STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: APPOINT A CITY DESIGNEE AND ALTERNATE TO THE COACHELLA
VALLEY ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP BOARD
SUBMITTED BY: Ruth Ann Moore, Economic Development Manager
DATE: June 23, 2011
CONTENTS: Letter of Request
Recommendation
By Minute Motion, select and appoint a City designee and alternate to the Coachella
Valley Economic Partnership.
Background
As an investor and participant of the Coachella Valley Economic Partnership, the City has had a
seat on the Board of Directors. Ruth Ann Moore was appointed by the City Council in May of
2010 for a one-year term. Last year, approximately one-half of the cities were appointing the
person in charge of economic development to the board, with the other half appointing a City
councilperson.
Since that time, of the other eight cities in the valley, seven have appointed a councilperson for
the board with the economic development manager or director appointed as the alternate.
In light of this staff recommends the Council appoint a City Council member to the CVEP Board
of Directors and the economic development manager as the alternate.
Meetings are held at 7:30 a.m. on the third Wednesday of each month, and the term will be for
one year beginning July 1, 2011. Members are required to attend board meetings and
participate in at least one standing or ad hoc committee during the term.
Fiscal Analysis
No fiscal impact is related to the motion.

Dear John,
Following up our conversation, it is my understanding that the Palm Desert City Council will be
appointing a new City representative on the Coachella Valley Economic Partnership (CVEP)
Board of Directors. We look forward to working with whoever is appointed by the City Council.
I understand that the City's designee will be seated at our regular July Board meeting. Prior to
that meeting, I would be happy to meet with the City's new Board member and provide an
overview of CVEP and our economic development initiatives.
We thank you for your service on the Board representing the City of Palm Desert. Please
contact me if you have any questions.
