Motion carried unanimously. None PRESENIAIIONS None PUBLIC COMMENT Ms. Audrey Ostrowsky, P.O. Box 351, was disappointed that her letter to the Council in November, was not included on the December 5th Council Agenda. She felt that the money given to the La Quinta Arts Foundation by the City should be used for street improvements because the BIB] 01-13-96-U01 11:34:52AM-U01 CCMIN121995-U02 City Council Minutes 2 December 19, 1995 City's roads and basic needs should come first. She felt that the Arts Foundation gave up their rights to City support when they asked candidates to respond to a questionnaire during the last election and also questioned their financial records. She asked the Council to refrain from using City and RDA funds for non-profit organizations until the City's street improvements are completed. Mr F?d Wolff, 77-227 Calle Ensenada, congratulated Mayor Bangerter and Council Members Adolph and Sniff for their election and wished them luck. Mr. David Hanan, 51-535 Avenida Navarro, advised that the City Manager informed him that his petition submitted in September regarding curbs and sewers in The Village would be reviewed by staff, but pointed out that project priorities and available funds change according to yearly needs. He advised that the property owners are emphatically opposed to an assessment district being utilized to fund the improvements and feel that they haven't received equitable treatment by the City. He suggested that the Council be expanded so that a council member could be elected from The Village district to represent the needs of the residential and commercial property owners there. Re advised that the petition wasn't intended to be an attack against the Council or City Manager, but rather a way to let the Council know that the property owners feel that the City's stepchild attitude toward The Village is Improper. 1. LETTER FROM DAVID HANAN REGARDING IMPROVEMENTS IN THE VILLAGE AREA. Noted and filed. 2. LETTER FROM MICHELLE KLEIN RESIGNING FROM THE CULTRRAL COMMISSION. Council Member Sniff suggested that a letter of appreciation be sent to Mrs. Klein for her service on the Commission and that the recruitment process be started. Council concurred.

CONSWE?ON OF JOINT USE OF FACHIrY AND SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH BOYS & GIRLS CLUB OF COACHELLA VALLEY, LA QUINTA UNIT. Ms. Nicholson, Parks & Recreation Director, advised that the proposed contract is the result of staff negotiations with the Boys & Girls Club of Coachella Valley as directed by Council on October 17, 1995. The six-month contract ending June 30, 1996, will allow the renewal to be a part of the budget process. The contract for $30,000 provides for a set schedule for joint-use of the facility for City-sponsored programs and an agreement for the Boys & Girls Club to continue providing social recreation programs for the City's youth. Staff recommended that the General Fund Emergency Reserve Account be utilized to fund this contract and advised that research would be done for possible utilization of Community Development Block Grant Funds for any future agreement. In response to Council Member Adolph, Ms. Nicholson advised that maintenance and utilities would be covered under the joint-use portion of the contract which will be reviewed after six months to see if further negotiations are needed. She advised that City- sponsored programs will be covered under the City's insurance. In response to Mayor Bangerter, Ms. Nicholson advised that the 11:00a.m. start time on Saturdays and Sundays for joint-use of the facility is to avoid overlapping other programs currently in progress. Council Member Sniff supported the agreement and felt that it could be a proto-type for future agreements with other organizations. He also liked the ability to review the contract for effectiveness after six months. Ms. Terry Henderson, 54-711 Eisenhower Drive, felt that the six-month contract was an excellent beginning and suggested that the City Parks & Recreation Department meet with BIB] 01-13-96-U01 11:34:52AM-U01 CCMIN121995-U02 City Council Minutes 4 December 19, 1995 the Boys & Girls Club and Coachella Valley Recreation & Park District to coordinate ft[rther recreation efforts. She referred to the grant application submitted by the Friends of the Senior Center and suggested that they coordinate their computer program at the Boys & Girls Club since computers are available there. In response to Council Member Perkins, Ms. Nicholson advised that the City would develop and oversee a policy for other non-profit groups to use the facility for which there would be no age limitations. In response to Mayor Bangerter, Ms. Honeywell, City Attorney, advised that making prograrns available for non-profit organizations isn't a problem and the City is allowed to pick out groups in general categories that aren?t related to their content. Use of the facility would be limited by restrictions of the Boys & Girls Club in that it cannot be used for political purposes nor involve the use of alcohol or tobacco. M?ON- It was moved by Council Members Sniff?Perkins to approve the Joint Use of Facility and Services Agreement with the Boys & Girls Club of Coachella Valley, La Quinta Unit and direct staff to utilize the General Fund Emergency Reserve Account for the payments required by the agreement in the amount of $30,000. Motion carried unanimously. MIN'UTE ORDER NO.95-215. 1. INTERVIEW OF APPLICANTS FOR COUNCIL VACANCY AND CONSIDERATION OF APPOINTMENT. Mrs. Juhola, City Clerk, advised that on December 5, 1995, Council directed staff to solicit applicants for the Council vacancy and set a deadline for submittals of December 15, 1995. She advised that letters of interest or resumes were received from the following individuals: Andrew Devin Terry Henderson Carl Ingram Lucia Moran B. J. Seaton Andrea Spirtos Dr. Jack Wilson She advised that the Oath of Office could be administered immediately after an appointment is made or the effective date could be set any time prior to January 3, 1996. BIB] 01-13-96-U01 11:34:52AM-U01 CCMIN121995-U02 City Council Minutes 5 December 19, 1995 Mayor Bangerter suggested the following interview process: 1) begin with any questions or comments by the Council, 2) receive public comments, 3) allow each applicant three minutes to make a statement to the Council, and 4) open up nominations. Council Member Perkins didn't have a problem with the process. Council Member Sniff preferred to use a ballot process as opposed to opening it up to nominations. Council Member Adolph supported the process with the exception that he preferred to defer his comments until after the applicants' statements. Council Member Perkins felt that it wasn't necessary to question the applicants because the Council is familiar with most of them and has read their resumes. Mr. Fred Wolff, 77-227 Calle Ensenada, felt that all candidates should be equally considered regardless of the number of votes received during the last election. He felt that Carl Ingram should be appointed because there's a need for representation from North Ia Quinta as well as the working people in the community. He added that Mr. Ingram would also add ethnic diversity to the Council. Ms. Kay Wolff, 77-227 Calle Ensenada, wished to see someone appointed who would promote youth activities in the City as well as represent the median age of the commtinity. She felt that either Carl Ingram or Andrew Devin would provide geographic and ethnic balance to the Council. Ms. Barbara Irwin, 44-065 Camino Ia Cresta, was concerned about the division within the City and was displeased with the Council's inattention of more than 130 letters from the citizens of the community in support of Terry Henderson. She had hoped that the election would be a time for healing, but felt that the cleavage of the previous year has widened and been made more grotesque. Mr. Ernie Brazil, 44-400 Buttercup, advised that Council Members Adolph and Sniff said during their campaign that they would listen to the voice of the voters, but have failed to do so. He wondered if the most qualified candidates were elected on November 7th. He suggested that the Council appoint the third highest vote-getter and get on with the City's business. Mr. Bill Simmons, 45-455 Desert Eagle Court, felt that the people voted for a third candidate and Terry Henderson should be appointed. Ms. Pat Cross, 78-570 Saguaro, was confident that the Council would make the right decision and felt that everyone present is supportive of the youth in the community. She BIB] 01-13-96-U01 11:34:52AM-U01 CCMIN121995-U02 City Council Minutes 6 December 19, 1995 wished for the best for La Quinta and felt that its greatest need is business and that the recreational needs will be worked out. She urged the Council to consider the experience and ability of the applicants and advised that she continues to support Terry Henderson for the Council. Mr. Robert Tyler, 44-215 VilIeta Drive, commended Mayor Bangerter for her support of Terry Henderson at the last Council meeting. Re felt that the Council had ample time to make their decision prior to the last meeting and questioned if the issue of fairness would be viewed the same if the winning candidates had been the third highest vote-getter instead. He didn?t feel that a precedent exists in La Quinta for a vacancy being created through an election process and believed that logic and common sense should be used to make the appointment. He believed that the most qualified applicant was Terry Henderson and the Council would be defying the citizens of La Quinta if they failed to appoint her. Ms. Trice Healey, 54-455 Eisenhower Drive, believed the only fair way to resolve the matter would be to hold another election, but felt that the costs would be too high. She felt that there was no third place winner because each voter only had two votes and she pointed out that only 14% of the voters voted for Terry Henderson. She supported both Carl Ingram and Andrew Devin for the appointment because she wished to have Council representation from someone in North La Quinta and under 40 years of age. Mr. Patrick Healey, 54-455 Eisenhower Drive, presented some math calculations regarding the election results and felt that it would be unfair to declare the third highest vote-getter as the next winner since voters were only allowed two votes. Mr. Philip Shainis, 78-955 Del Monte Court, advised that only 3S % of the registered voters voted in the last election with 28% voting for Council Member Adolph, 27% for Council Member Sniff, and 26% for Terry Henderson. Re pointed out that Terry Henderson received less than 10% of the total registered voters and urged the Council to not only appoint the most qualified person, but the one who would work best with the existing Council so that the City can move forward with infrastructure improvements and satisfactory services for all of the citizens. Mr. Jeff Srni?h, 54-631 Avenida Alvarado, urged the Council to base their appointment on who would work best with the Council and for the City as a whole. He felt that emphasis should be placed on the candidates who support the youth of the community. Mr. Wally Reynolds, 79-860 Fiesta Drive, felt that the residents of North La Quinta support and trust Terry Henderson to represent them fairjy. Mr. Fred Rice, 48-780 Eisenhower Drive, advised that Terry Henderson has worked in the community for many years and he felt that she would work well with the Council. BIB] 01-13-96-U01 11:34:52AM-U01 CCMIN121995-U02 City Council Minutes 7 December 19, 1995 At this time the following applicants were allowed to give a three-minute presentation on their qualifications and background: Andrew Devin Terry Henderson Carl Ingram Lucia Moran B. J. Seaton Andrea Spirtos Dr. Jack Wilson Council Member Sniff felt that the City could be proud of all of the applicants and suggested the use of ballot forms for making the appointment so that all of the candidates could be considered. Council Member Perkins suggested that the Council narrow down the list through discussion and then perhaps go to a ballot. He resented implications that a council member must be young to work with the community's youth, pointing out that he's the oldest person on the Council and yet has spent more time working with youth than anyone else. He also disagreed with the mathematical analysis of the election results that was presented. He encouraged all of the applicants to continue their involvement with the City regardless of who is appointed. He hoped that a decision could be made without going to a special election because a full Council is needed to consider the upcoming important issues. Council Member Adolph commended all of the candidates for a good campaign in the last election and advised that he wouldn't have a problem supporting the third highest vote- getter as the appointee if that decision had been made by the Council prior to the election, but it wasn't. He felt that Ms. Henderson was treated in the same manner that Mr. Zelles was treated a few years ago. He took the position he did at the last meeting in an attempt to bring integrity and consistency to the Council which he felt has been done. He hoped that an appointment could be made without going to a special election and believed that it's important to fill the vacancy with someone who has sufficient time to serve the City, has shown past dedication to serve, and is without hidden agendas and conflicts of interest. Mayor Bangerter felt that she has made every personal effort to avoid a special election because it would be unfair to the constituency, even though it would be probably fairer to the candidates. She expressed appreciation for all of the candidates' efforts, but felt that the appointment of the third highest vote-getter was the only fair way to fill the vacancy. Mayor Bangerter opened the nominations. BIB] 01-13-96-U01 11:34:52AM-U01 CCMIN121995-U02 City Council Minutes 8 December 19, 1995 Council Member Perkins nominated Terry Henderson. He felt that she would be up to speed" from the beginning because of the effort she?s put forth to study the budget and Council agenda packets. Council Member Sniff seconded the nomination and expressed appreciation for all of the candidates and felt that a decision should be made. MOTION It was moved by Council Members Sniff/Perkins to close the nominations. Motion carried unanimously. MINUTE ORDER NO.95-216. M?ON- It was moved by Council Members Sniff/Perkins to appoint Terry Henderson to the unexpired term on the City Council to expire in November, 1997. Motion carried unanimously. MINUTE ORDER NO.95-217. Council concurred on having the City Clerk administer the Oath of Office to Ms. Henderson immediately. Upon heing sworn in, Ms. Henderson took her seat at the dais. 3. CONSIDERATION OF FY 1995/96 COMMUNITY SERVICE GRANT APPLICATIONS. Mayor Bangerter advised that she had a conflict of interest and left the dais. Council Member Perkins suggested that this matter be continued due to the time. Council concurred. MOTION It was moved by Council Members Sniff/Adolph to continue consideration of the Community Service Grant Applications to January 2, 1996. Motion carried unanimously with Mayor Bangerter ABSENT. MINUTE ORDER NO.95-218. 4. CONSIDE?ON OF AN ART IN PUBLIC PLACES COMMISSION RECOMMND?ON TO HAVE A STUDENT ART WAli IN THE CITY HALL. Mr. Herman, Community Development Director, advised that the Art in Public Places Commission has recommended the wall in the City Hall lobby opposite the wall presently exhibiting student art work be designated for the display of student art work on a rotating basis. He advised that, based on a prior City Attorney opinion, the Commission felt that opening it up to public schools for student art work would be a good forum for students to display their art work ahd would not create an open forum whereby the City would be in a position to allow everyone the same access. BIB] 01-13-96-U01 11:34:52AM-U01 CCMIN121995-U02 City Council Minutes 9 December 19, 995 Mayor Bangerter felt that staff should oversee the placement of the art work. Council Member Sniff supported the program. In response to Council Member Perkins, Ms. Honeywell, City Attorney, advised that limiting the displays to certain age categories is defensibfe. She suggested that consistent time frames be developed, the display area rotated amongst the schools, and that staff be in control of the art placement. Council Member Adolph asked if it could be restricted to grade-school children. Ms. Honeywell advised that the main concern is not to restrict the content of the art and to allow school personnel to select the art to be displayed. There should be a rational basis for limiting the display to the restricted category such as for the purpose of encouraging youth of a certain age to get involved in art. Council Member Henderson felt that its a good program, but asked if there was any place within the law where joint agreement of public domain property would supersede the First Amendment rights. Ms. Honeywell advised that restrictions based on a specific purpose would keep it from being opened up to the general public and no public domain property would be created as long as the City is in control of the program in limiting the purpose. Council Member Sniff suggested that the program proceed on a trial basis for six months to allow future review of the program. M?ON- It was moved by Council Members Sniff/Perkins to support and approve the Art in Public Places Commission recommendation to have a student art wall in the City Hall on a six-month trial basis with the City Staff managing the placement of all items. Council Member Perkins asked if it would be limited to elementary schools. Mayor Bangerter wished to see middle-school students included. Motion carried unanimously. MINUTE ORDER NO.95-219. 5. CONSIDERATION OF HISTORICAL PRESERVATION COMMISSION RECRUITMENT POLICY. Mr. Herman, Community Development Director, advised that they have not been able to fill the vacancy on the Historical Preservation Commission with a local resident and to BIB] 01-13-96-U01 11:34:52AM-U01 CCMIN121995-U02 City Council Minutes 10 December 19, 1995 maintain State certification it is necessary to have three professionally-qualified positions on the Commission. Under the proposed resolution, two non-professional positions would be maintained, but non-residents would be allowed to apply for the professionally-qualified positions. Council Member Sniff questioned why the difficulty exists in finding professionally- qualified residents. Mayor Bangerter advised that local residents were solicited, but no qualified applications were received. Council Member Perkins felt that someone from the Coachella Valley should be appointed if possible because they would be more knowledgeable of the area and more likely to attend the meetings. Mr. Herman advised that the Council would be making the selection. RESOLUTION NO.95-97 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE ADVE?SEMENT FOR APPOINTMENT OF THREE PROFESSIONALLY-QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE EITHER RESIDENTS OR NON-RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF LA QUINTA, TO THE IIISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION. It was moved by Council Members Adolph/Henderson to adopt Resolution No.95-97 as submitted. Motion carried unanimously. 6. CONSIDERATION OF CONSULTANT-SELE?ON PROCESS FOR DESIGN SERVICES NECESSARY TO PREPARE PLANS, SPECIFIC?ONS, AND ENGINEER?S ESTIMATE FOR THE SENIOR CENTER PARKING LOT IMPROVEMENTS. Mr. Cosper, Public Works Director, advised that the purpose of the prop6sed Request for Proposals RFP) is to seek consultants for the preparation of the plans, specifications, and engineer's estimate for the expansion of the Senior Center parking lot. On October 3, 1995, the Council authorized the execution of a Supplemental Agreement for the use of Community Block Grant CDBG) funds for the purpose of funding the construction of approximately 100 parking stalls and some shade structures at the Senior Center. The total estimated cost of the improvements is $163,241 and CDBG funds will cover $137,241. The remaining $26,000 will be funded from infrastructure funds. He reviewed the requirements for selecting a consultant which includes the forming of a selection BIB] 01-13-96-U01 11:34:52AM-U01 CCMIN121995-U02 City Council Minutes 11 December 19,1995 committee to prepare a short list of the most qualified consultant firms, distributing the RFP to the firms on the short list, review of the top-ranked proposal to determine the apparent fair value of the proposal, and negotiations for an acceptable contract. The short list will be compiled on December 2Oth by the Consultant Selection Committee consisting of the Public Works Director, Senior Engineer, and the Planning Manager. The RFP's are due on January 19, 1996 and must include a work proposal as well as a cost proposal. The work proposals will be reviewed and the consultants ranked prior to the review of the cost proposals and negotiations. In response to Council Member Adolph, Mr. Cosper advised that the shade structures would be similar to the ones located at the Civic Center, but not as large. In response to Council Member Henderson, Mr. Cosper advised that each year the City receives CDBG funds and in October, 1995. the Council decided to use the funds this year on this project. Council Member Sniff felt that a current need exists at the Senior Center for additional parking and shade structures as well as additional handicap parking near the building entrance. Re felt that Council's involvement with the process is imperative because of past tendencies of the selection committees to select the same consultants until Council Members became involved in the process. He volunteered to serve on the committee. Council Member Adolph also volunteered to serve on the committee. Mayor Bangerter felt that the staff is capable of making the consultant selections and didn't believe that Council involvement is necessary unless it's an issue that they feel very strongly about. Council Member Sniff felt that the process has worked well because of Council involvement and suggested that it continue at least until the new Council Members gain a level of experience that will enable them to evaluate the need. Council Member Adolph advised that his interest was for educational purposes only. Council Member Henderson asked if Council Members could sit in on the process without being a voting member. She had no objections to participating and volunteered to serve on the Consultant Selection Committee for the Senior Center parking lot improvement project or the one for the next item on the agenda. She suggested that she and Council Member Adolph could each serve on one. Council Member Sniff pointed out that two Council Members may serve on each selection committee. BIB] 01-13-96-U01 11:34:52AM-U01 CCMIN121995-U02 City Council Minutes 12 December 19, 1995 Council Member Henderson felt that one Council Member on each committee would be adequate. Council Member Perkins was concerned that too much Council involvement in the negotiation process might overwhelm the staff and pointed out that the final decision is made by the Council anyway. He would be especially concerned if two Council Members were appointed to serve on the committee. He felt that the staff is capable of handling the process. He didn't have a problem with Council Members attending the negotiations as an observer. Mayor Bangerter advised that she has served on selection committees and felt that it's uncomfortable for Council Members not on the selection committee to go against the recommendation of their fellow Council Members who are. She didn't have a problem with a Council Member observing the process, but felt that having more than one Council Member on the committee is intimidating to staff. Council Member Perkins felt that it's hard for Council Members to separate their Council duties when they serve on the selection committee. Mr. Genovese, City Manager, advised that Council Member Sniff's comments regarding the reason that Council got involved with the selection process were accurate. The general pracuce has been for staff to make consultant-selection recommendations when highly- technical issues are involved with a project such as the proposed project. Council participation has been requested when issues are in a more general area or a specific area that is volatile in nature or politically sensitive such as the selection of auditors. The main objective in the recommendations of the staff report is to fast-track the current project as much as possible. Mayor. Bangerter wasn't suggesting that the Council Members not be involved in any of the Consultant Selection Committees, but felt that involvement in every one is not always necessary. Council Member Sniff reiterated his belief that Council involvement is important and disagreed that the presence of Council Members might intimidate the staff. He advised that the issues are evaluating processes and not confrontational. MOTION It was moved by Council Members Sniff/Adolph to approve the Consultant Selection Committee including Council Member Adolph and approve the Request for Proposals for design services necessary to prepare plans, specifications, and engineer's estimates for parking lot improvements at the Senior Center and authorize staff to receive proposals for said services.

Council Member Perkins advised that he wouldn't support the motion because it includes the appointment of a Council Member to the selection committee as opposed to being an observer. Motion failed with Council Members Henderson, Perkins and Mayor Bangerter voting NO. M?ON It was moved by Council Members Perkins/Adolph to appoint one member of the Council as an observer on the Consultant Selection Committee for the Senior Center parking lot improvement project.

The RFP requests submittal of add-alternates for the design of medians on Avenue 50 from Eisenhower Drive to Washington Street and on Washington Street from Avenue 52 to Calle Tampico. The consultant will be required to evaluate the project as a two-phase project so that staff can determine if it's financially feasible to install all of the improvements at once or if a two- phase approach would be feasible. The Consultant Selection Committee is scheduled to meet on December 20th to compile a short list of consultants and the deadline for submitting RFP's is January 19, 1996.

Mr. Hartung, Building & Safety Director, advised that the proposed ordinance would restrict the use of skateboards, bicycles, and roller-blades on sidewalks in office and commercial areas of the City and is supported by the Chamber of Commerce. In response to Council Member Perkins, Mr. Cosper advised that the ordinance restricts the use of roller skates or any similar device. Council Member Perkins wished to see roller-blades" added to the wording in the ordinance. In response to Council Member Adolph, Ms. Honeywell, City Attorney, advised that the purpose of the ordinance is to prevent accidents and legal action against the City would be more likely if an accident occurred and the City hadn't adopted an ordinance to address the safety hazard.

The disclosures and financial statements regarding cash and investments have been discussed with the Investment Advisory Board. In response to Council Member Perkins, Mr. AI-Iman advised that the Council has liability insurance in the amount of $10 million through Coachella Valley Joint Powers Insurance Authority; Council Member Perkins suggested the need to increase it to $20 million. Mr. Genovese, City Manager, advised that currently the City's insurance limits are consistent with other municipalities, but that staff could research the need to increase it. He believed that the limit is per occurrence. Council Member Henderson asked how much time the Investment Advisory Board had to review the report to which Mr. AI-Iman responded that they reviewed it prior to it being discussed at their meeting at which time one hour was spent.

CONSIDE?ON OF ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION APPROVING THE APPLIC?ON FOR THE 1995 BICYCIE LANE ACCOUNT GRANT PROGRAM TO CONSTRUCT AN UNDER?TREET BRIDGE CROSSING AT HIGHWAY 111 AND DEEP CANYON STORM WAThR CHANNEL. The staff report indicated that the proposed project is an under-street bridge crossing for a bicycle lane at Highway 11 and the Deep Canyon Storm Water Channel. This project will provide a safe crossing of Highway 111 by providing a safe, alternate route to the busy Highway 111/Washington Street intersection. It will consist of the under-street bridge and two cloverleaves to connect to Highway 111. The action before the Council is for authorization to file an application for a grant for the project. Council Member Adolph asked about the maintenance of the facility and the City's responsibility related to it. He was concerned about the safety of individuals traveling the bike lane alone. Mt. Cosper advised that the City would maintain the facility in a cooperative effort with the Coachella Valley Water District. Re stated that the bike lane would have better access to future bike trails and was considered safer than having bicyclists cross the bridge with traffic. Council Member Perkins was concerned about the potential for out of sight" attacks and asked if the Sherrif's Office has reviewed the project. Mr. Cosper advised that the bike lane would be an open pathway and not a tunnel. The pathway will be lighted if sufficient funding is available. In response to Council Member Sniff, Mr. Cosper advised that the Deep Canyon Storm Water Channel separates the City of La Quinta from the City of Indian Wells along Highway 111 and empties into the Whitewater Storm Channel. In response to Council Member Henderson, Mr. Cosper advised that the City of Indian Wells will be constructing the bike path leading to the under-street bridge crossing as part of their bike trail system. The under-street bridge crossing is one of the first steps of the City's bike trail system that will be brought before the Planning Commission in the near future. Mr. Genovese, City Manager, advised that this particular part of the bike path system was selected to be a part of the grant application because of its uniqueness and is expected to be more readily accepted for a grant. In response to Council Member Perkins, Mr. Cosper advised that the bike path would tie into a pedestrian bike bridge at the channel that's proposed by the City of Indian Wells. BIB] 01-13-96-U01 11:34:52AM-U01 CCMIN121995-U02 City Council Minutes 18 December 19, 1995 The crossing would allow bicycle traffic enter the City of Indian Wells, the Storm Water Channel, or travel east on Highway 111 to Washington Street without crossing Highway 111.

Mr. Cosper, Public Works Director, advised that on November 21, 1995, staff was authorized to receive bids for the installation of four traffic signals and the extension of Adams Street. The engineer's estimate for the project is $521,800. Four bids were received with the lowest being $479,693 from Paul Gardner Corporation of Ontario, California. He advised that additional funding would be available for next year?s Capital Improvement Program because of savings the City has experienced through combining several projects and the tightening of specifications. Staff will attempt to fast-track the traffic signal installation at Miles Avenue and Adams Street and construct the Adams Street extension once the signals are operational. Council Member Adolph asked why no bids were received from local contractors. Mr. Cosper advised that invitations to bid were mailed to them, but no bids were received. He noted that Paul Gardner's sub-contractor list contains local contractors. M?ON- It was moved by Council Members Sniff/Adolph to award a contract for the construction of Adams Street Extension/Four-Signals, Project No.95-04 to Paul Gardner Corporation of Ontario, California in the amount of $479,693.

CONSIDE?ON OF APPEAL OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S DENIAL OF EA 95-309 FOR CUP 95-021 AND PP 95-564; A REQUEST TO DEVELOP A 128-UNIT, AFFORDABLE APARTMENT COMPLEX ON 11.65 ACRES ON THE WEST SIDE OF WASHINGTON S'IREET, 700 FEET NORTH OF CALLE TAMPICO. APPLICANT: THE KEITH COMPANIES, INC. FOR USA PROPERTIES). Council Memher Adolph abstained and left the dais due to a possible conffict of interest. Mr. Herman, Community Development Director, presented the staff report advising that the proposed project consists of 128 affordable apartment units on 11.6 acres located on the west side of Washington Street, 700 feet north of Calle Tampico. It consists of 88 two-hedroom units; 36 three-bedroom units; and 4 four-bedroom units ranging in size from 750 sq. ft. to 1,200 sq. ft. The buildings will be interspersed throughout the site in eight- unit building complexes with most buildings two-story in height. The exceptions are the one-story buildings along Washington Street and Building #12 along the west property line. Amenities include a recreation building with swimming pool/spa and a landscaped four-acre retention/detention basin on the north portion of the site. The architecture typifies the Mediterranean period with the design including concrete roof tiles, stucco exteriors with stucco surrounds around windows and doors. There are two parking spaces per units provided, but with no garages being provided. The project site is surrounded by the existing La Quinta Village Shopping Center to the south, existing single-family homes to the east, and presently under construction is the Season's project to the west. The Season's is a mixed-use development including 91 senior apartments and 60 single-family homes. Mr. Herman noted that the applicant is receiving State-tax credits for the project, and therefore, must maintain the project as affordable units for 55 years and must also maintain an on-site manager for 15 years. Mr. Herman further noted that in order to meet the City's affordable housing needs, the City is required to provide density bonuses and/or other incentives. The developer is requesting a 35 % density bonus from eight du/ac to eleven dulac) and reduction in the number of on-site parking spaces from 322 to 276. The Planning Commission has denied the environmental assessment on a 3/2 vote based on the following reasons: 1. General Plan Policy 2-1.1.9) criteria for allowing apartments in the Medium Density Residential laand Use designation is not met in that the proposed development does not BIB] 01-13-96-U01 11:34:52AM-U01 CCMIN121995-U02 City Council Minutes 23 December 19, 1995 meet the requirement that it is part of a mixed-use planned development, and therefore, is not consistent with the General Plan. 2. A noise study has not been completed and should be included in an environmental impact report. 3. The number of parking spaces proposed does not mitigate the potential effects that a reduction in parking will have for this project. 4. The 35 % density bonus for this project, as proposed, would have too great an impact on the surrounding community and must be reviewed as part of an environmental impact report. Subsequent to the Planning Commission's action, the applicant has submitted a revised site plan which basically moves the retention basin from the north side of the project next to Washington Street thereby moving the buildings farther away from Washington Street and recreational vehicle stalls have been added. The number of parking spaces has been increased to 338, whereas 320 spaces are required. The Mayor declared the PUBLIC HEARING OPEN. Mr. Mike Rowe, with The Keith Companies, representing U.S.A. Properties, addressed the Council briefly describing the project and explaining the challenges in developing this piece of property with such diverse surrounding land uses. He advised that they are willing to accept approval of either site plan. Council Member Henderson questioned the need for R.V. parking in an affordable complex. She asked if there is a restriction in the rental agreement regarding the number of vehicles a tenant can have and Mr. Rowe advised that there is they are limited to two. Mr. Dane Hooper, 78-620 Avenida Tujunga, didn't believe that it's appropriate to put a project of this density on the proposed site. He felt that the project is substandard housing based on the number of units, size of units, number of bedrooms and the fact that there are no garages planned. He urged that the project be denied. Mr. Joe Hayes, 44-125 Cristol Place, supported the proposed project stating that the developer is reputable. Mr. Jack Sobelman, 52-815 Avenida Martinez, advised that he has had experience with these kinds of units and felt that the density is too high. Mr. John Koenig, 2601 Airport Drive, developer of La Quinta Village Shopping Center, opposed the proposed project because he was concerned with the income level of the target BIB] 01-13-96-U01 11:34:52AM-U01 CCMIN121995-U02 City Council Minutes 24 December 19, 1995 renters. His concern was with security and he could see no benefit of the proposed project to the shopping center. Mr. Robert Tyler, 44-215 Villeta Drive, advised that he visited the project developed by USA Properties in Cathedral City and found that while there is an on-site manager during the daytime, there is not an on-site manager who lives there there is a maintenance manager who lives on-site. In that project, they are allowed two adults per bedroom, which he believed could equate to eight vehicles per each two-bedroom unit. His experience has shown that these kinds of projects do have R.V. 5. He suggested sending the revised site plan to the Planning Commission for review or to deny it. However, he did feel that since this is a difficult site to develop, that there may be a need to bend somewhat on the development. Mr. Richard Crockett, 50-949 Washington Street, spoke in support of the project advising that he has had occasion to visit many of the affordable homes in the Cove area and has found them to be as clean and well kept as any homes he's been in. Ms. Laura Sobelman, 52-815 Avenida Martinez, advised that she has been a real estate broker for 18 years and has some experience with assisted housing and believed that if a project has a one-car garage and one covered parking space, it makes a huge difference because people need storage area. There is a need for good circulation and good play areas next to the units and an absolute need for on-site managers. Mr. Dan Viney, 52-165 Avenida Alvarado, advised that he is a Deputy Sheriff and in looking at this project from a law enforcement stand-point, he sees low-income units as a problem as he believed that it will increase the crime level in that area based on his experience. Perhaps by changing the density and making the units larger and providing garages would make a difference. He asked where the visitors will park. There being no one else wishing to speak, the Mayor declared the PUBLIC EARING CLOSED. Council Member Henderson questioned the location of traffic signals and Mr. Herman advised that there will be one at the entrance to the shopping center on Calle Tampico and one on Washington Street at the entrance to the proposed project. Council Member Henderson questioned the distance from the highest point of the bridge to the proposed signal on Washington and Mr. Herman believed it was around 600' where Mr. Rowe believed it be 800'. Council Member Henderson expressed concern about the size of the units and the density and the fact that the project will attract families who will need garages for storage. She saw some potential problems. BIB] 01-13-96-U01 11:34:52AM-U01 CCMIN121995-U02 City Council Minutes 25 December 19, 1995 Council Member Sniff felt that in light of the submittal of a revised site plan, that it should be referred back to the Planning Commission for review. Council Member Perkins stated that the City needs this type of housing, but his experience is similar to that of the comments made by Mr. Viney that it could be a law enforcement problem. He felt that it's imperative that an on-site manager live on-site. Re also didn't feel that the parking is adequate and that families will need storage space. Re also didn't believe that the income level of the people who will be renting these units will provide a benefit to the Ralph's Grocery Store. Basically, the density, location, security and parking are his concerns. Mayor Bangerter stated that the City needs this type of housing units, although she did have some concerns with this particular project. She supported returning it to the Planning Commission for a review of the revised site plan. MOTION It was moved by Council Members Sniff/Perkins to refer Environmental Assessment 95-309 for CUP 95-021 and PP 95-564 back to the Planning Commission for a review of the revised site plan and that they be made aware of the Council's concerns and comments. Council Member Perkins advised that he could not support a 35 % density bonus, nor a reduction in the parking. Motion carried unanimously with Council Member Adolph ABSENT. MINUTE ORDER NO.95-231.
