INDIAN WELLS CITY COUNCIL
February 13, 2025
To: City Council
From: City Manager's Department
Prepared by: Kristen Nelson, Administrative Services Manager Subject: Discussion regarding the adoption of a model resolution establishing a good neighbor policy focused on
homelessness
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:

Council DISCUSSES the adoption of a model resolution establishing a good neighbor policy on homelessness solutions for Coachella Valley Association of Government's (CVAG's) participating agencies; and
FINDS the project to be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15060.

BACKGROUND:

Current Engagement
The Community Behavioral Health Assessment Team (CBAT) is a collaborative initiative between the Riverside University Health System — Behavioral Health Department and local law enforcement agencies, including the Riverside County Sheriff's Department (RSO). CBAT pairs specially trained law enforcement officers with clinical therapists to respond to calls involving individuals experiencing mental health crises. The therapist leads the behavioral health assessment, while the officer ensures safety and provides law enforcement support.

CBAT units are deployed in various regions within Riverside County. Their response areas are not strictly limited to specific city boundaries. The deployment strategy aims to provide coverage across multiple jurisdictions, enhancing the capacity to address mental health crises throughout the county.

In situations where an individual requests mental health services during an encounter with law enforcement, RSO deputies are trained to assess the situation and can facilitate transportation to appropriate facilities, such as the Coachella Valley Rescue Mission

Page 1313 of 1361 ends

Council Agenda- February 13, 2025
(CVRM) or mental health treatment centers, without CBAT involvement. However, if a CBAT unit is available, their specialized expertise is utilized to ensure comprehensive care.

When CBAT responds and successfully engages an individual to accept services, the transportation protocol may vary. Depending on the circumstances, either the CBAT unit or RSO deputies may provide transportation to the designated facility, ensuring the individual's safety and continuity of care.

Regarding RSO's engagement with the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) concerning individuals on the CV 200 list, specific protocols and collaborative efforts are in place to address the needs of these individuals. RSO works in conjunction with CVAG and other stakeholders to provide appropriate interventions and support services, aiming to improve outcomes for individuals identified on the CV 200 list.

In summary, CBAT represents a multidisciplinary approach to mental health crises, integrating law enforcement and behavioral health services to provide effective and compassionate responses across Riverside County.

CVAG's Request
At its November 20, 2024 meeting, the CVAG Homelessness Committee discussed direction on a model resolution aimed to reinforce the commitment to regional homelessness solutions, establishing a "good neighbor policy" among CVAG member jurisdictions. At that meeting, Indian Wells representatives spoke out to recommend the resolution "encourage" rather than "require" its agencies, including law enforcement, and all homeless service providers receiving its funding support to notify neighboring public safety partners or another city agency whenever a homeless individual from this jurisdiction is transported to another jurisdiction for temporary housing, emergency shelter, and/or a permanent relocation within their jurisdiction.

At its December 2, 2024 meeting, the CVAG Executive Committee endorsed a model resolution that reinforces a shared commitment to regional homelessness solutions and establishes a good neighbor policy across the region (Attachment 1). The recommended change from"require" to "encourage" was included in the model resolution presented at the meeting (Attachment 2).

CVAG leadership is now asking each of their member jurisdictions to take the model resolution up with their Council/ Board for adoption. The goal, says Executive Director Tom Kirk, is to "[remind] our communities, including our new elected officials, that we are a region that works collaboratively and that we do not condone solving homelessness by just dumping homeless individuals off in another community."

STAFF REPORT
Subject: Good Neighbor Policy for Homelessness Coordination Contact: Erica Felci, Chief Operating Officer (efelci(a�cvaq.orq) Recommendation: Endorse a model resolution that reinforces the commitment to regional homelessness solutions by establishing a good neighbor policy across CVAG's region and direct the Executive Director to distribute to member jurisdictions Public Safety and Homelessness Committee: Both committees concurred and their feedback was incorporated into the draft resolution. (Meetings of November 18 and November 20) Background: In September 2024, CVAG's Public Safety and Homelessness Committees held a joint meeting to discuss the regional ramifications of the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark ruling in the case of City of Grants Pass v. Johnson, which effectively set a new standard on how local municipalities can address homeless encampments on public property. The case stemmed from the enforcement of anti - camping laws in Grants Pass, Oregon, which had led to fines and penalties for homeless individuals camping on public property. As noted in the joint meeting, the Court's ruling prompted Gov. Gavin Newsom to issue an executive order that immediately changed how California's state agencies addressed encampments and it prompted at least two Coachella Valley to update their own ordinances.

The local ordinances and approaches prompted a lengthy discussion at the September 18 meeting of the Homelessness and Public Safety Committees. At the time, CVAG staff sought direction on whether to create a model ordinance for the Coachella Valley that addresses homeless encampments on public property. It was noted in the staff report that having a cohesive approach across the region could be beneficial to cities, agencies or service providers seeking future grant opportunities. It also could create a cohesive approach to regional, public spaces, including active transportation projects like CV Link and open spaces managed by the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission. Committee members were divided on the concept of a model ordinance, with some members noting that their cities are satisfied with the ordinances that already exist. Instead, staff was directed to return with any model ordinance under development by Riverside County and consider how to promote a collaborative approach through a memorandum of understanding or a "good neighbor" policy.

The Grants Pass v. Johnson ruling was a 6-3 decision. In reversing the Ninth Court ruling, the Supreme Court held that anti -camping ordinances did not violate the Eighth Amendment when they were applied in a manner that targeted the conduct of camping in public spaces and not the status of being homeless.

The Court also acknowledged there was interest in maintaining public health, safety, and welfare, which in this case included preventing hazards at public spaces in order to have them accessible for the general public.

Page 1316 of 1361 ends

Council Agenda- February 13, 2025
Staff with Riverside County's Executive Office continue to evaluate the ruling and determine whether a countywide ordinance will be brought forward or whether the existing ordinances are sufficient. As of early November, County staff indicated this process was still in the discussion stage and no decision had been made about what next steps may be coming forward. Should an ordinance move forward, staff notes that it would require some time to determine details such as how to handle citation fines and logistics such as how to cover the costs of storing any items collected during an encampment cleanup.

CVAG staff will continue to monitor the County's efforts. In the meantime, staff sought feedback from the Public Safety and Homelessness Committees on a proposed model resolution that would reaffirm the region's commitment to collaboration on addressing homelessness, particularly in terms of cleaning up encampments. In developing this resolution, CVAG staff reached out to the City of Corona as it had been lauded at the September meeting for its work on prompting collaboration and coordination in homelessness services. Corona has a memorandum of understanding with other southwest Riverside County cities to share resources and address areas such as the Santa Ana riverbed. Corona also has a "good neighbor policy" that is used in contracts with services providers to address concerns from businesses and residents about the potential negative impacts from a homeless shelter and/or affordable housing developments. It has been adopted by the Riverside County's Continuum of Care and was used to inspire the proposed CVAG resolution.

Staff would note that CVAG's member jurisdictions generally collaborate on homelessness issues, as evidenced by the success seen with the CV Housing First program. But this collaboration has been the result political leadership, not formal policy. Having each member jurisdiction adopt a resolution will help ensure that the practice is codified and continues into the future. The resolution would encourage communication between neighbors, meaning that a city's police or code enforcement would be notified anytime another jurisdiction is relocating a homeless individual into their jurisdiction for temporary housing, emergency shelter or even a permanent relocation. Based on discussion and feedback at the November meetings of both the Public Safety Committee and the Homelessness Committee, this resolution would provide a strong encouragement of cooperation but not set a formal requirement. It would apply to city agencies as well as homeless providers, including CVAG's own CV Housing First program.

Staff is recommending the Executive Committee endorse the model resolution and direct the Executive Director to distribute it to member jurisdictions for their consideration and adoption.

Fiscal Analysis: There is no cost to CVAG for this update. Work related to the draft resolution is covered under existing staff resources.

Decision:

How it affects
California
How is California responding to
the Supreme Court's ruling?
In response to the Supreme Court ruling,
Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-1-24
on July 25, 2024. This Order directs state
agencies and departments to move with urgency
and compassion in addressing encampments on
state property.

As the state's leader in ending and preventing
homelessness, the California Interagency Council
on Homelessness (Cal ICH) will continue to
support agencies and departments in their design
and implementation of policies, funding and
programs that serve people experiencing
homelessness, including those described in
Executive Order N-1-24. To ensure state and local
partners incorporate evidenced -based practices in
their respective encampment responses, Cal ICH
will host a series of webinars throughout the
month of August 2024.

Furthermore, per Welfare and Institutions Code
(WIC) section 8256, Cal ICH will continue
supporting state agencies and departments in
adopting guidelines and regulations that
incorporate the core components of Housing First
into, "any programs a California state agency or
department funds, implements, or administers for
the purpose of providing housing or housing -
based services to people experiencing
homelessness or at risk of homelessness."

What is the City of
Grants Pass v.

Johnson case?
The City of Grants Pass v.

Johnson is a federal court case
brought by unhoused persons in
Grants Pass, Oregon, who argued
that the City's practice of
ticketing unhoused individuals for
camping in public violated the
Eighth Amendment of the United
States Constitution, which
prohibits the government from
imposing "cruel and unusual
punishment" on criminal
defendants. The Ninth Circuit
Court of Appeals, which includes
California, upheld the decision.

On June 28, 2024, the Supreme
Court ruled that enforcing laws
that prohibit camping on public
property is not cruel and unusual
punishment. As a result, local
governments across the country
may freely enforce laws
regulating camping on public
property.

How does this ruling impact cities and C®t it ri 1 10?2025 Cities and counties will have more flexibility to address encampments and enforce laws regulating public camping. However, to ensure the safety, wellness, and dignity of persons experiencing homelessness, Cal ICH remains committed to supporting state and local partners in using person -centered, trauma -informed, and evidence -based approaches to address homelessness. Cal ICH will continue to identify and share resources to support local planning efforts and encourages local partners to incorporate these elements when addressing the housing and services needs of persons experiencing unsheltered homelessness. Additional emerging, promising, and evidence -based best practice resources can be found on Cal ICH's newly relaunched Resource Library.

The Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) will be making additional funding available for the Encampment Resolution Fund (ERF) program. The program provides competitive grant funding to assist local jurisdictions in providing services and supports to people experiencing homelessness in encampments and to provide meaningful paths to safe and stable housing. Eligible applicants include counties, Continuums of Care (CoCs), and cities of any size. Please contact [email protected] for more information.

Cal ICH encourages all state and local partners to reach out with any questions on best practices for working with people experiencing unsheltered homelessness. All questions can be directed to [email protected].

INDIAN WELLS CITY COUNCIL
February 13, 2025
To: City Council
From: Finance Department
Prepared by: Kevin McCarthy, Finance Director
Subject: Consideration of Potential Local Transactions and Use/Sales Tax Ballot Measure
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:

Council DISCUSSES Options to Consider Potential Local Transactions and Use/Sales Tax Ballot Measure; and,
FINDS the project to be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15060.

SUMMARY:

The Finance Committee convened on January 14, 2025, to conduct a comprehensive review of a potential Local Transactions and Use Tax Ballot Measure (referred to herein as a "sales tax measure" or "measure"). Following its analysis, the Committee recommends that the City Council consider proposing a sales tax measure to Indian Wells voters at the November 2026 regular municipal election.

Consideration of a potential 1% increase in sales tax, aligning with similar measures adopted by neighboring cities, is projected to generate an estimated $1.7 million to $2.0 million in additional General Fund revenue during the first year of implementation. Cities within the Coachella Valley —including Cathedral City, Coachella, Indio, La Quinta, Palm Desert, and Palm Springs —have implemented comparable measures, providing a precedent.

If the City Council decides to move forward with this effort, Staff recommends adopting the following phased approach, consistent with practices employed by other cities in the region:

1. Conduct a Public Opinion Poll
Prior to incurring ballot -related costs, consider conducting a poll of residents to gauge community support. The results of the poll would then be presented to the City Council for consideration.

Page 1322 of 1361 ends

Council Agenda- February 13, 2025

2. Issue an RFP for Voter Education and Ballot Services If the polling data indicates a favorable environment for proceeding with the ballot measure, issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to procure services for voter education about the measure and ballot preparation.

3. Proceed with the Ballot Measure
If the City Council finds the projected costs of the ballot measure to be acceptable, Staff will seek formal Council direction to proceed with the necessary steps to place the measure on the ballot for voter consideration.

This structured approach ensures a data -driven decision -making process and aligns with the strategies employed by other municipalities.

BACKGROUND:

During the 2024 Strategic Planning Session, the City Council identified the evaluation of a local sales tax measure as a potential mechanism to address anticipated increases in public safety costs. However, this Strategic Planning Goal was temporarily placed on hold pending further updates on the projected cost escalations for fire protection and law enforcement services.

Fire Protection Cost Increases: CalFire Staffing Ad:ustments Beginning in Fiscal Year 2024-25, CalFire reduced the standard firefighter workweek from 72 to 66 hours, effective November 1, 2024. This change required additional personnel to maintain a minimum staffing. CALFIRE firefighters' standard workweek is anticipated to be reduced from 66 hours to 56 hours, the industry standard, through bargaining in 2026. Additionally, the current staffing model must be converted to the industry standard, creating higher operational costs for the City's fire protection services.

Although the precise portion of the cost increase directly attributable to the workweek reduction has not been delineated, the overall staffing adjustments under the new deployment model have contributed to higher operational costs for the City's fire protection services.

Law Enforcement Cost Increases: Riverside County Sheriff's Department As of January 2025, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department is in the final stages of labor negotiations, which are anticipated to further increase the cost of providing law enforcement services to contract cities, including Indian Wells. These negotiations, combined with recently approved wage adjustments, will have a material financial impact on the City's law enforcement expenditures.

Page 1323 of 1361 ends

Council Agenda- February 13, 2025
Key Developments Affecting Law Enforcement Costs:
• Base Hourly Rate Increase: In April 2024, The Riverside County Board of Supervisors recently approved a 2.45% increase in the base contract hourly rate for patrol personnel, raising the rate from $209.35 to $214.47 per hour, retroactive to July 1, 2023.
• Cost of Living Adjustments (COLA):
o In December 2024, the Board of Supervisors approved a 9% COLA for the Riverside Sheriff's Association (RSA), increasing personnel costs. o The Sheriff's Department has indicated that additional COLA adjustments of 5% in December 2025 and 5% in December 2026 are forthcoming. o Labor Union Negotiations (LEMU): While the Law Enforcement Management Unit (LEMU) has not yet completed its contract negotiations, it is expected to align with these COLA adjustments, further contributing to rising personnel costs.

Given these developments, the City must proactively assess and incorporate these increasing costs into its long-term financial planning. A thorough evaluation of contractual obligations, budgetary impacts, and potential cost -mitigation strategies will be essential to ensuring fiscal sustainability while maintaining high -quality law enforcement services.

Although the exact financial impact on Indian Wells has not yet been determined, these developments indicate that the City will experience substantial increases in contracted public safety service costs.

Recognizing the fiscal implications of these rising costs, the Finance and Public Safety Committees will convene over the coming months to conduct a comprehensive budgetary analysis and evaluate potential funding strategies to ensure the sustainability of public safety services.

Public safety remains the City's highest priority, and these discussions will play a critical role in shaping financial planning efforts to maintain essential services while ensuring long-term fiscal stability.

Advantages of a General Sales Tax Measure
A general sales tax measure is a tool local government in California use to raise revenue for local services and programs that benefit the community as a whole. Unlike special taxes, which are earmarked for specific purposes, general sales tax measures provide flexibility in how the funds are used, allowing cities and counties to address a wide range of issues. These measures can respond to General Fund budget shortfalls or enhance services. Under State law, a general sales tax measure requires majority voter approval.

Page 1324 of 1361 ends

Council Agenda- February 13, 2025
Additionally, sales tax revenue is often associated with new business development. By strategically attracting new business development that caters to both residents and visitors, Indian Wells can enhance its sales tax base, providing funding for essential services such as public safety.

Key Features of a General Sales Tax Measure for the City Council to consider:

1. Purpose:
a. The revenue from a general sales tax can be used for any purpose that supports the local government's operations.
b. Examples include funding police and fire services, parks, public works, or addressing budget shortfalls.

2. Approval Threshold:
a. Requires a simple majority vote (50% + one vote) to pass. b. In contrast, a special tax earmarked for a specific purpose requires two- thirds (2/3) voter approval to pass.

3. Who Proposes It?
a. The local City Council usually places the measure on the ballot. b. Public input through opinion polling and community surveys would guide whether such a measure is pursued.
c. Another option is a voter initiative: a voter initiative allows residents to propose local laws or amendments to city charters without relying on the City Council. Proponents draft the measure, submit it for a title and summary, and collect signatures from registered city voters.

4. Who Pays the Tax?
a. Residents and visitors alike pay the tax when they make purchases within the jurisdiction, except for items exempt from sales tax (e.g., most groceries and prescription medicines).
b. This makes it a popular revenue source in cities with high tourism or retail activity, as it spreads the tax burden beyond local residents.

5. Tax Rate:
a. California's statewide base sales tax is 7.25%, but cities in Riverside County can add their own sales taxes, up to an additional 1.5% to that rate. b. A comprehensive review of sales tax policies across Riverside County reveals that sixteen (16) cities have implemented a general sales tax measure, establishing a local sales tax rate of 1.0% or higher. This trend reflects a broader fiscal strategy employed by municipalities to enhance revenue streams and address growing budgetary demands, particularly in areas such as public safety, infrastructure, and essential municipal services. i. A website search revealed that all 16 cities conducted a general sales tax election requiring voter approval of 50% plus one vote.

Page 1325 of 1361 ends

Council Agenda- February 13, 2025
c. To provide a comprehensive analysis, City Staff has included a report from the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA), which details all cities across the State of California that have enacted tax rate increases, including those specifically within Riverside County. This report is a valuable benchmark for evaluating regional taxation trends, offering key insights into how peer municipalities have structured their local sales tax policies to support long-term financial sustainability.

6. Advantages:
a. Flexibility: The funds are not earmarked, so local governments can allocate them to City programs and services that require funding in any particular year and then reallocate them to different programs and services in future years, depending on funding priorities.
b. Broader Tax Base: Visitors contribute to the tax revenue, reducing the burden on residents.
c. Lower Voter Approval Threshold to Pass: The simple majority requirement makes it more achievable than special tax measures.

7. Challenges:
a. Accountability Concerns: Voters may worry that the funds won't be used as effectively since they're not earmarked.
b. Public Perception: If voters feel overtaxed or see no visible improvements, they might reject the measure or future tax proposals.

In addition to capturing increased sales activity, the measure, in accordance with state regulations, would enable the City to collect sales tax on vehicle purchases registered to Indian Wells addresses, irrespective of where the vehicles are purchased.

The table below provides an estimate of the additional annual sales tax revenue the City may collect, based on the number of registered vehicles and national averages for vehicle lifecycles and sales prices. This projection is based on publicly available data and industry trends; however, actual revenue may vary due to fluctuations in vehicle sales, registration patterns, and market conditions.

Local Cities
Voters in other cities within the Coachella Valley —including Cathedral City, Coachella, Indio, La Quinta, Palm Desert, and Palm Springs —have approved similar measures.

Recently, Palm Desert voters approved Measure "G" in November 2024, which increased the city's sales tax rate by 1% to 8.75%. These cities have reported enhanced revenue generation and fostered public understanding and support during their engagement processes. Below is a table of surrounding cities that have increased their sales tax rate.

Protected Impact on Indian Wells
A proposed 1% increase in the sales tax, in line with neighboring cities, is expected to raise General Fund revenues by approximately $1.7 million to $2.0 million during the first year of implementation. Additionally, the Finance Committee can anticipate this revenue figure to increase by 2.75% to 3.50% after the first year, based on 10 -year trailing averages.

A sales tax increase in Indian Wells would predominantly affect non-residents, which account for an estimated 80% of the City's current sales tax revenue. Of the projected $2.0 million in additional revenue, approximately $1.6 million would be derived from visitors.

The remaining 20%, or roughly $0.4 million, would impact Indian Wells residents, primarily through expenditures on non -grocery food and beverage purchases. California law exempts most groceries, prescription medications, and specific medical devices from sales tax. Moreover, residents are already subject to similar sales tax rates when shopping or dining in neighboring cities that have enacted comparable measures.

By pursuing a sales tax measure, Indian Wells would strategically expand its revenue base while minimizing the financial burden on residents. Revenue from such a measure could offset increased public safety service costs and enhance the City's capacity to invest in infrastructure, public safety, and community amenities.

Page 1327 of 1361 ends

Council Agenda- February 13, 2025
The State of California is currently reviewing existing sales tax laws to address the growing volume of online retail transactions and ensure a more equitable distribution of tax revenues among municipalities. Under the proposed legislative changes, a portion of sales tax revenue would be allocated to cities based on the point of delivery rather than solely based on the location of the seller or fulfillment center, as is currently the case. If these proposed modifications are enacted, the City of Indian Wells stands to benefit from an enhanced revenue allocation structure.

Steps to the Ballot
Should the City Council direct staff to explore a potential Ballot Measure, below are a series of steps that the Council could consider.

The Clerk and Legal departments will assist in developing the ballot materials, but there are two components to the November 2026 ballot process. The City could conduct a public opinion poll on adjusting the Sales Tax to gauge voter sentiment and preferences. Once polling data is complete, an educational effort will inform voters about the Sales Tax and its impact on the community.

Sales Tax Polling
Polling services before a municipal ballot are important for several reasons. They serve as a beacon of predictive accuracy, offering insights into voter sentiment. Thus, Indian Wells can tailor a measure to expressed voter preferences.

Furthermore, polls serve as a powerful tool for prioritizing the electorate's concerns, ensuring that the City addresses the issues closest to voters' hearts. The demographic data gleaned from polling facilitates outreach efforts and paints a picture of the diverse tapestry of opinions within the community.

Publicized polling results empower the electorate with heightened awareness, potentially driving greater civic engagement and turnout on election day. Thus, polling emerges as an important pillar of the democratic process, providing valuable insights that shape the course of municipal governance.

If approved, staff will select and work with the polling firm and the Legal Department to develop the questionnaire. Polling firms are highly qualified and bring tremendous expertise and guidance. These firms bring scientific rigor to the process, ensuring an accurate representation of public opinion through random sampling and unbiased questioning techniques. Their expertise provides valuable insights into voter sentiment.

Council Agenda- February 13, 2025
Education and Outreach
It will also be important for Indian Wells to undertake a resident education program when proposing a sales tax measure for several reasons. Firstly, with a clear understanding of how additional tax revenue could be utilized and its potential benefits, residents will be better informed and more confident as they consider whether to support the ballot measure.

Moreover, a well-informed electorate is essential for fostering trust and transparency in local governance. By providing residents with detailed information about the sales tax's intended purposes and how it will bolster public services, the City can build credibility and demonstrate accountability to our constituents.

Additionally, an educated electorate will more likely recognize the importance of funding public services. Furthermore, resident education efforts can address misconceptions or concerns surrounding the proposed tax measure, fostering constructive dialogue and engagement within the community. This open communication ensures that residents feel empowered to make informed decisions about the future of their local public services and infrastructure.

Recommendation of the Finance Committee
During its meeting on January 14, 2025, the Finance Committee approved a recommendation for the City Council to consider a potential Sales Tax Ballot Measure for the November 2026 election cycle. The discussion primarily focused on the recent increase in public safety costs described above, prompting the need for new revenue sources. The Finance Committee noted that a sales tax increase in Indian Wells would mainly impact non-residents, who account for approximately 80% of the city's sales tax revenue. By pursuing a sales tax initiative, Indian Wells aims to strategically broaden its revenue base while reducing the financial burden on its residents.

OPTIONS:

1. Approve the Finance Committee's recommendation to begin exploring the possibility of a Sales Tax Ballot Measure. This involves seeking bids for polling and education outreach services.

2. Decide against considering a potential Sales Tax Ballot Measure.

3. Provide alternative instructions to the staff.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA):

This action has been reviewed by 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.

Council Agenda- February 13, 2025

INDIAN WELLS CITY COUNCIL
February 13, 2025
To: City Council
From: City Manager Department
Prepared by: Christopher Freeland, City Manager
Subject: Approval of Design Enhancements as Part of the Players Course Redesign

RECOMMENDED
ACTIONS:

Council APPROVES the staff -recommended enhancements to the area surrounding the Indian Wells Golf Resort Pavillion and other design features recommended by the Golf Resort Advisory Committee as presented in this report; and AUTHORIZES the City Manager to execute a change order in the amount of $50,000, for the 75/25 bunker sand blend; and
FINDS the project to be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15060.

BACKGROUND:

At the October 24, 2024, City Council meeting, the City Council awarded the bid for the redesign of the Players Course, which included a small budget to have Chris Hermann, Hermann Design Group, provide a site plan for additional enhancements to the area between the Players and Celebrity Courses, as well as the area around the pavilion. In addition, the Council delegated various course design features (e.g., tee markers, sand quality, benches, etc.) to be discussed by the Golf Resort Advisory Committee with recommendations to the City Council.

Pavillion Area Enhancements
After discussions with Troon staff and John Fought, Chris Hermann has provided the attached site plan to enhance the area around the pavilion and the connectivity of the two golf courses (Attachment No. 1). These proposed enhancements do not alter the previously approved golf course redesign of the Players Course, Players putting green, short game course, or fire road.

Page 1347 of 1361 ends

Council Agenda- February 13, 2025
The proposed enhancements include:
• Removal of the path leading from Celebrity #9 to the bridge. Instead, golfers finishing Celebrity #9 will be redirected to the cart path leading to the Fairway Grill.
• Planned location for the four-sided golf clock that has been ordered. • Revised landscaping separating the fire road from the pavilion. • Addition of a short hedge delineating the pavilion special event grass to provide added privacy for those hosting events at the pavilion. • Potential to incorporate public art as you cross the bridge.

A slight modification to the proposed plan is anticipated to accommodate golf cart travel between Celebrity #9, the existing wedding event space, and the new Celebrity putting green. Troon and John Fought will incorporate any necessary changes to preserve these areas and further enhance the landscaping in the entire area.

Finally, Chris Hermann has proposed expanding the east patio area of the pavilion to provide a better connection between the pavilion and the special event lawn. This is not part of the proposed project, but it could be considered in the future when the City analyzes improvements to the pavilion to better insulate the facility.

The Golf Resort Advisory Committee reviewed the proposed site plan at their February 3, 2025, meeting. There was no objection to the plan. They did suggest further discussion on the installation of a digital reader board, rather than a public art installation. Staff will have further discussions with the Golf Resort Advisory Committee on digital signage at a future Committee Meeting.

If approved, Troon will incorporate the design enhancements into the existing redesign budget. Any additional funding requests will be brought back for Council discussion before approving any change orders.

Players Course Design Features Recommendations
At the February 3, 2025, Golf Resort Advisory Committee meeting, the committee unanimously approved new tee markers and flagsticks. Attachment No. 2 illustrates the new flagsticks, flag design, and tee markers that will be incorporated into the Players Course redesign and simultaneously placed on the Celebrity Course.

The Golf Resort Advisory Committee also discussed different sand quality to be included in the Players Course redesign. There discussion was on two distinct United States Golf Association sand utilized on premier golf courses (75/25 and 50/50). The 50/50 mixture was recommended by Troon, due to cost, and incorporated into the project bid. A change in the sand quality will require a change order for the project.

Page 1348 of 1361 ends

Council Agenda- February 13, 2025
• A 75/25 Sand mixture is a blend of 75% Augusta White and 25% Desert Tan Sand. It is whiter and brighter than a 50/50 blend.
o Pros:
• High aesthetic visual during winter months
• Enhances definition of bunkers
o Cons:
• More maintenance to maintain proper color
• Shorter life cycle with contamination (Native Soil & Algae) ■ Imperfections are more noticeable
• High solar radiation and reflection during periods of heat ■ Slightly more expensive than 50/50 blend
• 50/50 Sand mixture Sand is a blend of 50% Augusta White and 50% Desert Tan Sand. It is less white and brighter than a 75/25 blend. o Pros:
• Less labor intensive
• Longer life cycle with contamination (Native Soil & Algae) • Replaced more infrequently
• Solar radiation and reflection are less
• Cheaper than 75/25 blend
o Cons:
■ Different color aesthetic
• Not as defining around bunker surrounds
After extensive discussion, the Committee unanimously approved the 75/25 bunker sand mixture for the Players Course. Their support was based on the desire for the new Players Course to have the higher quality sand that would make the course "pop." The cost differential between the 75/25 and 50/50 is approximately $40,000 every two years. The Committee also expressed concern about the increase in maintenance that the 75/25 sand mixture would have on staffing. Troon confirmed the 75/25 mixture would have some impact on staffing, but that it would be absorbed within the additional staffing already being needed to maintain the new Players Course in its premier state.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The costs to enhance the area between the Players Course, Celebrity Course, and Pavillion Area are expected to be absorbed within the current Players Course Redesign. If approved, Staff will confirm with Troon the costs to make these improvements and report back if the costs require an change order, prior to commencing work.

A change order in the amount of $50,000 for the 75/25 sand mixture will be charged against the contingency budget for the project.

Costs for tee markers, flagsticks, and flags will be absorbed in the IWGR budget.

Settlement Authority

RECOMMENDED
ACTIONS:

Council DISCUSSES and provides DIRECTION on Council Member Sanders' request to place a discussion item on a future City Council agenda; and FINDS the project to be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15060.

BACKGROUND:

Pursuant to Section 2.06.040 of the City Council Policy Manual, Council Member Sanders seeks to initiate a formal discussion to grant settlement authority to the City Manager for claims against the City that do not qualify for service by the City's insurance provider (California Joint Powers Authority) and have been determined by legal counsel and the City Manager as matters that are best settled than litigated.

Additionally, the Indian Wells City Council Policy Manual Section 3.01.030 addresses the process for a Council Member to request items for placement on the City Council Agenda.

Section 3.01.030 PLACING ITEMS ON AGENDA. A Council member may request an Item be considered on a future agenda, verbally during a City Council meeting or by informing the City Manager. The request shall be submitted wherever reasonably possible at 14 calendar days in advance of a Council meeting. The item will be agendized at the next regularly scheduled meeting for consideration by the Council under the Council Reports section of the agenda with the initiating Council member's name. The Council Member may, at their discretion, prepare a written report.

Recently, a claim against the City was submitted to the City that did not qualify for insurance coverage by the City. The claim was for a nominal amount. After review by the City's Risk Manager, City Attorney, and City Manager, it was determined it to be in

Page 1353 of 1361 ends

Council Agenda- February 13, 2025
the City's best interest to settle the claim, rather than incur legal expenses that would likely exceed the value of the claim. This occurrence rarely happens, but there is not a City policy in place to address such claims. Councilmember Sanders has requested a discussion to establish a policy to address future claims of a similar nature.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA):

The action is not a project within the meaning of Section 15378 of the State of California Environmental Quality Act C'CEQA') Guidelines, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment, directly or indirectly; and that the action is nonetheless exempt from the requirements of CEQA in that the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

RECOMMENDED
ACTIONS:

Council DISCUSSES and provides DIRECTION on Council Member Taylor's request to place the modification of the Official City Seal discussion item on a future City Council agenda; and
FINDS the project to be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15060.

DISCUSSION:

Per Section 2.06.040 of the City Council Policy Manual, Council Member Toper Taylor would like to discuss modifying the City's Official Seal.

Additionally, the Indian Wells City Council Policy Manual Section 3.01.030 addresses the process for a Council Member to request items for placement on the City Council Agenda.

Originally established in 1967, the City Seal is two circles, one inside the other, with the words City of Indian Wells, California in the outer circle, and the words Incorporated July 14, 1967, in the inner circle.

Page 1355 of 1361 ends

Council Agenda- February 13, 2025
The City Seal is below.

In addition, the City of Indian Wells has utilized the logo below as an unofficial seal for City documents. The logo is the Indian Wells arrowhead with the depiction of a golfer with the sun, palm tree, and mountains in the background. The Latin phrase Multum In Parvo (Much in a little) is also on the logo.

Council Member Taylor requests Council discussion to include a tennis player to complement the golfer in this logo and to formally adopt as the City's Seal. Additionally, he wishes the City incorporate "tennis and racquet sports" destination be utilized when describing the City in publications, websites, etc. This language would be utilized to complement the existing description of Indian Wells as a golfing destination.

Per the Council Policy Manual, if the City Council has an interest in doing so, staff will bring back the matter at a future City Council meeting with options to make the changes.
