CITY COUNCIL MEETING: September 15, 2026

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: APPOINT A MEMBER OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO SERVE AS AN

ALTERNATE DELEGATE FOR THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES ANNUAL CONFERENCE IN ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, SEPTEMBER 23 – 25, 2026

RECOMMENDATION
Appoint a member of the City Council to serve as an alternate delegate at the League of California Cities Annual Conference in Anaheim, California, September 23 – 25, 2026.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 The League of California Cities (League) is an association of California cities that collaborate to exchange information and combine resources to influence state legislation.
 At the League’s Annual Conference (Conference), the League convenes a General Assembly of its member cities, providing city officials an opportunity to directly participate in the development of League policy and priorities.  On December 16, 2025, Council appointed Mayor Evans as the City’s voting delegate for the General Assembly who is unable to attend, thus, triggering the need to appoint an alternate delegate to allow the City to participate and cast a vote at the meeting. The League’s General Assembly Voting Guidelines are included as Attachment 1.

FISCAL IMPACT – None.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Conference provides an opportunity for local leaders to learn from subject-matter experts and their peers. During the Conference, the League convenes a General Assembly at which member cities’ appointed delegates consider and vote on resolutions that establish the League’s policy and priorities.

On December 16, 2025, Council appointed Mayor Evans as the City’s voting delegate for the General Assembly who is unable to attend; thus, Council must appoint an alternate delegate pursuant to the League’s General Assembly Voting Guidelines.

BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 1
263 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
On June 16, 2026, Council authorized overnight travel for 3 of its members to attend the Conference; only 2 members have registered to attend due to scheduling conflicts.

Following Council’s action, staff will submit the alternate voting delegate appointment information to the League.

ALTERNATIVES
Staff does not recommend an alternative as not appointing an alternate delegate would result in the City not being represented or able to participate in the General Assembly.

1400 K Street, Suite 400, Sacramento, CA 95814 • 916.658.8200 • calcities.org General Assembly Voting Guidelines

1. One City One Vote. Each member city has a right to cast one vote on matters pertaining to Cal Cities policy.

2. Designating a City Voting Representative. Prior to the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo, each city council may designate a voting delegate and up to two alternates; these individuals are identified on the voting delegate form provided to the Cal Cities Credentials Committee.

3. Registering with the Credentials Committee. The voting delegate, or alternates, may pick up the city's voting card at the voting delegate desk in the conference registration area. Voting delegates and alternates must sign in at the voting delegate desk. Here they will receive a special sticker on their name badge and thus be admitted to the voting area at the General Assembly.

4. Signing Initiated Resolution Petitions. Only those individuals who are voting delegates (or alternates), and who have picked up their city’s voting card by providing a signature to the credentials committee at the voting delegate desk, may sign petitions to initiate a resolution.

5. Voting. To cast the city's vote, a city official must have in their possession the city's voting card and voting tool; and be registered with the credentials committee. The voting card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates but may not be transferred to another city official who is neither a voting delegate nor alternate.

6. Voting Area at General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

7. Resolving Disputes. In case of dispute, the credentials committee will determine the validity of signatures on petitioned resolutions and the right of a city official to vote at the General Assembly.

Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.

How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.

The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.

The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.

Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.

Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.

Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.

Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.

The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.

Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.

Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.

During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.

Cal Cities policy
development is a memberinformed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.

For more information visit www.calcities.org/general-assembly Prior to the Annual Conference and Expo
Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions
Committee considers
all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved1 by
either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee are next
considered by the General Assembly.

General resolutions not approved, or
referred for further study by both a
policy committee and the Resolutions
Committee do not go to the General
Assembly. All Petitioned Resolutions
are considered by the General
Assembly, unless disqualified.2
During the Annual Conference and Expo

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: September 15, 2026

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: INTRODUCE AN ORDINANCE AT FIRST READING ADDING CHAPTER 8.91 TO TITLE 8 OF THE LA QUINTA MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING

AN EXPEDITED PERMITTING PROCESS FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE

CHARGING STATIONS

RECOMMENDATION
 Move to take up Ordinance No. ___ by title and number only and waive further reading.
 Move to introduce at first reading, Ordinance No. ___, adding Chapter 8.91 to the La Quinta Municipal Code establishing an expedited, streamlined, and administrative permitting process for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 State law (Gov. Code sections 65850.7 and 65850.71) requires local agencies to implement expedited administrative permitting procedures that reduce permitting barriers for electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS) infrastructure while maintaining applicable health and safety standards.
 The proposed ordinance, if adopted, will add Chapter 8.91 entitled "Expedited Electric Vehicle Charging Station Permitting Process," to Title 8 of the La Quinta Municipal Code. Exhibit A to the ordinance establishes an expedited and streamlined permitting process for EVCS installations in compliance with statutory requirements, including permit review timelines, electronic submittal requirements, application completeness standards, and approval procedures.

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed ordinance is not anticipated to result in a fiscal impact. Permit applications will continue to be processed by existing staff through established building permit procedures. The City Council retains authority to establish permit fees by resolution to recover the costs associated with permit review and inspection services.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
In 2015, the State of California adopted Assembly Bill 1236 (AB 1236, Stats. 2015, Ch. 598) into law adding Government Code Section 65850.7 to ensure timely, cost‑effective installation of EVCS by requiring streamlined local permitting, allowing limited denial only BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 2
267 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
for documented unmitigable health or safety impacts. Under the law, permit applications generally must be processed administratively and may only be denied when substantial evidence demonstrates a specific, adverse impact to public health or safety.

In 2021, the State of California adopted Assembly Bill 970 (AB 970, Stats. 2021, Ch. 710) adding Government Code Section 65850.71, which further strengthened EVCS permitting requirements to establish statutory timelines for determining application completeness and approving eligible permit applications. The legislation also expanded requirements regarding parking reductions necessary to accommodate charging infrastructure and clarified a local publicly owned electric utility’s role and responsibility in providing new electric service to EVCS remain unrestricted based on safety, reliability, and engineering requirements.

The proposed ordinance brings the City’s municipal code into compliance with AB 1236 and AB 970. The ordinance defines terms, specifies the process and timelines for review, and establishes a checklist of requirements, consistent with requirements in the Government Code. If adopted, the City will establish an expedited, objective, and streamlined permit process for EVCS, facilitate timely deployment of charging infrastructure, and preserve the City’s authority to address demonstrable, site-specific public-health and safety impacts.

ALTERNATIVES
If no action is taken, the City will remain out of compliance with state law and be subject to possible future litigation, therefore, staff does not recommend an alternative.

WHEREAS, on October 8, 2015, the State of California adopted Assembly Bill 1236 (AB 1236, Stats. 2015, Ch. 598), adding section 65850.7 to the Government Code, which requires local agencies to adopt an ordinance that creates an expedited, streamlined permitting process for electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS); and WHEREAS, Government Code section 65850.7 ensures timely, cost‑effective installation of electric vehicle charging stations by requiring local agencies to establish an expedited and streamlined administrative permitting process, and allows limited denial only for documented unmitigable health or safety impacts; and WHEREAS, on October 8, 2021, the State of California adopted Assembly Bill 970 (AB 970, Stats. 2021, Ch. 710) into law, amending section 65850.7 and adding section 65850.71 to the California Government Code, which further streamlined the permitting of electric vehicle charging stations by requiring applications to be deemed complete unless local agencies identify documented health or safety impacts, by establishing permit submittal completeness and approval timeframes, and by clarifying that its provisions do not alter the responsibilities of local publicly owned electric utilities while requiring jurisdictions to reduce parking requirements to accommodate charging installations.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California, does hereby ordain as follows:

SECTION 1.

SECTION 5. If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance and each and every section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more section, subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions thereof be declared unconstitutional.

SECTION 6. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect thirty (30) days after its adoption.

SECTION 7. The City Clerk shall, within 15 days after passage of this Ordinance, cause it to be posted in at least three public places designated by resolution of the City Council, shall certify to the adoption and posting of this Ordinance, and shall cause this Ordinance and its certification, together with proof of posting to be entered into the permanent record of Ordinances of the City of La Quinta.

RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR PUBLIC MEETINGS AND RELATED FUNCTIONS AND

ACTIVITIES OF CITY BOARDS, COMMISSIONS, AND COMMITTEES

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution to approve Amended and Restated Rules of Procedure for Public Meetings and Related Functions and Activities of City boards, commissions, and committees.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 Due to changes in law, policy and/or practice, the City’s Rules of Procedure are examined and updated periodically.

On December 2, 2025, Council received an overview of the newly added and revised requirements imposed on public agencies by SB 707, including the following:
1) Eligible Legislative Body [Gov. Code § 54953.4, subdivision (e), subparagraph (2)(A)] The Brown Act includes several disjunctive definitions for an “eligible legislative body,” and the one applicable to La Quinta is “A city council of a city with population of 30,000 or more.” 2) Teleconference and Telephonic Accessibility
(A) Teleconference and Telephonic Accessibility for Members of the Public [Gov. Code § 54953.4, subdivision (b), subparagraph (1)(A)(i)(I)(ia)] Effective July 1, 2026, the Brown Act requires all open and public meetings of the “eligible legislative body” (City Council) only to include an opportunity for members of the public to attend via a two-way telephonic service or a two-way audio-visual platform, except if adequate telephonic or internet service is not operational at the meeting location. This requirement does not extend to City boards, commissions, or committees, unless explicitly imposed by the City Council.

The City facilitates telephonic and teleconference accessibility for members of the public during City Council meetings only via the Zoom Webinar audio-visual platform which is available in real-time to participants.
(B) Teleconference and Telephonic Accessibility for Members of the City Council as well as City Boards, Commissions, and Committees
[Gov. Code § 54953]
The Brown Act authorizes the use of teleconference and telephonic accessibility for the benefit of the public, the City Council, and City boards, commissions, and committees, in connection with attending any public meeting, subject to compliance with the provisions of the Brown Act [Gov. Code § 54953, subdivision (b), subparagraph (1)].

The statute explicitly states that teleconference does not include watching or listening to a public meeting via webcasting or other similar medium that does not permit members to interactively speak, discuss, or deliberate on matters [Gov. Code § 54953, subdivision (e), subparagraph (2)(B)].

Pursuant to the Brown Act, the following 4 teleconference options may be used, each of which has been detailed in Section 1.8 of the enclosed B/C Rules of Procedure:
(a) Subsection 1.81.1 – Teleconference and telephonic accessibility from a specific remote physical location for members of City boards, commissions, and committees [Gov. Code § 54953(b)(3)]

(b) Subsection 1.8.2 – Teleconference during a proclaimed state of emergency or local emergency [Gov. Code § 54953.8.2]
(c) Subsection 1.8.3 – Teleconference due to disability [Gov. Code § 54953(c)] (d) Subsection 1.8.4 – Teleconference due to just cause [Gov. Code § 54953.8 and § 54953.8.3]
3) Closed Captions for Two-Way Audio-Visual Platform
[Gov. Code § 54953.4, subdivision (b), subparagraph (1)(A)(ii)] The Brown Act requires agencies to activate any automatic captioning function during public meetings if such feature is available through the audio-visual platform used to facilitate remote public access.

Closed captions in English and Spanish, as well as myriads of other languages, are available through the City’s telephonic and teleconference accessibility for public meetings facilitated via the Zoom Webinar audio-visual platform, which is available in real-time to all teleconference participants.

Closed captions in English and Spanish are also available through the City’s video streaming service (Cablecast) for live and archived public meetings. 4) Disruption Policy of Telephonic or Internet Service During Public Meetings [Gov. Code § 54953.4, subdivision (b), subparagraph (1)(A)(i)(ib)] The Brown Act requires Council to adopt a policy, before July 1, 2026, outlining procedures for recessing a public meeting for at least 1 hour, or until services are restored, in the event the telephonic or internet services enabling remote public access are disrupted; and requires the agency to make good faith efforts to restore services.

Upon reconvening the open session, if the telephonic or internet service has not been restored, the Council shall adopt a finding by roll-call vote that good faith efforts to restore service were made pursuant to the City’s adopted disruption policy.

The Council adopted such a Disruption Policy on June 2, 2026, via Resolution No. 2026-015.

The proposed resolution herein, if adopted, shall adopt the same Disruption Policy for City boards, commissions, and committees.
5) Translation
(A) Translation During Public Meetings
[Gov. Code § 54953.4, subdivision (b), subparagraph (2)(A)] The Brown Act requires Council to reasonably assist members of the public who request translation or interpretation during its public meetings; and shall publicize instructions on how to request assistance.
281 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
This statute provides that the legislative body is not responsible for the content or accuracy of any interpretation facilitated, assisted with, or provided under this subdivision [Gov. Code § 54953.4, subdivision (b), subparagraph (2)(C)].

The City’s “Public Meetings” dedicated webpage includes instructions on how to request and access closed captions, translation, interpretation, and disability assistance for public meetings under the “Translation, Closed Captions, Interpretation, and Disability Accessibility” section of the webpage (www.laquintaca.gov/PublicMeetings), as well as the “Public Notices” and “Teleconference” sections of all published Council agendas.

As noted under No. 3 above of this report, closed captions in English and Spanish, and other languages, are available through the City’s video streaming service; and in real-time through the Zoom Webinar audio-visual platform used to facilitate remote public access.

In-person interpretation services require a 72-hour advance notice in order to secure a licensed professional interpreter; a 24-hour advance notice is recommended for hearing assistance special equipment.
(B) Translation of Internet Webpage [Gov. Code § 54953.4, subdivision (c), subparagraph (1)(B)]

The Brown Act requires the agency’s internet webpage, dedicated to public meetings and accessible through a prominent direct link posted on the agency’s website home page, to include the same information translated in all applicable languages; and provides that the translations made using a digital translation service shall be satisfactory.

In June 2026, the City’s Public Meetings webpage was updated to include all information posted in both English and Spanish.

If a tie vote results at a time when less than all members of the board, commission, or committee are present, the matter shall automatically be continued to the agenda of the next regular meeting of the board, commission, or committee, unless otherwise ordered by the board, commission, or committee. Notwithstanding the above, if a tie vote results at a time when one or more member(s) are abstaining for reasons other than conflict of interest then, in that instance, the abstention vote shall be counted in favor of the motion thereby breaking the tie vote.

8. RESOLUTIONS

8.1 DEFINITIONS:

As a rule of thumb, it can be said that legislative acts of the City Council (usually a rule of public conduct for long-term application) are taken by ordinance, whereas more routine business and administrative matters (usually more temporary and transitory in nature) are accomplished by “resolutions.” The term “resolution” in its general sense will denote any action taken affirmatively via a vote of the legislative body, other than one taken by ordinance. Only the City Council may adopt ordinances on behalf of the City.

As used in this City, two (2) terms are in general use to denote such (non-ordinance) actions:
“resolution” and “motion” (or sometimes referred to as “minute order”) (thereafter recorded in the minutes). Both actions are equally legally effective and binding, they just vary in the formality of respective memorialization. The most formal is referred to locally as a “resolution.”
Generally, the form of a “resolution” is a written document, similar in format to an ordinance, of the action taken by a board, commission, or committee, which is numbered in sequence, and preserved in a separate set of books; this separate written document is in addition to being recorded by an item entry in the minutes of the meeting at which it was accomplished. “Resolutions” are used in this City for various reasons, such as when specifically required by law, when needed as a separate evidentiary document to be transmitted to another governmental agency, or where the frequency of future reference back to its contents warrants a separate document (with the additional “whereas” explanatory material it often recites) to facilitate such future reference and research.

The form of a “motion” or “minute order,” however, is a verbal decision of the action taken by a board, commission, or committee, which is recorded by an item entry in the minutes of the meeting at which it was accomplished, without the formality of a separate written document to memorialize it, unless it is a motion to adopt an ordinance or a resolution.

Before any official action can be taken, a member of a board, commission, or committee must “move” or make a “motion,” and another member must “second” that motion, to place an item before the membership for official action and decision (see Section 6 of these Rules of Procedure).

8.2 RESOLUTIONS PREPARED IN ADVANCE:

Where a resolution has been prepared in advance, the procedure shall be: motion, second, discussion, vote pursuant to methods prescribed in Section 7.1 above, and result declared.

It shall not be necessary to read a resolution in full or by title except to identify it. Any member may require that the resolution be read in full.

8.3 RESOLUTIONS NOT PREPARED IN ADVANCE:

Where a resolution has not been prepared in advance, the procedure shall be to instruct the Department Director or City Attorney to prepare a resolution for presentation at the next public meeting.

8.4 URGENCY RESOLUTIONS:

In matters of urgency, a resolution may be presented verbally in motion form together with instructions for written preparation for later execution. After the resolution has been verbally stated, the voting procedure in 8.2 above shall be followed.

9. POLITICAL ACTIVITIES
(1) Members of boards, commissions, or committees shall not use, or attempt to use, their position, office, or authority to influence, aid, or obstruct any City employee from securing any position, nomination, confirmation or promotion, or change in compensation or position in the City upon consideration, or condition that the vote or political influence or action of such person or another shall be given or used on behalf of, or withheld from, any candidate, officer, or party, or upon any other corrupt condition or consideration. This prohibition shall apply to urging or discouraging the individual employee’s action. (2) A member of a board, commission, or committee, or candidate shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit political funds or contributions, knowingly, from other officers or employees of the local agency or from persons on an employment list of the City, with the knowledge that the person from whom the contribution is solicited is an officer or employee of the City.

This section shall not prohibit the member from requesting political contributions from officers or employees of the City if the solicitation is part of a solicitation made to a significant segment of the public, which may include offices or employees of the City. (3) No member of a board, commission, or committee, or candidate shall engage during working hours in City offices or work areas where such activity would disrupt the workplace.

10. AUTHORITY TO BIND THE CITY
No member of a board, commission, or committee, officer, official, employee, agent, or consultant of the City, without the majority vote of the City Council, or unless otherwise provided in these Rules of Procedure or by resolution of the Council, shall have any power or authority to bind the City by any contract, to pledge its credits, or to render it liable for any purpose in any amount.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: September 15, 2026

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: ADOPT RESOLUTION TO APPROVE AN AGREEMENT FOR

PURCHASE AND SALE AND ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS BETWEEN THE CITY OF LA

QUINTA AND INDIAN WELLS HOSPITALITY GROUP, LLC, FOR THE SALE OF APPROXIMATELY 3 ACRES LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF HIGHWAY 111 AND DUNE PALMS ROAD; AND FINDING THE SALE REQUIRES NO ADDITIONAL

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW FROM INITIAL STUDY FOR SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT 1 (EA 2018-0005) PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINES SECTIONS 15162 AND 15164

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution to:
(A) Approve Agreement for Purchase and Sale and Escrow Instructions between the City of La Quinta, as Seller, and Indian Wells Hospitality Group, LLC, as Buyer, for the sale of approximately 3 acres located at the southeast corner of Highway 111 and Dune Palms Road; and authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement and all implementing documents pursuant to the Resolution and Agreement;
(B) Waive the requirement under a Tri-Party Subdivision Agreement between the City, Buyer, and Pacific West Communities that the forms of the purchase and sale agreement and statutory development agreement between the City and Pacific West Communities be finalized prior to the recording of the subdivision map for the entire 6.5-acre City-owned property, as described in the Resolution; and (C) Find the sale of the 3-acre property to Buyer requires no additional environmental review from the Initial Study for Specific Plan Amendment 1 (EA 2018-0005) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• The City proposes selling approximately 3 acres of City-owned commercial property along the Highway 111 corridor to Indian Wells Hospitality Group, LLC ("Buyer"), a Sunridge Properties, Inc. subsidiary, for a 4-story AC Hotel by Marriott with 113 rooms for immediate development, and the eventual buildout of a 3,000- square-foot pad for either retail or restaurant use.

BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 4
313 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
• On August 14, 2025, the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) issued written findings confirming the City's Surplus Land Act compliance for the entire city-owned property, comprised of the hotel/restaurant pad property (Parcel A) and an affordable housing project property (Parcel B).
• On April 8, 2026, the City, Buyer, and Pacific West Communities entered into a Tri-Party Subdivision Agreement, obligating the City to perfect the subdivision of the approximately 6.5 acres of entire City-owned property into the 2 separate parcels. Consistent with Section 1.2 of the Tri-Party Subdivision Agreement, the Council is being asked to authorize IWHG and Pacific West Communities to each independently pursue completion of their respective purchase and sale agreements and statutory development agreements for Parcel A and Parcel B, and to bring them forward for separate Council consideration at different times. • The Tri-Party Subdivision Agreement, however, includes a provision to have the final forms of the respective purchase and sale agreements and statutory development agreements completed by the recording of the new parcel map for the entire 6.5-acre City-owned property; because the sale of the 3-acre property to IWHG is conditioned on the recording of this subdivision map, the Council is asked to waive this provision while City staff and Pacific continue to negotiate and draft that respective purchase and sale agreement and development agreement. • Closing of escrow for the sale of the 3-acre property to IWHG is contingent on City approval of specified project entitlements (the Development Agreement and Site Development Permit), recording of the perfecting subdivision map, and execution of an Affordability Covenant on Parcels A and B.
• The Design and Development Department has determined that the sale of the 3- acre property and proposed hotel/restaurant pad project requires no additional environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164, because the environmental impacts are equivalent to or lower than those already analyzed in the previously adopted Initial Study for Specific Plan Amendment 1 (EA 2018-0005).

FISCAL IMPACT
The City will receive a proposed purchase price of $2,092,186.80, which is based on an appraised value of $16.01 per square foot for approximately 130,680 square feet (3 acres), subject to adjustment for any excluded rights-of-way. Buyer will deposit $10,000 upon opening of escrow, plus a $50,000 second deposit upon Buyer's approval of the condition of the property, for a total $60,000 earnest money deposit applied toward the purchase price. The $2,032,186.80 balance is due before closing of the escrow. Sale proceeds will be deposited in Account No. 101-0000-45000 (Sale of Other Assets). 314 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The subject property is an approximately 3-acre portion of APN 600-020-057 located on the southeast corner of Highway 111 and Dune Palms Road. It is described and depicted in Certificate of Compliance COC 2024-0001 (Attachment 3) as Parcel A and referenced in the Agreement for Purchase and Sale and Escrow Instructions (Agreement) as the “Hotel/Restaurant Pad Property,” which is distinguished from the approximately 3.5-acre southerly property described and depicted as Parcel B (the “Affordable Housing Project Property”). HCD's August 14, 2025, findings (Attachment 4) under Government Code Section 54230.5 of the Surplus Land Act (Gov. Code § 54220 et seq.) relied on the City's commitment to record a prescribed affordable housing covenant against the “Entire CityOwned Property,” or Parcels A and B. The City recorded the Certificate of Compliance on October 29, 2025, and on April 8, 2026, entered into a “Tri-Party Subdivision Agreement” (Attachment 5) with Buyer and Pacific West Communities obligating the City to approve and record, in accordance with the Subdivision Map Act (Gov. Code § 66410 et seq.) and the La Quinta Municipal Code, a “Perfecting Subdivision Map” of the Entire City-Owned Property in furtherance of (a) HCD’s approval and (b) facilitating the separate “Hotel/Restaurant Pad Project” (the commercial component) and the 100% low-income “Affordable Housing Project.”
The Tri-Party Subdivision Agreement also requires, prior to the City's obligation to perfect and record the final subdivision map for the Entire City-Owned Property, that a purchase and sale agreement between the City and Buyer (i.e., this Agreement) and a statutory development agreement between the City and Buyer (the “IWHG DA”), as well as a purchase and sale agreement and a statutory development agreement between the City and Pacific West Communities (the “Pacific PSA” and “Pacific DA,” respectively), each be separately negotiated, finalized, and approved by the Council in accordance with applicable State and City laws. The Tri-Party Subdivision Agreement does not require that such agreements be submitted to, or acted upon by, the Council concurrently, but does generally provide final forms of such agreements should be finalized prior to the perfecting and recording of the subdivision of the Entire City-Owned Property. As referenced in the Agreement, the Council’s approval of the IWHG DA, and its execution and recording, is a condition to closing the escrow of Buyer’s acquisition of the Hotel/Restaurant Pad Property.

Because IWHG and Pacific are independent entities with distinct project timelines, financing structures, and internal approval processes, staff recommends that Council waive the provision in the Tri-Party Subdivision Agreement to have final forms of the Pacific PSA and Pacific DA prior to the recording of the perfecting subdivision map for the Entire City-Owned Property to allow the City and Pacific to continue to negotiate and finalize these agreements without delaying the purchase and sale of the Hotel/Restaurant Pad Property to the Buyer.

Buyer proposes a 4-story AC Hotel by Marriott with 113 rooms for immediate development, and the eventual development of a 3,000-square-foot pad fronting Highway 111 for either retail or restaurant use (Attachment 6). A companion “Development Agreement,” to be processed and reviewed under Government Code Section 65864 et 315 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
seq. and the La Quinta Municipal Code, is a condition precedent to closing and will vest Buyer's development and operating rights.

The Agreement has the conveyance of the Hotel/Restaurant Pad Property serviced through an escrow. There is a 90-day “Contingency Period” commencing on the effective date of the Agreement for the Buyer to review the condition of the Property. Prior to the expiration of that period, Buyer must either terminate the Agreement and cancel the escrow or move forward with the conveyance through the escrow with the $60,000 “Earnest Money Deposit” then becoming non-refundable to Buyer. Escrow would close 30 days after the latter of (a) the end of the 150-day period by which the City completes its review and approvals of all entitlement applications for the proposed Hotel/Restaurant Pad Project, or (b) satisfaction or waiver (if allowed) of all Buyer and Seller conditions precedent in the Agreement. The Outside Closing Date is 270 days after the end of the 90-day Contingency Period. Other typical provisions relating to the purchase and sale of real property from the City to a commercial developer are also included in the Agreement.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq. (“CEQA”) and implementing guidelines in the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000 et seq. (“CEQA Guidelines”), the City's Design and Development Department has completed its environmental assessment of the sale of the Hotel/Restaurant Pad Property and Buyer’s proposed hotel/restaurant pad project (Proposed Project). The Project proposes 113 rooms for a business hotel for immediate development, together with the eventual development of a 3,000-square-foot pad for either retail or restaurant use, along Highway 111 and vis-à-vis the IWHG DA (i.e., applicable Development Agreement) subject to the Dune Palms Road Specific Plan (SP 2008-085, Amendment 1) previously designated for retail commercial uses under the 2018 Initial Study prepared for Specific Plan Amendment 1 (EA 2018-0005). For purposes of this analysis, buildout of the 3,000-square-foot pad was conservatively assumed to be a fast casual restaurant. That Initial Study identified mitigable impacts related to air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, noise, and traffic. The proposed Project will result in equivalent or substantially lower impacts than those analyzed, principally because it will generate approximately 1,699 daily trips, compared to 11,514 daily trips projected for the retail use it replaces, and will generate approximately 23.6 acre-feet per year of water demand, compared to 37 acre-feet per year for the retail use. All impacts associated with land disturbance, including biological resources, cultural resources, hydrology, and geology, will be equivalent to those analyzed in the Initial Study because the land to be disturbed is equivalent to that in the Initial Study. There are no changes to the project that would trigger new significant impacts, no changed circumstances since preparation of the Initial Study, and no new information or conditions that were not known at the time the Initial Study was prepared. Therefore, as allowed under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164, no additional environmental review is required, and the conclusions and mitigation measures associated with the previously adopted Initial Study (EA 2018-0005) are applicable to the proposed sale of the Hotel/Restaurant Pad Property and Proposed Project thereon.

AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE OF REAL PROPERTY

AND INSTRUCTIONS TO ESCROW

THIS AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE OF REAL PROPERTY AND INSTRUCTIONS TO ESCROW (hereinafter, the “Agreement”) is made as of this _______day of ___________, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), by and between the CITY OF LA QUINTA, a California municipal corporation and charter city (“Seller” or “City”) and INDIAN WELLS HOSPITALITY GROUP, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“Buyer”). The City (Seller) and Buyer hereinafter may be referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”
R E C I T A L S:

A. City is the owner in fee of that certain real property located in the City of La Quinta, County of Riverside, State of California, located along the Highway 111 Corridor and Bordered Southerly by Vista Coralina Lane with Assessor’s Parcel Number (“APN”) 600-020-057, more particularly described and depicted in that certain Certificate of Compliance (COC2024-0001) relating to Parcel 2 of Parcel Map No. 37683, as more particularly set forth therein. Said Certificate of Compliance is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference (the “Certificate of Compliance”), and said real property owned by the City consists of Parcel A (the “Hotel/Restaurant Pad Property” or “Property”) and Parcel B (the “Affordable Housing Project Property”) as more particularly described and depicted in the Certificate of Compliance, which are similarly incorporated herein by this reference (the Hotel/Restaurant Pad Property and Affordable Housing Project Property are collectively referred to herein as the “Entire CityOwned Property”).

B. On August 14, 2025, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) made written findings in accordance with Government Code section 54230.5 of the California Surplus Land Act, Government Code section 54220 et seq. (“SLA”) that the Entire City-Owned Property (i.e., Hotel/Restaurant Pad Property (Parcel A) and Affordable Housing Project Property (Parcel B)) may be disposed of by City as surplus land (“SLA Compliance Letter”). The City’s Notice of Availability (“NOA”) and processing thereof pursuant to the SLA specifically provided that the planned use of the Entire City-Owned Property included a combination of uses, with a hotel use on the Hotel/Restaurant Pad Property, and an affordable housing development and use on the Affordable Housing Project Property. In support of its request for HCD’s surplus land determination, City submitted, and HCD acknowledged, a draft affordability covenant, requiring 100 percent affordable housing, to be recorded against the Entire City-Owned Property (“Affordability Covenant”). HCD’s surplus land findings relied on City’s draft Affordability Covenant to fulfill applicable affordable housing mandates and included a requirement that City provide a copy of the recorded covenant, pursuant to SLA Guidelines, Section 400(b)(1), once the Entire City-Owned Property’s final disposition has taken place. As provided in the Affordability Covenant, its provisions apply only to development for housing, which will be on the Affordable Housing Project Site and not on the Hotel/Restaurant Pad Property.

Furthermore, on April 8, 2026, the City, Buyer, and third-party Pacific West Communities, an Idaho corporation (“Pacific”) entered into that certain AGREEMENT GOVERNING SUBDIVISION AND USE OF REAL PROPERTY (the “Tri-Party Subdivision Agreement”), which, among other provisions, set forth the obligation of the City to perfect the subdivision of the Entire City-Owned Property into the Hotel/Restaurant Pad Property and Affordable Housing Project Property by new subdivision map processed and recorded pursuant to the Map Act and applicable provisions of the La Quinta Municipal Code (the “Perfecting Subdivision Map”).

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS

HEREUNDER OTHER THAN ANY ARISING UNDER ANY SECTION HEREIN WHICH

EXPRESSLY PROVIDES THAT IT SURVIVES THE TERMINATION OF THIS

AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE SURVIVES THE TERMINATION TO REMAIN OPERATIVE. BUYER RECOGNIZES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PROPERTY

WILL HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE MARKET FOR A SUBSTANTIAL PERIOD OF TIME BY REASON OF THIS AGREEMENT, THAT SELLER IS RELYING ON BUYER’S

AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY, AND THAT SELLER WOULD

OTHERWISE SUFFER SUBSTANTIAL DETRIMENT IN THE EVENT BUYER FAILS TO PERFORM BUYER’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. BUYER

SPECIFICALLY AGREES THAT SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO COMPENSATION

FOR THE DETRIMENT THAT WOULD BE CAUSED TO SELLER BY REASON OF BUYER’S DEFAULT HEREUNDER. HOWEVER, BOTH PARTIES AGREE THAT IT

WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICAL TO ASCERTAIN THE EXTENT OF THE DETRIMENT AND DAMAGES CAUSED BY BUYER’S DEFAULT. TO

AVOID SUCH DIFFICULTIES, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT IF BUYER DEFAULTS IN ITS

OBLIGATION TO CLOSE ON THE PROPERTY AS REQUIRED UNDER THIS

AGREEMENT AND, BY REASON THEREOF, CLOSING DOES NOT OCCUR, SELLER

SHALL BE ENTITLED TO THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS PROVISION WILL NOT WAIVE, LIMIT OR AFFECT ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: (i) SELLER’S RIGHT TO RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES, (ii) SELLER’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ARISING UNDER OR WITH RESPECT TO BUYER’S RELEASE AND/OR INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AND (iii) IN THE EVENT THAT

FOLLOWING ANY TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY DAMAGES SELLER

MAY INCUR IF BUYER WRONGFULLY ASSERTS ANY CLAIMS OR RIGHT TO THE

PROPERTY THAT WOULD OTHERWISE DELAY OR PREVENT SELLER FROM HAVING CLEAR, INDEFEASIBLE AND MARKETABLE TITLE TO THE PROPERTY. BOTH

PARTIES AGREE THAT SUCH AMOUNT STATED AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER’S DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF BUYER’S

DEFAULT IN ITS OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY AS PROVIDED HEREIN

AND, SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE, SUCH AMOUNT SHALL BE

IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER DAMAGES TO WHICH SELLER MAY OTHERWISE BE ENTITLED. THE PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT

INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CIVIL CODE SECTION 3275 OR 3369, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677.

Dear Doug Kinley:

RE: Written Findings Regarding the City of La Quinta’s Surplus Land Disposition Documentation for the Property Located Along the Highway 111 Corridor and Bordered Southerly by Vista Coralina Lane with APN 600- 020-057
Thank you for submitting your surplus land documentation, on behalf of the City of La Quinta (City), for review by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). Your complete documentation was received on July 7, 2025. This letter constitutes HCD’s written findings pursuant to Government Code section 54230.5 of the Surplus Land Act (SLA), for the surplus land located along the Highway 111 Corridor and Bordered Southerly by Vista Coralina Lane with APN 600-020-057 (Property).

Analysis
According to your letter and supporting documents, a Resolution declaring the (Property) to be surplus was issued on December 17, 2024, and Notices of Availability (NOA) were sent on January 3, 2025. During the required 60-day period, four affordable housing entities and one development entity expressed interest in the property. The City has provided a summary of the negotiations, which resulted in the City accepting two development partners, Sunridge Properties and The Pacific Companies. The City’s documentation included a draft affordability covenant, requiring 100 percent affordable housing, to be recorded against the Property for a period of 55 years for rental housing and 45 years for ownership housing.

Conclusion
If the submitted documentation and assertions by the City are complete and accurate, HCD finds that all the requirements under the SLA for the purposes of disposing of the (Property/Properties) have been met. Once a final disposition has taken place, please provide HCD with a copy of the respective recorded covenant pursuant to SLA Guidelines, Section 400(b)(1).

AGREEMENT GOVERNING

SUBDIVISION AND USE OF REAL PROPERTY
This AGREEMENT GOVERNING SUBDIVISION AND USE OF REAL PROPERTY (“Agreement”) is entered into this ____ day of ________, 2026, by and among (1) the CITY OF LA QUINTA, a California municipal corporation and charter city (“City”), (2) Indian Wells Hospitality Group, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“IWHG”), (3) and PACIFIC WEST COMMUNITIES, an Idaho corporation (“Pacific”), individually referred to as a “Party” and collectively referred to as the “Parties”.

R E C I T A L S
A. City is the owner in fee of that certain real property located in the City of La Quinta, County of Riverside, State of California, located along the Highway 111 Corridor and Bordered Southerly by Vista Coralina Lane with Assessor’s Parcel Number (“APN”) 600-020-057, more particularly described and depicted in that certain Certificate of Compliance (COC2024-0001) relating to Parcel 2 of Parcel Map No. 37683, as more particularly set forth therein. Said Certificate of Compliance is attached hereto as Attachment No. 1 and incorporated herein by this reference (the “Certificate of Compliance”), and said real property owned by the City that is subject to this Agreement consists of Parcel A and Parcel B as more particularly described and depicted in Exhibit A and Exhibit B attached to the Certificate of Compliance, which are similarly incorporated herein by this reference (the “Property”).

B. On August 14, 2025, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) made written findings in accordance with Government Code section 54230.5 of the California Surplus Land Act, Government Code section 54220 et seq. (“SLA”) that the Property may be disposed of by City as surplus land (“SLA Compliance Letter”). The City’s Notice of Availability (“NOA”) and processing thereof pursuant to the SLA specifically identified the Property was one parcel and specifically provided that the planned use of the Property included a combination of uses, with a hotel use on one portion of the Property, and an affordable housing development and use on another portion of the Property. In support of its request for HCD’s surplus land determination, City submitted, and HCD acknowledged, a draft affordability covenant, requiring 100 percent affordable housing, to be recorded against the Property (“Affordability Covenant”). HCD’s surplus land findings relied on City’s draft Affordability Covenant to fulfill applicable affordable housing mandates and included a requirement that City provide a copy of the recorded covenant, pursuant to SLA Guidelines, Section 400(b)(1), once the Property’s final disposition has taken place.

C. On October 29, 20225, the City executed and caused to be recorded, pursuant to Government Code section 66499.35 of the California Subdivision Map Act, Government Code section 66410 et seq. (“Map Act”) and La Quinta Municipal Code (“LQMC”) chapter 13.44 (“COC Implementation Chapter”), the Certificate of Compliance to confirm, for the benefit of IWHG and Pacific, the established legal status of Parcel 2 of Parcel Map No. 37683 as of the date of recording of the Certificate of Compliance.

D. City wishes to dispose of the Property by processing and recording a new subdivision map pursuant to the Map Act and Title 13 of the LQMC (“City Subdivision 8th April

Regulations”), subdividing the Property into two separate legal parcels that will be developed by two separate entities, IWHG and Pacific, and subject to their own respective final maps. IWHG has proposed to develop the northerly approximately 2.97 acres of the Property, described as Parcel A in the legal description and depiction of the Property as set forth in the Certificate of Compliance (referred to herein as “Parcel A”), into a hotel and restaurant development (the “IWHG Hotel Project”). Pacific has proposed to develop the southerly approximately 3.00 acres of the Property, described as Parcel B in the legal description and depiction of the Property as set forth in the Certificate of Compliance (referred to herein as “Parcel B”), into a three-story, 96-unit affordable housing project (the “Pacific Affordable Housing Project”). The Parties have agreed to enter into appropriate agreements by which IWHG and Pacific will acquire their respective parcels from City and develop them in accordance with their respective proposals, after the Property’s subdivision is perfected pursuant to the Map Act and LQMC as provided in this Agreement. The IWHG Hotel Project and Pacific Affordable Housing Project are generally described in the APN 600-020-057 / Project Review – 09-03-2025 summary, attached hereto as Attachment No. 2 and incorporated herein by this reference (the “Project Review Summary”).

E. IWHG desires to develop Parcel A by acquiring it from City in accordance with a separate Agreement For Purchase And Sale Of Real Property And Instructions To Escrow between the City and IWHG (“IWHG PSA”) and a separate Development Agreement between City and IWHG (“IWHG DA”) to be reviewed and approved in accordance with Government Code section 65864 et seq. (“State DA Act”). As of the date of this Agreement, City and IWHG continue to negotiate and draft the terms and conditions of the IWHG PSA and IWHG DA, but said Parties intend to and shall complete final forms of said agreements prior to the perfecting of the subdivision of the Property pursuant to this Agreement. Copies of the final forms of said agreements, which must be reviewed, considered, and decided upon by the La Quinta City Council in accordance with applicable State and City laws, will be available for public review and inspection during regular office hours in the Office of the City Clerk at La Quinta City Hall, located at 78495 Calle Tampico, La Quinta, CA 92253 (“City Hall”).

F. Pacific desires to develop Parcel B by acquiring either a long-term ground lease interest or fee interest from City in accordance with a separate Purchase And Sale Agreement And Instructions To Escrow between the City and Pacific (the “Pacific PSA”) and a separate Development Agreement between City and Pacific (the “Pacific DA”) also to be reviewed and approved in accordance State DA Act. Because Parcel B will be developed and used as an affordable housing project, City may transfer title, after perfecting a separate legal parcel for Parcel B pursuant to this Agreement, to the La Quinta Housing Authority, a public body corporate and politic (“Housing Authority”) established and existing pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 34200 et seq. (“Housing Authorities Law”). Likewise, the Housing Authority may be a party to the Pacific PSA and the Pacific DA. As of the date of this Agreement, City and Pacific continue to negotiate and draft the terms and conditions of the Pacific PSA and Pacific DA, but said Parties intend to and shall complete final forms of said agreements prior to the perfecting of the subdivision of the Property pursuant to this Agreement. Copies of the final forms of said agreements, which must be reviewed, considered, and decided upon by the La Quinta City Council (and, likewise, Housing Authority Board of Directors) in accordance with applicable State and City laws, will be available for public review and inspection during regular office hours in the Office of the City Clerk at City Hall.

Riverside County Department of Animal Services (RCDAS) – Coachella Campus has walk-in hours from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Tuesday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday through Sunday. In an event of a pet emergency, animal control question, or are interested in adopting, fostering or rescuing, please call 951- 358-7387.

A false alarm means the activation of a security alarm system necessitating response by peace officers when an emergency does not exist. A service fee is due to the City after an excessive number of false alarms (defined as three or more false alarms) within a one-year (365-day) period have been received from a particular business, residence, or property.

Public Safety Camera System Statistics
Public Safety Camera System (PSCS) went live on September 20, 2021, since then, La Quinta Sheriff’s Department (LQSD) and City staff have been using the system to monitor City property, traffic accidents, traffic flow, police investigations, and managing special events.

System Statistics:

Processed 6 PSCS public records requests from citizens and insurance companies. 123 PSCS videos related to police investigations have been queried. Of those queried, 42 videos related to police investigations have been exported.

Investigative Tool, Not Standalone Enforcement: ALPR is an additional investigative resource that deputies use to identify potential matches and independently verify information before taking enforcement action.

Faster Identification & Apprehension: ALPR can help identify vehicles associated with wanted persons, stolen vehicles, active criminal investigations, and missing-person cases.

ALPR technology is subject to Riverside County Sheriff’s Office Policy 412 governing authorized use, training, access, and data safeguards. The system may be used only for official law-enforcement purposes by personnel who have completed approved training and are authorized to access the system. When applicable, an ALPR alert must be verified through California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS). before enforcement action is taken.

On April 17, 2026, La Quinta BDT/SET Deputies, with assistance from the Riverside Sheriff’s Aviation (Star 94), conducted a follow-up investigation involving a vehicle that had fled from a traffic stop on April 9, 2026. Deputies utilized the City’s PSCS and ALPR technology to assist in locating the vehicle. Star 94 located the vehicle near Washington Street and Miles Avenue, maintaining aerial surveillance as it traveled into La Quinta. The vehicle subsequently fled and collided with three other vehicles. The suspect, a 20-year-old male resident of Desert Hot Springs, fled on foot into a nearby shopping center but was apprehended without further incidents. During a search of the suspect, deputies located cocaine and items indicative of cocaine sales. The suspect also displayed symptoms consistent with being under the influence of marijuana. He was booked into John J. Benoit Detention Center on charges including two counts of felony evading, felony DUI, and possession of cocaine for sales.

On April 29, 2026, La Quinta SET/BDT Deputies were alerted through La Quinta’s PSCS and ALPR to a wanted 30-year-old male resident of La Quinta on Avenue 52 and Monroe Street. The male had an active felony warrant related to theft cases stemming from prior arrest in the La Quinta area. Deputies located the male’s vehicle at the swap meet near Arabia Street and Dr. Carreon in Indio. The suspect was stopped as he exited the swap meet and was arrested on the outstanding warrant. He was booked into the John J Benoit Detention Center.

On May 27, 2026, La Quinta Patrol Deputies conducted a grand theft investigation at Ulta Beauty, located at 78825 Highway 111 in La Quinta. With assistance from Aviation and ALPR, Deputies located the suspect vehicle around Showcase Parkway and Jackson Street in the City of Indio. Indio Police Department (IPD) assisted Deputies with detaining the occupants of the vehicle. The vehicle was also of interest to IPD, as it had been used in thefts within the City of Indio. Deputies arrested a 24-year-old female resident of Indio for two narcotics-related misdemeanor warrants. Deputies also arrested a 33- year-old male resident of Indio for numerous felony theft-related warrants. The male was identified as the primary suspect in the Ulta Beauty theft investigation. Both subjects were booked at the John J Benoit Detention Center.

On June 2, 2026, La Quinta BDT/SET Deputies, utilizing the ALPR system, located the vehicle at Fantasy Springs Casino. Deputies contacted and arrested the female, a 30-year-old resident of Indio, on the outstanding felony vandalism warrant. During an interview, the female admitted she provided the Deputy with her sister’s name to avoid being arrested on the felony warrant. The female was booked at John J.

Benoit Detention Center.

On June 6, 2026, La Quinta Patrol Deputies responded to a multi-vehicle collision at the intersection of Highway 111 and Washington Street. La Quinta Public Safety Cameras were reviewed and used to determine the sequence of the events leading to the collision. Two of the five involved drivers were transported to Desert Regional Medical Center for treatment of their injuries. One of the transported drivers, a 19-year-old female, resident of Cathedral City, displayed obvious signs of intoxication. A warrant was obtained and served for a blood sample. Due to the extent of her injuries, the female was subsequently released to the hospital for continued medical treatment. 407
