COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION MEETING: February 13, 2017
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) Update
RECOMMENDATION
Update on activities and program efforts made towards the City's HEAL resolution.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• City of La Quinta became an HEAL city in February 2010.
• The goal is to promote and develop a safe and healthy city.
• Update the Commission on the progress made since the resolution was passed.
FISCAL IMPACT
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
In 2004, the League of California Cities adopted a resolution to engage cities to embrace
policies that facilitate activities promoting healthier lifestyles including healthy diet and
nutrition and the adoption of a resolution of City design and planning principles that
enable citizens of all ages and abilities to undertake exercise. In 2006, the League of
California Cities adopted a resolution to work together with the Institute for Local
Government and the Cities, Counties, and School Partnerships (CCS) to develop a
clearinghouse of information that can be used to promote wellness policies and healthier
cities. In response to the League resolution, the CCS Partnership and the California Center
for Public Health Advocacy launched the HEAL Campaign.
On February 16, 2010, City Council adopted a resolution to become a HEAL City
(Attachment 1). The resolution supported the efforts of the HEAL Cities Campaign. Since
the adoption of the resolution the City has:
• Continued to provide health and wellness recreation and education programs and
expanded the Wellness Center to include a state of the art fitness center.
Partnerships with health agencies such as Desert Regional Medical Center,
Eisenhower Medical Center, JFK Memorial Hospital, Live Well Clinic, and others help
to provide with the public with health presentations and screenings every year.
• Continued to partner with other agencies such as the Boys & Girls Club, Desert
Recreation District, YMCA of the Desert, and youth sports associations to
encourage and provide recreation programming that promotes physical activity.
Partnership programs include an open gym basketball and volleyball programs at
the B&G gymnasium; Desert Youth Olympics and contract pool services during the
9
summer months with the YMCA of the Desert; holiday use and closure during La
Quinta Arts Festival allows fitness members from both agencies to access use of
the others fitness facility with Desert Recreation District.
• Updated hiking trail maps, online information, and biking routes on city streets;
provide free hiking programs through partnerships with the Stewards of the Fred
Wolff Nature Preserve, Santa Rosa & San Jacinto Mountains National Monument,
and the Friends of the Desert Mountains.
• Encouraged nutrition standards for food offered at city events, sponsored
meetings, facilities, concessions and programs.
• Started a community herb and vegetable garden at the Wellness Center. Garden
offerings are incorporated in nutritional cooking programs.
• Continued to work with the FIND Food Bank along with other agencies to provide
fresh produce and bread to La Quinta residents.
• City employee offerings include health fairs, health education information,
sponsoring fitness programs, encouraging use of the Wellness Center fitness
center, provide an Employee Assistance Program.
• Provided information on city offerings at the farmer market in Old Town from
October through May; this is a community effort to reach out to residents, visitors,
and businesses on what the city is doing, answer questions and receive feedback.
Since becoming a HEAL city in 2010 the City has made efforts to encourage fitness and
wellness programs and facilities and provide information on nutrition and wellness to the
residents. It is through collaboration and the development of partnerships that we are
able to offer residents various indoor and outdoor fitness activities, special events, and
updated amenities at various facilities in the City. A 2015 Community Services Resident
Survey showed that 64% of residents felt the City does make a positive impact on the
health of individuals and their family members (Attachment 2).
In the effort to continue promoting and developing a safe and healthy La Quinta, we plan
on offering a variety of health and wellness recreation programs, special events that
encourage outdoor involvement, and partnering with other agencies to promote and
encourage physical activity.
ALTERNATIVES
Recommend to continue to provide health and wellness programs/ activities/ events in
relationship with the HEAL resolution and continue to seek partnership opportunities to
enhance offerings with outside agencies.

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE• APPOINT TWO COMMISSIONERS TO ASSIST THE CIVIC CENTER ART
PURCHASE COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDATION:
Appoint two Commissioners to assist the Civic Center Art Purchase Committee to select
Civic Center Art during the La Quinta Arts Festival (Festival).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Civic Center Art Purchase Committee selects art work from the Festival. The
availability of original artwork provides an opportunity to purchase unique pieces for the
City's Art in Public Places collection. Staff recommends the appointment of two
Commissioners to assist in the selection of art at the Festival.
FISCAL IMPACT -
An amount of $10,000 has been budgeted in the Art Purchase Account.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The Festival will be held from March 2 through March 5, 2017 at the Civic Center Campus.
Since 1989, the City has been selecting artwork from the La Quinta Arts Festival to be
displayed at City facilities. Two City Council Members, with the assistance from two
Community Services Commissioners, view the artwork at the Festival for consideration of
an art purchase. In 2016, Commissioners Simonds and Johnson were selected from the
Community Services Commission to assist the City Council members that served on the
Committee.
Historically, the Art Purchase Committee has met the first day of the Festival to select
artwork for the City with the artwork being delivered to the City after the Festival.
ALTERNATIVES:
Do not appoint two Commissioners to assist the Civic Center Art Purchase Committee to
select Civic Center Art during the La Quinta Arts Festival.
