V. NEW BUSINESS
A. CIP PROGRESS REPORT
- Presentation by Staff
Randy Chavez gave a brief update regarding the CIP Report. Mr. Chavez
mentioned that some of the progress was pushed back a bit because
some of the projects required an overnight stay from the contractors.
There are currently bike rack projects that got completed, including
Parkview. Three were installed in front of the flag pole and two at the
Parkview office. Parks that don't have bike racks will get them installed as
well. Sabby Jonathan asked about having bike racks as a form of art.
Deborah Glickman mentioned that she has that on the radar already,
however art bike racks can take up to a year to install. The basketball
court project at Hovley Soccer Park will be starting this week. Surface
cracks will be filled in, and other physical structures will be taken into
consideration as well. Shade structures are slated to be replaced soon,
hopefully by the end of the week. The Joe Mann Park water feature will
be taken out, a barbecue grill, and tables are going in as replacements;
starting the week of May 8. Mr. Chavez has also kept residents informed
regarding these changes. Vice Chair Hardin asked about the mist
systems in the parks. Mr. Chavez stated that he is currently working on a
quote for the current inventory; there are five at Civic Center and three or
four at Freedom Park.

PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
PRELIMINARY MINUTES MAY 02, 2017
Deborah Glickman stated that Desert X was an exhibition that began in
February with 16 pieces of art throughout the Coachella Valley, from
Whitewater to Coachella. One of the art pieces that was a robot, ran out
of batteries, and so the pieces were used as a wanted billboard
throughout California; it was called the Shy-Bot. One of the organizers of
the project, Susan Davis, expected about 40,000 spectators for Desert X,
it eventually turned into almost 100,000 spectators, ranging from Los
Angeles to Nevada; it got massive international press. They estimated up
to one thousand people in a day. The City sponsored the Desert X Project
from a marketing aspect. The mirror house in Palm Springs will be staying
up through October. Most pieces will be de-installing as of today. Ms.
Glickman is asking for ideas on other locations for future Desert X
exhibitions. Commissioner Hall mentioned the only issue with Desert X
was the mobile application; it wasn't very user friendly, please provide
updates.
VII. OLD BUSINESS
NONE
VIII. PRESENTATIONS AND UPDATES
A. FRIENDS OF THE DESERT MOUNTAINS UPDATE
Tammy Martin currently launched a grant application with CV Trek, which
is through USA Today, and she is hoping that with the video submission,
they will get into the top ten. First place is worth $100,000 or $50,000.
CV Trek is a program to help introduce hiking to the youth of the
Coachella Valley. The wellness benefits of hiking include, physical
exercise, experiencing natural beauty, and camaraderie; voting is open
until May 12. A new hiking app will be launched, there will be 8 trails to
start off with; they will also be working with the CVB. Trail signs have
been completed in La Quinta; next step is Palm Desert. Trails in Palm
Desert are in pretty good shape. Ms. Martin also mentioned that Friends
of the Desert Mountain is celebrating their 30th Anniversary.
B. PARK USE REPORT
- Civic Center Park
Kim Warpinski reflected on the actuality that Civic Center is the busiest
park here in the City; Ms. Warpinski turned things over to Randy Chavez
for a few updates. One of the things mentioned is the dog park. Mr.
Chavez is hoping to have the fencing replaced, and painted with
polyurethane to prevent rusting; it's a pretty aggressive plan for next fiscal
year. There will be new trash cans installed, in addition to that there will
be new drinking fountains, not only for the dog park, but also for the
baseball fields; they are trying to standardize everything. The nets for the
3

PRELIMINARY MINUTES MAY 02, 2017
volleyball courts will be replaced, and the sand as well. Ryan Stendell
wanted to thank Mr. Chavez for being accommodating on Earth Day to the
Girls Scouts, and for allowing someone to donate a tree to the dog park.
Mr. Chavez mentioned that they are hoping to possibly make this an
annual event. In the future it can expand into something more wonderful.
Sabby Jonathan brought up the issue with the standing water that can be
unhealthy, and it can create legal issues if not tended to accordingly.
Updated maps of the park are up for next fiscal year.
C. PALM DESERT AQUATIC CENTER
David Keyes gave an update on the Aquatic Center. There were a total of
975 attendees for the water egg hunt on Easter. It was a great day, a
great event, and a great turnout. New Mexico University will be coming
out in December; British Colombia is still set to come out in January, 2018.
There are more full facility rentals which includes Desert Christian
Academy, and the Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio who will have a movie
night on June 2. A group from Irvine will be coming out for a retreat.
CVUSD is the majority of the school field trips to the pool; they are booked
May 19 — June 9. In addition to the school trips, birthday parties are in full
swing as well. Next event will be on May 13, Free Swim Lesson Day.
They are hoping for a bigger turnout than last year. There were some
closures; the lap pool for filtration, and clarity of water. The recreational
pool had some replacements and is back in action. There is a big event
coming up for July 4.
D. FAMILY YMCA OF THE DESERT
Rob Ballew gave an update on programs. There was an egg hunt for
Healthy Kids Day. There were five separate egg hunts based on age
groups, with about 10,000 eggs that day. Bags with prizes were given out
to 600 kids and their families. For Y activities there are 150 kids for Spring
Football, 120 kids for Y-Rookies. They're getting ready for a big summer
with Day Camps. One camp will be dealing with world records.
The following is a list of camps for this summer: Lego, Jedi, Dodgeball,
Hot-Wheel, Groove & More, Nerf, Fashion Week, Harry Potter, Geek
Week, Princess, and Sports Academy Camps. Mr. Ballew also added that

Palm Desert City Council
73510 Fred Waring Dr,
Palm Desert, CA 92260
Dear Honorable Mayor and City Council Members:
While I was Roosevelt Elementary School principal, all the administrators attending a DSUSD meeting
were shocked and dismayed when over the weekend a first grade boy drowned in the All American canal
after chasing the ball that had landed in the canal. There were persons attempting to rescue the child,
but to no avail as he had no swimming skills whatsoever. My fellow administrator, Nancy Hill of Jackson
Elementary, and I determined to do what we could to prevent such a tragedy. Jackson School held swim
lessons for years. Nearly twenty years later, it is still a goal of mine to institute swim lessons for children.
Approximately three years ago, we started a water safety swim program at our tuition-free private school
in Thousand Palms. The vast majority of our children did not know how to swim and were afraid of the
water. Karen, Roger, David and the instructors were top-notch at all aspects of the eight swim lessons,
water safety and recreation activities. The program planning meetings, discussion and emails were
professional and courteous. The program delivery was exemplary. As with any program that deals with
service to a wide-range of people, problems will crop up. The Aquatic Center staff handled our questions,
concerns, and needs promptly and graciously. It is a study to watch the staff balance safety and a variety
of needs with a wide spectrum of the public in apparent effortless decision-making and actions done with
respect, kindness and graciousness. With the change in leadership at Karen's retiring from the head
position, we were concerned. As has been the case in all past experiences with the PDAC staff, the new
program director, David Keyes, carries the mantle of quality established by the inaugural PDAC, team
with excellence. It is no wonder that we frequently hear from friends who live in Palm Desert that the
community of Palm Desert is very proud of its exemplary Aquatic Center. Well done!
One of the impetuses for writing this letter today was discovering that one of our high school students will
come to the Swim Club at the PDAC starting this week. What makes this an amazing event is that she
was a non-swimmer from Thermal when we started the program. She went from clinging to the
instructors in terror three years ago to taking the challenge to join the Swim Club when her instructor,
Amanda, suggested that she has real potential. This morning, when I saw her at our school library
program, she gave a bright smile at the mention of swimming! Her family has been trying to discover
ways to make her smile after the death of her father less than two years ago. This is just one example of
the tremendous positive impact of your PDAC program.
Thank you for providing this outstanding program that services many people in our Coachella Valley.
Sincerely,
Kennedy Rocker
Founder/Principal, Dove's Landing School

Condon and Caroline Wales received invitations to attend TFT Life Skills and Leadership
Academy July 26th — August 1 at Michigan State University, East Lansing MI. This fun and
educational experience will allow these youth to become leaders within our Chapter, our local
schools and community. Further, Dana Condon was also selected to attend 2017 College Golf
Prep Academy in West Palm Beach, FL July 11 — 18. This Academy is geared to prepare the
participants with a very golf intensive environment with the expectation of a competitive and
rigorous playing experience. Finally, our Program Director Dustin Smith applied and was
selected to participate as a Coach Instructor at the Life Skills and Leadership Academy in East
Lansing, MI. A great opportunity for Dustin to expand his skill set working with highly qualified
TFT Coaches.
5) Finally, we are experiencing steady growth with our NSP (National Schools Program) initiative
gaining entry to elementary schools with the Desert Sands Unified School District. With the
support of targeted grant donations, we are now able to bring TFT programming to the physical
education classes at minimal cost to the schools coupled with a complete program of
equipment, lesson plans and oversight for each school involved.
Golf Center Activities—
1) With the increasing seasonal heat and the departure of our snow bird golfers, volume at the
Golf Center continued to decrease as the month of May concluded.The golf course continues to
work through the seasonal turf transition from the winter rye grass to the summer Bermuda
grass playing conditions. Our grounds crew has been busy with responding to 'hot spots' on the
course with added water being applied in response to the warm late Spring temperatures. We
are also in active discussion with our current maintenance contractor to determine whether we
will extend our current contract, as described in the vendor contract, or to move in the direction
of an overall new contract. We anticipate a decision by mid-June. We are also determining the
feasibility of utilizing a range ball dispensing machine for certain times of the year to reduce
labor while providing range ball access and golfer practice opportunities. In addition, the final
tally has been completed with over $9K raised from our monthly Second Saturday parking lot
sales of donated goods. Both good will and good donations were achieved and we look to fine
tuning this event for next season. Finally, the Golf Center has moved to it's summer hours of
operation schedule of 7:OOA— 1:00P seven days a week.
The First Tee Board Activities/Outreach—
Our The First Tee—Coachella Valley Board of Directors held their Board meeting Monday, May 8th at the
Golf Center. Topics of discussion included a re-cap of our April Invitational event at the Sinatra Resort
and Country Club in Rancho Mirage. Board Member and Tournament Chairperson Jon Proctor reported
an approximate $24K raised from the event, an increase over prior year with additional opportunities
available with expanded sponsor participation available in addition to the support of the new owner of
the Sinatra. We also have been fortunate to receive support from over 10 country clubs in the Valley
with continued outreach to this important segment gaining traction over time. We also have received
notification of the support of three of the nation's top golf management groups sharing their donations
with
the National TFT and our local chapter. As we look to the coming fall season, we'll be formulating our
2018 Strategic Plan with continued focus on expanding our outreach and telling our story to Valley
residents. Finally, we are actively identifying and recruiting potential TFT-CV Board members to further
our commitment to an engaged and energized core group of Valley wide individuals.
