M. D. $E�UEST FaR AWARD OF CONTRACT TO LAYFIELD
ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS CORPORATlON IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO
EXCEED $260,478 FOR THE DESERT WILLOW RESERVOfR COVER
REPLACEMENT (CONTRACT NO. 3 2�0, PROJECT NO. 861-12).
Mr. Greenwood stated the Desert Willow Golf Courses uses a biend of
reclaimed, recycled, and canal water as delivered from Coacheila Valley
Water District (CVWD). Water is stored in a reservoir on site at Desert
Willow, and it has a cover to limit evaporation and minimizes any smells that
might emit. The cover has been there since 1996; therefore� iYs been there
for 16 or 17 years and is unserviceabie at this point. The City used the
design build process to seek a contractor who couid provide a high quality
cover that will last a long time with a 30-year warranty. Staff recommended
award of contract to Layfield Environmental Systems Corporation who was
not the low price bidder, but who staft believes is providing the best quality
for the cfollar.
Councilmember Weber moved to, by Minute Motion: 1) Authorize award of the
subject contract to LayField Environmental Systems Corporation, Spring Valley� Califomia,
for the Desen Wiilow Resenroir Cover Replacement Project in an amount not to exceed
$260,478; 2) authorize the Director of Fnance to set aside a 10% contingency for the
project in the amount of $26,047.80; 3) authorize the Mayor to execute the contract;
4) authorize the City Manager to approve Change Orders in an amount not to exceed 50%
of the contingency ($13,023.90) — funds for the project are availabie in Course and
Grounds Expenses Ac�ourrt No. 441-4195-495-8092. Motion was sec:onded by Tanner and
carried by a 4-0 vote, with Spiegel ABSENT.
NOTE: THE FOLLOWiNG ITEM WAS ADDED TO THE AGENDA BY 40 VOTE AT THE
CONVENING OF THE MEETfNG� 3:00 P.M. (Piease ses that portion of the minutes

E. C�Qj�iSIpERATIQI4, OF REQUEST BY PALM DESERT YOUTH SPORTS
ASSOCIATION (PDYSA) FOR CONDUCTING ITS ANNUALOPENING DAY
CELEBRATION EVENT ON SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 2013.
Mayor Hamik noted this item was added to the agenda to discuss the
Opening Day Celebration for Palm Desert Youth Sports Association
(PDYSA�, stating the City has had great opening days for the
basebal!/softbali activities. The event is planned for Saturday, March 9,
2013, and the City has a short window to accomplish anything, which is why
it was added to this agenda.
Management Analyst Ryan Stendell stated that on Tuesday of this week, he
„, and City Manager discussed with PDYSA a different plan for opening day
this year, which would include the creation of a carnival event. PDYSA
proposes to use the northern area of the Civic Center Parking complex for
15

•r
camivai games and rides similar to attractions one might see at the Date r
Festival. He said City staff and PDYSA have worked tkelessty together over
the last several years to produce excellent opening day evertts, but in this
case, staff corneyed to the event producers the concems and issues as far
as timing� because per the Municipai Code, there are oonditions o� those
fields for amplified music and sound. Additiona! issues include charging for
services within parks, camping that would occur to accommodate this event,
parking, noise, and sound issues. With only three weeks out from the event,
staff requires a signi�icant amount of �me to go through the whole process,
which is why it was added as an emergency item to the agenda. He noted
representatives from PDYSA are available to answer speciiic questions
about this event.
Mayor Harnik pointed out there was a bt of information in the notebooks
provided by PDYSA, which the Council hadn't had a chance to review.
Mayor Pro Tem Benson asked if security would be provided for the everrt.
Mr. Stendell responded the event producer is actuafly proposing to have staff
on-site for the entire duration of the event, which would require specific
Council action for them to camp out. .�
Mr. Wohimuth added that aithough the opening day is scheduled for r1
March 9� the proposa! is for Friday� March 8, Saturday, March 9� and
Sunday, March 10. Hours of operation have been discussed, but haven't
been finalized. He said there are issues from camping to selling in the parlc,
which are violafions of the Municipal Code. Therefore, if the proposal is
approved, staff would need to retum at a later date with the exemptions to
the Municipal Code to address the camping� selling, parking, hours of
operation, and whatever else is needed.
MR. DOUG CAL�OWAY, Broken Arrow Trail, Palm Dessrt, and Cooniinator
of Speciai Everrts for the Palm Desert Youth Sports Association (PDYSA),
stated that opening day has grown from 1,000 to 3,000 people. A typical
opening day is Saturday where all 70 teams play a game at the Civic Cerrter
Park� there is a marching band, airplanes ftying over, and Hall of Fame
greats throwing the nrst pitch like Johnrry Bench, Don Sutton, Steve Garvey,
and the event has grown to astronomical proportions. He said they are now
proposing a weekend event, which includes Friday night, Saturday, and
Sunday, and they plan to expand the event into the parking lot. With regard
to noise, this event will actually reduce the noise, because in past events
they have used amplffied sound, marching bands, and airplanes, and now
they are proposing to eliminate those things. The event itself moves further '1
away from the fields and Monterey CouMry Club; therefore, the impact is �
less noise to the residents at Monterey. The camping accommodation is for
the carnival company to set up four or five RV campers next to the facilities

adjacent io the fields, so that camivai staff can stay there to watch the rides
and provide security. En terms of sales, it was probably Council's biggest
obstacle. The relationship with the vendor is such that they wili sell the
tickets, they keep the money, and PDYSA receives a revenue sharing for
their nonprofit organization. He has some proposals with regards to parking�
but the event will actually produce less noise; it wiil be very controlled and
very safe. He said the vendor is extremely professlonal, they have all the
proper licensing, safety checks, and is in full compliance with all State
regulations for camival rides. If Councilmembers have been to any of their
past events, hopefully they are confident in the quality and safety of their
events. He said the proposal is to extend the event into the parWng lot and
to upgrade it from bouncers to camival rides.
Mayor Pro Tem Benson asked if the resPdents at Monterey Country Club
have been advised, because if they haven`t, they should be.
Mr. Wohtmuth agreed, stating it would be a challenge for staff to make sure
that Monterey Country Club, YMCA, Desert Recreation Dist�ict, dog park
users, and tennis court users to be noti�ied. He pointed out this proposal
was presented to the City two days ago.
Mayor Pro Tem Benson stated it would concern her for Monterey Country
Club and residents along Magnesia Falis not to be aware of a camival type
of event, because she could just see a!I the telephone cails coming in on
Monday morning.
Mayor Hamik asked if there was input or consulbng from the YMCA and
Desert Recreational District.
MR. GALLOWAY replied he could only share his experience as someone
who has coached for the YMCA basketball, and coached baseball and
soccer. When he began coaching and his kids became of age, he noticed
the basebail season interfered with the basketbail season, so he requested
a meeting with the YMCA to suggest moving one weeks around to avoid
ove�iapping. However, his concem was met with apathy, but they were not
interested in adjusting at all for the benefit of the kids; therefore, he has been
disappointed with their response to working with other sports leagues. He
said opening day has been on a Saturday with a couple thousand peopfe,
cars everywhere, iYs great, the kids and family love it. tn this proposal, they
are adding Friday night, Saturday� and Sunday camival.
Mayor Pro Tem Benson reiterated it concemed her that the Country Club
hadn't been advised before the Council considers something in their back
yard. She understood the Saturday event, and Monterey County Club had
w' been on board, but the Ciry has never had a three-day camival in their back
yard.

MR. GALLOWAY e�lained the event wiil be much further away than what �
Monterey Country Club is used to, and there will be no amptifi�ed sound or DJ
playing music. Therefore, they feft the noise impact from the parking Iot to
Monterey Courttry Ciub would be none. He thanked the Councii for their
considera�on.
Counciimember Weber stated it was her understandinq that the only peopie
camping in their RVs and guarding their assets is camival staff during the
event stay.
MR. GALLOWAY stated it was his fauR for being late in submitting this
proposal, but he had been working toward this for many months and was
fortunate to have been contacted by Davis Rides, who is wiNing to take a
chance on ttiis event at great e�cpense to them. He literally met with Davis
Rides tast week� put the proposa! together� and was able to get an
appointment with Ryan Stendell to rush this proposat by the Councii. He
understood the event has impact and apologized for ooming up close to the
deadline.
Councilmember Weber commented it was the reason Councii was asking ali
these questions. She then inquired about what the vendors v�rould be sslUng. �
MR. GALLOWAY responded Davis Rides will be selling tickets for the rides. r
There will aiso be a food court for the selling of pre#zels, cotton candy, etc.,
nobng there wiU be two ride sections for small and big kid rides.
Councilman Tanner stated he appreciated Mr. Galloway calling him prior to
the meeting for an update, noting that part of their discussion was about
security and fire safety with regards to traffic coming in and out. However�
to be fair to PDYSA, including the girls softbail� typically the City would want
more time to irnesdgate, but then that would probabty only give PDYSA a
week before the first pitch is thrown. He didn't know if Fire or Police
representatives in attendance had any time to review this event, which
concemed him more than arrything else� because everyone was in it for the
security of the kids and Ciiyl residents. He invited Fi�e or Police
representatives to provide their input.
Mr. Wohlmuth pointed out that Fre and Police have not been apprised of this
event. Normally, the process is the Clty receives an application with all the
information that was probably provided in the notebook prepared by PDYSA�
and they review it. In the case of Fire, Division Chief Bill Huniey would
review the information along with the Fre Marshal for ingress, egress,
circula�on of fire trucks and emergency response vehicles. However, they
haven't had a chance to do that, because this process literally started
Tuesday (Feb. 12).

r

MINUTES
REGULAR PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 14, 2013
DIVISION CHIEF BILL HUNLEY� Palm Desert Fire/Riverside County Fre
Department/Califomia Fire, stated that as far as tents and booths, once they
are set up, they all have to be inspected and need to comply with State Fre
Marshal rules. In otherwords, there is a whole process that requires it going
through the Fire Department and Fire Marshal. Whoever is setting up the
rides wouid have to submit that infom►ation to the Fire Marshals and needs
to have it signed off by them.
Mr. Stendefl stated he ioved the effort that PDYSA put forth for the opening
day, but a lot of questions keep surfacing and '+t's ever evolving. In that
regard, he told Mr. Galloway staff would like three to six months to plan
something like this, because three weeks wasn't enough. He said staff
keeps coming up with new questions every hour; therefore, staff didn't
understand what the total affects are for this event. Responding to question�
he said the probiem is that the youth association needs assurances for the
ride manufacturer this evening, which is why this item was before the City
Council.
Mayor Harnik stated she has been to the last three opening celebrations and
they have been outstandi�g, but a recurring question is the ingress and
egress, and with a portion of the parking lot being used forthis event� it gives
her further concem. She said the lead time is not sufficient for a communiiy
park, and now it was looking at taking the community out of it, which also
concemed her. She said there will be young people there who may or may
not be part of the great event, depending on who can afford the tickets.
There are a number of concerns, and the Council is up against the wall with
no time. Additionaly, the issue of damage to parking lots, notifying tennis
court users, YM�A� Desert Recreation District, dog park users, etc., which
was a lot. She dtdn't think the Council can address atl these issues quickly
enough to come up with the right answers.
�.
...
MR. GALLOWAY replied this was certainiy not Davis Rides first rodeo,
stating they are extremely familiar with fire codes and poiice security issues.
In this event, there are two giant fire lanes with 360 tumarounds fully
prepared in the plan. He said Davis Rides liabifit�r names the City as well as
PDYSA as additional insurers on all damages to property, personal injury,
and the pa�Icing lot itself. He said Davis Rides has done the Date Festival,
County, and State fairs. He suggested tabling the motioNdecision for
another two weeks, and he will expeditiously meet with police, fire, and City
staff to address ali the concems. He went on to say he didn't feel the event
would be dispiacing anyone rather than it was bringing more to the
community, because Saturday will continue to b�ng 3,OQ0 people, and
skaters and dog park users wouid be displaced as in the past. The oniy
additional displacements are Friday night, Sunday aftemoon and night, yet
there is practicing happening out in the fields on Friday night anyway. The

disruption to the YMCA and other services available is really just Friday and �
Sunday night. He believed this event would bring more peopie rather than
it was taWng away. He thanked the Council for placing this item on this
evening's agenda.
Councilman Tanner questioned whether staff had enough time to notify ali
the partles mentioned� as well as the residents on the east side of the park�
because those residents have communicated in the past that they are not
happy with disruptions. He also asked if the lights wouid be out by
10:00 p.m.
MR. GALLOWAY responded the field lights wili be tumed off by 9:00 p.m.
and the camival conrinues uMil 10:00 p.m.
Councilman Tanner asked if staff had enough time to notify the people that
are directly and potentialiy negatively affected, at least in their own minds.
Mr. Stendell replied itwas questionable, stating staff might have enough time
to get the information out there, but he wasn't confident he would get a
valuable response.
Councilman Tanner asked Mr. Gaf{oway if there was a Ptan B.
MR. GALLOWAY explained that the high scMool had declined to perform this
year� the Marine Corps Band was disbanded, so there was no marching
band. The plan prior to finding Davis Rides was to cor�tinue with tt�e
bouncers, and the new eagle at The Uving Desert was not ready to perform,
but will be brought over next year. Therefore, they will probably go with
bouncers, have The f.iving Desert to do a tittle outreach show� and have a
petting zoo. He said it was a far cry from what the Council is used to seeing
with pianes and marching bands, so this would be going considerably
bacicwards, but if thaYs what they have to do, they wiN respect that decision.
However, this proposal was a plan to increase on past everrts to keep Palm
Desert on top of all the other leagues� because they have had the biggest
and the best. Unfort�tnately. he acknowiedge the proposal is very late. He
reiterated Plan B witl include bouncers, The Living Desert, and a petting zoo.
�
r
Mayor Pro Tem Benson stated this was a community affair and riot a
Valley-wide event, which the camival will attract. She said once peopte find
out it's a free carnival, it wiil attract a lot more peopie than normal. However,
if event producers do their homework and get it going for next year, it wouid
be a reasonable ttting to do, but to sprin9 it on the community at this point
without alt tl� checks and balances was not something she could vote in "'�
favor. She believed many of the disasters seen throughout the Country on r
large scale events was due to poor planning, and Palm Desert is not known
20

„, for planning poorly. She said it would be a disservice to the communiiy to
approve this event on such short no�ce.
Councilmember Weber asked about the free admissiort, because it appears
from the photographs that people are paying for the rides and food.
MR. GALLOWAY explained that unlike the Date Festivaf where you pay an
admission to get in, here there is no admission gate.
Councilmember Weber stated that meant people witl definitely be spending
money to do rides and so forth. With respect to the marching band, she
understood the high school band declined, but wondered how the middle
schooi responded.
MR. GALLOWAY said the middle school was not approached, and in
faimess to them, he dldn't know that their skills are at the level of the Marine
Corps or the high school. He said it wouid be fair to have to foilow a
110-piece band or the Marines.
Mayor Hamik stated it was her experience that the middle schooi band was
terrific. Councilmember Weber concurred.
Councilman Tanner pointed outthatthe kids playing in the league are middle
school students and it was worth pursuing, stating they have played in
parades and they have done well. In fact, he believed they wouid jump at
the opportunity to play. However, he agreed it may be a step backward from
the Marine Corps Band.
Mayor Hamik stated the fire issue is considerable, and there is no time to go
through all the processes required in order for this event to be safe and fully
vetted. However, she was aware that no grant was awarded to PDYSA this
year, and because she couldn't support the camival, she asked if funds
could be allocated from the unobligated General Fund Reserve to contribute
$3,000 toward opening day. She said if PDYSA couldn't get the middle
school to perform, pefiaps the funds can be somewhat of a motivational tool
for the high school or whomever to perform at the event.
Councilmember Weber stated she would iike more of a definition on what the
funds would be used for before its given, and she also wanted to know how
the grant was used in the past.
Mr. Wohlmuth responded the City of Palm Desert through its Charitable
_ Contribution Committee has funded PDYSA at least $3,000 for the opening
and $3,000 for the closing #or the past six years. Funds have been utilized
to heip praluce or offset costs for opening day ceremonies, whether it was
`� ' for the Marine Corps Band or getting a keynote speaker for a rather large
scale event with $3,000 attendees. Staff is comfortable following that type of
21

�
process, providing Councii took action to award $3,Q00 toward a produc�ve �
use oi opening day. He suggested that since there are three months before
the closing ceremony, it can be dealt with through the 2013J2014 Budget or
agendiYe at an appropriate time prior to the closing ceremony and before
the 2013J2014 Budget is approved. He noted that PDYSA has been no 't�'ied
to submit their application for opening and closing ceremonies for the
2013J20�4 Charitable Cor►trib�tion ysar as well. Thereiore, to specifically
address Councilmember Weber's concem, the City has assisted for many
years entering into contracts with PDYSA� and according to Finance, the
Charitable Contributi�on process couid go relatively smoothly if the Council
chooses to conMbute the funds.
Councilman Tanner stated he and the Council have a passion for youth
sports, however, given the amount of time to do it right� and in faimess to
PDYSA and everyone concemed, he would like to reject the proposal.
MR. GALLOWAY stated that rather then being voted down, he would prefer
to withdraw his proposai. He said they are not disappointed, because they
share the same concems for everyone's safety, and it's a big leaming
lesson. He said if there isn't enough time for the Council to ensure everyone
is safe and sound, then he will retum next year to revisit the plan. �
Responding to question, Mr. Wohlmuth expiained the agenda item was for r
considerafion of PDYSA opening celebrafion activities; therefore, the
contribution of $3,000 for opening day fetl into that topic. Additionally, the
City didn't have an application and PDYSA has withdrawn their proposal, so
the Council didn't have to take action on this activity at the park.
Councilman Tanner moved to, by Minute Motion, approved a$3,000 corrtribuuti�on
from the City's Unobligated General Fund Reserves D'iscretionary Account to PDYSA to
be applied toward a prod�cfive use for its Opening Day Cefebration Everrt, with direction
that a separate request retum to tt� City Councif at the appropriate time for a contributbn
toward the organization's Closing�lay Event in June. Mofion was seconded by Benson
and caRied by a 4-0 vote, with Spiegei ABSENT.

The Carnival will displace roughly 190 existing parking places adjacent
to the baseball fields. Other existing parking throughout Civic Center
Park will be available on a first come first serve basis.
Additional parking available at the Aquatic Center Parking Lot.
In order to compensate for both the lost places and higher volume of
patrons anticipated, we propose to ad a Satellite Parking Lot, namely
the empty lot on Fred Waring Drive and San Pablo (indicated on
diagram, next page)
Satellite Lot Loeistics:
- Signage promoting Event Parking to be procured
-Rope off the entire lot
- Mark the lot for parking spaces
- PDYSA staff to supervise the parking
If re -conditioning of the dirt is required at the expense of PDYSA, then
PDYSA will sell the parking spaces for $5.00
Supervision:
The Citizens on Patrol have been engaged to supervise the parking of
Opening Day for the past several years with great success. It is
anticipated that we will engage once again with them to assist in
directing traffic throughout Civic Center and also to suggest the
Satellite Lot and Aquatic Center Lots as well.

Each day on the Davis Enterprises Midway each and every
ride goes through a vigorous safety checklist
To ensure every guest has both a fun time and safe time.
These checklists along with the weekly, monthly and
annual maintenance checklists allow us to reduce downtime
for unexpected maintenance issues and to keeping a safer
and fun Midway.
Here are two samples of the checklists, one for a kiddy ride
and one for an adult ride.
These documents come from a California State certified

Mr. Douglas Galloway
PDYSA
Dear Mr. Galloway,
Nice meeting with you yesterday and seeing your beautiful park. We propose to bring our
portable amusement park to your opening day at your Civic Center Park and utilize part
of the parking lot to set up and operate our family fun rides.
All of our rides have been thoroughly inspected by the State of California Division of
Occupational Safety and Health and have passed their annual inspection. We have placed
safety above all other things to the extent that we use a third party ride inspection
documentation service that resulted in a zero loss run last year for our insurance
company.
We have all of the appropriate insurance with a California approved company and will
additionally insure all of the necessary participants in the opening day celebrations.
We work closely with the Fire Departments in all of the celebrations we are involved in
and all of our rides have a current registration appropriate fire extinguisher and all of the
canvas is California State Fire Marshall approved flame proof. Our food wagon has a
professionally installed Ansul fire suppression unit over the cooking area as proscribed
by fire code. I have enclosed a copy of our proposed plot plan and as you can see we
have left of access for any type of emergency equipment all around the amusement area
with clear points of egress and entry. 1 am eager to meet with them and make any changes
that would make them feel more comfortable with this first time event.

Palm Desert City Council and City Manager
73-510 Fred Waring Drive
Palm Desert, CA 92260,
Dear Mayor, City Council Members and City Manager,
Opening Day for Baseball and Softball is upon us, and we have plans to expand our event
to include activities on Friday and Sunday, the weekend of March 9th 2013 in addition to
our usual Saturday Event.
We are planning a full scale Carnival to include Rides, Mazes and Games to be placed in
the parking lot adjacent to the baseball fields and seek your approval for a Temporary
Use Permit, allowing us to engage Davis Rides to facilitate these plans.
Please find attached a detailed plan for your consideration. Rest assured that Davis Rides
is in full compliance with all California Safety Standards, is fully insured and possesses a
vast experience in producing such events that will ensure out weekend will be a safe and
memorable week end for the residents of our community. Thank you for your continued

Opening Day Event
Synopsis
The Annual Opening Day Event for PDYSA has grown dramatically
over the last 6 years. The 2012 event was host to over 2,500 guests and
was widely considered a tremendous success.
Considering the elimination of the 29 Palms Marine Corps Band and
the reluctance of the Palm Desert High Scholl Band to perform this
year, we have planned to change our event while expanding the scope as
well.
It is now our intention to create a week end of Family Friendly
Entertainment and host an entire Carnival event for Friday, Saturday
and Sunday. Complete with rides for all ages, games of chance, Mazes
and a Food & Beverage operation that features Carnival types foods,
this week end stands to serve as a hallmark event where families with
children can socialize and mingle without the seedy element that similar
events in other cities seem to attract.
Youth Sports is the perfect centerpiece, to host a Carnival geared
towards the families of Palm Desert.
Admission is free to all and patrons may choose to buy tickets for the
rides and attractions they wish to participate in.
