If Consultant does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under Section 20 “Termination of Agreement.” Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Consultant’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.

SECTION 22. EXCUSABLE DELAYS.

Consultant shall not be liable for damages, including liquidated damages, if any, caused by delay in performance or failure to perform due to causes beyond the control of Consultant.

Prepared by: Brian Tully, Chief of Police
Subject: Approval of $23,845.00 Increase to Axon Contract for the Purchase of 5 Taser Devices and 15 Additional User Licenses

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve a contract amendment with Axon Enterprises, Inc., increasing the existing contract by $23,845.00 for the purchase of five additional Taser 7 devices and fifteen licenses.

SUMMARY:

The Indio Police Department is requesting approval of a $23,845.00 increase to its existing contract with Axon Enterprises, Inc. for the purchase of five additional Taser 7 devices and fifteen licenses.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The City Council approved a five-year contract with Axon Enterprises, Inc. in March 2022 in the amount of $848,383.

STAFF REPORT

To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Brian Tully, Chief of Police
Subject: Approval of a Three-Year Law Enforcement Services Agreement Between the City of Indio and Desert Sands Unified School District for the Provision of Police Services.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Three-Year Law Enforcement Services Agreement Between the City of Indio and Desert Sands Unified School District for the Provision of Police Services.

SUMMARY:

The Indio Police Department's School Resource Officer ("SRO") program has improved public safety within Desert Sands Unified School District's ("DSUSD") school sites while proactively addressing minor offenses in conjunction with the Principals and other school administrators. The goal is to continue providing a safe environment for students and educators in Indio schools. The proposed agreement provides a three-year term with DSUSD for four (4) SROs within the school sites listed in the agreement.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The Indio Police Department and Desert Sands Unified School District ("DSUSD") both recognize the value of having a School Resource Officer ("SRO") at middle and high schools within the City of Indio. The Police Department's SRO Program is evidence-based and continues to operationalize national and state recommendations to ensure the safety of students, educators, and other school personnel. DSUSD personnel also work closely with Police Department personnel to better align their school safety policies with the work of our School Resource Officers.

In support of the inter-agency relationship with DSUSD, Staff recommends the continued cost- sharing, understanding that it enables flexibility within the Department and the District. Staff is proposing a daily rate of $750 per SRO provided to the District. The rate is inclusive of fringe benefits, vehicle usage, and any other related costs for personnel. The proposed agreement will be retroactive to July 1, 2025.

SUMMARY:

On November 17, 2021, The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) contacted IWA to discuss the consolidation of a State Small Water System (SSWS) known as Carver Tract Mutual Water Corporation (CTMWC). CTMWC will not be able to comply with state’s new regulation for Hexavalent Chromium (Cr6). The SWRCB is requesting permanent water connection for these customers and consolidation of SSWS into the IWA service area. As part of the early stages of consolidation, the SWRCB requires that IWA adopt a resolution that would authorize and designate the Executive Director as the agency authorized representative to sign and file, for and on behalf of Indio Water Authority.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The State Small Water System (SSWS), Carver Tract MWC is located on the NE intersection of Avenue 48 and Van Buren Street (between Avenue 48 and Manila Avenue and Van Buren Street and Bataan Street) in Indio and has 188 service connections with 600 customers. They have one groundwater well, installed in 1992, which is located at 84129 Leyte Avenue, and provides domestic water.

This change will address salary compaction issues that staff discovered after a new step 9 was implemented for other employee associations' salary schedules (ICEA, IWAEA, and SEIU). This change is consistent with the changes already agreed on by two other non-sworn bargaining units (ICEA and IWAEA). The third non-sworn bargaining, SEIU, agreed to a new step 9 proposal for three consecutive years because SEIU chose to bypass market-based salary adjustments to their job classifications in the first year of their successor agreement. The MCU group received several market-based salary adjustments for job classifications in year one, similar to ICEA and IWAEA. While the City negotiates in good faith with each bargaining unit independently to address their unique interests, the City actively attempts to maintain a cost-effective level of parity among the non-sworn units and the MCU group. In turn, staff believe it is justified to make this amended change to maintain closer parity between the MCU group and the three other non-sworn units.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The MCU represents 49 full-time employees, which equates to 17% of the City's authorized full-time workforce. Currently, there are ten (10) MCU employees who will receive an immediate salary increase if this proposed amendment is approved. While the remaining thirty-nine (39) MCU members will not experience an immediate salary increase, they will experience an increase in earning potential within their current salary pay grades if new steps are added as proposed.

Implementation of amended changes to the Compensation and Benefits Plan ... Page 309 of 381

 Effective the first pay period of October 2025 (which is pay period 21, October 10, 2025), each salary range will be modified to add one step to the top of the salary range that is 5% above the existing top step. Any employee who has been at the top step for one year or more will be moved to the new top step effective the first pay period in October 2025. Other employees will be eligible to achieve the new top step through normal step progression. In addition, one step at the bottom of the salary range will be removed to maintain a nine-step salary range.

 Effective the first full pay period in July 2026, each salary range will be modified to add one step to top of the salary range that is 5% above the existing top step. Any employee who has been at the top step for one year or more will be moved to the new top step effective July 1, 2026. Other employees will be eligible to achieve the new top step through normal step progression. In addition, one step at the bottom of the salary range will be removed to maintain a nine-step salary range.

STAFF REPORT

To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Timothy Wassil, Public Works Director
Subject: Change Order No. 4 with Three Peaks Corp. in the amount of $312,716.15 for additional work for the Indio Sports Park Project, City Project No. PK2203

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve Contract Change Order No. 4 with Three Peaks Corp., in the amount of $312,716.15. for additional work for the Indio Sports Park Project, City Project No. PK2203; and authorize the City Manager to execute the Change Order.

SUMMARY:

The city has approved three prior change orders totaling $738,885 for the Indio Sports Park project.

Contract Change Order No. 4, in the amount of $312,716.15, proposes constructing a retention basin north of the park on Jackson Street and Kenner Avenue to protect the park from upstream flooding and provide a discharge location for Indio Water Authority’s Well BB. This basin is a temporary solution until the I-10/Jackson Street Interchange and bridge are built. With Three Peaks still mobilized nearby, proceeding now is both cost-effective and operationally efficient.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

On March 20, 2024, the City Council awarded the construction contract for the Indio Sports Park Project (PK2203) to Three Peaks Corp. in the amount of $11,832,256.16. Since then, the Council has approved three change orders totaling $738,885, addressing soil import, utility infrastructure, building revisions, landscape improvements, drainage, and lighting enhancements.

Contract Change Order No. 4 proposes the construction of the Jackson Street Retention Basin at Jackson Street and Kenner Avenue. This basin is designed to capture stormwater runoff from the neighborhood immediately north of the Indio Sports Park, reducing the risk of flooding at the site. It will also serve as a designated discharge point for the Indio Water Authority’s Well BB during routine maintenance and emergency repairs. Without this infrastructure, such discharges would be released into the street, creating additional operational and environmental challenges.

This basin is a temporary flood control solution until the I-10/Jackson Street Interchange and bridge over the Whitewater River are constructed, which will provide a permanent drainage system, incorporated with the newly widened bridge over the Whitewater Chanel. Given that Three Peaks Corp. is still on-site and nearing completion of the retention basin at Indio Sports Park, moving forward avoiding efficient, operationally and cost-effective now is future work this with both mobilization costs.

AGENDA ITEM #11.17
Change Order No. 4 with Three Peaks Corp. in the amount of $312,716.15 f... Page 311 of 381 The scope includes excavation, soil export, storm drain piping, headwalls, a combination catch basin, and erosion control features. The total cost of the proposed work is $312,716.15, as outlined in Change Order No. 4.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY:

Additional Financial Details:

Sufficient funds have been budgeted in FY25/26 for Project PW-BR0109: Jackson Street Bridge at Storm Channel to cover the cost of the proposed retention basin. Staff recommends a budget adjustment in the amount of $312,716.15 from Project PW-BR0109 to Project PW-PK2203: Indio Sports Park. This adjustment ensures that project expenses are aligned with the function and timing of the work, recognizing that the retention basin serves as an interim drainage solution until the permanent Jackson Street bridge is constructed with the interchange project. This reallocation will allow the City to fund the retention basin without impacting the General Fund

STAFF REPORT

To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Jose Ramirez, Principal Management Analyst Subject: (“Smoke-Free 107 Chapter adding 1822, Ordinance of Introduction No.

Areas”) to Title IX of the Indio Municipal Code; repealing Section 96.30; and establishing smoke-free outdoor and multi-unit residential areas to protect public health and the environment.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council introduce first reading of Ordinance No. 1822, adding Chapter 107 (“Smoke-Free Areas”) to Title IX of the Indio Municipal Code; repealing Section 96.30; and establishing smoke-free outdoor and multi-unit residential areas to protect public health and the environment.

SUMMARY:

Ordinance No. 1822 adds Chapter 107 (“Smoke-Free Areas”) to Title IX of the Indio Municipal Code, repeals Section 96.30, and bans smoking (including vape and cannabis) in outdoor dining areas, plazas, parks, playgrounds, service lines, and within 25 feet of entrances, air intakes, and operable windows. Multi-unit residential leases must include smoke-free provisions beginning January 1, 2026. Exemptions cover private residences not open to the public, moving vehicles, and traditional indigenous ceremonies. The measure protects public health, reduces litter and fire hazards, and improves air quality.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

Under Health & Safety Code §§ 104420–104495 and Government Code § 36900 et seq., the City may adopt stricter smoke-free rules than state law. The U.S. Surgeon General confirms no safe level of secondhand-smoke exposure, and tobacco waste harms the environment. On May 21, 2025, the American Cancer Society and Shadow Hills Interact Club presented model ordinance language and evidence of health risks, directly informing this draft. City Attorney Steven Graham prepared the final ordinance text to ensure legal consistency and enforceability.

Chapter 33 of the Indio Municipal Code and repealing Section 33.123, to establish uniform procedures for the disposal of surplus City real and personal property.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council introduce first reading of Ordinance No. 1823, adding Sections 33.300–33.316 to Chapter 33 of the Indio Municipal Code and repealing Section 33.123, to establish uniform procedures for the disposal of surplus City real and personal property.

SUMMARY:

Ordinance No. 1823 establishes a clear, consistent procedure for identifying, declaring, soliciting, evaluating, and disposing of surplus City real and personal property. The ordinance provides for competitive solicitations (RFP/RFQ or sealed bid), permits Exclusive Negotiating Agreements where a demonstrated public benefit exists, sets Council approval thresholds for conveyances, and requires recordkeeping and public notice to ensure transparency and legal compliance. Adoption will allow the City to manage future property dispositions in a uniform, legally defensible manner while preserving flexibility for transactions that advance public objectives.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The City does not currently have a single, codified procedure for declaring and disposing of surplus real property. State law (the Surplus Land Act, Gov. Code §§54220–54234) prescribes notice, declaration, and priority rules that local disposal procedures must follow. This ordinance establishes a clear, transparent framework covering declaration, required notices, solicitation and evaluation processes, Exclusive Negotiating Agreements, Council approval thresholds, and recordkeeping to ensure future disposals comply with state law and sound public-policy practice.

STAFF REPORT

To: City Council
From: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager
Prepared by: Jonathan Nicks, Assistant City Manager
Subject: Draft Sustainability Plan and Work Plan 2025

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the draft Sustainability Plan and Work Plan 2025

SUMMARY:

In 2020, the City Council formally charged the Sustainability Commission with developing a Sustainability through sustainability promotes and water current unifies that Plan initiatives conservation, renewable energy, waste reduction, climate action, and public education. The draft 2025 Sustainability Plan and Work Plan includes new sections on Local Risks and two additional focus areas: Outreach and Resiliency & Mitigation. Each chapter includes objectives, project ideas, achievements, and work plan elements. The Plan also highlights efforts that facilitate sustainability and includes an emphasis on community education reflecting the Commission’s commitment to engagement.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The City of Indio’s Sustainability Commission was established in 2014 and held the first meeting in January 2015. In 2020, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1750, which formally outlined the duties of the Commission under §32.11 of the Indio Municipal Code. Among these responsibilities is the development and recommendation of a Sustainability Plan for adoption by the City Council. This Plan is intended to unify the City’s existing sustainability efforts, establish goals, and provide a long- term vision for promoting sustainability through water conservation, renewable resource use, climate action strategies, waste diversion, and community education.

The proposed 2025 Sustainability Plan and Work Plan features a newly expanded “Local Risks” section that integrates data and findings from the City’s 2024 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan.

Additionally, the Plan introduces a broader framework with two new focus areas: Outreach and Resiliency & Mitigation. Each chapter of the Plan outlines specific objectives, potential projects, work efforts sustainability incorporate to meant and It accomplishments. elements, plan is throughout the entire organization and highlights current initiatives that facilitate sustainability such as the Shop Local Program, Indio Lindo Beautification, and water conservation.

The Work Plan is meant to cover multiple years and includes ongoing and new projects. A central emphasis of the Plan is on community education and communication, reflecting the Sustainability Commission’s continued commitment to public engagement and awareness. Through this Plan, the AGENDA ITEM #12.3

The City Council created the Sustainability C ommission in 2014, and the C ommission held the first meeting on February 23, 2015. Shortly after , the Commission created the following mission statement:

The Indio Sustainability Commission is dedicated to contributing to a clean and healthy environment, preserving cultural and historic resources , promoting community engagement and creating a thriving economy.

In 2020, The City Council approved Ordinance 1750 which included § 32.12 Sustainability Commission Establishment and Duties that specifically tasked the commission to develop and recommend for adoption by the City Council a Sustainability Plan. The Commissioners understood that sustainability is a vast and complex target, and that learning from experts is an important part of building sustainability programs and plans.

With that understanding there have been many distinguished speakers from different organizations throughout the course of the Commission meetings including the Coachella Valley Association of Governments, Electrify America, Global Green, students from Indio High School, SoCalGas, GRID Alternatives and CalRecycle.

The C ommission actively considers projects, grants, partnerships and policy recommendations that advance sustainability goals.

Draft Sustainability Plan and Work Plan 2025 (Sara Toyoda, Environmental... Page 341 of 381 2 Community and Sustainable Cities
This plan update underscores the commission’s commitment to communication as a fundamental principle of sustainability. Sustainability commissioners recognize that education and outreach are essential for strengthening the partnership between municipal programs and residents. Clear guidance, accessible resources, and effective education ensure that residents are aware of available programs and can fully participate. At the same time, residents play a vital role in driving changes through recycling, conservi ng energy and water, reducing waste, and supporting green initiatives.

City governments are uniquely positioned to advance sustainability by directly influencing key areas such as green spaces, tree canopies, waste management, and water conservation. Through supportive policies and infrastructure, including water -saving incentives, the Shop Local initiative, and the Indio Lindo beautification program, the city makes sustainable choices more accessible and impactful.

Sustainability is driven by small, everyday choices—turning off lights, reducing single-use plastics, conserving water, or shopping locally. While these actions may seem minor on their own, their collective impact is powerful. When individuals make sustainable choices, they drive demand for greener products, influence policy changes, and inspire others to do the same. Over time, these efforts add up, reducing carbon footprints, improving air quality, and preserving natural resources.

Education is central to this collaboration and should be a two-way dialogue. City outreach should include opportunity for resident feedback used to refine sustainability programs, ensuring they remain effective and relevant. Resident feedback is essential in prioritizing sustainability efforts, ensuring that initiatives align with the real needs and concerns of the community. Engaging directly with residents allows for a deeper understanding of local environmental challenges and helps shape more effective, equitable solutions.

Commissioners have advised that this year, the Plan should include a stronger focus on resident input and to more fully integrate this into future work plans. Without structured mechanisms to incorporate community perspectives, sustainability efforts risk overlooking key priorities or missing opportunities for greater impact. Moving forward, it is crucial to create meaningful pathways for resident voices to guide decision- making, ensuring that sustainability initiatives truly serve those they aim to benefit.

Lasting change depends on collective action. By working together, the city and its residents can reduce carbon footprints, improve air quality, and build a healthier, more resilient environment.

Page 5 of 31 ends

Draft Sustainability Plan and Work Plan 2025 (Sara Toyoda, Environmental... Page 342 of 381 3 Process
The commission began the process of developing a Sustainability Plan by considering other plans that have been developed for the City including the General Pl an 2040, Climate Action Plan and Complete Streets. These plans have been through robust public engagement and contain multiple actions that affect sustainability in Indio either directly or indirectly. The first Sustainability Plan was approved by City Council on October 5, 2023.

This plan lists possible projects to move toward sustainability and these projects are a mix of actions taken from these previous city plans and ideas discussed in the commission. Where actions are taken directly from previous plans that have been adopted by the city, a reference to that plan is included using the following notations:

CAP Climate Action Plan
GPU General Plan 2040
CS Complete Streets
TCC Transformative Climate Communities Plan
LHMP Local Hazard Mitigation Plan

New regulations that mandate food waste diversion, renewable energy standards and water conservation goals were also considered. Although these measures are mandated, they advance the city toward sustainability and require strategy, time and investment.

The Sustainability Commission recognizes that partnerships with other organizations working on similar initiatives enhances city efforts. This Plan is meant to compile sustainability efforts as well as provide goals and visions for a sustainable city.

Incorporating parallel efforts toward sustainability from outside entities is essential in understanding and incorporating new science and innovative solutions for sustainability .

The Commission follows and considers the work of many organizations including:

AB617 addresses air pollution impacts in environmental justice communities including the Eastern Coachella Valley (ECV). The ECV community produced the Community Emissions Reduction Plan in 2021.

Clean Cities Coachella Valley hosted by SunLine Transit Agency

C40 Cities provide information and showcase solutions that cities are implementing to limit climate change.

SB375 prompts California regions to work together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from cars and light trucks.

Extreme Heat
Indio has been experiencing a progressive increase in the number of extreme heat days per year, with temperatures on those days often exceeding the local extreme heat threshold of 112.1°F. The heat, especially when combined with other aspects of Indio’s desert environment, pose significant risks to health, safety and infrastructure. The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan provides more in -depth information on extreme heat. “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.” (Visyak, 202 3) Indio and surrounding areas comprise a unique urbanized desert area where increased heat is a critical local risk.

Page 9 of 31 ends

Draft Sustainability Plan and Work Plan 2025 (Sara Toyoda, Environmental... Page 346 of 381 7 Drought
Water resources are an important consideration, especially in a desert region. As climate change alters precipitation patterns, sustainable water becomes more and more critical.

This Plan includes a chapter on water resources however, more in depth water resource management can be found in the 2022 Indio Subbasin Water Management Plan Update and the 2018 Coachella Valley Integrated Regional Water Management and Stormwater Resource Plan. In Indio, water is a vital risk factor for sustainability.

Flood
Rain in the desert is always appreciated; however, local flood risks are a reality that requires consideration. The City of Indio experiences flooding challenges due to specific problem areas within its urban environment. These issues stem from the complex interaction between roadways, flood control channels, and stormwater drains, which complicates the management of runoff during heavy rainfall . (Visyak, 2023 ) As climate change affects weather patterns, heavy rain fall and periods of drought become less predictable and arrive more frequently. Air Quality Indio is located within the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) which is the agency responsible for improving air quality in parts of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sets national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for some air pollutants and air quality districts must meet the standards or execute an approved plan to meet the standards within specific time frames.

Air Quality
The Coachella Valley meets most NAAQS however, this area Valley is in extreme nonattainment for the 1997 8- hour O zone standard of 0.08 ppm despite significant improvements over the years. Gas and diesel powered vehicles emit nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that mix with heat and sunlight to produce Ozone. Reducing vehicle emissions is an effective way to lower Ozone pollution, however, t he primary source of the ozone pollution detected in the Coachella Valley emanates from the South Coast Air Basin and is blown into the Valley by prevailing winds. (South Coast AQMD, 2020)

Draft Sustainability Plan and Work Plan 2025 (Sara Toyoda, Environmental... Page 347 of 381 8 Limitations of the Plan

Sustainability touches nearly every aspect of city operations and extends well beyond municipal boundaries. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outline 17 interconnected global objectives, including ending poverty, ensuring quality education, and achieving zero hunger and this reflects the broad scope of sustainability.

Throughout the development of this Plan, Commissioners have explored a wide range of issues, including the unequal impacts of climate change, affordable housing, and the wellbeing of both wild and domesticated animals. While these are critical components of sustainability, this Plan remains intentionally focused to align with the Commission’s scope and priorities. As such, it does not provide recommendations for every sustainability-related issue.

However, this narrower focus does not constrain the City’s broader sustainability efforts.

Many of the topics raised by the Commission are being addressed through the City’s General Plan Update and other planning efforts. All City departments share both the opportunity and responsibility to pursue initiatives that advance sustainability across the community.

Draft Sustainability Plan and Work Plan 2025 (Sara Toyoda, Environmental... Page 348 of 381 9 Framework
The commission considered outlines and information from several other sustainability and climate actions plans including the Los Angeles Green New Deal, Palm S prings Sustainability Plan and the Michigan Climate Action Plan A2Zero.

After careful consideration, the commission agreed on an outline that is very close to the Indio Climate Action Plan with five primary goals that organize the Plan, however, many of the projects can achieve more than one goal. Through the years, the commission identified an increasing importance in outreach and resiliency, and these are added to the goals in this update. The seven goals are:

1. Clean Energy

2. Low Greenhouse Gas Environment

3. Zero Waste

4. Water Resources

5. Sustainable Environment, Land Use and Transportation

6. Outreach

7. Resiliency and Mitigation
For each main goal, the Plan includes a chapter with information about objectives and projects. Accomplishments that the city has already made toward those goals are also included. Sustainability cannot be achieved through city efforts alone and there are many Indio residents who are involved in sustainability efforts . To increase these efforts, the plan also includes information on what residents can do to support the seven goals.

Mandates:

Making Conservation a California Way of Life Regulation

Effective January 1, 2025, t hese regulations apply to urban water suppliers such as the Indio Water Authority and aim to increase water efficiency and reduce the need for emergency water restrictions during droughts. It requires urban water suppliers to annually calculate and comply with urban water use objectives, carry out commercial, industrial and institutional performance measures and provide progress reports. The regulation is expected to reduce inefficient water use in the urban sector.

SB 555

Senate Bill 555 was adopted during a
drought in 2015 and requires urban retail
water suppliers like the Indio Water
Authority to complete water loss audits
that estimate how much water is lost from
the system through leaks or breaks.

Water suppliers can increase water
supply by reducing water loss. Individual
water loss standards have been
developed for each urban retailer and
those standards must be met by 2028.

Non-Functional Turf Bill AB1572

The bill was passed to reduce water
waste and promote water conservation.

The Indio Water Authority has the responsibility to provide clean, reliable and safe water as the city expands and maintain long term water supply. It is an especially complex task in a desert region. IWA does this through robust conservation programs and cooperation with other local water providers.

Draft Public Arts Work Plan FY 25/26

SUMMARY
The Draft Public Arts Work Plan FY 25/26 (“the Plan”) outlines carry-over from the previous year(s) and five (5) new project for FY 25/26.

The overall budget for this Work Plan is $ 765,800, covering six (6) approved projects and five (5) new projects. Projects will be executed based on available funds and priority. Any budgetary changes will require review by the Public Arts Commission and approval by the City Council, as recommended by the Public Arts Commission to the City Manager and/or City Council.

BACKGROUND
The City of Indio recognizes the valuable role that public art plays in enhancing the quality of life in the community. Public arts have the power to transform a space into an active environment to inspire community engagement and celebrate the unique character of Indio. Public art projects are a great tool to build stronger connections between people in the community that could result in community-gathering places.

The Plan outlines carry-over from the previous year(s) and new projects for two consecutive fiscal years. The projects will be completed based on priorities and availability of funds. The Plan proposes an overall budget, brief description, proposed location, recommended type of artist selection process, and anticipated completion date.

The Plan focuses on clear visionary directions and decision- making processes for the Program.

This proposed work plan will focus on prioritizing artists based in Indio and the greater Coachella Valley. To achieve this, the City will circulate a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) aimed at building a database of local artists eligible for direct commissions. This approach will not only streamline the timeline from project initiation to completion but also reinforce the City’s commitment to recognizing and supporting local artistic talent.

Any budgetary changes to the plan will be recommended by the Public Arts Commission to the City Manager and/or the City Council for review and approval.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), continuing administrative activities, such as what is recommended in the Plan do not constitute a “project.” [CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(2)]

provisions for the acquisition of artwork from Goldenvoice, specifically works utilized at the annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. The purchase of such artwork shall be contingent upon the prior approval of the Public Arts Commission and the appropriation of funds by the City Council, in accordance with the City’s Public Arts Fund and the Arts in Public Places Program.
