Principal Planner Wallace Nesbit presented the information contained
in the staff report, a copy of which is on file in the Planning
Department.
Vice Chairman Wilbur asked for Commissioner comments.
Commissioner Redmon said, in the interest of full disclosure, she
owned one of the older homes in the Cove, and a lot of this would be
of interest to owners of the older Cove homes because of the date of
the relics. She added that she also reviewed the report from the
standpoint of the cost benefit analysis. She was concerned about the
cost to save, or to document, these things versus the actual benefit to
the City. She commented on her past experience with the possible
types of relics gained from these, types of sites which are usually just
basic merchandise.
Vice Chairman Wilbur asked if she did not believe a qualified monitor
needed to be there.
Commissioner Redmon said she was very concerned about the cost to
the City and the possibility the funds might be better spent elsewhere.
Planning Manager Sawyer clarified the City would not be paying for
the monitoring; CVWD would.
Commissioner Puente asked who,would choose the historical monitor.
Staff responded the applicant would suggest a possible monitor which
would have to be approved by staff.
Commissioner Puenteasked if the City would keep pieces that are
recovered to be stored and displayed at the Museum. Staff responded
standard archiving protocol would be followed.
General discussion followed regarding what may or may not be found
on the site and what had been identified nearby.
Vice Chairman Wilbur was very interested in retaining the phrase
"qualified monitor" in the conditions.
Principal Planner Nesbit described the locations of the refuse piles and
said he did not know if the Water District would do the project bit-by-

bit or in a wholesale operation which could require more than one
person watching to see if there was anything that came up.
Planning Manager Sawyer added this was not a standard grading
project and, this was not a standard report recommendation either.
He added that the phrasing of the recommendation allowed staff to
have the flexibility to use common sense on the intensity of the
monitoring project on a case -by -case basis; based on a sampling of the
types of relics that came up; rather than just setting standard
protocol.
Vice Chairman Wilbur asked if the current wording allowed that
flexibility.
Planning Manager Sawyer responded it did, basically, but wording
could be added stating "if and when, monitoring is required, the extent
of monitoring would be determined by staff at that time".
Commissioner Redmon suggested that addition would be needed.
Planning Manager Sawyer said they could add it, or it could simply be
interpreted that was the direction of the Commission.
There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by
Commissioners Redmon/Puente to adopt Minute Motion 2011-002,
recommending acceptance of the Cultural Resources Report for
CVWD's La Quinta Cove Refuse Removal Project, as submitted.
AYES: Commissioners Puente, Redmon, Sharp and Vice Chairman
Wilbur. NOES: None. ABSENT: Chairman Wright. ABSTAIN: None.
B. Tour of La Quinta Museum with Johanna Wickman, Museum Manager
Planning Manager David Sawyer introduced Ms. Johanna Wickman,
Museum Manager of the La Quinta Museum.
Ms. Wickman then took the Commission on a tour of the Museum,
highlighting such topics as:
• The Local History Gallery which included the local Cahuilla
Indian, Railroad, La Quinta Hotel and Desert Club histories.
■ An overview of the Edward Curtis and Dorothea Lang photo
