Council Agenda- January 15, 2026

Fiscal Prudence:

Aligned with fiduciary duty, the city adheres to a prudent investment approach, considering economic conditions and anticipated needs. Investments are guided by a written policy emphasizing safety, liquidity, and yield.

BACKGROUND:

The Treasurer's Report provides a monthly update on cash activity and the investment portfolio, ensuring reconciliation with the General Ledger. Investments align with the city's investment policy and State legislation, covering U.S. treasuries, federal ag ency securities, corporate notes, municipal bonds, CDs, and overnight cash investments.

Investment Strategy:

The city's investment portfolio is designed to achieve a market rate of return within risk constraints. Diversification across institutions, security types, and maturities maximizes safety and yield amid changing market conditions.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The investment portfolio generated $414,955.20 in earnings for November 2025. The investment strategy aims for consistent returns throughout budgetary and economic cycles, reflecting prudent risk management. Moreover, the strategy's success in consistently generating returns reflects its adaptability to changing market conditions. As economic cycles fluctuate, the city's investment approach remains resil ient, adjusting to dynamic financial landscapes to optimize safety and yield.

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 this resolution 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.

INDIAN WELLS CITY COUNCIL
January 15, 2026

To: City Council
From: Community Development Department
Prepared by: Jon Berg, Community Development Director
Subject: Ordinance Amending Chapter 21.85 of the Indian Wells Municipal Code Relating to Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units to Comply with Recent
Changes in State Law, and finding the Action to be
Statutorily Exempt From CEQA Under Public Resources Code § 21080.17

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:

Council OPENS the public hearing, receive public testimony, close the public hearing ; and

INTRODUCES for first reading by title only an ordinance Amending Chapter 21.85 of the City of Indian Wells Municipal Code relating to Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units to comply with recent changes in State Law; and

FINDS that the adoption of the proposed ordinance is statutorily exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Public Resources Code § 21080.17.

DISCUSSION
In recent years, the California Legislature has approved, and the Governor has signed into law, a number of bills that impose new limits on local authority to regulate Accessory Dwelling Units (“ADU”) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (“JADU”). In late 2025, four new bills were enacted that further amend state ADU law as summarized below.

The proposed ordinance (Attachment 1) will amend Chapter 21.85 of the Indian Wells Municipal Code to comply with recent changes to state law that impose new limits on local authority to regulate Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs). Except as otherwise noted, these new laws took effect on January 1, 2026.

Typically, an ordinance affecting planning and zoning is approved by City Council after the Planning Commission recommendation, a first reading and introduction before the Council and then a second reading at a regular Council meeting — with the ordinance taking effect 30 days following adoption.

Page 156 of 248 ends

Council Agenda- January 15, 2026

Considering the timeline required to formally adopt the ordinance would post date the state’s January 1, 2026, deadline, City Council took action at their December 4, 2025 meeting to adopt the proposed ordinance as an urgency ordinance, ensuring the city’s ADU regulations would remain in compliance with state law during the processing period of the formal ordinance adoption.

The Planning Commission subsequently considered the proposed ADU ordinance during a Public Hearing on December 18, 2025, and adopted Resolution P.C. No. 2025-09 (Attachment 2) recommending City Council adopt the proposed ordinance, which would formalize the urgency ordinance adopted at City Council’s December 4, 2025, meeting.

AB 462 – Coastal Development Permits; Disaster-Affected Areas AB 462 modifies several permitting requirements associated with processing Coastal Development Permits (“CDP”) for ADUs located in the Coastal Zone.

Although the City of Indian Wells is not within a Costal Zone and not subject to CDP requirements, AB 462 also modifies the rules governing the issuance of a certificate of occupancy (CofO) for an ADU. Historically, state law has prohibited a local agency from issuing a CofO for an ADU before one is issued for the primary dwelling (i.e., the primary dwelling must have a CofO before the ADU can receive one). AB 462 creates a narrow exception to this prohibition for detached ADUs when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) the Governor has declared a state of emergency for the county on or after February 1, 2025; (2) the primary dwelling was substantially damaged or destroyed by an event referenced in the state of emergency proclamation; and (3) the ADU has been issued construction permits and passed all required inspections. (Gov. Code, § 66328(b).) If these conditions are satisfied, the detached ADU can receive a CofO before the primary dwelling. In all other scenarios, the primary dwelling still needs a CofO before one can be issued for an ADU.

AB 462 was enacted as an urgency measure that took effect immediately when signed by the Governor (on October 10, 2025).

The following three (3) bills were enacted as non-urgency measures and take effect on January 1, 2026.

AB 1154 – JADU Owner-Occupancy; Short-Term Rental
When a JADU is developed, existing state law requires a property owner to reside in the JADU or remaining portion of the single-family dwelling. AB 1154 narrows this requirement to now only apply when a JADU shares sanitation facilities (bathroom) with the single-family dwelling. If the JADU has its own bathroom, then the property owner does not have to reside on the property at all. (See amended Gov. Code, § 66333(b).)

Page 157 of 248 ends

Council Agenda- January 15, 2026

AB 1154 also expressly prohibits JADUs from being used as short-term rentals (i.e., rented for a term shorter than 30 days). (See amended Gov. Code, § 66333(g).) The City’s current ADU ordinance already included this prohibition, but now it’s required by state law.

SB 9; SB 543 – ADU Ordinance Submittal to HCD; Approval Under existing law, local agencies are required to submit a copy of their ADU ordinance to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) within 60 days of adoption.

This year’s SB 91 and SB 543 create a penalty for failing to do so by rendering null and void any local ordinance that is not submitted to HCD within 60 days of adoption. (See amended Gov. Code, § 66326(d); new Gov. Code, § 66333.5(d).) The bills further specify that a local ADU ordinance is null and void if HCD issues findings that the ordinance does not comply with state law and the local agency fails to respond to HCD within 30 days. (Id.)
SB 543 – ADU Size; Number of ADUs; Impact Fees; Permitting Timeline SB 543 makes numerous changes and clarifications to state ADU law, the most notable of which are summarized below.

ADU & JADU Size
Existing law limits the maximum size of a JADU to 500 square feet and prohibits local ADU ordinances from imposing certain development standards that would prevent an ADU created under Government Code section 66314 through 66322 from being at least 800 square feet.

SB 543 amends state ADU law to specify that allowable square footage of an ADU or JADU refers to square footage of “interior livable space.” (See amended Gov. Code, § 66313(d), 66321(b)(2).)
Impact Fees
Existing law exempts ADUs that are 750 square feet or smaller from development impacts fees (DIFs).

SB 543 clarifies that DIFs may not be imposed on an ADU that has 750 or fewer square feet of interior livable space or on a JADU with 500 or fewer square feet of interior livable space.

1 Not to be confused with the SB 9 of 2021 (Stats. 2021, Ch. 162) regarding urban lot splits and second primary dwelling units.

Page 158 of 248 ends

Council Agenda- January 15, 2026

The bill also exempts an ADU or JADU with fewer than 500 square feet of interior livable space from school impact fees. (See amended Gov. Code, § 66311.5.) Quantity of ADUs Created Under Government Code Section 66323 Existing state law creates four categories of ADUs that must be approved if they comply with the limited standards provided in Government Code section 66323(a)(1)–(4). These are:
(1) a converted ADU and JADU created on a lot with a proposed or existing single- family dwelling (Gov. Code, § 66323(a)(1));
(2) a detached ADU created on a lot with a proposed or existing single-family dwelling (Gov. Code, § 66323(a)(2));
(3) converted ADUs created in an existing multifamily dwelling (Gov. Code, § 66323(a)(3)); and
(4) detached ADUs created on a lot with a proposed or existing multifamily dwelling.

For some time, there has been uncertainty as to whether ADUs created under Government Code section 66323 could be combined. Some practitioners interpreted the statute to not require local agencies to allow combinations. Initially, HCD took the same position, in its 2020 ADU Handbook. But for the last few years, HCD has taken the opposite position: that yes, combinations are permitted. (See HCD January 2025 ADU Handbook, at p. 19 [“[P]ursuant to Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a), local governments must allow units created pursuant to subparagraphs (1) and (2) together or (3) and (4) together”].)
SB 543 codifies HCD’s most recent interpretation by amending Government Code section 66323 to specifically allow combinations. Thus, a lot with a multifamily dwelling can now have a converted ADU or ADUs created under section 66323(a)(3) and detached ADUs created under section 66323(a)(4). And a lot with a single family dwelling can now have a converted ADU and a JADU created under section 66323(a)(1) and a detached ADU created under section 66323(a)(2).

ADU Permitting Process
Existing law has long required local agencies to approve or deny an ADU application within 60 days of receiving a complete application. However, state law was silent with respect to incompleteness determinations, subsequent resubmittals, and appealing local decisions on ADU applications.

SB 543 requires local agencies to now:
(1) determine whether an ADU application is complete within 15 business days of submittal;

Page 159 of 248 ends

Council Agenda- January 15, 2026

(2) if the application is incomplete, within the same 15 days provide the applicant with a list of incomplete items and how to address them; (3) review a resubmitted application for completeness within 15 business days; (4) provide the applicant with a written appeal process for any incompleteness determination or denial (to the Planning Commission or City Council, or both); and (5) provide a final written determination on the appeal within 60 business days of receiving the appeal). (See amended Gov. Code, §§ 66317 [ADUs], 66335 [JADUs].)
OPTIONS:

AB 462 took effect immediately when signed, but technically it doesn’t require any change to a local ordinance; CDP processing doesn’t apply, but the City just needs to follow the new rules for issuance of a CofO, if applicable. The remaining bills take effect on January 1, 2026, and for the City’s ADU ordinance to remain valid and enforceable, it must comply with the new changes in state law. Adopting the proposed ordinance ensures that the City’s ADU ordinance will remain in compliance with state law, while incorporating objective standards important to the City.

The following options are available for City Council’s consideration:

1.Accept Planning Commission’s recommendation to adopt the ordinance in compliance with the latest state ADU and JADU regulations, including objective standards important to the City; or

2.Deny the ordinance and regulate ADUs and JADUs per state law only; or

3.Provide alternative direction for staff.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA):

Under California Public Resources Code section 21080.17, CEQA does not apply to the adoption of an ordinance by a city or county implementing the provisions of Chapter 13 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the California Government Code, which is California’s ADU law.

Therefore, the adoption of the proposed Ordinance is statutorily exempt from CEQA in that it implements state ADU law.

d) An ADU that is attached to the primary dwelling may not exceed 25 feet in height or the height limitation imposed by the underlying zone that applies to the primary dwelling, whichever is lower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ADUs subject to this subsection 21.85.060(2)(d) may not exceed two stories. e) For purposes of subsection 21.85.060(2), height is measured from existing legal grade or the level of the lowest floor, whichever is lower, to the peak of the structure.
(3) Fire Sprinklers.
a) Fire sprinklers are required in an ADU or JADU if sprinklers are required in the primary residence.
b) The construction of an ADU or JADU does not trigger a requirement for fire sprinklers to be installed in the existing primary dwelling. (4) Rental Term. No ADU or JADU may be rented for a term that is shorter than 30 days. This prohibition applies regardless of when the ADU or JADU was created. (5) No Separate Conveyance. An ADU or JADU may be rented, but, except as otherwise provided in Government Code section 66341, no ADU or JADU may be sold or otherwise conveyed separately from the lot and the primary dwelling (in the case of a single-family lot) or from the lot and all of the dwellings (in the case of a multifamily lot).
(6) Septic System. If the ADU or JADU will connect to an onsite wastewater- treatment system, the owner must include with the application a percolation test

93939.00059\42755721.3

City of Indian Wells
Ordinance No.____

Page 8 ends

completed within the last five years or, if the percolation test has been recertified, within the last 10 years.
(7) Owner Occupancy.
a) ADUs. ADUs are not subject to an owner-occupancy requirement. b) JADUs.
i. Generally. As required by state law, JADUs are generally subject to an owner-occupancy requirement. A natural person with legal or equitable title to the property must reside on the property, in either the primary dwelling or JADU, as the person’s legal domicile and permanent residence.
ii. Exceptions. The owner-occupancy requirement in subsection

21.85.60(7)(b) does not apply in either of the following situations:

I. The JADU has separate sanitation facilities (i.e., does not share sanitation facilities with the existing primary dwelling unit structure).

II. The property is entirely owned by another
governmental agency, land trust, or housing
organization.
(8) Deed Restriction. Prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for a JADU, a deed restriction must be recorded against the title of the property in the County Recorder’s office and a copy filed with the Community Development Director (“Director”). The deed restriction must run with the land and bind all future owners. The form of the deed restriction will be provided by the city and must provide that:
a) The JADU may not be sold separately from the primary dwelling. b) The JADU is restricted to the approved size and to other attributes allowed by this section.
c) The deed restriction runs with the land and may be enforced against future property owners.
d) The deed restriction may be removed if the owner eliminates the JADU, as evidenced by, for example, removal of the kitchen facilities. To remove the deed restriction, an owner may make a written request of the Director, providing evidence that the JADU has in fact been eliminated. The Director may then determine whether the evidence supports the claim that the JADU

93939.00059\42755721.3

City of Indian Wells
Ordinance No.____

Page 9 ends

has been eliminated. Appeal may be taken from the Director’s determination consistent with other provisions of this Code. If the JADU is not entirely physically removed, but is only eliminated by virtue of having a necessary component of an JADU removed, the remaining structure and improvements must otherwise comply with applicable provisions of this Code. e) The deed restriction is enforceable by the director or his or her designee for the benefit of the city. Failure of the property owner to comply with the deed restriction may result in legal action against the property owner, and the city is authorized to obtain any remedy available to it at law or equity, including, but not limited to, obtaining an injunction enjoining the use of the JADU in violation of the recorded restrictions or abatement of the illegal unit. (9) Building & Safety.
a) Must comply with building code. Subject to subsection 21.85.060(9)(b) below, all ADUs and JADUs must comply with all local building code requirements.
b) No change of occupancy. Construction of an ADU does not constitute a Group R occupancy change under the local building code, as described in Section 310 of the California Building Code, unless the Building Official or Code Enforcement Manager makes a written finding based on substantial evidence in the record that the construction of the ADU could have a specific, adverse impact on public health and safety. Nothing in this subsection

21.85.060(9)(b) prevents the city from changing the occupancy code of a space that was uninhabitable space or that was only permitted for nonresidential use and was subsequently converted for residential use in accordance with this section.
(10) Certificate of Occupancy Timing.
a) Generally. No certificate of occupancy for an ADU or JADU may be issued before the certificate of occupancy is issued for the primary dwelling unit. b) Limited Exception for State-declared Emergencies. Notwithstanding subsection 21.85.060(10)(a) above, a certificate of occupancy for an ADU may be issued before a certificate of occupancy for the primary dwelling if each of the following requirements are met:
i. The county is subject to a proclamation of a state of emergency made by the California Governor on or after February 1, 2025. ii. The primary dwelling was substantially damaged or destroyed by an event referenced in the Governor’s state of emergency proclamation.

c) Any impact fee that is required for an ADU that has 750 square feet or more of interior livable space must be charged proportionately in relation to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit. (E.g., the floor area of the ADU, divided by the floor area of the primary dwelling, times the typical fee amount charged for a new dwelling.)
(2) Utility Fees.
a) If an ADU or JADU is constructed with a new single-family home, a separate utility connection directly between the ADU or JADU and the utility and payment of the normal connection fee and capacity charge for a new dwelling are required.
b) Except as described in subsection 21.85.080(2)(a), JADUs and converted ADUs on a single-family lot that are created under subsection 21.85.080(1)(a) above are not required to have a new or separate utility connection directly between the JADU or ADU and the utility. Nor is a connection fee or capacity charge required. Notwithstanding the rest of this paragraph, a direct utility connection is required for separate conveyance of an ADU when separate conveyance is allowed under this code.
c) Except as described in subsection 21.85.080(2)(a), all ADUs that are not covered by subsection 21.85.080(2)(b) require a new, separate utility connection directly between the ADU and the utility for any utility.

As required by state law, the city may not deny a permit to legalize an existing but unpermitted ADU or JADU that was constructed before January 1, 2020, if denial is based on either of the following grounds:
i. The ADU or JADU violates applicable building standards, or ii. The ADU or JADU does not comply with state ADU or JADU law or this ADU ordinance (Chapter 21.85).

(3) Fire Sprinklers.
a) Fire sprinklers are required in an ADU or JADU if sprinklers are required in the primary residence.
b) The construction of an ADU or JADU does not trigger a requirement for fire sprinklers to be installed in the existing primary dwelling. (4) Rental Term. No ADU or JADU may be rented for a term that is shorter than 30 days. This prohibition applies regardless of when the ADU or JADU was created. (5) No Separate Conveyance. An ADU or JADU may be rented, but, except as otherwise provided in Government Code section 66341, no ADU or JADU may be sold or otherwise conveyed separately from the lot and the primary dwelling (in the case of a single-family lot) or from the lot and all of the dwellings (in the case of a multifamily lot).
(6) Septic System. If the ADU or JADU will connect to an onsite wastewater-treatment system, the owner must include with the application a percolation test completed

Council Agenda- January 15, 2026

City of Indian Wells
Resolution No. PC 2025- 09

Page 12 ends

- 12 -

within the last five years or, if the percolation test has been recertified, within the last 10 years.
(7) Owner Occupancy.
a) ADUs. ADUs are not subject to an owner-occupancy requirement. b) JADUs.
i. Generally. As required by state law, JADUs are generally subject to an owner-occupancy requirement. A natural person with legal or equitable title to the property must reside on the property, in either the primary dwelling or JADU, as the person’s legal domicile and permanent residence.
ii. Exceptions. The owner-occupancy requirement in subsection

21.85.60(7)(b) does not apply in either of the following situations:

I. The JADU has separate sanitation facilities (i.e., does not share sanitation facilities with the existing primary
dwelling unit structure).

The form of the deed restriction will be provided by the city and must provide that:
a) The JADU may not be sold separately from the primary dwelling. b) The JADU is restricted to the approved size and to other attributes allowed by this section.
c) The deed restriction runs with the land and may be enforced against future property owners.
d) The deed restriction may be removed if the owner eliminates the JADU, as evidenced by, for example, removal of the kitchen facilities. To remove the deed restriction, an owner may make a written request of the Director, providing evidence that the JADU has in fact been eliminated. The Director may then determine whether the evidence supports the claim that the JADU has been eliminated. Appeal may be taken from the Director’s determination consistent

Page 189 of 248 ends

Council Agenda- January 15, 2026

City of Indian Wells
Resolution No. PC 2025- 09

Page 13 ends

- 13 -

with other provisions of this Code. If the JADU is not entirely physically removed, but is only eliminated by virtue of having a necessary component of an JADU removed, the remaining structure and improvements must otherwise comply with applicable provisions of this Code.
e) The deed restriction is enforceable by the director or his or her designee for the benefit of the city. Failure of the property owner to comply with the deed restriction may result in legal action against the property owner, and the city is authorized to obtain any remedy available to it at law or equity, including, but not limited to, obtaining an injunction enjoining the use of the JADU in violation of the recorded restrictions or abatement of the illegal unit. (9) Building & Safety.
a) Must comply with building code. Subject to subsection 21.85.060(9)(b) below, all ADUs and JADUs must comply with all local building code requirements.
b) No change of occupancy. Construction of an ADU does not constitute a Group R occupancy change under the local building code, as described in Section 310 of the California Building Code, unless the Building Official or Code Enforcement Manager makes a written finding based on substantial evidence in the record that the construction of the ADU could have a specific, adverse impact on public health and safety. Nothing in this subsection 21.85.060(9)(b) prevents the city from changing the occupancy code of a space that was uninhabitable space or that was only permitted for nonresidential use and was subsequently converted for residential use in accordance with this section. (10) Certificate of Occupancy Timing.
a) Generally. No certificate of occupancy for an ADU or JADU may be issued before the certificate of occupancy is issued for the primary dwelling unit. b) Limited Exception for State-declared Emergencies. Notwithstanding subsection 21.85.060(10)(a) above, a certificate of occupancy for an ADU may be issued before a certificate of occupancy for the primary dwelling if each of the following requirements are met:
i. The county is subject to a proclamation of a state of emergency made by the California Governor on or after February 1, 2025. ii. The primary dwelling was substantially damaged or destroyed by an event referenced in the Governor’s state of emergency proclamation.

21.85.070 is 850 square feet of interior livable space for a studio or one- bedroom unit and 1,000 square feet of interior livable space for a unit with two or more bedrooms.
b) An attached ADU that is created on a lot with an existing primary dwelling is further limited to 50 percent of the floor area of the existing primary dwelling. c) Application of other development standards in this section 21.85.070, such as FAR or lot coverage, might further limit the size of the ADU, but no application of the percent-based size limit in subsection 21.85.070(1)(b) above or of an FAR, front setback, lot coverage limit, or open-space requirement may require the ADU have less than 800 square feet of interior livable space. (2) Floor Area Ratio (FAR). No ADU subject to this section 21.85.070 may cause the total FAR of the lot to exceed 45 percent, subject to subsection 21.85.070(1)(c) above.
(3) Setbacks.
a) ADUs that are subject to this section 21.85.070 must conform to 4-foot side and rear setbacks. ADUs that are subject to this section must conform to 25-foot front setbacks, subject to subsection 21.85.070(1)(c) above. b) No setback is required for an ADU that is subject to this section 21.85.070 if the ADU is constructed in the same location and to the same dimensions as an existing structure.
(4) Lot Coverage. No ADU subject to this section 21.85.070 may cause the total lot coverage of the lot to exceed 50 percent, subject to subsection 21.85.070(1)(c) above.
(5) Minimum Open Space. No ADU subject to this section 21.85.070 may cause the total percentage of open space of the lot to fall below 50 percent, subject to subsection 21.85.070(1)(c) above.

§ 21.85.080. Fees. The following requirements apply to all Class 1 ADUs and JADUs and Class 2 ADUs that are approved under subsection(s) 21.85.050(1) or 21.85.050(2) above. (1) Impact Fees.
a) No impact fee is required for a JADU or for an ADU that has less than 750 square feet of interior livable space. For purposes of this subsection

21.85.080(1), “impact fee” means a “fee” under the Mitigation Fee Act (Gov.

c) Any impact fee that is required for an ADU that has 750 square feet or more of interior livable space must be charged proportionately in relation to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit. (E.g., the floor area of the ADU, divided by the floor area of the primary dwelling, times the typical fee amount charged for a new dwelling.)
(2) Utility Fees.
a) If an ADU or JADU is constructed with a new single-family home, a separate utility connection directly between the ADU or JADU and the utility and payment of the normal connection fee and capacity charge for a new dwelling are required.
b) Except as described in subsection 21.85.080(2)(a), JADUs and converted ADUs on a single-family lot that are created under subsection 21.85.080(1)(a) above are not required to have a new or separate utility connection directly between the JADU or ADU and the utility. Nor is a connection fee or capacity charge required. Notwithstanding the rest of this paragraph, a direct utility connection is required for separate conveyance of an ADU when separate conveyance is allowed under this code.
c) Except as described in subsection 21.85.080(2)(a), all ADUs that are not covered by subsection 21.85.080(2)(b) require a new, separate utility connection directly between the ADU and the utility for any utility. All utilities are subject to the connection and fee requirements of the utility provider. § 21.85.090. Nonconforming Zoning Code Conditions, Building Code Violations, and Unpermitted Structures.
(1) Generally. The city will not deny an ADU or JADU application due to a nonconforming zoning condition, building code violation, or unpermitted structure on the lot that does not present a threat to the public health and safety and that is not affected by the construction of the ADU or JADU.
(2) Unpermitted ADUs and JADUs constructed before 2020. a) Permit to Legalize. As required by state law, the city may not deny a permit to legalize an existing but unpermitted ADU or JADU that was constructed before January 1, 2020, if denial is based on either of the following grounds:

INDIAN WELLS CITY COUNCIL
January 15, 2026

To: City Council
From: City Manager Department
Prepared by: Angelica Avila, City Clerk
Subject: Governance Ad Hoc Committee Recommendation to Amend Municipal Code Section 2.12.010 to Clarify Planning Agency Authority

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:

Council APPROVES Governance Ad Hoc Committee recommendation to amend the Planning Agency ordinance for clarification purposes; and

INTRODUCES Ordinance to be read by title only and further reading waived, amending Section 2.12.010 of the Municipal Code relating to Planning Agency; and

FINDS the action to be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15060.

BACKGROUND:

In 2025, the Governance Ad Hoc Committee (“Committee”) was established to review and recommend updates to various City processes and policies. The Committee’s purpose is to promote transparency and improve governance efficiency in alignment with the City Charter. On December 4, 2025, the Committee presented several items for City Council review and consideration. Pursuant to Council direction, staff is proceeding with the implementation of these recommendations in the coming months. The proposed ordinance here implements prior Council direction.

DISCUSSION:

One key recommendation is to amend the Municipal Code to clarify the establishment of the Planning Agency. The current code contains outdated references, such as references to the Architecture and Landscape Committee, which no longer exists. And it lacks clarity regarding authority. The proposed amendment confirms that the City Council serves as the Planning Agency in accordance with Government Code Section 65100 et seq., with authority to delegate duties to the Planning Commission or the Building and Planning Departments as needed. This change eliminates ambiguity and reflects current practice.

Page 196 of 248 ends

Council Agenda- January 15, 2026

26529.00000\44543558.3

Existing Municipal Code Section 2.12.010:

Pursuant to the provisions of Section 65100 et seq., of the California Government Code, the Planning Agency is established for the City as a combination of the City Council, Planning Commission, Architectural and Landscaping Committee, and the Building and Planning Departments.

Revised Municipal Code Section 2.12.010:

Pursuant to the provisions of Section 65100 et seq., of the California Government Code, the Planning Agency is established for the City as the City Council. The Council may delegate related duties to the Planning Commission or the Building and Planning Departments, as needed.

Adopting the recommended ordinance amendment will ensure compliance with state law and clarify the City’s governance structure regarding planning responsibilities. Staff recommend that the Council adopt the Committee recommendation to adopt the proposed changes and proceed with first reading.

CITY COUNCIL STRATEGIC GOAL:

The Governance Ad Hoc Committee’s policy review underscores the Council’s commitment to principled governance and its mission to serve the community with transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement. These efforts reflect a proactive approach to strengthening civic engagement, ensuring clarity in municipal processes, and enhancing the overall quality of life for residents of Indian Wells.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact.

Because the cost of each proposed gala table exceeds $5,000 —the Palm Springs Film Festival Gala Angel Table at $10,379 and the Palm Springs Air Museum Annual Gala table at $6,550—the City Council’s Sponsorship and Community Assistance Funding Policy applies and calls for Finance Committee review. The information is presented to support the Committee’s evaluation of the proposed expenditures and its recommendation to the City Council. Any such recommendation is advisory only, and final authority and approval remain solely with the City Council.

Under the Purpose of this Policy section of the policy, specifically excluded from this policy are sponsorships below $5,000, such as sponsored luncheons or other events to financially support non-profits or other governmental organizations. More common examples include purchasing a table for an awards or recognition luncheon, participating in a valley event such as the economic summit, or sponsorship level support of a non- profit event such as a fundraiser.

Under the Review and Approval Process section of the policy, the City Manager’s Office shall administer sponsorship requests received by the City. Upon receipt of a sponsorship request, the City Manager’s Office shall provide notice to the full City Council

Page 201 of 248 ends

Council Agenda- January 15, 2026

to determine whether there is interest by any Council Member in pursuing the sponsorship.

In the event that one or more Council Members express such interest, the sponsors hip request shall be forwarded to the Finance Committee for review and evaluation. In the absence of Council interest, the request shall not be referred to the Finance Committee, and no further action shall be taken.

Under the City Sponsorship Funding Policy section of the policy, Sponsorship requests submitted to the City shall be directed to individual Council Members for an initial determination of interest. If a Council Member indicates support for further consideration, the request will be referred to the Finance Committee for review and evaluation. Following its review, the Finance Committee shall forward the sponsorship request, along with its recommendation, to the full City Council for final determination.

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.

INDIAN WELLS CITY COUNCIL
January 15, 2026

To: City Council
From: City Manager Department
Prepared by: Eric Ceja, Assistant City Manager
Subject: Council Member Whitman Request for Consideration of Inclusion of a “Resident Impact Statement” to City Council Staff Reports

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:

Council DISCUSSES and PROVIDES direction on Council Member Whitman’s request to include a “Residential Impact Statement” for future City Council staff reports; and

FINDS the project to be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15378.

DISCUSSION :

Pursuant to Section 3.01.030 “Placing Items on the Agenda” of the City Council Policy Manual, Council Member Whitman has made a request that the City Council discuss the inclusion of a “residential impact statement” to future City Council staff reports . This request was made at the December 4, 2025, City Council meeting and received support from the majority of the Council for further consideration.

Council Member Whitman’s proposal would add a new header to City Council staff reports requiring staff to explicitly identify potential impacts to residents based on proposed policy actions of the City Council. The intent of City Council staff reports is to provide the City Council and public with clear information so that the City Council can make a well- informed decision on behalf of the community. These staff report already include:
 Background and history of the subject matter
 Analysis of impacts of proposed City Council actions,  Provide options for City Council’s consideration.
 Provide professional recommendations from staff and legal counsel, In addition, these staff reports facilitate procedural and legal requirements, promote transparency and public understanding, and create a public record.

Page 206 of 248 ends

Council Agenda- January 15, 2026

In review of other Coachella Valley cities, no other city contains a specific “resident impacts statement.” In addition, staff believe that the information contained in existing City Council staff reports identifies potential impacts of Council actions. As such, staff is concerned that a resident impact statement contained in a staff report could be considered subjective and could be politicized, depending on which side of a policy issue an individual is on. By maintaining neutrality and presenting facts and options for City Council’s consideration, staff avoid being put in a position whereby resident impacts are understated, ignored, or overstated; potentially leading to frustration and dispute due to its subjective nature.

OPTIONS:

The City Council has the following options:

1. Instruct staff to include a “Resident Impact Section” on future staff reports;

2. Decide not to include a “Resident Impact Section” on future staff reports; or

3. Provide alternative direction.

CITY COUNCIL STRATEGIC GOAL:

The discussion of a residential impact statement does not implement any of the City Council’s Strategic Goals.

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 (“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. (15061(b)(3).) “

INDIAN WELLS CITY COUNCIL
January 15, 2026

To: City Council
From: City Manager Department
Prepared by: Dr. Chris Freeland, City Manager
Eric Ceja, Assistant City Manager
Kevin McCarthy, Finance Director

Subject: Comprehensive Overview and Discussion of Resident and Resident Guest Golf Rates at Indian Wells Golf Resort

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:

Council DISCUSSES Resident and Resident Guest Golf Rates; and

PROVIDES direction to Staff, if any; and

FINDS the project to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) provision pursuant to Section 15060.

BACKGROUND:

On April 17, 2025, at the Strategic Planning Session, the City Council requested a review of the City’s Resident and Resident Guest golf rates. The purpose of this staff report is to provide the City Council with a comprehensive and organized summary of the policies, historical context, current rate structures, and operational framework associated with Resident and Resident Guest golf rates at the Indian Wells Golf Resort (IWGR). This report is intended to serve as a foundational reference document to support future Council policy discussions and does not propose specific rate changes or policy actions.

This report compiles and presents data and policy context related to:
 Tee sheet allocation and booking structures;
 Resident and resident guest fee methodologies and current rate schedules;  Historical Council discussions and policy evolution;
 Resident Benefit Card participation;
 Resident Amenity Fee considerations;
 Operational context with current golf management and rate pricing constraints;  Preliminary benchmarking and revenue context.

Page 208 of 248 ends

Council Agenda- January 15, 2026

Current resident and resident guest rates are available to card-holding residents through the City’s Resident Benefit Card (Golf RBC), as summarized below.

Resident Benefit Card and Participation
All resident access to reduced golf rates at IWGR is tied to possession of a valid Resident Benefit Card (Golf RBC) issued by the City. The Golf RBC entitles qualified residents to discounted green fees and resident guest privileges.

During FY 2024-25, the City issued approximately 2,642 active Golf Resident Benefit Cards. Golf Resident Benefit Card revenue totaled roughly $132,100 in FY 2024-25 and is deposited into the Golf Fund to partially offset operational and maintenance costs at the Indian Wells Golf Resort.
 Golf RBC holders: Card issuance is governed by City policy and resolution. o Residents may purchase up to two (2) resident benefit cards per eligible property annually. Dependent children under 21 may also obtain a card.  Resident Benefit Card pricing: The Golf RBC is currently $45 per card (plus $5 for a printed card).

Historical Context of Golf Access & Resident Rates
The City’s involvement in the Indian Wells Golf Resort traces back to an economic development partnership with hotel and resort stakeholders, designed to establish and sustain championship golf as a tourism asset.
1985 Easement Agreement
In 1985, the City entered into an easement agreement with the original owners of the Grand Hyatt and Renaissance Esmeralda Resorts, providing the City with use of hotel- adjacent land to develop and operate 36 holes of championship golf. The agreement created a framework for allocating tee times among hotel guests and the general public in exchange for land and development rights. (Due to its extensive length, exceeding 300 pages, the 1985 Easement Agreement, along with all amendments and supporting Staff Reports, is accessible on the City’s official website.) 1993 Complimentary Golf Agreement
In January 1993, the City, in partnership with the hotel entities, executed the Complimentary Golf Agreement, establishing discounted golf benefits for select groups, including visiting dignitaries, hotel owners, PGA cardholders, and staff.

Page 209 of 248 ends

Council Agenda- January 15, 2026

1993 Resident Rate Establishment
In May 1993, the first formal resident rate was established through an amendment to the 1985 Easement Agreement. The Resident addition read in part: A person who presents a valid Property Owner Identification Card issued by the City of Indian Wells shall be entitled to play golf at the Golf Resort at the rate of 70% of the posted green fees, but at a rate not to exceed thirty-five dollars ($35.00).

The criteria for issuance of such Property Owner Identification Cards shall be within the sole discretion of the City Council of the City of Indian Wells, and may be changed by such City Council from time to time in exercise of that discretion.

Approval of the hotel partners and the City was required. Subsequent amendments refined eligibility and rate levels.
2020 Updates to Complimentary Golf Agreement
The most recent comprehensive update to this agreement occurred in 2020, which documented:
 Resident rate revisions to $50.00 (season) and $35.00 (off-season);  Elimination of prior complimentary golf benefits for City employees; and  Updated classifications for resident benefit participation. (Attachment: 2020 Complimentary Golf Agreement & Resolution 2020-42) Tee Sheet Allocation and Rate Structure
Tee Sheet Allocation Framework
Under the governing easement agreement and operational policy, tee time slo ts are allocated daily during peak season (October 1 through May 31) to protect a portion of the course for residents and hotel guests:
 1/3 reserved for hotel guests
 1/3 available to the general public
 1/3 reserved for Indian Wells residents
This allocation applies from 7:00 a.m. to 12:50 p.m. daily during the protected period known as seasonally protected rounds. Tee sheets remain unrestricted outside this window and during the summer/shoulder months (June 1 through September 30). (Based on established historical policy.)
IWGR accommodates 288 protected rounds per day, or 69,696 total rounds during peak season. During the protected period, the one-third allocation equates to 96 resident

Page 210 of 248 ends

Council Agenda- January 15, 2026

rounds, 96 hotel guest rounds, and 96 public rounds per day, subject to operational conditions, tournaments, and weather.

During FY 2023-24, of the approximately 43,989 seasonally protected rounds (from 7:00 a.m. to 12:50 p.m.), Residents and Resident Guests accounted for 15,881 rounds, representing approximately 36 percent of total seasonally protected rounds. Resident play comprised 12,632 rounds (approximately 29 percent of all seasonally protected rounds and 80% of seasonally protected rounds set aside specifically for residents), while Resident Guest play accounted for 3,249 rounds (approximately 7 percent of all seasonally protected rounds and 20% of seasonally protected rounds set aside specifically for residents). Resident Guest rounds are booked under Resident Rounds but charged at a Resident Guest rate.

Tee Time Access Window
Residents with a valid Golf RBC may book tee times up to 14 days in advance at resident rates; all tee times must be prepaid and booked online or via phone prior to play. Walk - up play at the $35 resident rate.

Resident Rate Schedule
The current resident rate structure, as published by the City, is:
 January 1 – April 30:
o Reserved tee time: $50 per round
o Same-day, pre-paid walk-up: $35 per round
 May 1 – December 31:
o All resident play: $35 per round
Residents must present a valid Golf RBC at check-in to receive the resident rate.

D. Resident Guest Rate Structure
Residents may book resident guests at reduced rates tied to seasonal pricing grids that vary throughout the year. Current resident guest green fees published by the City include:

Period Mon–Thu Fri–Sun
July 1 – Aug 21 $55 $65
Aug 30 – Sep 30 $65 $75
Oct 1 – Apr 30 $110 $110
May 1 – May 17 $89 $99
May 18 – May 31 $79 $89
Jun 1 – Jun 20 $55 $65

Page 211 of 248 ends

Council Agenda- January 15, 2026

Resident guests must play with a resident who holds a valid Golf RBC to receive resident guest rates; those rates must be prepaid at the time of booking.

Rate Methodology and Formula
Historically and for budgeting purposes, the City has evaluated resident guest rates using a cost-recovery methodology tied to the overall golf operating budget. In prior analyses presented to the City Council, this methodology was expressed using the following formula:

Total Golf Program Budget ÷ Total Budgeted Rounds + $20 This calculation was used as a benchmark to estimate the full cost of a round of golf, inclusive of operating expenses, and to evaluate whether resident guest play was recovering its proportionate share of golf operating costs.

As reflected in the supporting tables above, this methodology is also evaluated on an annualized basis by comparing total resident guest green fee revenue collected during the fiscal year to the total number of resident guest rounds played. This comparison produces an effective average resident guest rate, which is then assessed against the calculated annual cost per round to determine the extent to which resident guest play is recovering the cost of golf operations.

While resident guest rates vary seasonally based on demand, the annualized cost- recovery analysis has historically been used by the City as a financial benchmark for budget development and policy evaluation. This information is provided for contextual and analytical purposes only and does not constitute a recommendation to modify existing resident or resident guest rate structures.

Resident Amenity Fee (RAF) Context
For many years, the Indian Wells Golf Resort operated at an annual operating deficit, averaging approximately $1.0 to $2.5 million between FY 2010 and FY 2022. One contributing factor identified by the City was the opportunity cost associated with providing reduced-rate resident and resident guest golf during peak revenue periods. In response, the City Council adopted a Resident Amenity Fee (RAF) as a policy tool to partially offset these foregone revenues and support ongoing golf operations.

Historically, the Resident Amenity Fee (RAF) was utilized as a policy tool to offset golf operating costs and support resident access to reduced rates. As part of the amende d golf management agreement with Troon in 2023, approved by the City Council, the RAF was formally eliminated. Under the revised agreement, Troon Golf is now required to operate the Indian Wells Golf Resort on a financially sustainable and profitable basis without reliance on a Resident Amenity Fee subsidy. This policy shift reflects Council

Page 212 of 248 ends

Council Agenda- January 15, 2026

direction to improve transparency, reduce indirect resident subsidization, and align golf operations with enterprise fund best practices.

Council History of Resident And Guest Golf Rate Discussions Over the last several years, the City Council has periodically reviewed resident and resident guest golf rate structures, tee time allocations, and the financial performance of the IWGR. Key items of policy review have included resident access equity, rate-setting methodology, and subsidization of golf operations. The Council’s strategic planning session in April 2025 directed staff to compile comprehensive information on these topics to support Council deliberations.

Summary Timeline of Key City Council Actions and Discussions:

November 2019 - The City Council initiated a comprehensive review of resident golf rates and tee time allocation policies, introducing the concept of “golf equity” and directing staff to analyze resident usage patterns and access to prime tee times. This marked the beginning of a multi-year policy discussion regarding resident access and rate fairness.

January 2020 - During the City’s Strategic Planning Session, the Council examined the financial sustainability of the Indian Wells Golf Resort and discussed options to reduce ongoing subsidies. Particular attention was given to residents’ guest rates and whether they adequately recovered the cost of play, with staff directed to develop options for further Council consideration.

July 2020 - The City Council approved revisions to the Easement Agreement with hotel partners to formally incorporate updated resident rate provisions reflected in the Complimentary Golf Agreement. This action reinforced the contractual framework governing resident access and rate protections.

October–November 2020 - The Council reviewed and amended employee-related golf benefits under the Complimentary Golf Agreement, including reclassification of employee rates to address potential tax implications. These actions clarified eligibility categories and reduced non-resident complimentary benefits.

November 2022 - The City Council revisited resident tee time availability and golf rate policies in the context of ongoing discussions regarding the Golf Resident Amenity Fee (RAF). Council discussion focused on the financial impact of protecting prime-season tee times for residents and the opportunity cost associated with reduced-rate play during the most profitable periods. The Council directed further study and community engagement but took no formal action.

Council Agenda- January 15, 2026

Management Contract and Operational Considerations
In 2023, the City entered a renewed management agreement with Troon Golf to operate IWGR, which includes dynamic pricing authority for non-resident play but binds the operator to resident and resident guest rate restrictions as set by City policy and the governing easement agreement.

Key elements of the agreement include:
 Use of dynamic pricing by Troon to maximize revenue from non-resident and hotel guest play;
 Contractual limitations preventing Troon from modifying resident and resident guest rates, which remain subject to City policy and Council action;  A financial structure designed to return the Golf Resort to profitability without reliance on the Resident Amenity Fee.

Troon’s current projections for FY 2025-26 indicate that the golf operation can achieve profitability. This dynamic pricing strategy maximizes revenue on non-resident and hotel guest rounds while preserving resident benefits.

The implementation of a performance-based management agreement with Troon Golf marked a fundamental shift in the operational and financial management of the Indian Wells Golf Resort. This change replaced prior operating practices that had resulted in sustained annual operating losses and required General Fund support. Under the revised management structure, the Golf Resort transitioned to an enterprise-based operating model with clear performance accountability and an expectation of financial sustainability.

The table below presents the Golf Resort’s net operating income for the period between 2010 and 2026. To ensure comparability across years, the data has been normalized to reflect core operating performance only. Specifically, the analysis excludes the Resident Amenity Fee (RAF), General Fund contributions, and City -funded capital expenditures, thereby isolating revenues and operating expenses directly attributable to Golf Resort operations. This approach provides a consistent basis for evaluating changes in operating performance over time and the financial impact of the revised management model.

Page 214 of 248 ends

Council Agenda- January 15, 2026

Based on the normalized financial data presented in the table, the Indian Wells Golf Resort incurred cumulative operating losses totaling $8,018,143 between 2010 and 2022.

Following the implementation of the performance-based management agreement in 2023, the Golf Resort returned to operational profitability, generating cumulative net operating income of $3,203,907 for the period from 2023 through 2026 . This change reflects a material improvement in operating performance under the revised management structure.

Round Usage, Allocation, and Revenue
The data demonstrates that resident golf usage is not evenly distributed across all Golf RBC holders. During FY 2023-24, the Golf Resort received 18,456 total resident rounds (Prime and Non-Prime) from 1,407 unique resident golfers. A relatively small number of resident golfers, 160 residents (about 11%), account for roughly 50% of resident rounds played annually, particularly during peak season. This information was requested to inform prior Council discussions regarding resident equity, access to prime tee times, and the fiscal implications of the current resident rate structure. This information is presented for analytical purposes only and is not intended to characterize individual resident usage patterns or draw conclusions regarding appropriate access levels.

Council direction in 2025 also requested rounds and revenue data broken down by cohort, including:
 Total rounds per year by resident, resident guest, hotel guests, and public play;  Prime vs. non-prime allocation usage;
 Average daily rate (ADR) by cohort and seasonal period;

Page 215 of 248 ends

Council Agenda- January 15, 2026

 Distribution of resident play by individual users.

Round Usage
As shown in the chart below, of the more than 40,000 rounds of play at the Celebrity Course in calendar year 2025, 31% of rounds were booked by residents, 37% of rounds were booked by the public, 23% of course use was used for tournament play. The remaining tee times were booked by resident guests, and various Troon Programs, such as Troon Advantage and Troon Access.

Comparative Municipal Context
As part of future benchmarking efforts, staff has compiled resident and municipal rate structures from municipal-owned golf courses in the Coachella Valley (see table below).

Comparative factors under review include resident green fee structures, resident identification or card fees, availability of reserved tee times, advance booking windows, cart inclusion policies, and effective discounts relative to merchandise and food and beverage offerings. Although not a municipal golf course, The Classic Club is included i n this table as it is operated by Troon.

Staff notes that direct comparisons across golf facilities are inherently limited due to substantive differences in operational, financial, and market conditions. These differences may include, but are not limited to, the number of holes operated, course design and Public Non-

conditioning standards, capital reinvestment obligations, staffing and management models, reliance on tourism and resort-based demand, and the extent to which dynamic pricing is utilized. Additionally, municipal golf facilities vary in their financial structure, with some operating with ongoing General Fund support and others, such as the Indian Wells Golf Resort, operating under an enterprise model with an expectation of financial sustainability. As a result, benchmarking information is intended to provide general context regarding municipal golf practices rather than serve as a basis for direct rate equivalency.

Although not located in the Coachella Valley, Torrey Pines was mentioned as a municipal golf course which staff should include in this report. Information related to resident rates for Torrey Pines is contained below.

Dear Councilmembers,
I urge you to protect the City of Indian Wells resident’s rights to have access to the two resort courses at a discounted “resident rate”.

This is a grandfathered beneﬁt of great value to the residents of Indian Wells.

Just like the residents of Palm Desert, Indian Wells residents enjoy the beneﬁt of discounted resort golf.

Instead of “taking away beneﬁts” from property owners, you should really focus on how to engage more participation.

I suggest you have a “resident roundtable” to brainstorm ways to increase participation. A little outreach eAort will go a long way.

We urge you to protect our Indian Wells Resident Golf Amenity.

THANK YOU

Chris , hope all is well. I’m not sure the golf item on the agenda involves rate changes. If it does I want to let you know I’m opposed to a rate increase at this time.

As you may recall I was mayor when we implemented pay for resident golf card plus winter rate of $50. It was very unpopular with residents however made some sense. The current timing could not be worse with new course now residents maybe asked to contribute to that cost. If that is the case probably should have made clear prior to construction of new course

Mr. Freeland. Cc all

I’ve just read the 1-15-26 staff report regarding golf rates. Unfortunately, my calendar does not allow me to attend the upcoming council meeting so am sending you this email instead.

It has been three months since our email exchange and two months since my 25/26 desert season commenced.

I see that the mentioned RBC code of conduct has been published. Perhaps, going forward, the City will require acknowledgment of the code by RBC applicants so they cannot claim ignorance.

It is great to play the new Players course. A bit tight in spots but hard to avoid given the addition of two holes into the space of 16.

As my calendar does not allow me to attend your Thursday meeting, I would offer the following written observations, based upon the twenty rounds I have played at IWGR since early November.

The staff remain awesome
The courses are in great shape
Kestrel has not disappointed
No one asks to see my RBC (contrary to what the Staff Report says on page four)

I cannot tee off without signing my autograph acknowledging my responsibilities for the golf cart. But no one asks to see the RBCs of the four residents in my group. This one small change in operations, at the starter’s shack, is all that is required to ensure compliance with one important aspect of the new code of conduct. It may also generate some additional revenue by 'closing the door' on guests playing at the resident rate.

Attachment #1 did contain one component that I found surprising. I do not understand why the Unsold Promotional Rate’s fixed fee (payable to the City) would be set by parties other than the City. The fee is not quantified, but if it is lower than "Total Golf Program Budget ÷ Total Budgeted Rounds + $20”, then I would submit it is too low and should be set by the City, or perhaps those few spots should not be sold at all. The turf would be grateful.

In passing, I would also note that Attachment #2 to the Staff Report is likely predicated upon inaccurate data, as the tee sheet is not currently recording the names of the day’s actual resident golfers. Perhaps,

2 with the move to the new Troon Access program, both Troon and the resident golfers will want the tee sheet to properly record each name of the resident foursome. But for now, I would hazard to guess that some names show up frequently just because they were place-holder names at the time of booking. (It is a frantic on-line scramble at 06:00, and not everyone knows for sure who will be joining them in two weeks’ time)

As always, I’m available for clarifications if my points are unclear to the reader.

Cheers
Vern Byggdin

Mr. Byggdin,

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your observations and concerns with the City Council and Troon. A copy of your email was forwarded by a City Council member. I have spoken to General Manager Robin Graf about some of the comments and he and I will be meeting next week to address them as appropriate.

I appreciate some of your suggestions on better enforcement of the resident and resident guest rates and there is merit to doing so. As for adjusting resident/resident guest rates, the City Council has agreed to have a discussion on the matter in the new year.

The resident guest rate is based on a formula, and it has increased this year. No decisions have been made to adjust the resident/resident guest rate further, but a public dialogue will occur.

Lastly, the City Council formed a subcommittee to develop a code of conduct and appropriate penalties for those that violate the code of conduct or misuse their resident benefit cards. You comments are very timely.

Again, appreciate the outreach and please feel free to email me if you have any questions.

Subject: IWGR - increasing revenue and profit

3 CAUTION: This email originated outside our organization. Be cautious with any links or attachments.

Dear Mayor and Council members; cc Mr. Robin Graf, IWGR GM

I am writing today to share my observations and thoughts on how the City might improve IWGR golf revenues whilst protecting resident golf rates. I was prompted to write after reviewing the 24/25 Strategic Plan Goals Update on the City’s website, and specifically, “have the IWGR be more profitable”.

Having purchased a home in the spring of 2023, I am relatively new to the area. My wife and I have enjoyed two full seasons of IWGR golf. Hence, I believe I am ‘new enough’ to have fresh eyes on the subject, but with two years of observations upon which to base my thoughts.

The use of resident rates and resident guest rates are not monitored nor enforced as well as they could/should be:

Residents are not required to check-in at the pro shop prior to their round, nor required to show their Golf Resident Benefit Cards at the pro shop or at the starter’s kiosks. Residents gladly show their RBCs at the tennis tournament, at Kestrel and local restaurants … we carry them in our wallets. It is not onerous to require them at the first tee. This should be mandatory and enforcing this one small change would ‘move the needle’ on revenues. The starters are very diligent in having drivers sign for their carts. Let’s get in the habit of scrutinizing every RBC, too.

I have witnessed, on more than one occasion, guests playing under resident rates. A Bighorn member (PD resident) played for $35; a ridiculous mis-use of resident privilege.

I once joined a two-some who both had the same name recorded in the tee sheet system. They were both playing under the resident rate. One was not a resident and should have been paying the guest rate. How did the booking system accept the same resident name twice on the same tee time?

The IWGR website states “all residents must present their Property Owner ID at check-in to receive the special resident rate.” The policy already exists — let’s enforce it.

City Hall has a mailing list of all Golfing RBC holders — alert everyone now via email of the new season requirement for every resident-rate-golfer to show their RBC to the starter.

Too many folks use the range but avoid paying the $20 user fee:

I have never seen a person challenged by staff for walking straight from the parking lot to the range. As I typically see this during every visit, I suspect it happens a lot!

Currently, paying $20 for the range when I can pay $35 for the range PLUS 18 holes doesn’t make a lot of sense. I also appreciate that we don’t want the range flooded with non-playing users. What about using the current tee booking system to manage a small number of range spots? They could be $15 or $20 in the morning and lower in the afternoon, and the number of spots could increase as the day progresses. Troon would know how to optimize this.

Consider raising the guest green fee:

Based upon other guest rates in the valley, our guest rate could be raised to $120 or $125, especially in light of the recent investment in the Players course renovation. I couldn’t locate a recent count of guest players on the City website, but an old IWGR Financial Update would indicate about 6,000 “resident guests” per year. Based upon that estimate, a modest $10 guest fee increase would generate $60K of profit, as this revenue would flow directly to the bottom line.

There should be consequences:

4 Residents who are caught cheating should lose their golf privileges (or their RBC) for the season.

The RBCs are a privilege — not a right. Nor should staff take any grief from residents who are caught cheating. City Hall should not entertain residents brazen enough to complain about being caught by Troon staff.

Slight staffing reductions?

Regarding staffing, I would suggest there may be an opportunity to reduce costs, but I’m sure this is studied regularly by Troon and Kestrel management. I would only say here that I’ve never once witnessed a shortage of back-shop staff at the beginning or end of a round, and the number of staff standing at Kestrel’s entrance to greet me (or say goodbye) is usually greater than one and sometimes greater than two.

Bottom line: There are opportunities to increase golf revenues and perhaps reduce some labour costs. Small operational modifications could give council and the golf committee a good ‘win’, without touching the sacrosanct resident golf rate.

Thank you for your service to our community and thanks for listening.

Best regards,
Vern Byggdin

Dear Council Member:

I have been a resident of Indian Wells some 20 years. It seems like things are changing and not for the better.One of the most important amenities is the city golf course, the rates for residents, and the ability to make tee times 14 days in advance. It makes Indian Wells Special. It keeps our home prices higher than those in surrounding cities. I am completely against any changes considered. The renovation of the Players course was a bad idea and the results manifest into a very tight municipal like course. Not to the standards of Indian Wells.

I can remember when Indian Wells held nights at the Living Desert during Wild Lights. This was an event where dinner was served and every Indian Wells resident was asked to come. You as council members, when asked, gave money to

2 the Living Desert. Now, we do not get the evening during Wild Lights with dinner, and instead of all Indian Wells residents being able to attend, there appears to be only a finite number of tickets to attend. What happened to the dinner? And after giving them money, why do we not get tickets for All the Indian Wells Residents? Who did the negotiation?
I can also remember when the City Parties were open to every resident. Now it appears that the parties are limited to a finite number of tickets. I don’t know the reason. Is it because of parking or because of expense? It diminishes the value of being a resident. I would suggest that for either reason, you hold the parties on 2 successive evenings. If you were to stop giving money to entities that do not DIRECTLY benefit the residents you would not have to budget events that do.

City government is not a Philanthropic endeavor. I repeat City Government is not a Philanthropic endeavor. Yet you, as council members, seem to relish in giving city money to entities that do not DIRECTLY impact the city. As an example since I have been a resident a large amount of money has been given to the homeless. Yet the statistics show that no matter how much is given the problem persists or grows. It is time that you decide to make the residents interests number one!
Stop giving away the city money! Make the Wild Lights open to all residents. Make the City parties open to all residents. Spend the money on those of us who live in Indian Wells. Refrain on requests that do not DIRECTLY impact the residents.

You have also been approached by Eisenhower Hospital to fund a trauma center in the amount of one million dollars. I understand we were the only city they approached. We are also the city in the Coachella Valley with the least amount of trauma. Why did they not approach the cities Desert Hot Springs, Indio, or Coachella? You could rebate $200 to every resident and let each of them decide where to spend the money. You may not like President Trump but he does know how to negotiate. If you do give any money to Eisenhower; it should come with something in return to the residents. For example; make any contribution contingent that any Indian Wells Resident, who goes to the Eisenhower ER, be placed in the front of the Queue.

Dear IW Council Member,
As a 10-year resident who very recently retired, I am extremely disheartened to hear that the Resident Golf Amenity is under review for possible changes or elimination. It is, in part, why I chose Indian Wells as my retirement location.

Most concerning, as a tax paying citizen, is the idea of funding a golf resort for many years and not being able to enjoy those same services with some benefit. Where is the logic of citizens carrying all of the risk yet none of the rewards?!

All the similar communities in the valley offer a similar program to what is currently in place in Indian Wells and should continue to offer. I fully understand the need to modify to stay with conditions.

However, when I see the resort finally turning a profit after years of funding it as a citizen, the city now may take away the benefit for more profit, I become wholly discouraged. If this is the view point of the city, I, among others I know, will consider leaving the community for one that prioritizes its citizens.

Please consider how this may affect those in the community before making any changes to the program.

Best,
Paul F Groth

CAUTION: This email originated outside our organization. Be cautious with any links or attachments.

Part of the benefit of living in Indian Wells was the Resident Rate to play at the Indian Wells Golf Resort. Even if you don't golf, I'm sure the appeal of friends and relatives who do play, would benefit from the resident and guest rate.

If you all have any notion of canceling or changing it just because you need more $ to balance your budget to make up for your losses at the Kestrel Restaurant which is indicative of their poor service and menu choices, and to cover your cost overruns for the Players Course, find other ways to offset your losses for your poor budgeting and finical management problems.

The Vue was great when they had weekday specials - now it's a waste of time and too expensive.

This seems to be an ongoing problem since I've been here (11) years) of managing the course and the facility.

Very Disappointed in the way it's been run up to this point.

And as Mr. Peabody has pointed out, all these discrepancies after all these years, are still ongoing and the City Manager (who hired this guy) thinks he can make up for it by jacking up the resident rates or eliminating it altogether.

If you do, you'll lose a lot more business.

Please consider other alternatives for you budget shortfalls.

Dear Mr. Freedland and All city council members:

I am a property owner in the wonderful city of Indian Wells. I am very concerned about my ability to reserve t times, which now stands 14 days. I purchased the property due to the resort being available for golf at a discounted rate. It appears that at the January 5, 2026 council meeting that this is/may be changed. Property in Indian Wells is expensive and rightfully so.

I am requesting that the perks, that come with being a property-owner, reduced green fees and the ability to reserved T times two weeks in advance

This is a major issue for myself and my family.

I urge you not to change that in any way the green fees for residents the ability to reserve a T time 14 days in advance. I have met several residents in the past two plus years who have also purchased property for the benefits of the resort courses . Several people have advised me in the last few months that the City may be thinking about changing the green fees. A small percentage increase may be warranted at this point. The reservation system that allows a 14 day window for resident should not be touched.

2 Sincerely

CAUTION: This email originated outside our organization. Be cautious with any links or attachments.

Hello Mr. Freeland,
I have become aware that the resident rate at the resort is in jeopardy. This is simply UNACCEPTABLE to me as a resident. In 2021, I played at the resort for the first time and 2 residents were in my group. They told me what they paid for the round, and I Instantly made the decision to buy property in Indian Wells. I have since purchased TWO properties in Indian Wells. I cannot overstate what value the resident golf rate has for the residents, as well as the public cache it presents to the entire world, frankly. Doing away with it would not net financial benefits that come anywhere close to the inherent intangibles. If the city has been so foolish with financial policy decisions as to require eliminating the resident golf rate to make up for it, I will hold everyone in the city office accountable.

That's how democracy works... Of the people, by the people, and FOR the people.

Best Wishes, Charles (Chase) Kopecky

Mr. Freeland

I am writing to express my concern regarding the proposed changes to homeowner Golf privileges. Many residence, self included, purchased homes in Indian Wells speciﬁcally because of these beneﬁts, which have long been a valued part of living in this community.

In particular, the ability to book teatime 14 days in advance and to enjoy the associated monetary privileges is extremely important to homeowners. These beneﬁts were a signiﬁcant factor in our decision to invest in Indian Wells and contribute to the quality of life that distinguishes our city.

I understand and respect the cities need to generate revenue. However, I believe there are other venues and opportunities to accomplish this without diminishing beneﬁts that are fundamental to the homeowners and long- standing residence.

I respectfully ask you to consideration revenue solutions that do not negatively impact long-standing residence beneﬁts. Preserving these privileges helps, maintain property values, community satisfaction, and the unique appeal of our community.

Sincerely,

Daniel LaGuardia

Subject:Indian Wells Residents‘ Golf Amenity
CAUTION: This email originated outside our organization. Be cautious with any links or attachments. ________________________________

I have been a resident of Coachella Valley for 20 years. I have lived in La Quinta for most of the time, but after I learned of the amenities of the residents of Indian Wells, including the discounted golf rates, discounted restaurant prices, and use of the swimming pools at the hotels, I decided to purchase a house in Indian Wells.

That was about six years ago. Immediately after I purchased a house, the use of the swimming pools in the hotels was prohibited.

I was a customer at the main restaurant for the city at the golf resort, several times a week. However, the restaurant had a severe decline in its quality, and subsequently a renovation was done with a steep raise in prices.

Even with the increased prices, I attempted several times to be a patron of the restaurant. I had several instances when the quality of the food was subpar while the price was premium, to my frustration.

The only reason I remain a resident of the city is the discounted Golf rate. If that is also taken away, there will be no more reason for me to remain a resident of the city of Indian Wells.

Respectfully,
Chun C. Lai, MD, MHA.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to any changes to the existing Resident Golf Amenity in Indian Wells and to support the concerns raised in the email forwarded below regarding this agenda item.

Any modification to resident rates, tee-time access, or related privileges risks opening a hornet’s nest of unintended consequences that could negatively affect residents citywide and erode confidence in long- standing commitments made by the City.

I respectfully urge the Council to preserve the status quo and to avoid changes that could diminish this long- standing and defining resident benefit or its role in maintaining Indian Wells’ unique character and property values.

Thank you.

PS. I have lived in Indian Wells for over 30 years and participated in several City issues over the years, most recently spending nearly three years engaged in changes affecting our streets. I am not looking to take on another prolonged advocacy role, and raise this concern now in the hope that the Council will recognize the significance of this issue and avoid the need for further resident mobilization.

Thank you.

Is Chris Freeland attempting to eliminate the
Resident Golf Amenity?

IW Views for January 13, 2026
Keeping the Residents of Indian Wells Informed

The demise of Coachella Valley’s most Iconic City.

Since the hiring of Chris Freeland as the City Manager, Indian Wells has changed from a unique Residential Paradise to what could become an annexed subdivision of Palm Desert. Not that Palm Desert is bad mind you, it’s just not Indian Wells. The uniqueness of Indian Wells starts when you approach Cook Street on Highway 111. The center median strip with flowers and shrubs lined up along the street and it ends as you cross the bridge on the east end going into La Quinta. Freeland wants to change that beautiful strip of flowers and shrubs to sand and gravel.

It appears as though he now wants to change the Resident Golf Amenity just as he changed the Iconic Players Course, taking it from a world class public course to a reduced Muni-Course

3 without any character, charm or challenge.

What is he up to now? If you haven’t seen the agenda for the upcoming Council Meeting on Thursday January 15, 2026, at 1:30pm, you had better find a copy and read it for yourself. It’s hard to determine exactly what he is up to, but one thing is for sure, it’s got to be good for him and bad for the Residents of Indian Wells.

Is this his attempt to increase golf rates to recoup serious financial losses from Kestrel restaurant operations or the $2.6 million renovation expense of Kestrel. Does he possibly think that he can recover any of the $15 million spent on reconstructing the Players Course, changing it from an Iconic Public Course rated in the top 20 of public courses in the nation to a shortened Muni-course without any hope of gaining the notoriety of the original course.

The analysis shown in the agenda packet by Freeland clearly shows that the golf amenity in Indian Wells is in line with the other cities in the valley, which further questions, why is he calling for a discussion of the golf amenity at this time. It is not necessary.

Indian Wells has few amenities for its residents, but the one cherished amenity is the golf privileges the Residents have enjoyed since the Golf Courses were constructed in 1986. Yes, we understand that not every resident plays golf, but every resident can if they so choose. It appears as though Mr. Freeland wants to destroy, revise, reduce, or eliminate that cherished amenity. We cannot allow him to do that.

He presents a descriptive analysis very well with a historical

4 review of the Golf Resort, but he leaves out the most important aspect and that is the commitment by the city to the Residents that the rate Residents pay for golf would not change if the Residents allowed the Redevelopment Agency to construct the Golf Courses.

He and his staff make no recommendations as to what they want to achieve from the agenda item, but it is clear, whatever it is, it will not be good for the residents.

You don’t go through that kind of extensive exercise without having some idea of making changes to the status quo, that means making changes to the resident benefit of playing golf for $35 or keeping the 14-day advance tee time privilege or reducing the number of tee times a resident might play.

We are informed that some of the Council Members might be inclined to go along with his scheme. We know that three of the members do not play golf, Reed, Sanders and Penna. Toper Taylor lives in the Vintage and plays there, so Whitman is the only Council Member who plays golf at the Resort.

If any changes to the current structure of the resident amenity is made, not just every IW golfer will be affected, but every homeowner in Indian Wells will be affected as well, even those homeowners who live inside a Country Club and do not play golf at the IW Golf resort.

People buy houses in Indian Wells because of the golf amenity.

Surveys have shown that people pay a higher price for that privilege.

5 The likely hood of any changes would come during the busiest time of the year when the demand for play is greater. However, what may not be recognized is that if you change the rules for the residents in the winter, they may not want to play in the summer when most of the people playing are year-round residents.

The misnomer about Guest Golf is that it really is not Guest Golf, it just family members coming to play golf with their parents or other members of their family. So, the attitude of some is that the city should charge more for Guests playing, when in fact, its penalizing residents who have family visiting.

Each resident needs to decide what their position is on this issue and if you want to protect this resident amenity you cannot sit by and become the “silent Majority”. You will need to become very active in this process. You will need to let each council member know that you oppose any changes to the resident golf amenity. Remember, it’s really the only true amenity you have left.

You must be strong in your opposition to change the resident golf amenity. It is essential that you contact every council member and let them know that not only do you oppose a change to the resident golf amenity, but you will oppose them if they seek re- election.

In addition to sending emails to the council, appearing before council to oppose any changes to the golf amenity, send emails to the Desert Sun explaining your position on the proposed rate increase issue. You need to be proactive if we are to succeed in preventing a change to the golf amenity. Let all residents know that their property values will

6 decline if a change in the golf amenity occurs. If additional meetings are planned, you will also need to attend follow-up meetings.

This is not the time to simply be a part of the “silent majority” and hope that a small group of residents will turn the tide. The only possibility of preventing an increase in the rates and elimination of the 14-day advance tee time is for you to let your position be known and now is the time to do so.

We need to get the message out to every resident, and request that each of them also express their opposition to these changes.

Forward a copy of this IW Views to your friends and neighbors.

This could be the beginning to the elimination of every amenity we enjoy in Indian Wells. What will be next? Once you are on that slippery slope, it is hard to get off.

Thank you in advance for your consideration and remember, it is only the residents/voters who can prevent the changes in our amenities. It’s up to you.

We have been homeowners in IW for 5 years now. One of the reasons we purchased ( after staying many years in La Quinta) were the amenities afforded to the homeowners/stakeholders.

We, the community, cherish what this city has to offer; beautiful views, great pedestrian areas, good neighbors, tennis perks, restaurant perks and good golf. Please DO NOT make changes to the resident golf program. The city and its past councils seem hell bent extracting more from us ( the homeowners)
If you are finding shortfalls in the coffers, why not spend more wisely on fixing the restaurant. I happened to be there last night at 5pm, and not one table in the dining area had a diner. Hire someone that knows how to market to the surrounding communities to draw them into that fabulous space.

Sirs:

In my opinion there is no justifiable reason to continue the resident golf amenity as it's reportedly used by only ~ 1/3 of residents.

If there was a way to give those that don't play golf a commensurate break or stipend that might be considered but neither is necessary or desirable from a fiscal standpoint.

I'm very disturbed to hear that the city manager is trying to change the city golf program. This sounds like an attempt by the country clubs to force the cities golfers to join up by removing one of the best reasons for being an Indian Wells resident

As a long term property owner in Indian Wells it is unfathomable to me that the council would entertain any changes to the resident golf program. It's one of the only unique benefits of being a city resident and without it I would seriously question why I should continue owning a property in the city.

Subject:Resident and Resident Guest Golf Rates at Indian Wells Golf Resort To whom it may concern:

I read with interest the agenda item 1.4 for the upcoming City Council meeting on January 16th.

1.4- Comprehensive Overview and Discussion of Resident and Resident Guest Golf Rates at Indian Wells Golf Resort

My thoughts are as follows:

a) While we support the financial wellbeing of the IWGR, it is worth noting that there are many golf destinations in the Coachella Valley, and indeed in California. b) We bought property here in 1/2026 because of the IWGR arrangement - $35 off season, $50 high season - a pattern that many regulars at IWGR have done before me. c) La Quinta has a golf arrangement for $50 to play SilverRock; Palm Desert has an arrangement to play Desert Willow for $52; Classic Club has an arrangement to pay $130 (minus a $25 F&B voucher) - and is not as busy as either of the first 2 locations.
d) IWGR has already effectively shut down the Troon Rewards program and the complimentary F&B chip for booked foursomes.
e) Although the changes in the Players course are much appreciated, it is more dangerous (much tighter, tee boxes near greens), and plays like a resort course now vs. the old course. As such there are far more openings now on Players than on Celebrity. Empty tee times = lost revenue. f) City Council can decide whatever it wants to, but I worry that if you increase the rates, you will lose players, and residents. And there is seemingly no need to raise rates at this time.

We greatly appreciate your hard work in running this great city of ours.

Kindest regards,

Simon Robarts

Subject: Concerned Resident of Indian Wells

Dear Bruce Whitman, Member of the City Council,

I am writing to state my strong opposition to any change, reduction, or elimination of the Indian Wells Resident Golf Amenity, including resident rates or advance tee-time
privileges.

This amenity is a core commitment the City made to residents decades ago and a primary reason many of us chose to purchase homes in Indian Wells. While not every resident plays
golf, every resident benefits from the property value, prestige, and quality of life it provides.

The City’s own analysis shows the resident golf program is already in line with other valley cities. There is no
demonstrated need to revisit or alter it. Any change would be unnecessary, harmful to property values, and a breach of trust with residents.

I urge the Council to maintain the Resident Golf Amenity exactly as it exists today and to remove any proposed or implied changes from consideration.

2 Please be advised that I strongly oppose any council member who supports changes to this resident benefit and will take that position into account in future elections.

Respectfully,

Caron Sardella

Subject: Proposed Golf Amenity Discussion
Dear City Council of Indian Wells,
As a homeowner and native-born resident of Indian Wells for nearly 60 years, I have witnessed the evolution of our small town as closely as anyone. I grew up riding my bicycle through date groves, grabbing milkshakes at the Eldorado Date Garden, doing odd jobs for neighbors, and playing in the streets before there were even curbs or gutters. I remember visiting the Erawan Hotel (now Tommy Bahamas) to see live reindeer during the Christmas season. These experiences are not merely nostalgic; they reflect a time when Indian Wells was already understood to be a truly special place to live.

That distinction has endured, which is why I find it deeply troubling to see current efforts that risk diminishing the very qualities that make Indian Wells so desirable.

The City Council’s (some of you I voted for) decision to revisit the issue of amenities and green fees at the golf resort is, in my view, a misguided use of city efforts and resources. I lived here when the city debated and ultimately built the resort in 1986. It was explicitly presented as a citizen-owned project, and residents agreed to allow Redevelopment Agency funds to be used for its construction. In return, the terms were clearly established in writing: resident fees and access would be set at $35. There was—and remains—no sunset provision allowing those fees to be reset at a later date. The agreement was clear then and remains binding now.

The fixed green fee, combined with the resort’s close proximity to every home in the city, unquestionably enhances property values. Along with quiet streets, beautifully maintained medians, and a limited commercial footprint, these benefits make Indian Wells one of the most desirable communities in the Valley—and arguably the country. Our evolution has always been nuanced, shaped by a small population and a shared understanding of what makes this place exceptional. It is precisely that balance and those benefits that set Indian Wells apart, and they deserve to be protected.

2 When you joined the City Council, I doubt you anticipated being bound by the will of any single individual, regardless of title; I’m sure you felt your role was to represent the will of your constituents. If the Council believes residents support changing the amenity package or fee structure at the golf resort, then that proposal should be put before the citizens for a vote. Absent that, as my father—a Valley pioneer—used to say, “Simply put, a deal is a deal” and this issue should be put to rest once and for all.

Respectfully,
Timothy Callahan

CAUTION: This email originated outside our organization. Be cautious with any links or attachments.

I'm a resident of Colony Cove in IW.

Don't know why golf rates for residents is even an issue to be discussed today given the report in the January, 2026 IW newsletter - except copied below:

"The City of Indian Wells upheld its standing as one of California’s most fiscally healthy and well- managed cities in 2025, maintaining a steadfast commitment to long-term sustainability. In line with this, the City projects approximately $29.4 million in revenue for the General Fund over the next two years.

With budgeted expenditures around $24.6 million, Indian Wells anticipates a surplus of approximately $5 million to reinvest in the community."

City Council Meeting:

January 15, 2026 - Public Comment
Provided at the Dais
General Business Item I.4

It seems to me to be a restaurant problem and also a
poor redo of the Players Course that should not
penalize the Indian Wells community. We pay huge
property taxes to live here and our golf benefit means a lot to us. Poor decisions regarding excessive fees to a failing restaurant endeavor should lie on the decision
makers .

Please do not take it out on the community who are in
Indian Wells because of the golf benefit.

Respectfully,
Leah and Peter Giacobazzi
