FUTURE EXPANSION OF THE JOSLYN SENIOR CENTER (JOINT
CONSIDERATION WITH THE PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL).
Mr. Wohlmuth stated the two subject parcels in the Long Range Property
Management Plan were placed in as government use properties for the expansion
or master plan of the Joslyn Center, the senior center serving the cities of Rancho
Mirage, Indian Wells, and Palm Desert. In discussion with the Department of
Finance (DOF), since there was no formal action made by the Council prior to the
dissolution of Redevelopment, DOF indicated their potential denial of the Property
Management Plan based on no formal action. However, they provided the City
and Successor Agency the option of passing the proposed Resolution, which
declares the Council's intent to maintain this land for future expansion of the
Joslyn Center.
