Presentations: ( 1 ) Martin Langer COACHELLA VALLEY CONCERTS ASSOCIATION 49994 El Circulo La Quinta, CA 92253 (619) 564-2111 Grant Request: $5,000 Comments: No representative present. ( 2 ) Gerald Hundt Family YMCA OF THE DESERT/ La Quinta Child Care Center 49-955 Park Avenue La Quinta, CA 92253 Grant Request: $8,000 e e COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION April 27, 1992 - Meeting Minutes Page 3 ages have single parents. They are asking for funds to subsidize these (single) parents so they do not have to charge them the full fee to attend the child care and summer day camp programs. The school age program runs from September to June, from 7 am until school begins and from school dismissal until 6 pm. The Day Camp runs during the summer, averaging 30 - 40 children a day, from 7 am to 6 pm. They are there all day, they also get bused to public swimming pools and various field trips. The Pre-School Program has 61 children enrolled, of which 25 have single parents. They are averaging $40 per week, per student in assistance. Some receive $10 reduction a week, some pay no fees at all. This is much more than they anticipated when they opened the Center. Q: Commissioner Best asked what they would specifically do with the $8,000 Grant money. A: It would be used in the pre-school and summer day camp programs, and be allocated to families who qualify. They will have to qualify by providing documentation of income with tax forms and paycheck stubs. It would be allocated over a 4-year period. Q: Best asked what percentage of total cost of programs would Grant money fund. A: The summer camp program budget is about $40,000 and pre-school program, depending on enrollment, could run $90,000 per year. So the Grant money would be a small part of the budget. Q: Commissioner Thompson asked what kind of programs they offer at the YMCA. A: Arts & Crafts, sports games, guest speakers during the summer, swimming twice a week, field trips and in all the programs they receive food. If they aren't donated money for the food, it still has to be provided. (3 ) Janiel K. Esmeralda, Vice President Grant Request: COACHELLA VALLEY PUBLIC EDUCATION FOUNDATION SPOOKTACULAR, INC. 51-377 Avenida Carranza (P.O. Box 138) La Quinta, CA 92253 (619) 564-3539 $2,450 Comments: Ms. Esmeralda said the organization has existed since 1987, receiving their non-profit status last year. They do community service projects on drug awareness. Their program received the "Best Special Event for 1991" from the National Federation of Parents and Californians for a Drug Free Youth. They have been networking with other groups to kick off six e e COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION April 27, 1992 - Meeting Minutes Page 4 national goals for the Coachella Valley to promote safe and drug free schools. They will use the Grant money for training programs such as one that helps students improve S.A.T. scores. High achievers in the 6th and 7th grades do have the opportunity to compete for John Hopkins University programs. Esmeralda also pointed out that they have no overhead, no administrative costs, all the money goes directly to the students. She added that the thing she finds exciting is that once they get the funding base to bring programs in, they've been able to match it in other districts and areas to spread it through all three districts. Q: Chairwoman Kennedy asked her to elaborate on the "Kings Court Players" Literature Enhancement program. A: They are a theatrical group that comes into the schools and interacts with the students in a multi-cultural music program. They were a little expensive to bring in this year. (Cost $795). ( 4 ) Jim Ducatte, Executive Director BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB OF COACHELLA VALLEY 77-861 Avenida Montezuma (P.O. Box 188) La Quinta, CA 92253 (619) 347-6715 Grant Request: $4,200 Comments: No representative present. (5 ) Mr. Ben Benachowski, Executive Director 74-940 Highway 111, Suite 115 Indian Wells, CA 92210 (619) 773-9919 Grant Request: $4,000 Comments: Mr. Benachowski said he is concerned that not one municipality is concerned with the intelligent child. They put on a concert ("Tubby the Tuba") for children yesterday afternoon, with some of the brightest students from Palm Springs and Palm Desert performing with the symphony. The story carries a terrific social impact in its musical line. Because they are a symphony, they cannot (normally) come to one community and are asking for help. He said, as he has done in the past, he will match any funds presented to them to put on a concert in La Quinta. He said they need help from all the communities, not just one. e e COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION April 27, 1992 - Meeting Minutes Page 5 Q: Commissioner Best asked if the $4,000 they requested would be basically half of what it would take to put on a concert in La Quinta. A: Correct. Or two-thirds, whatever you give us, they would raise the rest of the money. In the past, he's gone out and doubled it. A: Best also clarified that the money is for one event here in the City. A: Chairwoman Kennedy clarified that the one event would be the Children's Concert at the La Quinta Hotel, for which arrangements have been made. ( 6 ) Steve Schofield, District Executive BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA TROOP 150 Pack 320 and Pack 325 54-170 Avenida Ramirez La Quinta, CA 92253 (619) 564-5356 Grant Request: $5,000 Comments: Mr. Schofield said that lately the La Quinta Boy Scouts are facing a crises, due to unemployment with many families in this area. This prevents a lot of kids to purchase uniforms, go to summer camp and participate in other programs that they offer. Their goal, if they get the Grant money, is to send at least 30 La Quinta Boys and Cub Scouts to summer camp. Also, they need to buy 20 full uniforms for scouts whose parents who cannot afford to buy them. Another goal is to establish an Explorer Post to support the Volunteer Fire Department in La Quinta. In order to start the program, they will need some funding. Q: Commissioner Thompson asked if kids had to pay membership fees and buy uniforms all in one month, or can it be spread out to make it easier. A: It is difficult for some of the kids, with membership at $7.00 per child per year and the cost of a uniform at about $50, weekly dues (25 to 50 cents) and other programs. He added that they try to provide uniforms and summer camp costs without creating embarrassment to the family, but still enable kids to enjoy a summer camp experience who otherwise couldn't afford it. Q: Commissioner Best asked if the money requested would cover all they are seeking to do, i.e., send 30 to camp, buy 20 uniforms and pay dues for 10 kids. A: That would cover all of that and also help start the Explorer Post. Q: Commissioner Francis asked what the Explorer Post would do. A: As they do with the Police Department, the kids would take the same training as firemen do, in cooperation with the Volunteer Fire Department. They try to provide in the Explorer program the experience in certain vocations. It can help them make their choices earlier. They can then go on to college and pursue those courses. e e COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION April 27, 1992 - Meeting Minutes Page 6 Q: Francis noted the operational costs for Explorer Post is $500 and asked what it would be used on. A: Membership/Charter fees and uniforms. The uniforms are different from their regular uniforms, and in fact look just like the police or fire department uniform. Q: Francis also asked how they would choose the 30 boys they would send to summer camp. A: Committee Chairmen from each pack would choose them because they know which ones would need it. The idea is not to let other kids in the pack know that a particular kid's parents couldn't afford it. (7 ) Trice Heally ADAMS/TRUMAN P.T.A. Earthquake Preparedness Committee 54-455 Eisenhower Drive La Quinta, CA 92253 (619) 564-4164 Grant Request: $2,000 Comments: This particular committee was formed at the beginning of the school year. In the past, they have used PTA funds to purchase various supplies to provide the best earthquake plan available. All the schools in the district have this particular plan. She said she comes from the San Francisco area and takes earthquakes and preparedness very seriously. They spent $600 on garbage cans last year which they keep by the doors of classrooms. In the cans are ziplock bags with the child I s emergency information, one juice pack and a picture of their family to sooth them if they don't see them for several days. She said the principal has set aside $1,200 this year to purchase two-way communication (walkie-talkies). She said students, staff members and area residents total approximately 2872 people in the area of Adams/Truman and La Quinta Middle School. They need support for medical supplies and tools, some of which is donated. They would use the $2,000 in grant money for medical supplies. Q: Chairwoman Kennedy asked if the $5.00 charge per family per year is for this or basic P.T.A. A: That is for P.T.A. only. Q: Commissioner Benedict asked where all these items would be stored. A: Several places. They have an outdoor facility (metal shed) where they will store things that cannot be damaged by heat. Food items will be re-supplied each year. e e COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION April 27, 1992 - Meeting Minutes Page 7 Q: Commissioner Seaton asked if the $2,000 would supply all of this. A: They are requesting additional money from the PTA, hoping it will be between $500 and $1000. They will beg and borrow the rest. (8 ) Sherry Pena, Chairman FRIENDS OF THE LA QUINTA BRANCH LIBRARY 51-910 Navarro La Quinta, CA 92253 (619) 564-4184 Grant Request: $3,500 Comments: Mrs. Pena said that their Grant money from last year, ($2500) was intended for the purchase of books and a fax machine. Because of County budget cuts, the whole $2500 went to the purchase of books. She said they have had a large increase this year in the checking out of the books and circulation, which has gone from 3600 to 5400, and they will need all the books they can get. Additionally, there are increasingly more adults starting to use the library (this year 60% adults and 40% children), not that there are less children using it, in fact, there are more children using it than before. Q: Commissioner Best asked how they arrived at the figure they requested. A: Because last year they had planned to spend $2000 (of the $2500) to buy books. But, with the (County) budget cut, they ended up using the whole $2500 to buy books. Their budget is the same, if not decreased, this year and that's why they are requesting $3500, but, if they can only get $2500, that would be fine. Q: Chairwoman Kennedy noted Item 15 of their Grant application states funds will be turned over to the Riverside City & County Public Library Gift Fund and then in turn credited to the La Quinta branch, which allows them to purchase books. She asked if they would get all of that money. A: Right. The "Friends" give the money to the County's "Minor Gift Fund" for that branch, and not to the County, so all of the money goes to that branch. Money in the Minor Gift Fund cannot be co-mingled with the County. Q: Commissioner Nard asked if they had room left to shelve any more books. A: Yes. "Dead" books, ones that don't circulate any more, are taken off and new, more popular books are replaced. Q: Nard also noted that they didn't get to buy their fax machine last year. A: No. But, some of the service organizations in the area have offered to purchase that for them, and also funds left over from previous years will allow them to get a projector that they want too. e e COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION April 27, 1992 - Meeting Minutes Page 8 (9 ) Gene House, Executive Director FAMILY SERVICE OF COACHELLA VALLEY 41625 Eclectic Street, Suite M-1 Palm Desert, CA 92260 (619) 779-0533 Grant Request: $3,500 Comments: No representative present. (10) Sharon Koski 54-075 Eisenhower Drive La Quinta, CA 92253 Grant Request: $3,500 HARVEST OF WELLNESS (HOW) FOUNDATION Sexual Assault Services 45-691 Monroe Street, Suite 10 Indio, CA 92201 (619) 347-8440 Comments: Ms. Koski first pointed out that since the application was submitted that the number of survivors in the Valley and in La Quinta have gone up and continue to rise. Referencing a recent U.S.A. Today article, she noted that 1 out of 10 (rapes) are not reported and is the most under- reported and under-recognized crime. The service has been here since 1975 and have not before needed to request community grants. She said that she and two other staff members live here in La Quinta, noting that they were at a disadvantage in that they can't give exact numbers of the La Quinta residents they serve. Being a resident, or where you live, is not a requirement for the services. They have a 24-hour response hot line staffed by 70 who live across the Valley. Q: Commissioner Nard asked if the service includes going to organizations or office buildings with seminars that give people the benefit of their experience. A: Yes. That is part of their prevention work, you do not stop this kind of offense by just treating the victims and their families. They go out to any organization, community, city, county, business and do prevention programs for them. Also, once or twice a year they do educational and prevention programs for the general community. The last two years they have done that with the help of the Palm Desert Senior Center, and have done some community presentations in La Quinta through the Community Service Officer of the Sheriff's Department. This is provided free of charge. A: Chairwoman Kennedy offered that Koski does an awareness program and has gone to community service organizations, like Soroptomist, upon e e COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION April 27, 1992 - Meeting Minutes Page 9 invitation and suggestion. They explain what the Rape Crises Center does and how it can assist women. A: Koski added that she is currently scheduled to speak to the La Quinta Rotary, noting that sometimes its harder to get into the male service groups, because its hard for them to believe that this particular crime is rampant. Our numbers in the Valley and La Quinta match the national population statistics. Although we are a resort and relatively high- end community, it makes no difference when it comes to sexual assault and child abuse. A: Kennedy also passed along information from Judy Vossler-Woodard from the La Quinta Hotel that board meetings are held there. Woodard has forward of 600 female employees and expressed her support for this kind of service. A: Koski added that it is also a valuable service for the men in the Valley. Q: Commissioner Best noted on their budget they listed the grant would be used for a contract counselor two hours a week. Is this a new program? A: Yes. For group therapy, group support sessions. They would be able to pay licensed therapists for once-a-week sessions. They would be able to start two new groups, (1) Adult Rape Survivors, male and female, and (2) Adults who were molested or sexually abused as children, people who need more than just short-term counselling. Q: Best also asked if the grant request would cover the two new programs entirely. A: No. They actually need $4,000, but it would cover most of it. (11) Susan Breit DESERT COMMUNITY OUTREACH 68615 Perez Road, #5A Cathedral City, CA 92234 (P.O. Box 8274, Palm Springs 92263) (619) 324-2432 Grant Request: $3,150 Comments: No representative present. (12) Fred Rice, President LA QUINTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY P.O. Box 1263 La Quinta, CA 92253 (619) 564-4823 Grant Request: $5,250 e e COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION April 27, 1992 - Meeting Minutes Page 10 Comments: Mr. Rice said their main purpose is to preserve, record and display the history of La Quinta. They furnish information and give classes in our history to all of the La Quinta schools and the Boys and Girls Club. They talk to around 600 kids a year. They are planning to do a complete book over the next 8 years on the history, from the Cahuilla Indians to the celebrities who came here. Q: Chairwoman Kennedy asked about Addendum C "Treasurer's Report" of their Grant application, Cash Receipts Item 111, Cinemuseums - $1000. What was that? A: It was a gift from a financier specifically to buy a collection of films of the stars who came to the desert. Chairwoman Kennedy appointed a screening committee to meet on Wednesday May 6, at 6 p.m., consisting of herself, Commissioner's Thompson and Best. Results of the screening will be mailed in letter form to the rest of the Commissioners, along with information on past grant awards. VI. ANNOUNCEMENTS Chairwoman Kennedy offered congratulations to Commissioner Best for his recent appointment by Council to the PalmerCablevision Advisory Committee. VII. CORRESPONDENCE AND WRITTEN MATERIALS Chairwoman noted May's reading packet distributed with the Agenda, including information on the Rocky Mountain Fitness Center and Leisure Lines. VIII. STAFF REPORTS A. Staff report reqardinq Commission Manual Staff Liaison Clint Bohlen advised two manuals were just received, City of Rancho Cucamonga and the City of Anaheim. Bohlen asked if Commission wanted him to pursue other manuals to compare or if they would like to work from these. Commissioner Thompson suggested they first work with these manuals, and can request more if they feel something lacking. Chairwoman Kennedy concurred and suggested they discuss it further at the next meeting. e e COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION April 27, 1992 - Meeting Minutes Page 11 B. Bear Creek Channel Trail Stop Update Clint Bohlen updated Commissioners on discussions from the last CSC meeting regarding the possibility of the trail stop project in conjunction with the "culling" of streets along Tampico. Bohlen said there are some concerns about security at the park site if those streets are culled, it would prevent police from getting right to the park area. The option of creating another park site along that strip with a wide greenbelt from Eisenhower, up Tampico, to the site has been discussed. Council wanted to let the Commission know they are taking the culling of the streets concept under advisement and will study it more and discuss on a further agenda. In response to an inquiry from Chairwoman Kennedy, Bohlen said there is currently no activity on the rest stop at the top, but he will be getting started on that project shortly. Chairwoman Kennedy said she spoke to Ray Lopez (architect) the other day about different bench styles (for rest stops). He had mentioned iron-work benches, but she had just visited the Living Desert Reserve and suggested "rock" benches like the ones there. She said they are attractive, blend with the environment, are smooth and comfortable and probably do not get hot. Don Early, a concerned citizen, asked if there will be a provision to hike the trails up behind the top of the Cove and an area to park close to it, noting all of the no-trespassing signs. Kennedy said yes, and there was a request from an equestrian group as well. Early also asked about the survey results, to which Kennedy replied they will be tabulated in the next two weeks and will be used in creating the Parks and Recreation plan. IX. COMMISSION BUSINESS A. General 1. Review and Recommendation regarding Ordinance Creating Community Services Commission. Chairwoman Kennedy noted a conflict in the existing 1987 Ordinance to determine when the Commission appoints a new Chairperson and Vice Chairperson. The term of a Chairperson expires in June, but a new Chairperson is not appointed until September. A revision of this will need to be incorporated into the new Ordinance. Kennedy also noted two other items for discussion/revision: (1) the current Ordinance states the Commission will meet once a month and there will need to - e e COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION April 27, 1992 - Meeting Minutes Page 12 be further discussion of a twice-a-month basis, and (2) the Ordinance states the Commission will meet with no compensation, but they are currently receiving $25.00 per meeting. Commissioner Nard also noted that she will need to be re-appointed to the Cultural and Fine Arts Committee for a two-year term by June. Chairman Best commented that he did not feel the Ordinance needed revised further, just that we (the Commission) need to live up to it more. Chairwoman Kennedy directed this item be placed on the next agenda. B. Culture and Fine Arts Commissioner Nard provided an Art in Public Places update, including a slide presentation of "public art" used in other communi ties at a March 31st Breakfast Forum, the Mission Statement approved by City Council, the possibility of new sculpture designs from TDC, and the selection of 6 artists to submit proposals for Civic Center art. C. Parks and Recreation 1. Parks and Recreation Master Plan Survey Update and Related Issues Clint Bohlen gave an update on the status of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan Survey, noting that a firm has been selected to tabulate the approximately 950 surveys received. Staff plans to have final results by the next regular meeting. 2. Parks and Recreation Element Update of the General Plan Fred Baker, Principal Planner with the Planning Department explained the nature and process of the General Plan to Commissioners and the Parks and Recreation Element of the plan. Baker's key points were: a. What the General Plan is. (1) Its nature is the physical development of the City, a constitution for development. (2) It provides a nexus to support developers action, e.g., why we ask developers for parkland or a fee, it sets the legal framework to be able to require fees, etc. (3) The General Plan is comprehensive, covers the whole City, addresses physical, economic and social concerns of the City, it is geographic and deals with regional issues and adjacent communities as the Council sees fit to do. e e COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION April 27, 1992 - Meeting Minutes Page 13 b. Seven required elements of the General Plan, of equal value. (1) Land Use (2) Circulation (3) Open Space (4) Housing (5) Safety (6) Noise (7) Conservation Baker said the General Plan needs to be consistent with itself in each element and any implementing ordinances and policies, like a Parks Master Plan. It establishes a long term policy for day-to-day decision making, projecting goals, conditions and needs for 10-20 years into the future. It is also a statement of development policies that guides the Planning Commission and the Council in making decisions. Planners have been working over the last year with Council, Planning Commission and other interested groups to update and reformat the Plan. Are looking now at 9 elements, to include parks and recreation as part of the "open space", a water conservation and air quality element. Clint Bohlen pointed out that current projections show La Quinta will have 970 acres of parkland when it is fully built-out, including the 845 acre Lake Cahuilla, leaving 125 acres for development. Commissioner's were reminded that two joint-sessions will be held with the City Council and Planning Commission for the General Plan, one on May 20th and the other June 10th. Bohlen suggested a representative from the CSC attend so that they can update the Commission on the progress. Chairwoman Kennedy volunteered the three Commissioners on the Parks and Recreation Committee, including herself, Commissioner's Best and Seaton. 2. Parade/Day in the Park Update Commissioner Nard said the parade is coming along well with approximately 40 entries. Clint and parade committee are working evenings to get it all under way, and she felt it is really organized. Clint Bohlen added that Dana Beard will emcee the parade and Ed Kibbey will emcee the Day in the Park. Day in the Park is being coordinated by Convention Services and will have a lot of great, family oriented activities. 3. Parks tour date and time Chairwoman Kennedy finalized plans for Commissioners to take a tour of La Quinta parks and park sites, on Monday, May 18th at 6 pm, noting the tour will take about 2 hours, and the route would be probably from the Cove mini- park up to the top, follow Bear Creek Channel down, out to the Sports Complex, Westward Ho park, Lake Cahuilla and back to City offices. e COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION April 27, 1992 - Meeting Minutes Page 14 D.
