Baler Mayor of La Quinta Post Office Box 1504 La Quinta, Californi8 92253 Dear Mayor Baler. Subject: Stormwater ProtectioniFringe Toe Lizard Reserve The District has been working for many years to provide stormwater protection to the area north of Interstate 10 and northwest of Indlo which includes the community of Thousand Palms. The area north of Interstate 10 is currently without any flood control protection and is subjected to flows from the foothills to the north. In 1977, tropical Storm Doreen caused millions of dollars in damage to this area. Fortunately no lives were lost in this storm. Flood Control to protect this area and the western portion of Indio from potential damage is a high priority. In 1964, the District hired Bechtel Corporation to prepare flood Control plan for this area. This plan proposed a series of dikes to convey the waste to a retention reservoir for evacuation into the Whitewater River Stormwater Chsnnel at Indlo. We are contacting the property owners in the area to see if there is enough interest in forming an assessment district to construct the flood control facilities. The proposed location of some of the stormwater facilities are within the proposed Coachella Valley Ecological Reserve. This reserve is being proposed to protect the fringe toed lizard. We recognize that a reserve is needed for the fringe toed lizard; however, we believe that stormwater protection for the residents is the highest priority. We believe that the two uses can be compatible providing that adequate planning occurs. Therefore, we have requested that the Board of Supervisors establish a committee of County, Valley Cities, public agencies, utilities, business and environmental organizations and State and Federal agencies to develop a plan for a reserve that Is compatible with the stormwater needs of the PAGE 2 MONTHLY UPDATE AUGUST 1983), cont. ement program i ABATENT PROGPAMS: The vehicle aba BIB] 01-30-1997-U01 10:16:04AM-U01 CC-U02 09-U02 20-U02 1983-U02 ( Mayor Bajer 2 September 13, 1983 Enclosed are drawings showing the Bechtel plan. and the fringe toed lizard reserve and our Resolution to the Board of Supervior.

Baier, Mayor City of La Quinta 78 105 Calle Estado La Quinta, California 92253 Dear Nayor Eier: The spiraling cost of doing business and providing services has played no favor- ites in the last 8 to 10 years. In fact business as well as government have, whenever necessary, adjusted the pricing Structures for goods or services upward to meet the costs. It is in this vain that I direct this letter to you and your colleagues. Coachella Valley Television has been no exception in feeling the crunch of the economy. A rate increase by October 1, 1983 is absolutely essential if we are to maintain the trend of standards that have been established over the past several years. The following you will find supportive and demonstrative of the position of necessity we take. 1: Since 1975 the Consumer Price Index CPI) has increased 64.1% while the Coachella Valley Cable Television bill has increased only 15.1%. Predicated on the standard of the CPI an $11.41 basic service rate would be called for as opposed to the $8.00 currently being charged. Simply put, our rates have not kept pace with the changing economy. Exhibit A) 2: A survey of rates in California as well as other areas of the nation show average rates for basic service to be much higher than those presently charged by Coachella Valley Television. Of 30 systems chosen at random from around California see attached Exhibit B) we found the average basic cable rate to be $9.95 per month. According to the Cable Television Information Center," 1800 North Kent Street, Suite 1007, Arlington, Virginia 22209, a survey of the nations 25 largest cities demonstrated an average basic cable rate of $9.84. Of the systems with more than 30,000 subscribers, the average basic service jumped to $10.62 per month. Coachella Valley Television serves some 35,000 basic subscribers. 3: According to Southern California Gas, during the last 5 years rates have risen in excess of 100%, and according to GTE, telephone rates have risen 60%. In addition to the econoITic considerations outlined to this point, what is and what has Coachella Valley Cable Television been doing for the subscribers of the Valley?

Baier, Mayor September 2, 1983 City of La Quinta Page 2 1: 24 months ago we embarked On an ambitious valley-wide rebuild program aimed at replacing the then existing 12 channel system with a state of the art" 35 channel to 54 channel capable system by year end 1984. Some 5.5 million dollars of capital have already been poured into the rebuild program. The results have ben significant already. At the present time the rebuild has resulted in ren- dering the system throughout the valley at least 29 channel capable with several areas already at the 35 channel to 54 channel level. Programming is already appearing on the additional channels and being marketed through the 29 channel level. See Exhibit C Channel Line-Up" showing what is available now at 29 channels arid what will be available at 35 channels.) The product available flow to subscribers versus the previous 12 channel speaks for itself. FCC author- ization has been applied for to utilize channels 29 and 32. 2: Since coming aboard 18 months ago, our Chief Engineer, Maynard Miller, has directed his efforts toward the single purpose of subscriber oriented field service and response. He has accomplished this with training, recruiting and additional staff and equipment. Our service department and field operations are now manned 24 hours a day, 365 days a year including holidays, enabling us to be as responsive as possible to the needs of our subscribers and our franchising authorities. By employing staggered shifts and confining service and technical personnel to specific zones, we have effectively been able to respond to individual out of service within a 24 hour time frame and most often within hours of the subscribers call. Service outages, affecting three 3) subscribers or more are responded to at any hour, in effect rendering 24 hours a day service to Coachella valley subscribers. staffing increases are made as needed to meet the increasing growth of our subscriber count. 3: Cook Street Facility In 1981 we constructed a new warehouse and service facility to meet the growing needs of our operation as well as cable subscribers. The capital outlay required was $900,000. Candidly, we could outline numerous items not quite as significant as those out- lined above, that are representative of improvement and investment made in recent years, all with the aim of providing a level of service which few can boast. As demonstrated herein, we are on the threshold of achieving that end. To maintaifi this level of excellence necessitates an adjustment in our rates. As you are aware, Coachella Valley Cable Television serves some 35,000 subs- cribers through eight 8) individual franchises. All of them differ somewhat including the provisions spelled out for the process by which the cable operator may make application for and get a rate adjustment. As you can appreciate this become tirne consuming and cumbersome for all concerned, government and operator alike. It is for these reasons that Coachella valley Television has determined to exercise its rightsoutlined under Section 53066.1 a) of Assembly Bill o. 2778, the Laws of the State of California", providing for exemption from local rate regulation. I enclose for your records a copy of our filing with the of PAGE 2 MONTHLY UPDATE AUGUST 1983), cont. ement program is ABATENT PROGIAMS: The vehicle aba BIB] 01-30-1997-U01 10:16:04AM-U01 CC-U02 09-U02 20-U02 1983-U02 ( The Honorable Robert L. Bajer, Mayor September 2, 1983 City of La Quinta Page 3 Our planned increase October 1st will take our basic service charge to $10.00 per month, an increase of $2.00 per month. When considering the average Coachella valley Cable subscriber purchases $15.59 in monthly services the increase represents a hike of only 12.87. The States deregulation law recognizes that rates are not the paramount issue in the cable television regulatory process. Service, condition of plant, superior facilities, community service, franchise fees, overall responsiveness to the consumer are the issues which get to root of public interest. In July the City of Indjo approved a renegotiated franchise renewal which speaks to these core issues of today's franchising process. It is the product of approximately two years of negotiations with the City of Indio and its consultant, Mr. Carl Pilnick, noted for his franchising work across the country on behalf of municipal and county government. I have taken the liberty of enclosing a copy of this document for your general information. Although our remaining franchises are not due for the renewal process for years, we will be receptive at anytime to negotiate renewal consistent with the substance of the Indio franchise, affording you a much earlier time frame to provide your constituents with a more inclusive franchise document. We have and will continue to take our responsibility to our subscribers and franchise holders very seriously. We believe the minimal niagnitude of the rate increase is reflective of this in the face of statistical data which seezningly could justify a far greater basic rate. In keeping with the spirit of our fran- chises the new rate is directed to a fair and reasonable return We look forward to our continued fine working relationship. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call.

Nish Le subject claim was received September 13, 1983 regarding an incident which occurred on September 6, 1983 at 8:30 a.m. On that morning, visibility and weather conditions were good. If, as the claimant indicates, there was a large rock in the roadway on Avenida Bermudas, it is not known if the claimant might have had sufficient opportunity to avoid it. However, the City was not aware of the rock being in the roadway, and subsequent investigation reveals that there are not any large rocks in the paved roadway on Avenida Bermudas.
