Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether 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. 723
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 entity’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 entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

FISCAL YEAR 2023-2024
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.

MEETING DATE: February 13, 2025
PREPARED BY: Cesar Lopez, Associate Engineer
Richard D. Cannone, AICP, Development Services Director SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO REPEAL AND REPLACE THE CITY OF
PALM DESERT STANDARD DETAILS AND DESIGN GUIDELINES
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution entitled, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, TO REPEAL AND REPLACE RESOLUTION NO. 2024-077
WHICH ADOPTED THE CITY OF PALM DESERT STANDARD DETAILS AND DESIGN GUIDELINES AND MAKING A FINDING OF EXEMPTION UNDER CEQA.” BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On October 24, 2024, the City of Palm Desert City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-077 approving updated City of Palm Desert Standard Details and Design Guidelines (Standards) to refine the standards and provide additional minimum criteria for the design, materials, and methods of construction for common items of public and private infrastructure including, but not limited to, streets, storm drains, landscaping, traffic control devices, and streetlights. These Standards have been implemented and are now in effect. However, upon further review, inconsistencies in some illustrations have been identified that require clarification for accurate implementation.
To avoid a questionable interpretation and enforceability of the guidelines, the recommendation is to repeal and replace the Standards to incorporate the items listed below.
The list below specifically identifies the revisions which will be made for implementation:

Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office.
Environment Review:
The City of Palm Desert (City), in its capacity as the Lead Agency for this project, finds that the project is exempt from CEQA since the proposed Standards do not alter the physical environment and qualify for a CEQA exemption under Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) since there is no substantial evidence that there is any possibility that the approval of these Standards will have a significant effect on the environment. This does not consist of a project and therefore exempt from any environmental review under CEQA.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no direct financial impact to the General Fund associated with adopting these Standards. However, operational savings may be realized over time, through more consistent and standardized public improvements.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: February 13, 2025
PREPARED BY: Randy Chavez, Deputy Director of Public Works SUBJECT: APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO CONTRACT NO. C40350 WITH ST.
FRANCIS ELECTRIC, LLC, FOR TRAFFIC SIGNAL PREVENTIVE
MAINTENANCE AND EMERGENCY ON-CALL SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve Amendment No. 4 to Contract No. C40350 with St. Francis Electric, LLC, of Riverside, California, for traffic signal preventive maintenance and emergency on-call services to increase compensation in amount not to exceed $200,000 annually.
2. Authorize the City Attorney to make necessary non-monetary changes to the agreement.
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute said amendment.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The City contracts for supplemental routine traffic signal maintenance and emergency on-call services to address issues arising from normal wear and tear, collision damage, vandalism, or other factors requiring additional traffic signal maintenance support.
On August 27, 2020, Contract No. C40350 was awarded to St. Francis Electric for maintenance and emergency on-call services, initially in the amount of $50,000 annually for two years, with options for three one-year extensions. Following the second amendment, the contract was extended, and the annual value was increased to $100,000 to address ongoing service needs.
The City exercised the final one-year extension, effective July 1, 2024, at $100,000 annually.
The City has used approximately $80,000 of the current contract funding, leaving a remaining balance of $20,000. In addition, unforeseen repairs, including a recent damaged pole at Country Club Drive and Liberty Drive costing an estimated $30,000, have created an immediate need for additional resources.
Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 4 to the contract with St. Francis Electric, increasing the funding by $100,000 and bringing the total to $200,000 for Fiscal Year 2024-25.
This amendment will address current contract shortfalls and ensure sufficient resources for traffic signal maintenance and emergency repairs throughout the remainder of the fiscal year.
As this is the final fiscal year of the current agreement, staff will issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to identify contractors for traffic signal preventative maintenance and emergency on-call services under a multi-year contract beginning in Fiscal Year 2025-26.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office. 829
City of Palm Desert

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Fiscal Year 2024-25 Annual Budget includes funds in the amount of $311,500 for Traffic Signals Repair and Maintenance under account 1104250-4332500.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

This highly anticipated annual event has featured a spectacular fireworks display, provided by Pyro Spectaculars, a nationally recognized pyrotechnics company known for its safety record and exceptional service.
On February 28, 2024, the City entered into a three-year contract with Pyro Spectaculars, with the option for a one-year extension. The 3-year contract, totaling $155,500, covers three annual displays, with the cost of the 2025 display set at $50,000, plus additional costs for permits not to exceed $5,000, as required by the Riverside County Fire Marshal’s Office. The agreement specifies a deposit of $25,000 to be paid by March 4, 2025.
In addition to the fireworks, the event features a variety of attractions, including food trucks, vendors, children's activities, a color guard presentation, and live music. The fireworks display is synchronized to patriotic music and broadcast on local radio stations, lasting approximately 20 minutes.
To ensure the success of the celebration, the following expenditures in an amount not to exceed $130,000 are anticipated for the event, many of which require contracts and payments to be finalized prior to July 1, 2025:

PREPARED BY: Neal Ennis, Project Manager
Jess Culpepper, Director of Capital Projects
SUBJECT: APPROVE CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 TO CONTRACT C47830 WITH GRANITE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY FOR THE PD LINK PHASE 2
PROJECT (PROJECT NO. CST00005)
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve Change Order No. 1 to Contract C47830 with Granite Construction Company, of Indio, California, in the amount of $151,757.33 for the PD Link Phase 2 Project (Project No.
CST00005).
2. Appropriate $35,157.33 from unobligated Measure A Fund Balance to Account No. 2134670- 5000202.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On August 22, 2024, the City Council awarded a contract to Granite Construction Company in the amount of $1,166,000, with a 10% contingency. The project commenced on September 23, 2024, and is scheduled to be completed by February 21, 2025.
During the project's construction, several issues were identified that required attention. Notably, the construction of a new path along the CVWD right-of-way, connecting Painters Path across the Palm Valley Channel, exceeded the engineer's original estimate. This was due to the need to realign the path to avoid obstacles, such as boulders and earthen berms. Additionally, the quantities for ADA ramps required in the project surpassed initial estimates. These elements led to an increased project cost.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office.
Project Description:
This project enhances the City's bicycle and pedestrian network by installing Class II bike lanes and ADA improvements on various streets. It establishes key connections between Town Center Way, El Paseo, the Painter’s Path extension to the Bump and Grind Trailhead, and CV Link.
Additionally, it links the El Paseo Business District to the San Pablo Corridor and Civic Center Park, improving accessibility and connectivity for cyclists and pedestrians.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: February 13, 2025
PREPARED BY: Veronica Chavez, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTIONS APPROVING THE FISCAL YEAR 2024-25 MIDYEAR BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS AND REVISED STAFF ALLOCATION
SCHEDULE
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt a Resolution entitled, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2024-25 BUDGET AS A RESULT OF MID-YEAR ADJUSTMENTS.”
2. Authorize the Director of Finance to appropriate and transfer unobligated funds from Capital Projects Account No. 4004199-4501000 to General Fund Account No. 1100000-3910000 to cover mid-year requests in the total amount of $1,326,110.
3. Adopt a Resolution entitled, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING AUTHORIZED CLASSIFICATIONS AND ALLOCATED POSITIONS INCLUDED HEREIN ATTACHED AS EXHIBIT “A” AND RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 2024-047.”
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
Throughout the budget cycle, staff actively monitors actual revenues and expenditures and prepares a mid-year report for the City Council. The update allows staff to advise the City Council on major budget trends (revenue and expenditure) and propose changes where necessary to meet ongoing service demands or modifications related to economics or other factors. This report provides an update for the General Fund Operating Budget and Other Funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25 and outlines proposed budget adjustments for both general and other funds.
Based on staff’s analysis, budget revisions are recommended to 1) implement required technical/rebalancing actions to align existing revenue estimates and expenditure budgets with the most current tracking information, 2) reallocate funding among appropriations based on updated needs, 3) implement technical and net-zero adjustments between revenue categories and expenditure appropriations; and 4) account for new or adjusted grants, reimbursements, or fees.
DISCUSSION:
On June 26, 2024, the City Council approved the City’s FY 2024-25 budget with an estimated revenue surplus of $159,865 in the City’s General Fund.
In addition to the approval of the operating budget, the FY 2024-25 Annual Budget authorized appropriations from the General Fund Reserve balance in the amount of $16,824,960, most of which were contingent upon the success of the November 5th election approving Measure G, a one-cent sales and use tax increase. Table A below reflects the intended use of those reserve funds:

Additional appropriations have been approved from the reserve throughout the fiscal year and are included in the summary of appropriations on page 4 of this report.
General Fund Revenues
The original estimate for FY 2024-25 General Fund revenues was $83,222,877, representing an increase of approximately $7.66 million (10%) over the FY 2023-24 budget. This estimate was based on recovery indicators and anticipated development activity within the City. What was not known at that time was the impact of the current economic factors as they relate to shoppers and visitors or if Measure G would, in fact, be approved in November.
Staff has continued to evaluate the actual year-to-date revenues and determined that the original estimates need to be increased in the amount of $4.46 million (5.3%) over the originally projected revenues. Although an increase in revenue is necessary, it should be noted that $4 million of that is directly related to Measure G sales tax revenues, so compared to the vast growth the City realized post-pandemic, revenue has begun to normalize. Sales Tax has begun to show some settling as anticipated, and it is estimated to show an overall decline of approximately 7.5% by June 30th.
One-Time payment (increase) of Timeshare Mitigation Fees. Although Transient Occupancy Tax remains on track with prior year receipts, history has shown it trends with Sales Tax revenue.
Permits and fees have seen moderate decreases related to current development activity in the City.
Interest earnings indicate a slight increase this year as it continues to trend with prior year end actuals.
An updated estimate was provided by the County Auditor-Controller, relative to Library related property tax revenue, showing a decrease to the original estimate. Measure G Sales Tax Revenue will be implemented on April 1, 2025, and is anticipated to generate about $4M in the 2nd Quarter of 2025.
Table B summarizes the net increase of $4.46M to General Fund Revenues:

(FY 2024-25 Midyear Budget Adjustments and Staff Allocation Update)
General Fund Expenditures
The original estimate for FY 2023-24 General Fund appropriations was $83,063,012, representing an approximate increase of $7.71 million (10%) compared to FY 2023-24. The original projections included increases in professional services costs, personnel services and benefits related to the MOU negotiations, the cost of contracts due to anticipated labor increases, supply chain issues, and the addition of the new Library Department.
Post FY 2024-25 Annual Budget Approval
The Annual Budget includes the five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). In the CIP Plan, staff includes any balance from the prior year that needs to be carried over into the subsequent year to complete tasks. Staff also identified projects in the General Fund that were transferred to the Capital Projects Fund as they misstated operating costs. Finally, additional appropriations have been approved by the City Council since the FY 2024-25 Annual Budget request due to unforeseen circumstances/costs. Below is a summary of each of those changes:
Table D
As noted in Table D above, a net zero increase to appropriations is being requested for the General Fund. Staff actively reallocates funds whenever possible to absorb increased costs and maximize use of funds currently allocated. Funds are available in the Capital Projects Fund and may be reallocated. Tables E and F show midyear requests by category and department:

(FY 2024-25 Midyear Budget Adjustments and Staff Allocation Update)
Other Governmental Funds
Other Governmental Funds typically consist of several other types of restrictive purpose funds:
Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds, Capital Improvement Funds, Internal Service Funds, Enterprise Funds, and Fiduciary Funds. Like the General Fund, the Other Funds require adjustments to 1) implement required technical/rebalancing actions to align existing revenue estimates and expenditure budgets with the most current tracking information, 2) reallocate funding among appropriations based on updated needs; and 3) implement a number of technical and net-zero adjustments between revenue categories and expenditure appropriations.
Other funds include transportation, signalization, parks, drainage, fire facility fees, housing mitigation, art in public places, childcare facilities, grant funds, recycling, aquatic center, enterprise funds (including Desert Willow and Parkview Office Complex), capital improvement funds, internal service funds, debt service, assessment districts, landscape and lighting districts and housing authority funds. Estimated revenues for FY 2024-25 for Other Funds were approved at $90,573,174 with an appropriation of $141,834,225. The variance of $51,261,051 was to be 910
City of Palm Desert
(FY 2024-25 Midyear Budget Adjustments and Staff Allocation Update)
absorbed by Fund Balance and transfers from the General Fund, if necessary. Following staff’s analysis, we anticipate a net decrease to appropriations in Other Funds. Most of the decrease is related to the timing of the Fire Station Renovation/Rehab at Stations 33 and 71. Revenue increases are primarily related to grant funding allocations, aquatic facility fee increases, and interest earnings. Table G provides the breakdown of the net decrease to Other Funds:

Q3: What is the rationale for implementing position upgrades mid-year instead of as part of the new budget cycle?
A3: The approach to mid-year position upgrades is guided by established personnel policies and the authority granted to the City Manager to make necessary adjustments throughout the fiscal year.
SECTION I - ALLOCATED POSITIONS AND AUTHORIZED CLASSIFICATIONS The City of Palm Desert’s Personnel System, Section 2.52 of the Palm Desert Municipal Code prescribes specific terms for appointment and tenure of all City employees. Exhibit A contains the tables of salary ranges that will be retroactively effective to July 1, 2024.
The City Manager is annually authorized to modify the Allocated Classifications, Positions and Salary Schedule during each fiscal year that he determines are reasonably necessary or appropriate for business necessity including, without limitation, the implementation of title and responsibility changes, any minimum wage laws, use of over-hires for training, limited term student internships and modification of vacant positions in so far as such modifications do not exceed the adopted 2024-25 budget. Such modifications have been included in the resolution and accompanying allocated positions; however, it may be necessary to modify them again based on the business necessity of the City. Changes to the allocation will be updated as necessary by the City Manager, and brought back to City Council at year-end for ratification.
Q4: While these changes remain within the current fiscal year allocations, what are the projected annualized impacts on next year’s budget?
A4: The estimated net increase for all position changes is $281,397, assuming all vacant positions are filled by the end of the fiscal year. Based on current vacancy projections, the estimated cost impact of unfilled positions is approximately $265,012.

On June 7, 2022, the Planning Commission approved by Resolution No. 2813, approving a Precise Plan (PP22-0004) for a 150-unit affordable multifamily development. The project includes eight three-story apartment buildings, a single-story clubhouse, and open space amenities on a 6.8-acre parcel, developed by Gerald Ford Apartment, LP (c/o Western National Group, 8 Executive Circle, Irvine, CA 92614). Per the resolution, bonds for public improvements were required before the grading permit (RG22-0009) was issued. This requirement was met and the following bonds were provided:
Public Improvements:
o $108,091.50 for Faithful Performance
o $108,091.50 for Labor and Materials
Grading: $173,470
On February 3, 2025, the Public Works Department verified the completion of all public improvements for this project. Additionally, the Engineer of Record has submitted the Letter of Certification verifying the completion of improvements.
Project requirements are documented in the approved grading plan (RG22-0009, PG22-0030) and the Engineer’s Estimate. A Record Drawing of the improvements is on file with the Development Services Department. Offsite improvements for Gerald Ford Drive, as specified in 951

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: February 13, 2025
PREPARED BY: Randy Chavez, Deputy Director of Public Works SUBJECT: APPROVE CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 TO CONTRACT NO. C47350 WITH CALSTRIPE, INC., FOR ON-CALL CITYWIDE STREET AND BIKE LANE STRIPING IMPROVEMENTS (PROJECT NO. MST00002)
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve Change Order No. 1 to Contract No. C47350 with Cal-Stripe, Inc., of Colton, California, for On-Call Citywide Street and Bike Lane Striping Project to increase compensation to an amount not to exceed $950,000 annually, subject to CPI.
2. Authorize City Manager to execute the change order and any documents necessary to effectuate the actions taken herewith.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
To enhance the safety and functionality of the City’s roadways and bike lanes, the City budgets funds annually for pavement marking and striping maintenance. On March 28, 2024, the City executed a 27-month maintenance services contract with Cal-Stripe, Inc. (Contract C47350) with an annual not-to-exceed amount of $450,000 and the option for two one-year extensions. Due to the efficient execution of work this fiscal year, the City has expedited much of the planned striping and maintenance ahead of schedule. As a result, additional funding is being requested to continue this momentum and address further pavement marking needs rather than delaying work until the next fiscal year.
In Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25, the Contractor successfully completed all scheduled roadway and curb maintenance activities (see attached Completed Task Orders). This included exfoliating and repainting 122,530 feet of red curbs for no-parking enforcement, striping 27,580 feet of crosswalks, and painting 3,140 feet of regulatory curbs (yellow, white, gray, and blue). In addition, 6,180 feet of crosswalks were cleaned to improve surface visibility under this contract.
Of the $450,000 allocated for FY 2024-25, $417,000 has already been expended.
While progress has been made, a backlog of deferred maintenance persists, requiring additional investment. This backlog is due to staff not requesting adequate funding in previous years and instead operating within the allocated budget. The City has also received community feedback advocating for red curb repainting to improve pedestrian safety, enhance neighborhood accessibility, and ensure clearer parking guidelines for residents and visitors. In response, red curb painting was prioritized, accounting for 74% of the expended funds in FY 2024-25.
To support maintenance efforts, staff recommends approving Change Order No. 1 with the Contractor to increase the annual not-to-exceed amount by $500,000, raising the total to $950,000. This additional funding allows the City to expand arterial striping, improving roadway safety and visibility. The proposed tasks (see Pending Task Orders) include striping along 1037
City of Palm Desert
Street and Bike Lane Striping
Highway 111, Monterey Avenue, Portola Avenue, and Washington Street, with an estimated cost of $485,000. Looking ahead, the City anticipates to allocate $950,000 in the FY 2025-26 budget to continue proactive maintenance efforts, and is currently developing a Roadway Striping Maintenance Program for future years.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Measure A funds totaling $450,000 were allocated in the approved Capital Improvement Project (CIP) List for FY 2024-25 across two projects: the Citywide Street Striping and Lane Improvements Project and the Bike Lane Striping Project. Cost savings from these projects is available for transfer to the Street Resurfacing Program Account No. 2134315-4332000 to facilitate this request. There is no impact to the General Fund.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 28, 2024
PREPARED BY: Randy Chavez, Deputy Director of Public Works REQUEST: AWARD A CONTRACT TO CAL-STRIPE, INC., FOR ON-CALL CITYWIDE
STREET AND BIKE LANE STRIPING IMPROVEMENTS IN AN ANNUAL AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $450,000 (MST00002)
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Award a 27-month contract to Cal-Stripe, Inc. for On-call Citywide Street and Bike Lane Striping Improvements in an annual amount not to exceed $450,000, with the option of two, one-year extensions.
2. Authorize the City Manager to review and approve written contract amendment and change order requests for unanticipated conditions per Section 3.30.170 of the Palm Desert Municipal Code.
3. Authorize the City Attorney to make any necessary non-monetary changes to the agreement.
4. Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement and any documents necessary to effectuate the actions taken herewith.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
To ensure the safety and functionality of City roadways and parking lots, annual contracting for striping services remains an integral component of our infrastructure maintenance efforts.
As part of this commitment, on January 24, 2024, the City released a Request For Proposal (RFP) for on-call striping services. This encompasses all public sites in Palm Desert needing new striping or re-striping, including bike lanes, roadways, and parking lots. The scope also incorporates repainting of red curbs throughout various streets citywide. While previous services have been on a project basis, the City is opting for an on-call basis to provide greater flexibility and efficiency.
The City received three proposals from companies by the deadline of February 22, 2024. The companies submitting proposals include:
Company Location
Cal-Stripe, Inc. Colton, CA
Superior Pavement Marking Inc. Cypress, CA
PCI Azuza, CA
A Selection Committee comprising of three staff members from the Public Works and Capital Projects Departments reviewed the proposals. The proposals were reviewed for clarity and conformance with the guidelines, content of the proposal, experience and performance, comments by references, and fee proposal (range of costs). As demonstrated below, all three 1041
City of Palm Desert
(On-call Street and Bike Lane Striping)
companies provided the necessary information and satisfactorily fulfilled the essential criteria required in this RFP.
Criteria Cal-Stripe Superior Pavement PCI
Clarity and Conformance X X X
Proposal Content X X X
Experience and Performance X X X
References X X X
Fee Proposal X X X
Following an evaluation, the Committee proposes awarding a contract to Cal-Stripe, Inc. for oncall services. Cal-Stripe, Inc. (Contractor) best demonstrated clarity and conformance and understood exactly the request of this RFP. Despite the pre-bid meeting being optional, the Contractor displayed their dedication by being the only contractor in attendance, underscoring their commitment to understanding the project's scope. The Contractor also demonstrated extensive experience to further solidify the recommendation.
Although pricing among companies were generally competitive, the Contractor offered many rates that are favorable when compared to the other companies. It's worth noting that effectively comparing costs presents challenges due to the contract's on-call nature rather than a low-bid structure, leading to fluctuations in line-item expenses. Notwithstanding, staff identified many line items as favorable, underscoring the contractor’s grasp of the service scope.
For instance, given the significant upcoming red curb repainting, the Contractor offered the most favorable costs for preparation and painting. In addition, the Contractor offers free mobilization for work exceeding $5,000, a condition highly favorable for the City, considering that most work falls within this bracket. In contrast, other contractors do not offer this, with mobilization costs ranging from $1,250 to $4,750 (depending on the scope of service). The cost proposal displays the Contractor’s comprehension of the project, likely demonstrated by their attendance at the pre-proposal meeting.
Lastly, the City conducted a thorough reference check on Contractor, receiving commendable feedback on their past performance, reliability, punctuality in project completion, delivery of highquality work, and overall client satisfaction.
Legal Review:
This report has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funds in the amount of $300,000 are included in the approved Capital Improvement Project (CIP) List for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 for the Citywide Street Striping and Lane Improvements Project. Funding for the Bike Lane Striping Project was included under Year 2 (FY 2024-25) of the CIP List; however, for economies of scale, the two projects were advertised as one project.
Only funds available in this fiscal year will be encumbered at this time, so no appropriation is necessary. Staff will budget accordingly for future years during the annual budget approval process.

Proposed Method of Work:
• Once a segment of work is issued by the City of Palm Desert, Adam will provide a budgetary price, based on unit pricing per the RFP. Included with the price will be a map highlighting the area and scope of work to be performed. This will enable the city to follow our progress, and this will provide an on-track price for said scopes of work. A preconstruction meeting will always be welcomed and encouraged to ensure the city is receiving the management it needs to complete the project or task at hand.
• A “Mobilization / Move-In” will only be applied to Work Order value of under $5000.00. • All units provided are considered to be restriping of existing stripe and or markings. The city must determine whether it will be thermoplastic or traffic paint materials. • The current 6” details, per 2018 Caltrans Standards will be implemented. • A baseline schedule will be provided to allow the city to properly track and inspect the work, as needed.
• All pricing provided is complete, in place, including equipment, materials, labor and taxes included. • When curb painting is required, Cal Stripe will clean prep and or scrape the existing loose flaking paint and dirt off the surface. Once it is cleaned, it will be repainted according to the city’s requirement.
• The green preformed thermoplastic Bike Lane Markings will be per City Std 205, following the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
• The green preformed Sharrow marking will be per City Std. 205H, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
• When the city requires removals, it will be required to determine the method. Either by grinding, or waterblasting. Since AQMD and Caltrans doesn’t allow dry sandblasting, this method will not be used, due to the silica sand content.
o If Grinding is preferred, Cal Stripe will use a Shibeci Polyplaner and a street sweeper, with water to contain the debris. Once debris is contained, it will be properly disposed of at a local waste facility.
o If the waterblasting method is preferred, Cal Stripe will use its Stripe Hog SH8000 Blaster Unit. The water must be disposed of in a washout pit or a clean sewer drain, and the solids will be disposed of at a local waste facility. o Neither method includes any hazardous testing and or disposal of any kind. o If the city cannot provide an area for dumping of solid grinding removal debris, the item for disposal will be applied.

City of Palm Desert
Shadow Ridge CFD Public Hearing
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On January 25, 2024, the City Council approved an amendment to Development Agreement 98- 1 (the “DA”), allowing the sale of 18+ acres to Toll Brothers for the development of a 93-home subdivision within the Marriott Shadow Ridge Golf Club. As part of this amendment, Toll Brothers is required to form a CFD over the property to offset certain public safety and service costs. Toll Brothers has received all entitlement approvals for this development and is in the process of recording their final map. The formation of the CFD over this property satisfies the conditions of the amended DA.
To facilitate this requirement, on December 10, 2024, Brookfield Holdings (Shadow) LLC, the owner of all of the property within the District, submitted a Petition and Waiver to request the formation of the District pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (Cal. Gov.
Code, § 53311 et seq.) (“Act”) in order to provide a method of financing specified public services to serve the District and to pay all costs associated with forming the District. In addition, all of the landowners within the District waived certain notice and election requirements in order to allow for expedited proceedings.
On January 9, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-001 (the “Resolution of Intention”) declaring the City Council’s intention to establish the District and to authorize the levy of a special tax in accordance with the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax attached as Exhibit B to the Resolution of Intention (the “Rate and Method”). The Resolution of Intention was the initial step for forming the District pursuant to the procedures prescribed by the Act, which include holding a public hearing and submitting the formation of the proposed District to the landowners at a special election to be conducted following the conclusion of the public hearing. The Resolution of Intention set February 13, 2025, as the date of public hearing. Notice of the public hearing was published in accordance with the Act. The Resolution of Intention also directed Staff to prepare and file a report on the proposed District that describes the Services and includes an estimate of the cost of providing the Services.
Subsequent to the adoption of Resolution No. 2025-001, and as required by the Act, the Boundary Map was recorded with the Riverside County Recorder’s office on January 28, 2025.
The purpose of the District is to mitigate the adverse fiscal impacts on municipal services associated with new development projects, including residential developments. Unlike Development Impact Fees which provide funding for initial infrastructure costs only, the District is intended to pay for ongoing municipal services to serve the District.
As permitted by the Act, the specified Services to be financed through the District are specified in Exhibit A to the Resolution of Intention, and include the following:
· Law enforcement services;
· Maintenance of parks, parkways and open space;
· Maintenance of streets and roadways;
· Flood and storm protection services; and
· Other eligible services permitted by the Act.
1144
City of Palm Desert
Shadow Ridge CFD Public Hearing
The Services will be financed through the annual levy of special taxes against the taxable properties in the District. As specified in Section C of the Rate and Method, the proposed initial maximum annual special tax for each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property in its Base Year shall be $2,200. Such maximum annual special tax shall be subject to an escalator of 2% per year.
The specific format that must be followed for the formation of the District includes the following steps. At the public hearing, the City Council will hear any testimony concerning the District.
Section 53325 of the Act provides that the City Council may modify the Resolution of Intention (Resolution No. 2025-001) by:
1. Eliminating proposed Services;
2. Changing the rate or method of apportionment so as to reduce the maximum special tax for all or a portion of the owners of property within the proposed District or by removing territory from the proposed District; or
3. Removing territory from the proposed district.
After the closing of the public hearing, the City Council may adopt Resolution 2025-__ (Attachment No. 1), approving the formation of the District and the levy of the special tax, subject to a special election, if written protests have not been filed by the owners of one-half or more of the area of land within the proposed District and not exempt from the special tax.
Following the formation of the District, the City Council may call a special election by the landowners within the District by adopting Resolution No. 2025-__ (Attachment No. 2). Each landowner has one vote for each acre, or portion thereof, owned by the landowner. The City Council may call such election for February 13, 2025. The City Council may levy the special tax if two-thirds of the votes cast at the special election are in favor of levying the special tax. The landowner’s ballot will be opened and the votes tallied by the City Clerk at the City Council meeting.
Following the vote, and assuming the election is successful, the City Council is requested to consider Resolution No. 2025- __ (Attachment No. 3), which is a resolution declaring the results of the Special Election in the District and directs the recording of a Notice of Special Tax Lien, and introduce Ordinance No.___ (Attachment No. 4), which is an ordinance establishing the levy of the special tax.
Should the City Council adopt the Resolutions described above and introduce the Ordinance, the City Council City Clerk will subsequently record the Notice of Special Tax Lien with the Riverside County Recorder’s Office. A second reading of the Ordinance will be scheduled for the February 27, 2025, regular City Council meeting date.
