Los Angeles Zoo Subject: LOS ANGELES ZOO NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION SUPPORT 5333 Zoo Drive GROUP Los Angeles California 90027 323/644-4200 In correspondence dated July 7, 2006, the Arts, Parks, Health and Aging Committee Fax 323/662-9786 (Committee) instructed various departments, including the Zoo Department to report http://www.lazoo.org back regarding any support that is received from other entities or organizations, and additional related information. Antonio R. Villaraigosa Mayor In response to this request, the Zoo Department hereby transmits information relative to TomLaBonge the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association (GLAZA), the Zoo's non-profit support Council Member 4th District organization, and the Operating Agreement that governs our relationship.

Zoo Commissioners BACKGROUND Kimberly Marteau When the Los Angeles Zoo opened in 1966 it was the fourth zoo to serve the City of Los President Angeles. In 1885, the city-owned Eastlake Zoo opened in East Los Angeles Park, and in Karen B. Winnick 1912 the Griffith Park Zoo opened up a few miles from the current Los Angeles Zoo site. Vice President In 1915, Colonel William Selig opened his combination movie studio and zoo, the Selig Shelby Kaplan Sloan Zoo, in Lincoln Park. By 1956, the citizens of Los Angeles realized their City had outgrown the small Griffith Park Zoo and passed a $6.6 million bond measure to help Mark D. Persaud build a new one. Bernardo Silva A 113-acre site in Griffith Park was chosen, and in 1964 a private, non-profit Richard Lichtenstein organization was created to support this new effort. Before the new zoo even opened, ex officio member GLAZA had already graduated a class of trained, volunteer docents; produced several issues of a quarterly magazine called Zoo View; and had begun raising money and John R. Lewis Zoo Director acquiring animals. In 1979, as the Zoo was still a division within the Recreation and Parks Department, the Board of Recreation and Parks Commissioners approved an Operating Agreement with GLAZA outlining their roles and responsibilities, and also approved a Concessions Agreement authorizing GLAZA to manage the concession operations here are the Zoo.

As time went on, and many facility and operational issues confronted the Los Angeles Zoo, the Mayor and City Council acted to establish the Zoo as its own separate City department in July 1997. Along with this new organization came a newly established Operating Agreement, approved by the Mayor and City Council in September 1997 (C.F. 94-0989-81).

Arts, Parks, Health & Aging vCJ,, ,mittee August31,2006 Page2

OPERATING AGREEMENT The Operating Agreement is the guiding document that clearly delineates the roles and responsibilities of GLAZA as the support organization to the Zoo Department. GLAZA's primary responsibility is to seek and provide financial support to the Zoo and fund the Zoo's capital improvements. GLAZA assists in these efforts through obtaining financial assistance through individuals, corporations, charitable foundations and governmental entities.

The specific highlights of the Operating Agreement are as follows:

• Term - The term is for 25 years, expiring in September 2021; • Concessions - The Operating Agreement authorizes GLAZA to subcontract for concession operations; • Membership Program - GLAZA is authorized to administer the Membership Program on behalf of the Zoo. The Agreement delineates the revenue split between the Zoo and GLAZA, which is further detailed in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU}. As of July 2006, there are 71,500 member households representing approximately 286,000 people; • Fundraising - The Agreement requires that annual goals and objectives be developed, including a written report with activities and timetables to achieve these goals provided to the Zoo Director from the GLAZA President; • Administration - The Agreement describes the reporting relationship between the City via the Zoo Department and GLAZA; and • Other Activities - The Agreement also provides the authority for GLAZA to perform additional duties as delineated in MOUs, which can not be for a term of more than three years, and must be approved by the City Attorney as to form and legality. Currently, GLAZA provides the additional services of publications and the administration of the Zoo website, coordination of volunteer programs and special events.

In addition to these specific provisions in the Agreement, it also includes common sections relative to proper accounting systems, audits of books and records, dispute resolution, termination, default and cancellation of the agreement, compliance with all laws and regulations, insurance and indemnification, and utilities.

RECENT CONTROLLER'S AUDIT The City Controller released an audit of GLAZA on December 26, 2002 that addressed issues regarding contract administration, governance, and fundraising. The report cited 25 recommendations designed to improve the working relationship between GLAZA and the Zoo, correct contract interpretation issues and improve internal controls. In its follow-up report dated August 24, 2005, the Controller noted that 21 of the 25 recommendations have been fully implemented and four are in progress. We are continuing to make progress on fully implementing the remaining two within the Zoo/GLAZA's purview.

CONCLUSION There has been tremendous progress over the last three years in the areas of governance, productive and impactful working relationships and fundraising efforts. In the last three years, membership has grown dramatically and is at an all-time high with over 71,000 members. The annual transfers to the Zoo Department Budget, which offsets the General Fund contribution has steadily been on the rise, going from approximately $1.3 million in Fiscal Year 2002-03, to $1.8 million in Fiscal Year 2005-06. In addition, fundraising has increased dramatically, with $5.05 million raised in 2005-06. GLAZA recently completed the raising of $7 million for Arts, Parks, Health & Aging Committee August31,2006 Page3 construction of the Campo Gorilla Habitat and pledged another $4.5 million for the Pachyderm Forest Habitat. This success has been accomplished through our combined efforts and tremendous public support. We are continuing on the right track for further achievements and are focused on our common vision statement "to nurture wildlife and enrich the human experience".

I am available to discuss this report with you in further detail at your convenience, and can be reached at (323) 644-4261.

Dear Mr. Alietti:

In response to Council instructions, December 14, 20C>5 (CF 04-0260) and in acc_ordance with established Board of Library Commissioners Policies, the Library Department has a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Library Foundation of Los Angeles and Memorandums of Agreements (MOAs) with forty-five Friends groups. All Agreements are for three-year periods and have been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney as to form and legality.

The Library Foundation of Los Angeles is a non-profit charitable organization, 501 (c) 3, founded in 1992 to raise funds from the private sector to enhance the services and programs of the Los Angeles Public Library. The Los Angeles Public Library and the Library Foundation of Los Angeles issue a joint annual report that includes financial information from the Library and from the Foundation.

The Friends of the Library are local support groups for individual branch libraries, subject departments or special services of the Library. Some of the groups are incorporated with 501 (3) 3 status; others are not incorporated. Most have 15-40 members; a few have several hundred members. The groups volunteer in the libraries, hold book sales and often donate the proceeds to enhance library services. Per the Memorandum of Agreement, Friends are asked to submit annual financial information to the Los Angeles Public Library. There are sixty-four active Friends of the Library groups; forty-five of the groups have MOAs with the Library. We are working with the remaining groups to complete their MOAs this calendar year.

Subject: REPORT BACK ON DEPA

This memo reports on the City of Los Angeles Department of Aging's (LADOA) support groups (as requested in the July 7, 2006 memo from the Arts, Parks, Health and Aging Committee).

The LADOA is providing assistance in developing a non-profit foundation, still in the formation stages. The Department to date has secured approval from the California Secretary of State's office for the non-profit's Articles of Incorporation; has submitted the required application for exempt status to the State of California; has submitted the application to the Internal Revenue Service for securing the non-profit's 501 (c) (3) status, and other initial administrative actions. Upon full approval of state and federal agencies as a 501 (c) (3) organization, the Los Angeles Foundation on Aging (LAFA) will support the LADOA mission. The Department's staff support to the non-profit is also in the process of developing fundraising activities, so that these initiatives can be launched once the approvals have been secured. Although LAFA is not yet fully formed; not ready to financially support LADOA's programs; and not ready to negotiate an M.O.U., the Department is prepared to begin negotiating such agreements when LAFA is fully formed.

If you have any questions, contact Dale Osborne of my staff at (213) 252-4028.

ARTS, PARKS, HEALTH AND AGING COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the roles, responsibilities, financial relationships, and related matter between support groups and City departments.

Recommendations for Council action, as initiated by Motion (LaBonge - Garcetti):

1. INSTRUCT the Department of Aging (Aging), the Animal Services Department (ASD), the Commission for Children, Youth and Their Families (CCYF), the Cultural Heritage Board (CHB), the Department of Disability (DOD), El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historic Monument Authority Department (El Pueblo), Library Department (Library), the Department of Recreation and Parks (DRP), the Department of the Zoo, and any other appropriate City department, to:

a. Identity and inventory all entities which provide support in any form to their respective departments and to report this information to the Arts, Parks, Health and Aging committee.

b. Draft a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with their respective support groups that defines the roles, responsibilities, and financial relationships between the support group and the City department which includes, at a minimum, the purpose of the support group, the use of City facilities, indemnification, and the need for financial accounting.

c. Submit an annual financial accounting of all activities with, between, and/or related to their respective support group(s).

2. MANDATE that all subsequent MOAs be:

a. Signed by both the support group and the department.

b. Approved by the appropriate Commission and/or the City Council as required by the City Charter.

c. Subject to the review of the City Attorney as to form and legality.

Fiscal Impact Statement: Neither the City Administrative Officer nor the Chief Legislative Analyst has completed a financial analysis of this report.

Summary:

On November 15, 2005, Council referred Motion (LaBonge - Garcetti), relative to the roles, responsibilities, financial relationships, and related matter between support groups and City departments, to the Arts, Parks, Health and Aging Committee for consideration. The subject Motion reports that on September 6, 2005, Council approved an Arts, Parks, Health & Aging Committee report containing two recommendations relative to the coordination between the City and non-profit organizations, private foundations, and support groups associated with the City. However, the Motion further reports that since approval, these support groups have raised concerns with the recommendation which established the goal whereby 80% of funds raised by support/booster organizations and groups go directly to fund the City department that the organization/group was established to support and that no more than 20% of funds raised are used to fund the administrative costs of the organization/group. The Motion asserts that establishing percentage goals does not account for the different needs of each support group, unusual changes in the economy, or for the size and scope of fund raising events that effect the administrative costs of support groups. As such, the Motion recommends that Council instruct Aging, ASD, CCYF, CHB, DOD, El Pueblo, Library, DRP, Zoo, and any other appropriate City department, to: (a) identify and inventory all entities which provide support in any form to their respective departments and to report this information to the Arts, Parks, Health and Aging committee; and (b) draft an MOA with their respective support groups that defines the roles, responsibilities, and financial relationships between the support group and the City department which includes, at a minimum, the purpose of the support group, the use of City facilities, indemnification, and the need for financial accounting. The Motion further recommends that Council mandate that all subsequent MOAs be: (a) signed by both the support group and the department; (b) approved by the appropriate Commission and/or the City Council as required by the City Charter; and (c) subject to the review of the City Attorney as to form and legality.

At its regular meeting held November 22, 2005, the Arts, Parks, Health and Aging Committee discussed this matter with City staff and recommended that Council approve the recommendations contained within Motion (LaBonge - Garcetti). The Committee further recommended that Council instruct all City departments, as appropriate, to submit an annual financial accounting of all activities with, between, and/or related to their respective support group(s). This matter is now submitted to Council for its consideration.

On September 6, 2005 the City Council approved the Arts, Parks, Health & Aging Committee report adopting Motion (LaBonge-Garcetti) (CF 04-0260) with two recommendations. Since its adoption, these support groups have raised concerns with Recommendation No. 2 which established the goal where 80% of funds raised by support/booster organizations and groups go directly to fund the City department that the organization/ group was established to support and that no more than 20% of funds raised are used to fund the administrative costs of the organization or group. Establishing percentage goals does not account for the different needs of each support group, unusual changes in the economy, or for the size and scope of fund raising events that effect the administrative costs of support groups.

I THEREFORE MOVE that the Department of Aging, the Animal Services Department, the Commission for Children, Youth and their Families, the Cultural Heritage Board, the Department of Disability, El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historic Monument Authority Department, Library Department, the Department of Recreation and Parks, the Los Angeles Zoo and any other appropriate City departments, to identify and inventory all entities which provide support in any form to their respective departments and to report this information to the Arts, Parks, Health and Aging committee.

I FURTHER MOVE that the aforementioned City departments draft a Memorandum of Agreement with their support groups to define the respective roles, responsibilities and financial relationships between the support group and the City department, and that such an Agreement should include at a minimum the purpose of the support group, use of City facilities, indemnification and the need for :financial accounting.

I FURTHER MOVE that the agreements be signed by both the support group and the department and approved by the appropriate Commission and/or the City Council as required by the City Charter.

I FURTHER MOVE that each Memorandum of Agreement be subject to the approval of the City Attorney as to form and legality.

On February 11, 2004, Council referred Motion (LaBonge - Hahn - Miscikowski), relative to the coordination between the City and non-profit organizations, private foundations, and support groups associated with the City, to the Arts, Parks, Health and Aging Committee for consideration. The subject Motion reports that many departments are affiliated with non-profit organizations, private foundations, and support groups (sometimes known as "booster'' organizations) who support the department's mission or functions. This support most frequently is in the form of monetary or equipment, donations, research, education, education, or volunteer labor.

Several support groups are highly organized charitable corporations who have entered into contract with the City to carry out specific activities which benefit the City/department directly or indirectly. There are also numerous multiple small community, neighborhood, or informal local groups which provide support to a particular park, recreational activity, local library, youth group, or cultural center.

The Motion further reports that although each organization has unique characteristics, there are certain common elements among the groups. Each is a non-profit organization or group who operates on behalf of the City or to enhance City functions. Many are located in City facilities and use City resources. In order to determine if more coordination is required between the City and support groups/organizations and if there is a need for policy oversight, it would be useful to learn how the support groups are operating and if they could be more effective in aiding the City. The Motion recommends that Council instruct Aging, ASD, CCYF, CHB, DOD, El Pueblo, Library, DRP, Zoo, and any other appropriate City department, to identify and inventory all entities which provide support in any form to their respective departments and to report this information to the Arts, Parks, Health and Aging Committee. The Motion further recommends that Council establish a goal that 80% of funds raised by support/booster organizations and groups go directly to fund the City department that the organization/group was established to support and that no more than 20% of funds raised be used to fund the administrative costs of the organization or group.

At a special meeting held August 9, 2005, the Arts, Parks, Health and Aging Committee discussed this matter with City staff. At that time, the ASD requested that it be added to the list of City departments instructed to report to the Arts, Parks, Health and Aging Committee. The Committee concurred with AS D's request and further added that "any other appropriate City department" be added to the list. The Committee concluded its consideration of this matter and recommended that Council approve the (aforementioned) amended recommendations of Motion (LaBonge - Hahn - Miscikowski). This matter is now forwarded to Council for its consideration.

Please see reverse of card for important information and submit this entire card to the presiding officer or chairperson. Many City departments are affiliated with non-profit organizations, private foundations and support groups (sometimes known as "booster" organizations) who support the department's mission or functions. This support most frequently is in the form of monetary or equipment, donations, research, education, education or volunteer labor. Several support groups are highly organized charitable corporations who have entered into contract with the City to carry out specific activities which benefit the City/department directly or indirectly.

There are also numerous multiple small community or neighborhood or informal local groups which provide support to a particular park, recreational activity, local library, youth group or cultural center.

In order to determine if more coordination is required between the City and support groups/organizations and if there is a need for policy oversight, it would be useful to learn how the support groups are operating and if they could be more effective in aiding the City.

I, THEREFORE, MOVE the City Council instruct the Department of Aging, the Commission for Children, Youth and Their Families, the Cultural Affairs Department (Cultural Heritage Board), the Department of Disability, El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historic Monument Authority Department, Library Department, the Department of Recreation and Parks and the Department of the Zoo to identify and inventory all entities which provide support in any form to their respective departments and to report this information to the Arts, Parks, Health and Aging Committee.

I, FURTHER, MOVE that the Arts, Parks, Health and Aging Committee invite support/booster groups to report to the Arts, Parks, Health and Aging Committee to discuss the work they do and how they can possibly be more effective.

I, FURTHER, MOVE that the City Council set the goal that '80% of funds raised by support/booster organizations and groups go directly to fund the City department that the organization/group was established to support and that no more than 20% of funds raised be used to fund the administrative costs of the organization or group.
