STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AGREEMENT FOR CONTRACT

SERVICES WITH ACTION PARK ALLIANCE FOR MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS

OF THE LA QUINTA X-PARK

RECOMMENDATION
Approve Amendment No. 1 to Agreement for Contract Services with Action Park Alliance for management and seven-day operations year-round of the La Quinta X-Park, extending the term for two additional years, through June 30, 2028, for a total not to exceed amount of $1,112,819; and authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 Since October 2021, the City has partnered with Action Park Alliance (APA) to oversee operations at the La Quinta X Park (Park).
 APA has demonstrated success in operating the Park, delivering quality programs and events, maintaining a safe environment, and keeping the facility well maintained.
 On May 5, 2026, Council approved amending APA’s Agreement for Contract Services to extend the term for two additional years and to expand to seven-day operations year-round, which is reflected in Amendment No. 1 (Attachment 1).

FISCAL IMPACT
Costs for the expanded Park operations to seven-days per week year-round for the twoyear extended term are detailed in the table below. A maximum of 5% or the local Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ontario areas, whichever is less is included for fiscal year (FY) 2027/28. Revenue generated by the Park will offset the annual expense of facility operations. Funding will be budgeted in the X-Park Programming Account No. 101-3003-60190.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The La Quinta X-Park is one of the premier action sports facilities in Southern California, featuring a combi bowl, pump track, street course, pro shop, and a variety of programming. In August 2021, the City issued a request for proposals for skatepark management services, and APA was identified as the most qualified operator based on its experience and expertise in action sports programming and facility management. On October 19, 2021, Council approved an initial one-year agreement with APA, and on May 2, 2023, a subsequent agreement for a three-year term ending June 30, 2026.

Since assuming operations, APA has maintained a safe, clean, and active facility while delivering programs and events that have increased public use and enhanced the Park's profile as a destination venue. Programming has included skate lessons, skate camps, and best trick contests, in addition to special events such as the WCMX World Championships and Hotwheels Superchargers. APA has also coordinated appearances by professional action sports athletes including Tony Hawk, Eddie Elguera, Steve Caballero, X Games Gold Medalist Leticia Bufoni, and the Red Bull Skate Team.

Since opening, the Park’s attendance has steadily increased, underscoring its growing popularity with residents and visitors. APA has helped drive this growth by managing the Park’s membership program, which averages between 1,500 and 2,100 users each month and has issued more than 2,000 annual memberships to date. Extending the agreement ensures uninterrupted park operations and allows APA to continue delivering high-quality events and programs at the Park, with plans already underway to expand and enhance future offerings.

On May 5, 2026, Council considered Amendment No. 1 and approved extending APA’s services for two additional years, as well as expanding to seven-day operations yearround. The amendment has been revised per Council’s direction above and the expanded hours are reflected in blue font in Exhibit A, which also provides for the ability to adjust hours of operations upon mutual agreement of both parties and executed in writing.

ALTERNATIVES
As Council approved proposed Amendment No. 1 to the agreement with APA on May 5, 2026, staff does not recommend an alternative.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: May 19, 2026

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 7 TO AB 2766 MEMORANDUM OF

UNDERSTANDING WITH THE COACHELLA VALLEY ASSOCIATION OF
GOVERNMENTS TO PROVIDE FUNDING FOR THE REGIONAL PM10 STREET

SWEEPING PROGRAM

RECOMMENDATION
Approve Amendment No. 7 to AB 2766 Memorandum of Understanding with the Coachella Valley Association of Governments to provide funding for the Regional PM10 Street Sweeping Program, through June 30, 2028.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 Since the early 1990s, the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) and its member agencies have cooperated on a Regional PM10 Street Sweeping Program through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The City entered into an MOU with CVAG in 2010 to provide funding for the street sweeping program.  The street sweeping program is currently funded by two main sources:
(1) reallocation of a portion of Assembly Bill (AB) 2766 (Stats. 1990, Ch. 1705, § 1) funds dispersed to jurisdictions based on vehicle license plate registration renewals, and (2) Grant funding from the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD).
 The current MOU between the City, CVAG, and its member jurisdictions is set to expire on June 30, 2026. The proposed Amendment No. 7 (Attachment 1) increases the City’s contribution of AB 2766 funds to 100% for the next 2 years, through June 30, 2028.

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed Amendment No. 7 to the MOU was approved by the CVAG Executive Committee on December 1, 2025 (Attachment 2), to increase the City’s contribution of AB 2766 funds to 100% for a 2-year period, through June 30, 2028, to cover the cost of additional sweeping of the CV Link and the loss of funding from the Coachella Valley Air Quality Enhancement Fund managed by Riverside County (Colmac Air Quality Enhancement Funds).

CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 3
25 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Since the early 1990s, CVAG and its member agencies have cooperated on the Regional PM10 Street Sweeping Program. The program is the best available control measure to reduce PM10 (particulate matter of less than 10 microns in size) by removing sand and entrained dust from regional streets in the Coachella Valley. The goal of the program is to improve air quality and public health by decreasing fugitive PM10 emissions attributed to construction and entrained roadway dust and sand pulverized by vehicles and then suspended into the air.

The City entered into an MOU with CVAG and its member agencies in 2010 to provide funding for the program.

The street sweeping program is currently funded by the reallocation of a portion of AB 2766 funds dispersed to individual jurisdictions based on vehicle license plate renewals and grant funding from SCAQMD. The AB 2766 Vehicle Subvention funds dispersed to the City by SCAQMD are generated by a surcharge on annual DMV fees and must be used to reduce air pollution generated by motor vehicles.

In previous years when funding from other sources fluctuated, AB 2766 contributions from the City ranged from 33% to 100%. Since June 2020, the jurisdictional contribution level remained at 75%, however, with the ending of the Colmac Air Quality Enhancement Funds agreement in June 2025, due to the closing of the Colmac Energy biomass plant located in Mecca, and the additional sweeping of CV Link, the proposed Amendment No. 7 would increase the City’s contribution of AB 2766 funds to 100% for the next two years, through June 30, 2028. The goal is to ensure the program remains fully funded and that service levels are maintained valley-wide through a simplified, collaborative funding structure.

CVAG is circulating identical MOU Amendments to all participating member agencies for approval by their respective governing bodies.

ALTERNATIVES
Council may elect not to approve Amendment No. 7; however, staff does not recommend this alternative as the MOU allows the City to maintain PM10 requirements.

ITEM 13J
Coachella Valley Association of Governments
Executive Committee
December 1, 2025

STAFF REPORT
Subject: Contract Amendment for the Regional PM10 Street Sweeping Program Contact: Julie Mignogna, Transportation Program Manager ([email protected]) Recommendation: Authorize the Executive Director to:

1. Execute Amendment No. 1 to the services contract with Sweeping Corporation of America for regional street sweeping services, adding an additional $279,311 a year and extending through December 31, 2027;

2. Take the necessary steps to secure additional funding for the program, including funding from South Coast Air Quality Management District and the County of Riverside

3. Execute Amendment No. 7 to the AB 2766 Vehicle Registration Revenue Memorandum of Understanding with each jurisdiction, increasing the funding contribution from 75 to 100 percent and extending the term through June 30, 2028 Transportation Committee: Concurred (Meeting of November 3) Energy & Sustainability Committee: Concurred (Meeting of November13) Background: The Regional PM10 Street Sweeping program is an air quality program focused on addressing PM10 (particulate matter less than 10 microns in size) by removing sand and entrained dust from regional streets in the Coachella Valley. Because the Coachella Valley is in non-attainment for PM10, the program is part of the Coachella Valley’s State Implementation Plan (SIP) and is a best available control measure. The goal of the program is to improve air quality and public health by decreasing fugitive PM10 emissions attributed to entrained roadway dust and sand that can pulverized by vehicles and then suspended into the air.

In 2022, CVAG conducted a study of the regional street sweeping program as part of a South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) grant agreement. The study was conducted to identify additional ways to make the program more impactful for the Coachella Valley. The study found the program to be effective in addressing PM10 emissions, and it provided several recommendations.

These recommendations were included in the regional street sweeping contract that the Executive Committee authorized on December 25, 2022 with CleanStreet, now Sweeping Corporation of America (SCA). The contract was authorized to be three years in duration ending on December 31, 2025, with the option to renew for up to two additional years.

Under the contract, SCA is responsible for sweeping on a bi-weekly basis 1,050 curb miles of regional arterials in the Coachella Valley. Of those, 977 miles are regular streets and 73 miles are special impact streets. Special impact streets, like Dinah Shore Drive, may be swept more often based on need, particularly during the Coachella Valley’s windy season from February through May.

The existing contract also included a provision for sweeping the CV Link once construction is completed, although the budget for that work was not included in the 2022 contract because CV Link ATTACHMENT 2 28 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
was still under construction. The chart below shows the annual linear curb miles to be swept for each type as part of the proposed amendment.

Item Description Unit
Estimated Annual
Quantity
Regular Street Sweeping Linear Curb Miles 23,878
Special Impact Streets Linear Curb Miles 1,898
Palm Springs Hwy 111 Linear Curb Miles 1,524
CV Link Linear Miles 1,600
CVAG staff have worked with member jurisdictions’ staff and SCA to focus on the program and enhance its performance over the past 15 months. As a result, member agencies are more engaged and have access to sweeping performance data. SCA has responded by increasing the service levels, particularly following Tropical Storm Hilary in 2023 and the ensuing months of increased blowsand and fugitive dust experienced by the Coachella Valley. This focus has increased monthly sweeping costs due to special impact roadways throughout the valley being swept more frequently in response to the additional blowsand and fugitive dust. Approximately $130,530 of the proposed cost increase can be attributed to service level increases.

To continue with this level of service, CVAG staff, based on feedback from the public works staff at the municipal agencies, is recommending Amendment No. 1 to the SCA contract. The amendment will extend the contract term to December 31, 2027 and increase the annual contract amount to continue the more frequent sweeping of special impact streets. The recommended amendment also adds additional budget to account for a five percent increase of fuel and waste disposal process costs and to incorporate the cost of sweeping the CV Link bi-weekly. The five percent increase accounts for approximately $66,380 of the recommended contract increase. The recommended authorization would also authorize the Executive Director and/or Legal Counsel to make clarifying changes prior to execution.

Fiscal Analysis: The proposed SCA contract Amendment No. 1 will add $279,311 a year, increasing the total annual cost of the program from $763,573.96 to $1,042,884.96. The total not to exceed contract amount will increase to $4,655,802.80. There are sufficient accumulated AB 2766 funds available for the additional program costs for Fiscal Year 2025-26. The estimated $82,400 annual cost for the CV Link sweeping services will be funded by regional transportation funds.

In addition to recommending an amendment to the SCA contract, CVAG staff is recommending two authorizations related to the program’s funding. CVAG and municipal staff are also reviewing alternatives to maintain the regional street sweeping program at the current service levels in the future. The primary source of funding for the regional street sweeping program comes from AB 2766 Vehicle Subvention funds the member agencies receive each year. Member agencies direct 75 percent of their AB 2766 funds to the regional street sweeping program, which amounts to approximately $450,000 per year. Additional funding sources for the program include a SCAQMD grant that funds $220,000 per year through June 2026, and $27,000 per year from the City of Palm Springs for sweeping 27 curb miles of Highway 111 in the city. 29 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
The street sweeping program had included in prior years funding from the Colmac Air Quality Enhancement Funds through the County of Riverside at $150,000 per year. The Colmac funding agreement ended in June 2025 due to the closing of the Coman Energy biomass plant located in Mecca; however, some funding remains available for the program. CVAG staff is currently coordinating with SCAQMD and the County of Riverside to secure continued SCAQMD and Colmac funding. Should a funding source be secured, staff is requesting authorization for the Executive Director to enter into any necessary agreements with SCAQMD, the County of Riverside or another project partner.

CVAG staff is also recommending that the Executive Director be authorized to enter into amendments to the MOUs with local jurisdictions. CVAG is also coordinating with the cities quarterly as part of the Regional Street Sweeping Program Ad Hoc Committee. Over the years, the AB 2766 funding contribution from the jurisdictions has varied based on the regional street sweeping program’s funding needs. The contribution percentage has ranged from 60 to 100%. Due to the end of Colmac funding and SCAQMD grant term expiring in June 2026, an adjustment to the jurisdiction’s AB2766 contribution is needed. With this authorization, CVAG staff will coordinate with member agency staff to amend the existing AB 2766 MOUs to allocate 100 percent of each jurisdiction’s AB 2766 contribution to the regional street sweeping program. The goal is to ensure the program remains fully funded and that service levels are maintained valleywide through a simplified, collaborative funding structure. Staff recommends that the term of the MOUs also be extended for two additional years, through June 30, 2028, with the increase in AB2766 funding contributions becoming effective on July 1, 2026.

Additional Funding Information Since Policy Committees’ Review In the weeks since this item was presented to the Transportation Committee and the Energy & Sustainability Committee, staff has received positive funding news. SCAQMD is recommending a one-year extension of the existing grant funding for the Regional PM₁₀ Street Sweeping Program, providing an additional $220,000 through June 30, 2027. While this supplemental funding will help mitigate the current program funding shortfall and extend the remaining AB 2766 fund balance through Fiscal Year 2026-27, it will not fully address the program’s long-term structural deficit.

Beginning in Fiscal Year 2027-28, the program is projected to operate at a deficit without additional revenue. Therefore, staff continues to recommend increasing the AB 2766 contribution from 75 percent to 100 percent to maintain service levels and ensure the program’s financial stability.

Should additional funding for the regional street sweeping program be secured, CVAG staff would reassess the need for this increased contribution from local jurisdictions.

City of La Quinta
CITY COUNCIL MEETING: May 19, 2026

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: APPROVE COMMUNITY CARD CUSTOMER AGREEMENT WITH

YIFTEE, INC FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SUBSIDY FOR SMALL BUSINESSES IN LA QUINTA FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026/27

RECOMMENDATION
Approve Community Card Customer Agreement with Yiftee, Inc. for economic development subsidy for small businesses in La Quinta for fiscal year 2026/27; and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 Yiftee, Inc. is a data-driven platform that specializes in community gift cards that can be spent anywhere in the City with participating retail and restaurant merchants.
 Yiftee acts as a digital “buy local” engine where every dollar is guaranteed to be spent at a local brick and mortar establishment.
 The City will create a $10,000 Shop Local matching funds campaign around summer months to foster community engagement and generate local sales tax revenue for small businesses.

FISCAL IMPACT
If approved, $10,000 will be allocated in fiscal year (FY) 2026/27 budget, in the Economic Development Marketing & Tourism Promotions account 247-0000-60461, to match participating dollars up to $50 per transaction and not to exceed $10,000 per FY.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
City staff worked with La Quinta small businesses to find additional resources to assist with a Shop Local campaign. Yiftee, Inc. has created a service that allows merchants to participate with minimal labor while delivering large results. The digital gift card works on the existing Mastercard network and does not require additional training, extra hardware, and very little onboarding time.

The City’s financial commitment to the program is an economic development incentive through “fund matching” up to $50 per transaction and per participant, with a total not to 31 CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 4

PULLED FROM CONSENT CALENDAR AND
CONSIDERED AS BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 1
CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
exceed $10,000 for the initial campaign in FY 2026/27. Every dollar the City invests in Yiftee, Inc. is locked in the local economy and only valid in La Quinta. Data shows that customers using a gift card often spend 20 – 50% more than the value of the card itself.

Under the proposed Shop Local e-gift card program, every matching bonus dollar contributed by the City can only be redeemed at participating La Quinta brick and mortar businesses that generate local sales tax revenue. As a result, the City’s matching funds are reinvested directly into the local economy rather than spent in other jurisdictions or through online retailers. By leveraging each City dollar into additional in-store spending, the program supports local businesses, jobs, and community services while helping strengthen the City’s sales tax base.

The City will determine an expiration date for the matching contribution, which can range from a month to a year. Upon expiration, any unspent premium funds will be refunded to the City’s account, minus 10% of the face value of each premium card that still has a balance. For example, if the City pledges $10,000 for the Shop Local campaign during the summer months (May – September) and only $5,000 of it is spent within the allocated period, the City will receive the remaining $5,000 back, minus 10% of the face value of any outstanding cards. The unused funds are refunded into the City’s account and can either be applied towards a future City campaign or refunded back to the City.

Yiftee, Inc. has partnered with the Cities of Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, and Palm Desert for the same services, and has successfully launched this program in multiple cities, including Sacramento, Murrieta, Berkeley, etc.

ALTERNATIVES
Council may choose not to approve the proposed agreement.

Community Card Customer Agreement
APPENDIX A - Pricing
Customer and Participants are not required to pay Yiftee a subscription fee or a revenue share.

Purchasers pay the face value of the card plus a $1+5% of the eGift Card value eDelivery fee at the time of purchase. Bulk purchases of one thousand dollars ($1000) or more, and enterprise accounts may, at Yiftee’s sole discretion, qualify for a reduced eDelivery fee by depositing funds into their Yiftee eGifting accounts by check or ACH and disabling credit cards. The ability for Customer or a sponsor to pay the eDelivery fee is available.

Participants receive full value of redemptions less credit card processing fees upon redemption. Yiftee does not control these fees; they are set by the Merchant Acquirer who is their credit card processor.

Where permitted by law, Yiftee will implement a monthly maintenance fee on purchased eGift Cards that have been inactive (i.e. no spending on the Card) for periods of greater than 12 consecutive months or longer if required by law.

Yiftee eGift Cards other than Bonus Gifts paid for by a sponsor (“BOGO Gifts”) do not generally expire.

Subject to applicable laws, Yiftee may offer two options to qualifying corporate or other organizational buyers (not available for individual consumer purchase), only where the recipient has not given any money or other thing of value in exchange for the eGift and when the eGift Cards are distributed to a consumer pursuant to an awards, loyalty, incentive, or promotional program. Qualifying organizations may choose these options depending on their use of the eGift Card program. "Reward Cards" or “Patron Cards” are offered at face value, waving standard eDelivery fees. They expire in one year and no refund of unused amounts will be given. "Event Cards" have a short expiration period, require that the purchaser pay eDelivery fees, and the Purchaser may receive a rebate of the unspent balance less a restocking fee to Yiftee of 25% of the original eGift Card value not to exceed the remaining unspent funds. eDelivery fees are not refunded. Expiring eGift Cards do not incur maintenance fees. Yiftee is permitted to contract with any entity to provide different pricing structures than the above for gifts given as promotions, rewards or awards.
“BOGO Gifts” or “Bonus Gifts” are promotional gifts that are awarded to qualifying Purchasers participating in a “Buy One Get One” program. The Bonus Gifts and their associated eDelivery fees are generally funded by Customer or a third party sponsor and have an expiration date and terms that are determined by Customer. Upon expiration, Customer may receive a rebate of the unspent balance less a restocking fee to Yiftee of 25% of the original eGift Card value not to exceed the remaining unspent funds. eDelivery fees are not refunded. Additional terms apply. 38 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
Yiftee Community Card Customer Agreement, Revised 2025-10-30 Participants may choose, at their discretion, to post Offers to encourage Purchasers to use their Community Cards in their stores.

Participants may choose, at their discretion, to offer rebates as fund raisers to local groups such as schools, churches and other non-profits. Such programs are an incentive for the local groups to sell Community Cards to their members, and for the Purchasers to use them in specific stores who are offering rebates. Yiftee will work with the Participants and Purchasers to execute such programs.

No tipping is allowed on Yiftee eGift Cards.

The maximum and minimum prices of gifts are determined by Yiftee in its sole discretion. 39 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: May 19, 2026

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: APPROVE PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS, ENGINEER’S ESTIMATE,

AND ADVERTISE FOR BID THE CITYWIDE MISCELLANEOUS CONCRETE IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT NO. 2024-06

RECOMMENDATION
Approve plans, specifications, and engineer’s estimate, and authorize staff to bid the Citywide Miscellaneous Concrete Improvements Project No. 2024-06.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 The Citywide Miscellaneous Concrete Improvements project (Project) is located at three general locations (Attachment 1):
 Reconstruct curb ramps, sidewalk, and driveways south of Calle Sinaloa and Eisenhower Drive intersection.
 Reconstruct curb ramp southwest of Calle Sinaloa and Avenida Villa intersection.
 Install an under sidewalk drainpipe and adjust the flow pattern in the parkway bio-retention southeast of Calle Sinaloa and Avenida Navarro intersection.  These improvements will mitigate drainage issues and will bring existing facilities into compliance with current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards and City design criteria.

FISCAL IMPACT
Fiscal Year (FY) 2024/2025 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) allocated $1,000,000 of General Funds to this Project. The following is the overall Project budget:

Overall Budget Phase 1
Design/Professional: $ 132,500 $ 35,000
Construction: $ 700,000 $ 160,000
Inspection/Testing/Survey: $ 67,500 $ 20,000
Contingency: $ 100,000 $ 20,000
Total Budget: $ 1,000,000 $ 235,000
CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 5
41 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The City implements ongoing citywide concrete improvement projects as part of its CIP to address aging infrastructure, ADA compliance, and localized safety needs within the public right-of-way.

Through routine inspections and field evaluations, staff has identified areas where existing facilities no longer meet current standards or have deteriorated due to age, weathering, and regular use. These deficiencies can create challenges for pedestrian mobility and may increase long-term maintenance needs if not addressed in a timely manner. Low spots in concrete surfaces have been identified which is causing water ponding during rain events.

The bio-retention parkway southeast of Calle Sinaloa and Avenida Navarro has a curb opening to allow water to flow into the bio-retention system. During the Complete Streets Project construction, an under sidewalk drainpipe that connects two bio-retention areas separated by the bike ramp was not installed per plan causing water to back up and pond in the gutter adjacent to the curb opening
This Project is part of the City’s broader effort to systematically maintain and upgrade pedestrian infrastructure, with an emphasis on improving accessibility in accordance with current ADA requirements. Addressing these needs proactively allows the City to improve overall pedestrian use and ensure consistency with adopted design standards.

This is the first phase of the broader Citywide Miscellaneous Concrete Improvements Project.

Contingent upon approval to advertise the Project for bid on May 19, 2026, the following is estimated to be the project schedule:

Council Bid Authorization May 19, 2026
Bid Period May 20, 2026 to June 18, 2026
Council Considers Project Award July 7, 2026
Execute Contract and Mobilize July 8 to July 22, 2026
Construction (20 Working Days) August 2026
Accept Improvements September 2026

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: May 19, 2026

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: AUTHORIZE THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT TO UTILIZE RED TERRA NURSERY TO PURCHASE UP TO $70,000 OF PLANT MATERIAL IN FISCAL YEAR 2025/26

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Public Works Department to utilize Red Terra Nursery to purchase up to $70,000 of plant material in fiscal year 2025/26.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 Per the City’s Purchasing and Contracting Policy (Policy), amounts paid to vendors/contractors over $50,000 must be approved by Council.  Staff requests authorization to utilize Red Terra Nursery (Red Terra) to purchase up to $70,000 of plant material in fiscal year (FY) 2025/26.

FISCAL IMPACT
The $70,000 would be charged in increments, as needed, to the appropriate account(s) should Council approve the request. Funds for purchases are budgeted in the Lighting and Landscape (Account No. 215-7004-60431) and Parks (Account No. 101-3005-60431) materials/supplies accounts.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Policy requires Council approval for purchases and/or contracts over $50,000. In FY 2025/26, the City purchased over $45,000 in plant materials from Red Terra Nursery for plant replacement in center medians, parkways, and parks.

Red Terra Nursery provides quality plant material with a wide selection of plants. They provide delivery at no cost, and their prices for plants and trees are typically lower than other nurseries. Staff will continue to compare prices and material selections to obtain the best value and quality materials to be used in landscape renovations.

Future landscape restoration projects in FY 2025/26 may include the center medians and east side parkway on Washington Street between Avenue 50 to Sagebrush, as well as plant replacement throughout City parks, parkways, and medians.

This spending authority would allow maintenance projects in City medians, parkways, and parks to continue without interruptions to scheduled work.

CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 6

ALTERNATIVES
Staff could request approval from Council for any future purchases from Red Terra Nursery on a per project basis. However, this approach would delay work schedules.

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: RECEIVE AND FILE THIRD QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2025/26 TREASURY REPORTS FOR JANUARY, FEBRUARY, AND MARCH 2026

RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the third quarter fiscal year 2025/26 Treasury Reports for January, February, and March 2026.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Commentary and Summary of Significant Activity
The total book value of the portfolio increased approximately $11.25 million from $289.1 million at the end of December to $300.4 million at the end of March. In addition to normal operations, strong sales, and transient occupancy tax receipts, the increase can be partially attributed to property tax revenues, including redevelopment trust fund distributions, and the in-lieu motor vehicle fees payment. The portfolio is within policy limits for total allocation by type and is also within policy guidelines for investment ratings. The chart below shows the portfolio policy compliance as measured in market value.

The total market value of the portfolio increased $10.21 million from $290.2 million in December to $300.4 million in March. This variance differs from the book value increase due to market valuation fluctuations in response to interest rates. Utilizing short-term funds for liquidity needs eliminates circumstances which might require the sale of longerCONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 7 47 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
term investments at unfavorable prices, and therefore the City remains unaffected by these market fluctuations.

Treasury Rates
Portfolio Returns
The annualized total rate of return averaged 3.59% for the quarter and the portfolio yield to maturity was 3.63%. Total interest received for the quarter was $2.35 million.

City staff routinely evaluates liquidity needs while also monitoring market trends. We are closely watching the treasury market, which continues to experience yield fluctuations as the market tries to predict the Fed movement. We are continuing to utilize the California Asset Management Program (CAMP) pool, and the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) depending on yield movement. The City also continues to use a sweep function on both our operating account and our custody bank cash account, whereby funds are placed into highly-rated government funds (Invesco Treasury Portfolio – ticker TYCXX and First American Treasury Fund – ticker FUZXX) that earn interest until such time that money is reinvested or used for operations.

Throughout the quarter, three federal agency bonds, six treasuries, one corporate bond and four Certificates of Deposits (CDs) matured, and two federal agency bonds were called.

Four federal agency bonds, six treasuries, and three CDs were purchased. Maturities and purchases are listed in detail in Attachment 1.

Other Notes
Money market funds with the fiscal agent are bond proceeds subject to bond indentures, not the City’s investment policy. Successor Agency (SA) funds cannot be invested longterm; therefore, SA funds are only invested in LAIF.

Looking Ahead
The Treasurer follows a “buy and hold” Investment Policy, unless it is fiscally advantageous to actively trade outside of maturity dates. In the short term, the Treasurer will invest in Money Market/Mutual Funds, CAMP, LAIF, and U.S. Treasuries as needed. Longer term investments may include Government Sponsored Enterprise (agencies) securities, U.S.

Treasuries, Corporate Notes, and Negotiable Certificates of Deposits. All investments recognize both immediate and long-term cash flow needs, and there is sufficient liquidity in the portfolio to meet expenditure requirements for the next six months.

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: DISCUSS FISCAL YEAR 2026/27 PRELIMINARY PROPOSED BUDGET

RECOMMENDATION
Discuss the fiscal year 2026/27 preliminary proposed budget.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 This first budget study session focuses on the General Fund and Internal Service Funds.

2026/27 PROPOSED BUDGET
STUDY SESSION #1
The first budget study session is designed to provide an overview of the General Fund and four Internal Service Funds (ISF’s). Special Revenue, Capital, and Enterprise Funds will be presented on June 10, 2026. Exhibit A includes proposed revenue and expenditure details for all General Fund and Internal Service Funds.

The FY 2026/27 proposed budget reflects the City’s continued commitment to maintaining strong financial stability while investing in the services, infrastructure, and amenities that support the community’s quality of life. The budget prioritizes essential City services, ongoing maintenance of public facilities and streets, and advancement of key capital improvement projects, including the Cultural Campus and Maintenance & Operations Yard. Through careful financial planning and conservative budgeting practices, the City is strategically utilizing available resources, including Measure G reserves, to accelerate important community projects while remaining responsive to changing economic conditions. This approach allows the City to continue delivering high-quality services and investing in the community’s future in a fiscally responsible manner.

The proposed General Fund budget reflects a projected surplus of $51,265, driven by cautious revenue growth assumptions and expenditure projections that align with departmental operational needs. A key factor in balancing the budget is the strategic use of $2 million in Measure G reserves to accelerate capital improvement projects, including the Cultural Campus and Maintenance & Operations Yard, allowing projects originally planned across multiple fiscal years to move forward on an expedited timeline.

The budget provides resources for public safety, daily operations, and capital improvements for the upcoming fiscal year. Projections are anticipated to change prior to budget adoption. The final proposed budget will be structurally balanced.

REVENUES
The City’s revenue estimates for FY 2026/27 represent a $3,907,654 decrease over the revised FY 2025/26 projections. The primary driver of the decrease is the recognition of approximately $5 million in one-time American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding included in the prior year, which is not budgeted in FY 2026/27. Excluding the one-time ARPA funding, projected revenues reflect an overall increase of approximately $1,085,850 over the prior year, primarily driven by continued strength in tax revenues, intergovernmental revenues, and investment earnings.

Revenues by category are summarized below:

The FY 2026/27 revenue outlook reflects a more moderate pace of economic activity, with several key General Fund revenue sources projected to remain relatively flat or experience slight declines compared to prior years. While the City continues to maintain a strong and stable financial position through conservative fiscal management, broader economic factors, including inflation, changing consumer spending patterns, and softer tourism-related activity, continue to create some uncertainty in revenue growth projections. The City’s primary revenue sources remain stable overall and continue to support essential services and community investments.

As economic conditions evolve, the City will continue to closely monitor revenues and maintain a disciplined approach to budgeting to help ensure long-term financial stability and flexibility.

Major General Fund revenues, such as property taxes, sales taxes, franchise fees, and transient occupancy taxes are projected by the Finance Department based on prior history, growth and inflation projections, and economic climate. Subject-matter experts such as the City’s sales tax consultant, the County Assessor, and regional and local economic forecasts also assist in the projection of revenues.

Taxes - The City’s top three revenue sources for the General Fund total $58,540,000 (or 63% of the total $92,769,600) and continue to be:
 Sales Taxes $28,750,000
 Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT) $15,525,000
 Property Taxes $14,265,000
Sales tax revenue is highly sensitive to economic conditions and reflects the factors that drive taxable sales, including unemployment levels, consumer confidence, per-capita income, tourism activity, and business investment. Based on the current fiscal year budget, sales tax revenue is anticipated to increase by approximately $150,000 and Measure G revenue by approximately General Fund Revenues 2025/26

$100,000, largely due to continued consumer spending activity, steady tourism-related economic activity, and the City’s resilient local economy despite ongoing economic uncertainty.

Property Tax revenues are based on a 1.0% levy on the assessed value of all real property.

Under the terms of Proposition 13, approved in California in 1978, annual increases in assessed value are capped at a maximum of 2% per year unless there is a change in ownership or new construction. Annual increases in assessed value are limited by either the California Consumer Price Index (CPI) or the 2% cap, whichever is less. Continued growth in property values and property sales within the City are expected to contribute to a modest increase of approximately $60,000 in property tax revenues for FY 2026/27.

The City of La Quinta imposes a Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) upon major hotel stays within the City boundaries at a rate of 11% and smaller hotels and short-term vacation rentals (STVR) at 10%. Major economic drivers for TOT revenue include room rates, average occupancy rates, and seasonal and non‐seasonal tourism. For FY 2026/27, overall TOT revenues are projected to decrease by approximately $90,000 compared to the current year estimate, reflecting a conservative approach in forecasting revenues amid evolving travel and consumer spending patterns.

Licenses & Permits – Overall revenues in this category are projected to increase modestly by approximately $54,800 for FY 2026/27 compared to the current year budget. The increase is primarily attributable to higher anticipated revenues in Public Works permits, conditional use permits, sign permits, and final landscaping plan review activity. These increases are partially offset by lower projected revenues in certain fire inspection fee categories, temporary use permits, and minor use permits. Overall, permit activity is expected to remain generally consistent with current trends.

Intergovernmental – The majority of revenues within this category are derived from fire service property taxes restricted for fire services. For FY 2026/27, intergovernmental revenues are projected to increase by approximately $250,000 compared to the current year budget, primarily due to higher anticipated fire service property tax revenues resulting from continued growth in assessed property valuations and Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) distributions. Based on current estimates provided by the County, the City is not anticipating the use of fire service reserves, consistent with the prior fiscal year.

Charges for Services – Revenues in this category are projected to decrease by approximately $76,950 for FY 2026/27 compared to the current year budget. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower anticipated Public Works development review fees and tentative tract map activity. These reductions are partially offset by modest increases in facility rentals, records management and digitization fees, planning compliance revenues, and administrative service fees. Overall, revenues are projected conservatively based on current development activity and service demand trends.

Fines & Assessments – Revenues in this category are projected to decrease by approximately $72,500 for FY 2026/27 compared to the current year budget. The decrease is primarily related to lower anticipated administrative citation revenues and reduced vehicle impound and motor vehicle code fine activity. These reductions are partially offset by increases in lot abatement revenues, miscellaneous fines, and false alarm fee revenues. Overall projections are based on recent collection trends and anticipated enforcement activity levels. 123 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
Use of Money & Property/Miscellaneous – The proposed budget reflects increased revenue from investment interest earnings, driven by the City’s long-term investments secured at favorable interest rates. This outcome highlights the effort and the importance placed on maintaining a strategic focus on long-term investments as a key component of the City’s financial resilience.

As of the close of the third quarter of FY 2025/26, the average portfolio rate of return was 3.54%, down from 3.66% in the prior year. Additional increases are anticipated from electric vehicle charging revenues, while lease revenue and other miscellaneous revenue sources are expected to remain generally consistent with the current year.

EXPENSES
City staff and management have continued to exercise fiscal responsibility, maintaining strong budget discipline and positioning the City to conclude the current fiscal year with projected savings. The FY 2026/27 proposed budget remains focused on maintaining high-quality City services while making strategic investments that support the community’s long-term needs and Council priorities. The budget includes targeted investments in staffing, infrastructure, public facilities, and community programs aimed at enhancing service delivery and preserving the City’s strong operational foundation.

A summary of expenditures by department is provided in the chart below, along with explanations for significant departmental variances. Citywide cost increases impacting departmental budgets include salary and benefit adjustments, CalPERS contribution rate increases, annual contract escalations, utility cost increases, and higher costs associated with goods, materials, and services.

Significant department adjustments include:

Marketing & Community Relations: The increase in this division is primarily due to the transfer of an additional position from the City Manager’s Office into the Marketing & Community Relations Division, resulting in higher salary and benefit costs. Additional increases are also included for promotional items, sponsorships and advertising to support ongoing tourism, marketing, and community outreach efforts.

Police and Fire: Police and Fire contract expenses are incorporated using estimates from the County of Riverside. Final numbers will be reflective of rates once contracts are approved. These combined budgets account for a total of $35,994,097 or 38% of the proposed General Fund budget.

Parks Maintenance: The increase in this division is driven by higher anticipated costs for landscape maintenance contracts, pool maintenance services, and transfers to the Park Equipment & Facility Internal Service Fund to support ongoing park maintenance, equipment replacement, and facility improvement needs throughout the City.

Public Buildings: The increase in this division is primarily related to higher anticipated costs within the maintenance/services and HVAC accounts to support ongoing preventative maintenance, repair services, and potential replacement of HVAC units for City-owned facilities citywide.

Public Works Development Services: The increase in this division is primarily attributable to the addition of an Engineering Specialist position approved by the City Council during FY 2025/26.

The position supports increased development activity and enhances the division’s capacity to manage plan reviews, permit coordination, project communication, and overall development services operations.

Planning: The increase in this division is largely associated with the commencement of master planning efforts for the southern Sphere of Influence (SOI) area, following the selection of a consultant during the current fiscal year. These efforts are intended to support long-term planning related to a potential future expansion of the City’s boundaries and service area.

Centralized Services - This department budget captures citywide expenses. Annually this division’s budget fluctuates most because it captures large one-time expenses such as pension and OPEB (Other Post-Employment Benefits) trust contributions, building improvements, land acquisition, and capital improvement carryovers for multi-year projects.

The FY 2026/27 annual pension liability contribution is $400,000, representing a $50,000 increase over the prior year. This contribution covers employees in the Classic Tier, Tier 2, and PEPRA. In addition to the annual required contribution, the City may consider additional discretionary payments toward its unfunded pension obligations as a proactive measure to reduce long-term liabilities and strengthen the City’s overall financial position.

To continue the City’s efforts of staff development and succession planning, managing CalPERS rate increases, responding to labor market adjustments, and to address staffing needs, a budget of $200,000 in Contingency for Staffing is recommended to execute these principles. 125 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS (ISF)
ISF are used to account for activities involved in rendering services to departments within the City. Costs of materials and services used are accumulated in these funds and charged to user departments based on personnel and large equipment assigned to each. The following is a summary of expenses by ISF:

Equipment Replacement Fund – The $677,000 decrease in this fund is primarily due to the completion of major city building repair projects in FY 2025/26, including significant roof repairs, as well as one-time machinery and equipment purchases completed during the fiscal year. No similar large-scale capital expenditures are currently anticipated in FY 2026/27.

Information Technology Fund – The approximately $1.4 million decrease is primarily attributable to major infrastructure improvement projects currently underway, including upgrades to IT systems and equipment in public facilities. Remaining appropriations from FY 2025/26 will be carried forward into FY 2026/27 to support the continued completion of these projects and related infrastructure improvement efforts.

Park Equipment Fund – The approximately $300,000 decrease in this fund is primarily due to one-time playground and park improvement projects completed in FY 2025/26, including playground replacements and tennis court improvements. Remaining FY 2025/26 funds will be carried forward to support the completion of ongoing park-related projects.

Insurance Fund – An overall increase of about $68,000 is due to the estimated insurance premiums provided by California Joint Powers Authority (CJPIA), final projections will be provided at budget adoption.

REDEVELOPMENT LOAN REPAYMENT
The City’s Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) for the Successor Agency (former Redevelopment Agency) includes an annual loan repayment. For 2026/27 the total loan repayment is $3,647,452 which is allocated 80% to the General Fund ($2,917,962) and 20% ($729,490) to the Housing Authority Fund. These revenues will be recognized in unassigned reserves in each fund and are not allocated to current expenses. The final loan repayment is scheduled for FY 2029/30. Remaining outstanding loan repayments after 2026/27 total $10,950,532.

PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES Page 2 of 6 MARCH 10, 2026
The Commission discussed the City’s progress toward its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) requirements through 2029, including the likelihood of meeting the remaining units and the potential consequences if they are not met. Staff noted that outcomes depend largely on developer activity and that any shortfall may be carried into the next housing cycle, with possible State implications.

Commission discussion continued regarding constraints such as limited land availability and the voluntary nature of development, and confirmed that accessory dwelling units (ADUs) may count toward RHNA if they meet the affordability criteria. Staff also outlined available incentives, including California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) streamlining through the proposed Highway 111 Specific Plan and Development Code, and State density bonus provisions, while noting the City does not provide direct financial assistance. Staff clarified that RHNA units are counted upon issuance of building permits and are subject to review by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

MOTION – A motion was made and seconded by Commissioners Bohlinger/Nieto to recommend that the City Council authorize submittal of the General Plan and Housing Element Annual Progress Reports to the Office of Climate and Land Use Innovation and State Department of Housing and Community Development, as presented.

VICE CHAIRPERSON GUERRERO DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 5:23 P.M.

PUBLIC SPEAKER: Ben Dobbs, Executive Director of PGA West (Applicant) – introduced himself and provided a brief presentation on the proposed Hermitage tract map, including background on PGA West, the long-term ownership’s investment in the property, and the intent to complete buildout of the remaining residential lots consistent with the existing specific plan. Mr. Dobbs indicated the proposed map would create four home sites on five lots, with one lot to remain as a maintenance yard, and emphasized that the future homes would be single-story residences, not to be used as short-term vacation rentals (STVR), and consistent with the existing specific plan standards; and described neighborhood outreach efforts, including town hall meetings, mailed notices, and email communications to property owners and residents within a 500-foot radius from the project site.

Commission Secretary Flores said two WRITTEN PUBLIC COMMENTS were received from the residents listed below, in alphabetical order, commenting on the project’s potential negative impacts on views, loss of privacy, and reduction in open space, and inquiring about access, construction staging, HOA matters, design criteria, density, and STVR allowances; all comments were distributed to the Commission prior to the meeting, made public, published on the City’s website, and included in the public record of this meeting:
 Jennifer Carr, La Quinta (PGA West) – opposed
 Mike Conley, La Quinta (Stone Creek Ranch)
 Judy and Todd Schrecker, La Quinta (PGA West)
 John Williams, La Quinta (PGA West)
PUBLIC SPEAKER: Matthew Manfred, La Quinta (Stone Creek Ranch) – opposed to the project due to loss of mountain views, privacy impacts, proximity of future homes to existing rear yards, traffic, and operational impacts related to the reduced maintenance yard area, employee parking, and lack of neighborhood outreach to surrounding communities.

PUBLIC SPEAKER: James Dunford, La Quinta (Stone Creek Ranch) – opposed to the project due to similar concerns as the speaker listed above regarding loss of views, privacy, and proximity of this development to its neighboring community, and further emphasized potential impacts associated with golf course maintenance operations, including noise, traffic, and employee activity.

The Commission asked questions of the Applicant regarding the number of proposed lots and homes, notice and outreach to nearby residents, the continued operation and reduced footprint of the golf course maintenance yard, employee parking, project access and construction staging, the space behind the new homes including separate strip of land and 20-foot setback area, and the potential for additional screening along the rear property line.

The Applicant explained overflow maintenance functions and stored equipment would be relocated to another yard, that the strip of land behind the new homes would not be used for parking, and future homes would be consistent with the existing neighborhood and remain subject to the approved specific plan, including restrictions on building height and 223 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES Page 4 of 6 MARCH 10, 2026
the prohibition of STVRs. The Commission also discussed future HOA assignments and confirmed that detailed home design and landscaping would be reviewed at a later time.

VICE CHAIRPERSON GUERRERO DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 5:49 P.M.

Commission discussion continued regarding the project’s consistency with the specific plan and environmental documentation and limitations on denying housing proposals absent specific findings under State law. While acknowledging neighborhood concerns regarding views and privacy, the Commission expressed consensus that the tract map was consistent with applicable standards and indicated support for the project as presented.

MOTION – A motion was made and seconded by Commissioners McCune/Bohlinger to adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 2026-001 approving Tentative Tract Map 2024- 0005 (TTM 38965) within PGA West, allowing the subdivision of a 2.88-acre site into five lots with residential zoning, and make a finding that the proposed application is consistent with the PGA West Specific Plan (SP 1983-0002) Environmental Impact Report and no further environmental review is necessary, as presented:
