This doesn't sound like a democracy. This sounds like a dictatorship. There are some responsible people in this community that can take care of their own garbage without dumping it in the desert. We're going to have our water rates raised, gas raised, phone raised. high electricity bills, food prices and clothing are high, and now we re going to HAVE to by law) have garbage pick up. Well, that's fine for the people who can afford it and want home pick up. I, personally, can't afford another bill even if it is just 19.OO every three months, and T'm sure I'm not alone. What about the week-enders and the people who only come here a few time a year? Are they going to have to pay for a service that they don't receive or need? Is this fair? I agree that garbage dumped in the desert is unsightly. I don't lie it either, but how about a few alternatives? Why couldn't we have a community dumpster in a convenient location in the area. There could be a reasonable fee, It could be open on the weekend and maybe one day during the week. L Quinta should have a recycling area where residents can turn in bottles, aluminum cans, and paper as well as deposit trash for a fee. This could bring in some extra money for the community, help us keep La quinta clean, and give us one more choice. It would still leave the Option of going to the dump if we want to. Don't take away the choice from the responsible people because of a few jerks who dump in the desert. Give us a break, not another law and bill. A Jeannie M.

I suggest that we want to consider if a policy is needed relating to this issue prior to approval. It seems to me that we have the following choices: 1. Approve the project, setting a precedent for multi- story developments 2. Review our options for policy on this issue. Such as: A. Do other cities have limits of this nature? B. Do we want a height limit, or do we want a story limit? If so, what are the limits? What is legal? 3. Approve this project, since it has gone through staff review and Planning Commission recommendation, but establish policy for future developments. What do you think?

Henderson, Council Member Date: January 26, 1983 Subject: Planning Proposal As the incOrporation election becomes more of a memory and many of the initial organizational requirements of our newly formed City have been met, I would like to propose a plan of action for the Council's discussion. I can't help but feel that it is now time to establish some specific and measurable goals for the City of La Quinta. These goals should be divided into short term 1-12 month) goals and long term 1-3 year) goals. The goals would relate to very specific needs and/or jobs to be completed. Examples of suggested goals could relate to: 1) exami- nation and establishment of a sign ordinance; 2) planning for future large capital expenditures; and 3) designating and implementing a time frame for the development of the General Plan. During this process of setting goals, we would designate a planned date of completion and prioritize thern by their importance and urgency. A formal setting of goals and objectives will allow us t effectivly meet the continued needs of the community, as well as better evaluate the performance of both the staff and Council. We would be able to periodically reevaluate these goals, possibly quarterly or semi- annually) to determine the success of and compliance to the plan, while also making any alterations that might be needed. Again, this proposal is nothing more than a rough outline presented with the hope that a discussion by the City Council will bring a more fruitful and efficient manner of dealing with the inevitable plethora of situations and suggestions that will confront us during the months to come.

I attended the Public Hearing of the La Quinta Planning Commission on January 11, 1983. During the meeting I noted a concern, by the Planning Commis- sion, for the future development of the area adjacent to Avenue 50. It was apparent that there are no firm future plans for much of the area. The Planning Commission could not attempt to predict the future traffic requirements along Avenue 50. In my former community, it was common for the City to require a 10 foot easement along the frontage of all property in a develop- ing area. This was to allow for future expansion of any public roadways and for the location of any future sewer or utility needs without the major removal of roadways. Such planning made good common sense and allowed future develop- ment of the community without being limited by decisions which would not allow expansion. One of the items of concern during the meeting was the position- ing of a wall and internal roadway approximately paralleling Avenue 50. If our present community planning commission were to consider or recommend such an easement requirement in all developments in the area, the future of our community can only be improved and the mis- takes of previous planning corrected. The impact of such a requirement on the current planned develop- ment on Avenue 50 would only cause the possible re-location or loss of one building of the entire complex and minor re-location, narrow- ing and/or elimination of a short portion of internal roadway. No major water, sewer or utility lines would be affected. As a concerned member of the community, I urgently request that the easement requirement be given serious consideration as it will affect present and future development of our City.

Usher, City Manager Date: January 28, 1983 Subject: Angle Parking on Calle Estado and Calle La Fonda Under current State law and local ordinance requirements, parking is permitted on Calle Estado and Calle La Fonda only parallel to the curb. Because of limited off-street parking, it has become customary for business patrons to park at various locations in the center of these two streets, between the islands. Recently, the Sheriff has begun to enforce the applicable laws relative to parking, and this has caused some difficulty with various business owners Because of the width of the street and lack of off-street parking, it seems appropriate at the present time to provide some assistance by allowing 900 angle parking in the center of the street between islands. The accompanying resolution and ordinance provide authority for the establishment of such parking as approved by the City Engineer. I would expect that we would be able to provide 3 5 parking spaces between each island, with 20' drive-throughs at each end of each parking area. Adoption of the resolution and introduction of the ordinance is respectfully recommended. 7< BIB] 09-05-1996-U01 09:48:03AM-U01 CC-U02 02-U02 01-U02 1983-U02 $ NOTEXTPAGE BIB] 09-05-1996-U01 09:48:03AM-U01 CC-U02 02-U02 01-U02 1983-U02 $ NOTEXTPAGE BIB] 09-05-1996-U01 09:48:03AM-U01 CC-U02 02-U02 01-U02 1983-U02 $ NOTEXTPAGE BIB] 09-05-1996-U01 09:48:03AM-U01 CC-U02 02-U02 01-U02 1983-U02 $ MEMORANDUM CITY OF LA QUINTA To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council From: Frank M.

Box 1504 La Quinta, California 92253 Dear Mayor Wolff and Members of the City Council.' The Executive Committee of the Coachella Valley Association of Governments met on January 25, 1983 and accepted a recommendation from a subcommittee regarding a proposed Genera Telephone Company application for a rate increase that will soon be submitted to the California Public Utilities Commission. The formal action that was adopted by the CVAG Executive Committee is as follows: 1) CVAG takes no position on the GTE application at this time; 2) CVAG recom- mends that all of the Coachella Valley city councils receive a presentation from General Telephone Company officials explaining the reasons and rationale for the proposed rate increase; and 3) CVAG encourages GTE officials to initiate contacts with all of the city councils, Coachella Valley chambers of commerce and other public interest agencies and offer to make presentations which explain the elements of the proposed rate increase. In reviewing this matter, the members of the CVAG Executive Committee recognize that GTE service in the Coachella Valley has historically been very poor. Most concede however that telephone service has improved greatly in the last couple of years. The members of the CVAG Executive Committee also recognize the dif- ferences between the SCE application for a rate increase and the GTE application in that electric service is complicated by the unique hot climate area in southern California whereas the telephone rate increases will equally apply to all parts of southern California including the low desert area. The CVAG Executive Committee realizes that local government officials will receive numerous complaints from their citizenry regarding a proposed rate increase and for that reason CVAG encourages GTE to make a concerted effort to explain the rationale for the pro- posed rate increase to city councils, chambers of commerce and other community organizations so that the general public at large will be able to have a better understanding of the reasons for the proposed rate increase. This recommendation of the CVAG Executive Committee is transmitted to you as an information item.
