City of Desert Hot Springs
City Council
AGENDA ITEM REPORT
To: City Council
Date: June 20, 2023
Department: City Manager
Prepared by: Daniel Porras, Interim Deputy City Manager Subject: Tax Installment Agreement Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
Introduce for First Reading and read by title only: "An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Desert Hot Springs, California, adding Chapter 3.06 "Tax Installment Agreements" pertaining to certain types of taxes contained in Chapters 3.20, 3.33, 3.34, 3.35, and 3.37 ("Subject Tax Structures") of the Desert Hot Springs Municipal Code."
BACKGROUND:
As one of the first cities to allow for the legal cultivation, manufacturing, and sale of cannabis, Desert Hot Springs experienced a surge of industry related development. While the initial demand for cannabis related development in Desert Hot Springs was strong, the industry has recently experienced a lag in growth and in some cases has had negative impacts in existing businesses. Construction costs, significant decrease in wholesale flower prices, the illicit market, and more are placing added financial burden on operators. These challenges are not unique to Desert Hot Springs. In fact, the State of California suspended its cannabis cultivation tax in 2022 as a result of the strained market conditions.
The financial burden for some operators has proven to be too excessive and some cannabis businesses have recently closed, and in other cases some businesses have fallen behind in their tax obligation to the City.
In similar cases some Hotel operators may also experience a financial burden and start to fall behind on their Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) obligation to the City, and their businesses begin to fail.
In order to try to redeem all or partial tax obligations to the City from the cannabis businesses and from the hotels that have fallen behind on tax payments, Staff is proposing an Ordinance that will allow the City Manager to negotiate a tax installment agreement with individual operators.

Just beneath the surface exists both hot and cold aquifers that produce some of the world’s purest sources of healing mineral and drinking water. The hot mineral springs have been praised for their therapeutic attributes while the drinking water has been recognized as the world’s best in multiple international competitions.
Legal cannabis cultivation found its first California home in Desert Hot Springs. The City is now working to help shape the future of the industry by establishing therapeutic and recreational opportunities.
Additionally, Desert Hot Springs is one of just a few communities with ample opportunities for new development across all industry sectors.

Task 2: Marketing Strategy
Strategic planning is the compass that guides our efforts. The process of planning starts with meeting and collaborating with the client to discuss and determine goals and objectives for the quarter and contracted year based upon pre-established budgets.
During this process, we evaluate both the targeted audience and geographic markets we want to impact and will develop the overall marketing plan. At this juncture, we will also develop media one-sheets that contain all critical elements needed to satisfy key objectives. We will consider the use of all media vehicles based on the strategic plan, including but not limited to digital tactics (display, search, paid social and programmatic buys), network and cable television, OTT, terrestrial and digital radio, consumer and trade print, outdoor, specialty media, etc.
Throughout this process, we will be collaborating with the client and its collaborative partners to determine the best approach for the multi-phased marketing efforts. As we know, consumers (including our residents and businesses) are being inundated with hundreds of messages daily. Our strategic plan will ensure that we’re using key messaging delivered optimally to cut through the clutter and deliver the best results.
JNS Next is in constant communication with vendors and partners to ensure that all strategies reflect all new trends coming into the marketplace. We establish expectations, goals and objectives so that our media partners only come to us with third party sponsorships, value added and co-op opportunities that make sense for the client. The goal is always to stay one step ahead of the competition.
We will also collaborate to arrange critical documentation during the planning, execution and reconciliation phases of the marketing process, which will include creative assets, messaging tactics and geotargets, brand personas, media reports, flow charts, strategy decks, tactical one sheets, timelines, media budgets and invoices. We will provide ongoing psychographic information to address consumer attitudes and behavior within the identified markets. Additionally, our team will gather and supply all critical elements needed for various research initiatives, including creative assets, analytical reporting, tactics used, market information, flight/run dates, etc. We will also assess secondary research findings (as well as any research supplied by the client) to help determine brand advertising effectiveness, opportunities and needs. Extensive and ongoing research will also be supplied for potential new markets and consumers to effectively plan future strategies. Our research findings will help determine viable solutions and the best media vehicles for effectively and efficiently maximizing reach to the markets affiliated with your stakeholder partners, such as hotels, events, restaurants, and businesses.
Special opportunities such as exclusive partnerships arise when we least expect them sometimes, and we like to propose and negotiate these collaborations with our clients when we feel the timing and synergy is right.
Item Number: 13.
Our strategies and campaigns are always based off specific goals and industry benchmarks. We analyze and optimize our campaigns daily, always improving them to reach and exceed KPIs. Some measurements of success include, but are not limited to, impressions, clicks, time on site/content, engagement, click through rate, video completion percent, hotel bookings, revenue, total economic impact, open rate, newsletter signups, visitor guide requests/downloads, partner handoffs, pages per session, and more. We often use A/B testing of creative and messaging to determine what resonates best with our audiences. Looking at all these factors and understanding them on a deep level helps us distribute the right content, to the right person, at the right time. We are familiar with a variety of insight tools including Google Analytics, Adara, TripAdvisor MEI reports, Expedia reports, Sojern, Arrivalist, Basis, Nativo, SMARI, Tourism Economics, Uber Media, Symphony, VisaVue and more.

Branding is one of the most important aspects of any business because it represents who you are and what your organization stands for. If you were to personify your company, your brand is what it would look like as it reflects your personality, values and look that will attract the audience you are pursuing. Our creative team has a sensibility to the most minute element of a brand – from typography to the perfect shade of color. The visual aesthetic of how you represent your brand through design has the power to attract individuals, create emotions, and leave a lasting impression in your customer’s mind. We approach each design project like producing a blockbuster film. We make sure we combine top notch visuals with a killer script (in this case, ad copy) to bring a story to life. Regardless of the client or industry, our goal is always to evoke feelings that influence behaviors.

JNS Next shall perform all work requested and serve in partnership to collaborate and elevate key areas aimed to drive economic growth and conversation that enhances the image of the City of Desert Hot Springs’ community and expanding its opportunities.
Task 2: Marketing Strategy
Strategic planning is the compass that guides our efforts. The process of planning starts with meeting and collaborating with the client to discuss and determine goals and objectives for the quarter and contracted year based upon pre-established budgets.
During this process, we evaluate both the targeted audience and geographic markets we want to impact and will develop the overall marketing plan. At this juncture, we will also develop media one-sheets that contain all critical elements needed to satisfy key objectives. We will consider the use of all media vehicles based on the strategic plan, including but not limited to digital tactics (display, search, paid social and programmatic buys), network and cable television, OTT, terrestrial and digital radio, consumer and trade print, outdoor, specialty media, etc.
Throughout this process, we will be collaborating with the client and its collaborative partners to determine the best approach for the multi-phased marketing efforts. As we know, consumers (including our residents and businesses) are being inundated with hundreds of messages daily. Our strategic plan will ensure that we’re using key messaging delivered optimally to cut through the clutter and deliver the best results.
JNS Next is in constant communication with vendors and partners to ensure that all strategies reflect all new trends coming into the marketplace. We establish expectations, goals and objectives so that our media partners only come to us with third party sponsorships, value added and co-op opportunities that make sense for the client.
The goal is always to stay one step ahead of the competition.
We will also collaborate to arrange critical documentation during the planning, execution and reconciliation phases of the marketing process, which will include creative assets, messaging tactics and geotargets, brand personas, media reports, flow charts, strategy decks, tactical one sheets, timelines, media budgets and invoices. We will provide ongoing psychographic information to address consumer attitudes and behavior within the identified markets. Additionally, our team will gather and supply all critical elements needed for various research initiatives, including creative assets, analytical reporting, Item Number: 13.
tactics used, market information, flight/run dates, etc. We will also assess secondary research findings (as well as any research supplied by the client) to help determine brand advertising effectiveness, opportunities and needs. Extensive and ongoing research will also be supplied for potential new markets and consumers to effectively plan future strategies. Our research findings will help determine viable solutions and the best media vehicles for effectively and efficiently maximizing reach to the markets affiliated with your stakeholder partners, such as hotels, events, restaurants, and businesses.
Special opportunities such as exclusive partnerships arise when we least expect them sometimes, and we like to propose and negotiate these collaborations with our clients when we feel the timing and synergy is right.
Our strategies and campaigns are always based off specific goals and industry benchmarks. We analyze and optimize our campaigns daily, always improving them to reach and exceed KPIs. Some measurements of success include, but are not limited to, impressions, clicks, time on site/content, engagement, click through rate, video completion percent, hotel bookings, revenue, total economic impact, open rate, newsletter signups, visitor guide requests/downloads, partner handoffs, pages per session, and more. We often use A/B testing of creative and messaging to determine what resonates best with our audiences. Looking at all these factors and understanding them on a deep level helps us distribute the right content, to the right person, at the right time. We are familiar with a variety of insight tools including Google Analytics, Adara, TripAdvisor MEI reports, Expedia reports, Sojern, Arrivalist, Basis, Nativo, SMARI, Tourism Economics, Uber Media, Symphony, VisaVue and more.
Task 3: Social Media
JNS Next will provide the below interactive media marketing services for the organizations social media channels.

Social media remains a free networking and outreach tool to build awareness and an emotional rapport with an audience.

Branding and design is the DNA of your city, and compelling design elevates it to a whole new level. Branding is one of the most important aspects of any business because it represents who you are and what your organization stands for. If you were to personify your company, your brand is what it would look like as it reflects your personality, values and look that will attract the audience you are pursuing. Our creative team has a sensibility to the most minute element of a brand – from typography to the perfect shade of color. The visual aesthetic of how you represent your brand through design has the power to attract individuals, create emotions, and leave a lasting impression in your customer’s mind. We approach each design project like producing a blockbuster film. We make sure we combine top notch visuals with a killer script (in this case, ad copy) to bring a story to life. Regardless of the client or industry, our goal is always to evoke feelings that influence behaviors.

e. This section shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

Any failure or delay by a party in asserting any of its rights or remedies as to any default shall not operate as a waiver of any default or of any rights or remedies associated with a default.

In the event of a breach, the injured party shall be entitled to seek any appropriate remedy or damages by initiating legal proceedings.

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
To: City Council
Date: June 20, 2023
Department: Public Works
Prepared by: Nicholas Haecker, Public Works Director
Subject: Award Maintenance Contracts for Zone 1 and Zone 3 Landscape Maintenance Districts and Drainage Assessment Districts RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Manager to Award the Landscape Maintenance and Operations Services Contract for Zone 1 - Desert View and Zone 3 - Midtown, to the most qualified bidder Desert Concepts Construction, Inc.; and authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement between Desert Concepts Construction, Inc. and the City of Desert Hot Springs in the amount not to exceed $50,400.60 for Zone 1 and an amount not to exceed $226,156.80 for Zone 3, for landscaping and lighting, drainage and community facilities districts and other site maintenance.
BACKGROUND:
The City has 29 Landscape Maintenance Districts (LMD) and Drainage Assessment Districts (DAD) for various communities Citywide. Each LMD and DAD is maintained by the City, and funded by each corresponding community. In addition to the LMD's and DAD's, the City also maintains all city facilities, parks, and all street medians.
To create a more efficient and productive landscape maintenance program Citywide, Staff grouped the multiple Landscape Maintenance Districts (LMD) and Drainage Assessment Districts (DAD) into the following four (4) zones:
Zone 1 - Desert View
Zone 2 - West Desert Hot Springs
Zone 3 - Midtown
Zone 4 - East Desert Hot Springs
Geographical locations of the LMDs and DADs determined what districts went to which zones. The development of zones is to encourage new bidders to have a more focused scope of work, and competitive workmanship.
DISCUSSION:
On April 10, 2023, Staff issued a Request for Bid Proposals (RFP) for Landscape Maintenance and Operations services for each of the four zones. The Notice Inviting Bids was posted on the City’s website and with Planit Reprographics, a local valley clearing house for public bid solicitations.
Item Number: 15.
SR-23-147
On April 25, 2023, Staff held a pre-bid meeting where Staff gave expectations of the RFP, the scope of work, and reviewed in detail the selection process and scoring. All questions from the bidders in attendance were answered.
On May 9, 2023, proposals from three bidders were received for each of the four (4) Zones. Staff reviewed and scored each proposal based on the following scoring criteria:
• Contractor’s understanding and expectations of the RFP (20 points). • Contract’s prior experience (20 points).
o Deliverables: Submit references, past projects, past contracts, etc. • Contractor’s onsite staff qualifications (20 points). o Deliverables: Submit staff qualifications, resumes, etc. • Provide a complete staff work schedule (20 points).
o Deliverables: Submit staff schedule per location.
• Responsible cost to fulfill the RFP expectations (20 points).
All scores were tabulated, and the highest scoring and most qualified proposal was selected. After the most qualified bidder was selected, Staff reviewed and compared the total cost of services, and the results were as follows:
ZONE 1 - DESERT VIEW
RANKING BIDDER
1 Desert Concepts Construction, Inc.
2 Mariposa Landscapes, Inc.
3 Universal Green, LLC
ZONE 3 - MIDTOWN
RANKING BIDDER
1 Desert Concepts Construction, Inc.
2 Mariposa Landscape, Inc.
3 Universal Green, LLC
After Staff’s review, the most qualified bidder for Zone 1 and Zone 3 was determined to be Desert Concepts Construction, Inc. Staff then reviewed and compared the total costs and found Desert Concepts Construction, Inc.’s costs to be competitive when compared to the others. Staff verified the references submitted by Desert Concepts Construction, Inc. and all references that responded had positive comments.
Staff is recommending that the City Council award the Landscape Maintenance and Operation Services Contract for Zone 1 - Desert View and Zone 3 - Midtown, to the most qualified bidder, Desert Concept Item Number: 15.
SR-23-147
Construction, Inc. and authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement between Desert Concepts Construction, Inc. and the City of Desert Hot Springs in an amount not to exceed $50,400 for Zone 1 and an amount not to exceed $226,156.80 for Zone 3, for landscaping, lighting, drainage and community facilities districts and other site maintenance.
