CVEP for operations of the iHUB through the end of the iHUB facilities lease (February 28, 2027).

$175,000 annual compensation to CVEP.

CITY OF PALM DESERT
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 22, 2023
PREPARED BY: Clayton von Helf, Information Systems Manager
REQUEST: APPROVE THE INFORMATION SYSTEMS DEPARTMENT
TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT PURCHASES IN AN AGGREGATE
AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $190,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
1.Approve the Information Systems Department technology equipment purchases in an
aggregate amount not to exceed $190,000 and authorize City Manager to execute
agreements.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
As part of the I.T. Master Plan, the City has adopted an I.T. equipment replacement schedule
under which workstations, printers, and scanners will be replaced every five years; laptops and
tablets every four years. Computer hardware is constantly improving to meet the needs of users
and newly developed software. By replacing computer equipment on a regularly scheduled
basis, the City is able to take advantage of those improvements and leverage them into greater
efficiencies and minimize down-time caused by malfunctions or system crashes. Under this plan
there are 90 devices scheduled for replacement in FY 2023/24, however under this program the
I.T. Manager may approve accelerated replacement of key equipment to maintain high levels of
staff productivity and use of latest generation software products in answer to changing work
conditions City staff faces.
I.T. staff is continually evaluating equipment and workstation configurations for our users to
ensure appropriate replacement. For the FY 2023/24 replacement cycle staff has identified
vendors who can provide the appropriate equipment configurations at government contract
pricing. The government pricing meets the procurement requirements of PDMC 3.30.160(E).
The older computers and equipment, if serviceable, will be used in our lab environment, kept for
emergency backups, donated to non-profit groups, or disposed of with an e-waste vendor (as a
last resort and with Council approval).
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Approval of staff’s request would result in an expense not to exceed $190,000 from the
equipment replacement fund. Funds were budgeted and upon approval, will be available for the
2023-24 fiscal year in account number 5304190-4404000.

CITY OF PALM DESERT
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 22, 2023
PREPARED BY: Clayton von Helf, Information Systems Manager
REQUEST: APPROVE ANNUAL COMPUTER SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE
MAINTENANCE FOR THE LISTED VENDORS IN THE ESTIMATED
AMOUNT OF $975,600 AND AUTHORIZE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE
RENEWAL AGREEMENTS.
RECOMMENDATION:
1.Approve annual computer software and hardware maintenance costs for the listed vendors
in the estimated amount of $975,600; and
2.Authorize the City Manager to execute renewal agreements.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The Information Technology required to operate the City now encompasses a wide breadth of
hardware, software and cloud services. Everything from the physical servers that host our phone
systems, to the cloud services that provide website and app features. Each of these systems
requires service agreements and annual maintenance subscriptions. For the hardware, this
allows staff to receive patches, updates, and technical support. For the software, this allows
usage of both “Cloud” based and on-premises software, as well as updates including real time
operational and technical support critical to core business functions.
The attached report lists the vendors, estimated amounts, and a brief description of the purpose.
These software licenses and maintenance services are provided under a variety of pricing
vehicles, some are obtained through government pricing contracts, while others are partners
with the City’s Enterprise software vendors that support integration of information and/or are sole
source services. Finally, many are proprietary software products. In each case, staff evaluates
pricing and effectiveness in the selection process and ensures that the best value is obtained
for the City.
In addition, due to the rapidly evolving need for technology solutions, it is realistically expected that
during the year the City may add and/or modify this list to achieve additional initiatives in the IT
Master Plan, add products to adapt to a critical need, or to remove systems that are no longer used.
Again, cost, value and effectiveness will be considered.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Maintenance costs for annual computer software and hardware for the listed vendors is
estimated to be $975,600. The overall estimated cost herein is based on estimations with an
Item 1E-1
City of Palm Desert
Annual Software Maintenance
Page 2 of 2
understanding that the cost will change during the year as needs are assessed, products are
removed, or renewals occur. Funds will be available in Fiscal Year 2023-2024 budget.
This table shows the estimated expense for each category of software.
Maintenance Category Budgeted Expense

REQUEST: APPROVE A TEMPORARY WAIVER TO PALM DESERT MUNICIPAL
CODE SECTIONS 9.58.010 AND 9.58.020 (CONSUMPTION/
POSSESSION OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ON PUBLIC PROPERTY)
FOR THE SALE AND CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL AT THE GALEN
BUILDING LOCATED AT 72567 HIGHWAY 111 FOR FISCAL YEAR
2023/2024
RECOMMENDATION:
1.
2.
Authorize the City Manager to approve up to ten (10) temporary events waivers to Palm
Desert Municipal Code (PDMC) Sections 9.58.010 and 9.58.020
(Consumption/Possession of Alcoholic Beverages on Public Property) at the Galen
Building (72567 Highway 111) as needed for fiscal year 2023/2024.
Authorize the City Manager to execute the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage
Control (ABC) documents or other documents to effectuate the action herein, as required.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On March 25, 2021, the City of Palm Desert entered into a lease agreement with the Artists
Council for the Galen Building and garden/pavilion located at 72559 Highway 111 (APNs 640-
370-002 and 640-370-001). The Artists Council uses the building as a public destination of art,
education, and entertainment for residents and visitors.
As part of its programming, the Artists Council hosts events throughout the year, at which
alcohol is often served. To serve alcohol at a City owned facility, a waiver to PDMC Sections
9.58.010 and 9.58.020 (Consumption/Possession of Alcoholic Beverages on Public Property)
must be approved by the City Council. In addition to the City Council’s waiver, the Artists
Council will need to obtain permits from the ABC. Since the City is the property owner of the
facility, it must approve the Artists Council’s ABC applications and the City Council has
approved temporary waivers for alcohol consumption at this location in the past.
Approval of this staff report will provide the appropriate waivers for the Artists Council to serve
alcohol at its City owned facility and to secure the required permits from ABC.
Staff will work with the Artists Council to ensure that it will have the required liquor liability
insurance information on file with the City prior to any events. Each ABC application will be
subject to final approval by the City Manager.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 22, 2023
PREPARED BY: Celina Cabrera, Management Analyst
REQUEST: AWARD AGREEMENT FOR HVAC MECHANICAL SYSTEMS WITH
JOHN HARRISON CONTRACTING, INC., IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO
EXCEED $190,000 PLUS CONTINGENCY
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Award Agreement for HVAC Mechanical Systems Services with John Harrison Contracting
Inc. For a period of three years, plus two 1-year extensions at the Housing Authority
residential rental properties, in an amount not to exceed $190,000 annually plus $28,500 for
15% contingency.
2. Authorize RPM Company, the Housing Authority’s contracted management company, to
monitor the Agreement and authorize additional services within the contingency amount as
determined to be necessary due to emergency actions and/or to proactively respond to the
needs of the Properties.
3. Authorize the Executive Director to execute the Agreement and any documents necessary
to effectuate the actions taken herewith and amend the terms as may be necessary.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The Palm Desert Housing Authority (“Housing Authority”) owns 15 affordable residential housing
properties (“Properties”) in the City and accounts for 1,114 apartment units. The day-to-day
operations of the Properties are contracted with the property management group, RPM
Company. The current contract term for HVAC Mechanical System Service at the Properties
expires on June 30, 2023, and there are no remaining renewal options.
On February 16, 2023, Staff issued a Request for Proposal (“RFP”) as required by Palm Desert
Municipal Code 3.30.100 on the City’s online bid management provider, “OpenGov” and a
“Notice Inviting Proposals” was published in the Desert Sun newspaper on February 16, 2023,
and February 23, 2023. A mandatory pre-submittal meeting was held on March 1, 2023. Three

Item 1H-2
Palm Desert Housing Authority
Housing Authority- John Harrison Contracting, Inc. Maintenance Services Agreement
Page 3 of 4
Pursuant to Palm Desert Municipal Code 3.30.140, Staff evaluated all responses in comparison
to the evaluation criteria published in the RFP. After conducting interviews with the top two
ranked proposers, John Harrison Contracting Inc. (“JHC”) demonstrated to be the most qualified
respondent and best overall value for services demonstrated through their proposal, experience,
and past performance. JHC has serviced the Housing Authority Properties for the past ten years.
JHC is an approved Southern California Edison (“SCE”) vendor as well as Southern California
Gas Company Energy Savings Assistance Program Contractor, and an approved weatherization
contractor for both the State of California Department of Community Services and Development
as well as with Community Action Partnership of Riverside. JHC’s involvement and leveraging
resources of utility companies and government agencies offers value in the future, as it has in
the past, to extend applicable discounted services to the Housing Authority and our residents.
Additionally, JHC is a registered contractor with the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) and
is familiar with the required prevailing wage requirements.
In past HVAC agreements, there was not a provision for routine service and maintenance of the
units because SCE had a program that encompassed this task at no charge to the Authority.
The SCE program is currently unfunded and therefore the RFP was written with a requirement
of two routine maintenance services on all units each calendar year. After receiving the cost
proposal and data of service calls over the past 12 months, Staff determined that service of the
units once a year will be sufficient. Staff contacted JHC and asked for a revision of their cost
proposal to include service of all units once a year, rather than twice.
Revised Cost Proposal
John Harrison Contracting, Inc. $190,000
Staff recommends the award of a three-year General Services Agreement in an annual amount
not to exceed $218,500 (includes an annual cost of $190,000 and $28,500 for 15% contingency)
to John Harrison Contracting, Inc. and authorize RPM company to monitor the Agreement and
authorize additional services, as determined to be necessary due to emergency actions and/or
to proactively respond to the needs of the Properties. Additional Services include unit repairs
and unit replacements beyond that which is already included in the proposal, and other
emergency service responses that may be required. At the expiration of three years, the
Authority reserves the right to extend the Agreement for two additional one-year terms.
Commission Recommendation:
The Housing Commission will review this recommendation at its regularly scheduled meeting on
June 14, 2023. Upon request a verbal report will be provided.

(G) Enforcement of Contract Provisions (non estoppel).
Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the Authority
to inform Contractor of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations

limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance.

liability, and if applicable, pollution liability and cyber liability, policies shall provide or be endorsed

the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any
limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to the Authority and approved
of in writing.
(L) Separation of Insureds. A severability of interests provision
must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Contractor’s insurance shall apply separately
to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s
limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.
(M) Pass Through Clause. Contractor agrees to ensure that its
sub-consultants, sub-contractors, and any other party involved with the Project who is brought
onto or involved in the project by Contractor, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and
endorsements required of Contractor. Contractor agrees to monitor and review all such coverage
and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the
requirements of this section. Contractor agrees that upon request, all agreements with
consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the Project will be submitted to the Authority
for review.

its Risk Manager reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the
amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Contractor ninety (90) days advance

Contract No. __________________
(BB&K 2019)
72500.00001\32374943.1 - 11 -
of its right to final payment. Payment shall not constitute acceptance of any Services completed

incurred by the Authority for which Contractor is liable under the Agreement; and (4) any other
sums which the Authority is entitled to recover from Contractor under the terms of the Agreement

PERFORMANCE BOND
KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS:
THAT WHEREAS, the Palm Desert Housing Authority (hereinafter referred to as
“Authority”) has awarded to John Harrison Contracting, Inc., (hereinafter referred to as the
“Contractor”) _______________________ an agreement for Heating, Ventilation and Air
Conditioning Mechanical Services (hereinafter referred to as the “Project”).
WHEREAS, the work to be performed by the Contractor is more particularly set forth in
the Contract Documents for the Project dated July 1, 2023, (hereinafter referred to as “Contract
Documents”), the terms and conditions of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference;
and
WHEREAS, the Contractor is required by said Contract Documents to perform the terms
thereof and to furnish a bond for the faithful performance of said Contract Documents.
NOW, THEREFORE, we, _______________, the undersigned Contractor and
_____________________________________________ as Surety, a corporation organized and
duly authorized to transact business under the laws of the State of California, are held and firmly
bound unto the Authority in the sum of ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY THOUSAND DOLLARS,
($190,000), said sum being not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the total amount of the
Contract, for which amount well and truly to be made, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors and
administrators, successors and assigns, jointly and severally, firmly by these presents.
THE CONDITION OF THIS OBLIGATION IS SUCH, that, if the Contractor, his or its heirs,
executors, administrators, successors or assigns, shall in all things stand to and abide by, and
well and truly keep and perform the covenants, conditions and agreements in the Contract
Documents and any alteration thereof made as therein provided, on its part, to be kept and
performed at the time and in the manner therein specified, and in all respects according to their
intent and meaning; and shall faithfully fulfill all obligations including the one-year guarantee of all
materials and workmanship; and shall indemnify and save harmless the Authority, the City, its
elected or appointed officers, and their respective agents, officials, employees, volunteers and
representatives, as stipulated in said Contract Documents, then this obligation shall become null
and void; otherwise it shall be and remain in full force and effect.
As a condition precedent to the satisfactory completion of the Contract Documents, unless
otherwise provided for in the Contract Documents, the above obligation shall hold good for a
period of one (1) year after the acceptance of the work by the Authority, during which time if
Contractor shall fail to make full, complete, and satisfactory repair and replacements and totally
protect the Authority from loss or damage resulting from or caused by defective materials or faulty
workmanship, Surety shall undertake and faithfully fulfill all such obligations. The obligations of
Surety hereunder shall continue so long as any obligation of Contractor remains. Nothing herein
shall limit the Authority’s rights or the Contractor or Surety’s obligations under the Contract, law
or equity, including, but not limited to, California Code of Civil Procedure section 337.15.
Whenever Contractor shall be, and is declared by the Authority to be, in default under the
Contract Documents, the Surety shall remedy the default pursuant to the Contract Documents, or
shall promptly, at the Authority’s option:

bidder, the Surety and the Authority, and make available as work progresses
sufficient funds to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the
contract price, including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable.
The term “balance of the contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the
total amount payable to Contractor by the Authority under the Contract and any
modification thereto, less any amount previously paid by the Authority to the
Contractor and any other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.
(3) Permit the Authority to complete the Project in any manner consistent with local,

which may be proposed by Surety in fulfillment of its obligations in the event of default by the
Contractor.
Surety shall not utilize Contractor in completing the Project nor shall Surety accept a bid
from Contractor for completion of the Project if the Authority, when declaring the Contractor in
default, notifies Surety of the Authority’s objection to Contractor’s further participation in the
completion of the Project.
The Surety, for value received, hereby stipulates and agrees that no change, extension of
time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Documents or to the Project to be
performed thereunder shall in any way affect its obligations on this bond, and it does hereby waive
notice of any such change, extension of time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract

COVER LETTER
Dear Palm Desert Housing Authority,
Ensuring that Palm Desert Housing Authority (“Authority”) residents, which primarily consist of seniors
and fixed income tenants, have access to conditioned air is vital. The residents live in an area where the
temperatures during the summer soar over 110 degrees and dip near freezing in the winter – proper
operation and extending the life expectancy of existing and new qualified Heating, Ventilation, and Air
Conditioning (HVAC) units is critical and can be accomplished through proper installation and
maintenance.
The Authority issued a Request for Proposal (RFP), seeking the most qualified HVAC Company to service,
replace, and maintain the HVAC equipment for its properties. The Authority will award a contract to a
service company that is cost effective, and has the experience, knowledge, and skillset to install and
service HVAC units according to California and manufacturer’s standards, resulting in energy and bill
savings to tenants, and cost savings to the Authority by minimizing the need to replace the equipment
prematurely.
John Harrison Contracting (JHC), Inc., a certified minority owned company, registered with the
Department of Industrial Relations, has proven experience achieving the high standards sought out by the
Authority. With over 35 years of experience, including ten years servicing the properties owned by the
Authority, JHC has assisted thousands of households improve their quality of life and save money by
repairing, maintaining, and replacing old inefficient HVAC systems with new high-efficiency units in the
counties of San Bernardino and Riverside. JHC has continuously achieved its contractual obligations by
delivering timely, quality, and professional services. As a result, JHC’s clients, which include Southern
California Edison Co, Southern California Gas Co, the State of California, and RPM Company have
continuously extended and expanded JHC’s role in their HVAC service and replacement plans.
On behalf of the management team and staff at JHC, we thank you for the opportunity to submit a
proposal to service the public housing properties in the city of Palm Desert. We believe our proposal
meets or exceeds the RFP requirements and our years of experience in this industry including servicing
the Authority’s properties for the past four years, our ability to leverage the utility’s energy efficiency
programs, and economies of scale leveraging opportunities with suppliers and distributors will
demonstrate we are highly qualified to perform the services outlined in the RFP.
Should you have any questions regarding the RFP response, including JHC’s extensive experience, our
company’s green initiatives, safety and social responsibility programs, or the job creation strategy, please
do not hesitate to contact me at (760) 322-2653.

PROPOSED METHOD TO ACCOMPLISH THE WORK
JHC has been servicing the Authority’s facilities under contract and through the utilities’ ESA Program
since 2013. During this timeframe, JHC has replaced hundreds of HVAC units at minimal cost to the
Authority. The scheduling and planning of the work to be completed is as important as the actual
replacement of the equipment in order to minimize disruption to the residents and property management
team. Our single point of contact, Linda Jasso, has over 10 years of experience managing large projects
and works directly with the RPM property managers or a designee to plan the work.
Typically, our Field Technical Supervisor (FTS) who has over 10-years’ experience installing, servicing, and
maintaining HVAC equipment or our Lead Technicians will diagnose and repair the equipment at the
Authority’s facilities. Allowing our staff to become well versed on the facilities and the equipment,
resulting in timely resolutions to most service needs.
After completing the diagnostic, unless otherwise indicated by the Authority or its designee, JHC will
submit its findings, recommendations, and quote before proceeding with the work. JHC will continue
utilize its two-man crews to complete the work. Each crew has a lead technician who typically has over
10 years’ experience. The work at the Authority’s properties will continue to be monitored for quality by
the FTS and Quality Control Specialist.
Attachment 2
Item 1H-43
10 | Page
The work will continue to be conducted within the rules adopted in the Palm Desert Municipal Code
Section 9.24.070 or according to the Authority or RPM Company standards. JHC plans to utilize the
procedures listed in Appendix A, approved by RPM Company.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
JHC services a diverse customer base that includes low-to-middle income, disabled, and non-English
speaking customers. Our customer service representatives and field representatives receive annual
customer service and sensitivity training to ensure we provide high quality customer service to all
customers. Each field crew, as well as the customer service representatives have the ability to
communicate with customers in Spanish and English. JHC works with a translation service company for
individuals who need assistance in languages other than English and Spanish.
JHC clients and/or customers will contact JHC directly for any HVAC service. A representative will attempt
to troubleshoot the potential issue over the phone, and if the issue cannot be resolved, the representative
will dispatch a technician to diagnose the equipment.
QUALITY CONTROL
JHC’s compliance group monitors quality, as well as compliance with specific client requirements and local
code. The Field Technical Supervisor and Quality Control Specialists monitor the quality of the work
performed at the time of installation and post installation. Post installation quality control efforts are
typically done on the same day of the visit to minimize disruption to customers and only with customer’s
prior approval.
The compliance group also monitors the quality of all paperwork to ensure the information is accurate,
and that we have account for all required documentation, including city or county permits, and HERS
verification. To ensure all units meet JHC’s quality requirements, JHC requires that all installations are
verified by a third party HERS rater. Service information is filed in a secure manner to ensure customer
and/or client information remains confidential.
Utilizing lessons learned and best practices, JHC has implemented controls to its permit process to ensure
compliance with RPM’s requirements. At every step of the process, our Finance Department verifies and
reconciles all permit activity to ensure data is accurately tracked and reported. Additionally, the backup
documentation is uploaded to JHC’s database for all jobs.
The following section describes the steps JHC has implemented to ensure compliance.
Database Permit Applications Upload Documents Verify HERS Finalize Permits Reporting
Monthly Reconciliation
Attachment 2
Item 1H-44
11 | Page
a.Internal Database
Our internal system includes workflow step driven controls to ensure all steps are verified; preventing the
job to proceed without first completing the dependent step. Additionally, the database will generate alerts
and tasks to Supervisors/Managers if a deadline is nearing or missed. This would include an alert when the
permit is nearing expiration to ensure action is taken to finalize the permit or seek an extension. If an item
reaches a second notice, the system will generate a task to the Supervisor/Manager requiring they update
the database with the action taken to address the task.
b.Permit Applications
Permit applications are scanned and digitally stored for record keeping. The pertinent information from the
application is captured in our internal database and utilized for both tracking and reporting.
c.Permit / Job Cards / Receipts
Each document is scanned and digitally stored in our internal database. Additionally, our Finance
Department verifies all documents have been correctly captured and uploaded prior to invoicing for any
job.
d.HERS Verification
100% of all jobs requiring HERS verification will be confirmed against the corresponding HERS provider’s
database by the Permit Coordinators. The CFR forms will be downloaded from the provider’s database and
uploaded to our internal database.
e.Finalizing Permits
JHC utilizes Field Compliance Coordinators (FCC) to coordinate the final inspection with the customers and
building inspectors. Upon confirming the inspection passed, the coordinator will update our internal
database and upload the backup documentation.
Additionally, the FCC will track any jobs requiring the completion of corrective action to meet building code.
This information is captured in our database and utilized by the Compliance Department to identify areas
of deficiency and conduct root-cause analysis. Any deficiencies, whether at the department or employee
level are communicated to the leadership team, along with a proposed plan for correction, which may
include training, and/or changes to JHC’s internal procedures.
f.Reporting
JHC’s database includes dashboards and reports with an automatic report generation function. Dashboards
and reports are available to view all jobs requiring permits, the status of each permit, status of HERS
verification, upcoming expiration dates, and other key compliance items. The database tracks and reports
on a real-time basis and generates weekly reports that it emails to key stakeholders to provide a holistic
view of all permits and their respective status to ensure the proper action is taken to remain within
compliance.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE PLAN
The efficiency of a Central Air Conditioner begins to degrade after the first year of installation, and
continues to lose efficiency every year after if not properly maintained. Failure to keep the units tuned
up and maintained may affect the units expected lifespan and reduce the unit’s efficiency; resulting in
higher utility bills and repair costs.
JHC is proposing a maintenance plan to keep air conditioners operating at peak efficiency, ensure
continued operation throughout the unit’s expected life span, improve health and comfort, and to
educate the tenants on operation efficiency.
JHC proposes to perform semi-annual maintenance services to central AC units in working condition that
are free of major defects, at the Authority’s properties with central HVAC equipment.
PROPOSED PROCESS (HIGH-LEVEL)
•JHC will utilize its tracking database to monitor, track, and schedule service
•JHC will work directly with the onsite property managers to schedule the appointments
•During the 1st and 3rd quarter of each year (or as requested by the Authority or its designee), JHC
will provide the RPM team a maintenance schedule for each participating complex
•RPM/property managers will notify each tenant with sufficient notice to guarantee JHC
technicians access to the AC equipment
•JHC will begin performing maintenance during the 2nd and 4th quarter of each year to prepare the
units for the cooling and winter season.
DESCRIPTION OF MAINTENANCE WORK
HVAC Unit Education
•Check and clean condenser
and coil
•Check and clean blower
components
•Check and tighten electrical
connections
•Lubricate all moving parts
•Inspect and flush condensate

•Check unit for leaks
•Check t-stat operation
•T-stat temp settings
•Filter replacement
•Other cooling /

•Check Operation
Optional – Duct System
•Test
•Seal as applicable
PLAN FOR ON-CALL AND EMERGENCY SERVICES
JHC recognizes the urgency of repairing inoperative units during the extreme climate periods.
We will make every effort to resolve these matters in a timely fashion to reduce any health and comfort
risks. Because of the complexity of HVAC equipment, we strongly recommend contacting us via telephone.
However, clients will have the option to email our service center.
Attachment 2
Item 1H-46
13 | Page
JHC will leverage its existing infrastructure that allows clients access to its on-call technician by contacting
our office and selecting the emergency after-hours service phone prompt. When making that selection,
the caller will be routed directly to our technician who can provide immediate assistance or if unavailable,
can call back the caller. JHC will make every effort to return all calls within 60-minutes of receiving the
call.
In case of emergencies, JHC will make every effort to offer same day resolution to inquiries received before
10:00 a.m. and in situations where it is not possible, the inquiry will be scheduled within 24-hours after
the client speaks to the representative, except when requested by the client/customer. If the unit cannot
be repaired within a reasonable period (e.g. requires specialty parts), JHC will collaborate with the client
to set-up temporary cooling solutions to the home until the unit is repaired.
LEVERAGING UTILITY AND STATE PROGRAMS
Energy efficiency programs date back to the energy crises of the 1970s, when soaring energy prices led
utilities to promote energy conservation so customers could reduce their energy consumption to lessen
the impact of the higher energy rates. The programs have grown significantly since their introduction
back in the 1970s; today energy efficiency is recognized worldwide as a key and valuable energy resource.
JHC is honored to be working alongside utilities, the State of California, and their partners for over 35-
years in these fundamental energy efficiency programs that help improve the lives of many, including
senior and low-income households. JHC is proud to be an authorized HVAC replacement contractor for
SCE’s ESA Program that offers HVAC replacement services at no cost to applicants.
The leveraging of the ESA program reduces the cost to the Authority when replacing HVAC systems and
has resulted in hundreds of thousands in savings for the hundreds of systems that JHC has replaced at the
Authority’s properties.
Through these long-standing relationships, the Authority can observe cost savings through:
•Utility / state rebates for high efficiency HVAC equipment, when funds available
•Leveraging
o Receive other services through the ESA Program services, such as free refrigerators,
lightbulbs, and weatherization
o Obtain rebates for Multi-family buildings offered by the utilities and state of California
o Observe cost savings through JHC’s volume purchasing power resulting in economies of
scale discounts for high quality HVAC equipment and appliances
o Replace furnace at minimal costs at the time of air conditioner replacement to avoid
future labor, permit, and Title 24 charges

MEETINGS OF THE PALM DESERT HOUSING COMMISSION DURING
FY 2023-24
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Housing Authority Resolution establishing dates for regular meetings of the Palm Desert
Housing Commission during FY 2023-24.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On June 9, 2022, the Board of the Palm Desert Housing Authority (the “Authority”) considered
and adopted Resolution No. HA-107 amending and restating the Bylaws of the Palm Desert
Housing Commission (“Commission”).
The Commission’s Bylaws identify that regular meetings are to be held each month on the
second Wednesday of each month. On an annual basis, the Commission has adopted the
schedule of its regular meeting for the calendar year to allow for planning. The attached
resolution provides a schedule of the second Wednesday dates generally, allowing Commission,
the public, and staff to plan accordingly to conduct business and any required noticing. The FY
2023-24 schedule considers the routine practice of cancelling the meeting in August for a
summer recess. It is understood that if Authority business needs to be conducted, the Authority
Board retains authority to convene or suspend a meeting on any date that is not listed herein.
Staff recommends the Authority Board adopt the attached resolution.

JOINT CONSIDERATION
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 22, 2023
PREPARED BY: John Ramont, Deputy Director of Finance
REQUEST: ESTABLISH QUALIFIED VENDOR LIST FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023-24 AND
2024-25
RECOMMENDATION:
1.
2.
Approve the Qualified Vendor List for the City of Palm Desert, Successor Agency to the Palm
Desert Redevelopment Agency, the Palm Desert Housing Authority, and Desert Willow Golf
Resort in accordance with Ordinance No. 1392 (Purchasing Ordinance).
Authorize City Manager to approve additional qualified submissions from vendors throughout
the fiscal year.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On April 13, 2023, the City Council approved Ordinance 1392, which revised the Palm Desert
Municipal Code Title 3, Chapter 3.30, governing the purchasing and contracting policies of the
City. The policy changes are intended to centralize and streamline the procurement process.
To ensure competitive pricing and improve accessibility for vendors to participate, the policy
authorizes the Purchasing Officer to establish qualified vendor lists to enable informal bidding
opportunities and provide a ready pool of vendors for recurring and routine goods and services.
To be considered for inclusion on the Qualified Vendor List, vendors submit an application
through the OpenGov procurement platform on the City’s website. Vendors must include basic
information so staff can evaluate their capabilities and pricing. Vendors may remain on the list
for no more than 24 months. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis; therefore, staff will
endeavor to update the list continuously with City Manager approval and request Council
ratification quarterly in order to ensure vendors are accessible within the policy limits.
The services and goods offered by the vendors on this list are for project and non-project related
services and purchases of supplies and materials that do not exceed an aggregated amount of
$250,000 per vendor. The procurement of goods and/or services valued at more than $250,000
will follow prescribed procedures which require approval of City Council.
Item 1J-1
Page 2 of 2
Approve Qualified Vendor List
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this action as potential purchases and contract
amounts are included in the budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2023-24. Contracts for the
subsequent year are subject to appropriation pursuant to the policy.

PREPARED BY: Anthony Mejia, City Clerk
REQUEST: LETTER OF OPPOSITION TO SENATE BILL 584
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Mayor to issue a letter of opposition to Senate Bill 584 - Laborforce Housing: Short-
Term Rental Tax Law.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
At the request of the Legislative Review Committee, consisting of Mayor Pro Tem Quintanilla
and Mayor Kelly, the City Council is requested to consider authorizing the Mayor to issue a
letter of opposition to Senate Bill 584 (Limón) – Laborforce Housing: Short-Term Rental Tax
Law (“SB 584”). The League of California Cities is also in opposition to the proposed bill,
unless amended.
SB 584 would require a 15% state short-term rental (STR) occupancy tax to be collected, as
specified, and allocates the funds for the construction, acquisition, and rehabilitation of
affordable housing and renter protection programs. The proposed 15% state SRT occupancy
tax would be in addition to any Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) imposed by a municipality or
county. In Palm Desert, SB 584 would result in an occupancy tax totaling 28%.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with issuance of the proposed letter.

Member, California State Senate
1021 O Street, Room 6510
Sacramento, CA 95814
Re: SB 584 (Limón) Laborforce housing: Short-Term Rental Tax Law
Notice of OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED
Dear Senator Limón:
The City of Palm Desert must take a position of oppose unless amended on your measure SB 584, which
would impose a 15% tax on the occupancy of short-term rentals. Proceeds of the tax would be used to
provide grants for the creation of “laborforce housing.”
SB 584’s intent is laudable, and we appreciate the author’s desire to provide cities with funding for
housing development, but the ends do not always justify the means. We support continuing efforts to
reduce the cost of developing affordable housing and support the expansion of affordable housing
statewide. However, this measure takes a flawed approach by creating a statewide 15% tax on the
occupancy of short-term rentals, paid for by the renter of the property. Currently, more than 400 cities and
55 counties impose a local Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), with the most common rate being 10%. It
should be noted that current TOT rates have taken a long time to reach their current levels, often being
increased incrementally over many years.
For many cities, tourism and hospitality are essential economic drivers, resulting in cities relying on their
local TOT as a primary source of General Fund revenue. In fact, in some instances TOT can represent
over two-thirds of General Fund revenues, funding fire, police, and other essential services. Imposing a
15% statewide tax on top of existing local rates averaging 10% would cripple this critical local revenue
source for these communities by making the cumulative TOT a prohibitive fiscal burden for tourism and
hospitality.
This cost burden would effectively put crippling downward pressure on these communities by making it
unlikely these cities will be able to raise their local TOTs in the future to keep up with inflation to
appropriately fund the services that their citizens need.
Rather than directly saddling Californians and tourists with an additional tax and restricting local
government’s ability to meet the needs of their citizens, we recommend levying a tax or fee on the
activity identified in the bill as contributing to the housing crisis, the "commercial use of residential
homes and apartments for transient occupancies." The person/entity engaged in that activity is the
home/apartment owner, not the transient lodger.
For these reasons, the City of Palm Desert respectfully opposes unless amended SB 584.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Kelly
Mayor

SENATE BILL No. 584
Introduced by Senator Limón
(Coauthor: Senator Caballero)
February 15, 2023
An act to add Chapter 3.6 (commencing with Section 50535) to Part
2 of Division 31 of the Health and Safety Code, and to add Part 16
(commencing with Section 35500) to Division 2 of the Revenue and
Taxation Code, relating to housing, making an appropriation therefor,
and declaring the urgency thereof, to take effect immediately.
legislative counsel’s digest
SB 584, as amended, Limón. Laborforce housing: Short-Term Rental
Tax Law.
Existing law establishes the Department of Housing and Community
Development and sets forth its powers and duties. Existing law
establishes various programs providing assistance for, among other
things, emergency housing, multifamily housing, farmworker housing,
homeownership for very low and low-income households, and
downpayment assistance for first-time homebuyers.
This bill would enact the Laborforce Housing Financing Act of 2023,
and define “laborforce housing” as housing that, among other things,
is owned and managed by specified entities solely for the benefit of
residents and households unable to afford market rent, and whose
residents enjoy certain protections. The bill would establish, in the State
Treasury, the Laborforce Housing Fund, to be continuously appropriated
96
Item 1N-3
to the department, establish the Laborforce Housing Fund in the State
Treasury, and would make moneys in the fund available to the
department, upon appropriation by the Legislature, for the creation of
laborforce housing and other specified housing projects by public
entities, local housing authorities, and mission-driven nonprofit housing
providers, as provided. By creating a new continuously appropriated
fund, the bill would make an appropriation.
The bill would limit the use of fund moneys to construction or
rehabilitation projects that require either that all construction workers
on the project are paid at least the applicable prevailing wage rate, or
that all contractors and subcontractors at every tier will use a skilled
and trained workforce to complete the project, in accordance with
specified provisions. These certifications would expand the crime of
perjury, thereby imposing a state-mandated local program.
Existing law imposes taxes upon income and real property, and taxes
upon certain transactions and excise taxes. The Fee Collection
Procedures Law provides procedures for the collection of certain fees
and surcharges and is administered by the California Department of
Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA). Under existing law, a violation
of the Fee Collection Procedures Law is a crime.
This bill would, beginning January 1, 2025, impose a tax on the
occupancy of a short-term rental in this state at the rate of 15% of the
rental price of the short-term rental. The bill would define “short-term
rental” for this purpose to mean the occupancy of a home, house, a
room in a home or house, or other lodging that is not a hotel, inn, motel,
or bed and breakfast, in this state for a period of 30 days or less. The
bill would require a short-term rental facilitator, as defined, to collect
the tax in the case where the facilitator processes the payment for the
rental. The bill would require the operator, as defined, to collect the tax
where no facilitator processes payment for the rental. The bill would
require all revenues, less refunds and reimbursement to the CDTFA of
administration and collection costs, be deposited in the Laborforce
Housing Fund.
This bill would require the CDTFA to administer and collect the tax
pursuant to the Fee Collection Procedures Law. By expanding the
application of the crimes associated with the Fee Collection Procedures
Law, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
96
— 2 — SB 584
Item 1N-4
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act
for a specified reason.
This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an
urgency statute.
Vote: 2⁄3. Appropriation: yes no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
line 1 SECTION 1. This act shall be known as the Laborforce
line 2 Housing Financing Act of 2023.
line 3 SEC. 2. Chapter 3.6 (commencing with Section 50535) is added
line 4 to Part 2 of Division 31 of the Health and Safety Code, to read:
line 5
line 6 Chapter 3.6. Laborforce Housing
line 7
line 8 Article 1. General Provisions
line 9
line 10 50535. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
line 11 (a) The affordable housing crisis in the State of California is a
line 12 statewide problem that continues to worsen and that is causing
line 13 individual suffering and weighing down the California economy.
line 14 No locality has the ability to address this crisis on its own.
line 15 (1) California’s statewide housing crisis is exacerbated by the
line 16 commercial use of residential homes and apartments for transient
line 17 occupancies. Such commercial use of residential homes and
line 18 apartments reduces the supply of residential units available for
line 19 permanent residency and raises rents for permanent occupants.
line 20 (2) Current efforts to address the affordable housing crisis by
line 21 incentivizing private production of affordable housing by for-profit
line 22 and nonprofit developers are laudable, but they are not sufficient
line 23 on their own to alleviate the crisis. Nor are rent subsidies for
line 24 low-income tenants, while laudable, sufficient on their own to
line 25 create an adequate supply of affordable housing.
line 26 (3) The experience in other countries demonstrates that
line 27 California’s affordable housing crisis will not be resolved unless
line 28 the government plays a greater role in building and rehabilitating
line 29 affordable housing projects. The government must learn to play
line 30 this role without creating the problems that plagued public housing
line 31 projects in the past.
96
SB 584 — 3 — Item 1N-5
line 1 (b) It is the intent of the Legislature to create a state program
line 2 to finance publicly owned housing that is built sustainably with
line 3 union labor and that avoids the problems that plagued public
line 4 housing projects in the past. If successful, this program can be
line 5 expanded in the future.
line 6 (c) It is also the intent of the Legislature to impose a statewide
line 7 assessment on the commercial use of residential homes and
line 8 apartments for transient occupancy and to use the money collected
line 9 to pay for the development and rehabilitation of affordable housing
line 10 to partly replace the residential units that are not available for
line 11 permanent occupancy.
line 12 50535.1. For purposes of this chapter, the following definitions
line 13 apply:
line 14 (a) “Afford” and “affordable” mean that a household pays no
line 15 more than 30 percent of its household income on rent.
line 16 (b) “Community land trust” has the same meaning as that term
line 17 is defined in clause (ii) of subparagraph (C) of paragraph (11) of
line 18 subdivision (a) of Section 402.1 of the Revenue and Taxation
line 19 Code.
line 20 (c)
line 21 (b) “Department” means the Department of Housing and
line 22 Community Development.

line 26 of the Health and Safety Code.
line 27 (e)
line 28 (d) (1) “Laborforce housing” means housing that meets all of
line 29 the following requirements:
line 30 (A) The housing units are owned and managed by a public
line 31 entity, a local housing authority, a community land trust, or a
line 32 mission-driven not-for-profit private entity solely for the benefit
line 33 of residents and households unable to afford market rent.
line 34 (B) Each housing development contains housing units that
line 35 accommodate a mix of household income ranges, including
line 36 extremely low income, very low income, and low income, as well
line 37 as moderate income households unable to afford market rent, and
line 38 all housing units are permanently deed-restricted affordable to
line 39 households at each of those income levels to ensure that every
line 40 household pays an affordable rent.
96
— 4 — SB 584 Item 1N-6
line 1 (C) Residents of the housing units enjoy the protections set forth
line 2 in Section 50539, and shall be afforded due process prior to being
line 3 subject to eviction procedures.
line 4 (D) The housing units are protected for the duration of their
line 5 useful life, and the land associated with the housing units is
line 6 protected permanently from being sold or transferred to any private
line 7 person or for-profit entity or a public-private partnership.
line 8 (E) Residents have the right to participate directly and
line 9 meaningfully in decisionmaking affecting the operation and
line 10 management of the housing units in which they reside.
line 11 (2) “Laborforce housing” includes both new construction of
line 12 units of laborforce housing and the acquisition and rehabilitation
line 13 of existing housing units preserved as laborforce housing.
line 14 (f)

line 20 and Safety Code.

line 22 (g) “Mission-driven not-for-profit entity” means an eligible
line 23 nonprofit corporation with all of the attributes described in
line 24 subparagraph (D) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section

line 27 (h) “Moderate income” has the same meaning as the term
line 28 “persons and families of moderate income” is defined in Section
line 29 50093 of the Health and Safety Code.

line 31 (i) “Operator” means a person who is proprietor of a residential
line 32 property rented for transient occupancy, whether in the capacity
line 33 of owner, lessee, sublessee, mortgagee in possession, licensee, or
line 34 any other capacity. Where the operator performs their functions
line 35 through a managing agent of any type or character other than an
line 36 employee, the managing agent shall also be deemed an operator
line 37 for the purposes of this chapter, and shall have the same duties
line 38 and liabilities as their principal.

rehabilitation, and preservation of permanent and transitional rental housing
for lower-income households.
2) Joe Serna Jr., Farmworker Housing Grant Program – finances the new
construction, rehabilitation, and acquisition of owner-occupied and rental units
for agricultural workers, with a priority for lower-income households.
This bill:
1) Defines “laborforce housing” or “laborforce housing projects” (projects) as
housing that meets all the following requirements:
a) The housing units are owned and managed by a public entity, a local
housing authority, or a non-profit, as specified.
b) Each development contains units that accommodate a mix of housing of
household income ranges at or below moderate income. All units shall be
permanently deed-restricted affordable to households at each of those
income levels to ensure that every household pays an affordable rent.
c) Residents shall enjoy specified tenant protections outlined below.
d) The housing units are protected for the duration of their useful life, and the
land associated with the housing units is protected permanently from being
sold or transferred to any person or for-profit or public-private partnership.

decision-making affecting the operation and management of the housing
units in which they reside.
2) Defines “short-term rental” as the occupancy of a home, house, a room in a
home or house or other lodging that is not a hotel, inn, motel, or bed and
breakfast in this state for a period of 30 days or less.

Background
Developing housing that is affordable to very low- and low-income families
requires some amount of public investment. The high cost of land and
construction, as well as regulatory barriers, in California generally makes it
economically impossible to build new housing that can be sold or rented at prices
affordable to those households. The private sector sometimes provides financial
subsidies or land donations mandatorily through inclusionary zoning policies or
voluntarily through density bonus ordinances. In most cases, some amount of
public financial subsidy is needed from federal, state, and/or local governments.
Prior to 1974, the federal government invested heavily in affordable housing
construction. When those units began to deteriorate, the Housing Community and
Development Act ended most new construction of public housing and the Housing
Choice Voucher Program (Section 8) was created in its place. This new program
allowed eligible tenants to pay only a portion of their rent (based on their income)
and shifted funds from public housing authorities to the private sector. The goal
was to eliminate concentrations of low-income people in housing developments.
In 1981, the Reagan administration dismantled federal affordable housing funding.
From 1978 to 1983, the funding for low- to moderate-income housing decreased by
Item 1N-20
SB 584
Page 5
77%. In 1970, there were 300,000 more low-cost rental units (6.5 million) than
low-income renter households (6.2 million). By 1985, however, the number of
low-cost units had fallen to 5.6 million, and the number of low-income renter
households had grown to 8.9 million, a d isparity of 3.3 million units.
At the state level, California has invested significantly in affordable housing
construction and rehabilitation in recent years through the passage of one -time
discretionary actions in the budget and the passage of voter approved bond s. Only
funds from the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities program
(AHSC), federal and state low income housing tax credits, and funds from SB 2
(Atkins, Chapter 364, Statutes of 2017), are ongoing sources of funding.
Additionally, investments provided by voter approved general obligation bonds
have been fully allocated. These investments, while critical, have not made up for
decades of disinvestment from the federal level.
Comments
1) Short-term rentals and the housing crisis. Short-term rentals (STRs), such as
those listed through Airbnb and VRBO, likely have measurable and inequitable
impacts on overall housing affordability, both for rentals and homeownership.
A 2020 study by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that for that
for every 1% increase in STR listings, overall rents increase by .018% and
housing prices increase by .026%. STRs also decrease long -term housing
supply overall. Several studies analyzing individual STR markets (Los Angeles
and NYC neighborhoods) found that STRs contributed to the removal of
between 1-12.5% of a neighborhood’s housing. This may be due to the fact
that, as concluded by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, STRs motivate
property owners to convert properties away from the long-term rental market.
STRs also may impact communities of color more acutely. First, STRs may be
linked to increases in gentrification. For example, a study in Los Angeles found
that the prevalence of STRs correlated with rent hikes and gentrification in
adjacent districts. In another study of neighborhoods in New York City, the
neighborhoods in which landlords are most incentivized to convert long-term
rental units into STRs—and therefore those most at risk of rising rents and
housing costs and losing affordable housing supply—are those that are
currently gentrifying. These NYC neighborhoods were on average 71% non-
white. Second, there is documented discrimination against Black hosts on STR
platforms, in which racial prejudice based on profile names and photos reduces
frequency of reservations to Black-hosted units. These practices indicated that
that communities of color may be locked out of the potential income and equity
Item 1N-21
SB 584
Page 6
streams that benefit STR landlords, which further exacerbate the racialized
effects of gentrification in neighborhoods by the STR market.
This bill creates a new program at HCD, which would finance “laborforce”
housing units and provide grants to cities, counties, local housing authorities,
and eligible non-profits. Funds can be used for the construction of new housing
and acquisition and rehabilitation of existing housing. Laborforce housing must
be affordable to a mix of incomes at ranges from 120% area median income and
below, and shall be permanently deed restricted. All tenants in laborforce
housing projects shall enjoy specified tenant protections and all workers on
projects funded by HCD for laborforce housing must be subject to a project
labor agreement or meet skilled and trained workforce requirements.
The program is funded by a new, 15% state STR occupancy tax imposed on
STRs rented after January 1, 2025. The tax is imposed on the total amount for
which the renter retains to occupy the right to occupy an STR. Facilitators or
operators who make less than $100,000 from facilitating STRs during the prior
calendar year are not required to collect this tax. The facilitator or operators
subject to this new tax is responsible for collecting and remitting it to CTFA.
2) Appropriations amendments. This bill was amended in the Appropriations
Committee to remove community land trusts, require money in the fund to be
made available upon appropriation, and to allow HCD to use up to 5% of the
funds for administration.
FISCAL EFFECT: Appropriation: No Fiscal Com.: Yes Local: Yes
According to the Senate Appropriations Committee:
Short-Term Rental Tax Law
Unknown short-term rental tax revenue gains, potentially in the range of $150
million annually, based on preliminary projections. (deposited into the
Laborforce Housing Fund, established by this bill)
CDTFA’s administrative costs have yet to be determined. However, the
Department anticipates it would incur substantial administrative costs to
implement its provisions of the bill, minimally reaching the millions of dollars
annually (General Fund). Cost drivers would include computer programming,
notifying affected retailers, modifying tax returns, developing special notices,
preparing guidelines for staff, and answering questions from retailers and the
Item 1N-22
SB 584
Page 7
public. Ongoing administrative costs would be reimbursed from the tax
revenues prior to depositing proceeds into the Laborforce Housing Fund.
Laborforce Housing Program
HCD estimates costs of approximately $3.2 million annually for 16.0 PY of
staff to develop and administer the new grant program established by this bill,
assuming $150 million is appropriated each year. HCD staff would develop
and revise guidelines and annual notices of funding availability (NOFAs),
develop and revise processes for program monitoring, evaluate fundi ng
applications, execute standard agreements, research best practices, and conduct
ongoing compliance monitoring and enforcement. HCD indicates that the
staffing requirements would increase by an additional 2.0 PY and $374,000
each year for permanent ongoing compliance monitoring. For every $750
million allocated for the program in the aggregate, an additional 2.0 PY of
management staff would be required, at a cost of $417,000 ongoing.

ARGUMENTS IN SUPPORT: According to the author, “SB 584 creates a state
program to finance publicly owned housing and addresses our housing crisis by
developing homes for the benefit of middle and low-income Californians. This bill
creates a statewide assessment on the commercial use of residential homes and
apartments for short-term vacation rentals. The grant funds will be distributed to
counties proportionate to the amount collected in the local jurisdiction to be used
by public entities and local housing authorities to pay for the costs of construction
and rehabilitation of affordable housing.”
ARGUMENTS IN OPPOSITION: The California Housing Partnership
Corporation (CHPC) is opposed due to the labor provisions in the bill. CHPC
argues that that in the current constrained labor market, getting at least three bids
for prevailing wage contracts is a challenge. This bill would limit the eligible labor
pool even further. CHPC further notes the need to provide consistent funding for
existing, successful programs. The California Housing Consortium (CHC), writing
a letter of concerns, shares the perspective of CHPC, and further requests that the
bill be amended to only fund below market rate units. Expedia Group,
expedia.com, Hotels.com, and Vrbo, is opposed because it “creates complex and
burdensome obligations by establishing first-ever statewide assessment on STRs.”
The Western Electrical Contractors Association (WECA) is opposed because the
bill mandates the use of project labor agreements for all construction and
rehabilitation work. The California Association of Realtors are opposed but did
not state any reasons for the opposition.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 22, 2023
PREPARED BY: Jessica Gonzales, Housing Manager
REQUEST: RATIFICATION OF CONTRACT A45110 WITH DEMO UNLIMITED, INC.,
IN THE AMOUNT OF $51,683.55
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Ratify the Executive Director’s authorization of Contract A45110 entered with Demo
Unlimited, Inc., in the amount of $51,683.55 for the removal of ten carports at One Quail
Place pursuant to Section 3.30.160 of the City of Palm Desert Municipal Code.
2. Appropriate $51,683.55 from the Housing Authority’s Committed Reserve Funds to Account
Number 8714195-4331100 Housing Authority Replacement Expenditures.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
In December 2022, Staff issued a Request for Proposal (“RFP”) for the One Quail Place Parking
Lot Rehabilitation. Contract HA45140 was awarded to Jacobsson Engineering Construction Inc.,
on April 27, 2023.
In March 2023, the Housing Authority’s Property Management Group, RPM Company, brought
to the City’s attention that there were 10 carports not identified in the RFP that required removal.
These 10 carport structures were inspected by the City’s Building and Safety staff who confirmed
the risk of eminent structural integrity failure.
Pursuant to Section 3.30.160 (c ) of the Municipal Code, the Executive Director may direct staff
outside of the procurement methods when an unexpected occurrence poses clear and eminent
danger requiring immediate action to protect the health and safety of the public. The Executive
Director authorized Staff to engage a demolition contractor to remove and dispose of the carports
to mitigate the eminent Health and Safety concern. A quote was solicited from a demolition
contractor from the approved Vendor List. Unfortunately, the identified contractor was unable to
fulfill the job due to staffing shortages. A second contractor was engaged and completed the
work in early May 2023.
This recommendation ratifies the Executive Director’s approval in the total amount of $51,683.55
for the cost to have the ten (10) carports removed at One Quail Place.
Commission Recommendation:
The Housing Commission will review this recommendation at its regular meeting on June 14,
2023. Upon request, a verbal report will be provided.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact is the cost of the contract for the emergency removal of the ten carports in the

amount of $51,683.55 which will be paid from the Housing Authority Capital Replacement Fund.

at its own cost and expense, to furnish to the Authority all labor, materials, tools, equipment,
services, and incidental and customary work necessary to fully and adequately complete the
Project, including all structures and facilities necessary for the Project or described in the Contract
(hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Work”), for a Total Contract Price as specified pursuant
to this Contract. All Work shall be subject to, and performed in accordance with the above
referenced documents, as well as the exhibits attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference. The plans and specifications for the Work are further described in Exhibit “B” attached
hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Special Conditions, if any, relating to the Work

3.2.1 Change in Scope of Work. Any change in the scope of the Work, method
of performance, nature of materials or price thereof, or any other matter materially affecting the

(“Change Order”).
3.2.1.1 Change Orders. Changes to the Contract Time (as defined in
Section 3.3) or Total Contract Price shall be in the form of a written Change Order, either signed
by both parties or issued unilaterally by the Authority. No adjustment shall be made to the Contract
Time unless the delay impacts the critical path to completion and the delay was not caused in

Orders shall be accompanied by detailed supporting documentation, including but not limited to
payroll records, invoices, schedules, and any other documentation requested by the Authority for
the purpose of determining the additional costs or the impact of any delay. If the change involves
Work bid at a unit price, then the Total Contract Price shall be increased at the unit price. If there

any costs are not capable of being determined within seven (7) days, then Contractor shall request
a Change Order within seven (7) days of when the costs are capable of being determined.
3.2.2 Substitutions/”Or Equal”. Pursuant to Public Contract Code section
3400(b), the Authority may make a finding that designates certain products, things, or services by
specific brand or trade name. Unless specifically designated in this Contract, whenever any
material, process, or article is indicated or specified by grade, patent, or proprietary name or by
name of manufacturer, such Specifications shall be deemed to be used for the purpose of
facilitating the description of the material, process or article desired and shall be deemed to be
followed by the words “or equal.”
Contractor may, unless otherwise stated, offer for substitution any material, process or
article which shall be substantially equal or better in every respect to that so indicated or specified
in this Contract. However, the Authority may have adopted certain uniform standards for certain
materials, processes and articles. Contractor shall submit requests, together with substantiating
data, for substitution of any “or equal” material, process or article no later than thirty-five (35) days
after award of the Contract. To facilitate the construction schedule and sequencing, some
requests may need to be submitted before thirty-five (35) days after award of Contract. Provisions
regarding submission of “or equal” requests shall not in any way authorize an extension of time
for performance of this Contract. If a proposed “or equal” substitution request is rejected,
Contractor shall be responsible for providing the specified material, process or article. The burden
of proof as to the equality of any material, process or article shall rest with Contractor.
The Authority has the complete and sole discretion to determine if a material, process or
article is an “or equal” material, process or article that may be substituted. Data required to
substantiate requests for substitutions of an “or equal” material, process or article data shall
include a signed affidavit from Contractor stating that, and describing how, the substituted “or
equal” material, process or article is equivalent to that specified in every way except as listed on
the affidavit. Substantiating data shall include any and all illustrations, specifications, and other
relevant data including catalog information which describes the requested substituted “or equal”
material, process or article, and substantiates that it is an “or equal” to the material, process or
article. The substantiating data must also include information regarding the durability and lifecycle
cost of the requested substituted “or equal” material, process or article. Failure to submit all the
required substantiating data, including the signed affidavit, to the Authority in a timely fashion will
result in the rejection of the proposed substitution.
Contractor shall bear all of the Authority’s costs associated with the review of substitution
requests. Contractor shall be responsible for all costs related to a substituted “or equal” material,
process or article. Contractor is directed to the Special Conditions (if any) to review any findings
made pursuant to Public Contract Code section 3400.
3.3 Period of Performance and Liquidated Damages. Contractor shall perform and
complete all Work under this Contract within thirty (30) days, beginning the effective date of the
Notice to Proceed (“Contract Time”). Contractor shall perform its Work in strict accordance with
any completion schedule, construction schedule or project milestones developed by the Authority.
Such schedules or milestones may be included as part of Exhibits “A” attached hereto, or may be
provided separately in writing to Contractor. Contractor agrees that if such Work is not completed
within the aforementioned Contract Time and/or pursuant to any such completion schedule,
construction schedule or project milestones developed pursuant to provisions of the Contract, it
is understood, acknowledged and agreed that the Authority will suffer damage. Pursuant to
Government Code Section 53069.85, Contractor shall pay to the Authority as fixed and liquidated

all Work under this Contract in a skillful and workmanlike manner, and consistent with the
standards generally recognized as being employed by professionals in the same discipline in the
State of California. Contractor represents and maintains that it is skilled in the professional calling
necessary to perform the Work. Contractor warrants that all employees and subcontractors shall
have sufficient skill and experience to perform the Work assigned to them. Finally, Contractor
represents that it, its employees and subcontractors have all licenses, permits, qualifications and
approvals of whatever nature that are legally required to perform the Work, including a City
Business License, and that such licenses and approvals shall be maintained throughout the term
of this Contract. Contractor shall perform, at its own cost and expense and without reimbursement
from the Authority, any work necessary to correct errors or omissions which are caused by
Contractor’s failure to comply with the standard of care provided for herein. Any employee who
is determined by the Authority to be uncooperative, incompetent, a threat to the safety of persons
or the Work, or any employee who fails or refuses to perform the Work in a manner acceptable to
the Authority, shall be promptly removed from the Project by Contractor and shall not be
re-employed on the Work.
3.5 Control and Payment of Subordinates; Contractual Relationship. The Authority
retains Contractor on an independent contractor basis and Contractor is not an employee of
Authority. Any additional personnel performing the work governed by this Contract on behalf of
Contractor shall at all times be under Contractor’s exclusive direction and control. Contractor
shall pay all wages, salaries, and other amounts due such personnel in connection with their
performance under this Contract and as required by law. Contractor shall be responsible for all
reports and obligations respecting such additional personnel, including, but not limited to: social
security taxes, income tax withholding, unemployment insurance, and workers’ compensation
insurance.

provided for herein. On or before the fifth (5th) day of each month, Contractor shall submit to the
Authority an itemized application for payment in the format supplied by the Authority indicating
the amount of Work completed since commencement of the Work or since the last progress
payment. These applications shall be supported by evidence which is required by this Contract
and such other documentation as the Authority may require. The Contractor shall certify that the
Work for which payment is requested has been done and that the materials listed are stored
where indicated. Contractor may be required to furnish a detailed schedule of values upon
request of the Authority and in such detail and form as the Authority shall request, showing the
quantities, unit prices, overhead, profit, and all other expenses involved in order to provide a basis
for determining the amount of progress payments. Contractor shall submit its final invoice to the
Authority within thirty (30) days from the last date of the Work or termination in accordance w ith
this Contract and failure by the Contractor to submit a timely invoice shall constitute a waiver of
its right to final payment.
3.7.3 Prompt Payment. The Authority shall review and pay all progress payment
requests in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 20104.50 of the California Public
Contract Code. No progress payments will be made for Work not completed in accordance with

the proper payment of its employees, subcontractors, suppliers or others.

deducted and retained by the Authority, and the remainder will be paid to Contractor. All Contract
retention shall be released and paid to Contractor and subcontractors pursuant to California
Public Contract Code section 7107.
3.7.5 Other Retentions. In addition to Contract retentions, the Authority may
deduct from each progress payment an amount necessary to protect the Authority from loss
because of: (1) liquidated damages which have accrued as of the date of the application for
payment; (2) any sums expended by the Authority in performing any of Contractor’s obligations
under the Contract which Contractor has failed to perform or has performed inadequately; (3)
defective Work not remedied; (4) stop notices as allowed by state law; (5) reasonable doubt that

Authority, incurred by the Authority for which Contractor is liable under the Contract; and (11) any
other sums which the Authority is entitled to recover from Contractor under the terms of the
Contract or pursuant to state law, including Section 1727 of the California Labor Code. The failure
by the Authority to deduct any of these sums from a progress payment shall not constitute a
waiver of the Authority’s right to such sums.
3.7.6 Substitutions for Contract Retentions. In accordance with California Public
Contract Code section 22300, the Authority will permit the substitution of securities for any monies
withheld by the Authority to ensure performance under the Contract. At the request and expense
of Contractor, securities equivalent to the amount withheld shall be deposited with the Authority,
or with a state or federally chartered bank in California as the escrow agent, and thereafter the
Authority shall then pay such monies to Contractor as they come due. Upon satisfactory
completion of the Contract, the securities shall be returned to Contractor. For purposes of this
Section and Section 22300 of the Public Contract Code, the term “satisfactory completion of the

contract” shall mean the time the Authority has issued written final acceptance of the Work and
filed a Notice of Completion as required by law and provisions of this Contract. Contractor shall
be the beneficial owner of any securities substituted for monies withheld and shall receive any
interest thereon. The escrow agreement used for the purposes of this Section shall be in the form
provided by the Authority.
3.7.7 Payment to Subcontractors. Contractor shall pay all subcontractors for and
on account of work performed by such subcontractors in accordance with the terms of their
respective subcontracts and as provided for in Section 7108.5 of the California Business and
Professions Code. Such payments to subcontractors shall be based on the measurements and
estimates made and progress payments provided to Contractor pursuant to this Contract.
3.7.8 Title to Work. As security for partial, progress, or other payments, title to
Work for which such payments are made shall pass to the Authority at the time of payment. To
the extent that title has not previously been vested in the Authority by reason of payments, full
title shall pass to the Authority at delivery of the Work at the destination and time specified in this
Contract. Such transferred title shall in each case be good, free and clear from any and all security
interests, liens, or other encumbrances. Contractor promises and agrees that it will not pledge,
hypothecate, or otherwise encumber the items in any manner that would result in any lien, security
interest, charge, or claim upon or against said items. Such transfer of title shall not imply
acceptance by the Authority, nor relieve Contractor from the responsibility to strictly comply with
the Contract, and shall not relieve Contractor of responsibility for any loss of or damage to items.
3.7.9 Labor and Material Releases. Contractor shall furnish the Authority with
labor and material releases from all subcontractors performing work on, or furnishing materials
for, the Work governed by this Contract prior to final payment by the Authority.
3.8 Labor

Labor Code Section 1720 et seq., and 1770 et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations,
Title 8, Section 16000 et seq., (“Prevailing Wage Laws”), which require the payment of prevailing
wage rates and the performance of other requirements on “public works” and “maintenance”
projects. Since the Work is being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or
“maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and since the total compensation
is $1000 or more for a public works project or maintenance project, Contractor agrees to fully
comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws. The Authority shall provide Contractor with a copy of
the prevailing rates of per diem wages in effect at the commencement of this Contract. Contractor
shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification or type
of worker needed to execute the Services available to interested parties upon request, and shall
post copies at Contractor’s principal place of business and at the project site. Contractor shall
defend, indemnify and hold the Authority, the City and their respective officers, agents,
employees, volunteers and representatives free and harmless from any claim or liability arising
out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws. Contractor and any
subcontractor shall forfeit a penalty of up to $200 per calendar day or portion thereof for each
worker paid less than the prevailing wage rates.
3.8.2 Apprenticeable Crafts. When Contractor employs workmen in an
apprenticeable craft or trade, Contractor shall comply with the provisions of Section 1777.5 of the
California Labor Code with respect to the employment of properly registered apprentices upon

occupations shall be with Contractor. The Contractor or any subcontractor that is determined by
the Labor Commissioner to have knowingly violated Section 1777.5 shall forfeit as a civil penalty
an amount not exceeding $100 for each full calendar day of noncompliance, or such greater
amount as provided by law.
3.8.3 Hours of Work. Contractor is advised that eight (8) hours labor constitutes
a legal day’s work. Pursuant to Section 1813 of the California Labor Code, Contractor shall forfeit
a penalty of $25.00 per worker for each day that each worker is permitted to work more than eight
(8) hours in any one calendar day and forty (40) hours in any one calendar week, except when
payment for overtime is made at not less than one and one-half (1-1/2) times the basic rate for
that worker.
3.8.4 Payroll Records. Contractor and each subcontractor shall keep an
accurate payroll record, showing the name, address, social security number, work classification,
straight time and overtime hours worked each day and week, and the actual per diem wages paid
to each journeyman, apprentice, worker, or other employee employed by him or her in connection
with the public work. The payroll records shall be certified and shall be available for inspection at
all reasonable hours at the principal office of Contractor in the manner provided in Labor Code
section 1776. In the event of noncompliance with the requirements of this section, Contractor
shall have 10 days in which to comply subsequent to receipt of written notice specifying in what
respects such Contractor must comply with this section. Should noncompliance still be evident
after such 10-day period, Contractor shall, as a penalty to the Authority, forfeit not more than
$100.00 for each calendar day or portion thereof, for each worker, until strict compliance is
effectuated. The amount of the forfeiture is to be determined by the Labor Commissioner. A
contractor who is found to have violated the provisions of law regarding wages on Public Works
with the intent to defraud shall be ineligible to bid on Public Works contracts for a period of one to
three years as determined by the Labor Commissioner. Upon the request of the Division of
Apprenticeship Standards or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, such penalties shall
be withheld from progress payments then due. The responsibility for compliance with this section
is on Contractor. In accordance with Labor Code section 1771.4, the Contractor and each
subcontractor shall furnish the certified payroll records directly to the DIR on a weekly basis and
in the format prescribed by the DIR, which may include electronic submission. The requirement
to submit certified payroll records directly to the Labor Commissioner under Labor Code section
1771.4 shall not apply to work performed on a public works project that is exempt pursuant to the
small project exemption specified in Labor Code Section 1771.4.
3.8.5 Contractor and Subcontractor Registration. Pursuant to Labor Code
sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, all contractors and subcontractors that wish to bid on, be listed in a
bid proposal, or enter into a contract to perform public work must be registered with the
Department of Industrial Relations. No bid will be accepted nor any contract entered into without
proof of the contractor’s and subcontractors’ current registration with the Department of Industrial
Relations to perform public work. Contractor is directed to review, fill out and execute the Public
Works Contractor Registration Certification attached hereto as Exhibit “E” prior to contract
execution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the contractor registration requirements mandated by
Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1 shall not apply to work performed on a public works
project that is exempt pursuant to the small project exemption specified in Labor Code Sections
1725.5 and 1771.1.
3.8.6 Labor Compliance; Stop Orders. This Project is subject to compliance
monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. It shall be the Contractor’s
sole responsibility to evaluate and pay the cost of complying with all labor compliance

of Industrial Relations against Contractor or any subcontractor that affect Contractor’s
performance of Work, including any delay, shall be Contractor’s sole responsibility. Any delay

Class II or Class III disposal site; (2) subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site differing
from those indicated by the Authority; and (3) unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature
at the site, significantly different from those ordinarily encountered in such contract work. Upon
notification, the Authority shall promptly investigate the conditions to determine whether a Change
Order is appropriate. In the event of a dispute, Contractor shall not be excused from any
scheduled completion date and shall proceed with all Work to be performed under the Contract,
but shall retain all rights provided by the Contract or by law for making protests and resolving the
dispute.
3.9.7 Underground Utility Facilities. To the extent required by Section 4215 of

provided for in this Contract.
3.9.9 State Recycling Mandates. Contractor shall comply with State Recycling
Mandates. Any recyclable materials/debris collected by the Contractor that can be feasibly
diverted via reuse or recycling must be hauled by the appropriate handler for reuse or recycling.
3.9.10 Inspection Of Site. Contractor has visited sites where Work is to be
performed and has become acquainted with all conditions affecting the Work. Contractor warrants
that it has made such examinations as it deems necessary to determine the condition of the Work
sites, its accessibility to materials, workmen and equipment, and to determine the Contractor’s
ability to protect existing surface and subsurface improvements. No claim for allowances–time or
money–will be allowed as to such matters.
3.9.11 Field Measurements. Contractor shall make field measurements, verify
field conditions and shall carefully compare such field measurements and conditions and other
information known to Contractor with the Contract Documents before commencing activities.

determines that it has completed the incomplete or unsatisfactory Work, Contractor may request
a re-inspection by the Authority. Once the Work is acceptable to the Authority, the Authority shall
pay to Contractor the Total Contract Price remaining to be paid, less any amount which the
Authority may be authorized or directed by law to retain.

between the Authority and Contractor regarding performance of the Work, or any alleged change
in the Work, Contractor shall timely perform the disputed work and shall give written notice of a
claim for additional compensation for the work to the Authority within three (3) days after
commencement of the disputed work. Contractor’s failure to give written notice within the three
(3)-day period constitutes an agreement by Contractor that it will receive no extra compensation
for the disputed work and shall constitute a waiver of the right to further pursue the claim under
the Contract or at law.
3.11.1.1 Intent. Effective January 1, 1991, Section 20104 et seq., of the
California Public Contract Code prescribes a process utilizing informal conferences, non-binding
judicial supervised mediation, and judicial arbitration to resolve disputes on construction claims
of $375,000 or less. Effective January 1, 2017, Section 9204 of the Public Contract Code
prescribes a process for negotiation and mediation to resolve disputes on construction claims.
The intent of this Section is to implement Sections 20104 et seq. and Section 9204 of the
California Public Contract Code. This Section shall be construed to be consistent with all
applicable law, including but not limited to these statutes.

3.14.2.8 Enforcement of Contract Provisions (non-estoppel). Contractor

features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or
other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific
reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given
issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other
coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Contractor maintains higher limits than the minimums
shown above, the Authority requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits
maintained by the Contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified
minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the Authority.

coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any
limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to the Authority and approved
of in writing.
3.14.2.13 Separation of Insureds. A severability of interests provision
must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Contractor’s insurance shall apply separately
to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s
limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.
3.14.2.14 Pass Through Clause. Contractor agrees to ensure that its sub-
consultants, sub-contractors, and any other party involved with the Project who is brought onto or
involved in the project by Contractor, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and
endorsements required of Contractor. Contractor agrees to monitor and review all such coverage
and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the
requirements of this section. Contractor agrees that upon request, all agreements with
consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the Project will be submitted to the Authority
for review.

insurance requirements, the change shall go into effect immediately and require no advanced
written notice.

considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by the Authority.

prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 22, 2023
PREPARED BY: Veronica Chavez, Director of Finance
REQUEST: APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO CONTRACT NO. C37610 WITH
WILLDAN FINANCIAL SERVICES FOR COMPREHENSIVE USER FEE
STUDY AND COST ALLOCATION PLAN
RECOMMENDATION:
1.Approve Amendment No. 2 to Contract No. C37610 with Willdan Financial Services for
Comprehensive User Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan.
2.Authorize the City Manager or designee to review and approve written contract amendment
and change order requests for unanticipated conditions in an additional amount not to exceed
$15,000.
3.Authorize the City Manager to execute the subject amendment.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On May 23, 2019 City Council approved an agreement with Willdan Financial Services
(“Willdan”) to conduct a Comprehensive User Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan. The study
had about 25% of the work completed but was put on hold until a later date due to the pandemic.
On June 23, 2022 staff assuming the effort, requested to re-engage Willdan to avoid any lost
efforts in order to complete this assignment. Upon diving into the various fees and their makeup,
staff discovered the varying level of complicity to the outdated fee structure and realized there
was a need to modernize, as well as simplify, the current outdated methods to establish user
fees.
Staff is currently unwinding the current structure and designing of a simplified fee structure for
City services including permit fees, plan check, inspections, license fees, community
development fees, engineering fees, and fire fees. The entire team understands the necessity
for this to be completed to ensure costs are being allocated sufficiently. The last time a full study
was done was in 2004.
The timeframe to complete the study varies dramatically depending on the City’s current fee
structure. Typically, it can take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. Given that Willdan has
already done some of the leg work on this endeavor, and the restructuring is already underway,
staff is requesting an extension through June 30, 2024.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The requested amendment merely extends the timeframe to complete the work. Therefore,
there is no direct impact to the General Fund.

Task 3::Gather Staffing Information and Develop Cost Allocation Plan Model
Objecfive: Gather information celated to indirect staffing and functions. Prepare draft cost allocation plan and
model.
Description: This task involves the gathering of specific information,directiy from City staff;through interviews and
discussion, related to the functions served by indirect staff and the departments served by their
activities. This task also focuses on the development of, and/or adjustment of existing, allocation
bases, and the development and testing of a model that.will ultimately be used to calculate the proper
cost allocations derived from data gathered in prior tasks.
The model will be developed to incorporate any recent changes in the prov'ision of City services, and
fully allocate central service costs.
The model .will also be developed to allocate only those costs eligible under OMB Super Circular
former A-87) guidelines. This is accomplished by loading relevant data into:the model, identifying
wfiich costs are not allocable under OMB guidelines, then employing a toggle that will emove the
OMB ineligible costs as appropriate.The 0MB Super Circular compliant model is valuable as the City
may receive Federal or State granf funding that mandatescompliance with Fecieral OMB regulations.
We will utilize budget and organizational information; and other required information gathered from
City staff to complete the work in this task. SPecific discussions will be held to discuss fiases, how
central overhead services are provided to and utilized by other departments,• cost categories and
allocation criteria, and how these will factor into the overall cost allocation,methodology. .
We will work with the Gity to review any existing Internal Service Funds (ISF) and their functions and
structures and incorporate them into the model:and methodo.logy.
The model ancl methodology will also produce fully loaded hourly billing rates for City staff positioos.
These rates will be suitable for a variety of uses, including billing to CIP projects, and in the OMB
Super Circular compliant CAP,to Federal grants.
Meetings: Conference call with staff to understand structure and operations as model and allocation bases are
developed. Key staff will be interviewed to best understand central overhead staffing and functions
and#he departments served.

iTask 3: Kick-off Conference Call/ Refine Scope
Objecfive: Gonfirm goals and objectives for the User Fee Study. Identify and resolve policy issues typicaliy raised
by a User Fee Study, address gaps i.n data, and refine appropriate existing or new fee categories
based on Task 2).
Description: Verify our understanding of the City's goals,the City's cosf-recovery policy for user fees,and to fill any
gaps in data/information necessary for the project. It is important for the City and Willdan to identify
and address any foreseeable problems and maintain open communication throughout the Process.
During this:call, we will ask that the City identify a project manager who will serve as the primary
contact for the project. The project manager shall have responsibility:for ensuring that all available
data is provided in a timely manner, thereby maintaining adherence to the projecYs schedule.
Meetings: One(1)project kick-off call to initiate the entire project, discuss data needs,and address policy issues.
This will be held in conjunction with the kick-off for the cost allocation Plan.As mentioned in the cost
allocation plan work plan,we suggest combining the.kick-off calls to increase efficiency.
Deliverables: Willdan: 1)Revised project scope and scheciule(if needed);.and 2)brief summary of policy decisions
if needed).
City: 1) Proyide further data needs;and 2) determine/introduce City's Project manager.
Task 4: Develop Userfee Model
Objective: Develop and test model.
Description: This task involves the development of the model ultimately used to calculate the departmental fees,
based on data and information gathered in previous tasks and in the Time Survey Interviews described
in Task 5.To ensure that City policies are met through the imposition of the calculated fees,the model
will be formatted to include appropriate costs.
Key model inputs will include staff:and allocated overhead costs per position;and relevant budge#data
on salaries and benefits. Most of this information will be developed.during the cost allocation plan
phase of this project and will be incorporated directly into the:user fee model. We will request
clarification and/or additionat data if necessary.
The mo.del will build upon the cost allocation plan results, to provide an allocation of administrative
and overhead costs to fee related activities and departments providing services to custome s,so that
fees and billable rate schedules incorporate applicable costs: Furthermore,the fees and rates charged
to customers will also reflect the cost of the services being provided,to the extent possible given policy
and/or political considerations:
Deliverables: Willdan: One (1) use-friendly model in Microsoft Excel formaf, which, when finalized, City staff can
use to calculate fee changes annually;or as often as deemed appropriate by the City Council.
Task 5::Time Survey lnterviews and On-site Information Gathering
Objective: Meet with City staff to complete Time Surveys and understand service delivery processes:.
Description: In order to assist staff with the completion of the survey worksheets;we will schedule one(1)full day
of on-site meetings with staff; however, the number of ineetings needed may vary depending on the
number of staff and departments involved.
The Willdan Team will conduct inter iews with supervisors/managers, as well as other staff, as
deemed appropriate and/or necessary; from each department involved in the user fee study to
determine the average time required by City staff to provide each of the services for which a fee is
collected.
The fee model is.designed so that full cost recovery fees are calculated immediately upon input of staff
time. These full costs are also compared to current cost recovery levels. This will allow Willdan and
City staff to:conclude with a final meeting to review the draft full cost recovery fees, and adjust any
times as necessary, once all information has been compiled and input into the fee model: We will
schedule the interview5 with staff to minimize any disruption to their normal workflow.
Meetings: One (1)full business day of on-site meetings/staff interviews.
Deliverables: Willdan and City: Time surveys and draft full cost recovery fees.

Task 6: Common Fees Comparison : : .
Objective: Examine selected user fees charged by up to five (5) comParable cities in Riverside County, or
jurisdictions that are similar to the City of Falm Desert.
Descripfion: We will access and use our knowledge of other jurisdictions to benchmark the City's five (5) most
common fees or highest yielding fees with comparable jurisdictions agreed:
Fee schedules are rarely readily or directly comparable from agency to agency due to definitional and
operational differences. For.example, a grading permit in one jurisdiction may include the plan check
service,.while the same permit in:another jurisdiction may not, resulting in similar sounding services
with widely varying costs. For this reason,Willdan takes a selection of the City's most commonly used
and/or highest yielding fees.
The survey will con4ain the.following, a comparison of common or similarfees and charges used by:
the City and other jurisdictions; cu.rrent and proposed fees and charges unique to the City of Palm
Desert; fees and charges used by other public entities not currently used in the City; and.lf possible,
identify characteristics and processes unique to the City that account for significant variances in fees
and charges used by other jurisdictions.
qeliverables: Willdan: Rec.ommendations provided in Task 8 w.ill incorporate the data gathered during our
examination.
Task 7:.Data Analysis and Final Usec Fee Schedule .
06jective: Incorporate information obtained from on-site surveys to fully develop model.
Description: We will update the model, based on information received during the on-site surveys, to generate a
comprehensive user fee schedule. In addition; it is very common that a supplemental data request
may b.e ne.cessary, based on new fees identified that the City is no,t cu.rrently collecting. Where
appropriate;we will suggest and discuss with staff alternate approaches to existing fee programs(i.e..
building fees)and suggest potential areas where fees could be collected where they are not currently.
We will present the ful.l cost recovery level for fees, both current and projected under the new
calculated fees, and revenue projections; given certain assumptions about the levels of subsidy for
different:fees. .Current levels of cost recovery will be compared to actual full costs calculated ciuring.
th.e course of this study.Cost will be calculated at reasonable activity levels and include all appropriate
direct and indirect costs and overhead.We will review fee programs for compliance with Propositions
218 and 26.
in developing the fee schedule,we will make recommendations for new fees where appropriate,based.
on our experience with other cities.Some areas for new fees may be due to changes in law(legalized
cannabis),or for activities that the City nds itself performing regularl,y,but for which no fee.is collected.
Where possible, we will incorporate discussion of the City's economic development policies, and
where these may intersect with fee programs, for instance setting fees in a manner that encourages
certain activities.
The user fee data analysis and model development may take three(3)to four(4)weeks with frequent
correspondence with City staff to discuss current cost recoVery amounts, necessary to recover full
cost and frequency activity.
Meetings: Conference calls and/or web meetings to finalize fee schedule.
Deliverables: Final user fee model for Gity Council presentation and discussion.:
Task.8::Prepare and:Present Draft Rep.ort
Objective: Prepare draft report.
Description: This task involves the preparation of the draft report that discusses the study's background, the
methodologies utilized in the study, and the results and presentation to various stakeholder groups.
As noted below, meetings may occur during this or the:next task as appropriate.The calculations used
to generate the user fee study will be included textually, as well as in easy to understand tables.
Individual fee summaries by department and a comprehensive fee schedule will be included.The draft
report will include the following:
Key results and findings;

City: Review of draft report,with comments and edits.
Task 9::Revise:Dr ff Report/Determine Cost Recovery Levels for Recommended Adopfion '
Objective: Review of draft report and fee model.
Descripfion; The goal of this task is to conduct an in-depth review of the draft report and model, incorporate
feedback and changes as a result of previous discussions, and arrive at an optimum fee structure.
Often through the course of. an engagement, City staff will volunteer insightful likes and dislikes
regarding the existing fee structure.We listen to this feedback carefully because your staff members
know the community best. Comments.usually revolve around issues of:
Understandability;
Fairness to applicants;
Ease of calculation;
Appropriate levels of cost recovery; and
FuIF cost recovery hourly rates.
When adjusting fee recovery levels,we believe it is important to aiidress these concems.
Following one.(1) round of comments from City staff.on.the draft report and feedback from City staff,
we will prepare the final rePoct fo[presentation to the City Council.
Meetings: One(1)online demonstration (WebEx)to review the report and model, with any revisions.

The work includes removal and replacement of expansion joints, structural concrete repairs,
debris removal, and culvert removal and replacement. The project was advertised for bid on
April 15, 2023, closing on April 30, 2023. No bids were received electronically through the City’s
bid management portal.
In follow up to receiving no submission of bids, plan holder outreach was completed to
understand why. Responding contractors identified either 1) excess workload; or 2) incapability
of executing scope.
Given this scenario, Public Works consulted with the City Attorney B,B & K and followed their
recommendation to utilize the informal bid procedure. Staff solicited bids from five (5) qualified
contractors on Monday, May 8, 2023, with bids closing on May 19, 2023. Two bids were received.
Contractor Location Bid Amount
MLC Constructors, Inc. Corona, CA $325,509.00
CT&T Concrete Paving, Inc. Diamond Bar, CA $594,135.00
MLC Constructors, Inc., submitted the lowest responsive bid in the amount of $325,509.00. Staff
reviewed the bid documents, and all the required forms were submitted. MLC Constructors has
no work history with the City to date but has completed numerous public works projects with
other local agencies in Southern California.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Bridge Preventative Maintenance Program was included in the Capital Improvement Project
(CIP) List for Fiscal Year 2022-2023, therefore there is no additional impact to the General Fund.

at 710 Rimpau Ave, Ste. 208, Corona, CA 92879 sometimes hereinafter called “Contractor.”
WITNESSETH: That the parties hereto have mutually covenanted and agreed, and by these
presents do covenant and agree with each other as follows:
ARTICLE 1. SCOPE OF WORK.
The Contractor shall perform all Work within the time stipulated in the Contract, and shall provide

2 CONTRACT & BOND FORMS
ARTICLE 4. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.
Contractor acknowledges that the City will sustain actual damages for each and every Day
completion of the Project is delayed beyond the Contract Time. Because of the nature
of the Project, it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to determine the City’s
actual damages. Accordingly, in accordance with Government Code section 53069.85,
it is agreed that the Contractor will pay the City the sum of $1,000 for each and every
Day of delay beyond the time prescribed in the Contract Documents for finishing the
Work, as Liquidated Damages and not as a penalty or forfeiture. In the event this is
not paid, the Contractor agrees the City may deduct that amount from any money due
or that may become due the Contractor under the Contract. This Section does not
exclude recovery of other damages specified in the Contract Documents. Liquidated
damages may be deducted from progress payments due Contractor, Project retention
or may be collected directly from Contractor, or from Contractor's surety. These
provisions for liquidated damages shall not prevent the City, in case of Contractor's
default, from terminating the Contractor.

specifically allow Contractor or others providing insurance evidence in compliance
Item 1Q-9
Contract No. C45010
7 CONTRACT & BOND FORMS
with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Contractor
hereby waives its own right of recovery against the City, its elected or appointed
officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers and shall require similar
written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subcontractors.
8. Enforcement of Contract Provisions (non estoppel). Contractor acknowledges and
agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Contractor
of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the
City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or
other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any
insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of
clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or
insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any
type. If the Contractor maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above,
the City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained
by the Contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified
minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
10. Notice of Cancellation. Contractor agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker
and insurers to provide to City with a thirty (30) Day notice of cancellation (except
for nonpayment for which a ten (10) Day notice is required) or nonrenewal of
coverage for each required coverage.
11. Additional Insured Status. General liability, automobile liability, and if applicable,
pollution liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that the City and
its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional
insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any
excess/umbrella liability policies. Coverage shall be at least as broad as coverage
provided by ISO’s Owners, Lessees, or Contractors Additional Insured

operations (i.e. ISO Form CG 20 37 07 04) of Contractor.
12. Prohibition of Undisclosed Coverage Limitations. None of the coverages required
herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting
endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of
in writing.
13. Separation of Insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all
additional insureds ensuring that Contractor’s insurance shall apply separately to
each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect
to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability
exclusions.

contractors, and any other party involved with the Project who is brought onto or
involved in the project by Contractor, provide the same minimum insurance
coverage and endorsements required of Contractor. Contractor agrees to monitor
and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such

coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Contractor
agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and
others engaged in the Project will be submitted to City for review.

right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types
of insurance required by giving the Contractor ninety (90) Days advance written
notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the
Contractor, the City and Contractor may renegotiate Contractor’s compensation. If
the City reduces the insurance requirements, the change shall go into effect
immediately and require no advanced written notice.
16. Self-Insured Retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and
approved by City. City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be
eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be
considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by City.

and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be
necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the Work.

damage to any person or property. In carrying out its Services, the Contractor shall

CITY OF PALM DESERT
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 22, 2023
PREPARED BY: Neal Ennis, Project Manager
REQUEST: AWARD CONTRACT NO. C45210 IN THE AMOUNT OF $195,844 TO
UNITED STORM WATER, INC. FOR THE FY 2022/23 CATCH BASIN AND
DRAIN CLEANING PROJECT (PROJECT NO. 501-23/CDR00002)
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Award Contract No. C45210, in the amount of $195,844 to United Storm Water, Inc. of City
of Industry, California, for the FY 2022/23 Catch Basin and Drain Cleaning Project.
2. Authorize the Director of Finance to set aside a 10% contingency in the amount of $19,585.
3. Authorize the City Manager to review and approve written requests for the use of contingency
for unanticipated conditions, per Section 3.30.170 Section A of Ordinance No. 1392; and
4. Authorize City Manager or designee to review and approve written contract amendment
requests up to the contingency amount.
5. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement and the City Attorney to make any
non-substantive changes to the contract.
Funds are available in Storm Drain Maintenance Account No. 4204314-4332000.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
As a critical component of the City’s overall stormwater management program, drainage facilities
must be regularly inspected and cleaned. Catch basins can sometimes trap sediment and other
solids that might otherwise clog a storm drain and cause flooding. The regular removal of trapped
sediment and debris from these facilities reduces the incidence of foul odors, minimizes
contamination in receiving waters, and satisfies some of the requirements of the City’s NPDES
(National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) permit.
The project also includes the fabrication and installation of connector pipe screen (CPS) units.
The installation of CPS units is a requirement of the NPDES permit to reduce the amount of
trash that enters the storm drain system, and ultimately the Whitewater River Channel. The CPS
units allow water to enter the storm drain system while detaining trash or debris in the catch
basin. The installation of the CPS units is prioritized in high density residential, or commercial
areas.
The project was advertised for bid and on May 15, 2023, two bids were received electronically
through the City’s bid management portal with the following results:
Contractor Location Bid Amount
United Storm Water, Inc. City of Industry, CA $ 195,844.00
Downstream Services, Inc. Escondido, CA $ 202,321.00

United Storm Water, Inc. submitted the lowest responsive bid in the amount of $195,844.00.
Staff reviewed the bid documents, and all the required forms were submitted. United Storm
Water, Inc. has performed well for the City on previous projects.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This project is being done as a part of the City’s Storm Drain Maintenance Program, which was
included in the FY 2022/23 Capital Improvement Project (CIP) List. There is no fiscal impact
beyond the contract amount. Any costs attributable to an Assessment District will be reimbursed
accordingly.

CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION
This Contract for Construction (“Contract”), No. C45210, is made and entered into this 22nd day
of June, 2023, by and between City of Palm Desert, a Charter City and municipal corporation,
organized under the laws of the State of California, with its principal place of business at 73-510
Fred Waring Drive, Palm Desert, California 92260, sometimes hereinafter called the “City” and
United Storm Water, Inc., a Corporation in the State of California, with its principal place of
business at 11400 E. Valley Blvd., City of Industry, CA 91746 sometimes hereinafter called
“Contractor.”
WITNESSETH: That the parties hereto have mutually covenanted and agreed, and by these
presents do covenant and agree with each other as follows:
ARTICLE 1. SCOPE OF WORK.
The Contractor shall perform all Work within the time stipulated in the Contract, and shall provide
all labor, materials, equipment, tools, utility services, and transportation to complete
all of the Work required in strict compliance with the Contract Documents as specified
in Article 5, below, for the following Project:
FY 2022-23 CATCH BASIN AND DRAIN CLEANING PROJECT
PROJECT NUMBER 501-23/CDR00002
This project will include Catch Basin and Storm Drain Cleaning with CPS installation at various City
locations.
Contractor is an independent contractor and not an agent of the City. The Contractor and its
surety shall be liable to the City for any damages arising as a result of the Contractor’s failure to
comply with this obligation.
ARTICLE 2. TIME FOR COMPLETION.
Time is of the essence in the performance of the Work. The Work shall be commenced on the
date stated in the City’s Notice to Proceed. The Contractor shall complete all Work
required by the Contract Documents within 90 Calendar Days from the
commencement date stated in the Notice to Proceed. By its signature hereunder,
Contractor agrees the time for completion set forth above is adequate and reasonable
to complete the Work.
ARTICLE 3. CONTRACT PRICE.
The City shall pay to the Contractor as full compensation for the performance of the Contract,
subject to any additions or deductions as provided in the Contract Documents, and
including all applicable taxes and costs, the sum of One Hundred Ninety-Five
Thousand Eight Hundred and Forty Four Dollars ($ 195,844.00). Payment shall be

Item 1R-3
Contract No. C45210
72500.00001\32656428.1 2 CONTRACT & BOND FORMS
ARTICLE 4. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.
Contractor acknowledges that the City will sustain actual damages for each and every day
completion of the Project is delayed beyond the Contract Time. Because of the nature
of the Project, it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to determine the City’s
actual damages. Accordingly, in accordance with Government Code section 53069.85,
it is agreed that the Contractor will pay the City the sum of $1,000.00 for each and
every Day of delay beyond the time prescribed in the Contract Documents for finishing
the Work, as Liquidated Damages and not as a penalty or forfeiture. In the event this
is not paid, the Contractor agrees the City may deduct that amount from any money
due or that may become due the Contractor under the Contract. This Section does not
exclude recovery of other damages specified in the Contract Documents. Liquidated
damages may be deducted from progress payments due Contractor, Project retention
or may be collected directly from Contractor, or from Contractor's surety. These
provisions for liquidated damages shall not prevent the City, in case of Contractor's
default, from terminating the Contractor.

4. Products/Completed Operations Coverage. Products/completed operations
coverage shall extend a minimum of three (3) years after project completion.
Coverage shall be included on behalf of the insured for covered claims arising out
of the actions of independent contractors. If the insured is using subcontractors,
the Policy must include work performed “by or on behalf” of the insured. Policy
shall contain no language that would invalidate or remove the insurer’s duty to
defend or indemnify for claims or suits expressly excluded from coverage. Policy
shall specifically provide for a duty to defend on the part of the insurer. The City,
its officials, officers, agents, and employees, shall be included as additional
insureds under the Products and Completed Operations coverage.
5. City’s Rights of Enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under
this Contract does not comply with these requirements, or is canceled and not
replaced, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain the insurance it deems
necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by
Contractor, or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Contractor
payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Contract.
6. Acceptable Insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance
company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact
business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the

of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the City’s Risk
Manager.
7. Waiver of Subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant
to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against the City, its
elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers, or shall
specifically allow Contractor or others providing insurance evidence in compliance
with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Contractor
hereby waives its own right of recovery against the City, its elected or appointed
officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers and shall require similar
written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subcontractors.
8. Enforcement of Contract Provisions (non estoppel). Contractor acknowledges and
agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Contractor
of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the
City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
Item 1R-8
Contract No. C45210
72500.00001\32656428.1 7 CONTRACT & BOND FORMS
9. Requirements Not Limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits
contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or
other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any
insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of
clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or
insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any
type. If the Contractor maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above,
the City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained
by the Contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified
minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
10. Notice of Cancellation. Contractor agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker
and insurers to provide to City with a thirty (30) Day notice of cancellation (except
for nonpayment for which a ten (10) Day notice is required) or nonrenewal of
coverage for each required coverage.
11. Additional Insured Status. General liability, automobile liability, and if applicable,
pollution liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that the City and
its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional
insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any
excess/umbrella liability policies. Coverage shall be at least as broad as coverage
provided by ISO’s Owners, Lessees, or Contractors Additional Insured
Endorsement for the ongoing (i.e. ISO Form CG 20 10 07 04) and completed
operations (i.e. ISO Form CG 20 37 07 04) of Contractor.
12. Prohibition of Undisclosed Coverage Limitations. None of the coverages required
herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting
endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of
in writing.
13. Separation of Insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all
additional insureds ensuring that Contractor’s insurance shall apply separately to
each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect
to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability
exclusions.
14. Pass Through Clause. Contractor agrees to ensure that its sub-consultants, sub-
contractors, and any other party involved with the Project who is brought onto or
involved in the project by Contractor, provide the same minimum insurance
coverage and endorsements required of Contractor. Contractor agrees to monitor
and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such
coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Contractor
agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and
others engaged in the Project will be submitted to City for review.
15. City’s Right to Revise Requirements. The City or its Risk Manager reserves the
right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types
of insurance required by giving the Contractor ninety (90) Days advance written
notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the
Contractor, the City and Contractor may renegotiate Contractor’s compensation. If
Item 1R-9
Contract No. C45210
72500.00001\32656428.1 8 CONTRACT & BOND FORMS
the City reduces the insurance requirements, the change shall go into effect
immediately and require no advanced written notice.
16. Self-Insured Retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and
approved by City. City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be
eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be
considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by City.
17. Timely Notice of Claims. Contractor shall give City prompt and timely notice of
claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Contractor’s
performance under this Contract, and that involve or may involve coverage under
any of the required liability policies.
18. Additional Insurance. Contractor shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost
and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be
necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the Work.
19. Safety. Contractor shall execute and maintain its work so as to avoid injury or
damage to any person or property. In carrying out its Services, the Contractor shall

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 22, 2023
PREPARED BY: Vanessa Mager, Management Analyst
REQUEST: APPROVE A ONE (1) YEAR EXTENSION TO THE CONTRACT
BETWEEN THE CITY OF PALM DESERT AND CIRCUIT TRANSIT, INC.
TO PROVIDE EL PASEO COURTESY CART SERVICES FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2023/24
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve Amendment No. 1 to Contract No. C43540 with Circuit, Inc. in an amount not to
exceed $204,500, including regularly scheduled, special events and flex hours for the
operation of the El Paseo Courtesy Cart Program during Fiscal Year (FY) 2023/24.
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute said contract and allow the City Attorney to make non-
substantive changes.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
At its July 14, 2022, regular City Council meeting, Council approved a contract with Circuit
Transit, Inc. for the operation of three (3) vendor owned El Paseo Courtesy Carts. As part of
Council consideration, staff recommended approval of a one (1) year contract with options for
two (2) one (1) year extensions for the operations of three (3) vendor owned El Paseo Courtesy
Carts seven (7) hours per day, seven (7) days per week mid-October through May.
The FY 2022/23 agreement has expired as of May 29, 2023, and based on the satisfactory
performance of the current vendor, staff is recommending that Council approve to proceed with
the first of the two (2) one (1) year extension for the operations of three (3) vendor owned El
Paseo Courtesy Carts. Approval of staff’s recommendation will allow the City to extend the
contract with Circuit Transit, Inc. for the operation of the El Paseo Courtesy Carts for one (1)
year at an amount not to exceed $204,500 for FY 2023/24. With Council’s approval the operation
of the carts will commence on October 13, 2023, and end on May 27, 2024.
The approval of Amendment No. 1 of the El Paseo Courtesy Cart operator’s contract aligns with
the City’s Envision Palm Desert Strategic Plan in the following areas:
• Economic Development Priority 4: Expand and raise awareness of business-friendly
services in order to retain and attract business.
• Transportation Priority 3: De-emphasize the use of single/low occupancy vehicles and
optimize multiple modes of travel.

Agreement, the exhibits attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference, and all applicable local, state, and federal laws, rules and
regulations.

Page 2 of 6
Initial contract operating period: October 14, 2022 - May 29, 2023
First Amendment operating period: October 13, 2023 - May 27, 2024
CONTRACTOR shall operate the vehicles in accordance with the
applicable operating schedule, attached hereto as Exhibit “A” (“Schedule”).
Vehicles are permitted to be out of service for one half-hour plus two 15-
minute breaks during each seven-hour operating period. No breaks shall
be taken consecutively or concurrently. At the direction of the CITY, more
hours may be added to the schedule described herein or may be reduced
from this schedule. In the event that the number of hours is changed, the
contract amount will be adjusted accordingly by application of the unit rates
contained in Exhibit B. The CITY retains the right to increase, decrease,
or, with thirty (30) days’ notice, to suspend or cancel the service for any
period at any time.
The CONTRACTOR shall provide neatly-attired professional drivers
whose appearance is appropriate for the context in which they will be
working (company golf shirts, for example).
C. Term: The term of this Agreement shall be from July 14, 2022, to May 27,
2024, unless earlier terminated as provided herein. CONTRACTOR shall
complete the Services within the term of this Agreement and shall meet
any other established schedules and deadlines. The Parties may, by
mutual, written consent, extend the term of this Agreement if necessary to
complete the Services. Execution is completed when all parties have
signed the agreement. Agreement is subject to annual budget approval by
the City Council. If not approved during the budget process the agreement
will be cancelled according to the termination procedures outlined below.
D. Termination Prior to Expiration of Term: CITY may terminate this
Agreement at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) day’s written
notice to the CONTRACTOR. Upon receipt of the notice of termination, the
CONTRACTOR shall immediately cease all work or services hereunder
except as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. In the
event of termination by the CITY, CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to
compensation for all services rendered prior to the effectiveness of the
notice of termination and for such additional services specifically
authorized by CITY. CITY shall be entitled to reimbursement for any
compensation paid in excess of the services rendered. CONTRACTOR
may terminate its obligation to provide further services under this
Agreement upon thirty (30) calendar days' written notice to the CITY only
in the event of substantial failure by the CITY to perform in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement through no fault of CONTRACTOR.
3.3 A New Section 2.5 (Independent Contract; Control and Payment of Subordinates)
is hereby added to the Agreement, to read as follows:
“2.5 Independent Contractor; Control and Payment of Subordinates. The
Services shall be performed by CONTRACTOR or under its supervision.
CONTRACTOR will determine the means, methods and details of performing the
Services subject to the requirements of this Agreement. CITY retains
CONTRACTOR on an independent contractor basis and not as an employee. Any
personnel performing the Services shall not be employees of CITY and shall at all
Item 1S-4
Contract No. ______________
Page 3 of 6
times be under CONTRACTOR’S exclusive direction and control. Neither CITY,
or any of its officials, officers, directors, employees or agents shall have control
over the conduct of CONTRACTOR or any of CONTRACTOR’S officers,
employees or agents, except as set forth in this Agreement. CONTRACTOR shall
pay all wages, salaries, and other amounts due such personnel in connection with
their performance of Services under this Agreement and as required by law.
CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for all reports and obligations respecting
such additional personnel, including, but not limited to: social security taxes,
income tax withholding, unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and
workers' compensation insurance.”
3.4 Section 4 (Fees and Payment) of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety
to read as follows:
A. Operation of the El Paseo Courtesy Cart Service: CONTRACTOR shall
receive compensation, including authorized reimbursements, for all
Services rendered under this Agreement at the “Option 1: Circuit Vehicles”
rates set forth on page 18 of Exhibit "B". The total compensation shall not
exceed Two Hundred Four Thousand Five Hundred Dollars and Zero
Cents ($204,500) per year, without written approval of the City Council or
City Manager, as applicable.
B. Payment of Compensation: CONTRACTOR shall submit to CITY monthly
invoices which provide a detailed description of the Services and hours
rendered by CONTRACTOR. CITY shall, within 30 days of receiving such
invoice, review the invoice and pay all non-disputed and approved
charges. If the CITY disputes any of CONTRACTOR'S fees, the CITY shall
give written notice to CONTRACTOR within thirty (30) days of receipt of an
invoice of any disputed fees set forth therein. CONTRACTOR shall submit
its final invoice to CITY within thirty (30) days from the last date of provided
Services or termination of this Agreement and failure by the
CONTRACTOR to submit a timely invoice may constitute a waiver of its
right to final payment. Payment shall not constitute acceptance of any
Services completed by CONTRACTOR. The making of final payment shall
not constitute a waiver of any claims by the CITY for any reason
whatsoever.
C. Reimbursement for Expenses: CONTRACTOR shall not be reimbursed for
any expenses unless authorized in writing by CITY or included in Exhibit
“B”.
D. Extra Work: At any time during the term of this Agreement, CITY may
request that CONTRACTOR perform Extra Work. As used herein, "Extra
Work" means any work which is determined by CITY to be necessary for
the proper completion of the Project, but which the Parties did not
reasonably anticipate would be necessary at the execution of this
Agreement. CONTRACTOR shall not perform, nor be compensated for,
Extra Work without written authorization from CITY.”
3.5 A new Section 7 (Amendment; Modification) is hereby added to the Agreement, to

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 22, 2023
PREPARED BY: Shawn Muir, Community Services Manager
REQUEST: ACCEPT GRANT FROM COACHELLA VALLEY MOUNTAINS
CONSERVANCY (CVMC) CLIMATE RESILIENCE & COMMUNITY
ACCESS (CRCA) PROGRAM IN THE AMOUNT OF $300,000 (PROJECT
NO. CPK00002)
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Accept grant from Coachella Valley Mountains Conservancy (CVMC) Climate Resilience &
Community Access (CRCA) program in the amount of $300,000 for the North Sphere
Regional Park Improvements Project.
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement and all other documents associated
with this grant.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The North Sphere Regional Park (NSRP) is a 27-acre park that was included in the Millennium
Specific Plan to provide residents of the development with outdoor recreational opportunities.
The need for a regional park in this area is designated by the City of Palm Desert General Plan.
On August 25, 2022, the City Council awarded a contract in the amount of $1,230,095 to
Interwest Consulting Group, Inc. (Interwest) for planning and design services for the NSRP.
However, during the process, Interwest updated their proposal to $1,201,260, which did not
affect their rank. Since the award of the contract, staff has worked with Interwest to identify grant
opportunities that may meet the project goals. The CVMC CRCA grant was identified, and a
contract amendment was executed February 15, 2023, to increase the contract amount by
$22,773 to allow Interwest to provide grant-writing services using rates and scope included in
the original contract.
Staff worked with Interwest’s grant division to develop and submit the CVMC CRCA grant
application. CVMC awarded the grant in the amount of $300,000 to the City of Palm Desert
during its regular Board Meeting on May 8, 2023. Upon Palm Desert City Council acceptance of
the award, the grant contract (Attachment 1) may be executed.
The project description for the grant includes the development of a conceptual design for the
NSRP that identifies characteristics of the site and features to promote climate resiliency and
community access. The objective of the conceptual plan will be to provide layout strategies to
scale on a surveyed base, identify the final programming and uses of the future park, and finalize
the areas and interrelationships of uses and features to be included. The grant amount requested
was $400,000, however, only $300,000 was awarded by CVMC.
Item 1U-1
City of Palm Desert
Accept CVMC CRCA Grant
Page 2 of 2
Strategic Plan:
A top priority of the City’s Envision Palm Desert Strategic Plan is to secure funding to sustain
and enhance the community’s parks, recreation areas, and activities. This request meets that
objective by securing funding to design a new park in North Palm Desert.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The North Sphere Regional Park Improvements Project was included in the approved Capital
Improvement Project (CIP) List for Fiscal Year 2022/23. Acceptance of this grant award will
bolster the budget for public engagement, planning, engineering, and design activities for the
NSRP that are specific to Climate Resilience and Community Access.
Funding for the design and construction of the park is currently $1.5M, consisting of $1,000,000
under Account No. 2334670-5000201, and $500,000 in 4514618-5000913. There will be no
change to the current contract with Interwest since the grant monies will be distributed to the
City on a reimbursement basis. Therefore, there is no financial impact on the General Fund
following acceptance of the award.

Climate Resilience and Community Access Grant Program
1. Project Description
The North Sphere Regional
Park is envisioned by the
Palm Desert community
as a 27-acre regional park
with passive recreation
facilities. The City of Palm
Desert (City) is leading the
public engagement efforts to
identify the public needs and
desired park features to turn
this vacant site into a public
park that serves all members
of the community.
With a Climate Resilience and
Community Access (CRCA)
grant, the City will be able
to identify Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) that support climate resiliency and create access to
recreational and educational opportunities for Coachella Valley residents and visitors.
The City of Palm Desert proposes to work with the Coachella Valley Mountain Conservancy (CVMC)
and project partners to develop conceptual designs for the North Sphere Regional Park (NSRP)
that incorporate the CRCA grant program objectives and community input. After the conceptual
designs are finalized, a project design team will prepare plans and specifications for the next
phase to develop the park. The framework for a potential conceptual design is shown above and
is included in Attachment #1.
2. Project Location
The North Sphere Regional Park is situated in northern Palm Desert in the Coachella Valley.
The site is owned by the City and is located between Dinah Shore Drive and Interstate 10, just
north of Gerald Ford Drive. A larger map of the project location is included in Attachment #2.
The project is not located in a conservation area as delineated by the Coachella Valley Multiple
Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP), however the project is located within the general
boundaries of the CVMSHCP.

5North Sphere Regional Park
Climate Resilience and Community Access Grant Program
Conceptual Design Phase - The project team will work closely to develop the conceptual
plans that identify the characteristics of the site and features to promote climate resiliency and
community access. The objective of the conceptual plan will be to provide layout strategies to-
scale on a surveyed base, identifying the final programming and uses of the future park, and
finalizing the areas and inter-relationships of uses and features to be included.
Plans and Bid Document Phases:
Schematic Design Phase (30% design) – Based on the approvals and directives of the
Conceptual Design, the project team will further develop the design to meet the criteria. This
Phase will include an Engineers Estimate of Probable Cost to the proposed plan’s cost against
the expressed estimated construction budget.
Design Development Phase (70% design) – This phase will be based on the Schematic Design
Phase and will serve to memorialize consistency with the design intent.
Biddable Document Preparation Phase (100% design) – To provide documents for the bidding
process, this phase delivers construction plans, construction details, and specifications.
5. Budget and Cost Effectiveness
Project Budget
The City requests a CRCA grant in the amount of $400,000.00 to be used for the design phase
of the NSRP. The total estimated cost for this phase is $627,425.00. The CRCA grant request
represents 36.25% of the total cost. A detailed project budget is included in Attachment #4.

Total Funding $5,000 $20,000 $245,075 $357,350 $627,425
Local Funding
The source of local funds for the project include the following: (1) the City's Parks & Recreation
Facilities Fund, collected from residential developments and restricted for expenditures related
to park development, maintenance, and equipment; and (2) the City's Capital Bond Fund, from
proceeds of bond funds for capital related properties, used to account for the construction of
public facilities.
Cost Effectiveness
Since the City Parks and Recreation Department generally focuses on recreation programming
and park management, working with a consultant to prepare the conceptual design, plans, and
bid documents is a cost-effective way for the City to maintain a high-level of service for the
community while still planning for future park and recreation needs. The City evaluated proposals
Item 1U-17
6North Sphere Regional Park
Climate Resilience and Community Access Grant Program
of consultants for park design services and selected a consultant based on their ability to meet
the City needs, experience, level of service, and cultural and community sensitivity in their design
and public engagement work.
6. Organizational Capacity
The City is ready to commence the work upon the grant award and execution of a grant agreement.
The City Manager is committed to ensuring that City staff have the resources to implement and
manage the grant. City staff involved in the administration of the grant include: Randy Chavez,
Deputy Director of Public Works; Shawn Muir, Community Service Manager; and Joe Barron,
Senior Contracts and Grants Analyst. Resumes of lead City staff are included in Attachment #5.
Consulting services will be provided by Interwest, along with its sister company, Calvin, Giordano
& Associates, Inc. (CGA), a landscape architecture firm. Interwest is a multidisciplinary firm that
serves municipalities throughout California in planning, public works, parks, and building and
safety. Project examples from the consultant are included in Attachment #7. This team brings a
depth of experience in developing parks at regional, community and neighborhood scales - all on
the foundation of strong public engagement and outreach. Resumes from the consultant team
leads and select key personnel are included in Attachment #6.
7. Benefits to Underserved Communities
The North Sphere Regional Park is envisioned to serve all residents of the Coachella Valley region.
Designing the park with climate resiliency and community access features would benefit the
greater Palm Desert community, inclusive of disadvantaged communities in the region.
The community of Indio, located approximately 10 miles southeast of the site along Interstate 10,
has a Census Tract (Tract 3.03) with a population of 3,035 that is identified by the California
Environmental Protection Agency's CalEnviroScreen 3.0 tool as one of the top 10% of Census
Tracts in the State burdened by pollution. (See Attachment #8 for CalEnviroScreen 3.0 map.)
The NSRP site is located in proximity to California State University San
Bernardino (CSUSB) Palm Desert campus. Bicycle lanes exist on roadways
between the college campus and the park, a distance of approximately
1 mile. Bus stops next to the campus on Cook Street are served by
fixed-route local and commuter service, providing equitable park access
opportunities. Sunline Transit Agency's Commuter Link Route 10 provides
direct access to and from Indio's disadvantaged community to this stop.

8. Environmental Review
The site is identified as open space in the City of Palm Desert’s General Plan, adopted in 2016.
Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Environmental Impact Report for
the City of Palm Desert General Plan Update was certified on November 10, 2016. A Notice of
Determination was filed on November 18, 2016. Documentation is available online at: https://
ceqanet.opr.ca.gov/2015081020/4.
A Mitigated Negative Declaration has been completed for the Millennium Palm Desert Specific
Plan, of which the proposed park is a component. CRCA grant funds would be used to exceed the
minimum mitigation requirements. The plan is available online at: https://www.palmdesert.gov/
departments/planning/zoning (see pages 39-40 for a discussion on the goal and policies of the
plan's biological resources element and identification of program elements in accordance with
the CVMSHCP). The conceptual design phase of the project will serve as the basis to define and
perform any added CEQA compliance needs and processes.
9. Project Sustainability
To sustain the future of the project, the City will continue to evaluate funding opportunities to
develop the park. In coordination with the CVMC, the project team will identify design features
that can position the City to apply for competitive grants. By aligning the design of the park
with potential grant initiatives, the City will be well-positioned to apply for future grants for
construction and park programming.
10. Project Support
Public engagement and community support for the North Sphere Regional Park date back to
planning efforts from 2013 when the NSRP was identified as a priority in the City's 2013-2033
Strategic Plan: Envision Palm Desert - Forward Together. This plan was the result of outreach
efforts that engaged over 100 community members representing diverse interests, backgrounds,
and viewpoints. These stakeholders shared their knowledge, experience, and insight to help
produce a community-wide vision for the next two decades.
Most recently, the City held a public open house in December 2022 to help plan new parks in
North Palm Desert. Over 50 residents attended the event and provided feedback on the project.
In January 2023, the City hosted a second open house to hear ideas for the parks.
To carry out the City's parks and recreation goals, the City collaborates with other agencies and
non-profit organizations to plan and implement park services, programs, and improvements. A
CRCA grant for the NSRP has garnered support from the Desert Recreation District, the Family
YMCA of the Desert, and the Friends of the Desert Mountains. Letters of Support are included in
Attachment #10.

11.b Technical Effectiveness and Innovation
The City proposes to use Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) for the design of the site's stormwater
system. This strategy promotes using sustainable planning, design, environmental management
and engineering practices to weave natural features or processes into the built environment
to promote adaptation and resilience. The stormwater management needs for the site provide
an opportunity to use a collaborative approach to the project design to create multi-functional
infrastructure.
The City will identify features to enhance community access strategies that reduce GHG emissions
and promote park access. The park will be designed to optimize bicycle and pedestrian access
from the surrounding community, including access from transit stops. Options for bike racks
will be provided and wayfinding signage locations will be identified to inform public access and
encourage bicycle access to the park. Once the park is open, the City's Biking Map will be updated
with the park location. Park elements will be designed with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act)
guidelines to ensure that people with disabilities can enjoy outdoor recreation. This includes
accessible parking spaces, routes, restroom facilities, and seating areas to meet the needs of
individuals with disabilities.
Specific sustainable design features will be identified that promote climate resiliency. The design
will feature shade elements to help reduce heat exposure, thus providing a cooler and more
comfortable environment for park visitors. Innovative design materials, such as paving options
that use climate change mixes to reduce temperatures, may be used. The plans will identify plant
species that incorporate climate resilient landscaping to help reduce water usage and promote
resiliency during extreme weather and lack of rainfall. Options for the use of solar energy and
electric vehicle charging will be identified.
The City is ready to proceed with the implementation of the grant upon award. The design team
brings an interdisciplinary approach that uses the latest in advanced computer-assisted software
technologies such as Advanced Interconnected Pond Routing (ADICPR), Hydraflow, Cascade and
other state of the art computer programs.
11.c Cost Effectiveness
Projects designed with NBS can result in projects that deliver
a broader range of economic, ecosystem services, and social
benefits. Projects designed with NBS are also cost-effective as
they often come at a lower cost than traditional infrastructure.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)'s Building
Community Resilience with Nature-Based Solutions: A Guide for
Local Officials (NBS Guide) describes how NBS offer long-term
environmental, economic, and social advantages that improve a
community’s quality of life and make it more attractive to new
residents and businesses. According to FEMA's guide, using NBS
can reduce the need for expensive below-ground infrastructure,
reduce material costs, and require less land disturbance. This can
help reduce the cost for park development.

11.d Leveraged Financial Support
The project leverages local funds to deliver the design phase for the NSRP. This funding comes
from local funds from City developer fees and capital bonds.
.
11.e Collaboration
The City collaborates with public and private partners for park development and implementation
of programs and services. The Desert Recreation District preforms park maintenance and manages
day-to-day operations, such as opening facilities for the public. The City also partners with the
Family YMCA of the Desert to provide recreational programs.
In 2021, the City took the Mayor’s Monarch Pledge from the National
Wildlife Foundation; and it renewed its pledge in 2022. The pledge
supports a collaborative effort between the City, the Living Desert Zoo
and Gardens, and the University of California Riverside Palm Desert
Campus to create awareness and appreciation for monarch butterfly
habitats.
The project team will collaborate with local agency partners to identify nature-based solutions
and climate resilience features, consistent with local plans and polices. The design will align
with Coachella Valley Water District's Landscaping and Irrigation Design Criteria to improve
outdoor water efficiency and reduce water demand. Public education outreach strategies and
collaborative efforts to make the public aware of critical water quality issues will be identified.
Potential partnerships with the California Conservation Corps (CCC) will be explored for the next
phase of the park. This could include a partnership with the CCC for labor elements as part of the
site preparation and any conservation work. The City will work with CVMC and the design team
to identify potential project components that could be completed the CCC.
11.f Grantee Capacity
The City has the capacity to administer grants as demonstrated through successful grant
administration of park grants such as a Proposition 68 Per Capita Program grant and a Greater
Palm Springs Tourism grant. The project team has the technical capacity to deliver a park design
that meets the grant objectives and takes a comprehensive approach that optimizes opportunities
for future funding. For example, the consultant delivered the Enchanted Hills Park Master Plan for
the City of Perris, which received an $8.5 million Statewide Park Program grant to construct the
park in 2020. The consultant has experience delivering a multidisciplinary services for over 300
agencies. Its team consists of experts in planning, landscape design, stormwater management,
geotechnical engineering, environmental studies, biological assessments, land surveying, traffic
engineering, and permitting. See Attachments #5 & #6 for a list of similar projects and resumes.
The Project will leverage Conservancy funds from the design
phase by identifying the CRCA grant as part of the total project
cost for future grant opportunities, where allowed by a grant
program.

11.g Local Economic Benefits
In addition to the benefits for disadvantaged communities as described in Section 7, the site was
evaluated for access to parks using California State Parks Community FactFinder tool. This tool is
used to evaluate the demographic and park statistics within a 1/2-mile buffer around a pinpoint
placed on the park site. The Community FactFinder Report shows that the park site includes an
area with zero park acres per 1,000 residents (see Attachment #9). A park at this location would
advance the goals of the Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) to improve
the number of parks per acre for community members.
The park is envisioned to offer passive recreation opportunities and will be free for the public to
enter, providing equitable park opportunities for all community members. Palm Desert's parks
are well known in the region and are frequented by people from around the Coachella Valley.
Careful consideration of community access elements will ensure that disadvantaged community
members have equitable access.
11.h Public and Community Support
The City models its public engagement efforts after the Institute for Local Government TIERS Public
Engagement Framework. The TIERS Framework, developed in coordination with local elected
officials and staff across California, consists of five pillars for successful community engagement:
Think, Initiate, Engage, Review and Shift. Through this approach, the City has identified public
engagement strategies that leverage both in-person and digital efforts to optimize community
involvement.
On Saturday, December 3, 2022 the City invited the north Palm Desert community for an open
house to help plan new parks in the area. The City’s consultant, Interwest, led the event to listen
to community input and answer questions. Technical experts were ready, including a traffic
planner, landscape architects, and designers. Over 50 residents attended the event and provided
feedback on the project.
On Saturday, January 14, 2023 the City hosted the second open house to hear the community’s
ideas for two new parks in north Palm Desert. Interwest also led this event. KESQ aired a
According to FEMA's NBS Guide, local economic benefits of nature-based
solutions include:
Increased property values: If a property is near a park or has more
landscaping, it generally has a higher value.
Improved property tax base: In high-growth areas, nature-based features
translate into a higher property tax base. In low-growth communities,
nature-based solutions can stabilize property values in areas with high
vacancies.
Green jobs: Green stormwater infrastructure creates new job
opportunities in sectors like landscape design, paving, and construction.
It also opens new job opportunities in emerging industries.

news story the day before the event and was present
to interview residents about their ideas for the
parks. Technical experts were also present to answer
questions and discuss the planning effort.
Those who could not make the meetings could continue
to provide input on Engage Palm Desert, a City online
platform to keep residents informed and engaged in
City projects.
https://www.engagepalmdesert.com/planning-the-
north-palm-desert-park
The next steps for public engagement are to include a
presentation to the Parks and Recreation Commission
and prepare a preliminary analysis of public input that
will be presented to the City Council.
The Project has garnered support from the Desert Recreation District, the Family YMCA of the
Desert, and the Friends of the Desert Mountains. Letters of Support are included in Attachment
#10.
11.i Consistency with Established Local Plans
The NSRP was initially contemplated to be a 27-acre park that was included in the Millennium
Palm Desert Specific Plan to provide residents with outdoor recreational opportunities. The need
for a regional park in this area is designated by the City of Palm Desert General Plan.
The NSRP is consistent with the City's Strategic Plan: Envision
Palm Desert- Forward Together as follows:
Parks & Recreation – Priority 1: “Prepare for the financial
requirements of maintaining existing parks to the highest level
of service. Planning efforts shall also address future costs of
replacement and growth of the parks capital improvement fund.”
Parks & Recreation – Priority 2: “Assure a continuing flow of
innovative ideas by seeking creative partnerships, ensuring
adequate staffing, and encouraging resident input.”
Transportation – Priority 1: “Create walkable neighborhoods and
areas within Palm Desert that would include residential; retail;
services and employment centers; and parks, recreation and open
space to reduce the use of low occupancy vehicles.”
The project will include design features to promote climate resiliency and reduce greenhouse
gas emissions, aligning with the California 2030 Natural and Working Lands Climate Change
Implementation Plan that seeks to accelerate programs that provide long-term benefits.

The proposed Project consists of an active sports park. While many natural features
of the site would be retained, park development would include the introduction of
hardscape and impermeable surfaces as well as turfed and landscaped areas. The
park plan includes a multi-use field, child play area, toddler play area, restrooms,
picnic shelters, hardscape, parking lots, bridges, trails, a basketball court, BMX course
improvements, art rocks, a splash pad, a skating area, and a zip line. Additionally,
the Project would retain and incorporate some of the existing site features, such
as Owl Rock, and formalize the unofficial BMX course that exists on the site. There
are three proposed entrances to the site; one at the intersection of Weston Road
and Diana Street, and two entrances that form a horse-shoe drive adjacent to and
accessible from Metz Road. The Project would include on-site signing and road
striping , improve Weston Road and Metz Road to their full local street alignment
along the Project boundary, and provide appropriate sight distance measures in
accordance with Caltrans standards. The Project also includes the under-grounding
of the electrical transmission line that traverses the southern portion of the site
and while the exact alignment is unknown at this time, the alignment will avoid the
riparian area that is to be preserved in its natural state.

Conceptual Phase
Our suggested solution to this project is inherently about community building and
activation, with the understanding that this space, will have the opportunity to be a
multi-general and aspirational. The park will consist of the following programming
including, but not limited to: flexible lawn areas, softball and baseball fields, multi-
purpose field, exercise and fitness trail, educational gardens, basketball courts,
volleyball courts, a skate park and pump track, educational wayfinding, and a
children’s nature playground. Our approach to the design of the project is grouped
into thematic strategies:
•Blurring Boundaries - in order to better integrate the park into the
surrounding neighborhood
•Transforming Edges to Moments - facilitating flexibility of use, visual
connectivity, and designing every space connecting to and in between
elements into spaces that felt purposeful
•Creating Activity Clusters - accessibility to and from programming and
animating the space so that there is a consistent blend of programming
These these strategies, other enhancements such as native landscaping, designing
through CPTED, and celebrating the local culture and diversity through public art
all become proponents of the park’s success. The project team’s vision will help to
maximize the park’s untapped opportunities to serve as cornerstone of community-
building, while remaining relevant
to the growing and changing needs of the City over the next generations.

CGA was approached by the Village of Key Biscayne to reimagine a lot outside
of the Community Center that would inherently create a staple to the village. The
CGA design team approached the project as a timeless design that would relate
to its surrounding functions of government, recreation and open space and would
communicate a continued, upscaled quality. The park’s main component includes
a flexible open lawn area that becomes a ‘civic’ green space used for its versatility.
The lawn area, outside of its passive day-to-day activity, can become a dynamic
space that transforms into event space to hold concerts, food trucks, community
fitness activities, and markets to support programming in the Community Center
and serve as an economic driver to the area.
Other park components include an artwork plaza, a custom pergola design
that enhances the branding of the area, sculptural boulder elements, passive
congregation areas, and a pump track. The project also included lush landscape
improvements, site drainage, and site lighting.
The project is currently under construction.

Miami Beach issued a simple request: to re-design a park. Specifically, the Request
for Qualifications stated that the work products for the North Beach Oceanside
Park would include conceptual drawing(s), surveying, geotechnical, design
development, estimate(s) of probable construction cost, construction documents,
permitting, bidding/award, and construction administration services. Embedded
within the expectations of the City was a critical design component – the final
design must define a new identity for the North Beach community by tapping into
and revealing established values and qualities present in the site. The resultant
design took the densely-vegetated, 30-acre park and conceived it as a series of
carefully orchestrated thresholds where park users will never feel secluded, inactive
or unengaged. The design resulted in a necklace of ‘pods’ that operate as a spine to
the project and serve to protect habitat and increase the City’s management of these
natural resources. The walkways are scaled so that they foster continuous activities in
potentially endless configurable ways and augments the opportunities for resiliency
design by strengthening the dune, utilizing passive green infrastructure and LID
stormwater management strategies. The project also incorporated a rebranding
of the City’s established beachfront with an on-grade beachwalk destined to be a
terminus to the City’s overall transportation infrastructure. The product developed
for the park is one that will provide an immediate transformative quality for the
North Beach Community, it will enhance cultural celebration, and it embodies the
City’s values of good, environmental design and access to great public spaces.

Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. (CGA) was contracted by the City of Miami
Gardens to design a pedestrian trail within Rolling Oaks Park and to provide a safe
route through the surrounding neighborhood to connect the new trail in the park
to an existing walking trail in the Dolphin Center Park located three quarters of
mile away. The design for the trail included new outdoor fitness stations, seating
areas, and LED site lighting. A study was conducted by CGA to determine the
best route for the walkway through the neighborhood and what improvements
would be needed. New crosswalks are being added along with a solar powered,
on-demand pedestrian crossing signal where the trail leaves the park. A custom-
designed way-finding signage program was developed for all of the trailhead
signs, directional signs, and mile markers. This afforded the City of Miami Gardens
a unique opportunity for branding within the community. Besides determining the
best route through the neighborhood, the CGA team had to carefully plan the route
for the trail through the park so as to not disturb the hundreds of existing Live Oak
trees on the site. Using GPS technology, the CGA team worked out the best route
for the trail in the field, and then returned to the office to translate those points
into the final alignment for the pathway. In addition, the existing drainage permit
for the site had to be modified for the trail improvements. These new drainage
facilities also had to be carefully planned to avoid removing any trees. CGA also
provided construction administration services for the project, which was completed
in November, 2014.

The CGA design team’s approach to the County’s request to convert and expand
an existing sand-surfaced playground was to propose a design solution that not
only provided for the requirements, but also push beyond the notions of the
project simply as a playground, and instead approach the project with the intent of
providing a nature-based, educational proposal that speaks to the potential of the
project area and provide a space for children and family’s to grow.
Nature-based play increases play value, child development through stimulation,
health benefits and also environmental sustainability and stewardship. This
playground proposal specifically focused on highlighting the natural history and
lessons of change about the planet, and importance plate tectonics had in specie
evolution. The project consists of two playground pockets binded together through
a central plaza that is focused on immersing the children through a geological
timeline that highlights critical milestones in the development of natural history.
The plaza also has educational signage that is color-coded to a stamped concrete
layer that explains the several layers of the earth.
The playground components reflect different movements of the earth through
landform design, sensory engagement, mounded topography, and the introduction
of planting pockets. Creating this sense of reveal exemplifies the several tectonics
the earth has.

In partnership with Davey Resource Group and Calvin, Giordano and Associates,
Inc. (CGA) has developed an Urban Forestry Master Plan, focused on managing
the City’s trees into the future. The plan establishes a clear set of priorities and
objectives that aid in the management, maintenance, and future planting of trees
throughout the City by providing a sustainable and strategic framework.
CGA’s primary contribution to the master plan was the development of an
implementable ‘Tool Kit’ that advances the recommendations in the master plan to
generate standards that guide the roll-out of these. The ‘Tool Kit’ includes specific
case studies of unique conditions in the City that address the intersection of urban
forestry considerations with issues such as historic preservation, sea-level rise, and
community/neighborhood identities with a focus on satisfying the City’s goal to
have strategies in place to increase resiliency and climate adaptation. Additionally,
the ‘Tool Kit’ establishes acceptable plant palettes and the species’ most desirable
use-situations, as well as constructability standards for balancing adequate root-
growth zones with green infrastructure and urban streetscape build-out conditions.
Finally, the ‘Tool Kit’ establishes a street-tree prioritization plan to guide future
streetscape projects, examines and establishes a metric of measurement to define
“success” in future-planned City projects across several different departments, and
it establishes parameters to facilitate the cost estimating and planning for these
during the budget cycles and scope processes of each project.

Item 1U-53
Iconic architectural elements are important components that
brand the public space and create references for memorable
experiences. We also recognize that they are increasingly
also a way to market and promote the public space. We
approach the incorporation of inspirational architectural
elements from the stand-point that they should serve two
main functions: memorialize the history and ethos of place
and engage users’ needs while satisfying their desires and
aspirations. To do this, we incorporate architectural elements
as a tool to create and enhance the sense of ‘100%-location’,
or what we could call the ‘selfie moment’ - moment of high
desirability.
While serving to communicate the values and identity of
the community, creating moments that people want to
document as an integral part of their experience and one
which they will post on social media is a way to embed a
self-promoting marketing strategy into the park’s design to
strengthen its role as a destination location, while solidifying
its relationship and meaning with the community. This is
achieved by aiming to create design excellence, including
fine grain architectural detailing as a integral component
of achieving a high quality outcome for this project. This
will be essential in achieving a human scale, providing visual
interest, diversity, and creating features that makes the
collective space unique and strengthen the users’ ties to it
over time.

REPORT BACKGROUND
The project statistics have been calculated based on half
mile radius around the point location selected. Only park
acres within the project area's half mile radius are reported.
Population and people in poverty are calculated by
determining the percent of any census block-groups that
intersect with the project area. The project area is then
assigned the sum of all the census block-group portions. An
equal distribution in census block-groups is assumed. Rural
areas are calculated at a census block level to improve
results.
Median household and per capita income are calculated as
a weighted average of the census block- group values that
fall within the project area.
More information on the calculations is available on the
methods page.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 22, 2023
PREPARED BY: Thomas Soule, Public Affairs Manager
REQUEST: EXTEND PALM DESERT AQUATIC CENTER MARKETING SERVICES
CONTRACT WITH FG CREATIVE
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Authorize the first of two possible one-year extension options of contract No. A43790 with
FG Creative for Palm Desert Aquatic Center Marketing Services.
2. Authorize the City Attorney to make non-substantive changes to the contract and the City
Manager to execute the contract on behalf of the City.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
Prior City Action:
On July 1, 2022, after an RFP process, the City entered into Contract No. A43790 with FG
Creative to provide marketing services for the Palm Desert Aquatic Center (PDAC) in the amount
of $40,000. The administrative contract, ratified by Council on June 8, 2023, has a one-year term
with two possible one-year extensions.
Project Description:
The City contracts with the YMCA of the Desert to manage PDAC. In addition, the City pays for
marketing services to help promote the facility and its services throughout the year. FG Creative
has provided these marketing services for more than eight years, having most recently won the
contract after a formal bidding process in 2022.
FG Creative works with PDAC management on the marketing plan under the direction of the
City’s Public Affairs manager. The goal of the program is to help raise awareness of the center
and bring customers to the site for swimming lessons, lap swimming, recreational swimming,
and other activities. Staff meets monthly with FG Creative and PDAC management to review
marketing activities and update the marketing plan as needed.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funds for this contract were included in the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Aquatic Facility budget and
upon budget approval by the City Council will be available in the Professional Other Account No.
2424549-4309000. No additional fiscal impact is created by this request.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 22, 2023
PREPARED BY: Deborah Glickman, Management Analyst
REQUEST: ADOPT A RESOLUTION DECLARING EIGHT (8) CITY OF PALM
DESERT OWNED PARCELS AND A RESOLUTION DECLARING SEVEN
(7) PALM DESERT SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCY OWNED PARCELS LOCATED ON DESERT WILLOW DRIVE
SURPLUS LAND AND AUTHORIZE STAFF TO RELEASE A NOTICE OF
AVAILABILITY FOR THE SALE OF THE FIFTEEN (15) PARCELS
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt a Resolution declaring City of Palm Desert owned properties located on Desert Willow
Drive with Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APN) 620-370-002 (.20 acres), 620-370-003 (.20
acres), 620-370-004 (1.56 acres), 620-370-017 (.69 acres), 620-370-018 (1.02 acres), 620-370-
020 (3.61 acres), 620-370-033 (.94 acres), 620-370-043 (2.92 acres) surplus for the purposes
of the Surplus Land Act (SLA).
2. Adopt a Resolution declaring Palm Desert Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency
(SARDA) properties located on Desert Willow Drive with APNs 620-450-012 (16.91 acres),
620-450-013 (1.37 acres), 620-450-014 (.45 acres), 620-450-016 (.85 acres), 620-450-017
(.19 acres), 620-450-018 (.67 acres), 620-450-020 (13.67 acres) surplus for the purposes of
the SLA.
3. Authorize staff to release a Notice of Availability (NOA) for the sale of the fifteen (15)
properties as a single unit.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The fifteen (15) parcels above were identified as a part of the June 2014 State of California State
Department of Finance approved Long Range Property Management Plan (LRPMP).
Subsequent to the approval of the LRPMP, SARDA sold eight (8) of the parcels to the City. All
of the parcels will be disposed of in accordance with the SLA. The SARDA parcels will also be
disposed of in accordance with requirements for the disposition of properties on the LRPMP.
At its meeting on December 15, 2022, the City Council and Successor Agency to the Palm
Desert Redevelopment Agency (SARDA) Board approved a “Central Inventory” of City and
SARDA owned properties. This inventory was developed to comply with the Surplus Land Act
(SLA), which requires that an inventory must be approved and submitted annually to the State
of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) pursuant to
Government Code Section 54230(a)(2).
Lot Pads C, D, and E located on Desert Willow Drive were included on the Central Inventory as
parcels to be designated as surplus property and not necessary for City/SARDA use are.
Item 1W-1
City/SARDA
Disposition of Properties – Desert Willow C, D, and E
Page 2 of 4
In order to dispose of these properties, the City and SARDA must first go through the formal
process of declaring the properties surplus, consistent with the Surplus Land Act (SLA). The
proposed action would satisfy this requirement with respect to the properties identified above.
Once the attached Resolutions are approved, Notices of Availability (NOA) will be sent to
designated entities who will have sixty (60) days to notify the City and SARDA of their interest in
acquiring the properties. If any interest is expressed in accordance with the requirements of the
SLA, the City and SARDA are required to engage in good faith negotiations for a period of not
less than ninety (90) days in an attempt to reach a sales price and terms.
The SLA allows for the parcels to be sold at fair market value and does not require the City and
SARDA to change the parcels’ zoning designation.
Following these steps, the City and SARDA must provide the California Department of Housing
and Community Development (HCD) with a notification detailing the Notice of
Availability/negotiation process. HCD will have thirty (30) days to review this process for
compliance with the SLA. At the end of the thirty (30) day period, the City and SARDA may sell
the properties. If the City and SARDA do not agree to price and terms with any of the designated
entities, or if no designated entity respond to the NOA, the City may dispose of the properties
outside of the SLA.
The SLA process as noted above does not authorize the disposition of the properties. Staff is
required to return to the City Council and SARDA Board for approval to sell the parcels either
through the SLA process or outside of SLA.
Project Description:
With this report, staff is seeking approval to initiate the disposition of the fifteen (15) parcels
known together as Lot Pads C, D, and E as a single 45.25-acre unit. The properties will be sold
at fair market value pursuant to the SLA process. The City and SARDA properties are below.

Proceeds from the sale allocable to the SARDA parcels will be transmitted to the Riverside
County Auditor-Controller for distribution to the appropriate taxing agencies as required by the
State. The SARDA parcels sale proceeds allocated to the City would be allocated to the
Economic Development Capital Fund.
These parcels have been reviewed with respect to the applicability of the California
Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) (“CEQA”). City staff
has determined that the designation of these parcels as surplus does not have the potential for
creating a significant effect on the environment and are therefore exempt from further review
under CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) because it is not a project
as defined by the CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. When the parcels are sold to a purchaser
and that purchaser proposes a use for the parcels that requires a discretionary permit and CEQA
review, that future use and project will be analyzed at the appropriate time in accordance with
CEQA.
A map of the parcels is attached to this staff report.
If approved, staff will release an NOA in the first week of July 2023, with a close of the SLA
process 150 days after the release date (December 1, 2023).
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The sale of these parcels will require professional real estate transaction services including a
title review, appraisal, and escrow. Funds for this purpose have been included in the FY 2023/24
budget request in account number 1104430-4309000.

WHEREAS, the City of Palm Desert (“City”) is the owner in fee simple of that certain
real property with Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APN) 620-370-002 (.20 acres), 620-370-003
(.20 acres), 620-370-004 (1.56 acres), 620-370-017 (.69 acres), 620-370-018 (1.02 acres),

Palm Desert and described in Exhibit “A,” attached hereto and made a part of hereof
(“Property”); and
WHEREAS, under the Surplus Land Act, Government Code Sections 54220-54234
(“Act”), surplus land is land owned in fee simple by the City for which the City Council takes
formal action in a regular public meeting declaring the land is surplus land and not necessary
for the City’s use. The land must be declared either surplus or exempt surplus land; and
WHEREAS, under the Act, land is necessary for the City’s use if the land is being
used, or is planned to be used pursuant to a written plan adopted by the City Council for City
work or operations; and
WHEREAS, the Property, which is improved with an unoccupied single-family home,
is not being used for City work or operations and City staff has evaluated the Property for its
potential to be used for City work or operations; and
WHEREAS, City staff has determined that the Property is not suitable for the City’s
use; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to declare that the Property is surplus land and
not necessary for the City’s use; and
WHEREAS, the Act requires that before the City Council disposes of the Property or
engages in negotiations to dispose of the Property, the City shall send a written notice of
availability of the Property to certain designated entities in accordance with the Act; and
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council hereby resolves as follows:
SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are a substantive part of this
Resolution.
Item 1W-5
-2-
SECTION 2. The City Council hereby declares that the Property is surplus land and
not necessary for the City’s use within the meaning of the Act. The basis for this declaration
is that due to the size, location, and development on the Property, the site is not feasible for
the City’s use.
SECTION 3. The City Clerk is hereby directed to send a notice of availability of the
Property for sale, to the entities designated in Government Code Section 54222 (“Designated
Entities”) by electronic mail or by certified mail.
SECTION 4. This Resolution has been reviewed with respect to the applicability of
the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.)
(“CEQA”). City staff has determined that the designation of the Property as surplus land does
not have the potential for creating a significant effect on the environment and is therefore
exempt from further review under CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section
15060(c)(3) because it is not a project as defined by the CEQA Guidelines Section 15378.
Adoption of the Resolution does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical
change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment. If and when the Property is sold to a purchaser and that purchaser proposes a
use for the Property that requires a discretionary permit and CEQA review, that future use
and project will be analyzed at the appropriate time in accordance with CEQA.
SECTION 5. The City Clerk is directed to file a Notice of Exemption pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Section 15062.
SECTION 6. The officers and staff of the City are hereby authorized, jointly and
severally, to do all things which they may deem necessary or proper to effectuate the
purposes of the Resolution, and any such actions previously taken are hereby ratified and
confirmed. Such actions include negotiating in good faith in accordance with the
requirements of the Act with any of the Designated Entities that submit a written notice of
interest to purchase the Property in compliance with the Act.

WHEREAS, under the Surplus Land Act, Government Code Sections 54220-
54234 (“Act”), surplus land is land owned in fee simple by SARDA for which the SARDA
Board takes formal action in a regular public meeting declaring the land is surplus land
and not necessary for SARDA’s use. The land must be declared either surplus or exempt
surplus land; and
WHEREAS, under the Act, land is necessary for SARDA’s use if the land is being
used, or is planned to be used pursuant to a written plan adopted by the SARDA Board
for SARDA work or operations; and
WHEREAS, the Properties, which are vacant, are not being used for SARDA work
or operations and SARDA staff has evaluated the Properties for its potential to be used
for SARDA work or operations; and
WHEREAS, SARDA staff has determined that the Properties are not suitable for
SARDA’s use; and
WHEREAS, the SARDA Board desires to declare that the Properties are surplus
land and not necessary for SARDA’s use; and
WHEREAS, the Act requires that before the SARDA Board disposes of the
Properties or engages in negotiations to dispose of the Properties, SARDA shall send a
written notice of availability of the Properties to certain designated entities in accordance
with the Act;
Item 1W-8
-2-
NOW, THEREFORE, the SARDA Board hereby resolves as follows:
SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are a substantive part of
this Resolution.
SECTION 2. The SARDA Board hereby declares that the Properties are surplus
land and not necessary for SARDA’s use within the meaning of the Act. The basis for this
declaration is that due to the size, location, and development on the Properties, the site
is not feasible for SARDA’s use.
SECTION 3. The City Clerk is hereby directed to send a notice of availability of the
Properties for sale, to the entities designated in Government Code Section 54222
(“Designated Entities”) by electronic mail or by certified mail.
SECTION 4. This Resolution has been reviewed with respect to the applicability
of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et
seq.) (“CEQA”). SARDA staff has determined that the designation of the Properties as
surplus land does not have the potential for creating a significant effect on the
environment and is therefore exempt from further review under CEQA pursuant to State
CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) because it is not a project as defined by the CEQA
Guidelines Section 15378. Adoption of the Resolution does not have the potential for
resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable
indirect physical change in the environment. If and when the Properties are sold to a
purchaser and that purchaser proposes a use for these Properties that requires a
discretionary permit and CEQA review, that future use and project will be analyzed at the
appropriate time in accordance with CEQA.
SECTION 5. The City Clerk is directed to file a Notice of Exemption pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines Section 15062.
SECTION 6. The officers and staff of SARDA are hereby authorized, jointly and
severally, to do all things which they may deem necessary or proper to effectuate the
purposes of the Resolution, and any such actions previously taken are hereby ratified and
confirmed. Such actions include negotiating in good faith in accordance with the
requirements of the Act with any of the Designated Entities that submit a written notice of
interest to purchase the Properties in compliance with the Act.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 22, 2023
PREPARED BY: Chris Escobedo, Assistant City Manager
REQUEST: APPROVE A THIRD AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT FOR LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES BETWEEN THE CITY OF PALM DESERT
AND THE COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE FOR THE ADDITION OF A SCHOOL
RESOURCE OFFICER
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a third amendment to the agreement for law enforcement services between the City of
Palm Desert and the County of Riverside for the addition of a school resource officer at Palm
Desert Charter Middle school, and authorize the Mayor to execute the amendment.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The Palm Desert Sheriff’s Station currently utilizes one School Resource Officer (SRO) position,
which is assigned to Palm Desert High School (PDHS). The City and Desert Sands Unified
School District (District) split the cost of the SRO on a 50/50 basis. There was an SRO previously
assigned to Palm Desert Charter Middle School (PDCMS), but the school withdrew its funding
in fiscal year 2021 due to fiscal constraints. At the June 8, 2023 City Council Meeting, the
Council approved a new MOU with the District to re-establish the cost-sharing partnership.
Approval of this amendment would add the position formally back on the City’s contract with the
County for law enforcement services and authorize the County to fill the position. Once
approved, the County will fill the position by July of this year, send the individual selected for
school resource officer training, and would start with the new school year.
Strategic Plan: This item is related to the Public Safety and Emergency Services section of the
Palm Desert Strategic plan under Priority 1: Enhance the delivery of public safety services.
Adding the SRO will provide a dedicated resource to a school site and enhance school safety.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The total cost for an SRO is $170,956.80. Council approved the MOU on June 8th, the City
would contribute half of the cost of $85,478.40. Funds are identified in the proposed FY 2023/24
budget for police services.

CITY OF PALM DESERT
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 22, 2023
PREPARED BY: Eric Ceja, Director of Economic Development
REQUEST: PROVIDE STAFF DIRECTION TO PROCEED WITH ALTERNATIVE
DESIGN OPTIONS FOR LUPINE PLAZA PROJECT (PROJECT NO.
CST00015)
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Provide staff direction to proceed with Design Option No. 1 from the conceptual design study
prepared by M.I.G for improvements to Lupine Lane and to prepare the necessary
construction drawings, California Environmental Quality Act analysis, engineering services,
and all other services associated with the final design and construction of a permanent Lupine
Plaza.
2. Authorize the City Manager to sign and make necessary changes and amendments to the
contract with Interwest Consulting Group, Inc. (“Interwest”) to reflect changes to the project
scope.
3. Authorize Director of Finance to reduce budget allocation to desired Option amount for the
project.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
In September 2020, as a response to the State of California’s COVID-19 restrictions on business
operations, the City of Palm Desert installed a temporary plaza that closed traffic for a section
of Lupine Lane north of El Paseo. The plaza provided an outdoor rest and eating area for visitors
to El Paseo and a space for local restaurants to serve food. The temporary plaza was removed
as of December 2021.
In April 2022, the City Council authorized staff to work with M.I.G. consultants to explore various
options to reinstate the elements of the temporary Lupine Plaza. Attached to this report is the
consultant’s study, in which provided two (2) options for various degrees of improvements to the
corridor.
• Option 1: “Slow Street” – vehicle lanes remain open, pedestrian enhancements.
• Option 2: “Full Permanent Plaza” – close street to vehicle traffic, add pedestrian amenities.
At the same meeting the City Council provided direction to move forward with Option 2 of the
conceptual design package, and appropriated $4,000,000 to fund the project at the June 23,
2022 City Council meeting. On September 29, 2022, the City Council approved a contract with
Interwest to prepare the necessary documents to move forward with Option 2.
Property and business owners, in proximity to Lupine, have expressed concern with the full street
closure and have requested a reduction to the project scope to keep the street open for vehicular
traffic. Staff has continued to engage these owners to provide project updates and recently heard
Item 2B-1
City of Palm Desert
Lupine Plaza Direction – Option 1
Page 2 of 3
feedback from this group that a reduced project scope, which would retain vehicle circulation at
the street, would be supported.
Strategic Plan:
• Land Use, Housing & Open Space – Priority 1: “Enhance Palm Desert as a first-class
destination for premier shopping and national retail businesses.”
• Land Use, Housing & Open Space – Priority 5: “Utilize progressive land-use
policies and standards to support ongoing and future needs.”
• Tourism and Marketing – Priority 1: “Improve access to Palm Desert and its attractions to
enhance the ease of lifestyle.”
• Transportation – Priority 1: “Create walkable neighborhoods and areas within Palm
Desert that would include residential, retail, services and employment centers, and parks,
recreation, and open space to reduce the use of low occupancy vehicles.”
Project Description:
Staff is seeking City Council direction to either:
- Reaffirm the Option 2 design and proceed with the current full-street closure, or
- Amend existing contracts, as necessary, with Interwest and proceed with the Option 1
design for “slow street” improvements
The approved contract with Interwest is in the amount of $562,135 for the full engineering design
and construction plans to complete the full closure of Lupine Plaza. Approximately $101,000 of
the contract has been spent to date. If direction is given to proceed with the Option 1 design, an
amendment to the contract with Interwest is needed to reflect the reduced scope of work. An
amended contract would reduce the contract amount from $562,135 to an estimated $385,000.
Based on the estimated project cost, the City Council appropriated $4,000,000 to fund Option 2
of the project. Current cost estimates for the Option 2 design is around $2,500,000, while the
cost estimate for Option 1 is $1,200,000.
The design and engineering of the project is anticipated to last through the remainder of the year
regardless of which Option the City Council selects. However, the construction timeline of the
project is anticipated to be reduce by 2-months with Option 2.

Scope Budget Timeline Business Owner
Support
Option 1 $1.2M 22-months (October ‘24) Yes
Option 2 $2.5M 24-months (December '24) No
Difference $1.3M 2 months
Environment Review:
The reduced scope of the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) under section 15301(c) of the CEQA Guidelines.

Lupine Plaza Direction – Option 1
Page 3 of 3
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City Council has appropriated $4,000,000 to the construction of this project. To date,
$562,135, has been allocated for design services with Interwest. It is anticipated that the reduced
project scope will require an amendment to the contract with Interwest Consulting to reduce the
contract from $562,135 to an estimated $385,000 and a reduction to the project cost from
$4,000,000 to $1,200,000.

RECOMMENDATION:

Financial questions and process of withdrawal from the County system
At the meeting, the Council authorized the Mayor to seek out members for a Library Taskforce
and directed staff to further research and return with additional information on the option to
pursue fully taking over the Palm Desert Library and have it operated as a municipal library.
On June 8, 2022, the City Council voted to form and appoint the library task force. Since the
May 11th meeting, staff has spent time meeting with County officials to ensure the information
presented is both accurate and agreed upon, as well as meeting with Library Systems and
Services (LS&S) staff on their plans for service improvements. County and LS&S staff have
Item 2C-1
City of Palm Desert
Palm Desert Library
Page 2 of 4
expressed their strong intention of improving service levels and increasing responsiveness to
the public for current service delivery.
Since the inception of library services and partnership with the County, there have been several
agreements related to the allocation of Palm Desert tax dollars to the County and their benefit
to Palm Desert residents. According to the Riverside County Auditor Controller’s Report,
approximately $4.6 million in revenue is generated from property tax and former redevelopment
pass thru tax revenue from Palm Desert residents in fiscal year 2022/23. Of that amount, $3.7M
is generated by the former redevelopment agency pass thru revenues and $900,000 in residual
property tax. The County has indicated it is currently spending approximately $1.5 million
annually for library services in Palm Desert.
Additionally, with the dissolution of redevelopment in 2012, the City was required by state law to
remit all pass thru funds held, pursuant to the agreements, to the County for a total of $10 million.
Following the remittance of Library Funds, the City requested and was able to secure $4M to
buy-out the remainder of the building and lease from the Desert Community College District who
at the time was interested in selling. City staff recently met with representatives of Desert
Community College District and they expressed their plans to continue to operate their portion
of the existing library, which would provide an opportunity to request reallocation of the $4M
towards a new facility.
In staff’s estimation it would take $10M to $15M to fully renovate the existing library facility (not
including the Desert Community College District portion), which at such point should warrant
consideration of construction of either 1 or 2 new “City owned” library facilities with different
programmatic focus in both the north and south areas of the City.
Based on this information, City staff asked the County how the financials would work if the City
remained or withdrew from the County library system. Below is the summary:
Remain with County System
•
•
•
•
County will work with work with City to increase service levels.
City does not have to pay additional; Existing library revenue to be used.
$4M reserved by County from former RDA library pass through.
County willing to partner with the City to use the $4M for a new City library.
Withdraw from the County System
•
•
•
It is estimated that $2.6M (of the $4.6M) annually would be redirected to the City and
would adjust based on annual economic conditions.
The County estimates current annual library expenditures at $1.5M annually.
County staff is supportive of transferring the $4M reserved by County for the City to
construct a new facility, Board approval and negotiations with Desert Community
College would need to take place.
Based on the current library operation expense, the revenue projected revenue exceeds the
cost, which would support withdrawal. At the same time, the County is willing to work with the

CITY OF PALM DESERT/PALM DESERT HOUSING AUTHORITY
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: June 14, 2022
PREPARED BY: Jessica Gonzales, Housing Manager
REQUEST: APPROVE AMENDED AND RESTATED DISPOSITION, DEVELOPMENT
AND LOAN AGREEMENT, RELATED RESOLUTIONS, LOANS IN THE
AMOUNT OF $3,425,000 AND $3,330,000 RESPECTIVELY FROM THE
CITY AND THE AUTHORITY, AND ACTIONS RELATED TO THE
CONVEYANCE OF THE PARCELS IDENTIFIED AS APN 694-120-028
AND A PORTION OF 694-120-029 FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve a City Resolution and an Authority Resolution approving an Amended and Restated
Disposition, Development and Loan Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto
(“Amended and Restated DDLA”) and its exhibits, for the purchase of the Property and
construction of 239 affordable housing units and two manager units in one phase (“Project”).
2. Authorize the City to make a purchase money loan to the Developer for the purchase price
of the Property ($3,425,000), to be repaid from a percentage of residual receipts (i.e., net
income) from the Project over the term of the loan, with any accrued interest and unpaid
principal coming due 55 years from the completion of the Project, with such loan being
secured by a subordinate deed of trust on the Project.
3. Authorize the Director of Finance to appropriate from Unobligated Housing Asset Fund
balance to the appropriate budget line item.
4. Authorize the Director of Finance to designate the repayment of the City loan for the purpose
of future affordable housing.
5. Authorize Mayor/Chairman, staff, and legal counsel to execute and record agreements and
necessary documents to effectuate the resolutions, including the conveyance of the Property,
the funding commitments, and related actions for the Project as set forth in the Amended and
Restated DDLA.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On October 13, 2022, City Council approved the conveyance of a City owned 10-acre parcel
identified as APN 694-120-028 and a 0.49-acre parcel identified as a portion of APN 694-120-
029 (the “Property”) to Palm Companies, LLC (“Developer”) and the Housing Authority Board
approved loans in the total amount of $6,755,000 to the Developer pursuant to a Disposition,
Development and Loan Agreement, (“DDLA”), for the purchase of the Property and construction
of 239 affordable housing units and two manager units in two phases (“Project”).
As part of the approval, the Developer was authorized to submit applications to the various
financial funding sources identified for the Project. The application submitted to the California
Debt Limit Allocation Committee (“CDLAC”) did not score sufficient points for an allocation of
tax-exempt bonds (“Tax-Exempt Bonds”) and federal and state tax credits (“Tax Credits”).
However, the Project did receive a $6,700,000 loan from the County of Riverside (“County”) as
well as 45 project-based vouchers (“PBVs”).
Item 2D-1
City of Palm Desert and Housing Authority
Amended and Restated DDLA – Palm Communities
Page 2 of 5
As a result, the Developer, now known as Palm Companies, LLC, is requesting amendments to
the DDLA to extend the escrow closing to June 2026, extend the project completion date to
June 30, 2028, to modify the Project to consist of only one phase, modify the City and Authority’s
affordability restrictions, the City provide a loan in the amount of $3,425,000 (fair market
purchase price), and decrease the Authority’s loans from the Low and Moderate Income Housing
Asset Fund (“Housing Funds”) from $6,755,000 to $3,330,000.
Attached is the proposed Amended and Restated DDLA among the City, Authority and
Developer. Adoption of the resolutions will approve the Amended and Restated DDLA with the
Developer, which provides for the conveyance of the Property in one phase and two loan
commitments in the amount of $3,425,000 and $3,330,000 respectively from the City’s purchase
price of the Property (the “City Loan”) and the Authority’s Housing Funds (the “Authority Loan”),
pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated DDLA.
The Amended and Restated DDLA requires the City to sell the Property to the Developer for a
total of three million four hundred twenty-five thousand ($3,425,000) and also carryback a loan
in the same amount instead of receiving $3,425,000 in cash at the time of sale. The purpose of
this change is to allow the Project to receive additional points in the MHP Loan application. The
Amended and Restated DDLA also decreases the Authority Loan from $6,755,000 from the
Housing Fund to $3,330,000 to the Developer for construction. The Developer has also
requested that the affordability unit mix be slightly modified in order to allow for the MHP Loan
request to be maximized. Finally, the Amended and Restated DDLA authorizes the
City/Authority’s staff and legal counsel to proceed to execute and record any agreements and
documents deemed necessary for the conveyance of the Property and the financing and
construction of the Project, including the City Manager’s right to terminate if Tax-Exempt Bonds
are not awarded to the Project by end of 2024.
If the required funding sources are awarded to the Project, the Property owned by the City will
be sold, subject to satisfaction of the conditions to closing for a single phased Project, which are
typical closing conditions for a DDLA. Conditions to the closing of the sale of the Property include
the recording of a parcel map, payment of grading permit fees and all final parcel map fees and
recording of certain easements (which may occur at the close of escrow) for access over a
portion of adjacent property owned by the City (providing access to remove sand adjacent to a
future boundary wall).
The attached City and Authority resolutions approve the Amended and Restated DDLA,
including the exhibits attached thereto, substantially in the form presented to the City Council
and Authority Board at this meeting (“Amended and Restated DDLA Documents”) and authorize
staff and officers of the City and Authority to finalize, execute and record the Amended and
Restated DDLA Documents, as applicable, and any other agreements and documents
necessary to implement the Amended and Restated DDLA Documents at the closing of escrow.
Project:
The Project will be operated for a period of fifty-five (55) years following the date of Certificate
of Occupancy (“COO”) for the Project to provide rental housing affordable to persons and
families of low and extremely low income in accordance with the affordability restrictions
Item 2D-2
City of Palm Desert and Housing Authority
Amended and Restated DDLA – Palm Communities
Page 3 of 5
contained in the Amended and Restated DDLA Documents and in accordance with the MHP
guidelines, Tax-Exempt Bonds, 4% Federal Tax Credits, County Loan and PBVs being used to
finance the Project. To the extent necessary, the City and the Authority will subordinate the
deed of trust securing the Loan (as described below) to the liens and encumbrances of the
Project’s construction and permanent lenders. However, the City and Authority will not
subordinate their interests in the Density Bonus Housing Agreement (described below) or the
City and Authority Housing Agreements (described below) to such liens or encumbrances.
Contractor:
The Project contractor will be an affiliate of the Developer. In lieu of requiring multiple bids from
third party contractors, City staff has confirmed that the contract price is reasonable given the
requirement of State and Federal prevailing wages, increasing interest rates and construction
costs. However, the Amended and Restated DDLA requires, as a condition to closing, that the
Developer provide to the Authority the primary construction lender’s cost analysis, or,
alternatively, that the Developer pay for a City obtained cost review.
Density Bonus Housing Agreement: In order to develop the 241-unit Project, the approved
entitlements include the use of the City’s Density Bonus Ordinance, which also allows for fewer
parking spaces to be included in the Project than required by the City’s Municipal Code. The
Density Bonus provision was able to be used by the Project because at least 20% of the units
will be restricted to Very-Low Income households. The Density Bonus Housing Agreement has
a term of fifty-five (55) years from COO.
City Loan Terms. The City Loan shall be in the principal amount of $3,425,000, and the City
Loan will commence from the completion of the Project and have a term of fifty-five (55) years
from the COO, bear simple interest at three percent (3%) per annum and will be repaid from a
proportional share of fifty percent (50%) of the Project’s residual receipts and the loan will be
due and payable at the end of the loan term. The City loan will be used for acquisition of the
Property. Staff recommends the repayment of the City loan be designated for future affordable
housing.
Authority Loan Terms. The Authority Loan shall be in the principal amount of $3,330,000 from
the Authority’s Housing Asset Fund, and commence as of the effective date of the Loan
Agreement and have a term of fifty-five (55) years from the COO, bear simple interest at three
percent (3%) per annum and will be repaid from a proportional share of fifty percent (50%) of the
Project’s residual receipts and the Authority Loan will be due and payable at the end of the loan
term. The Authority loan will be used for some of the costs of construction.
City and Authority Housing Agreements: The Housing Agreements for the Project will restrict all
units in the Project to households that have incomes that do not exceed the following
percentages of the Riverside County area median (AMI) income: 72 units restricted to 30% of
the AMI or less (approximately 30% of the units), 121 units restricted to 59% of the AMI or less
(approximately 50% of the units), and 46 units restricted to 80% of the AMI or less (approximately
20% of the units). One two-bedroom unit and one three-bedroom unit will be set-aside for the
onsite managers.

City of Palm Desert and Housing Authority

Total development costs for the single phased Project, including land costs, are estimated at
$155,370,000. The Project is intended to be funded by leveraging multiple funding sources
including: State MHP Loan, Tax-Exempt Bond proceeds, 4% Federal Tax Credits, a $6,700,000
County Loan, an aggregate of one-hundred and twenty (120) PBVs provided by the County,
deferred and contributed developer fee, the City and Authority Loans.
In order to evaluate the Developer’s funding request, the Authority engaged the services of
Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. (“KMA”), a state-wide provider of affordable housing consulting
services, to provide technical assistance related to determining whether or not the Project's
updated pro forma projections, feasibility and the request for the Loans were reasonable.
In evaluating the Developer’s request for the City and Authority Loans to assist with the purchase
of the Property and construction of the Project in one phase, KMA conducted a detailed review
of the Developer's pro forma. The Project's assumptions, methodologies, and calculations were
reviewed and evaluated for reasonableness and accuracy. KMA presented its analysis in a
financial gap analysis memorandum, dated June 13, 2023, which is attached to this staff report.
KMA’s analysis concluded that the Project still has a $6,755,000 financial gap, or $28,000 per
unit, thus the Developer’s request for financial assistance is still warranted. In comparison, the
Authority agreed to provide $22,400 per unit in assistance to the Vitalia project in August 2021
and $41,100 per unit to the Urban Housing Community (“UHC”) project in July 2022.
KMA concludes in their financial gap analysis memorandum:
1. The $644,700 per unit estimate for total development costs are reasonable given the
Project scope of work, federal and state prevailing wage requirements, increasing interest
rates and current inflationary market conditions.
2. The total development costs increased by 20% since the last KMA analysis in October
2022 due to the Developer not including all of the costs associated with the onsite
improvement conditions of approval in the October 2022 pro forma and interest rates
increasing significantly during that same time period.
3. While the financial gap remains at $6,755,000, the Authority will not be providing the land
purchase price ($3,425,000) from the Housing Fund. Instead, the City will not receive an
upfront payment for the Site but instead carryback a residual receipts loan that is
estimated to generate approximately $735,000 in present value terms. In contrast, the
Authority will only be providing $3,330,000 from the Housing Asset Fund to the Project
and will have an additional $3,425,000 to spend on another affordable housing project.
4. For RHNA purposes, the City will be able to add 72 extremely-low income units to the
City’s housing inventory as well as 24 very-low income units, and 143 low income units
(59% AMI and 80% AMI) and two above moderate units.
5. The Project meets the State compliance requirements for use of the Housing Funds of at
least 30% of the Housing Funds are being spent on extremely-low income households
and no more than 20% of the Housing Funds are being used to benefit households
earning 60% to 80% AMI.
By making the City and Authority Loans to the Developer, the City and Authority will benefit from
239 units restricted to extremely-low and low income households for a term of 55-years.

Therefore, staff requests approval of the actions described herein in order to allow the Developer
to meet the deadline to submit an MHP application to the State and pursue the other funding
sources identified. If the City Council and Authority Board approve such request and the
Developer is awarded the proposed funding sources, staff and legal counsel will finalize the
DDLA Documents, which were provided in substantial form at this meeting, and any other
documents deemed necessary or proper for the conveyance of the Property and the financing
and construction of the Project.
Strategic Plan:
One of the priorities of the City’s Envision Palm Desert Strategic Plan, as part of Land, Use,
Housing and Open Space, is to facilitate development of high-quality housing for people of all
income levels. This request meets that objective by diversifying the City’s housing stock for
lower income households.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
An appropriation from the Authority’s Housing Fund will be decreased from the previously
approved $6,755,000 to an amount not to exceed $3,330,000, or $13,800 per unit. Funds are
available from the Authority’s Housing Fund unobligated fund balance. The above-identified
funding will only be provided upon the Developer’s satisfaction of the Amended and Restated
DDLA terms and conditions contained therein, including, but not limited to, providing proof,
satisfactory to the Authority, that the Developer has financing commitments from all other
sources of financing necessary to fund the Project as permit ready.
The financial impact to the City is that the Amended and Restated DDLA no longer provides the
City with an upfront cash payment for the Site. Instead, the City will convey the Site to the
Developer and carry a City Loan that will be repaid by the Developer from a share of residual
receipts that is projected to generate approximately $735,000 in present value terms. Staff
recommends designating the loan repayment for future affordable housing purposes.

sand adjacent to a future boundary wall.
J. Developer has applied for and received a density bonus (including reduced parking
and increased density) for the Development pursuant to City Resolution No. 2022-24.
K. The City has determined in City Resolution 2022-24 that the proposed project does
not require additional review under the California Environmental Quality Act.

the City and Authority make the applicable secured residual receipts loan as described in
the Amended and Restated DDLA; such secured loan is to provide that failure to comply
with the Schedule of Performance attached to the Amended and Restated DDLA shall be
a default under the applicable loan.

APPROVING AN “AMENDED AND RESTATED DISPOSITION,
DEVELOPMENT AND LOAN AGREEMENT” REGARDING “PALM
VILLAS AT MILLENIUM” AMONG THE AUTHORITY, AS LENDER, THE
CITY OF PALM DESERT, AS SELLER, AND PALM COMMUNITIES, A
CALIFORNIA CORPORATION, AS BUYER/BORROWER/DEVELOPER,
APPROPRIATING FUNDS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, AND TAKING
RELATED ACTIONS
RECITALS:
A. Pursuant to AB X1 26 (enacted in June 2011) and the California Supreme
Court’s decision in California Redevelopment Association, et al. v. Ana Matosantos, et
al., 53 Cal. 4th 231 (2011), the former Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency (the “Former
Agency”) was dissolved as of February 1, 2012, the Successor Agency to the Palm
Desert Redevelopment Agency (the “Successor Agency”), as the successor entity to the
Former Agency, was constituted, and a board of the Successor Agency (the “Board”)
was established.
B. AB X1 26 added Part 1.8 (commencing with Section 34161) and Part 1.85
(commencing with Section 34170) to Division 24 of the California Health and Safety Code
(“HSC”) (such Parts 1.8 and 1.85, including amendments and supplements enacted after
AB X1 26, being referred to herein as the “Dissolution Act”).
C. Pursuant to HSC Section 34176(b), the City Council of the City of Palm
Desert (the “City”) adopted Resolution No. 2012-07, electing for the City to not retain the
responsibility for performing housing functions previously performed by the Former
Agency, and determining that all of the assets, as allowed by law, and all rights, powers,
liabilities, duties, and obligations associated with the housing activities of the Former
Agency, including unexpended funds that are to be used for low income housing, be
transferred to the Palm Desert Housing Authority (the “Authority”).
D. Palm Communities, a California corporation (the “Developer”) intends to
acquire approximately 10.49 acres of land from the City of Palm Desert (the “Property”)
and proposes to construct thereon a 241-unit multi-family residential apartment
community for households with incomes up to 80% of the area median income in one
phase, as well as access and sand maintenance easements (the “Project”). The Property
and easements, and the Project, are more particularly described in the Amended and
Restated Disposition, Development and Loan Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit “A”
(“DDLA”).

MEMORANDUM
To: Jessica Gonzales, Housing Manager
Palm Desert Housing Authority
From: Julie Romey
Date: June 13, 2023
Subject: Palm Villas at Millennium – Updated Financial Gap Analysis
At the request of the Housing Authority (“Authority”) in the City of Palm Desert (City),
Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. (“KMA”) prepared an updated financial gap analysis to
reflect the Palm Companies, LLC (“Developer”) revised proposal to develop a 241 unit
affordable apartment project (“Project”) on the 10.49-acre City-owned site located on the
north side of Gerald Ford Drive between Cook Street and Portola Road (“Site”). While a
two phase development was previously analyzed in October 2022, and approved by the
City in November 2022, the Developer is now proposing a single phased development.
Since October 2022 when the City agreed to sell the Site to the Developer for $3,425,000
and the Authority, acting as the Housing Successor (collectively referred to as
“Authority”), agreed to provide up to $6,755,000 in financial assistance to the Developer,
the Developer was able to obtain a $6,700,000 loan commitment from Riverside County
(“County”) as well as 45 Project Based Vouchers (“PBVs”). However, the Project did not
receive a tax-exempt bonds (“TEB”) allocation from the California Debt Limit Allocation
Committee (“CDLAC”) earlier in 2023.
The following analysis reviews the changes to the proposed Project since October 2022
as well as determines whether the requested financial assistance is warranted.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City and Developer have been working on entitling the Site and negotiating the deal
terms for the Project since 2020. The Project was entitled and approved in November
2022 and the Authority agreed to provide $6,755,000 to the Project to purchase the land
from the City as well as provide construction financing assistance. While the Project
description and financing stack has evolved, the current proposal received by the
Authority details a financial assistance request to secure the Site and assist with the
construction of the Project in one phase as well as change the compensation to the City
for the Site.
The financial request has decreased from $6,755,000, or $28,000 per unit, from the
Authority’s Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund (“LMIHAF”) to $3,330,000 in
exchange for 72 units to be restricted to extremely-low income (“ELI”) households, 121
units restricted to households earning up to 59% of the Riverside County Area Median
Income (“AMI”), and 46 units to be restricted to households earning up to 80% AMI. Two
units will be unrestricted and set-aside for two onsite managers. In order to maximize
the MHP application points the Developer has requested that the City sell the Site for
$3,425,000 and provide a residual receipts land carryback loan instead of receiving
$3,425,000 in upfront proceeds.
The anticipated non-Authority/City funding sources are as follows:

KMA updated the financial gap analysis of the Project and concluded the following:
1. KMA concluded that the development costs, estimated at $644,700 per unit
(including land) by the Developer are reasonable given the prevailing wage
requirements, increasing interest rate environment and current inflationary
market conditions. The $25,406,000 increase, or 20% increase in costs also takes
into account that the Developer did not include all of the costs associated with the
onsite improvement conditions of approval in the October 2022 pro forma.
Assuming the above-mentioned funding sources are provided to the Project, KMA
concludes that Project still has a $6,755,000 financial gap.
2. The $6,755,000 in financial assistance will be provided to the Project as two
separate residual receipts loans, as follows:
a. The City will sell the Site to the Developer and carry back a residual receipts
loan (“City Loan”). The loan will have a 55 years from Certificate of
Occupancy (“COO”) loan term, a 3.0% simple interest rate, annual loan
payments from residual receipts, and will be due and payable at the end
of the term. Therefore, instead of receiving a $3,425,000 cash payment as
agreed to in November 2022, the City will receive payments for the land
over the 55 year loan term from approximately 3.65% of the annual
residual receipts. Based on the KMA cash flow, the City Loan is projected
to not be paid back in full until the end of the loan term, and the present
value of the loan payments is estimated at $735,000, which is an estimated
$2,690,000 decreased in expected proceeds for the Site.
b. The remaining $3,330,000 will be financed from the Authority’s LMIHAF
and also structured as a residual receipts loan (“Authority Loan”). The loan
will have a 55 years from Certificate of Occupancy (“COO”) loan term, a
3.0% simple interest rate, annual loan payments from residual receipts,
and will be due and payable at the end of the term. The Authority is
estimated to receive 3.55% of the residual receipts as annual payments,
however, the Authority Loan is also not anticipated to be paid off until the
end of the loan term. KMA projects that the present value of the loan
payments is $757,000.

c. Both the City Loan and Authority Loan will be subordinated to the tax-
exempt bonds, construction and permanent loans, the MHP Loan and the
County Loan.
3. The proposed use of $3,330,000 LMIHAF for the Project meets the income
targeting requirements on a project basis. However, between now and the end
of the Fiscal Year 2024/25, the Authority needs to commit an additional
$13,000,000 in LMIHAF, with all the units restricted at or below 59% AMI in order
for the Authority to be in compliance with State law by the end of the reporting
period.
4. The affordability restrictions associated with the City Loan and the Authority Loan
that will be placed on the Project in exchange for the financial assistance are in
accordance with H&SC Section 50053:
a. The following are the restrictions that will be placed on the Site by the
Authority and the City, excluding two (2) onsite manager units:
b. The affordability restrictions will remain in place for 55 years from COO.
c. The regulatory agreement will not be subordinated.
d. These restrictions will also meet the Surplus Land Act (“SLA”)
requirements.
5. The City will also be restricting 24 units to very-low income households under the
City’s Density Bonus Ordinance.

According to the approved entitlements, prior to the conveyance of the Site the City will
merge the Parcel and Additional Parcel to create the Site. The Site has a land use
designation of Town Center Neighborhood (“TCN”) in the General Plan and a zoning
designation of Planning Residential (“PR-22”) in Planning Area 8 High Density (10 acres)
and Open Space in Planning Area 9 (0.49 acres) within the Millennium Palm Desert
Specific Plan.
To develop the 241 unit Project, the approved entitlements include the use of the City’s
Density Bonus Ordinance, which also allows for fewer parking spaces to be included in
the Project than required by the City Code. The Density Bonus provision was able to be
used by the Project as at least 20% of the units will be restricted to very-low income
households that earn up to 50% of the Riverside County Area Median Income (“AMI”).

Project History
City Council adopted the 2021-2029 Housing Element for the 6th Cycle, which allocates that the
Site provide a minimum of 240 units for affordable housing.
Planning Commission and City Council approved the proposed entitlements and DDA.
Authority approved providing $6,755,000 to a 241-unit project to be built in two phases.
Developer submitted an application to the Riverside County Housing Authority for 45 PBVs and a
$6,700,000 loan, which was approved.
Developer submitted an application to CDLAC for tax-exempt bonds and did not receive an
allocation.
The City purchased a 35-acre parcel ("City Property") with former Palm Desert Redevelopment
Agency ("Agency") bond proceeds.
City Council adopted Resolution NO. 2021-27 declaring 10-acres of real property located on the
north side of Gerald Ford Drive between Cook Street and Portola Avenue ("Parcel") as exempt
surplus land under Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(A) because the City intended to transfer
the parcel to the Developer for the developmetn of an affordable housing project pursuant to
Government Code Section 37364.
The City issued a notice of availability in accordance with the Surplus Land Act and Developer was
the respondent with the highest number of affordable units proposed and deepest affordability.
Upon request of the Developer to proceed with the development of the Project, City Council
adopted Resolution NO. 2022-24 declaring an additional 0.49-acre portion of the adjoining City
Property ("Additional Parcel") as exempt surplus land and to be added to the Site.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The updated scope of development can be described as follows:
1. The Site is comprised of 456,944 square feet of land area and is zoned Planned
Residential (“P.R.”) with a designated zoning allowance for 20 units per acre, or
210 units. In order to construct the 241 unit Project, the Developer received
approval for entitlements that included a 15% density bonus.
2. The Site is currently vacant with no environmental remediation expected to be
required. However, the Developer is including noise mitigation measures by
providing a solid block masonry fence on the north and south property lines.
Additional noise mitigation features will be transparent panels on the balconies
facing the street. In response to water drainage issues, the Project will include
improvements to the WQMP water retention basins.
3. The Project will include 241 rental housing units, which equates to a density of 23
units per acre, in 14 two- and three-story buildings with the following unit mix:
4. The gross building area (“GBA”) for the Type V buildings is 248,171 square feet,
which equates to a FAR of 0.54, and includes the following:

Summary of Changes to Project Description
The changes to the Project description since October 2022 include developing the Project
in one phase instead of two phases and the inclusion of 24 units that will be targeted as
PSH for victims of domestic violence. In addition, the estimated close of escrow is
estimated to be November 2024 instead of June 2023.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
KMA reviewed the Developer’s updated pro forma submitted on June 13, 2023, to assist
in evaluating the updated Project.
Estimated Development Costs (Table 1)
KMA reviewed the Developer’s development cost estimate and found the estimate to be
reasonable given the current high cost conditions and increasing interest rates. However,
KMA caveats that the City should review the cost estimates prior to land conveyance, and
are described as follows:
LAND ACQUISITION COSTS
The Site is owned by the City and will be sold at the fair market value based on the highest
and best use. In June 2022, CBRE updated an earlier appraisal to include the 0.49-acre
Additional Parcel and arrived at a fair market value of approximately $7.50 per square

foot, or $3,425,000, which equates to $14,200 per unit, and $326,500 per acre. The
appraised value is the agreed upon purchase price between the City and the Developer.
DIRECT COSTS
The direct cost estimates assume that the Project will be subject to both federal Davis
Bacon and State prevailing wage requirements.
1. The Project is required to provide significant offsite improvements, estimated at
$3,784,000.1 It should be noted that the offsite infrastructure budget is
significantly higher than the offsite improvements required for the Vitalia and UHC
projects that have recently been approved by the City. These improvements
include sidewalks from the western property line across over to Dinah Shore and
construction of access road to allow resident and emergency vehicles ingress.
These assumptions should be verified by City Staff.
2. The onsite improvements, including the onsite drainage improvements, as well as
the inclusion of a block wall surrounding the Project for noise abatement, are
estimated at $39 per square foot of land area and $74,300 per unit. This estimate
is higher than typical due to the detailed conditions of approval that were agreed
to by the Developer to receive the entitlements.
3. The Project also includes mandatory solar improvements, which are estimated at
$6,900 per unit plus two swimming pools and shade structures. The total estimate
of these costs is $8,200 per unit.
4. The building shell costs are estimated at approximately $252 per square foot of
residential building area and $519 per square foot for the community building
costs. The community building costs include one manager’s unit and various
amenities.
5. Furnishings, fixtures, and equipment (“FF&E”) for the Project are estimated at
$140,000 for the common areas, or approximately $1,000 per unit. It should be
noted that this estimate also assumes that the 24 PSH units will be furnished.
1 If the Developer receives a refund from the City for a portion of the offsite improvements, the Developer
will be required to reduce the Authority Loan by the same amount.

6. The Developer estimated the contractor fees and general requirements allowance
at approximately 14% of the construction costs, which is the maximum allowed by
TCAC. It should be noted that the general contractor is likely to be Multi-Family
Builders, Inc., which is owned by the President of the Developer. The competitive
price procedures incorporated into the original DDA should remain.
7. The construction insurance is estimated at 1% of the construction costs.
8. The direct cost contingency allowance is estimated at 7% of other direct costs.
This estimate is in between the 5% to 10% typical direct cost contingency
allowance.
The following summarizes the direct cost estimates:
INDIRECT COSTS
The following summarizes the Developer’s indirect cost assumptions:
1. Architecture, engineering, and consulting costs are estimated at 3% of direct costs.
This estimate is within the typical range for similar projects.
2. The Developer estimated the permits and fees at $22,600 per unit. This estimate
should be verified by City Staff. This estimate also includes the estimated
$354,000 in TUMF fees that will be waived by CVAG. Therefore, the net permits
and fees are approximately $21,100 per unit.
3. The taxes, insurance, legal and accounting costs are estimated at 1% of direct
costs. This estimate is considered appropriate for a project of this size.
Direct Costs Cost Estimates Assumptions
Off-site Improvements $3,784,000 $3,784,000 Allowance

4. The Developer estimated an allowance of $125,000 for marketing and leasing
costs, or $500 per unit.
5. The Developer Fee is estimated at $18,908,000, which is the maximum fee allowed
by TCAC for a new construction, TEB project. The Developer Fee is based on
approximately 15% of the eligible basis less the Developer Fee. TCAC also requires
that any amount over $2,500,000 plus $20,000 times the number of units over
100, to be deferred or contributed as equity. The Developer proposes to defer
and contribute approximately 82% of the Developer Fee. Thus, only $3,451,000
of the fee will be paid out during the development period, and an estimated
$4,707,000 of the fee will be paid back out of operating cash flow and the
remaining $10,750,000 will be contributed to the Project with no payment to the
Developer.
6. The contingency allowance for each phase is estimated at $800,000, which is 3%
of the other indirect costs, which is at the low end of the typical range.
The following summarizes the indirect cost estimates:
FINANCING COSTS
The following summarizes the Developer’s financing cost assumptions and are
summarized below:
1. Interest during construction is estimated, based on $77,161,000 in TEBs and
$20,589,000 in taxable bonds, an 8.05% interest rate, a 24-month development
period, and a 72% average outstanding balance. The 8.05% interest rate
projection is high for tax-exempt bonds. However, when combined with a lower
than typical indirect contingency allowance, a rising interest rate environment,

TOTAL DEVELOPMENT COSTS
The total development costs are estimated at $155,370,000, or $644,700 per unit.
Without land, the development costs total $151,945,000, or $630,500 per unit. These
costs are at the high end of the typical range for Type V construction with prevailing wages
but consider the extraordinary off- and on-site improvements that are required. The

The costs have increased by $25,406,000, or 20% since Fall 2022. The following provides
the reasons for the major increases in costs:
1. The Project is now required to also meet the State prevailing wage requirements
as well as the federal requirements.
2. The largest increase is due to a $7,303,000 increase in onsite improvement costs.
The Developer has stated that the 2022 cost estimate did not include all the costs
required by the conditions of approval, including the block wall for noise
abatement and onsite water drainage abatement. In 2022, KMA understood that
these costs were included in the $44,000 per unit estimate.
3. The contractor fees, general requirements, construction insurance and
contingency allowance have increased by $3,993,000 due to the increase in hard
construction costs.
4. While the architecture, engineering, and consulting, permits and fees, taxes,
insurance, legal and accounting, and contingency allowance in the indirect costs
decreased by $2,573,000 due to cost savings by constructing the Project as one
phase, the increase in eligible basis allowed for the Developer Fee to increase by
$8,394,000. Therefore, the indirect costs increased by $5,846,000, or 25% since
October 2022.
5. The financing costs increased by $8,361,000, or 144%, mainly due to the increase
in interest rate projection from 5.27% to 8.05% and increase in bonds/loan sizing.
Stabilized Net Operating Income (Tables 2A and Table 2B)
The Project’s proposed funding sources include TEBs, federal Tax Credits, a County loan,
an MHP loan, a LMIHAF loan from the Authority, and a land carryback loan from the City.
Each of the funding sources have income and rent requirements as well as the Project’s
use of the Density Bonus Ordinance and the SLA requirements. Income limits are
published for households that are qualified to reside in the units that have received
assistance from these sources. The rent standards for the TCAC, CDLAC, MHP and County
funds are typically based on rents published annually by TCAC. The rent standards for the
Authority’s LMIHAF Loan, the City’s Land Loan the Density Bonus Ordinance and SLA
requirements are provided in H&SC Section 50053.

The Developer will be required to adhere to the strictest of the standards imposed by the
funding sources for a period of 55 years. The following summarizes the affordability
restrictions as proposed:2
ACHIEVABLE RENTAL INCOME (TABLE 2A)
As previously mentioned, the Project rents must adhere to the most restrictive of the
requirements imposed by the funding sources and regulatory agreements. The maximum
allowable rents are based on the recently updated 2023 income and rent restrictions for
all funding sources and are the net of the most recent published utility allowances are
estimated as follows:3
Therefore, the maximum rental income that can be generated by the restricted units is
$2,434,464 plus $12 per unit per month for laundry and miscellaneous income.
2 One three-bedroom unit and one two-bedroom unit will be set-aside as onsite manager units and will be
unrestricted units.
3 The rents are net of the current Riverside County Housing Authority monthly utility allowances as
follows: $76/1-bdrm units, $102/2-bdrm units, and $130/3-bdrm units (published July 1, 2022). The
tenant paid utilities will be all electric (cooking, heating, basic and air conditioning).

PROJECT BASED VOUCHERS (TABLE 2B)
The Developer received a 45 PBV allocation from the County in 2022 and will be
requesting an additional 75 PBVs in the next NOFA the County issues. The current Fair
Market Rents (“FMRs”) for Eastern Riverside County are set at $1,537 for one-bedroom
units, $1,926 for two-bedroom units and $2,613 for three-bedroom units. The Project
will enter a 20-year contract to receive the difference between the amount the tenants
pay, up to 30% of their actual household income, and the contract rent. The gross income
generated from the PBVs is estimated at $1,969,656.
ESTIMATED NET OPERATING INCOME (TABLE 2B)
The Project’s effective gross income (“EGI”) is estimated at $4,217,971, which assumes a
5% vacancy and collection allowance, as follows:
The operating expenses are estimated at $1,842,260 based on the following assumptions:
It should be noted that the City has added the $10,000 per year City monitoring fee and
the mandatory MHP loan payment is also a new deduction.

Therefore, the stabilized net operating income (“NOI”) is estimated to total $2,375,711,
as calculated below:
SUMMARY OF CHANGES TO ESTIMATED NOI
The following summarizes the changes in estimated NOI since the October 3, 2022, KMA
analysis:
The NOI has increased by $667,061, or 39% since Fall 2022 for the following reasons:
1. The average affordability decreased from 50% AMI to 45% AMI, which caused a
decrease in the base rental income. The decrease in affordability was slightly
offset by the Developer increasing the TCAC restriction of 72 units from 59% AMI
to 60% AMI.
2. The 2023 rents increased by approximately 5% from 2022.
3. The number of proposed PBVs increased from 60 to 120.
4. The operating expense increased due to the addition of the mandatory MHP loan
payment and the City monitoring fee.
Available Funding Sources (Table 3)
The Developer plans to apply for the competitive HCD funds in the July 2023 Super NOFA
and TEBs in the March 2024 CDLAC round, as well as the County for 75 additional PBVs in
the Fall 2023 round. The following summarizes the potential funding sources based on
the current status of the various funding sources:

TAX EXEMPT BONDS / PERMANENT LOAN
The Developer anticipates structuring the bonds so that approximately $77,161,000 in
TEBs and $20,589,000 in taxable bonds.
Based on the $2,515,654 NOI for the debt service calculation, the Project is estimated to
support a $28,716,000 permanent loan.4 The assumptions used to estimate the loan are
a 1.20 debt coverage ratio for the overall debt service, a 6.25% interest rate, and a 40
year amortization term. The annual debt service payment is estimated at $1,956,435.
Historically, the State of California’s affordable housing TEBs allocation has been
undersubscribed and therefore, if the Project meets various State and IRS requirements,
TEBs were allocated to projects in a timely fashion. Recently, due to the influx of PSH
projects requesting bond allocations, the State’s bond allocation has been
oversubscribed. Thus, obtaining a TEB allocation is now a competitive process.
The Project is eligible to receive full points on the CDLAC application and is expected to
have a competitive CDLAC tie-breaker score in the low 90%s. However, it is unknown at
this time how many applications will be submitted in the first CDLAC round of 2024.
FEDERAL TAX CREDIT EQUITY
Once the Project receives a TEB allocation from CDLAC , the 4% federal Tax Credits are
automatically awarded to the Project. The following summarizes the anticipated Tax
Credit equity to be generated by the Project.
4 For debt service calculation purposes, the MHP payment has been removed from the operating costs, as
the total debt service for the Project is estimated to be restricted to a 1.20 DCR.
Total Federal
Tax Credits
Eligible Basis $144,962,269
QCT/DDA Adjustment 130%
Applicable Fraction 100%
Tax Credit Percentage 4%
Annual Federal Tax Credits $7,538,038

Palm Villas at Millennium – Updated Financial Gap Analysis Page 20
2306004:PD;JLR
17166.015.001
The Developer’s equity rate assumption at $0.85 per federal Tax Credit is at the lower end
of the range typically projected recently.
COUNTY LOAN
In 2022, the County awarded the Project with a $6,700,000 loan from the County, which
needs to be disbursed by June 30, 2024, or the Developer may be required to reapply for
the County Loan.
MHP LOAN
The Developer plans to apply for a $33,320,000 Multifamily Housing Program (“MHP”)
loan in the HCD July 2023 Super NOFA. It is unknown at this time how competitive the
Project will be. However, the Project should receive full points.
WAIVED TUMF FEES
The Developer will apply for the waiver of $354,000 in TUMF fees from Coachella Valley
Association of Governments (“CVAG”)
DEFERRED / CONTRIBUTED DEVELOPER FEE
While the Developer fee will be set at $18,908,000 for Tax Credit purposes, the Developer
plans to receive $3,451,000 in cash during the development period, receive $4,707,000
as a deferred Developer fee paid out of cash flow before residual receipts, and contribute
approximately 57%, or $10,750,000 of the Developer fee back to the Project as equity.
TOTAL AVAILABLE OUTSIDE FUNDING SOURCES
Therefore, the following sources have been identified as potential funding sources for the
Project:

SUMMARY OF CHANGES TO AVAILABLE OUTSIDE FUNDING SOURCES
The following summarizes the changes in potential outside funding sources since the
October 3, 2022, KMA analysis:
The potential funding sources increased by $25,405,000, or approximately 21% since Fall
2022 for the following reasons:
1. Due to the small pool of State Tax Credits that could be available to the Project,
the Developer has decided to apply for a MHP loan instead of State Tax Credits.
2. The 2023 rents increased by approximately 5% from 2022, which in turn, increased
the supportable permanent debt.
3. The Developer has agreed to contribute $10,750,000 of the $18,907,000 of the
Developer Fee, or 57% of the total Developer Fee.
4. These increases in funding sources were also offset by a decrease in the estimated
TUMF fee waiver and that the Developer will not be applying to the County for

additional County Loan proceeds as it would have if the Project were two separate
phases.
Estimated Financial Gap Calculation (Table 3)
When the estimated development costs are compared to the potential funding sources
from lenders, the State, and County, the Project has a financial gap that needs to be filled
for the Project to be feasible. The following provides the financial gap calculation:
Therefore, KMA concludes that the $6,755,000 that is being requested by the Developer
for the one phase Project is warranted and remains the same as the request approved by
the City in November 2022. However, the Developer is now requesting $3,330,000 in
financial assistance be provided by the Authority as a residual receipts loan, and a
$3,345,000 land carryback loan from the City be provided to acquire the Site. This change
is driven by a requirement in the MHP application to receive full points.
SB 341 Income Targeting Test
Section 34176.1 of the California Health and Safety Code has restricted how the LMIHAF
monies are to be allocated to extremely-low and low income households over a five year
period.
Section 34176.1(a)(3)(B) requires that the City allocate at least 30% of the LMIHAF
expended for development of rental housing affordable to and occupied by households
earning 30% or less of AMI (“Extremely-Low Income”) and Section 34176.1(a)(3)(C)
requires that no more than 20% of the LMIHAF expended for development of rental
housing affordable to and occupied by households earning between 60% and 80% of AMI
(“Low Income”).
The following summarizes the breakout of the proposed LMIHAF loan by affordability
restriction:

These income tests are applied over five year periods with the second period being Fiscal
Year 2020/21 to 2024/25. It should be noted that the requirements do not need to be
met on a project-by-project basis. Also, according to the City’s staff, the Authority is in
compliance with both the ELI and LI tests for the previous five-year period. The following
summarizes the current status of the income targeting tests once the Project assistance
is added:
Therefore, when the Authority commitments of $6,755,000 is decreased to $3,330,000,
the Authority will exceed the maximum 60% to 80% AMI targeting test.
Based on the analysis above, at least an additional $13,000,000 in LMIHAF needs to be
committed by the Authority by the end of Fiscal 2024/25 and none for the assistance can
be attributed to Low Income units for the Authority to finish the five-year term in
compliance with the SB 341 income targeting requirements. Therefore, at least $650,000
of the $13,000,000 needs to be attributed to households earning up to 30% and the
remaining $12,350,000 can be attributed to households earning up to 59% AMI.

1. The Project will be constructed as one phase instead of two. Therefore, all
mention of two phases will be removed from the documents.
2. The date that the Project needs to have all funding sources committed will change
to December 31, 2024. At this time, the City Manager will have the ability to
terminate the DDA or extend the date.
3. There will be one Authority Loan in the amount of $3,330,000 instead of
$6,755,000, which will be subordinated to the MHP and County Loans as well as
the TEBs, construction and permanent loans.
4. There will be one City Loan that will carry back the purchase price of $3,425,000
instead of providing the City with $3,425,000 in cash proceeds. The City Loan will
be subordinated to the MHP and County Loans as well as the TEBs, construction
and permanent loans.
5. The City has added a $10,000 per year monitoring fee that will increase at 3.0%
per year.
6. The residual receipts calculation will only deduct priority deferred Developer fee
payments from revenues during the first 15 years of operations.
7. There will be a City and Authority regulatory agreements, which will also meet the
SLA requirements, with the following affordability restrictions:

KMA assumed a discount rate of 6.00% for the present value calculation.
CONCLUSIONS
Based on the KMA analysis of the Developer’s proposal, the $6,755,000 proposed
financial assistance that was approved in 2022 for the two phased project, is still required
for the single phased Project to be feasible. However, KMA recommends that the City
review the estimated costs again once the funding sources have been committed.

(Palm Villas at Millennium)
This AMENDED AND RESTATED DISPOSITION, DEVELOPMENT AND LOAN
AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is dated as of June 22, 2023, and is entered into by and among
the CITY OF PALM DESERT, a municipal corporation (the "City"), the PALM DESERT
HOUSING AUTHORITY, a public body corporate and politic (the "Authority") and PALM
COMPANIES LLC, a California limited liability company (the "Developer"), each individually
a "Party" and collectively the "Parties," with reference to the following facts, understandings and
intentions of the Parties:
RECITALS
A. Defined terms used but not defined in these recitals are as defined in Article 1 of
this Agreement.
B. The City owns the land in the City of Palm Desert described in Exhibit A (the
“Property”).
C. The Property has been declared exempt surplus land by the City Council of the
City under Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(A) and has concluded based on the
Developer's site plan and proposed affordability that proposed Development meets the
affordability and design requirements of Government Code Section 37364. The California
Department of Housing and Community Development has confirmed such exemption in writing.
D. The City and the Developer entered into a Disposition, Development and Loan
Agreement dated November 23, 2022 (“First DDA”) for the sale to Developer (or an affiliate of
Developer) and development of the Property in two phases.
E. In order to facilitate obtaining necessary financing for the development of the
Property, Developer, City and Authority desire to amend and restate the First DDA to eliminate
the phasing of the sale and development of the Property; amend the amount and terms of the
Authority loan described in the First DDA; include a new City loan, and extend the deadline for
closing the transaction.
F. The Developer intends to construct in at least two hundred forty-one (241) units
of housing, two hundred thirty nine (239) of which shall be made available to and occupied by
low-income households, very low-income households, and extremely low-income households,
and two (2) of which shall be on-site manager’s units. The Development will be composed of
one, two and three bedroom units.
G. The City intends to sell the Property to the Developer for Three Million Four
Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($3,425,000.00). In payment for the Property, the
Developer will execute a promissory note in favor of the City in the amount of Three Million
Four Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($3,425,000.00), which promissory note will be
secured by a deed of trust recorded as a lien against the Property.
Item 2D-56
-7-
P6401-0001\2822145v2.doc
H. To help finance the costs of the development, the Authority intends to make a
construction loan to the Developer in the amount of Three Million Three Hundred Thirty
Thousand Dollars ($3,330,000.00) from its Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
I. The Authority is willing to enter into an agreement with the primary construction
lender which provides for the Authority’s loan to be disbursed to such primary lender upon the
closing, and held for disbursement by such primary construction lender to the Developer for the
payment of the initial construction costs of the Development, provided that the agreement
provides that the Authority loan funds will be disbursed pari-passu with the primary construction
lender's loan, and that the construction lender shall not have a security interest in such deposited
loan funds. The disbursement agreement must be acceptable to the Authority in its reasonable
discretion.
J. Concurrently with the sale of the Property, the City intends to grant
access/maintenance easements over property owned by the City that is adjacent to the Property
(“Parcel 9”) to the Developer to allow the Developer to install road improvements and to clear
any accumulated sand against the boundary wall between said Parcel 9 and the Property (the
"Maintenance Easement").
K. The City has determined that the Developer has the necessary expertise, skill and
ability to carry out the commitments set forth in this Agreement and that this Agreement is in the
best interests of, and will materially contribute to the implementation of, the City's affordable
housing goals through the development of the Property.
L. Developer intends to create a tax credit limited partnership, with Developer or an
affiliate controlled by Developer, as the administrative general partner, to take title to the
Property. As used herein, the term “Developer” includes such limited partnership where the
context requires.
M. Developer has applied for and received a density bonus (including reduced
parking and increased density) for the development.
In consideration of the foregoing, and the mutual terms and conditions herein, the Parties
agree as follows:

release of the Released Parties. The Developer specifically waives the provision of any statute or
principle of law that provides otherwise. In this connection and to the extent permitted by law,
the Developer agrees, represents and warrants that the Developer realizes and acknowledges that
factual matters now unknown to the Developer may have given or may hereafter give rise to
causes of action, claims, demands, debts, controversies, damages, costs, losses and expenses
which are presently unknown, unanticipated and unsuspected, and the Developer further agrees,
represents and warrants that the waivers and releases herein have been negotiated and agreed
upon in light of that realization and that the Developer nevertheless hereby intends to release,
discharge and acquit the Released Parties from any such unknown causes of action, claims,
demands, debts, controversies, damages, costs, losses and expenses. Accordingly, the Developer,
on behalf of itself and anyone claiming by, through or under the Developer, hereby assumes the
above-mentioned risks and hereby expressly waives any right the Developer and anyone
claiming by, through or under the Developer, may have under Section 1542 of the California
Civil Code, which reads as follows:
"A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor or
released party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor
at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her
must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor
or released party."

written notice of its address for notice by the Developer. Each such holder (insofar as the rights
of the Authority are concerned) has the right, but not the obligation, at its option, within ninety
(90) days after the delivery of the notice, to cure or remedy or commence to cure or remedy any
such default or breach affecting the Property which is subject to the lien of the Security
Financing Interest held by such holder and to add the cost thereof to the security interest debt and
the lien on its security interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement is deemed to permit or
authorize such holder to undertake or continue the construction or completion of the
Development (beyond the extent necessary to conserve or protect such Development or
construction already made) without first having expressly assumed in writing the Developer's
obligations to the City relating to such Development under this Agreement under an assignment
and assumption agreement prepared by the City and recordable among the Official Records (the
"Security Financing Interest Assignment"). The holder in that event must agree to complete, in
the manner provided in this Agreement (or as may be amended by the Security Financing
Interest Assignment; provided, however, the City is under no obligation to extend the dates for
performance set forth in this Agreement), the Development to which the lien or title of such
holder relates. Any such holder properly completing such Development under this paragraph
must assume all rights and obligations of Developer under this Agreement and will be entitled,
upon completion and written request made to the City, to a Certificate of Completion from the
City.
Section 9.4 Failure of Holder to Complete Development. In any case where six (6)
months after default by the Developer in completion of construction of the Development under
this Agreement, the holder of record of any Security Financing Interest, having first exercised its
option to construct under the Security Financing Interest Assignment, has not proceeded
diligently with construction (as reasonably determined by the Authority), the Authority must be
afforded those rights against such holder it would otherwise have against Developer under this
Agreement.
Item 2D-86

P6401-0001\2822145v2.doc
Section 9.5 Right of Cure. In the event of a default or breach of a Security Financing
Interest prior to the completion of the Development, and the holder has not exercised its option
to complete the Development on the Property, the Authority may cure the default, prior to the
completion of any foreclosure. In such event the Authority as applicable will be entitled to
reimbursement from the Developer of all costs and expenses incurred bin curing the default. The
Developer’s obligation to reimburse for costs and disbursements shall be included in the
obligations secured by the Deed of Trust. The Authority agrees that such lien will be
subordinate to any Security Financing Interest, and the Authority will execute from time to time
any and all documentation reasonably requested by Developer to effect such subordination.
Section 9.6 Right to Satisfy Other Liens. After a reasonable time to challenge, cure or
satisfy any liens or encumbrances on the Property or any portion thereof, the Authority will have
the right to satisfy any such lien or encumbrances; provided, however, that nothing in this
Agreement will require the Developer to pay or make provision for the payment of any tax,
assessment, lien or charge so long as the Developer in good faith may contest the validity or
amount therein and so long as such delay in payment is not subject the Property or any portion
thereof to forfeiture or sale.
Section 9.7 Holder to be Notified. The Developer will insert each term contained in
this Article 9 into each Security Financing Interest or will procure acknowledgement of such
terms by each prospective holder of a Security Financing Interest prior to its coming into any
security right or interest in the Property or portion thereof.
ARTICLE 10.

Apartment Community, except as required under this Agreement . The Owner shall not convert
any Affordable Unit(s) to condominiums or cooperative ownership or sell condominium or
cooperative conversion rights to any Affordable Unit(s) during the term of this Agreement.

2.3 Very Low Income Households.
2.3.1 Income Qualification; Initial Certification. Subject to the applicable provisions
hereof, throughout the Required Covenant Period, the Affordable Units restricted by this
Agreement will be exclusively occupied by, or available for occupancy only by Very Low
Income Households on a continuous basis. Prior to the rental or lease of an Affordable Unit and
in accordance with Section 2.6 hereof, the Owner will obtain and maintain on file a Household
Income Certification (“Income Certification”) substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit “B” and incorporated herein by this reference for each Very Low Income Household,
and shall provide copies of same to the City at such times as the City may, from time to time,
reasonably require. In addition, the Owner will provide such further information as may
reasonably be required in the future by the City. The Income Certification shall be dated
immediately prior to the applicable household’s initial occupancy of an Affordable Unit. The
Owner shall make a good faith effort to verify that the income provided by an applicant in an
Income Certification is accurate by taking any one or more of the following steps as part of the
verification process for all household members over the age of eighteen (18) as appropriate:
(i) Obtain two (2) pay stubs for the two (2) most recent pay periods;
(ii) Obtain a true copy of an income tax return for the most recent tax year in
which a return was filed;
(iii) Obtain an income verification form from the household member’s current
employer;
(iv) Obtain an income verification form from the Social Security
Administration and/or the State Department of Social Services, or its equivalent, if the household
member receives assistance from either of those agencies;
(v) If the household member is unemployed and has no tax return, obtain
another form of independent verification; or
(vi) Obtain such other documentation as may be reasonably acceptable
pursuant to Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations, as amended from time to time, to
verify income.
2.3.2 Certificate of Continuing Program Compliance; Annual Report. Throughout the
Required Covenant Period, the Owner will prepare and submit to the City, at such periodic
frequency as the City might reasonably require, but not more than once annually, a Certificate of
Continuing Compliance in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit “C” and
incorporated herein by this reference, and executed by the Owner. The Owner will also prepare
and submit to the City on or before each anniversary date of the commencement of the Required
Covenant Period, and for the preceding calendar year, a report in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the City summarizing the vacancy rate of the Apartment Community, including
the number of Affordable Units held vacant for occupancy by Very Low Income Households for
such calendar year.
Item 2D-126
-9-
12812-0001\2714320v4.doc
2.4 Affordable Rent. Throughout the Required Covenant Period, an Affordable Rent shall be
charged to the Very Low Income Household occupants of Affordable Units, as more specifically
described above.
2.5 Rent Increases. Rents for Affordable Units may be increased not more than once per year
and twelve (12) months must have elapsed since the date of the tenant’s initial occupancy or the
last rent increase. The rents charged following such an increase, or upon a vacancy and new
occupancy by a Very Low Income Household shall not exceed an Affordable Rent. The Owner
shall, consistent with applicable law, give proper written notice to tenants of all rent increases,
and upon written request, provide the City with reasonable detail concerning the amount of and
rationale for such rent increases.
2.6 Income Recertification of Affordable Units. Annually, on the anniversary date of
occupancy of an Affordable Unit by a Very Income Household, the Owner shall obtain and
maintain on file an annual income certification, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the City, from each household occupying an Affordable Unit, based upon the current income of
each household member over the age of eighteen (18). The Owner shall make a good faith effort
to verify that the income provided by the household is accurate in accordance with Section 2.3.1,
above.
2.6.1 A rental unit occupied by a household that qualifies as a Very Low Income
Household at the time the household first occupies an Affordable Unit shall be deemed to
continue to be so occupied until a recertification of such household’s income demonstrates that
such household no longer qualifies as a Very Low Income Household. At such time as a
household ceases to qualify as a Very Low Income Household based on income recertification,
the Owner shall designate the next available unit (one that is not occupied by a tenant) with the
same number of bedrooms as the occupied Affordable Unit and it shall be leased to a Very Low
Income Household, so that the number of Affordable Units occupied by or reserved for
occupancy by Very Low Income Households will remain constant. For purposes of this
Agreement, such designated unit will be considered an Affordable Unit if it is held vacant and
available solely for occupancy by a Very Low Income Household and, upon occupancy, the
income eligibility of the household as a Very Low Income Household is verified and the unit is
rented at Affordable Rent.
2.7 Lease or Occupancy Agreement. Prior to the rental or lease of an Affordable Unit to a
Very Low Income Household, the Owner shall require the tenant to execute a written lease or
occupancy agreement. The Owner shall maintain on file throughout the Required Covenant
Period and for a four (4) year period thereafter, the executed lease or occupancy agreement of
each tenant occupying an Affordable Unit. The form of lease or occupancy agreement used by
the Owner for the lease or rental of Affordable Units shall be that which is reasonable and
customary in residential leasing. In addition, each lease or occupancy agreement for an
Affordable Unit shall (i) provide that the tenants of such Affordable Unit shall be subject to
annual recertification of income and subject to rental increases in accordance with Sections 2.5
and 2.6 of this Agreement, and (ii) contain a provision to the effect that the Owner has relied on
the income certification and supporting information supplied by the tenant in determining
qualification for occupancy of the Affordable Unit, and that any material misstatement in such
Item 2D-127
-10-
12812-0001\2714320v4.doc
certification (whether or not intentional) may be cause for immediate termination of such lease or
occupancy agreement.
2.7.1 The Owner shall refrain from restricting the rental or lease of Affordable Units on
the basis of race, color, religion, sex, marital status, disability, ancestry or national origin of any
person.
2.7.2 The covenants established herein shall, without regard to technical classification
and designation, be binding for the benefit and in favor of the City, and its successors and
assigns, and shall burden and run with the Property.
2.7.3 The City is deemed to be the beneficiary of the terms and provisions of the
covenants herein, both for and in its own right and for the purposes of protecting the interests of
the community and other parties, public or private, for whose benefit these covenants running
with the land have been provided.
2.8 Security Deposits. The Owner may require security deposits on Affordable Units in
amounts which are consistent with applicable law.
2.9 Additional Information; Books and Records. The Owner shall provide any additional
information concerning the Affordable Units reasonably requested by the City. The Owner will
maintain complete and accurate records pertaining to the Affordable Units throughout the
Covenant Period and for a four (4) year period thereafter. The City shall have the right upon
written notice of no less than two (2) business days to the Owner, at any time during normal
business hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, to examine of all books, records or other documents
maintained by the Owner or by any of the Owner’s agents which pertain to any Affordable Unit,
including all executed leases or occupancy agreements and all Income Certifications, and obtain
copies of any requested executed leases, occupancy agreements and Income Certifications
within ten (10) business days following such examination and the City’s written request.
2.10 Specific Performance. The Owner hereby agrees that specific enforcement of the
Owner’s agreement to comply with the allowable rent and occupancy restrictions and covenants
contained herein is one of the reasons and consideration for the City having granted a density
bonus and that, in the event of the Owner’s breach of such requirements, potential monetary
damages to the City, as well as to existing and prospective Very Low Income Households, would
be difficult, if not impossible, to evaluate and quantify. Therefore, in addition to any other relief
to which the City may be entitled as a consequence of the breach hereof, the Owner agrees to the
imposition of the remedy of specific performance against it in the case of any event of default by
the Owner in complying with any provision of this Agreement beyond any applicable notice and
cure period.
2.11 Audit. The City shall have the right to perform an audit of the Apartment Community to
determine compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. Such audit shall not be undertaken
more often than once each calendar year. All costs and expenses associated with the audit shall
be paid by the Owner.
2.12 Management. The Owner and/or the management agent (if not the Owner) shall operate
the Apartment Community in a manner that will provide decent, safe and sanitary residential
Item 2D-128
-11-
12812-0001\2714320v4.doc
facilities to the occupants thereof, and will comply with provisions of this Agreement. Upon the
written request of the City, the Owner shall cooperate with the City in the periodic review (but
not more than once each calendar year) of the management practices and financial status of the
Affordable Units. The purpose of each periodic review will be to enable the City to determine if
the Affordable Units are being operated and managed in accordance with the requirements and
standards of this Agreement. Results of such City review shall be provided to the Owner, and
the City shall have the authority to require the Owner to make modifications that are reasonably
necessary to ensure the objectives of this Agreement are met.
2.13 Binding for Term. It is intended by the Parties that except as may be otherwise expressly
provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply to the Apartment Community
throughout the entire term hereof, as established in Section 3.1 below.
ARTICLE 3. TERM AND RECORDATION.
3.1 Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for the
Required Covenant Period, unless the Owner and the City agree, in writing, to terminate this
Agreement prior to the expiration of the Required Covenant Period. Unless terminated earlier
pursuant to the prior sentence of this Section 3.1, or Section 3.3 below, the Parties intend that the
provisions and effect of this Agreement and specifically of Article 2 hereof, shall remain in full
force and effect for the entire Required Covenant Period.
3.2 Agreement to Record. The Owner represents, warrants, and covenants that this
Agreement will be recorded in the real property records of Riverside County.
3.3 Suspension of Restrictions. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing provisions of
this Article 3 or any other provisions hereof, this Agreement and all of the terms and restrictions
contained herein shall be suspended for any period of involuntary noncompliance as a result of
unforeseen events such as fire or act of God which leaves the entire Apartment Community
uninhabitable (and the proceeds of insurance available to the Owner as a result thereof are
insufficient to reconstruct the Apartment Community), or a change in a federal or state law or an
action by the federal government, the State or a court of competent jurisdiction, after the date of
recordation hereof, that prevents the City from enforcing the provisions of this Agreement, or a
condemnation or a similar event.
ARTICLE 4. DEFAULT; REMEDIES.
4.1 An Event of Default. Each of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” by the
Owner under this Agreement:
4.1.1 Failure by the Owner to duly perform, comply with and observe any of the
conditions, terms, or covenants of any agreement with the City concerning the Apartment
Community, or of this Agreement, if such failure remains uncured thirty (30) days after written
notice of such failure from the City to the Owner in the manner provided herein or, with respect
to a default that cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, if the Owner fails to commence such
cure within such thirty (30) day period or thereafter fails to diligently and continuously proceed
with such cure to completion. However, if a different period or notice requirement is specified
under any other section of this Agreement, then the specific provision shall control.
Item 2D-129
-12-
12812-0001\2714320v4.doc
4.1.2 Any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or in any application,
financial statement, certificate, or report submitted by the Owner to the City proves to have been
incorrect in any material respect when made.
4.1.3 A court having jurisdiction shall have made or rendered a decree or order:
(i) adjudging the Owner to be bankrupt or insolvent; (ii) approving as properly filed a petition
seeking reorganization of the Owner or seeking any arrangement on behalf of the Owner under
the bankruptcy laws or any other applicable debtor’s relief law or statute of the United States or
of any state or other jurisdiction; (iii) appointing a receiver, trustee, liquidator, or assignee of the
Owner in bankruptcy or insolvency or for any of its properties; or (iv) directing the winding up
or liquidation of the Owner, providing, however, that any such decree or order described in any
of the foregoing subsections shall have continued unstayed or undischarged for a period of ninety
(90) days.
4.1.4 The Owner shall have assigned its assets for the benefit of its creditors or suffered
a sequestration or attachment or execution on any substantial part of its property, unless the
property so assigned, sequestered, attached, or executed upon shall have been returned or
released within ninety (90) days after such event (unless a lesser time period is permitted for cure
hereunder) or prior to sale pursuant to such sequestration, attachment, or execution. If the Owner
is diligently working to obtain a return or release of the property and the City’s interests
hereunder are not imminently threatened in its reasonable business judgment, then the City shall
not declare a default under this subsection.
4.1.5 The Owner shall have voluntarily suspended its business or dissolved.
4.1.6 The seizure or appropriation of all or, in the reasonable opinion of the City, a
substantial part of the Apartment Community, except for condemnation initiated by the City or
any governmental agency or authority.
4.1.7 There should occur any default declared by any lender under any loan document
or deed of trust relating to any loan made in connection with the Apartment Community, which
loan is secured by a deed of trust or other instrument affecting the Apartment Community, and
such default remains uncured following the expiration of any applicable cure period.
4.2 City’s Option to Lease. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED}
4.3 City Remedies. The City shall have the right to mandamus or other suit, action or
proceeding at law or in equity to require the Owner to perform its obligations and covenants
under this Agreement or to enjoin acts or things which may be unlawful or in violation of the
provisions hereof, provided that in any such case the City has first provided the required notice
of any alleged default and the Owner has had the requisite opportunity to cure pursuant to
Section 4.1.1, above.
4.4 Action at Law; No Remedy Exclusive. The City may take whatever action at law or in
equity as may be necessary to enforce performance and observance of any obligation, agreement
or covenant of the Owner under this Agreement. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved
by the City is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and
every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given
Item 2D-130
-13-
12812-0001\2714320v4.doc
under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute. No delay or
omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or
power or shall be construed to be a waiver of such right or power, but any such right or power
may be exercised from time to time and as often as the City may deem expedient. In order to
entitle the City to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Agreement, it shall not be necessary
to give any notice, other than such notice as may be herein otherwise expressly required or
required by law to be given.
ARTICLE 5. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
5.1 Limitations on Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, except in the event of fraud, waste, or illegal acts, or with regard to any indemnity
obligations imposed upon the Owner under the terms of this Agreement, (i) no partner, member,
officer or director, as applicable, of the Owner (each, an “Owner Affiliate”) shall have any
direct, indirect or derivative personal liability for the obligations of the Owner under this
Agreement, and (ii) the City shall not exercise any rights or institute any action against any
Owner Affiliate directly, indirectly or derivatively for the payment of any sum of money that is
or may become payable hereunder.
5.2 Maintenance, Repair, Alterations. The Owner shall maintain and preserve the Apartment
Community in good condition and repair in accordance with the Ground Lease, and shall
otherwise comply with the Ground Lease and all laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, covenants,
conditions, restrictions, and orders of any governmental authority now or hereafter affecting the
conduct or operation of the Apartment Community or any part thereof or requiring any alteration
or improvement to be made thereon. The Owner shall not commit, suffer, or permit any act to be
done in, upon, or to the Apartment Community or any part thereof in violation of any such laws,
ordinances, rules, regulations, or orders. The Owner hereby agrees that the City may conduct
from time to time through representatives, upon reasonable notice of no less than twenty-four
(24) hours, on-site inspections and observation of: (i) the maintenance and repair of the
Apartment Community, including a review of all maintenance and repair programs and practices
and all reports and records pertaining thereto, including records of expenditures relating thereto;
and (ii) such other facilities, practices, and records of the Owner relating to the Affordable Units
as the City reasonably deems to be necessary or appropriate in order to monitor the Owner’s
compliance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(other than telephone communications) required or permitted hereunder shall be sufficiently
given and should be deemed given when sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, or twenty-four

5.4 Relationship of Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted or
understood by any of the Parties, or by any third persons, as creating the relationship of employer
and employee, principal and agent, limited or general partnership, or joint venture between the
City and the Owner or the Owner’s agents, employees or contractors, and the Owner shall at all
times be deemed an independent contractor and shall be wholly responsible for the manner in
which it or its agents, or both, perform the services required of it by the terms of this Agreement
for the operation of the Apartment Community. The Owner has and hereby retains the right to
exercise full control of employment, direction, compensation and discharge of all persons
assisting in the performance of services hereunder. In regards to the on-site operation of the
Apartment Community, the Owner shall be solely responsible for all matters relating to payment
of its employees, including compliance with Social Security, withholding and all other laws and
regulations governing such matters. The Owner agrees to be solely responsible for its own acts
and those of its agents and employees.
5.5 No Claims. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create or justify any claim against
the City by any person the Owner may have employed or with whom the Owner may have
contracted relative to the purchase of materials, supplies or equipment, or the furnishing or the
performance of any work or services with respect to the operation of the Affordable Units.
5.6 Conflict of Interests. No member, official or employee of the City shall make any
decision relating to this Agreement which affects his or her personal interests or the interests of
any corporation, partnership or association in which he or she is directly or indirectly interested.
No officer or employee of the Owner shall acquire any interest in conflict with or inimical to the
interests of the City.
5.7 Non-Liability of City Officials, Employees and Agents. No member, official, employee
or agent of the City shall be personally liable to the Owner, or any successor in interest, in the
event of any default or breach by the City or for any amount which may become due to the
Owner or successor in connection with this Agreement or on any obligation of the City under the
terms of this Agreement.
5.8 Unavoidable Delay; Extension of Time of Performance. In addition to specific
provisions of this Agreement, performance by either Party hereunder that relates to a
construction obligation shall not be deemed to be in default where it is due to an “Unavoidable
Delay.” “Unavoidable Delay” means a delay due to the elements (including unseasonable
weather), fire, earthquakes or other acts of God, strikes, pandemics, labor disputes, lockouts,
shortages of construction materials experienced generally in the construction industry in the local
Item 2D-132
-15-
12812-0001\2714320v4.doc
area, acts of the public enemy, riots, insurrections or governmental regulation of the sale or
transportation of materials, supply or labor; provided, however, that to the extent a delay is
caused by any other reason that the Owner reasonably believes is beyond its control, the Owner
may request, on a case-by-case basis, that the City excuse any such delay as an Unavoidable
Delay and the City shall make its determination as to whether such delay constitutes an
Unavoidable Delay using its reasonable judgment.
5.9 Indemnity. The Owner shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City and all
officials, employees and agents of City (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the City) against
any costs, liabilities, damages or judgments arising from claims or litigation of any nature
whatsoever brought by third parties and directly or indirectly arising from the Owner’s
ownership or operation of the Apartment Community, or the Owner’s performance of its
obligations under this Agreement, and in the event of settlement, compromise or judgment hold
the City free and harmless therefrom. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnity provisions
contained in this Section 5.9 shall not apply with respect to any costs, liabilities, damages or
judgments arising directly or indirectly from the City’s rental of units within the Apartment
Community as described in Section 4.2 hereof. The provisions of this Section 5.9 shall survive
the term of this Agreement.
5.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise expressly stated in this
Agreement, the rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative, and the exercise or failure to
exercise one or more of such rights or remedies by either Party shall not preclude the exercise by
it, at the same time or different times, of any right or remedy for the same default or any other
default by the other Party. No waiver of any default or breach by the Owner hereunder shall be
implied from any omission by the City to take action on account of such default if such default
persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect any default other than the default
specified in the waiver, and such wavier shall be operative only for the time and to the extent
therein stated. Waivers of any covenant, term, or condition contained herein shall not be
construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same covenant, term or condition. The
consent or approval by the City to or of any act by the Owner requiring further consent or
approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the consent or approval to or of any
subsequent similar act. The exercise of any right, power, or remedy shall in no event constitute a
cure or a waiver of any default under this Agreement, nor shall it invalidate any act done
pursuant to notice of default, or prejudice the City in the exercise of any right, power, or remedy
hereunder or under any agreements ancillary or related hereto.
5.11 Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted under and pursuant to the laws of
the State of California.
5.12 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement is held in a
final disposition by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the
remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect unless the rights and obligations of
the Parties have been materially altered or abridged by such invalidation, voiding or
unenforceability.
5.13 Legal Actions. In the event any legal action is commenced to interpret or to enforce the
terms of this Agreement or to collect damages as a result of any breach thereof, the Party
Item 2D-133
-16-
12812-0001\2714320v4.doc
prevailing in any such action shall be entitled to recover against the Party not prevailing all
reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in such action (including all legal fees incurred in
any appeal or in any action to enforce any resulting judgment), as awarded by a court of
competent jurisdiction.
5.14 Binding Upon Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the permitted heirs, administrators, executors, successors in interest and assigns of each of the
Parties. Any reference in this Agreement to a specifically named Party shall be deemed to apply
to any successor, heir, administrator, executor or assign of such Party who has acquired an
interest in compliance with the terms hereof or under law.
5.15 Time of the Essence. In all matters under this Agreement, time is of the essence.
5.16 Approvals by the City. Any approvals required under this Agreement shall be made by
the City Manager or his or her designee, and shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned,
delayed or made, except where it is specifically provided herein that another standard applies, in
which case the specified standard shall apply.
5.17 Complete Understanding of the Parties. This Agreement and the attached Exhibits
constitute the entire understanding and agreement of the Parties with respect to the matters
described herein.
5.18 Covenants to Run With the Land. The Owner hereby subjects the Apartment Community
to the covenants, reservations, and restrictions set forth in this Agreement. The City and the
Owner hereby declare their express intent that the covenants, reservations, and restrictions set
forth herein shall be deemed covenants running with the land and shall pass to and be binding
upon the Owner’s successors in title to the Apartment Community; provided, however, that on
the termination of this Agreement said covenants, reservations and restrictions shall expire.
Each and every contract, deed or other instrument hereafter executed covering or conveying the
Apartment Community or any portion thereof shall conclusively be held to have been executed,
delivered and accepted subject to such covenants, reservations and restrictions, regardless of
whether such covenants, reservations and restrictions are set forth in such contract, deed or other
instruments. No breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall defeat or render invalid
the lien of a mortgage or deed of trust made in good faith and for value encumbering the
Property or any interest of the Owner therein.
5.19 Burden and Benefit. The City and the Owner hereby declare their understanding and
intent that: (i) the burden of the covenants, reservations, restrictions, and agreements set forth
herein touch and concern the Property and the Apartment Community, in that Owner’s legal
interest in the Apartment Community is rendered less valuable thereby, (ii) the covenants,
reservations, restrictions, and agreements set forth herein directly benefit the Property and the
Apartment Community (a) by enhancing and increasing the enjoyment and use of the Apartment
Community by certain Very Low Income Households, the intended beneficiaries of such
covenants, reservations, restrictions, and agreements, (b) by making possible the obtaining of
advantageous financing for the Property and the Apartment Community, and (c) by furthering
the public purposes advanced by the City, and (iii) the covenants, reservations, restrictions and
agreements set forth herein shall run with the Property and shall be binding for the benefit of and
enforceable by the City and its successors and assigns for the entire Term of this Agreement.

5.20 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.
5.21 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended only by the written agreement of the
City and the Owner.
WHEREFORE, the undersigned has executed this Agreement as of the date first-above

(8) That by accepting payment of any sum secured hereby after its due date, Beneficiary does

written request of Beneficiary, and without affecting the personal liability of any person for
payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, Trustee may: reconvey any part of the Property;
consent to the making of any map or plat thereof; join in granting any easement thereon; or join
in any extension agreement or any agreement subordinating the lien or charge hereof.
(10) That upon written request of Beneficiary stating that all sums secured hereby have been
paid or forgiven by Beneficiary, and upon surrender of the Note to Trustee for cancellation and
retention and upon payment of its fees, Trustee shall reconvey, without warranty, the Property

Beneficiary, at any time, to give receipts, releases and satisfactions and to sue, either in the name
of Trustor or in the name of Beneficiary, for all income, and apply the same to the indebtedness
secured hereby; provided, however, so long as no default by Trustor in the payment of any
indebtedness secured hereby shall exist and be continuing beyond any applicable cure period

name sue for or otherwise collect such rents, issues and profits, including those past due and
unpaid, and apply the same, less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including
reasonable attorney’s fees, upon any indebtedness secured hereby, and in such order as
Beneficiary may determine. The entering upon and taking possession of the Property, the
collection of such rents, issues and profits and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure
or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such
notice.
(12) That upon a default by Trustor under the DDLA, the Note or the Housing Agreement
(after any cure period expressly granted therein have elapsed), Beneficiary may declare all sums
secured hereby immediately due and payable by delivery to Trustee of written declaration of
default and demand for sale and of written notice of default and election to cause to be sold the
Property, which notice Trustee shall cause to be filed for record. Beneficiary also shall deposit
with Trustee this Deed of Trust, the Note and all documents evidencing expenditures secured
hereby. After the lapse of such time as may then be required by law following the recordation of
the notice of default, and notice of sale having been given as then required by law, Trustee,
without demand on Trustor, shall sell the Property at the time and place fixed by it in the notice
of sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels, and in such order as it may determine, at public
auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States, payable at time of
sale. Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of the Property by public announcement at
such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public
announcement at the time fixed by the preceding postponement. Trustee shall deliver to such
purchaser its deed conveying the Property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express
or implied. The recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the
truthfulness thereof. Any person, including Trustor, Trustee, or Beneficiary as hereinafter
defined, may purchase at the sale.
After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee and of this Trust, including cost of
evidence of title in connection with sale, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment of:
all sums expended under the terms hereof, not then repaid, with accrued interest at the amount
allowed by law in effect at the date hereof; all other sums then secured hereby; and the
remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.
(13) Beneficiary, or any successor in ownership of any indebtedness secured hereby, may
from time to time, by instrument in writing, substitute a successor or successors to any Trustee
named herein or acting hereunder, which instrument, executed by the Beneficiary and duly
acknowledged and recorded in the office of the recorder of the county or counties where the
Property is situated, shall be conclusive proof of proper substitution of such successor Trustee or
Trustees, who shall, without conveyance from the Trustee predecessor, succeed to all its title
estate, rights, powers and duties. The instrument must contain the name of the original Trustor,
Trustee and Beneficiary hereunder, the book and page where this Deed of Trust is recorded and
the name and address of the new Trustee.

their heirs, legatees, devisees, administrators, executors, successors and assigns. The term
Beneficiary shall mean the owner and holder, including pledgees, of the Note, whether or not
named as Beneficiary herein. In this Deed of Trust, whenever the context so requires, the
masculine gender includes the feminine and/or neuter, and the singular number includes the
plural.
(16) If Trustor shall assign or encumber the Property in violation of the DDLA and without
the written consent of the City and Authority, or a change of control of Trustor that is not
permitted by the DDLA occurs and is not approved in writing by the City and Authority, then
Beneficiary shall have the right, at its option, to declare any indebtedness or obligations secured
hereby, irrespective of the maturity date specified in any note evidencing the same, immediately
due and payable.
(17) That Trustor shall promptly pay when due the payments of interest, principal, and all
other charges accruing under any superior or prior or junior or subordinate trust deed, mortgage,
or other instrument encumbering the Property. Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to cure any defaults on any such deed of trust or instrument or promissory note
secured thereby and upon curing such default Trustor shall immediately reimburse Beneficiary
for all costs and expenses incurred thereby, together with interest thereon at the maximum legal
rate permitted to be charged by non-exempt lenders under the State of California, and Trustor’s
failure to pay such amount on demand shall be a breach hereof. Trustor’s breach or default of
any covenant or condition of any superior or prior trust deed, mortgage or other instrument
encumbering the Property shall be a default under this Deed of Trust, whereupon Beneficiary
shall have the right to declare all sums under the Note secured hereby immediately due and
payable as provided in the Note.
(18) The undersigned Trustor requests that a copy of any Notice of Default and of any Notice
of Sale hereunder (and any other notices hereunder) be mailed to it at its address for notices in
the DDLA.

(5) To pay immediately and without demand all sums so expended by Beneficiary hereunder,
or under the Maintenance Agreement, in accordance with the terms thereof.
(6) The Trustor further covenants that it will not voluntarily create, suffer, or permit to be

(7) That any award of damages in connection with any condemnation for public use of or

above provided for disposition of proceeds of fire or other insurance.
(8) That by accepting payment of any sum secured hereby after its due date, Beneficiary does
not waive its right either to require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to
declare default for failure so to pay.
(9) That at any time or from time to time, without liability therefor and without notice, upon
written request of Beneficiary, and without affecting the personal liability of any person for
payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, Trustee may: reconvey any part of the Property;

in any extension agreement or any agreement subordinating the lien or charge hereof.
(10) That upon written request of Beneficiary stating that all sums secured hereby have been
paid or forgiven by Beneficiary, and upon surrender of the Note to Trustee for cancellation and
retention and upon payment of its fees, Trustee shall reconvey, without warranty, the Property
then held hereunder. The recitals in such reconveyance of any matters or facts shall be
conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. The grantee in such reconveyance may be described
as “the person or persons legally entitled thereto.”
(11) That Trustor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Beneficiary
all the rents, income and profits of the Property encumbered hereby, and hereby give to and
confer upon Beneficiary the right, power and authority to collect such rent, income, and profits,
and Trustor irrevocably appoints Beneficiary Trustor’s true and lawful attorney at the option of
Beneficiary, at any time, to give receipts, releases and satisfactions and to sue, either in the name
of Trustor or in the name of Beneficiary, for all income, and apply the same to the indebtedness
secured hereby; provided, however, so long as no default by Trustor in the payment of any
indebtedness secured hereby shall exist and be continuing beyond any applicable cure period
expressly provided therein, then, Trustor shall have the right to collect all rent, income and
profits from the Property and to retain, use and enjoy the same. Upon any such default,
Item 2D-165
F-86-
P6401-0001\2822145v2.doc
Beneficiary may at any time without notice, either in person, by agent, or by a receiver to be
appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the indebtedness
hereby secured, enter upon and take possession of the Property or any part thereof, in its own
name sue for or otherwise collect such rents, issues and profits, including those past due and
unpaid, and apply the same, less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including
reasonable attorney’s fees, upon any indebtedness secured hereby, and in such order as
Beneficiary may determine. The entering upon and taking possession of the Property, the
collection of such rents, issues and profits and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure
or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such
notice.
(12) That upon a default by Trustor under the DDLA or the Note (after any cure period
expressly granted therein have elapsed), Beneficiary may declare all sums secured hereby
immediately due and payable by delivery to Trustee of written declaration of default and demand
for sale and of written notice of default and election to cause to be sold the Property, which
notice Trustee shall cause to be filed for record. Beneficiary also shall deposit with Trustee this
Deed of Trust, the Note and all documents evidencing expenditures secured hereby. After the
lapse of such time as may then be required by law following the recordation of the notice of
default, and notice of sale having been given as then required by law, Trustee, without demand
on Trustor, shall sell the Property at the time and place fixed by it in the notice of sale, either as a
whole or in separate parcels, and in such order as it may determine, at public auction to the
highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States, payable at time of sale. Trustee
may postpone sale of all or any portion of the Property by public announcement at such time and
place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement
at the time fixed by the preceding postponement. Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser its deed
conveying the Property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The
recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof.
Any person, including Trustor, Trustee, or Beneficiary as hereinafter defined, may purchase at
the sale.
After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee and of this Trust, including cost of
evidence of title in connection with sale, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment of:
all sums expended under the terms hereof, not then repaid, with accrued interest at the amount
allowed by law in effect at the date hereof; all other sums then secured hereby; and the
remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.
(13) Beneficiary, or any successor in ownership of any indebtedness secured hereby, may
from time to time, by instrument in writing, substitute a successor or successors to any Trustee
named herein or acting hereunder, which instrument, executed by the Beneficiary and duly
acknowledged and recorded in the office of the recorder of the county or counties where the
Property is situated, shall be conclusive proof of proper substitution of such successor Trustee or
Trustees, who shall, without conveyance from the Trustee predecessor, succeed to all its title
estate, rights, powers and duties. The instrument must contain the name of the original Trustor,
Trustee and Beneficiary hereunder, the book and page where this Deed of Trust is recorded and
the name and address of the new Trustee.
Item 2D-166

(14) That this Deed of Trust applies to, inures to the benefit of, and binds all parties hereto,
their heirs, legatees, devisees, administrators, executors, successors and assigns. The term
Beneficiary shall mean the owner and holder, including pledgees, of the Note, whether or not
named as Beneficiary herein. In this Deed of Trust, whenever the context so requires, the
masculine gender includes the feminine and/or neuter, and the singular number includes the
plural.
(16) If Trustor shall assign or encumber the Property in violation of the DDLA and without
the written consent of the City and Authority, or a change of control of Trustor that is not
permitted by the DDLA occurs and is not approved in writing by the City and Authority, then
Beneficiary shall have the right, at its option, to declare any indebtedness or obligations secured
hereby, irrespective of the maturity date specified in any note evidencing the same, immediately
due and payable.
(17) That Trustor shall promptly pay when due the payments of interest, principal, and all
other charges accruing under any superior or prior or junior or subordinate trust deed, mortgage,
or other instrument encumbering the Property. Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to cure any defaults on any such deed of trust or instrument or promissory note
secured thereby and upon curing such default Trustor shall immediately reimburse Beneficiary
for all costs and expenses incurred thereby, together with interest thereon at the maximum legal
rate permitted to be charged by non-exempt lenders under the State of California, and Trustor’s
failure to pay such amount on demand shall be a breach hereof. Trustor’s breach or default of
any covenant or condition of any superior or prior trust deed, mortgage or other instrument
encumbering the Property shall be a default under this Deed of Trust, whereupon Beneficiary
shall have the right to declare all sums under the Note secured hereby immediately due and
payable as provided in the Note.
(18) The undersigned Trustor requests that a copy of any Notice of Default and of any Notice
of Sale hereunder (and any other notices hereunder) be mailed to it at its address for notices in
the DDLA.
(19) Trustor shall not commit waste with respect to the Property.
(20) Any notices, requests or approvals given under this Deed of Trust from one party to
another must be in writing and may be personally delivered; or deposited with the United States
Postal Service, postage prepaid, for delivery by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested; or sent by next business day delivery service such as FedEx, to the following address:

Loan Documents are entering into, a Regulatory Agreement (the “TCAC Regulatory

Note and the Authority is obligated to make disbursements of loan proceeds for some of the costs
of construction of the Development on the Property, subject to and in accordance with the
DDLA.
D. The Authority loan was made with moneys in the Low and Moderate Income
Housing Asset Fund established and held by the Authority as successor to the housing assets of
the former Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency, and California law and the DDLA require that
the Authority obtain recorded restrictions on the Property and Development thereon restricting
the apartment units on the Property to extremely low and low income households at an
affordable rent.
E. The City has required that it have the same restrictions on the Property in
consideration of the City Loan; however, the City is willing to have the Authority administer and
monitor such restrictions.
F. Additionally, the Owner has applied for and obtained a density bonus from the
City for the Development which permits greater density and less parking than would otherwise
be required, and in exchange, the City also requires that the apartment units be so restricted, and
that such restrictions not be subordinate or subordinated to any deeds of trust or other consensual
Item 2D-183
-6-
12812-0001\2722196v4.doc
liens. Such restrictions are contained in a separate Housing Agreement between the City and the
Owner.
G. This Agreement is the restriction agreement described in Recitals C and D, above.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and undertakings set
forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged, the Authority, the City and the Owner hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 2. ONGOING APARTMENT COMMUNITY OBLIGATIONS.
2.1 Apartment Community and Affordable Units.
The Owner shall develop and construct the Apartment Community within a portion of the
Project on the Property in conformity with the DDLA. Thereafter, during the Required Covenant
Period, the Owner agrees that not less than 239 units in the Apartment Community shall be
Affordable Units, meaning that (a) 72 of such units shall be continually available to and occupied
by, or held vacant for occupancy only by, Extremely Low Income Households, (b) 121 of such

rental units in the Apartment Community which are available to other tenants. The Owner
agrees that, to the extent commercially reasonable, Affordable Units will not be underutilized.
No persons shall be permitted to occupy any Affordable Unit in excess of applicable limit of
maximum occupancy set by the City’s Municipal Code and the laws of the State of California, or
by Authority Resolution HA-84 adopted on December 14, 2017 (and the occupancy policy
attached as Exhibit A thereto) and any amendments or replacements thereof.
2.2 Residential Rental Property.
The Owner covenants to operate the Apartment Community as residential rental property.
During the Required Covenant Period, the Affordable Units will be held and used for the purpose
of providing residential living, and the Owner shall own, manage and operate, or cause the
management and operation of, the Apartment Community to provide such affordable rental
housing. All of the rental units in the Apartment Community with the exception of two (2)
manager’s units, will be available for rental on a continuous basis to members of the general
public and the Owner will not give preference to any particular class or group in renting the units
in the Apartment Community, except as required under this Agreement. The Owner shall not
convert any Affordable Unit(s) to condominiums or cooperative ownership or sell condominium
or cooperative conversion rights to any Affordable Unit(s) during the term of this Agreement.
2.3 Extremely Low, 59% AMI Low and 80% AMI Low Income Households.
2.3.1 Income Qualification; Initial Certification. Subject to the applicable provisions
hereof, throughout the Required Covenant Period, Affordable Units will be exclusively occupied
Item 2D-186
-9-
12812-0001\2722196v4.doc
by, or available for occupancy only by, Extremely Low, 59% AMI Low and 80% AMI Low
Income Households as described above. Prior to the rental or lease of an Affordable Unit and in
accordance with Section 2.6 hereof, the Owner will obtain and maintain on file a Household
Income Certification (“Income Certification”) substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit “B” and incorporated herein by this reference for each Extremely Low, 59% AMI Low
and 80% AMI Low Income Households, as applicable, and shall provide copies of same to the
Authority at such times as the Authority may, from time to time, reasonably require. In addition,
the Owner will provide such further information as may reasonably be required in the future by
the Authority. The Income Certification shall be dated immediately prior to the applicable
household’s initial occupancy of an Affordable Unit. The Owner shall make a good faith effort
to verify that the income provided by an applicant in an Income Certification is accurate by
taking any one or more of the following steps as part of the verification process for all household
members over the age of eighteen (18) as appropriate:
(i) Obtain two (2) pay stubs for the two (2) most recent pay periods;
(ii) Obtain a true copy of an income tax return for the most recent tax year in
which a return was filed;
(iii) Obtain an income verification form from the household member’s current
employer;
(iv) Obtain an income verification form from the Social Security
Administration and/or the State Department of Social Services, or its equivalent, if the household
member receives assistance from either of those agencies;
(v) If the household member is unemployed and has no tax return, obtain
another form of independent verification; or
(vi) Obtain such other documentation as may be reasonably acceptable
pursuant to Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations, as amended from time to time, to
verify income.
2.3.2 Certificate of Continuing Program Compliance; Annual Report; Annual
Monitoring/Administration Fee. Throughout the Required Covenant Period, the Owner will
prepare and submit to the Authority, at such periodic frequency as the Authority might
reasonably require, but not more than once annually, a Certificate of Continuing Compliance in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit “C” and incorporated herein by this reference,
and executed by the Owner. The Owner will also prepare and submit to the Authority on or
before each anniversary date of the commencement of the Required Covenant Period, and for the
preceding calendar year, a report in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Authority
summarizing the vacancy rate of the Apartment Community, including the number of Affordable
Units held vacant for occupancy by Extremely Low, 59% AMI Low and 80% AMI Low Income
Households for such calendar year. Owner shall pay an annual monitoring/administration fee in
the amount of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00), increasing by three percent (3%) annually,
concurrently with Developer’s annual payments of Residual Receipts to Authority under the
Authority Loan.
Item 2D-187
-10-
12812-0001\2722196v4.doc
2.4 Affordable Rent. Throughout the Required Covenant Period, an Affordable Rent shall be
charged to the Extremely Low, 59% AMI Low and 80% Low Income Household occupants of
Affordable Units, as more specifically described above.
2.5 Rent Increases. Rents for Affordable Units may be increased not more than once per year
and twelve (12) months must have elapsed since the date of the tenant’s initial occupancy or the
last rent increase. The rents charged following such an increase, or upon a vacancy and new
occupancy by an Extremely Low, 59% AMI Low or 80% AMI Low Income Household, as
applicable, shall not exceed an Affordable Rent. The Owner shall, consistent with applicable
law, give proper written notice to tenants of all rent increases, and upon written request, provide
the Authority with reasonable detail concerning the amount of and rationale for such rent
increases.
2.6 Income Recertification of Affordable Units. Annually, on the anniversary date of
occupancy of an Affordable Unit by an Extremely Low, 59% AMI Low or 80% AMI Low
Income Household, as applicable, the Owner shall obtain and maintain on file an annual income
certification, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Authority, from each
household occupying an Affordable Unit, based upon the current income of each household
member over the age of eighteen (18). The Owner shall make a good faith effort to verify that
the income provided by the household is accurate in accordance with Section 2.3.1, above.
2.6.1 A rental unit occupied by a household that qualifies as an Extremely Low, 59%
AMI Low or 80% AMI Low Income Household, as applicable, at the time the household first
occupies an Affordable Unit shall be deemed to continue to be so occupied until a recertification
of such household’s income demonstrates that such household no longer qualifies as an
Extremely Low, 59% AMI Low or 80% AMI Low Income Household, as applicable. At such
time as a household ceases to qualify as an Extremely Low, 59% AMI Low or 80% AMI Low
Income Household, as applicable, based on income recertification, the Owner shall designate the
next available unit (one that is not occupied by a tenant) with the same number of bedrooms as
the occupied Affordable Unit and it shall be leased to an Extremely Low, 59% AMI Low or
80% AMI Low Income Household, as applicable, so that the number of Affordable Units
occupied by or reserved for occupancy by Extremely Low, 59% AMI Low or 80% Low Income
Households will remain constant. For purposes of this Agreement, such designated unit will be
considered an Affordable Unit if it is held vacant and available solely for occupancy by an
Extremely Low, 59% AMI Low or 80% AMI Low Income Household, as applicable, and, upon
occupancy, the income eligibility of the household as an Extremely Low, 59% AMI Low or 80%
AMI Low Income Household is verified and the unit is rented at Affordable Rent.
2.7 Lease or Occupancy Agreement. Prior to the rental or lease of an Affordable Unit to an
Extremely Low, 59% AMI Low or 80% AMI Low Income Household, the Owner shall require
the tenant to execute a written lease or occupancy agreement. The Owner shall maintain on file
throughout the Required Covenant Period and for a four (4) year period thereafter, the executed
lease or occupancy agreement of each tenant occupying an Affordable Unit. The form of lease
or occupancy agreement used by the Owner for the lease or rental of Affordable Units shall be
that which is reasonable and customary in residential leasing. In addition, each lease or
occupancy agreement for an Affordable Unit shall (i) provide that the tenants of such Affordable
Unit shall be subject to annual recertification of income and subject to rental increases in
Item 2D-188
-11-
12812-0001\2722196v4.doc
accordance with Sections 2.5 and 2.6 of this Agreement, and (ii) contain a provision to the effect
that the Owner has relied on the income certification and supporting information supplied by the
tenant in determining qualification for occupancy of the Affordable Unit, and that any material
misstatement in such certification (whether or not intentional) may be cause for immediate
termination of such lease or occupancy agreement.
2.7.1 No Discrimination. Owner covenants, by and for itself and any successors in
interest, that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any person or group of
persons on account of any basis listed in subdivision (a) or (d) of Section 12955 of the

and paragraph (1) of subdivision (p) of Section 12955, and Section 12955.2 of the Government
Code, in the leasing, subleasing, transferring, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the land
herein leased, nor shall the lessee, himself or herself or any person claiming under or through

2.7.3 The Owner shall refrain from restricting the rental or lease of Affordable Units on
the basis of race, color, religion, sex, marital status, disability, ancestry or national origin of any
person.

Item 2D-190
-13-
12812-0001\2722196v4.doc
documents maintained by the Owner or by any of the Owner’s agents which pertain to any
Affordable Unit, including all executed leases or occupancy agreements and all Income
Certifications, and obtain copies of any requested executed leases, occupancy agreements and
Income Certifications within ten (10) business days following such examination and the
Authority’s written request.
2.10 Specific Performance. The Owner hereby agrees that specific enforcement of the
Owner’s agreement to comply with the allowable rent and occupancy restrictions and covenants
contained herein is one of the reasons and consideration for the Authority having entered into the
DDLA, and that, in the event of the Owner’s breach of such requirements, potential monetary
damages to the Authority and City, as well as to existing and prospective Extremely Low, 59%
AMI Low or 80% AMI Low Income Households, would be difficult, if not impossible, to
evaluate and quantify. Therefore, in addition to any other relief to which the Authority or City
may be entitled as a consequence of the breach hereof, the Owner agrees to the imposition of the
remedy of specific performance against it in the case of any event of default by the Owner in
complying with any provision of this Agreement beyond any applicable notice and cure period.
2.11 Audit. The Authority shall have the right to perform an audit of the Apartment
Community to determine compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. Such audit shall not
be undertaken more often than once each calendar year. All costs and expenses associated with
the audit shall be paid by the Owner.
2.12 Management. The management agent of the Owner and any other contractor of Owner
who provides services to occupants of the Apartment Community shall be subject to the
reasonable written approval of the Authority. The Owner and/or the management agent (if not
the Owner) shall operate the Apartment Community in a manner that will provide decent, safe
and sanitary residential facilities to the occupants thereof, and will comply with provisions of
this Agreement. Upon the written request of the Authority, the Owner shall cooperate with the
Authority in the periodic review (but not more than once each calendar year) of the management
practices and financial status of the Affordable Units. The purpose of each periodic review will
be to enable the Authority to determine if the Affordable Units are being operated and managed
in accordance with the requirements and standards of this Agreement. Results of such Authority
review shall be provided to the City and to the Owner, and the Authority shall have the right to
require the Owner to make modifications that are reasonably necessary to ensure the objectives
of this Agreement are met.
2.13 Binding for Term. It is intended by the Parties that except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply to the Apartment Community
throughout the entire term hereof, as established in Section 3.1 below.
ARTICLE 3. TERM AND RECORDATION.
3.1 Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for the
Required Covenant Period, unless the Owner and the Authority agree, in writing, to terminate
this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Required Covenant Period. Unless terminated
earlier pursuant to the prior sentence of this Section 3.1, or Section 3.3 below, the Parties intend
that the provisions and effect of this Agreement and specifically of Article 2 hereof, shall remain
in full force and effect for the entire Required Covenant Period.

12812-0001\2722196v4.doc
3.2 Agreement to Record. The Owner represents, warrants, and covenants that this
Agreement will be recorded in the real property records of Riverside County.
3.3 Early Termination of Restrictions. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing
provisions of this Article 3 or any other provisions hereof, this Agreement and all of the terms
and restrictions contained herein shall be suspended during involuntary noncompliance as a
result of unforeseen events such as fire or act of God which leaves the entire Apartment
Community uninhabitable (and the proceeds of insurance available to the Owner as a result
thereof are insufficient to reconstruct the Apartment Community), or a change in a federal or
state law or an action by the federal government, the State or a court of competent jurisdiction,
after the date of recordation hereof, that prevents the Authority from enforcing the provisions of
this Agreement, or a condemnation or a similar event.
ARTICLE 4. DEFAULT; REMEDIES.
4.1 An Event of Default. Each of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” by the
Owner under this Agreement:
4.1.1 Failure by the Owner to duly perform, comply with and observe any of the
conditions, terms, or covenants of any agreement with the Authority or the City concerning the
Apartment Community, or of this Agreement, if such failure remains uncured thirty (30) days
after written notice of such failure from the Authority to the Owner in the manner provided
herein or, with respect to a default that cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, if the Owner fails
to commence such cure within such thirty (30) day period or thereafter fails to diligently and
continuously proceed with such cure to completion. However, if a different period or notice
requirement is specified under any other section of this Agreement, then the specific provision
shall control.
4.1.2 Any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or in any application,
financial statement, certificate, or report submitted by the Owner to the Authority or the City
proves to have been incorrect in any material respect when made.
4.1.3 A court having jurisdiction shall have made or rendered a decree or order:
(i) adjudging the Owner to be bankrupt or insolvent; (ii) approving as properly filed a petition
seeking reorganization of the Owner or seeking any arrangement on behalf of the Owner under
the bankruptcy laws or any other applicable debtor’s relief law or statute of the United States or
of any state or other jurisdiction; (iii) appointing a receiver, trustee, liquidator, or assignee of the
Owner in bankruptcy or insolvency or for any of its properties; or (iv) directing the winding up
or liquidation of the Owner, providing, however, that any such decree or order described in any
of the foregoing subsections shall have continued unstayed or undischarged for a period of ninety
(90) days.
4.1.4 The Owner shall have assigned its assets for the benefit of its creditors or suffered
a sequestration or attachment or execution on any substantial part of its property, unless the
property so assigned, sequestered, attached, or executed upon shall have been returned or
released within ninety (90) days after such event (unless a lesser time period is permitted for cure
hereunder) or prior to sale pursuant to such sequestration, attachment, or execution. If the Owner
is diligently working to obtain a return or release of the property and the City’s and the
Item 2D-192
-15-
12812-0001\2722196v4.doc
Authority’s interests hereunder are not imminently threatened in its reasonable business
judgment, then the City shall not declare a default under this subsection.
4.1.5 The Owner shall have voluntarily suspended its business or dissolved.
4.1.6 The seizure or appropriation of all or, in the reasonable opinion of the Authority, a
substantial part of the Apartment Community, except for condemnation initiated by the City, the
Authority or any other governmental agency or authority.
4.1.7 There should occur any default declared by any lender under any loan document
or deed of trust relating to any loan made in connection with the Apartment Community, which
loan is secured by a deed of trust or other instrument affecting the Apartment Community, and
such default remains uncured following the expiration of any applicable cure period.
4.2 Option to Lease. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]
4.3 Authority Remedies. The Authority and City shall each have the right to mandamus or
other suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity to require the Owner to perform its obligations
and covenants under this Agreement or to enjoin acts or things which may be unlawful or in
violation of the provisions hereof, provided that in any such case the Authority has first provided
the required notice of any alleged default and the Owner has had the requisite opportunity to cure
pursuant to Section 4.1.1, above.
4.4 Action at Law; No Remedy Exclusive. The Authority and/or the City may take whatever
action at law or in equity as may be necessary to enforce performance and observance of any
obligation, agreement or covenant of the Owner under this Agreement. No remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved by the Authority or City is intended to be exclusive of any other
available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be
in addition to every other remedy given under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at
law, in equity or by statute. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon
any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of such right

Attn: President 5.4 Relationship of Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted or
understood by any of the Parties, or by any third persons, as creating the relationship of employer
and employee, principal and agent, limited or general partnership, or joint venture between the
City and the Owner or the Owner’s agents, employees or contractors, or the Authority and the
Owner or the Owner’s agents, employees or contractors, and the Owner shall at all times be
deemed an independent contractor and shall be wholly responsible for the manner in which it or
its agents, or both, perform the services required of it by the terms of this Agreement for the
operation of the Apartment Community. The Owner has and hereby retains the right to exercise
full control of employment, direction, compensation and discharge of all persons assisting in the
performance of services hereunder. In regards to the on-site operation of the Apartment
Community, the Owner shall be solely responsible for all matters relating to payment of its
employees, including compliance with Social Security, withholding and all other laws and
Item 2D-194

12812-0001\2722196v4.doc
regulations governing such matters. The Owner agrees to be solely responsible for its own acts
and those of its agents and employees.
5.5 No Claims. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create or justify any claim against
the City or the Authority by any person the Owner may have employed or with whom the Owner
may have contracted relative to the purchase of materials, supplies or equipment, or the
furnishing or the performance of any work or services with respect to the operation of the
Affordable Units.
5.6 Conflict of Interests. No member, official or employee of the Authority or City shall
make any decision relating to this Agreement which affects his or her personal interests or the
interests of any corporation, partnership or association in which he or she is directly or indirectly
interested. No officer or employee of the Owner shall acquire any interest in conflict with or
inimical to the interests of the City or the Authority.
5.7 Non-Liability of City Officials, Employees and Agents. No member, official, employee
or agent of the City or the Authority shall be personally liable to the Owner, or any successor in
interest, in the event of any default or breach by the City or the Authority or for any amount

obligation of the City or the Authority under the terms of this Agreement.
5.8 Unavoidable Delay; Extension of Time of Performance. In addition to specific
provisions of this Agreement, and except for performance under the DDLA (which is governed
by the terms of the DDLA), performance of a construction obligation by any Party hereunder
shall not be deemed to be in default where it is due to an “Unavoidable Delay.” “Unavoidable
Delay” means a delay due to the elements (including unseasonable weather), fire, earthquakes or
other acts of God, strikes, pandemics, labor disputes, lockouts, shortages of construction
materials experienced generally in the construction industry in the local area, acts of the public
enemy, riots, insurrections or governmental regulation of the sale or transportation of materials,
supply or labor; provided, however, that to the extent a delay is caused by any other reason that
the Owner reasonably believes is beyond its control, the Owner may request, on a case-by-case
basis, that the City and/or Authority excuse any such delay as an Unavoidable Delay and the City
and Authority shall make their determinations as to whether such delay constitutes an
Unavoidable Delay using their reasonable judgment.
5.9 Indemnity. The Owner shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Authority and the
City and all officials, employees and agents of the Authority and/or the City (with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Authority) against any costs, liabilities, damages or judgments
arising from claims or litigation of any nature whatsoever brought by third parties and directly or
indirectly arising from the Owner’s ownership or operation of the Apartment Community, or the
Owner’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement, and in the event of settlement,
compromise or judgment hold the City and the Authority free and harmless therefrom. The
provisions of this Section 5.9 shall survive the term of this Agreement.
5.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise expressly stated in this
Agreement, the rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative, and the exercise or failure to
exercise one or more of such rights or remedies by either Party shall not preclude the exercise by
it, at the same time or different times, of any right or remedy for the same default or any other
Item 2D-195
-18-
12812-0001\2722196v4.doc
default by the other Party. No waiver of any default or breach by the Owner hereunder shall be
implied from any omission by the Authority or the City to take action on account of such default
if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect any default other than
the default specified in the waiver, and such wavier shall be operative only for the time and to
the extent therein stated. Waivers of any covenant, term, or condition contained herein shall not
be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same covenant, term or condition. The
consent or approval by the City or the Authority to or of any act by the Owner requiring further
consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the consent or approval
to or of any subsequent similar act. The exercise of any right, power, or remedy shall in no event
constitute a cure or a waiver of any default under this Agreement, nor shall it invalidate any act
done pursuant to notice of default, or prejudice the Authority in the exercise of any right, power,
or remedy hereunder or under any agreements ancillary or related hereto.
5.11 Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted under and pursuant to the laws of
the State of California.
5.12 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement is held in a
final disposition by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the
remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect unless the rights and obligations of
the Parties have been materially altered or abridged by such invalidation, voiding or
unenforceability.
5.13 Legal Actions. In the event any legal action is commenced to interpret or to enforce the
terms of this Agreement or to collect damages as a result of any breach thereof, the Party
prevailing in any such action shall be entitled to recover against the Party not prevailing all
reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in such action (including all legal fees incurred in
any appeal or in any action to enforce any resulting judgment), as awarded by a court of
competent jurisdiction.
5.14 Binding Upon Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the permitted heirs, administrators, executors, successors in interest and assigns of each of the
Parties. Any reference in this Agreement to a specifically named Party shall be deemed to apply
to any successor, heir, administrator, executor or assign of such Party who has acquired an
interest in compliance with the terms hereof or under law.

render invalid the lien of a mortgage or deed of trust made in good faith and for value
encumbering the Property or any interest of the Owner therein.
