These Granite stones will be prominent features at the entry of the building similar in stature to the three mountains that are prominent at the West entry to the valley. The water is significant in the historic reference to the healing hot springs found throughout the valley that have been touted for their restorative powers and wellness properties for thousands ofyears, long before current wellness techniques and ideas came into being. These healing waters emerge from rock at the bases of the surrounding majestic mountains and collect in pools just as the water for the fountain will emerge from the top and flow over each of the boulders and collect in the basin below. The cobbles placed in the basin of the fountain have been smoothed by water and will be arranged to follow the design of the surrounding entry paving. The basin edges will be covered to match the main lobby flooring and help relate the interior with the exterior. The Coachella Valley has historically held a significant aura of mystery for some and as La Quinta is at the heart of the Valley we find this a fitting tribute to the surroundings and the Argyros Wellness Center. 25 Roger HopLin., 44489 Town Center Way Suite D #265 Palm Desert, California 92260 (760) 409 2210 www.rockartist.or� RGA RE: Fountains for EMC, La Quinta September 24, 2008 This reflects the changes in sizes for the stones, but not the crane costs 5 Black Granite Fountain Stones (15', 10', & 9') $26000 Terms: 50% deposit, 50% Prior to clelivery 26 !J_ P!

Due to the construction of the new fire station, the electricity for the tennis courts needed to be relocated. Four of the six tennis courts were without lights for about a month. Now, all six tennis courts have lighting available between the hours of 5 and 10 pm. On Saturday, February 27, 2010, an Eagle Scout Project occurred at the Cove Oasis Trails. Alex VanBuskirk organized a group of people to provide trail work at the Cove to Lake, Boo Hoff, and Bear Creek Trails. The group installed additional trail markers, trail identification stickers, performed trail improvements, and removed litter form the trails. Each trail is between 2.5 to 3 miles long and the work the group performed will be an important asset to trail safety and enjoyment. The Bid Document and Specifications have been posted for the Park Landscape Maintenance Services Contract. Bids to maintain the City's parks will be opened on April 1, 2010 and there will be a mandatory pre -bid meeting on March 18, 2010.

The conference included a tour bus that visited various city facilities throughout the Coachella Valley. A group of almost fifty people visited SilverRock Resort where they were given a brief presentation about the project and then they departed for a tour of the Civic Center Campus and Old Town. Following the direction from City Council at the March 16, 2010 City Council meeting, staff contacted the landscape architect regarding the Turf Reduction Green Projects, Project No. 2009-18. Staff verified the landscape plans, which will be presented to City Council on May 5, 2010, will have a set -back not to exceed 18 feet along Avenida La Fonda at the Civic Center Campus. Additionally, the park entry point from Avenida La Fonda will be clearly defined and accessible into the Campus area. Staff held a mandatory pre -bid meeting for all contractors considering bidding for the City's Park Landscape Maintenance Services on March 18, 2010. The bid opening is scheduled for April 1, 2010 Construction of the decomposed granite trail at the Fred Wolff Bear Creek Nature Preserve has been completed. The nature preserve trail is 6 feet wide and approximately 4,200 feet long and runs parallel to the Bear Creek Trail along Avenida Montezuma. The natural trail will serve as a recreational trail to experience the Nature Preserve as well as providing an exercise loop with each end of the trail connecting to the Bear Creek Trail. Construction has started for the new playgrounds at Fritz Burns Park and the Seasons Retention Basin. The contractor has fenced -off the playground area at Fritz Burns Park and the old playground equipment has been removed. Construction is expected to be completed within two weeks. Copies of the playground elevation detail have been placed on the fence so the residents can see a rendition of what the new playgrounds will look like. 51 COMMISSIONER ITEM: 1 i m C o p y O N c w c w c w c w c w c w c w c w c w c w c w c w c w c w c w c w c w N N N N N N N N N Vl N Vl N N N N r/ N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N � C a — C 0 9 0 0 m m JN N a0i N aci W aci N N a0i V) w aCi v) N p w w w w w w w 0 U C 0 0 >i (1 N O N C w C w C w C w C w C w C w C w C w C w C w C w C w C w J N� N y N N N N N N 4i N N Vl Vl N Ma` a` a`a` a a`a`a a` a` aa` a` 0- 0 0 O N C w C w C w C w C w C w C w C w C w C w C w C w C w LL N N � N tIl Ul N N N (/1 w N N N w a a` a` aa` a`a a`a a` a` a` a` m^M C) L W Y 0 �yo � 0 o0 w N w w y w y h M O } N O0� O p G G C G c c c c c C c c C y` O w w w w w w w N w w w w w N a` a` a` y w L y m W O y O m O N N y N N N f/ N N N Vl N N N N N N N N w w w w w d w d w c aNi w Ei E Ei c_ w oa E Q H c o 1O O N w N p p V X X w C W 76 O a.
