Re: Use of La Quinta Community Center
For the past twenty-one years I have studied the Korean art of
Tang Soodo'', have attained the rank of fourth degree black belt,
and am sanctioned and certified by the United States Karate Federa-
tion to instruct. Over the years, karate has been very good to me.
It has taught me self discipline, self respect, and respect for
others. It is for this reason that I want to pass on what I have
learned to other members of the community, young and old alike.
During the seven months that I have conducted classes at the La
Quinta Community Center, I have found that there is a great demand for
this program by our youth as well as the adult population of our
community. However, because of the costs connected with attending
the school such as uniforms, instruction fees, grading fees, and
federation dues, the costs have become prohibitive for many people.
For this reason, I would like to propose the following:
My more advanced students and I have agreed to give of our time
at no charge to teach classes. We are requesting the support of the
City Council to make the Community Center available to us at no
charge on Mondays and Thursdays from 7:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M.,and
Saturdays from 8:00 A.M. to 12:00 noon. These eight hours a week
would enable us to instruct two classes beginning and intermediate)
each week.
My costs for renting the Community Center has been $60.00 per week.
It is my understanding that the Council has time reserved at the
Center for functions such as this. I feel that it would be a great
help to the community if the Council could assist in this matter.

regarding Mr. Flores or his business activities.
I have known Juan Flores personally since 1975, and, have
found him to be an honest and hard working individual.
Any questions regarding Mr. Flores' relationship with the
City of Indio should be directed to the undersigned.

Dear Sirs and Madam:
My attorney has advised me to file a claim against this city
because of the repeated incidents of wild dog packs harassing me
and other residents. I did speak to the City Council at the
meeting three weeks ago, but nothing has been done regarding this
serious problem which has been going on for the six years I have
been living in La Quinta.
One of the issues pertinent to the incorporation of La Quinta was
that something would be done to resolve this issue, but it has
been just one year that a dogcatcher has been hired to handle the
dog packs. Even though I have offered my help in publicizing the
problem and working for the resolution of this matter, the city
seems to feel that it is not an important issue.
As Doug Brown informed me, the money needed to run the city comes
from the large developers, such as Landmark, and their needs have
preference over other problems of the Cove area.
Dogs can roam all over La Quinta. Do we have to wait until
someone at the Hotel and Tennis matches are attacked before any
action will be taken?
After all, the reputation of all La Quinta is an issue if any
derogatory publicity is involved concerning the wild dog packs
that do roam the area.
Your reply stating the plans for the immediate resolution to the
dog packs roaming the area is requested within the next couple of
weeks or further action will have to be taken for the safety of
my life and others.
Very truly yours,
AUDREY B. OSTROWSKY

Dear Mrs. OstrOws1*T:
This letter is in response to your letter to the La OLlinta City Council
dated February 13, 1984.
You state in your letter that nothing has been done" regarding
reports of wild dog packs harassing you and other residents. This
simply is not so. Perhaps this is due to a lack of kna**ledge regarding
our vigorous animal control efforts in La Quinta.
Regarding your cwn use of animal control services we show the following:
1. 10-20-83 0900 hours: Dogs running*'g at large". Animal Control Officer
Ac*) responded to area of 77-400 Calle Sinaloa at 0930 hours and was
unable to locate any dogs loose in area. ACO also re-patrolled the
area at 1044 hours, and still could not locate any loose dogs.
2. 10-23-83 0916 hours: ACO patrolled the area of 77-400 Calle Sinaloa
and found no loose animals. *patrolled at 1021 hours-again with
negative results.
3. 10-24-83 0842 hours: ACO again patrolled the area of 77-400 Calle
Sinaloa no dogs loose.
4. 10-26-83 0944 hours: Dogs chasing Mrs. Ostrowsky*sky on her bike" ACO
responded at 1002 hours and dis*vered two dogs loose in area. Followed
dogs to a house at 51-573 Avenida Obregon. No one at hoce a warning
notice was left for the occupants. Unable to capture anil[Lals.
5. l*28-83 0945 hours: ACO followed-up on loose a**s fr* 51-573
Avenida Obregon. Observed both ariirr*s tied in yard.
6. 11-3-83 1100 hours: ACO patrolled area of Avenida Obregon and
Calle Sinaloa no loose dogs noted. Checked 51-573 Avenida Obregon
and observed one German Shepard male dog tied to the house.
7. Ncve***r to January n*e*us occasions ACO conducted regLilar
patrols of the area around Mrs. Ostrowsky' 5 residence. Several warning

animal control work. Mrs. Ostrowsky made numerous suggestions
of her uwi regarding ardinal control. A.C.O. Aird briefed
her on the legalistics of animal control L* Quinta Municipal
Code, Penal Code, State Humane Laws, etc.) as to why t*Ax)gs
were being done the way we are doing *
Nan:: Frc*n the records on file at City Hall:
ccir*ty safety Coordinator Brown has talked with Mrs.
Ostrowsky on several occasions both in person and via
telephone) regarding animal control. The thrust of the
**ssage to Mrs. Ostrowsky was that we are doing the best we
can with what resources are available. Mrs. Ostrowsky was also
informed that dog traps were available for her use, but were
never requested by her until 2-24-84.'*

and service the trap later this date. Baiting the trap is
explained in the instructions provided to trap users and is a
responsibility of the trap user.

our solo animal control officer during her first four months of actually

for five months, and not one year" as you stated in your letter. The
anirnal control officer spent her first *nth on the job Septeeber 1983)
setting up the anirnal control de*ment including develcp"rent of all the
legally proper operating policy, forms, warning letters, and licensing syst*n.
She also procured animal control eguipeent and underwent special training.
Our aniral control officer was also budgeted as only a half-time position
with the other half of her time going ta**ards street maintenance. As it has
turned out, about 90% of her time has been in the area of anu* control.
MLlch is being done and has been done to corbat the afliir*l problE*ns
in La Quinta. Unfortunately we cannot solve a problem in a few months
which you pointed out in your letter, has been going on for the six
years you have lived in La Cuinta. Much more reaains to be done.
I would like to correct your sta**ts regarding what I told
you in reference to money and developeent in La Quinta. I informed you,
on more than one occasion, that the long-range fiscal well being of this
city depends heavily on future c*""*cial an'd hotel developient, since
these are substantial revenue producing areas. I also told you that
to provide the variety and level of service desired by residents of the
cove area, that property taxes fr* the cove area alone would fall short
of providing needed revenues for those services. I did
not tell you that developers' needs had a preference over other probl*ns
of the cove area. As an exan*le: 90% of the incidents requiring service
by the Ccmn*ty Safety Department are to the cove area.
I hope this letter clarifies sane of the points you wrote in your
letter regarding the ariunal control services in La QLlinta. Please feel
free to contact either the Animal Control Officer or me if we can be
of any further assistance to you.

Dear Council:
Two complaints.
First, the questionnaire mailed out in January. Typical political move,
when the answers are only a smoke screen, as decision is already made to
proceed. Answering in a negative way would have been like voting against
motherhood, apple pie and the American flag.
A more fair questionnaire would have been to explain the costs, outline
where and how the costs would be financed, then ask the questions. The
fact there is no free lunch, means someone, someplace is going to have
to pay. Who?
Second3 I witnessed two exhibitions out of three) in the past month, which
I cannot let go without comment. This the capturing" of injured ducks at
Lake Cahuilla by, I learned yesterday, your female Animal Control Officer.
Seldom have I seen such a display of stupidity, not to mention cruelty.
I first saw the County Parks boat with 2 people chasing a white duck about
3 weeks ago and chasing and chasing, for over half an hour. I later asked
what they had been up to, as they were some distance from where I was fish-
mg, thus I could only see what was going on, no details.
I was told that one of the pet white ducks had a broken leg. I'd guess
some nut broke it by throwing a rock.)
Then yesterday, here came the boat again, with gasoline outboard motor. No
such motors are allowed, except by the County on the County boat. There again
were 2 people in the boat, this time I could see they were both in uniform.
The duck chase began just before 2:00 PM. Soon the white duck was separated
from the rest and the chase began to heat up. Back and forth. Zig zag.
Around and around, Forward and back. Every time the boat got close, the
duck would dive under the water.

I could see the person in the bow of the boat was a young lady, holding what
appeared to be a stick with a loop of cord attached. The stick was 2 or 3
feet long.
Soon the chase got in front of some 50 fishermen. The operator of the boat
and motor would call out look out for your lines:" and around and around
they'd go. Down the bank, back up, back down, out in the middle and back
again.
Soon people who were camped began walking over to watch to total stupidity
of 2 grown adults chasing a poor scared duck which being a pet, is too fat
to fly. People were yelling at the boat occupants, but on and on the chase
went.
It was obvious to even the most stupid of us, that the girl needed a long
handle attached to a net, like a fisherman's net, to slam down over the duck
when it came up. A length of PVC 3/4" pipe, with a heavy wire loop and a
*2.5O fisherman's net purchased at Yellow Mart would do.
Finally they ran over the poor duck with the outboard and sliced it up:
In later talking to the County Ranger who had been running the boat, he
said he was sorry the accident" happened. Several of us said it was a
miracle the poor duck survived as long as it did, over an hour, as they
had made 500 to 1,000 or more passes at, over and around the duck, trying
to guess at the spot the duck would surface. No accident.
I asked why they were chasing the duck in the first place, as surely the
poor duck was as strong as a mule to keep going that long. Oh it had a
hook in * mouth or throat as you could see the leader trailing from
it's mouth." Well that hook won't bother the poor bird now:)
The Ranger said that was the third duck they'd had to chase down in the last
30 days. The gal is Animal Control with the City of La Quinta and the City
* afford proper equipment you know."
On Monday, February 6th, we had out-of-town friends arrive in their motor
home, to stay out at the lake for a week1s fishing and vacation, thus I was
out every day to visit and fish with them.
Monday afternoon, a man drove up and called Here ducks, quack, quack" and
the 12 or 15 pet ducks came rushing frotn all over to be fed stale bread.
We went over and watched as the man hand fed them.
On the afternoon of the 8th, I too took out some stale bread and fed the
ducks, plus a partial can of corn which I'd been using for bait.
On both occasions I saw the white duck with the line hanging out of it's
beak, but this was a healthy duck who ate right along with the rest of the
ducks. The hook might have been an irritation, but surely was not killing
the bird.

If your Animal Control Person had used some common sense, knowing these ducks
are more-or-less pets, she might have made an effort to simply sit by the
lakes edge and try hand feeding and make a grab at the bird.
In any event, there were something close to 100 people watching this stupid
chase and all were of a single mind: first it was cruel, next dumb and it
cost what? Plenty, in time of 2 public employees, a boat, motor and some
from of transportation to and from the lake for the Animal Control Person.
As you know, I opposed Cityhood on just such grounds. More bureaucracy
which is a nice name for stupidity) and no funds for same. This is a prime
example of #IYOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK11.
All the cry about lack of animal control in La Quinta Cove in the Cityhood
campaign and promises of improved services at no additional cost, etc.
It now seems clear that the City has taken on, as a formal and official
function of the new City, to take care of the ducks at Lake Cahuilla, as
this chase on February 9th was the third, at least the second I have seen
with my own eyes.
If the City is determined to take care of the ducks which mean people are
hurting, then La Quinta City should and must do a more humane job. The City
will have to invest in proper nets and procedures.
I am today sending in a written complaint to the SPCA on this behavior. The
SPCA may have some Guidelines on how to capture ducks without running over
the poor birds with the prop of an outboard.
One wonders, after witnessing such stupidity, if the Animal Control Officer
acquires this degree of stupidity in classes after entering the program or
if stupidity is a prerequisite for application for the job?
If this is procedure", then the next time a call comes in for the Animal
Control Officer to capture a stray dog, she likely would just run over the
dog with her truck:
Why not buy her a shotgun and she could just blow off a hind leg of any lose
animals, that way saving time capturing them. whatts the difference between
chopping up a duck or shooting stray dogs?
I do not fault the County Panger, as he was simply trying to comply with orders
to cooperate with the City Animal Control Officer and assist. Other County
employees just rolled their eyes when I asked what the deal was with the La
Quinta City Animal Control Officer and the duck chases.
I might add, friends have a small ranch and white ducks about the property.
Coyotes grab a sleeping duck now and then, usually doing harm, such as a
broken wing or leg. The ducks heal up and flop about and hobble about just
fine, let alone. It1s simply life. Further, fishermenvs lines will get
tangled up with the ducks from time to time.

And Man, is a cruel thing and there is that small percentage who will hurt
and cripple defenceless animals. Look at the pelicans that someone is cutting
off their upper bills. Thus unless you bar the public from Lake Cahuilla, the
City of La Quinta will have a continuing cost of doctoring the injured ducks.
I think it only fair that the citizens of La Quinta's elected representatives
air this expense at a public Council Meeting and explain to the people why
the tax dollars are being spent on the ducks at Lake Cahuilla.
Again, if this be a humane program, I am all for it, but for God's Sake
and the sake of the poor, scared ducks, do a proper job.
So, long letter to say my TURKEY OF THE MONTH AWARD goes to the Questionnaire
for January 1984 and to the Animal Control Officer for February 1984.

CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Douglas Brown, Community Safety Coordinator
Date: February 16, 1984
Subject: SPECIAL REPORT Traffic near La Quinta Park
This report is in response to a request by members
of the City Council regarding traffic problems near the
La Quinta Park, specifically at the intersections of
Avenida Montezuma at Avenida Navarro and at Eisenhower
Drive at Avenida Montezuma.
The following action has been taken regarding your
request:
1. It is common practice to have any traffic problem
of this type studied by a traffic engineer, an expert" in
traffic matters. I do not feel so qualified to render such
opinions by myself. An attempt to recruit the services of
the Riverside County Roads Department, Traffic Engineering
Section, to do that work for us was made. We were advised
by that section that it was impossible for them to provide
such services within the next two months due to a backlog
of other work.
2. This matter was brought up before the La Quinta
Traffic Safety Committee at its meeting of February 9, 1984.
Based on the data available to the committee which includes
the Institute of Transportation Studies recent report,
traffic accident statistics and reports, and warrants there
is no serious11 traffic problem that needs immediate action
in the area of the park. Using all guidelines and practices
available to any other traffic safety committee it would be
reasonable and prudent to recommend no action at this time.
3. The design of these two intersections, which were
laid out many, many years ago when the tract was recorded,
is to be considered unique. That is because we have both
intersections being the convergence point for five separate
traffic routes. Typically, an intersection will usually
only consist of four or three traffic routes merging at a
common point. Redesign of the intersections can then be a
method for helping to eliminate the potential for accidents.
4. The proper and warranted traffic control signage
for these intersections has been installed and functioning
under the au species of the Riverside County Roads Department.

* La Quinta Park Traffic
5. One-way streets have been suggested as a possible
solution to the problems at these intersections. The Traffic
Safety Committee discussed this idea back in July of last
year. However, Mr. Haley, the traffic engineer from I.T.S.
recommended against the use of one-way streets in this area
reference I.T.S. Traffic safety Evaluation report for La
Quinta, page 43, suggested One-Way System Around Town Park.")
To quote Mr. Haley from that report, To one-way these
streets would appear to be applying more control than necessary."
6. As an alternative to one-way streets, the Traffic
Safety Committee discussed another possible solution. That
solution would be to eliminate Avenida Montezuma around the
south side of the park. That could be accomplished by cul-
de-sacing both ends where they meet with Eisenhower and at
Avenida Navarro.
The thrust of this plan would be to make both intersections
into typical four-way intersections. Access to Avenida Monte-
zuma on the south side of the park would be off of Avenida
Mendoza. Sufficient turning area would be provided on both
ends. It would also be desirable to change the name of that
portion of Avenida Montezuma to a court" or place" name,
perhaps Montezuma Place.
An added advantage to this plan would be that thru traffic
around the south side of the park would be eliminated and much
additional parking would be available for athletic events or
visitors to the park. I would also like to call to the
attention of the City Council that this would mean increased
safety since the ballfield and the playground are both located
on the south side of the park. This would prevent vehicles
from zooming through that area as I have so often personally
witnessed during night sporting events.
The plan would also include blocking off both ends of
Avenida Montezuma south) by using improvements such as curb-
ing and gutters filled in with landscaped planters with walk-
ways. This would help to satisfy other City Council objectives
by helping to beautify downtown La Quinta. Crosswalks would
also be planned to facilitate pedestrian safety to each side
of the park.
It is my recommendation to the City Council that one of
the following courses of action be decided upon to resolve
this situation:
No. 1: Implement no changes at this time since no
APPROVED changes are warranted per recent studies.
No. 2: Adopt Item #6 as noted above and direct staff
A*TOCONTENT. to take the necessary steps to implement it.

CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: Fellow Counc**bers
From: Fred Wolff*
Date: February 13, 1984
Subject: Traffic Report
It seems all of us feel an urgency to take some steps to
deal with traffic problems in La Quinta, as they relate to
speed limits, signs and controls. I have taken the liberty
to develop the attached study and recommendations for our
deliberations.
It seems when there is a written document to which we can
relate....and which we can change, modify, add to or delete
from, etc., etc. etc......action is more likely to follow.
So, please look upon this as a point of departure to move
us to action; it's the only concrete set of recommendations
we have at this time.
I am asking the City Manager to place this on the agenda
for our next meeting. I suggest we then decide 1) are
there items on which we can act now? 2) which items do we
want to deal with later on,perhaps in a special mee
3) which items do we want to eliminate totally; ortl(fl4*?
do we want a special session to deal with the whole problem
of *Traffic*?
Whatever action we take, I hope it1ll result in a safer,
rational traffic pattern for our city..
Thank you for your consideration.

CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Ann Jennings, Assistant to the City Manager
Date: February 13, 1984
Subject: Proposal for City Communications Program"
At the City Council goal setting session held January 19, 1984,
the Council established as its fifth priority the need for a
City Communications Program", and requested the proposal for
presentation by February 21, 1984. The following ideas
represent staff recommendations for such a program based on
two criteria:
1. Council/community need for an on-going information
program.
2. Staff time necessary for implementation of such a
program on a permanent, regular basis.
The ideas presented are a PROPOSAL, and may serve as a guideline
and beginning point in the City's efforts towards sharing our
ideas and accomplishments with the community. This proposal may
be changed, added to, amended or deleted from, as the Council
desires.
The structure of the program I have outlined is based on the
Council's expressed willingness to provide the community with
information regarding City legislation and local government
issues; fostering a feeling of community cohesiveness; and to
enlighten the residents of La Quinta relative to the activities
and services which are available.
1 CITY NEWSLETTER
To date, the City has published two newsletters... the first
was mailed in November, 1983, and the second was mailed
February 15, 1984. It would be staff's recommendation to
publish the newsletter on a quarterly basis: February, May,
August and November. Content would vary, and would be based
on information which the City wishes the citizenry to be
aware of; current and pending City legislation and codes;
discussion involving Council activities; various City commissions
* p committee involvement; news about City projects and items of
community interest; and a Calendar of Events for the month.

P*'*e Two.
The City newsletters have been extremely well received by La
Quinta residents. They are currently distributed to all persons
in La Quinta who receive their mail through a post office box or
at their star route address, residents of both mobile home parks
within the newly annexed areas to the north, and a mailing list
composed of residents in the area just south of Plaza La Quinta
and out-of-town residents or seasonal people. The newsletter
enables these people to keep abreast of City activities and
fosters their sense of belonging to a community and being a part
of that community.
Once a regular date for the newsletter has been established, a
cut-off date for materials to be included in the newsletter will
be used, and council members, staff or community groups will
contribute based on these dates. All ideas for interesting items
for the newsletter are appreciated, and will be included if space
is available.
II. TOWN HALL MEETINGS
Town hall meetings are an idea which have been nurtured by several
council members, and have been well received and attended by the
public. Town hall meetings could be held as often as the Council
A feels is useful, but staff would recommend that they be held
*.` **semi-annually. It is further recommended that these meetings be
7h ld in the evening to permit business people and those employed
* **full time to attend.
The town hall meetings could be held at City Hall, or if the
Council wishes, be scheduled for the La Quinta Community Center.
It would be helpful to set the date for these town hall meetings
well in advance such as the 2nd Monday in January and July, for
instance), so that they may be publicized in advance. This will
assure more community attendance and would enable people to give
some thought to the various subjects they might wish to discuss
in these open forum meetings.
III. MONTHLY CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Staff would prepare a MONTHLY Calendar of Events detailing City
meetings and activities, City committee/commission meeting dates,
and the scheduled meeting times of various community groups and
special events such as the La Quinta Arts Festival or Bob Hope
Classic)
It i*s anticipated that the monthly calendar would be distributed
to the City Council, staff and all City commissions/committees
local citizen groups, the Chamber of Commerce and Property Owners'
Association, and would be posted in several prominent places in
town. It could also be used as a handout for walk-in traffic at
City Hall, and possibly at a few local participating businesses.

A monthly Calendar of Events would provide for community unity
in the scheduling of*meetings and events which affect many
people who are involved in several groups. It would also
eliminate duplicate scheduling and lack of information between
community groups and City scheduled meetings and events..
It is planned that input for the Calendar would be requested
from various community groups to allow for mutual sharing of
information.
IV. COMMUNITY HANDOUTS & PUBLIC SERVICE INFORMATION
Interest has been expressed numerous times for handouts which
have information regarding municipal services, local utility
information, etc.
Based on these requests, and having looked at what several other
agencies have done in this regard, it is suggested that staff
prepare three handouts which will be available for public
distribution:
A. A directory of the City Council, Planning Commission, and
other Council-appointed committees, describing their
function of each group, the names of the members, the
meeting time and place. The directory would also include
information regarding the potential vacancy or availability
of seats during the calendar year.
B. A directory of local State, County and City officials, with
names and addresses where they may be contacted.
C. A directory of public service agencies and utility companies
and also listing Valley-wide services, recreational facilities
and services.
Discussion of additional ideas for an on-going communications
program is welcomed. This proposal is intended as a departure
point and may be implemented beginning March 1, 1984.

CONVENTION & VISITORS BUREAU
PARTICIPATION BY MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTS
Introduction
Beneficial increases in tax revenues to city and county governments of
the Coachella Valley, will result by their investment in the DRCCVB.
Direct Benefit will accrue to municipalities when new visitor develop-
ment efforts: higher bed tax revenues are generated; incremental sales
tax revenue is also produced. Therefore, in their own self-interest,
cities are urged to support the DRCCVB through the following tangible
means.
1. Founder Representation
Any person or entity may become a Founder. The chief benefit to being
a Founder is the opportunity to participate in the development of the
bureau's major policies, plans and procedures.
Required Founder contribution: $5,000
2. Matching Funds Program
Each city will have local private firms paying annual membership dues
to the DRCCVB. The dues assessments to be approved by the Founders,
are expected to range from $250-$l0,000 per member, depending on the
revenue potential they could derive from increased visitor development.
City governments are asked to match the annual membership funds paid by
firms in their jurisdiction, up to the following maximum amounts per year*
Palm Desert 40,000
Rancho Mirage 40,000
Cathedral City 20,000
Indian Wells 15,000
La Quinta 20,000
Indio 20,000
*These limits will be subject to review on a bi-annual basis.

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of Council
From: Frank M. Usher, City Manager
Date: February 17, 1984
Subject: Service Bonus, Principal Planner
Sandra Bonner, our Principal Planner, has carried the
major burden of the planning function since July 1983.
We provided funds in the budget for the Planning
Director position for 11 months of this fiscal year.
With the filling of the position in March, there will
be a salary savings of approximately $18,306.
Because of the added responsibility which Sandy has
handled, I am recommending a one-time bonus of $4,992,
which represents the difference between her salary
and A step of the Planning Director salary, times
the 8 months from July through February. This would
be a one-time payment, and would not be a change in
salary.
I believe that Sandy has worked very hard during this
period, and has earned this consideration.
If Council approves, an appropriate resolution authorizing
payment will be prepared.

Subject: Desert Resort Communities Convention & Visitors Bureau
Corporation. Escrow Instructions
The attached escrow instructions Sec. Pac. Bank #338-6395-H,
dated February 24, 1984) provide that the escrow holder shall hold
the La Quinta $5,000 until the new corporation is formed and it
holds a minimum aggregate of $50,000; at which time it would
disburse the funds to the new corporation. If the conditions
corporation formed and $50,000 accumulated) do not occur by
March 30, the parties agree to further instructions to cancel
the escrow and return the funds to each contributing party.
Although the spirit is there, the strict wording of the
instructions does not assure the City of La Quinta the right to
absolute withdrawal at any time prior to close if the City has
some disagreement with the provisions of the corporate forma-
tion and function articles of incorporation and by-laws) In
order to assure this right, I suggest the following language be
added to the escrow instructions.
*`Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the City
of La Quinta shall have the right to withdraw said $5,000
at any time and for any reason, by written request to
escrow holder, prior to close of escrow

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA QUINTA
OF*
I
To: Fellow Counci*Me mb e r 5
From:
Fred Wolf
Date: 2/28/84
Subject: Revised Plans for Downtown Development
Because the businessmen and property owners of the downtown
area were discouraged by one individual from responding to the
City Councilts proposal for planning downtown development, we
can not anticipate any cooperative effort from the group.
However, I believe that we, as elected representatives of the
people of this city, have a responsibility to assure desirable
and orderly planning for the downtown area of our town.
It seems to me now that this planning process needs to have
broader participation than just city hall and a few businessmen/
property owners. All residents of our community, most par-
ticularly those in the Covett, will be affected by what develops
in that area; it's part of their town. While merchants and property
owners perceive the issue frorn a profit viewpoint which is most
proper), the residents of the town see it as a community concern,
which is far broader and has additional implications.
We do need to move and move rapidly on this planning effort lest
the city is faced with small individual developments which make
overall planning almost impossib1e.Thus* I respectfully present
the following revised plan for you*consideration and discussion:
REVISED PLAN FOR DOW*TOWN DEVELOPME*T
1. Establish a DOWNTOWN PLANNING ADVISORY COMMITTEE with
representation from a cross-section of the community:
1.1. Two representatives from the Property Owners
Association selected by the organization).
1.2. Two representatives from the Chamber of Commerce
selected by the Chamber)
1.3. Two representatives of the La Quinta Business Asso-
ciation selected by the Association)
1.4. One member each from the City Council and the
Planning Commission.
1.5. The City Planning Director.
2. Once the members are identified, the committe will be
appointed by, and be advisory to, the City Council.

3. The City Manager will be asked to immediately employ a
planner/community development specialist, to work under the
supervision of the Planning Director.
3.1. Theassignment of the new staff person will be:
One third of his time as staff to the D.P.A.C.
Downtown Planning Committee); and two-third of his
time be devoted to General Plan Development* Both
assignments are inter-related.
4. The D.P.A.C. will develop broad and specific concepts for
development of downtown including:
4.1. A theme
An architectural motif
Jdentification of initial geographic area
Recommendations for types of enterprises in the area
4.2. The work of the D.P.A.C. shall be based on a time-line
developed by them and approved by the City Council.
This time-line shall be their first effort.
4.3. As products are developed by the D.P.A.C, they shall
be presented to their constituent groups for discussions
and reaction.
4.4. The City Council shall have final adoption authority
for these plans, and take appropriate actions for
compliance and implementation.
5. The Redevelopment Agency shall agree NOT to use eminent
domain until the plan is adopted, or the time for finalizing
the plan according to the adopted time-line) has expired:
whichever happens sooner.
5.1. At that time, the Agency will only use eminent domain
at the recommendation of the D.P.A.C. in order to
assure that no one individual or group will stop the
development agreed to by the rest.
5.2. Eminent domain shall not be used for other purposes.
