NOTE 15: PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS
During fiscal year 2023, the City determined that lease agreement between the City and the Corporation was not properly reported in the prior year. Therefore, lease receivable was understated by $2,581,437, deferred inflows of resources was understated by $2,565,426 and fund balance/net position was understated by $19,679 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 in the General Fund and Governmental Activities. The lease payable was understated by $2,581,437, lease asset, net of amortization was understated by $2,565,426 and net position was overstated by $19,679 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 in the Palm Desert Recreation Facility Corporation’s financial statements for the same purpose.

This was the result of a new interpretation obtained from GASB related to the implementation of GASB Statement No. 84, Fiduciary Funds. This resulted in a restatement of net position totaling $7,790,756 as of June 30, 2022.

NOTE 18: SUCCESSOR AGENCY DISCLOSURES
Dissolution of Redevelopment Agency
Pursuant to AB X1 26 (adopted by the California Legislature in June 2011) and the State Supreme Court’s decision in California Redevelopment Association, et al. v. Ana Matosantos, et al., 53 Cal. 4th 231 (2011), all redevelopment agencies in the State were dissolved as of February 1, 2012. The City Council adopted Resolution No. 2011-76 on August 25, 2011, pursuant to Health and Safety Code (“HSC”) Section 34172, electing for the City to serve as the Successor Agency (‘SARDA”) to the former Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency (the “Dissolved RDA”). SARDA is tasked with the wind-down of the Dissolved RDA’s affairs. Certain SARDA actions must first be approved by an oversight board, composed of seven-members representing taxing entities.
HSC Section 34173(g) expressly provides that SARDA is a separate public entity from the City, and the liabilities and assets of the Dissolved RDA shall not be transferred to the City.
Pursuant to HSC Section 34176, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-07, on February 9, 2012, electing to have the Palm Desert Housing Authority to serve as the Housing Successor. The Housing Authority (as the Housing Successor) submitted to the State Department of Finance (“DOF”) a list of housing assets to be transferred by SARDA to the Housing Successor. On August 31, 2012, the DOF issued a letter indicating that the DOF had no objection to such housing asset list.
The housing assets (per the housing asset list), obligations, and activities of the Dissolved RDA were transferred to the Housing Successor and are reported in the Housing Asset Fund beginning in fiscal year 2011-12.
However, outstanding bonds (“Housing Bonds”), secured by a pledge of moneys which would have been deposited into the Dissolved RDA’s low and moderate income housing fund (known as the “Housing Set Aside”), remain as 82

NOTE 18: SUCCESSOR AGENCY DISCLOSURES (CONTINUED)
the SARDA’s enforceable obligations. See also “Stipulated Judgment” below. All other assets, obligations, and activities of the Dissolved RDA have been transferred and are reported in a fiduciary fund (private-purpose trust fund) in the financial statements of the City. The County Auditor-Controller (“CAC”) has established a Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (the “RPTTF”) for SARDA and is charged with depositing into the RPTTF the amount of property taxes that would have been redevelopment property tax increment had the Dissolved RDA not been dissolved.
SARDA is required to prepare an annual recognized obligation payment schedule (the “ROPS”) setting forth the amounts due for enforceable obligations from each July 1 through the following June 30. The CAC only makes payments to the SARDA from the RPTTF based on the ROPS amounts approved by the oversight board and the DOF.
During fiscal year 2012-13, SARDA was required to conduct due diligence reviews of the low and moderate income housing fund and all other funds to compute the funds (cash) which were not needed to be retained to pay existing enforceable obligations or otherwise unrestricted, and therefore, must be remitted to the CAC. SARDA paid a total amount of $40,988,399 to the CAC based on the due diligence reviews per the DOF’s determination.
The DOF issued a Finding of Completion on May 15, 2013 after SARDA remitted such payments.
The Finding of Completion allows the placement of certain loans (“Advances”) made by the City to the Dissolved RDA (which were previously voided by operation of law upon the Dissolved RDA’s dissolution) on the ROPS. For each approved repayment 20% of the repayment amount must be allocated to the Housing Asset Fund. The repayment of the Advances, pursuant to the oversight board’s and the DOF’s approval, began during fiscal year 2019-20. During fiscal year 2022-23, the City received a final determination from the California Department of Finance that these advances would not be deemed an enforceable obligation. There is no financial statement impact as these balances were offset by an allowance for doubtful accounts in previous years.
The California State Controller was directed to review the propriety of any transfers of assets between the Dissolved RDA and other public bodies that occurred after January 1, 2011. The State Controller completed its review on March 14, 2013 and did not identify any unallowable transfers of assets that occurred between the Dissolved RDA and the City or other public agencies.
SARDA’s use and disposition of all real properties held (Long Range Property Management Plan (“LRPMP”), was approved by the DOF on June 2, 2014. The LRPMP allowed the SARDA to transfer property used for government purposes with a cost basis of $6,390,263 to the City.
Stipulated Judgment
On May 15, 1991, the Riverside County Superior Court entered a final judgment incorporating the terms of a Stipulation for Entry of Judgment (“Original Stipulation”) in Case No. 51124 and a Stipulation for Entry of Judgment pursuant to Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (“Settlement Agreement”) in Case No. 51124, among the Dissolved RDA, the City, the Western Center on Law and Poverty, Inc., California Rural Legal Assistance, and others. On June 18, 1997 and on September 20, 2002, the Riverside County Superior Court amended the judgment, incorporating Stipulations Amending Stipulation for Entry of Judgment.
The judgment, as amended (the “Judgment”), generally required the Dissolved RDA to use 20% of its tax increment revenues, and additional tax increment revenues if necessary, to develop, rehabilitate, or otherwise financially assist affordable housing units and to meet certain housing needs of the City. Before dissolution, the Dissolved RDA used its Housing Set-Aside to fulfill its obligations under the Judgment (including the payment of debt service on the Housing Bonds issued to finance and refinance affordable housing projects that satisfied the requirements of both the Judgment and the relevant Redevelopment Law provisions). While the low and moderate income housing fund and the requirement to deposit the Housing Set-Aside into such fund have been eliminated upon the Dissolved RDA’s dissolution, SARDA continues to recognize the Judgment as its enforceable obligation. On its 83

ROPS, the SARDA has included line items designated as “Stipulation Judgment Case No. 51124,” listing the amounts necessary to fulfill its obligations under the Judgment (after taking into account the amounts already listed for the repayment of the Housing Bonds). While the DOF originally approved such line items, the DOF changed its position beginning with ROPS 14-15A (i.e., covering the period commencing July 1, 2014).
On August 14, 2014, SARDA filed an action, SARDA to the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency v. Michael Cohen, Sacramento Superior Court Case No. 34-2014-00167698 (the “Successor Agency Lawsuit”), seeking to compel the DOF to permit payment of the affordable housing obligations mandated by the Judgment. Subsequently, in view of the fact that there were similar cases pending in the California Court of Appeal (Third District), the SARDA voluntarily dismissed its action without prejudice pending resolution of those other cases. To date, none of the other cases has resulted in a decision that would compel the DOF to permit payment of the obligations under the Judgment as an enforceable obligation.
The assets and liabilities of the Dissolved RDA (except for those transferred to the Housing Successor and reported in the Housing Asset Fund) have been transferred to the SARDA. The SARDA is acting in a fiduciary capacity for the assets and liabilities. Disclosures related to these transactions are as follows:
Capital Assets
During the year ending June 30, 2023, the SARDA sold land with a cost basis of $6,682,705 for a sales price of $12,167,792. These proceeds are required to be remitted to the County of Riverside for distribution to the taxing entities in accordance with the Health and Safety Code. As of June 30, 2023, $7,660,205 has been remitted to the County of Riverside and the remaining $4,507,587 has been accrued in Due to Other Governments for distribution in Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

(1) Historical information is required only for measurement for which GASB 68 is applicable. Fiscal Year 2015 was the first year of implementation, therefore only nine years are shown.
Benefit Changes: The figures above generally include any liability impact that may have resulted from voluntary benefit changes that occurred on or before the measurement date. However, offers of Two Years Additional Service Credit (a.k.a. Golden Handshakes) that occurred after the valuation date are not included in the figures above, unless the liability impact is deemed to be material by the plan actuary.
Changes of Assumptions: None in 2020-2022. In 2019, demographic assumptions and inflation rate were changed in accordance to the CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Assumptions December 2017. There were no changes in the discount rate. In 2018, the discount rate was reduced from
7.65% to 7.15%. In 2017, there were no changes. In 2016, amounts reported reflect an adjustment of the discount rate from 7.50% (net of administrative expense) to 7.65% (without a reduction for pension plan administrative expense). In 2015, amounts reported were based on the 7.50% discount rate. 88

BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING
The City used the following procedures in establishing the budgetary data reported in the financial statements:
1. Before the beginning of the fiscal year, the City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed budget for the year commencing the following July 1.
2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
3. The budget is subsequently adopted through passage of a resolution.
4. Expenditures for the General Fund cannot exceed amounts budgeted at the departmental level, which is the legal level of control. For other funds, expenditures cannot exceed the total amount budgeted for each fund, which is the legal level of control.
The City Manager is authorized to transfer appropriations (without council approval) between an object of a General Fund Department and authority to adjust intra-and outer departmental budgeted line items, as well as inter-fund transfers, provided such adjustments do not exceed the total approved budget. The City Council approves all other changes. Annual appropriation amounts lapse at year-end.
5. Encumbrances and continuing appropriations are rebudgeted as of July 1, by Council action.
6. Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for all governmental funds except for certain special revenue funds and capital projects funds, which adopt project length budgets and debt service funds that are not budgeted as effective budgetary control is achieved through debt indenture provisions. The following funds did not have legally adopted budgets during the current fiscal year:

* Per HDL there was an artifact change in the Riverside County Assessors data that occurred primarily between 2018 and 2019, new vs old system differences, the few properties which are listed as having asssessed value and being non-taxable are either new to the roll or are newly non-taxable for 2019.
Notes: Property Taxes in Riverside County are subject to the State of California's Proposition 13, Jarvis-Gann Initiative which allows reappraisals of real property only when there is a change in ownership or new construction takes place. Further, the proposition limits property assessment increase to no more than two(2%) percent annually. Property is assessed at one hundred percent (100%) of its fair market value at the time of new construction or change in ownership.
The tax rate is one (1%) percent of the assessed value.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Palm Desert, California
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Palm Desert, California (the “City”) for the year ended June 30, 2023. Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards and, Government Auditing Standards and the Uniform Guidance, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our letter to you dated January 30, 2024. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.
Significant Audit Matters
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by the City are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the City changed accounting policies related to conduit debt obligations, subscription-based information technology arrangements, and public-private and public-public partnerships and availability payment arrangements, and by adopting Statement of Governmental Accounting Standards (GASB Statement) Nos. 91, 94, and 96, in fiscal year 2022-2023. Accordingly, the cumulative effect of the accounting change as of the beginning of the year is reported in the Governmental and Enterprise statements. We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events.
Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the City’s financial statements were:
Management’s estimates of the net pension liability and net other postemployment benefits liability are based on actuarial valuation estimates. We evaluated the methods, assumptions, and data used to develop the actuarial valuation estimates in determining that they are reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Palm Desert, California
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. The attached schedule summarizes uncorrected misstatements of the financial statements. Management has determined that their effects are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole. The uncorrected misstatements or the matters underlying them could potentially cause future period financial statements to be materially misstated, even though, in our judgment, such uncorrected misstatements are immaterial to the financial statements under audit. In addition, none of the misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to each opinion unit’s financial statements taken as a whole.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated January 30, 2024.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the City’s financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor’s opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.
Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the City’s auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.
Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to management’s discussion and analysis, the budgetary comparison schedules for the General Fund and the major special revenue funds, and the required pension and other postemployment benefits schedules, which are required supplementary information (RSI) that supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.
We were engaged to report on the combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. With respect to this supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Palm Desert, California
information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.
We were not engaged to report on other information included in the annual report which is comprised of the introductory and statistical sections, which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. Such information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.
Future GASB Pronouncements
The following Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) pronouncements will be effective for the following fiscal years’ audits and should be reviewed for proper implementation by management:
Fiscal Year 2023-2024
GASB Statement No. 99, Omnibus 2022.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON
COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Palm Desert, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of The City of Palm Desert, California (the “City”), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated January 30, 2024.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements, on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements.
However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Palm Desert, California
Purpose of This Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.
Brea, California
January 30, 2024
CITY OF PALM DESERT
FISCAL YEAR 2022- 2023
APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT CALCULATION
Article XIII B of the California Constitution requires adoption of an annual appropriation limit. The original base year limit was adopted in FY 1978-79 and has been adjusted annually for increase by a factor comprised of the percentage change in population combined with either the percentage change in California per capita personal income or the percentage change in local assessment roll due to the addition of local nonresidential new construction. The changes in the local assessment roll due to additional local nonresidential new construction for current and prior periods have not been available from the County Assessor's office.
On November 1988, voters approved Proposition R which increased the limit to $25,000,000. It expired in November 1992. The FY 1993-94 limit was calculated with prior years re-calculated to reflect the expiration of the 25,000,000 limit.

REQUEST: RECEIVE AND FILE THE INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON
AGREED-UPON PROCEDURES PERFORMED ON THE MEASURE A
TRANSPORTATION FUND FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file the Independent Accountants’ Report on Agreed-Upon Procedures Performed on the Measure A Transportation Fund for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The Measure A fund is a special revenue fund that was created to keep track of funds received by the Riverside County Transportation Commission. In 1988, Riverside County voters approved a half cent sales tax, known as Measure A, to fund a variety of highway improvements, local streets and roads maintenance, commuter assistance and specialized transit projects.
Conrad LLP performed the procedures that were agreed to by the Riverside County Transportation Commission, Riverside, California (RCTC) solely to assist RCTC with respect to an evaluation of the City of Palm Desert’s Measure A Transportation Fund and degree of the City’s compliance with RCTC requirements for the year ended June 30, 2023.
The agreed-upon procedures report issued by Conrad LLP found the City in compliance with its Maintenance of Effort (MOE) requirements but noted an accumulated excess fund balance of $6.9 million from prior year revenues. The City has budgeted $19.1 million in Measure A expenditures in Fiscal Year 2023-24, which are anticipated to draw down the $6.9 million excess along with $12.2 million in additional accumulated fund balance.
Staff requests that the City Council receive and file the Independent Accountants’ Report on Agreed-Upon Procedures Performed on the Measure A Transportation Fund for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s office.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: February 15, 2024
PREPARED BY: Shelby Goodwin, Special Events Coordinator REQUEST: APPROVE SPECIAL EVENT PREPAID EXPENDITURES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024/25
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve prepaid expenditures in an amount not to exceed $130,000 from the Fiscal Year 2024/25 Budget for production of the 2024 Independence Day Celebration and October Concerts in the Park Series.
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute vendor contracts associated with production of the events.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
For over three (3) decades the City of Palm Desert has produced a large-scale Independence Day Celebration, which attracts over 10,000 spectators to Palm Desert Civic Center Park each year. For most of this time, the annual fireworks display has been provided without incident by Pyro Spectaculars, one of the most reputable pyrotechnics companies in the United States and which has received high praise every year from the Riverside County Fire Marshal’s office. In accordance with the City’s purchasing policy, staff plans to enter a three (3)-year contract with Pyro Spectaculars, contingent on annual budget approval, with a one (1)-year option to extend for a total amount of $155,500 ($150,500 for three displays plus ancillary costs not to exceed $5,000 for permits required to be paid by vendor to the Riverside County Fire Marshal’s Office).
The total cost quoted for the 2024 fireworks display is $48,920 which requires a $24,920.00 deposit paid by the City by March 4, 2024.
Additional festivities for this event include food trucks, a variety of vendors, children’s activities, a color guard presentation, and live music followed by the 20-minute fireworks display synchronized to patriotic music simulcast on local radio stations. Anticipated expenditures for the celebration, some of which require contracting and payment prior to July 1, 2024, include:
Professional sound and lighting services in conjunction with the concert Two (2) live onsite radio remotes
Radio promotion
Shuttle services to transport attendees between The Gardens on El Paseo and the Civic Center Park

The City produces a Concert in the Park Series every Thursday evening in May and October.
The October 2024 Concerts in the Park Series includes a fifth Thursday, which happens to fall on Halloween. To ensure booking of top-notch entertainment for the evening, staff would like to contract with a band prior to July 1, 2024.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s office.
Strategic Plan:
Preapproval of FY 2024/2025 event expenditures would help address the following priorities as specified in the 2013-2033 Strategic Plan, Envision Palm Desert – Forward Together:
Economic Development Priority 3: Create and attract entertainment and events to enhance and expand the Palm Desert economy and lifestyle. Tourism and Marketing Priority 2: Grow existing events and develop new events to enhance the desirability of Palm Desert as a year-round destination.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for the 2024 Independence Day Celebration has increased from $80,000 to $120,000 from 2023 due to inclusion of both public safety services and Fire Marshal permit fees (separate from those paid by the vendor), both of which were paid for from the City’s Public Safety Budget in previous years, as well as general inflation. Following is an estimated breakdown for the event moving forward:
2024 Independence Day Celebration Additional $40,000
Police Services $20,000
Fire Marshal Permits $10,000
General Inflation $10,000
The advance requested to contract with a band for the October 31, 2024, concert is $10,000.
Additional funds for the 2024 October Concerts in the Park Series will be requested as part of the FY 2024/2025 Budget.
Funding for these two (2) items in the amount of $130,000 will be included as part of the anticipated FY 2024/2025 Budget City Produced Events Account No. 1104416-4306101.

MEETING DATE: February 15, 2024
PREPARED BY: Randy Chavez, Deputy Director of Public Works REQUEST: PURCHASE OF A STREET SWEEPER TO IMPROVE CITYWIDE
ROADWAY AND PARKING LOT MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Authorize the purchase of an Elgin Broom Bear Street Sweeper from Haaker Equipment Company from La Verne, California, in the amount of $454,194.27.
2. Authorize the Director of Finance to set aside a contingency of $25,000 for any unforeseen fees and ancillary equipment.
3. Authorize the Finance Director to appropriate funds in the amount $479,194.27 from unobligated Equipment Replacement Fund to Account No. 5304310-4403000.
4. Authorize City Manager or designee to approve the use of the contingency and any documents necessary to effectuate actions taken herewith.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
Summary:
Over recent years, Palm Desert has received numerous occurrences of windborne sand events and a corresponding rise in demands for improved roadway and parking lot sweeping maintenance. As a result, staff reviewed its street sweeping operations, including the current outsourced level of service, and best practices. After review, staff recommends purchasing a diesel street sweeper, which is readily available today (no lead time) with approval of this item.
Issue:
Windborne sand events have been increasing over the years, leading to an increase in requests for street sweeping services. Consequently, the City's street sweeping operations have been unable to keep up with desired service levels. The necessity for maintaining clean and debrisfree streets has emerged as a priority for the City’s ongoing development and maintenance efforts, as well as the need for continual emergency preparation.
Existing Operations:
To effectively remove windborne sand from roadways, a combination of proactive measures and responsive cleaning techniques are employed. The City implements regular street sweeping, dust control measures, vegetation plantation, and barrier installation. Contracted sweeping services include:
City of Palm Desert
Authorize Purchase of Street Sweeper
Regular Street Sweeping Services (Bi-weekly): The City contracts with a vendor for arterial and parking lot sweeping for $230,000 annually until June 30, 2028. This covers all costs for bi-weekly sweeping, and the vendor's performance has been satisfactory. CVAG Sweeping Services (Bi-weekly): CVAG's sweeping vendor, funded through AB2766, sweeps major arterials in Palm Desert (Attachment A). However, they fall short of the City's standards due to traffic volume, sand accumulation, and other reasons.
Despite outreach, issues persist. The City allocates $60,000 annually for this service.
Staff have reached out for quotes for additional sweeping and are awaiting a response. Additional Sweeping Services (As-needed): The City contracts with its vendor for extra services during severe weather. The City recently spent $22,000 on rental equipment in June and July 2023 and invested $100,000 post-Hilary Storm. Securing a street sweeper during emergencies took around 30 days in the latest event, impacting prompt response.
Street Sweeper Cost Analysis
Description Annual Cost
Rented Street Sweeper ($14,000 / month): $168,000
Major One-time Event (per year): $50,000
Annual Rental Total: $218,000
Average Lifespan (4 to 8 years): 5
Rental Cost / Additional Emergency Sweeping (5 years): $1,090,000 Purchase New Street Sweeper: $480,000
Equipment Comparison:
Staff contacted Haaker Equipment Company to request quotes for different equipment types.
This company provides pricing pursuant to a cooperative purchasing agreement through Sourcewell. By utilizing this cooperative pricing schedule, the City is assured of the best pricing on quality products. Accordingly, staff dispensed further bidding pursuant to Palm Desert Municipal Code Section 3.30.160(E).
The table below assumes purchasing a mechanical broom street sweeper with the capacity of over four-cubic yards, which aligns with best practices. The table is also categorized by power source, delivery time and contract price. Please note that the contract prices cover direct costs (e.g., equipment and initial training) but not indirect costs (e.g., maintenance and spare parts).
Equipment Comparison
Power Source Delivery Time Contract Price
Electric 12 Months $ 974,850.89
CNG 12-18 Months $ 573,395.94
Diesel Immediately $ 454,194.27
City of Palm Desert
Authorize Purchase of Street Sweeper
Equipment Comparison:
Staff recommends the purchase of an Elgin Broom Bear Street Sweeper (diesel) from Haaker Equipment Company in an amount totaling $454,194.27. The recommendation also incorporates a contingency of $25,000 for additional brooms and unforeseen fees. The recommendation of this model is based upon several factors including:
Immediate Availability: The street sweeper is readily available for purchase with no lead time, ensuring swift deployment to address occurrences of windborne sand events. In fact, this is the last remaining diesel street sweeper inventory, and newer model diesel street sweepers are prohibited for municipal fleet sale in California beginning 2024. Reduced Upfront Expenses: As displayed, the diesel street sweeper has significantly lower upfront expenses compared to electric and CNG alternatives. Reliability in Emergency Situations: In emergency situations, a diesel-powered sweeper is more reliable than electric and CNG alternatives. It can operate independently during grid failures or prolonged operations, ensuring continued functionality. Proven Suitability for Desert Communities: Mechanical broom sweepers are suited for desert communities like Palm Desert. They are designed to effectively clean and remove sand and debris, addressing the unique challenges posed by windborne sand events.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s office.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: February 15, 2024
PREPARED BY: Shawn Muir, Community Services Manager
REQUEST: REAFFIRM APPROVAL OF A CONSERVATION EASEMENT WITH THE
COACHELLA VALLEY CONSERVATION COMMISSION FOR LANDS
WITHIN THE COACHELLA VALLEY MULTIPLE SPECIES HABITAT
CONSERVATION PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Reaffirm approval of the Conservation Easement with the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission (CVCC) for lands within the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Program (CVMSHCP).
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Conservation Easement document.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On August 23, 2012, staff presented a request for approval of a Conservation Easement for approximately 116-acres in south Palm Desert. The recommendation was to direct staff to prepare and execute the Conservation Easement due to the loss of the Redevelopment Agency and the desire to protect properties in the hillsides that were acquired for preservation/open space. The City Council voted 3-2 to approve the Conservation Easement; however, the document was not finalized and signed.
Staff was made aware of the need to coordinate with the CVCC and other organizations to finalize and execute the Conservation Easement in August 2022, as no documentation of the recorded easement could be located. Staff worked with CVCC who also coordinated with the various wildlife organizations involved to prepare the Conservation Easement. This easement document has been approved by the Wildlife Agencies as the template for future conservation easements developed under the CVMSHCP.
Legal Review:
Both the City Attorney and CVCC Legal Counsel have been involved in the development of the Conservation Easement. They have each reviewed and approved the final Conservation Easement document for final execution.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact associated with this action; however, the City will accurately have the approximately 116-acres covered by the Conservation Easement counted toward the required CVMSHCP contribution.

If, despite this express intent, the doctrine of merger applies to extinguish the Conservation Easement then, unless Grantor, Grantee, USFWS, and CDFW otherwise agree in writing, a replacement conservation easement or restrictive covenant containing the same protections embodied in this Conservation Easement shall promptly be recorded against the Property by Grantee, or its successor in interest, in favor of a third party approved in writing by USFWS and CDFW to ensure that the mitigation obligations required under the NCCP Permit and Section 10(a) Permit, which include conservation of the Property in perpetuity through execution and recordation of a conservation easement or equivalent legal mechanism, and the purposes of California Civil Code section 815, are fulfilled. Until such replacement conservation easement or equivalent legal mechanism is executed and recorded, Grantee or its successor in interest shall continue to protect the Property in accordance with the terms of the original Conservation Easement. Any and all terms and conditions of this Conservation Easement shall be deemed covenants and restrictions upon the Property, which shall run with the land according to California law and otherwise exist in perpetuity.
14. Notices. Any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, or communication that Grantor or Grantee desires or is required to give to the other shall be in writing, with a copy to USFWS and CDFW, and be served personally or sent by recognized overnight courier that guarantees next-day delivery or by first class mail, postage fully prepaid, addressed as follows:

CITY OF PALM DESERT
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: February 15, 2024
PREPARED BY: Eric Ceja, Director of Economic Development REQUEST: RECEIVE AND FILE AN INFORMATIONAL REPORT FOR THE CITYOWNED PARCEL LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF
OCOTILLO DRIVE AND TUMBLEWEED LANE
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file an informational report for the City-owned parcel located at the northeast corner of Ocotillo Drive and Tumbleweed Lane.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
During the 2023 Council Goal Study Session the Council adopted a series of Goals and Research items for staff to complete. One of those research items was to explore options for a parking lot at the City-owned parcel at the northeast corner of Ocotillo Drive and Tumbleweed Lane (shown below).
PIQ
City of Palm Desert
Ocotillo Drive and Tumbleweed Lane
In 2008, the City acquired the 0.53-acre site with the intent of developing a public parking lot. In 2011, the City relocated residents and demolished the 12-unit apartment complex that occupied the site. In 2014, in Closed Session, the City Council directed staff to “proceed with the necessary steps required to utilize designated Bond Proceeds for the construction of a gradelevel parking facility on the property.” However, due to on-going development interest in the area, including how the City-owned parcel could contribute to development in the area, the project was put on hold. The site remains vacant with sparse native landscape.
Yield Study and Cost Estimate
The City Engineer was able to provide a rough yield study for the number of parking spaces that could be developed on this site. Approximately 37 parking stalls can be developed on the site with vehicle driveway access to both Tumbleweed Lane and Ocotillo Drive. The cost estimate associated with this lot, including engineering, construction, and contingency, is just under $500,000.
Parking Demand and new Development
In 2016, as part of the City’s General Plan update, the City contracted with Fehrs and Peers for a parking demand study. The study analyzed parking demand and availability along El Paseo and Highway 111 between Monterey Avenue and Portola Avenue. The study concluded that there is sufficient parking overall within the Downtown boundaries and that approximately 45% of spaces are occupied at peak times. For the area around Ocotillo Drive and Tumbleweed Lane, the study showed that, at peak demand, the parking area behind the Daily Grill was 60% occupied and the parking area adjacent to the City-owned site at the Galleria was less than 20% occupied. Although the study was completed in 2016, there have been no significant building additions or square footage increases in this area that would have created additional parking demand.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s office.
Strategic Plan:
Staff’s recommendation does not accomplish any of the priorities identified in the City’s Strategic Plan.
Appointed Body Recommendation:
Staff reviewed this information with the Economic Development Subcommittee (EDS) on January 9, 2024. Based on the information described above the EDS recommended not moving forward with the project until additional parking demand and parking need in the immediate area is demonstrated.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with staff’s recommendation.
