This regards the setting up of a fund to pay the assessments for qualified low income people. MOTION It was moved by Council Member Bohnenberger, seconded by Council Member Sniff that Discussion of Assessment District Subsidy and Deferral Program" be added to the agenda, as part of Item No. 2, noting that the need to take action arose after publication of the agenda. Motion carried unanimously. MINUTE ORDER NO. 89-5. Mr. Kiedrowski asked that Item No. 5 on the Consent Calendar be moved to Business Item No. 3 in order to present additional information.

Box 786, La Quinta, addressed the Council advising that with regard to the proposed Assessment District, he had no problem with the sewer assessment, people need to be reminded that if they connect to a gas line, they will have to incur the expense of changing out electric appliances to gas. PUBLIC HEARINGS 1. PUBLIC HEARING ON TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 23935 APPLICATION BY TOM NOBLE FOR SUBDIVISION OF 50+ ACRES LOCATED ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF MILES AVENUE AND DUNE?PALMS ROAD INTO 196 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS AND CONCURRENCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT. Mr. Crump, Planning Director, advised that the proposed subdivision has a net density of 4.16 units per acre with an average lot size of 7,200 sq. ft.

There was discussion as to the percentage of two-story dwelling units to be constructed along Miles Avenue. It was their recommendation that 75% of the units within 150 feet of the Miles Avenue right of way shall be limited to one story. The Commission recommended approval of the map subject to the conditions as outlined in the staff's report. Mr. Crump advised that there has been some discussion relative to Condition 14, which the Public Works Director will address. Mr. Reynolds, Public Works Director, recommended that Condition 14 be amended to read The Applicant shall submit a grading plan that is prepared by a registered civil engineer. A registered civil engineer shall be required to supervise the grading and drainage improvement construction and to certify that the constructed conditions at the rough grade stage are as per the approved plans and grading permit. Certification at the final grade stage and verification of pad elevations is required prior to final approval of grading construction". TOM NOBLE, 74-075 El Paseo, Palm Desert, Applicant, stated that the requirement of a registered civil engineer supervising construction is something he's never been confronted with. It's virtually impossible with the registered civil engineers in this valley, to have one actually supervise the construction. He suggested that the requirement be deleted. Regarding Condition 6B, Mr. Noble felt that it's only sensible for them to design Dune Palms Road to the centerline. Regarding No. 9, he didn't understand why the parkland dedication should go back to the Planning Commission he felt that the Code specifically spells it out. He requested that the fees be paid on a phase" basis. Regarding No. 32, he felt that it needs to be clarified as to the amount and when it will be due and payable. Mr. Crump referred to Item No. 9 and advised that the process is set forth in the subdivision ordinance which cites that the recommendation for the parkland dedication be based on a recommendation from the Planning Commission. That processing should not delay the project. Having the fees paid on a phase basis is not unusual, as the fees are generally paid upon filing of a map and they are filed in phases, if it is a phased project. Mr. Reynolds addressed No. 6A advising that the intent is to have the developer put in the improvements with the City entering into a reimbursement agreement so he can be reimbursed when development transpires on the other side of the street. Regarding EB, in previous developments along Dune Palms and other roads, we have required two usable lanes plus a parking lane. There is a depression in Dune Palms Road which they don't wish to fill in; however, traveling south on Dune Palms from Miles, this depression creates a site distance problem, which he would like to see removed to whatever extent is possible, considering the water line which runs along that road. He said that he would work on a modification to the language.

He did not feel that this is the City's responsibility. We do not have the staff to perform this function. Council Member Bohnenberger asked if we are talking about actual supervision or inspection and Mr. Reynolds said all he is looking for is a registered engineer to certify the improvements. LARRY JOHNSON, with Engineering Services, advised that the California Council of Civil Engineers and Land Surveyors has prepared a letter stating their objections to this requirement. The carrier of their Error and Omissions Insurance Policy told him that if they undertake supervision of construction, their E & o Policy would be canceled. He then reviewed the usual procedure used in this valley. In response to Mayor Pena, Mr. Johnson stated that if the City requires private inspection, the developer could probably work that out, but then he might want to talk about why he's paying the City inspection fees. Regarding Condition No. 32, Mr. Reynolds advised that the developer will be required to pay 25% of the cost, which is estimated at $100,000. Council concurred on changing the wording to read that the applicant shall pay 25% of the cost of signalization. The Mayor declared the public hearing OPEN. There being no one wishing to speak, the hearing was CLOSED. Council concurred, upon applicants request, to carry this matter over. MOTION It was moved by Council Member Sniff, seconded by Council Member Rushworth that public hearing on Tentative Tract 23935 be carried over to February 7, 1989. Motion carried unanimously. MINUTE ORDER NO. 89-6. 2. PUBLIC HEARING ON TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 2402E APPLICATION BY LA QUINTA PARTNERS FOR SUBDIVISION OF 32 + ACRES ON THE SOUTHWEST OF THE INTERSECTION OF DUNE PALMS ROAD AND?WESTWARD HO DRIVE INTO 117 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS AND CONCURRENCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT. Mr. Kiedrowski, City Manager suggested that this hearing be continued without opening it, noting that the applicant and staff have been negotiating and that this is an area that is subject to litigation. Mr. Brandt, City Attorney noted that no fees have been paid on this tract to date. MOTION It was moved by Council Member Rushworth, seconded by Council Member Sniff that public hearing on Tentative Tract 24026 be continued to February 7, 1989. Motion carried unanimously.

CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO INITIATE PROCEEDINGS FOR A CITY-WIDE LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT. Mr. Kiedrowski advised that at its meeting of December 20th, the City Council authorized him to enter into an agreement for engineering services in connection with a proposed City-wide Landscaping and Lighting District with BSI Consultants. Adoption of the resolution presented, will initiate the proceedings. This District will allow for the installation of Street lights where there is a need shown it will also allow for consolidation of several maintenance districts. The Engineer will define those areas that have a City-wide benefit and those areas that may have a benefit over and above a City-wide benefit and they will pay some kind of surcharge. Council Member Sniff asked if there is a reasonable alternative and Mr. Kiedrowski advised that the alternatives are 1) to do it with City funds; or 2) to have a small district for almost every tract built in the future, which is not logical. In answer to further questions, Mr. Kiedrowski advised that all parcels would be assessed based on their relationship between the amount of assessment and the benefit received. The assessment will be paid through the tax rolls. RESOLUTION NO. 89-9 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA QUINTA INITIATING PROCEEDINGS ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 89-1 PURSUANT TO THE LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING ACT OF 1972). It was moved by Council Member Bohnenberger, seconded by Council Member Rushworth that Resolution No. 89-9 be adopted. Motion carried unanimously. 2.

ADOPTION aF RESOLUTION APPROVING THE OFFICIAL STATEMENT FOR ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 88-1, IMPROVEMENT BONDS, SERIES B. 3. DISCUSSION OF ASSESSMENT DISTRICT SUBSIDY AND DEFERRAL PROGRAM. Mr. Kiedrowski, City Manager, advised that these items relate to the proposed assessment district in the upper part of the cove and relate to the preliminary offering Statements.

The reason they are separated is because the law states that any improvements for the benefit of a taxing corporation are taxable; therefore, the sanitary sewer improvements had to be separated from the natural gas improvements which are taxable. The public improvements sewer) will be sold at competitive sale; whereas the second issue will be sold by negotiation. RESOLUTION NO. 89-10 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA QUINTA, APPROVING THE OFFICIAL STATEMENT FOR ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 88-1, IMPROVEMENT BONDS, SERIES A. It was moved by Council Member Bohnenberger, seconded by Council Member Rushworth that Resolution No. 89-10 be adopted. Motion carried unanimously. RESOLUTION NO. 89-11 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA QUINTA, APPROVING THE OFFICIAL STATEMENT FOR ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 88-1, IMPROVEMENT BONDS, SERIES B. In response to Council Member Sniff, Mr. Fieldman advised that the action being taken is to send out an offering statement on these two separate issues so that we can receive financing bids and construction bids both of which will be the subject of a public hearing on February 14, 1989. At that time, the Council can modify the scope of proceedings. This action merely follows the disclosure rules in accordance with the rules of the SCC. It was moved by Council Member Bohnenberger, seconded by Council Member Rushworth that Resolution No. 89-11 be adopted. Motion carried unanimously. DISCUSSION REGARDING SUBSIDY PROGRAM. Mr. Kiedrowski advised that there is a concern of some of the residents in the cove that this project would pose a burden for low to moderate income residents. After much discussion, we have a recommendation from the consu?tants that we create a fund using money from the Redevelopment Agency that will actually pay the assessment for sanitary sewer and gas for qualified low income people. Those income ranges and guidelines have yet to be determined. He suggested a special meeting on January 31st in order to establish the guidelines. We would require that the people who receive these funds allow a covenant to be placed on their property. If they remain on that property for the length of the bonds, then they would not end up paying anything; but if they sold the property then either all or part of it would be repaid to the Redevelopment Agency from the proceeds of that sale. He recommended that he be directed to move forward with the formulation of an assessment district subsidy payment program.

He added that there is currently $220,000 available in our 20% set-aside funds. In answer to Council Member Sniff, Mr. Kiedrowski advised that the Council can make the determination to whether or not to go all the way to the moderate income level. The normal process to determine income level is to use federal income tax forms and certified employment data based on last years income. Regarding the privacy element it will be a recorded covenant on the deed; therefore, it will become a public document. ANN YOUNG, representing La Quinta Cove Association, P.O. Box 1384, La Quinta, asked if a form letter is being sent to all property owners which can be returned to the City with their vote or are property owners being required to do this on their own? Also, will property owners have the option of choosing sewer only and not gas or vice versa? Mr. Kiedrowski advised that it is the intent of the assessment engineer to tabulate the sanitary sewer separate from the gas and to present that information before the protest hearing. Property owners can begin sending in their letters of protests. The City is not planning to send out a ballot. AUDREY OSTROWSKI, P.O. Box 519, La Quinta, felt that there is a need to consider what is low income. Young people are frightened to death. Should look into financing these assessment. CHRIS DE SALVA, expressed concern that the ancillary costs have not been accurately represented such as the cost to run the lines to the home and connect in addition to the costs to abandon an existing septic tank. He also expressed concern about people on a fixed income being able to pay the proposed assessment. DENISE JACKSON, 52-805 Navarro, stated that the costs of collapsing a septic tank has not been brought up enough and the costs to hook up has not been represented. Council Member Sniff expressed concern over the cost of the gas that cost has jumped enormously from original discussions. He felt that we re subsidizing the gas company which is a profit-making company since it isn't going to benefit any of the existing homes. He also asked if the property owners were told in what form a negative response should take. Was there a form provided in which they could respond in a negative fashion? Mr. Fieldman stated that an advisory vote" could be done. Mayor Pena felt that such a form should be either mailed or be available to be picked-up.

He added that the law states that the costs shall be apportioned according to the manner in which benefit is received it is not a popular vote. Mr. Kiedrowski advised that these advisory vote" forms can be made available at the informational meetings and at the protest hearing. Regarding dissemination of information, he advised that there was a special edition of the City's newsletter in June that detailed all of the costs involved in hooking up including the cost of abandoning existing septic tanks. Council Member Sniff stated that he would like to see the form in which they can respond mailed to each property owner. MOTION It was moved by Council Member Bohnenberger, seconded by Council Member Sniff to instruct the City Manager to move forward with the formulation of an assessment district subsidy payment program utilizing the 20% set-aside funds in the Redevelopment Agency. Motion carried unanimously. MINUTE ORDER NO. 89-8. 4. AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER INTO LEASE/PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH XEROX CORPORATION FOR COPY MACHINE. Mr. Kiedrowski advised that the original intent was to lease/purchase one copy machine at $740 per month for 36 months. However, the Planning Department is also in need of a new copy machine. It has been determined that if we buy two machines outright without a lease, we can get a better price. We have the funds in the contingency account, plus we have received substantially more revenue this year because of building activity than we had anticipated. He asked that the Council authorize staff to purchase two machines from the Contingency Account. The old machines would be used as a trade-in. MOTION It was moved by Council Member Sniff, seconded by Council Member Bohnenberger that staff be authorized to purchase two copy machines to be funded from the Contingency Account. Motion carried unanimously. MINUTE ORDER NO. 89-9. CONSENT CALENDAR 1. APPROVAL OF DEMAND REGISTER. 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF JANUARY 3, 1989. 3. APPROVAL OF RECLASSIFICATION OF ACCOUNTING/PERSONNEL ASSISTANT TO ACCOUNT TECHNICIAN.

COUNCIL COMMENT COUNCIL MEMBER SNIFF urged that the City send out a ballot to all property owners in the proposed Assessment District. Mayor Pena concurred. PUBLIC COMMENT SUZETTE BLACKMAN, P.O. Box 287, La Quinta, concurred with Council Member Sniff. She stated that she and her neighbors were under the impression that they were going to receive a ballot. She urged that such a ballot be sent out. CHRIS DE SALVA, concurred with a ballot being sent out. He also questioned the authority wherein a non-vote is deemed as an affirmative vote. Mr. Brandt deferred to the Assessment District Counsel, but did note that there are situations, such as annexations, where the absence of a negative vote is in fact counted as an affirmative vote. ANN YOUNG P.O. Box, commented that many of the property owners do not live in La Quinta and are not familiar with what is transpiring, making it more necessary to send out a ballot.

DISCUSSION OF PROCEDURE FOR EVALUATION OF DESERT CLUB PROPERTY. Mr. Kiedrowski advised that the City Attorney has drafted a letter to the owner of the furniture, fixtures and equipment asking them to remove it. He suggested hiring professional people, like a structural engineer to review the condition of the building to determine if it's worth saving and do the same with the pool and the tennis courts. Another issue is what to do with the property after we get this information. Does the Council wish to handle all these discussions or to form a committee to help sort out some of the issues or ask the Community Services Commission to look into some of the issues? Council ember Sniff believed that the public is expecting the City to move rapidly on this project and proceed to MOVE as follows: 1. That the property be surveyed to determine exact dimensions and configuration. 2. That City Manager be authorized to obtain two independent qualified reports on structural condition of the buildings, pool and approximate costs of bringing them up to code and usable condition. 3. Have City staff make a similar inspection and evaluation. 4. All reports and requested information to be obtained within 30 days. 5. That a Fritz Burns Park Advisory Committee" be formed promptly that shall report to the City Council, membership determined as follows: a. Each Council ember shall select 2 representatives. b. Planning Commission shall select 1 representative. c. Community Services Commission shall select 1 representative. d. The City Council shall select 2 representatives. e. The Committee shall select a Chair Person and a Vice-Chair Person and shall operate under Roberts Rules of Order. f. The City shall provide clerical support and meetings shall be noticed and minutes kept. g. The Committee shall function for a period not to exceed 1 year unless further authorized by the La Quinta City Council. First meeting to be held within 45 days and subsequent meetings shall be on at least a monthly basis. h. The duties of the Fritz Burns Park Advisory Committee" are to be advisory only and site specific they are to provide recommendations as to the development and best use of this property for the greatest recreational benefit to the people of La Quinta. Motion was seconded by Council Member Bosworth.

The City has a Community Services Commission, of which a Parks and Recreation" committee is a part of and felt that anything that is done, should be coordinated through them. He had no problem with supplementing them with an advisory task force, but they would be charged with the responsibility of performing this function. Mr. Kiedrowski stated that staff will try to have the reports back within 30 days, but he has contacted a structural engineer who could not get to it before March, this is a very busy time of year for engineers, however, other contractors will be contacted. Council Member Rushworth felt that the motion is too specific without having had time to study the issue. Mayor Pena stated that he would like see some kind of advisory committee, but wasn't sure if this format is the right one he felt that it might be too large. He suggested a public meeting at the site to let people know what kind of condition it's in. Council Member Rushworth suggested going ahead with the first four points to get started. Council Member Bohnenberger felt that the Community Services Commission should coordinate this project, but would also like to see a report from the City Manager as to the impact this project will have on City Staff do we need to bring in outside assistance? Council Member Sniff felt that the motion is workable and didn't believe that Community Services Commission is left out, they can appoint their two Parks and Recreation Committee members to this committee he was concerned that the public isn't left out. Council Member Bohnenberger stated that he wasn't opposed to getting the public involved, but was opposed to taking away what is rightfully within the duties of the Community Services Commission to chair this and coordinate it. There are seven people on that Commission who give freely of their time every month and this is what we've empowered them to do. MOTION FAILED TO CARRY with Council Members Bohnenberger, Rushworth and Mayor Pena voting NO. MOTION It was moved by Council Member Bohnenberger, seconded by Council Member Rushworth that we proceed with Items 1 through 4 with the information to be submitted to the Council as soon as reasonably possible given staff's and consultant's schedules. Council Member suggested that the formation and makeup of the committee be returned to the January 31st Council Agenda for consideration. MOTION CARRIED with Council Member Sniff voting NO.

He felt that the proposed makeup was too large. He also expressed concern that Council Members serving on that committee, may unduly influence the others. He suggested two additional public members in their place. Council Member Sniff stated that he was concerned about getting the broadest possible representation. He felt that having Council Members on the committee would provide a liaison. MOTION It was moved by Mayor Pena, seconded by Council Member Bosworth that the motion be reconsidered. Council Member Bohnenberger stated that Council Member Sniff's proposal goes counter to the charter of the Community Services Commission as to what they should do. He wished to have time to review their charter. Mayor Pena suggested that this committee report to both the Commission and Council. Council Member Bohnenberger believed that they should report to the Community Services Commission. He continued that this is a major decision and should not be made without due consideration. Mr. Kiedrowski stated that at the present time, there is neither staff, nor ideas to present to this committee and if they want things investigated by staff, then a decision needs to be made as to who on staff to assign this to and whether or not to hire outside people. He felt that perhaps this should be continued to the next meeting. Mayor Pena withdrew his motion. Council concurred on concluding the discussion and continuing it at the meeting of January 31, 1989. 2. DISCUSSION OF REVIEW OF INFRASTRUCTURE FEE. Mr. Kiedrowski stated that when infrastructure fees were increased a year and a half ago, it was decided to review them again in January 1989.
