She spoke regarding the City's economic revitalization, including land purchases, reformation of the Rancho Mirage design district, and revitalization of The River and the Rancho Las Palmas commercial center. Lastly, Council Member Marker proposed a motion to include an item on the next City Council meeting agenda to consider the commitment to undergo an economic development study with an outside agency.

Mayor Downs noted that Council Member Marker could ask the City Clerk to put an item on the agenda.

Mayor Downs spoke regarding the affordable housing initiative and expressed concern with the Coachella Valley Water District's (CVWD) uncooperative actions. He shared that the City Council had approved four projects on City-owned lands that would result in roughly 700 affordable housing units , meeting 65% of the required state mandate of the current housing element of the City's general plan.

He added that an authorized affordable housing project on the site of the former Rancho Mirage Mobile Home Park, specifically aimed at occupancy by Veterans, bordered the CVWD-controlled Whitewater wash. He noted that the developed properties on the north and south sides of the proposed project were required to have 50-foot buffer zones between the buildings and the end of the wash, but CVWD intended to impose a 300 -foot buffer zone on the parcel for the proposed affordable housing development. He added that the buffer zone requirement would negatively impact the original development plan. Mayor Downs reported that on June 121h, he and Mayor Pro Tern Weill, along with Ryan Stendell, Assistant City Manager, and Majna Dukie, Director of Development Services, met with two CVWD general managers and two CVWD board members to discuss the importance of the affordable housing project and the buffer zone requirement. He shared that the primary objective was DRAFT 09/05/2024 Regular City Council Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 7

1-4
to request a buffer zone lesser than the 300-feet requirement and that CVWD responded that they would review the request and follow up by the end of July. He explained that CVWD failed to respond to the request until Isaiah Hagerman, City Manager, contacted CVWD and was advised that no accommodation would be provided. He stressed the City was not happy with the result of the City's meeting with CVWD on this issue.

Council Member Mallotto noted the importance and great demand for affordable housing in Rancho Mirage. She mentioned that residents 55 and older had a waiting list of over 4,500 requests for new housing units; the waiting list was double that for non age-restricted units. She spoke regarding the cooperation between the nine (9) neighboring cities in the Coachella Valley. Lastly, she expressed hope for additional discussions with the region's various organizations to fulfill the state mandate for affordable housing.

Mayor Pro Tern Weill noted that the development negatively impacted by the CVWD buffer zone requirement was designed for Veterans and their families. He added that it was a shame that the project was in jeopardy due to an impractical application.

DATE: September 19, 2024
SUBJECT: Implementation of CVAG's Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Inflation Adjustment for Calendar Year 2025 as Required by CVAG

SPECIFIC REQUEST OR RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-(Next in Order), Implementing the Coachella Valley Association of Government's (CVAG) Inflation Adjustment for the Transportation Unified Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Collected by the City of Rancho Mirage as Required by CVAG for Calendar Year 2025.

JUSTIFICATION OR INFORMATION
Background
As a Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) Member Agency, the City participated in the preparation of the 1987 Coachella Valley Area Transportation Mitigation Fee Act. This resulted in the City's adoption and implementation of CVAG's model TUMF ordinance as Rancho Mirage Municipal Code Chapter 3.40. TUMF, short for Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee, is a one-time fee charged on all new development occurring within the CVAG region to cover the "fair share" cost of regional transportation projects and improvements deemed necessary to serve growth. The program relies on local agencies (e.g ., cities and unincorporated communities) to collect TUMF as development occurs. The City collects and remits TUMF fees as part of the Building permit process as required by CVAG.

In 2018, CVAG commissioned Michael Baker International, Inc. to prepare an updated TUMF study entitled Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) 2018 Fee Schedule Update, Nexus Study Report, to establish updated TUMF levels and program revenue collection targets. The CVAG Executive Committee approved the study on April 30, 2018 by unanimous vote. Following CVAG's approval of the study, the City implemented the 2018 Nexus Study and the updated TUMF Fee Schedule. The 2018 Nexus Study recommended an inflationary adjustment to TUMF by the increase in the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario Consumer Price Index (CPI). CVAG has applied regular fee increases since the initial 2018 approval based on CPI.

AGENDA ITEM#

DATE: September 19, 2024
TUMF Inflation Adjustment
JUSTIFICATION OR INFORMATION CONTINUED:

Page 2 of 2 ends

CVAG adopted the subject TUMF inflation adjustment in April of 2024 and provided the City the Revised Fee Schedule for TUMF, effective January 1, 2025, as attached to the Resolution.

CVAG has requested the City update the TUMF collected by the City. Adoption of the attached Resolution will update the TUMF, effective as of January 1, 2025, resulting in an increase in the TUMF consistent with the CPI increase, as authorized in the 2018 Nexus Study .

Adoption of the Resolution is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and State CEQA Guidelines pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the fee update will have a significant effect on the environment because the action simply modifies existing impact fees in accordance with a CPI escalator contemplated in the applicable nexus study, and it can be seen with certainty that there will not be a physical change in the environment. Further, the adoption of this Resolution modifies a government funding mechanism which is not a physical change in the environmental and therefore, is not a project under CEQA. (14 Cal. Code of Regulations Section 15378(b)(4).) Moreover, this Resolution is adopted for the purpose of modifying fees, and is not intended to approve a capital project for which separate review under CEQA would be required at the time any such project is considered for approval by the City. (14 Cal. Code of Regulations Section 15273(a).)

STAFF REPORT
TO: Mayor and City Council DATE: September 19, 2024
FROM: Brian Kephart, Emergency Manager
SUBJECT: Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Update

SPECIFIC REQUEST OR RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt resolution 2024-(Next-in-Order), adopting a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP).

JUSTIFICATION OR INFORMATION
The City of Rancho Mirage is required to update its Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) every five (5) years to remain eligible for project grants under FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Assistance programs, including the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities Program, and Flood Mitigation Assistance Program.

In June of 2022, the City of Rancho Mirage committed to participating in the Riverside County, Operational Area, Multi -Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJLHMP) Update. The MJLHMP involves the County adopting a countywide plan, with annexes incorporated from the various participating agencies, at some point thereafter. The City then obtains an Approval Pending Adoption from FEMA for its LHMP annex, which must then be adopted by the City Council.

The adoption of the City's LHMP is the final step required by FEMA. Since the City's LHMP is an annex to the County MJLHMP, the City assumes the County's MJLHMP's effective date of April 18, 2023 , and expiration date of April 18, 2028.

Additionally, the State of California passed Assembly Bill 2140 which allows California cities to be considered for additional state cost-share on eligible Public Assistance projects by adopting their current, FE MA-approved local hazard mitigation plan into the Safety Element of the General Plan. Staff will bring that request to a future City Council meeting.

Dear Brian MacGavin:

The County of Riverside Operational Area Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan 2023 has been amended to include the Cities of Riverside and Rancho Mirage as official planning participants. These jurisdictions must submit their adoption resolution to FEMA in order to be considered fully approved.

FEMA's approval of the County of Riverside Operational Area Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan 2023 remains for a period of five years from the original approval date of April 18, 2023 for all approved participants. An updated list of the status of current participating jurisdictions is enclosed with this letter.

Prior to April 18, 2028, Riverside County and all participating jurisdictions are required to review and revise the plan to reflect changes in development, progress in local mitigation efforts, and changes in priorities, and resubmit it for approval in order to continue to be eligible for mitigation project grant funding .

The continued approval of this plan ensures Riverside County and all participating jurisdictions' continued e li gibi lity for project grants under FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Assistance programs, including the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities Program, and Flood Mitigation Assistance Program. All requests for funding, however, will be evaluated individually according to the specific eligibility, and other requirements of the particular program under which applications are submitted.

If you have any questions regarding the planning or review processes, please contact the FEMA Region 9 Hazard Mitigation Planning Team at [email protected] .

Sincerely,

XING LIU

Plan Adoption/Resolution
The City of Rancho Mirage will submit plans to the Riverside County Emergency Management Department (EMO) who will forward to CalOES and FEMA for review. In addition, we will wait to receive an "Approval Pending Adoption" before taking the plan to our local governing body for adoption .

Upon approval, the City of Rancho Mirage will insert the signed resolution .

Executive Summary
The purpose of this Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) is to identify the County's hazards, review and assess past disaster occurrences, estimate the probability of future occurrences and set goals to mitigate potential risks to reduce or eliminate long -term risk to people and property from natural and man-made hazards.

The Plan was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 to achieve eligibility and potentially secure mitigation funding through Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Mitigation Assistance, Pre-Disaster Mitigation, and Hazard Mitigation Grant Programs .

The City of Rancho Mirage's continual efforts to maintain a disaster-mitigation strategy is on-going. Our goal is to develop and maintain an all-inclusive plan to include all jurisdictions, special districts, businesses and community organizations rather than them writing their own plan to promote consistency, continuity and unification.

The City 's planning process followed a methodology presented by FEMA and CalOES which included conducting meetings with the Operational Area Planning Committee (OAPC) coordinated by the Riverside County Emergency Management Department comprised of participating Federal, State and local jurisdictions agencies, special districts, school districts, non-profit communities, universities, businesses, tribes and general public .

The plan identifies vulnerabilities, provides recommendations for prioritized mitigation actions, evaluates resources and identifies mitigation shortcomings, provides future mitigation planning and maintenance of existing plan.

The plan will be implemented upon FEMA approval.

LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN

1.2 Geography And Climate Description
The City of Rancho Mirage is located in Riverside County in the Coachella Valley of California . Rancho Mirage is approximately 25 .7 square miles in area and is 70 miles east of the County seat, the City of Riverside . Riverside County covers 7,208 square miles (approximately the same size as the state of New Jersey) and stretches from Orange County to the Colorado River which forms the border with the state of Arizona . Adjacent counties include San Bernardino County to the north, La Paz County Arizona to the east, Imperial and San Diego counties to the south and Orange County to the west.

Rancho Mirage is located within the Coachella Valley, which extends for approximately 45 miles (72 km) in Riverside County southeast from the San Bernardino Mountains to the saltwater Salton Sea, the largest , lake in California . The Valley is approximately 15 miles (24 km) wide along most of its length, bounded on the west by the San Jacinto Mountains, the south by the Santa Rosa Mountains and on the north and east by the Little San Bernardino Mountains. These mountains peak at around 11,000 feet (3,400 m) and tend to average between three to five thousand feet. This effectively blocks the marine layer familiar to most other Southern Californian areas . The Salton Sea is located to the southeast of the Coachella Valley with a surface elevation of 227 feet below sea level.

Regional geomorphology is largely due to the San Andreas Fault which enters the valley at the Chocolate Mountains and Salton Sea in the southeast corner and then follows the centerline of the Little San Bernardino Mountains on the north side of the Coachella Valley. The fault is easily visible along its northern length as a strip of intermittent green oasis against an otherwise bare mountain .

Climate
Geographically, the County is mostly desert in the central and eastern portions of the county which includes the Coachella Valley and the City of Rancho Mirage. The Coachella Valley is considered the northwestern extension of the Sonoran Desert to the southeast. In the summer months daytime temperatures range from 104 °F (40 °C) to 118 °F (48 °C) and nighttime lows from 77 °F (25 °C) to 86 °F (30 °C). During winter, the daytime temperatures range from 70 °F (21 °C) to 90 °F (32 °C) and corresponding nights range from 46 °F (8 °C) to 68 °F (20 °C) making it a popular winter resort destination . Due to its warm year-round climate, the region is well known for the production of tropical fruits such as mangoes , figs and dates . According to the Coachella Valley Water District, average annual rainfall is approximately three inches . The mountains that flank the west and south sides of the Valley are often covered in snow during the winter months, and it is not uncommon for snow levels to dip to the 2000 foot elevation.

Transportation
The primary arterial to the Coachella Valley is Interstate 10, which runs east-west; while State Route 111 runs for about 30 miles along the southwestern rim of the valley and serves as the main arterial highway between almost all Coachella Valley cities . In 2020, interchange at Interstate 10 at Bob Hope Drive through Rancho Mirage had approximately 101,000 AADT (Annual Average Daily Traffic in vehicles per day (vpd) (https ://dot.ca .gov/-/media/dot-media/programs/traffic-operations/documents/census/aadU2020-traffic volumes.xlsx). In comparison, Highway 111 west of Magnesia Falls in front of Rancho Las Palmas Shopping center had 40,415 ADT when traffic counts were taken on April 5, 2017; with peak traffic volumes occurring between noon and 3:30PM . About 25 miles southeast, a four-lane expressway, State Highway 86S opened in the early 1990s as a "special" bypass (hence the "S" designation) of two -lane Highway 86 and connects with Imperial and San Diego counties.

The rail right-of-way that parallels the 1-10 freeway between San Bernardino and Indio is operated by the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR). In 2006, 42 trains per day passed through the City of Rancho Mirage (15,330 per year). There are no surface roads crossing the railroad tracks within the City. One older two lane bridge (Ramon Road) and one newly constructed six lane bridge (Bob Hope Drive) crosses the railroad and Interstate 10 .

Public transportation in the Valley, including Rancho Mirage, is provided by the Sunline Transit Agency based in Thousand Palms, which was among the country's first transit agencies to totally convert their fleet to alternate fuel vehicles, including full -sized buses powered by fuel cells .

Aviation in the area is served by the Palm Springs International Airport in Palm Springs, Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport in Thermal and Bermuda Dunes Municipal Airport in Bermuda Dunes. Palm Springs International airport (PSP) is currently served by ten airlines. In 2022 , there were a total of 2,660,629 total passengers embarking/disembarking at PSP; with an indicated 46.5% increase over the previous year . In 6 3-18

CITY OF RANCHO MIRAGE -ANNEX

LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
2022, there was direct service to/from PSP with respect to 30 different destinations: United States: Los Angeles, Phoenix, Las Vegas, San Jose, Oakland, San Francisco, Sacramento, Santa Rosa, Austin Houston, Dallas, Denver, Salt Lake City, Boise, Redmond, Eugene, Portland, Seattle, Everett, Bellingham, Minneapolis, Des Moines, Chicago, Atlanta, New York, and in Canada: Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, and Toronto .

1.3 Brief History
The City of Rancho Mirage is a well-known desert resort and residential community in the Coachella Valley .

With major regional medical facilities, the Valley's most vibrant and attractive commercial centers, and world-class resort hotels; Rancho Mirage is a desirable destination for res idents and visitors alike.

The City has taken shape in a beautiful valley setting surrounded by dramatic views of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains to the south and west and the Little San Bernardino Mountains to the north. Lushly landscaped golf course communities and broad arterial streets on the Coachella Valley floor have created a "garden in the desert". This contrast of unbridled geography and manicured environments provide Rancho Mirage with its unique sense of place.

The City of Rancho Mirage was incorporated on August 3, 1973, bringing autonomy to residents and businesses over land use and development on approximately 15.6 square miles of land. Since City incorporation, expansion has occurred without sacrificing the quality of life that originally attracted residents and the City now comprises approximately 16,448 acres or 25.7 square miles. Its Sphere of Influence (SOI) -County managed lands over which the City has an advisory role -total another 957 acres or 1.49 square miles. The City of Rancho Mirage has a Council/Manager form of government and became a Charter City in 1997 .

From the beginning, Rancho Mirage was primarily a residential community . Successive decades brought new assets and resources. In the 1960s, commercial businesses expanded and "Restaurant Row" developed. The 1970s saw the introduction of the Eisenhower Medical Center as well as five of the City's country clubs. Residential construction boomed in the 1970s and 1980s and that period also saw the addition of the Valley's world class destination resorts -Marriott's Rancho Las Palmas (now Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa), the Westin Mission Hills and The Ritz Carlton Rancho Mirage.

Development in past years has focused primarily in the North half of the City North of Frank Sinatra Drive.

From the 1990s to present day, the City has added entertainment and shopping venues such as The River (a 250,000 square foot mixed use entertainment/commercial development) and Monterey Marketplace (a 400,000 square foot "big-box" retail center); worked with the Annenberg Trust to transform the Sunnylands Estate and Visitors Center into a world class educational/conference facility, and completed the state-of the-art Rancho Mirage Public Library. On March 25, 2018, the observatory addon was completed and officially opened at the Rancho Mirage Library resulting in renaming of the facility to the Rancho Mirage Library and Observatory . In addition, the completion of the Section 19 Specific Plan will permit a large scale mixed use development adjacent to the 16 story Agua Caliente Casino Resort and proposed multi-modal transit station .

In 2015, the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians ("Tribe") adopted a Specific Plan for Section 24 along with an EIS and Tentative Map for the development of a 1,200 unit age restricted (55+) community. In 2017, the developer, Pulte homes, requested annexation of the 320 acre site to the City of Rancho Mirage, and subsequently, the City adopted the "Tribe adopted" Section 24 Specific Plan, Tract Map and EIS/EIR.

The annexation was completed in May 2017 with construction commencing shortly thereafter. Since 2017, the development now, called "De l Webb at Rancho Mirage," has built out over 900 residential units or over 86% of the potential build out.

In 2021 the City of Rancho Mirage tentatively approved the development of up to 1,932 residential and residential branded units in Section 31 located on 618 acres of land in the geographic core of Rancho Mirage between Gerald Ford Drive, Frank Sinatra Drive, Monterey Avenue, and Bobe Hope Drive .

Approximately 516 of the residential units have been identified and subdivided and the developer has been actively grading the site . The official name for the development was announced as "Cotino, a Storyliving by Disney Community ."

1.4 Economy Description
Employment
In 2016, Employment in Rancho Mirage was dominated by the Education/Health (35.4%) and Leisure/Hospitality (24 .2%) sectors according to the California Employment Development Department. Retail sales (inflation adjusted) in the City of Rancho Mirage decreased by 31 % between the years 2006-2010 reflecting the downturn in the economy but rebounded by 14 .3% between 2011 and 2015 .

Per capita assessed valuation in Rancho Mirage ranks second in the Coachella Valley and is reflective of the City's image as a high -end resort and residential community. The highly valued country clubs, gated communities and other residential properties along with four first-class resort hotel properties (plus commercial) provide the basis for the City's assessed valuation in excess of 9.2 billion (2020/21 Riverside County Assessor Annual Report). Upon incorporation in 1973, the City chose not to collect a City property tax . The only property tax revenues received by the City's general fund are for properties annexed in recent years and those within Community Facilities Districts. As a result, the City is less dependent upon property based taxes as a significant source of general fund revenue compared to most cities in California.

In contrast to the general fund, however, the City 's former Redevelopment Agency derived a significant source of revenue from any increase in assessed valuation within one of the two Redevelopment project areas . Tax increment financing was used to implement a wide variety of Redevelopment Agency Activities.

However, the passage of Assembly Bills AB1x26/27 provided for the dissolution of Redevelopment Agencies effective October 1, 2011 and permitted communities to continue development only if a payment was "voluntarily" paid to the State.

The average household income in Rancho Mirage is $138,993 and is second highest in the Coachella Valley. The high income level provides the purchasing power for the City's highly valued properties and for local goods and services .

Retail -Although Rancho Mirage is primarily a residential community, a significant amount of retail sales tax is generated by local businesses . The City ranks second in per capita retail sales in the Coachella Valley . In the past, restaurants and hotels have provided the majority of sales taxes to the City . The top twenty tax generators in the City are as follows :

Albertsons Hobbv Lobbv
Audi Leasing Bentley Leasing Home Depot
Cart Mart JP Moroan Chase Bank
Cheesecake Factorv Kristine Schultz Interior Desion
Clarks Nutrition Center Las Casuelas Nuevas
CVS Pharmacv Mistvs Consiqnments

Financial Services Vehicle Trust Pirch
Gelson's Markets Scandinavian Desiqns
Porsche Leasinq Yard House
Walqreens
Figure 1-2 Top 25 Tax Generators (FY 20-21)
Resort Hotels -Three resort hotels (a total of seven hotels/motels with 1,842 rooms) are major features of the social, cultural and recreational setting in Rancho Mirage . Not surprisingly , hotels also provide the City with its largest revenue source, Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT). Over eight million dollars in TOT was collected in FY 2015 -2016 . The occupancy rates for the Rancho Mirage hotels averaged 65 .6% for Calendar Year 2016 compared to 61 % for the entire Valley during the same period. In addition to the direct revenue generated by bed taxes , tourists also spend a considerable amount in local restaurants and shops .

1.5 Population And Housing
According to the 2010 U .S. Census, the population of the City of Rancho Mirage was 17,218 compared with 13,249 in the 2000 Census ; an increase in population of 3,969. This 30% increase in population was lower than the Riverside County growth rate of 41 .7% within the same time frame . As of January 1, 2017 , the California State Department of Finance estimated the population in Rancho Mirage to be 18,295; an increase of 1 .1 % from the previous year.

The previously adopted LHMP of 2005 estimated that the population in Rancho Mirage was 14,950. When this figure is compared to the 2010 Census, the City grew by 15% during the previous LHMP period . For comparative purposes, since the 2010 Census, the City has grown 6 .25% over the seven year period.

According to the California Department of Finance the estimated population of Rancho Mirage was 16,804 as of January 1, 2022, however when compared to the population estimates from January 1, 2020, it was estimated that the population was 18,611, which is a population loss of about 10%.

When compared to the US Census, the population estimate was 17 ,303 as of July 1, 2021, which equals about a 2% increase since April 1, 2020 . It is unclear why the DOF change is substantially different from the US Census change , however it is believed that the US Census figure is the more reasonable figure.

Staff estimates the population to be closer to 18,799 based on the ACFR Report for 2020-21 . 9 3-21

Section 2.0 Planning Process

2.1 Local Planning Process

2.1.1 City LHMP Planning
The City of Rancho Mirage utilized a multi-step planning, update and review process. The initial review of the 2017 plan started through an email blast to various City Departments . The email explained the need for the update and requested that departments review and update information as needed . An internal City planning team was created, the planning team was comprised of:
• Isaiah Hagerman, City Manager
• Ben Torres, Planning Manager
• Majna Dukie, Development Services Director
• Ryan Stendell, Public Works Director
• Jeff Benson, Engineering Technician II
• Brian Kephart, Emergency Services Coordinator
The LHMP Planning team met to discuss hazards, mitigation actions, development trends and demographic information . Once the plan had been updated the draft was sent for review by the Riverside County Emergency Management Department.

2.1 .2 Emergency Preparedness Committee
The City has an Emergency Preparedness Committee comprised of City staff, and an Emergency Preparedness Commission that consists of private citizens appointed by the City Council. The Emergency Preparedness Committee is led by the Emergency Services Coordinator Brian Kephart and is represented by City Department and Division leaders .

The Committee meets on an as-needed basis. All members of the Committee have been issued radios to be used in the event of an emergency and a monthly radio-check is conducted .

2.1.3 Emergency Preparedness Commission
One of the several Commissions that aid the City of Rancho Mirage is the Emergency Preparedness Commission. It consists of citizen volunteers who provide recommendations to the City in the area of emergency preparedness .

The Commission consists of 5 members who are appointed by the City Council and meets the fourth Tuesday of each month at 2 :30 p.m ., unless adjourned . The Commission was established in 1998 to effectively deal with the possibility of man-made and natural emergencies such as major earthquakes , floods, extended power outages, terrorism, hazardous material and other problems. The mission of the Emergency Preparedness Commission is to motivate every person, business, and organization in the City of Rancho Mirage to take actions that reduce future disaster damages and enhance disaster preparedness, response, and recovery . Representatives of Home Owner Associations, gated communities and neighborhoods are especially encouraged to attend the Commission meetings . Current appointed members, as of June 2022, were as follows :
• Robert Brown
• Mary Levine
• Kirk Dandridge
• Mary Lou Suter
• David Richardson
Additionally, non -voting members are appointed to the Commission who serve as Technical Advisors . The appointed technical advisors, as of June 2022, were as follows :
• Edward Thomas
• Katie Stice
For well over a decade the Commission has sponsored the City's annual Town Hall Forum which is a public event at the City's Library focusing on emergency preparedness; primarily the earthquake risk we face in 10 3-22

CITY OF RANCHO MIRAGE -ANNEX

LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
the Coachella Valley. Beginning in 2016, the Commission started holding two Town Hall Forums; the most recent Town Hall Forums were held in March 2021 in a virtual format, in lieu of in-person, due to COVID- 19 restrictions. The forum was titled "Listen+Learn: More Secrets to Survive the Big One" that provided participants with current information regarding local resources to assist with the development of plans to prepare for, respond to, and recover from a major disaster, such as an earthquake.

In 2009 the Commission established its HOA (Homeowners' Association) radio program in which participating HOAs can communicate with the City and Commission members via radio in the event of a disaster. A monthly radio test is conducted the first Tuesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. As of 2022 there were approximately 97 radios on the roll call roster with response rates ranging from 27 to 46 .

2.1.4 City Radio Room and Radio Training
The City has one fully -functional Radio Room located at the Rancho Mirage Public Library and Observatory which serves as the City's Primary Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The radio room is fully functional and includes numerous hand-held radios for field personnel, satellite phone(s), one suitcase radio to communicate with the County Disaster Net Radio System, one HAM radio and one base station radio with six frequencies . All radios are operational, and training has been provided to staff. Two additional handheld radios were provided to the Sheriff's Lieutenant and Fire Division Chief assigned to Rancho Mirage . A satellite phone has also been provided to the Fire Division Chief. The radios are identical to the 16 radios City staff keeps at home. The City conducts a quarterly radio check and all members have had training in the use of said radios.

2.1.5 City Outreach -Emergency Preparedness Web Site

2.1. 7 Community Emergency Response Training (CERT)
The City has requested that all City employees attend CERT training in order to assist emergency services and City residents in the event of a disaster. As of 2017, approximately 75% of City employees have received CERT training. Every couple of years, staff will receive a refresher course . The majority of City staff has also been trained in CPR and the use of defibrillators. In 2022 the City entered into a contract with Cintas to lease and maintain 4 AEDs at City Hall, 1 AED at the City Yard, and 1 AED at the Amphitheatre, for a period of 3 years. Cintas is responsible for checking the AEDs each month to ensure they are functional and ready to use if needed .

2.1.8 Great California Shake Out Exercise
Rancho Mirage City staff participates in this annual event which is held each October. City staff at City Hall and the City Library participate in The Great California Shake Out exercise by practicing the Drop, Cover and Hold On earthquake drill. In 2022, approximately 9.6 million Californians practiced Drop, Cover, and Hold On to practice how they will protect themselves during earthquakes, and increased their overall preparedness. Local government represented just over 1 million of those total participants. The City of Rancho Mirage will continue to participate in this yearly exercise.

2.2 Participation In Regional (Operation Area) Planning Process The LHMP was incorporated into the 2005 Safety Element of the General Plan and again with the 2012, and 2017 LHMP Update . The Safety Element includes a discussion on seismic hazards in the Rancho Mirage area as well as flood hazards, fire ha zards, and hazardous waste risks.

Many of the activities conducted by the City were fed into the planning process for the previous (2005 , 2012, and 2017) Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJLHMP). In addition, the City enforces the requirements of the California Environmental Qualities Act (CEQA) which since 1988 has required mitigation for identified natural hazards.
12 3-24

3.2.1 Flood Upda t es
January/February 2019 Storms
The City of Rancho Mirage experienced storm events between January and February 2019 caused by an atmospheric river system that brought high winds, substantial precipitation and flooding across California.

These storm events washed out 100 feet of the eastbound number 2 lane along Frank Sinatra Drive, east of Highway 111, including a portion of the Frank Sinatra Drive low water crossing over the Whitewater River Channel. The storm also severely damaged a portion of Country Club Drive's eastbound shoulder and 14 3-26

embankment, just east of its low water crossing over the Whitewater River Channel. The City conducted emergency opening procedures which included sawcut and removal of damaged asphalt pavement and berm, import of fill dirt, construction of new asphalt paving, concrete and toe cover, PCC down swale, and the repair of rip-rap covered areas including gunite grouting . The projects were needed in order to restore and protect the integrity of the roadways from further storm events and maintain traffic flow along both streets.

Flooding events caused the closure of the Frank Sinatra Drive roadway, resulting in total costs to the City of $99,481 for closure, clean-up, and emergency repairs . The closure of the Country Club Drive roadway resulted in total costs to the City of $130,067 for closure, clean-up, emergency repairs, and permanent restoration. Funds for both projects were reimbursed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in conjunction with the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CalOES), and by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), in conjunction with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).

3.2.2 Earthquake Updates
July 4 and 6, 2019 -Ridgecrest Earthquake Sequence
On July 4, 2019, a M6.4 earthquake struck in Ridgecrest, California followed by a M7 .1 on July 6, 2019.

While Ridgecrest is located approximately 142 miles North Northwest of Rancho Mirage, the shaking could be felt with reported magnitude intensities ranging from 3 to 4 on the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale. No injuries or damages were reported however the Emergency HOA Radio channel was briefly activated for situational readiness.

New Fault Located:

In early 2017, Seismologists uncovered a newly identified fault line that was estimated to be capable of unleashing an M7.4 earthquake in the region , which other researchers say is already long overdue along the southern end of the San Andreas Fault.

The newly identified fault line is allegedly capable of a powerful earthquake that would impact 20 million residents of Los Angeles and San Diego . The fault runs underwater from San Diego Bay to Seal Beach in Orange County and on land through the Los Angeles basin .

In the study , the newly identified fault line is primarily offshore but is never more than four miles from the San Diego, Orange County, and Los Angeles County coastline (Valerie Sahakian, formerly of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and now with the U.S . Geological Survey). 17 3-29

CITY OF RANCHO MIRAGE -ANNEX

LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
Even an M5 to M6 event could still have a major impact on those regions, which are some of the most densely populated in California . The fault, officially known as the Newport-Inglewood/Rose Canyon fault zone, caused a 6.4-magnitude quake in Long Beach , Calif. that killed 115 people in 1933. About 3 million people lived in the entire Los Angeles metro area at that time. Today , that number is 13 million .

The Newport-Inglewood and Rose Canyon faults were considered separate system, but the study found they are actually one continuous fault system .

3.3 Blackout/Significant Power Outage
There was a power failure incident on September 8, 2011, that affected about 150,000 customers in the Imperial Irrigation District (IID) territory . The incident was widespread and affected customers in all of southeastern California from the Arizona border to San Diego including much of the Coachella Valley. The power outage affected roughly 5 million people during late afternoon 110 degree heat. The outage was likely caused by an employee removing a piece of monitoring equipment that was causing problems at a power substation in southwest Arizona, officials said. The power loss should have been limited to the Yuma, Ariz ., area . The power company , Arizona Public Service, was investigating why the outage wasn't contained .

Only a small undeveloped portion of the City of Rancho Mirage is located within IID territory so the City was largely unaffected during this particular outage .

No significant or unplanned outages have occurred during this planning period (2018-2022).

3.4 Civil Unrest
Civil Unrest is generally associated with controversial political, judicial, and/or economic issues and events .

On January 30, 2011, the Rancho Las Palmas resort hosted a conference conducted by the Koch brothers which resulted in more than 1,000 people picketing the event. The police department was called to help monitor the protesters to ensure civil obedience.

The rally began at 1 p.m. at The River shopping center across Bob Hope Drive from the Rancho Las Palmas Resort and Spa where the event was being held . About two-dozen police officers in riot gear lined up across the street to keep the protesters away from the gated entrance of the upscale resort . Police arrested 25 activists who were led away and cited for trespassing .

Also , the Westboro Baptist Church stated their intent to picket Betty Ford's funeral in July 2011 which called for heightened security measures to be into place .

While there were some minor demonstrations and walks within the City limits for various causes during this planning period, none of them required law enforcement intervention or activation of any emergency resources to respond to any type of unrest.
o Sunnylands
Rancho Mirage is unique as it is home to Sunnylands which is the former home of Ambassador Walter Annenberg and his wife Leonora . The Annenberg Estate frequently hosts renowned conferences and dignitaries such as Supreme Court justices, presidents, kings, queens and celebrity figures . Sunnylands convenes global leaders and prominent experts for retreats and meetings that result in meaningful outcomes . Every retreat or meeting is designed to address and find solutions to real -world problems that promote peace, facilitate international agreement, and better serve the public good .

With the passing of the Annenbergs , the Annenberg Trust has re-purposed the Estate , constructed the Sunnylands Visitors Center, and continues the philanthropic nature of the property and the Trust. The Visitors Center and Estate opened to the public in 2012, and the property will continue to be used in a manner consistent with the way it has been used in the past. Large scale, high profile events that involve dignitaries will occur from time-to-time, but will temporarily be closed to the public during these events which require heightened security measures .

Between 2012 and 2017, there were two protests previously discussed in the 2017 LHMP, however there have not been any significant protests revolving around the activities at Sunnylands since 2017. • Porcupine Creek

LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
On February 19, 2020, a fundraiser was held at the golf estate of Oracle founder Larry Ellison for the then President of the United States, Donald Trump . The event drew national attention to the City of Rancho Mirage and the Coachella Valley as a whole. In addition to the usual presidential entourage wherever the president goes, a major contingent of local law enforcement was mobilized to provide traffic control and perimeter security to the Secret Service and the President. Several protests and demonstrations occurred in Rancho Mirage along the streets where the President was predicted to route to reach the estate from the Palm Springs International Airport. While the protests and demonstrations were numerous , none of them resulted in any significant incidents worth reporting or requiring an active law enforcement response . Other than some minor allocation of personnel and physical resources in support of the Presidential motorcade , most of the deployed resources were brought in from external agencies such as the Sheriff's Department and the Secret Service and the City incurred little additional expenses .

3.5 Hazardous Materials Incidents
City Staff is not aware of any hazardous materials incidents in the City of Rancho Mirage prior to adoption of the 2005 LHMP . However, one significant event happened in the neighboring jurisdiction of Cathedral City on October 22, 1999 when there was a passenger and freight train collision. A passenger train collided with a freight train and 234 crew and passengers were injured and 18 rail cars were damaged . No such events occurred between 2012 and 2017 either within or adjacent to the City of Rancho Mirage .

On October 1, 2021, at approximately 12:30 PM a train fire was reported just outside the city's jurisdiction on the 1-10 railroad tracks just east of Monterey Avenue. One intermodal railroad car was found with an active fire inside and later found to contain lithium batteries, car batteries, and inert compressed gas cylinders . The fire and hazardous products presented an explosion hazard and additional engines, and water tenders were requested for fire suppression if necessary . A Riverside County Hazardous Material Team made entry into the rail car and determined the fire was smoldering and were able to quickly extinguish . The effected railcar was relocated to the Indio Rail yard and the contents moved into a new rail car .

3.6 Landslides
While the vast majority of Rancho Mirage is within a low susceptibility region for seismically induced rock fall and landslides, there is a developed portion that abuts the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa Mountains to the Southern end of the City that are within a moderate to high susceptibility zone .

Landslide and rock fall potential is highest at the base of the Santa Rosa Mountains just south of Highway 111 . While the lower and less steep portion of the foothill has generally been urbanized, the upper portion of "coves" tucked in the mountain are adjacent to more rugged natural steep terrain with a moderate potential for seismically induced landslide and rock fall hazards . The areas that are subject to the highest potential for hazard are located within the Mountain Reserve area (approximately 8 square miles), are not developable, and are primarily within a Habitat Conservation Easement. The figure below shows the areas of elevated susceptibility .

3.7 Brief Statement Of Unique Hazards
The hazards in the City of Rancho Mirage include the same as much of Riverside County, including earthquakes, flooding and fires . Rancho Mirage is nestled at the base of the Santa Rosa Mountains with limited urbanization in close proximity to the foothills that may be subject to increased wildfire, landslide or mudflow hazards . The Whitewater Wash, Magnesia Falls Storm Drain Channel and other naturally occurring drainage coves may impact certain properties in the event of a significant flash flood. Rancho Mirage also has the potential for transportation related hazards due to both Interstate 10 and the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) being adjacent to the northern City Limit and Sphere of Influence . Finally, Rancho Mirage also has several conference facilities that host world renowned leaders and events from time-to time where heightened security may be warranted .

Rancho Mirage is located in an area subj ect to substantia l seism ic and geo log ical hazards such as ground shak ing, se ismic induced sett lement, seismic induced lands lides, co llapsib le and expansive soils, ground subs idence and w ind-blown sands hazards . These se ism ic and geo logica l hazards can affect the structural integrity of buildings and ut ili ties, and in turn, cause severe property damage and potential loss of li fe .

The City of Rancho Mirage is located where numerous active faults are present. At least two active faults extend within a few mil es of the City Limits; the Bann ing fau lt and the Garnet Hill fau lt north of the City .

Both fau lt lines are capab le of causing damage to the City . Other faults in the region, such as the San Andreas, San Jacinto and San Gorgon io Pass fau lts, also have the potential to produce strong seism ic shak ing in Rancho Mirage . Currently, ground shak ing during an earthquake is the most significant seismic hazard that wi ll impact the City . No portion of the City is located with in an A lquist-Prio lo Zone. (The intent of the AP Zone is to ensure pub li c safety by proh ibit ing the siting of most structures for human occupancy across traces of active fau lts that constitute a potential hazard for structures from surfaces faulting or fau lt creep ).
25 3-37

CITY OF RANCHO MIRAGE-ANNEX

LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
In accordance with the City's General Plan, an effective seismic hazard reduction program includes identification and mapping of geologic and seismic hazards, the enforcement of building and fire codes, and the expedient retrofitting and rehabilitation of weak structures .

Rancho Mirage has experienced several noticeable ground movement incidents (as listed in Section 3.2) but no local damage was reported .

In relation to a seismic event, the City has a low susceptibility to liquefaction. Most of the City is located north of the Whitewater Wash which consists of fine grain sediment, and south of the Wash closer to the Santa Rosa foothill consists of coarse grain sediments not subject to liquefaction.

Similarly, the underlying geology of the City primarily north of the Whitewater Wash has a high susceptibility to seismically induced settlement. The closer to the mountain and in the low lying foothills, the susceptibility decreases to moderate, with some rocky outcrops being least susceptible .

Landslide and rock fall potential is highest at the base of the Santa Rosa Mountains just south of Highway 111. While the lower and less steep portion of the foothill has generally been urbanized, the upper portion of "coves" tucked in the mountain are adjacent to more rugged natural steep terrain with a moderate potential for seismically induced landslide and rock fall hazards. The areas that are subject to the highest potential for hazard are located within the Mountain Reserve area (approximately 8 square miles), are not developable, and are primarily within a Habitat Conservation Easement. 26 3-38

Historical Earthquake Data :

M6.3 December 14, 2012
A large earthquake of magnitude 6.3 (M6.3) struck off the Californian coast around 185 miles southwest of San Diego in the early hours of Friday , December 14, 2012 .

Although the epicenter of the quake was underwater, the quake was not sufficiently large to generate a tsunami and no tsunami alert was issued . The tremor, which occurred at a depth of around six miles, was followed by at least one aftershock of M4.3 but no injuries or damage to property had been reported in Rancho Mirage.

M5.1 March 28, 2014
30 3-42

CITY OF RANCHO MIRAGE -ANNEX

LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
A magnitude-5.1 earthquake struck the Los Angeles area on Friday, March 28, affecting nearby communities and breaking water mains in some neighborhoods . The epicenter was in Orange County, one mile east of La Habra and four miles north of Fullerton. Shortly after the earthquake , nearly two dozen aftershocks occurred followed throughout the weekend followed by hundreds of smaller aftershocks .

Around 70 people were displaced after damage to their homes, products were toppled from supermarket shelves, several water mains broke, and a car was lost due to a rockslide .

The quakes came approximately a week after the March 17th M4.4 tremor that hit near downtown Los Angeles. That temblor originated in the Santa Monica Mountains, northwest of central LA. It shook nearby buildings but did not cause significant damage. None of these events affected the City of rancho Mirage .

September 26, 2016, Salton Sea Swarm
A swarm of seismic activity at the Salton Sea that began mid-September 2016 prompted scientists to warn of an elevated risk for a big San Andreas fault earthquake .

The swarm began just after 4 a.m. on Sept. 26, starting earthquakes three to seven miles deep underneath the Salton Sea. The biggest earthquakes included an M4 .3 and then a pair later that night, followed by another M4 .3 and a M4 .1. There was another burst of activity the following night. It marked only the third time since earthquake sensors had been installed in this area in 1932 that the area had seen such a swarm.

This particular swarm had more earthquakes than events in 2001 and 2009 .

Before the swarm started to fade , more than 200 earthquakes had been recorded . The earthquakes hit in a sparsely populated area, less than four miles from Bombay Beach , population 171, sitting on the edge of the Sonoran Desert. Some people in Rancho Mirage felt the earthquakes but no damage was reported.

San Bernardino, which is on the San Andreas Fault and located about 60 miles west of Rancho Mirage, took the unprecedented step of closing down City Hall for several days over concerns about how the structure would fare in the big quake . Seismologists have been closely tracking the occasional swarms of earthquakes at the south end of the San Andreas fault , which experts consider overdue for a major earthquake, with an M7 .0 or greater . Scientists estimate that the San Andreas faults southernmost stretch has not ruptured since about 1680 -more than 330 years ago . A big earthquake happens on average in this area once every 150 or 200 years , which is why the region is long overdue for a major quake .

June 10, 2016, M5.2
A 5.2-magnitude earthquake occurred about 13 miles from Borrego Springs, a community in the eastern part of San Diego County, just after 1 am PT, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Residents in San Diego, parts of Los Angeles and the Coachella Valley felt shaking . Fortunately, there were no reports of injuries or damage .

After the initial earthquake, about a dozen small aftershocks hit the area, the strongest being a 3 .8- magnitude quake.

Depending on the magnitude and intensity of ground shaking experienced during an earthquake, even modern structures complying with current building codes could be vulnerable to some damage . All improvements, including critical infrastructure, are vulnerable to earthquakes depending on magnitude and duration .

4.4.2 Wildfires
Severity 2, Probability 2, Priority Medium
The risk of wildfire in Rancho Mirage is considered moderate based on the combination of hot dry summers, steep mountain terrain and sparse scrub vegetation . Most of the land within the City includes urbanized land such as golf courses, manicured lawns and street parkways, the northernmost area of the City (generally north of Ramon Road) is moderately susceptible to fire . Rows of Tamarisk trees flank both Interstate 10 and the railroad as a wind break, which are prone to fire. Historically, the fires that start within the tamarisk trees are human caused due to unlawful camping activities . The fires themselves are typically extinguished within a few hours with only minor impacts . Additionally, there are open sections of 31 3-43

CITY OF RANCHO MIRAGE -ANNEX

LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
undeveloped land separating the tamarisk trees from any human occupied structures, therefore providing a defensible zone for fire personnel.

There is a moderate to high risk for wildfires on the steep slopes of the Santa Rosa Mountains where it is more difficult to contain with ground crews. These lands are undeveloped and part of the Bighorn Sheep habitat area . Most of these lands are designated as Hillside Reserve with a Conservation Easement. As an existing mitigation measure, the City General Plan limits hillside development. In areas designated Hillside Reserve (H-R), only one dwelling unit is permitted per 640 acres . Located above the Hillside Reserve zone is Mountain Reserve (M-R) which is primarily Bighorn Sheep habitat within the Mountains Conservancy area . Over 8 square miles of land are located within the City, protecting the hillside from urban development. There is no record of any significant wildfire within Rancho Mirage.

The City of Rancho Mirage contracts for fire service from the Riverside County Fire Department in cooperation with CalFire . CalFire operates an air attack base out of the HemeURyan airport just West of the City . While the steep slopes of the Santa Rosa Mountains pose a challenge to ground fire fighting personnel, the City benefits from a rapid air attack response from the HemeURyan airport, with an estimated flight time of under 15 minutes .

4.4.3 Blackout I Power Failure
Severity 2, Probability 2, Priority Medium
Pursuant to Section 3.3 of this Plan, the last major blackout / power failure occurred in 2011 and it only affected a small portion of the City serviced by the Imperial Irrigation District (IID), with the vast majority of Rancho Mirage serviced by Southern California Edison, whom were unaffected by the outage .

There have been, and will continue to be, localized incidents of power failure due to unplanned maintenance from infrastructure failures, or because of a human caused event, such as a traffic accident into utilities.

These localized power failures can have varying impacts based on the current weather conditions and the resources available to affected households. Rancho Mirage is subject to some of the hottest summer conditions in the United States, and electrical utilities are necessary for the operation of air conditioning systems .

Additionally, some households rely on critical care systems that in turn rely on uninterrupted electrical utility service . Fortunately, both local utilities, Edison and the Imperial Irrigation District, offer special programs and registries to identify themselves to the utilities, which in turn provide special services to those households to help mitigate the effects of a power loss .

4.4.4 Floods
Severity 3, Probability 3, Priority Medium
Heavy rain can lead to problems with storm drainage and create localized flood problems. In localized areas of the City during heavy rainfall events over short durations, temporary ponding may occur on shoulders of certain roadways but the grades of the roads ensure that these events are in very short duration . Primary risk is to bridges and low water crossings over the Whitewater Wash as discussed in other Sections of this Plan .

As shown on Map 8, the northernmost portions of the City (south of Interstate 10) are not located within a flood zone hazard area . The areas north of the Whitewater Wash (within about a mile), some areas south of the Wash located on flatter lands and in the Magnesia Falls Cove area are located within Flood Zone X, which has the potential to have areas capable of producing a 100-year flood at depths less than one foot, areas of 500-year flood and/or drainage areas less than 1 square mile.

Also, located on higher elevations within the City are water reservoir storage tanks . Although these storage reservoirs are constructed to withstand seismic events, during strong ground motion, seiche action may occur within the reservoir. During especially large seismic events, the tanks may become unstable or damaged. These areas are also served by concrete lined drainage channels that help mitigate potential hazards .

As construction occurs within the City our Municipal Code requires the following conditions to be met (Please refer to Riverside County OA MJHMP Section 5.3 .9) Grading & Drainage Plan :

The applicant shall be required to submit a grading and drainage plan prepared by a licensed civil engineer to the City Engineer for plan check and approval. The grading and drainage plan shall be consistent with any and all conditions of approval associated with any applicable subdivision map and any Development Permit entitlements issued for the subject project by the City or any other responsible public agency . The grading and drainage plan shall conform to all city policies, standards and regulations applicable to the project. In addition, if the project involves grading and drainage issues related to Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) facilities, written evidence of the District's approval shall be included with the submittal required by the City of Rancho Mirage.

Storm Water Retention:
34 3-46

CITY OF RANCHO MIRAGE -ANNEX

LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
The grading of the project shall be designed such that all storm water to the level of a 100 year frequency storm; worst case of the 1, 3, 6, or 24 hour duration, shall be retained on site. If the project is less than 1 acre or if it is south of the Whitewater Flood Channel, the grading of the project may be designed for the drainage to be conveyed to an acceptable disposal site as determined by the City Engineer. Surface streets are not considered "an acceptable disposal site" for common "nuisance water" from sprinklers and cleaning.

Therefore, at a minimum , all projects shall make provisions to absorb such "nuisance water" to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. A Hydrology/Hydraulic Report , in accordance with the Riverside County Hydrology Manual, shall be submitted from a Registered Civil Engineer, showing how this storm water is handled.

Dedication of Drainage Easements :

All easements for drainage facilities necessary to accommodate the final approved Grading and Drainage Plan shall be offered for dedication to the appropriate serving agency. Such offer shall be incorporated on the Final Map or as required by the City Engineer.

The Street Maintenance Supervisor maintains a map of the City's local storm drain system, including catch basins and drywall locations . This information is located at the Public Works Yard . The City participates in the NFIP but there are no records of repetitive loss structures . There are no areas of town with storm drain deficiencies.

Flood Historical Data :

In the 2005 LHMP, the City of Rancho Mirage proposed mitigation action and strategy included the "Frank Sinatra Crossing gates". The proposal type was "Flood and mud flow mitigation". In 1993, the City incurred costs of $550,000 and in 1996 incurred costs of $400,000 when "Indian canyon was washed away on both occasions at the Whitewater River Channel. The site in Rancho Mirage at Frank Sinatra required debris clearance on these occasions as well as many other occasions when the road is closed due to water, sand and debris (most winter storms). There is an extreme "loss of life" concern with this area because of the high level and speed of water flowing through the wash and the number of motorists who attempt to drive through the rushing water.

The mitigation goal is directed at the "loss of life" concern . The plan was to install large crossing arms on both sides of the Wash . The arms would be on both sides of the roadway to reduce the ability of a motorist going around the crossing arm and attempting to cross the rushing water. There were proposed warning signals on the street for approaching motorists as well as warning lights on the cross arms themselves (similar to railroad crossing arms). The arms would be capable of being locked in either open or closed positions .

In the 2005 LHMP, funding for the project was not available at the time and the City stated that a future request for Local Hazard Mitigation Grant Funds would be submitted .

Between 2005 and 2012 , several additional flooding events occurred at the Frank Sinatra/Whitewater Wash surface crossing that caused the City to re-think the mitigation strategy . In December 2005 , the City spent approximately $165,000 cleaning debris off the roadway, cleaning out drain pipes, and performing a swift water recovery to save a driver and a dog that attempted to cross the Wash . A similar event happened in December 2010 where the City incurred $100,000 in costs and also involved swift water rescue. In both instances, no lo ss of life occurred but the vehicles were a total loss .

In January and February 2017, flooding events caused the closure of the roadway on three separate occasions resulting in total costs to the City of $10,000 for closure and clean -up :

1. 1/20/17 Closed and reopened 1/21/17 . Expense $2,500 2 . 1/22/17 closure to 1/24/17 . Expense $2,500

3. 2/27/17 to 2/28/17. Expense $2,500
The City of Rancho Mirage experienced storm events between January and February 2019 caused by an atmospheric river system that brought high winds, substantial precipitation, and flooding across California .

Channel. The storm also severely damaged a portion of Country Club Drive's eastbound shoulder and embankment, just east of its low water crossing over the Whitewater River Channel. The City conducted emergency opening procedures which included sawcut and removal of damaged asphalt pavement and berm, import of fill dirt, construction of new asphalt paving , concrete and toe cover, PCC down swale, and the repair of rip-rap covered areas including gunite grouting . The projects were needed in order to restore and protect the integrity of the roadways from further storm events and maintain traffic flow along both streets .

Flooding events caused the closure of the Frank Sinatra Drive roadway, resulting in total costs to the City of $99,481 for closure , clean-up, and emergency repairs . The closure of the Country Club Drive roadway resulted in total costs to the City of $130 ,067 for closure, clean-up, emergency repairs, and permanent restoration . Funds for both projects were reimbursed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in conjunction with the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CalOES), and by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), in conjunction with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).

Based on the historical data, most improvements and critical infrastructure are protected from damage associated with flooding with the exception of roadways that cross the Whitewater Wash as Frank Sinatra Drive, Country Club Drive, and Paxton Drive .

4.4.5 Severe Weather -Extreme Heat-Drought
Severity 3, Probability 3, Priority Medium
As discussed , the City is located in the Coachella Valley which is geomorphologically part of the Sonoran Desert where extreme heat is common during the summers . Extreme heat can also unexpectedly hit early or late in the season and affect outdoor activities during prime tourist season to persons not accustomed to such extreme heat.

Record high temperatures have occurred in both July and August. On July 29, 1995 and on August 1993, the temperature hit 123 degrees . Record temperatures above 110 degrees are capable of being produced seven months out of the year · (between April and October), with all other months capable of having an extreme high temperature above 90 degrees.

The City has upgraded the emergency back-up generators at the Library which have the capability of providing a "cooling station" for residents of Rancho Mirage if warranted by extreme heat or loss of power.

In addition, the City has worked with Edison to ensure that planned power outages do not occur during extreme heat events . (Please refer to Riverside County OA MJHMP Section 5.3.13 and Section 5.3.13.1) Recent strong wind events have results in accumulations of mostly sand along public and private properties throughout the City . The winds typically come from the Northwest from the Desert Hot Springs/North Palm Springs region and carry clouds of sand and dust over and onto the City of Rancho Mirage . Certain public roadways and pedestrian walkways have become covered with sand and made it difficult and unsafe for vehicles and pedestrians to cross . The City as well has the various private developments have expended significant resources to remove the sand buildup and restore the safe access to the roadways and walkways.

The response to these concerns the City has invested enhanced street sweeping operations and purchased an in-house street sweeping vehicle.

LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
All of the City of Rancho Mirage is subject to moderate to severe drought conditions as the Coachella Valley it is considered to be an extension of the Sonoran desert. The Coachella Valley Water District is the water purveyor for the City . CVWD will be contacted in the event of a water line break . The City is prohibited from touching the water distribution system for liability reasons .

In an effort to conserve water, the City has adopted the CVWD Model Wate r Efficient Landscape Ordinance (as amended) which establishes a water budget that requires native and drought tolerant species for all new and substantial remodel projects .

In conjunction with the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG), the City developed a "voluntary" Green Building Program which identifies additional water saving techniques above Title 24 requirements (California Building Code). The result also includes an educational tool.

In 2022 the City Council allocated $2.8 million dollars toward the CVWD matching turf rebate program .

4.4.6 Insect Infestation
Severity 2, Probability 1, Priority Low
The City of Rancho Mirage does not have any agricultural land within the City Limits . However, the importation of pests is always a concern . The red imported fire ant as well as pests for citrus and date vegetation remain a State and Valley-wide concern. The City complies with quarantine of certain species of plants and requires certification of landscaping plans by both the Coachella Valley Water District and the County Agriculture Commissioner as mitigation.

The Coachella Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District (CVMVCD) offer a free program to eradicate the pests to residents of the Valley by calling 760-342-8287 or by visiting their web site at www .cvmvcd .org .

Per the CVMVCD website :
"The Coachella Valley is an arid desert that is not naturally suitable for RIFA survival, however multiple daily irrigation of golf courses, lawns, flower beds and other horticultural landscapes, provide moist and relatively cool conditions conducive to red imported fire ant (RIFA) survival. The RIFA program was established to reduce the potential for injury and economic impact to the residents and visitors of the Valley.

Property inspections and control product treatments are conducted at prescribed intervals." Additionally, the City is challenged with the seasonal impact of disease carrying mesquites in and around the City . The CVMVCD is the lead agency for the identification and abatement of disease carrying mesquites and their habitats . The City's Code Compliance Division works clo sely with CVMVCD to abate identified mosquito habitats that cannot be rapidly abated by CVMVCD personnel alone . CVMVCD's comprehensive surveillance program has worked well for years in helping to maintain control of this ongoing concern . Per the CVMVCD website :
"Mosquito control activities are conducted for many reasons. Developing an effective mosquito control program takes time, preparation, and planning. Effective planning requires strategies for addressing both routine operations and activities and emergencies caused by the risks of vector-borne disease .

By their very nature, mosquito control activities impact the environment. Therefore, every practical effort must be made to minimize the negative consequences of mosquito control on the environment. This is the foundation to integrated vector management (IVM). The District implemented a mission to evaluate and enhance our IVM program in 2014 to ensure surveillance and control methods are effective in protecting public health and environmentally sound.

Not all mosquitoes are harmful. Targeting identifies and controls only the mosquitoes that are nuisance and disease vectors . It is more prudent to target larval mosquitoes over adults. That is because the targeted vector is more stationary and easier to target than compared to a flying adult.

The District 's operational effort to control mosquitoes is in large part directed by the distribution of the mosquito population as determined by our surveillance program."

4.4. 7 Dam Failure
Severity 0, Probability 0, Priority Low
37 3-49

CITY OF RANCHO MIRAGE -ANNEX

LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
The City is not subject to dam failure hazard . As identified in the discussion on Flooding, there are above ground water storage reservoirs that may seiche, and in the event of an especially large earthquake could become unstable or fail. Although these reservoirs are built to Code, additional mitigation includes drainage channels to divert water away from urbanized areas to limit the impact. These storage reservoirs are relatively small in size and hazard impact would be more localized within close proximity to the storage reservoir. In a catastrophic event of failure , water would be expected to be channelized and dissipate quickly downstream . (Please refer to Riverside County OA MJHMP Section 5.3.15)

4.4.8 Technological Hazards (Transportation Hazards/Hazardous Materials Release) Severity 2, Probability 2, Priority Low
Along with the potential for death and injuries from large-scale motor vehicle accidents, there is the potential for hazardous material spills or fires as numerous commercial transportation vehicles travel the highways and freeways with various types and quantities of hazardous materials .

The Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) has a main artery of its system traversing the northernmost portion of Rancho Mirage. The line connects Arizona with the Los Angeles area and is a commercial freight corridor.

The line is also shared with the Amtrak passenger system (See discussion on Transportation). It is likely that large quantities and numerous types of hazardous materials are transported through the jurisdiction by rail on a daily basis. The rail line has had accidents, spills and derailments over time but none are known to have happened within the 3-4 mile segment in Rancho Mirage . However, due to the increased rail and vehicle traffic in the City, this type of accident may have a higher likelihood in the future.

Of particular concern are the following structures and land uses within close proximity to the UPRR corridor in the event of a hazardous material spill or derailment:
• Agua Caliente Hotel and Casino (approximately 600' south) • Rancho Mirage High School (approximately ½ mile south) • Undeveloped residential and mixed use lands north of Ramon Road and undeveloped land within Section 19
An emergency preparedness plan addresses a potential hazard event along the UPRR.

Similarly, Interstate 10 is the main arterial connecting Phoenix and Los Angeles . 1-10 through Riverside County is located within CalTrans District 8. The segment through the City of Rancho Mirage carries over 96,000 AADT; up from 83,000 AADT in 2002 (CalTrans). The segment through Rancho Mirage is eight • lanes, divided . A high percentage of vehicles include truck traffic, travel trailers and oversize vehicles posing similar accident hazards as the UPRR. Similar mitigation strategies are proposed and are in place . (Please refer to Riverside County OA MJHMP Section 5.3.22 & Section 5.3 .14)

4.4.9 Pipelines
Severity 1 , Probability 1 , Priority Low
Kinder Morgan operates a 20-inch diameter, high -pressure refined petroleum products pipeline within the UPRR right-of-way that presents a potential hazard to the existing Agua Caliente Hotel and Casino and future development within Section 30 and the City Sphere of Influence. As with the 1-10/UPRR corridor, the potential hazard from rupture of this pipeline is taken into consideration in land use planning decisions .

The Section 19 Specific Plan requires a 500' buffer between the pipeline and sensitive residential land uses. The nearest workers would be about 118' from the pipeline .

Pipeline operators are responsible for the continuous maintenance and monitoring of their pipelines to evaluate and repair, when necessary, corroded sections of pipe that no longer meet the pipeline strength criteria .

4.5 Growth And Development Trends
The Rancho Mirage planning team reviewed and discussed the Development Trends Questionnaire along with the possible changes going forward to 2027 . The LHMP Annex will be considered for adoption by the City Council in 2023, so the 5-year update time will take the information required through 2027.

The housing growth that occurred in Rancho Mirage during the 2012-2017 LHMP cycle primarily occurred in the latter part of the Planning period due to the recession . The City of Rancho Mirage's population and 38 3-50

CITY OF RANCHO MIRAGE -ANNEX

LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
housing growth was significantly slowed due to impacts of the great recession. However, during the current LHMP cycle, as noted in the following table , residential activity grew substantially . During this planning period, the following new residential construction activity occurred :

YEAR NUMBER OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDING

PERMITS ISSUED
2017 24
2018 195
2019 196
2020 199
2021 323
2022 183
Rancho Mirage is primarily "built-out", with several large parcels remaining for infill residential, commercial and office development. The previously annexed Section 24 Specific Plan area, designated for Adult 55+ living commonly referred to as Del Webb at Rancho Mirage , has been building out at a rapid pace since 2018 .

In 2019 the Section 31 Specific Plan was adopted which will allow for the development of up to 1,932 additional residential units and in 2022 major grading had commenced .

Del Webb and Section 31 both reside within liquefaction susceptibility zones and all new construction is built to the latest California Building Code standards as adopted every 3 years. Despite adhering to current Building Code standards, these new developments will inherently expand the City's susceptibility footprint for earthquake damages .

However, the City contracts for Law Enforcement and Fire Services which have established mutual aid agreements in place with neighboring cities.

6.6 Expansion and Improvement of Mitigation Capabilities There are various methods to improve upon current capabilities to mitigate emergencies or disasters. The City of Rancho Mirage has identified the following:

Personnel: A deficiency was identified with regard to staff training for disaster response. In response to that, management implemented mandatory training for all staff to establish a baseline minimum for training.

Additionally, staff have been offered CERT training to help expand their field response capabilities, should the need arise . Lastly, management has directed staff to implement recurrent training in both EOC and disaster exercises, that will be implemented over several years.

Governance: The City continues to ensure that all necessary regulations are implemented or adopted relating to building codes and zoning codes .

Administrative: The City will be allocating additional personnel resources to be able to review and amend plans on an annual basis. This will not only enable to City to be more responsive to future disasters, but help streamline the process of major updates to plans in the future, such as this LHMP .

Technical: The City will be sending dedicated personnel to outside disaster and emergency management training to bolster the City's technical knowledge of mitigation, response, and recovery best practices.

Fiscal : The City has, through years of sound financial planning, been able to build a reserve fund outside of the general fund, of approximately 68 million dollars. Of that 68 million dollars, 4.6 million is presently allocated for disaster recovery.

Outreach: The City is exploring the expansion of public outreach events by enabling Staff to directly participate in community meetings and events in support of the already established volunteer efforts of the Emergency Preparedness Commission.

Section 7.0 Mitigation Strategies

7.1 Goals And Objectives
Our City coordinated with multiple cities and agencies throughout Riverside County in the creation/update of our LHMP Annex . The cooperation and discussions both in regional meetings , community outreach and in internal meetings allowed for both "big picture" and "local jurisdiction" views of mitigation needs and possibilities.

The Part Two, Agency Inventory Worksheet process enabled our City to recognize hazards and their severity and also assisted in determining what mitigation actions are appropriate to lessen or prevent the hazard on a long-term basis.

7.1.1 Strategies and Goals
Specific goals, objectives and policies are listed under Regulatory Mitigation Capabilities. The working groups created a detailed list of Mitigation Strategies and Goals for the primary hazards previously identified. This list was developed so that the City could determine what mitigation strategies, goals, and objectives would be of value for their organization . The City was also given the opportunity to list additional strategies, goals, and objectives specific to either their jurisdiction or their workgroup (i.e. the hospitals, agriculture, etc .). Once this list was compiled, each jurisdiction was asked to determine a priority of the strategies , goals, and objectives based on:
o The hazards identified in their jurisdiction .
o The ability of their organization to perform the strategy, goal, or objective . o The availability of funding
These were prioritized as High (H), Medium (M), Low (L), or N/A.

The priority level for each listed mitigation goal is identified below. No additional mitigation goals or recommendations were identified by the Planning group . 50 3-62

7 .2 Mitigation Actions
The mitigation strategy for the City of Rancho Mirage is based on informed assumptions , recognizing both mitigation challenges and opportunities, with the ultimate mission of creating a disaster resistant and sustainable community for the future. The mitigation strategy°is derived from an in-depth understanding of possible deficiencies between potential vulnerabilities and existing capabilities, with the mitigation objectives in mind . The mitigation strategy builds upon the previous mitigation actions identified by the City of Rancho Mirage 2017 LHMP and was expanded to consider current needs .

7.3 Future Mitigation Actions
Rancho Mirage has many on-going mitigation and outreach programs that help create a more educated populace and disaster-resistant region. The planning team for the City of Rancho Mirage identified and prioritized the following mitigation actions based on the risk assessment. Background information and information on how each action will be implemented and administered, such as ideas for implementation, responsible office, partners, potential funding, estimated cost, and schedule are included. 55 3-67

7.3. 1 Frank Sinatra Drive/Whitewasher Wash -Enhanced Maintenance and Improvements Issue/Background/Benefits
On December 16, 2021, Staff determined that the "All Weather Bridge" was no longer viable financially and the City Council agreed with Staff's recommendation to declare the project "No Build" and eliminate the project completely.

As a replacement project, the City Council directed Staff to :
• Implement an enhanced maintenance program for existing Low Water Crossing (LWC). • Analyze improvements that could be made to the existing LWC including :
o Enhanced maintenance ability .
o Enhanced pedestrian connectivity.
o Vehicular safety

Floods
Responsibility
Public Works
The area along Country Club Drive near The Springs is extremely flat and does not drain well during flood events. Due to runoff from adjacent private properties that were urbanized many years ago coupled with impermeable roadways, the area within the travel way has a tendency to pond during significant rainfall events. The City is proposing a Storm Drain line within the Country Club Drive right-of-way between Sand Dune and Bob Hope Drive, and then within Bob Hope Drive between Country Club Drive to the terminus at the Whitewater River channel. This will significantly reduce the hazard to motorists caused by ponding within the roadway .

The storm drain line was proposed to be funded through the City's Redevelopment Agency (RDA), but as a result of the dissolution of the RDA, the project was placed on-hold indefinitely until a funding source can be identified .

7.3.3 Study: Debris-Flood Control at Bob Hope Drive-Ramon Road Intersection I ssue/Backg round/Benefits
Recent heavy storm activity resulted in substantial flooding and debris flow onto the roadways and intersection of Bob Hope Drive and Ramon Road on the North border of the City of Rancho Mirage. This debris flow was unprecedented and resulted in a full closure of the intersection for almost a whole week while crews worked to clear the roadways. This closure was particularly impactful on the daily commuter traffic as this intersection serves as a critical access point for the 1-10 freeway . This was compounded by multiple similar debris flow closures to the West in Cathedral City and Palm Springs, causing all that traffic to concentrate on the next available 1-10 exit , which happened to be shared with Rancho Mirage and Palm Desert, at Monterey Avenue .

Future heavy rainfall events are expected in the future . Unfortunately , the area of this area is has multiple jurisdictions and stakeholders, including: the City of Rancho Mirage, Riverside County , the Union Pacific Railroad, the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians , and CalTrans. Any project to mitigate the effects of future flooding and debris flow would require complex coordination. Before any project can commence, a thorough study of the issue must be conducted to determine what mitigation measures are possible . 56 3-68

One of the most effective strategies toward mitigating the potential impacts of hazards is the education and outreach of the community . This gives residents and businesses the tools and information needed to go back to their home or business and identify potential vulnerabilities and take the necessary steps to mitigate the potential impacts.

The City of Rancho Mirage will continue to education and outreach programs that emphasize earthquake hazards, such as:
• Appointment of a volunteer-citizen Emergency Preparedness Commission. • Designation of a staff liaison and coordinator of emergency preparedness activities . • Allocation of funds in support programs for the Emergency Preparedness Commission. • Coordination of two (2) or more public in -person events per year, showcasing disaster preparedness and mitigation topics .
• Coordination with the Rancho Mirage Chamber of Commerce to reach local businesses to share and disseminate disaster mitigation information .
• Engage face-to-face with the public at public events, such as the local Farmer's Market, the Sunnyland's Great Shake Out, and the Rancho Mirage Chamber of Commerce Business Expo. • Attend and present to local community groups, such as homeowners' associations .

Unlawful camping by unhoused individuals is a complex challenge for many local jurisdictions . One of the leading concerns with unlawful camping is the increased risk of accidental fires being started from exposed flames or other heat sources . The slopes and hills of the Santa Rosa Mountains and the Tamarisk trees along the railroad are attractive locations for unlawful camping due to their relative privacy .

To help mitigate the risk of wildfire ignition, conduct ongoing surveys, enforcement, and abatement of unlawful camping in these areas on a routine basis.

Drought remains an ongoing challenge throughout the State of California but is particularly challenging in the Coachella Valley due to the particularly hot and dry summer weather for the region. The City of Rancho Mirage has historically allocated funds in support of drought tolerant turf conversion rebates for residents and businesses within the City of Rancho Mirage. This program has been extremely popular, as funds were rapidly allocated to applicants. The Rancho Mirage City Council authorized several rounds of funding and there remains many properties that could still benefit from turf conversion . The City desires to authorize more rebate programs for turf conversion provided adequate funding sources are available .

The City recently completed a seismic retrofitting of its Fire Station No. 50 located on Highway 111 which is immediately adjacent to the San Jacinto Mountains . The project commenced on October 20, 2021, and was accepted on April 7, 2023 . The project cost $2,454,600.00 for the prime contractor not including some additional cost for additional inspections, consultants, design revisions, and other work outside of the contractor's scope.

In November of 2018 the City completed the installation of backup generators at its two fire stations (50 and 69) to allow the facilities to continue operating during a power outage . The total cost for each generator install was $82,183.59 for a total cost of $16,4367 .18 .

The City continues to pursue a comprehensive traffic signal interconnect of all controlled intersections within • the City. This will enhance the ability of first responders to respond to not only everyday emergencies, but also enable managed flow of traffic during significant incidents. There are currently 18 remaining controlled intersections to be integrated into the City's current network fiber network and traffic management system.

The design phase will begin in Fiscal Year 2024 and is estimated to cost $500,000.00, while the construction phase is expected to begin in Fiscal Year 2025 and is estimated to cost approximately $5,000,000.00 .

Because of the environmental, financial, and design concerns, staff evaluated the continued feasibility of the Frank Sinatra All Weather Bridge and recommended that the City Council close out the project.

CAL TRANS was made aware of the City's recommendation . The last project estimate was $58-million dollars, and funded largely by the Highway Bridge Program (HBP), with CVAG and local funds covering the balance. The City was notified in summer of 2021, that HBP is severely underfunded, and the City would have to Advance Fund the project and be reimbursed over time. While this is not the primary reason to close out the project, staff was not in favor of loaning funds for this project.

With the cancellation of the Frank Sinatra Wash All Weather Bridge Project, the City has elected to implement an enhanced maintenance program of the area upstream, downstream, and within the culverts of the bridge so as to maximize the ability for water to flow freely during any measurable water flow event.

Additionally, the City of Rancho Mirage has elected to embark on a design and feasibility study to construct a concrete or steel pedestrian path and barrier along the South side of the Frank Sinatra low water crossing during fiscal years 23-24 and 24-25.

The City continues to offer two Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) courses a year, free to the public, and not just for Rancho Mirage residents. The CERT program has been wildly successful in terms of participation and interest and the City continues to support this program financially 100%.

Upon the direction for the City Manager, Staff was able to obtain near 100% NIMS compliance by providing the following training to all Staff in :
• ICS 100 -Introduction to the Incident Command System (ICS) • ICS 700 -Introduction to the National Incident Management System (NIMS) • SEMS -Introduction to the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS).

Additionally, the City implemented a 2-year training cycle on use of an AED and training in CPR.

Approximately 25% of all Staff will be trained every 6 months to allow for a 2-year re -training cycle .

The Rancho Mirage Emergency Preparedness Commission (EPC) continues to spearhead public education and outreach efforts within the community by regularly presenting to local community groups, 59 3-71

such as homeowners associations and small businesses, to educate them on the hazards that exist in Rancho Mirage, and how they can be better prepared to mitigate the negative effects . The EPC also coordinates at least one formal presentation, open to the public, at the Rancho Mirage Library and Observatory, on a relevant topic in emergency preparedness. Most presentations tend of emphasize earthquake preparedness as it is the highest priority ha zard for the City .

The City intends to install HVAC System Upgrades for added redundancy in the event of mechanical or other partial system failure of the City Hall HVAC system . Since City Hall acts as the hub of operations for the City, it is crucial that staff can comfortably function particularly during the City's seasonably hot months from June through September each year .

11.2.2 Soft Story and Unreinforced Masonry (URM) Structures A soft story or building is a multi-story building in which one or more floors have windows, wide doors, large unobstructed commercial spaces, or other openings in places where a shear wall would normally be required for stability as a matter of earthquake engineering design. A typical soft story building is an apartment building of three or more stories located over a ground level with large openings, such as a parking structure or series of retail businesses with large windows. Soft story buildings are vulnerable to collapse in a moderate to severe earthquake in a phenomenon known as soft story collapse. Soft story failure was responsible for nearly half of all homes that became uninhabitable in California's Loma Prieta Earthquake of 1989 and the Northridge Earthquake of 1994 .

As of 2011 the following privately owned buildings have not undergone the relatively inexpensive seismic retrofit to correct the condition. The severa l multi-family structures on Bird Lane would qualify as a soft story building and were constructed 30 to 40 years ago . Stellar Drive condominiums may also have soft story character.
• Stellar Drive Condominiums 12 units
• Small Mountain Condominiums 70 units
• Collectors Corner (retail) 71-280 Highway 111

11.2.3 High-rise Construction
There are two projects in Rancho Mirage that involve high rise buildings:
70 3-82
Agua Caliente Resort and Casino . The 16 story (173') Agua Caliente Resort and Casino includes 340 rooms, 13,000 square foot conference center, 10,500 square foot spa and fitness center, theater with 2,028 seats, and 71,000 square foot casino . The high rise hotel portion of the facility was completed in 2007.

Although it is assumed that modern building codes apply to this recently constructed building, Tribal land is sovereign and the facility was constructed prior to being annexed to the City. The project was constructed per the building code in affect at the time of construction but the City did not participate in building inspections.

Desert Island Condominiums. Desert Island was constructed in the early 1970s and consists of three separate high-rise condominium buildings with approximately 226 units (some units have been merged to create larger units). Two buildings have seven stories and one building has five stories . The structures are built over a subterranean parking garage .

Bridges
There are six bridges and three vulnerable low water crossing points in Rancho Mirage :
• Dinah Shore Bridge (connecting Mission Hills North & South) • Desert Island Entry Bridge
• Country Club Drive (Whitewater crossing) over the Whitewater Wash (seismically retrofitted) • Bob Hope Drive over the Whitewater Wash (seismically retrofittable) • Monterey Avenue (all weather bridge) over the Whitewater Wash • Frank Sinatra/Whitewater Wash Low-water crossing
• Paxton Drive Low-water crossing (Thunderbird Terrace) • Avenida Las Palmas (Rancho Las Palmas) Low Water Crossing • Lake Mirage Desert Lakes Drive

we are concerned about whether or not all the country clubs and other gated communities in Rancho Mirage are properly preserving/maintinaing/correcting underground fuel/and gas tanks or other under grand materials. that may affect the water table .. We very concerned about any possible chlorine tan ks and other storage tanks that are not mantanined and serviced properly with procedures in place for leak mitigation .. A chloinre leak could result in not only severe damag but death to the reidents who a re donw wind of the leak.

Lots of potential rock falls along public and private roadways. In an event such as high rainfall and/or earthquakes emergency vehicle access could be delayed.

In the event of a catastrophe, I want to feel secure our town is ready for it and can keep residents sat e.

I attended a CERT class put on and/or paid for by RM in 2022, at The Roy Wilson Center. In addition, 1 I am on The Riverside County Sheriffs Search and Rescue Team (DSSAR.) In discussion with The Cit y of RM on both of these, I have learned that you (The City) does NOT currently keep a list of RM Citi zens that can help out durring a disasster. So that you can assemble this group to help out. I think tha t you should!
Heating of the ground could get much higher in the following years which would cause road problems 1 which intern could cause road buckling problems for cars and trucks on our highways. Drought will be on and off but we must continue to use much less water than we are currently. This includes private g olf courses and the use of well water that is not available to most homeowners who pay much higher f or their water from DW. Well water should be regulated the same as water coming from our water co mpany. Less density for our city as more homes mean more water usage. Possible ban on new home pool installation and requirements for all lawn to be taken out and desert low water landscaped install ed in all properties in Rancho Mirage. New private communities should have community pools and po ssible older communities with the help of the city to take out many of the little used pools.

EOC's, cached supplies, designated evacuation routes and rally areas . Partner with local security co 1 mpanies for security needs. Host disaster training, have online emergency preparedness resources, h ave a notification system .

Encourage HOA's and Country Clubs to build parks within their boundaries because Rancho Mirage d oes not currently have what we residents would like, especially for dog walking and safe pedestrian w alking.

Do something about financial loss from blowing sand. Request assistance from property owners of un developed space. If they won't help. Request state assistance for health reason based on the harm fr om the blowing dust. Or. Close down all businesses and homes in the city Do not allow further development in RM. Catino is a huge environmental mistake. Hopeful they bankr 1 upt before ruining the aquafer
CLIMATE CHANGE and the unsustainability of living in a desert in the coming decades. Why is there 1 so much grass in the desert? Stop it already.

1. Medical Triage and Treatment Preparedness. Identifying and planning areas that should a mass ca sualty event take place RM residents can go to receive care and treatment. There should be an area (e.g . Community Park) that can be quickly be brought up to scale to treat people hurt and/or injured.

2. There are people who are unhoused in the City and they should be identified and offered opportunit y to transition to living in an appropriate location along with the offer of mental health evaluation and tr eatment. 3 . The Desert Health Care District needs to become more of a presence in the City with outr each programs for the Elders of the community.

3-95
1) Distribute to all HOAs and Neighborhood Associations an outline of disaster organization for their a reas . Many reluctant to devise plans for fear of incu rring liability. A centrally distributed plan could relie ve fears, spur action. 2) City of RM and Tribal owned lots on NE corner of Ramon and DaVall are form er waste areas attracting nuisance and require remediation.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Mayor and City Council DATE: September 19, 2024
FROM: Ryan Stendell, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: City Capital Project 21-371 RMCP Amphitheater Venue Improvements

SPECIFIC REQUEST OR RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council reject all bids received related to this project and not move forward with the project.

JUSTIFICATION OR INFORMATION
This project was advertised for formal bid on August 7, 2024, and one bid was opened on September 9, 2024, with the results listed below:

Contractor
RC Construction Services, Inc.

Total Bid
$9,047,000.00
The one bid received was over double the engineer's estimate. Prior to bid opening, there were 10 active bidders who had participated in the mandatory pre-bid site visit and asked questions through the official process. Receiving only one bid could be the result of a robust construction market, the complexity of public contracting code requirements, commitments to other projects, other timing issues, staffing issues, or the complexity of modifying an existing structure. Because only one bid was received and is double the engineer's estimate, staff is recommending that the City Council reject this bid and not move forward for the project.

CONTRACT SUMMARY
FROM:

DATE:

Jason Jaurigue, Director of Information Services
September 19, 2024
SUBJECT: ABO OFFICE EQUIPMENT -Multi-Function Devices and Printers:

Equipment and Maintenance Services
Background:

The city's current multi-function printers were acquired in 2017 and have served the city well over the years. However, they are beginning to show significant signs of aging. As technology advances, the efficiency and reliability of the city's equipment have become critical to maintaining productivity and ensuring seamless operations. Unfortunately, the city's existing printers are no longer able to meet the demands of daily operations effectively. The printers have become prone to frequent breakdowns, resulting in increased maintenance costs and downtime, which frequently disrupts workflow.

On July 25, 2024, the City issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to acquire replacement equipment and update terms for service and supplies. The RFP requested two unique proposals from each vendor:
• A bid for a 3-year equipment lease contract with service, maintenance, and metered supplies
• A bid for equipment purchases with a 3-year contract for service, maintenance, and metered supplies
Ten proposals were received by the RFP deadline of August 23, 2024. Staff determined that the most cost-effective proposal is the equipment purchase with a 3-year contract for service, maintenance, and metered supplies. Of the proposals received, ADB Office Equipment meets all the requirements set forth in the RFP and is the lowest bidder over a 3-year total cost of ownership. The estimated 3-year total cost of ownership for the equipment purchase, including service, maintenance, and metered supplies, is $111,550.

5-4
Staff recommends entering into an agreement with ABO Office Equipment. The proposal includes the outright purchase of nineteen (19) multi-function printers, as well as a 3-year contract for maintenance, service, and supplies.

Fiscal Impact:

This is a budgeted item for Fiscal Year 2024/2025, and the agreement entails a 3-year term at a total cost of $111,550.

STAFF REPORT
Mayor and City Council
Isaiah Hagerman, City Manager
Colin Kirkpatrick, City Attorney
SUBJECT: City Council Conflict of Interest Policy

SPECIFIC REQUEST OR RECOMMENDATION
DATE: September 19, 2024
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-(Next-in-Order), Establishing Regulations Prohibiting the City from Entering into Contracts where a City Councilmember has a Conflict of Interest.

JUSTIFICATION OR INFORMATION

BACKGROUND
The City and City Councilmembers are subject to numerous laws regulating ethical conduct, including but not limited to the Political Reform Act, AB 1234, Government Code 1090, the Levine Act, Common Law, accompanying regulations, Attorney General Opinions, Fair Political Practices Commission ("FPPC") advice letters, etc. Often, outside agencies, like the Fair Political Practices Commission, have jurisdiction over conflict-of-interest issues.

These conflict-of-interest laws are only the minimum standards to which public officials are required to comply. As stated in the League of California Cities 2022 publication: A Guide for Local Agency Counsel: Providing Conflict of Interest Advice, "[i]t is an accepted tenet of our democratic tradition that while public officials wield the power of local government, they must only do so as stewards of public resources and holders of the public trust. For this reason, public officials are held to high standards of ethical conduct. .. This body of public ethics law rests on two basic principles, articulated in the [[Political Reform] Act, that (1) government officials serve all citizens equally without regard to status or wealth, and (2) those officials should perform their duties without bias or personal gain".

The patchwork of applicable ethical laws results in a range of definitions, applications, procedures and remedies; ranging from requiring Council members to publicly disclose conflicts and recurse themselves from the decision-making process, to prohibiting City from entering into certain contracts where disqualifying conflicts exist, and potential for criminal, civil and/or administrative penalties, as well as a ban on holding public office (Government Code 1090).

AGENDA ITEM#

DATE: September 19, 2024 Page 2 of 3
City Council Conflict of Interest Policy

JUSTIFICATION OR INFORMATION CONTINUED
Specifically, Government Code 1090's purpose (which prevents cities from entering into contracts where a member has a disqualifying conflict of interest) has been summarized by various courts as follows to make certain that: The truism that a person cannot serve two masters simultaneously ... no public official shall be financially interested in any contract made by that person or by an body or board which he or she is a member ... every public office be guided solely by the public interest, rather than by personal interest, when dealing with contracts in an official capacity ... the statute not only strikes at situations that do not involve actual fraud and dishonesty, but also at those in which the possibility exists for personal influence of an interested (office) to be brought to bear, either directly or indirectly, on an official decision.

Moreover, FPPC's publication: A Quick Guide to Section 1090 (2024), expressly states that the purpose of Section 1090's prohibition "is designed to apply to any situation that 'would prevent the officials involved from exercising absolute loyalty and undivided allegiance to the best interests of the [public entity concerned .' Section 1090's goals include eliminating temptation; avoiding the appearance of impropriety, and assuring the public of the official's undivided and uncompromised allegiance. Furthermore, Section 1090 is intended 'not only to strike at actual impropriety, but also to strike at the appearance of impropriety." Government Code 1090 can preclude otherwise desirable or necessary contracts whereby cities are prohibited from entering into such a contract regardless of whether the official participates in or abstains from the actual decision . Willful violations of Section 1090 may be punished as a felony, and conviction can include prison sentence, disgorgement of anything received, and a lifetime bar from holding office in the State of California.

Whether a council member has a disqualifying conflict of interest under the patchwork of ethical laws may be difficult to determine given the different tests and criteria under various ethical law, even where a violation was inadvertent and unknowing. Therefore, the City and Council as a whole may find itself in the position of losing public trust, even where a Councilmember did not expressly violate the law , but the public believes an act was unethical.

DISCUSSION
Simply stated, if adopted, the Policy would prohibit the City from doing business with business where Council Members have a financial conflict of interest. This Policy would go beyond the minimum ethical standards the City Council and City are bound by law, to promote public trust, respect, loyalty, and fairness, and is intended to supplement existing law for the protection of the public, City Council members, and the City itself.

The stated purpose of the Policy is to promote transparency and fairness in the governmental decision-making process and promote public trust and City's ethical values of trustworthiness, responsibility, respect, loyalty, and fairness. As mentioned earlier, this Policy would be in addition to and would not have any impact on any other applicable laws and regulations governing conflicts of interest and ethical regulations, and is proposed to be a further safeguard.

Echoing Section 1090's purpose, the Policy is intended to be broadly construed and strictly AGENDA ITEM#

JUSTIFICATION OR INFORMATION CONTINUED
enforced with the goal of eliminating temptation, avoiding the appearance of impropriety, and assuring the public of the officials' undivided and uncompromised allegiance, and is intended not only to strike at actual impropriety, but also to strike the appearance of impropriety.

If adopted, the Policy would become operative upon its adoption, and the regulations are intended to apply to Council members during their term of office, while they are making decisions for the public good, to guard against the attempt of personal gain or the perception of impropriety while making City decisions.

AN RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO MIRAGE,

CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING REGULATIONS PROHIBITING CITY FROM ENTERING INTO CONTRACTS WHERE A CITY COUNCILMEMBER HAS A •

CONFLICT OF INTEREST, AS DEFINED HEREIN
WHEREAS, the City of Rancho Mirage is a charter city and a municipal corporation of the State of California, and recognized as a political subdivision of the State of California for certain purpose; and
WHEREAS, the City and City Councilmembers are subject to numerous laws regulating ethical conduct, including but not limited to the Political Reform Act, AB 1234 , Government Code 1090, the Levine Act, Common Law, accompanying regulations, Attorney General Opinions, Fair Political Practices Commission ("FPPC") advice letters , etc . Outside agencies, like the Fair Political Practices Commission, have jurisdiction over certain conflict of interest issues ; and
WHEREAS, these conflict-of-interest laws are only the minimum standards to which public officials are required to comply. As stated in the League of California Cities 2022 publication: A Guide for Local Agency Counsel: Providing Conflict of Interest Advice, "[i]t is an accepted tenet of our democratic tradition that while public officials wield the power of local government, they must only do so as stewards of public resources and holders of the public trust.

This body of public ethics law rests on two basic principles, articulated in the [[Political Reform] Act, that (1) government officials serve all citizens equally without regard to status or wealth, and (2) those officials should perform their duties without bias or personal gain"; and
WHEREAS, the patchwork of applicable ethical laws results in a range of definitions, applications, procedures and remedies; ranging from recusal to prohibition of entering into certain contracts (Government Code 1090); and WHEREAS, specifically, Government Code 1090's purpose (which prevents cities from entering into contracts where a member has a disqualifying conflict of interest) has been summari zed by various courts as follows to make certain that: The truism that a person cannot serve two masters simultaneously ... no public official shall be financially interested in any contract made by that person or by an body or board which he or she is a member ... every public office be guided solely by the public interest, rather than by personal interest, when dealing with contracts in an official capacity ... the statute not only strikes at situations that do not involve actual fraud and dishonesty, but also at those in which the possibility exists for personal influence of an interested (office) to be brought to bear, either directly or indirectly, on an official decision.

from the actual decision. Willful violations of Section 1090 may be punished as a felony, and conviction can include prison sentence, disgorgement of anything received, and a lifetime bar from holding office in the State of California ; and WHEREAS, whether a councilmember has a disqualifying conflict of interest under the patchwork of ethical laws may be difficult to determine given the different tests and criteria under the patchwork of ethical laws, the limited information the City may have, the extent and timing to which the councilmember announces a conflict, and the discretion a councilmember may have regarding whether they have a conflict; and, therefore, the City and Council as a whole may find itself in the position of losing public trust, even where a Councilmember did not violate the law, but the public believes an act was unethical; and
WHEREAS, as good stewards of public resources and holders of the public trust, the City desires to go beyond the minimum ethical standards it is bound by law to promote public trust and promote ethical values of trustworthiness, responsibility, respect, loyalty, and fairness, and institute a prohibition against City doing business with businesses which Council Members have a conflict of interest, as set forth in more detail herein.

NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF RANCHO MIRAGE DOES
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. RECITALS AND EXHIBITS
That the above recitals and attached exhibits are true and correct and are incorporated as though fully set forth herein.

Section 2. ADOPTING CITY CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY
That the City Council hereby adopts the attached policy, as set forth in Exhibit "A", prohibiting the City from entering into contracts where City Councilmembers have a conflict of interest, as defined therein.

Section 3. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) REVIEW Adoption of this Resolution is not subject to CEQA, as it is not a "Project" as defined by CEQA (CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3)). A Project means the whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

The requested action is to amend the Municipal Code to create a new criminal offense and is exempt as it will not result in direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. This action is further exempt from CEQA under the "common sense" exemption as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment (CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3)).

7-7
Section 4. SEVERABILITY
That the City Council declares that, should any provision, section, paragraph, sentence or word of this resolution and attached policy be rendered or declared invalid by any final court action in a court of competent jurisdiction or by reason of any preemptive legislation, the remaining provisions, sections, paragraphs, sentences or words of this Resolution as hereby adopted shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 6. REPEAL OF CONFLICTING PROVISIONS
That all the provisions of the as heretofore adopted by the City of Rancho Mirage that are in conflict with the provisions of this Resolution and attached policy are hereby repealed.

Section 7. EFFECTIVE DATE
That this Resolution shall be effective immediately upon its adoption.

Section 8. CERTIFICATION
That the City Clerk shall certify to the passage of this Resolution and shall cause the same to be processed in the manner required by law. [REMAINDER OF THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]

EXHIBIT "A"

CITY OF RANCHO MIRAGE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY
A. Purpose. The purpose of this Policy ("Policy") is to promote transparency and fairness in the governmental decision-making process and promote public trust and City's ethical values of trustworthiness, responsibility, respect, loyalty, and fairness, via adopting a policy prohibiting City from doing business with businesses which Council Members have a financial conflict of interest, as set forth in more detail herein. This section shall be in addition to, and shall not be interpreted to diminish, any applicable laws and regulations governing conflicts of interest and ethical regulations. The requirements herein shall apply in addition to and regardless of application of any other laws and regulations governing conflicts of interest and ethical regulations. This Policy shall be broadly construed and strictly enforced with the goal of eliminating temptation, avoiding the appearance of impropriety, and assuring the public of the officials' undivided and uncompromised allegiance, and is intended not only to strike at actual impropriety, but also to strike the appearance of impropriety. This Policy shall become operative upon its adoption and shall only apply prospectively, and the regulations are intended to apply to Councilmembers only during their term of office to guard against the perception of impropriety while making City decisions, and not to impact their dealings or the City's ability to contract while such persons are not holding office.

B. Definitions.
"Business" shall mean any organization or enterprise operated for profit, including partnership, firm, business trust, joint venture, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, sole proprietorship, and non -profit organization. Business shall not include federal, state and local agencies, special districts, and other governmental agencies, except as provided in Section C of this Policy.
"Business with" shall mean any arrangement, whether or not in writing, with the business where the councilmember has or had a reasonably foreseeable financial interest while serving as a Councilmember.
"Contract" means any oral or written contract, including but not limited to payment authorizations, purchases, or the making or receipt of a grant or donation, and any amendments or modifications thereto.
"Financial Interest" means any financial interest which might interfere with a city officer's unqualified devotion to public duty, and may be direct or indirect, in -kind exchanges, and may involve financial losses, or possibility of losses, as well as the prospect of a pecuniary gain. This term shall be liberally interpreted to prohibit any form of self-dealing, and motivation to leverage any benefit to a councilmember's business or other financial interest as a result of a City contract.

7-10
C. Prohibited Contracts. City shall not enter into any contract with a business that a city councilmember (has a financial interest in such contract; except as may otherwise be required by law or as may be allowed herein. While contracts with governmental agencies are generally exempt because governmental agencies generally are not defined as a "business" in this Policy, where a Councilmember has a financial interest in a City contract with a governmental agency, City shall not enter into such contract, except as may be required by law or where the official's financial interest is indistinguishable from the manner in which the decision will affect the public generally.

Further, where City has entered into a contract with, procured goods or services, or otherwise donated funds to, a business, no Councilmember shall obtain a financial interest with said business after the fact during their term as a councilmember following the date of final city action on said contract, nor shall a councilmember accept, solicit, or direct any business with said business.

Without limiting the generality of the forgoing, city council members shall not direct city staff to enter into any prohibited contracts, nor shall city staff enter into any such contracts where there is a known conflict of interest.

D. Conflict Notice. It shall be the obligation of each and every business to notify the City in writing, signed under penalty of perjury, of any potential Councilmember financial interest in the making of said contract. Failure of a business to properly notify the city of any financial interest shall not relieve the councilmember of their obligations herein or under any applicable law regarding disclosure of conflicts of interest, and councilmembers shall have a duty to disclose any financial interest with a business as soon as the Councilmember is aware of any contract negotiations and in any event before City action on said contract.

No person or business shall evade, obfuscate, conceal, or suppress any information in its duty to disclose whether a councilmember has a financial interest in the contract, or to attempt in any way to hold themselves or their business out as a separate business to avoid application of this Policy, where a conflict of interest pursuant to this section otherwise exists.

E. Further Actions. The City Manager or designee may implement administrative procedures to effectuate the purpose of this Policy.

STAFF REPORT
Mayor and City Council
Ryan Stendell, Assistant City Manager
Isaiah Hagerman, City Manager
SUBJECT: Economic Development Study

SPECIFIC REQUEST OR RECOMMENDATION
DATE: September 19, 2024
That the City Council take no action at this time and wait for the Visit Greater Palm Springs (VGPS) regional study to be completed.

JUSTIFICATION OR INFORMATION
Background
At its meeting of September 5, 2024, Councilmember Marker requested an item appear on a future City Council meeting as it relates to Economic Development. The request posed by Councilmember Marker was for the City Council to discuss and vote on the retainment of a consultant to prepare an Economic Development Study. The study would include a review of the following:
• Revitalization of Restaurant Row
• Revitalization of The River and Rancho Las Palmas Shopping Center • Creating a Rancho Mirage Design District
• Exploring the highest and best use for the remaining vacant lands within the City, including land acquisition.

Discussion
The intent of this staff report is to timely respond to the requested action. Below please find a summary of efforts that we believe are congruent with this topic:

Visit Greater Palm Springs (VGPS):

In June of this year, the VGPS Executive Committee approved an amendment to the Joint Powers Agreement which establishes Economic Development as a new purpose. This action also established the Economic Development Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), which Rancho Mirage receives one seat currently filled by Assistant City Manager, Ryan Stendell.

According to recent discussions with VGPS, the TAC will play a critical role in developing the VGPS's Economic Development effort. VGPS has retained its own consulting team to establish AGENDA ITEM#

JUSTIFICATION OR INFORMATION CONTINUED:
its own goals, objectives, and marketing strategy. In discussions with VGPS staff there is likely opportunity for us to expand on their efforts, if the City desires a deeper dive on any given topic.

VGPS's effort allows the region to be studied as a whole, which is helpful when it comes to market trends. VGPS envisions a process where local cities could elect to commission a specific study of their jurisdiction to align their local strategy with the regional efforts. Before these local studies can take place, the regional study must be completed. Being able to align relevant regional goals and policies with the local goals and policies would give the City better results. In addition, the regional study being funded by VGPS will save local cities resources since they won't have to pay for duplicative work.

International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) Western Conference:

ICSC as an organization provides trainings, and yearly programming to connect the retail community to its various community partners. This year's western conference is being held in Palm Springs, to which three staff members are attending. Having the ability to team up with our local leasing agents, and property owners, to introduce Rancho Mirage to a targeted audience is a tremendous opportunity. Additionally, many of the leading retail/tourism market research firms attend and provide trainings throughout these conferences.

Land Use & General Plan Goals:

The City's current General Plan recognizes the importance of the Highway 111 corridor to the City's economy. Specifically, Economic and Fiscal Element Policy 2.5 requires the City to "promote the development of a central place of activity to enhance the economic vitality of the Highway 111 Corridor." Staff has implemented this policy creatively through the development process, aiding developments that add to our local economy.

The implementation of VGPS's efforts for a regional study would provide staff with relevant economic data that affect the region. Our ability to further analyze and/or expand their efforts is an added benefit.

Support of the Rancho Mirage Chamber of Commerce:

The City enjoys a successful partnership with the Rancho Mirage Chamber of Commerce through event sponsorships, use of City facilities, or deploying targeted incentive programs. The Chamber is also very knowledgeable with the team at City Hall and can quickly help the business community navigate our regulatory process. Simply put, the Chamber coordinates on behalf of our business community to achieve successful outcomes.

Recommendation
Staff's recommendation, as stated above, is that the City Council take no action at this time.

Staff is most interested in the collaboration occurring at the VGPS and our ability to leverage a consulting team that is actively working in our community.
