Box 1504 La Quinta, C*. 92253 Subject: City of La Ouinta Sphere of Influence Dear Mr. Usher: By letter dated may 25, 1984 we advised you that a number of property owners would like to have La *Quinta's Sphere of Influence extended east- erly to Highway 86 and southerly to *venue 65 as shoun by the map attached to the aforementioned letter. By that same letter we advised you that we were in the process of determing property owner interest thru an informational mailing. We requested those property owners in support of the proposed Sphere of Influence to complete petitions we furnished them and filed them with the City of La Ouinta. Based on the interest shown thus far, we hereby request the City of La Ouinta to initiate proceedings for the proposed Sphere of Influence. *lthough the proposed Sphere of Influence contains about 25,000 acres 39 sections), about 18,000 acres are in private ownership gross area includ- ing streets). *ssuming the street accupy about 10% of the private owner- ship and recognizing that about 2,000 acres of private ownership are in mountainous terrain, the net developable area of the proposed Sphere is about 14,000 acres. We believe the initial response to the petition drive, which began about 3 weeks ago, is significant and warrants initiation of the Sphere of Influence process. We understand that about 100 petitions have been filed with the City and that these petitions represent about 3,000 acres of private ownership. In addition, we understand that these petitions are continuing to be filed and based on the response during the past 3 weeks, we expect that adequate support for the proposed Sphere will be demonstrated within the next 3 weeks. If you have any questions about our request, I will respond to them promptly.

It is presumed that the term of office *ould be for two years. Those to whom I spoke would like the La Quinta City Council to take the prper initiative to make this change possible. I think this change is favored about 5 to 1 by local residents. If action is not taken then a petition will be circulated. There are currently 2,682 registered voters in La Quinta. Fifteen per cent 15%) or *03 signatures are required to place the petition on the November ballot, or on a special election" ballot. Perhaps the City Council would prefer to act immediately. By so doing, they could save the City the cost of $l.14o per voter or $3,75*.OC, the cost for the special election. Your consideration of this proposed change is appreci*ted.

Box lO* L9a22*u3inta, Ca. La *uinta City Council P.O. Box l*4 La Quinta, Ca. 922*3 Honorable Mayor and Council *`*mbers: I appeal to the City Council to give added attention to the details of the projected weed abatement program. It may not be understood by all that the growth on the bajada in the Cove area of La Quinta protects us from both blow sand and flooding from sur*ace water runoff during severe weather. The brush also, not incidentally, provides cover and nesting for our roadrunners and Gambells quail. I request that when the Staff corrmunicates with the owners of undeveloped lots, at least in the Cove area, regarding removal of debris from their property, that they be asked not to remove indigo, cat's claw acacia, brittle bush, cheese bush or chupe- rosa* no* smoke trees and Palo Verde. The letter might also warn that the summer months are not safe for working in the brush because of danger from intense ground temperatures and snakes. It is to be hoped that bulldozing will not be permit- ted in connection with this project). While unimpeded surface runoff would impact most heavily on property at lower elevation, we all know the nuisance that blow sand causes when the land is denuded and the delicate crust of the desert is disturbed. In any event, perYraps it is more im- portant that the City attend to the growth at street corners that impairs drivers' vision. I respectfully urge your consideration of my request. Sincerely, MRS. ALFRED)PATRICIA REILLY BIB] 09-28-1997-U01 01:33:22PM-U01 ADMIN-U01 CC-U02 07-U02 03-U02 1984-U02 #/L% T. A. Tadros P. 0. Box 1024 Palm Desert, CA 92261 June 26, 1984 City of La Quinta 78-105 Calle Estado P. 0. Box 1504 La Quinta, CA 92253 Attention: Mr. Larry Allen Dear Mr. Alien: The purpose of this letter is to protest in the strongest terms the issuance of a building permit for the construction of a block wall which is under construction on Lot 4 of Block 6 of Desert Club Tract Unit No.1 769-105-004). This lot, which is on Calle Fortuna 4 lots east of Desert Club Drive, has historically carried the drainage of flood waters coming down Calle Cadiz from the west and Desert Club Drive from the south. The block wall which is under construction at this time along west and south property lines of Lot 4 will impede and dam the natural flow of waters from the areas upstream and may cause additional flood hazard to nearby properties, including mine, and concentrate run-off on downstream properties which do not now receive the run-off in question. Upon calling the Building Department, I was told that a permit had been issued for a block wall but not for a residence. Plans for the residence, which would presumably include the necessary site engineering, were going to be submitted at a later date. I feel that the wall permit was issued prematurely in advance of the materials required to accompany the site and drainage plan for the residence. I also assume that adequate provision to receive and dispose of the flood waters in question in a reasonable and safe manner necessary to the protection of the potentially affected surronding property will be addressed prior to the issuance of a permit for the residence will be required of the applicant. Last Thursday, June 21st., I brought the matter to the attention of the City Manager and the Building Department. They investigated the matter on the site and acknowledged that I did infact have a problem. I was assured that the construction would not proceed until a solution to the drainage had been found. I left town feeling safe in that assurance only to return home Tuesday the 26th to discover that construction of the wall had in fact proceeded and that my drainage is blocked by that portion of the wall already in place. BIB] 09-28-1997-U01 01:33:22PM-U01 ADMIN-U01 CC-U02 07-U02 03-U02 1984-U02 I stongly urge the City to review the drainage provisions of the block wall under construction and to rescind the permit in question until the safety of the surronding properties from added flood hazard can be assured. I further request that the work now completed be immediately removed or altered as to remove any threat of contributing to the flooding of my property. I will hold the property owner, the city of La Quinta, and the individuals in the city who acted improperly in granting this permit and allowing this construction, personally and severally liable for any damage which may result to my home as the result of this action. I also wish to register my unhappiness with the rude and unkind manner in which some members of your staff have chosen to respond to my reqest for aid in this manner. Ve*/ truly yours, ft:A.

Approval of this zone change request and the ultimate development of the site with to 1 acre h*sites will result in a decrease in agricultural land in production. H*ever, the Applicant has stated that, as with the adjacent proposed hotel site, a substantial majority of the existing orchard will be retained and r*nain in production. Review of future land division or development plans will include consideration of the design with respect to the preservation and protection of the trees.

On June 12, 1984, the Planning C*uiission considered an appeal by the Pendleys on the mechanical equipment location and unan*' sly denied the appeal pursuant to the Staff Memorandum dated June 12. Major points discussed by the Planning Ccocission on this matter included: o Inadeguacy of pr*sed parapets in screening equipment. o **willingness of Applicant to raise parapets of flat-roofed structure to adequately screen equipment. o **ftance of adequate screening to the goals of architectural review of single-farrLily dwellings. o *isteece of other roof-itounted mech*nical equipment in the Cove area. o Alternate locations available for the' Applicant's r**ianical equipeent. It was the consensus of the Planning ccooission that the proposed screening methods offered by the Applicant were inadeuuate given the architectural considera- tions of the flat-roofed design. Thurston Pendley, Applicant, appeared in support of the prpposed ir*thods to screen roof-it*unted equipeent.

Usher, City Manager Date: June 29, 1984 Subject: Investment of City Funds Presently the authorized depositories for City funds are the California Local Agency Investment Fund and Security Pacific National Bank. The accompanying resolutions would also establish Palm Springs Savings Bank, Downey Savings & Loan Association and Fidelity Federal Savings & Loan as authorized depositories of City funds. Earlier in the year the interest rate from L.A.I.F. was 12.159% and bank and S & L rates were lower, which was typical for a falling interest rate period. Currently, the LAIF rate is 10.843%, with higher rates at banks and S & L's. This is typical of a period of rising interest rates. Of course, liquidity remains higher at LAIF. As I have indicated, I intend to invest $400,000, approximately one-third of our cash balance in certificates of deposit. $100,000 each will be deposited with Palm Springs Savings Bank, Downey Savings & Loan, Security Pacific National Bank and Fidelity Federal Savings & Loan at respective terms and rates of one year/ 12.5%, 270 days/12.5%, 180 days/11.5%, and 90 days/12.625%. The varying terms will help to insure future cash availability and limiting deposits to $100,000 per institution provides for federal deposit insurance without the necessity for collateralization. Approval of the accompanying resolutions is respectfully recommended.

It is understood and agreed that appropriate homeowners' associations shall pay all above costs of maintenance for said improved common areas until such time as the City Council determines that, by default of the homeowner's association, a need for maintenance work and establishment of a tax rate exists and until such time as tax revenues are received by the district for assess- ment upon the real property". This condition was formulated by myself while acting as City Attorney of Thousand Oaks and had been continuously used by that community as a standard condition. The condition, although establishing a maintenance district prior to final tract map approval, would not be activated until such time as a homeowners' association defaulted in the maint- enance of common areas. The condition provides the City with a quick remedy, through an already formed maintenance district, for stepping in, performing the necessary maintenance, and charging the costs against the benefited homeowners as per any assessment district. T* my knowledge, no such phantom" maintenance district has ever been activated. As a result of my observation of the machinations and resistance to this condition over the past few months, it is my recommendation that it be deleted as a standard condition. BIB] 09-28-1997-U01 01:33:22PM-U01 ADMIN-U01 CC-U02 07-U02 03-U02 1984-U02 Memorandum to City Council Re; Termination of Phantom Maintenance Dist. June 27, 1984 Page Two. It is my observation that this condition has a detrimental effect on the development process in the following two ways: 1) the condition must be reported in the Department of Real Estate Public Subdivision Report. The effect is to raise an issue in the minds of prospective buyers1and their attorneys or other advisors, as to the effect of the condition and what it could mean to the homeowner as far as a future cost of assessment; and 2) the condition raises potential problems with lenders that are unfamiliar with its true intent and purpose which probably includes all lenders in this geographical area). Although the two mentioned problems are by no means insurmountable, they have and will continue to generate a significant amount of City staff time explaining the purpose and ramifications of the condition, not to mention the time and energy expended upon analysis of the condition by prospective homeowners, lenders, and their attorneys and advisors. When I now weigh the benefits versus the detriments of imposing such a condition, the detriment seems to far outweigh the perceived benefit. In as much as it is highly likely that activation of such a phantom maintenance district will never take place, and in as much as the City Council will have other remedies available to it in the event of failure of a homeowners' associa- tion to performance of maintenance on common areas, I am now advising the Council that the imposition of the condition in the first place was a mistake and I recommend that the condition now be deleted. RECOMMENDATION: For the reasons above mentioned, it is recommended that the condi- tion requiring the formation of a phantom maintenance district be hereby deleted as a standard City condition and that such deletion be retroactive to the date of its first imposition PGA West Specific Plan approval); and that all applicants to whose projects the condition has been applied, be notified of the deletion of the condition and be given the opportunity to consent to its deletion as applied to their particular project.

Council may have a particular interest in reviewing Section 2.19.040 setting forth the functions, powers and duties of the Society. Also, please note attached present Code Section 2.06.010, referenced in proposed Section 2.19.010, setting forth the terms and procedures of appointments to the Society. This proposed Ordinance has been reviewed by the City Manager and by Alice Bailes, temporary Chairman of the proposed La Quinta Histori- cal Society. Neither have any particular concern or objection to the proposed terms, with one exception. As you will note in the attached minutes of the June 23rd meeting of the La Quinta Historical 5ocjety", there was concern over the perpetuity of the organization, and the ultimate fate of any donated artifacts and real estate in the event of dissolution of the Society. I have explained to Alice that the City would be the owner of donated artifacts and any final disposi- tion decisions would be made the City Council; that the City is an IRS sanctioned charity" for purposes of tax deductible donations; and that if a donor was concerned about the ultimate disposition of any property donated, he or she could stipulate that, in the event such property was not continually used for historical purposes, the property would revert to the donor. Either Alice, or other members of the temporary Historical Society, may be present at your meeting to discuss this matter further with the City Council.

The data was based on the Jan. 1983 study which was done by the Automobile Club of Southern California. Prior to authorizing the sheriff's department to enforce speed zones with radar, we need to establish the City Council's approval of those speed zones as established by the ACSC. If the City Council wishes to modify or change those speed zones in any manner, then we need to conduct another speed survey. The courts will only prosecute those cases where radar is used if a valid and current speed survey is on file with the courts. To attempt to issue citations in non-approved speed zones constitutes running a speed trap" and is in violation of the California Vehicle Code. This is not wise and hurts the city two ways: it destroys our credibility with the court system, and it damages our relationship with the sheriff's department. The Traffic Safety Committee recommends the following action from the City Council: 1. Adopt the speed survey as it presently exists ACSC study) and authorize staff to re-sign and re-legend those areas accordingly. This will allow court approved use of radar for speed enforcement immediately. 2. Advise staff to conduct another speed survey via ACSC) or contract for a private consulting firm to conduct a separate speed survey at an unknown cost. It would then be up to the City Council to approve the new speed survey which would then have to be certified by the courts. A new speed survey does not guarantee different or popular findings on certain speed zones. It is a scientific study and is based on factual data gathered in the field.

In Administrative Services, the part time bookkeeper position is proposed to be full time, with the title of Account Technician. In Public Safety, a code enforcement officer position is added, specifically to handle weed and nuisance abatement. Also, a clerk-typist position is added, to handle all necessary paperwork from the department. In Community Development, an additional building inspector is added for six months January June), because of the additional building inspection load expected in 1985 and to improve the permit issuance process. The City Engineer position is re-budgeted this year, although I am also proposing that we bring in a consulting engineer/public works director to review our needs and make recommendations regarding permanent staffing. A public information officer is not presently included in the budget, but the position could be useful, and we have the cost figures available for inclusion. Regarding salaries and benefits, it has been our goal to bring the City into a position reasonably equivalent with the other cities of the Coachella valley. Toward that end, it is recommended that the City pay the 7% employees' share of the PERS contribution. This is the standard in the other valley cities. Between March 1983 and March 1984, the consumer price index increased between 3.0 and 3.5%. A 3% cost of living increase is recommended. Several positions are proposed to have range adjustments in order to bring them to levels in the mid-range of similar positions with other valley cities. Other positions are proposed fro range adjustment and/or title change because of increased responsibility. These positions are: Building Inspector, City Attorney, Clerk-Receptionist, Code Enforcement Officer, Community Safety Coordinator, Department Secretary, Director of Administrative Services, Director of Community Development and Street Maintenance Worker. The details of these changes will be described more fully in the subsequent detailed budget description and during the budget review process. Many of these matters should be discussed in executive session.
