"The catalyst behind the entire
feeling of peace in the area
comes from the planting of the
Peace Pole. When people focus
on what they have in common,
instead of their differences, the
results are quite amazing." John
Maxey
"We believe the wood is the
spirit of the Peace Pole, and the
languages represent our physical
differences. We are no longer
focused on our differences. We
are focused on what bonds us
together, and what bonds us
together is our spirit." -Melvin
Giles
"In 1996, a four year old girl,
was killed in a random act of
violence outside a building that
divides our two neigborhoods. Her
death was the catalyst to do
something. The Peace Poles
have become a vehicle to unite
"Anyone can erect a Peace
Pole if one wishes to promote
peace. You need not belong to
any particular faith or school of
thought and you can dedicate a
peace pole as an individual,
family, group of friends or
community." -Gloria Lubon
Rayberg

Description of Peace Pole Finishes
Natural Plant Resin Oil gives our peace poles
a beautiful warm -looking and durable finish as
well as being environmentally safe. The product
penetrates the wood's surface to strengthen and
seal against moisture -staining and weathering. If
desired, the finish may be easilly maintained and
enhanced with a periodic treatment of oil -resin,
otherwise the finish should weather beautifully.
There are now three shades available, 'Clear',
'Up North', and'Original'.
Gloss White peace poles have a minimum of
four coats hand -applied high quality industrial
exterior gloss alkyd white enamel paint. Weather
durability is excellent (3 to 8 years) depending on
environmental conditions before painting is
necessary.
Message Plaques and Stands
Message plaques for peace poles are made of
Plexiglas. The Plexiglas plaques are 3/16" thick
and are beveled on all edges. The black lettering
and white background on the underside of the
clar plaque is well protected from weather and
scratching. Four-sided poles may have four or
eight message plaques. Hexagon poles may have
six or twelve message plaques.
Peace Poles stand approximately eight feet
tall and are either four or six sided. We
reccomend planting them about 12 to 16 inches
into the ground. Planting directions will be
included. A sturdy steel peace pole stand is
available for indoor display.
A Word About the Use of Our Wood
We at Peace Pale Makers are concerned
about the health and care of our environment, In
researching viable materials for peace pole
making, we found wood to be a renewable
resource which would be least harmful to the
environment. Our choice of material is the
western red cedar which has a natural resistance
to decay and insect attack. It is also unlikely to
warp, split, crack, cup or check with age or
exposure to the weather. We urge you to care for
your peace pole appropriately.
If is our hope and trust that the peace poles
we distribute will be respected and cared for, that
their purpose in promoting the message, May
Peace Prevail on Earth, will be worthy of their use
of a precious resource. Please feel free to contact
us if you have any further questions.

City Council Minutes 17 December 18, 2001
In response to Mayor Pena, Community Development Director Herman advised
the traffic analysis generated for the environmental document is based on the
ITE Manual for Park Facilities.
In response to Mayor Pena, Ms. Horvitz advised Adams Street will be increased
to two lanes in each direction and Westward Ho Drive improved as a two-lane
facility with a center turn lane.
Council Member Henderson noted a traffic signal is also planned at Adams
Street and Westward Ho Drive.
Mr. Herman advised Westward Ho Drive is currently 60 feet wide.
In response to Mayor Pena, Colleen Marcum, of Musco Sports Lighting, Inc.,
stated generally facilities with 1,000+ seating are considered to have stadium
lighting.
In response to Mayor Pena, Ms. Horvitz advised the heights of the light poles
are 40 feet at the basketball courts, 50 feet at the skate park, 60 feet at the
baseball fields, and 70 and 80 feet at the soccer fields. She confirmed the
condition added by the Planning Commission states the three most northern
fields (70 and 80-foot poles) will not have lights on during the weekend,
excluding Friday evenings.
Council Member Henderson suggested use of the PA system, which is not
mounted on the light poles, be regulated instead of eliminated completely. She
noted the Sports Complex PA system is used twice a year.
In response to Council Member Sniff, Ms. Marcum confirmed each section of
the lighting system can be controlled separately and dimmed to 40% capacity
during practice.
Ms. Horvitz confirmed three-foot high bollard light fixtures will be used in the
park for security lighting.
In response to Council Member Henderson, Ms. Marcum confirmed Musco
Lighting has submitted lighting recommendations for the ballfield at Francis
Hack Park and is in the process of redirecting some of the football stadium light
fixtures for La Quinta High School.
City Council Minutes 18 December 18, 2001
Council Member Perkins noted the goal of Council is to balance the needs of the
community, including the youth. He felt some of the lighting concerns have
been addressed and stated he supports the revised park plan with additiona
parking spaces.
Council Member Henderson noted the City must deal with park issues on ar,
ongoing basis and has recommended the Community Services Commissior
dedicate one meeting each year to address park policies. She felt the traffic
problem is more of a "driver" problem and that the lighting concerns will have
to be dealt with by policy after they are installed. She sympathized with the
residents but felt the lights are needed and stated she supports the desigr
approved in February. She suggested expanding the restrooms to accommodate
one additional stall in each restroom.
Council Member Adolph commented on the difficulty of making a decision that
can't please everyone. He referenced the number of changes the park plans
have gone through but noted it has been determined that more sport fields are
needed for the youth. He noted the cost of land makes it prohibitive to move
the fields to a commercial site and stated he felt it would help not having soccer
games on Friday nights when high school football is playing. He has talked tc
realtors about the effect the park will have on property values and was told a
minimum of 50% of buyers would not want to live next to a park and that
property values would drop $5,000 to $10,000, depending on the cost of the
home. He was also told that it would most likely not make a difference being
a sports park. He objects to heights that destroy views and noted the Counci
has reduced heights, and in some cases denied projects, where views would
have been impacted. He was torn between the concerns of the residents and
the need for more sport fields but stated he would support the park as
proposed.
Council Member Sniff stated he believes the Council must deal with current
realities and that the sport fields are needed. He voiced concern about the
affect the park will have on the residents' lifestyles and stated he is not happy
with 80-foot high light poles but feels the lighting is essential. He supportec
the park design without the latest revisions and agreed the restrooms should bE
expanded. He also supported limiting use of the lights to 9:00 p.m. anc
eliminating the loud speakers.
Mayor Pena thanked the audience for their input and staff for their work on thiE
project. He commented on the impacts to the Larson family and stated maybE
the City can look at a use for their property. He agreed the lights should bE
turned off by 9:00 p.m. and noted park uses change as the community
changes. He expressed regret for the misinformation distributed on some of the

City Council Minutes 19 December 18, 2001
issues, such as lighting and speakers, and stated he felt some of the issues wil,
need to be revisited as they arise. He also noted the park is "open space" and
not just a soccer park. He supported the park plan without the revisions and
stated he hopes the use of parks will continue to be visited. He agreed with
having no loud speakers and with expansion of the restroom facility.
MOTION - It was moved by Council Member Perkins to direct staff to complete
the revised park design and bring it back to Council and consider a closing time
of 9:00 p.m. Motion failed for lack of a second.
