This information will be available for use when and if Cathedral City files an application with the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) to annex the Thousand Palms area. Background The City of Cathedral City's sphere of influence borders on the City of Palm Desert and on its sphere of influence. In the last year, Cathedral City has begun to study the possibility of annexing their sphere of influence into their city limits. Toward this end, Cathedral City retained a consulting firm, Ralph Anderson & Associates, to prepare a fiscal analysis for annexing all of the unincorporated lands within their sphere of influence north of Interstate 10. On March 27, 2013, the Ralph Anderson & Associates fiscal analysis was presented to the Cathedral City city council. The council members directed staff to commence the process of applying to the Riverside County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) to annex the areas shown outlined in white on the following map: Staff Report Review of Cathedral City Fiscal Impact Analysis Page 2 of 3 August 22, 2013 Because the proposed Cathedral City annexation area (outlined in white) shares boarders with Palm Desert and its sphere of influence (outlined in red), the Palm Desert City Council is necessarily concerned with the financial viability of such an annexation. Palm Desert does not want a failing city as a neighbor, any more than Cathedral City wants to financially fail. Consequently, the City Council retained Terra Nova Planning & Research in May 2013 to review and analyze the Ralph Anderson & Associates study. They asked that the information in that study be compared against information provided in a 2012 fiscal impact analysis prepared by Terra Nova for Sun City and lands to the west, some of which overlapped with lands studied in Cathedral City's analysis. Terra Nova's comparison of the two studies is now complete, and is presented with this k staff report. glplanNngUaun aylaian�statt reports\cathedfal city fiscal report review 8-22-13.docx Staff Report Review of Cathedral City Fiscal Impact Analysis Page 3 of 3 August 22, 2013 The report identifies a number of reasons for the wide differences between the Cathedral City Study and the Palm Desert Study. Chief among them are: • The study areas were very different; fewer than 350 acres of Cathedral City's 9,700-acre study area were included in the Palm Desert Study. (The overlapping study area is depicted in yellow on the map on Page 2.) • The level of services provided by the City of Palm Desert is quite a bit higher, and consequently more expensive, than Cathedral City's. • Cathedral City assumes that almost three times the number of hotel rooms will be built in its study area than Palm Desert assumes will be built in its own study area. Additionally, the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) in Cathedral City is 12 percent, while the TOT in Palm Desert is 9 percent. • The method that Ralph Anderson & Associates uses for calculating sales tax is based on the population of Thousand Palms, rather than upon the amount of taxable retail sales in Thousand Palms. Terra Nova opines that this conservatively leads to a $600,000 over -estimate of sales tax revenue that Cathedral City will receive upon annexation of Thousand Palms. Staff requests that the members of the City Council receive, review, and file this report. In the event that Cathedral City files an application with LAFCO to annex their sphere of influence area, the information in the report can be used to craft a position statement for Palm Desert to offer during the public hearings that would be held on the matter. Fiscal Analysis There is no fiscal impact to the City of Palm Desert associated with receiving and filing this report. Submitted By: :ui pa t Head: Lauri Aylaian, Community Developme S.

RE: Review of City of Cathedral City Fiscal Impact Analysis for the Thousand Palms community Dear Lauri: We have completed our review of the "Draft Report Fiscal Analysis and Plan of Services for the City of Cathedral City Sphere of Influence within the Unincorporated Community of Thousand Palms," (Cathedral City Study) prepared by Ralph Andersen & Associates in March of this year. Our purpose was to determine why the findings of the Cathedral City Study varied significantly from the findings of the Fiscal Impact Analysis that Terra Nova prepared for the City of Palm Desert in 2012 (Palm Desert Study). Summary Findings This letter report details the findings of our analysis and comparison of the Cathedral City and Palm Desert studies. The following are the most significant points: Q The Cathedral City Study analyzed an area of 9700 acres while the Palm Desert Study analyzed 348 acres in Thousand Palms Q The Cathedral City Study over -estimates sales tax revenue immediately upon annexation by at least $600,000 Q If sales tax had been calculated correctly, the first year shortfall for Cathedral City would he at least $820,000 Q Cathedral City charges an extra I % in sales tax, Palm Desert does not Q Cathedral City receives Utility Tax revenue, but Palm Desert does not Q The Cathedral City Study assumes 1,366 new hotel rooms, generating 12% transient occupancy tax, versus 500 hotel rooms generating 9% TOT in the Palm Desert Study Q Future costs are estimated based on Cathedral City's current budget and level of service, which is much lower than Palm Desert's 42635 MELANIE PLACE, SUITE 101, PALM DESERT, CA 92211 760-341-4800 Ms. Lauri Aylaian July 25, 2013 Page 2 of 6 Detailed Analysis The discussion below first addresses short-term analysis (immediately upon annexation), and then considers the long-term (build out) analysis in more detail. Short -Term Analysis The Short -Term Analysis in the Cathedral City Study focuses on the first year after annexation — showing the City what to expect immediately following their acquiring the territory. It assumes only current conditions, and no new development. The following issues were identified in the Cathedral City Study. Where appropriate, comparisons to the Palm Desert Study are made. I. The Cathedral City Study encompassed an area of 9,700 acres, including those portions of Thousand Palms that are developed with residential, commercial and industrial projects. By comparison, the Palm Desert Study encompassed 348.4 acres of that area, all of which is either vacant, or sparsely developed (with the exception of Xavier Prep School and the Classic Club). The balance of the lands in the Palm Desert Study are lands in Palm Desert's Sphere of Influence which were not part of the Cathedral City Study, and that have completely different characteristics°from Thousand Palms. 2. The Cathedral City Study was able to generate per capita revenues and costs because of the development that currently exists in Thousand Palms. In .the Palm Desert Study, first year assumptions were for no significant revenues other than property tax for the 348.4 acres, because the lands are generally vacant and unpopulated, and would generate neither costs nor revenues. 3. Property transfer tax was calculated on a per capita basis in the Cathedral City study, and not on estimated resale rates in Thousand Palms. In this case, this is important for two reasons: the value of property in Thousand Palms is likely lower than Cathedral City's, especially because of the very high percentage of manufactured housing; and the population of Thousand Palms is older, and less likely to move than the population of Cathedral City. Since Property Transfer Tax is entirely based on resales, it is likely that the estimated revenues in this category are overstated. 4. The Cathedral City Study assumes that the population of Thousand Palms at annexation (7,715 persons) will add to Cathedral City's sales tax revenues. The Study estimates additional revenues of $498,477 for sales tax, and $297,346 in Transaction and Use Tax (a 1% increase to the Cathedral City sales tax rate that was approved by the voters three years ago and sunsets in 2015). The estimate is based on existing sales tax in Cathedral City divided by existing Cathedral City population, yielding a per capita sales tax generation rate. This sales tax generation rate was then applied to the 7.715 people of Thousand Palms, and resulted in the $795,823 in estimated revenue shown in the study (representing 20% of the total revenue in the first year of annexation). Ms. Lauri Aylaian July 25, 2013 Page 3 of 6 The methodology and. resulting revenues are flawed. The existing population in Thousand Palms will not change its shopping patterns when they are annexed. Because there are limited shopping opportunities in Thousand Palms, the existing population now shops in other communities, including Cathedral City, but also Palm Desert and Rancho Mirage. Cathedral City already receives sales tax lrom Thousand Palms residents, and this will not significantly increase because of annexation. The proper way to calculate sales tax generation in this case would have been to estimate the current sales of Thousand Palms businesses subject to sales tax, since that sales tax currently is distributed to the County. 'Therefore, because of the limited sales tax generating businesses in Thousand Palms currently, we believe the revenues are overstated by as much as $600,000. As a percentage of the total shown in the Cathedral City Study, total revenues are likely to be 15% lower than estimated. Finally, Palm Desert does not have a Transaction and Use Tax, so no such additional revenue was calculated in the Palm Desert Study. It is also important to note that because the 348.4 acres of Thousand Palms included in the Palm Desert Study is generally vacant, and does -not generate retail sales, none were shown in the first years of the analysis. 5. Several revenue sources were included in the Cathedral City Study that are not included in the Palm Desert Study: a. Utility Tax: Cathedral City has one, Palm Desert does not. In the Cathedral City Study, this accounts for I I % of total revenues. b. Business license fees, fines and forfeitures, and charges for services, which are all small amounts in the Cathedral City study, and which are similarly insignificant in Palm Desert. c. Franchise fees are included in the Cathedral City Study, but not in the Palm Desert Study. We are adding them to the update currently under way. 6. Under costs, the Cathedral City Study based costs on current levels of service (budget) in Cathedral City. As has been presented in the newspaper and other media outlets in the last few years, Cathedral City has made significant cuts in its budgets because of falling revenues. As a result, the levels of service provided by Cathedral City, when compared to those of Palm Desert, are much lower, and therefore less expensive on a per capita basis. For example, the cost of providing police services in the Cathedral City study is equivalent to $262 per capita, while the cost is $339 per capita in Palm Desert. All other costs are similarly lower in Cathedral City than they are in Palm Desert. 7. The Cathedral City Study did not assign costs for any "administrative" services at City Hall, with the exception of $8.500 for City Clerk expenditures associated with elections. It is assumed that -all additional work for the Planning, Building and Engineering departments will be offset by application fees, which is unlikely to be the case. Ms. Lauri Aylaian July 25, 2013 D-... 4 of 6 8. Finally, the Cathedral City Study assumes that the revenue collected from gas tax and Measure A will be sufficient to cover maintenance of roads in the annexation area. Given the age and condition of roads in Thousand Palms, this is unlikely to be sufficient for anything beyond slurry seal. Long -'Perm Analysis The Long - Term Analysis in the Cathedral City Study assumes a 25 to 30 year build out. The analysis does not detail how the conclusions were reached, but we have attempted to back into the calculations with the assumptions provided. 9. The property tax revenue calculation for the build out of Thousand Palms is calculated on a per capita basis in the long term analysis. Given that the build out projection includes 10,090 dwelling 'units, 17,036,020 square feet of industrial development and 3,435,163 square feet of commercial retail development, the calculation on a per capita basis is unlikely to be accurate. Property tax should have been calculated based on existing valuation for each type of land use (residential, industrial and commercial). This is particularly important because the value of residential development is considerably higher than the value of industrial development. 10. The Cathedral City Study assigns 400,000 square feet of retail to Specific Plan 343 (Berger Foundation), which is consistent with the square footage of retail assigned in the Palm Desert Study for this area. The sales tax revenue is consistent between the two studies. However, the Cathedral City Study assumes an additional 3 million square feet of retail commercial in other parts of Thousand Palms, thereby increasing the sales tax projection considerably. When compared to the vacant commercial lands in the Palm Desert Study, the Cathedral City Study has three times the square footage, generating three times more sales tax revenue. 11. The Cathedral City Study assumes the construction of a 350 room hotel within SP 343, consistent with the Palm Desert Study, and 216 time share units (32 more than the Palm Desert Study). In addition, the Cathedral City Study assumes the construction of six additional hotels: a 100 room hotel and a 300 room hotel at the Bob Hope interchange; and four more hotels at future Portola and DaVall interchanges. No information on the size of these last four hotels is provided, and no information on the room rate or occupancy level of any of the hotels is disclosed. The Cathedral City Study assumes build out TOT revenues of $4.5 million annually. Based on this figure, it appears that the Cathedral City Study assumed that 1,366 new hotel rooms would generate $114 per night room rates (assuming a 65% occupancy). The Palm Desert Study assumed a total of 500 additional hotel rooms, and 184 timeshare units. Occupancy rates are consistent between the two studies. It is important to note that there are two major differences in the potential TOT revenues between Cathedral City and Palm Desert: Ms. Lauri Aylaian .Iuly 25, 2013 Page 5 of 6 0 First, Cathedral City collects 12% TOT, where Palm Desert collects 9%. The 3% difference results in significantly higher TOT revenue for Cathedral City at build out. The Cathedral City Study estimates that build out will generate $4.5 million in revenue to the City (including time share units). The same room revenue in Palm Desert would generate $3.4 million in TOT. 0 Second, the Cathedral City Study calculates TOT for timeshare units. In Palm Desert, time share revenues are based on a combination of TOT and a flat rate per unit per year. 12. Cathedral City and Palm Desert both have a population of about 50,000 residents. Cathedral City's annual General Fund Expenditures are $31 million. Palm Desert's General Fund Expenditures are $45 million. Palm Desert's level of service is much higher than Cathedral City's. The costs estimated in the Cathedral City Study are based on Cathedral City's current budget. On that basis, the Cathedral City Study estimates that the build out population of 31,457 people would generate general government costs of $2,716,000, or $86.34 per capita; police costs of $8,731,286, or $277.56 per capita; and fire costs of $3,986,400, or $126.72 per capita. The general government costs are limited to an increase of 8 city employees in administration and community development, animal control costs and the costs of elections. Roadway maintenance is allocated a total of $1,460,306, based entirely on gas tax and Measure A revenue, with no analysis of whether these revenues will be sufficient to cover maintenance costs. By comparison, the Palm Desert Study estimated general government costs at $282 per capita, which included not only administration, but also parks maintenance, public building and landscaping maintenance, and other costs. The per capita cost for police protection was $339, and the cost for fire and ambulance services was $2,903,703 for an area of 3,000 acres, or one third of the area of the Cathedral City Study. The costs associated with both general government and police service were considerably higher in the Palm Desert Study. Given the level of service provided in Palm Desert when compared to Cathedral City, the differences are understandable. However, the Cathedral City Study excludes important items, including parks maintenance and the maintenance of public parkways and buildings, which are important components of municipal operation. Finally, the Palm Desert Study estimated roadway maintenance based on road miles, at an annual cost of $746,9 i 6 for an area of 3,000 acres. The Cathedral City Study estimate for 9.700 acres was $1,460,306. Again, the level of service provided by Palm Desert results in a much higher expenditure. Conclusion Because of the differences in Thousand Palms acreage considered in the two studies, it is difficult to complcte an `apples to apples' comparison. Ilowever, if acreage is set aside. two primary differences have been identified: the level of service provided in Palm Ms. Lauri Aylaian July 25. 2013 Page G of 6 Desert is much higher and more costly than that provided in Cathedral City; and the Cathedral City Study maximizes revenues while minimizing costs. Even at the lower level of service provided by Cathedral City, it is unlikely that a 60% increase in population (at build out), will be adequately served if general government costs increase by less than 1%, as predicted in the Cathedral City Study. Although likely to be conservative, the Palm Desert Study's estimate that a population increase of 35% (at build out) would generate an increase of 11% in general government costs is reasonable and credible.

Long -Term Anal The Long -Term Analysis in the Cathedral City Study assumes a 25 to 30 year build out. The analysis does not detail how the conclusions were reached, but we have attempted to back into the calculations with the assumptions provided. 9. The property tax revenue calculation for the build out of Thousand Palms is calculated on a per capita basis in the long term analysis. Given that the build out projection includes 10,090 dwelling units, 17,036,020 square feet of industrial development and 3,435,163 square feet of commercial retail development, the calculation on a per capita basis is unlikely to be accurate. Property tax should have been calculated based on existing valuation for each type of land use (residential, industrial and commercial). This is particularly important because the value of residential development is considerably higher than the value of industrial development. 10. The Cathedral City Study assigns 400,000 square feet of retail to Specific Plan 343 (Berger Foundation), which is consistent with the square footage of retail assigned in the Palm Desert Study for this area. The sales tax revenue is consistent between the two studies. However, the Cathedral City Study assumes an additional 3 million square feet of retail commercial in other parts of Thousand Palms, thereby increasing the sales tax projection considerably. When compared to the vacant commercial lands in the Palm Desert Study, the Cathedral City Study has three times the square footage, generating three times more sales tax revenue. 11.

The balance of the lands in the Palm Desert Study are lands in Palm Desert's Sphere of Influence which were not part of the Cathedral City Study, and that have completely different characteristics -from Thousand Palms. Ms. Lauri Aylaian July 25, 2013 Paee 2 of 5 The Cathedral City Study was able to generate per capita revenues and costs because of the development that currently exists in Thousand Palms. In the Palm Desert Study, first year assumptions were for no significant revenues other than property tax for the 348.4 acres, becauseit e lands are generally vacant and unpopulated; and no significant costs. Property transfer tax was calcula?4'ori ;mpe# bapita basis in the Cathedral City study, and not on estimated resale rates in Thousan� `'alms. In this case, this is important for two reasons: the value of property in Thousand Palms is likely lower than Cathedral City's, especially because of the very high percentage of manufactured housing; and the population of Thousand Palms is older, and less likely to move than the population of Cathedral City. Since Property Transfer Tax is entirely based on resales, it is likely that the estimated revenues in this category are overstated. The Cathedral City Study assumes that the population of Thousand Palms at annexation (7,715 persons) will add to Cathedral City's sales tax revenues. The Study estimates additional revenues of $498,477 for sales tax, and $297,346 in Transaction and Use Tax (a 1% increase to the Cathedral City sales tax rate that was approved by the voters three years ago and sunsets in 2015). The estimate is based on existing sales tax in Cathedral City divided by existing Cathedral City population, yielding a per capita sales tax generation rate. This sales tax generation rate was then applied to the 7,715 people of Thousand Palms, and resulted in the $795,823 in estimated revenue shown in the study (representing 20% of the total revenue in the first year of annexation). The methodology are resulting revenues are flawed. The existing population in Thousand Palms will not change its shopping patterns when they are annexed. Because there are limited shopping opportunities in Thousand Palms, the existing population now shops in other communities, including Cathedral City, but also Palm Desert and Rancho Mirage. Cathedral City already receives sales tax from Thousand Palms residents, and this will not significantly increase because of annexation. The proper way to calculate sales tax generation in this case would have been to estimate the current sales of Thousand Palms businesses subject to sales tax, since that sales tax currently is distributed to the County. Therefore, because of the limited sales tax generating businesses in Thousand Palms currently, we believe the revenues are overstated by as much as $600,000. As a percentage of the total shown in the Cathedral City study, total revenues are likely to be 15% lower than estimated. Finally, Palm Desert does not have a Transaction and Use Tax, so no such additional revenue was calculated in the Palm Desert Study. It is also important to note that because the 348.4 acres of Thousand Palms included in the Palm Desert Study is generally vacant, and does not generate retail sales, none were shown in the first years of the analysis. Ms. Lauri Aylaian July 25, 2013 Nee 3 of 5 Several revenue sources were included in the Cathedral City Study that are not included in the Palm Desert Study: a. Utility Tax: Cathedral City has one, Palm Desert does not. In the Cathedral City Study, this accounts for I I % of total revenues. b. Business license fees, fines and forfeitures, and charges for services, which are all small amounts in the Cathedral City study, and which are similarly non- significant in Palm Desert. c. Franchise fees are included in the Cathedral City Study, but not in the Palm Desert Study. We are adding them to the update currently under way. 6. Under costs, the Cathedral City Studiaftal based costs on current levels of service (budget) in Cathedral City. As has been presented in the newspaper and other media outlets in the last few years, Cathedral City has made significant cuts in its budgets because of falling revenues. As a result, the levels of service provided by Cathedral City, when compared to those of Palm Desert, are much lower, and therefore less expensive on a per capita basis. For example, the cost of providing police services in the Cathedral City study is equivalent to $262 per capita, while the cost is $339 per capita in Palm Desert. All other costs are similarly lower in Cathedral City than they are in Palm Desert. 7. The Cathedral City Study did not assign costs for any "administrative" services at City Hall, with the exception of $8,500 for City Clerk expenditures associated with elections. It is assumed that all additional work for the Planning, Building and Engineering departments will be offset by application fees, which is unlikely to be the case. 8. Finally, the Cathedral City Study assumes that the revenue collected from gas tax and Measure A will be sufficient to cover maintenance of roads in the annexation area. Given the age and condition of roads in Thousand Palms, this is unlikely to be sufficient for anything beyond slurry seal. Long -Term Analysis The Long -Term Analysis in the Cathedral City Study assumes a 25 to 30 year build out. The analysis does not detail how the conclusions were reached, but we have attempted to back into the calculations with the assumptions provided. 10. The Cathedral City Study assigns 400,000 square feet of retail to Specific Plan 343 (Berger Foundation), which is consistent with the square footage of retail assigned in f..W Comment [LA21: This is either too complicated for me to understand, or too t simplified Either way, i can't quite follow tyour reasoning. Ms. Lauri Aylaian July 25, 2013 Pase 4 of 5 the Palm Desert Study for this area. The sales tax revenue is consistent between the two studies. However, the Cathedral City Study assumes an additional 3 million square feet of retail commercial in other parts of Thousand Palms, thereby increasing the sales tax projection considerably. When compared to the vacant commercial lands in the Palm Desert Study, the Cathedral City Study has three times the square footage, generating three times more sales tax revenue. 11. The Cathedral City Study assumes the construction of a 350 room hotel within SP 343, consistent with the Palm Desert Study, and 216 time share units (32 more than the Palm Desert Study). In addition, the Cathedral City Study assumes the construction of six additional hotels: a 100 room hotel and a 300 room hotel at the Bob Hope interchange; and four more hotels at future Portola and DaVall interchanges. No information on the size of these last four hotels is provided, and no information on the room rate or occupancy level of any of the hotels is disclosed. The Cathedral City Study assumes build out TOT revenues of $4.5 million annually. Based on this figure, it appears that the Cathedral City Study assumed that 1,366 new hotel rooms would generate $114 per night room rates (assuming a 65% occupancy). The Palm Desert Study assumed a total of 500 additional hotel rooms, and 184 timeshare units. Occupancy rates are consistent between the two studies. It is important to note that there are two major differences in the potential TOT revenues between Cathedral City and Palm Desert. • First, Cathedral City collects 12% TOT, where Palm Desert collects 9%. The 3% difference results in significantly higher TOT revenue for Cathedral City at build out. The Cathedral City Study estimates that build out will generate $4.5 million in revenue to the City (including time share units). The same room revenue in Palm Desert would generate $3.4 million in TOT. 12. The costs estimated in the Cathedral City Study are based on Cathedral City's current budget. On that basis, the Cathedral City Study estimates that the build out population of 31,457 people would generate general government costs of $2,716,000, or $86.34 per capita; police costs of $8,731,286, or $277.56 per capita; and fire costs of $3,986,400, or $126.72 per capita. The general government costs are limited to an increase of 8 city employees in administration and community development, animal control costs and the costs of elections. Roadway maintenance is allocated a total of $1,460,306, based entirely on gas tax and Measure A revenue, with no analysis of whether these revenues will be sufficient to cover maintenance costs. By comparison, the Palm Desert Study estimated general government costs at $282 per capita, which included not only administration, but also parks maintenance, public building and landscaping maintenance, and other costs. The per capita cost for police protection was $339, and the cost for fire and ambulance services was $2,903,703 for an area of 3,000 acres, or one third of the area of the Cathedral City Study. The cost Ms. Lauri Aylaian July 25, 2013 Paee 5 of 5 associated with both general government and police services were considerably higher in the Palm Desert Study. Given the level of service provided in Palm Desert when compared to Cathedral City, the differences are understandable. However, the Cathedral City Study excludes important items, including parks maintenance and the maintenance of public parkways and buildings, which are important components of municipal operations. Finally, the Palm Desert Study estimated roadway maintenance based on road miles, at an annual cost of $746,916 for an area of 3,000 acres. The Cathedral City Study estimate for 9,700 acres was $1,460,306. Again, the level of service provided by Palm Desert results in a much higher expenditure. r v Nicole Sauviat Cr Principal (PIRalph Andersen 'Ralph June 11, 2013 TO: Leisa Lukes Andy Hall City of Cathedral City FROM: John Goss Ralph Andersen & Associates SUBJECT: Addendum: Fiscal Analysis and Plan of Services for the City of Cathedral City Sphere of Influence within the Unincorporated Community of Thousand Palms This is an addendum to the report, "Fiscal Analysis and Plan of Services for the City of Cathe- dral City Sphere of Influence within the Unincorporated Community of Thousand Palms." This addendum concerns the initial year revenue projection for Property Tax In -lieu Vehicle License Fee (pp. 8-9. Table II-13, p. 13, Table II-F, p. 23). The report assumes that, based on a per capita projection, this revenue source will produce $525,972 during the first year of annexation. Currently, Cathedral City receives nearly $8,000,000 from this tax. However, when the State adopted its budget (AB 89) it was done quickly and created statewide errors in the revenue base for cities. These errors included deleting this revenue source for cities incorporated since 2004 and for annexations. There has been a leg- islative effort to correct these errors, especially since these mistakes materially damaged newly incorporated cities. However, these errors have not been corrected, and the prospect of correcting them legislatively has diminished. If this revenue source continues to be unavailable to annexed areas, the revenue in Table II-F, Fire Option 2, is projected to be $3,219,249 rather than $3,745,221. This would mean that there would be a first year deficit of $587,261 rather than $61,289. Even though this revenue source has been made unavailable for annexations due to hasty state budget action, it continues to otherwise be a viable source of income for cities. As assessed value is added to each city, its income from this revenue source will increase. If Thousand Palms is annexed, any increase in assessed valuation in this community will be added to Cathedral City's revenue. Therefore, the projected increases in the Property Tax In -lieu Vehicle License Fee over the next 30 years are not affected. The projections during the first five and 10 years after annexation will be adjusted to reflect this lower initial revenue base and this information will be added to this addendum. Also, the impact of the TOT income not materializing along with the potential extension of the one -percent sales tax will be provided. This addendum is essentially a footnote to those sections of the report referencing this tax and its impact on the initial year of annexation, if Cathedral City decides to pursue the annexation of Thousand Palms.

Staff Report Potential Annexation Areas North of 1-10 May 9, 2013 Page 2 of 6 Background At its April 11, 2013 meeting, the City Council directed staff to prepare updated financial analyses on several issues related to potential annexation of areas north of Interstate 10 (1-10). Staff has worked with Terra Nova Planning & Research ("Terra Nova") to develop a detailed scope of work for these analyses, and is now returning to the Council to confirm the scope of the studies and to request authorization to award the contract. The proposed studies differ from those requested by the Council at the April 11, 2013, meeting for reasons described below. Sun City Annexation Analysis: LAFCO staff has confirmed that any annexation of land north of 1-10 in Palm Desert's sphere of influence must also include Bermuda Dunes. Therefore, the scope of services for the proposed contract with Terra Nova includes a fiscal analysis of revenues and expenditures for Sun City, the commercial properties south of Avenue 38, and Bermuda Dunes. The fiscal impact analysis will be for the area shown in green here: Cathedral 4 City Sphere of Influence Sun City Commercial Area 04 c � u Bermuda dunes � aPM[3 AVl aIND •Vy.

As part of their study, Cathedral City retained Ralph Anderson & Associates to prepare a fiscal impact analysis and plan for municipal services for their unincorporated sphere areas. A comprehensive review and analysis of the Ralph Anderson report will be performed by Terra Nova under the proposed contract with the City of Palm Desert. The goal is to gain a thorough understanding of why the results of Cathedral City's study are so different from the results that would be predicted from Palm Desert's earlier study of overlapping lands. The information gleaned from this review will inform the City Council as they consider whether to support, oppose, or take no position during public hearings on Cathedral City's annexation proposal. The area that is the subject of Cathedral City's analysis and plan for services is outlined in red here: g:WanningVaun aytaianlsphere of influence and annexatioMannexation fiscal imipact analysis 5-9-13.docx Staff Report Potential Annexation Areas North of 1-10 May 9, 2013 Page 4 of 6 Annexation of Areas Outside of the Palm Desert Sphere of Influence: A 2012 study by Terra Nova examined the fiscal impact of Palm Desert annexing Sun City u— s areas to the west that are not currently in the Palm Desert SOL This area, generally east of ,Jack Ivey Ranch and south of multi -species habitat conservation lands, is technically in Cathedral City's SOI, but has common interests with — and ties to — Palm Desert, with whom they share 1.8 miles of boundary along Interstate 10. The area contains the Classic Club and Xavier Preparatory High School and is shown in yellow here: Palm Desert's SOl is outlined in pink, but the land to the west (in yellow) has physical and community ties to Palm Desert, and has also been studied for potential annexation. On April 11, 2013, the City Council asked staff to include this area in analyses of potential annexation of Sun City and other areas already in the Palm Desert SOL However, after subsequent investigation, staff recommends that this area not be included in the analyses, and the proposed Terra Nova contract does not include this scope of work. The reason for omitting this area from further study is that the gAplanningllaun aylaian\sphere of influence and annexalionlannexation fiscal imipact analysis 5-9-13.docx Staff Report Potential Annexation Areas North of 1-10 May 9, 2013 Page 5 of 6 annexation as proposed would violate recently -enacted legislation, and modifying the proposed annexation area to comport with State law and LAFCO directives would likely require that Palm Desert annex all of Thousand Palms, which is a concept not previously contemplated by the Palm Desert City Council. The legislation that would prevent annexation of the land as configured above was enacted under SB 244 to protect Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities ("DUC"s). The law requires that DUCs not be left out of annexation efforts, and that they be included if an annexation is proposed in the vicinity. Three disadvantaged communities have been identified in Thousand Palms, including Jack Ivey Ranch, which marks the boundary of the territory in which the Council has expressed interest. Therefore, application for annexation of the area of interest to Palm Desert would necessarily include Jack Ivey Ranch and, because of LAFCO's previous insistence on keeping Thousand Palms whole, would probably include two more DUCs. The Palm Desert City Council has not expressed interest in annexing all of Thousand Palms, and the 2012 Terra Nova fiscal analysis of Sun City and areas extending to Jack Ivey Ranch showed an annual deficit of $3.4 million. The cost of studying the fiscal impact of adding one to three disadvantaged unincorporated communities (Jack Ivey Ranch and potentially DUC 1 and DUC 2, shown below) is not warranted without a specific request from the City Council. Therefore, the scope of the proposed contract does not include fiscal analysis of any of the land outside of Palm Desert's sphere of influence. While Palm Desert previously studied annexation of land at the far east end of Cathedral City's SOI, Jack Ivey Ranch ("DUC 3') — and possibly DUCs 1 and 2 -- would now be required to be a part of any future application for annexation. gaplanningVauri aylaiantsphere of influence and annexationlannexation fiscal imipact analysis 5-9-13.docx Staff Report w Potential Annexation Areas North of 1-10 0 u May 9, 2013 60 Page 6 of 6 Fiscal Analysis a The cost of the professional services proposed under the subject contract is $29,110; w u O 0 „ I 1 a no money has been budgeted for this expenditure.

Staff Report and Draft Fiscal Analysis and Plan for Services for the City of Cathedral City Sphere of Influence within the Unincorporated Community of Thousand Palms Recommendation By minute motion: That the City Council direct staff regarding further actions to take, if any, concerning potential annexation of areas north of Interstate 10. Background In recent years, Palm Desert policy makers have addressed several times the question of whether, and in what configuration, to annex areas north of Interstate 10 into the City. Most recently, in March 2012, the City Council received and reviewed a fiscal impact analysis (attached) that was prepared to study the potential annexation of the Sun City Palm Desert area and unincorporated lands to the west; one option was for the Sphere of Influence (SOI) lands that are north of Interstate 10 (described as Scenario A in the report), and another option was for the same area plus land within Cathedral City's SOI east of Jack Ivey Ranch (Scenario B). Scenario B lands include the Classic Club, Xavier Preparatory High School, and vacant lands on either side of Cook Street, which connects the area directly to Palm Desert. Ultimately the City Council continued staff's request for direction to a date uncertain. Staff Report Potential Annexation Areas North of 1-10 April 11, 2013 Page 2 of 4 During the last year, Cathedral City retained a consulting firm, Ralph Anderson & Associates, to prepare a fiscal analysis for annexing all of the unincorporated lands within their sphere of influence north of Interstate 10, which includes areas studied for annexation by Palm Desert under Scenario B. On Wednesday, 27 March 2013, the Ralph Anderson & Associates fiscal analysis was presented to the Cathedral City city council during a study session held to discuss the potential annexation. The council members directed staff to commence the process of applying to the Riverside County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) to annex the areas shown in red here: g.lplanning\laun aylaianlstalf reportslsun aty annexation 4-11-13 (2(.doax Staff Report Potential Annexation Areas North of 1-10 April 11, 2013 Page 3 of 4 Because the proposed Cathedral City annexation area (outlined in red) involves areas that Palm Desert studied last year for annexation, it is appropriate that the City Council determine now if they want to pursue annexation of these areas. Cathedral City is moving quickly towards annexation, which would preclude Palm Desert from having the opportunity to annex this area in the future. Although annexing land in the sphere of influence of another city is possible, it becomes increasingly difficult to do so as the land proceeds through the annexation process of the other city. In light of Cathedral City's impending annexation goals, staff requests direction from the City Council. Possible courses of action include: Do nothing. Determine that Palm Desert is growth and build out will focus on areas in current city limits and the Palm Desert SOI, and will not include any portion of the land that is currently in Cathedral City's sphere of influence. 2. Restudy potential revenue. Direct staff to identify and quantify additional revenue streams and land use changes that would be necessary to make cost neutral the annexation of some or all of the areas in question. This should be accompanied by informing LAFCO that Palm Desert will be requesting that the easternmost portion of the Cathedral City sphere of influence be detached from Cathedral City's sphere and annexed into Palm Desert's sphere. 3. Initiate annexation activity. Direct staff to retain a consultant to prepare the fiscal analysis and Plan for Services necessary to submit to LAFCO an application for annexation of areas north of Interstate 10. This could be done for either Scenario A (Sun City and associated areas currently in Palm Desert's SOI) or for Scenario B (Scenario A area plus the land east of .lack Ivey Ranch that is out of the Multi Species Habitat Conservation Plan conservation area). Fiscal Analysis The information produced during the study prepared for Palm Desert in 2012 demonstrates that neither area (described as Scenarios A and B in the analysis) north of Interstate 10 is financially viable under the conditions analyzed, and that annexation would pose a burden on the General Fund. More particularly, at build -out the annual costs would exceed annual revenues as follows: Scenario A (Sun City and area south of Avenue 38): -$5.5 million/year Scenario B (Scenario A plus Classic Club and Xavier Prep area): -$3.4 million/year This adverse impact on the General Fund could be mitigated by such mechanisms as fiscalization of land use and augmenting revenue through assessment of a parcel tax or gAplanningUaud aylaian\staH reporMsun dty annexation 4.11-13 (2).docx Staff Report Potential Annexation Areas North of 1-10 April 11, 2013 Page 4 of 4 creation of a community facilities district. Whether or not an annexation could ever be revenue neutral is uncertain and would require additional study. The cost of preparing a detailed fiscal impact analysis and Plan for Services sufficient to meet the requirements of LAFCO's annexation application would be less than $50,000. No money is contained in the current budget for such a study. If desired by the City Council, an appropriation from the unobligated General Fund would be needed.

Background This report provides supplemental information to the Fiscal Impact Analysis for Potential Annexation to the City of Palm Desert, which was presented to the City Council at its January 26, 2012, meeting. In particular, a technical addendum that corrects for an invalid land use assumption is provided, as is a memorandum explaining the computation of Highway Users Gas Tax and Measure A Fund revenues. Additionally, the Director of Public Works has provided an order -of -magnitude estimate of the capital cost for filling existing infrastructure needs in the study areas. This information is not generally included in a fiscal impact analysis, since the goal of such analyses is to determine the financial viability of an area once it has been fully developed and the infrastructure is complete. Nonetheless, it is useful information for a complete picture of the financial impact that annexation would have on the City of Palm Desert. 9 Staff Report Potential Annexation Fiscal Impact Analysis March 8, 2012 Page 2 of 2 The information produced during the study demonstrates that neither area (described as Scenarios A and B in the analysis) north of Interstate 10 is financially viable under the conditions analyzed, and that annexation would pose a burden on the General Fund. More particularly, at build -out the annual costs would exceed annual revenues as follows: Scenario A (Sun City and area south of Avenue 38): -$5.5 million/year Scenario B (Scenario A plus Classic Club and Xavier Prep area): -$3.4 million/year While one-time costs and revenues would be as follows: Scenario A: $22 million cost for meeting existing infrastructure needs $10.2 million total revenue from Developer Impact Fees through build out Scenario B: $44 million cost for meeting existing infrastructure needs $18.9 million total revenue from Developer Impact Fees through build out If required by the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), inclusion of Bermuda Dunes in these analyses would further diminish the financial viabilities of any proposed annexation.

Executive Summary In September 2011, the City Council directed staff to obtain a feasibility study on territory north of Interstate 10 (1-10) for Sun City Palm Desert and the adjacent commercial -retail areas. They asked that the narrow strip of land between the current northern city limits and the centerline of 1-10 be included in the study, and later directed that the areas near the Classic Club and Xavier Preparatory High School, west of Palm Desert's current sphere of influence, be included in an alternative scenario. The City Council specifically excluded Bermuda Dunes from the areas to be studied, while acknowledging that LAFCO staff likely will not recommend to the LAFCO Commission annexation of Sun City without inclusion of Bermuda Dunes. This report provides the City Council with the results of the completed studies, and seeks direction on whether to further pursue potential annexation of any of the areas at this time. Discussion in response to direction from the City Council, staff retained Terra Nova Planning & Research to perform fiscal analyses of the potential annexation of territory to the city of Palm Desert. Such studies are generally undertaken by cities that are considering expansion to determine if -- and to what magnitude -- the area(s) under consideration will have a positive impact on the city's budget, or if they would require support'by the General Fund. In particular, these studies seek to establish the conditions once the area is built out, when one-time developer fees no longer provide short-term revenue enhancements. For the sake of this study, two different scenarios were considered. The first scenario analyzed revenues and expenditures for all of the Palm Desert sphere of influence land north of the current city limits. The boundaries of this option, called Scenario A, are as outlined in red on the following map. Potential Annexation Fiscal Impact Analysis 26 January 2012 Page 2 of 5 The Scenario B analysis adds territory that is currently in the Cathedral City sphere of influence. It includes the Classic Club, Xavier Preparatory High School, and vacant lands on both sides of Cook Street, but excludes Jack Ivey Ranch. Scenario B boundaries are as shown below. g:WanningVauri ayiaian\staff reportslsun city annexation fiscal impact analysis 1.26-12.docx Potential Annexation Fiscal Impact Analysis 26 January 2012 Page 3 of 5 The results of this analysis show that for both scenarios, the revenues fall far short of the City's cost of providing services. This holds true for the present, when large portions of the areas are undeveloped, and for the future when all areas are built out. One of the fundamental reasons for this shortfall is the high percentage of residential lands in the area, and the comparatively small percentage of commercial sales tax -generating development. For comparison sake, ten percent of the land within Palm Desert's existing boundaries is devoted to commercial development, which accounts for 34% of the revenue to the General Fund. However, in Scenarios A and B, the percentage of sales tax -generating commercial land is less than half of that. The conclusions of a fiscal impact analysis can change significantly by changing the assumptions regarding land use, general administrative costs, sales tax generation, and the costs of providing public safety, Consequently, staff worked closely with Terra Nova to identify and quantify the most likely impacts of annexing territory north of 1-10. Specifically, the following precepts were judged to be key for a valid calculation of fiscal impact: • Undeveloped lands are assumed to be developed with land uses consistent with those designated in approved specific plans or, where no specific plans have been approved, with the City of Palm Desert General Plan. Because some of the land is already developed, the City will see immediate revenues and costs with either Scenario A or Scenario B annexation. Police services will be required at the same officer -to -resident ratio as is provided in the rest of the city. Although Sun City itself may require lesser policing because it is a gated community with its own security, the converse is likely to be true in the remaining annexation areas, which are largely planned as medium -to -high density residential developments; this is true in other parts of the City that have a mix of country clubs and apartments or open subdivisions. The City will receive only 7% of the total 1 % property tax assessed projects in the annexation areas. Property tax revenues will be further reduced due to the City's mandated contributions to the Education Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF). Approximately halt of the 7% property tax revenue collected by Riverside County is assumed to continue to be contributed to ERAF or an equivalent "revenue sharing" program. Some line items associated with the cost of general government will increase perceptibly as a result of annexation, while others will not. For instance, staffing levels, benefits, and overhead costs should not change for the City Manager's office, the City Council, and departments such as Finance, Special Events, and Risk Management. However, annexation would result in proportionally greater need for services such as: maintenance of roads, parks, storm drain and landscaping; police and fire services; cafe enforcement and animal control; and permitting, plan check, and inspections. • For years, the Redevelopment Agency and the General Fund have subsidized the Capital Reserve Fund by paying for major public works maintenance projects, such as drainage, paving, reroofing, and landscaping. The true cost of maintaining the City's infrastructure must be calculated using all funds spent on maintenance, not g:lplanningVauri ayWanlstaff reponslsun city annexation fiscal impact analysis 1-26-12.docx Potential Annexation Fiscal Impact Analysis 26 January 2012 Page 4 of 5 just those monies that were spent from the General Fund. These subsidies are not reflected in this study. It is therefore likely that the true cost of providing services to the annexation area will be greater than shown. Fiscal Analysis The findings of the fiscal impact analysis are briefly summarized here. Scenario A Annexation of Scenario A will add an estimated 15,144 residents to the City of Palm Desert. Build out of this area is projected to occur in ten years, at which time potentially $6.9 million annually in revenues would be generated. The largest single revenue generator is expected to be local Sales Tax ($2.3 million annually at 10-year build out), which is related to the second highest revenue source, Structural Fire Tax ($1.5 million annually at 10-year build out). These revenues are dependent upon commercial sales tax volume in the annexation area. The costs associated with serving this new area and its population are projected to be approximately $12.6 million annually at the end of the 10-year build out period. The most significant costs are those from Police Protection ($5.2 million annually at build out), closely followed by those from General Government operations ($4.2 million annually at build out). As such, development of the area is expected to result in an annual revenue shortfall of approximately $4.7 million at the end of the first five-year period. The shortfall is projected to grow to $5.6 million by build out at the end of the second five-year period. This is, in part, associated with the high percentage of residential development in the area and the costs of providing services to residents, and a comparatively small percentage of commercial sales tax - generating development. Residential lands comprise nearly 47% of the entire annexation area, and commercial lands account for 4%. Developer impact fee (DIF) revenues are projected to be $5.09 million at phase build out of each of the two phases. This assumes that development occurs evenly over the 10-year build out period. The highest sources of DIF revenue will be from the New Construction Tax and the Park & Recreation Facilities Fund, which will benefit from the future construction of new single-family and mufti -family dwelling units in the annexation area, particularly those in the Mirasera Specific Plan. Scenario B Annexation of Scenario B will result in a population increase of approximately 15,779 to the City of Palm Desert. Build out of the undeveloped lands in Scenario B is expected to take 20 years. Revenues at the end of the 20-year build out period are projected to be approximately $9.86 million annually. As with Scenario A, the largest revenue source will be local Sales Tax ($3.9 million annually), followed by Structural Fire Tax ($1.8 million annually) and Transient Occupancy Tax ($1.5 million annually). At the end of the 20-year build out period, annual costs are projected to be $13.4 million. As with Scenario A, the highest costs are associated with providing police protection ($5.5 million) and general government services ($4.49 million) to existing and future residents. 9Aplanning\lauri aylaian\staff reports\sun city annexation fiscal impact analysis 1-26-12.docx Potential Annexation Fiscal Impact Analysis 26 January 2012 Page 5of5 Build out of Scenario B is expected to generate an annual revenue shortfall of approximately $3.9 million at the end of the first five-year build out period. However, the shortfall is projected to fall slightly to $3.5 million at the end of the fourth five-year period. like Scenario A, residential development accounts for a much greater percentage of land in the annexation area (37°/6) than commercial development (50/6), and sales tax -generating opportunities are limited. One-time revenues resulting from Developer Impact Fees in Scenario B are expected to be $4.3 million at build out of each phase, assuming development occurs evenly over the 20-year build out period. These revenues will constitute a significant revenue source to the City over the 20- year build out period, but they are one-time revenues that will be realized only as new development occurs.

Without question, it is important for the City of Palm Desert to consider the future growth and expansion of the community, and inclusion of areas in the Thousand Palms Community Council Planning District is a very appropriate and timely issue. However, the staff report seems to imply that Palm Desert would have options not available to the City of Cathedral City. As you recall, the actions of Cathedral City were directed by LAFCO in response to a request to expand the city's Sphere of Influence (SOI) and eventually annex the vacant land between Rio Del Sal and our current eastern city boundary (Da Vall Road extended). It certainly seemed simple enough at the time; a simple exchange of property previously in the Rancho Mirage 501 into the Cathedral City SOI, with the support of Rancho Mirage. The Thousand Palms Community Council, Chamber of Commerce and several residents rose in protest claiming the expansion of Cathedral City to Rio Del Sol (completely vacant property) would inhibit their ability to incorporate. After it was determined Thousand Palms would not qualify to become an independent municipality, LAFCO emphatically directed Cathedral City to include the entirety of Thousand Palms (with the exception of the MSHCP) in the SOI expansion in response to a request by the Community Council and the residents to keep the community whole; rather than splitting it up into pieces resulting in more than one municipality carving out the lucrative portions of the community and leaving behind the lower revenue producing areas. Unhappy with the decision of LAFCO, the Berger Foundation, with valid reasons, appealed the decision of the LAFCO Board and the appeal was denied. Once again, the LAFCO Board strongly indicated the need to keep Thousand Palms whole. Failure to include the decisions of LAFCO in the staff report might give the City Council the impression that carving out the Berger Foundation and Xavier School would be permitted by LAFCO. Short of a double standard for one community versus another, this would not be consistent with the initial decision or the appeal denied by the Board. If LAFCO is so inclined, perhaps we should rethink our approach by seeking to annex only the high taxable or potentially high taxable areas. Another factor that probably needs to be reviewed is the proximity to disadvantaged communities. Should the LAFCO Board determine it is now appropriate to only annex a portion of Thousand Palms, you may need to revise your request to avoid being adjacent to any defined disadvantaged communities. That may be a difficult task in the Thousand Palms area according to some of our preliminary studies. Cathedral City and Palm Desert share an important and cordial relationship. It is critical that we continue to work together on important issues such as the eventual incorporation of Thousand Palms. Either Palm Desert or Cathedral City will likely be providing the municipal services to Thousand Palms at some point in the future. Whichever community is tasked with that responsibility, they should be given the best opportunity to succeed without the other municipality taking portions of the developable property that will provide the necessary revenues to provide the service. Therefore, if the Palm Desert City Council determines it is appropriate for the city to consider annexation of the entire Thousand Palms area, perhaps Cathedral City needs to discuss scaling back its current SOI so that you can provide effective services all the way to Rio Del Sol. The economic feasibility study clearly indicates that without the Classic Club area and the property of the Berger Foundation included in the annexation, providing municipal services to the area is not feasible. Again, thanks for the heads up and helping us work through this critical issue. Let me know if there are any questions I can answer for you.

April 10, 2013 ANNING EAUMONT ALIMESA Honorable Mayor Harnik and Council Members, ANYON LAKE OACHELLA The proposed annexation of the Thousand Palms community by Cathedral City E5ERT HOT SPRINGS concerns the Riverside County Fire Department for the following reasons: ASTVALE IDIAN WELLS • We not believe the proposed annexation will be supported by revenues as is IDIO suggested based on overly optimistic economic growth and the addition of new JRUPA VALLEY hotels in the community. • The Riverside County Fire Department operates an integrated, cooperative, AKE ELSINORE regional fire protection system that is strong due to the additive resources A QUINTA provided by the cities, county and the state. Annexation of the area by IENIFEE Cathedral City will seriously compromise the system, as follows: IORENO VALLEY o Resources: Riverside County Fire operates 6 fire stations with 6 engine ORCO companies, 1 ladder truck, 1 hazmat response team and 2 battalion chiefs in the immediate community area and a total of 24 fire stations ALM DESERT with 24 engine companies, 2 ladder trucks, 1 hazmat response team and ERRIS 5 battalion chiefs in the Coachella Valley. By contrast, Cathedral City ANCHO MIRAGE currently has 3 engines assigned to 3 fire stations and is not part of any UBIDOUXCSD regional response system. Today, Cathedral City relies on hazmat AN JACINTO response from Riverside County. o Staffing: By Board and City Council policies, the Riverside County Fire EMECULA Department staffs all engines with 3 firefighters and all ladder trucks /ILDOMAR with 4 firefighters. A confirmed fire 1" alarm response from the Riverside County Fire Department totals 20 firefighters and a Chief OARD OF Officer. Cathedral City currently staffs their fire engines with 2 UPERVISORS: firefighters making comparisons not equal. The current daily staffing for EVIN JEFFRIES Cathedral City is a total of 10 firefighters. This includes the 4 DISTRICT 1 firefighter/paramedics that staff the cities 2 ambulances. This is a OHN TAVAGLIONE DISTRICT 2 significant difference that cannot be dismissed. o Dispatching Services: Riverside County Fire dispatches all emergency =FF STONE DISTRICT resources from a central dispatch center at Perris and is able to support JHN BENOIT the regional response system with no need to relay response DISTRICT information to another agency to support a mutual aid response. This IARION ASHLEY significantly reduces delays in response. DISTRICT 511 o Regional System: All after action reports following major fires recommend regional response systems, not many independent entities. • Provision of emergency fire services for the Thousand Palms community by Cathedral City will seriously compromise response into the Cities of Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert and Indian Wells. lust the need to relay dispatch information to the Cathedral City dispatch center will delay responses to those communities currently protected by the Riverside County Fire Department. Additionally, the limited resources of Cathedral City will not support surge capacity needs during multiple alarms which are common. • As a follow up point to the aforementioned point, mutual aid cannot be used to supplement responses that are the responsibility of another agency. This will be the case if Thousand Palms is annexed by Cathedral City causing the Cities of Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert and Indian Wells to regularly support Cathedral City with responses into Thousand Palms. The Riverside County Fire Department does not agree with the annexation report developed by the Cathedral City consultant. The report does not fully explore the impacts of annexation nor propose all alternatives for fire and EMS. We urge the City Council to either seriously oppose the annexation of Thousand Palms by Cathedral City or consider annexing the same area. Either option will not compromise the integrated, cooperative, regional response system provided by the Riverside County Fire Department. Respectfully Submitted, John R.

It covers approximately 9,700 acres, with an estimated population of 7,715. This extended Sphere area was approved by the Riverside Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) in December 2011 and was supported by the Thousand Palms Community Council, the Thousand Palms Chamber of Commerce, and the boards of the two country clubs in the community. The City pursued its expanded SOI for planning purposes and to determine the City's direction for future expansion and fiscal stability. In February 2012, The City Council authorized Ralph Andersen & Associates (Consultant) to prepare a Fiscal Analysis and Plan for Services suitable for submittal to LAFCO should the City Council determine that it would be advantageous to pursue annexation of its Sphere area. John Goss, Senior Associate, serves as the consultant project manager. Mr. Goss reviewed existing documents, conducted interviews, and performed a series of field examinations. He then prepared an analysis of the information and calculated the fiscal feasibility of annexing the entirety of the City's SOL The findings are summarized below. The complete Fiscal Analysis and Plan for Services for the City of Cathedral City Sphere of Influence within the Unincorporated Community of Thousand Palms (Study) is attached. FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS The purpose of the Study is to provide a fiscal analysis of the potential annexation of the City's SOI, both at the initial year of annexation as well as at build out. It also includes a Plan for Services as required by Riverside LAFCO, which spells out how the demand for local services will be met when the annexed area is completely developed. To complete the Study, the Consultant examined a number of financial and policy documents from the City, the County, LAFCO, and several special districts that currently serve the Thousand Palms community. Interviews were conducted with City, County, LAFCO and various City Council Study Session Report March 27, 2013 Page 2 special district staff, well as with representatives of developers who have an interest in the Sphere area. Significant research was performed to identify the impacts the potential annexation may have on the City, surrounding local agencies and the Thousand Palms Community. The analysis assumed the future Berger Foundation and Messenger projects are closer to being development ready than the rest of the unincorporated Thousand Palms community. The Berger Foundation specific plan includes the area surrounding the Classic Club Golf Resort and the Messenger specific plan encompasses the area between the City's current eastern boundary and approximately Rio Del Sol Road. The Plan for Services (Study, Chapter IV) anticipates that there will be no change in most providers supplying local services to Thousand Palms. As shown on Table IV -A of the Report, utility services such as water, wastewater, flood control (Coachella Valley Water District), electricity (Imperial Irrigation District or Southern California Edison), natural gas (Southern California Gas Company), and garbage collection (Burrtec) will continue to provide their respective services if annexation occurs. Animal control services will continue to be provided by County Animal Control. Also, maintenance services, through a special assessment district, and recreation services will continue to be provided by the Desert Recreation District, with library services provided by the County Library System and schools operated by the Palm Springs Unified School District. It is anticipated that the provision of law enforcement services would, however, be transferred from the Riverside County Sheriff's Department to the Cathedral City Police Department. Street maintenance and street sweeping is also anticipated to be shifted from the County to the City, with the City providing these services at initial annexation through build out under this Plan. The Consultant noted that the provision of fire and emergency medical services (EMS) presented a more complex issue in developing the Plan of Services. The Study evaluated three options: (1) the City assumes fire/EMS services upon annexation; (2) the County through Cal Fire continues to provide services to Thousand Palms at Fire Station 35; and (3) the County supplies fire/EMS services to this area transitioning to City services a number of years later. Because of cost and operational considerations, the Study concludes that upon annexation the City should contract with the County (Cal Fire) for fire/EMS services (Option #2). Whether Option 3 can be implemented several years from now depends on the City and County resolving certain financial and operational issues outlined in the Study. In terms of financing the services, the Consultant evaluated operating revenues/expenditures during the initial year of annexation, as well as at five and ten years and at build out. Chapter II of the Study is devoted to the crucial initial year of annexation since the City has had recent financial challenges and Thousand Palms is not a high tax ratable area. The Study demonstrates that during the first year, assuming that fire Option #2 is selected, the City could provide services at or above the level of service currently being received by the Thousand Palms Community. The level of police service in terms of officers assigned to the Sphere area would be higher than what is presently being provided in that area. Because the f�, City Council Study Session Report March 27, 2013 Page 3 "developed" portion of Thousand Palms is physically separate from the "developed" part of Cathedral City and because Thousand Palms is several miles long, two police patrol beats would be required as part of the basic "police staff infrastructure" to serve this area during the first year of annexation. Street maintenance/street sweeping would be supported by "restricted" revenues such as gas tax and Measure A funds. This would permit the current level of service to continue to be provided to this area through a two -person City crew and by various maintenance contracts. FISCAL SUMMARY Anticipated expenditures needed to serve the Thousand Palms area at build out include, in current dollars, a budget of $8.7 million for police services, nearly $4.0 million for fire/EMS services, nearly $2.3 million for Administration and Community Services, $0.4 million for Animal Control, and $1.4 million for street maintenance. The General Fund operating budget totals $15.4 million, increasing to $16.9 million when street maintenance services funded by "restricted" revenues are included (see Table III-D). The projected development at build out as provided by the approved Berger Foundation specific plan, the proposed Messenger project specific plan, and the County General Plan for all other areas, is estimated to generate at least $32.0 million in building development fees for various capital improvements, for both the annexed area as well as in the rest of Cathedral City. Another estimated $29.0 million would be obtained from the City's Development Impact Fees. The Study shows that during the first year expenditures are projected to exceed revenues by $61,289 (see Table II-F). However, a revenue/expenditure balance can be achieved by delaying the hiring of the second Police Sergeant for a short period of time. Nonetheless, the expenditures for serving this area are barely balanced by estimated revenues. Thereafter, as shown in Table III-C, the financial ability of the City to provide service to Thousand Palms improves significantly. As discussed in Chapter III, within five years (2017-18) there is a projected surplus in current dollars of $1,196,045 and after 10 years the surplus would grow to $2,656,259. By build out (projected to occur in 30 years but could potentially be longer), the projected surplus is estimated at $9,311,035. There are several reasons for this increased surplus, including the immediate plans for the construction of a hotel near the 1-10/Bob Hope Interchange that will produce new Transient Occupancy Tax income, followed by another, larger hotel in that same area. A resort hotel is later planned near the Classic Club Golf Course, followed by four travel hotels projected near two new 1-10 interchanges that are planned to be constructed in the 2020s and 2030s. Further, major retail is expected to be added in several locations, particularly one that is part of an approved specific plan next to the Classic Club hotel, as well as other areas in Thousand Palms. POTENTIAL OUTCOME Chapter II outlines the potential advantages and disadvantages to both the Thousand Palms community and to Cathedral City should annexation occur. Adding undeveloped areas with excellent future freeway access will expand the City's financial base and create a more fiscally stable City in the long term, particularly as the unincorporated area develops. The Study found that, initially annexation would enable the City to develop and preserve a basic police staff infrastructure that could serve the annexed area while providing it with an improved level of City Council Study Session Report March 27, 2013 Page 4 service. It would also enable the Police Department to stabilize its staffing and service structure for both the existing city and the Thousand Palms area. Future revenues as the annexed area develops would also permit fire service to improve in this area while also improving the overall staffing and equipment infrastructure for the Fire Department. The annexation will not reduce services, or the ability to provide these services to the City's existing jurisdictional boundaries. The revenue/expenditure balance does initially appear to be negative, although it likely could be a "wash" or slight surplus if the City contracts with Cal Fire for fire/EMS service, and if police staffing is slightly adjusted during the first year of annexation. Chapter III of the Study further explains how annexation could be a financial benefit to the City. There are a number of advantages to Thousand Palms community should the Cathedral City annexation occur. Some of these include improved police patrol with two police patrol beats rather than the current one police beat, as well as the opportunity to provide public access to a police service office in the Thousand Palms community. Once increased revenue from new development occurs, fire service could also be improved to meet the national "2 in, 2 out" standard for structural fires, regardless of whether the service is provided by City Fire or Cal Fire. Access to City hall would be more convenient than to County offices in Riverside, thereby providing residents more opportunity to attend meetings, serve on advisory boards, and access land use and permitting information. There would be more opportunity for residents to run for local elective office as there are five council positions whereas there is only one supervisor position. Possible disadvantages include an increase in the sales and use tax by $0.1 until 2015 and an extension of the City's Utilities User's Tax to Thousand Palms. There may, however, be County assessments that would offset this. NExT STEPS Without reservation, staff will proceed with the steps necessary for submittal of an annexation application to LAFCO. This entails establishing zoning designations for all lands within the potential annexation area through a pre -zoning process. The Riverside County -approved specific plan zones will be retained for the Berger properties, and the zones that are established through the City's current specific plan process for the Messenger properties will also be retained. Current County zoning designations for the remainder properties within the Sphere area will be retained by establishing parallel City zoning designations. A recommendation of approval by the Planning Commission and a pre -zoning approval by the Council is required. If it desired that the annexation process proceed at that time, the Council could adopt a resolution to that affect and notice to all interested agencies would be given. The resolution and pre - zoning, combined with an annexation application and associated fee of $13,800 would then be submitted to LAFCO. Chapter 5 of the Study outlines the complete annexation process. Ongoing communications between the City and the Thousand Palms community continue through participation in regularly -scheduled Community Council meetings, as well as communication with the County Supervisor's office and property owners. Increased communications with Cathedral City residents would commence with the annexation process.

This fiscal analysis and Plan for Services is designed to assist the City Council in deciding whether or not to initiate the an- nexation of this unincorporated area, generally known as the community of Thousand Palms. The fiscal analysis identifies the financial impact any potential annexation will have on projected revenues and expenditures required to serve this area, both in the short term and at build out. The Plan for Ser- vices is a requirement of Riverside County's Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO). It spells out how various local services will be provided to the Thousand Palms community, whether the current ser- vice level now received will be maintained or exceeded, how these services will be financed, and whether or not the area's infrastructure requirements will be adequately met. Together, the fiscal analysis and Plan for Services will provide the necessary documentation for the City to submit an annexation applica- tion to LAFCO, if that is the decision and direction of the City Council. Background By way of general background, Cathedral City extended its incorporated area north of the 1-10 freeway several years ago. With the most recent annexation, the City adopted the North City Specific Plan which is a comprehensive planning tool to guide development in this area. The initial expansion of the SOI into the unincorporated Thousand Palms area (east of the City's jurisdic- tional boundary north of 1-10) resulted in the City's Sphere extending to Rio del Sol Road. The second and most recent Sphere expansion took in the remainder of the unincorporated Thousand Palms com- munity except for the majority of the Thousand Palms area that is covered by the Multiple Species Habi- tat Conservation Plan and an area already covered by the Palm Desert Sphere. Physically, as can be seen on the following map on Exhibit A, Thousand Palms is a mostly linear commu- nity along the northeasterly edge of the 1-10 freeway from the easterly City limits to just west of Washing- ton Street. It consists of over approximately 9,700 acres, with an estimated population of 7,715' and is the complete area being evaluated as part of this study. Thousand Palms is an unincorporated, partially inhabited area, with a substantial amount of vacant land. As indicated on the map shown on Exhibit A, it is bounded on the southwest by the 1-10 freeway, the City of Cathedral City to the northwest, the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Area on the northeast, and the Palm Desert Sphere of Influence (SOI) to the southeast. Generally, the Thousand Palms community features mostly residential development in the vicinity of the I- 10 freeway, Monterey Avenue and Ramon Road. There is also freeway commercial in this area, along with a business park development. This part of the community is served by an elementary school, com- munity center, library and park, as well as Fire Station 35. Northerly there is scattered, but important in- dustrial development, including nearby surface mining. Running south along Varner Road toward "Palm Desert" Sun City are additional pockets of residential development, along with the Classic Club Golf Facil- ity and the private Xavier High School.

C City of Cathedral Ciij, On December 8, 2010, as part of the City's latest expansion of its SOI, the City Council gave direction to submit an application to expand the City's SOI to include the remainder of the Thousand Palms communi- ty from Rio del Sol Road to just west of Washington Street. The unincorporated area from Rio del Sol Road westerly to the Cathedral City limits was formally placed in Cathedral City's SOI by the Riverside County LAFCO in January 2012. This means that if the entire Cathedral City sphere area is ever annexed into a City, it can only be annexed into Cathedral City. It also means that this community is not a candi- date for incorporation as a city. While the City was interested primarily in annexing the area between Da Vail Drive extended and Rio del Sol Road, the entire sphere area is being assessed for potential annexa- tion because of the interest of the Thousand Palms community. General Information The City of Cathedral City was incorporated in 1981 in the heart of the Coachella Valley, located between the cities of Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, the City consists of 22.9 square miles serving a population of 50,9052, The City contains 17,047 households, with an average household size of 2.99. Because of this larger family size, more families live in this community compared to Palm Desert, as an example, which has an average household size of 2.08. Cathedral City is known as a community diverse in ethnicity, income and lifestyle, with white-collar and blue-collar workers, professionals and retirees claiming the City as their home. The Thousand Palms community would appear to reflect demographics more comparable to Cathedral City than some other valley cities. With 2,899 households and a population of 7,715, its average house- hold size at 2.66 is more comparable to Cathedral City than, for example, Palm Desert, which as just mentioned has an average household size of 2.08. Currently, this community is served by Riverside County, which provides both police and fire/emergency medical service, with water, sewer and drainage facilities maintained and operated by the Coachella Val- ley Water District. Electrical service is provided by the Imperial Irrigation District. The Desert Recreation District maintains and programs the community park and center; street lights and a major street median. County Library Services operates a branch library next to the community center. Public schools are ad- ministered by the Palm Springs Unified School District. Why Change the Status Quo? The cities along the 1-10 corridor, such as Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage and Palm Desert, have histori- cally focused on developing their cities southwesterly of the freeway. That changed, however, when Ca- thedral City modified its SOI and annexed additional areas northeasterly of the 1-10. Subject to the North City Specific Plan, which was adopted by the City Council, this area is located northeasterly of the 1-10 between Da Vail Drive and Palm Drive and has established General Plan and zoning designations for high density residential and commercial development. (See Exhibit A). Subsequently, Cathedral City requested an expansion of its SOI to include the entire Thousand Palms community. This proposal was supported by the City of Rancho Mirage based on a Memorandum of Un- derstanding (MOU) between the two cities. It was also supported by the Thousand Palms Community Council, the Thousand Palms Chamber of Commerce, and the boards of the two country clubs in the community. This support may have started based upon LAFCO's long standing position that Thousand Palms does not have the resources to incorporate as a separate city. That created a concern among those living or doing business in Thousand Palms that the governance of the community would be fractured or split by a partial annexation of their community on the north by Cathedral City, coupled with the concern that Palm Desert might attempt to annex the area to the south. In other words, the Thousand Palms community po- tentially could have been fractured with two or three entities governing portions of, and providing service to, their community (Riverside County, Cathedral City, and Palm Desert). Since the community cannot 2 2010 US Census I <'a " I r. 04v of Cntfiedra/ City incorporate as a city, an opinion was expressed that the best option for retaining Thousand Palms' com- munity identity and providing unified governance is annexation into Cathedral City. Further, the City can provide a level of regulation which may be viewed as positive by the community and which some cases is beyond that provided by the County. In addition, while current service to Thousand Palms appears satisfactory, and efforts to maintain excel- lent communication links between the public and the County have been demonstrated, there could be more direct input from residents in this community related to local services. Location of a City Police De- partment Office at Fire Station 35, or in a community building planned near Bob Hope Drive and 1-10, should improve local access to law enforcement. Having a larger role voting in Mayor and City Council races as opposed to voting for only one member of the County Board of Supervisors, should allow more direct involvement in local government by Thousand Palms residents. In any event, the City may still want to maintain the current Community Council if annexation does occur since this appears to be an excellent means of receiving input from, and supplying information to, the community. In early 2012, the City of Palm Desert authorized a fiscal analysis report with a rapid turnaround to deter- mine if it was economically feasible for them to consider annexation of two different areas northeast of the City. The first area included the "Palm Desert" Sun City community, which is in the Palm Desert SOL The second area included the first area plus land extending northwesterly along the 1-10 corridor into Cathe- dral City's existing SOL Obviously this expanded area could not be annexed into Palm Desert without an adjustment between the city's two spheres, which would require approval by the Riverside County LAFCO. In any event, the study found that expenditures would exceed revenues for both areas, both in the near term and at build out. As a result, there does not appear to be a current interest by the City of Palm De- sert to either annex Palm Desert Sun City or seek to shrink Cathedral's Sphere in order to expand the Palm Desert SOI. This issue, however, could be revisited in the future by the Palm Desert City Council. In addition, another reason for Cathedral City to consider the annexation of Thousand Palms is to ensure the City's fiscal stability. It is projected that there will be substantial growth in the Coachella Valley in the long term. With several valley communities nearly built out within their current city boundaries, and with little or no room to expand, cities with more developable acreage could become more economically sus- tainable over time. With traveler commercial and hotels plus business park land uses mostly focused at freeway interchanges, the future development of interchanges at Portola (early 2020s) and Da Vall Drive (early 2030s), could produce important local tax revenues if these areas became part of the City. Also, there are plans for significant high -end residential development along with commercial development and a resort hotel in the Classic Club area which could generate substantial long-term revenue for the local government providing service to this area. If such an annexation proved beneficial to Cathedral City in the long term, there would be a correspond- ing benefit to the service levels provided to Thousand Palms, since the City should be financially stronger over time. Whether or not these economic assumptions or projections has merit, will be the subject of this analysis. Methodology The methodology of this study included reviewing documents and data supplied by the City of Cathedral City, Riverside County, the Coachella Valley Water District, the Desert Recreation District, landowners with development proposals and/or approvals, LAFCO staff, and residents of the Thousand Palms com- munity. This included financial, operational, land use, and procedural information. Interviews were con- ducted with the Cathedral City City Manager, Administrative Services Director, Community Development Director, Planning Director, Police Chief, former and current Fire Chiefs, Public Works Manager and Inter- im City Engineer, along with the LAFCO Executive Officer, and the Cal Fire Assistant Chief. In addition, interviews were conducted with developer consultants to obtain information regarding the land use plans of the Berger Foundation in the Classic Club area as well as plans by developers near the in- terchange at the 1-10 and Bob Hope Drive/Rio del Sol Road. A meeting was held with representatives of the Coachella Valley Water District to learn about utility ser- vices to this area. Current zoning designations for the City's sphere were obtained from County Planning. 4 Cite elf Catliedral Citil Information was also provided by the County Executive Office, County Surveyor, County Auditor, Regis- trar of Voters, County Library Services, and County Animal Control. In order to more accurately assess the condition of the streets and roads of the Thousand Palms commu- nity, three volunteer graduate students from California State University, San Bernardino conducted a "windshield survey" of these streets under the guidance of the Interim City Engineer, Public Works Man- ager and the consultant. Detailed data regarding these streets were obtained from Riverside County. Attendance at a meeting of the Thousand Palms Community Council took place, and a tour of Fire Station 35 was provided by a Cal Fire Battalion Chief. The methodology for projecting current and future revenues and expenditures as part of the fiscal analy- sis in this report is based upon information provided by the City and other agencies, as well as examining the legal constraints on city revenues. Upon the advice of LAFCO staff, Riverside County's "Guidelines to Preparing Fiscal Impact Reports," was not used as a guide for this report since apparently the guide was prepared some years ago and has not been updated. Instead, elements of the general framework of the consultant's copyrighted Fiscal Impact of New Development (FIND Model) and actual reve- nue/expenditure analysis was used in projecting the fiscal impact of this possible annexation at build -out. LAFCO staff indicated that their interest in the annexation is more in determining the financial and service impacts on other agencies as well as the continuation of the current service levels to the area proposed to be annexed. The City, of course, is interested in the fiscal impact of any prospective annexation on Ca- thedral City. Even though every effort has been made to obtain the most accurate and precise information possible, the estimated revenues and expenditures in this report are just that: estimates. They are calculated based on information supplied by either City staff or other local agencies which serve the area. These are not precise figures that guarantee actual revenues or expenditures which will be received or expended should the potential annexation occur. 13 51Page City of Cafhelra! City Chapter II Fiscal Analysis — Initial Annexation The fiscal analysis contained in this Chapter presents the projected initial year revenues and expendi- tures which would accrue to Cathedral City, if the Thousand Palms community were annexed to the City. Unless otherwise noted, these estimates are based on the City's actual revenues, with expenditures based on the City's 2012-13 budget. This provides the most current "actual revenues," and the most the most "realistic" expenditure base, as a result of the City's recent reduction in its expenditure plan. Also discussed are one-time revenues which occur as a result of development. These one-time revenues may accrue during the initial year of annexation, or later on as new development occurs. This section is applicable to the analysis in this chapter as well as the following chapter which presents the fiscal analy- sis of this potential annexation at build out. The fiscal analysis of the potential annexation is presented for the initial year of annexation in order that the City will learn the immediate impact the annexation will have on the City and the affected unincorpo- rated area. In Chapter III projected scenarios will be presented beyond the initial year until build out. These projections are more uncertain since the timing of development and the recovery of the economy are only educated guesses. Revenues — Introduction The projected revenues are presented in four categories: 1. Income that will accrue to the City's General Fund; 2. Other municipal revenue; 3. Restricted income such as street and road revenue; and 4. One-time revenues. The General Fund revenues will include reallocation of property taxes per the Master Property Tax Agreement with Riverside County, the shift of sales tax revenue to the City as well as other taxes and fees that would apply to this area. It should be noted that there are certain revenues which are not currently collected in Thousand Palms by the County. These taxes, such as the Utilities Users Tax (UUT) and the City's limited -termed Transaction and Use Tax (TUT), would be extended to this unincorporated area and are, therefore, included in the immediate revenue projections contained in this report. The TUT, however, is not included in any revenue projections past its current termination date in 2015. It should be further noted that as a result of recent State action, City revenues have been shrinking. A long-term revenue — Motor Vehicle in Lieu Tax — is now projected as producing zero revenue to the City, both in its developed areas and in any areas that might be annexed to Cathedral City. For long-term revenue projections, it is assumed that existing and traditional revenue sources which are currently funded will remain in place. It is impossible at this time to project which additional municipal rev- enue sources will be pilfered by the State. In connection with expenditures, the immediate term projections will be presented based on estimated actual costs to provide service. For example, just because the City's population based on the 2010 Cen- sus would increase by an estimated 15% upon annexation of the entire Sphere area, certain basic costs of city government such as administration, city clerk, administrative services, planning, and other man- agement and support services should not increase by a like amount and should remain unchanged. In other words, the current staffing and expense related to management and support services should be sufficient to support the addition of the Thousand Palms area. Cite• of Cathed)-al City On the other hand, police and fire/EMS service staffing expense will increase to serve Thousand Palms. These cost increases will be projected and included in the near term expense estimate. Much like devel- oping the biennial city budget, actual projected revenues and expenses will be used to determine the fis- cal impact of this proposed annexation. Revenues — Near Term (First Year) Projections This section presents revenues that will be received by the City as a result of the possible annexation of its unincorporated Sphere of Influence otherwise known as the Thousand Palms area. This section fo- cuses on current and near term revenue projections, with longer term projections presented in the follow- ing chapter. As discussed previously, these revenues are presented in the following categories: General Fund Revenues; Other Revenues; 3. Restricted Revenues; and 4. One-time Revenues. General Fund Revenues Property Tax Revenue A one percent tax is applied to the value of real property is collected by Riverside County and is appor- tioned to various agencies such as school districts, special districts, cities, and the County. When annexa- tion of unincorporated property occurs, the affected city receives its share of the property tax revenue for this annexed area. The Master Property Tax Agreement between Riverside County and the Cathedral City governs the shar- ing of property tax when an area is annexed. The specific agreement between the County and Cathedral City provides that the general tax levy will be allocated as follows based on the property tax revenue re- ceived by the County: the City receives 25% and the County receives 75%. This split appears to have been established about 29 years ago, and was agreed to by the City approximately 23 years ago. Since this formula may be out of date, it is unknown whether or not this apportionment of property tax revenue could be or should be renegotiated. In any event, this division of property tax income is net of the contribution to the Education Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF), the County's administrative charge for collecting the property tax; and tax exempt properties owned by other governmental agencies, such as Cal Trans, the Coachella Valley Wa- ter District, the Desert Recreation District, the Palm Springs Unified School District, and the County, and tax exempt properties owned by charitable organizations. This latter category includes, for example, 90.4 acres owned by Xavier High School and 245.3 acres owned by the Berger Foundation. The property tax revenue presented in this revenue category does not include the Structural Fire Property Tax, which is calculated separately. The County Auditor calculated the property tax revenue that would be received by the City if Thousand Palms were detached and annexed to Cathedral City. This estimate was based on a legal description of the area provided by LAFCO. The estimated property tax revenue calculated by the County Auditor is $817,000.3 There does not appear to be much new development occurring in Thousand Palms, so in the first year it is assumed that increases in property tax revenue will be minimal. However, current preparation for de- 3 Email from Chief Accountant, Property Tax Division, Riverside County Auditor -Controller, dated June 19, 2012 fi�g'lan (airy of Cathedral City. velopment activity in the northeast quadrant of the 1-10/Bob Hope Drive interchange could lead to some residential and commercial development in the near term. Property Transfer Tax When new property is sold, or more likely in Thousand Palms when an existing property is resold, a prop- erty transfer tax of $1.10 per $1,000 of transferred value is levied on the sale of real property. The result- ing revenue is then split between the City and Riverside County, with each obtaining $.55 of the trans- ferred value. Actual Property Transfer Tax received by the City in 2008-09 was $121,282, increasing to $137,770 in 2009-10. It declined to $108,217 in 2010-11. Assuming approximately the same level of property sales in the Thousand Palms area as in Cathedral City, it is estimated that the additional Property Transfer Tax revenue from this annexed area in proportion to the actual income received by Cathedral City in 2010-11 will be $16,406 (7,715/50,905 = .1516 x $108,217). If the 2012-13 estimate for this revenue source is accurate, then the revenue from this tax would be $22,740. However, to be conservative in making financial projections, a figure based on the actual reve- nue received in 2010-11 is used for this projection. Structural Fire Tax The City receives a Structural Fire Tax which must be used for the provision of fire suppression and pre- vention services. In 2010-11 the City received $470,237 from this source. The tax is based on 5.87% of the one -percent property tax collected in an area. Based on calculations by the County Auditor ,4 it is estimated that during the first year of annexation Structural Fire Tax revenue would be $341,000. Note: This tax normally would be considered a "restricted revenue." However, it is included in this section to achieve consistency with the presentation of this tax in the City's biennial budget. As a practical matter, the revenue from this tax partially supports the Fire Department's budget which is a major part of general City operations and which is otherwise supported by the City's General Fund. If upon the initial annexa- tion, the City contracted with the Riverside County Fire Department (Cal Fire) to provide fire/EMS service to the annexed area, this revenue would be used to partially fund that contract. LAFCO staff advises after consulting with County Auditor staff, that, while the exact history of the struc- tural fire tax in Cathedral City is not entirely clear, it is likely the tax was transferred to the City around 1990 when the County changed the way it contracted out fire service, and the City began providing fire service directly instead of the County. Apparently, subsequent annexations incorrectly assumed that the master property tax agreements included the structural fire tax, even though the tax is not mentioned in these agreements. In any event, it would be prudent to update the master property tax agreement be- tween the County and Cathedral City to reference the structural fire tax. Property Tax In -lieu Vehicle License Fee Instead of the City receiving property tax revenue from vehicles, it is reimbursed from a portion of the mo- tor vehicle license fee. Unfortunately, this revenue source was permanently reduced by the State by near- ly two-thirds in 2004. Still, the City received $3,469,471 from this source in 2010-11. Assuming that the in -lieu VLF will increase in proportion to the increase in population upon annexation, it is estimated that during the first year of annexation this revenue source would produce $525,972 (7,715/50,905 = .1516 x $3,469,471). Motor Vehicle In -lieu Fee The regular Motor Vehicle in -lieu fee produced $241,108 for the City in 2010-11. However, this revenue source has been usurped by the State, with the result that the City will not receive any revenue from this 4 Email from Chief Accountant, Property Tax Division, Riverside County Auditor -Controller, dated June 19, 2012 8 1 Par; e Ci1v of Catliecfral City source on an on -going basis. Therefore, the projected revenue from this source due to annexation will be: $0. Sales Tax Without recounting the complexities of the "triple flip" caused by state legislation, the current sales and use tax rate in Riverside County is 8.0%. The rate is allocated as follows: • State General Fund 3.9375% • State Education Fund (Prop. 30) .25% • State Fiscal Recovery Fund .25% • State Local Revenue Fund (1991) .50% • State Local Revenue Fund (2011) 1.0625 • State Local Public Safety Fund .50% • City/County Local Tax 1.00% • Riverside Co. Transportation Commission (Measure A) 50% • Total Rate 8.00%5 This is a major revenue source for Cathedral City. The City received $4,929,695 in sales tax income in 2010-11, which is a significant reduction compared to the past several fiscal years due to the downturn in the economy. This estimate assumes that the Thousand Palms sales tax generators are somewhat com- parable to those in Cathedral City, after the car dealerships are eliminated from the retail mix. Assuming the dealerships produce approximately one-third of the City's sales tax revenue, the remaining two-thirds of the City's sales tax is projected on a per capita basis for Thousand Palms. It is estimated that Thou- sand Palms would initially produce $498,477 in sales tax ($4,929,695 x .667 x .1516). This formula uses the City's sales tax income, times two-thirds, times the increase in population as a result of the potential annexation of Thousand Palms. Sales Tax Comp Fund (Property Tax in lieu of Sales Tax) This is revenue received by the City as part of the State's 2004 "triple flip," where 25% of the City portion of sales tax revenue was withheld, only to be backfilled the same amount from property taxes previously allocated to schools. The amount received by the City in 2010-11 from this source was $1,642,658. As- suming that a proportionate amount of this revenue would be produced from Thousand Palms, but again discounting income from the car dealers, then the projected annual income from this source would be $166,101 ($1,642,658 x .667 x .1516). Transactions and Use Tax (TUT) In Cathedral City, Measure H was adopted by the electorate in June 2010 which established a 1 % trans- action and use tax on City retailers. The revenue can be used for any general city purpose. The tax, how- ever, expires after five years unless extended by the voters. Again, assuming this amount would be col- lected in Thousand Palms at the same level as in Cathedral City, discounting income to the existing City from the car dealerships, income from the TUT would be $297,346 ($2,940,612 x .667 x .1516). However, as currently authorized, this income would cease in September 2015. Accordingly, while this revenue source is included as income during the first year of projected annexation: it is not projected past 2015 to the community's build out. One impact of this short term TUT is that it would temporarily increase the sales and use tax in Thousand Palms. Currently, the sales tax rate is 8.00% in this community, and it would increase to 9.00% until Sep- tember 2015. Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) 5 City of Cathedral Adopted 2012-2013 Budget, p. 27, with .25% added due to Proposition 30. 9 1 Page City of C'atlaedral City Effective January 1, 2007, the City's Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) was established at 12% of the rent charge for staying at a hotel, inn, or motel. There is one lodging facility in the Thousand Palms communi- ty, the Red Roof Inn at 72215 Varner Road. This Inn has 116 rooms and its average room rate appears to be approximately $70 per night. Assuming an occupancy rate of 65%, it is estimated that the TOT income produced from this Inn is an estimated $235,000 (rounded). In the future, both tourist and resort hotels are planned to be constructed in this unincorporated area, and accordingly TOT income should become a much more substantial revenue source over the near and long term. Time Shares The City also receives a small amount of revenue when applying the 12% TOT to timeshares (non -owner stays). It is difficult to provide an estimate for this revenue source for the unincorporated Sphere area. For the purposes of this report it is estimated that $0 will be produced upon annexation. This revenue source will increase overtime, however, since the Berger Foundation Plan includes 216 time share units as part of their approved Specific Plan. Utility Users Tax Cathedral City adopted a Utility Users Tax (UUT) in 2008. The rate of 3% is applied on the use of tele- communications, cable, electricity, gas, and solid waste. Assuming roughly the same level of utility usage in the Thousand Palms community, it is estimated that additional income of $419,325 (2,765,996 x .1516) would be achieved if annexation of this area occurred. Franchise Fees The City also receives franchise fees from the various utilities for the use of City streets and other rights - of -way. Gas and electric franchise fees are 2% and cable franchise fees are 5% of gross receipts. The solid waste hauler is charged 12% of gross receipts, while the transportation and towing franchise fees are minimal. The actual franchise fees received by the City in 2010-11 were $1,850,657. It is expected that the gross receipts of these service providers will increase in proportion to the increase in population served if an- nexation occurred. As a result, it is projected that the franchise fee income from the Thousand Palms community would be $280,560 ($1,850,657 x .1516). Permit and Regulatory Fees Additional income will be produced from various permit and regulatory fees such as planning and zoning fees, engineering fees, building permit fees, other processing fees, and code enforcement fees. These revenues, however, basically only cover staff expenses necessary to provide the processing of various permit applications or enforcement of code violations. The revenues received and the resulting expendi- tures basically should be a "wash." As a result, this report does not project any income from these reve- nue sources, or any additional offsetting expenditures, for processing various permit applications, or for code enforcement. Business Licenses The City requires business licenses for all establishments conducting business within the City limits. They are renewed annually. The license fees are based on gross sales and the type of business being con- ducted. Based on actual 2010-11 income of $420,510, and assuming a similar amount of business activi- ty in the potential area to be annexed, the additional revenue from this area is estimated at $63,750 ($420,510 x .1516). Fines and Forfeitures Fines and forfeitures reflect income generated by motor vehicle and Municipal Code fines, and other mis- cellaneous fines and forfeitures. It is estimated that the City's actual income from this source will be $352,766 for 2011-126. Assuming that the Thousand Palms community would proportionately generate 6 March 8, 2012 email from Administrative Services Director. 10(Pa."e City of (.a[hetlral Cite about the same quantity of fines and forfeitures as Cathedral City, it is estimated that $53,480 ($352:766 x .1516) would be produced from this revenue source. Charge for Services In the City's 2011-12 budget, $3,131,112 is identified as income from charges for various services provid- ed by the City. Many of these charges would not apply to Thousand Palms as net new revenues to Ca- thedral City, since they are either charges which have offsetting expenditures such as plan check fees, or involve the cost of police dispatch services provided under contract to the City of Desert Hot Springs. There are some charges, however, which would apply to Thousand Palms, such as paramedic services, code abatement, vehicle impounds, purchase of police reports, and fire inspections. These services brought in $1,363,281 to City coffers in 2010-11. Assuming that the level of paramedic service, police re- ports purchased, and fire inspections will increase in proportion to the additional population served in Thousand Palms, the additional income from this revenue source is estimated to be $206,673 ($1,363,281 x .1516). It should be noted, however, that if in the initial year or years after annexation the City contracts with Cal Fire for fire/EMS services, with the County providing ambulance service, this revenue category will be reduced by $180,869 to reflect the absence of ambulance income. Under this scenario, the total income from Charge for Services would be $25,805. Intergovernmental Revenue Most of the revenue in this category is not applicable to the potential area to be annexed. This is because most of this income was from the City's Redevelopment Agency which no longer exists. As a result, the projection for Thousand Palms for this revenue category is: $0. Other Municipal Revenues Other municipal revenues received by Cathedral City are discussed in this section. Special Assessments The City includes $3,115,214 in the 2011-12 budget for Special Assessment revenue, which includes special assessment districts such as landscape and lighting districts. It is not expected that there would be any special assessments accruing to the City from this area. Therefore, the estimated revenue from this source is estimated at: $0. Use of Money and Property It is not anticipated that there will be an increase in the City's investment income based on the annexation of land in their SOL However, there could be some limited income as a result of sign sales and aban- doned property. As a result, the revenue from this source is estimated at $5,000. Recreation Programs The City does not provide 'fee based' recreation programs, although in 2010-11 the City received $5,000 in Soccer Park income. Any other fees for use of the park and community in Thousand Palms should con- tinue to accrue to the Desert Recreation District, since the District is best able to provide services to this area. Therefore, revenue for recreation programs is projected at: $0. Restricted Revenue Gas Tax Funds Cities and counties receive a portion of the tax imposed on the purchase of gasoline. Revenues from gas taxes are deposited into the Highway Users Tax Account in the State's Transportation Tax Fund. These funds are then apportioned to cities and counties by the State Controller. The distribution of this revenue 1 " 1 qg� City of Cathedral Q is governed in large part by Streets and Highways Code Sections 2103 — 2107, Only counties benefit from Section 2104 and only cities benefit from Section 2107. If the Thousand Palms community were annexed, gas tax funds received by Riverside County, except for Section 2104 funds, would shift to the City. Plus, Cathedral City would receive Section 2107 funds for this area. The revenue expected to be received by the City for Fiscal Year 2011 is $1,365,380.' While some sec- tions of the Streets and Highways Code allocated gas tax funds by population and street miles, it is as- sumed for the purposes of this report that the revenue from this source will be in proportion to the in- crease in population as a result of the potential annexation of Thousand Palms. Using this method, the gas tax funds for this unincorporated area are projected to be $206,992 ($1,365,380 x .1516). Measure A From the County's 8.00% sales tax, .50% flows to the Measure A Fund for regional and local transporta- tion projects. With these funds distributed by region, 24% of this money is distributed to the Coachella Valley area. These funds are further distributed with 50% devoted to State highway and regional road projects, 35% for local streets and roads, and 15% for transit, such as Sunline Transit. It is further distrib- uted to cities based on equivalent dwelling units (EDUs) (50%) and taxable sales (50%). Based on this formula, Cathedral City should receive $998,000. This is 11.6% of the net funds available for distribution. Assuming that the annexed area would receive a proportionate amount of this revenue source based on its population, it is projected that $151,297 ($998,000 x .1516) will be received from Measure A. This pro- jection is based on balancing the two variables which determine the amount of this revenue. It is assumed that Thousand Palms proportion of EDUs is slightly larger than Cathedral City because of its slightly smaller average household size, but that Thousand Palms has lower sales tax per capita. Total Restricted Road Revenues The amount of restricted road revenues produced in Thousand Palms initially will be an estimated $358,289. This data is summarized in Table II -A, entitled, "Projected First Year Restricted Road Reve- nues." Revenue Summary The total General Fund, other municipal revenues, and restricted funds are summarized in Table II-B, titled, "Projected First Year General Fund, Other Municipal Revenues and Restricted Revenues." This information is useful in projecting the first year impact of the potential annexation of the Thousand Palms area, and to assist the City Council in assessing, along with projected first year expenditures, the imme- diate fiscal impact of annexing this area.

Therefore, neither the revenues nor expenditures from this activity are presented in this analysis. 9 If the City decides initially to contract with Cal Fire for fire/EMS service, this revenue source will be re- duced to $25,805, since the City will not receive income from its ambulance operations. This would re- duce the total available for City operations to $3,745,221 and the total tax revenue produced by Thou- sand Palms to $4,103,510. 10 Projection included in the General Fund revenue summary. 13 , Pa�ac' _. h ...__,. u._... _ ..� _..._�. �.. ... City c?f Caffredra! t; One -Time Revenues As explained earlier in this chapter, the City will receive one-time revenues as the result of new develop- ment when an applicant seeks an entitlement or permit for land development and for the construction of residential, commercial, or industrial property. These revenues are in the form of building development fees and development impact fees. These revenues, of course, are not included in the on -going revenue projections, which support on -going municipal services.. because they are restricted and only occur one- time. They are restricted in that they can only be used for a specific purpose as authorized by City Coun- cil resolution or ordinance, based on state law. These fees, or sometimes in the case of parks and land dedication, are usually collected when the building permit or other entitlement permit is issued. This section is presented at this point in the report since these one-time revenues can occur during the initial year of annexation, and during the period of time required to build out this unincorporated area. Many of the Building Department fees are collected to offset the City's processing costs, such as fees for plan checks, microfiche; building permits, grading permits, and permit issuance. Generally, these fees are offset by the cost of processing these permits. Other building fees are for specific purposes such as fees for police, fire, facilities, and signalization, the master undergrounding plan, transit development fee, park fees, art in public places, and maintenance of the General Plan. These fees which accrue to Cathedral City and how they are determined are listed in Table II-C. Excluded from this list are fees which are collected by the City on behalf of other agencies such as sup- port for the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan ($5,730/acre for commercial and industrial development), the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) collected on behalf of the Coachella Valley Association of Governments, and the Strong Motion Instrumentation Program which is a tax imposed by the State of California. Listed below in the following Table are the City's building development fees, including a brief description and a summary of how each fee is calculated. DevelopmentTable II-C Building Cathedral Fee Description Fee Calculation Police, Fire, Facilities, and Si nalization $150/1,000 square feet or fraction thereof of all development Master Under roundin Fee $.15 per square foot of roofed area for all development Transit Development Fee $5.00/linear foot of frontage on major arterials Park Fees Number of dwelling units (DU) x avg. # of persons per DU x 3 acres per 1,000 residents x land cost per acre = total fee' Art in Public Places 1 % of 90% of building valuation for buildings over 15,000 s . ft. City Facility Impact Fees $1,851/residential unit; varies per acre for commercial/industrial The park fees are based on California Government Code Section 66477 (Quimby Act). Under this Act the City is authorized to require either the dedication of parkland or the payment of fees in -lieu of such dedi- cation, or a combination of both, for every residential land subdivision. These fees are paid into the City's Park Acquisition and Development Fund which can be used only for the purpose of acquiring, building, improving, expanding, and/or developing city parks. These fees are separate from Park Development Im- pact Fees listed in Table II-D presented below. In addition, the City collects development impact fees, usually at some step during the entitlement pro- cess, such as when a subdivision is recorded or a building permit is issued. These fees are authorized in accordance with Government Code et. seq. (1987). The development impact fees can only be used for the purpose for which they are collected under state law and the City ordinance authorizing these fees. Also, for certain required public improvements, a de- veloper can obtain fee credits by building a park, for example, in advance of its normal development schedule. " For the purposes of Quimby Act or park in -lieu fees the City currently uses the average number of per- sons per DU of 3.03. r 4 City or Cathedra! Ci t :v Cathedral City has two sets of development impact fees, one for the existing developed City, and the oth- er to support the North City Plan. Since North City is mostly vacant land, some of the fees are substantial- ly higher than for the rest of the City since basic infrastructure such as roads and bridges need to be con- structed in this area. For the purposes of this analysis, and since Thousand Palms has most of its basic infrastructure installed, the fees charged in the developed portion of the City are used in projecting devel- opment costs in this community. They are presented in Table II-D, entitled, "Development Impact Fees — Cathedral City". II-D DevelopmentTable .. Residential Retail Commercial Non -Retail Commer- Facility ($/Unit) ($/Acre ) cial Industrial $/Acre City Yard(Vehicle Storage) $95 $587 $454 Police Community Center $21 $132 $102 Public Safety Training Site $18 $110 $85 Interchange an Bridges $86 $4,145 $1,500 Unpaved Trails $53 $173 $134 Parks, Community Center, Pools $1,577 $5,141 $3,973 Again, these impact fees will be collected at subdivision recordation or building permit issuance, and can only be used for meeting the facility needs caused by future growth. These fees are established based on the policy that "growth should pay for itself" and not be subsidized by the existing property and business owners in the City. When the fees are received, they are placed in separate funds and not comingled with other city general fund or restricted revenues. Further, the funds are normally budgeted and spent on public works projects administered by the City. However, funds collected for interchange and bridge improvements are normally used for projects administered by the State or the local Council of Governments. Regarding development impact fees collected for parks and related improvements, and park fees collected as part of the building development fees, the City should coordinate with the Desert Recreation District in planning and spend- ing these revenues if the Thousand Palms area is annexed. This is because it is likely that the District will continue to provide, maintain and operate park improvements post -annexation. Expenditures — Near Term (First Year) Projections The purpose of this section is to present and evaluate the initial expenditures needed to provide services to the Thousand Palms area, if annexed into Cathedral City. It is assumed that the level of service will be the same or better than the area receives now and will be at least at the level provided to the rest of Ca- thedral City. The cost projections contained in this section are for the first year of annexation. This will allow the com- parison of these expenditures with the latest "actual" revenues discussed earlier in this Chapter. This comparison is designed to provide the City Council the data needed to assess the initial financial feasibil- ity of pursuing this potential annexation. This cost information will also be the basis for projecting long- range expense in providing service to this area at build out, which is information LAFCO requires to be included in the Plan of Services for this area. This latter information is presented in Chapter III of this re- port. The first -year expense projections are not necessarily based on a cost formula, such as automatically increasing expenses solely using the City's projected General Fund expenditures on a per capita basis. The expenditure estimates used in this report are based on projected actual costs to provide service. So, for example, even though there will be a larger city to serve, there should be no increase in the City Man- ager's or City Attorney's budget. While there may be some additional work load experienced in these of- fices, it is not enough to justify an increase in the City's budget for these functions. On the other hand, there will be additional expenditures needed to provide police and fire service. Also, as explained earlier in this Chapter in discussing revenues, there are certain expenditures, such as building and plan checks, which are offset, or should be offset, by fees. For the purpose of this analysis, neither revenues nor expenditures for these activities will be presented in this report. City of Cathedral City In the following paragraphs each part of the city organization will be discussed. Those departments or offices, which have no expected additional operating expenses upon initial annexation, will be discussed briefly, while those departments which will have expenditures increases will be discussed in more detail. Administration If annexation occurs, it is not expected that there will be a need to increase the budgets for the City Council, City Attorney, and City Management, including marketing. It is also assumed that, while there will be somewhat more risk assumed with additional street miles, the current budget for Risk Manage- ment will be sufficient. It may be speculated that there would be more risk to the City by adding more fire- fighters and police officers. However, because of the recent reductions in existing City staff, the increase in staff to serve the annexed area initially will not likely be significant enough to increase this part of the budget. There will be an additional expense for the City Clerk's Office for the provision of elections every other year. There are 11 precincts in the Thousand Palms, which usually translates into two to three voting pre- cincts. Based on 2,778 registered voters in this area, the County Registrar of Voters estimates that the City will experience additional election expense of $7,000 per election every two years.12 In addition to the regular election cycle, special elections could be scheduled. However, these extra costs are difficult to project since the frequency of special elections is unknown. They will need to be budgeted on an ad hoc basis, if and when special elections are called. For the purposes of this fiscal analysis, only the normal election expense is projected for anticipated regular elections. On an annual basis, it is esti- mated that there would be an additional yearly cost of $3,500. In addition, either through the Clerk's Office, Administrative Services, or Community Development, limited staff support for the Thousand Palms Community Council is provided, assuming that City will continue this organization as an advisory body to the City Council. While there will not be any additional expense for various staff providing liaison and information to the advisory council (police, fire, code enforcement, planning, etc.), funds for part-time assistance to schedule meetings, prepare minutes and other clerical support in the amount of $5,000 is budgeted for this function. For the purpose of this report, these funds are included in the Clerk's Office budget. In the Administrative Services Department, there will be an additional work load for Human Re- sources and Finance, but not to the extent where additional expense should be budgeted initially for these functions. While there could be an additional expense for Management Information Systems to extend data and telephone services to Fire Station 35 and to the community center, there should be no expense in the beginning, if initial fire service to this area is continued to be provided by Cal Fire, and the recreation programs continue to be provided by the Desert Recreation District as contemplated by the Plan of Services. As a result, no additional expense is projected for the Administrative Services Depart- ment upon initial annexation. While there likely will be additional permit and entitlement processing in the Planning, Building, and En- gineering Divisions of the Community Development Department, the expense of this work should be offset by fees and absorbed by existing staff given the overall decline in building and development activity in the Valley. As explained above, neither potential income nor expenses from planning, building, and engineering activity because of this annexation are included in this analysis. As a side note, the processing of development plans through Planning, Building, and Engineering should be more convenient to those living in Thousand Palms if the annexation occurred. In effect, the level of service to the public should improve. Meetings of the City Planning Commission and City Council, for ex- ample, take place at the nearby City Hall in Cathedral City. It is currently necessary for those interested in development issues in unincorporated areas like Thousand Palms to attend meetings of the County Plan- ning Commission and the Board of Supervisors in the City of Riverside. In terms of day-to-day development activity, the County has a planning and development office on Wash- ington near Palm Desert Sun City. While this location is more convenient for those in living in Thousand Palms, there have been substantial staff reductions at this office this past year due to a major reduction in 12 Email, Riverside County Assistant Registrar of Voters, May 2.9, 2012. i A 1 Page Ciry of Catliedrul City development activity in the Valley. While this office still maintains a full-time counter person on a 4/10 work week to accept development and building plans, these plans must now be sent to Riverside for pro- cessing. So, for example, if an individual has submitted building plans which have been reviewed with corrections or other issues, that individual must travel to Riverside to review and discuss the corrections. Therefore, as a general rule, processing land use and development issues in Cathedral City should prove more convenient for those living in Thousand Palms. At this same location; the County still maintains Code Enforcement offices. Currently, these offices ap- parently are fully staffed, or nearly so. It is assumed that there will be no increase in the Community Organizations portion of the City budget. This is the portion of the budget which supports the Chamber of Commerce, Boys and Girls Club, and the senior center. Public Maintenance is responsible for street maintenance. While unlike most of the other expenditures discussed in this section, the budget for street maintenance is supported by two restricted revenues. gas tax and Measure A funds. Between these two revenue sources, the City expects to receive $358,289 to support street maintenance and the maintenance of traffic signals. Street lights, and the landscaped me- dian on Ramon Road, are funded by a local assessment district which is administered by the Desert Rec- reation District along with their maintenance of the community park. Street sweeping is provided through CVAG grants for major arterials and waste systems provider, Burrtec provides monthly residential street sweeping as part of its contract with the City. The City will pay for maintenance of the traffic signals and devote 2.0 FTE street maintenance workers and contract service to provide street, signal and sign maintenance in Thousand Palms. The initial budget to provide street maintenance to Thousand Palms is $358,289. Public Safety Police Department Thousand Palms Calls for Service (CFS) data was analyzed based on the Sheriffs Records Management System. In 2011, the Sheriff's Department reported 4,232 CFS, in 2010 the number was 4,028, and in 2009, it was 3,874. The crime data is not broken down by Part I and Part II crimes since the County Sheriff's Department as- sembles this data based on the entire unincorporated area within the Palm Desert station patrol area. However, the Captain in charge of this area observes that the major law enforcement issues in this com- munity involve crimes against property (burglary, theft, and vehicle theft) and drug related offenses. The response time goals provided by the Sheriff to this area are • Priority 1 calls > 5 minutes Priority 2 calls > 10 minutes • Priority 3 calls > 15 minutes This compares to Cathedral City where their actual response times are: • Priority 1 calls > 5 minutes • Priority 2 calls > 8 minutes • Priority 3 calls > 10 minutes Another factor in analyzing law enforcement service for the community is the geographical length of the area being served, and the fact that currently the developed part of Thousand Palms is separated physi- cally from the developed portion of Cathedral City, which is served by the City Police Department. Since maintaining adequate response times in reacting to serious crimes is an important law enforcement ob- jective, providing a sufficient number of officers in the community to accommodate that response is es- sential. S, / 7 1 Page City ol'Catleedral City To provide this service, it is proposed that two officers be assigned to this area 24/7, each assigned to a separate beat. This will provide immediate backup for each officer assigned to Thousand Palms without waiting, potentially for several minutes, for a beat officer or a cover car to respond from the developed part of the City. To staff two officers 24/7 will require the addition of nine police officers at a cost of $1,342,818. In addition, it is proposed that the coverage of one Sergeant be added during the time of heaviest call for service volume in Thousand Palms. This would require adding two Sergeants positions at a cost of $427,634. It is also proposed that one .75 FTE Detective be provided at a cost of $119,350, a Records Clerk at a cost of $86,673, and a .5 FTE Dispatcher at a cost of $47,851 be added to the Police Department to serve the Thousand Palms community. The total cost of providing police staff to Thousand Palms is estimated at $2,024,327. Two new, fully equipped patrol cars will need to be purchased at a total cost of $116,000. Since a "sinking fund" or equipment replacement fund is not established for vehicles needed for Thousand Palms, these patrol cars can be purchased through a five year lease -purchase agreement at an annual cost of $23,200. The total cost for police services, including staff and vehicles, is estimated at $2,047,527, The officers and staff will be deployed from the Cathedral City Police Station. In terms of providing access to police and support staff in Thousand Palms, one option as part of the Plan for Services (Chapter IV) is for the Police Department to use an office in Fire Station 35 for report writing and for meeting the public. This fire station is oversized, and has the space for a small office for use by the Police Department. As an alternative, the Police Department could explore using space at the Thousand Palms Library for report writing only as is the current practice of the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. A third possibility, and possibly the best ultimate option, is to locate an office in a community building proposed to be constructed as part of the SDC Ventura, LLC development at the northeast quadrant of the 1-10/Bob Hope Drive Inter- change (Messenger Project). Over time, it may turn out that other developers in the area would want to consider donating space for a police office located in Thousand Palms. Assigning the Records Clerk to Fire Station 35, or to the proposed community building in the SDC Ventu- ra, LLC development, for part of the work week could facilitate service to the public. The Department would also continue to support the senior volunteer program called, Citizens on Patrol, which has an of- fice in the Tri-Palms community. It would appear that annexation of this area would provide an improved law enforcement service level to the community. This is because there will be two police beats assigned exclusively to Thousand Palms. This compares to the current law enforcement provider where only one police beat is assigned exclusive- ly to this area. Also, measured by the number of officers per 1,000 population served, the number of of- ficers assigned to Thousand Palms would double. Also, the current closest public access for law enforcement is at the Sheriff's Palm Desert substation. There is the opportunity to provide limited public access for meetings, interviews, and inquiries by locating a Police Department Office at Fire Station 35, or eventually in the proposed development near the 1-10/Bob Hope Drive Interchange. Animal Control Cathedral City contracts for animal control services through Riverside County. They provide service from a shelter which serves the Coachella Valley at 72-050 Pet Land Place in Thousand Palms. Services in- clude field services as well as shelter and adoption services including licensing and vaccinations. The County Animal Control will charge Cathedral City $229,128 for these services in the coming fiscal year. This includes a .5 FTE Animal Control Officer (ACO) for field services and for Shelter Services. County Animal Control provided a cost estimate for serving Thousand Palms of $108,619, net of $3,500 in revenue.13 While the cost of shelter services seems in proportion to Cathedral City's population ($25,000 vs. $146,132) and seems reasonable, charging the same amount for Field Services for both areas does not. 13 Email, Deputy Director, County Animal Control, July 10, 2012. 1 K 1 Page City of t;athedrai City The City indicates that they have not seen an increase in complaints by reducing the Field Services costs to the level of a .5 FTE ACO serving approximately 51,000 people. Requiring a .5 FTE ACO for a com- munity of 7,715 does not appear reasonable. Of course, this report is not developing an exact contractual expense for the purposes of the actual provision of services to this area. It is only offering an estimate of what these costs will likely be initially if Thousand Palms were annexed by Cathedral City. Accordingly, the estimate from Animal Control is being reduced to reflect the services of a .25 ACO plus the amount required for Shelter Services. By making this adjustment, the estimated cost for Animal Control service in the first year of annexation is $70,483. Fire Department Provision of fire service to the Thousand Palms area is a more complex issue than the provision of law enforcement services. This is because the Riverside County Fire Department, under contract with Cal Fire, not only provides a response to fire and emergency medical calls to the immediate Thousand Palms community, but to all of the incorporated and unincorporated areas of the Coachella Valley, except the cities of Palm Springs and Cathedral City. Cal Fire provides immediate fire suppression and EMS response to Thousand Palms from Fire Station 35 with a Type I Engine, staffed with three firefighters (3 — 0 staffing). This engine responds to calls for ser- vice to Thousand Palms, plus portions of the cities of Palm Desert and Rancho Mirage. They also provide regional support to their entire service area from this station, including a Breathing Support Unit. Cal Fire is also considering moving their HazMat unit from Fire Station 81 in Bermuda Dunes to Thousand Palms. Fire Station 35, located at 31920 Robert Road, is a relatively new, oversized station. It became opera- tional November 1, 2009, and has approximately 9,100 square feet. It has three large garage bays which can accommodate up to six fire apparatus. It also has office space, an exercise/weight room, a spacious day room which includes a kitchen, dining, and TV areas, which are connected to an outdoor dining patio. It also has two separate living areas which can accommodate two fire crews. There are several options for providing fire and emergency medical service to Thousand Palms if it were annexed into Cathedral City. Option #1 would involve the City Fire Department moving a Type I fire en- gine, along with an ambulance, into Fire Station 35 and providing service to Thousand Palms and poten- tially the periphery of the surrounding cities through mutual or automatic aid. At times when both appa- ratus are available, this could provide approximately the same level of service to Thousand Palms in terms of response times currently provided by Cal Fire, if an efficient protocol for providing mutual or au- tomatic aid were able to be implemented. Also. Cathedral City would likely provide ambulance service rather than through the County service provider. These rights authorize Cathedral City to supply ambu- lance service within their City limits. Having both a fire engine and ambulance each staffed with two firefighters or fighter fighter/paramedics, would mean that, based on the experience in Cathedral City, for about 70% of the fires the City could re- spond with four firefighters, rather than three. This would meet OSHA's "2 in, 2 out" rule, and would allow for better initial response during the first critical few minutes in responding to a structural fire. However, in at least 30% of the cases, the initial response would only be with two firefighters, which would require the arrival of a second unit before two firefighters can enter a burning structure, with two firefighters remain- ing outside. In those cases, Cal Fires' service level would be better than the City's at the point of initial attack (3-0 staffing). It should be noted that Cathedral City Fire is currently exploring achieving 3-0 staff- ing on their engines which is the same as Cal Fire, and would be an improvement in the City's current response pattern. The City could also respond with three or four firefighter/paramedics to major medical emergencies for most, but not all, incidents. This is superior to the current initial response of one fire engine with three fire staff, including one paramedic, since serious emergencies require four or more paramedics or EMTs to handle all of the duties at such an emergency. It should be noted that all but four Cathedral City firefight- ers are paramedics, and that all new hires are firefighter/paramedics- Option #2, and the best option per the analysis of this report, would envision Cathedral City contracting with Cal Fire for fire service, with Cal Fire operating from Fire Station 35 as is currently the case. The City may not initially support this option since it would lose an opportunity to enlarge and improve their De- partment's operation with additional staff and apparatus. A further reason for not supporting this option is that the City might not be able to provide ambulance service with firefighter/paramedics with another agency providing fire service. Due to the lack of initial financial resources to support the City Fire Depart- 1 9 1 Page 1 0tv of Cntltedral City ment at the beginning of providing service to Thousand Palms and several years thereafter, the City will need to contract with Cal Fire in order to balance revenues and expenditures in providing this service to Thousand Palms until future development occurs. Option #3 is to develop a Plan for Services (Chapter IV) whereby Cal Fire would provide fire service un- der Option #2 for a number of years, with the Cathedral City Fire Department and Cal Fire eventually sharing Fire Station 35. The station's apparatus room certainly has significant capacity as pointed out above. There is enough room for a City Type I fire engine, or a ladder truck, if that proves to be the best configuration of apparatus, especially with the high value, mid -rise Aqua Caliente Casino and Resort nearby. There is also more than enough space for an ambulance and one or more Cal Fire apparatus. Whether or not co -location of City and Cal Fire operations would otherwise be feasible, would be dis- cussed and/or negotiated sometime in the future. This likely would be several years (10 — 15 years) after initial annexation before this discussion would be needed given the inadequacy of the structural fire tax in Thousand Palms to support basic fire service for either the City or Cal Fire. Regarding the location of ladder trucks, there is one at Cal Fire's stations 33 (Palm Desert) and 86 (In- dio). With the Aqua Caliente Resort close by, the two agencies may wish to collaborate to determine the best configuration of apparatus to serve not only the Thousand Palms community, but the surrounding area as well, including portions of nearby Rancho Mirage and Palm Desert. Further, since in the recent past, Cal Fire closed the North Palm Springs fire station, that agency may wish to re-evaluate the configu- ration of the stations they staff and where their apparatus should be located, if this annexation occurs. It has been mentioned that Fire Station 35 also has a large living area. There are two separate living quarters at this station which could accommodate a crew from each agency. Since Cathedral City has two staff on each apparatus, these four firefighters can be considered one crew for housing purposes. Each wing has four rooms, with three of them currently used as bedrooms, with two bunks in each bedroom. With this option, Cal Fire's regional operations should not be disrupted, and service to Thousand Palms should be at or a better level of service as the area currently receives. Through joint operations, and pos- sibly through automatic aid or a boundary drop, the perimeter portions of Rancho Mirage and Palm De- sert closest to Fire Station 35 could still receive the same level of fire response, subject to resolving dis- patch issues between the two agencies. Clearly, the two fire agencies would need to cooperate in devel- oping a successful implementation plan for this third option to succeed. Further, these issues will not need to be resolved likely for another 10 — 15 years. A variation of this option, if the City concludes it cannot subsidize ambulance service to Thousand Palms, is to provide fire suppression response, but continue with the current ambulance service provider. This is because the projected cost of staffing the ambulance exceeds the collection of an estimated $180,868 in offsetting fees. This will eliminate the benefit of having four firefighters responding to most fires and medi- cal emergencies from Fire Station 35. In fact, the level of service in Thousand Palms would diminish since the City only staffs its engines with two firefighters, therefore this variation is not recommended. Whether there would be an issue of the City losing its rights in providing ambulance service in part of the City, but not in the entire City, is not analyzed in this report. As an observation, however, it would appear that the City can still maintain the chain of the City's authority for providing ambulance service as long as it controls this service either by directly providing that service or by contract. Another fire facility immediately adjacent to Fire Station 35 is the Roy Wilson Training Center, jointly op- erated by Cal Fire and the College of the Desert. It has an estimated 9,000 square feet. According to Cal Fire staff, this training facility is operated separately from Fire Station 35, The Plan of Services antici- pates, therefore, that there would be no change in the operation of this fire training facility if the Thousand Palms area annexed to Cathedral City. Therefore, there would be no additional cost for operating this fa- cility as a result of this proposed annexation. Fire Service Cost For the City to provide fire service to Thousand Palms will require four Firefighters/Paramedics, including two person staffing for the Type I engine, and two firefighter/paramedics to staff an ambulance. To staff these two units 24/7 will require three Fire Captains, three Fire Engineers and six Firefighter/Paramedics. The cost of this staff is calculated at top step salary plus benefits. Administrative overhead is not in this cost since it not expected to increase as a result of this additional staffing. The estimated cost of the 12 fire staff is $2,019,384. < ) r f .2('d 1 P(J obi: City of Cathectrat City There will be no need to purchase an ambulance, since the City has a spare, or a front line ambulance which is now in reserve. Also, the City is purchasing a new Type I -engine which is expected to be deliv- ered in April 2013. At that time a current front line engine will become a reserve engine. No funds are budgeted for apparatus in the initial year of annexation if the City provides direct fire service to Thousand Palms since it is assumed that either an existing apparatus will be transferred to Fire Station 35, or that one will be obtained through a grant. If there is a need to purchase an additional Type I Engine in addition to the one which will arrive in April, the City could purchase this apparatus through a 15-year lease pur- chase agreement from the supplier, which would even out the cost of such an acquisition over the life of the engine. It is estimated that additional annual cost for the purchase of a new, fully equipped Type I fire engine using this type of financing mechanism based on a recent quote provided to another California city is approximately $45,000.14 Initially however, since it appears that there is only a marginal revenue stream to support this level of ser- vice, the City should contract with Cal Fire for fire/EMS service, with ambulance service provided by the current County provider. This would mean that, while the City would not receive paramedic service in- come, it would save money by contracting with Cal Fire. The estimate for a Type I fire engine staffed with three firefighters, including overhead and equipment is $1,650,000.15 This includes the administrative charges charged by the State as well as an "engine use agreement" which funds the use and replace- ment of all apparatus. Adding an operations and maintenance expense of an estimated $30,000,16 the total projected first year cost for contracting with Cal Fire is $1,680,000. In summary, the options for providing fire/EMS service to Thousand Palms include: Option #1.The provision of fire/EMS service by the Cathedral City Fire Department from Fire Station 35 with four firefighters or firefighter paramedics, assigned to two apparatus, provid- ing service through expedited mutual aid or automatic aid. Option #2. Provision of fire/EMS service by the County of Riverside Fire Department (Cal Fire), with three firefighters, assigned to one apparatus, under contract with the City during the initial years of annexation. Option #3. Provision of fire/EMS service by Cal Fire from Fire Station 35, with the Cathedral City Fire Department eventually providing fire/EMS service. When and if this occurs, the City Fire Department would then likely be able to provide service with three or four firefighters or firefighter paramedics assigned to a Typed engine, and two paramedics/EMTs assigned to an ambulance. Service from this station to Rancho Mirage and Palm Desert could be provid- ed through automatic aid depending upon resolving payment for service and dispatch issues. City Fire and Cal Fire could co- locate in Fire Station 35, with Cal Fire continuing to provide regional fire service from this facility assuming that these other issues can be resolved. It is strongly suggested, because of current revenue constraints, that Option #2 be pursued. Eventually Option #3 could be considered if financial, dispatch and other issues can be resolved. Expenditure Summary Total projected General Fund expenditures are summarized in Table II-E, "Projected First Year General Fund Expenditures, Service to Thousand Palms." These expenditures, primarily to provide police and fire services, are required to provide the same or better level of service to Thousand Palms as it currently re- ceives, and is comparable to the service levels provided in the developed portions of Cathedral City. In the following table, the estimated expenses for the initial year after annexation, are shown with the pro- jected cost for fire/EMS service Options #1 and #3, which are the same, and for Option #2. 14 Email, City of Morgan Hill, July 31, 2012. 15 Email, June 26, 2012, Assistant Chief Cooley, Cal Fire. 16 Email, July 27, 2012, Assistant Chief Cooley, Cal Fire. 211 Pane 01v o Calhcdral CiAr City Council City Attorney, City Manager $0 $0 City Clerk Elections $8,500 $8,500 Administrative Services Finance, Human Resources $0 $0 Management Information Services $0 $0 Community Development (Planning, Engineering, Buildin $0 $0 Animal Control $70,483 $70,483 Police $2,047,527 $2,047,527 Fire $2,019,384 $1,680,000 Total General Fund Expenditures $4,145,894 $3,806,510 In addition, it is estimated that there will be an additional expenditure of restricted revenues (Gas Tax, Measure A) in the amount of $358,289, This would mean a total operating budget of $4,504,183 for Fire Options 1 & 3, and $4,164,799 for the recommended Fire Option #2. Service to Thousand Palms would mostly be provided by contract, especially if Fire Option #2 is selected. In that case, the City would add staff of 13.25 FTEs to the Police Department and 2.0 FTEs to Public Maintenance, or a total of 15.25 FTEs. Summary of Fiscal Impact — Initial Year of Annexation There have been numerous changes in the fiscal structure of California municipalities in recent years. Not only because of the economic downturn, but more importantly because of the steps taken by the State to balance their budget on the backs of cities and counties, a significant reduction in revenue to support lo- cal services has occurred. The loss of redevelopment funds, the elimination of the Motor Vehicle in -lieu tax, and the diversion of other local revenues to state coffers are recent examples of major state takea- ways. Plus the State continues to adopt legislative mandates on cities without providing the needed reve- nue to implement these mandates as required by law. It is within this context that the fiscal impact of the potential annexation of Thousand Palms by Cathedral City is being evaluated. This analysis assumes that the state takeaways in recent years will not be re- stored. The projections in this report further assume that the revenue base now allowed cities will contin- ue in its current structure, not only for the first year of annexation but throughout the years until Thousand Palms is built out. This is because there is no way of predicting what the State may do next to attack the revenue base of cities and counties. The expenditure projections for the potential annexation of Thousand Palms are based on projected ac- tual expenditures to provide needed services to this community. Even though Cathedral City has had to significantly restructure its spending plan this fiscal year to achieve a balanced budget, it is appears that the City has adapted its expenditure model to match its reduced revenue stream. As it concerns the proposed Thousand Palms annexation, it appears that Cathedral City can more com- fortably annex this area with a balanced budget only under a scenario where the City contracts for fire/EMS service from Cal Fire. As this unincorporated area develops over time, the City will develop the fiscal capability to solidify its revenue base and support needed municipal services to Thousand Palms. It should be noted that it is expected that the tax base, during the first few years after annexation, will grow without requiring a proportionate increase in public safety expenditures, which is the major cost of extending municipal service to Thousand Palms. The public safety staff infrastructure will be established in the initial year, and then grow much more slowly compared to the rise in revenue due to increases in property tax, transient occupancy tax, and sales tax. For example, the Police Department will initially begin servicing the area with two patrol beats. It is unlikely that the number of beats will need to increase for many years, if ever. But there will be a need to incrementally increase the number of sergeant, detec- tive, and support staff hours as the area grows. So, the basic staff infrastructure to provide police service will be established at the very beginning, and then supervisory and support services will grow slowly and incrementally over time. In any event, assuming that fire[EMS service will initially be provided by Cal Fire, the following Table II-F, entitled, "Summary of Annual Revenues/Expenditures, Initial Year, Proposed Thousand Palms Annexa- tion," shows the projected revenues will roughly balance the needed expenditure to provide these ser- vices. Table II-F 22 1 Pan,! City of Cathedral ChJ, Summary of Revenues/Expenditure Initial Year Proposed Thousand Palms Annexation Fire Options 1 and 3 Fire Option 2 Revenue $3,926,089 $3,745,221 Expenditures $4,145,896 $3,806,510 Revenue Under Expenditures $219,807 $61,289 See Table II-B, "Total Available for City Operations," footnote #7 6 See Table II-E, "Fire Option #2" Table II-F shows that estimated expenditures would slightly exceed projected revenues available for gen- eral municipal purposes produced from the Thousand Palms area by an estimated $61,289 ($3,806,510" — $3,745,221) during the first year of annexation. This is based on an expenditure plan that would involve the City contracting with Cal Fire for fire service to the annexed area per Fire Option #2. The City has the ability through its expenditure plan to change this slight deficit into a slight surplus by delaying the filling one of the two Sergeant positions until expected development at the 1-10/Bob Hope Drive interchange gets underway. If, as part of the annexation, the City provided fire/EMS service initially as described in Fire Options #1 or #3, the projected expenditure plan would cost $4,145,896 which would produce a first year deficit of $219,807 ($4,145,896 - $3,926,089). The cost differential of initially providing City rather than Cal Fire service is due to Cal Fire's longer duty week, and the City's per shift deployment of four, rather than three, firefighters for Fire Station 35. This will require funding 12 rather than 9 firefighters to provide basic fire/EMS response, including ambulance service. Eventually, the revenues would increase as development occurs, permitting the City to decide whether it would be advantageous to extend City fire and ambulance service to this area. If that decision is eventu- ally made, the City obviously would need to work with Cal Fire to enable that agency to continue its `re- gional' response responsibilities as discussed in this report. There also will be a need to negotiate issues related to cost sharing and the provision of dispatch services. Annexation Advantages/Disadvantages It appears that, if the annexation occurred, service level to Thousand Palms would improve. Examples of these service improvements are: • Improved police patrol with two police patrol beats, rather than one police beat • The opportunity to provide public access to a police service office in the Thousand Palms com- munity. • When increased revenue from new development allows, fire service, whether provided by the City or Cal Fire, can be improved to four firefighter/paramedics for the initial response unit to a struc- tural fire or emergency medical response. This will enable either agency to meet the national "2 in, 2 out" standard for structural fires upon initial response. • Access to meetings where decisions are made affecting Thousand Palms will be much more con- venient to area residents. (City Council vs. Board of Supervisor meetings; City Planning Commis- sion vs. County Planning Commission meetings.) These "decision meetings" will be in Cathedral City rather than in Riverside. • Residents of Thousand Palms will have the opportunity to serve on city-wide advisory boards and commissions. • Voters in Thousand Palms will have more of an opportunity to run for local elective office (5 coun- cil positions vs. one member of the Board of Supervisors). " $3,926,089 as shown on Table It-B, Total Available for City Operations, is reduced to $3,745,221 to reflect the absence of ambulance revenue if Cal Fire initially provides fire/EMS service as contemplated by fire option #2. 23 1 Page (Jtv of Cathedral Cit}, • Access to most land use and permit processing will be in Cathedral City rather than in the City of Riverside. • The City has higher standards for the provision and funding of parks than the Desert Recreation District, potentially resulting in the provision of more park acreage and improvements in Thou- sand Palms. • The City has other Development Impact Fees which will help improve the infrastructure of Thou- sand Palms and the remainder of the City. • The City has some development regulations which are different than those provided by the Coun- ty. Other services, such as animal control, code enforcement, and street maintenance should be comparable to the service currently provided to Thousand Palms. Park maintenance, recreation programs, and street median and street light maintenance will not change since these services will continue to be provided by the Desert Recreation District. In addition, water, sewer and drainage and flood control will continue to be provided by the Coachella Valley Water District, electricity will be provided by the Imperial irrigation Dis- trict, and gas will be supplied by the Southern California Gas Company. Perhaps the most important advantage of a potential annexation is that the community will have unified governance and not be split with portions of the community overseen by the County, and another portion of the community overseen by one or two cities. Possible disadvantages of the annexation to Thousand Palms are: • An increase in the sales and use tax by $.01 until 2015; and • An extension of the City's Utilities User's Tax to Thousand Palms. The benefits of an annexation to Cathedral City are: • It will add undeveloped areas with excellent future freeway access which, as the unincorporated area develops, will expand the City's financial base, creating a more fiscally stable City in the long term. • The initial annexation would enable the City to develop and preserve a basic police staff 'infra- structure' to serve this area, while at the same time providing an improved level of service to Thousand Palms. This would also enable the Department to stabilize its staffing and service structure for both the existing city and the Thousand Palms area. • Future revenues as the annexed area develops will permit fire service to improve in this area. This could improve the basic staff and equipment infrastructure for the Fire Department. • The annexation will not reduce services, or the ability to provide these services, to the existing City. The disadvantage of the annexation of all of Thousand Palms to Cathedral City is. - The revenue/expenditure balance appears to be a negative balance, although it likely could be a "wash" or a slight surplus if the City contracts initially with Cal Fire for fire/EMS service, and police staffing is slightly adjusted during the first year of annexation. So, the City can avoid a negative impact on its current service levels in the initial year due to annexing the entire area by adjusting its expenditures for police service. Thereafter, as explained in Chapter III, the annexation should be a financial benefit to the City. As surprising as it may seem, given the recent fiscal challenges faced by both the City and the County, there appears to be some clear advantages to both Thousand Palms and Cathedral City to pursue the proposed annexation. In Chapter III which follows, the first year expenditure/revenue projections just discussed will be expand- ed to include estimates of expenditures/revenues after five years, ten years and at build out. ._i City of Catliedral Cite Chapter III Fiscal Analysis Future Development Including Build Out Thousand Palms Introduction In Chapter II, the initial year fiscal analysis regarding the potential annexation of Thousand Palms by the City of Cathedral City was presented. This analysis compared projected first year revenues which would be produced in Thousand Palms with expenditures required to maintain or exceed current local govern- ment service levels. As required by LAFCO, this chapter projects future revenues and expenditures to determine if an ade- quate level of service can be properly funded in Thousand Palms at build out. Using the revenue/ expenditure data from the Chapter II, these projections are based on the future land use plans for this area as reflected in the County's General Plan, with the exception of the already approved Specific Plan of the Berger Foundation for their Classic Club development, and the plans for property northeasterly of the 1-10/Bob Hope Drive Interchange, otherwise known as the Messenger project. The period of time to achieve build out is assumed to be 30 years. It is recognized, however, that eco- nomic conditions can fluctuate over three decades, so the length of time to achieve build out likely will vary, and could range anywhere from 25 — 60 years. Often, over a 30 year period, financial projections are made on a straight line basis using current estimat- ed revenues and expenditures. While, as explained below, some of the projections in this report use a straight line analysis, the effort of this study is to provide a more refined approach in preparing future rev- enue and expenditure estimates for this area. Not only are revenue/expenditure estimates at build out provided, but revenue/expenditure estimates during the first five and ten years are provided as well. As an example of this more refined approach, this report assumes that the Berger Foundation and Mes- senger projects are more nearly ready for development than the remainder of Thousand Palms. There- fore, these two projects are assumed to be fully developed much sooner than a 30 year period, possibly over the next 15 years. For the remainder of Thousand Palms, however, it is assumed that single family development will continue on a minimal to modest basis for the next five years, and then gradually in- crease to a higher rate of development for the next 25 years using a straight line projection, especially as the Berger and Messenger projects near completion. Regarding multi -family development in this area, except for the Berger Foundation and Messenger properties, it is assumed that this housing type in the rest of Thousand Palms will not be constructed during the first 5 years, and then will be constructed over the following 25 years to build out, again using a straight line projection. Assumptions Some of the other specific assumptions which are used to achieve a less generalized and more refined future expenditure/revenue projections until build out are as follows: Two planned freeway interchanges in the area along the 1-10 corridor will be constructed in 2022 and 2032, and it is projected that each new interchange will see the construction of two travel hotels of 125 rooms each, It is assumed that the hotel at the Classic Club will be constructed during the first 5 — 10 years after annexation. It is assumed that commercial/industrial development in Thousand Palms during the first 5 — 10 years after annexation will be concentrated in the Berger Foundation and Messenger pro- City of C'atltedral (ity jects, with the remaining commercial/industrial in the remaining area developed subsequent to those two projects in accordance with the County's General Plan. It is assumed in this report that the County's General Plan will provide the basis for land use development outside of the property which will be developed by the Berger Foundation and the Messenger Project. It is realized that over a 30-year period, changes in these General Plan designations may occur. This report does not, however, speculate on any possible land use changes. As a note to this study, while this report provides revenue and expenditures estimates five and ten years after annexation, that level of development along with the revenue it will pro- duce and expenditures it will require, could easily be stretched to a longer time frame, say 10 — 20 years. This reflects the uncertainty of the timing and extent of economic recovery over the intermediate and long term. In addition to the specific assumptions just mentioned, there are a number of general assumptions used by this report in making revenue and expenditure projections for the next 30 years in achieving build out. These general assumptions are: Build Out. As previously mentioned, the period of time for build out is assumed to be 30 years. This is based on the assumption that economic recovery will delay the momentum of economic development for the next 2 — 4 years, but that most of the area will be developed within 25 years. It likely will take an additional five years to develop the more difficult remaining properties, with to- tal build out occurring within 30 years. Again, build out, however, could take 40, 50, or even 60 years to complete. • Land Uses. The land use assumptions for preparing revenue/expenditure projections are based on the County's General Plan for the vacant areas in Thousand Palms. Exceptions to the County General Plan land uses are SP-343 (Berger Foundation Specific Plan) and the land use pro- posals for approximately 166 acres at the northeast quadrant of 1-10 and Bob Hope Drive, some- times referred to as the Messinger Project. Yield. Standard measures for projecting the number of residential units, or commercial square footage, based on land use acreage in the County General Plan, are used in this report. Excep- tions will be specific proposals, including adopted specific plans, where the yield for different land use types has already been established by the property owner and/or developer. For example, for all residential units to be developed under the County's General Plan, it is assumed that there will be 2.56 pph (persons per household) in developing population estimates for this area. However, for the Berger Foundation, it is projected that occupancy will reflect data from Palm Desert, or 2.2 pph. For the Messenger Project, it is assumed that there will be 3.0 pph for single family residen- tial development, and 1.8 pph for multi -family residential development. These latter figures are used by the City of Cathedral City and seem more appropriate for the type of development pro- posed in this area. Further, it is assumed that the residential units identified in the Berger Founda- tion and Messinger Projects are the actual number of units expected to be constructed, while the DUs covered by the County's General Plan are "gross" numbers. In this latter case, the actual projected units are reduced by 15% to account for roads, streets, utility easements, and other constraints in developing residential property. • Revenue Data Base. The primary source of financial data used to develop long-term revenue projections is income information obtained from the City's actual revenues, plus current revenue data supplied by the County, where applicable. Revenues for the first year of annexation are pre- sented in Chapter II, and these figures are projected into the future until build out using either a per capita basis or another formula which pertains to a specific type of revenue. • Expenditure Data Base. The primary source of data to prepare long-term expenditure projec- tions is information from the City's budget, plus current cost estimates from County service agen- cies, when pertinent. Again, the expenditures for the first year of annexation are presented in Chapter II and are projected into the future based on either a per capita basis or on other formu- lae. • Revenue Sources. No attempt has been made to predict new sources of revenue or changes in rates or formulas for various revenue sources. An exception is the Transactions and Use Tax 26 1 Page City ef Cathedral GO (TUT). While this tax may be extended by voter approval, this report assumes that the TUT will expire in June 2015. Offsetting Revenues/Expenditures. As in Chapter II, the report assumes that certain operations or functions, such as building, planning, and code enforcement, will not be included in revenue or cost projections, since fees pay, or should pay, for the expense of these services. If that is not occurring on a current basis, the City may need to review their fees to insure that offsetting reve- nue is received for specific services provided by the City, and that these services are not being subsidized by the general taxpayer. For the next several years until build out, it is assumed that the City's fee schedule will cover the costs for building, planning, and code enforcement services. Exceptions to this include General Plan updates, over the counter consultations, and collabora- tion with other local and regional agencies. Funding for these services are included in future pro- jected costs. • Inflation. The Model upon which this report is based allows the reader/user to use the numbers presented using different inflation rates. This report, however, assumes an inflation rate of zero. As a result current and future revenues/expenditures will be presented in constant dollars. This assumes that any future inflationary increases will impact revenues and expenditures equally. These assumptions are just that: assumptions. They are useful for the purposes of a study, but are not necessarily an exact predictor of where or when specific development or development types will occur. Again, residential development may be completely constructed over the next 30 years, but build out may not occur for a longer time period. Population Estimates Key to predicting future revenues and expenditures is estimating the population growth of the Thousand Palms areas. This information will help determine the amount of future revenues produced in this area as well as the cost to serve the new people living in this community. Currently, based on the 2010 census it is estimated that the Thousand Palms population is 7,715. It is estimated that 24,242 new residents will eventually be added to this area, and at build out the estimated population will be 31,457. This estimated build out population is based on the construction of an addition- al 3,715 single family homes and 6,429 multi -family homes, or a total of 10,090 new residential dwelling units (DUs). Of this total, 754 DUs would be constructed in the Berger Foundation project, 2,200 DUs in the Messenger project, and 7,136 DUs in the remainder of the area in accordance with the County's General Plan. As previously mentioned, this report assumes that the Berger Foundation and Messinger projects would be constructed initially over the first 15 years after annexation, with residential development in the re- mainder of the area occurring on a minimal to modest basis initially, and then accelerating after the Ber- ger Foundation and Messenger projects are well established. Based on these assumptions, it is projected that the population of the Thousand Palms area will be 9,489 in the fifth year after annexation, and 10,579 in year ten. Depending upon the economy and the rate of growth for Thousand Palms and the Coachella Valley, the population estimates for years five and ten may turn out to be the estimates for some future years like years 10 and 20. Providing periodic five year popu- lation projections beyond year ten as presented but are imprecise. Based on these assumptions; the following Table 111-A presents the population projections through build out. 271 Page 'i J City of Catliedral City ThousandTable Palms Population Year 111-A Projections Through Build Out Est. Population 2012-13 Base Year 7,715 2017-18 5 Years 9,489 2022-23 10 Years 10,579 2027-28 15 Years 18,250 2032-33 20 Years 22,815 2037-38 25 Years 27,380 2042-43 Build Out 31,945 In addition to the population estimates at 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 years and at build out, it is projected that there will be substantial non-residential development. A portion of this development will consist of 16 acres of executive office, or 230,000 square feet per the Berger Foundation Specific Plan. The Messen- ger Plan proposes 190 square feet of office and other services. For commercial, retail, and retail mixed use development, it is a projected that there will be 3,435,163 square feet of development. Of this amount, 500,000 square feet is in the Berger Foundation Specific Plan for the land use designations of mixed use retail village or community commercial development. For the Messenger Project, 320,000 square feet of commercial and restaurants is proposed. The remainder of the projected commercial development is in the County's General Plan. The combined plans contain 17,036,020 square feet of business park and industrial development. This includes 1,200,000 square feet (Research and Development) on 69.60 acres per the Berger Foundation Specific Plan, and 2,220,000 square feet of light industrial is projected in the Messenger project. The re- maining business park/industrial square footage is included in the County's General Plan. Since the projected business park and industrial development reflects a significant amount of square footage to be absorbed by the market place — perhaps more than could reasonably be absorbed by the market given similar projects which may be proposed in the Valley over the next 30 years or more — this report in developing its property tax revenue estimates uses a per capita projection based on the current ratio of property tax income/population. While this may produce a more conservative revenue projection for this tax, this approach may provide more useful data than to assume that over 17 million square feet of business park and industrial development will be absorbed by the market during the next 30 years. Revenue Estimates Per Capita Revenue As just mentioned, the property tax revenue is projected on a per capita basis. The current revenue pro- duced by Thousand Palms is divided by the current population, and the resulting property tax per person income is projected based on increases in the area's population. Again, this approach was used since it was concluded that property tax income based on over 17 million square feet of business park and indus- trial development and over 3.4 million square feet of retail/commercial may produce an unreasonably op- timistic result. It may be that over time some of this acreage (over 1,000 acres in the County General Plan outside of the Berger Foundation and Messenger Project land), will be rezoned to residential, institutional, or some other use. In addition to property tax, other revenues are projected on a per capita basis including the: • Structural Fire Tax; • Property Tax In Lieu; • Sales Tax Comp Fund; • Transaction and Use Tax (until June 2015); • Utilities User's Tax; • Franchise Fees; • Business License Fees; ?g I P,,_qe City oj'Cathedral City • Fines and Forfeitures; and • Charge for Services. Revenue from these sources is calculated at $387.60 per capita until June 2015 at which time the per capita amount is reduced to $349.06. These revenue sources are projected to produce $42,636 during 2013-14, increasing to $619,232 by 2017-18, and then growing to $999,708 by 2022-23 using the as- sumptions in this report. By build out, these revenue sources will produce $8,457,723 annually due to the projected population increase in Thousand Palms. Transient Occupancy Tax/Time Shares The Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) is the so-called hotel or bed tax charged by cities in the Coachella Valley for visitors lodging at local motels, hotels, and resorts. In Cathedral City the rate is 12%. In Thousand Palms there is one travel hotel, the Red Roof Inn. Proposed to be constructed as part of the Messenger Project is an upscale hotel and a travel hotel at the Bob Hope and 1-10 Interchange. It is ex- pected that both hotels will be constructed within the first five years after annexation, with the first hotel beginning construction during 2013-14. This 100-room hotel is expected to be completed by 2014-15 and a 300-room hotel by 2017-18. Expected to be constructed during the first 5 — 10 years after annexation is the resort hotel at the Classic Club (350 rooms). This facility is identified as the Golf View Hotel on the Berger Foundation Specific Plan, and is located on 17.60 acres next to the Classic Club Golf Course. The Plan also envisions the construc- tion of 216 time share units. It is assumed that, over time, four more travel hotels will be constructed, two each at the two new inter- changes expected to be built in the future. For the purposes of this report, it is projected that one inter- change, along with two travel hotels, will be constructed in 2022, and the other interchange, also with two travel hotels, will be constructed in 2032. The construction of these facilities will have a significant impact on the short-term and long-term financial feasibility of this annexation. The construction of the two hotels by Messenger and the resort hotel by the Berger Foundation is estimated to produce a $3.2 million in additional revenue to this area. The construc- tion of the four additional travel hotels plus the Berger Foundation timeshares during the next 20+ years will produce another $1.3 million of increased income in terms of today's revenue. Sales Tax This report assumes that the 500,000 square feet of retail/commercial for the Berger Foundation Specific Plan will be developed over the next 15 years using a straight line projection. This includes 400,000 square feet of retail in a mixed use retail village per the Berger Foundation Specific Plan. Based on the developer's projections, it is assumed in this report that most of the Messenger Project's 320,000 square feet will be developed by 2021. While major development of commercial square footage for this project may occur within a 5-year time frame, the 15-year projection is used since future commer- cial development in the context of the current economy is uncertain. The remainder of the area covered by the County's General Plan contains 276.96 acres which would pro- duce approximately 2.6 million square feet of commercial development. This amount of commercial seems excessive for this area and for the Coachella Valley as a whole, and, over time, this acreage may be converted to other land uses. For the purposes of this analysis the report assumes that the retail/commercial for the Berger Foundation and Messenger Projects will be developed over a 10 - 15 year period, and that the remainder of the commercial will be absorbed over a 30-year period until build out. It is estimated that Thousand Palms will produce an additional 8440,000 in sales tax income annually af- ter five years of annexation, which will increase to approximately $2.2 million annually after 10 years. At build out the estimated annual revenue from this source is an estimated $7.8 million. 9 Pag e (.71v of Cathedral City Non -General Fund Revenue The report only assumes the receipt of non -General Fund income consisting of state gas tax funds and Measure A funds. These two revenue sources are projected on a per capita basis based on the report's population projections. It is estimated that the per capita income produced by these two sources are: Gas Tax ($26.83/per capi- ta), and Measure A ($19.61 per capita), or a total of $46.44 per capita. It is estimated that these two re- stricted revenues will produce $465,793 in 2017-18, and $715,176 in 2022-23. At build out, it is estimated that these two revenue sources will produce $1,460,306 ($46.44 x 31,445) annually. These funds are re- stricted to street construction and maintenance activities and cannot be used for any "general city pur- pose." The projected revenues related to the potential Thousand Palms annexation are summarized in the fol- lowing Table III-B. ThousandOut Year Table Est. General Fund Revenue Est Non -General Fund Revenue 2012-13 $3,745,211 $358,289 2013-14 3,875,861 2017-18 5,126,153 465,793 2022-23 10, 751, 547 715,176 2027-28 15,436,963 2032-33 18,898,916 2037-38 21,820, 074 2042-43 24,744,721 1,460,306 As can be seen in this table, there is a gradual increase in revenue to support general operations, mostly based on the projected increase in population since many of the estimated revenues accruing to the City are based on per capita projections. There is a much larger increase between 2017-18 and 2022-23 as- suming the construction and operation of the resort hotel at the Classic Club Golf Course and the Mes- senger hotels along the 1-10 freeway. Of course, there is no guarantee that build out will be accomplished in 30 years. The revenue estimates for the first ten years may not be accomplished in that time frame, but may take longer to achieve de- pending upon economic conditions in the Valley. Also, based on the acreage set aside for commercial development in the County's General Plan, the sales tax revenue in these projections may be optimistic. On the other hand, as explained earlier, the property tax revenue projections are likely conservative. Expenditure Estimates The expenditure projections are based on the cost of police, fire, and other city services currently being provided to the City of Cathedral City and in providing service to Thousand Palms during the first year of annexation as described in Chapter II of this report. Based on that analysis, providing City services to Thousand Palms in 2013-14 would cost $3,806,510 against $4,012,685 in revenue, providing a slim bal- ance of $206,175. Initially, this balance would stay about the same, and, by 2017-18, it is estimated that expenditures to serve Thousand Palms with an estimated population of 9,489 would total $5,126,153 against revenue of $6,322,198, or a surplus of $1,196,045. During the next five years, with the expected construction of the resort hotel and other improvements, this surplus would grow to $2,656,259 by 2022- 23. At build out, the cost of serving Thousand Palms in terms of General Fund expenditures is estimated at $15,428,686 against General Fund income of $24,744,721, or a surplus of $9,316,035 in current dol- lars. Of course, these numbers are only estimates that could change dramatically based on rate of growth, type of development, and changes in basic land uses. These figures are summarized in Table III- C which presents the cost of serving Thousand Palms over the next 30-years, or until build out occurs. City of Cathedral City Year Est. GF Revenue Table Build Est. GF Expenditures Out Surplus (Deficit) 2013-14 4,012,683 3.806.510 206,173 2017-18 6,322,198 5:126,153 1,196,045 2022-23 10, 751, 547 8,095,228 2,656,259 2042-43 24, 744, 721 15, 928 ,686 9,311,035 These figures demonstrate that initially revenues would barely support needed expenditures. And this expenditure plan assumes that the City would contract with Cal Fire for fire service, otherwise the City would experience a deficit each year. This Table also shows that by the fifth year after annexation a substantial General Fund revenue surplus would accrue. This is based on the substantial TOT income which would be produced by the two hotels on the Messenger Property. This assumes that both facilities will be constructed by the fifth year of an- nexation. Additional revenue would be produced by the resort hotel at the Classic Club between the fifth and tenth year after annexation. Further, substantial increases in sales tax will occur by this time due to development of retail at the Berger Foundation and Messenger projects. Without this income stream, the revenues and expenditures would be evenly matched, and no major revenue surplus would be created. By the tenth year of annexation revenues would clearly exceed expenditures even if the classic club re- sort hotel were not on line. By the 301h year, or whenever build out occurs, this annexed area would clear- ly pay for needed municipal services in Thousand Palms and would have a significant positive economic benefit to Cathedral City. Expenditures for specific services were calculated as described in the following paragraphs. Instead of providing a straight line projection of expenses, an effort was made to anticipate the specific needs of the community based on its population and budget for those services, especially for the major cost of police and fire service. Police In the initial year of annexation as explained in Chapter II there would be 11.75 Full-time Equivalent (FTE) police officers with additional support staff such as a Records Clerk and .5 FTE Dispatcher, for a total of 13.25 FTE police staff. This provides basic police staff infrastructure to serve Thousand Plans at the level of 1.52 police officers per thousand vs. the current service level of .75 sheriff's deputy per thousand popu- lation. During the following five years there would be the addition of two FTE Sergeants_ This would increase the number of Sergeants assigned to Thousand Palms from two to four, providing a Sergeant on duty 24/7_ Also budgeted would be an additional Detective, Dispatcher, and Records Clerk. The number of police staff would then increase to 18.25 FTEs. Also two additional police vehicles would be purchased. During the next five year period (2019 — 2023), the City would add per the projected expenditures in this report four police officers, two Sergeants, one Detective, one Dispatcher and two Records Clerks. By the end of this period, and ten years after annexation, the Police Department would have 21.75 police officers to service a community of 10,579. This would amount to 2.06 police officers/thousand, a temporary in- crease from the initial level of staffing using the measure of police staffing of staff/1,000. It would be a level of staffing substantially higher than is currently being provided. Overall Police Department staff would total 28.25 FTEs. Also, three additional police vehicles would be purchased. During the next 20 years to build out, it is estimated that there would be added to the Police Department, 15 additional police officers, four detectives, two Sergeants, three Dispatchers and four more Record Clerks. Six additional police vehicles would be acquired. By 2042-43 there would be 42.75 FTE police officers to serve an estimated population of 31,945. This amounts to 1.34 officers per thousand popula- tion served. Total Police Department staff would number 62.25 FTEs. Animal Control The funding for Animal control in the initial year is $70,483, increasing to $141,000 by year ten. As the population for Thousand Palms doubles in 10 years, so would the amount budgeted for this service. At build out, it is projected that the cost of Animal Control is projected to be $400,000. 311 Paige Cit►, of Cathedral City Fire As mentioned in Chapters II and IV, it is recommended initially that the City contract with Cal Fire for fire/EMS service for both operational and financial reasons. The 30-year projection assumes that this ar- rangement will be in place for at least ten years. By the 101h year, it is assumed that the Palm Desert fire station which would partially serve Thousand Palms would be constructed and staffed. As a result, 40% of that station's staffing expense would be included in this budget, increasing the fire budget in current dollars to $2,352,000. This assumes that there will be a continued contract with Cal Fire at this time. By build out the Fire budget is projected at $3,986,400, Still assuming a service contract with Cal Fire, the budget would include the purchase of an ambulance with the City paying $1,000,000 for its operation. It is also projected that a fourth firefighter would be added to the engine company at Fire Station 35. This budget amount would give the City the flexibility to continue the contract with Cal Fire, provide additional money for apparatus, add a fourth firefighter/paramedic to the current Cal Fire Type I engine located at FS 35, and to support an additional Cal Fire engine company in Palm Desert which would partially serve Thousand Palms. Or this level of funding could support the provision of fire service by the City at Fire Sta- tion 35 using three or four person staffing of the engine at that location. Administration In the initial year of annexation, additional staff is not added to administration which includes finance, hu- man resources, MIS, and, in a broad sense, legal services. As the area grows, however, additional staff- ing will be needed. The expenditure projection for Administration staff and services includes an annual cost increase of $247,000 for two positions by year five and $494,000 by year ten with the addition of an- other clerical and a professional position. At build out, this expense increases to $988,000 with the addi- tion of four more positions to this Department or accumulated total of 8 full-time positions. Community Development As in administration, additional staff is not added to this function (planning, engineering, public works) in the initial year of annexation. As the area grows, however, funds for increased staff would be needed. By the fifth year after annexation, there would be an annual increase of $247,000 to support two new posi- tions in this Department. This amount would grow to $654,000 annually by year ten with the addition of three new positions. At build out this budget would grow to $1,308,000 with the addition of five more cleri- cal and professional positions, or a accumulated total of 10 full-time positions. City Clerk The cost of election service is estimated at an annual amount of $3,500 initially. By year five, it is estimat- ed to be $5,000 annually, and by year ten, $7,000. Again, the cost of elections will double in concert with a similar population increase. At build out, it is estimated that the cost of elections will be $15,000. In ad- dition, $5,000 will be included in this budget to support the Thousand Palms Community Council, for a total budget of $20,000. Public Maintenance Public maintenance is basically street, signal, and sign maintenance. The expenditures for this function is based solely on revenue from gas tax and Measure A funds. In the initial year this amount is estimated at $358,000. By 2017-18, this revenue source is expected to produce $465,793, and by 2022-23 this amount should be $715,176. By build out, this revenue source should produce $1,460,306. By build out, the General Fund expenditure portion of the City budget is projected to be $15,549,683, with an additional $1,460,306 in restricted revenue to support street maintenance services. The overall esti- mated City budget for Thousand Palms at build out is $17,009,989 as presented in Table Ili-D, "Thousand Palms Expenditure Budget at Build Out." 32 1 Page City of Cathedral City.

This income is created from building development fees and development impact fees (DIF). This revenue cannot be used to support on -going municipal services or operations, but are restricted by state law and implemented by City ordinances only for needed capital improvements. These improvements are de- signed to support new development. These fees are normally paid when an applicant seeks an entitle- ment or permit for land development and/or a permit for the construction of residential, commercial or in- dustrial development. The development fees in Cathedral City consist of two categories. One are Building Development fees collected for Police and Fire, City facilities, and signalization; the Master Undergrounding Fee; Transit Development Fee; Park Fees; Art in Public Places; and the City Facility Impact Fee. The other category of fees is Development Impact Fees (DIF). These fees are designed for new devel- opment to pay its share of overall City facility needs. The DIF fees in Cathedral City apply to the City Yard (vehicle storage); Police Community Center; Public Safety Training Site; Interchanges and Bridges; Un- paved Trails; and Parks, Community Center, and Pools. Each fee category will be discussed in this section. While it is feasible to provide specific estimates of to- tal DIF fees, such estimates are not feasible for all Building Development Fees. This is because elements of the formulae for these latter fees cannot be determined at this time, such as the "land cost per acre" at the time of development which is an element in determining the park fee. These issues are explained in the following paragraphs. Building Development Fees The Building Development Fees, as just mentioned, consist of Police, Fire, Facilities, and Signalization; Master Undergrounding Fee; Transit Development Fee; Park Fees; Art in Public Places; and City Facility Impact Fees. It is impossible to project the income from all of these fees at this time due to unknown ele- ments in some of the fee formulae. For example, Park Fees are determined by the number of DUs x av- erage # of persons per DU x 3 acres per 1,000 residents x land cost per acre = total fee. Unfortunately, it is impossible to determine at this time the "land cost per acre" when the fee is calculated. For Art in Public Places the formula is 1% of 90% of building valuation for buildings over 15,000 square feet. It is impossible at this time to determine how many buildings over 15,000 will be constructed at build out, or their valuation. While a guess could be taken as to how many square feet of roofed area will be constructed at build out, it likely would be too imprecise to estimate the Master Undergrounding Fee. This Fee is based on a for- mula of $.15 per square foot of roofed area for all development. Revenue estimates for portions of the Building Development Fees, however, can be estimated. For ex- ample, the City Facility Impact Fee is $1,851/residential unit. Based on an estimate of 9,796 DUs at build out, it is estimated that this fee will produce $18,132,396 in terms of current dollars ($1,851 x 9,796). The fee is $10,288/Acre for retail commercial, which is estimated to produce $3,707,281 ($10,288/Ac x 360.35 Acres). The fee for non -retail commercial/industrial is S6,247/Acre. This will produce an estimated 33 1 Pn; e City of Cathedral Cuy $7,214,348 ($6,247 x 1,154,85). The total estimated amount that would be collected by build out for the City Facility Impact Fee is $29,054,025. The fee for Police, Fire, Facilities, and Signalization is $150/1,000 square feet of all development. Since the average square feet of the 9,796 DUs yet to be constructed in Thousand Palms is difficult to project, only income for this fee from commercial and industrial development has been estimated. While the current estimates of square footage for commercial and industrial development at build out seem excessive, based on the Berger Foundation, Messenger, and County General Plans, the following estimates for this fee are as follows: Commercial = $569,550 (3,797,000 square feet x $15011,000 square feet); Industrial = $2,550,000 (17,000,000 square feet x $150/1000 square feet). This would provide a total of $3,119,550 for this fee category from commercial and industrial land uses. The estimated Building Development fees for Thousand Palms are presented in Table III-E, entitled, "Es- timated Building Development Fees for Thousand Palms." Development Impact Fees (DIF) Unlike the Building Development Fees, it is possible to project revenue projections for all of the DIF fees at build out. The fees are either determined based on $/DU for residential development, or $/Acre for re- tail commercial development and non -retail commercial industrial development. There are six DIF fees imposed by the City. In summary, the amount produced from residential develop- ment includes: $930,620 toward the City Yard ($95/DU x 9,796); $205,716 for the Police Community Cen- ter ($21/DU x 9,796); $176,328 toward a public safety training site ($18/DU x 9,796); $842,456 ($86/DU x 9,796); $519,188 for unpaved trails ($53/DU x 9,796); and $15,448,292 for parks, a community center and pools ($1,577/DU x 9,796). This latter fee will supplement the resources from the Desert Recreation District in providing parks and recreation facilities to the benefit of Thousand Palms. The amount produced from retail commercial development is based on $/Acre. In summary, for the City Yard the DIF fee on commercial development will produce $211,531 ($587/Acre x 360.35 acres). For the Police Community Center the amount collected by build out will be $47,566 ($132/AC x 360.35 acres). The amount produced for the public safety training site will be $39,639 ($110/AC x 360.35 acres); for the Interchanges and Bridges the amount collected will be $1,492,930 ($4,143/AC x 360.35 acres); for un- paved trails the amount produced will be $62,341 ($173/AC x 360.35 acres); and for parks, a community center, and pools $1,852,559 will be produced ($5,141/AC x 360.35 acres). The revenue received from non -retail commercial industrial development is also based on $/AC. Devel- opment of a City Yard is projected to receive $524,302 ($454/AC x 1,154.85 acres), the Police Communi- ty Center should receive $117,795 ($102/AC x 1,154.85); the public safety training site should be sup- ported in the amount of $98,162 ($85/AC x 1,154.85 acres); Interchanges and Bridges should receive $1,732,275 ($1,500/AC x 1,154.85 acres); Unpaved Trails should obtain $154,750 ($134/AC x 1,154.85 acres); and parks, a community center, and pools should secure $4,588,219 ($3,973/AC x 1,154.85 acres). This data is summarized in Table III-F, entitled, "Development Impact Fees for Thousand Palms." 34 1 Page City of CaMerlral Ci4- Development Impact. Table 111-F Palms Residential Commercial Industrial Total City Yard $930,620 $211,531 $524,302 $1,666,454 Police Communication 205,716 47,566 117,795 371,077 Center Public Safety Train Site 176,325 39,639 98,162 314,126 Interchanges & Bridges 842,256 1,492,930 1,732,275 4,067,461 Unpaved Trails 519,188 62,341 154,750 736,279 Parks, Community 15,448,292 1,852,559 4,588,219 21,889,070 Center, Pools As can be seen from Tables III-E and III-F, there will be a significant amount of one-time revenue collect- ed from DIF fees for various City-wide public improvements during the development of Thousand Palms. These revenues will supplement income from DIF fees applied to other parts of the City. Examples of city- wide improvements are the City Yard ($1,666,454), Police Community Center ($371,077), the Public Safety Training Site ($314,126), and Unpaved Trails ($736,279). Examples of improvements which, while city-wide in application, will have a more direct impact on Thousand Palms are the fees for Interchanges and Bridges ($4,067,461) and Parks, Community Center, and Pools ($21,889,070). This latter fee cou- pled with the Park Fees which will be collected as a Building Development Fee will provide substantial resources for park and recreation facilities in Thousand Palms and rest of Cathedral City. Summary Based on the projections in this report, it appears that there should be sufficient General Fund and re- stricted revenue to support basic City services to Thousand Palms during the first 5 years after annexa- tion. Revenues, however, will not be sufficient to accumulate any significant surplus during this period of time. Between the fifth and tenth years after annexation, however, there is projected to be a revenue sur- plus to support City services, and after ten years until build out the revenue surplus will grow significantly and should be substantial. At the same time, services will equal or exceed services now received in Thousand Palms, and will equal or exceed those services currently received in Cathedral City. Also, there appears to be sufficient one-time revenue to support major capital improvement projects in Thousand Palms as well as provide that communities' share of city-wide capital improvements. The in- come collected for these improvements, particularly for parks and recreation facilities, appear to exceed what could be obtained otherwise. This is because of the City's authority to impose DIF fees compared to the Desert Recreation District. As can be seen by this report, the Building Development Fees and Devel- opment Impact Fees over time will produce a significant amount of capital improvement revenue. 35 1 Pt;e Chapter IV Plan of Services Community of Thousand Palms The Riverside County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) requires as part of any annexation process that a Plan of Services be prepared for the area proposed for annexation. The purpose of the Plan is to articulate the service demand for the area at complete development, and indicate how that de- mand will be met. In the case of the Plan for Services for Thousand Palms, not only will the service demand at build -out be analyzed and discussed, but service demand has been evaluated during the initial year of annexation as discussed in Chapter II of this report. This approach is designed to assure LAFCO, the citizens of Thou- sand Palms, and the City of Cathedral City that adequate and satisfactory services will be provided both initially as well as at full development in a fiscally responsible and balanced manner. These services will be provided not only by the City, but by other agencies which currently serve Thousand Palms. In order to develop a comprehensive Plan of Services, LAFCO has developed a draft checklist of infor- mation which should be provided in this Plan. This checklist is used as a guide in developing this report. The Plan of Services checklist specifies that the following areas should be analyzed and discussed • Background • Police Protection • Fire Protection • Animal Shelter and Control • Water • Wastewater • Electricity • Solid Waste Collection • Street Maintenance • Lighting, Landscaping, and Street Sweeping • Parks and Recreation • Library • Financial Information In addition, this Plan of Services also includes: • Schools Also, the Plan of Services has grouped under the heading of "Utilities" the following utility services.- 0 Water; • Wastewater; • Electricity; and • Solid Waste Collection Services. City ol'Cafhe7ral City In addition to the utility services specified by LAFCO, the following services have been added under the "Utilities" category: • Drainage/Flood Control, and • Gas (natural). Further, this Plan of Services also has moved Street Sweeping into the more appropriate category of Street Maintenance. Finally, parks, recreation, and library services are grouped under the heading of "Leisure Services." In each category of service, the LAFCO checklist asks for a description of the level of service standard provided by the current service provider, and the level of service which will be provided by the new ser- vice provider, in this case, the City of Cathedral City. Where the service provider will not change due to the annexation, and there will be no change in land use designations, a limited analysis of these services to the area is required. This presumably is based upon the assumption that the current service provider will be able to continue its current service role, and to meet the requirements for implementing its master plan in the impacted service area. Background The Thousand Palms community stretches along the northeasterly edge of the 1-10 freeway, from west of Rio del Sol Road to 381h Avenue, and then easterly to Washington. It consists of over 5,600 acres, with an estimated population of 7,71518. When added to the 4,100 acres from Da Vail Drive to Rio del Sol Road, a total of 9,700 acres is being evaluated as part of this Plan for Services. This unincorporated area is partly inhabited, but with a significant amount of vacant land. As shown in the map on Exhibit A (See Chapter 1), it is bounded on the southwest by the 1-10 freeway, the City of Cathe- dral City to the northwest, the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Area on the north- west, and the Palm Desert Sphere of Influence (SOI) to the southeast. Thousand Palms is mostly a residential community with most of its inhabitants living in the vicinity of the I- 10 freeway, Monterey Avenue, and Ramon Road. There is also freeway commercial in this area, along with a business park. This part of the community is served by an elementary school, a park with a com- munity center and library, and Fire Station 35. Adjacent to the fire station is a major fire training facility which serves the entire desert region. Northerly there is scattered, though important industrial development, including nearby surface mining. Running south along Varner Road toward Palm Desert Sun City are additional pockets of residential de- velopment, along with the Classic Club Golf Facility and the private Xavier High School. Currently, Thousand Palms is served by Riverside County, which provides both police and fire/emergency medical service. Water, sewer, and drainage facilities are maintained and operated by the Coachella Val- ley Water District. Electrical Service is provided by the Imperial Irrigation District. The Desert Recreation District maintains and programs the park and community center, and maintains street lights and a major street median (Ramon Road). County Library Services operates a branch library next to the community center, and the public schools are administered by the Palm Springs Unified School District. On December 8, 2010, the City Council gave direction to submit an application to expand the City's SOI to include the remainder of the Thousand Palms community. This unincorporated area was formally placed in Cathedral City's SOI by the Riverside County LAFCO in January 2012. This means that if the area is annexed into a City, it can only be annexed into Cathedral City while it is in the City's SOI. While the City was interested primarily in annexing the area between Da Vail Drive and Rio del Sol Road, the entire area is being assessed for potential annexation because of the interest of those living and working in the Thousand Palms community. Police Protection 18 2010 U. S. Census. City of Cathedral CiiyG Current Service Provider The current service provider of police protection to the Thousand Palms community is the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. In accordance with LAFCO's Plan of Services checklist, the following infor- mation has been provided by the Sheriff's Department. Level of service standard (target or goal). The officer to population ratio projected this summer (2012) is .75/1,000. Due to County budget cuts, this ratio was reduced from 1.20/1,000 during the past two years. It should be noted that many professionals in the law enforcement community do not believe that the number of officers per 1,000 population is an appropriate measure of law enforcement service levels. This is because socioeconomic factors play a more important role in determining the need for the number of officers to serve a particular community. Nevertheless, this information is provided as required by the checklist. The response time goals by priority type are: • Priority 1 calls < 5 minutes • Priority 2 calls < 10 minutes • Priority 3 calls < 15 minutes Where is the nearest station providing counter services to the affected area? The closest fully staffed Sheriffs substation with counter service is located in Palm Desert. The address of this substation is 73705 Gerald Ford Drive, Palm Desert, CA 92260. This facility is approximately one- half mile from the middle of Thousand Palms at Cook Road, and is approximately 4.5 miles from Fire Sta- tion 35 which is located in the midst of this community's population base. While not providing counter or public access, a report writing office space is maintained by the Sheriff at the Thousand Palms Library, 31189 Robert Road, Thousand Palms, CA 92276. What is the actual level of service being provided within the unincorporated service area of a station ? Regarding officer to population ratio, it is .75 per 1,000, beginning in summer 2012. As pointed out by the Sheriff's Department, this number can vary up or down depending upon budget considerations. For ex- ample; the ratio was 1.20 per 1,000 population two years ago. In addition, supplementing this patrol staff- ing, the California Highway Patrol provides traffic enforcement and accident investigation service to this community. Concerning the requested number of daily patrol hours provided to this area, a specific number was not able to be provided by the Sheriff's Department. The Department did indicate, however, that there is one beat officer dedicated to Thousand Palms, meaning that there are at least 24 patrol hours provided to this community each day. In addition, this beat can be assisted by a Deputy from an adjacent beat when nec- essary. Further, there is a canine unit assigned out of the Palm Desert Substation to serve the Depart- ment's unincorporated area in the Valley. Regarding the average response times by priority type, this information was not specifically available for Thousand Palms, except for the response goals by priority type presented above. List and briefly describe any specialized units. In addition to the above mentioned canine unit, the Sheriffs Department has a number of specialized in- vestigative units which investigates homicides, narcotics, and other high profile cases. As a large law en- forcement agency, the Department has a number of other specialized units and equipment as well. It should be noted that most of these units are also available to city police agencies in accordance with County policy and through mutual aid. New Service Provider (J 3S; Page City of Cathedral City The new service provider is the Cathedral City Police Department. In accordance with LAFCO's checklist, the following information is provided. Number of sworn officers employed by the agency. As of July 1, 2012, the City of Cathedral City currently employs 47 sworn police officers as authorized in the City's 2012-13 budget. Level of service standard (target or goal) The current level of service goal in Cathedral City is an officer to population ratio of slightly less than 1.0/1,000 based on current practice. However, given the geographical characteristics of Thousand Palms at the time of initial annexation, the Plan for Services envisions the Police Department providing two pa- trol beats 24/7, plus necessary supervisory and support staff. This will result in 11.75 sworn police officers (9 officers, 2 Sergeants, and .75 Detective) being added to the Police Department to serve Thousand Palms. As a result, the initial staffing goal will be an officer to population ratio slightly more than 1.5011,000. As explained in Chapter 11, the requirement for two patrol beats is, in part, because of the physical length of the Thousand Palms service area. Also, this community is physically separate from the developed part of Cathedral City, so there is a need for two beats to provide immediate backup and assis- tance for emergency calls. It should be noted that, in addition to the number of sworn officers required to serve Thousand Palms, additional civilian staff will be needed, including 1 Records Clerk and a .5 Dispatcher. This will result in a total initial Police Department staffing of 13.25 FTEs (Full -Time Equivalents), If annexation occurs, and as the area grows, the need to expand beyond two beats will not be required in the foreseeable future. There will be a need, however, to add Sergeants, Detectives and support staff to met future demands of a larger population. Basically, the initial annexation will involve the investment in "basic sworn officer infrastructure" to provide needed patrol services now and in the foreseeable future, with additional supervisory and support staff added in the future. This means that the number of officers per 1,000 population served will slightly decline by build out, but will continue to exceed the number of officers per 1,000 currently provided to Thousand Palms as well as to the existing City. The response time goals by priority type, and based on actual response times in Cathedral City, are: • Priority 1 calls < 5 minutes • Priority 2 calls < 8 minutes • Priority 3 calls < 10 minutes These response time goals are slightly higher than the actual average response times currently experi- enced in Cathedral City. With the two beat structure proposed for Thousand Palms, it is expected that these response times will be at or lower than those stated above. Actual level of service being provided city-wide. With the adoption of the City's 2012-13 budget the city-wide officer to population ratio is .92/1,000. As just mentioned, since the developed portion of Thousand Palms is physically separate from the developed parts of Cathedral City, the Police Plan of Services provides for two patrol beats 24/7 to serve this area. This Plan envisions dedicating two patrol beats exclusively to serve Thousand Palms. Through this staffing configuration there will be back up for each officer patrolling this community. Along with providing staff for the patrol sergeant function which supervises these beats, and a .75 FTE detec- tive, it is projected that the officer to population ratio will be slightly greater than 1.50/1,000. As can be seen from this comparison with the existing service level, this will be an improvement over the current level of law enforcement service and staffing provided to Thousand Palms at the time of initial an- nexation. This ratio will likely decline slightly by build out and at complete development, since the City would invest in a significant portion of the basic "patrol infrastructure" during the first year of annexation. The number of daily patrol hours currently provided city-wide, not including supervising patrol sergeants, is 144 hours. The number of patrol hours per day which will be provided to Thousand Palms is 48 hours, 39 1 Page Cii v of Catli e(fral City namely two 24/7 patrol beats. Again, this is an increase over the current level of service being provided to this area. The average response times by priority type provided city-wide are: • Priority 1 calls < 4.5 minutes • Priority 2 calls < 6.9 minutes • Priority 3 calls < 7.2 minutes It is expected that the response times to Thousand Palms will be at or better than these average re- sponse times. Additional personnel/facilities required at build -out Based on projected land uses at build -out for the affected area, this part of the LAFCO checklist asks how many additional personnel and facilities will be required to maintain the existing level of service. Initially, there will be a need for the City to add approximately 9.0 full-time equivalent police officers to staff two patrol beats in Thousand Palms. There will be a need to also add 2.0 Sergeants, .75 Detective, .5 Dis- patcher, and 1.0 Records Clerk. Based on the projected initial City service level staffing of slightly more than 1.50 officers per 1,000 population served, plus support staff and vehicles, the cost of the first year of police service to the annexed area is estimated at $2,047,527. At build -out it is projected that there will be 62.25 FTE police staff, including 42.75 sworn officers at a cost of $8,847,283. These officers, plus support staff, will be funded by General Fund revenues produced in Thousand Palms such as property tax, sales tax, transient occupancy tax, property transfer tax, utility us- ers' tax, fines and forfeitures, service charges, and franchise fees. It is not expected that a new police facility will be needed to serve this area. The area will be served from the Cathedral City police station. It is projected that over time with the expected growth in Thousand Palms, the current police station, without expansion, can satisfactorily provide service to this area. There is the likely possibility, however, that a satellite facility will be located in Thousand Palms. At a min- imum. building space for report writing can be provided, which will allow patrol officers to stay within their beat while engaged in writing police reports. Currently, the Sheriff uses space at the County Library for this purpose, and there also appears to be space which could be made available at Fire Station 35. The proposed plan for development at the northeast quadrant of the 1-10/Bob Hope Drive interchange antici- pates a community facility which could also accommodate office space and limited public access space for the Police Department. By locating an office at the Fire Station, or the proposed community facility, the opportunity for limited public access for police business will be afforded. The Library and Fire Station are located on Robert Road, and the community facility will be located be- tween Varner Road and the 1-10, slightly north of Bob Hope Drive. It is not expected that there will be a construction expense for any of these potential police office locations, since the Library and Fire Station are already in place, and the proposed community facility would be provided through developer coopera- tion. Where are the nearest two police stations providing counter service to the affected are? The two nearest police stations providing counter service to Thousand Palms are the Sheriff's Palm De- sert substation at 73750 Gerald Ford Drive, Palm Desert, CA 92260, and the Cathedral City police station located at 68700 Avenida Lalo Guerrero, Cathedral City, CA 92234. The Sheriff's substation is approxi- mately 4.5 miles from Fire Station 35, near the bulk of the residential, commercial, and business park de- velopment in Thousand Palms. The City police station is an estimated 6.6 miles from that same location. List any specialized units of the Police Department. The Cathedral City Police Department participates in the Coachella Valley Violent Gang Team Task Force and participates in the Palm Springs/Cathedral City joint SWAT Team. Fire Protection M) 40 .J Pi7; e City of Cathedral City Background Currently, fire protection and emergency medical services (EMS) are provided to the Thousand Palms area by the Riverside County Fire Department under contract with the state fire agency, commonly known as Cal Fire. These services are provided from Fire Station 35, located in the Thousand Palms community at 31920 Robert Road. Cal Fire responds to fire and EMS calls with one Type-1 fire engine staffed by three firefighters (3 — 0 staffing), including at least one firefighter/paramedic. Ambulance services are pro- vided by American Medical Response to unincorporated areas, including the Thousand Palms communi- ty, under contract with Riverside County. The ambulance is staffed with at least one paramedic, but the ambulance staff is not qualified as firefighters. Cal Fire can also provide ambulance service for cities which contracts with that agency for fire service. By contrast, Cathedral City provides fire, EMS, and ambulance services through its Fire Department. One scenario evaluated by this report anticipates that these services will be provided to Thousand Palms by the City, using Fire Station 35. Under this scenario (See Option I, Chapter 11), a fire engine would be lo- cated at Fire Station 35 and staffed by two firefighter/paramedics. An ambulance would also be located at this fire station, staffed by two firefighters/paramedics19. This means that for approximately 70% of the fire calls, Cathedral City can respond with a fire engine and an ambulance, and will have four firefighters available for the initial fire attack. This meets the OSHA standard of "2 in, 2 out" for the initial fire re- sponse. It should be noted, however, that in 30% of the cases when the ambulance is "on call," the City would initially respond with two firefighters, requiring a backup engine, or City staffed ambulance, before the "2 in, 2 out" standard can be met. This would be a lower level of service than is currently received in Thousand Palms. A second scenario (See Option 11, Chapter II) is to contract with Cal Fire to provide service to Thousand Palms. This Option was developed due to the reduced level of service during approximately 30% of the fire calls if fire response was provided by the City, and the projected deficit in tax revenue available to support both full City police and fire service to this area during the first several years after annexation. A third scenario (See Option III, Chapter II) is Cal Fire providing fire/EMS service in the initial years after annexation, and then Cathedral City providing fire, EMS, and ambulance service from Fire Station 35 when revenues from growth in Thousand Palms can support these services. This option envisions City Fire and Cal Fire eventually sharing Fire Station 35, an oversized station. The apparatus and crew capac- ity of this station is detailed in Chapter II. It should be noted that particularly under Options I and III, as a backup to the Fire Station 35 engine com- pany, there would be fire responses into Thousand Palms from both Cal Fire and Cathedral City stations, either through an initial or backup response 20. As a result, an automatic aid agreement or a complete "boundary drop" would need to be negotiated between the two agencies, likely a statistically based cost sharing agreement between Cal Fire and the City likely would need to be negotiated21 since there will be more responses into this area from Cal Fire than from the City. In addition, dispatch issues would need to be resolved as well. It is recommended that, because of current operational and revenue constraints, Option #2 be imple- mented; possibly moving to Option #3 sometime in the future. If Option #3 is pursued, operational and revenue issues would need to be resolved between the City and Cal Fire as the area develops and the tax base enlarges. The process of transitioning from Option #2 to Option #3 could take several years, possibly in the 10 — 15 year time frame, and possibly longer. In reviewing the responses to the Plan of Services checklist, one should keep in mind the different sce- narios under which fire, EMS, and ambulance service can be provided to Thousand Palms. In Options 2 and 3 the level of service to the community will either be the same or improve. This is because the re- sources in Thousand Palms will grow to the point of supporting four firefighter/paramedics on a Type I Engine, whether staffed by the City or Cal Fire. 19 All entry level career Cathedral City firefighters are firefighters/paramedic. 20 The distance of the two agency's stations on the periphery of Thousand Palms are listed in the follow- ing section. 21 Email, Assistant Chief Cooley, June 22, 2012. C'hv of Cathedral Cite At build -out it is expected that either Cal Fire or the City Fire Department will provide fire, EMS, and am- bulance service to Thousand Palms. Current Service Provider The current service provider is the Riverside County Fire Department through a contract with Cal Fire, the state fire agency. The Department serves the Thousand Palms area, and the periphery of the cities of Rancho Mirage and Palm Desert, from Fire Station 35. This primarily response service is with a Type I Fire Engine, with three firefighters or firefighter/paramedics. They also provide apparatus from this station to serve the regional needs of the Coachella Valley, with a Breathing Support vehicle assigned to Fire Station 35. Location of the three nearest fire stations, and their distance to Thousand Palms The primary response station is Fire Station 35 which is located in Thousand Palms. The other nearby Cal Fire stations are Fire Stations 69, 71 and 81. Fire Station 69 is in North Rancho Mirage at 71751 Gerald Ford Drive, and is 2.5 miles from the northern portion of the annexation area. Fire Station 71 is in North Palm Desert at 73995 Country Club Drive, and is 2.8 miles from the central portion of the proposed annexed area at Cook and 1-10. Fire Station 81 is in North Bermuda Dunes at 37955 Washington Street, and is 1.7 miles from the southern portion of the annexed area at 38th Avenue and Varner. Cathedral City has three fire stations, 411, 412, and 413. Fire Station 412 is at 32-100 Desert Vista Road. near Ramon Road, and is 3.5 miles to the northern portion of Thousand Palms at Varner and Bob Hope Drive. Fire Station 413 is at 27610 Landau, and is 5.2 miles from Varner and Bob Hope. Fire station 411 at 36910 Date Palm is 5.7 miles from the northern part of Thousand Palms. Please see Map IV-1 for the location of the fire stations in and around Thousand Palms for both the City and Cal Fire. What is the level of service standard? In a general sense, the level of service should be similar, whether response is by the City (Option 1 and 3) or Cal Fire (Option #2) since either agency will be responding from Fire Station 35 with a Type I fire engine. It is expected that the responses in either case will be in less than 8 minutes for a fire emergency, and 5 minutes or less in most emergencies. The response by Cal Fire currently is with a 3 person crew, while the City will respond with a 2 person engine crew, plus a 2 person crew from the ambulance, when it is not otherwise engaged. It is recommended that the City contract with Cal Fire to provide fire service, with the City considering providing service when the tax base expands in Thousand Palms and can sup- port an extra firefighter. Due to staffing, operational, and dispatch issues, however, the City could be well served by continuing the contract with Cal Fire for the duration, even to build out. For ambulance service, the City provides a 2 person crew with firefighter/paramedics, and the County provides service to this unincorporated area through a contract with AMR, which includes one paramedic which is not a firefighter. For a major medical emergency, the City would be able to supply four firefight- er/paramedics (two from the ambulance, two from the fire engine) in most cases when fire engine is not otherwise engaged. A backup engine or ambulance would be dispatched from the nearest station to pro- vide staff in those cases. It is recommended, however, that initially emergency medical response be pro- vided by either Cal Fire or AMR. What are the actual average response times? The average response time to an emergency should be 8 minutes or less as a goal, but often is 5 minutes or less. There should be no reduction in response times, whether the response is by the City or by Cal Fire. rp m 3 z y ai 3 d � C O O. 0 a M _ z C _ r O H L 41 OkiG( d a � N O C� W h - CID � g N �MYH 1 z U) - N to Vr1 J =W 3 0 J� d 0 Cityof Cathedral City T-- -- Equipmendstaffing at each station. The equipment and staffing assigned to the Cal Fire Stations in and on the periphery of Thousand Palms, and which occasionally respond to calls in Thousand Palms, either initially or as backup; include: • Fire Station 35: Type 1 fire engine, with crew, and a Breathing Support Unit (often referred to as a Light and Air Unit) with crew. • Fire Station 69: Type 1 fire engine, with crew, a medic ambulance, with crew, and a reserve med- ic ambulance. • Fire Station 71: Type 1 fire engine, with crew, a medic ambulance, with crew, and a reserve Type 1 fire engine. • Fire Station 81: Type 1 fire engine, with crew, HazMat response unit, a HazMat Squad, a reserve HazMat Squad, and a HazMat support trailer. The fire engine and HazMat units are crossed - staffed along with a HazMat Captain and Engineer, providing a minimum of five staff on duty dai- ly. New Service Provider Location of the three nearestfire stations to the affected area. Again, the primary response station under any of the three scenarios described above is Fire Station 35 which is located in Thousand Palms. The other nearest stations are Cathedral City Fire Station 412 (3.5 miles from the northern part of Thousand Palms), County Fire Station 69 (2.5 miles from the northern por- tion of Thousand Palms), County Fire Station 71 (2.8 miles from the central part of this community), and County Fire Station 81 (1.7 miles from the southern portion of Thousand Palms). The fire stations currently operated by Cathedral City are Fire Station 411 (downtown station) located at 36913 Date Palm Drive, Fire Station 412 (headquarters station), located at 32100 Desert Vista Road, and Fire Station 413 (freeway station), located at 27610 Landau Boulevard. Station 411 is 5.7 miles from Var- ner and Bob Hope Drive in the northern portion of Thousand Palms. Station 412 is 3.5 miles from this in- tersection and station 413 is 5.2 miles from this location. Again, please see Map IV-1 which shows the fire stations of the City and Cal Fire in and near Thousand Palms. What is the Level of Service? The level of service should remain unchanged if the recommendations of this report are followed, specifi- cally that current service providers (County Fire through Cal Fire, and AMR) continue to provide service to Thousand Palms. Over time, if it makes economic, service and logistical sense, the City and Cal Fire might discuss co -locating in Fire Station 35, or the City continuing a contract with Cal Fire for fire service. By this time there should be enough resources to support four firefighters assigned to a Type I -Engine for initial fire attack or medical emergency whether service is provided by the City or Cal Fire. Also, whether the engine is staffed by the City or Cal Fire, there is enough room to place a Cal Fire unit at the station in addition to the Type ]-Engine. Since this decision would be made a number of years from now, there would be a substantial period of time to resolve any financial and dispatch issues if the City operated the Type I -Engine. If in several years the City provided ambulance service to Thousand Palms, there will be two firefight- er/paramedics to respond to medical emergencies. With the Type 1-engine on the scene as well, there would be 5 — 6 firefighter/paramedics to address a major medical emergency since by that time the City would be able to support either 3 — 0 or 4 — 0 staffing on the fire engine. The level of service to areas on the periphery of Thousand Palms should remain unchanged during the initial years after annexation, if the City contracts with Cal Fire for fire/EMS service. The level of service should also remain unchanged if the City assumes the role of fire/EMS service provider, but only if an automatic aid agreement between the City and the County is in place, or a full "boundary drop" is negoti- ated. Any such agreement likely would need to be supported by a cost sharing agreement, based upon a statistical analysis of the mutual benefits to the two agencies at that time. Finally, dispatch issues would need to be resolved. These issues would not likely to be addressed for several years, say in 10 - 15 years, after annexation depending upon Thousand Palms growth rate. City of Cathedrai City What are the actual response times? In responding to an emergency, the average response time goal is 8 minutes or less. More often, the re- sponse time will be 5 minutes or less. There should be no reduction in response times to Thousand Palms, whether the response is by the City or by Cal Fire. Equipment at each station The equipment assigned to Fire Station 35 in Thousand Palms is a Type 1 fire engine and a Breathing Support apparatus, often referred to a Light and Air Unit. If and when the City provides service at this Sta- tion, there would be assigned a Type 1 fire engine, with crew, and a medic ambulance, with crew. The equipment assigned to the Cathedral City Fire Stations includes: • Fire Station 411: A Type 1 fire engine, medic ambulance, and a reserve medic ambulance; Fire Station 412: A Type 1 fire engine and two reserve medic ambulances; and • Fire Station 413: A Type 1 fire engine, a reserve Type 1 fire engine (OES), and a medic ambu- lance. The City is currently purchasing a Type 1 fire engine which will be delivered in April. At that time one of the current Type 1 engine will be placed in reserve. What additional facilities and personnel will be required to maintain the existing level of ser- vice? If required, how will these facilities and personnel be financed? The basic facility, equipment, and staffing infrastructure to service Thousand Palms now and in the future are already in place. Exceptions to this are plans already in place by both agencies for the construction of future fire stations. Cathedral City plans to construct a fire station in its "North City" planning area immedi- ately north of Thousand Palms. This station and equipment will be financed by developer exactions and staffing will be funded by tax revenue produced from "North City" when it develops. County Fire (Cal Fire) when they prepared the "Thousand Palms Response Overview — C" shows a future fire station in Palm Desert, just on the other side of the freeway from Thousand Palms, southerly of the Cook StreeU1-10 interchange. It appears that about 40% of its initial response area would be to the middle portion of Thousand Palms. If Cathedral City annexes Thousand Palms and if this Palm Desert station is constructed, then there may be a need for the two cities to discuss shared construction costs. If a shared construction agreement is not negotiated, Cal Fire and Palm Desert may seek another site for the station. However, Cathedral City should be able to share financing a portion of station construction and equipment, if necessary. The City's share would be paid for by the developers benefitting from this station, either through the City's Building Development Fees, developer exactions, or by an assessment district for this and other infrastructure im- provements. Any shared staffing expense should be funded through taxes produced by new develop- ment_ Identify any fire service inter -agency agreements that would apply to the annexation area. There are potential fire service/EMS inter -agency agreements which would be required if Thousand Palms were annexed by Cathedral City. The nature of these agreements would depend upon which fire service option is pursued and adopted. If, in the initial years of annexation, fire service is provided by Cal Fire and ambulance service is offered by either Cal Fire or by American Medical Response, the following agreements would need to be devel- oped: An agreement between the City and Riverside County, or possibly Cal Fire directly, to provide fire service to Thousand Palms. It is assumed that the service level will be at its present level and generally at the cost estimated in this report's fiscal analysis. 2. An agreement with Cal Fire, or American Medical Response; to provide ambulance service. Contracting with Cal Fire could be the preferred option since they already provide ambulance service under contract with other cities in the Coachella Valley. The advantage of contracting through the County for service by AMR is that there would be no cost to the City for this ser- vice. In any case, the City should maintain control over the provision of ambulance service in the newly annexed area through a service contract in order to maintain the City's current am- bulance service. By so doing, the City will be able to provide ambulance service to Thousand Palms in the future as discussed in other portions of this report. 3. A potential cost sharing agreement with the City of Palm Desert for the construction and pos- sible operation of a fire station which would partly serve Thousand Palms. If, at some point several years from now, the City provides direct fire and ambulance service to Thousand Palms, the following agreements likely will be necessary: An automatic aid agreement, or even an agreement to secure a boundary drop, for those ar- eas served by Cal Fire to serve not only Thousand Palms, but areas on the periphery of this community. In turn, this will enable responses from stations on the periphery of Thousand Palms into Thousand Palms. This agreement should include a cost sharing formula with the County Fire depending upon the mutual benefit of this agreement between the two agencies at the time the agreement is negotiated. Also, the dispatch issue would need to be resolved. 2. A potential cost sharing agreement with the City of Palm Desert for the construction and pos- sible operation of a fire station which would partly serve Thousand Palms. As indicated in Chapter III whether fire service is provided by the City or Cal Fire, at build out there should be enough resources to support 3 — 0 or 4 — 0 staffing of the Type-1 fire engine as well as staffing an am- bulance at Fire Station 35, and to pay for 40% of the construction and operational cost of a future Palm Desert fire station which would partially serve Thousand Palms. Animal Shelter/Control The current shelter and animal control services are provide through Riverside County Animal Control Ser- vices. In fact, the animal shelter for the Coachella Valley is located in the Thousand Palms community at 72-050 Pet Land Place_ What will change upon annexation is that the City will need to contract with the County Animal Control for shelter and field services. As explained in Chapter II, it is expected that the cost of this service initially will be $70,000. This should preserve the current level of service to the com- munity, and will equal or exceed the level of service currently provided in Cathedral City. Utilities One purpose of the Plan for Services is to determine whether there will be adequate service to the area proposed for annexation, and whether there would be a reduction in service to the area. In connection with utility services, they are currently being provided to the Thousand Palms community either through the Coachella Valley Water District (water, sewer, and drainage), the Imperial Irrigation District (electrici- ty), or Southern California Edison (gas). A summary of these utility services, including water, sewer, drainage/flood control, electricity, gas, and solid waste collection, are summarized in this section. It should be noted that most of the information in this section is from the perspective that there will be no change in the service provider, but there eventually could be a change in land uses. Water The Coachella Valley Water District provides water, sewer, and flood control service for the Coachella Valley, including Thousand Palms. A map from the District's recently completed Water Master Plan Up- date outlines the District's boundaries is shown in Map IV-2. 461 Page r� 3 O m o C) C J m C) 0 U N o A U d c 0 m ti C U J A m E. A c 0. ~ LF a G W U t V A Vi w c � fi S � r W d c E R a City ofCatltedrai city For water service, the Thousand Palms community is served by the Coachella Valley Water District most- ly from wells southwesterly of the 1-10 freeway, although there are some wells in this unincorporated area as well. In the future, the District plans to construct a 10 million gallon reservoir immediately north of the Thousand Palms area. Further to the south, in the Classic Club area, a 24" water line has been installed to serve this facility from the other side of the 1-10. Recently, the District completed and adopted the "2010 Coachella Valley Water Management Plan Up- date," which looks at and plans for the Valley's water supply for the next 35 years. Successful implemen- tation of this Plan, which anticipates major future growth, should enable the Thousand Palms area and the rest of the Valley to have a sufficient source of water during this time period. To provide the water supply for future development of the Thousand Palms community, developers will be required to install needed facilities for their area related to water storage and distribution. They will also be required to pay an infrastructure charge and a supplemental water supply charge. Together, water and sewer charges currently amount to $10,000 - $12,000 per residential lot (.25 acre). A developer will re- ceive credits against these fees for any basic water infrastructure improvements constructed in advance of their normal installation. These fees and improvements are usually considered the normal "cost of business." They often are fi- nanced by various bonding mechanisms, such as assessment districts to serve the area being devel- oped. Since the area being annexed is being served by an existing water district, further information for water service from the LAFCO Plan of Services Checklist does not need to be provided. This Plan of Services does not recommend any change in the water service provider to Thousand Palms. Sewer (Wastewater) Services The Coachella Valley Water District also provides sewer service to the Thousand Palms community. The main trunk sewer starts at Bob Hope Drive and flows to Sewer Treatment Plant #7 in Indio. This plant has a capacity of 5,000,000 gallons, but its capacity could be easily upgraded if and when needed. Also, as growth occurs, there may be a need to upgrade the main trunk sewer line. In the future, there will be a need to construct a new main trunk sewer from Desert Hot Springs to Rio del Sol. A builder constructing new development in Thousand Palms will be required to construct needed sewer lines to connect to the main sewer as well as to pay a Sanitation Capacity charge. As some individual residential lots have been constructed, septic tanks have been allowed to be installed in this area. Basically, through the District's facilities, the current and future Thousand Palms community can be served by the District. Similar to water service, since sewer service will continue to be provided by the existing water district, additional information required by the LAFCO Plan of Services Checklist does not need to be provided. The Plan of Services for Thousand Palms does not recommend any change to the provision of sewer or wastewater services to the area proposed to be annexed. Drainage/Flood Control The Coachella Valley Water District has spent the past 15 years working with the U.S. Army Corps of En- gineers to develop a master drainage plan for the Thousand Palms area. The design of this plan is esti- mated as 90% complete. Recently, the District took over total responsibility for completing the design of the plan, and it is anticipated that the design and related environmental documents will be completed dur- ing the next 12 — 18 months. The entire Thousand Palms area is in flood zones of one, two, or three feet. So, currently, if a person de- sires to build a new home, they must elevate the building pad, the height of which depends upon which flood zone in which they are located. The construction of a major new development will require elevation of the entire building site as well as allowing the flow through of surface water drainage. This is similar to what was required southeast of this area in Palm Desert Sun City, where the golf courses act as flood control channels, accepting surface water runoff and allowing it to flow through the project. de �13 Qv of Catlieciral City The flood control project for Thousand Palms, based on a 100-year flood event, is estimated to cost $70,000,000. It will consist of levees and excavated channels, beginning at Rio del Sol, and stretching to the Mirasera Flood Control Channel at Avenue 38. Reach 1 Levee will stretch from Rio del Sol just past Vista De Oro, north of 30th Avenue. Reaches 2 and 3 are east of Vista del Oro, and will cover the areas north and south of Ramon Road, down to Cook Street and Calle Tosca. There, storm water will flow through an excavated channel past Xavier School to the Classic Club Golf Course. Past the golf course there is the Reach 4 Levee and excavated channel to the Mirasera Flood Control Channel. The construction timing of this flood control project is unknown, since its implementation depends on funding. Likely, it would be financed by federal funds as well as some measure of the district's property tax revenue. In the meantime, storm water drainage can be accommodated following the rules and re- quirements of the Water District. There are no requirements in the LAFCO Plan of Services Checklist for providing the service of storm water runoff protection. Nevertheless, the current provision drainage for this area is described in this Plan of Services. The Plan does not propose any change in the control or authority over storm water runoff for the Thousand Palms community. This responsibility will remain with the District. Electricity The Imperial Irrigation District (IID) provides electrical service to portions of the Coachella Valley, with the rest of the Valley served by Southern California Edison. This service authority is based on a 1934 agree- ment between IID and the Coachella Valley Water District. As can be seen on the following map entitled, "Imperial Irrigation District, Coachella Valley Service Area Map," there are three service areas in the Valley. Service Area 1 includes Thousand Palms southeasterly of Rio del Sol. The area northeasterly of this road will be served by Southern California Edison. It appears that current and future electrical service will be available to the unincorporated sphere area of Cathedral City now and at build -out. The LAFCO Plan of Services Checklist does not require any additional information if there is no proposed change in the service provider, which is the case for the provision of electrical service. Natural Gas Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) provides gas service to most of Southern California, in- cluding the Thousand Palms community. Serving nearly 20,000,000 people, this utility has the capacity to provide current service to this community as well as the ability to provide service to future development. The LAFCO Plan of Services Checklist does not mention the provision of natural gas to annexed areas. This Plan of Services, however, identifies the current service provider, and, of course, recommends that no change be made in the provision of this service to Thousand Palms. Solid Waste Collection Garbage collection in both Cathedral City and Thousand Palms is provided by the Burrtec Corporation. The company has a landfill in Salton City, and transfer stations in the Cities of Coachella and Cathedral City. This latter facility is located near Thousand Palms at 70-100 Edom Hill Road. Since no change is proposed in this Plan for Services for solid waste collection, additional information regarding this service is not required by the LAFCO Plan for Services Checklist. 57 491 Page Map IV-3 — Imperial Irrigation District Map IMPERIAL IRRIGATION DISTRICT -- y ch I Coa a la Valley Service Area Map rA�.

Cur- rently, they provide a basic level of service for 49 miles of streets in this unincorporated area. With this prospective annexation, the City would assume street maintenance which would be funded by state gas tax and Measure A funds produced from this area. It is estimated currently that $358,289 will be available from these sources to maintain the area's roads upon initial annexation. It should be noted that street medians (Ramon Road) and street lights will continue to be maintained by the Recreation District. A street condition "windshield survey" was conducted by graduate students from California State Universi- ty, San Bernardin022. This information will be folded into the City's inventory of street conditions for the existing City, if annexation occurs. City funding for street maintenance will pay for basic street and sign maintenance, including traffic signal maintenance, if annexation occurs. This will include the funding of two Street Maintenance Workers as well as street maintenance services provided by contract. The annexation will eventually provide road improvements to this community as developers propose and construct projects which will require expansion or extension of existing roads or the construction of new roads. In the future, interchanges affecting this area will be constructed along the 1-10 corridor at Portola and Da Vall, using local and regional funds. Per the CVAG Master Plan all improvements funded by this Plan, including the two interchanges mentioned in this report, will be constructed by 2038. Current Provider Street maintenance is provided by Riverside County. The County maintains a current road inventory sys- tem. Based on that system, the County provides street maintenance as needed, except for Street lights and street medians on Ramon Road which are maintained by the Desert Recreation District from funds from a landscaping and lighting district. Presumably street maintenance is funded by County gas tax funds. Street sweeping is presently provided by the County. This service is funded through CSA 152. New Service Provider Except for maintenance of street lights and street medians which is provided by the Desert Recreation District, the City expects to provide street maintenance at the current service level. In addition to securing the County road inventory, this information was supplemented by a street condition "windshield survey" conducted by graduate students at California State University, San Bernardino as was just mentioned. Funding will not only provide for road maintenance, but maintenance and operation of the traffic signals as well. Regarding street sweeping, in the existing City, both arterial and residential streets are swept monthly. The arterial street sweeping is administered by the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) with funds the City receives from the Air Quality Fund. Residential street sweeping is provided by Burrtec, the solid waste service provider, through their contract with the City. Both Burrtec and CVAG contract with the firm, Clean Streets, to sweep streets in Cathedral City. Either the Burrtec contract would extend the service to Thousand Palms if that area were annexed, and the City could obtain additional grant funds for arterial sweeping, or funding through CSA 152 will be used for this service. Street maintenance will be funded by increased City gas tax funds and Measure A funds as a result of the annexation. The annexation will result in road improvements as new development occurs. Portions of ma- 22 "Thousand Palms Project," Myles Foster Barter, Christina Salazar, Emmanuel Sarpong, 2012. City of Cathedi d ChY jor arterials such as Varner Road and Ramon Road will be widened as a result of new development, and new streets will be constructed to serve new subdivisions, business parks and commercial projects. Over time, regional and local funds will be used to construct two new freeway interchanges at 1-10 and Portola and 1-10 at De Vall. Upon initial annexation, street, sign and signal maintenance will be provided by the City. Much of this work will be performed by contract, but 2.0 FTE new street maintenance positions would be created and would be devoted to provide street maintenance service to Thousand Palms. Lighting and Landscaping Limited lighting and landscaping services are provided in Thousand Palms. The Desert Recreation Dis- trict administers a beneficial assessment district which funds the maintenance of a median landscaping along Ramon Road between Varner and Monterey. It also pays for the maintenance and operation of 239 street lights in the community. As pointed out elsewhere in this Plan for Services, the landscaping and lighting functions takes only a small part of the funding from the assessment district. The main focus of the assessment district is to fund the maintenance and operation of the park and community center. The Plan for Services recommends that there be no change in the service provider for this limited lighting and landscaping service. If the annexation occurs, however, the District and City should explore whether it would be mutually beneficial for the City to provide this maintenance activity, since the City has staff already performing this type of work in the existing Cathedral City. Leisure Services In response to LAFCO's Plan of Services Checklist, the required information for leisure services, such as parks, recreation, and library, is provided in the following section. Parks and Recreation The current service provider for parks and recreation services in Thousand Palms is the Desert Recrea- tion District, also previously known when it was created in 1950 as the Coachella Valley Recreation and Park District. The District has a Sphere of Influence of 1,800 square miles and serves approximately 275,000 people. It serves 16 communities, including Thousand Palms, with a service area ranging from Bob Hope Drive on the north to the Salton Sea on the south. The District is funded by program revenue (34%), property taxes (32%), benefit assessment districts (13%), and other revenue sources (21 %)23. In Thousand Palms the District operates and maintains a community park and community center at 31- 189 Robert Road. The land for the park is owned by the Palm Springs School District, with the improve- ments owned by the District. The improvements were funded by the Riverside County Economic Devel- opment Agency. Immediately to the north of the park, Legacy Homes is dedicating an additional 13 unde- veloped park acres, although basic infrastructure to support park developed is in place such as water, sewer, and sidewalks. The currently improved park consists of softball fields with soccer field overlays, and a limited number of picnic benches. The community center is open Monday — Friday from 8:00 a.m. — 5:00 p.m., and fee based classes are held at this location as well as community meetings. The basic cost for the operation and maintenance of the park and community center is from a Thousand Palms based benefit assessment district. The assessment district not only provides for the operation and maintenance of the park and community center, but also provides funding to maintain the median on Ra- mon Road from Varner to Monterey, and to maintain and operate 239 street lights. 23 Coachella Valley Recreation and Park District Master Plan. City (f Cathellral City Cathedral City has a limited recreation and park function. This function is restricted to maintaining certain park facilities in the City funded by Landscaping and Lighting Districts. The City does not directly operate any recreation programs, with that function assumed by volunteer organized sports programs, such as AYSO soccer. Upon annexation of this area, the City could assume the District's share of the property tax in Thousand Palms, and could operate the facilities using that tax as well as funds from the benefit assessment district. Since the City; however, does not have the "organizational infrastructure" to oversee and administer basic recreation programs, and the District has a well established parks and recreation function, this Plan of Services recommends that the Desert Recreation District continue to provide parks and recreation ser- vices, including administering the community park and community center, and maintaining the Ramon Road median strip and the area's street lights. As new development occurs, based on this recommendation, there is the issue of whether the District or City's park standards and fee structure would be used in obtaining park land and improvements from de- velopers. The District's practice is to defer to the standards and fees of the City in which the improve- ments will be constructed. In other words, the City would be responsible for accomplishing new park facili- ties through developer fees, dedications, and exactions, and then turning those improvements over to the District for administration and operation. The City has an advantage in achieving these improvements in that it is not limited to only to provisions of the State Quimby Act like the Recreation District, The City also has the ability to charge Development Impact Fees for park and other improvements, which authority the District does not have. These fees are listed on Tables II-C and II-D in Chapter II. Also, as pointed out in Table III-F, the Thousand Palms area would produce a significant amount of one-time revenue for parks, community centers, and swimming pools. Library Services Library service is provided both to the City of Cathedral City and the Thousand Palms community by the Riverside County Library System. The City's library is located at 33520 Date Palm Drive, and is open dai- ly except Friday, for a total of 44 hours a week. The size of the library is 20,000 square feet and it con- tains approximately 81,000 volumes. The Thousand Palms library is located at 31189 Robert Road, and is open every day except Friday and Sunday, for a total of 40 hours a week. The library has 4,500 square feet. Both libraries use the same catalogue system. Since the two branch libraries are operated as part of the larger County Library System, and since it likely would not be cost effective for the City to create its own library department, the Plan of Services recom- mends no change in the service provider for Thousand Palms. Schools Public schools are provided by the Palm Springs Unified School District (PSUSD) to the Thousand Palms community. There are also private schools in the area, such as Xavier High School. In Thousand Palms, PSUSD staffs and operates the Della S. Lindley Elementary School. The area is also served through the 12"' grade at other schools within the District. Regarding developer impact fees for public schools, after June 23, 2012, the PSUSD fees will be $.51 per square foot for commercial development, $3.44 per square foot for new residential, and $3.20 per square foot for additions to existing residential structures of 500 square feet or more. It appears that PSUSD has the authority, capacity, and funding to provide public elementary through high school education to the Thousand Palms community, now and in the future. LAFCO's Plan for Services Checklist does not require the provision of information about education. This basic information, however, is provided due to the size of the proposed annexation. City ity of Cathcdral City Summary In the following table, the various services currently provided to Thousand Palms are listed, indicating whether the current service provider will continue to provide that service, or whether Cathedral City will be the new service provider.

Transportation Cathedral City Lighting/Landscaping ✓ Desert Recreation District Leisure Services Parks and Recreation ✓ Desert Recreation District Library Services ✓ County Libraa System Schools ✓ Palm Springs Unified School District Financial Services Current Providers Services provided by the County to Thousand Palms are financed by various general revenues received by the County such as property taxes, sales taxes, and the structural fire tax. There are also special rev- enues which support street maintenance such as gas tax funds and Measure A funds. The Desert Recreation District maintains the park, community center, street lights, and the median on Ramon Road as well as operates programs at the park and community center. This maintenance and programming is funded by a beneficial assessment district. Other services, such as various utilities, are supported by various fees and charges New Service Provider The general taxes which would be received by the City if it annexed Thousand Palms include: • The City's share of the property tax per the Master Property Tax Agreement with the County; • Structural Fire Tax; • Property Transfer Tax; • Property Tax In -lieu Vehicle License Fee; • Sales Tax; Cit}- of C7the617'U1 Cu)! • Utility Use Tax; • Franchise Fee; • Fines and Forfeitures; and • Transient Occupancy Tax. The level of these taxes for those living in Thousand Palms will remain the same upon annexation. How- ever, new to this annexed area are the following taxes: • Transactions and Use Tax which imposes a 1% transaction and use tax on City retailers. This was approved by the Cathedral City voters in June 2010, and expires September 2015, unless extended by the electorate. The projections in this report assume that it will not be extended. • A 3% utilities users tax which is applied to the use of telecommunications, cable, electricity, gas, and solid waste services. This was approved by the electorate in 2008. In terms of special assessments, such as those which accrue to the Desert Recreation District, this Plan of Services does not propose a change in these assessments or the continued flow of this revenue to the District. In terms of current bonded indebtedness applied to the unincorporated area, it would continue even if the area were annexed to the City. In terms of general bonded indebtedness of the existing City that would be extended to the annexed area, that would be a policy decision of the City Council. Overall, as pointed out in Chapter III, at build out the City's General Fund operating costs are projected to be $15,544,683. With $23,429,068 in General Fund revenue, there would be an annual surplus of $7,884,385 (See Table III — C). By adding restricted Gas Tax and Measure A funds to the operating ex- penditures, the City's budget to service Thousand Palms would total $17,009,989 (See Table III — D). Fur- ther, the City's Business Development and Development Impact Fees would produce significant one-time revenues for capital projects related to interchanges and bridges, police and fire facilities, parks and rec- reation facilities, and City improvements (See Table III — E and Table III — F). 5 Pure Cii), off' cathedl.ul city. Chapter V Annexation Process The purpose of this Chapter is to outline the procedures required to annex the unincorporated portion of Cathedral City's Sphere of Influence, the area generally known as Thousand Palms. It is undetermined if the City Council will approve submitting an annexation application for this area. This Chapter, however, outlines the steps that should be followed in case an annexation is pursued by Cathedral City. The annexation process is controlled by the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) of each coun- ty. Established in 1963, LAFCOs have the authority to approve annexations per Sections 56000 et. seq. of the California Government Code. Pursuant to Government Code Section 56425, LAFCO is required, as a planning tool, to identify logical municipal providers for areas throughout the County where services are currently provided or will be pro- vided within the short and mid-term. As part of this process, LAFCO is required to establish Spheres of Influence (SOI) for all cities and special districts. In this connection, on January 27, 2011, and on Sep- tember 21, 2011, the Riverside LAFCO approved two separate expansions to Cathedral City's SOI to in- clude the entire area evaluated by this report, and is shown on the map found on Exhibit A in Chapter I of this report. Regarding the annexation of property within the City's SOI, LAFCO's Policies and Procedures24 pro- scribes in Section 2.3.8 that "LAFCO shall encourage all developed urban land inside a city's sphere of influence to annex to the City."25 Further, Section 2.2.1 of LAFCO's Policies and Procedures provides, in part, that "... LAFCO will evaluate proposals for changes of organization with the following hierarchy in mind (in descending order of prefer- ence)." This hierarchy provides, in order of preference: 1. Annexation to an existing city, 2. Annexation to an existing multiple purpose or single purpose special district (paragraphs b and c), 3. Formation of a County Service Area (paragraph d), 4. Incorporation of a new City (paragraph f), or 5. Maintaining an unincorporated community (paragraph g)26. It is clear according to LAFCO's adopted policies that the first preference for annexing urban land within an existing city's SOI is to that city. It is therefore appropriate to understand the specific steps that will be necessary to achieve that annexation, if Cathedral City decides to pursue such a course of action. Steps Toward Annexation If the City of Cathedral City determines that it would be advantageous to annex the unincorporated area in its SOI. in all or in part, the steps summarized in the following paragraphs would need to be followed. It should be noted that LAFCO staff may vary these steps slightly based on the specific annexation pro- posal. The following steps also assume that the City would be the applicant for the annexation. The City mails a notice to interested agencies at least 20 days before the City Council adopts a resolution to submit an annexation application to LAFCO. 24 LAFCO Policies and Procedures. Riverside Local Agency Formation Commission, August 26, 2004. 25 Ibid., p. 10. 26 Ibid, p. 7. j,i r'(.c Cit. 0"C atircciral City 2. The City resolution will include the following information and related materials: • Resolution/Petition • Map • Pre -zoning • Legal description • Processing fees ($13,800, LAFCO processing fee; $1,000 deposit, and $137/hour, County Surveyor charge for reviewing annexation legal description; $3,500, State Board of Equalization; possible miscellanous fees from the Registrar of Voters and County GIS) • A Plan for Services • CEQA documents, as applicable • Resolutions by the affected agencies (City and County) agreeing to a transfer/split of the ad valorem property tax revenues generated in the subject territory 3. LAFCO reviews the application. This review includes: • Determination that the application is complete • Notice to the City that the application is complete or incomplete_ In the latter case, the City can revise the application to ensure that the application is complete to the satisfaction of the LAFCO Executive Officer. 4. After the annexation is determined to be complete, the following steps should be taken: • LAFCO notices the County Assessor of the proposal • The Assessor determines which Tax Rate Areas (TRA) are involved and calculates the total assessed valuation (AV) of the affected territory • The Assessor issues a report of the TRAs and AV to the County Auditor • The Auditor determines the total property tax revenues for the area proposed for annexation and issues a report to the City and the County of the total revenues j� involved 27. • The City and County are notified that they have 60 days to reach an agreement on the transfer of property tax revenue from the County to the City, although the Master Property Tax Agreement, if one exists for a particular city, can be used for this purpose. 5. Upon determination by the LAFCO Executive Officer that the application is complete, the Ex- ecutive Officer issues a Certificate of Filing and sets a hearing date for the proposed annexa- tion. 6. A notice of Commission hearing is given by the Executive Officer by posting, publication to property owners and registered voters within the boundaries of the area proposed to be an- nexed at least 21 days before the hearing date. If over 2,000 notices are required, a 1/8 page display ad may be used in lieu of mailed notice. 7. The LAFCO Commission holds a public hearing on the proposed annexation, considering the staff report, testimony of affected agencies and parties, the Plan of Service, and CEQA doc- umentation. The Commission may make the following determinations: • Approve the application 27 This information has already been estimated as part of this report, however, the Auditor will complete the precise and official final amount as part of the formal annexation process. Oily al'C:'c.•Ihcr�r•rrl r 0 Approve the application subject to terms and conditions, or • Deny the application. 8. Assuming that the Commission approves the application or approves it subject to terms and conditions, LAFCO adopts a resolution making these determinations, approving the applica- tion, and sending a copy of the resolution to the applicant, in this case, the City. The Com- mission also directs the Executive Officer to conduct a protest hearing. 9. The Executive Officer gives notice of posting, publication or mail to property owners and reg- istered voters of a protest hearing at least 21 days before the date of the hearing. 10. The Executive Officer holds a protest hearing. Written protests must be filed on a LAFCO protest form with the Executive Officer prior to the conclusion of the hearing. The results of the written protest will be determined by the Executive Officer within 30 days of the hearing. 11. The outcome of the protest hearing is determined solely by the level of written protest re- ceived, as follows: < 25% and < 25% landowner protest — the proposal will be completed without an election; If there is a 25 — 50% voter protest, or a 25% or more landowner protest, the proposal will be ordered subject to an election conducted by the City; • If there is a voter protest of 50% or more, the proceedings will be terminated. 12. If any of the conditions in Step 11 are met, an election is held among the registered voters in the subject area only, and not within the existing City. 13. If the majority of voters approve the annexation, LAFCO sends a Certificate of Completion to the County Recorder's Office, and upon satisfaction of all terms and conditions specified in the Commission's Resolution. The annexation is complete upon recordation of the Certificate of Completion. 14. If there is insufficient protest to force an election, or if the voters approve the annexation, LAFCO then sends the Certificate of Completion to the County Recorder's Office, and upon satisfaction of all terms and conditions specified in the Commission's Resolution. The annex- ation is complete upon recordation of the Certificate of Completion. These steps to achieve annexation of the unincorporated area in Cathedral City's SOI assume that there is an affirmative action taken during each step of the process. Obviously, there are other actions which may be taken during this process, which may delay or stop the annexation. To more fully understand the options that may occur during this process, please see Chart V-I, which pre- sents a procedure diagram for annexations in accordance with the Cortese -Knox -Hertzberg Local Gov- ernment Reorganization Act of 2000. A further complexity to this process is the enactment during 2011 of SIB 244. This new law requires the inclusion of an adjacent "disadvantaged unincorporated community" (DUC) as part of any proposed an- nexation. So, if an annexation is proposed, and there is an adjacent, unincorporated inhabited area with 12 or more registered voters where the community average median household income is below 80% of the statewide annual median income,28 which is the definition of a DUC, then the City must also propose to annex the DUC as well. Under SIB 244 the LAFCO Commission is prohibited from approving the initial annexation unless an application to annex the DUC has also been filed and considered. While the Commission is not required to approve the DUC as part of the annexation application review, it empowers LAFCO to link the two decisions29. This adds a further complexity to the review process, pos- sibly increase the cost of annexations, making it more difficult for a City to pursue an annexation without 28 Water Code Section 79505.5. 29 C&L Newsletter; Update on Public Law, Winter 2012. Cify<?fCu117ech 11Lin• considering the needs of an adjacent unincorporated, disadvantaged community. Unfortunately, but pre- dictably, this new mandate is unfunded by the State. As it applies to this proposed annexation, SB 244 may preclude the City proposing to annex only a por- tion of its unincorporated SOL This is a very preliminary conclusion, however, since SB 244 has been in effect for only a few months and the data and processes necessary to implement this law have not been fully evaluated by LAFCOs statewide. Riverside County LAFCO has been attempting to identify "disad- vantaged unincorporated communities" throughout the County. They are working with the County's Cen- ter for Demographic Research to determine the best manner to obtain pertinent income data for the mul- tiple small areas where SB 244 might apply throughout the County. Preliminary information released by LAFCO seems to indicate that possibly portions of the City's SOI could be annexed rather than the entire unincorporated Thousand Palms community. Besides SB 244, one requirement of the initial LAFCO application is to "pre -zone" the area prior to con- sideration of the annexation application by the Commission. The most expeditious method to accomplish pre -zoning is to use the existing County zoning. It should be noted, however, that state law requires zon- ing designated during the pre -zoning process remain in place for two years. Therefore, it may be benefi- cial for the City to pre -zone its unincorporated SOI before submitting an annexation application to reflect the land use the City would like to see developed if the annexation process were successful. If the City was generally satisfied with the County zoning, however, and/or did not expect that the significant amount of vacant property in this area would see near -term development, use of County zoning could satisfactori- ly meet the City's interests. If a pre -zoning process is initiated, it is expected that any zoning plans will be reviewed by the Thousand Palms Community Council. Again, this chapter has presented the necessary steps for processing an annexation of its unincorporated SOI area, if the City decides to pursue such an annexation. It is designed to be a guide for the process which may be required if such an annexation application is filed. i Cily of Catln;ilrol Chi, CORTESE-KNOX-HERTZBERG LOCAL GOVERNMENT REORGANIZATION ACT OF 2000 ANNEXATIONIDETACHMENTIREORGANIZATION PROCEDURE DIAGRAM COMMISSION PROCEEDINGS AGENCY PRE -NOTICE May be initiated by (eSOIUtOn 07 r NOTICE Or INTENT Noised nonce by proponent to II TO CIRCULATE PETITION i sutjeul and intotested ageixirs - pplicatinrl by affected agency, or petition with required signature Of landowners or I Must be filed with ExeCLII it sPion o0 ounl befcre 9 i Officer prior to cirrulaUon raf rr±yt�luhon adoption unless tW°;( registsfed voters. i consent (optionat). ; the petition. !

Dear Ms. Romo, We have received your letter dated June 5, 2014 requesting additional information for the NCESP/Plan of Services. We have provided our responses for additional information below to be included as an addendum to the Plan of Services. Also included as an attachment is an updated cover to the Plan of Services signed by the City Manager to confirm the City has reviewed and approved this addendum. Water Services • A Water Supply Assessment has been prepared and approved by Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) on January 14, 2014. A copy of this report is included as an attachment for your files. • The NCESP is not included in the Coachella Valley Water Management Plan 2010 Update or the 2010 Urban Water Management Plan, these documents were updated in 2010 and the NCESP Water Supply Assessment was approved on January 14, 2014: The project is not included in any other planning documents except the North City Extended Specific Plan and Draft EIR. Upon the approval of the WSA it was deemed in compliance with both the CVWMP 2010 Update and the 2010 UWMP. The approving resolution states the following: `Me project will incorporate the elements of the 2010 Coachella Valley Water Management Plan Update (2010 CVWMP Update)and the 2010 Urban Water Management Plan (2010 UWMP). The urban water supply will come from the Whitewater River Subbasin for indoor and outdoor use. 34200 BOB HOPE DRIVE ■ RANCHO MIRAGE ■ CALIFORNIA ■ 92270 Ms. Adriana Romo June 19, 2014 Page 2 of 3 • Per the 2010 CVWD Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) existing urban water demand is at 109,488 AFY. Projected urban water demand in the 2010 UWMP Update for the year 2035 is 242,700 AFY. Adding in groundwater recharge and non-potable water demands (Agriculture, golf course and municipal), these demand estimates for 2035 are 588,700 AFY and 689,400 AFY respectively. The estimated water demand within the NCESP is 1,310 AFY. • The CVWD 2010 UWMP lists groundwater for 2010 Urban Water Use as 109,488 AFY for year 2010 and 125,700 AFY for year 2015. Wastewater Service • The total sewer loadings for the NCESP are 530 gallons per minute (gpm) annual average flow and 1,030 gpm peak-dry weather flow. The peak wet- weather flow is 1,591 gpm. Fire Protection Services • Approximate location of the future fire station within the North City Extended Specific Plan area would be northwest of the intersection of Bob Hope Drive and Valley Center Boulevard. • Terms of an agreement between Cal Fire and City Fire for the provision of fire service is pending approval by Riverside County Counsel. A signed agreement will be provided prior to the LAFCO hearing. • Individual project plans shall be reviewed by the Cathedral City Fire Department prior to approval of each development to assess fire protection needs based on the type, intensity, and sequence of land uses as they emerge within the NCESP. As the construction of new buildings is proposed, the City will evaluate the demand for service along with funding available. The timeframe for a new fire station is directly related to the progress of new building construction which would generate impact fees to fund a new station. In addition, development projects will conform to the Uniform Fire Code, the Uniform Building Code, and other state and national code provisions regarding building construction. Conformity with these codes will depend of the type and intensity of land uses developed within the NCESP that will, in turn, influence the level of fire protection and adequacy of emergency response times. 34200 BOB HOPE DRIVE i RANCHO MIRAGE ■ CALIFORNIA ■ 92270 -740 11n nQ I I - '7(n 111 -70n'2 ,- " - ..,,,r AAC A(`r.,. . -,.—I—, -r Ms.Adriana Romo June 19, 2014 Page 3 of 3 Police Service • Average response times from the Riverside County Palm Desert Sheriff Station to unincorporated areas is 6.5 minutes for Priority 1, 15.5 minutes for Priority 2, 47.3 minutes for Priority 3 and 31 minutes for Priority 4 calls.

INTRODUCTION SDC Ventura, LLC proposes the annexation of approximately 590 acres of land within the City of Cathedral City Sphere of Influence. The proposed annexation site is currently in unincorporated territory under the jurisdiction of Riverside County. The site is located north of Interstate 10 along the Varner Road corridor, and is defined by Bob Hope Drive/Rio Del Sol Road on the east and Section 16 on the west. The proposed project would serve as an easterly extension of the previously adopted and annexed North City Specific Plan (July 2009). Cathedral City has developed almost entirely to the south of 1-10 and is largely built-out. Significant growth is expected to continue in the City and the Coachella Valley. Continuing population growth and economic development opportunities create ongoing development needs on vacant land north of and along, the 1-10 corridor. Future development of the project area incorporates two of the new zoning districts established in the North City Specific Plan, and incorporates other districts of the existing Cathedral City Municipal Code. The zoning districts to be applied and implemented are summarized: • Mixed Use Urban (MU-U) takes advantage of freeway visibility and accessibility to capture regional and community scale projects, and provide for higher density housing such as condominiums, apartments and mixed use options. • Mixed Used Neighborhood(MU-N) provides for neighborhood-serving commercial uses and a variety of lower density housing types including apartments, town homes and single family residences. • Light Industrial (L-1) Per Chapter 9.40 of the CC Municipal Code, provides planned business campus sites for creation and tax base enhancement. • Open Space District (OS) Chapter 9.42 of the CC Municipal Code provides for the preservation of the open space network delineated within the Specific Plan, as well as provisions for solar and wind energy generation. The project's North City Extended Specific Plan (NCESP) features several flexible techniques for implementing feasible land development by applying one or more market responsive tools as economic conditions fluctuate throughout the build-out phasing of the project. The basic framework for this flexibility lies within the provisions of the Mixed Use Urban (MU-U) and Mixed Use Neighborhood (MU-N) zoning districts. Within this framework, two other tools are proposed to be created and applied as market conditions fluctuate: Transfer of Development Rights(TDR) is the application of a City TDR Ordinance that allows the shifting densities from sites within designated Stormwater Retention Basins to developable sites outside of the basins through a negotiated transaction, thus preserving required retention 3 City of Cathedral City Annexation Plan Of Services basin sites as Open Space while owners of those properties can realize negotiated compensation through density bonuses on other developable properties. • Land Use Equivalency Program (LUE) identifies and quantifies a set of rules for exchanging land uses, one for another, such that any exchange does not increase PM peak hour traffic trips nor increase Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) emissions above regional thresholds established by SCAQMD. The North City Extended Specific Plan and EIR have been prepared as a private developer initiated effort in response to this growing demand for future development. The City of Cathedral City is in support of the North City Extended project and feels that it is fully coordinated with the original North City Specific Plan, as an extension of that plan, to facilitate and encourage development and improvements to help realize the community's vision for this area. The Plan of Service is being submitted in fulfillment of the requirements contained within the Riverside Local Agency Formation Commission application procedure for annexations. This Plan of Services analyzes the proposed annexation and determines the impact of the cost/benefit relationship of the services required by the property in the City of Cathedral City. Included with the analysis is a brief evaluation of the service needs for the proposed uses of the site, and the extent to which the services and their providers will be affected. II. EXISTING SETTING The project proposes a Specific Plan (SP) Zoning District of Mix Use Neighborhood (MU-N), Mixed Use Urban (MU-U), Light Industrial (LI) and Open Space (OS) (Exhibit 3). The current General Plan land use designation under the Riverside County Integrated Plan (RCIP) is Industrial Park (IP) and Controlled Development (W-2), the County zoning designation is Industrial Park (IP). See Exhibit 4 and 5 for reference. The project site is vacant undeveloped land and dominated by natural desert terrain. The site is located within lower alluvial areas of the Indio Hills to the north, and contains Sonoran Creosote bush scrub habitat. Surrounding land uses include vacant Cathedral City desert property to the west, Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians vacant tribal property to the north. The part of the Thousand Palms Community located to the east of the project is characterized by industrial business park, relatively low density single family detached residential, highway oriented business and restaurants, a County Fire Station and community center/library campus. At project buildout, the NCESP could accommodate a unique blend of Mixed Use Development (MXD) with an equivalent of up to 200,000 square feet retail/commercial buildings; 120,000 square feet of restaurants; 190,000 square feet of office/service buildings; 595 square feet of light industrial; 400 hotel rooms and 3,200 residential units. Further, a total of 240.44 acres of Open Space or 40% of the NCESP would be preserved and maintained for use as stormwater 4 City of Cathedral City Annexation Plan Of Services retention basins, community and neighborhood parks with public recreational facilities, and a network of bikeways, multi-use pathways and pedestrian walkways. The buildout of this mixed use community is anticipated to be phased over a fifteen to twenty year period. The overall phasing of this development is anticipated to generally proceed east to west along the south side of Varner Road corridor, starting in the Bob Hope Drive/Rio Del Sol Road area on the east and grow westward toward Section 16. The phased timing for the construction of each Planning Area is contained in the Project's Phasing Table below and shown in Exhibit 3.

PROPOSED USE SDC Ventura, LLC proposes the annexation of a 590 +/- acre mixed use development located in the Cathedral City Sphere of Influence. The North City Extended Specific Plan (NCESP) and Environmental Impact Report has been completed and adopted by the City of Cathedral City (January 2014), the Specific Plan builds upon and extends the land use planning approach and community design guidelines of the original North City Specific Plan, previously adopted by Cathedral City (July 2009), and further establishes the strong economic, transportation and lifestyle connections between the North City area and the existing Cathedral City community south of 1-10. IV. MUNICIPAL/AGENCY SERVICES REQUIRED BY THE PROJECT This Plan of Services analyzes the proposed annexation and determines the impact of the cost/benefit relationship of the services required by the property in the City of Cathedral City. Included with the analysis is a brief evaluation of the service needs for the proposed uses of the site, and the extent to which the services and their providers will be affected. The Plan addresses the following services affected by the annexation: • Water Services • Waste Water • Solid Waste • Roadways • Law Enforcement • Fire Protection • Parks and Recreation • Schools • Public Library • Electrical Services • Natural Gas • Telephone Service • Cable Services A Fiscal Analysis is required of projects greater than 100 acres in size. A Fiscal Analysis dated April 29, 2014 was prepared for the project by David Taussig &Associates and accompanies this Plan of Services. 11 City of Cathedral City Annexation Plan Of Services V. WATER SERVICE PLAN Water services will be provided by Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD). The water district serves the upper and lower Coachella Valley which includes the City of Cathedral City. CVWD covers 640,000 acres and provides 100,000 domestic water connections for homes and business. Water is supplied from wells drilled into an aquifer with a capacity estimated at 39.2 million acre feet. The water related services provided to most of the valley include irrigation water, fire protection system and domestic water delivery, wastewater reclamation and recycling. Existing Services The site is currently vacant undeveloped land. Existing infrastructure includes a CVWD operated 36-inch diameter water line in Rio Del Sol Road north of Varner Road and an 24-inch diameter water line in Varner Rd. Based on the grade elevations, the NCESP is located within the Sky Mountain Pressure Zone (SMPZ). CVWD has procured easements across the subject property for the future installation of transmission mains to connect the future reservoirs north of Vista Chino on Rio Del Sol Rd to expand the SMPZ and to connect to the existing Mission Hills Pressure Zone (MHPZ) on the south side of 1-10. Per analysis provided by CVWD the current SMPZ cannot support this project or other large projects without infrastructure improvements including additional supply wells, transmission mains and reservoir storage. Improvement Requirement Buildout of the NCESP will cause an increase in the demand of potable water. CVWD has evaluated the domestic water storage transmission main needs for the SMPZ to serve the entire pressure zone at built-out. As a result the following improvements will be required: • 16.7 million gallons (MG) of domestic water storage at a proposed CVWD reservoir site located north of 1-10 and east of the intersection of Rio Del Sol Road and Vista Chino. • A 36-inch domestic water transmission main extended from the intersection of Bob Hope Drive and Ramon Road to the proposed CVWD reservoir site. Within the SMPZ, the project proposes the development of the following building floor areas over a phased fifteen year buildout: 1, 105,000 square feet of Mixed Use and Light Industrial buildings; 400 hotel rooms; 1,300 single family residential units and 1,900 multi-family residential units. CVWD completed hydraulic modeling to determine the domestic water infrastructure improvements and verify that the requirements of the Development Design Manual (DDM) have been fulfilled. The estimated domestic water demands are 2,155 gallons per minute (gpm) for average daily demands.The projects fire flow has been estimated at 2,000 12 City of Cathedral City Annexation Plan Of Services gpm for a four-hour duration while maintaining a 20 pound per square inch (psi) operating pressure during construction. See Exhibit 7 for Density and Water Demand Table. The following improvements will be required prior to domestic water service to the NCESP: Offsite Elevated Reservoir Storage • Based upon the projected water demand and fire flow requirements, the NCESP requires 6.6 MG of storage capacity for domestic water demands, operational standby and fire flow. CVWD will require the NCESP to design and construct elevated reservoir storage with the base elevation of 435 feet prior to the installation of the first domestic water meter. CVWD may participate in upsizing the reservoir within the SMPZ and will pay the associated upsizing costs. Offsite Domestic Water Pipeline • Design and construct a 30-inch diameter ductile iron domestic water pipeline from the proposed reservoir to the existing 30-inch waterline located at the intersection of Bob Hope Drive and Ramon Road. CVWD may elect to upsize the waterline at their expense. Water Supply and Well Site • Based on the water demands, the NCESP project will requires three pumping plants to provide supply for the projects domestic water daytime demands and operational standby needs. Due to the NCESP project's land area, five (5) well sites will be required. It is anticipated that PA2, if it is the first phase of development, could be served by the existing water system. Phase 1B and future phases would require extensions and internal loops with a combination of 24, 18 and 12-inch mains to be installed as part of the project infrastructure as development occurs. In addition, due to the largeness of the parcels, fire systems could be required to surround the larger buildings to provide adequate fire protection. The build-out and Phase One Domestic Water system improvements are illustrated on Exhibit 8 "Existing and Proposed Water Supply Distribution Facility". Phase one water main construction is planned for the entire length of Varner Road from Bob Hope Drive/Rio Del Sol Road to the eastern edge of Retention Basin 1 in order to serve both Phase 1A and 1B. Also, water mains are planned during Phase One along the Valley Center Boulevard and North City Collectors located in PA4. The water mains along Valley Center Boulevard through PA1 will also be constructed in order to complete a loop back to Varner Road.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN Due to the site being vacant and undeveloped there are no flood prevention facilities or storm drain facilities within the NCESP. Projects developed in the NCESP are required to construct flood control basins in order to decrease flood hazard potential. There are small drainage devices located at Bob Hope Drive, including curb inlet catch basins which collect water from the street, curb and gutter. A concrete box structure collects storm water from small storm events and conveys water from the Specific Plan area south under Bob Hope Drive to an existing vacant lot on the southern side of the traveled way. Improvement Requirement Storm flows across the Specific Plan sheet flow over a wide spread area and are not concentrated in a defined channel or wash, therefore, a concrete channel storm drain system or small detention basin is not feasible. Three regional retention basins are recommended to capture and infiltrate runoff from the Riverine Drainage Area Corridor, thereby minimizing the flood potential to the Specific Plan (refer to Exhibit 9 "Preliminary Infiltration Basin" at the end of this section). Each basin shall be a shallow open design intended to provide wide runoff capture areas. Stormwater sheet flows which enter into the basins are captured and held allowing for the contained water to percolate into the soil. Below is a brief description of each basin. Infiltration Basin # 1 — The main regional retention basin is the largest of the three proposed basins. Basin #1 will be located northwest of the proposed Specific Plan improvements. The basin will span from Varner Road south to the Interstate 10 Right of Way, in order to catch sheet flow across the entire span of the Riverine Drainage Area. The upstream most edge of the basin will maintain existing grades and then gradually flow into the basin bottom which will be approximately three feet below the existing grades. The basin slope will range from 2 percent to 5 percent and be clear of brush. The basin sides will have a 22 foot wide berm with a 20 foot wide access road on top of the berm. Side slopes of the berm will be sloped at 3:1 and have a height providing a minimum of three feet of freeboard. The preliminary basin design has an approximate width of 2,000 feet wide and a length of 2,700 feet with an approximate capacity of 428 acre feet. Infiltration Basin #2 - An additional retention basin is proposed to be located just east of the larger main basin #1, described above. Basin #2 will collect stormwater runoff which sheet flows from the northern alluvial slopes which would enter the proposed project across Varner road between Basin #1 and the northern portions of the proposed project. The basin includes a 50 foot wide narrow channel adjacent to and along the south side of Varner Road. The channel will capture sheet flow crossing Varner road from the north and convey it south to the main retention area. The basin slope will range from 2 percent to 5 percent and be clear of 17 City of Cathedral City Annexation Plan Of Services brush. The basin sides will have a 22 foot wide berm with a 20 foot wide access road on top of the berm. Side slopes of the berm will be sloped at 3:1 and have a height providing a minimum of three feet of freeboard. The preliminary basin design has an approximate width of 450 feet and a length of 500 feet with an approximate capacity of 125 acre feet. Infiltration Basin #3 — An additional retention basin is proposed to be located north of the proposed Central Valley Business Park development. Basin #3 will collect stormwater runoff which sheet flows from the northern alluvial slopes. The basin slope will range from 2 percent to 5 percent and be clear of brush. The basin sides will have a 22-foot berm with a 20-foot wide access road on top of the berm. Side slopes of the berm will be sloped at 3:1 and have a height providing a minimum of three feet of freeboard. The preliminary basin design has an approximate width of 750 feet wide and a length of 450 feet with an approximate capacity of 250-acre feet, depending on the final design. The proposed debris basins would prevent conveyed sediment and debris from being transported downstream to local streets, drainage devices, and storm drains. The runoff would be captured and allowed to percolate into the soil within the proposed retention basins. The implementation of the retention basins will eliminate the proposed project's risk of flooding and therefore, would fall outside of the FEMA classifications. This would be an improvement in site conditions with no significant impact to the site from flooding. The NCESP EIR provides mitigation for FEMA processing. Additionally, the CLOMR/LOMR will revise the FEMA classification. Floodwall — Commercial 9 acre Eastern Site (PA2) Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) has indicated that a backwater condition adversely affects the 9 acre portion of the proposed development, from the Riverine flows building up south and east of the site. Review of the site and flow conditions provided by the District indicate that the 9 acre commercial site could be protected by a floodwall, located along the south and eastern boundary. Timeframe for Extension of Services No improvements will be needed at the time of annexation. Future development within the NCESP will be subject to the implementation of those basins not already installed, in accordance with CVWD, and Riverside County Flood Control. Financing of Service Improvements will be developer financed at the time the property is developed, including a payment of the appropriate CVWD fees. 18 �13" NORTH crY 't + PROPERTY I r ' 1 �T�� �- — EXISTING r 4" SHEET FLOWS ai tXI5TiN6 EARTH 0 MARVIN `i� / EXISTING PRUPER?Y I; SHEET FLOWS EXISTING EARTH ` r i E , : t.; 2 tazAR i ! :4 t 'j' 'Ir'' "^� .1 �::. •\ PROPERTY - ..

WASTEWATER SERVICE PLAN Wastewater services in the Cathedral City corporate limits, including the proposed NCESP project site, are provided by the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD). Existing Services CVWD currently has six water reclamation plants (WRP) that provide reclaimed water treatment and distribution into the CVWD service area. Wastewater is conveyed through sewer lines ranging from 4 to 24 inches in diameter. CVWDs three largest WRPs (WRP-10, WRP-7, and WRP-4) currently treat a combined daily average of 16 million gallons per day (mgd). Water Reclamation Plant 7 would serve the proposed project. This plant is located in North Indio at the corner of Avenue 38 and Madison Street. The plant is a 5.0 mgd secondary treatment facility with a current tertiary treatment capacity of 2.5 mgd. The plant consists of aeration basins, circular clarifiers, polishing ponds and filtration. Per the CVWD 2010 Urban Water Management Plan Update, a plant expansion is currently under design that will increase the plant capacity to 7.5 mgd. There is currently an existing 15-inch CVWD sanitary sewer main running northwest to southeast on the northerly section of the subject property. This sewer main crosses 1-10 to the north, increases to 24" and flows in Varner Road easterly to Avenue 38. Treatment takes place at WRP7 located on Avenue 38 in Indio. See Exhibit 7 for existing CVWD water and wastewater facilities. Improvement Requirement The annexation of 590 acres will add demand and increased services to CVWD wastewater. The existing 15-inch sewer main will not be sufficient to serve the entire project. At the request of MSA Consulting Inc., CVWD prepared a Preliminary Domestic Water and Sanitary Sewer Hydraulic Modeling for the proposed project (January and March 2013). The results from the modeling indicate the construction of sewer improvements will be necessary to accommodate the proposed project. The developers of the NCESP are responsible for the following off-site improvements to the sanitary sewer system: • Replace approximately 260 linear feet of an existing 15-inch sewer with a 24-inch sewer main on Varner Road east of Jack Ivey Drive. CVWD may elect to upsize this pipe to 36- inch at their expense. • Install approximately 1,600 linear feet of 24-inch sewer main on Varner Road beginning 260 feet east of Jack Ivey Drive and extending to Cook Street. CVWD may elect to upsize this pipe to 36-inch at its expense. 21 City of Cathedral City Annexation Plan Of Services Exhibit 10 "Existing and Proposed Sanitary Sewer Mains" provides pipe diameters, lengths, inverts and individual manhole loadings as assumed by CVWD staff to verify the piping meets the criteria summarized in Exhibit 7 "Density and Water Demand Table". See Exhibit 11 for Offsite Sewer Replacement. The required sewer infrastructure will comply with all applicable wastewater treatment requirements and City standards. Project developers may be required to install additional off- site sewer requirements beyond those identified above. Timeframe for Extension of Services When specific development is proposed for the project site, the wastewater impacts will be evaluated and the appropriate construction or expansion of services will be implemented. No improvements will be needed at the time of annexation. Financing of Service Project developer will pay for the costs of construction and expansion of any sewer/wastewater improvements. Developer will also complete financial arrangements with CVWD prior to CVWD providing sewer services. 22 82 GPM 6lmNom �� \ 'GPM IXISTNG 18' 3EWER MAN POINT OF `\ `\ 48 GPM �' carEcraH FOfl NORTH LEGEND ``\\�.\ I7 GPM 7 CITY SPECFlC �.. 7 IPEAK HOUR/ �4i� 1� IBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBIBU EXISTING 15'SEWER MAIN ``\ L PROPOSED 15'SEWER MAIN ����•� PROPOSED 12'SEWER MAIN �' rwc*:. -� +•+��••:^:, •• PROPOSED 10'SEWER MAID PROPOSED 8'SEWER MAIN PIPE TABLE NO.

ELECTRICAL POWER SERVICE PLAN Electric Power to the City of Cathedral City is provided by Southern California Edison (SCE). The proposed annexation site falls in SCE territory; however, Rio Del Sol Road follows the north/south section line that represents the power service territorial divide between SCE and the Imperial Irrigation District (IID). Existing Services The existing distribution overhead line begins at Bob Hope Drive and Interstate 10. It continues in a northwest direction running parallel to Interstate 10 and terminates near the east corner of Section 11. This distribution line is fed from an overhead line coming from the south side of Interstate 10. This line could potentially provide all the power needs to the project site. Improvements east of Bob Hope Drive in Planning Area 2 would be fed from the underground vault system located at Bob Hope Drive and Varner Road. Everything east of Rio Del Sol is served SCE and any improvements east of the section line in PA2 would be served by IID. It is assumed at this time that no improvements extend east of the section line. Improvement Requirement The project proposes to annex 590 +/- acres of vacant land into the City of Cathedral City. Development would occur under the North City Extended Specific Plan as a mixed-use community. Buildout of the proposed annexation site would increase the demand on SCE services. All future development will be reviewed by the City for impacts to utility services. SCE cannot make commitments to the type of improvements or costs that may be required until a detailed usage plan and layout are established; however, services will be provided to the project site. By City ordinance, most new electrical service is located underground. Timeframe for Extension of Services Connection to facilities will occur in accordance with project development of each phase. Financing of Service Any new infrastructure necessary to serve the subject property will be financed by the developer. The charges will be based on SCE's established rate schedule at the time of development. 25 City of Cathedral City Annexation Plan Of Services IX. NATURAL GAS SERVICE PLAN Natural Gas is provided by The Southern California Gas Company (SCGC) which provides service to over 20.9 million customers in more than 500 communities, including the City of Cathedral City and the proposed project site. Existing Services There is a medium pressure 4" gas main located at the intersection of Varner Road and Rio Del Sol Road coming from the east on Varner Road which would serve as the point of connection for gas. There are no other gas facilities located on the proposed project site and no special Gas Company conditions or requirements are expected. Improvement Requirement The project proposes to annex 590 +/- acres of vacant land into the City of Cathedral City. Development would occur under the North City Extended Specific Plan as a mixed-use community. Buildout of the proposed annexation site would increase the demand on SCGC services. Implementation of the project will increase the demand of natural gas consumption, which SCGC has the capacity to meet. All new development will be reviewed for their impact on utility services. Future entitlements would be reviewed by the Gas Company on an individual basis and will be required to comply with requirements, programs and fees in place at the time of development. Timeframe for Extension of Services Services will be provided at the time of project development. Financing of Service All improvements required by the Gas Company would be financed by individual developers based on the current fee schedule at the time of development. X. TELEPHONE SERVICES Verizon Communications, Inc. provides telephone service to the City of Cathedral City and would be the provider of the proposed annexation site. Existing Services Verizon reports that there is a direct buried cable system along the north side of Varner Road that is the entire length of the project site. Although the cable is active, it is insufficient to serve the site. The future pick up point of connection is a Verizon manhole located at Varner Road 26 City of Cathedral City Annexation Plan Of Services and Rio Del Sol Road. This connection point has the capability of serving the site; however, not able to provide FIOS service (Fiber Optic Service). Based on conditions at the time of this report, the site would most likely be fed by a copper system for typical dial tone usage and it should be assumed that FIOS will not be available. T-1, T-2 or T-3 services would be available for broadband commercial users. Improvement Requirement Build out of the proposed NCESP mixed-use community will increase the demand of phone and internet usage. Verizon indicates that it will have the capacity to meet this increase demand. All new development within the Specific Plan will be reviewed for their impact on utility services. Entitlements will be reviewed by Verizon on an individual basis and developers will be required to comply with requirements, programs and fees in place at the time of development. Timeframe for Extension of Services Services will be provided at the time of project development. Financing of Service Telephone infrastructure is provided by the service provider and is placed in a joint utility trench provided by the developer. Developers will comply with requirements, programs and fees in place at the time of development. XI. CABLE SERVICES The City of Cathedral City is served by Time Warner Cable (TWC). TWC is the second largest cable provider and offers digital technology in a range of services such as, digital cable, home phone services and high speed internet. Existing Services The nearest facility and pick up point is at the southeast corner of Varner Road and Rio Del Sol Road. Improvement Requirement The future buildout of the proposed annexation site would increase the demand on cable service. The developed area surrounding the annexation site is equipped with, and served by, TWC infrastructure. Services to the site will be available as development occurs within the project. All future entitlements and plans will be reviewed by the City for impacts to utility services. 27 City of Cathedral City Annexation Plan Of Services Timeframe for Extension of Services Connection to existing facilities will occur in accordance with the project development of the North City Extended Specific Plan. Financing of Service TWC provides the infrastructure for new development which is placed in a joint utility trench provided by the developer. Developers will be required to comply with the fees in place at the time of development. XII. POLICE SERVICES The current service provider to the project site is the Riverside County Sheriff Department. If development were to occur within this unincorporated area, the area would continue to be covered by Riverside County. The County's goal of Officer to population ratio is 1.5 per 1,000 population. However, depending on budget considerations, staff levels may vary. The current level of service to population within the Thousand Palms area is 0.75 per 1,000. The population of Thousand Palms is approximately 8,000. Thousand Palms is serviced by one patrol beat from the Sheriff's office. There are currently no sheriff facilities within the area. The closest Riverside County Sheriff's Station is located at 73705 Gerald Ford Drive, Palm Desert, and is five miles from the site. This Palm Desert Station covers the western half of the Coachella Valley's unincorporated areas. The Sheriff's Department provides all municipal police services associated with a City police department, such as criminal investigations, traffic enforcement and crime prevention. Response time goals by priority are 5 minutes for Priority One calls, 10 minutes for Priority Two calls and 15 minutes for Priority Three calls. The Sheriff's department indicates that there is one patrol deputy dedicated to Thousand Palms and its vicinity, 24 hours each day. Upon annexation, the City of Cathedral City will provide Police service to the project site. The Cathedral City Police Department (CCPD) is located at 68-700 Lalo Gurrero, Cathedral City. It is 6.3 miles from the project site. Cathedral City Police Department has 47 sworn officers and patrols approximately 21.5 square miles and currently serves over 52,000 residents. The City's patrol unit is comprised of two lieutenants, 7 sergeants, 25 patrol officers, 2 special enforcement detail officers and 1 police service aide officer. The City also has a Citizen on Patrol (COPS) division with 17 unpaid volunteers that are trained by sworn police officers in non-confrontational methods. They assist the Police Department with parking citations, traffic control for special events, first aid and emergency preparedness. Approximately 4,431 volunteer hours were provided to the CCPD for FY 2012-2013. The patrol unit is the first responder to all emergency calls. There are two shifts, day and night, and each shift is 12 hours. Day shift is from 6:OOam to 6:OOpm and night shift is from 6:OOpm to 28 City of Cathedral City Annexation Plan Of Services 6:00am. The current officer ratio is 0.8 officers per 1,000 population served and 9.5 officers on duty in a 24-hour period. It is estimated that the Cathedral City Police Department has 228 hours of patrol time x's 365 days = 83,2205 hours. CCPD uses 1,780 hours per year as the productive time per officer after subtracting for vacation, sick leave, etc., 83,220 hours divided by 1,780 hours = 46.75 sworn officers rounded up to 47 officers. Response times for Priority One emergency calls are 6.69 minutes, Priority Two is 7.96 minutes and Priority Three is 21.31 minutes. Response times may vary depending on the location of officers at the time calls come through. In addition to the Patrol and COPS division, the Cathedral City Police Department has a K-9, Detective, Special Enforcement Detail, SWAT (Combined team with Palm Springs, Indio, and Cathedral City Police Officers), Parole ad Corrections Team and a School Resource Officer. Improvement Requirement Implementation of the proposed NCESP project would result in the development of 590 acres of vacant land. As a result, it is likely that demand for police services would increase and additional personnel would be required to continue to provide adequate response times. Per City and Police Officials, a minimum of 36 patrol hours per day, which equals 1.5 police officers per shift (total of 3 shifts at 12 hours each), one sergeant and one detective would be needed to serve the community at build-out. A community facility is proposed as part of the NCESP. It is suggested that this facility could provide space for law enforcement and provide the community with limited public access. Timeframe for Extension of Services Individual development within the NCESP will be reviewed by the City of Cathedral City and be required to comply with regulations in effect at the time of building permits. This would also include the City's license tax, special tax and development impact fees imposed on all new construction. Financing of Service The City's budget for law enforcement services for Fiscal 2013-2014 is $13.2 million. The cost of providing police service comes through the General Fund and the City-established Communities Facilities District (CFD). The CFD applies an annual fee of $600 to each new dwelling unit (d/u) for projects larger than four d/u's. It also includes a fee of $13.99 per square foot for non-retail commercial and industrial uses. Fees also include the City's Development Impact Fee (DIF) imposed on all new construction. Individual developments within the NCESP would be required to pay into the Fire and Police Facilities and Equipment Fund. As a result, sufficient revenue would be available for necessary improvements to provide for acceptable police and public safety services. 29 City of Cathedral City Annexation Plan Of Services XIII. FIRE SERVICES A full range of fire protection services are offered by Riverside County Fire Department 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The Riverside County Fire Department (RCFD) is staffed with a combination of State of California Department of Forestry & Fire Protection firefighters. Together they operate 96 fire stations that serve 1,360,000 residents over 6,970 miles of Riverside County. Currently, Fire Station No. 35, located at 31920 Robert Road in Thousand Palms, is the first responder to the Thousand Palms Community and adjoining areas, including the proposed area of annexation. The primary response station is Fire Station 35, which is located in Thousand Palms, is less than a 1 mile from the southern portion of the annexation area. FS No. 35 is staffed with a type I fire engine (3.0)firefighters. Other nearby Cal Fire stations are Fire Stations 69 and 71. Fire Station 69 is located in North Rancho Mirage at 71751 Gerald Ford Drive, and is 2.8 miles from the southern portion of the annexation area. FS No. 69 is staffed with a type I fire engine (3.0)firefighters and an ambulance (2.0)firefighter/paramedics. Fire Station 71 is located in North Palm Desert at 73995 Country Club Drive, and is 7.3 miles from the southern portion of the annexation area. FS No. 71 is staffed with a type I fire engine (3.0) firefighters and an ambulance (2.0)firefighter/paramedics. A future fire station is planned in the North Palm Desert area.This station may be located in the area of Cook Street and Interstate 10. At this time, it is unknown what equipment or staffing will be assigned at the new station. * American Medical Response currently provides paramedic ambulance service to the proposed annexation area. The City of Cathedral City operates its own fire and emergency services department, headquartered at 32-100 Desert Vista Road. Fire Department staff includes 33 paid firefighters, including the Fire Chief, and 2 Battalion Chiefs. Since July 2012, Cathedral City Fire Department staffing is as follows: (1) Fire Chief (2) Battalion Chiefs (9) Fire Captains- 6 of which are Paramedics. (9) Engineers- 6 of which are Paramedics. (12) Paramedic Firefighters (2) Administrative Secretary Three fire stations are located within the City, including Fire station No. 411, which is located at 36-913 Date Palm Drive and is 5.7 miles from the southern portion of the annexation area.

FS No. 413 is staffed with a type I fire engine with 2.0 firefighters and an ambulance with 2.0 firefighter/paramedics. The stations contain a wide range of firefighting equipment and vehicles, including three front-line engines, two reserve engines, one State Office of Emergency Services (OES) engine, two front line ambulances, and two reserve ambulances. One of the front-line engines is a 65-foot Telesquirt (a new 75-foot truck is scheduled to be delivered sometime this June and will replace the existing 65-foot). The current 65-foot Telesquirt will go into reserve status at that time. The Department participates in a county-wide agreement with the Riverside County Fire Department/CALFIRE for additional fire support, as necessary. The Department is currently working with Riverside County Fire Department/CALFIRE to establish a cooperative agreement for automatic-aid. This agreement will allow us to maintain the current level of service to the area being annexed by utilizing fire units from both Riverside County/CALFIRE and Cathedral City. The Department's targeted response time for fire suppression and hazardous materials calls is 4-6 minutes, and 4-6 minutes for emergency medical and paramedic calls. In 2013, the Department averaged a 5 minute response time. The department responded to 4,891 emergency calls, of which 3,762 were emergency medical and paramedic calls, 376 were fire suppression related calls, and 15 hazardous material related calls. Within the last two years, the Cathedral City Fire Department has been re-certified by the Insurance Services Office (ISO) as a Class 3 Department (Class 1 being the top rating and Class 10 being the worst). The rating recognizes the department's outstanding communications system, the City's high-quality water distribution system, an acceptable staffing model, an excellent emergency response fleet, and the Department's ability to respond in a timely and efficient manner. In addition to fighting fires, the Fire Department provides Advanced Life Support and emergency ambulance services, reviews development plans, and performs construction inspections and fire investigations. It also sponsors community fire prevention and public education programs, such as the installation and inspection of smoke detectors, CPR, First Aid courses, and C.E.R.T. classes. The Fire Department plays a key role in disaster preparedness and is responsible for coordinating, in conjunction with other agencies, the City's response to a wide range of hazards and threats. Improvement Requirement Presently, there is no development within the annexation area. No immediate fire improvements are anticipated to be required as a direct result of this annexation. 31 City of Cathedral City Annexation Plan Of Services The North City Extended Specific Plan proposes at build-out a unique blend of mixed use development that includes retail/commercial, restaurant, office service buildings, 400 hotel rooms and 3,200 residential units. The annexation itself will not impact current fire services; however, current fire services in place would not support the projected build-out of the NCESP without additional staffing and equipment. The proposed future development will be reviewed by the Cathedral City Fire Department for necessary improvements. Cathedral City commissioned an "AB1600 Fee Justification Study" in order to adequately plan for new development and identify the public facilities and costs associated with mitigating the impacts of new development. Future population, housing, and employment were projected based on the ultimate build out of the General Plan. Accordingly, based on full build out, the study identified public facilities needs for the areas both north and south of 1-10. The Needs List that will serve development both north and south of 1-10 includes a public safety training site where fire officers will receive training, along with other public safety joint uses with the police department. In addition, a public safety building which will be a combination fire station, police substation and joint training facility will serve only development north of 1-10. Public Safety Facilities on the Needs List will serve residents and employees north of 1-10 and south of 1-10. All of the facilities serving only the area north of the 1-1 0 are sized to serve future development, and therefore the costs of these facilities are allocated to future residents and employees. The City presently trains fire personnel at facilities owned by other jurisdictions, hence the cost of the Public Safety Training Site was allocated to existing and future residents and employees. In addition, the Police and Community Center will serve both existing and future residents and employees both north and south of 1-10. Timeframe for Extension of Services Upon annexation, the city will assume full responsibility for fire service as well as first response into the area. A cooperative service agreement with Riverside County/CALFIRE is currently working through the approval process. This agreement will provide service from the closest fire station located at 31920 Robert Road, Thousand Palms, and will allow the City to maintain the current level of service. Once the area is developed and able to financially support services, the North City Expanded Service Plan (NCESP) identifies the addition of a new fire station with additional staffing to service the area. Financing of Service The City's budget for fire services, to include Fire Suppression and Paramedic services, for Fiscal 2013-2014 is $7.5 million. The cost of providing fire and paramedic services comes through the General Fund and the City-established Communities Facilities District (CFD). The CFD applies an annual fee of $600 to each new d/u for projects larger than four d/u. It also includes a fee of $13.99 per square foot for non-retail commercial and industrial uses. Fees also include the City's Development Impact Fee (DIF) imposed on all new construction. 32 City of Cathedral City Annexation Plan Of Services As the City continues to grow, so will the need for additional fire protection. The City will be responsible for monitoring growth patterns and responding to the demand for additional public safety facilities and services. Considerations will include land use and circulation patterns, the provision of water for adequate fire flows, the financing of future fire stations, and the adequacy of emergency response times. Demands for additional fire services resulting from this annexation are projected to be minimal in the near to intermediate term. As new residential or commercial development occurs, fees that were determined adequate to cover the public safety facilities established on the "Needs List" in the AB 1600 Study will be collected and set aside for the development of these facilities. Additionally, in the longer term, commercial and business development from the commercial and business park zoned parcels would be expected to generate additional general tax revenue that will help defray the cost of providing public safety services.

PARKS AND RECREATION SERVICES The proposed annexation site is currently under the jurisdiction of Riverside County. Park and recreation services are provided by the Desert Recreation District through a contract with Riverside County. The closest recreation facility is the Thousand Palms Community Center & Park located at 31189 Robert Road in the neighboring community of Thousand Palms (0.5 miles). The park provides various recreation amenities such as basketball, softball fields, walking trails, picnic areas, BBQ's and a playground. The Community Center provides a range of activities for all ages and is also used for meetings and community gatherings. Upon annexation, the City of Cathedral City would provide park and recreation services to the 590+/- acres of vacant land. As the project develops, the City may elect to contract with the Desert Recreation District for administering park facilities and recreation services. The City provides a mix of mini and neighborhood parks that offer a range of recreational activities. Currently all Cathedral City parks are located south of 1-10. The closest City parks are Century Park (3.2 miles) and Dennis Keat Soccer Park (5 miles). Century Park is a 5-acre neighborhood park with ball fields, basketball courts, soccer field, picnic area and playground. Dennis Keat Soccer Park is a 17-acre neighborhood park, used for AYSO soccer; the park is also used by the community for its fitness track and exercise equipment. Improvement Requirement The NCESP proposes at build-out a unique blend of mixed use development which would include retail/commercial, restaurant, office service buildings, 400 hotel rooms and 3,200 residential units. Buildout of the proposed project would result in the development of 590 acres of vacant land and potentially increase the demand of park and recreation services. Of the 590 acres of land included within the Specific Plan, an estimated 240.44 acres of land, or 40.66% of the area, is to be maintained as "Open Space" for the accommodation of neighborhood and community parks, multi-use trail network, in addition to wind and noise buffers and stormwater retention basins and drainageways. Per the adopted NCESP, the following recreation facilities will be dedicated by the developer to park and recreation facilities: • One community park at 7.0 acres; • Four neighborhood parks at 8.6 acres combined; and • A minimum of 8.5 acres dedicated as park land within the 49.7-acre "Freeway Buffer". Individual development within the Specific Plan will be reviewed by the City of Cathedral City and be required to comply with requirements and fees in place at the time of building permits. Such fees would include the license tax for all new construction, Development Impact Fees, and the City's parkland dedication requirements. 35 City of Cathedral City Annexation Plan Of Services Timeframe for Extension of Services Development of the proposed annexation site would not require the construction or expansion of parks and recreational facilities within the City beyond those already planned. Financing of Service Funding for maintenance and development of public parks are derived from various sources including general revenue funds, developer assessments through use of the Quimby Ordinance and exactions of commercial developments, business or fund-raising contributions, Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act, special taxes, benefit assessment districts, facilities bonding, state and federal grants or loans and sewer fund loans. XV. SCHOOLS Cathedral City is served by the Palm Springs Unified School District (PSUSD). The annexation site is within the boundary of the PSUSD. The district operates sixteen elementary schools for grades K-5, five middle schools for grades 6-8 and four high schools for grades 9-12. Within Cathedral City, PSUSD operates five elementary schools for grades K-6, two middle schools for grades 6-8 and one high school for grades 9-12. It should be noted that PSUSD has an open enrollment policy so that students may choose to commute to another school outside of their school boundary but within the district, provided space is available. School age children may also attend several private schools located in or near Cathedral City or throughout the Coachella Valley. Private schools in or near Cathedral City are Calvary Christian for K-12, Kings School adjacent to Cathedral City limits (K-8), and Palm Valley also adjacent to Cathedral City limits (K-8). Xavier High School (9-12) is located within the unincorporated Thousand Palms Community. Improvement Requirement The NCESP proposes at build-out a unique blend of mixed use development which would include retail/commercial, restaurant, office service buildings, 400 hotel rooms and 3,200 residential units. The residential portion of the project has the potential to generate 1,619 new students based on the student generation factors provided by the PSUSD. Potential Number of New PSUSD Students Associated with the Development of the Proposed North City Extended Specific Plan School Level Proposed Land Use *Student Generation Total Students Units Type Factor Generated Elementary School 1,900 MF 0.3349 636 (Grades K-S) Middle School (Grades 6- 1,900 MF 0.2065 392 8) 36 City of Cathedral City Annexation Plan Of Services High School(Grades 9-12) 1,900 MF 0.1917 364 Total Multi Family 1,392 Elementary School 1,300 SFR 0.1326 172 (Grades K-5) Middle School (Grades 6- 1,300 SFR 0.0706 91 8) High School (Grades 9-12) 1,300 SFR 0.0833 158 Total Single Family 421 *Source:Student Generation Factor provided by Palm Springs Unified School District 2013 Additional needs for school services will be addressed when compliance with the school impact fees is met. Payment of these fees would offset impacts from the increased demand on school services associated with the buildout of the proposed annexation site. Additionally, the proposed Mixed Used Neighborhood (MU-N) and Mixed Use Urban (MU-U) zoning allows for elementary schools and secondary schools, college, university and vocational/trade schools with a Conditional Use Permit. Timefrome for Extension of Services New development will be reviewed for its impacts on educational services. Future entitlements will be reviewed by the City of Cathedral City on an individual basis and will be required to comply with requirements and fees in place at the time of development. Financing of Service PSUSD collects school fees for all new development. These fees are designed to fund new schools based on the impact the new development has on the school system. All new construction is subject to any school fees in place at the time development occurs. At the time of writing, current 2014 fees for commercial development is charged at 0.51 cents a square foot and $3.43 per square foot for residential development. As a result, sufficient revenue would be available for necessary improvements or additional school facilities. XVI. LIBRARY The City of Cathedral City library is located at 33-520 Date Palm Drive and is one of 35 branches of the Riverside County Library System. It is open weekly Monday thru Tuesday 10am to 6pm, Wednesdays from 12pm to 8pm, Thursday and Saturday from 10am to 6pm, closed on Friday and open on Sunday from 1pm to 5pm. Library cards are offered to all California residents free of charge and a $10 annual fee is charged for non-California residents. The Cathedral City library opened in 1996 and in 2009 was renovated. The library is a 20,000 square-foot facility with over 80,000 books, magazines, CDs and DVDs for all ages. The library also provides 38 public computers with free internet access, three study rooms, a community room, local history collection, a Spanish language collection, and the Gary C. Ray story room. The library features 37 City of Cathedral City Annexation Plan Of Services various family programs, computer classes, reading program and activities for children and teens throughout the year. The Thousand Palms library is located at 31189 Robert Road, and is also part of the Riverside County Library System. The library is 4,500 square feet and is open 5 days a week, the library features books, CDs, DVDs and computers with free internet access an offers community classes and activities for all ages. Improvement Requirement The NCESP proposes at build-out a unique blend of mixed use development which would include retail/commercial, restaurant, office service buildings, 400 hotel rooms and 3,200 residential units. With the new addition of residential development, an increase in library patrons is anticipated. However, the Cathedral City and Thousand Palms library branches could adequately service the proposed project at build-out. Additionally, the County has five (5) more branches throughout the Coachella Valley and a bookmobile stationed at various locations during the week. Timeframe for Extension of Services At this time there is no need for a new library facility; however, all new development will pay required impact fees at the time of building permits. Financing of Service The project will comply with impact fees in effect at the time of development. Sufficient revenue would be available for any necessary improvements to the existing facilities should they be needed. 38 City of Cathedral City Annexation Plan Of Services XVII. SOLID WASTE SERVICES Burrtec Waste and Recycling Services would provide solid waste collection services to the annexation site. Services would include, waste removal, recycling programs and green waste disposal. Burrtec Waste offers all sizes of containers, including compactors. Recycling services are offered to residential units at no cost, materials are picked up curbside once per week and includes a 32-gallon cart with lid. Commercial recycling is also available in 32-gallon and other size carts and bins at discounted rates. Bulky Items pick-up is also available to individual residents by appointment only. Solid waste from Cathedral City is taken to the Edom Hill transfer station, from this location it is then taken to one of Burretc's regional landfills. The Lamb Canyon facility is the primary disposal site for Cathedral City, this facility accepts 3,000 tons per day with a capacity estimate of over 20,908,171 cubic yards remaining. The City also utilizes the Badlands Disposal Site in Moreno Valley. The Badlands facility accepts 4,000 tons per day of solid waste. The Badlands site is also undergoing a 1,100 acre expansion that would extend the longevity of the landfill site. Improvement Requirement Buildout of the NCESP will include the development of 590 acres of vacant land. This development will increase the demand for waste services. The NCESP could accommodate a unique blend of Mixed Use Development (MXD) with an equivalent of up to 200,000 square feet retail/commercial buildings; 120,000 square feet of restaurants; 190,000 square feet of office/service buildings; 595 square feet of light industrial; 400 hotel rooms and 3,200 residential units. However, future development of the NCESP is not expected to exceed the permitted capacities of the Lamb Canyon or Badlands landfills. Future development of the project site within the City will be required to determine whether project related solid waste would cause significant impacts onto the landfills. Additionally, all applicants will be required to comply with the City's waste and recycling provisions and provide a construction and demolition plan, prior to initiating the development, grading permit process. All solid waste activities resulting from the NCESP development will be carried out in compliance with all State, Federal and local statues regulating solid waste. Timeframe for Extension of Services New development will be reviewed for their impacts onto the landfills; future entitlements will be reviewed by the City of Cathedral City on an individual basis and will be required to comply with requirements and fees in place at the time of development. 39 City of Cathedral City Annexation Plan Of Services Financing of Service Individual developers within the NCESP will be charged fees accordingly by Burrtec Waste. Additionally, all new construction will be subject to Development Impact Fees at the time of building permits. XVIII. STREET AND SIGNAL IMPROVEMENTS The project site is located at the intersection of Interstate 10 and Bob Hope Drive and Varner Road. Bob Hope Drive is classified as a six-lane divided Urban Arterial Highway in the County of Riverside General Plan. The roadway was recently improved in conjunction with the 1-10 interchange improvements. Ramon Road is located just south of the Project area and provides east/west access between Palm Springs and Interstate 10. The Union Pacific railroad overcrossing on Ramon Road provides three travel lanes (one westbound and two eastbound). Varner Road parallels Interstate 10 and passes through the project site. It is currently constructed as a two-lane undivided roadway from Date Palm Drive southeast to a point approximately 550 feet west of Bob Hope Drive. East of that point, Varner Road was recently improved to provide a four-lane divided cross-section in conjunction with the 1-10 interchange project at Bob Hope Drive. West of the recently improved section, Varner Road is currently constructed with two travel lanes and a pavement width of approximately 33 feet. Improvement Requirement Annexation of the project site will not involve initial improvements to roads, streets or signals. However, once development of the vacant project site is initiated, street and signal improvements will be necessary. Local widening will be required to accommodate the lanes at the following intersection: • Eastbound Varner Road @ Bob Hope Drive; • Westbound Varner Road @ Valley Center Boulevard • Southbound Rio Del Sol Road @ Varner Road; and • Southbound Bob Hope Drive south of Varner Road Since the project will be completed in phases over a 15 year period, detailed requirements are provided in Section 3.16, "Transportation/Traffic", in the adopted EIR. Initially, streets within the NCESP Project will be new and constructed to City street standards. During the first several years there will not be a need for major street maintenance, such as street repair and street overlays. After 5 — 10 years, however, there will be a need for overlays which will be provided every 7— 12 years depending upon usage. 40 City of Cathedral City Annexation Plan Of Services Timeframe for Extension of Services Development will be completed in phases over a 15 year period. Detailed requirements for each phase will be followed per the adopted NCESP and EIR. All future developers will be required to construct any remaining improvements such as sidewalks and bike paths, as well as any street improvements, traffic signals and the like required to serve the overall site. Financing of Service Future development will install all required street improvements at the time of development and shall also pay the required Development Impact Fees and Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fees (TUMF). Road maintenance will be funded with Gas Tax and Measure A revenue being received annually. XIX. FINANCIAL INFORMATION The following tax would apply to development within the NCESP. General Taxes Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) would apply to any hotel establishment. Current 2014 TOT is 12%Citywide. Any commercial business development that is built in the area is subject to the sales tax. The current 2014 sales tax for Cathedral City is 8.00% plus a 1% transaction and use tax, which is due to expire on September 30, 2015, for a total of 9%. Debt Per the City of Cathedral City, there is no general bonded indebtedness applicable to the annexed area. 41 City of Cathedral City Annexation Plan Of Services XX.

Please take a look at it and let me know if you have any concerns or requests that you would like me to forward to the County. I have confirmed with their assigned planner that he will accept comments from us through the end of this week. I can give you a hard copy of the tentative map if you prefer.

Are there any landscape drawing that I can see? The title page of the drawings has an index of landscape drawings, but I only received the tract map and architectural drawings. I especially want to see Sheets L-1 and L- 2, and whatever landscaping might be going on in the retention basin. 2. Could I get an electronic(scanned)version of the architectural drawings? I want to have a couple of people look at them simultaneously, and there are too many to copy easily. Thanks in advance for whatever assistance you can provide.

Smaller scale accents will be exas Ebony and 24"BOX 4 Cascalote with groves of Shoestring Acacia providing vertical/visual interest. While the use of water efficient "native" species is of primary concern, of equal importance is to provide a unique interest in the community by introducing plants like Rogers Red California Grape, Eremophila'Winter Gold' and Aniscanthus 'Mexican Flame' 24"Box 52 to provide seasonal interest with change in leaf color for fall or a burst of a bloom in spring. The emphasis on a desert landscape that has"seasonality" is encouraged. 15 GAL 32 This theme carries through to the interior streets and front yard plantings with shade trees in front yards being proposed as Tipu trees and small scale accents of Desert Willow and Texas Ebony.

The use of cobble and boulders provide a basic structure and texture to the 9 PALO VERDE 24"BOx .02 LOW 105 plantings in times when some species may be drought or cold deciduous or "not at their peak" appearance. Plantings that rely specifically on true natives and/or reflect a seasonal approach to the plantings may result in a less than attractive hardscape during off peak times.

Special areas like the main entry, community center, Dog Park and prominent street corners are accented by SIZE WATER USE QTYREMARKS varied Palm clusters of Hybrid Mexican and California Fan Palms with cobble and low level shrubs and ---- groundcovers to maintain sight lines.

This is based on a modified plant palette that incorporates some standard native species such as Creosote bush and hybridized cultivars that bring to light the best of the species without their drawbacks. Some cultivars specifically selected for this reason are Desert Willow, and Thornless Texas Honey Mesquite. The theme planting starts in the perimeter parkways along 40th Ave. and Adams St. 40th Ave. will feature 6' tall perimeter walls atop 2' mounding. Low level plantings and larger scale trees and shrubs will provide a visual screen from surrounding auto center. The large scale trees proposed for use along Gerald Ford Drive are Sweet Acacia and Desert Museum Palo Verde and Chaste tree. Smaller scale accents will be Texas Ebony and Cascalote with groves of Shoestring Acacia providing vertical/visual interest. While the use of water efficient "native" species is of primary concern, of equal importance is to provide a unique interest in the community by introducing plants like Rogers Red California Grape, Eremophila'Winter Gold' and Aniscanthus'Mexican Flame' to provide seasonal interest with change in leaf color for fall or a burst of a bloom in spring. The emphasis on a desert landscape that has "seasonality" is encouraged. This theme carries through to the interior streets and front yard plantings with shade trees in front yards being proposed as Tipu trees and small scale accents of Desert Willow and Texas Ebony. Large areas of accent cobble and boulders offset planted areas. The use of cobble and boulders provide a basic structure and texture to the plantings in times when some species may be drought or cold deciduous or "not at their peak" appearance. Plantings that rely specifically on true natives and/or reflect a seasonal approach to the plantings may result in a less than attractive hardscape during off peak times. At Encore, this will be avoided by the use of cobble and boulders as well as some non-native cultivars that exhibit more evergreen characteristics. Special areas like the main entry, community center, Dog Park and prominent street corners are accented by varied Palm clusters of Hybrid Mexican and California Fan Palms with cobble and low level shrubs and groundcovers to maintain sight lines. This was done to provide visual exclamation points throughout the community. The strong vertical accents of the Palms will not only create a visual accent but will also be reflective of the native Fan Palms found in oasis throughout the Coachella Valley. There are several existing desert conditions bordering Encore. Existing native plant material along the wash should be preserved if possible and accented with new native plantings along trails and planned landscape amenities. The wash will be a place for residents to walk and enjoy a 'natural desert' landscape. Large parklactivity areas at the southeast corner of the site are dedicated to a community center with lap pool and garden environment, a grassy dog park, and extensive trails through native desert gardens. A children's play area may be incorporated near the community center or dog park. The planting theme for front yards will not feature unusable "token" lawn areas. The plant palette remains the same through the project, using drought tolerant and native species wherever possible. Multiple small tree species will be used to supplement the major street trees to create an informal feel. Interest in the front yards will be provided by mounding where appropriate. Said mounds will include boulder accents to mimic the perimeter areas. Shrub and groundcover plantings shall follow suit with the intent to create a cohesive whole to the project while allowing the individual homes to have a subtle separate identity of their own.

The total size of the construction site area is 40.19 acres. Pre -project quantity of impervious surface is 0 acres (0%); Post -project quantity of impervious surface will be 22.51 acres (56.1 %). Anticipated and potential pollutants generated by land use for residential development are: Bacteria/Virus, Nutrients, Pesticides, Sediments, Trash and Debris, Oxygen Demanding Substances, Organic Compounds, Oil and Grease. The harmful effects of these pollutants shall be reduced through action and care of the individual residents as well as the Homeowner's Association, A Homeowner's Association will be formed and will be involved in long term maintenance. The proposed development consists of two hundred and two (202) residential lots &five {5) landscape lots. The project site meets the following criteria as a Priority Project for New Development that are required to incorporate and implement all Source Control, Site Design and Treatment BMPs: (7) Home subdivisions with 10 or more housing units. Paved areas created by the development will include streets, curb, gutter, and courtyards. Additional parking will be provided on the streets. Landscaped areas will also be created by the development. The outer perimeter of the site will be landscaped along with the road frontage along Adams Street. Landscaping areas will comply with runoff minimizing design. A proposed storm drainage system running through the center of the development's street will support stormwater runoff for the site. This system will convey stormwater runoff to a retention basin located to the east of the residential and west of the dirt channel and shall be maintained by the Homeowner's Association. Construction activities related to installing roads and utilities will be conducted site wide. Materials used for these operations will include the heavy machinery and equipment necessary to complete the construction. Materials and equipment will be stored at a location to be determined upon beginning of construction. Materials that will be used during construction and post -construction that will have the potential to contribute pollutants other than sediment to stormwater runoff are as follows: Vehicle fluids, including oil, grease, petroleum, and coolants; Asphalt concrete (AC) and Portland cement concrete (PCC) materials and wastes; Joint seal materials and concrete curing compounds; Paints, solvents, and thinners; Wood products (treated lumber, materials, and wastes); Metals, and plated products; Sandblasting materials; Mortar mix; PCC rubble; Masonry block rubble; Raw landscaping materials and wastes (topsoil, plant materials, mulch fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides); Pet Waste. Upon completion and acceptance of all construction work, the developer, Gibralt US, Inc will be responsible for operating and maintaining post -construction control measures until completion of construction and Homeowner's Association assumes responsibility. Appendix A of this project -specific WQMP includes a complete copy of the final Conditions of Approval. Appendix B of this project -specific WQMP includes: a. A Vicinity Map identifying the project site and surrounding planning areas in sufficient detail to allow the project site to be plotted on Permittee base mapping; and b. A Site Plan for the project.

This section does not need to be completed. No ❑ This section must be completed. This Project meets the following condition: Condition A: Runoff from the Project is discharged directly to apublicly-owned, operated and maintained MS4; the discharge is in full compliance with Permittee requirements for connections and discharges to the MS4 (including both quality and quantity requirements); the discharge would not significantly impact stream habitat in proximate Receiving Waters; and the discharge is authorized by the Permittee. Condition B: The project disturbs less than 1 acre and is not part of a larger common plan of development that exceeds 1 acre of disturbance. The disturbed area calculation must include all disturbances associated with larger plans of development. Condition C: The project's runoff flow rate, volume, velocity and duration for the post - development condition do not exceed the pre -development condition for the 2-year, 24-hour and 10-year 24-hour rainfall events. This condition can be achieved by minimizing impervious area on a site and incorporating other site -design concepts that mimic pre - development conditions. This condition must be substantiated by hydrologic modeling methods acceptable to the Permittee. None Refer to Section 3.4 of the Whitewater River Region WQMP for additional requirements.

This project lies within the area of the Regional Flood Protection for the North Indio and Surrounding Area Project, which will provide regional flood protection to a portion of the North Indio area. Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) is currently in the planning phase of this project. Upon completion of the design phase, developers and property owners within the area may be required to dedicate nght�of-way for regional flood control facilities and/or participate in the financing of a portion of these facilities. Tract M ap 30966 is located at the northwest comer of the intersection of Adams Street Ma Tentative 40�' Avenue in the unincorporated area of Riverside County. It accepts the 100�year regional flood (approximately 15,500 cfs) from the Del Webb Sun City development. The Tentative Tract Map No. 30966 has a conceptual approval of the proposed flood control concept of this flow for compliances with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and California Drainage Law (refer to CVWD letter dated March 18, 2004). Prior to issuance of grading permits for Tentative Tract Map No. 30966, the developer shall comply with FEMA, California Drainage Law and Riverside County Ordinance 458 as amended in the preparation of flood protection facilities for Tentative Tract Map No. 30966. The developer will be required to pay fees and submit plans as part of the flood management review by our consultant. Flood protection measures shall include detailed hydrologic and hydraulic analysis of off -site flows and plans for flood protection. Flood protection measures xnay include design and construction of flood conveyance facilities. Jay Olivas Riverside County Planning Department 2 March 135 2013 This area is designated Zone A on Federal Flood Insurance rate maps, which are in effect at this time by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Flood protection measures shall comply with California Drainage Law and provide that stormwater flows are received onto and discharged from this property in a manner that is reasonably compatible with predevelopment conditions. The developer shall provide written notice to all downstream property owners located within 600 feet of this area of the proposed construction of flood control facilities before commencing construction of any CVWD approved flood control facilities. Said notice shall include wording that indicates that the project includes construction of flood control facilities, which may affect downstream properties. Prior to issuance of grading permits, CVWD will require the developer to: � Obtain a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) through the Federal Emergency Management Agency. ® Execute an agreement with CVWD, which shall include provisions outlined in CVWD Ordinance No. 1234. A copy of the Ordinance No. 1234 is enclosed for your convenience. ® Submit to CVWD a Flood Control Facility Operations and Maintenance Manual for review and approval. ® Grant flooding easements over the flood control facilities in a form and content reasonably acceptable to CVWD. ® Submit final construction plans for the proposed flood control facilities and a detailed hydrological and hydraulic design report for review and approval. Prior to occupancy, CVWD requires the developer to: � Obtain a Letter of Map Revision (CONK) through the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which removes the development from the special flood hazard area. ® At the completion of the construction of the flood control facilities, submit "as - built" topography, construction drawings and engineering analysis for CVWD review to verify that the design capacity is adequate. The County shall require mitigation measures to be incorporated into the development to prevent flooding of the site or downstream properties. These measures shall require on -site retention of the incremental increase of runoff from the 100-year storm. Jay ®livas Riverside County Planning Department 3 March 13, 2013 This project lies within the Study Area Boundary of the 2010 Coachella Valley Water Management Plan Update. CVWD will provide domestic water and sanitation service to this area and such service will be subject to the satisfaction of terms and conditions established by CVWD and exercised from time to time, including but not limited to fees and charges, water conservation measures, etc. CVWD may need additional facilities to provide for the orderly expansion of its domestic water and sanitation systems. These facilities may include pipelines, wells, reservoirs, booster pumping stations, lift stations, treatment plants and other facilities. The developer may be required to install these facilities and provide land and/or easements on which some of these facilities will be located. These sites shall be shown on the tract map as lots and/or easements to be deeded to CVWD for such purpose. This notice of domestic water and sanitation service availability can only be used and relied upon for the specific property for which it was issued and shall expire three (3) years from date of issuance. Domestic water and sanitation service remains at all times subject to changes in regulations adopted by CVWD's Board of Directors including reductions in or suspensions of service. The Riverside County Health Department requires sanitary sewer service to be provided when there are existing sewers within 2004feet of the development. For your development, there are existing sanitary sewer service available in the area, but over the 200-foot requirement. CVWD strongly suggests that development connect to CVWD's sanitary sewer system and CVWD may survey existing property owners in this area to determine the potential for multi-user participation in a sewer line extension. The sewer service laterals shall be designed and installed so as to readily facilitate connecting to a fixture collection system. Sewers shall be designed and constructed so as to readily facilitate connection with an imminent future regional trunk sewer. Dry or wet sewers shall be installed. Plans for their installation shall be submitted to and approved by CVWD prior to issuance of a building permit. zf you have any questions please call Joe Cook, Domestic Water Engineer, extension 2292.

The subject property of the study, Tentative Tract Map No. 30966, consists of two existing parcels, namely Assessor's Parcel Nos. 748-280-008 and -009, located on the northwest corner of Avenue 40 and Adams Street, in the southeast quarter of Section 6, T5S R7E, San Bernardino Baseline and Meridian. The study is part of the environmental review process for the proposed subdivision of the property. The County of Riverside, as Lead Agency for the project, required the study in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The purpose of the study is to provide the County of Riverside with the necessary information and analysis to determine whether the proposed project would cause substantial adverse changes to any "historical resources," as defined by CEQA, that may exist in or around the project area. In order to identify such resources, CRM TECH conducted a historical/archaeological resources records search, pursued historical background research, contacted Native American representatives, and carried out an intensive-level field survey of the entire project area. Through the various avenues of research, this study did not encounter any "historical resources" within or adjacent to the project area. Therefore, CRM TECH recommends to the County of Riverside a finding of No Impact regarding cultural resources. No further cultural resources investigation is recommended for the project unless development plans undergo such changes as to include areas not covered by this study. However, if buried cultural materials are encountered during any earth-moving operations associated with the project, all work in that area should be halted or diverted until a qualified archaeologist can evaluate the nature and significance of the finds. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS MANAGEMENT SUMMARY ......................................................................................................i INTRODUCTION .........................................................................................................................1 SETTING ........................................................................................................................................3 Current Natural Setting ............................................................................................................3 Cultural Setting .........................................................................................................................3 Prehistoric Context ................................................................................................................3 Ethnohistoric Context ...........................................................................................................4 Historic Context.....................................................................................................................5 RESEARCH DESIGN ....................................................................................................................6 RESEARCH METHODS ...............................................................................................................7 Records Search...........................................................................................................................7 Historical Research....................................................................................................................7 Native American Participation ................................................................................................8 Field Survey ...............................................................................................................................8 RESULTS AND FINDINGS..........................................................................................................8 Records Search...........................................................................................................................8 Historical Research...................................................................................................................10 Native American Participation ...............................................................................................11 Field Survey ..............................................................................................................................11 DISCUSSION ................................................................................................................................12 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS ........................................................................12 CERTIFICATION .........................................................................................................................13 REFERENCES...............................................................................................................................14 APPENDIX 1: Personnel Qualifications .....................................................................................16 APPENDIX 2: Correspondence with Native American Representatives................................20 LIST OF FIGURES Figure 1.

The subject property of the study, Tentative Tract Map No. 30966, consists of two existing parcels, namely Assessor's Parcel Nos. 748-280-008 and -009, located on the northwest corner of Avenue 40 and Adams Street, in the southeast quarter of Section 6, T5S R7E, San Bernardino Baseline and Meridian (Fig. 2). The study is part of the environmental review process for the proposed subdivision of the property. The County of Riverside, as Lead Agency for the project, required the study in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA; PRC §21000, et seq.). The purpose of the study is to provide the County of Riverside with the necessary information and analysis to determine whether the proposed project would cause substantial adverse changes to any "historical resources," as defined by CEQA, that may exist in or around the project area. In order to identify such resources, CRM TECH conducted a historical/archaeological resources records search, pursued historical background research, contacted Native American representatives, and carried out an intensive-level field survey of the entire project area. The following report is a complete account of the methods, results, and final conclusion of the study. Personnel who participated in the study are named in the appropriate sections below and their qualifications are provided in Appendix 1. Figure 1. Project vicinity. (Based on USGS Santa Ana, Calif., 1:250,000 quadrangle [USGS 1979]) 2 Figure 2. Project area. (Based on USGS La Quinta and Myoma, Calif., 1:24,000 quadrangles [USGS 1978; 1980]) 3 SETTING CURRENT NATURAL SETTING The project area is situated in the heart of the Coachella Valley, a northwest-southeast trending desert valley that constitutes the western end of the Colorado Desert. Dictated by this geographic setting, the climate and environment of the region are typical of southern California's desert country, marked by extremes in temperature and aridity. Temperatures in the region reach over 120 degrees in summer, and dip to near freezing in winter. Average annual precipitation is less than five inches, and the average annual evaporation rate exceeds three feet. The project area lies to the north of the Interstate 10 freeway and the Union Pacific Railway, bounded by Avenue 40 on the south and Adams Street on the east. The surrounding land uses include an automobile sales and service center to the south, some undeveloped land to the northeast and southeast, a golf course to the north, and single-family residential tracts to the west, north, and east. The ground surface in the project area has been slightly disturbed by off-road vehicles and construction activities nearby, and some debris and refuse are scattered across the property, including chunks of broken concrete and asphalt. Elevations in the project area range approximately from 60 to 100 feet above mean sea level. The northeastern portion of the property appears to have been leveled, and some soil has been spread across the area. A stockpile of soil is found along the western edge of the property, and an elongated depression extends from the eastern end to the center. Water collected in this depression resulted in clusters of dense vegetation growth (Fig. 3). The flora observed in the project area consists mainly of tumbleweeds, creosote bushes, brittle brush, cedar salt, and other small desert grasses and shrubs. CULTURAL SETTING Prehistoric Context Numerous investigations on the history of cultural development in southern California have led researchers to propose a number of cultural chronologies for the desert regions. A Figure 3. Typical landscapes in the project area. Left: eastern portion, view to the north along Adams Street; right: western portion, view to the west. (Photographs taken on February 20, 2013) 4 specific cultural sequence for the Colorado Desert was offered by Schaefer (1994) on the basis of the many archaeological studies conducted in the area. The earliest time period identified is the Paleoindian (ca. 8,000 to 10,000-12,000 years ago), when "small, mobile bands" of hunters and gatherers, who relied on a variety of small and large game animals as well as wild plants for subsistence, roamed the region (ibid.:63). These small groups settled "on mesas and terraces overlooking larger washes" (ibid.:64). The artifact assemblage of that period typically consists of very simple stone tools, "cleared circles, rock rings, [and] some geoglyph types" (ibid.). The Early Archaic Period follows and dates to ca. 8,000 to 4,000 years ago. It appears that a decrease in population density occurred at this time and that the indigenous groups of the area relied more on foraging than hunting. Very few archaeological remains have been identified to this time period. The ensuing Late Archaic Period (ca. 4,000 to 1,500 years ago) is characterized by continued low population densities and groups of "flexible" sizes that settled near available seasonal food resources and relied on "opportunistic" hunting of game animals. Groundstone artifacts for food processing were prominent during this time period. The most recent period in Schaefer's scheme, the Late Prehistoric, dates from ca. 1,500 years ago to the time of the Spanish missions, and saw the continuation of the seasonal settlement pattern. Peoples of the Late Prehistoric Period were associated with the Patayan cultural pattern and relied more heavily on the availability of seasonal "wild plants and animal resources" (Schaefer 1994:66). It was during this period that brown and buff ware ceramics were introduced into the region. The shores of Holocene Lake Cahuilla, during times of its presence, attracted much settlement and resource procurement; but in times of the lake's desiccation, according to Schaefer (1994:66), the Native people moved away from its receding shores towards rivers, streams, and mountains. Numerous archaeological sites dating to this time period have been identified along the shoreline of Holocene Lake Cahuilla. Testing and mitigative excavations at these sites have recovered brown and buff ware ceramics, a variety of groundstone and projectile point types, ornaments, and cremations. Ethnohistoric Context The Coachella Valley is a historical center of Native American settlement, where U.S. surveyors noted large numbers of Indian villages and rancherías, occupied by the Cahuilla people, in the mid-19th century. The Cahuilla, a Takic-speaking people whose society was once based on hunting and gathering, are generally divided by anthropologists into three groups, according to their geographic setting: the Pass Cahuilla of the San Gorgonio Pass- Palm Springs area, the Mountain Cahuilla of the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa Mountains and the Cahuilla Valley, and the Desert Cahuilla of the eastern Coachella Valley. The basic written sources on Cahuilla culture and history include Kroeber (1925), Strong (1929), and Bean (1978). The following ethnohistoric discussion is based primarily on these sources. The Cahuilla did not have a single name that referred to an all-inclusive tribal affiliation. Instead, membership was in terms of lineages or clans. Each lineage or clan belonged to one of two main divisions of the people, known as moieties. Members of clans in one moiety had to marry into clans from the other moiety. Individual clans had villages, or 5 central places, and territories they called their own, for purposes of hunting game, gathering food, or utilizing other necessary resources. They interacted with other clans through trade, intermarriage, and ceremonies. Population data prior to European contact are almost impossible to obtain, but estimates range from 3,600 to as high as 10,000 persons. During the 19th century, however, the Cahuilla population was decimated as a result of European diseases, most notably smallpox, for which the Native peoples had no immunity. Today, Native Americans of Pass or Desert Cahuilla heritage are mostly affiliated with one or more of the Indian reservations in and near the Coachella Valley, including Torres Martinez, Augustine, Agua Caliente, Cabazon, and Morongo. Historic Context In 1823-1825, José Romero, José Maria Estudillo, and Romualdo Pacheco became the first noted European explorers to travel through the Coachella Valley when they led a series of expeditions in search of a route to Yuma (Johnston 1987:92-95). Due to its harsh environment, few non-Indians ventured into the desert valley during the Mexican and early American periods, except those who traveled along the established trails. The most important of these trails was the Cocomaricopa Trail, an ancient Indian trading route that was "discovered" in 1862 by William David Bradshaw and known after that as the Bradshaw Trail (Gunther 1984:71; Ross 1992:25). In much of the Coachella Valley, this historic wagon road traversed a similar course to that of present-day Highway 111. During the 1860s-1870s, the Bradshaw Trail served as the main thoroughfare between coastal southern California and the Colorado River, until the completion of the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1876-1877 brought an end to its heyday (Johnston 1987:185). Non-Indian settlement in the Coachella Valley began in the 1870s with the establishment of railroad stations along the Southern Pacific Railroad, and spread further in the 1880s after public land was opened for claims under the Homestead Act, the Desert Land Act, and other federal land laws (Laflin 1998:35-36; Robinson 1948:169-171). Farming became the dominant economic activity in the valley thanks to the development of underground water sources, often in the form of artesian wells. Around the turn of the century, the date palm was introduced into the Coachella Valley, and by the late 1910s dates were the main agricultural crop and the tree an iconic image celebrating the region as the "Arabia of America" (Shields Date Gardens 1957). Then, starting in the 1920s, a new industry featuring equestrian camps, resorts, hotels, and eventually country clubs began to spread throughout the Coachella Valley, transforming it into southern California's premier winter retreat. The community of Bermuda Dunes, a relative late-comer in the region's resort boom, was founded and named by developers Ernie Dunlevie and Ray Ryan in the mid-1950s, in the wake of the successes achieved by the five "cove communities," Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, and La Quinta (Gunther 1984:50). It remains unincorporated today, but during recent years has become a part of the sphere of influence of the rapidly growing City of La Quinta. 6 RESEARCH DESIGN Scientific research should be directed by a theoretical orientation that is geared toward gathering data to answer questions of current research interest. While numerous theoretical orientations have been put forward and used to guide archaeological research and to improve data-collecting efforts, the cultural ecology approach still tends to be the most useful paradigm in archaeological endeavors, although it is often used in conjunction with newer models. Basically, the cultural ecology approach to understanding cultural development contends that people develop behavioral patterns in order to exploit the resources of the area by means of particular technologies. It also assumes that there is interrelationship of these technologies, the environment, survival, and other aspects of the culture. Since archaeology deals mostly with the cultural remains that are left long after the people are gone, this theoretical orientation has obvious advantages for archaeological research, although it is left to the archaeologist to determine the extent to which the behavior patterns used to exploit the environment affect other aspects of culture. Because of its continuing usefulness, the cultural ecology theoretical orientation is the basis of the historical/archaeological investigation used in this study. In practice, a research design serves to identify research issues and to illuminate new information for the purpose of evaluating the significance of cultural resources present within a study area. While no overarching research design has been established for this part of Riverside County, a standard set of research questions, or research domains, can be applied to historical/archaeological investigations in the region, especially for Phase I studies such as this. The primary goal of a Phase I survey is to identify any prehistoric or historic-period cultural resources that may be present within the study area. This identification process generally includes a historical/archaeological resources records search, historical background research, Native American contacts, and a field inspection. While little detailed data may be available from the research methods employed during Phase I studies, some types of data gathered during the investigation may be used to address research issues, at least on a basic level. For instance, just the presence of cultural resources on a property indicates that people used the area. Other research questions, such as those posited below, can be addressed during Phase I studies only if certain types of artifacts or features are found within or near the study area. • Is there any evidence that important events took place on the property or that the property is associated with a historically important person? • Can anything be learned regarding the time period the area was used? Can it be determined whether people used the area during early or late prehistoric times, or during the historic period? • Can anything be learned about the duration of the use of the land? Was the land used continuously for a long period, was it used only briefly, or was it used repeatedly over time? • Can anything be learned about the subsistence strategies of the people who used the land? Is there any evidence visible on the surface that indicates what food resources were being processed and/or consumed? 7 • Would any of the information gathered during a Phase I study shed light on settlement patterns? Could activities in the study area be related with broader patterns of human habitation of the region? Did the people live on the property or use it only for resource procurement? If they lived on the property, was it a dense or sparse population? Does occupation of the subject property disclose any information regarding settlement strategies or preferences? • Are there historical/archaeological data to be obtained about trade, travel, or cultural interactions? In addition, a research design should also outline major themes in the prehistory and history of a region or specific area, so that any cultural resources encountered during a Phase I study could be evaluated within the proper context. Based on the prehistoric, ethnohistoric, and historic contexts discussed above, the following themes can be established for past human activities in the vicinity of the current project area: • Native American land use during the Paleoindian, Early Archaic, Late Archaic, and Late Prehistoric Periods; • Early European and American exploration of inland southern California, particularly the desert region, during the early and mid-19th century; • Travel and transportation across the Coachella Valley; • Settlement and agricultural growth in the Coachella Valley during late 19th and early 20th centuries; • Growth of the region as a winter resort during the 20th century and suburbanization in the post-WWII era. RESEARCH METHODS RECORDS SEARCH On February 19, 2013, CRM TECH archaeologist Daniel Ballester (see App. 1 for qualifications) conducted the historical/archaeological resources records search at the Eastern Information Center (EIC), University of California, Riverside. During the records search, Ballester examined maps and records on file at the EIC for previously identified cultural resources in or near the project area, and existing cultural resources reports pertaining to the vicinity. Previously identified cultural resources include properties designated as California Historical Landmarks, Points of Historical Interest, or Riverside County Landmarks, as well as those listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the California Register of Historical Resources, or the California Historical Resources Inventory. HISTORICAL RESEARCH Historical background research for this study was conducted by CRM TECH historian Bai "Tom" Tang (see App. 1 for qualifications) on the basis of published literature in local and regional history, the archival records of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and historic maps of the Coachella Valley region. Among maps consulted for this study were the U.S. General Land Office's (GLO) land survey plat maps dated 1856 and the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) topographic maps dated 1904-1980. These maps are collected 8 at the Science Library of the University of California, Riverside, and the California Desert District of the BLM, located in Moreno Valley. NATIVE AMERICAN PARTICIPATION As part of the research procedures, CRM TECH contacted the State of California's Native American Heritage Commission on February 20, 2013, to request a records search in the commission's sacred lands file. Following the commission's recommendations, CRM TECH further contacted a total of 17 Native American representatives in the region in writing on February 25 to solicit local Native American input regarding any potential cultural resources concerns over the proposed project. The correspondences between CRM TECH and the Native American representatives are attached to this report in Appendix 2. FIELD SURVEY On February 20, 2013, CRM TECH archaeologists Daniel Ballester and Daniel Perez (see App. 1 for qualifications) carried out the intensive-level, on-foot field survey of the project area. The survey was conducted by walking parallel east-west transects spaced 10-15 meters (approx. 33-50 feet) apart. In this way, the ground surface in the entire project area was systematically and carefully examined for any evidence of human activities dating to the prehistoric or historic period (i.e., 50 years ago or older). Ground visibility was excellent (90%) on most of the property, but was poor (30-50%) in the areas of dense vegetation in the southeastern and central portions of the property. RESULTS AND FINDINGS RECORDS SEARCH According to EIC records, the project area was previously the subject of a similar cultural resources survey completed in 1995 (Keller 1995), and a 1990 survey also involved a small portion of it (Arkush 1990; see Fig. 4). The 1990 survey, conducted for a stormwater channel project, only covered a narrow strip of land in the southern half of the project area, while the 1995 survey included an intensive-level field survey of the entire project area (Keller 1995:22). Neither of these studies resulted in the identification of any cultural resources within the current project boundaries. Since both of these surveys occurred well over ten years ago, a systematic re-survey of the project area was deemed necessary for this study. Outside the project boundaries but within a one-mile radius, EIC records show more than 50 other previous studies completed since 1979, which collectively covered approximately half of the total acreage within the scope of the records search, including adjacent properties to all sides of the project area (Fig. 4). As a result of these studies, 14 historic- period buildings/structures, 12 archaeological sites, and 1 isolate—i.e., a locality with fewer than three artifacts—were previously recorded within the scope of the records search. Of the 12 archaeological sites, four dated to the historic period, consisting typically of refuse scatters and, in one case, the remains of a building. The other eight sites were 9 Figure 4. Previous cultural resources studies in the vicinity of the project area, listed by EIC file number. Locations of known historical/archaeological sites are not shown as a protective measure. 10 prehistoric—i.e., Native American—in origin, described generally as surface scatters of pottery sherds, faunal remains, chipped-stone and groundstone artifacts, and fire-affected rocks, although buried human remains were also noted at one site lying approximately one mile to the east of the project area. The isolate, also of prehistoric origin, was recorded as a mano fragment. The 14 buildings/structures included the former Southern Pacific (now Union Pacific) Railway, 11 residences dating the 1930s-1970s era, and 2 ancillary buildings. Among these previously recorded cultural resources, one of the historic-period sites, featuring a "bone refuse pit" with cow, horse, and rodent bones, was found directly across Avenue 40 from the project location, in the area now occupied by the automobile sales and service center. None of the other localities was in the immediate vicinity of the project area. Since none of the previously recorded cultural resources was identified within or immediately adjacent to the project boundaries, none of them requires any further consideration during this study. HISTORICAL RESEARCH Historical sources consulted for this study suggest that the project area is relatively low in sensitivity for cultural resources from the historic period. In the 1850s, when the U.S. government conducted the first systematic land survey in the Coachella Valley, no man- made features were observed in or near the project area (Fig. 5). In 1939, the project area was included in a land grant from the federal government to the State of California (BLM n.d.). A few years later, however, there was no evidence that any settlement or development attempts had been made on the property (Fig. 6). Despite the accelerated growth in the Coachella Valley during the post-WWII era, no substantial cultural features, Figure 5. The project area and vicinity in 1855-1856. (Source: GLO 1856a-d) Figure 6. The project area and vicinity in 1941. (Source: USGS 1941a; 1941b) 11 except Adams Street, were noted within or adjacent to the project area in the 1950s and the 1970s (Figs. 2, 7). Based these sources, the project area has evidently remained unsettled and undeveloped to the present time. NATIVE AMERICAN PARTICIPATION In response to CRM TECH's inquiry, the Native American Heritage Commission reports in a letter dated February 20, 2013, that the sacred lands record search identified no Native American cultural resources within the project area, but recommends that local Native American groups be contacted for further information. For that purpose, the commission provided a list of potential contacts in the region (see App. 2). Upon receiving the commission's response, CRM TECH initiated correspondence with 11 of the 13 individuals on the referral list Figure 7. The project area and vicinity in 1954-1959. (Source: USGS 1958; 1959) and the organizations they represent. Two of the 13 individuals on the list, Dianna Chihuahua and Michael Contreras, no longer serve in the roles as stated on the referral list, and were thus not contacted. In addition, David Saldivar, Director of Tribal Government Affairs for the Augustine Band of Cahuilla Indians, Yvonne Markle, Environmental Office Manager for the Cahuilla Band of Indians, William Madrigal, Cultural Heritage Program Coordinator for the Morongo Band of Mission Indians, John Gomez, Jr., Cultural Resources Coordinator for the Ramona Band of Cahuilla Indian, Steven Estrada, Environmental Director for the Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indians, and Matthew Krystall, Tribal Resources Manager for the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians, were also contacted. As of this time, only Patricia Garcia-Tuck, Director of the Agua Caliente Tribal Historic Preservation Office, has responded to the request for comments. In a letter dated March 1, 2013, Ms. Garcia-Tuck states that the tribe's records show the area to be highly sensitive for Native American cultural resources. Therefore, she requests Native American monitoring during any ground-disturbing activities. In addition, she requests copies of all cultural resource documentation generated in association with this project for tribal review and comment. If buried cultural remains are encountered, Ms. Garcia-Tuck requests that a qualified archaeologist be notified for further investigation, and that any human remains uncovered be addressed according to the appropriate statutes and procedures (see App. 2). FIELD SURVEY The intensive-level field survey produced completely negative results for potential cultural resources. The entire project area was closely inspected for any evidence of human 12 activities dating to the prehistoric or historic periods, but none was found. No buildings, structures, objects, sites, features, or artifacts more than 50 years of age were encountered during the field survey. DISCUSSION The purpose of this study is to identify any cultural resources within or adjacent to the project area, and to assist the County of Riverside in determining whether such resources meet the official definition of "historical resources," as provided in the California Public Resources Code, in particular CEQA. According to PRC §5020.1(j), "'historical resource' includes, but is not limited to, any object, building, site, area, place, record, or manuscript which is historically or archaeologically significant, or is significant in the architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social, political, military, or cultural annals of California." More specifically, CEQA guidelines state that the term "historical resources" applies to any such resources listed in or determined to be eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, included in a local register of historical resources, or determined to be historically significant by the Lead Agency (Title 14 CCR §15064.5(a)(1)-(3)). Regarding the proper criteria for the evaluation of historical significance, CEQA guidelines mandate that "a resource shall be considered by the lead agency to be 'historically significant' if the resource meets the criteria for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources" (Title 14 CCR §15064.5(a)(3)). A resource may be listed in the California Register if it meets any of the following criteria: (1) Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California's history and cultural heritage. (2) Is associated with the lives of persons important in our past. (3) Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the work of an important creative individual, or possesses high artistic values. (4) Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history. (PRC §5024.1(c)) As discussed above, all research procedures conducted during this study have produced negative results, and no potential "historical resources" were encountered throughout the course of the study. Based on these findings, and in light of the criteria listed above, the present report concludes that no historical resources exist within or adjacent to the project area. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS CEQA establishes that "a project that may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource is a project that may have a significant effect on the environment" (PRC §21084.1). "Substantial adverse change," according to PRC §5020.1(q), "means demolition, destruction, relocation, or alteration such that the significance of a historical resource would be impaired." 13 In summary of the research results outlined above, no "historical resources," as defined by CEQA, were encountered throughout the course of this study. Therefore, CRM TECH presents the following recommendations to the County of Riverside: • No historical resources exist within or adjacent to the project area, and thus the project as currently proposed will not cause a substantial adverse change to any known historical resources. • No further cultural resources investigation is necessary for the proposed project unless development plans undergo such changes as to include areas not covered by this study. • If buried cultural materials are discovered during any earth-moving operations associated with the project, all work in that area should be halted or diverted until a qualified archaeologist can evaluate the nature and significance of the finds. CERTIFICATION: I hereby certify that the statements furnished above and in the attached exhibits present the data and information required for this archaeological report, and that the facts, statements, and information presented are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.

From: Daniel Ballester <dballester@crmtech.us> Date: Wed, Feb 20, 2013 at 12:10 PM Subject: Sacred Lands records search To: Dave Singleton <ds_nahc@pacbell.net> CC: Laura Shaker <lshaker@crmtech.us> Hi Dave: This is to request a Sacred Lands records search. Name of project: Tentative Parcel Map 30966 CRM TECH #2679-Adams & 40th Project size: about 40 acres Location: Near the community of Bermuda Dunes, Riverside County, Calif. USGS 7.5' quad sheet data: Myoma, Calif. Section 6, T5S R7E, SBBM Map attached. Please call if you need more information or have any questions. Results may be faxed to the number below. I appreciate your assistance in this matter. Daniel Ballester CRM TECH 1016 E. Cooley Drive, Suite A/B Colton, CA 92324 office: (909) 824-6400 fax: (909) 824-6405 cell: (909) 376-7842 dballester@crmtech.us February 25, 2013 Patricia Garcia-Tuck, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians 5401 Dinah Shore Drive Palm Springs, CA 92264 RE: Tentative Parcel Map 30966 Approximately 40 Acres in APN 748-280-008 and -009 Located in the Bermuda Dunes Area, Riverside County, California CRM TECH Contract #2679 Dear Ms. Garcia-Tuck: CRM TECH is preparing a Phase I cultural resources study for the proposed subdivision of Tentative Parcel Map 30966. The project area is located on the northwest corner of Adams Street and Avenue 40, in the Bermuda Dunes area of Riverside County, California. The project will involve the construction of approximately 200 single-family homes on the 40- acre tract. The project area is currently vacant and has been disturbed in the past due to construction activities, off-road vehicle activities, and trash dumping. The western side of the project area currently has a stockpile of soil that was placed there in 2004-2005. The accompanying map, based on the USGS Myoma, Calif. 7.5' quadrangle, depicts the location of the project area in Section 6, T5S R7E, SBBM. In a letter dated February 20, 2013, the Native American Heritage Commission states that the sacred lands record search identified no Native American cultural resources within the project area, but recommends that local Native American groups be contacted for further information. Therefore, as part of the cultural resources study for this project, I am writing to request your input on potential Native American cultural resources in or near the project area. An archaeological records search on the project area, conducted at the Eastern Information Center, University of California, Riverside, revealed that the entire project area had been previously surveyed in 1995. The records search results indicate that an "extensive yet sparse scatter of pottery sherds and fire-affected rocks" was recorded about 500 ft (0.1 mi) to the northeast of the project area. Closer to the project area, a "bone refuse pit" with cow, horse, and rodent bones was recorded along the south side of Avenue 40. On February 20, 2013, CRM TECH conducted an intensive-level, on-foot field survey of the project area. Walking parallel east-west transects spaced 10-15 meters (approx. 30-50 feet) apart, the field team systematically and carefully examined the ground surface within the entire project area for any evidence of human activities dating to the prehistoric or historic periods (i.e., 50 years ago or older), but none were found. Ground visibility ranged from poor to excellent (30-90%) depending on the density of vegetation. Please respond at your earliest convenience if you have any specific knowledge of sacred/ religious sites or other sites of Native American traditional cultural value within or near the project area. Any information or concerns regarding Native American cultural resources or sacred sites in the vicinity of the project area may be forwarded to CRM TECH by telephone, e-mail, facsimile, or standard mail. The Lead Agency for this project is the County of Riverside, and the study is being prepared under the provisions of CEQA. Requests for documentation or information we cannot provide will be forwarded to our client and/or the Lead Agency.
