AGENDA ITEM REPORT
To: City Council
Date: July 7, 2026
Department: Code & Cannabis Compliance
Prepared by: Emily Granados, Management Analyst
Subject: Resolution Affirming the Report of Public Nuisance Abatement Costs and Authorizing Placement of Unpaid Charges on the County Tax Roll RECOMMENDATION:
1) Staff Report;
2) Entertain questions to Staff from the City Council;
3) Open the Public Hearing;
4) Take public testimony from those in favor;
5) Take public testimony from those opposed;
6) Take public testimony from those in a neutral position; 7) Close the Public Hearing;
8) City Council discussion; and
9) Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Desert Hot Springs, California Ordering Confirmation of the Special Assessments.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Desert Hot Springs is responsible for issuing administrative citations and enforcing nuisance abatement on properties that are not in compliance with the Desert Hot Springs Municipal Code. When property owners fail to correct identified violations, the City may undertake the necessary abatement actions to protect the public health, safety, and welfare of the community.

To carry out this work, the City contracts with a qualified local specialist to perform the required corrective actions on affected properties. The City then seeks reimbursement from the property owner for the abatement costs incurred, with any applicable administrative or incidental expenses. If a property owner fails to pay these charges, the City may recover its costs by placing the unpaid amount as a lien against the property.

City staff is requesting City Council approval of a resolution affirming the report of public nuisance abatement costs, the collection of outstanding administrative citations, and authorizing the placement of unpaid abatement charges on the Riverside County tax roll for Fiscal Year 2025–2026. If approved, staff will submit the adopted resolution to the Riverside County Treasurer-Tax Collector for processing.

DISCUSSION:

Item Number: 5.

SR-26-157
The public nuisance abatement cost recovery process requires a public hearing before the City Council. The public hearing provides affected property owners an opportunity to present objections or comments regarding the abatement costs or outstanding administrative citations proposed to be assessed against their properties and allows the City Council to consider and confirm those costs.

Following the public hearing, the City Council may adopt a resolution for Fiscal Year 2025–2026 that would:
 Confirm the costs incurred by the City in performing nuisance abatement.  Establish that the unpaid abatement costs or collection of the outstanding administrative citations, in the amounts identified in the attached Exhibit "A", shall become liens against the respective properties.
 Direct staff to submit the adopted resolution to the Riverside County Treasurer-Tax Collector for the assessment amounts to be placed on the property tax roll and collected through the property tax bills.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of the proposed resolution will allow the City to recover unpaid nuisance abatement and outstanding administrative citation costs through the County’s property tax collection system. This process is intended to reimburse the City for costs incurred in abating public nuisance conditions, including applicable administrative and incidental expenses associated with each affected property.

For Fiscal Year 2025–2026, the projected amount to be recovered is $440,754.57. Code Compliance staff will continue to accept payments and payment arrangements for outstanding charges through August 10, 2026, before the final amounts are submitted for placement on the property tax roll.

The final assessment amounts identified in Exhibit " A" may be less than the preliminary amounts presented in this report.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

This Resolution is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines because there is no possibility that this Resolution or its implementation would have a significant negative effect on the environment.

STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT:

This initiative supports the following goals of the City's Strategic Plan:

Goal 5: Public Safety – Quality of Life
Balance the needs of the unhoused with the quality-of-life needs and concerns of the broader community.

Goal 11: Financial and Operations
Continue to provide fiscally sound operations via the ongoing evaluation of city processes and operational needs to maximize efficiency, streamline processes and eliminate bureaucracy, when possible, to deliver outstanding customer service and Item Number: 5.

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
To: City Council
Date: July 7, 2026
Department: City Attorney
Prepared by: Jennifer Mizrahi, City Attorney
Subject: Extension of Urgency Interim Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Desert Hot Springs Adopting a Moratorium on the Issuance of Any License, Permit, or Entitlement for the Establishment of Data Centers or Other Similar High Intensity Computing Uses Within the City of Desert Hot Springs RECOMMENDATION:
1) Staff Report;
2) Entertain Questions of Staff from the City Council;
3) Open the Public Hearing;
4) Take Public testimony of those in favor
5) Take Public testimony of those in opposition;
6) Take public testimony of those in a neutral position; 8) Close the Public Hearing;
9) City Council discussion and questions to Staff; and
10) Adopt (by four-fifths vote): "Extension of Urgency Interim Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Desert Hot Springs Adopting a Moratorium on the Issuance of Any License, Permit, or Entitlement for the Establishment of Data Centers or Other Similar High Intensity Computing Uses Within the City of Desert Hot Springs."
BACKGROUND:

Pursuant to the authority granted the City of Desert Hot Springs (“City”) by Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution, the City has the police power to regulate the use of land and property within the City in a manner designed to promote public convenience and general prosperity, as well as public health, welfare and safety. Adoption and enforcement of comprehensive zoning regulations and other land use regulations lies within the City’s police power.

Data centers and similar high-intensity computing uses may require extraordinary electrical demand, substation or transmission improvements, substantial cooling systems, backup generators, water and wastewater capacity, and 24-hour operations, and may thereby create or exacerbate land use compatibility, noise, air quality, greenhouse gas, public health, public safety, increase heat/temperature around the data center, emergency response, low human job/work generation, and infrastructure capacity concerns. Such concerns may be especially significant when these uses are proposed in proximity to residential neighborhoods, schools, parks, community facilities, and other sensitive land uses.

Item Number: 6.

SR-26-173
Under the Desert Hot Springs Municipal Code in Section 17.04.050(D), “data centers” are defined as an industrial building containing floor space that houses computer mainframes, servers, and IT equipment primarily for the purpose of storing data and distributing data stored on site. Data centers also contain all associated power distribution, cooling, cabling, fire suppression, and physical security systems. The Desert Hot Springs Municipal Code currently does not define “high -intensity computing uses”. The City’s existing General Plan, Municipal Code, zoning regulations, and other applicable land use regulations currently do not comprehensively regulate data centers and similar high-intensity computing uses, including with respect to their permissible locations, size and intensity, utility demand, water consumption, cooling systems, backup generation, buffering, noise, environmental performance, decommissioning, and community benefits.

The City Council intends within a reasonable time to study, consider, and potentially adopt amendments to the City’s General Plan, Municipal Code, zoning ordinance, specific plans, development standards, and other applicable regulations to address whether, where, and under what conditions data centers and similar high-intensity computing uses should be allowed within the City DISCUSSION:

The Proposed Ordinance
If approved, the proposed Ordinance would cause a temporary suspension of Data Centers and the like in all areas of the City. Further, no use permit, variance, building permit, or any other entitlement for use would be accepted, processed, approved or issued for the establishment or operation of data centers or high-intensity computing uses. Adopting such proposed Ordinance would allow adequate time for the City to consider, study, and enact regulations for same.

If passed, such proposed Ordinance would take effect immediately. In order to adopt such an ordinance, the following must be done:
1) Adoption requires a four-fifths vote of the city council; 2) The proposed Ordinance must contain findings, which are included with the proposed Ordinance, stating why the proposed Ordinance is needed to address a current and immediate threat to public health, safety, or welfare;
3) 10 days prior to the expiration of the proposed Ordinance or any extension thereof, the Council shall issue a written report describing the measures taken to alleviate the condition which led to the adoption of the proposed Ordinance
4) This extension would be for a maximum period of time up to 22 months and 15 days, for a total of 2 years.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

The City Council finds that adoption of this urgency interim ordinance is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Title 14 California Code of Regulations section Item Number: 6.

SR-26-173
15061, subsection (b)(3), in that the proposed ordinance involves a proactive measure to prohibit Data Centers in the City and does not have the potential to significantly impact the environment.

WHEREAS, the City Council intends within a reasonable time to study, consider, and potentially adopt amendments to the City’s General Plan, Municipal Code, zoning ordinance, specific plans, development standards, and other applicable regulations to address whether, where, and under what conditions data centers and similar highintensity computing uses should be allowed within the City; and WHEREAS, approval of new data centers or similar high-intensity computing uses, or the expansion or intensification of existing such uses, under the City’s current regulations during the period in which the City is studying and considering such policy and regulatory changes could result in developments that are inconsistent with or in conflict with the land use policies, zoning standards, infrastructure planning, or other regulations being contemplated, and could thereby frustrate or substantially undermine the effectiveness of any future updates; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that there is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare because, absent a temporary moratorium, applications for such uses may be accepted, processed, and approved under regulations that do not adequately address the potentially significant infrastructure, environmental, operational, and land use compatibility issues associated with such uses; and
WHEREAS, the City Council further finds that the approval of additional entitlements, permits, or other approvals for such uses during the period of study would result in that threat to the public health, safety, and welfare by allowing the commitment of land, utility capacity, water resources, and related infrastructure before the City can determine and adopt appropriate standards and safeguards; and WHEREAS, Government Code section 65858 authorizes the City Council to adopt an interim urgency ordinance prohibiting any uses that may be in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the City is considering, studying, or intends to study within a reasonable time; and WHEREAS, the City Council further finds that this urgency ordinance is narrowly tailored, in both scope and duration, by temporarily prohibiting the establishment, expansion, or intensification of data centers and similar high-intensity computing uses while the City considers appropriate policy and regulatory responses; and WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes that data centers and similar uses may provide certain economic benefits, but finds that it is in the public interest to temporarily pause new or expanded approvals until the City can comprehensively evaluate whether and under what conditions such uses are compatible with the City’s long-term land use, infrastructure, environmental, and community objectives; and Item Number: 6.

WHEREAS, the City Council desires to adopt this interim urgency ordinance, which shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by at least a four-fifths (4/5) vote of the City Council, and remain in effect for 22 months and 15 days; and WHEREAS, the City’s General Plan, Policy OS-3.13 requires the City to “[l]ink the City’s ability to approve projects and issue building permits to the water resource management agencies’ ability to manage resources consistent with approved water management plans, SGMA groundwater sustainability plans and Urban Water Management Plans”; and
WHEREAS, the City’s General Plan, Policy LU-1.1 requires the City to “[s]upport development and growth that balance residential, commercial, industrial, and open space uses in a manner that meet the needs of the community without overburdening community resources and infrastructure”; and
WHEREAS, the City’s General Plan, Policy MI-11.1, the City continues to “work with service providers to ensure adequate funding, service levels, equitable planning, and maintenance of utility services and physical infrastructures”; and WHEREAS, if the development of data centers were permitted without appropriate regulation, such use might be established in ways that could conflict the General Plan goals, conflict with surrounding uses, or be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare; and if data centers were allowed to proceed as allowed under the current zoning, such use could conflict with, and defeat the purpose of the City Council objectives to promote tourism, beautification and high-quality economic development; and
WHEREAS, City staff needs time to develop appropriate development standards and study data centers to properly address secondary negative effects and the business in general; and
WHEREAS, the local police power includes broad authority to determine, for purposes of public health, safety, and welfare, the appropriate uses of land within a local jurisdiction's borders; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires, on an urgency basis, to prohibit data centers in all zoning districts of the City; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858(d), ten days prior to the expiration of this interim ordinance or any extension, the City Council shall issue a written report describing the measures taken to alleviate the condition which led to the adoption of this ordinance (“65858(d) Report”); and
WHEREAS, on June 16, the City Council adopted the underlying ordinance titled, “Urgency Interim Ordinance Of The City Council Of The City Of Desert Hot Springs Item Number: 6.

Adopting A Moratorium On The Issuance Of Any License, Permit, Or Entitlement For The Establishment Of Data Centers Or Other Similar High Intensity Computing Uses Within The City Of Desert Hot Springs (“Underlying Ordinance”); and WHEREAS, the Underlying Ordinance is set to expire 45 days from June 16, 2026; and
WHEREAS, on July 7, 2026, the City Council held a public hearing on this current Ordinance which would extend the Underlying Ordinance 22 months and 15 days from July 7, 2026; and
WHEREAS, the City Council deems it necessary to extend the Ordinance by 6 months; and
WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 65858 provides the statutory authority and time limits for interim ordinances prohibiting any uses which may be in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan or a zoning proposal which the City plans to consider, study or intends to study within a reasonable time; and WHEREAS, Government Code section 36937 provides that the City may adopt an ordinance that takes effective immediately when adopted for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health or safety, providing the ordinance contains a declaration of the facts constituting the urgency, and is passed by a four-fifths vote of the city council.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of Desert Hot Springs as follows:

Section 1. RECITALS
That the foregoing recitals are true and correct and are herein adopted by this reference.

Section 2. EVIDENCE
That the City Council has considered all of the evidence at its meeting, which includes, but is not limited to, the following:
(a) The City's General Plan, including updates;
(b) The City’s Municipal Code;
(c) Strategic Plan;
(d) The staff report; and
(e) The public comments, both written and oral, received and/or submitted at, or prior to the City Council's consideration of this extension of urgency interim ordinance.

Section 3. FINDINGS
Item Number: 6.

That based on the foregoing recitals and evidence, the City Council finds as follows:
a) The recitals of this ordinance are hereby incorporated in this Section as findings. b) State law protects local licensing practices, zoning ordinances, and other local actions taken pursuant to the City’s constitutional police power. c) The local police power includes broad authority to determine, for purposes of public health, safety, and welfare, the appropriate uses of land within a local jurisdiction's borders.
d) Neighboring jurisdictions have received and the City reasonably anticipates receiving, applications, pre-applications, inquiries, and expressions of interest for new data centers and similar high-intensity computing uses, as well as for the expansion or intensification of existing such uses, and such proposals may be processed and approved under existing regulations in the absence of this interim Ordinance. e) Existing General Plan and zoning provisions do not comprehensively address whether, where, and under what conditions data centers and similar high-intensity computing uses should be permitted, nor do they establish adequate standards concerning location, size, utility demand, water use, cooling systems, backup generation, noise, buffering, environmental performance, public health and safety protections, or related operational characteristics.
f) Data centers and similar high-intensity computing uses may create substantial and unique impacts, including but not limited to significant electrical demand, increased water consumption, substantial mechanical cooling equipment, noise from cooling systems and generators, air emissions from backup generation, fire and life safety considerations, and demands on public infrastructure and emergency services. g) There is a reasonable likelihood that approvals granted during the City’s study and consideration of potential policy and regulatory changes would be in conflict with, or would substantially undermine, contemplated amendments to the General Plan, Municipal Code, zoning ordinance, specific plans, or other regulations regulating such uses.
h) There is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare because the City’s current regulatory framework does not adequately address the potential land use, environmental, utility, infrastructure, and operational impacts associated with data centers and similar high-intensity computing uses. i) The approval of additional subdivisions, use permits, variances, building permits, site development permits, grading permits, or any other applicable entitlement, permit, or approval for the establishment, expansion, or intensification of data centers or similar high-intensity computing uses during the City’s study period would result in the threat Item Number: 6.

described above by allowing such uses to proceed before appropriate standards and safeguards are established.
j) A temporary moratorium on the establishment, expansion, or intensification of data centers and similar high-intensity computing uses is necessary to maintain the status quo while the City completes its studies and considers any proposed policy and regulatory changes.
k) This Ordinance does not impair any vested rights legally obtained prior to the effective date of this Ordinance.
l) The adoption of this interim urgency ordinance is therefore necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety within the meaning of Government Code section 65858.

Section 4. CONCLUSIONS
That based on the foregoing recitals, evidence and findings, the City Council concludes as follows:
(a) It is necessary to temporarily suspend the processing of any application or approval of any permit, entitlement or license, for any kind of data center or similar highintensity computing use in any zoning district of the City and to allow adequate time for the City to consider, study, and enact regulations same. (b) A temporary moratorium will provide the City with time to consider, study, draft, and adopt proper zoning, uses, development standards and regulations regarding data centers and similar high-intensity computing uses in a manner that is consistent with the General Plan, Strategic Plan, and Municipal Code, compatible with surrounding neighborhoods, and in the best interests of the residents of the City.

Section 5. INTERIM MORATORIUM IMPOSED
For a period of 22 months and 15 days from July 7, 2026, commencing on the date of adoption of this Ordinance, no use permit, variance, building permit, or any other entitlement for use shall be accepted, processed, approved or issued for the establishment or operation of a data center or similar high-intensity computing use in any zoning district.

Section 6. URGENT NEED
Based on the foregoing recitals, evidence, findings and conclusions which are all deemed true and correct, this interim ordinance is urgently needed for the immediate preservation of the public safety, health, and welfare.

Section 7. REPORT
Item Number: 6.

Pursuant to Government Code Section 65858(e), ten (10) days prior to the expiration of this ordinance, the City Council shall issue a written report describing the measures taken to alleviate the condition which led to the adoption of this ordinance.

Section 8. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
The City Council finds that adoption of this urgency interim ordinance is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Title 14 California Code of Regulations section 15061, subsection (b)(3), in that the proposed ordinance involves a proactive measure to prohibit data centers and similar highintensity computing uses in all zoning districts does not have the potential to significantly impact the environment.

GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65858(d) REPORT

PUBLIC REPORT REGARDING THE STATUS OF THE CITY OF DESERT

HOT SPRINGS AN EXTENSION OF URGENCY INTERIM ORDINANCE OF

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DESERT HOT SPRINGS ADOPTING A

MORATORIUM ON THE ISSUANCE OF ANY LICENSE, PERMIT, OR

ENTITLEMENT FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF DATA CENTERS OR OTHER

SIMILAR HIGH INTENSITY COMPUTING USES WITHIN THE CITY OF

DESERT HOT SPRINGS
On June 16, 2026, the City Council of the City of Desert Hot Springs adopted Interim Urgency Ordinance adopting a moratorium on the issuance of any license, permit, or entitlement for data centers and high intensity computing uses (collectively “Data Centers”) in the City (“Underlying Ordinance”). That Underlying Ordinance initiated a 45-day moratorium on Data Centers the City.

The City desires to study the location, operation, and potential impacts of Data Centers to ensure that such uses are established, conducted, or possibly banned in a manner consistent with the City's General Plan, Strategic Plan, and other plans with respect to permissible locations, size and intensity, utility demand, water consumption, cooling systems, backup generation, buffering, noise, environmental performance, decommissioning, and community benefits. Accordingly, the City must evaluate appropriate zoning regulations, locational criteria, development standards, and a possible ban applicable to Data Centers to ensure consistency with the vision and policy objectives of the City Council.

The Underlying Ordinance was adopted to protect the public health, safety, and welfare while the City evaluates the potential impacts of Data Centers and considers appropriate regulatory measures. Pursuant to Government Code section 65858(d), the City has prepared this report describing the measures undertaken to alleviate the conditions that led to the adoption of the Underlying Ordinance.

RESEARCH
Since adoption of the Underlying Ordinance, City staff has been engaged in researching and analyzing the potential impacts of Data Centers and evaluating development standards necessary to ensure consistency with the Strategic Plan and other applicable City policies. Such efforts include the review of land use compatibility, commercial impacts, zoning considerations, development standards, possible bans, other planning-related issues associated with Data Centers. As reflected in the Underlying Ordinance, the City Council expressed a desire to study the appropriateness of Data Centers within the City and to evaluate whether additional regulations, or even a ban, are necessary to further the City's planning and economic development objectives. In connection with these efforts, City staff is evaluating the potential land use, environmental impacts, economic impacts, community, and development impacts associated with Data Centers, as well as potential zoning regulations and development standards that may be appropriate.

Consistent with the Underlying Ordinance, any approvals/permit etc. for Data Centers subject to the ordinance are suspended pending completion of the City's study and consideration of appropriate regulatory measures. This temporary suspension allows the City Council adequate opportunity to review relevant information, policy options, and consider long-term goals, policies, and development standards applicable to such uses.

The Underlying Ordinance was adopted to provide staff with time to conduct necessary research and analysis, including land use analyses, development standards, traffic and Item Number: 6.

circulation analyses, and other efforts necessary to evaluate the potential impacts of Data Centers on the City.

The interim prohibition adopted by the City Council on June 16, 2026, will expire within forty-five (45) days. Because it is not feasible to complete the necessary studies and analyses prior to the expiration of the current ordinance, and the Underlying Ordinance should be extended for an additional 22 months and 15 days. Based upon the foregoing, and consistent with Government Code section 65858(c), the City Council finds and determines that there remains a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare, and that the approval of any permits, entitlements, or land use approvals for Data Centers could result in uses that may be inconsistent with the City's ongoing planning efforts and would therefore exacerbate such threat to the public health, safety, and welfare.

Prepared by: Daniel Porras, Deputy City Manager
Subject: Street School Safety Plan for Avenida Jalisco and Painted Hills Middle School and Bella Vista Elementary School
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Adopt the Street School Safety Plan for Avenida Jalisco; and 2) Authorize Staff to implement Phase 1 of the Safety Plan now, and explore how to secure funding sources for the implementation of Phase 2.

BACKGROUND:

Over the past few years, the City and Palm Springs Unified School District have been working together in addressing safety concerns that have been reported by residents and parents, for street safety in the surrounding areas of Painted Hills Middle School and Bella Vista Elementary School.

More specifically, concerns related to pedestrian and vehicular safety during the morning and afternoon school peak periods.

To evaluate existing traffic and pedestrian safety conditions surrounding the Painted Hills Middle School and Bella Vista Elementary School, the City commissioned the preparation of a Street School Safety Plan. The safety plan would analyze traffic data, accident data, complete field analysis of existing infrastructure, complete field observation of traffic and pedestrian patterns during peak school hours, and provide recommendations for safety improvements.

DISCUSSION:

In March 2025 the City released a Request for Proposals for the completion of a Street School Safety Plan for Avenida Jalisco and Painted Hills Middle School and Bella Vista Elementary School. Three (3) proposals were received, evaluated, and scored by various City Staff, and NV5 was selected as the highest qualified consultant to complete the safety plan. A draft plan was submitted by NV5 and reviewed by the City, and comments provided. The City’s third-party Traffic Engineer also reviewed the plan and provided comments. Those comments have now been addressed, and the final plan is ready to be approved and adopted by the City.

The Street School Safety Plan provides findings of the existing conditions analysis, with recommendations to improve safety for all road users. In order to efficiently implement and prioritize the improvements, the recommendations were organized into two phases, Phase 1 - Short-term implementation plan, Phase 2 – Long-term . The following is a summary of the recommended improvements;
Item Number: 7.

2 INTRODUCTION
This report was prepared for the City of Desert Hot Springs, California, to document existing conditions along Avenida Jalisco and Sonora Drive adjacent to Painted Hills Middle School and Bella Vista Elementary School, and to develop recommendations to improve street safety within the study area. To evaluate existing conditions, NV5 collected vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic data; conducted field investigations to observe roadway conditions and traffic patterns during school peak hours; reviewed and analyzed available collision data; and performed traffic operations analyses at the study intersections under school peak hour conditions.

Based on the findings of the existing conditions analysis, a set of recommendations was developed to improve safety for all road users, with particular emphasis on school arrival and dismissal operations. To facilitate efficient implementation and funding prioritization, the recommendations are organized into two phases. Phase 1 focuses on near-term, low-cost improvements, including school safety signage and operational enhancements that can be implemented prior to construction.

Phase 2 includes longer-term infrastructure improvements intended to provide permanent safety and accessibility benefits.

All recommendations were developed in accordance with the Six E’s of the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) framework: Education, Encouragement, Engineering, Enforcement, and Equity. The recommendations also adhere to applicable guidance and standards, including the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD), Revision 9; the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Guide for Improving Pedestrian Safety at Uncontrolled Crosswalks; the 2018 Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets (7th Edition, AASHTO Green Book); the California Active Transportation Resource Center (ATRC) Safe Routes to School initiative; and the National Safe Routes to School Guide.

10 AM School Operations
Painted Hills Middle School: Vehicles parked primarily on Avenida Jalisco for school drop-off, with some minimal parking on Sonora Drive. Vehicles would stop on the north or south side of Avenida Jalisco, then U-turn or three-point turn after student drop-off. Driveways were not used very often.

Few students were observed walking to school. No crossing guards were present.

Bella Vista Elementary School: Bella Vista Driveway (East) was used for drop-off. Queuing spilled onto Avenida Jalisco, mostly east of the driveway. Bella Vista Driveway (West) was used for school buses.

Vehicles that couldn’t be accommodated in the parking lot queue parked on Avenida Jalisco and made U-turns or three-point turns after drop-off to continue their drive. Some speeding was observed. Adult pedestrians were observed crossing southbound across Avenida Jalisco after dropoff. Few students were observed walking to school. No crossing guards were present.

PM School Operations
Painted Hills Middle School: Operations were similar to AM drop-off, but with more vehicles using Sonora Drive. Street parking was still heavier on Avenida Jalisco than on Sonora Drive. Traffic on Sonora Drive caused stop-controlled westbound vehicles on Avenida Jalisco to form an 8- to 10- vehicle queue. Students were observed crossing Avenida Jalisco to get to vehicles parked on the south side of the street. Frequent U-turns or three-point turns and southbound pedestrian crossings caused traffic congestion. Few students were observed walking from school; most crossed the street to reach parked vehicles. No crossing guards were present.

Bella Vista Elementary School: Queuing on Avenida Jalisco was worse during PM than during AM operations. The east driveway was again used for vehicle circulation, A near-miss collision between a vehicle turning left into the east driveway and a vehicle exiting the driveway was observed. Frequent U-turns were made at the east driveway when vehicle queuing prevented entry. Parents and students crossed Avenida Jalisco to vehicles parked on the south side of Avenida Jalisco. Few students were observed walking from school. A crossing guard directed vehicle and pedestrian traffic at the east driveway. When the heaviest pick-up traffic had subsided, some instances of speeding were observed.

2. Mission Lakes Boulevard and West Drive
Traffic camera footage was reviewed to observe vehicle drop-off and pick-up operations and pedestrian routes. Complete turning movement data can be found in Appendix B.

Pedestrian Volumes
Pedestrian volumes were counted at each location during school pick-up and drop-off hours. Traffic camera footage was also reviewed to identify the various routes used by students from each direction. Table 2 summarizes the peak hour pedestrian counts at each location during traffic data collection. Figure 16 illustrates the existing pedestrian routes identified from camera footage and the peak hour volumes. The highest pedestrian activity was observed at midblock locations, near the school driveways on Avenida Jalisco. Additionally, multiple pedestrians were observed crossing southbound on Mission Lakes Boulevard despite the lack of adequate pedestrian facilities, such as sidewalks or curb ramps, on the south side of the roadway.

Sight Distance Analysis
Sight distance at the study intersections and school driveways was evaluated based on values provided in Tables 9-6 and 9-7 of the AASHTO guide: A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, 7th Edition (2018). The following cases were evaluated:

Case B1 – Left Turn from the Minor Road
Case B2 – Right Turn from the Minor Road
In accordance with AASHTO guidelines in Tables 9-6 and 9-7 of A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 7th Edition (2018), the decision point for each sight triangle from the minor road was placed 14.5 feet from the major road traveled way. The Design Intersection Sight Distance values from Tables 9-6 and 9-7 are shown in Table 3 for each study intersection. Based on field investigations and AASHTO standards, the sight distance is adequate at each study intersection and driveway.

TRAFFIC ANALYSIS
Highway Capacity Software (HCS) was used to provide a traffic analysis of the study intersections.

Average vehicular delays (in seconds) were calculated and reported as Levels of Service (LOS), as defined by the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 7th edition. LOS A through F are used to rate intersection operations, with LOS A indicating minimal or no delays and LOS F indicating the longest delays. LOS D or better is generally considered acceptable. Table 5 provides the Existing AM and PM peak hour capacity and queuing results at each intersection.

All study intersections operate at an acceptable LOS except for the westbound movements at Avenida Jalisco and West Drive, which operate at LOS E during the PM peak hour. The volume-tocapacity (V/C) ratio for this lane, which represents the ability of a lane to sufficiently accommodate the vehicular demand, is 0.4. Generally, a V/C ratio of less than 0.85 indicates that the lane can sufficiently accommodate vehicular demand without unacceptable delays or queuing. A lower LOS is generally expected for a stop-controlled movement when there are high traffic volumes on the major street. However, installing all-way stop-control at this intersection would improve traffic operations during peak hours and create safer conditions for pedestrians crossing West Drive at Avenida Jalisco. Table 5 provides the mitigated capacity and queuing results for the intersection with all-way stop-control.

Complete capacity and queueing results are shown in Appendix D.

SCHOOL FLASHING BEACON WARRANT
According to Chapter 4L-101 of the CA MUTCD (Revision 9), flashing beacons may be installed at school crosswalks if all of the following conditions are met:

A. The uncontrolled school crossing is on the “Suggested Route to School”; and B. At least 40 school pedestrians use the crossing during each of any two hours (not necessarily consecutive) of a normal school day; and
C. The crossing is at least 600 feet from the nearest alternate crossing controlled by traffic signals, stop signs or crossing guards; and
D. The vehicular volume through the crossing exceeds 200 vehicles per hour in urban areas or 140 vehicles per hour in rural areas during the same hour the students are going to and from school during normal school hours; and
E. The critical approach speeds exceeds 35 mph or the approach visibility is less than the stopping sight distance.

Although pedestrians currently do not have a designated crosswalk on Avenida Jalisco near the two schools, the total pedestrian peak hour volumes counted crossing Avenida Jalisco between the Painted Hills driveway and east of the Bella Vista driveways were considered for this warrant since a designated crosswalk with a flashing beacon would serve to consolidate these volumes to one location. All of the conditions listed above were satisfied except for E. Therefore, a flashing beacon is not warranted at any potential crosswalk on Avenida Jalisco according to CA MUTCD (Revision 9) guidance. The complete worksheet used for this warrant can be found in Appendix E.

The FHWA Guide for Improving Pedestrian Safety at Uncontrolled Crosswalks was also used to determine the best crossing enhancements to consider on Avenida Jalisco. Table 1 from this guide indicates that Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) are not generally appropriate for 2-lane streets with speed limits equal to or less than 30 mph and Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) less than 9000 vehicles. Although AADT data was not available for the study streets, the peak hour volumes during school days were used to estimate an average daily traffic volume of less than 9000.

Based on Table 1 from the FWHA Guide, the applicable enhancements that should be considered for the school include “high-visibility crosswalk markings, parking restrictions on crosswalk approach, adequate nighttime lighting levels, and crossing warning signs.” To ensure that nighttime lighting levels are adequate, any lighting installation should be designed to provide vertical illuminance of at least 20 lux, measured at 5 feet above the street surface at each crossing, according to guidance provided in the American National Standards Institute/Illuminating Engineering Society (ANSI/IES) Recommended Practice RP-8-25.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Avenida Jalisco and Sonora Drive adjacent to Painted Hills Middle School and Bella Vista Elementary School currently lack sufficient pedestrian facilities, pavement markings, and traffic control signage.

Curb, gutter, and sidewalks are absent along most of the south side of Avenida Jalisco and no marked crosswalks are present near the schools. Speed limit signs are not installed on Avenida Jalisco, and only non-standard school crossing signs are present on either study street. Bicycle facilities are also absent from the study area.

Current drop-off and pick-up operations are disorganized, resulting in heavy queuing along Avenida Jalisco, frequent U-turns, and unsafe midblock pedestrian crossings at multiple locations along Avenida Jalisco. These conditions create avoidable conflicts between vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists during school peak hours.

A review of the most recent five years of available collision data did not identify any contributing factor trends related to insufficient lighting or traffic control. No pedestrian or bicycle collisions were reported, and all three reported collisions were classified as side-swipe collisions. During field investigations, a near-miss collision was observed at the east Bella Vista Elementary driveway during the PM peak period. Sight distance was found to be satisfactory at each study intersection and school driveway based on field measurements.

Traffic operations were generally satisfactory under school peak hour conditions, with each study intersection operating at an LOS D or better, except for the westbound movement at Avenida Jalisco and West Drive during the AM peak hour. Speeding vehicles were observed during field observations, particularly in the afternoon after the heaviest school pick-up traffic had subsided.

To address identified safety concerns and improve multimodal access, the recommended improvements are organized into two implementation phases. Phase 1 includes near-term, low-cost measures focused primarily on school safety signage and operational improvements that can be implemented prior to any construction. Phase 2 consists of longer-term infrastructure improvements, including pavement markings, pedestrian facilities, traffic calming measures, and lighting enhancements. All recommended countermeasures are shown in Appendix F.

In accordance with the California Safe Route to Schools (SRTS) initiative, the following programmatic elements should be considered as improvements are implemented:
 Education
Parents and students should be informed of changes to school pick-up and drop-off operations through school and/or City outreach. Information on safe walking, biking and driving behaviors may be integrated into school curriculum and parent/student resources. Supplemental singing and informational flyers may be posted to clearly communicate the circulation plan for drop-off and pick-up operations.
 Encouragement
Providing safe and comfortable pedestrian and bicycle facilities encourages healthier travel to and from school. Programs such as mileage clubs, walking and biking safety training, and Walk or Bike to School Days may be implemented to further promote active transportation.

Item Number: 7.

20 Desert Hot Springs Street School Safety Plan
NV5-3125109.00
 Equity
Accessible pedestrian facilities that comply with the current Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) should be provided at all walkways and crossings to ensure that all students, parents, and school faculty have safe and efficient access to school facilities.  Enforcement
To support compliance with school traffic rules and reinforce safe behavior, the following measures should be considered:

Deployment of trained crossing guards at school driveways and pedestrian crossings during school peak hours
Implementation of Student Safety Patrols, with appropriate adult supervision and school approval
Periodic law enforcement presence during drop-off and pick-up periods to monitor behavior and enforce traffic laws
 Engineering
Facilities should be designed and constructed using current engineering standards and best practices. The following measures may be considered:

Development of a School Travel Plan with updated pick-up and drop-off operations High visibility crosswalks and warning signs
Edge line striping to visually narrow travel lanes and encourage lower speeds.

School pavement markings and posted speed limit signage Pedestrian and biking facilities designed to accommodate large groups Speed Feedback Signs (if initial signing and striping improvements are not successful in reducing speeds)
PHASE 1 RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS
The following sections detail the School Travel Plan and recommend measures that can be implemented prior to any infrastructure improvements. These include replacement and/or installation of new school safety signage to optimize school drop-off and pick-up operations.

School Travel Plan (STP)
Updating the drop-off and pick-up vehicle operations at both schools in the study area is recommended. The existing driveways and parking lots should be fully utilized to shift vehicle queues out of the street as much as possible. Figures 15 and 16 illustrate the suggested vehicle routes for Bella Vista Elementary and Painted Hills Middle School, respectively.

Proposed pedestrian and bicyclist facilities are shown in Appendix F and detailed under Phase 2 Recommended Improvements. These facilities will provide safer and more efficient multi-modal access to both schools from the surrounding neighborhoods. Crossing guards should be employed at the marked school crosswalks in front of each school along Avenida Jalisco to direct traffic and ensure safe student crossings.

PHASE 2 RECOMMEND IMPROVEMENTS
Phase 2 improvements focus on permanent infrastructure enhancements intended to provide longterm safety and operational benefits. These recommendations typically require additional design, coordination, and funding, and build upon the operational and signage improvements implemented in Phase 1 to further enhance pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular safety in the school area.

High Visibility Crosswalks
Per California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 21368, crosswalks near schools should be marked in yellow. High-visibility crosswalks are recommended at the following locations:

Avenida Jalisco and Sonora Drive – Standard markings
Avenida Jalisco and Painted Hills driveway – Ladder markings Avenida Jalisco and Bella Vista driveway (West) – Ladder markings Avenida Jalisco and Bella Vista driveway (East) – Ladder markings Avenida Jalisco and West Drive – Ladder markings
Mission Lakes Boulevard and Sonora Drive – Standard markings Mission Lakes Boulevard and West Drive – Standard markings Item Number: 7.

NV5-3125109.00
Pavement Markings
Edge line and centerline striping is recommended along Avenida Jalisco, delineating 11-foot travel lanes in each direction and one 8-foot parking lane with a 2-foot buffer. A parking lane is recommended to accommodate school drop-off and pick-up queues on the north side of Avenida Jalisco between Sonora Drive and the Painted Hills Driveway and on the north side of Avenida Jalisco, between the Bella Vista Driveway (West) and West Drive.

Parking should be prohibited through signing and/or red curb markings at all other areas and within at least 50 feet of each school crossing. Double solid yellow centerline striping is recommended near school driveways to prohibit passing, with broken yellow striping retained farther east and west.

Faded stop bars and “STOP” legends at the intersection of Avenida Jalisco and Sonora Drive should be refreshed. “KEEP CLEAR” pavement markings are recommended at the intersections of Avenida Jalisco and Sonora Drive and Avenida Jalisco and Bella Vista Driveway (East). “SLOW SCHOOL XING” pavement markings should be installed at least 100 feet in advance of the marked yellow crossings.

Figure 20 shows the proposed typical section on Avenida Jalisco.

Figure 20: Typical Section: Avenida Jalisco
Multi-Use Trail and Widened Sidewalk
A paved multi-use trail is recommended on the south side of Avenida Jalisco, from Sonora Drive to West Drive. Additionally, a paved or gravel multi-use trail through the open space from Avenida Barona to Avenida Jalisco is recommended to encourage biking and walking to school from the neighborhoods south of the schools. Trail signage should be installed at each access point of the multi-use trails. The existing sidewalk on the north side of Avenida Jalisco should be widened to 8 feet to accommodate students walking in groups.

ADA Curb Ramps
Directional curb ramps with truncated domes should be installed at all proposed school crossings in compliance with PROWAG Chapter 3, Section R304. Addtionally, curb ramps are recommended at the southwest corner of Mission Lakes Boulevard and Sonora Drive and the east leg of Mission Lakes Boulevard and West Drive.

Item Number: 7.

25 Desert Hot Springs Street School Safety Plan
NV5-3125109.00
Curb, Gutter, and Chicanes
Curb and gutter are recommended along the south side of Avenida Jalisco, from Sonora Drive to West Drive. A chicane or curb extensions could also be constructed near the Painted Hills Driveway and Bella Vista Driveway (West) to provide traffic calming, shorten crossing distances, and improve visibility at the major school crossings.

All-Way Stop-Control at Avenida Jalisco and West Drive
To improve pedestrian safety and overall traffic operations, all-way stop-control is recommended at the intersection of Avenida Jalisco and West Drive. Stop bars should be installed/refreshed at each approach and stop signs should be installed on the north and south legs.

Lighting Improvements
A lighting study and design should be completed to ensure all crossings meet ANSI/IES RP-8-25 standards prior to installation of crosswalk and street lighting. General locations for proposed streetlights are shown in Appendix F. Additional perimeter lighting is recommended at school sports facilities to improve safety during after-school and evening events.

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
To: City Council
Date: July 7, 2026
Department: Police Department
Prepared by: Steven Shaw, Police Chief
Subject: Desert Hot Springs Police Department Staffing Analysis and Recommendations
RECOMMENDATION:

Approve and direct staff to draft a resolution that:
1) Establishes current Desert Hot Springs Police Department sworn staffing level at 45 sworn officers, to be achieved via the hiring of 2 sworn officers each year over the next 5 years. 2) Once the staffing level of 45 sworn officers is achieved, establish a process where starting with the anticipated FY 33/34 every $500,000 increment increase in revenues from the Public Safety Parcel Tax would trigger the hiring of an additional sworn officer position, or police operations position, to be determined by the Chief of Police.

If approved, Staff would bring forward a Resolution to the City Council in the fall for review and adoption.

BACKGROUND:

The Desert Hot Springs Police Department has operated at a budgeted sworn staffing level of 33 officers for over 20 years. This figure represents all sworn positions from the Chief to the newest patrol officer. The department’s staffing level has not kept pace with the city’s growth and complexity, resulting in increased patrol response time, investigative limitations, high overtime expenditures, and a negative effect on morale and officer wellness.

In 2025, Chief Shaw requested the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) to conduct an independent organizational review of the Desert Hot Springs Police Department. The POST study analyzed organizational structure, staffing levels, workload data, operational needs, and community expectations.

DISCUSSION:

The POST study identified several structural gaps, with the most significant focused on understaffing, shift coverage gaps, high overtime costs, and community expectations.

POST provided the following recommendations:

Item Number: 8.

SR-26-160
 Fill two Lieutenant positions that were being created to fill a void within the department’s administration. These two positions were filled with internal promotions in February 2026.
 Fill vacant Task Force Officer positions. One Task Force Officer position with the PostRelease Accountability & Compliance Team (PACT) was filled in February 2026.  Fill the open Deputy Chief position. This is currently ongoing.  Address a 12% sworn vacancy rate. Through extensive recruiting efforts the department vacancy rate is currently 1%.
 Provide shift overlaps. This is currently ongoing.

Traditional staffing models used for law enforcement staffing are based entirely on population. The national average using this method is 2.4 sworn officers per 1,000 residents, with Western U.S. cities averaging 1.6 sworn officers per 1,000 residents. While this method is efficient, it does not take in the complexities that are unique to each city.

POST applied the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) staffing methodology to calculate DHSPD’s minimum sworn staffing requirement. This model uses the Shift Relief Factor (SRF) and Net Annual Work Hours (NAWH) to determine how many officers are needed to staff a position during a shift, and the number of hours officers are available to work per year. The SRF and NAWH provide a more in-depth analysis of sworn officer staffing customized for individual cities.

POST concluded that DHSPD requires a minimum of 37 sworn officers simply to meet the current call volume. This POST recommendation of 37 sworn officers does not account for department administration, Task Force Officer positions, the School Resource Officer or expanding the department’s Community Response Team, Traffic Division, or Detective Bureau.

POST recommendations included the following:
 Sworn staffing of 37 officers (not including those positions previously identified).  Patrol staffing should consist of 70% - 80% of sworn allocations (current patrol staffing is 52% of sworn allocation).
 Patrol staffing of 4 officers and a sergeant per squad (currently 3 officers and a sergeant).  Mid-shift overlap officer for each shift (currently no mid-shift officers).  Fill Task Force Officer positions (currently one position filled, three unfilled).  Expand Traffic Division (no one currently assigned).

The department’s current sworn staffing budget is 33 sworn officers, with approval to over-hire an additional 3 officers. Department staff is currently 34 officers (2 currently in the academy). Based Item Number: 8.

SR-26-160
upon POST recommendations and department priorities, Chief Shaw recommends increasing the departments sworn staffing to 45 sworn officers. Department sworn staffing of 45 officers includes those positions not accounted for by POST, fills patrol and patrol mid-shift positions, fills Task Force Officer positions, fills Traffic Division positions, and increases our Community Response Team.

It is recognized that increasing and funding department sworn staff to 45 is not an overnight process.

Working with the City Manager and Administrative Services Director and within the confines of the current budget and future budgets, our priority will be to add two sworn officer positions each fiscal year, over the next five years to achieve this staffing matrix. With the current positions already added, and adding these additional positions we have seen a reduction of overtime costs and will continue to reduce department overtime expenses, which will help with the funding of those permanent positions.

Once the established staffing level of 45 sworn officers is achieved at year five, it is further recommended that the following policy be considered to ensure the department is able to keep pace with anticipated population and business growth: Annually review increases in the Public Safety Parcel Tax. Starting with the anticipated FY 33/34 every $500,000 increment increase in revenues from the Public Safety Parcel Tax would trigger the hiring of an additional sworn officer position, or police operations position, to be determined by the Chief of Police.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The department will work within the confines of the current budget and future budget. Specific fiscal impact will be presented to the City Council by staff through regular budget presentations.

STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT:

This initiative supports the following goals of the City's Strategic Plan:

Goal 4: Public Safety - Staffing and Community Policing Enhance the quality of life for our residents and staff by establishing appropriate law enforcement staffing levels and implementing community policing initiatives.

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
To: City Council
Date: July 7, 2026
Department: City Manager
Prepared by: Christina Newsom, Deputy City Manager
Subject: Rental Registration 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 5.58 "Rental Registration Program" to Title 5 "Business Licenses and Regulations" of the Desert Hot Springs Municipal Code.

BACKGROUND:

Over 50% of the housing stock is designated as rental units in the city of Desert Hot Springs; many of these properties face issues with habitability and maintenance. Insufficient oversight of rental conditions has led to a spike in complaints about unsafe living conditions, which can significantly impact tenants' well-being and the surrounding community. Establishing a formal registration program would enable city officials to monitor better and manage these properties, ensuring they meet health and safety standards. All of this underscores the need for a comprehensive rental registration program.

Furthermore, a rental registration program would facilitate proactive measures to address substandard living conditions. The Code Compliance Division has received numerous reports of violations, including inoperative mechanical systems, unsanitary conditions, and hazardous environments. By requiring property owners to register their rental units, the city can create a database that highlights problem areas and allows for targeted inspections. This transparency is essential for identifying properties in need of immediate attention and for holding landlords accountable for maintaining safe conditions.

Implementing a rental registration program would also benefit tenants and property owners alike by fostering a safer community. Tenants would gain direct access to information about the conditions of their potential homes, empowering them to make informed decisions. Simultaneously, responsible property owners would have their adherence to safety standards recognized, contributing to a more desirable rental market. Ultimately, this initiative aims to reduce blight, protect public health, and enhance the overall quality of life in Desert Hot Springs.

DISCUSSION:

The proposed ordinance aims to establish a new Chapter 5.58, "Rental Registration Program," within the Desert Hot Springs Municipal Code, mandating the registration of all rental property owners. This Item Number: 9.

SR-26-167
chapter is designed to safeguard public health, safety, and welfare by ensuring that rental properties meet essential standards of habitability and management.

Key components of the rental registration program include:

1. Mandatory Registration: All rental property owners are required to obtain a rental registration permit and maintain an updated registration with the city. This includes providing a local contact for emergencies and legal processes, ensuring that urgent concerns can be addressed promptly.

2. General Operating Requirements: Property owners must adhere to established operating requirements, including maintaining properties that are safe, habitable, and free of blight or public nuisances. This proactive approach aims to enhance the quality of living conditions for all residents.

3. Registration Renewal Procedures: A clear process for permit renewal will be implemented, including a self-certification program to streamline compliance for responsible property owners while ensuring regular oversight.

4. Violations and Penalties: The ordinance outlines specific violations related to operational requirements and the consequences of failing to register or maintain the necessary permit. Property owners who do not comply may face penalties to promote adherence to these standards.

Overall, the proposed rental registration program is designed to foster neighborhood stability, promote responsible property management practices, and ensure a safe and healthy living environment for all residents of Desert Hot Springs.

STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT:

This initiative supports the following goals of the City's Strategic Plan:

Goal 6: Community Beautification
Focused execution of beautification efforts city-wide via enforcement measures and the abatement of illegal dumping.

Department: Public Works
Prepared by: Elias Garcia, City Engineer
Subject: Award of Construction Agreement to DBX, Inc. for the Traffic Signal at Palm Drive and 20th Avenue Project, City Project No. 3001
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Find that the Traffic Signal at Palm Drive and 20th Avenue Project (City Project No. 3001) is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 (Class 1 – Existing Facilities) and 15304 (Class 4 – Minor Alterations to Land), and direct staff to file a Notice of Exemption;
2) Award the Construction Agreement for the Traffic Signal at Palm Drive and 20th Avenue Project, City Project No. 3001, to DBX, Inc., as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, in the amount of $863,640.00;
3) Authorize the City Manager to execute the Construction Agreement and all associated contract documents with DBX, Inc.; and
4) Authorize a construction contingency in the amount of $86,364.00 (10%), and establish construction administration budgets of $69,996.00 for construction inspection services and $20,000.00 for materials and equipment testing, for a total construction phase authorization of $1,040,000.00.

BACKGROUND:

Palm Drive is one of the City of Desert Hot Springs' primary north-south arterial roadways and serves as a major transportation corridor for residents, businesses, and visitors traveling throughout the City and adjacent unincorporated areas of Riverside County. The intersection of Palm Drive and 20th Avenue is located on the jurisdictional boundary between the City of Desert Hot Springs and the County of Riverside and historically operated as an unsignalized intersection.

On February 7, 2023, the City Council approved a Cooperative Agreement between the City of Desert Hot Springs and the County of Riverside for the design and construction of traffic signal improvements at the intersection of Palm Drive and 20th Avenue. Under the Agreement, the City was designated as the lead agency responsible for preparation of the plans, specifications, and estimate (PS&E), project advertisement, contract administration, and construction management.

Item Number: 10.

SR-26-165
The Traffic Signal at Palm Drive and 20th Avenue Project (City Project No. 3001) is one component of the larger Palm Drive Improvements – Interstate 10 to Camino Aventura Project, which is funded in part through the California Active Transportation Program (ATP). The overall corridor project includes improvements intended to enhance multimodal transportation and safety, including sidewalks, buffered bicycle lanes, pedestrian improvements, ADA-compliant curb ramps, street lighting, signing and striping improvements, and traffic calming measures. The proposed traffic signal will improve intersection operations, enhance pedestrian accessibility, provide a protected crossing of Palm Drive, and improve safety for motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists.

DISCUSSION:

Following completion of the project plans, specifications, and estimate (PS&E), utility coordination, and receipt of construction authorization, the City advertised the Traffic Signal at Palm Drive and 20th Avenue Project (City Project No. 3001) for competitive bids on June 3, 2026, in accordance with the California Public Contract Code and the City's purchasing requirements.

During the bidding period, prospective bidders submitted requests for clarification regarding contractor qualification requirements for traffic signal work and other bidding requirements. In response, the City issued Addendum No. 1, which clarified contractor qualification requirements related to traffic signal installation, integration, testing, activation, and startup activities. Addendum No. 1 also incorporated revisions to the Contract Documents following confirmation from Caltrans Local Assistance that the project is funded entirely with State Active Transportation Program (ATP) funds and is not subject to federal-aid contract requirements.

Bids were publicly opened on June 25, 2026. Four (4) bids were received, as summarized below:

Bidder Bid Amount
DBX, Inc. $863,640.00
Crosstown Electrical & Data, Inc. $1,037,675.00
Elecnor Belco Electric, Inc. $1,037,888.00
California Professional Engineering, Inc. $1,157,960.80 Following the bid opening, Engineering staff completed a detailed review of the bid submitted by DBX, Inc., including verification of contractor licensing, bid bond, subcontractor listing, acknowledgment of Addendum No. 1, bid responsiveness, and completeness of the required bid documents. Staff determined that DBX, Inc. submitted the lowest responsive and responsible bid and is qualified to perform the work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

The proposed construction contract includes installation of a new fully actuated traffic signal; traffic signal controller, cabinet, electrical service, conduit, wiring, vehicle detection, and communication infrastructure; accessible pedestrian signal (APS) equipment; roadway reconstruction; drainage improvements; ADA-compliant curb ramps and sidewalks; signing and striping improvements; and all associated appurtenant work necessary to provide a complete and fully operational signalized intersection.

Approval of the recommended construction agreement will authorize the City to proceed with construction of this component of the broader Palm Drive Improvements – Interstate 10 to Camino Aventura Project and represents another significant milestone toward improving transportation safety, pedestrian accessibility, and multimodal mobility along the Palm Drive corridor.

Item Number: 10.

SR-26-165
The Plans, Specifications, and Estimate (PS&E), bid documents, and supporting procurement records are on file with the Engineering Department and are available for review upon request.

Accordingly, staff recommends that the City Council award the Construction Agreement for the Traffic Signal at Palm Drive and 20th Avenue Project, City Project No. 3001, to DBX, Inc. in the amount of $863,640.00, authorize a construction contingency of $86,364.00 (10%), establish construction administration budgets of $69,996.00 for construction inspection services and $20,000.00 for materials and equipment testing, and authorize a total construction phase budget of $1,040,000.00.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed Construction Agreement with DBX, Inc. is in the amount of $863,640.00. Staff recommends establishing a construction contingency of $86,364.00 (10%) to address unforeseen conditions that may arise during construction. In addition, staff recommends establishing construction administration budgets of $69,996.00 for construction inspection services and $20,000.00 for materials and equipment testing. The total construction phase authorization is $1,040,000.00, as summarized below:

Description Amount
Construction Contract (DBX,Inc.) $863,640.00
Construction Contingency (10%) $86,364.00
Construction Inspection Services $69,996.00
Materials and Equipment Testing $20,000.00
Total Construction Phase Authorization $1,040,000.00
Funding for the proposed construction contract and associated construction-phase services is available through the California Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 6 Construction Grant (Project No. ATPL-5384(028)) and has been budgeted within City Project No. 3001. The Traffic Signal at Palm Drive and 20th Avenue Project is one component of the broader Palm Drive Improvements – Interstate 10 to Camino Aventura Project.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

The proposed Traffic Signal at Palm Drive and 20th Avenue Project (City Project No. 3001) has been reviewed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines. The project consists of improvements within the existing public right-of-way, including installation of a new traffic signal, accessible pedestrian signal (APS) equipment, ADA-compliant curb ramps and sidewalks, roadway and drainage improvements, signing and striping, and associated traffic signal infrastructure.

The project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Class 1 – Existing Facilities) because it consists of minor alterations to existing public roadway facilities involving negligible or no expansion of existing use. The project is also categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15304 (Class 4 – Minor Alterations to Land) because it includes minor grading, trenching, backfilling, and related improvements within the existing public right-of-way.

Upon approval by the City Council, staff will file a Notice of Exemption with the Riverside County Clerk in accordance with CEQA.
