CITY OF PALM DESERT f _O
TO: EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
FROM: DAVID YRIGOYEN, SENIOR ADMINISTRATION ASSISTANT
SUBJECT: INFORMATION ITEM - ROTARY CLUB HOUSE
DATE: APRIL 13, 1995
Staff have been working for quite sometime with the Palm Desert Rotary Club in
their efforts to construct a single family home on Carmel Circle. After
several discussions and meetings, it was determined by the Palm Desert Rotary
Club that it would not be feasible for them to carry out the project. The had
concerns regarding difficulties with financing, placement of families,
liabilities and ultimate revenues.
As an alternative for the site, staff discussed the feasibility of putting
together a project utilizing the Youth Build Program in association with
Habitat For Humanity. Habitat has indicated that they are very interested in
proceeding with the program while providing opportunities for youth
development. While staff have not had any experience with the Youth Build
Program we have had a successful experience with Habitat for Humanity and
therefore, would recommend their involvement.
We will be meeting in the next few months to finalize details of the program
and will return to the Agency Board with recommendations for the property.
