carried unanimously.
2. CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTIONS TO EXTEND THE TIME FOR
COMPLETION OF ONSITE AND OFFSITE IMPROVEMENTS FOR TRACT MAP
32879, GRIFFIN RANCH, TRANS WEST HOUSING.
Council Member Franklin recused herself from participating on this item and
left the dais because of a conflict of interest due to the proximity of her
residence to the project.
Public Works Director Jonasson presented the staff report.
Council Member Evans inquired about the bond amounts and the anticipated
cost of completing the improvements.
Public Works Director Jonasson stated there is over S4 million in bonds for
the on-site improvements and S2 million for off-site improvements. In
further clarification for Council Member Henderson, he explained there is S2
million of performance bonds for off-site improvements and over $4 million
City Council Minutes 4 November 16, 2010
for on-site; and if the labor and materials bonds are included it would double
the amount of bonds for the on-site improvements to S8 million.
In response to Council Member Evans, Public Works Director Jonasson
confirmed there are more than enough securities to complete both on and
off-site improvements should the City decide to call on the bonds but the
bonds do not include the clubhouse.
Council Member Henderson requested clarification of the applicant's request
for a time extension to September 2011 and a letter from the homeowners'
association acquiescent to a six-month extension.
City Attorney Jenson announced the email letter was distributed to the City
Council and copies are available for public review.
In response to Mayor Adolph, Public Works Director Jonasson stated he
recently visited the project site and observed the streets are capped, utilities
are installed, the pads are stabilized, and the area of occupied homes is
maintained.
Mayor Adolph expressed concern about the front yards being maintained.
Public Works Director Jonasson stated he did not observe any over-growth.
Mayor Adolph stated it's the developer's responsibility to maintain the
development to protect the land values of the residents. Public Works
Director Jonasson explained the entrance and perimeter improvements have
been maintained, with the exception of the Merv Griffin estate where the
sidewalk and landscaping stops and the construction entrance; the Avenue
54 improvements were maintained as well.
Geoff McComic, 3911 Liggett Drive, San Diego, representing Griffin Ranch,
stated the six-month extension reference is a misunderstanding and the
residents are confused about the bonding for the clubhouse; he does not
believe the residents will have a problem with a 12-month extension;
explained most of the off-site improvements have been completed, including
widening of Madison Street and Avenue 54; pointed out a section of
sidewalk and landscaping has not been installed; stated there are 60
occupied lots and 160 vacant lots; referenced the construction entrance and
expressed concern about installing improvements because of construction
traffic which would be financially detrimental.
Council Member Evans stated the off-site improvements include a multi-
purpose trail, sidewalk, and landscaping in the perimeter by Avenue 54. Mr.
McComic explained that area dead-ends to vacant property and the
City Council Minutes 5 November 16, 2010
improvements would lead to nowhere as there is no development to the east
of the vacant parcel; and referenced an area on the map where he is working
with staff to complete improvements.
In response to Mayor Adolph, Mr. McComic confirmed the developer is
responsible for improvements in front of the Merv Griffin estate and is
working to complete them as soon as possible.
In response to Council Member Henderson, Mr. McComic explained the
surrounding area improvements are completed with the street capped with
utilities, and with the improvements at the northeast area of the project
needing to be completed.
Council Member Henderson asked what is being done to stabilize the sand at
the project area. Mr. McComic explained the residential lots have been
cemented and are stabilized once a year with a treatment for PM-10 and
they are keeping the streets cleaned.
Council Member Henderson asked if the homeowners' association has had
difficulty communicating with staff at Griffin Ranch. Mr. McComic explained
they would have been able to move forward with the project if the FDIC had
not taken it over; an open line of communication existed with the
homeowners' association until July 2010 and until the FDIC got involved and
was told not to communicate with them but recently they have been back in
contact; Griffin Ranch has similar goals to complete the development.
Council Member Henderson stated Griffin Ranch has tried to be a good
neighbor under the circumstances. Mr. McComic confirmed.
Council Member Evans asked what the developer realistically intends to
complete by September 2011. Mr. McComic stated it is possible to get the
off-site sidewalk and landscaping by September 201 1; he does not believe it
makes sense to install any on-site improvements at this time. Council
Member Evans stated it seems the developer is stating the improvements will
be completed if the City Council grants the extension. Mr. McComic
explained an extension is requested to complete the exterior improvements.
Council Member Evans stated the homeowners' association has heard the
developer is looking to sell the project. Mr. McComic explained that is not
their intent; their intent is to work with the new lender and move the project
forward; and explained the previous lender is currently in default.
City Council Minutes 6 November 16, 2010
Council Member Henderson conveyed concern about the situation for the
residents of the project; the developer has been a good neighbor and she
encouraged the developer to continue a relationship with the HOA.
Council Member Sniff stated the developer and this project are victims of the
current economy which is not in their control; he is convinced the developer
is doing everything he can to take control of the situation and believes the
extension is a reasonable request.
In response to Mayor Adolph, McComic explained there is another 40 acres
east of the current project that would be inside Griffin Ranch and is not
subject to the Amtrust loan; and could come back and remap it to be
included with the current project but would lose the benefits of the specific
plan.
Mayor Adolph noted stables were going to be included on the 40 acres for
the residents' use; and asked if the litigation with the La Quinta Estates had
been resolved. Mr. McComic confirmed.
RESOLUTION NO. 2010-067

City Council Minutes 7 November 16, 2010
3. CONSIDERATION OF CONTRACT EXTENSION WITH RIVERSIDE COUNTY
FOR ANIMAL SHELTER SERVICES.
Building & Safety Director Hartung presented the staff report.
Council Member Henderson noted it was quite a process to get to this point
and stated she is impressed with the new facility; there were distance issues
for owners to pick-up or drop off their animals; and asked if there have been
any complaints from the public or are they aware of the website.
Building & Safety Director Hartung stated staff has not received any
complaints about the distance; there is a link to the shelter on the City's
website; and the cost remains the same with the campus and Animal
Samaritans services.
Council Member Henderson stated she is hesitant to leave the campus and
venture into unknown territory for shelter services.
In response to Council Member Evans, Building & Safety Director Hartung
stated the Indio facility provides services for the Cities of Indio and
Coachella; and stated both cities have not joined the Animal Campus.
Council Member Franklin stated the Indio facility does not compare to the
Riverside County facility in Thousand Palms, and recommends staying with
the Riverside County facility.
Council Member Sniff stated there is no point in changing if the current
facility is working so well.
Mayor Adolph stated it is obvious staff's recommendation is to stay with the
course, and further stated the County facility is a beautiful shelter.
MOTION - It was moved by Council Members Evans/Henderson to approve
continuing to contract with Riverside County for animal shelter services.
Motion carried unanimously.
4. CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP) TO OBTAIN
PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES TO PREPARE PLANS,
SPECIFICATIONS, AND ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE (PS&E) OF PROBABLE
CONSTRUCTION COSTS FOR A TRAFFIC SIGNAL OR ROUNDABOUT AT
THE INTERSECTION OF EISENHOWER DRIVE AND CALLE SINALOA,
PROJECT NO. 2010-11.
City Council Minutes 8 November 16, 2010
Public Works Director Jonasson presented the staff report.
Council Member Henderson asked if the potential problem of residents
backing out of their driveways has any bearing on this discussion. Public
Works Director Jonasson explained residents would have potential problems
backing out even with a traffic signal, and the roundabout design would have
to include looking at how to accommodate those driveways close to the
intersection; and stated it would be part of the preliminary analysis.
Council Member Henderson commented on the needed improvements being
in the CIP and funded by the DIF; she had questioned there being enough
room for a roundabout until she discussed it with staff; stated she has
encouraged residents to use Eisenhower Drive to divert some of the traffic
off of Avenida Bermudas but Eisenhower is slower moving due to parked
cars on both sides of the street; she has observed small neighborhood
roundabouts in Anaheim and they seem to work; and asked about the
possibility of postponing the project for a year.
Council Member Evans conveyed support for a feasibility study for a traffic
signal but not a roundabout due to the unusual configuration; expressed
concern about residents backing out of their driveways near the intersection,
and the increase of noise if a signal is installed. Public Works Director
Jonasson stated there would be light impacts with a traffic signal; a
roundabout configuration can move traffic away from the driveways if
limited to one lane and provide more backup room for residents; currently,
there are four lanes and the outside lane is right against the driveways of the
three residents near the intersection; and all vehicles must stop at the
intersection and provide some gap to allow residents to exit their driveways;
if a traffic signal is installed and the light is green, vehicles will be traveling
faster on Eisenhower Drive; and stated preliminary designs for both a
roundabout and a traffic signal will provide more answers.
In response to Council Member Evans, Principal Engineer McKinney explained
the cost of the design for a traffic signal is 520,000 and if a full design were
done for the roundabout, both costs are within the budgeted amount of
543,000.
Council Member Franklin stated this is not an appropriate location for a
roundabout and it is not necessary to spend funds to install a roundabout;
the proximity of the homes and driveways and the configuration of the
intersection is awkward; and she conveyed support for installing a traffic
signal.
City Council Minutes 9 November 16, 2010
Council Member Sniff stated he is disappointed with staff's support for a
roundabout at this location; he prefers consistency and is not eager to install
another roundabout. He does not support it and questioned the urgency for
the improvements.
Mayor Adolph asked about the history of accidents at this location. Traffic
Engineer Consultant Lalani stated the number of accidents fluctuates; staff
has tried to mitigate it by installing 48" stop signs and pulling back parking
on the street. He stated over afour-hour period in the afternoon, 1,000
vehicles per hour enter the intersection, which is very close to the
requirement for installing a traffic signal.
Mayor Adolph asked if the 1,000 vehicles per hour are during peak hours.
Traffic Engineer Consultant Lalani confirmed it is between 2:30 p.m. and
6:30 p.m., which is true throughout the city.
In response to Council Member Henderson, Traffic Engineer Consultant Lalani
stated without analyzing the intersection through specific software, it is hard
to determine if the intersection meets all eight warrants for installation of a
traffic signal but it is very close; and stated it is City Council's prerogative to
delay the project for a year.
Mayor Adolph stated a roundabout would. be a calming device for traffic but
asked if there is any way to get around funneling two lanes into one and if it
would increase the chance for accidents.
Public Works Director Jonasson stated there is potential for fender-bender
accidents anytime cars are weaved into a single lane; the safety design
feature of a roundabout is the avoidance of broad-side collisions; and stated
a traffic signal does not prevent broad-side collisions.
Mayor Adolph stated he likes the roundabout at Jefferson Street and Avenue
52, but is unsure this location is appropriate; conveyed concern about
violating the dark sky ordinance due to lighting at the roundabout. Public
Works Director Jonasson stated staff can look into low-level lighting and
noted a traffic signal will require lighting.
Mayor Adolph questioned the necessity of making improvements at this
time.
Kay Wolff, 77-227 Calle Ensenada, spoke in support of roundabouts and the
feasibility study; stated a question was posted on the Neighborhood
Association's website regarding the need for a roundabout or traffic signal at
City Council Minutes 10 November 16, 2010
the intersection and those who responded were in favor of a roundabout;
noted fuel conservation is an added benefit with roundabouts because of less
stopping and accelerating; voiced an interest in knowing if police feel a
roundabout is safer and suggested the feasibility study include a police
analysis; stated the center of roundabout is not too large where traffic can
maneuver around; stated there would be a need to install street lights for a
traffic signal; and stated there may be other intersections in the cove that
could benefit from something similar to a roundabout.
Council Member Henderson stated roundabouts are beneficial if consecutive.
Paul Luna, owner of 51-755 Eisenhower Drive, stated he is not in support of
a traffic signal at the intersection because it would be too much light and a
roundabout would be more of a view; and stated he believes traffic is less
than 1,000 vehicles per hour.
In response to Council Member Evans, Mr. Luna confirmed his home is one
of the houses with a driveway backing out into the intersection; he currently
has difficulty backing out because he has to watch both corners whereas
with a roundabout he would only have to look one way when backing out.
Mayor Adolph asked about the circumference of a roundabout at that
intersection. Public Works Director Jonasson stated it is estimated to be
about 60 to 80 feet by the time it is designed.
Council Member Henderson stated she has heard enough support to pursue a
feasibility study and feels it is interesting to receive input from a resident
with a home at the intersection; stated the dark sky ordinance and a traffic
signal play heavily in this consideration; stated she is unsure if this
intersection is an appropriate location for a roundabout, but it's beginning to
have more pluses than minuses
MOTION - It was moved by Council Members Henderson/Franklin to approve
the Request for Proposals (RFP) to obtain professional engineering services
to prepare Plans, Specifications, and Engineer's Estimate (PS&E) of probable
construction costs for a traffic signal and roundabout at the intersection of
Eisenhower Drive and Calle Sinaloa, Project No. 2010-11. Motion carried
unanimously.

REPORTS AND INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport Authority -Council Member Franklin reported
on the success of the air show.
C.V. Conservation Commission -Council Member Sniff reported the Commission
will be discussing fees at their January 13, 201 1, meeting to support the multi-
species plan and purchase of land; and cities will be required to discuss a proposed
ordinance for a fee of 54,900 per acre.
Council Member Henderson stated the proposed fee is a concern in the Building
Industry Association; there was a presumption that they had come to an
agreement; the nexus study was only available 10 days to the Desert Valley
Building Association and they requested a continuance to January 201 1 .
Council Member Evans asked if the fee would include projects that have been
permitted and have met the multi-species plan requirement.
Council Member Sniff stated the new fee per dwelling unit is 51,284.
Council Member Henderson explained the fee was not imposed on every lot before
but will be now; the theory is the resident will have an impact on the environment,
not the builder, and they must pay their fair share for the good of all.
Council Member Sniff further reported the proposed ordinance will be brought
before the City Council after January 13, 201 1.
League of California Cities-Riverside Division -Council Member Henderson reported
Senator Bill Emerson gave a presentation at the regional meeting in Calimesa
City Council Minutes 12 November 16, 2010

State sees as a potential is to push down the funding for county facilitated health
programs directly to the counties, and may need to cut the programs if there are
budgeting problems.

New York for S85 million and RCTC having a better reputation in bonding in New
York than in California; and referenced the Self Help Counties Focus on the Future
retreat held at the La Quinta Hotel & Resort with approximately 600 attendees.
SunLine Transit Agency/SunLine Services Group - Mayor Adolph referenced
newspaper articles regarding taxicabs and stated SunLine is unable to monitor the

Valley Parole Re-Entry Steering Committee is now active; and she has provided a

MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS' ITEMS
Council Member Evans commented on significant activity at La Quinta Middle
School with an investigation of a hate crime which resulted in the arrest of five
female juveniles; suggested the City be proactive by inquiring if there are similar
activities at other schools and suggest the same type of education that was
presented to La Quinta High School be brought to the middle school students as
well.
Police Chief Gregory informed Council of an incident where juveniles in the middle
school age range committed graffiti; stated the education at La Quinta High School
was conducted by the Anti-Defamation League and explained the Police
Department was involved in coordinating the appropriate content for the training at
La Quinta High School; offered to coordinate the same for the middle school level;
and further stated the Desert Sands Unified School District would have the final
decision on providing training.
Council Member Evans conveyed support for being proactive as opposed to waiting
for an event to surface and receive negative press. She would like for the City
Council to voice verbal support for the School District providing the same education
awareness to the middle school students as they provided to the La Quinta High
School students.
Council Member Henderson conveyed support for the suggestion.
