Finance and Administration manages all financial, administrative and cost analysis aspects of the incident and/or any administrative aspects not handled by other functions. Initially, this work may be done in the EOC, but in later stages of the emergency, this function may be accomplished at other locations.
The Finance and Administration Chief is responsible for all fiscal activities related to the disaster situation. The Finance and Administration Section may consist of only one person initially who performs all duties. As an incident grows, if staffing allows, it is likely that the Finance and Administration Section personnel will increase. This section also determines purchasing/spending limits for the procurement function in the logistics section. This unit will need to track and pay all costs related to the incident, with an additional focus on Recovery (both recovery of incident-related costs, as well as other, mainly financial aspects, of long-term community recovery).
There are several important aspects of this function. First, in a major disaster, the state and federal governments will provide certain reimbursements to local jurisdictions.
Tracking local expenditures and damages is necessary to receive reimbursements. If tracking by systematic means is not done during an emergency, it may take years to retrace and document expenditures.
Second, d uring every major disaster, people get hurt, or property is damaged during the response phase. These events usually lead to claims against the responding agency or jurisdiction. The Finance and Administration Section is responsible for investigating all known claims as quickly as possible.

Approve the Five -Year Services Agr eement between the City of Indio and Flock Group Inc. for the lease of 45 Flock Safety Automatic License Plate Recognition cameras, in the amount of $586,750, in the form approved by the City Attorney and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement and related forms on behalf of the City.
SUMMARY:
Our current Automatic License Plate Recognition Camera program is successful in generating public safety leads to help aid Police Department personnel in locating vehicles of interest e.g., a stolen vehicle, a missing adult, or a potential vehicle used in a crime. The City currently has a one -year agreement with Flock Safety for twenty (20) cameras at $2,500 per camera, per year. Staff is proposing adding an additional twenty-five (25) cameras to the existing program. Flock Safety recently notified the City of its intent to raise the fee per camera to $3,000; however, the vendor is offering promotional pricing at the current rate of $2,500 should the City enter into a five -year agreement.
Provided the existing relationship with Flock Safety, Staff is recomme nding entering into a five -year agreement to protect the City from the current and future price increases per camera. The promotional pricing represents $120,000 cost-savings over the five-year term.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Flock Safety provides crime-fighting technology (cameras and software) under a service subscription model. Flock Safety’s service is a flat annual fee that includes: ALPR camera hardware, hardware maintenance, ALPR software, software updates, unlimited users, 30 days of unlimited data storage, LTE connectivity, solar panels, poles, mounting equipment, and monitoring. Flock Safety provides all supplies and equipment under standard operating procedures and complies with all government regulations and workplace safety guidelines. If the City of Indio chooses not to renew the agreement, Flock Safety will remove the cameras. The City retains discretion in terminating the agreement provided a ninety-day written notice.
Flock Safety is a public safety operating system that helps communities and law enforcement (in over one thousand cities nationwide) work together to eliminate crime, protect privacy, and mitigate bias.
Other local Southern California government agencies currently using Flock Systems include the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, Azusa Police Department (PD), Covina PD, West Covina PD, and the AGENDA ITEM #10.9
Approval of a Five-Year Master Services Agreement between the City of In... Page 344 of 523 City of Redlands. Within Riverside County, the Sheriff's Department, as well as the cities of Beaumont, Canyon Lake, Cathedral City, Corona, Desert Hot Springs, Hemet, La Quinta, Lake Elsinore, Menifee, Moreno Valley, Norco, Palm Desert, Palm Springs, Perris, Rancho Mirage, San Jacinto, Temecula, and Wildomar are also on the system.
The original services agreement with Flock Safety was approved at the January 13, 2022, City Council meeting. The current ALPR program has been a great tool in assisting the Police Department in generating public safety investigative leads. Since the inception of the program, we have recovered over eighteen (18) stolen vehicles and arrested numerous felony suspects due to leads generated by the program.
Flock Safety is the only fully integrated ALPR one-stop solution from the production of the camera to delivery and installation. The camera utilizes motion capture to start and stop recording with machine learning and artificial intelligence, which allows Flock Safety to capture vehicle characteristics without the need for a reflective license plate.
The Indio Police Department is also requesting that the lease of the Flock Safety system be conducted pursuant to the “limited availability/sole source” exemption under Section 33.116(C)(4)(b) of the Indio Municipal Code. This section permits a sole source purchase when the equipment is of a proprietary nature as well as when the equipment is specifically desired for purposes of maintaining cost-effective system consistency. In this case, the Flock Safety equipment has proprietary patented technology which makes their system unique as well and they are the sole manufacturer and distributor of the Flock Safety Autom atic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) Camera (Attachment 2). Flock Safety is also the sole provider of comprehensive monitoring, processing, and machine vision services that integrate with the Flock Safety Camera.

At Flock Safety, technology unites law enforcement and the communities they serve to eliminate crime and shape a safer future, together. We created the first public safety operating system to enable neighborhoods, schools, businesses, and law enforcement to work together to collect visual, audio, and situational evidence across an entire city to solve and prevent crime.
Our connected platform, comprised of License Plate Recognition (LPR), live video, audio detection, and a suite of integrations (AVL, CAD & more), alerts law enforcement when an incident occurs and turns unbiased data into objective answers that increase case clearance, maximize resources, and reduce crime -- all without compromising transparency or human privacy.

Nothing in this Agreement will prevent the Receiving Party from disclosing the Proprietary Information pursuant to any judicial or governmental order, provided that the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party reasonable prior notice of such disclosure to contest such order. At the termination of this Agreement, all Proprietary Information will be returned to the Disclosing Party, destroyed or erased (if recorded on an erasable storage medium), together with any copies thereof, when no longer needed for the purposes above, or upon request from the Disclosing Party, and in any case upon termination of the Agreement. Notwithstanding any termination, all confidentiality obligations of Proprietary Information that is trade secret shall continue in perpetuity or until such information is no longer trade secret.
5.2 Usage Restrictions on Flock IP. Flock and its licensors retain all right, title and interest in and to the Flock IP and its components, and Customer acknowledges that it neither owns nor acquires any additional rights in and to the foregoing not expressly granted by this Agreement.
Customer further acknowledges that Flock retains the right to use the foregoing for any purpose in Flock’s sole discretion.

6. PAYMENT OF FEES
6.1 Billing and Payment of Fees. Customer shall pay the fees set forth in the applicable Order Form based on the billing structure and payment terms as indicated in the Order Form. If Customer believes that Flock has billed Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact Flock no later than thirty (30) days after the closing date on the first invoice in which the error or problem appeared to receive an adjustment or credit. Customer acknowledges and agrees that a failure to contact Flock within this period will serve as a waiver of any claim. If any undisputed fee is more than thirty (30) days overdue, Flock may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, suspend delivery of its service until such undisputed invoice is paid in full. Flock shall provide at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Customer of the payment delinquency before exercising any suspension right.
6.2 Notice of Changes to Fees. Flock reserves the right to change the fees for subsequent Renewal Terms by providing sixty (60) days’ notice (which may be sent by email) prior to the end of the Initial Term or Renewal Term (as applicable).
6.3 Late Fees. If payment is not issued to Flock by the due date of the invoice, an interest penalty of 1.0% of any unpaid amount may be added for each month or fraction thereafter, until final payment is made.
6.4 Taxes. Customer is responsible for all taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only taxes based on Flock’s net income, imposed by taxing authorities associated with the order. If Flock has the legal obligation to pay or collect taxes, including amount subsequently assessed by a taxing authority, for which Customer is responsible, the appropriate amount shall be invoice to and paid by Customer unless Customer provides Flock a legally sufficient tax exemption certificate and Flock shall not charge customer any taxes from which it is exempt. If any deduction or withholding is required by law, Customer shall notify Flock and shall pay Flock any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the net amount that Flock receives, after any deduction and
AGENDA ITEM #10.9
Approval of a Five-Year Master Services Agreement between the City of In... Page 365 of 523 withholding, equals the amount Flock would have received if no deduction or withholding had been required.
7. TERM AND TERMINATION
7.1 Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall be for the period of time set forth on the Order Form (the “Term”). Following the Term, unless otherwise indicated on the Order Form, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive renewal terms of the greater of one year or the length set forth on the Order Form (each, a “Renewal Term”) unless either Party gives the other Party notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term.
7.2 Termination. Customer may terminate this Agreement in its sole and absolute discretion, with or without cause, at any time by giving ninety-day advanced written notice of termination to Flock. If Customer has pre-paid any amounts for the Term, Customer shall not receive any refunds. If Customer has any fees due to Flock for the remaining Term, Customer will remit payment to Flock upon thirty (30) days receipt of invoice. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Flock will remove any applicable Flock Hardware at a commercially reasonable time period. In the event of any material breach of this Agreement, the non-breaching Party may terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the Term by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to the breaching Party; provided, however, that this Agreement will not terminate if the breaching Party has cured the breach prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period (“Cure Period”). Either Party may terminate this Agreement (i) upon the institution by or against the other Party of insolvency, receivership or bankruptcy proceedings, (ii) upon the other Party's making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (iii) upon the other Party's dissolution or ceasing to do business. In the event of a material breach by Flock, and Flock is unable to cure within the Cure Period, Flock will refund Customer a pro-rata portion of the pre-paid fees for Services not received due to such termination.
In the event that Flock products or Flock Services are no longer permitted by the laws governing Customer's jurisdiction, Customer may terminate this Agreement with no penalty. If Customer has pre-paid any amounts for the Term, Customer shall not receive any refunds.
7.3 Survival. The following Sections will survive termination: 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8.3, 8.4, 9, 11.1 and

AGENDA ITEM #10.10
City of Indio Sustainability Commission FY 23/24 Work Plan and Outreach ... Page 383 of 523 1 About the Sustainability Commission
The City Council created the Sustainability Commission in 2014 and the Commission held the first meeting on February 23, 2015. Shortl y after , the C ommission created the following mission statement:
The Indio Sustainability Commission is dedicated to contributing to a clean and healthy environment, preserving cultural and historic resources, promoting community engagement and creating a thriving economy.
In 2020, The City Council approved Ordinance 1750 which included § 32.12 Sustainability Commission Establishment and Duties that specifically tasked the commission to develop and recommend for adoption by the City Council a Sustainability Plan. The Commissioners understood that sustainability is a vast and complex target, and that learning from experts is an important part of building sustainability programs and plans.
With that understanding there have been many distinguished speakers from different organizations throughout the course of the Commission meetings including the Coachella Valley Association of Governments, Electrify America, Global Green, students from Indio High School, SoCalGas, GRID Alternatives and CalRecycle.
The C ommission actively considers projects, grants, partnerships and policy recommendations that advance sustainability goals.

AGENDA ITEM #10.10
City of Indio Sustainability Commission FY 23/24 Work Plan and Outreach ... Page 384 of 523 2 Process
The commission began the process of developing a Sustainability Plan by considering other plans that have been developed for the City including the General Pl an 2040, Climate Action Plan and Complete Streets. These plans have been through robust public engagement and contain multiple actions that affect sustainability in Indio either directly or indirectly. This plan lists possible projects to move toward sustainability and these projects are a mix of actions taken from these previous city plans and ideas discussed in the commission. Where actions are taken directly from previous plans that have been adopted by the city, a reference to that plan is included using the following notations:
CAP Climate Action Plan
GPU General Plan 2040
CS Complete Streets
TCC Transformative Climate Communities Plan
New regulations that mandate food waste diversion, renewable energy standards and water conservation goals were also considered. Although these measures are mandated, they advance the city toward sustainability and require strategy, time and investment.

AGENDA ITEM #10.10
City of Indio Sustainability Commission FY 23/24 Work Plan and Outreach ... Page 385 of 523 3 Partnerships and Collaborating Efforts
The Sustainability Commission recognizes that partnerships with other organizations working on similar initiatives enhances city efforts. This Plan is meant to compile sustainability efforts as well as provide goals and visions for a sustainable city.
Incorporating parallel efforts toward sustainability from outside entities is essential in understanding and incorporating new science and innovative solutions for sustainability .
The Commission follows and considers the work of many organizations including:
AB617 addresses air pollution impacts in environmental justice communities including the Eastern Coachella Valley (ECV). The ECV community produced the Community Emissions Reduction Plan in 2021.
Clean Cities Coachella Valley hosted by SunLine Transit Agency
C40 Cities provide information and showcase solutions that cities are implementing to limit climate change.
SB375 prompts California regions to work
together to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions from cars and light trucks.
Limitations of the Plan
Aspects of sustainability touch almost all
city functions and also extend far beyond
city boundaries. The United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals include
the need to address poverty,
homelessness and health. The City of
Indio’s Transformative Climate
Communities Plan considers housing
availability and community centers. These
are vital facets of sustainability, however,
in order to keep the Sustainability Plan
more focused, the Plan does not include
recommendations and projects for every
facet of sustainability. Limitations of this
scope of this Plan should not limit sustainability actions taken by the City in any way. All
AGENDA ITEM #10.10
City of Indio Sustainability Commission FY 23/24 Work Plan and Outreach ... Page 386 of 523 4 city departments have opportunity and responsibility to undertake initiatives that affect sustainability.
Local Risks
Heat
California’s Fourth Climate Change Assessment provided an overview of climate-related risks and adaptation strategies tailored to specific regions and themes and included the Inland Deserts Region Report. This report includes the Coachella Valley Region and highlights the risks of higher temperatures projected to increase by up to 8-14 degrees F by the end of the century and extreme drought and extreme wet events becoming more common (Hopkins, 2018). The City of Indio Climate Action Plan models predict an increase between 5.6 degrees F and 9.1 degree F with extreme heat events becoming more frequent and lasting longer. Indio and surrounding areas comprise a unique urbanized desert area where increased heat is a critical local risk.
Water
Water resources are an important consideration, especially in a desert region. As climate change alters precipitation patterns, sustainable water becomes more and more critical. This Plan includes a chapter on water resources however, more in depth water resource management is addressed in the 2022 Indio Subbasin Water Management Plan Update and the 2018 Coachella Valley Integrated Regional Water Management and Stormwater Resource Plan. In Indio, water is a vital risk factor for sustainability.
Air Quality
Indio is located within the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) which is the agency responsible for improving air quality in parts of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sets national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for some air pollutants and air quality districts must meet the standards or execute an approved plan to meet the standards within specific time frames.
The Coachella Valley meets most NAAQS however, this area Valley is in extreme nonattainment for the 1997 8-hour Ozone standard of 0.08 ppm despite significant improvements over the years. Gas and diesel powered vehicles emit nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that mix with heat and sunlight to produce Ozone. Reducing vehicle emissions is an effective way to lower Ozone pollution, however, the primary source of the ozone pollution detected in the Coachella Valley emanates from the South Coast Air Basin and is blown into the Valley by prevailing winds (South Coast AQMD, 20)
AGENDA ITEM #10.10
City of Indio Sustainability Commission FY 23/24 Work Plan and Outreach ... Page 387 of 523 5 Framework
The commission considered outlines and information from several other sustainability and climate actions plans including the Los Angeles Green New Deal, Palm S prings Sustainability Plan and the Michigan Climate Action Plan A2Zero.
After careful consideration, the commission agreed on an outline that is very close to the Indio Climate Action Plan. This framework consists of five primary goals, which organize the Plan, however, many of the projects can achieve more than one goal. The five goals are:
1. Clean Energy
2. Low Greenhouse Gas Environment
3. Zero Waste
4. Water Resources
5. Sustainable Environment, Land Use and Transportation For each main goal, the Plan includes a chapter with information about objectives and projects. Accomplishments that the city has already made toward those goals is also included. Sustainability cannot be achieved through city efforts alone and there are many Indio residents who are involved in sustainability efforts by recycling, reducing waste and conserving water. In order to increase these efforts, the plan also includes information on what residents can do to support the five goals.

AGENDA ITEM #10.10
City of Indio Sustainability Commission FY 23/24 Work Plan and Outreach ... Page 395 of 523 13 Goal 4: Conserve Water Resources and Ensure a Sustainable Water Supply
Objectives:
Promote water use efficiency and conservation efforts through outreach and incentives.
Work with regional water agency agencies for consistent conservation messaging throughout the Coachella Valley.
Mandates:
SB606, AB1668 and SB 1157 Water Conservation and Drought Planning
SB606 and AB1668 was legislation passed in 2018 to make water conservation a way of life. The legislation requires the establishment of water use objectives and long-term water efficiency standards. Ultimately, each urban water supplier will be given a “water use objective” similar to a water budget, that is comprised of indoor residential water use, outdoor residential water use, commercial, industrial and institutional (CII) irrigation, water loss, variances and other unique local uses. It is the responsibility of the water supplier to develop and implement the necessary policies, programs and projects to ensure compliance with the water use objective within its service area.
The law initially sets the indoor residential standard to 55 gallons per capita per day.
Additional legislation passed in 2022 (i.e. SB 1157) will gradually reduce the indoor residential standard from 55 to 42 gallons starting on January 1, 2030. The State Water Board continues to conduct public stakeholder workshops at this time and estimates summer 2024 to be the timeframe for the water use objective to go into effect. Water suppliers will be required to complete annual reporting to demonstrate efforts and progress.
California Water Code Section 10632.1
The Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessment is a new State mandated report due on July 1, 2022 and every July 1
st thereafter. Water suppliers will be required to
submit regular reports to the Department of Water Resources (DWR) to provide estimates of any gap between water demand and actual supplies available each year.
The report will provide information to DWR with information for any anticipated shortage, triggered shortage response actions, compliance and enforcement actions and communication actions consistent with the supplier’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan.
AGENDA ITEM #10.10
City of Indio Sustainability Commission FY 23/24 Work Plan and Outreach ... Page 396 of 523 14 SB 555
Senate Bill 555, adopted in 2015 during the last drought, requires urban retail water suppliers to complete water loss audits focused on water systems. Efforts are currently underway by the State Water Board to develop water loss performance standards for urban retail water suppliers.
Possible Projects:
• Identify effective ways to promote water conservation, offer rebate incentives and conduct more strategic outreach.
• Explore recycling water project in partnership with the East Valley Reclamation Authority.
What residents can do:
• Remove turf and replace with drought tolerant landscaping (rebates are available).
• Replace indoor and outdoor appliances with water efficient toilets, clothes washers, and/or smart irrigation controllers (rebates are available). • Eliminate water waste (e.g. avoid excess water runoff to sidewalks and walkways)
• Fix indoor and outdoor leaks as soon as possible.
• Register to be a Dropcountr user. Dropcountr is a free online portal for customers to view their water usage, receive alerts, and pay bills online. • Visit the Indio Water Authority website (www.indiowater.org ) to learn about
current rebates and conservation tips.
Conserve Water Resources Accomplishments
• Secured grant funding to support conservation rebate programs. • Prepared and adopted the Water Shortage Contingency Plan, which outlines how the City of Indio will respond in the event of a water shortage.

Considering purchase of EV chargers for business community where “plumbing exists” if the chargers are publicly accessible and will be maintained by the facility.
6/13/2023 Update from final Application:
The City of Indio requests $1,510,577 in USDOT Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) funding for the Indio Community EV Charging Project. The City will provide a 20% local match of $377,644, for a total project cost of $1,888,222. The proposed project will add 18 Level 2 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, including two solar- powered Level 2 EV charging stations which will add 36 new charging ports in the Jewel Neighborhood and Downtown Indio. The proposed project will increase the number of publicly available charging ports within the City of Indio by 56.25%. The addition of 36 convenient, accessible charging ports will increase EV use, reduce fossil fuel use, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 328.6 short tons, and carbon monoxide by 2,810.90 pounds each year. The proposed EV charger locations have been selected to 1) bring electric vehicle charging infrastructure to underserved neighborhoods that are disproportionately affected by greenhouse gas emissions; 2) expand and fill gaps in the existing EV charging network; and 3) support regional efforts to implement zero emission transit along major thoroughfares in Coachella Valley.

City of Indio Sustainability Commission FY 23/24 Work Plan and Outreach ... Page 417 of 523 Membership to the U.S. Green Building Council (USGC) and Total Resource Use and Efficiency (TRUE) zero waste certification for commercial facilities using $110,000 AB939 funds to provide consultant support and reduce certification costs , 2022
BACKGROUND:
Waste regulations on commercial facilities have been increasing dramatically . SB 1383 is a sweeping regulation that requires commercial facilitie s to add recycling and organic waste increasing service costs. Indio commercial waste rates increase with the amount of waste so the more pick-ups a facility receives and the larger the bin sizes the higher the costs. Reducing waste can reduce efforts put towards waste management and may reduce the cost of waste services.
Zero waste is a goal listed in the Sustainability Plan and 2022 Annual Work Plan and z ero waste initiatives could support waste reduction in commercial facilities. “Zero Waste” does no t yet exist, however, there are programs that certify zero waste facilities that show an 80- 90 percent reduction in waste. In an effort to support the commercial facilities that now comply with many new waste regulations, the Sustainability Commission rec ommends offering a zero waste certification program to any Indio commercial facility at a reduced rate paid through the AB939 waste diversion funds.
The TRUE zero waste certification program is administered by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), which also administers the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification program. The USGBC gives this certification credibility and longevity. In addition, the TRUE certification is not waste management but material management that star ts upstream, includes operations and then looks downstream at recycling and composting options.
TRUE focuses on making the business case for zero waste. Certification requires a mix of policy and actions and achieve a 90 percent overall diversion from the landfill.
A lack of facility staff time could create a substantial barrier to certification, h owever, the USGBC maintains the having a TRUE Advisor is key to success in the program. The Commission supports a hybrid approach which includes hiring a cons ultant who is , or will become, a certified TRUE Advisor who will be available to work with facilities if requested, as well as support outreach. Facilities would be encouraged to have someone from the facility become a certified TRUE Advisor. The True Adviso r process includes online videos and a certification test.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS: The City collects AB939 funds that can be used to divert waste from landfills and includes waste reduction. This project would be funded from the City’s AB939 funds and would not affect the General Fund. The USGBC allows discounted rates for USGBC members and has allowed parent companies to become a member and then use that membership to certify satellite operations. Similarly, if the City becomes a member, the USGBC has offered to allow any of the city commercial facilities who participate to use member pricing under the City membership. In additi on, the USGBC has offered an additional 10 percent off the fees. Membership cost is $1,500 per year.
For participating facilities, the city funds would fund up to $950.00 for half of the registration fees and the costs for a TRUE Advisor certification, if the facility agrees to have someone at the facility certified. The facility would pay $600.The city consultant would also be available to support the facility efforts. When the facility is ready for certification, the city funding would pay up to the minimum cost. Facilities will pay for any costs above the minimum and any future

The Sustainability Commission Outreach Plan was approved as part of the 2022/23 Work Plan and scheduled to begin once the larger Sustainability Plan was complete.
CV Strategies attended a commission meeting to support the creation of the plan and talk about options and ideas. Many of those initial concepts have been incorporated as projects in this Outreach Plan, and others may be included in future plans. Projects that are fully funded will begin upon approval. All outreach materials produced will go through the proper approval process prior to being completed and released. Projects that are partially funded may move forward focusing on funded messaging.
The objectives of the Outreach Plan are:
• Educate on sustainability initiatives
• Educate about the sustainability commission
• Educate to engage stakeholders
• Educate about regulations including waste, stormwater and air quality
The overall goad of the Sustainability Outreach Plan is to support sustainability efforts of the City of Indio.

To: City Council
From: Bryan Montgomery, Executive Director
Prepared by: Kevin H. Snyder, Dir. Of Community Development Subject: Sign services proposal with Best Signs, Inc. for five (5) median signs inclusive of purchase, fabrication and installation at various locations throughout the City in the not to exceed amount of $161,174.38 and authorizing the use of funds from Capital Improvement Program ST2306 (Downtown Gateway Signs) for two signs outside of Downtown
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize a sign services proposal from Best Signs, Inc. for five (5) median signs inclusive of purchase, fabrication and installation at various locations throughout the City in the not to exceed amount of $161,174.38 and authorize the use of funds from Capital Improvement Program ST2306 (Downtown Gateway Signs) for two signs outside of Downtown
SUMMARY:
New median signs for installation at key points in the City to act as gateway entry features into the City and/or a portion of the City
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
As part of the City's on-going branding efforts, staff has been developing designs for different signage throughout the City. One of these efforts involves the installation of Indio branded "vertical" signs within medians at certain key locations in the City. These vertical branded signs will help act as gateway entry features into the City and/or a portion of the City and contribute to the overall visual aesthetic. Attachment 2 indicates the approximate locations of the median signs. These locations include two median signs on Oasis Street in downtown north of Highway 111 and south of Indio Boulevard, one median sign on Indio Boulevard east of the Jackson Street overpass, one median sign west of the Highway 111 and Monroe Street interchange and one median sign on Jackson Street north of its interchange with Interstate 10.
The signs will include a component that will allow for the specification of the area of the City that the sign is located in - e.g. Downtown.
Separately but related, the Public Works Department will be removing the existing median signs with the City's prior logo on Fred Waring Drive, Indio Boulevard and Jackson Street.
