team member calls five businesses to say "Hello" and see what's going on with
their business. This is a way to touch the community to find out how the Chamber
can help these businesses. Bi-monthly potlucks are held to help strengthen the
membership relationships, with the next one being held in July.
Commissioner Brodsky complemented the Chamber on the map in The Gem.
Vice -Chairperson Leidner asked what the time frame is for the five calls. Mr.
Archer stated that staff is calling five members daily and the Board of Directors is
calling one member per day.

wonderful piece of writing. Commissioner Gassman suggested a section be
devoted to new businesses for information purposes.
Chairperson Weber stated that The Gem is very professional and a good marketing
piece.

the City work with other agencies in the community to promote and offer some of
these programs.

one of the posting places. Chairperson Weber stated that the Commission posts

enhanced signage for the Study Session Room.
Commissioner Quill stated that Centre Pointe Park needs more benches. She asked
staff why the gate in between the two dog parks has been pad locked. Mr.
Howlett stated that the gate was locked to keep the small and large dogs
separated. Commissioner Quill suggested a gate be installed so that children can
access the play area from the dog park. Mr. Howlett stated that there needs to be
double gated system for that to occur because dogs might get out. Commissioner

a viable access point. Commissioner Quill stated there is no lighting at the park.

Parks Activities Updates
For April 2008
The "Arches" art piece was repainted, The colors that were used are more
accurate to the colors used in the City Logo. Last year, an artist was
commissioned to add the quail and palm tree elements to the art piece to
improve the overall appearance and make it more representative of the City
of La Quinta.
Several art pieces were professionally cleaned around City Hall. The two
pieces at the back entrance to City hall were cleaned and the bases were
repainted. The Bronze art pieces in the courtyard were cleaned and waxed.
And finally, the "Spirit of La Quinta" fountain was cleaned and waxed once
again. Because of the water element, the "Spirit" art piece requires more
annual maintenance to protect the bronze,
The replacement plaques commemorating the "Spirit of La Quinta" art piece
in front of City Hall have been installed.
Staff met with two contractors to inspect the tennis courts at Fritz Burns
Park, Staff is recommending the resurfacing two tennis courts which will be
presented as a component of the next fiscal year operating budget.
Staff received an assessment of the Sports Fields at the Sports Complex
from PRZ Sports Turf Consulting. This assessment is a component of the La
Quinta Sports Complex Needs Analysis and Rehabilitation Plan being
conducted by Community Works. PRZ is recognized as an industry leader in
sports field evaluations. Their analysis compares the field usage with
maintenance levels and provides recommendations based on these factors as
well as the climate, turf type, soil conditions, and sports and school usage
periods. This analysis will be presented along with the proposed
Rehabilitation Plan to the Community Services Commission once Community
Works has completed their designs as per their Agreement.
One of the slides at Fritz Burns Park was broken due to vandalism. The slide
has been removed and the open area on the play feature was secured for
safety purposes. A replacement slide has been ordered.
The Riverside County Health Department approved the rubber safety
surfacing to be used at the interactive water feature. The contractor is now
working with the manufacturer to get the material installed in a timely
manner to have the water feature open again as soon as possible. Staff will
provide a completion date as soon as the information becomes available.

Recently, Vintage Landscapes (Park Contractor) received their provisional
Water Certification through the California Landscape Contractors
Association. This Certification is designed to recognize landscape contractors
who demonstrate their abilities in water conservation. To receive their full
Certification, Vintage must manage an efficient water budget at three parks
for one year, followed by a full audit by the California Landscape Contractors
Association. Vintage will also be coordinating their efforts with CVWD. Staff
will report on the three parks being used for the certification as that
information becomes available,
