into a purchase agreement to purchase new maintenance equipment from John
Deere Equipment through the State of California Multiple Awards Schedule
("CMAS") Program; and

does not receive as much use as the daily maintenance equipment and, therefore,
still has additional useful life; and
WHEREAS, all of the leased equipment would normally be returned to John
Deere Equipment at the conclusion of the current term of the expiring Equipment
Lease; and
WHEREAS, notwithstanding the foregoing, on September 15, 2009, John
Deere Equipment generously offered to donate to the City 13 pieces of equipment
(the "Donated Equipment") included in the current Equipment Lease for continued
use at SilverRock Resort; and
WHEREAS, the City estimates that the Donated Equipment will provide an
additional five years of useful service life; and
WHEREAS, in addition to the Donated Equipment, John Deere Equipment has
also offered an additional third year warranty to their normal two-year warranty on
all of the newly purchased through the CMAS Program; and
WHEREAS, the gift was offered for donation to the City of La Quinta and
