Amendment No. 1 increased the spending authority by an additional $14,875, for a total of
$37,500 for preliminary design.
Amendment No. 2 will increase the spending authority by an additional $144,937.50, for a
total of $182,437.50 for final design and right-of-way services. Sufficient funding is available
under the Project's CIP budget as noted above.
Once the Project reaches the construction phase, the City of Indio will submit an additional

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
On May 3, 2022, Council approved an Agreement with the City of Indio for the design and
construction of Project Nos. 2021-17, 2022-05, and 2022-07, as the 3 projects are located
along shared jurisdictional boundaries.
On May 2, 2023, Council approved Amendment No. 1, to appropriate funds and amend the
construction and design funding for the shared projects.
The following 2 projects have since been completed: (1) the Jefferson Street and Highway
111 Intersection Improvements Project No. 2022-07, and (2) the Jefferson Street Slurry
Seal Improvements Project No. 2021-17.
On December 3, 2025, the Project completed the Preliminary Design and Environmental
Studies phase with the City of Indio's adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program via Indio Council Resolution No. 10530. With
environmental clearance complete, the Project is advancing into final design and right-of-
way support.
170
Amendment No. 2, if approved, would expand the scope of the Agreement to include these
next phases, and increase the overall project's spending authority by $144,937.50, for a
total amount of $182,437.50 for La Quinta's share. Sufficient funding is available under the
Project's CIP budget as noted above.
Under the terms of the Agreement:
• Each agency will fund 50% of the local share of final design and right-of-way support
costs.
• Each agency will be responsible for 100% of right-of-way acquisition costs within its
own jurisdiction.

RESOLUTION NO. 10530
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF INDIO,
CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND
MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM FOR THE AVENUE
50 WIDENING PROJECT FROM JEFFERSON STREET TO BOTELLA PLACE
WHEREAS, proposed improvements will widen approximately 2.5 miles of
Avenue 50 from Jefferson Street to Botella Place to its ultimate Indio and La Quinta
General Plan configurations, as well as construct drainage improvements consistent
with Indio's Master Drainage Plan, in the City of Indio and City of La Quinta
("Project"); and
WHEREAS, the City of Indio is the lead agency for the Project and undertook
environmental review of the Project in accordance with the authority and criteria
contained in the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), the CEQA
Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City of Indio ("City"); and
WHEREAS, in October 2025, an Initial Study (IS) was prepared to determine
if there is potential for any significant environmental effects associated with the
Project. The IS determined that the Project will result in less than significant
impacts to the environment with implementation of mitigation measures.
Accordingly, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was prepared; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15073, the IS/MND
was publicly circulated for a 30-day period between October 22, 2025, and
November 20, 2025, to the State Clearinghouse, responsible agencies, and
interested parties for review and comment. No written comments were received
during the public review period; and
WHEREAS, on December 3, 2025, the City Council considered the proposed
IS/MND and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Project. Evidence
both written and oral, for the IS/MND together with the staff report and supporting
documents, was presented and considered by the City Council.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF INDIO DOES
RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set
forth in the recitals of this Resolution are true and correct.
Section 2. The City Council, as lead agency for the Project, has considered
the IS/MND.
Section 3. The City Council finds, in its independent judgment after
considering all relevant evidence in the record of proceedings for the Project,
including without limitation the information set forth in the IS/MND that: (i) the
IS/MND was prepared in compliance with CEQA; and (ii) there is no substantial
evidence supporting a fair argument that the Project would result in any significant
environmental impacts that cannot be mitigated to a less than significant level
through implementation of the those mitigation measures identified in the IS/MND.
Therefore, the City Council finds that the Project will not have a significant
environmental impact. The City Council further finds that the IS/MND reflects the
independent judgment and analysis of the City Council. Based on these findings,
the City Council hereby adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration for this Project.
Section 4. The City Council has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Project that has been prepared pursuant
to the requirements of Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 and finds that such
Program is designed to ensure compliance with the mitigation measures during
project implementation. The City Council hereby adopts the Mitigation Monitoring
and Reporting Program for the Project.
Section 5. The City Council designates the custodian of records for the
Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings upon
which the City Council's decision is based, to be the Public Works Department of the
City of Indio. Those documents are available for public review in the Public Works
Department, Engineering Division of the City of Indio located at 100 Civic Center
Drive, Indio, California 92201, telephone number: (760) 391-4017.
Section 6. The City Council hereby directs staff to prepare a Notice of
Determination and file with that Notice with the County Clerk in accordance with
Section 15075(d) of the CEQA Guidelines.

Project from Jefferson Street to Botella Place, City Project No. ST2004
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 10530 adopting a Mitigated Negative
Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Avenue 50 Widening Project
from Jefferson Street to Botella Place, City Project No. ST2004.
SUMMARY:
On March 1, 2023, the City awarded a contract to Albert A. Webb and Associates, Inc. (Webb) to
begin the Preliminary Engineering and Environmental Documentation (PA/ED) preparation phase of
the project. The Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration, and Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program, are being presented to Council for consideration for adoption of Resolution No.
10530 to adopt to the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program for the Avenue 50 Widening Project from Jefferson Street to Botella Place (included as

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City of Indio proposes to improve approximately 2.5 miles of Avenue 50 from Jefferson Street to
Botella Place to its ultimate Indio General Plan configuration as well as construct drainage
improvements consistent with Indio's Master Drainage Plan (MDP). The southern portion of Avenue
50 between Jefferson Street and Madison Street (approximately a mile) is within the City of La
Quinta while the remaining roadway portions are within Indio. The proposed roadway improvements
in La Quinta are consistent with the La Quinta General Plan configuration. A project location map is
included as Attachment 2.
Proposed improvements generally include widening Avenue 50 from one travel lane to two travel
lanes in each direction, closing gaps in existing sidewalks and trails, and constructing a Class IV
bike lane, curb and gutter, and drainage improvements per the Indio MDP. In addition, new
streetlights are proposed in Indio.
Webb prepared an Initial Study Mitigated/Negative Declaration (IS/MND) to determine if the project
would result in any significant environmental effects. The IS/MND is included as Attachment 3.
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15073, the IS/MND
