VII. CONSENT ITEMS HELD OVER
J. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL of Agreement for the Installation of Holiday Decorations
(Contract No. C13421).
Mayor Pro-Tempore/Vice Chairman Spiegel said some months ago he had attended a
convention with the Mayor where some great -looking holiday decorations had been seen and
felt that with the opening of the Gardens of El Paseo prior to the holiday season, this issue may
need revisiting for provision of additional decorations. He asked Mrs. Gilligan whether she
could provide any information or assistance to this end.
Mrs. Gilligan replied that the gentleman had been in touch with her, was asked to wait until
after the Fourth of July, he then went on vacation, and she anticipated meeting with him in the
next two weeks.
Mayor Pro-Tempore/Vice Chairman Spiegel moved to, by Minute Motion, authorize the Mayor to
execute the annual holiday decoration installation and storage agreement with The Jarvis Company, Byron,
California, in the amount of $4,065.00. Motion was seconded by Ferguson and carried by unanimous vote.

IX. NEW BUSINESS
A. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT BETWEEN THE CITY
OF PALM DESERT AND THE COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES (CONTRACT NO. C06896).
Councilman/Member Ferguson moved to, by Minute Motion, approve the amendment and authorize
the Mayor to execute same. Motion was seconded by Spiegel and carried by unanimous vote.
X. OLD BUSINESS
A. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF PALM DESERT COUNTRY CLUB NEIGHBORHOOD
TRAFFIC STUDY.
Councilman/Member Ferguson asked what the scope of services involved on this $90,190.00
contract.
Mr. Mark Greenwood, Transportation Engineer, responded that the Palm Desert Country Club
area had generated substantial requests and complaints about traffic since the area had been
annexed. He stated the scope of services was quite extensive, including many meetings with
neighborhood groups, residents, City officials, and various committees and commissions in
order to identify all the problems up front. He said the current situation was a piecemeal effort
where anything done in one area may negatively affect another, and staff wished to avoid this
situation. He said the scope, therefore, was to identify the problems, recommend action,
follow up with implementation of corrective measures, and conclude with an after study to
determine if those measures were effective.
Councilman/Member Ferguson asked if there were some estimate of human hours dedicated
to the project.
Mr. Greenwood responded that in Phase I - Identification of Concerns, there were 648 hours;
Phase III - Follow Up Study, 156 hours; and for Phase II - Implementation, the amount of time
had not been determined.
Councilman/Member Crites noted that the Council and staff had heard all these issues
numerous times and felt that 15 weeks of one person's time was unnecessary in order to find
out what the issues were. He added that oftentimes consultants came back with their ideas
which did not fit in with the tone of Palm Desert nor the Coachella Valley; therefore, nothing
would occur to change the situation.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Mr. Greenwood hoped this process would not work like that. He said the process would
involve the whole neighborhood coming together to identify all of its concerns and to
recommend to the City what it wanted to see in the way of corrective actions.
Councilman/Member Crites asked why this could not be done by sending Mr. Greenwood out
to gather this information. He estimated that a whole stoplight could be paid for with the
savings realized.
Mr. Greenwood stated it might not be that simple; however, it was a possibility whether staff
or the contractor spent 648 hours gathering the necessary information.
Mayor/Chairman Benson recalled a traffic control issue in the Palm Desert Country Club area
near Kansas. She said a neighborhood survey was sent out, they could not agree; then when
the City decided to do nothing, the neighbors came back and wanted something done by the
City.
Councilman/Member Crites commented that after the nearly $100,000.00 was spent, the issue
would end up back here with the exact same set of issues, with some who liked it and some
who did not, and he did not foresee anything changed.
Mayor/Chairman Benson stated she was under the impression that the study would encompass
more than the Palm Desert Country Club area.
Mr. Greenwood stated it was the area generally between Hovley Lane West, Washington,
Fred Waring, and the Indian Wells city limit.
Mayor Pro-Tempore/Vice .Chairman Spiegel asked if the proposed study had been presented
to the Project Area No. 4 Committee.
Mr. Greenwood responded that the Project Area No. 4 Committee had been included in the
scope as one of the partners throughout the process, but it had not been presented to them for
their approval.
Councilman/Member Ferguson said that while he was not an engineer, it seemed reasonable
to him that if the neighborhood was asked what they wanted to do, they would do what was
best for them and not for the City of Palm Desert. He asked if there were traffic counts,
engineering standards, service levels and their relation to the rest of the City which needed
consideration, as well.
Mr. Greenwood responded affirmatively and added that this was a neighborhood traffic study —
focusing primarily on the residential and some commercial area in the vicinity. He felt, for

example, that installation of a stop sign somewhere in the neighborhood would not affect
traffic in general.
Councilman/Member Ferguson asked about barricading streets.
Mr. Greenwood answered that streets had already been barricaded in the area, and he hoped
to avoid doing more in the future.
Councilman/Member Ferguson followed up on Mayor Pro-Tempore/Vice Chairman Spiegel's
question as to why the scope of services for the study had not been reviewed with the Project
Area No. 4 Committee.
Mr. Greenwood said it was only because they were anxious to get the project underway, but
added he would be happy to review it with them.
Mayor Pro-Tempore/Vice Chairman Spiegel stated that without the Committee's 100%
support, he was unsure this would work, as he said their group was guiding the direction of the
area's development since it was now a part of the City instead of the County. He felt
uncomfortable supporting the issue without confidence that the Committee supported it. He
suggested Parsons Transportation Group make a presentation regarding their goals for the study
to the Project Area No. 4 Committee.
Councilman/Member Crites added that the referral to the Committee should include a request
for their opinion if they had $90,000.00 to spend, would they choose to allocate those funds
in this manner.
Mayor Pro-Tempore/Vice Chairman Spiegel moved to, by Minute Motion, refer the proposed traffic
study to the Project Area No. 4 Committee for its review and recommendation back to the City Council.
Motion was seconded by Kelly and carried by unanimous vote.
B. REQUEST FOR AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND STREET
IMPROVEMENTS AT SAN PABLO AVENUE FROM HIGHWAY 111 TO EL PASEO
(PROJECT NO. 634B-98).
Mr. Holtz stated award of the contract to Contreras Construction, Indio, California, was
requested with commencement of construction as soon as possible thereafter.
Mayor Pro-Tempore/Vice Chairman Spiegel asked if there was a time schedule.
Mr. Holtz replied that the job had to be complete prior to October 1.

Mayor Pro-Tempore/Vice Chairman Spiegel asked if all the work would be complete including
the right-of-way.
Mr. Holtz responded yes, on San Pablo.
Councilman/Member Kelly recalled looking at various parts of this project and making
comments in the past, but he said he would appreciate seeing what was being awarded in order
to avoid something like awarding two lanes on Gerald Ford.
Mr. Holtz offered to have the plans brought to the to the Council immediately.
Councilman/Member Ferguson added that he also would appreciate receipt of more detailed
information with regard to awarding any public works projects.
Mr. Diaz stated that in the future, the staff report which was provided when authorization to
bid was requested would be included with the report for award of contract, as would a map of
same.
With Council concurrence, Mayor Benson suspended the Agenda at this point in order to proceed
while awaiting receipt of the plans for Council's review for this Item as well as Item C.
Following receipt of the requested information, Councilman/Member Crites moved bo, by Minute
Motion: 1) Award Contract No. C14430 to Contreras Construction, Indio, California, in the amount of
$173,441.50, plus a ten percent (10%) contingency in the amount of $17,344.15 -- funds are available in
Account No. 213-4342-433-4001; 2) authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement. Motion was seconded
by Spiegel and carried by unanimous vote.
C. REQUEST FOR AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND STREET
IMPROVEMENTS AT MONTEREY AVENUE AND FRED WARING DRIVE
(PROJECT NO. 635-98).
Following receipt of the information as requested in the above discussion, Councilman/Member
Crites moved to, by Minute Motion: 1) Award Contract No. C14440 to Contreras Construction, Indio,
California, in the amount of $229,621.00 for the subject contract and authorize a ten percent (10%)
contingency in the amount of $22,962.10 -- funds are available in the Year 2000 Fund; 2) authorize the
appropriation of $252,583.10 from the Year 2000 Fund to the project account; 3) authorize the Mayor to
enter into an agreement with Contreras Construction. Motion was seconded by Spiegel and carried by
unanimous vote.

D. REQUEST FOR AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR THE EL PASEO PALM TREE PROJECT
(PROJECT NO. 600-98).
Councilmen/Members Crites and Ferguson requested more information on the subject project.
Mr. Jerry Clark, Urban Forester, stated the project involved planting 23 palm trees along El
Paseo, of which 13-14 represented new tree locations, and the remainder were to fill existing
tree wells that had been abandoned due to the previous trees dying, or had been covered with
concrete at one time. He said the project also encompassed enlarging several tree wells which
were less than 4 feet x 7 feet wide. He said during an inventory earlier this year, it was
discovered that the tree wells lacked uniformity; therefore, staff decided that the best course
of action would be to enlarge the tree wells to a 4 foot x 7 foot minimum size. He said doing
so would allow the trees to grow adequately, if not better, and ensure that concrete would not
be broken in the future when the palm tree roots expanded. He said the project would first
plant, where possible, more palm trees in order to fill in the entire corridor from Highway 111
through El Paseo and up to Highway 74. He said the majority of new trees to be planted
would be located on the north side of El Paseo, west of San Luis Rey; those trees would also
be provided with a new irrigation system controlled by the City in order to ensure proper care
for the trees. He said thirdly, the project would care for the existing trees and tree wells to
ensure adequate growing room for their future development.
Councilman/Member Ferguson asked what type of trees were involved, their maturity at
planting, and if the contract amount included acquisition of the palms or only reflected labor.
Mr. Clark responded the palms going in were Mexican Fan Palms, which were the of the type
that currently existed throughout the corridor with the exception of a few Queen Palms. He
said their growth rate was approximately one foot to one and one-half feet per year, and their
potential height would reach 60-80 feet at full maturity several years from now. He added the
contract amount reflected procurement and placement of the trees and said their size at
placement would be approximately 18 feet tall.
Mayor/Chairman Benson asked whether any trees would be placed in the parking lot.
Mr. Clark stated this contract did not include any work within the parking lots; that was a
separate item on the President's Plaza parking lot.
Mayor/Chairman Benson asked whether there were any local arborists.
Mr. Clark replied none responded to this call for bids; only one bid was received for the
project.

Councilman/Member Ferguson asked how the 18-foot trees to be installed related to the
existing palms.
Mr. Clark answered that the palms planted several years ago were 16 feet tall, and they were
approximately 18 feet tall presently; therefore, the initial planting size was increased here in
order to match the existing trees.
Mr. Diaz asked Mr. Clark to address the manner in which the location of this planting was
chosen.
Mr. Clark stated he had worked closely with Sonia Campbell for locations of new tree
placements at the request of the tenants and property owners along El Paseo who desired the
void areas be filled as soon as possible.
Councilman/Member Crites moved to, by Minute Motion: 1) Award Contract No. C14570 to Golden
Bear Arborists, Inc., Monrovia, California, in the amount of $69,376.00 for the El Paseo Palm Tree
Project and authorize a ten percent (10%) contingency of $6,937.60 -- funds are available in the project
account; 2) authorize the Mayor to enter into an agreement with Golden Bear Arborists. Motion was
seconded by Spiegel and carried by unanimous vote.

o City Council Requests for Action:
1. Prototype Bus Shelter - Mayor Pro-Tempore/Vice Chairman Spiegel stated that
as a result of the discussion just completed regarding contract awards for
projects located at San Pablo Avenue and Fred Waring Drive, staff had been
requested to design a recommended prototype bus shelter in the near future so
that it might be reviewed by Council.
Councilman/Member Kelly noted that Councilman/Member Ferguson had
suggested a provision for this be included in the zoning ordinance. He said that
with regard to bus line when development occurred, possibly a requirement for
compatible shelter be included in the approval. He recalled several projects
where this issue had been discussed, but when the project was complete, the
shelter was forgotten.
Mayor Pro-Tempore/Vice Chairman Spiegel asked for response on the idea of
one, uniform bus shelter for the City of Palm Desert that would be standard as
the years went by.
Councilman/Member Kelly said he liked the idea; however, he questioned
whether they should all look the same, and thought there was merit in their
individualization.
Mayor Benson agreed and felt they should be compatible with the building
where they were located.
Councilman/Member Kelly stated that a bus shelter was scheduled to be built
on the corner of Portola and Highway 111, and he said after giving it some
thought, he was sorry it was decided to place a building there. He thought this

would have been a prime location for park and ride. He said, nevertheless, he
hoped an attractive bus shelter could be designed for this site.
Councilman/Member Ferguson suggested asking Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance Review to review the issue and make recommendation.
Mr. Diaz said a report outlining steps for implementation of a bus shelter
program would be provided at the September 10 meeting, and suggested after
this was presented that the process of a zoning ordinance amendment was
begun.
Councilman/Member Kelly added he had recently discussed park and ride lots
with Corky Larson, of CVAG; she agreed with him and was proceeding to
investigate possible placement of one near the Monterey interchange.
Mr. Diaz offered to offered to investigate other possibilities within the City for
park and ride lots.
Councilman/Member Kelly stated plans at the Town Center included one.
