2. Chairman Millis asked if there were any plans showing the entry gate. Mr.
Eric Carlson, AIA, architect for the project, presented and explained the
drawings. Discussion followed regarding the architecture detailing to be
used.
3. Mr. Carlson, AIA Architects, addressed the issues that were raised in the staff
report and showed photographs of the existing wall. As a solution to the
auto -court impacting the existing low rock wall. They decided to drop the
elevation of building(s) and auto -court to allow a grade change that would
retain the existing wall. The existing wall would have the last two feet
removed to allow a natural tie in with the new auto -court.
4. Chairman Millis asked what the perimeter wall material treatment would
consist of. Mr. Carlson stated it was to be stone similar to the existing to
carry the same theme throughout the auto -court. Chairman Millis asked if
they would be able to locate the same stone. Mr. Carlson stated they intended
to use what was not going to be used from other areas on the property. Staff
stated they would require that the applicant make a definite distinction
between the old and new sections.
Mr. Mike Rowe, Winchester Development stated it was the applicants desire
to retain the theme and look of an old hacienda. He went on to explain that
the existing walls were two feet high and they intended to construct the wall
on the east side 6-inches high and detail/color it to denote the difference
between the two walls. Staff explained that they were concerned about the
transition between the two elements and the proposed changes would satisfy
staffs concerns.
6. Chairman Millis asked if there was to be any difference in the materials to be
used for the driveway. Mr. Rowe stated there would be none, it was to be
asphalt and dirt.
Planning Manager Christine di Iorio stated staff had spoken with the Fire
Department and they were comfortable with the designation of the east entry
lane for Fire Department emergency use. Discussions followed regarding the
driveway dimensions and signs to notify vehicular traffic, of the Fire
Department access.

Mr. Mike Rowe asked about the planters in front of the entry gate being
moved. Planning Manager Christine di Iorio explained that staff originally
wanted to retain the planters and not compromise the existing structure. As
a result of discussions with the applicant, they had no objections to their
recommendation. Staff will document the planters with photographs before
they are removed.
Chairman Millis asked if staff was comfortable with the changes as submitted
by the applicant. Staff stated they were in agreement.
There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by
Commissioners DeMersman/Puente to adopt Minute Motion 97-001,
recommending approval to the City Council of the Certificate of
Appropriateness for Environmental Assessment 96-333 with the
modifications as submitted by the applicant. Unanimously approved.

2. Chairman Millis stated that this area, as documented through history, has
always been the lowest point and probably precludes any findings as it was
usually a lake.
I. There being no further questions/comments, it was moved and seconded by
Commissioner Puente/DeMersman to adopt Minute Motion 97-002,
recommending to the City Council, approval of the Report of Archaeological

VI. CORRESPONDENCE AND WRITTEN MATERIAL -
A. Staff explained that a letter had been received from Dr. Paul Chace, of The Keith
Companies explaining that they had acquired a computer program that identified
there were 193 historic older buildings within the City which currently survive. A
notebook listing these 193 properties with additional information could be purchased
by the City for $3,287.00.
Chairman asked what the differences were between what our Historic Survey
consultants had found and this list. Staff stated the consultants had not done
any field work to date.
2. Commissioner DeMersman asked why The Keith Companies would take the
time to do this. Chairman Millis stated it was probable because they obtained
the software that allowed them to do this. Chairman Millis suggested the
Commission wait to see what the Survey produced and see if the difference
warranted looking into the offer. As most computer programs will rank the
historic buildings, the only ones that may be missing from the Survey results,
may not be of any significance.
3. The Commission determined to take no action at this time, but wait to see
what the Survey produces.
B. Certified Local Government (CLG) Professional Qualifications update.
Associate Planner Leslie Mouriquand explained that the Annual CLG report
was due and each Commissioner needed to update their resume for
preparation to SHPO.
2. Planning Manager Christine di Iorio informed the Commission that Council
would be reviewing the applicants to serve on the Historic Preservation
Commission at their January 21, 1997 meeting. Four applications had been
received. Discussion followed relative to the applicants background.

A. Environmental Assessment 96-333 -Tradition Club; a request of The 'Tradition Club
Associates, LLC, for a report of Historic Documentation of the Old Avenue 52 by
Paul G. Chace, Ph.D., The Keith Companies.
.„U 001
Historical Preservation Commission
February 20, 1997
HPC2-20
A staff report was presented by Planning Manager Christine di Iorio, a copy
of which is on file in the Community Development Department. Staff stated
that comments had been received from Advisor Lauren Bricker :regarding this
project. It was her concern that the Commission make a determination either
to concur with the report that the linear feature (Old Avenue 52) has no
significance, or ask that it be included in the report. Even though the feature
has been removed, the issue is to determine whether it is significant and
warrants some local significance to the planning and development of the
community. Dr. Chace's decision to not include it in the report is based upon
the lack of integrity of the resource. Ms. Bricker's felt this should not be the
determining factor in making the decision as to its significance.
2. Chairman Millis asked which element does Mr. Chace believe is not valid.
Staff stated it was their determination that Mr. Chace was making the
determination based on the integrity of the feature as it is gone. Again, is the
fact that it has been removed reason to make the determination about its
significance and is this setting a precedent for future determinations?
Chairman Millis stated that in this case there has been a clear record of that
piece of property and the linear feature which has been reflected in a number
of documents that would allow the history to be recorded. The feature being
gone does not change the fact that the documentation is in place.
4. Planning Manager Christine di Iorio stated a sentence could be added to the
report stating its significance and documenting it in accordance; with CEQA.
Staff was asking the Commission whether or not Dr. Chace should be asked
to make the change.
Chairman Millis stated that the significance of 52nd Avenue was still there.
In fact, only a portion of the street had been removed and that removal does
not erase the significance of the street.
6. Commissioner DeMersman clarified that staff was asking the Commission
whether or not they wanted to require Dr. Chase to change: the report to
record the streets significance. Staff stated this was the question.
7. Chairman Millis stated that Item 43 under the Findings be changed to
acknowledge the historical significance of the street, and note that it had been
thoroughly documented. Staff was to notify The Keith Companies of the
Commission's request.

2. Ms. O'Conner stated they were in the City to conduct field research to get a
feel for the lay of the land and to gain background. They would then review
again the Context Statement completed by staff in light of their on -site
review. They are doing an overall review of the older buildings and getting
an idea of how it fits into the Context Statement. Now they are moving into
the systematic review of the City and hope to review findings with staff to be
sure they are not overlooking or missing anything.
3. Commissioners suggested Ms. O'Conner review the aerial photos that are
available.
4. Chairman Millis thanked Ms. O'Connor for her report.
E. Symposium on the Archaeological of the Coachella Valley
Staff provided information regarding the upcoming symposium. A list of

the City La Quinta, and will be held at the La Quinta City Hall Council
Chambers. Staff will see that an agenda is mailed to the Commission as soon
as it is received.
2. Ms. Joyce Pena stated that during research for a book she was working on,
there was a dispute as to the exact boundaries of the Coachella Valley. She
had gone to the different cities and the boundaries she was given were
according to the school districts. She stated that if the word "Coachella
Valley" is to be used that a definition be made as to the exact boundaries that
make up the Valley. She volunteered to give staff a map that she had
obtained that gave the boundaries she understood to be the Coachella Valley.
3. Chairman Millis thanked Ms. Pena for her offer and asked staff to obtain a
copy of the map.
F. Environmental Assessment 96-335 for Tentative Tract 28409; a request of A & M
Builders for a Heritage Resources Assessment by Archaeological Advisory Group
of the area north of Avenida Montezuma, west of Avenida Juarez, and southeast of
the Bear Creek Channel for a subdivision of 9.15 acres 19 single family lots. They
are requesting to not have a monitor on site as the CV WD has done a lot of grading
work prior to any archaeological work being completed. The possibility of artifacts
present on the project site could not he substantiated due to the disturbances that have
taken place over an extended period of time. They are therefore recommending that
a monitor not be required to be on site for grading.

I. Planning Manager Christine di Iorio presented the information contained in
the staff report a copy of which is on file in the Community Development
Department.
2. Commissioner Wright asked staff to clarify the location of the project. Staff
clarified that there were two projects proposed for this general area but that
this project is in an area that has been designated as residential and is at the
north end of the Channel. There are to be 19 residential units planned in a
southwest design on lots sizes of 12-15,000 square feet.
3. Chairman Millis stated that as this area is at the bottom of the Bear Creek
Channel and before the rechanneling the water that ran through there was so
rapid that anything would have been washed away.
4. There being no questions, it was moved and seconded by Commissioners
DeMersman/Puente to adopt Minute Motion 97-005, approving the request
to not have a monitor on site during grading. Unanimously approved.

A. Staff asked Ms. Pam O'Conner to comment on the California Preservation
Conference on emergency preparedness as she was one of the speakers to the
conference. She stated it was important to have preservation documentation to assist
in the repairs after a disaster. Should a disease occur, documentation helps to
streamline the rebuilding process. The conference dealt with the her cities (Santa
Monica) disaster as a case study. She went to state the processes and events that they
went through following the earthquake they went through and the rebuilding process.
She stated that being a city that has a Certified Local Government makes for a
stronger reviewing body. Each city needs to have inventory in place, be able to
respond, and yet be sensitive to realize that in a disaster, historic buildings are not the
most important thing. The community is going through stress going to recover. Keep
the rehabilitation in context to the communities needs. Going to lose some buildings
and you need to be able to pick and chose which ones should have a priority.
Commissioner Wright stated that the statistics quoted at the conference regarding
how many buildings were destroyed and restored were incredible. Ms. Pam Connor
stated that they only had to demolish three or five buildings. Commissioner Wright
noted the difference in the attitude of the people in Santa Monica versus the attitude
of those in San Francisco regarding the restoration of the buildings. The residents of
Santa Monica wanted to restore their community compared to San Francisco who
wanted to "punish" the buildings by tearing them down. Ms. O'Connor noted that
experiences are learned after each of the disasters.

To Whom It May Concern:
Attached, please find a copy of the Cultural Resource Assessment of the Adams Street Extension Project,
La Quinta , California. This project is Capitol Improvement Project No. 95-04 Adams Street/4-Signals. The
Adams Street Extension consisted of the grading, widening, and paving of a segment of Adams Street,
from Westward Ho Drive, north 2,200 feet. Related to this road work was the borrowing of fill dirt from
an adjacent City -owned parcel at the northeast corner of the intersection of Westward Ho Drive and
Adams Street. An additional component of this project consisted of the installation of new traffic signals
at the intersection of Highway 111 and Washington Street. This component was deemed not to require
cultural resource assessment as it was replacing existing traffic signals and equipment at a previously
developed intersection and would not disrupt areas that had not already been disturbed. The Adams Street
roadway extension and borrow site were the components of work subject to this cultural resource
assessment.
The area encompassed by the archaeological assessment consists of a linear strip 2,200 feet in length by
approximately 100 feet in width, and a borrow area 500 feet by 500 feet in size. The total area of this
project is 5.73 acres.
The extension of Adams Street and related borrow site had the potential to disturb both surface and
subsurface cultural deposits, as indicated by the surface artifacts present on the site itself, the adjacent
archaeological sites in which the existing roadbed had cut through several years ago, and recent results of
adjacent archaeological investigations.
The scheduling of the grading for the Adams Street extension was delayed about one week which provided
additional time to conduct an intensive field survey, limited testing, and to prepare for follow-up monitoring
of the grading activities. This study was conducted to meet the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended, and local regulations of the City of La Quinta. The
study has complied with CEQA and the local requirements to the point that identification, assessment, and
mitigation of affected prehistoric archaeological resources has been completed. No further assessment is
needed unless additional areas on or adjacent to this project site are disturbed in the future. Continued
periodic monitoring of the project area is recommended.
The attached report addresses a Phase I (inventorylidentification component) and Phase II (evaluation
component) type of investigation, as well as monitoring results. Site recordation documents are found in
the confidential appendix. The survey consisted of an intensive investigation preceded by a record search
performed by the Eastern Information Center, at the University of California, at Riverside.

Although there were no previously recorded archaeological or historical sites on the project site, the survey
did result in the identification and recordation of five prehistoric archaeological sites and tweilve isolated
artifacts. One site was identified outside of the area surveyed exceed the actual borrow area in order to
provide a buffer. The types of cultural resources identified include pottery scatters, a possible clay floor,
lithic workshop scatter, hearths, and isolated artifacts.
The property affected by the cultural resource investigation is partially owned by the City of La Quinta
(borrow site) and partially under the jurisdiction of the City (Adams Street and right-of-way). There was no
possibility of redesigning the project in order to protect the cultural resources. There were no special
circumstances associated with this investigation other than a construction scheduling delay which was
minimal. There are no additional actions being requested or required by CEQA. This report is subject to
review and acceptance by the City's Historic Preservation Commission. The City contact person most
familiar with this investigation is Leslie J. Mouriquand, Associate Planner/Archaeologist, who can be
contacted at 1760) 777-7068.

MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
A cultural resources surrey was conducted by Leslie Mouriquand, Associate Planner/Archaeologist, of the
Community Development Department, City of La Quinta. This survey was conducted to identify and assess
cultural resources on the Adams Street Extension Project site. The project area of which totals 5.73
acres, and consists of the roadway alignment for Adams Street which runs along a section line, from
Westward Ho Drive north 2,200 linear feet, and an adjacent borrow area located at the northeast corner
of Westward Ho Drive and Adams Street alignment. The borrow site was used to quarry fill dirt for the
roadway improvements.
Five prehistoric archaeological sites (CA-RIV-5840, CA-RIV-5841, CA-RIV-5842, CA-RIV-5843, and CA-
RIV-5844) were identified within or adjacent to the project site. These sites were recorded and mapped.
Twelve isolated artifacts were found scattered across the project area. The isolates consisted of
prehistoric pottery sherds and a lithic point (arrowhead), lithic debitage, grinding stone fragment, and a
large flake. A total of twenty-six archaeological sites have been previously recorded within a one mile
radius of the project site. Thus, the project is considered to be part of a highly sensitive archaeological
region, specifically, a part of a series of sites along a river channel, possibly associated with a major
village.
The archaeological sites found in the roadway and the borrow site are scattered across the general project
area, which was near the north bank of the path of the Whitewater River, and within an
occupationlresource procurement zone adjacent to the ancient Lake Cahuilla shoreline. Four of the sites do
not appear to be unique or significant and do not warrant further work beyond site recordation and artifact
recovery. CA-RIV-5840 (Adams Street #1) was test excavated in order to determine if there was a
subsurface component; however, none was found.
No historic period resources were found to be associated with the project site. Some modern trash was
scattered across the borrow site. A dirt road crosses the property, north of the borrow area, but no
evidence could be found during the records search or field survey that indicated a historical significance.
It is recommended that no further planning consideration for significant cultural resources is warranted to
mitigate any direct or indirect impacts of this specific roadway improvement project. However, additional
investigation and mitigation will be necessary for any future development or quarrying on the project site.
Because the project site is within an area known to be highly sensitive for archaeologicall resources,
monitoring of all grubbing, grading, and quarrying activities was performed and should be conducted with
all future development projects or disturbances of the property. As the project began construction shortly
after the field survey was conducted, only limited subsurface testing could be performed prior to
monitoring of the grading activities. As the road improvement project is now completed, no further
mitigation is necessary or possible for that area within the roadway of Adams Street. For over a year, the
borrow area has been monitored on a monthly basis, by the author, since the conclusion of the project.
During several of these monthly inspections, pottery sherds, and one lithic point have been recovered from
the recorded sites, indicating that there is additional cultural deposition present in the sand dunes.
Additional archaeological testing, recovery, and monitoring will be necessary for future phases of work or
development of the property.

INTRODUCTION
This report has been prepared at the request of the Public Works Department, City of La Quinta. On March
31 and April 1, 1996, Leslie Mouriquand, Associate Planner/Archaeologist, for the Community
Development Department, City of La Quinta, undertook a cultural resource survey to locate and assess any
cultural resources located on or adjacent to the 5.73 acres of the Adams Street Extension Project,
constructed by Cooley Construction under contract with the City of La Quinta. The project site is located
north of Westward Ho Drive, 2,200 feet along the designated roadway alignment for Adams Street, and an
adjacent borrow area located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Westward Ho Drive and Adams
Street alignment. The City project number is CIP# 95-04. The regional location of the project site is
identified in Figure 1.
This report describes the cultural resources survey, assessment and mitigation of the Adams Street
Extension Project area. Five prehistoric archaeological sites were located within or adjacent to the project
boundaries. Twelve isolated artifacts were found scattered over the project site. No identifiable historical
resources or landmarks were observed on the project site.
The five prehistoric sites were recorded and mapped, then given temporary project numbers until
permanent state trinomials can be assigned. The sites consisted of small camp areas or pottery scatters.
These sites are similar to many of the other small camp sites in the nearby area and are probably part of a
series of similar sites found along the banks of the existing Whitewater River channel. It is possible that
this cluster of sites are associated with the Cahuilla village of Kavinic or Kavinish (Indian Wells). The
Adams Street Project sites can be considered as potentially important archaeological resources.
No previously recorded cultural resource surveys or investigations have been conducted on the project site,
prior to this investigation. This report complies with the requirements and procedures for addressing
cultural resources during the planning process as directed by the California Environmental Quality Act of
1970 (P.R.C. Sec. 21000 et seq.) and as amended for archaeology in 1982 (P.R.C. Sec. 21083.2) as
stipulated in Appendix K of the State CEQA Guidelines for archaeological impacts. This report conforms to
the procedures recommended by the State of California Office of Historic Preservation publication titled,
Archaeological Resource Management Reports (ARMR): Recommended Contents and Format (1989), as
required by the City of La Quinta. There were no federal funds expended on this road improvement project
(John Freeland, Senior Engineer: Personal Communication: 1996). The City's Public Works Department was
the management lead for this project.
The project consisted of the grading and paving of 2,200 linear feet of roadway to connect Adams Street
from Westward Ho Drive, north to the existing improved portion of Adams Street. As part of this project, a
borrow area adjacent to the roadway was utilized to quarry fill dirt for the roadbed preparation.

There are previously -recorded archaeological sites adjacent to the west of the roadway (CA-RIV-2200). It
was anticipated that a continuation of subsurface cultural deposits would be found on the roadbed and in
the proposed quarry area. The boundaries of the undertaking are delineated on Figure 2.
The scheduling of the project provided only limited time to request a record search from the Eastern
Information Center and to perform the field survey and limited subsurface testing of one of the five sites
identified.
The geographical limits of the project area consisted of a total of 5.73 acres, a part of which was a linear
area 2,200 feet in length by 100 feet wide, and the borrow area of 500 feet by 500 feet. Area surveyed
for this investigation included a buffer slightly beyond the project boundaries.
The field survey and testing was conducted by Leslie Mouriquand, who served as Principal Investigator for
the City. Monitoring and artifact analysis was conducted by Leslie Mouriquand and Michael Hudson.
Statements of Qualifications are provided in Appendix A. This report was prepared by Leslie Mouriquand,
with the assistance of Michael Hudson.
SETTING
A. Natural Setting
The project site is within the Coachella Valley, an immense enclosed trough extending northward from the
Gulf of California (Chace and Reeves 1996:6-7). In the distant geologic past, the trough was isolated from
the gulf waters by the delta that formed at the mouth of the Colorado River. Elevations in the valley range
from 250 feet below mean sea level to above 6,000 feet above mean sea level within five miles of the
project site.
The project site is located in the mid -portion of the Coachella Valley, in south central Riverside 'County. The
general project location is shown on the USGS La Quinta quad map, in Figure 2. The project site is found
on a portion of Section 20, in Township 5 South, Range 7 East, San Bernardino Base Meridian. The total
project areas contains 5.73 acres consisting of a portion of a public street alignment and a portion of a
City -owned parcel. The Adams Street Extension Project site is located along a portion of the Adams Street
alignment between Westward Ho Drive and Miles Avenue. The associated borrow area is located at the
northeast corner of the intersection of Westward Ho Drive and Adams Street. These areas are within the
incorporated limits of the City of La Quinta.
The roadway portion of the project is situated along a relatively flat section alignment designated as road
right-of-way many years ago. The borrow area was located adjacent to the roadway, on an undisturbed
aeolian sand dune (or sand shadow) with gently rolling topography. The project site is located
approximately 300 feel: north the northern bank of the Whitewater River channel. Located between the
project borrow area and the drainage channel, slightly southeast, is the campus of the La Quinta High
School. To the north, east, and west of the project site are mostly undisturbed sand dunes extending for

some distance before the: built environment is encountered. An Imperial Irrigation District iJID) substation is
located at the southwesl: corner of the intersection of Adams Street and Westward Ho Drive.
The dunes support sparse vegetation. The historically dominant species was honey mesquite as indicated
by the 1904 Indio USGS 30' Quadrangle map (Figure 3). Most of the dunes on, and around the borrow site
have been invaded and partially stabilized by introduced weeds. Numerous reptilian species have been found
here including the federally endangered Coachella Valley Fringe -Toed lizard.
The soils present on the project site consist of Myoma fine sands. There are no naturally -occurring rock
outcroppings, however, very small fragments of several types of rock were noted. It was also noted that
previous improvements to Westward Ho Drive, along Adams Street, as well as the construction of the IID
substation included the importation of aggregate materials, of which some of this rock material was
evident along the pavement edges along Westward Ho Drive and Adams Street, south of the borrow site.
The current land use of the borrow site is that of unauthorized trespass by off -road vehicles, including
motorcycles. The area within the borrow site was relatively unmodified except for off -road vehicles. The
road alignment for Adams Street was used as a dirt road by all types of vehicles and pedestrian traffic.
The road alignment had been subject to construction and landscape -related debris dumping, in the recent
past.
B. Cultural Setting
1. Archaeological Overview
The early cultural history of the project site, as well as the entire California desert area, is most commonly
divided into five general cultural periods described by Claude Warren, in 1984. These periods consist of the
Lake Mojave (8,000 to 5,000 B.C.); the Pinto (5,000 to 2,000 B.C.); the Gypsum (2,000 B.C. to A.D.
500); the Saratoga Springs (A.D. 500 to 1,200); and the Protohistoric (A.D. 1,200 to historic). The
descriptions of these cultural periods is based almost entirely on the tool kits found at various sites.
By 10,000 to 8,000 B.C. it is thought that the California deserts were inhabited by early hunkers of large
game animals using spears and atlatis (an articulated spear throwing device). The name for the local
manifestation of the Lake Mojave period is the San Dieguito Period. San Dieguito materials have been
found on beaches, terraces above relic dry lake playas, and on terraces above large washes and major
water courses (Taylor 1987:6). The type of. sites found from this period consist of surface scatters of
flake and core lithic tools. No seed processing tools have been found indicating that subsistence was
primarily on hunting large game animals. The atlatl appears to have been the dominant weapon used in this
early period (Arkush 1990). To date, no inhumated burials are reported to have been found from this period
in the Coachella Valley.
The Pinto Period features a particular series of atlatl dart points. This period is named from the Pinto
series of atlatl dart points described by Amsden 0935), Rogers 0939), and Harrington (1957). Some seed
processing tools (manor and metates) are found at Pinto Period sites. The presence of the seed processing
tools indicate a new reliance on plant seeds. It is thought that the Pinto Period evolved from the earlier San
�.Ut, 024 11

Dieguito Period because of adaptation to the and climate at the end of the Pleistocene. Small groups of
people moved to the peripheral areas of the deserts and to oases. By 4,500 B.C., when the climate became
wetter, the desert areas were reoccupied by the mobile hunters and gatherers. A thousand years later, a
drought drove these people to the peripheral areas again (Warren 1984).
The Gypsum Period features an increased use of seed processing tools, as well as the appearance of
knives, scrapers, drills, choppers, shaft straighteners, incised slate and sandstone tablets and pendants.
Exotic shell beads have also been found in Gypsum sites. The earliest evidence of the mortar and pestle is
found at this time which suggests exploitation of the mesquite bean. The exotic materials found in the
desert sites suggest an increasing trade network with people from the California coast (Warren 1984).
The Saratoga Springs Period can be divided into as many as four distinct regional variations (Warren
1984:420). In the desert, the Saratoga Springs manifestation is labeled the Southern Desert variant, in
which influences from the lower Colorado River (Hakataya) people are seen. During this period, pottery is
introduced into the desert from western Arizona. At about 900 A.D. , brown, buff, and gray ceramic wares
appear in the desert IMay 1976). Projectile points found in this period include the Cottonwood and Desert
Side -notched. The points are smaller than those from earlier periods and indicate the introduction of the
bow and arrow to the desert (Warren 1984:420).
The Protohistoric Period finds the atlatl replaced by the bow and arrow. Desert Side -notched arrow points
are found as well as the Cottonwood types of points. Warren (1984:426) argues that there was a
continued spread of influences from the lower Colorado River area (known as the Patayan air Hakataya
culture), because of the consistent presence of buff and brown ware ceramics. In the Coachella Valley, the
people that are historically identified with the Protohistoric Period are the Desert Cahuilla. The Cahuilla
have probably been in the area between 1,000 and 3,000 years.
In 1978, Phil Wilke prepared an archaeological study of the prehistoric Cahuilla and their adaptation to the
periodic desiccation of the ancient lake located in the lower, or eastern, portion of the Coachella Valley.
Most of the archaeological sites found in the desert are related to the last stand of the lake, which
occurred between A.D. 1,300 and 1,500. The most comprehensive archaeological study conducted near
the Adams Street project site is that by Wilke. His work focuses on the late prehistoric occupation of the
shore area of the ancient lake. It was determined that during the final stand of the lake there was a dense
human population occupying the shoreline.
The shoreline fostered a marsh environment with abundant plants, fish, (razorback sucker and bonytail),
aquatic birds (especially mudhens), and shellfish available for consumption. Marsh vegetation included
cattails and bulrush. From the area just beyond the marsh zone, lowland purslane and goosefoot seeds
were collected. Honey mesquite and screwbean. Mesquite trees were found in thickets along the lake shore
dunes. Resources from the nearby mountains supplemented the local resources. There is some indication
that the lake shore was occupied year-round at some sites, and seasonally at others. It is thought that
because of the relative paucity of flaked stone tools, that fire -hardened wooden points were primarily used.
Fishing was accomplished by use of cordage nets and traps of various types. An abundance of Tizon Brown
Ware and Lower Colorado Buff Ware has been found at sites along the shoreline, as documented by
numerous site records and reports.
"•J U. 0216 13
It is commonly thought that the late prehistoric lakeshore people cremated their dead. Several cremation
sites have been found in the La Quinta area containing marine shell beads and pendants, ceramic sherds and
other personal items. To date there are no reported inhumations (burials) from this cultural period.
As the lake desiccated to the point that the usual lifeway could not be sustained, the people moved away
from the lake shore to other areas. This move required a shift in subsistence strategies and resource
exploitation. After the desert vegetation reestablished itself where the lake had once been, villages and
sites were reestablished on the desert floor as well. Mesquite groves were reestablished on the valley floor
and became the primary food resource.
In the past thirty years, or so, there have been numerous Late Prehistoric Period archaeological sites found
in La Quinta. Development pressures over the past fifteen years have resulted in most of these sites being
located through development -triggered archaeological surveys. An overall picture of prehistoric life in the La
Quinta area is beginning to emerge, however, most of what is currently known is limited to the last 700 to
1,000 years. Recently two sites possibly dating to the Early Prehistoric or Archaic Period have been
located in and near La Quinta (Love, Personal Communication: 1997), which may provide new information
and push the envelope of knowledge back in time.
2. Ethnographic Overview
The Desert Cahuilla inhabited most of the Coachella Valley, including La Quinta, in the ethnographic period.
The Desert Cahuilla are one of three regional divisions of the Cahuilla tribelet. The Desert Cahuilla spoke a
distinct dialect belonging to the Cupan subgroup of the Takic family of the Uto-Aztecan linguistic stock. A
sizable population of Cahuilla still reside in the Coachella Valley and adjacent areas.
Between 1855 and 1856 when the U.S. Land Office was conducting a railroad route survey, it was noted
that there were 14 Indian villages in the Coachella Valley at that time. The closest village to the Adams
Street project was approximately 3.5 miles to the west, in the present limits of the City of Indian Wells.
This was the village of Kavinic (Barrows 1967:34).
Most villages were established in the nearby canyons or on the alluvial fans where there was a reliable
source of water. Walk-in wells were hand -dug, where the ground water was shallow enough to permit.
These wells were designed with steps leading down into the well where canteens and of/a jars were filled
by hand. The wells were communally owned by the residents of a nearby village. Villages were usually
occupied by people of the same lineage, while adjacent lands were designated to specific clans, families,
and individuals (Bean 1978:575).
The Desert Cahuilla collected a large variety of plant species for food, medicine, and craft use. Honey
mesquite was the principal staple of their diet. Acorns, pinyon nuts, and cacti were seasonally collected
from the nearby hillsides and mountains. A variety of seeds, wild fruits and berries, tubers, roots, and
greens supplemented the diet. A marginal form of horticulture was practiced. Corn, beans, squashes, and
melons were cultivated in small garden plots (Lawton and Bean 1968). Most of the meat portion of their
diets came from rodents, rabbits and hares, lizards, snakes, insects, larvae, doves, quail, and waterfowl.
Mountain sheep and pronghorn were hunted using elaborate blinds and communal drives.

:.Uti, 027
The Desert Cahuilla are known for their coiled baskets, some featuring complex designs. Both utilitarian
and ceremonial baskets were made from local resources. Pottery vessels and containers were used for
storage and cooking. Stone and wooden mortars and pestles were commonly used, as were stone manos
and metates. Bows and arrows were made of willow and mesquite woods, while arrows were fashioned
from cane and other hardwoods. Often, arrowpoints were simply the fire -hardened sharpened ends of the
arrows.
In the mid-1800's European diseases resulted in a sharp decline in population among the Cahuilla and
neighboring Indian peoples. Many young Indian people left their villages for work on farms and ranches
located across southern California.
3. Historic Overview
It is thought that the Cahuilla were probably aware of and affected by the intrusion of Euroamericans prior
to the de Anza exploration which passed through the region in 1774. It is said that while searching for an
efficient overland route from Mexico to Monterey, the de Anza party passed through the territory of the
Wiastum Cahuilla clan without first asking permission and were subsequently shot at by the Indians who
considered the Spaniards as intruders. The earliest documented direct contact with the Indians in the
Coachella Valley occurred in 1823, when Romero led an expedition for the Mexican government into the
desert to establish a nevv route to the Colorado River. Romero and his men following Indian trails, stopped
at Agua Caiiente for water (Bean and Bourgeault 1989:81-85). A possibility of earlier contact exists,
however documentation is lacking at this time. .
In 1853, William Blake, a government surveyor and geologist, wrote a detailed description of the geology
of the Coachella Valley. He included information about the locations of Cahuilla villages, native horticulture,
oral traditions, and the general environment. The ancient lake became known as Blake's Sea due to
Blake's interpretation of the geology of the lake bed and how it was formed. Blake's was the first
published description of the lake (Nordland 1978:111; Johnston 1972:617; Robinson 1948:149).
Between 1855 and 1856, the U.S. Land Office surveyed the valley for townships and sections and
confirmed many of Blake's observations. Indian villages, agricultural fields, wells, and irrigation works were
recorded by this survey.
In 1863, smallpox and measles occurred resulting in the deaths of many Cahuilla. As their population
decreased, it became increasingly difficult to maintain their traditional lifeways. The Cahuilla became
increasingly dependent upon American culture and economy. Subsistence was a combination of traditional
activities and wage labor. Between 1875 and 1891, ten reservations were established by Congress for
the Cahuilla (Bean 1978:584).
Since 1891, the economic, political, and social aspects of Cahuilla life have been supervised, in varying
degrees, by the federal government. This has resulted, over time, in the decline of traditional lifeways, in
particular, religious and political practices. A resurgence prompted by elder members of the Cahuilla
people to impart their Language and traditions to their young people has resulted in a renewed interest in
their heritage. Local tribal councils now publicly express a concern for preservation or mitigation of cultural
and historic sites found in the Coachella Valley.

2. Records Search Results
A record search was requested of the Eastern Information Center (EIC), located at the University of
California, at Riverside, on March 11, 1996. The results of this search are contained in Appendix B. A one
mile radius of the project site was researched by the EIC. The EIC reports that 41 archaeological surveys
are recorded within the radius of the Adams Street project site. The project site had not been previously
surveyed. Of the 41 surveys, the EIC indicates that there are 26 prehistoric archaeological :sites and 3
historic sites recorded. These sites were recorded between 1974 and 1995. Approximately 50% of the
radius area has been surveyed. The prehistoric sites tend to cluster along the banks of the Whitewater
River channel. An assessment of the record search report and the site records provided by the EIC
determined that there were in reality only 18 prehistoric sites, and 7 historic sites (2 with a prehistoric
component). There are updates and supplements for several sites that were apparently counted as
individual sites.
A review of the site records indicated that 17 sites containing pottery sherds, and many of the sites
containing faunal bones and fire -affected rock, as well. Of the 7 historic sites, one is a dirt road which
appears on the USGS 1941 15' map, five represent farming operations - two with a prehistoric
component, and one can dump with a prehistoric component.
In addition to the site recordation maps and records, the EIC reviewed the following sources, with negative
results:
* The National Register of Historic Places Index
* Office of Historic Preservation, Archaeological Determinations of Eligibility
(listed through 4111195)
* Office of Historic Preservation, Directory of Properties in the Historic
Property Data File (dated 3131195)
* USGS Palm Desert 15' (1959) and Indio 30' (1904) topographic maps
The author reviewed the archaeological site map housed at the City of La Quinta, the listing of historical
sites contained in the City's General Plan, and archaeological reports on file with the City. No additional
cultural resources were noted from these sources. However, a review of the Bureau of Land Management
Historical Indices of land grants listed a Homestead Entry Patent for the parcel that includes the Adams
Street project area. The homestead consisted of 80 acres located in the northwest and southwest portions
of the southwest 114 (it Section 20, Township 5 south, Range 7 east. The patent number is 984433,
approved by the Government Land Office on August 26, 1926. The Serial File Number Is LA 040257. An
earlier attempt to claim 320 acres in Section 20, which would have included the project site, was applied
for in 1912 as a Desert Land Entry, but was later canceled in 1914. The applicants in both land claims are
not known at this time.
The collection of historical maps housed at the Community Development Department was reviewed for any
information regarding the dirt road crossing the project site andl or prehistoric or ethnographic site
locations. The following maps were reviewed with results indicated:

RESEARCH DESIGN
Research designs link theory, known information, research goals, and methods together. Predictive models
are elements of a research design applicable to archaeological surveys, that are structured predictions
concerning the types and locations of archaeological phenomena anticipated in a particular area.
Application of the above definitions of a research design to the Adams Street Project centered on the
prediction that there would be a subsurface component to the largest site recorded on the project area
(CA-RIV-5840); that this site is related to, or is a continuation of CA-RIV-2200. CA-RIV-2200 is located on
the west side of Adams Street, straddling the Westward Ho Drive alignment. This site is described as a
"sparse artifact scatter with several concentrations of material, especially potsherds." Artifacts observed
at this site include a mano fragment, fire -affected rock, burnt bone fragments, a possible hammer stone,
and numerous pottery sherds. These items indicate a camp site along the north bank of the river channel.
The present alignment of the channel follows very closely its prehistoric route. Given this information, it
was predicted that similar artifactual constituents would be found on the Adams Street Project.
The theoretical basis of the proposed research suggests that where there is a major wash or waterway,
and sufficient food resources, both permanent and temporary habitation and processing sites will be
located. It was also predicted that the permanent sites will have some depth and midden, whale the more
temporary sites will often have only a surface component.
This localized research paradigm fits into the emerging regional paradigm of prehistoric adaptation to
changing environmental factors, the inundations of the ancient lake, and outside influences from the lower
Colorado River and western Arizona cultures.
The records search indicated that the study area has not previously been surveyed, and no other
archaeological studies have been conducted that would guide additional research. However, inference from
CA-RIV-2200 suggests the development of the following research questions:
1. What is the time frame and length of occupation of the study area sites?
2. What local and distant resources were used and how were they used?
3. Are there any indicators of population density for the study area sites?
18
031
4. Is the site are of CA-RIV-2200 continued onto the project boundaries?
It was hypothesized that the artifactual material and other site components would provide some answers
for the above questions.
Additional research design took into consideration the possible location of certain types of sites considered
as described by Lowell John Bean, Sylvia Brakke Vane, and Jackson Young, in The Cahuilla Landscape: The
Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains, (1991)._These site include: sacred sites (power sites, cremation
sites, mountain tops, caves, rockshelters, springs, or rock art sites); ritual sites 1 burial and cremations,
places for prayer and meditation, healing sites, shaman training sites, places where materials for scared
uses werelare gathered, ritual objects such as quartz crystals or shamsn's bundles, or ground figures); rock
art sites; trails; villages; plant collection areas; sites frequented by desert tortoises, desert bighorn sheep,
and other animals of importance to the Cahuilla; springs and other sources of water; sites named in
traditional songs and other literature; and trading, visiting, recreational, or processing sites.
METHODS
Fieldwork at the Adams Street Project site consisted of a systematic reconnaissance survey of the
designated borrow area and Adams Street alignment of designated for improvements. In addition,
archaeological site recordation and mapping, surface collection, test unit excavation, and monitoring
activities were conducted.
The reconnaissance survey was conducted on March 31 and April 1, 1996, by Leslie Mouriquand. A total
of 12 hours were required to complete the survey. The entire project area was inspected in systematic
transects averaging 2 meters apart. The survey began at the southwest corner of the borrow area and
proceeded in a north -south progression, eastward across the parcel. In addition, the Adams Street
alignment, including right-of-way, was surveyed in 2 meter transects in an north -south direction, westward
across the alignment. Each isolated resource or site was marked by pin -flags. These artifacts were then
mapped and collected separately. Ground visibility was excellent in the study area, as vegetation was
sparse. The survey was conducted on clear, dry days, with little wind. However, during the nights, winds
blew that moved sheets of sand across the project area in a southeast trending direction. All cultural
resources over 45 years of age were considered for their potential historical value in compliance with State
Historic Preservation Office Guidelines, and requirements contained in Appendix K of the California
Environmental Quality Act Guidelines.
The project definitions used for archaeological sites, historic resources, and isolated artifacts are those
contained in the California Archaeological Inventory Handbook for Completing An Archaecloo ical Site
Record, distributed by the California SHPO.
Data gathering methods in the field consisted of surface survey, trowel testing, hand excavation of a test
unit, and inspection of road cuts and dune cuts.
Figure 4 shows the project boundaries and the transects followed during the survey. The area surveyed for
use as the borrow site consisted of a relatively flat-topped sand dune sparsely covered with introduced
.56 032"
weed types of vegetation. The top of the dune area was elevated above Westward Ho Drive and the
Adams Street alignment. The street alignment portion of the project consisted of a dirt road that had been
in use for some time. A well -packed roadbed was present for most of the alignment. The right-of-way on
both sides of the alignment consisted of dune cuts, level areas, and depressed areas. Along the east side of
the road alignment, a utility line had been installed in the recent past which disturbed a linear area on the
shoulder of the roadway. The right-of-way along the southern edge of the borrow area, adjacent to the
northern edge of Westward Ho Drive had been disturbed by off-street parking for events held at the La
Quinta High School, located on the south side of Westward Ho Drive.
Isolates and sites were recorded using tape measure and pocket compass. A datum point was established
at the southeastern corner of the cement utility box which is located at the northeastern corner of Adams
Street and Westward He Drive.
In an attempt to determine whether the clay feature in Locus 0 was a floor surface, a test unit was
excavated. The unit measured 1 x 1 meters and was hand excavated with trowels and brushes. Locus D
was a feature containing an oval shaped area of hardened clay, thought to possibly be a structure floor.
Two hours were spent excavating and screening soil through 118 inch wire mesh screen. Maintaining 10 cm
line levels in the test unit proved difficult in the loose sand on the side of the dune. The unit was excavated
to 30 cm. There was no observable stratigraphic change in soil color or texture. No artifacts were
discovered subsurface, below the feature or below the southern edge of the feature. One pot sherd was
found at the surface adjacent to the eastern edge of the clay feature. Several of the perimeter clay
fragments appeared to have a smoothed, slightly curved edge (much like a rim sherd) some with small
uniform (1 cm diameter) holes. Some of the clay fragments appeared blackened from contact with fire. Off
of the western edge of the feature was a small amount of charcoal floating to the surface. There did not
appear to be a fire pit or depression in the feature itself. The feature appears too small to have been a
house floor. Possibilities include storage structure floor, plastered work area, or other use. Close inspection
of the collected clay fragments reveal no cultural indicators such as fingerprints, markings or deliberate
decoration. Examination of the holes did not give any clues to function. Figure 5 shows the area examined
by the test unit relative to the project boundaries.
Other areas tested included only minor trowel scraping at the four other sites and at several oil the isolate
locations. No subsurface resources or indicators were observed during the scrapings.
The five sites were recorded using the DPR 523A and 523C forms, as well as the City of La Quinta
Archaeological Site Management Data form. Sketch maps were made in the field of each site and its'
components. Photographs were taken with a photographic record kept for each site. Artifacts were
collected for each site and kept in separate labeled containers. Later, the artifacts were sorted, identified,
assigned curatorial numbers, and photographed. An Artifact Record was completed for each site and the
isolates. Artifacts and samples collected during the monitoring phase were also catalogued. The materials
collected, photographs, filed notes, and other documents are curated at the Community Development
Department, City of La Quinta.
There were no problems or constraints encountered while conducting this research.

REPORT OF FINDINGS
During the reconnaissance survey, there were five prehistoric archaeological sites and 12 isolates identified
and recorded. The recordation forms and site maps are contained in the Confidential Appendix attached to
this report. A description of each site and the isolates follows.
CA-RIV-5840
This prehistoric site was the first site located during the project survey. The site was assigned the project
resource name of Adams Street Extension Project No. 95-04 - Site #1, or Adams Street #1 for short. It is
located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Westward Ho Drive and Adams Street. There are five
distinct loci to the site that are spread across an area measuring 127 feet by 30 feet. The site is slightly
over one mile west of the ancient Lake Cahuilla's highest formally acknowledged shoreline (42 feet above
mean sea level).
Soils at the site consist of Myoma fine sand (MaD) with a 5 to 10 % slope factor. Five percent of the soil
composition is riverwash. The soil is described as having slow runoff, slight erosion hazard, and high
blowsand hazard. The Munsell color description of the sand between 0 and 18 inches in depth is light olive
gray (5Y 612). From 18 to 24 inches deep the soil color formula is 5Y 612 and 5Y 512. MaD soil type
features mica inclusions, is loose, and has a clear wavy boundary. From 0 to 18 inches, the sand also
contains fine to very fine loam (10YR to 5Y). The river channel, located to the nearby south, is Coachella
fine sand (CpA) with 0 to 2 % slope, and not the expected riverwash IRA) found in other desert washes
and dry river channels (LISDA Soil Conservation Service- Coachella Valley).
The subsurface cultural deposit extended just below the surface for CA-RIV-5840. There was no
observable midden as the site soils had not been chemically or visually altered by human habitation. There
was no visible strata at the site, when a test unit was excavated in Locus D. Trowel scraping did not result
in any observable midden areas either. Similar to CA-RIV-2200, located to the west, across Adams Street,
there were occasional naturally occurring thin, dark lenses of sand and silt. All but just a few pottery
sherds were found on the surface of the site. Those sherds found below the surface were found at about
the 1 cm level or less. The lack of stratigraphy in the site indicates seasonal habitation for a brief time, or
brief successive periods of time, with limited activities occurring here.
The material culture recovered at CA-RIV-5840 totaled 31 artifacts, of which 29 were pottery sherds, 1 a
lithic flake, and 1 a granite pestle fragment. The pestle fragment is broken at both ends, but has the
characteristic roundedness of large pestles. The rounded shaft is smooth.
Several very small pieces of pressure flaked lithic debitage were recorded from the surface of Locus C. The
lithic material included quartz and metavolcanic materials.
Fire affected rock was observed in Loci A and E. This rock is granitic and has been subjected to intense
direct heat.
23
. � 036
The ceramics from the site consist of two identifiable types, Tizon Brown ware and Lower Colorado Buff
ware (Salton Buff and Colorado Buff), and possibly a third gray ware type. Only one rim sherd was found
at the site during the initial investigation. Most sherds are too small to indicate vessel form with accuracy.
The Tizon Brown ware found at the site exhibits the typical mica, quartz, and feldspar inclusions naturally
occurring in the clay. The surface of several sherds exhibit the shiny mica inclusions. This type of ceramic
ware has been dated to between A.D. 700 and 1900, and widely occurs throughout southern California,
southern Nevada, and western Arizona. Jars and bowls are the most common vessel forms found in this
ware. The surface color of Tizon Brown ware ranges from tan to dark brown. The clay is found in pockets
near springs and stream beds where granitic outcroppings have decomposed (Arkush 1990:21)• Most of
the Tizon sherds from CA-Riv-5840 have a smooth exterior. All of them are plain without any identifiable
form of decoration. Thickness ranges from 2 mm to 6 mm. This pottery type is found in most prehistoric
sites in the lower Coachella Valley.
The Lower Colorado Buff ware type was also recovered from CA-RIV-5840. Both Salton Buff and Colorado
Buff are present. Waters (1982b) places Colorado Buff ware between A.D. 1500 to 1900. However,
Cordell (1984:98-100) points out chronological problems associated with the ceramics of the lower
Patayan area. Further, with the presence of both the Salton Buff and Colorado Buff wares at the
neighboring site (CA-RIV-2200) which is thought not to have been occupied after A.D. 1500, an earlier
date of ca. A.D. 1000 is suggested for the introduction of Colorado Buff ware into the valley (Arkush
1990:23). In attempting to assign a date to CA-Riv-5840, it is suggested that this site is contemporary
with, if not a part of, CA-RIV-2200, thus, CA-RIV-5840 was probably occupied between A.D. 1000 and
1500 as evidenced by the presence of Colorado Buff ware. No other diagnostic indicators are present to
suggest dates of occupation, except charcoal. Charcoal was collected from Locus D. However, funds are
not yet available from the City of La Quinta for radiocarbon dating.
A large portion of this site was destroyed by the quarrying of sand for use as fill material in the road bed
for Adams Street. It is suspected that there are additional subsurface cultural deposits within the
remaining dune structure. The limits of the quarrying dictated the depth to which the dune was to be
tested and investigated during this study. The quarrying was performed by one paddle -wheel scraper taking
4 inch cuts with each pass.
During this monitoring of this site, a scraper pass exposed charcoal adjacent to the east of the site. The
charcoal was examined and a sample collected. Fire affected rock was exposed with the next scraper pass.
Trowel testing did not locate any finished artifacts or other materials. The next scraper pass did not
expose any further charcoal or cultural materials. The sand collected during these scraper runs was
inspected as it was applied to the road bed. No cultural materials were observed, except for small bits of
charcoal.
CA-RIV-5841
CA-RIV-5841 is a sparse surface scatter of pottery sherds located in a hardpan dune depression. Three
sherds (1 rim, 2 bodies) of Tizon Brown ware were found scattered among fire affected rock, and
unshaped burnt clay lumps. No other artifacts were observed. This site was assigned the field number of
Adams Street #2. The site is located just north of CA-RIV-5840.
24
.Lti, 037
The soils at CA-RIV-5841 are the same as CA-RIV-5840. There was no evidence of midrlen or any
subsurface cultural deposits at this site. Trowel scraping did not reveal any depth to the site. CA-RIV-5841
was destroyed during construction activities to Adams Street. No additional cultural resources were
observed during the monitoring phase for this site.
CA-RIV-5842
This site is located just outside the borrow area, but within the study area. The site consists of a hearth,
pottery, a mano, and lithic debitage. A dirt road transects the site which lies within a small dune structure.
The site is eroding out of the dunes cut banks and up from the dirt road bed. The dirt road is often used by
off -road vehicles which have exposed the site. There is only sparse vegetation around the site. Charcoal
and fire affected rock are floating to the surface of the road bed. A sample of the charcoal was collected
for future testing.
Tizon Brown ware comprise the 27 pottery sherds collected from the surface of the site. A rhyollite
bifacial mano was collected from the surface of the site. The mano is largely intact with only a couple of
edges missing. No subsurface testing was conducted on this site, as it was just outside the area to be
disturbed by the quarrying activities. However, the artifacts were collected as it was feared that the off -
road vehicle use of the dirt road passing through the site would either destroy the artifacts or they would
disappear. It is recommended that the site be tested as it appears that subsurface cultural deposits are
present.
CA-RIV-5843
This site is a pottery sherd scatter located on the eastern edge of the Adams Street right-of-way, north of
CA-RIV-5841. A total of seven sherds (2 rims and 5 bodies) were found on the surface. Four sherds appear
to be a gray ware, and three are Tizon Brown ware. The rim sherds are a gray ware. This study is referred
to as Adams Street #4 in the field notes and records.
RIV-5843 had been impacted by landscaping debris and vehicles along the dirt road alignment. Trowel
scraping did not expose any subsurface cultural deposits, midrlen, or observable stratigraphy.
The site was destroyed by the construction activities to Adams Street. No further artifacts were observed
at this site during the monitoring phase.
CA-RIV-5844
Adams Street #5 was assigned the State Trinomial CA-RIV-5844. The site consist of a pottery scatter of
three sherds on the surface. The site was found on the shoulder of the dirt road alignment for Adams
Street, in an undisturbed area, north of CA-RIV-5843. All three sherds are Tizon Brown ware.
CA-RIV-5844 was also destroyed by road construction activities. No additional artifacts or resources were
observed during the monitoring phase.

ISOLATES
A total of twelve isolated artifacts (isolates) were found within the project boundaries during the field
survey. Each isolate was recorded on OPR 523A forms. A copy of each form is in the Confidential
Appendix. Each isolate was collected and curated at the City of La Quinta Community Development
Department. The twelve isolates are as follows:
#1 one pottery sherd
#2 two pieces of jasper debitage
#3 one sherd in association with fire affected rock (FAR)
#4 one pottery sherd (rim with fire cloud)
#5 FAR with charcoal
#6 one pottery sherd (possible Tizon brown ware)
#7 grinding stone fragment
#8 one pottery sherd (possibly Tizon brown ware)
#9 lithic point (white quartz)
#10 one pottery sherd (possibly Tizon brown ware)
#11 one pottery sherd
#12 lithic flake from cobble
OISCUSSIONIINTERPRETATION
The results of this investigation as they relate to specific topics and questions presented in the Research
Design section, do not shed new light, but rather additional light on the prehistoric activities along the La
Quinta segment of the Whitewater River. The time frame and length of occupation of the sites within the
project boundaries cannot be determined without radiocarbon dating and additional investigation. However,
it is possible to place the sites into the Late Prehistoric Period simply because of the presence of pottery.
There is not enough data to estimate the length of occupation at the sites as the investigation did not
reveal any stratigraphy and did not exhaust the subsurface cultural deposits probably present at RIV-5840
and RIV-5842. Future investigation at RIV-5840 and 5842 might uncover data that will answer the
question of length of occupation. Since no faunal bone material was observed or recovered from the project
sites no statement can be made regarding seasonally of occupation at this point.
Two basic resource material types - lithic and ceramic - were found in the project sites. The lithic resources
found at the site consist of both locally obtained and imported rock materials not found in the immediate
site area. There was evidence of lithic workshop activity in Locus C of RIV-5840 with the small fragments
of pressure flaked quartz and metavolcanic debitage. Isolate #2 consisted of 2 pieces of gold/brown jasper
with percussion scarring. Isolate #9 is a tip of a white quartz point, and Isolate #12 is a lithic flake from a
cobble. A rhyollite bifacial mano was collected from RIV-5842 and a fragment of a stone pestle from RIV-
5840. Fire affected rock (FAR) was found in Loci A and E of RIV-5840, RIV-5841, RIV-5842, Isolate #3 ,
and Isolate #5. This collection of lithic material suggests limited lithic workshop activity (probably
refinement), and limited food processing (grinding, pounding, and cooking).
Ceramic resources are found in the form of fired pottery sherds and unfired clay lumps. The distribution of
pottery sherds was fairly consistent within the project area, with all sites and seven of the isolates
26
.,`6 039
containing pottery sherds. All of the sherds appear to be of local clay and temper. All sherds are
undecorated plainware with two types identified as being Tizon Brown and Lower Colorado Buff. Locus D
of RIV-5840 consisted of a clay floor -like feature, the function of which is unclear. The only other ceramic
resource observed on the project site are the unfired clay lumps found in RIV-5841.
The third research question pertains to indicators of population density for the project area. Population
density is typically determined by the type and size of a site, the type and number of artifacts, and the
seasonally and quantity of faunal remains present for which population estimates can be extrapolated. The
Adams Street sites have not provided enough data to be able to estimate population density beyond the
simple observation that a small population occupied the project area. Recent investigations along the
Whitewater River indicate that there was a series of small campsites dotting the river channel that were
probably occupied by family groups with a general association with a core village site. In this case, the
core village site may have been Kavinic, located near Point Happy, approximately 1 mile west of the project
site.
The final research question identified for this investigation is whether the sites in the project boundaries,
especially RIV-5840, are a continuation of RIV-2200. RIV-2200 extends eastward to Adams Street. It is
possible that RIV-2200 extends eastward onto the borrow area of the Adams Street Project. The obvious
fact that the boundaries of prehistoric sites are not defined by historic political or artificial boundaries
coupled with the knowledge that similar types of artifacts were recovered from both sites, suggests that
RIV-5840 may be a continuation of RIV-2200. It is possible that the sites along both banks of the river
channel may be a fairly continuous band or zone of interconnected sites. As additional archaeological
investigation is conducted along the river channel, it appears likely that the continuous band of sites may
have been the case.
The Adams Street Project sites, when placed in a regional context, would not be considered unique, but
rather common sites of the Late Prehistoric Period. There lack of uniqueness does not mean that these
sites are not important. In addition, caution should be interjected into this assessment as two of the sites
have not been completely investigated. There are additional subsurface cultural deposits present as
indicated by the frequent exposure of artifacts at the surface of the borrow site by blowing winds and
shifting sand. On a local level, the project sites provide additional information regarding settlement along
the river channel, and the types of activities conducted along the river. This additional information
contributes to the understanding of local and regional prehistory. There are no hot springs in the near
vicinity of the project.
MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Inventory
The inventory component of this investigation consisted of a records and literature search by the Eastern
Information Center, and by the author. Files and reports housed at the City of La Quinta and in the author's
personal library were reviewed for pertinent information regarding the project site and nearby areas.
Following the record search, an intensive field search to locate and record prehistoric and historic sites was
conducted. Five prehistoric archaeological sites and twelve isolated artifacts were Located and
documented. This investigation is complete to the point that the Adams Street Extension Project disturbed
27
the road alignment and borrow area. Follow up monitoring of the borrow area has resulted in the collection
of additional artifacts (pottery sherds and a lithic point), indicating additional subsurface cultural deposits
in the dune areas.
Additional management action recommended for the project sites should include continued monthly
monitoring and documentation for cultural material exposed to the surface. Prior to any development or
further quarrying of the borrow area, additional field survey and testing are recommended, with all
trenching and grading activities monitored by a qualified archaeological monitor. It is further recommended
that the City of La Quinta make provisions for radiocarbon and other appropriate chronometric testing of
charcoal samples recovered during this investigation, and for future datable samples recovered from the
project site, in order to provide important chronological information.
Evaluation
In giving consideration to the types of sites deemed sensitive to Native American values as outlined by
Bean, Vane, & Young (1991), the following observations are offered. None of the five sites or twelve
isolates appear to meet the definition of sacred sites, such as cremations, mountain tops, caves, rock
shelters, springs, or rock art sites. There is no evidence , to date, of any ritual association with the project
sites. No trails or migration routes were identified on or near the project. This does not mean that they did
not exist at one time. It is possible that the proximity of the project sites to the village of Kavinic may lend
significance. Village sites with the most recent ones considered the most sacred and sensitive because of
the direct historical connection with living people, would possibly impart significance to peripheral sites.
The village of Kavinic was occupied into the mid 1800's, for which direct historical connections with
particular families might be made (Chace and Reeves 1996:19-20).
There are no identifiable collection areas - or micro ecosystems- remaining on the project site. There are
indications that in the past, there were groves of mesquite on and near the project site. If mesquite was
present on the project site then significance from a Native American value would exist.
Sites frequented by direct tortoises, big horn sheep, and other important animals to the Cahuilla are
considered significant. There was no evidence of tortoise, sheep, or any other significant animal on the
project site, thus no significance can be assigned from this value.
Springs and other sources of water had sacred connotations. It is believed that hot springs are connected
underground with sources of power, which can be dangerous, but also can be tapped for healing purposes.
There are no hot springs in the near vicinity of the project. The project sites are near the north bank of the
Whitewater River channel which provided at least a seasonal lifeline. It seems reasonable to assume that
the river was considered significant to the prehistoric inhabitants in the area.
The project sites may have been where people came to trade, visit, recreate, and/or process food. Such
places are considered :significant sites. There is evidence of food processing in the project sites, thus
Native American values would attribute significance to the site on the project.

CEQA Significance Criteria:
The criteria used to determine significance for the prehistoric sites located within the Adams Street Project
site are those contained in Appendix K of CEQA.
Criterion A: Is the resource associated with an event or person of: (1) recognized significance in California
or American history, or (2) recognized scientific importance in prehistory.
In response to Criterion A, the archaeological sites on the Adams Street project site are not associated
with a particular event or person of significance in prehistory as there were no written records or other
evidence recovered from the sites that can be connected to any identifiable individual or event.
Criterion B: Can the resource provide information which is both of demonstrable public interest and useful
in addressing scientifically consequential and reasonable or archaeological research questions.
In response to Criterion B, the types of artifacts recovered from the Adams Street Project sites consist of
commonly found pottery sherds, lithic points, fire -affected rocks, and implements. The floor -like feature
found in Locus D may contribute new information regarding daily life in the Late Prehistoric Period (with
additional investigation of RIV-5840), and is potentially significant because of the potential for
contributing new information.
Criterion C: Does the resource have a special or particular quality such as oldest, best example, largest, or
last surviving example of its kind.
In response to Criterion C, the Adams Street Project archaeological sites, while undoubtedly contributing to
the general knowledge about daily and seasonal life during the Late Prehistoric Period, are not the oldest,
best example, largest, or last surviving example of camp sites in the La Quinta area.
Criterion D: Is the resource at least 100 years old and possesses substantial stratigraphic integrity.
In response to Criterion D, the Adams Street Project sites are obviously older than 100 years, however, the
stratigraphic integrity has been compromised by off -road vehicles, pedestrians, and the effects of blowing
sand which tends to cover and uncover archaeological sites. Trowel testing, test excavation, and grading
activities done during this investigation did not expose any identifiable stratigraphy within the project area.
Colorado Buff pottery sherds found at the project sites place the occupancy at between A.D. 1,000 and
1500.
Criterion E: Does the resource involve important research questions that historical research has shown can
be answered only with archaeological methods.
In response to Criterion E, there has been no formal research design developed, to date, for the project area
that focuses on specific research questions. Archaeological investigation in the Coachella Valley has been
done for only approximately twenty years, and relatively little is known about the prehistoric: lifeways in
comparison with what is known ethnographically. The development of a research design is urgently needed
to guide current and future archaeological investigations.
, .Ii( 042 29
A determination of significance can only partially be made as two of the project sites have only been
partially investigated due to the limits of the project. Future investigation of these sites may necessitate
revision to preliminary statements made in this report, or may provide additional details to substantiate this
report.

We received your request on March 14, 1996 for a cultural resources records search for the project designated
Adams Street Extension Project located in Section 20 T.5S, R.7E, SBBM, in the city of la Quinta in Riverside
County. We have reviewed our site records, maps, and manuscripts against the location map you provided.
Our records indicate that a cultural resources survey has not been conducted on the project area. Forty-five cultural
resources survey reports are available that are adjacent to or within a one -mile radius of the projject area. These
reports are listed on the attachment entitled "Archeological Reports" and are available upon request at $0.15/page
plus $7.50 per 1/2 hour. The KEYWORD section of each citation lists the geographic area;, quad name, listing of
trinomials (when identified), report number in our manuscript files (MF #), and the number of pages per report.
No archaeological sites are known within the project boundaries; however, our records indicate that 26
archaeological sites have been recorded within a one mile radius of the project area. Three historic properties have
also been recorded within a. one mile radius of your project area. Our designations for these properties are P-33-
7263, P-33-7262, P-33-7264. Copies of the site and HRI records are included for your study needs.
The above information is reflected on the enclosed map. Areas that are shaded in yellow indicate areas that have
been surveyed. Numbers in pencil indicate the report number in our manuscript files (MF #). Areas in red show
the location of cultural resources, and their corresponding numbers in black represent the state trinomial. An isolate
that has not been assigned a P# is indicated by a red SA (Single artifact), and an isolate and/or not fully documented
cultural resource by a green (Primary) number.
In addition to the California Historical Resources Information System, the following were reviewed:
The National Register of Historic Places Index: None of the properties or sites are listed.
Office of Historic Preservation, Archaeological Determinations of Eligibility (listed through 04/11/95):
None.
Office of Historic Preservation, Directory of Properties in the Historic Property Data File (dated
03/31/95): None.
A review of USGS Palm Desert 15'(1959) and Indio 30' (1904) topographic maps indicated no
historic features or sites. The review of the General Land Office plat map for T.5S, R.7E, (1856)

indicated that a historic road was present. If this feature can be located and it is over 45 years
old, it would need to be included in the inventory of cultural resources using the appropriate
forms. A copy of the GLO plat map is included for your information.
This statement does not constitute a negative declaration of impact. This statement reports only known
archaeological materials on or in the vicinity of the property in question. The presence of culturalresources on the
property cannot be ruled out until a systematic survey is conducted.
State and federal law requires that if any cultural resources are found during construction, work is to stop and the
lead agency and a qualified archaeologist be consulted to determine the importance of the find.
As the Information Center for Riverside County, it is necessary that we receive a copy of al I archaeological reports
and site information pertaining to this county in order to maintain our map and manuscript files. Site location data
provided with this records search are not to be used for reports unless the information is within the project
boundaries. This information is confidential.

RE: LaQuinta Historic Resources Survey
Second Progress Report
11F 2 n
i
DEF; lEN7
Included are copies of 10 forms generated for the Second Progress Report. The: forms were in
effect "typed" rather than computer generated. There are hardware compatibility issues (printer)
with the Dimitri software. It is not compatible with the newer DeskJet printers. We apprised Jan
Wooley of this last week when we called to discuss the issue. She offered to extend the report
deadline until May 1.
We decided to prepare the forms the "old-fashioned" way and submit them in order to get
feedback on them rather than waiting until May. We will work on generating the forms directly
by the computer for the next report.
We are submitting 10 Primary Records. As we compile more research and complete the
fieldwork we will be evaluating the resources in terms of significance and will be: able to make
comparisons among resource types. This will result in a number of "Building, Structure, Object"
records to supplement the Primary Records.
The preliminary database and a working map of the Cove will be transmitted to you under
separate cover next week.

A good example of Spanish Eclectic tract homes built in this neighborhood in 1935. This `I" shaped house
has a very low-pitched red file roof, with stained vertical wood siding within the gables --an original feature.
The walls are stucco. Also original is the rustic -looking wood door (left of center) with "Z" timbering and
what appears to be a decorative steel or iron plate that covers a peep hole. Sash windows also are original (a
pair right of center, and one centered in the right wing), but the original wooden garage doors still existing at
some of these models are absent from the left wing; a plain stucco wall is here instead. Characteristic of
these houses is a central open "court" at front, with only one small projecting wall (from the garage side) to
slightly enclose it. To the right of the house is a two car carport with a roof taller than the house. It is
obvious an effort was Horde to match the carport with the style of the house, however the carport looks
excessively large next to the older petite house. The yard (except for the cinder block fence at back)
landscaping complements the rustic appearance of this house, with its sandy forefront, grass, palm trees and
few other plants.

With low-pitched red tile roof, stained wood at the gable end, and plaster walls, this residence was designed
to resemble older neighborhood homes. Though more simple in plan --it is rectangular with a newer addition
at back --the gable detail matches original 1935 houses. Its smooth squat chimney also resembles other older
homes. The front has a simple extended roof porch at the north half (with open eave); a large 8-paned metal
casement window is at right, and the entry with steel security door at left. To the far left of the front wall is a
6-paned casement window. The north facade of the house is visible from the road. The chimney here, which
is left of center, is of smooth stucco with stepped shoulders, and 8-paned casement window to The right.
Attached at west (back) is a newer addition with shed roof and large sliding window. A shed in back has a
combination of brick and board -and -batten siding, and a shed roof of corrugated metal The landscaping is
simple yet shows attention to detail, with dirt drive, concrete walk to door, wood beams that separate grass
from the pedestrian dirt walk, a creeping vine at the front wall, and tree, bush and flowers at the south
border.

Basically "L" shaped, this early tract home is one of a number in The Cove that is Spanish Eclectic with
some Pueblo Revival details. The roof is multi -level shed covered with red tile, and stucco walls. The long
part of the "L" makes up the back and side of house. This side, facing east, holds three vigas underneath the
slanting roof line, and a large window space below (now filled in with newer metal sliding window, wood at
either side, and shutters) with massive wood lintel. A front porch with secondary dropped roof runs parallel
to the long wing, and is connected perpendicularly by foot of the "L", which has its own narrow porch. The
roof here is dropped as well, but higher than porch roof. At ends of porch roofs is typical tract home stained
wood under gable (here, half -gable). The north wall, or foot end, has a smooth stucco chimney at center, and
is met on right by another down -slanting roof. A single sash window with shutters is in this mall wall next
to chimney. A room size addition is connected at right, and is obviously different with its nonmatching
wood and stucco siding, and sliding window. The yard is well maintained with grass, a front tree, and
numerous bushes close to the house obscuring the front windows and doors.

A good example of Spanish Eclectic style tract home built in this neighborhood in 1935. This "`I" shaped
house has a very low pitched red tile roof, with original within -gable, stained vertical wood siding still intact.
It is coated with stucco. Sash windows and original rustic -looking wood door (left of center) that are typical
of these homes appear intact (all windows and door are covered by decorative security bars). Original doors
in the neighborhood feature "Z" timbering and decorative iron plate that covers a peep hole. At the right
wing is the garage with original wooden doors with upper vents. Characteristic of these houses is a central
open "court" at front, with only one small projecting wall (from the garage side) to slightly enclose it. As
seen from the front, a short chimney projects from the back center of the house. To the left is a newer, larger
garage, with possibly other rooms to the back of it. The yard upholds a desert environment, with dirt instead
of grass, and rocks and bushes along walkways. A low tree is at the front "court".

Vernacular and rustic, this small rectangular structure currently appears to be used for nonresidential
purposes (storage and/or workshop), although its builders may have intended and used it as a residence.
Field visibility is poor as structure is located in fenced in back yard of a more modern, eclectic residence.
The fence is made of wood and yard holds a large Eucalyptus tree and many various old tools and such, some
of which hang from the outside walls of the structure. The building has a low -pitch gabled roof, running
north -south, covered only with composition sheets. The roof overhangs walls, having open eaves that are
finished with a fascia board. Siding is unpainted wood, and the side (north) visible in the field held a central
doorway with relatively massive lintel. The multi -paneled door is also unfinished wood. Above door is a
rectangular window, opening enclosed from behind with a wood panel. To the right (west) is what appears to
be a lower down -slanting porch roof.

This house arrears to be "T" shaped, with main central gable running north -south, and two cross -gables at
north side of front and back. The roof is low-pitched with red tiles, and walls coated with plaster. The walls
continue into gables, where at the centers are small decorative vents made from three embedded roof tiles.
The roof does not overhang., but has stepped plaster cornice at non -gabled roof lines. The front gabled
projecting wing holds a large multi -paned and glass casement window. A connected covered walkway,
leading to the front door, has a large upside-down arch opening. To the left is a wall holding a newer sliding
metal and glass window, and a stepped down wall that partially encloses the side yard. An unadorned plaster
chimney is centered at south wall. A newer plaster coated fence is at front and sides; metal gates to back
yard are also newer. A large tree adorns the front.

Another example of "I" shaped Spanish Eclectic tract house in The Cove. It appears to have a small
addition toward the back; this addition has a shed roof of clay tiles and a large plate glass window. All walls
are stuccoed. The original building has a low-pitched red tile roof, with stained vertical wood siding within
the gables. One sash window remains at right wing, but at center is a newer, large metal sliding window and
a newer, small metal sash window, both of which take the place of a former pair of sash windows. To the
right is the door, which appears to be original behind a newer screen door. Original wood garage doors with
upper vents are still in place in wing. Characteristic of these houses is the central open "court" at front, with
only one small projecting wall (from the garage side) to slightly enclose it; bushes hide this feature. The
newer metal or aluminum windows, and an aluminum awning that partially covers the "court", in general
detract from the court and house. An interesting short wall of large rocks defines property boundaries, but
rustic and historic appearance is marred by a high chain link fence placed directly next to the rocks and
surrounding house. Eclectic vegetation ranges from palm tree and desert agave to cedar bushes and grass.

This early tract home is one of a number in The Cove that is a "L" shaped Spanish Eclectic with some Pueblo Revival
details. The owners have emphasized the Pueblo (or Southwest) look with natural desert landscaping and addition of a
thick adobe fence that partially encloses side and front. The roof is multi -level shed covered with red We, and the stucco
walls. The long part of the "L" makes up back and side of house. Facing east, the top of the "L" is adomed by three
vigas placed directly undemeallh the slanting roof We. A large multi -paned window with massive wood :.lintel and rustic
shutters is below. To the right is a wood door, similar to that found on other original tract houses, which appears to have
been placed at side of front porch, so as to enclose the porch and newer adobe fence. The porch roof is dropped, but
shed roof of the perpendicular wing meets the leg of the "L" at top (unlike some other houses of this same design). At
the ends of porch roof is typical "tract home" stained wood under gable (here, half -gable). The north wall, or foot end,
has a smooth stucco chimney at center, and is met on right by another down -slanting roof. A single sash window with
shutters is in small wall next to the chimney. A room size addition is connected at right, having a shed roof of
composition shingle and a plain stucco wall. At south side of the house, towards back, a room juts out with continuous
roof, and sash window with lintel and rustic shutters.

A very good example of Spanish Eclectic tract home built in this neighborhood in 1935. This "I" shaped
house has a very low pitched red the roof, with stained vertical wood siding withing the gables --an original
feature. Sash windows and original rustic -looking wood door (right of center) typical of these homes are
probably intact (decorative security bars cover all windows and doors). Original doors feature "Z" timbering
and a decorative iron plate that covers a peep hole. Windows are located at center of the left wing, along the
inside of this wing and paired to the left of the door. The right wing holds a garage containing original
wooden doors with upper vents. Characteristic of these houses is a central open "court" at front, with only
one small projecting wall (from the garage side) to slightly enclose it. A photograph of the back is included
on a continuation sheet as it is a rare example of this type of house where the back elevation is visible. At
rear of house is a short exterior chimney stack at center, a door at garage wing, and window at the other. The
yard is well maintained with simple landscaping, and includes two palms and another large tree.

Monterey in style, this two story residence (now an office) features a covered and wood -railed cantilevered
balcony at the west elevation. The building is rectangular with a low-pitched red tile roof and gables at the
north and south ends, but contains additional spaces. An "L" shaped wing runs along the north wall and
turns north from the northeast corner of the main wing. This one-story wing partially encloses a courtyard at
north end of budding. An adobe wall with central fireplace and two gates is the court's north boundary,
while what appears to be a guest house (and a narrow adobe wall) encloses it at the west. A multi -car garage
with shed roof is attached to the guest house at northwest; the driveway rums from the garage, alongside the
north wall of the courtyard, to a double wood gate that appears to be older, if not original. Surrounding the
property along eastern boundary, and partially along the southern, is a tall brick fence with decorative brick
work at top; an older, if not original, wooden gate allows entry from the street to a tiled walkway leading to
back of house. At southeast comer of the property is a very large stone fireplace and barbeque. The tall and
wide stone chimney, and stepped walls at either side, replace the brick of fence.

The exterior of the original residence appears to be in good condition without new additions. Many details
are Spanish eclectic. French windows and doors are asymmetrical in placement, with most of those at the
fast story covered by more modem steel security bars. The south end holds a central two-story chimney with
decorative top. The first story here has a slant -roofed porch held up by three undistinguished round columns
and a floor of original tile. (The tiles here, and used at the various walkways, are soft red clay; those exposed
to the weather are deeply pitted.) The east side of the house has an upper french door and balconet, upper
decorative wall vent with tile, a lower decorative doorjamb having scallops in plaster at top, and projecting
lintel above the slightly projecting door surround (the door here, however is modem glass and steel). The
overhanging roof of the first story wing is held up by short square columns with simple decorative capitals.
These columns are different in appearance from north end round columns. The remainder of property is
built up with newer tennis club facilities, such as courts, clubhouse, and pool Condominium -like guest
houses are at the back and sides of property.

Dear Joyce,
How nice to hear from you.
Joyce, when staff prepares a report for the council or planning
commission that :.:ill include information contained in the minutes of
another commission they cross off that which we do not need to read to
assess the information ...e do. Therefore what you have seen that is
marked attachment 5, was in fact an attachment to the planning
commission report regarding Environmental Assesment 96-335 for
Tentative Tract 28409. So that the party doing their research does
not have to spend time with issues not pertinent to the subject, staff
indicates what to look at, this certainly seems to me, and has been to
me an assistance and time saver. How unfortunate that you assumed
that minutes would be altered in any way. All information that is
provided to any of the commissions or council is gratefully
accepted.
Pegarding your letter to the Palm Desert Post: ...hen I received a copy,
as did the other councilmembers, I was delighted that you took, the
time to let us know how you feel about this. As you and I have talked
and you know how important this issue is to me and that I have
suggested to many people to let us know if this is a "good thing" or a
waste of time, I was appreciative that you wrote. As far as having any
control over the Palm Desert Post's policy on printing letter to the
Editor, we do not. I can only hope that they will print it in the near
future.
Thank you for all the time you are devoting to the many issues that La
Quinta faces. We are a wonderful community, making strives in every
direction to provide a well operated and maintained city providing
the services necessary for the quality of life we all desire.
I hope I have provided you with comfortable answers to your
inquiries.
very truly yours,
Terry Henderson,
Councilmember
