Subject: Sports Complex Lease/Boys and Girls Club
Dear Mr. Lively:
The City of La Quinta and the Boys & Girls Club of Coachella Valley (BGC) have entered into
a lease agreement in which the city will lease approximately 3.1 acres to the BGC immediately
adjacent to the Truman/Adams/Middle School complex. BGC desires to construct two buildings,
a swimming pool, parking facilities and a play area/retention basin on the subject site. In
addition to facilities proposed by BGC, the City will expend approximately $60,000 to widen
Park Street from the current 32-foot width to 40 feet between curbs to provide space for a left -
turn lane in the center of the street. Other street related improvements to be installed by the city
will include upgrading the traffic signal at the Park Street/Avenue 50 intersection to provide a
protected left -turn phase in the signal cycle. Also street drainage on Park Street will be
improved by draining storm water into -the new retention basin on the BGC site. The street
widening, drainage, and signal upgrade improvements should greatly reduce congestion on Park
Street and the intersection.
During preparation of the site boundary exhibit for the lease agreement, city staff discovered that
the westerly 44 feet of the proposed lease site is the westerly side of the vacated Adams Street
right-of-way and is owned by the school district. It was further learned however, that the City
leases the vacated right-of-way (legally described as Lot B on Parcel Map 20862 and shown as
Lot B on the enclosed Exhibit C) from the school district, via the Sports Complex lease.
Section 7 of the Sports Complex lease states the city has the right to utilize the vacated right-of-
way for park development and to construct improvements thereon provided no existing facilities,
such as sidewalks and drainage improvements may be modified unless prior written consent is
received from the school district. Section 7 also states the vacated right-of-way cannot be used
for park site drainage without prior written consent.

The pool house, swimming pool, and play yard/retention basin proposed by BGC encroach into
the subject vacated right-of-way (see enclosed drawings). BGC also proposes to remove the
existing sidewalk and realign the drainage pipe that lies underneath the sidewalk. As a result
of the proposed improvements in Lot B and the requirements of Section 7, the city desires to
receive your written consent to make these improvements.
BGC intends to build their facilities in two phases. The first phase includes the main facility
(Building A), parking facilities and the play yard/retention basin. The second phase will include
the pool house and swimming pool. BGC is anxious to get started with Phase I construction.
To accommodate their schedule, will the School District please review the enclosed
documents and respond by September 7st with your consent to sublease the vacated right-of-
way and permit the proposed improvements to be constructed therein.
If you have questions regarding this matter, please call.
Sincerely,
CITY OF LA QUINTA
