INVOCATION - Member Jean M. Benson VIII. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS - B MR. DANA HOBART, Mayor Pro Tem for the City of Rancho Mirage, addressed the Agency Board/City Council to request the City of Palm Desert consider joining Rancho Mirage in opposing the revised, amended compact between the State of California and the Agua Caliente Tribe. He said under that compact, the Agua Caliente Tribe would gain a third casino, which the City of Rancho Mirage would accept. But specifically, Rancho Mirage's concern arose from the compact's Section 10.8.8 that says the only cities with the right to require negotiations with a tribe concerning negative offsite impacts are those where the casino is "within the city." He noted that the City of Rancho Mirage is adjacent to the Agua Caliente Casino, within a mile of its location; the City of Palm Desert is even closer, although its adjacent territory is primarily undeveloped to date. As an adjacent city with 2 PRELIMINARY MINUTES ADJOURNED REGULAR PALM DESERT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEETING NOVEMBER 16, 2006 numerous negative impacts from the casino, there is no right to compel negotiation with the tribe. When an adjacent city submits its comments relative to a tribe's environmental impact reports, the tribe only has to explore what is submitted and not take any further steps. However, if the casino was located within the city, the tribe would have to enter into negotiations; and if a mutually satisfactory conclusion wasn't reached, the city could take the matter to arbitration. Therefore, the City of Rancho Mirage was hoping all Coachella Valley cities would see the importance of that compact, which will be recirculated in the State Legislature starting with the seating of the new term in January. Rancho Mirage proposes that the compact state that cities within or adjacent to a tribal casino should have the right to compel negotiations with the tribe in the event an agreement can't be reached over the negative aspects of the offsite impacts. He said Rancho Mirage has had this experience while negotiating over the past two years concerning expansion of the Agua Caliente Casino, with a 16-story hotel at 173 feet high and 50% expansion of the casino. At this point, they are faced with either accepting an undervalued monetary offer for mitigating the negative impacts on the City of Rancho Mirage or they will have to walk away from the table. In the 1999 compact, or if the language modification was part of the new compact, the City of Rancho Mirage would have the right to compel negotiations over the negative impacts, up to and including arbitration. The City of Rancho Mirage was hopeful the Governor and the Tribe would agree to expand the definition in Section 10.8.8. He offered that perhaps it was not critical to the City of Palm Desert, but the terms of the proposed compact would likely become the model for the future, and the opportunity to compel negotiations with any tribe when it decides to build or expand a casino would be gone. It was Rancho Mirage's further hope that the City of Palm Desert would give serious consideration to their request for support in this matter. Chairman/Mayor Ferguson acknowledged Mr. Hobart's request and advised that the matter would be considered by the City's Legislative Review Committee for a recommendation to the City Council. He added that the City of Palm Desert did supply comments on the Agua Caliente's proposed hotel but assumed its clout was nominal. MR. HOBART noted that with regard to the City of Rancho Mirage's specific plan for its portion of Section 19 near tribal land, the Tribe has much more influence and ability to oppose a such City project when the situation is reversed, up to and including court proceedings. He offered to provide a full copy of the compactor any additional materials to anyone interested. In answer to Vice Chairman/Mayor Pro Tem Kelly's question about Section 19, whether or not the City of Rancho Mirage was planning a bike path/trail along the railroad right-of-way in its jurisdiction to connect with the one Palm Desert was planning, Mr. Hobart said it was the first he'd heard of it. But he would raise the 3 PRELIMINARY MINUTES ADJOURNED REGULAR PALM DESERT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEETING NOVEMBER 16, 2006 issue, and Palm Desert City staff was encouraged to work with Randy Binder of the City of Rancho Mirage on this proposal. MR. STAN FORD, General Manager of the Coachella Valley Recreation & Park District, announced that the District was hosting its second "Desert Rock" concert in the Civic Center Park tonight, the final event in the three-part series. Tonight's group was the Grassroots, a popular `60s band; only nine bands in history have charted more hits in the top 100 than they have. Additionally, they hold the attendance record for a single -act concert — 600,000 attended their concert in Washington, D.C. While it wouldn't top that number, he felt tonight's turnout would be good. He thanked Mr. Ortega for his assistance in arranging these events and hoped the City Council would be able to stop by tonight after this meeting. IX. AWARDS, PRESENTATIONS, AND APPOINTMENTS A.
