IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS
PC-1-27-98
Planning Commission Meeting
January 27, 1998
A. Specific Plan 85-006 and Conditional Use Permit 97-037; a request of KSL Land
Holdings, Inc. for approval and recommendation to the City Council of an
Amendment to the Oak Tree West Specific Plan and Conditional Use Permit to allow
interim polo/sports fields/hot air balloon activities and 6,000 square foot lots within
a minimum of 55-feet, at the northwest corner of Jefferson Street and 54' Avenue
within the Oak Tree West Specific Plan area.
1. Chairman Butler informed those in attendance that the Conditional Use
Permit application for the polo fields had been withdraw by the applicant. He
then opened the public hearing, and asked for the staff report on the Specific
Plan Amendment. Principal Planner Stan Sawa presented the information
contained in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Community
Development Department.
2. Chairman Butler asked if there were any questions of staff.
3. Commissioner Woodard asked staff to clarify that the amendment did not
allow any additional lots, just different size lots. Staff stated this was correct.
Commissioner Woodard asked if the original lots proposed for the Citrus
were to be custom lots, or an attached product. Staff stated originally they
were to be duplexes. Commissioner Woodard asked how this arrangement
would create more open space with narrower lots and less lot coverage. Staff
explained the smaller lots would create more open space that could be used
as common area, recreation area, etc., but the applicant had not identified
how it would be used.
4. Chairman Butler asked if the applicant would like to address the
Commission. Mr. Chevis Hosea, representing KSL, explained the project.
5. Commissioner Tyler asked if the site plan showed the new 55-foot lot layout
and if the improvements that were in place were for the duplexes that were
originally planned for this area. Mr. Hosea explained they were trying to
change this development to a single family detached neighborhood and
salvage the current improvements and build their "Ryder" homes.
6. Commissioner Woodard asked Mr. Hosea what the plans were for the open
space. Mr. Hosea stated it was currently under a market research to see what
the builder and homeowners would want. At this time, no determination had
been made.
PC- I -27-98 2
Planning Commission Meeting
January 27, 1998
7. Commissioner Woodard asked if the homeowners who were buying their
homes were aware this area was to have attached units. Mr. Hosea stated that
the community plan identified these lots as "Cayman" lots which are airspace
condominiums.
8. Mr. Michael L. Walker, 55-940 PGA Boulevard, General Manager of the
Homeowners' Association for PGA West Residential Association of which
there are 1,300 homes, and is located to the south of this development, stated
he had no problem with the proposed project. He wanted clarification as to
the correct wording of the resolution that the conditional use permit for the
polo fields had been deleted. Staff gave him the revised resolution.
9. There being no further public comment, the public comment portion of the
hearing was closed and open for Commission discussion.
10. Commissioner Woodard noted that he had spoken with the City Attorney
regarding the land purchase he was involved in with KSL. As a member of
a limited partnership in this proposal, he feels comfortable voting on any
issue relative to KSL, or PGA West, where he lives. It is important that the
public be made aware of this fact.
11. There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by
Commissioners Tyler/Abels to adopt Planning Commission Resolution 98-
005, recommending to the City Council approval of Specific Plan
Amendment 85-006, subject to the Conditions of Approval as modified:
ROLL CALL: AYES: Commissioners Abels, Kirk, Seaton, Tyler, Woodard, and

widths from the General Plan required 36-feet to 28- and 32-feet at the northwest
corner of Jefferson Street and 48"' Avenue. The project is affordable from very low
through moderate income levels.
1. Chairman Butler informed the Commission that the applicant had requested
a continuance of this application to February 27, 1998. Community
Development Director Jerry Herman informed the Commission that
correspondence had been received from the City of Indio prior to the meeting
and would be included in their Agenda packet for February 27, 1998.
2. It was moved and seconded by Commissioners Abels/Seaton to continue the
project to the Planning Commission meeting of February 27, 1998.
Unanimously approved.
Commissioner Gardner joined the meeting.
V. BUSINESS ITEMS
A. Sign Application 97-410; a request of Wells Fargo Bank (Quality Project
Coordinating) for approval of a modified sign to the approved sign program for a
bank mini -branch located in the Albertson's Supermarket.
Principal Planner Stan Sawa presented the information contained in the staff
report, a copy of which is on file in the Community Development
Department.
2. Chairman Butler asked if there were any questions of staff. Commissioner
Tyler asked if there had been any changes to the allowable sizes within this
development. Staff stated no.
3. Commissioner Kirk asked if there had been any changes to the Zoning Code
that would affect this proposal. Planning Manager Christine di Iorio stated
that the Zoning Code had not changed, but the Commission had just reviewed
and approved a request of the Automobile Club for a sign that included
channel letters. Commissioner Kirk noted that was under different
circumstances.
4. Chairman Butler asked if the applicant wished to address the Commission.
Mr. Warren Degree, representing Wells Fargo, apologized to the Commission
for taking their time and went on to give a presentation and explanation on
the project. He informed the Commission that since the purchase of First
PC-1-27-98 4
Planning Commission Meeting
January 27, 1998
Interstate Bank by Wells Fargo, a new corporate logo had been designed.
They had applied for Federal protection with trademark rights of which he
had a copy of the application with him. They do understand the City's
position regarding channel letters; they are however, hoping to reach a
compromise. The red and black colors are important to Wells Fargo as well
as the stagecoach, as it is their new trademark color and corporate identity.
However, as all the only other signs in the Center are channel letters, he
submitted an alternative design. He proposed using the same size sign as the
cabinet, but in -lieu of being a cabinet -style sign with a flat plastic face, that
they be allowed to have a 9-inch individual channel letter with a four and a
half return and a non -illuminated two inch aluminum red and black
background to hide the wires from sight, with an individual logo attached.
He then showed photos of what he was proposing. This would give the
channel letter look and allow them to use their trademark colors and logo.
Discussion followed regarding the new proposal.
5. Commissioner Woodard asked staff to clarify their objection. Planning
Manager Christine di Iorio stated staff would be looking for a sign the same
size as originally approved by the Commission and compatible with the signs
in the Center. In regard to the proposal that Mr. Degree just submitted, staff
had not had an opportunity to analyze what he was proposing. Commissioner
Woodard asked if it was staffs opinion that the size of the sign was
inappropriate to the rest of the tenants in the Center. Staff asked if
Commissioner Woodard was referring to the original proposal or the one that
was submitted at this meeting. Commissioner Woodard asked about the
original proposal. Staff stated the proposal that was analyzed was the one
previously denied by the Planning Commission due to it being a canister sign
that was not compatible with the remainder of the Center. Staff s
recommendation is to uphold the previous decision. Commissioner Woodard
noted that the revised plan was within the size requirements. Discussion
followed. Commissioner Woodard asked if staff had any objection to the
new proposal, or would they prefer to have it referred back to staff. Staff
stated they would like to review the proposal before making a
recommendation to the Commission.
6. Commissioner Abels suggested that due to the changes and the lack of staff s
time to review the proposal, this item be continued.
7. Commissioner Tyler asked what the proposed letter size was compared to
what is currently on the building. Mr. Degree stated the letters in this format,
would stay within the existing square footage, would be a nine inch letter.
Currently on the building is a one and a half foot by 18 inch channel letter
sign. The new proposal would include a smaller letter.
PC-1-27-98 5
Planning Commission Meeting
January 27, 1998
Commissioner Woodard asked if the applicant had any objection to a
continuance. Mr. Degree stated it was not his intent to put the Commission
into any type of situation and bypass staff. It was his understanding that he
had traveled a great distance to present a proposal that was ultimately going
to be denied. Therefore, he had already wasted a trip as he did not have
access to a staff report prior to arriving. His only option was to offer the
Commission an alternative. Wells Fargo has no objection to reprocessing
this new submittal through staff. His only concern is whether or not the
Commission would be open to this type of design, or is the design going to
be denied no matter what. If that is the case, it is not worth their time to work
on a solution and then take up the Commission's time once again.
9. Chairman Butler stated it was his understanding that staff wanted time to
review the proposal in contrast to the previous submittal. Mr. Degree stated
it could be considered a raceway as all it does is house the wiring, but it gives
them the effect of the colors. Chairman Butler stated the only issue was the
addition of the logo, as they were not increasing the size of the sign. Staff
noted they were changing the design which was the issue.
10. Community Development Director Jerry Herman asked the applicant if the
owner of the Center had reviewed and approved this proposal. Mr. Degree
stated that as of this meeting, they had not. Staff asked if the owner had the
right to review and approve the signs. Mr. Degree stated they do have the
right. Staff noted that this needed to be done prior to staff s approval. Mr.
Degree stated the owner had reviewed and approved the initial sign proposal
that was denied by the City.
11. There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by
Commissioners Tyler/Seaton to continue this item to the Planning
Commission meeting of February 10, 1998.
12. Commissioner Woodard stated he would like to find a way to approve the
new proposal at this meeting.
13. Following discussion, the motion was unanimously approved.
B. Street Vacation 97-036; a request of Carmen Kelly, Shirley and Joseph Carpini for
a determination of a General Plan consistency finding for portions of Calle Sinaloa
and Avenida Morales at Avenida Montezuma.
PC-1-27-98 6
Planning Commission Meeting
January 27, 1998
Senior Engineer Steve Speer presented the information contained in the staff
report, a copy of which is on file in the Community Development
Department.
2. Chairman Butler asked if there were any questions of staff.
3. Commissioner Gardner asked staff what would happen to the property; would
it go back to the original property owners? Staff stated the land was
subdivided in the 1940's and the land owner at the time, who did the
subdividing, dedicated the land and the City has a right of way easement on
the adjacent property owners land, or Lot 24. The vacation means the City
is vacating their easement rights to the land. The underlying ownership rights
belong to the adjacent land owner.
4. Commissioner Gardner asked if this piece of property would now be placed
on the tax rolls and if someone will now pay taxes on this property. Staff
stated it does increase the size of their property and would be considered a
part of their property, therefore they would be responsible for the taxes.
5. Commissioner Tyler noted that staff had requested input from a number of
sources and asked if any requests had been received. Staff explained the
process for a street vacation and stated that the information would not be
received until it was heard before the City Council as a public hearing.
6. Commissioner Woodard asked if the City would pay for new curbs and
gutters after the street vacation was completed. Staff stated the new street
improvements had been installed. Commissioner Woodard asked what
would happen to the small triangular space on the south. Staff stated the
property owner of Lot 23 could make a request to the City for the land. It is
the City's intent to clean up all these street vacations City-wide rather than
have the homeowners do it at their expense. Unfortunately, considering the
work load that staff currently has, it is not high on the priority list. Lot 23
will probably gain the extra piece of land. Commissioners and staff
discussed why this would not be processed at the same time.
7. Commissioner Kirk asked how much it costs the applicant to go through the
process. Staff stated it is $400 plus the cost of producing the necessary
documents which could be $7-800. Commissioner Kirk asked how many
parcels of this type still exist. Staff stated about 20 or 30.
PC-1-27-98 7
Planning Commission Meeting
January 27, 1998
8. There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by
Commissioners Kirk/Abels to adopt Minute Motion 98-001 finding
consistency with the General Plan for Street Vacation 97-036. Unanimously
approved.
C. Street Vacation 97-037; a request of W. M. Doran for a determination of a General
Plan consistency finding for portions of Avenida Obregon at Avenida Montezuma.
1. Senior Engineer Steve Speer presented the information contained in the staff
report, a copy of which is on file in the Community Development
Department.
2. Chairman Butler asked if there were any questions of staff.
3. Commissioner Gardner asked if Mr. Doran would acquire the property once
vacated by the City. Staff stated he would with the exception of a 20-foot
easement across the property that would be retained for the gas company.
Commissioner Gardner asked what that would do to the use of the property.
Staff stated it would preclude any digging or building over the top with any
type of structure. Commissioner Gardner asked about driving over the
easement. Staff stated they would be able to use it for a driveway access.
4. Commissioner Tyler asked what the size of the vacated area would be. Staff
stated the information was not available, but it would be approximately 50-
feet wide and probably 60-feet long at the longest point, so approximately
2,000 square feet.
5. Commissioner Woodard asked who initiated this request. Staff stated the
adjacent land owner, Mr. Doran, initiated this request.
6. There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by
Commissioners Abels/Tyler to adopt Minute Motion 98-002 finding
consistency with the General Plan for Street Vacation 97-037. Unanimously
approved.
D. General Plan Consistency Finding for CVWD Projects; a request of CVWD for a
determination of General Plan consistency for CVWD projects at the southeast corner
of Calle Tampico and Calle Rondo and the east end of Star Flower Court, east of
Blazing Star Trail.
1. Principal Planner Stan Sawa presented the information contained in the staff
report, a copy of which is on file in the Community Development
Department.
PC-1-27-98 8
Planning Commission Meeting
January 27, 1998
2. Chairman Butler asked if there were any questions of staff.
3. Commissioner Seaton asked if notices were mailed to the neighboring
homeowners. Staff stated they had not as it was not required for a General
Plan consistency finding.
4. Commissioner Woodard stated the letter from CVWD regarding Well 6704
talks about structures and other amenities and his concern was what it would
look like. He asked if staff would be reviewing these amenities. Staff stated
the walls are already existing. CVWD was working with the homeowners'
association regarding improvements and staff does review the plans regarding
the landscaping and meeting of setbacks. Staff explained the Commission
first approves the well site and at a later date CVWD would submit the site
development plans.
5. Chairman Butler asked if the applicant wished to address the Commission.
Mr. Todd Jorganson, representing CVWD, stated there were two sites and
gave a description of the projects.
6. Chairman Butler stated the existing well site on Adams Street has no
landscaping, which raises the question of why there is a need for two well
sites so close together. Mr. Jorgansen stated that some of the well sites are
going out of service and they will be replacing them. CVWD will be
coordinating the pumping of those that are in close proximity to each other
to be sure they do not work against each other.
7. Commissioner Abels asked what was meant by "out of service". Mr.
Jorgensen stated they place their well sites in the best place possible to not
pick up any of the water sanitation problems that can occur over time.
8. Commissioner Tyler stated his concern about the well site planned for Calle
Rondo and Calle Tampico due to its low location for drainage in the City and
the collection point for nuisance water; could this be a problem? Mr.
Jorgenson stated that when they make agreements with developers, the
developer will take their water to onsite facilities. In this case they were
redirecting their water into this channel at Calle Rondo and Calle Tampico.
CVWD met with City staff and the developer, CPH, and CPH has stated they
would have an engineer look into this.
9. Commissioner Tyler asked if the gates would be opaque to hide what is
behind them. Mr. Jorganson stated they would hide the interior contents.

Planning Commission Meeting
January 27, 1998
10. Commissioner Woodard asked if the Commission would review any plans on
the structures or landscaping. Staff stated no.
11. Commissioner Seaton asked about the noise mitigation. Mr. Jorganson stated
it is their goal to mitigate the noise as much as possible.
12. Commissioner Kirk suggested that a letter be sent to Mr. Levy at CVWD
asking that he give a presentation on the City's water supply. Staff was
directed to draft a letter.
13. Mrs. Barbara Irwin, 44-065 Camino La Cresta, stated she was surprised to
read the City's policy on well sites and stated her concern about the well site
on Adams Street, south of the Adams Street Park. This area has been under
development for over eight years and she has never noted any signs of
improvement on this well site in all that time. If the City is not policing the
well sites we have now, what will happen to those proposed for the future.
14. Commissioner Tyler asked what prerogatives the City has on this type of
eyesore in the community. Staff stated they would research the issue and
report back to the Commission.
15. There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by
Commissioners Abels/Gardner to adopt Minute Motion 98-003 finding
consistency with the General Plan for the proposed CVWD projects.
16. Commissioner Woodard stated he was concerned that this was being
approved without any design or landscaping requirements.
17. Unanimously approved.
VII CORRESPONDENCE AND WRITTEN MATERIAL:
VII. COMMISSIONER ITEMS
A. Discussion relative to scheduling a date for a tour of the hillside.
1. Following discussion, Community Development Director Jerry Herman
stated the tour would be scheduled for Tuesday, February 1 Oth at 2:30 p.m.
Staff would make the arrangements.
B. Commissioner Gardner asked if staff was aware of a fence that had been constructed
at Avenida Juarez and Avenida Montezuma made out of oriented strandboard. It is
obviously a violation to the City's Code requirements. Staff stated they would
inform the Code Enforcement Division.
PC-1-27-98 10
Planning Commission Meeting
January 27, 1998
C. Commissioner Abels stated his concern about the visibility of the restrooms within
the Pizza Hut restaurant at the Vons Shopping Center. It was his opinion that a
partition should be placed in front of the Pizza Hut restrooms to block their view
from outside the restaurant.
D. Commissioner Gardner stated his concern, which stemmed from the lack of adequate
restroom fixtures at the proposed recreation facility at The Quarry. What bothers him
most is the statement that, "it meets the Code". It was his opinion the Code is the
minimum and if the Commission determines it is inadequate, they should require
additional fixtures.
E. Commissioner Tyler gave a report of the City Council meeting of January 20, 1998.
F. Commissioners Gardner and Tyler gave a report on the Planning Commissioner's
Forum in Rancho Cucamonga which they attended.
G. Commissioner Woodard spoke regarding the Bella Vista project. His concern is that
each of the Commissioners go out and visit the site. The entrance is pathetic, the
signage is very cheap looking, the lack of landscaping, and finally the distance
between the perimeter wall to the first house. The rear yards are ten feet wide which
puts the house right on the streets. The entrance is a glaring example of what should
not be allowed in La Quinta.
VIII. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, it was moved and seconded by Commissioners Abels/Gardner to
adjourn this meeting of the Planning Commission to a regular meeting on February 10, 1998, at 2:30
P.M. This meeting of the Planning Commission was adjourned at 8:35 P.M. Unanimously
approved.

PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
DATE: February 10, continued from January 13, 1998
CASE NO.: Sign Application 97-410
APPLICANT: Wells Fargo Bank (Quality Project Coordinating)
PROPERTY OWNER: Albertsons Supermarket
REQUEST: Approval of a modified sign to an approved sign program
for a bank mini -branch located in Albertson's Supermarket.
LOCATION: 78-630 Highway 111 in the 111 La Quinta Shopping Center
ENVIRONMENTAL
CONSIDERATION: The La Quinta Community Development Department has
determined this sign application is categorically exempt
pursuant to Section 15311, Class 11, of the guidelines for
implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act.
GENERAL PLAN
DESIGNATION: M/RC (Mixed Regional Commercial)
ZONING: CR (Regional Commercial)
PREVIOUS PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW:
The Planning Commission reviewed this request to replace an existing sign at its
meeting of January 13, 1998. At the meeting, Mr. Degree, representative for the
applicant, presented an alternative design to the proposed internally illuminated can
sign. In order to allow staff to review the new sign, the request was continued to this
meeting.
NEW PROPOSAL:
The applicant is now proposing a sign which reflects the corporate appearance but is
not entirely internally illuminated (attachment 1). The sign would consist of a raised
(1 -'/2 "), non -illuminated background with internally illuminated, raised copy. The sign
including background would be 2'-7 19/32" high by 16'-2 25/32" long or 41.7 square
feet. The proposed sign would read "Wells Fargo" with their "stagecoach" logo on the
right side. Three -fourth of the sign face background on the left would be red, with the
balance black.
cApc rpt sa 97-410 (org)
"Wells Fargo" is individual nine inch high, internally illuminated channel letters mounted
to the red background. The 4 1/2 "thick letters would have a gold plex face with black
trim cap and returns. The white stage coach logo on the right side of the sign would
also be 4 '/2" thick and will be routed out of an aluminum can, which is painted to
match the red and black background. The gold illuminated line beneath the stage
coach is a part of the same can. The appearance of the sign during the daylight hours
would that of their corporate logo, while at night the stage coach, line, and "Wells
Fargo" would illuminate.
BACKGROUND:
Wells Fargo Bank has a mini -branch (28'-2" by 14') in the Albertson's Supermarket in
the 111 La Quinta Shopping Center. Presently, there is a 27 square foot (1'-6" by
18') internally illuminated channel letter sign reading Wells Fargo on the exterior of
Albertsons that was approved by the Planning Commission on March 25, 1997. At
that time, Wells Fargo Bank was denied their requested can sign reading "Wells Fargo"
with their stagecoach logo. The existing sign was determined by the Planning
Commission to be the acceptable sign (Attachment 2).
PREVIOUS SIGN REQUEST:
The previously proposed sign for this request was an internally illuminated can sign
2'3" high by 13' 10 1 /2" long and 12" deep (31.2 square feet ) in the same location
as the existing sign. This sign was the same as their original request in March, 1997.
The proposed sign from the front view had the same design, colors and text as that
now proposed.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES.
Issue 1 - Consistency
The previous Planning Commission approval in March, 1997, permitted individual
channel letters, 1'6" feet in height and 21 feet in length (31.5 square feet) with no
logo. In order to maintain proper letter proportion, the sign that was installed is 1 '-6"
feet in height and 18 feet in length (27 square feet). The newly proposed sign is 2'-7
19/32" high and 16'-2 25/32" long (41.7 square feet).
As we previously noted in March, 1997, no cabinet or cabinet appearing signs have
been approved for in -line minor tenants. For in -line minor tenants, such as Wells
Fargo, block style individual illuminated channel letters with an optional logo is
permitted under the sign program. Letter height allowed is 24", with the length
allowed to be a maximum of 75% of the leasehold width, with a maximum 50 square
feet of sign area. Under this formula, Wells Fargo is permitted 42 square feet of sign.
c:\pc rpt sa 97-410 (org)
National or regional tenants are permitted to use corporate or their standard signs with
approval. To date, several tenants have done this. However, none have been
allowed to use cabinet signs or signs which look like cabinets. The channel letter sign
as it exists should be maintained for design continuity.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Minute Motion 98-_, denying the requested modification.

Plannme Commission Meetine
%l arcn 25. 1997
Chairman Abels asked if there were any questions of staff.
Commissioner Woodard asked if the other signs in the area were individually
mounted letters. Principal Planner Stan Sawa stated staff was requiring
individual letters for compatibility with the remainder of the shopping center.
4. Commissioner Woodard asked staff to clarify Attachment 1. Staff stated it
was the floor plan for the mini -branch.
5. Commissioner Butler asked if the individual letters were used, would they
still be able to use the stagecoach logo. Staff suggested that be answered by
the applicant.
6. Commissioner Gardner stated that Von's Shopping Center has the Wells
Fargo mini -branch without any signs. Why is a sign needed here? Staff
stated it is up to the Commission to determine the need for a sign. The mini -
branch located within the Von's store is small with an ATM machine on -site.
This site is planned to be a manned site with an office and counter.
7. Commissioner Tyler asked if this was taking the place of the branch office
located at Washington Street and Fred Waring Drive which is closing.
8. Mr. George Hellerich, sign company representing Wells Fargo, stated their
problem with the staff s recommendation. If they go with 8-inch letters the
sign would be 18' feet long and staff s recommendation is to keep the 13-foot
length. The City's 75% Rule would allow 21 linear feet. If they are allowed
the 21-feet, they could go with 18-inch letters. They do not use the
stagecoach with the individual letters. If they use 15-inch letters the sign
would be 15 feet.
9. Commissioner Woodard asked the height of the Albertson's sign. Staff
stated they were four to five feet high. If the applicant was willing to have
letters as small as on the cabinet sign, they could leave the letter size the same
as shown, and make then individually illuminated letters. Discussion
followed regarding the sign size.
10. Commissioner Woodard stated he would prefer the 15-inch individual letters.
11. Commissioners Tyler and Newkirk stated they would prefer the 18-inch
letters.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Department Directors
Weiss Assistant City }�'l(,�
FROM: Mark Y Manager
DATE: January 21, 1998
RE: City Council Consideration of Boards and Commissions'
Structure and Operations
The City Council discussed the organizational structure relating to the City's Boards
and Commissions during a Study Session at its regular meeting of January 20,
1998. Pursuant to that discussion, the Council directed staff to prepare options for
the Council to consider that, if adopted, would alter existing Commissions'
responsibilities, duties and organizational structure. Specifically, the Council will
consider the following:
• Combining the duties of the Cultural, Parks and Recreation, and Human
Services Commissions into one new nine member commission (i.e., a
Community Services Commission). The Commission would be comprised of
three, three member "committees" that would focus, respectively, on duties
currently the responsibility of the aforementioned Commissions (an alternative
option discussed included combining the duties of the Cultural and Arts in
Public Places Commissions).
• Reducing board membership, by attrition, from seven members to five, on the
Investment Advisory Board and the Arts in Public Places Commission.
The Council has asked that the City's Boards and Commissions be advised of the
Council's intent to consider the referenced amendments. The Council is tentatively
scheduled to consider this matter at its regular meeting of February 17, 1998 and
welcomes comments or suggestions from the Boards, Commissions and public.
Please advise Board and Commission Members of this consideration at the earliest
opportunity. Questions may be referred to myself or Britt Wilson at 777-7035.
Thank you. .

STUDY SESSION
1. DISCUSSION OF BOARDS/COMMISSIONS.
Mr. Weiss, Assistant City Manager, advised that the reports and minutes of
Council's previous discussions on this issue are contained in the staff report and
that Attachment No. 3 summarizes some of the changes that were made in
1996.
r
City Council Minutes 15 January 20, 1998
Mayor Pena felt that Council wishes to have well -functioning commissions with
sufficient work to accomplish and to attract willing participants from the
community. He felt that we have some Directors staffing commissions in which
there seems to be no real flow and he believed Council should consider
combining some of them.
Council Member Sniff submitted the following suggestions: 1) reduce the
Planning Commission from seven to five members; 2) maintain the Building
Appeals Board and Traffic Committee as is; 3) maintain the Art in Public Places
Commission as is because it has a special task; 4) maintain the Historic
Preservation Commission because it's mandated by the State; 5) reduce the
Investment Advisory Board from seven to five members; and 6) combine the
Youth Advisory Committee, Volunteer Advisory Committee, and Kidsline with
a new commission made up of the Parks & Recreation Commission, Human
Services Commission, and Cultural Commission, somewhat similar to the
Community Services Commission of the past. The new commission would
consist of three committees with three members each. This would reduce the
burden on staff and yet provide a very functional commission. He felt the
commission would have a sufficient number of issues to address and that it was
a good time to make the change since there are vacancies on all three
commissions.
Mayor Pena noted that the Community Services Commission, which functioned
very well for a number of years, was separated to gain more involvement from
the community, but was supposed to be reviewed later on.
In response to Council Member Henderson, Mr. Weiss confirmed that the
Volunteer Advisory Committee has been eliminated and that the Youth Advisory
Committee and Kidsline have been integrated into the Parks & Recreation
Commission.
Council Member Henderson asked if the commissioners had been made aware
of the integration because she didn't recall any Kidsline issues being addressed
at their meetings to which Mr. Weiss responded yes.
Council Member Henderson advised that she understood the benefit of reducing
the membership on some of the commissions, but wished to hold off on
reducing the Planning Commission until after Council has had an opportunity to
meet with them and gain their input. She commented that the Building Appeals
Board and Traffic Committee don't meet very often, but suggested that they be
reviewed and reconfirmed on an annual basis.
City Council Minutes 16 January 20, 1998
Council Member Henderson felt the Art in Public Places Commission should be
able to function with five members if the Planning Commission can because
their responsibility is as great or even greater. She also felt that the Investment
Advisory Board should be able to function with five members and concurred on
combining the Parks & Recreation Commission, Human Services Commission,
and Cultural Commission.
Council Member Perkins agreed with getting input from the Planning
Commission before reducing its membership and with reducing the other
commissions down to five members. He believed the key to combining the
commissions is to look at what they've done and what their job has been. He
suggested combining the Art in Public Places Commission with the Cultural
Commission.
Council Member Adolph advised that he hasn't changed his stand since Council
discussed this issue last year. He believed community involvement is important
and, although, it's easier to come to a consensus with five members, he felt it's
hard to maintain a quorum and provides less input from the community.
Mayor Pena felt the commissions need clear direction from Council and that
Council should review their work plans twice a year and possibly meeting with
^ them when Council is reviewing their own goals. He pointed out that Council
can always appoint ad hoc committees for specific issues if needed. He felt
attendance problems should be addressed if they exist and agreed with reducing
the memberships and combining some of the commissions.
Council Member Perkins didn't feel community involvement was a problem in
referring to recent issues that drew large attendance at City Council meetings.
He also didn't see any advantage to having seven members on a commission,
advising that he looks at efficiency, not numbers.
Council Member Henderson felt the memberships on the commissions were
increased because of the difficulty Council was having in making appointments
from the number of qualified applicants. She believed the commissions are
doing an excellent job, but felt that they would function well with five members,
noting that their main complaint has been that no one from the community
attends their meetings. She didn't understand why there was such an uproar
last year when she suggested that applicants be required to attend two
meetings prior to appointments being made. She felt they should attend if they
have interest in the commission. She supported combining the Parks &
Recreation Commission, Human Services Commission, and Cultural Commission
because she felt the goals in their work plans are similar. She reiterated her
wish to see Council meet with the Planning Commission before reducing their
City Council Minutes 17 January 20, 1998
membership, but agreed with reducing the Art in Public Places Commission &
the Investment Advisory Board to five members, possibly thru attrition.
Council Member Sniff was willing to wait until after a joint meeting with the
Planning Commission before deciding whether or not to reduce their
membership. He wished to see the Art in Public Places Commission remain as
a separate commission because he felt it has a singular function. He agreed
that there are advantages to having seven members on a commission, but didn't
have a problem with reducing the Art in Public Places Commission and
Investment Advisory Board to five through attrition. He felt the other three
commissions should be combined into one commission consisting of three
committees with three members each for a total of nine members. He hoped
that staff could bring this back for Council action within one month.
Council Member Perkins asked why Council Member Sniff was opposed to
combining the Art in Public Places Commission with the Cultural Commission.
Council Member Sniff felt the Art in Public Places Commission has a singular
function and that it has operated well as it is for about eight years.
Council Member Perkins preferred combining the Art in Public Places
Commission with the Cultural Commission and the Human Services Commission
with the Parks & Recreation Commission.
Council Member Henderson noted that the Art in Public Places Commission is
looking to seek grants and that they may need to broaden their scope in order
to do that, making combining them with the Cultural Commission a viable
consideration.
Council Member Sniff suggested staff forward these discussions to the
commissions for their comments.
Kay Wolff, 77-227 Calle Ensenada, Human Services Commission Member,
advised that the comments they submitted last year still hold true and that she
felt the more eyes and ears out in the community, the better. She noted that
community involvement at Council meetings is usually reactive, not pro -active
as it is on commissions and if seven members on a commission is bad, then she
felt nine would be worse. She believed the mission of the Art in Public Places
Commission, which she felt is very distinct from the Cultural Commission, is
very time-consuming and it would be hard to accomplish anything with the
Cultural Commission. She also felt it would be difficult for the Parks &
Recreation Commission, Human Services Commission, and Cultural Commission
to pursue very different objectives in a unified manner. Their work plans may
City Council Minutes 18 January 20, 1998
look similar, but what they're doing is very different and distinct. She felt the
Human Services Commission would not have accomplished their work in regard
to the Youth Accountability Board over the last several months had the
commissions been combined. Five members may be better than seven, but she
urged Council to keep the purposes of the commissions distinct.
In response to Mayor Pena, she stated that she felt there would be a lack of
continuity with ad hoc committees for long-term issues and added that if money
was the issue, she felt the commissioners wouldn't object to their stipend for
attending meetings being eliminated.
In response to Council Member Adolph, Ms. Wolff advised that they currently
have five members and 100% attendance most of the time.
Rosita Shamis, 78-955 Del Monte Court, Art in Public Places Commission
Member, felt the commissions should have seven members to insure a quorum
and was opposed to combining the Art in Public Places Commission with the
Cultural Commission because she felt their master plans are very different. She
agreed with looking at attendance, but urged Council not to weaken the
commissions.
Carl Ingram, 78-625 Sanita Drive, Parks & Recreation Commission Chairman,
agreed with the comments submitted by Ms. Wolff and Ms. Shamis.
Robert Tyler, 44-215 Villeta Drive, Planning Commission Member, advised that
he served on the Human Services Commission for a short time and felt their
focus was very different from the Parks & Recreation Commission. He also
didn't see the logic in reducing the memberships on the commissions if money
is the issue because it takes the same amount of staff time either way. In
regard to the Planning Commission, he noted that it was increased to seven
members when it took on the responsibilities of the Design Review Board and
he felt if the membership is reduced, that Council would have an even greater
obligation for making sure that there's proper representation on the commission
to give insight to the entire spectrum of issues they review.
Council Member Sniff reiterated his previous suggestions to: 1) leave the
Planning Commission as is for now; 2) leave the Art in Public Places
Commission and Investment Advisory Board intact, except for possibly reducing
them down to five members; 3) leave the Historic Preservation Commission as
is; 4) combine the Parks & Recreation Commission, Human Services
Commission, and Cultural Commission into a Community Services Commission,
consisting of three committees for a total of nine members. He felt each
segment of the commission would be able to discuss the issues singular to each
City Council Minutes 19 January 20, 1998
committee and yet be under the broad umbrella of one commission. He also
suggested that Council's discussion be forwarded to the commissions for their
comments and that staff bring this issue back in one month for potential action.
Council Member Henderson agreed with Council Member Sniff and supported
reducing the Art in Public Places Commission and Investment Advisory Board
to five members. Regarding the comments made about the work the Human
Services Commission has done on the Youth Accountability Board -- she felt
that it's very exciting and believed that the Commissioners are very dedicated
individuals. However, she felt that the work on the Youth Accountability Board
would have come about even if they had been a committee as part of a broader
commission, because of their dedication and because they would have had more
time to focus on that singular issue without having to spend time dealing with
other peripheral issues.
Council Member Perkins agreed with reducing the Art in Public Places
Commission and Investment Advisory Board to five members and felt there's
enough interaction between the Parks & Recreation Commission and Human
Services Commission to combine them, but wished to leave the Cultural
Commission as is if not combined with the Art in Public Places Commission.
Council Member Adolph agreed with Council Member Perkins that the Cultural
Commission should stand alone, but supported the other suggestions.
Mayor Pena agreed with combining the three commissions and asked staff to
bring back comments along those lines with Council discussing the number of
members at that time.
Barbara Irwin, 44-065 Camino La Cresta, felt if the ordinances were re -drafted
that it might help the public and commissioners to see what the Council has in
mind for these commissions.
The Study Session concluded with a majority of the Council directing staff to
come back with options to accomplish the following and with input from the
various commissions:
1. Combine the Cultural Commission, Human Services Commission, and Parks
& Recreation Commission, possibly into a nine -member commission with
responsibilities divided into three committees of three members each;
2. Possibly decrease the membership on the Investment Advisory Board and
Art in Public Places Commission to five members (to be accomplished
through attrition); and,
3. Leave the Historic'Preservation Commission as is.

Mr. Tom Levy

Coachella, CA. 92236
SUBJECT: PRESENTATION ON CITY'S WATER SUPPLY
Dear Mr. Levy:
At the Planning Commission meeting of January 27, 1998, the Commission directed staff to write
a letter to you requesting a presentation on the City's water supply. The Commisison were interested
in a broad overview to help them understand the water supply and how it affects development in the
City. This presentation would be at a time that would be convenient for yourself and the
Commission.
The presentation will be scheduled for a normal Planning Commission meeting which is held every
second and fourth Tuesday of each month. Please contact me with a tentative date that you and/or
your staff would be available to attend.
Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to hearing from you.
Very truly yo s,
(RRY MERMAN
