CITY OF PALM DESERT
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 25, 2024
PREPARED BY: Gary Shaffer, Director of Library Services
REQUEST: APPROPRIATE FUNDS TO COVER COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH
VARIOUS NECESSARY LIBRARY IMPROVEMENTS
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize Director of Finance to appropriate funds to Account No. 4524136-4400100 in the
amount of $692,000.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The City is taking over local library services from the County of Riverside and its library operator
LSS, beginning July 1, 2024. While plans are underway to construct a new library, library
services will need to be proffered from the existing facility loc ated on the College of the Desert
campus. In order to prepare the space, the City’s Library Task Force requests that City staff
conduct a light refresh of the space to include new paint, some new carpet, along with new
furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Much, if not all the new furniture and equipment will be able
to be relocated to the new facility once open.
To conduct this refresh, City staff recommends an appropriation from available fund balance in
the Library Improvement Fund.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s office.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The current fund balance available in the Library Improvement Fund is $692,000, therefore staff
is requesting an appropriation to Account No. 4524136 -440100 for the full amount.

educational activity designed to attract a public audience which benefits the residents and
visitors of Palm Desert. (i.e., festival, walk, run, fashion show, concert, parade, breakfast,
luncheon, dinner, etc.)
The program guidelines were most recently updated in 2022. In keeping with the City’s goals to
improve efficiency and accountability utilizing best practices, additional revision s are being
suggested at this time.
The most notable suggested revision is to the funding timeline. Our goal is to make the process
fair and consistent with the Outside Agency Funding Program in that organizations and
individuals will only be eligible for funding awarded during adoption of the fiscal year budget, i.e.,
there will no longer be miscellaneous review and consideration of requests for funding
throughout the fiscal year, with the exception of table sponsorships.
Below summarizes the additional suggested changes:
1. Removes specific department language throughout.
2. Clearly identifies ineligible organizations and activities.
3. Removes the “Appeal Process” to be consistent with the Outside Agency Funding Program.
These changes will provide clarity to the organizations and individuals applying for community
event sponsorship funding and will make the process consistent with the City’s Outside Agency
Funding Program.

satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any

clauses from each of its subcontractors.
5.13 Enforcement of Contract Provisions (non estoppel): Consultant acknowledges

Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional
obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or
other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any
insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of
clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or
insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of
any type. If the 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.
5.15 Notice of Cancellation: Consultant agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker

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.
5.19 Pass Through Clause: Consultant agrees to ensure that its sub-consultants, sub-
contractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or
involved in the project by 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 consultants,
subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for
review.
5.20 City’s Right to Revise Specifications: The City or its Risk Manager reserves the
right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and
types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days
advance written notice of such change. If such change results in
substantial 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.
5.21 Self-Insured Retentions: Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and
approved by City. City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be
eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be
considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by City.

and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may

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

claims, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses, liability, loss, damage or
injury of any kind, in law or equity, to property or persons, including wrongful
death, in any manner arising out of, pertaining to, or incident to any acts, errors
or omissions, or willful misconduct of Consultant, its officials, officers, employees,
subconsultants or agents in connection with the performance of the Consultant’s
services or this Agreement, including without limitation the payment of all
damages, expert witness fees and attorney’s fees and other related costs and
expenses. Consultant's obligation to indemnify shall not be restricted to insurance

Code Section 1720, et seq., and 1770, et seq., as well as California Code of
Regulations, Title 8, Section 16000, et seq., ("Prevailing Wage Laws"), which
require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other
requirements on "public works" and "maintenance" projects. If the services under
this Agreement are being performed as part of an applicable "public works" or
"maintenance" project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and if the total
compensation is $1,000 or more, 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

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, and volunteers free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of
any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws.

CITY OF PALM DESERT
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 25, 2024
PREPARED BY: Lucero Leyva, Project Manager
REQUEST: AUTHORIZE PURCHASE OF PARAMEDIC UNIT FOR NEW FIRE
STATION 102
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Authorize the purchase of a new paramedic unit for the new Fire Station 102 in an amount
not to exceed $303,449.02, pursuant to sections 3.30.160(I) and 3.30.160(J) of the Palm
Desert Municipal Code.
2. Authorize Directory of Finance to set aside a 20% contingency in the amount of $60,689.80.
3. Authorize the City Attorney to make any necessary non -monetary changes to the agreement.
4. Authorize the City Manager to execute all documents necessary to effectuate this action.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On January 26, 2023, the City Council approved the design of a fourth fire station to be located
just north of the Gerald Ford Drive and Frank Sinatra Drive intersection. This new fire station,
referred to as Fire Station 102, will help better serve the area's existing and developing
communities. Currently, Fire Station 102 is tentatively scheduled to start operations in the Fall
of 2025.
While Fire Station 102 is still undergoing the entitlement process with the City, staff has received
a quote from Frazer for the purchase of a new paramedic unit. The quote was initiated and
reviewed by CalFire to ensure the new paramedic unit met the requirements and specifications
of the CalFire Agency. The new paramedic unit has an estimated eighteen-month to two-year
lead time. City Staff will be working closely with the Cal Fire Staff and Frazer to expedite any
part of the ordering process and ensure Fire Station 102 opens with all the equipment needed
to serve its communities.
Staff has determined that Frazer is the only source that can provide this type of unit. Due to this
fact and the need to timely equip the new fire station with a paramedic unit, proceeding with the
purchase without further bidding is in City’s best interest. Accordingly, staff recommends the
approval of the paramedic unit purchase to avoid or mitigate any delays to the Fire Station 102
project schedule.
Strategic Plan:
This project will allow the City to meet the “Public Safety & Emergency Service – Priority 1”
Enhance the delivery of public safety services” of the Strategic Plan.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

CITY OF PALM DESERT
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 25, 2024
PREPARED BY: Anthony J. Mejia, City Clerk
REQUEST: PALM DESERT REDISTRICTING 2023: ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE
ESTABLISHING CITY COUNCIL ELECTION DISTRICT BOUNDARIES
AND SCHEDULING ELECTIONS WITHIN THE DISTRICTS AND
INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE ELIMINATING USE OF RANKED
CHOICE VOTING
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt Ordinance No. 1406 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.”
2. Introduce an Ordinance entitled, “AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, REPEALING SECTION 2.38.050 OF CHAPTER 2.38
(“GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS”) OF TITLE 2 (“ADMINISTRATION AND
PERSONNEL”) OF THE PALM DESERT MUNICIPAL CODE TO IN ORDER TO ELIMINATE
RANKED CHOICE VOTING FOR THE ELECTION OF MEMBERS OF THE CITY
COUNCIL.”
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.
In accordance with the FAIR MAPS Act, as amended, the City facilitated two map drawing
workshops, three community workshops, and five public hearings. A total of six draft maps were
submitted by the public and three draft maps were submitted by the City’s demographer.
On November 16, 2023, the City Council held a public hearing and considered all submitted
maps and selected Map 109 as a focus map for further consideration.
On December 14, 2023, “Map 109 Renumbered” was presented by staff to ensure that the
sequence of elections resulted in the districts being up for election in numerical order (such as
Districts 1, 2, and 3 being up for election in Novemb er 2024 and Districts 4 and 5 in November
2026). Following the public hearing, the City Council reaffirmed its preference for “Map 109
Renumbered.”

City of Palm Desert
Palm Desert Redistricting 2023
Page 2 of 2
On January 11, 2024, City staff presented “Map 109 Renumbered B” noting that it was modified
to correct 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. Following the public hearing, the
City Council unanimously adopted “Map 109 Renumbered B” and introduced Ordinance
No. 1406 defining district boundaries and scheduling elections within the districts.
It is important to note that the four members of City Council elected to the current District 2
(based on the map approved in 2022) will continue to serve as representatives of said district
until their term expiration. In November 2024, Districts 1, 2, and 3 will be up for election
and those elected will then serve as Councilmembers of the newly established districts.
In November 2026, Districts 4 and 5 will go up for election and at that point those elected will
represent said districts and the transition to five single-member districts will be complete.
NEXT STEPS:
Upon approval of the ordinance establishing district boundaries and scheduling elections, City
staff will notify and provide implementation files to the Riverside County Registrar of Voters. At
the February 15, 2024, City Council meeting, City staff will submit a Summary Report on
Redistricting Outreach and as required by Elections Code 21130(f), a report that explains the
basis on which the City Council made its decision in achieving compliance with the redistricting
requirements and criteria.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by William Priest and the City Attorney’s Office.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact associated with this action.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT,
CALIFORNIA, REPEALING SECTION 2.38.050 OF CHAPTER 2.38
(“GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS”) OF TITLE 2 (“ADMINISTRATION
AND PERSONNEL”) OF THE PALM DESERT MUNICIPAL CODE TO IN
ORDER TO ELIMINATE RANKED CHOICE VOTING FOR THE ELECTION
OF MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
WHEREAS, on June 5, 2019, two plaintiffs, represented by attorney Kevin Shenkman
and other legal counsel, filed a lawsuit against the City alleging a violation of t he California
Voting Rights Act (CVRA) based on the City’s use of an at -large election system for City
Council members; and
WHEREAS, while the City did not believe that its at-large election system violated the
CVRA, due to the low threshold of proof required by the CVRA, the unanimously unsuccessful
efforts by California cities to defend against such lawsuits to date, and the considerable cost
of defending such lawsuits, the City decided to settle the case with Mr. Shenkman and his
clients; and
WHEREAS, on December 12, 2019, the City and the plaintiffs announced a settlement
of the lawsuit, the principal elements of the settlement being as follows:
• A two-district election system was approved as outlined in the Court-approved
electoral district map. District 1 would represent the “Civic Center District”
(approximately 20% of the City’s total population) and elect one member to the
City Council. District 2 (the “Outer District”) would represent the remainder of the
City (approximately 80% of the City’s total population) and elect the other four
members to the City Council.
• The City would implement ranked choice voting (RCV) for City Council elections
at the November 2020 General Municipal Election or the earliest practicable
election date.
• The City is prohibited for 10 years from conducting any further at-large elections
except as set forth above. However, this shall not preclude the Council from
adopting a five single-member district electoral system in accordance with
applicable law.
WHEREAS, in early 2020, the City followed the public hearing, outreach and input
procedure set forth in AB 350 and, pursuant to the legal authority in Government Code sections
34871 and 34886, adopted Ordinance No. 1356 on May 14, 2020, approving a two-district
electoral map that transitioned the City from an entirely at-large system and which established
RCV.
WHEREAS, at the November 2020 General Municipal Election, the City elected one
Council member from District 1 and two Council members from District 2. The City was unable
to conduct RCV at that time due to timing and logistics issues caused by the COVID -19
pandemic; and
WHEREAS, at that November 2022 General Municipal Election, the City elected two
Council members from District 2 and held its first election by RCV; and
Page 135 of 209
Ordinance No. 2024-___ Page 2
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that conducting RCV in the November 2022
General Municipal Election resulted in substantial voter confusion and misunderstanding, and
did not serve the City’s residents well during the time of the Election; and
WHEREAS, based upon this, the City Council desires to repeal RCV in the City for
future Council elections; and
WHEREAS, as part of discussions with Mr. Shenkman and his clients, they and the
City have agreed that, under the CVRA settlement agreement, the City is permitted to
transition to a five-district electoral system and, after doing so, is no longer obligated to
maintain RCV for the City’s election system; and
WHEREAS, after following the public hearing, outreach and input procedure set forth
in State Elections Code for redistricting, and pursuant to the legal authority in Government
Code sections 34871 and 34886, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1406 on January
25, 2024, approving a transition from a two-district electoral system to a five-district electoral
system for City Council members, starting with the November 5, 2024, General Municipal
Election; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has satisfied all other prerequisites to adoption of this
Ordinance repealing RCV in future City of Palm Desert City Council elections.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT,
CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. REPEAL OF MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION. Section 2.38.050 of
Chapter 2.38 of Title 2 of the Palm Desert Municipal Code pertaining to ranked choice voting
(RCV) is hereby repealed in its entirety.
SECTION 2. SEVERABILITY. If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, or
clause or phrase in this Ordinance or any part thereof is for any reason held to be
unconstitutional, invalid or ineffective by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision
shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining portions of this Ordinance or any
part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted each section
irrespective of the fact that any one or more subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses,
or phrases are declared unconstitutional, invalid, or ineffective.
SECTION 3. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Ordinance shall become effective thirty (30)
days from its adoption.
SECTION 4. PUBLICATION. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this
Ordinance and cause it, or a summary of it, to be published in a newspaper of general
circulation printed and published within the City of Palm Desert, pursuant to all legal
requirements.

REQUEST: AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ANY AND ALL
DOCUMENTS NECESSARY FOR THE SALE OF 45-656 MOUNTAIN

RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Manager to execute any and all documents necessary for the sale of 45 -656
Mountain View Avenue, Palm Desert.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On August 24, 2023, the City executed a Purchase and Sale Agreement and Escrow Instruction
(PSA) with Maureen Gage and Stephen P. Yinger for the sale of the City-owned house situated
at 45-656 Mountain View Avenue.
Following the execution of the PSA, escrow was opened, but a legal case against the previous
property owner’s Trust, unrelated to the City's interests, caused a delay in the property transfer.
The case's resolution, followed by a mandatory forty (40) day waiting period by the escrow
company, has now concluded.
To proceed with the property's sale, the escrow company requires formal authorization from the
City Council for the City Manager to execute pertinent documents.
Therefore, staff requests City Council approval for the City Manager to execute any and all
documents related to the sale of the City-owned property at 45-656 Mountain View Avenue.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s office.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Upon the sale of the property, the City will receive $549,000.

CITY OF PALM DESERT
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 25, 2024
PREPARED BY: Eric Ceja, Director of Economic Development
REQUEST: APPROVE THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENT 98-1 BETWEEN THE CITY OF PALM DESERT AND
MARRIOTT OWNERSHIP RESORTS, INC.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt a Resolution entitled, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF PALM DESERT AND MARRIOTT
OWNERSHIP RESORTS, INC., CASE NO. DA 98-1, AMENDMENT NO. 2.”
2. Approve the Second Amendment to the Development Agreement (DA 98 -1) between the City
of Palm Desert and Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc.
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Second Amendment to the Development
Agreement.
4. Authorize the City Attorney to make necessary, non-monetary changes to the Second
Amendment to the Development Agreement.
5. Authorize adjustment of $1,600,000 to Timeshare Mitigation Revenue Account Number
1100000-3122900.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
In 1998, the City of Palm Desert approved a Development Agreement (“DA”) with Marriott
Ownership Resorts (“Marriott”), for the development of the Marriott Shadow Ridge Golf Club,
located at the southeast corner of Monterey Avenue and Gerald Ford Drive. The agreement
required the development of an 18-hole golf course with approximately 1,200 timeshare units.
Additionally, Marriott was to remit a facilities fee equivalent to $30 per week, per unit, and subject
to increases in the consumer price index (CPI), to the City for a period of 20 years. The initial 20-
year term of the DA has been extended through an amendment and expires in December 2030.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s office.
Strategic Plan:
1. Land Use, Housing, and Open Space, Priority 2: “Facilitate the development of high-
quality housing for people of all income levels.”
2. Land Use, Housing, and Open Space, Priority 5: “Utilize progressive land use policies
and standards to support ongoing and future needs.”

Second Amendment to Development Agreement 98-1
Page 2 of 2
Project Description:
In 2020, Marriot approached the City and expressed that the timeshare market is saturated in
the Coachella Valley, and they would like to pursue other options including the development of
single-family homes with the Shadow Ridge development. In late 2022, Marriott returned to the
City with a proposal to convert roughly 18.75-acres of undeveloped land to 93 higher-end single
family homes rather than the remaining timeshare units. City staff expressed concerns with the
loss of revenue from the facilities fee as the new single -family homes would not be subject to
the fee. In lieu of the additional facilities fee the second amendment to the Development
Agreement anticipates:
- A one-time $1.6M payment to the City from Marriott upon sale of the property to Toll
Brothers, Inc., for the development of the 93 homes. The new homes are situated in a
zoning district which allows for short-term rentals. However, there are no current
projections on how much additional TOT would be generated from this site.
The Second Amendment to the Development Agreement is limited to Marriott’s remittance of
$1.6M to the City of Palm Desert upon the transfer of 18.75 -acres to Toll Brothers. A separate
Development Agreement will be processed with the planning entitlements that Toll Brothers
brings forwards for consideration through a separate public hearing process. The Development
Agreement for Toll Brothers also anticipates:
- The creation of a Community Facilities District (“CFD”) for the 18.75 acres. The developer
projects that the CFD may generate $204,600+ to the City in year 1. The benefit of a CFD
is that it will run in perpetuity and may pay for on-going public service costs such as
streets, water, sewage, drainage, electricity, parks, and public safety to newly developing
areas. CFD’s may also pay for infrastructure, but that is not in this plan.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Approval of this amendment will result in the City forgoing the facilities fee for the remaining
timeshare units and accept the creation of a CFD for services; and one-time in-lieu fee of
$1,600,000 to the General Fund.

PROJECT LOCATION/DESCRIPTION:
PROJECT LOCATION: Shadow Ridge Golf Club; 9002 Shadow Ridge Road
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: In 1998, the City of Palm Desert (“City”) and Marriott Ownership
Resorts, Inc., (“Marriott”) entered into a Development Agreement (DA 98-1) to establish the
Shadow Ridge Golf Club. The Club encompasses 300+ acres along Monterey Avenue, north of
Frank Sinatra Drive, and was intended to develop in six (6) separate phases and construct up to
999 timeshare units and associated amenities. Due to changing market conditions, Marriott now
wishes to amend the Development Agreement and sell-off nearly 19-acres to a national home
builder for the construction of 93-single-family homes. To effectuate this change an amendment
to the Development Agreement is necessary. In exchange for the changes in the land -use plan
of Shadow Ridge, the City and Marriott have agreed that Marriott will provide the City a portion of
the land sale price and establish a Service CFD for the new single-family subdivision.
