Mayor Pena

P. 3. b*OX 1504
La Quinta, California 92253
Dear Mayor,
In accordance with the contract that the Chamber has had with the City, we have spent our
money as shown in Exhibit A, for the period from August 13, 1985 to January 14, 1986.
Your original grant of $25,000 has allowed the Chamber to instigate a new program dedicated
to making the business interest of the community a viable force in shaping the future. This
has been accomplished through the Marketing Committee which represents the leading elements
of La Quinta's economic development. The goal of the Marketing Committee is to develop a
marketing plan to promote La Quinta in general and to attract new commercial developers,
II
residents, tourism, and consumers
Some early objectives of this committee are: to produce a video tape promoting La Quinta,
develop a slogan and image, prepare a letter to bankers and lenders to familiarize them
with La Quinta before they are approached by the developer, prepare a statistical fact sheet
for developers and prospective bisiness owners, prepare a map that locates local businesses
for new residents and tourists, organize a welcoming committee to visit new residents to
inform them of our local businesses, and produce our own La Quinta directory.
We are extremely pleased with the progress that we have made this year. To carry out the
Chamber's work, the Chamber directors have recently examined our 1985-86 budget and would
recommend to you very strongly that an increase of $9,400 is essential to maintain our
momentum and to assure that a conservative but sound program is continued through August
1986.
Concurrently the Chamber has been making every effort to start to support itself financially.
We have initiated and are considering further money making projects towards this goal. Member-
ship dues have increased and an extensive membership campaign is under way. The La Quinta
Hotel continues to lend its'support through a very successful golf tournament. Presently
we are negotiating with the El Dorado Polo Club to hold a fund raiser in connection with one
of their polo matches. The sale of I Love La Quinta" buttons continues to promote La Quinta
and provides a modest income, We are organizing to provide services to the business commun-
ity, such as a local directory, and advertising, that is becoming income producing. We are
making increasing efforts to provide for ourselves. Exhibit B revises the initial budget
to include an additional $9,400 which is necessary to continue our full program.
Sincere*y

CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From; Ann Jennings, Deputy City Manager
Date: February 26, 1986
Subject: Claim of Audrey E. Devite deceased)1 et al.
The subject claim is related to an accident which occurred at the
intersection of Miles Avenue and Jefferson Street on October 20,
1985. No facts are presented which indicate any negligence on the
part of the City of La Quinta.
Rather, according to our claims adjuster, the accident resulted
when the driver of the auto in which Ms. Devite was a passenger
failed to yield to oncoming cross-traffic on Jefferson Street.
Further, it appears that the driver of Ms. Devite's car had been
drinking, and the driver of the other car was traveling in excess
of the maximum speed limit and tested positive for THC marijuana)
in her blood tests. It is therefore the opinion of our claims
adjuster that this accident was caused by the negligence of one
or both parties involved.
RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that this claim be denied, and the
City Clerk be directed to send a standard rejection letter to
the claimant.

previously recommended for approval by the Planning Commission are as
follows:
* Increase in dwelling units from 118 units to 138 units.
* Reduction in acreage from 42.6 to 42.4 acres. Original

per acre.
* Extension of map boundaries approximately 600 feet north

The Applicant has made changes to the map in the midst of the
approval process of the tract map which have to be referred back to

frontage road as proposed, the provision of a second access at Singing
Palms Drive, the construction of a noise barrier, and the means the
City intends to use for funding of the improvements. One resident
of the Calle Tampico area, east; of Washington Street, expressed
concern about the effect on additional street dedication requirements
on his existing home. Mervin Johnson and George Marzicola discussed
the impacts of the plan with respect to their proposed projects.
At the February 25, 1986 hearing, two people spoke. Jerry Dupree, a
spokesman for the residents of the Singing Palms area stated his
agreement with the 32-foot-wide frontage road and the amendment to
the plan adding a right-turn ingress at Singing Palms Drive. He

Purpose of the Specific Plan. To improve public's understanding of
the purpose of this specific plan, a statement should be added in the
introduction emphasizing that this is a conceptual plan which
establishes the basic objectives and design parameters for the road-
way improvements, alignment and streetscape. After adoption of this
guide for future improvements, the next step is the preparation of
precise plans detailing specific design and engineering standards
necessary to begin the actual implementation of the specific plan.
At this next level detail, engineering plans will establish the
precise alignment of Washington Street, the specific improvement
designs for the roadway and the standards for parkway improvements.
At such time that the City Council reviews and approves these precise
plans", the exact locations and dimensions of the additional land
required for right-of-way dedication will be specified, and a program
will be instituted to acquire the needed property in an equitable and
timely manner.
Acquisition of Right-of-Way. The Planning Commission recommends
addition of a statement expressing the City's basic objectives
regarding the acquisition of additional right-of-way. These
objectives are as follows: to minimize to the extent reasonable the
acquisition of additional land for the right-of-way; to allow for
adjustments in the right-of-way width or design, when possible, in
order to minimize potential conflicts with existing development,
while still maintaining the integrity of the plan's objectives; and,
when possible, to obtain portions rather than entire parcels in order
to minimize costs.
Realignment and Frontage Road Singing Palms Area. The Commission
unanimously recommended approval of realignment and street cross
section, with the addition of a right-turn ingress at Singing Palms
Drive as shown on Attachment No. 2 of this report. In addition, the
Planning Commission recommends that the priority of this project be
raised.
The Planning Commission unanimously supported the increase in the
frontage road width from 28 to 32 feet, as recommended by the City
Engineer. This is consistent with current City policy for two-way
streets having parking on one side only and provides for the minimum
24-foot clear travelway for emergency vehicle access.
Street Lighting. The Commission unanimously recommended installa-
tion of street lighting along the center median as shown on Figure 7,
Alternative No. 1 of the text. The basis for this recommendation is
the reduced cost of installation and the minimizing of impact of the
lights on adjacent residences. The Commission also concurred with
the proposed light standard spacing.

Sidewalks/Bikeways. The Planning Commission unanimously agreed
that a pedestrian walkway be installed along one side and an off-
street bike path be installed on the opposite side of Washington
Street with the widths as similar to that shown on Figure 7,
Alternative No. 2 of the text. The basis of this recommendation
was that an off-street bike path is needed in light of the antici-
pated traffic levels and speeds, and to provide a safe way for
children bicyclin* to the schools on Avenue 50. The overall
recommendation was also based on the desire to minimize the amount
of paving or hard surfaces in the parkway areas.
Landscaping Plan. Although the Planning Commission unanimously
agreed in concept to the proposed planting recommendations, they
requested that a statement describing the overall design theme be
added to the plan. They recommend that this section be adopted as
a guideline, and that more specific standards be developed at a later
date.
The Planning Commission supported the establishment of a theme
emphasizing canopy-type trees rather than palm trees. This will
establish an appearance which will be different, yet compliment the
theme followed on Eisenhower Drive with a single row of palms in
each parkway. In addition, the consistent use of a limited number of
tree types along this four-mile-long street in the City will establish
a cohesive appearance while still providing enough of variety to pro-
vide visual interest. The use of canopy-type trees will also provide
shade for pedestrians and bicyclists along Washington Street.
Signage. The Commission recommended that a statement be added
regarding the establishment of general standards for City signage
along Washington which will compliment the overall appearance of the
corridor while also effectively directing traffic, including providing
direction to public facilities.
City Entry Sign. The Planning Commission recommends adoption of
Exhibit C" a copy of the aprpoved exhibit will be included in the
final text). The use of horizontal and vertical design elements, in
addition to the varying heights of the trees provides an interesting
and attractive appearance. The Commission recommends that the City
logo be prominently displayed as a part of this entry monument.
Cost Estimates. The Planning Commission recommends that an explana-
tion of the basis for the land and improvement costs be added to the
text.
Noise Barriers. There was unanimous agreement that a section be
added pertaining to the construction of noise barriers along the
length of Washington Street to minimize traffic noise impacts on
nearby residents. In addition, priority should be given to providing

avoided.

-pHZ MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Ann Jennings, Deputy City Manager
Date: February 26, 1986
Subject: Request for Additional Personnel Position in the
Finance Department
BACKGROUND
Since the City's incorporation, the Finance Department has operated
with one person. In November, 1983, a part-time Bookkeeper was
hired, and a full-time permanent position of Account Technician
was established in July, 1984. Since that time, activities in this
department have increased substantially, paced by the City's growth
and development.
During budget sessions relative to FY 85-86, an additional clerical
position within the Finance Department was discussed. However, it
was Staff's decision to omit the position and hold the line"
except for positions necessary to maintain essential services.
With the implementation of our computer system, it became
evident that an additional position would be necessary in Finance
for computer data input and personnel training of the financial
software programs. Subsequently, the Clerk-Receptionist was
transferred to Finance for a three-month trial period. The trans-
fer was made on a trial basis because Staff was uncertain if
additional personnel would be necessary following the initial
computer training and data input processes. Temporary clerical
help was then obtained from Southern Temporary Services to fill
the vacant Clerk-Receptionist position until a decision was made
regarding permanent staffing in the Finance Department.
Discussion
Based upon Staff's experience the last three months, it has become
evident that an additional clerical position is necessary in the
Finance Department. We are currently in the process of computeri-
zing the City's business license program, implementing a budgeting
assistance program for FY 1986-87, assisting other departments
with various software programs, such as Building Permits and Animal
Control, in addition to routine activities and daily duties.

February 26, 1986
Page 2.
Staff has prepared a job description for the Accout Clerk position
for Council consideration. The salary is recommended at Range 29,
following a survey of the cities of Palm Springs, Palm Desert and
Cathedral City, where similar positions are utilized. The median
salary range of these three cities for this position was $1224
$1489, slightly lower than our recommended range. Staff believes,
however, that due to the expanded duties and larger overall
responsibilities required in our City, the slightly higher range is
justified. A copy of our current salary resolution is enclosed
for your information and comparison.
Following the City1s mid-year budget review session held February 1,
1986, it is our opinion that appropriation of additional funds for
establishment of this position is well within the scope of the
City's financial abilities during FY 1985-86. Furthermore,
initial billing for 1986 business licenses indicates that revenues
in excess of $10,000 over our budgeted business license revenues
for FY 1985-86 are likely to occur. Staff therefore believes the
additional position to be financially feasible for the remainder
of 1986, and on into Fiscal Year 1986-87.
RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that the Council take the following
actions:
1. Approve the request for one Account Clerk position in the
Finance Department, effective March 10, 1986, and direct
Staff to prepare a proposed resolution amending Resolu-
tion No. 85-68 for adoption at your March 18th meeting; and
2. Adopt the proposed Resolution appropriating $5,820.00 from
the unallocated surplus, General Fund, for payment of
salaries through June 30, 1986.

CITV OF LA QUINTA
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of Council
From: Frank M. Usher, City Manager
Date: February 28, 1986
Subject; CVJPIA Liability Insurance Program
At your adjourned regular meeting of Monday, February 24, 1986,
the City Council selected to enter the Coachella Valley Joint
Powers Insurance Authority liability insurance program. This
program is designed to provide $1,000,000 per oc*urance coverage,
within which there will be a self-insured retention SIR)
recommended to be $25,000), a non-risk sharing pool between
the selected SIR and $125,000, which shall be repaid over a five
to ten year period with interest in the event of loss within this
layer, and a risk sharing pool between $125,000 and $1 million
for catastrophic claims. Losses in this level would be paid out
of earned premiums, interest on funds, and assessments in the
case of insufficiency of the first two sources.
It is respectfully recommended that the Council select the $25,000
SIR. The initial premium cost is higher, but this will minimize
longer term fluctuations as claims are paid.
The actions before you are those necessary to formally enter the
program. The resolution authorizes participation, effective
May 1, 1986. The motion selects the $25,000 SIR and authorizes
the City Manager to execute the notice of intent, committing to
three years of participation, payment of the $1,000 development
fee, and payment of $10,000 as damages in the event of rescission
of the notice and failure to enter the program on May 1, 1986.

To: City Manager Usher and the Honorable City Council
From: Roger Hirdler, Community Safety Coordinator
Date: March 4, 1986
Subject: FIRE ENGINE LEASE
The attached lease constitutes an agreement between the City of La Quinta and the
Riverside County Fire Department granting the County use of our fire engine to
provide fire protection to the City of La Quinta.
The term of the lease is for one year and renews automatically each year there-
after. The City may terminate this lease with a sixty 60) day written notice.
The County shall satisfy all liability claims up to $5,000,000.

the Riverside County Board of Supervisors prior to the dedication of the fire
station and engine on March 15, 1986.
Our City Attorney is in agreement with the terms of the lease.
It is staff's recommendation to adopt this lease for the fire engine.
