September 4, 2014 Page 3 It was decided to bring the item back at a future meeting for approval, with revised language in Section 4 for the sake of clarity. C. Approval of MRCA Final Budget Lewanda introduced Jeff Jones, Asst. Financial Officer of MRCA, who presented the budget to the Board. He reviewed MRCA’s activities over the past year, including the opening of three major parks totaling 13 million dollars spent. $100,000 was received from the Los Angeles Dept. of Sanitation in support of the “Paddle the L.A. River” project, now in its fourth year. Special Events/Facility Rentals resulted in over $1M in revenue. The Budget being presented has been approved by MRCA and SMMC and will go to the Rancho Simi Recreation and Park District for approval on September 19th. Jones was thanked for his informative presentation and answered Board Member’s questions. It was moved by Jones, seconded by Holt, and carried 5-0 to approve the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA) Final Budget for Fiscal Year 2014-15 as presented. D. Five Vehicle Purchase – Reject All Bids Hare explained two bids were received; one bid was NO BID and the other was non-responsive. Staff will re-advertise the bid as soon as possible and bring results back to the Board in the near future; non-compliant bidders will be notified of the bid being re-opened. It was moved by Holt, seconded by Lange, and carried 5-0 to reject all bids. E. Transfer $71,000 from Districtwide Assessment to Capital Fund; Award Bid for Rancho Potrero Public Access Project and Associated Actions Hare explained the bid process and the protests received. DPM, the low bidder, had an irregularity in the bid which Hare is asking the Board to waive as it has no bearing on the price of the bid. The bids came in slightly high – which explains the need for a transfer of funds. The $71,000 cost will be split 50/50 between the City (COSCA) and CRPD. This project must be done between October 1 and February 1 due to the grasshopper sparrow, a protected species, so as to avoid their nesting season. It was moved by Huffer, seconded by Lange, and carried 5-0 to: 1. Deny Draper Construction protest of the DPM Construction and FS Construction’s bids.
