CONFIRMATION OF AGENDA
Motion - It was moved by Commissioners Fitzpatrick/Biegel to confirm the agenda.
Motion carried unanimously.
PRESENTATIONS -
1. Stan Ford, Executive Director, Desert Recreation District
Stan Ford gave a brief overview of Desert Recreation District and introduced
Tatiana Hinkle.
Ms. Hinkle gave a presentation on their new branding concept. Local surveys
showed that Desert Recreation District is highly regarded by their members and
employees, but are not getting the credit for what they do because of confusion
about who they are. People are confused due to: the wide variety of offerings; the
various audiences that are being catered to; the lengthy name (Coachella Valley
Recreation and Park District); the blurred lines between service providers; territorial
issues with other organizations; language and cultural barriers; and socioeconomic
disparity in their territory.
Desert Recreation District is easy to read, eye catching, memorable, bright,
energetic, cheerful, fun, and optimistic. The color and style represents the desert.

The logo reflects the lifestyle in the desert, defines DRD as the regional provider,
and describes what DRD is here for.
Part of the branding initiative will include market saturation of their new identity
and the development of better and stronger partnerships within the community and
other community organizations.
Commissioner Gassman suggested a referral program be set up between the City
and DRD.
Commissioner Quill asked about the status of the Coral Mountain Project. Mr. Ford
explained that the project is on hold while seeking funding and waiting for the City
Planning Department to give an update on the Jefferson Street improvements. The
construction documents have been finalized.
