PoX 1504 La Quinta, CA 92247. 11 DEPARTMENT REPORT: 1 04 � TAtw4 C TO: Community Services Commission FROM: Edie Hylton, Community Services Directo DATE: December 12, 2011 RE: Update on Sahara Mustard Background Sahara Mustard (Brassica tournefortnl first appeared in the Coachella Valley in the 1920's. It became a management concern by the 1980's. In August 2005, Caltrans and the Federal Highway Administration sponsored a multi- state meeting in Barstow, California to discuss the Sahara Mustard invasion and plan control strategies. Caltrans and the Federal Highway Administration are leading the control efforts because roadsides are the primary pathway of spread of the Sahara Mustard. From the roadsides, the mustard plant can spread up to one mile into the open desert within seven years. The potential impacts of Sahara Mustard include competing with and reducing native plant productivity, affecting wildlife by altering the availability of forage plants and creating fuel for the spread of wildfires. Control methods must focus on the seed bank. Since birds and wind are the primary dispersal vectors, the seed banks must be controlled before birds can ingest them or the wind can disperse them by breaking the plant off at the base and tumble across the landscape. Tumble weeds disperse their seeds in the same manner. Potential control measures include: Pre -emergent Control — Not recommended because it will also affect native wildflowers. Post -Emergent Control — Selective and non -selective herbicide may be used in dense growth areas. However, if the flowers and seeds have 12 developed, physical removal will be necessary to prevent further dispersal of the seeds. Physical Removal - This is the most cost effective control measure. When the plant is picked early in its development (before the growth of the vertical stems) the removed plant can be left on the ground. Once the plant has matured and vertical stems have developed flowers and/or seeds, the removed plant will need to be disposed of so there will be no further spreading of the seeds. Action by the Community Services Department During the November 8, 2010 Community Services Commission Meeting, La Quinta resident Kay Wolff introduced the subject of Sahara Mustard and its' impacts to the Coachella Valley. Staff was asked to research the Mustard plant and report to the Community Services Commission about the impacts of the weed and possible measures for La Quinta residents to reduce the impacts on our environment. During the December 13, 2010 Community Services Commission, staff presented a report of findings to the Commission. Staff recommended physically removing the weed during its early stages. As the mustard plant matures and develops stems vertically, its appearance will be similar to an oblong tumble weed with small yellow flowers. The weed will begin germinating sometime between February and April depending upon the rainy season. Staff suggested target areas for residents to participate in the control of Sahara Mustard to include the Fred Wolff Bear Creek Nature Preserve, the Bear Creek Trail, and the Cove Oasis (Top of the Cove). Residents would be educated about this weed through flyers placed in these locations, City Hall, and through the City and Cove Neighborhood Association (CNA) websites. On January 5, 2011, staff received approval from the Morongo Basin Conservation Association (MBCA) to use a flyer they had produced that provides information about Sahara Mustard and recommends its removal. The flyer is titled "Pull Me." The flyer was rewritten with the City of La Quinta Logo but still acknowledges the document originally being produced by the MBCA (Attachment 1). In February 2011, one thousand flyers were printed. Staff and volunteers from the CNA began distributing the flyers. The flyer was also posted on the City Website as well as made available in flyer boxes that were installed along the Fred Wolff Bear Creek Nature Preserve and the Bear Creek Trail. 13 The Community Services and Public Works staff met with the SilverRock Golf Course Management and Landscape Contractors to review the mustard flyer and gave direction to make all reasonable efforts to remove the weed at SilverRock Golf Course, in medians, and at City parks. On March 5, 2011, a group of homeowners from the La Quinta Cove established a neighborhood "Mustard Patrol" and conducted their first event to remove the weeds. Staff provided the group with trash bags, flyers, and trash bag pick-up. While the group hiked throughout the Cove removing Sahara Mustard weeds, they also passed out flyers to residents asking for their help. Several "Mustard Patrols" were conducted throughout March and April 2011. On April 30, 201 1, a volunteer church group not associated with the "Mustard Patrol" cleared Mustard weeds around the Yucatan community of the Cove. Action by Code Enforcement On April 1, 2010, La Quinta Code Compliance began inserting the Sahara Mustard flyer with all Notice of Public Nuisances mailed to vacant lot owners. These notices instruct the person owning, leasing, controlling, operating, or maintaining the property to clean their lots of all fire hazard brush, vegetation, and debris. The Sahara Mustard flyer provides instruction on how to handle the weed by hand pulling it and properly disposing it in a tied -off plastic trash bag. The CNA forwarded a list of approximately twelve (12) vacant lots where Sahara Mustard was visibly present. The lots were inspected and found to be a fire hazard that was later abated. On April 27, 2011, Code Enforcement and Community Services staff met with Mr. Daniel Q. Callister, a member of the CNA. He discussed efforts that the CNA was making with approximately 50-75 volunteers. These volunteers were hand -pulling Sahara Mustard at various locations throughout the City. Mr. Callister inquired about potential Code Enforcement action directly related to Sahara Mustard. Staff explained that the City does not have an ordinance that specifically prohibits a particular species of plant; however there are landscape maintenance codes that enable Code Enforcement to address residential properties where the landscaping is kept in a poorly maintained condition. La Quinta Municipal Code 9.60.240(E)(3) notes that "All landscaping shall be maintained in a neat, clean, and healthy condition, including proper pruning, mowing of lawns, weeding, removal of litter, fertilizing, replacement of plants when necessary and regular watering. Permanent automatic irrigation iC1 facilities shall be provided for all landscaped areas." Additionally, La Quinta Municipal Code 9.50.090(A)(12) states that "The landscaping shall be continuously maintained in a healthy and viable condition." For the properties that are in violation of these two Municipal Codes, Code Enforcement requires the property owner and/or tenant to remove the weeds on the property which includes Sahara Mustard. With respect to abatement of vacant lots, La Quinta Municipal Code 11.72.030(T)(8) provides that allowing , "Dead, decayed, diseased or hazardous trees, hedges, weeds, shrubs and overgrown vegetation likely to harbor rats or vermin or constitute an unsightly appearance or fire hazard" to exist on a lot constitutes a public nuisance. This code enables Code Enforcement to address vacant lots that have dense dry vegetation (including Sahara Mustard) and/or unsightly debris. As a majority of the vacant lots in the Residential Cove District are only fifty (50) feet wide by One Hundred (100) feet long, their limited size enables Code Enforcement to remove all dense dry brush on the entire vacant lot. For larger multi -acre sites, inspections were conducted at the northwest corner of Jefferson Street and Avenue 50 and various other multi -acre sites on the Highway 111 corridor. The 2010 California Fire Code, Section 304.1.2 requires owners to "Maintain around and adjacent to such building or structure a firebreak made by removing and clearing away, for a distance of not less than 30 feet on each side thereof or to the property line, whichever is greater, all flammable vegetation or other combustible growth." Inspections revealed these larger multi -acre lots did not have dense dry brush within thirty (30) feet of a structure therefore they did not qualify as a fire hazard. Wind can cause reduced visibility from a dust event on a completely denuded parcel. Consequently, public safety is carefully weighed when considering the extent of abatement on a multi -acre site immediately adjacent to a heavily traveled street. The greater public safety is given priority. Staff contacted the surrounding cities that provide their own weed abatement and found that none of them were aware of Sahara Mustard concern and therefore did not have any program for education or eradication. The City does not have a Municipal Code section addressing the eradication of any specific plant species, including Sahara Mustard. Therefore, unless there is a violation of some other Ordinance, staff does not have the authority to enter private property and have it removed. 15 Communication with Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) Staff contacted Katie Barrows, Director of Environmental Resources, with CVAG to discuss what was being done at a regional level. Ms. Barrows indicated that discussions have occurred at the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission in regard to increasing awareness of the mustard plant and the importance of pulling the plant with a special effort on specific locations within the conservation areas. As a La Quinta resident, Ms. Barrows suggested meeting with the Cove Neighborhood Association to determine the areas that should be focused on such as the Top of the Cove and the Fred Wolff Bear Creek Nature Preserve and continue to work with volunteers to pull the plants prior to them going to seed. Ms. Barrows also indicated that she would recommend volunteer groups willing to pull the mustard plants in the conservation areas identified and would work with City staff to increase volunteer efforts for this purpose. Actions Planned for 2012 • Coordinate with volunteers on "pull" efforts. • Provide trash bags and assistance with disposal. • Work with BLM to identify mustard infested areas and coordinate volunteer removal. • Identify and coordinate volunteer removal in open space areas such as the Fred Wolff Bear Creek Nature Preserve and the Top of the Cove. • Continue to provide educational flyers. • Continue to provide media information for public education. 16 DEPARTMENT REPORT: 2 Qum& CF`y OF TO: Community Services Commission FROM: Edie Hylton, Community Services Director DATE: December 12, 2011 SUBJECT: Community Services Department Report for September 2011 Upcoming events of the Community Services Department for November 2011: Computers *Mastering MS Word *Digital Camera 2 *Basic Microsoft Word *Intermediate Computer Adobe Photoshop Elements, Senior Center Beginning Computers, Senior Center Mastering MS Word, Senior Center Dance *Swing/Latin Fusion Hip Hop, LQHS Dance, Play, & Pretend, LQHS Beginning Ballet (5-10 yrs.), LQHS Hawaiian Dance (14 yrs. & up), Senior Center Dance & Cheer (6-9 yrs.), LQHS Performance, Rhythm & Tap (18 yrs. & up), LQHS Exercise & Fitness *Morning Workout *Mat Pilates *Yoga for Health *Chair Yoga *Tai Chi Chuan/Qi Gong W.E.L.L.

The mowing heights were lowered in preparation to renovate the Bermuda turf areas. Irrigation times were reduced to slow down the growth of the Bermuda grass. The reason for lowering the turf earlier is so the turf will be brown and dry longer (approximately two to three weeks longer). The benefit is that this reduces the amount of airborne PM 10 levels (particulates smaller than 10 microns in diameter that may lodge in lungs and cause respiratory problems) associated with normal renovation practices. The Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) Smart Scalping guidelines are used to minimize water usage as well as reduce the amount of dust generated from the lower mowing height. The winter over -seeding of the City parks will begin on September 28, 2011 at the Civic Center Campus. The park contractors for the City follow the recommendations from CVAG for "Smart Scalping." This over -seeding program improves air quality, reduces dust, and conserves water. The areas that will not be over -seeded are: La Quinta Park Sports Fields, Sports Complex, Paige Middle School Sports Fields, and Seasons Park Retention Basin. The sports fields are not over -seeded due to the current use by the youth sports associations. The Pioneer and Fritz Burns Dog Parks will be closed for over -seeding during the week of October 3, 2011. The Seasons Dog Park will remain open for the month of October until the other two dog facilities reopen on November 1, 2011. Seasons Dog Park will then close for over -seeding and reopen November 28, 2011. The computer that controls the sports field lighting at La Quinta Park was damaged during the recent power outage that affected most of southern California. Staff worked with the lighting manufacturer to replace the damaged equipment as soon as possible. The replacement components were received and installed on September 19, 2011. La Quinta Park did not have any lights for the fields, basketball court, and skate -park during this period. The system is now operating normally. 23 The Gems symbolize the Wellness System Fees Ruby Level = $50.00 Self -Directed Program; One Year -Key Use Sapphire Level = $175.00 All Ruby Level Benefits; Pre -Fitness Assessment Test; Custom Designed Program by Personal Training Staff; Post -Fitness Assessment Test Diamond Level = $295.00 All Ruby and Sapphire Level Benefits; Three Additional Personal Training Sessions • Members Sold is the # of memberships sold that day. • Walk-ins are people without membership cards that are paying a daily $5 fee. • Daily counts are the # of Members coming into the center that have had their membership cards scanned by us. • The totals at the end of each row is the total of all of the above transactions for the day. 24 DEPARTMENT REPORT: 3 Vim_ 5 ^r of rNE TO: Community Services Commission FROM: Edie Hylton, Community Services Director(� DATE: December 12, 2011 (!YY SUBJECT: Community Services Department Report for October 2011 Upcoming events of the Community Services Department for December 201 1: Computers *Basic Computer *Digital Camera 2 *Basic Microsoft Word *Intermediate Computer Adobe Photoshop Elements, Senior Center Dance *Swing/Latin Fusion *Dance Workshop Hawaiian Dance (14 yrs. & up), Senior Center Excursions Shopping at Cabazon Outlets Exercise & Fitness *Morning Workout *Mat Pilates *Tai Chi Chuan/Qi Gong W.E.L.L.

This same material was used for rebuilding the other backstops as part of last year's Sports Complex renovation project. The renovation project also used recycled plastic lumber for the trash cans and picnic tables. New park rules signs and field identification signs were installed to replace the old and weathered signs. All over -seeding has been completed in the parks except for the picnic area at La Quinta Park and the Seasons and Fritz Burns Dog Parks. These three areas will be over -seeded during the first week of November. The two dog parks remained open while Pioneer Dog Park was over -seeded in October. Now that Pioneer is open, the other two facilities will be closed in November for over -seeding. 31 The Gems symbolize the Wellness System Fees Ruby Level = $50.00 Self -Directed Program; One Year -Key Use Sapphire Level = $175.00 All Ruby Level Benefits; Pre -Fitness Assessment Test; Custom Designed Program by Personal Training Staff; Post -Fitness Assessment Test Diamond Level = $295.00 All Ruby and Sapphire Level Benefits; Three Additional Personal Training Sessions • Members Sold is the # of memberships sold that day. • Walk-ins are people without membership cards that are paying a daily $5 fee. • Daily counts are the # of Members coming into the center that have had their membership cards scanned by us. • The totals at the end of each row is the total of all of the above transactions for the day.
