REGARDING AWARDS.
Mrs. Ward, member of the Tenth Anniversary Committee, advised
that the Council had previously asked that the Committee plan
for some kind of award to be given to the past Councils,
Planning Commissioners and Incorporation Task Force. It was
suggested that a framed poster with an engraved plate be
given. After investigation into costs, the Committee felt
that a ceramic tile in a walnut frame would be nicer and more
economical. She presented a sample of a walnut veneer frame
and a solid walnut frame and two samples of designs for the
tile, which she asked for Council?s input.
Mr. Bohien, Parks and Recreation Manager, advised that the
cost for 52 walnut veneer plaques are $1,208 and the cost
using solid walnut is $1,810.
Council briefly discussed the need for ordering 100 so that
there will be a sufficient amount to give to others throughout
the year.

3. APPROVAL OF MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH COACHELLA VALLEY
ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS REGARDING THE CITY?S AB2766 MOTOR
VEHICLE REGISTRATION FEES.
Mr. Cleveland, Executive Director of CVAG, reviewed the
background of this matter advising that AB 2766 allows for
local agencies to have $4.00 per car over the life of the
program for air quality purposes. A part of the money goes
back to local jurisdictions and a part to the South Coast Air
Quality Management District for their projects. The funds
must be used only for the purpose of mitigating air quality
problems caused by automobiles. Locally, we have a PMlO
program underway and they are asking that the cities put one-
third of those funds toward this program. They have just
received a $150,000 grant from SCAQMD using other AB 2567
monies and they do need to match that with $75,000 in order to
pursue their programs.
In response to Council Member Sniff, Mr. Cleveland advised
that all CVAG cities are being asked for these funds, but to
date, there has been no response, except for Cathedral City,
who decided not to allow any of these funds to be used outside
their City. He noted that these funds can only be used for
air quality programs.
In further response to Council Member Sniff, Ms. Honeywell
recalled that there's currently an approved document in place
relating to these funds, which she would like to have an
opportunity to review prior to taking action on this.
MOTION It was moved by Council Members Sniff/Franklin to
continue this matter to January 21, 1992 to allow the City
Attorney to further review the matter. Motion carried
unanimously. MINUTE ORDER NO. 92-3.
4. CONSIDERATION OF INSTALLATION OF SIDEWALKS ALONG AVENIDA
BERMUDAS BETWEEN CALLE COLIMA AND CALLE NOGALES.
Mr. Reynolds advised that a question has been raised about
continuation of the sidewalk along the east side of Bermudas,
north of Calle Colima. Installation of an 8' sidewalk was
constructed under Phases I and II of the Cove Improvement
Project, but was discontinued in Phases III and IV due to

right-of-way considerations and the requirements placed on the
private development adjacent to Bermudas. The estimated cost
for the project is $80,000 for an 8' wide sidewalk. He
believed that when the property is developed, some of the
sidewalk could be saved.
Council Member Bohnenberger stated that he was the one who
raised the question and advised that since the Heritage
Project is no longer viable, he felt that the sidewalk could
be constructed in conjunction with Phase IV, noting that this
is a very busy street.
MOTION It was moved by Council Members Bohnenberger/Sniff
that staff be authorized to obtain a quote for a sidewalk from
the contractor of Phase IV to do it under a change order and
report back to the Council.
Council Member Sniff questioned the ability to get
reimbursement from the developer, when the property is
developed. Ms. Honeywell stated that there could be some
difficulty in getting reimbursement at a later time from the
developer and suggested that a way in which to recoup costs
would be to form an assessment district.
Motion carried unanimously. MINUTE ORDER NO. 92-4.
5. CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION TO SPONSOR HIGHWAY 111
IMPROVEMENTS BETWEEN ADAMS AND DUNE PALMS.
Mr. Speer, Assistant City Engineer, advised that in order to
determine the level of improvements required or desired on
Highway 111 as a result of the proposed shopping center by The
Tucker Companies, Caltrans requires a preliminary study
report. This report takes about four to eight months to
complete and in order to begin that process, they need a
resolution from the Council resolving that the City wishes to
proceed with the improvements and that the City will see that
the improvements will be funded 100%. There are no costs by
Caltrans at this time. If the project does not move forward,
there will be no commitment to proceed with the improvements.
RESOLUTION NO. 92?1
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA QUINTA,
CALIFORNIA, DECLARING THE CITY TO BE THE SPONSOR OF, AND LEAD

the map as presented with 20,000 sq. ft. lots. for both
practical and economic reasons. They plan to have a quality
development and to fit into the intended theme of the area.

because a lot of people either don't want to or cannot,
economically, maintain larger lots or don't want equestrian
uses.

Council Member Sniff stated that since the 20,000 sq. ft. lots
conform to the General Plan, he would like to see the matter

3. REVIEW AND COMMENT ON CVAG'S DRAFT IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURES
FOR GROWTH MANAGEMENT.
Mr. Kiedrowski advised that this matter surfaced as a result
of the County's no growth" proposition. CVAG has been
working with the County and with the West COG in preparing
procedures. The Supervisors still believe that they have to
have a growth management implementation plan and this document
is what the County may use as being the over-riding general
guidance to a County growth management plan. The County has
indicated that they will adopt these procedures whether or not
the cities do. This document will ultimately be adopted by
the County as a part of the General Plan.
Discussion ensued regarding the fact that many of the elements
of the document are not workable partly because of the
differences in philosophies of the County and cities.
MOTION It was moved by Council Members Bohnenberger/Franklin
to reject the draft implementation procedures for growth
management as presented by CVAG. Motion carried unanimously.
MINUTE ORDER NO. 92-7.
