GRANT REQUEST
TO: Mayor, Members of City Council, City of La Quinta
FROM: La Quints Chamber of Commerce
DATE: August 20, 2015
RE: Request for Rent & Utilities Abatement
= 1-4�1��015
BACKGROUND: The La Quinta Chamber of Commerce is currently located within La Quinta City
Hall. The Chamber pays $600 monthly rent, plus $200 monthly utilities, for this space. We are
very grateful to the City for allowing us to be within the confines of City Hall. Our location provides
many opportunities for us to meet potential new members and work with existing businesses for
the betterment of the economic development of our City. Additionally, the location serves as a
visitor center for new residents and tourists.
SITUATION: The Chamber is currently undergoing a period of transition. While we expect a bright
future, we are uncovering many unexpected obstacles to our current success. We have already
put in place several new policies and procedures that should help us overcome our current
financial shortfalls. Membership investment collections have been prioritized, new member fees
have been reviewed, receivables are being pursued, payables are being addressed, and there is a
new atmosphere of positive energy. We can only go up from here.
REQUEST: The La Quinta Chamber of Commerce respectfully requests rent abatement for the
balance of fiscal year 2015-2016. At $800 per month, this would total $8,000. (Assuming the
abatement would start in September.)
Thank you for consideration of our request.
