CONSENT ITEMS HELD OVER E. LETTER OF RESIGNATION from Mr. Dave Rolston from the Palm Desert Economic Development Advisory Committee. Councilmember Benson suggested when Mr. Rolston is given a plaque from the Council that he, his wife, and the Economic Development Committee be invited to have dinner with the Council prior to that meeting so they can all recognize him for his efforts. Mrs. Gilligan noted that Mr. Rolston would be at the 7:00 p.m. portion of this meeting to receive his plaque but that he could be invited back for dinner. She said it was her understanding that there was a sense of urgency and concern that he would not be able to attend any other Council meeting. Mr. Wohlmuth added that he understood that Mr. and Mrs. Rolston were leaving the area for several months, and he suggested that he be presented with his plaque at this meeting and invited back for dinner prior to a future meeting. Council concurred. Councilman Crites moved to, by Minute Motion, accept the letter of resignation with sincere regret. Motion was seconded by Spiegel and carried by unanimous vote. VIII. NEW BUSINESS A. CONSIDERATION OF REOUEST FROM PALM SPRINGS DESERT RESORTS AIRLINE SERVICE COMMITTEE (ASC) RELATIVE TO THE CITY'S CONTINUING FUNDING. John Wohlmuth noted letter in the packets and said Ms. Nancy Doria was in the audience to answer any questions. MS. NANCY DORIA addressed the Council and distributed information to the Council (on file and of record in the City Clerk's Office). She discussed what had been accomplished over the past three years. She noted that the ASC had five goals: 1) to increase service into the valley; 2) to obtain year-round service; 3) to introduce low-cost carriers; 4) to obtain fair co -pricing, meaning same airfares for flights from Palm Springs as from Ontario; and 5) to retain the service once established. She said several of these goals had been reached, including increased service, year-round service, and low fares. She asked for a commitment from the City for funding over the next three years. Councilman Spiegel moved to, by Minute Motion, approve a three-year commitment from the City of Palm Desert and approve the requested contribution of $50,000 to be adjusted annually based on gross hotel sales. Motion was seconded by Benson and carried by unanimous vote of the Council. 5 MINUTES REGULAR PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 28, 1996 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * B. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS: 1. Councilman Quality Management mitigate the negative vote. Mesquite Regional Landfill. Environmental Conservation Manager Lisa Constande reviewed the report in the packets and offered to answer any questions. JUDGE RICHARD MARSH, Desert Protection Society, asked that the City help in protecting the air in the Valley and noted that the Environmental Impact Report indicated there would be a significant impact on the Valley's air quality. Councilman Crites stated he felt this was a significantly worse project than the Eagle Mountain project and that we would end up with exactly the same trains going through the Valley as we would have had with Eagle Mountain. The difference was that this project did not have the environmental impact mitigation measures as Eagle Mountain. Crites moved to, by Minute Motion, direct staff to place comments with the Air District in terms of the air quality permit for this facility to see what we can do to impacts of train traffic. Motion was seconded by Spiegel and carried by unanimous 2. Update on Interchanges: a. b. c. I-10/Washington Street I-10/Cook Street I-10/Monterey Avenue Mr. Folkers updated the Council on these projects. IX. CONTINUED BUSINESS A. REOUEST FOR CONSIDERATION OF 22ND YEAR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG), Continued from the Meetings of February 22 and March 14, 1996. Councilman Crites moved to approve the revised Option B as discussed in the Study Session earlier this date (attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "A"). Motion was seconded by Spiegel and carried by unanimous vote. 6 MINUTES REGULAR PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 28, 1996 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * X. OLD BUSINESS A. REOUEST FOR CONSIDERATION OF BERMUDA DUNES ANNEXATION FISCAL FEASIBILITY REPORT. Mr. Drell noted the report in the packets indicating a relatively low level of revenue that would be generated compared to the cost of services which would result in a $1 million annual deficit. MR. FRANK GOODMAN addressed Council and stated that while he did not wish to dispute the report itself, there were several things he did not feel were totally addressed in the report. He said there were several streets within Bermuda Dunes Country Club that were taken care of by those residents. In addition, the area had a security patrol which would cut down on the need for Sheriff Department coverage. He noted the report did not include the Bermuda Dunes Airport which generated funds from sales tax and gasoline tax. He stated that there was a tremendous amount of property along Washington Street which was zoned residential and which he felt should be rezoned commercial. This would then bring in revenue when developed. He said he felt if the City of Palm Desert took in Bermuda Dunes, it would add prestige to the City. Councilmember Benson moved to, by Minute Motion, direct staff to inform the Bermuda Dunes Community Council and LAFCO of the conclusion that the City not encourage or support annexation of Bermuda Dunes at this time based on the significant service cost/revenue shortfall revealed by the report. Councilman Spiegel seconded the motion and stated that he and Councilman Kelly were the two Councilmembers involved in this process and that he felt Bermuda Dunes was a lovely city which would be nice to have in Palm Desert but only if it was financial feasible. Councilman Crites stated that while there may be land along Washington that might be zoned commercial, Palm Desert traditionally takes in land as it currently is. He said he was not one to go in and change residential to commercial. Councilman Kelly stated that the Council's responsibility is to look to the welfare of the existing citizens. He added that he felt badly that this did not work out. Mayor Snyder called for the vote. The motion carried by unanimous vote. Mr. Goodman asked what steps should be taken for Bermuda Dunes to be included in the City of Palm Desert's sphere of influence. Mr. Drell responded that there was an application, and the City would have to consent to that. Upon question by Councilman Spiegel as to whether or not there was a time frame for the sphere of influence, Mr. Drell stated that the Local Agency Formation Commission regulations indicated that the City would still control the timing and could forestall any annexations until they make sense. 7 MINUTES REGULAR PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 28, 1996 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * XI. REPORTS AND REMARKS A. CITY MANAGER Councilman Crites moved to add two items to the Agenda which came up after the Agenda was posted. Motion was seconded by Snyder and carried by unanimous vote. 1. Rgguest for Approval of Repairs at the Cahuilla Park Tennis Courts (Contract No. C11030). Mr. Folkers reviewed the report, noting that the Parks & Recreation Commission discussed the matter of resurfacing the tennis courts and decided that forest green would be used on the inside, with spring green on the outside. In addition, he said there was a need to replace the lighting which had been vandalized. In order to proceed as rapidly as possible, staff recommended that Court Masters do both the resurfacing ($5,000) and the repairs to the lighting standards, heads, and power panel (estimated cost $15,000). Councilmember Benson moved to, by Minute Motion, authorize staff to enter into a contract with Court Masters in an amount not to exceed $20,000 for resurfacing of the tennis courts and replacement of lighting which had been vandalized. Motion was seconded by Kelly. Deputy City Attorney Doug Phillips noted that the only way for the City not to have to go out to bid on the light repairs would be because of an emergency; however, this particular project would not fit the criteria for an emergency, and he recommended that the City go out to bid on that portion. Councilmember Benson amended her motion to authorize staff to enter into an agreement with Court Masters in an amount not to exceed $5,000 and authorize staff to advertise and call for bids for the replacement of the lighting. Councilman Kelly agreed to amend his second, and the motion carried by unanimous vote. 2. Reauest for Approval of Shade Structures for Legends Fields (Contract No. Cl 0). Mr. Drell reviewed the staff report, noting that this would involve installation of twenty shade structures at a cost of $95,000. Councilmember Benson stated she felt the Cities of Indian Wells and Rancho Mirage should participate in the funding of these shade structures. Councilman Spiegel questioned the installation of shade structures and stated that the Agency Board had just discussed shifting home plate back five to ten feet and cantilevering the fence. He said he understood that these measures would solve the problem. 8 MINUTES REGULAR PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 28, 1996 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * MS. DONNA PEAT, Palm Desert Parks & Recreation Commission, stated that the Commission had discussed the urgency of rectifying the foul ball problem at these fields, and the members felt the shade structures would take care of both the shade problem and the foul ball problem. A representative from Shade Structures addressed Council and said these screens would block out 91 % of sun's the ultraviolet rays. In addition, it would be approximately 25 degrees cooler under the shades which would help the kids in the dugouts and the parents watching the games. She added that the shades would withstand winds up to 80 miles per hour. Upon question by Councilman Crites, Mr. Folkers responded that the City of Palm Desert had paid for the additional work on the backstops. Councilman Crites stated that he felt anything else that needs to be done should be paid for by the other two cities, Indian Wells and Rancho Mirage. Councilman Spiegel stated he felt this was a little league field, and he did not know of any other little league fields that had stands and covers. He recommended that we address the netting and what can be done with moving home plate back and then look at the canopy. Councilman Crites stated that the two other cities did not pay anything for the backstops. He said his bias was to see how much is solved by the cantilevering and moving of home plate first. He added that another concern he had was with adding in a replacement cost every five years or so. Councilman Kelly stated that the Cove Communities also funds maintenance. He suggested putting together a report on how much everything will cost and taking it to the Commission for discussion. Mr. Folkers added that staff could come back in two weeks with a breakdown of the costs and the time frame for doing the cantilevering mitigation. Councilman Spiegel moved to continue this matter to the meeting of April 11, 1996. Motion was seconded by Kelly and carried by unanimous vote. 9 MINUTES REGULAR PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 28, 1996 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * B. CITY ATTORNEY Mr. Philips requested a Closed Session at an appropriate time to consider items as listed on the Agenda. He also asked that the Council add an item to the Closed Session as follows: Conference with Legal Counsel - Pending Litigation pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.9 (a), Palm Desert v. Herrera, Case No. CV952702RG, filed in District Court. Councilman Crites moved to add this item to the Closed Session. Motion was seconded by Kelly and carried by unanimous vote. Request for Closed Session: Conference with Legal Counsel - Anticipated Litigation pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.9: Significant exposure to litigation pursuant to subdivision (b): Number of potential cases: 2 Conference with Real Property Negotiator pursuant to Section 54956.8: Property: 78-800 California Drive, APN 637-062-010 Negotiating Parties: Agency/Property Owner: Palm Desert Country Club Association Other Party: Ramon A.

Mrs. Gilligan noted that a Call for Artists had been sent out for the Golf Course wall with a deadline for submission of April 24. This matter will then be before the Council in June. 3. Mrs. Gilligan noted that the Historical Society book was being printed, and the City should have it by April 5th. She added that the note cards produced in conjunction with the book were available in her office if the Council wished to see them. She said they would be packaged by the Foundation for the Retarded, ten to a pack, to be sold at the Historical Society. 10 MINUTES REGULAR PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 28, 1996 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 4. Consideration of Policy for Plaques for City and Redevelopment Agency Facilities. Councilman Crites moved to, by Minute Motion, direct that the plaque for the Multi Agency Library include the name of the person who was Mayor when construction was approved as well as the names of all those individuals who were members of the Council during both the planning and construction of the Library (a total of six names -- the five current Councilmembers as well as S. Roy Wilson). Motion was seconded by Benson and carried by a 4-0-1 vote, with Councilman Spiegel ABSTAINING. D. MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL o City Council Requests for Action: 1. Discussion of a Proposed Regional Sports Complex (Mayor Pro-Tempore Richard S. Kelly). Councilman Kelly stated his intention to bring this item to the Council at its meeting of April 25th, as he will be out of town at the SCAG General Assembly Meeting on April 1 1th. 2. Consideration of Planning Commission Representation on the Section Four Committee and Project Area Four Committee. Councilman Kelly stated that he was asked by the Planning Commission to consider having a representative of that Commission on the Project Area Four Committee. He said he had discussed this with Mr. Ortega who felt it was a good idea. In addition, he said it was found that there is not usually a representative from the Redevelopment Agency present at the Planning Commission meetings, and he suggested that a member of that department provide quarterly reports to the Planning Commission as to what the Agency is doing. Councilman Crites moved to, by Minute Motion, direct that: 1) A member of the Planning Commission be included on both the Section Four Committee and the Project Area Four Committee; 2) a member of the Redevelopment Department attend the Planning Commission meetings to provide quarterly reports to the Commission regarding what the Redevelopment Agency is doing. Motion was seconded by Kelly and carried by unanimous vote. 3.

Councilmember Benson distributed a letter which she proposed be sent to the Director of the Palm Springs Regional Airport (Allen Smoot) in support of his application for a User Fee Customs Facility at the airport. Mayor Snyder stated that the Joint Powers Authority for the Thermal Airport considered this matter last evening. They indicated they would like to assist in this matter with the Palm Springs Airport and might in the future also need this type of facility. Councilmember Benson stated that this application was only for the Palm Springs Airport and that she would hate to see anything hold this up since it was in a position to be granted. She said she was on the User Fee Committee and would bring Mayor Snyder's request up at the next meeting. With Council concurrence, Mayor Snyder was authorized to sign a letter of support of an application for a User Fee Customs Facility at the Palm Springs Regional Airport. o City Council Committee Reports: 1. Councilman Spiegel asked whether the City was involved with the clubhouse at this point for the Desert Willow project. Mr. Ortega responded that the Council had authorized a contract to do a programming study to determine functions, size, etc. Once staff has that, the project will be put out to bid for design and construction of the clubhouse. In the meantime, there would be a temporary facility for approximately six months. He added that bids were received this past Tuesday for construction of the golf course. 2. Councilman Crites noted his visit to the Holocaust Museum as Palm Desert's representative. He said he had brought back a book that is available for everyone to look at. In that book, the Director of the Museum thanked the City for its contribution in Palm Desert. He noted that several groups had come to Palm Desert specifically to tour the Holocaust Memorial in the Palm Desert Civic Center Park which has recognition not only in the Valley but also throughout the Nation. He added that while he was there he made "out annual pilgrimage" in terms of Federal funding for purchase of open space lands. He said the Santa Rosa Mountains were at the top nationally, not only for the State but for the BLM and also at the top of the list for Congressman Bono's support and for President Clinton's and Secretary Babbitt's support. He added that the second 12 MINUTES -- REGULAR PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 28, 1996 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * in command for the Department of the Interior would be out in this area in about a week and a half to work with the Valley in terms of Federal funding for planning for multiple species efforts.
