generated in the community and the support of the City
Council, the 1984 La Quinta Arts Festival has already been
labeled by many as the finest outdoor art festival in the
State. Without exception, every 1984 artist wishes to
return next year. Attendance was 2.5 times the 1983
festival and sales were four times as great $65,000). We
have heard many comments from patrons stating that they
will postpone major art pur*hases till next year's festival.
Patrons were happy to be in La Quinta, delighted with the
Desert Club grounds, and generous in their spending.
I might also add that a small grant from the National Endowment of the
Arts was received via California Arts Council and Riverside Foundation
for the Arts) to offer two five-week sessions of art classes for minority
children. The first session, which enrolled some fifteen students from
La Quinta, Thermal, Indio and Coachella, concluded with an art exhibition
on *ay 26. The second session begins in mid-June.
Despite successes which have surpassed our expectations, the Foundation
is now faced with several challenges:
1. The free office/gallery/classroom space in Plaza La Quinta
is becoming more doubtful every day. *r. Burnett is renting
additional units each week, and soon the LQAF will be left
to seek space in another location. Negotiations are under-
way to secure alternate facilities, possibly donated, but
probably for rent or for sale. With the high expectations
placed *upon the Foundation by the community at large,
there is no turning back: the exhibitions, classes, art
festival and adjunct activities must proceed, and suitable
facilities are essential. We do not have sufficient funds
to pay monthly rent, as may be necessary within this year.
2. The potential exists to attract artists and patrons from an
even greater area. This necessitates wider publicity and
important contacts. It also necessitates a qualified staff
to interact with potential donors of large sums, printing and
telephone costs to generate the publicity which will benefit
the community and the Foundation's goals, which continue to
be:
a. To establish the La Quinta Arts Festival as the finest
outdoor art festival in California.
b. To provide art classes for citizens of all ages.

of the appropriate meeting date.
Again, I wish to express my gratitude to the City Council and staff for
their support during the past year. Without your involvement, none of
the successes mentioned above would have come to fruition. The Found-
ation is grateful, and the community is grateful.

Sphere of Influence
Dear mr. Usher:
By letter dated I*ay 25, 1984 we advised you that a number of property
owners would like to have La q**n**ts Sphere of Influence extended east-
erly to Highway 86 and southerly to *venue 55 as shown by the map attached
to the aforementioned letter.
By that same letter we advised you that we were in the process of
determing property owner interest thru an informational mailing. *ile
requested those property owners in support of the proposed Sphere of
Influence to complete petitions we furnished them and filed them with
the City of La *uinta.
Based on the interest shown thus far, we hereby request the City of
La Uuinta to initiate proceedings for the proposed Sphere of Influence.
Although the proposed Sphere of Influence contains about 25,000 acres 39
sections), about 18,000 acres are in private ownership gross area includ-
ing streets). Assuming the street accupy about 10% of the private owner-
ship and recognizing that about 2,000 acres of private ownership are in
mountainous terrain, the net developable area of the proposed Sphere is
about 14,000 acres.
*ile believe the initial response to the petition drive, which began
about 3 weeks ago, is significant and warrants initiation of the Sphere
of Influence process. lile understand that about 100 petitions have been
filed with the City and that these petitions represent about 3,000 acres
of private ownership. In addition, we understand that these petitions
are continuing to be filed and based on the response during the past 3
weeks, we expect that adequate support for the proposed Sphere will be
demonstrated within the next 3 weeks.
If you have any questions about our request, I will respond to them
promptly.

Gentlemen:
The Coachella Valley Ecological Reserve Foundation agrees
that until such time as the County of Riverside and the above-
mentioned Cities have approved and submitted a habitat conservation
plan and that plan has been accepted and approved by the United
States Fish and Wildlife Service, we will accept any one of the
following alternatives as adequate interim mitigation measures for
nongovernmental developments of any size within the area set forth
on the attached map:
1. Cash in the amount of $750.00 per acre for each
acre proposed to be developed. The $750.00 fee shall be prorated
for fractions of acres. This amount shall be payable to either
The Nature Conservancy or the public agency involved.
2. A bond or letter of credit in favor of The Nature
Conservancy or the agency involved in the amount of $750.00 per
acre for each acre proposed to be developed. The $750.00 fee shall
be prorated for fractions of acres. The bond or letter of credit
shall guarantee the payment of a developer fee and shall be payable
at such time and in such amount as is set forth in a habitat con-
servation plan which has been approved and submitted by the County
and each of the Cities and approved and accepted by the United
States Fish and Wildlife Service.

The chosen mitigation measure must be deposited with
the Agency or The Nature Conservancy upon the earliest happening
of Final Tract Map approval, building permit or grading permit.
In any case where the arrangement is made with The
Nature Conservancy, a public agency may rely upon a letter from
The Nature Conservancy stating that it has received cash, bond
or letter of credit, that it will hold the form of mitigation
until a habitat conservation plan has been approved and submitted
by the County and each of the Cities and approved and accepted by
the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and that upon such
occurrence, it will:
1. In the case of cash, retain the appropriate amount
and rebate the excess, if any, to the developer; or
2. In the case of a letter of credit or bond, request
payment in the appropriate amount from the developer, or if neces-
sary, encash the letter of credit or make demand for payment from
the bonding company for the appropriate amount.
We agree that at the present time $750.00 per acre is
the appropriate number to implement the mitigation formula of one
acre of off-site habitat per four acres of on-site habitat.
Yours very truly,
COACHELLA VALLEY ECOLOGICAL

La Quinta, California 92253
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:
It is with deep regret that we announce the dissolution of the La Quinta
Garden Club. The Club membership has always prided itself on its participa-
tion in civic and beautification projects in La Quinta, such as the Memorial
Tree Planting in the La Quinta Community Park and the oleander seedlings
along Eisenhower Drive in conjunction with the Property Owners Association.
To this end, we wish to include a donation of $500.00 to the City of
La Quinta to be used towards the continued efforts to beautify our City,
possibly with regard to the boulevard planting on Calle Estado and Avenida
La Fonda.
We will miss the opportunity to continue to volunteer" under the
auspices of the La Quinta Garden Club. But I dare say the members will
remain active and loyal in their separate ways to our dream of La Quinta
I,
being the t1Gem of the Desert
Our sincere wishes for good luck and a prosperous future to all of
La Quinta.
sincerely,
Trish Klimkiewicz, President

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: Honorable Mayor and Member of the City Council
From: James Longtin, City Attorney
Date: June 14,1984
Subject: Funding Community Infrastructure Through Exactions on New Development
Enclosed herewith is a paper entitled Funding Community Infrastructure Through
Exactions on New Development'1 which I have recently prepared for potential
implementation in the City of La Quinta. The paper is self-explanatory. On
June 14, the City Manager, Planning Director and myself discussed the contents
thereof and we unanimously agree that we should proceed with its implementation
without further delay. Implementation involves a) several General Plan amend-
ments to be prepared by the planning consultants hired to prepare the City's
General Plan; b) a drainage plan, major thoroughfares, bridges and traffic
signalization facilities study and cost analysis to be prepared by the City
Engineer; and c) a financial study to properly apportion costs between existing
and new residents. This financial study may either be prepared by personnel
associated with the planning consultant, the City's present financial consultant,
or an outside financial consulting firm. At the present time, it does not
appear necessary to budget additional funds for any of the above purposes.
RECONMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council take action approving the concept of
funding community infrastructure through exactions on new development as set
forth in the attached paper and authorize the commencement of preparation of the
policy as set forth herein. Upon completion of the study, this matter will
be brought before the City Council for approval and implementation.

%Oa MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Frank M. Usher, City Manager
Date: June 18, 1984
Subject: Washington street/Highway 111 Intersection
Development approvals have been granted by Riverside County on the northeast,
southeast and southwest corners of the Washington Street/Highway 111 inter-
section. A synopsis of the approvals prepared by the Planning Director, is
attached. Because of non-development, and the expiration of development
approvals, it appears that improvement requirements can only be enforced
relative to the southwest corner Burnett) and the southeast corner
Simon/Marzicola), and there is some doubt regarding the latter, although
Mr. Simon apparently believes he is obligated. The record indicates a waiver
of intersection improvement requirements).
Copies of all conditions which we have are available for Council reading.
I have met several times with the owners of the properties, Cal Trans
representatives and County Road Department representatives. All owners are
unhappy about Cal Trans requirements relative to median island placement.
Copies of cost estimates prepared by John Sanborn, Mr. Simon's engineer, are
also attached. Simon and Burnett are apparently willing to pay their shares,
except regarding the median issue. Fletcher formerly Cregg-Gangi) may be
willing to participate although he is not required to under any development
approval. Dr. Tynberg has only recently expressed some willingness to
participate, after recently receiving a letter from me, a copy of which is
attached, although he would like to see some Cal Trans participation in the
cost of the improvements.
Basically, it seems that an assessment district will probably be needed to
complete the intersection, along with some decisions as to whether or not to
fully comply with Cal Trans design requirements.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: The Honorable Mayor and **rs of The City CounCil
From: Planning Director
Date: June 19, 1984
Subject: Status Report on Development Standards for Single-Family Residences
GENE**L B**KGROUND
At The June 4, 1984 study session, The City Council inquired about certain development
standards, particularly bond inq for curbs and gutters and location of mechanical equi*
ment, and reguested more information on The matter.
O*i August 3, 19u02, The City Council adopted Ordinance No.12 requiring all single-
family residences in The R-l zone to obtain a plot plan approval. Ordinance Nos. 18
and 37 were adopted extending this approval process requirement to August 3, 1984.
None of these ordinances have included any specific development standards.
Cn September 21, 1982, The City Council agreed to a list of requirements for residences
in The R-l zones. This list was amended by The adoption of Ordinance No.42 relative
to underground utilities in Nov*November, 1983. These reguir*nents are included in
Attachment #1.
Since The adoption of Ordinance No.12 and its successors), The Planning C*rnission
has reviewed 45 applications for single-family residences 26 in 1983, 19 in 1984) and
has developed a set of standardized conditions see Attachment #2) to facilitate pro-
cessing of These plot plans. It is evident That the Sept*rb*, 1982 listing and The
standardized conditions are not a precise match, but This should not be expected since,
in fact, The standardized conditions are typically varied slightly to fit a particular
project. For example, The ground-mounted mechanical equipment condition could be
revised to allow roof mounting on Pueblo-style houses with flat roofs provided That
The parapet was of sufficient height to acc*Tplish The desired screening effect.
As a result of a nu*er of Planning Ca*mi'ssion study sessions on residential standards
and The continuing review of individual plot plan applications, The standards have
evolved, particularly to include The screening of mechanical equipment similar to
refuse and bottled gas containers which were in The original listing), concrete drive-
ways, and street improvements curb and gutter and connecting pavement). These changes
have evolved due to both Staff and Planning C*ssicn input as each learned more about
problems with residential designs and worked towards better solutions.

Cn January 25, 1983, Plot Plan No. 83-003, the first plot plan for a single-family
house, was reviewed by The Planning Commission. Staff recommended requiring the
posting of a cash bond for street inprov*ents prior to issuance of a building permit.

The inprovements required include:
o Concrete Curb and Glitter
o **alt Connecting Paveeent
o No Sidewalk
Since Plot Plan No.83-003 was the first house considered by The Planning *OOOission,
and it involved The first conditions of approval ever placed on a house in The R-l
zone of The City, staff and The Planning Carinission discussed at length The require-
rrent for street improv*nents. Peasons given by staff and supported by The Cartni'ssion
on The need for curb and gutters within The R-l zone included:
o Curbs and gutters needed to handle drainage which currently is
causing damage: 1) to existing buildings and lot improvements;
2) to streets by eroding shoulders and undermining pavement; and,
3) by creating traffic hazards by carrying debris off of lots and
depositing it onto streets.
o Curb and gutters would prevent continuing damage to road edge,
particularly at intersections where vehicles cutting corners
break off paving.
o Curb and gutters at intersections stops vehicles fran cutting
over shoulders and kicking up gravel and dirt onto roadway
creating a safety hazard and added expense to The City for
recoval.
o Street improvements are already required for all developeent
in The R-2 and R-3 zones, so requiring improvements in The
R-l zone would be equitable.
o The requirement is not unreasonable; developers of single-
family houses in oTher incorporated areas in The Coachella
Valley are required to install or bond for street improvements.
o Eases future for'*tion of assesseent districts for street
improvements.
Following discussion of The need for curb and gutters, The Connission anended The
proposed condition of approval to allow, in addition to a cash bond, a perforaance
bond or other financial arrangement acceptable to The City Attorney and City Engineer".
Other forms of arrangements include a lien against property no u*f ront cash required)
and a certificate of deposit interest to go to City)
AlThough bond required prior to issuance of building peerit, The Building and Planning
De*teents have allowed, in several instances, additional time for The Applicant to
*lete financial arrangements after issuance of building peruit. You should be
aware That the Applicant has option to install improvements, but no one has chosen
This because costs exceed bond anount and because it would be difficult to set grades
for The improvements.

Street improvements and bonding costs are determined as follows based upon discussion
with the City Engineer):
o Concrete curb and gutter $10.00 per lineal foot
o Asphalt connecting pavement between existing street
pavement and gutter $1.00 per square foot, estimate
of 10-foot-wide connecting pavement
o Ibtal bond, $1000.00 per 50 feet of street frontage
o Engineering costs will be assumed by the City
Bond is attached to the property and frees property owner fran future assessments
for these improvements.
ME*HANICAL EQUIPMENT SCCEENING
This requirement is intended primarily to preclude unsightly roof*unted equi**nt
and to preclude fences on roofs) to screen" such equipment. The Planning Catinission
has included this screening condition on all plot plan approvals since that review
process was established, although this standardized condition is **dified when appropriate
to allow parapet-type screer*ing on flat roofs and to allow equipment within attic areas
on pitched roofs.
This roof equipment screening is also part of the architectural standards being
developed by the Cc*r!flission and is evidently intended to create a more pleasing
aesthetic effect in residential areas.
C(*ClUSION
It is ir* judgment that these represent both reasonable and typical development
standards for residential areas and should be continued in effect. The Planning
Department is trying to ccmplete studies on these standards in the near future so
that they can be inoo*porated into the City's ordinance requirements and eventually
move to a less time consuming approval process for residences.

* MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: City Manager Frank Usher and the Honorable City Council
From: Community Safety Coordinator Douglas Brown
Date: June 14, 1984
Subject: SPECIAL SUMMER YOUTH EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM
The Community Safety Department has been approached by Deputy Ken
Wilson of the Youth Services Team regarding a special work program that
would employ local youth at minimum wage.
With the end of the school year we lose our juvenile labor force
provided by the YST. These are the youth who have worked with Frank
Mazza and Steve Kochell in cleaning up city streets.
The YST, through Deputy Wilson, feel that there are several local
La Quinta) youth who would be willing to work for the City performing
essentially the same type of work as the YST kids during the school year.
By employing these kids, we would keep them busy whereas, without jobs,
they may be tempted to be out vandalizing or burglaring residents.
There are plans to budget several thousand dollars for 1Litter Control"
in next years budget. It would be my proposition that the City hire some
of these kids using some of those funds to provide this program for our
local youth.
NOTE. This program should not be confused with the Riverside County
funded Summer Youth Employment Program1' which we also plan on using. The
program funded entirely by Riverside County through the Federal Government)
may involve persons over 18 years old and from outside of the community.
Your consideration of this request is appreciated.
Respectfully submitted,

CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: City Manager Frank Usher and the Honorable City Council
From: Community Safety Coordinator Doug Brown
Date: June 8, 1984
Subject: UNDERSTANDING THE COMMUNITY SAFETY DEPARTMENT
Communication has often been discussed as an area needing some
improvement. In order to provide better communication between staff
in the Community Safety Department and the City Council we are going
to implement a two phase program.
Phase one will consist of a monthly report to the City Council.
These reports will provide a statistical breakdown of activity in the
city for the preceding month. Using a simplified format it will allow
City Council to know helpful information regarding crime, fire, animal
control, street maintenance, and code enforcement activity. How many
dogs were caught last month? How many potholes were tilled in? How
many fire calls did our city have? How many burglaries? These are the
type of questions you will have the answers to with this new report.
Phase two will consist of a program similar to the Ride Along pro-
gram we have with the Sheriff's Department. The difference is that our
program is designed to have City Council members accompany any staff
member of the Community Safety Department during their daily activities.
This will be on an appointment basis and, if successful, may also be
expanded to the public. This program will afford City Council members
the opportunity to experience, first hand, what is entailed in the
abatement of an abandoned vehicle, the capture of a stray dog, or the
filling of a pothole. Staff members will be able to show you various
aspects of their jobs. Demonstrations and a slide presentation of the
functions of the Community Safety Department are also planned to serve
as a compliment to this program.
It is the goal of these programs to increase the flow of information
between staff and City Council. Council members will benefit by being
more knowledgeable of community safety activities and can update their
constituents with the latest facts. It is hoped that feedback from the
Council members to staff will help us better define priorities and may
even result in suggestions on improving operations.
Respectfully submitted,
Douglas A. Brown
Community Safety Coordinator

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Frank M. Usher, City Manager
Date: June 18, 1984
Subject: Refuse Collection Rates and Method of Fee Collection
Palm Desert Disposal Service has submitted a request for an 8% increase in rates
in La Quinta for the Fiscal Year 1984-1985. As provided in the franchises with
Cathedral City and La Quinta, an independent auditor has examined the financial
records of the company, and has found that the rate change is justified.
Because customers are billed directly, and because the mandatory nature of the
service was new this past year, there is a very high percentage of delinquent
accounts. This has caused a financial loss to the company and has resulted in
a significant loss of staff time in explaining the reasons for the mandatory
nature of the service as bills are received.
The company is proposing no change in the residential rate, and a decrease in
1985, if the City converts to collection of fees through the tax bill, as has
been done in Cathedral City. If the conversion is made in Fiscal Year 1984-1985,
customers will continue to pay on a monthly basis in 1984, and would pay $70.20
on the 1984-85 tax bill, or $35.10 in December and $35.10 in April. The City
would than pay the company semi-annually, in advance, in January and July. This
method would significantly reduce delinquencies, and would enable the company to
pass on this savings described.
It is respectfully recommended that the Council approve the 8% rate increase
for non-residential accounts, and authorize the setting of a public hearing
relative to the placement of residential accounts on the tax roll.
