Planning Manager Flores presented the staff report, which is on file in the Clerk’s
Office.
City Attorney Ihrke said Council has the authority to approve or modify a Specific
Plan Amendment (SPA) based on the Planning Commission (PC)
recommendation. However, if there is a “substantial modification” to the SPA
that has not been previously considered by the PC, the project should be referred
back to the PC for review and be given the opportunity to comment and make a
recommendation. There is no binding legal case or precedent deciding that the
proposed height modification is a “substantial modification” under State law, and
neither City Staff nor the City Attorney’s Office would characterize it as such. In
light of the applicant’s request tonight to continue consideration of this project
until December 15, 2020, the continued timeline would allow a review by the PC
prior to this project coming back before the Council, and Staff recommends
referring it back so that the PC can review the proposed height modifications
prior to Council approval. The PC’s review of the height modification does not
need to be conducted as a public hearing.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: November 3, 2020
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: RECEIVE AND FILE REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE REPORT
DATED JUNE 30, 2020
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file revenue and expenditure report dated June 30, 2020.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•The report summarizes the City’s period and year-to-date (YTD)
revenues and expenditures for June 2020 (Attachment 1).
•These reports are also reviewed by the Financial Advisory Commission.
FISCAL IMPACT - None
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
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 2019 for fiscal year 2019/20.
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.
CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 2
NO.
21
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. Any timing imbalance of revenue receipts versus
expenditures is funded from the City’s cash flow reserve.
The expenditure report includes expenditures and transfers out to other funds.
Unlike revenues, expenditures are more likely to be consistent from month to
month. However, large debt service payments or CIP expenditures can cause
swings.

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: RECEIVE AND FILE REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE REPORT
DATED AUGUST 31, 2020
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file revenue and expenditure report dated August 31, 2020.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•The report summarizes the City’s year-to-date (YTD) revenues and period
expenditures for July 2020 (Attachment 1).
•These reports are also reviewed by the Financial Advisory Commission.
FISCAL IMPACT – None
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
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 2020 for fiscal year 2020/21.
Current Total Budget – represents original adopted budgets plus any
Council approved budget amendments from throughout the year. The
2019/20 operating and Capital Improvement Project carryovers to
2020/21 will be processed after the year-end audit is completed.
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.
CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 3
27
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. Any timing imbalance of revenue receipts versus
expenditures is funded from the City’s cash flow reserve.
The expenditure report includes expenditures and transfers out to other funds.
Unlike revenues, expenditures are more likely to be consistent from month to
month. However, large debt service payments or CIP expenditures can cause
swings.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Council requested an analysis be performed along Adams Street near La
Palma Drive to address resident’s concerns about excessive vehicular speeds
and pedestrian crossings. The Traffic Engineer provided options for
consideration by the City, along with recommendations for best results
(Attachment 2).
A “road diet” on Adams Street would eliminate one travel lane in each direction
between Fred Waring Drive and Miles Avenue. Based on existing and projected
traffic volumes, the City can still maintain reasonable circulation and capacity
for future growth, while resolving most of the current issues experienced by
residents driving, walking along or crossing Adams Street. At the October 20,
2020 meeting, Council supported the concept and provided direction to prepare
plans for the restriping project.
This project includes the restriping of the roadway on Adams Street between
Miles Avenue and Fred Waring Drive to one vehicular travel lane in each
direction.
Pedestrian safety, walkability, expanding golf cart connectivity, bicycling, and
speed calming along Adams Street are some of the primary purposes for this
type of project. Implementation of this project should assist significantly with
those goals. Once implemented, a follow-up study could take place to see if
further traffic calming measures are justified, if any measures need to be
adjusted, and if enforcement strategies are being effective.
Future additional measures that could be implemented, if needed after such
review, include installation of a mid-block crosswalk, rectangular Rapid
Flashing Beacon (RRFB) for the mid-block crosswalk, feedback signs in each
direction reminding drivers of the speed limits, a raised center median on
Adams Street at the mid-block crossing, or flashing beacons reinforcing when
the 25-mph speed limit is in effect.
Contingent upon approval to advertise the project for bid on November 3, 2020,
the following is the project schedule:

City of La Quinta Adams Street Crosswalk Study
Executive Summary:
The City of La Quinta requested an analysis be performed along Adams Street near La
Palma Drive to address resident’s concerns about excessive vehicular speeds and
pedestrian crossings. Willdan Engineering has been contracted to provide a review of the
existing conditions, analyze the issues, provide options for consideration by the City,
along with recommendations for best results. The findings and recommendations will be
presented to City staff and/or City Council for final determinations.
Adams Street is essentially a 4-lane divided highway with painted medians, or two way
turn lanes, dividing the travel lanes. Left turn pockets are provided at intersections and
no bike or golf cart lanes currently exist anywhere along the entire segment between Miles
Avenue and Fred Waring Drive. There are controlled crossings at the signalized
intersections of Fred Waring Drive and Adams Street approx. 750 ft. to the north of La
Palma Drive, and at the intersection of Miles Avenue and Adams Street approx. 1,750 ft.
to the south of La Palma Drive. At other adjacent intersections, pedestrians cross Adams
Street unassisted at uncontrolled locations. A review of visibility indicates that visibility is
acceptable for conditions and speeds at these intersections along Adams Street.
Field observations also revealed light volumes along Adams Street. This is primarily due
to 3 major factors a) the summer season is about half the population as the winter season
b) the COVID 19 restrictions has reduced travel on all streets in the Coachella Valley and
c) nearby schools are not open for attendance and classes are being held virtually online.
Our review also determined that speeds are the primary issue that residents have
concerns with, with some drivers adhering to the posted 25 mph near the park, and some
ignoring that limit and reaching speeds up to 50 mph in the posted 40 mph and 25 mph
sections, making it more difficult for pedestrians to select appropriate gaps when crossing.
Recommendations:
As mentioned, Willdan Engineering was tasked with analyzing conditions along Adams
Street and developing mitigation measures including the possible implementation of a
“road diet” on Adams Street. The road diet on Adams Street would require the elimination
of one travel lane in each direction. In order to maintain a level of service “E” or better
with just one lane in each direction and left turn lanes at intersections, segment traffic
volumes need to be less than 17,000 vehicles per day. The entire section of Adams Street
is well below that threshold. Based on the available capacity, this allows the City to
consider a “road diet” solution on Adams Street and still maintain reasonable circulation
and capacity with future growth. The primary advantages of having just one lane on the
segment between Miles Avenue and Fred Waring Drive are:
• Improved sight distance for exiting side street traffic.
• Less lanes for exiting drivers to gauge the speed of approaching vehicles
• Potentially reduced speeds along Adams Street by platooning vehicles into one lane
and not allowing any passing
• Allows for the addition of a wide bike / golf cart lane to connect to the amenities nearby
53

City of La Quinta Adams Street Crosswalk Study
• Creation of a wide buffer zone between moving vehicles and golf carts, bicyclists &
pedestrians
• Create potential for adding right turn only lanes at key intersections
• Create potential for adding acceleration lanes at key intersections
• Reduces the number of moving travel lanes that pedestrians, school children, and
bicyclists must cross
• Provides several refuge areas for pedestrians, school children, and bicyclists when
crossing
• Potentially reduce collisions
• Enhance pedestrian safety when crossing.
For these reasons, a “road diet” should be considered as the first feasible option for
implementation on Adams Street. The “road diet” resolves most of the current issues
experienced by residents driving and walking along and crossing Adams Street.
Additional measures are also suitable for implementation at various locations, as well as
cost effective, and could be phased in or included with the initial restriping of Adams Street
to include as example some of the following:
1. Continue to enforce the speed limit along Adams Street
2. Installation of a mid-block crosswalk approx. 180 ft. s/o La Palma at the opening
to the park and relocating advance warning signs to this crossing
3. Speed feedback signage in each direction to remind drivers of the posted speed
limits.
4. Install a Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) for the mid-block crosswalk
5. Install a raised center median on Adams Street at the mid-block crossing
6. Install flashing beacons reinforcing when the 25 mph speed limit is in effect
Summary:
Application of various traffic calming and safety measures will help the City of La Quinta
resolve issues along Adams Street in the most cost-efficient manner. The program
outlined will include public comments and be tailored to the needs of the residents and
the City. Traffic volumes are such that the levels of service at key intersections will be
maintained with the new striping proposed yet enhancing the flow where needed.
Approximate cost estimates have been provided for many of the options to allow the City
to gauge how many traffic calming features they wish to pursue.
Pedestrian safety, walkability, expanding golf cart connectivity, bicycling and speed
calming along Adams Street are some of the primary purposes for this type of project and
implementation of these recommendations should assist significantly with those goals.
Meeting with staff, City Council, and residents will help ensure public input and buy-in for
the proposals presented. Once implemented, a follow-up study could take place to see if
further traffic calming measures are justified, if any measures need to be adjusted, and if
enforcement strategies are being effective.

Adams Street Crosswalk Study
Introduction:
The City of La Quinta requested an analysis be performed along Adams Street near La
Palma Drive to address resident’s concerns about excessive vehicular speeds and
pedestrian crossings. Willdan Engineering has been contracted to provide a review of the
existing conditions, analyze the issues, provide options for consideration by the City,
along with recommendations for best results. The findings and recommendations will be
presented to City staff and/or City Council for final determinations.
Background/Existing Conditions:
Adams Street is essentially a 4-lane divided highway with painted medians, or two way
turn lanes dividing the travel lanes. Left turn pockets are provided at intersections and no
bike or golf cart lanes currently exist anywhere along the entire segment between Miles
Avenue and Fred Waring Drive. There are controlled crossings at the signalized
intersections of Fred Waring Drive and Adams Street approx. 750 ft. to the north of La
Palma Drive, and at the intersection of Miles Avenue and Adams Street approx. 1,750 ft.
to the south of La Palma Drive. At other adjacent intersections, pedestrians cross Adams
Street unassisted at uncontrolled locations. A review of visibility indicates that visibility is
acceptable for conditions and speeds at these intersections along Adams Street. The
adjacent land use along Adams Street is non-fronting residential communities with Adams
Park located at the southwest corner of Adams Street and La Palma Drive.
Field observations also revealed light volumes along Adams Street. This is primarily due
to 3 major factors:
a) the summer season is about half the population at the winter season;
b) the COVID 19 restrictions has reduced travel on all streets in the Coachella Valley; and
c) nearby schools are not open for attendance and classes are being handled on-line.
Our review also determined that speeds are the primary issue that residents have
concerns with, with some drivers adhering to the posted 25 mph near the park, and some
ignoring that limit and reaching speeds up to 50 mph in the posted 40 mph and 25 mph
sections, making it more difficult for pedestrians to select appropriate gaps when crossing.
An area map of the study area is shown in Exhibit 1.

Exhibit 1- Study Area
Data Collection:
The existing volumes were not collected at various key locations or along Adams Street,
as engineering judgment reveals that these volumes are currently much lower than peak
season. However, the review of previous data indicates that none of the uncontrolled
intersections would meet any warrants for upgrading to signalization based on traffic
volumes or collision history. Speed surveys were collected in August 2016. Sight
distances were observed at each of the uncontrolled intersections in both directions.
Lane widths were measured along Adams Street and the street was driven to identify
where possible placement of speed feedback signs may be helpful.
Analysis:
Speed Data – Initially, speed data was reviewed to see what options may be available
for possible reducing of speed limits along Adams Street. Radar speed surveys were
collected in this roadway segments in August 2016 for La Quinta’s Engineering and Traffic
Survey. The speed survey is in Appendix A and is summarized in the table below:

The results show that the section of Adams Street from Miles Avenue to Fred Waring
Drive has an 85th percentile speed of 42 mph currently. Due to the current California
Vehicle Code and MUTCD standards, it is possible to reduce the speed limit to 40 mph
by rounding down.
It should be noted that restriping portions of Adams Street as one lane each way (road
diet) could lead to lower speeds and thus resurveying Adams Street after such
installations could lead to additional lowering of speed limits should the 85th percentile
speed drop a few miles per hour.
Sight Distance – Existing sight distances were measured at each of the uncontrolled
intersections in both approaching directions. The primary purpose for this evaluation is to
identify possible candidates for adjustment of the existing speed limits.
The latest California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) standards
for corner sight distance and minimum stopping sight distance are:
Speed Corner Sight Distance
(7.5 seconds)
Minimum Stopping
Sight Distance
25 mph 275 ft 150 ft
30 mph 330 ft 200 ft
35 mph 385 ft 250 ft
40 mph 440 ft 300 ft
45 mph 495 ft 360 ft
50 mph 550 ft 430 ft
55 mph 605 ft 500 ft
Sight distances were then compared to the latest California Manual of Uniform Traffic
Control Devices (CA MUTCD) standards for corner sight distance and minimum stopping
sight distance.
Ideally, agencies would prefer to have corner sight distance available at all intersections.
However, due to location, geometric design in place, curvature of the roadway (vertical
and horizontal curves), walls, trees, shrubs, monument signs, etc., corner sight distance
isn’t always achievable. To that end, sight distance greater than the minimum stopping
distance but less than corner sight distance is generally considered acceptable.
A review of the sight distance revealed no locations that are less than the “minimum
stopping sight distance” of 300’ for the existing posted speed limit of 40 mph. These are:

Bold and Underlined = critical distance / direction
C/M = current corner sight distance allowable speed/minimum stopping sight distance
allowable speed
OK = more than 605’ of sight distance (55 mph)
Options like reducing the roadway width by restriping to one lane and providing a “buffer”
zone between the bike / golf cart lane and travel lane or striping right turn only lanes and
acceleration lanes at certain side streets, allows vehicles to creep further into the street
and increase their visibility, thereby making all locations acceptable in terms of sight
distance for approaching vehicles. Upon installation of a road diet, speeds along those
segments may also decline as “no passing” is allowed and vehicles wanting to speed can
no longer go around slower vehicles that are driving the speed limit. Re-evaluation of
speeds may also lead to a lower posted speed limit in this section of Adams Street, further
enhancing the opportunities for side street traffic to exit and pedestrian safety when
crossing.
Volume Data – Existing volumes (both 24 hour and peak hours) were measured and
reviewed by Willdan Engineering to see what options were available for restriping and
possible lane reductions. Twenty-four (24) hour traffic volumes conducted in September
2016 (when school was in session) along Adams Street and are shown in the table and
figure below.
Street
Average Annual
Daily Traffic (ADT)
Adams Street: Fred Waring Drive - Miles Avenue 8,353 per day
La Palma Drive w/o Adams Street (estimated) 1,000 per day
As mentioned, Willdan Engineering was tasked with analyzing conditions on Adams
Street and developing mitigation measures including the possible implementation of a
“road diet”. The road diet on Adams Street would require the elimination of one travel lane
in each direction. In order to maintain level of service “E” or better with just one lane in
each direction and left turn lanes at intersections, segment traffic volumes need to be less
than 17,000 vehicles per day. The entire street is well below that threshold and based on
the available capacity, this allows the City to consider a “road diet” solution on Adams
Street and still maintain reasonable circulation and capacity with future growth. The
advantages of having just one lane on the segment between Fred Waring Drive and Miles
Avenue are:
• Improved sight distance for exiting side street traffic.

City of La Quinta Adams Street Crosswalk Study
• Less lanes for exiting drivers to gauge the speed of approach vehicles
• Potentially reduced speeds along Adams Street by platooning vehicles into one lane
and not allowing any passing
• Allows for the addition of a wide bike / golf cart lane to connect to the amenities nearby
• Creation of a wide buffer zone between moving vehicles and golf carts, bicyclists and
pedestrians
• Create potential for adding right only lanes at key intersections
• Create potential for adding acceleration lanes at key intersections
• Reduces the number of moving travel lanes that pedestrians, school children, and
bicyclists must cross
• Provides several refuge areas for pedestrians, school children and bicyclists when
crossing
• Potentially reduces collisions
• Enhance pedestrian safety when crossing.
Collision Data – Existing collision data from the California Statewide Integrated Traffic
Records System (SWITRS) was researched along Adams Street between Fred Waring
Drive and Miles Avenue to identify if there were any reoccurring patterns that would be
considered “correctable” with the installation of traffic control devices or restriping options.
The search of the collision history for the last 5 full calendar years indicated that no
collisions were reported in this area, neither vehicular nor pedestrian type.

City of La Quinta Adams Street Crosswalk Study
Traffic Calming Measures:
Traffic calming measures are various techniques applied that have achieved some
success over years of studies in slowing down or making streets safer for vehicles,
pedestrians and bicyclists. The list of traffic calming options below are those that were
reviewed to see which may be best suited for application to Adams Street based on a
combination of geometry, volumes, collision history, sight distances, prevailing speeds,
and other engineering factors.
Possible Solutions Considered and Not Recommended Include:
1. Painted Crosswalk ($1,500) – Merely painting a crosswalk with paint on the
ground in itself does not add any safety for pedestrians trying to select gaps and
negotiate crossing 4 approaching lanes of travel. If located at the intersection of
La Palma Drive as example, it is further complicated by the vehicles approaching
from the side street and turning across the crossing. Painted lines on the pavement
are not deterrents for drivers to slow down as commonly believed. It has been
studied for decades by industry safety leaders and found that pedestrians are 6
times more likely to be struck in a painted crosswalk than in an unpainted crossing.
The primary reason for this is the “false sense” of security many pedestrians
assume when they step into the street in front of an approaching vehicle. It is
recommended that a crosswalk not be painted without other safety enhancements
put into place with it.
2. All way stop control ($4,000) – All way stop control warrants were not completed,
but engineering judgment concluded that these intersections would not meet the
minimum criteria for all-way stop control. Additionally, this arterial street is not
designed for this type of control measure, but instead signalization is typically
along an arterial street such as Adams Street.
3. Traffic Signal ($400,000) – Similarly, a signal would not meet the minimum criteria
for this intersection and the cost would not be recommended with other less costly
options available to consider first.
4. Pedestrian Bridge ($2,000,000) – Extremely expensive option that may not even
have the r-o-w to construct and would not be recommended with other less costly
options available to consider first.
5. Pedestrian Tunnel ($2,000,000) - Extremely expensive option that may not even
have the r-o-w to construct and would not be recommended with other less costly
options available to consider first.
6. Raised Crosswalk ($30,000) – Not appropriate design feature for an arterial
roadway like Adams Street.
60
9
City of La Quinta Adams Street Crosswalk Study
7. Speed Humps ($40,000) – Not appropriate design feature for an arterial roadway
like Adams Street.
8. Lighting ($20,000) – Adding lighting to an intersection increases the appearance
and location where potential crossings may be either a vehicle or pedestrian, but
not likely effective to resolving the speed concerns nor pedestrian issues with
selecting gaps in traffic. Since this does not currently have a safety history, lighting
isn’t recommended at this time at the intersection of La Palma Drive.
9. Roundabout ($1,000,000) - A
mini traffic circle in lieu of all-
way stop is an option that can be
considered for assisting with
slowing of traffic approaching an
intersection. These work best
with just one entering lane from
each approach and could
possibly be designed to fit within
the existing right-of-way on
Adams Street at La Palma
Drive. An example of a mini
traffic circle is shown in the
image on the right. This would
be instead of an all way stop or
signal. With a road diet
installation and an all-way stop
at this intersection, traffic could
back up during peak periods. The cost for such an installation is high and based
on existing accident history and public acceptance for these types of designs, it
may be prudent to hold off and try lessor cost options first.
Solutions Considered for Possible Recommendations Include:
1. Enforcement by Police (Included in current contract) – provide monitoring and
enforcement as appropriate to help control vehicle speeds.
2. Road Diet ($40,000) – Restriping the roadway to provide one lane in each
direction will provide many traffic calming and safety advantages including:
• Improved sight distances for side street traffic exiting
• Less lanes to have to gauge the speed of approaching vehicles
• No high-speed passing, potentially reducing speeds along Adams Street
• Creation of wide bike/golf cart lanes w/ buffer zones between moving
vehicles and bicyclists/golf carts
• Creation for potential adding right only lanes or acceleration lanes at key
intersections
• Provide wide refuge for pedestrians, children and bicyclists when crossing
61
10
City of La Quinta Adams Street Crosswalk Study
• Reduces the number of moving travel lanes that pedestrians, school
children, and bicyclists must cross
• Potentially reduces collisions / enhance pedestrian safety when crossing.
3. Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons ($30,000) – This option is to bring
attention to pedestrians crossing at uncontrolled locations. The rectangular rapid
flashing beacon (RRFB), shown in the image below does not stop traffic on the
major street, but when activated by the pedestrian, it flashes a yellow strobe like
light warning the driver a pedestrian may be in or soon entering the roadway. This
type of additional control may be beneficial at either location (at La Palma Drive or
at the proposed option for a mid-block crossing approx. 180 ft s/o La Palma Drive).
The combination of an RRFB and a road diet (one lane only each way) can
enhance the opportunity for pedestrians to cross safely. The cost and installation
for an RRFB is relatively minor and can be added in future if desired at any
uncontrolled location where pedestrian activity may be higher than others.
62
11
City of La Quinta Adams Street Crosswalk Study
4. Raised Median ($10,000) – providing a raised refuge w/ ADA compliant ramps in
the center of the roadway will give pedestrians an added option to stop crossing
and allow a vehicle to pass by before continuing. If the location of the crossing has
also RRFB capabilities, then the refuge area also allows for placement of push
buttons to re-activate those flashing lights when pedestrians re-start their crossing.
5. Speed Feedback Signs ($25,000) – to assist drivers with monitoring their speeds,
La Quinta and other cities have had success with the deployment of speed
feedback signs along various streets. Adams Street is a candidate for this type of
application to remind drivers to maintain speeds at the posted speed limit by
displaying traveling speeds of the approaching vehicles. The suggested locations
for speed feedback signs include:
o NB Adams Street n/o Ocotillo Drive – where 25 MPH zone ahead sign is
o SB Adams Street s/o Fred Waring Drive – at the 25 MPH sign
Speed feedback signs at the suggested locations will allow the City to record and
monitor speeds along these segments and recommend police enforcement
strategies accordingly. The signs help remind drivers of their speed and can assist
with reducing speeds along Adams Street.
6. Flashing Beacons on 25 MPH Speed Limit Signs ($20,000) – these would be
to add flashing yellow beacons to the existing 25 mph signs to alert drivers when
25 mph is appropriate. (currently 6am to 10pm). This reminder may be helpful in
getting driver attention to reduce from the 40 mph zone to 25 mph zone quicker
63
12
City of La Quinta Adams Street Crosswalk Study
and/or allow the City Council to consider other hours of operation such as sunrise
to sunset and flashing lights adjusted throughout the year accordingly.
7. Relocating Crossing to Mid-Block s/o La Palma Drive ($20,000) – By relocating
a potential crossing of Adams Street to 180 ft s/o La Palma Drive, there is an
opportunity to line up a crosswalk directly with the opening in the Adams Street
Park fencing and lead pedestrians directly to a major neighborhood destination.
The advantage of this location for pedestrians is that they would only have to seek
a gap in traffic in one direction, walk to the center median, and then continue after
seeking a gap in the opposing direction. There would not be a need to encounter
turning vehicles in and out of La Palma Drive along with the 4 lanes approaching.
8. Add Gates to Park Fencing ($10,000) – Part of the concern for establishing the
25 mph zone adjacent to the Adams Streets Park may have been to help protect
against a young child entering the roadway from the adjacent park site which was
unfenced. Fencing has since been added and by adding self-closing gates to the
3 openings, it could add one more safety measure along this side of the roadway.
64
13
City of La Quinta Adams Street Crosswalk Study
9. Installing Pedestrian HAWK Signal ($45,000) – This device is designed to stop
all approaching traffic when activated by a pedestrian. The signal will go solid red
and have countdown pedestrian heads to get the pedestrian started. Once
crossing has begun, the signal will flash red allowing cars in the opposing lanes to
clear the crosswalk if the pedestrian has already crossed that half of the street.
This has an advantage over the RRFB devices in that it brings all traffic to a stop,
instead of just warning drivers that someone may be crossing.
10. Mid-Block Pedestrian Signal ($150,000) – This is similar to a full traffic signal at
an intersection but has the advantage of less equipment needed to cross only
pedestrians mid-block. The pedestrian signal stops all approaching traffic and
provides crossing time to clear the entire street with countdown pedestrian signal
heads. The signal would typically also include overhead safety lighting and
illuminated signs on the mast arms for better identification.
Recommendations:
While the ten measures listed above are suitable for implementation at various locations,
as well as cost effective, Willdan Engineering would recommend the following traffic
calming be considered first for possible implementation:
65
14
City of La Quinta Adams Street Crosswalk Study
Phase 1 (approx. $50,000)
1. Provide active enforcement as appropriate for the 25 mph zone
2. Road diet for one lane in each direction to include – right turn lanes at intersections,
bike/golf cart lanes on each side
3. Buffer zones separating moving vehicles from bikes and golf carts
4. Install crosswalk approx. 180 ft s/o La Palma Drive with ADA ramps and
appropriate signs and markings
Phase 2 (if needed – approx. $55,000)
5. Add pedestrian RRFB/Flashing Beacon to crosswalk to alert drivers a pedestrian
is in the roadway or about to cross
6. Speed feedback signs to remind drivers of the 25 mph speed limit and their
prevailing speed.
Conclusions:
Application of various traffic calming measures will help the City of La Quinta resolve
issues along Adams Street in a cost-efficient manner. The program outlined will include
public comments and be tailored to the needs of the residents and the City. Traffic
volumes are such that the levels of service at key intersections will be maintained with
the new striping proposed yet enhancing the flow where needed. Approximate cost
estimates have been provided for many of the options to allow the City to gauge how
many traffic calming features they wish to pursue. The options recommended were
selected based on the lower cost for the most benefits, helping stretch the City’s funding
further.
Pedestrian safety, walkability, connecting golf cart lanes, bicycling and speed calming on
Adams Street are some of the primary purposes for this type of project and
implementation of these recommendations should assist significantly with those goals.
Meeting with staff, Council, and residents will help ensure public input and buy-in for the
proposals presented. Once implemented, a follow-up study should take place to see if
further speed reductions are justified, if any measures need to be adjusted, and if
enforcement strategies are being effective.

OVERVIEW
The City oversees multiple sources of funds which are reported in the
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) issued prior to December 30th
of each year and presented at a public meeting shortly thereafter. This Fiscal
Year 2019/20 Budget Report (Report) focuses on the General Fund and
summarizes the overall financial activities of fiscal year (FY) 2019/20 and the
City’s financial position through June 30, 2020.
The FY 2019/20 budget was altered by unforeseen COVID-related
adjustments; therefore, the Report also includes a summary comparison to FY
2018/19, which further illustrates the financial impacts resulting from volatile
economic conditions.
The chart below provides a summary comparison of the FY 2019/20 final
budget versus actual revenues and expenses.

The General Fund performed well, with revenues exceeding budgetary
projections and expenditures having savings. In 2019/20, the City leveraged
one-time revenues to fund capital improvements, increase the Pension Trust
contribution, and contribute to the Economic Development Fund to establish
several Small Business Economic Relief Programs. The final budget, including
adjustments approved during FY 2019/20, is detailed in Exhibit A of this
report.
Operational revenues were approximately $2.9 million over budget and
expenses after adjustments, carryovers, and reserve savings were
$1,038,216 under budget resulting in a budget surplus of $3,880,348.
Stronger than expected revenues are credited to the quick adaptation by many
consumers and businesses to virtual interactions and safe physical distancing
practices, unprecedented monetary support by the Federal Reserve, and
multiple fiscal stimulus packages deployed.
REVENUE VARIANCES
As detailed in Exhibit B and summarized on the chart below, most General
Fund revenues experienced positive variances when compared to the final
budget. Two categories representing the largest variances included taxes and
use of money and property.
•Taxes represent 75% of all General Fund revenues and include the three
largest funding sources for the City – sales taxes $19,136,015, property
taxes $9,653,473, and transient occupancy taxes (TOT) $7,603,481.
Combined, these top three revenues account for $36,392,969 or 84%
of all taxes.

•Licenses and permits continued to perform well. COVID did not shut
down the building industry and in most instances allowed for the
acceleration of current projects.
•The Intergovernmental revenue variance is a result of not drawing down
$1,046,529 from Fire Service Reserves and $508,961 is for a pending
CSA 152 Assessment reimbursement which was billed but not received
in FY 2019/20. This reimbursement will be recognized in FY 2020/21.
•Use of Money and Property includes the annual fair market value
adjustment to the City’s investments. In FY 2019/20 the portfolio
holdings were valued greater than book value due to market conditions,
therefore a positive adjustment in the amount of $1,624,037 was
recorded. This amount has been reduced as an adjustment to revenues,
as it is not cash received nor anticipated to be received in the future.
The City’s investments have a five-year horizon with laddered
maturities. The City has worked diligently to leverage highly restricted
investments under volatile market conditions. At June 30, 2019, the
portfolio was earning a 2.04% rate of return and on June 30, 2020 the
return was 1.82%. Today the average investment purchases are
yielding about a 0.50% return. In addition, General Fund interest
earnings have increased after the passage of Measure G because the
portfolio investment balance has increased for multi-year capital
funding.
•Miscellaneous and Transfers In revenue includes $694,234 to record the
annual former Redevelopment Agency loan repayment interest earned
in FY 2019/20. The loan repayments are structured to pay all principal
first, then interest. Each year the City records the payment received and
interest earned in accordance with the State Department of Finance
approved loan repayment schedule. This amount is also reduced from
revenues as an adjustment because it is earned, but not received until
a future date.

EXPENSE VARIANCES
General Fund expenses are summarized on the following page by department,
and details by department and expense category are located in Exhibit C.
Overall, despite significant reductions to budgets during FY 2019/20, nearly
all departments remained within budget.
Savings were derived from the judicious management of contract and
professional services, postponing non-critical repairs and upgrades, and salary
and benefits savings from vacant and temporarily furloughed positions.

•The largest budget variance was reflected in Centralized Services (CS).
CS captures citywide expenses such as pension liabilities, retiree
medical benefits, and transfers out to other funds such as the Gas Tax
Fund for street improvements, Lighting and Landscape Fund, SilverRock
Golf Course Fund, Public Safety Fund, Economic Development Fund and
the Capital Improvement Project Fund. This department also has the
greatest carryovers to FY 2020/21 to fund multi-year capital
improvement projects as detailed in Exhibit D. The majority of capital
improvement carryover funding ($9,892,641 or 75%) is provided from
Measure G sales tax revenue.
In FY 2019/20 CS also included a non-cash expense of $327,338 to
record the disposal of 35 acres of SilverRock land held for resale. This
park land is now a capital asset under the Park and Equipment Fund of
the City and the non-cash transaction has been removed from the
summary chart on the preceding page and noted in Exhibit C.
•Total savings of $1,449,995 derived from Fire Services included
$490,723 for the fire station 70 revitalization project, which is being
carried over to FY 2020/21 and contract service savings of $673,358.
Carryovers totaling $609,723 also include vehicle equipment upgrades
and fire station 93 building improvements.
•Marketing savings of $285,512 were derived from postponed marketing
campaigns during the final quarter of the fiscal year. Of this amount,
$90,000 is being carried over to FY 2020/21 for commercial,
photography, and other marketing campaigns.
•Parks Maintenance savings of $197,701 were a result of postponed
maintenance services and supplies; of these savings, $59,000 is being
carried over to FY 2020/21 for irrigation and landscape improvements,
repairs, and painting of light posts.
•One department was over budget.
o Public Works Administration did not have a budget in FY 2019/20
because the department was not active prior to the Public
Works/Engineering reorganization, which occurred in February
2020. Salary and benefit expenses of $13,288 resulted from the
final payroll cycle of the FY.
77
Operational carryovers, detailed in Exhibit E, from FY 2019/20 to FY 2020/21
increased by $1,176,200 from the original anticipated amount of $602,600 to
$1,778,800. This increase is recommended because of the continued volatility
in reopening the economy, which impacts City operations. In addition,
carryovers allow for operational flexibility, recognize updated Federal
guidelines which disallow many previously allowed COVID-related
reimbursable expenses, and amended operational needs such as the
implementation of best practice recommendations from the Short-Term
Vacation Rental Committee.
Funds not being carried over are recognized as Unassigned Reserve Fund
balance in the General Fund. CIP revenue commitments are reflected in
assigned reserves and operational carryovers are noted in committed
reserves, both discussed next.

•Non-spendable balance decreased by a total of $2,196,483 and
included:
•The disposal of 35 acres of Land Held for Resale at SilverRock for
a total value of $327,338. This property is now recognized as a
City Park and home of the SilverRock Event Site.
The FY 2019/20 Redevelopment Agency loan repayment of $2,540,262
and interest earnings of $694,234 resulted in a decrease of
$1,846,028 in Due from Other Governments.
•The Due from Other Governments balance of $26,069,742
represents the principal ($15,662,342) and interest
($10,407,400) owed to the General Fund (80% of total loan
repayments). An additional 20% or $6,978,943 is recognized in
the Housing Authority Fund. The total outstanding loan balance as
of June 30, 2020 was $33,048,685. Non-spendable reserves
cannot be used to fund ongoing operations and primarily
represent commitments due to the General Fund.
•Restricted reserves are limited to funds held in a Section 115 Pension
Trust set aside to fund the City’s pension obligations. The trust was
initially established in FY 2018/19 with $6,540,000 and in FY 2019/20
an additional $3,460,000 was deposited. Coupled with investment
gains, resulted in an increase in total value to $3,709,738.
•Committed reserves decreased by $1,626,500. The increase of
$1,033,500 in operational carryovers is detailed in Exhibit E and is
lowering the Unassigned fund balance.
During the FY 2019/20 Mid-Year Budget Report, the Unassigned balance
was reduced by $5,000,000 and used to fund the following reserves:
•$1,540,000 for Capital Replacement Reserves
•$3,460,000 for the Pension Trust
In March 2020, the Council allocated $4,200,000 from the Economic
Disaster Reserve to cover anticipated COVID revenue shortfalls
($2,700,000) and established Small Business Economic Relief Programs
($1,500,000).
79
•An increase of $2,943,039 in assigned reserves was due to multi-year
capital improvement project funding ($1,301,982), which is also
lowering the Unassigned fund balance.
During FY 2019/20 the Measure G reserve allocation was $2,136,144 and
$1,121,900 was allocated from prior year Measure G reserves to increase the
funding for the SilverRock Event Site; resulting in an overall increase of
$1,014,244 to Measure G reserves.
The 2020/21 Mid-Year Budget Report will be presented in February 2021.
Usually the Mid-Year Budget Report includes funding options for Council to
consider placing a portion of unassigned reserves into Restricted or Committed
reserves which are not fully funded.
Staff will continue to monitor current economic impacts, local business
restrictions, and current operating expenses to determine if additional reserve
funding is recommended during the Mid-Year Budget Report.

YEAR-OVER-YEAR COMPARISON
In FY 2018/19, the City received total General Fund revenues of $62,668,834
and before March 2020 and COVID impacts, was on pace to exceed this
amount. The chart on the following page provides a year-over-year revenue
comparison.
Tax revenues include the top three revenue sources of the City; sales taxes,
property taxes, and transient occupancy taxes (TOT). Property taxes
experienced a gain of $300,792; while sales taxes and TOT declined by
$1,769,228 and $3,079,396 respectively.
In FY 2018/19 and FY 2019/20, the adjustment to the fair market value of
investments was $604,126 and $1,624,037 respectively. In FY 2019/20, the
RDA loan interest earnings of $694,234 were also reduced for this year-over-
year comparison. As discussed earlier these are non-cash transactions.
After these adjustments, the year-over-year revenue variance reflects a total
decline of $6,897,872.
General Fund Expenses and Carryovers for FY’s 2018/19 and 2019/20 are
compared in the chart below.

•Expenses were $1,087,977 or 2% less in FY 2019/20 when compared
to FY 2018/19, however, FY 2019/20 included several unanticipated
furloughs, unfilled vacant positions, and forced reductions to the
operating budget as a result of anticipated declines in revenues due to
COVID.
•The Measure G sales tax reserve allocation declined as a result of
reduced revenues and a year-over-year increase of $1,795,000 in the
allocation for police services. Details regarding Measure G revenues and
uses can be found in the Annual Measure G Sales Tax Report.
•Capital Improvement carryovers increased by $1,301,982 and represent
25 active capital projects detailed in Exhibit D of this Report. In FY
2018/19, there were 16 active projects.
•If approved, the amended Operational Carryovers would have a year-
over-year increase of $1,033,500. The adopted FY 2020/21 Budget has
minimal operational flexibility to accommodate additional requests for
unforeseen needs such as staffing shortfalls, updates to processes,
additional marketing efforts, or consulting services for fee studies. At
this time, based on current economic conditions, Finance does not
anticipate increasing revenues in FY 2020/21; therefore expense
adjustments in FY 2020/21 may be limited to these carryovers.

projects ($13,633,266), to establish Small Business Loan Programs ($1,500,000), and for

ANNUAL MEASURE G SALES TAX OVERSIGHT REPORT FOR
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020
PURPOSE
The Financial Advisory Commission (FAC) provides oversight of Measure G
sales tax revenues. This fourth Annual Measure G Sales Tax Oversight Report
covers the fiscal year July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020. This report also
provides a summary of the Measure G budget for the fiscal year ending June
30, 2021. Exhibit A includes a detailed recap of all Measure G activity.
This Report clearly shows the importance of Measure G revenues to the
current and future financial health of the City. The uses of these revenues
follow the City’s Sacred Values which focus on - Health and Wellness, High
Quality Aesthetics, a Vibrant and Safe Community, a Visually Beautiful City
and Cultural Diversity. Following these Sacred Values secures our City’s
standing as “The Gem of the Desert.”
REPORT HIGHLIGHTS
•Since inception, over $18
million or 45% of Measure
G funds have been
allocated to improving
citywide infrastructure and
public recreational
facilities.
•Public safety services are a
priority of La Quinta and
have been supported with
Measure G funds.
•Fiscally responsible
budgeting, prudent long-
term financial projections,
funds oversight, and
financial transparency have strengthened the City’s reserves since the
implementation of Measure G in April 2017.
•No Measure G funds have been used for Covid-19 related purposes. The
City’s strong fiscal health continues to allow the City to respond quickly
and effectively to Covid-19 related financial impacts to City operations,
and provides much needed support to local businesses.
ATTACHMENT 1

FISCAL YEAR 2019/20 REVENUES
Total Measure G sales tax revenues for fiscal year 2019/20 were $10,310,526.
As a result of the pandemic, this fiscal year ended with many unexpected
challenges and uncertainties. Abruptly in March 2020, mandatory Statewide
stay at home orders closed non-essential businesses, limited travel, restricted
working outside the home, closed hotels, and limited restaurants to take out
orders.
Stronger than anticipated fiscal year-end Measure G sales tax revenues are
primarily the result of both rising online sales with a better collection rate and
La Quinta residents and visitors continuing to support our local economy. With
the City’s financial support, businesses have pivoted operations by taking
advantage of extended outdoor Al Fresco Dining options and Small Business
Economic Relief Loans and Rebates.
REVENUES SINCE INCEPTION
The chart below summarizes Measure G revenues received from fiscal year
2016/17 to 2019/20 and budgeted revenues for 2020/21. Revenues received
in 2019/20 were lower than the previous year because of COVID-19 business
closures. Budgeted revenues for 2020/21 are subject to change as State
mandates are revised and expected seasonal local events are adjusted.
Additionally, the effects of unemployment continue to impact discretionary
travel and spending in our City.
FISCAL YEAR 2019/20 USES
The fiscal year 2019/20 operational expenses and capital improvements were
prioritized and budgeted prior to COVID with a prudent reserve allocation for Budgeted 96
operational flexibility. The impacts of COVID did not alter essential funding for
public safety or capital projects. By allocating some revenue to reserves, the
City was able to preserve and fully fund public safety and capital projects.
USES SINCE INCEPTION
Each year, in January, the City hosts a community workshop to either affirm
or determine the next year’s budget priorities. Staff then evaluates funding
options such as grants, interagency cost sharing, and use of reserves. Public
safety services have been a community priority since before Measure G, and
with the support of this additional revenue, the City has been able to maintain
the public safety service levels the community desires.
The chart below summarizes uses, since inception, of Measure G funds. The
majority ($18,487,732 or 45%) of these funds are for projects to improve
citywide infrastructure and public recreational facilities.
•Public Safety use shows the City’s continuing commitment to provide all
residents with a safe living environment.
•Infrastructure improvement projects have included numerous road
repairs, street striping projects, drainage improvements to avoid street
flooding, an investment in Highway 111 where since 2016 nearly 80%
of annual sales taxes are collected, an overhaul of landscape medians
north of Highway 111, and the design of updated corporate yard
administrative and crew quarters.

•Recreation projects have included funding for the new X-Park adjacent
to the La Quinta High School, the SilverRock event site, and the design
of a new future Village Art Plaza Promenade connected to the La Quinta
Museum.
•Measure G reserves reflect fiscal responsibility and allow for operational
flexibility by ensuring cash is available for public safety services and
capital improvement projects when these are most efficient to complete.
The chart below summarizes citywide infrastructure improvements and
recreational projects funded with Measure G revenues.
MEASURE G BACKGROUND AND COMPLIANCE SUMMARY
Voters passed Ballot Measure G in November 2016. Measure G provides a
permanent one percent transaction and use tax, effective April 1, 2017, which
is fully allocated to the City of La Quinta and protected from State takeaways.
All Measure G revenues shall be used in accordance with the ballot measure
for costs including police protection, projects such as parks, landscaping and
flood control, programs attracting businesses, youth/senior services, sports
recreation programs, and preserving property values and quality of life.
This report concludes all Measure G tax revenues are properly recorded and
are being used in accordance with the ballot measure.
Prior oversight reports and information on Measure G are located online at
https://www.laquintaca.gov/business/tax-measure. Questions regarding this
report or the use of Measure G funds may be directed to the Finance
Department by calling 760-777-7150 or by email at finance@laquintaca.gov.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: November 3, 2020
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: RECEIVE AND FILE FISCAL YEAR 2020/21 FIRST QUARTER
BUDGET REPORT
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file fiscal year 2020/21 First Quarter Budget Report.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•The Fiscal Year (FY) 2020/21 First Quarter Budget Report (Attachment 1)
provides an update of the City’s fiscal activities from July to September
2020.
•Quarterly, a budget report is prepared to assess the adopted budget and
incorporate adjustments based on current economic conditions and
operational requirements.
FISCAL IMPACT - None
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Throughout the fiscal year each Department monitors their budget and
proposes adjustments to reflect current conditions and ongoing operational
needs. Requests are reviewed and discussed before recommending approval.
This Report does not include budget adjustments. Recommended expense
adjustments have been incorporated in the Fiscal Year 2019/20 Year-End
Budget Report.
ALTERNTIVES
The Council may request additional information before approving the Report.
Prepared by: Karla Romero, Finance Director
Approved by: Jon McMillen, City Manager

BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 4

Fiscal Year 2020/21 First Quarter Budget Report
The 2020/21 General Fund Budget was adopted on June 16, 2020 with a
budget surplus of $9,200, and as a living document the budget allows for
flexibility to accommodate business needs. Quarterly budget reports are
presented to provide ongoing oversight of public funds, relate current and
upcoming activities, and request funding adjustments.
Due to ongoing economic volatility, this FY 2020/21 First Quarter Budget
Report (Report) focused on the General Fund does not recommended any
adjustments. The outlook for economic activity is largely dependent on the
course of the pandemic and to some degree election results, the amount of
additional fiscal relief from the government, and the timeline for a vaccine. All
variables are outside of the City’s control, therefore, Staff believes the best
approach is to continue to monitor the economic environment and business
trends before recommending any possible changes.
REVENUES
Two of the City’s top three revenues sources, (sales and transient occupancy
taxes) have thus far been performing better than anticipated during the first
quarter of the fiscal year. Property taxes, the third revenue source is
anticipated to be within budget by year-end. However, with large events being
cancelled in the Spring of 2021 and a temporary closure of the La Quinta
Resort, this past summer, it is too soon to tell if adjustments will be needed.
Revenue adjustments at Mid-Year may be limited to unanticipated revenues
received, such as CARES Act funds.
EXPENSES
As noted in the FY 2019/20 General Fund Year-End Budget Report, increased
carryovers from expense savings were recommended because of the
continued volatility in reopening the economy, which impacts City operations.
In addition, those carryovers allow for operational flexibility, recognize
updated Federal guidelines which disallow many previously allowed COVID-
related reimbursable expenses, and account for amended operational needs
such as the implementation of best-practice recommendations from the Short-
Term Vacation Rental Committee (Committee).
With these carryovers approved, Staff does not anticipate any further
amendments to expenses during FY 2020/21; unless there are major
operational changes implemented from Committee recommendations or
unanticipated unfunded State mandates due to the ongoing pandemic.
ATTACHEMENT 1
103
Staff will continue to monitor current economic impacts, local business
restrictions, larger local events, the tourism market, and current operating
expenses. These economic conditions will determine if revenue or expense
adjustments are warranted during the FY 2020/21 Mid-Year Budget Report
which will be presented in February 2021.

Revenue
•Sales tax has shown some strength over the summer, boosted by online sales and to some degree payments related to Q1 and Q2 sales
•TOT is up over LY in STVR, but hotels are down; we anticipate STVR may continue to outpace projections until Spring when scheduled festivals and events were to occur
•Staff is diligently monitoring trends and may adjust projections based on actual revenues received and calculated impacts of Spring cancellations for the Mid-Year and Third Quarter Budget Reports
Expenditures
•City Departments appropriately adjusted spending in response to the pandemic at the end of FY 2019/20, and despite budget adjustments still realized savings which were available to be carried over into 2020/21
•Carryovers will enable departments to react to continually changing events and operational needs
•Since staff does not currently anticipate revenue increases, carryovers may be the only opportunity for expenditure changes this fiscal year

EXTERNAL: This message originated outside of the City of La Quinta. Please use proper judgement and caution when opening

As a homeowner in La Quinta, I ask that the City Council members schedule a meeting and commence dialog with a
group representing owners of homes in PGA West who short term rent responsibly.
The Council has met with HOA representatives who largely represent owners who are against short term rentals. Given
the impact that short term rentals have on the City budgets and the economic vitality of the City and local area, I believe
it is in the interest of and the responsibility of the Council to listen to all constituencies.

Dear Council,
We respectfully request that you meet with, and listen carefully, to those who represent STVRs
in La Quinta.
I do not have a dog in this fight, but do have experience with cities that may want to limit,
restrict, or ban STVRs.
Any restriction is A really bad idea for the City of La Quinta, and your legacy with the city and
future, will be, we believe, forever tarnished if you do not listen to those who have increased
tourism and lifted home values with STVRs.
This years' noise is due to Covid, therefore regulate the noise and solve the problem.
Those who represent SVRs want the City to lift the moratorium.
Cities who enable restrictions of STVRs send a message worldwide "We do not like tourists"
How much money will be lost when La Quinta does not have young and old tourists?
Today's renters are tomorrow's buyers.
When property values fall 25% due to lack of buyers, how will your friends, family and heirs
feel?

Subject: STVR and request for city to formally meet with the PGA West Coalition
Hi City of La Quinta,
As a homeowner in PGA West, I am requesting for city to:
1.Formally meet with the PGA West Coalition (led by Eddy Estrada) as you seek a pragmatic approach
that supports both homeowners holistically along with supporting a significant source revenue for the
City of La Quinta.
2.Remove the current moratorium on STVR licenses. This does nothing to solve the issue of small
proportion of properties that are causing most of the complaints. Additionally, this hurts current
homeowners in need of alternative revenue options due to COVID.
Eliminating STVRs will have a dramatic impact in City of La Quinta:
Reduction in local property values. Resort/vacation communities have experienced 15‐20% reductions
in value versus rest of market.
Devastating to local service businesses. We will lose restaurants and other service businesses.
Income loss to the public golf courses as most renters come to play golf.
Loss of over significant (millions) in TOT and sales taxes paid by renters; these taxes fund critical local
services and keep our community vibrant ‐ especially in the current COVID downturn
Erosion of your property rights. All homeowners purchased with the assumption and belief with the
right to rent.
The win‐win answer to ensure quiet enjoyment is a strong consistent enforcement (funded by STVRs tax
revenue), requiring noise monitoring systems, and clear communications to renters, owners, and neighbors.
Let's not hurt the whole community due to a minority of properties that are bad apples. There are
significantly more STVRs trying to do the right thing; support the vibrant and tourism friendly nature of La
Quinta, while also bringing in TOT tax revenue for the city.
Thank you,

Hi,

out to request that the city council meet with our STVR group formed to voice our concerns over

Like to request that council meets with our group...
STVR are essential to the economy and housing values of the valley and efforts to ban them are
one sided and dangerous.
I rent my personal residence at PGA West and have Royale Vacation Rental manage it Have
never had a complaint, citation or fine...and know some of the renters now own homes in the
valley.

I would like to voice my support for short term vacation rentals.
While a few bad apples may be inconveniencing some neighbors, I believe that short term vacation rentals can be
managed so that everybody wins and our community continues to welcome guests and support/ boost our struggling
economy.
Please meet with the group that wants to voice their concerns about the unfair move to eliminate short‐term vacation
rentals. It is only fair & imperative that everyone has a voice in the decisions being made ...as we all have a vested

Thank you for accepting my comments as I am unable to attend todays council meeting due to work obligations.
First, I would like to introduce myself, my name is Justin Mckindley and I own within PGA West for the past 4 years. I
was drawn to the area due to plethora golf and additional amenities provided within La Quinta. I currently utilize my
home for both personal\family enjoyment and as a STR when I am not utilizing the home. I, as many of my direct
neighbors own our properties as second homes since we are still employed or split our time seasonally. During these
trying times of Covid, coupled with the events of the economy being able to utilize my home as a STR truly helped defray
the cost of ownership and sustain.
I take great pride in my home and the community of PGA West. In addition, I am always concerned with my neighbor’s
enjoyment which is why I keep in contact with them whether my home is rented to address any concerns\comments or I
am in town and enjoying a good conversation over coffee with them since this is the essence of a community. I don’t
deny that there are bad actors out there that bring a bad name to the whole. But updating policy, how it is enforced,
training the owners and agents, updating how the renters are informed of the rules, and additional progressive ideas are
how we continue to improve the process to root out the bad actors and while ensuring peace and enjoyment for the
whole
The council discuss wanting to hear both sides of the story to help create an informed opinion regarding STRs within the
city. I am formally requesting that city council members please find time in their schedule to meeting with the PGA
West Vacation Home Owners. This meeting is to both discuss initiatives we are wanting to partner with both the PGA
West HOA and the city to ensure we are part of the process of improvement. But please do not move the goal line on
the average joe too far that we are watching from the sideline.
Sincerely,
Justin McKindley

PUBLIC COMMENT
PGA WEST STVR COALITION OF RESPONSIBLE RENTERS

Dear Mayor and City Council,
In addition to the comments that will be made by Eddy Estrada at today's Council Meeting, I am outlining additional
details of our Coalition efforts.
We are a Coalition of PGA West Owners and STVR Supporters‐ 200 strong ‐ that meet multiple times per week to
understand and address issues related to short term rentals in our community. Through outreach efforts we have added
even more members who are not STVR operators, but those in the community that support Responsible Renting.
Progress since the Last Council Meeting:
1.We are putting the final touches on a Coalition agreed set of STVR rules which are more comprehensive than
what the City and HOA allow. These rules address what we believe to be the primary obstacles to achieve
balance between short term renters and residents:
o Occupancy & Day Guests
o Noise
o Minimum nights
o Vehicles
o Trash
o Trespassing on the Golf Course
o Local Management
2.On Nov 1 we launched an initiative to self‐police and patrol our own STVR properties. This effort will not involve
resources from PGA West Security or City Compliance. Our patrols will begin November 5th.
3.Through outreach and education we were able to assist many STVR owners with documentation and best
practice they can use in their short term rental to reinforce our rules and regulations. We found many owners
were not aware of some very basic STVR rules.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING - NOVEMBER 3, 2020 - PUBLIC COMMENTS

Obstacles preventing us from moving faster to implementing solutions;
1.We need more specific data regarding complaints and citations to address the most immediate problems and
prioritize our efforts and resources. We don't know where the worst offenders reside. The Coalition wants to
address those homes immediately.
2.We need 2‐way communication and transparency with the STVR Ad hoc committee ‐ and access to the data they
have as it pertains to PGA West. Having a member of our team on the Adhoc Committee, as PGA West is such a
"hot‐spot", will benefit everyone.
3.There is a perception that if the rules are being broken it must be an STVR guest (example, trespassing on the
golf course or putting garbage on the street). In a short poll last week we found equal amount of citations were
given to owners as short term rentals. We would like to formally validate the data so we can address our
community as a whole.
We are requesting a meeting, similar to the meeting held with Neighbors‐4‐Neighborhoods, with the council and STVR
Ad hoc committee at your soonest convenience so that we can update you further on our goals and progress.

Hello City of La Quinta,
As a homeowner in PGA West, I am requesting for the city to meet with the PGA West Coalition to find a
compromise and address problems by both pro and anti STVR advocates. STVRs provide a vital part of La Quinta's
economy, contributing millions annually to the city's general fund. Eliminating STVRs will have a huge impact
on local property values, local services, and public golf courses. We look forward to the City Council considering
our proposal in the near future.

To the Mayor and City Council,
My name is James Alderson and my wife and I have lived as residents of La Quinta at since
2006. I am writing to express the views of a La Quinta resident homeowner..
The vast majority of La Quinta residents own one home, and in most cases it is the largest asset they have. A lifetime
of hard work enabled them to purchase a home in La Quinta and retire.
The STR owners seem to have a common theme. They want to own a vacation home in La Quinta but they cannot
afford it. Or they see a great investment opportunity to rent a house out to 12-16 people at well over $1,000 per night. So
they buy a house in La Quinta.
Today's Desert Sun editorial page had a guest columnist from Ranch Mirage, which I feel sums up the feelings of
virtually every La Quinta resident who lives here and owns one house. I quote from the last paragraph.
"If owners can't afford a second home unless it operates as unsupervised, incompatible mini-motel, they may
want to reconsider their investment priorities. Our neighborhoods are not their personal cash registers."
All the La Quinta residents, including the many of us who live in HOAs, need you to protect us. Other cities have done
this and now it is La Quinta's turn to step up to the plate and address the concerns of its citizens, not just of its out of
town investors.
Thank You,
James Alderson

PUBLIC COMMENT ON MATTERS NOT ON THE AGENDA - IN OPPOSITION OF STVRS
November 3rd, 2020
Dear La Quinta City Council,
I was at my brother’s house out on the coast several months ago with a very large group of family and it was
super loud with music blaring and kids running in and out of the water, playing in the sand, jumping in and out
of the hot tub and given the situation here I said, “I feel sorry for your neighbors”.
My brother said, “Why?”
I said, “Because we are so loud, and they are just two old people”.
He said, “This doesn’t go on all the time around here. It’s the fourth of July. Kerry and I work. My kids are in
sports, working and at community activities most of the time and besides…my neighbors love us. I was just
over there this morning. They always have work being done and Kerry goes over and gives their workers
lunch. Plus, she gives them all kinds of stuff to entertain their granddaughter when she comes for extended
stays. They love us.”
STVR proponents would have you believe crabby old people hate the sound of children playing in a pool. I
would think they do. Twelve hours a day, into the night, all year long, without a single break. It is that heavy
usage of a home that is inconsistent with residential community norms coupled with the void of neighbor to
neighbor reciprocity.
When I moved into my home, my only neighbor stopped by and introduced herself and we exchanged
numbers with a promise of getting together. We never got the opportunity and didn’t speak until four months
later when she came over to give me a tin of cookies for Christmas. I then left for a party in Los Angeles.
Late that night I went to charge my phone and saw I had a missed text. It was my neighbor. It said, “Marcie,
are you alright? I am worried about you. Did you fall asleep? Your garage door is open, and the light is on.
In a state of panic, I pushed the phone icon and she answered before the first ring finished. I said “OH MY
GOD, THANK GOD YOU ANSWERED. I don’t know a soul who would have their ringer turned on at this time of
night. And she said, “I wouldn’t either but went to sleep with it by my head because I was so worried about
you. She went to great lengths to take care of it for me. I cannot tell you the hardship that would have put on
me if I did not have that neighbor.
I have been wondering when she will be bought out by an investor. The home on the other side of her sold for
100 to 150k over comps because it had an STVR license that advertised they slept 17. That is how people like
me are being pushed out of this community. Soon there will soon be no middle class to speak of.
We will be living in a two‐caste society, the haves and the have nots. Those with two, three and four homes
and those that clean their toilets. But the people who clean their toilets won’t be living here. I know because I
barely made it in myself as every home here was being advertised across the valley and now the whole nation,
as the STVR investors dream.
Please stop trading our neighbors for TOT. It isn’t worth it.
Sincerely,
Marcia L Cutchin

CITY COUNCIL MEETING - NOVEMBER 3, 2020 - PUBLIC COMMENTS BY RESIDENT MARCIA CUTCHIN
PUBLIC COMMENT ON MATTERS NOT ON THE AGENDA - IN OPPOSITION OF STVRS
Arlene Gotshalk
La Quinta, CA
City Council Members,
Many people have justifiably presented the damaging effects STVRs. They have shared
heartbreaking, toxic personal experiences about being a neighbor to a VR. They have suffered
ongoing amplified noise, fireworks, trash, traffic, personal insults, threats, and harassment,
while response time to complaints is extremely slow or non-existent.
What I have not heard being discussed is that STVRs, being mini hotels, are not held the same
standard as hotels. They are a liability waiting to happen:
• They do not have mandated ADA accessibility
• They are not required to follow the same health regulations as hotels.
Additionally, STVRs do not take into consideration the safety and wellness of the residents in
the neighborhood.
• I was living ½ a block away from the party and shooting on Cortez near Chillon last year.
Violence could have spilled out of the rental into the neighborhood. If the party had
been stopped, a death could have been prevented.
• There are no background checks on customers coming to these mini hotels
• Sex offenders are not required to report to local law enforcement so that the intent of
Meagan’s Law is not enforced
• When residents do not know who is staying next door to them, they have to be
constantly vigilant in order to protect their families from predation or violence.
• Residents should not have to be first responders to these problems.
Whole house STVRS also violate the spirit of Home Occupations Ordinances and are not held to
regulations that were created to ensure businesses in the Cove are compatible with the
neighborhood. Vacation Rentals, a business
• Are not owner occupied
• Are not incidental or an accessory
• Have customers coming all day and night
The lead premise of the Ad Hoc STVR Committee states: It is seeking a balance between
residential quality of life and property owners that host STVRs. With the rapidly expanding
numbers STVRs, this statement is a wish, based on a FALSE PREMISE, and is impossible to
achieve.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING - NOVEMBER 3, 2020 - PUBLIC COMMENTS BY RESIDENT ARLENE GOTSHALK
PUBLIC COMMENT ON MATTERS NOT ON THE AGENDA - IN OPPOSITION OF STVRS
STVR's owners are not hosting guests - rather they are running a mini hotel business in a
Residential District. They are not are not part of the Neighborhood. They undermine and erode
the quality of life for residents. With the exploding number is VRs in the Cove, 2528% increase
of STVR licenses since January 2019, there can be no balance between residential quality of life
and STVRs.
Districts that do not have HOAs are dependent on City Council to protect them. The City Council
has a legal and moral responsibility to take care of these districts.
We implore you to be an informed and responsible decision-maker and defend us, the
residents.
I ask City Council to protect the LQ residents in the Cove. Please ban whole house STVRs in the
La Quinta Cove District.
Thank you,
Arlene Gotshalk

Thank you for your email(s), and for attached the statement by Jim at today’s upcoming meeting.
I understand the challenges and disruptions that some STVRs are causing at PGA West and other areas of the city.
We met with your HOA Presidents a few weeks ago to discuss what you/PGA West wants and how they need the cities
help to get there based on your CC&Rs.
Please know that we value our full time residents and want to ensure quality of life.
STVRs have changed that for some.
We want solutions that can address the problem STVR owners/renters, not penalize the compliant ones, and keep our
neighborhoods happy.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It’s greatly appreciated.

Please take the time to read and listen to Jim Lambert's letter re: the above subject and its affect on PGA
West. STVR’s are absolutely ruining our beautiful community. Get past the TOT and do something to
help full time LQ residents. Vote to limit future STVRs to no less than 30 days.
Thank you,

The moratorium on new permits must be made permanent and eliminating
rentals less than 2 weeks, ideally 28 days should be enacted.

PUBLIC COMMENT ON MATTERS NOT ON THE AGENDA - IN SUPPORT OF STVRS
To whom it may concern,
My name is Stephanie Nevels‐Yanchar and I reside at , La Quinta in Pga West. I
spoke at the last meeting and at recent meetings at Pga. I expressed how diligent I am with
communicating the rules to my guest. I raised the concern of being responsible for the actions
of others and how it can be difficult no matter what efforts are made. This weekend I rented to
a fellow host. I followed my usual procedures of sending out the community rules, regulations
and city ordinance. Of all of the people that I would expect to be in violation of any rules would
be a fellow Airbnb host. My point is that no matter how hard we try to be responsible host and
follow the rules to respect our community, there are some people that just won’t follow the
rules. I made contact with my guest when my neighbor expressed concern and after a fair
amount of warning from the security team, I found out today that a citation was given. I have
contacted Airbnb to make them aware of the situation, because I don’t want another host to
deal with people not willing to follow the rules. With this said, I am and have been targeted by
non‐stvr neighbors to the level of harassment. This is infringing on my rights as a homeowner as
well. Rules such as no music outside (even at a moderate respectable level) seems extreme and
gives non‐stvr another target for complaint. My hope is that there will be reasonable and fair
rules for everyone. I’m doing my best and I don’t like feeling that my home is being policed by
neighbors to end our license or harass us and guest enough to make us move. I am more than
happy to speak to anyone of you regarding this. I want to be a part of the solution, not
problem.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Nevels‐Yanchar

Good morning.
I am an owner of a condo at PGA West who has enjoyed the valley for the past six years and have shared our place with
renters when we are not in the valley. Many families, retired couples and families of residents needing extra space
have used our place without incident to our neighbors. We have always promoted communication with our fellow
residents and have advocated for a strong relationship based on open communication and mutual respect creating a
harmonious balance that brings prosperity and visibility to the valley and allows us to spend time cycling, hiking and
golfing ourselves when time permits.
I understand there are some strong advocacy to remove short term rentals and we would like to work with all the
stakeholders to find common ground. We are part of the recently formed Short Term Rental Owners group at PGA west
who have formed a coalition to work with the city, community and residents and would ask that the city add members
from our group to the existing STVR working groups and to allow us a voice to be considered at council meetings.
We are eager to be part of the solution and create a La Quinta that is inclusive, vibrant and inviting.
Regards,
Gord Wegreniuk
