Dear Honorable *ers of the Council:
I am writing to bring a most Serious problem to your attention, one that will
only get worse as tilt* passes.
I am a property owner and live in the area immediately adjacent to Point Happy,
south of Highway 111 and west of Washington Street. There are two entrances/exits
from Washington Street to our neighborhood, Singing Palms Drive to the north and
Highland Palms Drive to the south. It is extremely difficult, particularly during
the morning and evening rush hours, to enter or exit onto or across Washington
Street due to the heavy northbound and southbound traffic. Plaza La Quinta, nice
and convenient as it is, only adds to the problem by increasing the traffic flow,
as will planned future developments*r*nts along Washington and other areas in La Quinta.
Sone sort of traffic control device is desperately needed at either Singing Palms
Drive or Highland Palms Drive. Following are two alternatives:
The first, while admittedly ex**sive, is the more preferable the
installation of a trip" signal on Washington at either of the two
streets. This would stop traffic on Washington only when cross traffic
is present. The signal could be installed at the intersection of
Singing Palms/Simon Drive & Washington, which is relatively close to
Highway 111, but it would also slow the traffic from the south before
reaching Highway 111. If Singing palms/Simon Drive is not preferable,
then Highland Palms Drive should be considered.
The second, which is less desirable since it would require traffic on
Washington to stop at all times, would be the installation of a stop
sign at one of the two streets.
Thank you for your attention and our neighborhood greatly appreciates any action
taken by the La Quinta City Council to alleviate our problem. If a petition
signed by property owners in our area is desired, please advise.
I have followed with interest the planned develop:ents for La Quinta and they
sound very exciting. Happy Holidays to all
Pespectfully,
Mrs. Marie E. Reading 1

For City Council Meeting Agenda
During the La Ouinta City Council Meeting of November 20, one of the
council persons said very hostily to me, 11why don't you go down and bother
the city council in Palm Springs, etc., etc.
This incident happened after I had complained about being unable to hear
what was said at the study meeting. Our City Manager repeated what he had
said previously, that this was a study meeting and it was not necessary for
the people in the audience to hear. As this is an open hearing where
representatives of the press as well as concerned citizens are present, I
felt that the City Council was required to be heard.
But all I got was insults and ridicule. Why do the council members not
speak up when one council member is only expressing what appears as a
vendetta, which gives the impression that they are all in agreement?
It seems that the City Council members have not learned anything from the
Joe Conners incident in which the Desert Sun editorialized on the
imnaturity of our city representatives when there is any disagreement.
The past election reflected that Joe Conners was right!
Yesterday, at the study meeting, I was happy to observe that they are now
using the microphones and can be heard.
The issue remains that the Council Members and the City Manager feel they
have a right to intimidate anyone who may disagree with them, and even when
they are proved wrong, they do not have the common courtesy to apologize. I
have asked them and I am asking again for a public apology to me.
When will these elected officials stop repeating their mistakes and using
intimidation as a form of controlling the people of La Quinta? Few people
have the courage and stamina to attend the City Council and study meetings
lately, as is reflected by the small number when very important issues are
being decided which can detrimentally effect the value of their homes.
But as a small entrepreneur I feel that I must continue protecting my hard
earned investments, as is my right as an American citizen. I hope that our
City officials will recognize why they were elected, namely to protect the
rights of all citizens.

P.O. Box 1016
La Quinta, CA 92253
Dear Mr. Wolff:
The seven copies of the material you requested are enclosed.
Each brochure contains background material, references, and a
sample outline on Team Building."
Now that the City of La Quinta is almost three years old, with
two new council members, it is time to build the council into a
team that will work together effectively and efficiently. You
mentioned that the council is composed of individuals committed
to working together in a professional manner to insure that the
City of La Quinta gets the best possible leadership. We would
like to help by sharing our experience and knowledge.
We custom-tailor the workshop to the specific objectives and
backgrounds of the participants. This guarantees that the time
is spent on real issues and not on generalities* We avoid
gimicks'1 and concentrate on results. Spending time and effort
planning the workshop allows the workshop itself to go directly
to the purpose.
Perhaps the best way to proceed is the following:
1. At your December meeting, have the council members check
I
those items on the Team Building Program handout that they feel
are the most important.
2. Have them add objectives they would like to achieve and
also list what they believe are the major concerns of the City of
La Quinta.
3. Decide who else should attend the team building. Have
those individuals add comments and list concerns.
4. Select a date from these possibilities: January 24, 25;
February 13, 14, 15; March 11, 12, 13, 14, 18, 19.
5. Send the material back to me and we will prepare a
proposal for your approval.
Thank you for your interest in the Viability Group. I look
forward to hearing from you soon.

FROM: Fred Wol++
SUBJECT: Fiscal Reports*
We just received the fiscal report for the period 7/1/84 to
1O/31/B4. I think there are several issues to note:
1. Some totals are inconsistent:
Exampi es:
General Fund Receipts on +irst paqe are $840,794
In Statement 0+ Revenues" they are 344.992
In Statement 0+ Expenditures" the total +or
+or General Funds *ppropriations is $2!127!597
Yet* the budQet amount +or General Funds is
$1 931.371.
What does all that mean?
2. What happened to Community Services" and Capitol
Improvements"?
3. Most importantly. the total 23 paqe document really
doesn*t mean much to me. I have to diO around to oct the
simple in+ormatiori: How much did we qet?, How much did we
spent?. and How much is le+t?
I pulled to*ether the attached statement, based on the
data in the 23 paQe document. This summary provides me with
the in+ormation needed as a decision-maker. I+ my +ellow
Council Members agree, I suggest we direct sta++ to provide
this on a monthly basis. It is really very simple to
prepare.
Thank you.
NOTE: 12/17 Just received the November Report and added

Mr. Terrance Loughran
Riverside County Office on Aging
647 N. Main Street, Building *3
Riverside, California 92501
Dear Terry:
La Quinta is in the process of establishing an information
and referral office as a beginning step in the process of
creating a system of services and programs to meet the needs of
our seniors.
The attached proposal indicates the amounts we feel are
necessary to fund the project on a bare necessity" basis.
Since La Quinta is a relatively new City with limited
means to provide programs to its 558 seniors over the age of
65, we are asking that the Office on Aging assist us by
financing one-half the total amount of the budget for
six 6) months with the City financing the remainder. It is
hoped that opportunities for additional assistance in such
areas as grants, inclusion in the 85-86 program through
Riverside County, City involvement and community participa-
tion will be provided in the County's Fiscal Year budget
85-86).
Thank you again for your suggestions. Your assistance
and the efforts being made by your Office are greatly
appreciated.

From: Community Development Director
Date: December 18, l9*4
Subject: ABATEMENT OF PUBLIC NUISANCE
52-470 AVENIDA MADERO
NOEL & ELAINE JENSEN
On November 20, 1984, the City Council conducted a public hearing on
this matter and continued it to December 18, 1984, to allow Staff to:
Prepare a Resolution declaring a public nuisance,
but which suspends abatement if a schedule to
complete the project is maintained.
Meet with the Applicant to establish a construction
schedule.
Staff has met with the Applicant on this matter. The following
summarizes that meeting:
zoning Approval Applicant to submit Plot Plan application
by December 21. This will allow Planning
Commission review on January 8, l9*5.
Applicant shall be required to meet all
current standards.
o Building Permit Applicant to submit permit application,
including plan check fees immediately after
Planning Commission action. Permit could
then be issued no later than February 1.
o Construction
Schedule Applicant agreed to comply with the schedule
contained in the Resolution. That schedule
requires final inspection no later than
November 1, l9*5. This allows ten months to
complete which is more than reasonable.
o Financial
Security Applicant did not know how the construction
would be financed ti.e., bank construction
loan, out-of-pocket, etc.). Staff made it
as clear as possible that the Applicant
should make sure that the financial resources
were available to complete the project within
the schedule in order to avoid abatement and
that lack of funds would not be sufficient
grounds to extend the schedule or stay any

As you are aware, the process of developing a plan for tfle CVFTL has
been underway for some period of time. *tatf has been actively involved
in that process and has worked to develop a plan which best protects the
City's interests and needs. The current proposal, with its recommended
amendments, is acceptable and represents the best that can be reasonably
expected. while there are still some outstanding issues which the County
and other Cities are involved in, including agricultural lana and bound-
ries, most of these do not have a direct effect on La Quinta.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council advise its member of the CVAG
Executive Committee to support the Draft HCP as currently proposed,
including the twelve 12) recommendations of the CVAC Executive Committee.

Madam Mayor and Gentlemen:
Subject: Southern California Water Company
We are aware of the problems your community is having with the water system
serving the Cove area. The concerns you and your citizens have about the
reliability of the system and the high cost of service have received
considerable press.
We thought you might be interested to know that we are proceeding with an
investigation into the acquisition of the system from Southern California Water
Company.
As you know, we provide domestic water service to most of Coachella Valley. The
area served by Southern California Water Company is also within our district
boundaries. We currently provide domestic water service to the lower part of
La Quinta, from the country club-hotel area and north.
We now provide more than 34,000 domestic water customers with high quality well
water delivered through pressurized systems to meet modern fire flow
requirements. We also serve as the contracting agency to provide supplemental
imported water to most of Coachella Valley.
A Coachella Valley Water District domestic water user in La Quinta with 3/4-inch
meter the normal size for homes) currently pays $5.50 per month plus 47 cents
per 100 cubic feet of consumption. Average water use this time of year in La
Quinta is about 1,550 cubic feet. A typical December bill from Coachella Valley
Water District is less than $12.80. On the other hand, a user with the same
consumption from Southern California Water Company would pay $18.14, 42 percent
more.
We are quite capable of providing high quality of water service to the cove
area, but before we undertake a feasibility study to determine a course of
action leading to the upgrading of domestic water service in the upper portion
of La Quinta, we need to have your comments or specific concerns to aid us.
TRUE CONSERVATION
USE WATER WISELY

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: *norable Mayor and D***ibers of the City Council
From: Ann Jennings, *drninistrative Services Coordinator
Date: December 12, 1984
Subject: Palm Tree Trimming*ng
In November, 1983, the City contracted to have palm trees within the City public
right-of-way areas triittned. The triir*ni*ng was accomplished by formalized bidding
procedure at a cost of $8,500.00. Trees were trimeed along Avenida Obregon,
Eisenhower Drive, Avenida *ntez*ina around La Quinta Park), the islands along
Avenida Bennudas and a few other trees at various locations. The trees were in
poor condition, and the tr*ng cost of $8,500.00 was expected to be lower in
future years after the trees were brought into better condition. Recent informal
bids obtained indicate the cost for trinmjng this year to be $7,000.00.
Palm tree maintenance can be accomplished in several different ways, depending
upon the look desired and *unt of funds expended. In several valley cities
Palm springs and Palm Desert most notably), palm trees are tr11r[t* and skinned
to give a smooth, manicured look to various streets and drives. In other cities
the top fronds only are trbr[fled, leaving a rough tree trunk with clusters of
dead fronds attached similar to our trees along Obregon and Eisenhower
If the City Council decides that they would like to have City palm trees trTh!rled
annually, I would appreciate receiving direction indicating the manner and extent
to which this work should be accomplished. Formal bids specifications can be
prepared by staff to request a base bid for trir*ng of the top fronds only, and
an alternate bid which would include reroval of the clusters of dead fronds frcm
the entire trunk of certain trees skinning). In this manner, if costs for
skinning were extraordinarily high, only the base bid for top frond removal
would be accepted.
pE**CCATI*
It is respectfully reccomended that the Council authorize Staff to proceed with
preparation of plans and specifications for palm tree trirv*ing and/or skinning,
and authorize Staff to go to bid for same.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF LA QUINTA
To: The Honorable Mayor and M*r*ers of the City *uncil
From * Develop:*t Director
Date: December 18, 1984
Subject: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL ALLOCATION
The FY84-*5 Budget makes provision for one Planning Assistant Range 40). A
review of current work projects and priorities indicates that additional statfing
is needed to more adequately respond to service requests fr*n various sources.
I have recently co::pleted interviews to fill the Planning Assistant position and
have several ca:ndidates to select fran. Hawever, the best available candidate
exceeds our minimum qualifications and available salary.
Based on the above, it appears that the best im*iate solution to the staffing
concerns is to hire two planners with one as a Planning Assistant Range 40) and
the other as an Associate Planner Range 46). The new Associate Planner Range 46)
position would be half-way hetween the Planning Assistant and the Principal Planner
Range 51).
The attached *esolutions are intended to:
o Transfer funds fran Engineering to Planning to cover costs
for the Associate Planner position
o EstabliSh an Associate Planner position within the approved
personnel schedule
It is my *pectation that these increases in staffing will allow us to improve our
services to the public and to respond in a more timely manner to Council and Planning
**ssion desires.
**NITY DEVEL*PMENT DThE*R PEC**NDATION
It is my recar!t*ation that the attached Resolutions be adopted to:
Establish an Associate Planner position
o Allocate funds to that position
