3.25.040 Authorized agent or representative
A. Except for the completion of an application for a short-term vacation rental permit and
business license, the owner may designate an authorized agent or representative to ensure compliance
with the requirements of this chapter with respect to the short-term vacation rental unit on his/her/their
behalf . Nevertheless, the owner shall not be relieved from any personal responsibility and personal
liability for noncompliance with any applicable law, rule or regulation pertaining to the use and occupancy
of the subject short-term vacation rental unit, regardless of whether such noncompliance was committed
by the owner's authorized agent or representative or the occupants of the owner's short-term vacation
rental unit or their guests.
B. The owner must be the applicant for and holder of a short-term vacation rental permit
and business license and shall not authorize an agent or a representative to apply for or hold a short-term
vacation rental permit and business license on the owner’s behalf. The owner’s signature is required on
all short-term vacation rental application forms, and the city may prescribe reasonable requirements to
verify that an applicant or purported owner is the owner in fact.
3.25.050 Short-term vacation rental permit—required
A. The owner is required to obtain a short-term vacation rental permit and a business
license from the city before the owner or the owner's authorized agent or representative may rent or
advertise a short-term vacation rental unit. No short-term vacation rental use may occur in the city except
in compliance with this chapter.
B. A short-term vacation rental permit and business license shall be required to be renewed
on an annual basis in order to remain valid. Failure to renew a short-term vacation rental permit within
thirty (30) consecutive days of its expiration date will result in the short-term vacation rental permit being
terminated. A new Owner of a short-term vacation rental unit that had been issued a short-term vacation
rental permit to a former owner shall apply for a new short-term vacation rental permit if the new Owner
wants to continue to use the residential dwelling as a short-term vacation rental unit. When an owner or
an owner’s authorized agent or representative converts non-bedroom spaces and areas in an existing
residential dwelling into additional bedrooms, the owner shall apply for a new short-term vacation rental
permit if the owner wants to continue to use any of the bedrooms in the residential dwelling as a short-
term vacation rental unit.
C. A short-term vacation rental permit and business license shall be valid only for the
number of bedrooms in a residential dwelling equal to the number of bedrooms the city establishes as
eligible for listing as a short-term vacation rental unit and shall not exceed the number of bedrooms
allowable for the number of occupants as set forth in Section 3.25.070. The allowable number of
bedrooms shall meet all applicable requirements under federal, state and city codes, including but not
limited to the provisions of Section 9.50.100 (or successor provision, as may be amended from time to
time) governing “Additional Bedrooms” and all applicable building and construction codes in Title 8 of this
code. A short-term vacation rental permit shall not issue for, or otherwise authorize the use of, additional
bedrooms converted from non-bedroom spaces or areas in an existing residential dwelling except upon
express city approval for the additional bedrooms in compliance with this code, including Section
23
Ordinance No. 572
Amendment to Chapter 3.25 Short-Term Vacation Rentals
Adopted: July 17, 2018
Page 6 of 14
9.50.100 (or successor provision, as may be amended from time to time), and upon approval of an
application for a new or renewed short-term vacation rental permit as provided in subsection B.
D. A short-term vacation rental permit and business license shall not be issued or renewed
if the property, or any building, structure, or use or land use on the property is in violation of this code.
The city may conduct an inspection of the property prior to the issuance or renewal of a short-term
vacation rental permit and/or business license. Code compliance inspections may be billed for full cost
recovery at 1 hour for initial inspection and in 30 minute increments for each follow-up inspection. For
purposes of this subsection, a code violation exists if, at the time of the submittal of an application for a
new or renewed short-term vacation rental permit or business license, the city has commenced
administrative proceedings by issuing written communication and/or official notice to the owner or owner's
responsible agent or representative of one or more code violations. For purposes of this chapter,
"building," "structure," and "use or land use" have the same meanings as set forth in Section 9.280.030
(or successor provisions, as may be amended from time to time) of this code.
E. A short-term vacation rental permit and business license shall not be issued or renewed if
any portion of transient occupancy tax has not been reported and/or remitted to the city for the previous
calendar year by the applicable deadline for the reporting and/or remittance of the transient occupancy
tax.
F. A short-term vacation rental permit and business license shall not be issued or renewed if
the residential dwelling to be used as a short-term rental unit lacks adequate onsite parking. For purposes
of this subsection, “adequate onsite parking” shall be determined by dividing the total number of
occupants commensurate with the approved number of bedrooms as provided in the table under section
3.25.070 by four, such that the ratio of the total number of occupants to onsite parking spots does not
exceed four to one (4:1). For example, a residential dwelling with five (5) bedrooms may permissibly host
a total number of ten (10) occupants and therefore requires three (3) onsite parking spots. Pursuant to
Section 3.25.070(K), no more than two (2) street parking spots may count towards the number of onsite
parking spots necessary to meet the “adequate onsite parking” requirement.
G. An owner or owner's authorized agent or representative who claims not to be operating a
short-term vacation rental unit or who has obtained a valid short-term vacation rental permit and business
license pursuant to this chapter, may voluntarily opt-out of the requirements of this chapter, prior to the
issuance or expiration of a short-term vacation rental permit and business license that are applicable to
the short-term vacation rental unit, only upon the owner, the owner's authorized agent or representative
and/or the owner's designated local contact person executing, under penalty of perjury, a declaration of
non-use as a short-term vacation rental unit, in a form prescribed by the city (for purposes of this chapter,
a "declaration of non-use"). Upon the receipt and filing by the city of a fully executed declaration of non-
use, the owner or owner's authorized agent representative shall be released from complying with this
chapter as long as the property is not used as a short-term vacation rental unit. Use of the property as a
short-term vacation unit after the city's receipt and filing of a declaration of non-use, is a violation of this
chapter. If, after a declaration of non-use has been received and filed by the city, the owner or owner's
authorized agent or representative wants to use that property as a short-term vacation rental unit, the
owner shall apply for a new short-term vacation rental permit and business license and fully comply with
the requirements of this chapter and the code.

records, and tax assessor records. Owners of residential dwellings that exceed 5,000 square feet of
developed space on a lot may apply for additional bedrooms. An owner and/or owner's authorized agent
or representative may not advertise availability for occupancy of a short-term vacation rental unit for more

rental pursuant to this chapter.
D. A short-term vacation rental permit application may be denied if the applicant has failed to
comply with application requirements in this chapter, or has had a prior short-term vacation rental permit

the advertisement.
O. The owner and/or owner's authorized agent or representative shall operate a
short-term vacation rental unit in compliance with any other permits or licenses that apply to the
property, including but not limited to any permit or license needed to operate a special event
pursuant to Section 9.60,170 (or successor provision, as may be amended from time to time) of
this code. City may limit the number of special event permits issued per year on residential
dwellings pursuant to Section 9.60.170 (or successor provision, as may be amended from time

conditions on the use of any given short-term vacation rental unit to ensure that any potential
secondary effects unique to the subject short-term vacation rental unit are avoided or

installation of a noise monitoring device to keep time-stamped noise level data from the
property that will be made available to the city upon city's reasonable request,
Q. The standard conditions set forth herein may be modified by the city manager,
or designee, upon request of the owner or the owner's authorized agent or representative
based on site-specific circumstances for the purpose of allowing reasonable accommodation of
a short-term vacation rental. All requests must be in writing and shall identify how the strict
application of the standard conditions creates an unreasonable hardship to a property such
that, if the requirement is not modified, reasonable use of the property for a short-term vacation
rental would not be allowed. Any hardships identified must relate to physical constraints to the
subject site and shall not be self- induced or economic. Any modifications of the standard
conditions shall not further exacerbate an already existing problem.

The owner or the owner's authorized agent or representative shall maintain for a period of three
years, records in such form as the tax administrator (as defined in Chapter 3.24) may require to

right to inspect such records at all reasonable times, which may be subject to the subpoena by the tax
administrator pursuant to Section 3.24.140 (Records) (Transient Occupancy Tax) (or successor
provisions, as may be amended from time to time) of this code.
3.25.090 Violations

600-340-052 (CENTRE AT LA QUINTA)
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California did, on the 3rd day
of July 2018, hold a duly noticed public hearing for review of a City-initiated request
for Zone Change 2017-0001 to amend the zoning designation for Assessor’s Parcel
Numbers 600-340-049, 600-340-050, 600-340-051 and 600-340-052; and
WHEREAS, previous to said Public Hearing, the Planning Commission of the City
of La Quinta did, on June 12, 2018, adopt Planning Commission Resolution 2018-007
to recommend to the City Council adoption of said Zone Change; and
WHEREAS, the Design and Development Department published a public hearing
notice for this request in The Desert Sun newspaper on June 22, 2018, as prescribed by
the Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, said Zoning Map Amendment has complied with the requirements
of "The Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970" (CEQA)
as amended (Resolution 83-63). The Design and Development Department has
determined that the proposed Zone Change could have an impact on the
environment, but that the mitigation measures contained in the Initial Study prepared
under EA 2017-0009 will reduce all impacts to less than significant levels, and a
Mitigated Negative Declaration is proposed; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Zone Change is necessary to uphold the rights and
needs of property owners and the public, encourage the preservation of neighborhood
character, and consider changes in market demand to meet the needs of current and
future residents in the City of La Quinta; and
WHEREAS, the proposed zoning map amendment is necessary to implement
the General Plan 2035 adopted by the City Council at their regular meeting on
February 19, 2013, as amended by General Plan Amendment 2017-0001; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony
and arguments, if any, of all interested persons wanting to be heard, the City Council
did make the following mandatory findings to justify adoption of said Zone Change:
35
Ordinance No. 573
Zone Change 2017-0001
The Centre at La Quinta
Adopted: July 17, 2018
Page 2 of 6
1. Consistency with General Plan. The zone map change is consistent with the
goals, objectives and policies of the general plan relating to the provision of
a mix of land uses, and flexibility to allow changes in market conditions.
2. Public Welfare. Approval of the zone map change will not create conditions
materially detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare.
Impacts to residents associated with noise, traffic and air quality have been
reduced to less than significant levels through the imposition of mitigation
measures contained in EA 2017-0009.
3. Land Use Compatibility. The new zoning is compatible with the zoning on
adjacent properties, insofar as it will create a buffer between the Low
Density zone to the west, and the Regional Commercial zone to the east.
4. Property Suitability. The new zoning is suitable and appropriate for the
subject property, insofar as the land is flat and appropriate for residential
development.
5. Change in Circumstances. Approval of the zone map change is warranted
because the situation and the general conditions of the property have
substantially changed since the existing zoning was imposed, insofar as
commercial markets are changing, and may not support such a use on the
project site in the future.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of La Quinta does ordain as
follows:
SECTION 1. The Official Zoning Map of the City of La Quinta shall be amended as
shown in “Exhibit A” attached hereto.
SECTION 2. The proposed Zone Change has complied with the requirements of "The
Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970" (CEQA) as
amended (Resolution 83-63). An Initial Study was prepared for EA 2017-0009, and a
Mitigated Negative Declaration has been approved.
SECTION 3. That the City Council does hereby approve Zone Change 2017-0001, as
set forth in attached “Exhibit A” for the reasons set forth in this Ordinance.
SECTION 4. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect thirty (30) days after its
adoption.
SECTION 5. The City Clerk shall, within 15 days after passage of this Ordinance, cause
it to be posted in at least three public places designated by resolution of the City

Council, shall certify to the adoption and posting of this Ordinance, and shall cause
this Ordinance and its certification, together with proof of posting to be entered into
the Book of Ordinances of the City of La Quinta.
SECTION 7. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause,
phrase, or portion of this Ordinance is, for any reason, held to be invalid or
unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision
shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City

SECTION 9.50.090 OF TITLE 9 OF THE LA QUINTA MUNICIPAL CODE AND
ADOPTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GUIDELINES
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Ordinance No. 574 on second reading.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On July 3, 2018, Council introduced Ordinance No. 574 for first reading to
amend Title 9 Section 9.50.090 of the La Quinta Municipal Code.
The proposed amendments and guidelines provide architectural and
landscape design consistency for single-family homes.
FISCAL IMPACT – None
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The City’s existing architectural and landscape standards date back to the late
1990s. Ordinance No. 574 proposes citywide single-family residential
architectural design guidelines in the design of single family homes that are not
subject to a Specific Plan, Development Permit, and/or Master Design guideline.
The guidelines would replace the existing cove design guidelines and
communicate the City’s single-family residential architectural design
expectations.

As Council approved this ordinance at first reading, staff does not recommend an

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA
QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 9.50.090 OF
TITLE 9 OF THE LA QUINTA MUNICIPAL CODE AND
ADOPTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURAL
DESIGN GUIDELINES
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California did, on the 3rd day
of July 2018, hold a duly noticed public hearing for review of a City-initiated request of
Zoning Ordinance Amendment 2017-0005 to amend of Section 9.50.090 of Title 9
(Zoning) of the La Quinta Municipal Code and adopt single family residential
architectural design guidelines in order to adopt citywide single family home design
guidelines; and
WHEREAS, previous to said Public Hearing, the Planning Commission of the City
of La Quinta did, on June 12, 2018, adopt Planning Commission Resolution 2018-008
to recommend to the City Council adoption of said code amendments and design
guidelines; and
WHEREAS, the Design and Development Department published a public hearing
notice for this request in The Desert Sun newspaper on June 23, 2018, as prescribed by
the Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, said Zoning Ordinance Amendment has complied with the
requirements of "The Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of
1970" (CEQA) as amended (Resolution 83-63). The Design and Development
Department has determined that the proposed amendment is exempt from
environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), Review for Exemptions –
General Rule, in that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility for this
action to have a significant effect on the environment, and individual development
plans will be reviewed under CEQA as they are proposed; and
WHEREAS, the proposed zoning text amendments are necessary to uphold the
rights and needs of property owners and the public, encourage the preservation of
neighborhood character, and consider changes in market demand in residential
product type to meet the needs of current and future residents in residential districts
in the City of La Quinta; and

Page 2 of 7
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony
and arguments, if any, of all interested persons wanting to be heard, the City Council
did make the following mandatory findings to justify adoption of said Zoning
Ordinance Amendment:
1. Consistency with General Plan
The code amendment is consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the
General Plan. The proposed amendments and design guidelines are supported
by Policy LU-1.2 for land use decisions to be consistent with General Plan
policies and programs and uphold the rights and needs of property owners and
the public; Policy LU-3.1 to encourage the preservation of neighborhood
character and assure a consistent and compatible land use pattern; Program
LU-3.1.a, to review land use designations for changes in the community and
marketplace; and Policy LU-5.2 to consider changes in market demand in
residential product type to meet the needs of current and future residents.
2. Public Welfare
Approval of the code amendment and design guidelines will not create
conditions materially detrimental to the public health, safety and general
welfare. The amendment and design guidelines streamline the development
review process, clarifies language in the municipal code, provides guidelines on
preserving neighborhood character, and does not incorporate any changes that
affect the regulation and/or provision of public services, utility systems, or other
foreseeable health, safety and welfare considerations.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of La Quinta does ordain as
follows:
SECTION 1. SECTION 9.50.090 shall be amended as written in “Exhibit A” attached
hereto.
SECTION 2. The proposed zone text amendment has complied with the requirements
of "The Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970" (CEQA)
as amended (Resolution 83-63). The zone text amendments are consistent with the
previously approved findings of the General Plan 2035 EIR (Environmental Assessment
2012-622) as the proposed amendments implement the goals, policies, and programs
of the General Plan.
SECTION 3. That the City Council does hereby approve Zoning Ordinance
Amendment 2017-0005, as set forth in attached “Exhibit A” for the reasons set forth
in this Ordinance.
SECTION 4. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect thirty (30) days after its
adoption.

SECTION 6. That the City Council does hereby grant the City Clerk the ability to make
minor amendments to “Exhibit A” to ensure consistency of all approved text

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: July 17, 2018
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: RECEIVE AND FILE REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE REPORTS DATED
APRIL 30, 2018
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file revenue and expenditure reports dated April 30, 2018.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•The revenue and expenditure reports summarize the City’s year-to-date (YTD)
and period activity as of April 30, 2018 (Attachment 1).
FISCAL IMPACT – None.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Reports
Below is a summary of the column headers used on the Revenue and Expenditure
Summary Reports:
Original Total Budget – represents revenue and expenditure budgets the
Council adopted in June 2017 for fiscal year 2017/18.
Current Total Budget – represents original adopted budgets plus any
carryovers (typically associated with long-term Capital Improvement Projects
(CIP) from the prior fiscal year) and any Council approved budget amendments
from throughout the year.
Period Activity – represents actual revenues received and expenditures outlaid
in the reporting month.
Fiscal Activity – represents actual revenues received and expenditures outlaid
YTD.
Variance Favorable/ (Unfavorable) - represents the dollar difference between
YTD collections/expenditures and the current budgeted amount.
Percent Used – represents the percentage activity as compared to budget YTD.
The revenue report includes revenues and transfers into funds from other funds
(income items). Revenues are not received uniformly throughout the year, resulting
in peaks and valleys. For example, large property tax payments are usually received
in December and May. Similarly, Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund payments
are typically received in January and June.
The expenditure report includes expenditures and transfers out to other funds. Unlike
CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 8
67
revenues, expenditures are more likely to be consistent from month to month.
However, large debt service payments or CIP expenditures can cause swings.

City of La Quinta
CITY COUNCIL MEETING: July 17, 2018
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: ADOPT RESOLUTION TO REAFFIRM THE APPROVAL OF THE
2018/19 SALARY STRUCTURE INCLUDED IN THE MEMORANDUM OF
UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE CITY OF LA QUINTA AND THE LA QUINTA
CITY EMPLOYEES’ ASSOCIATION AT THE JUNE 19, 2018 MEETING; AND TO
APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
INCREASING THE HEALTH BENEFIT CAP TO $1,709 PER MONTH PER
EMPLOYEE, EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2019
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution to reaffirm the approval of the 2018/19 Salary Structure
included in the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of La Quinta
and the La Quinta City Employees’ Association at the June 19, 2018 meeting;
and to approve Amendment No. 1 to the Memorandum of Understanding
increasing the health benefit cap to $1,709 per month per employee, effective
January 1, 2019.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• The current Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the La Quinta
City Employees’ Association (LQCEA) provides for a meet and confer
reopener to review insurance coverage for the next calendar year.
• The City and LQCEA met and considered the 2019 Health Premium
adjustments which show an increase for employees.
• The recommended Amendment No. 1 is the result of the reopener, which
includes a $41 increase to the current health benefit cap, bringing it to
$1,709 per month per employee.
• A summary of the economic benefits consisting of the reaffirmed 2018/19
salary schedule and health benefit adjustment benefits will be verbally
announced in accordance with Government Code Section 54953(c)(3)
prior to Council taking any action, for the City’s executives as defined by
State law [subdivision (d) of Section 3511.1].
• Cities across the region and State are increasing their health benefit cap
as a result of cost increases stipulated by CalPERS. This adjustment
maintains La Quinta’s competitiveness in the market for employee
attraction and retention while managing increasing costs.
CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 9
73
FISCAL IMPACT
The 2018/19 cost to implement the health benefit cap adjustment to
represented membership is $13,776. The cost to implement this same
adjustment to Management, Contract Management, and Confidential employees
is $10,332. Funds are available in the Contingency for Staffing account (101-
1007-50115).
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
When the LQCEA and the City accepted a three-year MOU in June 2018, both
parties agreed to review amounts paid by the City and employees for insurance
coverage for the next calendar year. Since 1984, the City has provided a
health benefit amount to employees to cover medical, dental, and vision
insurance.
The board of directors for CalPERS sets the rates each year for all California
cities. In June 2018, Staff received the new medical insurance rates, which
become effective January 1, 2019. Overall, costs have increased for the 9
medical plans that the City offers, dental rates are locked in until 2020, and
vision rates are locked until 2021.
On July 9, 2018, the LQCEA’s negotiating team, comprised of their leadership
and members accepted a $41 monthly increase to the current health benefit
cap, bringing it to $1,709 per month per employee.
Except as modified by this Amendment No. 1, the MOU remains in full force and
effect according to its terms.
ALTERNATIVES
The LQCEA and City have worked in the true spirit of cooperation to equitably
serve the needs of both parties. Approval of Amendment No. 1 will conclude a
successful labor negotiation process. Staff does not recommend any
alternatives.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: July 17, 2018
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: ADOPT RESOLUTION TO RECLASSIFY TWO POSITIONS
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution to reclassify an Administrative Assistant and a Community
Resources Coordinator positions to Administrative Technician and Community
Resources Specialist, respectively.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Two positions were identified as having advanced over the last fiscal
year.
Human Resources is requesting that these 2 positions receive title and
classification changes.
These actions will reflect the appropriate classifications of work being
performed by Staff.
FISCAL IMPACT
Annual salary and benefit costs associated with these changes are estimated
at $33,200. Funds are available in the Contingency for Staffing account (101-
1007-50115).
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Over the last fiscal year, Staff has been working with divisions to identify
positions that may need to be classified differently due to role changes over
time.
The position assessment was done by providing Position Description
Questionnaires to two identified staff members. Those questionnaires were
then reviewed by the Human Resources Manager with extensive follow up
review and analysis.
CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 11
91
Currently the Administrative Assistant in the Public Safety division is
conducting a higher level of work and is responsible for a higher level of
service delivery to the public. Higher level duties include providing
administrative support to the division including receiving and tracking
citations; recording hearings; processing invoices for the division;
researching, calculating fees, and preparing statement of costs for billings
owed to the City; collecting and entering accurate cases into Go-Enforce;
understanding and interpreting the Municipal Code to determine violations.
The Community Resources Coordinator at the Wellness Center has
participated in various trainings and shadowing to prepare for the current role
which now processes and prepares payments; set up classes, schedule part-
time staff; motivate, train and counsel part-time staff (demonstrate
procedures, encourage part time staff to control work environment,
improvements to work habits, etc.); and manage and track agreements.
The following are the recommendations:

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: July 17, 2018
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: APPROVE MARKETING AGREEMENT WITH UTILITY SERVICE
PARTNERS, INC. FOR THE NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES SERVICE LINE
WARRANTY PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION
Approve a Marketing Agreement with Utility Service Partners, Inc. for the National
League of Cities Service Line Warranty Program and authorize the City Manager to
execute the agreement.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•The National League of Cities (NLC) Service Line Warranty Program,
administered by Utility Service Partners, Inc. (USP), is a home protection
solution that helps residents with the cost of repairing broken or leaking water
or sewer lines.
•To launch the program, the City will partner with USP and send a letter to each
household.
•Residents who enroll, could choose coverage on 3 products offered: in-home
plumbing, external water service line, and/or external sewer/septic line
warranty.
FISCAL IMPACT
No cost to the City to administer this program. The monthly rate for residents would
be $6.00 per month for the External Water Line program, $9.00 for the External
Sewer Line program, and $9.49 for In-home Plumbing program.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The NLC Service Line Warranty Program provides residents the opportunity to obtain
a low-cost warranty that would provide for utility repairs for a low monthly fee with
no deductibles or service fees. The work is performed by licensed, local plumbers
who will call the customer within one hour of filing a claim. The repair is performed
professionally and quickly, typically within 24 hours. USP provides a personally
staffed 24/7 repair hotline for residents, 365 days a year.
To implement this program, the City will partner with the vendor and send an
informational letter to each household. The letter will educate homeowners regarding
their financial obligation to replace these utility lines and explain how the coverage
would work. Once homeowners are signed up, billing is handled by USP, and the City
has no further obligation.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: July 17, 2018
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: INTRODUCE AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 2.60 OF THE
LA QUINTA MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE,
AND APPROVE THE CALIFORNIA FAIR POLITICAL PRACTICES COMMISSION’S 2018
LOCAL AGENCY BIENNIAL NOTICE
RECOMMENDATION
A) Move to take up Ordinance No. ___ by title and number only and waive further
reading.
B) Move to introduce at first reading Ordinance No. ____ amending Chapter 2.60
of the La Quinta Municipal Code relating to the City’s conflict of interest code.
C) Move to approve and accept the California Fair Political Practices Commission’s
2018 Local Agency Biennial Notice.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• The Political Reform Act (PRA) requires every local government to review its
Conflict of Interest Code (Code) biennially and submit the Local Agency
Biennial Notice (Attachment 1) to the Code reviewing body. The City Council
is the code reviewing body for the City.
• The purpose of the Code is to specifically designate positions that make or
participate in the making of governmental decisions, which may foreseeably
have a material effect on any financial interests of the persons holding those
positions.
• City officials in the positions designated on the attached ordinance must
disclose their financial interests annually and refrain from participation in any
decision(s) that may affect them financially.
• The annual Statement of Economic Interest filings are the basis for the
transparency that California’s PRA requires of public officials. Statements of
Economic Interest are public documents filed with the City Clerk.
FISCAL IMPACT – None.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Public officials, both elected and appointed, are classified in one of two disclosure
categories based on their level of influence on municipal financial decisions. Officials
in the “full disclosure” category have substantial influence and must disclose all
investments, business positions, and interests in real property, within the
BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 1
119
jurisdiction, held on the date of assuming office and income received during the 12
months immediately preceding assuming office.
Officials in the “limited disclosure” category have less influence on decisions. These
positions must disclose personal economic interests held that could be significantly
affected through the exercise of official duties, including investments, business
positions, and income from sources located in or doing business in the City, interests
in real property located in the City, and property located not more than two miles
outside the boundary of the City or property located within two miles of any property
owned or used by the City.
Review of the positions, duties, and influence of public officials has resulted in the
following recommended changes to Section 2.60.020 of the Municipal Code due to
the 2017 reorganization of the Finance and Design and Development Departments,
the expansion of the Investment Advisory Board into the Financial Advisory
Commission to fulfill the citizen oversight duties set forth in Measure G, a 1%
Transaction and Use Tax approved by the La Quinta voters in the November 2016
election, and the City’s 2018 Classification and Compensation update:
Add the following titles as designated positions for “limited disclosure” filing:
• Assistant to the City Manager
• Building Superintendent
• City Engineer
• Financial Services Analyst
• Hub Manager
• Human Resources Manager
• Members of the Financial Advisory Commission
• Parks Superintendent
• Senior Accountant
• Senior Planner
Delete the following title from the “full disclosure” designated positions due to
dissolution of La Quinta’s Oversight Board in accordance with Health and
Safety Code Section 34179(j) effective June 30, 2018:
• Members of the Oversight Board to the Successor Agency
Delete the following titles from the “limited disclosure” designated positions
because the titles were amended or eliminated from the City’s Authorized
Positions list:
• Accounting Manager
• Customer Service Manager
• Members of the Investment Advisory Board
• Principal Engineer
• Principal Planner
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council may elect to (1) approve the proposed Code as submitted, or (2)
revise the proposed Code and approve it as revised.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: July 17, 2018
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: APPROVE AMENDED TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX
INCENTIVE PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION
Approve amended Transient Occupancy Tax Incentive Program.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
x July 2017 Council approved the Transient Occupancy Tax Incentive
Program (Program).
x The Program allows hotel operators who collect Transient Occupancy Tax
(TOT) on resort fees to apply for funding up to $25,000 to help bring new
tourism to La Quinta.
x The amended program (Attachment 1) would allow hotel operators to
apply for funding up to $50,000 and allow the City Manager to authorize
per the Purchasing Policy.
FISCAL IMPACT
Annually $100,000 is set aside from TOT on resort fees collected. Currently, the
City has received $318,000 from July 2017 to May 2018. Hotel operators may
apply for funding until funds are expunged. Each fiscal year unallocated funds
are carried over for use in future fiscal years.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Resort fees are separate fees or charges imposed by a hotel operator for items
and services that are part of the hotel accommodations. In the former Financial
Advisory Committee’s Final Report, it was recommended to apply the TOT rate
to resort fees. If the inclusion of resort fees does not impose a new tax or
increase to the existing TOT rate, the City may collect TOT at the existing rates
inclusive of resort fees, and Council may amend the TOT ordinance without
voter approval. Five other Coachella Valley cities include resort fees when
calculating TOT.
The Mayor and City Staff met with hotel operators that collect resort fees and
expressed the potential for adding the TOT rate to resort fees. One hotel
operator’s request was to utilize a portion of the revenue collected from the
%86,1(666(66,21,7(012
127
fees to help hotels bring new tourism to La Quinta. They expressed how other
cities, one in the Coachella Valley, use grant programs to entice large groups
from major tourism cities such as Los Angeles and Phoenix. This type of
program will only be available to hotel operators that charge resort fees.
Proposed changes align the Program with the City’s Purchasing Policy
thresholds.
ALTERNATIVES
Do not amend the Program.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
DEPARTMENT REPORT
TO: Madam Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: City Attorney’s Office
Bill Ihrke
DATE: July 17, 2018
SUBJECT: Status Update - Electricity Net-Energy Metering and Local
Regulation for Irrigation District Providers
On March 21, 2017, our office was requested to review whether a model
ordinance requiring the Imperial Irrigation District (IID) to offer and
implement a net-energy metering program for customers in the City of La
Quinta (City) is permissible and enforceable. At that time, City Council
direction was to “wait and see” what Riverside County may do with respect to
reviewing and adopting such an ordinance. As reported by Council Member
Sanchez at the July 3, 2018 meeting, the Board of Supervisors approved first
reading of its version of the model ordinance. (See Attachment #1.)
Also at its July 3, 2018 meeting, Council discussed what action, if any, the
City may want to take in light of the Board of Supervisor’s expected adoption
and approval after second reading of the county ordinance. Possible action
included a resolution or an official letter from the mayor expressing support.
Recognizing, however, the likelihood of litigation challenging the county
ordinance, Council expressed a preference not to proceed with adopting a
similar model ordinance to govern the City.
Since the July 3, 2018 meeting, our office has been in communication with
Mr. Dana Reed, of Reed & Davidson, LLP, who represented that Riverside
County entered into an indemnification agreement with Electric Ratepayers
Alliance (a nonprofit) and Renova Energy (a California corporation), which
both support the model ordinance. That agreement, among other terms,
requires these supporters to pay legal fees/costs and to defend the
county in any litigation challenging the ordinance.
Mr. Reed communicated that the supporters of the county ordinance likewise
would be willing to indemnify and pay for legal fees/costs if the City adopted
a similar ordinance. One reason given for asking the City to proceed with
adopting its own ordinance is so that, if a lawsuit is filed against the county,
a city would also have standing to resolve the legal issue of whether IID’s
current metering program would violate Water Code section 22123. That
section reads:
DEPARTMENTAL REPORT ITEM NO. 2
133
Any district providing electric power to areas outside its boundaries shall
be subject to reasonable rules, regulations, and orders of the governing
body of the city or county area being served, but, in no event, more
restrictive than the rules, regulations, and orders of the Public Utilities
Commission upon utilities providing electric power to cities or counties. No
district may impose rates, rules, regulations, or orders in any such area
outside its boundaries which are different from rates, rules, regulations, or
orders imposed within the district, except with the consent of the governing
body of the affected area.
Questions from the Council and further information may be provided verbally
as part of this department report. Our office seeks direction from the Council
as to what actions, if any, to take given the additional information about the
county indemnification agreement.

ORDINANCE NO. 943
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE
ESTABLISHING REGULATIONS AND PROCEDURES FOR
NET-ENERGY METERING BY IRRIGATION DISTRICTS
The Board of Supervisors of the County of Riverside ordains as follows:
Section 1. DEFINITIONS. As used in this ordinance, the following terms shall have
the following meanings:
a.Commission. The Public Utilities Commission of the State of California.
b. Customer-Generators. Those persons or entities (residential and
commercial) who install small solar, wind, biogas, and fuel cell generation facilities
(1 megawatt or less) to serve all or a portion of onsite electricity needs.
c.Irrigation District. Those districts formed and operating pursuant to the
California Irrigation District Act providing electric service in the County whose
Net-energy Metering Program, defined herein, is not regulated by the Commission
but is instead established by the governing board of the Irrigation District.
d. Net-energy Metering or NEM. The Irrigation District program that allows a
Customer-Generator to receive a financial credit for power generated by the
Customer-Generator’s onsite system and fed back to the Irrigation District. The
credit is used to offset the Customer-Generator’s electricity bill. NEM is an
important element of the policy framework supporting direct Customer-Generator
investment in grid-tied distributed renewable energy generation, including
customer-sited solar PV systems.
e.Person. Includes individuals, firms, corporations, partnerships, an Irrigation
District, and their agents, officers, directors, and employees.
f.Southern California Edison or SCE. An investor-owned utility or “IOU”
regulated by the Commission, providing over 14 Million people with electricity
over 50,000 square miles in Southern California.

Section 2. NET-ENERGY METERING PROGRAM. Within ninety (90) days of the
Effective Date of this Ordinance, pursuant to Section 22123 of the California Water Code, with the
express consent and direction of the governing board of the County of Riverside, Irrigation Districts
providing electric service in the County shall offer a NEM program that is as expansive but in no event
more restrictive than the rules, regulations, and orders of the Commission applicable to SCE for NEM
customers under NEM Successor Tariff Decision (D). 16-01-044 and any decision of the Commission that
supersedes such decision or otherwise governs NEM. As of the Effective Date of this Ordinance, the
Irrigation District shall provide Customer-Generators a credit equal to the fully bundled retail rate for
generation that offsets load (coincident or non-coincident), and covers net excess generation. In addition
to billing credits for net energy exported to the electric grid, participating NEM Customer-Generators
shall also be exempt from standby charges, departing load charge, and costs associated with
interconnection application fees, studies and distribution upgrades. In the event that the Commission-
adopted rules, regulations, and orders applicable to the SCE NEM program are amended by the
Commission and, as a result, this ordinance becomes more restrictive than the Commission-approved SCE
NEM program, this ordinance shall be deemed amended to be consistent with and to mirror the NEM
program approved by the Commission for SCE without further action required of the County governing
Board.
Section 3. SUPERSEDE EXISTING NEM PROGRAM RULES, REGULATIONS
AND ORDERS. This ordinance shall be deemed to occupy the field with regard to NEM programs
offered by Irrigation Districts to Customer-Generators in the County and shall supersede any existing
NEM program rules, regulations, and orders adopted by Irrigation Districts for Customer-Generators in
the County.
Section 4. CREDITS. As a part of its NEM program required pursuant to Section 2 of
this ordinance, the Irrigation District shall provide participating Customer-Generators with a bill credit for
excess generation that is exported to the electric grid during times when it is not serving onsite load. On a
month-to-month basis, bill credits for the excess generation are applied to a Customer-Generator’s bill at
the same retail rate (including generation, distribution, and transmission components) that the Customer-
Generator would have paid for energy consumption, according to their otherwise applicable rate structure.

At the end of a customer’s 12-month billing period, any balance of surplus electricity is trued-up at a
separate fair market value, known as net surplus compensation (NSC). The NSC rate is based on a 12-
month rolling average of the market rate for energy and is currently approximately $0.04 to $0.05 per
kilowatt-hour (kWh) pursuant to Commission Decision (D.) 11-06-016.
Section 5. NEM AGGREGATION. As a part of its NEM program required pursuant
to Section 2 of this ordinance, the Irrigation District shall also permit NEM aggregation, in which an
eligible Customer-Generator elects to aggregate the electrical load from multiple meters, and NEM credits
are shared among all property that is attached, adjacent, or contiguous to the generation facility. Properties
eligible for NEM aggregation shall be interpreted in the same manner as the Commission has for SCE
customers. A Customer-Generator must be the sole owner, lessee, or renter of the properties in order to
utilize NEM aggregation. For example, an agricultural customer could use a single solar system to
provide NEM bill credits to offset the electrical load from their home as well as from an irrigation pump
located on an adjacent parcel.
Section 6. VIRTUAL NET METERING. As a part of its NEM program required
pursuant to Section 2 of this ordinance, the Irrigation District shall also offer, as a part of its NEM
program, Virtual Net Metering (VNM), a tariff available to multi-tenant properties that enables an owner
of such property to allocate a solar system's benefits to tenants across multiple units. The system owner,
including but not limited to owners of affordable multifamily properties, shall be permitted to allocate bill
credits of a percentage of the solar generation between common load areas and tenants along a multiple
service delivery points.
Section 7. INTERCONNECTION FEE. As a part of its NEM program required
pursuant to Section 2 of this ordinance, the Irrigation District, consistent with the Commission’s rules
relating to the Commission’s successor NEM tariff program may assess an one-time interconnection fee,
not to exceed seventy-five dollars ($75) for projects of less than 1 megawatt (MW), and non-bypassable
charges on each kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity they consume from the grid to fund special programs
offered by the Irrigation District, not to exceed 3 cents per kWh. Non-bypassable charges shall be
imposed on the same net interval as determined by the Commission.

Section 8. VIOLATIONS AND PENALTIES. It shall be unlawful for any person to
violate any provision of this ordinance. Any person violating any provision of this ordinance shall be
deemed guilty of an infraction or misdemeanor as hereinafter specified. Such person shall be deemed
guilty of a separate offense for each and every day or portion thereof during which any violation of any
of the provisions of this ordinance is committed, continued or permitted. Any person so convicted shall
be: (1) guilty of an infraction offense and punished by a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars
($100.00) for a first violation; (2) guilty of an infraction offense and punished by a fine not exceeding
two hundred dollars ($200.00) for a second violation. The third and any additional violations shall
constitute a misdemeanor offense and shall be punishable by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars
($1,000.00) or six (6) months in jail or both. Notwithstanding the above, a first offense may be charged
and prosecuted as a misdemeanor. Payment of any penalty herein shall not relieve a person from the
responsibility for correcting the violation.
Section 9. SEVERABILITY. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of
this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the
remaining portions of this ordinance, The Board of Supervisors hereby declares that it would have
adopted the ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, irrespective of the
fact that any one or more sections, subsections, clauses or phrases be declared invalid.
Section 10. EFFECTIVE DATE. This ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after
its adoption.

throughout the month; mainly in Short Term Vacation Rental (STVR) cases, which
have increased from 74 in 2017 to 176 year-to-date.
Code Compliance Cases
Staff is making revisions to Title 3.25 to improve Short-Term Vacation Rental (STVR)
ordinance.
Grant program for low income residents - Staff helped a resident apply and obtain a grant to
clean and beautify their front-yard landscaping. The resident was able to have a large
eucalyptus tree removed, landscaping cleaned, and desert landscaping installed.
An elderly resident received assistance from Southwest Church and City. The house was in
need of general maintenance; Southwest crew arrived, trimmed and removed dead and
overgrown trees and shrubs in the front-yard and backyard. The group obtained generous
donations from local businesses to help buy tools, material and plants. Two code
members volunteered and assisted with the work.

Animal ControlUpdate
At the June 19 Council meeting, a new animal service contract between Riverside
County Department of Animal Services and the City was approved. The cost and
services remain comparable to the previous agreement. However, there are some
notable changes made on behalf of the City, such as: Animal Control Officers will now
be able to enforce other city codes in addition to Title 10 (Animals), specifically, Title 9
(Zoning) as it relates to animals. The City will also be able to schedule additional
enforcement activity during off hours and on weekends.
Early morning patrols at the top of the cove and along the Bear Creek Trail continue
in an effort to educate residents and visitors about the leash law and picking up after
their pet.
False AlarmsOct 2017 Nov 2017 Dec 2017 Jan 2018 Feb 2018 Mar 2018 Apr 2018 May 2018 Jun 2018211197179155164211218203198050100150200250False AlarmsStaff continues to work with Police and Fire to reduce false alarms. The City hascollected approximately $7,700 in fees from users with three or more false alarms.
Since the inception of the Fee program in October 2017, the number of false alarms
was in a downward trend, however, in the months of February, March and April of this
year, there has been a spike, possibly due to a large influx of tourist and seasonal
residents. May and June have started the downward trend once again. Staff will
continue to monitor numbers and contacting residents to encourage reduction of
false alarms.
Short Term Vacation Rentals (STVRs)
Staff saw an increase in festival related issues at STVRs and STVRs
hosting special events. Code staff worked closely with the La
Quinta Police to respond to and monitor issues over the
Coachella Fest and Stage Coach weekends.

Topic: Street Sign Repair & Maint
Employee: James Lindsey Customer: Lesliedaniel1@hotmail.com
Description: Please remove this sign or at least move it where it is not the first thing that catches my eye from the
INSIDE of my house. The street is one block long and people don’t speed here - I would say they
automatically go 10 mph since they know the curve is there. Please also remove the large signs at the
curve of Juárez and Yucatán. They are an eyesore. I didn’t just spend a large amount of money on
relandscaping to have the city just litter the area with HUGE yellow and black unnecessary signs.
Reason Closed: Lowered signs down to 5’ to bottom of the sign to pavement per the revised Traffic Engineer's work order.
This was done to improve the sight distance clearance to the mountains. If you require further assistance,
please contact James Lindsey at (760) 777-7052.
Service Effectiveness: Below Average
Rate our knowledge and ability to process your request timely: Poor
Were we courteous and professional?: No answer
Expectations Met: Below
How can the City improve?: The sign is to be 100 feet from the curve - it is over 200 feet. None of us are happy with the situation,
Lowering the sign did nothing to address the issue - that was an exercise in futility. The issue was raised in
early May, and nothing has been done to alleviate the situation. (Your prompt response to the oversupply
of chevrons on Avenida Juarez and Yucatan WAS appreciated.) There are several other locations that are
acceptable , and I believe that Bill Clarke came with a map to your office. Lining it up to about where the
fire hydrant is would work for everyone. Please reconsider. thanks, Leslie Daniel

Hideaway; becoming a traffic safety hazard. Can not see oncoming traffic in both directions.
