As of February 2006, Line 70 Service operated on 100 minutes headway on
weekdays and weekends; served residents of La Quinta, Indian Wells, Palm Desert,
and Bermuda Dunes; served La Quinta Resort; provided service to La Quinta High
School; offered service to retail/commercial shops along Washington Street; served
retail and commercial shops on Country Club Drive in Palm Desert; served JFK
Hospital on Washington Street.
As of January 2008, Line 70 modifications included realigning routes from
Washington Street to Miles Avenue, Adams Street, and Avenue 47; discontinued
service on Washington Street (between Miles Avenue and Avenue 47); continue to
provide service to La Quinta High School; discontinued service to La Quinta Resort
due to lack of ridership; improved bus stops to meet ADA accessibility; continued
service to retail and commercial shops on Country Club Drive in Palm Desert;
improved service to major retail and commercial shops along Adams Street and
Avenue 47; continued to serve JFK Hospital on Washington Street.
Commissioner Quill commented on the time it will now take students to get to the
new bus stop. Ms. Lovi stated that SunLine coordinates the bus stop times with
the school bell times to help ensure students have time to get to the bus. SunLine
will continue to look at that stop for any issues that may come up.
Commissioner Gassman asked how long the bus stands at each stop. Ms. Lovi
stated that the average stop time is approximately 1 to 3 minutes. Commissioner
Gassman asked if the bus sits longer at the High School stop. Ms. Lovi stated the
bus does stop longer at busier stops.
Vice -Chairperson Leidner asked how the decision was made to exclude the
Washington Street and Highway 111 intersection from bus ridership. Ms. Lovi
stated that it took longer for pedestrians to cross the street from one end to the
other which was part of the issue in realigning the route.
Vice -Chairperson Leidner asked if the area businesses at the Washington Street and
Highway 111 intersection got the opportunity to give input in before changes were
made. Ms. Lovi stated that there were three public meetings and only 3 people
showed up to these meetings. There was not a lot of input from the businesses.
As SunLine continues to look at growth throughout the Valley and from one City to
another, they will look at the employers within those cities that have employees
using the bus system. Commissioner Quill stated that if the bus goes by Tampico,
that is actually where people who work at the Resort park and take a shuttle to the
Resort.
Commissioner Sylk stated that he is happy that the route was moved away from
the Washington Street and Highway 111 intersection because it is so congested
there. Commissioner Sylk asked why the southbound route takes 44 minutes and
3
( ronlnnovty S,,rvcOs Gomnnssurl MinutE;y March 10, 2008
C3
the northbound route takes 41 minutes. Ms. Lovi stated it could be based on the
different activities and turns. He asked if SunLine is looking into having more
frequent stops so people don't have to wait 1 hour and 40 minutes if they miss a
bus. Ms. Lovi stated that SunLine is looking to make sure that service throughout
the valley is as frequent as possible.
Commissioner Gassman noted that some bus stops are covered and some aren't.
When there is no shelter at the bus stops in the Cove, patrons tend to loiter on
private property for shade and then run to the bus when they see it coming. She
suggested having shelters at all of the bus stops in the Cove. Ms. Lovi stated that
SunLine is in the process of getting shelters at some locations but it is difficult to
do in areas where there are not sidewalks.
Chairperson Weber stated that he appreciated the prompt response to an email he
had forwarded regarding taxi oversight to SunLine. He asked about the annual
ridership statistics. Ms. Lovi stated that ridership in 2006 was approximately 3.5
million riders and 2007 was down by about 50,000 riders. Ridership goes up at
the beginning of the school year and drops in the summer and during holidays.
Chairperson Weber suggested that SunLine continue to promote their green efforts.
Chairperson Weber asked how SunLine views the decorative custom shelters that
the City acquires. Ms. Lovi stated that SunLine would like the same type of
amenities for maintenance consistency. Ms. Lovi continues to work with cities on
a case by case basis. The customized shelters must meet the ADA requirements.
Chairperson Weber asked what SunLine anticipates the next route to be analyzed
or potentially redesigned. Ms. Lovi stated that SunLine has changed the frequency
on Highway 111. SunLine will be looking at Lines 30, 14, and 111. SunLine will
also be looking at the frequency of Line 70.
Commissioner Quill suggested that SunLine evaluate the La Quinta High School
route and ask the bus driver what the student feed back is. She stated that she
has never seen a SunBus full except for when it leaves La Quinta High School.
From where the bus used to stop right on the edge of the school the students now
have to walk over '/4 miles and cross a signal. If the students aren't happy with
the bus stop there, maybe SunLine would consider once a day alternating back
over to Dune Palms so students wouldn't have to cross a busy intersection that
has traffic at that time of day.
At 6:09 p.m. Chairperson Weber presided over the meeting.

Proposals. Director Hylton and Museum Manager, Kim Mack, have invited all of
the artists that have participated and been unsuccessful in participation.
Chairperson Weber suggested adding AYSO and the Coachella Valley Recreation
and Park District under the Specific Goals and Objectives section.
Chairperson Weber stated that at some point the Commission is going to have to
put a limit on AYSO for La Quinta Park. He would like to see a 5-year plan from
AYSO. Director Hylton stated that the biggest issue is to be able to rest the fields
for a few months during the summer so staff can get them back into condition.
The use of the fields needs to be limited and staff is working with AYSO to
relocate younger children to Colonel Paige Middle School.
Chairperson Weber stated he would like to see a presentation from AYSO on where
they see their growth over the next 5 years.

MEETING DATE: April 14, 2008 CONSENT CALENDAR:
ITEM TITLE: Consideration of Compensation to the STUDY SESSION:
Community Services Commission for Special Meetings PUBLIC HEARING:
RECOMMENDATION:
As deemed appropriate by the Community Services Commission.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
The La Quinta Municipal Code Section 2.06.050 Compensation (Attachment 1) states
"Compensation for boards, commissions, or committees shall be set by resolution of
the city council. (Ordinance 287§1(part), 1996)." Current compensation for the
Community Services Commission and other Boards and Commissions (with the
exception of the Planning Commission) are set at $75 a month. The compensation for
Boards and Commissions was discussed at the June 5, 2007 City Council Meeting.
This includes the Architectural and Landscape Review Committee, Historic
Preservation Board, Investment Advisory Board, and the Community Services
Commission.
Compensation for other Park and Recreation Commissions are included in Attachment
2. Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Cathedral City, Indian Wells, Desert
Hot Springs, and Indio have Commissions in which the primary function is similar to
the Community Services Commission in addressing park and recreation functions.
Commissioner Brodsky and Commissioner Long requested that this topic be brought to
the Commission for consideration. It was suggested that compensation be given for
the park tour and other special meetings held that discuss Community Services
business. In Fiscal Year 2007-2008 the Community Services Commission has met
once beyond a regular scheduled meeting to take a tour of the city Art in Public Places
and parks. The Community Services Commission also regularly attends events as
ambassadors of the City and to become familiar and make suggestions to the programs
and activities provided by the department.
S:\Community Services\CS Commission\CSC Meetings\2008\04-14-08\CS Compensation.doc 16
Alternatives to this issue include:
1 . Schedule the park tour in lieu of the monthly meeting.
2. Schedule the park tour bi-annually in lieu of a monthly meeting as it may not be
needed on an annual basis.
3. Discontinue the special meeting of the park tour and have Commissioners visit
parks and public art on their own time.
4. Draft a letter to the City Council requesting an increase in the compensation for
special meetings above the regularly scheduled monthly meetings.
ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives available to the Commission are:
1. Recommend an increase to the compensation for the Community Services
Commission for special meetings; or
2. Recommend scheduling the art and parks tour in lieu of a regularly scheduled
Community Services Meeting; or
3. Do not recommend a special meeting for a parks tour; or
4. Do not recommend an increase to the compensation for the Community
Services Commission for special meetings; or
5. Provide staff with alternate direction

Parks Activities Updates
For February 2008
The wind event on February 3" caused damage to trees throughout the City Parks.
The parks that were damaged were the Civic Center Campus and La Quinta Park.
15 mature trees were blown down and were removed. Staff is assessing the
damage and will work with the Parks Maintenance Contractor to replace the trees
that were removed.
The Air Motion art piece was destroyed during the February 3rd high wind event.
The piece was damaged in a previous high wind event in October but was repaired
and reinforced with additional steel bracing. This months wind storm was strong
enough to break the 2 inch mounting post and throw the art piece into the street,
where the clear top portion was shattered. The art piece was purchased for
$15,000 in 1992 and donated to the City. Staff filed a claim for all of the wind
damage.
Ted Pritchett from CVWD was given a tour of the parks. Ted is working with the
City of La Quinta to find ways that the community can become educated on
efficient water use. One place that the community can learn is through the City's
management of City facilities. Ted was impressed with the current effectiveness of
our parks as well as the design considerations that were given for water efficiency.
A report of cost effective recommendations will be given to the City for the parks
as well as ideas that we can work with CVWD on public relations, community
education, and community involvement.
New park signs that identify the hours of operation and the municipal codes
regarding dog leash and dog feces have been installed at the entry points to the
Fred Wolff Bear Creek Nature Preserve. Dog bag dispensers and trash cans are
being ordered and will be installed at the same locations.
Staff solicited ideas for the naming of the new Centre Pointe Park located at Miles
Avenue and Seeley Drive. The park was built by the developers of Centre Pointe
and the City assumed the operation of the park on January 1, 2008. A cover letter
and submittal form was sent by a mailing service to all of the residences within a
500 foot radius of the park. The submittal forms for the park name are due into the
City by March 28, 2008.
