RE: MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE TRANSFER STATION/MATERIAL
RECOVERY FACILITY
Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers:
I would like to take this opportunity to call to your
attention the steps that are being taken by BLT Enterprises, Inc.
to provide the referenced facilities to the Coachella valley.
We feel that we will be able to provide transfer/MRF services
to east valley jurisdictions prior to the closing of the Coachella
Landfill and at rates substantially lower than those being proposed
by the vendors who are negotiating with CVAG. This anticipated
facility will be further advantageous in that East valley trash
collectors and self haulers will have shorter hauls than to either
the Coachella or Edom Hill landfills.
We would appreciate the opportunity to present our proposal to
the council at you earliest convenience and will contact you in the
near future to discuss this matter further and, hopefully, to set
a meeting date.
Thank you very much for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
BLT ENTERPRISES, INC.

RE: REQUEST FOR PRESENT?ON
SOLil) WASTE TRANSFER ST?ON
Honorable Mayor and Council:
As you are aware, the Otto/Sexton, Joint Venture has been actively involved in the process
to form the proposed Coachella Valley Solid Waste Joint Powers Authority which, in turn,
was to select a qualified vendor to design, construct and operate a Transfer Station with
m??materials recovery capability for the cities of the Coachella Valley. We have participated in
the CVAG!IPA proposal review process and were one of two short listed firms selected for
further consideration, if the JPA was formed. Having attended City Council meetings
throughout the Valley r?regarding the formation of the JpA, we realize::e that many concerns still
remain regarding the formation of a new level of government and the potential political and
financial impacts of a publicly owned Transfer Station.
Having fully evaluated the current situation?iation and the impending solid waste crisis facing the
Coachella Valley, the Otto/Sexton, Joint Venture has decided to move forward with the
development of a privately owned, operated, and financed transfer station/MRF to be located
at our proposed Central Valley site in Thousand Palms. Land use applications are in
preparation and we anticipate their submittal to the County within the next few weeks.
We will be seeking your City's participation in this project as a contracted customer. Your
staff will soon receive a proposal which outlines the major components of the service
agreement. As part of your proposal evaluation, we will be happy to make a formal
presentation before your Council or a subcommittee, which will further address the benefits
of our privately owned and financed project to your City.

Request for Resolution in Opposition to the
Stacked Deck" Initiative
A disastrous initiative has qualified for the next statewide ballot which would stack the deck"
against local governments and private firms. I am writing to ask your Council to take a position
in opposition to the so-called Government Cost Savings and Taxpayers Protection
Amendment."
As you know, state, regional and local governments currently are allowed to contract with
private firms, on a competitive basis, to design local projects such as roads, hospitals and
schools. The Stacked Deck" initiative would change the status quo and-if it passes-cities,
counties, schools, special districts, regional governments and even many private businesses
would have no choice but to use state public engineers to design these projects.
What kinds of projects are affected? The initiative would apply to all projects state, local,
private) that involve state facilities i.e. connection to state highway), expenditure of state funds
state funding or even state personnel performing permit reviews), or state liability
environmental reviews, etc.). The broad definition could apply to nearly every project in
California; at first it certainly would apply immediately to all projects touching Caltrans facilities;
all school, hospital and prison projects; and many water/drainage projects.
What is the Stacked Deck" initiative? Every project over $50,000 would be subject to a
cost review for consultant cost versus state employee costs. Consultant cost includes labor
cost plus full markup to cover the typical costs of doing business i.e. fringe benefits, office and
equipment leases, computers, etc.). The state costs included only the additional direct cost of
doing the work labor only, no overhead involved).
Local governments would not be able to hold the state bureaucracy accountable. There
is nothing in the initiative requiring projects to be delivered on schedule, within budget or giving
local government any say in the project.
Taxpayers would pick up the tab in project costs and for hiring more state employees. To
meet potential workloads, state government engineers would have to be employed and paid

indefinitely. State employment would mean permanent job security for added staff, even if
future workloads are less and fewer employees are needed.
This explains why the union representing California state transportation employees spent more
than one million dollars to qualify for the ballot.
Those already in opposition to this initiative include: California Chamber of Commerce,
Coalition for Adequate School Housing CASH), Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors,
California Healthcare Association and the San Jose City Council.
Why act now? This initiative is currently scheduled to appear on the June, 1998 ballot.
However, there is increasing talk in the State Capitol of a special election in November, 1997.
The Governor could call a special election to address the school bonds issue or welfare reform
or both. If he does, Stacked Deck" will be on the ballot this year. So we need to build our
coalition now. Most importantly, your opposition now will help demonstrate the broad and
diverse opposition to this terrible proposition.
Thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions, please call me at 714) 933-5225

A dis?trous initiative on the next statewide ballot in California, which if
passed, would stack the deck against private firms and local governments.
F' Get involved and help us stop this initiative from becoming l?W?
Background:
Every day billion5 o(dollars worth of building projects are under way in California.
F' State, regional and local governments?ts current?ly re allowed o contract with private
firms, on a competitive basis, to design local proJ.ect& such as r?ads, h?pital? and
schools. To get peoject5 built at the highest appropriate level of quality, best price
and on time, governments are afforded the? flexibilIty of being able to contract with
efficient private firms.
The so-called MGovernment Cost $Savings and Taxpayers Protection Amendment'
initiative would completely change this process1 stacking the deck a?against private
firms and local govQmm?nts by giving state bureaucrat5 first crack at desi?gning nearly
every project in California.
Impact of the proposed initiative:
WOUlD EUMINftYE LOO? CONTROL PUT i?it UDDEAUCRACY IN CHARGE:
0 Cities, counties, schools, special districts, regional governments and even many
private bu5irlC55es would have no choice but to use the state bureaucracy to design
roads, parks, hospitals, health clinics, schools, water treatment facilities, flood con-
trol walls and other critical? structures including all engineering, design, geological
and environmental work.
0 Virtually every California school and hospital has been designed by pr:vate
firms, not by state government. But under this initiative schools, hospitals, jails,
prisons and even golf courses would be designed by state bureaucrats who might
know nothing about the? community where the project is located.
0 No accountability. Local governments?ts would not be able to hold the state
bureaucracy accountable. For example, there is nothing in the initiative about deliv-
ering a project on schedule, within the budget or giving local governments any say
in the project?
0 it would create the largest engineering. surveying nd architectural design firm??
in the world.
WOUW COST TAXP??S 5IWONS.?
0 Taxpayers would pick up the tab for billions in project costs, lost jobs and more
state employees To meet potQntial workloads, hundred?, if not thousands, of state
employees would have to be employed and paid indefinitely. State employment would
mean permanent job security for added staff, even if future workloads are less and
fewer employees are needed. 000013

WIUID JEOPABIW WITY:
o y eliminating he use of independent experts and specialists on important projects like seismic
retrofitting, proven experience would be ignored and safety could be threatened?
Q The initiative nearly guarantee? that future seismic retrofit pr?ms would 80 to the same state bureau-
who brought us the Cypress r?Freeway 5tructure that collapsed in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.
WOUW MW STITE COITROLUfi A BUUINU UZIR:
o Ci?Gives one 5tate politician? normous power to decide who gets tens of thousands of design and building
projects worth billions of dollars.
o IBecause of the expected boUleneck in the controller's office, vital projects throughout the state like
the ay rldge retrofit and th? Alameda Rail Corridor in Los Angel? County could be locked up for
years while the state controlleras office figures out how to evaluate design work before it is done.
Q But even without such a slowdown private firms out-perform state governmenL For example,
Santa Clara County Traffic Authority used private firms to build its entire transportation corridor in record
time and within ud?et? Privat? firms completed the jo? QvCfl years f??ter th?n the time predicted for the
state to complete the very same job.
O What'5 more, if this initiative were in effect today, the state controller would have to analyz? ters of
thousands of proposed contracts per year? That's a new burden on the controller's office costing hundreds
of thousands, if not millions, of dollars in additional costs to you and me
AIiYWIYYOU LOOKAT ItUXPIYW LOSE:
Sy using a 19,000 person bureaucracy6 California Transportation Department cQsts f?r projects are
already more than twice as much as the natio?al average.
0 Minority and women owned businesses, already dramatically mpacted by Caltrans cu?backs, would
be disproportionately hurt agatn.
0 Private irms would be r?uired to in5ure the work of the st?te bureaucracy for the 5tate's own negli
gence. While a pr?vate fir? might be responsible for a small portion of a project, it would be required to
insure ill the work of the state bureaucracy.
O The State Transportation Improvement Pi???rarn STIP) lre?dy is ehind schedule. Thi prop??l
could stow down the process even more and threaten vital projects due to be completed by 2003.

Questions And Answers About The
F' STACKED DECK" INITIATIVE
What l's the ustacked deck" initi'ative?
A. It's a proposed constitutional amendment hat will ap
pear on the next statewide ballot. If passed1 I? would completely
change the way state and local governments contract r engi-
neering and design work by giving the state bureaucracy first
crack at nearly every building project in California.
With more than 1,000 school districts, 500 cities, 53 counties
and hundreds of special districts forced to submit to this
process, it would be a bureaucratic nightmare.
How does th:?s ini?tiative TMstack the deck"?
A. Local governments and private firms would virtually
be locked out of the process because of an unbalanced corn-
parison which would determine who gets contracts, The r'or-
mula excludes major costs the state must pay such as labor)1
but ignores those costs when comparing the price of state work
to that of local governments or private firms. Hence, the deck
is stacked from the outset against anyone who tries to corn-
pete with the state bureaucracy.
In addition, the cost analysis itself could only be done by the
statc bureaucr?cy.
Would the ormuIa be used in every case?
A. It would be imposed whenever state funds are involved,
which means virtually every project ima8inable chools,
hospitals, clinics, homes, roads and even sidewalks. The for-
mula would also kick in anytime the state takes on any liabI-
ty, ownership, or responsibility for operation, maintenance,
or cons?ruction which again, is nearly eve? project im?g-
inable.

ing -> 12[ What's wrorig with g:?ving the state bureaucracy first crack
every project in California?
A. Plenty! With the state bureaucracy in charge, local control would be lo?t,
projects could be deiayed, taxpayers would pay billions, safety wouJd be jeopar?
diz?d and the state controller would become a building czar.
What do you mean by loss of local control?
A. y giving the state bureaucracy a virtual monopoly on engineering and de-
5ign work, local gov?rnmeflts would have litt?e voice on projects such as roads?
parks, hospitals, health clinics, schools, water treatment facilities, flood control wa115
and other crlt?cai structu?e?. Proiect5 would be designed by state bureaucrats who
might know little about the community, where the project is located.
Q I-low would taxpayers face increased costs?
A. Taxpayers not only would pick up &? t?b for billion5 in project they
would f?c? incrQased xpenses from project delays and for unemployment the
layoff of privat? sector employees and increa5ed expenses for a large number of
state employees. n fact, the state payroll could swell as hundreds, if not thousands,
of state employees would be hired and paid indefinitely to meet potenf?al workloads
Yet, wouldn't taxpayers actually save money by u5ing state
employee??
A. There's no gu?ranteB thQre would be a savings and there's plenty of examples
to believe state employees would cost more. Let's look at one project: the Santa
Clara County Traffic Authority used priv?te firms to design and build its entire trans
portaton corridor in record time and within the budget. Private firms completed
t?e job than the time predicted for the state to complete the ry
same job.
Why could work done by state bureaucrats threaten safety?
A. ily e?iminating the use of private sector exper? on important1 and pecial
i?ed, projects like seismic retrofitting, proven experience would be ignored and
af?ty could be threatened

ing -> 12[What would be the role of the state controller?
A. The initiative would make the state controller a desi?n czar by givin? this
one state politician enormous power to decide who gets tens of thousands of design
and building prnjects worth billions of dol jars. That's a new burden on the controller's
office, costing hundreds of thousands if not millions of additional dollars of
cost to you and me
Is there experience in the controller's office to handle this new
assignment?
A. Nol And because of that inexperience and the time needed to manage the
process, it is expected that the controller's office would slow down the flow of work
for needed schools and hou?ing, and also vital transportation projects throughout
the tate &uch as the Bay Rridge retrofit and the Alameda Rail Corridor in Los Ange-
les County.
What impact, if any, would this initiative have on the
construction and maintenance of school sites?
A. It would be a disa?ter. Any project which involves state funds or liability
would be subject to the control ler?s office review. That bottleneck could cause long
delays and increased costs.
Who is behind this initiative, anyway?
A. Professional Engineers in California Government PECC), a state employee
union.

Attention: City Clerk to the City Council
Dear Mayor:
J am ting to ask for e City Cciuicll' S sUpport for legislation I have authored AB 247) which
would amend current law to explicitly grant cities the authority to ban the sale of specific types of
firearms tbrougli local ordin.?rnce.
As you know, over 30 cities in Cabfomia have passed ordinar?ces to the sale of atui day
Night Specials." The City of Wes? Holl???od, which was the fust city to pass such an ordinance,
was yecently sued by the C?i fo?ia Rifle and Pistol. Association and the National Rifle
Associatio?
j?ri a landmark decisioji the Los Angeles Superior Court upheld he W?st Hollywood ordiau)ce
ruling that although the Penal Code reserves the authority to regQlate the registration and licensing
of firearms to the State, it is silent in regard to tlie sale of firearnis. Specifically, the Court held
*?There does not exib?t an express coifflict or express preernptio? with state law and. a local ordinance
prohibiting the sale of Saturday Night Special s.?'
owever, the NRA and file Caljfori.?ia Rifle and Pistol A9sociation have appealed the lower court
decision to the Appellate Court 4oreover, the NRA's national financial network is expected to
raise millions of doll&s to fight this ruling. Understandably, doz-?s of cities have postponed
consideration of similar ordinances ti1 this legal battle is re??ved, which could take many years.
In response to this situation I have authored Ass embly Biil 247 which amends State law to
explicitly grain cities the authonty to bwi the sale of any fireai,?? they deem necessaw Moreover,
the language in the bill establishes that the provisions of AB 247 do not constitute a change in law,
but are merely deel??to?' of existing la?v.
I hope that the City Council W?l1 join me in this effort to empower Cities to better regulate the sale
of fireanns by p? sing a resolution in support of AB 247.
Thatik you for your consideration of this request I ha'?c attached a copy of AB 247 for your
review and records- Should ou Deed additiunal information regardmg AB 247, please calJ me.

Chamber of Commerce requesting implementation of a program whereby City and
Chamber representatives would meet regularly, perhaps weekly, with La Quinta

The Chamber suggests in its letter that the program has been used in other cities with
great results. City staff conferred with Chamber Executive Director Michelle Dallas
and was referred to the San Rafael Chamber for more program information. Staff
spoke with Elisa Giambastiani, San Rafael Chamber Director, who advised that San
Rafael had surveyed its top 1 OO companies and, subsequently, initiated a program
where the Mayor and Chamber Director met monthly with those businesses having
trouble expanding". Ms. Giambastiani indicated she was not aware of other joint
City/Chamber efforts, but believed the Santa Rosa Chamber conducted a similar
program, albeit independent of the City.
The La Quinta Chamber suggests this program would open lines of communication
and allow businesses an opportunity to express face to face what we may be able
to do better or more effectively for them". The Chamber indicates they would assign

City to display selected artwork. The result of this year-long process is attached as Exhibit
A" Temporary Donation and Acceptance Agreement") which has been drafted by the City
Attorney. It is the opinion of the City Attorney that this document would allow the program

ITEM TITLE: Final Acceptance of Improvements to STUDY SESSION:
Tract 23913, Quinterra.
PUBLIC HEARING:
RECOMMENDATION:
Accept improvements to Tract 23913.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
The Quinterra subdivision is located on the north side of Miles Avenue east of
Adams Street Attachment 1). Tract improvements were secured by Windsor
Projects, Inc. which has since lost control of the subdivision. Snellenberger and
Associates purchased lots within the tract from the foreclosing bank.
Under the purchase agreement, Snellenberger was required to construct the
remaining portion of on-site improvements and maintain all improvements until
they are accepted by the City. Attachment 2 is a list of improvements required of
this tract.
The City is exploring legal remedies to enforce the requirement for deferred off-site
improvements consisting of the Miles Avenue median and a portion of the
Miles/Adams traffic signal. Until this issue is resolved, the improvement security
provided by Windsor Projects will not be released. The sole purpose of the action
recommended in this staff report is to relieve Snellenberger of the responsibility for
maintenance of the completed improvements.
