Dear Mr. Pena:
On May SCAG requested comments on an WRCOG proposal entitled Balanced
Development in Southern California" copy enclosed).
Our Southern California headquarters, Building Industry Association of Southern California,
has now responded to that request, with the building industry point of view, and I thought you
might be interested in our thinking.
We would appreciate it if your governing body would take a position on this issue, as it seems
that SCAG staff is intent on making it happen", which we believe would be counterproductive
to the economic j;ece? of Southern California.

Mayor John J. Pena and City Council Members?
City of La Quinta i 2 27
78-495 Calle Tampice
La Quinta, CA 92253 i
Dear Mayor and Council:
It is with deep regret that I now find I must resign as
Volunteer Coordinator of the LA QUINTA VOLUNTEER
EFFORT program.
In May 1993 when I proposed a volunteer program to both
the City Manager and the city council, I had high hopes
thatthat by the time the Fiscal Year 1994-1995? budget
began1 the program would be Up and Running. It was my
intent that a volunteer program could make a contribut-
ion to the city and its budget constraints.
Many of the departments within the city have provided
much help and cooperation, while others have not. Mean-
while the office of City Manager has changed, shifts in
directions have been made and the program has been elim-
inated from the current budget.
From February to July 11th. of this year I have had a total
of four surgical procedures, however, only the most recent
one, where I have been unable to use my voice, I feel has
had any affect on the program. I'm just beginning to get
my speaking voice back to normal again.
I still believe the L.Q.V.E. can be great help to our city,
but until such time when all of the department heads are
willing to support the program, it could drag on for still
another year or so. I am not in a position to spend another
year of frustration.
Many THANKS for your past considerations.
Sincerely,
Norris S. Bernard

WRrl.l?N CORItESPONDENCE e.
Mayor and City Council
City of La Quinta
P.O. Box 1504
La Quinta, CA 92253
Honorable Ma??or and Members of the City Council:
I and the other members of the Board of Directors of the Santa Rosa Cove Homeo??ners
Association are deeply concerned with the action taken by the City Council on July 5 with regard
to the Ci?'s Landscape and Lighting District 9-1. The elimination of the special benefit zones is
not only inequitable, but it is subject to legal challenge.
In administering the District for over six years, it was my understanding that the enabling 1972 Act
provides that the method of assessment of properties must demonstrate benefit, and I would submit
that equitable benefit to all areas of the City in a single City-wide assessment cannot be
demonstrated. This is particularly true in the case of gated communities such as Santa Rosa Cove,
PGA West, Laguna de Ia Paz, Parc La Quinta, and several others.
A review of City records will show that the most expensive maintenance area in the City lies north
of State Highwa?' Ill. This results from the fact that all of the recent residential developments in
that area except for Palm Royale and La Quinta Palms opted to go without homeowners
associations, leaving the Landscape and Lighting District to maintain perimeter landscaping along
such streets as Fred Waring, Miles and Dune Palms and storm drainage retention basins in those
tracts. The action taken by the City Council on Julv 5 now means that all of the other areas in the
Ci? must subsidize the cost of that maintenance. This is particularly onerous and inequitable to
residents in gated communities who must maintain their o? perimeter landscaping
Residents who purchase property in gated communities do so with the realization that there are
certain inequities involved. While they are taxed no differently than other properties in the City,
they know that they must pay for the construction and maintenance of their infrastructure---there
will be no gift construction from a Redevelopment Agency nor will their streets be repaired and
swept by the Ci?. However, I know of nothing that grants the City the license to heap inequities
upon inequities. Even the original staff proposal had inequities built into it. For example, how can
a case be made for assessing gated communities for the maintenance of Fritz Burns Park on the
same basis as those properties in the Cove who will benefit the most from its development? The
amenities proposed for that park already exist in Santa Rosa Cove, with its several s??imming
pools, tennis courts and abundant space for picnic outings Sinyjlarly, why should gated
communities help pay for the maintenance of the Cove?s minipark and the Palm Royale Park?
As a matter of fact, no matter how large or small an assessment is made against gated communites
in 1994-95, it appears that little benefit will result, since the Council plans no landscaping
installations in the dirt medians that now exist on the major arterials. It will be recalled that I
recommended a vear ago that the assessments in the City-wide zone be increased to landscape at
least Washington, Tampico and Eisenhower. It was disappointing that the Council decided to not

ITEM TITLE: STUDY SESSION:
Consideration of Time Extension request for Special PUBLIC REARING:
Advertising Devices 94-040 and 94-045 permitting
temporary flags for Laguna De La Paz'1 on Eisenhower
Drive west of Washington Street
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a six month time extension for Special Advertising Devices 94-040 4 flags) and 94-045
6 flags), and an amendment request to permit an additional ten temporary flags total twenty
flags) subject to the attached Findings and Conditions of Approval.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
Municipal Code Chapter 5.64 Special Advertising Devices) provides for a permit to be issued by
the City Council for advertising devices other that the usual and customary permanent business
identification signs. As identified in this application the special advertising devices requested
are flags.
On February 1, 1994, the City Council reviewed a request to install four subdivision flags SAD
94-040) adjacent to the project's northeast property line on Washington Street at 48th Avenue
Attachment 1). The City Council approved the request on a 3-1-1 vote Council Member
Mccartney voting no and Council Member Perkins abstaining). However, the Council voted to
limit the applicant's approval to a six month period. The flag permit expired on August 1st. The
flags are made of turquoise canvas and do not have any information printed on them. Each flag
is +3-feet by j6-feet in size. The PVC poles are proposed to be white Attachment 2).
On June 21, 1994, the City Council reviewed a request to install six additional flags on Eisenhower
Drive at the existing sales area parking lot refer to Attachment 1). The City Council approved
the request SAD 94-045) on a 3-1-1 vote Council Member McCartney voting no and Council
Member Perkins abstaining). The flag permit expired on August 1st.
Fin din?s
Section 5.64.020 provides, in part, that permits are to be issued for special purposes, and
not on a continuing basis for permanent advertising or identification purposes", and further,
each permit shall be issued for a specific period of time subject to renewal for good cause
shown".

ing -> 12The Council's consideration for granting of this permit must find that the special advertising
device applied for would not:
1. Constitute a traffic hazard or nuisance to adjacent or surrounding properties or to the
public at large; or,
2. Be detrimental to the public convenience or welfare; or,
3. Be inconsistent with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan and all other
officially adopted policies and regulation of the City.
Time Extension and Amendment Request
On July 5, 1994, the applicant made a written request asking for permission to leave the existing
ten flags in place to assist the existing sales program. No specific time frame was requested
Attachment 3a).
On July 14, 1994, the applicant made an additional request to increase the number of flags from
ten to twenty. Ten new flags would be used along Eisenhower Drive at the sales area Attachment
3b).
ANALYSISIFISCAL IMPACT:
On September 10, 1990, a policy was approved by the City Council regarding the number of
advertising flags in residential subdivisions. The policy states that a maximum of 21 flags may
be approved. The rationale is that more than 21 flags is excessive and 21 flags is sufficient to
provide an advertising statement. The applicant is requesting approval to install ten new flags
in addition to the ten previously approved flags to draw attention to their existing sales program.
Flags have been used by many developers in La Quinta and have been shown not to be detrimental
to the surrounding neighborhood if used properly. Staff recommends that the flags be allowed
to remain until February, 1995.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
I. Approve a six month time extension for Special Advertising Devices 94-040 and 94-045, and
an amendment request to permit an additional ten temporary flags subject to the attached
Findings and Conditions of Approval;
2. Deny the request.

Consideration of a Request For Proposals PUBIAC HEARING:
for the Preparation of a New Subdivision
Ordinance
RECOMMEND?ON:
* Approve the Request for Proposal RFP) for the Preparation of a New Subdivision Ordinance.
* Appoint Two 2) Members of the City Council to the Consultant Selection Committee.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
There will be no fiscal impact to the City until a consultant has been selected, terms of an agreement
have been determined and the Council acts on the agreement. The FY 1994/95 Budget includes
$?,()0() in funding for the development of a new subdivision ordinance.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW::
The current Subdivision Ordinance is out of date and, in many areas, not in compliance with the
Subdivision Map Act, the General Plan and the proposed Zoning Ordinance. Therefore, funds were
set aside in the FY?994!95 Budget to prepare a new, comprehensive subdivision ordinance.
A Request For Proposals RFP) Attachment 1) has been prepared that will be sent to qualified
consultants with experience in preparing Subdivision Ordinances. Proposals are due from the
consultants on August 31, 1994. The proposals are to include the following:
* a detailed work program explaining their firm's approach to preparing the Subdivision
Ordinance.
* an overall project budget in a separate envelope).
* requirements of City staff and City resources.
* a project team organization chart. 000038

Staff recommends a Consultant Selection Committee, consisting of two 2) members of the City
Council, the Planning and Development Director and the Public Works Director/City Engineer, to
review the submitted proposals and select a maximum of three consultants to be interviewed by the
Consultant Selection Committee. Based upon the outcome of the interviews, the Consultant Selection
Committee will make a recommendation to the City Council to make the final decision on the selection
of the consultant.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
Alternatives available for Council consideration are:
Proceed with the staff's recommendation as outlined above which would allow the City to update
its Subdivision Ordinance to comply with State and local ordinances.
2. Prepare Subdivision Ordinance with in-house staff. The preparation of a comprehensive
Subdivision Ordinance requires an astute knowledge of current land use and subdivision law at
the State and local level. This level of expertise is currently not available with in-house staff
to cost effectively prepare such a document within a reasonable amount of time.

ITEM TIThE: Consideration of a Three-Way Stop at Roadrunner
Lane and Westward Ho Drive and a Four-Way Stop PUBLIC HEARING:
at Dune Palms Road and Westward Ho Drive
RECOMMENDATION:
* Approve the installation of stop signs on Westward Ho Drive to stop east and west bound traffic
at the Roadrunner Lane intersection thereby making it a 3-way stop intersection.
* Approve the installation of stop signs on Dune Palms Road to stop north and south bound traffic
at the Westward Ho Drive intersection thereby making it a 4-way stop intersection.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
ESTIMATED ACTUAL COST: $1,000
BUDGETED: FUND/ACCOUNT: Street Signs AMOUNT: $5,000
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
Engineering staff recently investigated a report of a sight distance problem at the intersection of
Westward Ho Drive and Roadrunner Lane. The investigation confirms the reported problem; north
bound traffic stopped on Roadrunner Lane at the Westward Ho Drive stop sign has insufficient time,
due to insufficient clear sight distance, to safely gain access to Westward Ho Drive. The sight distance
problem occurs 750 feet west of the intersection where Westward Ho Drive passes through a low spot
and climbs a hill before reaching the subject intersection. Safety at this intersection is further
complicated by several minor sight obstructions occurring east of the intersection. The sight
obstructions located east of the intersection tend to cause a motorist to concentrate on the sight
difficulties encountered in that direction and give little attention to the less noticeable sight distance
problem located to the west of the intersection. Staff proposes to remedy the situation by installing stop
signs on Westward Ho Drive to make the Westward Ho/Roadrunner intersection a 3-way stop
intersection.
Staff has also evaluated a proposal for a 4-way stop at another intersection in the same general
neighborhood. Desert Sands Unified School District initially requested a 4-way stop at the intersection

ing -> 120of Westward Ho Drive and Dune Palms Road when the street plans for the new high school were being
prepared. Since the intersection did not meet warrants for a 4-way stop at that time approximately 2
years ago) nor was it expected to meet warrants any time during construction of the high school, the
street improvements were installed without a 4-way stop at the subject intersection. Now that the high
school is nearly completed and classes will begin this fall, it is appropriate to evaluate the intersection
for a 4-way stop. The traffic study prepared for the high school project provides information regarding
peak hour'? traffic generated by the high school, which is the type of information typically used for
sizing streets, and intersections, and evaluating the need for signals. This type of information, however,
is not ideally suited for a 4-way stop warrant study. However, if reasonable care is used with other data
included in the study, some insight can be obtained as to whether a 4-way stop is needed. The most
useful piece of information found in the traffic study to assist in that regard, is the anticipated 3,324
vehicle trips to and from the school each day. If half of the anticipated traffic passes through the
Westward Ho/Dune Palms intersection, it is reasonable to assume that the intersection will easily meet
warrants for a 4-way stop. Staff therefore proposes to install a 4-way stop at the Westward Ho/Dune
Palm Road intersection.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
Westward Ho Drive at Roadrunner Lane This intersection does not meet warrants for a 3-way stop.
However, there are sight impediments in both directions from the Roadrunner intersection on Westward
Ho Drive. It is not mandatory, albeit desirable, that an intersection meet warrants before it is
designated as a 3-way stop. However, it is appropriate to require installation of safety measures,
including stop signs, if the Council believes such measures are necessary or advisable.
This intersection is shared with the City of Indio; the city boundary is the centerline of Westward Ho
Drive between Dune Palms Road and Jefferson Street. The Indio Public Services Department is
currently making this same recommendation regarding the 3-way stop to the Indio City Council.
Alternatives available:
1. Install a 3-way stop at the Westward Ho Drive/Roadrunner Lane intersection subject to
concurrence by the Indio City Council.
2. Reconstruct Westward Ho Drive west of Roadrunner to eliminate the low spot in the road and
eliminate sight obstructions east of the intersection. The estimated cost to implement this
alternative probably exceeds $100,000. As a result, this alternative is not recommended at
this time. Perhaps when the land on the north and south side of Westward Ho Drive
develops, the street can be reconstructed to eliminate the vertical alignment problem.
3. Direct staff to re-evaluate Westward Ho Drive for opportunities and ways to slow-down
traffic thereby creating a safer situation at the Roadrunner intersection.
Westward Ho Drive at Dune Palms Road Future traffic accessing the new high school will significantly
add to the traffic volume passing through this intersection. Although staff can not be certain this
intersection will meet warrants as soon as school opens, there is a high degree of certainty the
intersection will meet warrants in a few years when the high school obtains its full student body and
as other development occurs in that area of the City.

stop signs will be installed on street corners located within the La Quinta city limits, Indio's concurrence
is not needed. The Indio Public Services Department has been advised of the proposal to make the
subject intersection a 4-way stop and voiced no objection.
Alternatives available:
1. Install a 4-way stop at the Westward Ho Drive/Dune Palms Road intersection prior to the
commencement of classes at the new high school.
2. Defer installation of a 4-way stop at the Westward Ho Drive/Dune Palms Road intersection
until traffic counts at the intersection confirm the 4-way stop warrants have been met.
3. Direct staff to re-evaluate Dune Palms Road for opportunities and ways to slow-down traffic
thereby creating a safer situation at the Westward Ho Drive intersection.

Consideration of authorization to purchase furnishings PUBLIC HEARING:
for Senior Center Project No.92-06
RECOMMENDATION:
* Authorize staff to receive bids for furnishings at Senior Center.
* Authorize City Manager to award contract based on lowest responsible bidder.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
The original contract for the Senior Center did not include the purchase of furnishings.
Therefore, Public Works Staff have put together a bid specification in order to receive
competitive bids for said furnishings The estimated cost for said furnishings is approximately
$41,000. An abbreviated list of furnishings to be purchased is as follows;
Banquet Tables Card Table Truck
Banquet Table Trucks Utility Table Truck
Stacking Chairs with arms Window Coverings Vertical Blinds)
Stacking Chair Dolly Filing Cabinets
Card Tables Club Chairs on Casters
Utility Tables 42" Round Ta?es
Folding Chairs Lockers
Folding Chair Dolly Flat Files
Staff is requesting authorization to have the City Manager award the contract to the lowest
responsible bidder at this time because of the required time to manufacture and ship the
furnishings. Considering staff's conversations with various furnishing firms, delivery of the
furnishings will take forty-five 45) to sixty 60) days. Bids are scheduled to be opened
August 15,1994. Should the Council wish to act seperately on the award of the contract, the

meeting 36 days after the bid opening). If the award is made by the Council at their
September 20, 1994, meeting and an order placed immediately, the scheduled delivery date
would be sometime after November 15, 1994. This date is very close to the scheduled
completion date and does not provide any time for installation of the furnishings prior to
completion of the Senior Center. However, if the City Manager were authorized to award the
contract to the lowest responsible bidder, provided the amount is within the $41,185 budget)
an order could be placed as quickly as a responsible bidder is determined. Assuming an order
is placed seven 7) days after the bid opening date, the scheduled delivery date would be mid-
October. This schedule would provide adequate time to install all furnishings prior to the
completion of the Senior Center.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
During the Council Meeting of April 19, 1994, Council established and approved a budget of
$41,185 for furnishings at the Senior Center. In order for the furnishings to be installed by
the opening of the Senior Center, it becomes necessary to make an award before the next
regularly scheduled City Council Meeting September 20, 1994). If Council grants
authorization to receive bids and an award for the purchase of said furnishings, the schedule
would be as follows;
August 4,1994 First Public Advertising
August 10, 1994 Second Public Advertising
August 15, 1994 Receive Bids
August 22,1994 Execute Purchase Order
October 6, 1994 Early Receipt of Furnishings
October 21, 1994 Late Receipt of Furnishings
The alternatives for Council consideration are:
1. Approve staff's recommendation;
2. Receive bids on August 15, 1994 and award contract on September 20,1994;
3. Provide direction to staff.

ITEM TIThE: STUDY SESSION:
Consideration of Adoption of Fiscal PUBUC REARING:
Year 1994-95 Investment Policy for City
of La Quinta, La Quinta Redevelopment Agency
and La Quinta Financing Authority
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the proposed Investment Policy for all of the City, Redevelopment
Agency and Financing Authority restricted and unrestricted cash.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
No fiscal impact at this time. However, once investment strategy is
determined and implemented1 increased interest earnings are anticipated for
all funds maintaining cash balances.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
At their July 19th Regular meeting, Council reviewed the proposed Fiscal Year
1994-95 Investment Policy. Counci7l directed staff to return to the
Investment Advisory Board I.A.B.) and edit the investment policy to reflect
their concerns. The issues raised by Council included language clarity of
Section I.A., 100% of Portfolio Maximum Limit of Government Pools and
portfolio average maturity located in Section VII.
The I.A.B.'s revised policy, which was subsequently reviewed by the City
Manager and City Attorney, reflects Council's concerns. Section I.A. has
been restated to read that the City intends to have 100% of available City
funds invested. The maximum portfolio limit of 100% for Government Pools has
been reduced to 90%. The statement referring to average maturity has been
replaced by verbiage describing the maximum maturity allowed by State
Statutes.
The I.A.B. also recommended maximum investment limit per transaction for
certain investment types identified in Section VII as a result of Council's
concerns. Public input concerning the investment policy language was
received at the I.A.B.'s July 20th meeting and was considered in revising the
proposed Policy.

Presentation by Mr. Dale Bohnenberger of Coachella Valley Water PUBLIC HEARING:
District on the status of the Aquifer in the Valley and the related
overdrafting
RECOMMENDATION:
Council information.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
In June, the Director of Public Works and the Director of Planning and Development attended a meeting
conducted by the Coachella Valley Water District on current overdrafting problems in the Coachella Valley.
Overdrafting is a problem related to water stored in the ground water basin. As water is pumped out of
the ground water basin for domestic and agricultural uses, the water in the ground water basin is
replenished by water filtering from the surface back into the basin. However, if water is pumped out of
the groundwater basin quicker than it can be replenished, an overdrafting situation is created.
As a result of that meeting, Mr. Bohnenberger, Director of Engineers for the Coachella Valley Water
District, will provide an update to the Council as to the status of the problem caused by overdrafting.

ITEM TITLE: STUDY SESSION:
Continued Public Hearing on Plot Plan 93-495 Revised), a request
by Simon Plaza, Inc. to appeal the Planning Commission's PUBLIC HEARING:
approval of a one year extension of time for a previously approved
project on +5.6 acres on Highway 111, east of Washington Street.
RECOMMENDATION:
Continue the Public Hearing to September 20, 1994, as requested by the applicant.
flSCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
Case History
This plot plan request was originally approved by the Planning Commission on May 11, 1993, and accepted
by the City Council on May 18, 1993. The approved plans allow a three story medical office building,
additional retail/office buildings, and a multi-level parking structure.
Planning Commission Review
On May 24, 1994, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the request for a one year
extension of time. Staff recommended modifications to the Conditions of Approval regarding Washington
Street dedication and improvements. The applicant felt that nothing has changed at the project site to justify
the proposed new revisions. Staff explained that the changes were necessary because the Washington Street
dedication has not been made and the City needs to begin street widening to improve the Washington Street
and Highway 111 intersection. The Planning Commission felt the one year extension should be allowed
based on the State's current economic environment. The Planning Commission voted 3-1-0 Commissioner
Adolph voted no) to approve the applicant's one year extension pursuant to the attached amended Conditions
of Approval.
Api)eal Hearing
The case would have been reviewed by the City Council on June 7, 1994, as a report of action. However,
on May 31,1994, the applicant filed an appeal with the Planning Department requesting a public hearing
before the City Council. The initial City Council public hearing was held on June 21, 1994; however, at
the meeting, the applicant requested and received a continuance to August 2,1994.

ITEM TIThE: APublicHeariflgtoconsiderstreetVacafion94A)26; a STUDY SESSION:
request to vacate a 5, wide public utility easement along the north
side of Lots 15 & 16 of Santa Carmelita at Vale La Quinta Unit PUBLIC REARING:
17) at the northeast corner of Avenida Montezuma & Calle
Chihuahua. Applicants: Fred Wilson/Gerhard Heldmann
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution 94- concurring with Environmental Assessment 94-282 and approving Street
Vacation 94-026.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
Staff has received a request to vacate a five-foot wide public utility easement along the north side of Lots
15 and 16 of Santa Carmebta at Vale La Quinta Unit 17). The applicants have purchased three lots at the
northeast corner of Avenida Montezuma and Calle Chihuahua Attachment 1). The two owners would like
to merge the properties into one parcel and build a single family home on the merged site Attachment 2-
letter from Mr. Butler). An older existing single family residence on one parcel will be demolished. The
public utility easement would divide this site, if merged. If the easement is vacated, the future home could
be centered on the merged site without changing the design layout of the home Attachment 3-site plan).
A?ency Comments
On June 22, 1994, staff mailed a request to all local public agencies notifying them of the vacation request.
No responses were received opposing the application. Additionally, the applicants supplied letters they
obtained from various utility companies prior to their application submittal indicating concurrence with the
utility easement vacation. All responses are included in the Environmental Assessment Attachment 4).
Public Hean.n? Scheduled
On July 5,1994, the City Council voted unanimously to adopt Resolution 94-45 establishing August 2,
1994, as the date to hold the public hearing to consider vacating the utility easement. Public notices were
mailed to the effected property owners adjoining the subject site notifying them of this public hearing
meeting and the adopted Resolution was published in the Desert Sun Newspaper on July 15, 1994.

On July 12, 1994, the Planning Commission reviewed the request to vacate the five foot wide easements
Attachment 5). The Planning Commission voted 6-0 to approve the proposed General Plan Consistency
Finding as presented by staff. No one spoke in opposition to the request.
Analysis
Vacation of the easement will not impact any other adjacent property because the easement runs between
property controlled by the applicants. Additionally, it is staff's understanding that no actual public
improvements exist at this time in the easement. The easement was originally planned to provide utility
services to each lot which is the traditional method used for the single family lots in the Cove for both
electric and cable services, but with the merger this need becomes obsolete and unnecessary.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
The options aval1a?e to Council are as follows:
1. Approve the attached Resolution and Environmental Assessment;
2. Deny the request;
3. Continue the request to September 20, 1994, for further study.
