1. CONSIDERATION OF 2009 LA QUINTA MARKET STUDY.
Economic Development Project Manager Powell presented the staff
report.
In response to Agency Member Adolph, Economic Development
Project Manager Powell explained the Board's direction would be to
conduct the market study. Assistant City Manager -Development
Services Evans further explained some of the information can be
obtained from other sources; and stated staff has given an opportunity
for the Agency to defer this matter until the market stabilizes.
Agency Member Adolph stated in looking at areas such as Highway
111, there is not much open space available within our jurisdiction.
Assistant City Manager -Development Services Evans noted there are
pads available, and a market study could provide data so business
owners could look at how they are marketing their businesses. Staff
is unsure if anything new can be learned that is not going to change
rapidly and result in an out-of-date report.
Agency Member Henderson stated she recalls the Council's discussion
on this matter six months ago being almost identical; stated when the
time is right we need to get back on track and recommended this item
be brought back in six months.

months.
