CONFIRMATION OF AGENDA
Motion - It was moved by Commissioner Leidner and seconded by Commissioner
Gassman to confirm the agenda. Motion carried unanimously.
PRESENTATIONS — Walt Meyer, La Quinta Police Chief, Park Vandalism. Chief
Meyer stated that one great thing about La Quinta is the amount of parks. The
vandalism issue came to a head about a year and a half ago with a few incidents at
the skate park and bad publicity. We looked at the issue of vandalism in the parks
and nature areas to see how to deal with the vandalism. Police service is the most
expensive service to try to stop vandalism. There was a total of $35,000 in
vandalism damage to La Quinta parks in one year. As the City gets bigger,
discussions of getting a parks and recreation officer to work on these types of
issues could be done. This would be an investment of about $125,000 per year.
We look at the parks from an issue of trying to lower crime through Crime
Community Services Commission Minutes February 12, 2001

Prevention Through Environment Design (CPTED). Writing tickets is not going to
solve a lot of the vandalism issues. The fencing was changed at the La Quinta
Park Skate Park to keep kids from lifting their bikes over the fence. 20% of the
kids in our community are committing 80% of the vandalism. The La Quinta SET
Team does a good job identifying these kids. This prevention can be done through
CPTED rather than manpower. CPTED provides better control through park
visibility and design.
Chief Meyer stated the Civic Center Campus is very difficult to watch because it is
surrounded by buildings and mounding which makes it hard to see from the road.
Commissioner Gassman asked if we could use police on bicycles. Chief Meyer
stated that bicycles are limited to deputies on special assignments. If there is an
identified problem or series of vandalism after 2:00 p.m. in areas where bikes
would be used for surveillance, then they could be used. It is not cost effective to
put the bicycles out there on a regular patrol basis.
Commissioner Gassman stated that the Commissioners have voiced concerns on
the determination of who was committing the vandalism and also to come up with
a program where the vandal is asked to help clean up. Chief Meyer stated that the
Police Department does not dispense justice. The District Attorney and Judges
make the decisions on justice. These vandals have to be supervised and monitored
by staff and this will incur costs to the City. Staff does a great job planning the
parks and taking caring of them. A lot of the issues that happen at the parks
happen at organized events such as AYSO, Little League, Pee Wee Football, etc.
All of these groups have sanctions for improper activity. Director Hylton stated
that these groups have agreements with the City that if we have notification and
we can identify the vandals, they can be removed from the program.
Vice -Chairperson Sylk asked what the best deterrent is for these issues and how
do the vandals get to some of these areas without people seeing them. Chief
Meyer stated that the best deterrent is exactly what the City has been doing,
maintaining the parks at the highest level possible. These are 10-20 person crews
with lookouts, they have instantaneous communications. You are going to have
damage and issues when you push 200,000 people through a facility in a year.
Vice -Chairperson Sylk asked if most of the kids doing the graffiti are from La
Quinta. Chief Meyer stated that there are La Quinta groups of kids that are
vandalizing and it doesn't matter where the others live.
Chief Meyer stated that the new thing is slap tagging. Anyone can pick up stickers
at the Post Office for mail; the vandals are putting graffiti on them and then
slapping them on stop signs, etc. throughout the community.
Vice -Chairperson Sylk suggested an after school Jr. Deputy Program. Chief Meyer
stated that there is a pro and a con to everything and this would be something to
have a meeting over and get input.

Commissioner Leidner asked if the $35,000 includes labor. Golf & Parks Manager
Howlett stated that his division tracks materials only, but Public Works tracks
materials and labor. Director Hylton stated that staff would verify that number.
Commissioner Long asked what happens to the taggers when they are caught.
Chief Meyer stated that it depends on whether they are adults or juveniles, what
amount of damage is done, and whether it is gang related. Often times they are
placed on probation. If it is a misdemeanor, they will not do any jail time, but get
probation and fines.
Chief Meyer stated that signage and visibility are the keys to reducing vandalism.

BUSINESS ITEMS
1. Consideration of the Fred Wolff Nature Preserve Master Plan.
Golf & Parks Manager, Steve Howlett, presented the Fred Wolff Bear Creek Nature
Preserve Master Plan to the Commission. Staff has approached CVWD regarding
the Whitewater Channel that runs through the preserve. It looks like we can move
forward on abandoning the bank of dirt, because the FEMA wash is now in place.
Staff is waiting on CVWD to provide a formal written consent that CVWD no
longer requires that bank. CVWD's concern is that they have vehicle access to the
property. Director Hylton stated that the City owns a portion of the southern
section of the property which could extend the preserve. The primary goal right
now is to get the signage in place, get vehicular access to stop in these areas, and
turn this area into the preserve it was intended for.

Commissioner Leidner asked if cable fencing would be planned in this area.
Director Hylton stated that the City has recycle funds which can be used towards
recycled fencing similar to what is at SilverRock Resort.
Commissioner Long noted that on page 3 of the Master Plan, Landscape paragraph
1, there is a typo "und" should be "and."
Kay Wolff introduced Andrea Dooley, Linda Williams, and Joan Rebich. Ms. Wolff
thanked the Commission for the work that is being done. The Stewards of the
Fred Wolff Nature Preserve are a larger group of people who will support the
activities once the Master Plan is in place and there are activities that need
community support. The Stewards are very impressed and pleased with the quality
of the work in the Master Plan.
Andrea Dooley stated that this is a very important project. There are no more
natural spaces; we need to preserve this property.
Chairperson Weber asked if staff had approached the Postal Service about moving
the mailboxes from one side of the street to the other. Director Hylton stated that
staff would like the plan approved before contacting the Postal Service.
Commissioner Leidner asked if staff would be bringing back the concepts of
fencing. Director Hylton stated that staff could bring it back to the Commission if
they would like to look at the concepts. Chairperson Weber suggested that the
Commission get an update on the status of the Nature Preserve on a monthly
basis.
Motion — It was moved by Commissioner Gassman and seconded by Vice -
Chairperson Sylk to approve the Fred Wolff Bear Creek Nature Preserve Master
Plan. Motion carried unanimously.
2. Consideration for Commission participation in the Community Concert and
Poster Unveiling
Director Hylton stated that staff would like the participation of the Commission at
this event.
Motion — It was moved by Commissioner Leidner and seconded by Commissioner
Gassman to have Chairperson Weber and Commissioner Gassman participate in the
Community Concert on February 18, 2007. Motion carried unanimously.
3. Consideration of Two Commissioners to Serve on the Civic Center Art Purchase

Parks Items of Interest
For January 2007
January 3, 2007
Staff is meeting with painting contractors to get bids for painting the facilities at
Fritz Burns Park. The wood structures and fence around the pool are in need of
repairs and new paint.
Staff met with representatives from the youth sports associations to coordinate
field scheduling. Currently, Staff is reviewing the bid proposal that were received
for the La Quinta Sports Complex Needs Analysis and Rehabilitation Plan. Staff
hopes to present the bid results within the near future.
January 10, 2007
The gates to the trash containers at Fritz Burns Park were painted this week. The
trash gates at La Quinta Park should also be newly painted by the end of the week.
We had two weddings at the Civic Center Campus last Saturday. The afternoon
wedding moved to the Library's rental space for the reception that followed.
Staff along with a representative from the Desert Sands Unified School District
interviewed three contractors who bid for the La Quinta Sports Complex Needs
Analysis and Rehabilitation Plan. We are now checking references and the projects
that were completed by each contractor.
January 17, 2007
La Quinta Park was vandalized with graffiti over the weekend. The Public Works
Maintenance Department was quick to remove and cover painted areas throughout
the park.
The City of Palm Springs rented the La Quinta Sports Complex last weekend for a
valley wide softball tournament.
anuary 24. 2007
The broken bleachers at La Quinta Park have been replaced. The usage of the park
is declining in the evenings due to the AYSO season coming to an end. The field
lighting schedule is being adjusted to accommodate the field usage.
LQSYA is hosting a baseball clinic this weekend at the La Quinta Sports Complex.
The clinic will include some former Major League players. This will be a kick off for
the 2007 youth baseball and softball season.
The water at the La Quinta Sports Complex was shut-off last week by Desert
Sands Unified School District. They needed to repair two irrigation main lines. The
irrigation repairs should be completed by the end of the week to accommodate the
Baseball clinic.
A "hill" in the Civic Center Campus was lowered in preparations for the La Quinta
Arts Festival. The purpose for the landscape change was to allow more booths to
set-up through that location. Members of the La Quinta Arts Foundation became
concerned about space availability because of the expansion of City Hall.
January 31. 2007
The Friends of the Fred Wolff Bear Creek Nature Preserve have been meeting with
Staff to develop a Master Plan for the management of the Nature Preserve. The
draft plan has now been completed.
We received a resident complaint about mud puddles at the entrances to the dog
park at Fritz Burns Park. Staff and the Landscape Contractor inspected the area and
agree that improvements need to be made. The areas in question are just as guests
enter through the gates. These areas will be filled in with gravel material so as to
not create a trip hazard while allowing irrigation water to drain. The irrigation heads
will also be adjusted so they will not water the improved gravel area.
