CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (REP) FOR SOUTHEAST CORNER OF PORTOLA AND HIGHWAY 111. Mr. Winklepleck reviewed the staff report and recommendation for approval. Member Crites spoke against Option B saying the two-story building was a monstrosity and one which would eliminate the frontage road and only provide isolated parking on one end. Upon question by Chairman Snyder, Mr. Ortega responded that the City owned the land and had purchased it to widen the intersection of Highway 111 and Portola Avenue. He said after the improvements, the site would still be buildable, but the City should try to recoup the money spent to purchase it and allow the developer to participate in the cost of the street improvements. Member Crites moved to, by Minute Motion, approve the site plan/development Altematives "A" and "C" as provided and authorize staff to issue a request for proposals to pursue the development of the southeast corner of Portola and Highway 111 in accordance with the recommended alternatives outlined in the staff report dated August 22, 1991. Member Kelly seconded the motion, and it carried by unanimous vote. B. REOUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF PROJECTS THROUGH BOND ISSUE. Mr. Ortega reviewed the report and recommendation. Councilman Crites moved to: As the Palm Desert Financing Authority, waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. FA-4, declaring its intention to reimburse from the proceeds of tax-exempt bond moneys of the City to be expended for a portion of the cost of the expansion of the Civic Center and the installation and construction of the North Portola Storm Drain; as the City Council, waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. 91-100, declaring its intention to cause to be reimbursed from the proceeds of tax- exempt bond moneys of the City to be expended for a portion of the cost of the expansion of the Civic Center and the installation and construction of the North Portola Storm Drain; as the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency, waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. Q, declaring its intention to reimburse from the proceeds of tax-exempt bond moneys of the City to be expended for a portion of the cost of the expansion of the Civic Center and the installation and construction of the North Portola Storm Drain.

CONSIDERATION OF DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE PICNIC PAVILION FOR CIVIC CENTER PARK ON THE BASIS OF SOLE SOURCE SUPPLIER. Mr. Folkers reviewed the staff report, noting that this had been discussed by the Civic Center Steering Committee yesterday. He stated that by using prefabricated rather than assembled on site components, for $63,000 we could build a 3,000 square foot facility versus 1,000. He said it was staffs recommendation that the City purchase the material from W.H. Porter, Inc. and negotiate with the contractor currently on board to put in the foundation and all the necessary structure. He said he hoped to have the facility constructed by the Golf Cart Parade. Member Kelly moved to, by Minute Motion, approve the Sole Source Procurement of a Poligon 60 Hexagon Picnic Pavilion manufactured by W.H. Porter, Inc. for incorporation into the Civic Center Park. Motion was seconded by Snyder and carried by unanimous vote. X. REPORTS, REMARKS, AND AGENCY BOARD ITEMS REQUIRING ACTION A. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR None B. AGENCY COUNSEL Absent C.
