CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: JULY 9, 2024 CONSENT CALENDAR
SUBJECT: APPROVE FUNDING IN THE AMOUNT OF $50,000 OF PUBLIC ART
FUNDS TO THE OLD LAS PALMAS NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION
FOR COMMISSION OF THE “PRINCE” SCULPTURE AND “BLUE BELLY CRAB” SCULPTURE BY ARTIST DELOS VAN EARL, BOTH TO BE
LOCATED IN THE WEST CHINO DRIVE MEDIAN IN THE OLD LAS
PALMAS NEIGHBORHOOD, AND APPROVE THE DONATION OF THE
SCULPTURES TO THE CITY
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Housing & Community Development Department
SUMMARY:
The Public Arts Commission is requesting the City Council approve funding in the amount of $50,000 as a Community Grant for the commission and installation of two pieces of art, Prince and Blue Belly Crab (Artworks), by Delos Van Earl (Artist). The proposed location for the Artwork is the West Chino Drive median, west of North Palm Canyon Drive and east of Belardo Road. The total cost to create and install the Artwork is $50,000 ($25,000 each).
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve expenditure of Public Art Funds in the amount of $50,000 for commission and installation of Prince and Blue Belly Crab by Delos Van Earl.
2. Accept donation of the public art pieces “Prince” and “Crab” from the Old Las Palmas Neighborhood Organization by Artist Delos Van Earl on the West Chino Drive median, west of North Palm Canyon Drive and east of Belardo Road.
BACKGROUND:
At their meeting on June 6, 2024, the City’s Public Arts Commission voted unanimously to recommend the City Council approve: 1) a proposal (Attachment A) from the Old Las Palmas Neighborhood Organization (OLPNO), as modified to also include commission and installation of the Blue Belly Crab sculpture in addition to the commission and installation of the Prince sculpture by Artist; 2) approve funding for this project in the Item 1N - Page 1
City Council Staff Report
July 9, 2024 -- Page 2

amount of $50,000 from the Public Arts Fund; and 3) to accept the donation of the completed Artworks.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
OLPNO submitted an unsolicited proposal to the Public Arts Commission to have the Artworks created and installed in the West Chino Drive median at the locations shown below in Image 1.

Sculpture Choices
OLPNO worked with more than 100 of their neighbors to select which sculpture should be installed next on the West China Drive median. A large majority of the residents selected Prince as their top pick, shown below in Image 3.

“Prince”
OLPNO had anticipated selecting the next sculpture (after installing Prince) to be installed during their November 2024 meeting. However, the Public Arts Commission was concerned with approving funding without knowing which of the other sculptures would be selected. The Commissioners requested that OLPNO agree to modify their proposal to allow the Public Arts Commission to select the next sculpture. The OLPNO agreed.
The Commissioners then selected Blue Belly Crab (shown in Image 4, below) to also be installed on the West Chino Drive median with Prince.

“Blue Belly Crab”
Each of the Artworks will be approximately 10’x 6’ x 4.5’ in size and weigh approximately 550 pounds. They will be made of steel and painted with sign painter’s enamel to give the pieces a long-lasting surface life. This can also be easily repainted when needed.
It should be noted the City Council previously approved a community grant of $5,000 to assist with the installation of the Red Dragon sculpture also located in the West Chino Drive median, but west of Belardo Road and east of North Cahuilla Road. OLPNO paid $20,000 to cover the total cost to create and fabricate the Red Dragon sculpture, and the $5,000 grant was used to pay for installation of the sculpture. Red Dragon was donated by the neighborhood to the City. Given that the planned disposition of the Artworks is to Item 1N - Page 5
City Council Staff Report
July 9, 2024 -- Page 6
Old Las Palmas Neighborhood Organization Public Art
donate them to the City (as was Red Dragon), OLPNO prefers not to use membership dues to pay for the Artworks and thus is requesting the use of Public Art Funds. If approved, OLPNO can engage the artist to begin working on the Artworks with the expected completion date being by the end of December 2024.
As proposed, the Artworks will be created by Delos Van Earl. The Artist moved to the Coachella Valley in 1987 and subsequently opened a studio in Yucca Valley where he creates large scale sculptures and paintings. He received his Bachelor of Arts at California State University, Chico before attending Mills College in Oakland for his Master’s in Fine Art. Locally, he is recognized by many for “Jungle Red” and “Orange Twist”, both located in Palm Springs. He has community pieces in almost 50 corporate and public collections.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
The recommended action is not a “project” for purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as that term is defined by CEQA guidelines (Guidelines) section 15378.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:
Section 2.24.050 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code requires the Public Arts Commission to, “Be responsible for a Palm Springs public arts program including policies and guidelines, oversight of development of art projects and maintenance of art collection.”
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this action will allocate $50,000 of Public Art Funds for the creation and installation of public art. Approval of this action would have no impact on the General Fund.

Introduction
In order to better understand our neighborhood and the project we are asking you to help us fund, it is important that we share information about the Old Las Palmas Neighborhood Organization.
History of the Old Las Palmas Neighborhood Organization (OLPNO) Old Las Palmas had a neighborhood group that had met for many years to discuss neighborhood issues. However, in 2005, the Palm Springs City Council formalized a process for officially recognizing neighborhood organizations throughout Palm Springs through a new City ordinance. The Old Las Palmas Neighborhood Organization (OLPNO) was one of the first neighborhoods to be recognized as an "official" neighborhood. There are now 52 recognized neighborhoods. Of the 257 single family homes in OLPNO, 166 are paid members of OLPNO.
This makes OLP NO one of the most inclusive neighborhoods in the city with participation of 65% of our homes as paid members. Each year OLPNO holds a Fall Meeting and a Spring Meeting. Both meetings are attended by more than 100 of our neighborhood residents.
OLPNO believes in community involvement and working to improve our neighborhood for our residents.
Beautification of our Neighborhood
From the very beginning OLPNO has spearheaded projects to beautify Old Las Palmas. One of our first projects was to landscape the medians in our neighborhood. The medians along West Chino Drive, Mountain View, and Via Las Palmas are now thriving with desert landscaping and drought tolerant plants. The OLPNO Board keeps a close eye on these medians and works with the City to maintain them beautifully.
Old Las Palmas Marker
Our next successful project created six Old Las Palmas
markers throughout our neighborhood. These markers
will stand the test of time and will outlive most of us! The markers are located on the West Chi.no Drive median, in the Mountain View median, in the Via Las Palmas median
(where there are two), in a small median at the corner of Merido Place and Prescott Drive, and the last one at the corner of Camino Sur and Camino del Corte. These
markers are now the property of the City of Palm Springs.
Item 1N - Page 11
Our neighborhood has continually completed small beautification projects, Like painting over the graffiti on the wall of the parking Lot behind Koffi North. Recently we ordered enough street "topper" signs to place on each and every one of our street signs in Old Las Palmas.
A Desire for Art in Our Neighborhood and Selecting an Artist In late 2022 the OLPNO Board decided that we would like to have some significant public art in Old Las Palmas. We discussed many artists and Locations and settled on contacting Delos Van Earl for his thoughts and ideas. Delos is a well-respected artist with a studio in Yucca Vally, California. He has multiple pieces on display in the Coachella Valley, including the famous Jungle Red Sculpture in the Warm Sands Neighborhood of Palm Springs and The Seeker on El Paseo in Palm Desert. Included with this packet are three articles on Delos' work in Art Patron Magazine, Palm Springs Life, and Xtra Magazine. Also included is a listing of his solo exhibitions, group exhibitions and reviews in publicationsofhiswork. Youmayviewmoreofhisworkatwww.ctelosvanearlstudios.com. Members of the OLPNO Board asked Delos to tour our neighborhood and make suggestions for artwork. We as a board thought the median on Via Las Palmas was the ideal location for our first art installation.
Delos was not sold on that location. We showed him the very long West Chino median, and he was immediately anxious to make suggestions to us about art along that median. We asked him to develop ideas, and he did. Selecting the Art
Prototype of Red Dragon
Engaging the Community
Delos floated the idea to us of creating "Creature Alley" along the West Chino Median. He suggested at least five sculptures to line the median to create a long, interesting art installation. We were intrigued. Delos thought our first installation should be the piece he titled "Red Dragon." Over the next few weeks Delos created a prototype of his proposed Red Dragon, along with pictures of four more
sculptures that he proposed to install along the West
Chino median. As a group we were immediately on board
with his ideas and design. We all loved the concept and the images of the art pieces! But the process from design to installation needed to be addressed.
We decided to dedicate our OLPNO Spring Meeting in April of 2023 to introducing our neighborhood to our idea for the art walk Creature Alley along the West Chino median. We asked Delos to deliver Item 1N - Page 12
the prototype of Red Dragon and to attend our Spring Meeting. We had over 100 of our neighbors in the backyard of one of our board member's home. The meeting was a complete success. The great majority of neighbors loved Red Dragon, and they especially enjoyed meeting Delos Van Earl, the artist and creator. We knew we had a winner. In addition to this meeting, we sent numerous emails to our membership describing the process and introducing the artist, Delos Van Earl. We were ready - except for the funding. The price of the first piece, Red Dragon, was $25,000. Fortunately, we had reserve funds left over from the Old Las Palmas Home Tour that we did in conjunction with Modernism Week a couple of years ago. We had almost $20,000 available. So how to proceed? Engaging the Public Arts Commission
We contacted the City of Palm Springs and the Chair of the Public Arts Commission to see how we should proceed. We worked with both Arts Commission Members Russell Pritchard and Gary Armstrong on the process. It was recommended that we plan to procure the artwork with the help of the Public Arts Commission, and after installation, we donate the artwork Red Dragon to the City of Palm Springs for its Public Arts Collection. As we at the time had $20,000 in funds from our Modernism Week Home Tour, we asked the Public Arts Commission for the needed $5,000. They were incredibly supportive and recommended that the City Council approve our request. City Council did approve our request, and Red Dragon was installed on November 7, 2023. A subsequent dedication ceremony was held with a significant amount of press coverage. The OLPNO Board of Directors is most thankful to the Public Arts Commission and to the City Council for their help in getting this incredible piece of public installed in our neighborhood on the West Chino median . .....

The Collection and
Request for Funding
The Collection
We have worked with Delos Van Earl to create four more sculptures that we envision placing along the West Chino median. We envision these sculptures to be toward the eastern end of the median to be more visible to the public as they drive along North Palm Canyon, and to be especially enticing to the customers of shops at The Corridor Palm Springs. Imagine having lunch at Chicken Ranch and noticing the array of sculptures along West Chino Drive. Delos has created four prototypes for us to expand our Creature Alley along the West Chino median. Those four prototypes are pictured below, with the names given to them by the artist, Delos Van Earl.

Decisions, Decisions
We as the board of the Old Las Palmas Neighborhood Organization were sold on the idea of four more creatures to be added to Creature Alley, and also sold on Delos Van Earl as our artist. However, we do not make decisions in a vacuum. We involved our neighborhood residents to make two decisions. 1) Did they like the current piece, Red Dragon, and do they want to continue with the creatures along West Chino median to for Creature Alley, and 2) if so, which of the creatures should be the next one for Creature Alley? This spring of 2024 gave us the perfect opportunity to engage our neighbors. We held a Cheers on Chino Block Party on March 9th. The Old Las Palmas Neighborhood Organization used the parking lot of Temple Isaiah to have our Cheers on Chino event, complete with carnival games, live music, food and drinks, and a large table where we displayed the four prototype sculptures with their names. Over 100 of our neighbors attended. We asked them for their opinion of the current Red Dragon sculpture, and the large majority of residents were very supportive. Then we asked which sculpture they preferred to be the next one installed. A large majority of residents selected Prince. Again, we knew we had a winner. Our board members liked Prince, and now we knew Prince was the favorite of our neighbors as well.
And the Winner is - PRINCE!
.
Item 1N - Page 16
Next Steps
Our goal is to complete the series of five sculptures. This was the original scope of the project and the vision of the artist, Delos Van Earl. Again, we envision five sculptures along West Chino median to create Creature Alley. We also decided to move the installation closer to North Palm Canyon as more residents and visitors will enjoy them in this location. Our current goal is to have two additional sculptures installed on the West Chino median between North Palm Canyon and Belardo Road thereby bringing the total to three sculptures (Red Dragon is the first). That median is 441 feet long.
We would like the second of the three sculptures (Prince) to be approximately 90 feet west of the Palm Canyon edge of the West Chino median. We would like the third of the three sculptures to be approximately 190 feet west of the Palm Canyon end of the West Chino median. These three locations will allow our residents and visitors to begin to understand the concept of Creature Alley.
We are indeed excited to move forward. Below is a very rough depiction of where these additional two sculptures will be located.
Prince will be the second sculpture, but which one will be third? We have decided to again appeal to our neighbors to help us make that decision. We have our fall meeting on November 7th, 2024. We again expect over 1 oo attendees. At that time, we hopefully will have the second sculpture in place.
We will ask our neighbors to help us decide on the third sculpture. We will literally have neighbors complete a form indicating their preference. We think this process is very important to maintain neighborhood support. We hope to install sculpture number three by the end of the year.
Item 1N - Page 17
Funding
Fortunately, the Old Las Palmas Neighborhood Organization negotiated a fixed price for the Creatures on Chino sculptures with artist Delos Van Earl last year. We have been assured a price of $25,000 for each sculpture to include creating the art piece, sales tax, transportation and installation. Compared to other large outdoor sculptures, this is a very fair price. The Old Las Palmas Neighborhood Organization is not in a position at this time to contribute to the two additional sculptures as we cannot use membership dues for this purpose. Therefore, we are asking the Public Arts Commission to seek approval from the Palm Springs City Council to spend $50,000 for the next two sculpture installations. The pieces, once installed, would be gifted to the City of Palm Springs to become part of its Public Arts Collection.
This project has the enthusiastic support of a large majority of the residents of Old Las Palmas. We believe the location and scope of this project will create significant community support from all the residents and businesses. We also think this contribution by the City of Palm Springs is an extremely good investment for the City and will have a lasting presence. In addition, we feel that tourists will want to photograph the Creatures on West Chino Drive and the collection will become an lnstagramable moment for most of our visitors and tourists.
We look forward to working with the Public Arts Commission and the Palm Springs City Council to help us make Creature Alley on West Chino Drive become a reality! Item 1N - Page 18

Delos Van Earl was born in 1951 in Port Angeles, Wash., the fifth of five children in a classic Northwest logging family. He moved to Crescent City, Calif., with his family at age 5. When he entered Shasta College in Redding, he thought he would become a high school art teacher and football coach. But he would earn a bachelor's degree at California State University Chico and a masters in fine art from Mills College in Oakland. He lives in Joshua Tree with his wife, Jena.
Driving through the heat of the desert near Joshua Tree National Park in California, you would be lucky to come across the studio of artist Delos Van Earl. Inside the warehouse-like building you will find piles of cool steel sheets, some sprinkled across the floor in preparation for welding or awaiting cutting. There are also paintings scattered throughout:
some are finished, some are still wet with the most recent application of enamel, and others have a powdery dusting on top - the smell of freshly sanded paint lingers in the air.
Everywhere you look, there are bright splashes of color and an aura of energy fills the studio.
While most artists who are as established as Delos have settled on a particular medium, Delos has managed to master both painting and sculpture. He captures a sense of balance and vigor in using either steel or enamel paint to form his creations Delos works on about a dozen paintings at a time, arranging them about his studio, focusing on one, then jumping to another. Seeds, shells, string, feathers, and twigs are embedded in the 20+ layers of oil enamel tediously applied in sessions as each layer dries and is then subsequently sanded down. When complete, the paintings are hard to resist touching. The surface appears as though the depth of the layered enamel can be felt, but the paintings are completely smooth.
In Van Earl's large paintings, grace comes at a tremendous physical cost: the process. He applies upto 20 layers of oil enamel paint on museum-quality wood panels-many of them as large as six-foot squares or paired in dynamic diptychs. Within each thick coat, he embeds little gems from nature - seeds, dried flowers, twigs, pine needles, grass, bird feathers, and other items. This transmutation of detritus into art - in addition to the tape, rope, and even foam he buries into the layers - gives way to the physical and aesthetic challenge of unearthing the final picture. This time-consuming (waiting for each coat to dry before applying the next) and exhausting (sanding through the layers) process ultimately gives each painting the appearance of a deeply textured surface. However, his finishing process - sanding, waxing, and buffing- makes for wonderful irony: The final pictures, chock full of the stuff of nature, are impossibly smooth to the touch and a gutsy departure from the rough, often chemically corroded edges of his earlier sculptures and geometric, painted steel wall paintings.

Talent and Resiliency
DELOS VAN EARL Embraces Change
written by Judy Nemer Sklar
i have been told that the buzzword for 2019 is "resiliency.'' That and longevity are the goals many artists seek in oursuit of a successful career, particularly since success in the field is often dependent upor world order, financial markets and the whims of collectors and agents. Only the most talented and resilient survive. Coachella Valley mixed media ariist and sculptor Delos Van Earl fits that bill. He has successfully traversed the economic downturn of 2008 and continues to explore and evolve creatively.

Van Earl was born in the state of Washington, grew up in Crescent City, California, and went on to earn his B.A. from Chico State University and his M.F.A. from Mills College in Oakland. But living in a logging family amidst the beautiful natural environment of the Northwest. with !ts or.ean waters, rivers and forests, was a key early influence on his sculptures, which employ bronze, steel and wood and which range from pedestalsized pieces to large outdoor works. His resume lists numerous solo and group exhibitions, and his work is in both corporate and public collections.
Comfortable In his own skin, he is happy to discuss both the business and creative sides of an artist's life.
Van Earl's move from Sacramento to Desert Hot Springs in 1987 turned out to be a pivotal event in his artistic development. His career took off after he received a prestigious purchase award from the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana and was invited to mount a solo show at the Riverside Museum. From fairs to galleries, from collectors to dealers, he was suddenly in demand. His steel sculptures, with their distinctive fractured corners, were selling out, and collectors were looking for more and more pieces. In fact, Van Earl's work was in such high demand that it caused his health to suffer. He knew change was in order-and soon change was going to be necessary for many artists.
The economic crisis of 2008 drove a number of artists to seek new directions in their careers as galleries and collectors stepped back. It seemed as tt everything had changed overnight, and while the crash set most on their heels, Van Earl, who considers himself a survivor, chose to pull into rather than out of the artist's life. He instinctively knew it was necessaiy to make both business and personal adjustments, so he proceeded to modify his business model and explore a new creative direction. While some have said that for Van Earl it's all about business, he strongly objects. •for me,• he says, "it's all about the work. My goal is to be as good as I can be, to create great art. i know I may fail, but for me it is about the journey.•

When I met Van Earl for an inteiview at Ms Yucca Vally studio and gallery in late 2018, I found a happy, bright and colorful space and couldn't help but notice the changes in the artist's creative direction. His new work consists of large freestanding and wall-mounted sculptures fn exciting colors and shapes. There are pieces large and small that he calls ·creatures• -lrogs, sea horses and rabbits-and colors in his palette-oranges, bright yellows and lime greens-that are starlcly different from the deeper reds he has been known for.
His new work takes Van Earl back to his childhood, back to the days he remembers fondly of Danish modern furniture, low sofas, the Seattle World's Fair of 1962, girls in polka dot dresses and go-go boots. and miniature golf courses and trampoline parks. Despite the changes in his creative direction, his guiding principle remains the same: an insistence on quality, craftsmanship and integrity, Van Earl is not afraid of change; in fact. he embraces it. •1 want to continue to do work that reflects my time and culture,• he insists. His commitment to his art and his life as an artist exemplify his resiliency and longevity. As a beginning artist, he was often singled out as the next great thing, "which is not always the bestthing to hear when you're young,• he points out, explaining that it's important to have to fight for success if you want to make a living in the field. "for me, it was the wolf at the door that made me work hard to become a successful artist" How does Van Earl see his future? ·1 hope to continue to work and be healthy. I wantthe eighty-year-o!d me to be doing new things. I want another run at it because things don't get better than that.• I hope you have the opportunity to meet Delos Van Earl at his studio in Yucca Valley.

In the Studio - Delos Van
Earl
HIDE AND SEEK
Story by Stc\'cn Biller
Palm Springs Live Magazine
Whether abstract or representational, art can be heroically expressive. It can stand up for something, be a champion. Delos Van Earl's energetic new paintings achieve this by harnessing the pure chance and ultimate triumph of nature.
The paintings in the Viscus series also punctuate a bright new direction for Van Earl, the Palm Springs artist whose distressed, painted bronze and steel works put his career on autopilot for longer than a decade. Those sculptures and wall pieces - each protruding a colorful angularity - bear the aged appearance of a long-past time.
The Viscus paintings, on the other hand, hold the promise of the future - nature's continuum and cycles of life - and signal a mature and emotional response to the angst-infused, shock-and-awe images that permeate our lives and some contemporary art.
uThese paintings are just the opposite/' Van Earl says. "Using nature as the reference point forces you to work at a higher level. Nature is more sophisticated than are humans. Everything's perfect: The veins in a leaf are organized chaos, but also where they need to be. There's a sense of grace."
In Van Earl's large paintings, grace comes at a tremendous physical cost: the process.
He applies up to 20 layers of oil enamel paint on museum-quality wood panels - many as large as 6-foot squares or paired in dynamic diptychs. Within each thick coat, he embeds seeds, dried flowers. twigs, pine needles, grass, bird feathers, and other items Item 1N - Page 38
from nature. This transmutation of detritus into art - in addition to tape, rope, and foam he buries into the layers - gives way to the physical and aesthetic challenge of unearthing the final picture. This time-consuming and exhausting process (waiting for one coat to dry before applying the next and sanding through the layers) ultimately gives each painting the appearance of a deeply textured surface. However, his finishing process - sanding, waxing, and buffing - makes for wonderful irony: The final pictures, chock full of the stuff of nature, are impossibly smooth to the touch and a gutsy departure from the rough, often chemically corroded edges of his earlier work. "This is an evolution," he says. "This work has a relation to the human condition.
Everything you do in life counts; that's what these paintings are about. Everything matters."
Everything matters, too, in these biomorphic paintings. Van Earl hides items in each painting, only to rediscover them from a different perspective. "It's like creating memories," he says. "They're sometimes hard to remember; but when we find them, we treasure them as they should be."
The transition to these paintings manifested during an emotionally wrenching period during which Van Earl doubled as caretaker and medical champion for his wife, Jena, who was suffering from a debilitating condition. "I don't know if I'd have been able to get here without Jena," Van Earl says, emphasizing how she continued to push him creatively through this challenging period. "Life has to push you to a level to see a deeper truth - a simplicity, a resentment of the superficial, an attempt to reach some level of purity."
We're born with only our environment and free will and choice, he says, but we process decisions, however impulsive, through various filters. "No single aspect of life is so essentially important. Life is fragmented with different variables." The artist's understanding of these variables leads him to resolutions that reflect calculated risks and sound choices. He leaves us with supercharged images - sometimes tranquil, sometimes violent-that seldom come easily.
Moreover, Van Earl's resolution of discord feels natural. In his first group of single-panel Viscus paintings, the monikers are meaningful to artist and viewer: Wag of a Labrador's Tail is genuinely playful; Fusion of Scarlet Rhythm has a flirtatious quality, a convergence of energy that could be a metaphor for sexual intercourse; and Echoes in the Mind has transfixing powers. As the series progressed, Van Earl often named paintings to refer to natural gestures, such as the chaotic perfection of a bird's nest, a spinning tornado, or hypnotic raindrops.
He has searched his soul and emerged with fresh vision. The result comes in the form of paintings that could be his most powerful yet.

Palm Springs famous Jungle Red sculpture
ByXl.ra...fditOI • July 18, 2013 5:17 pm EDT
One of Palm Springs' most familiar landmarks is Jungle Red. Credit: Scott Brassart It's big, it's long, and it's hard. If you're in the mood you can sit on it. It's also Palm Springs' most recognizable public sculpture.
Jungle Red - 14 feet high, 15 feet wide, 38 feet long - graces the entrance to Warm Sands, the most vibrant gay neighborhood in Palm Springs. The 2008 installation of the sculpture by Delos Van Earl marked the culmination of three years effort by the Warm Sands Neighborhood Association.
Item 1N - Page 40
"The site suffered from benign neglect for years," says Robert Stone, who spearheaded the campaign, in reference to the formerly ugly median strip at the entrance to the neighborhood. "We thought it would be good for everyone if the site were rehabilitated."
Van Earl admits that he usually avoids doing public art. "It doesn't suit my personality," he says. "It's a lot of paperwork and process, and I don't deal with that very well."
This project was special, though, because he wanted to give back to the Palm Springs community. "I've been fortunate,'' he says. "The gay community in particular has been very supportive of my work. So this sculpture is a wonderful way for me to give back, especially where it's situated, right there in Warm Sands." The work is from Van Earl's Luna series, a collection of large-scale sculptures based on the linear form. "I call them subterranean," he says. "A portion of the work is beneath the ground, and is imaginary."
Like all works in the series, Jungle Red appears to be a single, rhythmic line undulating over and around and through itself- a sculpted steel version of modern dance.
One of the great features of Jungle Red is that it is interactive; designed to be viewed from all angles, walked through, and touched.
"That's what I like best about this piece," Van Earl says. "You can stand next to it, you can sit on it. The back tail is actually designed so people can get up on it." Item 1N - Page 41

SUBJECT: APPROVE CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 WITH MATICH
CORPORATION, A CALIFORNIA CORPORATION, IN THE AMOUNT OF $347,380 FOR THE 2024 PAVEMENT REHABILITATION, CITY PROJECT NO. 24-01
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Engineering Services Department
SUMMARY:
Staff is requesting approval of Contract Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $347,380 for select pavement rehabilitation inside the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). The funding for this additional work will be appropriated from the Wastewater Fund Balance.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve Contract Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $347,380 to Agreement 24B050 with Matich Corporation for the 2024 Pavement Rehabilitation, City Project 24-01;
2. Appropriate $347,380 from the Wastewater Fund balance; and
3. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all necessary documents.
BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:
The Public Integrity Disclosure form from Matich Corporation is included as Attachment A.
BACKGROUND:
On February 29, 2024, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Matich Corporation (Matich) in the amount of $8,799,456 for the 2024 Pavement Rehabilitation Project. The initial scope of work included approximately 1.8 million square feet of pavement rehabilitation and associated utility/monument cover adjustments. In addition, any curb ramps adjacent to the streets selected for complete asphalt concrete (AC) Item 1O - Page 1
City Council Staff Report
July 9, 2024 -- Page 2
Approve CCO No. 1 CP 24-01 Pavement Rehabilitation
surface reconstruction will be brought up to current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
On May 15, 2024, Ken Huntzinger from Veolia, operators of the WWTP, reached out to Engineering Services to inquire about including select areas inside the perimeter of the WWTP for pavement rehabilitation. The areas noted in blue, shown in Figure 1 below, were inspected by Engineering Services and assessed to be in poor condition due to moderate to severe weathering, base failure, and heavy linear cracking. One of the parking lots currently consists of soil, which is a major cause of track out onto Vella Road.
As a result, Veolia is requesting a paved surface.
Figure 1 – Wastewater Treatment Plan, areas to pave
This change order will provide the needed pavement rehabilitation for Veolia to continue their day-to-day activities utilizing their large equipment/heavy work vehicles while minimizing track out onto Vella Road and on E. Mesquite Avenue. Staff reviewed the proposed change order and is recommending approval of Contract Change Order No. 1.
A copy of the change order is included as Attachment B.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines Section 15301 “Existing Facilities”, Class 1 projects consist of the operation, repair, maintenance, Item 1O - Page 2
City Council Staff Report
July 9, 2024 -- Page 3
Approve CCO No. 1 CP 24-01 Pavement Rehabilitation
permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. Therefore, Staff has determined that 2024 Pavement Rehabilitation, City Project No. 24-01, is considered categorically exempt from CEQA.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:
This item aligns with City Council Priority 2A, Improve City Facilities – Prioritize Deferred Maintenance.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is sufficient funding in the Wastewater Fund balance to cover the appropriation for this change order.

SUBJECT: ESTABLISH A CITY OF PALM SPRINGS RENTAL REGISTRY AND APPROVE SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE (SaaS) INITIAL AGREEMENT
WITH 3Di, INC.
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Department of Housing and Community Development
SUMMARY:
Approve the Software as a Service (SaaS) Subscription to 3Di, Inc. in order to establish the City of Palm Springs Rental Registry as mandated in the approved City of Palm Springs Housing Element.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve the Software As a Service (SaaS) Subscription Agreement 24S140 with 3Di, Inc. for the City of Palm Springs Rental Registry as mandated in the HCD approved Housing Element in an amount not to exceed $338,376 over a five-year period (Attachment A).
2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all necessary documents.
BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:
The Public Integrity Disclosure Form from 3Di, Inc. is included as Attachment B.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Palm Springs Housing Element (Housing Element) was approved by the California Department of Housing & Community Development (HCD) on January 19, 2024. In the Housing Element, Table 3-45 “Housing Program Summary”, HS1.4 “Accessory Dwellings” calls for the creation of a voluntary rental registry that allows owners to advertise ADUs and links prospective low-income residents to ADUs. HS1.5 proposes to use the rental registry to monitor production of ADUs and affordability.
Item 1P - Page 1
City Council Staff Report
July 9, 2024 -- Page 2
Rental Registry Service Agreement
Staff researched companies who are able to create such a registry with interfaces for the tenant, landlord and municipal staff and found 3Di, Inc. This is a California-based business that has delivered award-winning public-sector solutions to local governments for over 20 years. 3Di Engage for Housing (the user platform) delivers comprehensive, fully integrated solutions to issues in affordable housing, accessible housing, and tenant protections. Focusing on the latter, they can provide the tools to create an accurate rental unit inventory, assist staff in enforcing livability standards, ensure evictions are conducted for just/good reasons, and stabilize rent burdens.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
With the Housing Element calling for such a registry, the idea has expanded from a voluntary registry for ADUs into creating a rental registry to assist middle- and low-income residents to find affordable rentals within all housing types. In addition to creating a marketplace-like atmosphere assisting residents at multiple income levels, this registry assists staff in having a better understanding of the housing market and rental availability.
The current lack of available information on rental properties limits the City’s ability to provide appropriate oversight of the housing market and can create issues for deferred maintenance and tenant mistreatment that can severely affect the mental, physical, and financial well-being of renters.
Staff is diligently working on a Rent Registry Ordinance to establish an annual reporting requirement to submit data into a City database regarding rents and other relevant information about rental units during the annual business license renewal process. The annual reporting requirement will apply to owners of residential rental property, with some exceptions. The data collected will be used to inform the City Council about the rental market, trends, and housing stock in Palm Springs. For at least the first year, the annual fee will be the business license fee multi-family rentals are already paying.
Landlords and property managers will be able to use the rent registry to find information to frequently asked questions like the Annual General Adjustment for rent increases, how to give proper notice of rent increases, how to terminate tenancy, and more. This registry can also give guidance to landlords regarding the City’s Rent Stabilization Ordinance and Rent Control Ordinance.
3Di Engage for Housing takes housing departments beyond the traditional request-based system for managing services. Many municipalities in the country, and specifically here in California, have used 3Di and their registration software for years to have a better inventory and a way to establish better relationships with landlords and property managers to address the housing needs of the residents. Other cities who have benefitted from the software and a rent registry include San Francisco, Los Angeles County, Berkeley, Burbank, Mountain View, and Santa Monica to name a few.
The software includes features such as:
• General Housing Features

3Di Inc. Service Level Terms
The Services shall be available 99.9%, measured monthly, excluding scheduled maintenance. If Customer requests maintenance during these hours, any uptime or downtime calculation will exclude periods affected by such maintenance.

Downtime shall begin to accrue as soon as Customer (with notice to Company) recognizes that downtime is taking place, and continues until the availability of the Services is restored. In order to receive downtime credit, Customer must notify Company in writing within 24 hours from the time of downtime, and failure to provide such notice will forfeit the right to receive downtime credit. Such credits may not be redeemed for cash. Company will only apply a credit to the month in which the incident occurred.

● Genie Hours
We developed the concept of Genie Hours based on our experience, which shows that each customer has unique needs concerning support, and it is difficult to predict the type of help or support a customer will require. Genie Hours is a pool of non-accumulating hours available to customers at the beginning of each month. The Genie Hours may be used to request any reasonable support, including new reports, adding or changing workflows, adding or changing service requests, training, and minor system enhancement that can be achieved within the allocated pool of Genie hours.

Second, the relentless demand for assistance that these end-users require siphons precious time and effort away from the essential work of managing housing programs.

Business Disclosure Supplementary Instructions
In an effort to ensure we capture the required business entity information in accordance with the attached instructions, we provide you these supplementary instructions to clearly identify the required information, and the format the information should be provided.
If you, as the applicant, are a business entity (i.e. a corporation or limited liability company), and it is also comprised of other business entities as its members or having a financial interest, all other such business entities must also be disclosed, including those entities other business entities, if any.
Ultimately, the City’s disclosure document (attached) requires a listing identifying all natural persons having any financial interest over 5% of the business entities (and any other business entities comprising your business entity).
As an example, Applicant is: Acme Brothers, Inc., a California corporation, whose officers are:
John Doe, Jill Doe, and Jay Doe, which is owned 50% by Acme Brothers, LLC, a California limited liability company, and John Doe (25% interest) and Jill Doe (25% interest). Acme Brothers, LLC, is managed by Acme Brothers 2, Inc., a California corporation, whose officers are: George Doe, Bill Doe, and Jane Doe, which is owned 100% by Acme Brothers 2, LLC, a California limited liability company, which is managed by George Doe, with George Doe and Jane Doe having 50% interest each.
The full business entity disclosure in this example would resemble the following:
1. Acme Brothers, Inc., a California corporation
a. Officers: John Doe, Jill Doe, and Jay Doe
b. Ownership:
i. 50% Acme Brothers, LLC, a California limited liability company ii. 25% John Doe
iii. 25% Jill Doe

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: JULY 9, 2024 CONSENT CALENDAR
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A COST-SHARE AGREEMENT AUTHORIZING FUNDS
TRANSFER TO THE DESERT WATER AGENCY (DWA) FOR THE
COOPERATIVE TURF CONVERSION REBATE PROGRAM
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Office of Sustainability
SUMMARY:
Approval of this item will authorize the City Manager to execute a Cost-Share Agreement with the Desert Water Agency (DWA) enabling the City to transfer funds previously approved by the City Council for turf conversion matching funds awarded to projects taking place in Palm Springs. The Cost-Share Agreement would also provide a basis for the transfer of future funding if approved by the City Council.
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Approve Cost-Share Agreement for a Cooperative Turf Conversion Matching Rebate Program between the City of Palm Springs and the Desert Water Agency (DWA).
2) Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents.
BACKGROUND:
The Desert Water Agency (DWA) operates a rebate program providing rebates at a fixed rate on a per-square foot basis to residential and commercial properties who agree to remove grass and replace it with low-water, drought-tolerant landscaping. DWA reviews and approves eligible projects based on water use guidelines and issues the rebate after the project has been completed and has passed final inspection from their team.
The City Council has thrice approved allocations of funding to provide a match to the rebate program operated by the DWA for projects taking place in Palm Springs in an effort to encourage more residential and commercial properties to adopt low-water landscapes.
On October 27, 2022, the Council approved an allocation of $250,000 to the program.
Due to the success of the first round of the matching rebate, an additional $300,000 was Item 1R - Page 1
City Council Staff Report
July 9, 2024 -- Page 2
Approval of a Cost-Share Agreement with DWA for Turf Conversion approved via the Consent Calendar on February 9, 2023. Finally, a total of $1,150,000 was approved as part of the FY24-25 two-year budget which was adopted in June 2023.
To provide a more streamlined experience for residential and commercial property owners, staff at the City of Palm Springs and DWA agreed that DWA would continue to operate the application and approval process and would issue the rebate and the match directly to property owners, necessitating a transfer of the matching funding to DWA so they could issue the rebate checks. The City Council approved this approach in the previous allocation approvals.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
DWA and the City require an agreement be established for the Cooperative Turf Conversion Rebate Program to facilitate the funds transfer. The proposed Cost-Share Agreement is modeled on those used by the Coachella Valley Water District and its member cities to support similar matching rebate programs.
Staff, along with legal counsel, have reviewed the proposed Agreement and support its approval by the City Council. A copy of the Agreement is included as Attachment A.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
Not applicable.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:
The Cooperative Turf Conversion Rebate Program aligns with the City Council’s sustainability priority.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No additional allocations are being requested as part of this agreement. Funds will be transferred to DWA upon execution of the agreement.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: OCTOBER 27, 2022 BUSINESS & LEGISLATIVE
SUBJECT: PROPOSED TURF CONVERSION MATCHING REBATE
FROM: Teresa Gallavan, Interim City Manager
BY: Office of Sustainability
SUMMARY:
The City of Palm Springs has received requests from residents to consider offering rebate funds that would match funds offered by Desert Water Agency (DWA) to incentivize turf conversion. The Sustainability Commission has recommended supporting the existing DWA program with additional matching funds to encourage more residents and homeowners’ associations (HOAs) to remove grass from their lawns.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an appropriation of $150,000 from the Sustainability Fund to provide a match to DWA’s rebate of $3/square foot, ensuring that a total of $6/square foot would be available to eligible projects, with the following limitations:
- Projects would receive no more than $5,000 in City rebate funding per project; - Projects using artificial turf would not receive the rebate funding; - $100,000 will be allocated for HOAs and $50,000 would be allocated for individual residences; and
- The program will continue to be administered by DWA.
BACKGROUND:
Turf conversion projects, which can include everything from reducing grass coverage in an outdoor area to a full conversion to xeriscaping or desertscaping, provide multiple environmental benefits. Chief among them is a reduction in short- and long-term water use, with lawns that are converted to xeriscapes reducing their total home water use by roughly 30% per year (with a reduction in water used for landscaping of over 70% per year). Turf conversions can also increase native vegetation and habitats for local wildlife.
From 2011 to 2016, the City of Palm Springs operated a turf conversion program that was referred to as a “lawn buyback program.” The City provided grants up front with a cap and cash match requirements.

Turf Conversion Rebate Match
In a report from 2016, the City estimated roughly 10 million gallons per year of savings across the 110 supported projects, 70 of which were single-family homes and 40 of which were HOAs. While roughly $150,000 per year was budgeted for the program, approximately $140,000 was awarded between FY11-12 and FY15-16.
DWA began offering their current turf replacement rebate program in 2016. Property owners of single-family residences, HOAs, and commercial properties are eligible for a $3 per square foot rebate on qualifying projects. The program’s guidelines are available on their website and cover the maximum allowable flow rate (.33 gallons per minute or less for any irrigation), types of plants and coverings allowed and required, and guidelines on receiving the rebate. This year, the program has 100 projects approved and active and another 40 in the approval pipeline. Since drought conditions are prevalent this year, DWA is seeing more applications. Based on data collected over the past few years of running the program, the average cost of turf conversions hovers around $7 per square foot, with estimates of around $6 per square foot for projects completed independently and roughly $8 per square foot for projects including a contractor. Most projects funded by DWA come from HOAs (roughly 70%) and are approximately 1500 square feet in size.
This year, the City of Rancho Mirage is offering matching rebates to encourage further turf conversions in their municipality. The City of Rancho Mirage offers $3 per square foot, or a 100% match to the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD)’s rebate, for residential customers and $1 per square foot for commercial and HOAs. The program has been immensely popular – the initial allocation of $500,000 to the program has been claimed.
Early application reviews indicate that HOAs have been taking advantage of this program.
Recently, the City of Palm Desert allocated $750,000 for a 100% match ($3 per square foot) for residential properties and $250,000 for a 100% match for commercial properties.
The City of Indian Wells allocated $500,000, split $300,000 for residential projects and $200,000 for HOAs, to a 100% match at the beginning of October.
Staff has received over 50 unique inquiries from residents this fiscal year inquiring about additional matching funding from the City for Palm Springs residents.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
City staff have identified $150,000 in funding that could be allocated from the current fiscal year budget and would anticipate making a budget request in future years.
In order to maintain consistency with DWA’s and other neighboring programs, and to maximize the likelihood of project completion, staff generally recommends offering rebates instead of project grants.
The Sustainability Commission, in its meeting on October 18, 2022, reviewed possible rebate matches of $1, $2, and $3 per square foot based on costs per project, projected water and financial savings per project, and the number of projects that could be supported. Given the amount of funding available compared to the number of possible Item

Turf Conversion Rebate Match
projects, the Commission prioritized a simple program that would provide the greatest level of incentive to encourage projects that would otherwise be unlikely to happen, such as those in HOAs with large lawns and limited financial reserves for such projects. For this initial year of the matching program, the Commission recommends prioritizing residential conversions, splitting the available funding with $100,000 going to residential HOA projects and $50,000 for single-family residential projects.
For consistency with other Sustainability efforts, the Commission recommends against supporting any projects featuring artificial turf, which is usually made from plastic. The Commission also recommended capping the funding available per project so that multiple projects could benefit. If all projects were to reach the cap of $5000 per project, 20 HOAs and 10 residences will benefit, though based on numbers reviewed with DWA, most small residential projects will not reach the $5000 rebate cap due to smaller sizes so more than 10 projects are likely to benefit. Based on baseline estimates for full xeriscape or desertscape conversions, we can estimate over 2 million gallons of water per year will be saved after these conversions are completed.
Since the program has been designed to mirror DWA’s as closely as possible, DWA has also agreed to administer the program by processing applications, monitoring, and issuing checks directly to project owners. Due to the small differences in eligibility recommended by the Commission, City and DWA staff recommend launching the expanded rebate on or around the beginning of December to give staff time to update applications and processing software (and to allow residents time to prepare their projects and applications).
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:
This program aligns with Council Priority #2A – Accelerate the Climate Action Plan with high-value projects and initiatives.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff are requesting an initial allocation of $150,000 from the Sustainability Fund for this fiscal year and would anticipate making a budget request for future years. Due to alignment and coordination with DWA for program implementation, no impact on City staffing is expected beyond incorporating outreach into existing plans.

BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:
Public Integrity Disclosure forms from Steve P. Rados, Inc. and MWH Constructors, Inc. are included as Attachments B and C, respectively.
BACKGROUND:
On May 12, 2022, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Steve P. Rados, Inc. in the amount of $15,905,500 for the WWTP Digester No. 2 Waste Gas Flare and Filtrate Pump Station Projects. The initial scope of work included replacing Digester No. 2, construction of new gas holder, replacement of digester gas flare, and replacement of Filtrate Pump Station and Filtrate Pump Station forcemain.
On July 21, 2022, construction of the project commenced. Since then, there have been five contract change orders approved for the following reasons:
1) Contract Change Order No. 1 ($19,325) – The Contractor submitted to Southern California Air Quality Management District (AQMD) an application for a permit to install the new waste gas flare, digester and gas holding tank. AQMD requested the permit to be submitted under the City’s General AQMD permit which resulted in increased permit fees.
2) Contract Change Order No. 2 ($9,654) – There were two palm trees in conflict with the proposed filtrate pump station of the Project. The Contractor relocated the two palm trees to address the conflict.
3) Contract Change Order No. 3 ($34,282) – During the asbestos survey of Digester No. 2, it was discovered that the tank was coated with Belzona. It was determined that asbestos abatement was required for removal of Belzona. 4) Contract Change Order No. 4 ($67,144) – It was discovered that several utility conflicts above and below ground conflicted with the duct bank and underground conduit plan.
5) Contract Change Order No. 5 ($248,288.76) – It was discovered that additional cable and conduits were needed for the gas holder, additional keyways for the digester tank foundation, and unforeseen utilities conflict.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
This change order will provide the requirements needed to meet AQMD Rule 431.1, Sulfur Content of Gaseous Fuels. Staff reviewed the proposed change order and coordinated with the design team to ensure the changes were required. Staff is recommending approval of Contract Change Order No. 6. A copy of the change order is included as Attachment D.
On June 11, 2024, MWH Constructors, Inc. submitted a formal proposal for the additional services at the WWTP Digester No 2 Waste Gas Flare & Filtrate Pump Station Projects for a total not-to-exceed amount of $323,100. A copy of the proposal is included as Attachment E. The increased cost is the result of requirements imposed by the South Item 1S - Page 2
City Council Staff Report
July 9, 2024 -- Page 3
Approve CCO No. 6 CP 20-25 and 21-07
Coast Air Quality Management District in the permit process for the gas flare.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines Section 15302 “Replacement or Reconstruction”, Class 2 projects consist of replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced. Therefore, Staff has determined that the City of Palm Springs Wastewater Treatment Plant Digester No. 2, Gas Flare and Filtrate Pump Station Improvement Project, City Projects No. 20-25 and 21-07, are considered categorically exempt from CEQA.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:
This item aligns with City Council Priority “Community Infrastructure”, specifically 2A, Improve City Facilities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is sufficient funding in the Wastewater Fund balance to cover the appropriation for this change order.

Regarding: Ferrous Chloride Injection System for New Biogas Flare Dear Mr. Crider,
As you are aware, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) issued a new air permit (Permit No. G73890 A/N633490) to go with the new biogas flare that the City is required to install. Part of that permit are several emission limits that the City has to meet in regards to flaring biogas. The permit states in part:
The operator shall monitor, at least on a weekly basis, total sulfur compounds calculated as hydrogen sulfide burned in gaseous fuels other than natural gas. All monitoring results shall be kept and maintained for at least two years and made available to South Coast AQMD personnel upon request. This facility shall not emit total sulfur compounds equal to or greater than 5 pounds per day, calculated as hydrogen sulfide from the combustion of gaseous fuels other than natural gas. If the 5 pounds per day total sulfur compounds calculated as hydrogen sulfide limit is reached or exceeded, then the operator shall conduct the following pursuant to Rule 431.1:
A. The operator shall not bum sewage digester gas containing sulfur compounds in excess of 40 ppmv calculated as hydrogen sulfide averaged daily;
B. The operator shall not bum other (non-natural gas) gases containing sulfur compounds in excess of 40 ppmv calculated as hydrogen sulfide with an averaging period of 4 hours; and C. The operator shall monitor the total sulfur compounds calculated as hydrogen sulfide burned in gaseous fuels pursuant to Rule 431.1 (d) and follow the recordkeeping and reporting requirements pursuant to Rule 431.1 (e).
There were two options (memo attached) provided by Stantec (design engineer) when this permit was finally issued late last year. Ferrous Chloride Injection was the least expensive, effective treatment for excessive hydrogen sulfide. Therefore, the City is required to install this system to meet current regulations and operate the new flare.
Sincerely,
Doug Loar

File: 184031634 Date: May 24, 2023
Reference: Palm Springs WWTP Gas Flare: Rule 431.1 Sulfur Reduction Options The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) issued a draft permit for the new digester waste gas flare. Amongst other restrictions, the draft permit now requires the Palm Springs Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) to remove sulfur, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 431.1, prior to burning waste gas. As defined in Rule 431.1 (c)(2), sulfur compounds shall be less than 40 ppm (as measured by hydrogen sulfide, H2S). Further, Rule 431.1 (g)(8) states that the gas flare is exempt from sulfur limitations, if it emits less than 5 lb-H2S/day. For additional information, the draft air permit and Rule 431.1 are attached to this memo.
Currently, the WWTP is producing an average digester gas air flow rate of approximately 40 cfm with an H2S concentration of 2100 ppm. At this flow rate, the H2S concentration will need to be reduced to 900 ppm, in order to remain below the exemption threshold of 5 lb-H2S/day. The flare is designed to handle a future peak flow of 300 cfm, which requires H2S concentrations to remain below 120 ppm to stay below 5 lb-H2S/day.
There are multiple ways to reduce digester gas sulfur concentrations, to comply with Rule 431.1, including dosing ferric chloride into the digesters or installing an adsorber vessel with media that is designed to remove sulfur from the gas stream. Both options include a life cycle analysis that accounts for 3% annual inflation (similar to historical values) and 1% growth projection (with associated increase in gas production and chemical/media demands). These options are described in further detail below:
OPTION No.1: FERRIC CHLORIDE DOSING
Option No.1 requires new chemical storage and dosing facilities to be installed. This includes installation of a fiberglass storage tank (with 30-days of storage) and two peristaltic hose pumps. The pumps would direct ferric chloride into the digesters at a rate of approximately 80 gallons per day, where the chemical will mix with digester contents (chemically reducing H2S concentrations from 2,100 ppm to <900ppm- and likely will achieve ~300 ppm).
Historically, ferric chloride cost $2.5/gallon, but there is a recent supply chain restriction (after a chemical processing facility caught fire and stopped producing ferric chloride) and is now currently selling at $4.75/gallon. As such, some facilities are temporarily using ferrous chloride powder (dumping bags into the gravity thickener outlet box), which is harder to control and often results in overdosing to ensure sulfur reduction compliance; ferrous chloride powder is expected to require 125 lb/d at $0.9/lb.
The capital and lifecycle costs associated with this option are summarized in Table 1.
The downside of using ferric chloride solution is that it is a hazardous material that requires special handling procedures and is corrosive to metal piping (it must be plumbed and stored using plastic materials). The advantage of this system is that is simple to operate, with dosing rates that can change based on plant optimization and historical knowledge (increasing or decreasing the amount of ferric dose based on the outlet H2S concentration).

Further, the OPCC is a “snapshot” in time and that the reliability of the OPCC will degrade over time. Accordingly, Stantec does not warrant or represent that construction bids or negotiated prices will not vary from the Client’s project budget or Stantec’s OPCC.

Reference: Palm Springs WWTP Gas Flare: Rule 431.1 Sulfur Reduction Options cb c:\users\bcohen\desktop\rule 431.1 memo_20230524.docx OPTION No.2: ADSORBER VESSELS
Option No.2 involves a scrubbing vessel that allows digester gas to pass through an adsorption media (such as SulfaTreat), where the sulfur is chemically bound to the media and the clean gas is released. The vessels are sized with the appropriate velocities and contact residence time to maximize efficiency. The proposed system includes two adsorption vessels (one duty and one standby) and additional vessels can be added in the future to extend the media life when gas production rates increase; the standby vessel can be put into service once during maintenance and media replacement of the duty vessel. The adsorption units create significant headloss (5-inches) and requires booster blowers to be used to increase the pressure prior to discharging into the flare.
With inlet H2S concentrations of 2100 ppm, the media in each vessel is anticipated to last 60-days. Media replacement costs are currently quoted at $8500 per vessel. The media life can be extended by reducing the inlet H2S concentration (e.g. if the inlet concentration is reduced to 1000 ppm, the media will last 120-days).
The adsorber will reduce the outlet H2S concentration to below 5 ppm, which exceeds the requirements of the Rule 431.1 and is clean enough to reuse the biogas in the boilers as an alternate fuel source (offsetting the need to use natural gas).
The capital and lifecycle costs associated with this option are summarized in Table 2.
The downside of using adsorber vessels is that there is no way to optimize the adsorption process (the outlet H2S concentration will always be substantially less than Rule 431.1 requirements) and therefore requires more frequent media replacement (estimated media life is only 60-days when the inlet concentration is 2,100 ppm). Another disadvantage is this system creates too much headloss to allow the gas to flow by gravity into the flare (or boilers) and therefore relies on the use of additional booster blowers. The advantages of this system are that it is excellent at reducing sulfur and the resulting treated biogas can be reused as an alternative fuel source for the boilers (reducing the reliance on natural gas). If the treated biogas is reused in the boilers, the City will reduce their annual spending on natural gas (values not included below, for conservatism).

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
Installation of a new chemical dosing facility is relatively cheap (estimated to cost $180,000), but the annual price of chemicals is higher than adsorption media replacement, at approximately $73,000 ($1.6M over 20- years). The amount of chemicals used to achieve adequate sulfur reduction rates, below the mandated Rule 431.1, can be adjusted daily based on local site conditions (historical data, jar testing, and operator experience).
Installation of the new adsorption media vessels is a higher initial cost investment (estimated to cost $810,000), but the annual media replacement is approximately $52,000 ($1,137,000 over 20-years). The media will reduce H2S concentrations to far below Rule 431.1 requirements, to less than 5-ppm, allowing the City to reuse the biogas in the boilers (and reducing the amount of natural gas required to run the boilers).
The total lifecycle costs (construction costs plus 20-year life cycle costs) for both options are similar ($1.79M for chemicals vs $1.95M for adsorbers), making either option viable. If the City elects to install the chemical dosing facilities and reduce the digester gas H2S concentrations to less than 1000 ppm, adsorption vessels can still be added to extend the media life and reduce the life cycle costs in half, but the current cost of chemicals is higher than the price of media. If the City ever processes food waste at the WWTP, adsorption vessels would be used as the first treatment process in an advanced biogas reuse facility.
