AGREEMENT FOR TRIBAL CITY TRIBAL/CITY LAND COORDINATION ON CERTAIN PARCELS AGREEMENT #1324A R19450, 1-6-99
THIS AGREEMENT FOR TRIBAL CITY LAND USE REVIEW ON CERTAIN PARCELS (“Agreement”) is made this 15th day of December, 1998 by and between the AGUA CALIENTE BAND OF CAHUILLA INDIANS, acting through its Tribal. Council (the “Tribe”), and the CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, acting through its City Council, a municipal corporation (the City). This Agreement is made with reference to the following:
RECITALS:
A. WHEREAS, the Tribe is a federally recognized Indian tribe which exercises its sovereign authority over the lands of the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation according to a constitution approved by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, as well as applicable federal law, with portions of the City of Palm Springs located within the boundaries of federal Indian reservation; and
B. WHEREAS, the city of Palm Springs is a charter city, possessing lull powers with respect to municipal affairs to regulate the territory under its jurisdiction and in accordance with the California Constitution, its Charter and State law. The trust land of the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation are interspersed in a checkerboard pattern within that portion of the City located within the Reservation; and
C. WHEREAS, both the Tribe and the City wish to cooperate in promoting the orderly and expeditious use and development of all lands of the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation to their highest and best use consistent with principles of sound planning and the sovereignty of the tribe; and
D. WHEREAS, on July 26, 1977. the Tribe and the City entered into that certain Agreement No. 1324 (hereinafter the “Land Use Agreement”), adopted by city Council Resolution No. 12298. Pursuant to that Agreement, the parties agreed that applications for issuance of permits and development pertaining to any Trust lands would initially be processed through the City, with the City collecting its normal fees and charges. Any party aggrieved by an action of the City Council in any such planning and zoning matters was given the right to appeal any action of the City to the Tribal Council with the Tribal Council having the ability, following a noticed hearing, to affirm, reverse, or modify any decision of the City Council on any matter affecting Indian Trust Lands, with the decision of the Tribal Council being final, after consideration of the recommendation of the Indian Planning Commission, as well as applicable federal and tribal law; and
E. WHEREAS, the Land Use Agreement has been amended from lime to time, by Supplements 2, 3, and 4, and most recently by Supplement No. 5. which would exempt all land acquired by the Tribe from regulation by the City, including: Application of all laws, ordinances, and codes; application of all fees, including drainage, sewer, school, Uniform Transportation Mitigation fees, building and other fees. The taking of title to parcels into trust Z Attachment 4:1 Supp 0, Xxx 20xx
O – Page 696 of 1899
PALM SPRINGS CODE
by the United States for the tribe would exempt such property from regular City taxes such as property taxes, sales taxes, transient occupancy taxes, and others; and F. WHEREAS, the Tribe has generally supported development consistent with the City’s General Plan and other ordinances and regulations but has the authority to adopt its own land use plan and policies; and
G. WHEREAS, the Tribe has commenced a program, when economically feasible, to reacquire any Trust Land which has been sold in fee. To facilitate Indian development on such Land, the Tribe would like to have an expedited process for City review and comment on said projects. The Tribe is willing to consider such review and comment if given in a timely manner.
The City believes that the opportunity to provide review and comment, but not approval, of such projects would be valuable to assure that such projects are integrated with surrounding development and to assure that the City’s and the Tribe’s normal development standards are maintained insofar as possible. In addition, both parties believe that all development throughout the City on both Tribal and non-Tribal land should make a fairshare contribution in exaction, fees or other consideration to pay for the burdens imposed by the development on the City or for the benefits received by the development from the City.
IN CONSIDERATION OF THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Pre-Submittal.
Prior to the initiation of a Project on Tribal Land and initiation of the process detailed below, the Tribe, where feasible, will consult with the City to determine the scope and significance of the Project and its appropriate level of review. This consultation will normally, but not necessarily, be satisfied by a meeting between the Tribal Planning Department and City Department of Planning and Building.
2. Submission of Report.
When any new development or substantial expansion or renovation of a project is proposed on land located within the Reservation and has been acquired by the Tribe, at least ninety (90) days prior to Tribal approval of the project including preliminary or schematic design, the Tribe shall submit to the City a report on the Project (“Project Report”). As used herein, “Reservation” means those lands whose legal description is set forth in Exhibit A hereto. The Project Report shall include a description of the Project, the preliminary or schematic plans and drawings for the Project, environmental documents per NEPA, if any, or any equivalent Tribal document, an analysis of the compatibility of the proposed Project with the City’s and the Tribe’s development standards, an analysis of the fiscal impact of the Project and a statement identifying any manner in which the Project would be exempt from, or not conform to, any ordinance, rule, regulation, or standards of the City or of the Tribe. The Tribe shall provide any explanation of any of the foregoing, as they shall deem reasonable or necessary. The Indian Planning Commission, and other Tribal bodies, will develop this report in accordance with applicable federal and Tribal law.
The level of detail provided in the Project Report should be as follows: if a minor project, then similar to the level of detail normally required by the City for architectural review; if a major project, then similar to the level of detail which would be required by the City for Planned Development District permit. The determination of whether a project is major or minor shall require the agreement of Z Attachment 4:2 Supp 0, Xxx 20xx
O – Page 697 of 1899
ZONING
the chief staff planning official of each party but, in the event of a disagreement, the opinion of the Tribe’s planning official shall govern. It is the intent of the parties that this process be undertaken, not at the point at which the land is acquired by the Tribe, but when development is contemplated, and when the development is contemplated, and when the development can be described and its impacts forecast.
3. Administrative Review.
Upon receipt of a Project Report, the City Manager shall distribute the Project Report to appropriate departments, including Police, Fire, Finance, Public Works, Planning and Building and such other departments as the City Manager shall deem relevant, such as Parks and Recreation, Tourism, Economic Development, and so forth. It shall be the purpose of this administrative review to determine how well the Project conforms with the City’s existing rules and regulations; any health and safety, or welfare concerns; the adequacy of police and fire safety services, and other services of the city necessary for the Project; compatibility of the project with surrounding properties; and the fiscal impact of the Project. The purpose of the fiscal impact analysis shall be to determine whether the Project will pay the normal City fees, taxes charges, and assessments; to the extent that any of such revenues will not accrue to the city, what will be the resulting financial impact therefrom; what other direct and indirect financial impacts, negative or positive, will result and what the overall economic impact will be of the Project on the city. Within thirty (30) days of the City Manager’s receipt of the Report from the Tribe, the City shall prepare the “Administrative Analysis” of the foregoing information and shall submit the Administrative Analysis to the City Council for its review and approval.
4. City Council Conformity Report.
The City Council shall have thirty (30) days from the submission of the Administrative Analysis to prepare the City Council’s Conformity Report (“Conformity Report”). The Conformity Report shall be adopted by the City Council at a public meeting. At the same time that the City Manager submits the Administrative Report to the City Council, a copy of the same shall be submitted to the Tribe. The Tribe shall have ten (10) days to prepare its comments on the Administrative Analysis for submission to the City Council to be considered at the time the City Council determines the Conformity Report. The Conformity Report shall contain the same subject matter as the Administrative Analysis.
5. Joint Meeting.
Upon the City Council’s adoption of the Conformity Report, the Project Report shall be immediately submitted to the Tribal Council. Within thirty(30)days, the Tribal Council and the City Council shall schedule a Joint Meeting to discuss the Conformity Report and whether any measures should be taken to make the Project more conforming with the rules, regulations, and ordinances of both the City and the Tribe.
6. Final Tribal Action.
At the Joint Meeting, or following the Joint Meeting, the Tribal Council may take any action authorized by its Constitution, Bylaws, rules, and ordinances concerning the Project. The Tribal Council shall be free to disregard any or all comments in the Z Attachment 4:3 Supp 0, Xxx 20xx
O – Page 698 of 1899
PALM SPRINGS CODE
Conformity Report or otherwise made by the City Council and may approve or modify the Project in any way the Tribal Council deems appropriate. It is expressly understood by the parties hereto that the Tribal Council retains full and complete sovereignty to administer Tribal lands in accordance with the Constitution, Bylaws, and Ordinances of the Tribe and applicable federal law. This Agreement deals solely with the consultation process in which the City is being given the opportunity to review and comment on certain projects being undertaken by the Tribe, and the Tribal Council retains full and complete authority to make final decisions concerning the development of Tribal Land under its Constitution and applicable federal and Tribal law.
7. Waiver.
With the approval of both parties, any portion of the foregoing process may be waived if the Project is not deemed significant, if the Project is found to be conforming, or if due to the exigencies of time the normal process cannot be accommodated.
8. Amendments.
This Agreement maybe amended by mutual agreement by the parties, provided that neither party may terminate this Agreement, without prejudice to any legal position thereafter asserted, upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other party.
9. Approval.
This Agreement shall be approved by Resolutions of the Tribal Council and the City Council.
10. Lands Located Inside Reservation and Owned in Fee by Parties Other than the Tribe.
This Agreement will not affect, alter, increase, or decrease in any way the jurisdiction that either the City or the Tribe may have over the use or development of parcels of land located within the Reservation, which are owned in fee by parties other than the Tribe. The parties recognize that federal law already allocates such jurisdiction over such parcels.
11. Lands Located Outside Reservation.
The parties recognize that federal law provides to the City notice and an opportunity to express its views on the subject of the proposed taking of title into trust for the Tribe of parcels located outside the Reservation but within the city limits of the City in 25 CFR. § 151.11(d), as well as time in which to challenge such a proposed action before it occurs, in 25 C.R.F. § 151.12(b). Otherwise, this Agreement will not affect, alter, increase, or decrease in any way the jurisdiction that either the City or the Tribe may have over the use or development of such parcels of land. The parties recognize that federal law already allocates such jurisdiction over such parcels.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement by their respective authorized officers on the day and year first above written.

Inspire Sunrise Project Report October 6, 2025
1 I. INTRODUCTION
Inspire Sunrise (the “Project”) is a 62-unit, attached, upscale residential apartment development proposed to be constructed on approximately five acres of Tribal Trust land (the “Project Site”) of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians (the “Tribe”).
The Project Site is located within Section 14, Township 4 South, Range 4 East of the San Bernardino Base and Meridian, Palm Springs, California, on the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation at the southwest corner of Sunrise Way and Alejo Road. (See Exhibit A, Project Site Location Map).
As part of the project approval process and pursuant to the terms of the Agreement for Tribal/City Land Use Coordination on Certain Parcels (the “Land Use Coordination Agreement”) with the City of Palm Springs (the “City”) dated December 15, 1998, the Tribe has prepared this report on Inspire Sunrise (the “Project Report”) for the City’s administrative review. The following key Tribal and/or City actions establish the project approval process for Tribal lands:
1. On July 26, 1977, the Tribe and the City entered into Agreement No. 1324 (the “Land Use Agreement”) adopted by City Council Resolution No. 12298. Pursuant to the Land Use Agreement, the parties agreed that applications for issuance of permits and development pertaining to Indian Trust lands would initially be processed through the City, with the City collecting its normal fees and charges.
Any party aggrieved by an action of the City Council in any such planning and zoning matters was given the right to appeal any action of the City to the Tribal Council, with the Tribal Council having the ability, following a noticed hearing, to affirm, reverse, or modify any decision of the City Council on any matter affecting Indian Trust lands, with the decision of the Tribal Council being final, after considering the recommendation of the Indian Planning Commission, as well as applicable Federal and Tribal law.
2. On January 5 and July 27, 1995, the City and the Tribe amended the Land Use Agreement with Supplement Nos. 3 and 4, respectively, which exempted certain Tribal lands from the Land Use Agreement.
3. On December 15, 1998, the Tribe and City entered into the aforementioned Land Use Coordination Agreement, which provides for City review and comment on projects exempted from the Land Use Agreement, while retaining the Tribe’s final approval and authority over projects on Tribal land.
4. On February 3, 1999, the City and the Tribe amended the Land Use Agreement with Supplement No. 5, which exempted all Tribal lands from the Land Use Agreement subject to the Land Use Coordination Agreement process.
5. On October 17, 2018, the City and the Tribe entered into an Amended and Restated Land Use Contract (the “Contract”) that superseded all prior agreements regarding land use between the Tribe and the City, including the Land Use Agreement and all supplements and amendments. As with the prior Land Use
O – Page 704 of 1899
Inspire Sunrise Project Report October 6, 2025
2 Agreement, the Contract exempts all Tribal lands which are then subject to the Land Use Coordination Agreement process.
This Project Report serves as an expanded project description and goes “hand in hand” with other submittal documents including technical reports and other pertinent information. The proposed Project will be developed to the standards of development identified in this Project Report.
II. EXISTING CONDITIONS
Project Site
As shown on Exhibit B, Existing Site Conditions Map, the Project Site is vacant undeveloped land covered with scattered creosote brush. There is no curb, gutter, or public sidewalk installed along the northern edge of the Project Site, and the eastern edge only has curb and gutter with a partial sidewalk extending approximately 100’ south from the intersection of Alejo and Sunrise to an existing Sunline Transit Stop. (See Exhibit C, Project Site Photos). Utility connections for water, sewer, natural gas, electricity, and telecommunication services are available, and the public streets fronting the Project Site include Sunrise Way to the east and Alejo Road to the north.
Surrounding Land Uses
Land uses on adjacent properties include:
• North – Single-Family Homes across Alejo Road
• West – United Methodist Church of Palm Springs
• South – United States Post Office
• East – Americana Gardens Condos across Sunrise Way
III. STATEMENT OF PROJECT

O – Page 705 of 1899
Inspire Sunrise Project Report October 6, 2025
3 The Site Plan for the Project is included as Exhibit D, and the Architectural Elevations, Building Renderings, and unit Floor Plans, are provided as Exhibits E, F, and G, respectively. The Preliminary Landscape Plan, for the Project is included as Exhibit H.
The Project will be gated with the apartments fronting internal 24-foot-wide private roadways. Two entrances/exits provide access to the Project: a main driveway off Alejo Road with enhanced paving and a secondary emergency access point at the southeast corner off Sunrise Way. In addition to the one- and two-car garages provided for the apartments, twenty-seven guest parking spaces are positioned throughout the development. A landscape parkway with six-foot privacy walls is provided along the Project street frontages, and a decorative six-foot wall will be installed along the southern and western property boundaries.
Upon completion of construction, the Developer will contract with a professional management company that will be responsible for operating and maintaining the development.
A. Property Development Standards
Pursuant to the Land Use Coordination Agreement, the Project Report shall include “an analysis of the compatibility of the proposed Project with the City's and the Tribe's development standards and a statement identifying any manner in which the Project would be exempt from, or not conform to, any ordinance, rule, regulation, or standards of the City or of the Tribe.”
While the Project is located within the Section 14 Specific Plan (the “Specific Plan”) area, it is located on Tribal lands that are not subject to City land use regulations. As a result, the Specific Plan serves as a guiding framework, but does not bind the Tribe in its decision to approve the Project. Under the Specific Plan, the Project Site is designated Medium Density Residential (MR) where multi-family residences are permitted subject to the development standards of the “R-2” limited multiple-family residential zone; however, if this Project were subject to City standards/regulations, the following development standards would need to be modified through the approval of a Planned Development District:
• Minimum open space; and
• Maximum lot coverage.
With or without the approval of a Planned Development District, the Project supports the Specific Plan’s residential vision by contributing to the “healthy variety of residential use types” in Section 14, and by offering a product that “will attract permanent residents, including seniors, who will be served by the expanded services provided in the area.” The Project Site is also directly “connected by an enhanced walkway/bikeway network that leads to the streets with commercial activity.” Table 1 on the following page compares the proposed development standards for the Project against the allowed/required standards of the MR/R-2 Zone with the above-identified Planned Development District modifications.

As Table 1 illustrates, with the proposed revisions to minimum open space and maximum lot coverage requirements, the Project complies with all MR/R-2 development standards that would be established through the approval of a Planned Development District.
The minimal increase in lot coverage and open space reduction are necessary to achieve the highest and best use of Tribal land consistent with the purpose and intent of the Specific Plan and the creation of high quality, multi-family development in an urban setting.

Inspire Sunrise Project Report October 6, 2025
5 B. Circulation
A central gated entrance off Alejo Road provides access to the Project, with an additional secondary emergency access point located at the southeast corner off Sunrise Way. Internal circulation is provided by 24' wide private streets with 27 guest parking spaces (two ADA) positioned throughout the development. Eight-foot-wide public sidewalks adjacent to landscape parkways will provide pedestrian connectivity along Alejo Road and Sunrise Way, which streets will be fully built out along the Project frontage. Pedestrian gates are provided near the main entrance and at the southeast corner of the Project providing direct access to the adjacent public streets.
IV. ARCHITECTURAL AND LANDSCAPE CONCEPT
The Project will consist of 13 two-story buildings with modern architecture, comprised of either four or five apartments with varying layouts. Communal recreational amenities are provided at the northeast and southwest corners of the Project Site and include a pool and spa with restroom facilities and a BBQ area, and a dog park (see Exhibits E and H).
As shown on Exhibit H, Project landscaping includes a variety of low maintenance plant species that meet water efficiency requirements. The landscape parkways along Alejo Road and Sunrise Way include trees that provide shade for pedestrians.
In addition to the requirements of Chapter 5.12, Property Maintenance Standards, of the Agua Caliente Tribal Code, the Developer will be bound by the ground lease with the Tribe to maintain all common area landscaping, including the landscape parkways along Alejo Road and Sunrise Way.
V. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The Section 14 Specific Plan was comprehensively amended in 2016, and an Initial Study/Environmental Assessment (IS/EA) was prepared at that time to assess the shortterm, long-term, and cumulative environmental impacts that could result from future development under the amended Specific Plan. The 2016 IS/EA had been prepared to comply with Section 15063 of the State California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) regulations as mandated by 40 CFR 1500-1508 and implemented by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) NEPA Handbook (59 IAM 3-H). In addition, the 2016 IS/EA tiered from, and incorporated by reference, the 2002 Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) prepared for the original 2004 Section 14 Master Development Plan/Specific Plan.
Pursuant to the Tribal Environmental Policy Act (TEPA), codified as Chapter 5.04 of the Tribal Code, an environmental assessment shall be performed and prepared for every proposed major Tribal action; however, the term "major Tribal action" does not include such actions which are otherwise subject to environmental review under either federal or state law. Since the 2016 IS/EA prepared for Section 14 Specific Plan was
O – Page 708 of 1899
Inspire Sunrise Project Report October 6, 2025
6 intended to cover future development within the plan area, and it was prepared pursuant to CEQA and NEPA and adopted by the City and BIA, no further environmental review is required for this Project under TEPA.
The Project would also be considered categorically exempt from further CEQA review as it meets the criteria established in Section 15332 (Class 32 – “In-Fill Development Project”) of the CEQA Guidelines, as it’s generally “consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations.” Notwithstanding these TEPA and CEQA exemptions, the Project will be conditioned to comply with all applicable measures included in the 2016 IS/EA and 2002 EIR/EIS.
VI. TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 39368
A tentative parcel map has been prepared for the proposed Project, for lease purposes, consisting of one numbered lot for the 62 apartments and private common areas, and three lettered lots for the public rights-of-way along the perimeter of the Project (see Exhibit I).

The Project will be conditioned to pay the standard development impact fees typically imposed by the City of Palm Springs, including, but not limited to, sewer and drainage fees, public art fees, park (Quimby Act) fees, regional traffic impact (in-lieu TUMF) fees, school fees, etc. In addition, a Community Facilities District (CFD) will be formed, or the Project will be annexed to an existing CFD, under which a special tax will be levied based on the number of residences in the Project. This special tax pays for new police, fire protection and suppression, and life safety services of the City required to sustain the service delivery capability for emergency and non-emergency services to new growth areas. Therefore, with the incorporation of these fees and taxes, the Project will have a negligible impact on public services, while having a beneficial impact to the local economy by providing more housing opportunities in the City.

Approval Of PS&E and Authorization To Bid Demuth Park Project, CP 21-16 The City of Palm Springs is proposing to make a series of site improvements to enhance Demuth Park for the community, improving its function and overall usability. The Project improvements include design of a permanent large dog park with ADA parking spaces, a small dog park, conversion of an existing 2.2-acre dirt lot into a 165-stall paved parking lot with drainage improvements, pavement of the Community Center parking lot, pavement and drainage repairs at the Little League parking lots, installation of ADA drinking fountains, and sidewalk and pathway restoration.
On August 16, 2022, the Parks & Recreation Department received notification that the City was awarded a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant (LWCF) in the amount of $1,750,734 to assist in the construction of the two Demuth dog parks and parking area components of the Project. Grant requirements state that the City of Palm Springs must match the grant amount. The City has also allocated funding from Measure J for a new 5-stall unisex restroom, sidewalk restoration to meet ADA requirements, and replacement of drinking fountains that conform to ADA requirements.
On July 5, 2023, Procurement and Contracting Staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Professional Design Services to solicit proposals from qualified engineering firms who specialize in these types of services. The requested RFP was written to ensure that the selected firm has demonstrated successful experience and capacity to provide civil design services to municipal government agencies similar to those required by the City.
On September 14, 2023, following a review of all proposals received and interviews with the top candidates, Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Kimley-Horn) was deemed qualified to complete the work and a Professional Services Agreement was awarded by City Council. Shortly thereafter, design work commenced, including numerous stakeholder meetings and community outreach meetings over the course of nearly two (2) years. All feedback was assessed for feasibility and incorporated in the final design, which was completed on October 28, 2025. The concept drawing for the large dog park is shown as Figure 1, parking lot improvements as Figure 2, and new restroom installation as Figure 3 on the following pages.

C. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Consultant and available or applicable to this Agreement are intended to apply to each insured, including additional insureds, against whom a claim is made, or suit is brought to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the City or its operations shall limit the application of such insurance coverage.
D. None of the insurance coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement which substantially impairs the coverages set forth herein (e.g., elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period), unless the endorsement has first been submitted to the City Manager and approved in writing.
E. Consultant agrees to require its insurer to modify insurance endorsements to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any party will "endeavor" (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the endorsements. Certificates of insurance will not be accepted in lieu of required endorsements, and submittal of certificates without required endorsements may delay commencement of
55575.18165'32900159.2
R – Page 1073 of 1899
the Project. It is Consultant's obligation to ensure timely compliance with all insurance submittal requirements as provided herein.
F. Consultant agrees to ensure that subconsultants, and any other parties involved with the Project who are brought onto or involved in the Project by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with subconsultants and others engaged in the Project will be submitted to the City for review.
G. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.
H. Consultant shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the tenn of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration.
Endorsements as required in this Agreement applicable to the renewing or new coverage shall be provided to City no later than ten (10) days prior to expiration of the lapsing coverage.
I. Requirements of specific insurance coverage features, or limits contained in this section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits, or other requirements nor as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-inclusive.
J. The requirements in this section supersede all other sections and provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this section.
K. Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Consultant arising out of the Work performed under this Agreement and for any other claim or loss which may reduce the insurance available to pay claims arising out of this Agreement. City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City, or to reduce or dilute insurance available for payment of potential claims.
L. Consultant agrees that the provisions of this section shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which the Consultant may be held responsible for the payment of damages resulting from the Consultant's activities or the activities ofany person or person for which the Consultant is otherwise responsible.
5.4 Sufficiency of Insurers. Insurance required herein shall be provided by authorized insurers in good standing with the State of California.

R – Page 1074 of 1899
5.5 Verification of Coverage. Consultant shall furnish City with both certificates ofinsurance and endorsements, including additional insured endorsements, affecting all of the coverages required by this Agreement. The certificates and endorsements are to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. All proof of insurance is to be received and approved by the City before work commences. City reserves the right to require Consultant's insurers to provide complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies at any time. Additional insured endorsements are not required for Errors and Omissions and Workers' Compensation policies.
Verification of Insurance coverage may be provided by: (1) an approved General and/or Auto Liability Endorsement Form for the City of Palm Springs or (2) an acceptable Certificate of Liability Insurance Coverage with an approved Additional Insured Endorsement with the following endorsements stated on the certificate:
A. "The City of Palm Springs, its officials, employees, and agents are named as an additional insured ... " ("as respects City of Palm Springs Contract No._ " or ''for any and all work performed with the City" may be included in this statement).
B. "This insurance is primary and non-contributory over any insurance or self-insurance the City may have ... " (" as respects City of Palm Springs Contract No._ " or ''for any and all work performed with the City" may be included in this statement).
C. "Should any of the above described policies be canceled before the expiration date thereof, the issuing company will mail 30 days written notice to the Certificate Holder named." Language such as, "endeavor to" mail and "but failure to mail such notice shall impose no obligation or liability of any kind upon the company, its agents or representative" is not acceptable and must be crossed out.
D. Both the Workers' Compensation and Employers' Liability policies shall contain the insurer's waiver of subrogation in favor of City, its elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers.
In addition to the endorsements listed above, the City of Palm Springs shall be named the certificate holder on the policies. All certificates of insurance and endorsements are to be received and approved by the City before work commences. All certificates of insurance must be authorized by a person with authority to bind coverage, whether that is the authorized agent/broker or insurance underwriter. Failure to obtain the required documents prior to the commencement of work shall not waive the Consultant's obligation to provide them.
6. INDEMNIFICATION
6.1 To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall defend (at Consultant's sole cost and expense), indemnify, protect, and hold harmless City, its elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers (collectively the "Indemnified Parties"), from and against any and all liabilities, actions, suits, claims, demands, losses, costs, judgments, arbitration awards, settlements, damages, demands, orders, penalties, and expenses including legal costs and attorney fees (collectively "Claims"), including but not limited to Claims arising from injuries to or death of persons (Consultant's employees included), for damage to property, including property owned by City, for any violation of any federal, state, or local

Under no circumstances shall the insurance requirements and limits set forth in this Agreement be construed to limit Consultant's indemnification obligation or other liability under this Agreement.
Consultant's indemnification obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement until all actions against the Indemnified Parties for such matters indemnified are fully and finally barred by the applicable statute of limitations or, if an action is timely filed, until such action is final.
6.2 If Consultant's obligation to defend, indemnify, and/or hold harmless arises out of Consultant's performance as a "design professional" (as that term is defined under Civil Code section 2782.8), then, and only to the extent required by Civil Code section 2782.8, which is fully incorporated herein, Consultant's indemnification obligation shall be limited to the extent which the Claims arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Consultant in the performance of the Services or this Agreement, and, upon Consultant obtaining a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction, Consultant's liability for such claim, including the cost to defend, shall not exceed the Consultant's proportionate percentage of fault.

Second Reading of Ordinance 2118
AYES: Councilmembers Garner, Bernstein, Ready, Mayor Pro Tem Soto, Mayor deHarte
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
The City Council voted to introduce Ordinance No. 2118, subject to certain revisions which were made at the time of first reading. Namely, the City Council voted to not increase the number of allowable rentals for those properties permitted after November 2022. The Council also voted to keep the “third quarter” distinction for pre-November 2022 permitted properties. Those revisions resulted in the following language:
“§ 5.25.070 Operational Requirements and Standard Conditions. ***
(b) For new permittees, on and after the effective date of this oOrdinance No. 2075, no more than 26 contracts for vacation rental use of a property shall be allowed or provided in any calendar year. For existing permittees, no more than 32 contracts for vacation rental use of a property shall be allowed or provided in any calendar year; however, up to four additional contracts shall be allowed or provided for the third quarter of a calendar year so long as the entire term of each such contract occurs during such third quarter, subject to reduction in such numbers on and after January 1, 2026. A contract includes any occupancy of a property subject to a vacation rental registration certificate by persons other than the owner when the owner is not present during such occupancy, regardless of whether compensation is paid for such occupancy or whether occupancy is evidenced in an agreement or document. For any property for which a Junior vacation rental registration certificate has been issued, no more than six contracts for vacation rental use of that property shall be allowed or provided in any calendar year.
(1) [Intentionally left blank].
(2) [Intentionally left blank].
(3) For Existing Permittees, the 32 + four contract limitation above shall be reduced to 26, on January 1, 2026. For new permittees, on and after the effective date of this ordinance, no more than 26 contracts for vacation rental use of a property shall be allowed or provided in any calendar year.
(4) Notwithstanding the restrictions imposed by this subparagraph, the owner at the time an application or renewal is submitted can designate and file with the enforcement official the names of up to five persons who may occupy the vacation rental unit at no cost and without requiring the presence of the owner on the premises of the vacation rental. Each such occupancy shall fully comply with all other provisions of this chapter, including, without limitation, the requirement to submit a contract summary prior to each applicable occupancy, as set forth in Section 5.25.070(h).

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS,
CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTIONS 5.25.070(b) OF THE
CITY’S VACATION RENTAL ORDINANCE, REGARDING
THE ANNUAL CAP ON THE NUMBER OF VACATION
RENTALS THAT CAN OCCUR ON RESIDENTIAL
PROPERTY WITHIN THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS
City Attorney’s Summary
This ordinance removes an upcoming reduction in the annual number of short term rentals of certain residential properties, which reduction would otherwise go into effect on January 1, 2026.
WHEREAS, on March 15, 2017, the City Council of the City of Palm Springs adopted Ordinance No. 1918, which comprehensively and strictly regulated the short term rentals of residential properties within the City; and
WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 1918 was primarily codified as Chapter 5.25 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code, with some provisions also being codified as Section
93.23.16 of the Palm Springs Municipal (Zoning) Code; and WHEREAS, among other regulations, Section 5.25.070(b) provided for a cap on the number of short term rentals that could lawfully be conducted per year, originally setting that number at thirty two (32) rentals in any calendar year, plus up to an additional four (4) rentals occurring entirely during the third quarter of a year; and WHEREAS, on November 28, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2075, amending Section 5.25.070(b), setting the annual cap at twenty six (26) for “New Permittees”, thirty six (36) (32 + 4) for “Existing Permittees”, and providing that said thirty six (36) cap for Existing Permittees would automatically go down to twenty six (26) on January 1, 2026.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 5.25.070, subdivision (b) of the Palm Springs Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows:
“§ 5.25.070 Operational Requirements and Standard Conditions. ***
(b) For new permittees, on and after the effective date of this oOrdinance No. 2075, no more than 26 contracts for vacation rental use of a property shall be allowed or provided in any calendar year. For existing permittees, no more than 32 contracts for vacation rental use of a property

shall be allowed or provided in any calendar year; however, up to four additional contracts shall be allowed or provided for the third quarter of a calendar year so long as the entire term of each such contract occurs during such third quarter, subject to reduction in such numbers on and after January 1, 2026. A contract includes any occupancy of a property subject to a vacation rental registration certificate by persons other than the owner when the owner is not present during such occupancy, regardless of whether compensation is paid for such occupancy or whether occupancy is evidenced in an agreement or document. For any property for which a Junior vacation rental registration certificate has been issued, no more than six contracts for vacation rental use of that property shall be allowed or provided in any calendar year.
(1) [Intentionally left blank].
(2) [Intentionally left blank].
(3) For Existing Permittees, the 32 + four contract limitation above shall be reduced to 26, on January 1, 2026. For new permittees, on and after the effective date of this ordinance, no more than 26 contracts for vacation rental use of a property shall be allowed or provided in any calendar year.
(4) Notwithstanding the restrictions imposed by this subparagraph, the owner at the time an application or renewal is submitted can designate and file with the enforcement official the names of up to five persons who may occupy the vacation rental unit at no cost and without requiring the presence of the owner on the premises of the vacation rental. Each such occupancy shall fully comply with all other provisions of this chapter, including, without limitation, the requirement to submit a contract summary prior to each applicable occupancy, as set forth in Section 5.25.070(h). *** ”
SECTION 2. This Ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) pursuant to Section 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the State Guidelines, because the Ordinance will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and is not a "project," as that term is defined in Section 15378 of the State Guidelines. In addition, the City Council also determines this Ordinance consists of regulations intended to ensure that the incidental short term rental use of residential property remains an ancillary and secondary use of residential property in the City and thereby preserve the residential character of the City's single- family and multi-family neighborhoods as identified in the City's adopted General Plan, and its concomitant Environmental Impact Report. Thus, to the extent there is any environmental impact from the adoption of this Ordinance, the City Council finds that the Environmental Impact Report for the adopted General Plan is the controlling environmental document.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: November 12, 2025 CONSENT CALENDAR
SUBJECT: APPROVE FUNDING IN THE AMOUNT OF $25,000 OF PUBLIC ART
FUNDS TO THE OLD LAS PALMAS NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION
FOR COMMISSION OF THE “YELLOW WARBLER” SCULPTURE AND
“DANCING RHINO” 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 $25,000 as a Community Grant for the commission and installation of two pieces of art, Yellow Warbler and Dancing Rhino (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, with $25,000 to be provided by the City and $25,000 to be provided by the Old Las Palmas Neighborhood Organization (OLPNO). The Artworks will also be donated to the City.
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Approve the expenditure of Public Art Funds in the amount of $25,000 for commission and installation of Yellow Warbler and Dancing Rhino by Delos Van Earl.
2) Accept donation of the public art pieces Yellow Warbler and Dancing Rhino 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:
On November 9, 2023, the City Council approved a community grant of $5,000 to assist with the installation of the Red Dragon sculpture located in the West Chino Drive median,
T – Page 1093 of 1899
City Council Staff Report
November 12, 2025 -- Page 2
Approving Funding for Public Artwork in Old Las Palmas
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 by Artist, and the $5,000 grant was used to pay for installation of the sculpture. Red Dragon was donated by the neighborhood to the City.
On July 9, 2024, the City Council approved funding in the amount of $50,000 as a Community Grant for the commission and installation of two additional pieces of art named Prince and Blue Belly Crab, also by the Artist for the West Chino Drive median.
The total cost to create and install the Prince and Blue Belly Crab was $50,000 ($25,000 each). Both were also donated to the City.
At their meeting on October 9, 2025, the City’s Public Arts Commission voted to recommend the City Council approve a proposal (Attachment A) from OLPNO requesting funding in the amount of $25,000 to pay half the costs of installing two additional art pieces named Yellow Warbler and Dancing Rhino. The total cost to create and install these pieces is $50,000. As proposed, $25,000 would be provided by the City and $25,000 would be provided by the OLPNO, and the Artworks would be donated to the City.
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.
Image 1: Proposed Locations
T – Page 1094 of 1899
City Council Staff Report
November 12, 2025 -- Page 3
Approving Funding for Public Artwork in Old Las Palmas
The proposal is to create and install the final two sculptures of the five-piece "Creature Alley" collection. Yellow Warbler is shown in Image 2 and Dancing Rhino is shown in Image 3 below. Creature Alley is the name of a public art installation located on the median of West Chino Drive in the Old Las Palmas neighborhood of Palm Springs. The installation was conceptualized as a series of five sculptures. Approving this final phase will bring a successful, multi-phase public art project to its intended completion.
The five sculptures in the Creature Alley collection are shown in Attachment A and include:
1. Red Dragon (Installed in Phase One)
2. Prince (Installed in Phase Two)
3. Blue Belly Crab (Installed in Phase Two)
4. Yellow Warbler (Proposed for Phase Three)
5. Dancing Rhino (Proposed for Phase Three)
The OLPNO is offering a direct $25,000 contribution to match the requested City funds.
This 1:1 match, generated from the neighborhood's own successful fundraising efforts during their 2025 Modernism Week Home Tour, demonstrates significant community buyin and financial commitment. This partnership allows the City to acquire $50,000 worth of public art for a public investment of $25,000, effectively doubling the impact of the funds.
The "Creature Alley" installation has already proven to be a popular and engaging landmark. The proposal notes that the reaction from residents to the existing sculptures has been "overwhelmingly positive." Furthermore, the installation serves as a destination for residents and visitors alike, with frequent reports of "visitors taking 'selfies' with these sculptures," which aligns with the city's goal of creating visible and interactive public art.
The OLPNO's substantial financial pledge confirms their commitment to seeing this full vision realized.

Each of the Artworks will be approximately 10’x 6’ x 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. The planned disposition of the Artworks is to donate them to the City (as was Red Dragon, Prince, and Blue Belly Crab). If approved, OLPNO can engage the artist to begin working on the Artworks with the expected completion date by the end of February 2026.
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 Art 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 $25,000 of Public Art Funds for the creation and installation of public art. Approval of this action would have no impact on the General Fund.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: November 12, 2025 CONSENT CALENDAR
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION ENTITLED, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF
PALM SPRINGS ADOPTING INVENTORY REPORT FOR EXCESS,
EXEMPT, AND NON-EXEMPT SURPLUS LAND PURSUANT TO
GOVERNMENT CODE § 54223.”
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Housing & Community Development Department
SUMMARY:
The Surplus Land Act (the “Act”), as amended, requires that on or before December 31 of each year, each county and city in the state must “make a central inventory of all surplus land ... and all lands in excess of its foreseeable needs … within the jurisdiction of the county or city that the county or city or any of its departments, agencies, or authorities owns or controls” (the “Inventory Report”) and submit the Inventory Report to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) by April 1 of action each year as part of the county or city’s annual Housing Element progress report.
This would have the City Council review and approve the Inventory Report.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution entitled, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS
ADOPTING INVENTORY REPORT FOR EXCESS, EXEMPT, AND NON-EXEMPT SURPLUS LAND PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE § 54223.”
BACKGROUND:
Government Code § 54230 mandates that California cities and counties prepare, by Dec. 31 of each year, an inventory of all “surplus land,” as that term is defined in the Act, and all “lands in excess of its foreseeable needs,” as that phrase is used in Government Code § 50569. HCD provides the practical difference between these two categories of land is essentially one of timing. “Surplus land” is land that is no longer necessary for an agency’s use and has been officially declared “surplus” by the local agency’s governing body. “Excess land” is land that is beyond an agency’s foreseeable needs but has not yet been declared surplus.

Surplus Land Resolution
In January 2024, SB 747 amending the Surplus Land Act went into effect. This amendment exempted properties from the Surplus Land Act if they were less than onehalf acre in area or if they were transferred to be used for affordable housing. The Gene Autry Trail and Mission Drive properties (Reference No. 1 on the attached resolution) will be used for an affordable housing project (Juniper Mission) and is identified as “Exempt Surplus”.
In addition, three single family parcels located at 233 West Tramview Road (APN 501- 401-010), El Dorado Boulevard (APN 501-401-039), and Rosa Parks Road (APN 669- 353-001) were all less than one-half acre and were to be transferred for use as affordable housing. As such, these three properties are identified as “Exempt Surplus.” STAFF ANALYSIS:
To be “necessary for [an] agency’s use,” land must be “used, … planned to be used pursuant to a written plan adopted by the local agency’s governing board for, or … disposed [of] to support … agency work or operations, including, but not limited to, utility sites, watershed property, land being used for conservation purposes, land for demonstration, exhibition, or educational purposes, related to greenhouse gas emissions, and buffer sites near sensitive governmental uses, including, but not limited to, wastewater treatment plants.” [Government Code § 54221(c)(1).] The Act requires that a local agency declare property as “surplus” before any action may be taken to dispose of the property. Parcels the local agency wishes to sell, that are not exempt from the Act, must be made publicly available for purchase, which includes distribution of the parcel(s) to a list of affordable housing developers prepared and updated regularly by HCD. The notification must also be posted on the City’s website and sent to HCD for notification on their website. The notification must stand for sixty (60) days, in which time staff shall take proposals from any interested entity, affordable housing or otherwise. However, the Act is prescriptive on which developer must be selected regarding affordable housing; and that is, priority must be given to an affordable housing project regardless of underlying land use. If multiple affordable housing projects are proposed, then staff must prioritize the project with the greatest and deepest affordability. Once a developer is selected, staff must negotiate in good faith for a minimum of ninety (90) days with the developer that proposed the greatest and deepest affordability. Two outcomes may result from this process:
1. If the City and developer come to terms within the proscribed timeline, then the regular development processes would begin; or
2. If after good-faith negotiations the City and the developer cannot come to terms, the surplus land being notified is no longer required to be listed for public notification under the Act and may be marketed or sold according to the standards of the authority or agency which owns the parcel(s) in question. This comes with a firm caveat: future proposals on surplus land that propose more than ten (10) units of housing are required to provide 25% of the proposed units as affordable.

Surplus Land Resolution
A local agency may be liable for a penalty of 30 percent of the final sale price of land sold in violation of the Act, and 50 percent for any subsequent violation. As the current law is written, the state may, via the Act, cancel disposition agreements and force local agencies to comply with the Act after December of 2022 and prior to selling to a developer who is not proposing affordable housing, whether a disposition agreement is in effect or not.
Additionally, the City Council may designate a property as available for continued City use through one of its non-profit partners. For example, City Council could adopt a plan to lease a property to only a non-profit that is providing a City service via a contract between the City and the non-profit and that service or the non-profit work in general (such as homeless services, childcare and/or dental or medical care) is supported by the City through partnerships and/or is the recipient of City grant funding. In such a case, the property is not surplus because it is still needed for City services; therefore, the Act does not apply. In such a situation, the City will still use the RFP process to lease the property.
The term “Agency’s use” does not include “commercial or industrial uses or activities, including nongovernmental retail, entertainment, or office development.” In addition, “property disposed of for the sole purpose of investment or generation of revenue shall not be considered necessary for the agency’s use.”
Nothing in the Act establishes what information must be included in the Inventory Report.
However, Government Code § 54230(a)(2) provides guidance. Under that section, “each county and each city” must report to HCD, “a description of each parcel described in [such county or city’s Inventory Report] and the present use of the parcel … [by] no later than April 1 of each year, beginning April 1, 2021, in a form prescribed by [HCD], as part of its annual progress report submitted pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 65400.” [Govt. C. § 54230(a)(2)(A).] While no such form has yet been issued by HCD, it will, at a minimum, contain blanks for the following information for each parcel of surplus land:
i. Street address or similar location information.
ii. Assessor’s parcel number.
iii. Existing use.
iv. Whether the site is surplus land or exempt surplus land. v. Size in acres.
As noted above, the Gene Autry Trail and Mission Drive properties and the three single family properties in the Desert Highland Gateway Estates Neighborhood previously listed as “Excess” are now exempt from the Surplus Land Act as these properties were either less than one-half acre and/or were to be transferred for use as affordable housing.
The proposed Inventory Report of this year’s surplus properties and excess properties are included in the attached resolution (Attachment A).

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
The actions contemplated by this report do not constitute a project within the meaning of Section 15378 of the State of California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines, because they have no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment, directly or indirectly. The actions do not authorize any specific development or installation on any specific piece of property within the City’s boundaries. Moreover, when and if a development application is submitted, the City will at that time conduct a preliminary review of the application in accordance with CEQA. Alternatively, even if the abovedescribed actions are a “project” within the meaning of State CEQA Guidelines section 15378, such actions would be exempt from CEQA review under the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15061(b)(3).) ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:
The Broad Goal in the Strategic Plan Framework that is addressed by this action is Housing.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with approving the Inventory Report.

REPORT FOR EXCESS, EXEMPT, AND NON-EXEMPT SURPLUS LAND PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE § 54223
WHEREAS, the City of Palm Springs is a , a public body, corporate and politic, and is a “local agency” within the meaning of the Surplus Land Act, Government Code sections 54220 et seq. (as amended, the “Act”); and
WHEREAS, the Act requires, among other things, that on or before December 31 each year, a local agency must make an inventory of all lands held, owned, or controlled by it or any of its departments, agencies or authorities to determine what land, including air rights, if any, is in excess of its foreseeable needs (the “Inventory List”), and that such Inventory List must be made a matter of public record and made available to any citizen, limited dividend corporation, housing corporation, or nonprofit corporation at no charge; and
WHEREAS, “surplus land” is defined in the Act as “land owned in fee simple by any local agency for which the local agency’s governing body takes formal action in a regular public meeting declaring that the land is surplus and is not necessary for the agency’s use”; and
WHEREAS, based on the definition of “surplus land” and the several categories of “exempt surplus land” that are set forth in Government Code section 54221(f), the City of Palm Springs has determined that it owns ten (10) parcels of land that should be included on the Inventory List; and
WHEREAS, the Act does not specify what information must be included in the Inventory List, but the City will include at least the following information: (1) the street address or similar location information; (2) the assessor’s parcel number; (3) the existing use; (4) whether the site is surplus land or exempt surplus land; and (5) the size of the site in acres; and
WHEREAS, the Inventory List, in compliance with Government Code section 54223, is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are a substantive part of this Resolution.
SECTION 2. Six (6) of the ten (10) parcels on the Inventory List (the “Surplus Properties”) are Excess properties and are not necessary for the City of Palm Springs’ use, are currently not being put to any use by the City of Palm Springs, and there is no

planned use by the City of Palm Springs of these Surplus Properties. Four (4) of the ten (10) properties are for affordable housing projects and are Exempt Surplus properties.
SECTION 3. Based on the true and correct written findings in this Resolution and incorporated herein by reference, the City of Palm Springs hereby authorizes the listing of the Surplus Properties on the Inventory List created by City of Palm Springs staff pursuant to and in compliance with Government Code section 54223.
SECTION 4. The declaration of the Surplus Properties as surplus and listing of such Surplus Properties on the Inventory List are actions that are exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15378, because they have no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment, directly or indirectly. If and when one of the Surplus Properties is sold to a purchaser, and that purchaser proposes a use for the Property that requires CEQA review, that future use and project will be analyzed at the appropriate time in accordance with CEQA. Alternatively, even if the abovedescribed actions are a “project” within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines section 15378, such actions would be exempt from CEQA review under the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15061(b)(3)).
SECTION 6. If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Resolution is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Resolution.

Art Maintenance Agreement Amendment
On November 6, 2025, the Public Arts Commission recommended approval to the City Council of Amendment No. 3 to increase annual compensation by $43,480 for Fiscal Year 2026, and $91,425 for Fiscal Year 2027, for a total increase of $134,905, not to exceed a total contract amount of $274,704.50.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
On September 12, 2022, the City of Palm Springs entered into Agreement No. A9206 with Same Day Express, dba Signature Sculpture ("Contractor"), for the cleaning and maintenance of public art within the City. The original three-year agreement had a contract price of $128,905.
The agreement has been amended twice previously:
Amendment No. 1 (March 13, 2023): This amendment added services for the repair of the "Chairman of the Links" art piece, in the amount of $895.00 bringing the total contract price to an amount not to exceed $128,905. Amendment No. 2 (February 3, 2025): This amendment expanded the scope of work to include seven art pieces at the Palm Springs International Airport, increased compensation by $9,999.50, bringing the total contract amount to $139,799.50 and extended the contract term to August 31, 2027.
The proposed Amendment No. 3 will further revise the scope of services to include the regular cleaning and maintenance of eighteen (18) additional art pieces located throughout the City, for a total of 40 art pieces to be cleaned twice a year. These new pieces to be added include the Pillars on East Tahquitz Canyon Way, Creature Alley, Artscape in the Park, and Beautiful Shade.
Services for the new pieces, as detailed in the attached Exhibit A2, will primarily consist of washing with non-ionic soap and deionized water and applying wax, performed twice annually. This amendment increases the contractor's compensation by $134,905. The total compensation for the agreement, as amended, will not exceed $274,704.50.
This amendment ensures that the City's growing collection of public art is properly and professionally maintained, preserving the condition and longevity of these valuable community assets.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
Section 21084 of the California Public Resources Code requires Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). The Guidelines are required to include a list of classes of projects which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and which are exempt from the provisions of CEQA.
V – Page 1156 of 1899
City Council Staff Report
November 12, 2025 -- Page 3
Art Maintenance Agreement Amendment
In response to that mandate, the Secretary for Resources identified classes of projects that do not have a significant effect on the environment and are declared to be categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents. In accordance with Section 15304 "Minor Alterations to Land," Class 4 projects consist of "minor public or private alterations in the condition of land, water, and/or vegetation which do not involve removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees except for forestry and agricultural purposes" and approval of this item is considered categorically exempt from CEQA.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:
Approval of this action is for maintenance of public art which supports Strategic Plan Framework Overarching Principle of Social Equity, Broad Goals of Economic Development, Infrastructure, and Community Services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action will increase the total compensation under Agreement No. A9206 by $43,480 in Fiscal Year 2026, and $91,425 in Fiscal Year 2027, for a total increase of $134,905 and a total contract not to exceed amount of $274,704.50. Fiscal Year 2026 funds for these services are in the Public Arts Fund budget. Work to be performed during Fiscal Year 2027 are included in the Fiscal Year 2027 Budget.

Contractor shall defend, indemnify, and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees, and agents free and harmless from any claims, liabilities, costs, penalties, or interest arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws. It shall be mandatory upon the Contractor and all subcontractors to comply DocuSign Envelope ID: 1045F196-70AB-44B9-B993-1700941333BC
V – Page 1174 of 1899
with all California Labor Code provisions, which include but are not limited to prevailing wages (Labor Code Sections 1771, 1774 and 1775), employment of apprentices (Labor Code Section 1777.5), certified payroll records (Labor Code Sections 1771.4 and 1776), hours of labor (Labor Code Sections 1813 and 1815) and debarment of contractors and subcontractors (Labor Code Section 1777.1).
B. If the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project and if the total compensation is $15,000 or more for maintenance or $25,000 or more for construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair, then pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, the Contractor and all subcontractors performing such Services must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations.
Contractor shall maintain registration for the duration of the Project and require the same of any subcontractors, as applicable. This Agreement may also be subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. It shall be Contractor’s sole responsibility to comply with all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements.
6. INSURANCE
Contractor shall procure and maintain, at its sole cost and expense, policies of insurance as set forth in the attached Exhibit "B", incorporated herein by reference.
7. INDEMNIFICATION.
7.1 Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall defend (at Contractor’s sole cost and expense), indemnify, protect, and hold harmless City, its elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers (collectively the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all liabilities, actions, suits, claims, demands, losses, costs, judgments, arbitration awards, settlements, damages, demands, orders, penalties, and expenses including legal costs and attorney fees (collectively “Claims”), including but not limited to Claims arising from injuries to or death of persons (Contractor’s employees included), for damage to property, including property owned by City, for any violation of any federal, state, or local law or ordinance or in any manner arising out of, pertaining to, or incident to any acts, errors or omissions, or willful misconduct committed by Contractor, its officers, employees, representatives, and agents, that arise out of or relate to Contractor’s performance of Services or this Agreement. This indemnification clause excludes Claims arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. Under no circumstances shall the insurance requirements and limits set forth in this Agreement be construed to limit Contractor’s indemnification obligation or other liability under this Agreement. Contractor’s indemnification obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement until all actions against the Indemnified Parties for such matters indemnified are fully and finally barred by the applicable statute of limitations or, if an action is timely filed, until such action is final.
7.2 Design Professional Services Indemnification and Reimbursement. If Contractor’s obligation to defend, indemnify, and/or hold harmless arises out of Contractor’s performance as a “design professional” (as that term is defined under Civil Code section 2782.8), then, and only to the extent required by Civil Code section 2782.8, which is fully incorporated herein, Contractor’s indemnification obligation shall be limited to the extent which the Claims arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor in the performance of the Services or this Agreement, and, upon Contractor obtaining a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction, Contractor’s liability for such claim, including the cost to defend, shall not exceed the Contractor’s proportionate percentage of fault.
