John walling, advised that he is trying to build a house in this area and there is potential liabilitv due to the bad condition of the roads. Mayor Pena stated that there is a question as to whether or not the City of La Quinta accepted the roads from Riverside County. He asked staff to respond. Mr. Reynolds proceeded to review the history of the Cove Improvement Project. He advised that the City has graded the streets indicated, but due to the construction activity, the grading doesn't last and further advised that the City can install a 24 foot wide street at a cost of $40,000 to $50,000 dollars all of which will be lost at such time as the area is constructed. Mr. Reynolds indicated that he knows of no one on City staff that has made representations other than what has been presented now. The phases have been completed one phase per year. Mr. Kiedrowski advised that the program was started to rebuild the Cove. The residents who spoke to the Staff were told that it would take 7 to 10 years to complete due to availability of funds. It is the hope that this area will be a part of Phase V. If Council wishes to spend $40,000 to $50,000 on asphalt, it will be torn out in 15 months. The developer in this area, at the time the project was started, came to the City with a proposal. to install streets, sewer and gutters and considerable time was spent with the property owners talking to them about creating an assessment district. Those residents decided not to go forward with this proposal. It is hoped that Phase IV will start in May 1992. Following discussion, Mayor Pena suggested that a Committee be formed consisting of Council, Staff, and homeowners to meet and determine what kinds of interim solutions can be brought forward. Council concurred with Council Member Sniff asking to serve on the Committee.

CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST BY LA QUINTA BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB FOR ASSISTANCE FOR A BUILDING SITE. JOHN FOSTER? Board Member and Past President of the Coachella Valley Boys Club addressed Council advising that the Club is looking for a three acre site in La Quinta to build the La Quinta Boys and Girls Club. They are looking for a 55 year lease at a fee of $1.00. They are looking at the site on Avenue 50 at the entrance to the school facilities. They feel that being next to the schools would be a superior location. He advised that they have been working with Sunline Transit Agency to reroute the buses to stop across from this site and to give free passes. He explained their fund-raising activities advising that it's far easier to raise funds for a building when they can tell a prospective donor that they have secured a site. r. Foster then presented a conceptual drawing and described the facilities they have planned? which is 22,000 sq. ft. and includes an outdoor olympic size swimming pool. In conclusion, he advised that the Club is also asking for waiver of all permit fees. The City Attorney was asked if she had reviewed the proposed lease agreement and she had not. Mr. Kiedrowski suggested that he and the City Attorney review the agreement and report back to Council. MOTION It was moved by Council Members Sniff/Rushworth to approve the proposal in concept and request City Staff/City Attorney/City Manager to review the draft incorporating necessary modifications or changes to protect the City's position and return it to the City Council by the first meeting in April. Council Member Bohnenberger supported the concept, but was concerned about moving too quickly without allowing the Planning Commission adequate time to review the proposal and make a recommendation to the City Council. He also questioned how this proposal will blend with the Child Care Center. Following additional discussion regarding the Club's need for a commitment and the City's concern about acting prematurely? Council Member Sniff commented that the motion on the floor gives initial approval for the use of the site with the details to be worked out later. Motion carried unanimously. MINUTE ORDER NO. 91-30. BIB] 02-08-96-U01 09:07:22AM-U01 CCMIN-U02 03-U02 05-U02 1991-U02 City Council Minutes 4 March 5, 1991 1. CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST BY LA QUINTA SPORTS AND YOUTH ASSOCIATION FOR FUNDING. ADOLFO BECERRA, addressed Council requesting cooperation to help the La Quinta Sports and Youth with the 1991 Baseball season. Mayor Pena stated that he would like to see more concrete figures, as there seems to be some discrepancies in the budget. He stated the Only way he could approve their request for funding is for any equipment purchased to be the property of the City and the Board Members of Sports and Youth would be responsible for any equipment lost or stolen. Council Member Sniff advised that he has talked to Pam Nieto, Treasurer of the Sports & Youth who advises that there is an on-going debt and the need for assistance is urgent, since sign-ups begin next week. Mayor Pena pointed out that Indio Yellow Mart is willing to carry them for the equipment and uniforms, so he didn't see the situation being urgent. What they are looking for at this time is assurance that the City will make funds available. Council Member Sniff wished to see a short-term interim solution. MOTION It was moved by Council Member Sniff to approve up to $15,000 for the La Quinta Sports & Youth Association from contingency funds to be used in the 1991 sports activities for the youth of La Quinta and further, the City establish reasonable means of monitoring the expenditures of these funds by the City of La Quinta and/or its agents will be directly involved in the allocation and expenditure of these funds. Motion died for lack of second. Council Member Bohnenberger felt that the City should assist the Sports & Youth for the youth of La Quinta, but agreed with Mayor Pena's concept that the equipment should be the property of the City. Discussion ensued regarding the fact that they have received Community Services Grant funds in the past and there has been no accounting for those funds. Also discussed, was the fact their Board changes annually, lending no fiscal stability to the organization. Council questioned what happened to the equipment and funds from prior years and concurred that any assistance would require quarterly income and expenditure reports. BIB] 02-08-96-U01 09:07:22AM-U01 CCMIN-U02 03-U02 05-U02 1991-U02 City Council Minutes 5 March 5, 1991 Council Member Bohnenberger suggested entering into a contract with Sports & Youth, with the City providing necessary safety equipment each year and that additional funds be derived from sponsor fees and fund raising activities. NOTION It was moved by Council Members Bohnenberger/Franklin to set up a fund of $10,000 to purchase necessary equipment subject to the terms and conditions that have been discussed. Council Member Sniff expressed concern with the amount being set at $10,000, as he believed that a minimum of $15,000 is necessary as they have other expenses besides equipment, such as insurance. Council Member Bohnenberger pointed out that the City isn't the only sponsor of Sports & Youth, that they have sponsor fees and fund raisers. He didn't believe that the City should be totally responsible for their financial situation. Motion carried with Council Member Sniff voting NO. MINUTE ORDER NO. 91-31. 2a. CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF OWNER PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT WITH TRANSPACIFIC DEVELOPMENT COMPANY. Mr. Kiedrowski resented staff report and introduced the City's consultant Frank Spevacek. AN!C SPEVACEK, Rosenow, Spevacek Group, Inc., addressed Council. advising that Staff is requesting approval of the Owner Participation Agreement between the Washington/Adams Limited Partnership and the Redevelopment Agency, to provide A?Agency assistance to facilitate the development of a 617,000 square foot retail center located on Highway 111, between Washington and Adams Street. This will include a Walmart Department Store, Albertsons and Payless Drug Store or equivalent and an additional 420,000 square feet for retail spaces. The Agency would be providing approximately 3.7 million dollars in assistance to construct necessary off-site improvements that make this project viable. These improvements include the Whitewater Storm channel between Washington and Adams Street, improvements to Highway 111 from Washington east to Adams Street; improvements to Adams and Washington Streets; traffic signals and funds to construct a CVWD water pumping site. The Owner Participation Agreement is structured so that certain parts of the project must first be completed and accepted by the City Engineer before the Agency will disburse the funds. It is projected that the project upon all phases constructed will be valued at 35.2 million dollars. The time frame is expected to be 15 years for both revenue projections and the payoff of the public improvements. BIB] 02-08-96-U01 09:07:22AM-U01 CCMIN-U02 03-U02 05-U02 1991-U02 City Council Minutes 6 March 5, 1991 Council Member Bohnenberger stated that his biggest concern with the agreement is Attachment 3, Schedule of Performance. The City is being asked to make substantial contributions to this project in the form of Redevelopment Agency funds and was concerned that there is not enough being asked of the Developer as far as performing and delivering the goods. From the date the agreement is signed, Walmart will not be opened for 2 years, with Albertsons opening 2 years later. This doesn't seem like performance in a timely fashion. The dates should be moved up on when the first phase should be completed, the first phase being Walmart, the grocery store and Payless. CO? MACKEN, Vice President, Transpacific Development Company, addressed Council in response to Council Member Bohnenberger, advising that Walmart wants to be open by Thanksgiving of 1991. An agreement with Walmart will be signed next week. The grading plans have been through two plan checks. Walmart believes it can construct their building in five months. The schedule in Attachment No. 3, was pushed up a couple of months, predominately due to the uncertainty of the financial markets. It is felt that the financial market has loosened up, now that the war is over. Two letters have been received from Banks, giving a positive feeling. The 600,000 square ft. building should be developed in about a five year period. Attachment No. 3 is safe and TDC feels that the dates will be beat. In response to Council Member Bohnenberger, Mr. Macken advised that Albertsons and Payless would like to be open by January of 1992. Mr. Kiedrowski added that Albertson's has submitted their plans into plan check and has posted the property with their ABC permit. Mr. Macken advised that the Payless plans are complete, and the Walmart plans have not been submitted to the City as yet, but they are complete. Council Member Bohnenberger questioned why Attachment No. 3 could not be written differently. It has been said that they will construct in one year, Attachment No. 3 states three years. Mr. Macken advised that TDC would prefer to leave the dates as is as the dates refer to a completed and open center. Basically it takes 9 months from the start of grading to get various shops open and added that Walmart wants this store opened this year without fail. BIB] 02-08-96-U01 09:07:22AM-U01 CCMIN-U02 03-U02 05-U02 1991-U02 City Council Minutes 7 March 5, 1991 Council Member Sniff questioned if the City has legal enforceable security and assurance that this project will proceed on the fixed schedule to completion and if not what recourse does the City have. Ms. Honeywell, City Attorney advised that if they do not perform, the Agency will not pay any money. They are only getting assistance from the Agency after completion. She added that if the contract is breached, the City will need to evaluate whether or not damages were suffered. The City could then demonstrate in Court if it would be worth trying to sue the developer to perform. In response to Council Member Bohnenberger, Ms. Honeywell advised that if the developer fails to perform, the City could terminate the agreement. Mr. Spevecek advised that this agreement is out of the ordinary in that the Agencies that he has previously dealt with, front the funds and the development then gets constructed. In this case they are building it and the Agency will pay for it after completion. RESOLUTION NO. 91-17 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA QUINTA CONSENTING To THE APPROVAL BY THE LA OUINTA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF AN OWNER PARTICIPATION AGREE!?

CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST BY TRANSPACIFIC DEVELOPMENT COMPANY FOR WAIVER OF INFRASTRUCTURE FEES. Mr. Kiedrowski presented Staff report and advised that per the Resolution adopted in 1987, developers of retail or TO? producing properties can request a waiver of infrastructure fees. TDC is requesting waiver of that part of the project that is sales tax producing. If others are put in, the City will calculate the fees and they would deal with paying the fees on the non-retail sales tax portions.

Council Member Bohnenberger questioned if his motion could be made contingent on construction starting in one year. Mr. Kiedrowski advised that Council could review in one year. Council Member Bohnenberger amended his motion, to include a review in one year with Council Member Franklin approving the amendment. Motion carried unanimously. MINUTE ORDER NO. 91-32. 3. CONSIDERATION OF EXTENSION AND FEE WAIVER FOR PARCEL MERGER AND LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT? APPLICATIONS. Mr. Kiedrowski presented Staff report and recommended that Council extend the fee waivers for parcel merger and lot line adjustments at least until December 1991, as it has been a successful program. Council Member Bohnenberger advised that the value of lots has gone up and this is not a big enough incentive as far as dollar savings to property owners. Unless the City comes up with new and significant incentives to merge, this program may not accelerate. Mr. Kiedrowski stated that staff believes that there are still a significant number of people who have homes On two lots that have never merged them and people who own two lots who wish to build one home on them to make this a viable program. He pointed out that money is saved on sewer and lateral charges. Council Member Bohnenberger suggested that the program be continued to the end of the year and reviewed at that time along with the possibility of eliminating the 50% waiver of Infrastructure Fees, as he didn't see that as having a significant impact. NOTION It was moved by Council Members Sniff/Bohnenberger to extend the fee waivers on parcel mergers and lot line adjustments until December, 1991. Motion carried unanimously. MINUTE ORDER NO. 91-33. 4. DISCUSSION OF NATURE PARK AREA. JERRY HERMAN, Planning Director, presented Staff Report and displayed an aerial photo, pointing out the location of the preserve. He added that Planning Commission approved the concept of the proposed Nature Preserve.

NOTION It was moved by Council Member Sniff/Mayor Pena to authorize the City Manager to proceed with the concept of a La Quinta Nature Plant Preserve and determine what can be done to acquire the land via donations and particularly referring to Areas A, B and C and report back to Council at an early date with findings. Council Member Bohnenberger stated if the motion was only to pursue what we can do about acquiring the land and finding out potential costs, he had no problem with it, but if the City is going to have to purchase it, then Council needs to take another look at it. Council Member Rushworth did not see that the City needs the kind of acreage being talked about for a nature preserve. He preferred to see the bike path get underway before proceeding with a nature park. Council Member Franklin concurred with Council Member Rushworth. Motion carried with Council Members Franklin and Rushworth voting No. MINUTE ORDER NO. 91-34. 5- CONSIDERATION OF ALIGNMENT/ABANDONMENT?? CONCEPT OF MONTEZUMA?A BETWEEN CALLE AND AVENIDA JUAREZ. FRANK REYNOLDS, presented staff report and advised that construction drawings for Phase IV of the Cove improvement program are currently being prepared. Street plans are unable to be completed due to insufficient right of way on Avenida Montezuma between Calle Ensenada and Avenida Madero. He recommended that that portion of Montezuma be realigned as outlined in the Staff Report. In response to questions by Council Member Sniff, Mr. Reynolds advised that most of the berm is still functional and that portion that would not be economically feasible to remove. Additional property would not have to be obtained from Mr. Wolff. MOTION It was moved by Council Members Bohnenberger/Franklin to approve the Alignment/Abandonment Concept of Avenida Montezuma between Calle Ensenada and Avenida Juarez and authorize the City Manager to schedule a public hearing for a future City Council meeting. Motion carried with Council Member Rushworth abstaining. MINUTE ORDER NO. 91-35.

REVIEW & DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS To OFFICE BUILDING AT NORTHEAST CORNER OF CALLE CADIZ & AVENIDA BERMUDAS Mr. Herman reviewed the history of this building advising that they had originally been granted a variance to the parking requirements.

BOB BARNS, addressed Council and advised that he purchased the building out of foreclosure and expressed his desire to enhance the beauty of La Quinta by expanding the building. BEN URMSTON, advised the he is the building architect, and noted that the zoning allowed them to use 100 percent of the land of which they have built on 35 percent. The original building does not have enough leasable space to pay for itself. Council Member Sniff wished to see the City move ahead with a Village Parking Assessment district. He also advised that the sign issue needs to be resolved. Mr. Herman advised that Planning Commission processed a sign program for this building when Mr. Johnson owned it. It did not allow for a free standing sign with all the tenants listed only a building monument sign. Council concurred in having no problems with the proposed plans and agreed that the City needs to move ahead with plans for a parking district. 2.
