La Quinta High School students have an extraordinary opportunity to travel to London
and Paris over Spring Break this year. This is an educational experience that cannot be
replicated. The students will be visiting Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster
Abbey and much more while in London. During their visit to Paris, they will get to visit
the Palace of Versailles, Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and Notre Dame.
As you can well imagine, excitement is high! We are looking forward to everything that
await us on our European adventure. All students are totally responsible for paying their
tour expenses. We are providing fundraisers for the students to offset the costs of their
travel. We are also seeking community members and businesses to help underwrite the
costs for our students. If you are able to make a donation it will be greatly appreciated.
Please make out your check to La Quinta High School European Trip. If you have any
questions please feel free to contact me at 7724150. Thank you for you time.
Sincerely yours,

Albert. (If the queen is in residence and the

so many, was spared the wrecking ball in 1909.
Visit to the Notre -Dame • Recall the novels of
Victor Hugo during your stop at the Notre -
Dame (which dates back to 1163). Admire the
graceful beauty of the cathedral's rose windows
and flying buttresses; on the same site ancient
Romans once worshipped Jupiter! Here
Napoleon crowned himself emperor in 1804.
Guided visit to Versailles • Recall le grand sie-
de as you experience the opulence of Versailles,
dreamhouse of Louis XIV. Built to be the envy
of all Europe, France's most extravagant
chateau continually threatened to bankrupt the

its height, 1000 nobles were attended by 4000
servants inside the palace, while 15,000 sol-
diers and servants inhabited the annexes! Tour
the Royal Apartments, furnished for Marie -
Antoinette. Walk through the historic Hall of

the world's greatest art collections. Here you
can view the Mona Lisa and the ancient —and
armless —Venus de Milo (Greek goddess of
love)!

The woman who defined an era:
Who was Queen
Victoria?

Pnnted on
recycled paper
JTM76LAP
Queen Victoria (1819-1901) was born at Kensington
Palace in London, the only child of Edward, Duke of
Kent. At the age of 11, she vowed that as future queen,
"I will be good." Eight years later, she was crowned.
Her name is most associated with her legendary
prudery; and yet she also made her mark on history by
leading her empire through several wars (including the
Crimean and the Boer). Queen Victoria also abolished
slavery in her colonies, bought the Suez Canal from
Egypt, and authorized constitutions for both Canada
and Australia. Under her rule, England grew to become
an empire of 125 million subjects; but it was also
marked by the tragic Potato Famine in Ireland.
In 1840, the Queen proposed to and married her
cousin, Prince Albert of Germany. (Queen Victoria her-
self spoke only German until she was three.) Theirs
soon became one of the happiest royal marriages the
world has ever known. In fact, the Queen once wrote
that compared to her family, "Politics (provided my
Country is safe) must take only second place." The royal
couple were great advocates of the arts and sciences;
together, in 1851, they sponsored the first World Fair.
In 1861, Victoria and Albert discovered that their
eldest son, Prince Albert Edward, was having an affair
with an Irish actress. Although sick at the time, Albert
travelled to Cambridge to convince his son instead to
marry Princess Alexandra of Denmark. His illness wors-
ened during the journey, and he died soon after. The
Queen partly blamed the Prince for the premature death
of his father. She went into seclusion, and wore black
for the rest of her life.
Distinguished by great wealth, expansionism, and
popularity, her 63-year reign was the longest of any
British monarch. She ruled for so long that by the time
they carved her statue in front of Buckingham Palace,
no one remembered what she looked like when she was
young. (Queen Victoria was the first monarch to move
from Kensington to Buckingham Palace; since that time
it has remained the official royal residence.)
Queen Victoria left behind nine children (all of
whom —including Prince Albert Edward —married
European and Russian royalty), 40 grandchildren, and
37 great-grandchildren. Her last word was "Berrie," the
nickname of her eldest son.

COUNCIL/RDA MEETING DATE: December 17, 1996
ITEM TITLE: Consideration of the Parks & Recreation
Commission recommendation regarding the priority
listing of the Potential Citywide Park Capital
Improvement Projects
As directed by the City Council.
AGENDA CATEGORY:
BUSINESS SESSION: I
CONSENT CALENDAR:
STUDY SESSION:
PUBLIC HEARING:
As part of the Fiscal Year 1996/97 Capital Improvement Program, the City Council
approved an appropriation of $700,000 for various capital improvements to city
parks. The funding is identified as follows:
• Infrastructure Fund
• Community Project Fund
TOTAL FUNDING
$181,411
$518,589
$ 700, 000
On October 15, 1996, the City Council authorized the expenditure of $67,000 of these funds
for costs associated with the expansion of the Senior Center parking lot. The budgeted
balance available for the additional park improvements is $633,000.
During the October 30, 1996 Council Study Session, the City Council requested an
accounting for actual dollars available in the fund balances. The Community Service Project
Fund balance has an additional $31,597 available in unappropriated funding that may be
utilized toward these park projects. 'This amount includes the addition of the actual interest
for the Fiscal Year 1995/96 ($32,145), the projected interest for the Fiscal Year 1996/97
($22,800), and subtracting money appropriated for other projects during both fiscal years.
Therefore, the actual balance available for the additional park improvements is $664,597.
:• ► I bXTU11• •
At the November 19, 1996 City Council Meeting, the City Council discussed the prioritized
list of Park Improvements as recommended by the Parks and Recreation Commission. A copy
of that list is included as Attachment 1. This item was scheduled for discussion at the
October 30, 1996 City Council Study Session. During the Study Session, the City Council
requested a more detailed cost estimate for the proposed pool at the Fritz Burns Park,
including a restroom facility and a shade structure. This information was provided in the Staff
Report on November 19, 1996; however, the City council requested a more detailed cost
G:TWDEPT%C0UNCIL11996\961217A.WPD n 0 0 018
Report on November 19, 1996; however, the City council requested a more detailed cost
breakdown and an estimated cost of maintenance and operations prior to making a decision
on the prioritized list. Included with this report as Attachment 2 is an itemized cost estimate
for the proposed swimming pool and facilities required to operate the pool.
As noted on Attachment 2, the cost of the pool facility is estimated to range from $341,750
to $761,438 (The range is the difference between the verbal estimate of a contractor, and
the square footage construction estimate in the 1995 Berryman & Henigar report). This
includes one 75'x35' public swimming pool which ranges from 3'6" deep at the shallow end
to 5' deep at the deep end, a 30' diameter by 18" deep wading pool, filter systems, a
restroom facility, a shower facility, a ticket office, a shade structure, and security fencing
(wrought iron) around the perimeter of the facility. The costs also include design and
administration of the contract (construction management, inspection, and office
administration).
City staff met with architects and contractors to obtain verbal estimates for the construction
of the pool. City staff also utilized a report completed in July 1995 by Berryman & Henigar
to ascertain possible costs for pool construction. It is important to note that the pool
constructed by the City would have to be in compliance with Title 22 and 24 of the
Environmental Health and State Building Code from the Department of Health Services.
The estimated costs to maintain the structure according to the Berryman & Henigar report is
$0.07 per square foot per day of operation. For the swimming pool and wading pool, this
would equate to approximately $233 for an eight -hour day of operation. If the pool facility
were to be open seven days a week, eight hours a day, for four months, the cost would be
approximately $28,000. If the pool were to be open year round, the cost would be
approximately $85,000. This does riot include the cost of personnel to operate the facility,
which would include four lifeguards. The cost for each position would be approximately
$11.00 per hour. Included with this report as Attachment 3 is a copy of a spreadsheet
indicating operation and maintenance costs and personnel costs for four months, six months,
and one year of operation.
As can be seen in Attachment 3, the total operation costs for a public pool (including
maintenance, chemicals, electrical, and personnel) for four months, six months, and one year
of operation would be $70,240, $105,360, and $213,480 respectively. On November 26,
1996, city staff had a telephone conversation with Mr. Don Martin, District Manager of the
Coachella Valley Recreation & Parks District (C.V.R.P.D.). During this conversation Mr.
Martin stated that for a pool facility of this size, he recommends the use of four lifeguards.
Three lifeguards should be "on deck" at all times with the alternating lifeguard operating the
ticket office. This would actually be a greater utilization of the personnel since lifeguards
must frequently alternate off "the deck" in order to avoid overexposure from the sun.

In June of 1995 Don Martin was considering operating and maintaining the proposed public
pool at the Fritz Burns Park. The proposal that was being discussed was a 25-year lease in
which the District would operate the pool under the following conditions:
• The District would be responsible for staffing the lifeguards;
• The District would receive all of the revenue from concessions, entrance fees,
parties, lessons, etc.
• The District would provide the maintenance facilities which would include
chemical and utilities.
• The cost of major repair would be a 50/50 split between the City and the
District.
The District proposed that the City compensate the District in the amount of
$27,500 for the first year, and that amount would decrease by $1,485 per year
for 18 years. After 18 years, there would not be any further compensation.
During the November 26, 1996 telephone conversation, Mr. Martin stated that the C.V.R.P.D.
was still interested in operating and maintaining the Fritz Burns Park Pool. However, the
parameters may change and C.V.R.P.D. would not commit until they complete their
interpretation of proposition 218. Mr. Martin stated the C.V.R.P.D. attorney's were presently
reviewing the proposition with a schedule to bring the District's fees to a public vote
sometime in the spring of 1997. At that time, Mr. Martin stated he could make a further
commitment or remove the proposal depending upon the outcome of the public vote.
Included with this report as Attachment 4 is a letter from Mr. Martin dated December 4,
1996, outlining C.V.R.P.D. position.
On November 14, 1996, City Staff rnet with a pool contractor and completed a preliminary
layout and location of the proposed facilities in the Fritz Burns Park. Included with this report
as Attachment 5 is a preliminary layout that was discussed. This location is subject to
change dependant on the final design.
Attachment 1 is a prioritized list of projects developed and recommended by the Parks &
Recreation Commission to the City Council. There is $633,000 available in appropriated
funds for these projects and another $31,597 available in unappropriated fund balance for
a total of $664,597 available. The list (Attachment 1) totals $1,272,400. The list has been
submitted to the City Council to respectfully request direction on the prioritization of the
projects in order for staff to proceed with the implementation.

The Coachella Valley Recreation and Park District is still interested in maintaining and
staffing the proposed LaQuinta pool. However, before we can make this commitment to
the City, the District must review the effects Proposition 218 will have upon the District.
We will be working with Muni Financial on strategies to comply with Proposition 218.
Hopefully, the District will be able to make a decision on maintaining and staffing this
proposed pool within six months.
If I can be of any further help on this matter, please call me at (619) 347-3484.

that we could operate their pool if both agencies would approve
certain conditions. The District would be responsible for staffing
the life guards. District to" receive all revenue from concessions,
entrance fees, parties, lessons, etc.. District to provide
maintenance for facilities which would include chemical and
utilities, cost of major repair would be split fifty percent for City
and fifty percent for the District. The City would compensate the
District the first year $27,500 and that amount would decrease by
$1,485 per year for eighteen (18) years. After eighteen (18) years
their would not be any compensation.

PUBLIC HEARING:
Funds for this request are available within the Special Project Contingency Account
(#101-101-663-000) with a current balance of $23,730 (The original budgeted
amount was $40,000; less $7,500 transferred into advertising to pay for the Skins
Game promotional piece on the City; $7,320 for La Quinta High School band
uniforms; and $1,450 for the Octoberfest). Alternatively, funds could be appropriated
from the Emergency Reserve Account.
Ms. Kathryn Hull, representing the La Quinta Open -Air Museum submitted
correspondence dated October 25, 1996 requesting $30,000 to "launch a public
relations and membership drive" (Attachment 1). The City Council requested that this
request be placed on the agenda for formal consideration.
Ms. Hull supplemented the October request with written correspondence dated
December 9, 1996 (Attachment 2) and discussed the Museum's proposal, and other
previously funded non-profit contracts (i.e., La Quinta Arts Foundation and Chamber
of Commerce), with City staff.
The La Quinta Open -Air Museum is approximately 20 acres in size and is improved
with walkways, grassed areas, and a pond, and features an outdoor display of
sculptures and artwork. The Museum contains artworks representing fourteen
countries and projects itself as a draw to tourists as well as an educational site for
local schools. It has been estimated that Park attendance currently averages 12,500
000027
annually. The Museum requests $30,000 from the City to supplement its marketing
efforts and, with an enhanced marketing program, expects to draw more than
100,000 patrons "in the first year".
Ms. Hull indicates that the full advertising budget will approach $200,000 annually.
In addition to this advertising program, the Museum plans a membership drive and
expects to obtain additional grants and corporate support.
Options available to the City Council include:
Award a grant of $30,000, or some portion thereof, to the La Quinta Open -Air
Museum for public relations materials and advertising; or,
2. Direct staff to negotiate a "contract for services" with the Open -Air Museum
whereby the City would contract with the Museum for certain services (i.e.,
free access day(s), etc.) in exchange for a specified monetary contribution; or,
3. Deny the request; or
4. Provide staff with alternative direction.

Dear Mayor Holt:
The newly formed nonprofit organization, La Quinta Open -Air Museum and Academy for the
R
Arts, is requesting seed money to help with the immediate operation of the existing Sculpture
Park and the establishment of new programs. This request is for $30,000 to be used to launch a
public relations program and membership drive, which will provide a potential source of income.
As you know from our previous discussions, La Quinta Open -Air Museum is the largest of its
kind in the United States. It is well known throughout the art world, but local awareness needs to
be addressed. A mailing for charter membership has just been completed, and as funds are
available, a strong public relations program will be initiated. With its continuous year-round
exhibit, this unique facility will draw many tourists to La Quinta, as well as providing an
educational site for local schools. It will provide multiple benefits to the City of La Quinta. We
anticipate more than 100,000 visitors to the Museum this first year.
This fledgling nonprofit organization needs assistance to help it get established and create
programs that will generate long-term income. We are requesting help from the City of La Quinta
to do just that. We appreciate your serious consideration of this request, and will be happy to
provide any additional information you may require.
Sincerely,
Kathryn Lull
Vice President

RE: Request for funding
This memo is to clarify how funds from the City of La Quinta will be used for public relations. It
is necessary for the Museum to promote the facility by providing advertising in public media. Ads
will be placed in local and Southern California news media, including newspapers, magazines and
radio/TV spots, as well as in national art and tourist publications, including magazines and
journals.. Each ad will carry the La Quinta name prominently since it is a part of the Museum's
name. Since the La Quinta Open -Air Museum is open six days a week, it will promote the City
year round, not just a couple of times a year.
As indicated in previously submitted budgets, a full promotional and advertising budget would be
approximately $200,000 annually, the amount of $30,000 we are requesting from the City of La
Quinta is a very small portion which will be used exclusively for advertising. One national
magazine ad can be $3,000 per issue and up, while local costs are affordable --between $500 and
$1,200 per issue. To produce results ads must be run repeatedly. Naturally we will place ads in
journals where they will be most effective.
In addition, the Museum annually will provide a free day in December to all the residents of La
Quinta. Also one day each year will be set aside for the physically challenged, blind and special
students in the area.
We believe the La Quinta Open -Air Museum is a valuable asset to the City of La Quinta. It is
unique to the area, the largest such institution in the United States, and well -respected throughout
the art world. Having just become a nonprofit organization it is in need of seed money to help
with its secure establishment. Even though the La Quinta Sculpture Park was operated as a
private enterprise for a few years, there are specific needs in the development of the nonprofit
organization. We appreciate your serious consideration in financially helping with the continued
operation of one of your greatest treasures.

The amount of the request is $657.50 plus insurance coverage of $93.15 for a total
request of $750.65.
Funds for this request are available within the Special Project Contingency Account
(#101-101-663-000) with a current balance of $23,730 (The original budgeted
amount was $40,000; less $7,500 transferred into advertising to pay for the Skins
Game promotional piece on the City; $7,320 for La Quinta High School band
uniforms; and $1,450 for the Octoberfest).
Mrs. Audry Manuel of the Miss La Quinta Pageant sent a letter dated November 21,
1996 (Attachment No. 1) to the City Council requesting a contribution to cover the
costs associated with renting the Senior Center. The Council reviewed this letter
under Written Correspondence at the December 3, 1996 City Council meeting and
directed that this item be agendized for the December 17, 1996 City Council meeting.
The request is for $657.50 which covers the associated costs for use of the Senior
Center. That fee includes a facility use fee, a security fee, a setup fee, a clean-up
fee, and a public address system fee; however, it does not include the required
insurance rider fee of $93.15. Since that fee is part of the facility use, staff is
recommending that it be included with the $657.50 request for a total request of
$750.65. Staff has discussed this concept with Audry Manuel and she concurs.
Mrs. Manuel also indicated to staff that she would be unable to attend the December
17, 1996 Council meeting as she is a postal worker and this is their busiest season
000031
of the year. Mrs. Manuel did not want her absence from the City Council meeting to
be viewed as a lack of interest on her part. Staff indicated to Mrs. Manuel that the
Council would be so advised.
Staff consulted Mrs. Manuel and the founder of the Miss La Quinta Pageant, Mrs. Vi
Messick, for background information on the pageant. The Miss La Quinta Pageant
was started in 1960 by Mrs. Messick as a private franchise. In its current
configuration, there are no entry fees and the Miss La Quinta Pageant is basically a
philanthropical organization to assist young ladies. Both indicated a long-term desire
to have a community organization take over the Miss La Quinta Pageant. In the
meantime, Mrs. Manuel runs the program and Mrs. Messick holds the franchise.
The Council requested that this item be considered at this time. The following
options are available to the City Council:
Approve the request ($750.65) to cover the use fee for the Senior Center; or,
2. Do not approve the request ($750.65) to cover the use fee for the Senior
Center; or,
3. Approve the request for an amended amount to cover the use fee for the
Senior Center; or,
4. Provide further direction to staff.

The City received correspondence from the Riverside County Transportation
Commission (RCTC) requesting that the City adopt a resolution in support of an Inland
Empire routing of high speed rail between Los Angeles and San Diego (Attachment
No. 1).
According to information from RCTC, the California Intercity High Speed Rail
Commission (the "Commission") is completing a study of the feasibility of establishing
a high speed rail line between Los Angeles and the Bay Area. The Commission has
concluded that an extension from Los Angeles to San Diego would be of benefit to
the State and that there exists two alternate routes: one via the Interstate 5 corridor,
the other via the Inland Empire. This resolution supports the routing of a high speed
rail through the Inland Empire. The attached correspondence and resolution provide
further background details on the request and itemize comparative advantages of an
Inland Empire route.
Staff contacted RCTC on December 10, 1996 for a status/update report on actions
taken by other cities and received the attached report (Attachment No 2). As noted,
the majority of cities have approved a resolution or are scheduled to do so in the near
future.

ROUTING OF HIGH SPEED RAIL BETWEEN LOS ANGELES
AND SAN DIEGO
WHEREAS, the California Intercity High Speed Rail Commission in completing its
study of the feasibility of establishing a high speed rail line between Los Angeles and the
Bay Area; and,
WHEREAS, the California Intercity High Speed Rail Commission has concluded that
an extension from Los Angeles to San Diego would significantly increase total State
ridership and would generate four million passengers yearly just on the segment between
Los Angeles and San Diego; and,
WHEREAS, the California Intercity High Speed Rail Commission has selected two
alternate routes between Los Angeles and San Diego: one parallel to Interstate 5 and one
parallel to Interstates 10 and 15/215; and,
WHEREAS, the 1-5 coastal corridor currently has numerous Amtrak and commuter
trains in its limited right-of-way and most communities along that corridor have previously
expressed opposition to high speed rail; and,
WHEREAS, an unconstrained high speed rail route via the Inland Empire would
have shorter travel times between San Diego and Los Angeles compared to a reduced -
speed alternative using the environmental sensitive coastal corridor and would, thus likely
generate greater ridership and revenue; and,
WHEREAS, an Inland Empire routing for the high speed rail system would establish
new economic links to northern San Diego county cities such as Escondido; and,
WHEREAS, the 1-15/215 corridor currently provides no rail service options between
the Inland Empire and San Diego while the coastal corridor already provides a full range
of commuter and intercity services; and,
WHEREAS, the Inland Empire is a major hub of an expanding regional economy
and both to recognize the need for and support the development of transportation
improvements to strengthen the region's economy; and,
WHEREAS, the United States Department of Commerce forecasts that the two
counties of Riverside and San Bernardino will have the largest population growth of any
of the nation's metropolitan areas over the next ten years creating over 415,000 new jobs
and the Southern California Association of Governments estimates that the counties of
Riverside and San Bernardino will have a population of approximately 4.2 million by the
year 2005; and,
o'1^"3elk
Resolution 96-
WHEREAS, the Inland Empire high speed rail alignment between San Diego and
Los Angeles could connect with other proposed high speed rail projects between Los
Angeles and Las Vegas; and,
WHEREAS, the Inland Empire transportation agencies own many miles of rail
rights -of -way which could be used for portions of an alignment to San Diego, including
twenty miles immediately parallel to 1-215 and additional rights -of -way in the Inland Empire
could be purchased at values less than along a coastal route; and,
WHEREAS, there is little or no air service between the Inland Empire and either
San Diego or Los Angeles, thus, minimizing competition between air and rail modes; and,
WHEREAS, public support for rail development is strong within the Inland Empire;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of La Quinta, in La Quinta,
California supports the concept of the development and construction of a high speed rail
link between Los Angeles and San Diego serving the Inland Empire, as part of an overall
high speed rail system between San Diego and San Francisco.

ITEM TITLE: Consideration of Grading Permit Issuance
for the Tradition Golf Course
Authorize staff to issue a conditional grading permit.
None.
AGENDA CATEGORY:
BUSINESS SESSION: S
CONSENT CALENDAR:
STUDY SESSION:
PUBLIC HEARING:
The proposed Tradition Golf Course is located immediately adjacent to, and south of,
Avenue 52 and east of Avenida Bermudas (see Attachment #1). The land has been
owned by several different developers in the past decade, all of which have proposed
to construct a golf course and housing development similar to other golf oriented
projects commonly found in La Quinta and the Coachella Valley. The City has
previously approved two different tentative tract (TT) maps for this land in the past
decade: TT 21880 in 1986 and TT 27613 in 1992.
The current owner, Sienna, intends to implement a golf course and housing layout
that is slightly different from the one approved in 1992 via TT 27613. In many areas
of the proposed project, the differences in the golf course layout are minor when
compared to the golf course layout approved in TT 27613, particularly in the
perimeter areas of the project. However in other areas, primarily the interior portions
of the project, the layout differs substantially. As a result, it's not possible to
administratively approve the project at staff level as substantially conforming to the
existing approved tentative map.
The developer's goal is to have the golf course constructed and ready to play by
November 1, 1997. The critical tasks related to having the course ready to play by
that date is a function of two things: 1) complete the grading, and 2) allow sufficient
time for the Bermuda grass to grow and get established. In order to achieve that
goal, it is necessary to start construction this month so grading can be completed by
the end of April 1997. A two or three-month delay at the beginning of the golf
course development phase does not: translate to a two or three-month delay at the
end. If the golf course construction phase is delayed two or three months this winter,
G:\PWDEPT\000NCIL\1996\96I 217C.SS 000042
the growing season for the Bermuda grass becomes too short, and as a result, the
developer will postpone development of the project for another year.
As stated earlier in this report, the proposed golf course does not substantially
conform to the existing approved tentative map. The developer recently submitted
a new tentative map for processing that matches the proposed golf course and
housing layout. However, it will be early March 1997, before that map may be
approved, assuming there are no delays or continuances. The tentative map approval
process requires that two separate public hearings be conducted prior to approval:
one at the Planning Commission and one at the City Council. A prerequisite to
tentative map approval includes approval of an environmental document pursuant to
the California Environmental Quality Act.
Because the prerequisite approvals for the revised project concept are not in place at
this time, staff is hesitant to issue a grading permit for the proposed golf course and
housing layout. The developer is willing to proceed on an "at -risk" basis, which
means the City would issue a grading permit for the proposed project concept on the
understanding that any revision that may result from the forthcoming approval
process will have to be incorporated into the project at a later date even if it means
substantial additional expense to the developer. If the City issues the grading permit
prior to tentative map approval, it will be done in a manner in which the developer
fully understands permit issuance does not carry any warranty or guarantee, express
or implied, that the City will eventually approve a project conforming to the grading
plans referenced in the permit.
The proposed development concept: is similar in a general way to the two previous
project concepts approved by the City in 1986 and 1992. It is similar by the fact all
three project concepts involve development of single family housing in a golf course
setting, and all three concepts encompass the same grading limits. Since the
previous projects were approved by the City via the public hearing process, and in
accordance with CEQA, it is not likely any new issues will emerge that are considered
valid reasons for denying project approval. It is likely, however, some minor issues
never heard before may emerge and require mitigation as a condition of tentative map
approval early next year.
Due to the sensitive nature of issuing a grading permit prior to tentative tract
approval, staff has taken a conservative position and restricted six (6) areas or
locations on the grading plans where no grading will be allowed until the public
hearing process has been completed and the Planning Commission and City Council
are comfortable with the proposal for those areas. Five of the locations are in
marginal hillside conservation areas; the sixth location where grading is restricted
involves the Hacienda Del Gato area and the large trees in that vicinity. In essence,
the grading plan which will be used as a basis if a permit is issued will comply with
all previous tentative map approvals except for the golf course and housing layout.
G:1P W D EPT1C0 UN C IL118861861217 C. SS
000043
The developer has been proceeding at risk for several weeks. Staff has been plan
checking the grading plan on an at -risk -basis and staff has issued a clearing and
grubbing permit in anticipation of issuance of an at -risk grading permit. The recently
installed chain link fence was installed pursuant to the clearing and grubbing permit.
The chain link fence is temporary and was installed as a security measure; it has been
permitted for a period of six (6) months and may be extended in duration if authorized
by the City.
Staff has informed the developer, and the developer has agreed in concept, that a
permanent block wall completely enclosing the project, except for the mountainous
boundaries, will have to be installed before any building permits for residential
occupancy are issued.
The developer is extremely anxious to get started with the grading work and is willing
to assume all of the risk associated with grading the site prior to tentative map
approval. The developer has agreed to sign an agreement to defend and hold
harmless the City in the event of any CEQA challenges arising from grading of this
site pursuant to the proposed grading permit, and to release the City from any claim
of reliance on building the project based on the grading permit issuance prior to their
obtaining all required land use approvals. Additionally, staff recommends the City
require the developer to post security in the form of a letter of credit in an amount
equal to 50% of the grading cost to (insure completion of any regrading or restoration
work that may arise as a result of the project approval process, or cover any legal
action that may occur as result of the proposed grading.
Alternatives:
1. Authorize staff to issue a conditional grading permit requiring indemnification
by the developer and posting of security to ensure compliance with the permit
requirements.
2. Direct staff to defer grading permit issuance until the tentative map is
approved.
3. Provide staff with alternate direction.

ITEM TITLE: Consideration to Adopt Resolution No. STUDY SESSION:
96-—
Establishing Speed Limit on Westward Ho
Drive from Adams Street to Roadrunner Lane. PUBLIC HEARING:
Adopt resolution establishing a legal speed limit of thirty five miles -per -hour (35 MPH)
on Westward Ho Drive from Adams Street to Roadrunner Lane.
It is estimated that sign placement will cost $400.00, which is available in the current
budget account for operating supplies, street signs, 101-453-703-833.
The California Vehicle Code authorizes cities to establish and regulate speed zones
within their jurisdictions, based on an engineering and traffic survey, conducted in
accordance with methods determined by the Department of Transportation.
The Municipal Code requires non -statutory speed limits to be established on the basis
of an engineering and traffic survey. The speed limits become effective when
adopted by City Council Resolution.
California Vehicle Code defines the speed limit on rural roadways, such as Westward
Ho Drive, as 55 MPH. Exceptions from this include residential areas and business
districts, but unfortunately, this area does not meet either of these definitions. The
school zone speed limit of 25 MPH is only valid when children are present. To reduce
the implied 55 MPH speed limit to one that uniformly fits the surrounding area, the
City council must approve an engineering and traffic survey, and establish a lower
speed limit that is leagally enforcable.
000046
D: \P W D E MC O U N C I LY199 6\961217 D. W P D
Speed data collected by the city engineering staff indicates the critical speed on
Westward Ho Drive is 38 MPH in either direction. Critical speed is defined as the
eighty-fifth percentile speed, which is the speed at or below which 85% of the traffic
is moving. The posted speed limit is normally established by rounding up or down to
the first five -mile -per -hour increment above or below the critical speed, which in this
case could be 35 MPH or 40 MPH. Based on the Engineering and Traffic Survey,
(Attachment 1), a posting of 35 MPH is recommended as the speed limit.
The posting of 35 MPH will not effect the state mandated speed limit of 25 MPH
when children are present within a school zone. The school zone on Westward Ho
Drive extends along the High School's frontage from Adams Street to Dune Palms
Road, plus an additional 500' east on the approach to the High School.
By adopting this resolution, the Sheriff's Department will be able to enforce the speed
limit with radar, within the specified roadway limits.
1 _ Adopt the resolution establishing a 35 MPH speed limit on Westward Ho Drive,
between Adams Street and Roadrunner Lane.
2. Do not adopt the resolution, and keep the unposted speed limit of 55 MPH on
Westward Ho Drive in front of the High School, and keep the unenforceable
but posted speed limit of 25 MPH for the area east of Dune Palms Road.
3. Give staff alternative direction.

During the City Council meeting of July 22, 1996, the Council approved a Consultant
Selection Committee and approved a Request For Proposals (RFP) for preliminary
engineering and design services for various Fiscal Year 1996/97 citywide street
improvements.
On September 17, 1996, the City Council approved a Professional Services
Agreement (PSA) with the firm of Berryman & Henigar for preliminary engineering and
design services for various Fiscal Year 1996/97 citywide street improvements.
Included within the consultants scope of work was the development of a traffic signal
needs study for the intersection of Washington Street and Avenue 48 (Attachment
1). The study was prepared to determine if a traffic signal is warranted.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
Based upon the information contained within the consultant's study (Attachment 1,
Warrant #1 1, Peak Hour Volume), and considering the two most recent traffic
accidents at this intersection, the traffic signal at Washington Street and Avenue 48
is recommended. Staff is recommending to proceed with design at this time, and in
the future, to include the construction of this traffic signal with the improvements for
the Avenue 48 extension project. This may provide a benefit from the "economy of
scale" by including the signal with the much larger project (Avenue 48 Extension, is
full width street improvement including three traffic signals on Avenue 48 at; Adams
Street, Dune Palms Road and Jefferson Street); however, in order to complete the
signal in a more timely fashion, it may be advantageous to bid the signal as a singular
project.
Alternatives for the City Council to consider:
Authorize staff to proceed with design for a traffic signal at Avenue 48 and
Washington Street.
2. Provide staff with alternative direction.

INTRODUCTION
The City of La Quinta has designated funds in the Fiscal Year 1996/97 Capital Improvement Plan for
the design and construction of traffic signal improvements at the intersection of Avenue 48 and
Washington Street. Prior to the start of construction for these improvements, a Traffic Signal Needs
Report is to be prepared and submitted to the City Council for its consideration. The Traffic Signal
Needs Report will analyze the need for a traffic signal on Washington Street to address current and
projected traffic (motorized and unmotorized) needs in terms of congestion relief and safety.
General Plan - Circulation Element
The Circulation Element of the La Quinta General Plan identifies and establishes the City's policies
governing the system of roadways, intersections, sidewalks, bike paths and other components of the
circulation system which collectively provide for the movement of persons and goods through the
City. In particular, the Circulation Element of the General Plan identifies the following:
• The network of facilities required to serve vehicular and non -vehicular travel demand
in the City of La Quinta at build -out.
• The desired courses of actions/strategies which provide the means to implement the
City's circulation element.
The Circulation Element specifies the system of roadway and other transportation infrastructure
required to satisfy future travel demands. Because of the north -south orientation of the City's travel
base, Washington Street and Jefferson Street are key to handling traffic at build -out. As such, both
facilities have been classified as Major Arterial. Based upon the forecasted travel volumes and
functions, these major arterial roadways will eventually be widened to six lanes with a center median,
and all major intersections alongthe he mAjor arterials should be signalized with protected left turns'
The General Plan - Circulation Element identifies official development policies related to the
circulation system. These policies are specific statements which guide the decision -making process
involving the circulation system. The policies are clear, unambiguous and are based upon the General
Plan's goals and objectives, as well as the analysis of data. Specific policies regarding traffic signal
improvements at major intersections on Washington Street, including Avenue 48, are as follows:
Policy 3-2.1.2 - The City will utilize the Level of Service (LOS) as a measure of acceptable
traffic flow and operational conditions at intersections. Level of Service is a qualitative
measure of traffic flow and driver satisfaction with values ranging from A
(free flow) to F (over saturation). The traffic flow characteristics corresponding to these
values are described as follows:'

LOS
Traffic Flow Characteristics
A Extremely favorable progression with very little delay. Most vehicles do not stop at all.
B Good progression and stable flow with an occasional approach phase fully utilized.
C Satisfactory operation with fair progression and longer cycle lengths. Individual cycle
failures may begin to appear.
D Tolerable delay where congestion becomes noticeable and many vehicles stop.
E Unstable flow with poor progression and frequent cycle failures. This is considered the
limit of acceptable delay.
F Over saturation with arrival flow rates exceeding the capacity of the intersection.
Considered unacceptable to most drivers.
• Policy 3-2.1.3 - The City shall establish intersection Level of Service "D" as the minimum
acceptable Level of Service.'
Policy 3-2.1.6 - Due to the significant growth of forecasted build -out traffic volumes and
possible exceedance of available roadway capacity at specific locations, the City shall monitor
traffic conditions, identify and implement Transportation System Management (TSM)
strategies as warranted along the following roadway segments:'
a. Washington Street, between Ave. 50 and the northern city limits.
b. Jefferson Street, between Ave. 50 and Highway 111.
TSM strategies to be considered include:
a. Intersection geometrics and signalization
b. Spot roadway widenings
C. Access control
d. Land use control and Transportation Demand Management (TDM)
Policy 3-2.1.9 - Installation of all new traffic control devices shall be based upon established
warrants and professional analysis in order to assure traffic safety and reduce potential public
liability.5

A justification for the installation of a traffic signal at an intersection can be based upon warrants, or
specifically defined traffic conditions standards. The City of La Quinta has justified recent traffic
signal improvements on warrants as stated in the California Traffic Manual and in the Manual On
Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The justification for a signal is met if any one of the I 1 warrants
as defined by the California Traffic Manual are met. However, the decision to install a signal should
not be based solely upon meeting warrants, since the installation of traffic signals may increase certain
types of collisions. Delay, congestion, approach conditions, driver confusion, future land use or other
evidence of the need for right of way assignment beyond that which could be provided by stop signs
must be demonstrated.' The I 1 warrants identified in the California Traffic Manual are as follows:
Warrant
Warrant Title
Description

I
Minimum Vehicle Volume
Intersecting traffic is the principal reason for consideration of a signal installation.
2
Interruption of Continuous Traffic
Traffic volume on a major street is so heavy that traffic on a minor street suffers excessive delays.
3
Minimum Pedestrian Volume
Inadequate time between platooned traffic to allow pedestrians to cross the intersection
4
School Areas
Heavy pedestrian traffic to and from school crossing a single intersection
5
Progressive Movement
Necessary to provide traffic platooning and speed control, general used on one-way streets
6

In September 1995, traffic counts were conducted at the intersection of Avenue 48 and Washington
Street. This time period was selected to obtain traffic count data reflecting the impacts the La Quinta
High School has on this intersection. Studies were conducted for the following warrants
• Warrant 1 - Minimum Vehicular Volume
• Warrant 2 - Interruption of Continuous Traffic
• Warrant 8 - Combination of Warrants
• Warrant 9 - Four Hour Volume
• Warrant 11 - Peak Hour Delay
Studies for the other warrants were not conducted because these warrants do not pertain to this
intersection. Warrants 2 and 9 were very close to being met. Warrant 9 required only one additional
vehicle on Avenue 48 over a four hour period to be satisfied, while Warrant 2 required an additional
9 vehicles on Avenue 48 over a two hour period to be satisfied.

F:\PWDEPTkPROJECTS\FY9697ST\SGNLSTDY.WPD
A number of improvements are anticipated on Avenue 48 in the very near future that will add
additional traffic to this intersection, specifically the Avenue 48 leg. These improvements include the
extension of Avenue 48 from Adams Street to Jefferson Street, the develoment of properties along
Dune Palms Road from Highway 111 to Avenue 48, the opening of the Home Depot on Highway 111
near the intersection of Highway 111 and Dune Palms Road and the reopening of the Dune Palms
Road-WWR Channel Crossing north of Highway 111.
Capital Improvement Program
The purpose of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is to provide the City of La Quinta with a
long-range program for major municipal capital construction projects. Priorities, as to which fiscal
year a project is scheduled, depend upon the availability of specific funding sources, operation and
program needs, and prior City Council policy.' The Fiscal Year 1996/97 CIP appropriated funds in
Fiscal Year 1996/97 for the design and construction of traffic signal improvements at the intersection
of Avenue 48 and Washington Street.
In anticipation of traffic signal improvements to the intersection of Washington Street and Avenue
48, traffic counts were conducted at this intersection. Warrant studies, as discussed earlier, were
completed to determined if a traffic signal warrants were met. Traffic counts were too low on
Avenue 48 to support the need for a traffic signal at that time. However, because warrants were very
close to being met on Warrant 2 (Interruption of Continuous Traffic) and Warrant 9 (Four Hour
Volume Warrants), and known traffic generators were scheduled to start in the near future that would
increase traffic levels on Avenue 48, it was determined the traffic signal improvement should be
incorporated into the Fiscal Year 1996/97 CIP. More specifically, traffic generators affecting the
counts on Avenue 48 are as follows:
• Extension of Avenue 48 to Jefferson Street
Scheduled Impact Date - July 1997
Impacts - Increased east -west traffic between Indio and west La Quinta, south of
Highway 111.
Reason for Impact - Traffic avoiding Highway 111.
Completion of the segment of Adams Street between Westward Ho Drive and Miles

Scheduled Impact Date - currently in place
Impacts - increased traffic movement in a north -south direction on Adams Street

Starting in September, 1996, the High School will have four classes (add Senior),
of which two classes will be eligible.
Safety Issues
Although the current configuration of the Washington Street/Avenue 48 intersection provides for
adequate sight distance for westbound traffic turning left onto Washington Street, motorist are
required to cross a right turn lane, two northbound lanes and the center turning lane while, at the
same time, negotiate approaching traffic in the southbound lanes of Washington Street. These
conditions develop driver anxiety. Driver anxiety has, in some cases, lead to severe accidents, as the
driver becomes confused and disoriented. This is very similar to the conditions reported recently by
motorist using the Fred Waring/Adams Street and Miles Avenue/Adams Street intersection prior to
the installation of traffic signal improvements. Driver anxiety conditions at the intersection of Avenue
48 and Washington Street is supported by two recent vehcile acidents at this intersection. In both
cases, the Avenue 48 vehicle violated intersection right-of-way, resulting in broadside collisions.
Further compounding the driver anxiety of the Washington Street/Avenue 48 intersection are two
additional components. As mentioned earlier, a large number of the motorist using two legs of the
intersection are students driving to and from the La Quinta High School. These drivers are relatively
inexperienced and can be easily confused. As westbound motorists approach Washington Street and
view approaching southbound traffic coming from the north, they are required to look across the
center median. Currently, the median is unlandscaped. However, the median island is schedule to
be fully landscaped by July 1997. Although sight distance will still be adequate for a safe turning
movement from Adams Street intto southbound lanes of Washington Street after installation of
landscaping in the median island, it will further increase driver anxiety.
F:%PW DEPT\PROJECTS\FY9697ST\SGNLSTDY. W PD
Summary
There is evidence to support the need for traffic signal improvements at the intersection of
Washington Street and Avenue 48, as demonstrated by a number of City policies, traffic conditions
and safety concerns previously outlined in this report. The City policies are currently in place and
enforceable. Safety concerns will continue to increase as traffic increases on Washington Street and
Avenue 48. Traffic conditions currently meet warrant 11, Peak Hour Delay, and will begin to support
other warrants for traffic signal improvements as additional development occurs along Avenue 48.
Closing
Based upon the warrants study prepared utilizing December 1996 traffic data, warrant 1 lhas been
met. Based upon additional warrants being met by July of 1997 and the need to have a signal
operational when warrants are met, the following schedule would indicate that design of these
improvements needs to begin in the very near future:

PUBLIC HEARING:
Approve the recommendation of the Art in Public Places Commission for the artwork,
authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract, and approve the appropriation of APP
funds in an amount not to exceed $35,000.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
An amount of $35,000 would be appropriated from the APP fund. The current APP funds
available are $102,727.59 (Account No. 701-000-255-210).
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
The City Council at its meeting of December 3, 1996, considered this recommendation of
the APP and following discussion, referred the item back to the Commission for further
consideration and redesign. The item was taken to the APP on December 9, 1996, at
which time the Commission unanimously approved the redesign (Attachment 1) submitted
by Mr. Fernandez.
The redesign submitted by Mr. Fernandez consists of two palm trees connected together
by an arch from which three swings will hang. The Pinata element will be made a part of
the palm tree. Animals indigenous to the desert will be sculpted and attached across the
arch to appear traveling across the top of the swings. Sculpted animals (yet to be
determined) will also be attached at the base of each palm tree. Each animal is proposed
to have a depth of between 10 to 18 inches; from the top of the arch to the grass it will be
13 feet; and the distance between the two palm trees approximately 25 feet.
In addition to the swings, Mr. Fernandez has stated that he will construct and build a slide
in the same design utilizing the palm trees and animals. The palm trees will hold the slide
with indigenous animals (to be determined) across the top. Both art pieces will be
constructed for the total price of $35,000.

Staff and Mr. Fernandez spoke with the Public Works Department to determine a location
within the Fritz Burns Park that would accommodate the artwork. It was determined that
either the area that is designated for the future parking lot (to the east of the existing
parking lot) or the area immediately west and adjacent to the picnic table area. Both sites
are depicted on Attachments 2 and 3. The Commission discussed the potential locations
and agreed with either location.
Mr. Fernandez has been working with an engineering firm to be sure that the design will
meet the City requirements per the Public Works Department. These engineering drawings
will be submitted to Public Works Department for their approval prior to construction and
installation.
The project is anticipated to take four months to complete and is anticipated to be
completed by the first of May, 1997.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
Options available to the City Council are:
1. Approve the recommendation of the APP Commission, authorize the City Manager
to execute the contract, and instruct staff to appropriate the funds in an amount not
to exceed $35,000;
2. Deny the request;
3. Refer the matter back to the APP; or
4. Provide staff with direction.

ARTICLE II. TIME OF PERFORMANCE
2.1 Site Construction Delays. If, when fabrication of the Artwork is completed in
accordance with the approved Schedule of Performance (Exhibit B), and Artist notifies the City
that the Artwork is ready for installation, and installation is delayed as a result of the construction
of the Site Location not being sufficiently complete to permit installation of the Artwork thereon,
the City shall promptly reimburse the Artist for reasonable transportation and/or storage costs
which were incurred during the time period provided in the Schedule of Performance (Exhibit B),
for commencement of installation and the date upon which the Site Location is complete
reasonably to permit installation of the Artwork, which sufficiency shall be determined at the sole
and absolute discretion of the City.
2.2 Early Completion of Artist Services. The Artist shall bear any transportation and
storage costs resulting from the completion of the Artwork prior to the time provided for such
completion as set forth in the Schedule of Performance (Exhibit B), and for transportation and
storage costs otherwise required by this Agreement to be paid by Artist.
2.3 Time Extensions. Time is of the essence in this Agreement. Artist and the City
agree to punctually and diligently perform all their obligations under this Agreement, except
Artist's performance dates shall be subject to change by the City as reasonably deemed necessary
or convenient to the overall progress of the completion of the Master Project. Artist shall confer
with the City, or others designated by the City, to coordinate the installation of the Artwork with
other phases of the work being completed within the Master Project so as to expeditiously
undertake and perform the Artist's obligations at the time most beneficial to the completion of the
Master Project.
It is hereby understood that the time for the completion of all work provided for in
this Agreement is the schedule provided in the Schedule of Performance (Exhibit B), excluding
Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, subject, however, to delays caused by reason of a suspension
ordered in writing by the City or because of any other act or neglect of the City, or their officers
or employees without contributory fault or negligence on the part of Artist or his agents or
employees or subcontractors, or if the work should be delayed by fire, storm, flood or other acts
of God, by war or act of public enemies, by restriction of the use of, procurement of, or inability
to obtain materials, by strikes, by unusual delay in transportation, unavoidable casualties or any
cause beyond the control and without the fault and negligence of Artist, or for any other reason
which, in the opinion of the City, is proper justification for delay. The time for completion shall
be extended for the length of time equal to the delay caused by any of the above -mentioned causes;
provided, however, all claims for extension of time shall be made in writing to the City no more
than ten (10) days after the occurrence of the delay, otherwise, such claim for a delay shall be
waived by the Artist. Artist shall provide in its notice an estimate of the probable effect of such

000076
Art Purchase Agreement
delay on the progress of its work. It is further understood and agreed that should Artist fail to
furnish the plant, materials, equipment and do and perform all work and labor as herein provided
in the manner herein set forth in good and workmanlike manner, it shall, in addition to any other
penalties provided in the Agreement, be liable to the City for all losses or damages that either may
suffer on account thereof.
In the event Artist at the time refuses or neglects to supply a sufficient number of
properly skilled workers or a sufficient quantity of materials of proper quality, or in effect be
adjudicated bankrupt, or files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or commits any act of
insolvency, or makes an assignment, for benefit or creditors, without the City's consent, or fails
to make prompt payment to his materialmen and laborers, or fails in any respect to properly and
diligently prosecute the work covered by this Agreement, or otherwise fails to perform fully any
and all of the Covenants and obligations herein contained; then the City may, at their option, after
giving twenty-four (24) hours written notice to Artist, provide any such labor and materials as may
be necessary and deduct the cost thereof from any money then due or thereafter to become due to
Artist under this Agreement; or the City may at its option, terminate the Artist's right to proceed
with the work and, in that event, the City shall have the right to enter upon the Artist's warehouse
and take possession, for the purpose of completing the work included under this Agreement, of
the Artwork or any portion thereof, and all materials, tools, and appliances thereon, and may
employ any other person or persons to finish the work and provide the materials therefor. In the
case of such discontinuance of Artist's right to proceed with the work, Artist shall not be entitled
to receive any further payment under this Agreement until the work undertaken by the City is
completely finished. At that time, if the unpaid balance of the amount to be paid under this
Agreement exceeds the expenses incurred by the City in finishing Artist's work, such excess shall
be paid by the City to the Artist, but if such expense shall exceed such unpaid balance, then Artist
shall promptly pay to the City the amount by which such expense shall exceed such unpaid
balance. The expense incurred by the City as herein provided, either for furnishing materials or
for finishing the work, and any damages incurred by the City by reason of Artist's default, shall
be chargeable to, and paid by Artist, and the City shall have a lien upon all materials, tools, and
appliances, taken possession of, as aforesaid, to secure the payment thereof. If the City elects not
to terminate Artist's right to proceed, Artist agrees to reimburse the City for losses or damages
resulting from the delay in speedy progress of work.
If Artist should neglect to prosecute the work properly or fail to perform any
provisions of this Agreement, the City, after three (3) days' written notice to Artist, may without
prejudice to any other remedy it may have, make good such deficiencies and may deduct the cost
thereof from the payment then or thereafter due Artist; provided, however, that the City shall
approve such action and certify the amount thereof to be charged to Artist.

accounted for over $6 million and multifamily permit values were $6.5 million.

with an increase of $100 million during the latest year.
Housine
La Quinta has housing that ranges from the affordable to luxury estates. The median home prices in La
Quinta have been relatively stable and are significantly lower than other areas of the Coachella Valley
mostly due to the reasonably priced land values.

Diego, Los Angeles Counties and the State of California.
There were 500 housing units built during 1995 which brings to 9,352 the number of total units within the

Financial Information
Management of the City of La Quinta is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control
structure designed to ensure that assets of the City are protected from loss, theft, or misuse and to ensure
that adequate accounting data are compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. The internal control structure is designed to provide
reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance
recognizes that: (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the
valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.
Single Audit - As a recipient of federal, state and county financial assistance, the City also is responsible
for ensuring that an adequate internal control structure is in place to ensure compliance with applicable laws
and regulations related to those programs. The internal control structure is subject to periodic evaluation
by management.
As a part of the City's single audit , tests are made to determine the adequacy of the internal control
structure, including that portion relating to Federal assistance programs, as well as to determine that the
government has complied with applicable laws and regulations. The results of the government's single audit
for the fiscal year ended June 30. 1996 provided no instances of material weaknesses in the internal control
structure or significant violations of applicable laws and regulations.
Accounting Controls - The City of La Quinta's accounting system is designed upon the following
principals:
In the public sector, a city government maintains a variety of "funds" that provide the basis for separately
recording the financial data related to a specific activity. A fund is an accounting entity with a complete set
of self -balancing accounting records. Each fund has been established because of some restriction on the use
of the resources received by that fund. In the private sector, a corporation may have many subsidiaries
which make up the parent corporation. Likewise in the public sector, all of the funds make up the complete
vi
000iV
Honorable Mayor, City Council,
and City Manager
financial resources of the City of La Quinta. This report includes the transactions of all entities over which
the City Council of the City of La Quinta has authority (as defined by the Government Accounting
Standards Board).
The City's accounting system operates on a modified accrual basis for all governmental and agency type
funds. Government funds include the General, Special Revenue, Debt Service, and Capital Projects Funds.
Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when received in cash or accrued
when they are both measurable and collectible within the accounting period or soon enough after the end
of the period to pay liabilities of the period, and expenditures, other than interest or long term debt, are
recorded when liabilities are incurred.
The City maintains one Internal Service Fund and no Enterprise Funds. These types of funds use the
accrual method of accounting. Revenues and expenses are recorded when earned or incurred.
In addition to maintaining funds to record accounting transactions, internal controls exist within the
accounting system to ensure the safety of assets from misappropriation, unauthorized use or disposition, and
to maintain the accuracy of financial record keeping. These internal controls must be established consistent
with sound management practices based upon the cost/benefit of the controls imposed. The cost of a control
should not be excessive to its derived benefit as viewed by City management. The internal controls in
existence at the City of La Quinta are sufficient to ensure in all material respects both the safety of the City's
assets and the accuracy of the financial record keeping system.
Budgetary Controls

Gann Limit - Appropriations Subject to the Limit
In 1979, Proposition 4, the "Gann" initiative, was passed by the voters of California. The purpose of this
law was to limit government spending by putting a cap on the total proceeds of taxes that may be
appropriated each year. This limit is increased each year through a formula that takes into consideration
changes in the Consumer Price Index and state per -capita income. If a city reaches this limit, excess tax
revenue must be returned to the State or citizens through a process of refunds, rebates, or other means that
may be defined at that time. The Gann Limit for the City of La Quinta has increased steadily since 1979
and still provides the City with a comfortable operating margin.
In 1991-92 state law allowed the recalculation of the City's limit with new inflation factors. Using
population growth in the City of La Quinta and growth in the State per capita income allowed the Gann limit
for 1995-96 to increase to $20.5 million. Appropriations of "proceeds of taxes" was $ 7.5 million for a
margin of $13.0 million.

Services. This increase is a result of Council's desire to increase Community Service programs to the
public.

economic development and the Assistant City Manager's position, vacant in 1994-95. being filled in 1995-
96. Public Safetv�s expenditures showed little change in 1995-96. Community Services large increase o'
107.5% reflects numerous program additions offered to the public. Planning & Development decrease o.
15.8% is a result of increased personnel reimbursement from the Redevelopment Agency which decreased
Planning & Development's net expenditures. Public Works expenditures increased 41.1% in 1995-96
because $200.000 of State Gas Tax funding was directed to a capital improvement project and was not used
to reimburse (reduce) Public Works expenditures as in 1994-95. Capital OutlU decreased 28.6% in 1995-96
as a result of decreased new computer purchases in 1995-96.

income fund tax increment. Intergovernmental decreased 18.3% reflecting a loss of CDBG funding for
construction of a senior center facility, due to its completion. The decrease in Developer Fees of 96.1%
reflects lack of activity in developments that involve Quimby fees under the Quimby Act . Interest had a
large increase of 251.7% due to larger cash balances because of a land sale. Rental Income increased in
1995-96 as a result of the La Quinta Redevelopment Low and Moderate income program purchasing 50
rental units and renting them out to qualified applicants. The large increase in Miscellaneous revenue is due
to $242,000 in subsidy reimbursements to the La Quinta Redevelopment Low and Moderate income

increment. The decrease in Intergovernmental revenue reflects fewer contract service fees charged by

to renegotiated higher payments on one of the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency's tax increment pass
through agreements. Rental income is 18.3% lower in 1995-96 due to the La Quinta Financing
Authority using interest earnings to offset lower rent charges to the City for the City Hall complex.

Independent Auditors' Report
We have audited the accompanying general purpose financial statements of the City of
La Quinta, California as of and for the year ended June 30, 1996, as listed in the table of
contents. These general purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the management of
the City of La Quinta, California. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these general
purpose financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards;
Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the
provisions of Office of Management and Budget Circular A-128, "Audits of State and Local
Governments." Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the aforementioned general purpose financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the City of La Quinta, California as of
June 30, 1996, and the results of its operations for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose financial
statements taken as a whole. The combining and individual funds financial statements and
schedules listed in the table of contents are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are
not a required part of the general purpose financial statements of the City of La Quinta,
California. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the general purpose financial statements, and in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the general purpose financial statements taken as a whole. The scope of
our audit did not include the supplemental statistical schedules listed in the table of contents and
we do not express an opinion on them.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the
United States, we have also issued a report dated August 20, 1996 on our consideration of the
City's internal control structure and a report dated August 20, 1996 on its compliance with laws
and regulations.

CITY OF LA QUINTA
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 1996
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Reporting Entity
The City of La Quinta was incorporated May 1, 1982 under the general laws of
the State of California. The City operates under the Council - Manager form of
government.
The City provides many community services including public safety, highway and
street maintenance, health and social services, cultural and leisure services, public
improvements, planning and zoning services, and community development
services.
The accounting policies of the City conform to generally accepted accounting
principles as applicable to governments. As required by general accepted
accounting principles, these financial statements present the government and its
component units, entities for which the government is considered to be financially
accountable. The City is considered to be financially accountable for an
organization if the City appoints a voting majority of that organization's
governing body and the City is able to impose its will on that organization or
there is a potential for that organization to provide specific financial benefits to or
impose specific financial burdens on the City. The City is also considered to be
financially accountable if an organization is fiscally dependent (i.e., it is unable to
adopt its budget, levy taxes, set rates or charges, or issue bonded debt without
approval from the City). In certain cases, other organizations are included as
component units if the nature and significance of their relationship with the City
are such that their exclusion would cause the City's financial statements to be
misleading or incomplete.
All of the City's component units are considered to be blended component units.
Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance,
part of the government's operations and so data from these units are reported with
the interfund data of the primary government. The following organizations are
considered to be component units of the City:
La Ouinta Redevelopment Agency
The La Quinta Redevelopment Agency has established two redevelopment project
areas pursuant to the State of California Health & Safety Code Section 33000
entitled "Community Redevelopment Law". On November 29, 1983 and May 16,
1989, the City Council approved and adopted the Redevelopment Plans for the La
Quinta Redevelopment Project Areas No. 1 and No. 2, respectively. These plans
provide for the elimination of blight and deterioration which was found to exist in
the project areas. Even though it is legally separate, it is reported as if it were part
of the City because the City Council also serves as the governing board of the
Agency. Upon completion, separate financial statements of the Agency can be
obtained at City Hall.

Citv of La Ouinta Public Financine Authori
The La Quinta Public Financing Authority (Authority) was established pursuant
to a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement dated November 19, 1991, between the
City of La Quinta and the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency. The purpose of the
Authority is to provide, through the issuance of debt, financing necessary for the
construction of various public improvements. Although it is legally separate, it is
reported as if it were part of the City because the City Council also serves as the
governing board of the Authority. Upon completion, separate financial statements
of the Authority can be obtained at City Hall.
(b) Fund Accountin
The basic accounting and reporting entity is a "fund." A fund is defined as an
independent fiscal and accounting entity with a self -balancing set of accounts,
recording resources, related liabilities, obligations, reserves and equities
segregated for the purpose of carrying out specific activities or attaining certain
objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions or limitations.
The accounting records of the City are organized on the basis of funds and
account groups classified for reporting purposes as follows:
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
General Fund
The primary fund of the City used to account for all revenue and expenditures of
the City not legally restricted as to use. A broad range of municipal activities are
provided through this fund including City Manager, City Attorney, Finance,
Administrative Services, Community Development, Police Services, Public
Works, Building and Safety, and Parks and Recreation.
Special Revenue Funds
The Special Revenue Funds are used to account for proceeds of specific revenue
sources that are restricted by law or administrative action for specific purposes.
Debt Service Fund
The Debt Service Funds are used to account for resources set aside for repayment
of general long-term debt.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, (Continued)
Capital Project Funds
Capital Project Funds are used to account for financial resources to be used for the
acquisition or construction of major capital facilities.
PROPRIETARY FUNDS
Internal Service Fund
The Internal Service Fund is used to finance and account for activities involved in
rendering services to departments within the City. Costs of materials and services
used are accumulated in this fund and charged to the user departments as such
goods are delivered or services rendered.
The Equipment Replacement Fund is the only internal service fund in the City. It
is used to account for the ultimate replacement of City owned and operated
vehicles and equipment.
FIDUCIARY FUNDS
Agency
The Agency Funds are used to account for assets held by the City in an agency
capacity for individuals, private businesses and other governmental agencies.
ACCOUNT GROUPS
General Fixed Assets Account Grou
The General Fixed Assets Account Group is used to account for the costs of fixed
assets acquired to perform general government functions.
Assets purchased are recorded as expenditures in the governmental funds and
capitalized at cost in the general fixed assets account group. Fixed asset records
include estimates of original historical cost as determined by knowledgeable
individuals in the City. Contributed fixed assets are recorded in general fixed
assets at fair market value when received. Fixed assets acquired under a capital
lease are recorded at the net present value of future lease payments.

CITY OF LA QUINTA
Notes to the Financial Statements
(Continued)
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, (Continued)
Fixed assets consisting of certain improvements other than buildings, including
roads, bridges, curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks, drainage systems and
lighting systems, have not been capitalized. Such assets normally are immovable
and of value only to the City. Therefore, the purpose of stewardship for capital
expenditures is satisfied without recording these assets.
No depreciation has been provided on general fixed assets.
General Long -Term Debt Account Group
The General Long -Term Debt Account Group is used to account for all long-term
debt of the City.
(c) Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
Governmental (general, special revenue, debt service and capital projects) fund
types are accounted for on a "spending" measurement focus. Accordingly, only
current assets and current liabilities are included on their balance sheets. The
reported fund balance provides an indication of available, spendable resources.
Operating statements for governmental fund types report increases (revenues) and
decreases (expenditures) in available spendable resources.
Agency funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not involve
measurement of results of operations.
The modified accrual basis of accounting is followed by the governmental and
agency funds. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are
susceptible to accrual when they become both measurable and available.
Available means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to
be used to pay liabilities of the current period. Expenditures, other than interest
on long-term debt, are recorded when a current liability is incurred. Liabilities are
considered current when they are normally expected to be liquidated with
expendable available financial resources.
Taxes, subventions, and entitlements held at year-end by an intermediary
collecting government are recognized as revenue under the modified accrual basis
of accounting. Reimbursement grant revenues are recognized when the related
expenditures are incurred. Revenues from interest and rents are recorded when
earned.

CITY OF LA QUINTA
Notes to the Financial Statements
(Continued)
(1) Summary of Simificant Accounting Policies, (Continued)
Material delinquent and total uncollected current year property taxes (net of
estimated uncollectibles) are recorded as current year receivables. Property taxes
(net of estimated uncollectibles) that are levied and measureable in the current
year, but not available to finance current period expenditures, are recorded as a
receivable and as deferred revenues. The deferred revenues are recognized as
revenue in the fiscal year in which they become available.
Licenses, permits, fines, forfeitures, charges for services, and miscellaneous
revenues are recorded as governmental fund revenues when received in cash
because they are generally not measurable until actually received.
The proprietary (internal service) fund types are accounted for on an "income
determination" or "cost of services" measurement focus. Accordingly, all assets
and liabilities are included on the balance sheet, and the reported fund equity
provides an indication of the economic net worth of the fund. Operating
statements for proprietary fund types report increases (revenues) and decreases
(expenses) in total economic net worth.
The accrual basis of accounting is utilized by the proprietary funds. Revenues are
recognized when they are earned and expenses are recorded when the related
liability is incurred. Unbilled service receivables, if material, have been recorded
in the financial statements as an accrued revenue.
(d) Budgetary Data
The City adopts an annual budget prepared on the modified accrual basis of
accounting for all governmental funds except for the South Coast Air Quality,
Financing Authority, Assessment District 91-1, and Assessment District 92-1
Funds and on the accrual basis of account for the proprietary funds. The City
Manager or his designee is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between the
accounts of any department. Revisions that alter the total appropriations of any
department or fund are approved by City Council. Prior year appropriations lapse
unless they are approved for carryover into the following fiscal year.
Expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations at the department level.
Reserves for encumbrances are not recorded by the City of La Quinta.
(e) Interfund Transfers
Nonrecurring transfers of equity between funds are reported as an adjustment to
beginning fund balance. Operating transfers are reported as other sources and
uses of funds in the statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund
balances.

(f) Advances to Other Funds
Long-term interfund advances are recorded as a receivable and in the long-term
debt account group.
(g) Investments
Investments are valued at cost. An estimated loss is accrued for an impairment of
investment market value when it is probable that the loss will become realized and
the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In management's opinion, it is
not probable that the temporary declines in the market value of the City's
investments will become realized because it is management's intention to hold the
investments to maturity or until the market value of the investments equals or
exceeds their cost. Therefore, temporary market value declines are not reflected
in the accompanying financial statements. Any losses resulting from a permanent
decline in investment market values are recorded as a reduction of interest
income.
(h) Due from Other Governments
The amounts recorded as a receivable due from other governments include sales
taxes, property taxes, and grant revenues, collected or provided by Federal, State,
County and City Governments and unremitted to the City as of June 30, 1996.
The County of Riverside assesses, bills, and collects property taxes for the City.
(i) Land Held for Resale
Land held for resale represents property acquired by the Agency for resale. The
property is recorded at original cost. No write -down for a lower market value has
been reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
0) Employee Leave Benefits
Sick time is vested on a percentage based on number of years employed at the
City. Maximum accumulation of sick and vacation is 30 days per type of leave.
Upon termination or retirement, permanent employees are entitled to receive
compensation at their current base salary for all unused vacation leave. If an
employee terminates with a minimum of two years service, the employee is
entitled to receive 25% of the value of his unused sick leave. The percentage
increases by 25% for each five year period until the employee is entitled to 75%
of the value of his unused sick leave. This will occur upon the completion of ten
years of continuous employment.

(k) Claims and Judgments
The City records a liability for material litigation, judgments, and claims
(including incurred but not reported losses) when it is probable that an asset has
been impaired or a material liability has been incurred prior to year end and the
probable amount of loss (net of any insurance coverage or available funds on
deposit) can be reasonably estimated.
(1) Postemployment Benefits
The City does not provide postemployment benefits (other than pension benefits)
for its employees.
(m) Capital Projects
Capital projects expenditures include public domain or infrastructure projects
which are not capitalized as additions to general fixed assets.
(n) Cash Equivalents for Statement of Cash Flows
For purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents are defined as short-
term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known
amounts of cash or so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of
change in value because of changes in interest rates. Investments purchased
within three months of original maturity are considered to be cash equivalents.
Cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying statements include the proprietary
funds' share of the cash and investment pool of the City of La Quinta.
(o) Applicability of FASB Pronouncements to Proprietary Funds
The City applies all applicable GASB pronouncements in accounting and
reporting for its proprietary operations as well as the following pronouncements
issued on or before November 30, 1989, unless these pronouncements conflict
with or contradict GASB pronouncements: Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Statements and Interpretations, Accounting Principles Board
(APB) Opinions, and Accounting Research Bulletins (ARBs) of the Committee
on Accounting Procedures.
(p) Memorandum Only Totals
Columns in the accompanying financial statements captioned "Totals

statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but are
presented as additional analytical data. Interfund balances and transactions have
not been eliminated and the columns do not present consolidated financial

the level of custodial risk assumed by the entity.
Category 1 - includes investments that are insured or registered or for which the securities
are held by the City or the City's custodial agent (which must be a different institution
other than the party through which the City purchased the securities) in the City's name.
Investments held "in the City's name" include securities held in a separate custodial or
fiduciary account and identified as owned by the City in the custodian's internal
accounting records.
Category 2 - includes uninsured and unregistered investments for which the securities are
held in the City's name by the dealer's agent (or by the trust department of the dealer if
the dealer was a financial institution and another department of the institution purchased
the securities for the City).
Category 3 - includes uninsured and unregistered investments for which the securities are
held by the dealer's trust department or agent, but not in the City's name. Category 3 also
includes all securities held by the broker -dealer agent of the City (the party that purchased
the securities for the City) regardless of whether or not the securities are being held in the
City's name.

(33) Property Taxes
Under California law, property taxes are assessed and collected by the counties up to 1%
of assessed value, plus other increases approved by the voters. The property taxes are
recorded initially in a pool, and are then allocated to the cities based on complex
formulas. Accordingly, the City of La Quinta accrues only those taxes which are
received from the County within sixty days after year end.
Lien date March 1
Levy date June 30
Due dates November 1 and February 1
Collection dates December 10 and April 10
The La Quinta Redevelopment Agency's primary sources of revenue comes from
property taxes. Property taxes allocated to the Agency are computed in the following
manner:
(a) The assessed valuation of all property within the project area is determined on the
date of adoption of the Redevelopment Plan.
(b) Property taxes related to the incremental increase in assessed values after the
adoption of the Redevelopment Plan are allocated to the Agency; all taxes on the
"frozen" assessed valuation of the property are allocated to the City and other
districts.
The Agency has no power to levy and collect taxes and any legislative property tax shift
might reduce the amount of tax revenues that would otherwise be available to pay the
principal of, and interest on, debt. Broadened property tax exemptions could have a
similar effect. Conversely, any increase in the tax rate or assessed valuation, or any
reduction or elimination of present exemptions would increase the amount of tax
revenues that would be available to pay principal and interest on debt.

(14) Debt Without Governmental Commitment
The City of La Quinta has entered into the sale of Improvement Bonds issued pursuant to
the California State Improvement Act of 1915. The Bonds are payable from the annual
installments collected on the regular property tax bills sent to owners of property having
unpaid assessments levied against land benefited by the projects. The Bonds are not
general obligations of the City nor any other political subdivision and the full faith and
credit of the City is not pledged for repayment thereof. The City is in no way liable for
repayment of the debt, but is only acting as agent for the property owners in collecting the
assessments, forwarding the collections to bondholders, and does not constitute an
obligation of the City; they are not reflected in the general long-term debt account group
in the accompanying financial statements. The following is a summary of improvement

(17) Deferred Comnensation
The City has made available to its employees a deferred compensation plan, created in
accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457, whereby employees authorize the
City to defer a portion of their salary to be deposited in individual investment accounts.
Funds may be withdrawn by participants upon termination of employment or retirement.
The City makes no contribution under the plan. As of June 30, 1996, the deferred
compensation liability included in an Agency Fund was $546,683 carried at market value.
All amounts of compensation deferred under the plan, all property and rights purchased
with those amounts, and all income attributable to those amounts, property, or rights, are
solely the property and rights of the City, subject only to the claims of the City's general
creditors. Because the City handles these funds in a fiduciary capacity, the Deferred
Compensation Fund is reported as an Agency Fund in the accompanying financial
statements.

(18) City Employees Retirement Plan (Defined Benefit Pension Plan)
Plan Description
The City of La Quinta contributed to the California Public Employees Retirement System
(PERS), an agent multiple -employer defined pension plan that acts as a common
investment and administrative agent for participating public entities within the State of
California. The City's payroll for employees covered by PERS for the year ended June
30, 1996 was $2,595,770. The total payroll for the year was $2,769,453.
All full-time City employees are eligible to participate in PERS. Part-time hourly
employees do not participate in PERS. Benefits vest after five years of service. City
employees who retire at or after age fifty, with five years of credited service are entitled
to an annual retirement benefit, payable monthly for life, in an amount equal to the
average monthly pay rate for the last twelve consecutive months. PERS also provides
death and survivor's benefits. These benefit provisions and all other requirements are
established by State statute and City ordinance.
Employee and Employer Contribution Obligations
Contributions required of City employees are paid by the City on behalf of the
employees. The rates are set by statute and therefore remain unchanged from year to
year. The present rates are:
Member Rates as a
Category Percentage of Wanes
Local miscellaneous members 7%
The City is required to contribute the remaining amounts necessary to fund the benefits
for its members, using the actuarial bases recommended by the PERS actuaries and
actuarial consultants and adopted by the Board of Administration.
Funding Status and Progress
The amount shown below as the "pension benefit obligation" is a standardized measure of
the present value of pension benefits, adjusted for the effects of step -rate benefits,
estimated to be payable in the future as a result of employee service to date. The measure
is intended to help assess the funding status of PERS on a going -concern basis, assess
progress made in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due, and make
comparisons among employers. The measure is the actuarial present value of credited
projected benefits and is independent of the funding method used to determine
contributions to PERS.

(18) City Employees Retirement Plan (Defined Benefit Pension Plan) (Continued)
The pension benefit obligation was computed as part of an actuarial valuation performed
as of June 30, 1995. Neither an actuarial valuation nor an annual update as of June 30,
1996 is available at this time. Significant actuarial assumptions used in the valuation
include (a) a rate of return on the investment of present and future assets of 8.5 percent a
year compounded annually, (b) projected salary increases of 4.5 percent a year
compounded annually, attributable to inflation, (c) no additional projected salary
increases attributable to seniority/merit, and (d) no post retirement benefit increases.
The total overfunded pension obligation applicable to the City employees was $538,118
at June 30, 1995, as follows:
Pension benefit obligation:
Retirees and beneficiaries currently receiving
benefits and terminated employees not yet
receiving benefits
Current employees:
Accumulated employee contribution including
allocated investment earnings

Employer -financed non -vested
Total pension benefit obligation

PERS used the Entry Age Normal Actuarial Cost Method which is a projected benefit
cost method. That is, it takes into account those benefits that are expected to be earned in
the future as well as those already accrued.

CITY OF LA QUINTA
Notes to the Financial Statements
(Continued)
(18) City Employees Retirement Plan (Defined Benefit Pension Plan) (Continued)
According to this cost method, the normal cost for an employee is the level amount which
would fund the projected benefit if it were paid annually from date of employment until
retirement. PERS uses a modification of the Entry Age Cost method in which the
employer's total normal cost is expressed as a level percent of payroll. PERS also uses
the level percentage of payroll method to amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities. The
amortization period of the unfunded actuarial liability ends in the year 2000 for prior
service benefits and current service benefits.
The significant actuarial assumptions used to compute the actuarially determined
contribution requirement are the same as those used to compute the pension benefit
obligation, as previously described.
The contribution to PERS for the year ended June 30, 1996 of $424,526 was made in
accordance with actuarially determined contribution rates provided to the City before the
beginning of the fiscal year and based upon an actuarial valuation performed as of June
30, 1994. The contribution consisted of the following:

contribution paid by the City included the employer contributions as well as the member
contribution for which the City is contractually obligated to pay on behalf of its
employees. The total contributions paid by the City was based upon actuarially
determined requirements.

Since the required ten-year information for the City of La Quinta alone is not displayed in
the California PERS annual report, this information must be disclosed in the financial
statements of the City. This ten-year historical trend information gives an indication of
the progress made in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due. However,
the year ended June 30, 1987 is the first year that this actuarial information was made
available by PERS. Moreover, such information for the year ended June 30, 1996 is not
yet available. Until ten years of data are available, as many years as are available will be
presented. Showing unfunded pension benefit obligation as a percentage of annual
covered payroll approximately adjusts for the effects of inflation, thereby enhancing
comparability for trend analysis purposes. Available trend information (in hundreds) is

(19) Claims Payable/Self Insurance
The Coachella Valley Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CVJPIA) was formed under a
joint exercise of powers agreement between local governments and special districts under
the sponsorship of the Coachella Valley Association of Governments for the purpose of
jointly funding insurance programs. The CVJPIA is composed of twenty-five cities and
one transit agency with equal governing powers and no management authority. The City
of La Quinta joined the CVJPIA in order to achieve long term premium stability. Each
member city must remain in the pool for three years and may be assessed up to three
times their annual premium if the need arises. The likelihood of the need for excess
premiums is remote given the claims history of the cities involved and the length of time
necessary to settle large claims. Generally, individual claims in excess of the self -insured
amount for workers' compensation and general liability (up to a maximum of $5,000,000
per incident) fall under the insurance policies purchased by the City. The CVJPIA
provides for liability insurance coverage in excess of $125,000 with a maximum of
$10,000,000 per claim. Subsequent to June 30, 1996, the City reduced its retention from
$125,000 to $0. As of June 30, 1996, the City's year end deposit with CVJPIA exceeded
its liability for claims payable and therefore no liability for claims payable has been
recorded in the general long-term debt account group. In addition, for the past two years,
claim payments have not exceeded the amount of applicable insurance coverage.
(20) Accumulated Fund Deficits
The Special Revenue Quimby Fund reported a deficit fund balance of $5,337. The
Capital Project Redevelopment Agency - Project Area No. 1 Fund reported a deficit fund
balance of $20,526.
(21) Expenditures in Excess of Appropriations
Expenditures for the year ended June 30, 1996 exceeded the appropriations of the

(22) Commitments Under Development Agreements
Washington/Adams
The Agency has entered into an Owner Participation Agreement (OPA) with
Washington/Adams, a California limited partnership. In this Agreement,
Washington/Adams is responsible for the development of a retail center located at the
intersection of Washington Avenue and Highway 111. The Agency and
Washington/Adams are to share in specific infrastructure improvements, with the Agency
being responsible for a maximum of $3,156,000. In addition, the Agency agrees to
reimburse Washington/Adams a maximum of $575,460 for engineering design, permit
fees, plan checks and inspections, and general contractor fees. As of June 30, 1996,
$1,820,357 remains to be expended under this agreement for infrastructure improvement
costs to be incurred in future fiscal years.
(23) Contingencies
Various claims and suits have been filed against the City in the normal course of
operations. Although the outcome of these lawsuits is not presently determinable, in the
opinion of management, the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse
effect on the financial position of the City.

ITEM TITLE: Authorization to Record Irrevocable Offer STUDY SESSION:
of Dedication of Highway 111 Right of Way - Auto
Liquidators PUBLIC HEARING:
Authorize staff to record the irrevocable offer of dedication of Highway 111 right-of-
way.
None.
The "Auto Liquidators" car lot, located on the north side of Highway 111 west of Dune Palms,
was approved via Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 95-022. One condition of the City's approval
was that the owner offer to dedicate property for future Highway 111 right-of-way.
The offer (Attachment 1), when accepted by future Council action, will dedicate the required
property to the City in fee simple and satisfy the developers condition for dedication.
The Irrevocable Offer of Dedication satisfies the City's condition for right-of-way from this
development. Recordation of the offer will help ensure that the offer remains valid and will
provide constructive notice to potential property purchasers of the pending conversion of the
area to right-of-way.
City Council alternatives are:
Authorize staff to record the irrevocable offer of dedication of Highway 111 right-of-
way to ensure that right-of-way is available when needed for the future Highway 111
widening and constructive notice is given to potential property purchasers.

ITEMTITLE: Approval Of Four -Way Stop Sign
Installation at the Calle Tampico/Desert Club Drive
Intersection.
AGENDA CATEGORY:
BUSINESS SESSION:
CONSENT CALENDAR:
STUDY SESSION:
PUBLIC HEARING:
Approve installation of a four-way stop as an interim measure if the traffic signal that
is currently under construction is not installed and functional prior to commencement
of classes at John Adams Elementary School.
Approximately $1,500 for the cost to purchase two 36", high -intensity reflective stop
signs and paint and remove temporary "STOP" bars and legends, all of which is
provided for within the Public Works Department's budget for equipment, supplies,
and maintenance.
Currently, the signalization of the intersection of Calle Tampico and Desert Club Drive
is underway. The Paul Gardner Corporation is under contract by Affiliated
Construction Company to install these signals which are associated with
improvements related to the E. G. Williams development project: "The Seasons"
(Tract 28019). Completion of the traffic signal at this intersection may be delayed
until the contractor receives the signal poles which are currently on order and
expected to be received sometime after the first of the year.
John Adams Elementary School, which is currently under construction one block
north of the subject intersection, is expected to be completed early next year and
receive students for the next school term. In the event the Calle Tampico/Desert Club
Drive signal is not completed one week prior to commencement of classes at the new
school, it is recommended that a temporary four-way stop be installed as an interim
traffic control measure. The city will also install temporary amber flashing beacons,
signage, and "STOP" legends to alert the motorists of the four-way stop. The four-
way stop improvements will be removed when the signal is completed and functional.

The School District has not indicated to the City a need for a crossing guard at this
intersection, although they are currently reviewing suggested routes to school and
may request the City to participate in a crossing guard program at this location and
at other locations in the future.
1. Approve the installation of a temporary four-way stop at the intersection of
Calle Tampico and Desert Club Drive as an interim measure if the traffic signal
that is currently under construction is not installed and functional prior to
commencement of classes at John Adams Elementary School. The stop signs
will remain in place until the construction of the traffic signal at the intersection
is completed and the signals are functional.
2. Deny approval of the installation of a four-way stop as an interim measure prior
to completion of the traffic signal at the intersection of Calle Tampico and
Desert Club Drive, and provide staff with additional direction.

ITEM TITLE:
Adoption of Resolution Approving ICMA
Deferred Compensation Plan
RECOMMENDATION:
BUSINESS SESSION:
CONSENT CALENDAR:
STUDY SESSION:
PUBLIC HEARING:
Adopt the resolution approving ICMA Deferred Compensation Plan.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
The City of La Quinta has a deferred compensation plan with ICMA (International
City/County Management Association) in which employees may elect to defer the
payment of income taxes to a future date for contributions made. Recent changes
in the tax law now provide for greater safety and flexibility for employees assets in
the plan.
Key changes in the plan include that no part of contributions or income shall revert
to the City of La Quinta or for any other benefit except for the participant. This
change was allowed by Congress as a result of the Orange County bankruptcy and
the possibility that creditors would claim the assets in the County deferred
compensation plan.
Another key change is the possibility to make loans for employees as defined in
Article VIII loans to Participants. The U.S. Treasury Department has not issued
guidelines for IRS Section 457 loans, however, we will be receiving more detailed
information on loans (including loan guidelines) in the upcoming months.
The Deferred Compensation Plan has furnished the City a model resolution which
was subsequently modified to be consistent with the City's resolution format.
Additionally, plan documents provided by the Deferred Compensation Plan
(Attachment No. 1) have been provided with the staff report. � r% n
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives available to the City Council are:
Adopt the resolution approving the ICMA Deferred Compensation Plan;
2. Do not adopt the resolution.

income, gains, losses, or increases or decreases in market
value attributable to the Employer's investment of the
Participant's Deferred Compensation, and further
reflecting any distributions to the Participant or the
Participant's Beneficiary and any fees or expenses
charged against such Participant's Deferred Compensa-
tion.
2.02 Accounting Date: Each business day that the New
York Stock Exchange is open for trading, as provided in
Section 6.06 for valuing the Trust's assets.
2,03 Administrator: The person or persons named to
carry out certain nondiscretionary administrative func-
tions under the Plan, as hereinafter described. The
Employer may remove any person as Administrator
upon 60 days' advance notice in writing to such person,
in which case the Employer shall name another person
or persons to act as Administrator. The Administrator
may resign upon 60 days' advance notice in writing to
the Employer, in which case the Employer shall name
another person or persons to act as Administrator.
2.04 Beneficiary: The person or persons designated by
the Participant in his Joinder Agreement who shall
receive any benefits payable hereunder in the event of
the Participant's death. In the event that the Participant
names two or more Beneficiaries, each Beneficiary shall
be entitled to equal shares of the benefits payable at the
Participant's death, unless otherwise provided in the
Participant's Joinder Agreement. If no beneficiary is
designated in the Joinder Agreement, if the Designated
Beneficiary predeceases the Participant, or if the desig-
nated Beneficiary does not survive the Participant for a
period of fifteen (15) days, then the estate of the Par-
ticipant shall be the Beneficiary.

2.09 Normal Compensation: The amount of compensa-
tion which would be payable to a Participant by the
Employer for a taxable year if no Joinder Agreement

2.10 Normal Retirement Age: Age 70-1/2, unless the
Participant has elected an alternate Normal Retirement
Age by written instrument delivered to the Administra-
tor prior to Separation from Service. A Participant's
Normal Retirement Age determines the period during
which a Participant may utilize the catch-up limitation
of Section 5.02 hereunder. Once a Participant has to
any extent utilized the catch-up limitation of Section
5.02, his Normal Retirement Age may not be changed.

not be earlier than the earliest date that the Participant
will become eligible to retire and receive unreduced
retirement benefits under the Employer's basic retire-
ment plan covering the Participant and may not be later
than the date the Participant will attain age 70-1/2. If a
Participant continues employment after attaining age
70-1/2, not having previously elected alternate Normal
Retirement Age, the Participant's alternate Normal
Retirement Age shall not be later than the mandatory
retirement age, if any, established by the Employer, or
the age at which the Participant actually separates from
service if the Employer has no mandatory retirement
age. If the Participant will not become eligible to
receive benefits under a basic retirement plan main-
tained by the Employer, the Participant's alternate
Normal Retirement Age may not be earlier than age 55
and may not be later than age 70-1/2.

Plan pursuant. to the requirements of Article IV.
2.12 Plan Year: The calendar year.

following shall have occurred with respect to a partici-
pant: Separation from Service and attainment of age 65.
2.14 Separation From Service: Severance of the
Participant's employment with the Employer which
constitutes a "separation from service" within the
meaning of Section 402(d)(4)(A)(iii) of the Code. In
general, a Participant shall be deemed to have severed
his employment with the Employer for purposes of this
Plan when, in accordance with the established practices of
the Employer, the employment relationship is considered
to have actually terminated. In the case of a Participant
who is an independent contractor of the Employer,
Separation from Service shall be deemed to have oc-
curred when the Participant's contract under which
services are performed has completely expired and
terminated, there is no foreseeable possibility that the
Employer will renew the contract or enter into a new
contract for the Participant's services, and is not antici-
pated that the Participant will become an Employee of
the Employer.
2.15 Trust: The Trust created under Article VI of the
Plan which shall consist of all compensation deferred
under the Plan, plus any income and gains thereon, less
any losses, expenses and distributions to Participants and
Beneficiaries.

deference permitted by applicable law.
3.02 Duties of Administrator: The Administrator, as
agent for the Employer, shall perform nondiscretionary
administrative functions in connection with the Plan,
including the maintenance of Participants' Accounts,
the provision of periodic reports of the status of each
Account, and the disbursement of benefits on behalf
of the Employer in accordance with the provisions of
this Plan.
ARTICLE IV. PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN
4.01 Initial Participation: An Employee may become a
Participant by entering into a Joinder Agreement prior
to the beginning of the calendar month in which the
Joinder Agreement is to become effective to defer
compensation not yet earned.
4.02 Amendment of Joinder Agreement: A Participant
may amend an executed Joinder Agreement to change
the amount of compensation not yet earned which is to
be deferred (including the reduction of such future
deferrals to zero) or to change his investment preference
(subject to such restrictions as may result from the
nature of terms of any investment made by the Em-
ployer). Such amendment shall become effective as of

under Section 457 of the Code which is properly taken

6.06 Valuation of Accounts: As of each Accounting
Date, the Plan assets held in each investment fund
offered shall be valued at fair market value and the
investment income and gains or losses for each fund
shall be determined. Such investment income and gains
or losses shall be allocated proportionately among all
Account balances on a fund -by -fund basis. The alloca-
tion shall be in the.proportion that each such Account
balance as of the immediately preceding Accounting
Date bears to the total of all such Account balances as of
that Accounting Date. For purposes of this Article, all
Account balances include the Account balances of all
Participants and Beneficiaries.
6.07 Participant Loan Accounts: Participant Loan
Accounts shall be invested in accordance with Section
8.03 of the Plan. Such Accounts shall not share in any
investment income and gains or losses of the investment
funds described in Sections 6.05 and 6.06.
6.08 Crediting of Accounts: The Participant's Account
shall reflect the amount and value of the investments or
other property obtained by the Employer through the
investment of the Participant's Deferred Compensation
pursuant to Sections 6.05 and 6.06. It is anticipated that
the Employer's investments with respect to a Participant
will conform to the investment preference specified in
the Participant's Joinder Agreement, but nothing herein
shall be construed to require the Employer to make any
particular investment of a Participant's Deferred Com-
pensation. Each Participant shall receive periodic
reports, not less frequently than annually, showing the
then current value of his/her Account.
6.09 Transfers:
(a) Incoming Transfers: A transfer may be accepted
from an eligible deferred compensation plan main-
tained by another employer and credited to a
Participant's Account under the Plan if (I) the
Participant has separated from service with that
employer and become an Employee of the Em-
ployer, and (ii) the other employer's plan provides
that such transfer will be made. The Employer may
require such documentation from the predecessor
plan as it deems necessary to effectuate the transfer,
to confirm that such plan is an eligible deferred
compensation plan within the meaning of Section
457 of the Code, and to assure that transfers are
provided for under such plan. The Employer may
refuse to accept a transfer in the form of assets other
than cash, unless the Employer and the Administra-
tor agree to hold such other assets under the Plan.
Any such transferred amount shall be treated as a
deferral subject to the limitations of Article V,
except that, for purposes of applying the limitations
of Sections 5.01 and 5.02, an amount deferred
during any taxable year under the plan from which
the transfer is accepted shall be treated as if it has
been deferred under this Plan during such taxable
year and compensation paid by the transferor em-
ployer shall be treated as if it had been paid by the
Employer.
(b) Outgoing Transfers: An amount may be trans-
ferred to an eligible deferred compensation plan
maintained by another employer, and charged to a
Participant's Account under this Plan, if (I) the
Participant has separated from service with the
Employer and become an employee of the other
employer, (ii) the other employer's plan provides
that such transfer will be accepted, and (iii) the
Participant and the employers have signed such
agreements as are necessary to assure that the
Employer's liability to pay benefits to the Partici-
pant has been discharged and assumed by the other
employer. The Employer may require such docu-
mentation from the other plan as it deems necessary
to effectuate the transfer, to confirm that such plan
is an eligible deferred compensation plan within the
meaning of section 457 of the Code, and to assure
that transfers are provided for under such plan. Such
transfers shall be made only under such circum-
stances as are permitted under section 457 of the
Code and the regulations thereunder.
6.10 Employer Liability: In no event shall the
Employer's liability to pay benefits to a Participant
under this Plan exceed the value of the amounts cred-
ited to the Participant's Account; neither the Employer
nor the Administrator shall be liable for losses arising
from depreciation or shrinkage in the value of any
investments acquired under this Plan.

in accordance with one of the payment options de-
scribed in Section 7.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
but subject to the following paragraph of this Section
7.01, the Participant may irrevocably elect within 60
days following Separation from Service to have the
distribution of benefits commence on a fixed determin-
able date other than that described in the preceding
sentence which is at least 61 days after Separation from
Service, but not later than April 1 of the year following
the year of the Participant's Retirement or attainment
of age 70-1/2, whichever is later. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 7.01, no election to
defer the commencement of benefits after a separation
from service shall operate to defer the distribution of
any amount in the Participant's Loan Account in the
event of a default of the Participant's loan.
Effective on or after January t, 1997, the Participant
may elect to defer the commencement of distribution of
benefits to a fixed determinable date later than the date
described above, but not later than April 1 of the year
following the year of the Participant's retirement or
attainment of age 70-1/2, whichever is later, provided
(a) such election is made after the 61st day following
Separation from Service and before commencement of
distributions and (b) the Participant may make only one
(1) such election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Administrator, in order to ensure the orderly adminis-
tration of this provision, may establish a deadline after
which such election to defer the commencement of
distribution of benefits shall not be allowed.
7.02 Payment Options: As provided in Sections 7.01,
7.04 and 7.05, a Participant or Beneficiary may elect to
have value of the Participant's Account distributed in

Employer.
(0 A split distribution under which payments under
options (a), (b), (c) or (e) commence or are made at
the same time, as elected by the Participant under

(or are made) by the latest benefit commencement
date under Section 7.01 and that once a payment is
made subsequent payments will be made in substan-
tially nonincreasing amounts.
(g) Any payment option elected by the Participant
and agreed to by the Employer and Administrator,
provided that such option must provide for substan-
tially nonincreasing payments for any period after
the benefit commencement date under Section 7.01
A Participant's or Beneficiary's selection of a payment
option made after December 31, 1995, under Subsec-
tions (a), (c), or (g) above may include the selection of
an automatic annual cost -of -living increase. Such
increase will be based on the rise in the Consumer Price
Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) from the third
quarter of the last year in which a cost -of -living in-
crease was provided to the third quarter of the current
year. Any increase will be made in periodic payment
checks beginning the following January. The first cost -
of -living increase will be based on the rise in the CPI-U
from the third quarter of 1995 to the third quarter of
1996, and will be applied to amounts paid beginning
January 1997.
A Participant's or Beneficiary's election of a payment

above for a period of five years or such shorter period of
time necessary to ensure that the amount of any install-
ment is not less than $1,200 per year, without the
inclusion of a cost -of -living increase.
7.03 Limitation on Options: No payment option may be
selected by a Participant under subsections 7.02(a) or (c)
unless the amount of any installment is not less than
$1,200 per year. No payment option may be selected
by a Participant or Beneficiary under Sections 7.02,
7.04, or 7.05 unless it satisfies the requirements of
Sections 401(a)(9) and 457(d)(2) of the Code, including
that payments commencing before the death of the
Participant shall satisfy the incidental death benefits
requirement under section 457(d)(2)(B)(i)(I). A cost -of -
living increase included as part of a payment option
selected under Section 7.02 shall not be considered to
fail to satisfy the requirement under section 457(d)(2)(b)
that any distribution made over a period of more than 1
year can only be made in substantially nonincreasing
amounts. Unless otherwise elected by the Participant
(or spouse, in the case of distributions described in
Section 7.05 below) by the time distributions are
required to begin, life expectancies shall be recalculated
annually. Such election shall be irrevocable as to the
Participant (or spouse) and shall apply to all subsequent
years. The life expectancy of a nonspouse Beneficiary
may not be recalculated.
7.04 Post -retirement Death Benefits:
(a) Should the Participant die after he/she has begun
to receive benefits under a payment option, the
remaining payments, if any, under the payment
option shall be payable to the Participant's Benefi-
ciary within the 30-day period commencing with
the 61st day after the Participant's death, unless the
Beneficiary elects payment under a different pay-
ment option that is available under Section 7.02
within 60 days of the Participant's death. Any
different payment option elected by a Beneficiary
under this section must provide for payments at a
rate that is at least as rapid under the payment
option that was applicable to the Participant. In no
event shall the Employer or Administrator be liable
to the Beneficiary for the amount of any payment
made in the name of the Participant before
the Administrator receives proof of death of the
Participant.
(b) If the designated Beneficiary does not continue
to live for the remaining period of payments under
the payment option, then the commuted value of
any remaining payments under the payment option
shall be paid in a lump sum to the estate of the
Beneficiary. In the event that the Participant's estate
is the Beneficiary, the commuted value of any
remaining payments under the payment option shall
be paid to the estate in a lump sum.
7.05 Pre -retirement Death Benefits:
(a) Should the Participant die before he has begun
to receive the benefits provided by Section 7.01, the
value of the Participant's Account shall be payable
to the Beneficiary commencing within the 30-day
period commencing on the 91st day after the
Participant's death, unless the Beneficiary elects a
different fixed or determinable benefit commence-
ment date within 90 days of the Participant's death.
Such benefit commencement date shall be not later
than the later of (I) December 31 of the year fol-
lowing the year of the Participant's death, or (ii) if
the Beneficiary is the Participant's spouse, Decem-
ber 31 of the year in which the Participant would
have attained age 70-1/2.
(b) Unless a Beneficiary elects a different payment
option prior to the benefit commencement date,
death benefits under this Section shall be paid in
approximately equal annual installments over five
years, or over such shorter period as may be neces-
sary to assure that the amount of any annual install-
ment is not less than $3,500. A Beneficiary shall be
treated as if he/she were a Participant for purposes
of determining the payment options available under
Section 7.02, provided, however, that the payment
option chosen by the Beneficiary must provide for
payments to the Beneficiary over a period no longer
than the life expectancy of the Beneficiary, and
provided that such period may not exceed (15) years
if the Beneficiary is not the Participant's spouse.
(c) In the event that the Beneficiary dies before the
payment of death benefits has commenced or been
completed, the remaining value of the Participant's
Account shall be paid to the estate of the Benefi-
ciary in a lump sum. In the event that the
Participant's estate is the Beneficiary, payment shall
be made to the estate in a lump sum.

7.06 Unforeseeable Emergencies: ARTICLE VIII. LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS
(a) In the event an unforeseeable emergency occurs,
a Participant may apply to the Employer to receive
that part of the value of his/her Account that is
reasonably needed to satisfy the emergency need. If
such an application is approved by the Employer,
the Participantshallbe paid only such amount as the
Employer deems necessary to meet the emergency
need, but payment shall not be made to the extent
that the financial hardship may be relieved through
cessation of deferral under the Plan, insurance or
other reimbursement, or liquidation of other assets
to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause
severe financial hardship.
(b) An unforeseeable emergency shall be deemed to
involve only circumstances of severe financial
hardship to the Participant resulting from a sudden
unexpected illness, accident, or disability of the
Participant or of a dependent (as defined in section
152(a) of the Code) of the Participant, loss of the
Participant's property due to casualty, or other
similar and extraordinary unforeseeable circum-
stances arising as a result of events beyond the
control of the Participant. The need to send a
Participant's child to college or to purchase a new
home shall not be considered unforeseeable emer-
gencies. The determination as to whether such an
unforeseeable emergency exists shall be based on the
merits of each individual case.
7.07 Transitional Rule for Pre-1989 Benefit Elections:
In the event that, prior to January 1, 1989, a Participant
or Beneficiary has commenced receiving benefits under
a payment option or has irrevocably elected a payment
option or benefit commencement date, then that pay-
ment option or election shall remain in effect notwith-
standing any other provision of the Plan.
7.08 De Minimis Accounts: Notwithstanding the fore-
going provisions of this Article, if the value of a
Participant's Account does not exceed $3,500 and (a) no
amount has been deferred under the Plan with respect
to the Participant during the 2-year period ending on
the date of the distribution and (b) there has been no
prior distribution under the Plan to the Participant
pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Participant may elect
to receive or the Employer may distribute the Participant's
entire Account without the consent of the Participant.
Such distribution shall be made in a lump sum.
8.01 Availability of Loans to Participants:
(a) Effective January 1, 1997, the Employer may
elect to make loans available to Participants in this
Plan. If the Employer has elected to make loans
available to Participants, a Participant may apply for
a loan from the Plan subject to the limitations and
other provisions of this Article.
(b) The Employer shall establish written guidelines
governing the granting of loans, provided that such
guidelines are approved by the Plan Administrator
and are not inconsistent with the provisions of this
Article, and that loans are made available to all
Participants on a reasonably equivalent basis.
3.02 Terms and Conditions of Loans to Participants:
Any loan by the Plan to a Participant under Section
8.01 of the Plan shall satisfy the following requirements:
(a) Availability. Loans shall be made available to all
Participants on a reasonably equivalent basis.
(b) Interest Rate. Loans must be adequately secured
and bear a reasonable interest rate.
(c) Loan Limit. No Participant loan shall exceed the
present value of the Participant's Account.
(d) Foreclosure. In the event of default on any
installment payment, the outstanding balance of the
loan shall be a deemed distribution. In such event,
an actual distribution of a plan loan offset amount
will not occur until a distributable event occurs in
the Plan.
(e) Reduction of Account. Notwithstanding any
other provision of.this Plan, the portion of the
Participant's Account balance used as a security
interest held by the Plan by reason of a loan out-
standing to the Participant shall be taken into
account for purposes of determining the amount of
the Account balance payable at the time of death or
distribution, but only if the reduction is used as
repayment of the loan.

(f) Amount of Loan. At the time the loan is made,
the principal amount of the loan plus the outstand-
ing balance (principal plus accrued interest) due on
any other outstanding loans to the Participant from
the Plan and from all other plans of the Employer
that are qualified employer plans under section
72(p)(4) of the Code shall not exceed the least of:
(1) $50,000, reduced by the excess (if any) of
(a) The highest outstanding balance of loans
from the Plan during the one (1) year
period ending on the day before the date
on which the loan is made, over
(b) The outstanding balance of loans from the
Plan on the date on which such loan is
made; or
(2) One-half of the value of the Participant's
interest in all of his/her Accounts under
this Plan.
(g) Application for Loan. The Participant must
give the Employer adequate written notice, as
determined by the Employer, of the amount and
desired time for receiving a loan. No more than
one (1) loan may be made by the Plan to a Partici-
pant in any calendar year. No loan shall be ap-
proved if an existing loan from the Plan to the
Participant is in default to any extent.
(h) Length of Loan. Any loan issued shall require
the Participant to repay the loan in substantially
equal installments of principal and interest, at least
monthly, over a period that does not exceed five (5)
years from the date of the loan; provided, however,
that if the proceeds of the loan are applied by the
Participant to acquire any dwelling unit that is to be
used within a reasonable time (determined at the
time the loan is made) after the loan is made as the
principal residence of the Participant, the five (5)
year limit shall not apply. In this event, the period
of repayment shall not exceed a reasonable period
determined by the Employer. Principal installments
and interest payments otherwise due may be sus-
pended for up to one (1) year during an authorized
leave of absence, if the promissory note so provides,
but not beyond the original term permitted under
this Subsection (h), with a revised payment schedule
(within such term) instituted at the end of such
period of suspension.
(i) Prepayment. The Participant shall be permitted
to repay the loan in, whole or in part at any time
prior to maturity, without penalty.
0) Promissory Note. The loan shall be evidenced
by a promissory note executed by the Participant
and delivered to the Employer, and shall bear
interest at a reasonable rate determined by the
Employer.
(k) Security. The loan shall be secured by an
assignment of the Participant's right, title and
interest in and to his/her Account.
(1) Assignment or Pledge. For the purposes of
paragraphs (f) and (g), assignment or pledge of any
portion of the Participant's interest in the Plan and a
loan, pledge, or assignment with respect to any
insurance contract purchased under the Plan, will be
treated as a loan.
(m) Other Terms and Conditions. The Employer
shall fix such other terms and conditions of the loan
as it deems necessary to comply with legal require-
ments, to maintain the qualification of the Plan and
Trust under section 457 of the Code, or to prevent
the treatment of the loan for tax purposes as a
distribution to the Participant. The Employer, in
its discretion for any reason, may fix other terms
and conditions of the loan, not inconsistent with
the provisions of this Article and section 72(p) of
the Code.
8.03 Participant Loan Accounts:
(a) Upon approval of a loan to a Participant by the
Employer, an amount not in excess of the loan shall
be transferred from the Participant's other invest-
ment fund(s), described in Section 6.05 of the Plan,
to the Participant's Loan Account as of the Account-
ing Date immediately preceding the agreed upon
date on which the loan is to be made.
(b) The assets of a Participant's Loan Account may
be invested and reinvested only in promissory notes
received by the Plan from the Participant as consid-
eration for a loan permitted by Section 8.01 of the
Plan or in cash. Uninvested cash balances in a

Participant's Loan Account shall not bear interest.
Neither the Employer, the Administrator, nor any
other person shall be liable for any loss, or by reason
of any breach, that results from the Participant's
exercise of such control.
(c) Repayment of principal and payment of interest
shall be made by payroll deduction or, where
repayment cannot be made by payroll deduction, by
check, and shall be invested in one (1) or more
other investment funds, in accordance with Section
6.05 of the Plan, as of the next Accounting Date
after payment thereof to the Trust. The amount so
invested shall be deducted from the Participant's
Loan Account.
(d) The Employer shall have the authority to
establish other reasonable rules, not inconsistent
with the provisions of the Plan, governing the
establishment and maintenance of Participant Loan
Accounts.
ARTICLE IX NON -ASSIGNABILITY
9.01 In General: Except as provided in Article VIII
and Section 9.02, no Participant or Beneficiary shall
have any right to commute, sell, assign, pledge, transfer
or otherwise convey or encumber the right to receive
any payments hereunder, which payments and rights
are expressly declared to be non -assignable and
non -transferable.
9.02 Domestic Relations Orders:
(a) Allowance of Transfers: To the extent required
under final judgement, decree, or order (including
approval of a property settlement agreement) made
pursuant to a state domestic relations law, any
portion of a Participant's Account may be paid or
set aside for payment to a spouse, former spouse, or
child of the Participant. Where necessary to carry
out the terms of such an order, a separate Account
shall be established with respect to the spouse,
former spouse, or child who shall be entitled to
make investment selections with respect thereto in
the same manner as the Participant; any amount so
set aside for a spouse, former spouse, or child shall
be paid out in a lump sum at the earliest date that
benefits may be paid to the Participant, unless the
order directs a different time or form of payment.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to autho-
rize any amount to be distributed under the Plan at
a time or in a form that is not permitted under
Section 457 of the Code. Any Payment made to a
person other than the Participant pursuant to this
Section shall be reduced by required income tax
withholding; the fact that payment is made to a
person other than the Participant may not prevent
such payment from being includible in the gross
income of the Participant for withholding and
income tax reporting purposes.
(b) Release from Liability to Participant: The
Employer's liability to pay benefits to a Participant
shall be reduced to the extent that amounts have
been paid or set aside for payment to a spouse,
former spouse, or child pursuant to paragraph (a) of
the Section. No such transfer shall be effectuated
unless the Employer or Administrator has been
provided with satisfactory evidence that the Em-
ployer and the Administrator are released from any
further claim by the Participant with respect to such
amounts. The Participant shall be deemed to have
released the Employer and the Administrator from
any claim with respect to such amounts, in any case
in which (i) the Employer or Administrator has been
served with legal process or otherwise joined in a
proceeding relating to such transfer, (ii) the Partici-
pant has been notified of the pendency of such
proceeding in the manner prescribed by the law of
the jurisdiction in which the proceeding is pending
for service of process in such action or by mail from
the Employer or Administrator to the Participant's
last known mailing address, and (iii) the Participant
fails to obtain an order of the court in the proceed-
ing relieving the Employer or Administrator from
the obligation to comply with the judgment, decree,
or order.
(c) Participation in Legal Proceedings: The Em-
ployer and Administrator shall not be obligated to
defend against or set aside any judgement, decree, or
order described in paragraph (a) any legal order
relating to the garnishment of a Participant's ben-
efits, unless the full expense of such legal action is
borne by the Participant. In the event that the
Participant's action (or inaction) nonetheless causes
the Employer or Administrator to incur such ex-
pense, the amount of the expense may be charged
against the Participant's Account and thereby reduce
the Employer's obligation to pay benefits to the

i-
Participant. In the course of any proceeding relating
to divorce, separation, or child support, the Em-
ployer and Administrator shall be authorized to
disclose information relating to the Participant's
Account to the Participant's spouse, former spouse,
or child (including the legal representatives of the
spouse, former spouse, or child), or to a court.
ARTICLE X. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PLANS
AND EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
This Plan serves in addition to any other retirement,
pension, or benefit plan or system presently in existence
or hereinafter established for the benefit of the
Employer's employees, and participation hereunder shall
not affect benefits receivable under any such plan or
system. Nothing contained in this Plan shall be deemed
to constitute an employment contract or agreement
between any Participant and the Employer or to give
any Participant the right to be retained in the employ of
the Employer. Nor shall anything herein be construed
to modify the terms of any employment contract or
agreement between a Participant and the Employer.
ARTICLE XI. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION
OF PLAN
The Employer may at any time amend this Plan pro-
vided that it transmits such amendment in writing to the
Administrator at least 30 days prior to the effective date
of the amendment. The consent of the Administrator
shall not be required in order for such amendment to
become effective, but the Administrator shall be under
no obligation to continue acting as Administrator
hereunder if it disapproves of such amendment. The
Employer may at any time terminate this Plan.
The Administrator may at any time propose an amend-
ment to the Plan by an instrument in writing transmit-
ted to the Employer at least 30 days before the effective
date of the amendment. Such amendment shall become
effective unless, within such 30-day period, the Em-
ployer notifies the Administrator in writing that it
disapproves such amendment, in which case such
amendment shall not become effective. In the event
of such disapproval, the Administrator shall be under
no obligation to continue acting as Administrator
hereunder.
Except as may be required to maintain the status of the
Plan as an eligible deferred compensation plan under
section 457 of the Code or to comply with other
applicable laws, no amendment or termination of the
Plan shall divest any Participant of any rights with
respect to compensation deferred before the date of the
amendment or termination.
ARTICLE XI1. APPLICABLE LAW
This Plan and Trust shall be construed under the laws of
the state where the Employer is located and is estab-
lished with the intent that it meet the requirements of
an "eligible deferred compensation plan" under Section
457 of the Code, as amended. The provisions of this
Plan and Trust shall be interpreted wherever possible in
conformity with the requirements of that section.

ITEM TITLE:
December 17, 1996
Approval of Agreement for Contract Services
with Liebert, Cassidy & Frierson for
Legal Services Related to Personnel
RECOMMENDATION:
BUSINESS SESSION:
CONSENT CALENDAR: —T
STUDY SESSION:
PUBLIC HEARING:
Approval of Agreement for Contract Services with Liebert, Cassidy & Frierson for legal
services related to personnel.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
Estimated $10,000 - $25,000. Funds are available in the Contract Services Account
#101-101-601-000 and 101-101-601-523.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
At the beginning of the fiscal year, staff worked with Liebert, Cassidy and Frierson on
an Agreement for Contract Services. At that time, the cost of the Agreement was
expected to be less than $5,000 for the fiscal year. The agreement included review
of the Personnel Rules and the annual cost for the Coachella Valley Training
Consortium.
Since that time, it has become necessary to utilize Liebert, Cassidy & Frierson for
additional personnel - related activities. The City Attorney was involved in the decision
to utilize an additional labor law firm.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
Because of the additional, unforeseen duties, the cost of the Agreement for Contract
Services exceeds the dollar limit for contracts that can be awarded by the City
Manager. It is estimated that these services will ultimately cost between $10,000
and $25,000. GO C.3 J 5
Pursuant to the Ordinance regarding the Consultant Selection Process and Purchasing
approved by Council on November 5, 1996 and taking effect 30 days thereafter, --the
City Manager may select the contractor but the City Council must award the contract.
-{)per
_ii�u llll��-,
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the Agreement for Contract Services.
The alternatives available to Council are:
Approve the Agreement for Contract Services with Liebert, Cassidy &
Frierson for legal services related to Personnel, or;
2. Do not approve the Agreement, or;
3. Provide alternative direction to staff.

COUNCIL/RDA MEETING DATE: December 17, 1996 CONSENT CALENDAR:
ITEM TITLE: Authorize The City Manager To Enter Into
A Three Month Professional Services Agreement with STUDY SESSION:
Interstate Sweeping, Inc., for Supplying City-wide PUBLIC HEARING:
Street Sweeping Service.
Authorize the City Manager to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with
Interstate Sweeping, Inc. for supplying city-wide street sweeping services for a period
of ninety consecutive calendar days beginning December 30, 1996.
There are adequate funds available to support this recommendation in the Public
Works -Street Maintenance, Contract Services, Street Sweeping Account No. 101-
453-621-616.
Recent decline in the level of service supplied by Apollo Sweeping Co., Inc. has
resulted in an increase in citizen complaints. The decline of services is directly
attributable to the mechanical condition of Apollo's equipment. Mechanical failure has
become an almost daily occurrence. As a result, daily and weekly sweep cycles have
not been completed as required.
Staff's enforcement of Apollo's contractual obligations resulted in a thirty (30) day
notice of Contract cancellation (attachment 1) submitted by Apollo via telefax, and
accepted by the City on November 18, 1996.
Staff is currently gathering data for a report regarding in-house vs. contract street
sweeping services to be presented to Council at a later date. In the interim, to ensure
that street sweeping services are not disrupted, the immediate appointment of a
contract street sweeping firm is required. This agreement will be for a period of
ninety (90) consecutive calendar days beginning December 30, 1996. There are
eleven (11) sweep cycles (175 curb miles) scheduled during this period. The report
referenced above will be submitted for Council's review at the February 18, 1997
meeting.
G00317
Staff has received three (3) curb mile price quotes from firms available to immediately
assume the sweeping duties. Based on the amount of curb miles per cycle, and the
number of cycles scheduled for this ninety day period, the results are as follows:
► Quality Street Services
74-885 Joni Dr., Suite #4
Palm Desert, Ca 92260
► I.P.S. Services Inc.
Post Office Box 10458
San Bernardino, CA 92423
► Interstate Sweeping, Inc.
32-220 Outer Hwy. 10
Redlands, CA 92373
$18.00 per curb mile
$3,150.00 per sweep cycle
11 cycles = $34,650.00
$17.70 per curb mile
$3,097.50 per sweep cycle
11 cycles = $34,072.50
$14.32 per curb mile
$2,506.00 per sweep cycle
11 cycles = $27,566.00
Staff has contacted representatives of past and/or present clients of each company.
Of the three, Interstate Sweeping, Inc. received the better recommendations. I.P.S.
Services rated second with only fair ratings. Quality Street Service rated lowest.
Based on information gathered, and the $14.32 per curb mile quote (attachment 2),
Interstate Sweeping, Inc. is the better qualified of the three to assume the street
sweeping services for the ninety day period.
Available Alternatives:
1. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a Professional Services Agreement
with Interstate Sweeping, Inc, for supplying city-wide street sweeping services
for a period of ninety consecutive calendar days beginning December 30,
1996.
This alternative will result in Interstate Sweeping providing services for eleven (1 1)
sweep cycles at a total cost of $27,566.00.
2. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a Professional Services Agreement
with I.P.S. Services, Inc., for supplying city-wide street sweeping services for
a period of ninety consecutive calendar days beginning December 30, 1996.
This alternative will result in I.P.S. Services, Inc., providing services for eleven (11)
sweep cycles at a total cost of $34,072.50.
3. Provide staff with alternate direction.

During the last week of October we performed PM-10 street sweeping services for the City of La
Quinta utilizing a Mobil Athev/diesel (Unit 412). After that servicing you requested that we use that
unit to service the City of La Quinta contract. You were advised that we were unable to provide that
unit exclusively for your city. Since then we have received complaints from you regarding the units
servicing La Quinta, and today you have stated that if we did not remove our Unit #05, Mobil
Athey/propane, you will not pay for this week's servicing. You have since instructed our operator,
Martin Lopez, to cease sweeping.

In every instance where we have experienced equipment failure, we have subsequently completed
our routes. It should be noted that of the 3 different Mobils which have swept approximately 2,000
curb miles each in La Quinta, Unit # 005 has had the fewest number and the lowest percentage of
"down time".
From the contract inception date of April 1995, we have received 14 complaints from the City of La
Quinta with regard to quality of service (1 complaint for every 575.8 curb miles swept). In our
GGC,,31)
NJU 18 '35 03:33 gPOLLJ SWEEPING 741 P02
opinion, your punitive attitude toward our company and continued veiled threats of contract
cancellation is unwarranted.
As stated to you in our letter of April 16, 1996, we will continue to service your city "until it
becomes apparent that any constructive action on our part makes little difference". Therefore, with
this letter we hereby give 30 days notice of contract cancellation. Our final service date will be
December 20, 1996. Should the City wish to cancel prior to that time, please contact me at 1 800
843-8200.
Cordially,
Thomas H. Rochte

A. Election of Chairperson
On motion of Jim Hegge, seconded by Dennis Wish, and unanimously carried,
Wayne Gardner was elected Chairperson.
B. Appeal of the Decision of the Building Official Not to Approve the Torch at
Sesame Restaurant for Safe Use
City Attorney Honeywell asked that staff give a brief history, including notification
of the appellant.
Director Hartung confirmed that Mark Harold hand delivered the agenda packet to
Mr. Farzaneh on Wednesday, November 27, 1996.
Director Hartung explained that approval of the exterior natural gas burning torch
at Sesame Restaurant was withheld due to lack of sufficient documentation to
verify safe use. Since the Sesame Restaurant torch is the result of the collection
of various components, Director Hartung stated that the Building Department
requested approval by an appropriate testing or listing agency. Director Hartung,
continued that Mr. Farzaneh appealed the decision and would like the torch to be
considered safe.
The Building Department contacted Underwriters Laboratory and ETL Testing
Laboratories. Both agencies prefer on -site testing to determine safe use. There are
concerns with the fire ring, since it is not protected from corrosion, as the Code
requires, and it is not listed for heat producing uses. Director Hartung reiterated that
in speaking with the testing agencies, and what they see on the plans, the torch
may be safe. There is not sufficient evidence to make the determination.
Jim Hegge questioned if the main problem developed when Mr. Farzaneh
completed the installation without a permit or approval by the Building Department.
Mark Harold, Building and Safety Manager, stated that in August Mr. Farzaneh
submitted a design from a licensed fireplace contractor. At that time, Mr. Harold
wrote the following corrections: provide manufacturer specifications for all
components of the torch and UL listing numbers to show use as they were intended.
The contractor called Mr. Harold to report that he would not be able to provide the
needed documents. At that time, Mr. Harold explained to the contractor that without
the documentation the Building and Safety Department would not be ble,t Ne

a safety judgment. In September the torch was burning on the premises. Mr.
Harold contacted the contractor who reported that he was not involved. Mr. Harold
contacted the second contractor and requested UL listing data, showing the ignitor
pilot ring being used as intended. He was given part numbers, without
specifications, which was not enough for approval.
Dennis Wish discussed that the unit is not necessarily the sum of its parts. He
continued that the parts may be UL approved, but when combined for the specific
use of a torch, do not make the torch UL approved.
There was also discussion regarding the burner ring and whether it is intended for
interior or exterior use. A discussion continued regarding questions of the burner
ring material, which appears to be a corrosive metal rather than epoxy or enamel
coated.
There were questions regarding how the Building & Safety Department handles
outside barbeques. Mr. Harold explained that for outside barbeques manufacturer
specifications are required. Director Hartung also noted similar requests for fire
rings, which also require UL listing.
The Board continued to discuss life safety issues and intent of the Uniform
Mechanical Code. City Attorney Honeywell noted Section 302, Approval of
Equipment; and Subsection 302.1 as follows: "Each appliance shall be approved
by the building official for safe use or comply with applicable nationally recognized
standards as evidenced by the listing and label of an approved agency."
The Board discussed approval of the appeal pending the following condition: The
torch must be tested as an entire appliance and accepted by a qualified testing
agency, approved by the Building Official. Jim Hegge questioned the dollar amount
at stake. It was noted that the appellant spent approximately $3,000 and that
testing would be approximately $1,500.
The Board made the following decision:
On motion by Dennis Wish, seconded by Jim Hegge, and carried unanimously, the
Building & Construction Appeals Board approved the appeal of the applicant and
authorized the use of the torch pending the completion of one condition: "The torch
must be tested and accepted by a qualified testing agency, approved by the
Building Official."
City Attorney Honeywell and Chairperson Gardner noted for the record that the
appellant will be properly notified of the Board's decision.

B. Department Report
1. Attendance Report for the Month of September 1996
2. Upcoming Events
At the request of Chairperson Hull, Mr. Weiss informed the Commissioners that Marty Nicholson was on
Administrative Leave and that he will be the staff support for the Commission for the time being.
Staff briefly reviewed the Attendance Report with the Commission. Chairperson Hull asked if the numbers
in the Report are the total number of individuals attending an event each time or is it the number of
different people who attend a program each time. Staff will clarify this question next month.
V. BUSINESS ITEMS
A. Cultural Arts Master Plan
Chairperson Hull indicated that the subcommittee has not met since the last Commission meeting, and
the questionnaire was submitted for the Chamber Newsletter. The Commission discussed the
questionnaire and would like to have additional questionnaires available at the Civic Center and
distributed at other functions (i.e. Mayor's Lunch, etc.). Mr. Weiss indicated that he would contact the
Chamber for permission to distribute the questionnaire at the Mayor's Luncheon on November 7, 1996.
Commissioner Vossler volunteered to retype the questionnaire for distribution at the Luncheon and for
additional copies at the Civic Center.
Staff will receive the responses and provide this information to the Commission at the next available
meeting for review. The Commission concurred that they would like to see all the responses, as long as
there is not an overwhelming amount of xeroxing.
B. Commission Meeting Time
Staff reviewed the report with the Commission and pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of
having Commission meetings during the day. After discussion amongst the Commissioners it was moved
by Commissioner Vossler/Atkins to change the Cultural Commission meeting day and time to the fourth
Thursday of the month, and it would be held from 12:00 noon until 1:30 p.m.. If a meeting falls on a
holiday, another meeting date would be selected. Unanimous.
Due to Commission meetings falling on a holiday the next two months, the Cultural Commission agreed
to meet Wednesday, November 20, 1996 at 11:30 a.m., and Thursday, December 12, 1996 at 12:00
noon.
C. Revisions to Cultural Commission Work Plan
Chairperson Hull indicated that changes were not made to the Work Plan as discussed at the last
Commission meeting (i.e. deletion of the La Quinta Pageant, the addition of the Cultural Calendar, etc.).
Commissioner Atkins asked if this is the time of year to make these changes. Staff indicated that since
the Work Plan has already been approved by the City Council, any amendments would also have to be
approved by the City Council. It is at the Commission's pleasure as to whether they request Council
approval of amendments to the Work Plan now, or wait until the annual review which is due in March
1997.
Commissioner Vossler asked whether or not the joint meeting with other valley -Commissions should be
considered as a Work Plan item or can the meeting be held without being on the Work Plan. Chairperson
Hull indicated that a joint meeting was also discussed under the Cultural Master Plan, as well.
CACMIN.028 2 0 0 0 j) 0 �2-7 __

Staff will research the process for holding joint meetings with other Commissions to ensure we are in
compliance with the Brown Act. Mr. Weiss will report back to the Commission with his findings at a later
date. Commissioner Vossler suggested contacting CVAG and having them host the meeting and invite
Cultural Commissions valley wide to attend. The Commission would like to hold the joint meeting in
January/February.
Chairperson Hull said she wanted to add the Cultural Calendar as a new item, and to put the Arts
Advocacy project on hold until next year.
Staff will review the tape of the September 23, 1996 Cultural Commission meeting and make changes to
the Work Plan accordingly, and present it to the Commission at the next meeting for review and approval.
D. DEPA
Commissioner Sharp reported receiving a response from the McCallum Theater. The McCallum provided
6 tickets for the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and Benita Diaz, representative from La Quinta High School,
distributed the tickets to students. Commissioner Sharp will contact Community Concerts and Friends
of the Philharmonic and report back next month.
The Commission discussed a letter of commendation to organizations making exceptional cultural
contributions to the valley. Commissioner Sharp would like to send a letter to Sherry Wollenberg, La
Quinta High School Drama Department, who is putting on Shakespeare. Staff indicated that the
chairperson or staff could draft the letter, however it would need to be approved by the Commission if it
were to come from the Commission itself. Commissioner Vossler suggested Chairperson Hull pen the
letter on behalf of the Commission. The Commission concurred to have Chairperson Hull prepare the
letter and send it to selected individuals/organizations right away. Copies of each letter will be provided
to the Commission in the next available meeting. At each meeting the Commission will determine who
should receive the letter(s) of commendation. Commissioner Vossler suggested letters be sent to the La
Quinta Arts Foundation for the Jazz Art Festival, to Round Table West and Community Concerts for their
upcoming season, and Sherry Wollenberg, La Quinta High School Drama Department for Romeo & Juliet.
The Commission concurred.
Commissioner Vossler suggested contacting Sherry Wollenberg at La Quinta High School for tickets to
Romeo & Juliet to distribute to Indio and Palm Desert High School students. Commissioner Sharp will
contact her.
On behalf of the La Quinta Arts Foundation, Commissioner Francis donated 8 complimentary tickets to
Commissioner Sharp for the Jazz Art Festival, November 8-10, 1996 for the DEPA Program.

VII. COMMISSIONER ITEMS
In response to Chairperson Hull, staff informed the Commission of a City Council Study Session Meeting on
Wednesday, October 30, 1996 at 1:00 PM. Staff distributed the City Council Agenda for their review.
Chairperson Hull asked Council Member Sniff for background on the Study Session Meetings. Council Member
Sniff stated that due to the number of items of concern the Council cannot address all of them at a regular
Council meeting due to lack of time. Therefore, holding a two hour Study Session Meeting once a month to
discuss certain items would allow the additional time needed to cover these areas of concern.
The meeting also allows public comment, and it gives the Council the opportunity to provide direction to staff.
Council Member Sniff indicated that the first meeting will cover park improvements, funding policies for the
Special Projects Contingency Account, and access to the new elementary school.
Chairperson Hull announced that Sculptureland is now the "Open Air Museum". It is a new nonprofit organization
with an eight member Board of Directors which includes Bernardo Gouthier as President. New members are
being recruited, and fundraising is planned in the future.

October 9, 1996
Mr. Falconer presented the staff report and advised that the Government
Code requires that the Treasurer make a finding that sufficient investment
liquidity and anticipated revenues are available to meet the pool's
expenditure requirements for six months. In order to honestly state this, Staff
is in the process of creating a report that will become part of the monthly
Treasurers Report to document this certification. He advised that he has
obtained a copy of the format that is used by the City of Riverside.
In response to Vice Chairman Sales, Mr. Falconer advised he is not aware
of an accepted cash statement format for municipalities.
Mr. Falconer suggested the Board submit any ideas they have from past or
current practices to Staff, a form could be devised and brought back to the
Board for comments.
C. Pooled Money Investment Board Report - August 1996
Board Member Irwin commented on the LAIF Board Report regarding the

composition it list investments in foreign banks.
In response to Board Member Osborne, Board Member Irwin advised that he
does not know the difference in protection between the purchase of a CD
from the Hong Kong Bank and the Bank of America. He further advised that
if the Hong Kong Bank is a United States branch versus an off -shore bank,
there would be more protection.
Board Member Irwin stated that Bank of Tokyo in New York has less
protection than Bank of America even though they operate in the United
States.
Board Member Lewis advised that he disagrees. Any Bank operating in the

Board Member Irwin advised that per the LAIF report, it is unknown where
the bank is located.
Board Member Osborne advised that 80 percent of LAIF investments are
qualified investments in the La Quinta Investment Policy.
D. Updated Investment Policies
In response to Board Member Lewis, Mr. Falconer advised that City Council
considered the Board's recommendation and changed the LAIF percentage
to 40 percent. The City Council reviewed the percentages invested in LAIF
for June, July and August and felt that the percentages could be reduced to
40 percent.
Board Member Lewis questioned Council reducing the LAIF percentages at
a time when fund balances were at their lowest and percentages were
down.
Board Member Irwin stated that there were other reasons. Staff indicated in
June that they would reduce the LAIF percentages to 25 percent by the end
of the year and for some reason Staff decided not to move it to 25 percent.
In response to Board Member Osborne, Board Member Irwin advised that
Staff indicated in June they were prepared to get LAIF down to 25 percent
by the end of the year.
Board Member Lewis advised that it was his understanding that Staff was
going to attempt to keep the LAIF level at 25 percent, not that they were
going to set it as a policy.
Board Member Irwin advised that he interpreted the discussion differently.
E. Reporting to the City Council - Status Update
Mr. Falconer presented the Staff Report and indicated that the City Council
will be discussing this at their November 19, 1996 meeting as part of the

Subject: Response to Public Comment
Dear Mr. Tyler: /.�(. lit
At the December 3, 1996 City Council meeting, you spoke during the Public Comment portion
of the agenda regarding the issuance of a building permit for a two story addition at 50-735
Calle Quito. More specifically, you indicated that the issuance of the building permit should
have been delayed until after the Special City Council meeting of November 12, 1996.
It is correct that the referenced building permit was issued November 12, prior to the
referenced Special City Council meeting. The decision to issue the building permit was made
by the Director of Building and Safety after extensive conversations with myself, and based
on the legal opinion provided by the City Attorney. The essence of that opinion is that the
issuance of a building permit is a "ministerial act" which is defined as "an act which does not
involve the exercise of judgement. An act, the performance of which involves nothing of
discretion, official or otherwise, performance being required by direct and positive command
of the law," or "An act which a person performs under a given state of facts, in a prescribed
manner, in obedience to the mandate of legal authority and without regard to or exercise of
his own judgment upon the propriety of the act being done" (definitions from Ballantine's Law
Dictionary).
The facts that are pertinent to this issue are that the applicant had provided all the required
information that had been requested by the City, in the form of plans, specifications and
calculations prior to the Special City Council meeting on November 12,1996, and those
documents had been reviewed and approved by the appropriate staff. The entire review
process was conducted during the two weeks immediately preceding the November 12, 1996
meeting and had been completed as of that date . The review process was neither expedited
nor delayed due to the controversy that became evident towards the completion of the review
process. The applicant paid all the required fees and obtained the permit prior to the
moratorium, which was enacted during the referenced Special City Council meeting.

To have withheld or delayed the issuance of the permit, when all review was completed,
pending the outcome of the meeting would have resulted in treating this application differently
than all other routine applications of this type and might have resulted in a claim of violation
of due process, thereby exposing the City to potential liability.
I hope I have adequately addressed your concerns regarding this matter. Please feel free to
contact me if you have any further questions.

AN OVERVIEW OF ITS IMPACT ON LOCAL
GOVERNMENT TAXES, ASSESSMENTS AND
FEES
by
Joel D. Kuperberg'
Proposition 218 was adopted by the voters of the State of
California on November 5, 1.996. The measure, which became
effective on November 6, 1996, amends the California Constitution
with fundamental changes in the procedures for, and restrictions
upon, local governments adopting taxes, fees and assessments. The
purpose of this Paper is to provide a general overview of the
provisions of Proposition 218, highlight certain of the
inconsistencies and ambiguities in the text of the initiative, and
suggest different interpretations and applications of its
requirements and restrictions. This Paper is necessarily general
in scope, and is not intended to provide specific guidance with
respect to any particular tax, assessment or fee. Each individual
local government enactment must be examined separately to determine
its compliance under Proposition 218, and this Paper seeks to
provide a better understanding of some of the issues that should be
considered in that analysis.'
` I am indebted to Stan Wolcott and Elizabeth Martyn, partners at Rutan &
Tucker, and Anward Li, an associate of the Firm, for their contributions to this
Paper.
= 000338
The opinions and conclusions set forth in this Memorandum are qualified
by the ambiguities and inconsistencies in Proposition 218, and the lack of any
legislative implementation or judicial decisions interpreting the provisions of
the initiative. It is anticipated that Proposition 218 will be the subject of
a number of lawsuits, and it likely will be a number of years before the courts
issue definitive judicial interpretations of these new and far-reaching
amendments to the California Constitution. Until the courts provide the

I. INTRODUCTION
Proposition 218 significantly alters the relationship between
the electorate and local elected officials with respect to raising
local government revenues. The proponents of Proposition 218
characterized the initiative as a solution to governmental
loopholes to Proposition 13, as follows:
After voters passed Proposition 13, politicians created
a loophole in the law that allows them to raise taxes
without voter approval by calling taxes "assessments" and
"fees . "
In order to remedy this perceived problem, the proponents stated in
the argument in favor of Proposition 218 that "Proposition 218
guarantees your right to vote on local tax increases -- even when
they are called something else, like lassessments' or Ifeesf and
imposed on homeowners." In this regard, Section 5 of Proposition
218 provides that its provisions shall be liberally construed to
effectuate its purposes "of limiting local government revenue and
enhancing taxpayer consent."
Under Proposition 218, a local government; may not assess any
tax, assessment, fee or charge upon any parcel of property, or upon
any person as an incident of property ownership, except ad valorem
or special taxes in accordance'with Proposition 13, or fees, taxes
or assessments as provided by Proposition 218. (Article XIIID, sec.
3.) Proposition 218 adds Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the State
Constitution, with Article XIIIC addressing local taxes, and
Article XIIID covering assessments and property -related fees and
charges.
II. THE IMPACT OF PROPOSITION 218 ON LOCAL TAXES
Article XIIIC of the state Constitution mandates elections for
new or increased general and special taxes, and sets forth a
procedure and a deadline for bringing certain existing but non-
voter -approved taxes into compliance with its provisions.
necessary guidance with respect to Proposition 218, no authoritative legal
conclusions can be drawn regarding its application and effects.
Proposition 218 specifically defines "local government" in California
Constitution Article XIIIC, sec. l(b), to include "any county, city, city and
county, including a charter city and county, any special district, or any other
local or regional governmental entity." Article XIIID, sec. 2(a) defines the
term "agency" as a "local government."

A. What Types of Taxes Are Subject to Proposition 2187
Under Article XIIIC, sec. 2(a), "(a)ll taxes imposed by any
local government shall be deemed to be either general taxes or
special taxes." Proposition 218 distinguishes between "general
taxes" and "special taxes." Article XIIIC, sec. 1(a) defines a
"general tax" as "any tax imposed for general governmental
purposes." In contrast, Article XIIIC, sec. l(d) defines a
"special tax" as "any tax imposed for specific purposes including
taxes imposed for specific purposes which are placed into a general
fund." By focusing on the purpose of the tax, rather than where
the local government will account for the tax revenues, Proposition
218's definition of "special tax" is generally consistent with the
characterization of "special taxes" in Proposition 62, passed by
the voters of California in November of 1986, as well as the
holdings in Rider v. County of San Diego, 1 Cal.4th 1 (1991), and
County of San Francisco v. Farrell, 32 Ca1.3rd 47 (1982).
B. What Governmental Agencies Are Subject to the Proposition
218 Restrictions on Taxes?
Article XIIIC, sec. 2 provides that all general and special
taxes enacted by a local government are subject to the restrictions
in Proposition 218. Section 2(a) further restricts local
government taxing authority, however, by providing that "special
purpose districts or agencies," including school districts, have no
power to levy general taxes.
Neither the term "special purpose districts" nor "special
purpose agencies" are defined in Proposition 218. However, Article
XIIIC, sec. 1(c) defines the term "Special District" as follows:
"Special District" means any agency of the state, formed
pursuant to general law or special act, for the local
performance of governmental or proprietary functions with
limited geographic boundaries including, but not limited
to, school districts and redevelopment agencies.
Notwithstanding the apparently imprecise drafting of Proposition
218, it would appear that the term "special purpose district" in
section 2(a) is intended to mean a "Special District" as defined in
section l(c) of Article XIIIC.° In addition to the school
4 Proposition 218's ban on sp
ecial pecial district •general taxes apparently
supersedes the voters' determination in Proposition 62. In Proposition 62, the
electorate enacted Government Code section 53723, which allows a district,
whether or not authorized to levy a property tax, to impose a general tax if the
tax is approved by the voters. Section 53722 likewise allows a district to adopt
a special tax if the voters within the district approve the special tax by a two-

districts and redevelopment agencies expressly referenced in its
definition, the term "Special District' would seemingly include all
independent special districts, such as water districts, sewer
districts, library districts, community services districts,
community college districts. While these agencies may not have
traditionally levied general taxes, the provisions of section 2(a)
of Article XIIIC now prohibit them from doing so.
C. What Procedures Does Proposition 218 Require for the
Imposition, Extension or Increase of a General Tax?
Article XIIIC, sec. 2(b) prohibits a local government from
imposing, extending or increasing any general tax unless and until
that tax is placed on the ballot and approved by a majority vote of
the electorate. Proposition 218 does not set forth procedures for
calling for, analyzing, soliciting arguments for and against, and
preparing ballots for the proposed tax, but the provisions of
Election Code sections 9200, et seq., governing municipal
elections, do not seem to conflict with the voting requirements in
Article XIIIC, sec. 2(b).5
Proposition 218 does, however, regulate the date of the
election to confirm the general tax. Article XIIIC, sec. 2.(b)
provides that the election shall be consolidated with a regularly
scheduled general election for members of the local government's
governing body, unless the governing body has declared by a
unanimous vote that an emergency situation requires an election on
a different date.
Article XIIIC, sec. 2(b) provides that a general tax shall not
be deemed to have been increased if the tax is imposed at a rate
that is less than or equal to the, maximum rate approved at an
election. Accordingly, Proposition 218 seemingly permits a local
government to fluctuate the tax rate from year to year, so long as
the rate never exceeds the maximum rate approved by the electorate
voting in favor of the tax.
D. What Procedure Does Proposition 218 Require for the
Imposition, Extension or Increase of a Special Tax?
Article XIIIC, sec. 2(d) prohibits a local government from
imposing, extending or increasing any special tax unless the
special tax is approved by a two-thirds vote of the electorate.
Unlike the provisions relating to general taxes, Proposition 218
thirds vote.
5 The tax presumably could be placed on the ballot by the city council
pursuant to Elections Code section 9222.

does not provide any restriction upon the date for conducting
elections on special taxes. Similar to general taxes, special tax
elections seemingly may be conducted in accordance with the
Elections Code provisions for municipal and district elections.
And, like general taxes, the annual rate at which a special tax is
levied may vary from year to year, so long as the rate never
exceeds the maximum tax rate that the voters approved in connection
with the special tax.
B. Hov Does Proposition 218 Affect Existing Taxes?
Article XIIIC, sec. 2(c) provides that, if a local government
has enacted, extended or increased a general tax during the period
from January 1, 1995, through the effective date of Proposition
218,6 the tax may only continue to be imposed if a majority of the
voters confirm the tax at an election held within two years of the
effective date of Proposition 218. Section 2(c) further provides
that the election shall be conducted in compliance with the
provisions on general taxes, which require that the election be
consolidated with a regularly scheduled general election for
members of the local government's governing body, except in cases
of emergency as declared by a unanimous vote of the governing body.
The language of Article XIIIC, sec. 2(c) may provide an
immunity from challenge for certain general taxes that were adopted
prior to January 1, 1995, and without a vote of the electorate.
This issue arises in the context of Proposition 62, and the recent
holding in Santa Clara County Local Transportation Authority V.
Guardino, 11 Cal.4th 220 (1995). Proposition 62 was passed by
California voters in November of 1986, and added Government Code
section 53720, et seq., requiring voter approval for any general or
special tax. In the years subsequent to the passage -of Proposition
62, a number of judicial decisions declared the voter approval
requirements of Proposition 62 unconstitutional.7 Numerous local
governments relied upon these judicial decisions to adopt general
taxes without submitting the taxes for voter approval. The Supreme
Court's decision in Guardino, supra, effectively overruled these
earlier judicial decisions invalidating Proposition 62, reinstated
the voter approval requirement of Proposition 62 with respect to
general taxes, and cast doubt over the validity of general taxes
enacted without voter approval in the years since the passage of
Proposition 62.
6 Pursuant to Art. II, Sec. 10(a) of the state Constitution, the effective
date of Proposition 218 is November 6, 1996, unless otherwise provided therein.

Proposition 218 declares that all general taxes adopted from
and after January 1, 1995, must be confirmed by the voters, but
makes no mention of any voter approval requirement for taxes
adopted prior to January 1, 1995. As a result, and particularly
since Proposition 218 was passed following the decision in
Guardino, the text of Proposition 218 may support an argument that
pre-1995 taxes are immunized from challenge under Proposition 62,
and need not be submitted to the voters for confirmation. It bears
emphasis, however, that this implicit "grandfather" provision will
not be definitively established until a court is asked to address,
and rules upon, this issue.
III. THE IMPACT OF PROPOSITION 218 ON ASSESSMENTS
Unlike the original Proposition 13 (Art. XIIIA) and the Gann
Appropriations Limit (Art. XIIIB), both of which were ultimately
determined by the courts not to apply to assessments, Proposition
218 directly affects assessments in several significant ways.
Article XIIID, sec. 2(b) defines "assessment" as any levy or charge
upon real property for a special benefit conferred upon the
property, and lists the many synonyms and variations which
California law currently provides, including special assessments
and maintenance assessments.
A. What Are the Procedures and Requirements For Assessments?
Section 4 of Article XIIID sets forth several procedural
requirements for the levy of assessments, some of which are
traditional, others which differ significantly from existing
procedures. First, under Article XIIID, sec. 4(a), the local
government must identify all parcels which will be "specially
benefitted," and assess these parcels their pro rata share of the
benefit (not to exceed the "reasonable cost"). The local
government must include in this identification of "specially
benefitted" parcels publicly -owned parcels unless it can be
demonstrated by "clear and convincing evidence" that such public
parcels receive no special benefit.8 The term "special benefit" is
defined in Article XIIID, sec. 2(i) as a particular and distinct
benefit over and above "general benefits" conferred on the parcels
or the public at large.
Although many of these requirements already exist by statute
or judicial decision, currently most publicly -owned properties are
000340
8 The requirement in Proposition 218 that local governments also include
any "specially benefitted" lands owned by the United States may violate Federal
primacy restrictions upon local impositions upon Federal lands.

exempt from assessment, except under certain circumstances.9 The
heightened scrutiny regarding "special" versus "general benefits"
may either necessitate contributions from the levying agency's
general fund for general benefits or, if general fund contributions
are not feasible, preclude the use of assessment districts.
Article MID, sec. 4(b) provides that all assessments must be
supported by a "detailed engineer's report" prepared by a
"registered professional engineer." The term "registered
professional engineer" presumably refers to a registered engineer,
and Proposition 218 provides no guidance regarding what level of
detail is required for a "detailed engineer's report." Although
most assessment statutes already provide for an engineer's report
to support the assessment, the requirement that it be prepared by
a registered engineer is new in most, if not all, instances.
Under Article XIIID, sec. 4(c), the "record owner" of each
parcel to be assessed shall be given written notice by mail of:
(i) the assessment; (ii) the total assessment; (iii) the amount
charged to the owner's parcel; (iv) the duration of payment;
(v) the "reason" for the assessment; (vi) the basis of assessment
(i.e., the assessment formula); (vii) the date, time and location
of the public hearing on the assessment; and (viii) a summary of
the ballot procedure. The term "record owner" is not defined, such
that it cannot be determined from what "record" the identity and
address of the parcel owner must be obtained. Although not
certain, it is likely that local governments may rely upon the
county's last equalized assessment roll for the purposes of
determining the "record owner.1110 Similarly, section 4(c) does not
set forth in what manner the local government must provide the
mailed notice. While bulk mail may reduce local government costs,
the use of first class mail may better assure the local government
of complying with the 45-day notice period requirement." Although
most of these notice requirements already exist in assessment
statutes, notice need not always be given by mail under current
law. The mailed notice provision presumably supersedes statutory
provisions allowing for published notice in certain situations,
such as city-wide assessments.
7 See, San Marcos Water District v. San Marcos Unified School District, 42
Cal. 3d 154 (1986).
10 Certain assessment procedures (e.g
., Streets & Highways Code sec.
10306, regarding notices under the 1913 Act) utilize the county's assessor roll.
11 A more detailed discussion of the issues of what constitutes a "record
owner," and what method of mailing complies with Proposition 218, is set forth
in Section IV.E.1 of this memorandum, regarding notices for fees.
Cu1);34 i
-7- fi)-0_0 q 43--
Article XIIID, sec. 4(d) requires that each mailed notice
enclose a "ballot" on which the owner may "vote" in support or in
opposition to the assessment. The ballot must set forth the
agency's address for receipt of ballots, and space for the owner to
indicate his or her name, a reasonable identification of the
parcel, and the owner's support or opposition to the proposed
assessment. No other guidance is provided regarding the form or
content of the "ballot." Although occasionally assessments are
imposed by vote (such as under the 1982.Act), Proposition 218 now
makes a vote mandatory in all instances other than a small number
of explicitly enumerated assessments which existed on November 6,
1996.
Under Article XIIID, sec. 4(e), the agency must conduct a
public hearing on the proposed assessment not less than forty-five
days after giving mailed notice, consider all protests, and
tabulate the ballots. The agency shall not impose the assessment
if ballots in opposition (as weighted by the amount of assessment)
exceed the ballots in favor (also weighted by the amount of
assessment). These provisions vary considerably from existing
assessment provisions. Under statutory assessments, the agency
would hear protests (which had to be made in writing and filed
before the opening of the public hearing in most instances) and
could impose the assessment unless a majority protest of owners
(usually calculated in terms of area) protested. Under some
assessment acts, even a majority protest could be overridden by a
four -fifths vote of the governing body. Now the ballots decide the
issue and no override is possible.
The public protest hearing provisions raise a number of
issues. First, Proposition 218 does not state how, or in what
manner, a property owner must return his or her ballot, or whether
the local government must either provide a return address or
otherwise solicit the ballots. In addition, the Ralph M. Brown
Act, Government Code section 54950, et seq., also contains special
public hearing requirements relating to assessments. Government
Code section 54954.6 requires local governments to conduct at least
one public meeting and one public hearing prior to levying an
assessment, and provide a detailed published and mailed notice of
the meeting and hearing. It would appear that, unless the
provisions of Government Code Section 54956.6 are repealed, a local
government seeking to -levy assessments must comply with the notice
and hearing requirements of..both Proposition 218 and the Ralph M.
Brown Act.
With regard to the voting procedure which is weighted based
upon the amount of the assessment to which each property owner is
subject, Article XIIID, sec. 4(g) provides that, because only
special benefits are assessable, registered voters residing within
the assessment district who do not own property which has been

assessed "shall not be deemed . . . to have been deprived of the
right to vote for any assessment." Subsection (g) goes on to
provide that if a court determines otherwise, the assessment must
additionally be approved by a two-thirds vote of the electorate, in
addition to the property owners' approval.
Longstanding judicial decisions have ruled that registered
voters are not denied due process or equal protection by being
deprived of voting on such assessments, so it is unlikely.that the
courts will overturn the property owners -only ballot procedure. It
should be noted that section 2(g) of Article XIIID defines
"property owner(ship]" to include tenants where the lease provides
for pass -through of such assessments. This, in turn, injects a
concept which will be difficult to implement in the context of the
restriction which limits voting only to affected landowners.
B. When Does Proposition 218 Apply to Assessments?
Although Article XIIID generally became effective on November
6, 1996, section 5 provides for a delayed effective date of until
July 1, 1997 for assessments. This delayed effective date was
probably intended to give local governments time within which to
conduct elections and to otherwise bring existing, new or increased
assessments into compliance by the beginning of the 1997-98 fiscal
year. However, the delayed effective date also gives rise to
another interpretation.
Although there are differing views on this question, an
argument can be made that, until the July 1, 1997 effective date of
section 4, existing procedures for levying of assessments are
unaffected by Proposition 218. Under this analysis, assessment
proceedings may be completed by no later than May 31, 1997, in
order to allow the thirty day statute of limitation for most
assessment procedures to run prior to July 1, 1997, and thereby
make the assessment immune from later judicial challenge brought
under Article XIIID. Whether such a "window of opportunity" exists
is subject to debate. While Section 5 clearly provides that all
existing, new or increased assessments shall comply with Article
XIIID beginning on July 1, 1997, it goes on to provide that only
certain assessments listed in the concluding sentence of Section 5
are exempt from the "procedures and approval process" set forth in
Section 4 if they existed on November 6, 1996 (the effective date
of Article XIIID in all other respects). Thus, the counter view
holds that the gap in the effective dates is not a "window of
opportunity" for levying further assessments unaffected by
Proposition 218.
Independent of these conflicting interpretations is the
overriding concern over Proposition 218ts right of initiative on
assessments (whether existing, new or increased) conferred by
-9- 00034F;
RUTAN & TUCKER, LLP
ATTORNEYS AT LAW
..oress.o... CO ..... rne.s
section 3 of Article XIIIC. This initiative right, unless narrowed
by judicial decisions or the Contracts Clause of the United States
Constitution, would seemingly allow a later challenge to an
assessment regardless of the date of imposition. In fact, the
initiative right of Article XIIIC, sec. 3 could conceivably be
construed to authorize the voters to repeal assessments which had
complied with Article XIIID in both letter and spirit.
C. What Existing Assessments Are Unaffected by Proposition
218?
Article XIIID, sec. 5 sets forth four categories of
assessments which, if they exist on the November 6, 1996 effective
date of Proposition 218, are exempt from the procedures and
approval process set forth in Section 4:
1. Assessments imposed "exclusively" to finance the
capital costs or maintenance and operation expenses
for sidewalks, streets, sewers, water, flood
control, drainage systems or vector control;
2. Assessments imposed pursuant to a petition signed
by 100% of the owners of parcels subject to the
assessment; ,
3. Assessments "exclusively" used to repay bonded
indebtedness; and
4. Any assessment previously receiving majority
approval in an election.
It should be noted that, even as to the four exempted categories of
assessments, increases in such exempted assessments (except for
bonded indebtedness), are required to be approved as provided in
Article XIIID, sec. 4.
Many questions are raised by these exemptions, including the
precise meanings of what improvements are embraced in the undefined
listing in subsection (a),1 how stringently the term "exclusively"
will be construed in subdivisions (a) and (c) and, most
importantly, what constitutes an "existing" assessment. There is
some credence to the assertion that even assessments which must be
levied on a year -by -year basis (e.g., 1972 Act Landscaping and
Lighting Maintenance Assessments) are grand -fathered, since in an
"annotated" version of Proposition 218, the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers
12 For example, it is not clear how broadly the terms "streets" and
"sewers" will be construed. Under an expansive reading, "streets" could include

Association (the "Jarvis Association") stated that so long as the
assessment methodology remained the same from year to year, the
fact that the assessment is "imposed" annually would not
necessarily trigger section 4 of Article XIIID. However, the
Jarvis Association's position conflicts with the text of section 5,
since the exempted existing assessments are limited to the four
categories listed, not to all "existing" assessments generally.
Moreover, the courts have not generally considered the author's
statements outside the ballot arguments as "legislative intent" for
purposes of construing ambiguous initiative provisions.
Beyond the categories of exempt "existing" assessments,
certain assessments with a material nexus to existing contractual
indebtedness other than assessment bonds may also be protected from
retroactive impairment by the "Contracts Clause" of the United
States Constitution. Although the claim has been made by the
Jarvis Association that only bonded indebtedness payable from
assessments is protected by the "Contracts Clause," it is generally
understood that the protection afforded by the Contracts Clause
extends to all forms of contractual indebtedness, whether issued in
the form of "bonds" or other creative debt instruments, such as
certificates of participation. In fact, the Contracts Clause might
protect existing contractual indebtedness payable from assessments
from material retroactive impairment by Proposition 218 even if
Article XIIID, sec. 5(c) did not so provide. However, a contrary
argument can be made that, at least with respect to the ability of
property owners to defeat an assessment through protests, the
protest procedure is merely a condition to be satisfied, rather
than an impairment.
D. What Impact Will Proposition 218 Have on Maintenance
Assessments?
One of the principal objects to which Proposition 218 seems
directed is maintenance assessments. It is understood that the
Jarvis Association strongly objected to the California Supreme
Court's decision in Knox v. City of Orland, 4 Cal.4th 132 (1992),
which upheld the maintenance assessment for a citywide maintenance
district for city parks. Proposition 218 may have been drafted to
halt continued use of such maintenance districts through the
inclusion in the State Constitution of the concept of "special
benefit" in assessment proceedings, the shifting of the burden of
proving the validity of assessments in judicial challenges, and the
new noticing and "balloting" procedures for assessments.
While a small minority of maintenance assessment districts
will be unaffected by the new requirements of Article XIIID by
reason of being exempted under section 5 (e.g., maintenance
assessments for sidewalks, streets, sewers, water, flood control,
drainage systems or vector control or those previously receiving
RUTAN 6 TUCKER, LLP
ATTORNEYS AT LAW
.....as-I•'MCLUDmG ..oressm.., co..o+.rics
majority approval from the voters, such as those under the Benefit
Assessment Act of 1982), the vast majority of maintenance districts
will be compelled to comply with the new requirements on and after
July i, 1997. Even existing maintenance assessments exempted by
section 5 will need to comply with Article XIIID, sec. 5 as to any
increases made in the amount of those assessments.
Probably the biggest hurdle to the continued levy of citywide
maintenance assessments will be the proof of the "special benefit"
to the properties. While the court in Knox v. City of Orland
rejected the Jarvis Association's contention that such citywide
assessments did not represent "special benefits" and that parks by
their very nature were a "general benefit" to the city, Proposition
218's elevation of the traditional requirement of special benefit
to a constitutional stature will necessitate an expanded method of
assessment engineering in order to withstand judicial scrutiny and
sustain the levying agency's burden of proof.
For example, it is likely that existing maintenance districts
under the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Streets & Highways
Code S 22500 et seq. ) will need to expand the use of "zones of
improvements" (Streets & Highways Code S 22574) to establish a
finer degree of differentiation of assessments to reflect
properties' proximity to the lighting or landscaping improvements.
This may prove very difficult to accomplish. Even with such zones,
the assessment formula for such improvements may prove to be
tortuous and complex, and at odds with the common perception of
what constitutes "special benefit" (e.g., distance from
improvements, actual use by individuals)- It is also probable
that, even with more complex assessment formulas, some residual
"general benefit" will remain. This general benefit portion would
have to be defrayed by a contribution from the general fund of the
local agency, which may be infeasible. Additionally, publicly -
owned properties must also be assessed unless it can be
demonstrated by "clear and convincing evidence" that such publicly -
owned properties receive no special benefit.
Ultimately, it may be very difficult to establish a basis for
"special benefits" among properties throughout a city to support a
city-wide maintenance assessment. Alternatively, local agencies
may turn to different procedural acts, such as the Benefit
Assessment Act of 1982, which already provides for a one-time
hearing and election process. A second alternative, although
perhaps not politically acceptable, would be the approval of a
general or special tax (discussed above) which would provide
equivalent revenues. Even these alternatives may be difficult to
implement under Proposition 218. Regardless of what course is
taken, therefore, it is fair to say that maintenance assessment
districts, particularly citywide districts, may be particularly

problematic due to the "special benefit" and weighted voting
requirements of Proposition 218.
IV. THE IMPACT OF PROPOSITION 218 ON FEES AND CHARGES
Proposition 218 addresses fees and charges in Article XIIID,
section 6. Article XIIID, section 2(e) defines the term "fee" as
meaning "any levy other than an ad valorem tax, a special tax or an
assessment, imposed by an agency upon a parcel or upon a person as
an incident of property ownership, including user fees or charges
for a property -related service." Among the issues raised by
Proposition 218 are whether the initiative applies to existing fees
and, if so, the types of fees that are covered; as of what date the
fees are covered; how Proposition 218 applies to these fees; and
the procedural requirements for the approval and imposition of fees
under Proposition 218.
A. Does Proposition 218 Apply to Existing Fees and Charges?
While the text of the initiative is not clear on the issue, it
appears that Proposition 218 will likely be interpreted as applying
both to new or increased fees, and to existing fees that are
imposed after July 1, 1997. The uncertaintyresults from the fact
that the restrictions on fees are set forth in Article XIIID,
section 6(b), entitled "Requirements for Existing, New or Increased
Fees and Charges," while the text of this section merely provides
that the restrictions apply to fees or charges that are "extended,
imposed or increased" by an agency. The text does not specifically
define the term "extended" nor does it state whether the
restrictions of section 6(b) apply to "existing" fees or charges.
A literal interpretation of the term "extended" suggests that
further legislative action beyond the passive conduct of continued
collection of fees or charges may be necessary. In other words,
fees or charges that are "extended" require a conscious act on the
part of the legislative body. Examples of this would be the repeal
of a sunset clause or the expansion of the scope or coverage of a
fee or charge.
The only possible indication whether Proposition 218 applies
to existing fees is Article XIIID, section 6(d), which provides
that, "(b]eginning July 1, 1977, all fees and charges shall comply
with this Section" (emphasis added). The use of the term "all" can
be construed to mean both new and existing fees. However, this
language differs from the language used in Proposition 218
regarding the effective date for. assessments. Article XIIID,
section 5, provides that, (b]eginning July 1, 1997, all existing,
new or increased assessments shall comply with this Article." The
lack of a specific reference to "existing" fees, when contrasted
-13-

ATTORNEYS AT LAW
• .•+fN{•sNV iMcwmbc .+or•s ONAL CORPORATIONS
with the language relating to assessments, may weaken any inference
from section 6(d) that "all" fees include existing fees.
To interpret the provisions of an initiative measure, the
California Supreme Court, in Amador Valley Joint Union High School
District v. Board of Equalization (1978) 22 Cal.3d 208, 245-246,
stated:
"California courts have held that constitutional and
other enactments must receive a liberal, practical
common-sense construction which will meet changed
conditions and the growing needs of the people P . . In
addition, when . the enactment follows voter
approval, the ballot summary and arguments and analysis
presented to the electorate in connection with a
particular measure may be helpful in determining the
probable meaning of uncertain language."
In the ballot pamphlet for Proposition 218, neither the Official
Title and Summary prepared by the Attorney General, nor the
analysis and ballot arguments, explicitly address whether existing
fees or charges are subject to the procedural requirements of the
measure. The Summary merely states that "fees and charges are
limited to the cost of providing the service and may not be imposed
for general governmental services available to the public."
However, with respect to the substantive requirements of
section 6(b), the analysis prepared by the Legislative Analyst
makes no distinctions between existing or new fees and states that
the measure requires "all property -related fees" to comply with
these requirements by July 1, 1997. Additionally, in addressing
the fiscal impact of the initiative, the Legislative Analyst
determines that, with respect to existing revenues, "by July 1,
1997, local governments would be required to reduce or repeal
existing property -related fees . . . that do not meet the measure's
restrictions on (1) fee . . . amounts or (2) the use of these
revenues." These statements seemingly support the interpretation
that Proposition 218 applies to existing fees and charges.
Section 5 of Proposition 218 provides that the provisions of
the initiative "shall be liberally construed to effectuate its
purposes of limiting local government revenue and enhancing
taxpayer consent" (emphasis added). Thus, to construe the word
"extended" to mean fees or charges that result from an active or
conscious decision made by the legislative body would be contrary
to Proposition 218's rule of construction, as well as the
interpretative rules utilized by the California Supreme Court for
constitutional initiatives. As a result, it would appear that the
restrictions set forth in Section 6(b) of Article MID will likely

be interpreted by the courts to apply to existing fees, as well as
new or increased fees.
B. What Fees are Subject to Proposition 218?
As previously indicated, Proposition 218 defines the term
"fee" in Article XIIID, section 2(e), to mean "any levy other than
an ad valorem tax, a special tax or an assessment, imposed by an
agency upon a parcel or upon a person as an incident of property
ownership, including user fees or charges for a.property-related
service." The term "property -related service," in turn, is defined
in section 2(h) to mean "a public service having a direct
relationship to property ownership." "Property ownership" is
further defined in section (g) to include "tenancies of real
property where tenants are directly liable to pay the ... fee or
charge in question." In construing these definitions, Proposition
218 states that "(r]eliance by an agency on any parcel map
including, but not limited to, an assessor's parcel map, may be
considered a significant factor in determining whether a fee or
charge is imposed as an incident of property ownership..."
Despite these definitions and the interpretive guide in
Proposition 218, it is not at all clear what fees fall within the
scope of fees imposed "... upon a parcel or upon a person as an
incident of property ownership ..." In one sense, it is much
easier to determine from the text of Proposition 218 what fees are
excluded from its restrictiohs. Article XIIID, section 1(b),
specifically provides that Proposition 218 does not affect existing
laws relating to the imposition of fees or charges "as a condition
of property development"; and section 3(b) states that "fees for
the provision of electrical or gas service shall not be deemed
charges or fees imposed as an incident of property ownership."
Thus, developer fees, and electrical and gas charges seemingly are
not affected by Proposition 218.
While Proposition 218 provides a few clues as to what types of
existing fees are subject to its restrictions, those clues are not
altogether helpful, because they seem to imply that "property -
related" fees include fees that are not traditionally associated
directly with property ownership. For example, while Proposition
218 requires both a specially noticed protest hearing and an
election prior to the -imposition of a new or increased fee, Article
XIIID, section 6(c) specifically excludes "fees or. charges for
sewer, water, and refuse collection" from the election requirement
(but not the specially noticed protest hearing requirement)
relating to fees. This provision thus suggests that water, sewer
and trash collection fees are "property -related" fees subject to
Proposition 218. Customary water, sewer and trash service fees are
not normally associated directly with property ownership. while an
inferential argumer%t can be made that this enumeration refers to

ATTORNEYS AT LAW
....ru..swo wcwooac ..aressm,., c...0.......
connection or similar charges that pertain directly to land, as
compared to utility commodity or typical service delivery charges,
that distinction is not reflected in the actual text of Proposition
218.
A narrow reading of Proposition 218 would seemingly cover only
those fees that are imposed solely on the basis of property
ownership such as water and sewer connection fees, trash fees that
are imposed uniformly on all parcels regardless of the amount of
trash generated by the parcel, and any fee that is either included
on a tax bill or imposed by reference to a subdivision or
assessor's map. A broader reading of Proposition 218 would cover
water and sewer commodity charges (i.e., customary rates for the
use of water and sewer utility service), trash and street -sweeping
fees, and other fees for services that are normally delivered to
real property or a permanent location, as opposed to services that
are personal in nature and whose delivery point is easily moveable.
C. When Does Proposition 218 Apply to Fees?
Article XIIID, section 6(d), provides that "all fees or
charges" shall comply with Proposition 218 beginning July 1, 1997.
As previously indicated, it appears that this effective date, as
well as the substantive provisions of Proposition 218, apply to
existing fees as well as new or improved fees.
The more difficult question is whether or not prior to the
effective date existing fees or charges can be increased or new
fees or charges adopted without having to comply with either the
substantive or procedural requirements of section 6. One possible
interpretation is that a "window of opportunity" exists whereby the
requirements of section 6, both substantive and procedural, need
not be followed provided.that increases to existing fees or charges
or the adoption of new fees or charges are enacted prior to July 1,
1997. This means that a local government might be able to adopt
increased or new fees or charges prior to July 1, 1997, without the
need to provide the type of detailed notice described in section
6(a) (2) or obtain approval of the voters as required by section
6(c). It is important to note that any fees or charges that are
increased or adopted will undoubtedly be considered "existing" fees
or charges on the effective date.
The more cautious interpretation is that a "window of
opportunity" does not exist and the procedural requirements of
section 6 must be complied with as of the effective date of
Proposition 218, i.e., November 6, 1996. Under this
interpretation, before fees or charges can be increased or adopted,
a local government must provide notice and obtain voter approval in
conformance with section 6(a)(2) and section 6(c), respectiv ly;

D. Sow Does Proposition 218 Apply to Fees?
Many of the requirements that Proposition 218 imposes upon
fees are substantively similar to existing statutory and decisional
law mandates in their focus upon a reasonable relationship between
the nature of the service provided to the user, and the fee imposed
upon the user for the service. (See, e.g., sections 66013, et
seq., and sections 66016, et seq., of the California Government
Code.) However, Proposition 218 expands.these fee requirements by
requiring a parcel -specific determination, in the form of a finding
regarding the relationship between the fee imposed on the parcel
and the proportional cost of the service provided to that parcel.
As a general matter, most fees and charges are currently
adopted by the governing body of a local government following a
public hearing. The fee, the amount of which is usually based on
the sum reasonably necessary to cover the costs of providing the
service or activity, may not be levied for general revenue
purposes. (Pennell v. City of San Jose (1986) 42 Cal.3d 365,,,375.)
The amount of the fee directly allocated to a user must bear a fair
or reasonable relationship to the user's burdens on or benefits
from the service or activity provided. (San Diego Gas & Electric
Co. v. San Diego County Air Pollution Control Dist. (1988) 203
Cal.App.3d 1132, 1146.)
Under Proposition 218, a local government may only continue to
impose and collect existingfeees or charges beyond June 30, 19970
if the fee or charge in question meets each of the following five
restrictions contained in Article XIIID, section 6(b):
i. The revenues derived from the fee or charge do not
exceed the cost of providing the property related
service.
2. The revenues derived from the fee or charge are not
used for any purpose other than for which the fee
or charge was imposed.
3. The fee or charge imposed does not exceed the
proportional cost of providing the service
attributable to the parcel on which the fee or
charge is imposed.
4. A fee or charge may only be imposed for services
actually used by or immediately available to the
property owners. Any standby charges for future
use or service are treated as assessments.
5. No fee or charge may be imposed for general
governmental services such as police, fire or

library if the service is available to the public
at large on substantially the same manner as the
service it made available to property owners.
In determining the cost of providing the service, Proposition 218
does not define or identify the types of costs or expenses that may
be included in the fee. California courts, however, have found
that such costs typically include the expense of direct regulation
as well as all incidental expenses, including administrative,
inspection, maintenance and enforcement costs. (See, United
Business Com. v. City of San Diego (1979) 91 Cal.App.3d 156, 166.)
Therefore, an argument exists that the costs required to provide
the service include both direct and indirect costs incurred by a
local government.
The restrictions set forth in sections 6(b)(1) and 6(b)(2) do
not differ substantively from the requirements currently in effect.
For example, section 6(b)(1) provides that the fee or charge may
not exceed the funds required to provide the service. Like
existing law, therefore, Proposition 218 requires a nexus between
the existing fee or charge and the service or activity for which
the fee or charge is imposed.
In section 6(b)(2), Proposition 218 also requires that the
proceeds from the existing fee or charge may not be used for
purposes other than that for which the fee or charge was imposed.
This requirement likely is subsumed within the general requirement
that the fee may not exceed the cost of providing the specific
service to the user. However, to the extent that a fee raises
revenue for purposes incidental to the service provided, such as
water fee revenues that fund water conservation education efforts,
or trash fees that fund recycling efforts or hazardous waste
collection or disposal activities, modifications may be required
under Proposition 218. The modifications required may simply mean
that fees and charges subject to Proposition 218 need to be treated
as regulatory fees. Under this interpretation, findings (based
upon reasonable considerations) could be made determining that the
incidental costs associated with providing the service are a
standard component of the fees or charges. (See, San Diego Gas &
Electric Com., supra, 203 Ca.App.3d 1132.) Further, in order to
demonstrate that the proceeds generated from the fee or charge are
not being used for other purposes, and that the cost of the service
is dependent on and does not exceed the amount of funds generated
by the fee or charge, a local agency may find it helpful to deposit
the fees or charges into a separate account or fund. However, this
procedure is not required by Proposition 218.
Article XIIID, section 6(b)(3) further provides that the
amount of the existing fee or charge may not exceed the
proportional cost of the service attributable to the parcel on
-1s 00*035-5-
0 0-0-n-4
which the fee is imposed. This restriction could be interpreted
simply to mean that the amount of the fee or charge must bear a
"fair" or "reasonable" relationship to the parcel's burdens on or
benefits from the service or activity provided, consistent with
existing law. While a precise mathematical formula may not be
required, section 6(b)(3) does appear to go further than existing
law and mandate an individualized determination of the amount of
the fee to be imposed based on the level or amount of service
provided to or conferred upon the specific parcel in question.
Proposition 218 provides no direction regarding how such
determinations should be made. Presumably, standard utility
methodologies, based upon evidence -based assumptions regarding the
level of service or impact per unit (such as the quantity of sewage
generated per person or per square foot of occupied space, or per -
acre water consumption by occupied land use) may serve as the basis
for such individualized determinations.
This requirement for a proportional relationship between the
cost of the service and level of benefit to the specific parcel may
restrict certain non -proportional fees, such as "inclining block"
water conservation rates (i.e., rates that increase on a per -unit
basis with increased consumption, in order to.discourage increased
use), and require modification of the method of funding "lifeline"
rates (i.e., subsidized rates to lower income or elderly service
users). While lifeline rates are not prohibited in and of
themselves under Proposition 218, they are typically funded from a
portion of the rates charged to non -lifeline users. This
subsidization of lifeline rates through fees likely is prohibited
by Proposition 218, however, and local governments seeking to
continue lifeline rates seemingly would be required to subsidize
the lifeline rates from non -fee generated (e.g., general fund)
revenues.
To the extent that an existing fee or charge is imposed for a
service that is not actually used by or immediately available to
the owner of the property in question, such a fee or charge may no
longer be collected or imposed after July 1, 1997. Fees or charges
based on potential or future use of a service are not permitted.
Under Proposition 218, standby.charges are considered assessments
and subject to the provisions of Article XIIID, section 4.
Under section 6(b)(5), if an agency charges a fee for general
governmental services such as police, fire, ambulance or library
services, the fee may no longer be imposed unless the service is
not available to the public at large in substantially the same
manner as it is to property owners. This provision seems to relate
to parcel -based fees, and seemingly would not apply to traditional
fees for library cards, or after -the -fact billings for ambulance
services or responses to security alarm calls.

If the existing fee or charge fails to meet the restrictions
and requirements of Proposition 218, Article XIIID, section 6(d)
requires that, after July 1, 1997 the local government either
adjust or reduce the existing fee so that it comports with the
initiative, or cease imposition of the fee.
R. What Procedures Does Proposition 218 Require for the
Approval of Fees and Charges?
Proposition 218 imposes specific procedural requirements for
the approval of any property -related fee or charge. These
procedures, which are established in Article XIIID, sec. 6 of the
California Constitution, resemble certain of the procedural
requirements for the adoption, imposition and levy of assessments,
and cover three principal areas: the notice which must be sent to
all affected property owners, the public protest hearing on the
fee, and the mandatory election following the local government's
adoption of the fee.
1. The Required Notice for a New or Increased Fee.
Under Article XIIID, sec. 6(a)(1), the local government must
identify the proposed fee, calculate the amount of the fee proposed
to be imposed upon each parcel, and mail to the record owner of
each identified parcel upon which the local government proposes to
impose the fee a detailed written notice of the proposed fee. That
mailed notice must specify the amount of fee to be imposed upon the
parcel, the basis upon which the amount of the fee was calculated,
the reason for the fee, and information (i.e., date, time, and
location regarding the public hearing to be conducted on the
proposed fee).
Because Proposition 218 does not define the term "record
owner," it is not certain from what "record" the local government
must identify the owners of the affected parcels. Various statutes
which require governmental agencies to provide mailed notice to
property owners mandate the use of the county's last equalized
assessment roll for determining the identity of the property
owner.13 Different localities may maintain different "records" of
property ownership, based either upon county recorder documentation
or other information. While Proposition 218 provides no certainty,
it would appear that local governments may be able to utilize the
13 See, e. ( )( ) (notice of pending
g., Government Code Section 65091 a 3
land use entitlement); Public Resources Code Section 21092(b)(3)(C) (alternate
means of providing notice of availability for review of draft EIR or negative
declaration); Government Code Section 56157(e) (mailed notices of changes of
governmental organization); Streets & highway Code S 10306 (mailed notice of 1913
Act assessment).

• 11 Rf N(ISMII �M CL.0..G 1.011 0.1L C0..0..IIONS
county's last equalized assessment roll, because this "record" is
commonly used for determining the names and addresses of the owners
of specified parcels of property for other governmental purposes
under various other provisions of California law.
Another uncertainty in the noticing requirements for fees is
the identity of the "owner" of the parcel entitled to receive
notice, in light of Proposition 218's definition of the term
"property ownership." Article XIIID, sec. 2(g) defines that term
to "include tenancies of real property where tenants are directly
liable to pay the assessment, fee or charge in question." Since
the allocation between landlords and tenants of the responsibility
to pay assessments, fees or charges is not required to be made
public, a local government is not likely to have any actual or
constructive knowledge of whether an owner/landlord and
tenant/occupant have contracted between themselves as to which of
the two will be directly liable to pay specified assessments, fees
or charges, and how they have allocated those responsibilities. In
the absence of a standardized, definitive listing of which parties
are responsible for directly paying particular assessments or fees,
local governments most likely should rely upon the last equalized
assessor's roll to determine the property owner to whom notice of
the proposed fee should be mailed.
Another uncertainty with respect to the fee notice provisions
relates to the mailed notice requirement. Article XIIID sec.
6(a)(1) does not specify how the local government must provide the
mailed notice. While some statutes define "mailed" notice to mean
a notice sent by first class mail which is deposited, postage
prepaid, in a United States mail depository (see e.g., Government
Code Section 56155 regarding mailed notices pertaining to
governmental changes of organization), other statutes providing for
mailed notice make no reference to the manner in which the notice
must be mailed.
While some local governments may wish to utilize bulk mailings
to reduce administrative costs in complying with the noticing
requirement for fees under Proposition 218, the bulk -mailed notices
may result in violations of the procedural requirements relating to
the adoption of fees if the mailed notices are not received by the
property owners 45 days prior to the date of the public hearing on
the proposed fee. For this reason, local governments may wish to
transmit all mailed notices by first class mail. Local governments
which choose not to send mailed notices by registered or certified
mail may also wish to maintain certifications of mailing, which
comprise a declaration by the person responsible for mailing the
notices stating that an attached list of mailing labels represents
the names and addresses of the property owners to whom the local
government mailed fee notices.

..uiwt+s-. ,wc.eoi.c .+o.css�os.� cow.owui. ws
A final issue relating to the notice provisions for new or
increased fees relates to the interrelationship between the mailed
notice requirements of Article XIIID, sec. 6(a)(1), and the omnibus
notice and hearing requirements for fees in Government Code Section
66018. Section 66018 generally requires a noticed public hearing
prior to the imposition of any fee to which a specific "statutory"
notice requirement does not apply. Since the Proposition 218
notice requirements were adopted as part of Article XIIID of the
California Constitution, the requirements technically do not
comprise "statutory" requirements. For this reason, local
governments should consider providing notice of the public hearing
on fees in accordance with both Proposition 218 and Government Code
Section 66018, or such other statutory provision that directly
applies to the fee in question.
2. The Public Protest Hearing on the Nev or Increased
Fee.
Article XIIID, sec. 6(a)(2) provides that the local government
must conduct a public hearing on the proposed fee 45 or more days
following the mailing of the notice to the record owner of the
affected parcel. While denominated as a "public hearing," the
hearing is functionally a protest hearing. At the hearing, the
local government must consider all protests against the proposed
fee. If written protests against the proposed fee are presented by
a majority of the owners of the affected parcels, the local
government may not impose the fee.
The language of Article XIIID, sec. 6(a)(2) raises a
significant question regarding the manner in which local
governments count protests filed against a proposed fee, in terms
of whether the protests are counted on the basis. of individual
owners, or individual parcels. Under one interpretation, the local
government must count as one protest any number of protests filed
by an individual who owns one or more parcels of land affected by
the fee. Under another interpretation, the local government must
count as a separate protest each objection filed by an individual
on behalf of each parcel owned by that individual. This dilemma is
exemplified by the hypothetical situation of a single property
owner owning five one -acre parcels, who is adjacent to a second
property owner who owns one single five -acre parcel. Depending
upon the methodology used, the first property owner may cast either
one or five protests.
While the explicit language of Proposition 218 provides no
clear guidance on this issue, it would appear that a local
government should count as a protest an objection filed by an
individual on behalf of a specific parcel, even if that individual
is capable of casting numerous objections by virtue of his or her
ownership of numerous parcels. This interpretation is favored due
G 0 i13 5 9
-22-
44C�358 _
to the fact that Proposition 218 seems to focus on the relationship
between fees and parcels, as well as the effect of fees on
individual parcels. From this, it would appear that the protest is
based upon the parcel, regardless of whether the current parcel
owner also owns other parcels.
3. The Election to Confirm the Approved Fee.
Assuming that the owners of a majority of the affected parcels
do not protest the fee, then, regardless of the number of protests
actually cast on behalf of affected parcels, Article XIIID, sec.
6(c) requires that the local government conduct an election to
confirm the imposition of the fee. This election must be conducted
not less than 45 days following the public protest hearing on the
fee. Unless and until the fee is confirmed by the election, the
fee may not be imposed or increased.
The local government has the discretion to conduct the
election as either an election of affected property owners, or as
an election of the entire residential electorate. If the local
government conducts the fee confirmation election as an election of
affected property owners, the fee must be approved by a majority
vote of the property owner subject to the fee. If the local
government conducts the election as a resident electorate election,
the fee must be approved by a two-thirds vote of the "electorate"
residing in the affected area. While no procedures are set forth
in Proposition 218 to govern the conduct of the election, Article
XIII, sec. 6(c) provides that the local government may adopt
procedures "similar to those for increases in assessments" for the
conduct of elections to confirm fees.
The language of Proposition 218. does not. provide clear
guidance with respect to the allocation of voting rights between
property owners in an election to confirm fees. Under Article
XIIID, sec. 6(a)(2), a majority protest exists if a majority of
"owners of the identified parcels" cast protests. In contrast to
the protest procedure, a fee is confirmed if it is approved by a
majority vote of the "property owners of the property subject to
the fee . . ." This difference in terms, in which the protest
procedure focuses on individual parcels while the election
procedure seemingly focuses on the general property subject to the
fee, supports the argument that each individual property owner
receives one vote, regardless of the number or size or parcels
owned. On the other hand, since the basic thrust of Proposition
218 relates to the effect of fees, taxes and assessments on
individual parcels, an argument can be made that property owners
should vote on a weighted basis, based upon the number or size of
parcels.

V. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS OF PROPOSITION 218
In addition to the provisions regarding taxes, assessments and
fees, Proposition 218 carves into the State Constitution the
authority to repeal taxes, assessments and fees by initiative, and
provisions declaring that the local government has the burden of
proof in all challenges brought against assessments and fees under
Proposition 218.
A. The Initiative Powers Established by Proposition 218.
Article XIIIC, sec. 3 provides that, notwithstanding any other
provision of the State Constitution, including Article II, Sections
8 (dealing with initiatives) and 9 (dealing with referenda), "[t]he
initiative power shall not be prohibited or otherwise limited in
matters of reducing or repealing any local tax, assessment, fee or
charge." Section 3 goes on to provide that the power of initiative
to affect local taxes, assessments, fees and charges shall be
applicable to all local governments, and neither the legislature
nor any local government charter shall impose a signature
requirement for initiative petitions higher than that applicable to
statewide initiatives.
Article XIIIC, sec. 3 appears to be an effort to include in
the text of the Constitution the Supreme Court decision in Rossi v.
Brown, 9 Cal 4th 688 (1995)1 which held that San Francisco's
utility user tax was subject- to repeal by initiative. Under
Article XIIIC, sec. 3, the residents of a community have the
authority to repeal a variety of local taxes, assessments, fees and
charges. Section 3 may even be construed to permit the repeal of
exactions which had previously received the requisite approval
under the very terms of Proposition 218. There is some concern
that Article XIIIC, sec. 3 may.effectively become an implied term
of every contractual obligation of public entities in California,
which could render them illusory contracts whose very means of
repayment could -be repealed or impaired retroactively by
initiative. In addition, the process of qualifying initiatives was
liberalized in the second sentence of section (c) by the use of the
5% petition requirement for state initiative petitions, rather than
10% as provided in the Elections Code section 9215 for municipal
elections.
B. The Nov Burden of Proof Requirements of Proposition 218.
Article XIIID, sec. 4(f) provides that in any legal challenge
to the validity of an assessment, the burden of proving its
validity is shifted to the agency, which must demonstrate that
(i) the properties in question received a "special benefit" over
and above the "general benefit" conferred on the public at large
and (ii) the amount of the contested assessment is proportional to
GU0�6�i
-24-
RUTAN & TUCKER, LLP
ATTORNEYS AT LAW
. r.w�ws ws wi. iwc woiwa .wrcam.u. cow.a unows
and no greater than, the special benefit conferred on the
properties. A similar but less detailed burden of proof provision
with respect to fees is set forth in Article MID, sec. 6(b).
While two of the underpinnings of the validity of an
assessment have always been special benefits and proportionality,
the taxpayer has traditionally had the burden of proving that the
assessment fails on these counts, since the assessment carries a
rebuttable presumption of validity. Similarly, courts have
traditionally deferred to the local government in imposing fees,
and the fees have not been invalidated unless they were found to be
arbitrary and capricious.14 Proposition 218 has reversed the
traditional roles in such challenges; as a result, in defending any
lawsuit challenging its fees or assessments, the agency must
affirmatively demonstrate its compliance with Proposition 218's
restrictions and requirements.
VI. CONCLUSION
Proposition 218 will likely have a profound effect on the way
in which local governments plan for and raise revenues for vital
public services. It appears that years of court rulings and
legislative actions will be needed to clarify the ambiguities and
inconsistencies in the text of this new law. We hope that this
Paper assists you in beginning to understand the potential impacts
of Proposition 218 upon your. community. Please feel free to
contact us should you have any questions relating to the
application of Proposition 218 to particular taxes, assessments and
fees.

Zoning Ordinance Amendment 96-053, an Amendment PUBLIC HEARING:
to the Municipal Code Section 9.60.130 regarding
Recreational Vehicles
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to take up Ordinance No. by Title and Number and waive further reading.
Motion to introduce Ordinance _ on first reading
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
The Recreational Vehicle (RV) regulations issue was first raised by residents during the
public comment portion of the October 1, 1996, City Council meeting (Attachment 1). After
listening to the comments that were expressed, the City Council agendized the issue for their
Study Session on October 15, 1996 (Attachment 2), at which time they referred the RV
regulations to the Planning Commission for review and recommendation.
Staff noticed both the Planning Commission and City Council public hearings by placing a
1/8 page ad in the local newspaper (Desert Sun), as well as a bulk mailing to every residence
in the City.
The Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing on November 26, 1996, at which time
public comment was taken (Attachment 3). The public comment portion was then closed and
the item continued to December 10, 1996, for Commission discussion and recommendation.
Comments that were received from the residents during the public hearing can be
summarized as follows:
The motor home is a part of their earthquake preparedness kit. There is a need to
have the RV within arms reach.
It is impossible to put a motor home in the sideyard as the sideyard only has a five
foot setback and the RV is eight feet wide or more.
Glop, $ .3
CCJH.005 $g
O��O�
The 24-hour limitation does not make sense.
Define what a "fixed" connection is.
RV owners should be allowed to "hook-up" motor home for visitors to stay in.
The RV is needed in close proximity for life-support system.
The new RV regulations are vindictive and over bearing.
Their RV was bought after checking with the City and no restrictions were found to
prevent them from parking the RV on their property.
The City is penalizing owners of oversized lots.
A possible solution may be to place a cover over the RV.
There are unkept fences, homes, yards, and vehicles and other nuisances, and yet
RV's are singled out.
" An RV cannot be stored on a 50 X 100-foot lot.
" The cost of storing an RV is cost prohibitive to some people.
" Currently there are not enough outdoor storage facilities in the Valley to accommodate
all the RVS.
". The City needs regulations for RV maintenance and for non -habitation on City streets.
In addition, the following is a summary of the written comments (Attachment 4) that were
received:
They support the regulation of the unsightly clutter of RV's in the residential areas.
The parking of RVs makes the City look like an RV parking lot.
Put the issue to a vote of the people.
The homes and streets are too close together to allow RV parking in the driveways
or on the streets.
They are opposed to street parking of large vehicles.
Don't blemish the beauty we enjoy by making La Quinta an RV Park.
24-hour parking limit on private property does not work.
The City should create an RV Park/Storage facility area.
From the written comments and those that were received during the Planning Commission
Public Hearing, it would appear there are three major concerns:
1. The time limit of 24-hours;
2. Limited, or no access to a side or rear yard for storage; and
3. Accessibility and security of the RV to the owner.
Time Limit
The City would be required to post permanent 24-hour limited parking signs throughout the
City if the 24-hour parking limit is retained. The 72 consecutive hour limit does not require
posting, as this would be consistent with the State Vehicle Code.
000384
COH.005
2
Limited Access
The side or rear yard access for the majority of lots throughout the City, is limited due to the
provision of a five foot yard setback that is provided for most homes, making it impossible to
store an RV.
Accessibility
If RV's are to be allowed to be stored at the property owner's place of residence, the RV
should be stored in a manner that is not offensive to the rest of the neighborhood. The
problem is one of perception, as there are those who believe their RV is needed for
emergency and security purposes and there are others who believe the RV should be
located out of the residential areas.
Current Regulations
The following three sections represent the existing regulations that have been adopted and
are currently in effect:
A. Purpose. Recreational vehicles may be parked or stored on residentially zoned
property only in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section. Recreation
vehicles parked within a validly established recreation vehicle storage facility are
exempt from the requirements of this Section.
B. Definition. For purposes of this Code, a "recreational vehicle" or "RV" shall mean all
trailers or any vehicle placed on a tailer such as a boat, watercraft, or other vehicle,
plus any vehicle designed and used for temporary habitation, including motor homes,
travel trailers, "5th wheels", and camper shells. For purposes of this Section, "stored"
shall mean the same as "parked".
C. Storage of RV's: RV's may be stored within residential rear or side yards except
where fence heights are limited to less than six feet (per Section 9.60.030), provided
a three-foot setback is maintained between the RV and the property line. The storage
area shall be screened with landscaping or other materials so that the RV is not visible
from adjoining properties or from any street abutting the property. Non -landscape
screening over six feet in height shall conform to the applicable height limitations of
the district. This may require additional setback for the RV storage area. Except for
the preceding storage locations and for validly -established recreational vehicle
storage facilities, no RV shall be parked for more than 24 hours at any location or
combination of locations within the City.

Planning Commission Recommendation
At their meeting of November 26, 1996, the Planning Commission was presented with six
options (Attachment 5). These included keeping the regulations as they are, changing the
time for parking on the street from 24 hours to 72 hours; allowing additional locations where
an RV could be parked; apply the regulations only to specific zones; and/or exempting the
Cove from the regulations. Following the public testimony and Commission discussion, staff
refined the six options for the December 10th meeting (Attachment 6). These options again
included retaining the existing regulations; expanding the parking areas where an RV could
be parked; or allowing for a "grandfathering clause". After a lengthy discussion, the
Commission, on a 3-2 vote (Commissioners Abels and Gardner were absent), approved a
combination of Option 1 (with modifications) and Option 2 (Attachment 7). The first option
is to store the RV within the garage, if the RV cannot fit within the garage, it can be parked
within the side/front setback area if the sideyard is eight feet or less. If the sideyard is more
than eight feet it shall be parked within the side or rear yard setbacks behind the front yard
setback line and screened with a fence or gate. However the RV cannot encroach over the
public sidewalk, curb, or travelway. If they are unable to comply with the provisions an
"Exemption Request" (grandfathering clause) must be filed. Attachment 8 illustrates the
parking options allowed by the Planning Commission recommendation.
Should the above provisions be accepted, an amendment will have to be made to Section
9.60.030 of the Zoning Code which limits gates larger than 48 inches to side yards that have
12 feet or more in width. Staff will process such an amendment in conjunction with future
amendments now in progress.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
Alternatives available to the City Council are as follows:
1. Adopt Ordinance No. accepting the recommendation of the Planning
Commission.
2. Modify the recommendation; or
3. Provide staff with further direction.

Council Member Sniff advised that he shared their concerns and wished that things
had been done differently. He asked that this issue be brought back to Council for
reconsideration and possible amendment.
Council Member Perkins agreed, advising that ordinances can be amended. He
suggested an immediate moratorium against enforcement of this section of the
ordinance until this issue is brought back to Council for a good hard look. His only
complaint regarding RV's and boats is when they are parked on the street for long
periods of time and the street sweeper is unable to clean the street or when grass is
allowed to grow beneath the vehicle. He also felt that the City should work on its
public notification process.
In response to Mayor Holt, Ms. Honeywell, City Attorney, advised that the Council
cannot take any official action on this matter because it's not on the agenda.
However, the City Manager has administrative power to extend the deadline for being
in compliance with the zoning ordinance and thus allow time to agendize this matter
for Council's reconsideration.
Council Member Henderson advised that adoption of this ordinance was a long
process wherein a substantial number of people attended the meetings and asked the
Council to restrict parking to 24 hours instead of three days. Council struggled with
the ordinance and the issue of regulating the use of one's own private property. She
advised that she voted for the ordinance, but was not comfortable with this issue and
is pleased that it will be reconsidered. She supported forming a Council/resident
committee to work out the details.
Council Member Adolph concurred, noting that both the Planning Commission and
Council struggled with placing restrictions on the use of private property, but the only
public input Council received was in support of restrictions and none in opposition.
He was in favor of staff getting together with residents to gain input on this issue.

Mayor Holt commented on Council's appreciation of public input, pointing out that
they must know what the community wants to effectively carry out their
responsibilities. -
Mr. Genovese, City Manager, advised that this matter would be agendized for the
October 15, 1996 meeting to discuss methods for reviewing the ordinance such as
a Council/resident committee.
Ms. Honeywell advised that it could be agendized and discussed in general at the
October 15th meeting, but the Council cannot take final action on it until it has gone
back through the Planning Commission public -hearing process because it's a Zoning
Ordinance. She advised that public hearings require ten days public notification prior
to the hearing, making the second meeting in November the earliest date for a
Planning Commission public hearing. If the Planning Commission makes a
recommendation to Council at that meeting, then it can be scheduled for a public
hearing before the Council sometime in December. That would be the minimal
timeframe for revising the Zoning Ordinance.
Mr. Genovese advised that staff would place information regarding the public hearing
dates on the RV Hotline.
Kim Russell, 51-225 A ida Velasco, spoke to Written Correspondence No. 1 from
"Voice of Our Children" in and to the number of leukemia cases among children in
the valley. She asked Counc for help in getting environmental agencies to test the
valley's water, soil, and air in an qtempt to find out why there are so many leukemia
cases in the valley.
In response to Mayor Holt, Mr. Genove City Manager, advised that the Assistant
City Manager would help them identify agbqcies to contact.
Council Member Henderson suggested that thiNvive the same presentation to the
Human Services Commission so they, too, can tra this issue and keep the Council
informed.
Ms. Russell didn't wish to create a panic, but pointed out th 1996 already has three
times the expected number of leukemia cases in the v ey and the Cancer
Surveillance and Tracking Center.doesn't seem to be alarmed. hoped that with
the City's influence, some type of investigation might move forwar that people
in the valley with children: inflicted with this disease would contact them.

ABSENT: None
Gertrude Cheney, 54-255 Avenida Carranza, spoke regarding the rights of hikers
using the bike path versus bicyclists. She felt that bikes should have lights and some
type of warning system to alert walkers when they are approaching.
Karl Keller, 53-965 Avenida Cortez, urged the Council to extend the allowed parking
time for RV's in residential areas to 72 hours which he felt would be more in line with
other communities and less inconvenient to RV users. He felt that having junk cars
parked in the neighborhood was a bigger problem. He also spoke about dogs running
loose and leaving their excrement on the bikepath.
Mayor Holt advised that the Council would be taking another look at the RV issue and
that the new parking restrictions wouldn't be enforced until that review has been
completed.
Tom Priestley, 44-300 Camino La Vanda, advised that he was told by the Planning
Department in September 1995, that his property is not subject to the City's setback
provisions because of their CC&R's. Therefore, he didn't feel that he was subject to
the new RV parking restrictions.
Mike Seems, 52-925 Avenida Bermudas, spoke against the RV parking restrictions,
advising that when he constructed a parking pad and block wall for his RV, no one
from the City told him that he wouldn't be able to park his RV there.
John Klimkiewicz, 77-318 Calle Temecula, advised that he's been a resident for 20
years and didn't expect seniors to be penalized for owning RV's when he voted for
incorporation. He felt that the ordinance is unfair.
Jack Barth, 77-125 Calle Temecula, also spoke to the RV issue, advising that it's
difficult to find a place to park RV's and he felt that there's worse blight in the City
than RV's. G 0 031 9 i

Council Member Adolph advised that he would do whatever Council directs,
noting that his only concern has been to protect the City.
Council Member Sniff pointed out that the process will continue with or
without Council Member Adolph's participation and he felt that this Council
should speak up and let SunLine know that La Quinta will not support this
movement in absence of complete written information.
Mayor Holt advised that other cities share the same concerns.
Council concurred on directing Council Member Adolph (City's representative
on the SunLine Board) to not participate in any further Closed Session meetings
on the issue of providing power service and on directing staff to prepare a
letter to SunLine Services Group that this City Council does not support the
process and without adequate information, cannot support the proposal and,
if necessary, will withdraw from the organization.
Council Member Adolph advised that he has informed SunLine that he will not
vote for the MOU without Council direction and they are looking to get
approval of the MOU at their October 30th meeting which he will not be
attending because of Council's own scheduled Study Session meeting.
Council Member Sniff expressed appreciation to IID for the great job they've
done in providing good rates and service for a long time.
2. DISCUSSION OF THE REGULATIONS REGARDING THE STORAGE AND/OR
PARKING OF RECREATIONAL VEHICLES.
Council Member Perkins suggested that this issue be referred back to the
Planning Commission and that any individual comments or suggestions from
Council be forwarded to staff.
Council concurred.
Mayor Holt advised the audience that the new RV restrictions would not be
enforced until the Planning Commission and Council have completed their
public hearings on this issue.
Council Member Sniff suggested that the public comments received by Council
be made available to the Planning Commission.

Chairman Abels opened the public hearing and asked for the staff report.
Community Development Director Jerry Herman presented the information
contained in the staff report a copy of which is on file in the Community
PC 11-26
Planning Commission Minutes
November 26, 1996
Development Department. Staff distributed to the Commission numerous
correspondences that had been received regarding the RV regulations for their
information.
2. Mr. Dan Corey, 77-671 Calle Potrero, stated he had a motor vehicle home
which was in operational condition and was a major part of his earthquake
preparedness kit. He has been called upon for emergency services during
simulations drills in which his RV served as a mobile command post. This
makes it important to have it at arms reach. It is an injustice to have them
inaccessible.
3. Mr. Gary Doty, 44-525 Marguerite Court, stated that the way his lot is
designed it is impossible to put a mobile home in his sideyard. He stated the
new twenty-four hour limit does not make sense. He asked what a fixed
connection was as when he prepared his RV to use it, he would have it
connected to his house for periods of longer than 24-hours during the summer
months. "Fixed connection" needs to be defined. Visitors come by for three
to five day visits, and now they cannot stay with them and hook up. In his
opinion, Option One is fairest, but does not meet the needs of the citizens of
this town.
4. Mr. John Cook, 54-900 Avenida Rubio, stated he chose to live in the Cove
so he would have a place to put his RV. He wanted it close for life-support
systems. The new RV requirements are vindictive and overbearing. An RV
should be allowed in the sideyard. The way this is written it leaves the
Commission without guidance, or policy direction. He suggested sending it
back to staff to put it together with a policy and a program that follows that
policy.
5. Mrs. Ellen Silva, 54-060 Cortez, stated she had a small 1200 square foot
house so she parks her boat next to the house. Before she purchased the boat,
they checked with City Hall to see if there were any restrictions against
parking her boat in her driveway. At that time there were none. Since the
new regulations have been passed, she has received a letter from the City
stating they would be citing her for the RV storage. The property next door
is very unkept and it is never cited. If the property owner is taking care of
their property and their RV, they should not be cited.
6. Mr. Mike Seams, 52-925 Avenida Bermudas, stated that he understood the
need for a policy pertaining to the upkeep of RV's. When he purchased his
RV, he built a wall and pad, but when he did the City would not allow him
to build a six foot wall. Unless the regulations has been changed, he still
cannot build the six foot wall, only a four foot high wall. Even though the
LJJJ�q
PC l 1-26
16 -aet�ss�-
Planning Commission Minutes
November 26, 1996
RV is screened, the RV is still above the wall. He understands that a RV
storage center is to be built on Adams Street next to Wal-Mart, is this why
this the RV ordinance was passed. Chairman Abels clarified that this had no
has no bearing on this item. The Commission is taking public comments at
this time on this subject. The final decision of the City Council will not
please everyone. Mr. Seams stated he would like to work with the City to
formulate the policies.
7. Mr. Steve Grace, 53-100 Madero, stated he had been a resident of La Quinta
since 1984, and they own a 5th wheel that is currently parked on their
property. He questioned the options that have been presented by staff. All
four options pertain to an average 50-foot lot. These options give the average
lot four different relief situations. In regard to the options, the City is
penalizing the persons with the oversized lot.
8. Mr. Carl Killer, 53-965 Avenida Cortez, stated he was opposed to this
ordinance due to the expense that people have gone to accommodate their
motor homes and these restrictions are unfair. His motor home has been
burglarized twice in security parking lots and he now keeps it parked close
to his house. Anyone who moved to the Cove to have a nice place to place
their RV, should be entitled to do so after the fact. This ordinance should be
changed.
9. Mr. A. C. Moore, 53-795 Avenida Juarez, stated his concern about the time
it took to pass this ordinance to cause these changes. He bought his RV in
May and before purchasing it, he checked with the City to be sure he would
not be violating any City ordinances. He chose La Quinta as he did not want
to live in a gated community. He bought his RV because City saw no reason
to not park his RV at his house. The Planning Commission passed these
regulations without the input from the community. Residents, as voters, if
they have a large enough contingency, require the Commission not only
listen, but appease them. Compromise is not a matter of appeasement. He
noted that a study was made of other cities RV regulations, but those
regulations do not pertain to this community. These regulations apply to
gated communities and he chose not to live in a gated community because he
did not want the rigid rules. It is up to the Commission to establish rules that
the residents can live by so their RV's can be secure they can have
supervision over it rather than putting it in a storage center.
10. Mr. Paul McCallaugh, 52-045 Martinez, stated he agreed with Mr. Moore.
If they wanted to live in a gated community, they would have moved there.
People who work for a living, should be able to live as they see fit as long as
it doesn't break the basic laws of nature. Given an average 50 by 100-foot
PC 11-26
Planning Commission Minutes
November 26, 1996
lot, when the sideyard is barely 5-feet, an 8-foot RV will not fit. It may fit on
a corner lot, but not everyone is on the corner. How do they get an 8-foot
wide RV down a 5-foot sideyard. The RV owners need to have them where
they can have access and keep an eye on it themselves.
11. Chairman Abels stated the Commission has been looking at numerous cities,
such as Baldwin Park and Glendora which are a working mans' city, as well
as others. The Commission will take all these comments into consideration
and reach a solution that is compatible with as many people as they can.
12. Mr. Walter Murray, 53,300 Velasco, stated he lives on a single lot like most
of the Cove and there is no way to hide an RV from view. No one has
mentioned putting a cover over the RV. This would be a compromise. a
fence just can't be done on these small lots.
13. Ms. Carol Jones, 52-805 Avenida Rubio, stated she also has a 50-foot lot and
they have a boat. Before buying the boat they checked with the City and built
a pad to park the boat. The only way they can hide the boat is to build a
structure, and they cannot afford this. Option One appears to be the fairest.
14. Mr. Gerald, Flowers 53-763 Avenida Obregon, asked why the City has to
have an ordinance regarding RV at all. He understands the need to have
ordinance to see that they are maintained and not for habitation on the streets,
but an ordinance is not necessary as the neighbors will complain if they
aren't well maintained. He understands not wanting to have people live in
them, but why the need to have an ordinance.
15. There being no further public comment, Chairman Abels closed the public
comment portion of the public hearing.
16. Commissioner Tyler asked that staff explain how this ordinance had come to
be passed. Community Development Director Jerry Herman stated that two
years ago the City of La Quinta started the process to change the Zoning
Ordinance. He went on to explain the formal process the City had gone
through to make these changes. After reviewing this for two years, the
Planning Commission made a recommendation to the City Council who held
public hearings and adopted the Oridnance.
17. Commissioner Tyler explained that the entire ordinance is over 200 pages and
the RV regulations are a small portion of that document. During the process,
no RV owner was singled out, it was a part of the process. The public had
the opportunity to speak and no one did so at that time.

18. Commissioner Butler asked staff which Option was from the original Zoning
Ordinance. Staff clarified from the staff report, those options that were from
the current ordinance and explained the difference between the options.
19. Commissioner Woodard asked how many people live on the 50-foot lots.
Staff stated there were approximately 6,000 lots in the Cove. About 4,000
have been constructed on and of those some have been merged. Of those
lots, the majority are 50 by 100-feet. Commissioner Woodard asked how
many of the 4,000 have RV's. Staff stated they do not know.
20. Commissioner Tyler stated this is not a problem that is unique to the 50 by
100 lots. There are a lot of lots who only have a five foot sideyard.
21. Commissioner Woodard stated that if the majority of the people have an RV,
then they should "rule the roost". This is an on -going issue of most cities.
There is the issue of aesthetics, land use, property values, upkeep, etc. To
those who do not have an RV, it is not a concern. To those that do not, it is
an unattractive element. Commissioner Woodard stated he had empathy with
the RV owners, but it is the responsibility of the Planning Commission to
look at the overall community.
22. There being no further discussion, it was moved and seconded by
Commissioners Gardner/Newkirk that in view of the comments made by the
public and the community, this item be continued to December 10, 1996, for
further deliberation. Unanimously approved.

2. Commissioner Woodard a d staff to clarify why the directional sign for a
non-profit organization shoul a increased. Staff clarified that the Chamber
of Commerce had installed two si s under the current regulations and it was
determined that the wording was to mall to read while traveling. During

allowed to be installed and it was determi that the larger size was more

I am writing to express my concern about the recently -enacted La Quinta City Ordinance
regarding the parking of recreational vehicles on the street and on private property. I will preface
this by saying that I am an RV owner, and I pay $35 a month to park it in a storage lot because I
don't like how it looks parked in my driveway. I feel I understand both the situation of the RV
owner and the plight of someone who doesn't want to look at an RV in a driveway or street.
I believe that the 24-hour limit on allowing parking of an RV on the street or on private property
functionally deprives RV owners of the use of their vehicles. It is almost impossible to own an
RV and never have it parked at your home for at least 24 hours. For example, if I want to clean
my RV and take it out of storage on Saturday morning, I have to wait until at least Monday
morning to return it to storage, as the lot closes at 2 P.M. Saturday. If I want to leave for the
weekend after work on Friday, I need to get the RV out of storage after work on Wendesday or
Thursday, so that I can have it prepared to go Friday evening.
Another cause for concern for me is that it is virtually impossible to store a trailer, motor home or
truck camper on the average, 50' X 100' LaQuinta residential lot. The only people who have
room to store their RVs in a screened area in side or back years are those with double lots.
Third, I am concerned that this ordinance unfairly discriminates against our less affluent citizens,
who are not able to afford a storage space at a commercial lot. This also includes many of us who
live on 50 front foot lots who have no way to store RVs in our side or back yards. The cost to
store a single RV (and many people have more than one) would be $25 - $35 per month, a cost
which some could not afford. I question whether there even are enough outdoor storage spaces
in the Valley to handle all of the RVs from LaQuinta which would been to be stored.
Perhaps a solution to this problem is for the City to use vacant city -owned land to establish a low-
cost storage yard available only to LaQuinta residents, and accessible to "tenants" 24 hours a day,
seven days a week. While this could be expensive for the City, it would be a resolution to the
problem of unsightly RVs parked in driveways and yards and on the street. This appears to be the
problem you seek to eliminate. 6100 4 )6

Page Two
Until you are able to provide a way for La Quinta residents to have access to their RVs while also
controlling the RV "blight" problem in our community, I feel that you need to recind this unfair
ordinance. Pm sure that other cities have addressed this problem both effectively and fairly, and
you should obtain outside guidance with this situation.

CITY OF LA001N—A
I am a resident of the City of La Quinta, and live at 54-075 Eisenhower Drive. I am
distressed at the recent passage of an ordinance restricting the amount of time a
recreational vehicle may be parked on private property to 24 hours. I don't believe that
this is fair to the many residents of our city who own recreational vehicles. While I
agree that there are some RV eyesores in our community, functionally banning having
them in the city will only create problems for your residents and for the city employees
who have to enforce the ordinance. I own an RV, but I have it parked in a storage lot in
Indio and have it at my home only when I am preparing to use it. I know from
experience that it is almost impossible to get the RV ready to use, or to clean it after it's
been used, and get it back to the storage facility within 24 hours. I would almost
certainly be a candidate for a citation under this ordinance.
I don't know what other avenues the City explored in deciding how to deal with this
issue, but would suggest that other cities may have found effective ways to deal with it.
Has there been any consideration of the City creating an RV storage lot for La Quinta
residents only? As a resident, I would certainly prefer to have my RV closer to my
home, and to have it available to me for more hours than my current storage facility
allows.
I hope that you will either revoke this ordinance or suspend its enforcement until a more
equitable solution to this problem can be found.
Sincerely,
Sharon Koski

re: Recreation Vehicle Parking
Dear Sir,
Granting that some R. Vs parked in the city do cause
some public concern, it does not merit creation of an ordinance outlawing
all R.V.s in La Quinta.
There are ugly fences, ugly houses, unkept yards, ungodly looking
vehicles and empty lots beyond description and last but not least barking
dogs that keep you awake all night, yet you target R. Vs,
Most of the R. Vs. within the city are attractive and in no way
offencive to the eye.
1 can go along with no overnight parking in the street, no living
in an R. V.and that they be parked no closer than six feet fr sn7 the curb.
I am sure with those restrictions no-one or few people will be harmed.
I tried to find adequate storage for my R. V. and was told there was none
available and I would be put on a waiting list. this is not acceptable.
Take care of the many other problems Le Quinte faces and don' t
pick on R. Vs. we are a II gone during the summer so our.. R. V& are gone
also.
To fence them in is next to impossible, the winds would tear down
anything high enough to conceal them. TH EY ARE N OT TH AT BI G A PROBLEM

Dear Mr. Herman,
My husband and i have read your Notice of Public Hearing regarding the amendment to Chapter
9.60 regarding "(Supplemental Residential Regulations" and Recreational Vehicle Parking. Neither of
us were able to discern if the Planning Commission is considering the elimination or addition of
recreational vehicle parkingl
Therefore, we felt that since we are adamantly opposed to street parking of large vehicles and
have seen the "eye sores" created in neighborhoods, we should express our opinion - we do not
know if this is in support or opposition to the Amendment, but we do not want Recreational Vehicles
parked for longer than required to pack/unpack. We would like to see a 48 hour parking on La CN-jinta
streets if this is not already in effect and some sort of regulation preventing the parking of cars in yards
or working on cars for extended periods in front areas of community.
Property Values in this area have a potential for tremendous increase with golf course expansion
and we would hope that the City of La Quinta would do everything possible to promote a clean and
safe environment to protect or increase the value of residing in LaQuinta.

I am emphatically opposed to an amendment to Chapter 9.60 "supplemental
residential regulations" specifically Section 9.60.130 recreational vehicle
parking.
I feel that this proposed relaxation of the "rules" that make the City of La
Quinta the wonderful community it is, will have a negative impact and will,
I believe, adversely affect the tranquil atmosphere of the town.
Please consider my opposition to this amendment when you formulate your
decision.

PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
DATE: NOVEMBER 26, 1996
CASE NO.: ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT 96-053 - AMENDMENT TO THE
MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 9.60.130 - RECREATIONAL VEHICLES
INITIATED BY: CITY OF LA QUINTA
CONSIDERATION: CONSIDERATION OF AN AMENDMENT TO REVISE THE CURRENT
CODE
BACKGROUND:
At the City Council meeting of October 1, 1996 and October 15, 1996 (Attachments 1 and 2),
Council received several comments from numerous residents who expressed their objections to the
current Recreational Vehicle (RV) regulations as adopted in the new Zoning Code. Staff was then
directed to take the issue back to the Planning Commission for a public hearing and mail a notice
to the occupant of each City address, in addition to the required normal newspaper publication,
notifying each resident of the date and time for the Planning Commission and City Council public
hearing. Staff did a bulk mailing, published, and posted the notices as required. The City Council
also suspended enforcement of the regulations pending re-evaluation of the Ordinance by the
Planning Commission. The issue is now before the Planning Commission for a recommendation
to the City Council.
The existing ordinance permits an RV to be parked in the side or rear yard provided it is screened.
The RV may be parked in the open or in the street for no more than 24 hours at a time. The City of
Indian Wells' regulations were used to draft the adopted regulations (Attachment 3).
The Planning Commission could recommend that the City not adopt regulations pertaining
to the parking or storage of RV's with the exception of the 72 hour storage limitation as
provided for by the California State Vehicle Code for parking on a public street. With this
option, the property owner could park an RV, as they have been defined, anywhere on their
property.
2. The Planning Commission could recommend maintaining the current RV regulations.
However, this would continue to create problems with small lots or the lots in general that
have been constructed with small side yards. 000414
PCST.01 32
Some options the Planning Commission can consider are contained in Attachment 4. The Planning
Commission can chose to recommend one of these options, modify, or add to these
recommendations.
STAFF COMMENTS
The City currently has no RV storage facilities within its corporate limits. There has been no study
to determine how many spaces are available in the Valley, but according to those that spoke during
the Council meetings, there does not appear to be enough. In addition, some RV owners have
indicated that paying the storage fee and/or the uncertainty of their RV as it relates to vandalism, is
of great concern.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff would recommend that the Commission take public testimony and review the options. Based
Upon the discussion, the Commission can close the public hearing and continue the Commission
deliberation to December 10, 1996, or, continue the public hearing. In any case, provide direction
to staff regarding any option changes.

Council Member Perkins spoke regarding the construction on Highway 111 and
expressed concern about keeping the entrances open into the Plaza La Quinta
Shopping_ Center during the upcoming holidays. He also advised that the street
signs are not illuminated at night at Adams Street/Fred Waring Drive and
Adams Street/Miles Avenue and the street lights stay on 24 hours a day.
Mr. Cosper advised that the east entrance of the shopping center would remain
open during Phase II of the construction except for intermittent closings.
Council recessed to Closed Session to and until the hour of 7:00 p.m.
Mayor Holt abstained from participating in Closed Session due to a conflict of
interest.

Council Member Sniff advised that he shared their concerns and wished that things
had been done differently. He asked that this issue be brought back to Council for
reconsideration and possible amendment.
Council Member Perkins agreed, advising that ordinances can be amended. He
suggested an immediate moratorium against enforcement of this section of the
ordinance until this issue is brought back to Council for a good hard look. His only
complaint regarding RV's and boats is when they are parked on the street for long
periods of time and the street sweeper is unable to clean the street or when grass is
allowed to grow beneath the vehicle. He also felt that the City should work on its
public notification process.
In response to Mayor Holt, Ms. Honeywell, City Attorney, advised that the Council
cannot take any official action on this matter because it's not on the agenda.
However, the City Manager has administrative power to extend the deadline for being
in compliance with the zoning ordinance and thus allow time to agendize this matter
for Council's reconsideration.
Council Member Henderson advised that adoption of this ordinance was a long
process wherein a substantial number of people attended the meetings and asked the
Council to restrict parking to 24 hours instead of three days. Council struggled with
the ordinance and the issue of regulating the use of one's own private property. She
advised that she voted for the ordinance, but was not comfortable with this issue and
is pleased that it will be reconsidered. She supported forming a Council/resident
committee to work out the details.
Council Member Adolph concurred, noting that both the Planning Commission and
Council struggled with placing restrictions on the use of private property, but the only
public input Council received was in support of restrictions and none in opposition.
He was in favor of staff getting together with residents to gain input o0 1�QUE.

City Council Minutes 23 October 1, 1996
Mayor Holt commented on Council's appreciation of public input, pointing out that
they must know what the community wants to effectively carry out their
responsibilities.
Mr. Genovese, City Manager, advised that this matter would be agendized for the
October 15, 1996 meeting to discuss methods for reviewing the ordinance such as
a Council/resident committee.
Ms. Honeywell advised that it could be agendized and discussed in general at the
October 15th meeting, but the Council cannot take final action on it until it has gone
back through the Planning Commission public -hearing process because it's a Zoning
Ordinance. She advised that public hearings require ten days public notification prior
to the hearing, making the second meeting in November the earliest date for a
Planning Commission public hearing. If the Planning Commission makes a
recommendation to Council at that meeting, then it can be scheduled for a public
hearing before the Council sometime in December. That would be the minimal
timeframe for revising the Zoning Ordinance.
Mr. Genovese advised that staff would place information regarding the public hearing
dates on the RV Hotline.
Kim Russell, 51-225 Avenida Velasco, spoke toZenvimentai
ondence No. 1 from

the valley. She asked Council for help in gettinagencies to test the
valley's water, soil, andair in an attempt to find e so many leukemia

In response to Mayor Holt, Mr. Genovese, ity Manager, advised that the Assistant
City Manager would help them identify gencies to contact.
Council Member Henderson sugge$ ed that they give the same presentation to the
Human Services Commission so ey, too, can track this issue and keep the Council
informed.
Ms. Russell didn't wish to (ber

times the expected n of leukemia cases in the valley and the Cancer
Surveillance and Trac g Center.doesn't seem to be alarmed. She hoped that with

MINUTES
October 15, 1996
Regular meeting of the La Quinta City Council of October 15, 1996 was called to
order at the hour of 3:00 p.m. by Mayor Holt, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.
PRESENT: Council Members Adolph, Henderson, Perkins, Sniff, Mayor Holt
ABSENT: None
Gertrude Cheney, 54-255 Avenida Carranza, spoke regarding the rights of hikers
using the bike path versus bicyclists. She felt that bikes should have lights and some
type of warning system to alert walkers when they are approaching.
..*.....tom..
Karl Keller, 53-965 Avenida Cortez, urged the Council to extend the allowed parking
time for RV's in residential areas to 72 hours which he felt would be more in line with
other communities and less inconvenient to RV users. He felt that having junk cars
parked in the neighborhood was a bigger problem. He also spoke about dogs running
loose and leaving their excrement on the bikepath.
Mayor Holt advised that the Council would be taking another look at the RV issue and
that the new parking restrictions wouldn't be enforced until that review has been
completed.
Tom Priestley, 44-300 Camino La Vanda, advised that he was told by the Planning
Department in September 1995, that his property is not subject to the City's setback
provisions because of their CC&R's. Therefore, he didn't feel that he was subject to
the new RV parking restrictions.
Mike Seems, 52-925 Avenida Bermudas, spoke against the RV parking restrictions,
advising that when he constructed a parking pad and block wall for his RV, no one
from the City told him that he wouldn't be able to park his RV there.
John Klimkiewicz, 77-318 Calle Temecula, advised that he's been a resident for 20
years and didn't expect seniors to be penalized for owning RV's when he voted for
incorporation. He felt that the ordinance is unfair.
Jack Barth, 77-125 Calle Temecula, also spoke to the RV issue, advising that it's
difficult to find a place to park RV's and he felt that there's worse blight in the City
than RV's.

Council Member Adolph advised that he would d whatever Council directs,
noting that his only concern has been to prote the City.
Council Member Sniff pointed out that t process will continue with or
without Council Member Adolph's partic' ation and he felt that this Council
should speak up and let SunLine kno that La Ouinta will not support this
movement in absence of complete wr' en information.
Mayor Holt advised that other citief share the same concerns.
Council concurred on directing 96uncil Member Adolph (City's representative
on the SunLine Board) to not pa icipate in any further Closed Session meetings
on the issue of providing po er service and on directing staff to prepare a
letter to SunLine Services oup that this City Council does not support the
process and without adeq to information, cannot support the proposal and,
if necessary, will withdra from the organization.
Council Member Adolph dvised that he has informed SunLine that he will not
vote for the MOU wolout Council direction and they are looking to get
approval of the MO U at their October 30th meeting which he will not be
attending because of Council's own scheduled Study Session meeting.
Council Member Sr ff expressed appreciation to IID for the great job they've
done in providing gpod rates and service for a long time.
DISCUSSION OF THE REGULATIONS REGARDING THE STORAGE AND/OR
PARKING OF RECREATIONAL VEHICLES.
Council Member Perkins suggested that this issue be referred back to the
Planning Commission and that any individual comments or suggestions from
Council be forwarded to staff.
Council concurred.
Mayor Holt advised the audience that the new RV restrictions would not be
enforced until the Planning Commission and Council have completed their

OPTIONS FOR PLANNING COMMISSION
CONSIDERATION REGARDING
"RECREATIONAL VEHICLES"
Currently the Code is written as follows:
Section 9.60.130 Recreational Vehicle Parking.
A. Purpose. Recreational vehicles may be parked or stored on residentially
zoned property only in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section. Recreation vehicles
parked within a validly established recreation vehicle storage facility are exempt from the
requirements of this Section.
B. Definition. For purposes of this Code, a "recreational vehicle" or "RV" shall
mean all trailers or any vehicle placed on a tailer such as a boat, watercraft, or other vehicle, plus any
vehicle designed and used for temporary habitation, including motor homes, travel trailers, "5th
wheels", and camper shells. For purposes of this Section, "stored" shall mean the same as "parked".
Staff is proposing the following changes as options to be considered by the Planning
Commission:
OPTION 1:
C. RV Parking/Storage locations.
1. For lots which are developed with a private single family residence
with interior side yards (both) of eight feet or less, and no other on -site parking areas located outside
of the front or sideyard setback, RV's may be stored in the following location:
a.) Within an existing carport. If an existing carport is not suitable
due to size limitations, then the following location may be used:
1.) Interior Lots: Within the side/front yard setback areas
located adjacent to side yard property line and/on/or adjacent to the driveway.
2.) Corner Lots: As an option, the RV may be parked
within the rear yard area adjacent to the rear property line and the structure, behind the front sideyard
setback.
b.) If these locations are not available, then the RV may be parked
on the garage or carport driveway.
00�4::3
41
2. For lots developed with a private single family residence with an
interior side yard of more than eight feet, the RV shall be stored within the side or rear yard setbacks
behind the front yard setback line and shall be screened with a six foot fence, wall, or view -
obscuring gate with appropriate fencing materials as stated in the Code.
D. Parking/storage of RV's shall only be allowed on areas where the ground
surface has been surfaced with an all-weather material such as concrete, asphalt, brick, or stone.
E. No RV shall intrude into any public sidewalk or curb or travelway.
F. No RV shall have fixed connections to electricity, water, gas, or sanitary
sewer facilities, nor shall any such RV at any time be used for living or housekeeping purposes
within the City.
G. All such RV's shall be kept in good repair and in working condition with the
current vehicular registration and markings, as applicable to the vehicle type, unless stored in a
garage.
H. Except for the provisions stated above for storage locations and for validly -
established recreational vehicles facilities, no RV shall be parked for more than 72 hours at any
location or combination of locations within the City..
I. The above provisions shall not affect the validity, application, or enforcement
of any covenants, conditions, or restrictions (CC&R's) or any other agreement/conditions relating
to the parking and storage of RV's, if the CC&R's or agreements/conditions are more restrictive than
the provisions of this Section.
OPTION 2:
NOTE: This is the current regulations except the hours (last sentence) were changed from 24
hours to 72 hours.
A. Same as above
B. Same as above
C. Storage of RV's: RV's may be stored within residential rear or side yards
except where fence heights are limited to less than six feet (per Section 9.60.030), provided a three-
foot setback is maintained between the RV and the property line. The storage area shall be screened
with landscaping or other materials so that the RV is not visible from adjoining properties or from
any street abutting the property. Non -landscape screening over six feet in height shall conform to
the applicable height limitations of the district. This may require additional setback for the RV
storage area. Except for the preceding storage locations and for validly -established recreational
vehicle storage facilities, no RV shall be parked for more than -24 72 hours at any location or
combination of locations within the City. 0 0 ii 4 ,'? �!

OPTION 3:
Retain the ordinance as written.
OPTION 4:
Any other combination of the above, or any new recommendations made by the Planning
Commission.
OPTION 5:
Keep the existing regulations, but make it applicable to those areas zoned RL and RM. This
means the RC (Cove area) would be exempt from these regulations for the storage of RV's, except
for the 72 hours provision.
OPTION 6:
Keep the existing regulations and exempt existing nonconforming lots (i.e., lots under 7,200
square feet), but maintain the 72 hour provision.

EXCERPT FROM PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT FOR
DECEMBER 10, 1996
OPTION 1:
A. Purpose. Recreational vehicles may be parked or stored on residentially zoned property only
in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section. Recreation vehicles parked within
a validly established recreation vehicle storage facility are exempt from the requirements of
this Section.
B. Definition. For purposes of this Code, a "recreational vehicle" or "RV" shall mean all
trailers or any vehicle placed on a tailer such as a boat, watercraft, or other vehicle, plus any
vehicle designed and used for temporary habitation, including motor homes, travel trailers,
"5th wheels", and camper shells. For purposes of this Section, "stored" shall mean the same
as "parked".
C. RV Parking/Storage locations.
I . For lots which are developed with a private single family residence with both interior
side yards of eight feet or less, and no other on -site parking areas located outside of
the front or sideyard setback, RV's may be stored in the following location:
NOTE: If the RV is within a garage, it is not visible and should not be a concern.
a.) Within an existing carport. If an existing carport is not suitable due to size
limitations, then the following location may be used:
1.) Interior Lots: Within the side/front yard setback areas located
adjacent to side yard property line and/on/or adjacent to the driveway.
2.) Corner Lots: As an option, the RV may be parked within the rear yard
area adjacent to the rear property line and the structure, behind the
front sideyard setback.
b.) If these locations are not available, then the RV may be parked entirely on the
garage or carport driveway.
2. For lots developed with a private single family residence with an interior side yard
of more than eight feet, the RV shall be stored within the side or rear yard setbacks
behind the front yard setback line and shall be screened with a six foot fence, wall,
or view -obscuring gate with appropriate fencing materials as stated in the Code.
PCST.001 UOJ426
44
NOTE: Section 9.60.030 of the Zoning Code, states that only pedestrian gates not exceeding 48-
inches in width are permitted except that larger non pedestrian gates are permitted when a
sideyard is 12 feet or more. Therefore, this section would have to be amended to permit RV access
for side yards of less than 12 feet.
D. Parking/storage of RV's shall only be allowed on areas where the ground surface has been
surfaced with an all-weather material such as concrete, asphalt, brick, or stone.
E. No RV shall intrude over any public sidewalk or curb or travelway.
F. No RV parked or stored at the residence shall have a permanent connection to electricity,
water, gas, or sanitary sewer facilities, nor shall any such RV at any time be used for living
purposes within the City.
G. All such RV's shall be kept in good repair and in working condition with current vehicular
registration and markings, as applicable to the vehicle type, unless stored in a garage.
H. Except for the provisions stated above for storage locations and for validly -established
recreational vehicles facilities, RV's may be parked on the street in front of the residence
occupied by said resident for a period not to exceed 72 hours.
I. The above provisions shall not affect the validity, application, or enforcement of any
covenants, conditions, or restrictions (CC&R's) or any other agreement/conditions relating
to the parking and storage of RV's, if the CC&R's or agreements/conditions are more
restrictive than the provisions of this Section.
OPTION 2:
There currently exists a large number of RV in the City based upon public testimony received. Other
communities in the valley have allowed the grand fathering of RV until such time as the residence
or RV is sold, then RV's would not be allowed to be stored openly on the lot. What this would do
over time is to eliminate RV's in the City unless they are stored in the side, rear yard behind a wall
or gate, or within an enclosed garage.
A. Purpose. Recreational vehicles may be parked or stored on residentially zoned property only
in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section. Recreation vehicles parked within
a validly established recreation vehicle storage facility are exempt from the requirements of
this Section.
B. Definition. For purposes of this Code, a "recreational vehicle" or "RV" shall mean all
trailers or any vehicle placed on a tailer such as a boat, watercraft, or other vehicle, plus any
vehicle designed and used for temporary habitation, including motor homes, travel trailers,
"5th wheels", and camper shells. For purposes of this Section, "stored" shall mean the same
as "parked". 0 0 0 4 9W 7

STATEMENT TO THE LA QUINTA CITY COUNCIL
Public Hearing on Section 9.60.130 La Quinta Municipal Code
Recreational Vehicle Parking
by Mack Carter 53-495 Avenida Bermudas
Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers:
I do not address long term parking or storage of RV's at
residences.
My comments to you are limited to the need to load and unload
my RV at my residence in La Quinta.
The Ordinance revision as forwarded to you by the City
Planning Commission would not permit that.
Specifically, I refer to Section C.l.a.l in which the word
"perpendicular" is used, and in Section I which limits parking
on the street in front of the residence..."
Unfortunately, some of us, due to street improvements on
Bermudas, do not have as much front yard area as is true in
other areas of the City. We cannot park an RV of 30' in length
perpendicular to the front property line. It is also true
that we cannot park on the street for any amount of time due
to the location of a fire hydrant and stop sign.
Attached are two visuals. The first marked "A" is a rough
layout of my double lot at the corner of Bermudas and Colima.
The second "B" is a duplicate of three photographs of the same
location.
If you look at "A" you will see that due to the location of
the fire hydrant at the northern property boundary and the
"STOP" sign near the southern boundary, an RV cannot be parked
on the street in front of my either of my two lots.
It is my request to you that in consideration of any ordinance
or ordinance amendment you may act upon; allow the temporary
parking of RV's in the front setback area. Enclosure "A" shows
how that could be accomplished. I believe the proposed 72 hour
period would be sufficient.
k you fox` yo'Ur consideration.

CONSENT CALENDAR:
ITEM TITLE:
STUDY SESSION:
Zoning Ordinance Amendment 96-054, an Amendment
to the Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 9.160 of the PUBLIC HEARING:
Municipal Code relating to Signs
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to take up Ordinance No. by title and number only and waive further reading.
Motion to introduce Ordinance No. on first reading.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
The Planning Commission at its November 26, 1996 meeting (Attachment 1), reviewed the
proposed modifications to the Sign Ordinance and recommended approval. The proposed
Ordinance incorporates the changes made at the Planning Commission meeting.
The Current Sign Regulation; Chapter 9.160, were adopted by the City Council on April 2,
1996, under Ordinance 281. The City Council on October 15, 1996, adopted Urgency
Ordinance 286. This Ordinance permits businesses to post unlimited temporary signs
during construction projects by the Public Works Department. At its November 19, 1996,
meeting, the City Council adopted Ordinance 290 allowing continuation of the Interim
Urgency Ordinance.
In addition to incorporating the urgency ordinance into the existing sign regulations, staff,
in conjunction with the City Attorney, recommends the following revisions to the Sign
Ordinance for consistency and clarification:
1. Table 1601: "Exempt Signs not Requiring a Permit", Item 15 shall be modified to
increase the size of the sign from three square feet to six square feet for better
readability.
KKy111C1I1
000440
2. Table 1601: "Exempt Signs not Requiring a Permit", Item 18 shall be added stating:
Temporary for sale, lease, open house or rent signs if the sign size does not exceed
six square feet in area and four feet in height. These sign types are proposed for
deletion from Section 9.160.60 "Permitted Temporary Signs", because of the 60-day
time limit and the total number of signs not being enough for real estate listings by
individual realtors.
3. Section 9.160.060 "Placement Restriction", Item F, sentence 3, shall read
Temporary signs shall be placed no less than 200 feet apart from identical or
substantially similar temporary signs which are visible simultaneously within the
boundaries of the City". In the further interest of clarity this statement shall then be
removed from Section G. "Sign Permit Required", first sentence.
4. Section 9.160.060.1 shall be added stating: The placement of temporary signs for
existing commercial businesses during the construction of any Department of Public
Works contract over 45-days in length, where the ingress and egress points to a

8. Staff has also provided clarification in Sections 9.60.170 and 9.100.140, Temporary
Outdoor Events, that directional signs (c) are subject to the provisions of 9.160.060,
Temporary Signs, Paragraph C through H, with the exception of Paragraph E. This
sign type was not addressed previously.
Environmental Assessment 96-314 was prepared for the existing Sign Ordinance, and
pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, it has been determined that no new effects occur and no
new mitigation measures are required.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
1. The proposed revisions will not adversely affect the planned development of the
City as specified by the General Plan for the City of La Quinta because the sign
regulations provide requirements which work in concert with and enhance the
community.
2. The proposed Amendment would not be detrimental to the health, safety, and
welfare of the City because the sign regulations are designed to insure that unsafe
conditions do not occur.
3. There will be no significant adverse impacts resulting from this Zoning Ordinance
Amendment because the sign regulations not only enhance the community, but also
eliminate sign clutter.
Options available to the City Council:
1. Approve the revisions to the Sign Ordinance;
2. Deny the revisions to the Sign Ordinance; or
3. Provide direction to staff.

non-profit organization should be increased. Staff clarified that the Chamber

3. Commissioner Gardner asked if the original sign would be adequate after the
street construction was over. Staff stated it would not due to the wording
being too small to read. Commissioner Gardner asked what about the profit
paying customers; would they also get an enlarged sign size? Staff stated
they are governed by other parts of the Zoning Ordinance.

5. Commissioner Tyler addressed Item #J of the proposed ordinance. Staff
clarified that a new business has 45-days after opening to apply for a banner.
Commissioner Tyler asked why the business owner would not have the
banner up on the day he opened. Staff explained that sometimes the business
is open but not completed and they are waiting to get signs up before putting
up a banner. Discussion followed regarding time lengths for banners.
Following discussion, it was determined that for a "Grand Opening" banner,
an applicant would be allowed 30 days to apply and 30 days to display it.
6. Commissioner Gardner asked if when a person applies for a business permit
are they informed of the sign regulations. Staff stated not until they ask about
the signs and then they are directed to the Community Development
Department to answer those questions. Discussions followed regarding the
process for obtaining a sign.

WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Quinta wishes to promote the City
of La Quinta's great interest in protecting and preserving the quality of the residential, commercial
and industrial areas of the City, and the quality of life through effective land use planning; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council has recently approved an extensive revision to the
City's entire Zoning Ordinance which removed certain development restrictions from the area
bounded by AREA A: Bounded by Avenida Nuestra to the south, Calle Rondo on the east, Avenida
Ultimo on the north and Washington Street on the west; AREA B: Bounded by Sagebrush on the
north, 50th Avenue on the south, Washington Street on the west, and the Evacuation Channel on the
east; AREA C: Bounded by La Fonda on the north, Avenida Nuestra on the south, Washington
Street on the east, and 100-feet west of Calle Guatemala; and AREA D: East of the Bear Creek
Channel, north of Montezuma, west of the Yucatan area; and,
WHEREAS, it has come to the attention of the Council and the neighborhood effected
by the removal of those restrictions that insufficient public input was received during the Zoning
Ordinance update to determine whether the removal of said restrictions best suited the land use
development for that neighborhood and that immediate additional study and review of the potential
impacts is needed with more involvement of the impacted property owners and residents; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 289 as an urgency because
unless the issuance of building permits is stopped altogether or building permits are allowed only
where the RC Cove Residential District development standards are met, the character of the
neighborhood may be permanently altered by construction which would not meet the existing
character and nature of existing development and in a manner contrary to the best planning
guidelines for the area and the residents and property owners therein; and, U 0 V 4 IS
