Turf Grass Summary
SilverRock Resort

June 4, 2024
28 History
SilverRock Resort Golf Course was built in 2004 & opened in early 2005 3 other golf courses were built & opened approximately same time frame in the Coachella Valley; Classic Club, Stone Eagle & Shadow Hills All 4 courses were planted with a new hybrid Bermuda Grass, TifSport It was soon discovered that TifSport Grass did not transition very well in the summer months & created unplayable turf conditions for most of the summer Stone Eagle replaced their turf after 2 years of poor transitions and conditions The other 3 courses including SilverRock have done their best to manage the summer months but it remains an issue each summer
With 2 Luxury Hotels eventually opening at SilverRock, summer turf conditions need to be improved

31 61
62 June 4, 2024
32 Options & Solutions
Continue to manage the TifSport Bermuda & experience poor summer transition conditions.
Replace the TifSport Bermuda with a new variant of Bermuda that transitions faster, tolerates overseeding, holds it color year round (possibly eliminate overseeding) and is drought tolerate. These new Bermuda variants are Coachella, TifTuf & MiniVerde).
63 64
June 4, 2024
33 Landmark Recommendation
PLANT A TEST HOLE - Replant hole #5 with a variety of the new Bermuda variants that have proven to transition faster, hold color year round, tolerates overseeding and has increased drought tolerance.
Hole #5 will be out of play this summer from July-August (6-8 weeks) The current hole #7 (Par 5) would be converted into two (2) holes, a short par 4 and a par 3 during the 6-8 week grow-in period or until hole #5 is ready for play The new turf on hole # 5, would not be overseeded this Fall and would be observed to see how it plays, looks, reacts to traffic over the 2024-2025 golf season. If successful, we could then look at replanting the other 17 holes in a similar fashion over a two (2) year summer plan
For example, Front 9- Summer 2025, Back 9 - Summer of 2026 Savings and Benefits
Potential Expense Savings (seed, water and labor) would be approximately $250,000 Annually
Increased Revenue from not closing the golf course for the entire month of October (31 days) to overseed, $400,000-500,000 Annually Net Positive Impact (Savings & Increased revenue) up to $750,000 Annually
Improved playing conditions year round with no spring/summer turf transition
Superior aesthetics and appearance from Hotel and Home sites Less down time for summer greens aerification and faster recovery Less Water Usage in Summer Months

B6 – Adoption of Local Hazard
Mitigation Plan
67 68
June 4, 2024
35 Background
• The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires local governments to adopt a pre-disaster mitigation plans.
• The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP): – Identifies the City’s Hazards. – Reviews and assess past disaster occurrences. – Estimates the probability of future occurrences and sets goals to mitigate potential risk.
Key Hazards
The LHMP identifies the following key hazards and their probability of future occurrences:
1. Earthquakes – the highest probability and severity rating due to potential city-wide impacts.
2. Floods – high probability and critical severity rating in localized areas that experience flash flooding.
3. Extreme Weather – high probability and critical severity rating due to summer temperatures that average over 100°F (with occasional highs above 120°F) as well as wind events.
4. Drought – some probability and critical severity rating when coupled with high summer temperatures.
69 70
June 4, 2024
36 LHMP Goals
The LHMP outlines the following goals to reduce or mitigate risk:
Goal 1: Complete mitigation policies and strategies contained in the La Quinta General Plan.
Goal 2: Utilizing grant funds and agencies funded by FEMA to continue training staff, and purchase supplies for emergency preparedness.
Goal 3: Continue to train and educate the public and business community through CERT program.
Goal 4: Encourage pet owners, individuals with access and functional needs, and residents with specialized individual needs to preplan.
Goal 5: Enlist the support of individuals, and community groups to support and promote CERT as well as encourage self resiliency.
Mitigation Funding Opportunities
The City of La Quinta has the same funding opportunities as Riverside County Operational Area. The LHMP is required to receive any funding.
Measure A – Money used to maintain and construct local streets and roads.
