The northern boundary of the Coachella Valley is formed -; _ •:if 14. by Joshua Tree National Park; the southern boundary by the 11' `1'r« } ,; .. 't Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument, designated by Congress in 2000. Forming the eastern edge of °f 4. %i'i}s ' „i the valley are the Mecca Hills and Orocopia Mountains Wilder- i w t'. r. ' ness areas and Dos Palmas Area of Critical Environmental Con- { 1;, ,,� cern. The western edge of the Coachella Valley includes the gyxit p,* Whitewater Canyon Area of Critical Environmental Concern t < . t f+ ` r and the San Gorgonio Wilderness. On the valley floor, the Coa- t ' chella Valley Fringe-toed Lizard Preserve System was estab- t r: .?' . lished in the mid 1980s to protect some of the fast disappearing Su Hai property acquisition-2002 sand dune ecosystem. In the late 1980's the Coachella Valley Mountains Trust, a nonprofit organization with broad representation among civic leaders, elected officials, environmentalists, and developers, approached State Senator Robert Presley about creating a state agency to protect the mountains surrounding the Coachella Valley. Senator Presley introduced a bill to create the Coachella Val- ley Mountains Conservancy, but because of the State's reluctance to incur new fiscal obliga- tions, the Conservancy, although created by the state, did not receive funding from the state at that time. The governing board consists of 21 voting members: the mayor or a member of the city council of each of the cities of Cathedral City, Desert Hot Springs, Indian Wells, La Quinta, Palm Desert, Palm Springs, and Rancho Mirage, appointed by each respective city council; the Chairman of the Tribal Council of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians; one member of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Riverside; three members chosen from the general public residing in the Conservancy's territory, one appointed by the Governor, one by the Sen- ate Committee on Rules, and one by the Speaker of the Assembly; the Secretary of the Re- sources Agency or his designee; the Director of Fish and Game or designee; the Executive Di- rector of the Wildlife Conservation Board or designee; the Director of Parks and Recreation or designee; the Director of Finance or designee; the Vice President, Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources, of the University of California or designee; the State Director for California of the United States Bureau of Land Management or designee; the Regional Forester for the Pa- cific Southwest Region of the United States Forest Service or designee; and the Regional Direc- tor for the Pacific West Region of the National Park Service or designee. From 1991, when the Conservancy became operational, until 1997, the Conservancy received no state funds for either basic operations or its capital outlay acquisition program. For its basic operations, the Conservancy relied on contributions from local member agencies and fundraising efforts. This supported only part-time staff. In 1996, Senator Dave Kelley authored legislation that made the Conservancy part of the Resources Agency (as all the other state con- servancies already were) as of January 1, 1997. The legislation also expanded the Conser- vancy's territory to coincide with the boundaries of the Coachella Valley Multiple Species 4 A — RESTATEMENT AND FOURTH AMENDMENT JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT CREATING THE COACHELLA VALLEY CONSERVATION COMMISSION This Agreement is intended to be a restatement and fourth amendment of the Joint Powers Agreement Creating the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission dated December 1, 2005.

IILS)` C I Getting to work and school or delivering goods and services may seem like simple daily activities but sometimes the routes we travel take decades of planning and hundreds of millions of dollars to implement.Since 1976,when RCTC was created by the state legislature,local voices have had an important and critical role in deciding our transportation future. In 1988,RCTC proposed a half-cent sales tax for transportation,Measure A.When 78.9%of voters approved the 20-year plan,RCTC became the agency charged with making sure the mobility improvements voters wanted became a reality.In 2002,voters approved an extension of Measure A until 2039. Today RCTC plans and implements transportation and transit improvements,assists local governments with money for local streets and roads,helps smooth the way for commuters and goods movement,and ensures that everyone has access to transportation. RCTC is governed by a 34 member Commission that includes a mayor or council member from each of Riverside County's cities,all five members of the Board of Supervisors,and a non-voting appointee of the Governor. Today,in addition to Measure A revenues,RCTC also allocates state and federal transportation funds in Riverside County and plans and implements region-wide projects funded under the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee(TUMF),a fee paid by new development to mitigate new transportation demands caused by growth. As a public agency,RCTC's financial operations are fully disclosed,including financial practices and investment policies,which are reflected in its comprehensive financial documents including the fiscal year budget and annual financial report.

PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Palm Desert, California, at its Regular meeting held on the 9th day of February, 2012, by the following vote, to wit: AYES: BENSON, FINERTY, HARNIR, KROONEN, and SPIEGEL NOES: NONE ABSENT: NONE ABSTAIN: NONE ROBERT A. SPIE L, ATTEST: RA HELLS D. K SEN, ity Clerk City of Palm Desert, California Dear City Staff and Council members; /s I do not feel comfortable crossing children at Portola. I think it is extremely dangerous as a child might walk out into traffic on Portola, a busy street. The City staff is suggesting that a sidewalk be installed from Portola to my house. However, even with a sidewalk, I am not comfortable walking the children that far, or crossing at such a busy intersection. Also, staff is asking me to pay for half the cost of the sidewalk. I cannot afford to do this, nor do I feel this is reasonable, as everyone in the community would use it. All traffic control requirements and standards must be reasonable. This is not reasonable. FYI: I am very interested in meeting with Allan Lehmann regarding the potential use of a school bus to transport the kids. However, I think this alternative should not be a condition of my permit. Every Wednesday WCS dismisses kids at 12:30, and I allow children to play outdoors at HL for over an hour there, as I have nowhere outside at my home for children to run around. I want to continue to be able to escort children on foot on Wednesdays, so children can have time to play at HL. Using the bus could help eliminate pedestrian crossings on the other days, but is not practical on Wednesdays due to the early dismissal time. Also, crossing Fairway on Wednesday is done at an earlier time in the day when there is less traffic. I think this early crossing would help solve some safety concerns. Further, there is no guarantee that this bus will be able to transport us next year or in the years to come. During summer time and on school holidays the bus will definitely not be available. These are times when childcare is needed as schools are closed. I do not think I should be required to use a bus or other vehicle during such times. As I have pointed out, I never step out into the street with children unless there are no cars coming from either direction. My street is straight, with good visibility and I can see all the way to Portola and all the way past Black Rabbit. . I do not cross when the sun is going down. School-age children can and do walk home alone unsupervised. This is happening all the time, and it is legal. It is legal to cross my street in front of my house, and I ask that I be allowed to cross as everyone else is. As I am not obstructing traffic, and parents are not impacting traffic when they pick up or drop off their children., I ask that any condition requiring me to transport children in a vehicle be removed, as it is unreasonable and unnecessary, and inconsistent the law. The City's legitimate role is to ensure that parents are not backing up traffic when they come to drop off or pick up their children. As long as I am crossing where it is legal, I should not be restricted because children are in my care. Are there are any other family childcares in our city that has any restrictions on how they cross streets or care for children? Thank you again for your help. I love working with the children, and hope things can be resolved today with a solution. Samantha
