Service Level Agreement
I. Agreement Overview
This SLA operates in conjunction with, and does not supersede or replace any part of, the Agreement. It outlines the information technology service levels that we will provide to you to ensure the availability of the application services that you have requested us to provide. This SLA does not apply to any Third Party SaaS Services. All other support services are documented in the Support Call Process.

II. Definitions. Except as defined below, all defined terms have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.

Actual Attainment: The percentage of time the Tyler Software is available during a calendar quarter, calculated as follows: (Service Availability – Downtime) ÷ Service Availability.

Client Error Incident: Any service unavailability resulting from your applications, content or equipment, or the acts or omissions of any of your service users or third-party providers over whom we exercise no control.

Downtime: Those minutes during Service Availability, as defined below, when all users cannot launch, login, search or save primary data in the Tyler Software. Downtime does not include those instances in which only a Defect is present.

Emergency Maintenance: (1) maintenance that is required to patch a critical security vulnerability; (2) maintenance that is required to prevent an imminent outage of Service Availability; or (3) maintenance that is mutually agreed upon in writing by Tyler and the Client.

Planned Downtime: Downtime that occurs during a Standard or Emergency Maintenance window.

Service Availability: The total number of minutes in a calendar quarter that the Tyler Software is capable of receiving, processing, and responding to requests, excluding Planned Downtime, Client Error Incidents, denial of service attacks and Force Majeure.

Standard Maintenance: Routine maintenance to the Tyler Software and infrastructure. Standard Maintenance is limited to five (5) hours per week.

III. Service Availability
a. Your Responsibilities
Whenever you experience Downtime, you must make a support call according to the procedures outlined in the Support Call Process. You will receive a support case number. b. Our Responsibilities
When our support team receives a call from you that Downtime has occurred or is occurring, we will work with you to identify the cause of the Downtime (including whether it may be the result of Planned

Page 263 ends

Item 17.

Exhibit C
2 Downtime, a Client Error Incident, Denial of Service attack or Force Majeure). We will also work with you to resume normal operations.
c. Client Relief
Our targeted Attainment Goal is 100%. You may be entitled to credits as indicated in the Client Relief Schedule found below. Your relief credit is calculated as a percentage of the SaaS fees paid for the calendar quarter.

In order to receive relief credits, you must submit a request through one of the channels listed in our Support Call Process within fifteen days (15) of the end of the applicable quarter. We will respond to your relief request within thirty (30) day(s) of receipt.

The total credits confirmed by us will be applied to the SaaS Fee for the next billing cycle. Issuing of such credit does not relieve us of our obligations under the Agreement to correct the problem which created the service interruption.

IV. Maintenance Notifications
We perform Standard Maintenance during limited windows that are historically known to be reliably low-traffic times. If and when maintenance is predicted to occur during periods of higher traffic, we will provide advance notice of those windows and will coordinate to the greatest extent possible with you.

Not all maintenance activities will cause application unavailability. However, if Tyler anticipates that activities during a Standard or Emergency Maintenance window may make the Tyler Software unavailable, we will provide advance notice, as reasonably practicable that the Tyler Software will be unavailable during the maintenance window.

Support Call Process
Support Channels
Tyler Technologies, Inc. provides the following channels of software support for authorized users*:
(1) On-line submission (portal) – for less urgent and functionality-based questions, users may create support incidents through the Tyler Customer Portal available at the Tyler Technologies website.

A built-in Answer Panel provides users with resolutions to most “how-to” and configurationbased questions through a simplified search interface with machine learning, potentially eliminating the need to submit the support case.
(2) Email – for less urgent situations, users may submit emails directly to the software support group.
(3) Telephone – for urgent or complex questions, users receive toll-free, telephone software support.
* Channel availability may be limited for certain applications.

Support Resources
A number of additional resources are available to provide a comprehensive and complete support experience:
(1) Tyler Website – www.tylertech.com – for accessing client tools, documentation, and other information including support contact information.
(2) Tyler Search -a knowledge based search engine that lets you search multiple sources simultaneously to find the answers you need, 24x7.
(3) Tyler Community –provides a venue for all Tyler clients with current maintenance agreements to collaborate with one another, share best practices and resources, and access documentation. (4) Tyler University – online training courses on Tyler products.

Support Availability
Tyler Technologies support is available during the local business hours of 8 AM to 5 PM (Monday – Friday) across four US time zones (Pacific, Mountain, Central and Eastern). Tyler’s holiday schedule is outlined below. There will be no support coverage on these days.

New Year’s Day Labor Day
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Thanksgiving Day
Memorial Day Day after Thanksgiving

For support teams that provide after-hours service, we will provide you with procedures for contacting support staff after normal business hours for reporting Priority Level 1 Defects only. Upon receipt of

Page 265 ends

Item 17.

Exhibit C
Schedule 1
2 such a Defect notification, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the resolution targets set forth below.

We will also make commercially reasonable efforts to be available for one pre-scheduled Saturday of each month to assist your IT staff with applying patches and release upgrades, as well as consulting with them on server maintenance and configuration of the Tyler Software environment.

Incident Handling
Incident Tracking
Every support incident is logged into Tyler’s Customer Relationship Management System and given a unique case number. This system tracks the history of each incident. The case number is used to track and reference open issues when clients contact support. Clients may track incidents, using the case number, through Tyler’s Customer Portal or by calling software support directly.

Incident Priority
Each incident is assigned a priority level, which corresponds to the Client’s needs. Tyler and the Client will reasonably set the priority of the incident per the chart below. This chart is not intended to address every type of support incident, and certain “characteristics” may or may not apply depending on whether the Tyler software has been deployed on customer infrastructure or the Tyler cloud. The goal is to help guide the Client towards clearly understanding and communicating the importance of the issue and to describe generally expected response and resolution targets in the production environment only.

References to a “confirmed support incident” mean that Tyler and the Client have successfully validated the reported Defect/support incident.

Priority
Level Characteristics of Support Incident Resolution Targets* 1 Critical
Support incident that causes (a)
complete application failure or
application unavailability; (b)
application failure or unavailability in
one or more of the client’s remote
location; or (c) systemic loss of

Support incident that causes failure of
non-essential functionality or a
cosmetic or other issue that does not
qualify as any other Priority Level.

Tyler shall provide an initial response to Priority Level 4 incidents within two (2) business days of receipt of
the incident. Once the incident has been confirmed,
Tyler shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
resolve such support incidents, as well as cosmetic
issues, with a future version release.
*Response and Resolution Targets may differ by product or business need Incident Escalation
If Tyler is unable to resolve any priority level 1 or 2 defect as listed above or the priority of an issue has elevated since initiation, you may escalate the incident to the appropriate resource, as outlined by each product support team. The corresponding resource will meet with you and any Tyler staff to establish a mutually agreeable plan for addressing the defect.

Remote Support Tool
Some support calls may require further analysis of the Client’s database, processes or setup to diagnose a problem or to assist with a question. Tyler will, at its discretion, use an industry-standard remote support tool. Tyler’s support team must have the ability to quickly connect to the Client’s system and view the site’s setup, diagnose problems, or assist with screen navigation. More information about the remote support tool Tyler uses is available upon request.

Part 1: Executive Summary
Project Overview
Introduction
Tyler Technologies (“Tyler”) is the largest and most established provider of integrated software and technology services focused solely on the public sector. Tyler’s end-to-end solutions empower public sector entities including local, state, provincial and federal government, to operate more efficiently and connect more transparently with their constituents and with each other. By connecting data and processes across disparate systems, Tyler’s solutions transform how clients gain actionable insights that solve problems in their communities.

Project Goals
This Statement of Work (“SOW”) documents the methodology, implementation stages, activities, and roles and responsibilities, and project scope listed in the Investment Summary of the Agreement between Tyler and the City (collectively the “Project”).

The overall goals of the project are to:
▪ Successfully implement the contracted scope on time and on budget ▪ Increase operational efficiencies and empower users to be more productive ▪ Improve accessibility and responsiveness to external and internal customer needs ▪ Overcome current challenges and meet future goals
Methodology
This is accomplished by the City and Tyler working as a partnership and Tyler utilizing its depth of implementation experience. While each Project is unique, all will follow Tyler’s six-stage methodology. Each of the six stages is comprised of multiple work packages, and each work package includes a narrative description, objectives, tasks, inputs, outputs/deliverables, assumptions, and a responsibility matrix.

Tailored specifically for Tyler’s public sector clients, the project methodology contains Stage Acceptance Control Points throughout each Phase to ensure adherence to scope, budget, timeline controls, effective communications, and quality standards. Clearly defined, the project methodology repeats consistently across Phases, and is scaled to meet the City’s complexity and organizational needs.

Page 281 ends

Item 17.

Coachella, CA
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 2
The methodology adapts to both single-phase and multiple-phase projects.

To achieve Project success, it is imperative that both the City and Tyler commit to including the necessary leadership and governance. During each stage of the Project, it is expected that the City and Tyler Project teams work collaboratively to complete tasks. An underlying principle of Tyler’s Implementation process is to employ an iterative model where the City’s business processes are assessed, configured, validated, and refined cyclically in line with the project budget. This approach is used in multiple stages and work packages as illustrated in the graphic below.

The delivery approach is systematic, which reduces variability and mitigates risks to ensure Project success. As illustrated, some stages, along with work packages and tasks, are intended to be overlapping by nature to complete the Project efficiently and effectively.

Part 2: Project Foundation
Project Governance
Project governance is the management framework within which Project decisions are made. The role of Project governance is to provide a decision-making approach that is logical, robust, and repeatable. This allows organizations to have a structured approach for conducting its daily business in addition to project related activities.

This section outlines the resources required to meet the business needs, objectives, and priorities for the Project, communicate the goals to other Project participants, and provide support and guidance to accomplish these goals. Project governance defines the structure for escalation of issues and risks, Change Control review and authority, and Organizational Change Management activities. Throughout the Statement of Work Tyler has provided RACI Matrices for activities to be completed throughout the implementation which will further outline responsibilities of different roles in each stage. Further refinement of the governance structure, related processes, and specific roles and responsibilities occurs during the Initiate & Plan Stage.

The chart below illustrates an overall team perspective where Tyler and the City collaborate to resolve Project challenges according to defined escalation paths. If project managers do not possess authority to determine a solution, resolve an issue, or mitigate a risk, Tyler implementation management and the City Steering Committee become the escalation points to triage responses prior to escalation to the City and Tyler executive sponsors. As part of the escalation process, each Project governance tier presents recommendations and supporting information to facilitate knowledge transfer and issue resolution. The City and Tyler executive sponsors serve as the final escalation point.

Project Scope Control
Managing Scope and Project Change
Project Management governance principles contend that there are three connected constraints on a Project:
budget, timeline, and scope. These constraints, known as the “triple constraints” or project management triangle, define budget in terms of financial cost, labor costs, and other resource costs. Scope is defined as the work performed to deliver a product, service or result with the specified features and functions, while time is simply defined as the schedule. The Triple Constraint theory states that if you change one side of the triangle, the other two sides must be correspondingly adjusted. For example, if the scope of the Project is increased, cost and time to complete will also need to increase. The Project and executive teams will need to remain cognizant of these constraints when making impactful decisions to the Project. A simple illustration of this triangle is included here, showing the connection of each item and their relational impact to the overall Scope.

A pillar of any successful project is the ability to properly manage scope while allowing the appropriate level of flexibility to incorporate approved changes. Scope and changes within the project will be managed using the change control process outlined in the following section.

Change Control
It may become necessary to change the scope of this Project due to unforeseeable circumstances (e.g., new constraints or opportunities are discovered). This Project is being undertaken with the understanding that Project scope, schedule, and/or cost may need to change to produce optimal results for stakeholders.

Changes to contractual requirements will follow the change control process specified in the final contract, and as described below.

Change Request Management
Should the need for a change to Project scope, schedule, and/or cost be identified during the Project, the change will be brought to the attention of the Steering Committee and an assessment of the change will occur. While such changes may result in additional costs and delays relative to the schedule, some changes may result in less cost to the City; for example, the City may decide it no longer needs a deliverable originally defined in the Project. The Change Request will include the following information:

Page 284 ends

Item 17.

Coachella, CA
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 5
▪ The nature of the change.
▪ A good faith estimate of the additional cost or associated savings to the City, if any. ▪ The timetable for implementing the change.
▪ The effect on and/or risk to the schedule, resource needs or resource responsibilities.

The City will use its good faith efforts to either approve or disapprove any Change Request within ten (10) Business Days (or other period as mutually agreeable between Tyler and the City). Any changes to the Project scope, budget, or timeline must be documented and approved in writing using a Change Request form. These changes constitute a formal amendment to the Statement of Work and will supersede any conflicting term in the Statement of Work.

Page 285 ends

Item 17.

Acceptance Process
The implementation of a Project involves many decisions to be made throughout its lifecycle. Decisions will vary from higher level strategy decisions to smaller, detailed Project level decisions. It is critical to the success of the Project that each City office or department designates specific individuals for making decisions on behalf of their offices or departments.

Both Tyler and the City will identify representative project managers. These individuals will represent the interests of all stakeholders and serve as the primary contacts between the two organizations.

The coordination of gaining City feedback and approval on Project deliverables will be critical to the success of the Project. The City project manager will strive to gain deliverable and decision approvals from all authorized City representatives. Given that the designated decision-maker for each department may not always be available, there must be a designated proxy for each decision point in the Project. Assignment of each proxy will be the responsibility of the leadership from each City department. The proxies will be named individuals that have the authorization to make decisions on behalf of their department.

The following process will be used for accepting Deliverables and Control Points:
▪ The City shall have five (5) business days from the date of delivery, or as otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing, to accept each Deliverable or Control Point. If the City does not provide acceptance or acknowledgement within five (5) business days, or the otherwise agreed upon timeframe, not to be unreasonably withheld, Tyler deems the Deliverable or Control Point as accepted.
▪ If the City does not agree the Deliverable or Control Point meets requirements, the City shall notify Tyler project manager(s), in writing, with reasoning within five (5) business days, or the otherwise agreed-upon timeframe, not to be unreasonably withheld, of receipt of the Deliverable. ▪ Tyler shall address any deficiencies and redeliver the Deliverable or Control Point. The City shall then have two (2) business days from receipt of the redelivered Deliverable or Control Point to accept or again submit written notification of reasons for rejecting the milestone. If the City does not provide acceptance within two (2) business days, or the otherwise agreed upon timeframe, not to be unreasonably withheld, Tyler deems the Deliverable or Control Point as accepted.

Roles and Responsibilities
The following defines the roles and responsibilities of each Project resource for the City and Tyler. Roles and responsibilities may not follow the organizational chart or position descriptions at the City, but are roles defined within the Project. It is common for individual resources on both the Tyler and City project teams to fill multiple roles. Similarly, it is common for some roles to be filled by multiple people.

Tyler Roles & Responsibilities
Tyler assigns a project manager prior to the start of each Phase of the Project (some Projects may only be one Phase in duration). Additional Tyler resources are assigned as the schedule develops and as needs arise.

Current & Future State Analysis
The Current & Future State Analysis provides the Project stakeholders and Tyler an understanding of process changes that will be achieved with the new system.

The City and Tyler will evaluate current state processes, options within the new software, pros and cons of each based on current or desired state and make decisions about the future state configuration and processing. This may occur before or within the same timeframe as the configuration work package. The options within the new software will be limited to the scope of this implementation and will make use of standard Tyler functionality.

The City will adopt the existing Tyler solution wherever possible to avoid project schedule and quality risk from over customization of Tyler products. It is the City’s responsibility to verify that in-scope requirements are being met throughout the implementation if functional requirements are defined as part of the contract.

The following guidelines will be followed when evaluating if a modification to the product is required:
▪ A reasonable business process change is available.
▪ Functionality exists which satisfies the requirement. ▪ Configuration of the application satisfies the requirement. ▪ An in-scope modification satisfies the requirement.

Requirements that are not met will follow the agreed upon change control process and can have impacts on the project schedule, scope, budget, and resource availability.

General Assumptions
Tyler and the City will use this SOW as a guide for managing the implementation of the Tyler Project as provided and described in the Agreement. There are a few assumptions which, when acknowledged and adhered to, will support a successful implementation. Assumptions related to specific work packages are documented throughout the SOW. Included here are general assumptions which should be considered throughout the overall implementation process.

Project
▪ Project activities will begin after the Agreement has been fully executed. ▪ The City Project Team will complete their necessary assignments in a mutually agreed upon timeframe to meet the scheduled go-live date, as outlined in the Project Schedule. ▪ Sessions will be scheduled and conducted at a mutually agreeable time. ▪ Additional services, software modules and modifications not described in the SOW or Agreement will be considered a change to this Project and will require a Change Request Form as previously referenced in the definition of the Change Control Process. ▪ Tyler will provide a written agenda and notice of any prerequisites to the City project manager(s) ten (10) business days or as otherwise mutually agreed upon time frame prior to any scheduled on-site or remote sessions, as applicable.
▪ Tyler will provide guidance for configuration and processing options available within the Tyler software. If multiple options are presented by Tyler, the City is responsible for making decisions based on the options available.
▪ Implementation of new software may require changes to existing processes, both business and technical, requiring the City to make process changes.

Page 320 ends

Item 17.

Coachella, CA
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 41
▪ The City is responsible for defining, documenting, and implementing their policies that result from any business process changes.

Organizational Change Management
Unless otherwise contracted by Tyler, City is responsible for managing Organizational Change. Impacted City resources will need consistent coaching and reassurance from their leadership team to embrace and accept the changes being imposed by the move to new software. An important part of change is ensuring that impacted City resources understand the value of the change, and why they are being asked to change.

Resources and Scheduling
▪ City resources will participate in scheduled activities as assigned in the Project Schedule. ▪ The City team will complete prerequisites prior to applicable scheduled activities. Failure to do so may affect the schedule.
▪ Tyler and the City will provide resources to support the efforts to complete the Project as scheduled and within the constraints of the Project budget.
▪ Abbreviated timelines and overlapped Phases require sufficient resources to complete all required work as scheduled.
▪ Changes to the Project Schedule, availability of resources or changes in Scope will be requested through a Change Request. Impacts to the triple constraints (scope, budget, and schedule) will be assessed and documented as part of the change control process. ▪ The City will ensure assigned resources will follow the change control process and possess the required business knowledge to complete their assigned tasks successfully. Should there be a change in resources, the replacement resource should have a comparable level of availability, change control process buy-in, and knowledge.
▪ The City makes timely Project related decisions to achieve scheduled due dates on tasks and prepare for subsequent training sessions. Failure to do so may affect the schedule, as each analysis and implementation session is dependent on the decisions made in prior sessions. ▪ The City will respond to information requests in a comprehensive and timely manner, in accordance with the Project Schedule.
▪ The City will provide adequate meeting space or facilities, including appropriate system connectivity, to the project teams including Tyler team members.
▪ For on-site visits, Tyler will identify a travel schedule that balances the needs of the project and the employee.

Data
▪ Data will be converted as provided and Tyler will not create data that does not exist. ▪ The City is responsible for the quality of legacy data and for cleaning or scrubbing erroneous legacy data.
▪ Tyler will work closely with the City representatives to identify business rules before writing the conversion. The City must confirm that all known data mapping from source to target have been identified and documented before Tyler writes the conversion. ▪ All in-scope source data is in data extract(s).
▪ Each legacy system data file submitted for conversion includes all associated records in a single approved file layout.

Page 321 ends

Item 17.

Coachella, CA
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 42
▪ The City will provide the legacy system data extract in the same format for each iteration unless changes are mutually agreed upon in advance. If not, negative impacts to the schedule, budget and resource availability may occur and/or data in the new system may be incorrect. ▪ The City Project Team is responsible for reviewing the converted data and reporting issues during each iteration, with assistance from Tyler.
▪ The City is responsible for providing or entering test data (e.g., data for training, testing interfaces, etc.)
Facilities
▪ The City will provide dedicated space for Tyler staff to work with City resources for both on-site and remote sessions. If Phases overlap, City will provide multiple training facilities to allow for independent sessions scheduling without conflict.
▪ The City will provide staff with a location to practice what they have learned without distraction.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council consider awarding a Community-Based Grant (CBG) Líderes Campesinas in the amount of $5,000.00 to help offset travel expenses associated with their upcoming three-day event, Líderes Campesinas Convening at the State Capitol from April 19-22, 2024.

BACKGROUND:

The Community Based Grant Program was established in 2010 and allows the City of Coachella to offer financial assistance to local nonprofit organizations, youth-serving organizations, and other community-based organizations that provide essential services, programs and activities to residents in Coachella. Applicant organizations are only eligible to submit one application for consideration each fiscal year and must be legally established with non-profit or tax-exempt status, be based in the Coachella Valley, or provide direct service to Coachella residents. Approval of grant funds does not constitute a precedent for grant allocations in subsequent years. All CBG grants are reimbursement grants to ensure that applicants are meeting their stated goals. The FY 23-24 budget included an allocation of $15,000 for the Community Based Grant Program.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Líderes Campesinas is a nonprofit organization based in the city of Coachella, with a statewide network of 16 farm working communities, specializing in grassroots mobilization to create healthier working conditions, safer environments, and engage women leaders in farmworker communities. Líderes Campesinas is requesting sponsorship support to help offset travel expenses associated with their special event titled, Líderes Campesinas Convening, which takes place April 19-22, 2024.

Proposal for City Support - FARMCHELLA 2024
Dear City of Coachella,
I am writing to you on behalf of The Celebration Nation Foundation/Celebration Nation Inc, to request financial support from the City of Coachella for our second annual FARMCHELLA Festival. After the success of last year's event, we are eager to bring back FARMCHELLA to the community, this time with even more exciting activities and opportunities for engagement.

The FARMCHELLA Festival holds significant importance in the community as it recognizes and celebrates the important contributions of farm workers to our local, state and federal economy and culture. As importantly, it serves as a platform to bridge gaps and foster greater understanding and appreciation among diverse backgrounds during the week of Live Nation’s COACHELLA Festival.

Last year, we were able to offer FARMCHELLA to the community free of charge.

However, we recognize that there is still room for growth and improvement. With your continued support, we aim to make this year's festival bigger and brighter, attracting an even larger audience and providing an even more meaningful experience for attendees.

Page 344 ends

Item 19.

Our proposed grant request of $30,000 for the festival includes funding for event essentials, a broad range of entertainment and activities, such as live music performances, cultural dance showcases, interactive workshops on agriculture and sustainability, a farmers' market showcasing free local produce, and expanded children's activities.

In addition to celebrating the contributions of farm workers, we also intend to use the festival as a platform to address important issues facing the agricultural industry, such as labor rights, fair wages, immigration reform, and environmental sustainability.

Through educational activities and an opening panel discussion, we hope to raise awareness and inspire action within our community.

By partnering with the City of Coachella, we believe we can maximize the impact of the festival and ensure its success for years to come. We are committed to working closely with city officials to ensure that all necessary permits and regulations are adhered to and that the festival is executed safely and responsibly.

In conclusion, we respectfully request financial support from the City of Coachella to bring back the FARMCHELLA Festival for its second year and make it a cornerstone of our community's cultural calendar. We are confident that with your assistance, we can create an unforgettable experience that celebrates our agricultural heritage and strengthens community bonds.

Thank you for considering our proposal. We look forward to the opportunity to discuss this further and collaborate with you to make this year's FARMCHELLA Festival a resounding success.

Saludos,
Flor Martinez Zaragoza
President /Celebration Nation Inc

COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR
FAÇADE IMPROVEMENT

GRANT PROGRAM GUIDELINES

Page 346 ends

Item 20.

Commercial Corridor Façade Improvement
Grant Program Guidelines

1. PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Commercial Façade Improvement Grant Program (“Program”) is an endeavor of the City of Coachella to leverage public funds and private investment to enhance the physical appearance and economic vitality of commercial businesses in the Downtown Pueblo Viejo District and the segment of Cesar Chavez Street between Avenue 52 and Sixth Street.

The Program offers two types of façade improvement grants, as well as up to a maximum of ten hours of architectural fees or five hours of design assistance to help cover design costs. The Program runs concurrent to the City’s fiscal year schedule (July 1 – June 30). The Program features open enrollment; applications shall be considered on a first‐come, first‐served basis.

The long‐term objective is to upgrade the Downtown Pueblo Viejo District and the segment of Cesar Chavez Street between Avenue 52 and Sixth Street by improving the physical appearance of the area, encouraging the retention of existing businesses, increasing property values, tenant stability, and lease rates for the property. The program also seeks to fund improvements which create outdoor dining or gathering spaces to promote activity in the downtown.

2. PROGRAM COMPONENTS
A. Architectural Design or Design Assistance
The City will provide architectural design services to approved applicants, up to a maximum of ten hours, for exterior commercial building façade improvements. The City will also reimburse applicants for the services of a professional designer (for paint/signage/awnings selection) for up to five hours.

B. Façade Improvement Grants
i. Mini‐Grant – This grant provides for reimbursement of up to Five Thousand dollars ($5,000) for commercial building façade improvements with no match requirement.

Projects must be completed within 12 months of grant approval or Building Permit issuance.
ii. Matching Grant – This grant will provide a reimbursable matching grant of two‐ thirds (66%) of eligible project costs, up to a maximum of One Hundred Thousand dollars ($100,000) The total cost of the improvement work must be more than Five Thousand dollars ($5,000). Receipt of a matching grant requires the approved applicant to contribute a minimum of one‐third of the total cost of the façade improvement costs. Projects must be completed within 18 months of Building Permit issuance.

Grant proceeds are to be used for labor and materials directly related to the façade construction. Tools may not be purchased with grant funds, but tool rental is allowable.

Program funds are to be used for exterior building improvements rather than simple routine maintenance.

Page 347 ends

Item 20.

All improvements completed through the Façade Improvement Program are “public work” as that term is used in Section 1720 of the California Labor Code. In accordance with Labor Code section 1720 et seq., prevailing wages shall be paid for all façade improvements. Use of volunteer labor is not allowed. All estimates and payments for construction and installation of façade improvements shall include prevailing wages, and shall otherwise comply with the provisions of Sections 1773.8, 1775, 1776, 1777.5, 1777.6 and 1813 of the California Labor Code and all other applicable laws and regulations with respect to prevailing wages. Participants in the program are responsible for ensuring that the improvements are in compliance with the Prevailing Wage Law.

Disbursement of grant proceeds to approved applicants will be in a reimbursement payment issued after City deems the project complete, and upon the submission of invoices and proof of payment and subject to approval of those invoices and proofs of payment by City staff. Construction shall be completed within 120 days after the City issued Notice to Proceed. If the project extends beyond the scheduled completion date, prior staff approval is required.

This program is primarily geared toward commercial property owners. However, business owners who have long‐term leases (five or more years) wishing to participate in the Façade Improvement Program may also apply. Applications for business owners will be reviewed on a case‐by‐case basis.

C. Fee Exemption
Applicants for this program are exempt from planning and building permit fees by the City Manager, who is authorized to waive City fees associated with this program. This fee exemption does not apply to fees mandated by the State of California including, but not limited to, the Strong Motion Instrument program fee and the California Green Building fees.

SUBJECT: Approve a Commercial Corridor Façade Improvement Grant Program in the Amount of One-Million Dollars ($1,000,000) from the General Fund to Beautify and Revitalize Commercial Properties Along Cesar Chavez Street Between Avenue 52 and Sixth Street
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council considers approving a Commercial Corridor Façade Improvement Grant Program in the amount of one-million dollars ($1,000,000) from the General Fund to beautify and revitalize commercial properties along Cesar Chavez Street between Avenue 52 and Sixth Street. This item was recommended for City Council consideration by the Economic Development and Planning Subcommittee at its meeting of February 8, 2024.

BACKGROUND:

The Commercial Façade Improvement Grant Program (“Program”) is an endeavor of the City of Coachella to leverage public funds and private investment to enhance the physical appearance and economic vitality of commercial businesses in the Downtown Pueblo Viejo Area and the segment of Cesar Chavez Street between Sixth Street and Avenue 52. The long‐term objective is to upgrade the Downtown Pueblo Viejo Area on Cesar Chavez Street between Sixth Street and Avenue 52 by improving the physical appearance of the area, encouraging the retention of existing businesses, increasing property values, tenant stability, and lease rates for the properties. The program also seeks to fund improvements which create outdoor dining or gathering spaces to promote activity in the downtown.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The City will provide architectural design services to approved applicants, up to a maximum of ten (10) hours, for exterior commercial building façade improvements. The City will also reimburse applicants for the services of a professional designer (for paint/signage/awnings selection) for up to five (5) hours.

STAFF REPORT
2/28/2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Dr. Gabriel D. Martin, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 2024-08 Authorizing the City of Coachella to Make a Funding Commitment in Support of the Blue Zones Project Riverside County Initiative Sponsored by Riverside University Health System and Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Funding Commitment Agreement in the Lump Sum Amount of $200,000
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council consider adopting Resolution No. 2024-08 authorizing the City of Coachella to make a funding commitment in support of the Blue Zones Project Riverside County Initiative sponsored by Riverside University Health System and authorize the City Manager to execute the Funding Commitment Agreement in the lump sum amount of $200,000.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Coachella is partnering with Riverside University Health System who will implement the Blue Zones in the city of Coachella. The Blue Zones initiative is a community-led, well-being improvement designed to help people make healthy choices easier through permanent changes to their lifestyles in Coachella and across Riverside County, California. The purpose of the Letter of Intent is to layout the proposed scope of Blue Zones work as well as the City of Coachella’s commitment related to Blue Zones’ comprehensive initiative that transforms the environments where people live, work, learn, and play to measurably improve community well-being, resilience and economic vitality.

Blue Zones has already conducted a Community Health Needs Assessment (Blue Zones Activate Phase I Readiness Assessment) within the City of Coachella which assessed and provided recommendations for community transformation to improve health and health outcomes. The services to be provided will include the following phases: Pre-Planning, In Market Community and Stakeholder Engagement, Well- Being and Blue Zones Impact Analysis, Readiness Evaluation Report and Proposal, and a Phase II Initial Blueprint, Proposal and Presentation.

Blue Zones is a pioneer in taking a systematic and environmental approach to improving the health of entire cities and communities. Its innovative approach is inspired by the world's longest-lived

cultures and helps communities live better, longer. Blue Zones Activate Phase I Readiness Assessment is a structured exploration of the community and is powered by collaboration to build a plan for change. Blue Zones experts will lead a process to evaluate and design a unique approach that includes well-being policy prioritization, health equity solutions, and workforce development.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Blue Zones proposes to be engaged to implement Blue Zones Project and Blue Zones Activate initiatives across five (5) selected communities within Riverside County, CA. The implementation begins with the Foundation phase for Blue Zones Projects, in which Blue Zones will develop a custom Blueprint for each community, followed by the Transformation phase where each custom Blueprint will be implemented in each community. Blue Zones Activate focuses on igniting transformations through systems change. The timeframes, fees and other details of each community initiative are set forth in the Blue Zones proposal(s). Blue Zones has committed to putting 25% of its fees “at risk” related to project performance and the achievement of key metrics and outcomes (to be mutually agreed by the parties) on all Blue Zones Project initiatives within the Riverside County Blue Zones Initiative, as further set forth in the proposal(s).

The work produced by Blue Zones will include a preliminary analysis including trends and opportunities for the identified areas. They will also provide an impact analysis on the projected medical spend, productivity and regional economic value from a prospective Blue Zones community transformation.

The City of Coachella will have the right to serve as one of the steering committee organizations in the Riverside County Blue Zones Initiative and advise on the development of the health improvement model for the transformation initiative in collaboration with participating community partners and additional sponsors. The City of Coachella shall have the opportunity to join community-specific implementation leadership councils and action committees. The City of Coachella will be acknowledged publicly as a sponsor of applicable Riverside County Blue Zones Initiative, including the use of Sponsor’s logo where appropriate.

ALTERNATIVES:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-08 Authorizing the City of Coachella to Make a Funding Commitment in Support of the Blue Zones Project Riverside County Initiative Sponsored by Riverside University Health System and Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Funding Commitment Agreement in the Lump Sum Amount of $200,000

2. Provide alternative direction
FISCAL IMPACT:

Blue Zones has committed to putting 25% of its fees “at risk” related to project performance and the achievement of key metrics and outcomes (to be mutually agreed by the parties) on all Blue Zones Project initiatives within the Riverside County Blue Zones Initiative, as further set forth in the proposal(s).

B. Funding Amount. The City of Coachella is willing to commit to funding the lump sum of $200,000 for the duration of the project (the “City of Coachella Funding Amount”), to support the City of Coachella which will be contingent upon Blue Zones receiving other community funding of the total project fees.

Payment schedule to be determined by the contracting entity.

C. Funder Role. The City of Coachella will have the right to serve as one of the steering committee organizations of City of Coachella in the Riverside County Blue Zones Initiative and advise on the development of the health improvement model for the transformation Initiative in collaboration with participating community partners and additional sponsors. The City of Coachella shall have the opportunity to join community-specific implementation leadership councils and action committees. The City of Coachella will be acknowledged publicly as a sponsor of applicable Riverside County Blue Zones Initiative, including the use of Sponsor’s logo where appropriate.

E. Publicity. Any public announcement regarding the parties’ relationship and the nature of this letter shall be coordinated between the parties and shall be in a form agreed upon by the parties.

Agriculture, outdoor recreation, art and culture, and a strong community spirit make Coachella unique.

Coachella is a diverse and vibrant city located in Riverside County, known for its natural beauty and agricultural history.

The city is surrounded by a stunning landscape, including the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains, the Salton Sea, and several national parks and wilderness areas. This makes the city a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, with opportunities for hiking, camping, golfing, and more.

Home to some of the world’s most productive agricultural areas, Coachella is a major producer of citrus, grapes, bell peppers, and 95% of the nation’s dates. Coachella has a diverse population, with 97% of the population being of Latino decent.

This is reflected in the city’s vibrant arts and culture scene, and events like the Mariachi Festival and the Día de los Muertos celebration. The city has invested in public infrastructure and parks, providing residents with a strong sense of place and a variety of community gathering places. Coachella’s unique blend of culture, history, natural beauty, and economic vitality make it a special place to live.

However, like many cities, Coachella also faces challenges such as high rates of food insecurity, financial stress, lack of affordable housing, and limited access to healthy food and healthcare. These challenges mean Coachella is plagued by the same U.S. well-being trends that threaten the health and prosperity of many Americans. According to Gallup, 1 in 2 are struggling with their health, 3 in 4 are obese or overweight, and 3 in 5 experience regular financial stress.

These well-being shortcomings are not only causing needless suffering for the people in Coachella, they are also costing countless billions in lost productivity, absenteeism, and healthcare costs. We estimate that over the next ten years, Riverside County could save about $139 million with a
coordinated comprehensive effort.

Blue Zones brought a team of experts
together during the assessment period,
where we investigated conditions, talked to
local stakeholders, ran focus groups across
sectors, and dove deeply into data. To truly
understand the community and its strengths
and challenges, we try to understand it from
as many angles as we can - from a bird’s
eye view to a data-centric view to close
conversations with residents and neighbors.

This process was the foundation for our
community transformation plan centered
around the Blue Zones philosophy of
making healthy choices easier for everyone
living in Coachella.

The city is plagued by the same U.S. trends that threaten the health and prosperity of many Americans.

According
to Gallup:
1 in 2 Coachella
residents are
struggling with their
health
2 in 5 report they
are not proud of
their community
3 in 5 are experiencing
regular financial stress
For the people of Coachella, everyone needs better
access to the things that measurably improve
well-being, including healthy food, transportation
options, jobs, education, and safe places to gather
with others. Everyone gains from creating a resilient,
prosperous city where all residents have equitable
access to opportunities and can contribute to the
larger community and economy.

The people of Coachella and organizations like the
Riverside University Health System are ready to
jumpstart community transformation. A long-term,
regional collective vision is foundational for success, and will allow the people and organizations working
together to leverage and amplify each other’s
efforts over time.

Blue Zones help communities optimize their human-made surroundings so the healthy choice is not only the easy choice, but at times the unavoidable choice in the places and spaces people spend the most time. We achieve this by improving:

Policy
We’ve aggregated evidence-based policy “menus” that favor healthy food over junk food, walkability over increased traffic, the non-smoker over smokers, and a “sweetspot” for alcohol consumption that allows for a vibrant community with a minimum of misuse. Then, we help the city drive consensus around most feasible and effective policies. Finally, we ensure that the chosen policies are implemented.

Places
We administer a Blue Zones Approval Program that recognizes places that make it easy to help people eat less junk food, move naturally all day, smoke less, build strong social networks, and live out their lives with purpose. In five years, we aim to get 30% of all of the region’s schools, grocery stores, restaurants, and workplaces Blue Zones Approved.

People
Our teams will help 15% of the adult population to optimize their homes for less mindless eating and more natural movement, upgrade their social circle so that they have at least five healthy friends they see regularly, and identify their life purpose and put it to work through volunteering. This perfect storm of healthy nudges and defaults sets people up for success as they move through their day. 10 Activate Riverside County - City of Coachella Assessment Report Activate Riverside County - City of Coachella Assessment Report 11 Table of Contents Table of Contents

CRITERIA: Governing Body Support and Continuity
Elected officials and supervisorial representatives who participated demonstrated support for a Blue Zones transformation in Coachella. In a next stage transformation, it will be important to build on this support and engage additional municipal leaders broadly.

CRITERIA: Well-Being Improvement
Key well-being indicators show that there is a high need across Coachella for a well-being transformation effort, such as a Blue Zones Project. This includes higher than average rates of obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression among other risks when compared to top performing MSA (Metropolitan Statistical Area) communities. By leveraging Blue Zones model for transformation, we believe there is an opportunity to positively impact these, and other, risks and improve well-being for all residents of Coachella.

SCORE:

5.0 SCORE:

4.0 READINESS MEASUREMENT
Readiness is measured on a scale from 1-5 (low to high, respectively) and is a reflection of attendance of key leadership at events or one-on-one meetings, and overall community input during the assessment process.

CRITERIA: Alignment of community’s current initiatives and strategic plans with Blue Zones Both Coachella’s past and current initiatives/strategic plans are in alignment with Blue Zones.

From the past Clinton Health Matters Initiative and Building Healthy Communities Eastern Coachella Valley to the present meaningful work done by Alianza, there is evidence of a strong foundation and effort to improve the health, vitality and opportunities for everyone in the community. Furthermore, the City of Coachella’s General Plan contains many health goals that are also in alignment with Blue Zones. Community leaders identified multiple opportunities for collaboration between Blue Zones and initiatives currently underway across Coachella.

CRITERIA: Leadership Support Across Sectors
Coachella leaders from schools, health care, worksites, civic and non-profit organizations, and human service organizations, demonstrated strong commitment and support for a Blue Zones transformation in Coachella. A number of these leaders attended community presentations and focus groups and were eager to share information and suggestions for alignment with Blue Zones.

What is Blue Zones
The Original Blue Zones
Places where people
live measurably longer,
healthier lives
Power 9®
Though the original blue zones are located
across vastly different parts of the world, their
residents share nine specific traits that lead
to longer, healthier, and happier lives. We call
these the Power 9®.

1. Move Naturally
The world’s longest–lived people
are in environments that nudge
them into moving without thinking
about it.

2. Purpose
Waking up in the morning knowing
your purpose is worth up to seven
years of extra life expectancy.

3. Down Shift
Stress leads to chronic inflammation
and is associated with every major
age–related disease. The world’s
longest–lived people have routines
that shed stress.

4. 80% Rule
“Hara hachi bu”—the Okinawans
say this mantra before meals as
a reminder to stop eating when
80 percent full.

5. Plant Slant
The cornerstone of most
centenarian diets? Beans. They
typically eat meat—mostly pork—
only five times per month.

6. Wine at 5
Moderate drinkers outlive nondrinkers, especially if they share those drinks with friends.

7. Positive Pack
The world’s longest–lived people
chose or were born into social circles
that support healthy behaviors.

8. Loved Ones First
Centenarians put their families
first. They keep aging parents and
grandparents nearby, commit to a life
partner and invest in their children.

9. Belong
Attending faith-based services four
times per month—no matter the
denomination—adds up to 14 years
of life expectancy.

Blue Zones Mission: We help people live better,
longer by improving their environment.

Blue Zones focuses first on changing the
human-made surroundings and systems
that have such a big impact on our health
instead of focusing on changing individual
behaviors. We take an environmental
approach to improving the health and
well-being of entire communities by
impacting the places and spaces people
live, work, and play.

We focus on the Life Radius®,
the 20-mile radius close to
home where we spend 90%
of our lives.

Item 21.

What We Do
The Blue Zones Approach
How can we improve all the places and spaces we spend the most time so that the healthy choice is the easiest choice? In our work in communities, we improve the food environment and built environment to increase the availability and accessibility of healthy food and opportunities to walk, bike, and move. To reduce the culture of excessive drinking and the culture of smoking on the population level, we focus on policies to reduce the access and availability of alcohol and tobacco products. To improve the social environment and reduce loneliness, we help people find ways to connect, give back, and find their purpose.

We weave together a set of complementary strategies that are multifaceted and multi-level and target the entire community — we use policy as the biggest lever to create positive change, but we also reach into all the places people live, work, learn, worship and play.

INCREASE HEALTHY

FOOD AND MOVEMENT

OPTIONS

DECREASE

TOBACCO AND

ALCOHOL OPTIONS
We use Gallup’s Well-Being Data to inform our work. Wellbeing includes not just physical health, but also social, financial, community, and career health. You can predict someone’s life expectancy and health status based on their zip code, and this “Zip Code Effect” shows wide health
disparities exist.

These disparities affect well-being and quality of life but also cost billions of dollars in terms of unnecessary healthcare costs and lost productivity. The interconnectedness of our health to that of our neighbors has never been more clear, and we believe that communities can bridge glaring gaps with a community-wide initiative that combines macroscale policies and micro-level grassroots action.

In our work in over 70 communities in America, we’ve
demonstrated a measurable ability to increase levels of physical activity and the consumption of healthy food over junk food. We’ve seen smoking, obesity, and loneliness
decline. We are good at helping people find their purpose and put that purpose to work. All of these factors have a measurable impact on people’s well-being. We work with
the world’s top experts, use the science of well-being, and find deep engagement at the community level. We build a collective vision with people and leaders to drive consensus around policies that will be most effective and feasible in creating a healthier and happier population.

We test rigorously, innovate relentlessly, and
use evidence-strategies to improve health at
a population level. The result is that people
improve their lives and strengthen their
community at the same time.

Community Collaboration
An essential component to Blue Zones is
meeting the community where they are. A Blue
Zones Project is not something that is “done”
to a community, but rather in full collaboration
with the community. From hiring the local
team directly from the community to hosting
design charrettes to dedicated staff specifically
for community engagement, the Blue Zones
process is grounded on collaborating, listening,
and learning from residents, stakeholders, and
leaders within the neighborhoods.

Since we began work in 2014, the largest gains in well-being came among those who needed it the most. Neighborhoods and sectors of Fort Worth whose residents showed the highest well-being disparities in 2014 now show the greatest gains in well-being. Higher risk populations have lower health outcomes and higher-than-average rates of healthcare costs; this significant achievement comes at a time when most cities in the U.S. see widening gaps in health disparities.

Transformation is Possible
In 2009, Blue Zones worked in partnership with the
AARP and the United Health Foundation to apply
the Power 9 principles to Albert Lea, Minnesota.

It worked: After just one year, participants added an estimated 2.9 years to their average lifespan, while health care claims for city workers dropped 49 percent.

Blue Zones has since expanded to 71 communities across the United States and Canada, impacting millions of people.

At Blue Zones, we transform communities. Applying the principles of the world’s longest lived people, we are pioneers in creating big picture change through altering environments — the places where people live, work, learn, and play. Rather than a siloed approach that concentrates on specific challenges, we represent a paradigm shift to a focus on root causes, not just the symptoms. We help reengineer environments and cultures to make the healthy choice the easy choice and measurably improve the well-being of entire populations. “...the biggest healthy living experiment
in America.”
— DALLAS MORNING NEWS
Value Delivered and Measured
Transforming communities takes time, but every step of the way adds value.

Blue Zones rigorously measures this value throughout the entire process so that change is not just felt, but proven. Our work is quantifiable through three levels of meaningful impact:

Reduction in lifestyle risks
Well-being isn’t just an idea. It’s calculable. We measure risk reduction with the Gallup Well-Being Index® and survey elements tied to overall well-being improvement and Blue Zones interventions.

Movement in community prioritized metrics
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Your community has its own unique challenges and concerns, and a Blue Zones activation is tailored to make them a priority. We work with community leadership to identify and track community-specific metrics utilizing available data sources.

Media interest
Working with Blue Zones is a partnership with a global brand, respected for our pioneering longevity research and groundbreaking work transforming communities in America. Media interest in our work becomes media interest in your work, helping you generate support and secure grant funding for your project.

Well-Being Imperative
In February of 2021, consulting firm Deloitte
released a new report that predicted healthcare
spending as a percentage of GDP would decelerate
over the next 20 years. They expect healthcare
spending to grow to $8.3 trillion by 2040, which
is $3.5 less than the current federal government
estimate. The discrepancy is what they call a “wellbeing dividend,” or the return on investment for tools, systems, or protocols that help consumers to
take an active role in their health and well-being.”
In January of 2021, the Office of the Surgeon General and the U.S.

Department of Health and Human Services released a Community Health and Economic Prosperity report. The first of its kind, it raises awareness to business leaders of the advantage of investing in community health for the health of their businesses and the health of their economy. It shows that the return on investment in community well-being is economic development which means more prosperity and happiness for individuals, organizations, and the community at large.

By 2040, 60% of healthcare
spending will go to improving
health and well-being.

also the smart thing to do since happier individuals
live longer and healthier lives, are more pro-social,
more productive, and also show greater support for

Understanding & Mapping Life
Satisfaction in Riverside County
For this assessment, we teamed up with Oxford
University and Gallup to understand both what
seems to make people in Riverside most happy
and what specific policies are most likely to
increase happiness and life satisfaction. The goal
of this work is to help us identify policies that
are most likely to improve the happiness of the
people of Riverside.

Over the past decade, Gallup has surveyed Americans to determine their life satisfaction and what characteristics most drive that satisfaction. We know from this work that the happiest Americans are socializing more than six to seven hours per day, that people who sleep less than six hours a day are 30% less happy than people who sleep at least eight hours, and that obese people are 11% less happy than similar people of normal weight.

Our experts have analyzed the Gallup Well-Being Data for Riverside County to determine what seems to be most driving life satisfaction and day-today happiness in this community. While health, city, community, safety, and work are all important for happiness everywhere, we are able to discern their relative importance. Knowing this will help policymakers decide what policies should provide the most happiness for RIverside.

The goal of this work is to help
us identify policies that are most
likely to improve the happiness of
the people of Riverside.

The State of

“On which step do you think you will stand about five years from now? ” “Did you experience the following feelings during a lot of the day yesterday? How about __________?” (well-rested, smile or laugh, enjoyment, etc) “Did you experience the following feelings during a lot of the day yesterday?

Policy Overview
Optimizing the built environment, the food
environment, and tobacco and alcohol policies is
a high-impact, cost-effective strategy to reduce
chronic disease and increase well-being.

With this approach, individuals can see tangible
transformation taking place in their lives: from the
buildings they work in, to the streets and paths they
use to get around, to the foods they buy and eat.

Built Environment
Optimizing built environments can increase physical activity of an entire community by over 30%. It can also enhance the social life of a community by increasing a sense of belonging, ownership, watchfulness, and involvement in one’s community.

COACHELLA
Our built and natural environments have a direct impact on our health. The built environment encompasses the human-made spaces where we live, work, learn, and play, which includes our streets, intersections, buildings, homes, and sidewalks. How well our built and natural environments are integrated is an essential predictor of natural movement, socializing, and downshifting in any community.

This report is meant to be a snapshot in time for local community policy and well-being. The policy team endeavors to explore all policy work that is underway in the community.

Introduction
In Coachella, there is a depth of community assets
to increase well-being throughout the city. The City
of Coachella is the most eastern community in the
Coachella Valley, and is home to some of the world’s
most productive agricultural areas, and is a major
producer of citrus, grapes, bell peppers, and 95% of
the nation’s dates.

Geographically located at the center of Riverside
County, Coachella is equidistant between the
Orange / San Diego county border to the west and
the Arizona state border to the east. Despite sharing
a name with the world famous Coachella Music
Festival, this event occurs in neighboring Indio and
the City gains little benefit from the event.

Starting as a rail stop along the Southern Pacific Railroad, Coachella’s initial growth was fueled by harvesting dense mesquite trees for lumber to ship to Los Angeles. Identification of a sizable water source in the early 1900s and development of irrigation systems led to an explosion in agricultural activity, drawing large numbers of immigrant laborers, including from Mexico. Coachella today has a population of around 45,000, with almost 97% of residents of Latino descent, and close to 90% of residents speaking Spanish at home.

Much of Coachella scores poorly in various socioeconomic indexes when contrasted with the county average, with
Coachella ranking in the bottom 15th percentile of the Healthy Places Index. Between 1990 and 2020 Coachella’s population increased by 250%, although over the past decade this growth has slowed. Coachella is home to some of the lowest housing prices in the Coachella Valley, and is set to accommodate spillover demand from high demand areas such as Indio,
which is driving a series of new masterplanned communities designed to cater to snowbirds and retirees. To manage the impacts of this growth and improve the quality of life for existing residents, City goals include sustainable and safe transportation, being a walkable and parks-rich city, with public infrastructure, transit-ready places, healthy housing, and a range of housing stock. Implementing this vision will assist Coachella in accurately directing investment to keep existing residents and retain its soul and sense of place.

Coachella’s built environment assessment was completed
through research, observation, and conversations with local leaders. This process was facilitated by the Blue Zones Built Environment Team, who engaged with key stakeholders and conducted windshield and walking tours to assess readiness to improve well-being through more opportunities to move naturally, socialize, and downshift. The Built Environment Team gleaned insights into planning and leadership, existing on-the-ground efforts, and other considerations. Based on our evaluation and supplemented with on-site interviews, and additional research into the policies and practices of Coachella, we believe there are a number of ways to strengthen the region’s built and natural environment. This report summarizes findings, observations, and next step recommendations. It is intended to inform stakeholders and leadership, with the goal of advancing informed and strategic decisions about built environment opportunities and priorities.

Blue Zones Built Environment Goals
Routine, daily movement and social connection
are central tenets of the Blue Zones principles of a
healthy, engaged lifestyle. This does not necessarily
mean structured exercise or scheduled interactions,
rather, through an environment that is supportive
of walking, bicycling, and social connectedness.

Essential Blue Zones goals for the built environment
include moving naturally, encouraging social
gathering places, completing neighborhoods, and
increasing housing options. Extensive research has
demonstrated that neighborhoods or communities
that have these components have higher rates of
walkability, economic development, vitality, and
greater overall health and safety for residents. Each
of the core Blue Zones built environment goals are
described below.

PROMOTE NATURAL MOVEMENT: A comprehensive and
connected network of pedestrian and bicycle facilities, such as sidewalks and crossings, bicycle lanes, and trails are available to all residents and visitors. Major roads are designed or retrofitted to fully accommodate those
walking and bicycling to access their destinations safely and comfortably. Streets are compact, green, comfortable, and inviting, serving low-speed movement of all. Traditional, wellconnected paths favor walking and biking. Essential to this goal is ensuring the safety, security, and access for people of all ages and abilities. Daily needs are met easiest by walking among mixed use buildings, parks and plazas.

ENCOURAGE SOCIAL GATHERING SPACES: Accessible
areas are integrated into the neighborhood fabric to facilitate and encourage connections between people and places.

Examples include parks, open spaces and community nodes like a plaza or neighborhood square. Sometimes uninviting and nonessential pavement can be transformed into
community amenities.

INCREASE COMPLETE NEIGHBORHOODS: Offer residents
options on where and how to live, work, shop, play, learn, worship, and get around. Destinations and well-connected low speed routes are designed to encourage social connections and reward those who arrive on foot or bike. Benches, shade structures, planters, awnings, water fountains, human scaled lighting, way-finding elements and well-placed quality bicycle parking offer safe, welcoming, comfortable, and appealing surroundings. Buildings provide security by their placement near walkways and transparent window coverage.

INCREASE HOUSING OPTIONS: Providing a range of
housing can increase affordability of neighborhoods
and communities. Missing middle housing, such as
accessory dwelling units, townhomes, duplexes, four
squares, courtyard homes, pocket neighborhoods,
apartments and other housing options traditionally
found in communities are encouraged. Missing middle
housing can also help gently increase density in a
neighborhood, increasing its vitality, sense of community, and opportunities for social connectedness.

Strengths
The City of Coachella enjoys an engaged and
active leadership that have played a critical role
in the development of key assets that are working
towards creating environments that better
prioritize pedestrians, support natural movement
by foot and bicycle, and offer social gathering
areas. City staff have had repeat success in
accessing grants to fund major investments in
supporting and protecting the local community.

Key essential assets include:

ACTIVE FAMILY-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY: Coachella has been
able to create a sense of place and preserve cultural heritage reflective of the community. Keeping residents at top of mind, the City has included health and wellness in the General Plan, as well as instituted meaningful resiliency and climate change initiatives to ensure the well-being of families that live in Coachella. Measures taken include development of an Active Transportation Plan (2020), planting trees, promoting hydrogen-fueled buses, electric scooters, ride-sharing
initiatives, installing solar panels in residences, and water efficiency projects. All efforts undertaken are informed by the community and undertaken in partnership with the community.

TRAIL NETWORK: Extending from Palm Springs to Coachella, the 40-plus-mile CV Link for bicycle, pedestrian, and lowspeed (up to 25 mph) electric vehicle pathway is funded and under construction. This exceptional asset mostly follows the Whitewater River incorporating existing portions of trail.

The CV Link will provide a transportation and recreation route throughout the Coachella Valley with future expansion planned. Identifying feeder routes for bicycle and pedestrian connections to create protected facilities within Coachella to connect to the trail can increase access and bring this asset closer to residents of all ages.

DOWNTOWN INVESTMENT: In recent years the City has
made a series of major investments in the downtown and
surrounding areas, representing some best practices in
downtown revitalization. These investments include the
Veterans’ Park (2016) the Coachella Branch Library (2018), and extensive remodeling of the Coachella Senior Center (2020) and the Palm View Elementary School (2021). Connectivity between Downtown amenities has been enhanced through
wide sidewalks, mid-block crossings, extensive street lighting, mature trees, landscaping and public art, resulting in strong, inviting, and accessible downtown core. Coachella’s built environment investment in the downtown and immediate
surrounding area is an example of how to get the design details right.

PLACEMAKING: The savvy municipal investments made in
the downtown and citywide have established a placemaking framework that encourages small business opportunity, new jobs, mobility, and sustainability. The various design elements implemented and policies instituted are creating a walkable, vibrant and safe place. A city with a soul and sense of self can add value for retail sales and encourage private investment.

Coachella will need to weigh new development proposals from a full cost accounting perspective including impact to city services, the increase to well-being, economic opportunities generated, and real community benefit for residents.

Challenges
There are several challenges that could prevent
or hinder Coachella from maximizing or fully
capitalizing on opportunities. During the focus
group meeting, participants shared a number of
challenges that are preventing residents from
fully maximizing the built and natural amenities
Coachella has to offer. This includes:  High unemployment and poverty rates  Strong demand for affordable housing - a recent affordable housing development saw 4,000
applicants for 108-units, indicating a need for
more affordable housing
 Coachella is home to a large student population,
with around 25% of people under 18, with many
leaving to pursue secondary education and
leaving the area. How can Coachella better retain
young talent?
 Limited transit options  Housing affordability
 Coachella’s desert climate leads to frequent days
above 100 degrees with intense sunlight, making
alternative forms of transport less appealing
 Funding is challenging  Unable to sustain more services  Maintenance of new infrastructure is a concern  More open space and amenities but fear won’t be able to maintain any of those improvements
 Despite a number of well-loved parks, the City is
park poor and many areas lack convenient access
to recreational facilities
The Blue Zones Built Environment team identified
additional challenges, as well:

HOUSING: With more housing, there is greater demand on
City services. Private developers are driving the market and building new homes, with more planned. Some of these efforts include affordable housing. The City coordinates closely with the County Housing Authority on all affordable housing efforts; and while needed, the multifamily low-income housing in the downtown is rental only. This is a broader challenge to provide housing that can build wealth creation.

SAFER STREETS: As identified throughout Riverside County, the default typical street section is 5 lanes for vehicle travel, with overly wide lane widths. Street design standards should be changed in order to better support desired surrounding land uses, the safety of all road users and to retain a neighborhood feel. While there has been significant investment to improve safety and walkability in Coachella, a broader application to the entire street network is needed to effect change for a safer and more people focused built environment.

Neighborhood collectors and residential street width
standards, in particular, need to be reduced and the pavement reallocated. Avenue 51, as an example, could be improved with protected pedestrian refuge in median islands for
safer crossings at uncontrolled intersections and mid-block, reducing the number of travel lanes and lane widths, and tighter radii corners at intersections. These changes improve safety for walking or biking by encouraging reduced travel speeds through built environment improvements that are
people focused.

Opportunities
Building from these assets, Coachella is teeming
with opportunities to increase well-being.

During our focus group meetings, we heard from
participants on several opportunities. This includes:
 Safe routes to school efforts
 Want more open space and amenities but fear that they won’t be able to maintain any of those improvements
 Introduce a Ciclovia, a car-free festival (see Muevete en Bici - Mexico City)
 Coachella can improve their bike infrastructure – there’s good potential, including connections to nearby
communities
 Can solar panels be a thing?
 There could be a focus on food – to become a
gastronomical destination – there are opportunities for new revenue streams
 Need to build anti-displacement measures
 Coachella’s transit infrastructure is lacking compared to communities in East Coachella Valley (e.g. Palm Springs)  Different in the next five years with the rise of electric bikes?
 Excitement at the prospect of the Coachella Valley-San Gorgonio Pass which would link Coachella to Downtown
Los Angeles.
 Installing a transportation center/hub
 County Housing Authority – City coordinates with them on all affordable housing efforts
 Health and Wellness elements in the City’s General Plan CYCLING INFRASTRUCTURE: The community is propelling
the desire for more protected bicycle facilities and paired with the CV Link and successful downtown investment, there are additional quick methods for implementing bicycle facilities.

Updated lane striping on existing pavement on key corridors to reallocate pavement for connectivity from residential to destinations is one of the easiest methods. A minimum width of bicycle lane standard and the practice of using average daily trip data to inform the number of travel lanes can be established. The threshold for a lane reduction from 5 to 3 lanes is typically less than 20,000 to 22,000 vehicle trips per day. Residential streets should also be designed for less than 25 mph with less pavement width. This approach has multiple benefits: less maintenance costs, more land for housing, slower traffic speeds for safer streets, and less need for enforcement.

HOUSING: With over half the land area undeveloped, Coachella has a unique moment-in-time-opportunity to address housing based on local values. To help residents build wealth and incorporate supportive anti-displacement measures, entry level price points for greater homeownership can be more readily achieved with a variety of housing types. Allowing for a variety of housing options also contributes to improved walkability. “Missing middle” housing types such as: accessory dwelling units (ADUs), duplex, triplex, four squares, garden apartments and townhomes should be allowed, in emerging and existing neighborhoods. The City can encourage and incentivize this type of development with streamlined permitting and “off the shelf” design plans to better guide development and manage growth for a more economically stable, sustainable and resilient community. Broader policy could “masterplan” the city to set expectations for developers with an urban design and transportation network. An innovative approach example is Baldwin Park in Orlando, Florida, that redeveloped an 1,100 acre former Naval Base.

WELLNESS HUB: The City of Coachella is using ARPA funding and other sources to address accessibility and availability of park space and recreation activities, including development of a wellness hub concept. Known as Central Park, this
community driven project will include an “inclusive playground with shade, a splash pad, a multi-purpose pavillion with restrooms, a walking path, botanical/community garden” built with CPTED principals to provide direct lines of sight. While the City is pursuing creative sources of funding whose missions align with this concept, such as an $8.45 million grant from the Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program (SPP), the City should work to ensure accessibility to surrounding developments and beyond through enhancing alternative transportation options and expansion of bike lanes.

This is the type of catalyst project that could improve the wellbeing of entire families and provide a social gathering space.

CAPITALIZE ON CITY INVESTMENTS: In recent years
Coachella has invested tens of millions of dollars into its Downtown, which is starting to attract private development in and around the Downtown core. Numerous apartment
buildings are in the pipeline in and around the Downtown core which will help animate streets, support independent retail and services, and catalyze more development. Coachella should continue efforts to incentivize development downtown and make it an in demand destination to live, work, and play.

CLIMATE ADAPTATIONS: Coachella should incorporate
green infrastructure such as green roofs, walls, rain gardens, and tree planting initiatives to increase sustainability, reduce car dependence, and mitigate the urban heat island effect.

In addition, Coachella can also consider installing shade structures and mature, native trees along bike lanes to provide protection from the intense desert sun, encouraging more people to cycle instead of drive. These shade structures can also incorporate solar panels to generate renewable energy and further increase the city’s sustainability.

Readiness Acknowledgements
Does the political leadership of the
jurisdiction have a strong willingness to
support Blue Zones efforts?
Are the city’s/region’s decision-makers
on board to change (some) jurisdictional
policies and processes to support a Blue
Zones project?
Are community groups excited about
the possibility of a Blue Zones project
and on board to partner and collaborate
to move a Blue Zone project forward?
Are other community influencers
excited about the potential and willing
to support our work?
A first step after Blue Zones is invited into a
community is to assess readiness. This is an
essential step as a number of communities are
interested in transformation to enable “making
the healthy choice the easy choice.” Specific
to our four policy areas, we seek to answer the
following questions: ????
