FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: A savings in staff time, support services and commissioner expense may be realized by consolidating commission duties. BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW: This item was considered by the City Council at the February 1 7, 1 998 City Council meeting at which time the Council directed that it be continued until March 1 7th to allow the Council time to meet with various City commissions. A copy of the February 1 7th Council minutes is attached and the background from that staff report is listed below. A special joint meeting with the following commissions was held on March 10, 1 998: Cultural Commission, Human Services Commission, Parks & Recreation Commission, Art in Public Places Commission, Investment Advisory Board, and the Planning Commission. At that meeting, discussions included consolidation of various commissions including but not limited to: Art in Public Places and Cultural Commission Human Services and Parks & Recreation Human Services, Parks & Recreation, and Cultural Commission O()OO1i BIB] 01-11-2000-U01 08:46:50AM-U01 ADMIN-U01 CC-U02 MAR-U02 17-U02 1998-U02 ing -> 12yAdditionally, the Council discussed with the various commissions other concepts such as five 5) or seven 7) members, Work Plans, Commission responsibilities and definitions, etc. These discussions may have provided the Council with additional input or ideas regarding the consolidation, size or operations of the commissions. It is in the purview of the Council to consider the attached amendments to the Code and provide changes or direction to modify or consolidate the commissions. If direction is given to modify or consolidate the commissions under a different format than indicated in the attached ordinance, that action would require drafting a new ordinance for consideration by the Council. It is anticipated that a new ordinance could be brought back for Council consideration at the April 21, 1998 Council meeting. Based on Council input from the February 1 7th Council meeting, staff changed the effective date of the Ordinance to July 1, 1 998. Normally, an ordinance takes effect thirty 30) days after adoption.) Background from February 17. 1998 Staff Report At the January 20, 1 998 City Council meeting, the Council conducted a Study Session regarding boards and commissions. At that meeting, the Council directed staffto develop an ordinance for the Council's consideration to combine the Parks & Recreation, Cultural, and Human Services Commissions into one commission. A copy of the minutes from the January 20th meeting are attached Attachment No.1). Staff drafted the attached Ordinance combining Purpose and Objectives" and Powers and Duties" of the existing three commissions into a new Community Services Commission. As drafted, the ordinance revokes the three aforementioned commissions and creates a Community Services Commission comprised of nine 9) members. At the January 20, 1 998 Council meeting, the possibility of creating three distinct subcommittees of three members each was discussed. Previously, the City had a Community Services Commission with the three subcommittees; however, with changes in the Brown Act, standing subcommittees would need to have posted agendas with meetings open to the public. The City may choose to provide staff support and take minutes of these meetings which would, in effect, partially negate the savings associated with creating one commission. Given the above, the attached draft Ordinance does not mandate the formation of three subcommittees. The draft Ordinance does, however, establish three categories of membership in the new Community Services Commission: Parks & Recreation, Cultural, and Human Services. Members applying for appointment under each membership category must exhibit knowledge, experience, or interest within those respective fields to be considered for appointment. In addition, Section 2.75.050 would grant the Commission authority 2 000012 002 BIB] 01-11-2000-U01 08:46:50AM-U01 ADMIN-U01 CC-U02 MAR-U02 17-U02 1998-U02 ing -> 12y to establish committees i.e. consistent with similar authority granted existing commissions). In accordance with Council direction, staff informed all commissions of the proposal to replace the three commissions with a new one. Responses to date include: Members of the Art in Public Places indicated to staff that individual Commission members would contact the Council directly regarding the matter; the Cultural Commission made a formal recommendation that the Commission remain intact as a separate, seven member commission Attachment No.2); and the Human Services Commission submitted a letter recommending keeping the three commissions separate Attachmept No.3). FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES: Options available to the City Council include: 1. Approve the Ordinance revoking the Parks & Recreation, Cultural, and Human Services Commission, and creating a Community Services Commission, and direct the City Clerk to advertise for members to serve on the Community Services Commission; or 2. Do not approve the Ordinance; or 3. Provide direction to consolidate commissions under a different format than noted above; or 4. Provide alternative direction to staff.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: This grant requires a 10% local match of the total cost of the project. The California Department of Transportation Caltrans) informed staff that the 10% match should be for hard costs-i.e. construction costs. They do not want the City to charge in-kind matches of staff time other than engineering) for administration. The total estimated cost of the project is $67,000 which means the City's 10% cash match would be approximately $6,700. If the City is successful in this application, the matching funds will have to be identified in the Fiscal Year 1 998-99 budget. BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW: The City received notification from the State Department of Transportation Caltrans) that grant funds are available under the 1 997 Bicycle Lane Account Grant Program. Staff prepared the attached grant application for submittal under this program. The proposed project is the placement of ten 10) bicycle racks at nine 9) locations in the City: four 4) on Bear Creek Channel Bike Path, one 1) at Eisenhower Park, two 2) at Fritz B. Burns Park, one 1) each at City Hall and the Senior Center, and one 1) at Adams Park. The proposed project includes four rest stops" to be provided along the Bear Creek Channel Bikepath consisting of fabric shade structures, drinking fountains, benches, and bicycle racks. The attached application provides further details including maps and product flyers. At this writing, the application is still under development and may not be in its final form. However, the deadline is April 1, 1 998 therefore allowing additional time for completion of the application packet. 000075 BIB] 01-11-2000-U01 08:46:50AM-U01 ADMIN-U01 CC-U02 MAR-U02 17-U02 1998-U02 ing -> 12yLThis project is categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act CEQA) pursuant to Section 1 5301 c), CEQA Guidelines.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no foreseen fiscal implications in denying this claim at this time. If CVWD were to pursue this item in the courts, the fiscal implications are unknown. BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW: On May 15, 1997, CVWD submitted plans and an application for the CVWD Mid- Valley Water Reclamation Plant #4, Influent Force Main #2, Segment 2 project Avenue 50 Sewer Force Main). This project consisted of the installation of a 18" sewer force main which begins approximately 1,500 feet east of Washington Street and extends approximately 2.18 miles east to Madison Street. On June 2, 1997, City staff notified representatives of CVWD that a draft permit and draft conditions were available to include in CVWD's bid package On August 1, 1997, CVWD's representatives sent a letter to the City protesting the conditions established under the permit. On August 12, 1997, the City received a letter from CVWD appealing the conditions of the permit. 0QQ097 BIB] 01-11-2000-U01 08:46:50AM-U01 ADMIN-U01 CC-U02 MAR-U02 17-U02 1998-U02 ing -> 12yb On September24, 1997, the City received a letter from CVWD outlining the points of their appeal. On September 30, 1997, the City Council conducted a Special Meeting to hear the appeal of CVWD in regard to the Mid-Valley Water Reclamation Plant #4, Influent Force Main #2, Segment 2 and draft permit #2637 with conditions. The City Council continued the Hearing until October 14, 1997. At the City Council Meeting of October 7, 1997, the continued Hearing date was changed by the Council to the next regularly scheduled Council Meeting of October 21, 1997. At the conclusion of the October 2.1, 1997 hearing continuation, the Council moved to deny the appeal of CVWD on all of the items except for the school hours and the $23,000 which CVWD felt is owed them due to work out of sequence on Avenue 50 and Jefferson Street Minute Order #97?1 68). It was further approved by the Council Members that the school hours be amended as requested by CVWD providing the District can provide sufficient protection to the school children in the immediate vicinity to the satisfaction of the CitV Engineer and that the matter of the $23,000 be given to the City Manager to negotiate, if possible, with CVWD and to bring back whatever negotiations obtained to the City Council Minute Order #97-170). Per the City Council's direction, the work hours fronting the school were successfully negotiated between representatives of CVWD, the Middle School and Elementary School, and City staff. This work was completed on December 23, 1997 and December 24, 1997, at which time school was not in session. In a further effort of cooperation, the City agreed to accept the grindings from the work on Avenue 50, thus providing CVWD with an additional cost savings as opposed to hauling off and disposing the material. The matter of the $23,000 claim is a little more complicated. The statements in the October 21, 1997 staff report indicated that CVWD requested City reimbursement for an additional $23,000 for the advanced work CVWD claims to have completed out of sequence in placing the diagonal trench and pipe across Jefferson Street and Avenue 50 intersection. The actual claim was for $18,561. This discrepancy was corrected in a letter from Tom Levy to the City Manager dated November 12, 1997 a copy is included as Attachment 1). On page 2, paragraph 3, Mr. Levy requests negotiations with City staff in order to discuss reimbursement of $18,561 in additional costs incurred by the District at Jefferson Street and Avenue 50 prior to the November 18, 1997 City Council Meeting. Mr. Levy states in his letter, Please note this dollar amount was misquoted as $23,000 in the City's staff report dated October21, 1997." oo'.,) 000098 BIB] 01-11-2000-U01 08:46:50AM-U01 ADMIN-U01 CC-U02 MAR-U02 17-U02 1998-U02 ing -> 12yc On July 21, 1997, CVWD illegally encroached on the City street without a permit to complete the 18" pipe installation at the intersection of Avenue 50 and Jefferson Street. Realizing the need for the work to be completed in a timely fashion, City staff completed an emergency permit for CVWD Permit #2634). A condition of the permit was to complete the trench restoration utilizing the City Standard T-section" and completing a butt-joint" finish by grinding one inch of pavement 3 feet either side of the trench. CVWD further violated the permit by ignoring the City Standard T- section" replacement, and repaired the trench with a substandard section. On November 24, 1997, the City informed CyWD that the substandard trench section was not done per City standard and was failing. Reflective cracks were present on either side of the trench and the trench was low, causing a dip section" over Jefferson Street and Avenue 50. On December 5, 1997, City staff met with representatives of CVWD to discuss CVWD's claim for $18,561 per the City Council's direction. CVWD placed the work out of sequence which CVWD claims cost an additional amount of $18,561 in order to realize an approximate $5,000 savings for the final overlay, had the work been completed in normal sequence. CVWD representatives did not discuss this change order with City staff, did not obtain the permit, and completed a substandard section on the road which furthered their cost savings. In order to attempt to resolve this situation, the City recommended a settlement offer in which the City will share the cost of CVWD's claim in the amount of $18,561. The cost share would be at 50%, which would make the City's share $9,280.50. A letter was forwarded to CVWD recommending this settlement, and as a result of this settlement CVWD was to waive all further claims for this project. Copy of that letter is included as Attachment 2. CVWD's response was to accept the 50%-cost share, but they refused to waive any other outstanding claim against the City for the project. Included with this report as Attachment 3 is CVWD's response letter. Sometime in January 1998, CVWD completed the trench patching of Jefferson Street and Avenue 50. This was done without notifying the City. Therefore, inspection of materials and workmanship was not provided by the City. Further, CVWD did not utilize the City Standard as specified in Emergency Permit #2634 when completing trench restoration. CVWD provided an overlay with feather to match creating a speed bump" condition on the substandard trench. 000099 F?\PW?)EP?\COUNCIL\1 9B\?8O317e BIB] 01-11-2000-U01 08:46:50AM-U01 ADMIN-U01 CC-U02 MAR-U02 17-U02 1998-U02 ing -> 12yd The City staff has successfully negotiated work hours with CVWD and the work was completed while providing full protection of the students of the Truman Elementary School and La Quinta Middle School. City staff attempted negotiations with representatives of CVWD regarding the $18,561 claim; however, the negotiations were unsuccessful. Although CVWD stated agreement with splitting the $18,561 cost on a 50/50 ratio with the City, CVWD did not waive all rights to further claims on the other issues CVWD also completed the work in the substandard condition without inspection and completed an overlay of the substandard trench causing a speed bump type of finish. The alternatives for the City Council to consider are as follows: 1.

Staff has coordinated with the developer, fast-tracking the review and processing of each of these maps, the associated improvement plans, construction estimates, and subdivision agreements and bonds. As of March 12, 1998, City staff has not received final approval from the City's Acting Surveyor on each of these maps. Subdivision improvement agreements have been prepared and delivered to the developer, but these agreements and their associated securities have also not been received. As a result, staff has prepared the attached resolution which provides for conditional approval of the final maps and subdivision improvement agreements. This approval is contingent upon receipt within 30 days, April 17, 1998), of technically correct final maps suitable for recording by the County Recorder with all required signatures except for the City Clerk, and executed subdivision improvement agreements with their associated securities. Once these items are received, the City Clerk will affix the City Seal to the final maps, provide the subdivision improvement agreements for execution by the City Manager, and offer the final maps for recording by the County Recorder. However, should all the required items not be received by City staff within the specified time frame, the final maps will be considered as disapproved. In this event, the final map approval will be rescheduled to an appropriate City Council meeting. FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES: The developer has demonstrated to City staff and the City Council that it has made sufficient progress with the required documents necessary for final map approval. City staff expects the developer to meet the requirements for obtaining final map approval by April 17, 1998. City Council alternatives are: 1. Adopt a resolution granting conditional approval of a Final Map and Subdivision Improvement Agreements for Tracts 28545-1, 28545-2, and 28545-3, KSL Desert Resorts, Inc. 2.
