STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: ADOPT RESOLUTION TO REAFFIRM ADOPTION OF ANNUAL
ASSESSMENT FOR COUNTY SERVICE AREA 152 STREET SWEEPING, AUTHORIZE
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TO CONTINUE TO LEVY ASSESSMENTS, AND INDEMNIFY AND
HOLD THE COUNTY HARMLESS FOR LEVYING ASSESSMENTS ON CITY PARCELS
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution to reaffirm adoption of the annual assessment for County Service
Area 152 for Fiscal Year 2018/19, authorize Riverside County to continue to levy
assessments, and indemnify and hold the County harmless for levying assessments on
City parcels.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City has an agreement with Riverside County (County) wherein the County
assesses properties within the City for the maintenance and operations of street
sweeping, flood control, retention basin, and other drainage facilities within the City to
improve overall storm water quality.
These activities are required under the Clean Water Act and the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System Program.
The Council must annually adopt a resolution authorizing the County to assess City
parcels and hold the County harmless for levying the assessments.
The per parcel assessment rate will remain unchanged from its original 1997 rate of
$9.99 per Benefit Assessment Unit for the Fiscal Year 2018/19.
FISCAL IMPACT
County Service Area (“CSA”) 152 assessments generate approximately $300,000 per year.
These funds are held by the County and are designated for expenditures related to storm
water pollution mitigation under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permit. The City may request reimbursement for qualifying expenditures, such as
retention basin maintenance, and the revenue is recognized in General Fund (Account No.
101-0000-43633, CSA 152 Assessments).
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
In 1991, the County enacted CSA 152 to provide funding for local jurisdictions to maintain
flood control and storm drain facilities. In 1994, the City joined CSA 152, and in 1997 the
CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 2
15
Council approved the Benefit Assessment Unit rate of $9.99. The City/County Agreement
is available for review in the Public Works Department.
Staff recommends the City’s continued participation in CSA 152 and to authorize the
County to levy and collect these assessments for Fiscal Year 2018/19.
ALTERNATIVES
Staff does not recommend an alternative.

activities sanctioned by the permit, and the city manager shall have discretionary authority to prescribe
any such necessary or appropriate conditions. The permittee (applicant) shall have the right to a due
process hearing before the city manager, if the hearing is duly requested, in order to protest, or to

chapter shall cease to be effective for any purpose on the effective date of the repealing resolution.

after opportunity has been granted to the permittee for a due process hearing before the city manager,
as set forth in Sections 2.08.180 through 2.08.220 of this code. Any person aggrieved by any decision of
the city manager may appeal to the city council pursuant to Sections 2.04.100 through 2.04.130 of this
code.

of the hearing pursuant to sections 1.01.300 and 1.01.310 of this code, the permit may be suspended or
revoked, or may be modified in such particulars as are deemed necessary in the public interest. Any
such suspension, revocation or modification shall be effective upon the date the notice is deemed
served pursuant to section 1.01.300 of this code. Any such order of suspension, revocation or
33
modification shall also be effective as to any employee or agent of the permittee, which employee or
agent has been notified orally or in writing of the substance of the order.

permit, such filing shall continue the permit in full force and effect until the making of the final order by
the city manager terminating proceedings. Failure of the city manager to revoke, suspend, limit, or
condition the permit shall have the effect of granting the renewal. The application for renewal shall
become a part of the pending proceeding and be subject to all evidence which has been or is thereafter
presented. No further notice to the applicant is required and the city manager is authorized to consider
and take action upon the application in accordance with this chapter.

with all permit conditions referred to, and/or authorized in or by Sections 11.13.090, 11.13.100 and
11.13.110. If any such permit conditions are being violated or not complied with, then the state laws
regarding bingo games shall be deemed fully applicable to the permittee and its personnel managing,
supervising or conducting the bingo games, to the same extent as if no permit has ever been issued;
provided, however, that members of the public who are participating in the bingo games not as
personnel of the permittee, which members of the public have no knowledge or reason to know, of the
aforesaid violations of or noncompliance with the permit conditions, shall be deemed to be participating

Chapter 11.24 PARADES
11.24.010 [delete in its entirety]
11.24.020 Purpose.
Parades and public events of a similar nature give rise to a festive atmosphere, uplift the public spirit
and act as boosters for charitable drives and philanthropic programs. However, attendant with these
public benefits are problems of traffic and pedestrian control. Therefore, in order to facilitate the
movement of traffic, fire trucks, ambulances and other emergency vehicles and to preserve the peace,
health, safety and welfare of the people, it is necessary to enact this chapter regulating parades. (Ord.
10 § 1, 1982)
11.24.030 Definitions.
A. “City manager” shall mean the city manager of the city or his/her designee.
B. Congested Traffic Areas. As used in this chapter, “congested traffic areas” include Highway 111,
Washington Street, Calle Tampico, Avenida Bermudas, Eisenhower Drive, and Jefferson Street, since
these streets at the present time are the main streets leading into and out of the city and present the
gravest traffic congestion problems.
C. Parade. As used in this chapter, “parade” means and includes any march, procession or assembly
consisting of persons, animals or vehicles, or a combination thereof, upon any public street, sidewalk,
alley or other public right-of-way, which does not comply with normal and usual traffic regulations or
controls.
11.24.040 Permit—Required—Criteria.
A. No person shall conduct or manage any parade without a written permit. Such a permit shall be
issued by the city manager after report by the chief of police. The city manager may refuse a permit for
a parade when the primary function thereof is to publicize or advertise a person, business organization
or event unless the event serves a public purpose and the overall good of the community. Permits shall
not be issued if the parade would require extraordinary police service or endanger public safety. The
criteria to be considered in the denial of a permit on the grounds of the endangering of public safety are
(1) the route of the parade, (2) the total period of elapsed time for the event, (3) the proximity in time
and area of other similar events, (4) the nature and purpose of the parade, (5) the special traffic
problems such an event would engender, (6) the ability of the police department to control the event,
(7) the number of persons, animals or units involved and (8) any health, moral or safety hazards that
might threaten the community as a result of the activity. (Ord. 10 § 1, 1982)
11.24.043 Permit—Conditions may be attached.
As conditions attached to the granting, use and effectiveness of any parade permit, the city manager
may impose conditions concerning the time and place of the parade; the area and manner of assembling
and disbanding the parade; the maximum length thereof; the maximum and minimum speed thereof;
the number and types of vehicles, if any; and such other requirements as are found by the city manager
to be necessary for the protection of persons or property and control of other traffic and to assure that
the parade will be conducted in conformance with the purposes, objectives and requirements set forth
in this chapter and in compliance with all other applicable laws, rules and regulations, and in a manner
39
not unduly detrimental to the public interest. When it is practical to do so, the city manager shall give
reasonable consideration to the formulation of permit conditions which will enable the making of
findings prerequisite to permit issuance (per Section 11.24.080 and any other applicable provisions in
this chapter). (Ord. 10 § 1, 1982)
11.24.046 Permit—Conditions re public costs and indemnity.
A. Each parade permit shall contain a condition for prepayment of a parade fee to the city in an amount
reasonably estimated by the city manager to be sufficient to cover any extraordinary costs and expenses
to the city which will be occasioned by the parade for (but not limited to) such necessary public services
as police department added costs of policing, crowd control and traffic and parking control, placement
and removal of barricades and signs for parade routes and parking control, and for cleanup of streets
and sidewalks at the conclusion of the parade.
B. Unless specially waived by the city council, the city manager shall require, as a condition to issuance
of a parade permit, that the organization or party staging or sponsoring the parade file evidence of
insurance (or self-insurance) coverage for public liability and property damage which might result from

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: March 6, 2018
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: AUTHORIZE OVERNIGHT TRAVEL FOR THE COMMUNITY RESOURCES
DIRECTOR TO ATTEND THE ENGAGING LOCAL GOVERNMENT LEADERS 2018 CONFERENCE
IN GOLDEN, COLORADO, MAY 16-18, 2018
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize overnight travel for the Community Resources Director to attend Engaging
Local Government Leaders 2018 Conference in Golden, Colorado, May 16-18, 2018.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•Engaging Local Government Leaders (ELGL) is dedicated to connecting innovative
local government leaders.
•Conference attendees would participate in discussion forums, tours, and network
with local government leaders.
FISCAL IMPACT
Estimated expenses are $1,600 for attendee. This includes training registration, travel,
lodging, parking, and meals. Funds are available in the Community Resources Travel and
Training budget (101-3001-60320).
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The ELGL conference provides a unique opportunity for government leaders to engage
and collaborate on innovative ideas from both the public and private sectors seeking to
improve government processes. This January the City hosted the ELGL Roadshow where
discussion panels shared information on various topics and attendees had the
opportunity to ask questions and share ideas. The Community Resources Director has
been invited to speak on “Creating a 21st Century City” and share La Quinta’s successful
methods with other local government agencies.
ALTERNATIVES
Council could deny this travel request.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: March 6, 2018
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH
VIATRON SYSTEMS, INC. FOR DOCUMENT SCANNING AND QUALITY CONTROL SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION
Approve Amendment No. 1 to Contract Services Agreement with ViaTRON Systems, Inc. to
amend Section 2.1 – Contract Sum, not to exceed $60,000 per fiscal year; and authorize
the City Manager to execute the amendment.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•The City entered into two agreements for scanning services; one with ViaTRON
Systems, Inc. (ViaTRON) and a second with Matrix Imaging Products, Inc. (Matrix)
in August and September 2017, respectively.
•ViaTRON has consistently met project deadlines and delivered high-quality
services; and Matrix has been unsuccessful in meeting deadlines, records format
specifications, and quality control standards.
•Staff recommends the City issue a “Notice of Termination” to Matrix, transfer the
remaining funds to the ViaTRON agreement encumbrance, and execute
Amendment No. 1 to the agreement with ViaTRON to increase the contract sum to
cover additional document scanning and quality control services.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds in the amount of $60,000 are budgeted in fiscal year 2017/18 in the Professional
Services Account (101-1005-60103). This Amendment will re-allocate the $20,000
initially reserved for Matrix to ViaTRON.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
On June 19, 2017, staff issued a request for proposal (RFP) for document scanning and
quality control services; 13 responses were received. ViaTRON and Matrix were selected
as finalists based on their qualifications, experience, prices, and scope of services.
On August 14, 2017, the City entered into the agreement with ViaTRON. To date, ViaTRON
has completed four large projects, has consistently delivered these projects ahead of
deadlines, has generated high-quality scanned images, and produced records meeting
the City’s quality control standards.
CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 6
97
Matrix delayed the execution of its agreement to September 2017. This was due to a
delay in providing the City with the required insurance certificates. To date, Matrix has
completed one medium project, which was delivered 40 days past due, was not produced
in the specified Laserfiche format, and failed to meet the City’s quality control standards.
Staff wishes to consolidate its scanning projects to one contract provider and
recommends that the City issue a “Notice of Termination” to Matrix; and execute
Amendment No. 1 with ViaTRON increasing the contract sum from not to exceed $40,000
to $60,000 per fiscal year; and task ViaTRON with the additional scanning needs of the
City.
ALTERNATIVES
Council may elect not to approve this Amendment.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: March 6, 2018
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: APPROPRIATE FUNDS AND APPROVE AUTO DEALERSHIPS’
IMPROVEMENTS ALONG HIGHWAY 111 FRONTAGE
RECOMMENDATION
Appropriate $500,000 from unassigned General Fund capital project savings reserves
to the Capital Improvement Fund and approve the auto dealerships’ Highway 111
frontage improvements.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•In November of 2015, Council directed staff to collaborate with Highway 111
auto dealerships to configure an auto display south of the sidewalk for a trial
period.
•The trial period was successful for the dealerships and they have submitted a
proposal (Attachment 1) for an improved frontage display.
•This improved frontage display would be the first rejuvenation project for
Highway 111 south of Adams, adding new display pads (55), sidewalk,
irrigation, landscaping, and signage.
FISCAL IMPACT
The General Fund has $1,081,966 available from savings for completed capital
improvement projects of which $500,000 would be appropriated from unassigned
reserves to the Capital Improvement Fund (401-0000-80040).
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
In October of 2015, Direct Point Advisors (DPA) and representatives from each auto
dealership made a presentation to Council, announcing efforts to revive the regional
auto dealership branding. Thereafter, Staff and DPA have engaged in preliminary
information exchanges. The collective dealerships are interested in seeking City
cooperation and partnership to optimize branding and visibility. The group’s requests
for assistance include the following:
•Expand display area along Highway 111 frontage for Cadillac/Chevrolet,
Hyundai, and Nissan;
•Design and placement of signage and inventory;
•Secure approvals for select design elements, lighting, and rebrand of La Quinta
Auto Center;
BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 1
101
• Repurpose street roundabouts for vehicle displays;
• Explore joint venture opportunities for recycled water irrigation to
landscaping/frontage areas; and
The scope of the City's responsibilities would entail removing the existing meandering
sidewalk and landscaping along Highway 111, grading the area to accept a new
sidewalk and then pouring new city sidewalk next to the Highway 111 curb, per the
plans. All work will be done as a prevailing wage project.
A formal development agreement including site plan will be created between the
dealers and the City. The agreement will highlight each dealers’ role and responsibility.
The Planning Commission will review and recommend addressing future entitlements
for the proposed project.
Staff is seeking to proceed with further improvements on Highway 111 east of Adams.

CITY COUNCI MEETING: March 6, 2018
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: APPROVE A PURCHASE WITH INSIGHT PUBLIC SECTOR FOR MICROSOFT
OFFICE 365 LICENSES UNDER THE RIVERSIDE COUNTY MASTER AGREEMENT
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the purchase of three-year licenses from Insight Public Sector for Microsoft Office 365
licenses through the County of Riverside Master Agreement and authorize the City Manager to
execute related documents.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•The City has used Microsoft products for over twenty years.
•The City’s current servers are approaching usable end-of-life (EOL) and must be replaced
or shifted to cloud-based services.
•Server replacement is costly and requires regular maintenance.
•Office 365 is Software as a Service (SaaS) that will provide cloud-based file repository,
enhanced security features, new productivity and collaboration tools, and future
integration of a cloud phone system.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost to purchase licenses is $89,584.44 ($29,861.48 per year for three years) (Attachment
1). Funds for the first year are budgeted in in the Information Technology Fund (502-0000-
60301, Software Licenses). Funds will be requested in future year budgets for the second and
third contract years.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The City has used Microsoft systems and programs for more than twenty years. During that
time, the City has procured products through retail, original equipment manufacturer, and
volume licensing agreements. After extensive analysis, staff recommends that the City
upgrade to Office 365, and determined that the most cost effective means is to contract with
Microsoft through the cooperative purchasing program established by the County of Riverside.
This allows the City to enroll as an “Affiliate” on the County’s Master Agreement (Attachment
2), giving the City access to the latest software releases at the lowest available rate.
In 2017, a Project Action Team (PAT) was formed as part of the La Quinta Academy. One task
entailed analyzing replacing the existing computer system server storage hardware or
migrating to cloud-based storage configuration. The second task entailed evaluating Office
365 and Google’s suite of products. The PAT spent months reviewing and testing both; they
BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 2
113
determined that a cloud-based Office 365 system was the best fit based upon business needs,
software tools, and cost.
Most of the City’s operational software is SaaS applications hosted in the cloud. These include:
• Tyler,
• TrakIt,
• Laserfische, and
• NeoGov.
Office 365 offers a variety of security, collaboration, and productivity features and would
provide:
• New email addresses (@laquintaca.gov);
• The latest versions (both online and desktop) of Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint;
• A shared file repository stored in Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program
(FEDRAMP), compliant “Government Only” data centers located in the United States;
• New collaboration and workflow tools such as Teams, Yammer, Planner, and Flow; and
• The ability to replace the old phone system with a new system without additional
licensing fees.
ALTERNATIVES
The Council could elect to not upgrade these systems and instead patch together the existing
system. This approach would not be cost effective (maintenance costs increase on an annual
basis) and using outdated systems may hamper staff productivity.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: March 6, 2018
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: APPROPRIATE FUNDS AND APPROVE EQUIPMENT PURCHASE FROM
NATIONAL FITNESS CAMPAIGN FOR A NATIONAL FITNESS COURT AT LA QUINTA PARK
RECOMMENDATION
Appropriate funds and approve purchase of fitness equipment from National Fitness
Campaign for a National Fitness Court at La Quinta Park, and authorize the City
Manager to execute the agreement.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•National Fitness Campaign (NFC) is a non-profit organization that promotes
outdoor fitness using NFC equipment, self-training programs and mobile apps.
•NFC invited the City to apply for their 2018 campaign; the City was awarded a
$10,000 grant and a $5,000 credit as a result.
•Staff and NFC identified La Quinta Park as the suitable location (Attachment 1)
for this equipment.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost to purchase and install the equipment is $123,000. The Park Equipment
& Facility Fund has a $3.1 million fund balance. Staff requests an appropriation of
$123,000 from this fund to the Parks Account (503-0000-71060). The anticipated
budget is:
NFC Fitness Equipment (Attachment 2) $75,000
Concrete Pad $30,000
Poured Sports Surface $18,000
Bolt-on equipment installation $0 (City Staff)
Total $123,000
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
In July 2017, NFC recognized the City’s commitment to health and fitness and invited
the City to apply for their 2018 campaign. The campaign entails constructing a 38’ x
38’ fitness court that uses NFC proprietary equipment (COURT), body weight exercises
specifically designed for the COURT, a mobile app, and three levels of self-training
programs (beginner, intermediate, and advanced). If awarded, NFC then provides
national and local promotion, and a launch party. NFC is the only provider of this
equipment. In August 2017 Council directed staff to apply.
BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 3
133
The application was approved and the City was awarded a $10,000 grant from fitness
music app company and NFC campaign partner, Fit Radio, and will receive a $5,000
credit for a sports floor on the COURT.
Staff and NFC reviewed sites North of Highway 111 and settled on La Quinta Park as
the host venue. There were discussions of re-using a portion of the existing skatepark
pad; however, it was determined that the site lacked the proper drainage and
retrofitting would be cost prohibitive. The proposed location is on the Southwest
corner of the park. This site is adjacent to the parking lot and has high visibility from
Blackhawk Way.
NFC requires a 50% deposit to start the 8-week production schedule (Attachment 3).
During production staff will secure vendors for the engineered slab and sports floor
surface. Staff will install the fitness equipment with oversight by a Certified
Playground Inspector. If approved, the La Quinta Fitness Court could be open by mid-
April 2018.
ALTERNATIVES
Council may elect to not proceed, select a different location, or select a later timeline.

Applicable Safety Standards
144
National Fitness Campaign Terms of Sale
Page 3 of 6
The Fitness Court is an outdoor adult fitness court and not intended for use by
individuals who are younger than 14 years of age.
Many states require the construction and installation of playgrounds to comply with American
Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and Consumer Product Safety Commission (CSPC)
guidelines. Although ASTM has adopted ASTM F3101-15 Standard Specification for
Unsupervised Public Use Outdoor Fitness Equipment (there are no CPSC guidelines), no
states currently require compliance with the ASTM outdoor fitness guidelines.
It is common for public bodies to require that playground equipment be certified by the
International Playground Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA) as compliant with
ASTM standards. No certification is available for the Fitness Court because IPEMA does not
currently certify compliance of outdoor fitness equipment.
Compliance with the standards in ASTM F3101-15 is voluntary absent a legal requirement.
Although NFC looks to the safety standards of ASTM F3101-15 in its design and manufacture
of the Fitness Court, it is not able to certify compliance with these voluntary guidelines.
Limitation of Liability
Purchaser acknowledges that NFC exercises no control over Purchaser’s selection,
installation, or construction of the Fitness Court System and Purchaser therefore assumes all
risk of liability for the result obtained from or the safety of the Fitness Court System. To the
extent permitted by law, NFC will not be liable for any indirect, special, incidental,
consequential, or punitive damages of any nature whatsoever, or any lost profits or revenues
or diminution in value, including without limitation personal injury or property damage to any
person whether based on warranty, contract, negligence, or any other applicable legal theory,
arising out of the selection, installation, inability to use, or the use of the Fitness Court System,
regardless of whether such damages were foreseeable, whether NFC was advised of the
possibility of such damages, or the legal or equitable theory upon which the claim is based.
Except for its Warranty replacement obligations, NFC’s aggregate liability to Purchaser under
this Agreement will not exceed the Purchase Price. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Purchaser assumes all risk and liability for the use of the Fitness Court System.
Installation and Assembly
Assembly, installation, or erection is the responsibility of the Purchaser, and NFC accepts no
liability whatsoever for defects or damages resulting from the Purchaser’s assembly,
installation or erection of the Fitness Court System or any claims for death or personal injury
resulting from any use of the Fitness Court System to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by
such improper assembly or the resulting defects or damages to the Fitness Court System. In
such circumstances, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold NFC harmless for any liability,
damages or costs arising out of or relating to Purchaser’s acts or omissions in accordance with
the section entitled “Indemnification and Attorneys’ Fees.”

City of La Quinta
CITY COUNCIL MEETING: March 6, 2018
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: UPDATE ON PUBLIC SAFETY CAMERA SYSTEM REVIEW
RECOMMENDATION
Discuss and provide direction.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City is focused on enhancing community safety by implementing the
technology that is shaping the future of public safety.
In October 2016, an Ad Hoc Committee (Committee) was established to assess
the potential use of a public-safety camera system.
In March 2017, a survey was conducted where 714 respondents replied with 83%
in support of cameras, 13% opposed, and 3% undecided.
In July 2017, Council directed staff to present information to the community, and
obtain feedback.
This Study Session was scheduled to apprise the Council of the Committee’s
efforts and present the results derived from these meetings.
FISCAL IMPACT - None
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
In October 2016, the Council established an Ad Hoc Committee (Committee) to assess
the pros and cons of a public-safety camera system. The Committee visited cities that
use public-safety camera systems, collected background data, and in March 2017,
conducted a community-wide opinion survey. 714 respondents replied with 83% in
support of cameras, 13% opposed, and 3% undecided (Attachment 1).
Since the last Council update on July 5, 2017, the Committee has conducted the
following:
Four community meetings were held in October and November of 2017 of which
there were approximately 41 combined attendees. The feedback was generally
supportive (Attachment 2).
Two focus group meetings were held in January and February of 2018 of which
there were 47 combined attendees. In the first Focus Group, 15 people were in
STUDY SESSION ITEM NO. 1
149
support and 1 was opposed. In the second Focus Group, 12 were in support and 3
were opposed (Attachment 3).
Staff circulated a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to engage camera vendors and
assess services and equipment, including grant opportunities. Ten vendors
responded, and the equipment and services varied significantly from vendor to
vendor. More specifications will be needed if the City elects to solicit bids.
Scheduled presentations with the Planning, Community Services, Housing and
Financial Advisory Commissions for the months of March and April.
Collected data from other cities that use camera systems to gauge their
performance and to review their policies regarding video retention and
accessibility.
Determined that if the City would elect to proceed, additional non-staff assistance
would be needed to prepare camera specifications for a Request for Proposals,
and assist the City with securing grant funding.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: March 6, 2018
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: DISCUSS CONVERSION OF AN ADDITIONAL TENNIS COURT TO FOUR
PICKLEBALL COURTS AT FRITZ BURNS PARK
RECOMMENDATION
Discuss converting an additional tennis court to four Pickleball courts at Fritz Burns
Park.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Council awarded a contract on April 18, 2017 to Pacific Tennis Courts, Inc. in the
amount of $387,859 to construct two new tennis courts and convert an existing
tennis court to four pickleball courts.
This project was completed in October 2017 and provides seven tennis courts
and four pickleball courts.
Pickleball players have requested additional courts due to high demand.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost to convert an existing tennis court into four pickleball courts is approximately
$30,000. The cost includes in-ground sleeves, net posts, net, and surface coating.
Funds are available in the Park Equipment Replacement account (501-0000-71060).
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Tennis and Pickleball Court Conversion project was in response to requests from
tennis players for additional courts. An existing skate park was relocated to a little-
used parking lot, and this area was converted back to tennis courts. However, during
the design process, pickleball became increasingly popular and the project design was
altered to build two new tennis courts and convert one existing court to four pickleball
courts. This brought the current total number of tennis courts to seven and the total
number of pickleball courts to four. This project was completed in October 2017.
Pickleball players subsequently contacted the Community Services Commission
(Commission) to request additional pickleball courts. The Commission discussed their
request on November 13, 2017. Since the courts were still new, the Commission
recommended that staff continue to monitor the amount of tennis and pickleball play
for one year.
STUDY SESSION ITEM NO. 2
157
At the February 20, Council meeting, the Mayor requested a Study Session be
scheduled to review the need for additional pickleball courts at Fritz Burns Park. Staff
seeks Council direction regarding converting one additional tennis court to four
Pickleball courts.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: March 6, 2018
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: DISCUSS PROPOSED JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT WITH EAST VALLEY
COALITION FOR REGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
RECOMMENDATION
Discuss proposed Joint Powers Agreement with East Valley Coalition for regional
economic development.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2014, the City was invited by the City of Indio and County of Riverside to
explore an eastern Coachella Valley economic development partnership.
In January 2015, representatives from the Cities of Coachella, Indio, La Quinta,
and County of Riverside discussed forming a formal partnership to conduct
regional economic development activities.
On June 2, 2015, Council approved the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
to join the East Valley Coalition (EVC) for a two-year term at a cost of $10,000
per year.
A Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) would formalize the agreement between the
Cities of Coachella, Indio, La Quinta, and County of Riverside (Members) to
implement economic development programs for the Members.
FISCAL IMPACT
The anticipated costs for a JPA are estimated to be $15,000 - $25,000 annually.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
In February 2014, the City of Indio and County of Riverside invited the City to explore
an eastern Coachella Valley economic development partnership that stemmed from
the dissolution of the California Enterprise Zone Program. Throughout the year,
representatives of the involved agencies continued to meet and discuss regional
collaboration of economic development. These discussions included the Coachella
Valley Economic Partnership (CVEP).
A proposal for regional economic development was presented by the County of
Riverside for a formal partnership in the eastern Coachella Valley in January 2015.
During the presentation, the Cities of Coachella, Indio, La Quinta, and County of
Riverside were present.
STUDY SESSION ITEM NO. 3
159
Additionally, the County of Riverside devoted staffing resources (Economic
Development Regional Manager) and developed a website for the EVC. Provisions
within the MOU included a program evaluation and a report to each community’s
governing board describing accomplishments and funding recommendations for the
second year. There are no binding provisions to provide funding for the additional
years of the agreement should the City choose to not continue participation.
A JPA would formalize a legal agreement between the Cities of Coachella, Indio, La
Quinta, and County of Riverside (Members) to create a common power to jointly
implement economic development programs and outreach for the Members. Members
would work together and share resources for mutual support to stimulate private
investment and industrial growth in economically depressed areas within the joining
agencies boundaries. Members would share powers relating to the management,
coordination, marketing, and administration of economic development programs and
projects.
The JPA will establish a “Partner” agreement for non-agency or private entities that
desire to be part of the Authority in an advisory capacity. Partners would not have
voting rights.
Once established the Members will develop:
a business plan,
a marketing plan,
the prioritization of key economically depressed areas, and
private entity outreach.
The County of Riverside, Cities of Coachella and Indio will consider the JPA at a future
date.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: March 6, 2018
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO VACATE A 2,383-SQUARE-FOOT PORTION OF
PALOMA COURT AT CALLE PALOMA
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution to vacate a 2,383-square-foot portion of Paloma Court at Calle
Paloma.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Malia Monroe and William Davis (Applicant) have filed a street vacation
application to vacate a portion of Paloma Court fronting the house at 50925
Paloma Court.
The right-of-way proposed to be vacated is not needed for street purposes.
Southern California Gas Company and Coachella Valley Water District have
requested easements over the proposed street vacation area but no utility
agency has submitted objections to the street vacation proposal.
This proposed vacation is consistent with the La Quinta General Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT - None.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The portion of Paloma Court was dedicated for public use on the subdivision map for
Desert Club Tract Unit 5 in 1946. The street configuration was changed when the City
constructed Paloma Court under Assessment District 91-1B, creating an area that is not
needed for street purposes. Applicant wishes to build a future addition to the house
and filed an application to vacate the right-of-way fronting 50925 Paloma Court to
meet setback requirements for the future addition. The proposed street vacation area
is shown in Attachment 1.
No local agency has submitted objections to the street vacation proposal; however,
Southern California Gas Company and Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) have
requested an easement over the entire street vacation area.
AGENCY AND PUBLIC REVIEW
Public Notice
Notice regarding the proposed street vacation was mailed out to real property owners
within five hundred feet of the proposed street vacation, and the Public Hearing notice
was published in The Desert Sun on February 22, 2018. To date, no comments received
and comments from other utility agencies and the Planning Division were considered.
PUBLIC HEARING ITEM NO. 1
183
Environmental Review
The Design and Development Department has determined the proposed action is
categorically exempt under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 15301
–Class 1(c).
ALTERNATIVES
Council may choose to not approve the street vacation, or incorporate any adjustments
deemed appropriate in order to approve the street vacation.

REPORTS AND INFORMATIONAL ITEM NO. 28
Palm Springs Airport Commission Report
Meetings on – January 10 and February 14, 2018 Airport Commission Meeting
Budget and Finance Report: 2017 year end statistics are now available and very
positive: Total passengers are up 5.10% representing 2,100,072. Best month continues
to be March with 314,870 and lowest month is August with 76,752. The largest growth
was in the month of December with a 10.4% increase over 2016.
Discussion and Action Report:
‐ Airport Commission Meetings:
‐ December 13, 2017 Meeting: Although I was not able to attend this meeting,
an important recap is that a vote was taken on requesting that the City of Palm
Springs supporting the Air Traffic Control Reform Act was not approved based
on it being a tie vote. No doubt this will be brought forward again in the next
few months for a recount.
‐ January 10, 2018 Meeting: Primary discussion was based on presentation by
Palm Springs Bureau of Tourism Advertising and Marketing Program and how it
is a strong driver of tourism for the airport. Their focus is on the direct flight
market and they bring press trips to the valley for site inspections, print 200,000
visitor’s guide which are distributed at the airport in the baggage claim area
and also attend consumer travel shows touting our destination. From their
website they send a monthly visitor newsletter which is sent to 320,000
individuals. The bureau is primarily underwritten by City of Palms Springs who
funds the Tourism Bureau $2 million annually.
‐ February 14, 2018 Meeting: A short meeting with a brief presentation by the
Civil Air Patrol and their mission. They are based at the airport and utilize the PS
Air Museum for their meetings. Excellent feedback on billboard campaign
throughout the Coachella Valley to promote the non-stop service with the
tagline “Easy Come, Easy Go”. A kiosk concession bid will be open late Spring
for retail items such as t-shirts and caps. A few members of the public spoke
about their concern with airport noise as they live in close proximity to the
airport.
Next Airport Commission Meeting is March 14. Marketing Commission Meeting
is March 7.
