1997 06 25 CC Minutes/ LA QUINTA CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SPECIAL MEETING JUNE25, 1997 Special meeting of the La Quinta City Council was called to order at the hour of 2:00 PM by Mayor Holt, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. PRESENT: Council Members Adolph, Henderson, Perkins, Sniff, Mayor Holt ABSENT: None PUBLIC COMMENT None CONFIRMATION OF AGENDA None BUSINESS SESSION 1. CONSIDERATION OF FISCAL YEAR 1997198 BUDGET FOR THE CITY OF LA QUINTA, LA QUINTA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND LA QUINTA FINANCING AUTHORITY. Mr. Genovese, City Manager, advised that on June 1 8, 1 997, the Council reviewed the FY 97/98 budget along with memoranda from staff. In an effort to assist the Council in eliminating the deficit, staff has provided several alternative reduction scenarios. The reductions presented are consistent with the points of discussion in the previous budget review of June 11, 1 997, with the exception of a payment for the lease of a dump-truck, which after further review, it was found to be unnecessary as the truck has been paid for. That will reduce the deficit by $9,000. He then reviewed each of the alternatives presented by staff. In response to Council Member Adolph, Mr. Genovese advised that the Business Resource Center requested in the Chamber's 97/98 request amounts to $16,000. Council Member Adolph referred to the newspaper's reporting of the last budget session and noted that the Council was never discussing elimination of bus stop BIB] 07-30-1997-U01 10:42:47AM-U01 ADMIN-U01 CCMIN-U02 06-U02 25-U02 1997-U02 /City Council Minutes 2 June 25, 1 997 shade structures--only the specially designed structure, which he felt has an exorbitant price attached. He advised that SunLine will install the standard shade structure and stub in for water and install telephones and trash receptacles at no cost. If sometime down the line, the City wishes to add architectural treatments, then that can be done. Therefore, he felt that the Council can eliminate $203,000 from the budget immediately and not deprive the residents of shade structures at the bus stops. Council Member Henderson then proceeded to review her written proposal for reducing the deficit copy on file in the City Clerk's Office) and asked for Council's consideration of same. She advised that she feels very strongly about the enhanced bus stops being important to the economic development of this community and the need to have the Highway 111 corridor be the showcase for La Quinta. However, based on the deficit, she recommended that only four of them be funded this year at a cost of $100,000. She also felt strongly about the monument signs, but felt that they could be done in phases with the artwork/lighting being done next year. She suggested that the Palm Desert Post Page be funded for six months and be looked at again at mid-year. She also suggested that travel for commissioners be reduced as well as reducing the Chamber contract to $121,200. Regarding the Chamber contract, she questioned the $4,500 for the Mayor's Lunch, noting that everyone pays to attend and suggested cutting the newsletter from 1 6 pages to 8, saving $21 000. Regarding the newsletter, she also suggested including the Parks & Recreation Brochure with it three times a year. She also suggested eliminating the $1 6,000 for the Business Resource Center. She suggested reducing the Special Projects Contingency fund to $25,000, but adding $9,250 which would be allocated to the schools for disbursement, including $1 250 which was budgeted for the New Leaf Award Program. She supported elimination of funding for the Skins Game advertising and video. Finally, she suggested that the AB939 funds not be committed to SCRAP1 but to leave the Council some options to consider other programs that might be available. Council Member Sniff felt that the City is fortunate to have the Chamber of Commerce we have, that they do an excellent job and felt that their contract should be supported, that it's comprehensive and diverse. He then reviewed his proposals for eliminating the deficit, suggesting that the bus stops and Skins Game/video be deleted and reducing the Phase VI Fund to $100,000 and reducing the Palm Desert Post page to every other week, a savings of $1 3,100. Under this scenario, there will be a surplus of $25,925. Council Member Adolph stated that he likes to keep things simple and not deal with nickels and dimes. He felt that Council Member Sniff's suggestions were well taken, except that he had a problem with borrowing from the Phase VI set- BIB] 07-30-1997-U01 10:42:47AM-U01 ADMIN-U01 CCMIN-U02 06-U02 25-U02 1997-U02 / City Council Minutes 3 June 25, 1997 aside fund. However, he felt that as funds come in throughout the year, this fund could be replenished and hopefully by the end of the fiscal year, it will be back to $200,000. Council Member Sniff agreed and suggested that perhaps we won't need to reduce it to $100,000. He also assumed that this fund would accrue interest in the same way the Community Services fund did. Council Member Perkins disagreed with the former comments as he felt that the time has come to take a hard look at the Chamber of Commerce because the City is now being asked to fund more than 50% of their total budget. We're talking about borrowing from an infrastructure fund to balance the budget, which he strongly objected to--the budget should be balanced with the funds available. Regarding the bus stops, he stated that Highway 111 is the most important corridor anywhere in the Coachella Valley. Indian Wells is installing sidewalks and enhanced bus stops on both sides of Highway 111. He didn't think we want to see the same bus stops in La Quinta that SunLine is putting up all over the valley. We need something outstanding that will reflect the manner in which we want to see Highway 111 developed. We're at a point where we're running out of money and we have to decide who comes first. He felt that the citizens do and they deserve nice sun shelters at the bus stops pointing out that the ones SunLine puts in allow for a limited amount of shade. Regarding the Palm Desert Post, he was opposed to doing it bi-weekly as we have been trying to respond to the residents cry for more information. He didn't agree that simplicity in looking at a budget is the best thing--you need to look at the details and decide where to make the cuts. He appreciated the work that everyone has done on the budget. In response to Mayor Holt, Mr. Genovese stated that staff believes that the roof replacement fund for the Senior Center is important to make sure that funding is available when needed. Regarding travel for commission members, he advised that normally only a few commissioners want to attend the annual conferences, but last year they all wanted to go, so the Council funded additional monies, thus the funding in the 97/98 budget is for all of the Planning Commissioners and Historic Preservation Commissioners. Mayor Holt commented that if not all Council Members are budgeted to attend conferences why budget for all the PC and HPC Members to go. She then asked for more information on the Business Resource Center proposed by the Chamber of Commerce. Michelle Dallas, President/CEO of the La Quinta Chamber of Commerce, advised that based on their research, they have found that the needs of the small BIB] 07-30-1997-U01 10:42:47AM-U01 ADMIN-U01 CCMIN-U02 06-U02 25-U02 1997-U02 /City Council Minutes 4 June 25, 1 997 businesses are increasing and have not been addressed. La Quinta has about 375 home businesses. They would like to utilize a facility for meetings and to use commercial sized equipment. The Chamber's problem is trying to staff it from 9 am to 5 p.m.. Council Member Henderson felt that this type of facility would be great to have, and believes that there are a number of small businesses that would like to use a facility like this. However, small businesses make the choice of being a small business and operating out of their home. To have this kind of facility that the City would be funding and making available seems a little lopsided in that the larger businesses make the capital outlay for these kinds of equipment and she also noted that there are a number of businesses that are providing this kind of service to the small businesses. Ms. Dallas advised that their intention is not to compete with existing businesses. She noted that they have not completely decided where the equipment would come from, that they have discussed having one of their members provide some of the equipment and receive a rebate on it. Mayor Holt didn't agree with reducing the Palm Desert Post page because it's the only tool we have to get current information to the residents immediately. She loves the Recreation brochure and would not like to see that eliminated and combined with the newsletter. If she were to make any reduction in the Chamber at all, it would be to reduce the newsletter by two editions. Regarding the bus shelters, her main concern was shade and if SunLine is willing to do it at no cost to the City then she would rather see the monument signs funded. She supported the Skins Game advertising, but felt that it's luxury the City can't afford at this time. She supported the funding for Phase VI improvements, but didn't see how the entire $200,000 could be funded this year. She supported the suggestions of Council Member Henderson regarding the schools contribution and felt that it could even be pared down. She suggested not giving an equal amount to all the schools, as she felt that the High School has more needs and their needs are more costly. Council Member Henderson referred to the infrastructure funds and felt that when those funds were set aside that it was for generic purposes and didn't believe that it was necessarily designated for Phase VI. Mayor Holt agreed that it was left generic. Council Member Sniff suggested doing one of the monument signs this year and the other next year and Mayor Holt suggested exploring alternate funding sources for the signs such as Art in Public Places Funds. BIB] 07-30-1997-U01 10:42:47AM-U01 ADMIN-U01 CCMIN-U02 06-U02 25-U02 1997-U02 / City Council Minutes 5 June 25, 1 997 Mr. Genovese pointed out that in regards to monument signs and bus shelters, the costs given were just estimates which were between $25,000-$30,000. He said this number was arrived at by speaking with the consultant. Continued discussion ensued regarding the bus shelters with Council Member Perkins suggesting that the monument signs be left in for now at the original amount of $52,000. Council Member Perkins supported the $52,000 for the entrance monument signs. Mr. Genovese assured Council that all types of funding would be looked into for the entrance monument signs. Council Member Perkins suggested postponing making a decision regarding the bus stops until a determination is made as to how many and where they are needed. He thought perhaps bus stops could be brought back to Council at a later time and by then it could be determined if any funds had come in that were not anticipated. Council Member Henderson said she would hold firm on the Council's commitment to the economic importance of Highway 111 and supported a bus stop that is unique to La Quinta. Council Member Perkins felt consideration would have to be given in the near future for providing additional police personnel of which there is no provision in the budget. Council concurred that the contribution of $50,000 to The Skins Game be eliminated. Council Member Sniff felt that the Phase VI improvements as indicated should remain. Council Member Henderson asked for clarification that Council Member Sniff was referring to the terminology of Phase VI and not the dollar figure of $200,000. Council Member Sniff said his remarks were addressed toward the Phase VI title and said his initial suggestion had been to pull $100,000 from the total, however, he felt that pending the outcome of today's meeting, there might be the possibility of adjusting it upward as long as the budget was balanced. He felt that it's symbolic and important that the terminology remain. BIB] 07-30-1997-U01 10:42:47AM-U01 ADMIN-U01 CCMIN-U02 06-U02 25-U02 1997-U02 /City Council Minutes 6 June25, 1997 Council Member Perkins said he would support a reduction of $50,000 from the infrastructure funding with the understanding that if and when the economy improves during the coming year that it be increased. However, he said he would not support a $100,000 reduction. Mr. Genovese asked for clarification regarding Phase VI and the Capital Improvement Program. Council Member Perkins believed it's very important that funds be designated for the infrastructure of La Quinta. He said he would accept a $50,000 cut from the infrastructure fund with the intention of making it up during the year. Council concurred on $150,000 for the infrastructure fund. Regarding the Chamber of Commerce, Council Member Sniff said the only modification he recommended would be a reduction of one of the newsletters. He felt the City has a commitment to the business community and its economic development. He said Mayor Holt had made the suggestion that one or two newsletters be eliminated and advised he would support her suggestion, however, he felt the rest should stand. Council Member Perkins advised he was not prepared to vote on the Chamber's request at this time until some of the other expenses have been reduced. He said if Council were to vote on the Chamber Contract at this time, he would only support the $1 21 000 +, but not the $1 62,000 requested. Council Member Henderson said she has not been avoiding discussion regarding the Chamber, nor do her comments in any way downgrade, discourage or criticize the Chamber and hoped the discussions would come up to the level they are meant to be, which is dollars only. She understood the concept for the small business center and felt it is an idea that should move forward, however, this is not the year that the City has the dollars to buy the equipment for the resource center. She said this does not mean the Chamber should not go forward and try to have a resource center that maybe next year the City would have the money to supply the equipment. She noted that equipment requested by City staff has already been cut. She referred to the $4,500 requested for the Mayor's lunch expenses, noting that there's already over $1,420 allocated in lunch costs throughout the budget and everyone else who attends brings a check, therefore, she had difficulty understanding the request. She said her questions pertain to fiscal responsibility and is not us" against them". She said she would support a reduction in the Chamber's request of $41 000, making the newsletter go from 16 to B pages and the other funding figures discussed. BIB] 07-30-1997-U01 10:42:47AM-U01 ADMIN-U01 CCMIN-U02 06-U02 25-U02 1997-U02 / City Council Minutes 7 June 25, 1 997 Council Member Adolph said he could not agree with cutting back the newsletter as he felt it is a fine newsletter. He felt the Mayor's luncheon is one of the contractual services the Chamber provides for the City, therefore, he could not support the reduction. He said the big items should be dealt with first and felt that there are three or four items that can be dealt with to balance the budget without going any further. Mayor Holt suggested that if the monuments remain; eliminate the bus shelters, the dump truck, the Skins Game and video; and leave in the Cultural Funds at $80,000, and fund the infrastructure fund at $150,000, we will have eliminated $319,500, leaving approximately a $23,475 deficit. Council Member Sniff pointed out that if the Post publication was funded for half a year, it would save $13,100 making a total of $332,600. Mayor Holt said she was opposed to cutting the Post, therefore, she was not sure if there would be a consensus. Council Member Perkins said he was surprised that the Chamber has been sitting through all of the budget sessions and has not been willing to come forward with an offer to reduce their budget a little. He said the City is paying over 50% of their budget and felt the least they could do is offer some type of reduction in one area or another. He said if the Council approves the request of the Chamber he would not support it. Council Member Sniff felt the Chamber has made a good faith proposal in the best interest of the City and did not feel at this time that they have any obligation to come forward. He felt it is in the Council's hands at this time. Council Member Henderson was not sure if, when they put their proposal together that they had the information as to what the City was going to be faced with. Therefore, she felt they should have the opportunity to respond. MARIE BOCHNEVICH, Second Vice-Chair of the La Quinta Chamber of Commerce, said they have also sat in their own sessions and worked very hard to see what they could trim from their budget and it was in that spirit that they came before the Council with their proposal. She felt the focus should be changed and the Council realize that what the City has been getting for the past couple of years has been a dramatic increase in the level of service the Chamber provides. They are now supporting two facilities, one of which is a Visitor Information Center that is providing far more to the public than in past years. She said last year they were asked to look at special event funding which she felt they have done. They feel it's important to present a strong Village BIB] 07-30-1997-U01 10:42:47AM-U01 ADMIN-U01 CCMIN-U02 06-U02 25-U02 1997-U02 /City Council Minutes 8 June25, 1997 presence," which is the spirit in which they brought forth their proposal for the Business Resource Center, and to eliminate the $16,000 for that purpose would cause them to reevaluate whether they could continue to keep that office open, as the proposal is intended to supplement and justify that office. She said if Council continues to make the hard choice" about their funding, they too, will have to make the hard choice" about the level of service they can continue to provide. She felt the Chamber has done an excellent job in coming to the Council with the absolute minimum they could ask and maintain the level of service the City has come to need. Council Member Henderson asked for clarification regarding the $4,500 requested for the Mayor's luncheons. MS. BOCHNEVICH said during their budget study session they took a hard look at the cost of this event and determined that they had not properly accounted for all the costs of these luncheons in the past. The $4,500 is for costs that have not been covered by the paid lunches and that the event has run in the red" for years. MICHELLE DALLAS, President/CEO, said that what has not been taken into account is the fact that there are a number of lunches that are always complimentary for the guest speakers, as well as other related costs, such as, occasionally, a hotel room for the guest speaker. This event has run in the red ever since she has been at the Chamber because it is part of the contract for service and it was never the intention for it to break even. She said postage, staff time and printing of invitations were never accounted for in the past. She said any monies received over actual costs are applied to another function or event. Mr. Genovese, City Manager, advised that with the deletion of the bus stops, the Skins Game/Video, the dump truck and reducing the infrastructure to $150,000 leaves a deficit of $23,475. Council Member Sniff suggested reducing the Special Projects Contingency Fund to $30,000. He said he would like to see the New Leaf Program continue and he had a level of discomfort with starting a new account for a schools' contribution. He felt the schools have their own funding and need to take care of themselves to a major degree. However, in the interest of harmony, he would support reducing it by $2,000 and have it in a lump sum, rather than being allocated to each individual school. Mayor Holt suggested that rather than reducing the Post, that Council look at the SunLine Summer Bus and Shuttle which is in the budget for next year for BIB] 07-30-1997-U01 10:42:47AM-U01 ADMIN-U01 CCMIN-U02 06-U02 25-U02 1997-U02 / City Council Minutes 9 June 25, 1 997 $6,100, and also, if the line items were taken out for the Soap Box Derby and July 4th Fireworks, it would amount to another reduction of $6,500, for a total reduction of $12,600. Mayor Holt asked if there is a consensus to leave in the Palm Desert Post, but that it be reviewed at mid-year. Council concurred. Mayor Holt didn't see a problem with reducing the Chamber newsletter to 8 instead of 1 0 and felt that a bi-monthly could be done twice a year if it comes down to that in order to balance the budget. Mr. Genovese clarified that $23,475 was the figure referenced earlier of which $1,800 would be taken from the Chamber and removing the SunLine Summer Bus Service and Shuttle, the Soap Box Derby, July 4th Fire Works and Living Desert out of the budget that would leave the contingency account at $25,000 plus $9,250 for the schools. Council Member Sniff said he would like the schools contribution reduced and wished to see the New Leaf Program continued if at all possible. Mayor Holt said that $2,775 still needs to be cut from the budget. Mayor Holt brought up the conference issue which has been budgeted for all Planning Commissioners to attend. Council Member Perkins felt the conference is one of the things that is important for the Planning Commissioners to attend if they wish. Council Member Henderson said she would find it difficult to reduce or eliminate all of the various funds or line items that she has shown on her chart if the thrust of doing all this is to maintain a level of funding for other line items. She said she would continue to support the amount of funding in the budget for the Planning Commission and HPC if the purpose of reducing it is only to achieve the amount of request submitted by the Chamber for their contract. She said she supports the Chamber but also supports a decrease in their level of funding and in trying to achieve parity with all requests, advising that she put in a considerable amount of time looking at areas that could be reduced. If we're only going to reduce the other areas to leave the Chamber's funding level up, she would support staff's recommendation of $40,926 for the roof replacement. She said she did not cut everyone to leave one selective group uncut. BIB] 07-30-1997-U01 10:42:47AM-U01 ADMIN-U01 CCMIN-U02 06-U02 25-U02 1997-U02 /City Council Minutes 10 June25, 1997 Mayor Holt said she did not believe the roof was going to be cut at this point in time. Council Member Sniff asked if the school fund had been cut. Mayor Holt advised it had been cut to $8,000. Council Member Sniff said he did not support having a fund that supports the schools directly as he felt it's a bad precedent to set. However, he felt if it were to go forward, perhaps it could be reduced to $5,000. Council Member Henderson said she would not support the funds going to principals, but rather to the various groups that work with the schools like the parent/teacher groups. Council Member Sniff suggested getting rid of the school fund altogether and simply adding $5,000 to the contingency fund for the Council to allocate. Mayor Holt said that a lot of what comes before the Council is extra curricular programs which the parents need help with. Council Member Perkins said it appears while Council is talking about reducing some of the requests, that the Chamber has submitted a request with about a 1 % reduction from last year. He felt Council is taking from all the other areas in order to fund the Chamber and that they are not taking a hit like everyone else, along with our own City. He believed that the Chamber does an excellent job, however, Council has a fiscal responsibility and needs to make cuts all the way down the line and not just specific little projects. He said he does not understand the kind of approach that cuts everyone except one group. Mayor Holt asked if the Chamber has always sent out ten issues of the newsletter. Ms. Dallas said that there have been ten issues ever since she's been there. Council Member Sniff suggested reducing the current ten newsletter issues to nine, which would save $4,600 and the* budget would be balanced. Mayor Holt agreed. Council Member Adolph felt the signs and the Senior Center roof structure could be reduced since the exact dollar amount is not known at this time. BIB] 07-30-1997-U01 10:42:47AM-U01 ADMIN-U01 CCMIN-U02 06-U02 25-U02 1997-U02 /City Council Minutes 11 June 25, 1 997 Council Member Sniff suggested that if the monument signs are funded at $45,000 we'll have a surplus. Council Member Henderson could not support the direction this discussion is going in eliminating the enhanced bus stops, reducing the infrastructure and reducing the monument signs. In response to Mayor Holt, Mr. Vogt said the $52,000 is an estimate and advised that you can design to your budget. In response to Council Member Henderson, Mr. Vogt said our direction to the design engineer should be to take the budget amount into consideration. Council Member Henderson referred to a line item on Page 59 coming out of AB 939 funds. She felt it is somewhat presumptuous to assume that after the end of one year there is only one organization SCRAP) entitled to the $10,000. She suggested leaving the $10,000 in and call it public outreach. Council concurred. A brief discussion ensued regarding the New Leaf Award Program with Council Member Henderson pointing out that Council received a memo outlining the results of a meeting which transpired between City Staff and the School Principals in which they've expressed appreciation for the program, but it's just too unwieldy to continue with. The City Clerk was asked to communicate with the schools, that the Council would like to see the New Leaf Award concept continued, if possible. Mr. Genovese reiterated the following for the record: Debt Service on Dump Truck is not required reduction of $9,000; reduction of bus stops reduction of $203,000; summer bus program reduction of $2,500; summer shuttle reduction of $3,600; monument sign reduction of $7,000; Soap Box Derby reduction of $3,800; SCRAP reduction of $10,000, but as identified by next line as Community Promotion AB939 new account adding $10,000; July 4th reduction of $1 000; Living Desert reduction of $1 000; schools promotion new account adding $9,250; New Leaf Program reduction of $1 250; infrastructure improvements reduction of $50,000; Skins Game & Video reduction of $57,500; and, Special Projects Contingency reduction of $15,000, leaving a surplus of $4,225.

Council Member Henderson said she would be voting against the motion, as all she saw was a lot of juggling around of funding sources and levels that had finally been achieved in order to maintain a funding level for a contract she felt is subject to review and subject to a decrease. A considerable amount of time has been spent arriving at what is envisioned for the Highway 111 corridor and we are now intentionally downgrading the concept. We have started a funding program for infrastructure in the amount of $200,000 and we are now at this point, lowering that figure in order to maintain a level of funding for other organizations in the community and she felt we are stepping backwards. Therefore, she could not support the actions taken here. Council Member Perkins said he would be voting against the budget. He did not feel that the appropriations Council has arrived at and the allocation of funding is proper. He felt some of the organizations have been short-changed for one particular organization. Therefore, he didn't feel it is a fair and reasonable or proper budget for the City of La Quinta. Mayor Holt said she would vote to approve the budget in an effort to move it along, however, she sincerely and whole-heartedly felt the number of newsletters should have been reduced. Council Member Perkins complimented staff on the preparation of the budget and complimented the Council for their time and effort spent, even though he does not agree with the majority.
