RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the 2013/2014 Community Services Marketing Plan.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
The Community Services Marketing Plan (Attachment 1) identifies methods to
refine and improve communicating programs, services, and special events to City
residents. This plan provides the Community Services Commission with
information regarding the recent number of programs and services, growth or
reduction in participation rates, and marketing and promotion methods.
This year's plan addresses the recommendations and action items in the
Community Services Master Plan and Work Plan to increase marketing efforts.
This Marketing Plan seeks to reach more residents through a variety of web,
internet, print, public relations, and promotional methods. The key components of
this plan are included in the 2013/2014 budget.
As discussed in last year's planning efforts, concern was raised about not mailing
the Activities Guide and its impact on attendance in programs and events. The
participation in programs was over lower than in previous years. Staff responded to
this concern by developing a summer mailer to increase the promotional efforts. In
addition, this fiscal year a monthly insert in the GEM rather than a bi-annual
Activities Guide provides a more cost effective way to increase marketing efforts to
residents. Residents receive a monthly listing in the mail to keep programs and
events at "top of mind".
The plan includes increasing attendance at the Humana Health and Well -Being
Activities, coordinated youth sports programs with the YMCA of the Desert, La
Quinta Fitness Center, and continuing to improve the event coordination for the 41n
of July event. Monthly email blasts will continue for additional promotion to the
households that have registered previously for programs.
A new focus that the Commission may want to consider is more Community
Outreach. Commissioners could assign themselves to attend one community
meeting monthly and then report back to Commissioners about the issues.
Agencies such as the Desert Recreation District, Boys and Girls Club, YMCA of the
Desert, Sports Associations and local HOA's could be included to learn about
services and share the programs and services provided by the City.
ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives available to the Commission are:
The Community Services Marketing Plan was recommended by the 2007 Master
Plan and the 2013/14 Commission Work Plan to strengthen the promotion of
programs and services to residents. Staff does not have an alternative.

An exhibit of the attraction
of the Salton Sea in the
`50s and `60s for boating,
water skiing, fishing,
camping, hiking, and bird
watching
With over 500,000 visitors per year in its
heyday, the Salton Sea offered marinas,
championship golf courses, shopping
centers, a private airstrip and luxury
resort hotels. Bing Crosby, Sonny Bono,
the Beach Boys, Jerry Lewis, the Marx
Brothers and other celebrities flocked to
the Sea along with President Eisenhower
who tried out the new Salton City golf
course. By the mid-1960s park
attendance rivaled that of Yosemite
National Park.
For a wider perspective on its history and
a glimpse into its present existence,
view photographs and interview excerpts
of current Salton Sea residents and
visitors from Christina Lange's new book
Portraits and Voices of the Salton Sea.

Public Art Surrounds You in La Quinta
Art. It's everywhere you look in La Quinta — in places
you realize, and some you may not. The City of La
Quinta has a strong commitment to preserve the area's
unique character and to balance development with
artistic enhancement. That's why the City established
the Art in Public Places Program.
Art in Public Places Program
La Quinta has become a mecca flourishing in
recreation, resort, housing and economic and business
development. Art has played an important role in the
creation of character and image in the City of La Quinta.
The Art in Public Places program plays an integral role
as La Quinta grows and continues to be enhanced.
Public Art is one method of ensuring that the visual
experience of the City is rich with the balance of
cultural, environmental and artistic beauty.
Art in Everyday Life
Many public art pieces are recognizable throughout the
City, but there are several that are part of everyday life in
La Quinta that might surprise you. For example, the mural
on the La Quinta Car Wash — known as Desert Mural by
Marcia Gibbons and students from La Quinta High School
— is public artwork. Even daily chores and errands are
more enjoyable when you're greeted with interesting
artwork. The bus stops along Hwy 111 have artistic panels
integrated into the design.
What about art in the park? For a City that's rich with the
arts and culture — absolutely. The City's goal of making art
part of our everyday lives is apparent in even some of the
most unexpected places.

Civic Center Art Purchases
Another faction of the Art in Public Places is the Civic
Center Art Purchase Program, which began in 1988.This
program involves the purchase of art pieces from the La
Quinta Arts Festival to enhance the Civic Center facilities.

Community Services Updates
For July 2013
On July 1, 2013, the sports fields at La Quinta Park, Sports Complex, and Colonel
Paige Middle School were closed for annual field renovation. This renovation is
necessary due to the excessive amount of wear these fields are subject to from the
fall, winter, and spring youth and adult sports programs. During this renovation,
the sports fields are aerated and top dressed using equipment and personnel from
SilverRock Golf Course. This is in addition to the aeration and field maintenance
that is provided by the parks landscape maintenance contractor throughout the
year. Staff informed the various sports associations that the fields were closed for
athletic use. The golf course maintenance crew was scheduled to aerate and top
dress the playing fields July 1-3, 2013. The fields will remain closed for recovery
and grow -in until the fall sports season beginning in September 2013.
The City has been draining the Civic Center Campus Lake for two weeks. Staff
has intentionally been draining it slowly because the Lake has never been drained
and the maintenance issues are uncertain. What is certain is that it has become
necessary to drain and clean the lake because of the build-up of phosphates and
sediment that have made the ozone system (water treatment) less effective.
Additionally, the lake aeration lines are 20 years old and the pipe for the center
fountain needs to be rebuilt.
