REOUEST FOR APPROVAL OF CONTRACT *RD-122 - CONSULTANT SERVICES FOR MASTER PLAN FOR CIVIC CENTER SITE AND AUTHORIZATION FOR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO ENTER INTO AGREEMENT WITH KENNEDY/JENKS/CHILTON. Mr. Ortega reviewed the staff report and stated that a committee comprised of staff members, Councilmembers, and Planning Commissioners had interviewed several architectural firms that had submitted proposals and that extensive background checks had been made on the firm selected, that firm being Kennedy/Jenks/Chilton, and staff was now recommending that the Agency Board approve the agreement before it. He concluded his statements by noting that Mr. Rick Holden, a local architect, was a member of this team. Member Wilson moved to, by Minute Motion, approve the agreement for consultant services and authorize the Executive Director to enter into an agreement with Kennedy/Jenks/Chilton to accomplish the Master Plan for the Civic Center Site.

Upon further clarification from staff that this would not be a conflict, Member Snyder moved to authorize staff to go ahead with the understanding that nothing would go in that would not be compatible with the future extension of Magnesia Falls Drive and that staff further be directed to investigate right-of-way that had been granted to the City by past developers. Member Wilson seconded the motion. Motion carried by unanimous vote. Chairman Kelly expressed concern with the moving of the signal from Rutledge Way to this entrance. Mr. Altman responded that children crossing on Portola would be taken to the signal at the new location which would ensure traffic safety. Member Snyder moved to, by Minute Motion, approve the concept of extending Magnesia Falls Drive west of Portola Avenue as the new entry for the Palm Desert Mobile Park; 2) authorize additional engineering design as part of the contract with ASL Consulting Engineers for the necessary engineering in an amount of $3,000; 3) authorize staff to negotiate with Colich Construction Company to perform the Magnesia Falls extension improvements; and 4) appropriate $120,000 from Redevelopment Agency funding for construction of the Magnesia Falls Extension improvements.
