The General Plan APR reviews all goals, policies and programs for the mandated elements: Land Use, Circulation, Housing, Conservation, Open Space, Safety, and Noise (Attachment 2). Additionally, the General Plan APR reviews all optional elements such as the Livable Community, Economic Development, Parks, Recreation, and Trails, Air Quality, Biological Resources and Cultural Resources. General Plan implementation occurs regularly by all City Departments through the development and implementation of City programs, and PC and Council review of development projects for consistency with the General Plan. Implementation of General Plan goals, policies and programs may require new initiatives that extend beyond the development review process. Significant implementation efforts include the adoption of Zoning Map and Zoning Text Amendments for General Plan consistency and periodic development code updates. Other implementation efforts in 2019 included: • Preparation and finalization of the Highway 111 Corridor plan to facilitate existing businesses and attract new business by maintaining flexible land use standards; • Pursuing funding to prepare a Citywide Active Transportation Plan to implement circulation goals by promoting active transportation; • City-sponsored events in various areas of the City to implement economic development goals to attract visitors to the area; • Enforcement and collection of transient occupancy tax (TOT) from Short-term Vacation Rental Program to implement economic development goals while maintaining quality of life in residential neighborhoods; • Finalization of Washington Street Apartments rehabilitation/additional unit development to implement housing goals and progress regional housing needs; • Installing new pickle ball courts and Cove trailhead improvements that promote the health and well-being of the community. Housing Element APR Preparing and submitting the Housing Element APR to HCD and OPR is required by all cities pursuant to SB 35 and AB 879, enacted in 2017. Codified as Government Code 65400, this legislation requires cities to prepare an 22 annual Housing Element Progress Report that outlines annual building activity, housing development applications received, and progress towards achieving a city’s regional housing needs allocation (Attachment 3). The City has made significant progress towards achieving its regional housing needs allocation. The current report shows the City meeting its 91-unit very low income allocation goal, 61-unit low income allocation goal, and 146-unit above moderate income allocation goal, but still short of its 66-unit moderate income allocation goal. The City has met its 364-unit overall regional allocation goal for this housing cycle (2014-2021); however, the 2018 and 2019 numbers have not yet been accepted by HCD. The City of La Quinta Planning Commission during its regular meeting on February 25, 2020, recommended City Council authorize submittal of the General Plan APR and Housing Element APR to OPR and HCD. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The General Plan APR and Housing Element APR are not subject to CEQA as the reports are not a project as defined in Section 15378(b)(2) of the Public Resources Code. ALTERNATIVE Council may elect not to authorize submittal of the reports to OPR and HCD or may request modifications to the reports.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY •The City has an agreement with Riverside County (County) wherein the County assesses properties within the City for the maintenance and operations of street sweeping, flood control, retention basin, and other drainage facilities within the City to improve overall storm water quality. •These activities are required under the Clean Water Act and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Program. •The Council must annually adopt a resolution authorizing the County to assess City parcels and hold the County harmless for levying the assessments. •The per parcel assessment rate will remain unchanged from its original 1997 rate of $9.99 per Benefit Assessment Unit for the Fiscal Year 2020/21. FISCAL IMPACT County Service Area (“CSA”) 152 assessments generate approximately $300,000 per year. These funds are held by the County and are designated for expenditures related to storm water pollution mitigation under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. The City requests reimbursement for qualifying expenditures, such as retention basin maintenance, and the revenue is recognized in General Fund (Account No. 101- 0000-43633, CSA 152 Assessments). CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 4 69 BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS In 1991, the County enacted CSA 152 to provide funding for local jurisdictions to maintain flood control and storm drain facilities. In 1994, the City joined CSA 152, and in 1997 the Council approved the Benefit Assessment Unit rate of $9.99. The City/County Agreement is available for review in the Public Works Department. Staff recommends the City’s continued participation in CSA 152 and to authorize the County to levy and collect these assessments for Fiscal Year 2020/21. ALTERNATIVES Staff does not recommend an alternative.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California, as follows: SECTION 1. The City Council finds the foregoing recitals to be true and correct. SECTION 2. The City Council finds and declares that the City’s CSA 152 charges are assessments within the definition of California Constitution Article XIIID, Section 2(b), in that they confer special benefits upon each parcel of property subject to the assessments. SECTION 3. The City Council finds and declares that pursuant to Article XIIID, Section 5(a), the City’s CSA 152 assessments are exempt from the new procedures and approval requirements of Article XIIID, Section 4, because the City’s CSA 152 assessments existed before November 6, 1996, and the assessments are imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs and maintenance and operation expenses for street sweeping, flood control, and drainage systems in the City. SECTION 4. The City Council hereby reaffirms its adoption of the annual assessment for CSA 152 and hereby determines that the annual assessment rate for fiscal year 2020/2021 for CSA 152 is to be set at nine dollars and ninety-nine cents ($9.99) per Benefit Assessment Unit. The method of computation has not been changed nor has the rate of assessment been increased since August 6, 1996. 72 Resolution No. 2020 – xxx County Service Area 152 Assessment for Fiscal Year 2020/21 Adopted: March 17, 2020 Page 3 of 3 SECTION 5. The City Council hereby authorizes the County of Riverside to levy assessments under CSA 152 for the benefit of the City. The City agrees that it shall indemnify, defend and hold the County and members of its Board, and its officers, employees and agents harmless from (1) any and all claims, demands, and causes of action of any kind or nature whatsoever and (2) any and all liability of any kind or nature whatsoever that may arise out of or be caused by, or be attributable to the imposition, collection, or allocation of any tax (special or general), assessment fees or charges, and/or any other revenue generated through City’s application of reliance on or use of County Service Area 152. PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the La Quinta City Council held on this 17th day of March 2020, by the following vote: AYES: NOES: ABSTAIN: ABSENT: ____________________________ LINDA EVANS, Mayor City of La Quinta, California ATTEST: _________________________ MONIKA RADEVA, CITY CLERK City of La Quinta, California (CITY SEAL) APPROVED AS TO FORM: ___________________________ WILLIAM H. IRHKE, City Attorney City of La Quinta, California 73 74 City of La Quinta CITY COUNCIL MEETING: March 17, 2020 STAFF REPORT AGENDA TITLE: APPROVE AGREEMENT FOR FUNDING WITH THE RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION UNDER SENATE BILL 821 BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES PROGRAM FOR WASHINGTON STREET AT AVENUE 50 AND CALLE TAMPICO SIDEWALK AND AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT PROJECT NO. 2019-23; AND APPROVE RELATED BUDGET ADJUSTMENT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2019/20 RECOMMENDATION Approve Agreement for Funding with Riverside County Transportation Commission under Senate Bill 821 Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Program grant funding; approve related budget adjustment for fiscal year 2019/20; authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement; and add Washington Street at Avenue 50 and Tampico Sidewalk and American with Disabilities Act Project No. 2019-23 to the 2019/20 Capital Improvement Plan. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY •Staff has identified a missing curb ramp where a crosswalk and pedestrian push button exist at the northwest corner of the intersection of Washington Street and Avenue 50 and received a resident request to construct a portion of sidewalk along the southside of Calle Tampico from Calle Obispo to Washington Street. (Attachment 1) •Staff submitted a grant application in April 2019 to the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) for Senate Bill 821 Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Program (SB821) funding. •The City was awarded SB821 grant funding for the proposed project and must enter into an agreement for funding (Attachment 2). •The Washington Street at Avenue 50 and Tampico Sidewalk and American with Disabilities Act (ADA) Project (Project) is not currently part of the 2019/20 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). FISCAL IMPACT The total Project cost estimate is $195,400. If approved, the City would receive and allocate $97,700 of SB821 grant funds, 50% of the total project cost. The remaining 50%, or $97,700, would be paid from the ADA Accessible Ramps (1920ADA) and Sidewalks at Various Locations Accounts (1920STI). There are adequate matching funds in these accounts for this Project. CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 5 75 BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS On the northwest side of the intersection at Avenue 50 and Washington Street, the existing pedestrian push buttons cannot be accessed because there is no curb ramp. The crosswalk also terminates into a vertical curb. While the southern crosswalk does terminate into a curb ramp, many school aged children use the north leg and stand in the intersection on the northwest corner. The proposed safety improvements will provide a complete ADA path of travel and will allow people to wait for the signal off the road. The City received a request from a resident, whose primary transportation is a wheelchair, to construct a portion of sidewalk along the southside of Calle Tampico from Calle Obispo to Washington Street. This would allow her and others leaving the neighborhood to use a sidewalk to the intersection of Calle Tampico and Washington Street rather than illegally crossing at Calle Tampico. These projects were combined to reduce soft costs and to increase the quantities to help lower construction costs. The City was successfully awarded SB821 grant funding for this Project and must enter into an agreement for funding with RCTC. A budget adjustment would recognize the new SB821 grant revenue. The Washington Street at Avenue 50 and Tampico Sidewalk and ADA Project must also be added to the 2019/20 Capital Improvement Plan. ALTERNATIVES Staff does not recommend an alternative.

RCTC and RECIPIENT may be referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” RECITALS A. RCTC is a county transportation commission created and existing pursuant to California Public Utilities Code Sections 130053 and 130053.5. B. Under RCTC’s SB 821 Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Program (“PROGRAM”), cities and counties in the County of Riverside are notified of the availability of PROGRAM funding and a call for projects (“CALL FOR PROJECTS”) is anticipated to be issued biennially by RCTC. C. On February 4, 2019, a CALL FOR PROJECTS was published by RCTC seeking applications for FY 2020 PROGRAM funding, which applications were reviewed in accordance with the applicable evaluation criteria included in the CALL FOR PROJECTS. D. Based on the application attached as Attachment 1 and incorporated herein by this reference, RECIPIENT has been selected to receive PROGRAM funding for its proposed Washington Street at Ave 50 and Calle Tampico Sidewalk and ADA Improvements (“PROJECT”). E. Funding for the PROJECT shall be provided pursuant to the terms contained in this AGREEMENT and pursuant to applicable PROGRAM policies adopted by RCTC, which are attached hereto and incorporated herein as Attachment 2. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the preceding recitals and the mutual covenants and consideration contained herein, the Parties mutually agree as follows: 1. Incorporation of Recitals. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the above recitals are true and correct, and hereby incorporate those recitals by this reference into the AGREEMENT. 2. RCTC Funding Amount. RCTC hereby agrees to distribute to the RECIPIENT, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, a sum not to exceed Ninety Seven Thousand Seven Hundred Dollars ($97,700) to be used exclusively for reimbursing the RECIPIENT for eligible expenses as described herein (“FUNDING AMOUNT”). RECIPIENT acknowledges and ATTACHMENT 2 79 17336.00005\32744357.1 2 agrees that the FUNDING AMOUNT may be less than the actual and final cost of the PROJECT, which final costs are the sole responsibility of RECIPIENT, and RCTC will not contribute PROGRAM funds in excess of the maximum authorized in this Section 2 unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the PARTIES. In the event the FUNDING AMOUNT is not fully utilized by RECIPIENT for the PROJECT, the unused FUNDING AMOUNT must be returned to RCTC within ninety (90) ninety days of a written request by RCTC unless RECIPIENT can demonstrate in writing, subject to written approval by RCTC in its sole discretion, the following: (i) valid reason for why PROJECT costs were significantly lower than the estimate included in RECIPIENT’s attached application for funding, and (ii) written proposal for how any unused FUNDING AMOUNT will be used for a proposal to support the PROJECT or other use that supports the goals and requirements of the PROGRAM. 2.1 Eligible Project Costs. Reimbursement for PROJECT costs (“REIMBURSEMENT”) may only include those items expressly allowed for under Article 3 of the Transportation Development Act (California Public Utilities Code section 99200 et seq.), which provides that funding shall be allocated for the construction, including related engineering expenses, of facilities based on the PROGRAM policies adopted by RCTC, provided that such items are included in the scope of work attached hereto and incorporated herein as Attachment 3 (“SCOPE OF WORK”). All PROJECT costs not included in the SCOPE OF WORK and not expressly permitted under Article 3 of the Transportation Development Act and the PROGRAM policies shall be considered ineligible for REIMBURSEMENT. In the event the SCOPE OF WORK needs to be amended, RECIPIENT shall submit a letter requesting such amendment, the reasons for the requested change and confirmation that costs associated with the proposed amendment are eligible for PROGRAM reimbursement for written approval by RCTC, which approval is subject to RCTC’s discretion. In the event of any ambiguity between this AGREEMENT, PROGRAM policies, and applicable law, the following order of precedence will govern: (1) Applicable law; (2) PROGRAM policies; (3) this AGREEMENT. 2.2 Timing for Project Completion. In accordance with the PROGRAM policies attached hereto as Attachment 2, RECIPIENT has twenty-four (24) months to complete the PROJECT from the date of this AGREEMENT, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the PARTIES. If the PROJECT is not completed within 24 months, RCTC shall have the sole discretion to delete the PROJECT from the PROGRAM and reprogram the funding for future approved PROGRAM projects. RECIPIENT will not be reimbursed until the PROJECT is accepted as complete in writing by RCTC following the submission of the PROGRAM funding claim form (“CLAIM FORM”) attached hereto and incorporated herein as Attachment 4. In the event additional time is needed for the completion of the PROJECT, RECIPIENT may submit a letter to RCTC requesting an extension of time to complete the PROJECT with an explanation of why the PROJECT cannot be completed under the existing schedule for completion included as Attachment 3, attached hereto and incorporated herein. Before and after PROJECT photographs must be included with the CLAIM FORM upon PROJECT completion, as well as copies of paid invoices and any other backup requested for repayment and audit purposes. 80 17336.00005\32744357.1 3 2.3 Increases in Project Funding. The FUNDING AMOUNT may, at RCTC’s sole discretion, be augmented with additional PROGRAM funds and local agency match funds proportionate to the amounts included in Section 3 if there is a FUNDING AMOUNT balance and the RECIPIENT provides justification as to the reason for the funding increase. Any such increase in the FUNDING AMOUNT must be approved in writing by RCTC’s Executive Director and RCTC shall be under no obligation whatsoever to approve any increase in the FUNDING AMOUNT. No such increased funding shall be expended to pay for any PROJECT work already completed. 2.4 Cost Savings. In the event that bids or proposals for the PROJECT are lower than anticipated, or there are cost savings for any other reason, the FUNDING AMOUNT shall be reduced through an amendment to the AGREEMENT mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties. RECIPIENT shall inform RCTC of any cost savings and any cost savings shall be returned to RCTC or may be reprogrammed with written approval by RCTC for other RECIPIENT projects that align with the PROGRAM. No PROGRAM funding may be used for projects not approved by RCTC. If RECIPIENT provides a local match commitment and there are cost savings on the PROJECT, RCTC will still be reimbursed at the matching ratio in effect at the time of PROJECT selection and approval despite such cost savings in accordance with PROGRAM policies. 2.5 No Funding for Temporary Improvements. Only segments or components of the PROJECT that are intended to form part of or be integrated into the PROJECT may be funded by PROGRAM funds. No improvement(s) which is/are temporary in nature, including but not limited to temporary lanes, curbs, or drainage facilities, shall be funded with PROGRAM funds except as needed for staged construction of the PROJECT. 2.6 Review and Reimbursement by RCTC. Upon receipt of the final detailed invoice from the RECIPIENT clearly documenting work completed and corresponding costs, RCTC may request additional documentation or explanation of the SCOPE OF WORK costs for which reimbursement is sought. Undisputed amounts shall be paid by RCTC to the RECIPIENT within thirty (30) days. In the event that RCTC disputes the eligibility of the RECIPIENT for reimbursement of all or a portion of an invoiced amount, the Parties shall meet and confer in an attempt to resolve the dispute. Additional details concerning the procedure for the RECIPIENT’s submittal of invoices to RCTC and RCTC’s consideration and payment of submitted invoices are set forth in Attachment 4. 2.7 Recipient’s Funding Obligation to Complete the Work. In the event that the PROGRAM funds allocated to the SCOPE OF WORK represent less than the total cost of the PROJECT, RECIPIENT shall be solely responsible for providing such additional funds as may be required to complete the PROJECT. RCTC has no obligation with respect to the safety of any SCOPE OF WORK performed at a PROJECT site. Further, RCTC shall not be liable for any action of RECIPIENT or its contractors relating to the condemnation of property undertaken by RECIPIENT or construction related to the PROJECT. 2.8 Recipient’s Obligation to Repay Program Funds to RCTC. In the event it is determined, whether through a post-completion audit or otherwise, the PROJECT was not 81 17336.00005\32744357.1 4 completed in accordance with the PROGRAM requirements or this AGREEMENT, RECIPIENT agrees that any PROGRAM funds distributed to RECIPIENT for the PROJECT shall be repaid in full to RCTC. The Parties shall enter into good faith negotiations to establish a reasonable repayment schedule and repayment mechanism which may include, but is not limited to, withholding of Measure A Local Streets and Roads revenues, if applicable. RECIPIENT acknowledges and agrees that RCTC shall have the right to withhold any Measure A Local Streets and Roads revenues due to RECIPIENT, in an amount not to exceed the total of the PROGRAM funds distributed to RECIPIENT, and/or initiate legal action to compel repayment, if the RECIPIENT fails to repay RCTC within a reasonable time period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, including any good faith negotiations, from receipt of written notification from RCTC that repayment is required due to failure to comply with the PROGRAM policies or this AGREEMENT. 2.9 Records Retention and Audits. RECIPIENT shall retain all PROJECT records in an organized manner for a minimum of three (3) years following completion of the PROJECT. PROJECT records shall be made available for inspection by RCTC upon request. If a post PROJECT audit or review indicates that RCTC has provided reimbursement to the RECIPIENT in an amount in excess of the maximum PROGRAM provided for in this Section 2, or has provided reimbursement of ineligible PROJECT costs, the RECIPIENT shall reimburse RCTC for the excess or ineligible payments within thirty (30) days of notification by RCTC. This Section 2.9 does not supersede any rights or remedies provided to RCTC under Section 2.8 or applicable law. 3.Recipient’s Local Match Contribution. RECIPIENT shall provide at least Ninety Seven Thousand Seven Hundred Dollars ($97,700) of funding toward the SCOPE OF WORK, as indicated in RECIPIENT’S application attached as Attachment 1 and submitted to RCTC in response to its CALL FOR PROJECTS. RECIPIENT costs related to (i) preparation and administration costs related to invoices, billings and payments; (ii) any RECIPIENT fees attributed to the processing of the SCOPE OF WORK; and (iii) expenses for items not included within the attached SCOPE OF WORK shall be borne solely by the RECIPIENT and shall not qualify towards RECIPIENT’s local match requirement in this Section 3. 4.Term: The term of this AGREEMENT shall be from the date first herein above written until: (i) the date RCTC formally accepts the PROJECT as complete, pursuant to Section 2.2; (ii) termination of this AGREEMENT pursuant to Section 14; or (iii) RECIPIENT has fully satisfied its obligations under this AGREEMENT.

For projects completed under the allocated amount, the agency will be reimbursed at the matching ratio in effect at the time of project selection and approval. 6.The Commission expects all projects to be ready for construction; therefore, an agency will have twenty-four (24) months from the time of the allocation to complete the project. There will be no time extensions granted unless the reason for the delay is due to unforeseen circumstances. Where substantial progress or a compelling reason for delay can be shown, the agency may be granted administrative extensions in twelve-month increments at the discretion of the Executive Director. 7.Any programmed and unused Article 3 Program funds will be forfeited unless that agency can a) utilize the unused funds to complete projects that are the same or similar in scope and/or are contiguous to the approved project or b) apply the funds to a project previously submitted under an Article 3 call for projects and approved by the Commission, subject to Executive Director approval. 8.Design and construction of facilities must conform to the general design criteria for non- motorized facilities as outlined in the Caltrans Highway Design Manual. 9.Temporary facilities, projects in the bid process, or projects that are under construction will not be funded. 10.The SB 821 evaluation committee will be comprised of a minimum of five evaluators representing a wide range of interests; such as: accessibility, bicycling, Coachella Valley, public transit, and the region. Staff, consultants, and other representatives from agencies submitting project proposals will not be eligible to participate on the evaluation committee that year. 11.Following each call, staff will monitor the equity of allocations to Coachella Valley versus Western Riverside County; the allocation should be relative to what the Coachella Valley’s share would have been if distributed on a per capita basis (the percentage of funds applied for should also be taken into consideration). If the allocation is often found to be inequitable to the Coachella Valley, staff will recommend adoption of a new policy to correct the imbalance. 12.Certain costs at times associated with bicycle/pedestrian projects are not eligible when the benefit provided is not the exclusive use of bicyclists/pedestrians, such as: curb and gutter as part of roadway drainage system, driveway ramps installed across sidewalks, and where roadway design standards require a roadway shoulder width that is at least as wide as a standard bike lane. 106 17336.00005\32744357.1 Attachment 3 ATTACHMENT 3 (SCOPE OF WORK) SCOPE OF WORK: The proposed improvements are located in two separate areas along the Washington Street Corridor.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • The project is a continuation of last fiscal year’s Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Ramp Improvements Project on Avenida Bermudas.  This project is located on Avenida Bermudas between Main Street and Calle Cadiz in Old Town (Attachment 1).  The ADA miscellaneous improvements will include reconstructing curb ramps, sidewalk, and pavement to bring them up to current code. • Construction is funded with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, which must be expended by the end of May 2020. • Granite Construction Company of Indio, California, submitted the lowest responsive bid at $192,291 (Attachment 2). The base bid of $175,771 is recommended for approval. FISCAL IMPACT The amended projected budget is $228,673, of which $54,806 is allocated from the Citywide Sidewalk Improvements Project (Project No. 1920STI) and $173,867 (an increase of $48,673) from CDBG funds for construction costs as follows: CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 6 111 CDBG ADA Improvements Total Budget Professional/Design: $ 0 $ 23,000 $ 23,000 Inspection/Testing/Survey: $ 0 $ 12,902 $ 12,902 Construction: $ 173,867 $ 1,904 $ 175,771 Contingency: $ 0 $ 17,000 $ 17,000 Total Budget: $ 173,867 $ 54,806 $ 228,673 BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS In 2011, the City conducted an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility survey of all public facilities. To date, the City has addressed ADA deficiencies at the Exterior and Interior of City Hall, La Quinta Park, Civic Center Campus, La Quinta Library, SilverRock parking lot, Museum, YMCA, Sports Complex, Velasco Park, Eisenhower Park, Adams Park, Desert Pride Park, Saguaro Park, Fritz Burns Park, Seasons Park, and the Southern Limits of Avenida Bermudas. Avenida Bermudas ADA Miscellaneous Improvements will be located near the following locations within the Public Right of Way on Avenida Bermudas:  Pedestrian Refuges (Curb Ramps and Truncated Domes)  Avenida Montezuma (Curb Ramps)  Post Office (Curb Ramps and Sidewalk)  Alleys north and south of Calle Estado (Curb Ramps and Pavement Rehabilitation in cross-walk) This project was originally opened on Wednesday, January 29, 2020, with no bidders. Staff reached out to all potential firms that could perform the work and the general consensus was that they were unable to fit this project into their schedules. The project was sent back out to bid with the working days extended and the City received two (2) bids. The bids came in higher than the engineer’s estimate. This was attributed to a general trend of higher bid prices for smaller scaled projects. Staff contacted the County CDBG Coordinator who authorized additional funds in the amount of $48,673 to cover the budget shortfall. This authorization will not affect the City’s future allocation; due in part to the City’s great performance history of processing CDBG funding. If approved, the project budget shall be amended to add the additional CDBG funding ($48,673). Contingent upon award of the project on March 17, 2020, the following is the project schedule: Council Considers Project Award March 17, 2020 Execute Contract and Mobilize March 18 to April 13, 2020 Construction (30 Working Days) April 14 to May 8, 2020 Accept Improvements May 2020 112 ALTERNATIVES Staff does not recommend an alternative due to the funding timing constraints.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY •On August 6, 2019, a contract was awarded to Urban Habitat for the construction of the La Quinta SilverRock Park Venue Project (Project) (Attachment 1) and construction began in September 2019. •Due to the project’s complexity and construction workload, a construction management and inspection services firm was retained to supplement staff capabilities. •After a formal request for proposals process, Z&K Consultants Building Solutions was selected as the most qualified firm. •Additional construction management services are needed to complete the project due to scope changes. FISCAL IMPACT Additional time and materials cost are not to exceed $25,000, for a total contract cost not to exceed $125,000; funds are available in the SilverRock Park Venue Capital Improvement Program budget (Project 2016-08). BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS Due to the complexity and construction duration, a construction management company is best suited to provide management and inspection services to complete this project. After a formal request for proposals in September 2019, Z&K Consultants Building Solutions was selected as the most qualified firm. CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 7 119 The project was scheduled to be completed by April 9, 2020, however, due to unforeseen issues such as storm damage, utilities, and a required labor union agreement, the project will take additional time to complete and construction management services are needed through completion of the project.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY •The report summarizes the City’s year-to-date (YTD) revenues and period expenditures for December 2019 (Attachment 1). •These reports are also reviewed by the Finance Advisory Commission. FISCAL IMPACT – None BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS Below is a summary of the column headers used on the Revenue and Expenditure Summary Reports: Original Total Budget – represents revenue and expenditure budgets the Council adopted in June 2019 for fiscal year 2019/20. Current Total Budget – represents original adopted budgets plus any Council approved budget amendments from throughout the year. Period Activity – represents actual revenues received and expenditures outlaid in the reporting month. Fiscal Activity – represents actual revenues received and expenditures outlaid YTD. Variance Favorable/(Unfavorable) - represents the dollar difference between YTD collections/expenditures and the current budgeted amount. Percent Used – represents the percentage activity as compared to budget YTD. CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 8 125 The revenue report includes revenues and transfers into funds from other funds (income items). Revenues are not received uniformly throughout the year, resulting in peaks and valleys. For example, large property tax payments are usually received in December and May. Similarly, Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund payments are typically received in January and June. Any timing imbalance of revenue receipts versus expenditures is funded from the City’s cash flow reserve. The expenditure report includes expenditures and transfers out to other funds. Unlike revenues, expenditures are more likely to be consistent from month to month. However, large debt service payments or CIP expenditures can cause swings.

(Alan’s All Animal Rescue Foundation) Turkey Trot Significant Contributions: As the founder of A.A.A.R.F. (Alan’s All Animal Rescue Foundation), Alan has saved the lives of countless animals by reuniting lost pets with their owners and finding homes for cats and dogs in danger of being euthanized. He is especially well-known among the residents of The Cove neighborhood for going above and beyond to spearhead animal rescue efforts and even putting his own life at risk by climbing steep mountainsides in order to rescue trapped dogs. Alan safely traps feral cats and takes them to the local veterinarian to get spade/neutered, thus significantly reducing the stray cat population. For the past two years, Alan has overseen an animal food program and has delivered 95 meals a day to dogs in need. For the past 20 years, Alan has organized the annual Turkey Trot. This 5k run/walk is a fun activity for families and a portion of the proceeds go to scholarship programs and local no-kill animal shelters. ATTACHMENT 1 147 148 ATTACHMENT 2149ATTACHMENT 2 150 Pillars of the Community Nomination Form- Alan Woodruff How has the candidate contributed significantly to the community of La Quinta? Alan is most notable in the community for spearheading efforts to locate lost pets in The Cove. If a dog goes missing, you can bet that Alan is the first one out on the streets trying to locate that dog and return it to its rightful owner. Alan drives around the city for hours looking for lost pets and coordinates volunteer groups to find animals in an efficient and timely manner. He works with no-kill shelters to find animals who are in danger of being; euthanized safe and loving homes, sometimes finding homes for three different dogs in one day! As the founder of A.A.R.F. (Alan’s All Animal Rescue Foundation), Alan has spade/neutered over 50 cats, paying for this procedure out of his own pocket. His efforts have helped lower the stray animal population in The Cove. Alan has been known to stay up until 3:00am, tracking and trapping feral cats. Once captured, Alan transports them to the local veterinarian to get fixed, thus saving the lives of kittens who would be born without a home and would be exposed to this world clinging to life, braving the elements. For the past two years, Alan has provided about 95 meals a day to animals in need. Not only does he give his time and money to ensure these poor animals get fed, but he also gives his love. Love for all animals including but not limited to birds, squirrels, chipmunks, and reptiles. In addition to his animal rescuing efforts, for the past 20 years, Alan has organized the Turkey Trot. This 5k run/walk is a fun activity for families and a portion of the proceeds go to scholarship programs and local no-kill animal shelters. How has the candidate been recognized for their efforts on a local, state, national, or international level? Alan has been recognized on a local level by the residents of The Cove who have taken notice to his hard work as an animal rescuer. If any pet goes missing, everyone knows that Alan is the first person to call because he will dedicate his time to locating that pet and stop at nothing to reunite it with its family. Is there any additional information about the candidate that should be considered? (Optional) Alan is a great person. He has a big heart and goes out of his way for animals as well as humans. Recently a dog was trapped on one of the mountains in The Cove. Alan quickly organized a search party, and once the animal was located, he formed a human chain with other volunteers to safely bring that dog from the mountain. I’ll never forget the look on Alan’s face after rescuing that dog, but more importantly, I’ll never forget the look on the dog’s face as he ran up to his owner, tail wagging, tongue sticking out, with a whole new appreciation for life. 151 152 City of La Quinta CITY COUNCIL MEETING: March 17, 2020 STAFF REPORT AGENDA TITLE: FIND AND DETERMINE THERE IS NEED TO PLACE AN ITEM ON THE AGENDA FOR ACTION BY THE CITY COUNCIL BECAUSE AN EMERGENCY EXISTS DUE TO NOVEL CORONAVIRUS DISEASE (COVID-19); AND ADOPT RESOLUTION TO PROCLAIM LOCAL EMERGENCY FOR THE CITY RECOMMENDATION A.

FISCAL IMPACT – None. PUBLIC HEARING ITEM NO. 1 155 BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS Council has adopted periodic Code amendments since 2016 to streamline the development review process and clarify development standards. This year, Staff has identified additional amendments to further streamline and clarify development standards (Attachment 1). Title 8 (Buildings and Construction), Title 9 (Zoning), and Title 13 (Subdivision Regulations) are proposed for modification. Study sessions were held with PC and Council in October and November 2019, respectively, to consider specific code amendments that require in-depth discussion. Items discussed included: - Remove 20,000 square foot (sf) minimum lot size in southeast area of City; - Modify flagpole standards; - Remove Specific Plan requirement for 10-acre properties in Regional Commercial (CR) district; - Provide flexibility on garage standards for nonconforming homes. PC and Council expressed support of the Code amendments and provided comments that Staff researched and incorporated into the proposed final amendments, which are listed in tracked-changes format of Exhibit A to the ordinance. The matrix of proposed amendments (Attachment 1) summarizes each amendment with its corresponding page number, with the exception of proposed amendments that address Code inconsistencies or clarifications. The amendments are summarized below. Title 8 Buildings and Construction Section 8.13.030, Provisions for New or Rehabilitated Landscapes, is proposed to be revised to update the requirements for landscape review to remain compliant with the Coachella Valley Water District ordinance regarding water efficient landscaping. Title 9 Zoning Proposed changes to Title 9 include corrections of code inconsistencies, add inadvertently deleted sections, and ensure language consistency throughout the Code, in addition to streamlining. Changes include the following: • Remove requirement in Section 9.50.030 that requires 20,000 sf minimum lot sizes for subdivisions of 10 acres or less in Low Density Residential (RL) zones south of Avenue 52 and west of Monroe Street. Developments in this area would still be subject to development standards of the underlying zone, including standards for density and equestrian uses. • Revise Section 9.60.340 to allow flagpoles to be installed in any yard that does not abut a residential lot. 156 • Remove specific plan requirement for developments greater than ten (10) acres in the CR district. • Revise Section 9.270.030 to create a threshold where a two-car garage requirement is only necessary if applicants propose an addition that exceeds 50% of living area sf. For additions 50% or less, off-street parking could be satisfied by other means (e.g., driveway or carport). This would only be applicable to the Cove Residential district. • Revise multiple sections in the Code regarding daycare regulations, in compliance with California Senate Bill 234, which prohibits cities from requiring use permits for daycares and from not allowing them in certain residential areas. • Add standard to Section 9.60.060 for size of garages in single family homes to not exceed 50% of livable area of home. • Revise Nonresidential Table of Permitted Uses to provide more flexibility on allowing indoor and outdoor commercial recreation uses. “Commercial recreation” means any use or activity where the primary intent is to provide amusement, pleasure or sport but which is operated for financial gain. This amendment proposes changing the table to establish indoor and outdoor commercial recreation being allowed in commercial districts with approval of a minor use permit, to capture a broad range of commercial recreation. • Establish that new parking lots requiring a site development permit be Director-level approval. Title 13 Subdivision Regulations Proposed changes to Title 13 include clarified language on approval authority for tentative maps and lot line adjustments. AGENCY AND PUBLIC REVIEW Public Notice Notice of public hearing was advertised in The Desert Sun newspaper on March 7, 2020. To date, no comments have been received; and comments from other City Departments were considered. Planning Commission Review At its regular meeting of January 14, 2020, the PC adopted Planning Commission Resolution 2020-002 recommending Council approval of the Code proposed amendments. Environmental Review The Design and Development Department has determined that the proposed Code amendments are exempt from environmental review under CEQA, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), Review for Exemptions – Common Sense Rule, in that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility for this 157 action to have a significant effect on the environment, and individual development plans will be reviewed under CEQA as they are proposed. ALTERNATIVES Council could recommend additional amendments or not modify the existing standards.

Minimum lot frontage for flag lots shall be 15 feet. 2 Not including basements. Also, notwithstanding above table, the maximum structure height equals 22 feet for all buildings within 150 feet of any general plan-designated image corridor, except in the RC zone, which is 17 feet. 3 For non-garage portions of dwelling only. Also, projects with 5 or more adjacent single-family dwelling units facing the same street shall incorporate front setbacks varying between 20 feet and 25 feet or more in order to avoid streetscape monotony. 4 For all but RVL district, minimum garage setback shall be 20 feet if “roll-up” type garage door is used. Also, for side-entry type garages, the garage setback may be reduced to 20 feet in the RVL district and 15 feet in all other residential districts. 5 The following are exceptions to the minimum side setbacks shown: For interior side yards in the RL, RM and RMH districts, if the building is over 17 feet in height, the setback is 5 feet plus 1 foot for every foot over 17 feet in height or fraction thereof, to a maximum setback of 10 feet. The additional setback may be provided entirely at grade level or a combination of at grade and airspace above the 17-foot building. For RH, 5 feet minimum plus 1 foot additional setback for every foot of building height above 28 feet, or fraction thereof, up to a maximum setback of 15 feet when said height above 17 feet is located between 5 and 10 feet from said side yard property line. For interior setbacks, if the building is over 28 feet in height the setback is 10 feet plus 1 foot for every foot over 28 feet in height or fraction thereof, to a maximum setback of 15 feet. The additional setback may be provided entirely at grade level or may be a combination of at grade and airspace above the 28-foot building height. 6 Common open area and perimeter landscape requirements do not apply to single-family detached projects unless a specific plan is required. Common open area equals percent of net project area. Perimeter landscape setbacks are adjacent to perimeter streets: first number equals minimum at any point; second number equals minimum average over entire frontage (thus, 10/20). See Section 9.60.240230 and additional landscape/open area standards. 7 Rear and side yard setbacks for residential units abutting the image corridor shall be a minimum of 25 feet with the exception of RVL zone district where it only applies to the side yard. 8 Existing recorded lots prior to May 1, 1997.

For purposes of this section, “fence” or “wall” means any type of fence, wall, retaining wall, sound attenuation wall, screen or windscreen. The terms “fence” and “wall” are used interchangeably in this section to mean any or all of the preceding structures. B. Measurement of Fence Height. Except as otherwise specified in this section, fence heights shall be measured from finish grade at the base of the fence to the highest point of the fence on the interior or exterior side, whichever is higher. In addition, the following provisions shall apply to the measurement of fence height: 1. Open railings, up to forty-eight inches high, placed on top of a retaining or other wall and required for pedestrian safety shall not be included in the height measurement. 2. Fences less than thirty inches apart (measured between adjoining faces) shall be considered one structure and fence height shall be measured from the base of the lower fence to the top of the higher fence. Fences thirty inches or more apart shall be considered separate structures and their heights shall be measured independently. The director may require that the area between such fences be provided with permanent landscaping and irrigation. C. Fence Heights. The construction and installation of fences shall be in compliance with the following standards: 1. Within Main Building Area. In the area of a lot where a main building may be constructed, the maximum freestanding fence height shall be twelve feet. 2. Setback Areas Not Bordering Streets. The maximum fence height shall be six feet within any required setback area not adjoining a street. Where the elevation of an adjoining building site is higher than the base of the fence within a side or rear setback area, the height of the fence may be measured from the elevation of the adjoining EXHIBIT A 26188 building site to the top of the fence. However, fence height shall not exceed eight feet measured from either side with the exception of the RC district (see Section 9.30.040). 3. Setback Areas Bordering Streets, Alleys and Other Accessway. a. Within all districts, the maximum fence height shall be six feet within any front, rear or side setback area adjoining a public street. b. Notwithstanding other fence height restrictions, where, because of the orientation of the lots, a property line fence separates a front yard on one lot from a rear yard on an adjacent lot, the maximum fence height shall be six feet. c. Arches or trellises up to nine feet in overall height and five feet interior width may be constructed over a gate on a lot provided the arch/trellis is integrated into the fence/gate design. The director may refer arch designs exceeding the standard to the planning commission for approval. d. Any portion of a building site where vehicular access is taken shall conform to the access intersection requirements of subsection (C)(4) of this section. e. City- or state-required sound attenuation walls bordering freeways or arterial highways may exceed six feet in height if so recommended by a noise attenuation study and approved by the director. 4.

CITY BOARD AND COMMISSION MEMBERS TERM LIMITS In 2013 Council adopted Ordinance 516 imposing term limits of “two consecutive three-year terms, or a total of six consecutive years, on a specific board or commission” to members serving on City boards and commissions. The City’s current boards and commissions are: Planning Commission Financial Advisory Commission Community Services Commission Housing Commission Construction Board of Appeals (CBA) The CBA is tasked with conducting hearings to afford appellants an opportunity to present evidence on their behalf in an effort to reverse or amend an administrative decision of a city official related to any matter within the purview of Title 8 – Buildings and Construction of the La Quinta Municipal Code. Due to the unique nature of its responsibility, the CBA meets only when an appeal is filed, which does not occur often; since 1996, the CBA has convened only four times. The CBA is comprised of five members who must qualify for the following professional positions based on their experience and qualifications: One general contractor; Two registered professional engineers or architects; One specialty contractor; One member of the public who is not one of the foregoing. DEPARTMENTAL REPORT ITEM NO. 3 239 The CBA’s members have been long standing and are as follows:  Bob Edwards (general contractor); serving since 2007  Kevin Leonhard (architect); serving since 1997  Kay Wolff (member of the public); serving since 2007  Joseph Venute (structural engineer); serving since 2013  Rick Morris (specialty contractor); serving since 2017 Due to the infrequency of meetings and specific qualification requirements, the pool of potential applicants is limited, and historically, the City has experienced a lack of applications from residents to serve on the CBA. Council may elect to adopt a resolution to remove the term restrictions applicable to the CBA membership only, which would allow the current members to continue to serve. Staff seeks Council’s direction on this matter. 2.

The tennis tournament had a big impacted on the shopping center because we are only 2 blocks away. Restaurants had stocked up anticipating more business. I have had several calls from businesses about what is going to happen in the next few weeks and if we have some kind of plan in place. I have explained to them that the CDC is kind of calling the shots. I am waiting to see what the City is going to do. I want to make sure we are following all guidelines you are putting on the City. We are be happy to support the City in anyway we can to get through this situation. CITY COUNTIL MEETING - MARCH 17, 2020 - WRITTEN COMMENTS BY ONE ELEVEN LA QUINTA SHOPPING CENTER STUDY SESSION ITEM NO. 1 - CITY OPERATIONS DURING CORONAVIRUS 2 The smaller restaurants where people can't be spaced 6 feet apart might do just take out and close the dining room. Maybe they could take orders and then have the customer go out to their car and they can delivery the food to the car, that way people aren't standing around inside waiting. If you know of any programs the Government is implementing to help out businesses and could pass that along the would be awesome. I will see that the businesses get this information. Thanks again for all your help and support you give us.

What follows is an e-mail you can share with the City Council during your Wednesday meeting on city government collaboration with local business: To: City Council From: Mark Babij, Co-Owner of Desert Insurance Solutions Hi City Council people! I'm writing in response to Friday's Desert Sun article in which you request input on collaboration between government and business at this time of uncertainty. I have three general thoughts to share: First, think thrive, not just survive. Tourist anxiety related to the corona episode will linger long after the virus has passed. Attitudes and behaviors around hygiene and social distancing will have changed. LQ will continue to compete with other tourism options and should recognize our natural competitive advantages: Most people can drive here in the safety of their car rather than flying. Once here, visitors have the option of renting private homes rather than staying in busy hotels We specialize in fun activities that are "socially distant": hiking, biking, golf, tennis, hanging out at the pool. Obviously we can't advertise LQ as a low risk vacation zone, but it could be helpful if we at least develop some awareness around it.  Second, accept that we need development and homeowners near development sites are always going to whine about something. That spot at 50th and Jefferson? We might like to have our office there, but aren't holding our breath. And the surf park? That site is so far out it seems ideal for development...but we see homeowners gearing up against it already. We need to balance minor inconveniences with what's good for the City and have a bias for action rather than delaying for decades.   And third, we need the City to think "LQ Business Solutions" rather than "LQ Rules Compliance". In the example above, if short term vacation rentals are the key to making tourists feel safe, maybe we need to be more flexible regarding short term vacation rentals.  Here's another example. We rent at the corner of Ave 52 and Desert Club. We spoke with the owner of the vacant building next door. We had an idea to buy it, move in to the lower floor, and build out a condo unit on the second floor. My wife Carrie reached out to Robert Radi who put her in contact with Cheri Flores. Carrie had an e-mail exchange in which Cheri explained that the rules require we build a minimum of two condos up there. Obviously that doesn't work for us so Cheri said she would check with the City Manager on the possibility of an exception. Cheri never e-mailed back, so we assumed the answer was no. The owner then CITY COUNCIL MEETING - MARCH 17, 2020 - WRITTEN COMMENTS BY RESIDENT MARK BABIJ STUDY SESSION ITEM NO. 1 - CITY OPERATIONS DURING CORONAVIRUS 2 publicly listed the building, the opportunity passed so now when our lease is up in Jan 2021 we'll be looking at options possibly out of LQ.  Maybe there's some social engineering rationale to having a minimum of two residential units in a mixed use building, I don't know. But when you try to use these rules to encourage one type of behavior it may not work and may result in the unintended consequence of discouraging creative use of space that could be beneficial. What you wanted was an office with two or more residential units and what you now have is a vacant building with some broken windows.  Finally, the city government organization appears to be set up for internal efficiency, but is not really friendly to those that don't know the inner workings. We had this idea and it was so difficult to even figure out if it was okay that we finally concluded it would be too much to take on...not necessarily financially, but with the city bureaucracy. What we needed was some sort of Project Ambassador who would take ownership for helping us get some answers and navigate the City system of rules. Instead, maybe because our idea was just a little different, we got the feeling everybody just wanted us to go away. That's what they got.  Thanks for listening. In general we like LQ and are providing this feedback in the spirit of continuous improvement. Good luck.  CITY COUNCIL MEETING - MARCH 17, 2020 - WRITTEN COMMENTS BY RESIDENT MARK BABIJ STUDY SESSION ITEM NO. 1 - CITY OPERATIONS DURING CORONAVIRUS 1 Monika Radeva From:Serko Khatchadourian < Sent:Tuesday, March 17, 2020 1:06 PM To:Monika Radeva Cc:serko@quadrantinc.net; Wanda Wise-Latta; Cheri Flores Subject:Re: La Quinta City Council Meeting: Public Hearing No. 1 regarding Zoning Ordinance Amendment 2019-0002 Attachments:Lot Dimensions under current zoning-.jpg ** EXTERNAL: This message originated outside of the City of La Quinta. Please use proper judgement and caution when opening  attachments, clicking links or responding to requests for information. **  Hello Monika, Thank you for the update. I will not attend the meeting today, below and attached please find what I would like to be stated at the hearing: Dear members of the City Council: I would like to speak in favor of the Ordinance amending sections 8, 9 and 13 of the La Quinta Municipal Code to streamline the development process and standards. In particular I would like to emphasize the importance of the removal of the 20,000 sf minimum lot size in the southeast area of the City. Under the current zoning, when a property is subdivided with the prescribed minimum lot width of 60 feet, the lengths of the resulting lots end up being 333 feet long (please see the attached drawing). These are very unreasonable proportions and the current zoning is causing undue hardship on the property owners. I urge you to adopt the Ordinance and remove the 20,000 sf minimum lot size, along with its other proposed amendments. Thank you, Serko Khatchadourian Owner of property on Avenue 60, west of Madison St. Please make sure that the attached drawing is shown. Thank you Serko Khatchadourian Quadrant, Inc.
