STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 26, 2026
PREPARED BY: Anthony J. Mejia, City Clerk
SUBJECT: RATIFICATION OF LETTER SUPPORTING ASSEMBLY BILL 1632
(JOHNSON) - TRESPASS
RECOMMENDATION:
Ratify the issuance of the letter supporting Assembly Bill 1632 (Johnson) relating to trespass
enforcement procedures.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On March 3, 2026, the City submitted a letter in support of Assembly Bill 1632 (Johnson), which
proposes changes to existing law governing trespass enforcement under Penal Code Section
602.
Under current law, property owners may submit a Trespass Letter of Authority authorizing law
enforcement officers to enforce trespassing statutes when the owner or responsible party is not
present. These letters must be notarized and expire after 12 months, requiring property owners
to periodically renew the authorization.
AB 1632 would streamline this process by removing the notarization requirement and extending
the validity period of a Trespass Letter of Authority from 12 months to three years for qualifying
properties.
In Palm Desert, these authorizations are frequently used for vacant residential propertie s,
unoccupied commercial tenant spaces, properties undergoing renovation, and parcels located
within high fire hazard severity zones. These properties often require proactive law enforcement
intervention to address trespassing, nuisance activity, or fire safety concerns.
The current notarization and annual renewal requirements create recurring administrative
burdens for property owners and property managers, particularly those located outside the
region. To assist property owners, the City has historicall y provided notary services for these
forms, which places additional administrative responsibilities on City staff.
By eliminating the notarization requirement and extending the authorization period to three
years, AB 1632 would reduce administrative proce ssing, improve enforcement continuity, and
allow law enforcement agencies to address trespassing incidents more efficiently.
In accordance with Resolution No. 2025-020, Mayor Trubee and Mayor Pro Tem Pradetto
reviewed and approved the letter prior to formal ratification by the City Council.

Chair, Assembly Public Safety Committee

Sacramento, CA 95814
RE: AB 1632 (Johnson) Trespass — SUPPORT
Dear Assemblymember Schultz:
The City of Palm Desert is pleased to support AB 1632 (Johnson), which would remove
the notarization requirement for a Trespass Letter of Authority and extend the validity
period from 12 months to three years for qualifying properties.
Under existing law, property owners may submit a Trespass Letter of Authority pursuant
to Penal Code Section 602 authorizing law enforcement to enforce trespassing statutes
when the owner or responsible party is not present. These letters must be notarized and
expire after 12 months, requiring repeated renewals.
In Palm Desert, vacant residential properties, unoccupied commercial tenant spaces,
properties undergoing renovation, and parcels located within high fire hazard severity
zones frequently require these authorizations to ensure timely enforcement. The annual
notarization and renewal requirement creates recurring administrative burdens for
property owners and property managers, particularly those located outside the region. To
reduce costs and inconvenience to property owners, the City has provided notary ser vices
for these forms, which places additional administrative responsibility on City staff.
Removing the notarization requirement and extending the authorization period to three
years will improve enforcement continuity, reduce administrative processing, and allow law
enforcement officers to address trespassing and related nuisance activity more efficiently.
For these reasons, the City of Palm Desert respectfully supports AB 1632 (Johnson).
Sincerely,
Evan Trubee
Mayor, City of Palm Desert

ASSEMBLY BILL No. 1632
Introduced by Assembly Member Johnson
January 26, 2026
An act to amend Section 602 of the Penal Code, relating to trespass.
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 1632, as introduced, Johnson. Trespass.
Existing law makes it a misdemeanor to commit the crime of trespass,
which includes refusing or failing to leave land, real property, or
structures belonging to, or lawfully occupied by, another and not open
to the general public upon being requested to leave by a peace officer
at the request of the owner, the owner’s agent, or the person in lawful
possession and upon being informed by the peace officer that they are
acting at the request of the owner, the owner’s agent, or the person in
lawful possession. Existing law requires the owner, the owner’s agent,
or the person in lawful possession to make a separate request to the
peace officer on each occasion when the peace officer’s assistance in
dealing with a trespass is requested, except that a single request for
peace officer assistance may be made for a period not to exceed 12
months when there is a fire hazard to the premises or property, the
owner is absent from the premises or property, or the premises or
property is closed to the public and posted as being closed. Existing
law requires the requester to inform the law enforcement agency to
which the request was made when the assistance is no longer desired
before the 12-month period expires. Existing law also authorizes a single
request for assistance to be made and submitted electronically, in a
notarized form provided by the law enforcement agency, to a peace
99
71
officer, and authorizes local governments to accept electronic
submissions of requests for peace officer assistance.
This bill would remove the requirement that the submitted form
described above be notarized. The bill would extend the maximum
period of time for a request for peace officer assistance from 12 months
to 3 years for requests pertaining to a fire hazard, the owner’s absence,

CITY OF PALM DESERT
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 26, 2026
PREPARED BY: Anthony J. Mejia, City Clerk
SUBJECT: RATIFICATION OF LETTERS REGARDING KRATOM REGULATION
AND ASSEMBLY BILL 1088 (BAINS)
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Ratify the issuance of a letter to the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG)
Public Safety Committee, encouraging evaluation of a coordinated regional approach to
synthetic kratom regulation and youth protections
2. Ratify the issuance of a letter supporting Assembly Bill 1088 (Bains) relating to statewide
public health standards for kratom products.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On March 3, 2026, the City transmitted two letters addressing emerging public health and safety
concerns related to kratom products.
The first letter was sent to the CVAG Public Safety Committee, encouraging consideration of a
coordinated regional approach to the regulation of synthetic and high-potency kratom products
across Coachella Valley jurisdictions. The letter noted that inconsistent regulations between
neighboring cities may create enforcement challenges, retail displacement, and confusion for
businesses and consumers. It also encouraged evaluation of potential regional standards
including prohibitions on synthetic or highly concentrated kratom derivatives, age restrictions of
21 years or older for retail sales, and child-resistant packaging requirements.
The second letter expressed the City’s support for Assembly Bill 1088 (Bains), which establishes
statewide consumer protection standards for kratom products and products containing 7 -
hydroxymitragynine (7-OH). The bill would prohibit sales to individuals under 21 years of age,
require child-resistant packaging, prohibit marketing that appeals to children, and limit 7 -OH
potency within kratom products.
The City’s support of AB 1088 and its outreach to CVAG align with recent local policy actions.
On February 26, 2026, the City Council introduced an ordinance amending Chapters 8.34 and
8.36 of the Palm Desert Municipal Code to modernize the City’s Tobacco Retailer Licensing and
Smoking regulations and address the regulation of kratom products. These amendments include
provisions prohibiting high-risk synthetic kratom products and establishing enforcement
standards aligned with existing tobacco retailer licensing regulations.
In its letter supporting AB 1088, the City also recommended consideration of amendments that
would prohibit synthetic and highly concentrated 7 -OH products outright, reflecting concerns
raised during the City’s public hearing regarding the distinction between natural kratom leaf
products and high-potency extracts.

Palm Desert, CA 92260
RE: Regional Approach to Synthetic Kratom Regulation and Youth Protections
Dear Chair Mirelez and Committee Members:
On behalf of the City of Palm Desert, I write to respectfully encourage the CVAG Public
Safety Committee to consider a coordinated regional approach to the regulation of
synthetic and high-potency kratom products.
In February 2026, the Palm Desert City Council considered amendments to its Tobacco
Retailer Licensing and Smoking Ordinance to address emerging public health concerns
related to kratom products. The City’s framework prioritizes prohibiting synthetic and
highly concentrated kratom derivatives, restricting sales to individuals 21 years of age
and older, and requiring child-resistant packaging and clear retail safeguards.
Public testimony received during our hearing reflected a consistent distinction between
natural kratom leaf products and synthetic or concentrated derivatives. Residents urged
the City to preserve adult access to natural leaf products while eliminating hig h-potency
extracts. The City also received testimony from a Riverside County Sheriff’s Sergeant and
certified Drug Recognition Expert who described a local impaired -driving case involving
high-dose kratom and noted increasing prevalence in toxicology testing.
Kratom products are sold throughout the Coachella Valley in similar retail environments,
including smoke shops and convenience stores. Absent regional consistency, regulatory
differences between neighboring cities may create enforcement challenges, retail
displacement, and confusion for both businesses and consumers. A coordinated regional
framework would enhance public safety, support youth protections, and align
enforcement efforts across jurisdictions.
83
We respectfully request that the CVAG Public Safety Committee consider evaluating
regional policy options, including:
• Prohibition of synthetic and highly concentrated 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH)
products
• Minimum age requirement of 21 for retail sales
• Child-resistant packaging standards
• Retailer accountability measures consistent with existing tobacco licensing
frameworks
Palm Desert stands ready to collaborate with CVAG member agencies, Riverside County,
and regional law enforcement partners to promote consistent and legally defensible
standards that protect public health while providing clarity for retailers.
Thank you for your consideration of this important regional public safety matter.
Sincerely,
Evan Trubee
Mayor, City of Palm Desert

RE: AB 1088 (Bains) Public Health: Kratom — SUPPORT
Dear Assembly Member Bains:
The City of Palm Desert is pleased to support AB 1088 (Bains), which establishes
important statewide public health standards for kratom and products containing 7 -
hydroxymitragynine (7-OH). The bill’s age restriction of 21 and over, child -resistant
packaging requirements, prohibition on products attractive to children, and limits on 7 -OH
potency represent meaningful and responsible consumer protection measures.
Kratom and 7-OH products are currently sold in a variety of retail environments across
California without consistent statewide safeguards. AB 1088 provides a uniform
regulatory framework that will enhance youth protections, improve enforcement clarity,
and establish baseline standards for packaging and potency. Palm Desert supports the
establishment of these statewide guardrails as a strong step in the right direction .
During a recent public hearing regarding local kratom regulation, the Palm Desert City
Council received testimony from residents who rely on natural kratom leaf products for
pain management and chronic health conditions. Several speakers expressed support for
age restrictions, labeling standards, and enforcement safeguards, while also urging the
prohibition of synthetic and highly concentrated derivatives. The consistent theme from
public testimony was a clear distinction between raw botanical leaf and manu factured,
high-potency extracts.
The City also received testimony from a Riverside County Sheriff’s Sergeant and certified
Drug Recognition Expert who described a local impaired-driving case involving high-dose
kratom. The case required expanded toxicology testing beyond standard drug panels and
resulted in a conviction. The Sergeant further indicated that toxicology laboratories are
seeing increasing kratom prevalence in submissions and that potency and predictability
vary significantly among products. This testimony underscores the public safety
implications associated with highly concentrated or synthetic forms.
85
Palm Desert has prioritized eliminating synthetic and high -risk concentrated kratom
products while allowing limited access to natural leaf products for adults age 21 and over
under strict retail controls. In that context, the City respectfully recommends consideration
of amendments to strengthen AB 1088 by prohibiting synthetic and highly concentrated
7-OH products outright. A clear statutory distinction between natural kratom leaf and
synthetic or concentrated derivatives would further enhance consumer pro tection and
align with emerging regional enforcement trends.
We appreciate your leadership in advancing this important public health measure and
your commitment to protecting California communities. The City of Palm Desert
respectfully supports AB 1088 and looks forward to continued collaboration as the bill
moves forward.
Sincerely,
Evan Trubee

ASSEMBLY BILL No. 1088
Introduced by Assembly Member Bains
February 20, 2025
An act to add Article 16 (commencing with Section 111224.8) to
Chapter 5 of Part 5 of Division 104 of the Health and Safety Code,
relating to public health.
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 1088, as amended, Bains. Public health: kratom.
Existing law, the Sherman Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Law, provides
for the regulation of various subjects relating to the manufacturing,
processing, labeling, advertising, and sale of food, drugs, and cosmetics,
under the administration and enforcement of the State Department of
Public Health (department) and in accordance with the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The act generally requires manufacturers,
packers, and holders of processed foods to register with the department.
A violation of the act is a crime.
This bill would add kratom products and products containing
7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH products), as defined, to the Sherman
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Law. The bill would prescribe specified
quantities of alkaloids present in kratom products and 7-OH products
and would establish labeling and packaging requirements for those
products. The bill would prohibit the sale of kratom products and 7-OH
products to those under 21 years of age. The bill would require the
packaging of kratom products and 7-OH products to be child resistant
97
87
and would prohibit the sale and manufacture of a kratom product or
7-OH product that is attractive to children. By expanding the scope of
a crime, the bill would create a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act
for a specified reason.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.

As Amended April 21, 2025
Majority vote
SUMMARY
Adds kratom products and products containing 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH products), as
defined, to the Sherman Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Law (Sherman Law). Prescribes specified
quantities of alkaloids present in kratom products and 7-OH products. Prohibits the sale of
kratom products and 7-OH products to those under 21 years of age. Requires the packaging of
kratom products and 7-OH products to be child resistant and prohibits the sale and manufacture
of a kratom product or 7-OH product that is attractive to children.
COMMENTS
Background. Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a tree in the coffee family, found in Thailand and
neighboring countries. These leaves are crushed and then smoked, brewed with tea, or placed
into gel capsules. Kratom has a long history of use in Southeast Asia, where it is commonly
known as thang, kakuam, thom, ketum, and biak. Traditionally, in Southeast Asia, people have
chewed its leaves or made them into a tea that is used to fight fatigue and improve work
productivity. Kratom has also traditionally been used during religious ceremonies and to treat
symptoms such as pain and diarrhea, sometimes as a substitute for opium. In this bill, kratom
leaf refers to the leaf of a kratom plant. The alkaloid content refers to the sum of the various
alkaloids that are present in the leaf material that contribute the effect of the plant, including
mitragynine, paynantheine, speciogynine, speciociliatine, and 7-hydroxymitragynine.
Effects of kratom usage. Kratom leaves contain two major psychoactive ingredients, mitragynine
and 7-hydroxymitragynine, which interact with opioid receptors in the brain. People who use
kratom have reported both stimulant-like effects (increased energy, alertness, rapid heart rate)
and effects like those of opioids and sedatives (relaxation, pain relief, confusion). Per the United
States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), consumption of kratom tree leaves produces a
stimulant effect in low doses, and a sedative effect in high doses. Consumption of kratom in high
doses can also lead to psychotic symptoms, and psychological and physiological dependence.
According to the National Institutes of Health Center for Complementary and Integrative Health
(NCCIH), people may use kratom to try to overcome opioid addiction, kratom itself may have
the potential to be addictive. People have reported using kratom to manage opioid withdrawal
symptoms and cravings, and researchers are studying whether kratom is helpful for this purpose.
However, kratom has not been shown to be safe and effective for this or any other medical use.
Regular kratom users may experience withdrawal symptoms if they stop using it.
NCCIH notes that a variety of side effects of kratom have been reported. They include mild
effects, such as nausea, constipation, dizziness, and drowsiness, and rare but serious effects such
as seizures, high blood pressure, and liver problems. Fatal overdoses from kratom alone appear
to be extremely rare. The use of kratom in combination with other drugs has been linked to
deaths and severe adverse effects such as liver problems. More research is needed on drug
interactions involving kratom.
91
AB 1088
Page 2
NCCIH highlights that the long-term effects of kratom use are not well understood. Harmful
contaminants such as heavy metals and disease-causing bacteria have been found in some kratom
products.
According to the DEA, the abuse of kratom has increased markedly in recent years. Several
cases of psychosis resulting from use of kratom have been reported, where individuals addicted
to kratom exhibited psychotic symptoms, including hallucinations, delusion, and confusion.
Research on kratom use. According to a 2019 study titled, "Current perspectives on the impact
of Kratom use", the national poison center reporting database documented 1,807 calls related to
kratom exposure from 2011 to 2017. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention analyzed
data on unintentional and undetermined opioid overdose deaths from the State Unintentional
Drug Overdose Reporting System. Kratom was detected on postmortem toxicology testing in
152 cases of 27,338 overdose deaths from data collected from 11 states from July 2016 to June
2017 and 27 states from July 2017 to December 2017. Kratom was identified as the cause of
death by a medical examiner in 91 of the 152 kratom-positive deaths, but was the only identified
substance in just seven of these cases. Presence of additional substances in these seven kratom-
only cases cannot be ruled out. The co-occurring substances in the 91 cases where kratom was
identified as the cause of death include fentanyl (including analogs), heroin, benzodiazepines,
prescription opioids, cocaine, and alcohol. Multi-substance exposures involving kratom,
predominantly in combination with opioids, are associated with a greater odds ratio of
admittance to a health care facility and occurrence of a serious medical outcome when compared
to kratom-only exposure.
These data highlight that kratom use is associated with a complex population of poly-drug users
and especially with opioid use disorder. The data further suggests that a deeper investigation into
the toxicity of kratom is needed, especially focusing on drug–herb interactions.
Please see the Assembly Health Committee analysis for a more detailed discussion of kratom at a
national level and in other states.
Kratom in California. Some estimates show that nearly 25% of all kratom sales in the United
States are in California. In March 2024, the city of Newport Beach approved an ordinance to
prohibit the sale and distribution of kratom. The City of San Diego and Oceanside banned the
use and sale of kratom in 2016. It has been reported that some manufacturers have created
stronger and more potent kratom concentrates to put into their products. According to a 2023
study titled, "Kratom availability in California vape shops," kratom was available in two-thirds
of vape-and-smoke shops throughout California.
Attractiveness to children. The Kratom Consumer Advisory Council (KCAC) put out a position
statement in October 2024 highlighting their concerns regarding the marketing of kratom
products that may appeal to children intentionally or unintentionally. KCAC noted that some
products are sold in forms resembling popular candies, such as gummies, lollipops, chocolate
bars, and cookies. These products often feature bright colors, mascots, and flavors that could
attract young children or be mistaken for regular candy. KCAC noted that the ease of access to
these products and their resemblance to well-known candy items raise concerns about accidental
ingestion by younger children. This bill prohibits kratom products sold or distributed from being
attractive to children.

What is 7-OH? According to a 2019 study titled, "7-Hydroxymitragynine is an Active Metabolite
of Mitragynine and a Key Mediator of its Analgesic Effects," mitragynine is the major active
alkaloid found in kratom, and that it is converted to the much more potent mu-opioid receptor
agonist 7-OH in the liver. The study found that brain concentrations of 7-OH are sufficient to
explain most or all of the opioid-receptor-mediated analgesic activity of mitragynine. At the
same time, mitragynine was found in the brains of mice at very high concentrations relative to its
opioid receptor binding affinity, suggesting that it does not directly activate opioid receptors. The
results suggest a metabolism-dependent mechanism for the analgesic effects of mitragynine. This
bill prohibits the sale of a kratom product or 7-OH product with a level of 7-hydroxymitragynine
that is greater than 2% of the total kratom alkaloids in the product.
According to the Author
As a physician specializing in addiction treatment, I have grown increasingly concerned about
the use of Kratom and especially its derivative 7-OH. We have reached the point that state and
federal regulators can no longer ignore these products. Until the federal government does its job,
California must act to protect our residents and especially our children. AB 1088 is a reasonable
first step to age gate these products as we consider additional regulatory protections to put in
place.
Arguments in Support
The California Narcotic Officers' Association (CNOA) supports this bill and writes, synthesized
7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) products, referred to as "legal morphine," are developed from
kratom and have become 30 times more potent than morphine. CNOA continues that 7-OH
produces opioid-like effects and can cause fatal overdoses, making their abuse a serious public
health and safety concern. CNOA continues other adverse effects of 7-OH include psychotic
symptoms, and psychological and physiological dependence. CNOA notes that natural kratom
products generally contain no more than 66% of mitragynine as the main alkaloid and 2% of 7-
hydroxymitragynine in the alkaloid fraction of the extract. CNOA continues that a number of
states including Arizona, Oklahoma, Texas, and Utah have enacted bans on synthetic 7-OH
exceeding 2% of total alkaloid content in products. CNOA notes that in California, natural
kratom products remain unregulated and unrestricted. CNOA states that any one of any age can
purchase kratom and synthesized 7-OH products. CNOA states that this addresses safety
concerns about natural kratom and 7-OH products by implementing some common-sense
measures to protect the public and our youth by establishing a: minimum age of 21 to purchase;
requirement for child-resistant packaging; ban on marketing that appeals to children; limit on 7-
OH content not to exceed 2% of the product's total alkaloid content. CNOA concludes that AB
1088 will protect better consumers and our youth from dangerous products that have resulted in
addiction and death in our state and across the country.
Arguments in Opposition
The Holistic Alternative Recovery Trust (HART) opposes this bill on the grounds that a cap of
2% of the total alkaloids allowed in a kratom leaf is so de minimis as to be meaningless when
manufacturing a 7-OH product. HART directs readers to their April 1, 2025 letter where they
expanded on their concerns. Highlights from the previous letter: HART's belief that exploring
the potential applications of 7-OH could contribute to discussions on addressing opioid misuse
and strategies; evolving research on 7-OH; and concerns that the percentage cap is a fatally-
flawed measure noting that bad actor manufacturers who wish to create a high mg 7-OH product
can easily adhere to the percentage cap and add the corresponding amount of mitragynine,
thereby releasing a dangerous but compliant product. HART concludes by stating that it hopes
93
AB 1088

that a realistic approach to regulating 7-OH that is focused on the potential benefits to California
consumers.
FISCAL COMMENTS
According to the Assembly Committee on Appropriations, the California Department of Public
Health (DPH) estimates annual General Fund costs of $2.63 million beginning in fiscal year
(FY) 2026-27 for 13 full time staff positions to conduct inspections, ensure compliance, conduct
investigations, test kratom products, and compile and provide educational materials to industry.
DPH anticipates additional General Fund costs of $829,000 in FY 2026-27 for initial peace
officer training and laboratory supplies for testing.

RE: Support for Highway 111 Safety Improvement Project – FY27 Congressionally
Directed Spending/Community Project Funding
Dear Senator Padilla, Senator Schiff, and Congressman Calvert,
On behalf of the City of Palm Desert, I write in strong support of the City of Indian Wells’
Fiscal Year 2027 Congressionally Directed Spending / Community Project Funding
request for the rehabilitation and expansion of its Emergency Operations Center.
Disaster response in the Coachella Valley is inherently a regional effort. The City of Palm
Desert relies on the strength and readiness of our neighboring jurisdictions to ensure the
safety and resilience of our collective communities. The current Indian W ells Emergency
Operations Center is undersized and faces technological limitations that restrict its ability
to fully support regional disaster coordination.
Expanding and modernizing this facility will improve Indian Wells’ capacity to support
emergency response operations and coordinate with neighboring jurisdictions during
critical incidents. These upgrades will strengthen regional preparedness and enhance the
ability of local agencies to respond to emergencies affecting the broader Coachella Valley.
For these reasons, the City of Palm Desert respectfully urges your support of the City of
Indian Wells’ Community Project Funding request for the Emergency Operations Center
project.
Sincerely,
Evan Trubee

Dear Senator Padilla, Senator Schiff, and Congressman Calvert:
On behalf of the City of Palm Desert, I write in strong support of the City of Indian Wells’
Fiscal Year 2027 Congressionally Directed Spending / Community Project Funding
request for the Highway 111 Safety Improvement Project.
Highway 111 serves as a vital economic and transportation corridor for residents,
workers, and businesses throughout the Coachella Valley. Increasing traffic volumes
along key segments of the corridor have contributed to documented safety concerns and
operational challenges affecting multiple jurisdictions in the region.
The proposed project focuses on targeted improvements to high -priority segments of
Highway 111. Planned upgrades include advanced signal technology, pedestrian safety
enhancements, and roadway reconfigurations designed to better manage traffic flow and
improve access to surrounding commercial areas. These improvements will help reduce
collisions, enhance pedestrian safety, and improve overall corridor efficiency.
Modernizing this corridor is essential to protecting public safety and ensuring that
transportation infrastructure across the Coachella Valley can support continued economic
activity and regional growth.
For these reasons, the City of Palm Desert respectfully urges your support of the City of
Indian Wells’ Community Project Funding request for the Highway 111 Safety
Improvement Project.

RE: CVAG Community Project Funding Request – I-10 Emergency Bypass and
Safety Improvement Project
Dear Senators Padilla and Schiff:
On behalf of the City of Palm Desert, I am writing to express our strong support for the
Coachella Valley Association of Governments’ (CVAG) community project funding
request for the Interstate-10 (I-10) Emergency Bypass and Safety Improvement Project.
This project will address congestion, safety, and goods movement challenges along the
I-10 corridor by delivering critical intersection and operational improvements along
approximately 18 miles of Varner Road. As the only interstate serving the Coachella
Valley, I-10 is essential to regional mobility, economic activity, and emergency access.
When closures occur due to accidents, severe weather, or other incidents, the region has
limited alternative routes.
During such events, Varner Road functions as a de facto bypass. However, the corridor
lacks the infrastructure necessary to safely and efficiently accommodate diverted
interstate traffic, including heavy truck volumes. The roadway serves a complex mix of
commercial vehicles, local residents, pedestrians, and businesses. Without
improvements, this creates elevated safety risks and significant congestion.
The State of California has identified a segment of Varner Road as one of the most
dangerous roadways in the state. Between 2019 and 2023, the corridor experienced 17
fatal and serious injury crashes, resulting in 29 victims. The 2023 closure of I -10 during
Tropical Storm Hilary further underscored the vulnerability of the region’s transportation
network and the urgent need for a functional emergency bypass.
The proposed improvements include constructing additional turn pockets, widening the
intersections, extending turn pocket queue lengths, increasing curb return radii, and
improving traffic signal coordination. These enhancements are crucial for allowing Va rner
Road to function as a bypass in the event of future I -10 closures.
101
Reliable regional mobility is critical to Palm Desert residents, local businesses,
emergency responders, and the broader Coachella Valley economy. Investment in this
project will strengthen transportation resilience, improve safety outcomes, and support
long-term economic vitality.
For these reasons, the City of Palm Desert respectfully urges your favorable consideration
of CVAG’s funding request.
Sincerely,
Evan Trubee
Mayor, City of Palm Desert

RE: Coachella Valley Water District Community Project Funding Request – PFAS
Regulatory Compliance Project
Dear Senators Padilla and Schiff, and Representative Calvert:
On behalf of the City of Palm Desert, I write in strong support of the Coachella Valley
Water District’s (CVWD) Fiscal Year 2027 Community Project Funding / Congressionally
Directed Spending request to establish in-house PFAS testing capabilities.
CVWD currently lacks the specialized equipment necessary to analyze per- and
polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) internally and must subcontract testing to commercial
laboratories. In the past year alone, approximately 900 drinking water, wastewater, and
recycled water samples were analyzed at a cost of roughly $450,000.
As federal and state PFAS regulations evolve, additional compounds are expected to be
regulated at lower detection levels. Establishing in -house testing will enable CVWD to
meet current and future compliance requirements, improve turnaround times, enhance
quality control, and reduce long-term reliance on outside laboratories.
This investment will support the procurement, installation, validation, staff training, and
certification of advanced laboratory equipment. Developing local PFAS testing capacity
will strengthen regional water quality monitoring, protect public health, and support
informed water management decisions throughout the Coachella Valley.
For these reasons, the City of Palm Desert respectfully urges your support of this project.
Sincerely,
Evan Trubee

RE: Support for Palm Springs International Airport Terminal Security Breach Gate
Replacement Project
Dear Senator Padilla, Senator Schiff, and Congressman Calvert,
On behalf of the City of Palm Desert, I write in strong support of the City of Palm Springs’
Fiscal Year 2027 Congressionally Directed Spending / Community Project Funding
request for the Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) Terminal Security Breach Ga te
Replacement Project.
Palm Springs International Airport serves as a vital regional transportation hub for
residents, visitors, and businesses throughout the Coachella Valley. Maintaining reliable
and secure passenger processing systems is essential to ensuring safe and efficie nt
airport operations.
This project will replace the airport’s existing exit lane breach control system located in the
terminal exit area serving the curbside and baggage claim. The current revolving door
system has been in operation since 1998 and is approaching the end of its useful life, making
replacement parts increasingly difficult to obtain and creating reliability and maintenance
challenges. The system was designed to accommodate approximately 1,000 passengers
per hour, while peak demand at PSP now approaches 2,100 passengers per hour.
Replacing this system will improve operational reliability, enhance passenger throughput,
and support efficient airport operations as passenger volumes continue to grow.
For these reasons, the City of Palm Desert respectfully urges your support of the City of
Palm Springs’ Community Project Funding request for the Palm Springs International
Airport Terminal Security Breach Gate Replacement Project.

RE: SunLine Transit Agency’s Maintenance Facility Upgrade Project
Dear Senators Padilla and Schiff:
On behalf of the City of Palm Desert, I am writing to express our strong support for
SunLine Transit Agency’s Maintenance Facility Upgrade Project appropriations request.
This request would fund the construction of a new, state-of-the-art maintenance facility to
replace SunLine’s nearly 40-year-old facility at its Thousand Palms headquarters.
SunLine serves as a vital component of the Coachella Valley’s regional transportation
network, supporting more than 450,000 residents across a 1,120 -square-mile service
area. With nearly 3 million passenger trips provided annually, SunLine ensures access to
employment, healthcare, education, and essential services. The agency’s Commuter Link
service further strengthens regional connectivity by linking the Coachella Valley to major
employment and service centers.
SunLine’s ability to maintain reliable and innovative transit service is increasingly
constrained by its aging maintenance facility. The existing structure no longer meets the
operational demands of an expanding fleet, including low - and zero-emission vehicles.
The lack of adequate infrastructure and climate control creates challenging working
conditions during extreme summer temperatures, which routinely exceed 120 degrees.
These conditions directly affect employee safety, retention, and operational effici ency,
ultimately impacting service reliability for the communities SunLine serves.
Palm Desert residents rely on SunLine for daily mobility, workforce access, and regional
connectivity. Continued investment in modern transit infrastructure is critical to sustaining
economic vitality, supporting environmental goals, and ensuring equitable access to
essential services throughout the Coachella Valley.
For these reasons, the City of Palm Desert respectfully urges your support of this project.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 26, 2026
PREPARED BY: Anthony J. Mejia, City Clerk
SUBJECT: RATIFICATION OF LETTER SUPPORTING ASSEMBLY BILL 1855
(GONZALEZ) – PASSENGER RAIL CEQA EXEMPTIONS
RECOMMENDATION:
Ratify the issuance of the letter supporting Assembly Bill 1855 (Gonzalez) - Passenger Rail
CEQA Exemptions.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On March 17, 2026, the City submitted a letter supporting Assembly Bill 1855 (Gonzalez), which
would provide a targeted California Environmental Quality Act exemption for certain passenger
rail projects.
AB 1855 would expand eligibility for an existing CEQA exemption for certain passenger rail
projects by revising the qualifying criteria. The bill would remove the requirement that eligible rail
projects be exclusively served by zero-emission locomotives, or Tier 4 or cleaner locomotives
as specified, and would clarify that the mainline rail for a project must be located entirely within
an existing rail or highway right-of-way, allowing coverage of other infrastructure necessary for
service. The bill would also allow certain Tier 4 or cleaner passenger rail projects to qualify where
the project provides new, improved, or increased passenger rail service that is longer than five
miles where no such service exists as of January 1, 2027, and runs parallel to a highway corridor.
For Palm Desert, improved passenger rail service could support broader regional mobility, expand
transportation options for residents and visitors, and strengthen long-term connectivity within the
Coachella Valley. Streamlining eligible rail projects may help advance transportation improvements
that align with the City’s broader interest in multimodal access and regional connectivity.
In accordance with Resolution No. 2025-020, Mayor Trubee and Mayor Pro Tem Pradetto
reviewed and approved the letter in advance of formal ratification by t he City Council.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact associated with this action.

RE: AB 1855 (Gonzalez), Passenger Rail CEQA Exemptions - SUPPORT
On behalf of the City of Palm Desert, I am pleased to express our support for AB 1855
(Gonzalez), which would provide a targeted California Environmental Quality Act
exemption for certain passenger rail projects.
Passenger rail service is important to the Coachella Valley because it can improve
regional mobility and expand transportation choice in a largely auto -dependent area. As
inland Southern California continues to grow, communities will increasingly benefit f rom
additional travel options that improve access to jobs, services, education, entertainment,
and other destinations within the region and beyond.
For the Coachella Valley, expanded passenger rail service also offers an important
opportunity to strengthen regional connectivity and provide a practical alternative to
driving along heavily traveled corridors such as Interstate 10. In addition to improvi ng
mobility, these types of investments can help reduce congestion and support broader air
quality goals.
AB 1855 would help remove a barrier to advancing eligible passenger rail projects. For
communities such as Palm Desert, this type of focused streamlining can help support
transportation improvements that better serve the long-term needs of the Coachella Valley.
For these reasons, the City of Palm Desert respectfully supports AB 1855 (Gonzalez).

AB 1855: Passenger Rail CEQA Exemptions
Creighton Kauss, Legislative Director – Creighton.Kauss@asm.ca.gov (916) 319-2036
SUMMARY: AB 1855 exempts certain
passenger rail projects from California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in a
targeted, pragmatic manner to expand
transportation alternatives in driving-
dependent communities across the state.
Streamlining delivery and reducing cost of
passenger rail projects will ultimately better
connect people with jobs, education,
recreation, and vital services.
BACKGROUND: SB 71 (Wiener) enacted in
2025 expanded CEQA exemptions for certain
passenger rail projects. To qualify for this
exemption, passenger rail projects must be
located entirely within an existing rail or
highway right-of-way (ROW) and the service
must exclusively use either zero-emission
locomotives, or, as specified, Tier 4 or cleaner
locomotives. Projects using Tier 4 or cleaner
locomotives must not be located in an air
basin designated as a serious, severe, or
extreme nonattainment area for particulate
matter and ozone.
ISSUE: Residents across California deserve
access to transportation alternatives such as
passenger rail. State policies prioritize
reducing single-occupancy driving to meet
state environmental goals, yet many
communities in growing regions lack access
options other than driving.
While CEQA relief is currently offered to
certain passenger rail projects, the following
provisions are too narrow to incentivize
the expansion of transportation
alternatives where they are most
needed:
• Excluding projects on most shared use
railroads where freights also operate;
• Requiring all needed infrastructure to
be entirely within existing ROW; and
• Limiting CEQA relief in high-need air
basins to zero-emission passenger rail,
when expanding any passenger rail
service in these air basins would
improve air quality.
SOLUTION: AB 1855 removes the
requirement that rail projects be exclusively
used by zero-emission locomotives, or Tier 4
or cleaner locomotives, as specified, to qualify
for a CEQA exemption, and clarifies that the
mainline rail for a project must be located
entirely within an existing rail or highway rail
right-of-way, enabling coverage of other
infrastructure necessary for service.
Additionally, this bill enables projects for Tier
4 or cleaner passenger rail service to qualify
for a CEQA exemption if the project provides
for new, improved, or increased passenger
rail service that:
1. Is longer than five miles where none
exist as of January 1, 2027; and
2. Runs parallel to a highway corridor.
Streamlining delivery of passenger rail
projects in driving-dependent communities
improves air quality, enhances mobility,
strengthens the economy, and improves
quality of life for California’s residents.

ASSEMBLY BILL No. 1855
Introduced by Assembly Member Jeff Gonzalez
(Coauthors: Assembly Members Castillo, Jackson, Johnson, and
Wallis)
(Coauthors: Senators Seyarto and Valladares)
February 11, 2026
An act to amend Section 21080.25 of the Public Resources Code,
relating to environmental quality.
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 1855, as introduced, Jeff Gonzalez. California Environmental
Quality Act: exemption: passenger rail service.
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a lead
agency, as defined, to prepare, or cause to be prepared, and certify the
completion of, an environmental impact report on a project that it
proposes to carry out or approve that may have a significant effect on
the environment or to adopt a negative declaration if it finds that the
project will not have that effect. CEQA also requires a lead agency to
prepare a mitigated negative declaration for a project that may have a
significant effect on the environment if revisions in the project would
avoid or mitigate that effect and there is no substantial evidence that
the project, as revised, would have a significant effect on the
environment.
CEQA, until January 1, 2040, exempts from its requirements certain
projects for the improvement, institution, or increase of passenger rail
service, including the maintenance, construction, or rehabilitation of
stations, terminals, or existing operations facilities, which will be
exclusively used by zero-emission trains or certified Tier 4 or cleaner
99
115
rolling stock or locomotives, as provided. CEQA requires, for purposes
of this exemption, that the project be located entirely within an existing
rail right-of-way or existing highway right-of-way, as provided.
This bill would instead eliminate the condition that the public project
be exclusively used by zero-emission trains or certified Tier 4 or cleaner
rolling stock or locomotives, thereby expanding the scope of the
exemption. The bill would require, for purposes of the exemption, the
mainline rail of the project, instead of the whole project, to be located
entirely within an existing right-of-way or existing highway
right-of-way.
As part of the above-described exemption, CEQA prohibits a public
project from being eligible for that exemption if used by certified Tier
4 or cleaner rolling stock or locomotives that are not zero-emission
rolling stock or locomotives and the project is located in an air basin
designated as a serious, severe, or extreme nonattainment area for
particulate matter and ozone.
This bill would instead authorize an otherwise ineligible project, as
described above, to be eligible for the exemption if the project would
provide daily passenger rail service between termini more than 5 miles
apart where none exists as of January 1, 2027, and the rail service would
run parallel to a state highway or interstate highway corridor.
Because a lead agency would be required to determine whether a
project qualifies for these expanded exemptions, the bill would impose
a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act
for a specified reason.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

CITY OF PALM DESERT
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 26, 2026
PREPARED BY: Anthony J. Mejia, City Clerk
SUBJECT: RATIFICATION OF LETTER SUPPORTING ASSEMBLY BILL 2002
(SOLACHE) - REGIONAL EARLY ACTION PLANNING
RECOMMENDATION:
Ratify the issuance of the letter supporting Assembly Bill 2002 (Solache) relating to the Regional
Early Action Planning program.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On March 17, 2026, the City submitted a letter supporting Assembly Bill 2002 (Solache), which
would codify the Regional Early Action Planning program framework to support regional and
local housing planning efforts.
AB 2002 would establish a statutory framework for the Regional Early Action Planning g rant
program, or REAP 1.0, and, if funded by the Legislature, distribute funding on a population basis
to assist regional governments with Regional Housing Needs Assessment responsibilities and
help cities and counties meet housing and zoning obligations. REAP 1.0 supported fair housing
programs, technical assistance on housing elements and site inventories, and broader
implementation readiness during the sixth RHNA cycle.
As noted in the City’s support letter, stable planning support is important to Palm Desert’s ability
to keep pace with RHNA obligations, implement state housing law, and prepare local policies
and tools that help move from planning requirements to implementation. Ratification of the letter
does not obligate the City to take any additiona l action at this time, but affirms the City’s support
for continued planning resources that may benefit local and regional housing efforts.
In accordance with Resolution No. 2025-020, Mayor Trubee and Mayor Pro Tem Pradetto
reviewed and approved the letter in advance of formal ratification by the City Council.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact associated with this action.

RE: AB 2002 (Solache) Regional Early Action Planning Fund — SUPPORT
Dear Assembly Member Solache:
The City of Palm Desert is pleased to support AB 2002 (Solache), which would codify the
Regional Early Action Planning program’s proven framework and support future regional
and local housing planning efforts.
REAP 1.0 demonstrated the value of early planning investment by helping regions and
local agencies strengthen housing policy, technical assistance, fair housing planning, and
implementation readiness. AB 2002 builds on that successful model and responds to a
practical need: jurisdictions face increasingly complex housing requirements, but the prior
one-time program expired without a permanent funding structure.
For cities like Palm Desert, stable planning support is important to keeping pace with
RHNA obligations, implementing state housing law, and preparing local policies and tools
that help communities move from planning requirements to actual implementation.
For these reasons, the City of Palm Desert respectfully supports AB 2002 and thanks you
for your leadership on this important measure.
Sincerely,
Evan Trubee

AB 2002 - Regional Early Action Planning Updated: 2/19/26 Updated: 1/22/26SUMMARY
AB 2002 codifies the Regional Early Action Planning
grant program (REAP 1.0) to solidify its proven model of
delivering tangible results in expediting housing
development. If funded by the legislature through a one-
time allocation, the bill proposes distributing funding on
a population basis to support regional governments’
Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA)
responsibilities and California’s 541 cities and counties to
meet their housing and zoning obligations. In the SCAG
region, REAP 1.0 supported the adoption of 140 fair
housing programs and enabled SCAG to provide
technical assistance to 129 agencies on housing elements
and/or site inventories during the 6th RHNA Cycle. In
conjunction with a modest annual investment, AB 2002
will safeguard the integrity of the state’s housing planning
framework, improve the RHNA process, and ensure
California can meet its long-term housing goals.
BACKGROUND
California remains in a severe housing crisis, with
millions of units needed to meet current and future
demand. The RHNA program is the backbone of the
state’s approach, ensuring every region—and ultimately
every city—plans for its share of the state’s housing need.
Regional governments develop a RHNA distribution
methodology, balancing complex statutory factors related
to housing need, jobs, transportation, equity, and
environmental constraints. Despite its statewide
importance, RHNA has historically been an unfunded
mandate. Regional governments have been responsible
for increasingly sophisticated technical analyses,
stakeholder engagement, data modeling, and coordination
with HCD—all without any dedicated resources to
conduct the extensive work.
PROBLEM
Recognizing this gap, the legislature created REAP 1.0
(2019–2023) as a one-time investment to support RHNA
implementation and local planning. REAP 1.0 proved
highly effective: regions produced more accurate
methodologies, provided extensive assistance to cities
and counties, aligned planning work across jurisdictions,
and delivered zoning and infrastructure readiness that
enabled significant future housing capacity. In the SCAG
region alone, REAP 1.0 significantly enhanced efforts
that led to the development of almost 220,000 housing
units between 2020 and 2023. REAP 1.0 demonstrated
that small upstream investments in planning yield
significant downstream gains in housing readiness and
production.
Unfortunately, REAP 1.0 was administered through the
statutory framework of the Local Government Planning
Support Grants Program, but it was not codified as a
standalone or ongoing program. When the one-time
budget appropriation expired, the program ended, leaving
no permanent funding source to support RHNA
administration.
The next RHNA cycle will be the most expensive and
complex in California history. Recent legislative changes
require regions to analyze two new income categories,
interview households with special housing needs,
undergo expanded HCD review, and meet more rigorous
equity, environmental, and data standards. These
requirements strengthen the system but dramatically
increase compliance costs. Without a dedicated funding
source, regions cannot meet these requirements, and cities
and counties will risk losing access to the planning
assistance they relied on during REAP 1.0.
SOLUTION
AB 2002 codifies the REAP 1.0 framework to solidify
its impact for the 7th Cycle of RHNA and beyond.

ASSEMBLY BILL No. 2002
Introduced by Assembly Member Solache
February 17, 2026
An act to add Chapter 3.16 (commencing with Section 50515.11) to
Part 2 of Division 31 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to housing.
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 2002, as introduced, Solache. Local government assistance:
Regional Early Action Planning Fund.
Existing law, the Planning and Zoning Law, requires each county and
each city to adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan for the
physical development of the county or city, and specified land outside
its boundaries, that includes, among other specified mandatory elements,
a housing element. That law requires the Department of Housing and
Community Development, in consultation with each council of
governments, to determine the existing and projected need for housing
in each region and further requires the appropriate council of
governments, or the department for cities and counties without a council
of governments, to adopt a final regional housing need plan that allocates
a share of the regional housing need to each city, county, or city and
county, as provided. Existing law establishes the Local Government
Planning Support Grants Program, administered by the department, for
the purpose of providing regions and jurisdictions with one-time funding,
including grants for planning activities to enable jurisdictions to meet
the sixth cycle of the regional housing need assessment, as provided.
This bill would establish the Regional Early Action Planning Fund
in the State Treasury for the purpose of providing councils of
governments, regional entities, and jurisdictions with one-time funding,
99
133
including grants for planning activities, to enable those entities to meet
the 7th and subsequent cycles of the regional housing need assessment.
The bill would require the department to allocate funds, upon
appropriation by the Legislature, from the Regional Early Action
Planning Fund to each council of governments or regional entity
responsible for allocating regional housing need that applies and
qualifies for those moneys, as specified. The bill would authorize a
council of governments or regional entity to expend funds awarded for
certain purposes, including for activities that support the development,
improvement, or implementation of the methodology for the 7th and
subsequent regional housing needs assessment cycles, and for providing
jurisdictions with technical assistance, planning, temporary staffing, or
consultant needs associated with updating local planning and zoning
documents, as provided. The bill would require a jurisdiction that
receives a suballocation of funds to only use that suballocation for
housing-related planning activities, as provided. The bill would authorize
the department to monitor expenditures and activities of an applicant,
as the department deems necessary, to ensure compliance with program
requirements.
Existing law, the Administrative Procedure Act, sets forth the
requirements for the adoption, publication, review, and implementation
of regulations by state agencies.
This bill would require the department to issue guidelines to
implement the above-described provisions and would exempt those
guidelines from the rulemaking provisions of the Administrative
Procedure Act.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
line 1 SECTION 1. Chapter 3.16 (commencing with Section

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
General Plan Annual Progress Report
California state law requires all cities and counties to adopt a general plan, generally in the form
of a long-range planning document “for the physical development of the county, or city, and any
land outside its boundaries which in the planning agency’s judgment bears relation to its
planning” (Gov. Code §65300). The City Council adopted the 2040 Palm Desert General Plan
on November 10, 2016, via Resolution No. 2016-87. The City’s General Plan contains nine (9)
elements and implements eight (8) mandatory elements required by California Government
Code (GC) Section 65302 as summarized below:

General Plan Overview
The Palm Desert General Plan charts the path for Palm Desert’s future and is the principal
tool for guiding the physical form and development of the city. At the same time, it is a
visionary document that lays out the community’s long-term goals and objectives for the
future. The Palm Desert General Plan provides long-term policy direction on land use and
community design, mobility, housing, infrastructure, economics, health, public facilities,
and services of the City through 2040.
In 2013, more than 100 interested residents, business owners, and policy makers worked
together to develop a 20-year strategic plan for the City. The yearlong process and resulting
document, the 2013-2033 Strategic Plan, Envision Palm Desert - Forward Together
(“Envision Palm Desert”), laid the groundwork and direction for this General Plan Update.
The community members developed an overall community vision, priorities, strategies,
action steps, and measures of success. Envision Palm Desert identified the City’s Vision and
several important strategies that pertain to planning, land use and transportation, including:
• Expand economic competitiveness
• Build on tourism, education, arts, and business successes
• Enhance quality of life
• Attract new employers
• Leverage universities
• Create an authentic downtown
• Anticipate new demographics and market trends
• Capitalize on the city’s outstanding climate and geography
• Expand access throughout the City
Given the connections to planning, land use, and transportation, the Strategic Plan
recommended that the City prepare a General Plan Update.
On November 10, 2016, the Palm Desert City Council adopted Resolution No. 2016-86
certifying a Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (SCH No. 2015081020) for the 2016
Palm Desert General Plan Update, and Resolution No. 2016-87 approving the 2016 General
Plan Update with a 2040 horizon year. The update generally focused on:
• Creating updated policies for achieving the priorities set forth in the Strategic Plan for:
Arts & Culture; Economic Development; Education; Energy & Sustainability; Land
Use, Housing & Open Space; Parks & Recreation; Public Safety & Emergency
Services; Tourism & Marketing, and Transportation.
146
GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT | 2025

• Creating policies and framework to foster the development of a true city
center/downtown.
• Creating policies and implementation actions to further enhance the city’s leading
sustainability and energy efficiency efforts.
The General Plan contains nine (9) elements and implements the mandatory elements
required by California Government Code (GC) Section 65302 as follows:
Table 1: Palm Desert General Plan Elements
Land Use & Community Character Land Use Element (GC § 65302(a))
Mobility Circulation Element (GC § 65302(b))

Safety Safety Element (GC § 65302(g)(1))
Public Utilities & Services Conservation Element (GC § 65302(d))
City Center Area Plan Not Required
Housing Housing Element (GC § 65302(c))
Senate Bill 1000 (Leyva, 2016) introduced the requirement for local agencies containing
disadvantaged communities (as defined in Gov. Code§ 65302, subd. (h)(4)(A)) to prepare an
Environmental Justice Element. The Environmental Justice element is optional for the City of
Palm Desert as the City planning area does not contain any census tracts which qualify as
disadvantaged communities pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 39711.
Since its adoption in 2016, the Palm Desert General Plan has been amended five (5) times
as summarized below in table 2.

General Plan Annual Progress Report
The General Plan Annual Progress Report (APR) monitors progress in implementing and
updating the Palm Desert General Plan each year. This report is in compliance with
Government Code Section 65400, which requires that local jurisdictions submit an annual
report to their legislative bodies, the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and
the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) by April 1st. This report is
provided to help citizens and City officials gauge progress towards achieving the City’s stated
goals and objectives.
The City did not previously submit General Plan APRs based on an exemption for charter
cities per Government code Section 65700. The adoption of SB 1333 in 2019 however,
removed the exemption and required all jurisdictions to prepare General Plan APRs. The City
submitted its first General Plan APR in 2024. This General Plan APR satisfies that requirement
by providing an overview of General Plan implementation in calendar year 2025 and
comparing it to State guidance and the General Plan. This is the City’s second reporting of
the General Plan APR to the state.
This report will highlight some of the major accomplishments made during the 2025
reporting period and provide a summary of work completed toward the implementation
actions and policies of the General Plan in Attachment A. Changes from 2024 are highlighted
in blue. The Housing Element Annual Progress Report is also included as Attachment B and
contains the state mandated reporting information and is presented in the state mandated
format.

Housing Development
The Housing Element works hand in hand with the Land Use Element to balance the land
uses available in the city to accommodate future growth. Land use designations are
designed to accommodate all types of housing, to allow for the development of single family
and multi-family units to meet the needs of the City’s residents, now and in the future. The
Housing Element includes a description of existing housing types, condition of existing units,
overcrowding, overpayment, special housing needs, and the demand for affordable housing
in the City. This section highlights various efforts completed in 2024 towards implementing
the programs and policies of the Housing Element. The complete Housing Element Annual
Progress Report is provided as a separate document, Attachment B, with the required data
and in the format mandated by state law.
Regional Housing Needs Allocation
The City’s regional housing needs allocation (RHNA) determined by the Southern California
Association of Governments (SCAG) is 2,790 housing units for the 6th Cycle 2021– 2029
Planning Period. Within this allocation, the city is required to plan for four income and
affordability categories: very-low income, low income, moderate income, and above-
moderate income. The City’s RHNA by affordability levels is 675 units of very-low-income
households, 460 low-income households, 461 moderate income households, and 1,194
above-moderate income households.
Building Permits Issued
In 2024, the City of Palm Desert issued building permits for the development of 111 new
housing units. The table below shows the City’s progress towards the overall RHNA for the
6th Cycle Planning Period

CITY OF PALM DESERT
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 26, 2026
PREPARED BY: Mariela Salazar, Management Analyst
SUBJECT: AMENDMENTS TO THE EL PASEO VILLAGE PUBLIC PARKING
EASEMENT AGREEMENT AND THE PARKING MANAGEMENT PLAN
FOR THE EL PASEO VILLAGE SHOPPING CENTER
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve the Second Amendment to the El Paseo Village Public Parking Easement
Agreement between the City of Palm Desert and The Gardens on El Paseo LLC.
2. Approve the Second Amendment to the Parking Management Plan (PMP) for the El Paseo
Village Shopping Center Public Parking Easement.
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute all documents necessary to implement the project.
BACKGROUND:
The Public Parking Easement Agreement (Agreement) for the El Paseo Village Shopping Center
(Shopping Center), located on the south side of El Paseo between San Pablo Avenue and
Lupine Lane, (see map below) was approved on September 8, 2008, and recorded on October
2, 2008. The Agreement established a public parking easement within the Shopping Center
parking lot to support the El Paseo Commercial District. A First Amendment to the Agreement
and Parking Management Plan (PMP) was approved by City Council on June 11, 2009, updating
parking operations.
Ownership of the property has since been transferred to The Gardens on El Paseo LLC, which
is responsible for maintaining the parking facilities governed by the public parking easement and
PMP. The agreement ensures a specified number of parking spaces remain available to the
public and that operations align with City parking requirements for the El Paseo area.
ANALYSIS:
The Gardens on El Paseo LLC has requested amendments to allow installation of electric vehicle
(EV) charging infrastructure within the Shopping Center parking lot. The proposed amendments
would allow:
Installation of ten (10) EV charging stations.
Designation of ten EV charging stalls, including two (2) ADA-compliant spaces.
A net reduction of six (6) parking spaces due to installation and circulation adjustments.
The reduction will not affect the required number of public parking spaces established under the
original agreement, or the required number of parking spaces for the Shopping Center. The
amendments primarily update the parking site plan exhibits to reflect the revised layout and EV
charging locations. All other terms of the agreement remain unchanged.
185
City of Palm Desert
Page 2 of 3
This project supports City and State sustainability goals by promoting EV infrastructure while
maintaining adequate parking in the El Paseo commercial district.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This action qualifies for a CEQA exemption under Section 15301 (Existing Facilities), as it
involves minor modifications to an existing developed site with no expansion of use.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund with this action. All costs for installation,
operation, and maintenance of the EV charging infrastructure will be the responsibility of the
property owner.
Per Electric America, the City may receive sales tax revenue from the EV charging stations;
however, the amount cannot be determined at this time.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office.
ATTACHMENTS:
1. El Paseo Village Public Parking Easement Agreement
2. El Paseo Village Public Parking Easement Agreement-First Amendment
3. Second Amendment to the El Paseo Village Public Parking Agreement Easement
4. Second Amendment to the Parking Management Agreement Plan
5. Electrify America-EV Charging Stations

Freedom,

Electrify America is unlocking the freedom of the open road for electric
vehicle (EV) drivers. We are building one of the largest public DC ultra-fast
charging network in the United States. With Electrify America, EV drivers have
the freedom to go just about anywhere. They can explore more destinations,
travel across the country, or recharge while they are out and about. Our ultra-fast
chargers can power capable EVs in as little as 30 minutes—just enough time
to run an errand or two and get back on the road fast. With Electrify America,
EVs represent freedom like never before.
Now you can join Electrify America’s mission. We are teaming with leading
property owners and top brands to deliver the most advanced coast-to-coast
network of EV charging stations. Electrify America plans to have more than
1,800 fast charging stations and 10,000 individual chargers either installed
or in construction by the end of 2025. Leveraging scale, technology, and
a universal access approach, Electrify America is best positioned to serve
the majority of current and future EV models.

Creating

The EV charging opportunity for retail and mixed use
Electrify America is collaborating with site hosts to create
a national network of EV charging stations, without asking
property owners and retail brands to shoulder the capital
costs to site and maintain high-value infrastructure.
As a retailer or shopping center owner, outfitting your
business and creating lifestyle habits that keep consumers
coming back for more are critical. With so many options
of new technologies and amenities, it can be difficult to
predict the potential return of any investment.
One thing is certain, the consumer landscape is changing
before our eyes as online shopping redefines how
consumers buy products. As the volume of digital
transactions continues to rise, retail and mixed-use
properties need to be thoughtfully redesigned to get
ahead of the changing tides.
Industry leaders are programming new touchpoints

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 26, 2026
PREPARED BY: James Bounds, Finance Supervisor
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO CONTRACT NO. C44960 WITH PFM ASSET
MANAGEMENT, A DIVISION OF U.S. BANCORP ASSET MANAGEMENT,
INC. TO EXTEND THE CONTRACT FOR INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
AND ADVISORY SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve Amendment 1 to Contract No. C44960 with PFM Asset Management, a division of
U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. to extend the contract term for investment
management and advisory services through June 30, 2027.
2. Authorize the City Attorney to make necessary non-monetary changes to the amendment.
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment and all documents necessary to
effectuate this action.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On March 23, 2023, the City Council approved the award of Contract No. C44960 to PFM Asset
Management LLC for the provision of investment advisory services. In late 2024 PFM Asset
Management’s accounts were consolidated under their parent company U.S. Bancorp Asset
Management, Inc., and C44960 was reassigned to U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc (PFM).
Under the current agreement, PFM provides the City with comprehensive investment advisory
services. These services include portfolio management, ensuring compliance with applicable
investment policies, conducting market analysis, and offering ongoing consultation to support
the prudent stewardship of City funds.
PFM has successfully reduced the City’s interest rate risk through portfolio diversification and
the strategic laddering of maturities. Prior to this partnership, the City employed a passive “buy-
and-hold” investment approach, purchasing securities to hold until maturity. Under PFM’s active
investment strategy, they now actively monitor market conditions and reallocate assets to
sectors demonstrating stronger growth potential, thereby enhancing portfolio performance and
resilience.
For comparison, a key metric for evaluating investment performance is total dollar return. Total
dollar return is a measure that tells how much money has been made or lost from investments
over a specific period, expressed in dollar terms. The table and chart below shows the change
and increase in earnings over the past 3 years with PFM.

Portfolio Analysis 3 Months Year 1 Cumulative
The portfolio’s benchmark is the U.S. Treasury Index
The current contract is scheduled to expire on March 30, 2026. To ensure continuity of
investment advisory services and to avoid any disruption to the City’s financial operations, staff
recommends extending the contract term by an additional 15 months. The proposed extension
would revise the contract expiration date to June 30, 2027. No other changes to the scope of
services or compensation structure are proposed as part of this action.
Approval of the recommended extension will allow the City to continue to benefit from receiving
consistent and experienced investment advisory services.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Approval of the proposed extension of Contract No. C44960 with PFM Asset Management, a
division of U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. will result in a fiscal impact in line with prior
year expenditures. Compensation for investment advisory services will continue in accordance
with the existing fee structure and contractual terms.
The recommended extension does not require additional appropriations for the current Fiscal
Year (FY), and the cost for FY 2026-27 will be included in the annual budget request. Extending
the contract term through June 30, 2027, allows the City to align the contract with our fiscal year
cycle.

CITY OF PALM DESERT
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 26, 2026
PREPARED BY: Andrea Staehle, Human Resources Director
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU)
BETWEEN THE CITY OF PALM DESERT AND THE PALM DESERT
EMPLOYEES ORGANIZATION (PDEO) AND AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE CITY OF PALM DESERT AND UNREPRESENTED EMPLOYEES
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Palm Desert and the
Palm Desert Employee Organization (PDEO), effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031.
2. Approve the Agreement between the City of Palm Desert and Unrepresented Employees
effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031.
3. Authorize the City Manager to take act ions to implement the MOU and agreement between
the City of Palm Desert, PDEO, and Unrepresented Employees.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The City recognizes the Palm Desert Employees Organization (PDEO) as the bargaining unit
representing general non-exempt and exempt non-supervisory employees. The current
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Palm Desert and PDEO, covering
compensation, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment, expires on July 1, 2026.
In anticipation of the expiration, the City and PDEO began negotiations in January 2026 for a
new MOU.
Additionally, the City maintains established terms and conditions of employment for
unrepresented employees, which include supervisors, managers, and confidential employees.
The current terms are set to expire July 1, 2026. In anticipation of the expiration, the City met
with representatives of the unrepresented employee group to discuss updates to compensation,
benefits, and other working conditions. The proposed terms align with the Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) between the City and the Palm Desert Employees Organization (PDEO).
Following several meetings, the parties reached tentative agreements with PDEO in February
2026. PDEO members approved the tentative agreements on March 6, 2026. The City met with
the unrepresented employees to discuss terms and conditions of employment and finalized the
agreement in mid-March 2026.
For both groups, negotiations were collaborative and conducted in good faith, with all parties
engaging in open discussions to address key issues. The tentative agreements and
unrepresented agreement reflect a balanced approach that supports fiscal responsibility while
helping the City retain and support its highly valued employees.

The Grade, Step and Wage Rates Schedule for employees covered by this
Agreement is set forth in the Allocated Positions and Salary Resolution adopted
by the City Council.
Salaries will be increased by the following amounts on the first full pay period
following the effective date:
A. July 1, 2026: The salary schedule will increase by 3.5% and employees
employed by the City on the effective dates will receive a total of $3,500 flat
stipend distributed in the following way:
a. $2,000 will be paid to employees who are employed on the date this
MOU is approved by the PDEO membership and City Council.
Employees hired after the approval date are not eligible for payment

D. July 1, 2029: The salary schedule will increase by 3.0%.
E. July 1, 2030: The salary schedule will increase by 3.0%.
4.2 Night Differential Pay
Employees who are assigned to perform their duties between the hours of 6:00
p.m. and 6:00 a.m. for a special project (and for whom the majority of hours fall
after 6:00 p.m.) are eligible for night differential pay at the rate of $2.50 per hour.
346
City of Palm Desert and PDEO MOU
July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2031
Page 3 of 14
This does not apply to employees assigned to standby duty and receiving standby
pay.
Night differential pay will be subject to the following regulations:
• Night Differential schedules must be pre-approved by the Department
Head;
• Night Differential amount paid will be $2.50 per hour;
• Employees on “stand-by” and receiving stand-by pay who are called
back to work are not eligible for Night Differential, because they have
already been compensated through the ‘stand-by’ and ‘call-back’
provisions;
• In order to qualify, the majority (greater than 50%) of the work must be
performed between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.
4.3 Working on Holidays
A. Non-exempt employees may be paid at the overtime rate when required to
work on a scheduled holiday. In order to receive the overtime rate for
holiday work the following conditions must be met:
• The employee must work at least forty (40) hours in the same
workweek the holiday falls in (holiday hours count towards hours
worked when computing the total for the workweek);
• The employee cannot have been scheduled an alternate day off in
the same workweek;
• If the employee takes sick or vacation time during the same
workweek, such time shall not be counted as hours worked for the
computation of overtime.
B. Employees scheduled to work on the July 4 holiday shall be credited with
an additional floating holiday, which must be used during the same calendar
year.
C. Compensation for holidays and floating holidays will be based on the
employees schedule.
4.4 Stand By and Call Back Pay
When a nonexempt employee is scheduled for uncontrolled standby duty, such
employee will be considered to be on-call. “On-call” means and includes that
period of time, other than regularly scheduled work time, during which an
347
City of Palm Desert and PDEO MOU
July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2031
Page 4 of 14
employee may be called back to provide services that are the responsibility of the
department in which the employee is employed.
During this period of “on-call”, the employee is free to engage in the employee’s
regular activities so long as the employee is available to respond by phone or
email within a reasonable period of time, typically one hour, and is in a condition
to work.
Such employee shall be compensated by a payment at the employee’s regular
rate of pay in the workweek in which standby duty was incurred in accordance
with the following:
A. Two hours per day, each weekday;
B. Three hours per day, each Saturday, Sunday or holiday.
“Callback” means and includes those occasions when a nonexempt employee
reports to duty during off-duty hours responding to a city request made after the
employee has completed the normal shift and left the workstation.
When a nonexempt employee is called back for duty during off hours, such
employee shall receive a minimum of two hours for all work performed plus time
worked in excess of two hours. Such employee shall be compensated by a
payment at the rate of one and one-half times the employee’s regular rate of pay
in the workweek that callback duty incurred.
For purposes of callback, time spent by the employee in traveling to and from the
employee’s place of residence to the work area shall not be considered hours
worked.
4.4 Bilingual Pay
Employees who have the ability to provide bilingual services in Spanish or a City
Manager-approved second language may be designated as a bilingual employee
required to use their skills as a part of their City employment. This designation must
be made by the appropriate department head and approved by the City Manager
or designee in writing. Designated employees shall receive a stipend of $50 for
verbal communication and $100 for written and verbal communication per pay
period. Eligible employees must successfully complete an initial assessment test
to receive such designation. An employee who fails the assessment test may re-
take the test every six (6) months. Employees on any form of leave time in excess
of (1) month shall be ineligible to receive bilingual pay until the employee returns
to duty.
Employees receiving bilingual pay may be used by any department to provide
bilingual services.

City of Palm Desert and PDEO MOU
July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2031
Page 5 of 14
4.4 Deferred Compensation (457b) Match
The City shall provide a 457b plan intended to assist in planning for retirement.
The City agrees to match unit members’ contributions up to $200 per month (NTE
$2,400 per calendar year).
ARTICLE 5 – BENEFITS
The City’s Personnel Ordinance shall govern eligibility for benefits. Benefits in
place on July 1, 2026 shall continue during the term of this agreement unless the
PDEO and City meet and confer, and reach agreement, on proposed changes.
5.1 Employee Flexible Benefits – “Cafeteria Plan”
The City shall provide its employees with health, vision, and dental plan benefits
through an IRS Section 125 Flexible Benefits Plan. This plan is referred to as the
“Cafeteria Plan” because it offers a “menu” of benefits choices. The plan provides
premium coverage for health, dental and vision insurance plans. In addition, the
City will provide a flat $75.00 monthly flex plan credit to the cafeteria plan which
can be used toward the purchase of benefits, placed in a Flexible Spending
Account or received as taxable cash via payroll. Employees who choose the lowest
cost health plan available are eligible for additional flex plan credits, with the
amount based on family size as follows:
Single: $50 monthly
Two-Party: $75 monthly
Family: $100 monthly
Those employees who ‘opt out’ of the City provided health plans and provide proof
of coverage elsewhere and coverage participants, shall receive a flat monthly
stipend as followed:
Single: $250 monthly
Employee +1 or more: $500 monthly
(a) Health Insurance Benefits
The Flexible Benefits Plan will provide premium coverage (with no employee

CITY OF PALM DESERT
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 26, 2026
PREPARED BY: Shawn Muir, Community Services Manager
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF THE PALM DESERT CIVIC CENTER SKATE PARK
OPERATIONAL MODEL AND POTENTIAL TRANSITION TO AN
UNSUPERVISED PILOT
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Implement a 12-month pilot program for the Civic Center Skate Park as an unsupervised
facility, while ensuring compliance with California Health and Safety Code § 115800 through
required signage and enforcement of protective equipment requirements.
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute any amendment or related documents to Contract No.
C32410, if necessary, to implement the City Council’s direction, including the 12-month pilot
period
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The Civic Center Skate Park (Skate Park) was constructed in 1999 as part of the City’s efforts
to expand recreational amenities within Civic Center Park. The Skate Park currently operates as
a supervised facility. The City contracts with Desert Recreation District (DRD), which provides
onsite attendants during operating hours.
Monday – Friday 2:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
Saturday – Sunday 8:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m.
Seven Days Per Week 8:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m.
Parks and Recreation Committee Discussion
The Parks and Recreation Committee (Committee) has discussed the operational model for the
Skate Park at previous meetings, primarily in response to concerns regarding potential
underutilization of the facility. As a result, staff prepared an action item f or the Committee’s
review at the March 3, 2026, meeting.
During that discussion, Committee members relayed feedback from the local skating community
indicating that constant supervision may be perceived as a barrier to use. Members noted that
some skaters feel the presence of an attendant “watching over” the park may discourage
participation and detract from the informal, self -regulated culture typical of skate parks, as well
as concerns regarding the strict enforcement of elbow and knee pad requirements.
367
City of Palm Desert
Skate Park Operational Model_______________________________________________
Page 2 of 4
California Health and Safety Code § 115800
The Skate Park is subject to California Health and Safety Code § 115800, which requires all
users of public skate parks to wear helmets, elbow pads, and knee pads. For unsupervised
parks, the law allows compliance through:
1. Adoption of a local ordinance mandating protective gear, and
2. Posting clear signage notifying users of the requirement and potential citations for
noncompliance.
The City currently complies with these requirements. Implementing these measures, along with
ongoing maintenance and routine inspections, satisfies statutory requirements and provides
limited liability protection under Government Code Section 831.7 for injuries sustained during
hazardous recreational activities, such as performing stunts or tricks on skateboards or other
wheeled recreational devices.
Parks and Recreation Committee Recommendation:
The Committee recommends transitioning the Skate Park to unsupervised use through the end
of the calendar year as a pilot program. The intent is to evaluate whether this operational change
increases accessibility and usage while maintaining acceptable safety and maintenance
conditions.
Staff supports the Committee’s recommendation but advises that a 12 -month pilot is preferable
to capture seasonal variations, weather effects, and school schedules, providing a more
complete and reliable assessment.
To support evaluation, the Committee recommends:
Implementing weekly monitoring of park conditions, usage patterns, and any incidents or
maintenance concerns.
Forming a subcommittee to determine responsibility for conducting weekly monitoring.
Compiling DRD usage data to establish a baseline of attendance under current
supervised operations for comparison during the pilot.
Findings from the pilot, including usage data, observed trends, and operational or safety
considerations, will be presented to the City Council at the conclusion of the pilot period.
Considerations:
Option 1: Continue Supervised Operations
Pros: Active safety enforcement, immediate incident response, structured programming,
deters vandalism.
Cons: Ongoing staffing costs, access limited to staff availability, potential staffing
challenges.
Option 2: Transition to Unsupervised Operations (Committee Recommendation / Staff 12 -
Month Pilot)
Suspend DRD Skate Park Attendant services.
Update signage for State-required protective gear.
Implement 12-month pilot with weekly monitoring; form subcommittee to determine
monitoring responsibility.
368
City of Palm Desert
Skate Park Operational Model_______________________________________________
Page 3 of 4
DRD continues opening/closing and routine inspections.
Pros: Reduced staffing costs, expanded access, aligns with other municipal skate parks.
Cons: No immediate onsite incident response, reduced direct enforcement, potential vandalism,
limited structured programming.
Next Steps / Staff Recommendation
Transition to unsupervised operations with 12-month pilot.
Ensure signage is installed and maintained, evaluate updates to municipal code, and
maintain records of reported incidents and claims to preserve legal protections.
Implement weekly monitoring and reporting; subcommittee to oversee.
Continue DRD support for opening, closing, and routine inspections.
Authorize City Manager to execute contract amendment only if necessary.
Return to City Council with pilot findings and recommendations.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Transitioning to unsupervised operations could result in reduced contract costs of approximately
$100,000 over the 12-month period. These savings will be evaluated during the pilot period.
Minor administrative costs related to monitoring and data collection are anticipated but are
expected to be minimal.

PREPARED BY: Shawn Muir, Community Services Manager
SUBJECT: APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO CONTRACT NO. C32410 WITH
DESERT RECREATION DISTRICT FOR PARK AND PORTOLA
COMMUNITY CENTER SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve Amendment No. 4 to Contract No. C32410 with Desert Recreation District to
incorporate the updated Pricing Matrix (Exhibit B), reflecting revised labor and material rates
for Park and Portola Community Center services.
2. Authorize the City Attorney to make any necessary non -monetary changes to the
amendments.
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the amendments and any documents necessary to
effectuate the actions taken herewith.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The City of Palm Desert (City) has maintained a partnership with the Desert Recreation District
DRD) for nearly 30 years to provide recreational programming, facility staffing, and community
services. DRD supports the City as a facilities operator and provider of sports programming,
activities, and special park events.
The contract includes park attendants, janitorial services, and other facility staff to monitor daily
activities. At the Portola Community Center (PCC), DRD provides on -site administrative staff
who manage reservations for City parks and fields. They are open from 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.,
serving as a liaison between the City and the public.
The current cost-plus-15% agreement was originally executed in November 2012 and
automatically renews in five-year increments unless terminated with one year’s notice. Since the
last contract amendment, the scope and cost of services have grown due to increased
programming demands, expanded maintenance responsibilities, and higher labor costs. In
response, DRD has submitted an updated Pricing Matrix (Exhibit B) that reflects revised labor
rates and materials costs.
Amendment No. 4 incorporates this new matrix, effective July 1, 2025, with a 2.5% increase
applied in each subsequent fiscal year. Acceptance of the updated matrix ensures that the City’s
reimbursement aligns with current service costs while maintaining continuity in recreational
services. City staff will continue to monitor performance under the agreement and evaluate
potential cost adjustments as new park facilities are added in future years.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Public Works Operations Budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 includes a total of $755,000
in Account No. 1104610-4309200 (Civic Center Park / Professional - Contract), and Account No.
1104344-4309000 (Portola Community Center / Professional – Other) for reimbursement of
services pursuant to this contract. The increased cost labor costs passed thr ough to the City
take effect July 1, 2025. The operational costs beginning in FY 2025-26 are estimated as follows:
Services FY 2025/26 FY 2026/27 FY 2027/28 FY 2028/29 FY 2029/30
Estimated Cost for Service $689,191 $706,417 $724,076 $742,177 $760,732
Mileage Reimbursement $30,000 $30,000 $30,000 $30,000 $30,000
Average Cost for Materials $20,000 $20,000 $20,000 $20,000 $20,000
Total Estimated Cost $739,191 $756,417 $774,076 $792,177 $810,732
Sufficient funds have been budgeted for FY 2025-26; therefore, this action has no further impact
on the General Fund. Staff will budget accordingly for subsequent years during the annual
budget approval process, and adjust other expense accounts, if necessary, to help offset the
increase.

Date: September 11, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Anthony J. Mejia, City Clerk
Subject: City Council Meeting of September 11, 2025
Below you will find questions received from the Mayor or Councilmembers and answers provided by
City staff regarding tonight’s City Council meeting:
ITEM 13j: INFORMATIONAL REPORT ON ROAD CLOSURES SCHEDULED TO OCCUR ON EL
PASEO ASSOCIATED WITH FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 ROUTINE SPECIAL EVENTS
Q1: Which events, and what dates, are expected to close Magnesia Falls and/or San Pablo in
2025?
A1: Currently, there are no additional events scheduled in 2025 that will impact Magnesia Falls or San
Pablo.
ITEM 13k: INFORMATIONAL REPORT ON ROAD CLOSURES ASSOCIATED WITH THE RUN
TRAVIS RUN EVENT
Q1: Is there a projection for possible attendance?
A1: The event organizer has estimated about 2,000 participants.
Q2: What other locations have hosted prior to 2025?
A2: The Run Travis Run concept was developed in 2024 and events have been held in Los Angeles,
New Orleans, and New York.
ITEM 13q: APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO CONTRACT NO. C32410 WITH DESERT
RECREATION DISTRICT FOR PARK AND PORTOLA COMMUNITY CENTER SERVICES
Q1: How many people are available on weekends to supervise in parks?
A1: Park Supervisors work Monday through Friday, however there are at least two Desert Recreation
District attendants (Park Attendant I or II) at the parks 7 days a week.
ITEM 14b: 2026 CALIFORNIA DESERT PLEIN AIR FESTIVAL SPONSORSHIP REQUEST
Q1: Are there examples of other festivals in California, including attendance and profits?
A1: California is home to 7–10 established plein air festivals, including well-known events in Laguna
Beach, Carmel, Sonoma, and Oceanside. Most report participation by 20–60 artists, but typically
do not publish attendance figures or financial data. Their longevity, some running for decades,
points to strong community support and long-term sustainability
Q2: Outside of advertising value, what is the estimated economic impact?
A2: While a formal economic impact study has not yet been conducted, we can reasonably estimate
significant per-person spending based on data from other local events. With over 3,000 attendees,
277415
09/11/2025 Question & Answer Memo
Page 2 of 2
including both local and out-of-area visitors, participating across multiple days and venues, the
festival likely generated meaningful economic activity for hotels, restaurants, shops, and other
businesses in Palm Desert and throughout the Coachella Valley.
Q3: How many of the selected artists live outside the valley? Did they collect any data on people
who attended and stayed/ate/shopped in the Palm Desert? Coachella Valley?
A3: Of the 175 participating artists, more than 50 traveled from outside the Coachella Valley. In
addition, the majority of VIP guests also came from out of the area. This mirrors other plein air
festivals in California, which regularly attract a mix of local and visiting artists, contributing to both
cultural exchange and tourism.
Q4: Was data collected on visitor spending?
A4: No formal visitor spending survey was conducted, but many events took place at the Artists Center
at El Paseo and nearby cultural and retail areas. Based on location and attendance patterns, it’s
reasonable to conclude that visitors dined, shopped, and explored attractions throughout Palm
Desert, contributing to local economic activity.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 26, 2026
PREPARED BY: Ryan Lamb, Sr. Project Manager
Jess Culpeper, Director of Capital Projects
SUBJECT: APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO CONTRACT NO. C49180C WITH
TILDEN-COIL CONSTRUCTORS, INC., FOR NEW LIBRARY FACILITY
(PROJECT NO. CFA00027)
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve Amendment No. 1 to Contract No. C49180C with Tilden -Coil Constructors, Inc. on
the New Library Facility Project, to compensate completed preconstruction and design
services, and add demolition of the Parkview Office Building to the contract, reducing the
total compensation from $1,737,227 to $1,068,460 ($86,451 Progressive Design-Build
Services plus $982,009 Demolition) as Tilden-Coil’s final scope of work for the project.
2. Authorize maintaining contingency in the amount of $170,000 for unforeseen e xpenses
related to demolition.
3. Authorize the City Attorney to make any necessary non -monetary changes to the
amendments.
4. Authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment and any documents necessary to
effectuate the actions taken herewith.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On March 28, 2024, Richärd Kennedy Architects was awarded the contract for Conceptual
Design Services for a New Library Facility. Richärd Kennedy advanced the project through
Schematic Design. At the conclusion of Schematic Design in June 2025, cost estimates were
prepared by Richärd Kennedy and independently by the Construction Manager, Accenture.
These estimates identified approximately $23 million in construction costs and were used as the
basis for establishing the City’s approved total project budget of $30 million.
On November 13, 2025, Tilden-Coil Constructors, Inc. was awarded a Progressive Design-Build
contract for the New Library Facility Project with a Progressive Design-Build budget of $25
million. The $25 million budget was derived from the $23 million estimated construction cost plus
$2 million for professional services fees. The Schematic Design package, prepared by Richärd
Kennedy Architects, was provided to Tilden -Coil as part of the Request for Proposals (RFP) for
the Design-Builder and subsequently used as the baseline for validation and advancement into
Design Development.
As part of the Progressive Design-Build process, Tilden-Coil completed a Design Validation
Report that evaluates the Schematic Design against the City’s program requirements, site
conditions, constructability, and project budget to confirm the feasibility of the proposed
427

Approve Amendment No. 1 to C49180C for Tilden-Coil Constructors, Inc. (CFA00027)
Page 2 of 5
approach before advancing to further design. Through this validation, Tilden-Coil developed a
cost estimate of approximately $49.2 million for the Progressive Design-Build scope of work,
which would serve as the basis for establishing a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for
construction.
Following receipt of the validation findings, staff conducted follow-up discussions with Richärd
Kennedy, who remain confident that the project can be delivered within the previously
established budget. In parallel, the City engaged independent reviews by TKE Engineering and
Accenture to validate cost assumptions, escalation, and overall budget alignmen t. This
combined review process confirmed that the project remains viable within the City’s $30 million
budget, acknowledging potential impacts from market conditions and construction cost
escalation since completion of the Schematic Design phase.
Cost Variance Considerations
The difference between the estimates prepared during Schematic Design and those developed
through the validation process appears to be influenced by several factors, including:
Interpretation of schematic design intent. Many building systems and materials remain
conceptual at the schematic level. Differences in interpretation of the Schematic Design
documents are contributing to elevated pricing assumptions.
Conservative early-phase estimating. Tilden-Coil has indicated its estimate includes
elevated contingencies and risk allowances consistent with early-stage design and
current market conditions.
Conflicting benchmarking data. Tilden-Coil has provided examples of recent civic
projects reflecting higher cost-per-square-foot metrics; however, these projects are not
directly comparable in scope, scale, or program complexity to the Richärd Kennedy
design. Conversely, Richärd Kennedy has cited comparable projects delivered within cost
parameters aligned with the City’s approved budget.
Importantly, Tilden-Coil’s Design Validation Report produced a cost estimate of approximately
$49.2 million, which is significantly higher than the City’s approved Progressive Design -Build
budget of $25 million. While some cost challenges could potentially be addressed through design
refinements, the magnitude of this variance cannot be resolved without materially altering the
project’s intended design and program elements. This discrepancy reinforces the need to
conclude Tilden-Coil’s contract after demolition and issue a new RFP to procure a Design-
Builder capable of delivering the project within budget.
Tilden-Coil has mobilized to the site in preparation for demolition activities and has installed
construction fencing. The City and Tilden-Coil have negotiated an amendment to the existing
agreement that would compensate Tilden-Coil for its completed preconstruction and design
services while adding demolition of the Parkview Office Building. This scope of work is consistent
with the City’s approved project budget. Demolition activities could commence as early as April
6, 2026.

Page 3 of 5
The originally approved $170,000 contingency represented approximately 10% of the design
services contract and now equates to roughly 17% for the demolition scope. This higher
percentage is appropriate given the increased likelihood of unforeseen conditions during demo,
and maintaining it is prudent to manage risk and avoid delays.
Next Steps
Following execution of this amendment, which concludes Tilden -Coil’s preconstruction and
design services, staff will issue a new RFP to procure a Design -Builder to complete the New
Library Facility Project and will return to the City Council with a recommendation for award. Staff
anticipates this process will take approximately two months and will actively pursue opportunities
to recover time and accelerate the overall project schedule where feasible.

COST VARIANCE
Considerations
•Interpretation of schematic design intent
o Many building systems and materials remain conceptual at the schematic level
o Differences in interpretation of the Schematic Design documents
•Conservative early -phase estimating
o Estimate includes elevated contingencies and risk allowances
•Conflicting benchmarking data
o Tilden-Coil projects reflect higher cost-per-square-foot metrics
o Richärd Kennedy projects delivered within cost parameters aligned with the City’s approved budget
