Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

Huntington Park, CA 90255
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF A “LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR
TEMPORARY FIRE STATION 164 BETWEEN THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON PARK
AND THE CONSOLIDATED FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY” (LICENSE AGREEMENT)
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT CITY COUNCIL:
1. Consider for approval a License Agreement for the placement of a temporary Fire Station 164 at Raul R. Perez Memorial Park (Park); and
2. Authorize the City Manager to negotiate final terms and execute the License Agreement.
PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
In the morning of May 1, 2024, a fire erupted at the existing location of Fire Station 164 on Santa Fe Avenue in the City. After a prompt response to the incident, the fire was quickly extinguished which resulted in structural damage to the building, but no injuries to any personnel.
In order to continue to provide proper fire protection services for the City, the Consolidated Fire Protection District of Los Angeles County (Los Angeles County Fire Department) has requested the use of the real property located at 6208 Alameda Street, commonly known at Raul R. Perez Memorial Park. If approved, this location would serve as a temporary Fire Station 164 while the permanent Fire Station 164 is being repaired. In addition to the community building located at the Park, the Los Angeles County Fire Department is requesting the use of the parking area and basketball court for fire apparatus and support vehicle parking.
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF A “LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR
TEMPORARY FIRE STATION 164 BETWEEN THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON PARK
AND THE CONSOLIDATED FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY” (LICENSE AGREEMENT)
June 4, 2024
Approving the License Agreement will be temporary and will also provide facilities to continue fire protection services in the same manner as currently being offered to the residents of Huntington Park.
FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
The fiscal impact is minimal for any maintenance to be provided by the City for the temporary use of the community center as Temporary Fire Station 164. The County Fire will be responsible for all improvement(s) related to their use of the facilities for fire protection activities.
CONCLUSION
Upon Council approval, staff will proceed with the recommended actions and the City Manager will negotiate final terms and execute the License Agreement.
Respectfully submitted,
RICARDO REYES
City Manager
