WHEREAS, pursuant to the requirements of the CEQA, the State Guidelines for Implementation of CEQA (State CEQA Guidelines), and the City of Palm Desert CEQA Implementation Requirements, the City of Palm Desert Development Services Department has determined that the Project will not have a significant impact on the environment under Section 15061(b)(3) General Rule of the CEQA Guidelines of the CEQA Guidelines; therefore, no further environmental review is necessary; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert, California, did on the 15th day of July 2025, hold a duly noticed public hearing to consider the request for approval of the above-noted Project request and adopted Planning Commission Resolution 2885 recommending the City Council approve said Project; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Palm Desert, California, did on the 28th day of August 2025, hold a duly noticed public hearing to consider the request by the Applicant for approval of the above-noted Project request; and 79 Ordinance No. 1435 Page 2
WHEREAS, at the said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be heard, the City Council did find the following facts and reasons, which are outlined in the staff report, exist to justify approval of said request:

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Palm Desert, California, as follows:

SECTION 1. Recitals. The City Council hereby finds that the foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein as substantive findings of this Resolution.

SECTION 2. General Plan Amendment. As required by Palm Desert Municipal Code “PDMC” Section 25.78.070, the City Council makes the following findings to approve a General Plan Amendment:

There is a substantial public benefit to be derived from such amendment and the proposed amendment furthers the goals of the General Plan.

The provided General Plan Amendment clarifies that single family residential units are allowed within the City Center/Downtown designation, which is consistent with the Palm Desert Municipal Code and with existing single family residential units constructed and used within the area. The removal of a minimum density allows additional opportunities for development of sites within the area to increase the amount of housing units. The General Plan Amendment does not introduce significant change but instead clarifies original intention and existing uses for the City Center/Downtown.

SECTION 3. CEQA Determination. The City Council finds that the Project is this is not a “project,” as defined in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it does not have a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and concerns general policy and procedures.

SECTION 4. General Plan Amendment. The City Council approves the General Plan Amendment presented, as depicted in Exhibit “A.”
SECTION 5. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this ordinance, and each section, subsection, sentence, clause and phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid.

SECTION 6. Posting and Publication. The City Clerk of the City of Palm Desert, California, is hereby directed to publish a summary of this Ordinance in the Desert Sun, a newspaper of general circulation, published and circulated in the City of Palm Desert, California, and shall be in full force and effective thirty (30) days after its adoption. 80 Ordinance No. 1435 Page 3

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

In 2020, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) issued a call for projects under Cycle 10 of the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), a federally funded program that provides competitive grant funding to local agencies for infrastructure improvements aimed at reducing the number and severity of traffic collisions.

In September 2020, staff submitted two HSIP applications: one for the Local Highway Safety Improvement Program 2025 Project and another for crosswalk improvements. In March 2021, the City of Palm Desert (City) was awarded $1,912,600 in HSIP funding, with no local match required, to complete both projects.

The Local Highway Safety Improvement Program 2025 Project will upgrade the City’s traffic signal system by installing retroreflective backplates on 1,663 traffic signal heads and replacing pedestrian signal heads with countdown modules at 35 intersections. These improvements are intended to enhance intersection visibility, reduce the risk of collisions, and improve pedestrian safety.

PERFORMANCE BOND
KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS:

THAT WHEREAS, the City of Palm Desert (hereinafter referred to as “City”) has awarded to Crosstown Electrical & Data, Inc., (hereinafter referred to as the “Contractor”) an agreement for Local Highway Safety Improvement Program 2025 (hereinafter referred to as the “Project”).

WHEREAS, the work to be performed by the Contractor is more particularly set forth in the Contract Documents for the Project dated July 15, 2025, (hereinafter referred to as “Contract Documents”), the terms and conditions of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference; and
WHEREAS, the Contractor is required by said Contract Documents to perform the terms thereof and to furnish a bond for the faithful performance of said Contract Documents.

NOW, THEREFORE, we, Crosstown Electrical & Data, Inc., the undersigned Contractor and _____________________________________________ as Surety, a corporation organized and duly authorized to transact business under the laws of the State of California, are held and firmly bound unto the City in the sum of Seven Hundred Nineteen Thousand Nine Hundred EightySeven Dollars and 00/100, ($719,987.00), said sum being not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the total amount of the Contract, for which amount well and truly to be made, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors and administrators, successors and assigns, jointly and severally, firmly by these presents.

THE CONDITION OF THIS OBLIGATION IS SUCH, that, if the Contractor, his or its heirs, executors, administrators, successors or assigns, shall in all things stand to and abide by, and well and truly keep and perform the covenants, conditions and agreements in the Contract Documents and any alteration thereof made as therein provided, on its part, to be kept and performed at the time and in the manner therein specified, and in all respects according to their intent and meaning; and shall faithfully fulfill all obligations including the one-year guarantee of all materials and workmanship; and shall indemnify and save harmless the City, its elected or appointed officers, and their respective agents, officials, employees, volunteers and representatives, as stipulated in said Contract Documents, then this obligation shall become null and void; otherwise it shall be and remain in full force and effect.

As a condition precedent to the satisfactory completion of the Contract Documents, unless otherwise provided for in the Contract Documents, the above obligation shall hold good for a period of one (1) year after the acceptance of the work by City, during which time if Contractor shall fail to make full, complete, and satisfactory repair and replacements and totally protect the City from loss or damage resulting from or caused by defective materials or faulty workmanship, Surety shall undertake and faithfully fulfill all such obligations. The obligations of Surety hereunder shall continue so long as any obligation of Contractor remains. Nothing herein shall limit the City’s rights or the Contractor or Surety’s obligations under the Contract, law, or equity, including, but not limited to, California Code of Civil Procedure section 337.15.

Whenever Contractor shall be, and is declared by the City to be, in default under the Contract Documents, the Surety shall remedy the default pursuant to the Contract Documents, or shall promptly, at the City’s option:
(1) Take over and complete the Project in accordance with all terms and conditions in the Contract Documents; or
111
Contract No. ___________
(2) Obtain a bid or bids for completing the Project in accordance with all terms and conditions in the Contract Documents and upon determination by Surety of the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, arrange for a Contract between such bidder, the Surety and the City, and make available as work progresses sufficient funds to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract price, including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term “balance of the contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification thereto, less any amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.
(3) Permit the City to complete the Project in any manner consistent with local, California and federal law and make available as work progresses sufficient funds to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract price, including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term “balance of the contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification thereto, less any amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.

Surety expressly agrees that the City may reject any contractor or subcontractor which may be proposed by Surety in fulfillment of its obligations in the event of default by the Contractor.

Surety shall not utilize Contractor in completing the Project nor shall Surety accept a bid from Contractor for completion of the Project if the City, when declaring the Contractor in default, notifies Surety of the City’s objection to Contractor’s further participation in the completion of the Project.

The Surety, for value received, hereby stipulates and agrees that no change, extension of time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Documents or to the Project to be performed thereunder shall in any way affect its obligations on this bond, and it does hereby waive notice of any such change, extension of time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Documents or to the Project, including but not limited to the provisions of sections 2819 and 2845 of the California Civil Code.

12. Prohibition of Undisclosed Coverage Limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.

13. Separation of Insureds.

PERFORMANCE BOND
KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS:

THAT WHEREAS, the City of Palm Desert (hereinafter referred to as “City”) has awarded to Granite Construction Company, (hereinafter referred to as the “Contractor”) an agreement for FS 102 Gerald Ford Drive Street Improvements Project (hereinafter referred to as the “Project”).

WHEREAS, the work to be performed by the Contractor is more particularly set forth in the Contract Documents for the Project dated April 16, 2025, (hereinafter referred to as “Contract Documents”), the terms and conditions of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference; and
WHEREAS, the Contractor is required by said Contract Documents to perform the terms thereof and to furnish a bond for the faithful performance of said Contract Documents.

NOW, THEREFORE, we, Granite Construction Company, the undersigned Contractor and _____________________________________________ as Surety, a corporation organized and duly authorized to transact business under the laws of the State of California, are held and firmly bound unto the City in the sum of Three Million, Two Hundred Three Thousand, Two Hundred Sixty-One Dollars and No Cents, ($3,203,261.00), said sum being not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the total amount of the Contract, for which amount well and truly to be made, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors and administrators, successors and assigns, jointly and severally, firmly by these presents.

THE CONDITION OF THIS OBLIGATION IS SUCH, that, if the Contractor, his or its heirs, executors, administrators, successors or assigns, shall in all things stand to and abide by, and well and truly keep and perform the covenants, conditions and agreements in the Contract Documents and any alteration thereof made as therein provided, on its part, to be kept and performed at the time and in the manner therein specified, and in all respects according to their intent and meaning; and shall faithfully fulfill all obligations including the one-year guarantee of all materials and workmanship; and shall indemnify and save harmless the City, its elected or appointed officers, and their respective agents, officials, employees, volunteers and representatives, as stipulated in said Contract Documents, then this obligation shall become null and void; otherwise it shall be and remain in full force and effect.

As a condition precedent to the satisfactory completion of the Contract Documents, unless otherwise provided for in the Contract Documents, the above obligation shall hold good for a period of one (1) year after the acceptance of the work by City, during which time if Contractor shall fail to make full, complete, and satisfactory repair and replacements and totally protect the City from loss or damage resulting from or caused by defective materials or faulty workmanship, Surety shall undertake and faithfully fulfill all such obligations. The obligations of Surety hereunder shall continue so long as any obligation of Contractor remains. Nothing herein shall limit the City’s rights or the Contractor or Surety’s obligations under the Contract, law, or equity, including, but not limited to, California Code of Civil Procedure section 337.15.

Whenever Contractor shall be, and is declared by the City to be, in default under the Contract Documents, the Surety shall remedy the default pursuant to the Contract Documents, or shall promptly, at the City’s option:
(1) Take over and complete the Project in accordance with all terms and conditions in the Contract Documents; or
161
Contract No. ___________
(2) Obtain a bid or bids for completing the Project in accordance with all terms and conditions in the Contract Documents and upon determination by Surety of the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, arrange for a Contract between such bidder, the Surety and the City, and make available as work progresses sufficient funds to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract price, including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term “balance of the contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification thereto, less any amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.
(3) Permit the City to complete the Project in any manner consistent with local, California and federal law and make available as work progresses sufficient funds to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract price, including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable. The term “balance of the contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification thereto, less any amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.

Surety expressly agrees that the City may reject any contractor or subcontractor which may be proposed by Surety in fulfillment of its obligations in the event of default by the Contractor.

Surety shall not utilize Contractor in completing the Project nor shall Surety accept a bid from Contractor for completion of the Project if the City, when declaring the Contractor in default, notifies Surety of the City’s objection to Contractor’s further participation in the completion of the Project.

The Surety, for value received, hereby stipulates and agrees that no change, extension of time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Documents or to the Project to be performed thereunder shall in any way affect its obligations on this bond, and it does hereby waive notice of any such change, extension of time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Documents or to the Project, including but not limited to the provisions of sections 2819 and 2845 of the California Civil Code.

MEETING DATE: September 11, 2025
PREPARED BY: Shelby Goodwin, Special Events Coordinator SUBJECT: INFORMATIONAL REPORT ON ROAD CLOSURES ASSOCIATED WITH

THE RUN TRAVIS RUN EVENT
RECOMMENDATION:

Receive and file an informational report on road closures associated with the Run Travis Run event scheduled for Sunday, October 5, 2025.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

The City of Palm Desert is working with event organizers representing Travis Barker, drummer of the band Blink-182, to host a community 5K run titled Run Travis Run on Sunday, October 5, 2025, at the Civic Center Park. The event coincides with the band’s scheduled performance at Acrisure Arena and Palm Desert is one of only four of the event’s 2025 nationwide host sites selected to participate. Others include Chicago, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles.

Serving as the start and finish location, the Civic Center Park will be the hub of event activities and participant gathering. The event will require temporary road closures along San Pablo Avenue and a portion of Magnesia Falls Drive during the morning hours. Road closures will begin at approximately 6:30 a.m. and will be cleared by 10:30 a.m. City staff will coordinate closely with event producers, law enforcement, and other supporting agencies to implement appropriate traffic management, including hard closures at key intersections and police presence at designated locations along the route. Additional security details are being arranged in conjunction with the event organizer and law enforcement. Advance notification will be provided to residents, businesses, and community partners within the affected area.

Proceeds from the Run Travis Run 2025 Tour will support CORE (Community Organized Relief Effort), a nonprofit humanitarian organization founded by Sean Penn and Ann Lee that provides critical assistance to underserved communities during and beyond times of crisis.

This one-time event is anticipated to bring meaningful community engagement, national visibility, and positive recognition for Palm Desert through its association with a internationally recognized artist and tour. This report is provided for informational purposes to notify the City Council and the public of the planned road closures associated with the event.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 11, 2025
PREPARED BY: Ivan Tenorio, Homeless and Supportive Services Manager SUBJECT: REALLOCATE $30,000 IN FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 COMMUNITY

DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Approve the reallocation of $30,000 in Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, originally designated for the Fair Housing Council of Riverside County, to the Palm Desert Housing Authority.

2. Authorize staff to notify the County of Riverside of the approved reallocation and submit any required documentation in the County’s CDBG records pursuant to the Joint Recipient Cooperation Agreement.

3. Authorize City Attorney to review and finalize any required agreements or amendments.

4. Authorize the City Manager to execute any documents necessary to complete the reallocation.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

In previous program years, the City has allocated a portion of its CDBG Public Services funding to the Fair Housing Council of Riverside County, Inc. (FHCRC), a HUD-approved nonprofit organization that works to protect housing rights and ensure compliance with fair housing laws. On January 9, 2025, the City Council approved the FY 2025-26 CDBG funding recommendations, of which $30,000 was included for FHCRC.

Effective July 1, 2025, the City began participating in the County of Riverside’s Urban County Program under a Joint Recipient Cooperation Agreement. While the City retains Metropolitan City entitlement status, certain administrative functions are now delegated to the County, and the City must follow the County’s Citizen Participation Plan for CDBG program administration.

County staff has confirmed that the FHCRC is funded regionally through the County’s CDBG allocation. As a result, a separate City allocation is no longer necessary, and the $30,000 previously allocated to FHCRC is available for reallocation to other eligible public service activities.

Staff recommend redirecting these funds to Palm Desert Housing Authority (PDHA) to support ready-to-implement public facility improvements that directly benefit low and moderate-income residents:

Agency Council Approved on 01/08/2025 Recommended Amount FHCRC $30,000 $0
PDHA $117,750 $147,750
179
City of Palm Desert
Reallocate Fair Housing CDBG Funds

Rationale for selecting PDHA
Staff reviewed the current FY 2025-26 CDBG projects and determined that reallocating the funds to the Palm Desert Housing Authority best supports the goals of the CDBG program. PDHA had requested more than its awarded amount, has a ready-to-implement playground project at the One Quail Place property, and serves income-qualified households. Redirecting funds to PDHA strengthens an existing local project without creating a new activity and provides a clear, direct benefit to residents.

Under the County of Riverside’s Citizen Participation Plan, a Substantial Amendment (SA) is required if any one of the following applies:
 A new activity not previously listed or described in the Annual Action Plan  A change in the purpose, scope, location, or beneficiaries of an existing activity  An increase in CDBG funding for public facilities or infrastructure projects exceeding $1,000,000 or more than 100 percent of the original allocation, whichever is greater The proposed reallocation does not introduce a new activity, materially alter the scope or beneficiaries of an existing project, or meet the funding thresholds for a Substantial Amendment.

Therefore, this qualifies as an administrative reallocation. Although HUD regulations would allow this type of change to be processed administratively, the County requires formal City Council approval under the Joint Recipient Cooperation Agreement in order to incorporate the reallocation into its amendment process with HUD. If a Substantial Amendment were required, staff would conduct a public hearing before the County initiates the formal amendment process in accordance with its Citizen Participation Plan and HUD regulations FINANCIAL IMPACT:

This item reallocates existing CDBG funds within the City’s FY 2025-26 Award and has been included in the approved FY 2025-26 Financial Plan. Costs for CDBG projects are eligible for 100% reimbursement from HUD; therefore, this action has no impact on the General Fund.
