Assistant City Manager Weiss presented the staff report. City Council Minutes 6 March 5, 2002 In response to Mayor Pe~a, Mr. Weiss confirmed the funds will go to the Palm Springs Desert Resorts Convention and Visitors Authority and be forwarded to American Airlines. Council Member Adolph left the meeting at 3:40 p.m. due to a family emergency. Council Member Henderson noted the Palm Springs International Airport's marketing study recommended moving away from the subsidy because of the cloud it creates over other airlines that do not receive a subsidy. She noted, however, American Airlines will not guarantee the summer schedule flights without the subsidy. She stated the CVA is asking cities to fund the subsidy one more year and has formed an ad-hoc committee to find a long-range solution to have equal funding from a number of entities. She reviewed the amounts approved or considered by other cities/agencies as follows: Palm Desert $50,000, Palm Springs $50,000, Desert Hot Springs $5,000, Cathedral City $5,000, Riverside County $5,000, and CVEP $5,000. Council Member Perkins supported authorizing up to $25,000 and stated he spoke to three hotel managers who have agreed the hoteliers should share the cost and will be working to participate by next year. Council Member Sniff questioned the subsidy making any difference if people are not flying into the Valley. Council Member Henderson commented on the importance of Transient Occupancy Tax as a revenue source and noted hotels need to be assured of airlines coming into the Valley in order to make bookings in advance. She added American Airlines is the only air travel service into the Valley from the east coast. Mayor Pe~a noted some groups book reservations two years in advance and there will not be airline services from a national hub into the Valley if American Airlines pulls out. Council Member Sniff agreed to go along with the subsidy but was concerned about taking it out of the General Fund. Council Member Henderson noted the CVA is not in total agreement on this issue and stated she hopes they will have a different solution by next year. City Council Minutes 7 March 5, 2002 MOTION - It was moved by Council Members Sniff/Perkins to approve a funding request of up to 925,000 from the General Fund Reserve (Account # 101-000- 300-290) for continued summer service by American Airlines to the Palm Springs International Airport.

Council Member Henderson agreed Conrad and Associates has done a great job but stated she feels it's good to go out with an RFP once in a while. City Council Minutes 8 March 5, 2002 Mayor Pe~a concurred. In response to Mayor Pe~a, Mr. Falconer advised an RFP for auditing services has not gone out since 1992. He noted sometimes firms rotate partners to get a fresh look at the auditing records. He preferred staying with Conrad and Associates but understood there is a perception that change is good. Council Member Henderson suggested members of the Investment Advisory Board be included in the Selection Committee. Mr. Falconer confirmed two of the Investment Advisory Board Members are Certified Public Accountants. MOTION - It was moved by Council Members Sniff/Henderson to approve the Request for Proposals (RFP) for auditing services for the next five fiscal years, beginning July 1, 2002 and ending June 30, 2007, and authorize staff to initiate the selection process to contract for professional services and appoint two Investment Advisory Board Members to participate in the selection process.

Community Services Director Horvitz presented the staff report. Council Member Henderson stated she supported the events when put on by the Chamber of Commerce but felt even then it was more like a big block party. She felt the City has created the ideal street for such events but the Village Faire still remains a "flop." Council Member Sniff stated he spoke to some of the vendors at the last event and they suggested more diversity in vendors, including produce, and changing winter hours to 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. He felt the events are worthwhile and would like to continue them with modifications on hours and with more promotion. Council Member Perkins commented on the inability to compete with the C.O.D. and Palm Springs street fairs and stated he felt it would be confusing to change the hours. He suggested using the funds for something else. In response to Mayor Pe~a, Andrea Carter, of Kiner/Goodsell, Inc., stated some of the vendors feel it is too hard to do the Village Faire events the night before the C.O.D. street fair and some feel it is too costly for the hours. She stated they have tried to get produce vendors but have not been successful. As for attendance, she stated the event gains energy about 7:00 or 7:30 with 1,000 to 1,500 people in attendance and dies down around 9:00 p.m. Council Member Henderson noted starting the event at 5:00 p.m. would mean closing the street by 3:00 p.m. Additionally, a lot of people don't get off work until 5:00 p.m. Mayor Pe~a suggested the events may do better with a band and not have the vendors. Ms. Carter stated Calle Estado doesn't have a good area for bands to entertain and she felt the Civic Center Campus will better accommodate that type of activity. Mayor Pe~a noted the Civic Center Campus is intended to be a passive park. Council Member Perkins didn't have a problem drawing people to the Campus at night for events. City Council Minutes 10 March 5, 2002 Mayor Pe~a stated he was leaning toward eliminating the Village Faire and using the funds for other events such as community concerts. Council Member Sniff noted the City has spent a lot of time, effort, and money for these events by installing electrical and buying banners. He suggested either not doing the events or doing them in a different venue. He didn't feel the layout on Calle Estado lends itself very well to the Village Faire events and agreed with having entertainment without vendors. Ms. Carter suggested including the events in the RFP to see if any ideas come from it. Council Member Henderson suggested eliminating the event for a while and see if the business community feels it's important. Mayor Pe~a concurred to discontinue the Village Faire events until the Civic Center Campus is completed and other activities, such as concerts, are considered. City Manager Genovese advised staff will remove the Village Faire component from the RFP (Business Item No. 1) and generate general concepts for entertainment at various locations. REPORTS AND INFORMATIONAL ITEMS CVAG Executive Committee -- Mayor Pe~a reported the Executive Committee has adopted a modified resolution for the Salton Sea. City Manager Genovese spoke regarding the Valleywide Animal Campus issue and advised the County is still considering two sites. As for the Indio facility, the County has sent correspondence to Indio, Coachella, and La Quinta regarding upgrading of that facility. All other reports were noted and filed.

City Council Minutes 11 March 5, 2002 MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS' ITEMS 1. DISCUSSION OF ADDING A SHADE COVERING FOR THE DAY WORKERS PICK-UP SITE. Council Member Perkins suggested installing a shade structure for the day workers pick-up site.

Council Member Perkins stated he felt the shade structure would help draw the day workers to the location. 2. DISCUSSION REGARDING ROUNDABOUT IN THE VILLAGE. Council Member Perkins commented on the signage at the Village roundabout and suggested the one-way signs be changed to read "Keep Right" to get people to travel around the roundabout. 3.

Building & Safety Director Hartung presented the staff report. In response to Council Member Henderson, Mr. Hartung confirmed the Architecture and Landscape Review Committee (ALRC) at one point discussed a red metal roof but later recommended the color of the roof tile match the split- face block wall, which they also recommended continue around the well site. Council Member Henderson stated she understood a red tile roof had been discussed both by the ALRC and the Planning Commission. Kelley Needham, 10470 Foothill Boulevard, Rancho Cucamonga, of WLC Architects, stated he recalled the ALRC discussing the roof material matching the wainscot and the wall plan for the project and that is when the idea of red tile died. He stated the ALRC felt the red tile was too strong. Council Member Adolph commented on the need for contrast in the design. Council Member Henderson noted the Council discussed compatibility with the neighborhood and questioned how many gray tile roofs are in the area. After a brief discussion, Council concurred to go with a terra cotta, barrel tile roof material. City Council Minutes 14 March 5, 2002 In response to Council Member Perkins, Mr. Needham confirmed the facility will accommodate a ladder truck, fire engine, and paramedic unit.

City Council Minutes 15 March 5, 2002 Council Member Adolph recommended the door on the south side of the kitchen be reversed to swing toward the wall. He also noted the need to provide maintenance access to the A~C unit on the east side of the building and suggested moving it closer to the alleyway. In response to Council Member Adolph, Paul Johnson, of Ferris Johnson Design, stated decorative wrought-iron fencing is proposed on the north side to provide flexibility in the use of the facility. It would provide interior use of the building and exit independent of the courtyard use and vice versa. Council Member Adolph questioned it serving a purpose and noted it would allow a collection of wind-blown trash. He was concerned about the aesthetics of the wall and security. Mr. Johnson stated the wall can be eliminated and replaced with a decorative gate. Council Member Sniff suggested an arch with a wooden gate or curved wrought iron to stay with the theme and match the arched window design. Mr. Johnson noted the basic design is easier to fit within the budget. Council Member Adolph pointed out decorative art can be used on the wrought- iron fence to be compatible to the theme. Council Member Sniff suggested using decorative material to give the sense of an arch. Mayor Pe~a suggested the door to the museum store be moved slightly toward the south to be away from the courtyard entrance. Barbara Irwin, 44-065 Camino La Cresta, asked about a demonstration garden on the landscape design Mr. Johnson advised the site has areas that will accommodate a demonstration garden but none is proposed. Ms. Irwin stated a demonstration garden would allow the plants to be used in lectures without having to cut them. In response to Council Member Sniff, she stated the plants they would like to have in the demonstration garden are: arrow weed, bladder pod, saltbush, creosote, and salt cedar. The plants could be started in wooden pots and transplanted to a permanent area when it is ready.
