Property Information
The subject 2,200 square foot residence was designed for James "Jimmy" J. Hines and is situated on a 0.42-acre parcel on the west side of Morningsprings Road. The architect for the residence was William F. Cody. The midcentury modern post and beam residence was built in 1956 and has undergone some modifications/additions since it was built. Due to these modifications/additions the current request is based solely on the home's original owner, who lived there between 1956-1960. Hines was a nationally and locally famous golfer, who was also Thunderbird's golf pro. He was also responsible for the development of the Desert Air Hotel and Golf Club and became PresidenUCEO in Rancho Mirage between 1967-1972.

Detailed information on the property can be found in the attached Historic Preservation Commission staff report.

Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) Review
On August 3, 2022, the Historic Preservation Commission was presented the subject request, which included the homeowners detailed application packet and pictures of the home. The Commission unanimously agreed that the residence met the requirements for designation based on the homes connection to Jimmy Hines as both a celebrity and golfing professional.

No public comments were made or provided at the meeting, other than the home's owner mentioning their commitment to preserving the home.

After further discussing the homes original owner, the Historic Preservation Commission made the following motion:

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE - Executive Summary
The Hines Residence was designed for the professional golfing legend James "Jimmy" J. Hines by famed Desert Modernist architect William F. Cody and completed in 1956. Hines was a nationally and locally famous golfer, whose successes in the 1930s and 40s led to his being hired as Thunderbird's golf pro. He played a highly significant role in the creation of the greater Palm Springs area as the 'Winter Golf Capital of the World' in the 1950s as this document will explain . Jimmy Hines' contribution to the national sport and to the local community is therefore the key criterion for considering historic designation of this property.

The significance of the association with Hines was also cited by the authors of the 2003 City of Rancho Mirage Survey and cited in the 2003 DPR documents (see attached).

First building permits for the Hines Residence were issued in October 1955. It is a single-story Modern post and beam residence. The house appears in the 2003 City of Rancho Mirage list of historic resources. At the time of the survey, the house was considered to be in "original and good condition," however, the survey authors did not have access to early building permits or any other vintage or original drawings or images. Since the publication of the survey, two important elements have been uncovered and should be considered:

Original building permits, early photographs, and a rendering of the front of the house by Cody (which bizarrely places the house at Tama risk, assumed to be a simple clerical error by Cody's daughter, Catherine Cody) have come to light. These offer a perspective on the condition of the house, including an early 1960s addition, that had not been available to the architectural historians who conducted the 2003 survey.

The house has undergone some remodeling work since the publication of the 2003 survey.

The property's evolution from its origins to the present day is discussed and illustrated later in this document. While the house retains importance as an acknowledged work of desert modernist architect William F. Cody, evaluation of the architectural integrity is offered as a secondary consideration, rather than attempting to portray a sufficient degree of integrity to qualify for designation under this criterion.

Instead, this document focuses on the importance of Jimmy Hines as a nationally regarded sporting figure and also examines his importance to the local community. In the 2002 DPR report filed by architectural historians Moruzzi, Grimes, and Heumann, they also recognized Hines' contributions to the home's significance, citing:
'7he Hines Residence is significant historically for its association with Jimmy Hines ... " 3 6-32
The report goes on to say:
"Golf pro J. J. "Jimmy" Hines and his wife Irene were the original owners of the residence.

Hines was Thunderbird Country Club's first Head Golf Professional, who arrived in 1951 when Thunderbird was founded. "Having Jimmy Hines as Thunderbird's first Head Professional put Palm Springs on the map as a mecca for serious golfers," said Thunderbird historian Hugh Best. In addition, Hines and his assistant Eddie Susa/la ran the Pro Shop concession and pioneered the merchandising of golf wear including the alpaca cardigan that became a golfing trademark when Perry Como wore his Thunderbird cardigan on his nationally televised show.

The adaptation of the baseball cap as a golf cap was also a Hines/Susa/la first at Thunderbird." Jimmy Hines' contributions to the history of the game of golf in the USA are well documented in books on golf and technique, in magazines of the day, such as Sports Illustrated, and in the PGA records. His contribution to the runaway success of Thunderbird Country Club from its early days through to the hosting of Eisenhower in 1954 and the 1955 Ryder Cup - were critical in making the area the 'Winter Golf Capital of the World.' Hines was also responsible for the founding of Eldorado Country Club, cementing his contribution to the success of golf in the desert. In addition, his role in the popularization of the electric golf cart cannot be underestimated. Few people can claim to have influenced the world of desert golf more than Jimmy Hines did during the 1950s and 1960s.

It is in consideration of Hines' importance both locally and nationally that the property at 39905 Morningsprings Road in Rancho Mirage should be reviewed for historic site designation in Rancho Mirage.

ORIGINAL OWNER 1956-1960: JIMMY HINES

JIMMY HINES BIOGRAPHY
As a professional golfer in the 1930s-1940s, Jimmy Hines was the winner of several Open tournaments, the recipient of the National PGA medal, selected for the Ryder Cup team, and chairman of the national PGA Tournament Committee . He played the PGA Tour for 14 years, from 1933 - 1947 and continued to win Open Tournaments in the late 40s, including the Arizona Open in 1949. Selected by Johnny Dawson to be the first golf pro at Thunderbird Country Club in 1951, Hines' experience and initiatives, combined with his understanding of the growing attraction of the game of golf soon transformed the greater Palm Springs area into the 'Winter Golf Capital of the World.' Recognizing the value of celebrities to draw crowds, he initiated 'Pro-Member' tournaments that became the forerunner of 'Pro-Am' matches like the Desert Classic (later the Bob Hope Desert Classic). He was the instigator behind the creation of Eldorado Country Club, the historic Pauma Valley Country Club near Palomar, San Diego, the Friendly Hills Club in Whittier, and the Royal Lahaina and Kaanapali clubs in Hawaii. In the late 60s - early 70s, back in the desert he launched the Desert Air Country Club and designed the course for the Del Safari (now the Avondale) in Palm Desert.

His entrepreneurial expertise resulted in his name being attached to golf products, his vision fueled the popularity of the electric golf cart, and golfing merchandise, including golf caps and the infamous golf cardigan popularized by crooner Perry Como. His opinions on the game and techniques were regularly published by Sports Illustrated magazine as well as his column in the Desert Sun. Jimmy Hines influence on and contributions to the world of desert golf are immeasurable. He was rightly respected he for his success as a pro golfer, a club golf pro, a golf course architect, club developer, early promoter of the electric golf cart, and sartorial golf clothing influencer .

Early years
Born in Mineola, Long Island, NY in December 1903, Jimmy Hines became a professional golfer in 1933, and quickly rose to prominence in the mid 1930s. He was awarded the National PGA medal in his first year as a pro.

Hines was selected to play for the US Ryder Cup team in 1939, his appearance was thwarted by the onset of the Second World War. He continued to play in the early 1940s but by 1947 he left the PGA tour.

This postcard for Jimmy Hines - Ray Mangrum golf clubs dates to 1940.

After the war was over, Hines returned to the pro tour. He won the Tacoma Open in 1945 and the Arizona Open in 1949, but officially retired from the circuit in 1947, playing matches close to home. He chose to make his living by working fulltime as a golf pro and went to work at the prestigious and historic North Shore Country Club in Chicago, where he was still pro when Johnny Dawson lured him to the desert.

Feb 10th 1935 - Los Angeles Times mentions Johnny Dawson and Jimmy Hines both playing at the Palm Springs Invitational (at the O'Donnell course) Johnny Dawson's roots were in Chicago; he knew that Hines had become the club pro at the prestigious North Shore Country Club, and that Hines was keen to escape Chicago winters.

When Dawson asked Hines to spend the first winter season at Dawson's new club, Thunderbird Country Club, opening in 1951, it was an easy decision for Hines to accept the invitation to be the club's first pro. Hines was also able to carry on playing at other tournaments, that kept his name in the headlines and kept him current with the competitive game. A 1952 Desert Sun column mentioned that he was playing in the Los Angeles and Pebble Beach Opens and the Bing Crosby Pro-Am.

By 1952, Hines was well-established in his new role, writing the 'Desert Golf' column for the Desert Sun newspaper and organizing the Pro-Member Tournament for the club, bringing in old friends and associates like Byron Nelson, Lloyd Mangrum, Ben Hogan, but he was also still playing professionally. Pro-Am tournaments were popularized at Thunderbird as an obvious way to attract visitors, members, and media attention. Pro-Am tournaments encouraged serious golfers and celebrity players to join together and nowhere was better suited to these types of affairs than Thunderbird. With a host of celebrities on hand to play golf with some of the golf world's leading players, brought in by Hines, the concept took off in the 1950s and pro -am tournaments became part of the club's lifeblood. 10 6-39
The first 'Pro-Member' tournament in January 1954 (repeated in 1955 and successive years) was the precursor to the Desert Classic tournament, also organized by Hines and Dawson, which then became the Bob Hope Desert Classic. Hines' professional and personal friendships with fellow golfers from PGA tours also encouraged the appearance of top players such as Byron Nelson, Sam Snead, and Ben Hogan, while the local homeowner-celebrities at Thunderbird also drew the crowds.

January 1955, image from Ryder Cup brochure
Tournament organizing was a major part of Hines' role at Thunderbird Country Club, and it was under Hines' leadership that the Ryder Cup was secured for the club in 1955, an event that focused the world's attention on the club and the area of greater Palm Springs.

Jimmy Hines kept his job at Chicago's North Shore Country Club until he resigned in January 1955. By then he was knee-deep in the plans to bring the first Ryder Cup to Thunderbird Country Club later that year. Robert Hudson, Portland grocery man, funded the Ryder Cup in 1947, and as a member of Thunderbird, and a senior adviser to the PGA, he was in a position to bring the tournament to Thunderbird.

As the book: 'Palm Springs Golf: A History of Coachella Valley Legends & Fairways' (auth. Larry Bohannan) explains, it was Hudson's money, "along with the expertise of Johnny Dawson and Jimmy Hines (that) helped award Thunderbird the Ryder Cup in 1955. A stunning coup for the young club .... As the 1955 Ryder Cup approached, the matches were starting to regain some international interest, and the 1955 cup certainly captured the attention of the desert. .. The pro-am early in the week included some of Thunderbird's celebrity members, such as Bob Hope and Bing Crosby." "The 1955 Ryder Cup stamped the desert as a world -class golf destination, not just a local getaway for Hollywood stars." 12 6-41

1955 Ryder Cup brochure cover
Eldorado Country Club:
"The power and the purse strings of Robert Hudson and the knowledge of Dawson and Hines came into play again four years later." Hudson, who was by then a member at the next Dawson-Hines club, Eldorado Country Club, subsequently secured the Ryder Cup for Eldorado. (Source: Palm Springs Golf, by Larry Bohannan). (Some of the following text is taken from the Eldorado CC website). Eldorado Country Club was envisioned by longtime friends and business associates Johnny Dawson and Jimmy Hines in 1956. Mr. Dawson developed Thunderbird Country Club in 1951 as the first "true" country club development in the Southern California Desert. Mr. Dawson convinced an old friend, Mr.

Hines, to serve as Thunderbird's first Head Golf Professional. Five years later, Mr. Hines was credited with identifying the perfect location in the region to construct a country club and Mr. Dawson agreed. Nestled in a wind protected cove was a working farm. The Page Farm was once home to date palms, seedless grapes and grapefruit orchards. 14 6-43

President Eisenhower at Eldorado Country Club
Despite his name, Farmer Page was not a grower but a gambler who owned the Pioneer Club in Las Vegas. In a poker game, had won the deed to a 792-acre fruit -growing ranch in a sheltered cove in Indian Wells, which would become Eldorado Country Club. An option was 15 6-44
purchased, investors were secured, and Mr. Hines and Mr. Dawson left Thunderbird to begin construction in early 1957, becoming founding partners of the new club; The first round of golf was enjoyed on November 22, 1957, and Eldorado Country Club never looked back.

Many of Thunderbird's members also joined Eldorado, as they had Tamarisk, but the most significant member at Eldorado was President "Ike" Eisenhower, who had his desert home built at the club and spent most of his retirement there. Jimmy Hines became vice-president and part -owner of Eldorado Country Club at its opening in November 1957.

The electric golf cart
Much has been written about the role that Thunderbird Country Club played in the development of the electric golf cart. Although versions of an electric or powered (petrol) cart already existed, the electric cart certainly got a huge boost from golfers at Thunderbird Country Club. It was at the 1955 Ryder Cup at Thunderbird Country Club that electric golf carts took the world by storm, with 500 carts being driven by Thunderbird members. A 1959 article in Sports Illustrated magazine shed more light on the development of the golf cart.

Extracts are shown below. In the article, the earliest golf cart is thought to be the petrol­ powered converted ice-cream cart created by Thunderbird member D B McDaniels, whose own infirmities but passion for the game of golf led him to develop the noisy cart. The article goes on to quote Hines, whose role in bringing the cart to popularity is explained by both his involvement in Thunderbird and Eldorado. (See below).

Eddie Susa Ila, who was Hines' assistant at Thunderbird, has often been said to have 'invented' the cart, but in fact it was Hines and Susa Ila between them that brought the cart to popularity, the cart having been invented elsewhere. They both also realized that the carts not only gave the elderly, infirm, and rich - the opportunity to play as they wished - but that they also represented a source of income for the club. As previously mentioned, by 1955 at the Ryder Cup event, there were 500 carts in action on and around the course, being driven by members and friends. The wide acceptance of the golf cart in the desert and the international media coverage given to the Ryder Cup meant that - as Hines was quoted in Sports Illustrated, " ... the cart is here to stay." Once golfers started using carts at Thunderbird, Tamarisk, and Eldorado clubs, it became frowned on not to use golf carts because it slowed down other players' progress around the course.

When Jimmy Hines died in 1986, his obituary read 'professional golfer, golf course designer, and one of the developers of the electric golf cart.' It went on to say that as the director of golf at Thunderbird Country Club, he was 'instrumental in developing the electric golf cart.' 16 6-45

Later years
After Hines' success with the development of Eldorado Country Club, he sold his Thunderbird North house in 1961 and moved to Hawaii and, in partnership with Robert Trent Jones, designed and developed the famed Royal Lahaina Hotel and Golf Club at Kaanapali Beach on Maui. It opened in 1962 with a tee-shot from Bing Crosby and did for Hawaii golf resorts what Thunderbird and Eldorado had done for the desert. Royal Lahaina was one of the original properties that helped establish Kaanapali as a beachfront resort destination on Maui's west coast. Many of the original Hawaiian -style cottages are still part of the resort.

He returned to California in the mid 1960s, designing a course in southern California: Friendly Hills Country Club in Whittier. In a March 1965 Los Angeles Times article (see 'press cuttings') on the proliferation of housing developments around golf courses:
20 6-49
"Hines suggests a swing toward "finesse and strategy" in golf course design by 'reducing in scale the so-called 'championship' course and substituting for length cleverly designed fairways and greens for an infinite variety of shots ... The idea that finesse in the game is every bit as important as power has been neglected too long." Hines repeated this opinion in a Los Angeles Times May 1966 article about the Friendly Hills Country Club course he was designing at the time:
"If the caliber of a particular course puts it on dubious ground as to whether it qualifies for the use of champions, yardage is simply added to compensate for any deficiencies in character and it is then proudly pronounced 'championship' by virtue of its back-breaking length." The article author, Bill Shirley, one of the leading sports writers of his generation, and first vice-president of the national Golf Writers Association, continued:
"That is a trend that Hines would like to see reversed and he is doing his part in the design of Friendly Hills. Instead of unadorned length, he has substituted cleverly-designed fairways and greens that appeal to the eye and require some accuracy instead of sheer power. To which we would like to add: Hooray for Jimmy Hines."
Back in the desert, Hines was a founder/ developer of the short-lived Desert Air Hotel and Golf Club, that opened in 1969 with condos (designed by William F. Cody), an 18-hole course with lakes, and a grass landing strip, based around the original Desert Air Hotel. It claimed to have the first automatic sprinkler system of any golf course in the desert. By the mid 1970s, the property was sold off to developers and became the Omni Rancho Las Palmas we know today. In 1969 Hines designed the course for the Del Safari Country Club in Palm Desert, a championship 18-hole course; development of homes continued to expand into the 1980s and the club still exists, owned by members who changed its name in 1991 to the Avondale Golf Club and who proudly tout its design by and affiliation with Jimmy Hines:
"Born as Del Safari Golf Club in 1969, the Club's roots were established via the Midwestern sensibilities of the original owners. A classic, gorgeous, tree-lined course was combined with great service and an efficiently run club. The membership purchased the Club in 1991, and with it came the name change to Avondale. The quality of the club endured, along with its solid condition and membership traditions. Designed by golf legend Jimmy Hines, our Par 72 6, 728-yard championship golf course is always challenging but playable for golfers of all skill levels ." 21 6-50
. '
Avondale Golf Club, once the 'Del Safari' in Palm Desert, golf course designed by Hines.

Jimmy Hines remained in the desert for the rest of his life, becoming a highly respected member of the community. In 1984, two years before he died, he had lost his sight. Praised in the Desert Sun as 'one of the golf world's leading entrepreneurs and most dapper dressers ... (Hines) was honored by desert friends when a $24,000 check was presented to Guide Dogs of the Desert to use for training additional guide dogs. The money was raised in Hines' honor, the article explained.

JIMMY HINES RESIDENCE - 1956
Architect: William F. Cody
39905 Morningsprings Road
Thunderbird North
The Jimmy Hines Residence at Thunderbird North, as previously mentioned, is cited as being by William F. Cody and is the subject of a pre-existing DPR report, completed by architectural historians Moruzzi, Baumann, Grimes (see attached). This information was likely sourced from the pre-existing list of Cody projects, cited in Cody's own list of projects, published in 1960.

The residence was built for Jimmy Hines as his main residence, his permanent desert home.

By 1955 he had given up his job in Chicago to work in the desert full time. His wife and son both lived in the house with him, although his son soon went to college . . esidences

Page from William F. Cody's personal project list shows the 'James Hines' residence, 1956, Thunderbird North.

Historic building permits, a rendering by Cody, as well as early photographs relating to the Hines Residence have come to light since the publication of the DPR report completed in 2002 (see documents below) and the inclusion of the property in the City of Rancho Mirage 2003 Historic Resources Survey. Unfortunately detailed drawings have not been found.

A) Permit for a 'Dwelling and Carport' dated October 1955, on behalf of Press Construction Co., one of the area's best-known builders, for a build value of $18,048. (Note: Nonesuch Road was the previous name for what is now known as 'Morningsprings Road'). 23 6-52

B) Permit (see below) is for an addition to the home that dates to May 1961 and is for an addition on behalf of W. (Warren) H. Bean, then homeowner. It is not known who the architect was for the addition, but Bean seems to have decided he needed more space. The 'U-shape' ofthe house cited in the original DPR report is, therefore, incorrect. The 'U' referred to came about as a result of the 1961 addition. Vintage images show a simple, straight-line ranch home with carport extension . (Note: Catherine Cody visited the home in 2007 and expressed the opinion that the later addition could well have been designed by her father, as she thought it was in keeping and in the style of the earlier house.) 24 6-53

golfing trademark when Perry Como wore his Thunderbird cardigan on his nationally televised show. The adaptation of the baseball cap as a golf cap was a/so a Hines/Susa/la first at Thunderbird.

The architectural firms of Wexler & Harrison and William Cody designed many of the houses in the cluster between Early Times Road and Country Club Drive . The houses , ranging in size from 2300 to 3300 square feet, were constructed on half­ acre lots without individual swimming pools . Instead , rear yards open to the manicured lawns , trees, and shared rectangular swimming pool of the one acre central court . However , since construction many homes have added private pools . This is a property type apparently unique to Rancho Mirage in the Coachella Valley area . Privately owned single-family residences sharing grounds and a swimming pool is an unusual permutation of a multi-family residential complex. Examples include Tamarisk Fairway on 1011' (1969-1970 ) and Tamarisk Ranchos I and II (1958 and 1961) near the Tamarisk Country Club, and, near the Thunderbird Country Club, the Vista Del Rio tract (1958) and Thunderbird Palms (circa 1961).

William F. Cody FA/A (1916-1978) was born in Dayton , Ohio and raised in Los Angeles . While attending architecture school at the University of Southern California in the late 1930s and early 1940s, Cody was a/so working for architect Cliff May, gaining experience in the adaptation of ranch and hacienda style houses to modern floor plans and construction techniques.

Suffering from asthma , and belie ving that the Palm Springs area offered opportunity and prominent clients , Cody moved to Palm Springs in 1944-45 and set up practice . One of his first projects , the Del Marcos Hotel of 1946, won an AIA "creditable mention " award as an example of new resort hotel architectu re for its "ingenious plan , which appears complicated but is actually orderly and thoughtful ." Author and critic Alan Hess writes , "Greater thinness and more striking elegance became the single-minded focus of his ongoing design. " Despite a reputation for carousing , Cody was exceptionally focused on the details of his designs and pushing the boundaries of his materials . His well-known and innovative early buildings , along with friendships with influential members of the Thunderbird , Tamarisk , and Eldorado Country Clubs , resulted in commissions to design (or in the case of Thunderbird , remodel ) the clubhouses of all three locations . In addition , Cody designed a large number of residences in the country club areas, many along the fairways of the new resort concept of golf course living, a concept that Cody himself helped devise .

Author Adele Cygelman writes , "Joints and door frames seemingly disappeared into walls. He merged living rooms into terraces and gardens . Roofs Jutted out twelve feet to shield the walls of glass . Pattern and texture came from tile floors, carved wood panels , and concrete-block screens with geometric motifs , all of which were meticulously designed by Cody to match each other precisely at the seams and angles where the planes met." Like other Coachella Valley architects , Cody designed churches , gas stations , motels , restaurants , offices, a mobile home park , shopping centers , even a carwash. "Yet a distinct character can be seen in all of them ," says Hess . "It is a restless energy that brings a liveliness to his plans , elevat ions and details . The radical thinness of Cody roofs or the daring reach of a cantilever are clearly the result of a wrestling match between the architect and the materials and the laws of physics ; that energy and striving remains in the building ." Hess concludes , "The fact that Cody could take an established vocabulary and style and reinterpret it so vividly ranks him among the best of mid-century California designers ." The Hines Residence is a good example of Cody 's use of board and batten for sheathing . In addition , the use of natural rock for walls and the chimney , projecting beam ends , deep overhangs , and thin square support posts are all hallmarks of a Cody design . The house is in fine, original condition . Of the ten properties in this cluster , only four retained sufficient architectural integrity to be noteworthy. The Hines Residence appears eligible for designation under an existing or proposed local ordinance , but does not appear eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (a "5S1 " National Registe r Status Code).

· Behind the t~ workmen

dation for an expensive

the 18th fairway ran down
a steep hill to a beautifully
d:mloUt'i!d green. The iH!ll­
i;lde beut grass on the

GOLFAGRAPHS
8,000 - square foot green
was Immaculate. So was
the tee Jimmy Hines was
standing on as he pre­
pared to hit his tee shot.
"There's plenty ol room
on the l'ight," said Jimmy,
"All thc . tt·ouble is on the
lcfl, This will be a good
hole for the merobers. It's
long (.376 yards) but the
J>!'evniling wind will ~avor
the plnyer."
Jimmy hit his tee shot,
aiming it to the right side
of the fairway. And at age
61, Jimmy Hines• ewlng
was as smooth a11 it was in
1935 when lie won the
L:A. Open with a 72-hole ·
score of 280. However,. he
was w1·ong on one count.

His solidly-hit drive
st!'uck a bunker about 23S
ym'd~ off the tee,
Au ERBr Par.;;
"But," Jimmy said as he
walked up the fairway,
•most members will not be
able to reach that trap . U
they avoid the ditch on the
left they will have plenty
of fairway to hit."
, Later,- on No. 13, a -47!!­
yard par-5 that ran down­
hill, Jimmy pointed to two
fairway bunk()rs about 2-l.0
yards from the tee and
told profeasionol E r u c e
Wyatt, "This is an easy
r,ar-5 IF you drive BE­
TWEEN the bunkers.

Don't try to clea1· them. Jn

Jimmy then s t r u c k a
low, whistling hook with a
driver between the traps.

His ball rolled llown the
hill and he wa; left with a
short iron shot to the
green. Wyatt, meanwhile,
smashed a drive at the
right bunker and the ball
buried in the top of the
hazard.

On No. 14, a short C329
yards) par-4 that dog-legs
sharply to the lefi, Jimmy
again w a r n e d t h a t it
would be better to hit a 4-
,vood. He did-and had a
wedge shot to the green.

Wyatt hit a driver, hooked
the ball perfectly around
the corner but knocked it
.through the fairn·ay into
trouble. ·
In faimes~ to Wyatt, it
should he pointed out .that
the young professiona(
was helping Hines with
his homework. They were
playing the. new Friendly
Hills.Country CJub course
in Whittier for the first
time and they were anx­
ious to 11ee how the holes
should be played. · ·
J i m m y designed t h e
course, which was built by
J. D. Kilpatrick for Walter
· Gayner's F1·icndly Hills
DE:velopment Co. W i th
Kilpatrick watch ing close­
ly, Hines carefulty checked
the placement of bunkers,
trees, etc., to see how the ii"
locations would affect the
play or club members.

On No. 6, for example; he
thought a small lake
should be moved because
it posed a oevere hazard
Cot· short hllters. Trees on
tivo 'other 'lioh s also
proved to be minor prob­
lem,s. . "They'll probably
have to.come.down,"
sighed Jimmy. "But," he
explained, "we want~d to
Hee how it looked. You can
lake one dciwn In !ivc
minutes."
The course, which IR
located in the Homes oC
Friendly Hills real estate
development, can be
i;tretched to about 6,500
yards. But ~.mes, who also
teamed with Kilpatrick to
develop the beautiful Pau­

too concerned with l~rl{Jth.

He would rather substi­

Dear Melissa,
It's so nice to see that you're preparing the historic nomination document for the James (Jimmy) Hines residence at North Thunderbird.

I visited the house when it was being remodeled by an architect, possibly in February 2007. I don't recall the specific changes being done, but the front of the house with the driveway orientation, back of the Livingroom fireplace, entrance, kitchen, and carport largely remain as the original design.

Building permits from 2006-2007 at the planning department would indicate from the floorplans the existing building versus the proposed changes.

Thank you very much for your diligent efforts at trying to preserve William Cody's legacy.

Most appreciative,
Catherine Cody

STAFF REPORT
TO: Mayor and City Council DATE: October 61 2022
FROM: Kofi Antobam, Director of Administrative Services SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution of Intention to Annex Territory Comprising 5.04 Acres to Community Facilities District No. 1 in Connection with Tentative Parcel Map No.

TPM38106

SPECIFIC REQUEST OR RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2022-(Next-in-Order), declaring the City's intention to annex territory to Community Facilities District No. 1 and to levy a special tax therein for additional police and fire services, preliminarily approve a map of the area proposed to be annexed, and schedule a public hearing to consider the annexation and the levy of the special tax for Annexation No. 189.

JUSTIFICATION OR INFORMATION
Procedural Background
The proposed process for this annexation of territory into Community Facilities District No. 1 (police and fire) (sometimes, the "District") is the standard process followed by the City of Rancho Mirage ("City") for all development within the City's jurisdiction. This is the first step in the City's process to complete the annexation of this development project into the District (the second, and last step, will be considered by the City Council at its November 17, 2022 meeting).

Property Information
The territory proposed for annexation ("Annexed Territory") is located at the southwest corner of Ginger Rogers Road and Via Josefina. The Annexed Territory is comprised of one parcel totaling approximately 5.04 acres (gross). The zoning is R-L-2 (Very Low Density Residential). The project has a condition of approval (#16) to annex into Community Facilities District No. 11.

District Background
The Mello-Roos Community Facilities District Act of 1982 (the "Mello-Roos Act" or the "Act," Government Code§ 53311 et seq.) provides the City with a means of financing public facilities, infrastructure, and services, especially in connection with new development through the imposition of special taxes approved by a vote of the qualified electorate of the District. 1 Th e Tract Map associated wi th this project also has a condition to an n ex i n to the District .

AGENDA ITEM#
7-2
DATE: October 6, 2022
CFD No. 1 Annexation No. 189; Via Josefina - La Paloma Homes Page 2 of 3 JUSTIFICATION OR INFORMATION CONTINUED:

On September 27, 1990, the City established the District pursuant to the Act, wherein a special tax is levied on new residential and commercial/industrial developments to recapture costs associated with the provision of additional police and fire services rendered to those new developments that are not reimbursed by property taxes.

In accordance with Condition No. 16 of Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM38106, the owner of the Annexed Territory, La Paloma Homes (the "Owner"), submitted a Petition for Annexation (the "Petition"), a copy of which is on file in the City Clerk 's Office and is incorporated by reference to the attached Resolution of Intention (the "Resolution"), which requests the City Council to initiate annexation proceedings to annex the Annexed Territory into the District and provides for expedited approval of the annexation and the levy of the special tax.

The proposed annexation to the District contains approximately 5.04 acres (gross) as shown on the annexation map attached to the Resolution ("Annexation Map"), which will be preliminarily approved with adoption of the proposed Resolution. This annexation to the District is identified as Annexation Number 189. The project is slated to subdivide a single parcel into four residential parcels. For illustration purposes only, if residential homes were to be built on the parcels in FY22/23, the estimated annual District revenue generated for this annexation would be $1,431.12 (4 dwelling units x FY22/23 CFD per dwelling unit fee of $357.78 per dwelling unit).

Discussion
The process to accomplish an annexation to a community facilities district is governed by the Act (see Government Code Sections 53339 et seq.). The process can be expedited following the procedures authorized under Government Code Section 53327 of the Act, which permits the City to introduce the proposed Resolution at a City Council meeting and at the next City Council meeting, conduct the public hearing, call the special election, announce the results of the special election, and approve the annexation and levy the special tax using the rate and method of apportionment set forth in Exhibit "B" of the Resolution.

This expedited process is made possible by the Petition received from Owner which asserts, and the City has confirmed, that the Owner owns one hundred percent of the Annexed Territory, which is vacant land. Since Owner is the sole owner of the Annexed Territory, Owner will be the sole participant in the special election to approve the annexation and levy the tax. The Petition allows for a shortening of the time for the special election to expedite the annexation process and waives any requirement for notice, analysis and arguments in connection with the election.

The City Clerk concurs with the shortened time for the election.

Approval of the Resolution would allow the City to do the following:

1. Accept the Petition submitted by Owner requesting that the City initiate proceedings for the annexation of the Annexed Territory to the District, consent to the levy upon the Annexed Territory of the District's special tax for additional police and fire services, allow a shortening of the time for the special election to expedite the annexation process, and waive requirements for notice, analysis and arguments in connection with the special election required to be conducted for the annexation.

AGENDA ITEM#
7-3
DATE: October 6, 2022
CFD No. 1 Annexation No. 189; Via Josefina - La Paloma Homes Page 3 of 3 JUSTIFICATION OR INFORMATION CONTINUED:

2. Accept and preliminarily approve the Annexation Map and direct the City Clerk to record the map within fifteen days of the date of the adoption of the Resolution; and

3. Establish the date and time of the public hearing on the annexation and levy of the special tax and direct the City Clerk to mail/deliver to Owner the sole ballot on the issue of the annexation and levy of the special tax, which must be received prior to the start of the public hearing.

Assuming the City Council approves the Resolution, the following steps will remain in order to accomplish the annexation and levy the special tax:

1. The Annexation Map will be recorded.

2. The City Clerk will mail or deliver the special election ballot to Owner with a return deadline that is prior to the start of the public hearing.

3. On the date of the public hearing, the City Council will conduct the public hearing, at which time the qualified electors residing in the District may appear and be heard on the annexation and levy of the special tax. The City Clerk will report at the meeting on the number of protests. In the unlikely event fifty percent (50%) or more of the registered voters residing within the territory proposed to be included in the District file written protests against the levy, no action to annex the Annexed Territory will be taken by the City Council.

4. At the conclusion of the public hearing, provided written protests have not been filed, the City Council will be asked to consider adoption of a resolution calling a special election to submit to Owner, as the sole qualified elector of the Annexed Territory, the question of levying the special tax. The City Clerk will then canvass the voted ballot and report the results of the election to the City Council.

5. Finally, the City Council will consider the adoption of a resolution declaring the results of the election, approving the annexation of the Annexed Territory and the levy, and directing the City Clerk to complete, execute and cause to be recorded an amendment to the Notice of Special Tax Lien in the form required by the Act, within fifteen days of the date of the adoption of the resolution, as required by Section 3117.5 of the California Streets and Highways Code.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
The annexation of territory to a community facilities district constitutes the creation of a funding mechanism and/or other governmental fiscal activity, which will not involve commitment to a specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.

As such, the proposed annexation and levy of the special tax are exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), pursuant to sections 15378(b) and 15061 (b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.

STAFF REPORT
Mayor and City Council
Jessica L. Pulliam, Sr. Management Analyst
Isaiah Hagerman, City Manager
SUBJECT: Turf Rebate Program Modification

SPECIFIC REQUEST OR RECOMMENDATION
DATE: October 61 2022
That the City Council approve a modification to the Rancho Mirage Turf Rebate Program in Partnership with the Coachella Valley Water District and approval of an additional $500,000 for a total of $2,500,000 allocation to the program, and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to take all further actions to implement the same, including approving and executing all associated agreement(s), approved as to form by the City Attorney.

JUSTIFICATION OR INFORMATION

BACKGROUND
In May of 2022, the California State Water Resources Control Board adopted a new emergency water conversation regulation to ensure a more aggressive approach to saving water, including a ban on the watering of nonfunctional turf. Regulation required water agencies to activate "Level 2" of their Water Shortage Contingency Plans, which assumes up to a 20% water shortage, which the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) Board of Directors adopted at their June 14, 2022, meeting. As of June 10, 2022, the state ban on watering non-functional turf went into effect and additional actions such as the prohibiting of spray irrigation during daylight hours and restaurants only serving water on request went into effect on June 14, 2022.

The City of Rancho Mirage has long supported the reduction of water usage and has encouraged the removal of turf and conversion to more drought tolerant landscaping through two prior Rancho Mirage Turf Rebate Programs which ran in 2011 and 2016 and then the most recent which was approved by Council on July 7, 2022. Due to high demand the City Council has approved several budget modifications to the program with the most recent allocation of funds on August 16, 2022, which increased the Turf Rebate Program budget to a total $2 million.

The program has run out of funds again due to demand for the program. Staff is recommending the City Council approve an additional $500,000 in budget for the program. If the City Council approves the additional $500,000 the total program budget would increase to a total $2.5 million.

This program and partnership with CVWD has been very successful and has motivated our community to convert to artificial turf or more drought tolerant landscaping. City staff would like AGENDA ITEM#

DATE: October 6, 2022 Page 2 of 2
Turf Rebate Program Modification
JUSTIFICATION OR INFORMATION CONTINUED:
to acknowledge and thank CVWD staff for being great partners and allowing for a streamlined application process. The CVWD has continued to encourage customers to reduce their water use, especially outdoors, where the biggest water savings can be achieved. This includes fixing leaks immediately, applying for conservation rebates such as their $3 per square foot turf conversion program, irrigating more efficiently, and eliminating water waste.

The Rancho Mirage Turf Rebate Program provides a matching rebate of $3 per sq. fl. for residential and $1 per sq. fl. for HOA/Commercial Rancho Mirage CVWD turf conversion rebate completed projects through a partnership with CVWD; providing our residents a total of $6 per sq. fl. ($3 City and $3 CVWD) and HOAs/Commercial a total of $4 per sq. fl. ($1 City and $3 CVWD), per project, for living turf removal. In addition, a direct rebate is available through the City for those projects that are required to utilize a landscape architect with a reimbursement of up to $6,000 per project. Applicants can apply directly through CVWD website. All projects require pre-approval by CVWD before any turf can be removed.

INFORMATION
It is proposed that the City consider allocating an additional $500,000 to the Rancho Mirage Turf Rebate Program, if approved, this would bring the total program to $2.5 million. Of the additional $500,000 it is proposed to reserve $400,000 for residential at a $3 per sq. fl. rebate and $100,000 for HOA/commercial projects at the current matching $1 per sq. fl. rebate.

CVWD is willing to continue to collaborate with the City of Rancho Mirage to continue to fund their portion of the rebate.

FISCAL IMPACT
This program is requested to have an additional $500,000 allocation, to be paid out of General Fund reserves and will require a budget adjustment to the general fund. Any future funding requests will be presented to the City Council for approval. This will bring the turf rebate program to a total of $2.5 million.

Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Summary and Year-End Budget Adjustments

JUSTIFICATION OR INFORMATION CONTINUED
FY 2021-2022 Operating Revenue and Expenditure Discussion Actual revenues exceeded budgeted projections by approximately $6.2 million. The increase in operating revenues was caused largely by actual revenue exceeding budgeted revenue for transient occupancy tax ($1,326,000), sales tax ($1,175,000), transfer from Community Facilities District ($1,162,000), development related permits ($558,000), property tax ($389,000), real property transfer tax ($319,000), and interest income ($281,000); the remaining 25+ revenue sources saw a combined increase of approximately $982,000 over budgeted amounts.

Operating expenditures came in under budget by approximately $1.6 million. Operating expenditures for the General Fund can be grouped into three object level categories: Personnel, Operations and Maintenance, and Department Capital. Personnel (salaries and benefits) was $368,000 under budget, operations and maintenance was approximately $1 .2 million under budget, and department capital was approximately $1,500 over budget.

The decrease in operating expenditures was primarily attributed to a decrease in the anticipated subsidy to the Fire Tax Fund which was caused by increases in revenue from Community Facilities District #1, the Community Services District, and the medical insurance billing program.

FY 2021-2022 Non-Operating Revenue and Expenditure Discussion Non-operating revenues for the fiscal year consists of approximately $775,000 in various grants and reimbursements and $2.2 million in Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) funding.

Non-operating expenditures for various City capital projects and one-time expenditures totaled approximately $4.5 million. Approximately 71 .9%, or $3.24 million, of this amount can be attributed to recycled water infrastructure improvements in Section 31 and a non-operating transfer to the Fire Fund for capital improvements at Fire Station #50.

FY 2021-2022 Reserve Balances
The City Council approved the City's Fund Balance Policy in May 2013 with subsequent amendments occurring in March 2015, May 2017, and March 2019. The table below summarizes the reserve balances as of June 30, 2022.

Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Summary and Year-End Budget Adjustments

JUSTIFICATION OR INFORMATION CONTINUED

YEAR-END BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS
The City's long-established budgeting policy is that General Fund expenditures are not to exceed appropriations at the object level. The three objects for the General Fund are Personnel, Operations and Maintenance, and Department Capital. This means that expenditures for a General Fund Department, such as the City Clerk, or General Fund Division, such as Finance, are not to exceed the individual amounts budgeted for Personnel (salaries & benefits), operations & maintenance, and capital items (furniture & equipment). For all other funds, the policy is expenditures are not to exceed total appropriations for the Fund.

Instances of non-compliance with our budgeting policy are required to be disclosed in the City's annual financial report. Based on the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 review, staff is recommending several budget adjustments (see Attachment 2) to maintain compliance with the policy.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Mayor and City Council DATE: October 61 2022
FROM: Isaiah Hagerman, City Manager
SUBJECT: Proposed Increase in Contracted Sheriff Services

SPECIFIC REQUEST OR RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council authorize the Mayor, City Manager, and City Attorney to execute an amendment to the City's law enforcement contract with the County of Riverside increase the daily patrol hours to 96 hours a day and to add an additional motorcycle deputy.

JUSTIFICATION OR INFORMATION
DISCUSSION:

City staff and Lt. Shaun Myers met with a Subcommittee, which consisted of Mayor Townsend and Councilmember Downs, to review the current levels of contracted Sheriff services. The Subcommittee recommended this proposal of increasing our daily patrol hours to 96 and adding an additional motorcycle deputy to our contracted law enforcement services be considered by the City Council.

The City Council places a high priority on ensuring the highest quality public safety to our community. Police protection in Rancho Mirage is provided on a service contract basis by the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. The current agreement went into effect on July 1, 2021 and is a five-year contract that is in effect until June 30, 2026. Over the years, the City and the Riverside County Sheriffs Department have forged a pro-active partnership that has resulted in technology/equipment enhancements, highly trained and qualified law enforcement personnel serving our community. Although the City is concerned with the cost increases in our contract rates, we have always maintained a high level of service. The City Council has also established a $10 million Public Safety Reserve to ensure public safety services are maintained at high levels of service .

The commonly accepted ratio of number of sworn officers to residents is one officer per 1,000 residents. The City's standard source for population data is the State of California, Department of Finance, which has the City's population at 16,804 (E-1 Population Estimates for Cities, Counties and the State with Annual Percent Change-January 1, 2021 and 2022. Sacramento, California, May 2022). However, the U.S. Census Bureau has the City's population at 18,537 (American Community Survey - 2020 5-Year Estimates Data Profile) . If the City Council approves this proposed addition to service levels the ratios for each population figure are shown below.

Informational:

In addition to the sworn officers, the City also has five dedicated Community Service Officers (CSO) that serve our Community. CSO's are a vital part of the City's law enforcement services, as explained below. There is no proposed change to the number of CSO's but we occasionally get asked about their role. The below is meant to be informational on the importance of the role they have within our public safety services.

The Role of Community Service Officers (CSO)
CSO's are non-sworn personnel that drive police vehicles and wear uniforms, but don't carry guns. CSO's fulfill an important supporting role for community outreach programs and to sworn armed deputies. CSO's supportive role allows deputies to return to patrols and be available for responding to calls quicker. CSO's assist deputies with paperwork, transporting arrestees and spend time on traffic collisions, such as waiting for tow-trucks, etc. Our CSO's also do all the coordinating and presentations, which are important to our numerous homeowner associations and community watch groups within the City. CSO's also perform our free home assessments for residents through the Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, or CPTED. CPTED is a crime prevention philosophy that attempts to apply physical design, citizen participation, and law enforcement strategies in a comprehensive way to protect neighborhoods and facilities In short, CSO's ensure sworn deputies spend more time patrolling and providing safety to our residents and visitors.

JUSTIFICATION OR INFORMATION CONT INUED
FISCAL IMPACT:

The annualized cost for adding an additional motorcycle deputy will be approximately $385,000, plus the costs of specialized equipment and the motorcycle. The annualized cost for increasing the daily patrol hours to 96 hours will be approximately $1.1 million for a combined annualized cost of $1.5 million. Staff will incorporate the proposed changes into the mid-year budget adjustments if this proposal is approved by the City Council.
