RE: PROPOSED DESERT RESERVE
Gentlemen/Ladies:
As I am sure you know, we residents of the Coachella Valley
share our Desert environment with the Coachella Valley Fringe-Toed
Lizard Lizard") Approximately four years ago the Lizard was
listed by the Federal Government as a threatened species and thus
became subject to the protections afforded such species under the
Federal Endangered Species Act Act") At that time local gov-
ernments, business interests and private citizens alike expressed
the concern that efforts to protect the Lizard would adversely
impact upon the development of the Valley resulting in an econo-
mic decline, fiscal difficulties for the governmental entities and
loss of employment opportunities for the residents of the Valley.
Most residents of the Valley have a vague recollection of the
Lizard problem" and assume, since they have heard so little about
the problem in recent times, that the problem was somehow solved.
The simple fact however is that the problem was never solved.
The Lizard remains on the threatened species list and the develop-
ment of the Desert continues to threaten the Lizard's environment.
The problem appeared to disappear" because under the former Act,
enforcement provisions appeared to apply only to activities which
directly harmed the Lizard. Recent amendments to the Act greatly
expanded the types of prohibited activities. Under the amended
Act, any activity which constitutes a disturbance of the Lizard
or its habitat is a violation of the Act. Furthermore, the pro-
scriptions against disturbing the Lizard apply not only within
its designated or critical habitat but wherever the Lizard may be
found i.e., within the city limits of La Quinta). The amended
Act provides for injunctions and civil penalties of up to $10,000
for each violation disturbance of the Lizard) and also provides
criminal penalties and fines up to $20,000. No disturbance of the
Lizard is permitted unless a permit is obtained from the Secretary

two years. Local governmental efforts to protect the Lizard
i.e., mandated mitigation measures) do not affect the enforcement
provisions of the Act. For example, if development planned within
the City's jurisdiction would result in disturbing the Lizard,
such disturbance would be subject to the enforcement penalties of
the Act even if such a development were approved by the City Coun-
cil. Enforcement of the Act threatens to bring development in the
Coachella Valley to a virtual stand-still.
We recently have been seeking approval of our Palm Valley
Country Club Project. The Lizard issue and its impact on our ef-
fort in obtaining approval of our Palm Valley Country Club Project
has led us to believe that a coordinated local, state and national
effort is necessary to avoid the negative consequences to the
Valley which would result from enforcement of the Act as it ap-
plies to the Lizard. In the course of processing the Project, we
have had occasion to communicate with conservation groups, local
government entities, state government entities, federal government
entities and concerned citizens. We have consulted thoroughly
concerning the issues presented herein with our legal counsel.
We are convinced that the only rational economic solution to this
problem is the creation of a reserve for the Lizard and other
native animals within the Coachella Valley. Various schemes have
been proposed by various entities and individuals for the creation
of the reserve. The California Fish & Game Commission is present-
ly taking the position that the reserve is to be created by the
acquisition of land within the Federal designated critical habitat
of the Lizard through a procedure requiring developers of the
Valley to purchase one 1) acre of critical habitat for every acre
developed. We estimate the cost of acquiring the habitat at
$30,000,000. We do not believe the California Fish & Game Commis-
sion plan to be economically viable.
We believe that the land necessary to create a reserve can
be acquired only by the appropriation of acquisition funds from
the Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund and through land
trades between the Bureau of Land Management and the owners of
land within the critical habitat. Our discussions of such a plan
with county, state and federal agencies leads us to believe that
such a plan is viable. We believe it in the best interests of the
City of La Quinta for the City Council to support such a plan and
we would welcome the opportunity to address the City Council to
discuss more specifically the effects of the amended Act on your
City and to present our proposal for a workable solution. We
propose the week of August 22, 1983 or the first meeting of the
Council in September as dates for our meeting. Please advise us

ADEQUATE AND EVEN REPRESENTS A PUBLIC SAFETY AND A HEALTH HAZZARD TO THIS
COMMUNITY, THEY SOUTHERN CALIF WATER CO) HAVE NO PLANS FOR SIGNIFICANT IMPROVE-
MENTS WHAT SO EVER! THEREFORE, AFTER OVER ONE YEAR AND A GREAT DEAL OF STUDY

SAME POOR QUALITY WATER, BASIC SYSTEM INADEQUACIES AND SUBSTANDARD COMPANY PER-
FORMANCE, PLUS EVER ESCALATING RATE REQUESTS EVERY THREE YEARS

Dear Mayor Wilson and Members of the City Council:
The Executive Committee of the Coachella Valley Association of Governments met
on July 26, 1983 and took a specific action directing that each of the CVAG member
agencies be asked the extent to which staff support could be available to CVAG
for the accomplishment of various projects in the CVAG Work Program for FY 1982-83.
For the last nine and a half years CVAG has operated with a staff of three
individuals: 1) an executive Director; 2) an Assistant; and 3) an Administrative
Secretary. In June of 1983, the incumbent assistant left CVAG in a career
advancement move and the position is presently vacant. On June 27, 1983, the
CVAG Executive Committee directed that the position not be refilled and that
during a five month period, through November 29, 1983, CVAG would operate with
a staff of two: 1) an Executive Director; and 2) an Administrative Secretary.
The CVAG Executive Committee was anxious to save financial resources and wanted
to test the premise that an adequate level of service could be provided with
less CVAG staff commitment.
At the July 26, 1983 meeting, the CVAG Executive Committee was confronted with
a recommendation from the Technical Advisory Committee and the Technical Planning
Subcommittee suggesting that the Assistant position be filled as soon as possible
in order that the CVAG Work Program goals and objectives might be more adequately
fulfilled. The CVAG Executive Committee discussed the concept of shared staff
and decided to study the feasibility of various member agency professional staff
being loaned to CVAG for the accomplishment of some of the planning and research
projects associated with the objectives of the Work Program. If a sufficient
commitment would be made by the CVAG member agencies, then the Executive Committee
may feel confident in not refilling the Assistant position.
The adopted CVAG Budget for FY 1983-84 provides sufficient financial resources
for the filling of the Assistant position. If the position is not filled, the
financial savings will be carried over into the next fiscal year and have a
beneficial impact on the requirement for dues assessment in FY 1984-85 The
CVAG Executive Committee would ask your specific response as to the extent of
professional staff commitment your agency can make by way of providing loaned
staff to CVAG on a project-by-project or as needed basis. We would appreciate
your response prior to the middle of September 1983 so that this matter can be
rescheduled for review by the CVAG Executive Committee at their next meeting
which is scheduled for Tuesday, September 27, 1983. Thank you for responding
to this inquiry of the CVAG Executive Committee.

CITY OF LA QUINTA
To The Honorable Mayor and nbers of the City Council
From: Sandra L. Bonner, Principal Planner
Date: Septebber 6, 1983
Subject: PROPOSED To SION 11.84.010 OF ThE MNICIPAL CODE CON:INC
FALSE AND MISADING sTATEMENTS
Although the current Minicipal Code prohibits the filing of false or misleading
information, it does not state what recourse the City has when it does receive
such information. The ordinance provides for the revocation of permits obtained
on the basis of false or misleading information, but it does not provide for the
denial of an application on these grounds. The intent of this amendment is to
stop the issuance of a permit or approval in those instances where an applicant
refuses to comply with the City's request for necessary additional or clarifying
information.
It has been my experience that when applicants are made aware of the fact that the
provision of false or misleading information is grounds for denial of their appli-
cation, they tend to provide imre complete and accurate information. In those
instances where staff questions an application and requests additional or different
information, the vast majority of the applicants will provide it. If upon receiving
this information, it becomes apparent to staff that the application will be denied
for example, the requested land use is not permitted by the zoning), then the
applicant is offered the option to withdraw the application and receive a partial
or full refund of the fees. If the applicant refuses to comply with the City1s
request for correct or clarifying information, and this information is necessary
to rnake a determination on the application, then the person or body with the
authority to rule on the application may deny it on the grounds of false and mis-
leading information.
There have been several instance where false or misleading information has been
submitted on Planning Department applications filed with the City.
Therefore, I respectfully recarmend that the attached ordinance be introduced and
adopted.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA QUINTA
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
To: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Redevelopment Agency
From: Frank N. Usher, City Manager/Executive Director
Date: September 1, 1983
Subject: Initial Redevelopment Authorization Agreement
At its meeting of Tuesday, August 30, 1983, the Riverside County
Board of Supervisors adopted an Ordinance authorizing the La Quinta
Redevelopment Agency to undertake redevelopment of a portion of the
unincorporated area contiguous to the City of La Quinta, pursuant
to Section 33213 of the California Health and Safety Code. The
related Agreement was approved by the City Council and Redevelopment
Agency at your meetings of August 4, 1983. Subsequent to that, and
prior to County action, changes were made to the Agreement removing
language which would tend to indicate an assumption of annexation.
Vqe have agreed that annexation is a separate issue which will be
addressed through normal procedures before the Local Agency Formation
Commission. Therefore, the revised Agreement must be re approved by
the City Council and the Redevelopment Agency
Approval of the accompanying Agreement is respectfully requested.

X>?tY MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA QUINTA
To The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Douglas Brown, Community Safety Coordinator
Date: September 6, 1983
Subject: MONTilLY UPDATE AUGUST 1983
The month of August was predicted to be unseasonably
wet, and so it was. The Community Safety Department was
thrust into action on a wide variety of matters when the
city received heavy rains. Aside from the rains, August
also was a month where we increased the staffing of the
Community Safety Department by 50% with the selection and
hiring of Kathy Aird as the city's Animal ControlOfficer/
Maintenance Worker.
CRIME: The criminal statistics from the Riverside
County Sheriff's Department revealed a 17% reduction in
the burglary rate this July over last July. Citations for
traffic violations are up 241% going from 17 for July 82
up to 58 for July 83. Felony crimes showed a 7% drop in
the same period while peace disturbances rose 39% and prowler
calls rose 50%. A brief tabulation of sheriff responses to
citizen requests for service indicated that the RCSO has
responded to over 2,000 calls in La Quinta during the first
eight months of this year. Two known families of burglars
are known to have moved out of La Quinta this past month.
Several informants are providing valuable information on
various types of criminal activity in La Quinta.
ANIMAL CONTROL: Two dog sweeps were conducted during
August which resulted in 12 citations being issued. The main
violations encountered are leash-law violations and no dog
license. Work has progressed on a revision in the fees for
dog licensing and that will be presented to the City Council
in the near future. Our new Animal Control Officer, Kathy
Aird, will begin handling animal complaint calls as soon as
she completes some specialized training and communications
equipment and other specialized animal handling equipment is
put into service.

X??MONTHLY UPDATE AUGUST 1983), cont. PAGE 2
ABATENT PROGRAMS: The vehicle abatement program is
going strong. Approximately 40 more vehicles were abated
in August and about 30 more vehicles are currently being
processed for abatement. Although a very time consuming
endeavor, the vehicle abatement program is removing many
eye-sores on the La Quinta landscape. Work is continuing
on the nuisance abatement programs. Rather than handling
this program on a complaint basis, we plan to systematically
work over the city a block at a time. Nuisance abatement
will be a very unpopular activity since it will probably
affect a majority of homeowners, renters, and landowners to
some degree.
LITTER CONROL: The month of August saw an increase in
illegal dumping and roadside littering ring in general. One citizen
arrest was made of an illegal dumper and two others were made
to pick up what they had littered. This is a very difficult
problem to control as it is hard to detect when it is occurring.
The contract with SCA for street sweeping has begun and the
upper cove area is the target for intensive sweeping to remove
the heavy gravel buildup at many of those intersections.
FIRE PROTECTION I PARAMEDICS.. Up to the end of August
this year the La Quinta Fire Station has handled 119 medical
aid type calls and 133 fire related calls. Work is continuing
on the 1982 Uniform Fire Code and preliminary work is being
done for the Fire Protection and Paramedic Master Plan.
DISASTER PREPAREDNESS: Flooding is a disaster and we
had a small scale disaster spread out over several days this
past month. Localized flooding of roadways, minor flooding
in several residences, sink-hole and pavement collapses were
problems encountered in La Quinta. City hall was manned after-
hours throughout the rain storms but things never reached a
point necessitating a disaster declaration. As a preventative
measure, a contract bulldozer was used to reinforce the dike
along the storm channel on the west side of the cove between
storms. This measure paid off as a flash-flood coursed down
the channel the following day eroding away at the dike. The
Oleander Storm Basin the La Quinta Hotel Go].f Course) did its
job perfectly in retaining the runoff water. Several hundred
sandbags were handed out at the fire station and numerous
residents used them to divert water away from their homes.
Overall, La Quinta was very lucky with total damages limited
to around $50,000.
Much time and effort has gone into the purchasing of
materials and equipment for the Community Safety Department
this past month.
