AGENDA ITEM REPORT
To: City Council
Date: July 1, 2025
Department: Administrative Services
Prepared by: Geoffrey Buchheim, Administrative Services Director Subject: (Successor Agency) Request for Subordination of Statutory Pass-Through Payments in Connection with Proposed Issuance of Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds from the Successor Agency of the former County of Riverside Redevelopment Agency
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Acknowledgement of the request by the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency for the County of Riverside to subordinate the City of Desert Hot Springs’ Statutory Passthrough payments after the Successor Agency to the County former Redevelopment Area’s payment obligations for the 2025C Bonds.
BACKGROUND:
Due to AB1290 enacted in 1994, the City receives Statutory Pass-through Payments from the property tax increment revenue generated in the Mid-County Redevelopment Project area. Upon the dissolution of redevelopment agencies in 2012, those pass-through payments became an obligation to the Successor Agency to the former Redevelopment Agency for the County of Riverside. The obligations of a successor agency are paid from the property tax increment revenue from the former redevelopment agencies. The obligations are ranked by seniority for payment starting with contractual pass-through agreements, other senior obligations, debt service payments, and then statutory pass-through payments, depending on when the obligation was incurred. Additionally, California Health & Safety Code Section 34177.5 (c) provides that statutory pass-through payments may be subordinated to loans, bonds, or other indebtedness of the successor agency.
DISCUSSION:
The Successor Agency to the former Redevelopment Agency for the County of Riverside is proposing to issue Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds Series 2025C to refund the Series 2015C Bonds and Series 2016C Bonds. The Successor Agency believes there is a potential debt service savings with this refunding and California Health & Safety Code Section 34177.5 allows a successor agency to refinance outstanding bonds to achieve a savings in debt service payments. The Riverside Successor Agency is requesting all taxing entities in the Mid-County Redevelopment Project Area to subordinate their statutory pass-through payments to the new bonds. The County Successor Agency hired a consultant (Urban Analytics, Inc.) to prepare a Coverage Calculation Report, which is included as an attachment. The projected tax increment revenue calculated by Urban Analytics, assuming an annual 2% growth rate, will be more than enough to cover the subordinated statutory pass-through payments after all senior obligations are paid. For FY24-25, the remaining tax increment revenue Item Number: 16.
SR-25-173
after payment of senior obligations was able to cover the subordinated pass-through payments four times and is projected to continue to do so over the life of the new bonds. The County Successor Agency has requested a response by July 9, 2025, but if an affected taxing agency does not respond within 45 days of the request, the request will be deemed approved and will be final and conclusive.
Staff recommends approval of the subordination of the statutory pass-through payments to the new refunding bonds.
FISCAL IMPACT:
In FY24-25, the City received $173,591 in statutory pass-through payments from the County. The tax increment revenue would have to be reduced by almost 50% before it would become inadequate to cover all the obligations. That would be a very significant reduction in the assessed property values in the Mid-County Redevelopment Project Area for that to happen.

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
To: City Council
Date: July 1, 2025
Department: Administrative Services
Prepared by: Geoffrey Buchheim, Administrative Services Director Subject: (Housing Authority) Declaration that Nine (9) Vacant Parcels of Real Property are Exempt Surplus Land Pursuant to California Surplus Land Act RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution of the Desert Hot Springs Housing Authority Board of Directors declaring that nine (9) vacant parcels of real property identified as APNs 638-152-006, 639-182-051, 639-191-048, 639- 221-017, 641-092-034, 667-120-018, 667-120-020, 667-120-021 and 667-120-022 are exempt surplus land pursuant to the California Surplus Land Act (Government Code § 54220 et seq.) and finding that such declaration is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, and taking related actions.
BACKGROUND:
The attached Resolution concerns nine (9) vacant parcels of real property identified as APNs 638- 152-006 (66275 Avenida Cadena) (6,970 sq. ft.), 639-182-051 (66184 6th Street) (6,534 sq. ft.), 639- 191-048 (66236 5th Street) (9,583 sq. ft.), 639-221-017 (6615 4th Street) (6,534 sq. ft.), 641-092-034 (Hacienda Ave, west of Palm Drive and east of Cactus Dr) (6,534 sq. ft.), 667-120-018 (north of Pierson Blvd. and east of Worsley Rd.) (11,326 sq. ft.), 667-120-020 (north of Pierson Blvd. and east of Worsley Rd.) (11,326 sq. ft.), 667-120-021 (north of Pierson Blvd. and east of Worsley Rd.) (11,762 sq. ft.) and 667-120-022 (north of Pierson Blvd. and east of Worsley Rd.)(10,455 sq. ft.) (the “Parcels”) as depicted and confirmed on the Assessor’s parcel maps and aerial view maps included within Exhibit “A” to the attached Resolution.
The Parcels were originally acquired by the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Desert Hot Springs (the “Former RDA”) as affordable housing assets and subsequent to the dissolution of the Former RDA the Parcels were transferred to the Desert Hot Springs Housing Authority (the “Authority”) in its capacity as the Successor Housing Agency to the Former RDA pursuant to the California Department of Finance-approved Desert Hot Springs Housing Assets List. Consistent with California Government Code (“GC”) §§ 54221 (f) (1) (B) and 54222.3, the Parcels are exempt surplus land with respect to the California Surplus Land Act (the “SLA”), because they are less than one-half acre in size (i.e., less than 21,780 sq. ft.) and are not contiguous to land owned by a state or local agency that is used for open space or low- and moderate-income housing purposes.
DISCUSSION:
Pursuant to §§ 103 (c) and 400 (e) of the Updated HCD Guidelines (dated August 1, 2024), any determination by a local agency that its surplus lands are exempt from the SLA must provide HCD Item Number: 17.
SR-25-170
with a copy of the resolution (or other documentation recording a formal action by the governing body), at least 30 days prior to disposition, declaring a property exempt surplus land together with written findings and evidence supporting such declaration. Further, in accordance with GC § 54221 (f) (2), the Parcels are not: i) located within a coastal zone; ii) adjacent to a historical unit of the California State Parks system; iii) listed on, or determined by the California State Office of Historical Preservation to be eligible for, the National Register of Historic Places; and iv) within the Lake Tahoe region as defined by GC § 66905.5.
Once the exemption is concurred in by HCD, the Authority may sell or lease the Parcels without any further SLA conditions, which is currently envisioned to include transfers to Habitat for Humanity of the Coachella Valley. Approval of the attached Resolution will confirm the Authority’s declaration that the Parcels are exempt surplus land consistent with GC §§ 54221 (f) (1) (B) and 54222.3 and § 103 (c) of the Updated HCD Guidelines and in this matter, the Assessor’s parcel maps appended to the Resolution as Exhibit “A” confirms the size of the Parcels. Subsequent to the approval of the Resolution, staff will submit a copy of it to HCD pursuant to §§ 103 (c) and 400 (e) of the Updated HCD Guidelines.
The attached Resolution has been reviewed with respect to the applicability of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code § 21000 et seq.) (the “CEQA”). Staff has determined that the Authority’s declaration that the Parcels are exempt surplus land does not have the potential for creating a significant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from further review under CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines § 15060(c)(3) because it is not a project as defined by the CEQA Guidelines § 15378. Adoption of the attached Resolution does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. If and when the Parcels are sold to a purchaser and that purchaser proposes a use for the Parcels that requires a discretionary permit and CEQA review, that future use and project will be analyzed at the appropriate time in accordance with CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of the attached Resolution does not have a fiscal impact. However, if in the future the Parcels are sold, the net land sales proceeds derived from the sale will be deposited in the Authority’s Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund to be used for affordable housing purposes.

Authorize the City Manager to execute a First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Smith Garson, Inc. (formerly Smith Dawson and Andrews, Inc.) for Federal Advocacy Services for an additional two-year term in an amount not to exceed $72,000.00 per year.
BACKGROUND:
In April 2018, the City entered into an agreement with Federal Advocates to provide the City with Federal Advocacy Services.

Since then, Mr. Odendahl has moved to Smith Garson, Incorporated (formerly Smith Dawson and Andrews, Incorporated) where he continues to provide the same services per the scope of service.
DISCUSSION:
In order to maintain continuity and continue progress forward, staff recommends the City extend the existing contract between Smith Garson, Inc. (formerly Smith Dawson and Andrews, Inc.) and the City of Desert Hot Springs for Federal Advocacy Services in the amount not to exceed $72,000.00 per year for a two-year term.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$72,000.00 per year for the next two years. This Amendment to Professional Services Agreement will be funded through Contract Services in General Fund account no. 100-4230-41-11-0000. Sufficient budget appropriations have been included in the FY25-26 and FY26-27 budgets as adopted by City Council.

Prepared by: Steven Shaw, Police Chief
Subject: Police Department Patrol Vehicle Purchase
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize staff to purchase two (2) Ford Police Interceptor vehicles from Palm Springs Motors for a total cost of $109,459.18.
BACKGROUND:
The average useful life of a police patrol vehicle is typically five years and/or 100,000 miles. The current patrol fleet consists of vehicles from 2014 through 2022 with seven of the vehicles between 80,000 and 113,000 miles. Historically, police department fleet vehicles have been purchased or leased under contracts approximately every four years as the replacement window, including detective and administration vehicles. The police department currently utilizes patrol vehicles purchased in 2013, 2017 and 2021; however, these vehicles incur extensive repair and maintenance costs, frequent and simultaneous down times with longer durations. The other obstacle with managing and maintaining an older fleet is it limits the number of patrol units available for the officers to use.
The purchasing and procurement of police rated vehicles has been increasingly difficult and challenging, especially since 2020 with the onset of the pandemic. There were many problems encountered that delayed the production of vehicles during that time, making them a scarcity to obtain. The police department has been fortunate to be able to secure a few additional units during the last several years, due to other agencies cancelling part of their orders and timing on our part.
The standard ordering process for police vehicles takes place during a determined ordering window for the upcoming model year. The timeframe to receive the vehicle can range anywhere from 3-9 months depending on the determined ordering timeframe. In addition, the vehicle then needs to be outfitted, adding additional time before the unit is completed and ready for patrol.
After a review and analysis of the police department fleet, staff determined the most efficient replacement plan for the vehicles would be to purchase several patrol units and administrative/detective vehicles on a fiscal year, as needed basis.
DISCUSSION:
The Fiscal Year 2025/2026 and Fiscal Year 2026/2027 proposed budgets were adopted by City Council at the June 17, 2025, City Council meeting. Funds were appropriated to purchase new vehicles for the Police Department fleet. Staff initially inquired with National Auto Fleet Group, a Item Number: 20.

vendor under the Sourcewell master vehicle contract, on the purchase of two Ford Police Interceptor Utility vehicles. National Auto Fleet Group provided a delivery window of 6-9 months. Staff inquired with other vendors on availability and price. Palm Springs Motors located two Ford Police Interceptor Utility vehicles available for immediate transfer to their location. Palm Springs Motors agreed to discount the vehicle price to $54,729.59 per vehicle, matching the National Auto Fleet Group price.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact for this purchase is $109,459.18. Funding is allocated in Fiscal Year 2025/2026 in Account No. 245-5030-42-23-0000.

City Council
AGENDA ITEM REPORT
To: City Council
Date: July 1, 2025
Department: Public Works
Prepared by: Daniel Porras, Deputy City Manager
Subject: Approval of City's Title VI Program
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the City's Title VI Program.
BACKGROUND:
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a Federal Law that prohibits recipients and sub-recipients of Federal financial assistance (federal grant funds) from discrimination on the basis of race, color, and national origin, in their programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance.
Under Title VI, the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) has the responsibility to provide oversight of recipient, enforce their compliance with Title VI. As part of this new law the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) issued Office Bulletin 24-06. Office Bulletin 24-06 provided new regulations as it pertains to Title VI of the Civil Rights of 1964 (Title VI) program requirements, and was incorporated into Section 9.2 of the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM).
DISCUSSION:
While the City already has internal policies in place to ensure non-discrimination, as a sub-recipient of federal grant funds the City is now required to comply with new requirements of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, by developing a Title VI Program.
The City's Title VI Program is attached as Exhibit 1 and includes the following items/information:
Title VI Information, Resources, and Documents
Non-Discrimination Policy Statement
Non-Discrimination Legislation
City’s Organization Structure and Assigned Roles and Responsibilities Compliant Form with Procedure

A Limited English Proficiency (LEP) person is a person that does not speak English as a primary language and has a limited ability to read, write, or comprehend English. Per Executive Order 13166, agencies which receive Federal funding must examine their Federally-funded services and develop and implement processes that will allow LEP persons to meaningfully access said services. Executive Order 13166 also requires that agencies receiving Federal funding must establish guidance for providing meaningful access to LEPs, prepare a plan to overcome language barriers in Federally-funded programs and activities, and ensure that stakeholders have adequate opportunity to provide input.
As shown in Table 1 above, 14.7% of residents in Desert Hot Springs are considered LEP persons, with the majority of those LEP persons primarily speaking Spanish (46.8 % of the community), other Indo-European Languages (1.3 % of the community), and Asian and Pacific Island Languages (1.5% of the community). As outlined in the City’s LEP Plan (Appendix A), the City has conducted an LEP Needs Assessment, using a Four Factor Item Number: 22.
8 Analysis to identify need and provide access to the LEP community in compliance with Executive Order 13166.
Title VI Information Dissemination
In order to ensure that Title VI and related Civil Rights information is readily available to the public, the City will develop public notices consisting of posters, flyers, complaint forms and “I Speak” cards that are available in English and Spanish. The languages selected for the informational materials were based upon language data provided from the US Census; see Table 1 above. Said flyers and posters will be placed in the City Hall lobby in a highly visible and accessible location, and available at the front counter.
The public notices will also be available for viewing on the City’s website, at www.cityofdhs.org .
Environmental Justice
In accordance with Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations), City Staff will identify and address the environmental effects of programs, policies, and activities on minority and low-income populations for Federally-funded projects. Staff will consider demographic data during project design and involve the public in the planning and development process to assess the environmental impacts of projects on the community. The public’s input and demographic data analysis will enable staff to develop measures to mitigate any potential adverse effects on minority and low-income populations.
Data Collection and Analysis
Demographic and related data collected and used by City staff comes from governmental sources responsible for collecting and vetting the information for consistency and accuracy. These sources include, but are not limited to, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statics,
U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, California Department of Finance, California Department of Labor, and the California Employment Development Department.
Additionally, staff may also collect project-specific demographic data utilizing data collection as appropriate through the public outreach process on Federally-funded projects. Such outreach that may give Staff the opportunity to collect demographic data may include door hangers, posters, emails, social media releases, press releases to local newspaper, public meetings, virtual meetings, and public comment through websites generated for projects.
Contract Documents and Agreements
The City’s Title VI Specialist and/or Title VI Liaison will ensure that any Federallyfunded project documents contain the necessary Title VI Assurances and other Item Number: 22.
9 language. Such assurances include, but may not be limited to:
FHWA Form 1273 (Title VI and other non-discriminatory requirements) o Required on all FHWA contracts and subcontracts valued greater than $10,000
Title VI Assurances Appendix A-E
o Appendix A-E to be attached to Federal-Aid contracts
Additionally, City staff will include the provisions indicated in the "Administering AgencyState Agreement for Federal-Aid Projects Master Agreement” in the Local Assistance Program Manual (LAPM) in contracts and agreements, where applicable, between the City and contractors.
The City will continue to utilize the "Local Agency Construction Contract Administration Checklist" (Exhibit 15-A of the LAPM), which confirms that DBE and labor/Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) compliance requirements are performed and documented in the project files. Exhibit 15-A of the LAPM documents that the local agency will meet all the requirements prior to the award of a construction contract.
Lastly, the City will continue to utilize the "Resident Engineer’s Construction Contract Administration Checklist" (Exhibit 15-B of the LAPM) on federal-aid projects. The checklist assists in administering federal-aid highway construction projects and provides a record that the EEO/Wage Rate/False Statements posters are being posted at specific locations that employee interviews will be conducted in accordance with the Labor Compliance/EEO interview form, and that DBE requirements are met. City staff will continue to submit Exhibit 15-B, along with the Award Package shortly after award of the construction contract.
Training
The City of Desert Hot Springs Public Works Department will provide Title VI and related statute training to Public Works and Engineering Staff and staff with frequent public contact in the administration of federal-aid programs. These trainings will occur at minimum every two years, and within six months of hiring a new employee. The trainings will be conducted by the Title VI Coordinator and/or Specialist, online through presentations, or through trainings hosted by Caltrans. Additionally, links to Caltrans, FHWA, and other applicable agency resources for Title VI and related statutes will be posted on the City’s website at www.cityofdhs.org .

LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY PLAN
Item Number: 22.
12 LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY PLAN
Background
Executive Order 13166, “Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency” requires that Federal agencies work to ensure that the recipients of Federal financial assistance provide meaningful access to their Limited English Proficiency (LEP) applicants and beneficiaries.
As such, local agencies are required to ensure that Federally-funded programs and activities normally provided in English are accessible to LEP Persons. Each local agency shall perform an annual assessment to determine if modifications are needed to their programs and activities to ensure meaningful access by LEP persons. The assessment which is referred to as a “Four- Factor” analysis is based on the following factors:
1. The number or proportion of LEP persons eligible to be served or likely to be encountered.
2. The frequency of LEP contacts.
3. The nature and importance of the programs, services, or activities provided by the City of Desert Hot Springs.
4. The resources available for LEP persons
The City of Desert Hot Springs is situated in the Coachella Valley and has a population of approximately 32,512 (US Census: American Community Survey 2015-2019 5-Year Estimate). Of the 32.512 residents, approximately 46.8 % of the residents are Spanish speaking, 1.3% of the residents are Other Indo-European Language speaking, and 1.5% of the residents are Asian and Pacific Island language speaking. Based on the 46.8% Spanish speaking population in the City of Desert Hot Springs (estimated 14,000) it is safe to assume that English and Spanish are the two primary and secondary languages in Desert Hot Springs.
Four-Factor Analysis
1. The number or proportion of LEP persons eligible to be served or likely to be encountered.
As shown in Table 1 below, Desert Hot Springs has approximately 32,512 residents. 4,476 (14.7%) of residents in Desert Hot Springs are considered LEP persons, with the majority of those LEP persons primarily speaking Spanish (4,095, 99% of the community). The remaining 381 (0.8%) of the population speak Other Indo-European languages, Asian and Pacific Island languages or other languages.

4. The frequency of LEP contacts.
No data has been collected regarding frequency of contact with LEP persons at the City. Most interactions with LEP persons occur at the City’s City Hall front counter with the Community Development Department due to residents applying for building permits. Based on observation from Community Development front-counter staff, the frequency for translation from Spanish to English is on average two times times per day.
The frequency for translation from Other languages to English is on average once per year. Currently the City’s Human Resources Department retains a list which lists all City staff which are certified translators for various languages. The City currently has multiple Staff in the front counter and within each department that are certified Spanish language translators. If front counter staff that speak either Spanish or Other languages are not available, City staff will reach out to a certified translator from the list.
Public Works staff does not regularly receive requests for translation through Federally funded programs/projects, though the outreach components of said programs/projects are typically made available in bi-lingual languages, English and Spanish. Further, if translation services are requested, staff will provide said translation in a timely manner.
Item Number: 22.
14 5. The nature and importance of programs, services, or activities provided by the City of Desert Hot Springs.
From observation provided by Public Works staff, it is rare that translation services are requested for programs, services, or activities which are Federally-funded. Regardless, all outreach components of said programs/projects are typically made available in bilingual languages, English and Spanish. As stated above, the front counter Staff with the City’s Community Development Department are the ones who most frequently encounter LEP persons requesting and/or needing translation services.
Though Public Works Staff has received very few requests for translation services on Federally- funded projects, programs and services, Staff is keenly aware that almost fifteen percent of the City’s residents are LEPs and therefore it is highly likely that LEPs will be stakeholder in any of the said projects, programs and services. As such, Staff and consultants make all information available to the public bi-lingual (English and Spanish), and when Staff has encountered the need for additional translation services, Staff has provided the services readily.
6. The Resources Available for LEP persons.
After a review of the City’s currently available resources for LEP persons, the City has determined that the current available resources are lacking and inconsistent. The City will remedy the lackof resources, through the action plan listed in the next section.

Future Planning and Projects
o Public Works will ensure that all future projects and planning documents that are federally-funded utilize outreach methods that are compliant with Title VI and other related non-discriminatory assurances. o Additionally, the City will ensure that outreach materials are available in English, and Spanish, and that translators are readily available as necessary for any LEP Persons that would like to contribute or participate.
Lastly, the Title VI Specialist and/or Title VI Liaison will request an updated list of certified translators from the Human Resources Department annually, and distribute said list to those who are likely to encounter LEP persons, such that a translator can be contacted the moment one is needed.
To ensure continuous compliance, the City will review the Title VI Implementation Plan and Limited English Proficiency Plan regularly, but at a minimum, as new data from the US Census becomes available. As new regulations are created, the City will act promptly to update the existing plans and relevant resources.
