City of Rancho Mirage
The "Proposed Project" is an omnibus ordinance,
proposing various revisions to Title 5 (Business Taxes, Licenses and Regulations), Title 10 (Vehicles and
Traffic), Title 16 (Subdivisions) and Title 17 (Zoning), as specified in more detail herein.
City -Wide
Pursuant to the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 15378 the
proposed amendments are not considered a "project"
under CEQA. Furthermore, the proposed amendments
are exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3).
The primary purpose of this omnibus ordinance is to introduce certain amendments to Title 5 (Business Taxes, Licenses and Regulations), Title 10 (Vehicles and Traffic), Title 16 (Subdivisions), and Title 17 (Zoning) of the Rancho Mirage Municipal Code as further detailed in the staff report. As part of regular Municipal Code maintenance updates to various Titles are occasionally required to correct errors, update standards and ensure that the Municipal Code complies with new regulations.
DISCUSSION
The following discusses some of the changes proposed as part of the Municipal Code updates, see Attachment 4 (Ordinance for ZTA24-0002) for the full scope of the proposed revisions that are subject to Planning Commission review. In the Ordinance proposed additions are "bolded and underlined" and deletions have a " trilkethrough In addition, as detailed in the Ordinance, the title of the Ordinance may change when presented to the City Council if staff adds additional proposed Municipal Code revisions which are outside the purview of the Planning Commission, and therefore go directly to the City Council.
Title 17 (Zoning):
Section 17.08.012 (Allowable Residential Zone Uses, Permit Requirements and Project Review Authority): Senate Bill 9 has required single family homes to be reviewed at the staff level for over two years, but our Municipal Code has not been updated to reflect the change, the amendment includes revising the project review authority for single family homes from the Planning Commission Staff Report AGENDA ITEM #

Planning Commission to Staff to reflect SB9. In addition, a cleanup amendment is included removing Horses as land use category since horses are included in the Animal Keeping land use category.
Section 17.08.020 (Residential Districts General Development Standards): Currently the Medium Density Residential (R -M) maximum density is incorrectly listed at five (5) dwelling units per acres, this will be revised to four (4) dwelling units per acres. The General Plan and other Municipal Code Sections currently reference the correct density of four (4) dwelling units per acre.
Section 17.20.110 (Outdoor Storage): Removes and clarifies references to a chapter for Recreation Vehicles that does not exist and was replaced with a Temporary Occupancy Vehicle section in 2017.
Section 17.30.030 (Animal Keeping): Clarifies that Animal Keeping requires a Conditional Use Permit and other minor edits.
Section 17.34.010 (Introduction): Removes the Planning Commission requirement for single family permits in order to remain consistent with the updates to Section 17.08.012 detailed above, in addition to other minor edits.
Section 17.68.060 (Expiration): Increases the expiration of permits that do not have a listed expiration from 180 days to 1 year; this will apply to staff level approvals and is consistent with other expirations.
Title 16 (Subdivisions):
The update to Section 16.12.080 (Expiration) consists of revising a singular California Government Code section reference that is currently incorrect.
Title 10 (Vehicles and Traffic):
The proposed amendments to the Street Vending Ordinance (Section 10.40.120) encompass several necessary changes as this section hasn't been updated since 1991. Most notably, the change in title to include Sidewalk Vending. This change is to allow sidewalk vending pursuant to SB946. The amendment includes the requirement for sidewalk vendors to obtain permits, operational standards, updated definitions, and updates to the applicable fines as detailed in SB946.
The purpose of this Section is to allow sidewalk vending to occur while promoting safe vending practices, prevent safety, traffic, and health hazards, and preserve the public peace, safety, and welfare of the community. Vendors will be required to follow all applicable laws, rules, and regulations including health and safety laws such as Americans with Disabilities Act and Health Department requirements.
Vendors have certain operational requirements, including being limited to taking 15' of sidewalk length while preserving sufficient space as required by ADA. The 15' of the length of the sidewalk Planning Commission Staff Report AGENDA ITEM #

allows vendors to operate from a pushcart or other mobile cart or display without causing disruptions to passing traffic or obstructing access for pedestrians.
Title 5 (Business Taxes, Licenses and Regulations):
The proposed amendment clarifies requirements for Special Events in nonresidential zones within the City only. These zones would include resort and commercial areas and may include events such as festivals, fairs, expos, markets, athletic events, parades and outdoor entertainment events. Outdoor events larger than 400 attendees and/ or containing temporary structures, as set forth in the California Building and Fire Code, would simply need to apply and obtain a Special Event Permit processed at Staff Level.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
This Ordinance is not a "project" under CEQA pursuant to Title 14 California Code of Regulations, Section 15378, because it will not cause a direct (or reasonably foreseeable indirect) physical environmental change, but even assuming arguendo that the action is a "project" under CEQA, it is exempt from CEQA pursuant to 15061(b)(3) in that the amendments involve general policy and procedure making, and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the amendments will have a significant effect on the environment
INDEPENDENT CITY ATTORNEY ANALYSIS
The proposed ordinance is an omnibus ordinance, amending various Titles, Chapters, and Sections of the Rancho Mirage Municipal Code.
Section 1.04.031 of the Rancho Mirage Municipal Code provides in part that "[n]o ordinance shall be deemed effective unless the City Attorney determines that the City has the authority to adopt the proposed ordinance, that the proposed ordinance is constitutionally valid under the state and federal constitutions, and that the proposed ordinance is consistent with the general powers and purposes of the City, the City's Charter, ordinances approved by the voters, and any applicable federal and/or state laws."
A city may make and enforce within its limits all local, police, sanitary, and other ordinances and regulations not in conflict with applicable state laws. Cal Const art XI, §7. The police power of a city is its right to adopt regulations designed to promote the public convenience or the general prosperity, as well as regulations designed to promote the public health, the public morals, or the public safety. Chicago, B. & Q. Ry. Co. v Illinois (1906) 200 US 561, 592, 26 S Ct 341. The exercise of police power must: 1) be reasonably related to a legitimate governmental purpose (Birkenfeld v City of Berkeley (1976) 17 C3d 129, 158. See Consolidated Rock Prods.
Co. v City of Los Angeles (1962) 57 C2d 515, 522 (there must be reasonable basis in fact to support legislative determination of regulation's wisdom and necessity)); and 2) have a reasonable tendency to promote the public health, morals, safety, or general welfare of the community (Carlin v City of Palm Springs (1971) 14 CA3d 706, 711 (city has broad discretion in determining what is reasonable in endeavoring to protect public health, safety, morals, and general welfare of community).
Pursuant to the City's police power, and based in part on the evidence and administrative record, and findings set forth in this staff report and attached Resolutions, it is the City Attorney's Planning Commission Staff Report AGENDA ITEM #

Ben Torres, Planning Manager, presented the staff report.
Public Comments
Steven Friscia, resident of Rancho Mirage, commented that the project looked very nice and he was pleased with the setbacks. He expressed concern about the future office building site location, indicating he preferred to see the skilled nursing facility at that location.
Nasim Tourkaman, resident of Rancho Mirage, was in attendance on behalf of her parents to oppose the proposed project. She commented that they would prefer that site be developed for office uses with typical office operating hours. She expressed concern with 24 -hour operation, noise, building heights, lighting, view impacts, and traffic. She also summarized a prior community meeting organized by the project developers where several concerns regarding the trash enclosure and generator were raised, some of which were addressed. She respectfully requested that the trash enclosure be relocated and building height lowered.
Commissioner Comments
Commissioner Chanter asked the applicant's project manager to address resident concerns.
Alan Warren, project manager for the development team, thanked staff for being extremely helpful as the development team had carefully spent the last five years analyzing projects and their impact on the communities that they develop in. He summarized the proposed project's design, noting that the facilities were intended to help people heal and go back to their everyday lives. Mr. Warren added that a community meeting was held early in the process, where a number of concerns were heard, such as lighting, trees, trash enclosures, and building heights.
He added that they addressed the concerns and made a number of changes to what was originally proposed. He noted that the development team increased the set -back, to move the buildings away from the residences that were more closely impacted. He added that they also made adjustments to the trees that were initially proposed and rethought the lighting for the entire development.
DRAFT 5/30/2024 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 7 12-99
John Greenwood, PVG Architects, highlighted two additional questions that were raised by residents regarding the future building site, noting that it would meet all requirements of the Special Corner Overlay, which included a setback of 122 feet measured at a 45° angle from the curb at the intersection of Bob Hope Drive and Gerald Ford Drive. He elaborated that medical uses would be intended for the future building site, which would be one-story, and most likely in the 5,000 square -foot range. He confirmed that considerations were made to address the generator, which was moved to the Bob Hope side and the trash enclosure was relocated much closer to the building next to the back of house. Mr. Greenwood added that all lighting along the eastern boundary was eliminated and the project met night sky requirements.
Commissioner Chanter asked the development team to clarify the skilled nursing facility's stay duration.
Mr. Warren clarified that the facility would be for short-term rehabilitation, with stays of 21 days or less.
Commissioner Chanter commented that she liked that the development team met with the community and made changes to create an attractive design.
Commissioner Curran made positive comments on the design and spoke in favor of the future office building location. He added that plenty of parking was provided and the height of the building was in line with surrounding projects. He appreciated that the development team worked with the community to try to accommodate changes.
Vice Chair Agostini noted that he felt the public comments had been addressed. He agreed with the other Commissioners in regard to the facility being very appealing.
Commissioner Bryant thanked the development team for the very well -prepared project.
He inquired about the future development and if they had to meet all future conditions of approval.
Mr. Torres confirmed that the developer would have to submit a new entitlement application when they were ready to develop the pad site and go through the entitlement process.
Commissioner Bryant expressed concern about traffic and the right turn lane on Gerald Ford Drive in regard to traffic slowing down to turn right into the development. He inquired about a right turn pocket for the site, setbacks, and landscaping.
Mr. Torres elaborated on the landscaping proposed and confirmed the future building site would have a minimum setback of 25 feet from the property line on the Gerald Ford frontage. He added that the building would be located 51 feet from the curb and would be set back in compliance with the Special Corner Overlay. He also explained the existing dry well and current right turn pocket conditions.
Commissioner Bryant praised the building design and spoke of a need for these facilities.
He inquired about the conditional use permit, facility staffing, and required approvals.

Re: opposition to Zoning text amendment case No. ZTA24-0002 being approved by City of Rancho Mirage appointees
Dear City of Rancho Mirage,
Please accept this letter (email) in opposition to the City of Rancho Mirage official consideration of Zoning text amendment case No. ZTA24-0002.
As this organization is well aware, the proposed change(s) to the City of Rancho Mirage's 12-105
zoning text (case no. ZTA24-0002) are not written in a reasonably understandable fashion.
Both the Public hearing notice and the "Special" planning commission agenda descriptions were not written in a matter which could clearly be identified and understood by the average person.
The city of Rancho Mirage impeded member's of the Public of retaining further details of Zoning text amendment case No. ZTA24-0002 by not having those details accessible through the City controlled website.
It's reasonable to consider that due to different terms beings displayed "Special Event Permit" and " Nonresidential Special Event Permit" language being listed between the Public Hearing Notice and from the current Rancho Mirage Special Planning Commission meeting agenda - further clarification details should be released to the general public before consideration of this zoning text amendment case No. ZTA24-0002 is continued.
Sincerely,
Brad Anderson 1 37043 Ferber Dr. Rancho Mirage, CA. 92270 Cc:

STAFF REPORT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Jessica L. Pulliam, Deputy of Sustainability
SUBJECT: Solid Waste/Recyclables Collection and Disposal Charges for FY 2024/25 DATE: June 20, 2024
SPECIFIC REQUEST OR RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024 -(Next in Order), Establishing Solid Waste and Recycling Collection and Disposal Rates for All Classes of Customers within the City of Rancho Mirage, Effective July 1, 2024.
JUSTIFICATION OR INFORMATION
BACKGROUND
Annually, the Rancho Mirage City Council establishes the rates for solid waste and recyclables collection and disposal. The contract governing these services, formally known as the Contract for the Collection, Transportation, and Disposal of Municipal Solid Waste and the Collection and Recycling of Recyclable Materials, Yard Trimmings, Food Scraps, and Construction and Demolition Debris, was entered into with Burrtec Waste Management and Recycling Service LLC. This agreement was ratified by the Council on June 16, 2022, under Resolution 2022-37.
The contract established the initial ceiling on the rates Burrtec could charge in its first year.
These maximum rates were calculated by a consultant hired by the City, who conducted in -field assessments of the time each service level required, route audits for appropriate cart sizing and spacing, a comprehensive review of Burrtec's audited financial statements, and detailed meetings to verify all associated costs. Burrtec subsequently set its actual rates, adhering to these caps.
Furthermore, the contract delineates the methodology for future rate adjustments, which are structured around three primary components: collection and processing, disposal, and an annual reconciliation between the actual disposal costs incurred by Burrtec and the disposal charges outlined in the rate framework.
Table I below summarizes the proposed change in the residential rate for an individual residence with twice -a -week walk -in-service.

Rate

The contract with Burrtec stipulates that the collection component of the rates may be adjusted annually based on changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), with a cap of 5%. This year, the CPI relevant to Burrtec's contract has risen by 4.65%. Accordingly, Burrtec is proposing a rate increase of 4.65%, as permitted under the terms of the contract.
The rate adjustment mechanism is designed to annually reflect changes in the CPI and includes a reconciliation of the previous year's revenue against the actual costs incurred for the disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW), the processing of organics, and the valuation of recyclables.
For the upcoming period, the rate for an individual residence receiving twice -weekly walk-in service will increase by approximately $1.16 per month for the collection and processing components.
The disposal fee component is directly linked to the charges levied by Riverside County for the disposal of the City's solid waste at county -operated landfills. This fee, known as the tipping fee, has increased from $68.20 per ton to $72.98 per ton. Despite this increase, the total disposal charge for the city shows a net reduction of $1.43, reflecting a decrease in the volume of trash disposed due to the effective implementation and usage of new green organics carts in 2023.
The monthly processing fee has risen, driven by the CPI adjustment for processing organics and recyclables and the increased costs associated with transitioning to a state -mandated Covered Aerated Static Pile (CASP) system for processing food scrap -containing organics. Additionally, residents received a credit of $1.39 for the recyclables they diverted, although this credit was reduced from the previous year due to lower commodity prices in 2023.
After accounting for the increase in the collection component, the reduction in disposal fees, and the credit for recycled materials, the total residential rate will rise from the current $28.91 per month to $29.80 per month. This represents a three percent increase for the standard level of residential service.
For the complete listing of all residential and commercial rates, the proposed rates are provided as an attachment to the Resolution as Exhibit A.

STAFF REPORT
Mayor and City Council DATE: June 20, 2024
FROM: Jessica L. Pulliam, Deputy of Sustainability
Michael R. Cobden, Deputy City Attorney
SUBJECT: Seeking Approval for use of Funds Received under the National Opioid Settlements
SPECIFIC REQUEST OR RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council consider approving the Rancho Mirage Opioid Abatement Program for use of funds received from the Settlement Agreements with Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., Allergan Finance, LLC and Allergan Limited, Walmart Inc., Walgreen Co., and CVS Health Corporation and CVS Pharmacy, Inc.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
National Opioid Settlements. In 2021, opioid manufacturers and distributors reached a settlement with state Attorneys General to resolve litigation against the three largest pharmaceutical distributors and the opioid manufacturer Janssen (owned by Johnson & Johnson). In 2023, further agreements were reached with three pharmacy chains—CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart—and two additional manufacturers—Allergan and Teva. The City Council has authorized the City Manager to enter into those settlement agreements. Under all the Settlements, at least 85% of the funds going directly to participating states and subdivisions must be used for abatement of the opioid epidemic, with the overwhelming bulk of the proceeds restricted to funding future abatement efforts by state and local governments.
California Allocation Agreement. The National Settlements allot a certain amount of money to California to be allocated between the State and local governments. The state is responsible for distributing these funds to cities and counties through interstate allocation agreements. Under the agreements, the money we receive must be spent on remediation with no less than 50% of each local government's allocation in each calendar year spent on one or more of the following High Impact Abatement Activities:
o The provision of matching funds or operating costs for substance use disorder facilities within the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program; o Creating new or expanded Substance Use Disorder ("SUD") treatment infrastructure;
o Addressing the needs of communities of color and vulnerable populations (including sheltered and unsheltered homeless populations) that are disproportionately impacted by SUD;
o Diversion of people with SUD from the justice system into treatment, including by AGENDA ITEM #

National Opioid Litigation Settlement Programs
JUSTIFICATION OR INFORMATION CONTINUED
providing training and resources to first and early responders (sworn and non - sworn) and implementing best practices for outreach, diversion and deflection, employability, restorative justice, and harm reduction; and/or o Interventions to prevent drug addiction in vulnerable youth.
Under the terms of the agreements, the City must annually report how it spends funds received from the settlements.
RM Opioid Settlement Funds:
• To date, $157,600 has been received.
• Note: All settlement funds received by the City must be utilized within 5 years of receipt, or they must be returned.
Proposed: Staff recommends that the City allocate the received funds to Rancho Mirage serving nonprofits, with annual awards based on available funds. Multi -year requests (up to 5 years) would be allowed, but funding would only be awarded for year one. Subsequent year awards would be announced each year based on the available funding received by the City the previous year. Selection of proposals would prioritize allowable uses with the greatest impact.
How Would the Funding Work? The available funding would be allocated for the FY 2025 program. All settlement funds received during FY 2025 and any residual funds not used would be allocated for the FY 2026 program, continuing until the settlement funding ends.
Proposed Process:
• Funding proposals may be submitted annually for consideration for the upcoming fiscal year program.
• Staff will review and recommend project selections.
• Selected projects will undergo City Attorney review for compliance with allowable funding usages.
• Projects will be presented to the Council for consideration. • Awardees will be announced.
• 50% of the awarded amount will be released.
• Awardees must submit monthly activity and expenditure reports to Staff. • Payment requests for the remaining award amount must be submitted during the term.
Unused funds will be retained for the next program year. • All funds must be used by the end of the fiscal year (June 30th), unless a written extension request is granted.
• Final reporting and payment requests are due by mid -July each year. • If ongoing impact reporting is required per the settlement agreements, it will be included in the Awardee agreements for compliance.
Monitoring of ongoing compliance with the settlement agreements, tracking of funds received and used, required settlement reporting, and general administration will be handled by assigned City Staff. Staff will work with the City Attorney to ensure the proposed process complies with AGENDA ITEM #

SUBJECT: Park Maintenance District Special Tax Levy for Fiscal Year 2024/2025
SPECIFIC REQUEST OR RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:
A. Adopt Resolution No. 2024 -(Next -in -Order), ordering the levy and collection of the Park Maintenance Special Tax pursuant to Ordinance No. 685 for Fiscal Year 2024/2025; and B. Direct the City Clerk to file certified copies of the above Resolution and accompanying exhibits, attachments, and reports with the appropriate agencies as required.
JUSTIFICATION OR INFORMATION
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218, known as the Right to Vote on Taxes Act. Prior to approval of Proposition 218, maintenance of City parks had been funded by a city-wide assessment. Under Proposition 218 the existing assessment was not classified as an assessment, but rather a special tax, because the money collected was being used for one specific purpose, that purpose being park maintenance. Under the provisions of Proposition 218, implementation of a special tax required a 2/3rds vote of the electorate. On April 18, 1998 Rancho Mirage residents voted to discontinue the city-wide assessment in favor of a Park Maintenance Special Tax ("Special Tax"), which took effect on July 1, 1998.
The initial Special Tax for Fiscal Year 1998/99 was set at $18.96 per equivalent dwelling unit.
The Special Tax was approved by the voters to allow for annual increases to keep pace with inflation. The calculation for an increase in the Special Tax is based on the change in the prior year Consumer Price Index (CPI). According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the change in Riverside County CPI from calendar year 2023 to 2024 was 3.00%. For Fiscal Year 2023/2024 the Park Tax was levied at $37.86 per dwelling unit; increasing the Park Tax in Fiscal Year 2024/2025 by 3.00% will result in a levy of $39.00 per equivalent dwelling unit, an increase of $1.14 per equivalent dwelling unit.
On June 30, 2024, the Parkland Fund is estimated to have a total fund balance of $957,572.00.
Pursuant to Section 2.68.040(D)(4) of the Rancho Mirage Municipal Code, the annual special park tax to be levied shall be based on the "actual revenues estimated to be required by the City to pay its reasonable and necessary expenses for such year." With the increasing operational expenses required to maintain the City parks, staff is recommending that the special tax be AGENDA ITEM #

increased from the current rate of $37.86 per dwelling unit to a rate of $39.00 per dwelling unit for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 to keep pace with CPI.

RESOLUTION NO. 2024-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO MIRAGE, CALIFORNIA, FORMALLY
OBJECTING TO ANY PROPOSED DESERT HEALTHCARE DISTRICT TENET LEASE "NON -COMPETE" PROVISIONS, AND DIRECTING THE MAYOR TO DRAFT A
LETTER TO THE DESERT HEALTHCARE DISTRICT BOARD, WITH THE
ASSISTANCE OF THE CITY MANAGER, OBJECTING TO THE PROPOSED TENET LEASE "NON -COMPETE" PROVISIONS
WHEREAS, at the June 6, 2024, Regular Rancho Mirage City Council meeting, the City Council considered providing City staff direction regarding any proposed Tenet Lease with Desert Health Care District which includes any "non -compete" provision, which restricts taxpayer funds and elected Board's over the next 30 years; and WHEREAS, by way of background, the Desert Healthcare District (the "District") Board's May 28, 2024, Agenda included an item for the District to consider the revised lease proposal for Desert Regional Medical Center (the "Lease"). Tenant's presentation to the District Board included a reference for a 30 year lease, and would allow Tenet Healthcare, a Dallas -based entity, to take ownership of the hospital at the end of the 30 year lease, which would include a non -compete provision similar to what is included in the existing lease. If approved by the District, the item would be put on the November 2024 ballot for District's voters to weigh in on; and
WHEREAS, as reported in the Desert Sun on May 27, the Lease has drawn opposition from many nurses at Desert Regional Medical Center; and WHEREAS, at the June 6, 2024, City Council meeting, the City Manager provided a powerpoint slide directly from the Tenet presentation given to the District Board, which provided for "Additional Provisions of the Proposed New Lease." In relevant part, in included that "The New Lease would contain a non -compete clause similar to what exists in the current lease, with a territory matching the District's current Boundaries"; and WHEREAS, as referenced immediately above, the existing version of the Tenet lease includes a "non -compete" clause, which are generally set forth in Article XIII (Additional Covenant of Lessor) of the May 30, 1997 Hospital Lease Agreement by Desert Hospital District as Lessor and Tenet Health System Desert, Inc., as Lessee; however, presumably due to the District expanding its boundaries during the term of the existing lease, the existing lease was amended causing some potential ambiguity respecting District's ability to perform certain potentially competing actions within the District's expanded territory. Based off of Tenet's -own powerpoint, it appears the new proposed lease would eliminate any ambiguity regarding whether the non -compete restrictions apply in the expanded territory, and clearly restrict such activities within the entirety of the current (expanded) boundaries of the District; and 1 18-4
WHEREAS, at the June 6 City Council meeting, the City noted that the non - compete provision (1) "restricts the activities of the District within District boundaries", and (2) "restricts the use of taxpayer funds within the District boundaries and requires Tenet's prior written consent, which Tenet may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion"; and
WHEREAS, as highlighted in the City Manager's June 6 presentation, the City Manager concluded that he recommends: 1) the Desert Healthcare District Board needs to remove this non -compete provisions from the new lease, 2) this non -compete provision harms the communities that lack adequate medical services the most, 3) don't allow for-profit Tenet to restrict Desert Healthcare District activities and taxpayer funds for the next 30 years, 4) allow future elected District Board Members to determine what is best with taxpayer funds, and 5) the Desert Healthcare District should be responsible to residents and not the for-profit shareholders of Tenet; and WHEREAS, at the June 6, 2024, City Council meeting, the City Council voted 5- 0 in favor of (1) directing the Mayor to draft a letter to the District, with the assistance of the City Manager, objecting to the non -compete clause within the Lease (the "Letter"), and providing said Letter to the District Board; and (2) that the City Clerk place on the June 20, 2024, Regular City Council meeting Agenda, a Resolution detailing the City's objections to the non -compete provision of the Lease.

JUSTIFICATION OR INFORMATION
DISCUSSION
The City of Rancho Mirage ("City") has a longstanding reliance on contracted services.
Historically, the City has utilized a blend of in-house staffing, external partnerships, and external contracted services to efficiently deliver services to the community. This approach has allowed the City to adapt to evolving needs.
In alignment with this tradition, the City has continually sought avenues to optimize operations and enhance service delivery. Recent initiatives have focused on modernizing processes through strategic partnerships and technological advancements. These efforts will result in revisions to existing operational methodologies across multiple departments to improve operational efficiency and enhance the quality of services the City provides to the community.

JUSTIFICATION OR INFORMATION CONTINUED:
Accountinq Technician 11
Currently, applicants download business license applications from the City website or receive them in person. They complete the application, provide the necessary documents, and hand -deliver or mail the application, supporting documentation, and payment to the City. Questions regarding the process are addressed in person or via phone during standard business hours exclusively. Currently, the Accounting Technician II's primary responsibility is to handle duties related to business licensees.
In order to improve operational efficiency, enhance regulatory compliance, and deliver superior service to the community — all of which are City objectives — the City is automating the business license process by utilizing HdL Business License Administration/Compliance Services software ("HdL"). HdL offers a comprehensive business licensing software platform that manages all aspects of application, review, issuance, payment collection, and regulatory compliance. Utilizing HdL software will significantly enhance efficiency, streamlining the process and reducing staff involvement.
Implementation is anticipated by October 2024, after which all businesses will be able to apply and renew online. Subsequently, there will be a lack of work for an Accounting Technician II position.
To the extent that there are walk-ins for business licensing questions, Administrative Services staff will primarily handle the limited number of questions.
Accordingly, it is recommended that the City Council authorize the reorganization and eliminate the Accounting Technician II position.
Senior Management Analyst
Currently, the City's departmental staff draft the scope of work for contracts, Request for Proposals (RFPs), bid packets, and submit it to the City's Senior Management Analyst (SMA), who collaborates with the City Attorney and departmental staff to prepare contracts, RFPs, and bid packets. Additionally, the SMA confirms purchases are made in accordance with the City's established purchasing policy and ensures regulatory compliance.
The City is currently finalizing the decentralization of contract management and other procurement processes in order to improve operational efficiency and deliver superior service to the community, nearing completion of the implementation of web -based procurement solutions platform PlanetBids. The use of PlanetBids will streamline procurement processes, enhancing efficiency and cost-effectiveness in connecting with suppliers. The platform provides the ability to integrate and use templates for various AGENDA ITEM #

contract types, RFPs, etc. approved for use by the City Attorney's Office. Following implementation of PlanetBids, City staff will draft scopes as before, attach them to the appropriate template, and commence the procurement process.
Additionally, the City is integrating a new contract module into the existing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software system, which will enable the direct entry of executed contracts into the City's financial management software. This in turn will facilitate invoice payment by the Finance Department.
All contracts, RFQs, bid packets, and insurance certificates/endorsements will continue to undergo City Attorney review to ensure regulatory compliance.
As a result, the need for a full-time SMA to oversee these processes is eliminated. Staff will, in consultation with the City Attorney, be empowered to manage contracts more efficiently, thereby eliminating the necessity for this position. Accordingly, it is recommended that the City Council authorize the reorganization and eliminate the Senior Management Analyst position.
Street Maintenance Worker 11
Historically, the City has contracted out services for streets maintenance services, including but not limited to landscape maintenance, crack sealing, paving, striping, street sign replacement, debris removal, graffiti removal, accident response, and sand accumulation mitigation.
Currently, the City employs four (4) Street Maintenance Worker Its (SMWs) who follow up on submitted work orders. They also assist with roadway cleanup during weather - related emergencies. In reviewing the amount of work performed by City SMWs over the past year (May of 2023, to May of 2024), a total of 112 worker orders were submitted and assigned to the Streets Maintenance Division. This is an average of 2.15 work orders per week. This volume of work orders is not enough work to employ even a single full-time SMW at the City.
Staff has been utilizing contract vendors to complete many of the workorders created in the past 12-18 months. To the extent that the City does not respond to a high volume of work orders, this work can be included in the current and future contracts for streets maintenance services.
Accordingly, it is recommended that the City Council authorize the reorganization and eliminate all four Streets Maintenance Worker II positions.

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed reorganization and elimination of positions represent a strategic decision aimed at optimizing operational efficiency and are not the result of fiscal or economic reasons. It is, however, important to analyze the fiscal implications of these proposed changes. The elimination of the proposed positions will result in salary and benefit savings of approximately $760,000 annually. This reduction in payroll expenses directly contributes to cost containment efforts and aligns with the city's commitment to prudent financial management.
The city plans to utilize new software systems and contracted services to fulfill certain operational needs previously handled by in-house staff. The estimated costs for these contracted services is $250,000. Contracting with specialized service providers often results in additional cost savings through economies of scale, enhanced expertise, and reduced administrative overhead.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the above, it is recommended that the City Council authorize the reorganization and approve the elimination of the following positions: Accounting Technician II, Senior Management Analyst, and four Streets Maintenance Worker II positions.
