Mayor Quintanilla closed the public hearing, there being no other member of the

Responding to question, City Clerk Mejia stated that Map 102c was requested by
a resident after the deadline, and it was not within staff's prerogative to bring the
map forward without City Council direction.
City Clerk Mejia displayed a map of school district boundaries, and NDC
demographer indicated that the homes north of Frank Sinatra Drive are part of
Palm Springs Unified School District and represent 4,000 people.
Councilmember Kelly noted previous City Council actions to expand the northern
area of Palm Desert with universities, housing development, infrastructure and
regional parks, and encouraged residents to review the City's General Plan
demonstrating its commitment to develop the area for the enjoyment and benefit
of its residents. She reaffirmed her support for Map 109, and noted that factors
such as the Mid-Valley Channel, future rail infrastructure, balancing future
population growth between two districts, and unique attributes of Portola Country
Club and Palm Desert Greens demonstrate the need for certain neighborhoods
to be placed in the same district.

Councilmember Trubee expressed his agreement with Councilmember Kelly, and
shared his perspective that there is an opportunity for North Palm Desert to be
represented by multiple Councilmembers should Map 109 be adopted.
Councilmember Nestande noted she previously met with Palm Springs school
board representatives to discuss annexing the land in Palm Desert to Desert
Sands Unified School District, and was informed that there were no plans to do
so, nor plans to build a school to serve that area in the next ten years.
Mayor Pro Tem Harnik expressed her agreement with comments made by
Councilmember Kelly, and also encouraged residents to review the General Plan
update which was prepared with the input of residents rather than
Councilmembers. She thanked residents for their participation in workshops and
community meetings. She shared her opinion that Map 109 provides the best
opportunity for voices to be heard and decisions to be made.
Mayor Quintanilla noted she heard from many residents regarding map
preferences, and noted that living in one part of Palm Desert is different than
living in and experiencing another part of Palm Desert. She shared that many
housing projects that are in various stages of completion are accessible,
workforce and affordable housing and that there is no guaranteed future
completion date or time. She expressed concern about diluting the purpose and
voice of a protected class and community of interest. She noted that the current
City Council is committing itself to an idea that the housing projects in progress
will come to fruition in a timely fashion. She opined that the City Council would be
ignoring the voice of its current residents in favor of future residents.
Councilmember Kelly noted the staff report shows approximately two-thirds of
approved housing developments are under construction, and those being
completed are being occupied are a mixture of single-family homes at different
price points, and multi-family housing.
Motion by: Councilmember Kelly
Seconded by: Mayor Pro Tem Harnik
1. Conduct a public hearing to receive public input on district boundaries and
sequencing of elections.
2. Receive and file a report on the redistricting process and permissible
criteria to be considered to redraw district boundaries.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 11, 2024
PREPARED BY: Sarah Sullivan, Accountant
REQUEST: ADOPT RESOLUTION FOR RECOGNIZED OBLIGATION PAYMENT
SCHEDULE AND ADMINISTRATIVE BUDGETS FOR THE FISCAL
PERIOD FROM JULY 1, 2024 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2025, PURSUANT TO
HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE SECTION 34177 AND TAKING CERTAIN
RELATED ACTIONS
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt resolution for Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule and Administrative Budgets for
the fiscal period from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, and taking certain related actions.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
Approval of these items is required pursuant to dissolution law in order to fund the approved
enforceable obligations of the Successor Agency to the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency in
the 2024/25 fiscal year.
Health and Safety Code (“HSC”) Section 34177 requires that the Successor Agency prepare a
Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (“ROPS”) annually, listing the anticipated payments
for enforceable obligations to be made from July 1 through the following June 30. The Successor
Agency must also prepare a proposed administrative budget for each six-month period, that
includes: (1) estimated amounts for Successor Agency administrative costs for the applicable
six-month fiscal period; (2) proposed sources of payment for the administrative costs; and (3)
proposals for arrangements for administrative and operations services provided by the City of
Palm Desert (the “City”) or another entity.
All ROPS and Administrative Budgets must be approved by the Riverside County Countywide
Oversight Board and submitted to the DOF for review. During their review, the DOF may
eliminate or modify any item on the ROPS before approving the ROPS. The process timeline,
pursuant to HSC Section 34177, is as follows:
January 11, 2024 ROPS/Admin Submitted to SARDA for approval
January 18, 2024 ROPS/Admin Submitted to County OSB for approval
February 1, 2024 ROPS/Admin due to DOF and CAC for approval
April 15, 2024 Deadline for DOF to provide approval

The County Auditor-Controller is required to make RPTTF disbursements to the Successor
Agency pursuant to the DOF-approved ROPS for fiscal year 2024/25 on June 1, 2024 and
January 2, 2025.
Staff recommends that the Board of Directors of the Successor Agency adopt the resolution
approving the ROPS and Administrative Budgets for fiscal year 202 4/25 and taking certain
related actions.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s office.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The preparation and submittal of ROPS and Administrative Budgets for fiscal year 202 4/25 are
necessary to allow the Successor Agency to pay its enforceable obligations for the period from
July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025.
The “administrative cost allowance” is the amount of administrative costs that may be paid by
the Successor Agency from moneys received from the RPTTF. Subject to the Dissolution Act,
the permitted administrative cost allowance is the greater of: (i) $250,000 per fiscal year, or (ii)
up to 3 percent of the prior year RPTTF distribution less administrative cost allowance and
repayments of city loans; provided it does not exceed 50% of the prior year RPTTF distribution.

CITY MANAGER’S OFFICE
INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Date: January 10, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Anthony J. Mejia, City Clerk
Subject: City Council Meeting of January 11, 2024
Below you will find questions received from the Mayor or Councilmembers and answers provided by
City staff regarding tonight’s City Council meeting:
ITEM 2a: STUDY SESSION: RECEIVE INFORMATION REGARDING THE PROGRESS OF
MUNICIPAL LIBRARY SERVICES AND NEXT STEPS
Q1: With the library being closed in May and June, will there be an additional location added
as a cooling center to offset the most used cooling center due to extended service
hours?
A1: Cooling Centers open in Riverside County on June 1. During the month of June, while the library
is closed, the Joslyn Center and Portola Community Center have agreed to admit all individuals
seeking a cooling center. City staff are reaching out to other city partners to seek their
assistance in operating as a cooling center during the month of June and potentially beyond
June.
ITEM 13c: ADOPT RESOLUTION FOR RECOGNIZED OBLIGATION PAYMENT SCHEDULE AND
ADMINISTRATIVE BUDGETS FOR THE FISCAL PERIOD FROM JULY 1, 2024,
THROUGH JUNE 30, 2025, PURSUANT TO HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE SECTION
34177 AND TAKING CERTAIN RELATED ACTIONS
Q1: Item 4, under ROPS 21-22 Cash Balance; Comments describe Litigation Deposit. How are
the funds generated/ distributed?
A1: The deposit (originally $150,000) was made by the former redevelopment agency prior to
dissolution. It was intended for any SARDA litigation but has and continues to be used for costs
related to the Stipulated Judgment. The Stipulated Judgment was against the City and in favor
of the Western Center on Law and Poverty (obligations listed as line numbers 32, 86, 119, and
160 on the ROPS). In brief: The judgment dates to the 90’s and like many other cities, required
Palm Desert to use its 20% housing set aside funds, generated from redevelopment pass
through monies, at a more restrictive level than what was required by law.
Although the State Department of Finance has not permitted SARDA to receive payments for
the judgment in years, we will not retire the obligation until we receive a vacation of the
judgment. To date, one has not been received so that is why it continues to be listed on our
ROPS with no request for funding. Staff continues to work with legal to determine if alternative
options are available. Costs for those services will eventually deplete the deposit. If at some
point the judgment is vacated and funds remain on deposit, they will be returned to SARDA and
used to pay for other obligations listed on the ROPS.

FUND REVENUE (PROJECT NO. GSS00001/CST00018)
Q1: Media Market estimates references non-traditional modes, including pole banners. Would
the banners only be placed along the proposed safe routes?
A1: Non-traditional modes, including pole banners, are not limited to any geographic location in
Palm Desert.
ITEM 14d: APPROVE THE 2024 LIST OF SOCIAL MEDIA COMMEMORATIONS
In compiling the list of 2024 Social Media Commemoration submitted for consideration, staff
inadvertently omitted LGBTQ Pride Month and Greater Palm Springs Pride, both of which were
commemorated on the City’s social media channels in 2023. The attached list has been updated to

CITY OF PALM DESERT
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 11, 2024
PREPARED BY: Bassam AL-Beitawi, Senior Project Manager
REQUEST: NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PROGRAM UPDATE
(PROJECT NO. CST00004)
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file update on the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
Neighborhood Traffic Management Program:
The Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP) is a community-focused traffic calming
approach aimed at addressing neighborhood traffic concerns within residential neighborhoods.
The primary goal of the NTMP is to reduce vehicular speed and alleviate cut-through traffic, and
therefore reduce the frequency of vehicular related accidents on local-residential streets. The
program relies heavily on community feedback and active participation. Key features of an
NTMP typically include:
Community Involvement: Engage residents in identifying traffic-related concerns,
proposing solutions, and participating in decision-making processes.
Traffic Assessments and Data Collection: Conduct traffic studies and collect data (such
as speed counts, traffic volume, accident reports) to assess existing traffic conditions and
identify problematic areas or intersections.
Traffic Calming Measures: Implement physical measures and traffic control devices such
as speed cushions, lane narrowing through striping, and speed trailers or driver’s
feedback signs to reduce vehicle speeds and deter cut-through traffic.
Evaluation and Monitoring: Regularly evaluating the effectiveness of implemented
measures through ongoing monitoring, feedback collection from residents, and reviewing
traffic data to assess if the program has achieved its intended objectives .
Flexible Solutions: Implement a variety of solutions tailored to the specific needs and
characteristics of each neighborhood rather than applying a one -size-fits-all approach.
Palm Desert Initiative:
The City Council previously approved the establishment of an NTMP, based on
recommendations from the City's Active Transportation Program (ATP) Subcommittee. Three
areas were selected for the study:
Page 119 of 413
City of Palm Desert
Neighborhood Traffic Management Program
Page 2 of 3
Area 1: North Palm Desert / Country Club
Area 2: City Center / Downtown Area
Area 3: South Palm Desert
Community Outreach:
Below chronologically describes the community outreach, including:
In May 2022, City staff held initial meetings with each of the three neighborhood are a to
engage residents by gathering insights on neighborhood traffic concerns an d needs.
Attendees were encouraged to share their experiences and perspectives regarding traffic
issues, such as speeding, safety hazards, and areas with high traffic volumes.
In October 2022, the City held follow-up meetings with each of the three neigh borhood
areas. These follow-up community meetings provided City staff an opportunity to provide
the data collection results, resident feedback, and recommended street segments.
In March 2023, and at the request of residents in Area 3, a third community meeting was
held to rediscuss the study findings and receive additional feedback from the community.
In October 2023, City staff held community meetings with each of the three neighborhood
areas. Here City staff presented recommended temporary traffic mitigation measures on
two selected streets in each neighborhood area. The recommendations are intended to
Page 120 of 413
City of Palm Desert
Neighborhood Traffic Management Program
Page 3 of 3
serve as a pilot program to assess the effectiveness of proposed traffic management
solutions on a smaller scale before making them permanent and potenti ally expanding
improvements. Most attendees supported the improvements on the selected streets.
Depending on the street segment, the recommendations include temporary speed
cushions, striping (lane narrowing), driver’s feedback signs, commercial truck restrictions,
and enhanced pedestrian crossings. The community presentations, including detailed
recommendations, can be found on Attachment 1.
Moving Forward:
The City has ordered the traffic calming equipment, which has a lead time of up to 10 weeks.
Following delivery of material and equipment, installation may take up to three weeks. Based
upon the lead time, City staff anticipates installing all equipment in March 2024 and conducting
the pilot program until June 2024.
Following the pilot program, City staff will evaluate the effectiveness of implemented traffic
calming measures, and review traffic data to assess if the program has achieved its intended
objectives. The City will also hold additional meetings in each neighborhood area to receive
community feedback. The meetings will likely occur in the fall 2024 to allow for greater
attendance in the community. City staff will report back to the City Council on the pilot program
following these meetings.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program is included in the approved Capital Improvement
Project (CIP) List for Fiscal Year 2023-24 under Measure A Account Number 2134633-5000204;
therefore, there is no financial impact to the City’s general fund with this action. Funding from
Measure A derives from a voter-approved half-cent sales tax measure to assist cities and the
County of Riverside repair roads and make other transportation upgrades. City staff anticipates
the equipment, including installation, will cost approximately $150,000 annually.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 11, 2024
PREPARED BY: Deborah Glickman, Management Analyst
REQUEST: APPROVE UP TO SEVEN (7) ADDITIONAL TEMPORARY WAIVERS TO
PALM DESERT MUNICIPAL CODE SECTIONS 9.58.010 AND 9.58.020
FOR THE SALE AND CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL AT THE
HENDERSON BUILDING LOCATED AT 72559 HIGHWAY 111 FOR
FISCAL YEAR 2023/2024
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Authorize the City Manager to approve up to an additional seven (7) temporary event 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 Henderson
Building (72559 Highway 111) as needed for fiscal year 2023/2024.
2. 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 December 1, 2023, the City of Palm De sert entered into a lease agreement with the Palm
Desert Area Chamber of Commerce (PDACC) for the Henderson Building located at 72559
Highway 111 (APN 640-370-015). The PDACC uses the building as its office, a place for
meetings, and a resource for businesses and the public.
As part of its programming, the PDACC periodically hosts events 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 PDACC will need to
obtain permits from the ABC. Since the City is the property owner of the facility, it must approve
the PDACC’s ABC applications. On June 22, 2023, the City Council approved five (5) waivers
for PDACC events. To date, the PDACC has used one (1) waiver.
Since the approval of the five (5) waivers, the PDACC has entered into an agreement to take
over El Paseo Cruise Night (EPCN), which will be hosted at the PDACC parking lot with
receptions to be held on the patio of the Henderson Building. Therefore, the PDACC is
requesting an additional seven (7) waivers for this purpose, for a total of twelve (12) waivers for
fiscal year 2023/2024 (five (5) waivers for PDACC use and seven (7) waivers for EPCN).
Approval of this staff report will provide the appropriate waivers for the PDACC to serve alcohol
at its City-owned facility and to secure the required permits from ABC.

Staff will work with the PDACC to ensure it has 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.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s office.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Anthony J. Mejia, City Clerk
Subject: City Council Meeting of January 11, 2024
Below you will find questions received from the Mayor or Councilmembers and answers provided by
City staff regarding tonight’s City Council meeting:
ITEM 13g: APPROVE UP TO SEVEN ADDITIONAL TEMPORARY WAIVERS TO PALM DESERT
MUNICIPAL CODE SECTIONS 9.58.010 AND 9.58.020 FOR THE SALE AND
CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL AT THE HENDERSON BUILDING LOCATED AT 72559
HIGHWAY 111 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023/2024
Q1: What safeguards will be in place to assure that the alcohol is not consumed by those who
are driving in Cruise Night?
A1: The Palm Desert Area Chamber of Commerce (PDACC) is looking to enhance Cruise Night in
the future and may consider a beer garden as the event grows and more spectators attend. The
waivers have been requested for future possibilities, but alcohol will not be served immediately.
Responsible service is a priority for the PDACC and it will decline service to anyone arriving
impaired or showing signs of intoxication.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 11, 2024
PREPARED BY: Deborah Glickman, Management Analyst
REQUEST: EXPAND THE UNITE PALM DESERT BICYCLE INCENTIVE PROGRAM
FUNDS TO BE USED BY THE CITY FOR PLACEMENT OF BICYCLE
RACKS ON CITY PROPERTY
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Expand the use of the Unite Palm Desert Bicycle Incentive Program funds to allow the City
to purchase and place bicycle racks on public property.
2. Increase the per bicycle rack allowance from $1,000 to $1,500.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On April 14, 2022, the City Council approved the Unite Palm Desert Bicycle Incentive Program
(UPDBIP) with a budget of $20,000 utilizing Air Quality Management District (AQMD) funds. The
program allows business/property owners to select from three (3) City Council approved bicycle
racks with a value of up to $1,000 to be placed at their location. To date, the City has installed
seven (7) bicycle racks, and one (1) additional rack is pending.
Businesses that have received bicycle racks or whose bicycle rack is pending are as follows:
Big Wheel Tours
Engel & Volkers
Renova
S&W Investment Group, LLC
Shadow Mountain Resort
Starbucks on El Paseo (pending)
The Gardens on El Paseo
The Syndicate
Inclusive of the business’s pending bicycle rack installation, $7,564 has been expended, leaving
a balance of $12,436. Since the approval of the program, the cost of the bicycle racks and
shipping has increased, and racks and shipping are costing an average of $1,100 each. Due to
rising costs in price and shipping, and an expected further increase, staff is requesting to r aise
the bicycle rack allowance from $1,000 to $1,500.
Staff estimates that the balance of funds ($12,436) will purchase a minimum of eight (8) new
bicycle racks.
Additionally, to continue to use the AQMD funds for its intended purpose of supporting cle an air
activities, staff recommends continuing to work directly with the business/property owners and
expanding the program to allow the City to purchase and place bicycle racks on City property.

Page 2 of 2
The location of the placement of bicycle racks on City prope rty will be based on
recommendations from City staff and the area’s bicycle community members , and are
anticipated to be placed at City parks, the future library, the City’s affordable housing complexes,
along El Paseo, and more locations. The same racks that are already approved for the UPDBIP
would be purchased and installed on City property to maintain continuity.
Below are the three (3) City Council approved bicycle rack options.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s office.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funds in the amount of $20,000 for the UPDBIP have already been budgeted. There is no
additional fiscal impact of this report.

MEETING DATE: January 11, 2024
PREPARED BY: Deborah Glickman, Management Analyst
REQUEST: REALLOCATE $5,000 OF UNITE PALM DESERT SECURITY CAMERA
GRANT FUNDS FOR A MISTER SYSTEM GRANT PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Reallocate $5,000 of Unite Palm Desert Security Camera Grant Program (UPDSC) funds to
a mister system grant program that grants up to $500 per commercial business/property
owner to purchase and install misters at their location.
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute any and all documents related to a mister system
grant program.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On March 10, 2022, the City Council a pproved the UPDSC Grant Program with a budget of
$20,000 from the General Fund. The UPDSC Grant Program reimburses Palm Desert
businesses or property owners in a commercial location up to $500 to purchase and install
security cameras at their location. Businesses/property owners are eligible to be reimbursed for
the amount they spent on the system, are required to register their cameras with the Riverside
County Sheriff’s Department and must keep the cameras in place for two (2) years unless the
business/property owner opts to upgrade the system at its own expense.
To date, fourteen (14) businesses/property owners have received grants, and three (3) additional
businesses are pending funding. Inclusive of the businesses pending funding, $8,284 has been
expended leaving a balance of $11,716.
Following are the businesses that received grants or have grants pending.

Recommendation
Since the UPDSC Grant Program has expended less than half of the allocated funds on security
systems, staff recommends leaving $6,716 in the UPDSC Grant Program fund for approximately
thirteen (13) additional security camera grants and that the remaining $5,000 to be repurposed
for a pilot program granting up to $500 to businesses/property owners to purchase and install
mister systems.
The grant would reimburse actual expenses up to $500 per business/property owner, based on
actual costs, for a total of ten (10) grants. Grantees would be required to keep the system in
place for two (2) years or replace it with a new one at the grantee’s expense.
If the program is successful, then staff will request additional funding in the fiscal year 2024/2025
budget.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s office.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funds in the amount of $20,000 for the UPDSC Grant Program have already been budgeted.
There is no additional fiscal impact of this report.

2. With regret, accept the resignation of Erin Scott from the Marketing Committee.
3. Appoint Stephen Nelson to the Public Safety Committee to fill the unscheduled vacancy for
the term ending June 30, 2025.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On June 24, 2021, Gary Bindman was appointed to the Public Safety Committe e for a term
ending June 30, 2025. On December 13, 2023, Mr. Bindman informed the City of his need to
resign from the Public Safety Commission effective immediately. On June 24, 2021, Erin Scott
was reappointed to the Marketing Committee as a representative of a local attraction (The Living
Desert Zoo and Gardens) for a term ending June 30, 2025. Due to Erin Scott ’s separation from
the Living Desert, the seat was vacated.
The Public Safety Committee has one alternate member, Stephen Nelson. It has been
customary for the City Council to appoint an alternate member upon a regular member vacancy.
As such, it is recommended that the City Council appoint Mr. Nelson to the Public Safety
Committee to fill the unscheduled vacancy for a term ending June 30, 2025.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO SECOND REVISED AND RESTATED
DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
Surf Lagoon, Surf Center, and Residential Units Project
This Second Amendment to Second Revised and Restated Disposition and
Development Agreement (this “Second Amendment”) is entered into as of January 11,
2024 (the “Execution Date”), by and among the CITY OF PALM DESERT, a chartered
municipal corporation (the “City”), and DESERT WAVE VENTURES, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (the “Developer”). The City and Developer are the sole parties
(each, a “Party” and, collectively, the “Parties”) to this Second Amendment. The “Effective
Date” shall be January 11, 2024.
RECITALS
This Second Amendment is based upon the following recitals, facts and
understandings of the Parties:
A. The City and Developer entered into that certain Disposition and
Development Agreement, dated December 30, 2019 (the “Original DDA”). The City and
Developer subsequently entered into that certain Revised and Restated Disposition and
Development Agreement, dated April 22, 2022 (the “First Revised DDA”). The Parties
subsequently entered into that certain Second Revised and Restated Disposition and
Development Agreement, dated November 17, 2022 (the “Second Revised DDA”), which
completely superseded both the Original DDA and the First Revised DDA. The Parties
subsequently entered into that certain First Amendment to the Second Revised and
Restated Disposition and Development Agreement, dated May 25, 2023 (the “First
Amendment”). The Parties now intend to further amend the Second Revised DDA (and
First Amendment) with this Second Amendment.
B. The City has previously conveyed 3.03 acres of real property (APNs 620-
400-008 & 620-420-024) (the “City Property”) to Developer by a grant deed (“City Grant
Deed”) pursuant to that certain Purchase Option Agreement dated August 15, 2018, and
the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Palm Desert
(“SARDA”) previously conveyed 14.65 acres of real property (APN 620 -420-023) (the
“SARDA Property”) to Developer by a grant deed (“SARDA Grant Deed”) pursuant to that
certain Purchase Option Agreement dated August 15, 2018, as amended by the First
Amendment to Real Estate Option and Purchase and Sale Agreement dated May 22,
2021. The City Grant Deed and the SARDA Grant Deed are referred to herein,
collectively, as the “Deed of Sale.” Collectively, the City Property and the SARDA
Property make up the project site (“Project Site”). As consideration, in part, for the City
entering into the Second Revised DDA and to secure the Developer’s performance of its
obligations thereunder, the Developer executed a Performance Deed of Trust and
Security Agreement, dated December 22, 2022, and recorded on December 21, 2022, as
Document No. 2022-0510281 in the official records of Riverside County. Concurrently
with, or prior to, the execution of this Agreement, Developer entered into a
Reimbursement Agreement, dated December 16, 2019, by and between City and
Page 165 of 413
-2-
Developer, for the purpose of reimbursing the City for the costs and expenses it incurs
for the review process of the Project.
E. The Parties now desire to amend the Parties terms of cooperation, the
security for post-closing obligations, and the Schedule of Performance. All capitalized
terms not defined within this Agreement shall have the meani ngs ascribed to such terms
in the Second Revised DDA.
AGREEMENTS
For valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and the

“5.1 Cooperation Between the Parties.
(a) All approvals required by the City and Developer under this
Agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld or denied (except where such actions are
specifically said to be in the sole and absolute discretion of a Party) and, where
specifically referenced in this Agreement or in the Schedule of Performance, shall be
given within the times set forth in this Agreement or in the Schedule of Performance.
(b) City and Developer shall, to the extent reasonably necessary,
cooperate with each other to enable each Party to perform its obligations under this
Agreement; provided, however, that in the event that any Party is asked to provide
cooperation, assurance, assistance, documentation, or investigation and such Party
determines that complying with such request will be unlawful, unreasonably burdensome,
unreasonably expensive, or unreasonably time consuming, such Party may refuse to
cooperate, without liability to that Party, by providing notice to the Party requesting the
cooperation. Notwithstanding this provision, this Section 5.1(b) does not limit City’s
discretionary actions and City reserves the right to exercise discretionary actions, each in
in its sole authority and in its sole and absolute discretion
2. Section 5.3(a)(i) of the First Amendment is hereby amended to read as follows:
“(i) If the Developer fails to satisfy the Post -Closing Obligations by the dates
detailed in the Schedule of Performance (subject to delay for events of force majeure)(the
"Post-Closing Obligations Deadlines"), then City may issue a notice of default and if within
thirty (30) days following written notice from City or, in the case of any Post-Closing
Obligation which cannot reasonably be performed within thirty (30) days, Developer’s
failure to commence such performance within said thirty (30) day period after receipt of
written notice and thereafter diligently pursue such performance to completion, shall
constitute a default by Developer. Upon a default by Developer under this Section
5.3(a)(i), the City may exercise its Power of Termination by delivering written notice to
Developer. Upon receipt from City of written notice of City’s exercise of its Power of
Termination, Developer agrees to, and shall, within five (5) calendar days, execute and

CITY OF PALM DESERT
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 11, 2024
PREPARED BY: Eric Ceja, Director of Economic Development
REQUEST: APPROVE THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE SECOND REVISED AND
RESTATED DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE CITY OF PALM DESERT AND DESERT WAVE
VENTURES, LLC
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve the Second Amendment to the Second Revised and Restated Disposition and
Development Agreement (DDA) between the City of Palm Desert and Desert Wave
Ventures, LLC.
2. Authorize the Mayor to execute said Agreements.
3. Authorize the City Manager to make non-substantive changes to the Second Amendment
to the Second Revised and Restated DDA as needed prior to execution by the Mayor.
4. Authorize the City Manager to draft, negotiate, and execute other supporting agreements
that may be required by the DDA.
5. Authorize the City Manager to execute said agreements.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
DSRT Surf, originally approved in 2019, includes the construction of a 5.5-acre surf lagoon, up
to 88-Villa Units, and associated amenities, at the Desert Willow Golf Resort. On May 25, 2023,
the City Council approved the First Amendment to the Second Revised and Restated DDA
resulting in:
- Removal of a requirement for hotel development,
- Inclusion of annual payment to the City of $500,000 with annual 3% increase for the life
of the project, and
- Removal of all City financial assistance
As with all previous agreements, the developer is subject to certain obligations including
construction contract review, project monitoring, and water usage reporting to the City. The DDA
also includes a Schedule of Performance (Schedule) which outlines the timing of construction
obligations by the developer. The developer has made substantial progress toward mobilizing
the construction of the project and has met several of the obligations in the Schedule; however,
a requirement in the Schedule for submission of finalized construction contracts with guaranteed
maximum pricing (GMP) has resulted in a technical issue for both the City and developer.
Essentially, contractors will not sign final contracts based on the penalties for non-performance
of the contractors obligations within a 24-month period due to labor and material concerns. To
remedy this the developer is requesting an additional 12-months to complete construction.
City staff have reviewed this request with respect to ensuring project completion and protecting
the City’s interest. Existing protections include the City’s ability to issue a “Notice of Default” if
Page 175 of 413
City of Palm Desert
DSRT Surf - Second Amendment to the Second Revised and Restate DDA
Page 2 of 2
the Schedule isn’t adhered to and the proposed amendment provides the developer the
opportunity to remedy non-performance within a 30-day period. Should the developer fail to
commence a cure of the performance delay, the City retains the right to have the developer quit-
claim the property back to the City. Surety Bonds are also collected through the construction
permitting process to ensure that the City can remediate the property if this provision is
exercised.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by Mr. Robert F. Messinger with Burke, Willams and Sorensen
(BWS), special counsel to the City for the DSRT Surf project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to the City with the proposed revisions to the Second Amendment to
the Second Revised and Restate DDA.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
Federal Grant Program:
In 2022, the U.S. Department of Transportation began a new grant program known as Safe
Streets and Roads for All (SS4A). This federal discretionary program has been appropriated with
$5 billion over five years (2022 to 2026). The SS4A Program funds initiat ives to prevent roadway
deaths and serious injuries.
The SS4A Program divides into two types of grants: Planning and Implementation grants.
Planning grants provide funds to develop or supplement a safety action plan. Implementation
grants provide funds to implement projects and strategies identified in Planning grants to
address roadway safety problems. Applicants are only eligible to apply for Implementation grants
following the award and implementation of Planning grants.
Grant Award and Activities:
In September 2022, the City of Palm Desert (City) submitted an SS4A Planning grant application
for the Palm Desert Vision Zero Strategy (Strategy) to undertake planning and public
engagement efforts to reduce local roadway fatalities and injuries. The City’s grant application
requested $970,000, which included a $250,000 non -federal share (local match). In July 2023,
the City was awarded an SS4A Planning grant in the amount of $970,000 to develop the
Strategy. The Strategy includes the following elements:
Safe Routes to Schools Plan: The plan aims to improve pedestrian and bicycling options
around public schools. Aligned with the City's Local Road Safety Plan, the initiative
Page 177 of 413
City of Palm Desert
Vision Zero Strategy
Page 2 of 4
addresses traffic safety concerns during student drop-off and pick-up times. Through
tasks such as data analysis, collision assessments, community engagement, and
infrastructure recommendations, the plan aims to create safer and more accessible routes
for students, families, and residents. This approach includes working with an advisory
committee, outreach events, and forming actionable recommendations.
Safe Routes for Seniors Plan: The plan aims to enhance the walking and bicycling options
for the City's senior population by evaluating transportation infrastructure and mobility
programs to improve safety and convenience for seniors. The plan conducts analyses
and engages with an advisory committee to develop outreach, workshops, surveys, and
walk audits to identify obstacles and offer practical suggestions.
Public Engagement and Activation: The initiative aims to educate the community on using
the City's active transportation network safely and comfortably. This locally branded
campaign, supported by significant funding, involves professional marketing services. It
seeks to transform the local culture of driving, walking, and biking, with a specific focus
on biking practices in Palm Desert. Ultimately, the goal is to implement a marketing
strategy that fosters safe biking practices and engages the community.
Investment Strategy: The Investment Strategy aims to consolidate and prioritize
infrastructure projects to pursue future capital improvements, particularly in securing a
SS4A Implementation grant. This involves reviewing and aligning various planning
documents, identifying outstanding project recommendations, and evaluating them based
on safety enhancement, feasibility, and grant criteria.
Dashboard and Monitoring Tool: The tool will publicly track and maintain progress in
reducing traffic injuries and fatalities and provide accountability, quantify program
impacts, and facilitate necessary adjustments in strategy. The tool will integrate injury,
crash, demographic, and transportation data from multiple sources.
Project Administration: This amount goes toward City staff grant administration.
Procurement and Analysis:
In late September 2023, the City released a Request for Proposal (RFP) to develop the Strategy.
The City received three proposals from consulting firms by early November 2023. A review
committee consisting of staff from the departments of Public Works and Economic Development
(Public Affairs) evaluated the proposals. The consulting firms and proposed costs can be found
below; please note the proposals were evaluated based on providing the most robust and
creative scope of services within the defined federal grant budget (and not the lowest cost).
Consulting Firm Location Proposal Amount
Minagar & Associates, Inc. Laguna Hills, CA $606,960
Alta Planning + Design, Inc. Los Angeles, CA $948,920
Kimely-Horn & Associates, Inc. Orange, CA $949,010

Page 3 of 4
Recommendation:
City staff recommend entering into a professional services agreement with Alta Planning +
Design, Inc. (Consultant) in the amount of $948,920. The proposal review committee found the
Consultant’s proposal to have the most comprehensive and creative approach to implementing
the scope of services, and within the federal grant budget. The Consultant anticipates completing
the scope of services by July 31, 2025.
The Consultant offered outstanding reference s and notably emphasized their capacity to
advance planning initiatives in complex environments with various internal and external
stakeholders. They were also recognized for their adeptness in executing projects within the
designated budget, timeline, and scope. In addition, the Consultant outlined its track record of
delivering similar projects locally, regionally, and nationally. Agencies that they have performed
similar types of projects over the last five years include:
Agency Project
CVAG CV Link Master Plan, Design, Engineering & Construction Support
City of Coachella Connecting Coachella ATP Application & PA&ED
County of San Mateo Evaluation, High-Injury Network & SRTS Strategy
City of Santa Monica Safe Routes for Seniors - Active Aging Pilot Program
City of Bakersfield Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Plan
County of San Bernardino Safe Routes to School Program
City of Oceanside Safe Routes to School Program
City of El Paseo, TX Vision Zero Action Plan
Note a substantial amount of funds are allocated toward education and outreach (campaign)
activities due to the ability to make an immediate and memorable impact. While the City has
already invested heavily in making active transportation improvements, thi s campaign will focus
on communicating key messages with roadway users to promote safety. The consulting firms
were also encouraged to subcontract with professional marketing services during the RFP
process to develop strategies and materials. As suggested, the Consultant partnered with the
full-service creative agency, Idea Peddler, to assist with the public engagement and activation
activities. The Consultant’s proposal includes the required elements in the RFP and the budget
can be found accordingly, excluding $20,000 for City project administration.
Strategy Timeline Proposal Amount
Safe Routes to School January 2024 – February 2025 $257,264
Safe Routes for Seniors January 2024 – February 2025 $155,508
Public Engagement & Activation April 2024 – July 2025 $403,115
Investment Strategy September 2024 – April 2025 $75,780
Dashboard & Monitoring Tool June 2024 – March 2025 $57,253
Total: $948,920
Implementation Grant (2025):
As previously mentioned, SS4A Implementation grants provide funds to construct projects and
strategies identified only from these Planning grants to address roadway safety problems.
Regarding the City’s Planning grant, the proposed Investment Strategy would consolidate newly
formed and outstanding recommendations across planning documents to prioritize and pursue
Page 179 of 413

capital improvement projects in the future. Specifically, the City is strongly interested in
developing a detailed scope of priorities to pursue in an SS4A Implementation grant in 2025.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact to the City’s General Fund with this action. Funds totaling $1,131,940
were included in the Safe Routes to Schools Plan in the approved Capital Improvements Project
(CIP) List for Fiscal Year 2023-24 under Measure A Account Number 2134300-5000910. Funds
totaling $881,940 remain in this account ($250,000 budgeted to the Wayfinding Master Plan).
The contract totals $948,920, which includes $698,920 to be reimbursed by the U.S. Department
of Transportation SS4A Grant and $250,000 as the City’s non-federal share (local match). Due
to amounts of funds available prior to reimbursement, an appropriation of $66,980 is necessary.

(A) Proof of Insurance. Consultant shall provide certificates of
insurance to City as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein, along with a waiver of
subrogation endorsement for workers’ compensation. Insurance certificates and endorsements
must be approved by City’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance. Current

Agreement. City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance
policies, at any time.
(B) Duration of Coverage. Consultant shall procure and
maintain for the duration of the Agreement insurance against claims for injuries to persons or
damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Services
hereunder by Consultant, his/her agents, representatives, employees or subconsultants.
(C) Primary/Non-Contributing. Coverage provided by
Consultant shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by City
shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied
by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance
shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a
primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of City before the City’s own insurance or self-
insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
(D) City’s Rights of Enforcement. In the event any policy of
insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications, 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 Consultant, or City will
withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, City
may terminate this Agreement.
(E) 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 State of California,

BBK 72500.00001\32374915.1
(F) Waiver of Subrogation. All insurance coverage, except for
professional liability, maintained or procured pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to
waive subrogation against the City, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees,
volunteers, and representatives or shall specifically allow Consultant or others providing
insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior
to a loss. Consultant hereby waives its own right of recovery against the City, its elected or
appointed officers, agents, officials, employees, volunteers and representatives and shall require
similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.
(G) Enforcement of Contract Provisions (non estoppel).
Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to
inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on
the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
(H) 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 Consultant maintains higher limits than the
minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits
maintained by the Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified
minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
(I) Notice of Cancellation. Consultant agrees to oblige its
insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide 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.
(J) Additional Insured Status. General liability, automobile
liability, and if applicable, pollution liability and cyber liability, policies shall provide or be endorsed
to provide that the City and its officers, officials, employees, agents, volunteers and
representatives shall be additional insureds with regard to liability and defense of suits or claims
arising out of the performance of the Agreement, under such policies. This provision shall also
apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.
(K) 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.
(L) Separation of Insureds. A severability of interests provision
must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Consultant’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. Consultant agrees to ensure that its
subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the Project who is brought onto
or involved in the Project by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and
endorsements required of Consultant. Consultant 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. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with

Revised 07-2023
BBK 72500.00001\32374915.1
subconsultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the Project will be submitted to City for
review.
(N) City’s Right to Revise Specifications. The City and the City’s
Risk Manager reserve the right at any time during the term of the Agreement to change the
amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance
written notice of such change. If such change results in additional cost to the Consultant, the City
and Consultant may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation. If the City reduces the insurance
requirements, the change shall go into effect immediately and require no advanced written notice.
(O) 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.
(P) Timely Notice of Claims. Consultant shall give City prompt
and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Consultant’s
performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the
required liability policies.
(Q) Additional Insurance. Consultant 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 Services.
3.2.12 Water Quality Management and Compliance. Consultant shall keep itself
and all subcontractors, staff, and employees fully informed of and in compliance with all local,
state and federal laws, rules and regulations that may impact, or be implicated by the performance
of the Services including, without limitation, all applicable provisions of the City’s ordinances
regulating water quality and storm water; the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C.
§ 1251, et seq.); the California Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act (Water Code § 13000
et seq.); and any and all regulations, policies, or permits issued pursuant to any such authority.
Consultant must comply with the lawful requirements of the City, and any other municipality,
drainage district, or other local agency with jurisdiction over the location where the Services are
to be conducted, regulating water quality and storm water discharges. Failure to comply with laws,
regulations, and ordinances listed in this Section is a violation of federal and state law. Consultant
warrants that all employees and subcontractors shall have sufficient skill and experience to
perform the work assigned to them without impacting water quality in violation of the laws,
regulations, and policies of this Section.
3.3 Fees and Payments.
3.3.1 Compensation. Contractor shall receive compensation, including

applicable.
3.3.2 Payment of Compensation. Consultant shall submit to City monthly

Revised 07-2023
BBK 72500.00001\32374915.1
notice to Consultant within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice of any disputed fees set forth
therein. Consultant 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 Consultant 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 Consultant. The making of final payment shall not
constitute a waiver of any claims by the City for any reason whatsoever.
3.3.3 Reimbursement for Expenses. Consultant shall not be reimbursed for any
expenses unless authorized in writing by City or included in Exhibit "C" of this Agreement.
3.3.4 Extra Work. At any time during the term of this Agreement, City may

Parties did not reasonably anticipate would be necessary at the execution of this Agreement.
Consultant shall not perform, nor be compensated for, Extra Work without written authorization
from the City.

wage rates and the performance of other requirements on "public works" and "maintenance"

"maintenance" project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, Consultant agrees to fully comply
with such Prevailing Wage Laws. City shall provide Consultant with a copy of the prevailing rates
of per diem wages in effect at the commencement of this Agreement. Consultant 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

to effectuate the requirements of sections 1771, 1774, 1775, 1776, 1777.5, 1813, and 1815 of the
Labor Code within this Agreement, and Consultant shall therefore comply with such Labor Code
sections to the fullest extent required by law. Consultant shall defend, indemnify, and hold the
City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, 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.

public works project of over $25,000 when the project is for construction, alteration, demolition,
installation, or repair work, or a public works project of over $15,000 when the project is for
maintenance work, in addition to the foregoing, then pursuant to Labor Code sections 1725.5 and
1771.1, the Consultant and all subconsultants must be registered with the Department of
Industrial Relations (“DIR”). Consultant shall maintain registration for the duration of the Project
and require the same of any subconsultants. This Project may also be subject to compliance
monitoring and enforcement by the DIR. It shall be Consultant’s sole responsibility to comply with
all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements, including the submission of payroll
records directly to the DIR. Any stop orders issued by the DIR against Consultant or any
subconsultant that affect Consultant’s performance of Services, including any delay, shall be
Consultant’s sole responsibility. Any delay arising out of or resulting from such stop orders shall
be considered Consultant caused delay and shall not be compensable by the City. Consultant
shall defend, indemnify, and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, volunteers
and representatives free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of stop orders issued
Page 189 of 413

by the DIR against Consultant or any subconsultant.
3.4.3 Labor Certification. By its signature hereunder, Consultant certifies that it
is aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the California Labor Code which require every
employer to be insured against liability for Worker's Compensation or to undertake self-insurance
in accordance with the provisions of that Code and agrees to comply with such provisions before
commencing the performance of the Services.
3.5 Accounting Records.
3.5.1 Maintenance and Inspection. Consultant shall maintain complete and
accurate records with respect to all costs and expenses incurred under this Agreement. All such
records shall be clearly identifiable. Consultant shall allow a representative of City during normal

documents created pursuant to this Agreement. Consultant shall allow inspection of all work, data,
documents, proceedings, and activities related to the Agreement for a period of three (3) years
from the date of final payment under this Agreement.

walking and bicycling options for students, their
families, and residents. Through authentic and robust
stakeholder engagement combined with targeted
analysis of relevant data, the School Plan will identify
safety, infrastructure, and programmatic barriers to
walking and bicycling to, from, and around school. The
School Plan development process itself will provide
opportunities to educate and encourage families at
schools in Palm Desert and surrounding communities to
walk and bike to school safely and often.
The City has demonstrated its commitment to active
transportation through its Local Road Safety Plan, which
highlighted the need to improve safe access to schools
for walking and biking for the school commute. Palm
Desert’s further commitment to the health and safety of
its students will be realized through the completion of
the School Plan by identifying clear and actionable next
steps to improve school routes and promote their use,
including for those with mobility challenges.
The School Plan project includes 8 schools serving
more than 7,000 students across one school district and
three cities. The Alta team understands that working
with school communities presents unique opportunities
for deep and personal engagement into highly localized
issues around neighborhood infrastructure and travel
behavior. At the same time, we are sensitive to the
value of participants’ time and seek to structure a
multi-layered outreach that gives stakeholders multiple
channels for engagement throughout the process, and
aligns with existing meetings and events as much as
possible.
Based on our experience working on similar SRTS
efforts and guided by the City of Palm Desert,
neighboring cities, and Desert Sands Unified School
District, Riverside County’s Department of Public Health,
and school and community stakeholders, Alta will create
a School Plan that addresses the following objectives:
• Develop a School Plan that incorporates infrastructure
and non-infrastructure recommendations.
• Engage with stakeholders to identify school
community-supported SRTS projects that will result in
improved safety, public health, and connectivity.
• Provide actionable recommendations geared toward
grants and implementation.
The following describes the Alta team’s anticipated
scope of work for the School Plan. For all deliverables,
we assume the City will circulate drafts to any potential
additional reviewers and provide one round of
consolidated and internally-consistent comments.

Task 1.1 Existing Conditions
The Alta team will begin the work on the School Plan
by conducting a project kickoff meeting followed by
collection of a variety of data to inform the planning
effort.
Task 1.1.1 Project Management
Throughout the project, there will be ongoing
coordination between Alta’s Project Manager and
City of Palm Desert staff including in-person, e-mail,
and phone communication to keep staff up to date.
In addition, we will conduct bi-weekly calls to review
progress, schedule, budget, and next steps covering
active tasks.
Alta will use the following communication and reporting
approach:
• Project Kickoff Meeting. Alta will facilitate a virtual
project kickoff meeting that will include:
»Introductions
»Review of project schedule to identify key tasks,
milestones, critical path items, deliverables, and
due dates
• Regular Team Meetings. Throughout the project,
Alta will host virtual bi-weekly meetings to keep the
project moving forward on schedule and budget.
• Consolidated Comments. Unless otherwise stated,
Alta has assumed one round of City review of draft
deliverables including consolidated and internally
consistent comments to maintain efficiency and
adhere to the project schedule.
• Monthly Progress Reports. We will produce monthly
progress reports that summarize tasks completed, and
outline tasks to be completed in the coming month.
• Meeting Summaries and Action Items. Alta will
produce detailed meeting summaries covering the
discussion items and will include a list of follow-up
tasks and the responsible party for each task in a
Status of Open Items format.
Budget for these activities have been distributed
throughout the project commensurate with the
anticipated level of administration, oversight,
coordination, and reporting effort required for each task.
Task 1.1.2 Plan Review
The Alta team, in collaboration with the City, will collect
and review existing plans, policies, programs, and data.
Existing plans will likely include, but not be limited to:
• General Plan
• Envision Palm Desert Strategic Plan
• Local Road Safety Plan
• SCAG’s Connect SoCal
Findings will be included in an Existing Conditions
Memo.
Task 1.1.3 Data Collection
Alta will gather existing conditions and background data
for each school, identify opportunities and constraints
as well as standards by which recommended updates
will be set to guide the preparation of the School Plan,
and include existing land uses, current and projected
housing and land use development, population
characteristics, and travel projections.
Alta will prepare a data request memo identifying key
data needs such as existing conditions information
that includes existing and proposed facilities, current
mode share, description of land use and destinations,
existing bicycle parking, existing wayfinding and
existing non-infrastructure programs. This memo will
be shared with the City Project Manager and the City
will supply available data and documents that are not
publicly available or that the project team does not have
from previous work in Palm Desert. The findings of the
existing conditions and background data review will be
compiled into an Existing Conditions Memo.
Task 1.1.4 Traffic Counts
Alta team will collect traffic counts at up to three (3)
locations near each school, including bicyclist and
pedestrian counts conducted in three-hour blocks
around school pick-up and drop-off times. The count
information will be used to assess demand that can
inform areas for improvement and prioritize potential
projects. The findings of the traffic counts will be
provided in the Existing Conditions Memo. Additionally,
the count information will also be used to inform the
Crossing Guard Analysis (further details provided in
Task 1.5). If desired, Palm Desert can reserve some of
the proposed counts to use later in the project to help
inform conceptual design decisions.

Task 1.1.5 Existing Conditions Maps and
Memorandum
Alta has extensive experience preparing
comprehensive base maps for SRTS projects that
illustrate important information in a cohesive and clear
manner. We will prepare a base map for each school to
show the school location, physical conditions, and travel
information such as enrollment boundaries, school bus
routes, transit lines, improvement plans, and crossing
guard locations. We will further compile all materials
developed in other tasks into an Existing Conditions
Memo.
Task 1.1 Deliverables
• Kickoff Meeting and Meeting Notes
• Monthly Progress Reports
• Bi-Weekly Team Meetings
• Data request memorandum
• Traffic counts around project schools
• Existing Conditions Memo, draft and final
• Base maps for project schools
Task 1.2 Collisions and Gaps Analysis
Task 1.2.1 Collisions Analysis
Alta will conduct a bicycle and pedestrian collision
analysis using the latest available 10-year SWITRS
data. This analysis will be focused within a half-mile
radius of each school and will include the total number
of collisions by mode. We will document the top five
intersections with the highest bicycle and pedestrian
collisions and corresponding schools, and include the
top five most common collision factor causes. Alta
team will combine the collision data analysis performed
through the 2016 Local Road Safety Plan with the most
recent SWITRS data and supplemental data provided by
City staff for each school (if available). The findings will
be summarized and included in the Collisions and Gaps
Analysis Memo.
Task 1.2.2 Challenges, Needs, and Gaps Analysis
and Memo
Alta will conduct an assessment of infrastructure gaps
and needs. This assessment will quantify factors that
impact walking and bicycling activity, locate network
gaps as potential projects, and identify areas with
specific characteristics, such as areas that have both
significant active transportation gaps and a high
demand for walking and bicycling. This analysis will
consider both roadways and trails within the City. Alta
will use data about existing multimodal infrastructure to
develop an understanding of how well destinations and
areas of demand are connected for people who want
to walk and bike for both transportation and recreation.
Our analysis will also consider how the City’s networks
connect regionally to destinations throughout the
Coachella Valley.
Alta will apply the results of these analyses to identify:
• Gaps in existing bicycle networks, intersection
crossing needs, and other conflict points;
• Gaps in pedestrian networks, such as sidewalk gaps;
• Crossing needs in areas of pedestrian activities or at
crossings of streets and other public rights-of-way;
and
• New trail opportunities along drainage channels,
other infrastructure rights-of-way, or adjacent to public
street right-of-ways.
Alta will produce maps, tables, and narrative that
describe gaps and needs synthesizing this information
into critical needs and gaps that can be addressed by
the City. Information from the public outreach process
will also be integrated into this process. Alta will compile
the collision data and analysis into the Collisions and
Gaps Analysis Memo. Building on the base maps
created in Task 1.1, we will identify challenges, needs,
and gaps in the bicycle and pedestrian networks.
The findings will be summarized and included in the
Collisions and Gaps Analysis Memo.
Task 1.2 Deliverables
• Collisions and Gaps Analysis Memo (Draft and Final)

Task 1.3 Outreach and Engagement
Task 1.3.1 Outreach and Engagement Plan
The Alta team brings our experience conducting
outreach in Palm Desert and the surrounding
communities and understands the importance of
developing material and notices in English and Spanish.
With that in mind Alta, with input from the City, will
prepare a detailed Outreach and Engagement Plan that
will include school and community engagement tools
and events to be used throughout the development of
the School Plan. The Outreach and Engagement Plan
will consist of a strategy to fully engage underserved
communities, including outreach in multiple languages
and means to reach groups that may not participate in
traditional planning events.
Task 1.3.2 Website and Social Media
Alta is experienced in developing engaging content that
supports the SRTS planning process. We will develop
content for a School Plan project webpage on the
City’s website and social media platforms. The purpose
of this content is to promote outreach and education
materials, document workshops, promote parent
surveys, workshops, walk audits, the Draft School Plan,
and eventually the Final School Plan. The website will
also allow stakeholders to submit feedback without
attending meetings.
Task 1.3.3 Student Data
Alta understands the importance of student and partner
input into the planning process. Alta has created
modified data collection forms for the standardized
Student Travel Tally and Parent Survey questionnaires
from the National Center for Safe Routes to School that
streamline and simplify that data collection. With the
closure of the National Center, Alta uses SurveyMonkey
to collect this data, and has developed template data
analysis spreadsheets that easily analyze the data
on student travel modes and parent attitudes about
walking and bicycling to school. Data collection will
be conducted twice, once at the beginning of the
School Plan project and once at the end. The team
will summarize these findings into the Outreach and
Engagement Memo.
Task 1.3.4 SRTS Workshops
The Alta team will conduct up to four (4) virtual SRTS
Workshops (or in-person if requested) for school
staff, parents, law enforcement, fire department, and
other stakeholders. The workshops will be based on
the National SRTS Course from the National Center
for Safe Routes to School, of which SRTS Specialist
Kristin Haukom is a National Instructor. The workshops’
purpose will be to introduce the School Plan project
and educate on the 6 E’s of SRTS (Engagement,
Equity, Encouragement, Education, Engineering, and
Evaluation). The COVID-19 pandemic has taught us
that virtual meetings, broadcasted through various
platforms, are the best way to engage with project
stakeholders, including those who are typically
unable to attend community events due to lack of
transportation, childcare, work conflicts, or language
barriers. All workshops will be conducted in English with
Spanish interpretation available.
Alta excels at community outreach and
engagement whether it is in-person at
public events and open house workshops,
or through online open houses, maps
and surveys, and virtual stakeholder
meetings. Our expertise with virtual
engagement will see that participants
feel connected to the project and each
other while maintaining energy and
focus on project needs.
Alta created a suite of outreach materials for the Pacific Electric
Trail Expansion Feasibility Study that were used to engage with community stakeholders at a variety of events, including Rialto’s
Annual Bike Rodeo.

35ALTA PLANNING + DESIGN, INC.RFP no. 2023-RFP-212 Vision Zero Strategy(Roadway Safety Planning & Public Engagement)
Task 1.3.5 School Walk Audits
Alta will lead school and City staff, parents/caregivers,
residents, and other interested stakeholders on a
walking audit of each of the eight (8) School Plan project
school sites during the morning arrival or afternoon
dismissal period. The purpose of these walk audits
is to observe conditions and behaviors and identify
challenges or impediments that currently limit walking
and biking. The walk audits will be an opportunity
to verify existing conditions of facilities and will be
supported by Spanish-speaking staff when appropriate.
Alta will work with each school community to notice
these walk audits through their normal communication
channels (i.e., e-blasts, flyers, PeachJar, etc.).
In addition to the in-person walk audits, Alta will provide
community members who are unable to participate
in the walk audit with another way to provide input,
such as through a web-based mapping tool where
participants can “pin” locations and write the issues or
concerns for the marked location. The findings from
each walk audit, including stakeholder feedback and
photos, will be incorporated into a Walk Audit Report.
Task 1.3.6 Pop-Up Workshops
Alta knows the importance of meeting people where
they are at and will conduct “pop-up workshops” at up
to three (3) public events, such as farmer’s markets,
community fairs, or local parks, to provide information
and solicit feedback from the community on the School
Plan.
Task 1.3.7 Outreach and Engagement Summary
Memo
Alta will compile an Outreach and Engagement
Summary Memo that will have a description of the
outreach and engagement and stakeholder involvement
in development of the plan, including outreach to
defined underserved communities, number and location
of meetings, number of attendees, interpretation
services provided, and summary of feedback received.
The Outreach and Engagement Summary Memo will
be designed to allow components/feedback to be
easily incorporated into future grant applications and
be structured as a framework to be updated throughout
the course of the project, incorporating input as
engagement tasks are completed.
Task 1.3 Deliverables
• Outreach and Engagement Plan
• Project website, survey, and Memo on Virtual
Engagement
• PowerPoint presentation and photos
• Student Travel Tallies and Parent Surveys Analysis
Memo
• Four (4) virtual SRTS Workshops
• Walk Audit Reports for project schools
• Photos, outreach materials
• “Pop-up workshops” at up to three (3) public events
• Outreach and Engagement Summary Memo, draft and
final
Alta has extensive experience leading walking audits. These audits allow us to closely observe pick-up and drop-off circulation patterns
and gather first-person information about people’s experiences walking and bicycling near school campuses. We will use this
input to identify safety issues and countermeasures to address the problems.

Alta’s Stakeholder Engagement Approach
Our team of professionals are experts at listening
to the public, conveying technical issues in a clear
manner, offering distinct choices and options to
the public, and explaining trade-offs. We use a
variety of innovative techniques, ranging from
online surveys, the use of photo-simulation,
videotaped interviews, field reviews, GIS mapping,
and interactive public workshops—led virtually or
in-person. We make contact with the community
early and build confidence by addressing
specific issues with a documented approach. Our
engagement approach will focus on the following
objectives:
• Leveraging relationships and the team’s existing
community connections to engage the public.
• Creating excitement around the project through
consistent and agile media engagement on both
traditional and digital platforms.
• Communicating in clear and simple language
that is accessible to all levels of English
proficiency and easily translatable to other
languages.
• Prioritizing transportation equity for vulnerable
populations including the young or the elderly,
those with physical disabilities, or with social
constructs such as race, ethnicity, poverty, or
people who speak different languages.
• Keeping stakeholders informed throughout the
process and creating a feedback loop so they
can clearly identify where and how their input
was used.
• Developing a vision for Palm Desert that is
founded in community input and transparent
decision-making.
• Setting the groundwork for implementation by
strengthening connections between the City of
Palm Desert and Stakeholders.

Task 1.4 Advisory Committee
Early stakeholder engagement in the School Plan
development is crucial to building buy-in and hearing
about concerns from the community. Therefore, Alta will
facilitate convening a School Plan Advisory Committee
within a few months of the project kick-off. Alta will be
responsible for creating and disseminating agendas,
outlining the role the committee will serve over the
course of the project, and preparing presentations that
will help committee members make decisions on key
project outcomes, such as project prioritization. We will
also use these meetings as opportunities to provide
SRTS technical assistance related to quick and easily
implementable SRTS strategies that will serve as “early
wins.”
In collaboration with the City, Alta will compile a list
of invitees to participate in a School Plan Advisory
Committee. The list will likely include, but is not limited
to:
• Indian Wells and La Quinta City staff
• Caltrans District 8 staff
• Riverside County Transportation Commission
• Riverside University Health System (Riverside
County’s public health department)
• School and district staff
• Law enforcement
• Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG)
• Community non-profits
Alta will prepare School Plan Advisory Committee
meeting agendas and meeting notes. The School Plan
Advisory Committee will meet a maximum of six times
throughout the project. The School Plan Advisory
Committee will advise the project team on potential
project and programmatic recommendations that align
with their goals.
The School Plan Advisory Committee will also provide
input prior to major engagement activities and will
review key project deliverables prior to posting to the
public or decision-makers.
Task 1.4 Deliverables
• School Plan Advisory Committee invite list
• School Plan Advisory Committee meetings,
presentations, agendas, and notes for up to six (6)
meetings
Task 1.5 Crossing Guard Analysis
Alta understands the importance of school Crossing
Guards to help students safely cross the street at
key locations and remind drivers of the presence
of pedestrians. Alta is a leader in Crossing Guard
assessment, prioritization, and training. Our SRTS
Specialist, Kristin Haukom, is the lead author of
the California School Crossing Guard Training
Guidelines from the California Department of Public
Health (CDPH) and Caltrans. Kristin is also their lead
Crossing Guard instructor, which includes conducting
trainings for Crossing Guards throughout California
and advising CDPH and Caltrans on Crossing Guard
training and assessment procedures. With Kristin’s
expertise, along with technical support from our
accomplished engineers, Alta will help the City develop
a methodology to prioritize the quantity and locations of
Crossing Guards that meets the needs and constraints
of the City and the school district, while also aligning
with the CAMUTCD. Using this methodology, the team
will conduct an in-depth analysis of current locations
of Crossing Guards and make recommendations for
maintaining, changing, or adding Crossing Guard
locations. The team will use the California School
Crossing Guard Training Guidelines to identify and
assess Crossing Guard training needs. The Guidelines
will be referenced and included as a resource in the
Crossing Guard Prioritization Memo.
Task 1.5 Deliverables
• Crossing Guard Prioritization Memo

Task 1.6: Recommendation and Prioritization
Task 1.6.1 Recommendations and Cost Estimates
Alta has over 20 years of experience developing SRTS
recommendations. We will lean on that experience
to integrate the information collected throughout
the project, including existing conditions analyses,
information from the School Plan Advisory Committee
and stakeholder outreach and engagement, to develop
infrastructure improvement recommendations within a
half-mile radius of each project school.
Our team will make feasible, implementable
recommendations that will improve the non-motorized
transportation network for students and parents to walk
and bike to school safely and conveniently.
Recommendations will include preliminary cost
estimates that align with the requirements of the
Caltrans Active Transportation Program and SS4A, so
that the recommendations can be incorporated into
future grant applications for implementation.
Task 1.6.2 Project Prioritization
Understanding the importance of equity and to ensure
that underserved communities are prioritized, we
will create an equity-framed and data-driven Project
Prioritization Methodology that meets the needs of
the City and school districts, as well as yields projects
that are positioned well for SRTS project funds through
Caltrans ATP, or other funding mechanisms such as
City funds. The Project Prioritization Methodology may
also be used to identify “bundled” projects (projects
combined for safety need or to facilitate implementation)
or school-specific projects, depending on input from
stakeholders and engineering judgment.
Alta’s specialized planning and engineering staff
will coordinate to develop a series of on-street and
on-campus infrastructure recommendations. Alta
will assess each school for four different scales of
recommended improvements:
1. Low-cost on-campus improvements that can
enhance safety and SRTS visibility.
2. On-campus improvements that require additional
funding/coordination.
3. Low-cost, on-street changes that require minimal
coordination and are relatively simple to implement.
4. Large scale, on-street changes that require great
coordination, community engagement, or funding.
All infrastructure recommendations will be informed by
existing conditions information, walk audits, stakeholder
input, and professional judgment. This process will
result in infrastructure recommendations that, once
implemented, will support access to safe, convenient,
and healthy modes of transportation for students,
families, and residents.
Task 1.6.3 Suggested Route Maps
Using the School Plan Advisory Committee and
stakeholder input, school recommendations, and
walk audit observations, Alta will develop Suggested
Routes Maps for each project school with suggested
routes for families to walk or bicycle to and from school.
The maps will show suggested walking routes for
elementary schools and suggested walking and biking
(as appropriate) routes for middle and high schools. The
suggested routes-to-school maps will display school
locations, surrounding streets, sidewalks and pathways
within a half-mile from school, as well as other relevant
information such as stop signs, crossing guard locations,
and park and walk locations. Maps will also include
safety tips for drivers and active transportation users.
Alta will solicit feedback on the suggested school
routes maps from City and school staff via email. Once
feedback is received, Alta will finalize the suggested
school routes map. The Suggested Routes Maps will be
available in English and Spanish and will be shared with
the schools digitally.

Task 1.6.4 Programmatic Recommendations
Alta will prepare engagement, equity, encouragement,
education, and evaluation program recommendations
to complement the infrastructure recommendations to
promote a culture that embraces active transportation
throughout Palm Desert. These recommendations may
include, but are not limited to: park and walk drop-off
locations; walking school buses; bicycle trains; walk/
bicycle to school days; and/or in-classroom pedestrian/
bicycle safety and encouragement education. Programs
will be informed through the outreach and engagement
described in Task 1.3 and will address any projects the
City and school district will be implementing that will
affect any recommendations. They will also consider
countermeasures to address behaviors that cause
collisions, based on behavior change theory and the
crash data analyzed in Task 1.2.
Task 1.6 Deliverables
• Infrastructure improvement recommendations, maps,
and cost estimates
• Project Prioritization Methodology and prioritized
network map
• Suggested Routes Maps
• Programmatic recommendations
Task 1.7 Draft and Final Strategy
Alta will prepare a Draft School Plan for City staff review.
The Draft School Plan will be aligned with the Caltrans
Active Transportation Program and SS4A guidance, so
that the projects are “grant ready,” and will include a
summary of actionable next steps for implementing the
project recommendations. The Draft School Plan will
provide a framework and guide for future SRTS efforts.
The Draft School Plan process begins with a detailed
outline. Alta will submit the outline to City staff for
review. The Draft School Plan outline is expected to
include, but not be limited to:
• Introduction
• Project Background and Need
• Summary of Data Collection Activities and Findings
• Summary of Outreach and Engagement Strategies
and Findings
• School-Specific Findings and Recommendations
• Crossing Guards Assessment
• Short-Term/Low-Cost Recommendations and Long-
Term/Higher Cost Recommendations
• Implementation and Next Steps
• Priority Projects by School (including description,
location, cost estimates, and timeline)
• Recommended Next Steps (including Short-Term/
Low-Cost Recommendations, such as policy and
procedure recommendations)
• Potential Funding Sources
Once the City has approved the outline, Alta will
develop the Draft School Plan document in MS Word
and submit it to the City for review. Alta will review one
set of consolidated internally consistent comments in a
track changes MS Word document. Based on City staff
comments on the Draft School Plan, Alta will address
any outstanding issues in order to complete the Final
School Plan.
Task 1.7 Deliverables
• Draft School Plan Outline
• Draft School Plan
• Final School Plan
Task 1.8: City Council Review and Approval
In collaboration with the City, Alta will prepare a
PowerPoint presentation highlighting the data
collection, outreach and engagement, and prioritization
processes used to compile the Final School Plan. Alta
will conduct one (1) presentation to the City Council.
Alta will solicit feedback during this presentation and
respond to questions. This presentation and supporting
documentation will serve as the basis for the City
Council to adopt the Final School Plan.
Per direction from City staff, Alta will provide relevant
content for staff to complete staff reports in advance of
this presentation.

Strategy 2: Safe Routes for Seniors Plan
The Palm Desert Safe Routes for Seniors Plan (Seniors
Plan) will establish innovative and implementable
recommendations for creating safer, more comfortable
transportation options for older adults, including
walking, bicycling, public transit, and other alternatives
for aging drivers. Through targeted, meaningful
community engagement and analysis of existing
conditions, the Seniors Plan will identify barriers that
seniors face when getting to and from their destinations.
Throughout the planning process, key stakeholders and
Palm Desert seniors will have opportunities to share
their concerns, experiences, and ideas for improving
mobility in the city.
The City’s Local Road Safety Plan indicates that 50%
of collisions involve aging drivers (age 65 years or
older), much higher than the State average of 13%.
Given the city’s large population of seniors and retirees,
this Seniors Plan will be key in helping reduce these
collisions and improving safety for all road users
citywide.
Based on our experience working on similar Safe
Routes for Seniors efforts, Alta will create a Seniors Plan
that addresses the following objectives:
• Analyze existing transportation infrastructure and
programs for seniors in Palm Desert
• Engage with a diverse group of stakeholders and
senior community members to shape the Seniors Plan.
• Develop a Seniors Plan that includes both
infrastructure and programmatic recommendations
that are primed for grants and implementation.
The following tasks provide an overview of Alta’s scope
of work for the Seniors Plan. For all deliverables, it is
assumed that the City will circulate drafts to all relevant
departments and agencies for one consolidated and
consistent set of comments.
Task 2.1 Existing Conditions
Alta will begin work on the Seniors Plan by collecting
and analyzing a variety of data.
Task 2.1.1 Plan, Policy, and Program Review
With input from the City, Alta will collect and review
existing plans, policies, and programs related to older
adult mobility in Palm Desert. Existing plans will likely
include, but not be limited to:
• Palm Desert General Plan
• Envision Palm Desert Strategic Plan
• Palm Desert Local Road Safety Plan
• SCAG’s Connect SoCal
• The State’s Master Plan for Aging
Findings will be included in the Existing Conditions
Memorandum.
Task 2.1.2 Data Collection
Alta will compile background and existing conditions
data on seniors (e.g., key destinations, demographics,
health), identify opportunities and constraints as well
as standards by which recommended updates will
be set to guide the preparation of the Seniors Plan,
and include existing land uses, current and projected
housing and land use development, population
characteristics, and travel projections.
At the outset of the project, Alta will prepare a data
request memo identifying key data needs such as
existing and previously proposed infrastructure
projects, current mode share, description of land
use and destinations, existing public transit, existing
wayfinding, and existing non-infrastructure programs.
This memo will be shared with the City Project Manager
and the City will supply available data and documents
that are not publicly available or that the project team
does not have from previous work in Palm Desert. The
findings of these analyses will be compiled into the
Existing Conditions Memorandum.
As part of the Santa Monica Active Aging Program, Alta conducted a transit outing and bicycle outing to promote and demonstrate safe active transportation for seniors.
Page 206 of 413
41ALTA PLANNING + DESIGN, INC.RFP no. 2023-RFP-212 Vision Zero Strategy(Roadway Safety Planning & Public Engagement)
Task 2.1.3 Traffic Counts
Alta will collect traffic counts at three (3) locations in
Palm Desert frequented by senior pedestrians and
bicyclists. Count collection will be scheduled based on
seasonal fluctuations to capture the maximum number
of active trips made by seniors and include at least 12
hours of counts per location on a typical weekday and
a Saturday. Locations will be identified with input from
the City, ideally in senior priority areas that feature key
destinations such as senior centers, senior housing,
and more. Additionally, when relevant, counts data from
Task 1.1.4 (Data Collection for the School Plan) may also
be used to capture senior activity in school areas. Traffic
counts information will be used to assess demand
that can inform areas for improvement and prioritize
potential projects. The findings of the traffic counts will
be provided in the Existing Conditions Memo.
Task 2.1.4 Existing Conditions Maps and
Memorandum
Alta has extensive experience preparing
comprehensive base maps that illustrate important
information in a cohesive and clear manner. We will
prepare base maps for the three (3) areas surrounding
the traffic count locations to show the physical
conditions and travel information such as transit routes,
improvement plans, and key destinations. We will further
compile all materials developed in other tasks into the
Existing Conditions Memorandum.
Task 2.1 Deliverables:
• Existing Conditions Memorandum
• Traffic counts at three (3) locations
• Base maps for three (3) traffic counts areas
Task 2.2 Collisions and Gaps Analysis
Task 2.2.1 Collisions Analysis
Alta will conduct a bicycle and pedestrian collision
analysis using the most currently available 10-year
Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS)
data available. This analysis will include the total number
of collisions by user type (bicyclist or pedestrian),
document the top five intersections with the highest
bicycle and pedestrian collisions, and include the top
five most common collision factor causes. Building
on this, the Alta team will combine the collision data
analysis performed through the Local Road Safety Plan
with the most recent SWITRS data and supplemental
data provided by City staff. The findings will be
summarized and included in the Collisions and Gaps
Analysis Memorandum.
Task 2.2.2 Challenges, Needs, and Gaps Analysis
and Memo
Building on the deliverables from Task 2.1, Alta will
conduct an analysis of infrastructure gaps and needs.
This analysis will quantify factors that impact walking
and bicycling activity, locate network gaps as potential
recommendations (Task 2.5), and identify areas with
specific characteristics. This analysis will consider
roadways and trails within the city. Alta will use data
about existing multimodal infrastructure to develop an
understanding of how well destinations and areas of
demand are connected for seniors who want to walk
and bike for both transportation and recreation. It will
also consider how the City’s local networks connect to
regional networks.
Alta will use these analyses to identify:
• Gaps in existing bicycle networks, intersection
crossing needs, and other conflict points;
• Gaps in pedestrian networks, such as sidewalk gaps,
crossing needs in areas with pedestrian activity or at
crossings of streets and other public rights-of-way;
and
• New trail opportunities along waterways, other
infrastructure rights-of-way, or adjacent to public
street rights-of-way.
Alta will synthesize the gaps and needs into maps,
tables, and narrative that describe these gaps and
needs. Information from the public outreach process will
also be integrated into this process. This gap analysis
will be summarized in the Collisions and Gaps Analysis
Memorandum.
Task 2.2 Deliverables:
• Collisions and Gaps Analysis Memorandum (Draft and
Final)

Task 2.3 Outreach and Engagement
Task 2.3.1 Outreach and Engagement Plan
Alta has extensive experience with outreach and
engagement in Palm Desert and surrounding
communities and understands the importance of
developing materials and conducting activities in
English and Spanish. The Alta team, with input from the
City, will prepare a detailed Outreach and Engagement
Plan that includes community engagement tools to
be used and activities to be held throughout the
development of the Seniors Plan. The Outreach and
Engagement Plan will consist of a strategy to fully
engage underserved communities, including outreach
in multiple languages and means to reach groups
that may not participate in traditional planning events.
The Plan will also include key stakeholders and target
audiences, anticipated outcomes, and proposed
engagement strategy timelines.
Task 2.3.2 Engagement Tools
The Alta team will develop written content for a Seniors
Plan project webpage on the City’s website and social
media platforms. The purpose of this content will be to
promote outreach and education materials, surveys,
workshops, walk audits, the Draft Seniors Plan, and
eventually the Final Seniors Plan.
The website will also allow stakeholders to submit
feedback through a community survey and an online
mapping tool. Alta will leverage our experience working
on other Safe Routes for Seniors projects to develop
a survey that asks about senior needs, priorities, and
ideas for improving mobility and transportation in Palm
Desert. The survey will be available in English and
Spanish, both on the webpage and in paper format.
Surveys may be distributed at key destinations and
with help from key partners, such as The Joslyn Center.
Additionally, Alta will develop an online mapping tool,
to be embedded on or linked to on the webpage,
that allows community members and stakeholders to
identify barriers and ideas for improvements in Palm
Desert. Participants will be able to leave comments,
draw in preferred routes, and more.
Task 2.3.3 Community Workshops
Alta will conduct up to four (4) in-person and virtual
workshops for seniors and other Seniors Plan
stakeholders. The purpose of the workshops will be
to introduce the Seniors Plan project, gather input on
barriers and opportunities for improvements, keep
people informed about the planning process, and later
in the project, confirm that recommendations address
stakeholder concerns and gap/safety issues. The
COVID-19 pandemic taught us that virtual meetings,
broadcasted through various platforms, are the best
way to engage with project stakeholders, including
those who are typically unable to attend community
events due to lack of transportation, work conflicts, or
language barriers. However, we also know, through our
experience working on related Safe Routes for Seniors
projects, that many older adults face technological
barriers and prefer in-person engagement. With that
said, we propose that two (2) of the workshops be held
in-person and two (2) be held virtually to reach a wider
audience.
The structure of the workshops will likely include a brief
presentation on the project background, goals, and
planning process, and stations or breakout rooms where
participants can learn more about specific Seniors Plan
components, such as existing conditions. All workshops
will be conducted in English with Spanish and sign
language interpretation will be available if needed.
Alta assisted the City of Santa Monica with the development of their website for their Active Aging Pilot Program utilizing the
City’s website to communicate updates on the pilot and ways the community could participate.

43ALTA PLANNING + DESIGN, INC.RFP no. 2023-RFP-212 Vision Zero Strategy(Roadway Safety Planning & Public Engagement)
Task 2.3.4 Senior Walk Audits
The Alta team will lead three (3) walk audits of each of
the senior areas identified in Task 2.1.3 and Task 2.1.4.
Walk audit participants will include senior residents,
partners, City staff, and other key stakeholders. The
purpose of these walk audits is to observe conditions
and behaviors and identify challenges or impediments
that currently limit walking, biking, and taking public
transit. The walk audits will be an opportunity to verify
existing conditions and will be supported by Spanish-
speaking staff when appropriate.
In addition to the in-person walk audits, the Alta team
will provide community members who are unable to
participate in the walk audit with another way to give
input, such as through the mapping tool described in
Task 2.3.2. The findings from each walk audit, including
feedback and photos, will be incorporated into a Walk
Audit Report.
Task 2.3.5 Pop-Up Workshops
The Alta team knows the importance of meeting people
where they are, particularly to reach those seniors who
may not typically attend City events and meetings.
Because of this, we will conduct “pop-up workshops” at
up to three (3) public events, such as farmer’s markets,
community/resource fairs, or local parks, to inform and
solicit feedback from the community on the Seniors
Plan.
Task 2.3.6 Outreach and Engagement Summary
Memorandum
Alta will develop an Outreach and Engagement
Summary Memorandum that will have a description
of stakeholder involvement in development of the
plan, including outreach to defined underserved
communities, number and location of meetings,
number of attendees, translation services provided,
and summary of feedback received. The Outreach
and Engagement Summary Memorandum will be
designed to allow components/feedback to be easily
incorporated into future grant applications and be
structured as a framework to be updated throughout
the course of the project, incorporating input as
engagement tasks are completed. Findings from the
memo will feed directly into recommendations and
prioritization (Task 2.5).
Task 2.3 Deliverables:
• Outreach and Engagement Plan
• Project website
• Survey
• Virtual Engagement Memorandum
• PowerPoint presentation and photos
• Four (4) Senior Workshops
• Walk Audit Reports
• Photos
• Outreach materials
• “Pop-up workshops” at up to three (3) public events
In Santa Monica, Alta staff facilitated a series of walk audits with senior residents to get input on challenges and barriers to walking,
biking, and taking transit in the city.
As part of the Santa Monica Active Aging Pilot Program, Alta staff
conducted a series of pop-up tabling events at key destinations for seniors, such as the Santa Monica Public Library, WISE, and Healthy
Aging senior center.

44ALTA PLANNING + DESIGN, INC.RFP no. 2023-RFP-212 Vision Zero Strategy(Roadway Safety Planning & Public Engagement)
Task 2.4 Advisory Committee
Stakeholder engagement early in the Seniors Plan
development is crucial to building buy-in and hearing
about concerns from the senior community. Therefore,
the Alta team will convene a Safe Routes for Seniors
Advisory Committee within a few months of the project
kick-off. Alta will be responsible for creating and
disseminating agendas, outlining the role the committee
will serve over the course of the project, and preparing
presentations that will help committee members make
decisions on key project outcomes, such as project
prioritization.
In collaboration with the City, we will compile a list
of invitees to participate in the Advisory Committee.
The list will likely include, but is not limited to,
representatives from:
• City staff, such as from Public Works and Housing
• Caltrans District 8 staff
• Riverside County Transportation Commission
• Riverside University Health System (Riverside
County’s public health department)
• Coachella Valley Association of Governments
• Local community-based organizations, such as The
Joslyn Center
• Senior residents of Palm Desert
• SunLine Transit Agency
• Law enforcement
Alta will prepare Safe Routes for Seniors Advisory
Committee meeting agendas and meeting notes. The
Advisory Committee will meet virtually a maximum of
six (6) times throughout the project and will advise the
project team on potential projects and programmatic
recommendations that align with their goals. The
Advisory Committee will also provide input prior to
major engagement activities and will review key project
deliverables prior to sharing them with the public or
decision-makers.
Task 2.4 Deliverables
• Safe Routes for Seniors Advisory Committee invite list
• Safe Routes for Seniors Advisory Committee
meetings, presentations, agendas, and notes for up to
six (6) virtual meetings
Task 2.5 Recommendation and Prioritization
Task 2.5.1 Recommendations and Cost Estimates
Building on the existing conditions analyses, feedback
from the Safe Routes for Seniors Advisory Committee,
and input from extensive stakeholder engagement,
Alta will develop infrastructure recommendations within
each area identified for Task 2.1.3 (Traffic Counts) and
2.1.4 (Existing Conditions Maps and Memorandum).
Our team will make feasible, implementable
recommendations that will improve the existing active
transportation network for seniors to walk, bike, and
take transit to their destinations safely and conveniently.
Recommendations will be provided in project lists
(tables) and shown in maps.
All infrastructure recommendations will be informed
by existing condition data, walk audits, stakeholder
input, and Alta’s professional expertise. The result
of will be infrastructure recommendations that, once
implemented, will support access to safe, convenient,
and healthy modes of transportation for students,
families, and residents. Recommendations will
include preliminary cost estimates that align with the
requirements of the Caltrans Active Transportation
Program and Safe Streets for All, so that the
recommendations can be easily incorporated into future
grant applications for implementation.
Older adults in Santa Monica were assisted with reading transit maps, using transit passes, planning trips, and more during group
outings over the course of the Santa Monica Active Aging Program.

Task 2.5.2 Project Prioritization
Understanding the importance of equity and to ensure
that underserved communities are prioritized, the team
will create an equity-framed and data-driven project
prioritization methodology that meets the needs of the
City. The methodology may include, but not be limited
to, the following criteria:
• Safety
• Connectivity
• Gap Closure
• Equity
• Feasibility
• Cost
The list of prioritized projects will serve as a guide for
the City when implementing improvements in future
years. This list will yield projects that are positioned
well for funding through Caltrans ATP and other funding
mechanisms. The project prioritization methodology
may also be used to identify “bundled” projects
(projects combined for safety need or to facilitate
implementation), depending on input from stakeholders
and engineering judgment.
Task 2.5.3 Suggested Route Maps
Using the Safe Routes for Seniors Advisory Committee
and stakeholder input, infrastructure recommendations,
and walk audit observations, Alta will develop
Suggested Routes Maps for the senior areas identified
in Task 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 to help seniors more easily and
safely walk, bicycle, and take transit throughout the
City. The Suggested Routes Maps will display key
destinations like libraries, parks, and pharmacies;
streets, sidewalks, and pathways; transit routes; existing
and proposed bikeways; and more. Maps will also
include safety tips for aging drivers and senior active
transportation users.
Alta will solicit feedback on the Suggested Routes Maps
from City and Advisory Committee before finalizing the
maps. The Suggested Routes Maps will be available in
English and Spanish and will be shared with the public
both digitally and in paper copies. Alta assumes that the
City will handle printing of the maps.
Task 2.5.4 Programmatic Recommendations
Alta will prepare engagement, equity, encouragement,
education, and evaluation program recommendations
to complement the infrastructure recommendations
and promote a culture that embraces active
transportation throughout Palm Desert. Programmatic
recommendations will be informed through the outreach
and engagement described in Task 2.3 and may include
but are not limited to:
• Education for aging drivers
• Pedestrian/bicycle/transit safety classes
• Transportation technology classes (e.g., trip planning)
• Group walks, bike rides, and transit outings
• Direct support programs
• Senior mobility resources fair
Task 2.5 Deliverables
• Infrastructure improvement recommendations, maps,
and cost estimates
• Project Prioritization Methodology and prioritized
network map
• Suggested Routes Maps
• Programmatic recommendations
Alta developed a Walk, Bike, & Transit map tailored to Santa
Monica seniors, which included suggested routes, safety tips, and other resources.

Task 2.6 Draft and Final Strategy
Based on Tasks 2.1 through 2.5, Alta will prepare a Draft
Seniors Plan for City staff review. The Draft Seniors
Plan will be aligned with Caltrans Active Transportation
Program and SS4A requirements and will include a
summary of actionable next steps for implementation.
The Draft Seniors Plan will provide a framework and
guide for future Safe Routes for Seniors efforts.
The Draft Seniors Plan process will begin with a
detailed outline, to be submitted to City staff for review,
expected to include but not limited to:
• Project Background and Need
• Summary of Data Collection Activities and Findings
• Summary of Outreach and Engagement Strategies
and Findings
• Infrastructure and Programmatic Recommendations
• Short-Term/Low-Cost Recommendations and Long-
Term/Higher Cost Recommendations
• Priority Projects (including description, location, cost
estimates, and timeline)
• Implementation and Next Steps, including Potential
Funding Sources
Once the City has approved the outline, Alta will
develop the Draft Seniors Plan and submit it to the
City for review in MS Word. Alta will review one set
of consolidated and consistent comments using
track changes and commenting in MS Word. Once
these revisions are received, Alta will address any
outstanding issues and develop a Public Draft Seniors
Plan in Adobe InDesign. The Public Draft will be
shared with community members and stakeholders
through the project webpage and at outreach events,
and it will be shared with the Safe Routes for Seniors
Advisory Committee. Based on input received through
engagement and the Advisory Committee, Alta will
update and export a Final Seniors Plan.
Task 2.6 Deliverables
• Draft Seniors Plan
• Public Draft Seniors Plan
• Final Seniors Plan
Task 2.7 City Council Review and Approval
In collaboration with City staff, Alta will prepare
a PowerPoint presentation highlighting the data
collection, outreach and engagement, and prioritization
processes used to compile the Final Seniors Plan. Alta
will conduct one (1) presentation to the Palm Desert City
Council. Alta will solicit feedback on the Plan during this
presentation and respond to any questions from Council
Members. This presentation will serve as the basis
for the City Council to adopt the Final Seniors Plan.
Per direction from City staff, Alta will provide relevant
content for staff to complete staff reports in advance
of this presentation. Following adoption of the Plan, a
resolution will be added to the Final Seniors Plan.
Task 2.7 Deliverables
• Presentation
• City Council adoption of the Final Seniors Plan
Alta’s dynamic in-house graphic design team creates plan documents that are easy-to-read and visually engaging. Alta’s final
plan documents are functional guidebooks for implementation with user-friendly graphics.

Strategy 3: Public Engagement and Activation
As creative partners with extensive experience in
the City of Palm Desert, Idea Peddler understands
and appreciates the breadth of Palm Desert’s unique
audiences. With full-time and seasonal residents,
visitors old and new, Idea Peddler recognizes that to
change the culture of driving, walking, and biking for
better safety, they will need to develop an audience-
centered approach.
Idea Peddler’s creative approach and media savvy
will work in tandem with Alta’s traffic safety expertise
to build and deliver a campaign that both resonates
with community members and is backed by research
and best practices. Alta’s Programs Team, which is
dedicated to transportation behavior change and traffic
safety campaigns, will support Idea Peddler throughout
Strategy 3, bringing together the best of both worlds.
Tapping into the successful approaches that created
the award winning UNITE Palm Desert campaign,
Idea Peddler, in partnership with the City and Alta, will
create a campaign that is deeply rooted in community,
informed by data, and ultimately results in tangible
outcomes to improve safe active transportation in Palm
Desert.
Task 3.1 Campaign Goals and Objectives
The City of Palm Desert is not just a geographic
location; it’s a tapestry of diverse lifestyles, cultures, and
experiences. Its streets see the hustle of residents, the
leisurely pace of vacationers, and the curiosity of first-
time visitors. Just as each group interacts with the city
differently, their perception, habits, and understanding
of the infrastructure are unique. This context forms the
foundation of our approach.
To create a memorable and effective campaign aimed
at promoting safe and comfortable active transportation
within Palm Desert, the approach will focus on
raising awareness, educating residents and visitors,
and encouraging the use of active transportation
infrastructure. Idea Peddler will launch a Discovery
Meeting with key City staff and stakeholders to
ensure alignment and synchronicity from inception to
execution. The agenda for this meeting will including
the following, resulting in a clear list of objectives,
opportunities, and a roadmap to the next steps:
• Initial presentation: An overview of existing active
transportation campaigns regionally and globally,
showcasing successes and lessons learned.
• Open dialogue: City staff to share their vision,
concerns, expectations, and any preliminary data.
• Stakeholder perspective: Invite a few representatives
from different demographics (full- and part-time
residents, a regular visitor) for a quick panel
discussion. Their insights will offer a preview of the
larger audience sentiment.
Moreover, we propose that a strong creative brief
(the desired deliverable for this task) include insights
from this diverse mix of residents and visitors. It is
important that we hear directly from the audience about
their current awareness, perceptions and barriers to
walking and bicycling in Palm Desert. With this first-
hand research, we will be prepared with the insights to
create an impactful and actionable Creative Brief. Our
approach for gathering these insights will include:
• Surveys: Digital surveys targeting different
demographic segments. Questions gauge their
current active transportation habits, awareness of
existing active transportation infrastructure, safety
concerns, and barriers to active transportation.
• Best Practices Collaboration: Working in collaboration
with Alta, we’ll have a workshop to dive into the
success and barriers to consumer behaviors around
safe biking in Palm Desert.
• Data Driven: Using data Alta has compiled for Safe
Routes plans, we will consider factors limiting use of
active transportation in Palm Desert.
As part of the UNITE Palm Desert campaign, Idea Peddler
partnered with a local artist to create a beautiful mural to launch
the campaign.
Page 213 of 413
48ALTA PLANNING + DESIGN, INC.RFP no. 2023-RFP-212 Vision Zero Strategy(Roadway Safety Planning & Public Engagement)
Using insights from the Discovery Meeting and
Consumer Insight Mining, we’ll draft a Creative Brief.
This document will serve as the blueprint for the entire
campaign. It will outline:
• Key insights about Palm Desert’s demographics and
active transportation characteristics.
• Main objectives of the campaign, both qualitative (e.g.,
change in perception or awareness) and quantitative
(e.g., increase in bike and walk counts by a given
percentage).
• Targeted strategies for each demographic (age,
house-hold income, etc.) and audience (residents,
visitors, part-time residents, etc.) ensuring each
message is tailored and relevant.
• Creative guidelines to maintain consistency and
resonance in all campaign materials.
City staff will have an opportunity to provide feedback
and revisions. We believe in a collaborative approach,
ensuring all voices are heard and incorporated. The
final draft of the Creative Brief Memorandum will
incorporate City staff feedback and be enriched with
insights directly from Palm Desert’s road users, ready to
guide a tailored, effective, and memorable Vision Zero
Campaign for the city.
Task 3.1 Deliverables
• Creative Brief Memorandum
Task 3.2 Ideation and Concept Development
To appeal to the City’s unique audiences, we will
develop a unifying voice that echoes the aspirations of
your community. Our approach to concept development
seeks to marry the ethos of Palm Desert with industry
best practices in a truly local campaign. Not only will we
aim to increase the awareness and education of where
and how to use the active transportation network in and
around Palm Desert, we will inspire behavior change
to promote a more safe and sustainable transportation
system. Our steps to success include:
• Organizing Community Listening Sessions: Using
workshops, surveys, or even digital engagement
platforms building on public and stakeholder
engagement activities conducted in Task 3.1. These
listening sessions with local residents will amplify
our knowledge of barriers, opportunities, and
perspectives related to active transportation in the
City and region, providing foundational knowledge for
the creative concepts we will develop in this task.
• Trend Analysis and Historic Immersion: We will
delve into current global and local advertising trends,
ensuring our campaign feels fresh and relevant. This
utilizes macro and micro trends both within the active
transportation safety sector as well as campaigns
rooted in similar ideas around engagement, health,
sustainability and connection. Moreover, we will
reflect on past campaigns, successes, and challenges
specific to Palm Desert. This will ensure continuity and
avoid redundancies. Given our breadth of work for
Palm Desert over the past 5 years, we have a trove of
information and assets to pull from to help continue
the unified look and feel for Palm Desert promotional
assets. This consistency will also be integral to
reaching each of the respective audiences of Palm
Desert and result in an expansive understanding of
what works and what does not.
Page 214 of 413
49ALTA PLANNING + DESIGN, INC.RFP no. 2023-RFP-212 Vision Zero Strategy(Roadway Safety Planning & Public Engagement)
• Concept Development: Using insights from
community interactions, trend analysis, and historic
immersion, our creative team will craft three
conceptual strategic approaches. These approaches
range from consumer challenges to benefit-focused
initiatives and potentially into aspirational efforts. Each
concept territory will encompass:
»Strategic Communication Anchor: The core
message that holds the campaign together. What
problem does it solve? What message does it
deliver? What is the core reason for being for the
campaign?
»Theme: The overarching narrative that weaves
various campaign elements coherently. This is
a moniker that holds the idea together for easy
understanding and reference.
»Visual Language: Color schemes, designs,
photographic styles, and iconographies that
resonate with Palm Desert’s spirit. What does it
borrow from? What is its antithesis? Where does
it intersect and digress from existing Palm Desert
work?
»Copy Treatment: The language, tone, and style
of communication. This may involve personifying
the brand to help understand the communication
style as though the campaign were a person.
»Mood Boards: A visual representation that
captures the essence of each theme. This may
include font, colors, existing campaigns in the
same sector or for the city itself or aspirational
tones and campaigns from other sectors.
These steps will result in the development of three
(3) robust and diverse creative approaches that we
will present to City staff. Our presentation will seek
to engage City staff in a feedback loop, and refining
concepts accordingly. Once a final concept is zeroed
in on, we will delve deeper into its execution strategy,
crafting scripts, planning shoots, and laying out a
roll-out plan. The ultimate outcome of this task will
be a chosen creative concept that feels right for Palm
Desert, refined and ready for execution. In the Creative
Concepts Memorandum, we will detail this chosen
concept, its various elements, execution strategy, and
showcasing how it will come alive in the streets of Palm
Desert, ensuring residents feel a sense of ownership
and pride every time they encounter it.
Task 3.2 Deliverables
• Finalized Creative Concepts Memorandum
Task 3.3 Content Creation
Palm Desert is not just a city; it’s a place of significance
to a range of unique audiences. Translating this into
effective and engaging content requires both strategic
foresight and creative brilliance. Drawing from our rich
history of partnering with Palm Desert, we are poised to
ensure the success of the City’s Vision Zero campaign.
Our content development process will include:
• Expertise and Collaboration: The campaign and
content creation will benefit from Alta’s unique subject
matter expertise in transportation behavior change
and more than a decade of experience implementing
traffic safety campaigns for public agency clients.
• Varied Mediums: We will develop a range of content
from striking visuals, captivating copy, to immersive
videos. Our in-house team will seamlessly produce
the entire content spectrum, ensuring consistency
in quality and brand voice across all channels. Our
creativity will be boundless across media; starting
with a video-first approach but creating a container
that can be translated to everything from social media
to city murals and even wayfinding signage and/or
murals.
• Asset Reuse and Reiteration: With an expansive
library from our prior campaigns, we are well-
equipped to leverage the existing resources and
create fresh content that feels familiar yet novel.

50ALTA PLANNING + DESIGN, INC.RFP no. 2023-RFP-212 Vision Zero Strategy(Roadway Safety Planning & Public Engagement)
Our content development will also be efficient,
adaptable, diverse, and inclusive, leveraging the
following strategies:
• Hero Shoots: We are experts at conducting efficient,
high-impact photoshoots that yield a multitude
of adaptable content. By planning meticulously,
we will capture diverse scenes in concise shoot
periods, maximizing resource utilization. During a
2-3 day shoot, our team of still photographers and
videographers will work with existing infrastructure
and local talent to shoot content that is both timely
and timeless.
• Adaptability: The content will be designed for easy
adaptation, ensuring a long shelf-life and versatility to
meet emerging needs or channels as the campaign
progresses. In post-production, we will utilize our
in-house animators and designers to develop 3D
animation and environment rendering, or to draw
attention to important and relevant information such
as wayfinding and signage.
• Diversity and Inclusivity: To ensure our campaign is
for the community and by the community, we will need
to create a campaign where they can see themselves.
To reflect the broad range of appearances and
abilities that make up Palm Desert, and secure
resident enthusiasm and engagement, it is imperative
that our campaign is representative. To enhance
accessibility, we will utilize high-contrast colors and
larger fonts for readability, and incorporate captions
in videos to accommodate deaf and hard-of-hearing
individuals. Additionally, we’ll ensure that all digital
platforms are compatible with assistive technologies
like screen readers. Alt-text will be provided for all
images, ensuring that visually impaired users receive
comprehensive information. We will also ensure
content is crafted in multiple languages with special
emphasis on Spanish to resonate with a broader
audience. Additionally, visual design elements will
capture the rich tapestry of cultures, histories, and
groups living in the city to ensure every Palm Desert
resident sees a reflection of themselves in our
campaign.
Additionally, our content creation will include targeted
outreach and multi-platform integration strategies to
maximize the campaign’s reach and impact:
• Audience Segmentation: Drawing from our qualitative
listening sessions, we will tailor our content strategy
to address the specific needs, preferences, and pain
points of distinct audience segments of all ages. Used
in a number of ways, the city’s active transportation
network will be promoted in a variety of edits, each
cut to support and represent the different segments
and use cases in Palm Desert’s audience.
• Engagement Channels: Recognizing that each
demographic interacts differently, we’ll deploy multi-
channel strategies across a spectrum from digital to
grassroots. Digital might include social and CTV for
digital natives while grassroots may tap into influential
locals like city officials, business owners, and various
community leaders. Traditional media may leverage
out-of-home to reach visitors and residents alike
or borrow local authenticity and community from
beloved radio DJs or print columnists. Opportunities
may exist for Alta and/or media partners to participate
in or lead culturally resonant events that create buzz
and community spirit such as Farmer’s Markets or
other community events at Civic Center Park or even
on CV Link itself.
• Digital Dominance: In tandem with other promotional
efforts, developing a strong online presence through
strategically placed digital video ads and vibrant
social media content will ensure Palm Desert’s
message reverberates in every digital corner.
Every content piece will be submitted to City staff for
review to ensure the content remains aligned with the
City’s vision and resonates with its inhabitants. The
Campaign Content Memorandum produced as the
product of this collaborative process will serve as a
comprehensive guide detailing major content pieces
created for the campaign. From high-resolution visuals,
copy drafts, video links, to a strategic recommendation
of intended platforms and usage, this document will be
the touchstone for all campaign-related content.

Palm Desert Media Market Estimates
We have developed the following hard cost media estimates and metrics for the Palm Desert market.
This budget will include a minimum of $185,000 for media buys supporting at least 8 months of working
media including a range of channels such as those listed below. Should the City wish to forego in-person
engagements conducted by Alta in the Campaign Implementation phase (Task 5), we can allocate an
additional $15,000 to these media buys. We will work closely with the City in the process of developing Task
3.2 and Task 3.3 memos to select the appropriate channels to maximize the campaign’s reach and impact.

Task 3.4 Campaign Workflow
Our team takes project delivery and client satisfaction
seriously. We pride ourselves on clear communication,
professionalism, and smart work. We are committed
to on-time performance. Idea Peddler will coordinate
closely with Alta’s PM throughout the duration of the
project to ensure our well-ordered and integrated
workflow that builds upon and leverages our team’s
respective strengths to produce synergies and amplify
impacts.
Drawing upon our team’s wealth of effective campaign
and project delivery experience, we understand that
the success of any campaign is not just rooted in
the creativity of its content but in the precision of its
execution. Therefore, the Campaign Workflow is not just
a roadmap but a blueprint for our shared success.
Idea Peddler and Alta will employ some of the following
time-tested methods and strategies to ensure a well-
ordered, transparent, and accountable campaign
workflow with a steady cadence of milestones:
Scheduling Strategies:
• Initiation: Each task will have a firm start date following
approvals.
• Phased Campaigns: Our work will be structured in
sprints, with each phase focusing on a different facet
of the campaign, ensuring consistent engagement
and maximum impact.
• Rolling Launch: When appropriate we will test
campaign elements in limited capacities to refine
before the primary launch.
• Periodic Milestones: Such as major community
events, influencer partnerships, or any notable city
celebrations will be tracked to leverage and dovetail
with our campaign.
• Buffer Periods: These will be allocated for both
creation and review, ensuring content is always top-
notch and in line with the City’s vision while avoiding
schedule slippage.
• Detailed Gantt Chart: We will use our cloud-based
tools to develop an interactive Gantt chart assigning
responsibilities, deadlines, and dependencies
for every task, from ideation, content creation, to
community engagement events. The Gantt chart will
be aligned with our multi-channel approach detailing
how each content piece will be leveraged, from
Facebook posts to city-wide banners and community
events.
• Staggered Rollouts: Will be used to space content
releases and keep the campaign fresh and continually
in the audience’s mind.
• Sequential Workflow: Highlighting tasks that are
contingent on prior tasks’ completion ensures smooth
transitions and helps avoid bottlenecks.
• Periodic Updates: Our Gantt chart will be periodically
updated to reflect approved schedule changes and/
or critical path impacts beyond the project team’s
control. This schedule will be integrated with the
overall project schedule and inform regular project
reporting to City staff.
Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting Strategies:
• Clear Roles: Every team member from Idea Peddler
and Alta will know their precise role, fostering
accountability.
• Feedback Loops: We will schedule quick feedback
sessions after major campaign milestones to enable
continuous improvement.
• Regular Dashboards: We will develop dashboards for
use in the implementation phase that provide a visual
representation of the campaign’s impact, from reach
to engagement, shared periodically.
This collection of strategies will feed into the Campaign
Workflow Memorandum, which will be a well-crafted
document detailing all aspects of the workflow.
Accompanied by a visual timeline, this memorandum
will serve as the shared reference point for both Idea
Peddler and the City of Palm Desert, ensuring alignment
at every step.

Task 3.5 Campaign Implementation
The Alta team’s strength lies not just in crafting strategic
campaigns, but in ensuring their quality execution. In
addition to delivering the best in media, our team will
activate the campaign by reaching residents where
they live and play to send the messages home and
connect on a deeper, more personal level. With input
from stakeholders and the City, we will identify up to 4
events and/or community hubs for campaign activation.
Example event venues include the Farmers Market,
Community Center, Joslyn Center, Concerts in the Park,
or other frequented and trusted locations where we
can talk with residents about active transportation and
safety.
We want to go beyond reaching the self-selected
community members who might attend a workshop
or webinar to engage with the broader community
who may not seek out information on their own. At
these events or pop-ups, the Alta Team will invite
engagement through interactive activities with a focus
on active transportation and safety: this could include
anything from field day games to trivia with prizes to a
community art project, all designed with the intention
of educating, building community norms, and ultimately
changing transportation culture. From the outset the
City of Palm Desert can expect the following from Idea
Peddler and Alta’s engagement and activation efforts:
• Campaign Oversight: Our dedicated team ensures
every component aligns with the strategic vision.
We believe in the details and ensure nothing is
overlooked.
• Content Coordination: Our in-house content creators
and coordinators will ensure a consistent narrative
across all platforms, enhancing the City’s brand
presence.
• Quality Control: The assurance of quality is not just a
line item for us; it is an ethos. Every piece of content
undergoes rigorous checks for consistency, tone, and
alignment with campaign objectives.
• Channel Management: With expertise in multi-channel
campaigns, we ensure that the right content reaches
the right audience on the right platform. In fact, our
robust in-house media capabilities have historically
saved Palm Desert thousands of dollars in past
campaigns from limiting wasted impressions in bot
or other irrelevant traffic, as well as improved digital
programmatic bidding prices.
• Performance Monitoring and Real Time Engagement:
Using customized and on-demand reporting tools, we
track the campaign’s pulse in real-time, ensuring we’re
always in tune with its health and effectiveness. We
will make our client-facing dashboard readily available
for maximum transparency. This dashboard provides
reporting on a wide variety of trends and metrics
such as ranking of ad performance, impressions, click
through rates, comments, shares, reactions, video thru
play, and costs across a multitude of digital channels.
• Adaptation to Trends: In the ever-evolving digital
landscape, we stay ahead of the curve, tweaking
the campaign to harness emerging trends and
opportunities. In collaboration with Alta, we’ll continue
to ingest and deploy campaign optimizations and
trends based on both local and global findings as it
relates to this campaign as well as the Vision Zero
Strategy overall.

Our collective efforts in Task 3.5 will culminate in a
far-reaching yet targeted and tailored campaign that
catalyzes a cultural shift in Palm Desert’s transportation
landscape bringing awareness to the costs of the status
quo and the appeals of alternatives. We will document
the campaign’s planned channels, spend, tactics,
partners and estimated performance benchmarks in the
Campaign Implementation Memorandum that will serve
as the deliverable for this task.
Task 3.5 Deliverables
• Campaign Implementation Memorandum
Task 3.6: Performance Evaluation
Success isn’t linear, and neither is changing the culture
of transportation in Palm Desert. To deliver on the city’s
goals to make an immediate and memorable impact
on the community safely and comfortably using current
active transportation infrastructure, we must measure
the reach and impact of our campaign to understand its
effectiveness and contributions to the City’s task- and
project-level goals, objectives, and metrics, including
those established in collaboration with the City and
documented in earlier meetings and memoranda. This
evaluation will also guide campaign refinements in real-
time and serve as a guidepost for future campaigns in
the post-implementation phase.
Our Performance Evaluation strategies will include:
• Data Collection: Leveraging the best available digital
tracking tools, we’ll tag and capture all data points
from web to creative to understand the deepest
levels of every interaction, ensuring a comprehensive
understanding of audience behavior and creative
impact.
• Conversion Analysis: Beyond engagements, we focus
on tangible results, understanding how interactions
translate to real-world outcomes. We’ll incorporate a
post-campaign qualitative analysis to understand if we
achieved our goals and objectives outlined in the first
Task.
• Channel Effectiveness: Using granular data, we
identify the most effective channels, ensuring better
ROI in subsequent phases.
• Content Assessment: Through a combination
of sources including web, media and audience
engagement, we determine which content pieces
resonated the most.
• Lessons Learned: Every campaign is a treasure trove
of insights. We ensure every challenge and success
is documented, refining our strategy for subsequent
campaigns. Be it creative learnings, media channel, or
audiences, we are always crafting campaign reporting
that illuminates insights for future efforts.
• Reporting: We will create a detailed, yet digestible
Campaign Performance Evaluation Memorandum,
encapsulating the campaign’s journey from inception
to conclusion.
• Client Presentation: We believe in transparent, candid
conversations. Our post-campaign presentation to
the City will not just highlight successes, but also offer
insights into challenges and a roadmap for the future
helping chart next steps to achieving Vision Zero.
Task 3.6 Deliverables
• Campaign Performance Evaluation - Memorandum
• Campaign Performance Evaluation - Presentation

Strategy 4 Investment Strategy
Alta understands the critical importance of identifying
and prioritizing bicycle and pedestrian projects
that meet the City’s strategic objectives, include
broad support, are feasible, and are primed to win
discretionary funding opportunities such as those
available through USDOT’s SS4A Program and Caltrans‘
Active Transportation Program. Our work in Strategy
4 will focus on (1) consolidating active transportation
projects in existing plans and new ones from the School
and Seniors plans (2) developing a robust and equitable
project prioritization process informed by stakeholders
and grant criteria and (3) applying this process to
produce an Investment Strategy with at least $10 million
in improvements for the City Council’s ultimate approval
including accompanying project descriptions, cost
estimates, and preliminary concept maps for use in
future grant applications.
Task 4.1 Review and Consolidate Planning Documents
In this task the Alta team will review city, regional,
and state planning documents to identify active
transportation projects that are outstanding. In addition
to documents listed in the RFP, covering plans and
studies from the City and CVAG, our review will include
an exhaustive search of relevant documents such as:
• Caltrans District 8 Active Transportation Plan (2022)
• Riverside County Transportation Commission’s (RCTC)
Long Range Transportation Study (2019)
• RCTC Inland Empire Comprehensive Multimodal
Corridor Plan (2022 Update)
• Southern California Association of Government’s
Connect SoCal 2024 (plan due for public review and
comment in fall 2023)
Findings from this review will be combined in a
spreadsheet with newly produced recommendations
from the School and Seniors plans. As available,
each recommendation will be sorted by a variety of
attributes such as referenced planning document,
mode (ped, bike or both), facility type, project extent,
roadway segment and jurisdiction, estimated cost,
project development phase, HIN alignment, application
of Crash Modification Factors (CMF), and equity (e.g.,
whether the project is located in an area of Palm
Desert experiencing elevated levels of housing burden,
linguistic isolation, poverty, and/or environmental
burden). We will also seek to identify overlaps between
recommendations and whether such recommendations
were developed independently or through earlier
consolidation efforts. Attributes that support
assessment of feasibility and connectivity may also be
included.
This key information will be selected and refined
in close consultation with City staff. We propose to
conduct this review process concurrent with the
selection of project prioritization criteria in Task 4.2
(discussed in detail below) to maximize the efficiency
of information gathering. Additionally, we propose
to complete the High Injury Network (HIN) and
countermeasure analyses discussed in Task 5.1 (Identify
and Develop Content for Dashboard and Monitoring
Tool) prior to initiating our review and consolidation
process in Task 4.1. This step will allow our review to be
informed by these important analytical findings that may
have significant bearing on project prioritization.
Task 4.1 Deliverables
• Capital Project Spreadsheet (without prioritization
Alta’s prioritization process will help to ensure capital improvements
submitted for grant funding include broad support, are feasible, and are primed to win discretionary funding opportunities
Page 221 of 413
56ALTA PLANNING + DESIGN, INC.RFP no. 2023-RFP-212 Vision Zero Strategy(Roadway Safety Planning & Public Engagement)
Task 4.2 Prioritize Capital Projects
Prioritization balances Palm Desert’s values and grant
funding criteria with available data and tradeoffs to
understand which projects will provide the greatest
return on investment. Our criteria development process
will be aligned with the review and consolidation
process discussed in Task 4.1 and be informed by the
systemic safety analyses conducted in Task 5.1. It will
carefully consider community values, feasibility, and
fundability. Like the prioritization processes used in the
School and Seniors plans, our selection of metrics and
methods will be informed by equity and work to ensure
the benefit of underserved communities and the City as
a whole.
Implementation grant selection criteria in the FY23
SS4A NOFO included five merit criteria: #1 Safety
Impact; #2 Equity, Engagement, and Collaboration;
#3 Effective Practices and Strategies; #4 Other DOT
Strategic Goals; and #5 Supplemental Planning and
Demonstration Activities. These will be carefully
reviewed to inform criteria selection in our process and
to develop a streamlined set of prioritization criteria
taking other considerations and input from City staff into
account. We will also review previously awarded SS4A
Implementation Grant applications to glean information
that may further strengthen future applications and
merit inclusion in the prioritization process.
Alta’s Civic Analytics team has developed tools to
streamline metric creation, score development, and
overlay processes to efficiently deliver prioritization
analysis. Based on the types of data available Alta can
use qualitative scoring or percentile-based scores for
comparing different metrics of success for projects. In
consultation with City staff, Alta will establish weighting
schemes for different prioritization scenarios and
provide draft results for review by relevant stakeholders.
The project prioritization methodology may also be
used to identify “bundled” projects (projects combined
for safety need or to facilitate implementation),
depending on input from stakeholders and engineering
judgment. Based on stakeholder review and a
sensitivity analysis of results based on different weights,
Alta will develop a preferred prioritization approach that
will be documented in the Prioritization Methodology
Memorandum. We will apply the adopted method(s)
to the Capital Project Spreadsheet to produce the
Updated Capital Project Spreadsheet with Prioritization.
Task 4.2 Deliverables
• Meet with City staff to discuss prioritization
methodology.
• Prioritization Methodology Memorandum
• Updated Capital Project Spreadsheet (with
Prioritization)
Task 4.3 Draft and Final Investment Strategy
Using the Updated Capital Project Spreadsheet with
Prioritization, Alta will compile a list of Comprehensive
Recommendations. These recommendations will
include preliminary cost estimates that align with the
requirements of the Caltrans Active Transportation
Program and SS4A, so that the recommendations can
be easily incorporated into future grant applications
for implementation. Based on the ranking and cost of
the Comprehensive Recommendations, along with the
potential to bundle improvements to address specific
needs or gain efficiencies, Alta will select $10 - $15
million in priority capital projects that align with previous
SS4A implementation grant guidelines. We will work
closely with City staff to select and refine this list of
Grant Recommendations.
We will compile the Comprehensive Recommendations
and Grant Recommendations along with the preliminary
concept maps and other supporting materials in the
Draft Public investment Strategy (Strategy).
The Draft Strategy will also include a concise
introduction acknowledging the USDOT and providing
background on the SS4A program and indicating the
City’s intent to use the Strategy document to pursue
funds from this program. Further, the Draft Strategy will
detail the project review and consolidation process and
provide a chapter on the methodology used to prioritize
projects for investment. Alta will meet with City staff
to review this draft and garner feedback. Following
resolution of comments, we will submit the Final
Investment Strategy that will provide a clear roadmap
for future funding pursuits and programming efforts
once adopted by City Council.

Strategy 5 Dashboard and Monitoring Tool
The Alta team will leverage our industry-leading
expertise in safety analytics and visualization to develop
a Dashboard and Monitoring Tool that illustrates the
current state of safety in Palm Desert and identifies
initiatives that move the City closer to its targets. This
dashboard is also envisioned to provide City staff with
a highly automated mechanism to maintain their safety
dashboard, track progress, and take ownership of how
data informs their efforts.
Task 5.1 Identify and Develop Content
Task 5.1.1 Systemic Safety Analysis Methodology
Memo
Alta will conduct an initial review of available data
sets prior to meeting with City staff. This review will
incorporate Transportation Injury Mapping System
(TIMS) or SWITRS data utilized for Collision and Gap
Analysis tasks and other available data relating to
infrastructure, safety conditions, and demographics
such as OpenStreetMap and American Community
Survey. The availability of Sheriff’s Department data
and traffic operations center data will be assessed
specifically for severe crashes that have yet to be
processed through SWITRS. Additionally, Alta staff
will review relevant planning documents such as the
Local Roadway Safety Plan (2016) and Walk & Roll
Bicycle & Pedestrian Gap Analysis (2022) to understand
community needs and concerns along with relevant
public input gathered in tasks 1 – 3.
The Alta team will share the findings of this initial scan
in a meeting with City staff along with any potential
analysis implications based on data availability or
fidelity. The Alta team will also solicit input on additional
datasets available to the City and discuss potentially
sensitive data that may require data sharing agreements
or application of data scrubbing techniques in order
to be incorporated into subsequent analysis and
visualization tasks. For efficiency, Alta’s budget for this
task assumes the use of readily available datasets.
Following these discussions, Alta will develop the
Systemic Safety Analysis Methodology Memo which
details the data inputs, methodologies, background
information, data assumptions, and analysis outputs for
each proposed analysis task and data deliverable in
Task 5.
Task 5.1.2 High Injury Network Development
High injury networks (HINs) identify streets with the
largest concentration of FSI collisions. These networks
often illustrate that a small amount of improvable
network can address the majority of FSI collisions. Alta
will develop a HIN for the study area based on the risk
implied from the intersection of the collision history with
the street network to be cross referenced with related
analyses included in the 2016 LRSP. These networks
are often developed by a staged process of developing
a risk index based on the collision types and severities
and their intensity. Then, Alta will accumulate collisions
to the network in the order of that index to identify
a network with a significant proportion of collisions
relative to the improvable length being targeted. Based
on the appropriate threshold developed in coordination
with feedback from City staff, Alta will create maps of
a finalized HIN. Based on the HIN, Alta will take any
analysis or available context and provide tabulations
that explain the composition of streets, built form, and
communities identified to be proximal to the HIN. In
addition to supporting Dashboard and Monitoring Tool
development, this analysis will also be used to inform
the investment strategy prioritization in Task 4.2.

60ALTA PLANNING + DESIGN, INC.RFP no. 2023-RFP-212 Funding Expertise
Task 5.1.3 Countermeasure Identification &
Evaluation
Alta will conduct an evaluation of citywide collision
patterns in Palm Desert with an aim to identify a short-
list of countermeasures that could mitigate the risk
of severe collisions. Leveraging this short list, Alta
will pinpoint 2-4 countermeasures founded on either
collision attributes or risk factors pertinent to the
contextual scenario of a collision. Collision factors could
encompass the nature of vehicle code violations, or
the modes of transportation involved in the incident,
whereas potential contextual risk assessments could
span vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian risk factors.
These risk factors may comprise data on the number
of traffic lanes, posted speed limits, types of bicycle
facilities, the built environment, lighting presence,
transit stops, median widths, horizontal curvature of the
road, intervals between crossing opportunities, and
intersection characteristics like traffic control types and
signal presence or phasing. Alta acknowledges that
not all risk factors may be thoroughly inventoried in
available data and will adapt our approach accordingly.
Following this analysis, Alta will allocate
countermeasures to either specific collisions or broader
areas identified as candidates for potential deployment.
The final mapping approach will be tailored based
on City staff preferences and the intrinsic needs of
the project. Crash Modification Factors (CMF) and/or
Crash Reduction Factors (CRF) that are widely used
in the traffic safety field and readily available on the
CMF Clearinghouse will be applied to the selected
countermeasures to provide an estimated effect size
for each. As appropriate, these countermeasures and
their CMF/CRF attributes can be incorporated as a
layer in the Data Dashboard to provide a useful safety
improvement tool for the City and its stakeholders.
Additionally, our identification and evaluation of
countermeasures will be used to inform the investment
strategy prioritization in Task 4.2.

Task 5.2 Design Data Dashboard
The dashboard design process will kick off with a
meeting with the relevant staff to grasp the desires
and expectations for the dashboard, aiming to unify
understanding of design objectives, functional
requirements, and data metrics to be visualized.
Following this dialogue, a design document will
be crafted for review, featuring screenshots of the
expected user interface, tabs, and pages, alongside
a narrative outlining the backend infrastructure,
anticipated APIs, web interface design, and overall
application architecture.
Upon receiving feedback on the initial design
document, a finalized version will be developed. This
document will reflect the design refinements based on
the feedback and serve as a definitive blueprint for the
dashboard design, marking a significant step towards its
development and deployment.
We propose to build the Safety Data Dashboard using
ArcGIS’s Online (AGOL) Experience Builder using a
guest login provided by the city to their ArcGIS Online /
Portal infrastructure. Alta has used Experience Builder
extensively to build highly effective and user-friendly
data dashboards such as Nashville’s Vision Zero Data
Dashboard. In Alta’s experience, AGOL provides a cost-
effective deployment solution for cities to maintain and
host their own applications over time and aligns with the
City’s existing use of Esri products. If desired, Alta can
explore alternative solutions in close collaboration with
City staff and assess feasibility for implementation in
alignment with allotted budget.
Task 5.2 Deliverables
• Data Dashboard Technical Architecture Memorandum
Task 5.3 Develop and Implement Data Dashboard
Alta will build a Safety Data Dashboard that will contain
key findings and narratives that illustrate the current
state of safety in the region, identifies performance
measures to track progress, and identifies solutions
and countermeasures that can be implemented to
move the city closer to meeting their Vision Zero goals.
This dashboard is envisioned to provide the city with
a highly automated mechanism to maintain their safety
dashboard, track progress, and take ownership of how
data informs their Vision Zero efforts. Alta will also
develop a Technical Documentation Memorandum to
accompany the Data Dashboard which synthesizes the
Systemic Safety Analysis Methodology Memorandum
developed in Task 5.1 and the Data Dashboard
Technical Architecture Memorandum developed in Task
5.2 supplemented with basic instructions for end users
of the Data Dashboard.

financial assistance is extended, or for another purpose involving the provision of

RESPONSIBILITY MATTERS -- PRIMARY COVERED TRANSACTIONS
2 C.F.R. Parts 180 and 1200
These assurances and certifications are applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts,
design-build contracts, subcontracts, lower-tier subcontracts, purchase orders, lease agreements,
consultant contracts or any other covered transaction requiring FHWA approval or that is
estimated to cost $25,000 or more – as defined in 2 C.F.R. Parts 180 and 1200.
By signing and submitting the Technical Application and by entering into this agreement under
the FY 2022 SS4A grant program, the Recipient is providing the assurances and certifications for
First Tier Participants and Lower Tier Participants in the FY 2022 SS4A Grant, as set out below.
1. Instructions for Certification – First Tier Participants:
a. The prospective first tier participant is providing the certification set out below.
b. The inability of a person to provide the certification set out below will not necessarily
result in denial of participation in this covered transaction. The prospective first tier participant
shall submit an explanation of why it cannot provide the certification set out below. The
certification or explanation will be considered in connection with the department or agency’s
determination whether to enter into this transaction. However, failure of the prospective first tier
participant to furnish a certification or an explanation shall disqualify such a person from
participation in this transaction.
c. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was
placed when the contracting agency determined to enter into this transaction. If it is later
determined that the prospective participant knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in
addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the contracting agency may
terminate this transaction for cause of default.
d. The prospective first tier participant shall provide immediate written notice to the
contracting agency to whom this proposal is submitted if any time the prospective first tier
participant learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous
by reason of changed circumstances.
e. The terms “covered transaction,” “civil judgment,” “debarred,” “suspended,” “ineligible,”
“participant,” “person,” “principal,” and “voluntarily excluded,” as used in this clause, are
defined in 2 C.F.R. Parts 180 and 1200. “First Tier Covered Transactions” refers to any covered
transaction between a Recipient or subrecipient of Federal funds and a participant (such as the
prime or general contract). “Lower Tier Covered Transactions” refers to any covered transaction
under a First Tier Covered Transaction (such as subcontracts). “First Tier Participant” refers to
the participant who has entered into a covered transaction with a Recipient or subrecipient of
Page 246 of 413
B-14
Federal funds (such as the prime or general contractor). “Lower Tier Participant” refers to any
participant who has entered into a covered transaction with a First Tier Participant or other
Lower Tier Participants (such as subcontractors and suppliers).
f. The prospective first tier participant agrees by submitting this proposal that, should the
proposed covered transaction be entered into, it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier
covered transaction with a person who is debarred, suspended, declared ineligible, or voluntarily
excluded from participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized by the department or
agency entering into this transaction.
g. The prospective first tier participant further agrees by submitting this proposal that it will
include the clause titled “Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and
Voluntary Exclusion-Lower Tier Covered Transactions,” provided by the department or
contracting agency, entering into this covered transaction, without modification, in all lower tier
covered transactions and in all solicitations for lower tier covered transactions exceeding the
$25,000 threshold.
h. A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective
participant in a lower tier covered transaction that is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or
voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is
erroneous. A participant is responsible for ensuring that its principals are not suspended,
debarred, or otherwise ineligible to participate in covered transactions. To verify the eligibility of
its principals, as well as the eligibility of any lower tier prospective participants, each participant
may, but is not required to, check the System for Award Management website
(https://www.sam.gov/), which is compiled by the General Services Administration.
i. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require the establishment of a
system of records in order to render in good faith the certification required by this clause. The
knowledge and information of the prospective participant is not required to exceed that which is
normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.
j. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph (f) of these instructions, if a participant
in a covered transaction knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who
is suspended, debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction,
in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department or agency may
terminate this transaction for cause or default.

DOT Order 3902.10, Text Messaging While Driving (Dec. 30, 2009) and Executive Order
13513, Federal Leadership on Reducing Text Messaging While Driving (Oct. 1, 2009). For
clarification purposes, they may expand upon the definitions in the executive order.
For the purpose of this Term B.4, “Motor Vehicles” means any vehicle, self-propelled or drawn

EXHIBIT C
QUARTERLY PROJECT PROGRESS REPORTS AND RECERTIFICATIONS:
FORMAT AND CONTENT
1. Purpose. The purpose of the Quarterly Project Progress Reports and Recertifications
under this agreement for the FY 2022 SS4A grant program are to ensure that the project scope,
schedule, and budget will be maintained to the maximum extent possible.
2. Format and Content. The Recipient shall produce a quarterly cost, schedule, and status
report that contains the sections enumerated in the following list. At the discretion of the
USDOT, modifications or additions can be made to produce a quarterly reporting format that
will most effectively serve both the Recipient and the USDOT. Some projects will have a more
extensive quarterly status than others. For smaller projects, the USDOT may determine that the
content of the quarterly reports will be streamlined and project status meetings will be held on a
less-frequent basis. The first quarterly progress report should include a detailed description and,
where appropriate, drawings of the items funded.
(a) Project Overall Status. This section provides an overall status of the project’s scope,
schedule and budget. The Recipient shall note and explain any deviations from the
scope of work, the schedule, or the budget that are described in this agreement.
(b) Project Significant Activities and Issues. This section provides highlights of key
activities, accomplishments, and issues occurring on the project during the previous
quarter. Activities and deliverables to be reported on should include meetings, audits
and other reviews, design packages submitted, advertisements, awards, construction
submittals, construction completion milestones, submittals related to any applicable
Recovery Act requirements, media or Congressional inquiries, value
engineering/constructability reviews, and other items of significance.
(c) Action Items/Outstanding Issues. This section should draw attention to, and track
the progress of, highly significant or sensitive issues requiring action and direction in
order to resolve. The Recipient should include administrative items and outstanding
issues that could have a significant or adverse effect on the project’s scope, schedule,
or budget. Status, responsible person(s), and due dates should be included for each
action item/outstanding issue. Action items requiring action or direction should be
included in the quarterly status meeting agenda. The action items/outstanding issues
may be dropped from this section upon full implementation of the remedial action,
and upon no further monitoring anticipated.
(d) Project Scope Overview. The purpose of this section is to provide a further update
regarding the project scope. If the original scope contained in the grant agreement is
still accurate, this section can simply state that the scope is unchanged.
(e) Project Schedule. An updated master program schedule reflecting the current status
of the program activities should be included in this section. A Gantt (bar) type chart is
probably the most appropriate for quarterly reporting purposes, with the ultimate
Page 255 of 413
C-2
format to be agreed upon between the Recipient and the USDOT. It is imperative that
the master program schedule be integrated, i.e., the individual contract milestones tied
to each other, such that any delays occurring in one activity will be reflected
throughout the entire program schedule, with a realistic completion date being
reported. Narratives, tables, and/or graphs should accompany the updated master
program schedule, basically detailing the current schedule status, delays and potential
exposures, and recovery efforts. The following information should also be included:
• Current overall project completion percentage vs. latest plan percentage.
• Completion percentages vs. latest plan percentages for major activities such as
right-of-way, major or critical design contracts, major or critical construction
contracts, and significant force accounts or task orders. A schedule status
description should also be included for each of these major or critical
elements.
• Any delays or potential exposures to milestone and final completion dates.
The delays and exposures should be quantified, and overall schedule impacts
assessed. The reasons for the delays and exposures should be explained, and
initiatives being analyzed or implemented in order to recover the schedule
should be detailed.
(f) Project Cost. An updated cost spreadsheet reflecting the current forecasted cost vs.
the latest approved budget vs. the baseline budget should be included in this section.
One way to track project cost is to show: (1) Baseline Budget, (2) Latest Approved
Budget, (3) Current Forecasted Cost Estimate, (4) Expenditures or Commitments to
Date, and (5) Variance between Current Forecasted Cost and Latest Approved
Budget. Line items should include all significant cost centers, such as prior costs,
right-of-way, preliminary engineering, environmental mitigation, general engineering
consultant, section design contracts, construction administration, utilities,
construction packages, force accounts/task orders, wrap-up insurance, construction
contingencies, management contingencies, and other contingencies. The line items
can be broken-up in enough detail such that specific areas of cost change can be
sufficiently tracked and future improvements made to the overall cost estimating
methodology. A Program Total line should be included at the bottom of the
spreadsheet. Narratives, tables, and/or graphs should accompany the updated cost
spreadsheet, basically detailing the current cost status, reasons for cost deviations,
impacts of cost overruns, and efforts to mitigate cost overruns. The following
information should be provided:
• Reasons for each line item deviation from the approved budget, impacts
resulting from the deviations, and initiatives being analyzed or implemented
in order to recover any cost overruns.
• Transfer of costs to and from contingency line items, and reasons supporting
the transfers.
Page 256 of 413
C-3
• Speculative cost changes that potentially may develop in the future, a
quantified dollar range for each potential cost change, and the current status of
the speculative change. Also, a comparison analysis to the available
contingency amounts should be included, showing that reasonable and
sufficient amounts of contingency remain to keep the project within the latest
approved budget.
• Detailed cost breakdown of the general engineering consultant (GEC) services
(if applicable), including such line items as contract amounts, task orders
issued (amounts), balance remaining for tasks, and accrued (billable) costs.
• Federal obligations and/or disbursements for the project, compared to planned
obligations and disbursements.
(g) Federal Financial Report (SF-425). The Federal Financial Report (SF-425) is a
financial reporting form used throughout the Federal Government Grant system.
Recipients shall complete this form and attach it to each quarterly Project Progress
and Monitoring Report. The form is available at
https://www.grants.gov/forms/post-award-reporting-forms.html.
(h) Certifications.
i. A certification that the Recipient is in compliance with 2 C.F.R. 200.303
(Internal Controls) and 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Subpart F (Audit Requirements).
ii. The certification required under 2 C.F.R. 200.415(a).

SS4A Quick TipsOn March 31, 2023, the USDOT announced a second round of funding opportunities for its Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program. The newly established SS4A program supports regional, local, and Tribal Safety Action Plans, as well as projects and strategies that
prevent traffic deaths and severe injuries.
With $1.18 billion available
this round, now is the time to apply!
Implementation
Plan Grants
$600,000,000
Implementation Grants are more
competitive. In FY22, less than 20% of
applications were successful. The minimum
award amount is $2.5 million, and the
maximum award amount is $25 million.
Implementation grants can include either full
construction or supplemental planning and
demonstration activities, and the USDOT
can choose to partially fund the funding
request. USDOT expects to award up to
one hundred Implementation Grants.
Planning and Demonstration Grants
$577,213,000
Towns, Cities, or Counties can apply for $100,000
minimum and $10 million maximum in funding. Joint
applications are encouraged (applicants can do a single
Action Plan covering all jurisdictions or create several
plans for individual jurisdictions, administered by a
leading agency). These grants can aid in the creation of a
comprehensive safety action plan, or fund supplemental
planning (such as a lighting plan) or demonstration
activities (such as temporary installations like creative
crosswalks or engineering studies). USDOT expects to
award hundreds of Planning and Demonstration grants
in this round of funding. In FY22, every complete and
eligible planning grant application was awarded.
Who Can Apply?
Metropolitan Planning Organizations and local jurisdictions.
Multi-jurisdictional applications are highly encouraged, and
are a good option for smaller agencies without the resources
to apply on their own.
Applications are due on
or before July 10, 2023
How to Apply
Applicants need to register with SAM.gov before
submitting their final application. This can take up
to 30 days to complete. We encourage applicants
to start early.

RE: Vision Zero Strategy (Roadway Safety Planning & Public Engagement) - 2023-RFP-212
Dear Mr. Gerry, Mr. Al-Beitawi, and Members of the Selection Committee:
Congratulations on being selected for a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Action Plan Award to prepare
a transformative Vision Zero Strategy for your community. We at Alta Planning + Design, Inc. (Alta) are
pleased to submit this proposal to assist the City of Palm Desert with delivering this important initiative and
catalyzing needed change.
Alta developed the Coachella Valley Link (CV Link) Master Plan and is currently leading the design,
engineering, and construction support for this 50-mile pathway of national importance that connects
Coachella Valley and key destinations in Palm Desert. We coordinated with the City throughout these
efforts. Alta is also providing grant support, bikeway design, and engineering services to the City of
Coachella to advance their Connecting Coachella initiative.
Alta has developed actionable Safe Routes to School and Safe Routes for Seniors plans for local and
regional clients throughout Southern California. We have worked closely with clients on safety-focused
project nationwide. Alta works at the forefront of this field, leading the way in developing national guidelines
and performing vulnerable user research for the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP)
and the US Department of Transportation. Alta brings an acute awareness of vulnerable user risks and
needs in planning and infrastructure design and have experience building consensus, understanding
behavioral shifts, identifying appropriate countermeasures, and defining ambitious, but realistic, change.
Further, our multidisciplinary approach to planning ensures that our engagement, analytics, engineering,
and grant-writing expertise inform our planning process. This approach results in recommendations and
outcomes that are not only supported by the community, but are also founded on robust data analysis and
primed for funding.
Alta is proud to team with Idea Peddler, LLC to deliver Palm Desert’s Vision Zero Strategy. Idea Peddler
has been a close creative partner of the City of Palm Desert’s Travel and Tourism Department for the last
five years. Operating at the intersection of creativity and media, their work with community leaders and
stakeholders on the grassroots UNITE Palm Desert campaign was recognized nationally by the US Travel
Association. Idea Peddler has successfully strategized and implemented public health campaigns helping
drive meaningful results. They have seen the need for active transportation education, awareness, and
engagement in Palm Desert firsthand and share our deep commitment to delivering an impactful Vision Zero
Strategy for the City. Together, we bring a visionary marketing approach informed by deep engagement and
expertise in planning, safety, and behavior change. This strategy will be a transformative one that fosters the
embrace of active transportation and meaningfully improves road safety while preparing the City to win up
to $15M in SS4A Implementation Grants.

Our approach for delivering a transformative and synergistic Vision Zero Strategy includes:
• Strategy 1: Safe Routes to School Plan (Schools Plan) – Through combining authentic and robust
stakeholder engagement with targeted data analysis, the Schools Plan will leverage Alta’s deep
experience to provide clear and implementable recommendations that create safer, more comfortable
walking and bicycling options for students, their families, and residents.
• Strategy 2: Safe Routes for Seniors Plan (Seniors Plan) – Drawing on lessons learned from recent work
with the City of Santa Monica on their Active Aging (Safe Routes for Seniors) Program, Alta will develop a
Palm Desert Safe Routes for Seniors Plan. The Seniors Plan will employ targeted engagement and analytic
methods in this emerging area of practice to establish innovative and achievable recommendations that
encourage and facilitate the use of transportation alternatives in ways geared specifically to the unique
needs of seniors. These transportation alternatives include strategies to ease multimodal decisions and
maintain mobility for seniors, including aging road users.
• Strategy 3: Public Engagement Activation – Idea Peddler’s creative approach and media savvy will work
in tandem with Alta’s traffic safety and behavior change expertise to build and deliver a participatory
Vision Zero Campaign that both resonates with community members and is backed by science, disrupting
the culture of driving and fostering shifts to active travel modes.
• Strategy 4: Implementation Strategy – Drawing on our track record of winning large capital improvement
grants for clients, Alta will consolidate and prioritize recommendations made in the Schools and Seniors
Plans along with projects in the City’s CIP and other regional plans. Our prioritization process will use
carefully-selected criteria and analysis methods that combine feasibility and strategic objectives to
position Palm Desert to win competitive infrastructure grants.
• Strategy 5: Dashboard and Monitoring Tool – Alta will leverage our industry-leading expertise in safety
analytics and visualization to identify issues, develop countermeasure recommendations, and produce
an intuitive and attractive data dashboard that illustrates the current state of safety in Palm Desert
and identifies initiatives that move the City closer to its targets while providing City staff with a highly
automated means of tracking progress.
As Principal-in-Charge, I will oversee the team, verify adequate resources are being allocated, and
implement quality control. Les Brown, AICP will serve as the Project Manager and the City’s primary
point-of-contact. Les is experienced in leading safety-focused plans and initiatives and coordinating
efficient public engagement processes. His deep commitment to Vision Zero, familiarity with leading active
transportation safety campaigns, and experience managing large multidisciplinary projects make him
uniquely well-qualified to lead this effort. Alta looks forward to working with the City of Palm Desert on this
project. Should you have any questions about our proposal, please feel free to contact Les at (626) 622-
3941) or at lesbrown@altago.com. Our duly authorized representative Emily Duchon is available to negotiate

CV Link is an innovative, multimodal facility of national importance
that connects communities in the Coachella Valley while providing
significant environmental, health, wellness, and economic benefits to
the region. In 2013, Alta began development of the CV Link Master
Plan for a multimodal spine of on- and off-street shared use facilities
that connect the nine cities of the Eastern Riverside County region,
also known as Coachella Valley. The team also prepared a Parkway
Master Plan and a Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEV) Plan to meet
legislative requirements and is currently leading design, engineering,
and construction support for this 50-mile pathway.
Alta served as the engineering lead and provided project
management, civil engineering, and site design services. This included
agency and JPA coordination, pathway grading, drainage, and
setting overall design standards for the project. The 100% drawing
set was comprised of over 1000 plan sheets including civil, structural,
geotechnical, electrical, and traffic engineering. Alta led the design of
three intersection modification plans, including the addition of bicycle
signal phases and upgrading existing equipment. Construction on
the first pilot segment broke ground in 2017, with additional segments
following in 2019, 2020, and 2021.

Alta developed the following through this project:
• The 2015-16 to 2019-20 Five-Year Evaluation Report identified
accomplishments and challenges surrounding project goals of
engagement and reach, equity, safety, and mode split.
• The Youth-Based High-Injury Network (y-HIN) helps prioritize
future improvements by identifying segments in road networks
where youth-involved pedestrian and bicycle collisions have
occurred.
• Detailed collision profile infographics by jurisdiction that outline
the y-HIN, collision trends, school and community equity analysis,
and reported collision causes that relate to severe, youth, and
active collisions for each city in the County. These profiles and
additional collision analysis were used to inform the selection of
countermeasures to consider for implementation to provide safer
routes to schools.
• The San Mateo County 2022-23 to 2026-27 SRTS Strategy paves
the way for deepening intra-agency partnerships and increasing
the number of families safely using active transportation for the
school commute.

Alta worked with the City of Santa Monica to deliver a pilot program
that supports older adults in using transportation options to get around
their community. The project aimed to improve older adults’ mobility,
safety, and health by helping them walk, bicycle, and take transit more
often through development and implementation of diverse programs.
Through a pilot approach, older adults were offered education, direct
supportive services, and opportunities for social/experiential learning.
The pilot programs took place over the course of 40 weeks and
included activities such as educational/skills classes, a senior mobility
expo, group walks and bike rides, and development of an “information
hub” that pulls together transportation information for seniors into
one easily accessible place. The project also included walk audits to
identify priority locations for infrastructure improvements, as well as a
robust communications plan to promote the program and activities. At
the end of the project, Alta evaluated the Santa Monica Active Aging
Pilot Program and advised the City on improvement and expansion of
piloted activities.

Alta prepared a Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Plan for the City
of Bakersfield. The Bakersfield Metropolitan area has the highest
fatality rate for bicyclists and pedestrians in California, and it has
the 12th highest fatality rate in the country. Alta took a holistic and
measured approach to this safety-focused work to consider all modes
of transportation in order to develop a more equitable and safe
transportation network. Alta has pioneered systemic safety analyses
for walking and biking to identify areas of concern before crashes
occur, as well as areas with latent demand where walking would
increase with safety improvements. Alta coupled the technical analysis
with practical field observations to provide accurate results and sound
safety recommendations.
As part of this project, Alta developed a number of low-cost rapid
response treatments to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety
at a number of locations. Alta also developed 30% design plans,
cost estimates, and cut sheets for a number of high-risk locations
throughout Bakersfield.

Alta is completing an extensive Vision Zero Action Plan for the City of
El Paso with the aim of securing implementation funding through the
Safe Streets For All (SS4A) Federal program. The process has involved
a robust and complex systemic safety analysis resulting in vehicular
and pedestrian high injury networks, ten unique crash profiles,
predictive modeling, and crash cost implications. The systemic safety
analysis is being used to guide specific policy updates, organized
by the Safe Systems Approach criteria, and prioritize locations for
infrastructure improvements.
Innovative components include development of an insightful data
dashboard and the use of connected vehicle data to do a proactive
safety analysis that accounts for observed speeding, harsh braking, or
other risky behaviors.
The project has an implementation-focus that will take this process
beyond the typical policy-orientation of an Action Plan. Alta is
preparing conceptual designs to guide countermeasure application at
the top ten priority locations and is performing a corridor deep dive
to help systemically match policy and design objectives to an existing
city corridor context. The project also includes an extensive community
outreach process and development of unique graphics and materials,
in both English and Spanish, that convey technical information in public-
friendly and understandable ways.

artist, John Cuevas, crafted a symbolic design to reinvigorate the city.
Incorporating the United Palm Desert message with colors inspired by
the desert, this design launched the campaign with a mural, and later
on the City’s website. Additionally, it was offered to all local businesses
to use in their individual marketing efforts.
Idea Peddler Solution:
To build general awareness and spread the message across the city,
a variety of City-owned, high-visibility assets were integrated. The
Unite Palm Desert creative was incorporated on local bus wraps, pole
banners lining main streets and shopping districts, and billboards.
To support the City of Palm Desert’s vital restaurant business, a fund
was dedicated, along with new imagery that captured Covid-friendly
content with masked patrons, spacious seating, and amazing food. The
social media campaign corresponded with the City’s public relations
messaging and grassroots word of mouth.

Idea Peddler Solution:
From insight to execution, Idea Peddler led the City of Palm Desert
through the development of a new identity. To accomplish this goal,
the strategy team conducted local listening sessions with stakeholders:
event directors, restaurateurs, hoteliers, and local retailers to better
understand the community’s self-perception. Idea Peddler then
conducted qualitative sessions in key drive markets to understand the
visitor’s mindset. Insights gathered from this research drove the 2020
campaign development: “Find Your Happy Pace.” Messaging about
Palm Desert benefits included the ease of access, and the ability to
cruise from one outdoor attraction to the next. Whether it be by bike
or by foot, our creativity captured the beauty in journeying at a friendly
pace through art, leisure, and the vast outdoors.

Alta, in partnership with the Local Government Commission (LGC), led the
development of a comprehensive, community-based Safe Routes to School
(SRTS) Plan for three local schools in the City of Adelanto. The final SRTS
Plan is the result of extensive stakeholder engagement and reflects the
community’s vision for a more connected, safer, and healthier Adelanto. The
final SRTS Plan also provided actionable infrastructure and programmatic
recommendations that sets Adelanto up for successful implementation. Alta
leveraged their SRTS Plan work to support the City in applying for a Cycle 6
Active Transportation Program (ATP) funding. As a result, the City won nearly
$10 million to implement all of the recommendations from the SRTS Plan
including new sidewalks, multi-use paths, and a traffic circle, along with SRTS
education and encouragement programming.

Alta worked with the City of Santa Monica to deliver a pilot program that
supports older adults in using transportation options to get around their
community. The project aimed to improve older adults’ mobility, safety, and
health by helping them walk, bicycle, and take transit more often through
development and implementation of diverse programs. Through a pilot
approach, older adults were offered education, direct supportive services,
and opportunities for social/experiential learning. The pilot programs was
implemented over the course of 40 weeks and included activities such as
educational/skills classes, a senior mobility expo, group walks and bike rides,
and development of an “information hub” that pulled together transportation
information for seniors into one easily accessible place.

Why Vision Zero
Millions of Americans are injured in car crashes each
year, and over a lifetime, Americans have a one-in-
a-hundred chance of dying from a motor vehicle
crash. Even those who are not killed may be seriously
injured and have the course of their life dramatically
changed through pain, incapacitation, and trauma.
Crashes take a toll on economic productivity and place
a burden on government agencies and community-
based organizations who must help the survivors. By
committing to the development of a comprehensive
Vision Zero Strategy based on a Safe Systems
Approach, including a heightened focus on the
community’s most vulnerable road users, the City of
Palm Desert understands that this degree of loss—of life
and quality of life—is unacceptable. More importantly, it
is preventable.
This doesn’t mean that achieving significant reductions
and eventually eliminating serious injuries and
fatalities is easy. Individual decisions and unconscious
actions, by drivers and other roadway users, may be
the proximate cause of crashes, but those decisions
are made in response to a much larger system that
ultimately results in an environment that causes crashes.
Land use decisions, roadway design guidelines, speed
limit rules, enforcement practices, judicial biases,
professional training, automotive design, a culture that
tolerates speeding—all this and more add up to form
the environment in which too many drivers are making
bad decisions. Moreover, this environment discourages
walking, bicycling, and other forms of active travel
and recreation leading to increasingly sedentary and
isolated lifestyles that fuel public health crises like the
childhood obesity epidemic.
Prevent crashes Prevent deaths and serious injuries
Improve human behavior Design for human mistakes/limitations
Control speeding Reduce speed
Individuals are responsible Share responsibility
React based on crash history Proactively identify and address risks
Whereas traditional road safety strives to modify
human behavior and prevent all crashes, the Safe
System approach also refocuses transportation
system design and operation on anticipating human
mistakes and lessening impact forces to reduce
crash severity and save lives.

Safety in Palm Desert Today
With year-round sunny weather and lower cost of living
than its coastal neighbors, Palm Desert’s population
growth has outpaced the state’s – attracting retirees,
working families, and other residents. Its full-time
population of approximately 50,000 residents
swells by an additional 30,000 in the winter months
while the area’s resorts, golf courses, festivals, and
natural amenities draw seasonal tourists. While hot in
summer months, its climate is ideal for outdoor activity
throughout much of the year. This mix of demographic,
economic, and environmental characteristics gives Palm
Desert’s roads and neighborhoods a unique character
seen in its shared bike and golf cart paths, numerous
assisted living facilities, and shopping districts along the
El Paseo corridor that serve people of diverse means.
The City of Palm Desert and partner jurisdictions like
the Coachella Valley Association of Governments
(CVAG) have taken significant steps to enable safe
and comfortable active travel and to improve road
safety overall, most notably with the planning and
construction of the CV Link trail that will connect
much of the Coachella Valley. Further, the City has
undertaken an ambitious public works program to
identify and close gaps in its bicycle and pedestrian
network culminating in the planned addition of nearly
30 miles of Class II and Class III bikeways. Palm Desert’s
elected leadership have also voiced their support for
a safe and sustainable transportation system including
a commitment by Council Member Jan Harnik to “build
the city for people and not cars.” With these and other
public works, the City has emerged as a leader and
civic innovator in the Coachella Valley.
Despite opportunities and advancements, the City faces
significant hurdles to achieving Vision Zero and shifting
trips to active modes. Fatal and serious injury (FSI)
crashes – especially those involving pedestrian and
bicyclist victims – have skyrocketed nationwide since
the pandemic, reversing earlier declines. This grim tally
includes a Palm Desert bicyclist who was fatally struck
on Country Club Drive the morning of October 10th,
2023. Victims of these crashes are often members of
marginalized communities, lending a significant equity
dimension to this epidemic. Seniors and young children,
who are more likely to suffer serious injuries and
fatalities in the event of a crash, are among the most
vulnerable of these road user groups. Additionally, the
region’s sprawling development pattern, legacy road
design, and prevailing biases in favor of driving create
further barriers to active travel.
The Joslyn Center is a key destination for active seniors in Palm
Desert.

Preliminary Analysis
Building upon Palm Desert’s 2016 Local Road Safety
Plan, our initial analysis of safety conditions in Palm
Desert highlights areas where crashes involving
vulnerable road users (VRU) are concentrated and
where further study and engagement may be merited.
For instance, an analysis of Statewide Integrated
Traffic Records System (SWITRS) data spanning 2018
– 2022 shows that many of Palm Desert’s FSI crashes
occur along the SR 74 and SR 111 corridors in the
city’s westside. As shown in Figure 1, serious crashes
involving bicyclists and pedestrians aged 55+ are
particularly concentrated in and around the city’s retail
strip along SR 111. In Figure 2, we used anonymized
mobile location data from Replica to examine the origins
of bicycle and walking trips made by seniors on a
typical spring 2023 weekday, finding that many begin
adjacent to this high crash corridor.
As a major arterial lined with frontage roads, the SR
111 corridor represents a barrier for safe active travel.
Neighborhoods to the north and south of this corridor
are home to many senior living facilities and amenities
like the Joslyn Center and El Paseo Shopping District.
They are also a significant source of bicycle and
pedestrian trips made by Palm Desert seniors. The
intersection of San Luis Rey Ave and SR 111 connects
several of these neighborhoods and is a hotspot of
serious crashes involving these groups, suggesting one
area for potential study and countermeasure application
as part of the overall Vision Zero Strategy.
The intersection of San Luis Rey Ave and SR 111 with adjacent frontage road.

A similar analysis of crash locations and travel patterns
involving bicyclists and pedestrians under 18 reveals
potential countermeasure opportunity at intersections
in and around the block group containing Abraham
Lincoln Elementary School and Palm Desert High
School. School safety problems are often exacerbated
by traffic congestion at arrival and dismissal times
that can create added issues such as air and noise
pollution. Such issues highlight the need for a multi-
pronged campaign that includes not just planning and
engineering approaches but a concerted engagement
and messaging campaign that calls attention to the high
costs of the transportation status quo and effectively
encourages and promotes alternatives. Palm Desert’s
Vision Zero Safety Campaign has the potential to create
this change, and the Alta team is equipped to help the
City achieve this goal.
Congestion at Palm Desert High School.
A Call to Action
By pursuing a holistic Vision Zero
Strategy with an emphasis on the
community’s most vulnerable road
users, the City of Palm Desert
has answered the call to action
demanded by these unsafe and
unsustainable conditions. The Alta
team brings the right mix of skills,
experience, and creativity combined
with considerable knowledge of local
communities to deliver meaningful
results for the City of Palm Desert.

Project
Management
Principal-in-Charge Sam Corbett will provide strong
leadership along with Project Manager, Les Brown,
throughout the Vision Zero Strategy project for the City
of Palm Desert. Alta provides shared tools to enable
delivery of high-quality products to our clients without
surprises. Our approach to project management
includes:
• Preparing a clear scope of work that focuses on
meeting the client’s needs
• Continual monitoring of the schedule
• Clear and consistent communication with the client
• Real-time budget management
• Quality control
• Risk management and resolution
Project Controls
The following outlines Alta’s proven procedures for
effectively managing a project:
Schedule
Prior to the kick-off meeting, we will create a detailed
project schedule that maps out the tasks, work flows,
critical path deadlines, and review cycles. This will be
a living tool for the team to use to both plan ahead
and coordinate, and also adjust as the project evolves.
Having a clear schedule will help the team communicate
about expectations, resources, and issues to be
resolved.
Schedule Control
Alta understands the need to balance outreach with
project schedules, as well as local, citywide, and
regional transportation goals. Public opinion on projects
also needs to be well-informed and representative of
the community as a whole, not necessarily just a vocal
few. Outreach must also be well-timed in relation to
the project schedule. Feedback should be requested
early, when it is feasible to incorporate changes, and
the extent that a project is subject to change must be
made evident to the public. Later outreach should show
that a path forward has been chosen, and community
feedback has been integrated in specific ways. This
demonstrates that we’ve listened to the public and
illustrates how their feedback has been incorporated.
Communication
Quality control, communication, and project value
involves Project Manager and Principal-in-Charge
review of every project deliverable. Alta’s Project
Manager will be in regular contact with the City’s Project
Manager to keep them apprised of progress and seek
input at key decision points. Managing this project
effectively will require excellent communication skills
so each member involved, including the various City
staff and consultant team members, has a common
understanding and expectation of the project outcome.
Our team is small enough to provide personalized
service, and large enough to include an array of skillsets
to serve multiple strategies at once. Our team will help
create and deliver a collaborative process between
the City’s staff and key project stakeholders. We take
special pride in our ability to generate effective and
informative collaborative relationships with our clients
and project partners.
Time and Budget Management
Alta Project Managers use Deltek Vision software
to manage the complete lifecycle of a project. Time
commitments, project costs, and fees are captured in
real time for accurate and complete client budgeting
and billing. Project cost control can also be attributed to:
• A strong, experienced project management team
with a proven track record
• Open lines of communication between the project
team and the City
• Striving to produce a project that exceeds the
expectations of the City within the established
budgets and schedule
Our team has an excellent record of delivering high
quality, award-winning, comprehensive projects to
communities on time and within defined budgets.
We invite proposal reviewers to contact our listed
references to discuss our work experience on similar
projects.
Alta utilizes Deltek Vision software to manage the complete life-cycle of a project.

30ALTA PLANNING + DESIGN, INC.RFP no. 2023-RFP-212 Vision Zero Strategy(Roadway Safety Planning & Public Engagement)
Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC)
Alta maintains a quality assurance/quality control
system along with strict adherence to established
business procedures. Our team employs a three-tier
quality control system that includes (1) an in-house
editor who reviews all materials, (2) independent
review by principals, and (3) in-house scheduling and
management tools.
Our QA/QC process will provide both plan verification
and schedule compliance. All members of the project
team have the authority to identify problems, and to
initiate, recommend, provide, and verify the necessary
solutions.
The QA/QC process will be led by Principal-in-Charge
Sam Corbett, whose primary role will be to see to the
integration of goals of the project and to verify the
accuracy and consistency of project deliverables.
His strategic oversight and involvement will provide
an efficient team that is well-connected to local
opportunities and partnerships.
Our quality management procedures will see that:
• Work is performed by qualified personnel
• The necessary information is documented, checked,
transmitted and reviewed for completeness
• Documents will be reviewed by staff technical
writers for accuracy
• Products are reviewed by staff not directly involved
in the project to provide a fresh perspective and
insight
Alta concentrates on providing the highest level
of service possible to our clients. We know that
understanding our clients’ most pressing needs,
concerns, and issues is at the heart of planning and
implementing successful and vibrant projects.
Risk Management and Resolution
Nearly all projects encounter resistance and varying
degrees of difficulty at one point or another. Many
planning projects are a minefield of potential pitfalls
and challenges. These can include new requests from
the public, changes to local policy, and inter-agency
conflict. Consequently, it is critically important to have a
team that anticipates these difficulties and is prepared
to address these challenges with innovative approaches
and battle tested solutions. Sam and Les will be
continually “scanning the horizon” to identify potential
risks and possible solutions before they impact the
schedule and budget. We excel at helping our clients
anticipate challenges and adjust as needed to complete
delivery of core project outcomes.

Strategy 1: Safe Routes to School Plan
The Palm Desert Safe Routes to School Plan
(School Plan) will provide clear implementable
recommendations to create safer, more comfortable
walking and bicycling options for students, their
families, and residents. Through authentic and robust
stakeholder engagement combined with targeted
analysis of relevant data, the School Plan will identify
safety, infrastructure, and programmatic barriers to
walking and bicycling to, from, and around school. The
School Plan development process itself will provide
opportunities to educate and encourage families at
schools in Palm Desert and surrounding communities to
walk and bike to school safely and often.
The City has demonstrated its commitment to active
transportation through its Local Road Safety Plan, which
highlighted the need to improve safe access to schools
for walking and biking for the school commute. Palm
Desert’s further commitment to the health and safety of
its students will be realized through the completion of
the School Plan by identifying clear and actionable next
steps to improve school routes and promote their use,
including for those with mobility challenges.
The School Plan project includes 8 schools serving
more than 7,000 students across one school district and
three cities. The Alta team understands that working
with school communities presents unique opportunities
for deep and personal engagement into highly localized
issues around neighborhood infrastructure and travel
behavior. At the same time, we are sensitive to the
value of participants’ time and seek to structure a
multi-layered outreach that gives stakeholders multiple
channels for engagement throughout the process, and
aligns with existing meetings and events as much as
possible.
Based on our experience working on similar SRTS
efforts and guided by the City of Palm Desert,
neighboring cities, and Desert Sands Unified School
District, Riverside County’s Department of Public Health,
and school and community stakeholders, Alta will create
a School Plan that addresses the following objectives:
• Develop a School Plan that incorporates infrastructure
and non-infrastructure recommendations.
• Engage with stakeholders to identify school
community-supported SRTS projects that will result in
improved safety, public health, and connectivity.
• Provide actionable recommendations geared toward
grants and implementation.
The following describes the Alta team’s anticipated
scope of work for the School Plan. For all deliverables,
we assume the City will circulate drafts to any potential
additional reviewers and provide one round of
consolidated and internally-consistent comments.

Task 1.1 Existing Conditions
The Alta team will begin the work on the School Plan
by conducting a project kickoff meeting followed by
collection of a variety of data to inform the planning
effort.
Task 1.1.1 Project Management
Throughout the project, there will be ongoing
coordination between Alta’s Project Manager and
City of Palm Desert staff including in-person, e-mail,
and phone communication to keep staff up to date.
In addition, we will conduct bi-weekly calls to review
progress, schedule, budget, and next steps covering
active tasks.
Alta will use the following communication and reporting
approach:
• Project Kickoff Meeting. Alta will facilitate a virtual
project kickoff meeting that will include:
»Introductions
»Review of project schedule to identify key tasks,
milestones, critical path items, deliverables, and
due dates
• Regular Team Meetings. Throughout the project,
Alta will host virtual bi-weekly meetings to keep the
project moving forward on schedule and budget.
• Consolidated Comments. Unless otherwise stated,
Alta has assumed one round of City review of draft
deliverables including consolidated and internally
consistent comments to maintain efficiency and
adhere to the project schedule.
• Monthly Progress Reports. We will produce monthly
progress reports that summarize tasks completed, and
outline tasks to be completed in the coming month.
• Meeting Summaries and Action Items. Alta will
produce detailed meeting summaries covering the
discussion items and will include a list of follow-up
tasks and the responsible party for each task in a
Status of Open Items format.
Budget for these activities have been distributed
throughout the project commensurate with the
anticipated level of administration, oversight,
coordination, and reporting effort required for each task.
Task 1.1.2 Plan Review
The Alta team, in collaboration with the City, will collect
and review existing plans, policies, programs, and data.
Existing plans will likely include, but not be limited to:
• General Plan
• Envision Palm Desert Strategic Plan
• Local Road Safety Plan
• SCAG’s Connect SoCal
Findings will be included in an Existing Conditions
Memo.
Task 1.1.3 Data Collection
Alta will gather existing conditions and background data
for each school, identify opportunities and constraints
as well as standards by which recommended updates
will be set to guide the preparation of the School Plan,
and include existing land uses, current and projected
housing and land use development, population
characteristics, and travel projections.
Alta will prepare a data request memo identifying key
data needs such as existing conditions information
that includes existing and proposed facilities, current
mode share, description of land use and destinations,
existing bicycle parking, existing wayfinding and
existing non-infrastructure programs. This memo will
be shared with the City Project Manager and the City
will supply available data and documents that are not
publicly available or that the project team does not have
from previous work in Palm Desert. The findings of the
existing conditions and background data review will be
compiled into an Existing Conditions Memo.
Task 1.1.4 Traffic Counts
Alta team will collect traffic counts at up to three (3)
locations near each school, including bicyclist and
pedestrian counts conducted in three-hour blocks
around school pick-up and drop-off times. The count
information will be used to assess demand that can
inform areas for improvement and prioritize potential
projects. The findings of the traffic counts will be
provided in the Existing Conditions Memo. Additionally,
the count information will also be used to inform the
Crossing Guard Analysis (further details provided in
Task 1.5). If desired, Palm Desert can reserve some of
the proposed counts to use later in the project to help
inform conceptual design decisions.

Task 1.1.5 Existing Conditions Maps and
Memorandum
Alta has extensive experience preparing
comprehensive base maps for SRTS projects that
illustrate important information in a cohesive and clear
manner. We will prepare a base map for each school to
show the school location, physical conditions, and travel
information such as enrollment boundaries, school bus
routes, transit lines, improvement plans, and crossing
guard locations. We will further compile all materials
developed in other tasks into an Existing Conditions
Memo.
Task 1.1 Deliverables
• Kickoff Meeting and Meeting Notes
• Monthly Progress Reports
• Bi-Weekly Team Meetings
• Data request memorandum
• Traffic counts around project schools
• Existing Conditions Memo, draft and final
• Base maps for project schools
Task 1.2 Collisions and Gaps Analysis
Task 1.2.1 Collisions Analysis
Alta will conduct a bicycle and pedestrian collision
analysis using the latest available 10-year SWITRS
data. This analysis will be focused within a half-mile
radius of each school and will include the total number
of collisions by mode. We will document the top five
intersections with the highest bicycle and pedestrian
collisions and corresponding schools, and include the
top five most common collision factor causes. Alta
team will combine the collision data analysis performed
through the 2016 Local Road Safety Plan with the most
recent SWITRS data and supplemental data provided by
City staff for each school (if available). The findings will
be summarized and included in the Collisions and Gaps
Analysis Memo.
Task 1.2.2 Challenges, Needs, and Gaps Analysis
and Memo
Alta will conduct an assessment of infrastructure gaps
and needs. This assessment will quantify factors that
impact walking and bicycling activity, locate network
gaps as potential projects, and identify areas with
specific characteristics, such as areas that have both
significant active transportation gaps and a high
demand for walking and bicycling. This analysis will
consider both roadways and trails within the City. Alta
will use data about existing multimodal infrastructure to
develop an understanding of how well destinations and
areas of demand are connected for people who want
to walk and bike for both transportation and recreation.
Our analysis will also consider how the City’s networks
connect regionally to destinations throughout the
Coachella Valley.
Alta will apply the results of these analyses to identify:
• Gaps in existing bicycle networks, intersection
crossing needs, and other conflict points;
• Gaps in pedestrian networks, such as sidewalk gaps;
• Crossing needs in areas of pedestrian activities or at
crossings of streets and other public rights-of-way;
and
• New trail opportunities along drainage channels,
other infrastructure rights-of-way, or adjacent to public
street right-of-ways.
Alta will produce maps, tables, and narrative that
describe gaps and needs synthesizing this information
into critical needs and gaps that can be addressed by
the City. Information from the public outreach process
will also be integrated into this process. Alta will compile
the collision data and analysis into the Collisions and
Gaps Analysis Memo. Building on the base maps
created in Task 1.1, we will identify challenges, needs,
and gaps in the bicycle and pedestrian networks.
The findings will be summarized and included in the
Collisions and Gaps Analysis Memo.
Task 1.2 Deliverables
• Collisions and Gaps Analysis Memo (Draft and Final)

Task 1.3 Outreach and Engagement
Task 1.3.1 Outreach and Engagement Plan
The Alta team brings our experience conducting
outreach in Palm Desert and the surrounding
communities and understands the importance of
developing material and notices in English and Spanish.
With that in mind Alta, with input from the City, will
prepare a detailed Outreach and Engagement Plan that
will include school and community engagement tools
and events to be used throughout the development of
the School Plan. The Outreach and Engagement Plan
will consist of a strategy to fully engage underserved
communities, including outreach in multiple languages
and means to reach groups that may not participate in
traditional planning events.
Task 1.3.2 Website and Social Media
Alta is experienced in developing engaging content that
supports the SRTS planning process. We will develop
content for a School Plan project webpage on the
City’s website and social media platforms. The purpose
of this content is to promote outreach and education
materials, document workshops, promote parent
surveys, workshops, walk audits, the Draft School Plan,
and eventually the Final School Plan. The website will
also allow stakeholders to submit feedback without
attending meetings.
Task 1.3.3 Student Data
Alta understands the importance of student and partner
input into the planning process. Alta has created
modified data collection forms for the standardized
Student Travel Tally and Parent Survey questionnaires
from the National Center for Safe Routes to School that
streamline and simplify that data collection. With the
closure of the National Center, Alta uses SurveyMonkey
to collect this data, and has developed template data
analysis spreadsheets that easily analyze the data
on student travel modes and parent attitudes about
walking and bicycling to school. Data collection will
be conducted twice, once at the beginning of the
School Plan project and once at the end. The team
will summarize these findings into the Outreach and
Engagement Memo.
Task 1.3.4 SRTS Workshops
The Alta team will conduct up to four (4) virtual SRTS
Workshops (or in-person if requested) for school
staff, parents, law enforcement, fire department, and
other stakeholders. The workshops will be based on
the National SRTS Course from the National Center
for Safe Routes to School, of which SRTS Specialist
Kristin Haukom is a National Instructor. The workshops’
purpose will be to introduce the School Plan project
and educate on the 6 E’s of SRTS (Engagement,
Equity, Encouragement, Education, Engineering, and
Evaluation). The COVID-19 pandemic has taught us
that virtual meetings, broadcasted through various
platforms, are the best way to engage with project
stakeholders, including those who are typically
unable to attend community events due to lack of
transportation, childcare, work conflicts, or language
barriers. All workshops will be conducted in English with
Spanish interpretation available.
Alta excels at community outreach and
engagement whether it is in-person at
public events and open house workshops,
or through online open houses, maps
and surveys, and virtual stakeholder
meetings. Our expertise with virtual
engagement will see that participants
feel connected to the project and each
other while maintaining energy and
focus on project needs.
Alta created a suite of outreach materials for the Pacific Electric
Trail Expansion Feasibility Study that were used to engage with community stakeholders at a variety of events, including Rialto’s
Annual Bike Rodeo.

35ALTA PLANNING + DESIGN, INC.RFP no. 2023-RFP-212 Vision Zero Strategy(Roadway Safety Planning & Public Engagement)
Task 1.3.5 School Walk Audits
Alta will lead school and City staff, parents/caregivers,
residents, and other interested stakeholders on a
walking audit of each of the eight (8) School Plan project
school sites during the morning arrival or afternoon
dismissal period. The purpose of these walk audits
is to observe conditions and behaviors and identify
challenges or impediments that currently limit walking
and biking. The walk audits will be an opportunity
to verify existing conditions of facilities and will be
supported by Spanish-speaking staff when appropriate.
Alta will work with each school community to notice
these walk audits through their normal communication
channels (i.e., e-blasts, flyers, PeachJar, etc.).
In addition to the in-person walk audits, Alta will provide
community members who are unable to participate
in the walk audit with another way to provide input,
such as through a web-based mapping tool where
participants can “pin” locations and write the issues or
concerns for the marked location. The findings from
each walk audit, including stakeholder feedback and
photos, will be incorporated into a Walk Audit Report.
Task 1.3.6 Pop-Up Workshops
Alta knows the importance of meeting people where
they are at and will conduct “pop-up workshops” at up
to three (3) public events, such as farmer’s markets,
community fairs, or local parks, to provide information
and solicit feedback from the community on the School
Plan.
Task 1.3.7 Outreach and Engagement Summary
Memo
Alta will compile an Outreach and Engagement
Summary Memo that will have a description of the
outreach and engagement and stakeholder involvement
in development of the plan, including outreach to
defined underserved communities, number and location
of meetings, number of attendees, interpretation
services provided, and summary of feedback received.
The Outreach and Engagement Summary Memo will
be designed to allow components/feedback to be
easily incorporated into future grant applications and
be structured as a framework to be updated throughout
the course of the project, incorporating input as
engagement tasks are completed.
Task 1.3 Deliverables
• Outreach and Engagement Plan
• Project website, survey, and Memo on Virtual
Engagement
• PowerPoint presentation and photos
• Student Travel Tallies and Parent Surveys Analysis
Memo
• Four (4) virtual SRTS Workshops
• Walk Audit Reports for project schools
• Photos, outreach materials
• “Pop-up workshops” at up to three (3) public events
• Outreach and Engagement Summary Memo, draft and
final
Alta has extensive experience leading walking audits. These audits allow us to closely observe pick-up and drop-off circulation patterns
and gather first-person information about people’s experiences walking and bicycling near school campuses. We will use this
input to identify safety issues and countermeasures to address the problems.

36ALTA PLANNING + DESIGN, INC.RFP no. 2023-RFP-212 Vision Zero Strategy(Roadway Safety Planning & Public Engagement)
Alta’s Stakeholder Engagement Approach
Our team of professionals are experts at listening
to the public, conveying technical issues in a clear
manner, offering distinct choices and options to
the public, and explaining trade-offs. We use a
variety of innovative techniques, ranging from
online surveys, the use of photo-simulation,
videotaped interviews, field reviews, GIS mapping,
and interactive public workshops—led virtually or
in-person. We make contact with the community
early and build confidence by addressing
specific issues with a documented approach. Our
engagement approach will focus on the following
objectives:
• Leveraging relationships and the team’s existing
community connections to engage the public.
• Creating excitement around the project through
consistent and agile media engagement on both
traditional and digital platforms.
• Communicating in clear and simple language
that is accessible to all levels of English
proficiency and easily translatable to other
languages.
• Prioritizing transportation equity for vulnerable
populations including the young or the elderly,
those with physical disabilities, or with social
constructs such as race, ethnicity, poverty, or
people who speak different languages.
• Keeping stakeholders informed throughout the
process and creating a feedback loop so they
can clearly identify where and how their input
was used.
• Developing a vision for Palm Desert that is
founded in community input and transparent
decision-making.
• Setting the groundwork for implementation by
strengthening connections between the City of
Palm Desert and Stakeholders.

Task 1.4 Advisory Committee
Early stakeholder engagement in the School Plan
development is crucial to building buy-in and hearing
about concerns from the community. Therefore, Alta will
facilitate convening a School Plan Advisory Committee
within a few months of the project kick-off. Alta will be
responsible for creating and disseminating agendas,
outlining the role the committee will serve over the
course of the project, and preparing presentations that
will help committee members make decisions on key
project outcomes, such as project prioritization. We will
also use these meetings as opportunities to provide
SRTS technical assistance related to quick and easily
implementable SRTS strategies that will serve as “early
wins.”
In collaboration with the City, Alta will compile a list
of invitees to participate in a School Plan Advisory
Committee. The list will likely include, but is not limited
to:
• Indian Wells and La Quinta City staff
• Caltrans District 8 staff
• Riverside County Transportation Commission
• Riverside University Health System (Riverside
County’s public health department)
• School and district staff
• Law enforcement
• Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG)
• Community non-profits
Alta will prepare School Plan Advisory Committee
meeting agendas and meeting notes. The School Plan
Advisory Committee will meet a maximum of six times
throughout the project. The School Plan Advisory
Committee will advise the project team on potential
project and programmatic recommendations that align
with their goals.
The School Plan Advisory Committee will also provide
input prior to major engagement activities and will
review key project deliverables prior to posting to the
public or decision-makers.
Task 1.4 Deliverables
• School Plan Advisory Committee invite list
• School Plan Advisory Committee meetings,
presentations, agendas, and notes for up to six (6)
meetings
Task 1.5 Crossing Guard Analysis
Alta understands the importance of school Crossing
Guards to help students safely cross the street at
key locations and remind drivers of the presence
of pedestrians. Alta is a leader in Crossing Guard
assessment, prioritization, and training. Our SRTS
Specialist, Kristin Haukom, is the lead author of
the California School Crossing Guard Training
Guidelines from the California Department of Public
Health (CDPH) and Caltrans. Kristin is also their lead
Crossing Guard instructor, which includes conducting
trainings for Crossing Guards throughout California
and advising CDPH and Caltrans on Crossing Guard
training and assessment procedures. With Kristin’s
expertise, along with technical support from our
accomplished engineers, Alta will help the City develop
a methodology to prioritize the quantity and locations of
Crossing Guards that meets the needs and constraints
of the City and the school district, while also aligning
with the CAMUTCD. Using this methodology, the team
will conduct an in-depth analysis of current locations
of Crossing Guards and make recommendations for
maintaining, changing, or adding Crossing Guard
locations. The team will use the California School
Crossing Guard Training Guidelines to identify and
assess Crossing Guard training needs. The Guidelines
will be referenced and included as a resource in the
Crossing Guard Prioritization Memo.
Task 1.5 Deliverables
• Crossing Guard Prioritization Memo

Task 1.6: Recommendation and Prioritization
Task 1.6.1 Recommendations and Cost Estimates
Alta has over 20 years of experience developing SRTS
recommendations. We will lean on that experience
to integrate the information collected throughout
the project, including existing conditions analyses,
information from the School Plan Advisory Committee
and stakeholder outreach and engagement, to develop
infrastructure improvement recommendations within a
half-mile radius of each project school.
Our team will make feasible, implementable
recommendations that will improve the non-motorized
transportation network for students and parents to walk
and bike to school safely and conveniently.
Recommendations will include preliminary cost
estimates that align with the requirements of the
Caltrans Active Transportation Program and SS4A, so
that the recommendations can be incorporated into
future grant applications for implementation.
Task 1.6.2 Project Prioritization
Understanding the importance of equity and to ensure
that underserved communities are prioritized, we
will create an equity-framed and data-driven Project
Prioritization Methodology that meets the needs of
the City and school districts, as well as yields projects
that are positioned well for SRTS project funds through
Caltrans ATP, or other funding mechanisms such as
City funds. The Project Prioritization Methodology may
also be used to identify “bundled” projects (projects
combined for safety need or to facilitate implementation)
or school-specific projects, depending on input from
stakeholders and engineering judgment.
Alta’s specialized planning and engineering staff
will coordinate to develop a series of on-street and
on-campus infrastructure recommendations. Alta
will assess each school for four different scales of
recommended improvements:
1. Low-cost on-campus improvements that can
enhance safety and SRTS visibility.
2. On-campus improvements that require additional
funding/coordination.
3. Low-cost, on-street changes that require minimal
coordination and are relatively simple to implement.
4. Large scale, on-street changes that require great
coordination, community engagement, or funding.
All infrastructure recommendations will be informed by
existing conditions information, walk audits, stakeholder
input, and professional judgment. This process will
result in infrastructure recommendations that, once
implemented, will support access to safe, convenient,
and healthy modes of transportation for students,
families, and residents.
Task 1.6.3 Suggested Route Maps
Using the School Plan Advisory Committee and
stakeholder input, school recommendations, and
walk audit observations, Alta will develop Suggested
Routes Maps for each project school with suggested
routes for families to walk or bicycle to and from school.
The maps will show suggested walking routes for
elementary schools and suggested walking and biking
(as appropriate) routes for middle and high schools. The
suggested routes-to-school maps will display school
locations, surrounding streets, sidewalks and pathways
within a half-mile from school, as well as other relevant
information such as stop signs, crossing guard locations,
and park and walk locations. Maps will also include
safety tips for drivers and active transportation users.
Alta will solicit feedback on the suggested school
routes maps from City and school staff via email. Once
feedback is received, Alta will finalize the suggested
school routes map. The Suggested Routes Maps will be
available in English and Spanish and will be shared with
the schools digitally.

39ALTA PLANNING + DESIGN, INC.RFP no. 2023-RFP-212 Vision Zero Strategy(Roadway Safety Planning & Public Engagement)
Task 1.6.4 Programmatic Recommendations
Alta will prepare engagement, equity, encouragement,
education, and evaluation program recommendations
to complement the infrastructure recommendations to
promote a culture that embraces active transportation
throughout Palm Desert. These recommendations may
include, but are not limited to: park and walk drop-off
locations; walking school buses; bicycle trains; walk/
bicycle to school days; and/or in-classroom pedestrian/
bicycle safety and encouragement education. Programs
will be informed through the outreach and engagement
described in Task 1.3 and will address any projects the
City and school district will be implementing that will
affect any recommendations. They will also consider
countermeasures to address behaviors that cause
collisions, based on behavior change theory and the
crash data analyzed in Task 1.2.
Task 1.6 Deliverables
• Infrastructure improvement recommendations, maps,
and cost estimates
• Project Prioritization Methodology and prioritized
network map
• Suggested Routes Maps
• Programmatic recommendations
Task 1.7 Draft and Final Strategy
Alta will prepare a Draft School Plan for City staff review.
The Draft School Plan will be aligned with the Caltrans
Active Transportation Program and SS4A guidance, so
that the projects are “grant ready,” and will include a
summary of actionable next steps for implementing the
project recommendations. The Draft School Plan will
provide a framework and guide for future SRTS efforts.
The Draft School Plan process begins with a detailed
outline. Alta will submit the outline to City staff for
review. The Draft School Plan outline is expected to
include, but not be limited to:
• Introduction
• Project Background and Need
• Summary of Data Collection Activities and Findings
• Summary of Outreach and Engagement Strategies
and Findings
• School-Specific Findings and Recommendations
• Crossing Guards Assessment
• Short-Term/Low-Cost Recommendations and Long-
Term/Higher Cost Recommendations
• Implementation and Next Steps
• Priority Projects by School (including description,
location, cost estimates, and timeline)
• Recommended Next Steps (including Short-Term/
Low-Cost Recommendations, such as policy and
procedure recommendations)
• Potential Funding Sources
Once the City has approved the outline, Alta will
develop the Draft School Plan document in MS Word
and submit it to the City for review. Alta will review one
set of consolidated internally consistent comments in a
track changes MS Word document. Based on City staff
comments on the Draft School Plan, Alta will address
any outstanding issues in order to complete the Final
School Plan.
Task 1.7 Deliverables
• Draft School Plan Outline
• Draft School Plan
• Final School Plan
Task 1.8: City Council Review and Approval
In collaboration with the City, Alta will prepare a
PowerPoint presentation highlighting the data
collection, outreach and engagement, and prioritization
processes used to compile the Final School Plan. Alta
will conduct one (1) presentation to the City Council.
Alta will solicit feedback during this presentation and
respond to questions. This presentation and supporting
documentation will serve as the basis for the City
Council to adopt the Final School Plan.
Per direction from City staff, Alta will provide relevant
content for staff to complete staff reports in advance of
this presentation.
Task 1.8 Deliverables
• Presentation
• City Council adoption of the Final School Plan

Strategy 2: Safe Routes for Seniors Plan
The Palm Desert Safe Routes for Seniors Plan (Seniors
Plan) will establish innovative and implementable
recommendations for creating safer, more comfortable
transportation options for older adults, including
walking, bicycling, public transit, and other alternatives
for aging drivers. Through targeted, meaningful
community engagement and analysis of existing
conditions, the Seniors Plan will identify barriers that
seniors face when getting to and from their destinations.
Throughout the planning process, key stakeholders and
Palm Desert seniors will have opportunities to share
their concerns, experiences, and ideas for improving
mobility in the city.
The City’s Local Road Safety Plan indicates that 50%
of collisions involve aging drivers (age 65 years or
older), much higher than the State average of 13%.
Given the city’s large population of seniors and retirees,
this Seniors Plan will be key in helping reduce these
collisions and improving safety for all road users
citywide.
Based on our experience working on similar Safe
Routes for Seniors efforts, Alta will create a Seniors Plan
that addresses the following objectives:
• Analyze existing transportation infrastructure and
programs for seniors in Palm Desert
• Engage with a diverse group of stakeholders and
senior community members to shape the Seniors Plan.
• Develop a Seniors Plan that includes both
infrastructure and programmatic recommendations
that are primed for grants and implementation.
The following tasks provide an overview of Alta’s scope
of work for the Seniors Plan. For all deliverables, it is
assumed that the City will circulate drafts to all relevant
departments and agencies for one consolidated and
consistent set of comments.
Task 2.1 Existing Conditions
Alta will begin work on the Seniors Plan by collecting
and analyzing a variety of data.
Task 2.1.1 Plan, Policy, and Program Review
With input from the City, Alta will collect and review
existing plans, policies, and programs related to older
adult mobility in Palm Desert. Existing plans will likely
include, but not be limited to:
• Palm Desert General Plan
• Envision Palm Desert Strategic Plan
• Palm Desert Local Road Safety Plan
• SCAG’s Connect SoCal
• The State’s Master Plan for Aging
Findings will be included in the Existing Conditions
Memorandum.
Task 2.1.2 Data Collection
Alta will compile background and existing conditions
data on seniors (e.g., key destinations, demographics,
health), identify opportunities and constraints as well
as standards by which recommended updates will
be set to guide the preparation of the Seniors Plan,
and include existing land uses, current and projected
housing and land use development, population
characteristics, and travel projections.
At the outset of the project, Alta will prepare a data
request memo identifying key data needs such as
existing and previously proposed infrastructure
projects, current mode share, description of land
use and destinations, existing public transit, existing
wayfinding, and existing non-infrastructure programs.
This memo will be shared with the City Project Manager
and the City will supply available data and documents
that are not publicly available or that the project team
does not have from previous work in Palm Desert. The
findings of these analyses will be compiled into the
Existing Conditions Memorandum.
As part of the Santa Monica Active Aging Program, Alta conducted a transit outing and bicycle outing to promote and demonstrate safe active transportation for seniors.
Page 312 of 413
41ALTA PLANNING + DESIGN, INC.RFP no. 2023-RFP-212 Vision Zero Strategy(Roadway Safety Planning & Public Engagement)
Task 2.1.3 Traffic Counts
Alta will collect traffic counts at three (3) locations in
Palm Desert frequented by senior pedestrians and
bicyclists. Count collection will be scheduled based on
seasonal fluctuations to capture the maximum number
of active trips made by seniors and include at least 12
hours of counts per location on a typical weekday and
a Saturday. Locations will be identified with input from
the City, ideally in senior priority areas that feature key
destinations such as senior centers, senior housing,
and more. Additionally, when relevant, counts data from
Task 1.1.4 (Data Collection for the School Plan) may also
be used to capture senior activity in school areas. Traffic
counts information will be used to assess demand
that can inform areas for improvement and prioritize
potential projects. The findings of the traffic counts will
be provided in the Existing Conditions Memo.
Task 2.1.4 Existing Conditions Maps and
Memorandum
Alta has extensive experience preparing
comprehensive base maps that illustrate important
information in a cohesive and clear manner. We will
prepare base maps for the three (3) areas surrounding
the traffic count locations to show the physical
conditions and travel information such as transit routes,
improvement plans, and key destinations. We will further
compile all materials developed in other tasks into the
Existing Conditions Memorandum.
Task 2.1 Deliverables:
• Existing Conditions Memorandum
• Traffic counts at three (3) locations
• Base maps for three (3) traffic counts areas
Task 2.2 Collisions and Gaps Analysis
Task 2.2.1 Collisions Analysis
Alta will conduct a bicycle and pedestrian collision
analysis using the most currently available 10-year
Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS)
data available. This analysis will include the total number
of collisions by user type (bicyclist or pedestrian),
document the top five intersections with the highest
bicycle and pedestrian collisions, and include the top
five most common collision factor causes. Building
on this, the Alta team will combine the collision data
analysis performed through the Local Road Safety Plan
with the most recent SWITRS data and supplemental
data provided by City staff. The findings will be
summarized and included in the Collisions and Gaps
Analysis Memorandum.
Task 2.2.2 Challenges, Needs, and Gaps Analysis
and Memo
Building on the deliverables from Task 2.1, Alta will
conduct an analysis of infrastructure gaps and needs.
This analysis will quantify factors that impact walking
and bicycling activity, locate network gaps as potential
recommendations (Task 2.5), and identify areas with
specific characteristics. This analysis will consider
roadways and trails within the city. Alta will use data
about existing multimodal infrastructure to develop an
understanding of how well destinations and areas of
demand are connected for seniors who want to walk
and bike for both transportation and recreation. It will
also consider how the City’s local networks connect to
regional networks.
Alta will use these analyses to identify:
• Gaps in existing bicycle networks, intersection
crossing needs, and other conflict points;
• Gaps in pedestrian networks, such as sidewalk gaps,
crossing needs in areas with pedestrian activity or at
crossings of streets and other public rights-of-way;
and
• New trail opportunities along waterways, other
infrastructure rights-of-way, or adjacent to public
street rights-of-way.
Alta will synthesize the gaps and needs into maps,
tables, and narrative that describe these gaps and
needs. Information from the public outreach process will
also be integrated into this process. This gap analysis
will be summarized in the Collisions and Gaps Analysis
Memorandum.
Task 2.2 Deliverables:
• Collisions and Gaps Analysis Memorandum (Draft and
Final)

Task 2.3 Outreach and Engagement
Task 2.3.1 Outreach and Engagement Plan
Alta has extensive experience with outreach and
engagement in Palm Desert and surrounding
communities and understands the importance of
developing materials and conducting activities in
English and Spanish. The Alta team, with input from the
City, will prepare a detailed Outreach and Engagement
Plan that includes community engagement tools to
be used and activities to be held throughout the
development of the Seniors Plan. The Outreach and
Engagement Plan will consist of a strategy to fully
engage underserved communities, including outreach
in multiple languages and means to reach groups
that may not participate in traditional planning events.
The Plan will also include key stakeholders and target
audiences, anticipated outcomes, and proposed
engagement strategy timelines.
Task 2.3.2 Engagement Tools
The Alta team will develop written content for a Seniors
Plan project webpage on the City’s website and social
media platforms. The purpose of this content will be to
promote outreach and education materials, surveys,
workshops, walk audits, the Draft Seniors Plan, and
eventually the Final Seniors Plan.
The website will also allow stakeholders to submit
feedback through a community survey and an online
mapping tool. Alta will leverage our experience working
on other Safe Routes for Seniors projects to develop
a survey that asks about senior needs, priorities, and
ideas for improving mobility and transportation in Palm
Desert. The survey will be available in English and
Spanish, both on the webpage and in paper format.
Surveys may be distributed at key destinations and
with help from key partners, such as The Joslyn Center.
Additionally, Alta will develop an online mapping tool,
to be embedded on or linked to on the webpage,
that allows community members and stakeholders to
identify barriers and ideas for improvements in Palm
Desert. Participants will be able to leave comments,
draw in preferred routes, and more.
Task 2.3.3 Community Workshops
Alta will conduct up to four (4) in-person and virtual
workshops for seniors and other Seniors Plan
stakeholders. The purpose of the workshops will be
to introduce the Seniors Plan project, gather input on
barriers and opportunities for improvements, keep
people informed about the planning process, and later
in the project, confirm that recommendations address
stakeholder concerns and gap/safety issues. The
COVID-19 pandemic taught us that virtual meetings,
broadcasted through various platforms, are the best
way to engage with project stakeholders, including
those who are typically unable to attend community
events due to lack of transportation, work conflicts, or
language barriers. However, we also know, through our
experience working on related Safe Routes for Seniors
projects, that many older adults face technological
barriers and prefer in-person engagement. With that
said, we propose that two (2) of the workshops be held
in-person and two (2) be held virtually to reach a wider
audience.
The structure of the workshops will likely include a brief
presentation on the project background, goals, and
planning process, and stations or breakout rooms where
participants can learn more about specific Seniors Plan
components, such as existing conditions. All workshops
will be conducted in English with Spanish and sign
language interpretation will be available if needed.
Alta assisted the City of Santa Monica with the development of their website for their Active Aging Pilot Program utilizing the
City’s website to communicate updates on the pilot and ways the community could participate.

Task 2.3.4 Senior Walk Audits
The Alta team will lead three (3) walk audits of each of
the senior areas identified in Task 2.1.3 and Task 2.1.4.
Walk audit participants will include senior residents,
partners, City staff, and other key stakeholders. The
purpose of these walk audits is to observe conditions
and behaviors and identify challenges or impediments
that currently limit walking, biking, and taking public
transit. The walk audits will be an opportunity to verify
existing conditions and will be supported by Spanish-
speaking staff when appropriate.
In addition to the in-person walk audits, the Alta team
will provide community members who are unable to
participate in the walk audit with another way to give
input, such as through the mapping tool described in
Task 2.3.2. The findings from each walk audit, including
feedback and photos, will be incorporated into a Walk
Audit Report.
Task 2.3.5 Pop-Up Workshops
The Alta team knows the importance of meeting people
where they are, particularly to reach those seniors who
may not typically attend City events and meetings.
Because of this, we will conduct “pop-up workshops” at
up to three (3) public events, such as farmer’s markets,
community/resource fairs, or local parks, to inform and
solicit feedback from the community on the Seniors
Plan.
Task 2.3.6 Outreach and Engagement Summary
Memorandum
Alta will develop an Outreach and Engagement
Summary Memorandum that will have a description
of stakeholder involvement in development of the
plan, including outreach to defined underserved
communities, number and location of meetings,
number of attendees, translation services provided,
and summary of feedback received. The Outreach
and Engagement Summary Memorandum will be
designed to allow components/feedback to be easily
incorporated into future grant applications and be
structured as a framework to be updated throughout
the course of the project, incorporating input as
engagement tasks are completed. Findings from the
memo will feed directly into recommendations and
prioritization (Task 2.5).
Task 2.3 Deliverables:
• Outreach and Engagement Plan
• Project website
• Survey
• Virtual Engagement Memorandum
• PowerPoint presentation and photos
• Four (4) Senior Workshops
• Walk Audit Reports
• Photos
• Outreach materials
• “Pop-up workshops” at up to three (3) public events
In Santa Monica, Alta staff facilitated a series of walk audits with senior residents to get input on challenges and barriers to walking,
biking, and taking transit in the city.
As part of the Santa Monica Active Aging Pilot Program, Alta staff
conducted a series of pop-up tabling events at key destinations for seniors, such as the Santa Monica Public Library, WISE, and Healthy
Aging senior center.

Task 2.4 Advisory Committee
Stakeholder engagement early in the Seniors Plan
development is crucial to building buy-in and hearing
about concerns from the senior community. Therefore,
the Alta team will convene a Safe Routes for Seniors
Advisory Committee within a few months of the project
kick-off. Alta will be responsible for creating and
disseminating agendas, outlining the role the committee
will serve over the course of the project, and preparing
presentations that will help committee members make
decisions on key project outcomes, such as project
prioritization.
In collaboration with the City, we will compile a list
of invitees to participate in the Advisory Committee.
The list will likely include, but is not limited to,
representatives from:
• City staff, such as from Public Works and Housing
• Caltrans District 8 staff
• Riverside County Transportation Commission
• Riverside University Health System (Riverside
County’s public health department)
• Coachella Valley Association of Governments
• Local community-based organizations, such as The
Joslyn Center
• Senior residents of Palm Desert
• SunLine Transit Agency
• Law enforcement
Alta will prepare Safe Routes for Seniors Advisory
Committee meeting agendas and meeting notes. The
Advisory Committee will meet virtually a maximum of
six (6) times throughout the project and will advise the
project team on potential projects and programmatic
recommendations that align with their goals. The
Advisory Committee will also provide input prior to
major engagement activities and will review key project
deliverables prior to sharing them with the public or
decision-makers.
Task 2.4 Deliverables
• Safe Routes for Seniors Advisory Committee invite list
• Safe Routes for Seniors Advisory Committee
meetings, presentations, agendas, and notes for up to
six (6) virtual meetings
Task 2.5 Recommendation and Prioritization
Task 2.5.1 Recommendations and Cost Estimates
Building on the existing conditions analyses, feedback
from the Safe Routes for Seniors Advisory Committee,
and input from extensive stakeholder engagement,
Alta will develop infrastructure recommendations within
each area identified for Task 2.1.3 (Traffic Counts) and
2.1.4 (Existing Conditions Maps and Memorandum).
Our team will make feasible, implementable
recommendations that will improve the existing active
transportation network for seniors to walk, bike, and
take transit to their destinations safely and conveniently.
Recommendations will be provided in project lists
(tables) and shown in maps.
All infrastructure recommendations will be informed
by existing condition data, walk audits, stakeholder
input, and Alta’s professional expertise. The result
of will be infrastructure recommendations that, once
implemented, will support access to safe, convenient,
and healthy modes of transportation for students,
families, and residents. Recommendations will
include preliminary cost estimates that align with the
requirements of the Caltrans Active Transportation
Program and Safe Streets for All, so that the
recommendations can be easily incorporated into future
grant applications for implementation.
Older adults in Santa Monica were assisted with reading transit maps, using transit passes, planning trips, and more during group
outings over the course of the Santa Monica Active Aging Program.

Task 2.5.2 Project Prioritization
Understanding the importance of equity and to ensure
that underserved communities are prioritized, the team
will create an equity-framed and data-driven project
prioritization methodology that meets the needs of the
City. The methodology may include, but not be limited
to, the following criteria:
• Safety
• Connectivity
• Gap Closure
• Equity
• Feasibility
• Cost
The list of prioritized projects will serve as a guide for
the City when implementing improvements in future
years. This list will yield projects that are positioned
well for funding through Caltrans ATP and other funding
mechanisms. The project prioritization methodology
may also be used to identify “bundled” projects
(projects combined for safety need or to facilitate
implementation), depending on input from stakeholders
and engineering judgment.
Task 2.5.3 Suggested Route Maps
Using the Safe Routes for Seniors Advisory Committee
and stakeholder input, infrastructure recommendations,
and walk audit observations, Alta will develop
Suggested Routes Maps for the senior areas identified
in Task 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 to help seniors more easily and
safely walk, bicycle, and take transit throughout the
City. The Suggested Routes Maps will display key
destinations like libraries, parks, and pharmacies;
streets, sidewalks, and pathways; transit routes; existing
and proposed bikeways; and more. Maps will also
include safety tips for aging drivers and senior active
transportation users.
Alta will solicit feedback on the Suggested Routes Maps
from City and Advisory Committee before finalizing the
maps. The Suggested Routes Maps will be available in
English and Spanish and will be shared with the public
both digitally and in paper copies. Alta assumes that the
City will handle printing of the maps.
Task 2.5.4 Programmatic Recommendations
Alta will prepare engagement, equity, encouragement,
education, and evaluation program recommendations
to complement the infrastructure recommendations
and promote a culture that embraces active
transportation throughout Palm Desert. Programmatic
recommendations will be informed through the outreach
and engagement described in Task 2.3 and may include
but are not limited to:
• Education for aging drivers
• Pedestrian/bicycle/transit safety classes
• Transportation technology classes (e.g., trip planning)
• Group walks, bike rides, and transit outings
• Direct support programs
• Senior mobility resources fair
Task 2.5 Deliverables
• Infrastructure improvement recommendations, maps,
and cost estimates
• Project Prioritization Methodology and prioritized
network map
• Suggested Routes Maps
• Programmatic recommendations
Alta developed a Walk, Bike, & Transit map tailored to Santa
Monica seniors, which included suggested routes, safety tips, and other resources.

Task 2.6 Draft and Final Strategy
Based on Tasks 2.1 through 2.5, Alta will prepare a Draft
Seniors Plan for City staff review. The Draft Seniors
Plan will be aligned with Caltrans Active Transportation
Program and SS4A requirements and will include a
summary of actionable next steps for implementation.
The Draft Seniors Plan will provide a framework and
guide for future Safe Routes for Seniors efforts.
The Draft Seniors Plan process will begin with a
detailed outline, to be submitted to City staff for review,
expected to include but not limited to:
• Project Background and Need
• Summary of Data Collection Activities and Findings
• Summary of Outreach and Engagement Strategies
and Findings
• Infrastructure and Programmatic Recommendations
• Short-Term/Low-Cost Recommendations and Long-
Term/Higher Cost Recommendations
• Priority Projects (including description, location, cost
estimates, and timeline)
• Implementation and Next Steps, including Potential
Funding Sources
Once the City has approved the outline, Alta will
develop the Draft Seniors Plan and submit it to the
City for review in MS Word. Alta will review one set
of consolidated and consistent comments using
track changes and commenting in MS Word. Once
these revisions are received, Alta will address any
outstanding issues and develop a Public Draft Seniors
Plan in Adobe InDesign. The Public Draft will be
shared with community members and stakeholders
through the project webpage and at outreach events,
and it will be shared with the Safe Routes for Seniors
Advisory Committee. Based on input received through
engagement and the Advisory Committee, Alta will
update and export a Final Seniors Plan.
Task 2.6 Deliverables
• Draft Seniors Plan
• Public Draft Seniors Plan
• Final Seniors Plan
Task 2.7 City Council Review and Approval
In collaboration with City staff, Alta will prepare
a PowerPoint presentation highlighting the data
collection, outreach and engagement, and prioritization
processes used to compile the Final Seniors Plan. Alta
will conduct one (1) presentation to the Palm Desert City
Council. Alta will solicit feedback on the Plan during this
presentation and respond to any questions from Council
Members. This presentation will serve as the basis
for the City Council to adopt the Final Seniors Plan.
Per direction from City staff, Alta will provide relevant
content for staff to complete staff reports in advance
of this presentation. Following adoption of the Plan, a
resolution will be added to the Final Seniors Plan.
Task 2.7 Deliverables
• Presentation
• City Council adoption of the Final Seniors Plan

Strategy 3: Public Engagement and Activation
As creative partners with extensive experience in
the City of Palm Desert, Idea Peddler understands
and appreciates the breadth of Palm Desert’s unique
audiences. With full-time and seasonal residents,
visitors old and new, Idea Peddler recognizes that to
change the culture of driving, walking, and biking for
better safety, they will need to develop an audience-
centered approach.
Idea Peddler’s creative approach and media savvy
will work in tandem with Alta’s traffic safety expertise
to build and deliver a campaign that both resonates
with community members and is backed by research
and best practices. Alta’s Programs Team, which is
dedicated to transportation behavior change and traffic
safety campaigns, will support Idea Peddler throughout
Strategy 3, bringing together the best of both worlds.
Tapping into the successful approaches that created
the award winning UNITE Palm Desert campaign,
Idea Peddler, in partnership with the City and Alta, will
create a campaign that is deeply rooted in community,
informed by data, and ultimately results in tangible
outcomes to improve safe active transportation in Palm
Desert.
Task 3.1 Campaign Goals and Objectives
The City of Palm Desert is not just a geographic
location; it’s a tapestry of diverse lifestyles, cultures, and
experiences. Its streets see the hustle of residents, the
leisurely pace of vacationers, and the curiosity of first-
time visitors. Just as each group interacts with the city
differently, their perception, habits, and understanding
of the infrastructure are unique. This context forms the
foundation of our approach.
To create a memorable and effective campaign aimed
at promoting safe and comfortable active transportation
within Palm Desert, the approach will focus on
raising awareness, educating residents and visitors,
and encouraging the use of active transportation
infrastructure. Idea Peddler will launch a Discovery
Meeting with key City staff and stakeholders to
ensure alignment and synchronicity from inception to
execution. The agenda for this meeting will including
the following, resulting in a clear list of objectives,
opportunities, and a roadmap to the next steps:
• Initial presentation: An overview of existing active
transportation campaigns regionally and globally,
showcasing successes and lessons learned.
• Open dialogue: City staff to share their vision,
concerns, expectations, and any preliminary data.
• Stakeholder perspective: Invite a few representatives
from different demographics (full- and part-time
residents, a regular visitor) for a quick panel
discussion. Their insights will offer a preview of the
larger audience sentiment.
Moreover, we propose that a strong creative brief
(the desired deliverable for this task) include insights
from this diverse mix of residents and visitors. It is
important that we hear directly from the audience about
their current awareness, perceptions and barriers to
walking and bicycling in Palm Desert. With this first-
hand research, we will be prepared with the insights to
create an impactful and actionable Creative Brief. Our
approach for gathering these insights will include:
• Surveys: Digital surveys targeting different
demographic segments. Questions gauge their
current active transportation habits, awareness of
existing active transportation infrastructure, safety
concerns, and barriers to active transportation.
• Best Practices Collaboration: Working in collaboration
with Alta, we’ll have a workshop to dive into the
success and barriers to consumer behaviors around
safe biking in Palm Desert.
• Data Driven: Using data Alta has compiled for Safe
Routes plans, we will consider factors limiting use of
active transportation in Palm Desert.
As part of the UNITE Palm Desert campaign, Idea Peddler
partnered with a local artist to create a beautiful mural to launch
the campaign.
Page 319 of 413
48ALTA PLANNING + DESIGN, INC.RFP no. 2023-RFP-212 Vision Zero Strategy(Roadway Safety Planning & Public Engagement)
Using insights from the Discovery Meeting and
Consumer Insight Mining, we’ll draft a Creative Brief.
This document will serve as the blueprint for the entire
campaign. It will outline:
• Key insights about Palm Desert’s demographics and
active transportation characteristics.
• Main objectives of the campaign, both qualitative (e.g.,
change in perception or awareness) and quantitative
(e.g., increase in bike and walk counts by a given
percentage).
• Targeted strategies for each demographic (age,
house-hold income, etc.) and audience (residents,
visitors, part-time residents, etc.) ensuring each
message is tailored and relevant.
• Creative guidelines to maintain consistency and
resonance in all campaign materials.
City staff will have an opportunity to provide feedback
and revisions. We believe in a collaborative approach,
ensuring all voices are heard and incorporated. The
final draft of the Creative Brief Memorandum will
incorporate City staff feedback and be enriched with
insights directly from Palm Desert’s road users, ready to
guide a tailored, effective, and memorable Vision Zero
Campaign for the city.
Task 3.1 Deliverables
• Creative Brief Memorandum
Task 3.2 Ideation and Concept Development
To appeal to the City’s unique audiences, we will
develop a unifying voice that echoes the aspirations of
your community. Our approach to concept development
seeks to marry the ethos of Palm Desert with industry
best practices in a truly local campaign. Not only will we
aim to increase the awareness and education of where
and how to use the active transportation network in and
around Palm Desert, we will inspire behavior change
to promote a more safe and sustainable transportation
system. Our steps to success include:
• Organizing Community Listening Sessions: Using
workshops, surveys, or even digital engagement
platforms building on public and stakeholder
engagement activities conducted in Task 3.1. These
listening sessions with local residents will amplify
our knowledge of barriers, opportunities, and
perspectives related to active transportation in the
City and region, providing foundational knowledge for
the creative concepts we will develop in this task.
• Trend Analysis and Historic Immersion: We will
delve into current global and local advertising trends,
ensuring our campaign feels fresh and relevant. This
utilizes macro and micro trends both within the active
transportation safety sector as well as campaigns
rooted in similar ideas around engagement, health,
sustainability and connection. Moreover, we will
reflect on past campaigns, successes, and challenges
specific to Palm Desert. This will ensure continuity and
avoid redundancies. Given our breadth of work for
Palm Desert over the past 5 years, we have a trove of
information and assets to pull from to help continue
the unified look and feel for Palm Desert promotional
assets. This consistency will also be integral to
reaching each of the respective audiences of Palm
Desert and result in an expansive understanding of
what works and what does not.
Page 320 of 413
49ALTA PLANNING + DESIGN, INC.RFP no. 2023-RFP-212 Vision Zero Strategy(Roadway Safety Planning & Public Engagement)
• Concept Development: Using insights from
community interactions, trend analysis, and historic
immersion, our creative team will craft three
conceptual strategic approaches. These approaches
range from consumer challenges to benefit-focused
initiatives and potentially into aspirational efforts. Each
concept territory will encompass:
»Strategic Communication Anchor: The core
message that holds the campaign together. What
problem does it solve? What message does it
deliver? What is the core reason for being for the
campaign?
»Theme: The overarching narrative that weaves
various campaign elements coherently. This is
a moniker that holds the idea together for easy
understanding and reference.
»Visual Language: Color schemes, designs,
photographic styles, and iconographies that
resonate with Palm Desert’s spirit. What does it
borrow from? What is its antithesis? Where does
it intersect and digress from existing Palm Desert
work?
»Copy Treatment: The language, tone, and style
of communication. This may involve personifying
the brand to help understand the communication
style as though the campaign were a person.
»Mood Boards: A visual representation that
captures the essence of each theme. This may
include font, colors, existing campaigns in the
same sector or for the city itself or aspirational
tones and campaigns from other sectors.
These steps will result in the development of three
(3) robust and diverse creative approaches that we
will present to City staff. Our presentation will seek
to engage City staff in a feedback loop, and refining
concepts accordingly. Once a final concept is zeroed
in on, we will delve deeper into its execution strategy,
crafting scripts, planning shoots, and laying out a
roll-out plan. The ultimate outcome of this task will
be a chosen creative concept that feels right for Palm
Desert, refined and ready for execution. In the Creative
Concepts Memorandum, we will detail this chosen
concept, its various elements, execution strategy, and
showcasing how it will come alive in the streets of Palm
Desert, ensuring residents feel a sense of ownership
and pride every time they encounter it.
Task 3.2 Deliverables
• Finalized Creative Concepts Memorandum
Task 3.3 Content Creation
Palm Desert is not just a city; it’s a place of significance
to a range of unique audiences. Translating this into
effective and engaging content requires both strategic
foresight and creative brilliance. Drawing from our rich
history of partnering with Palm Desert, we are poised to
ensure the success of the City’s Vision Zero campaign.
Our content development process will include:
• Expertise and Collaboration: The campaign and
content creation will benefit from Alta’s unique subject
matter expertise in transportation behavior change
and more than a decade of experience implementing
traffic safety campaigns for public agency clients.
• Varied Mediums: We will develop a range of content
from striking visuals, captivating copy, to immersive
videos. Our in-house team will seamlessly produce
the entire content spectrum, ensuring consistency
in quality and brand voice across all channels. Our
creativity will be boundless across media; starting
with a video-first approach but creating a container
that can be translated to everything from social media
to city murals and even wayfinding signage and/or
murals.
• Asset Reuse and Reiteration: With an expansive
library from our prior campaigns, we are well-
equipped to leverage the existing resources and
create fresh content that feels familiar yet novel.

50ALTA PLANNING + DESIGN, INC.RFP no. 2023-RFP-212 Vision Zero Strategy(Roadway Safety Planning & Public Engagement)
Our content development will also be efficient,
adaptable, diverse, and inclusive, leveraging the
following strategies:
• Hero Shoots: We are experts at conducting efficient,
high-impact photoshoots that yield a multitude
of adaptable content. By planning meticulously,
we will capture diverse scenes in concise shoot
periods, maximizing resource utilization. During a
2-3 day shoot, our team of still photographers and
videographers will work with existing infrastructure
and local talent to shoot content that is both timely
and timeless.
• Adaptability: The content will be designed for easy
adaptation, ensuring a long shelf-life and versatility to
meet emerging needs or channels as the campaign
progresses. In post-production, we will utilize our
in-house animators and designers to develop 3D
animation and environment rendering, or to draw
attention to important and relevant information such
as wayfinding and signage.
• Diversity and Inclusivity: To ensure our campaign is
for the community and by the community, we will need
to create a campaign where they can see themselves.
To reflect the broad range of appearances and
abilities that make up Palm Desert, and secure
resident enthusiasm and engagement, it is imperative
that our campaign is representative. To enhance
accessibility, we will utilize high-contrast colors and
larger fonts for readability, and incorporate captions
in videos to accommodate deaf and hard-of-hearing
individuals. Additionally, we’ll ensure that all digital
platforms are compatible with assistive technologies
like screen readers. Alt-text will be provided for all
images, ensuring that visually impaired users receive
comprehensive information. We will also ensure
content is crafted in multiple languages with special
emphasis on Spanish to resonate with a broader
audience. Additionally, visual design elements will
capture the rich tapestry of cultures, histories, and
groups living in the city to ensure every Palm Desert
resident sees a reflection of themselves in our
campaign.
Additionally, our content creation will include targeted
outreach and multi-platform integration strategies to
maximize the campaign’s reach and impact:
• Audience Segmentation: Drawing from our qualitative
listening sessions, we will tailor our content strategy
to address the specific needs, preferences, and pain
points of distinct audience segments of all ages. Used
in a number of ways, the city’s active transportation
network will be promoted in a variety of edits, each
cut to support and represent the different segments
and use cases in Palm Desert’s audience.
• Engagement Channels: Recognizing that each
demographic interacts differently, we’ll deploy multi-
channel strategies across a spectrum from digital to
grassroots. Digital might include social and CTV for
digital natives while grassroots may tap into influential
locals like city officials, business owners, and various
community leaders. Traditional media may leverage
out-of-home to reach visitors and residents alike
or borrow local authenticity and community from
beloved radio DJs or print columnists. Opportunities
may exist for Alta and/or media partners to participate
in or lead culturally resonant events that create buzz
and community spirit such as Farmer’s Markets or
other community events at Civic Center Park or even
on CV Link itself.
• Digital Dominance: In tandem with other promotional
efforts, developing a strong online presence through
strategically placed digital video ads and vibrant
social media content will ensure Palm Desert’s
message reverberates in every digital corner.
Every content piece will be submitted to City staff for
review to ensure the content remains aligned with the
City’s vision and resonates with its inhabitants. The
Campaign Content Memorandum produced as the
product of this collaborative process will serve as a
comprehensive guide detailing major content pieces
created for the campaign. From high-resolution visuals,
copy drafts, video links, to a strategic recommendation
of intended platforms and usage, this document will be
the touchstone for all campaign-related content.

Task 3.4 Campaign Workflow
Our team takes project delivery and client satisfaction
seriously. We pride ourselves on clear communication,
professionalism, and smart work. We are committed
to on-time performance. Idea Peddler will coordinate
closely with Alta’s PM throughout the duration of the
project to ensure our well-ordered and integrated
workflow that builds upon and leverages our team’s
respective strengths to produce synergies and amplify
impacts.
Drawing upon our team’s wealth of effective campaign
and project delivery experience, we understand that
the success of any campaign is not just rooted in
the creativity of its content but in the precision of its
execution. Therefore, the Campaign Workflow is not just
a roadmap but a blueprint for our shared success.
Idea Peddler and Alta will employ some of the following
time-tested methods and strategies to ensure a well-
ordered, transparent, and accountable campaign
workflow with a steady cadence of milestones:
Scheduling Strategies:
• Initiation: Each task will have a firm start date following
approvals.
• Phased Campaigns: Our work will be structured in
sprints, with each phase focusing on a different facet
of the campaign, ensuring consistent engagement
and maximum impact.
• Rolling Launch: When appropriate we will test
campaign elements in limited capacities to refine
before the primary launch.
• Periodic Milestones: Such as major community
events, influencer partnerships, or any notable city
celebrations will be tracked to leverage and dovetail
with our campaign.
• Buffer Periods: These will be allocated for both
creation and review, ensuring content is always top-
notch and in line with the City’s vision while avoiding
schedule slippage.
• Detailed Gantt Chart: We will use our cloud-based
tools to develop an interactive Gantt chart assigning
responsibilities, deadlines, and dependencies
for every task, from ideation, content creation, to
community engagement events. The Gantt chart will
be aligned with our multi-channel approach detailing
how each content piece will be leveraged, from
Facebook posts to city-wide banners and community
events.
• Staggered Rollouts: Will be used to space content
releases and keep the campaign fresh and continually
in the audience’s mind.
• Sequential Workflow: Highlighting tasks that are
contingent on prior tasks’ completion ensures smooth
transitions and helps avoid bottlenecks.
• Periodic Updates: Our Gantt chart will be periodically
updated to reflect approved schedule changes and/
or critical path impacts beyond the project team’s
control. This schedule will be integrated with the
overall project schedule and inform regular project
reporting to City staff.
Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting Strategies:
• Clear Roles: Every team member from Idea Peddler
and Alta will know their precise role, fostering
accountability.
• Feedback Loops: We will schedule quick feedback
sessions after major campaign milestones to enable
continuous improvement.
• Regular Dashboards: We will develop dashboards for
use in the implementation phase that provide a visual
representation of the campaign’s impact, from reach
to engagement, shared periodically.
This collection of strategies will feed into the Campaign
Workflow Memorandum, which will be a well-crafted
document detailing all aspects of the workflow.
Accompanied by a visual timeline, this memorandum
will serve as the shared reference point for both Idea
Peddler and the City of Palm Desert, ensuring alignment
at every step.

Task 3.5 Campaign Implementation
The Alta team’s strength lies not just in crafting strategic
campaigns, but in ensuring their quality execution. In
addition to delivering the best in media, our team will
activate the campaign by reaching residents where
they live and play to send the messages home and
connect on a deeper, more personal level. With input
from stakeholders and the City, we will identify up to 4
events and/or community hubs for campaign activation.
Example event venues include the Farmers Market,
Community Center, Joslyn Center, Concerts in the Park,
or other frequented and trusted locations where we
can talk with residents about active transportation and
safety.
We want to go beyond reaching the self-selected
community members who might attend a workshop
or webinar to engage with the broader community
who may not seek out information on their own. At
these events or pop-ups, the Alta Team will invite
engagement through interactive activities with a focus
on active transportation and safety: this could include
anything from field day games to trivia with prizes to a
community art project, all designed with the intention
of educating, building community norms, and ultimately
changing transportation culture. From the outset the
City of Palm Desert can expect the following from Idea
Peddler and Alta’s engagement and activation efforts:
• Campaign Oversight: Our dedicated team ensures
every component aligns with the strategic vision.
We believe in the details and ensure nothing is
overlooked.
• Content Coordination: Our in-house content creators
and coordinators will ensure a consistent narrative
across all platforms, enhancing the City’s brand
presence.
• Quality Control: The assurance of quality is not just a
line item for us; it is an ethos. Every piece of content
undergoes rigorous checks for consistency, tone, and
alignment with campaign objectives.
• Channel Management: With expertise in multi-channel
campaigns, we ensure that the right content reaches
the right audience on the right platform. In fact, our
robust in-house media capabilities have historically
saved Palm Desert thousands of dollars in past
campaigns from limiting wasted impressions in bot
or other irrelevant traffic, as well as improved digital
programmatic bidding prices.
• Performance Monitoring and Real Time Engagement:
Using customized and on-demand reporting tools, we
track the campaign’s pulse in real-time, ensuring we’re
always in tune with its health and effectiveness. We
will make our client-facing dashboard readily available
for maximum transparency. This dashboard provides
reporting on a wide variety of trends and metrics
such as ranking of ad performance, impressions, click
through rates, comments, shares, reactions, video thru
play, and costs across a multitude of digital channels.
• Adaptation to Trends: In the ever-evolving digital
landscape, we stay ahead of the curve, tweaking
the campaign to harness emerging trends and
opportunities. In collaboration with Alta, we’ll continue
to ingest and deploy campaign optimizations and
trends based on both local and global findings as it
relates to this campaign as well as the Vision Zero
Strategy overall.

Our collective efforts in Task 3.5 will culminate in a
far-reaching yet targeted and tailored campaign that
catalyzes a cultural shift in Palm Desert’s transportation
landscape bringing awareness to the costs of the status
quo and the appeals of alternatives. We will document
the campaign’s planned channels, spend, tactics,
partners and estimated performance benchmarks in the
Campaign Implementation Memorandum that will serve
as the deliverable for this task.
Task 3.5 Deliverables
• Campaign Implementation Memorandum
Task 3.6: Performance Evaluation
Success isn’t linear, and neither is changing the culture
of transportation in Palm Desert. To deliver on the city’s
goals to make an immediate and memorable impact
on the community safely and comfortably using current
active transportation infrastructure, we must measure
the reach and impact of our campaign to understand its
effectiveness and contributions to the City’s task- and
project-level goals, objectives, and metrics, including
those established in collaboration with the City and
documented in earlier meetings and memoranda. This
evaluation will also guide campaign refinements in real-
time and serve as a guidepost for future campaigns in
the post-implementation phase.
Our Performance Evaluation strategies will include:
• Data Collection: Leveraging the best available digital
tracking tools, we’ll tag and capture all data points
from web to creative to understand the deepest
levels of every interaction, ensuring a comprehensive
understanding of audience behavior and creative
impact.
• Conversion Analysis: Beyond engagements, we focus
on tangible results, understanding how interactions
translate to real-world outcomes. We’ll incorporate a
post-campaign qualitative analysis to understand if we
achieved our goals and objectives outlined in the first
Task.
• Channel Effectiveness: Using granular data, we
identify the most effective channels, ensuring better
ROI in subsequent phases.
• Content Assessment: Through a combination
of sources including web, media and audience
engagement, we determine which content pieces
resonated the most.
• Lessons Learned: Every campaign is a treasure trove
of insights. We ensure every challenge and success
is documented, refining our strategy for subsequent
campaigns. Be it creative learnings, media channel, or
audiences, we are always crafting campaign reporting
that illuminates insights for future efforts.
• Reporting: We will create a detailed, yet digestible
Campaign Performance Evaluation Memorandum,
encapsulating the campaign’s journey from inception
to conclusion.
• Client Presentation: We believe in transparent, candid
conversations. Our post-campaign presentation to
the City will not just highlight successes, but also offer
insights into challenges and a roadmap for the future
helping chart next steps to achieving Vision Zero.
Task 3.6 Deliverables
• Campaign Performance Evaluation - Memorandum
• Campaign Performance Evaluation - Presentation
The Alta team has extensive experience leading strategy, implementation, and evaluation for media campaigns, including
social media and communications.

Strategy 4 Investment Strategy
Alta understands the critical importance of identifying
and prioritizing bicycle and pedestrian projects
that meet the City’s strategic objectives, include
broad support, are feasible, and are primed to win
discretionary funding opportunities such as those
available through USDOT’s SS4A Program and Caltrans‘
Active Transportation Program. Our work in Strategy
4 will focus on (1) consolidating active transportation
projects in existing plans and new ones from the School
and Seniors plans (2) developing a robust and equitable
project prioritization process informed by stakeholders
and grant criteria and (3) applying this process to
produce an Investment Strategy with at least $10 million
in improvements for the City Council’s ultimate approval
including accompanying project descriptions, cost
estimates, and preliminary concept maps for use in
future grant applications.
Task 4.1 Review and Consolidate Planning Documents
In this task the Alta team will review city, regional,
and state planning documents to identify active
transportation projects that are outstanding. In addition
to documents listed in the RFP, covering plans and
studies from the City and CVAG, our review will include
an exhaustive search of relevant documents such as:
• Caltrans District 8 Active Transportation Plan (2022)
• Riverside County Transportation Commission’s (RCTC)
Long Range Transportation Study (2019)
• RCTC Inland Empire Comprehensive Multimodal
Corridor Plan (2022 Update)
• Southern California Association of Government’s
Connect SoCal 2024 (plan due for public review and
comment in fall 2023)
Findings from this review will be combined in a
spreadsheet with newly produced recommendations
from the School and Seniors plans. As available,
each recommendation will be sorted by a variety of
attributes such as referenced planning document,
mode (ped, bike or both), facility type, project extent,
roadway segment and jurisdiction, estimated cost,
project development phase, HIN alignment, application
of Crash Modification Factors (CMF), and equity (e.g.,
whether the project is located in an area of Palm
Desert experiencing elevated levels of housing burden,
linguistic isolation, poverty, and/or environmental
burden). We will also seek to identify overlaps between
recommendations and whether such recommendations
were developed independently or through earlier
consolidation efforts. Attributes that support
assessment of feasibility and connectivity may also be
included.
This key information will be selected and refined
in close consultation with City staff. We propose to
conduct this review process concurrent with the
selection of project prioritization criteria in Task 4.2
(discussed in detail below) to maximize the efficiency
of information gathering. Additionally, we propose
to complete the High Injury Network (HIN) and
countermeasure analyses discussed in Task 5.1 (Identify
and Develop Content for Dashboard and Monitoring
Tool) prior to initiating our review and consolidation
process in Task 4.1. This step will allow our review to be
informed by these important analytical findings that may
have significant bearing on project prioritization.
Task 4.1 Deliverables
• Capital Project Spreadsheet (without prioritization
Alta’s prioritization process will help to ensure capital improvements
submitted for grant funding include broad support, are feasible, and are primed to win discretionary funding opportunities
Page 327 of 413
56ALTA PLANNING + DESIGN, INC.RFP no. 2023-RFP-212 Vision Zero Strategy(Roadway Safety Planning & Public Engagement)
Task 4.2 Prioritize Capital Projects
Prioritization balances Palm Desert’s values and grant
funding criteria with available data and tradeoffs to
understand which projects will provide the greatest
return on investment. Our criteria development process
will be aligned with the review and consolidation
process discussed in Task 4.1 and be informed by the
systemic safety analyses conducted in Task 5.1. It will
carefully consider community values, feasibility, and
fundability. Like the prioritization processes used in the
School and Seniors plans, our selection of metrics and
methods will be informed by equity and work to ensure
the benefit of underserved communities and the City as
a whole.
Implementation grant selection criteria in the FY23
SS4A NOFO included five merit criteria: #1 Safety
Impact; #2 Equity, Engagement, and Collaboration;
#3 Effective Practices and Strategies; #4 Other DOT
Strategic Goals; and #5 Supplemental Planning and
Demonstration Activities. These will be carefully
reviewed to inform criteria selection in our process and
to develop a streamlined set of prioritization criteria
taking other considerations and input from City staff into
account. We will also review previously awarded SS4A
Implementation Grant applications to glean information
that may further strengthen future applications and
merit inclusion in the prioritization process.
Alta’s Civic Analytics team has developed tools to
streamline metric creation, score development, and
overlay processes to efficiently deliver prioritization
analysis. Based on the types of data available Alta can
use qualitative scoring or percentile-based scores for
comparing different metrics of success for projects. In
consultation with City staff, Alta will establish weighting
schemes for different prioritization scenarios and
provide draft results for review by relevant stakeholders.
The project prioritization methodology may also be
used to identify “bundled” projects (projects combined
for safety need or to facilitate implementation),
depending on input from stakeholders and engineering
judgment. Based on stakeholder review and a
sensitivity analysis of results based on different weights,
Alta will develop a preferred prioritization approach that
will be documented in the Prioritization Methodology
Memorandum. We will apply the adopted method(s)
to the Capital Project Spreadsheet to produce the
Updated Capital Project Spreadsheet with Prioritization.
Task 4.2 Deliverables
• Meet with City staff to discuss prioritization
methodology.
• Prioritization Methodology Memorandum
• Updated Capital Project Spreadsheet (with
Prioritization)
Task 4.3 Draft and Final Investment Strategy
Using the Updated Capital Project Spreadsheet with
Prioritization, Alta will compile a list of Comprehensive
Recommendations. These recommendations will
include preliminary cost estimates that align with the
requirements of the Caltrans Active Transportation
Program and SS4A, so that the recommendations can
be easily incorporated into future grant applications
for implementation. Based on the ranking and cost of
the Comprehensive Recommendations, along with the
potential to bundle improvements to address specific
needs or gain efficiencies, Alta will select $10 - $15
million in priority capital projects that align with previous
SS4A implementation grant guidelines. We will work
closely with City staff to select and refine this list of
Grant Recommendations.
We will compile the Comprehensive Recommendations
and Grant Recommendations along with the preliminary
concept maps and other supporting materials in the
Draft Public investment Strategy (Strategy).
The Draft Strategy will also include a concise
introduction acknowledging the USDOT and providing
background on the SS4A program and indicating the
City’s intent to use the Strategy document to pursue
funds from this program. Further, the Draft Strategy will
detail the project review and consolidation process and
provide a chapter on the methodology used to prioritize
projects for investment. Alta will meet with City staff
to review this draft and garner feedback. Following
resolution of comments, we will submit the Final
Investment Strategy that will provide a clear roadmap
for future funding pursuits and programming efforts
once adopted by City Council.

Strategy 5 Dashboard and Monitoring Tool
The Alta team will leverage our industry-leading
expertise in safety analytics and visualization to develop
a Dashboard and Monitoring Tool that illustrates the
current state of safety in Palm Desert and identifies
initiatives that move the City closer to its targets. This
dashboard is also envisioned to provide City staff with
a highly automated mechanism to maintain their safety
dashboard, track progress, and take ownership of how
data informs their efforts.
Task 5.1 Identify and Develop Content
Task 5.1.1 Systemic Safety Analysis Methodology
Memo
Alta will conduct an initial review of available data
sets prior to meeting with City staff. This review will
incorporate Transportation Injury Mapping System
(TIMS) or SWITRS data utilized for Collision and Gap
Analysis tasks and other available data relating to
infrastructure, safety conditions, and demographics
such as OpenStreetMap and American Community
Survey. The availability of Sheriff’s Department data
and traffic operations center data will be assessed
specifically for severe crashes that have yet to be
processed through SWITRS. Additionally, Alta staff
will review relevant planning documents such as the
Local Roadway Safety Plan (2016) and Walk & Roll
Bicycle & Pedestrian Gap Analysis (2022) to understand
community needs and concerns along with relevant
public input gathered in tasks 1 – 3.
The Alta team will share the findings of this initial scan
in a meeting with City staff along with any potential
analysis implications based on data availability or
fidelity. The Alta team will also solicit input on additional
datasets available to the City and discuss potentially
sensitive data that may require data sharing agreements
or application of data scrubbing techniques in order
to be incorporated into subsequent analysis and
visualization tasks. For efficiency, Alta’s budget for this
task assumes the use of readily available datasets.
Following these discussions, Alta will develop the
Systemic Safety Analysis Methodology Memo which
details the data inputs, methodologies, background
information, data assumptions, and analysis outputs for
each proposed analysis task and data deliverable in
Task 5.
Task 5.1.2 High Injury Network Development
High injury networks (HINs) identify streets with the
largest concentration of FSI collisions. These networks
often illustrate that a small amount of improvable
network can address the majority of FSI collisions. Alta
will develop a HIN for the study area based on the risk
implied from the intersection of the collision history with
the street network to be cross referenced with related
analyses included in the 2016 LRSP. These networks
are often developed by a staged process of developing
a risk index based on the collision types and severities
and their intensity. Then, Alta will accumulate collisions
to the network in the order of that index to identify
a network with a significant proportion of collisions
relative to the improvable length being targeted. Based
on the appropriate threshold developed in coordination
with feedback from City staff, Alta will create maps of
a finalized HIN. Based on the HIN, Alta will take any
analysis or available context and provide tabulations
that explain the composition of streets, built form, and
communities identified to be proximal to the HIN. In
addition to supporting Dashboard and Monitoring Tool
development, this analysis will also be used to inform
the investment strategy prioritization in Task 4.2.

60ALTA PLANNING + DESIGN, INC.RFP no. 2023-RFP-212 Funding Expertise
Task 5.1.3 Countermeasure Identification &
Evaluation
Alta will conduct an evaluation of citywide collision
patterns in Palm Desert with an aim to identify a short-
list of countermeasures that could mitigate the risk
of severe collisions. Leveraging this short list, Alta
will pinpoint 2-4 countermeasures founded on either
collision attributes or risk factors pertinent to the
contextual scenario of a collision. Collision factors could
encompass the nature of vehicle code violations, or
the modes of transportation involved in the incident,
whereas potential contextual risk assessments could
span vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian risk factors.
These risk factors may comprise data on the number
of traffic lanes, posted speed limits, types of bicycle
facilities, the built environment, lighting presence,
transit stops, median widths, horizontal curvature of the
road, intervals between crossing opportunities, and
intersection characteristics like traffic control types and
signal presence or phasing. Alta acknowledges that
not all risk factors may be thoroughly inventoried in
available data and will adapt our approach accordingly.
Following this analysis, Alta will allocate
countermeasures to either specific collisions or broader
areas identified as candidates for potential deployment.
The final mapping approach will be tailored based
on City staff preferences and the intrinsic needs of
the project. Crash Modification Factors (CMF) and/or
Crash Reduction Factors (CRF) that are widely used
in the traffic safety field and readily available on the
CMF Clearinghouse will be applied to the selected
countermeasures to provide an estimated effect size
for each. As appropriate, these countermeasures and
their CMF/CRF attributes can be incorporated as a
layer in the Data Dashboard to provide a useful safety
improvement tool for the City and its stakeholders.
Additionally, our identification and evaluation of
countermeasures will be used to inform the investment
strategy prioritization in Task 4.2.

Task 5.2 Design Data Dashboard
The dashboard design process will kick off with a
meeting with the relevant staff to grasp the desires
and expectations for the dashboard, aiming to unify
understanding of design objectives, functional
requirements, and data metrics to be visualized.
Following this dialogue, a design document will
be crafted for review, featuring screenshots of the
expected user interface, tabs, and pages, alongside
a narrative outlining the backend infrastructure,
anticipated APIs, web interface design, and overall
application architecture.
Upon receiving feedback on the initial design
document, a finalized version will be developed. This
document will reflect the design refinements based on
the feedback and serve as a definitive blueprint for the
dashboard design, marking a significant step towards its
development and deployment.
We propose to build the Safety Data Dashboard using
ArcGIS’s Online (AGOL) Experience Builder using a
guest login provided by the city to their ArcGIS Online /
Portal infrastructure. Alta has used Experience Builder
extensively to build highly effective and user-friendly
data dashboards such as Nashville’s Vision Zero Data
Dashboard. In Alta’s experience, AGOL provides a cost-
effective deployment solution for cities to maintain and
host their own applications over time and aligns with the
City’s existing use of Esri products. If desired, Alta can
explore alternative solutions in close collaboration with
City staff and assess feasibility for implementation in
alignment with allotted budget.
Task 5.2 Deliverables
• Data Dashboard Technical Architecture Memorandum
Task 5.3 Develop and Implement Data Dashboard
Alta will build a Safety Data Dashboard that will contain
key findings and narratives that illustrate the current
state of safety in the region, identifies performance
measures to track progress, and identifies solutions
and countermeasures that can be implemented to
move the city closer to meeting their Vision Zero goals.
This dashboard is envisioned to provide the city with
a highly automated mechanism to maintain their safety
dashboard, track progress, and take ownership of how
data informs their Vision Zero efforts. Alta will also
develop a Technical Documentation Memorandum to
accompany the Data Dashboard which synthesizes the
Systemic Safety Analysis Methodology Memorandum
developed in Task 5.1 and the Data Dashboard
Technical Architecture Memorandum developed in Task
5.2 supplemented with basic instructions for end users
of the Data Dashboard.
Task 5.3 Deliverables
• Data Dashboard
• Technical Documentation Memorandum for Data

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Date: January 10, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Anthony J. Mejia, City Clerk
Subject: City Council Meeting of January 11, 2024
Below you will find questions received from the Mayor or Councilmembers and answers provided by
City staff regarding tonight’s City Council meeting:
ITEM 2a: STUDY SESSION: RECEIVE INFORMATION REGARDING THE PROGRESS OF
MUNICIPAL LIBRARY SERVICES AND NEXT STEPS
Q1: With the library being closed in May and June, will there be an additional location added
as a cooling center to offset the most used cooling center due to extended service
hours?
A1: Cooling Centers open in Riverside County on June 1. During the month of June, while the library
is closed, the Joslyn Center and Portola Community Center have agreed to admit all individuals
seeking a cooling center. City staff are reaching out to other city partners to seek their
assistance in operating as a cooling center during the month of June and potentially beyond
June.
ITEM 13c: ADOPT RESOLUTION FOR RECOGNIZED OBLIGATION PAYMENT SCHEDULE AND
ADMINISTRATIVE BUDGETS FOR THE FISCAL PERIOD FROM JULY 1, 2024,
THROUGH JUNE 30, 2025, PURSUANT TO HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE SECTION
34177 AND TAKING CERTAIN RELATED ACTIONS
Q1: Item 4, under ROPS 21-22 Cash Balance; Comments describe Litigation Deposit. How are
the funds generated/ distributed?
A1: The deposit (originally $150,000) was made by the former redevelopment agency prior to
dissolution. It was intended for any SARDA litigation but has and continues to be used for costs
related to the Stipulated Judgment. The Stipulated Judgment was against the City and in favor
of the Western Center on Law and Poverty (obligations listed as line numbers 32, 86, 119, and
160 on the ROPS). In brief: The judgment dates to the 90’s and like many other cities, required
Palm Desert to use its 20% housing set aside funds, generated from redevelopment pass
through monies, at a more restrictive level than what was required by law.
Although the State Department of Finance has not permitted SARDA to receive payments for
the judgment in years, we will not retire the obligation until we receive a vacation of the
judgment. To date, one has not been received so that is why it continues to be listed on our
ROPS with no request for funding. Staff continues to work with legal to determine if alternative
options are available. Costs for those services will eventually deplete the deposit. If at some
point the judgment is vacated and funds remain on deposit, they will be returned to SARDA and
used to pay for other obligations listed on the ROPS.

FUND REVENUE (PROJECT NO. GSS00001/CST00018)
Q1: Media Market estimates references non-traditional modes, including pole banners. Would
the banners only be placed along the proposed safe routes?
A1: Non-traditional modes, including pole banners, are not limited to any geographic location in
Palm Desert.

CITY OF PALM DESERT
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 11, 2024
PREPARED BY: Richard D. Cannone, AICP, Development Services Director
REQUEST: REQUEST FOR FEEDBACK AND DIRECTION REGARDING UPDATING
ZONING AND BUSINESS REGULATIONS REGARDING CANNABIS
MANUFACTURING BUSINESSES
RECOMMENDATION:
Option 1 - Amend the Palm Desert Municipal Code (PDMC) to:
a. Prohibit cannabis manufacturing businesses, except for Type P licenses that are
limited to packaging and labeling of cannabis.
i. Limit the number of cannabis manufacturing businesses to two (2).
b. Add Cannabis Microbusiness as a use that could be permitted through a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in Service Industrial only with the following use
limitations:
i. Limited to one (1) business
ii. No retail storefront, delivery only [Note: cannabis retail is prohibited in SI].
iii. Manufacturing is limited to packaging and labeling.
c. Update/clarify any inconsistent code sections.
d. Establish an annual fee of $2,760 for cannabis regulatory permits for Type P
Manufacturing, Microbusinesses, and Distribution businesses to cover the cost of
semi-annual inspections.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
In 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance 1329 to establish regulations for commercial
cannabis businesses. The types of commercial cannabis businesses permitted through a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) include:
Retail (storefront) businesses in the Planned Commercial (“PC”) -1 district, PC-2 district,
PC-3 district, PC-4 district, and Downtown (D) district.
Testing or research laboratories in the Office Professional (OP) district and Service
Industrial (SI) district.
Commercial cultivation businesses in the SI district.
Delivery-only businesses (non-storefront retail) in the SI district.
Distribution businesses in the SI district.
Manufacture businesses in the SI district.
A retail (storefront) business is limited to six permits with additional location limitations. The
remaining business types do not have a limit on the number of permits but do have a 1,500-foot
separation requirement from another cannabis business or 1,000 feet from a school, daycare,
or youth center. These separation distances are measured from the outer extents of the
commercial cannabis business’s lease space to the outer extents of another commercial
Page 343 of 413
City of Palm Desert
City Council Direction – Cannabis Manufacturing Businesses
Page 2 of 8
cannabis business’s lease space, or to the property line of a school, daycare center or youth
center.
Another cannabis business type not explicitly listed in the City’s regulations are
Microbusinesses, defined as a business that does at least three of the following activities at one
location:
1. Cultivation – up to 10,000 total square feet
2. Manufacturing – use of non-volatile solvents, mechanical extraction, or infusion
3. Distribution or distribution transport-only
4. Retail – storefront or non-storefront
The State of California Department of Cannabis Control (CA DCC) issues five (5) different
manufacturing licenses:
Type 7: Volatile Solvent Manufacturing
• Use volatile solvents for extraction or post-extraction processing of cannabis
extract.
• Use non-volatile solvents for extraction or post processing.
• Use mechanical methods for extraction.
• Make cannabis products through infusion.
• Package and label cannabis products.
Type 6: Non-Volatile Solvent Manufacturing or Mechanical Extraction:
• Use non-volatile solvents for extraction or post-extraction processing.
• Use mechanical methods for extraction.
• Make cannabis products through infusion.
• Package and label cannabis products.
• Non-volatile solvents are chemicals that do not produce a flammable gas or
vapor.
Type N: Infusion of products
• Make cannabis products through infusion.
• Package and label cannabis.
• Infusion mixes cannabis extract or plant material with other ingredients to make
a cannabis product.
Type P: Packaging and labeling
• Can only package and label cannabis products.
Type S: Manufacturers who work in a shared use facility.
• Extract cannabis using butter or food-grade oils, water, glycerin, vegetable oil,
animal fat, or using mechanical methods.
• Make cannabis products through infusion.
• Package and label cannabis.
Page 344 of 413
City of Palm Desert
City Council Direction – Cannabis Manufacturing Businesses
Page 3 of 8
• Shared-use facilities are places where multiple Type S manufacturers rotate on
a schedule and share space and equipment. A Type 7, 6 or N license can
register all or part of their manufacturing premises as a shared-use facility.
Additionally, the CA DCC also offers a Microbusiness License that could involve manufacturing.
Type 12: Microbusiness
This license is for a business that performs at least three of the following activities at one
location:
1. Cultivation – up to 10,000 total square feet
2. Manufacturing – use of non-volatile solvents, mechanical extraction, or infusion
3. Distribution or distribution transport-only
4. Retail – storefront or non-storefront (delivery)
Currently there 10 commercial cannabis businesses, seven of which have a retail storefront and
five are licensed for manufacturing.

Over the past three months, the Development Services Department updated our administrative
processes for Cannabis Regulatory Permits to include, among others, annual inspections prior
to issuing a renewal to ensure compliance with the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) conditions of
approval and the City’s cannabis regulations. In establishing our cannabis regulatory
administrative procedures and multiagency inspections, coupled with the recent fire that
Page 345 of 413
City of Palm Desert
City Council Direction – Cannabis Manufacturing Businesses
Page 4 of 8
occurred at Thinc Cubed, several deficiencies have been revealed as it relates to who is
responsible for inspecting manufacturing facilities and what those inspections entail.
Since the adoption of the cannabis zoning and business regulations i n 2017, the manufacturing
processing has evolved and continues to evolve so that these businesses can extract the purest
form of THC to make their cannabis products more profitable. These manufacturing processes
often involve the use of volatile chemicals for cannabis extraction processes, some that the EPA
has determined to be dangerous and result in acute and long-term health risks when inhaled.
The recent fire that occurred at Thinc Cubed, a Type 7 manufacturer, revealed the volatility of
these chemicals and the effort involved to put out that fire. Other manufacturing processes
infuse by hand or machine cannabis extract into a food product (e.g. gummies, chocolate, pill)
or cannabis flower to be smoked without prescribed food safety or sanitation guidance.
The Riverside County Department of Environmental Health does not require an initial or annual
health inspection or provide guidance/best practices for sanitation related to cannabis
manufacturing/infusion process, nor do they consider the business as having a “commercial
kitchen”. Instead, any contaminated product should be identified when the “batch” of cannabis
product is tested by a third-party laboratory. Some local health departments in other states
require a food handler certification for employees involved in the manufacturing/infusion process
and establish mandatory sanitation requirements for cannabis manufacturing facilities that
include:
1) Providing a separate handwashing sink.
2) Mop water and wastewater may NOT be dumped in the hand washing sink or outside.
Wastewater must be disposed of in a designated mop sink or floor sink in accordance
with the local wastewater rules and regulations.
3) Washing of hands in designated handwashing sink prior to donning new gloves and in
between glove changes.
4) An EPA-registered sanitizer, which commonly includes quaternary ammonium or
chlorine, should be used for sanitizing all equipment and utensils that come into contact
with plant material. The sanitizer should be of the proper concentration according to the
manufacturer’s label. A food-grade sanitizing agent shall be utilized at all times during
edible production.
5) If using a hydrocarbon extraction machine, conduct a sanitizing procedure of the machine
at least once a day and between different plant material. Machines should routinely be
taken apart to wash, rinse and sanitize. If conducting solventless extractions, all
equipment utilized in the process shall be sanitized as required, at least once a day, and
in between batches of plant material.
6) All equipment and utensils that contact edible ingredients, plant material, and/ or food -
contact surfaces should be constructed of a food grade material, be smooth and non -
absorbent, and be easy to clean.
7) Handle all plant material with gloved hands or clean and sanitized equipment such as
tongs. Gloves should be changed between tasks and when gloves are contaminated.
Disposable gloves are single-use items, which shall be disposed of after being removed.
8) Avoid storing plant material or edible products in warm, moist or extreme conditions.
Edible products should be stored six inches above ground or in clean, waterproof
Page 346 of 413

Page 5 of 8
containers. Cannabis products should be stored in a manner that protects them from
contamination.
The CA DCC stated to staff that they place the responsibility on the local jurisdiction to ensure
cannabis businesses comply with State law and City ordinances. The table below is a summary
of inspection responsibilities by regulatory agency and dedicated staff.

Cannabis Taxes Collected
The City relies on the cannabis business owner to remit their tax payment on a month basis
based upon the gross receipts they report to the City. Due to the confidentiality associated with
the cannabis industry, it is difficult for staff to confirm whether the gross receipts are consistent
with what is reported to the State. Recently, staff was able to enroll through the DCC the ability
to access the California Cannabis Track-and-Trace System also known as Metrc. However,
State law requires that information and reports obtained be considered privileged and exempt
from public records. Outlined below are the cannabis manufacturing businesses that shows
when the City issued their regulatory permit/business license and the manufacturing taxes paid.
Business State License Issued (YR) Cannabis Manuf. Taxes Paid (FY)
JW Brands 2019 2019 - 2024: $0

Page 6 of 8
As shown in the table above, a total of only $26,460.02 in cannabis manufacturing taxes has
been remitted to the City. Over this four-year period (2019-2023) the majority (93%) of the
manufacturing taxes paid were by Thinc Cubed and their payment included a 25% penalty on
the delinquent amount. This payment was a result of staff notifying them that they had not paid
any taxes since opening during the review of their annual regulatory permit. While the
information obtained from Metrc is confidential, it appears that “manufacturing” activity occurred
for the cannabis manufacturing businesses listed above beginning with the year the license was
issued. From 2019 to 2021 no taxes were remitted to the City, and it was not until 2022 that the
City received $713.02 for that year.
Issues to Consider
1. There is no cap on cannabis manufacturing businesses or microbusinesses.
2. Microbusinesses have been allowed through a CUP, but components of the business
are prohibited, i.e. retail operation prohibited in the Service Industrial zone and
manufacturing and distribution are prohibited in Planned Commercial zones.
3. Inspection and safety of cannabis manufacturing business ultimately falls on the City.
4. The Riverside County Department of Public Health refuses to issue a policy or be
involved in the manufacturing process, including infusion of products.
5. Staff has safety and sanitation concerns with the operation of these manufacturing
business after learning that Riverside County Environmental Health does not get
involved in licensing or inspecting manufacturing facilities, especially those
businesses that make infused products for consumption.
6. The DCC has three inspectors assigned to five counties and can neither be proactive
nor inspect each business annually.
7. The State exempts cannabis manufacturing businesses from an annual fire
inspection.
8. Staff has concerns with the continued use of volatile chemicals in manufacturing after
learning that there are no required annual inspections, and that the responsibility is on
the City.
9. Except for the late tax payment by Thinc Cubed in October, very little cannabis
manufacturing has taken place.
10. The City does not charge an annual fee for Cannabis Regulatory Permits.
Options to Consider
1. Amend the Palm Desert Municipal Code to:
a. Prohibit cannabis manufacturing businesses, except for Type P licenses that are
limited to packaging and labeling of cannabis.
i. Limit the number of cannabis manufacturing businesses to two (2).
b. Add Cannabis Microbusiness as a use that could be permitted through a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in Service Industrial only with the following use
limitations:
i. Limited to one (1) business
ii. No retail storefront, delivery only [Note: cannabis retail is prohibited in SI].
iii. Manufacturing is limited to packaging and labeling.
c. Update/clarify any inconsistent code sections.

c. Require employees to obtain a Riverside County Food Handler Certificate.
d. Establish mandatory sanitation requirements for cannabis manufacturing facilities
as included above.
e. Add an additional Code Compliance Officer II position to manage the cannabis
inspection program. Annual Cost (salary/benefits): $120,000+.
f. Send Building and Safety staff to train on cannabis plan review and enforcement.
Annual Cost: $1,500.
g. Contract with Riverside County Fire to conduct quarterly inspections of the five (5)
existing facilities at a cost of $545 per inspection. Cost: $10,900+ annually.
h. Estimated annual cost: $132,400.
i. 2024 Manufacturing Tax Revenue: $24,795.15 (includes 2023 back taxes)
ii. 2023 Manufacturing Tax Revenue: $952.50
iii. 2022 Manufacturing Tax Revenue: $713.02
i. Establish an annual renewal fee of $6,240 for manufacturing and microbusiness
cannabis regulatory permits to cover the costs of quarterly inspections and a
portion of the additional Code Compliance Officer II position; annual revenue
projected at $31,200 ($20,300 city staff & $10,900 fire inspections).
j. Establish an annual fee of $2,760 for cannabis regulatory permits for Cannabis
Distribution businesses to cover the cost of semi-annual inspections.
k. Update/clarify any inconsistent code sections.
Staff Recommendation
Based on the additional costs for inspections and the amount of oversight that is placed on the
city, staff recommends Option 1.
1. Amend the Palm Desert Municipal Code to:
a. Prohibit cannabis manufacturing businesses, except for Type P licenses that are
limited to packaging and labeling of cannabis.
i. Limit the number of cannabis manufacturing businesses to two (2).
b. Add Cannabis Microbusiness as a use that could be permitted through a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in Service Industrial only with the following use
limitations:
i. Limited to one (1) business
ii. No retail storefront, delivery only [Note: cannabis retail is prohibited in SI].
iii. Manufacturing is limited to packaging and labeling.
c. Update/clarify any inconsistent code sections.

d. Establish an annual fee of $2,760 for cannabis regulatory permits for Type P
Manufacturing, Microbusinesses, and Distribution businesses to cover the cost of
semi-annual inspections.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s office.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
With Option 1 there would be a loss in cannabis manufacturing tax revenue; however, it is difficult
to determine the exact amount due to lack of information available and minimal taxes remitted
by the businesses. Option 2 would require a budget amendment and the projected new annual
regulatory permit fee revenue of $31,200 coupled with the manufacturing taxes collected would
not offset the annual cost of $132,400.

City of Palm Desert Compliance with CUP conditions, cannabis
regulations, building plans
No dedicated staff, currently using
management analyst, principal
planner, and code compliance staff
for inspections and permitting.
Page 355 of 413
Issues to Consider
1.There is no cap on cannabis manufacturing businesses or microbusinesses.
2.Microbusinesses have been allowed through a CUP, but components of the business are
prohibited, i.e. retail operation prohibited in the Service Industrial zone and
manufacturing and distribution are prohibited in Planned Commercial zones .
3.Inspection and safety of cannabis manufacturing business ultimately falls on the City.
4.The Riverside County Department of Public Health refuses to issue a policy on food
safety or sanitation guidance or get involved in licensing or inspecting manufacturing
facilities, especially those businesses that make infused products for consumption.
5.The DCC has 3 inspectors assigned to 5 counties and can neither be proactive nor
inspect each business annually.
18 months between inspections
If inspection fails, 6-12 months (equipment not certified/serial numbers incorrect)
If City allows the use, the City is ultimately responsible fo r ensuring compliance
01/11/2024 AGENDA ITEM 14.C.6
Page 356 of 413
Issues to Consider
6.The State exempts cannabis manufacturing businesses from an annual fire inspection.
7.Staff has concerns with the continued use of volatile chemicals in manufacturing after
learning that there are no required annual inspections, and that the responsibility is on
the City.
8.Some of the chemicals used have been determined by the EPA to be dangerous and
result in acute and long-term health risks when inhaled.
9.Based on tax revenue, very little cannabis manufacturing has taken place.
10.The City does not charge an annual fee for Cannabis Regulatory Permits.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 11, 2024
PREPARED BY: Thomas Soule, Public Affairs Manager
REQUEST: APPROVE THE 2024 LIST OF SOCIAL MEDIA COMMEMORATIONS.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Provide direction on whether to commemorate Columbus Day and/or Indigenous
Peoples’ Day.
2. Approve the list of social media commemorations planned for 2024.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The City of Palm Desert utilizes its social media channels to convey a variety of information,
including City news, meeting reminders, and event updates. In the spirit of Unite Palm Desert,
the Public Affairs staff also actively seeks ways to bring the community together by creating
social media posts affirming the City's commitment to diversity and inclusion. These posts may
commemorate Federal and State holidays, religious holidays, special national and international
days or months, and related observances throughout the year. The attached list has been
reviewed by the Mayor and the Mayor Pro-Tem and is now being brought to the full City Council
for final consideration.
In addition to seeking approval of the overall list, staff is requesting guidance on how to approach
Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Both holidays are observed on the second
Monday in October but are not uniformly commemorated. Some cities across the country
commemorate both on social media, some commemorate only one or the other, and some
commemorate neither. None of Palm Desert’s neigh bors recognize Columbus Day on social
media, and only Palm Springs and Coachella recognize Indigenous Peoples ’ Day.

CITY MANAGER’S OFFICE
INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Date: January 10, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Anthony J. Mejia, City Clerk
Subject: City Council Meeting of January 11, 2024
Below you will find questions received from the Mayor or Councilmembers and answers provided by
City staff regarding tonight’s City Council meeting:
ITEM 2a: STUDY SESSION: RECEIVE INFORMATION REGARDING THE PROGRESS OF
MUNICIPAL LIBRARY SERVICES AND NEXT STEPS
Q1: With the library being closed in May and June, will there be an additional location added
as a cooling center to offset the most used cooling center due to extended service
hours?
A1: Cooling Centers open in Riverside County on June 1. During the month of June, while the library
is closed, the Joslyn Center and Portola Community Center have agreed to admit all individuals
seeking a cooling center. City staff are reaching out to other city partners to seek their
assistance in operating as a cooling center during the month of June and potentially beyond
June.
ITEM 13c: ADOPT RESOLUTION FOR RECOGNIZED OBLIGATION PAYMENT SCHEDULE AND
ADMINISTRATIVE BUDGETS FOR THE FISCAL PERIOD FROM JULY 1, 2024,
THROUGH JUNE 30, 2025, PURSUANT TO HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE SECTION
34177 AND TAKING CERTAIN RELATED ACTIONS
Q1: Item 4, under ROPS 21-22 Cash Balance; Comments describe Litigation Deposit. How are
the funds generated/ distributed?
A1: The deposit (originally $150,000) was made by the former redevelopment agency prior to
dissolution. It was intended for any SARDA litigation but has and continues to be used for costs
related to the Stipulated Judgment. The Stipulated Judgment was against the City and in favor
of the Western Center on Law and Poverty (obligations listed as line numbers 32, 86, 119, and
160 on the ROPS). In brief: The judgment dates to the 90’s and like many other cities, required
Palm Desert to use its 20% housing set aside funds, generated from redevelopment pass
through monies, at a more restrictive level than what was required by law.
Although the State Department of Finance has not permitted SARDA to receive payments for
the judgment in years, we will not retire the obligation until we receive a vacation of the
judgment. To date, one has not been received so that is why it continues to be listed on our
ROPS with no request for funding. Staff continues to work with legal to determine if alternative
options are available. Costs for those services will eventually deplete the deposit. If at some
point the judgment is vacated and funds remain on deposit, they will be returned to SARDA and
used to pay for other obligations listed on the ROPS.

AMOUNT OF $948,920, AND APPROPRIATE $66,980 IN UNOBLIGATED GENERAL
FUND REVENUE (PROJECT NO. GSS00001/CST00018)
Q1: Media Market estimates references non-traditional modes, including pole banners. Would
the banners only be placed along the proposed safe routes?
A1: Non-traditional modes, including pole banners, are not limited to any geographic location in
Palm Desert.
ITEM 14d: APPROVE THE 2024 LIST OF SOCIAL MEDIA COMMEMORATIONS
In compiling the list of 2024 Social Media Commemoration submitted for consideration, staff
inadvertently omitted LGBTQ Pride Month and Greater Palm Springs Pride, both of which were
commemorated on the City’s social media channels in 2023. The attached list has been updated to
include them.
ITEM 15a: PALM DESERT REDISTRICTING 2023: PUBLIC HEARING #5 REGARDING
REDISTRICTING OF CITY COUNCIL BOUNDARIES – CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTING
A CITY COUNCIL ELECTION DISTRICT BOUNDARIES MAP AND ORDINANCE
INTRODUCTION
It was brought to City staff’s attention that the Future Projected Growth Table was not updated to
correlate to “Map 109 Renumbered B.” The below chart has been updated to reflect the renumbering
of districts:
Future Projected Growth
In June 2023, City staff provided a map depicting residential projects already approved or under construction
north of Fred Waring Drive. As previously noted, the City may consider future population growth when selecting
a final map provided that federal and state criteria have been met. The below chart summarizes the number of
units and projected population growth in each of the districts as represented on the draft maps eligible for
adoption.

CITY OF PALM DESERT
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 11, 2024
PREPARED BY: Anthony J. Mejia, City Clerk
REQUEST: PALM DESERT REDISTRICTING 2023: PUBLIC HEARING #5
REGARDING REDISTRICTING OF CITY COUNCIL BOUNDARIES –
CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTING A CITY COUNCIL ELECTION
DISTRICT BOUNDARIES MAP AND ORDINANCE INTRODUCTION (TO
COMMENCE AT 4:30 P.M. OR SOON THEREAFTER)
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Open the Public Hearing and receive public testimony.
2. Adopt “Map 109 Renumbered B” as the City Council election district boundaries map.
3. Introduce an Ordinance entitled, “AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 2.38.040 OF THE PALM
DESERT MUNICIPAL CODE RELATED TO BY-DISTRICT ELECTIONS, DEFINING
DISTRICT BOUNDARIES, AND SCHEDULING ELECTIONS WITHIN THE DISTRICTS.”
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On June 22, 2023, the City Council unanimously directed staff to take the necessary steps to
transition to five single-member districts prior to the November 2024 Election and to eliminate
use of Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) in future elections. On August 24, 2023, the City Council
adopted the Redistricting Public Education and Outreach Plan.
The City initiated a redistricting process to shift from the current two-district system to five single-
member districts. The redistricting process will determine where the new City Council district
lines will be drawn. The new districts will impact how voters elect City Council Members until the
next redistricting process following the 2030 Census. The districts must be drawn using the 2020
census data and in compliance with the FAIR MAPS Act, which was adopted by the California
legislature as Assembly Bill 849 and took eff ect January 1, 2020, and updated by Assembly
Bill 764 that took effect January 1, 2024.
Under the amended Act, the City Council shall draw and adopt boundaries using the following
criteria in the listed order of priority [Elections Code 21130(c)]:
1. Comply with the federal requirements of equal population and the Voting Rights Act .
2. Geographically contiguous.
3. Undivided neighborhoods and “communities of interest” (populations that share common
social or economic interests should be kept together).
4. Easily identifiable boundaries.
5. Geographical compactness (do not bypass one group of people to get to a more distant
group of people).
6. The districting body shall not adopt election district boundaries for the purpose of favoring
or discriminating against an incumbent, political candidate, or political party.
Page 375 of 413
City of Palm Desert
Public Hearing #5 – Palm Desert Redistricting 2023
Page 2 of 7
Once the prioritized criteria are met, other traditional districting principles can be considered, such as:
1. Future population growth.
2. Respect voters’ choice/continuity in office (Due to the passage of Assembly Bill 764, this
criterion may no longer be considered).
District 1 was population adjusted following the 2020 Census and resulted in a majority/minority
voting district, based on total population. Looking at citizen voting age population (which is data
traditionally relied upon in voting rights context), District 1 is 45% Latin x/Hispanic. However, the
total of all non-white aka minority groups (including Latinx/Hispanic, Black, and Asian-American)
in District 1 reaches a 51% majority. Upon review of the City’s voting age population data,
preserving District 1 boundaries is possible while remaining in compliance with the other mapping
requirements noted above and the terms of the settlement agreement. Therefore, it is
recommended that the City Council keep District 1 in its current configuration.
Map 109, Demographer Submission
Map 109 was submitted by the City’s demographer based on a written public comment. Analysis
indicates that the map exhibits a population deviation of 8.59%. The City has posted all draft maps
to the City’s redistricting website: https://redistrictpd.org/, which includes an interactive review map
tool which can be accessed by clicking here.
Following the December 14, 2023, City Council Public Hearing, a representative of the Lakes
Country Club reached out to inquire about adjusting the District 3 street alignment so that the
boundaries follow Cook Street and El Dorado Drive rather than the interior streets of the Lakes
Country Club. The Demographer was aware of the issue and intended to manually adjust the
street alignment prior to adoption, which is now reflected in “Map 109 Renumbered B.”
Figure 1 - Cook Street and El Dorado Street Alignment Cleanup
Furthermore, the representative of the Lakes Country Club pointed out that a portion of the golf
course traverses from District 3 into District 4. In reviewing this issue, the census block is oddly
shaped and combines an unpopulated portion of the Lakes golf course with 655 residents
(outside of the Lakes Country Club). In consultation with the Demographer, this adjustment is
not recommended as it would require splitting of the census block and the result would not align
with major streets or easily identifiable boundaries. However, it is important to note that all
residents of the Lakes Country Club are within the same voting district (District 3).

Figure 2 - Census block with unpopulated portion of Lakes CC Golf Courses
and 655 residents (outside of Lakes CC)
Sequencing of Elections
When considering the sequencing of elections, the City Council must take into consideration public
testimony related to the sequencing of elections and whether a particular area has a history of
being under-represented and relatively low turnout and thus should be assigned a to the higher-
turnout Presidential 2024 election cycle. Secondarily, it is standard practice to match the district
election years to the year of the resident officeholder. The sequencing of elections will not result
in a shortened term for any officeholder.
As suggested in a public comment letter, prior to the December 14, 2023, Public Hearing, City staff
renumbered Map 109 to ensure that Districts 1, 2, and 3 are up for election in November 2024 and
Districts 4 and 5 in November 2026. The City Council expressed support for the sequence of elections
and moved forward “Map 109 – Renumbered” for additional consideration and possible adoption.
Future Projected Growth
In June 2023, City staff provided a map depicting residential projects already approved or under
construction north of Fred Waring Drive. As previously noted, the City may consider future
population growth when selecting a final map provided that federal and state criteria have been
met. The below chart summarizes the number of units and projected population growth in each of
the districts as represented on the draft maps eligible for adoption.
Map 102b/103b Map 104 Map 105 Map 109

Note: The Merle Self-Help Lots A and B totaling 14 units/30 population was excluded from the above
chart, as these properties are located in District 1. Population projections of 2.12 per unit are based
on the total unit count multiplied by the average household size in Palm Desert per the US Census
Bureau's data complied under the 2021 American Community Survey 5-year estimates.

Community Workshop #1
On September 6, 2023, at 6 p.m., the City conducted a Redistricting Communit y Workshop at the
Palm Desert City Hall, Administrative Conference Room, and via Zoom. City staff facilitated a brief
presentation and a robust question-and-answer period. However, no attendees desired to offer
public comment. The workshop video was posted to the redistricting website, under the schedule
tab: https://redistrictpd.org/.
Public Hearings #1 and #2
On September 14 and 28, 2023, at 4:30 p.m., the City Council conducted pre-map Public Hearings
with in-person and virtual access. City staff facilitated a brief presentation and responded to
questions. Links to the meeting agendas, staff reports, meeting videos, presentations, and public
comment are posted on the City’s redistricting webpage, under the schedule tab:
https://redistrictpd.org/.
Map Drawing Workshops
On October 4 and 16, 2023, at 5 p.m., via Zoom, the City facilitated a demonstration of the online
map drawing tool and responded to questions. The workshop was recorded and posted to the
City’s YouTube channel and the City’s redistricting webpage, under the schedule tab:

Public Hearing #5 – Palm Desert Redistricting 2023
Page 5 of 7
Following the meeting and at the community workshops, there were questions from residents
regarding the City Council’s authority to select a single focus map rather than staff’s
recommendation to select 2-3 focus maps. Based on experience, City staff recommended a
process which allows the City Council to narrow down the number of map options un til a final map
is adopted. However, it is within the City Council prerogative to accept staff’s recommendation or
to select an alternative action. In this case, the City Council has the authority to select a single
focus map, rather than the staff’s recommended action of 2-3 focus maps.
Community Workshops #2 & #3
On November 29, 2023, at 6 p.m., the City conducted Redistricting Community Workshop #2 at
the Palm Desert iHub attended by 15 people. On December 6, 2023, at 6 p.m., the City conducted
Redistricting Community Workshop #3 at the City Hall, Administrative Conference Room, attended
by 24 people. At both workshops, the City’s demographer and City staff facilitated a brief
presentation, question-and-answer period, and solicited community feedback.
In summary, at both workshops the public comments centered around the attendees’
disappointment that the City Council did not select more than one focus map and requested that
the City Council reconsider Map 102 as a focus map. It was further asserted that the City Council
decision to select a single focus map was dependent upon the demographer’s response that she
could not find a solution in which Map 102 could be adjusted in a manner that did not split at least
one HOA or gated community. As noted in a written public comment, after the November 16, 2023,
Public Hearing, it was discovered by a member of the public that Map 102 could be population
balanced and avoid splitting any HOA or gated communities by moving the Hidden Palms
Community into District 3 and moving the properties on Country Club Drive between Portola
Avenue, Cook Street, and Hovley Lane (Marriot properties and Silver Sands Raquet Club) into
District 5. City staff informed the public that it cannot bring forward “Map 102c” without City Council
direction as the deadline for new map submissions has passed and the City Council already took
action to select Focus Map 109.
Furthermore, at both workshops, members of the public raised concern s and objected to Map 109,
citing that it splits the following communities of interest in two districts:
Residents north of Country Club Drive have shared issues related to development growth,
traffic, wind, and blow sand.
Students and taxpayers north of Frank Sinatra Drive are within the Palm Springs Unified
School District (PSUSD). Further noting that the City’s financial support of Desert Sands
Unified School District does not benefit students attending PSUSD.
Residents north of Country Club Drive are a younger demographic with shared interests.
Additionally, those opposing Map 109 expressed concern that the two northern districts extend
too far south (as far south as Fred Waring Drive), and this dilutes northern residents’ vote. They
state that the northern and southern areas differ greatly, and histor ically more City funds are
expended in the south; therefore, to ensure the northern area has fair representation on City
Council, the northern area should not be placed in districts that also include southern areas.

Page 6 of 7
During the workshops, straw polls were conducted to gauge attendees’ sentiments as follows:
Workshop #2:
2 of the 15 attendees favored Map 109 because it was the only option that did not split the
Hidden Palms Community.
14 of the 15 attendees opposed the City Council’s decision to select one Focus Map.
14 of the 15 attendees supported a request to the City Council to include “Map 102c” as an
additional focus map.
Workshop #3:
14 of the 24 attendees supported Map 109 as presented.
9 of the 24 attendees supported a request to the City Council to include “Map 102c” as an
additional focus map.
In support of Map 109, one individual commented that Map 109 attempts to address future
population growth in an effort to reduce the number of changes to the district boundaries following
the 2030 Census; this may result in fewer voters being shifted from one district to another and
potentially into a new election cycle. Another individual submitted a written comment indicat ing
that Map 109 bridges the northern and mid-city areas, hopefully mitigating damage done by the
fractionalizing of the City via redistricting; and that Map 109 does an adequate job of addressing
future population growth to minimize disruptions after the 2030 Census.
The workshop #2 audio was posted to the redistricting website, under the schedule tab:
https://redistrictpd.org/. Unfortunately, City staff inadvertently did not record Workshop #3 via Zoom.
Public Hearings #4
On December 14, 2023, at 4:30 p.m., the City Council conducted a Public Hearings with in-person
and virtual access. City staff facilitated a brief presentation and responded to questions. Links to

on the City’s redistricting webpage, under the schedule tab: https://redistrictpd.org/.
During its discussion, the City Council reaffirmed its support for Map 1 09 Renumbered as the
focus map. Comments made in support of Map 109 Renumbered include:
1) The map does not split neighborhoods (gated communities or HOAs),
2) District 3 keeps residents bordering the Mid Valley Channel together, as proximity to the
channel (and flood-related issues) have an impact on quality of life,
3) District 3 keeps residents bordering the future commuter rail infrastructure together;
4) Map 109 is the best option to balance future population growth between two districts; and
5) District 5 places Portola Country Club and Palm Desert Greens Country Club in the same
district, which is useful because these are unique mobile home communities in which
residents own the real estate and the mobile home upon which it is placed. These two
communities have similar and unique issues that lead to interfaces with the City such as
permitting and remediation.

D. Pursuant to California Government Code section 34886, it is declared that the
purpose of the change in the method of electing members of the City Council of the City of Palm
Desert made by this Ordinance is to implement the guarantees of Section 7 of Article I and of
Section 2 of Article II of the California Constitution, as set forth in Sections 14025 through 14032
of the California Elections Code.
E. The City engaged an expert demographic firm to assist the City with the process of
analyzing the City’s population, developing draft maps, and gathering input from residents on the
possible maps.
F. In accordance with Elections Code section 21100 et seq. and Elections Code section
21620 et seq., the City Council held two “pre-map” public hearings to obtain input on any proposed

G. A. On September 6, 2023, November 29, 2023, and December 6, 2023, the
City conducted Community Workshops to provide the public with information on the redistricting
process, to solicit input, and begin reviewing the proposed maps.
H. On November 16, 2023, December 14, 2023, and January 11, 2024, the City
Council held three “post-map” hearings to review the proposed maps and solicit input and
comment from the public.

Palm Desert Redistricting 2023
I. On January 11, 2024, the City Council selected a map for adoption and introduced,
read by title, and waived further reading of this Ordinance.
J. The purpose of this Ordinance is to enact, pursuant to California Government Code
section 34886, an ordinance providing for the election of the Members of the City Council of the
City of Palm Desert by-district in five single-member districts as reflected in Exhibit A to this
Ordinance.
Section 2. Amendment to Code Section 2.38.040 of the Palm Desert Municipal Code is
amended in its entirety to read as follows:
“2.38.040 – ELECTION OF CITY COUNCIL
(A) By-District Elections. Pursuant to California Government
Code section 34886, Members of the City Council of the

single-member districts.
1. Members of the City Council shall be elected in the
electoral districts established by subdivision (B) of
this Section and subsequently reapportioned as
provided by State law. Elections shall take place “by-

Government Code section 34871, meaning one
Councilmember shall be elected from each district,
by the voters of that district alone.
2. A Councilmember elected or appointed to represent
a district must reside in that district and be a
registered voter in that district, and any candidate for
City Council must reside in, and be a registered voter
in, the district in which he or she seeks election at the
time nomination papers are issued.
3. Termination of residency in a district by a
Councilmember shall create a vacancy for that City
Council district unless a substitute residence within
the district is immediately declared and established
within thirty (30) days after the termination of
residency.
4. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section,
the Councilmembers in office at the time this Section
takes effect shall continue in office until the
expiration of the term to which he or she was elected.
In the event a vacancy occurs in District 1 before the
expiration of the term of a Councilmember in office
at the time this Section takes effect, a person who is
Page 386 of 413
Ordinance No. _____ Page 3
Palm Desert Redistricting 2023
appointed or elected by special election to fill such
vacancy must reside within the boundaries of District
1 as constituted when the Councilmember creating
the vacancy was elected. In the event a vacancy
occurs in District 2 before the expiration of the term
of a Councilmember in office at the time this Section
takes effect, a person who is appointed or elected by
special election to fill such vacancy must reside
within the boundaries of District 2 as constituted
when the Council Member creating the vacancy was
elected. A person(s) appointed or elected to fill such
a vacancy(ies) shall hold the office in accordance
with State law.
(B) City Council Districts and District Elections. All five
Councilmembers shall be elected on a “by-district” basis
from the Council districts shown and numbered on the map
titled ‘City of Palm Desert District Map – Map 109
Renumbered B’ attached as Exhibit A, a copy of which
shall be on file in the City Clerk’s office. In 2024, and every
four years thereafter, the following three City Council
districts shall be elected by-district: District 1; District 2; and
District 3. In 2026, and every four years thereafter, the
following two City Council districts shall be elected by-
district: District 4 and District 5.
(C) Amendment of District Boundaries. Pursuant to Elections
Code section 21601, as it may be amended from time to time,
the City Council shall adjust the boundaries of any or all of
the districts following each decennial federal census to
ensure that the districts are in compliance with all applicable
provisions of law.”
Section 3. Technical District Changes. If necessary to facilitate the implementation of this
Ordinance, the City Clerk is authorized to make technical adjustments to the district boundaries
that do not substantively affect the populations in the districts, the eligibility of candidates, or the
residence of elected officials within any district. The City Clerk shall consult with the City
Manager and City Attorney concerning any technical adjustments deemed necessary and shall
advise the City Council of any such adjustments required in the implementation of the districts.
Section 4. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or
phrase of this Ordinance or any part hereof is for any reason held to be invalid, such invalidity
shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance or any part thereof. The
City Council of the City of Palm Desert hereby declares that it would have passed each section,
subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that
any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases be
declared invalid.

Ms. Wood:
Thank you for your email. It will be provided to the City Council and retained for the official record.
Additionally, if you click this link, you will find an interactive mapping tool in which you can zoom in and out of the
district boundaries similar to Google Maps.
https://ndcresearch.maps.arcgis.com/apps/View/index.html?appid=ffed291898ea45dd87ed07b70fd18704
And finally, I want to mention that the City Council did not consider any adjustments to the District 1 boundaries
because those boundaries were established under the existing settlement agreement. Any changes to District 1 would
require the approval from the plaintiffs and court.

Subject: 109 District Map Public Comment
December 18, 2023
Dear Council Members and Mayor of Palm Desert,
I am commenting on the renumbered 109 Map that you presented online at your December 14th, 2023 council meeting. Do you
have a more detailed map of boundary streets because it is very vague towards Fred Warning area boundaries. I only see a few
major streets on the entire map. Also, why not give Election area 1 the area west of Cook Street before Fred Warning and (by high
school)South of Fred Warning to Deep Canyon . if I am reading the map correctly, it just seems little out of place with these added
areas. I know you are trying to get the population numbers as close as possible to balance all the new districts. District 4 boundaries
seem to zig zag from the Cook Street at that very end.
The voters in this newly proposed area 4 might question this if this little part added at the end includes the residences of current
Councilman Trubee and/or Nestande in it.
Lastly, I did send in a comment by email to council a few months ago requesting that Zone 4 be able to vote in 2024 election for I
believe that this zone has not been represented by a resident in the area of Hovely and Cook to Washington Street in city council
ever if I am correct in the last 20 plus years.

Mr. Schmid:
Thank you for your comment, I completely understand. I have included this issue in the staff report and will share this comment
with the City Council as part of their final public hearing on this matter next week (Thursday, January 11, 2024, at 4:30 p.m. at the
Palm Desert Council Chamber). However, staff will be recommending adoption of Map 109 due to the splitting of this census
block. Of course, the City Council will consider your comment and can direct staff to make the change.
And finally, I want to offer two comments: 1) It can be to the Lakes CC advantage that two Councilmembers will have an interest
in the future of the Lakes CC since it traverses two districts; and 2) Please know that the City is required to redistrict again in 2030
and will likely need to make significant boundary adjustments due to the projected population growth Citywide.
Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Anthony,
We appreciate the adjustment to clean up the street boundaries
We would like to request that the golf course parcel be included within district 3 with the rest of the lakes country club. While
there are no homes on it at this time, there is the potential for the addition of homes there at some point, and we would like to
have all of the property of the community included within a single voting district. We would like to have the residents of the
community and all of the property of their community represented by a single council seat.
Interesting design of that census block drawn in red, would be interesting to know how someone came up with that layout.
Thank you for your consideration.

Mr. Schmid:
Thank you for raising these issues. On the first matter, we are required to follow the census block boundaries and unfortunately
the census blocks do not follow Cook Street or El Dorado as indicated by the “U” shape below. I am inquiring with the
demographer if the boundary can be manually adjusted so that it follows these major streets.
The second issue is a bit harder. As you can see in the below image, the uncolored area is a single census block which contains a
portion of the Lake’s golf course but also includes residential units with a population of 655. Again, I am checking with the
demographer whether the golf course can be manually adjusted so that it is in the same district as the residential units of the
Lakes CC.
I will provide you with an update once I hear back.

Subject: redistricting map questions
R
Hello, I have a few questions on renumbered map 109, which to the best of my understanding is the map currently under
consideration for adoption, which I got from the following link:
https://redistrictpd.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Map-109-Renumbered.pdf
The borderlines of the district around the lakes country club seem irregular. Throughout the other map areas, the borderlines
appear to run down the center of the streets surrounding the communities at the edges, and are clean, straight lines. Around the
lakes country club, they appear to be drawn around the interior streets at the lakes country club, and exclude property owned by
the community, including buildings belonging to the homeowners association.
In this section of the map, you can see along cook street and eldorado, The perimeter areas of the property of the lakes country
club have been excluded from division 3. The boundaries in these areas should run down the middle of cook street and Eldorado
drive, instead of following interior roads at the lakes country club.
Page 394 of 413
A large parcel of land owned by the Lakes homeowners association has been included in division 4 instead of division 3. Seems
like all of the contiguous property of the association should be included in the same district.

To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Anthony J. Mejia, City Clerk
Subject: City Council Meeting of January 11, 2024
Below you will find questions received from the Mayor or Councilmembers and answers provided by
City staff regarding tonight’s City Council meeting:
ITEM 2a: STUDY SESSION: RECEIVE INFORMATION REGARDING THE PROGRESS OF
MUNICIPAL LIBRARY SERVICES AND NEXT STEPS
Q1: With the library being closed in May and June, will there be an additional location added
as a cooling center to offset the most used cooling center due to extended service
hours?
A1: Cooling Centers open in Riverside County on June 1. During the month of June, while the library
is closed, the Joslyn Center and Portola Community Center have agreed to admit all individuals
seeking a cooling center. City staff are reaching out to other city partners to seek their
assistance in operating as a cooling center during the month of June and potentially beyond
June.
ITEM 13c: ADOPT RESOLUTION FOR RECOGNIZED OBLIGATION PAYMENT SCHEDULE AND
ADMINISTRATIVE BUDGETS FOR THE FISCAL PERIOD FROM JULY 1, 2024,
THROUGH JUNE 30, 2025, PURSUANT TO HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE SECTION
34177 AND TAKING CERTAIN RELATED ACTIONS
Q1: Item 4, under ROPS 21-22 Cash Balance; Comments describe Litigation Deposit. How are
the funds generated/ distributed?
A1: The deposit (originally $150,000) was made by the former redevelopment agency prior to
dissolution. It was intended for any SARDA litigation but has and continues to be used for costs
related to the Stipulated Judgment. The Stipulated Judgment was against the City and in favor
of the Western Center on Law and Poverty (obligations listed as line numbers 32, 86, 119, and
160 on the ROPS). In brief: The judgment dates to the 90’s and like many other cities, required
Palm Desert to use its 20% housing set aside funds, generated from redevelopment pass
through monies, at a more restrictive level than what was required by law.
Although the State Department of Finance has not permitted SARDA to receive payments for
the judgment in years, we will not retire the obligation until we receive a vacation of the
judgment. To date, one has not been received so that is why it continues to be listed on our
ROPS with no request for funding. Staff continues to work with legal to determine if alternative
options are available. Costs for those services will eventually deplete the deposit. If at some
point the judgment is vacated and funds remain on deposit, they will be returned to SARDA and
used to pay for other obligations listed on the ROPS.

Q1: Media Market estimates references non-traditional modes, including pole banners. Would
the banners only be placed along the proposed safe routes?
A1: Non-traditional modes, including pole banners, are not limited to any geographic location in
Palm Desert.
ITEM 14d: APPROVE THE 2024 LIST OF SOCIAL MEDIA COMMEMORATIONS
In compiling the list of 2024 Social Media Commemoration submitted for consideration, staff
inadvertently omitted LGBTQ Pride Month and Greater Palm Springs Pride, both of which were
commemorated on the City’s social media channels in 2023. The attached list has been updated to
include them.

Issue 2 - The Lakes Country Club Golf Course

Issue 2 - The Lakes Country Club Golf Course
The census block is oddly
shaped and combines an
unpopulated portion of the
Lakes golf course with 655
residents (outside of the Lakes
Country Club).
All Lakes CC residences are
located within District 3.
This adjustment is not
recommended as it would
require splitting of the census
block and the result would not
align with major streets or easily
identifiable boundaries

Q1: What safeguards will be in place to assure that the alcohol is not consumed by those who

A1: The Palm Desert Area Chamber of Commerce (PDACC) is looking to enhance Cruise Night in
the future and may consider a beer garden as the event grows and more spectators attend. The
waivers have been requested for future possibilities, but alcohol will not be served immediately.
Responsible service is a priority for the PDACC and it will decline service to anyone arriving
impaired or showing signs of intoxication.
