ZOUN DATION
Mr. Mayor and Members of the City Council:
On October 27, 1990, La Quinta Arts Foundation proudly presented
the fifth annual La Quinta Village Faire. The Arts Foundation
incorporated the experience of the four Drevious shows to
make this first event of the season the best Fall art celebration
in our Coachella Valley.
This year, the Village Faire presented the work of 95 exhibitors.
With the exceDtion of eight invitational" artists from outside
the Coachella Valley, all exhibiting artists reside within the
Coachella Valley. Fine arts such as painting, sculpture,
watercolor. and photography were featured as well as crafts such
as ceramics, woodworking, fabric, baskets and country crafts.
Artists sales increased over $6,000 from the year before; sales
of $37,000 were reported. This increase in artists' sales is
perhaps the result of increased attendance. The Arts Foundation
estimates that between 4,000-4,500 visitors attended the show
this year.
In addition to the artists displays, community service groups
from La Quinta set uD information booths under canoDies on
the east end of the park. Thirteen groups participated. Among
these were the Coachella Valley Parks and Recreation District,
The Boys and Girls Clubs of the Coachella Valley, Riverside
County Sheriff, The La Quinta Historical Society, the Senior
Center and the Code Enforcement Department of the City of La
Quinta. The canoDies and the draped tables that were supplied
for these groups added a festive feeling to the Village Faire as
well as making the groups a more cohesive part of the show.
Roger Hirdler and his office staff were very helpful in the
organization of this Dart of the event.
As with all Arts Foundation events, the success of the Village
Faire is due in great measure to our community volunteers.
Chamber Ambassadors were on hand to escort artists to their place
on the grounds; Soroptimists organized and supervised the
children's area; and our Arts League volunteers registered
artists, sold posters, cookbooks and elephant rides. Support
came from all areas of the community. makinQ this event truly one
that everyone could enjoy and be a part of.
To augment the art on display, a full day of entertainment was
planned. The Village Faire officially began with an opening
ceremony--a welcome from Marcia Christensen, the show
coordinator, and opening remarks from the Mayor and members of
the City Council. The La Quinta musical group Revival performed
the official La Quinta city song which began the day's musical

d_Gentertainment. Live bluegrass music was performed from the
gazebo stage by three groups throughout the day. In addition,
the Naughty Pine Cloggers danced under the Ramada, a face-Zainter
decorated faces of the young and not-so-young, and Kitty, the
elephant. gave rides for $2.00 on the ball field. Children
Zainted and sketched on easels in the children1s area. A
professional concessionaire sold drinks and hot dogs and
sandwiches. A large canopy was placed over the eating area this
year. providing a shaded area to eat and much needed relief from
the sun. Bales of hay were placed in the Ramada after the
dancers finished performing. creating additional seating in a
shaded area.
An important reason that attendance to the 1990 Village Faire
grew, is that this year the money allocated for the marketing
program was doubled. Display advertisements were placed in the
Desert Sun, Desert Weekly, Desert Community News. the Press
EnterDrise and the Los Angeles Times Newspapers. Numerous
articles featuring the Village Faire were released and
published in the same papers. In addition, six radio stations
ran 96 paid ads, donated 96 ads and made numerous public service
announcements promoting the Village Faire. Foundation staff
provided numerous radio interviews and announced the event at
various meetings of community service groups. Ten thousand
Village Faire postcards were printed; seven thousand of these
were mailed directly to all residents of La Quinta. The
remaining three thousand postcards were given to exhibitors to
mail to people on their mailing lists. Two hundred-fiftv
handbills were printed and given to businesses for display in La
Quinta, Indian Wells and Palm Desert by our Arts League
volunteers. Just prior to the event, large banners announcing
the show were hung from the trees at each end of the park,
directional signs were placed on city streets and a 5'xll'
portable billboard was placed on the corner of Washington and
Highway 111 to direct visitors to the show. For the first time,
reporters from the local newspaDers and radio stations came to
the Village Faire to interview artists and Arts Foundation
representatives.
The La Quinta Village Faire is a special event for La Quinta Arts
Foundation. It is thrQugh this arts and crafts show that the
Foundation can fulfill its mission of promoting and nurturing
emerging artistic talent in our local community. It is
through the Village Faire that the Arts Foundation can Dresent an
arts related event that provides something for everyone in the
community--exposure for our community service groups and fun for
the entire family. It is an event that strengthens the city's
identity with the arts and enhances the city's reputation as a
cultural leader in our valley.
We are grateful to the members of the La Quinta City Council for
providing the financial means to produce this event. On behalf
of La Quinta Arts Foundation Board of Directors and staff, thank
you Your vision and your support benefits not only the artist,
but the people of La Quinta.

In May of 1990, the City Council approved a budget in the

obsolete as a result of the City's growth and expansion,
changes in State planning and environmental law, and it lacks
user friendliness". Some portions of the Plan have been
updated periodically since 1985, but no comprehensive update
has been undertaken until now.
A Request for Qualifications RFQ) was sent to over 75 firms
that provide planning and environmental professional consulting
services. The City received Statements of Qualifications from
sixteen of these firms interested in working for the City on
this project. City Staff reviewed each Statement of
Qualification for their related experience and ability to
complete this project, and selected six firms to compete for
the project. A Request for Proposals RFP) was sent to:
Blayney Dyett, Urban and Regional Planners
BRW, Inc.
Culbertson, Adams & Associates, Inc.
Envicom Corporation
FORMA
STA Planning, Inc.
The City received three proposals to do this work from BRW,
Inc.; FORMA; and STA Planning, Inc. City Staff interviewed
each firm; and believes that BRW, Inc. would deliver the best
professional planning and environmental services to update the
City's General Plan.

Our Client: Geoffrey J. Marcus
Date of Incident: May 12, 1990
To Whom it May Concern:
Please be advised that this firm represents GEOFFREY MARCUS
regarding a dog bite incident which occurred on May 12, 1990.
The purpose of this letter is to serve as a Notice of Claim for
damages against the City of La Quinta to compensate for injuries
sustained by GEOFFREY J. MARCUS due to the above-referenced dog
bite.
The City of La Quinta was negligent in not responding or taking
proper action after being put on notice of a dog with vicious
propensities located at 52770 Mendoza in La Quinta, California.
The City of La Quinta was put on notice by various individuals in
the neighborhood prior to the date of the incident. The City was
negligent in not requiring that the dangerous dog be confined
and leashed as required by City Ordinances. As a result of the
City's negligence the dog, a two year old Pit Bull" named
Binky", was unleashed and unconfined thus able to attack and
bite Mr. Marcus.
The incident occurred as our client was walking East on Nogales
from Avenida Mendoza, at approximately 7:00 p.m. on May 12, 1990.
Due to the dog bit our client, sustained severe injuries to his
left hand.

DESCRIPTION: APPROVAL OF ART SHOWS AT PLAZA LA QUINTA
LOCATION: SOUTHWEST CORNER OF HIGHWAY 111 AND

BACKGROUND:
The Applicant has requested approval to hold weekend art shows on the vacant lawn
area east of Downey Savings and Loan facing Highway Ill at the Plaza La Quinta
Shopping Center. This is the same location that art shows the last two years were
held. However, this Applicant has no current or past affiliation with the previous
show operator.
Because of a timing and scheduling conflict, Staff did allow the art show to operate
the weekend of November 3rd and 4th, with the Director granting a one show
approval.
For your information, MTOE applications are usually reviewed and acted upon by the
Planning Director. However, due to problems that started two years ago, when the
art shows were operated by another group, approval last year was delegated to the
Planning Commission.
PROPOSAL:
The Applicant wishes to hold weekend Saturday and Sunday) art shows starting as
soon as approval and continuing until March 31, 1991, with the exception of March
16th and 17th, which is when the La Quinta Arts Festival is held. Hours would be
9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. The maximum number of artists is proposed to be 25-30.
Portable restrooms are to be provided on site during the show.
ANALYSIS:
1. The art show was permitted to operate on the weekend of November 3rd and
4th with conditions that address previous problems. No problems resulted
that Staff is aware of.
2. The Applicant has agreed to not hold a show on the La Quinta Arts Festival
weekend to avoid any potential conflicts or confusion.

CODE RELATING TO MAXIMUM WALL HEIGHT FOR

DESIGN REVIEW BOARD REPORT, AS ATTACHMENT #1
OF ATTACHED PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT).
ZONING: RZ1* SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS, 1200 SQ. FT.
MINIMUM DWELLING SIZE)
BACKGROUND:
The Applicant requested a variance to the permitted maximum wall height of 6-feet
for construction of a 9-foot high wall, which they feel will alleviate certain problems
being experienced with respect to hotel traffic and guests. These problems are
detailed in Attachment #2 the Design Review Board Staff report which is part of the
attached Planning Commission Staff report. Staff determined that the Design Review
Board should have input into review of the wall design at their meeting of November
7, 1990, the Design Review Board moved to recommend approval of the wall design
as submitted, with no recommended modifications.
The existing wall is proposed to be relocated approximately 12-feet closer to the
Avenida Fernando curb, and will follow the curve as Fernando runs west-to-east.
The wall will terminate at the base of the existing hillside. Appilcant also proposed
to extend the 9-foot wall along the western property line.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The La Quinta Planning Commission, at their regular meeting of November 20, 1990,
did approve the Variance request by adoption of Planning Commission Resolution 90-
041, in accordance with modified Conditions of Approval. The Planning Commission
made the following modifications to the recommended conditions:

d_G1. The Planning Commission removed the recommended requirement that a three
foot Oleander, or similar hedge be provided to reduce the height appearance
anticipated with a nine foot high white block wall. The Applicant contended
that this would detract from the wall design.
2. The Staff recommendation incorporated a condition stipulating that approval
of the Variance would apply only to the frontage along Avenida Fernando and
not to any side or rear property lines. The premise for this was that the

FROM: PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
DATE: NOVEMBER 20, 1990
SUBJECT: POST OFFICE REMODEL/EXPANSION
Attached are two proposed site plans for the Post Office remodel and expansion
The first phase is for the remodel of the existing parking lot. Construction would
start once approved by the City. As can be seen by the proposed Phase 1 site plan,
20 feet of the City lots now occupied by the Chamber of Commerce, would be used for
parking.
Phase 2 includes the purchase of the four City lots and construction of an additional
building and parking lot. Attached is an alternate design prepared by Engineering
which for Phase 2 provides better circulation than the one prepared by the
developer.
ACTION:
The matter is before the Council for discussion.

Santa Monica, California 90405-3026 & Z Z
Dear Mr. Maciorski:
As we were talking on the phone, the over-crowding at the La Zuinta Post
Office is severe and it will get worse with the addition of 5800 houses
within the next two years.
The City of La Zuinta owns the adjacent four lots immediately to the
South of our facility. They are willing to sell us the property, part
or all, providing you assure them of a definite time when the temporary
trailer will be removed.
I propose to construct, immediately, some additional parking Phase ly.
Also, at this time we should build a trash enclosure, a security fence
for the delivery trucks, relocate the snorkel mail boxes and construct
properly designed Handicapped Parking.
Phase II denotes an additional 5000 sq. ft. building, relocating the
Finance Windows, separate employee parking, a loading dock and additional
patron parking.
I am ready to have further consultations with you immediately and provide
you with more detail plans and probable costs.
Sincerely,
He teinmann

FROM: Frank Reynolds, Director of Public
City Engineer
DATE: October 16, 1990
SUBJECT: Technical Traffic Comittee
A Regular meeting of the Technical Traffic Comittee was held at
11:00 A.M. on Wednesday, September 19, 1990. Attendance
included:
Members: Sergeant John Carlson
Riverside County Sheriff's Department, Indio
Gene Marshall, Local Street & Roads Engineer
Caltrans, District 11, San Diego
Tom Hartung, Building & Safety Director
City of La Quinta
Frank Reynolds, Director of Public Works

Staff: Steve Speer, Senior Civil Engineer

Mr. Reynolds brought the meeting to order at 11:00 A.M.
New Business Item #1 Consider a proposal to vacate Avenue 53
between Jefferson and Madison Streets
Mr. Reynolds gave a brief oral presentation of the proposed
street vacation. Mr. Reynolds stated that Avenue 53 is
currently in an unincorporated area of the county but is
presently under annexation proceedings by the City and the
developers on both sides of the street within the indicated
vacation limits desire to have the street vacated. All three 3)
of the proposed developments intend to be gated communities with
private streets. Mr. Reynolds further explained that the Fire

Page 2
Marshal has preliminarily indicated opposition to vacating the
street, therefore to obtain other opinions, Mr. Reynolds
requested and welcomed input from the Committee members in
attendance.
Sgt. Carison stated that closure and vacation of Avenue 53 would
have no effect on the Sheriff's Department because they are
conditioned to think in terms of even numbered avenues when
responding to emergency calls. Sgt. Carlson said many of the odd
numbered avenues in the valley are nonexistent or discontinuous
from one section to the next and thus unreliable for emergency
response while the even numbered avenues are known to be
continuous.
Mr. Marshall stated that Caltrans in general preferred more
arterial streets that parallel state highways because it helps
reduce congestion on state highways. He went on to say
however, that if Avenue 53 is vacated, the City should carefully
look at the internal streets within the subdivision so good
circulation is provided for fire access.
No motion was made, nor was one requested by Mr. Reynolds.
New Business Item #2 Intersection of Avenue 52 and Washington
Street
Mr. Reynolds gave a brief oral presentation of the Avenue 52
realignment situation in which the portion east of Washington
Street is on the new alignment and the portion west of
Washingtion Street is still on the old alignment thus causing an
offset of several hundred feet at Washington Street and causes
the creation of a new T" and L" shaped intersections. Mr.
Reynolds requested input as to what the committee would consider
appropriate signing of the two intersections on Washington
Street.
After some discussion by the committee, a consensus was
obtained with the following traffic sign measures recommended:
Washington Street Old Avenue 52
Install 90-degree turn advance warning arrow" signs
for both the eastbound and southbound traffic.
* Install 10 mph or 15 mph recommended speed sign on
the post with the advance turn warning sign.

Chairwoman Ladner shared Council Member Sniff's thoughts on
Commissioner Beck:
La Quinta has lost a thoughtful, compassionate, articulate
and passionate man. A Champion of worthy causes. A friend
to and protector of our children. A loving father and
husband. When Martin saw darkness, he sought to illuminate
it. When Martin saw a problem he sought to solve it. When
Martin saw a need, he sought to fill it. In many ways
Martin Beck was a special man. Unique. Endowed with those
qualities that set him above the ordinary and will make him
truly unforgettable. Martin's legacy to us is one of
love. Love of Country, love of community, love of friends
and love of family."
Chairwoman Ladner requested a moment of silence in honor of
Commissioner Martin Beck who passed away September 25, 1990.

La Ouinta, CA 92253
Dear Mr. Lloyd:
I am writing this letter to alert you that La Ziinta Joint Venture
as Conditioned has begun the initial phases of construction
on the Avenida Obregon Gate South End.
The Condition reZiires the existing Fernando Gate to be moved
West of Ave. Obregon and that an Binergency-Only Gate be
installed at the South End of Ave. Obregon. The Condition if
completed, OPENS Ave. Obregon from the North End to ANY Z ALL;
which in turn places all properties in a very vulnerZe poZtion.
All properties and aZenities become accessible to anyone from
the Western Boundary of Ave. Obregon.
I am surprised and disappointed that work has begun to satisfy
this Ridiculous and Damaging Condition. Unfortunately, if the
Condition is completed eZiZ)loyees of La Quinta Hotel will be
directed to enter Ave. Obregon as indicated on the enclosed
Exhibit A.
As dZnonstrated in previous correspondence and in meetings
Sept. 24, 1990), Landmark is sensitive to your concerns. The
concept of Zmning the Thcisting Fernando Gate has been prcZ)osed
as a SOLUrION. Providing manned security 24 hrs. a day) at
the Existing Fernando Gate is logical, La Quinta Hotel could
and would then direct its Employees via Ave. Fernando to Ave. Obregon.
I believe that the City of La CZiinta would certainly be receptive
to the Proposed Solution".
The situation is very clear you have a choice via the
Proposed Solutionit however, time is of the essence. Only
you and your Associates can cause the Condition to be NZllified.
Once again, I encourage you to consider and accept the
Proposed Solution".
Respectfully,
Greg Abadie
