15.b INTRODUCE ORDINANCE NO. 1410 TO ADOPT A NOTICE OF EXEMPTION
UNDER CEQA AND ADOPT A ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO
IMPLEMENT RESIDENTIAL AND MIXED-USE OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS
Mayor Quintanilla opened the public hearing.
Principal Planner Melloni and John Kaliski and Amee Bhatt, of JK Architects, narrated
a PowerPoint presentation summarizing the proposed residential and mixed-use
objective design standards (ODS).
Mayor Quintanilla closed the public hearing, there being no one wishing to speak.
During the course of discussion, the City’s consultant and staff responded to inquiries
as follows:
• There is a process, such as review by the Architectural Review Commission, in
which a developer who wishes to propose a project which does not conform to
the ODS may seek an exception.
• There is a need to establish ODS as the State has restricted the City’s ability to
apply subjective standards on certain residential and mixed-use housing
projects.
• Explained that a “sense of quality” as referenced in the ODS refers to the idea
that the City Council, through the creation of ODS, will ensure a sense of
quality in future projects.
• A landscaping expert will be consulted regarding the appropriateness of hybrid
Palo Verde trees being included in the acceptable plant palate and will report
back to the City Council.
Following discussion, it was agreed that the ODS should be modified as follows:
• Chapter 3, Passive and Active Amenities: Create consistent “number of
dwelling units” categories for both passive and active amenities and amend
Table 3.9.3. to increase number of required active amenities.
• Chapter 3, Landscape and Open Space: Explicitly prohibit any invasive,
noxious, and nuisance plant species, inclusive of the Washingtonia robusta.
• Chapter 4: Building Architecture: Revise language so that no building wall shall
exceed 250 feet in length.
• Chapter 4. Building Architecture: Revise language so that a 40-foot open-to-
the-sky building breaks shall be provided between resulting structures.
• Chapter 4, Building Architecture: Revise language so that a minimum of four
out of the 11 options for building modulation must be utilized.
• Chapter 5, Parking: Remove language that prohibits surface parking lots in the
frontage setback or between buildings and the public street. If someone were
to place a surface parking lot in this area, they would be required to provide a
fence, wall, or 10’ landscape buffer.
• Chapter 6, ODS Compliance Checklist: Correct the Multifamily Compliance
Checklist reference to “ODS 3.14” to “ODS 3.5.2.”

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 28, 2024
PREPARED BY: Randy Chavez, Deputy Director of Public Works
REQUEST: APPROVE CHANGE ORDER NO. 3 INCREASING CONTRACT NO.
C41880 WITH MARIPOSA LANDSCAPES, INC., OF IRWINDALE,
CALIFORNIA, IN AN ANNUAL AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $150,000 AND
ADD MAINTENANCE SERVICES TO NON-LANDSCAPED AREAS
(PROJECT NO. MLS00008)
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve Change Order No. 3 to increase Contract No. C41880 with Mariposa Landscapes,
Inc. of Irwindale, California, in an annual amount of $150,000 and add maintenance services
to non-landscaped areas for a total annual contract amount of $661,408.56.
2. Increase irrigation, plant, and related extra work and services to an annual amount of
$125,000.
3. Authorize the Finance Director to appropriate prorated funds in the amount of $75,000 from
Unobligated General Fund to Account No. 1104310 -4332000, R/M Streets for Fiscal Year
2023/24.
4. Authorize the City Manager to approve change orders and amendments associated with this
contract based on staff’s recommendations.
5. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute said change order.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On October 14, 2021, the City Council awarded Contract No. C41880 to Mariposa Landscapes,
Inc., of Irwindale, California (Mariposa) for a term of 56 months. Contract No. C41880 is referred
to as Landscape Maintenance Area No. 1 (LMA 1) and set to expire June 30, 2026. LMA 1
consists of maintaining citywide landscape medians and parkways throughout the City. The
predominant activities include weed abatement, litter removal, pruning, raking, irrigation repairs.
Due to recent rain events, there has been a proliferation of weeds throughout the city, including
City Rights-of-Way and non-landscaped medians. Unchecked, unsightly weeds encroach into
bike and vehicular travel lanes, so there has been an increase in calls related to nuisance sand
and debris. These areas are normally maintained by City Street maintenance staff. High
frequency maintenance activities include weed abatement, litter removal, pruning of encroaching
plant material, illegal dumping removal, and sidewalk cleaning.
In addition, Street staff perform time-sensitive activities such as, street and sidewalk repairs,
Citywide special projects, catch basin and culvert cleaning, graffiti removal, and emergency and
vehicle accident response.
Page 111 of 382
City of Palm Desert
Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. C41880 Change Order No. 3
Page 2 of 2
At times, when there are prolonged wind or rain events or other emergency calls, staff must
prioritize work activities. Unfortunately, tasks such as litter removal and weed abatement are
given a low priority.
To sustain maintenance continuity, on March 5, 2024, staff requested an estimate from Mariposa
to perform as needed weed abatement, litter removal, sidewalk cleaning, and other ancillary
work on city-maintained Rights-of-Way, fallow medians, drainage channels, and areas
historically maintained by City staff. The type of work needed is similar in scope to the work
Mariposa is currently performing under their current agreement.
The intent is to support staff during busy maintenance periods, giving them time to focus on
priority tasks. Since Mariposa has performed their contractual obligations satisfactorily, Staff
recommends approving Change Order No. 3 , which will ensure the City’s Rights-of-Way and
other infrastructure are maintained at the highest level.
Due to the increase in labor and materials costs, staff also requests to increase the irrigation,
plant, and related extra work and services allowable annual amount from $100,000 to $125,000.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office.

maintenance; however, no funds were included for this activity in Fiscal Year 2023-24. To
immediately address unsightly areas and bring them up to City standards, staff requests

of the fiscal year. Funding for future years will be budgeted accordingly during each budget
approval process.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Date: March 28, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Anthony J. Mejia, City Clerk
Subject: City Council Meeting of March 28, 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 2b: STUDY SESSION: UPDATE ON ANIMAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH RIVERSIDE
COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES
Q1: Page 25. Is this for Palm Desert only?
A1: Yes, these are the total number of animals (dogs, cats, birds, others) sheltered annually for the
City of Palm Desert.
Q2: Page 25. How is this calculated? Are these numbers only relative to the Thousand Palms
location?
A2: These numbers reflect the total number of dogs and cats, the overall number of days in the shelter,
and the average.
For example, from July – February of this fiscal year, there were a total of 145 dogs & cats
sheltered for 670 days, with an average of 5 sheltered days per animal. Our contract stipulates
that animals shall be housed at the Coachella Valley Animal Campus in Thousand Palms. The
County does have the discretion to take animals to other county f acilities at their discretion e.g.
no capacity at the time etc.
Q3: Does the City pay per animal that is taken in, or does the City pay for euthanasia fees?
A3: The City pays a daily sheltering rate of $34.10 per day plus a $10.44 charge per impound for each
dog or cat. There are no additional costs for euthanasia fees, or spaying/neutering a stray before
they are adopted.
Q4: Page 31. Has there been any interest from the community in having these again (mobile
clinic)? How were they advertised?
A4: Staff is not aware of any interest from the community in hosting mobile clinics. In 2013, when the
last mobile clinic was held it was advertised at the Shelter, in Brightside, and flyers at City Hall.

ITEM 13e: AUTHORIZE AN AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT NO. A43790 WITH FG CREATIVE
INCREASING COMPENSATION FOR PALM DESERT AQUATIC CENTER MARKETING
SERVICES
Q1: What is the breakdown of their justification to increase account services by nearly $2000?
A1: With the renegotiation of the operational contract with the YMCA, greater emphasis has been
placed on marketing the Aquatic Center. The enhanced scope of work required more hours over
the second quarter of the year, which correlates to a higher fee for account services.
Q2: How many billboards is the City getting for $10,500? What is the ROI on billboards?
A2: Billboards are useful for brand-building and reaching new audiences with information about the
Aquatic Center. They are part of the previously approved PDAC budget, and placement has been
spread out over the fiscal year as part of Lamar's digital billboard program. This program provides
tremendous flexibility in messaging and placement, when compared to a traditional static billboard
that would have one location and one message for the duration of the contract.
Q3: Where will they be placed?
A3: These digital billboards are placed in 10 locations around the valley, and the PDAC slot rotates
from board to board, allowing the messaging to be seen in multiple locations.
Q4: What website enhancements are they planning to implement for a $3,000 increase?
A4: This fee is for a complete website redesign, including new photography, an updated, more user-
friendly design, new programming, and reservation portals.
ITEM 13f: AUTHORIZE AN AMENDMENT TO INCREASE THE CITY'S CONTRACT WITH FG
CREATIVE FOR EL PASEO PARKING & BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT
MARKETING SERVICES
Q1: What services are listed in the original contract with FG Creative, C43370?
A1: Below is the scope of services outlined in Contract C43370:
• Develop an annual budget that includes a comprehensive, strategic and diversified media plan
and account management that promotes El Paseo to its target audience, in accordance with
direction provided by the Board. This media plan should demonstrate maximum efficiency of
spend and a clear ability to measure return on investment (ROI).
Negotiate, schedule, and maintain media buys in accordance with the approved media plan.
Please note that all buys performed on behalf of the EPPBID must be billed at net amounts.
Provide media administrative services including, but not limited to, record keeping; flowcharts;
budget recaps; billing; processing payment; maintaining media buy schedules; buy
confirmations; tracking make goods and credits; trafficking of creative materials.
Develop and implement a monthly merchant outreach program.
Attend and present pertinent updates at the monthly EPPBID Board meetings.
Evaluate all media proposals submitted to the Board and issue recommendations based on cost,
validity, and perceived benefits to the marketing/advertising objectives of the Board.
Provide monthly and quarterly reports summarizing project activities and achievements of all
services outlined in this scope of work.
Submit detailed invoices to include the projects and services worked on or completed with
supporting documentation for the previous month's activities.
Develop an annual branding campaign and create all graphic assets as needed to fulfill the
media plan and all outbound marketing. To include but not limited to: digital, print, radio and
collateral material, and other elements, as mandated by the media plan.

03/28/2024 Question & Answer Memo
Page 3 of 4
Create a strategic Social Media Plan and manage all aspects of the EPPBID social media
channels, including but not limited to Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
• Organize and manage two Merchant meetings per year if viable (Pre-Season and Post-Season).
• Manage Public Relations efforts as needed on behalf of the EPPBID.
Agency shall represent EPPBID's voice and vision when working with media partners, in the
best interest of the “El Paseo" brand.
Q2: How often has EPPBID had to tap into their reserves in the last 6 years?
A2: Fortunately, staff is not aware of any time the EPPBID has had to tap into its reserves to cover a
budget shortfall. Because EPPBID funds fluctuate depending on revenues collected from
members of the district, the board's first pass at its annual budget is always conservative, based
on an average of the previous six years' revenue. As the actual revenues accrue, the board then
revisits marketing priorities based on actual funds available in excess of its reserves and makes
a mid-year budget adjustment. This careful approach allows the board to maintain good
stewardship over its constantly fluctuating and unpredictable resources.
Q3: How much was taken from the reserve in 2020?
A3: When the pandemic hit in early 2020, the EPPBID Board drastically cut its budget to conserve
funds in light of a projected drastic drop in revenue. As it turned out, sales of luxury goods were
especially strong during the pandemic, so the district finished the year with more funds than
anticipated, and the board did not have to tap into its reserves.
Q4: What are the merchant relations that need to be enhanced?
A4: The Board has prioritized merchant relations over the past several years to achieve its goals of
supporting small store owners while ensuring that it is representing its members well. The results
were positive in terms of having an engaged and active membership. For FY 2023-2024, the board
reluctantly reduced the budget spent on merchant relations in order to address other marketing
priorities. When deciding on how to apply a mid-year budget adjustment this year, the board voted
to bring that line item back up to what it has been in past fiscal years.
Q5: Will merchant relations be uniform from Highway 74 to Portola?
A5: Yes, the monthly report highlights that an equal amount of time is spent on each block of the
district.
Q6: What enhancements are going to be made?
A6: The budget increase allows for more one-on-one marketing meetings, more store visits, and
greater support during the summer months.
ITEM 13k: APPROPRIATE FUNDS FOR NEW LIBRARY FACILITY PROJECT AND AWARD
ARCHITECT CONTRACT TO RICHÄRD KENNEDY ARCHITECTS FOR CONCEPTUAL
DESIGN SERVICES (PROJECT NO. CFA00027)
Q1: Won't it make more sense to request this work after a decision is made about the new
library site? Might the available footprint be a significant variable in the design work?
A1: The Architect’s scope of work for Conceptual Design Services will be required regardless of site
location. The anticipated building program is approximately 20,000 to 25,000 SF. All sites currently
being considered will support the required footprint. Funds for other preconstruction services and
architect contingency identified in the Staff Report will be utilized to analyze the other sites.

ITEM 14d: RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING PROCEDURES FOR THE SELECTION OF THE MAYOR
AND MAYOR PRO TEM
Q1: If there is a desire to maintain a seniority-based rotation for the position of Mayor and
Mayor Pro Tem, may ties be broken by mutual agreement? Are there any rules which can
be imposed that if a member declines service it does not result in a disruption to the normal
rotation?
A1: Yes, if the City Council prefers a seniority-based rotation it is permissible to allow ties to be broken
by mutual agreement. Under this rule, if two or more members are tied, they may come to a mutual
agreement on the sequence of who will serve as Mayor Pro Tem. If mutual agreement is not
reached, it is recommended that ties be broken by lot (such as a coin toss, drawing straws, or
high card from a standard deck).
Under the current resolution, if a member declines service as Mayor Pro Tem ther e is no
mechanism to reset the member’s seniority since last serving as Mayor, if ever. This results in the
member who declined maintaining their seniority and having preference to serve as Mayor Pro
Tem in future years. A rule may be imposed that if a member declines to serve, then that member’s
future placement in the rotation will be as if they served in the year for which service is waived.
Furthermore, it is recommended that the priority be based on “the longest continuous service since
last serving as Mayor or Mayor Pro Tem, if ever.” This will ensure that a member who served as
Mayor Pro Tem but declines service as Mayor will have their seniority reset.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 28, 2024
PREPARED BY: Thomas Soule, Public Affairs Manager
REQUEST: AUTHORIZE AN AMENDMENT TO INCREASE THE CITY'S CONTRACT
WITH FG CREATIVE FOR EL PASEO PARKING & BUSINESS
IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT MARKETING SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Authorize an amendment to Contract C43370 with FG Creative in the amount of $15,000.
2. Authorize the City Attorney to make any necessary nonmonetary changes to the agreement.
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute said agreement on behalf of the City.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The original Fiscal Year 2023-24 El Paseo Parking & Business Improvement District (EPPBID)
budget of $250,000 was approved by the City Council on June 22, 2023. This budget was based
on historical revenues for the district, averaged over the past six years, excluding 2020. The
district typically maintains a reserve of $80,000 to provide a financial cushion in light of uncertain
revenues. Currently, the EPPBID fund has a cash balance of approximately $120,000, so at its
regular meeting on February 16, 2024, the Board approved moving $15,000 out of its cash
reserves to help support its FY 2024 marketing goals by adding Out of Home advertising and
enhancing merchant relations.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s office.
Appointed Body Recommendation:
At its regular meeting on February 16, 2024, the EPPBID Board unanimously voted to adopt a
mid-year budget adjustment of $15,000 to enhance its marketing plan.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This request has no impact on the General Fund. Funds in the amount of $15,000 are available
in EPPBID Account No. 2714491-4321500.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 28, 2024
PREPARED BY: Erica Powell, Management Analyst
REQUEST: APPROVE CULTURAL ARTS COMMITTEE FISCAL YEAR 2024/25
WORK PLAN
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Cultural Arts Committee’s Fiscal Year 2024/25 Work Plan.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On February 14, 2024, the Cultural Arts Committee (CAC) established the following priorities for
the FY 2024/25 Work Plan.
2025/26 El Paseo Sculpture Exhibition - Located in the median on El Paseo between
Hwy 74 and Portola, eighteen (18) sculptures are displayed for two (2) years. A $5,000
honorarium is awarded to each artist. One (1) year preparation from the Call for Entries
to Installation. From July 2024 to early 2025, staff will be working with the new artists on
contracting and plans for installation, as well as the current artists on plans for
deinstallation and pick up of sculptures.
San Pablo Phase II Roundabout Sculpture: Dueling Palms by Kyle Absolom - After
the Call for Entries was released in early 2021 for a sculpture to be installed in the
roundabout at San Pablo Avenue and San Gorgonio Way, the top two (2) finalists were
selected by the City Council and the community voted on their favorite. The runner up,
Dueling Palms by Kyle Absolom, was so well received by the community that the Cultural
Arts Committee and the City Council suggested it be considered for installation in the San
Pablo Phase II roundabout located at the entrance of the Civic Center and College of the
Desert. Staff will bring this forward for review in the next few months and if approved,
work will commence in FY 2024/2025.
2025 Desert X Sponsorship – Desert X is an internationally renowned contemporary art
exhibition that runs biannually each spring throughout the Coachella Valley. Since its
inception in 2017, the City has provided sponsorship funding and hosted at least two
exhibition sites for each Desert X exhibition. Funds are normally used towards exhib ition

CITY OF PALM DESERT
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 28, 2024
PREPARED BY: Martin Alvarez, Director of Public Works
REQUEST: APPROVE A FINAL SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE
MILLENNIUM PALM DESERT HOMEOWNERS’ ASSOCIATION
(GENESIS HOA) TO INSTALL PERIMETER LANDSCAPING AS
REQUIRED IN THE ORIGINAL SUBDIVISION LANDSCAPE PLAN
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve a final settlement agreement with the Millennium Palm Desert HOA for a one-time
reimbursement of the installation of 33 perimeter trees in an amount not to exceed $20,265.
2. Authorize the City Attorney to make any necessary non -monetary changes to the agreement.
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement and any docu ments necessary to
effectuate the actions taken herewith.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The Genesis subdivision, approved in 2015, is located at the northwest corner of Gerald Ford
Avenue and Dinah Shore Dr. and has a frontage on Portola Avenue. As part of the sub division’s
conditions of approval, the perimeter landscape along Gerald Ford Drive, Portola Road, and
Dinah Shore Drive was required to be installed by the developer prior to final release of the
maintenance to the Genesis HOA. Prior to final approval of t he subdivision’s improvements
including streets, curbs, gutters, and perimeter landscaping, the City was required to inspect all
improvements. Due to the City’s oversight, the improvements apart from the perimeter
landscaping were inspected per the approved plans.
The HOA recently contacted the City and identified that 33 trees were not installed per the
approved City landscape plan. Following a thorough staff review and inspection of the site, our
Development Services Department confirmed that the perimeter landscaping was not installed
per plan and confirmed the missing trees. The developer completed all other required
infrastructure improvements, and the City released the performance and improvement bonds.
The City has worked with the HOA to identify a final settlement agreement to cover the cost of
33 (24” Box) trees that were omitted from the approved landscape plan. The agreement includes
a one-time reimbursement in an amount not to exceed $20,265 for the installation of the trees
and associated irrigation. The final agreement also releases the City of any future liability,
maintenance, and condition of the trees and/or perimeter landscape.
The HOA procured three bids from qualified vendors and the lowest bid was in the amount of
$20,265. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the final settlement agreement. New
procedures have been developed to ensure the inspection of perimeter subdivision landscaping
for all subdivisions from this point forward.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funds for the one-time reimbursement under this final agreement are available in General Services
Account No. 1104159-4309300, so there is no additional financial impact to the general fund.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 28, 2024
PREPARED BY: Randy Chavez, Deputy Director of Public Works
REQUEST: REJECT THE PROPOSAL TO PURCHASE OF A DIESEL STREET
SWEEPER AND APPROVE THE PROPOSAL TO PURCHASE OF CNG
STREET SWEEPER FROM PB LOADER CORPORATION TO IMPROVE
CITYWIDE ROADWAY AND PARKING LOT MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Reject previous request to purchase an Elgin Broom Bear Diesel Street Sweeper from
Haaker Equipment Company of La Verne, California.
2. Authorize the purchase of a CNG Powered Street Chassis with XBroom (Street Sweeper)
from PB Loader Corporation of Fresno, California, in the amount of $624,527.35.
3. Authorize the Director of Finance to set aside a contingency of $25,000 for any unforeseen
fees and ancillary equipment.
4. Authorize the Finance Director to appropriate additional funds in the amount of $170,333.08
from unobligated Equipment Replacement Fund Balance to Account No. 5304310-4403000.
5. Authorize City Manager to approve the use of the contingency and any documents necessary
to effectuate actions taken herewith.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The City of Palm Desert has faced increasing windborne sand events, necessitati ng improved
roadway and parking lot sweeping maintenance. Initially, in response to this challenge, the City
brought forth a proposal for the purchase of a diesel street sweeper, which was approved by the
City Council on February 15, 2024. W hile compliant with emission standards set by the California
Air Resources Board (CARB), upon further review, it was discovered that the diesel street
sweeper did not meet the emission standards mandated by the South Coast Air Quality
Management District (AQMD) under Rule 1186, rendering it ineligible for purchase.
Alternatively, a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) street sweeper is proposed for Council
approval. CNG street sweepers are powered by compressed natural gas, which is a cleaner
burning fuel compared to diesel. They produce lower emissions, contributing to improved air
quality and environmental sustainability. Additionally, CNG is cost -effective and readily available
within a third of a mile radius, making it a viable alternative for street sweeping operations.
Staff contacted PB Loader Corporation (Vendor) to request quotes for different equipment types.
This Vendor provides pricing pursuant to a cooperative purchasing agreement through
Sourcewell. By utilizing this cooperative pricing schedule, the City is assured of the best pricing
on quality products. Thus, procurement requirements have been satisfied as another public
agency conducted public bidding, pursuant to Palm Desert Municipal Code Section 3.30.160(E).

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
Summary:
Over recent years, Palm Desert has received numerous occurrences of windborne sand events
and a corresponding rise in demands for improved roadway and parking lot sweeping
maintenance. As a result, staff reviewed its street sweeping operations, including the current
outsourced level of service, and best practices. After review, staff recommends purchasing a
diesel street sweeper, which is readily available today (no lead time) with approval of this item.
Issue:
Windborne sand events have been increasing over the years, leading to an increase in requests
for street sweeping services. Consequently, the City's street sweeping operations have been
unable to keep up with desired service levels. The necessity for maintaining clean and debris-
free streets has emerged as a priority for the City’s ongoing development and maintenance
efforts, as well as the need for continual emergency preparation.
Existing Operations:
To effectively remove windborne sand from roadways, a combination of proactive measures and
responsive cleaning techniques are employed. The City implements regular street sweeping,
dust control measures, vegetation plantation, and barrier installation. Contracted sweeping
services include:

Page 2 of 4
• Regular Street Sweeping Services (Bi-weekly): The City contracts with a vendor for
arterial and parking lot sweeping for $230,000 annually until June 30, 2028. This covers
all costs for bi-weekly sweeping, and the vendor's performance has been satisfactory.
• CVAG Sweeping Services (Bi-weekly): CVAG's sweeping vendor, funded through
AB2766, sweeps major arterials in Palm Desert (Attachment A). However, they fall short
of the City's standards due to traffic volume, sand accumulation, and other reasons.
Despite outreach, issues persist. The City allocates $60,000 annually for this service.
Staff have reached out for quotes for additional sweeping and are awaiting a response.
• Additional Sweeping Services (As-needed): The City contracts with its vendor for extra
services during severe weather. The City recently spent $22,000 on rental equipment in
June and July 2023 and invested $100,000 post-Hilary Storm. Securing a street sweeper
during emergencies took around 30 days in the latest event, impacting prompt response.
Street Sweeper Cost Analysis
Description Annual Cost
Rented Street Sweeper ($14,000 / month): $168,000
Major One-time Event (per year): $50,000
Annual Rental Total: $218,000
Average Lifespan (4 to 8 years): 5
Rental Cost / Additional Emergency Sweeping (5 years): $1,090,000
Purchase New Street Sweeper: $480,000
Equipment Comparison:
Staff contacted Haaker Equipment Company to request quotes for different equipment types.
This company provides pricing pursuant to a cooperative purchasing agreement through
Sourcewell. By utilizing this cooperative pricing schedule, the City is assured of the best pricing
on quality products. Accordingly, staff dispensed further bidding pursuant to Palm Desert
Municipal Code Section 3.30.160(E).
The table below assumes purchasing a mechanical broom street sweeper with the capacity of
over four-cubic yards, which aligns with best practices. The table is also categorized by power
source, delivery time and contract price. Please note that the contract prices cover direct costs
(e.g., equipment and initial training) but not indirect costs (e.g., maintenance and spare parts).
Equipment Comparison
Power Source Delivery Time Contract Price
Electric 12 Months $ 974,850.89
CNG 12-18 Months $ 573,395.94
Diesel Immediately $ 454,194.27
Equipment Comparison:
Page 198 of 382
City of Palm Desert
Authorize Purchase of Street Sweeper
Page 3 of 4
Staff recommends the purchase of an Elgin Broom Bear Street Sweeper (diesel) from Haaker
Equipment Company in an amount totaling $454,194.27. The recommendation also incorporates
a contingency of $25,000 for additional brooms and unforeseen fees. The recommendation of
this model is based upon several factors including:
• Immediate Availability: The street sweeper is readily available for purchase with no lead
time, ensuring swift deployment to address occurrences of windborne sand events. In
fact, this is the last remaining diesel street sweeper inventory, and newer model diesel
street sweepers are prohibited for municipal fleet sale in California beginning 2024.
• Reduced Upfront Expenses: As displayed, the diesel street sweeper has significantly
lower upfront expenses compared to electric and CNG alternatives.
• Reliability in Emergency Situations: In emergency situations, a diesel-powered sweeper
is more reliable than electric and CNG alternatives. It can operate independently during
grid failures or prolonged operations, ensuring continued functionality.
• Proven Suitability for Desert Communities: Mechanical broom sweepers are suited for
desert communities like Palm Desert. They are designed to effectively clean and remove
sand and debris, addressing the unique challenges posed by windborne sand events.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s office.

7. Authorize the City Attorney to make any necessary non -monetary changes to the agreement.
8. Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement and any doc uments necessary to

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On October 12, 2023, the City Council voted to withdraw from the Riverside County Library
System so that the City may operate it as a municipal library, effective July 1, 2024. The City will
operate from this facility beginning on July 1, 2024, until a new facility can be designed,
constructed, and outfitted on city-owned land. The City has entered into a 5-year lease with the
Desert Community College District on the existing library, which should be sufficient time to
design and fully construct the new City library.
This initial design effort will be for Richärd Kennedy Architects to finalize a building program, then
develop 3 budget-tiered conceptual designs, low/middle/high. Concept designs, cost estimates, and
Library Taskforce recommendation will be presented to City Council for approval. The architect will
then complete Schematic Design of the approved concept. Programming through Schematic Design
is anticipated to take approximately 7 months. Following the completion of Schematic Design, City Staff
Page 207 of 382
City of Palm Desert
Transfer Funds for New Library Facility Project and Award Architect Contract
Page 2 of 3
will solicit Bids for Design-Build services. Along with the architect’s design services, other pre-
construction services will include, but are not limited to, site surveys and analyses, soils report,
and cost estimating services.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s office.
Staff Recommendation:
A subcommittee of City staff evaluated qualifications and proposals from 16 architecture firms.
Gary Shaffer, Director of Library Services
Jess Culpeper, Director of Capital Projects
Rosie Lua, Deputy Director of Development Services
Martin Alvarez, Director of Public W orks
Eric Ceja, Director of Economic Development
John Ramont, Deputy Director of Finance
Ryan Lamb, Senior Project Manager
Evaluation criteria for the RFP included the firm’s proposed fee, firm and team member
experience and performance, content of proposal and proposed work plan and schedule. The
top five (5) architecture firms identified through the RFP evaluation process were interviewed by
the subcommittee. Each firm was given 45 minutes to present and respond to 4 standard
questions related to their design process, designing for Palm Desert’s climate, approach to
delivering 3 budget-tiered concept designs, and determine if there would be ways to expedite
the design process without sacrificing quality of work. Upon the completion of the evaluation and
interview process, Richärd Kennedy Architects has subsequently been identified as the top firm
and the recommended firm to be awarded.
Evaluation Report and Selection Summary attached for reference.
FINANCIAL IMP ACT:
The New Library Facility Project was not included in the City’s approved Capital Improvement
Project (CIP) List for FY 2023-24. As part of the separation agreement with the County, the City
will receive $4,000,000 to use toward capital projects. Fun ds will be received no later than June
30, 2024. Upon receipt, the funds will be deposited into the Library Capital Project Fund to offset
costs absorbed by the General Fund.
In the interim, an appropriation of $800,000 for conceptual design and other p reconstruction
services is necessary from Undesignated General Fund Reserves to the General Fund Transfer
Out Account No. 1104199-4501000 and then transferred to the Library Capital Projects Account
No. 4524136-4400100. Funds for future construction and project-related services will be
budgeted during the City’s annual budget process.

CITY OF PALM DESERT
CITY MANAGER’S OFFICE
INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Date: March 28, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Anthony J. Mejia, City Clerk
Subject: City Council Meeting of March 28, 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 2b: STUDY SESSION: UPDATE ON ANIMAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH RIVERSIDE
COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES
Q1: Page 25. Is this for Palm Desert only?
A1: Yes, these are the total number of animals (dogs, cats, birds, others) sheltered annually for the
City of Palm Desert.
Q2: Page 25. How is this calculated? Are these numbers only relative to the Thousand Palms
location?
A2: These numbers reflect the total number of dogs and cats, the overall number of days in the shelter,
and the average.
For example, from July – February of this fiscal year, there were a total of 145 dogs & cats
sheltered for 670 days, with an average of 5 sheltered days per animal. Our contract stipulates
that animals shall be housed at the Coachella Valley Animal Campus in Thousand Palms. The
County does have the discretion to take animals to other county f acilities at their discretion e.g.
no capacity at the time etc.
Q3: Does the City pay per animal that is taken in, or does the City pay for euthanasia fees?
A3: The City pays a daily sheltering rate of $34.10 per day plus a $10.44 charge per impound for each
dog or cat. There are no additional costs for euthanasia fees, or spaying/neutering a stray before
they are adopted.
Q4: Page 31. Has there been any interest from the community in having these again (mobile
clinic)? How were they advertised?
A4: Staff is not aware of any interest from the community in hosting mobile clinics. In 2013, when the
last mobile clinic was held it was advertised at the Shelter, in Brightside, and flyers at City Hall.

ITEM 13e: AUTHORIZE AN AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT NO. A43790 WITH FG CREATIVE
INCREASING COMPENSATION FOR PALM DESERT AQUATIC CENTER MARKETING
SERVICES
Q1: What is the breakdown of their justification to increase account services by nearly $2000?
A1: With the renegotiation of the operational contract with the YMCA, greater emphasis has been
placed on marketing the Aquatic Center. The enhanced scope of work required more hours over
the second quarter of the year, which correlates to a higher fee for account services.
Q2: How many billboards is the City getting for $10,500? What is the ROI on billboards?
A2: Billboards are useful for brand-building and reaching new audiences with information about the
Aquatic Center. They are part of the previously approved PDAC budget, and placement has been
spread out over the fiscal year as part of Lamar's digital billboard program. This program provides
tremendous flexibility in messaging and placement, when compared to a traditional static billboard
that would have one location and one message for the duration of the contract.
Q3: Where will they be placed?
A3: These digital billboards are placed in 10 locations around the valley, and the PDAC slot rotates
from board to board, allowing the messaging to be seen in multiple locations.
Q4: What website enhancements are they planning to implement for a $3,000 increase?
A4: This fee is for a complete website redesign, including new photography, an updated, more user-
friendly design, new programming, and reservation portals.
ITEM 13f: AUTHORIZE AN AMENDMENT TO INCREASE THE CITY'S CONTRACT WITH FG
CREATIVE FOR EL PASEO PARKING & BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT
MARKETING SERVICES
Q1: What services are listed in the original contract with FG Creative, C43370?
A1: Below is the scope of services outlined in Contract C43370:
• Develop an annual budget that includes a comprehensive, strategic and diversified media plan
and account management that promotes El Paseo to its target audience, in accordance with
direction provided by the Board. This media plan should demonstrate maximum efficiency of
spend and a clear ability to measure return on investment (ROI).
Negotiate, schedule, and maintain media buys in accordance with the approved media plan.
Please note that all buys performed on behalf of the EPPBID must be billed at net amounts.
Provide media administrative services including, but not limited to, record keeping; flowcharts;
budget recaps; billing; processing payment; maintaining media buy schedules; buy
confirmations; tracking make goods and credits; trafficking of creative materials.
Develop and implement a monthly merchant outreach program.
Attend and present pertinent updates at the monthly EPPBID Board meetings.
Evaluate all media proposals submitted to the Board and issue recommendations based on cost,
validity, and perceived benefits to the marketing/advertising objectives of the Board.
Provide monthly and quarterly reports summarizing project activities and achievements of all
services outlined in this scope of work.
Submit detailed invoices to include the projects and services worked on or completed with
supporting documentation for the previous month's activities.
Develop an annual branding campaign and create all graphic assets as needed to fulfill the
media plan and all outbound marketing. To include but not limited to: digital, print, radio and
collateral material, and other elements, as mandated by the media plan.
Page 286 of 382
03/28/2024 Question & Answer Memo
Page 3 of 4
Create a strategic Social Media Plan and manage all aspects of the EPPBID social media
channels, including but not limited to Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
• Organize and manage two Merchant meetings per year if viable (Pre-Season and Post-Season).
• Manage Public Relations efforts as needed on behalf of the EPPBID.
Agency shall represent EPPBID's voice and vision when working with media partners, in the
best interest of the “El Paseo" brand.
Q2: How often has EPPBID had to tap into their reserves in the last 6 years?
A2: Fortunately, staff is not aware of any time the EPPBID has had to tap into its reserves to cover a
budget shortfall. Because EPPBID funds fluctuate depending on revenues collected from
members of the district, the board's first pass at its annual budget is always conservative, based
on an average of the previous six years' revenue. As the actual revenues accrue, the board then
revisits marketing priorities based on actual funds available in excess of its reserves and makes
a mid-year budget adjustment. This careful approach allows the board to maintain good
stewardship over its constantly fluctuating and unpredictable resources.
Q3: How much was taken from the reserve in 2020?
A3: When the pandemic hit in early 2020, the EPPBID Board drastically cut its budget to conserve
funds in light of a projected drastic drop in revenue. As it turned out, sales of luxury goods were
especially strong during the pandemic, so the district finished the year with more funds than
anticipated, and the board did not have to tap into its reserves.
Q4: What are the merchant relations that need to be enhanced?
A4: The Board has prioritized merchant relations over the past several years to achieve its goals of
supporting small store owners while ensuring that it is representing its members well. The results
were positive in terms of having an engaged and active membership. For FY 2023-2024, the board
reluctantly reduced the budget spent on merchant relations in order to address other marketing
priorities. When deciding on how to apply a mid-year budget adjustment this year, the board voted
to bring that line item back up to what it has been in past fiscal years.
Q5: Will merchant relations be uniform from Highway 74 to Portola?
A5: Yes, the monthly report highlights that an equal amount of time is spent on each block of the
district.
Q6: What enhancements are going to be made?
A6: The budget increase allows for more one-on-one marketing meetings, more store visits, and
greater support during the summer months.
ITEM 13k: APPROPRIATE FUNDS FOR NEW LIBRARY FACILITY PROJECT AND AWARD
ARCHITECT CONTRACT TO RICHÄRD KENNEDY ARCHITECTS FOR CONCEPTUAL
DESIGN SERVICES (PROJECT NO. CFA00027)
Q1: Won't it make more sense to request this work after a decision is made about the new
library site? Might the available footprint be a significant variable in the design work?
A1: The Architect’s scope of work for Conceptual Design Services will be required regardless of site
location. The anticipated building program is approximately 20,000 to 25,000 SF. All sites currently
being considered will support the required footprint. Funds for other preconstruction services and
architect contingency identified in the Staff Report will be utilized to analyze the other sites.

03/28/2024 Question & Answer Memo
Page 4 of 4
ITEM 14d: RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING PROCEDURES FOR THE SELECTION OF THE MAYOR
AND MAYOR PRO TEM
Q1: If there is a desire to maintain a seniority-based rotation for the position of Mayor and
Mayor Pro Tem, may ties be broken by mutual agreement? Are there any rules which can
be imposed that if a member declines service it does not result in a disruption to the normal
rotation?
A1: Yes, if the City Council prefers a seniority-based rotation it is permissible to allow ties to be broken
by mutual agreement. Under this rule, if two or more members are tied, they may come to a mutual
agreement on the sequence of who will serve as Mayor Pro Tem. If mutual agreement is not
reached, it is recommended that ties be broken by lot (such as a coin toss, drawing straws, or
high card from a standard deck).
Under the current resolution, if a member declines service as Mayor Pro Tem ther e is no
mechanism to reset the member’s seniority since last serving as Mayor, if ever. This results in the
member who declined maintaining their seniority and having preference to serve as Mayor Pro
Tem in future years. A rule may be imposed that if a member declines to serve, then that member’s
future placement in the rotation will be as if they served in the year for which service is waived.
Furthermore, it is recommended that the priority be based on “the longest continuous service since
last serving as Mayor or Mayor Pro Tem, if ever.” This will ensure that a member who served as
Mayor Pro Tem but declines service as Mayor will have their seniority reset.

CITY OF PALM DESERT
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 28, 2024
PREPARED BY: Randy Chavez, Deputy Director of Public Works
REQUEST: AWARD A CONTRACT TO CAL-STRIPE, INC., FOR ON-CALL CITYWIDE
STREET AND BIKE LANE STRIPING IMPROVEMENTS IN AN ANNUAL
AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $450,000 (MST00002)
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Award a 27-month contract to Cal-Stripe, Inc. for On-call Citywide Street and Bike Lane
Striping Improvements in an annual amount not to exceed $450,000, with the option of two,
one-year extensions.
2. Authorize the City Manager to review and approve written contract amendment and change
order requests for unanticipated conditions per Section 3.30.170 of the Palm Desert
Municipal Code.
3. Authorize the City Attorney to make any necessary non -monetary changes to the agreement.
4. Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement and any documents necessary to
effectuate the actions taken herewith.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
To ensure the safety and functionality of City roadways and parking lots, annual contracting for
striping services remains an integral component of our infrastructure maintenance efforts.
As part of this commitment, on January 24, 2024, the City released a Request For Proposal
(RFP) for on-call striping services. This encompasses all public sites in Palm Desert needing
new striping or re-striping, including bike lanes, roadways, and parking lots. The scope also
incorporates repainting of red curbs throughout various streets citywide. While previous services
have been on a project basis, the City is opting for an on-call basis to provide greater flexibility
and efficiency.
The City received three proposals from companies by the deadline of February 22, 2024. The
companies submitting proposals include:
Company Location
Cal-Stripe, Inc. Colton, CA
Superior Pavement Marking Inc. Cypress, CA
PCI Azuza, CA
A Selection Committee comprising of three staff members from the Public Works and Capital
Projects Departments reviewed the proposals. The proposals were reviewed for clarity and
conformance with the guidelines, content of the proposal, experience and perf ormance,
comments by references, and fee proposal (range of costs). As demonstrated below, all three
Page 289 of 382

Page 2 of 3
companies provided the necessary information and satisfactorily fulfilled the essential criteria
required in this RFP.
Criteria Cal-Stripe Superior Pavement PCI
Clarity and Conformance X X X
Proposal Content X X X
Experience and Performance X X X
References X X X
Fee Proposal X X X
Following an evaluation, the Committee proposes awarding a contract to Cal-Stripe, Inc. for on-
call services. Cal-Stripe, Inc. (Contractor) best demonstrated clarity and conformance and
understood exactly the request of this RFP. Despite the pre-bid meeting being optional, the
Contractor displayed their dedication by being the only contractor in attendance, underscori ng
their commitment to understanding the project's scope. The Contractor also demonstrated
extensive experience to further solidify the recommendation.
Although pricing among companies were generally competitive, the Contractor offered many
rates that are favorable when compared to the other companies. It's worth noting that effectively
comparing costs presents challenges due to the contract's on -call nature rather than a low-bid
structure, leading to fluctuations in line-item expenses. Notwithstanding, staff identified many
line items as favorable, underscoring the contractor’s grasp of the service scope.
For instance, given the significant upcoming red curb repainting, the Contractor offered the most
favorable costs for preparation and painting. In addition, the Contractor offers free mobilization
for work exceeding $5,000, a condition highly favorable for the City, considering that most work
falls within this bracket. In contrast, other contractors do not offer this, with mobilization costs
ranging from $1,250 to $4,750 (depending on the scope of service). The cost proposal displays
the Contractor’s comprehension of the project, likely demonstrated by their attendance at the
pre-proposal meeting.
Lastly, the City conducted a thorough reference check on Contractor, receiving commendable
feedback on their past performance, reliability, punctuality in project completion, delivery of high -
quality work, and overall client satisfaction.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funds in the amount of $300,000 are included in the approved Capital Improvement Project
(CIP) List for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 for the Citywide Street Striping and Lane Improvements
Project. Funding for the Bike Lane Striping Project was included under Year 2 (FY 2024-25) of
the CIP List; however, for economies of scale, the two projects were advertised as one project .
Only funds available in this fiscal year will be encumbered at this time, so no appropriation is
necessary. Staff will budget accordingly for future years during the annual budget approval
process.

Proposed Method of Work:
• Once a segment of work is issued by the City of Palm Desert, Adam will provide a budgetary price,
based on unit pricing per the RFP. Included with the price will be a map highlighting the area and
scope of work to be performed. This will enable the city to follow our progress, and this will provide
an on-track price for said scopes of work. A preconstruction meeting will always be welcomed and
encouraged to ensure the city is receiving the management it needs to complete the project or task
at hand.
• A “Mobilization / Move-In” will only be applied to Work Order value of under $5000.00.
• All units provided are considered to be restriping of existing stripe and or marking s. The city must
determine whether it will be thermoplastic or traffic paint materials.
• The current 6” details, per 2018 Caltrans Standards will be implemented.
• A baseline schedule will be provided to allow the city to properly track and inspect the work, as
needed.
• All pricing provided is complete, in place, including equipment, materials, labor and taxes included.
• When curb painting is required, Cal Stripe will clean prep and or scrape the existing loose flaking
paint and dirt off the surface. Once it is cleaned, it will be repainted according to the city’s
requirement.
• The green preformed thermoplastic Bike Lane Markings will be per City Std 205 , following the
manufacturer’s installation instructions.
• The green preformed Sharrow marking will be per City Std. 205H , following the manufacturer’s
instructions.
• When the city requires removals, it will be required to determine the method. Either by grinding, or
waterblasting. Since AQMD and Caltrans doesn’t allow dry sandblasting, this method will not be
used, due to the silica sand content.
o If Grinding is preferred, Cal Stripe will use a Shibeci Polyplaner and a street sweeper,
with water to contain the debris. Once debris is contained, it will be properly disposed
of at a local waste facility.
o If the waterblasting method is preferred, Cal Stripe will use its Stripe Hog SH8000
Blaster Unit. The water must be disposed of in a washout pit or a clean sewer drain,
and the solids will be disposed of at a local waste facility.
o Neither method includes any hazardous testing and or disposal of any kind.
o If the city cannot provide an area for dumping of solid grinding removal debris, the item
for disposal will be applied.

PERFORMANCE BOND
KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS:
THAT WHEREAS, the City of Palm Desert (hereinafter referred to as “City”) has awarded
to Cal-Stripe Inc., (hereinafter referred to as the “Contractor”) an agreement for On-Call Citywide
Roadway and Parking Lot Striping Project (hereinafter referred to as the “Project”).
WHEREAS, the work to be performed by the Contractor is more particularly set forth in
the Contract Documents for the Project dated April 1, 2024, (hereinafter referred to as “Contract
Documents”), the terms and conditions of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference;
and
WHEREAS, the Contractor is required by said Contract Documents to perform the terms
thereof and to furnish a bond for the faithful performance of said Contract Documents.
NOW, THEREFORE, we, Cal-Stripe, Inc., the undersigned Contractor and
_____________________________________________ as Surety, a corporation organized and
duly authorized to transact business under the laws of the State of California, are held and firmly
bound unto the City in the annual sum of Four Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars, ($450,000), said
sum being not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the total amount of the Contract, for which
amount well and truly to be made, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors and administrators,
successors and assigns, jointly and severally, firmly by these presents.
THE CONDITION OF THIS OBLIGATION IS SUCH, that, if the Contractor, his or its heirs,
executors, administrators, successors or assigns, shall in all things stand to and abide by, and
well and truly keep and perform the covenants, conditions and agreements in the Contract
Documents and any alteration thereof made as therein provided, on its part, to be kept and
performed at the time and in the manner therein specified, and in all respects according to their
intent and meaning; and shall faithfully fulfill all obligations including the one-year guarantee of all
materials and workmanship; and shall indemnify and save harmless the City, its elected or
appointed officers, and their respective agents, officials, employees, volunteers and
representatives, as stipulated in said Contract Documents, then this obligation shall become null
and void; otherwise it shall be and remain in full force and effect.
As a condition precedent to the satisfactory completion of the Contract Documents, unless
otherwise provided for in the Contract Documents, the above obligation shall hold good for a
period of one (1) year after the acceptance of the work by City, during which time if Contractor
shall fail to make full, complete, and satisfactory repair and replacements and totally protect the
City from loss or damage resulting from or caused by defective materials or faulty workmanship,
Surety shall undertake and faithfully fulfill all such obligations. The obligations of Surety hereunder
shall continue so long as any obligation of Contractor remains. Nothing herein shall limit the City’s
rights or the Contractor or Surety’s obligations under the Contract, law, or equity, including, but
not limited to, California Code of Civil Procedure section 337.15.
Whenever Contractor shall be, and is declared by the City to be, in default under the

shall promptly, at the City’s option:
(1) Take over and complete the Project in accordance with all terms and conditions in the
Contract Documents; or
(2) Obtain a bid or bids for completing the Project in accordance with all terms and
conditions in the Contract Documents and upon determination by Surety of the

bidder, the Surety and the City, and make available as work progresses sufficient
funds to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract
price, including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term
“balance of the contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total
amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification
thereto, less any amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any
other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.
(3) Permit the City to complete the Project in any manner consistent with local, California
and federal law and make available as work progresses sufficient funds to pay the
cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract price, including
other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term “balance of the
contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total amount payable to
Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification thereto, less any
amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any other set offs
pursuant to the Contract Documents.
Surety expressly agrees that the City may reject any contractor or subcontractor which
may be proposed by Surety in fulfillment of its obligations in the event of default by the Contractor.
Surety shall not utilize Contractor in completing the Project nor shall Surety accept a bid
from Contractor for completion of the Project if the City, when declaring the Contractor in default,
notifies Surety of the City’s objection to Contractor’s further participation in the completion of the
Project.
The Surety, for value received, hereby stipulates and agrees that no change, extension of
time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Documents or to the Project to be
performed thereunder shall in any way affect its obligations on this bond, and it does hereby waive
notice of any such change, extension of time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract
Documents or to the Project, including but not limited to the provisions of sections 2819 and 2845
of the California Civil Code.

CITY OF PALM DESERT
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 28, 2024
PREPARED BY: Randy Chavez, Deputy Director of Public Works
REQUEST: APPROVE AN EMERGENCY GRANT PROGRAM IN AN AGGREGATE
AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $1,500,000 FOR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY
OWNERS AND HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATIONS LOCATED ALONG
INTERSTATE 10 AND AFFECTED BY TROPICAL STORM HILARY
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve emergency grant program in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,500,000 for
commercial property owners and homeowners associations located along Interstate 10 and
impacted by Tropical Storm Hilary.
2. Authorize the Finance Director to appropriate funds in the amount of $1,500,000 from
General Fund Emergency Reserves to Account No. 1104159-4219100.
3. Authorize the City Attorney to prepare all necessary documents and make any non-monetary
changes to the agreement.
4. Authorize City Manager to execute agreements and any documents necessary to effectuate
actions taken herewith.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On August 20, 2023, Tropical Storm Hilary brought unprecedented rain to Palm Desert. Flood
waters and debris from the Morongo Valley basin overwhelmed the City’s storm drain system,
catch basins, culverts, and other infrastructure used to convey flood water. Many of the storm
channels were silted with over five feet of sediment and debris. The damage caused by the
storm highlights the need for the City to prioritize infrastructure maintenance and preparedness
to ensure public safety during severe weather events.
In response to the aftermath of Tropical Storm Hilary, which inflicted significant damage to
commercial property owners and homeowners associations (eligible properties) in north Palm
Desert along the Interstate 10 corrido r, staff is proposing an implementation of $1,500,000 in
emergency grants. Each grant, with a maximum allocation of $200,000 each, aim s to cover up
to 35% of the costs for eligible properties' external cleanup, repair, and restoration efforts. For
instance, if a property owner incurs about $572,000 in such expenses, they would be eligible for
a reimbursement of up to $200,000, representing the maximum allocation per grant.
The boundary extends 250 feet south of Interstate 10, between Miriam Way and Washington
Street, effective the northern limits of Palm Desert The focus on the northern portion of Palm
Desert for the Program is driven by the significant damage caused by Tropical Storm Hilary
along the Interstate 10 corridor, necessitating urgent assistance for affected commercial property
owners and homeowners associations. The proposed grant program (Program) underscores the
City’s responsibility to promote the general welfare and address the collective needs and
interests of its residents.
Page 333 of 382
City of Palm Desert
(Tropical Storm Hilary Grant Program)
Page 2 of 2
The primary objective of these grants is threefold: to support property cleanup efforts, address
damage incurred as a result of Tropical Storm Hilary, and ensure the proper functioning of the
City’s integrated drainage systems within the affected area. To qualify, eligible properties must
submit a formal cleanup plan outlining the scope of work to be undertaken prior to commencing
work. That formal cleanup plan will be reviewed by City staff and then inspected at the end of
the project to ensure that the agreed upon scope was satisfactorily performed prior to grant
proceed disbursements. Note that use of grant funding by eligible properties is subject to State
prevailing wage requirements.
The Program focuses on assisting commercial property owners and homeowners associations
because their properties play a significant role in serving broader public interests and needs.
Individual homeowners and renters, as well as tenants on commercial properties are ineligible
for the Program. Likewise, homeowners associations that have previously received funding are
ineligible. Completed work is also excluded from eligibility.
Furthermore, the disbursement of grant funds on a reimbursement basis will be subject to strict
monitoring and auditing procedures. Grant funds may be reimbursed in stages as work
progresses (completion points), including at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. This approach ensures
that funding reflects the extent of completed work.
It is important to note the Program will remain in effect until funds are exhausted, with the
possibility of reinstatement contingent upon continued funding approval by the City Council. This
comprehensive approach aims to expedite the recovery process for affected properties and
mitigate the long-term impact of Tropical Storm Hilary along Interstate 10.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The recommendation carries a fiscal impact of $1,500,000 from General Fund Emergency
Reserves. The ultimate financial impact will depend on commercial property owners and
homeowners associations’ requests for assistance and the advancement of the proposed
cleanup and repair projects. In addition, the implementation of this recommendation may incur
ancillary administrative costs related to monitoring, auditing, and oversight of grant
disbursements, which will be managed within existing depa rtmental budgets. Where eligible,
staff will attempt to procure Federal and/or State grant funds for all storm-related costs.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 28, 2024
PREPARED BY: Amy Lawrence, Deputy Director of Economic Development
REQUEST: APPROVE REPLACEMENT OF A BRONZE PLAQUE AT THE DESERT
HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve replacement of a bronze plaque at the Desert Holocaust Memorial.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The Desert Holocaust Memorial by Dee Clements was paid for and donated to the City of Palm
Desert by the Holocaust Survivors of the Desert in 1995. The memorial, located at the Civic
Center Park, took years to plan and construct and was a thoughtful and collaborative process
between the donor, the artist, and the City. It sees thousands of visitors each year, including
students for educational tours and those gathering annually on Holocaust Remembrance Day.
It was recently brought to the City’s attention that the wording used on one of the signs installed
at the memorial contains a derogatory term commonly associated with those of Roma/Romani
descent. Specifically, the sign describing each figure in the center of the memorial, under “The
Dying Man” it references “gypsies” which carries negative connotations.
Staff contacted CEO Alan Potash with Jewish Federation of the Desert to explore changing the
language who offered to reach out to multiple people in the field of Holocaust education to get
their opinion on updating the wording. Below is what was recommended.
Current language: “Alone, silent, dying, his death represents the reality of bigotry, ignorance,
and hatred that has taken him to its inevitable end. He represents the 11,000,000 million people
who died in the Holocaust, Jews, Christians, Gypsies, Mentally Ill, Physically Handicapped,
Homosexual and many others, that were killed in the name of Nazism and the sickness it stood
for.”
Proposed language: “Alone, silent, dying, his death represents the reality of bigotry, ignorance,
and hatred that has taken him to its inevitable end. He represents the six million Jews and
millions of others, including political opponents, homosexuals, disabled, Roma, and others who
met their demise due to Nazi persecution and mass murder.”
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s office.

REQUEST: APPROVE PLACEMENT OF PEACE POLE AT THE COMMUNITY ROSE
GARDEN IN CIVIC CENTER PARK
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Placement of Peace Pole at the Community Rose Garden in Civic Center Park.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
Mr. Tom Swann-Hernandez, Post Commander of Frank Moulton American Veterans (AMVETS)
Post 66 of Palm Springs, has requested to place a “Peace Pole” at the Community Rose Garden
at the Civic Center Park. The eight-foot-tall Peace Pole is made of upcycled white vinyl PVC and
will have four panels with black lettering that reads: “May Peace Prevail on Earth” in four
languages – English, Spanish, Hebrew, and Arabic, as well as a brass braille plate. AMVETS
will provide the Peace Pole with a brass dedication plate that reads “PEACE POLE –
DEDICATED ON (date) BY AMVETS POST 66”.
Maintenance should be minimal and only include cleaning the PVC pole, which will be installed
by the City in one of the planters onsite. AMVETS understands that the Peace Pole may
deteriorate over time and it will either need to be replaced at their cost or removed to mai ntain
the integrity of the Community Rose Garden and the park.
The Peace Pole Project was started in Japan by Masahisa Goi (1916 -1980) who dedicated his
life to spreading the message, May Peace Prevail on Earth, after the destruction caused by
World War Il. The Peace Pole Project is a signature project of May Peace Prevail on Earth
International inviting peace makers throughout the world to plant Peace Poles in their
communities. It is estimated that there are over 200,000 Peace Poles in the world on ever y
continent which have been planted over many decades.

TO PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
March 28, 2024 Council Meeting
Dear City Council:
Frank Moulton American Veterans (AMVETS) Post 66 of Palm Springs is a not-for-profit veteran
service organization chartered by Congress. We have honored many local Holocaust Survivors at
our annual Memorial Day Awards Luncheons. We sponsor the annual Veterans Day ceremony in
Cathedral City. We present awards each year on September 21 which is International Day of Peace.
We wish to install and dedicate a Peace Pole at the city Memorial Rose Garden. We believe this will
be the first Peace Pole in Palm Desert. The Peace Pole will be a symbol of our desire for world
peace.
Peace Poles are the most widely known symbol of world peace and are located in over 180
countries around the world. The Peace Pole is vinyl and eight foot tall and says “May Peace Prevail
on Earth” in four languages. Those languages are English, Spanish, Hebrew and Arabic. There will
be a brass braille plate.
We have previously dedicated Peace Poles outside of the Cathedral City Library. Also, at Saul
Martinez Elementary School in Meca, Desert Mirage High School in Thermal, Desert Hot Springs
High School, Shea’s Veteran Center in Desert Hot Springs, Turtle Island Joshua Tree and
Congressional Cemetery in Washington D.C.
There will be a brass dedication plate on the Peace Pole. It will say the following:

CITY OF PALM DESERT
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 28, 2024
PREPARED BY: Anthony J. Mejia, City Clerk
REQUEST: RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING PROCEDURES FOR THE SELECTION
OF THE MAYOR AND MAYOR PRO TEM
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution entitled “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM
DESERT, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING PROCEDURES FOR THE SELECTION OF THE
MAYOR AND MAYOR PRO TEM.”
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On September 30, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-61 establishing a policy
for the selection of the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem. This resolution established a seniority-based
selection process with provisions addressing situations in which tw o or more members in the
same district are sworn into office on the same day as well as when two or more members are
sworn into office on the same day from different districts. These provisions no longer apply to a
five-district electoral system; therefore, it is necessary to establish new procedures.
On February 15, 2024, the City Council confirmed the appointment of Mayor Pro Tem Harnik
and Mayor Quintanilla to a City Council Ad Hoc Committee on the selection procedures for the
Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem.
On March 11, 2024, the Ad Hoc Committee met with City staff to discuss potential options for
the selection of the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem. The Committee reviewed methods for selecting
a Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem and has recommended adoption of the attached R esolution
establishing a district-based rotation process.
Procedure Highlights:
In December 2024, the Mayor Pro Tem shall succeed to the position of Mayor and the
longest serving Councilmember, without having previously served as Mayor, shall be
Mayor Pro Tem.
In December 2025, the Mayor Pro Tem shall succeed to the position of Mayor. To
commence a district-based rotation, the Councilmember representing District 3 shall be
appointed Mayor Pro Tem.
o District 3 was selected to commence the district-based rotation because Karina
Quintanilla, representing District 1, and Jan Harnik, residing in District 2, were the
immediately preceding Mayors and Districts 4 and 5 have not yet been elected.
In December 2026 and thereafter, the Mayor Pro Tem shall succeed to the position of
Mayor and the Councilmember representing the next sequential district shall be appointed
Mayor Pro Tem.
Page 361 of 382

Resolution – Selection of Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem
Page 2 of 3
A Councilmember shall not serve as Mayor during their first year on the City Council.
The City Council by four-fifths (4/5th) vote may remove the Mayor or Mayor Pro Tem.
Furthermore, this policy includes provisions addressing situations in which the current Mayor
Pro Tem is not re-elected, a Councilmember would be serving as Mayor during their first year,
resignation or inability to serve as Mayor or Mayor Pro Tem, partial terms, and declining to serve.
If these procedures result in no Councilmember being eligible to fill either position, then the City
Council may vote anyone of its members to serve in an open nomination process.

Alternative Models:
Seniority Based Rotation: Alternatively, the City Council could choose to select the Mayor and
Mayor Pro Tem based on a seniority rotation and below listed are the procedural highlights:
A Councilmember must have one or two years of service on the City Council before being
eligible for service as Mayor and/or Mayor Pro Tem.
The Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem shall be the most senior Councilmembers, who have not
yet served or have not served in the role for the longest period.
If two or more Councilmembers have the same number of years on City Council, a tie
shall be determined by the number of votes received at the last election or coin toss.

Open Nominations: Multiple cities select a Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem utilizing a traditional
nomination and voting procedure. Usually, these cities utilize an informal seniority -based
system, such as the next senior member that has not yet served as Mayor Pro Tem and Mayor
or have not served in the role for the longest period.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s office.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the action.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Date: March 28, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Anthony J. Mejia, City Clerk
Subject: City Council Meeting of March 28, 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 2b: STUDY SESSION: UPDATE ON ANIMAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH RIVERSIDE
COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES
Q1: Page 25. Is this for Palm Desert only?
A1: Yes, these are the total number of animals (dogs, cats, birds, others) sheltered annually for the
City of Palm Desert.
Q2: Page 25. How is this calculated? Are these numbers only relative to the Thousand Palms
location?
A2: These numbers reflect the total number of dogs and cats, the overall number of days in the shelter,
and the average.
For example, from July – February of this fiscal year, there were a total of 145 dogs & cats
sheltered for 670 days, with an average of 5 sheltered days per animal. Our contract stipulates
that animals shall be housed at the Coachella Valley Animal Campus in Thousand Palms. The
County does have the discretion to take animals to other county f acilities at their discretion e.g.
no capacity at the time etc.
Q3: Does the City pay per animal that is taken in, or does the City pay for euthanasia fees?
A3: The City pays a daily sheltering rate of $34.10 per day plus a $10.44 charge per impound for each
dog or cat. There are no additional costs for euthanasia fees, or spaying/neutering a stray before
they are adopted.
Q4: Page 31. Has there been any interest from the community in having these again (mobile
clinic)? How were they advertised?
A4: Staff is not aware of any interest from the community in hosting mobile clinics. In 2013, when the
last mobile clinic was held it was advertised at the Shelter, in Brightside, and flyers at City Hall.

ITEM 13e: AUTHORIZE AN AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT NO. A43790 WITH FG CREATIVE
INCREASING COMPENSATION FOR PALM DESERT AQUATIC CENTER MARKETING
SERVICES
Q1: What is the breakdown of their justification to increase account services by nearly $2000?
A1: With the renegotiation of the operational contract with the YMCA, greater emphasis has been
placed on marketing the Aquatic Center. The enhanced scope of work required more hours over
the second quarter of the year, which correlates to a higher fee for account services.
Q2: How many billboards is the City getting for $10,500? What is the ROI on billboards?
A2: Billboards are useful for brand-building and reaching new audiences with information about the
Aquatic Center. They are part of the previously approved PDAC budget, and placement has been
spread out over the fiscal year as part of Lamar's digital billboard program. This program provides
tremendous flexibility in messaging and placement, when compared to a traditional static billboard
that would have one location and one message for the duration of the contract.
Q3: Where will they be placed?
A3: These digital billboards are placed in 10 locations around the valley, and the PDAC slot rotates
from board to board, allowing the messaging to be seen in multiple locations.
Q4: What website enhancements are they planning to implement for a $3,000 increase?
A4: This fee is for a complete website redesign, including new photography, an updated, more user-
friendly design, new programming, and reservation portals.
ITEM 13f: AUTHORIZE AN AMENDMENT TO INCREASE THE CITY'S CONTRACT WITH FG
CREATIVE FOR EL PASEO PARKING & BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT
MARKETING SERVICES
Q1: What services are listed in the original contract with FG Creative, C43370?
A1: Below is the scope of services outlined in Contract C43370:
• Develop an annual budget that includes a comprehensive, strategic and diversified media plan
and account management that promotes El Paseo to its target audience, in accordance with
direction provided by the Board. This media plan should demonstrate maximum efficiency of
spend and a clear ability to measure return on investment (ROI).
Negotiate, schedule, and maintain media buys in accordance with the approved media plan.
Please note that all buys performed on behalf of the EPPBID must be billed at net amounts.
Provide media administrative services including, but not limited to, record keeping; flowcharts;
budget recaps; billing; processing payment; maintaining media buy schedules; buy
confirmations; tracking make goods and credits; trafficking of creative materials.
Develop and implement a monthly merchant outreach program.
Attend and present pertinent updates at the monthly EPPBID Board meetings.
Evaluate all media proposals submitted to the Board and issue recommendations based on cost,
validity, and perceived benefits to the marketing/advertising objectives of the Board.
Provide monthly and quarterly reports summarizing project activities and achievements of all
services outlined in this scope of work.
Submit detailed invoices to include the projects and services worked on or completed with
supporting documentation for the previous month's activities.
Develop an annual branding campaign and create all graphic assets as needed to fulfill the
media plan and all outbound marketing. To include but not limited to: digital, print, radio and
collateral material, and other elements, as mandated by the media plan.
Page 370 of 382
03/28/2024 Question & Answer Memo
Page 3 of 4
Create a strategic Social Media Plan and manage all aspects of the EPPBID social media
channels, including but not limited to Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
• Organize and manage two Merchant meetings per year if viable (Pre-Season and Post-Season).
• Manage Public Relations efforts as needed on behalf of the EPPBID.
Agency shall represent EPPBID's voice and vision when working with media partners, in the
best interest of the “El Paseo" brand.
Q2: How often has EPPBID had to tap into their reserves in the last 6 years?
A2: Fortunately, staff is not aware of any time the EPPBID has had to tap into its reserves to cover a
budget shortfall. Because EPPBID funds fluctuate depending on revenues collected from
members of the district, the board's first pass at its annual budget is always conservative, based
on an average of the previous six years' revenue. As the actual revenues accrue, the board then
revisits marketing priorities based on actual funds available in excess of its reserves and makes
a mid-year budget adjustment. This careful approach allows the board to maintain good
stewardship over its constantly fluctuating and unpredictable resources.
Q3: How much was taken from the reserve in 2020?
A3: When the pandemic hit in early 2020, the EPPBID Board drastically cut its budget to conserve
funds in light of a projected drastic drop in revenue. As it turned out, sales of luxury goods were
especially strong during the pandemic, so the district finished the year with more funds than
anticipated, and the board did not have to tap into its reserves.
Q4: What are the merchant relations that need to be enhanced?
A4: The Board has prioritized merchant relations over the past several years to achieve its goals of
supporting small store owners while ensuring that it is representing its members well. The results
were positive in terms of having an engaged and active membership. For FY 2023-2024, the board
reluctantly reduced the budget spent on merchant relations in order to address other marketing
priorities. When deciding on how to apply a mid-year budget adjustment this year, the board voted
to bring that line item back up to what it has been in past fiscal years.
Q5: Will merchant relations be uniform from Highway 74 to Portola?
A5: Yes, the monthly report highlights that an equal amount of time is spent on each block of the
district.
Q6: What enhancements are going to be made?
A6: The budget increase allows for more one-on-one marketing meetings, more store visits, and
greater support during the summer months.
ITEM 13k: APPROPRIATE FUNDS FOR NEW LIBRARY FACILITY PROJECT AND AWARD
ARCHITECT CONTRACT TO RICHÄRD KENNEDY ARCHITECTS FOR CONCEPTUAL
DESIGN SERVICES (PROJECT NO. CFA00027)
Q1: Won't it make more sense to request this work after a decision is made about the new
library site? Might the available footprint be a significant variable in the design work?
A1: The Architect’s scope of work for Conceptual Design Services will be required regardless of site
location. The anticipated building program is approximately 20,000 to 25,000 SF. All sites currently
being considered will support the required footprint. Funds for other preconstruction services and
architect contingency identified in the Staff Report will be utilized to analyze the other sites.

ITEM 14d: RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING PROCEDURES FOR THE SELECTION OF THE MAYOR
AND MAYOR PRO TEM
Q1: If there is a desire to maintain a seniority-based rotation for the position of Mayor and
Mayor Pro Tem, may ties be broken by mutual agreement? Are there any rules which can
be imposed that if a member declines service it does not result in a disruption to the normal
rotation?
A1: Yes, if the City Council prefers a seniority-based rotation it is permissible to allow ties to be broken
by mutual agreement. Under this rule, if two or more members are tied, they may come to a mutual
agreement on the sequence of who will serve as Mayor Pro Tem. If mutual agreement is not
reached, it is recommended that ties be broken by lot (such as a coin toss, drawing straws, or
high card from a standard deck).
Under the current resolution, if a member declines service as Mayor Pro Tem ther e is no
mechanism to reset the member’s seniority since last serving as Mayor, if ever. This results in the
member who declined maintaining their seniority and having preference to serve as Mayor Pro
Tem in future years. A rule may be imposed that if a member declines to serve, then that member’s
future placement in the rotation will be as if they served in the year for which service is waived.
Furthermore, it is recommended that the priority be based on “the longest continuous service since
last serving as Mayor or Mayor Pro Tem, if ever.” This will ensure that a member who served as
Mayor Pro Tem but declines service as Mayor will have their seniority reset.
