PUBLIC REARING:
Consideration of a Draft Economic Development Plan
RECOMMENDATION:
Review the plan and provide staff direction on the policies, recommended implementation activities,
and overall direction of the City's economic development planning effort.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
On June 6, 1995, the La Quinta City Council directed staff to initiate an economic development
strategic planning process. This effort included: commissioning a market study, which was
completed in October, 1995; holding a series of community meetings with property owners, business
owners, and members of various community organizations; conducting a City Council workshop on
March 6, 1996 to review the results of the efforts to date and the market study in particular; and a
comprehensive staff review of City/Agency real estate assets, development processes, infrastructure
needs, financial resources, and development and municipal impact fees.
Accompanying this report is a Draft Economic Development Plan that:
1. Identifies the rationale behind, and the need for, a proactive City/Agency economic development
effort.
2. Reviews the resources, opportunities, liabilities, and needs as they relate to projected market
demand, infrastructure, and financial resources that are important components of a proactive
economic development effort.
3. A business plan that presents an overall Mission Statement, implementation policies and
implementation activities that comprise the strategy that staff will pursue to promote economic
development opportunities in La Quinta.

d_43Plan Formulation and Approval Process. Over the past eight months, a comprehensive effort was
put forth that led to the compilation of necessary background data, and discussions with the various
communities that comprise La Quinta in order to formulate a vision of what La Quinta should be.
The data will provide the basis from which to make informed decisions about public/private
partnership investments that will generate the desired environmental, financial, and community
benefits for La Quinta. Input from the various community discussions was used to formulate a
vision of what the community desires to accomplish through an economic development effort.
Given the data, the accompanying Plan focuses primarily on activities that will occur during the next
five to ten years; however, economic development planning and implementation is a dynamic versus
a static process. This plan will need to be monitored and updated on a continuing basis to ensure
that the overall mission and policies it embodies that describe the vision of what La Quinta should
be) coincide with future perspectives and realities. Thus, proposals that are promising concepts
today locating additional education institutions in La Quinta, housing rail link and
telecommunication commuters to the Los Angeles basin, for example will not be discarded and,
instead, be incorporated in future plan updates as technological advancements and population growth
provide a firm foundation for their development. Thus, it is important to understand that the
adoption of this Economic Development Plan will not be the end of the process, but instead, the
beginning of an ongoing dynamic effort to translate the concepts to physical reality.
Requested Input
This drafi represents staffs effort to translate the input provided by the City Council, community,
staf and consultants into a strategic plan that embodies a Mission Statement, implementation
policies, and specific implementation actions. Building upon the community and Council input from
the March 9, 1996 workshop, staff has refined this Draft Plan and provides it to the Council for
review and further discussion. The purpose is to gain Council insight on the policies, direction, and
specific implementation actions so staff can then further refine this document into the Economic
Development Plan for La Quinta. Once finaled and adopted by the City Council, staffs mission will
then be to employ this Economic Development Plan, utilizing the implementation policies and
actions, as the overall strategy to follow when pursuing City-wide economic development activities.

ITEM TIThE: STUDY SESSION:
Discussion of Proposed Fiscal Year 1996/97 PUBLTC HEARING:
Capital Improvement Program
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Review and provide direction regarding preparation of the 1996/97 Capital
Improvement Program;
2. Direct staff to prepare the necessary resolution for the April 16, 1996 City
Council/Redevelopment Agency meeting approving the 1996/97 Capital
Improvement Program.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
Informational report only.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
A copy of the City's Capital Improvement Program and Five-Year Forecast was
provided to the City Council on April 2, 1996. The document is a statement of the
City's goals, objectives and priorities for a five 5) year Capital Improvement Program
and the financial commitments required to accomplish those objectives. The
preparation of this document has been a joint effort of the Public Works Department,
the Finance Department, and the City's Redevelopment/Financial Consultant.
The purpose of the Capital Improvement Program is to provide the City of La Quinta
with a long-range program for major municipal capital construction projects based on
the systematic development of an advanced financial plan. The Capital Improvement
Program CIP) is a five-year planning instrument used by the City to identify capital
improvement needs and to coordinate financing and timing of those needs in a
manner that maximizes the return to the public. As each annual budget is prepared,
additional projects and priority needs are developed and added to the program to
maintain a total five-year plan.

d_43The first year of the CIP is called the capital budget". The capital budget is
incorporated into the annual City operating" budget, which appropriates funds for
specific facilities, equipment and improvements. Projects slated for subsequent years
in the program are approved on a planning basis only and do not receive ultimate
expenditure authority until they are eventually incorporated into the capital budget.
The CIP will be updated annually and can be amended at any time based on revenue
availability and changes in project priorities. As such, tentative City Council
endorsement of the overall five-year program is desirable for the effective
implementation of overall City goals and objectives. Capital improvements are major
projects undertaken by the City that are generally not recurring on a long-term, annual
basis. In this sense they are differentiated from operating and maintenance O&M)
expenditures for normal City operation. They generally include: design, inspection,
testing, project administration, land and right-of-way acquisition, construction or
modification of buildings or facilities and public infrastructure construction or
modification.
The attached 1996/97 Fiscal Year CIP includes a listing of projects by fiscal year
priority and type of improvement project. Priorities as to which fiscal year a project
is scheduled depends on the availability of specific funding sources, operation and
program needs and prior City Council policy. Projects listed as Funded" indicate that
the City currently has the existing funds to allocate to these capital improvement
projects. These existing funds" represent unencumbered or unreserved fund
balances within each fund budget unit i.e. Infrastructure Fund, Quimby Fund", etc.)
projected as of July 1, 1996, and each fiscal year thereafter. Projects include street,
drainage, traffic signal, landscape and lighting, city facility, and park improvements.
Only those projects that have identified funding sources in the five year period are
listed within a fiscal year. Those projects that are designated as deferred do not have
an identified funding source through the term of the five year program. The
identification of additional and/or alternative funding sources will be addressed during
the annual review and approval of subsequent CIPs.
Each project is described in brief detail including a description of the project, the
location of the project, a breakdown of the project cost, the revenue sources
proposed to be used to fund the project and an estimate of the annual operation and
maintenance costs associated with the capital improvement. The completion of any
specific capital improvement project may have a direct impact on the operational and
maintenance budgets of the General Fund, Lighting and Landscaping Fund and other
funds. An estimate of these future costs is necessary to assess that there is financial
capacity of the operating budget to cover these ongoing costs. All project costs
included in the CIP are at current year project estimates. No inflation factors have
been utilized in determining costs for projects in Fiscal Year 1997/98 through 2000-
01.

d_43The 1995-96 CIP funded $6,968,981 in capital improvement projects. The status of
these projects anticipated by July, 1996 is as follows:
Projects Completed or in Prn?ress Design/Construction)

The 1996/97 Fiscal Year CIP identifies $4,595,930 in improvements. Overall, the
City is proposing approximately $13,677,550 in projects over the next five 5) years.
The remaining projects represent deferred projects having a total cost of
$16,100,312. The total funding of deferred projects listed will require future City
Council action to ensure revenue availability. The following assumptions should be
taken into account when reviewing the CIP.
* The City Council has reaffirmed prior policy to maintain sufficient
General Fund emergency reserves, a General Fund reserve for cash flow
purposes, and allocation of sufficient funds to cover current contracted
and authorized capital improvement projects.

d_43 Currently, David M. Griffith DMG) is finalizing a Development Impact
Fee Study that addresses impact fees for community facilities required
to serve future development in the City. The Study has identified
additional community infrastructure required to support growth and the
estimated cost, and the level of fees required to fund the completion of
those projects.
The DMG Study is scheduled to be presented to the City Council prior
to the end of the fiscal year. The recommendations from this Study,
subject to City Council approval, may impact the level of the
Infrastructure Fund available for future capital improvement projects.
Recommendations may also restrict the type of capital improvement
projects that could be funded by the Infrastructure Fund.
Specific projects have been identified to be funded by the
Redevelopment Agency's Low/Moderate Income Housing Fund. Staff
has made preliminary findings that these capital improvements may
support the development of low/moderate income housing projects.
Further staff analysis will be required to ensure that adequate
evaluations are made as to the appropriate use of low/moderate income
housing funds for these projects.
* Certain future projects will require the creation of Assessment districts
to provide funding resources. The lack of assessment district
authorization could further defer these projects unless alternative
sources of revenue can be secured, or unless project priorities are
changed to defer other improvements.
* Because of increases in ongoing maintenance costs and the addition of
completed improvements, the Lighting and Landscape District may need
to increase assessments in the future. The current fund balance and
annual assessment revenues are inadequate to cover all future capital
and operational cost increases. The alternative would be to continue to
defer specific lighting and landscape improvements and/or reduce
existing landscape maintenance activities until such time that other
revenue sources are available.
It is the intent of the City staff to conduct a short presentation regarding the
components and implications of the plan and be available for questions of the City
Council as discussion occurs.
