to buy one cities of Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, and Indian
Wells have also committed. The cost of the cache is $7,500.

appropriate, since they're the ones who will make the
exchanges of dated supplies.

3. CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSAL OF LA QUINTA ARTS FOUNDATION.
Mrs. Licalsi, Administrative Analyst, advised that the Council
has received the contract being proposed by the La Quinta Arts
Foundation for 1992-93. There is a $10,000 increase being
proposed over last year's $40,000. The current budget the
Council is reviewing includes $40,000. There is a basic
change in the services they plan to offer affecting the
village Faire. Mr. Eldred is present to speak to that matter.
Ms. Honeywell suggested that if the contract be amended to
include verbiage that clarifies that each of their events
would require obtaining a minor outdoor event permit including
the City's standard liability and insurance requirements.
Lance Eldred, President of the Board of the La Quinta Arts
Foundation, addressed the Council advising that the Fall
village Faire is being proposed to be another quality event
containing fine crafts much like the Spring Arts Festival. He
noted that many artists are being turned away from the Spring
Festival because of numbers. These two show would then act as
book-ends" to the season.
Council Member Sniff believed that the entire Council is
supportive of the Arts Foundation, but would feel better if
this matter is continued for two weeks for further review of
the budget.
MOTION It was moved by Council Members Sniff/Franklin to
continue consideration of the La Quinta Arts Foundation
contract until June 16, 1992.
In response to Council Member Franklin, Mr. Genovese advised
that at the next meeting, the Council will be focusing on the
RDA budget, however, the Council will have a completed draft
of the City's budget for any amendments.
Council Member Bohnenberger advised that he will not be
present at the next meeting, so he wished to state that the
City is very much in support of the Arts Foundation and he
felt that the additional $10,000 is a reasonable amount. It
could come from the contingency and not increase the bottom
line of the budget.
Mayor Pena concurred that the City is supportive and will
continue to work with the Arts Foundation. Although he does
support the $10,000 increase he believed that two weeks will
give the Council an opportunity for further review of the
overall budget,
Motion carried unanimously. MINUTE ORDER NO. 92-110.

COMMISSION FOR FY 1992-93 GRANT ALLOCATIONS.
Mrs. Kennedy, Chairman of the Community Services Commission,

Middle School sponsored by the Coachella valley Public
Education, which was a result of the grant that was allocated
to them last year through the CSC program. She presented the
Council with a plaque from the organization expressing
appreciation for their support.
Mrs. Kennedy advised that as a result of the joint meeting
with the City Council, the criteria established was that the
recipients be La Quinta-based; that they have a 50l(C)3
status; that the grant would be used for enhancement and not
for an existing programs; and that they comply with the
reporting requirements. There were many worthy applicants
which did not meet the criteria and suggested that perhaps the
criteria could be reviewed again next year and possibly
include organizations which serve La Quinta.

funds:
Family YMCA of the Desert......................$5,000
C. V. Public Education Foundation..............$1,500

TOTAL $21,250
Martin Langer, addressed the Council on the matter of the
Community Services Grants, advising that Community Concerts
was disqualified because they did not have their 501(c)3
status. He was advised on this date, by the State, that their
501(C)3 status will be received by the end of the month. He
commented on how successful they've been this past year in La
Quinta.
Council Member Bohnenberger said that for the past two years,
he's supported the recommendations of the CSC, but this year,
he wished to include the Community Concerts. He commented on
how successful they've been this past year and the cultural
experience they're bringing to the schools and that they're
addressing a void in the schools.

Mr. Reynolds, City Engineer, advised that in September, 1991,
the Civic Center architect made a request for additional
compensation in the amount of $111,033 on the basis that
additional services above and beyond those provided for in
their contract were performed at the request of the Council as
and staff.
Mans peika, Architect with Gruen & Assoc., addressed the
Council advising that when the project had finished design
development and they were getting into the working drawing
phase of the project, numerous changes were made to the plans.
It was suggested to them not to inundate numerous service
requests. So it was decided to wait until the end of the
project until after the last estimate of probable construction
costs was made to request an adjustment to the fee.
Mayor Pena preferred to continue this matter so that Council
can have an opportunity to review the conference reports and
other documentation.

City Council Minutes 7 June 2, 1992

direction for further improvements of La Fonda. Those plans
are now complete and there are two ways in which to proceed 1)
by call for bids, or 2) negotiate of a contract change order
with the contractor on the Phase IV Area B contract. He
recommended the later in the interest of time. Additionally,
the current contractor can save the City money has he has
backfill in Area A which can be used for this project.
Council Member Sniff advised that he has abstained on Phase IV
previously and asked if needs to abstain on this issue. He
lives about a mile from the project area.
Ms. Honeywell advised that the impact of La Fonda would have
to have greater than $10,000 impact to his property.
Council Member Sniff advised that he would be voting.

In response to Council Member Bohnenberger, Mr. Lavender
advised that La Quinta is currently at 60%-90% in residential
recycling; however, the commercial recycling program is not
progressing as well, as there are not sufficient markets for
the recyclables.
MOTION It was moved by Council Members sniff/Bohnenberger to
authorize Waste Management of the Desert to increase their
commercial rates by 1.8%. in accordance with the schedule
submitted. Motion carried unanimously. MINUTE ORDER NO. 92-

conventional independent system, which has to be manually
controlled. Staff has looked into a state-of-the-art system,
which could also be utilized for the remainder of the Civic
Center site. The most highly-recommended system is Maxicom,
which is computer-driven with satellite controllers at each of
the various locations throughout the City. It will have
moisture sensors, which will save water and it will also save
manpower, being able to regulate the system from one location.
Maxicom, Jr. which can control 28 satellites could be upgraded
to a larger and more sophisticated system as the City grows.
The estimated cost is $50,000 for the Civic Center landscaping
only. Staff believes that the long-range interest of the City
would be best served by initiating this system at this time.
He recommended that staff be authorized to negotiate a
contract change order for the Maxicom system.
Council Member Bohnenberger explained the technicalities of
the system's operation.
Council Member Franklin expressed concern that the system can
be upgraded without a great deal of additional costs.
Mr. Reynolds advised that Maxicom Sr. can go up to 100+
stations, but that is beyond what we need at this time. The
system can be upgraded with additional software.
MOTION It was moved by Council Members Bohnenberger/Franklin
that staff be authorized to negotiate a contract change order
for the Maxicom Jr. irrigation control system at an estimated
cost of $50,000. Motion carried unanimously. MINUTE ORDER
NO. 92-116.
8. CONSIDERATION OF REIMBURSEMENT TO LANDMARK LAND COMPANY FOR
CONSTRUCTION OF 52ND AVENUE BETWEEN CALLE RONDO AND WASHINGTON
STREET.
Mr. Reynolds advised that over two years ago, an agreement was
entered into with Landmark Land Co. whereby the City would
obtain the right-of-way for 52nd Avenue between Rondo and
Washington and that Landmark would construct that portion of
the street across the Heritage land. The agreement said that
if Heritage developed, then they would have to reimburse
Landmark for the cost of putting in the street. If they
didn't develop by January 1, 1992, then the City would take on
the obligation of reimbursing Landmark and ultimately collect
back from Heritage when they do develop. Landmark has now
asked to be reimbursed in the amount of $119,280.46. Staff
recommends that the payment be authorized and that the funds
be appropriated from RDA Project Area No. 1.

9. CONSIDERATION OF AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER INTO AGREEMENT WITH
WALLING & MCCALLUM FOR DESIGN OF THE SENIOR CENTER.
Mr. Reynolds advised that the firm of walling & McCallum was
selected as the architects for the Senior Center. He
recommended that the agreement be approved in the amount of
$98,500.
MOTION It was moved by Council Members Sniff/Franklin that
authorization be given to entering into an agreement with

Attorney for the design of the Senior Center in an amount not

that staff be authorized to execute a contract with Planning
and Design Solutions in the amount not to exceed $24,000 for
the master plan design of the City's 66-acres located on
Jefferson and 48th Avenue subject to review and approval by
the City Attorney. Motion carried unanimously. MINUTE ORDER
NO. 92-119.
11. CONSIDERATION OF UNDERGROUNDING OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AT CIVIC
CENTER.
Council Member Bohnenberger advised that he will be abstaining
from this issue as some of the lines are within 30O? of his
home.
Mr. Reynolds, City Engineer, advised that since the beginning
of the planning of the Civic Center site, there have been two
issues concerning electrical service that were found to be
desirable and which are still pending. One has to do with
aesthetics and the other has to do with practicality. The
aesthetics portion has to do with the undergrounding of the
utility poles around the Civic Center. The other issue has to
do with dual power source to the Civic Center. The growth of
the area has out-spent the abilities of the Imperial
Irrigation District to the extent that we have frequent power
outages. lID has produced drawings which would allow the City
to obtain a dual feed from the Marshall substation at
Washington and Ultimo and the substation on Avenue 52 east of
Jefferson Street. In the event of a power outage at either
location, it would automatically transfer to the alternate
source. The total cost for this project is $256,935.11 with
$168,486,00 to Lusardi and $90,449.11 to lID.
Council Member Sniff asked if there are any other lingering
costs which will need to be addressed relative to the Civic
Center and Mr. Reynolds advised that the only outstanding
costs at this time relate to the fire alarm system.
In response to Mayor Pena, Mr. Reynolds advised that there was
a $9 million budgeted for this project and the contract cost
is $8.4 million, so monies are available from that
contingency.
In response to Council Member Sniff relative to the extent of
the undergrounding, Mr. Reynolds advised that ultimately, all
of the poles in the vicinity of the Civic Center and down
Washington between the substation and Avenue 52 will be
eliminated.

be doing what is being required of developers.
MOTION It was moved by Council Members Sniff/Franklin to
authorize execution of a contract change order with Lusardi?
and a payment of cable charges at an appropriate date to lID
for a total expenditure not to exceed $2?8,935.$258,935.11. Motion
carried with Council Member Bohnenberger ABSTAINING. MINUTE
ORDER NO. 92-120.
12. CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF TRANSFER OF TARMAC CONTRACT TO
GRANITE CONSTRUCTION.
Ms. Honeywell advised that staff has received communication
requesting consent to an assignment from Tarmac California,
Inc. to Granite Construction Co., which is in the process of
buying Tarmac. A review of the document indicates that the
assignee is accepting the right, title and interest under the
agreement and is also accepting and agreeing to assume and be
bound by all obligations and duties arising under the
agreement.
Council Member Bohnenberger asked if he and Council Member
Sniff need to abstain since they're in the Phase that Tarmac
is now working and Ms. Honeywell advised not that it will
probably have a zero economic impact on their properties,
however, each individual should make that decision.
Council Member Bohnenberger sees it as being ministerial in
nature.
Mr. Reynolds advised that he is familiar with Granite
Construction Co. and they have a good reputation.
MOTION It was moved by Council Member Bohnenberger, seconded
by Mayor Pena to approve the assignment of the Tarmac contract
to Granite Construction Co. Motion carried unanimously.
MINU'l'E ORDER NO. 92-121.
