members of Consultant’s profession commonly possess and exercise.

City retains the right, but has no obligation, to represent Consultant or be present at any deposition, hearing or similar proceeding. Consultant agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by Consultant.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall indemnify, protect, defend (with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to City) and hold harmless City and any and all of its elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, representatives and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, actions and proceedings (whether at law or equity, administrative or judicial), demands, orders, judgments, losses, injuries (including, without limitation, injury to or death of an employee of Consultant or subconsultants), liabilities of every kind (including, without limitation, incidental and consequential damages, court costs, and litigation expenses, and fees of expert consultants or expert witnesses incurred in connection therewith and cost of investigation), damages, costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees and costs, (collectively "Claims") that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any goods provided or performance of Services by Consultant, its officers, agents, employees, representatives, subconsultants, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or anyone that they control.

(b) INDEMNIFICATION FROM SUB-CONSULTANTS. Consultant agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth here in this section from each and every subconsultant, subcontractor or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of Consultant in the performance of this Agreement naming the Indemnified Parties as additional indemnitees.

Professional Services Agreement with Mark Garcia for Law Enforcement Con... Page 170 of 2161 IND-PSA rev20221214
Page | 9
such indemnity obligations from others as required here, Consultant agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms of this section. Failure of City to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend City as set forth herein is binding on the successors, assigns or heirs of Consultant and shall survive the termination of this Agreement and this section.
SECTION 17. INSURANCE.

Any attempted assignment shall be ineffective, null and void, and shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement entitling City to any and all remedies at law or in equity, including termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 20 “Termination of Agreement.” City acknowledges, however, that Consultant, in the performance of its duties pursuant to this Agreement, may utilize subconsultants.
If in the performance of its duties Consultant utilizes subconsultants or subcontractors, Consultant covenants that subcontracts, if any, shall contain a provision making subconsultants or subcontractors subject to all provisions stipulated in this Agreement, including without limitation, the insurance obligations set forth in Section 17 “Insurance.” The Consultant acknowledges and agrees that the City is an intended beneficiary of any work performed by any subconsultant or subcontractor for purposes of establishing a duty of care between any subconsultant or subcontractor and the City.

STAFF REPORT

Prepared by: Steven Graham Pacifico, City Attorney
Subject: Second Reading of Ordinance No. 1811, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Indio, California, Adding Chapter 133 to the Indio Municipal Code Related to Catalytic Converters
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance No. 1811, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Indio, California, Adding Chapter 133 to the Indio Municipal Code Related to Catalytic Converters
SUMMARY:
Catalytic converter thefts have been a significant issue in many parts of California, including Riverside County and the City of Indio. The main reasons behind this trend, and the challenges local jurisdictions face, include: Valuable Metals: Catalytic converters contain precious metals like platinum, palladium, and rhodium, which can fetch a high price when sold as scrap metal. As the prices of these metals have risen on global markets, so has the incentive to steal the devices. Easy to Remove: With the right equipment, thieves can quickly remove a catalytic converter from the underside of a vehicle, often in under a few minutes. This speed makes it challenging for law enforcement or witnesses to catch thieves in the act. Lack of Identification: Catalytic converters are not typically marked with a vehicle identification number (VIN) or another unique identifier, making them hard to trace back to a specific vehicle. This lack of traceability makes it difficult for law enforcement to prove a specific converter was stolen or to return recovered converters to their rightful owners. Resale Market: There's a thriving resale market for stolen catalytic converters, both domestically and internationally. Unscrupulous scrap metal dealers might not ask questions about the origins of the converters, making it easier for thieves to sell them. Limited Law Enforcement Ability: The rapid nature of the thefts and the challenges in tracking stolen converters further complicate enforcement efforts. Vehicle Vulnerability: Some vehicle models are more susceptible to catalytic converter theft due to their design. For instance, trucks and SUVs are often targeted because their higher clearance makes it easier for thieves to get underneath. Owners of these vehicles are, therefore, at a heightened risk. Public Awareness: While the issue has received attention, many vehicle owners might not be aware of the risk or the preventative measures they can take to protect their vehicles such as etching their catalytic converters to aid in identification. To combat this growing problem, the County of Riverside has adopted a new ordinance prohibiting the unlawful possession of catalytic converters. The purpose and intent of this ordinance is to curb the theft of catalytic converters throughout the County and to provide local law enforcement with reasonable means to address the impact on the community and the victims posed by increasing catalytic converter thefts. The City of Indio may consider adopting this ordering locally to ensure that there is uniformity of enforcement across jurisdictions.

Chapter 133
Unlawful Possession of a Catalytic Converter
133.010 Findings and Purpose.
133.020 Definitions.
133.030 Unlawful Possession of a Catalytic Converter.
133.040 Violation and Enforcement.
133.010 Findings and Purpose.
The City Council of Indio finds that the theft of catalytic converters has been an increasing problem in Indio in recent years. In Riverside County, there were at least 200 reports of catalytic converter thefts in 2022 and, as of July 1, 2023, there were at least 316 reports by victims. The external location of catalytic converters and the use of valuable precious metals, including rhodium, palladium and platinum, in catalytic converters makes these devices a target for thieves. Individuals in possession of stolen catalytic converters often recycle them for substantial profit, while victims of these thefts suffer the consequences of paying thousands of dollars in repairs, the inconvenience of repairing their vehicles, and feeling unsafe in the community.
Finding the victim of these crimes is extremely difficult due to the manner in which the catalytic converter thefts occur and lack of identifying markers on catalytic converters to link a stolen catalytic converter to the victim. The inability to identify the victims of catalytic converter thefts can inhibit the ability to successfully prosecute individuals for the thefts. This ordinance is necessary to provide the City, in conjunction with the County of Riverside and other surrounding cities, a means to protect the public, deter this criminal activity and promote a more productive use of Indio resources. The purpose and intent of this ordinance is to curb the theft of catalytic converters throughout the City and to provide the City with reasonable means to address the impact on the community and the victims posed by increasing catalytic converter thefts. 133.020 Definitions.
As used in this ordinance, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
(a) “Catalytic converter” means any exhaust emission control device, or portion thereof, that converts toxic gases and pollutants in exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine into less-toxic pollutants.
(b) “City” means the City of Indio.
(c) “Council” means the City Council of Indio.
(d) “Documentation or other proof” means written document(s) clearly identifying the vehicle from which the catalytic converter originated based on the totality of the circumstances, which includes, but is not limited to, the following types of documents:

1. Bill of sale from the original owner with photographs.
2. Verifiable documentation from an auto-body shop proving the owner relinquished the catalytic converter to the auto-body shop.
3. Verifiable electronic communication from the previous owner to the possessor relinquishing ownership of the catalytic converter.
4. Photographs of the vehicle from which the catalytic converter originated.
5. Vehicle registration associated with the catalytic converter containing an etched associated license plate number or vehicle identification number or driver’s license number of registered vehicle owner.
(e) Lawful Possession. This term includes: (1) being the lawful owner of the catalytic converter or (2) being in possession of the catalytic converter with the lawful owner's verifiable written consent.

STAFF REPORT
To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Kevin H. Snyder, Dir. Of Community Development Subject: Agreement for Professional Services with Dudek for Annexation Services for a not-to-exceed amount of $447,500 for Phase I Annexation Planning Services for the East Indio Employment Corridor
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Agreement for Professional Services with Dudek for a not-to-exceed amount of $447,500 for Phase I Annexation Planning Services for the East Indio Employment Corridor SUMMARY:
Professional Services Agreement with Dudek for the provision of certain annexation planning services to support a future application to Riverside LAFCO for the annexation of the Eastern Sphere for future development of employment oriented industrial corridor BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City Council adopted the General Plan 2040 on September 18, 2019. As part of this adoption, the City Council established different Spheres of Influence outside of the existing municipal limits.
California Government Code Section 56076 defines “Sphere of influence as meaning a plan for the probable physical boundaries and service area of a local agency, as determined by the Local Agency Formation Commission".
The General Plan 2040 identifies various subareas within and outside the current city limits. One of these subareas is called the Eastern Sphere. This area is at the extreme eastern edge of the City and is approximately 3,300 acres or approximately 5.19 miles in size. During the development of the General Plan 2040, this area was identified as one of the City's Sphere of Influences that could be annexed in the future, however, no pre-planning was done for this area in terms of establishing one or more General Plan land use designations and an an associated zoning district designation (s).
Currently, the City has approximately 519 acres of industrially zoned land in the City. This figure represents approximately 1.6 percent of the total number of parcels in the City and is less than one square mile (approximately 81 percent) of the 33 square miles comprising the City. significant portion of this land has already been consumed for businesses. Because of the limited industrial land supply in the City, the City's ability to attract employment generating manufacturing, light industrial and logistics oriented land uses is made more difficult. While there may be options to convert non-industrial land (e.g. commercial retail oriented land) to industrial zoned land, these instances are usually driven by private property owners and as such, there is uncertainty as to when and if this modification in zoning might occur.
AGENDA ITEM #8.9
Agreement for Professional Services with Dudek for Annexation Services f... Page 193 of 2161 As noted earlier, the Eastern Sphere is approximately 3,300 acres or approximately 5.19 miles in size.
This large area represents a significant opportunity for the City to create a significant industrially focused employment corridor in the City that may also be supported by on a limited basis higher density residential and commercial retail land uses. While the actual amount of area that could be available for an industrial oriented employment corridor will have to be determined through detailed analysis of land use, transportation and environmental constraints, there is a significant possibility that the Eastern Sphere could generate substantive local employment opportunities for Indio residents that would help diversify the City's economic base. This, in turn, could significantly reduce the outflow of Indio resident workers to other communities - estimated by the Coachella Valley Economic Partnership at approximately 83 percent of these workers - that would directly and positively benefit the City's revenue generation opportunities through increased sales tax generation, property tax generation and other forms of revenue generation include gasoline taxes.
The General Plan 2040 establishes goals and policies to support the long-term growth and diversification of the City's industrial land base to increase the balance of land uses within the City and to enhance the jobs to housing balance in the City. Below are excerpts from the General Plan 2040 that address these goals and policies:
Excerpts from Chapter 5 (Economic Development) of General Plan 2040:
The economic development element provides a set of goals, policies, and actions that are geared towards promoting sustainable, fair, and equitable economic growth in the City of Indio, diversifying the local economy, and improving overall quality of life. The economic strategies are intended to increase prosperity for Indio’s residents and businesses and stimulate economic investment in the community. Indio’s economic success depends on offering a variety of employment opportunities, maintaining and attracting high-quality residential projects and businesses, increasing tourism activity, promoting Indio’s image as a safe and desirable place. This Element includes goals and policies that support a dynamic economic foundation for Indio that is capable of adapting to the ever-changing needs of the modern economy and conditions in the Coachella Valley.
Goal ED-2: Employment Base. A growing employment base with a diversity of job opportunities for current and future residents.
Goal ED-3: Workforce Development. A City with a highly-educated, skilled, and adaptable workforce that is growing.
Goal ED-8: Jobs-Housing Balance. A City that grows with a balance of jobs and housingto meet the needs of current and future residents.
ED-2.1 Business Development Opportunities. Identify business development opportunities that will increase the number of professional and technical jobs as well as increase skill and wage levels. Emphasis should be placed on development opportunities that diversify the local economy.
ED-2.4 Industrial Growth. Support the retention and growth of the industrial and manufacturing sector and actively attract new industrial businesses.
ED-2.6 Attract Livable Wages. Continue to purse and attract companies and industries who offer livable wages and medical benefits for employees in Indio.
ED-3.1 Economic Development and Labor Pool Alignment. Align economic development efforts with the labor pool to increase the number of jobs filled by Indio residents.
Agreement for Professional Services with Dudek for Annexation Services f... Page 194 of 2161 Excerpts from Chapter 3 (Land Use and Urban Design) of General Plan 2040:
Goal LU-1: Citywide Urban Structure. An urban structure that enhances the quality of life of residents, meets the community’s vision for the future, and weaves new growth areas together with established Indio neighborhoods.
LU-1 Policies
LU-1.1 Overall city structure. Establish a clearly defined City structure by:
• Maintaining the I-10 Employment Corridor subarea as a critical economic engine for the City.
LU-2.2 Balanced land uses. Maintain a balanced land use pattern to support a broad range of housing choices, retail businesses, employment opportunities, educational and cultural institutions, entertainment spaces, and other supportive uses and within long-established Indio neighborhoods and new growth areas.
Goal LU-10. Workplace and Employment Districts. Employment-oriented districts provide space for industrial, manufacturing, office, and research and development in order to increase access to jobs and enhance the fiscal stability of the City.
LU-10 Policies
LU-10.1 Design of employment districts. Design Workplace and Employment Districts to be urban in character with compact buildings sited at or near front lot lines, provide a high percentage of lot coverage, and building facades and entrances directly facing the street.
Buildings should have a high degree of transparency and visibility. Parking lots and large setbacks shall not dominate the frontage of the Workplace and Employment Districts.
LU-10.2 Emerging industries. Support a diverse mix of light industrial, information, maker, and technology uses in order to provide jobs and tax revenues for the community by allowing emerging economic uses and industries within the Workplace and Employment designation.
Local Agency Formation Commissions (LAFCOs) are state-mandated regulatory agencies established by the Legislature in 1963. LAFCOs were created to help implement State policy of encouraging orderly growth and development through the regulation of local public agency boundaries. This daunting task requires each Commission to balance the development required for a growing population with the competing State interests of discouraging urban sprawl, preserving agricultural resources and open space and extending government services efficiently. Each of California’s 58 counties has a LAFCO, however, they are independent of county government.
Riverside LAFCO generally has jurisdiction over changes in boundaries of local agencies (cities and special districts) within Riverside County. LAFCO has both regulatory and planning functions. On the regulatory side, it carries out its legislative mandate through the consideration of proposals for boundary changes. Boundary change proposals are also known as “changes of organization”. When a proposal includes more than one change of organization, it is called a “reorganization”. These proposals can be initiated by petition of landowners or voters or adoption of a resolution by one or more affected agencies. The most common type of boundary change is an annexation (addition of territory) to a local agency, such as a city or a water district.
Agreement for Professional Services with Dudek for Annexation Services f... Page 195 of 2161 Riverside LAFCO requires the preparation and submittal of detailed information to support annexation requests. This information includes but is not limited to: a) Plan of Services: The Plan of Services is the keystone of the proposal. The Plan must identify in detail how and when services will be provided and funded. Section C includes the standards for preparation of such plans. Submit unbound copies only; b) Boundary Description and GIS Digital Data Submittal: With few exceptions, each proposal must include a metes and bounds legal description and associated map prepared to specific standards of LAFCO and the State Board of Equalization. Boundary descriptions must be reviewed and approved by the Riverside County Survey Division. Refer to Section D for specific boundary description standards and who may prepare them. Additionally, Riverside LAFCO is requiring the submission of GIS/ESRI shapefiles with applications that include a proposed boundary change. Refer to this section for specified GIS standards and requirements; c) CEQA COMPLIANCE: Commission actions are subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act. Section E describes the responsibility of the proponent/subject agency. Submit unbound copies only; and Fiscal Impact Report: For applications for annexation into a city, where the proposal has a land area greater than 100 acres, a fiscal analysis is required as part of the application. One unbound copy of the analysis must be submitted. Please see Section F for additional details about the required fiscal analysis.
To assist the City in preparing a comprehensive and successful annexation application, staff has identified Dudek to have the requisite qualifications, skills and experiences. In addition, Dudek has performed other services for the City including but not limited to preparation of the Housing Element Update, Consolidated Plan Update and Transformative Climate Communities Plan that have given it considerable knowledge and awareness of the City that will allow it to more efficiently developed required annexation application materials and effectively assist the City in obtaining needed LAFCO approval as well as build a strong vision and foundation for the long-term development of the East Indio Employment Corridor. Because of the amount of work required for this effort, staff has worked with Dudek to develop a phased scope of work over the next two fiscal years. The City Council will only be considering a professional services agreement for Phase I Annexation Planning Services that will start in the current fiscal year and continue through Fiscal Year 2024/2025. Staff anticipates presenting a separate scope of work and budget for needed Phase II as part of the Fiscal Year 2025/2026 budget approval process.

Agreement for Professional Services with Dudek for Annexation Services f... Page 198 of 2161 Planning and Consulting Services for the East Indio Employment Corridor Project, City of Indio A-2 Project Understanding/Approach
Dudek understands that the City of Indio (City) is interested in analyzing and annexing approximately 3,320 acres of unincorporated County of Riverside land into its city boundary. The potential annexed land includes the City’s existing sphere of influence known as the Eastern Sphere according to the City’s General Plan and will be referenced as the “Project Area”. The Project Area is largely passive open space, with a limited amount of existing commercial development and resource extraction. While no construction or other development is currently proposed by the City or private development with this annexation request, the City’s ultimate stated goal is to increase its economic base. Through this project, the City seeks to understand the potential land uses for the Project Area through a market analysis, environmental constraints analysis, and a series of planning activities.
A major component of this project includes strategic, early, and consistent engagement with interested parties (such as property owners, service providers, and business owners) as well as decision-makers. Understanding that this project entails long-range planning efforts, City staff and the project team understand that the project must consider the City’s changing needs and priorities. Community engagement must be thoughtful, meaningful, and effective in communicating stated goals and objectives.
Dudek's teaming partners for this effort include CV Strategies, Pro Forma Advisors, and Intersecting Metrics. Each partner brings a specific technical expertise that complements Dudek’s in-house capabilities in addition to local presence. For the purposes of this proposal, the term “project team” refers to Dudek and their teaming partners.
We understand that phasing the work will be critical due to the nature of the project. Dudek has organized the enclosed scope of work into two distinct phases that are structured around fiscal years as listed below:
x Phase 1 – Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025. During Phase 1, the project team will focus on understanding opportunities and constraints to developing the Project Area, as well as developing conceptual scenarios.
Engagement and coordination with a variety of interested parties, a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), Riverside Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), the public, and the City Council and Planning Commission will be integral to inform the project and support general buy-in. Phase 1 will conclude with a draft proposed concept that will be shared with the various bodies noted above and refined during Phase 2 (see below). Findings from Phase 1 will result in substantive information that will enable City Staff and decision-makers to make critical decisions to advance the project forward in Phase 2. x Phase 2 – Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2026. During Phase 2, the project team will refine and finalize the proposed concept based on input the various bodies notes in Phase 1. The project team will then develop the infrastructure plan to support the proposed concept, as well as the fiscal impact report. In addition, the project team will focus on filling out the LAFCO annexation/reorganization application and conducting the required CEQA analysis. The enclosed scope of work notes that there are two potential avenues for the CEQA document: 1) an Addendum to the General Plan EIR or 2) a Supplemental EIR also tiering from the General Plan EIR, which will be determined based on the findings from Phase 1. Ongoing engagement and coordination with various bodies will be integral to Phase 2 to continue to inform the project and support general buy-in that will in turn support the project approvals process.
The enclosed proposal includes a scope of work for the entire project (Phase 1 and Phase 2). Please note that a cost estimate is provided for Phase 1 only at this time because based on the results of the Phase 1 effort, there may be modifications necessary to the Phase 2 scope of work. Any refinements or revisions to the Phase 2 scope of work along
Agreement for Professional Services with Dudek for Annexation Services f... Page 199 of 2161 Planning and Consulting Services for the East Indio Employment Corridor Project, City of Indio A-3 with the associated budget for Phase 2 will be provided after the completion of Phase 1 and prior to the Fiscal Year 25/25 budget consideration process.
Phase 1 (FY 2024-2025)
Task 1 Project Management
Laurie Grover will serve as the day-to-day project manager (PM) and primary point of contact throughout the duration of the project. Dudek’s approach to project management includes clear and timely communication, managing adherence to the scope, keeping the progression of work on schedule, cost controls, and risk management. Dudek prides itself on integrating a fundamental focus on high-quality work and meeting both client and project goals and objectives.

Ms. Grover and key Dudek staff (such as technical staff), will lead bi-weekly half-hour (30 minutes) virtual meetings with City staff, to a maximum of 30 meetings for Phase 1 of the project, aligned with the City’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025. The meetings will ensure objectives and milestones are being achieved during this timeframe. For these meetings, Dudek will prepare agendas with input from City staff. Meeting minutes will be taken during meetings and provided to the project team with next steps and action items outlined for both Dudek and the City as needed.
In the event unanticipated complexities or new components arise resulting in the protraction of the schedule or need for additional solutions meetings, additional scope and fee would be negotiated. d^<ϭ͘Ϯ</<K&&D

Within thirty (30) days of the execution of the contract, Dudek will work with the City to schedule an in-person kickoff meeting and site visit. The purpose of the kickoff meeting is to align expectations, share aspirations, establish relationships, discuss existing information and information gaps, and set the outreach strategy up for success. The kickoff meeting will introduce key team members and clarify roles, lines of communication, and review processes as well as a review of the scope of work and the high-level schedule. The kickoff meeting will also include a discussion on data needs (See Task 1.3 Data Needs). Dudek will request all relevant information pertaining to the site at the kickoff meeting.
The kickoff meeting will also serve as a working meeting and will involve key City staff members including the Community Development Director, City Manager’s office, Public Works, and Economic Development staff and will help identify major milestones and project considerations. Dudek will prepare a meeting agenda and include any items requested by the City.

Task 2 Desktop Opportunities and Constraints Analysis
The purpose of Task 2 is to provide a high-level overview of the Project Area and identify baseline conditions, as well as key opportunities and constraints. The outcome of Task 2 will enable Dudek to distinguish key assets and potential issues early in the process, which in turn, will help inform the City of areas best suited for development.
The analysis will look at the environment from a holistic perspective, taking into consideration natural resources and infrastructure, for example. For natural resources, Dudek will examine map-based data focused on biological, archaeological, tribal, paleontological, mineral, hydrological, and geological constraints. From an infrastructure perspective, topics including roadways, water and wastewater utilities, and power will be analyzed.
The findings that emerge from this analysis will be summarized in a compiled report with identified opportunities and constraints for the City’s consideration. As part of the compiled report, Dudek will create overlay maps that can be combined to provide a “picture” of the areas that are best suited to development. This may emerge as the following:
x Development Areas “1” most easily developed with the least environmental and infrastructure constraints,
x Development Areas “2” can be developed but with some avoidance or mitigation required that increases the cost of development,
x Development Areas “3” only limited development can be supported due to natural resources or infrastructure costs or engineering constraints, and
x Areas to Avoid Development.
The goal is to provide a series of maps that enable the City to understand priority development areas, which will be further explored and developed in Task 4 Conceptual Scenarios. Maps developed and analysis conducted as

Dudek will conduct a biological constraints desktop analysis of the Project Area. The following databases will be reviewed and analyzed:
U.S. Geological Survey National Hydrography Dataset
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Wetlands Inventory Natural Resources Conservation Service Soils Data
California Natural Diversity Database Species Occurrence Data (i.e., 9-Quad Search) California Native Plant Society Rare Plant Inventory (i.e., 9-Quad Search) Elevation Range
USFWS Occurrence Data from the Carlsbad Field Office
USFWS Information for Planning and Consultation
Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP) CVMSHCP Vegetation Database
Dudek will review and compile this data as well as prepare potential-to-occur tables for special-status species and provide recommendations on additional studies that may be required. Potentially occurring vegetation communities and special-status biological resources will be described in terms of their regional significance and presence on site. All biological resources with potential to occur on site with any reasonable potential to constrain the project will be addressed in the report. Potential constraints will be discussed in the context of the CVMSHCP, such as if portions of the project are located within a designative CVMSHCP Conservation Area and include a discussion of potential impacts to sensitive vegetation communities and habitat for covered species. The Dudek Graphics team will prepare graphics that illustrate the location of the site and the potential constraints, based upon the desktop review.

Project Area Assessment
The Project Area Assessment will analyze the characteristics of the Project Area consistent with the findings from Task 2. This effort entails an inspection of its surrounding environs to identify physical characteristics, carrying capacity, and locational attributes. These attributes include infrastructure, access, circulation, visibility, surrounding land uses (existing and proposed), and the relationship of the subject area to the principal sources of demand for various land uses.
Market Analysis
Following the Project Area Assessment, a market assessment will be conducted to:
x Evaluate the general demographic and socioeconomic trends in the region to determine the character and composition of local demand and the environment within which the future land use would operate. At the base of these forecasts are economic and population forecasts by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG).
x Compare past forecasts to actual growth in the subject market area and the City of Indio to project the most accurate forecast for our analysis. The project team will also use data from its in-house software, GIS-based ESRI Business Analyst, for socioeconomic analysis. x Collect and report market data for land uses under consideration. This will include historic development, absorption, etc.
x Contact, as needed, local real estate brokers, developers, etc. and access both public and private market intelligence and data collected by data aggregators and vendors which will complement the interested parties’ meetings that will occur in Task 5.2 Interested Parties Meetings. x Incorporate any potential users discovered in the Economic Development Strategy (see Task 3.2 Economic Development Strategy).
Demand Analysis
Based on the market overview, the project team will estimate supportable space and development scale in context of the area under consideration. This estimate will incorporate the market assessment’s forecasted growth in contrast to planned and proposed development in the area. Growth will be converted to demand
Agreement for Professional Services with Dudek for Annexation Services f... Page 205 of 2161 Planning and Consulting Services for the East Indio Employment Corridor Project, City of Indio A-9 (supportable space), by land use, using contemporary and forecasted employment demand on a per square foot basis. Based on the supportable space analysis, we will propose a range of future demand for various land uses (low, mid, high). Taking into consideration risks, visibility issues, access, and other constraints, we will also provide a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis to assist with the evaluation of the preliminary and preferred concept scenarios in Task 4 Conceptual Scenarios. d^<ϯ͘Ϯ

Concurrent with the Market Analysis, the project team will review existing local and regional studies and adopted policies and plans related to economic development to understand how the local economy is interrelated with regional and State trends, opportunities, and constraints we conduct a base economic assessment (with national indicators included as relevant).
Base Economic Assessment
The Base Economic Assessment will include the following actions:
x Identify key economic conditions that will support a strong and diversified economy. x Identify existing and emerging industries (or industry clusters) in the City and the larger region. This will be based on industry trends and identifying geographic competitiveness, which will then be compared to the City’s economic profile with the region’s economic profile to highlight key similarities and differences. x Examine other indicators that measure the health of the City’s economy. These will include, but are not limited to, education, crime, etc.
x Discuss the subject area’s physical and locational characteristics and how they can be an asset for economic development in the City and larger region.
x Conduct a reverse site section analysis by researching site selection requirements of companies that are looking to relocate to the larger Coachella Valley market area. To the extent possible, several case studies of recent business relocations will be provided to better understand key criteria for companies moving to the region. A SWOT analysis will be conducted for compare the site area’s overall opportunity to attract targeted relocation candidates (by industry type, as applicable). d^<ϯ͘ϯ&/^>/DWd

Under Task 4.1, the project team will develop up to three (3) preliminary scenario concepts that build upon the compiled mapping developed in Task 2 to further refine priority development areas and identify additional detail.
Each scenario will be conceptually illustrated and shaped by a distinctive “big idea” to allow for easy comparative evaluation. As part of this task, Dudek will work with City staff to identify high-level project goals and objectives related to the opportunities and contraints identified in Tasks 2 and 3. From these goals, Dudek will identify potential evaluation criteria that will be used to prioritize the preliminary scenario concepts and ultimately help shape the Proposed Concept identified through Task 4.2.
Fundamental components of each scenario will include an identifcation of the Project Area boundary and patterns of land use. In addition, for each preliminary scenario concept, the project team will analyze the high-level transportation related needs, environmental constraints, market constraints, known infrastructure or utility provider constraints, and desired land use goals of the City. The analysis will include the following:
x Environmentally Sensitive Areas
x Vehicular Trip Generation
x VMT Generation (High Level Estimate)
x Internal Land Use Connectivity
x Potential Internal Trip Capture
x Trip Distribution / Assignment
x Anticipated Strain on Existing Roadway Operations
x Market Demand, determined in Task 3.1 Market Analysis x Emergency Response Access
x High Level Infrastructure Improvement Needs, determined in part based on discussions with Service and Utility Providers as part of Task 5.2 Interested Parties Meetings. x High Level, Order of Magnitude Costs (e.g. High, Medium, Low) It is assumed that this analysis will be conducted at a high level and will be predominantly used to assist with the evaluation of the preliminary scenario concepts and support decision-making.

Upon receiving feedback on the up to three (3) preferred concepts, the project team will conduct additional targeted analyses to further narrow down the preferred concepts and arrive at a proposed concept. With an understanding that costs associated with new infrastructure and services to support the identified land uses will be crticial to the decision-making process, the project team will develop estimated future buildouts associated with the up to three (3) preferred concepts and refine the high level infrastructure needs and associated high level, order of magnitude costs developed in Task 4.1 to support the selection process.
With regards to transportation infrastructure, the project team will document what will need to be improved or developed within and adjacent to the Project Area. Transportation related infrastructure may include, but is not limited to, improvements to existing roadways, new roadway connections, intersection improvements, bicycle, and pedestrian improvements, and potential transit service expansion/improvements. Findings from this additional targeted analyses will help inform the proposed concept and support the public, stakeholders, and decisionmakers with providing input on the preferred concepts as part of Task 5 Strategy, Outreach and Engagement.
In addition, working with the City and applicable water utility agencies as part of Task 5 Strategy, Outreach and Engagement, Dudek will identify backbone infrastructure and service improvements to support future development with respect to location, timing, and costs. With regards to dry utilities, Dudek will work with utility providers (SCE, The Gas Company, Verizon, Time Warner) to understand points of connection and what level of improvements may be required during Task 5.2 Interested Parties Meetings.
Task 4.2 will conclude with a single proposed concept and associated future buildout which will enable the project team to further analyze required infrastructure and services cost and timing to support the identified land uses in Task 6 Infrastructure Plan.

As further outlined in the Strategy, Outreach and Engagement Public Plan (Task 5.1), Dudek will attend and facilitate meetings with three (3) types of interested parties: 1) property owners/tenants within the Project Area, 2) service and utility providers, and 3) other public agencies/jurisdictions. Outreach to relevant tribal nations is covered under Task 5.6 Tribal Outreach. Meetings with industry experts, including local real estate brokers, developers, etc. will occur as needed as part of Task 3.1 Market Analysis.
Property Owners/Tenants
Regarding the property owners/tenants, Dudek will facilitate up to five (5) virtual meetings with identified parties with the intent to provide an overview of the proposed annexation intent and to collect contact information for future targeted communication. Future communication would be geared toward soliciting input via surveys, public workshops, and other public forums.
Service and Utility Providers
Similarly, Dudek will facilitate up to twenty (20) virtual meetings with service and utility providers (see list below) to discuss coverage, capacity, as well as operational or maintenance challenges for the Project Area in addition to existing or proposed plans. Dudek proposes the following structure:
Meeting 1, with each provider, conducted in Phase 1, will serve as an introduction to the proposed project and an opportunity to understand existing and future service provider plans. Coordination from these initial conversations will influence Task 2.5 Public Services and Utilities Opportunities and Constraints Analysis findings. During these initial conversations, the project team will also seek to understand level of service thresholds from each provider to inform the planning process outlined in Task 4 Conceptual Scenarios.
Agreement for Professional Services with Dudek for Annexation Services f... Page 209 of 2161 Planning and Consulting Services for the East Indio Employment Corridor Project, City of Indio A-13 Meeting 2 with each provider, conducted in Phase 1, would discuss the preferred concepts and associated estimated future buildouts outlined Task 4 Conceptual Scenarios. High level infrastructure needs associated with each concept will be discussed and refined with each provider, which will influence the high level, order of magnitude costs identified in Task 4 Conceptual Scenarios. Meeting 3, with each provider, which will be held in Phase 2, would discuss the proposed services and facilities to the level of service required to support the estimated future buildout/projected needs of the proposed concept, aligned with the timing of Task 6 Infrastructure Plan. In addition, construction of new facilities or upgrading of existing facilities will also be discussed, as well as potential timing and cost.

The project team will work collaboratively with the City and County staff to identify key data sources for the model and define the methodology to be used in the fiscal impact model. Pursuant to the Riverside LAFCO annexation/reorganization application requirements, a Fiscal Impact Report (FIR) will be prepared. The objective of our collaborative approach is to ensure that the City and County staff is familiar and comfortable with the sources required to drive the fiscal impact model and the methodology embedded in the model.
According to the LAFCO application, the FIR is needed to assess the impact on the affected agencies under two scenarios. First, a fiscal analysis of the annexation area as if it were to remain unincorporated. This FIR includes the net cost of all services provided by the County (both countywide and municipal services) through build-out.
Second, the FIR will determine the net cost of those County services assuming the planning area is annexed to the City associated with Task 4.2 Proposed Concept, as discussed in the Phase 1 scope of work. The impact of the annexation itself is the difference between these two scenarios. The detailed steps that we plan to follow in our work plan are described in the following section.
Project Orientation and Budget Data Collection
x Collect economic studies and recent fiscal analysis (if any) for review. x Collect the most recent County and City budgets and tax data applicable to the analysis, including:
o Property tax distribution and applicable pre-existing agreements (tax rate area and ĚŝƐƚƌŝďƵƚŝŽŶͿ o Special tax rates and distribution factors (sales/use, utility users, etc.) o Any existing special fees including infrastructure, development mitigation, etc. o Existing special assessments
Interview Departments and Agencies
Based on our experience, we understand that fiscal analysis rarely follows a “one size fits all” approach, even in areas that follow similar regulatory frameworks and broad fiscal policies. It is important to understand the functions, responsibilities, and cost allocation methods of each major service providing department. The project team will conduct the following actions as part Task 5.2 Interested Parties Meetings – Service and Utility Providers and Task 5.3 Technical Advisory Committee:
x Interview key service providing departments, as needed, such as Police, Fire, Maintenance Services, Parks and Recreation, and others as applicable.
x Consult with the City and County’s Finance department to understand fixed and variable costs to derive “net costs” that need to be covered by discretionary revenues.
Agreement for Professional Services with Dudek for Annexation Services f... Page 216 of 2161 Planning and Consulting Services for the East Indio Employment Corridor Project, City of Indio A-20 x Interview any other relevant agencies to understand specific development related issues that may affect the analysis.
Collect Current and Proposed Land Use Information
x Collect relevant real estate market information to estimate reasonable build out timing by land use. x Utilize the current land use inventory in the base (existing land use or no change) and annex alternatives to illustrate buildout conditions to derive the net incremental change for the planning scenarios.
Consolidate Cost and Revenue Drivers
x Estimate increment in population, dwelling units, and employment by land use and developed acreage in the County and City.
x Estimate major service demand distribution by land use type (fire, public safety, etc.) x Collect relevant real estate market information to develop a matrix of land values by type of use. x Estimate values of other revenue sources based on current pro rata share of population, employment, dwelling units, “Equivalent” dwelling units, lane miles, park acres or developed acreage as applicable. x Estimate expenditure volumes based on pro rata share of population, employment, and dwelling units under each planning scenario.
Prepare Special Models for Selected Cost and Revenue Items Although we will project most of the cost and revenue items using a series of “demand drivers” and pro-rata shares as described above, a number of key line items will be calculated by developing special models. For illustrative purposes, these would include (as applicable):
x Property Taxes – Develop a property tax revenue calculation model that takes into account:
x Proposition 13 limitations
x Appreciation and turnover rates
x Sales Taxes – Typically allocate taxable sales growth to growth in retail market segments in the market area, as opposed to merely allocating a value to each retail parcel. This methodology accounts for market conditions, competitive environment, potential recapture of leakage, and “cannibalization” of existing retail development, and paints a clearer picture in terms of “net” impacts. The potential capture of retail expenditures under each scenario will vary depending upon variety of retail capacity. x Fire Services – Since fire costs are typically “stair-stepped” depending on existing service capacity, and future incremental station needs, these will be calculated separately based on our discussions with the respective Fire departments that may provide future service to the planning area. x Others as applicable.
Model Net Fiscal Impacts
Agreement for Professional Services with Dudek for Annexation Services f... Page 217 of 2161 Planning and Consulting Services for the East Indio Employment Corridor Project, City of Indio A-21 The project team will configure the fiscal impact model to reflect the relevant General Fund structure, revenue sources, land use information, existing level of service, and associated municipal costs for the City and County.
The fiscal impact model will be used to calculate incremental fiscal costs and revenues under both planning scenarios. The model will be the basis of the FIR that will be delivered in connection with the County’s LAFCO application.
Deliverables/Assumptions:
Draft and Final Fiscal Impact Report (word document). Dudek assumes one (1) level of review of the Draft Fiscal Impact Report (word document).

Service and Utility Providers
Similarly, Dudek will facilitate up to ten (10) virtual meetings with service and utility providers (see list below) to discuss coverage, capacity, as well as operational or maintenance challenges for the Project Area in addition to existing or proposed plans. Dudek proposes the following structure:
Meeting 1 with each provider, conducted in Phase 1, will serve as an introduction to the proposed project and an opportunity to understand existing and future service provider plans. Coordination from these initial conversations will influence Task 2.5 Public Services and Utilities findings. During these initial conversations, the project team will also seek to understand level of service thresholds from each provider to inform the planning process outlined in Task 4 Conceptual Scenarios. Meeting 2 with each provider, conducted in Phase 1, would discuss the preferred concepts, and associated estimated future buildouts outlined Task 4 Conceptual Scenarios. High level infrastructure needs associated with each concept will be discussed and refined with each provider, which will influence the high level, order of magnitude costs identified in Task 4 Conceptual Scenarios. Meeting 3 with each provider, conducted in Phase 2, would discuss the proposed services and facilities to the level of service required to support the estimated future buildout/projected needs of the proposed
Agreement for Professional Services with Dudek for Annexation Services f... Page 218 of 2161 Planning and Consulting Services for the East Indio Employment Corridor Project, City of Indio A-22 concept, aligned with the timing of Task 6 Infrastructure Plan. In addition, construction of new facilities or upgrading of existing facilities will also be discussed, as well as potential timing and cost. Budget associated with facilitating the third set of meetings with service and utility providers is included in the Phase 2 cost estimate (not included in this proposal).
Service provider meetings could include the following entities:
1. Coachella Valley Water Authority (Water Supply)
2. Indio Water Authority (Water Supply)

Dudek proposes a Technical Advisory Group (TAC) to supplement the other external outreach efforts described within this task. A TAC comprised of the City’s internal departments and agencies (including the City Manager’s office, Community Development, Public Works, Community Services, Parks & Recreation, Finance, Economic Development, City of Indio Police Services, Indio Fire Department, etc.) will convene up to two (2) times virtually during Phase 2 to discuss the Project Area and proposed infrastructure and long range planning efforts as it relates to the Project Area. Up to two (2) TAC meetings are assumed to occur in Phase 1 of the project.
Each meeting will be one-hour (60 minutes) in duration. In Phase 2, The TAC will provide strategic feedback related to the Proposed Concept associated with Task 4 Conceptual Scenarios as well as fiscal and infrastructure needs associated with Task 3.3 Fiscal Impact and Task 6 Infrastructure. Dudek staff will facilitate each meeting, attend virtually, provide agendas, and meeting summaries. Prior to each meeting, the Dudek Project Manager will work with City staff to outline the appropriate discussion topics. Potential topics can include a discussion around planned infrastructure improvements and programs, as well as economic development/financing, among others. d^<ϱ͘ϰKDDhE/dz

Dudek will support the City in hosting up to two (2) in-person or virtual public meetings to inform residents, property owners, business owners, and other interested parties of the overall annexation process. Public meetings are a key task in the annexation process to build trust with the community, demonstrate transparency in governance, garner feedback on the process, and help provide a smoother transition in the annexation process.
One (1) in-person or virtual public meeting is assumed for Phase 1 to enable a total of up to three (3) meetings for the overall process.
Agreement for Professional Services with Dudek for Annexation Services f... Page 219 of 2161 Planning and Consulting Services for the East Indio Employment Corridor Project, City of Indio A-23 The project team will work with the City staff to develop appropriate workshop formats for the public meetings. The workshops could include and an informational presentation, open house with informal discussions, or other formats to be discussed with the City, assumed to be held throughout Task 4 Conceptual Scenarios and Task 6 Infrastructure Plan. Dudek will support the development of presentations and public outreach materials in coordination with City staff to communicate the project’s need, timeline, ways to provide input, and other relevant information.
To increase public awareness of this effort, Dudek will also create and distribute a mailer to addresses within a 100 ft. buffer or more of the Project Area for each workshop. The mailer will provide information about the project, timeline, and contact information. Dudek will provide light refreshments and up to four (4) outreach boards per event, if in person.

Dudek understands that for a clear and effective annexation process, early and often interaction with Riverside LAFCO is necessary. Building off the interaction and relationship-building established in prior reorganization efforts, during Phase 2, Dudek will facilitate up to two (2) one-hour (60 minutes), virtual working meetings with LAFCO staff aligned with key milestones in the project. At least one (1) of the meetings will be used to discuss the plan of services and fiscal impact, in addition to a focused meeting on the application itself. During one (1) of the meetings, a taxation agreement will be discussed, as needed, as this is required prior to the issuance of a certificate of filing by the LAFCO executive officer. Based on best practice, annexation attempts can oftentimes fail if the affected city and county cannot reach agreement on a property tax split. Having this discussion early may help set the stage for future agreement and is highly recommended. A property tax exchange agreement could be explored as part of this pre-application discussion. Dudek suggests that this meeting take place either before or concurrent to CEQA preparation.
The goal of these meetings is to inform LAFCO staff of the City’s intent to study and potentially annex the Project Area, and to ensure that the most appropriate engagement tactics are employed for the entirety of the process.
For these meetings, Dudek will work with City staff to identify specific questions to discuss with LAFCO staff.

To support the Phase 2 strategy, outreach, and engagement process, Dudek will continue to provide supportive engagement materials in the form of surveys, website content, social media support, and other project collateral such as FAQs and project Fact Sheets. If desired, Dudek prepare a second short (10 questions or less) electronic survey using SurveyMonkey that will solicit additional project feedback and collect relevant contact information.
Dudek will work with the project team and City staff to maintain the interested parties and project database.
Additionally, Dudek will provide clear and consistent project messaging and content for the City to host a newly created project website that will be maintained in Phase 2. The project website will include information on the LAFCO annexation process, affected Project Area, brief description of the project’s intent, opportunities for engagement, and contact information.

Task 6 Infrastructure Plan
Understanding that Section C Plan of Services is central to Riverside LAFCO annexation application, Dudek will identify the proposed services and infrastructure associated with the Proposed Concept (Task 4.2) and the associated future build out, including how and when they will be provided and funded.
We recognize that the proposed land uses will require a wide variety of infrastructure to be developed both at the micro and macro level to address how the proposed land uses will both import and export water, wastewater, and energy, for example. Considerations for local roads and general mobility will be provided, inclusive of active transportation. In addition, the wet utilities for water, wastewater, and drainage as well as dry utilities, including broadband and telecommunications will be addressed. Lastly, public services will be addressed to ensure that critical services to support the Project Area will be provided.
Work completed under Task 6 will be used to generate content for Section C Plan of Services as part of Task 8 LAFCO Application.
Wet and Dry Utilities
Planning level cost estimates will be refined in Task 6 to further refine the order of magnitude costs for the necessary infrastructure, which were initially developed in Task 4.2 in Phase 1. In addition, the infrastructure section will address phasing and capacities of proposed infrastructure build out for the appropriate systems including storm drainage, sanitary sewer, and water, gas, electric, and telecommunications.
It is assumed that the detailed area studies, hydraulic or other types of system models, and inventories will not be required to arrive at recommendations for standard development guidelines, and that suggestion for large facility infrastructure improvements will be based on recommendations from the respective agencies.
Transportation
Agreement for Professional Services with Dudek for Annexation Services f... Page 221 of 2161 Planning and Consulting Services for the East Indio Employment Corridor Project, City of Indio A-25 The project team will develop a description of each transportation improvement associated with the Proposed Concept. The description will include the type and location of the improvement, a refined planning level cost estimate, and how the improvement will be funded. Additionally, the project team will work with both Riverside County and the City of Indio to identify their respective roadway maintenance programs, how roadway maintenance is funded within each jurisdiction, and if either city maintains a roadway condition inventory system, as outlined in Section C of the Riverside LAFCO annexation application. In addition, the project team will develop illustrative maps to identify future transportation networks within and adjacent to the project site.
Services
Dudek will identify required services, including police, fire, parks and recreation, library, solid waste collection, street maintenance, lighting, landscaping, street sweeping, and other pertinent service-related items associated with the Proposed Concept. As outlined in Section C of the Riverside LAFCO application, future services will need to be identified relative to location, timing, costs, and funding source.
Deliverables/Assumptions

Task 7 Project Approvals
d^<ϳ͘ϭ^dhz^
^^/KE^
With one of the primary objectives of this project being to engage decision-makers early and often in order to showcase long-range, City-focused priorities and viability, Dudek recommends hosting up to three (3) City Council study sessions, in addition to the public hearings as discussed in Task 7 Project Approvals. We envision the study sessions to be educational in nature, and focused on providing the City Council with an opportunity to weigh in on the process prior to the formal approvals process as discussed in Task 7.3 Public Hearings as follows:
Study Session #1: During Phase 1, focus on providing a project introduction and presentation of findings from Task 2 Desktop Opportunities and Constraints Analysis and Task 3.1 Market Analysis and Task 3.2 Economic Development Strategy. At this study session, Dudek and City staff would seek feedback on the analyses and discuss future considerations for the conceptual scenarios that will be developed as part of Task 4 Conceptual Scenarios.
Study Session #2: During Phase 1, focus on presenting the up to three (3) preferred scenario concepts developed as part of Task 4 Conceptual Scenarios and feedback to date, including the Technical Advisory Committee (Task 5.3) and the public (Task 5.4). During this session, City Council will be invited to provide feedback and direction on what will become the proposed concept, as described in Task 4.2 Proposed Concept.
Study Session #3: During Phase 2, focus on providing an overview of the findings from the infrastructure plan (Task 6) and financing options as determined in Task 3.3. Feedback from the City Council will be considered and addressed in the Infrastructure Plan and Fiscal Impact Report.

Dudek will lead the effort to compile all required elements of the Riverside LAFCO Annexation Application (Microsoft Word – 1. APP COVER – RIVERSIDE LAFCO.doc). The Riverside LAFCO application identifies ten (10) sections (A through J) that must be completed and submitted to LAFCO. The following outlines each required section, a brief description of the requirement and Dudek’s approach for compiling and/or developing all relevant elements.
Section A Initiation— A Resolution of Application by the City of Indio requesting the Riverside Local Agency Formation Commission to take proceedings for the change of organization. x The required Resolution will be collected as part of Task 7.2 General Plan Amendment and Pre-Zoning.
Section B Application Form—A brief LAFCO application form that identifies basic project information, including contact information, existing and pre-zoning, existing and proposed land use, etc. x Dudek will prepare Section B Application Form. It is assumed that one (1) round of review will take place with the City.
Section C Plan of Service – Each proposal for a change of organization must be accompanied by a Plan of Services. The Plan of Services identifies existing and planned services and improvements for the change of organization.
x Dudek will build off the previous tasks and will further detail the plans of services, as needed. At a minimum, the Plan will include the type, range, timing, and financing of planned services and improvements, including requirements for infrastructure or other public facilities. Dudek will coordinate with City staff to obtain information and will compile a Plan of Services (and associated mapping) accordingly.
Section D Project Boundary Description – LAFCO requires a sound boundary description that is acceptable to the surveying profession.
Agreement for Professional Services with Dudek for Annexation Services f... Page 224 of 2161 Planning and Consulting Services for the East Indio Employment Corridor Project, City of Indio A-28 x Dudek assumes that the City’s on-call surveyor will provide these services in response to Riverside LAFCO’s Section D and coordinate directly with the City and LAFCO. Dudek will provide a high-level review of the application materials prior to LAFCO submittal.
Section E CEQA Compliance – LAFCO requires an applicant to demonstrate compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
x See Task 9 Compliance with California Environmental Quality Act.
Section F Fiscal Impact Report – A Fiscal Impact Report must be prepared for annexation projects that exceed 100 acres in size. Content for Section F will be obtained from work complete under Task 3.3 Fiscal Impact.
Section G Illustrative Maps – Section G provides guidelines for illustrations that must accompany the application. x Dudek’s GIS team will prepare Assessor maps and other appropriate Exhibits as detailed in the Riverside LAFCO Application package, or through coordination with LAFCO staff. At a minimum, Dudek will prepare the following maps:
o Exhibit(s) Showing Existing and Proposed Services: Exhibit should show existing service facilities (i.e.: water lines, sewer lines, parks etc.) locations and any proposed facilities in the vicinity.

Dudek assumes that the City (and/or outside consultants) will be responsible for providing materials associated with Section A, Section D, Section H, and Section J as outlined above. The City will provide Dudek with the appropriate electronic or printed materials (excluding the fees associated with Section H) to include in the electronic submittal package. d^<ϴ͘Ϯ WW>/d/KE&/>/E'E>&KZ

Dudek will be responsible for electronically compiling the City’s application for filing, and assumes that the City of Indio will be filing the physical application in person. As part of this task, Dudek will compile all required application materials and prepare an electronic package for the City’s review. Assuming that there are no major substantive changes at this point in the process, Dudek will review and respond to one (1) round of review of the City’s edits and prepare a final and digitized application package. Leading up to this, Dudek will prepare and continually update a working checklist/tracking sheet of all Riverside LAFCO Annexation Application requirements to ensure that filing is conducted in a thorough, comprehensive, and timing manner.
Deliverables/Assumptions:
Up to four (4) one-hour coordination meeting with the City to compile all files electronically for submittal.
Dudek assumes that all application materials will be printed and compiled by the City for physical submittal to LAFCO.
The City will be responsible for all application, filing, and protest (if applicable) fees as described in the most current Riverside LAFCO application process. See Section H, Fees (https://lafco.org/wp-content/uploads/documents/application-materials/APPLICATION_PACKETCOMPLETE_1pdf) for the most recent fees as of January 2023. This scope does not include resources to support the protest process should the city’s application be denied for whatever reason. Should a protest take place, the City would have the option to augment Dudek’s existing contract, in good faith.
Task 9 Compliance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Dudek understands that the Project Area is largely passive open space with a limited amount of existing commercial development and resource extraction. As part of the Project, a land use and zoning designation would be proposed. Some of the subarea is covered by the CVMSHCP. Further, Dudek understands that there is no actual development proposed at this time, rather, the project would only consider the potential change of land use and zoning that will support the potential for subsequent development proposals that may require additional CEQA review. There are two potential avenues for the CEQA document: 1) an Addendum to the General Plan EIR or 2) a Supplemental EIR also tiering from the General Plan EIR. If the Project would not result in in any new,

An Addendum is not publicly circulated but would need to be adopted by the City Council in a public hearing. We anticipate about 6 months to prepare the technical studies, draft the Addendum, and complete the City’s review process for the Addendum.
However, if the results of Tasks 2 through 7 present any new, potentially significant impacts or an increase in the severity of potentially significant impacts previously identified in the certified 2019 General Plan EIR, Dudek will provide a separate scope of services to complete a Supplemental EIR. A Supplemental EIR would take about one year to complete and entails a 45-day public review process. A Supplemental EIR is expected to also cost about twice what the Addendum for this project would cost.

STA NDARDS FOR PREPA RATION OFAPLA OF SE RVICES
Each proposal for a change of organization or reorganization must be accompanied by a Plan of Services. The Plan of Services is the central document of the proposal. It is the basis for the staff and commission evaluation as to 1) the ability of the agency to provide services in a costeffective manner and 2) the benefit to be received by the area relative to alternative courses of action.
Plans of Services should be prepared based on the ultimate expected land uses in the affected area. A statement that an area is currently undeveloped and, therefore, will not require the extension of any services is not sufficient. Specific phasing assumptions should be utilized as the basis for the planned extension of services. The Plan of Service must include all of the following:
1 Furnish a map of the affected area and adjacent areas, depicting the applicable zoning/pre—zoning and other specific development approvals.
2. For each service to be extended to the area, the following information must be included A. A brief description of the level of service/ facilities currently available to the area through the current service provider. The description should include the location from which services are provided and the cost to residents/property owners for that service. (Also see illustrative map requirements.) B A comprehensive description of the level of service/facilities proposed to be provided, including the location from which services will be provided. (Also see illustrative map requirements.)
C. Whether construction of new facilities or upgrading of existing facilities will be required and whether additional personnel will be needed to extend the service. (Also see illustrative map requirements.)
D. An indication of when service willlikely be extended to the affected territory E Information with respect to the cost of each service/facility and the suf?ciency of revenues to cover those costs. Will the area be subject to any existing or new general taxes, special taxes, assessments or charges? If so, what is the amount?
3. Any special requirements, restrictions or exceptions regarding property use or improvements, e.g., sunset or grandfather provisions concerning animal keeping, requirement for sewers, etc.
4. For any proposal that would require retail water service, provide information regarding the timely availability of water supplies sufficient to meet projected needs, including this proposal. The water purveyor must supply this information. Pursuant to Cortese-KnoxHertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act, the information should be provided as specified in Government Code Section 65352.5.
5 The Plan of Services must be signed and dated by the executive officer (city manager, district manager) of the subject agency.

PLAN OF SERVICES CHECKLIST
Provided is a checklist of information to be included in the narrative for plans of services. The purpose of the plan of services is to describe the service demand to be generated within the affected area once it is fully developed based on zoning/pre—zoning and indicate how that demand will be met. Generally, this plan of services matrix is applicable to city proposals. For special districts, only those services provided by the agency apply. Please keep in mind each proposal is unique. In some cases, staff might request additional information. Conversely, in some cases, some information might not be available or required. Please consult with LAFCO staff prior to submittal.

AFCO BOU DA YDESCR PT ON& AP EQUIRE ENTS
BOUNDARY DESCRIPT 0N STANDARDS
LAFCO requires a sound boundary description that is acceptable to the surveying profession.
Requirements and the desired format are summarized below. Attached is a copy of the standards for Geographic Descriptions and Maps from the State Board of Equalization (SBE). These standards must be adhered to in your preparation of written boundary descriptions and maps for the proposal.
WHO CAN PREPARE: Boundary descriptions and supporting maps may be prepared by any person or firm which holds a current and valid State of California license as a Registered Surveyor or Registered Civil Engineer (with a number 33965 or lower).
BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION & MAP REVIEW: Boundary descriptions and supporting maps must be reviewed for form, content and accuracy. Prior to preparation please contact Crystal Craig at (951) 369-0631 if the engineer or surveyor has not previously prepared a boundary description for LAFCO.
All descriptions require review by the County Surveyor. The Surveyor Division has "Deposit-based Fees" for the costs of reviewing the descriptions. An initial deposit of $1,000, unless othenNise specified, is required from the applicant at the time of the LAFCO application submittal to initiate review of the boundary description and supporting maps. The check is made payable to “County of Riverside.” The Agreement for Payment of Costs is included in this section. Firms will work directly with the Surveyor’s Division in the checking process, usually via email.
GENERAL: Allcontiguous boundaries should match existing City, District or Sphere of Influence (SOI) boundary descriptions whenever possible. LAFCO staff willprovide information on existing boundaries.
Boundaries should include all territory out to the street centerlines unless otherwise instructed by LAFCO staff. Boundaries must follow existing lines of assessment and may not cut parcels.
FORMAT: The following elements shall be used:
1) Title
2) Caption
3) Township, Range and Section
4) P03, POC, TPOB starts at a known geographic location 5) Courses numbered in a consistent clockwise direction 6) Metes and Bounds
7) Area (acreage or square miles)
8) APN numbers
9) Signature & Seal
The caption, the statement of the point of beginning and the metes & bounds description should be separate, single spaced sentences, separated by double spacing.
TITLE: Should be centered, top of first page only.
a Exhibit “A" for both boundary description and Map. Additional exhibits may be used depending upon the actions being taken.
b LAFCO Number (willbe assigned by LAFCO staff).

POINT OF BEGINNING
POINT OF COMMENCEMENT
TRUE POINTOF BEGINNING
Boundary Description & Map Requirements
CAPTION: This cites general location.
Example: Being a division of a portion of parcel x of parcel map xxxxx as shown by map on ?le in book xxx, pages xx-xx, of parcel maps...lying in a portion of Section x, TXS, RXW, S.B.M. or Rancho when applicable.
POB, POC & TPOB: The boundary description shall start at a point of centerline intersection, a section corner, or one-quarter section corner. If this point is on the boundary of a parcel to be described, it shall be the (PCB). Ifthe above point is not on said boundary, then it must be the (P00). A course, or courses, must then be described to arrive at a point on said parcel boundary, this shall be the (TPOB).
METES 8. BOUNDS: Describe the annexation boundary by metes and bounds. If full course data is not available use calls to adjoiners. Use to and along and double calls wherever possible.
AREA: State area (in acreage) enclosed within boundaries of the annexation.
WET SIGNATURE & SEAL: The map must be signed and stamped by either a licensed surveyor or a registered civil engineer holding a license number 33965 or lower.
CERTIFICATION FOR BOUNDARY DESCRIPTIONS: Please complete the “Certification for Boundary Descriptions" form that is included in this section.
AP STANDARDS
MAPS: Maps must be prepared in a professional manner, meeting both these standards and the attached requirements set forth by the State Board of Equalization (attached). The map must clearly show all pertinent information, including existing boundaries of City, District or *Sphere of In?uence (*in case a SOI amendment is required), all parcel boundaries with APNs which touch the exterior boundary, all dedicated streets etc. In rare circumstances where there is a large number of parcels and display of parcel lines and APNs would compromise the legibility of the map, this requirement may be waived. Maps must be on good quality paper, with all lines, lettering and information shown clearly, without smudges or fuzziness. Should you need to use cut sheets in order to meet the scale and size requirements, an index sheet must be included as part of the map.
MAP SIZE: The Riverside County Clerk-Recorder’s office requires that LAFCO maps be kept to the following sizes: 8 1/zx 11 or 8 1/2x 14. This size may require the use of cut sheets in order to maintain legibility. If cut sheets are used, the first page should be the index sheet illustrating the configuration used with the subsequent sheets. The first sheet shall have all the essential elements of title block, exhibit, LAFCO title etc.
TITLE: The title shall have the same three elements as used in the corresponding boundary description. This title can be at the top of the page or enclosed in a title block. It should be large enough to be immediately obvious.
NORTH ARROW & SCALE: All maps shall have a north arrow and scale listed. Please include a linear scale on the map.
ACREAGE: The acreage contained within the boundaries of the proposal shall be shown on the map.
VICINITYMAP: A vicinity map is required. It need not be to scale.
