3.4 IDENTIFICATION OF RISKS AND VULNERABILITIES
•Wildfire
Wildfire hazards are highest in areas of the community near the wildland-urban interface (WUI). The WUI refers to areas where development abuts areas of wilderness or landscapes with higher fuel loads. Although Indio does not have a record of any reported fire incidents, the Riverside County MJHMP indicates that from 2001 to 2011, more than 60 large fires (300 acres or greater in size) were reported in the county of Riverside. The Wildfire Hazard Severity Figure Zone presents the three fire hazard severity zones in Indio. The Very High Wildfire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ) was identified by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) based on fuel load, slope, fire weather, and other relevant factors. The High (HFHSZ) and Moderate Fire Hazard Severity Zones (MFHSZ) were identified by the Riverside County Fire Department based on an assessment of vegetation, slope, fire history, weather patterns, and the effects of flames, heat, and flying fire embers. 29 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN March 2024 the City of Indio has incorporated state requirements with the adoption of the 2013 edition of the California Building Standards Code and the 2013 edition of the California Fire Code by reference in Municipal Code Title 15, Building and Construction. The state’s fire hazard severity zones shown in Figure 8.6 are incorporated and established in Indio Municipal Code Section 15.26.040, supporting the City’s ability to enforce state standards applicable to areas of higher risk.

Resolution No. 10468 Adopting the City of Indio 2023 Local Hazard Mitiga... Page 296 of 414 29 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
•Earthquake
An earthquake is a natural geological phenomenon characterized by the sudden and violent shaking of the Earth's surface. It is caused by the release of accumulated energy along faults and fractures in the Earth's crust. This energy release, often referred to as seismic energy, generates seismic waves that propagate through the Earth, causing the ground to move and shake.

The primary cause of earthquakes is the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. These plates are large sections of the Earth's crust that constantly shift and interact due to the heat generated by the planet's interior. When stress builds up along the boundaries of these plates, it can overcome the friction holding them in place. This leads to the sudden release of energy in the form of seismic waves, resulting in an earthquake.

Indio (Identified with a red star in the image below), a city situated in the southern San Andreas Seismic Hazard Zone, faces potential seismic risks due to the presence of multiple earthquake faults in the region.

Furthermore, within the city, there are several unreinforced masonry buildings that pose additional challenges in terms of seismic safety.

To address these concerns, the City of Indio has implemented various measures aimed at mitigating the potential risks associated with earthquakes and unreinforced masonry structures.

Commented [SM(7]: Where are Indio’s boundaries within
the map? Where is the legend?

Resolution No. 10468 Adopting the City of Indio 2023 Local Hazard Mitiga... Page 297 of 414 30 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
The image provided by FEMA clearly illustrates the seismic vulnerability of the City of Indio, as denoted by the presence of a black star. According to the zoning classification, Indio is situated within a region categorized as "Very High" in terms of earthquake risk. This designation underlines the significance of earthquake preparedness and mitigation measures that the city needs to implement to safeguard its residents, infrastructure, and overall resilience in the face of potential seismic events.

There have been several notable seismic incidents within close proximity to the City of Indio:
oImperial Valley Earthquake on May 18, 1940, was a magnitude 6.9 oImperial Valley Earthquake on October 15, 1979, was a magnitude 6.5 oLanders Earthquake on June 28, 1992, was a magnitude 7.3 oHector Mine Earthquake on October 16, 1999, was a magnitude 7.1 oBorrego Springs Earthquake on May 2, 2016, was a magnitude 5.2 Downtown Area Vulnerability:

The downtown area of the City of Indio emerges as a potentially vulnerable zone to the impacts of a significant earthquake due to its aging infrastructure. The presence of older structures in this region raises concerns about their resilience and ability to withstand seismic forces. The susceptibility of buildings and infrastructure in downtown Indio to seismic events is a focal point of concern, demanding comprehensive measures for fortification.

Resolution No. 10468 Adopting the City of Indio 2023 Local Hazard Mitiga... Page 298 of 414 31 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
Demographic Vulnerabilities Throughout the City:

In addition to downtown, vulnerabilities extend throughout the City of Indio, with specific concern for vulnerable populations. Among these groups are the elderly, disabled individuals, and young children, who may face heightened challenges in evacuating or finding refuge during and after an earthquake. Factors such as limited mobility, the need for specialized care, or potential difficulties in navigating disrupted urban environments contribute to their vulnerabilities. •Extreme Heat
Extreme Heat refers to weather conditions that deviate significantly from the average or expected patterns for a particular region and time of year. These conditions can be characterized by their intensity, duration, or unusual nature, and they often pose significant risks to both human and natural systems. Extreme Heat events can encompass a range of phenomena, including intense heatwaves, ,.

Similarly, Indio is anticipated to experience an increase in the number of days when the temperature exceeds 112.1°F, the local threshold for extreme heat. While Indio’s historic number of extreme heat days through 2011 was four occurrences per year, by 2050 the number of extreme heat days could increase to 56 per year, on an average of 21 to 25 (Scripps Institution of Oceanography 2009 & 2018). Increased heat, when combined with drought and high winds, can exacerbate wildfire risk in and around Indio, especially for vulnerable populations such as the unhoused, elderly, and those with chronic health conditions. Heatwaves can also lead to increased demand for energy and strain on the power grid. Indio’s summer temperatures reach over 120°F for four months of the year and have an average temperature of over 100°F.

California had several heatwaves between 2018 and 2021, with record-breaking high temperatures. These heatwaves posed health risks and put additional strain on energy resources.

The City of Indio is inherently vulnerable to extreme weather conditions, as evidenced by the data presented in Section 1 of the document. The tables depicting the city's susceptibility to sweltering heat, low precipitation, and high winds highlight the challenges that residents, businesses, and infrastructure face in the face of extreme weather events.

With temperatures soaring to sweltering levels for more than half of the year, Indio's residents must cope with the health risks posed by prolonged exposure to high heat.

Furthermore, the limited precipitation throughout the year puts the city at risk of drought, potentially impacting water availability for essential needs. Additionally, the prevalence of high winds, particularly during certain months, poses a threat to the stability of structures and outdoor activities. These factors collectively underscore the need for the City of Indio

Resolution No. 10468 Adopting the City of Indio 2023 Local Hazard Mitiga... Page 299 of 414 32 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
to employ proactive strategies and preparedness measures to mitigate the impacts of extreme weather events and ensure the safety and well-being of its community members. oSevere heat occurs yearly.

California Heat Assessment Tool
Downtown Area Vulnerability:

The downtown area of the City of Indio is susceptible to the impacts of extreme weather such as extreme heat, primarily due to aging infrastructure, including outdated HVAC systems. As temperatures rise, the functionality of these systems may be compromised, posing a risk to the indoor climate of buildings. The vulnerability is exacerbated by the prevalence of older structures in this region, necessitating strategic interventions to enhance resilience and mitigate the potential impact of extreme heat events.

Population Vulnerabilities Throughout the City:

The vulnerability extends citywide, with a focus on populations lacking access to adequate cooling resources. This includes residents who may not have air conditioning systems, especially in areas with older housing stock. The elderly, economically disadvantaged, and other marginalized groups may face challenges in coping with extreme heat, increasing the risk of heat-related illnesses.

Resolution No. 10468 Adopting the City of Indio 2023 Local Hazard Mitiga... Page 300 of 414 33 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
•Communications Failure
Communications failure refers to the disruption or breakdown of communication systems and networks that connect people, organizations, and communities. These systems include various methods of transmitting information, such as telephones, cell phones, landlines, radios, television broadcasts, internet services, and data networks. When these systems fail or become unavailable, it can result in a loss of the ability to exchange information, coordinate activities, and receive critical updates, which can have significant consequences in various situations.

Communications failures can occur due to a variety of reasons, including natural disasters, technical issues, infrastructure damage, human error, cyberattacks, and more.

On a daily basis, emergency response personnel are tasked with addressing incidents of different scales and significance. The timely and effective communication among these personnel is of utmost importance for establishing command and control during emergency situations, ensuring situational awareness, and effectively managing a wide range of incidents (U.S. Department of Homeland Security, 2008).

However, on June 27, 2016, an unfortunate incident of emergency communications failure occurred, which disrupted the functionality of the 911 system from Whitewater to Blythe. This incident highlighted the criticality of reliable and resilient communication systems in emergency response operations.

Communication Vulnerabilities for Essential Services:

Law enforcement, fire services, and other essential public services are particularly vulnerable to communication failures due to the critical nature of their operations and the unique challenges they face. The following factors contribute to their heightened vulnerability:

1.Reliance on Real-Time Communication:
•Essential public services, such as law enforcement and fire departments, require instantaneous communication to respond swiftly to emergencies. Delays or failures in communication systems can hinder their ability to coordinate and execute time- sensitive operations.

2.Diverse Operational Environments:
•These services often operate in diverse and challenging environments, including densely populated urban areas, remote locations, or areas with limited infrastructure. Traditional communication infrastructure may struggle to provide seamless coverage across such varied landscapes.

Resolution No. 10468 Adopting the City of Indio 2023 Local Hazard Mitiga... Page 301 of 414 34 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN

3.Dependency on Technology:
•Modern emergency response relies heavily on sophisticated communication technologies. While these technologies enhance efficiency, they also introduce vulnerabilities. Technical malfunctions, cyber threats, or natural disasters can disrupt communication channels, impacting the coordination of emergency responses.

4.Interagency Coordination:
•Emergency situations often require collaboration among multiple agencies, including law enforcement, fire services, medical responders, and more.

Communication failures between these entities can lead to miscoordination, potentially compromising public safety.

5.Sensitive Information Sharing:
•Law enforcement and emergency services deal with sensitive information that must be shared securely. Communication breakdowns could lead to unauthorized access or interception of critical information, jeopardizing ongoing operations and compromising public safety.
•Electrical Failure
Electrical failure refers to the sudden loss or interruption of electrical power supply in an area, resulting in the inability to use electrical devices, lighting, and other systems that depend on electricity. This type of failure can occur due to various reasons, ranging from technical issues within the electrical grid to external factors such as natural disasters, accidents, or deliberate actions.

An electrical failure can arise from various factors such as grid failures, solar flares, or electromagnetic pulse incidents. Extreme weather conditions also pose a potential risk of power outages.

For instance, on June 3, 2016, over 5,000 residents experienced a power outage, the exact cause of which remains unknown. This incident underscores the need for preparedness and resilience in the face of electrical failures, emphasizing the importance of reliable power infrastructure to support the community during adverse circumstances.

The City of Indio faces a significant vulnerability to electrical failures, particularly in areas lacking emergency backup power. This concern is amplified by several factors that affect both essential services and the well-being of residents.

In areas without reliable emergency backup power sources, susceptibility to electrical failures is heightened. This is especially critical for essential services, including emergency response systems, medical facilities, and communication networks.

Resolution No. 10468 Adopting the City of Indio 2023 Local Hazard Mitiga... Page 302 of 414 35 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
Disruptions in these services during power outages can have severe consequences for public safety.

The climate in Indio, characterized by high temperatures, exacerbates the vulnerability.

Electrical failures can lead to a lack of air conditioning and refrigeration, posing health risks. This is particularly concerning for vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and those with medical conditions, who are at increased risk during prolonged power outages.

A noteworthy aspect is that a significant portion of Indio's population lacks access to emergency-generated power. This leaves a majority of residents in a precarious position during electrical failures, as they are unable to sustain basic necessities, including cooling, medical equipment operation, and food preservation. •Hazardous Materials Incident
A hazardous materials incident, often referred to as a HazMat incident, involves the release, spill, leakage, or mishandling of hazardous substances that pose a threat to human health, the environment, and property. These incidents can occur during transportation, storage, handling, or use of hazardous materials or chemicals. Hazardous materials can include a wide range of substances, such as chemicals, gases, flammable liquids, radioactive materials, and toxic substances.

The City of Indio faces potential risks associated with hazardous material spills, primarily due to the transportation of various hazardous materials by commercial vehicles on local highways and freeways.

Within the jurisdiction, the Union Pacific Railroad serves as a vital commercial freight transportation system, carrying large quantities and diverse types of hazardous materials on a daily basis. Additionally, a significant petroleum pipeline runs parallel to the rail system, posing the risk of widespread damage from flammable liquids explosions and hazardous material releases, potentially leading to long-term evacuations that could impact the city.

Due to budgetary limitations, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors requested a reduction in the FY17/18 Fire Department budget, resulting in the elimination of one hazardous materials response team. The remaining team will be based at Fire Station 34 in Winchester.

These risks have been demonstrated by previous incidents, including a hazardous materials oil drum fire in the unincorporated county area north of Indio on September 28, 2015, and a hazardous materials incident at a local high school in Indio on October 2, 2015. The latter involved an overfilled chlorine distribution container that caused chlorine to be hosed into a drain, resulting from a local vendor's overfilling of the holding vessel,

Resolution No. 10468 Adopting the City of Indio 2023 Local Hazard Mitiga... Page 303 of 414 36 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
leading to a leakage of 5-10 gallons of diluted liquid chlorine onto the concrete floor of a storage room.

These incidents highlight the need for ongoing vigilance, preparedness, and effective response measures to mitigate the potential risks associated with hazardous material spills in the City of Indio.

One of the primary apprehensions for the City of Indio revolves around the potential risks associated with hazardous materials incidents. This concern is particularly pronounced due to the prominent railway and interstate that traverse the city, creating a critical nexus of transportation infrastructure.

The intersecting railway and interstate networks significantly amplify the potential impact of a hazardous materials incident. This multiplies the areas of vulnerability, as both road and rail transportation routes serve as conduits for the transportation of hazardous materials. The implications of an incident along these critical corridors necessitate a comprehensive approach to mitigate risks and enhance preparedness.

Vulnerability extends to individuals residing or working within close proximity to these transportation arteries. In the event of a hazardous materials incident, the radius of concern is delineated to approximately half a mile from the epicenter. This includes not only residents but also businesses, schools, and other essential facilities situated within this radius.
•Flood
A flood is a natural disaster that occurs when there is an overflow of water onto normally dry land. It can result from a variety of factors, including heavy rainfall, rapid snowmelt, storm surges, dam or levee failures, or the accumulation of water in a low-lying area.

Flooding can happen suddenly and have significant impacts on communities, causing damage to property, infrastructure, and even loss of life.

Floods are natural events that require comprehensive planning, infrastructure management, and public awareness to mitigate their impact on communities. Effective flood management includes a combination of preventive measures, early warning systems, and coordinated emergency response efforts.

Heavy rain can lead to problems with storm drainage and create localized flood problems.

According to the City of Indio Storm Drain Master Plan, there are several flooding problem areas in the City. These areas are primarily a result of roadways running across flood control channels, and undersized storm water drains where the runoff exceeds the pipe capacity even for minor storms.

Resolution No. 10468 Adopting the City of Indio 2023 Local Hazard Mitiga... Page 304 of 414 37 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
oA severe winter storm impacted much of California January 18 – 23, 2017 (FEMA- 4305-DR). The swollen Whitewater River washed over Avenue 44 during this time, eroding away the roadway.

The City of Indio faces distinct vulnerabilities related to flooding, primarily attributed to specific problematic areas within the urban landscape. These concerns are intricately linked to the interaction between roadways, flood control channels, and stormwater drains, contributing to challenges in managing excessive runoff.

One of the central issues contributing to vulnerability is the intersection of roadways with flood control channels. The configuration of these intersections can impede the natural flow of water, creating bottlenecks that exacerbate the risk of flooding. The topography and layout of certain areas amplify this vulnerability, demanding focused attention to ensure effective water drainage during periods of heavy rainfall.

Resolution No. 10468 Adopting the City of Indio 2023 Local Hazard Mitiga... Page 305 of 414 38 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
•Drought
Drought is a prolonged period of abnormally low precipitation that leads to a shortage of water supply, both on the surface (rivers, lakes) and in groundwater reservoirs. It can have significant impacts on ecosystems, agriculture, water availability, and overall societal well-being.

Drought management involves a combination of proactive planning, efficient water use, and adaptation strategies to minimize the social, economic, and environmental impacts of water scarcity. Public awareness, collaboration among stakeholders, and long-term sustainable practices are essential to mitigating the effects of drought.

Although California experienced periods of drought prior to 2018, it continued to face water shortages during this period. Drought conditions, combined with high temperatures, exacerbated the risk of wildfires.

Like much of California, many of the effects of climate change will be mediated through climate-driven stress to water supply and quality. Land use patterns in the region are highly dependent on water availability, and competing needs for water amongst urban development, agriculture, and natural ecosystems. High variability amongst climate model predictions of future rainfall rates makes projections of future water availability highly uncertain; however, climate warming will dry soils and increase the risk of severe drought. (2018. Inland Deserts Summary Report. California’s Fourth Climate Change Assessment. Publication number: SUM-CCCA4-2018-008)

Resolution No. 10468 Adopting the City of Indio 2023 Local Hazard Mitiga... Page 306 of 414 39 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
The City of Indio grapples with a notable vulnerability to drought, a concern heightened by the unique environmental context of being situated in a desert region characterized by minimal rainfall. This susceptibility extends across various sectors, with the agricultural landscape standing out as the most profoundly impacted.

The agricultural sector, a cornerstone of Indio's economic and cultural identity, faces significant challenges due to the scarcity of water resources. Drought conditions intensify the strain on water availability, impacting crop yields, and necessitating careful water management strategies. In a region where agriculture plays a pivotal role, the community's resilience hinges on proactive measures to address water scarcity and promote sustainable practices.
•Emergent Disease/Contamination
Emergent diseases or contamination refer to the sudden appearance or increase in the prevalence of a disease or harmful substance that affects human health or the environment. These events often catch communities, health systems, and authorities by surprise due to their unexpected nature.

Emergent diseases and contamination underscore the need for proactive public health measures, environmental protection, and global cooperation. Monitoring changes in ecosystems, addressing climate change, promoting proper sanitation, and implementing regulations are crucial in preventing and managing these emergent threats.

Emergent Disease/contamination may pertain to either medical health (i.e., Zika or health disease that could have widespread outbreak in animals or humans) or agriculture (i.e., contamination of crops or the food supply).
o Tuberculosis (TB) reported at a local high school in Indio in November 2013. All students and staff were tested for TB as a result of the initial finding. Two additional cases were identified. An additional (72) people were treated for latent TB infection.
oThe COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, has been a global public health crisis of unprecedented magnitude. It began in late 2019 and rapidly spread worldwide, leading the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare it a pandemic in March 2020. The virus primarily spreads through respiratory droplets, causing a range of symptoms from mild respiratory issues to severe pneumonia and, in some cases, death. Governments and health organizations worldwide implemented various measures to contain the spread, including lockdowns, mask mandates, and vaccination campaigns. The pandemic

Resolution No. 10468 Adopting the City of Indio 2023 Local Hazard Mitiga... Page 307 of 414 40 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
not only strained healthcare systems but also had profound social, economic, and psychological impacts. Efforts to combat the virus continue through vaccination campaigns, research, and public health initiatives to mitigate its effects and prevent future outbreaks.

The City of Indio acknowledges the susceptibility of its population to emergent diseases and contamination, recognizing that almost all residents, particularly those with pre- existing health conditions, are vulnerable. An emergent disease signifies the sudden onset or escalation of a health threat, while contamination denotes the introduction of harmful substances that can adversely impact human health and the environment.

4.2 LIST OF COUNTY AND CITY HAZARDS
After the list of hazards was identified, the Planning Team went through a process to prioritize (screen) the hazards to determine which hazards created the greatest concern in the community. The Planning Team utilized a non-numerical ranking system that was implemented during this update to the City of Indio LHMP. This process consists of generating a qualitative ranking, High, Medium, or Low rating for: 1) Probability; and 2) Impact from each hazard. As part of this process, the following criteria (definitions) were applied:
•Probability
oHigh: Between 10 and 100 percent chance of occurrence in next year or has a recurrence interval of 10 years or less.
o Medium: Between 1 and 10 percent chance of occurrence in the next year or has a recurrence interval of 11 to 100 years.
oLow: Less than 1 percent chance of occurrence in next 100 years or has a recurrence interval of greater than every 100 years.
•Impact
oHigh: (Catastrophic/Critical) Experts and data indicate that the consequences will be significant in terms of building damage and loss of life. oMedium: (Limited, but not insignificant) Consequences are thought to be modest in terms of building damage and loss of life, limited either in geographic extent or magnitude.
oLow: (Negligible) Consequences are thought to be minimal in terms of building damage and loss of life, limited either in geographic extent or magnitude.

It's important to note that probability levels are not static and can be influenced by various factors, including climate change, urban development, and advancements in technology. These quantitative descriptions provide a foundation for understanding the relative likelihood of different events and guide our hazard mitigation efforts accordingly.

After each hazard was ranked using the above criteria, the results were displayed in the graph below. The Planning Team determined all hazards falling within the shaded area were the top priority/probability and impact. This means that resources will be prioritized and allocated to those areas described below.

Commented [SM(8]: This is still not a quantitative
description for probability. Please see examples in email from Jody Newton on 7/31/23. Citizen’s feelings should not be considered while determining probability

Resolution No. 10468 Adopting the City of Indio 2023 Local Hazard Mitiga... Page 315 of 414 48 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN

6.1 REGULATORY MITIGATION CAPABILITIES
These abilities can be further developed and enhanced through the integration of hazard information within the General Plan. By instituting a structured procedure to verify that mitigation strategies pinpointed in the hazard mitigation plan are evaluated during updates to the City's Capital Improvement Program, Continuity of Operations Plan, and Emergency Operations Plan, we can significantly bolster our preparedness efforts.

By strategically incorporating hazard information into the General Plan, we can lay the foundation for a more resilient and responsive community. It allows us to not only identify potential risks but also to proactively plan for and mitigate them. This approach ensures that hazard-related considerations become an integral part of our planning and development processes.

Furthermore, by instituting a robust review process, we make certain that the mitigation measures we've identified are not overlooked during the updates to critical plans, such as the Capital Improvement Program, Continuity of Operations Plan, and Emergency Operations Plan. This alignment ensures that our mitigation efforts remain current, effective, and in sync with our broader planning strategies.

We currently are in the process of reviewing and revising the Emergency Operations Plan and producing a COOP for the city using EMPG funding.

In summary, the integration of hazard information within our General Plan, combined with a dedicated process for reviewing and incorporating mitigation actions into our key planning documents, solidifies our commitment to creating a safer and more resilient community. It enables us to respond more effectively to potential hazards and fortify our long-term preparedness.

The following table outlines the range of planning and land management tools that are conventionally employed by jurisdictions to execute hazard mitigation activities. It also provides a snapshot of the specific tools that are presently in use within our City. The presence of a "Yes" or "No" in the respective column signifies whether the City currently possesses that particular capability.

This evaluation not only offers an overview of the tools at our disposal but also underscores the City's existing capacities for hazard mitigation. It's important to recognize the tools we currently have and assess how well they align with our mitigation goals. This insight helps us identify areas where we excel and areas that might benefit from additional resources or strategies.

STAFF REPORT

To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Vianka Orrantia, Administrative Secretary
Subject: Resolution No. 10467 adopting speed zones citywide

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 10467 establishing speed zones citywide.

SUMMARY:

Engineering and Traffic Surveys have been conducted in accordance with provisions of the California Vehicle Code on 129 street segments throughout the city. The findings of the speed surveys with Segments Street below. summarized changes recommended the and are Recommended No Change 57 Street Segments with Recommended Increase 0 Street Segments with Recommended Decrease 70 Street Segments with New Speed Limit 2 Of the 70 street segments with speed limit reductions, 26 street segments were reduced through the establishment of Safety Corridors per Assembly Bill 43. The remaining speed limit recommendations are based on the measured 85th percentile speeds. In addition, the City of La Quinta recently performed a Traffic and Engineering Survey on Jefferson Street between Westward Ho Drive and Highway 111. This resolution adopts that survey and sets that speed limit accordingly.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

California Assembly Bill 43 (AB 43) was passed and signed into law on October 8, 2021, and has recently become effective, allowing agencies more discretion in establishing speed limits. AB 43 focuses on traffic safety and speed limits including these key areas:

Speed Limit Adjustments: The bill allows local authorities to lower speed limits on roads, including state highways, in business and residential areas without adhering to the "85th percentile rule". This rule previously required speed limits to be set based on the speed at which 85% of drivers travel.

Vulnerable Groups: Local authorities can now consider the safety of vulnerable groups, such as pedestrians, bicyclists, seniors, and children, when setting speed limits.

Safety Corridors: The bill designates certain areas as “safety corridors” where speed limits can be reduced to enhance safety.

Traffic Surveys: Reduces the need for frequent traffic surveys to enforce speed limits, making it easier for cities to maintain lower speed limits on high-risk roads.

To take full advantage of the benefits of AB 43, the Public Works Department issued a request for proposals to perform updated Engineering and Traffic Surveys citywide and make recommendations to establish “safety corridors” and reduce speed limits where appropriate. Hartzog and Crabill, Inc.

Updated speed limits won’t be effective until those agencies also approve them, and updated speed limit signs are installed. The estimated cost for the replacement signs across these shared segments is approximately $98,500.

Additionally, the City of La Quinta recently performed a Traffic and Engineering Survey on Jefferson Street between Westward Ho Drive and Highway 111. The recommended speed limit on this segment is 45 MPH, which matches the remainder of Jefferson Street to the north.

The recommended speed limits are summarized in Exhibit A of the resolution and on the map in Attachment 2.

STAFF REPORT

To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Timothy Wassil, Public Works Director
Subject: Financial security in the form of an Escrow Agreement or Letter of Credit in an amount of $121,400.00, related to the offsite mitigation required for the amended Streambed Alteration Agreement approved for the Avenue 44 Bridge at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel Project, Federal Project No. BRLKS-5275(024), City Project No. BR1101

RECOMMENDATION:

Ratify the City Manager’s approval of a financial security in the form of an Escrow Agreement or Letter of Credit in an amount of $121,400.00, related to the offsite mitigation required for the amended Streambed Alteration Agreement approved for the Avenue 44 Bridge at the Coachella Valley Storm Water Channel Project, Federal Project No. BRLKS-5275(024), City Project No.

BR1101; and authorize the City Manager to execute documents, direct the Escrow Agent as to all matters, including fund transfers, negotiate and execute escrow instructions, address changes and contact information changes on City’s behalf.

SUMMARY:

On February 3, 2021, the City Council approved a Streambed Alteration Agreement with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to mitigate impacts to the CDFW jurisdictional waters. Since this approval, project scope changes led to additional impacts to the CDFW jurisdictional waters. An amendment to the Streambed Alteration Agreement was approved on November 15, 2023, which added certain compensatory mitigation measures that require the City to secure an offsite conservation easement or provide financial security in an amount sufficient for CDFW to secure the conservation easement prior to initiation of project activities.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

During the project development, in order to reduce impacts to the CDFW jurisdictional waters, the City proposed installing dirt ramps into the channel to provide the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) with channel access post bridge construction, similar to the dirt access ramps currently existing in the channel near the Jackson Street Bridge. However, during final design, CVWD required that the access ramps be concrete and constructed monolithic with the channel slope lining. This increased impacts to the CDFW jurisdictional waters.

To mitigate these additional impacts, the City and CDFW amended the Streambed Alteration Agreement to include conserving 1.34 acres of streambed tributary to the Whitewater River. The City has identified potential conservation land and submitted the preliminary biological assessment to CDFW for review. However, as written in the amended Streambed Alteration Agreement, the AGENDA ITEM #11.17
Financial security in the form of an Escrow Agreement or Letter of Credi... Page 348 of 414 conservation easement must be in place prior to the start of construction activities. Alternatively, the City may provide financial security in the form of an Escrow Agreement or Letter of Credit in an amount sufficient for CDFW to complete the conservation easement development.

The Avenue 44 Low Water Crossing has been closed since Tropical Strom Hilary damaged the roadway in August 2023. With the impending bridge construction, Staff has been accelerating the construction start date of the Avenue 44 Bridge Project, rather than rebuilding the low water crossing for just a temporary period. Staff remains vigilant to complete construction as soon as possible.

As such, the City awarded a construction contract to Ortiz Construction on July 17, 2024, and the contractor requested a construction start date on September 23, 2024. To expedite construction activities and prevent further delays to the project associated with this mitigation measure the City Manager signed the financial security in the amount of $121,400 as approved by CDFW.

The financial security will be reserved until the City completes the conservation easement including development of a long-term management plan and identification of a mitigation site land manager.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY:

Additional Financial Details:

The financial security will be temporarily reserved as long as the City complies with the mitigation measures associated with the amended Streambed Alteration Agreement. The City’s annual Capital Improvement Program budget includes sufficient funds in DIF-Roads to accommodate this security. Permanent costs associated with the conservation easement, long term management plan, and endowment funds will be brought back to City Council as they are determined.
