Holiday Parade Update
OCTOBER 25, 2023

Item 3.

Holiday Parade Entries

NUMBER OF ENTRIES
2022
• 89
2021
◦ 89
2019
◦ 104
2018
◦ 105
NUMBER OF CATEGORIES (24)
Bands (HS/MS/Other) = 3
Drumline (MS/Elem) = 12
Colorguard (Adult / ROTC) = 1
Fraternal Organizations = 3
Cheerleaders (HS/MS/ES/Mini) = 18
Drill/Dance (HS/MS/ES/Mini) = 11
Equestrian = 1
Tall Flags (HS/MS/ES/Mini) = 7
Floats (Commercial / Non-Commercial) = 11
Cars = 22

Item 3.

Length of Parade
Performance time in front of judges (2 minutes x 89 entries = 3 hours) ◦ This performance time was reduced from 2.5 minutes per entry in prior years ◦ Coordinators were asked to decrease further and advised they would not be able to develop a performance that is less than 2 minutes; if reduced they would reconsider participation. ◦ ASES provides all music for performance in advance to shave time off of setup in front of judges – this was an improvement last year.
◦ All entries continue to identify support for having an opportunity to perform and compete for parade trophies.

Gaps created by disparity and recurrence of performances along route ◦ This was eliminated last year by releasing all entries quicker and including monitors along the route, which helped maintain a more fluid forward flow of route traffic.

Item 3.

Number of Entries
•If entries are reduced it will have the following effects:
• Reduced number of attendees along parade route
• Reduce number of attendees at Veterans Memorial Park where the Holiday Carnival activities are programmed.
•Performance locations have been moved over the years:
• 6
th/Orchard
• 6
th/Vine
• 1
st Street/Cesar Chavez
• Moving the performance location has not reduced parade duration. • Moving the performance to the park stage will simply relocate where public will be waiting to watch their little ones.
• This move will also create a logistical challenge and backlog along 4th Street where all entries will staged waiting to perform. With 89 entries length of time for all entries to complete performing will still be similar – 3 hours.

The amount of such insurance shall be equal to the full insurable replacement cost of such improvements, as the same shall exist from time to time, or the amount required by any lender of Lessor, but in no event more than the commercially reasonable and available insurance value thereof.

All insurance policies shall contain a provision that such policies shall not be canceled or terminated without thirty (30) days' prior notice from the insurance company to Lessor. Lessee agrees that on or before thirty (30) days prior to expiration of any insurance policy, Lessee will deliver to Lessor written notification in the form of a receipt or other similar document from the applicable insurance company that said policy or policies have been renewed, or deliver certificates of coverage from another good and solvent insurance company for such coverage.

11.1 Defined. For purposes of this Lease, the term "Hazardous Substances" shall be as defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 9601 et and any regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, and as used to define "Hazardous Wastes" in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 6901 et seq., and any regulations promulgated thereto, or as may be identified or defined by any federal, state or local law or regulation.

The foregoing indemnity shall apply regardless of whether or not any such Claims are contributed to by the negligence or fault of the indemnified party, by the violation of any law, statute or regulation by the indemnified party, and even if the indemnified party is strictly liable therefore. However, in the event of such contributory negligence or other fault of the indemnified party, then the indemnified party shall not be indemnified hereunder in the proportion that the indemnified party's negligence or other fault caused any such Claims. Lessee shall execute such affidavits, representations or other documents from time to time as Lessor may reasonably request concerning Lessee's best knowledge and belief as to the presence of Hazardous Substances or Hazardous Wastes on the Premises. This paragraph shall survive the termination of this Lease.

Item 10.

Lessee notice of such default and if Lessee does not cure any such default within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice (or if the default is of a nature that it cannot be completely cured within such period, if Lessee does not commence such cure within such thirty (30) days and thereafter proceed with reasonable diligence and in good faith to cure such default), then Lessor may terminate this Lease on not less than thirty (30) days' notice to Lessee. On the date specified in such notice, the term of this Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall then quit and surrender the Premises to Lessor, without extinguishing Lessee's liability. If this Lease shall have been so terminated by Lessor, Lessor may at any time thereafter resume possession of the Premises by any lawful means and remove Lessee or other occupants and their effects.

20. Waiver. No failure of Lessor to enforce any term hereof shall be deemed to be a waiver.

BACKGROUND:

On December 3, 2018, a sub-reimbursement agreement was made and entered by and between the City of Coachella, Riverside County and the Coachella Valley Association of Governments for the Avenue 48 Widening Project, between Van Buren & Dillon Road. The proposed roadway improvements will add one westbound lane and two eastbound lanes with a raised median from Van Buren to Dillon Road.

Amendment #2, approved in April 2023, authorized the construction phase and extended the time trigger to commence construction to August 31,2023.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

On September 25, 2023, the CVAG Executive Committee approved Amendment #3 to the reimbursement agreement between CVAG, the County of Riverside, and the City of Coachella for the Avenue 48 Widening Project between Van Buren Street and Dillon Road.

STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Andrew Simmons, P.E., City Engineer
SUBJECT: Purchase of office furniture from Total Plan in an amount of $40,499.59 for the Fire Station #79 Rehabilitation and Expansion, City Project F-7.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize City Manager to purchase office furniture from Total Plan in an amount of $40,499.59 for the Fire Station #79 Rehabilitation and Expansion, City Project F-7.

BACKGROUND:

On December 8th, 2021, City Council authorized staff to advertise the Fire Station #79 Rehabilitation and Expansion Project to seek competitive construction bids and appropriated $6,800,000 in funding for the project’s completion including $5,000,000 in ARPA funding and $1.8 million in Fire DIF funding.

The City requested public bids in accordance with City standards and in compliance with the California Public Contract Code. Four bids were received and the lowest, responsive bidder was Dalke & Sons Construction, Inc. On July 13, 2022 City Council authorized a construction contract with Dalke & Sons Construction, Inc. for the construction of the Fire Station #79 Rehabilitation and Expansion Project and appropriated an additional $491,400.10 to cover additional construction costs.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

There is a new office and conference room that were added as part of the expansion that has no furniture and the old office furniture previously in the fire station, is worn down and dilapidated.

Staff recommends purchasing new furniture for all offices so they are matching and correspond with the new design. The furniture is custom made to fit in the office spaces to maximize the spaces and meet all the needs of the fire crew.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact. Cost included in FY 23/24 CIP budget for the Fire Station Rehabilitation and Expansion Project, F-7.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Andrew Simmons, P.E., City Engineer
SUBJECT: Award Construction Contract with Allied Paving Co. in the amount of $122,335 plus 15% contingency for pavement rehabilitation in Lewis Homes, which is a portion of the Street Pavement Rehabilitation Phase 19 – City Project ST-118.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize the City Manager to execute a construction contract with Allied Paving Co. in the amount of $122,335 plus 15% contingency ($140,685.25) for pavement rehabilitation in Lewis Homes, which is a portion of the Street Pavement Rehabilitation Phase 19 – City Project ST-118.

BACKGROUND:

On April 26,2023 City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a Maintenance of Effort Certification Statement for fiscal year 2023/2024, the Local Streets and Roads Revenue Projections, as well as, the projected five-year Measure A capital improvement plans budget for Measure A funding. The Street Pavement Rehabilitation Phase 19 Project was included in the budget and allocated $1,013.472 Measure A funds.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

SoCal Gas is completing a gas line replacement and adding new services within the Lewis Homes tract in two Phases. Work on Phase 1 is currently underway on Sunshine Avenue and Sunburst Street. Their work requires numerous trenches and potholes to the existing roadway that is already in poor condition. They are required to restore the roadway and complete a thin overlay over only half width of the streets where they are performing work. This would leave half of the neighborhood with pavement rehabilitation and the remainder in the same condition with trench patches. The City is working in cooperation with SoCal Gas and their contractor to complete the entire width of roadway at the same time and complete the areas SoCal Gas is not responsible for.

Phase 2 will include the remainder of the neighborhood on Sundown Lane, Sundance Lane and Suncrest Street. Additional improvements for Phase 2 will be brought back to council when the work has started for appropriations. Utilizing SoCal Gas and existing on-site contractors allows the City to complete the work in a timely manner and partner with SoCal Gas to split the costs.

Item 13.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact to the FY 23/24 CIP Budget. With this action, Council will be approving all necessary transfers from Measure A (117) to CIP Fund (182).

NOTICE TO OWNER
“Under the law, you may protect yourself against such claims by filing, before commencing such work of improvement, an original contract performance bond for the work of improvement or a modification thereof, in the office of the county recorder for the county where the property is situated, and requiring that a contractor’s payment bond be recorded in such office. Said bond shall be in an amount not less than fifty percent (50%) of the contract price and shall, in addition to any conditions for the performance of the contract, be conditioned for the payment in full of claims of all persons furnishing labor, services, equipment or materials for the work described in said contract.” Under California Mechanics Lien Law, any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, supplier or other person who helps to improve your property, but is not paid for his/her work or supplies, has a right to enforce claim against your property.

This means that after a court hearing, your property could be sold by a court officer and the proceeds of the sale used to satisfy the indebtedness. This can happen even if you have paid your contractor in full if the subcontractors, laborers, or suppliers remain unpaid. To preserve their right to file a claim or lien against your property, certain claimants such as subcontractors or material suppliers are required to provide you with a document entitled “Preliminary Notice.” Original (or prime) contractors and laborers for wages do not have to provide this notice. A Preliminary Notice is not a lien against your property. Its purpose is to notify you of persons who may have a right to file a lien against your property if they are not paid. Generally, the maximum time allowed for filing a claim or lien against your property is ninety (90) days after completion of your project.

BY SIGNING THISPAGE I HAVE READ THE TERMS OF THIS BID/PROPOSAL. PLEASE RETURN THIS PAGE (FAX OR MAIL) ALONG WITH YOUR PROPOSAL.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Rene Rosales, Code Enforcement Manager
SUBJECT: Authorize a Community Sponsorship to Animal Action League in the Amount of $16,000 to Support Public Spay/Neuter Clinic Events
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council consider awarding a sponsorship to Animal Action League in the amount of $16,000.00 to support upcoming spay/neuter clinic events for residents of the City of Coachella.

BACKGROUND:

Animal Action League (AAL), a 501(c) 3 non- profit corporation, was founded in 1989 for the express purpose of providing spay/neuter services for underprivileged cats and dogs. After working for 15 years in affordable spay/neuter clinics, it became obvious that those in most desperate need of this service were not being reached. Although this service was offered free to low income pet owners, there was as high as a 50% “no show” rate. In checking with these owners, the “no show” cause was due to transportation problems or they forgot, other plans intervened – in other words – such service was not high on the owner’s agenda.

Studies have determined that 3% of the pet-owning population is creating the overpopulation problem; and that this 3% are primarily low income and/or non-motivated pet owners. In order to be effective, AAL determined that a mobile clinic would be the most effective way to address this issue. It was determined that AAL could offer quality, “no frills” service and bring it directly to these communities where these animals most desperately needed help. In 2005, their goal was realized by acquiring a 32 foot, custom built, mobile, spay/neuter trailer.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Animal Action League (AAL) is requesting grant funding support to help put on five (5) public spay/neutering clinic events for the residents of the City of Coachella. AAL will conduct five free upcoming spay/neutering clinics in the City of Coachella for the Fiscal Year 2023/2024 for any resident that shows proof of residency, such as a government issued identification card, utility bills/credit card statement, rental/lease agreement, etc. Each clinic has a cost recovery of $3,200/clinic and during each clinic event; the following item below will be included:

Item 14.
 Professional Veterinary staff for an average of 27 to 33 spay/neuters surgeries.  Office staff for paperwork, money collection and receipts.  Staff and Volunteers to organize check-in table and clients.  Surgical Trailer to house pets safely and comfortably.  Pain shot and preventive antibiotic injection at time of surgery.  Aftercare Medical phone line for clients for any questions or concerns after surgery.

On May 30, 2023, this sponsorship request was taken in front of the Building/Code Enforcement/Public Safety Sub-Committee for discussion and feedback. The Sub-committee approved the proposal and request to take it in front of the City Council to allocate the necessary funds.

ALTERNATIVES:

1. Authorize sponsorship request to AAL in the amount of $9,600 to conduct three (3) public spay/neutering events in the City of Coachella.

2. Authorize sponsorship request to AAL in the amount of $3,200 to conduct one (1) public spay/neutering event in the City of Coachella.

3. Not Authorize sponsorship request to AAL to conduct any public spay/neutering events in the City of Coachella.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Should the City Council approve the staff recommendation, an appropriation of $16,000 from the City General Fund will be required to authorize this sponsorship request.

Since 2004, the Dia de los Muertos celebration event by Raices Cultura has grown year after year and the 2019 event brought more than 4,000 attendees together to celebrate art, culture, and community health with the main event partner’s Run with Los Muertos 5k Race. Funding from Raices Cultura sponsors supported unique art displays from large-scale Calaveras painted by local artists, to the traditional ‘ofrendas’ built by intergenerational family members, artists, and community organizations; the community art gallery featured over a dozen visual artists, a special commission of two over-sized ‘titeres’ - La Catrina y El Viejito - by expert puppet-makers for the procession, the doubling of its thematic community-based art workshops, an interactive art installation photo op area, and a new curated Mercadito de Arte vendor area.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Should the City Council approve the request as submitted, an appropriation of $15,000 from Undesignated General Fund Reserves will be required to allow for sponsorship award in the requested amount of $15,000. If approved the appropriation will be made to the event from the General Fund.

STAFF REPORT
10/25/2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Anahi Fernandez, Management Analyst
SUBJECT: Standard Conditions of Approval for Monopole Wireless Telecommunication Facilities
Staff Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023-70, adopting the Standard Conditions of Approval for Monopole Wireless Telecommunication Facilities.

Background:

On March 13, 2023, the Planning Commission received a status report on the eleven (11) approved wireless telecommunication facilities in the City. The report identified a total of eight (8) facilities as out of compliance with their Conditional Use Permit (CUP) conditions of approval. The Planning Commission received two additional updates on July 5, 2023 and October 4, 2023 on the status of the facilities that were found out of compliance. A total of six (6) wireless telecommunication facilities are now in compliance and two (2) remain out of compliance. The Planning Commission decided not to recommend revocation proceedings for operators out of compliance due to the report of their ongoing compliance efforts. The provider responsible for the two facilities continues to work towards compliance. As a result of the observed compliance issues, the Planning Commission advised staff to draft a list of standard conditions of approval for wireless monopole facilities in the City that will improve the quality of future facilities. On October 4, 2023, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution PC2023-26, recommending that the City Council adopt the standard conditions for wireless telecommunication facilities with modifications incorporated within Council Resolution No. 2023-70 to address aesthetic concerns.

Discussion/Analysis:

The list of standard conditions of approval for wireless towers in the City will be applied to improve the quality of future facilities. The standard conditions address maintenance, visual aesthetics, and they help protect the public health, safety, general welfare, and quality of life in the City.

Item 16.

ALTERNATIVES:
1) Adopt Resolution No. 2023-70 approving standard conditions for wireless telecommunications facilities.
2) Adopt Resolution No. 2023-70 approving standard conditions for wireless telecommunications facilities with modifications.
3) Deny Resolution No. 2023-70 denying standard conditions for wireless telecommunications facilities.
4) Continue this item and provide staff and the applicant with direction.

RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVE(S):

Staff recommends alternative #1.

STAFF REPORT
10/25/2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Gabriel Perez, Development Services Director
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 2023-66 to Support the proposed Chuckwalla National Monument and expansion of Joshua Tree National Park.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council

1. Adopt Resolution No. 2023-66 in support of the establishment of the proposed Chuckwalla National Monument and expansion of Joshua Tree National Park and urging that the monument provide meaningful and direct access from the City of Coachella.

BACKGROUND:

A coalition of local non-profits and other organizations (The Protect California Deserts Campaign) is working to gain the support of U.S. Congressman Raul Ruiz, M.D., Senators Butler and Padilla, and the Biden Administration on a proposal to conserve federal public lands in Riverside and Imperial Counties for present and future generations to enjoy. The proposal would designate a new Chuckwalla National Monument that would border the southern edge of Joshua Tree National Park and permanently protect recreational access to popular places like the Mecca Hills and Orocopia Mountains. The proposed protections would honor and recognize the cultural histories of Indigenous peoples, enhance access to world-class nature for local residents and visitors, protect fragile desert wildlife by providing connectivity between existing protected lands, and help boost local economies.

National monuments can be established in two ways: through federal legislation or, more commonly, through presidential use of the Antiquities Act. Given current gridlock in Congress, the coalition is pursuing the latter option and seeks to work closely with Congressman Ruiz and California senators to advocate with the Biden Administration. Staff is recommending that the City Council approve a resolution supporting the designation of the proposed Chuckwalla National Monument and expansion of Joshua Tree National Park, and directing staff to forward the resolution to President Biden, Representative Ruiz, Senator Feinstein, and Senator Padilla.

Item 17.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The proposal would protect special deserts, mountains, and woodlands spanning from the eastern Coachella Valley almost to the Colorado River (see attached map). The new monument would safeguard World War II historical sites, the Bradshaw Trail and other designated routes, cultural landscapes, and vital habitats for a diverse array of species, including chuckwalla, desert bighorn sheep, and desert tortoise. The proposal also includes an expansion to Joshua Tree National Park.

To highlight key elements, the proposal would:
 Establish a Chuckwalla National Monument stretching from the Mecca Hills and Dos Palmas in the west to approximately 10 miles west of the Arizona border in Riverside and Imperial Counties; this would include protection for a wide array of cultural, historic and natural resources
 Expand Joshua Tree National Park in the Eagle Mountain area;  Require an inter-agency study of recreation needs on public lands in the region; especially under-resourced but popular day-use sites;
 Honor the homelands of the Cahuilla, Chemehuevi, Mojave, Quechan, and Serrano peoples;
The proposed Chuckwalla National Monument and other protections would only apply to federal public lands. Such a designation would not affect existing lawful use of private property. Rights of way, utility corridors and infrastructure would not be impacted. The proposed Joshua Tree National Park expansion includes only those lands identified in a 2016 assessment by the National Park Service for inclusion in the Park. The expansion would cover only Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands in the area, not privately-owned lands. It also would not affect a proposed pump storage project and other existing or proposed activities on private lands.

The proposed protection of public lands is compatible with and complimentary to both the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP) and the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan (DRECP).

It’s important to note that the draft Chuckwalla National Monument boundary does not exactly match the CVMSHCP conservation area boundaries. While the goals of the proposed national monument and the CVMSHCP are compatible, some variation is expected. The previously designated national monuments in the region which overlap with the CVMSHCP, the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument and the Sand to Snow National Monument, provide opportunities for ongoing collaboration and cooperative management. Like other national monuments in the region, the national monument designation would ultimately involve development of a management plan for the public lands with significant collaboration with local, state, and federal partners and input from the public.

The proposal was also crafted to be complimentary to the goals of the DRECP. All areas prioritized for renewable energy development were purposefully excluded from the proposed national monument boundaries.

National Monuments generally permit existing recreational uses to continue and in fact provide a better experience for users with increased signage for improved access and interpretation. OHV use is permissible within national monuments on legal routes and within designated areas.

Item 17.

The draft proposal will benefit Riverside and Imperial Counties in several ways, including:
 Protecting crucial plant and wildlife habitat and migration corridors.  Safeguarding indigenous sites, landscapes of importance, and other significant cultural resources.
 Protecting important historic sites and landscapes.
 Enhancing equitable and sustainable recreation access to federal public lands.  Boosting local economies by attracting visitors (see attachment on economic benefits)  Promoting tourism and recreation which are an essential part of the desert region’s economy.

The National Monument designation would preserve and enhance the extensive recreational and environmental education opportunities in this spectacular landscape. Monument designation would attract outdoor recreation enthusiasts, translating into dollars for the local economies of the Coachella Valley, Palo Verde Valley and surrounding communities.

Monument Access from City of Coachella
All the lands within this proposal are within the new 25th Congressional District, which is represented by Congressman Ruiz. The coalition of organizations supporting the Protect California Deserts proposal is currently reaching out to local elected officials, community leaders and stakeholders to solicit their input and support. Local supporters include Friends of the Desert Mountains, California Audubon, Cactus to Clouds, COFEM, the Sierra Club, Mojave Desert Land Trust, Native American Land Conservancy, Wildlands Conservancy, and National Parks Conservation Association among several others.

The map of the Monument as proposed today would be outside the current boundaries of the City of Coachella, but within the Coachella General Plan Planning Area which is a boundary where the City has planned for future growth. The Monument proposal would be consistent with the City’s General Plan goals which include:
 Sustainability and Natural Environment Element Policy 13.13 which calls for the creation of nature access and working with County Tribal Governments and other recreation and open space districts to create desert preserves with hiking trails, nature observing areas and picnic areas.
 Sustainability and Natural Environment Element Policy 13.16 encourages parks and trails to be designed to conserve scenic and natural features and encourage public awareness of Coachella’s unique geography.

The Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monuments are within the boundaries of the cities of La Quinta, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Indians Wells, Cathedral City and Palm Springs and offer recreational opportunities for visitors including hiking and camping. Many of these cities boast their locations as destinations to access these recreational opportunities, which also include increased economic benefits. The City of Coachella currently has no authorized nature trails within the City and is unable to offer this benefit to residents and visitors. Much of the land within the Planning Area east of the existing Coachella boundary is owned by the Coachella Valley

Item 17.

Conservation Commission or the Bureau of Land Management and would remain in conservation (Attachment 2).

Staff recommends the City Council support the Protect California Deserts proposal and the designation of the Chuckwalla National Monument with the added request that proposal include meaningful and direct access be provided to the Monument from the boundaries of the City of Coachella. Direct and meaningful access may require an expansion of the proposed boundary, which could be provided from the approved La Entrada Specific Plan development.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact of the proposed monuments would be positive if the City were to have direct access to the proposed Chuckwalla National Monument from the City Boundary. Many Coachella Valley cities publicize access to these natural amenities from their cities to drive tourism which result in increased revenues for local businesses and hotels.

DESERTS REGION

DESERT CONSERVATION CONFERS ECONOMIC
BENEFITS. IT’S MORE THAN SAVING BEAUTIFUL PLACES.

Monument designation has a positive and statistically significant average increase of approximately 10% on the total number of establishments [businesses] and 8.5% on the total number of jobs in Zip Code Tabulation Areas within 25 km of the 14 Mountain West designated national monuments analyzed across a 25-year time period.

ECONOMIC

BENEFITS
The Economic Link Between
Conserved Lands and Local
Communities
Studies have demonstrated an
association between conservation of
public lands and a significant boon to
surrounding local economies.

Tourism: Economic Driver in the
Desert
The California Desert region is
experiencing a rapid escalation in
tourist enthusiasm and visitation that
has driven revenue for local
economies.

Jobs and Desert Visitation
Tourism is an industry, and as desert
visitation rapidly expands, so too has
job creation and business opportunities
for local residents who support related
sectors such as business, finance,
construction, and health.

Per capita income in
western nonmetropolitan
counties [100,000 acres
of protected lands] was
on average $4,360
higher [in 2010; $5,319
in 2022] than per capita
income in similar
counties with no
protected lands.

Item 17.
2 SUMMARY POINTS: ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF DESERT CONSERVATION • In a 2020 study published by the Washington D.C. based think tank Resources for the Future, authors reviewed data across 8 states in the Mountain West to estimate the economic impacts of 14 monument designations over a 25-year period. They concluded that monuments resulted in greater average number of establishments and jobs in proximity to monuments; increased average establishment growth rate; and had no effect on mining and other industries that use public lands.
• The National Park Service 2020 Report on NPS Visits, Spending, and Economic Contributions to Local Economies noted that for Joshua Tree National Park, visitation of 2,399,542 guests conveyed $121,857,000 spent in local economies; 1,512 jobs; and $60,065,000 in labor income consisting of employee wages, salaries and payroll benefits, as well as the incomes of proprietors that are supported by NPS visitor spending. • Visit California’s Economic Impact of Travel report for 2021 indicated Local Tax Revenue of $293,000 for the state’s Desert Region, supporting community benefits such as safety, fire, recreation, and library services. • Joshua Tree National Park and other desert public lands have experienced a dramatic increase in visitation across the last decade as the public has enthusiastically discovered our desert region. For instance, between 2011 and 2021, visitation at JTNP increased from 1,396,237 to 3,064,000 – a 119% increase. • A 2014 report [ECONorthwest] noted economic contributions of Quiet Recreation Visits within 50 miles of recreation sites on BLM-managed lands within California. Total Direct Spending was $243,938,853. In inflation-adjusted dollars for 2022, that amount today would be $305,182,203.
• Tourists to Imperial County generate an estimated $347.6 million (2016; $428.9 million adjusted for 2022) in the County and support more than 4,700 direct jobs, about 7 percent of total employment in the County.
