8. BUSINESS SESSION
A. Continued discussion regarding revision to City Infra-
Structure Fee Program.
City Manager Kiedrowski reported that at the City Council
meeting of February 18, 1987, Council had adjourned to this
evening's meeting to continue discussion on infrastructure
fee issues. He capsuled the February 18th discussion that
the thrust was to take a closer look at items listed in the
infrastructure program to include roads/streets, projects,
buildings. He advised that in an attempt to provide a more
clear picture, a map was prepared by staff which reflected
those items which could be graphically represented.
He related to Council that subsequent to the February 18th
Council meeting, a letter had been received from Mr. James
Resney, Vice President of Sunrise Company, referring to a
draft report of a valley-wide study by SCAG, with a final
report expected next month, and suggesting that the City
acting independently and as a member might give careful
consideration to their recommendations and funding
approaches before acting to modify its infrastructure
program. He added that some of the major streets listed in
the City infrastructure program are also included in the
valley-wide program, and that should funding mechanisms be
implemented one of which would be an increase in sales tax
of 1/50 cent) then it might be in the City's best interest
to review the final report for possible expulsion from the
City list.
Discussion of the size and rate of growth of La Quinta, and
the expense involved with improvements were considered by
Council, however, they cautioned underestimation of growth
and the needs thereto, and the importance of planning on a
positive note.
It was discussed and agreed that what is needed/significant
for the next ten years was the thrust of this review. The
City Manager suggested to Council to review all costs as two
years old the date of the study) and to make adjustments
all the way through prioritizing jobs which must be
accomplished during the next ten years.

Summary:
Infrastructure/credit fees were discussed. City anager
Kiedrowski explained that in order to establish a fee, it
must bear a reasonable relationship to what is going to be
done with the fee. If the fee is set before a project is
designated, the law considers it a tax. But in order to
establish or raise/lower a fee, it must be related to a
program of development which has been adopted by the
Council, i.e. in order for it to be an infrastructure fee,
it must be declared publicly that this is the infrastructure
which will be attempted to build with the fee.
During the course of the improvements/cost review, the
library was discussed regarding size, noting that the County
of Riverside plans for a library in La Quinta could possibly
be coordinated with City plans/funding.
City Manager Kiedrowski was directed by Council to review
with the new City Engineer buildouts, densities, generators
in one month. Additionally, a review of the credit system
will be analyzed, along with whether to go back to the
general plan method or not to be returned to Council in six
weeks.
Council directed City Manager Kiedrowski to review unit
costs, size of fire stations, public library, parks, public
appropriation yard, and come back to Council with revised
total and unit figures in April, 1987, with the credit
system to take longer because of the raising of fees.
It was decided for the City Manager to take look at
infrastructure fee, credit system and get back to council at
first Council meeting in April, with preliminary draft
figures targeted to be provided for study session at 2nd
meeting of arch.
