Re: 2025 Investment Policy Review
At your request, we reviewed the City of Coachella (the “City”) Investment Policy (the “Policy”) as part of the City’s annual review process. The current Policy is comprehensive and is in compliance with the current California Government Code (“Code”) statutes regulating the investment of public funds.
Although no changes are required at this time, there is one Code change effective January 1, 2025, that will extend the amount permitted in Placement Service Deposits under Section 53601(o) from 30% to 50% until 2031. We are not recommending that you incorporate the 50% limit into the Policy unless you would like to change the current policy and include Placement Service Deposits.
Please let us know if you have any questions or if you would like to discuss further.

Item 7.
CITY OF COACHELLA
STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
ADOPTED June 11, 2025
1.0 POLICY:
This statement is intended to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of the City of Coachella's (hereafter called "City") temporarily idle cash in all funds, and outline the policies for maximizing the efficiency of the City's cash management system.
It is the objective of this investment policy to provide guidelines for:
• Insuring the safety of funds invested;
• Meeting the City's daily cash flow demands;
• Maximizing investment interest income for the City;
• Conform with all laws and statutes governing the investment of public funds.
2.0 SCOPE:
The investment policy applies to the temporary idle cash of the City and its component units as accounted for in the Audited Comprehensive Financial Report. Policy statements outlined in this document focus on the City's pooled funds. This policy is applicable, but not limited to all funds listed below:
• General Fund
• Special Revenue Funds
• Capital Outlay Funds
• Debt Service Funds
• Enterprise Funds
• Fiduciary Funds
• Any new fund created by the City Council unless specifically exempted Exceptions may exist with funds for retiree pension and medical benefits held in a trust and bond proceeds held by a trustee or fiscal agent and governed by the instructions in the bond document.
In addition, if in the opinion of the City Treasurer or their Authorized Designee (Designee), matching the segregated investment portfolio of the bond reserve fund with the maturity schedule of an individual bond issue is prudent given current economic analysis, the investment policy authorizes extending beyond the five year maturity limitation with City Council authorization no less than three months prior to the investment as outlined in this document.
3.0 PRUDENCE:
Item 7.
City of Coachella
Statement of Investment Policy
June 11, 2025
The City Treasurer or Designee are authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of the City and considered as trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investors' standard.
When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, and managing public funds, the City Treasurer or Designee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct and management of their own affairs.
Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part to an overall strategy, the City Treasurer or Designee are authorized to acquire approved and suitable investments as described in paragraph 8.0 hereof.
The City Treasurer, Authorized Designee and other individuals assigned to manage the investment portfolio, acting within the intent and scope of the investment policy and other written procedures and exercising due diligence, shall be relieved of personal responsibility and liability for an individual security credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely manner and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.
4.0 OBJECTIVES:
The three fundamental considerations, in order of priority, for managing the City's investments are safety, liquidity, and yield. At no time should safety or liquidity be compromised in exchange for higher yields.
Safety of Principal
The preservation of invested capital is the foremost objective of the City and of primary importance. The City shall only invest in financial instruments that are considered safe. The safety and risk associated with an investment refers to the potential loss of principal, accrued interest, or a combination of these amounts. Each investment decision shall seek to ensure that capital losses are avoided. To attain this objective, diversification is required in order that potential losses on individual securities do not exceed the income generated from the remainder of the portfolio.
Liquidity
The City's investment portfolio shall contain investments with a diversified mix of maturities in order to provide sufficient liquidity to meet projected operating cash requirements of the City.
Return on Investments
The City's investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of obtaining a reasonable and competitive market rate of return taking into consideration risk constraints, prudent investment principles and the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio.
5.0 DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY:
Item 7.
City of Coachella
Statement of Investment Policy
June 11, 2025
The authority to invest or to reinvest funds or to sell or exchange securities so purchased of City Funds is vested in the City Council. Government Code Section ("GCS") 53607 authorizes the delegation of the above duties to the City Treasurer for a one-year period. Therefore, the authority to invest and reinvest City funds or to sell or exchange the securities so purchased with City funds is hereby delegated to the City Treasurer for a one year period unless sooner terminated by the City Council.
The City Treasurer or Designee shall prepare written procedures for the operation of the investment program consistent with this investment policy. The procedures shall also include reference to:
safekeeping, wire transfer agreements, banking service contracts and collateral/depository agreements. Such procedures shall include explicit delegation of authority to persons responsible for investment transactions. The written procedures may provide for the delegation of authority to an Authorized Designee, who upon assuming such position shall become responsible for investment transactions. No person may engage in an investment decision except as permitted by this policy and by the procedures approved by the City Treasurer or Designee.
The City may delegate investment authority to an investment advisor. The advisor will follow the Investment Policy and such other written instructions as are provided.
6.0 ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST:
Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Employees and investment officials are required to annually file all applicable financial disclosures as required by the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC).
7.0 AUTHORIZED FINANCIAL DEALERS AND INSTITUTIONS:
For any investment not purchased directly from the issuer, the City shall transact business only with banks, savings and loans, and investment broker/dealers. The broker/dealers should be primary dealers regularly reporting to the New York Federal Reserve Bank. The City Treasurer or Designee shall select all security dealers and depositories subject to City Council approval and the execution of an appropriate written agreement. Investment transactions shall be conducted with several competing, reputable security broker/dealers. The selection process shall focus on financial viability, knowledge, experience and ethics in the fixed-income security industry. The City Treasurer or Designee will maintain a list and a written agreement with financial institutions authorized to provide investment services.
All financial institutions and broker/dealers who desire to become an authorized financial institution for investment transactions must supply the City Treasurer or Designee with the following: most recent audited financial statements, proof of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) certification, trading resolution, proof of state registration, completed broker/dealer questionnaire, certification of having read the City's investment policy and City of

Coachella depository contracts. The City Treasurer or Designee will conduct an annual review of the financial condition and registrations of qualified bidders.
The City Treasurer or Designee shall annually send a copy of the current investment policy to all broker/dealers approved to do business with the City. Confirmation of receipt of this policy shall be considered evidence that the dealer understands the City's investment policies and intends to sell the City only appropriate investments authorized by this investment policy. If the City has an investment advisor, the investment advisor may use its own list of authorized broker/dealers to conduct transactions on behalf of the City.
8.0 AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS:
As provided in GCSs 16429.1, 53601, 53601.1, 53631, 53649 and 53684, the State of California limits the investment vehicles available to local agencies as summarized in the following paragraphs. Where this Policy specifies a percentage limitation for a particular security type or issuer, that percentage is applicable at the time the security is purchased. No more than 5% of the City's portfolio shall be invested in any one issuer regardless of sector except for the U.S. Treasury, Federal Agencies, supranational, and pools (including LAIF, County Pools, LGIPs, and money market funds). Credit criteria listed in this section refers to the credit rating at the time the security is purchased.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: William B. Pattison, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Adopt Resolution No. 2025-34 Approving Interim Expenditures Prior to Adoption of the Budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26.
SUMMARY
A Continuing Resolution allows the City to make routine and monthly payments for personnel, supplies, services, and miscellaneous maintenance costs as necessary to continue day-to-day operations.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2025-34 in order to authorize the City Manager to continue City operations, including payroll and purchases of necessity in order to keep the City in operations consistent with expenditures and commitments approved in the fiscal 2023-2024 adopted budget for an additional period of 31 days (until July 31, 2025) prior to the approval of the adoption of the Annual Budget for FY 2025-26.
DISCUSSIONS:
California Government Code Section 53901 requires each local agency to file its budget with the County Auditor within 60 days after the beginning of its fiscal year. If an agency does not have a "formal budget," it must file a listing of its anticipated revenues together with its expenditures for the fiscal year in progress.
A continuing resolution will allow the City of Coachella to continue to provide essential services to the community and to pay its employees for an additional period of 31 days (until July 31, 2025).
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Resolution will provide a funding mechanism for a limited timeframe, allowing the City to continue operations and pay costs related to its daily services and operations. Without this continuing resolution, there is no legal authorization to spend funds or incur any liability or debt.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: William B. Pattison, City Manager
SUBJECT: Authorize the City Manager to encumber an additional $200,628 for the acquisition of the Tyler Enterprise ERP from unassigned General Fund STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Manager to encumber additional $200,628 from the unassigned General Fund Tyler Technologies Inc. for the implementation of Tyler’s Enterprise ERP.
BACKGROUND:
The City currently utilizes Tyler Technologies, Inc. Tyler’s Eden product as a full ERP. The system was implemented in 2002 and is not fully capable of handling the City’s increased system needs.
The Current system is employed for financial reporting, business licenses, building permits, payroll, vendor and procurement tracking, utility billing and human resources (partial). In late 2021 the City was made aware that Tyler was planning on phasing out the Eden system due to obsolescence. In February of 2022 the City was notified that a sunset date of March 1, 2027 had been implemented.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
Implementing a new ERP system will be a monumental undertaking for the City. The ERP system cost does not represent the full cost of implementation. The project budget below outlines areas where additional direct costs will be incurred. In addition to this, the Council will see delays in other
City activities as the implementation progresses. This new system will add significant new functionality in multiple areas as outlined below. All City departments and a significant number of City staff will be involved in setting up, implementing, and learning the new system. The implementation of the new ERP system will take approximately 12 months.
New system enhancements:
Some of the included new system enhancements in addition to a more modern and capable platform are listed below:
Item 9.
Fully functional permitting system - The City currently inputs permit charges in the system, but workflow tracking is done outside of the system manually with paper files. The new system will allow residents to submit, track, edit and pay for permits all from an externally accessible user account interface.
Fully functional business license, cannabis and TOT tax payment portal – The City currently asks businesses to fill out PDF or paper tax returns and submit them in person or via email.
There is no error checking for correct inputs and the business is unable to track the status of their returns or payments. The new system will have fully integrated business user functionality allowing for input, tracking and payment of all City taxes and payments.
Project and grant accounting – projects and grants are currently tracked through account coding and getting a real time project or grant balance is a manual process prone to errors.
The new system will have a fully integrated project and grant accounting component.
Paperless functionality – Currently departments retain varying levels of paper records.
Digital records are stored in separate file systems outside of the current ERP system. This adds time for looking up the records. The new system will have full in-system document retention functionality. Scanned records will be accessible directly from all components of the system.
The summary quoted system cost from Tyler Munis is shown below:
Project Budget:
System implementation 975,200.00
Annual fee ( 1st year) 287,360.00
Project manager 39,400.00
Additional training 12,000.00
Specialized consultant staff 46,300.00
Staff over-time (1,500 hours) 84,660.00
Travel expense (Tyler team) 36,990.00
Total project budget 1,481,910.00
Item 9.
FISCAL IMPACT:
On February 14, 2024 the City Council approved the appropriation of funds for the amount of $1.481,910. Part of the funding was coming from the ARPA Grant in the amount of $550,000, however, some of the ARPA funds were allocated to another project, shortening the allocation to the Enterprise ERP by $200,628. The new allocation would be as follows:
Water Fund (178)................$149,400 (From unassigned fund balance) Sanitary Fund (361) ............$149,400 (From unassigned fund balance) ARPA Grant (152)..............$350,372
General Fund (101).............$833,738 ($200,628 Additional unassigned fund balance) The fiscal impact will be the appropriation of an additional $200,628 from unassigned Fund Balance.

SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 2025-35 Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Grant Agreement with Imperial Irrigation District in the Amount of $29,600 for the Public Green Space Grant Bagdouma Park Project
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council consider adopting Resolution No. 2025-35 authorizing the City Manager to execute a grant agreement with Imperial Irrigation District in the amount of $29,600 for the Public Green Space Grant Bagdouma Park Project.
BACKGROUND:
Imperial Irrigation District’s (IID) 2025 Public Green Space Grant Program initiative is part of IID’s Tree for All program. The Grant provides opportunities for cities to increase their urban forests. Planting urban trees provide essential benefits such as cooling cities by lowering temperatures through tree shading, reducing energy demand, and enhancing public spaces promoting well-being and quality of life. In 2024, 18 projects across 40 sites throughout Imperial and Coachella Valley were awarded. On May 5, 2025, the City of Coachella submitted an application for the Public Green Space Grant to plant trees 24” box trees at Bagdouma Park. On June 5, 2025, IID approved the City of Coachella’s application for $29,600.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
As a desert city, Coachella faces unique environmental challenges. Planting additional trees extends beyond aesthetic purposes, they serve as vital infrastructure that mitigates heat, improves air quality, supports public health, and strengthens climate resilience. Increased tree canopy translates directly to safer, more comfortable recreation areas for children, families, and seniors. The species selected for this planting are well-suited to desert conditions and include Acacia Aneura, Tipuana Tipu, Bauhinia Blakeana, Jacaranda Mimosifolia, Lysiloma Thornberi, Acacia Saligna, Quercus Virginia. These species not only thrive in arid climates but also contribute to carbon sequestration, wind buffering, and shade provision. Additionally, the new trees will also contribute to greenhouse gas reductions.
Item 10.
Installation and irrigation will be managed by Vintage Landscape, Inc. The city’s current contractor for Bagdouma Park’s landscape maintenance. Future maintenance for the trees will be fully integrated into the City’s ongoing arborist and landscape service contracts.
Project Budget:
Project Costs
49 – 24” Box Trees @ $525 each (includes stakes and ties) $25,725 49 – 24” irrigation heads @ $78.50 each $3,712.20
Total $29,437.20
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 2025-35 Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Grant Agreement with Imperial Irrigation District in the Amount of $29,600 for the Public Green Space Grant Bagdouma Park Project
2. Not Adopt Resolution No. 2025-35 Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Grant Agreement with Imperial Irrigation District in the Amount of $29,600 for the Public Green Space Grant Bagdouma Park Project
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adoption of Resolution No. 2025-35 will have no effect on the City’s General Fund. Project is fully funded by the Public Green Space Grant Program. Grant funding will be distributed in two payments: 50% funding upon award and 50% funding at project completion.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Jaime Arroyo, Grants Manager
SUBJECT: Authorize a Community-Based Grant to the American Heart Association in the Amount of $1,000 to Fund their Coachella Valley Heart & Stroke Walk HandsOnly CPR Education STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council consider awarding a Community-Based Grant (CBG) to the American Heart Association in the amount of $1,000 to fund their Coachella Valley Heart & Stroke Walk Hands-Only CPR Education.
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 24-25 budget included an allocation of $15,000 for the Community Based Grant Program.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The American Heart Association (AHA) is a 110-year-old nonprofit organization that funds cardiovascular medical research, educates consumers on healthy living and fosters appropriate cardiac care in an effort to reduce disability and deaths caused by cardiovascular disease and stroke. The proposed program will serve residents by providing free, hands-only CPR education at the 2025 Coachella Valley Heart & Stroke Walk.
Item 11.
The Heart & Stroke Walk is an inclusive public event that will be held on December 6, 2025 at the Palm Desert Civic Center Park. The program is designed to engage a broad and diverse group of attendees with an emphasis on including low- and moderate-income families who may have less access to health education resources. Bilingual education and materials (English and Spanish) will be provided to ensure accessibility and cultural relevance. Residents who attend the walk will have the opportunity to learn this critical, lifesaving skill, equipping them to respond effectively in cardiac emergencies at home, in the workplace, or in public settings. By offering CPR education to a diverse and regional audience, the program helps build a more prepared and responsive community, increasing the likelihood of bystander intervention during cardiac emergencies.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Award a Community Based Grant in the amount of $1,000.
2. Do not award a Community Based Grant
FISCAL IMPACT:
Should the City Council approve the staff recommendation, the Community-Based Grant Program account will be reduced by $1,000.

STAFF REPORT
6/25/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Andrew Simmons, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer SUBJECT: Authorize the removal and replacement of key HVAC components at the Coachella Library in the amount not to exceed $29,965.00.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the removal and replacement of key HVAC components at the Coachella Library in the amount not to exceed $29,965.00.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The City of Coachella maintains and operates the meeting rooms inside the Coachella Library. The meeting rooms #119 and #120 have been experiencing a temperature imbalance. City staff has had an expert inspect the HVAC system to determine the cause of the imbalance and provide recommendations to correct the imbalance. It was determined that replacing the electronic zone damper system and installing a larger ceiling diffuser prior to replacing the HVAC units and redoing the duct work would be a more cost effective route.
City staff has reached out to Brisas Air Conditioning and Heating and Blair Air Conditioning to provide quotes for the work described in the report. After reviewing the quotes, Staff is recommending awarding the work to Brisas Air Conditioning and Heating in an amount not to exceed $29,965.00.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact to the General Fund. Work will be completed with budget from the Building Maintenance budget 101-11-165-90-334-011 for Library Contract Services.

Re: Coachella Library

After reviewing the plans and talking to you and Jose from Brisas Air Conditioning about the temperature imbalance in the Meeting Rooms #119 & #120. The existing zone control system is not working correctly. I would suggest replacing the existing with a new Honeywell electronic zone damper system with supply zone dampers for each room, a gravity bypass damper, an electronic panel, and controls, wiring and air balance for proper operation.
Also, I would suggest installing larger and a different type of ceiling diffusers. Because of the 12’ high ceiling, I suggest a ceiling diffuser that has adjustable blades to direct the air toward the floor. Also, install new return air grilles. Rather than the 16” X 16” that now exist, replace them with 24” X24” T-Bar return grilles.
By doing this it would provide better air flow.
I suggest doing these 2 things, which are relatively minor compared to replacing units and ductwork.
Let’s see how this works before taking a next step.
Please call if you have any questions.
Thank you

STAFF REPORT
6/25/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Kendra Reif, Interim Development Services Director SUBJECT: Consideration to Fill Two Planning Commission Vacancies STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Mayor and City Council fill two vacancies on the Planning Commission.
BACKGROUND:
The Coachella Planning Commission is made up of five members and one alternative member, who are appointed to 4-year terms that are staggered. The City Attorney recently opined that the terms of the mayor’s appointments are for a 2-year term based on Coachella Municipal Code (C.M.C.) Sections 2.32 and 2.26. Accordingly, every two years, three commissioners must be newly appointed. The C.M.C. Section 2.26.020 (B), states that each council member may nominate an individual to serve on each city commission and committee subject to appointment by the mayor, with approval by the City Council, at open session of a regular or special city council meeting. If a council member fails to nominate an individual, the mayor may appoint someone with approval by the City Council. The C.M.C. 2.26.020 (D), states that in an event of an interim vacancy, the council member who nominated the vacating member may nominate another individual, subject to appointment by the mayor with approval by the City Council, for the unexpired term of the member replaced. There is no individual council member nomination for the Alternate Planning Commissioner.
On February 26, 2025, Councilmember Perez nominated Margarita Lopez to serve a 4-year term as Planning Commissioner and was approved by the City Council. Margarita Lopez at that time declined the appointment and the City Council will need to fill the vacancy. Table 1 shows the Planning Commission Appointments from the February 26, 2025 meeting.
On April 9, 2025, Commissioner Yurema Arvizu resigned from her role as a Planning Commissioner. Former Commissioner Yurema Arvizu was previously nominated by Councilmember Figueroa and was appointed to the Planning Commission on March 8, 2023. Since this is a vacancy due to a resignation, the future appointee’s term will continue where former Commissioner Yurema Arvizu’s term left off and will expire in November of 2026. Table 2 shows the current Planning Commissioner roles and vacancies.

The City Clerk’s Office maintains a list of the following candidates for Planning Commission:
Karla Flores Rosas
Stephanie Ambriz
Manuel Gaitan
Margarita Lopez
Elizabeth Aguilar
The City Council may fill the current Planning Commission vacancies from the list of candidates included in this staff report, or with the Planning Commissioners applications received up until 3 PM on June 25, 2025, or extend the deadline for Planning Commissioner applications.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There are no direct fiscal impacts by appointment of Planning Commissioners on the adopted budget for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 or for the upcoming Fiscal Year 2025/2026.
ALTERNATIVE(S):
1) Fill the two existing Planning Commission vacancies from the submitted Planning Commissioner applications.

As General Manager of the Riverside County Citrus Pest Control District No. 2, I lead public programs that directly affect local zoning, environmental compliance, I have over a decade of experience managing land use, infrastructure planning, and agricultural operations across the Coachella Valley.
The Planning Commission is responsible for shaping growth in a way that balances development, environmental needs, and community well-being.
I would help by applying practical insight from both government and private sector experience to guide smart land use, infrastructure design, and community outreach. My focus would be on thoughtful, sustainable planning that protects Coachella’s unique identity. Page 130 Item 14.

I’m local, bilingual, and I understand how to get things done at both the policy and project level. I’ve managed crews, budgets, land, and compliance work. I also connect well with people and believe in communicating clearly and listening first. I bring a lot of real-world perspective to the table, especially when it comes to land use, infrastructure, and ag-related planning.
I love this city and want to see it thrive. Whether it’s helping navigate land use decisions, zoning changes, or balancing development with the community needs. I'd like to see Coachella continue to grow in a way that stays true to its roots while building something for a great future. 4/14/2025

Item 14.
1. Why do you think you should be appointed? What is there specifically in your background, training, education and interests that qualifies you as a candidate? I believe I should be appointed to the planning committee because of my deep-rooted passion for building a stronger and more inclusive community and my unique blend of professional experiences, education, and ongoing personal development. Having worked closely with underserved populations through John Muir Charter School (continuation high school; students age 18-25), I’ve seen firsthand how access to thoughtful planning and resources can transform lives. This experience has given me a strong sense of responsibility to contribute to shaping a city where every resident feels supported and heard.
One of my proudest achievements has been connecting underserved populations to important resources such as healthcare, immigration support, and job training through collaborative partnerships with local organizations. This has not only strengthened my understanding of community needs but also reinforced my belief in the power of equitable urban development. Academically, my bachelor’s degree from UC Riverside and current pursuit of a GIS certificate reflect my commitment to equipping myself with the tools needed to make data-driven decisions. I’m excited about the opportunity to bring these skills into practice, especially as GIS plays a critical role in identifying patterns and creating efficient, sustainable urban spaces.
Born and raised in Coachella, I have admired the progress of Coachella’s rich potential. Joining the planning committee would be a meaningful way for me to give back and ensure that Coachella continues to grow in a way that benefits all its residents. My ability to communicate effectively, navigate complex challenges,
Item 14.
and bring people together makes me confident in my ability to contribute to this role.
2. What do you see as the goals and objectives of the Commission? How would you help achieve these objectives and goals?
I see the goals and objectives of the planning commission as fostering responsible urban development, ensuring equitable access to resources and services, and maintaining a balance between growth and sustainability. The commission plays a role in shaping the community by addressing housing, transportation, land use, and public spaces. Its work must reflect the needs of all residents while prioritizing inclusivity, environmental stewardship, and economic vitality.
To help achieve these objectives, I would draw on my experience in community engagement, education, and resource coordination. At John Muir Charter School, I’ve worked to connect underserved populations to essential resources by fostering partnerships with local organizations. This ability to understand and address diverse community needs would allow me to contribute meaningfully to inclusive planning decisions. Additionally, I am eager to bring my growing expertise in GIS to the commission. GIS tools enable data-driven analysis that can inform sustainable development, such as identifying areas that need improvement with accessibility in public resources. By integrating these insights into decision-making, we can create a city that grows responsibly while preserving its environmental assets.
Item 14.
Collaboration is key to achieving these goals. My ability to engage with stakeholders from various backgrounds, communicate effectively, and prioritize shared objectives ensures that I can help the commission create an inclusive and sustainable community for all residents.
3. What special qualities can you bring to the Commission? I bring a unique combination of skills, experiences, and perspectives that would contribute to the commission’s work. One of my key strengths is my ability to foster collaboration across diverse groups, a quality I’ve honed through my work at John Muir Charter School, where I facilitated partnerships between the school and local community organizations. I’m adept at navigating different interests and building bridges to ensure all voices are heard, especially those of underserved populations.
Additionally, my background in international engagement with the World Federation of United Nations Associations (WFUNA) has provided me with a broader perspective on global development, diplomacy, and the importance of inclusive decision-making. While at WFUNA, I helped organize youth events and coordinated with a variety of international stakeholders, which sharpened my ability to work in diverse, multicultural environments. This experience has made me value considering different viewpoints and integrating a wide range of ideas to inform decision-making, especially in complex planning contexts. I am also committed to learning and self-improvement, currently pursuing a GIS certificate to strengthen my analytical and data-driven approach to planning. I see GIS as an important tool for informed, sustainable urban development, and I’m excited to integrate this knowledge into the commission’s work.
Item 14.
These qualities, collaboration, a global mindset, and a passion for learning and sustainability, are what I would bring to the commission, ensuring that decisions are inclusive, data-informed, and focused on creating a thriving community for all.
4. Do you have any questions or comments about the Commission’s structure or functions?
One question I have is about the commission’s process for engaging the community, especially underrepresented groups, during the planning and decision-making stages. How does the commission ensure that all voices are heard and that diverse perspectives are incorporated into planning proposals? Also, I’d be interested to learn more about how the commission integrates new technologies and data tools, like GIS, into its decision-making processes. Given my interest in using GIS for urban planning, I’d love to understand how such tools are currently being utilized or if there are opportunities for incorporating them further.
Lastly, I’m curious about the commission’s approach to sustainability and how it is prioritized in long-term planning. Are there specific sustainability goals or initiatives the commission is focusing on that I could potentially contribute to with my background in environmental science and community outreach?
Item 14.
5. Other comments and/or ideas as to how you as a member of the selected Commission could benefit the City of Coachella.
As a member of the Planning Commission, I believe I can bring a unique and valuable perspective to benefit the City of Coachella. My background in community engagement, education, and resource coordination will allow me to help ensure that planning decisions are inclusive and reflect the needs of all residents, particularly those from underserved communities. I am committed to creating spaces where everyone’s voice is heard, and I would work to build stronger connections between the commission and local organizations, ensuring that planning efforts align with the community’s needs.
Furthermore, my ongoing pursuit of a GIS certificate and my interest for sustainable urban development position me to contribute meaningfully to long-term planning initiatives. I am excited to use GIS tools to inform decisions, improve resource distribution, and ensure that growth happens in a way that respects the environment and promotes sustainability.
Additionally, my experience in international collaboration with the World Federation of United Nations Associations has broadened my understanding of how different regions tackle urban planning challenges. This global perspective will allow me to approach local issues with creative solutions and the ability to think beyond the immediate context, considering broader trends in development and sustainability.
Ultimately, I believe my combination of local community work, international experience, and commitment to continuous learning can help ensure that Coachella’s growth is thoughtful, inclusive, and sustainable for years to come.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Celina Jimenez, Director of Economic Development
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 2025-36 Authorizing a Conditional Loan Commitment Letter to Defer Local Development Impact Fees for the Sixth Street Senior Apartments Affordable Housing Project in the Amount of $1,179,044 STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that City Council consider approving Resolution No. 2025-36 authorizing a Conditional Loan Commitment Letter to defer local development impact fees for the Sixth Street Senior Apartments affordable housing project in the amount of $1,179,044.
BACKGROUND:
Chelsea Investment Corporation ("Developer") has obtained site control for a proposed low income housing project with the intention of constructing a 53-unit affordable multifamily development with 4,742 square feet of commercial space, carports and related improvements known as the 6th Street Senior CIC, LP Apartments (the "Project") with expected entitlement in the name of 6
th Street Seniors CIC, LP. The project includes properties with APNs 778-113-001 and 778-113-002.
The project will provide a substantial public welfare benefit to the City through the mitigation of housing shortages in the City and State. To make the project financially viable and allow the Developer to facilitate financing arrangements for the project, the developer needs to defer these local development impact fee payments. To defer these assessments, the developer is asking the City to enter into a conditional loan and prepayment agreement letter that will defer the payments from the project for 55 years. The full amount of the assessments will be payable out of residual receipts generated by the project, secured by a Promissory Note and Deed of Trust against the property at the end of 55 years or sooner if the project is sold or refinanced.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The letter shall serve as an enforceable funding commitment for the loan with the following terms:
Item 15.
1. Loan Amount - $1,179,044
2. Loan Term - 55 years.
3. Interest- 3% simple per annum.
4. Repayment - in full at end of loan term, sale or refinance.
5. Annual Payments - 50% of residual cash flow.*
*Free cash flow will be stipulated in the agreement consistent with standard financial definitions and will specifically exclude any equity items such as but not limited to partnership distributions, profit pay outs, partner guaranteed payments or any other equity/capital distribution as defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Free cash flows will also specifically exclude reserve balances except for reasonable operating reserves which will not exceed one year of operating expenses as measured by the immediately preceding fiscal year.
With final loan approval subject to the following conditions:
1. The Developer secures all project financing.
2. The Developer obtains all necessary City and other regulatory approvals.
3. The Developer agrees to complete all off-site improvements specified in grant, funding and City agreements along with related applications and supporting detail documents.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City is not currently receiving assessment revenue from this project and this conditional loan commitment will defer payments to the City for a term of 55 years. The City will be deferring these assessments for 55 years under the terms of the conditional loan commitment letter receiving a payback of approximately $1,179,044 including interest at that time.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Conduct a Public Hearing pursuant to AB 2561; and
2. Receive the status update report on vacancies.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
California State Assembly Bill (AB) 2561 was approved on September 22, 2024, and added §3502.3 to the Government Code. This law requires public agencies to present the status of their vacancies in a public hearing before their governing body at least once per fiscal year. The presentation must be made prior to the adoption of a final budget for the fiscal year.
AB 2561 also provides that if vacancy rates in any recognized employee bargaining unit exceed 20% of positions, agencies must provide further specified information if requested by the bargaining unit. Further, AB 2561 requires agencies to provide an opportunity to bargaining units and the public to present their perspectives.
Vacancies
Position vacancies may occur for various reasons throughout any given year, including internal promotion or transfer of a staff member, retirements, resignations, terminations, or due to the approval of a new position. When vacancies occur, the City’s Department of Human Resources works with the affected department to fill the position(s) to maintain operations; ensure continued quality, efficient services to the community; and reduce the need for overtime.
At the present time, the City only has one management vacancy in the position of Director of Finance.
Recruitment and Retention of Staff
The City employs various recruitment strategies, including posting vacancies on the City’s website and recruitment portal as well as industry-specific job boards, reaching out to known
