The equipment purchased through this project will provide long-term sustainability beyond the grant term. The Bosch EDR download tool and DJI Matrice 4 will remain Department assets and will be integrated into standard operating practices for applicable serious-injury and fatal collision investigations. These tools will improve investigative quality, support effective prosecution and accountability, reduce personnel exposure to traffic hazards, and help shorten roadway closures—benefits that continue for multiple years without recurring equipment costs. CCPD will maintain the equipment through existing Department processes, ensure personnel are designated to operate the systems in accordance with policy, and continue documenting performance measures to support future traffic safety planning and funding decisions.
Administrative Support
The Cathedral City Police Department has successfully managed multiple grant-funded projects and participates annually in the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) STEP grant program. Project oversight will be provided by the Traffic Bureau supervisor/Police Sergeant serving as the grant coordinator, who will be responsible for scheduling and documenting the 24 DUI saturation patrols, ensuring activities align with the approved scope and budget, and completing required quarterly and final reporting. Operational and statistical support will be provided through the Department’s Alliance CAD/RMS system, which is used for report writing, computer-aided dispatch, records management, and crime analysis. Collision and enforcement statistics will be compiled from Alliance by the Traffic Sergeant and reviewed regularly to evaluate performance and guide enforcement deployment. Fiscal management and reimbursement billing will be handled by the Police Department’s Administrative Analyst in coordination with the City of Cathedral City Finance Department to ensure proper tracking, documentation, and timely submission of grant expenditures. CCPD has the personnel, administrative processes, and physical resources necessary to implement directed enforcement operations and integrate the Bosch EDR tool and DJI Matrice 4 into traffic collision investigations within the project performance period.

Item No. 3.P
Meeting Date: July 22, 2026
From: Nate Hanley, Police Commander
Title: Purchase of Police Vehicle for the Clinical Behavioral Health Assessment (CBAT) Officer Using Opioid Settlement Funds RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the purchase of a 2026 Chevrolet Traverse in the amount of $63,381.07, including vehicle acquisition, outfitting, decals, and mobile data computer.
BACKGROUND:
In June 2026, the City Council approved the use of National Opioid Settlement funds to support the Clinical Behavioral Health Assessment (CBAT) officer position. This approval also included funding for a dedicated vehicle that will be used for emergency response, case management, and the transportation of individuals seeking treatment or intervention.
The vehicle will support field-based behavioral health assessments, treatment referrals, and stabilization services. It will be a marked patrol unit assigned exclusively to the CBAT program and will be specially upfitted for overdose response and equipped with supplies to assist members of the public.
DISCUSSION:
Staff conducted market research within Cathedral City and the Coachella Valley regarding vendors offering the 2026 Chevrolet Traverse AWD SUV with vinyl wrapped rear seats.
Jessup Auto Plaza indicated they had the vehicle in stock and could vinyl wrap the rear seat.
La Quinta Chevrolet had a Traverse AWD in stock in a higher model outfitting but would not vinyl wrap the rear seat. In addition to both local vendors, staff contacted Quality Chevrolet in Escondido, CA, who also had the vehicle in stock, but would not vinyl wrap the rear seat.
Vendor Name Quoted Price
Jessup Auto Plaza In stock – Vinyl wrapped rear seat $48,107.11 La Quinta Chevrolet Z71 model in stock- no wrapped rear seat $54,208.37 Quality Chevrolet in Escondido In stock, no wrapped rear seat $46,156.17
The proposed vehicle from Jessup Auto Plaza matches the specification and the needs for the CBAT program. Staff have obtained quotes for outfitting of the vehicle, including sole source quotes from Dana Safety for emergency lighting and equipment 1 SoCal Graphics in Cathedral City for vehicle graphics laptop coordinated through IT and the city’s agreement with Dell.
Section 3.12.160 of the Cathedral City Municipal Code permits exceptions to a competitive bidding requirement when a commodity can be obtained from only one vendor or through a government contract, among other instances. Dana Safety is the only vendor that can obtain and install the necessary emergency lighting and equipment in a reasonable period of time.
SoCal Branding holds the City’s vehicle graphics design. The City is receiving beneficial pricing through its governmental contract with Dell.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total fiscal impact of this purchase is $58,352.64, including the acquisition of the Chevrolet Traverse, outfitting, decals, and mobile data computer. The applicable quotes include the estimated local 9.25% sales tax. With this being an addition to the city’s fleet inventory, the Opioid Fund will provide funding to the Equipment Replacement Fund (611).
Cost Breakdown:
Item Vendor Total Cost
1- Chevrolet Traverse LT AWD Jessup Auto Plaza $48,107.11 1- Emergency Equipment Package Dana Supply $10,899.15

Hello Commander Hanley,
If I understood correctly this should be the correct quote you requested. The second row vinyl is included in the quote as the accessories line for $995 then itemized at the bottom. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional information.

Finally heard back from the upholstery company. They told me if you want actual leather it will be $1900 to wrap all of the rear seats. For vinyl it's $1700 for all the rear seats.
Since it is a 3rd row vehicle if you chose to only do one row he said it is half of the cost so if you want one 1 row in vinyl its $850. Please let me know if you need any other information. I have also clipped the window sticker to the AWD Traverse LT. This one is in Summit white but Mosaic black is available as well.
You don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important 5 3

Mr. Magana,
Can you please provide me a fleet quote for a white or black Chevy Traverse AWD.
Also does the vehicle come with the option of the rear seats being vinyl instead of cloth. This vehicle is intended for field work at CCPD.

Item No. 4.A
Meeting Date: July 22, 2026
From: Lidia Buelna, Human Resources Specialist
Title: AB 2561 Employee Vacancies and Recruitment and Retention RECOMMENDATION:
To hold a public hearing and receive and file this report.
BACKGROUND:
On September 22, 2024, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 2561 (AB2561) into law, amending the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA), and enacting Government Code Section 3502.3. This law requires public agencies to publicly address the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts during a public hearing before their governing board at least once per fiscal year prior to the adoption of the annual budget. During the presentation, the public agency must also identify any changes to policies, procedures, or recruitment activities that may create obstacles in the hiring process.
Additionally, under AB2561, if the number of vacancies meets or exceeds 20% of the total number of authorized full-time positions in a particular bargaining unit, the public agency shall include the following information in its presentation upon request of the recognized employee organization:
The total number of job vacancies within a bargaining unit. The total number of applicants for vacant positions within the bargaining unit. The average number of days to complete the hiring process from when a position is posted.
Opportunities to improve compensation and other working conditions.
Government Code Section 3502.3 also entitles recognized employee organizations, regardless of the vacancy rate, to make a presentation before the governing board during the same public hearing in which the public agency presents its annual vacancy report.
The public hearing was duly published on July 6, 2026.
DISCUSSION:
1 Currently, the City has four (4) bargaining units and one (1) non-represented group – Cathedral City Police Management Association (CCPMA), Cathedral City Police Officers Association (CCPOA), Cathedral City Fire Association (CCFA), the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), and the Non-Represented group.
At the present moment, none of the City’s bargaining units have vacancy rates exceeding 20%. As such, additional reporting is not required for this public hearing.
The table below summarizes current vacancy status by bargaining unit as of July 1, 2026:

City Council
Item No. 4.B
Meeting Date: July 22, 2026
From: Patrick Bumstead, Financial Analyst II
Title: CFD 2006-1, IA #23, Formation, Election and Ordinance Public Hearing RECOMMENDATION:
City Council of the City of Cathedral City, acting on behalf of Improvement Area (IA) No. 23 (Forest Lawn) of the City of Cathedral City Community Facilities District (CFD) 2006-1 (law enforcement, police, paramedic, park and general maintenance services), adopt the following:
Resolution of Formation determining the validity of prior proceedings (Resolution 2026-22, Resolution of Intention)
Resolution Calling for a Special Election
Resolution Canvassing the Results of the Special Election Introduce, by title only, the 1 st reading of an Ordinance Authorizing the Levy of a Special Tax
BACKGROUND:
On June 10, 2026, the City Council declared its intention to form Improvement Area No.23 of the City of Cathedral City Community Facilities District No. 2006-1 (law enforcement, fire, paramedic, park maintenance and general maintenance services) (“CFD”) for the purpose of paying for additional law enforcement, fire, paramedic, park and general maintenance services within areas of new development.
DISCUSSION:
A public hearing has been set for July 22, 2026. As directed in the Resolution of Intention, David Taussig & Associates, Inc. prepared the Rate and Method of Apportionment (“RMA”), an analysis of the special tax to allow each property owner or resident, within the proposed district, to understand the annual amount required for payment. 1 New developments are conditioned to join CFD 2006-1 and will join through an annexation process. The annexations will be processed in a timely manner, as new developments go through the approval processes. If formed, this CFD will provide a secure source of funding for the services described above that may not be taken away should there be any State budget cuts. It is proposed this Improvement Area will be formed within the CFD for the Forest Lawn Specific Plan.
Provided there is no majority protest at this public hearing, the City Council may adopt the resolution forming the CFD. A waiver regarding election timelines from the property owner has been received, so an election can be held July 22, 2026, authorizing the levy of a special tax. Should the proposition for the CFD pass with a two-thirds vote from the qualified voters (the landowners) within the CFD, the City Council may have the first reading of an Ordinance levying the special tax.

Item No. 5.A
Meeting Date: July 22, 2026
From: Erick Becerril, Economic Development Manager
Title: Adopt A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager and Financial Services Director to act as the Official Designees for the Proposition 64 Public Health and Safety Grant Program
RECOMMENDATION:
To adopt a Resolution identifying the City Manager and Financial Services Director to act as the official designees to accept the grant from the Proposition 64 Public Health and Safety Grant Program and authorize the City Manager and Financial Services Director to execute any and all documents related to the grant.
BACKGROUND:
In February 2026, the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) released the Proposition 64 Cohort 4 Request for Proposals making $125 million available to California cities and counties to assist with law enforcement, fire protection, or other local programs addressing public health and safety associated with the implementation of the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act. Successful applicants are under agreement with the BSCC from July 1, 2026, to December 31, 2031, which includes five years for service delivery and an additional six months to complete evaluation requirements. The application period closed March 30, 2026. Cathedral City submitted an application prior to the deadline requesting $4,500,000 in grant funding.
On June 25, 2026 the BSCC Board approved the City’s application for $4,500,000 in grant funding.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Cathedral City submitted a comprehensive, multi-department application to the Proposition 64 Public Safety and Enforcement program that addresses the significant public safety, public health, youth protection, and environmental impacts generated by one of the largest cannabis industry clusters in California. The departments participating in the development of the grant application included the Police Department, Fire Department, Finance Department, and Code Compliance and Economic Development divisions. 1 With more than 60 licensed cannabis businesses, and illicit market activity, the City faces escalating challenges including hazardous materials incidents, illegal operations, odor impacts, youth exposure risks, and high regulatory demand. Between 2021 and 2025, Cathedral City Fire & EMS responded to 38 cannabis-related emergencies, including three hazmat events requiring multi-agency intervention, and conducted 727 cannabis inspections.
The Cathedral City Police Department (CCPD) has investigated 336 cannabis-related crimes in the past 3 years. Odor complaints increased to 500 in a six-month period between May and November in 2025 and are still ongoing, with 67% of those complaints concentrated near residential areas. CCPD continues to uncover unlicensed grows, unsafe extraction sites, and illegal sales operations that exploit the scale of the legal market.
Cathedral City’s plan to address the illicit market consists of a four-pronged approach:
1. Public Safety & Enforcement
oHazardous Materials Quick Response Vehicle (QRV) and associated hazmat supplies, PPE, training, and equipment to provide rapid, local response to cannabis-related chemical hazards
oMobile electronic citation system (Dataticket printers + iPads) to modernize cannabis enforcement, reduce errors, and allow inspectors to access licensing data in real time
oHigh-end detective computers to support digital investigations into illegal cannabis sales, diversion, and unlicensed operations
oCitywide surveillance cameras and two additional drones to deter illegal cannabis use and sales and support investigations into illicit operations oA tactical vehicle and associated tactical team PPE to safely intercede in high- risk illicit facilities
oIncreased personnel overtime and one dedicated temporary Code Compliance inspector to expand cannabis enforcement capacity
2. Public Health
oPortable gas detection monitors to promote safe response to extraction and cultivation facilities
oEnvironmental monitoring network of three weather stations to track odor dispersion, identify likely sources, and support enforcement oEnvirosuite modeling tools to analyze odor patterns, backward trajectories, and environmental conditions
3. Youth Development/Prevention
oCameras throughout the City to prevent cannabis use and sales in youth-serving areas
oEnforcement technology and proactive inspections to reduce illegal cannabis activity near youth recreation spaces
oSchool engagement, education, and interventions by CCPD’s School Resource Officers will also help prevent underage youth cannabis use or misuse.
4. Environmental Impacts
oESRI GeoEvent Server + GNSS receivers to map cannabis sites, track environmental data, and support compliance verification (also enforcement) oOdor complaint reporting system integrated with weather and GIS data to identify patterns and validate community concerns
As part of the grant requirements, a Resolution from the City Council is required before 2 contract execution. As part of the Resolution, delegated signing authority must be granted.
Staff recommends granting this signing authority to the City Manager and Director of Financial Services to accept the grant and execute any necessary documents.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City will receive $4,500,000 in grant funding from the State of California, BSCC Corrections Planning and Grant Programs (CPGP) Division.

16 Staff Report
City Council
Item No. 5.B
Meeting Date: July 22, 2026
From: Anne V. Ambrose, Assistant City Manager
Title: A Resolution Of The City Council Of The City Of Cathedral City Authorizing The City Manager To Conduct A Feasibility Study For Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Districts
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to conduct a feasibility study for Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Districts.
BACKGROUND:
In June 2026, staff met with Kosmont Companies representatives to discuss potential financing strategies for the future community center. During that discussion but separate from the topic of the community center, Kosmont informed staff of the benefit of Cathedral City evaluating and exploring TIF Districts that may include and overlap with Opportunity Zone (OZ) 2.0 Districts in the City. Coupled together, TIF and OZ 2.0 Districts create a powerful incentive for various types of economic development. The importance of this information was a need to file a resolution authorizing the City to explore TIF districts in the Opportunity Zones, prior to the period for filing for new districts on July 25, 2026.
DISCUSSION:
TIFs are authorized by California state law and begin with the designation of a geographic area as a TIF District. TIF is a value capture revenue tool that uses taxes on future gains in real estate values to pay for new infrastructure improvements. It is important to note that TIFs do not increase property taxes. TIFs create funding for public or private projects by borrowing against the future increase in property-tax revenues. The intent is for the improvement to enhance the value of existing properties and encourage new development in the district. TIFs induce private investment and create value for prospective developers. There are different types of TIFs, such as Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFD) or Community Revitalization Investment Authorities (CRIAs).
Opportunity Zones are economically distressed communities, defined at the individual census tract level, that are nominated by the Governor of California and certified by the U.S.
Secretary of the Treasury. Under certain conditions, new investments in Opportunity Zones 1 may be eligible for preferential tax incentives. Opportunity Zones can be a powerful tool for driving private investment into underserved communities. Originally created as a temporary initiative in 2017, the incentive was later enhanced and made permanent under Public Law 119-21, which was signed into law on July 4, 2025; OZ 2.0 refers to the permanent renewal and enhancement of the Opportunity Zones program.
TIF and OZ 2.0 Districts, when utilized in tandem, can be beneficial both for the City of Cathedral City and private investors. For the City, it reduces public cost by using tax increment financing to cover off-site infrastructure and site readiness before private capital is deployed. For private investors, OZ 2.0 is attractive because it provides a federal tax incentive that is further motivated by local TIF resources. Ultimately, layering OZ equity with TIF means more development can be catalyzed with less financial contribution and risk by the City.
The Resolution before the Council will not establish any TIF. Rather, its purpose is to authorize the City Manager or their designee to conduct a study exploring the feasibility of establishing one or more TIFs within the City.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of preparing a feasibility study has not been budgeted and would be a budget amendment for an increase in General Fund expenditures. The cost of preparing a feasibility study would be determined through a procurement process and any budget amendment would be presented to the City Council as part of a future presentation.
FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal F-16: Develop and implement initiatives to proactively monitor the City's commercial corridors to address visual blight and nuisance issues associated with vacant and underutilized properties and non-compliant commercial strips and centers.

A RESOLUTION BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CATHEDRAL
CITY, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO CONDUCT A
FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (TIF) TOOLS WHEREAS, the City of Cathedral City seeks to identify long-term, sustainable funding sources for public infrastructure, affordable housing, and community-wide improvements; and WHEREAS, the California State Legislature has authorized local governments to establish Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFD) under Government Code §53398.50 et seq. to capture tax increment for such purposes; and WHEREAS, the City Council desires to evaluate the fiscal impact, potential boundaries, and revenue-generating capacity of such districts across specific corridors, e.g., the Downtown, without committing to a specific development project at this time; and WHEREAS, a formal feasibility study is a critical prerequisite to determine if a partnership with the County or other taxing entities is viable.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
1. Authorization of Study: The City Manager, or their designee, is hereby authorized to explore the feasibility of establishing one or more EIFDs or Community Revitalization Investment Authorities (CRIAs) within the City.
2. Scope of Work: Staff is directed to evaluate potential district boundaries, project baseline assessed valuations, and estimate future tax increment revenue based on general growth projections rather than a single project.
3. Consultant Engagement: The City Manager is authorized to solicit a qualified financial or economic development consultant to assist in the feasibility analysis.
Any required budget amendment or authorization will be brought to the City Council for approval.
4. Stakeholder Outreach: Staff is authorized to initiate non-binding discussions with affected taxing entities (e.g., the County) to gauge interest in participating in a future Public Financing Authority (PFA).
5. Non-Binding Intent: This resolution is for exploratory purposes only and does not constitute a formal Resolution of Intention to form a district under Government Code §53398.54.

City Council
Item No. 5.C
Meeting Date: July 22, 2026
From: John A. Corella, Director of Public Works
Title: Approval of a Budget Adjustment to the CWSRF Septic-to-Sewer Planning Project (C01020), Acceptance of Additional (Clean Water State Revolving Fund) CWSRF Funding, and Approval of Additional Scope of Work Proposals from Ardurra, Inc. and Fomotor, Inc.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a budget adjustment to the CWSRF Septic-to-Sewer Planning Project (C01020), utilizing additional Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) funding awarded by the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB); and authorize the City Engineer to accept the proposals from Ardurra Group, Inc. and Fomotor, Inc. for additional scope of work necessary to complete the project.
BACKGROUND:
The Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF), administered by the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), provides funding for a variety of water quality improvement projects, including septic-to-sewer conversion projects. In August 2024, the City of Cathedral City was awarded $2,474,070 through the CWSRF Septic-to-Sewer Planning Program (SWRCB Project No. C-06-8696-110) to evaluate, design, and prepare necessary construction documents to connect six (6) existing residential areas currently utilizing septic systems to municipal sewer service. A map of the project areas is included in Attachment 1.
The municipal sewer systems within Cathedral City are owned, operated, and maintained by the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) and the Desert Water Agency (DWA). The project includes the following service areas:
CVWD Service Area
Whispering Palms Neighborhood (Whitewater area)
South City (Ocotillo Park area)
Papaya/Pomegranate Lane
Royal Palms Mobile Home Park
Caliente Sands Mobile Home Park
1 DWA Service Area
Lakeview Villas Condominiums
On March 26, 2025, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Ardurra Group, Inc. in the amount of $2,178,017.56 to prepare Preliminary Engineering Reports (PERs), environmental documentation, construction funding applications, and Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) necessary to fulfill the requirements of the CWSRF Agreement.
As of July 2026, Ardurra has completed the PERs for both the CVWD and DWA service areas, which have been approved by SWRCB. The project has subsequently advanced into environmental review, preparation of PS&E, tribal consultation, and development of the CWSRF construction funding applications.
Additionally, Memoranda of Understanding between the city, CVWD, and DWA have been executed establishing the respective responsibilities for project delivery, with the city responsible for planning, design, and environmental clearance, and the water agencies responsible for construction and operation of the sewer infrastructure within their service areas.
Since the commencement of the project, additional technical requirements, coordination efforts, and design complexities have been identified that required modifications to the approved project scope, schedule, and budget.
On February 25, 2026, the city submitted an amendment request to the SWRCB requesting additional funding, modifications to the project scope, and an extension of the project schedule.
On May 29, 2026, the SWRCB approved the city's amendment request in its entirety and executed Amendment No. 1 to the grant agreement, increasing the total grant funding award by $94,898.56, revising the project scope, and extending the project completion schedule.
DISCUSSION:
As part of Amendment No. 1 to the CWSRF Grant Agreement approved by SWRCB, additional scope of work was authorized as reimbursable activities to address newly identified right-of-way requirements and increased design complexity. Staff are requesting authorization to proceed with accepting proposals from consultants for the services necessary to complete these additional project requirements.
1. Utility Easement Acquisition and Bureau of Indian Affairs Coordination Following consultation with the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians (ACBCI), it was determined that utility easements will be required to construct sewer improvements within the Royal Palms Mobile Home Park area. Additionally, existing rights-of-way on Date Palm Drive adjacent to the project area are limited to highway purposes and cannot be utilized for utility infrastructure under current federal requirements.
2 As a result, the project requires acquisition of two (2) permanent utility easements and one (1) temporary construction easement, all of which require review and approval by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). These activities were not anticipated during preparation of the original grant application.
To support these efforts, staff requested proposals from Ardurra, Inc. (Project Design Consultant) and Fomotor, Inc. (City On-Call Consultant for Land Surveying) for surveying, mapping, easement preparation, appraisal coordination, and BIA processing services.
Consultant Cost Proposal
Ardurra (Project Design Consultant) $52,632.00
Fomotor (City On-Call Surveyor) $45,000.00
Staff recommend acceptance of the proposal submitted by Fomotor, as it provides the necessary scope of services at the lower cost. Staff also recommend a contingency of $5,000 for title status report fees.
2. Increased Design Effort
As design development progressed, the project team identified significant increases in the amount of infrastructure required to serve several project areas compared to the assumptions used during the original grant application process.
The refined project design includes approximately 120 additional septic-to-sewer connections, a 53 percent increase in 8-inch sewer pipeline lengths, additional trunk sewer upsizing, and substantially greater design complexity associated with mobile home parks and condominium developments.
As a result, Ardurra submitted an amendment request amount of $298,360 for additional design services necessary to complete PS&E for the affected project areas.
3. Additional Project Scope and Schedule Modifications
To accommodate the increased project complexity and anticipated BIA processing timelines, the amendment request to the SWRCB included additional scope and schedule modifications.
Staff requested authorization to divide the CVWD service area into two (2) separate CWSRF construction funding applications. Under the revised approach, Royal Palms Mobile Home Park and Caliente Sands Mobile Home Park will proceed as one (1) construction package, while Whispering Palms, South City, and Papaya/Pomegranate Lane will proceed as a separate construction package. This modification will allow the single-family residential areas to advance while federal easement approvals are obtained for the mobile home park areas.
Staff also requested an extension of the project completion date from June 30, 2027, to March 31, 2028, with a final reimbursement deadline of September 30, 2028, to accommodate the additional coordination and permitting requirements.
3 Summary
The city submitted an amendment request to SWRCB requesting these scope modifications and an additional $94,898.56 in grant funding. The SWRCB approved the city's request in its entirety and executed Amendment No. 1 to the funding agreement.
A full copy of the SWRCB amendment request, including the exhibits listed below, is attached to this staff report as Attachment 2.

If you answered “yes” to any of the above, explain below. ✔
1. The Royal Palms Mobile Home Park (MHP) area is within Tribal Trust land. The existing municipal sewer system is located under an easement granted for highway purposes only. Updated federal regulations prohibit “piggybacking” on the existing easement, therefore, two (2) permanent utility easements will be required to connect the MHP to the sewer system, and one (1) temporary construction easement will be required to construct the sewer system within the mobile home park. The City requests a scope amendment to include Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) coordination, administrative processing, and necessary appraisals to obtain BIA approval of the mentioned easements. Acquisition costs for these easements will be included in the Construction Project following CWSRF policies. A map of the required easements is shown in Exhibit A.
2. The City requests approval to submit two (2) separate CVWD construction funding applications rather than one (1). Royal Palms MHP will be separated due to extended easement acquisition schedules and Caliente Sands MHP should remain grouped with Royal Palms MHP, as both are mobile home park septic-to-sewer conversions located in close proximity, allowing for efficient coordination of construction. Whispering Palms Neighborhood, South City Neighborhood, and Papaya and Pomegranate Lane will be grouped on the other CVWD Construction Application. To offset the cost of this increased scope of work, the City is proposing to remove the Draft CWSRF Construction Financial Package for both CVWD and DWA phases.
A revised schedule has been prepared for the items included in Ardurra’s contracted scope of work (Exhibit B). The revised schedule reflects several necessary adjustments. First, the project experienced a delayed start in Fall 2025. The City issued three (3) rounds of Requests for Proposals (RFPs) before receiving qualified proposals, resulting in an approximately five (5) month delay in commencing the project. Second, the original schedule in the Grant Agreement showed draft environmental documents being completed concurrently with the Preliminary Engineering Reports (PERs). However, the Environmental Review phase cannot begin until written authorization is provided by the SWRCB following approval of the PERs. Because Environmental Review is contingent upon SWRCB authorization, this phase has been shifted accordingly. In addition, the PER review process among various different agencies has extended beyond the timeframe originally anticipated. The City recognizes the importance of allowing sufficient time for agency review and response to comments and is accounting for the additional duration in the project schedule for upcoming phases. Additional time has also been incorporated to develop the 60% PS&E. Due to the expanded right-of-way scope of work now required, including coordination and negotiation efforts associated with easement acquisition, the design schedule has been extended to ensure these activities are properly integrated and sequenced. Additionally, the schedule for submittal of the Construction Grant Applications has been adjusted. The City is preparing to submit the applications; however, submittal for the CVWD portion will be deferred pending direction on this Amendment request, including confirmation of whether two (2) applications will be accepted instead of one (1). This ensures the applications are structured correctly and avoids potential duplication or rework.
Finally, the City anticipates obtaining BIA approval for the required easements before the end of 2027. Because coordination with the BIA for easement approvals involves federal review processes with timeframes that can vary, additional time has been incorporated into the schedule to provide a reasonable buffer. This conservative approach is intended to ensure the project remains achievable without requiring further extensions.
Including BIA coordination, easement processing, and required appraisals for Royal Palms MHP area ensures the project can be legally constructed and connected to the CVWD system. Without securing the necessary permanent utility and temporary construction easements, the Royal Palms MHP area connection could not proceed. These additions therefore allow the project to advance to implementation as originally intended. Separating the construction funding into two applications further supports the project’s intent by preventing delays to the other CVWD service areas. Because Royal Palms MHP requires additional time for easement acquisition, submitting separate applications allows the remaining areas to move forward on schedule while Royal Palms MHP completes the required federal right-of-way process. Grouping Caliente Sands MHP with Royal Palms MHP maintains construction efficiencies due to their proximity and similar mobile home park configurations. Overall, the proposed changes provide the administrative and regulatory pathway necessary to complete all planned septic-to-sewer conversions while minimizing schedule impacts and preserving the project’s original objectives. ✔

The requested extension of the project completion date from June 30, 2027, to March 31, 2028, is primarily the result of the delayed project start and, more significantly, the additional scope of work related to obtaining required easement approvals. The project experienced an approximately four (4) month delay at initiation due to the City issuing three rounds of Requests for Proposals (RFPs) before securing qualified proposals. This delayed the formal start of consultant services. More substantially, the expanded scope now includes coordination with the BIA and processing of required easements, which must be fully approved prior to the commencement of construction. The timeline for BIA coordination and approval can vary depending on federal review processes and documentation requirements. To account for this uncertainty and ensure a realistic schedule, the City is conservatively estimating that full BIA easement approval will be obtained by Fall 2027 and all submittals for the Planning Project can be submitted and approved by March 31, 2028.
The City has taken several proactive measures to ensure successful completion of the project under the revised schedule. The City and Ardurra (Project Designer) will closely monitor progress against this schedule and coordinate regularly to address issues promptly. The City is actively preparing Construction Grant Application materials so that submittal can occur upon receiving direction regarding this Amendment request. In addition, the City will continue early and ongoing coordination with the BIA to facilitate timely processing and approval of the required easements, with the expectation of securing approval by Fall 2027.Through these measures, the City remains committed to maintaining forward progress and ensuring project completion within the revised time frame.

The City requests funding increases for the following items:
1. Easement Preparation and Coordination: $50,000 is requested to support easement preparation and coordination with the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) for the Royal Palms MHP, including required appraisals. Fomotor Engineering’s proposal totals $45,000 (Exhibit C); an additional $5,000 contingency is included to cover potential additional coordination, Title Status Report fees, or higher-than-estimated appraisal costs.
2. PS&E Development for Sewer Projects: $298,360 to address increased work for Royal Palms MHP, Caliente Sands MHP, and Lakeview Villas Condos. This accounts for 120 additional septic tanks, 45% more pipeline, and added complexity in lateral design. Detailed scope is provided in Ardurra’s proposal (Exhibit D).
3. CVWD Construction Applications: The City proposes to prepare two (2) CWSRF Construction Grant applications instead of one (1) (Royal Palms MHP/Caliente Sands MHP and the three (3) single-family residential areas). To offset this, the “Draft CWSRF Construction Financial Package” is removed from Sections 2.3 (CVWD) and 3.3 (DWA), requiring no additional funding.
To offset the increases:
4. Available grant funding: $253,461.44 is available on the CWSRF Planning Grant and will be applied to reduce the net requested increase to $94,898.56 (Exhibit E.
5. Budget Reallocation: $183,479.00 from the Project Management Phase is proposed to be reallocated to the CVWD and DWA Sewer Project phases (Exhibit F). The City will perform the remaining administrative project management services included under Section 4 at its own expense and will not charge these costs to the grant.
These changes allow the City to address increased scope, complexity, and adjusted application preparation for CVWD to successfully complete the design and documentation necessary to connect all targeted areas to the municipal sewer systems. ✔

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Fomotor Engineering is prepared to assist the City of Cathedral City as necessary to deliver this project. The services are outlined below.
TASKS:
Provide surveying and mapping services outlined below for the CWSRF Septic to Sewer Planning Project over APN 687-050-023 and 687-060-012 (The Royal Palms Mobile Home Park) and the Date Palm Right of Way:
• Review provided preliminary title reports and request/review Title Status Reports (TSRs) for Royal Palms Mobile Home Park
• Boundary research and record review necessary to support easement preparation • Field surveying (aerial and ground survey for mapping purposes), as required, to establish horizontal control and proposed easement limits.
• Preparation of base mapping base on record information and survey exhibits suitable for BIA review.
• Preparation of easement plats and legal descriptions for:
o Two (2) permanent utility easements along Date Palm Drive along the proposed sewer lines.
• One (1) temporary construction easement within Royal Palms Mobile Home Park. We propose easement strips along the approximate centerline of the existing roads of which sewer improvements are proposed.
• BIA coordination and support, including meetings, application submittals, and follow -up correspondence to facilitate easement approval
• Coordination with CVWD to confirm easement exhibit and legal description requirements. • Obtain 1-2 appraisals of land value of project easement and the incidental effects on existing land use. Assumptions include: 1) these acquisitions can indeed occur on tribal land, (2) that the mobile homes themselves could continue to be occupied during the term of construction, and (3) the TCE’s would not impact any homes or site improvements with the area of the TCE being restored to its original condition at the completion of construction.

15. ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE. No work that is subject to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) or the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) may proceed under this Agreement until the State Water Board has provided approval to proceed. Upon receipt and review of the Recipient’s environmental documents, the State Water Board shall make the appropriate environmental findings before determining whether to approve construction or implementation funding for the Project under this Agreement. Providing approval for such construction or implementation funding is fully discretionary. The State Water Board may require changes in the scope of work or additional mitigation as a condition to providing construction or implementation funding under this Agreement. Recipient shall not perform any work subject to CEQA and/or NEPA before the State Water Board completes its environmental review and specifies any changes in scope or additional mitigation that may be required.

The Recipient agrees to ensure that its final Reimbursement Request is received by the Division no later than the Final Reimbursement Request Date, unless prior approval has been granted by the Division. If the final Reimbursement Request is not received timely, the undisbursed balance of this Agreement may be deobligated.

All costs submitted pursuant to this Agreement must only be for the work or tasks set forth in this Agreement. The Recipient must not submit any invoice containing costs that are ineligible or have been reimbursed from other funding sources unless required and specifically noted as such (i.e., match costs). Any costs for which the Recipient is seeking reimbursement shall not be reimbursed from any other source. Double or multiple billing for time, services, or any other cost is improper and will not be compensated. Any suspected occurrences of fraud, forgery, embezzlement, theft, or any other misuse of public funds may result in suspension of disbursements and, notwithstanding any other section in this Agreement, the termination of this Agreement requiring the immediate repayment of all funds disbursed hereunder. Additionally, the Deputy Director of the Division may request an audit and refer the matter to the Attorney General’s Office or the appropriate district attorney’s office for criminal prosecution or the imposition of civil liability.
18. FUNDING CONTINGENCY. The State Water Board’s disbursement of funds hereunder is contingent on the Recipient’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Amendment No. 1
Exhibit C
reason, including but not limited to failure of the federal or State government to appropriate funds necessary for disbursement of funds, the State Water Board shall not be obligated to make any disbursements to the Recipient under this Agreement. If this Agreement’s funding for any fiscal year expires due to reversion or is reduced, substantially delayed, or deleted by the Budget Act, by Executive Order, or by order or action of the Department of Finance, the State Water Board has the option to either cancel this Agreement with no liability accruing to the State Water Board, or offer an amendment to the Recipient to reflect the reduced amount. This provision shall be construed as a condition precedent to the obligation of the State Water Board to make any disbursements under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to provide the Recipient with a right of priority for disbursement over any other entity. If any disbursements due the Recipient under this Agreement are deferred because sufficient funds are unavailable, it is the intention of the State Water Board that such disbursement will be made to the Recipient when sufficient funds do become available, but this intention is not binding.
19. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement is governed by and shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
20. RECIPIENT’S SHARE. The Recipient agrees that it will provide for the payment of its full share, if any share is required, of Project Costs and that all costs connected with the Project will be timely paid by the Recipient.

The parties agree that review or approval of Project plans and specifications by the State Water Board is for administrative purposes only, including conformity with application and eligibility criteria, and expressly not for the purposes of design defect review or construction feasibility, and does not relieve the Recipient of its responsibility to properly plan, design, construct, operate, and maintain the Project. To the extent permitted by law, the Recipient agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the State Water Board and any trustee, and their officers, employees, and agents for the Bonds, if any (collectively, "Indemnified Persons"), against any loss or liability arising out of any claim or action brought against any Indemnified Persons from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses, of every conceivable kind, character, and nature whatsoever arising out of, resulting from, or in any way connected with (1) the Project or the conditions, occupancy, use, possession, conduct, or management of, work done in or about, or the planning, design, acquisition, installation, or construction, of the Project or any part thereof; (2) the carrying out of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any related document; (3) any violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation, any environmental law (including, without limitation, the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the California Hazardous Substance Account Act, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, the Clean Air Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, the California Hazardous Waste Control Law, and California Water Code Section 13304, and any successors to said laws), rule or regulation or the release of any toxic substance on or near the Project; or (4) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary to make the statements required to be stated therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading with respect to any information provided by the Recipient for use in any disclosure document utilized in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except those arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Persons. The Recipient must also provide for the defense and indemnification of the Indemnified Persons in any contractual provision extending indemnity to the Recipient in any contract let for the performance of any work under this Agreement, and must cause the Indemnified Persons to be included within the scope of any provision for the indemnification and defense of the Recipient in any contract or subcontract.
