City Council Minutes 2 November 1, 2005 PUBLIC COMMENT Ian Rhoades, 43-905 Milan Court, came forward to speak regarding the School District project on Palm Royale. Council Member Osborne advised of a potential conflict of interest due to the close proximity of his property to this site, and left the dais. Mr. Rhoades thanked the City Manager for letting him know that his wall will match the height of the wall at the corner of Rome Street and Palm Royale. He also indicated he feels the School District should construct a block wall around the school instead of chain link or wrought-iron fencing in light of the recent robbery at the site. Scott Arthur, 43-845 Milan Court, stated tearing down his wall and reconstructing it is not a viable option because of the damage it will do to his landscaping and the potential damage to his concrete pool deck. He believes a second wall should be constructed at the road instead of reconstructing his wall, which would cost more. In response to Council Member Henderson, City Manager Genovese stated everything is conceptual at this time. Mayor Adolph indicated the City will do whatever it can to resolve the situation but does not have any authority over School District property. * * * * * * * * * * Les Essary, 80-085 Vista Grande, asked for an update on the gate issue at the La Quinta Springs Apartments, and stated speeding traffic on Vista Grande is still a problem. City Manager Genovese stated the City of Indio has not responded to La Quinta's request for documents but a letter has been sent to the County, who is the lead agency for the Jefferson Street construction, to find out what their intent is regarding the gate being returned to its original form. He indicated police presence in the area has been increased, and asked that the City be made aware if more is needed. * * * * * * * * * * Tracy Rutledge, 50-960 Calle Obispo, questioned why baseball club teams are being charged a fee to use the ballfields, and noted La Quinta is the only city that charges the fee. He realizes the Recreation District teams have first priority for the City Council Minutes 3 November 1, 2005 ballfields but believes the club teams should be able to use the fields at no charge otherwise. In response to Mayor Adolph, City Manager Genovese confirmed the Facility Use Policy was approved June 21, 2005. Council concurred to have staff provide them with a copy of the June 21 st staff report. * * * * * * * * * Mark Weber, 78-795 Wakefield Circle, representing Imperial Irrigation District, indicated they plan to make a presentation at the next Council meeting regarding their new Green Path Project.

CONSIDERATION OF ACTION TO TAKE FROM THE TABLE THE AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY CHARTER AND MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE COMMUNITY SERVICES AND CULTURAL ARTS COMMISSIONS. City Manager Genovese presented the staff report. City Council Minutes 6 November 1, 2005 Council Member Osborne stated he brought this issue up initially but didn't intend that no Commission meetings would take place for such a long period of time. He feels the Council should be able to come to some agreement on this issue. MOTION - It was moved by Council Members Osborne/Henderson to remove from the table the amendments to the City Charter and Municipal Code relating to the Community Services and Cultural Arts Commissions.

CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST BY THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOR EXPANDED USE OF THE LIBRARY FACILITY. , Building & Safety Director Hartung presented the staff report. In response to Council Member Henderson, Mr. Hartung stated the rental fee will be transferred from a line item in the library fund budget for rental space. City Manager Genovese indicated the line-item revenue is primarily redevelopment tax dollars. In response to Council Member Sniff, Mr. Hartung stated the Chamber is requesting the use of the classroom five or six additional hours a month. Council Member Osborne inquired about the rental rate, to which Mr. Hartung responded the rental fee is $50/hour for La Quinta non-profit groups. He added the library doesn't anticipate mid-day rental requests. - ---....-- -----~-_...._.~---_.~.~-_.- City Council Minutes 7 November 1, 2005 Council Member Henderson inquired about any parking problem considerations, and the absence of handicap parking spaces. Mr. Hartung stated parking is not expected to be a problem. As for handicap parking, the original sites were too steep, and it was decided the existing handicap spaces at the Senior Center would be sufficient. Council Member Henderson noted that could be a problem because she understands someone has complained about not being able to find a handicap parking space at the library. In response to Mayor Adolph, Mr. Hartung stated the Chamber meetings last approximately one hour, and generally have 10-20 people. Mayor Adolph asked if the Chamber understands they will have second choice if the classroom is needed by someone else. Mr. Hartung stated staff can include that in the lease agreement if Council wishes but otherwise the room would not be rented to another group if the Chamber has a scheduled meeting date. Mayor Adolph stated he doesn't want to charge the Chamber but feels they should be willing to relocate their meetings if there is a conflict. Lew Piper, 78-371 Highway 111, representing the La Quinta Chamber of Commerce, stated he believes most of the scheduling conflicts and parking concerns can be handled by holding their meetings on Mondays or before 10:00 a.m. when the library is closed. Mr. Genovese noted the classroom is not just for library use, and that the rental program is available to other groups. Mr. Piper stated they would be willing to step aside, with adequate notice, if someone else needs the classroom. Irene Wickstrom, La Quinta Librarian, stated the library has a 10:00 a.m. meeting on Tuesday mornings that requires setup time. Mayor Adolph suggested she meet with the Chamber to verify any other conflicts. Council Member Henderson stated she will support the Chamber's request but voiced concern that it will have a snowball effect. It pencils out City Council Minutes 8 November 1, 2005 financially but also opens the door and makes it difficult to deal with other organizations. MOTION - It was moved by Council Members Sniff/Osborne to modify the lease agreement with the Chamber of Commerce to meet their request for meeting space but not to be intrusive on any library function. Motion carried with Council Member Perkins ABSENT. 4. CONSIDERATION OF AMENDING GOLF COURSE RATES FOR THE ARNOLD PALMER CLASSIC COURSE AT SilverRock RESORT AND POLICIES RELATING THERETO. Public Works Director Jonasson presented the staff report. In response to Council Member Osborne, City Manager Genovese clarified the two-year term will apply to new resident cards only, and not extend existing cards. He indicated there will be no change in the $15 pro'cessing fee. Council Member Henderson inquired about the possibility of extending the existing cards. Mr. Genovese stated he believes it will be easier to start the two-year term as cards are renewed. Mayor Adolph indicated he supports the two-year term. Mark Bailes, 54-971 Shoal Creek, of The Residence Club at PGA West, requested consideration be given to allowing fractional ownerships to qualify for resident cards. In response to Council Member Henderson, Mr. Bailes stated they purchased . golf memberships from KSL for their property owners at $6,500 each. They would like for their property owners to be able to play at SilverRock but haven't indicated that their property purchase includes the right to play there. Council Member Osborne stated he feels it would be difficult to monitor resident cards for businesses and partial ownerships. He supports the two- year term for resident cards and free golf for Council Members. He noted SilverRock is an important project for the City, and he feels the more time the Council can spend there the better. City Council Minutes 9 November 1, 2005 Council Member Sniff stated he doesn't understand why it would be difficult to identify business owners for a resident card. In response to Council Member Sniff, Finance Director Falconer stated there are 2,900 active business licenses in the City but it would take further research to determine how many are retail businesses. Council Member Sniff stated he believes a golf discount would be a nice thank you to businesses for investing in the City, and that there should be some way to provide resident cards to fractional ownerships. He is opposed to free golf for Council Members if a discount rate can't be provided to businesses, and suggested resident cards be issued for three years for a $25 processing fee. Council Member. Henderson stated she doesn't support giving businesses a resident card nor free golf for Council Members. She stated she doesn't have a problem with two or three-year terms for resident cards unless staff feels three years would be a" problem. As for resident cards for fractional ownerships, she doesn't feel part ownership is residency. Mayor Adolph noted it's difficult to get a starting time if too many people receive the discount rate, and that the purpose of having affordable golf is for people who cannot afford to pay the private course fees. He doesn't support giving businesses a discount rate, and noted a lot of the businesses probably qualify for resident cards. He doesn't have a problem with Council Members paying for golf, and he is flexible with the resident card term as long as the fee is not raised. He stated he understands Mr. Bailes' request but feels the purpose of the golf course is to provide affordable golf to City residents. In response to Council Member Henderson, Mr. Genovese indicated the only concern with a three-year term is that card holders may move and no longer be residents of the City. He recommended not increasing the processing fee. Council Member Osborne stated he will go along with the Council but feels it's "pennywise and pound-foolish" not to allow free golf for Council Members. MOTION - It was moved by Council Members Henderson/Sniff to direct staff to prepare an amendment to the golf course rates for the Arnold Palmer Classic Course at SilverRock Resort and changing the Resident Card term to three years. Motion carried with Council Member Perkins ABSENT. City Council Minutes 10 November 1, 2005 STUDY SESSION 1 . DISCUSSION REGARDING PALM SPRINGS DESERT RESORTS CONVENTION AND VISITORS AUTHORITY JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT. City Manager Genovese presented the staff report. Council Member Henderson referenced an email from Ted Lennon wherein he spoke in support of the City maintaining its membership in the CV A. Jeff Beckelman, the new CEO of the CV A, briefly reviewed his background, and indicated they will be changing the way the marketing plan is done by having the communities work together on it. Council Member Osborne expressed appreciation for Mr. Beckelman's intent to get input from the cities on the CV A budget. Mr. Beckelman stated they are committed to working with the cities and will produce. Council Member Sniff noted in order for a notice of intent to withdraw to be considered, it must be on the next City Council agenda. His concerns somewhat parallel Palm Desert's concerns, with the organization's name being a main concern. He feels the cities should have equal status. He also disagrees with non-elected members voting on the use of public funds, and with having a full-time person to benefit the City of Palm Springs Convention Center. He indicated as long as these items remain in the JPA, he will not support it, and stated he would like for this matter to be placed on the November 15th agenda for discussion and potential action. Council Member Henderson stated she feels Council Member Sniff's concerns are justified but noted the issues of non-elected members voting and a full-time person being hired for the Palm Springs Convention Center are not in the JPA document. Those requests have been made by the HIVC, and are being discussed but no recommendation has been made to go back to the cities to add these items to the JPA. She indicated she does not support these issues and neither do a lot of the cities but she prefers staying with a positive emphasis at this time. She expects Mr. Beckelman to make some headway, and feels he should be given some time to reveal his game plan. She believes the City should get input from its businesses that are members of the CV A because they will not be allowed membership if the City withdraws. --- -_.- --- "------- -_..~ - ~ - - ------ City Council Minutes 11 November 1, 2005 Mr. Beckelman stated he has heard the Council's concerns; they will be discussed, and there will be some change. Council Member Osborne noted the hospitality businesses in La Quinta are strong advocates of the CV Ä, and he feels the City should listen to them. He is not willing to vote on giving notice at this time or within the next 30 days. As for changing the name, he is willing to wait and hear what the CVA has to say. In response to Council Member Sniff, City Attorney Jenson confirmed in order for the City to withdraw by January 2007, a notice of intent to withdraw would have to be submitted by November 30, 2005. Council Member Sniff commented he feels it would be a gross error not to consider all of the cities' names in the name of the organization. Mayor Adolph voiced disappointment about Palm Springs and Indian Wells being the only cities represented on the reorganization ad-hoc committee. He added he feels Mr. Beckelman should have a chance to make some changes, and that it is better to stay together at this time. Council Member Henderson noted the ad-hoc committee consisted of more than Indian Wells and Palm Springs. She stated she wasn't appointed to the committee because she didn't have the time for the meetings but the City was represented on the HIVC side by the La Quinta Resort. Mayor Adolph stated the vast majority of the committee were from Indian Wells or Palm Springs, and he feels people from other cities should have been actual members of the committee. Council Member Sniff requested an item be placed on the next City Council agenda for consideration to withdraw from the CV A. Council Member Henderson stated it would be hard to oppose putting it on the agenda but she won't support giving notice.

Mayor Adolph stated once the construction is completed, the City will do whatever it can legally do to get the gate back to where it was before the construction began. Mike Livingston, 80-065 Vista Grande, expressed urgency in getting something done about the situation. City Council Minutes 14 November 1, 2005 Public Works Director Jonasson stated the Jefferson Street construction documents do not contain improvements to the gate.

The Mayor declared the PUBLIC HEARING OPEN at 7:22 p.m. City Council Minutes 15 November 1, 2005 Richard Oliphant, 77-900 Avenue of the States, Palm Desert, managing partner of CP Development, reviewed the proposed changes, and noted the site has been fully graded. He indicated that at two town hall meetings, they received mostly positive feedback from neighboring residents. One resident has expressed concern about increased traffic and Seeley Dr1ve being used as a cut-across street but the traffic circle should discourage through traffic. He reviewed the ingress/egress for the project, and noted the only left-turn allowed will be at the signalized intersection of Seeley Drive and Miles Avenue. Tim Lowery, representing Lennar Homes, briefly reviewed the casitas part of the project, and indicated the additional one-story buildings will be limited to four units each, and the two-story buildings will have eight units each.

In response to Council Member Henderson, Mr. Surfling stated phase one will focus on the previously-mentioned services with a major emphasis on internal medicine. Phase two will be more surgically-oriented, and phase three is yet to be determined. In response to Mayor Adolph, Mr. Surfling stated they have an extensive expansion and renovation plan for the Rancho Mirage facility, and a major development plan to recruit new physicians to the area. City Council Minutes 16 November 1, 2005 In response to Council Member Henderson, Mr. Surfling stated it's not unlikely, within the next 10 years, that Kaiser Permanente will build a hospital in the Valley. They believe growth in the Valley is rapid enough, however, to accommodate Kaiser's expansion as well. Council Member Henderson asked about dust control for the area that may remain undeveloped for several years. Mr. Johnson indicated it can be addressed under the site development permit process. Mr. Oliphant stated he believes dust control and maintenance of the facilities is covered under the Development Agreement. Mr. Jonasson noted the City has received a PM 10 bond for the entire site. Council Member Henderson stated she just wants to be sure the City has some control over the vacant land being reasonably maintained. Mayor Adolph asked if the landscape buffers in that area will be put in along the perimeters. Mr. Surfling stated they are not opposed to a reasonable requirement.
