PUBLIC SPEAKER IN-PERSON: Alena Callimanis, La Quinta – spoke of the
drought in California state, and more particularly in La Quinta; said the water
assessment for the proposed The Wave project (Coral Mountain Surf Park) was
completed in 2019 by MSA Consulting, Inc. and there are some significant issues
with the estimated evaporation levels; noted the developer’s existing Kelly Slater
Surf Ranch Lemoore park, also in California, utilized existing bodies of water as
it was originally an abandoned water skiing park, and did not utilize drinking
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 3 of 12 JUNE 1, 2021
water as The Wave project would; provided as a comparison the WADI Adventure
park in the desert in the United Arab Emirates; spoke of the anticipated water
shortage of the Colorado River supply; said golf courses can reduce water usage
by reducing or stopping watering and using recycled water, where a surf park
cannot reduce water usage; and encouraged the City’s leadership not to ignore
the anticipated drought, to support preservation of drinking water, and noted
that a surf park is not an appropriate development under the current conditions.

BUSINESS SESSION

RIVERSIDE TO PROVIDE FIRE PROTECTION, FIRE PREVENTION,
RESCUE, FIRE MARSHAL AND MEDICAL EMERGENCY SERVICES;
AND APPROVE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITIES
OF INDIO, LA QUINTA, COACHELLA, AND THE COUNTY OF
RIVERSIDE TO SHARE THE COST OF A LADDER TRUCK COMPANY
Public Safety Manager Mendez presented the staff report, which is on file in the
Clerk’s Office.
Council discussed that Emergency Management Department (EMD) service fees
were no longer included in the agreement with Riverside County Fire Department
(RCFD) for fire services, and inquired about prior years’ EMD fees and services.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 6 of 12 JUNE 1, 2021
RCFD La Quinta Fire Chief Fish explained that EMD services were once
incorporated into the county’s former Office of Emergency Services (OES) fire
services, which has since been separated into a distinct EMD services entity;
initially EMD related services remained in the fire services agreement as the
RCFD was the mechanism for collecting EMD pass-through fees from member
agencies, which were now being removed effective fiscal year 2021/22; other
cities are also being charged EMD service fees; RCFD is not able to provide
details as to what EMD services consist of; and if the City elects to contract for
EMD services, a separate contract would need to be executed directly with EMD.
Council directed staff to determine whether EMD has provided services to the
City and if related fees have been played.
Chief Fish said there was a minor dispute with the vendor constructing the new
fire ladder truck, which has been resolved; construction of the truck is moving
forward, and delivery is anticipated for June 2022; and the remodel and
revitalization of Fire Station No. 70 is moving along, and operations are currently
stationed at Fire Station No. 32, however, RCFD responds with the closest unit
available, regardless of boundaries.
Chief Fish thanked the Council and the City for the long-standing contractual
collaboration; Council thanked RCFD for the exemplary service provided to the
community and for the RCFD’s collaboration with the City on the fire services
study.
MOTION – A motion was made and seconded by Councilmembers
Fitzpatrick/Sanchez to:
A. Approve a Cooperative Agreement with the County of Riverside to provide
fire protection, fire prevention, rescue, fire marshal, and medical
emergency services; and authorize the City Manager to execute the
agreement.
B. Approve a Cooperative Agreement between the Cities of Indio, La Quinta,
Coachella, and the County of Riverside to share the cost of a ladder truck
company; and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.
Motion passed unanimously.

organization; the majority of student athletes participants are La Quinta
residents; all participants in the current high-school camp session are La Quinta

provides kids with quality athletic training at affordable costs, promotes physical
fitness, and gives them the support and assistant needed to improve their skills
and help them advance both academically and athletically; and explained the
recent expansion of the camp program due to COVID-19.
Council discussed other park facilities in the City that might be better suited to
accommodate the organization; and recruitment efforts include social media,
newsletters through the school districts, banners throughout the Coachella
Valley, and collaboration with other youth organizations, such as PDLQ, to help
create an awareness of the program.
PUBLIC SPEAKER IN-PERSON: Bobbie Gold, Center Director with Gold RiteCare
Childhood Language Center – thanked Council for their support; said services

speech assignments following the session; and the organization plans on re-
opening for in-person sessions as of July 1, 2021.

to $5,000.

Public Works Director/City Engineer McKinney presented the staff report, which
is on file in the Clerk’s Office.
Council discussed the operational assumption in the proposed fiscal year
2021/22 Plan is a bit conservative.
PUBLIC SPEAKER IN-PERSON: Randy Duncan, General Manager with Landmark
Golf Management, LLC for SilverRock golf course – said the Plan was prepared
in April and assumptions related to resuming operational activities were
conservative due to current COVID-19 restrictions, which are anticipated to be
lifted on June 15, 2021 in anticipation of the release of updated safety
guidelines; residents are primarily requesting individual golf carts while playing
golf; family members are allowed to share a golf cart; the Plan projects a 5%
reduction in operational activity due to the anticipated construction of the
SilverRock project; the increase in annual operational costs is due to state
mandated increase in minimum wage, increased cost associated with water,
seeding, and fuel, and the resuming of the 2% Capital Reserve; loss of golf
events due to the ongoing construction; challenges with acquiring maintenance
and front line work-force; outreach efforts to local youth, and youths of 17 years
