Discussion: As part of the widening of Fred Waring Drive, raised concrete median islands are being constructed between Phyllis Jackson Drive and Washington Street. Fred Waring Drive is bisected by the boundary line between Palm Desert and Indian Wells except for the one -mile segment along the frontage of Toscana Country Club, which is wholly within the City of Indian Wells. Hovley Lane East is bisected by the boundary between Palm Desert and Indian Wells. Because Palm Desert is accustomed to installing and maintaining water -efficient landscapes, it is intended that Palm Desert contract for the construction and maintenance of the medians. After construction is complete, Indian Wells will reimburse Palm Desert for the portion of work constructed within its boundaries. Additionally, the City of Palm Desert will periodically invoice the City of Indian Wells for the maintenance of the subject medians. Agreement with the City of Indian Wells — Median Installation and Maintenance Page 2 of 2 June 14, 2007 A portion of the landscape installation (from Phyllis Jackson Drive to California Avenue) has already been completed. The City of Palm Desert is currently maintaining these recently -completed medians on Fred Waring Drive as well as the medians on Hovley Lane East, with the understanding that a reimbursement agreement is forthcoming. These two agreements with the City of Indian Wells define the roles and funding responsibilities of each party with respect to the construction and maintenance of the subject improvements. A summary of the agreements is as follows: 1. The City of Palm Desert will be the lead agency for the projects. 2. The project will consist of the installation and maintenance of plant material and hardscape in the medians on Fred Waring Drive from Phyllis Jackson Lane to Washington Street, and the maintenance of the medians on Hovley Lane East along the frontage of Toscana Country Club. 3. The City of Indian Wells shall be responsible for 50% of the cost of the improvements shared between both cities, and 100% of the cost of improvements made wholly within the City of Indian Wells 4. After the installation is complete, the City of Palm Desert will invoice the City of Indian Wells for its portion of the cost. 5. The City of Palm Desert shall periodically invoice the City of Indian Wells for its portion of the maintenance cost. The attached agreements were reviewed and approved by our City Attorney. After execution, the agreements will be sent to the City of Indian Wells for their approval. Therefore, staff recommends that City Council, by minute motion authorize the Mayor to execute the subject Agreements. Approval. Homer Croy ACM for Dev Carlos L.
