RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Council ADOPTS Resolution acknowledging receipt of a report made by the Fire Chief of Riverside County Fire Department regarding compliance with the annual inspection of certain occupancies pursuant to Sections 13146.2 and 13146.3 of the California Health and Safety Code.
BACKGROUND:
The Governor signed Senate Bill 1205 into law in September 2018 to address the issue of some fire departments failing to keep up with the statutorily required annual building inspections. By requiring annual reporting of their compliance to the local city council or board of supervisors, the bill is intended to apply local pressure for Fire Departments to complete the annual state mandated building inspections . The attached Resolution (Attachment #1) serves as the formal document to fulfill the annual fire inspection reporting requirements of SB 1205.
The annual building inspectio n and reporting must be conducted on two groups of occupancies, buildings, structures and/or facilities: Educational Group E and Residential Group R. Group E includes public and private schools used by more than 6 persons for educational purpose through the 12th grade. Group R includes hotels, motels, apartments (3 units or more), and certain residential care facilities.
During the time of July 1, 202 2, to June 30, 202 3, the Fire Department identified one Group E and seven Group R occupancies, buildings, structures and/or facilities in the City of Indian Wells and completed 100% of the annual inspections at the identified occupancies, buildings, structures and/or facilities. The facilities inspected are attached to this report. (Attachment #2).
The Fire Department will continue to assess, with the assistance of City Staff, the existing building stock and new development within the City to ensure that all applicable Group E and R buildings, structures and/or facilities receive an annual inspection in accordance with SB 1205.

INDIAN WELLS CITY COUNCIL
October 19, 2023
To: City Council
From: Finance Department
Prepared by: Kevin McCarthy, Finance Director
Subject: Resolution Authorizing the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority to provide notices to Claimants
pursuant to Government Code Section 910
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Council AUTHORIZES the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority to provide notices to Claimants pursuant to Government Code Section 910; and,
FINDS the project to be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15060.
BACKGROUND:
Consistent with Government Code Section 910, the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA) provides notices to claimants. Generally, the types of claimant notices include accepted, rejected, returned as insufficient, or returned as untimely claims against the City. This noticing process has been in place for decades and works very well.
In a recent CJPIA administrative review, the City was notified that it never formally delegated the noticing responsibility to the CJPIA. In the spirit of collaboration, the CJPIA said it would continue noticing claimants on behalf of the City but asked for the formal adoption of the attached resolution to resolve the issue. This item is considered an administrative clean-up.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA):
This action has been reviewed per the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State and local CEQA Guidelines, and the City's environmental regulations. The City, acting as the Lead Agency, determined that the ordinance is not subject to CEQA pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment as there is no
possibility that the action would result in a significant environmental impact, and because it does not constitute a “project” as defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3.

To: City Council
From: Finance Department
Prepared by: Ruby D. Walla, Assistant Finance Director
Subject: City Treasurer’s Report for August 2023
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Council RECEIVES and FILES the City Treasurer’s Report for August 2023.
DISCUSSION:
Attached are the monthly cash balance and investment reports for August 2023.
Investments reflected in this report are “Marked-to-Market,” meaning the market value of the City’s investments is updated monthly. This method provides a clear depiction of the City’s portfolio’s value subject to the investment market’s performance . As a result, the City of Indian Wells maintains prudent fiscal reserves and minimizes un-invested cash.
Cash and Investments
As of August 31, 2023:
The City’s cash and investments totaled $69,130,208.45 The City’s portfolio earned a 2.100% rate of return.
Treasurer’s Certification
Compliance - The City Treasurer certifies that the City’s cash and investments presented in this Report comply with the City’s investment policy and with the legal requirements of the State of California Government Code section 53600.
Liquidity - The City Treasurer certifies that the City’s portfolio is sufficient to meet its financial obligations for the next six months. The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements, which might be reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by striving to have securities mature while cash is needed to meet anticipated demands (static liquidity). Additionally, since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio consists mainly of securities with active secondary or resale markets (dynamic liquidity).
Fiscal Prudence
When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but no t limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the City, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the City.
Background
Staff provides Council with a monthly update to the Treasurer’s Report. The Report presents the City’s cash activity and investment portfolio and includes a reconciliation between investment balances and General L edger. Specifically, t he report provides information on the types of investments, dates of maturities, costs, the updated market value of securities, and rates of interest earned in the portfolio.
The City maintains a written investment policy in compliance with legal requirements of Government Code section 53600 and governs the investments made by the City . It is the policy of the City of Indian Wells to invest public funds in a manner that will pr ovide maximum security with the highest investment return while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the City. Therefore, the investments purchased by the City are consistent with the City’s investment policy and are allowable under the current legislation of the State of California.
The City invests in U.S. treasuries, federal agency securities, medium-term corporate notes, municipal bonds, federally insured certificates of deposit, and overnight cash investments. Criteria for selecting investments in the order of priority are (1) safety, (2) liquidity, and (3) yield.

INDIAN WELLS CITY COUNCIL
October 19, 2023
To: City Council
From: Public Works Department
Prepared by: Ken Seumalo, Public Works Director
Subject: Request for Supplemental Appropriation for Whitewater River Channel Cleanup Caused by Tropical Storm Hillary
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Council AWARDS contract to Lippert Construction for two separate phases for the August 20 storm cleanup caused by Tropical Storm Hillary ; Fred Waring Drive using the City’s General Fund reserves and the Whitewater River Channel using Golf Resort Funds; and
AUTHORIZES and DIRECTS the City Manager to execute an agreement for the same; and
APPROVES supplemental appropriation in the amount of $156,905 from the General Fund for the clearing of Fred Waring Drive, and $582,200 from the Golf Resort Fund for the cleanup of the Whitewater River Drainage Channel beginning at Fred Waring Drive and extending 1.25 miles towards the Miles Avenue bridge; and
AUTHORIZES the City Manager, or designee, to transfer funds from general fund to the Public Works City Parkways Operations account.
DISCUSSION:
On August 20, 20 23, the Coachella Valley experienced a significant rainstorm event , Tropical Storm Hiliary. The storm generated a high volume of water in the Whitewater River Channel that caused significant erosion and deposited excess debris in the channel and Fred Waring Drive. The amount of silt and debris deposited on Fred Waring required the road to be closed. Clearing the roadways and debris removal from other infrastructure locations began under the City’s Fiscal Policies and Procedures Manual under section 6.E, Emergency Purchase.
The scope of work to clear up the debris from the storm was divided into two categories:
Fred Waring Drive and the Whitewater River Channel. The work for both categories included mobilization of equipment, cleanup of the respective facilities , grading erosion damage in the channel, removal of silt and debris deposited in the channel between Fred Waring (including portions of the channel north of Fred Waring Drive) and the east drop
structure, and temporary repair of the east drop structure. The total distance of the channel clean -up extended approximately 1.25 miles from the Fred Waring bridge, southeast to the cart crossing between holes 16 and 17 of the Player’s Course.
Staff are seeking funding from Caltrans for the repairs to Fred Waring Drive and seeking insurance and California Office of Emergency Services reimbursement for the work in the channel. In addition, multiple requests to declare the damage from Tropical Storm Hillary a national disaster is pending with the President Joe Biden. If declared, staff will seek funding from the United States Department of Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Staff reached out to Lippert Construction who proposed performing all the needed work on a time and materials basis. Staff reviewed the estimated cost at $477,000 and found the estimate to be reasonable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost for the Fred Waring Drive clean -up is $156,905 ; requesting transfer from the General Fund and the cost for the Whitewater River Channel Cleanup is $582,200 paid from the Golf Resort Fund . A supplemental appropriation is required, and s taff is requesting the transfer of $156,905 from the City’s Disaster Recovery Reserves and $582,200 from the Golf Resort Fund to the Public Works City Parkways Operatio ns account to backfill unanticipated expenditures related to the Tropical Hilary Storm clean- up and repair.
INDIAN WELLS CITY COUNCIL
October 19, 2023
To: City Council
From: City Manager’s Department
Prepared by: Chrisopher Freeland, City Manager
Subject: Sponsorship of Dr. George Charity Car Show
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Council AUTHORIZES the City Manager to execute a three-year sponsorship agreement with the Palm Springs Crusin’ Association to serve as Presenting Sponsor of the Dr. George’s Charity Car Show from 2024-2027; and
FINDS the project to be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15060.
BACKGROUND:
For over twenty years, the Palm Springs Crusin’ Association volunteers have coordinated the Dr. George Charity Car Show held each February at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.
On the second Saturday in February, thousands of visitors come to Indian Wells to see approximately 1,100 cars on display, with all money raised donated to the Desert Cancer Center. The City of Indian Wells has supported the event for many years.
The Palm Springs Crusin’ Association (PSCA) is a 30+ year organization of car enthusiasts who volunteer their time and vehicles to stage and promote charitable car events. The PSCA has 501(c)3 non-profit status with the Internal Revenue Service. In 2002, local oncologist Dr. Sebastian George was killed while helping a motorist. Many of Dr. George’s patients were members of the PSCA. In 2002, the PSCA hosted its inaugural Dr. George Car Show to honor Dr. George’s memory and raise funds for the Desert Cancer Foundation he helped co-found. The Dr. George Car Show provided over $1.2 million in donations to the Desert Cancer Foundation.
Founded in 1994, Desert Cancer Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping pay for cancer care for local valley residents needing financial assistance. They believe no one should forgo life -saving treatment due to inability to pay. Every dollar donated to Desert Care Foundation translates into $10 in cancer care & treatment through strategic partnerships with the local healthcare community, including Desert Regional Comprehensive Cancer Center and Eisenhower Lucy Curci Cancer Center. For over 25
years, the Desert Cancer Foundation has worked closely with these partners to leverage over $10.5 million in funds and provide more than $106 million in cancer care & treatment in the Coachella Valley.
Additional information on PSCA and the Desert Cancer Foundation is attached.
DISCUSSION:
The sponsorship agreement between the City of Indian Wells and the Tennis Garden allows the City's free rental of the Tennis Garden for two events annually to be used by the City or a City-approved nonprofit. The City or nonprofit is responsible for any costs beyond the rental of the Tennis Garden (e.g., janitorial services, security, food and beverage, etc.). The Dr. George Chairty Car Show has utilized one of these city-free rentals.
Recently, City staff and representatives from PSCA and Desert Cancer Foundation met to discuss continuing the City’s support of the Dr. George Charity Car Show. Over the past few years, the valuation of the rental of the Tennis Garden has significantly increased and is currently valued at approximately $50,000. To recognize the City’s ongoing support of the Dr. George Charity Car Show, PSCA is presenting a comprehensive sponsorship package with additional benefits for the City.
The deal points are as follows:
The City Provides PSCA use of the Tennis Gardens under the nonprofit provision of the agreement between the City and Tennis Gardens for the 2024 -2027 Dr.
George Charity Car Show.
PSCA agrees to the following:
o Create a unique sole “Presenting Sponsor” sponsorship level for the City. o Prime positioning in all print advertising, event programs, flyers, and spectator cards. City’s logo on event t-shirts and banners at the event. o Prominent recognition in all TV and Radio Spots.
o Recognition throughout the day during public announcements at the Car Show.
o Two pages of prominent advertising space in the event program to promote the City and the Indian Wells Golf Resort.
o Tickets and parking for City representatives to attend the event. o Food truck space for the Indian Wells Golf Resort.
o Creating a new Mayor’s Trophy for the Car Show.
o Recognition as a sponsor at the Sponsor’s Recognition Dinner , where the funds collected are given to the Desert Cancer Foundation. Table for ten to attend the Sponsor’s Recognition Dinner. o Authorization for the City to use the event for our publicity and social media.
Staff recommends that the Council approve the deal points presented and authorize the City Manager to execute a three-year sponsorship review and discuss PSCA’s sponsorship proposal.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no cost to the City for the sponsorship. In exchange for using the City’s nonprofit provision of the agreement between the City and Tennis Gardens, PSCA will provide the City with extensive publicity and recognition as the Presenting Sponsor.
OPTIONS:
The Council can consider the following options on the proposed Sponsorship Agreement with PSCA.
1. Approve the proposed sponsorship agreement with PSCA as presented.
2. Amend or modify the proposed sponsorship agreement as presented.
3. Deny the proposed sponsorship agreement as presented.
4. Provide alternative direction to Staff.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA):
This action has been reviewed per the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State and local CEQA Guidelines, and the City's environmental regulations. The City, acting as the Lead Agency, determined that the ordinance is not subject to CEQA pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, because it will not result in a direct or reasonably fores eeable indirect physical change to the environment as there is no possibility that the action would result in a significant environmental impact, and because it does not constitute a “project” as defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3.

The Dr. George CharitY Car Show
The palm Springs Cruisin' Association (PSCA) is a 30+ year old organization of car enthusiasts who volunteer their time and vehicles to stage and promote charitable car events. lt is an all- volunteer organization with 50i.(c)3 status with the lnternal Revenue Service. The signature event for this group is the Dr. George Charity Car Show held the second Saturday of February each year to honor the memory of Dr. Sebastian George and support the foundation he co- founded in Lgg4. After his death in 2002 while assisting another motorist, several members of pSCA, who had been patients of Dr. George, decided to hold a car show to raise funds to contribute to the Desert Cancer Foundation in his memory. Over the 20 years of shows, over S1,200,000 has been contributed as a result of those efforts. With the multiplier effect the Foundation has negotiated with the regional medical centers, this equates to approximately SL2,000,000 of screening, diagnosis and treatment for cancer and allied diseases.
The Dr. George Charity Car Show is held on the grass at the lndian Wells Tennis Garden and has grown to its maximum of 1,LOO vehicles on display. The entrants represent all classes of vehicles from customized bicycles to classics to lowriders to custom hot rods. The show is ringed with localvendors of food, merchandise, and services. Spectators are encouraged to donate funds in addition to their entry fee. Trophies are awarded to the choices of the sponsors. The goal is to have a beautiful day on the grass with an array of vehicles to suit everyone's taste. Funds are primarily raised through major sponsorships, entry fees, gate donations, vendor fees, spectator parking and raffles.
The Desert Cancer Foundation (DCF)was founded in 1994 by Dr. Sebastian George, a recognized leader in the field of oncology, and Art and Cory Teichner. They saw many local residents who needed financial help in order to receive proper care for their cancers. Many were uninsured, under-insured or simply lacking the funds to pay for deductibles, transportation or other costs associated with this debilitating disease. With the cooperation and support of the major cancer treatment facilities in the Coachella Valley, they were able to obtain over $10's worth of care for every 5L paid by the Foundation. This "leverage" has made all of the difference for patients that have staggering bills for their care or in many cases, would simply have forgone treatment. Through 2O2L, DCF has provided funding for the equivalent of over 565 million in screening, diagnosis, and treatment for local residents. The Dr. George Charity Car Show has been a significant contributor to that total.
ATTACHMENT #1
Dr. George Charity Car Show Page 2
ln 2023, PSCA raised a record $1OS,OOO for the DCF. ln order to continue the growth of our contribution, we are looking to add attractions to bring more spectators (and donors) to the show. Currently, we have a "special guest" booth where key celebrities in the custom car, specialty parts manufacturing and car racing arenas can be interviewed and share their stories with our guests. We introduced a kids pedal car race in 20L8 which has become a fan favorite.
We are also looking at a professionaljudging program that would bring prominence to the top awards given at the show. Finally, we are exploring increasing sponsorships to provide resources to expand our media profile and draw more potential spectators/donors to the show.
Our goal is to remain true to the all-volunteer effort and to continue the Dr. George show's reputation as a family friendly car show. We will encourage a wide variety of vehicles to join us in a warm and comfortable environment that provides a growing resource to the Desert Cancer Foundation.

INDIAN WELLS CITY COUNCIL
October 19, 2023
To: City Council
From: Finance Department
Prepared by: Kevin McCarthy, Finance Director
Subject: Golf Resort Restaurant Lease & True Up Agreement & Option to Re-Imagine Vue Bar & Grill
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Council AUTHORIZES the City Manager to execute a Golf Course Restaurant Lease and True Up Agreement with Troon Golf subject to non-substantive administrative edits; and
APPROVES Troon’s proposal to re-imagine the VUE Bar & Grill into a Richard Blais restaurant; and
FINDS the project to be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15060.
BACKGROUND:
Food and Beverage Operations (F&B) at the Indian Wells Golf Resort comprise VUE Bar and Grill, the Fairway Grill, Banquet facilities, a Food Truck, Café 36, and on -course beverage carts. As adopted by the Council in the Fiscal Year 2023 -24 Budget, F&B Operations anticipates serving 237,728 customers (covers) and generating approximately $7.8 million in revenues, nearly 40% of all revenues at the resort. Consistent with the Council's implementation goals and deliverables, the anticipated Net Operating Income from F&B operations is $1.5 million, representing 19% of total F&B revenue.
The new Restaurant Lease Agreement leases all F&B operations to Troon. Cities often require restaurant lease agreements for Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) purposes , primarily for regulatory and compliance reasons. Cities themselves typically cannot hold an Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) license because they are not commercial entities or individuals engaged in the business of selling alcoholic beverages. ABC licenses are typically issued to private companies or individuals who meet specific legal requirements and wish to operate in a commercial establishment, such as a restaurant or bar, where alcoholic beverages are sold.
The Restaurant Lease Agreement outlines the terms of the business arrangement between the City and the restaurant operator. This is important for the ABC authority to determine who is responsible for the premises and who holds the license. It clarifies who has the right to sell alcohol on the premises. The lease includes provisions related to liability and insurance coverage. ABC authorities must ensure that the restaurant has adequate coverage and that the City and restaurant operator understand their responsibilities in the event of alcohol-related incidents.
Restaurant lease agreements are essential to the regulatory framework for businesses serving alcohol. They help ensure that establishments comply with local and state laws, maintain suitable locations, and have the necessary agreements to operate legally a nd responsibly.
The True Up Agreement reconciles the quarterly net income to the rent paid by Troon to the City. In the event the Quarterly Net Income is greater than the aggregate rent paid during the fiscal quarter, Troon shall pay or credit the difference to the City. In the event the aggregate rent paid during the fiscal year exceeds the Quarterly Net Income, the City shall pay or credit the difference to Troon. Essentially, the True Up Agreement exists because of the Restaurant Lease Agreement and the Restaurant Lease Agreement exists primarily for ABC compliance.
DISCUSSION:
This Staff Report is bifurcated into two sections to assist the Council.
The first section is updating the existing Restaurant Lease Agreement with Troon. As detailed in the following pages, much of the Restaurant Lease Agreement remains the same. The updates focus on improvements benefiting the City and are consistent with the newly adopted Troon Management Agreement. The updates focus on “Exceptional Customer Service” and “First Class” standards as defined in the current Golf Resort Management Agreement, profitability consistent with the Golf Resort’s “Annual Plan,” and finally, allow Troon (subject to Council approval) to enter third party operations contracts.
The second section considers the option to Re-Imagine the Vue Bar & Grill with a Celebrity Chef concept. Troon proposes re-imagining the Vue Bar and Grill into a celebrity chef restaurant. Troon overwhelmingly supports onboarding Celebrity Chef Richard B lais.
Celebrity Chef Richard Blais met personally with individual City Council Members and presented initial concepts and options. Additional details are in the Re-Imagine the Vue Bar & Grill section.
Restaurant Lease Agreement
Much of the New Restaurant Lease Agreement remains the same as the current Lease Agreement, such as Troon’s Possession and Use, Troon’s collection of revenues and
payment of operating costs, Repairs and Maintenance, Troon’s F&B employees, licenses (including the ABC licenses), compliance with the law, quiet enjoyment, events of default, insurance requirements, and indemnification.
The new Restaurant Lease Agreement contains improvements benefiting the City. The new Restaurant Lease Agreement re-enforces the framework of the new Management Agreement, focuses on creating exceptional customer service , establishes financial performance requirements, and allows the use of third -party contractors. Significant changes are detailed as follows:
Troon acknowledges that the quality and reliability of the F&B Operations are essential to the Golf Resort. This means that Troon must operate F&B operations consistent with “Exceptional Customer Service” and “First Class” standards as defined in the current Golf Resort Management Agreement. This also means Troon will utilize commercially reasonable efforts to provide First-Class food and beverage experience at the Vue Restaurant, which includes, for the avoidance of doubt, hiring and training Staff and overseeing operations.
Troon acknowledges operating and managing the food and beverage operations of the Golf Resort with a goal of profitability . Profitability and its associated Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are annually adjusted and agreed to by the City Council during the adoption of the Golf Resort’s “Annual Plan” as defined in Section
3.4 of the Management Agreement.
Subject to the City’s approval, the new Restaurant Lease Agreement allows Troon to enter into contracts and agreements (a “Third Party Contract”) i n connection with its operation, management, and improvement of the F&B Premises subject to the City’s approval, engage third -party contractors or consultants to provide services, products, or expertise related to the F&B Premises, including but not limited to consultation on menu development, interior design, marketing, advertising, and equipment.
The new Restaurant Lease Agreement runs co-terminus with the Management Agreement.
The new Restaurant Lease Agreement clarifies that the City will continue subsidizing Troon for F&B discounts offered to residents.
Re-imagine the VUE Bar & Grill
During the Golf Resort’s Strategic Planning in February 2023, the Council required Troon Golf (the Operator) to incorporate new F&B strategies designed to reduce non-seasonal operating losses, evaluate the cost of sales and labor controls, capture additional covers
in banquet and VUE Bar and Grill profit centers, increase Golfer use of the VUE by 30%, and increase Resident Covers by 10%.
In addition, competition in the Indian Wells restaurant market is becoming more competitive. The new Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort will have a new restaurant concept. Hyatt has announced the addition of a celebrity chef as part of the hotel’s rebranding. The Renaissance is in the process of re-conceptualizing its food and beverage offerings. Vue Bar and Grill needs a new identity to remain competitive with these fresh food and beverage operations in the Indian Wells Golf Resort campus.
The request to remain competitive for additional covers, revenues, and increased profitability led the Council to direct the City Manager and Troon to examine and develop a new Vue Bar and Grill concept . A new concept designed to capture additional covers from golfers, residents, hotel guests, and the local market.
The Celebrity Chef Concept
Hiring a celebrity chef can offer several potential benefits. Some of these benefits include:
1. Brand Recognition: Celebrity chefs often have a solid following and a recognizable brand. By associating the Golf Resort’s F&B operations with a well-known chef, we can attract fans and customers eager to experience their culinary creations.
2. Marketing and Publicity: Celebrity chefs can attract media attention and publicity.
Their appearances on TV shows, magazines, and social media can help promote your establishment and generate buzz.
3. Culinary Expertise: Celebrity chefs are highly skilled and experienced in the kitchen. Their expertise can elevate the q uality of your restaurant's menu and overall dining experience, potentially attracting discerning food enthusiasts.
4. Menu Innovation: Celebrity chefs often bring innovative and unique culinary ideas.
Their creativity can lead to exciting menu items that set the Golf Resort’s F&B operations apart from competitors.
5. Increased Revenue: The draw of a celebrity chef can lead to increased foot traffic and higher average check sizes, ultimately boosting revenue—additional revenues from any celebrity chef-related merchandise sold at the Golf Resort.
6. Collaborative Marketing Opportunities: Collaborating with a celebrity chef can lead to partnership opportunities, such as cookbook releases, cooking classes, or special events, which can further drive business and revenue. Having a celebrity chef
coordinate not just the restaurant operations but also course and special events (e.g., weddings) can have significant revenue and brand benefits.
Disadvantages include the cost of hiring a celebrity chef, compatibility – whether the chef is compatible with our brand, sustainability - whether the celebrity chef's popularity is sustainable over the long term, and brand risks associated with negative publicity.
The Trail Blais Relationship
Troon has significant food and beverage experience in public and private golf courses.
In recent years, the Aviara Golf Club in Carlsbad, a Troon-managed golf course, rebranded its restaurant to a celebrity chef concept that has become a thriving destination for golfers, hotel guests (Park Hyatt Aviara), and locals. Ember & Rye at Aviara Golf Club is a Richard Blais restaurant.
Troon is proposing a similar rebranding of the Vue Bar and Grill into a celebrity chef restaurant. Celebrity Chef Richard Blais, through his relationship with Troon, desires to rebrand the restaurant into an approachable and affordable dining destination that golfers, residents, hotel guests, and locals will enjoy.
Over the past few months, Staff, and Troon have been working on the details of this celebrity concept for the City Council’s consideration. In addition, Richard Blais has met individually with Council Members on the concept he would like to bring to the Vue Bar and Grill.
Troon overwhelmingly supports onboarding Celebrity Chef Richard Blais. The Indian Wells Golf Resort General Manager has also been involved in the discussions to bring the celebrity chef concept to Indian Wells and fully supports this transition. The Golf Resort General Manager has experience with celebrity chefs and is excited to see this project progress.
Richard Blais is a successful chef, a James Beard nominated c ookbook author, and a television personality. Widely recognized from Bravo's Top Chef series, Richard won the inaugural Top Chef All -Stars Season. He co-hosts FOX’s Next Level Chef with Gordon Ramsay and Nyesha Arrington.
Blais graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in New York and trained at some of the world's premier restaurants, including t he French Laundry, Daniel, Chez Panisse , and el Bulli. He owns and operates Trail Blais, a forward -thinking culinary consulting group that has designed and launched popular eateries nationwide, including Ember & Rye in Carlsbad and Four Flamingos in Orlando, Florida, with the Xenia Group and Hyatt Hotels. He is also the Culinary Director for VIP Dining at the San Diego Symphony's performance space, The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park.
Blais advises numerous national brands on recipe development, creativity, imagination, and team building. As an author, Richard Blais wrote “This at Home,” “So Good,” and “Plant Forward,” available this year. In addition, Blais has various nationwide podcasts, Food Court and Starving for Attention.
The critical deal points of the Richard Blais agreement with Troon include:
1. Reimagine the restaurant into an approachable and affordable dining destination.
2. Richard Blais is developing a new restaurant design and concept, including all furniture and fixtures, kitchen layout, and other necessary equipment.
3. In consultation with Troon, create and develop menus for the new restaurant and other food and beverage operations (e.g., banquets, food truck).
4. Provide food sourcing recommendations.
5. Develop a comprehensive staffing plan, including the recommended selection of key staff members (e.g., restaurant manager, executive chef, and other senior staff members).
6. Provide extensive onsite training by Richard Blais and the sous chef before and after the restaurant's opening.
7. Develop necessary manuals detailing standards for operating a Richard Blais restaurant.
8. Attend not less than 12 mutually agreed appearan ces for special events, staff training, and restaurant promotion after the grand opening. In addition, based on availability, Richard Blais will make reasonable efforts to make additional appearances that may be subject to further compensation.
9. Grants l icensing and promotion of the restaurant to Troon for promotional purposes.
10. Richard Blais merchandise is made available for sale at the IWGR.
11. The Third-Party Agreement has a non -compete covenant, which prevents Blais , directly or indirectly during the Term of this Agreement and for two (2) years after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, from engaging in any restaurant consulting or similar agreements with hotels restaurants or other facilities located within the Coachella Valley, California.
The Blais Concept for the Vue Bar and Grill
Celebrity Chef Richard Blais met personally with individual Council Members and presented initial concepts and options. During the meetings with Council Members, Blais points out that these initial concepts and options are more like ideal placeholders, and Blais needs to go through a “visioning” process to develop a final concept.
Initially, the re-imagined concept could be as follows:
1. Inspiration - "A place where the young and young at heart gather. Where Sinatra and Friends meet Taylor Swift and Harry Styles for some Champagne on tap under a tree, you're sure you've only seen in a Dr Seuss book."
2. Food Concept - select the freshest, local , and seasonal ingredients and craft them into delicious, chef -inspired favorites to inspire everyday dining. A signature modern take on American classics, Chef Blais' culinary program features local vegetables, meats, and California coastal seafood.
3. Beverage Concept - a curated beverage program that appeals to all guests while staying rooted in the art of a well-crafted cocktail that invigorates the bar and social scene around it. The beverage menu focuses heavily on California wines, mezcal, and tequila of Alto California, and the beverage program is anchored by California sparkling wine/ champagne "on tap."
4. Inspiration for décor:
a. Reflecting Indian Wells' vibrant past and present, the new space will blend materials found in nature and is influenced by the flora and fauna of the region.
b. A beautiful, balanced palette carries the story through using stone, wood, and natural textiles.
c. A welcoming, warm California modern space that evokes the energy of nature.
d. Seating is interesting yet relaxed and encourages social connection. e. Varied seating allows for both communal and intimate guest experiences.
5. First Class – Richard Blais is onsite to conduct pre -launch activities. His corporate sous chef supports that effort and is available for go-forward training.
Economics and Accountability
This section deals with Troon’s accountability for the financial performance of the Blais Concept. Placing aside the current economics of the Vue Bar & Grill for a moment,
consider that “the Clarity of Concept” m ay be the single most significant economic contributor to the future success of the Vue Bar & Grill. Today, many will argue that the Vue does not have an identifiable brand, that " we do not know what the Vue is .” Re- imagining Vue Bar & Grill into an ident ifiable brand will go a long way to improve its economics. We will know what it is and why it exists.
Financial accountability for the Celebrity Chef concept lies squarely with Troon. All financial performance metrics are required to meet or exceed the City Council's new benchmarks and financial performance measures. Once the b enchmarks and financial performance measures are met, Troon will craft the F&B budget , which will be included in the Annual Plan.
The Council must approve the Annual Plan before any revenue is collected or expenses paid. The Annual Plan will be placed on a City Agenda, subject to public inspection, and brought before the Council for consideration and adoption. Once adopted, the Council will receive comparative financial information of monthly actual performance and budgeted KPIs.
Troon is held accountable and is subject to the financial performance requirements implemented in the Troon Management Agreement. Poor economic performance will lead to reduced management fees for Troon and possible termination for poor financial performance under Article VI of the Troon Management Agreement.
Capital Funding to Re-imagine the VUE Bar & Grill
Troon and Richard Blais estimate a cost between $1.7 and $2.5 million to renovate the Vue Bar and Grill. The City Council should consider two funding sources to fund Vue Bar and Grill renovation costs before considering a supplemental appropriation.
First, included in the new Management Agreement, Troon is required to provide $1.25 million on key money that can be used for this purpose. Second, Troon has nearly $1.0 million in Vue Bar and Grill FF&E capital repairs and replacements through the fiscal year 2027-28 already planned for in the Golf Resort Capital replacement plan. Since the capital repairs and replacements represent existing FF&E, these funds could be re -directed into re-imaging the Vue Bar and Grill.
Should the Council consider funding Vue Bar and Grill's construction improvements, Staff recommends limiting renovation costs to $2.25 million and not considering a supplemental appropriation . Limiting renovation costs would prevent the need for additional funding.
If approved, Staff and Troon estimate construction would begin in early summer 2024, with a grand opening in Fall 2024.
OPTIONS:

Revenue streams are extended using modest year over year % increases, except for covers (which spike in Y1, and with the moderate case, also in Y2).
Costs are extended using modest year over year % increases that consider some inflationary pressures over the next 2-3 years.
Cover counts see a considerable lift in Y1, post construction, at 30% more lunch covers and 40% more dinner covers.
In the moderate model only, an additional 5% and 10% in covers are expected in Y2. Cover counts normalize after that.
YOY pricing is modest – we want the concept to be approachable and affordable.
Construction is slated for June – August 2024.
Estimated construction price including FF&E is closer to $2M.
In the moderate model, utilities are scaled back by $260K to reflect the benefit of solar.
In the moderate model, some efficiencies in F&B payroll are assumed, scaling back the COL to 40% (Blais affect attracts and retains a highly efficient work force).

INDIAN WELLS CITY COUNCIL
October 19, 2023
To: City Council
From: Public Works Department
Prepared by: Ken Seumalo, Public Works Director
Subject: Indian Wells Lane Monument Sign Replacement
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Council DISCUSSES and PROVIDES direction regarding the design of the Indian Wells Monument Sign located at the intersection of Indian Wells Lane and Highway 111.
BACKGROUND:
On September 20, 2021, the Indian Wells Golf Resort monument sign located at the intersection of Indian Wells Land and Highway 111 sustained significant damaged in a car accident. Staff filed a claim with the California Joint Power’s Insurance Association (CJPIA) who paid the City t he estimated sign value of $90,000. This dollar amount was based on the original project sign value, but it did not cover the cost to rebuild the sign in today’s dollars. Because of the funding deficiency, Staff took the opportunity to explore the modification of the original sign and allow for flexibility to make changes and add any future changes to the Golf Resort on the new sign.
Staff received concerns regarding the delay in replacing the damaged sign. It was Staff’s intention to mitigate some of the increase in sign construction costs by combining the construction of the new sign with the repaving of the parking lot at the Indian Wells Golf Resort (IWGR), paving of Indian Wells Lane, installation of new plants along Indian Wells Lane and the fountain area, and installation of wayfinding pavement markings.
The Council approved combining these capital projects as part of the City’s Biannual 2023- 2025 Operating and Capital Improvement Project budget. These improvements are currently in the design phase and will be ready for construction at the end of the Fiscal Year 2023-24. The technique of combining projects has been a successful money saving method in Indian Wells. For example, the sidewalk installation around Indian Wells Lane and updating the Walk of Honor into one larger project saved the City thousands of dollars in construction costs by combining these projects.
Staff are providing an exhibit of the original monument sign as well as a rendering of the replacement sign including minor modifications . Staff are requesting Council review the renderings and provide direction regarding the sign’s design.
DISCUSSION:
During the design of the replacement sign, staff provided direction to make small modifications to the proposed sign to provide greater visibility of the wording on the sign and provide greater flexibility to replace wording on the sign for any future name changes to the restaurant. A copy of the proposed replacement sign is attached.
Best Signs, who is designing the replacement sign, also indicated that if the City wished to make any changes to the sign, this was time to do so. Best Signs provided additional examples of signs that could be utilized as an alternative to the replacement sign. Those examples are attached.
A couple of weeks ago, the design for the replacement sign and the examples were shared with the City Council, noting that City staff was moving fo rward with the replacement sign, unless a Council Member wished to discuss alternative signage at an upcoming City Council meeting. Mayor Griffith requested a discussion on this matter at an upcoming City Council meeting.
Staff also shared renderings of t he new signage being constructed at the new Tommy Bahama’s Miramonte Resort, which is located across the street from the Indian Wells Lane signage.
OPTIONS:
The City Council has the following options:
1. Approve replacement of sign originally designed.
2. Instruct staff to develop additional replacement sign designs for future consideration.
3. Provide alternative direction.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The approved budget provides sufficient funds to pay for the cost of design and reconstruction of the IWGR parking lot, Indian Wells Lane, landscape improvements, and the construction of the monument sign in its original design concept. Any modification to the sign will likely require Staff to provide Council with an updated funding request.

Please get these numbers.
• It has been over 14 months and the construction (landscaping) has not been finished at the area opposite the first tee on Celebrity- status to complete. • It will be 12 months since th_e solar project was completed and it still does not work causing the City to lose an estimated $600,000...: are we suing or have we got a date to have the solar operational?
• What is the status on completing the Fairway Park?
• Why has the City not installed a temporary sidewalk in front of Vintage on Fairway? It has been over 3 years since the project was approved.
• Signage at Indian Wells Lane - it has been over a year and the installation of a new sign has not been completed. Excuses and further delays are unacceptable. • Please provide a status report on air conditioning issues and solar issues:
o What has been discovered?

Attachments: Councilmember Peabody Memo of September 11, 2023.pdf Mayor and City Council,
Councilmember Peabody submitted the following memo to me prior to his departure for Hawaii. Here are the responses. This did not require more than 2 of hours of my time to prepare this.
Have a great weekend,
Chris
1. Fairway Grill Numbers‐Yes the Fairway Grill was re‐opened on weekends in August. Data have been received by IWGR and will be sent to Council in a separate email.
2. Construction of area around Celebrity Hole #1. When the extra storage was created for the pavilion, areas around the storage facility were not put back to their original condition. We will work on that.I believe during the transition this was dropped from everyone’s radar. City and IWGR staff will regroup to get completed.
3. Solar Project continues to face supply issues. Our third party consultant says that the industry is beginning to see relief and remains optimistic. Siteloqic, the contractor, has not been as optimistic. Public Works met with Sitelogiq this week and is requesting a more thorough update. I too reached out to management and told them we need solutions. PW staff has denied change orders and payments until we resolve all issues. As we shared with Council, it is hard to seek damages/sue if we don’t know what the told damages are. Please let me know if you wish to discuss a possible Closed Session on the matter. Will keep you and the City Attorney in the loop as we get updates.
4. Fairway Park will have a Ground Breaking/Dedication on November 15th. Delayed due to supply issues for electrical components.
Will have a Grand Opening once we have better information on the arrival of all equipment.
5. The path along Vintage and Fairway was approved in this year's budget. The item from three years ago was for design work and not construction of a path. Public Works was instructed and is working on a temporary sidewalk along with Eldorado. I will ask Public Works to provide an update in an upcoming Friday memo.
6. Signage on IW Lane‐This has been answered before. Council approved funding for this fiscal year. Project is part of a larger pavement and signage for the IWGR and hotel partners (painted logos on asphalt). The project is in design. New sign will include ability to add language should Council change the Vue's name.
Please note that Public Works is overwhelmed right now. Prior to any storm damage recovery, PW spends significant amount of time completing several capital projects (e.g., streets) over the summer to reduce the impact on residents. Their workload was further increased with Winn's lack of attention to the two affordable housing properties and pulling PW staff to assist. Yes there have been delays that were unforeseen and PW staff is working as quickly on the various PW projects.
ATTACHMENT #2
2 7. Solar Units at IW Villas‐WIFI working and awaiting report from Renova on needs. Until full assessment is done, we do not know what needs to be repaired. Will report back to Council once we know on actions and costs. AC units are currently being replaced and repaired as needed. Will ask PW for an update.
8. Update on public safety savings‐I will ask Public Safety Com mittee to respond.
9. Update on possible sales tax measure‐I will ask Finance Committe to respond.
10. Discussion on reimplementing Architectural Committee‐I will ask Council Ad‐Hoc on Committee and Commissions to respond. They recently finished their meetings with Planning Commission on this matter.
11. List of Ad hoc Committees‐I believe these are the various Council Ad hoc Committees working on various issues:
‐City Committees/Commissions (Griffith/Whitman)‐Still meeting with the various resident committees and will report when completed.
‐Governance (Reed/Whitman)‐has not met, but does have a meeting schedule. ‐Measure J (Sanders/Whitman)‐has met with City Attorney and will be bringing back items for discussion in October/November.
‐Golf (Griffith/Sanders)‐In active since previous Council report.
12. Balance left on $15 million bond‐Will have Kevin provide an update to all of Council.
13. Status of Parsons‐City Attorney to provide update in Closed Session on October 12.
14. Safe Streets‐Public Works has hired a consultant to assist with community engagement to begin in October/November. This work being done with grant to review safety of entire city. Will ask PW to provide any further updates.
15. Affordable housing on Hwy 111‐As previously shared. The design for the channel is not complete. It is premature to redesign the project on Hwy 111 until a design is finalized. Genton just closed on the Brixton site and is motivated to move the project forward. It will take a minimum of a few months to complete the design. Recommend we wait until 2024 to discuss. If you wish to agendize it would come back at a Housing Authority meeting. Perhaps at Strategic Planning in early 2024?
Hope this update is helpful. Those outstanding items from Ken and Kevin will be provided to Council when I return from Sacramento.

From Ty Peabody
Dater September 30,2023
I will only respond to certain sections of'your response to my m,enlo dated Septemher tL'2023.
My overall take away from your response is that there is a lack of sense of urgericy tp complete specific projects:
Solar Project - no further along on this issue than months ago - no actions apparently taken against Sitelogic. Not even a legal letter of a failure to perforrn.
Allowing construction area adjacent to tee on Celebrity One not put back to original condition. This certainly does not meet a "first class operation" standard. lmmediate action should be taken.
Signage lW Lane - lt doesn't take over 1/zyears to design and install a sign. Tommy Baharnas's sign is being installed now not !lryears later. I have been responsible for over 600 signs installed over my career. Never took this long!! Path Fairway and Vintage - The failure to do this project by now is inexcusable. lt was approved years ago and evgn Greg Sanders at one meeting recently said get the project completed. lt doesn't even require design work. What it does take is a sense of urgency and following Council's direction.''How could the sidewalk at Vicky's get done before Fairway? The area in front of the Vintage does not reflect well on the City. Take a look at Eldorado's area and how well maintained it is.
Finally, I still do not have the following: t
o Sales/revenue Fairway Grille (August and September)
o Balance left on band and what is City's intention with balance ATTACHMENT #3

Subject: Council Member Peabody Memo
Mayor Griffith & Chris:
Earlier today we received a copy of a memo from Council Member Peabody addressed to City Manager Chris Freeland lamenting an alleged “…lack of urgency to complete specific projects.”
I am troubled by Council Member Peabody’s habit of involving himself in administrative decisions properly made by our City Manager and his staff.
For example, he expresses displeasure that no “legal letter” has been sent to SitelogicIQ for its failure to install specialized solar equipment which city staff has determined is simply not available to anyone at this time. Absent a Council policy determination, the decision to send or not send a letter, and when to do so, is clearly an administrative decision to be made by the City Manager after consulting the City Attorney. If Council Member Peabody wants a letter sent, he should place the matter on a Council agenda where we can decide.
Council Member Peabody then complains that the construction area adjacent to Celebrity One has not yet been returned to its original condition. Again, when and how to handle this situation is clearly an administrative decision, not the purview of a single Council Member.
Next, he is flummoxed because the signage on IW Lane has not been completed. He implies that best practices concerning the awarding of public contracts give way to his decades of installing signs for the private sector. Again, unless the City Council wishes to intervene, this is not a policy decision, it is a combination of administrative action and state law.
ATTACHMENT #4
2 He claims it is “inexcusable” that his favorite project, a pathway on Fairway Drive, has not been completed to his liking. Again, absent a Council vote to the contrary, the timeline for completing projects is an administrative decision. The mere fact that Council Member Peabody is personally enamored with this project is not sufficient to cause it to leapfrog over other worthwhile projects in the city.
He continues to demand financial information, in excruating detail, about sales at The Vue. The fact that he has a familial interest in a competing restaurant makes this demand for detail even more troubling.
Section 2.03.060 of the city’s Policy Manual states as follows:
To uphold the integrity of the Council‐Manager form of governme nt and to provide proper checks and balances, Members of the Council shal l refrain from becoming directly involved in the administrative affairs of the City, which includes the Indian Wells Golf Resort, unless directed by a majority of the Council to participate in a specific policy or project.
I acknowledge, pursuant to the policy section cited above, Council Member Peabody’s actions are proper, if he is directed to do so by a majority of the Council.
Accordingly, please consider this email the required 14 day notice requesting that this matter be placed on the agenda at the October 19, 2023 meeting of the City Council where we can discuss this issue and vote whether or not to authorize Council Member Peabody to continue to be directly involved in these administrative matters.
Sincerely,
Dana Reed
bcc: City Council
