Staff Report
City Council
Item No. 5.B
Meeting Date: May 27, 2026
From: John A. Corella, Director of Public Works
Title: Award Construction Contract and Construction Engineering Support Services Agreement for the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycle 11A, 18 Unsignalized Intersection Upgrades Project (C08754)
RECOMMENDATION:

To:
Award a construction contract to LC Paving & Sealing, Inc., in the amount of $1,470,710.25 for the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycle 11A, 18 Unsignalized Intersection Upgrades Project (C08754); and, Award a professional services agreement to NV5, Inc. in the amount of $84,923.22 for professional construction engineering support services for this project; and, Approve a total construction budget in the amount of $1,716,196.82, which includes a 10% contingency and on-call administrative support services for state-funded project requirements; and,
Authorize the City Manager to execute both contract documents; and, Authorize the City Engineer to request bonds and insurance for the project and issue the Notice to Proceed.

BACKGROUND:

The HSIP is a core federal-aid program intended to achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads, including non-state-owned public roads and roads located on tribal land. The HSIP was established under the Federal Surface Transportation Act in August 2005.

The California local HSIP program provides funding for local highway safety improvement projects through a biennial call-for-projects cycle. The timing and size of each funding cycle are determined based on available program apportionments, Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) capacity, and delivery of existing HSIP Projects.

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), Division of Local Assistance (DLA) administers California’s local agency share of HSIP funds. California’s Local HSIP prioritizes 1 infrastructure projects with nationally recognized crash reduction factors (CRF). Projects are ranked based on crash severity, crash potential, crash rate, or other data-supported evaluation methods.

On June 25, 2021, the city completed the Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) which provides a framework for identifying, analyzing, and prioritizing roadway safety improvements on local roads. Adoption of an LRSP or equivalent safety plan is required for local agencies applying for HSIP funding.

In August 2022, the City Council approved a task order with the city’s on-call traffic engineering consultant, STC Traffic Inc., to prepare four (4) grant applications for the HSIP Cycle 11 Call-for-Projects. In September 2022, the applications were completed and submitted to Caltrans.

The HSIP Cycle 11 grant follows a 90/10 reimbursement structure, whereby ninety percent (90%) of eligible project costs are funded by the HSIP, and the remaining ten percent (10%) is required as a local match. For the 18 Unsignalized Intersection Upgrades Project (HSIP Cycle 11A), the total estimated project cost was $1,452,100.00. Of this amount, the city was originally awarded $1,306,890.00 (90%) in HSIP funding, with the remaining $145,210.00 (10%) to be provided as the city’s required local match. The grant includes funding for both the preliminary engineering (PE) and construction (CON) phases of the project.

The proposed improvements under the HSIP Cycle 11A project include the installation of ADA compliant ramps and pedestrian crossings, LED safety lighting, LED flashing stop signs, high visibility crosswalk striping, rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs), conventional flashing beacons, and advanced warning pavement markings and signs.

The 18 intersections were identified based on the safety strategies and countermeasures included in the city’s LRSP. The intersections were categorized under the following countermeasures: NS01 – Add Intersection Lighting; NS20PB – Install Pedestrian Crossings at Uncontrolled Locations; and NS21PB – Install/Upgrade Pedestrian Crossings with Enhanced Safety Features. A vicinity map of the proposed intersections is included as Attachment 1.

In February 2024, Caltrans authorized funding for the preliminary engineering (PE) phase of the project. In October 2024, the City Council awarded a professional services agreement to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., to prepare the plans, specifications, estimates (PS&E), right-of-way, and environmental documents required for the project. The PE phase was completed in August 2025, and Caltrans subsequently authorized the construction funding in November 2025, allowing the city to proceed with construction bidding.

Engineering staff advertised an invitation to bid in December 2025 and opened four (4) bid proposals in January 2026. After review of the bids received, staff determined the two (2) lowest bids were non-responsive and the remaining bid amounts exceeded the approved HSIP funding allocation. As a result, staff recommended rejection of all bids at the January 28, 2026, City Council meeting.

Engineering staff re-advertised the project in February 2026 and opened two (2) bid proposals later that month. The second bid opening resulted in construction costs significantly exceeding both the engineers’ estimate prepared during the PS&E phase and the construction funding amount allocated by Caltrans. In response to the increased 2 construction costs, engineering staff submitted a cost change request to Caltrans for additional construction funding. Caltrans approved an additional $300,000.00 in construction funding in April 2026, and the allocation request for the additional funds was subsequently approved on May 6, 2026.

DISCUSSION:

Request for Qualifications/Proposals for Construction Engineering Support Services The HSIP Cycle 11 grant application included funds for Construction Engineering (CE) support services to ensure the project complies with all applicable state-funded requirements during construction. The CE support services tasks include construction management, labor compliance monitoring and enforcement, inspection, and material testing.

Engineering staff solicited a Request for Qualifications/ Proposals (RFQ/P) for CE support services for the HSIP 11A Project. The RFQ/P was advertised in the Desert Sun on September 4, 2025, and posted on the city’s website from September 4, 2025, to September 25, 2025. The RFQ/P was made available to consultants for twenty-one (21) calendar days.

Proposals for CE support services were received from the following four (4) consultant companies:

Fountainhead Consulting Corporation Fontana, CA
NV5, Inc. Palm Desert, CA
RT Engineering & Associates, Inc. San Bernardino, CA
Z&K Consultants, Inc. Riverside, CA
Proposals were evaluated following the selection process required for federally and state funded projects.

The proposals were reviewed by a panel consisting of three (3) staff members from the Public Works Department, and one (1) staff member from the Planning Department. The panel determined that all consultant companies submitted responsive proposals and demonstrated the qualifications and experience necessary to perform the required services for the project.

The rating summary of the panel’s review is attached to this report.

Based on the evaluation results, the proposal submitted by NV5, Inc. (NV5) received the highest overall rating from the evaluation panel. NV5 demonstrated a clear understanding of the project requirements and provided assurance that the CE support services would be completed efficiently and in compliance with applicable state and federal requirements.

Following completion of the qualifications-based evaluation process, the sealed cost proposal submitted by NV5 was opened and reviewed in accordance with state and federal procurement requirements. Engineering staff determined that NV5’s cost proposal is within the funding allocated through the HSIP grant for CE support services.

Construction Bid Process
On February 1, 2026, the city advertised an invitation to bid, requesting qualified contractors to construct the improvements identified in Bid No. B25-105E. The bid package included the approved plans, specifications, and contract documents for the project. The solicitation 3 period remained open for sixteen (16) calendar days and advertised through the following outlets:
Desert Sun - Published on February 1, 2026
PlanIt Print Works – From January 30, 2026, until February 17, 2026 City’s Website - From January 30, 2026, until February 17, 2026 On February 17, 2026, the city received two (2) bid proposals for this project. The following table ranks each qualified bidder by the total base bid amount.

City Council
Item No. 5.C
Meeting Date: May 27, 2026
From: John A. Corella, Director of Public Works
Title: Installation of Sign Topper Honoring Former City Councilmember Sarah DiGrandi
RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the installation of one (1) sign topper honoring former City Councilmember Sarah DiGrandi at the intersection of Buddy Rogers Avenue and Pickfair Street, at a total cost of $758.00. The request is being submitted by Cathedral City business owner Richard Altman and former Cathedral City Councilmember Shelley Kaplan. Mr. Altman has agreed to cover the full cost associated with production and installation of the sign topper.

BACKGROUND:

On March 11, 2020, the City Council approved the Street Neighborhood and/or District Identification Street Sign Blade “Topper” Policy (Policy). The Policy establishes procedures for the installation of street sign blade toppers, which are additional sign panels mounted above existing street name signs to provide supplemental information. Toppers may designate a special place, street, neighborhood, district, subdivision, or commemorate a person or achievement of significance to the community.

Street sign toppers serve to build community identity and pride, promote awareness of designated areas, and recognize individuals whose contributions have meaningfully enhanced the city.

The city has previously approved toppers recognizing significant individuals and areas, including:

Sign Topper Name Location
Candy Cane Lane Minerva Street between Tachevah Dr and Avenida La Vista Agnes Pelton Way F Street near Chuparosa Lane
Val Samuelson Way Grandview Avenue at Dorn and Vista
Ocotillo Square Area bounded by Cathedral Canyon Drive, Date Palm Drive, Ramon Road, and Dinah Shore Drive
Bill Anson Way San Jacinto Road and Van Fleet Avenue
1 Tim Townsley Way San Jacinto Road at Cathedral Canyon Drive and Glenn Avenue
Joe Novak Way Grandview Avenue at Bel Air Drive and Vista Drive Diane Gill & Jane Rasco
Way
Channel Drive at Valley Vista Drive and Carroll Drive
DISCUSSION:

An application submitted by Darla DiGrandi, in coordination with Cathedral City business owner Richard Altman and former City Councilmember Shelley Kaplan, requests installation of a sign topper honoring former City Councilmember Sarah DiGrandi at the intersection of Buddy Rogers Avenue and Pickfair Street.

Ms. DiGrandi is one of Cathedral City’s foundational civic leaders. After relocating to Cathedral City in 1957, she became deeply involved in the community and was elected to the City Council in 1986, just five years after incorporation. She served four terms from 1986 to 1998, including service as Mayor Pro Tem, totaling sixteen (16) years of public service.

During her tenure, Ms. DiGrandi played an integral role in advancing key civic institutions, including establishment of the Cathedral City Senior Center, opening of the Cathedral City Library, development of the Cathedral City Boys and Girls Club, and strengthening of local police and fire services. Beyond elected office, she served in leadership roles with numerous community organizations, including Rotary International, Soroptimist, House of Hope, the Cathedral City Chamber of Commerce, the Coachella Valley Association of Governments, and United Way.

Her decades of leadership and civic engagement significantly shaped Cathedral City during its formative years and contributed to the development of institutions that continue to serve residents today.

Consistent with the Street Neighborhood and/or District Identification Street Sign Blade “Topper” Policy, the proposed location at Buddy Rogers Avenue and Pickfair Street was evaluated for surrounding property impacts. This intersection is located within the City’s Townsquare area and is surrounded by civic and commercial uses, including City Hall, the Mary Pickford Theatre, and the adjacent commercial complex. Ms. DiGrandi was instrumental in the development of Cathedral City’s downtown core, and the proposed location is symbolically appropriate given her leadership role in advancing this civic center.

Because the location is situated within the City’s Townsquare and adjacent to City facilities, it is appropriate for the City Council to determine whether this placement best reflects the intent of the Policy and the significance of Ms. DiGrandi’s contributions.

Staff has reviewed the application and determined it is consistent with the procedural requirements of the adopted Policy.

Production of Sign Toppers
The total cost to manufacture and install the sign topper is $758.00. Cathedral City business owner Richard Altman has confirmed that he will personally cover the full cost associated with production and installation of the sign topper. The request is being supported in coordination with former City Councilmember Shelley Kaplan and Darla DiGrandi. 2 Approval of this item would formally recognize the long-standing civic contributions of former City Councilmember Sarah DiGrandi.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Although the work will be processed through the city's standard sign production procedures, all costs associated with the sign topper will be funded through a private contribution.

FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item supports community identity, civic pride, historic recognition, and acknowledgement of individuals who have contributed to Cathedral City's development.

SARAH DIGRANDI STREET SIGN DEDICATION

Today we are here to honor a true legend of Cathedral City, Ms. Sarah DiGrandi. Someone who helped form the first visions of our great City. First, some historical facts - Cathedral City was incorporated in 1981, but developers built its first modern subdivision here and named it Cathedral City in 1925. This past August, Cathedral City celebrated its 100th birthday. Also, this past August, Sarah DiGrandi celebrated her 90th birthday.

Who would have known this great individual, born in the southern hills of Tennessee in 1935 would come here to our sprawling empty desert and have such a magnificent impression on our community.

Sarah moved to Cathedral City in 1957 to what was thought of back then as ‘moving out to the country’ for a simpler life. After establishing her household in the Palm Springs Vista Homeowner Association, now known as the Outpost neighborhood, getting married and having her three children, Debbie, Ron and Darla, she pursued her career in banking, reaching the senior position of Vice President, where she retired at after a successful 32- year career.

After moving here in 1957 and establishing her foundation, Sarah felt the love and compassion for her community, wanting to take a leadership role. She decided to run for City Council in 1986, just 5 years after Cathedral City was incorporated.

Having a positive reputation for helping local businesses get established through her banking contacts and support, Sarah easily won her first political election, in fact was a top vote getter. She would go on to win a total of four elections from 1986 to 1998 and serve one of her terms as Mayor pro tem before retiring from political oƯice. Sarah served a total of 16 years on the Cathedral City City Council.

Included in Sarah’s many accomplishments other than helping to establish many local businesses that helped shape the heart and soul of Cathedral City, she was integral in establishing the Cathedral City Senior Center on Buddy Rogers Avenue; opening the Cathedral City Library on Date Palm and launching the Cathedral City Boys and Girls Club on Whispering Palms, in addition to help establish our local Police and Fire Departments.

Sarah also played active rolls for many years by serving as either President, active board member, or key volunteer with the following organizations: Cathedral City Senior Center; Cathedral City Rotary International; Cathedral City Soroptimist; House of Hope; Cathedral City Chamber of Commerce; Read to the Children Foundation; Coachella Valley Association of Governments; and the local United Way. She also served with several other organizations outside of the Cathedral City region, where she was able to direct their activities to our area, which benefited our local economy. We would still be here another half hour if I had to read her full list of accomplishments in her political and private sectors.

I think it’s fair to say that Sarah had an influence on the City of Cathedral City that far exceeded her reputation, and which no one can fully calculate her dynamic impact. 9 Staff Report

Approve the installation of one (1) sign topper honoring Richard Altman at the intersection of Gay Resort Drive and Melrose Drive, at a total cost of $758.00. The application was submitted by former Cathedral City Councilmember Shelley Kaplan, who has agreed to cover the full cost of the sign topper.

BACKGROUND:

On March 11, 2020, the City Council approved the Street Neighborhood and/or District Identification Street Sign Blade “Topper” Policy (Policy). The Policy establishes procedures for the installation of street sign blade toppers, which are additional sign panels mounted above existing street name signs to provide supplemental information. Toppers may designate a special place, street, neighborhood, district, subdivision, or commemorate a person or achievement of significance to the community.

Street sign toppers serve to build community identity and pride, promote awareness of designated areas, and recognize individuals whose contributions have meaningfully enhanced the city.

The city has previously approved toppers recognizing significant individuals and areas, including:

Sign Topper Name Location
Candy Cane Lane Minerva Street between Tachevah Dr and Avenida La Vista
Agnes Pelton Way F Street near Chuparosa Lane
Val Samuelson Way Grandview Avenue at Dorn and Vista
Ocotillo Square Area bounded by Cathedral Canyon Drive, Date Palm Drive, Ramon Road, and Dinah Shore Drive
Bill Anson Way San Jacinto Road and Van Fleet Avenue
Tim Townsley Way San Jacinto Road at Cathedral Canyon Drive and Glenn 1 Avenue
Joe Novak Way Grandview Avenue at Bel Air Drive and Vista Drive Diane Gill & Jane Rasco
Way
Channel Drive at Valley Vista Drive and Carroll Drive
DISCUSSION:

An application submitted by former Cathedral City Councilmember Shelley Kaplan requests installation of a sign topper honoring Richard Altman at the intersection of Gay Resort Drive and Melrose Drive.

Mr. Altman has been a prominent business leader and civic advocate in Cathedral City for many years. As proprietor of the CCBC Resort, he helped establish Cathedral City as a recognized destination within the LGBTQ+ community, contributing significantly to tourism, economic development, and the City’s reputation as an inclusive community.

Mr. Altman was instrumental in the development and continued success of Cathedral City’s annual Pride event, which celebrates diversity while generating substantial economic activity. He previously served as President of the Cathedral City Boys and Girls Club Board, where he led meaningful facility improvements and organizational growth. In recognition of his philanthropy, the Cathedral City Senior Center named the “Richard G. and Anne K.

Altman Craft Corner” in his honor. He has also received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Cathedral City Chamber of Commerce.

Letters of support have been submitted from community leaders and residents citing his longstanding contributions, generosity, and leadership. The proposed topper location on Gay Resort Drive is symbolically appropriate given Mr. Altman’s significant role in advancing Cathedral City’s inclusive identity.

Consistent with the Street Neighborhood and/or District Identification Street Sign Blade “Topper” Policy, efforts were made to ensure compliance with neighborhood notification and support requirements. The existing street sign to which the topper would be affixed is located on CCBC Resort property, and no other residential or business addresses are located on Gay Resort Drive. As such, the application satisfies the Policy’s intent regarding adjacent property owner awareness and support.

Staff has reviewed the application and determined it meets the requirements of the adopted Policy.

Production of Sign Toppers
The total cost to manufacture and install the sign topper is $758.00. Shelley Kaplan has confirmed that he will personally cover the full cost associated with this sign topper on behalf of Richard Altman.

Approval of this item would formally recognize the lasting civic, traffic, and community contributions of Richard Altman.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Although the work will be processed through the city standard sign production procedures, 2 all costs associated with the signed topper will be funded through a private contribution.

FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item supports community identity, civic pride, inclusivity, and recognition of individuals who have contributed to Cathedral City's development.

Dear Deanna.

I write in support of a sign topper for Richard Altman. This one will set precedence, as the others in the Cove have honored deceased residents, and Richard is alive and well. I believe that his significant contributions will set a high bar for others who may be proposed.

Richard has made important contributions to our community through business innovation, philanthropy, and advocacy. As the proprietor of the Cathedral City Boys Club (CCBC) he has made the resort hotel a major destination for the LGBTQ community, and a few years ago, built a restaurant on the grounds, which is open to the public. Richard was instrumental in establishing Cathedral City’s annual Pride event that celebrates diversity and inclusion and boosts tourism and the economy.

Richard is the past President of the Boys and Girls Club Board, during which time he made substantial enhancements to the facility. The Cathedral City Senior Center named a room ‘Richard G. and Anne K. Altman Craft Corner’ due to his generous gift. He received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Chamber of Commerce, among many other honors.

Richard Altman is widely respected for his visionary leadership, philanthropy, and eƯorts to foster an inclusive and thriving Cathedral City.

I have known Richard for 15 years, and although others will write more detailed descriptions about what he has done for the City, I need to say that he is truly a gentleman.

He is here to listen, give advice, and help as needed.

Selecting Richard as the first living recipient of a sign topper on Gay Resort Way is a tribute to how the City cares and honors its involved residents, whether financially or as active participants. Through Richard’s presence, he has created a lasting positive change; a legacy to be proud of.

Thank you for your consideration,

Sue Townsley

Item No. 5.E
Meeting Date: May 27, 2026
From: Michael Contreras, Fire Chief
Title: Purchase of Seven (7) ZOLL X Series Advanced Monitor/Defibrillators for the Fire Department.

RECOMMENDATION:

To authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute all required documents for the purchase of seven (7) ZOLL X Series Advanced Monitor/Defibrillators and associated accessories.

BACKGROUND:

Cathedral City Fire & EMS currently operates seven (7) ZOLL X Series Monitor/Defibrillators that are more than nine (9) years old. These devices serve as the primary cardiac monitoring and defibrillation tools used by frontline EMS personnel on every medical call, and their reliability is mission-critical to patient survival outcomes. Industry standards and multiple third-party medical equipment life expectancy references, including the Biomedical Engineering Advisory Group (BEAG) Guidance Paper on Life Span of Biomedical Devices and the U.S. Army Technical Bulletin TB MED 7 (Maintenance Expenditure Limits for Medical Material), recognize Defibrillator/Monitors as having a typical life expectancy of seven to eight (7-8) years. Most EMS agencies budget for monitor replacement on a five-to-seven-year cycle due to the demanding operational environment in which these devices are used, including extreme heat, dust, moisture, and continuous or prolonged power-on periods that accelerate wear on internal electronic components. While ZOLL continues to support all purchased equipment, the age of the current devices presents increasing risk of circuit board failure and other component degradation that cannot always be anticipated through routine annual maintenance. The Fire Department has determined proactive replacement of these monitors is prudent to maintain uninterrupted, high-quality pre-hospital care for the residents of Cathedral City.

DISCUSSION:

Cathedral City Fire & EMS is recommending the purchase of seven (7) ZOLL X Series Advanced Monitor/Defibrillators to replace the current aging ZOLL X Series fleet. The 1 recommended units include a comprehensive suite of monitoring and defibrillation capabilities along with a five-year on-site Worry-Free Service Plan and a five-year CaseReview Premium Subscription for post-incident QA/QI analysis.

The ZOLL X Series Advanced represents a significant clinical upgrade over the current X Series devices. Key advancements include:
Real BVM Help™ – Provides real-time ventilation feedback on both volume and rate for intubated and non-intubated patients using the AccuVent cable. Clinical studies indicate that up to 90% of ventilations delivered in the field are incorrect in rate, volume, or both, directly and negatively affecting patient outcomes. This technology, exclusive to ZOLL, addresses this critical gap.
TBI Dashboard™ – A traumatic brain injury management tool that consolidates the four key vital signs for TBI survival into a single focused display, enabling medics to optimize care for trauma patients, who represent the bulk of EMS call volume. Pediatric CPR Feedback – ZOLL is the only manufacturer offering real-time CPR depth and rate feedback for pediatric patients. Studies show that 92% of compressions on a child in the field are too shallow, and this technology directly addresses that deficiency.
Remote View Streaming – Enables live patient data to be streamed to hospital physicians or medical direction during transport, supporting telehealth capabilities and improving pre-hospital to hospital coordination.
Improved Modem and 12-Lead Transmission – Enhanced cellular modem with improved 12-lead ECG transmission and seamless interface with ImageTrend ePCR. AutoPulse® Integration – The X Series Advanced is the only monitor that coordinates with the AutoPulse automated CPR devices already owned by the Department, enabling a single end-of-call data upload that provides comprehensive QA data on both manual and automated CPR performance.

The Boys and Girls Club of Cathedral City aims to expand pathways for artistic expression for Club kids with photography and editing classes. Club kids will build their skills through structured photography activities designed to inspire creativity and collaboration. The end goal of this concept would be a mobile photography exhibit to showcase student talents at local businesses and events.

The Mobile Photography Lab is a hands-on photography and digital storytelling program for the BGCCC Leaders in Training members. The program will equip teens with iPads, digital cameras, and photo editing software to explore photography as a tool for creativity, leadership, and community connection. Participants will take part in guided community photo walks, learning how to document people, places, and stories that reflect the spirit of Cathedral City. The program will culminate in a public exhibition showcasing the students' work and celebrating their artistic growth and community voice.

We have other funding sources to cover artist fees and data storage subscriptions.

Since 1980, the Boys & Girls Club of Cathedral City (BGCCC) has served as a trusted and vital community resource for youth ages 6–18 from the City of Cathedral City and surrounding area. For more than four decades, the Club has been committed to its mission:“To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.”
Over the past 45 years, BGCCC has evolved to meet the changing needs of children and families—offering safe, inclusive, and enriching environments that foster academic achievement, emotional well-being, and leadership development. Today, the Club serves more than 650 members annually and reaches an additional 1,850 youth through community outreach.

July 2026 - Purchase equipment & software, book local photography professionals for class instruction
August - November 2026 - classes and activities
December 2026 - Unveiling of student photography at the BGCCC Extravaganza annual fundraising gala
January - April 2026 - Continued classes and activities, mobile exhibit at events and businesses in Cathedral City.

The Mobile Photography Lab is designed to provide Leaders in Training members with meaningful access to visual arts, technology, and self-expression. Through a combination of classroom instruction, field-based learning, and project-based exploration, youth will develop technical photography skills while building confidence, observation, and storytelling abilities.

Participants will learn the fundamentals of photography, including composition, lighting, framing, perspective, and ethical storytelling. Using iPads and digital cameras, students will capture images during organized community walks that encourage them to see Cathedral City through a creative lens. They will then use editing software to enhance and curate their images, gaining experience in digital media tools commonly used in creative industries.

Beyond photography skills, the program promotes youth leadership by encouraging participants to reflect on their surroundings, identify community strengths, and share their perspectives with the public. The final exhibition will provide a platform for young people to present their work to families, residents, and community partners, fostering pride, accomplishment, and connection.

Should expenses exceed our anticipated budget, we are actively seeking additional funding sources via grant applications. Any excess funds secured through regional, state, or national sources would be used to enhance the program with additional equipment, software, and instructors.

We are committed to ensuring that this program is fully funded and sustained for the future.

Yes, we plan on continuing this program for years to come. BGCCC is preparing to support this program with diverse funding sources from available grant opportunities regionally and nationally. The funds from this grant would help purchase equipment that will be used for this program for years to come. This includes grant applications, individual & corporate giving, community events, and fundraisers. BGCCC has successfully operated for over 45 years, maintaining and expanding critical services through careful financial planning, strong community ties, and a clear commitment to our youth. With continued support, we are confident in our ability to sustain and grow this program well into the future. 23 8.

Established in July, 2019, the women's chorus weathered the shutdown of the pandemic, moving rehearsals to Zoom, so members could continue to rehearse and learn music. Providing community concerts, working with local high school students, including them in concert performances, and singing for public and private events, Coachella Acappella's membership has grown, along with its reputation for providing outstanding non-accompanied four-part harmony singing. For example, they performed multiple nights at The Living Desert during December, performing Christmas and Hanukkah music, as hired entertainment. On April 15, they performed at The Cascade Lounge in the Palm Springs Agua Caliente Casino, with a packed house. The ensemble will perform a selection of songs from this concert, along with the high school students, on April 29 at the Rancho Mirage Library and Observatory. One of the benefits for women interested in singing with Coachella Acappella, as well as for the high school students who participate, is that a member does not need to read music to sing with the ensemble. Practice tapes are provided for each part, allowing singers without an ability to read music to join. Often, vocal ensembles require music reading and sight singing to participate.

Thus, Coachella Acappella and AcaChella allow women and girls who love to sing an opportunity to participate. More information about the organization is found at http://www.coachellaacappella.org. A short video can be viewed here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MkgUWh7mos
The organization has an annual budget of less than $25,000.

4. Timeline: (Provide a timeline outlining key project milestones and activities from conception to completion.)
August 2026: purchase music for concert, finalize date for concert and retain concert venue, establish rehearsal times for Cathedral City high school students September 2026: begin rehearsing music for spring concert (2027); recruit CCHS students, begin rehearsing music and voice technique with students
September 2026 - October 2026: identify interested senior facilities in Cathedral City, including the Senior Center, to establish a date for a pre-concert performance. Reach agreement on date September 2026 - February 2027: continue to pursue grants, donors, corporate sponsors, and others to support the spring concert; continue recruitment of CCHS students March 2027: perform modified concert repertoire at senior venue, including CCHS students in performance
March 2027 - April 2027: Advertise spring concert; finalize concert logistics; sell tickets; perform concert at least once at selected venue

5. What Do You Ultimately Hope To Accomplish Through Your Proposed Art/Program/Event? How Will It Enrich Cathedral City? (Describe your goals and objectives and how many people you hope to impact as a result of your project.)

33 Goal: Engage Cathedral City residents in women's choral singing Objective 1: Re-establish an AcaChella program at CCHS, supporting girls in four-part acappella singing
Objective 2: Perform in at least one senior facility for residents/attendees to enjoy a free concert of women's four-part unaccompanied singing
Objective 3: Perform a concert in Cathedral City, to engage residents in the joys of choral singing

6. If Your Art/Program/Event Costs More Than You Are Requesting From The Community Arts Grant Program, How Do You Plan To Pay For The Additional Costs? (What Steps Have You Already Taken To Get Additional Funds Or In-Kind Support If Necessary?)

Since its establishment, Coachella Acappella has generated funds for its concerts and performances through singer dues, advertising in programs, grant applications, donations, ticket sales, and fees earned from performing at private events. These activities will continue to support funding the spring 2027 concert.

7. Do You Plan To Continue This Art/Program/Event Beyond The Period For Which You Have Requested The Funds? If So, How Do You Plan To Continue Paying For It? (Describe the types of efforts you will undertake to raise funds as well as your/your organization’s history of maintaining services/programs.)

Coachella Acappella is an ongoing choral ensemble, with regular recruitment of new members for the chorus and high school students. With the exception of the pandemic years, the chorus has offered a spring concert each year to residents of the Coachella Valley, performing in various venues across the valley (e.g., Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Cathedral City, etc.). The Chorus board of directors works to obtain advertising funds, performance underwriting, paid private performances, and donations to sustain the ensemble and supplement member dues and ticket sales. The ensemble also pursues grants.

8. (OPTIONAL) Is There Anything That You Would Like To Add? If So, Please Tell Us Here:

The 2019 study about choral singing, conducted by Grunwald Associates LLC and Chorus America (The Chorus Impact Study: Singing for a Lifetime) demonstrated the broad benefits of choral singing for singers and communities. Among the findings are that choral singing is a significant part of American life, with more than 54 million Americans singing in some type of choral ensemble. Choral singers make strong contributions to their communities, including volunteering more often than those who do not sing in a chorus and being more likely to assume leadership roles in the community, when compared to those not singing in a chorus.

For older singers, who are over 65 years of age, they experience a better quality of life and experience better health than their peers who are not participating in a chorus. Further, older singers participate in a wider range of activities than their peers who do not sing in a chorus. 34 The last finding of the study was that individuals who sing in a chorus feel less lonely and are more connected to others than their peers who do not participate in a chorus. Overall, these findings demonstrate that choral singing, such as with Coachella Acappella, benefits both the individuals who participate as well as the community as a whole. Funding to sustain choral singing is a wise investment for communities.

To Whom It May Concern at Cathedral City Community
Arts Grant Program,

My name is Rebecca M. Hendrickson.  I have resided in the Coachella Valley for 27 years.  My engagement with our community has been deliberate and varied having served on the Board of the Palm Springs High School Band for four years, served as Chaperone for two international Band trips, been a Girl Scout leader for ten years, participated in the Path of the Bighorn as an artist (my ram resides at the Rancho Mirage Library), been an Odyssey of the Mind team coach to youth, helped originate a Middle School Debate Team, have been and currently am a volunteer at Hidden Harvest, 36 and trained and volunteered as an art instructor in elementary schools in Palm Springs.  I taught college level art at an all-women’s college previous to living in the desert.   Also, I am a mother of 34- year old twin daughters.

My experience has allowed me a clear window in to the minds, perspectives, and potentials of young women.  It has allowed me to acknowledge and emphasize the importance of engagement of high school young women in positive, life-influencing activities.  These are vital to female students to help them realize successful lives in careers, community, and family.  They provide a sense of self-worth and self-confidence.

It is, therefore, my pleasure to endorse and support the work of Alan Scott and the Coachella Acappella Women’s Chorus.  This established community choral group began an outreach program in 2023 called Acachella.  It involves recruiting of, training of, and offering performances for female high school students.  Under Mr. Scott’s leadership and his adult singers’ enthusiasm and talent, the initial program at Palm Springs High School grew to serve three high schools .  They meet in their free time during lunch to learn and practice.  They do not receive school credit for this.  They participate because they want to learn and have fun together.

The students receive voice and music instruction from Mr. Scott and various adult choir members.

They learn how to participate in a group while pursuing their individual goals and talents.  They acquire self-confidence within their weekly practices that is further elevated as they perform for the public during concerts.  They learn responsibility – showing up on time for practice and being prepared to sing their individual parts.  They realize positive participation experiences in community as well as individual benefits.  All of these attributes build character and contribute to healthy and successful lives.

I have witnessed firsthand from my own daughters and their schoolmates at Palm Springs Unified School District the positive effects of extra-curricular high school activities.  They are stepping stones to building engaged lives.  They give confidence to pursue individual as well as group goals.  They support an “I can do that” attitude that reaches far in to their futures.  They are enjoyable as well as excellent learning opportunities.  For all of these reasons, the Acachella program is worthy of growth and to remain free for students.
37 The Coachella Acappella Women’s Chorus desires to bring the whole Chorus and Acachella to Cathedral City through this grant.

I greatly encourage your organization, Cathedral City Community Arts Grant Program, to assist in the further development of the worthwhile efforts of Acachella and the Coachella Acappella Women’s Chorus.  Female high school students in Cathedral City will thrive and taste success through personal growth and community engagement and residents and senior citizens will prosper with musical performances and cultural opportunities.  Please consider their grant request.

If I can provide further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Best regards,

Rebecca M. Hendrickson

The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens Testimonial for Grant Opportunity Judy Esterbrook <[email protected]> Mon, Apr 20 at 5:28 PM To: Karen Blinkinsop <[email protected]>
We have collaborated with Coachella Acappella for the last several years on our annual WildLights event.  The team has brought joy and smiles to our guests as they enter the zoo during the holidays.  They have been such a great addition to the event and really set the tone for a beautiful sense of arrival for this beloved community event.  We encourage you to consider them highly for this grant opportunity.  The chance to experience acappella in person is a rare opportunity.  We hope that you will help them preserve this enriching experience for new generations to come.

Wild regards,
Judy

Describe your/your organization’s capacity to execute the proposed activities.)

Denise (Dede) Ondishko, Ph.D., is a retired public school music teacher and has been directing, designing and conducting large and small performances for decades. Here in the valley, Ondishko has built a growing community of musicians, songwriters and music students. For the past several years, Ondishko has led music jam groups for bluegrass, folk, and Irish music. She hosts a variety music show, Americana Guest House, at the Palm Springs Cultural Center featuring local songwriters and performers. She hosts an open mic at the Shadow Mountain Golf Course featuring original songwriters during the season. She is a seasoned festival volunteer at music festivals throughout California, Utah and Colorado and this will be the first time she is organizing a festival herself.

Jason Powell and his wife Natalie have been contributing to the sound and video recording for three years at the Palm Springs Cultural Center as part of the Americana Guest House show. Jason and Dede both perform in this event and the Cathedral City Bluegrass Band.

Dr. Powell teaches strings and choir at Palm Springs High School. They are happy to extend their services to this event.

The participants of the Date Palm Bluegrass and Folk Jam are hard-working retired professionals who have demonstrated willingness to help and get involved in events like this. A good handful will take leadership beforehand and during the day.

48 What Do You Ultimately Hope To Accomplish Through Your Proposed Art/Program/Event? How Will It Enrich Cathedral City? (Describe your goals and objectives and how many people you hope to impact as a result of your project.)

I love living in Cathedral City. Here, we are central to all the other boroughs of the valley.

Many of my performing musical colleagues live in town with me and it sure would be grand to make a point of that! I believe this event will draw a wide number of valley music lovers and musicians. I believe this event will show a more diverse cultural experience because folk and bluegrass music are not often heard in the valley restaurants and venues. Through musical interaction with professional players and songwriters in the bluegrass and folk genre, community musicians of all ages and abilities will learn how to better play a tune, better pull oƯ a riƯ, find a better key, learn a new song, write a better song and a be happier about it. Up to 350 people could be in attendance during the day, with each person taking home more skill and knowledge to share with their musical communities. Short-term, more people will join in on the weekly bluegrass and folk jam held weekly in Cathedral City.

More artists will step up to participate in open mics in town and coƯee shop performances.

Long-term, (esp. if this festival becomes an annual event) it will bring attention to the city from a wider audience of southern California residents and Canadians who are seeking music festivals during the peak season.

49 If Your Art/Program/Event Costs More Than You Are Requesting From The Community Arts Grant Program, How Do You Plan To Pay For The Additional Costs? (What Steps Have You Already Taken To Get Additional Funds Or In-Kind Support If Necessary?)

I have asked the Date Palm Bluegrass and Folk Jam group to provide volunteer work and donations (both materials and monies) to help make sure the event is fully covered.

Several members are luthiers and longtime musicians with spare gear to share. We will also solicit local businesses for sponsorship items.

50 Do You Plan To Continue This Art/Program/Event Beyond The Period For Which You Have Requested The Funds? If So, How Do You Plan To Continue Paying For It? (Describe the types of eƯorts you will undertake to raise funds as well as your/your organization’s history of maintaining services/programs.)

There are no additional activities after this event other than the ongoing management of the Date Palm Bluegrass and Folk Jam. I am hoping this event is a success and becomes worthy of using the Cathedral City Amphitheater in future years. 51 52

57 To: Cathedral City Community Arts Program April 19th, 2026 From: Susan O. Thoen, Booking & Bass Director, Blue Creek Band Re: Dr. Denise Ondishko, Ph.D. Proposa

Dear Arts Program Directors,

My name is Susan Thoen, and I am a Musician, Songwriter and Performer with a background in Marketing and Promotions for two Bands in Southern California. I have had the great pleasure to have played with, worked alongside and been advised by Denise (Dede) Ondishko Since 2022. She is the ultimate professional with unbounded energy, enthusiasm and community building in this wonderful world of live music. Her support for musicians has been the springboard for creativity and kinship everywhere she goes.

I highly recommend Dede, as an organizer, a community builder and artis advocate. Her proposal for the Songwriter Festival and Bluegrass Jam will convey all of her true passion for leading an event with inclusiveness, educational forum and inspiration for all of the participants and fans in the Valley and beyond.

Thank you for considering my support for Dr. Denise Ondishko, Dede as we all know her!

Sincerely,

SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR QUESTION 1

We feature student performers alongside professional musicians, creating the kind of unforgettable moment when a young person realizes they belong on that stage too.

Through SMEF’s SMARTS Initiative (Sharing Music, Accessing Resources, Transforming Students), emerging youth artists share the spotlight with seasoned professionals, gaining confidence, mentorship, and real-world experience in front of a live audience. Programming may include jazz, soul, blues, spoken word, and culturally rooted music that reflects the rich diversity and spirit of our region.

Any additional costs will be covered through individual donations, sponsorships, ticket revenue if applicable, in-kind contributions, board support, and volunteer services.

Question 7: Will You Continue Beyond the Grant Period?

SMEF believes the arts do more than entertain—they heal, connect, inspire, and transform communities. We would be honored to partner with Cathedral City to create meaningful arts experiences that reflect the city’s creativity, diversity, and spirit. Because when music fills a public space, something beautiful happens: children see the possibility of themselves on a real stage, the community sees their brilliance shining back, and everyone is reminded that talent, hope, and opportunity live right here at home.

Hope you get the grant — we have some great student players this semester who would love to participate in whatever way we can help: To Whom It May Concern, I am pleased to offer my strong support for the Sunset Music & Education Foundation’s application to the City of Cathedral City Community Arts Grant Program. As Director of Bands at Desert Hot Springs High School, I have seen firsthand the meaningful impact SMEF has had on my students and our music program. Through their generosity, students have gained access to high-quality instruments that would otherwise be out of reach for many families. That support has made a profound difference—not only in strengthening their skills as musicians, but in building their confidence as young people. When students have the right tools in their hands, everything changes. They take greater pride in their work, engage more deeply, express themselves more fully, and begin to see new possibilities for their future. Opportunities to perform alongside professional musicians and be part of real-world arts experiences are especially powerful because students begin to understand that they belong on those stages too. The Sunset Music & Education Foundation continues to create lasting and meaningful opportunities for youth across our region. I strongly support this proposal and believe it would be a valuable investment in the young people, families, and cultural life of Cathedral City.

I want to give my support for Sunset Music & Education Foundation and this grant. They helped my granddaughter Amira very much. They bought the shoes she needed for Ballet Folklorico so she can dance. They also helped her with guitar lessons and found a good teacher for her. Without this help, many things was not possible for our family. I see my granddaughter more happy, more confident, and excited to learn. She feels proud when she dances and plays music. It means a lot for our family to see her grow and have these opportunities. This program helps children and families in the community. They give hope and open doors. I believe Cathedral City should support Sunset Music & Education Foundation and the good work they do. Thank you, Maria Gallegos 34800 Judy Ln Cathedral City, CA 92234 89 #3 Community Partner: Musician Yve Evans To The Powers That Be on the Cathedral City Grants Committee, I’m proud to support Sweet Baby J’ai and the Sunset Music and Education Foundation in their application for the Cathedral City Community Arts Grant. As an artist who has performed with them, I’ve seen the care and intention they bring to creating events that are more than concerts. They know how to turn a room into community. They celebrate excellence, welcome everybody in, and make space for young talent to stand beside experienced performers and shine. That matters. When young people can see themselves on a real stage, and the audience can see their gifts too, it plants seeds of confidence and possibility that last far beyond one performance. I believe SMEF would bring something joyful, meaningful, and needed to Cathedral City. With love and support, Yve Evans 90
