Subject: Financial Advisory Board
Dear Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers,
I am submitting my interest in serving on the Financial Advisory Board (FAB). I met with the City Manager to ascertain the qualifications, and I believe I would be a good fit.
As many of you know, I have 30+ years of experience working in municipal government. For many of those years, at least half, I managed an approximately 30- million-dollar budget. This included the process from start to finish; presentations were made to the City Council, and a budget was adopted. It also included managing those funds each fiscal year, ensuring that the department was within budget parameters.
When I retired from municipal government, I worked for Apple and was responsible for developing and managing the Worldwide Apple Security budget. This broadened my experience to include the private sector.
I would be a good addition to the FAB. My primary goal is to gain knowledge and discuss how efficient the city is with its finances in the community.
I appreciate your consideration.
Sincerely,
Louie Yarborough

Item No. 2.B
Meeting Date: April 24, 2024
From: George Crum, Chief of Police
Title: Cathedral City Police Department 2023 Crime Stats RECOMMENDATION:
This item is presented for information, discussion and direction only.
BACKGROUND:
It is important to consistently review and discuss crime statistics on a monthly and annual basis and examine the historical crime data regularly to measure our existing policing model and adapt as necessary to crime trends as they develop. The Police Department utilizes current and historical crime data to deploy personnel more effectively and efficiently to assist in reducing crime and fear in the community. This presentation will consist of a five-year comparison of Part 1 crimes covering calendar years 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. A second two-year comparison of Part 1 crimes will be presented covering calendar years 2022 and 2023.
DISCUSSION:
Many cities experienced a significant increase in property crimes and decreases in violent crimes. Across the nation in 2023, the crime of murder decreased by 10% in major American cities. The national homicide rate remained 18% higher than in 2019 according to the Council on Criminal Justice. In 2023, aggravated assault dropped 3%, robberies increased 2%, commercial burglaries increased 7%, larcenies decreased 4%, motor-vehicle theft, a crime that has been on the rise since the summer of 2020 increased 29%. Overall, crime rates are largely returning to pre-COVID levels as the nation distances itself from the height of the pandemic.
In evaluating our Part 1 crimes from calendar year 2019 through calendar year 2023, We looked at the total number of Part 1 crimes committed each year. Our totals for each respective year are as follows. 2019 (716 crimes), 2020 (793 crimes), 2021 (912 crimes), 2022 (959 crimes) and 2023 (963 crimes). As you can see, our total number of Part 1 crimes have increased in the past five years.
Our two-year Part 1 crimes saw a 50% decrease in Homicide, a 20% decrease in Rape, 7% decrease in Robbery, 26% decrease in Aggravated Assaults and a 12% decrease in Motor Vehicle theft. The city experienced an 11% increase in Burglary and a 10% increase in Larceny. It should be noted that felony domestic violence assaults were not included in the overall number of Aggravated Assaults.
Overall Cathedral City experienced a 0.4% increase in Part 1 crimes from 2022 through the end of 2023. Our largest increase occurred with the crime of Burglary which included crimes such as commercial and residential burglary. In 2023, the pandemic restrictions continued to ease, and more people were returning to the workforce and not spending as much time at home as we saw in 2022. Less people working from home presented more opportunities for home burglaries and auto thefts to take place.
In 2023, many cities began reporting crime data to the FBI through NIBRS (National Incident Based Reporting) and discontinued the use of UCR (Uniform Crime Report). As a result of this transition from UCR to NIBRS and the amount of data changing, obtaining surrounding crime rates in neighboring cities has been a challenge.
We find it significant that each category of violent crime decreased in our city when comparing 2022 to 2023 violent crime categories. Our city's decrease in violent crime is attributed to several factors which include a responsive and proactive police department, having a trusting relationship with our community we serve and having a good working relationship with other city departments and our allied law enforcement agencies in the Coachella Valley.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN:

City Council
Item No. 2.C
Meeting Date: April 24, 2024
From: George Crum Chief of Police, Michael Contreras, Fire Chief Title: Fourth of July Response to Fireworks
RECOMMENDATION:
For Information and Discussion Only
BACKGROUND:
Over the years, the city has had issues with the illegal discharge of fireworks throughout the city. The ordinance permitting “Safe and Sane” fireworks in Cathedral City was repealed by city council vote on March 25, 2020. With the repeal of the “Safe and Sane” fireworks ordinance, and the adoption of the 2019 California Fire Code, all fireworks are prohibited in Cathedral City.
In previous years the Police Department has deployed additional officers to directly respond to and handle the influx of calls for service dealing with fireworks. This has helped provide an opportunity for officers to be dispatched directly to calls for service regarding fireworks, while allowing regular patrol to respond to non-firework related calls.
The following chart shows the number of calls for service over the corresponding year, along with the three-day period of July 4th.
Year Fireworks Calls for the
Year
Total Calls for Service July 3rd – July
5th
2019 253 116
2020 1069 205
2021 340 138
2022 369 135
2023 303 69
DISCUSSION:
During the Fourth of July holiday period, the Police Department will add additional personnel to help with the response and enforcement related to fireworks activity. These additional officers will assist and supplement the regularly scheduled officers. Citizens on Patrol have also assisted in previous years and will also be deployed with additional officers. Citizens on Patrol have provided an extra resource in reporting aerial fireworks and also provides a visual presence throughout the city.
The police department will continue to utilize social media platforms to warn those in the community the discharge of fireworks is illegal.
An operational plan will be distributed to on-duty officers, providing information on the enforcement of illegal fireworks.
The department will utilize its drone (UAS), as staffing permits, to allow the ability to locate firework activity. The department’s UAS is operated within the FAA guidelines and there are areas of the city it may not be able to be operated due to flight restrictions.
Subjects who are found to be in possession of and/or discharging fireworks will face criminal charges. The police department will be proactive in enforcing violations as in previous years.
The below chart shows the citations and arrests for the previous three years.
Year Citation & Arrests
2021 7
2022 6
2023 2
Confiscated fireworks will be disposed of in coordination with the Fire Department.
The Fire Department will not be adding additional staff based on previous years call types and call volume. They will be conducting a community outreach and education program consisting of a social media campaign, community ad campaign and education through signs on bus stops, the city electronic billboards and others.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact for the additional officers would be overtime compensation. The overtime has been previously adopted into the Police Department’s operating budget for the fiscal year.
FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal E: Safety – Cathedral City is safe for all who live, work, visit, and play in our community.
Action E-10: Implement community engagement and public education initiatives to increase awareness regarding public safety programs, services, and results of proactive community policing efforts.

Item No. 2.D
Meeting Date: April 24, 2024
From: Michael Contreras, Fire Chief
Title: Fire Department Cadet Program
RECOMMENDATION:
For Information, discussion and direction only
BACKGROUND:
Cathedral City Fire Department (CCFD) has put a large focus on the community and its community risk reduction program. The fire cadet program is a community-based program that gives young men and women who are growing up in the community exposure to the fire service, and specifically CCFD as a career opportunity. In the post pandemic fire service, the number of interested young adults who are qualified to pursue a career in the fire service has decreased. The CCFD Cadet Program is designed to give opportunities to the young men and women who have grown up in the community and allow those young men and women to have a rewarding career serving the community that they grew up in. Cathedral City Fire Department will not be able to hire all cadets, but we will be able to build a pipeline to fill future openings as well as assist the fire service in getting qualified candidates, and most importantly give young adults in our community a rewarding career.
DISCUSSION:
A firefighter cadet program is designed to provide aspiring firefighters with the knowledge, skills, and hands-on experience needed to pursue a career in the fire service. Typically, these programs are structured to offer a blend of classroom instruction, physical training, and practical firefighting exercises. Here is a description of what a firefighter cadet program might entail:
Classroom Instruction: Cadets receive classroom instruction covering a wide range of topics relevant to firefighting, including fire behavior, hazardous materials awareness, emergency medical services, and fire prevention techniques. They also learn about departmental policies, procedures, and protocols.
Physical Fitness Training: Physical fitness is crucial for firefighter cadets, they will participate in regular physical training sessions to build strength, endurance, and agility.
These sessions may include cardiovascular exercises, strength training, and drills simulating firefighting tasks.
Practical Skills Training: Cadets engage in hands-on training exercises to develop essential firefighting skills. This includes learning how to operate firefighting equipment such as hoses, ladders, and breathing apparatus. They practice fire suppression techniques, search and rescue operations, and victim extrication scenarios.
Ride-Alongs and Observational Opportunities: Cadets may have the opportunity to participate in ride-alongs with experienced firefighters, accompanying them on emergency response calls to gain firsthand experience. They will also observe and assist with daily operations at fire stations, learning about fire apparatus maintenance, equipment checks, and station duties.
Mentorship and Guidance: Cadets are typically paired with experienced firefighters who serve as mentors, providing guidance, support, and feedback throughout the program.
Mentors help cadets navigate the challenges of training and offer valuable insights into the profession.
Certifications and Credentials: Upon successful completion of the cadet program, participants may earn certifications and credentials recognized in the firefighting industry.
These may include certifications in CPR, first aid, hazardous materials awareness, and firefighter training.
Graduation and Transition to Firefighter: After completing the cadet program, graduates may have the opportunity to apply for positions as entry-level firefighters within the department or pursue further training and education in fire science or emergency services.
Overall, firefighter cadet programs provide a structured pathway for individuals interested in pursuing a career in firefighting, offering training, practical experience, and mentorship to help cadets succeed in the challenging and rewarding field of firefighting.
FISCAL IMPACT:
First year estimates for this program will be $50,000 and will consist of uniforms, personal protective equipment, and overtime. Costs will be absorbed within the existing fire department budget.
FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal A - SERVE THE COMMUNITY WITH PRIDE AND DEDICATION
Objective: Through diversity, equity, and inclusion driven employee programs and experiences, Cathedral City is the employer of choice with a workforce that is engaged, motivated, and respected public stewards.
A-3 Consider a Fire Cadet program to introduce youth to the potential for careers in fire and emergency service.

Item No. 3.C
Meeting Date: April 24, 2024
From: John A. Corella, Director of Public Works and Engineering Title: Award Professional Services Agreement to Willdan Engineering for Construction Engineering Support Services on HSIP Cycle 9B: Varner Road Safety Improvements Project
RECOMMENDATION:
To award a professional services agreement to Willdan Engineering, in the amount of $104,014 for professional construction engineering support services for the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycle 9B Project: Varner Road Safety Improvements and approve a ten percent (10%) contingency in the amount of $10,401 for any unforeseeable construction costs, thereby, bringing the total construction engineering budget for this project to $114,415; and, authorize the City Manager to execute the required contract documents; and, authorize the City Engineer to request insurance policies and issue the notice to proceed.
BACKGROUND:
In December 2018, the City of Cathedral City (City) was awarded a $1,089,700 Highway Safety Improvements Program (HSIP) Cycle 9 grant to install safety improvements on Date Palm Drive and Varner Road. These improvements include the addition of pavement rumble strips along the centerline and edge-lines of the roadways, installation of guardrail on the outside of two roadway curves and replacement of existing standard and oversized stop signs at 3 all-way stop intersections with solar-powered flashing stop signs. In August 2019, a Caltrans Authorization/Agreement Summary (E-76) was approved for preliminary engineering funding and in September 2019, a federal project number was issued.
In January 2020, the city entered into an agreement for design professional services with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Kimley-Horn) to complete the preliminary design phase which included the required environmental studies and design. In June 2021, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to the agreement for additional technical studies and analyses required by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to evaluate the project’s impacts on cultural resources. In January 2023, the City Council approved Amendment No. 2 to increase the term of the agreement for an additional twelve months.
In January 2024, Caltrans and city staff held a meeting to discuss the dramatic construction 1 6
1 cost increases since the city submitted the original 2018 project estimates in the HSIP application. Caltrans recommended and approved the City’s scope change request to remove the installation of edge-line rumble strips on Varner Road and to remove the Date Palm Drive and the Mountain View Road segments from the Project.
In February 2024, Kimley-Horn completed the preliminary design phase of this project and provided the final plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) package to the city.
Additionally, city staff submitted a request for allocation (RFA) for construction funding to Caltrans which included the final PS&E package. At this time, city staff is waiting for Caltrans approval of the RFA to advertise the invitation to bid for the project.
DISCUSSION:
Request for Qualifications/Proposals (RFQ/P) Construction Engineering Support Services Within the original HSIP Cycle 9 grant funding application submittal, the city requested funding for the project’s construction engineering to ensure the project would comply with all federal requirements during construction. The construction engineering support services required for this project include construction management, labor compliance monitoring and enforcement, inspections, materials testing and all related documentation.
Staff prepared an RFQ/P for construction engineering support services for this HSIP Cycle 9B project. The RFQ/P was then advertised in the Desert Sun and the city’s website on March 3, 2024. City staff also circulated the RFQ/P to consultant companies that typically provide these services for similar projects. Consulting companies were given twenty-five (25) days until March 28, 2024, to submit proposals. Following Caltrans and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) proposal submittal and review requirements, the RFQ/P required the proponents to submit a cost proposal that includes the consultant hourly rates and/or unit costs for various services in a separate, sealed envelope.
Proposals for construction engineering support services for HSIP Cycle 9B were received from the following four (4) consultant companies:
RT Engineering & Associates, Inc. San Bernardino, CA
TKE Engineering, Inc. Palm Desert, CA
Willdan Engineering San Bernardino, CA
Z&K Consultants, Inc. Riverside, CA
The proposals were reviewed by a panel consisting of four members of the city’s Engineering staff. The panel cited that all the companies that provided proposals were responsive, qualified, and knowledgeable of the requirements for the various required tasks and all have an understanding of Cathedral City and its projects. The rating summary of the panel’s review is attached.
The scores from the reviews ranked Willdan Engineering (Willdan) with the highest ratings.
Willdan submitted a work proposal providing assurance that, if selected, the performance of construction engineering support tasks ordered by city staff would be completed in a timely manner.
Following the scoring of the companies, the Willdan’s cost proposal was opened and 1 6
1 reviewed per state guideline requirements for evaluating proposals. This cost proposal is consistent with current costs and in line with the city’s expectations for these types of services.
In summary, city staff is requesting that the City Council award a professional services agreement to Willdan Engineering, in the amount of $104,014 for professional construction engineering support services for the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycle 9B Project: Varner Road Safety Improvements and approve a ten percent (10%) contingency in the amount of $10,401 for any unforeseeable construction costs, thereby, bringing the total construction budget for this project to $114,415; and, authorize the City Manager to execute the required contract documents; and, authorize the City Engineer to request insurance policies and issue the notice to proceed.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total funding provided by the HISP Grant includes funds for preliminary engineering (PE), construction engineering (CE), and construction (CON), in the amount of $1,089,700.
The PE phase has been completed, leaving a remaining total of HSIP funds in the amount of $895,200 for CON and CE phases of the project as shown below:
Construction (CON) $778,500.00
Construction Engineering (CE) $116,700.00
HSIP Grant Funding Remaining $895,200.00
City staff are proposing to include a 10% contingency to Willdan’s cost proposal for CE for the total amount of $114,415, as shown below:
Willdan (Selected CE Consultant) $104,014.00
10% Contingency $ 10,401.00
Construction Engineering (CE) Total $114,415.00
The CE Phase of the project will be funded solely by the HSIP Grant and will not impact the General Fund.
FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal B: Community Investment
Objective: Cathedral City roads, gateways, public spaces, and other city infrastructure are well planned, designed, constructed, and maintained.
B-15: Develop a 5-Year pavement maintenance strategy and funding plan to achieve a citywide Pavement Quality Index that ranks in the Top 3 of Coachella Valley cities.

Item No. 3.D
Meeting Date: April 24, 2024
From: John A. Corella - Director of Public Works
Title: Approval of the Parks and Community Events Commission (PACE) support of the Free Movies for Kids at the Mary Pickford Theater 2024 RECOMMENDATION:
To approve $800 from the Parks and Recreation Commission's (PACE) FY 2022-2023 Small Events Budget to support the Mary Pickford Free Movies for Kids Event for the 2024 Summer Program.
BACKGROUND:
The Parks and Community Events Commission (PACE) has provided volunteer support for the Mary Pickford Free Movies for Kids Summer Event (Event) for the past six years. The initial years of the event were very popular and well attended. In 2022 though, there was a significant decline in the overall program’s attendance. The overall program for these free movie showings continuing was in question.
Whether the program’s lack of attendance was due to residual fallout as a result of the Covid -19 Pandemic the years prior, or just a lack of interest in the program was never specifically determined. Nonetheless, these attendance numbers motivated the PACE, the city’s Communications and Events Manager Ryan Hunt and the General Manager of the Mary Pickford Theater, Ted Hanes, to find solutions to turn the program around. Their successful group effort was evident by the significant increase of attendees at last year’s Event. This commitment to revitalize the program was very successful and the PACE's support of the 2024 Event is proposed to continue.
DISCUSSION:
The Mary Pickford Theater in downtown Cathedral City is again proposing to provide children and family members with an opportunity to see a free movie on each Friday of the summer from June 7, 2024, to July 26, 2024 (8-week period). As in the past years’ Events, PACE Commissioners will provide volunteer support in distributing movie passes, collection of the movie passes and assisting in ushering at the theater each Friday the Event is held.
To confirm the details of this year’s upcoming 2024 Event, PACE Commissioner Baciu met with Mr. Hanes of the Mary Pickford Theater. As a result of their discussion, it was proposed that offering free water and a small popcorn for the first 100 kids (an increase from 50 kids in 2023) at each Event during the 8-week period would step up PACE’s commitment and help make the 2024 Event even more inviting (successful) than last year. PACE Commissioner Baciu and Mr. Hanes both agreed that this participation would add the best value to the event.
The cost for this participation from PACE is $100 per Event, totaling $800 for the 8-week event. Also, please note the Communications and Events Division of the City has budgeted $1,500 from their FY 2022/2023 budget to cover the cost of the films.
At the April 2, 2024 PACE Meeting, PACE approved $800 from the FYs 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 PACE Small Events Budget to cover the cost of this participation. A copy of the PACE Staff Report is attached to this Staff Report.
The PACE is requesting that the City Council approve $800 from the Parks and Recreation Commission's (PACE) FY 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 Small Events Budget to support PACE’s participation in the Mary Pickford Free Movies for Kids Event for the 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The requested Event funding of $800 will be funded from the remaining $6,150 PACE Small Events budget of the FY 2023-2024 or the available $10,000 from the new FY 2024-2025 PACE small events budget, respectively (Parks and Recreation Professional and Technical Services budget item 100-500-510-511-8600-8601).
FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal F: Embracing, Inclusive City
Objective: Cathedral City is valued and respected as a community that welcomes and embraces diversity, has an abundance of high quality and affordable housing options, and vibrant businesses. Our neighborhoods are attractive and well-maintained and issues surrounding homelessness have been compassionately addressed with thoughtful, coordinated, and collaborative programs.
Action F-12: Continue to facilitate the attraction and promotion of community events which celebrate our diversity, builds a cohesive community, and supports local business.

RECOMMENDATION:
For the Parks and Community Events Commission (PACE) to approve $800 from the PACE FY 2023-2024 PACE Small Events Budget to support the Mary Pickford Free Movies for Kids Event for the 2024 Summer Program.
BACKGROUND:
In the past few years, the Parks and Community Events Commission (PACE) has provided volunteer support for the Mary Pickford Free Movies for Kids Summer Event (Event). Last year’s Event was very successful, and it is proposed that PACE support of the 2024 Event continue.
The Mary Pickford Theater in downtown Cathedral City is again proposing to provide children and family members with an opportunity to see a free movie on a designated day, each week from June (start date to be affirmed) to August (end date to be affirmed) over an 8 -week period . As in the past years’ Events, PACE Commissioners have provided volunteer support in distributing movie passes, collection of the movie passes and assisting in ushering at the theater each day the Event is held.
This year, PACE Commissioner Baciu met with Ted Hanes, General Manager of the Mary Pickford Theater, to confirm details regarding this year’s upcoming 2024 M ary Pickford Free Movies for Kids Summer Event. As a result of their discussion, it was proposed that offering free water and a small popcorn for the first 100 kids (an increase from 50 kids in 2023) at each event during the 8 -week period would step up PACE’s commitment and help make the 2024 Event even more inviting than last year. PACE Commissioner Baciu and Mr. Hanes both agreed that this participation would add the best value to the event.
The cost for this participation is proposed to be $800 from the FY 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 PACE Small Events Budget. The allocation from each FY will be determined.
In addition to PACE’s participation in the Event, note the Communications and Events Division of the City has also budgeted $1,500 from their FY 2023/2024 budget to cover the cost of the film itself.
Commissioner Baciu requests PACE approve the $800 from the FY 2023/2024 and/or FY 2024/2025 PACE Small Events Budget to cover the cost of the Event participation.
PACE is asked to review the proposal and provide a formal vote of support for the event from, both a volunteer participation support and monetary support, respectively. The financial support recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for final approval.
FUNDING SOURCE:
The requested Event funding of $500 will be funded from the remaining $6, 150 PACE Small Events budget of the FY 2023 -2024 or the $10,000 from the FY 2024 -2025 Parks and Recreation Professional and Technical Services budget item 100 -500-510-511- 8600-8601.
A motion was made by Chair Hyland and seconded by Commissioner Martinez to approve an expenditure of $800 from the PACE FY 2023-2024
June 7th - July 26 every Friday for eight weeks, no fees.

BACKGROUND:
Coachella Valley Bully Fest is scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 11, 2025, and is requesting use of the Cathedral City Community Amphitheater. The event would take place from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and is a returning event to Cathedral City after a successful 2024 event in the Community Amphitheater.

Competition trophies are awarded and everything is designed to offer guests a family-friendly experience. There is a strong focus on entertaining and appealing to families and there are no depictions of violence or adult themes included in the show. Event organizers plan to hire private security to roam among attendees and to check bags prior to entry at the gate.
Coachella Valley Bully Fest projects a strong local and regional audience and projects 1,500 attendees. This event has previously been held in the City of Coachella but event organizers were attracted to the City’s Community Amphitheater after attending multiple successful events hosted at the venue (Tejano Music Fest, Cathedral City Hot Air Balloon Festival, Taste of Jalisco, etc.). January 13, 2024, marked the first time the event was held in the Cathedral City Community Amphitheater. Food and alcohol will be served inside the amphitheater, which will require all necessary documentation to be secured and submitted prior to the event from ABC and Riverside County.
As a third-party event, the applicant must submit all necessary payments and documentation to the City prior to the event. This includes the $5,000 per day rental fee established for proposed for-profit events. With the event organizers responsible for cleanup and agreeing to hire private security, they expect the utilization of city staff to be limited beyond our Communications & Events staff.
Event organizers have experienced prior success when the event was held in the City of Coachella and experienced outstanding attendance in Cathedral City in 2024.
Communications & Events sees this as an opportunity to draw more foot traffic downtown and to capitalize on the increased applications for using the Community Amphitheater.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Special Use Permit fee of $510 and the Amphitheater for-profit rental fee of $5,000 will result in revenue to the city.
FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN:
Action F-6: Promote additional community events and celebrations.

Staff Report
City Council
Item No. 4.A
Meeting Date: April 24, 2024
From: Kevin Biersack, Financial Services Director
Title: City User and Regulatory Fees Update
RECOMMENDATION:
To adopt a resolution updating and establishing user and regulatory fees.
BACKGROUND:
This report presents the Schedule of User and Regulatory Fees intended for use in Fiscal Year 2024/25.
On September 8, 2021, the City Council adopted an updated Schedule of User and Regulatory Fees based on the results of a comprehensive cost of service study. During interim years (i.e., during years in between comprehensive studies), the City Council has authorized inflationary adjustments to fees. The update was implemented on December 1, 2021.
On August 23, 2023, the City Council adopted the first interim year update, with updates primarily intended to apply the authorized inflationary adjustments and to incorporate feedback received subsequent to adoption of the City’s current schedule of fees. The update was implemented on November 1, 2023.
This year represents the 2nd interim year update, with updates primarily intended to apply the authorized inflationary adjustments and to incorporate feedback received subsequent to adoption of the City’s current schedule of fees. Once approved by City Council, this update will be implemented on July 1, 2024.
User and regulatory fees are established by the City Council. The City’s fee schedule is a compilation of fees for City services provided to members of the public. The advantages of updating the City’s user and regulatory fees include assuring that fees are set based on current costs and approved cost recovery objectives while providing transparency in the fee structure for the City’s development-related and other municipal fees.
The fee schedule identifies fees for services and activities provided at the request of, or on behalf of, a single party as opposed to the public at large. Examples of user and regulatory fees collected by Cathedral City and municipalities throughout California include, but are not limited to:
•Planning Fees, such as entitlement review and review for compliance with the zoning code.
•Building Fees, such as permitting of new construction or modifications to existing structures.
•Engineering Fees, such as map review, encroachment permitting, and public improvement review.
•Fire Prevention Fees, such as fire sprinkler, fire alarm, and other permit review for compliance with Fire Code
•Police Fees, such as vehicle impound and false alarm response.
User and regulatory fees specifically excluded are:
•Taxes
•Assessments
•Franchise Fees
•Development Impact Fees
•Fines or Penalties
•Utility Rates and Services Charges
Industry best practice and California statute are in harmony: User and regulatory fees should be set according to the estimated reasonable cost of service and should bear a fair and reasonable relationship to the payer’s burdens on, or benefits received from the activities and/or services provided by the city. Recovering the costs of providing fee-related services directly influences the city’s goal of maintaining fiscal stability while continuing to provide quality essential services.
Additionally, ongoing review and adjustment of fees provides multiple benefits, including:
•Increasing the availability of General Fund revenues to be used for services and activities available to all residents and businesses, such as public safety services. •Keeping pace with general cost inflation.
•Avoiding fee spikes that are more likely to occur when municipalities leave fees unchanged for a multiyear period.
•Providing fee payers, city staff, and city policymakers with a pattern of consistency that provides information for forecasting and decision-making purposes. •Helps meet fee-payer service level expectations by collecting fees to fund the existing level of services provided.
•Encouraging generational equity among fee payers by avoiding long-term stagnation of fees followed by significant fee increases.
DISCUSSION:
In September of 2021, the Council adopted an updated Schedule of User and Regulatory Fees. Built into the schedule is a CPI increase annually based on the March CPI. The following updates are submitted for the Fee Schedule Update:
•The following fees were added or amended by Council during Fiscal Year 2023/2024 and have been included in the Fee Study Update:
oStreet Vendor Permit and Renewal Fee were reduced to $50.00 oAddition of an Abandoned Shopping Cart Impound Fee of $69.50 per cart oAddition of a Passthrough of Credit Card Transaction Fees of 2.75% oAddition of a Passthrough of E-Check Transaction Processing Fee of $1.95 per transaction
•Increase City User and Regulatory Fees 4.26% based on March CPI •Increase Engineering Fees 12.71% to align the fees from 92.5% to 100% of cost (Compounded by the 4.26% CPI)
This report includes three attachments:
•Resolution – this staff report provides the resolution. •Illustration of Current Fees and Proposed Fees – provides an illustration of current fees, and proposed fees.
•Fee Schedule Update - this document provides the proposed fee schedule updates for adoption.
FISCAL IMPACT:
With the 4.26% compounded CPI increase, City license, permit, fee, and service revenues could provide additional revenue up to $500,000 for fiscal year (FY) 2024/2025.
FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal C – Fiscal Stability and Sustainability
Objective - Cathedral City has economically prospered by facilitating the investment of private dollars in high quality development which benefits the community. We remain financially solvent by instituting prudent fiscal policies and transparent financial practices.

RESOLUTION NO. 2024-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CATHEDRAL CITY, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING A SCHEDULE OF USER
AND REGULATORY FEES FOR VARIOUS CITY SERVICES
WHEREAS, user and regulatory fees are established by the City Council; and
WHEREAS, the City completed a study in 2021 to identify the cost of providing various user and regulatory fee-related services; and
WHEREAS, the study examined fee-related services provided by the City, the costs reasonably borne by the City in providing those services, the beneficiaries of those services, and the revenues produced by those paying fees and charges for special services; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that providing these services is of special benefit to applicants both separate and apart from the general benefit to the public; and therefore, in the interests of fairness to the general public, the City desires to better recover the costs of providing these services from applicants who have sought or require the City's services by revising its schedule of fees; and
WHEREAS, the City Council hereby finds that the study provides adequate evidence to conclude that the revised fees do not exceed the cost to provide the services for which the fees are charged; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires that annually the City Manager may update the various fees based on the percentage change, for 12-months ending March of the current fiscal year, in the All Urban Consumers Price Index (CPI-U) for Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, to become effective July 1 of the subsequent fiscal year. If the CPI-U does not change or goes down in a given year, no change shall be made to the fee schedule that year; and
WHEREAS, in order to assist staff in implementing the requested annual adjustments, if any, Exhibit “A” includes a column identified as “CPI” that illustrates the recommended annual adjustment pattern for the fees set forth in Exhibit “A”; and
WHEREAS, in adopting this Resolution, the City Council is taking action only on those fees for the services, programs or products set forth in Exhibit “A” which have been modified from prior resolutions of the City Council. The remaining fees that have not been modified from prior resolutions shall remain in full force and effect.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CATHEDRAL CITY, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. INCORPORATION OF RECITALS
The City Council hereby finds the recitals set forth above are true and correct.

Determination of Valuation for Fee-Setting Purposes
● Project valuations shall be based on the total value of all construction work, including all finish work, roofing, electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, elevators, fire-extinguishing systems and any other permanent equipment. If, in the opinion of the Building Official, the valuation is underestimated on the application, the permit shall be denied, unless the applicant can show detailed estimates to meet the approval of the Building Official. Final building permit valuation shall be set by the Building Official. For determining project valuations for new construction, the Building Official may use data published by the International Code Council (ICC) (building valuation data table, typically updated in February and August of each year). The final building permit valuation shall be set at an amount that allows the City to recover its costs of applicant plan check, permit and inspection activities.
Note: For construction projects with permit fees calculated using Section B, C, D, or E, additional fees apply for permit issuance. Additional fees may apply for services provided by other City Departments (e.g. Planning Review), Technology Enhancement Fees, and Fees Collected on Behalf of Other Agencies (e.g. State of California). Additional fees apply for plan review, when applicable.

Activity Description
Overview of Fee Structure
Fees may be either fixed fees, deposits, or deposits with a minimum fee amount due. When a fee is deposit-based, the City will collect the initial depots and bill against that deposit. The minimum total amount charged for deposit-based fees shall be the amount shown in the minimum fee / initial deposit column.
Full Cost Deposits and Deposit Replenishment
Applicants for full cost (deposit-based) submittals shall pay for all City staff and contract service provider time and materials required to process the application. A full cost reimbursement agreement shall be included with the project application submittal package. Projects outside the scope of this fee schedule will be subject to a full cost reimbursement agreement to be approved by the City Manager and/or City Council. This reimbursement agreement will include the identification of a work program and will include cost estimates for both City staff time and consultant services based on a defined scope of work.

Determination of Valuation for Fee-Setting Purposes
● Project valuations shall be based on the total value of all construction work, including all finish work, roofing, electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, elevators, fire-extinguishing systems and any other permanent equipment. If, in the opinion of the Building Official, the valuation is underestimated on the application, the permit shall be denied, unless the applicant can show detailed estimates to meet the approval of the Building Official. Final building permit valuation shall be set by the Building Official. For determining project valuations for new construction, the Building Official may use data published by the International Code Council (ICC) (building valuation data table, typically updated in February and August of each year). The final building permit valuation shall be set at an amount that allows the City to recover its costs of applicant plan check, permit and inspection activities.
Note: For construction projects with permit fees calculated using Section B, C, D, or E, additional fees apply for permit issuance. Additional fees may apply for services provided by other City Departments (e.g. Planning Review), Technology Enhancement Fees, and Fees Collected on Behalf of Other Agencies (e.g. State of California). Additional fees apply for plan review, when applicable.

Title: Mi Chavela Fest City Sponsorship Request
RECOMMENDATION:
To approve the City sponsorship of $5,000 for Luchador Brewing’s Mi Chavela Fest in the Cathedral City Community Amphitheater on Saturday, Sept. 14, 2024.
BACKGROUND:
MiChavela Festival 2024, in partnership with Luchador Brewing Company, will feature food, fun, music and Micheladas. This event, scheduled for 4-11 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 14, 2024, will allow residents and visitors enjoy the michelada mix of local vendors and vendors from across the country. The event date corresponds to the weekend prior to Mexican Independence Day and the city has no other event marking the occasion.
Event organizers are requesting use of the Community Amphitheater for the fall event and a City sponsorship in the amount of $5,000 (Platinum Level) from the Communications & Events budget to cover the cost of the amphitheater rental costs. The May iteration of the event is utilizing the Festival Lawn Annex, so this would represent an increased footprint for MiChavela Fest. Beer for the drinks will be provided by Luchador Brewing Company.
DISCUSSION:
The MiChavela Festival 2024, in partnership with Luchador Brewing Company, brings food, fun, music, and drinks to Downtown Cathedral City on Saturday, Sept. 14, 2024 (Mexican Independence Day weekend). The event will feature Miche vendors, live music, a Lucha Libre match, food trucks, a beer garden with over 20 choices of beer, artisan vendors, lowrider classic car show and much more for the whole family to enjoy.
The event is proposed to take place in the Cathedral City Community Amphitheater and organizers are requesting use of that space. This will be a public (ticketed) event. Tickets will start at $12 for presale and $15 for the day of the event.
Event organizers will have guards conducting searches at the entrance of the event, patrolling the inside of the event, checking IDs of those who wish to purchase alcoholic beverages and placing a special wristband on them, while keeping close eyes on bar areas.
A total of 5 to 6 security personnel will be onsite for the event.
Burrtec has been contacted and has agreed to supply multiple trash bins and scattered trash boxes. Clean up staff will be onsite.
As Platinum Sponsor of MiChavela Fest, Cathedral City will build awareness and make a very lasting impression with an important community base. As a Platinum Sponsor the city will receive the following:
• Cathedral City residents to receive 25% off all tickets • Logo on the Website Sponsor Page
• Logo on 40K Promotional Flyers & 1K Posters
• Inclusion in Event Press Release
• Dedicated Press Announcement
• Dedicated Social Media Mention
• Dedicated E-Blast
• Thank You Mention in E-Blast
• On-Site Logo Placement
• Complimentary 2 Booths at Event – will be used by CCPD and HR for recruitment • Industry Exclusivity
• Prominent Placement of Ad on LED Wall
• Listed as Platinum Sponsor in All Materials
• Multiple co-ordinated and Customized Promotional Opportunities
FISCAL IMPACT:
Communications & Events sees this event as a great way to attract residents and visitors to the Downtown area and showcase the City’s Community Amphitheater. The last Mi Chavela Fest in 2023 attracted more than 1,500 attendees and had to turn people away due to the lack of space. Staff and the event organizers remain optimistic that the number of attendees could increase with a larger venue. These events also have a positive impact on our local businesses and restaurants. The SUP application fee is $510, and the organizers must submit all necessary documents 30 days prior to the event.

From: Anne V. Ambrose, Assistant City Manager
Title: Approve Public Arts Commission's Recommendation for a Call for Artists for the Ocotillo Bench Painting project and authorize $16,150 in Art in Public Places funds for the project.
RECOMMENDATION:
To approve the Public Arts Commission’s recommendation for a Call for Artists for the Ocotillo Bench Painting project and authorize $16,500 in Art in Public Places funds for the project.
BACKGROUND:
The Public Arts Commission has been working on a public art project proposal to have the twenty-three concrete benches at Ocotillo Park painted by artists. Ocotillo Park is a vibrant park, centrally located in the city that provides a range of recreational activities including ball fields, a basketball court, skateboard park, tennis court, tot lot, splash pad, and shade structures and barbecue stands to encourage group gatherings. The Commission desires to enhance the park by adding a new artistic element throughout the park facility. It also furthers a Commission goal of making art publicly accessible throughout the city, not only in the downtown area.
DISCUSSION:
At the last Commission meeting on April 9, 2024, the Commissioners voted to approve a call for artist process and a proposed budget for the project. Artists would be provided a $500 stipend for their original artwork. In discussions with Public Works, staff recommended that the city contract with a painter to prime all of the benches and seal all of the finished artwork with a graffiti-resistant topcoat. If approved by the City Council, the Commission will open up a call for artists through the end of May. Over the summer, the Commission as a whole will review all submittals and select the artists for the benches. The Commission will submit their recommendations to the City Council for final approval. The Public Arts Commission are also working with the Parks and Community Events Commission to hold an unveiling event for the community of the finished benches, tentatively on October 19. Plans and budget approval for any incidental expenditures will be brought forward separately.
During the Commission’s discussion, there was confusion whether there were twenty-three or twenty-four benches, so the Commission opted to budget stipends for twenty-four. In further review after the meeting, it was determined the number of benches to be painted is twenty-three. Staff recommends keeping the additional $500 in the approved budget for the project in the event there are any small expenses required to implement the project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total fiscal impact for this project is $16,150, which includes:
$11,500 for artist stipends (23@ $500 each)
$4,150 for priming and top-coat of benches
$500 for incidental expenditures related to the project.
The project will be funded by the Art in Public Places Fund.
FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal B – Community Investment
Objective: Cathedral City roads, gateways, public spaces and other infrastructure are well planned, designed, constructed and maintained.
B-6 Maximize the use of existing resources to include underutilized parks and the library to support goals with the budget we have.

Background
Cathedral City, located in Riverside County, California, boasts a diverse and vibrant population. According to the most recent data, the city is home to approximately 55,000 residents. The demographic makeup of Cathedral City is characterized by a mix of cultures and backgrounds, with a significant Hispanic or Latino population accounting for over 60% of the residents. The city also has a sizable White population, making up around 30% of the total population, along with smaller but notable African American and Asian communities.

Goal of the Project
When you visit this park, you will see how much the community embraces it, and enjoys it in all aspects, as there are a constant stream of visitors. Every part of the park is in constant use, and we would like to add an even more colorful and playful element, by painting the benches to enhance the community’s experience. Painting the benches, making them more unique, and colorful, will add to that sense of pride, and make it more fun.
The proposals should reflect the project objectives, including theme and context within the project site, and should be respectful of the greater context of the community.
Proposed artwork must be family -friendly and cannot depict sexual conduct or sexually explicit nudity nor advertise any activity illegal under the laws of California or the United States.

Selected artists will receive a stipend of $500. Artists must provide their own supplies (prep, paint, etc.). The city will clean and prime the benches and will seal the benches with an anti-graffiti top coat upon completion.

City Council
Item No. 5.D
Meeting Date: April 24, 2024
From: Ryan Hunt, Communications & Events Manager
Title: Special Use Permit (SUP) Procedure & Rental Costs Update RECOMMENDATION:
To adopt the new Special Use Permit (SUP) procedure and the new rental fees for Downtown venues that were previously free to rent for event organizers.
BACKGROUND:
Communications & Events brought this topic to Study Session in December 2023 seeking guidance from the City Council related to the Special Use Permit (SUP) process. As it stands currently, all events (no matter the scale or location) require City Council approval. Staff recommend that some of the smaller scale events or annual events we routinely approve of can be authorized administratively with a checklist approved by the City Council.
Staff are also recommending the City Council adopt new rental fees for venues currently free of charge to book for events. The City doesn’t want to be cost-prohibitive to applicants hosting events in Cathedral City, but we need to ensure the City recovers costs and better protect Cathedral City from liability.
DISCUSSION:
Currently, Communications & Events is finding it hard to process SUPs in a timely manner for event applicants due to every event requiring City Council approval. It can take weeks to find placement on a City Council agenda, which limits the event organizer’s ability to promote their event until they receive formal approval. Communications/Events staff is also concerned about losing opportunities to other venues and believes a more streamlined process would be helpful for both efficiency and necessary staff time currently utilized for developing staff reports for each event submitting an SUP.
With a checklist endorsed by the City Council, events like CCHS Homecoming Parade, one- day events like DAP Volunteer Appreciation and the Autism Acceptance Walk in our community amphitheater, are just a few examples of smaller scale events that could be approved administratively.
Communications & Events would also like to adopt rental costs for venues outside the Community Amphitheater. Right now, we don’t have any rental fees associated with Downtown venues like Town Square Park, the Festival Lawn, Avenida Lalo Guerrero, and other City venues. To protect the City from liability in the future, the City also needs to ensure proper cleaning fees are in place.
CLEAN-UP/DAMAGE DEPOSIT
Communications & Events believes this should be $600 across the board, no matter the scale of a particular event. This deposit would be returned to the event organizer/applicant if they successfully remove all trash and debris but would protect the City of Cathedral City if damages are sustained before, during or after the event.
AREA OF DOWNTOWN CATHEDRAL CITY RENTAL FEES
· Right now, there are no fees attached to renting the following venues, which are frequently requested:
• Civic Center Plaza (includes breezeway and steps in front of City Hall) • Town Square Park
• Avenida Lalo Guerrero
Communications & Events believes there should be rental fees associated with these venues to protect the City from liability and to better vet the users and event organizers utilizing our facilities. The recommended fees are as follows:
• Civic Center Plaza (includes paseo and steps in front of City Hall) – $300 for-profit, $225 nonprofit (rate is for every 2 hours)
• Town Square Park – $500 for-profit, $375 nonprofit (rate is for every 4 hours) • Avenida Lalo Guerrero – $2,500 for-profit, $1500 nonprofit (day rate) • Festival Lawn – $1,000 for-profit, $750 nonprofit (rate is for every 4 hours) • Festival Lawn Annex – $300 for-profit, $225 nonprofit (rate is for every 4 hours) FISCAL IMPACT:
Depending on usage the fees will generate revenue to the city to offset the costs incurred during the rental.
FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN:
Action F-6: Promote additional community events and celebrations.

Item No. 5.E
Meeting Date: April 24, 2024
From: Stone James, DPPD, Economic Development Director
Title: Declaration of Surplus Land
RECOMMENDATION:
To adopt Resolution No.____ declaring that certain 1.8-acre vacant land parcel located at 68-600 thru 68-618 East Palm Canyon also identified by Assessor’s Parcel Number 687- 475-006 as surplus land and direct the City Manager's office to follow the procedures set forth in the Surplus Land Act, California Government Code Section 54220 et seq., as amended on January 1, 2020, for the sale of surplus land.
BACKGROUND:
The former Redevelopment Agency (RDA) of the City of Cathedral City (City) was created in November 1981 and adopted its first redevelopment plan in 1982. During that time, the former RDA used tax increment financing to provide infrastructure improvements, finance public projects and support private investment. Furthermore, the former RDA made great efforts to acquire and clear a number of parcels within the downtown. One of the parcels acquired and cleared was the 1.8 acres located at 68-600 thru 68-618 East Palm Canyon Drive (APN 687-475-006) (Asset).
Pursuant to the dissolution of redevelopment agencies per Assembly Bill (“AB”) ABX1 26 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2011) and ABX1 27 (Chapter 6, Statutes of 2011), and subsequent legislation, AB 1484 (Chapter 26, Statutes of 2012) (altogether, “Dissolution Act”), City adopted Resolution No. 2012-153 on January 11, 2011, electing to serve as Successor Agency to the RDA (hereafter the “Successor Agency”).
In accordance with the Dissolution Act, the Successor Agency prepared a Long-Range Property Management Plan (the “LRPMP”) to identify all the assets held by the Successor Agency and their disposition in accordance with the Dissolution Act.
The Property was identified as “Asset 19 – 68-600 thru 68-618 East Palm Canyon Drive” in the LRPMP and was designated as a property to be liquated by the City pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 34191.5(c)(2)(A).
On April 10, 2013, the Successor Agency received a finding of completion for the LRPMP from the California Department of Finance.
DISCUSSION:
Enacted in 1968 and amended in 2020, the Surplus Land Act requires all local agencies to prioritize affordable housing, as well as parks and open space, when disposing of surplus land (“Surplus Land Act” or “SLA”). Before local agencies may dispose of surplus land, they are required to give notice to local public entities and organizations involved in affordable housing development. If a preferred entity expresses interest during the required sixty (60) day notice period, the parties must enter into good faith negotiations for a period of not less than ninety (90) days to determine a sales price or lease terms. In the event no affordable housing entity expresses interest, or if an interested entity and the City are unable to agree on price and terms, the City may then proceed to sell or retain the property.
Standard noticing provisions of the Surplus Land Act require a 60 days’ written notice of availability (NOA) of the availability of the Property. The NOA must be provided to the following entities:
· Any local public entity, as defined in Section 50079 of the Health and Safety Code, within whose jurisdiction the surplus land is located.
· Housing sponsors, as defined by Section 50074 of the Health and Safety Code, that have notified the Department of Housing and Community Development of their interest in surplus land shall be sent a notice of availability of surplus land for the purpose of developing low- and moderate-income housing.
A valid NOA requires the City Council hearing and voting to approve the declaration of the Property as surplus land prior to issuing the NOA.
The City is also required to notify the following entities:
· To any park or recreation department of the county within which the land is situated. · To any regional park authority having jurisdiction within the area in which the land is situated.
· To the State Resources Agency or any agency that may succeed to its powers. · A written notice of availability of land suitable for school facilities construction or use by a school district for open-space purposes shall be sent to any school district in whose jurisdiction the land is located.
To comply with the LRPMP and California Government Code section 54220, the City is seeking to declare the Property as surplus land. The City Manager’s Office will initiate the process by obtaining two appraisals of the property concurrent with the issuing the NOA. If no interest notices are received during the 60-day period, the City Manager’s Office may elect to prepare a RFQ followed by an RFP to ensure the highest and best use of the site is achieved.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact associated with a declaration of surplus land.
FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal C: Fiscal Stability and Sustainability
Action-15 Develop (and implement) an economic development strategic plan. This action is consistent with the economic development strategic plan’s focus to increase the development intensity of Downtown.
