at $111 million. The primary reason for the increase was due to $2.1 million in

City received during January.
During the month, the Local Agency In vestment Fund account increased $13.0
million. Treasury bills in the amount of $15 million matured and were placed in a

AGENDA CATEGORY:
BUSINESS SESSION:
CONSENT CALENDAR: 3
STUDY SESSION:
PUBLIC HEARING:
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Receive and file.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Revenue and expenditure reports are submitted monthly to City Council for
review.
The reports summarize year-to-date revenues and expenditures of the City.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The Statements of Revenues and Expenditures for the City are submitted to the
City Council monthly to review, receive, and file. The January 31, 2014
Statements of Revenues and Expenditures are attached (Attachments 1 and 2,
respectively).
Revenues received for all funds through January 31, 2014, are at approximately
$30.2 million or 20.1 percent of th e budgeted amount of $150.2 million.
Revenues are not received uniformly throughout the fiscal year, which accounts for
the low percentage for the first six months of the fiscal year. This is why the City
maintains a cash-flow reserve as part of its overall reserves; the cash-flow reserve
covers City expenses until a bulk of the m unicipal revenues are paid to the City.
The cash-flow reserve is then replenished.
39
Expenditures for all funds are at 16.6 percent of their budgeted amounts. Due to
timing differences in billing from various vendors, the expenditures are also below
the budgeted amounts.
ALTERNATIVES:
None.
Report prepared by: Patrick Griffin, Interim Finance Director
Report approved for submission by: Frank J. Spevacek, City Manager

ITEM TITLE: ADOPT RESOLUTION REAFFIRMING
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT FOR COUNTY SERVICE AREA
152, AUTHORIZE RIVERSIDE COUNTY TO CONTINUE
TO LEVY ASSESSMENTS, AND INDEMNIFY AND HOLD
THE COUNTY HARMLESS FOR LEVYING ASSESSMENTS ON CITY PARCELS
AGENDA CATEGORY:
BUSINESS SESSION:
CONSENT CALENDAR: 4
STUDY SESSION:
PUBLIC HEARING:
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council to reaffirm adoption of the annual assessment
for County Service Area 152 for Fiscal Year 2014/2015, 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 Ri udqrhcd Bntmsx 'ŮBntmsxů( vgdqdhm sgd
County assesses properties within the City for the maintenance and operations
of street sweeping, flood control, retention basin and other drainage activities
within the City.
These activities are required under th e Clean Water Act and the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Program.
The assessment rate is $9.99 per Benefit Assessment Unit. For Fiscal Year
2014/2015, the assessment rate per parcel will remain unchanged from its
original 1997 rate.
Annually, the City Council must adopt a resolution authorizing the County to
assess City parcels and holding the County harmless for levying the
assessments.
53
FISCAL IMPACT:
Bntmsx Rdquhbd @qd` 'ŮBR@ů( 041 `rrdrrldmts will generate approximately $253,000
during Fiscal Year 2014/2015.
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 City Council adopted a resolution approving the Benefit Assessment Unit
rate of $9.99. This agreement is available for review in the Public Works Department.
Sgd qdbnlldmcdc `bshnm bnmshmtdr sgd BhsxŬr participation in CSA 152 and authorizes
the County to levy and collect these assessments for Fiscal Year 2014/2015. Any
adjustment to the rate may be subject to the requirements of Proposition 218 including
`m dmfhmddqŬr du`kt`shnm ne chrsqhbs dwpenses and a public hearing for all properties
affected by the adjustment. The City Attorney is currently discussing these
requirements with other cities in the district.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City receives approximately $253,000 from CSA 152 assessments and this
revenue offsets various flood control and storm drain maintenance costs the City
incurs in order to comply with federal clean water and pollution control requirements.
Therefore, staff does not recommend any alternatives to this action.

ITEM TITLE: AWARD CONTRACT TO ACE ELECTRIC,
INC., FOR SPORTS COMPLEX LIGHTING,
REHABILITATION AND EXPANSION IMPROVEMENTS
PROJECT
AGENDA CATEGORY:
BUSINESS SESSION:
CONSENT CALENDAR: 8
STUDY SESSION:
PUBLIC HEARING:
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Award a contract to Ace Electric, Inc., in the amount of $339,900, for the Sports
Complex Lighting, Rehabilitation and Expansion Improvements project.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This project entails installing 11 new light poles to light additional fields at the La
Quinta Sports Complex as well as upgrading the lighting system so that each
field may be lit independently.
Construction bids were received on March 20, 2014. Ace Electric, Inc., a
southern California construction company, submitted the lowest bid in the
amount of $339,900.
Awarding the project at this time will ensure the work will be completed during the
summer school break.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Sports Complex Lighting Improvements, Project No. 2012-02, is included within the
2013/2014 Capital Improvement Program. The total budget, which is funded through
Quimby funds, is $888,875. The total anticipated project cost is $667,679. This cost
includes this contract ($339,900), the pre-purchased light poles and panel boxes
($288,360), and Imperial Irrigation District’s design and cons truction costs for a power
transformer ($39,419). The project budget is as follows:
BUDGET LINE ITEM BUDGET
Professional: $26,628
Technical (Insp/Test/Survey): $63,375

Construction: $667,679
Contingency: $39,536
City Administration: $32,500
TOTAL BUDGET:$888,875
69
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The La Quinta Sports Complex was built in the late 1980s through a partnership
between the Desert Sands Unified School District and the Cit y. The complex has been
in use for three decades and now requires some improvements to meet the demand for
lighted football and baseball fields.
This rehabilitation and expansion project entails modifying the lighting system so each
field may be lit independently, thereby reducing power costs. In addition, new lights will
be installed to allow expanded usage of the fields, as follows:
One new light pole at the batting cages
Six new light poles at the baseball field
Four new light poles at the football field
On February 18, 2014, City Council approved the advertisement for bids for the Sports
Complex Lighting Improvements. On March 20, 2014, five sealed bids were received.
A detailed bid comparison summary is provided as Attachment 1. Ace Electric
submitted the lowest responsive bid in the amount of $339,900 which is 12 percent
above the engineer’s estimate but within the overall project budget. The engineer’s
estimate was formulated in September 2013; and with the improving local economy,
staff is finding that a reduced number of firms are bidding on Cit y projects and bid
amounts are increasing. There is more work thus a limited supply of qualified
contractors. Contingent upon City Council’s approval to award a contract on April 15,
2014, the following is the anticipated project schedule:
Project Award April 15, 2014
Sign Contract/Mobilize April 16, 2014 – June, 2014

ALTERNATIVES:
In order to complete construction during the summer school break, which is highly
desired by Desert Sands Unified School District, no additional alternatives are
recommended.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
In 2011, the City conducted an ADA accessibility self-evaluation of its public facilities.
This survey identified the need for certain ADA improvements at the La Quinta Park,
Civic Center Campus, and Library. The improvements were broken into two phases
based on those that required no engineering design and co uld be completed by a
general contractor (Phase I), and those that required engineered plans and
specifications (Phase II).
The recently completed Phase I improvements included the installation of accessible
benches, ADA-compliant drinking fountains, and the ADA-compliant hardware on doors.
It also involved mounting ADA-compliant signage on buildings and adjusting restroom
mirrors, toilets, grab bars, dispensers, and counter heights as well as other incidental
items to comply with current ADA standards.
On February 18, 2014, City Council approved the advertisement of bids of the Phase II
ADA Public Facility Improvements. On March 30, 2014, two sealed bids were received
for the Phase II improvements, which included reconstructing portions of ADA parking
stalls and installing ADA-compliant access ramps. A deta iled bid comparison summary
is provided as Attachment 1. BW Simmons submitted the lowest responsive bid in the
amount of $150,165.90 which is 7 percent below the engine er’s estimate. Contingent

ITEM TITLE: APPROVAL OF SILVERROCK RESORT FISCAL
YEAR 2014/15 ANNUAL PLAN INCLUDING PURCHASE
AND LEASE OF MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT
AGENDA CATEGORY:
BUSINESS SESSION: 1
CONSENT CALENDAR:
STUDY SESSION:
PUBLIC HEARING:
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the SilverRock Resort 2014/15 Annual Plan and authorize staff to
purchase and lease maintenance equipment.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Each year, Landmark Golf Management submits a SilverRock Golf Operations
Annual Plan (Attachment 1) for rev iew, recommendations, and approval.
The plan provides the projected an nual revenues and expenses with a
detailed proposal of department costs, staffing levels, and service levels.
Revenues are projected to be lower as a result of the Coachella Valley Water
District (CVWD) Canal Relocation Project.
The 2014/15 Annual Plan includes an equipment lease. A portion of the golf
maintenance equipment has reached it s useful life and Landmark and City
staff have determined that a comb ination of an operating lease (5-year
equipment life) and equipment purchase (10-year equipment life) is the best
approach for replacement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The 2014/15 Annual Plan is projecting operating expenses of $3,547,298 and
revenues of $3,464,972 for an operating loss of $82,326.
The 2014/15 Annual Plan includes an equipment lease (units with a 5-year life) that
will be paid through golf operations for $66,858 annually and purchase of
equipment with a 10-year life for $213,208 using funds from the Golf Course
Capital Equipment Reserve Fund.
77
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The City entered into a new Golf Course Management Agreement with Landmark
Golf Management, LLC in July 2012. The Agreement requires that Landmark
submit an Annual Plan to the City Ma nager. The Annual Plan provided by
Landmark is a strategic management plan for the golf course operations and is
presented to City Council each year for review, recommendations, and approval.
Summary of the Fiscal Year 2014/15 SilverRock Resort Annual Plan
Assumptions in this plan include:
41,100 rounds of play (46,710 last year);
An average projected revenue of $84.25 per round ($80.10 last year);
Federal Minimum Wage will increase outside services (rangers, starters,
valet, driving range and bag room staff) by $19,000;
A two percent capital reserve of $60,875 is set aside for future golf course
equipment, improvements (per the Management Agreement);
Management Fee of $96,000.
The reduced rounds and revenue is a result of the closure of the back nine golf
holes (July through September) for the CVWD canal relocation project.
Maintenance Equipment
The cost for the new equipment is $586,026 and the current equipment scheduled
for replacement has a trad e-in value of $35,250. Staff is recommending a
combination of an operating lease and equipment purchase for the new equipment.
The equipment with a shorter useful life of 5 to 6 years will cost $337,568. Staff
is recommending this equipment (fairway and rough mowers) be leased at a 3.95
percent interest rate for an annual lease cost of $66,858. The lease will be paid as
an expense through the golf operations and is incl uded in the Annual Plan.
The remaining equipment scheduled for replacement has a longer useful life of 10-
plus years and will cost $213,208. Staff is recommending this equipment (tractor
and aerators) be purchased with funds from the Golf Course Capital Equipment
Reserve Fund. There is currently $500,223 available in this fund. Purchasing the
equipment that has a longer useful life will save on extended term interest
payments.
The rationale for using a combination of lease and purchase for the replacement
equipment is to acquire these units in a fiscally prudent manner. Leasing costs will
be paid as a golf operations expense, while purchasing will utilize a portion of the
Golf Course Capital Reserve without exhausting all of the funds.
Staff is developing an account of Lifecycle costs for SilverRock. The Lifecycle
costs will chart the inventor y, original cost, depreciation, and useful life of the
facilities and equipment. This information will be used to determine the amount of
78
revenues necessary to fund ongoing SilverRock Capital Equipment Reserve Funds.
Currently, the Golf Course Capital Reserve is funded by two percent (approximately
$61,000) of the gross revenues each year.
Marketing
The Marketing Narrative is on pages 21 and 22 of the proposed 2014/15 Annual
Plan. The Marketing Budget is listed on page 17. Direct advertising and creating
awareness for SilverRock is budgeted for $239,876. SilverRock is being promoted
as a premier golf destination in th e Coachella Valley through newspapers,
magazines, directories, the internet, television, and radio. Marketing efforts include
the closure of the back nine and new su mmer rates that are offered during the
canal relocation.
Additional City Expenses
In addition to the Annual Plan, there will also be $116,000 of City expenditures
included in the FY 2014/15 City operati ng budget. These expenditures include:
staff salary and benefits for contract oversight ($54,000); facility maintenance and
repair ($30,000); and bank charges for accounting and credit card use ($32,000).
The total net loss for FY 2014/15 is projected to be $198,326.
ALTERNATIVES:
Approve the Annual Plan with modifications.

ITEM TITLE: APPROVE A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
WITH THE COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE TO PROVIDE FIRE
PROTECTION, FIRE PREVENTION, RESCUE AND
MEDICAL EMERGENCY SERVICES
AGENDA CATEGORY:
BUSINESS SESSION: 2
CONSENT CALENDAR:
STUDY SESSION:
PUBLIC HEARING:
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve a Cooperative Agreement with the County of Riverside to provide fire
protection, fire prevention, rescue and medical emergency services for the City of
La Quinta.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Rhmbd 0875+ sgd Bhsx g`r bnmsq`bsdc vhsg sgd Bntmsx ne Qhudqrhcd 'ŮBntmsxů(
for fire services.
The existing cooperative agreement expired on June 30, 2010, and the City
and County have agreed to ex tend that agreement until a new
comprehensive agreement was completed.
The term of the proposed agreement will be from July 1, 2014 to June 30,
2017 (Attachment 1) and it maintains all contracted services from the
existing agreement, and enhances serv ices by upgrading one position of
Firefighter II to a Firefighter II Paramedic.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This agreement costs approximately $5,166,000 annually; howev er, the cost is
offset by an annual fire tax credit of approximately $5,381,000. The sources of
revenue for the fire tax credit are prope rty taxes on parcels within the City and
redevelopment pass-through revenue. While redevelopment has been dissolved in
California, the State continues to permit redevelopment pass-through agreements
and the revenue will fund this service for the foreseeable future.
107
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The City contracts with the County that has a cooperative agreement with the
California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection to provide fire services. The
contract provides the City three fire stat ions, twenty-five full-time fire personnel,
firefighting and suppression apparatus, and participation in the regional fire
protection system.
While the agreement expired in 2010, annual extensions were required because the
County was negotiating a new fire services agreement with the California
Departments of General Services and Forestry and Fire Protection. The language
has been approved by both departments, finalized and incorporated into the new
cooperative agreement with the City and all contract partners.
Like many other cities across the state, fire protection costs are rising in large part
ctd sn sgd B`khenqmh` Otakhb DloknxddrŬ Qdshqdldms Rxrsdl q`sd hmbqd`rd `mc
increases in State health care costs. While sgd BhsxŬr ehqd s`w bqdchs bnmshmtdr sn
offset the cost of these services, fire service expenditures continue to be closely
monitored by staff. Upgrades of fire services positions take place when there is a
vacancy, which is the case now with a Fire fighter II position. A Firefighter II
provides basic life support services, whereas a Firefighter II Paramedic provides
both basic and advanced life support serv ices. This allows for a higher level of
care provided to patients in having more Firefighter II Paramedics in service. The
cost of this upgrade is $23,215 per year, which is incorporated in the annual cost
for Fiscal Year 2014/2015.
The City Attorney has raised a concer n with regard to the indemnification
provisions of the contract. As drafted, the County is obligated to indemnity the
City relating to any claims arising from the County s actions in carrying out the
’
contract; however, with claims arising from Cal Fire s acts or omissions, the
’
Countys obligation is limited to situations where Cal Fire s actions are
’’
negligent. The City Attorney proposed changes to the indemnification provision,
which would have extended the Countys indemnification obligation to any acts or
’
omissions of Cal Fire, whether or not Cal Fire was negligent. Those changes have
been rejected by the County. The City Attorney is following up with County
Counsel to see if progress can be made on this issue.
ALTERNATIVE:
As the proposed agreement enhances service levels and maintains the fire tax
credit, staff does not recommend an alternative.

RESTATING RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR COUNCIL MEETINGS
AND RELATED FUNCTIONS AND ACTIVITIES
CONSENT CALENDAR:
STUDY SESSION:
PUBLIC HEARING:
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2014-___ approving the Amended and Restated Rules of
Procedure for Council Meetings and Related Functions and Activities.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Due to changes in law, policy, and/or practice, amendments to the Rules of
Procedure are necessary from time-to-time. Amendments to certain
sections have been made over the years, but the last comprehensive review
occurred in 1995.
At the January 21, 2014 Council meeting, Council formed an Ad Hoc Committee
consisting of Councilmembers Evans and Franklin to review all sections setting
policy and/or formalizing local practice.
A thorough examination of all sections of the Rules was undertaken to
incorporate changes in State law, improvements in technology, increased
emphasis on transparency, and evolved Council practices.
Many sections of the Council Rules are applicable to all City bodies, such as the
Successor Agency, Housing Authority, Financing Authority and City Boards and
Commissions. To avoid duplicating the text common to all entities and amending
multiple Rules, the Council Rules will be the master document to which all other
entities will refer.
FISCAL IMPACT:
123
None.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
It was necessary to amend 15 sections of the Rules to comply with current State law.
These non-discretionary amendments are noted in red on Attachment 1.
Sections changed to reflect current Council policies, common practices or Ad Hoc
Committee recommendations are noted in yellow on Attachment 1. These discretionary
amendments are as follows:
SECTION 1.1 REGULAR MEETINGS
Recommended changes address the timing of closed sessions and public hearings to
allow greater scheduling flexibility. Closed session may be scheduled between 3:00
and 4:00 p.m. or any time before meeting adjournment. Public hearings need not be a
preset time. Instead, the time will be set in the notice of hearing one to two weeks
before based on the volume of anticipated agenda items and the anticipated public
interest in the item.
SECTION 1.4 NOTICE OF MEETINGS, POSTING OR AGENDAS
The bulletin board outside City Hall was removed some time ago so the requirement to
post in this location has been deleted. State law requires posting in one freely
accessible location and on the City website. The City typical number of posting
locations exceeds State law requirements. Typical posting locations are: City website
and within two City facilities: inside City Hall, inside the Senior Center, and in two freely
accessible public locations: outside Stater Brothers, and outside the Village Post Office.
SECTION 1.7 MEETING ATTENDANCE VIA TELECONFERENCE
In anticipation of greater use of technology by Councilmembers, the Ad Hoc Committee
developed policies for teleconferencing. Most of the provisions in this section set forth
State law requirements (sections a, b, and c) or the steps necessary for staff to comply
with State law (sections d and e). The discretionary provisions addressed by the Ad
Hoc Committee are:
(f) Only one Councilmember per meeting may attend by teleconferencing.
This provision was added for practical reasons: (1) teleconferencing Councilmembers
and any members of the public in the remote location must be heard by everyone in the
Council Chambers and vice versa multiple teleconference connections would make
this very difficult, (2) separate equipment would be needed in the Council Chambers for
each teleconference connection, which makes the process expensive and technically
complex, and (3) the Presiding Officer must coordinate speakers in all locations, which
would be very difficult if s/he had two or more unseen locations to manage.
(g) Each Councilmember may attend a regular meeting via teleconference a
maximum of twice per calendar year.
attendance via teleconference is
not ideal for the public, fellow Councilmembers or staff and although Councilmembers
124
are expected to make every effort to physically attend meetings, it is unrealistic to
expect Councilmembers to be in town for every meeting during their term of office. The
twice-per-year limit was intended to discourage overuse of teleconferencing while
recognizing the importance of the participation of all Councilmembers.
(h) Upon receipt of notification of intent to attend via teleconference from one
Councilmember, the City Clerk shall forward the notice to all Councilmembers.
This will alert all other Councilmembers that they would not be eligible to attend that
same meeting via teleconference.
SECTION 2.1 ORDER OF BUSINESS
The heading for the PUBLIC COMMENT section of the agenda was changed to
PUBLIC COMMENT ON MATTERS NOT ON THE AGENDA to assist the public in
understanding when to speak on items not on the agenda versus items that are on the
agenda. This clarifying heading is common practice for many cities.
The APPROVAL OF MINUTES section has been deleted. Approval of minutes will be
included in the CONSENT CALENDAR to streamline the agenda.
The WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS section has been combined with
PRESENTATIONS and ANNOUNCEMENTS to streamline the agenda since these
sections often contain no items.
The statement requiring majority consent to take agenda items out of order has been
deleted because the step seemed unnecessary and cumbersome. Instead, the
Presiding Officer is given the flexibility to move agenda items as needed or preferred.
Of course, Councilmembers alway
changes and/or rearrange the agenda with majority consent.
SECTION 2.2 DELIVERY OF AGENDA
To reflect current practice, the delivery day has been changed from Friday to Thursday.
SECTION 2.6 PUBLIC COMMENT
The provision added in 1987 stating that any Councilmember may direct any matter
raised during public comment on matters not on the agenda to staff, or direct that the
matter be placed on the next agenda has been deleted and replaced with a new section
entitled ADDING ITEMS TO A FUTURE AGENDA.
The unilateral ability of one Councilmember to direct staff, consume staff time, or
rule system.
SECTION 2.9 ADDING ITEMS TO A FUTURE AGENDA
This section has been added to formalize the process by which a Councilmember may
add an item to the agenda. In order to comply with the Brown Act, matters the Council
intends to discuss extensively or take an action on must be listed on the posted agenda.
In this new section, any Councilmember may unilaterally place an item for discussion
125
only on the agenda, but if an item requires staff research, staff reports, or requests a
vote of Council, it must first have majority support before it will be added to a future
agenda.
In addition, the Mayor, City Manager, and the City Attorney may add items to future
agendas. Both the City Manager and City Attorney, directly appointed
staff, are responsible for bringing matters forward to Council and as such, it is a
practical necessity to list those positions. The inclusion of the Mayor in this category is
discretionary because this position has no greater power in this regard than other
Councilmembers; but as the directly-elected Presiding Officer, it is a reasonable
allowance extended by some cities.
ALTERNATIVES:
With the exception of provisions required by State law, Council may add, delete, or
amend any existing or proposed section of the Rules of Procedure.

time when one or more Councilmember(s) are abstaining for reasons other than
conflict of interest then, in that instance, the abstention vote shall be counted in
favor of the motion thereby breaking the tie vote.
RESOLUTIONS
8.
DEFINITIONS:
8.1
As a rule of thumb, it can be said that legislative acts of the City Council
(usually a rule of public conduct for long-term application) are taken by
ordinance, whereas more routine business and administrative matters (usually
more temporary and transitory in nature) are accomplished by "resolutions".
The term "resolution" in its general sense will denote any action taken
affirmatively via a vote of the Council, other than one taken by ordinance. As
used in this City, however, two terms are in general use to denote such (non-
ordinance) actions: "resol and "motion" (thereafter recorded by minute
entry). Technically, both are equally as legally effective and binding; they just
vary in the formality of respective memorialization. The most formal is referred
to locally as a "resolution". This, in addition to being referenced in the minutes,
will be recorded by a separate document, numbered in sequence, and preserved
in a separate set of books. Such "resolutions" are used in this City for various
reasons, such as when specifically required by law, when needed as a separate
evidentiary document to be transmitted to another governmental agency, or
where the frequency of future reference back to its contents warrants a
separate document (with the additional "whereas" explanatory material it often
recites) to facilitate such future reference and research.
an item entry in the minutes of the meeting at which it was accomplished, and
no separate document is made to memorialize it unless it is a motion to adopt
an ordinance or resolution.
RESOLUTIONS PREPARED IN ADVANCE:
8.2
Where a resolution has been prepared in advance, the procedure shall be:
motion, second, discussion, vote pursuant to methods prescribed in Section
7.1, and result declared. It shall not be necessary to read a resolution in full or
143
Resolution No. 2014-
Council Rules of Procedure
Adopted:
Page 18 of 19
by title except to identify it. Any member may require that the resolution be
read in full.
RESOLUTIONS NOT PREPARED IN ADVANCE:
8.3
Where a resolution has not been prepared in advance, the procedure shall be to
instruct the City Manager or the City Attorney to prepare a resolution for
presentation at the next Council meeting.
URGENCY RESOLUTIONS:
8.4
In matters of urgency, a resolution may be presented verbally in motion form
together with instructions for written preparation for later execution. After the
resolution has been verbally stated, the voting procedure in 8.2 above shall be
followed.

VOTING. PROCEDURE
7.
VOTING PROCEDURE:
7.1
In acting upon every motion, the vote shall be taken by electronic voting and
the Presiding Officer or the City Clerk shall verbally announce (1) whether the
question carried or was defeated, (2) the vote tally, and (3) the vote of each
Councilmember. In the event the electronic voting machine is not functioning,
the vote shall be taken by roll call. The vote on each motion shall then be
entered in full upon the record. The order of voting shall be alphabetical with
the Mayor voting last. The City Clerk shall call the names of all members
seated when a roll call vote is ordered or required. Members shall respond
'aye', 'no' or 'abstain'.
Every ordinance and any resolution, or orders for franchises or payments of
money, or adoption or amendment of a specific or general plan require three
affirmative votes. Any member may change his/her vote before the next order
of business.
ABSTENTIONS AND FAILURE TO VOTE:
7.2
A Councilmember who abstains due to reasons of conflict shall, for purpose of
the item under consideration, be considered as if absent. A Councilmember
abstaining for reasons other than conflict shall be counted as present for
purposes of a quorum and such abstentions are counted with the majority. A
Councilmember who leaves the dais solely to avoid participating in a specific
item shall, in absence of a conflict, be counted as if they were present but
abstaining and such abstentions are also counted with the majority.
RECONSIDERATION:
7.3
Any Councilmember who voted with the majority may move a reconsideration
of any action at the same meeting or, within seven (7) calendar days,
161
O`fd 04 ne 08
request in writing to the City Manager or City Clerk that it be agendized for
consideration at the following meeting. If the seventh calendar day falls on
a holiday, then the deadline shall be the next business day. In the event that
the subject of the reconsideration is a motion that failed as the result of a tie
vote, any Councilmember who voted against the earlier motion may move for
reconsideration within the same seven (7) calendar day period. If the
motion to reconsider passes, then the original item may be reconsidered at
that time or agendized for the next meeting that meets any applicable noticing
requirements. After a motion for reconsideration has once been acted upon,
no other motion for reconsideration thereof shall be made without unanimous
consent of the Council.
TIE VOTES:
7.4
Tie Vvotes shall be lost motions unless an additional Mmotion is made which
obtains a majority vote to break the tie. When all Councilmembers are
present, a tie vote on whether to grant an appeal from official action shall be
considered a denial of such appeal. If a tie vote results at a time when less
than all members of the Council are present, the matter shall automatically be
continued to the agenda of the next regular meeting of the Council, unless
otherwise ordered by the Council. Notwithstanding the above, if a tie vote
results at a time when one or more Councilmember(s) are abstaining for
reasons other than conflict of interest then, in that instance, the abstention
vote shall be counted in favor of the motion thereby breaking the tie vote.
RESOLUTIONS
8.
DEFINITIONS:
8.1
As a rule of thumb, it can be said that legislative acts of the City Council
(usually a rule of public conduct for long-term application) are taken by
ordinance, whereas more routine business and administrative matters (usually
more temporary and transitory in nature) are accomplished by "resolutions".
The term "resolution" in its general sense will denote any action taken
affirmatively via a vote of the Council, other than one taken by ordinance.
As used in this City, however, three two terms are in general use to denote
such (non-ordinance) actions: "resolution", "minute order", and "motion"
(thereafter recorded by minute entry). Technically, all three both are equally
as legally effective and binding; they just vary in the formality of respective
memorialization. The most formal is referred to locally as a "resolution". This,
in addition to being referenced in the minutes, will be recorded by a separate
document, numbered in sequence and preserved in a separate set of books.
162
O`fd 05 ne 08
Such "resolutions" are used in this City for various reasons, such as when
specifically required by law, when needed as a separate evidentiary
document to be transmitted to another governmental agency, or where the
frequency of future reference back to its contents warrants a separate
document (with the additional "whereas" explanatory material it often recites)
to facilitate such future reference and research.
A "minute order" as used locally denotes a Council action which is
recorded simply by an item entry in the minutes of the meeting at which it
was accomplished, and no separate document is made to memorialize it
unless it is a motion to adopt an ordinance or resolution. However, sequential
numbering shall be assigned to each motion to facilitate indexing.
RESOLUTIONS PREPARED. IN ADVANCE:
8.2
Where a resolution has been prepared in advance, the procedure shall be:
motion, second, discussion, vote pursuant to methods prescribed in Section
7.1, and result declared. It shall not be necessary to read a resolution in full
or by title except to identify it. Any member may require that the resolution be
read in full.
RESOLUTIONS NOT PREPARED IN ADVANCE:
8.3
Where a resolution has not been prepared in advance, the procedure shall be to
instruct the City Manager or the City Attorney to prepare a resolution for
presentation at the next Council meeting.
URGENCY RESOLUTIONS:
8.4
In matters of urgency, a resolution may be presented verbally in motion form
together with instructions for written preparation for later execution. After
the resolution has been verbally stated, the voting procedure in 8.2 above
shall be followed.
Urgency resolutions shall be avoided except when absolutely necessary; and
shall be avoided entirely when resolutions are required by law, in improvement
acts, zoning matters, or force account work on public projects. Where the
resolution has been drafted in written form, either before or during the meeting,
this paragraph shall not be deemed applicable.
9. ORDINANCES
INTRODUCTION AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCES:
9.1
Ordinances shall not be passed within five days of their introduction, nor at
163
O`fd 06 ne 08
other than a regular meeting or at an adjourned regular meeting. However, an
urgency ordinance may be passed immediately upon introduction and either at a
regular or special meeting. When ordinances, other than urgency ordinances,
are altered after introduction, they shall be passed only at a regular or at an
adjourned regular meeting held at least five days after alteration.
Corrections of typographical or clerical errors are not alterations within the
meaning of this section.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
9.2
Except as provided otherwise by law, Aall ordinances shall take effect 30 days
after their final passage adoption but may be made operative at such later
date as may be designated in the ordinance.
PUBLISHING:
9.3
It shall be the duty of the City Clerk to post or publish all ordinances in
accordance with sSection 36933 of the Government Code within 15 days after
adoption.
POLITICAL ACTIVITIES
10.
Councilmembers shall not use, or attempt to use, their position, office or
(A)
authority to influence, aid or obstruct any City employee from securing any
position, nomination, confirmation or promotion, or change in compensation or
position in the City upon consideration or condition that the vote or political
influence or action of such person or another shall be given or used in behalf
of, or withheld from, any candidate, officer, or party, or upon any other corrupt
condition or consideration. This prohibition shall apply to urging or
discouraging the individual employee's action.
A Councilmember or candidate shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit
(B)
political funds or contributions, knowingly, from other officers or employees of
the local agency or from persons on an employment list of the City, with the
knowledge that the person from whom the contribution is solicited is an officer
or employee of the City. This section shall not prohibit the Councilmember
from requesting political contributions from officers or employees of the City if
the solicitation is part of a solicitation made to a significant segment of the
public, which may include officers of employees of the City.
No Councilmember or candidate shall engage in political activity during
(C)
working hours in City officers or work areas where such activity would disrupt
164
O`fd 07 ne 08
the workplace. For purposes of this section, City offices, or work areas includes
the areas behind the public counters, but excludes the Council Chambers and
Council Member offices.
AUTHORITY TO BIND THE CITY
11.
No Councilmember, officer, official, employee, agent or consultant of the City, without
the majority vote of the Council, or unless otherwise provided in these Rules of
Procedure or by resolution of the Council, shall have any power or authority to bind the
City by any contract, to pledge its credits, or to render it liable for any purpose in any
amount.
EXECUTION OF CONTRACTS, DEEDS, AND OTHER DOCUMENTS
12.
Except as otherwise authorized by resolution of the City Council, either the Mayor or
City Manager, or in the absence of both, such person as the City Manager may
designate in writing pursuant to Municipal Code section 2.08.050 and 2.08.060, shall
sign all contracts, deeds and other written instruments on behalf of the City when such
have been approved by the City Council. The City Clerk shall attest to the signature of
the signer, unless attestation is not required.
113. RULES DIRECTORY
To the extent not required by State laws, these rules of procedure shall be
considered directory only; and compliance herewith shall not be considered
mandatory or jurisdictional.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Appoint one member of the City Council as the voting delegate for the Southern
California Association of Governments' General Assembly.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Southern California Association of Governments convenes the General
Assembly once each year to identify and `ccqdrr onkhbx l`ssdqr- Sghr xd`qŬr
Assembly will be in the Coachella Valley.
The City Council appoints one delegate and one alternate to participate in the
General Assembly and represent the City.
The Mayor is the designated delegate but cannot attend the Assembly.
Council Member Evans is the alternate.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The City previously designated a delegate and alternate to vote and participate in
the General Assembly. Since the Mayor cannot attend the Assembly and if the
alternate may not be able to attend, it is necessary to appoint a voting delegate
who will attend in their place. SCAG requires City Council approval of all delegates
and alternates. Council Member Henderson has indicated that she will be attending

STUDY SESSION: 1
PUBLIC HEARING:
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
No action required; this is an informational item only.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City's Classification and Compensation structures are being updated to
reflect industry best practices and to address the City Council's vision to
create a high performance organization.
Fox Lawson & Associates has comp leted the Classification and
Compensation Study and will present their findings.
The final classification and compensation framework will be brought back to
Council at a later date once details have been reviewed by the La Quinta
Employees Association.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None at this time.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

organization as a proactive measure to meet the changing needs of the City. To
this end, the City commissioned Fox Lawson & Associates to prepare a
Classification and Compensation Study. The goal is establish a system that
supports a high performing organization that is flexible, rewards extraordinary
odqenql`mbd+ `ssq`bsr sgd Ůadrsů dl ployees, and most important, provides
exceptional customer service.

171
The City currently has 47 job classifications for 67 employees, each containing
very narrowly defined duties, which not onlx khlhsŬr ekdwhahkhsx vgdm `rrhfmhmf vnqj+
but also limits employee engagement a nd growth opportunities. The existing
bnlodmr`shnm rsqtbstqd hr ` Ůrsdo `mc fq`cdů rxrsdl vghbg bnms`hmr 60 q`mfdr
with 5 steps in each range. Each step increases by 5 percent and each range
increases by 2.5 percent. The majority of employees (87.5 percent) are currently
at the highest step.
The Classification and Compensation Study (Attachment 1) outlines the process
and methodology, and presents findings regarding a revised classification system
and compensation schedule. Specific recommendations include:
Reduce the current 47 job classifications to 5 as follows:
Administrative
Code Administration
Maintenance & Operations
Management Administration Management
Adjust current compensation to achieve market job pay schedules. The last
compensation study the City performed was in 2007. While some salaries have
declined, others have increased during this period. Overall, current salaries, on
the aggregate, are 9.9 percent below market rates.
Expand the salary range spread form the current 22 percent between the lowest
and highest salaries to a 40 to 50 percent spread between the lowest and
highest salaries. Other public and priv ate organizations have moved to the
wider spread because they recognize that it takes time to attain job proficiency
at higher levels of the organization versus lower level positions.
Maintain the current benefit package (retirement, medical, paid leave, etc.),
which matches market benefits.
Next Steps

Recommendations will be brought back to Council that incorporate their feedback
and requested changes, if any, to th e proposed classification and compensation
structures. No further action is required of Council at this time.

Report to La Quinta City Council
Palm Springs International Airport Commission Meeting
March 19, 2014
Budget:
Budget performance has been extremely predictable, and (thankfully) unexciting. I
have attached the detailed reports, but things are on-ta rget, and we are ahead of our
unrestricted cash goal.
Next year’s budget planning process is also on-target. We are using a “zero-based”
process. The Commission Budget Committee meets early in April, and is planning to
submit it to the full Commission on April 16. We plan to present it to the Palm Springs
City Council on May 7, with expected approval by June 6.
Passenger Activity:
February was another all time record for passenger activity; up 9.3% from last year.
March looks the same, but April is on pace to have double-digit growth from 2013.
General:
1. The Master Plan update is progressing, and the environmental
report will go to the City Council next month.
2. Our landscape improvement plan was originally too costly. Re-
design efforts have been successful in bringing it down to budgeted
levels.
3. We discovered that the old tower was contaminated with asbestos.
An asbestos abatement project is underway.
Airline Industry:
Higher oil prices may suppress the industry, as unsettled international situations affect
supply. The Ukraine events, alone, are expected to raise prices to over $108/ barrel.
This is significant to us as we constantly review variables that may affect our passenger
traffic and revenue. Early warning of reductions in key variables will allow us time to
adjust costs, and prevent deficits.
261
FAA Grant and Professional Services Contract:
The Commission is recommending that we accept the $5 million grant from the FAA for
the remaining pavement refurbishment, as well as the replacement of the terminal
security access, flight information displays, and paging systems. Furthermore, it is
recommended to amend the professional services agreement with PB Aviation to add
the project design services. This addition is not to exceed $1,552,745.

Department Report: ____3B_______
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Susan Maysels, City Clerk
DATE: April 15, 2014
SUBJECT: MUNICIPAL CODE UPDATE PROJECT
Staff is systematically reviewing and revising chapters of the Municipal Code
to ensure that it contains only necessary subject matter written in
clear and plain language. Outdated provisions are being removed and
updates are being made to conform to both current best practices and State
Code.
Changes to the Code must be done by ordinance, which entails two readings
at separate Council Meetings followed by a 30-day wait period (60 days for
fees) before it is incorporated into the Code. Once the ordinance takes
effect, the code publishing company is paid to edit the Code accordingly and
insert new sections into the electronic, searchable version of the Code linked
to the City website. To streamline this process and save money, non-
essential provisions such as fees, policies and procedure s will be removed
from the Code and adopted by resolution. Most resolutions take effect
immediately. For example, a comprehensive fee booklet that contains City
fees or tax es for every service, license, and permit can be adopted by
resolution, then made available on the C at City Hall
counters, rather than spread throughout many sections of the Code. Policies
and procedures such as purchasing will be updated and brought to Council to
adopt by resolution with the resulting document also posted on the C
website.
Revisions to the Code will be done systematically, with the goal to bring an
entire Title of the Code to Council at one meeting, along with the necessary
resolutions to address topics pulled from the Code.Once the adjustments
Page 0 of 1
267
are made, the formatting of the Code will also be streamlined for easier
reading and better organization (specifically, subsections will be indented for
immediate recognition).
Working in conjunction with all City departments and the City Attorney, the
project has started with Title 2 - Administration and Personnel, and Title 3 -
Revenue and Finance, which will come before Council in the next few
months. As remaining Titles are completed in 2014, they will be brought
before Council for adoption.

La Quinta City Council to discuss Landscape Survey at March 18 meeting
La Quinta, CA (March 14) -- The La Quinta City Council will discuss the results from a
recent North La Quinta landscape survey which was mailed to over 1,600 property owners.
The discussion will take place during the City Council's next meeting:
4 p.m. Tuesday, March 18, 2014
La Quinta City Hall - Council Chambers
78-495 Calle Tampico
La Quinta, CA 92253
The City Council will consider options for closing an existing deficit in the City-wide
Landscape and Lighting District which has required increasing contribution from the City's
General Fund since 1997.
One way the City proposed to address the deficit was by reaching out to 11 north La Quinta
neighborhoods. The intent was to gauge their interest in forming an assessment district to
help pay for improved landscape maintenance for their parkways and entryways and any
desired upgrades. These parkways and entryways are currently maintained and paid for by
the City. The 11 subdivisions have no homeowners associations or homeowner dues.
The survey was mailed out in January to homeowners in: Acacia, Cactus Flower, Desert
Pride, La Quinta del Oro, La Quinta Highlands, La Quinta Vistas, Marbella, Quinterra,
Rancho Ocotillo, Sierra del Rey, and Topaz. Over 700 surveys were returned. Results are
being tabulated and will be shared with the City Council and public next Tuesday.
For more information on this City Council item, please call the Public Works Department at

existing eating/drinking establishment, unless part of an approved event, and within
1,500 feet of any school property, except where the enrollment is primarily 18 years
and over. Operating on a major street is not allowed if speed limits are greater than
35 miles per hour. The ordinance also limits hours of operation from 9:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m. between October 1 and April 30, and from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
between May 1 and Sept. 30. In additi on, when a food vending truck will remain
parked in one location for over one hour, it must be located within 200 feet of a
legally approved and accessible toilet and hand-wash facility.
The City of Indio also recently adopted an orchm`mbd- Hs `ccqdrrdr LEEŬr `r vdkk `r
push-cart vendors. Food truck or pushcart vendors cannot operate on public streets
within 300 feet of any school between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on school days
without prior written permission from the school. Vendors can only stay in a
designated area for a maximum of one hour, cannot return to that same spot within
a four-hour period, and cannot operate on public streets within 100 feet of an
intersection, crosswalk, traffic light or stop sign.

A concern on a larger scale is consistency between city regulations. For example,
Palm Desert prohibits operation within 1,500 feet of a school, while Indio establishes
a 300-foot limit. However, the intent of the County ordinance is to regulate how
these facilities function from a health and sa fety perspective, and to leave zoning,
economic and other related issues up to the individual cities.
Attachment 1 contains news articles summarizing action taken by Riverside County,
Palm Springs and Palm Desert.
CONCLUSION
A`rdc tonm K` Pthms`Ŭr btqqdms qdftk`shnmr in comparison to the recent actions
taken by other Coachella Valley cities, it is recommended that no action to amend
the La Quinta Municipal Code be taken at th is time. To date, limited interest in

LEEŬr g`ud addm hcdmshehdc+ vghbg g`ud primarily focused upon MFF use at special
events. This type of use would be addr essed in conjunction with a temporary use
permit. Staff would recommend further consideration occur in accordance with and
in response to community interest.

DEPARTMENTREPORT: 6
TO: Honorable Mayor and Me mbers of the City Council
FROM: Timothy R. Jonasson, P.E., Public Works Director/City Engineer
DATE: April 15, 2014
SUBJECT: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT REPORT FOR MARCH 2014
1. On March 20, Public Works staff attended a symposium titled, “Running Dry – A
Symposium on Drought and Water Scarcity in the West.” A summary is provided
as Attachment 1.
2. For the month of March, the total for all maintenance expenditures recorded in
GORequest was $82,345.60 with street sweeping, irrigation work, debris
removal, street sign installation, and graffiti removal being among the highest
tasks in terms of cost. Public Works maintenance workers recorded over 1,350
task hours associated with this work. A detailed breakdown of tasks and
associated costs is presented in the attached pie chart (Attachment 2).
3. Work continues on the County’s Fred Waring Drive widening project, between
Adams Street and Port Maria Road. The contractor is currently installing
stamped concrete on the north side of Fred Waring Drive and is also constructing
cross gutter and installing traffic signal cable at the Fred Waring Drive and
Adams Street intersection. Pedestrian access will be restricted throughout
construction due to the removal of sidewalk on the south side of the street.
Ultimately, Fred Waring Drive will be three lanes in each direction. The project is
on schedule to be complete in August 2014.
4. The La Quinta Health and Wellness Center project is in final design. The
contractor installed wind fence and sand bags on April 7 and 8, and the
construction trailer is scheduled to be delivered on April 10. Grading and
demolition is scheduled to begin on April 14. The facilit y will remain open during
construction.
5. Bids were opened for both the Miscellaneous Americans with Disabilities Act
Improvements Phase II and the Sports Complex Lighting Improvements projects.
Both projects are scheduled for City Council award approval on April 15.
309
6. The contractor for the City Hall Lighting Conversion Project is approximately 85
percent complete with the work. Imperial Irrigation District will be giving the City
a rebate on the construction costs of the new lighting.

ATTACHMENT 1
Below is a synopsis of some of the major ideas expressed during the water symposium,
which was hosted by The Desert Sun, Sunnylands, and the Palm Springs Art Museum.
As is the case in any good exchange of ideas, the panelists did not always agree with
one another:
We’re on the edge of collapse at the Salton Sea, aquifer levels have been falling in
the Coachella Valley and farmers are fallowing some of the most productive fields in
America. We need to strategize now on how to cope with shrinking water supplies.
Water is still too cheap! Wasteful behavior won’t change until water is much more
expensive. Water agencies should price water much higher so that it more closely
matches its intrinsic value and importance.
Water agencies cannot artificially raise water prices. Water agencies are bound by
law to charge no more than what it costs to provide the water.
In the Coachella Valley Water District’s (CVWD) service area, tiered water rates
have, to date, been only marginally effective in curbing wasteful water practices.
There is about 15,000 acre feet of water per year that is still being wasted since the
imposition of tiered water rates. This is water usage over and above CVWD’s very
generous per-person water allocation. There is plenty of room for improvement in
this area. Conservation and education efforts are key.
If we don’t act now, the Salton Sea will be a publ ic health emergency, an economic
catastrophe, a social justice issue and a wildlife crisis. In 2018, when the
Quantification Settlement Agreement goes into full effect, Colorado River water will
be transferred from the region’s farms to urban areas. This will accelerate the
shoreline recession as the farm return flows will no longer flow to the Salton Sea.
Golf has historically been an important economic engine in the Coachella Valley.
Great strides have been made to reduce the golf course “water footprint” through the
use of recycled water (51 golf courses and counting), conversions to desert scape,
and irrigation technology.
Technology has been prominent in water conservation efforts. Over 10,000 irrigation
nozzles are monitored by computers to ensure targeted watering at a golf course.
Additionally, “smart controllers” monitor real time weather data to alter the days and
times that they water plants.
Senator Barbara Boxer, chair of the Senate’s Environment and Public Works
st
Committee, is introducing a bill called “W-21” (Water for the 21 Century) that
promotes water conservation in consumer appliances, tax credits for urban and
agricultural water efficiency systems, and financing for water recycling and storage
programs.
Assemblymember V. Manuel Perez introduced AB 1896 Non-potable Water, which
would prohibit the use of potable water for irrigation for homeowner association
landscaping if non-potable water is available (i.e. recycled wa ter).
