EIR 79-05, C/Z 08-79, DP 12-79, CUP 06-79, AND 120C - ERNEST W. HAHN, INC., APPLICANT: CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF THE FOLLOWING ITEMS: 1. Certification of Final EIR for Project. 2 A Change of Zone from PR-6, S.P. Planned Residential, Maximum of 6 d.u. per gross acres, (Scenic Preservation Overlay) to R-3 (9) (Multifamily Residential, Max. One d.u. per 9,000 sq. ft. of Land Area) on Approximately 16.0 + Acres Located at the Northeast Corner of El Paseo Extended and Highway 111. 3 A Conditional Use PeLulit to Allow Commercially Related Parking and a City Fire Station in the Proposed R-3 (9) Zone District on Approximately 16.0 + Acres Located at the Northeast Corner of El Paseo Extended and Highway 111. 4. A Development Plan for a Regional Shopping Center on Approximately 62 + Acres in the P.C. (3), S.P. and Proposed R-3 (9) Zone Districts Located Generally at the Northwest Corner of the Intersection of Monterey Avenue and Highway 111. 5 Preliminary Design Review Approval of the Total Complex. Mayor Mullins declared the Public Hearing open and asked for Staff's report. Mr. Crump reviewed the Staff Report relative to the Environ- mental Impact Report, noting all correspondence received relative to the EIR and the City's response (all of which is on file and of record in the City Clerk's Office). October 25, 1979 Page 2 MINUTES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS (Continued) B. ERNEST W. HAHN, INC., APPLICANT (Continued): Mr. Williams reviewed the Staff Report relative to the actual shopping center, noting that it would be built on approximately 62 acres now located in a P.C. (3) S.P. zone. The requested change of zone would be to R-3 (9) from PR-6 S.P. to allow for a fire station in a portion of the parking lot. He reviewed the features of the project which would encompass a total of 937,755 square feet. In reviewing the matter of traffic, Mr. Williams stated that a major traffic study had been conducted by Barton-Aschmann Associates which suggested many street improvements, traffic signals, and intersection modifications to mitigate traffic problems resulting from the proposed project. He reviewed the matter of drainage, stating that the two issues which must be resolved relate to the Palm Valley Channel and Highway 74/Monterey Avenue. He reviewed the issue of housing and the lack of moderate income housing which would be required for new employees who would come to the area as a result of the project. This area would be addressed by a Federal Grant application which the County of Riverside had applied for. Fire service would also have to be increased as a result of the project. He addressed the problems of noise and air quality that would result. He stated that there were not measures available to mitigate the problem of air quality. Mr. Williams reviewed the problems of funding all of the improvements required as a result of the proposed project, pointing out that many of them could be resolved through a Federal Grant which the County of Riverside had applied for since neither the applicant nor the City would be able to fund such improvements in their entirety. He reviewed the Staff recommendation to Council, pointing out the significance of each resolution and the ordinance. Mayor Mullins invited input in FAVOR of the proposed project: MR. ERNEST HAHN, 47-015 Eldorado Drive, Indian Wells, addressed Council as the applicant for the project and stated his philosophy for building his center in Palm Desert. He stated that his firm had completed an exten- sive survey for this town center which would include a number of civic facilities greatly needed in this area such as a theater, ice rink, space for 14 different charitable organizations including the Chamber of Commerce's Information Center, a transportation dispatch office, a child care center and many more. He introduced representatives from the May Company, Buffums, Montgomery Wards, and Bullocks who each presented their desire to become a part of Palm Desert's commercial area. Mr. Hahn also reviewed the number of improvements that would be made to streets, the Palm Valley Channel, and signalization of streets as a result of their providing over $2,000,000 for such improvements. MR. DON McNEILLY, Palm Desert Chamber of Commerce, stated his support of the center both as Executive Director of the Chamber and as a resident. MR. HENRY HOYLE, 73-426 Broken Arrow, Palm Desert, expressed his favor of the project as he felt, even as an El Paseo business owner, that it would not hurt business on El Paseo. However, he asked Council to October 25, 1979 Page 3 MINUTES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS (Continued) B. ERNEST W. HAHN, INC., APPLICANT (Continued) consider his feeling that there were too many banks on El Paseo and should be no more of them. MR. ROBERT RICCIARDI, 73-700 Highway 111, Palm Desert, addressed Council stating that there was a voice that should be heard, that of the family and the working class. He pointed out that Palm Desert answered the "community" need in the valley, welcoming families and children when Indian Wells and Rancho Mirage would have no part of them. He stated that Palm Desert had come a long way since he had moved here in that it now has its own Little League, Soccer League, and other youth activities, but many more are needed. This center will answer some of the needs of not only the children, but the family as well. It would also provide affordable shopping for the families. MRS. BETTY WILLIAMS, 45-455 Portola Avenue, addressed Council as a resident of the community and stating that she and her family drove as far as Orange County to find affordable shopping, and this center was definitely needed. MRS. ANNE GORDON, Palm Desert, addressed Council stating that this center was needed to provide affordable shopping as well as the many services it will offer. The following people spoke in OPPOSITION to the Center: MR. CHARLES JACOBS, 73-465 Ironwood, Palm Desert, stated that the Council should consider the vast majority of people and not just business. He felt that the quality of life style was being jeopardized for business. MR. SOL MUNGO, 46-440 Morongo, Indian Wells, stated that our "way of life" would be disturbed. He felt the EIR was unacceptable yet the Planning Commission approved it. He pointed out Carl Garschynski's prediction that the potential for smog here in the Valley is greater than Los Angeles, and this, he felt, was being ignored. The traffic created by the center would cause pollution and congestion with an increase in population in an area where there are not enough schools or homes to accommodate this type of family. MR. CHARLES JACOBS, 73-465 Ironwood, Palm Desert, again addressed Council asking why the issue could not be put to a referendum and let the people decide. MR. JOE CROTTY, 73-460 Ironwood, Palm Desert, stated that he had retired here as had many others. He had invested money is his property and wondered why he should be expected to become a service community to the rest of the valley. MR. GLEN RICHARDSON, Santa Margarita, Palm Desert, stated that he had moved to Palm Desert from the San Fernando Valley to get away from the large city. He liked the "small town" atmosphere and expressed his fear that Palm Desert would become another San Fernando Valley. Mayor Mullins encouraged anyone wishing to express their opinion on the proposed center to do so as Council wanted to hear every- one's views. No one else spoke. October 25. 1979 papa L -MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS (Continued) B. ERNEST W. HAHN, INC., APPLICANT (Continued) MR. HAHN stated in rebuttal that to make the record correct, it should be noted that the proposed center is not being introduced into the General Plan, it is already zoned for a shopping center. It is not a new thought. As far as an asphaltic area, this shopping center will cover less ground than any other shopping center he has built and includes 18% open space and landscaping. Someone had questioned the berm along Highway 111, and he explained that it could not be any higher as it would then prevent traffic visibility. In response to the concerns regarding air pollution, he pointed out that traffic leaving the area to shop would create the same amount of air pollution. He pointed out that California has one of the finest Environ- mental Impact laws in the country, with stringent requirements He stated that no developer has come into Palm Desert and offered to mitigate more than he has. MR. CHARLES JACOBS, 73-465 Ironwood, Palm Desert, stated that it was not a question of air pollution of that par- ticular corner or of what that particular shopping center does. The problem is that this center will bring the "hardcore" people to not only work here but to shop here. Mayor Mullins declared the Public Hearing closed. Councilman Newbrander stated that she could feel the concern of the people who came to a small town and loved it. She stated that she had been very concerned about all of the growth, but she had learned that it will come; we can do nothing about it. As long as three years ago, she stated that she had made a motion for a moratorium, but naturally it had failed for lack of a second. Growth will come whether we have a shopping center or not. We would get another one, possibly not as nice, if this one did not go in. Naturally, it will have its impact, but it does bring things that will be good for the people such as traffic improvements that will be required whether the center is built or not. It will bring some flood work, and we all know how badly we need that. Councilman Wilson stated that Mr. Richardson had stated that this project would radically alter our community, and it will. It will bring more traffic, pollution, and other things we moved away from. However, we are kidding ourselves if we think it will not come. People will con- tinue to move here for the same reasons we did. They found our well -kept secret. However, he felt the key issue here is whether or not this is the project or whether some other kind should go on that site. This particular project offers a great deal for this com- munity. There are many retired people here, but there are many young people in this community, and there is nothing for them to do. This center offers something for the young people of this community - young and young adults. It offers something that nowhere else does. He concluded by stating he felt this was the project that should be on that site. Councilman Brush agreed that the project would alter the community, but the biggest question is whether that change is going to benefit it more than any other development on this site. He stated that he had lived here off and on all of his life, and he wished no one else had ever moved here. However, this city is going to grow. There is no use being foolish about it; let's get the best we can. There October 25, 1979 Page 5 MINUTES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS (Continued) B. ERNEST W. HAHN, APPLICANT (Continued) are a lot of working people here, and they are doing well now, but construction is not going to be here forever. He stated, in response to the question regarding a referendum, that the people have had a referendum on this particular site. We are the only city in the State to have a referendum on the General Plan which includes this site as a shopping center, and the people overwhelmingly approved it. He pointed out that the Council had turned down a shopping center on that site once before because they did not feel it would be good for the community. There were a lot of arguments at that time that that center should have been approved as it would have provided a lot of stability for the people in the couuuunity. He concluded by saying that he felt this center would be good. Councilman McPherson stated that he had lived in a community that went through this same thing. The city had wrestled with it, and the center was ultimately built. Ten years later, the city and center are living in harmony. The plusses far outweighted the minuses. There were impacts the first few years, but in another few years, they were resolved. He concluded by saying he felt the center would be an asset to the City. Councilman Wilson moved and Councilman Brush seconded to waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. 79-124, certifying that the final EIR is in compliance with CEQA and State guidelines and that the City Council has reviewed and considered the information con- tained in the EIR prior to the approval of the project. Motion carried unanimously. Councilman McPherson moved and Councilman Newbrander seconded to waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. 79-125, making a Finding and Statement of Overriding Considerations as required by CEQA and the implementing State Guidelines, and approving a Development Plan, Conditional Use Permit, and Design Review Case. Motion carried unanimously. Councilman Brush moved and Councilman McPherson seconded to waive further reading and pass Ordinance No. 217 to second reading, approving a Change of Zone from PR-6, S.P. to R-3 (9). Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Mullins thanked everyone for their attendance and for giving Council their viewpoints. A. REQUEST FOR INPUT RELATIVE TO THE CITY'S COMMUNITY DEVELOP- MENT SIXTH YEAR BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM. (Continued from the Regular Meeting of September 27, 1979.) Mr. Ortega reported that the City of Palm Desert partici- pated with the County of Riverside in Housing and Community Development Programs, and the County was anticipating receipt of about $7,800,000. In the past, the City has been successful in obtaining funds for drainage projects. He reported that it was staff's recommendation that the City apply for an improvement project of Las Palmas and Royal Palm Drive Drainage including curbs, gutter and pavement at a cost of $40,598; the development of San Pasqual Park including landscaping, sprinking system, public works improvements, tot lot and equipment, game court and picnic area at a cost of $144,700; and a neighborhood center project which would be a portion of the Community Building at the Civic Center Site for a cost of $373,000. Mr. Ortega pointed out that this project was a possibility but that the most that could be awarded -'or one year was $250,000, us it would have October 25. 1Q7Q MINUTES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL nEETING VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS (Continued) A. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SIXTH YEAR BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM (Cone'd): to be done on a multi -year basis. Mayor Mullins invited input relative to the Program and none was offered. He declared the Public Hearing closed. Councilman McPherson moved and Councilman Wilson seconded to authorize Staff to submit the following projects for considera- tion in the Sixth Year Block Grant Program: 1. Improvement of Las Palmas & Royal Palm Drive Drainage including curbs, gutter & pavement - $40,598. 2. Development of San Pasqual Park, including landscaping, sprinkling system, public works improvements, tot lot and equipment, game court, and picnic area - $144,700. 3. Neighborhood Center Portion of Community Building at Civic Center Site (multi -year project) - $373,000 with application of $250,000 for Sixth Year. Motion carried unanimously. C. CASE NO. TT 15384 - BRUCE J. REIMER, APPLICANT: CONSIDERA- TION OF A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A ONE -LOT TENTATIVE TRACT MAP FOR CONDOMINIUM PURPOSES TO ALLOW CONVERSION OF A 10 UNIT APARTMENT TO CONDOMINIUMS ON APPROXIMATELY ONE ACRE IN THE R-2 (SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT) ZONE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF SANTA ROSA WAY, APPROXIMATELY 455 FEET WEST OF SAN PASQUAL AVENUE. Mayor Mullins declared the Public Hearing open and asked for Staff's report. Mr. Williams stated that the request was to convert some apartments to condominiums which would require approval of a Tentative Tract Map. He reviewed the project, stating that it would meet all the minimum standards. It was the recommendation of both the Planning Commission and Staff to approve the request with a number of conditions. Councilman Newbrander asked if these were already existing apartments, and Mr. Williams responded that they were. Mayor Mullins invited input in FAVOR of the request. MR. LEON PEAR, #2 Fordham Court, Rancho Mirage, addressed Council as the applicant and stated his concurrence with Staff and the Planning Commission. Mayor Mullins invited input in OPPOSITION to the request, and none was offered. He declared the Public Hearing closed. Councilman Wilson expressed his concern about conversion of apartments to condominiums in that there was such a dire need for apartment housing in the City. Councilman Newbrander concurred in that Council had talked of the apartment shortage for years, and this seemed in direct violation of the effort to correct the shortage. Councilman Brush stated that he too had concerns about the apartment shortage, but that this conversion seemed like the best use of the land in question. Mayor Mullins agreed that it would upgrade the area, and Councilman McPherson stated that it would provide 10 additional low-cost housing units in the City. The applicant, at this point, stated that the units would sell for approximately $60,000 while if they remained October 25, 1979 Page 7 MINUTES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS (Continued) C. CASE NO. TT 15384 (Continued) apartments, they would have to rent for at least $600/month. Councilman Brush moved and Councilman McPherson seconded to waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. 79-126, approving the Tentative Tract 15384. Motion carried on a 3-2 vote, with Councilmen Newbrander and Wilson voting NO. D CASE NOS. TRACT 12181-1 AND 12181-2 (AMENDMENT) - LEWIS HOMES, APPLICANT: CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT OF SPECIAL CONDITION NO 8 OF TRACT 12181-1 AND SPECIAL CONDITION NO. 8 OF TRACT 12181-2 TO ALLOW CHANGING 6 FT. HIGH BLOCK WALL TO "LIVING FENCE" ON NORTH BOUNDARY AND GRAPESTAKE FENCE ON SOUTH BOUNDARY. Mayor Mullins declared the Public Hearing open and asked for Staff's report. Mr. Williams reviewed the applicant's request stating that their justification was based on the fact that the rising cost of construction and the cost of the required wall would increase the costs of their homes. Mr. Williams stated that it was the recommendation of both Staff and the Planning Couuuission to deny the request inasmuch as both the Design Review Board and the Planning Commission had made adjustments to the requirement of wall upon original approval, thus pro- viding mitigation of costs. Mayor Mullins invited input in FAVOR of the request. MRS. BETTY WILLIAMS, 45-445 Portola Avenue, addressed Council on behalf of Lewis Homes. She stated that this wall would cost $76,380 which would increase the cost of the homes. She felt that the only people to benefit from the block wall were those homes backing up to the project. She also felt that people who purchased homes would like to put in their own fencing. Mayor Mullins invited input in OPPOSITION to the request. MR. JEFF WILSON, 43-650 Carmel Circle, Palm Desert, addressed Council as an adjoining property owner who felt that the block wall would make the project much more compatible with adjacent homes. MR. GREG MAJESTIC, 43-620 Carmel Circle, Palm Desert, also spoke in favor of requiring the block wall. He also raised a problem relative to some existing Tamarisk trees. It was agreed he should discuss this problem with Staff. Mayor Mullins declared the Public Hearing closed. Councilman Wilson moved and Councilman McPherson seconded to waive further reading and adopt Resolution Nos. 79-127 and 79-128. Motion carried unanimously. E. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF CITY'S PARTICIPATION IN A $6,689,000 URBAN DEVELOPMENT ACTION GRANT/LOAN APPLICATION WITH THE COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE. Mayor Mullins declared the Public Hearing open and asked for Staff's report. October 25, 1979 Page 8 MINUTES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING VII. E. URBAN DEVELOPMENT ACTION GRANT/LOAN APPLICATION (Continued): Mr. Bouman advised that this was a companion matter to that on the shopping center which Council had approved previously that night. Basically, it is a requirement of the Grant application seeking the $6,689,000 from the Federal Government to finance those projects which were contained in the resolution approving the center. This action means that the City is behind the County in seeking the Grant and further, it urges the Redevelop- ment Agency to agree to participate in the loan portion of the Grant. Mayor Mullins invited input in FAVOR of the Grant, and none was offered. He invited input in OPPOSITION to the Grant, and none was offered. He declared the Public Hearing closed. Councilman Newbrander moved and Councilman McPherson seconded to waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. 79-129. Motion carried unanimously. VIII. RESOLUTIONS A. RESOLUTION NO. 79-130 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE 1979/80 BUDGET BY TRANSFERRING A PORTION OF THE APPROPRIA- TION OF THE BUILDING AND SAFETY INSPECTION ACTIVITY TO THE FIRE REGULATION ACTIVITY. Mr. Bouman advised that when the Budget was adopted, it was the intention of the City to take over the duties of the Fire Marshal and subsequent fire inspections by our own employee. However, due to a cooperative effort with other cities and some other considerations involving the County, it has been decided to continue to contract for this service through the County Fire Department. Therefore, we have money to pay for this service, but it is not in the right portion of the Budget. This resolu- tion will correct that. Councilman Brush moved and Councilman McPherson seconded to waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. 79-130. Motion carried unanimously. B. RESOLUTION NO. 79-131 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE 1979/80 BUDGET TO PROVIDE FOR AN INCREASED GRANT AND APPROPRIATION FOR THE RANCHO ROAD AREA PROJECT IN THE COMMUNITY HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT FUND. Mr. Bouman explained that this project was originally budgeted for $150,000, but the bids came in at $290,000. Through an additional grant application, another $140,000 was approved through the Federal Block Grant for this project. This resolution would amend the Budget by increasing the Estimated Revenue and to reflect the increase in Appropriations. Councilman McPherson moved and Councilman Wilson seconded to waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. 79-131. Motion carried unanimously. C. RESOLUTION NO. 79-132 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE 1979/80 BUDGET TO PROVIDE AN APPROPRIATION FOR CONSTRUCTING CURBS AND GUTTERS ON THE EAST SIDE OF PORTOLA BETWEEN FAIRWAY AND SHADOW MOUNTAIN. Mr. Bouman advised that this project had been budgeted the previous year but had not been done. It wasn't specifically budgeted this year because Staff did not October 25, 1979 Page 9 OI and 6L6I `SZ aago00 •2uzraatu aup aalJu 3:Ius Aq paaatsuu uuagT aneq p-lnoo au pue `.g. puu .y. sutavl mnoqu suoT7sanb puu fTaaaw aq luu3 palugs gsnag uumIzouno0 2IHn0 QIHH SWIII 2IVQNHIVO INHSN00 ' X • Xisnoutzusun paTaauo uoTlow •9TZ 'oN aouuuzpaj gdopu puu 2uzpuaa aaulang an?ut of papuooas uosaaudoy4 uuutTzouno0 pue panotu usnag uutuTTouno0 • 3nduz aaggand ou sum aaaul puu `aouuuzpao au go 2uTpeaa puooas sum sTql pasznpu uumnog ay,I (NOI,LMNISN00 2IIH1,0 QNV ` SHDVdS 2I3IIVUI ` SSNOZ IFIIINHGISHa) XVI NOI1,0f12I,LSN00 M3N OI ONIZFIIH2I `VIN2I03I Iy0 ` INHSHG WIVd 3O ALI0 HHI JO H000 HHI JO 9I •8 2IHZdVHO ONIQNHNV ` VINdOJIIy0 ` INHSHQ ITIVd dO AIIO HH,L JO IIDNfI00 ALIO HHZ 3O HDNVNIQ2I0 NV - 9TZ 'ON HONVNIQNO '0 • xI snomTuuun pazaaeo uoTlow •STZ 'oN aouuuTpa0 ldopu pue 2uzpuaa aaglanJ an?uM 01 papuooas uosaaudoW uutuTTouno0 pue panoui 1snag uuuz[zouno0 gnduz aau,anj ou sum aaau puu `aoueuzpao a4T1 Jo 2uTpuaa puoaas sum sTgq quqq pasznpu ueunog •aN 6L-170 VOZ 'ON HSVO ' SHIOIHHA ITN0IIVHEDHN 30 HOV 0,LS 3HZ OI ONINIVIUHd H000 IVdIOINf N ,L2IHSHQ IA1Iyd HHI 3O OLO ' 8S ' SZ N0I,L03S ONIQNHNV `vIN2I03IIy0 `IaHSHQ NUJ JO AII0 HH1, JO IIONf100 ALIO 3HZ JO 30NVNI IU 0 NV - SIZ 'ON HONVNIQ2I0 ' g '0N 2uz�on aapuuagMaN uutuTTouno0 4V?M @Ton I-17 u uo pazaauo uoTloyl +7IZ •oN aouuuzpa0 ldopu puu 2uTpeaa aaglanJ aAT M o� papuooas uosTzfy uutuTzouno0 pue panouu uosaaudoyl uutuIzouno0 ▪ 1nduz aaulang ou sem aaagq puu `aouuuzpao au2 JO arlpeaa puooas sum sTgq quid pasznpu uutunog •ay1 6L-LO ZO '0N 3Sy0 ' (Qy02I VIH0) IIV I M02NV Ag ZSVH HH1.

CONSENT CALENDAR ITEMS HELD OVER (Continued) Councilman Brush moved and Councilman Wilson seconded to approve Items "A" and "B" of the Consent Calendar. Motion carried unanimously. XI. NEW BUSINESS A. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT FOR PERFORMANCE OF SERVICE FOR REGULATION AND CONTROL OF DOGS AND OTHER DOMESTIC ANIMALS. Mr. Bouman stated that there was a big increase in our animal control costs over the previous year, and this amendment changed the existing contract with the County to reflect the cost increases. He added that the only other way would be for the City to try to run their own animal control which would be far more costly. Councilman Brush moved and Councilman McPherson seconded to approve the request and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute said amendment. Motion carried unanimously. XII. OLD BUSINESS None XIII. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS None XIV. REPORTS AND REMARKS A. CITY MANAGER 1. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT: Mr. Bouman stated that in order to try to alleviate a temporary workload crunch in the Department of Public Works, it was requested that Council approve the temporary employment of a Mr. Leif Gustafson at a cost of $10/hour, including automobile, for public works inspections. Councilman McPherson moved and Councilman Brush seconded to approve the employment contract for Leif Gustafson, as prepared by the City Attorney, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute. Motion carried unanimously. 2. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF ENGINEERING SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH CHARLES HAVER & ASSOCIATES. Mr. Bouman advised that the Budget included an item for the installation of curb, gutter, cross gutter, and tie-in paving on Alamo Street between Haystack Road and Homestead Road. The Director of Public Works had received informal bids from four engineers with the lowest bid for engineering services from Charles Haver & Associates in the amount of $3,000 for design work. Councilman Wilson moved and Councilman McPherson seconded to accept the bid from Charles Haver & Associates and authorize its execution. Motion carried unanimously. B. CITY ATTORNEY RESOLUTION NO. 79-133 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, ACCEPTING PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY FOR STREET PURPOSES.

CITY ATTORNEY (Continued) where streets have been offered for public purposes but never accepted. This resolution would accept those streets. Councilman McPherson moved and Councilman Wilson seconded to waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. 79-133. Motion carried unanimously. C. MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL Councilman Brush stated that he had been receiving questions relative to the City's residents being able to get increased flood insurance - why we can't when Rancho Mirage and Indian Wells can. Mr. Ortega advised that our Flood Map has been updated and will be effective April 15, 1980. In the mean- time, there will be some items Council will have to consider such as some zone changes. Mayor Mullins asked that everyone note the Future Meetings listed on the Agenda. XVI. ADJOURNMENT Councilman McPherson moved and Councilman Wilson seconded to adjourn the meeting.
