PUBLIC COMMENT
Jim Murphy, 54-580 Riviera, Director of PGA West Master Association, urged the
Council to reconsider its requirement for KSL to install an equestrian trail along the
east side of Madison Street, stating it severely limits the landscape area and the
homeowners association is not willing to assume the liability and maintenance for the
trail. He added KSL supports their request and should the City continue to require the
trail, they feel it should accept an easement from KSL and assume the responsibility
for maintaining it.
Council Member Adolph agreed it leaves very little space for landscaping. He also
commented the equestrian trail goes across the major entrance to new homes and
continues down a sidewalk and handicapped ramp before reaching Avenue 58 where
it becomes a safety factor because horses must cross Avenue 58 to reach the Boohoof
Trail. He asked that this be directed to staff for a report to Council within the next
two weeks.
Robert Faulk, President of the PGA West Master Association, advised KSL has agreed
to remove the portion of the trail already constructed.
Council concurred to direct this matter to staff for a report back in two weeks.
* * * * ** * *
Seth Etinger, 78-720 Avenida La Fonda, questioned why the bids were so high on the
Calle Rondo Drainage Channel Project and suggested the City purchase the building
materials and hire a contractor to do the labor.
Council Member Henderson noted part of the problem is that qualified contractors
must meet the City's legal requirements for insurance and bonding.
* * * * * *** * **
Joyce Sivley, 79-775 Westward Ho Drive, complimented Senior Engineer John
Freeland for his work with the community on the proposed sewer improvements. She
also submitted a petition for formation of an assessment district in the Westward Ho
area requested information on the City's sewer subsidy program.

Council Member Sniff agreed.
Council Member Adolph was concerned commercial development would
eventually reach build-out and result in insufficient funding for the program if
the residential fee is reduced and he felt it would be difficult to increase the fee
once it has been reduced.

not have an El Paseo" like Palm Desert to display its artwork.
Council Member Henderson noted the fee is passed on to the homebuyer
through the price of the home.

not to reduce the fee.

Commission, also spoke in favor of not reducing the fee.
Phillip Shamis, 78-955 Del Monte Court, agreed the City has a lot of places to
put artwork and questioned the homebuyer realizing any savings from the
reduction.
Mayor Pena supported the reduction and suggested some of the funds be used
for art programs as well as art pieces.
Council Member Sniff stated he has mixed emotions about the reduction. He
asked if there's a cap on the residential amount, to which Ms. Horvitz
responded no.

amount based on current construction and the amount reduced last year on the

ANNEXATION OF THE AREA GENERALLY LOCATED EAST OF MONROE
STREET BETWEEN AIRPORT BOULEVARD AND AVENUE 66 AND WEST OF
THE NEW ALIGNMENT OF HIGHWAY 86.
Council Member Sniff was concerned about holding a Special City Council
meeting outside of City limits, as well as the format that would be used. He
preferred sending the Mayor and one Council Member to the meetings along

could potentially allow the City Council to meet outside the City.

Member Sniff to attend the two meetings with the Torres Martinez Indian Tribe
and the Thermal Community Council.
At this time Council discussed attendance at the 4th Annual Hispanic Awards Dinner
