ATTACHMENTS:
• AB 1912 Agreement
• CIRA Resolution 2022-04
BACKGROUND:

The City of Twentynine Palms is a member of CIRA, a statewide, risk sharing Joint Powers Authority (JPA). The purpose of our membership is to provide comprehensive coverage specific to self-funded liability programs, general liability programs, etc.

State law requires a JPA to meet pension obligations for employees and retirees should the JPA terminate its retirement plan with CalPERS or dissolve. The law requires that member agencies of a JPA, prior to filing a notice of termination of CalPERS participation, must mutually agree (within 60 days) with the public retirement system on how to apportion the retirement liability of the JPA so that the apportionment equals 100% of this liability.

ANALYSIS:

As a result of the merger between the Public Agency Risk Sharing Authority of California (PARSAC) and the Redwood Empire Municipal Insurance Fund (REMIF) to form CIRA, PARSAC became the successor agency and absorbed REMIF’s CalPERS pension liabilities into its contract. The City of Twentynine Palms was a member of PARSAC. The contracting agency is now CIRA.

THIS AGREEMENT is made in the State of California by and among those municipalities organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, hereinafter referred to as "Member Entity[ies]," which are parties’ signatory to the Joint Powers Authority Agreement hereafter “JPA Agreement. All such Member Entities are listed in Appendix "A", which is attached hereto and made a part hereof.

RECITALS
Whereas the California Intergovernmental Risk Authority (CIRA), formerly the Public Agency Risk Sharing Authority of California (PARSAC), is an entity formed under California Government Code Section 6500 which permits two or more public agencies by agreement to jointly exercise any power common to the contracting parties.

Whereas the Redwood Empire Municipal Insurance Fund (REMIF) is an entity formed under California Government Code Section 6500 which permits two or more public agencies by agreement to jointly exercise any power common to the contracting parties.

Whereas, the jurisdiction of PARSAC was expanded with the addition of member agencies of REMIF, and its name changed to the California Intergovernmental Risk Authority, effective July 1, 2021.

Whereas, to avoid the involuntary termination of the REMIF CalPERS pension contract as a result of the transfer of all employees to CIRA, the CalPERS pension contract of REMIF was merged into the CIRA CalPERS contract, effective July 1, 2021.

Whereas California Government Code § 6508.2 requires that the member agencies of a joint powers agency (“AGENCY”) that contracts with CalPERS, mutually agree to a 100% apportionment of the AGENCY’s retirement liability prior to the adoption of an notice of termination of the AGENCY’s participation in CalPERS.

As such, the liability to CalPERS with respect to service credited under REMIF’s CalPERS contract, and the continuing liability to CalPERS of CIRA with respect to service credit accrued both prior to and after July 1, 2021 under CIRA’s CalPERS contract, shall be the contractual liability of CIRA. Periodically, but not more than every three years, CIRA will retain an actuary to determine the share of the estimated termination liability of CIRA which is allocable to CIRA and REMIF for service accrued prior to July 1, 2021. The allocation of liability, and

the payment of related contributions, with respect to service credit accrued prior to July 1, 2021 and thereafter is set forth below.

ARTICLE IV

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF RETIREMENT LIABILITY
A. In the event of a decision by the governing Board of CIRA to adopt a notice of intent to terminate its contract with CalPERS, the Member Entities agree that 100% of CIRA’s Retirement Liability shall be funded by all current and former CIRA, and REMIF Member Entities based on a pro rata share of the former and current Member Entities’ historical Deposit Premium in the Workers’ Compensation and Liability self-funded Programs. The apportionment of the Retirement Liability shall be calculated as set forth above, and the unfunded Retirement Liability then existing shall be paid as follows: The unfunded Retirement Liability then existing shall be paid prior to any distribution of assets as provided in ARTICLE XIV and XV of the JPA Agreement and prior to the payment of any equity that may be determined as the result of the Retrospective Premium Adjustment process as set forth in ARTICLE XIV. (For example, should a Member Entity have remaining equity in either the Workers’ Compensation or Liability program, at the time of CIRA’s dissolution or CIRA’s termination of CIRA’s contract with a public retirement system, the Member Entity’s equity shall first be applied to reduce that Member Entity’s share of the apportionment of the Unfunded Retirement Liability.)
B. Any unfunded Retirement Liability allocated to CIRA for serviced accrued prior to July 1, 2021, shall first be reduced by applying the proceeds from the sale of real property identified as 1525 Response Road, Sacramento, CA, 95815 (the “CIRA Property”) as provided in

Adopted May 20, 2022 7
Resolution No. 2019-03, attached hereto as Exhibit C, prior to the determination of the amounts owed by the members of CIRA prior to July 1, 2021 under the apportionment provided herein.

In the event that REMIF disposes of the real property identified as 414 West Napa Street, Sonoma, CA 95476 (REMIF Property), any unfunded Retirement Liability allocated to REMIF for service accrued prior to July 1, 2021 shall first be reduced by applying the proceeds from the sale of the REMIF Property as provided in Resolution 2019-03, attached hereto as Exhibit C , prior to the determination of the amounts owed by the members of REMIF prior to July 1, 2021 under the apportionment provided herein.

C. The apportionment of the Retirement Liability of CIRA among the former and current members of CIRA and REMIF, as identified in Appendix A and B, and the obligation to pay their share of the CIRA Retirement Liability as provided herein, shall be a separate and independent obligation from the obligation of the Member Entities arising upon termination, expulsion or withdrawal of a Member Entity or upon termination of the JPA Agreement including but not limited to ARTICLES XII, XIII, XIV, and XV of that Agreement.

ARTICLE V

TERM OF AGREEMENT
This Agreement shall become effective as of the date hereof and shall continue in full force and effect for the purpose of paying 100% of the Retirement Liability of CIRA pursuant to the apportionment among former and current members of CIRA and REMIF, as identified in Appendix A and B,, as provided for herein.

STAFF REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
FOR MEETING: Aug 23 2022
SUBJECT: Revised Annual Contract with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.

RECOMMENDATION:

The City Council approve the revised annual contract with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department for Law Enforcement Services in the amount of $4,620,449 plus incidental expenses, an increase of $106,197.

ORDER OF PROCEDURE:

Request Staff Report (City Manager Presenting)
Council Questions of Staff
Public Comment
Council Discussion
Motion/Second
Call the Question
ATTACHMENTS:
• 2022-23 Revised Schedule A
from the Sheriff Department
• 6 County Deputy Sheriff
Salary Comparison
BACKGROUND:

The below is the text for the staff report that Council approved back on May 10, 2022. Since that time, the County of San Bernardino reopened the Deputies Labor Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to address the current inflation, retention, and recruitment challenges that the department was facing. The attached document shows the comparison with the deputy costs from six southern California Counties, so with the change we stay competitive, but still towards the bottom in wage comparison.

The City contracts with the San Bernardino County Sheriff for law enforcement services. The contract provides for two patrol deputies at all times (24/7) in addition to one traffic officer (40 hours per week), a school resource officer (SRO) (40 hours per week), two volunteer citizen patrol units, and related support services. The SRO works throughout the city, not primarily at the schools, but their first priority is Schools.

Cost for all these services will be $4,514,252 for Fiscal Year 2022-2023.

The School Resource Officer costs the City $215,838 annually; however, this position is only spending approximately 50% of his/her hours for school related activities or $107,919. Morongo Unified School District (MUSD) provides the City with $86,335 towards this service or 40% of the direct cost as per the attached agreement, however we have a pathway forward to get to 50% paid by MUSD. The other 50% of the deputy’s time is spent on patrol related functions, on a priority basis. The following are the school services provided:

Page 39 of 195 ends

• Direct Calls for service from a school;
• Clean Sweep citation processing;
• Investigations involving students within the school system; • Truancy;
• Graffiti investigation;
In addition, the City has budgeted the following expenses:
$65,815 Overtime
$100,000 Vehicle Maintenance and Operation
$125,000 SLEF (Supplemental Local Law Enforcement
Services Funds)
$36,538 Cal ID Program
The sheriff’s contract cost (schedule A) is $111,380 or 2.5% over the prior year schedule A. The services provided by the Sheriff’s Department are considered to be excellent. The City has the advantage of a well-trained force with many specialized teams that can be brought into the city as needed (such as the homicide investigation team) and at a reasonable cost.

Approval of the contract will provide for a continuation of services.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

Not Applicable
ALTERNATIVES:

No alternatives would be available for this fiscal year.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Total services are budgeted at $4,961,826. The increase will be paid out of the remaining funds of ARPA for surplus.

BRANDING CONSISTENCY
City social media accounts need to incorporate branding reflective of the City’s official brand. The goal of City branding is to create a cohesive, consistent and professional image both visually and in written correspondence. A consistent identity will help build and maintain the City’s reputation, strengthen the way audiences see the City and cohesively connect the departments.

The City seal is an essential cornerstone of the City’s branding. On social media, the seal will be used to represent the City without words.

The proper placement or treatment of the seal is essential when drafting a social media post:
• Use proper placement to help eliminate crowding and interference with the seal. • Avoid stretching or distorting the seal.
• The seal may be made bigger if it remains uniform and proportional.

To ensure the integrity and visibility of the seal, it should be kept clear of competing text, images and graphics. The seal should be given adequate space on all sides when incorporated into a photo.

The social media account’s profile picture, header and images within posts must fall in line with the City’s official seal and affiliated colors, which also includes black and white:

Page 52 of 195 ends

All posts on official City platforms will include the following:

1. Written caption
a. When able, contains a meaningful, clear call-to-action b. Always include a caption to ensure ADA compliance

2. Graphic
a. Either original content or legally sourced
b. Contains relevant information, as related to the caption

3. When City seal is incorporated, it must adhere to branding standards listed above

CONTENT GUIDELINES FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS/REPLIES

1. Authorized Employees should be aware that it is not always possible or recommended on social media networks to disable the feature that allows or permits responsive posts by members of the public. By permitting use of this feature, the City does not intend to create a general public forum, and all Public Comments and Posts must comply with this Social Media Policy. In addition, most social media networks have their own terms of use and standards of conduct. All content posted on a City Social Media Account must comply with this Social Media Policy and any host site user guidelines. In such an event, the following regulations apply:
a. The Authorized Employees for each City Social Media Account that allows public Posts will post the Social Media Policy and make it readily accessible to anyone wishing to post a Public Comment. Any changes to the “terms of use” policy must be approved in advance by the City Manager or City Attorney (or their respective designees). b. To the extent that members of the public are permitted to post content on a City Social Media Account, Authorized Employees should only respond to a Post by a member of the public if they are answering a question or providing direction. All posts responding to a particular Post must be positioned as a response to benefit the entire social media audience or addressing a concern that is being shared. It may not be necessary to respond to every Post.
i. The same applies to private Messages by Facebook Messenger or Instagram where a question is being asked. Only answer to those questions that are relevant and make sure the answers are thorough as if you were talking to a public audience. Spam-related messages should be ignored.
ii. Timeliness in your response is important: responding within 24 hours is always a good practice, or on a Monday following a weekend post.
c. Some authorized social media networks provide the ability to hide or delete posts from the public. If the Authorized Employees wish to hide or delete a Post or Public Comment, they need to coordinate with the City Manager and

Page 53 of 195 ends

possibly the City Attorney. If the Post is to be deleted, there is a documentation process for public records that needs to be followed first.

Standard practice for social media is that, once a Post is published, it cannot be deleted. It can be edited as long as it does not change the original intent of the Post.
d. No Post, Public Comment, or other content shall be removed solely simply because it is critical of the City, its officials, employees or programs, or because City staff disagrees with the viewpoint of the Public Comment, content or submittal.
e. The Authorized Employee should make a practice of reviewing their assigned City Social Media Account(s) and all associated content not less than once each workday. If the Authorized Employee will be absent for more than one (1) workday for any reason, the Department Director or their designee is responsible for performing the review.

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT ON CITY SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS
Any Authorized Employees shall review, be familiar with, and comply with the City's Social Media Policy, the social media sites' use policies and terms and conditions and any related guidelines issued by the Public Information Officer, or designee. Authorized Employees posting social media on behalf of their individual departments or division shall also be subject to any more restrictive terms if established by their department or division and such more restrictive terms shall not be limited by this policy.

Postings on any of the City Social Media Accounts sites by an Authorized Employees should only reflect the views or concerns of the City. Any postings made by Authorized Employees on a City Social Media Account will be viewed by the public as coming from the City, and shall reflect an accepted City of Twentynine Palms’ voice and validity.

City employees have NO right of expectation of privacy when using City systems. City reserves the right to monitor City Social Media Accounts.

Authorized Employees representing the City government via City Social Media Accounts must conduct themselves at all times as representatives of the City.

Authorized Employees shall comply with any applicable City and Department policies.

Those that fail to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner shall be subject to appropriate disciplinary actions.

SUBJECT: Contract Amendment to the Existing Agreement for Legal Services - Rutan and Tucker.

RECOMMENDATION:

The City Council authorize the Mayor to execute an amended professional services agreement with Rutan and Tucker.

• 2022 restated and amended
city of 29p retainer agreement
(3)
BACKGROUND:

The law firm of Rutan and Tucker has been representing the City since 1990, with Patrick Munoz serving as City Attorney since 1994. The last contract amendment to adjust the City Attorney hourly rates was considered in 2009. The rates have been subject to annual CPI adjustments, but no other adjustments have occurred. In contrast, other City staff in the same period has been eligible for both cost of living adjustments, and merit pay increases. Mr. Munoz has requested an increase in addition to CPI effective July 1, 2022. The City Manager working with the City Attorney has agreed upon a recommendation for such an increase for the Council to consider.

DISCUSSION:

Based upon (1) a review of rates, economic factors and the current structure of the agreement with Rutan and Tucker (“Rutan”), (2) consideration of Rutan & Tucker’s thirty years of consistent, exceptional and very successful representation of the City, and (3) Rutan and Tucker’s history of not exceeding the City’s budget for legal services, Rutan is requesting the below contract adjustments.

The Current Contract and Related Economic Issues.

The current contract is structured to provide a discounted rate for Mr. Munoz’s time rather than providing a retainer as some other cites do. All other attorneys at Rutan and Tucker (“Rutan”) who work on matters for the City are billed at Rutan and Tucker’s design rate for their services with that rate capped at what Page 57 of 195 amounts to a significant discount. Since 2009 when the current agreement was entered, Rutan’s labor costs have gone up 41% (meaning the increase in the starting salary paid in order to attract top graduates from top law schools). In contrast, Rutan’s rates charged to the City for the same period have only gone up 24% per the terms of the current agreement. The rates included in the agreement in 2009 were intended to give the City a significant discount on Mr. Munoz time but allow Rutan to bill its typical rates for associates; and, at the same time keep to the City’s budget by putting a cap on rates charged by other partners when their skill level was needed. Now, the City continues to receive a very significant discount for Mr. Munoz's time, but the cap comes into play for all but brand new, inexperienced lawyers.

Notwithstanding the intended structure, Rutan has consistently staffed City projects with senior lawyers, and partners in virtually all matters, which is contrary to the intended economic model of the current agreement.

History of Quality Services.

From a City Manager perspective, there are very significant budget savings that fly under the radar because of Rutan’s services. The City has avoided significant litigation over the years due to Rutan’s good advice. In addition, the City has benefitted financially because of creative and effective legal advice provided when warranted. Project Phoenix is a prime example, and only came to fruition due to Rutan’s creative legal strategy, and successful litigation against the State to keep the funds used for that project.

Consistent Budget Goals.

Over the course of the last five years Rutan’s legal fees have consistently come in under budget. Over that period they have been under budget on average 17%. This in part appears to be tied to the use of senior staff and partners to perform work on behalf of the City and the efficiency that comes from using experienced attorneys.

Proposed Contract Adjustment.

Pursuant to the current agreement, Mr. Munoz's rate as of July 1, 2022 is $260/hr. and the cap for all other attorneys is $340/hr. The proposed contract amendment results in Mr. Munoz's rate moving to $277/hr. and the cap for all other attorneys moving to $363/hr. This is an increase of 6.5% above the otherwise applicable rates. Notably, taking into account the CPI increase that becomes effective July 1, 2022, the total increase for FY 2022/23 is 15%, which is less than the annual average amount under budget that the City’s legal fees have been over the last five years as noted above.

The goal of this proposed amended contract is to keep the rates for the City competitive while keeping Rutan & Tucker under contract and representing the City. Nothing in the contract prohibits the City Council from renegotiating or terminating the agreement at any time after providing a 30-day notice.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

Not Applicable
ALTERNATIVES:

Other alternatives as identified by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed adjustment to the hourly rates is anticipated to have no impact on the City’s legal budget.

The Actuals typically come under our annual budget by approximately 15%, outside of some non-typical legal issue. It will be incumbent of the Manager to judiciously use Rutan staff to conserve cost.

BACKGROUND:

The population of the City of Twentynine Palms (City) is 27,435 in 2020 and has grown 10 percent since the last census in 2010 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2021). The City’s municipal limits encompass 58.8 square miles and 30.5 square miles of unincorporated area around its boundary and have been designated as part of the City’s “sphere of influence” for future expansion (City of Twentynine Palms, 2021). The local land use is primarily rural, lowdensity residential and light commercial. The Twentynine Palms Water District (TPWD) is a separate entity that provides drinking water to the broader community. Groundwater withdrawn from the Mesquite and Twentynine Palms subbasins is the primary source of drinking water for the community. There are no sanitary sewer connections in the City, so onsite water treatment systems (OWTS), commonly known as septic systems, serve as the sole means of wastewater disposal and provide an unknown quantity of groundwater recharge. The City and the TPWD are collaborating to develop a Wastewater Management Plan that will provide a blueprint for a centralized sewer-collection system and wastewater treatment plant to replace aging septic systems and protect the groundwater resources.

The guidelines prepared for the Salt and Nutrient Management Plan is to develop a comprehensive strategy to monitor and protect the groundwater resources in the area, analyze nutrient loadings for the various groundwater basins and evaluate loading reductions to balance these basins to avoid water quality impacts because of septic systems. To accomplish these guidelines and strategy, staff is proposing the engagement with USGS for the following scope:

The scope of this project involves the following proposed activities, some of which are not currently funded at the request of the City of Twentynine Palms:
1) Collect and review existing geohydrologic data. Page 63 of 195 2) Determine baseline water quality.
3) Model aquifer properties and estimate quantity and quality of water being pumped from different depths of the aquifer using depth-dependent sampling methods, well-bore flow logging and AnalyzeHOLE (Halford, 2009). 4) Collect surface geophysical data and develop alluvial thickness and depth to basement models. 5) Install multiple-well monitoring sites for site-specific and depth-dependent water-quality and water-level monitoring. (Not funded)
6) Install piezometers and lysimeters to evaluate nitrate loads and transformations in the unsaturated zone. 7) Estimate septic discharge and nutrient flux into the local groundwater system. 8) Evaluate borehole cuttings for presence of arsenic and fluoride containing minerals and identify aquifer lithologies that may contribute arsenic and fluoride to wells in the Twentynine Palms subbasin. (Not funded) 9) Estimate basin recharge using the Basin Characterization Model.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

Environmental Analysis is underway.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council could choose to adjust, change, delete, or reject this proposal.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City has tentatively been approved for $1M from State Water along with the Water District tentatively committing to $104,757.

Evaluation of geohydrologic conditions and geochemical conditions in Twentynine Palms, California California Water Science Center, Southwest Region
Proposal # 2022-03
Cooperator: City of Twentynine Palms
Prepared by: Meghan Dick, Christina Stamos, John Izbicki, and Joseph Fackrell

BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION
The study area consists of the City of Twentynine Palms and surrounding unincorporated areas of San Bernardino county in the southwestern Mojave Desert of California, about 130 miles east of Los Angeles, California (fig. 1) and is within the Mesquite Lake and Fortynine Palms Canyon-Shortz Lake watersheds. The underlying groundwater basins are the Twentynine Palms Valley (basin 7-010) and the Joshua Tree (basin 7-062), which are separated by the Pinto Mountain Fault, and a small area of the Dale Valley (California Department of Water Resources, 2021; basin 7-009); this area will not be included in this study. Nishikawa and others (2004) and Li and Martin (2011) further divided the Twentynine Palms Valley groundwater basin into the Mesquite and Mainside subbasins and divided the Joshua Tree groundwater basin into the Joshua Tree and Twentynine Palms subbasins.

The Mesquite subbasin is recharged primarily from groundwater underflow from the adjacent groundwater basins.

Some runoff from the Little San Bernardino and Pinto Mountains recharges the Mesquite subbasin when streamflow infiltrates the washes that reaches the subbasin during storm events; some recharge also occurs from groundwater underflow resulting from the infiltration of streamflow in the Twentynine Palms subbasin (Nishikawa and others, 2004). Within the City limits, the terrain is primarily younger alluvial deposits of quaternary age bordered by the Pinto Mountains along the southern edge of the Joshua Tree groundwater basin.

The population of the City of Twentynine Palms (City) was about 28,000 in 2020 and has grown by about 12 percent since the last census in 2010 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2021). The City’s municipal limits encompass 58.8 square miles and

30.5 square miles of unincorporated area around its boundary and have been designated as part of the City’s “sphere of influence” for future expansion (City of Twentynine Palms, 2021). The local land use is primarily rural, low-density residential and light commercial. The Twentynine Palms Water District (TPWD) is a separate entity that provides drinking water to the broader community. Groundwater withdrawn from the Mesquite and Twentynine Palms subbasins is the primary source of drinking water for the community. There are no sanitary sewer connections in the City, so onsite water treatment systems (OWTS), commonly known as septic systems, serve as the sole means of wastewater disposal and provide an unknown quantity of groundwater recharge. The City and the TPWD are collaborating to develop a Wastewater Management Plan that will provide a blueprint for a centralized sewercollection system and wastewater treatment plant to replace aging septic systems and protect the groundwater resources.

PROBLEM
Twentynine Palms, California is in a remote desert area and groundwater is the only source of potable water.

Groundwater recharge from precipitation is small or negligible in arid areas and septic discharges may be an important source of recharge to underlying aquifers (Stamos and others, 2013). In arid environments, dilution of septic discharge from infiltration of precipitation is scant, leaving only dilution with shallow groundwater or denitrification to mitigate nitrate associated with septic discharges. Nitrate contamination from septic discharges may be dampened by long travel times through thick unsaturated zones, and subsequent storage of high-nitrate water in the unsaturated zone (Izbicki, Flint and others, 2015). Previous work in Yucca Valley, Calif. showed nitrate from septic discharges stored in the unsaturated zone could be rapidly mobilized due to the infiltration of artificial recharge and subsequent rising groundwater (Nishikawa and others, 2003; Izbicki, Flint, and others, 2015; Stamos and others, 2013). The City relies heavily on OWTS to treat and dispose of sewage and there is concern that the use of these OWTS could degrade groundwater quality as the local population grows. Thus, it is important to understand the geohydrologic processes that will influence how the city will manage its future wastewater.

Martin and Li (2010) showed that groundwater levels in parts of the Mesquite subbasin have been declining because the amount of pumpage exceeds natural recharge; this has resulted in increasing concentrations of arsenic, fluoride, chromium, nitrates, and dissolved solids. Therefore, groundwater quality has become a water-management issue Page 68 of 195 2 particularly in regard to meeting the U.S. State of California maximum contaminant levels (MCL) for drinking water for arsenic (10 micrograms per liter (µg/L)), fluoride (2 milligrams per liter (mg/L)), chromium (50 µg/L), and nitrates (10 mg/L) (https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/drinking_water/certlic/drinkingwater/documents/ccr/mcls_epa_vs_dwp.pdf).

Elevated fluoride levels are widespread across the TPWD service area, especially in the Twentynine Palms subbasin where a fluoride removal plant is in operation to treat local groundwater prior to use as a source of public supply (Kennedy Jenks, 2021). Arsenic and chromium concentrations are also of concern and treatment systems for both constituents will likely need to be installed.

OBJECTIVES and SCOPE
The overall purpose of this project will be to gain insight into the geohydrologic and geochemical conditions in aquifers in the City of Twentynine Palms. Specific geohydrologic conditions evaluated include depth-dependent aquifer waterlevels and hydrologic properties, and aquifer recharge from natural sources and onsite water treatment system discharges. Specific geochemical conditions evaluated include the contributions of nitrate from onsite water treatment system discharges and contributions of arsenic and fluoride from natural (geogenic) sources on local groundwater quality. Additionally, this work will:
1) Refine the hydrogeologic understanding of the area, including how subsurface features contribute to the structure of the groundwater basins and contribute to local water-quality concerns. 2) Establish well sites for long-term monitoring of local groundwater levels and quality.

The scope of this project involves the following proposed activities, some of which are not currently funded at the request of the City of Twentynine Palms:
1) Collect and review existing geohydrologic data.
2) Determine baseline water quality.
3) Model aquifer properties and estimate quantity and quality of water being pumped from different depths of the aquifer using depth-dependent sampling methods, well-bore flow logging and AnalyzeHOLE (Halford, 2009).
4) Collect surface geophysical data and develop alluvial thickness and depth to basement models. 5) Install multiple-well monitoring sites for site-specific and depth-dependent water-quality and water-level monitoring. (Not funded)
6) Install piezometers and lysimeters to evaluate nitrate loads and transformations in the unsaturated zone. 7) Estimate septic discharge and nutrient flux into the local groundwater system. 8) Evaluate borehole cuttings for presence of arsenic and fluoride containing minerals and identify aquifer lithologies that may contribute arsenic and fluoride to wells in the Twentynine Palms subbasin. (Not funded) 9) Estimate basin recharge using the Basin Characterization Model.

RELEVANCE and BENEFITS
This project is based on a direct need for the City to better understand the sources and processes that control concentrations of regulated contaminants in the groundwater basins that serve its population. USGS expertise in complex hydrologic concepts such as surface water-groundwater connectivity, geochemical evaluation of water and nutrient source identification, and groundwater age dating provide a means to serve the needs of the City efficiently.

The work proposed will support the goals outlined by the current USGS Water Science Strategy Circular 1383-G (Evenson and others, 2013), as follows:

1. Provide Society the Information It Needs Regarding the Amount and Quality of Water in All Components of the Water Cycle at High Temporal and Spatial Resolution, Nationwide, by the advancement of monitoring networks and techniques for hydrologic and water-quality data and the assessment of water resources and their suitability to meet human needs

2. Advance Understanding of Processes that Determine Water Availability, by the comprehensive understanding of geological controls of water availability, and understanding human interactions with water availability

Page 69 of 195 ends

3 Additionally, the work proposed will support the current CAWSC list of Priorities for Project Relevance and Benefits as follows:

1. Statewide streamflow and groundwater monitoring - We see an additional need for long-term groundwater monitoring, including “super gages” to better understand stream-aquifer interaction and the effects of conjunctive use on water resources and quality.

2. Groundwater availability and use - With the implementation of California’s 2014 Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), we see increasing demand for USGS engagement both at the State Level (with the California Department of Water Resources and the State Water Resources Control Board) and with local agencies that are required to develop Sustainability Plans.

3. Expanded groundwater quality work – One of the sustainability goals of SGMA is to achieve and maintain good groundwater quality. Through its statewide GAMA and COGG programs, the CAWSC is recognized as the “goto” government science agency for complex groundwater quality issues. We expect that our expertise will be required to help State and Local agencies comply with the groundwater quality aspects of SGMA.

7. Expansion of targeted water-quality assessments - E.g., mercury, chromium, pesticides, nutrients, recycled water, harmful algal blooms.

Further strategies for the relevance and benefit of this project can be found in: USGS Water Science Strategy – Observing, Understanding, Predicting, and Delivering Water Science to the Nation https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1383g/circ1383-G.pdf

APPROACH
Task 1. Review of Existing Geohydrologic Data
Existing geologic, geophysical, geochemical, hydrologic, and modeled data will be reviewed to refine the hydrogeologic understanding of the area. Any data collected by the City and the TPWD, or other sources, will be incorporated with historical data available in the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Inventory System (NWIS) data base and published reports, such as Izbicki, Teague and others (2015), Li and Martin (2011) and Nishikawa and others (2004).

Task 2. Baseline Water Quality
There are 7 active production wells serving the City and surrounding areas (wells TPWD-WTP-1, TPWD-11B, TPWD-12, TPWD-14, TPWD-15, TPWD-16, TPWD-17; fig. 1). The TPWD operates these wells and collects water-quality samples annually. The USGS will collect additional water-quality samples from these active production wells to establish baseline water-quality chemistry (table 1). The samples will be collected by USGS field crews using methods described by Wilde, 2016 and U.S. Geological Survey (variously dated). Measurements of field parameters (Table 1) will be made at the time of sample collection. The samples will be analyzed for major and minor ions, selected trace elements (including fluoride, chromium, and arsenic), nutrients (including nitrate), dissolved organic carbon, and the stable isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen (δ18O and δD, respectively). Indicators of groundwater age will also be collected, including carbon-14 and tritium. Laboratories and quality assurance procedures used for analyses of these samples are discussed later in this proposal.

Water chemistry data will be compared to historic and regional water chemistry data published by Christensen and Fields-Garand (2001) and Metzger and others (2015). Isotopic and groundwater age data will be compared to historic and regional data published by Izbicki (2004) and Izbicki and Michel 2004. Groundwater chemistry data will be used to evaluate the suitability of water from wells for public supply with respect to nitrate, arsenic, fluoride, and other constituents. Groundwater chemistry, isotopic, and age-dating data will be used to determine the regional source(s), flow path(s), and age(s) of water from wells to understand the characteristics of the groundwater-flow system.

Task 3. Well-bore Flow Logging and Depth-Dependent Water-Quality Sampling Chemical concentrations in water samples collected from the surface discharge of long-screened production wells are representative of the mixture of water that entered the well’s screen from different depths. Samples collected within

Page 71 of 195 ends

5 the well under pumped conditions (depth-dependent samples), when coupled with well-bore-flow log (velocity) data, can be used to estimate the quality and quantity of water entering a well from selected depths within an aquifer. These data can aid in interpreting the hydraulic and chemical characteristics of aquifers with depth that contribute water to a given production well.

The TPWD routinely removes the pumps from production wells for maintenance purposes. Depth-dependent waterquality data and well-bore-flow logs will be collected from two selected TPWD production wells during this study.

While the production pump is removed, the wells are accessible for geophysical logging and depth-dependent sample collection. A temporary pump will be installed to facilitate the testing once the production pump is removed. Costs provided are for a 100 gallon per minute (gpm) temporary pump installed by USGS field crews. The cost may increase if a larger capacity pump is required for the test.

Geophysical logs to be collected within the wells once the production pump is removed include caliper, natural gamma, fluid resistivity, fluid temperature, and well-bore flow logs. Geophysical logs will be collected from each well under unpumped and pumped conditions using the temporary pump. Well-bore-flow logs (dynamic logs) will be collected at downward trolling rates of 5, 10, and 15 feet per minute (ft/min) under unpumped and pumped conditions. Data from the different trolling logs will be used for calibration purposes. Fully calibrated logs are generally accurate within ±6 percent (Izbicki, Teague, and others, 2015). Well-bore-flow logs (stationary logs or stop counts) also will be collected under unpumped and pumped conditions from specific depths within the well to confirm trolling log data.

Water-quality samples (including field-parameters, fluoride, chromium, arsenic, and the stable isotopes of water δ18O and δD) will be collected from depths within the well determined based on the geophysical-log data under pumped conditions. The chemistry of water entering the well from different depths within the aquifer will be calculated based on well-bore flow and depth-dependent samples collected within the well under pumped conditions using methods described by Izbicki and others (1999). Samples from the surface discharge of the temporary pump and from the deepest depth selected within the well will be analyzed for a more complete set of constituents including groundwater age-dating constituents (tritium and carbon-14).

Well-bore flow logs and water-chemistry data will be evaluated to understand flow and redistribution of chemical constituents through the well under unpumped and pumped conditions. Additional analyses will be proposed if warranted.

Work described in this proposal assumes that water generated during logging and sampling will be disposed of on-site.

Costs associated with this task are for two wells; some cost-savings could be realized if both wells are logged and sampled sequentially.

Task 4. Well-bore Flow and Transport Model
Well-bore flow and depth-dependent water quality data collected in Task 3 will be used in the computer program AnalyzeHOLE (Halford, 2009) to estimate changes in the quality of water yielded by a well over time as the distribution of flow into the changes as water levels decline, or as poor-quality water associated with septic discharges accumulates at the water table. AnalyzeHOLE integrates readily available groundwater flow and particle tracking models in a comprehensive tool for analyzing flow-logs, drawdowns, and water-quality changes.

Two commonly used methods to reduce contaminant concentrations in water from public-supply wells are treatment at the surface discharge or blending of high-contaminant concentration waters with water from another source having lower contaminant concentrations. Another method is modification of the well to exclude water from depths having undesirable concentrations of contaminants (Izbicki and others, 2008; Halford and others, 2010). Well-bore scale simulations can be used to estimate aquifer hydraulic properties and predict changes in well-bore flow and water quality through time that may limit sustainable pumping from the well as water levels decline. Simulation results can indicate if well modification would be an effective approach to ensuring water quality meets the MCLs set by the State of California and the EPA and may indicate when more expensive treatment methods need to be installed to ensure the quality of water from wells is suitable for public supply.

6 Task 5. Surface-Geophysical Data Collection
Surface geophysical surveys will be done to assess and refine the understanding of the subsurface structural boundaries of the subbasins in the vicinity of the City. These surveys will include gravity data and the collection of selected surface-geophysical data using other methods.

Gravity-data collection will include about 100 field relative gravity measurements. Subsurface-density variation caused by vertical offsets in basement material, changes in alluvial thickness, and differences in water-table altitude across ground-water barriers can be detected using standard gravity analysis techniques. Data will initially be collected in a gridded pattern to characterize large-scale subsurface structural features within the groundwater basin. Data will be used to generate a residual gravity anomaly map showing subsurface density variation. Areas with high gravity gradients likely indicate locations of vertical offsets in basement or changes in the water table across faults. Based on the initial gravity-data collection and existing geologic data, additional surficial-gravity data may be collected at a finer scale along selected cross-sections near structural features identified within the basin. These areas will be targeted for further investigation using more detailed surface-geophysical techniques, discussed below. In addition to the gravity anomaly map, personnel from the USGS Geology, Mineral, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center will process available gravity data to develop alluvial thickness and depth to (gravity) basement maps of the study area using well logs to ‘ground truth’ the results.

If conditions are suitable, additional surface-geophysical data may be collected at locations identified based on surficial-gravity data using direct-current resistivity or time-domain electromagnetic (TDEM) induction, depending on site conditions at the areas of interest. These more detailed data will be collected along sections developed to more fully characterize subsurface features identified in the gravity survey. Surficial gravity and detailed surficial-geophysical data will be used to identify locations for test drilling and well installation done as task 5 of this study.

Task 6. Multiple-Well Monitoring Site Installation and Data Collection- (funding currently not available for this task)
A multiple-well monitoring site containing four wells within a single borehole will be installed at a location to be determined, based largely on the gravity data and any additional surface-geophysical data that is collected. The borehole will be drilled by the USGS Research Drilling Program drill rig and crew using mud-rotary techniques to a depth of approximately 1,000 ft. A suite of geophysical logs including caliper, electrical resistivity (16-in and 64-in normal), electromagnetic (EM) resistivity, natural gamma will be collected to characterize the subsurface and guide well installation. Monitoring wells within the borehole will be separated by low-permeability bentonite grout seals pumped into the borehole. Wells will be developed to remove drilling mud initially using the drill rig, with final development using an air compressor.

The lithology of drill cuttings from the well will be described using standard techniques. Additionally, the particle-size distribution of the drill cuttings will be measured optically using instruments within the San Diego office (Fritsch International, 2013). The elemental composition of drill cuttings will be measured using portable (handheld) energydispersive X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) in the San Diego Office (Groover, 2016). The pXRF has the capability to measure 27 major, minor, and trace elements. Lithologic, geophysical logs, and pXRF data will be used to evaluate differences in the elemental composition of aquifer materials with depth with respect to geologic provenance including source and depositional history. The elemental composition of aquifer materials will be compared with the elemental composition of source terranes contributing alluvium to the basin. pXRF data will be interpreted using techniques, including multivariate statistical analysis, described by Groover and Izbicki (2019) to determine the geologic provenance (source) of aquifer materials and the potential for these materials to contain arsenic and other naturally occurring constituents of concern. Evaluation of the potential for these materials to contribute arsenic or fluoride to groundwater is discussed in Task 8.

Water-level data from the wells will be collected quarterly and the water quality will be sampled once after installation (for this study) to evaluate depth-specific water quality. Water from the wells will be sampled for field parameters, major and minor ions, selected trace elements (including arsenic, chromium, and uranium), the stable isotopes δ18O and δD, and age-dating constituents, including tritium and carbon-14 (Table 1). Costs presented within this proposal are for a single multiple-well site. Significant cost savings can be realized if drilling materials can be disposed of on-site or at an alternate site made available by the City. Additional boreholes may be drilled at the cooperator’s request if

Page 73 of 195 ends

7 funding is available. Additional boreholes would allow characterization of depth-specific changes in water levels, aquifer properties, and groundwater chemistry (including isotopic composition and age) across subsurface features that may restrict flow within aquifers of interest.

Task 7. Nitrate Loads and Transformations in the Unsaturated Zone The hydraulic and chemical properties of the unsaturated-zone beneath residential areas with onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS: septic tanks) in the Mesquite Springs subbasin will be characterized using two unsaturatedzone monitoring sites drilled to slightly below the water table, estimated to be between 70 and 200 feet below land surface. Significant cost savings can be realized by utilizing a site with a shallower water table. The sites will be near a large and long-operating septic field and smaller, less dense septic field.

The borehole at selected sites will be drilled using the overburden drilling exploration (ODEX) method (Hammermeister and others 1986), which uses air instead of water as the drilling fluid; therefore, the water content and matric potential of the unsaturated zone (and samples collected from the unsaturated zone) are minimally altered during drilling. A suite of geophysical logs (including natural gamma, neutron, and electromagnetic-resistivity logs) will be collected from the borehole after drilling. Drill cuttings will be collected every foot to define the lithology and stratigraphy at the site.

Specific conductance measurements will be made in the field on extracts from drill cuttings. These data will help determine if there are any low-permeability layers may retard the downward movement of OWTS effluent. Perched (saturated) conditions that develop on these low permeability layers may promote reduction of nitrate if locally reduced conditions are present (Umari and others, 1993; Izbicki, Flint, and others, 2015).

Two-foot-long cores will be collected every five feet from the boreholes. Core material will be analyzed for physical properties and chemical constituents. Physical properties to be measured include gravimetric water content, bulk density, and matric potential. Physical properties will be analyzed in the USGS San Diego Office laboratory using gravimetric methods for water content and bulk density. The volumetric water content will be calculated from bulk density and gravimetric water content data. Matric potential will be measured gravimetrically using the filter paper technique (Campbell and Gee, 1986). Water extracts from cuttings will be prepared in the San Diego office and analyzed for soluble anions including chloride, fluoride, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, and sulfate using ionchromatography at the NWQL (Izbicki and others, 2000). Physical property data and chemical data (nitrate and chloride concentrations) will be used to evaluate the depth of penetration of OWTS effluent in the unsaturated zone and the mass of nitrate stored within the unsaturated zone. Matric potential data will be used to confirm that OWTS effluent is draining down towards the water table. Water content data will be used with chemical data to estimate chloride and nitrate concentrations within the unsaturated zone and the concentrations of these constituents reaching the water table.

The sites will be instrumented with a water-table piezometer equipped with a submersible pressure transducer to measure water levels in the shallow saturated zone. Three suction-cup lysimeters will be installed in the unsaturated zone at the shallowest depth believed to yield water based on drilling data, just above the water table and at the water table. An additional suction-cup lysimeter will be installed in the saturated zone below the depth of the piezometer. A road-rated vault, approximately 2-by-3-ft, will enclose the borehole at land surface. Upon completion, groundwater samples will be collected from the piezometers and suction-cup lysimeters. The piezometer samples will be analyzed for major and minor ions, selected trace elements (including fluoride, chromium, and arsenic), nutrients (including nitrate), dissolved organic carbon, wastewater indicators, and the stable isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen. The piezometer samples also will be analyzed for the stable oxygen and nitrogen isotope ratios of nitrate (δO18-NO3 and δ15N-NO3, respectively), and for dissolved gasses (including dissolved argon and nitrogen gas) to support interpretations of nitrogen isotopic data. Samples also will be collected and analyzed for the stable nitrogen isotope ratio of ammonia (δ15
N-NH4, if present). Samples from the suction-cup lysimeters will be analyzed for similar constituents assuming they produce sufficient water for analyses. It may be necessary to composite water from several samples to obtain sufficient volume for analyses.

Water samples also will be collected from within the OWTS holding tank and from the OWTS discharge mechanism (assuming it can be accessed). These samples will be analyzed for the same constituents as water from the piezometers, including the stable oxygen and nitrogen isotope ratios of nitrate (if present) and the stable nitrogen isotope ratio of ammonia. Samples from the OWTS holding tank and discharge will be compared with data from the water-table piezometer to determine nitrogen losses within the unsaturated and upper part of the saturated zone.

8 Data will be compared to similar data collected elsewhere in the Mojave Desert (Umari and others, 1993; Izbicki, Flint, and others, 2015) to evaluate the representativeness of the site and processes that act to remove nitrate from OWTS discharges. The mass of nitrate stored within the unsaturated zone will be compared to literature values for similar settings and evaluated with respect to the age and density of the septic system and the magnitude of septic discharges (estimated in the following section) to evaluate how nitrate presently stored within the unsaturated zone may impact future water quality within the basin.

Task 8. Estimates of Septic-Tank Discharge and Nutrient Flux Within the Twentynine Palms area there are no large-scale public wastewater treatment systems and businesses and residences typically rely on private OWTS to treat wastewater. These OWTS can contribute to water quality issues in groundwater basins when wastewater is discharged into the ground. Estimates will be made of septic tank discharge using land use, population, and infrastructure data. The timing of residential development, the age of septic tanks, and the timing of septic discharges in the area will be estimated. These data will be used with other data collected during the study to investigate and estimate nutrient flux into the local groundwater systems due to the use of OWTS. The results from Izbicki, Flint, and others (2015) will be adapted to this area to estimate the lag in recharge from more recently installed OWTS and the lag in the water table drainage from existing OWTS to the water table.

Task 9. Arsenic and Fluoride Within Aquifer Materials and Groundwater (funding currently not available for this task)
In groundwater worldwide, arsenic and fluoride are the two geogenic (naturally occurring) contaminants of greatest public-health concern (World Health organization, 2006; Johnson and others, 2017). Although arsenic concentrations in the surface discharge of public supply wells are less than the maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 10 micrograms per liter (µg/L; Metzger and others, 2015), some intervals penetrated by wells may contain arsenic concentrations that exceed the MCL. The MCL set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) for fluoride is 4 milligrams per liter (mg/L) while the State of California set the MCL at 2 mg/L. Fluoride concentrations in water from wells in the Twentynine Palms area can exceed 5 mg/L (Metzger and others, 2015) and is of concern to local water purveyors. The TPWD is currently required to remove fluoride from water pumped from the Twentynine Palms Valley groundwater basin and has been granted a temporary variance for water produced in the Joshua Tree groundwater basin. Highfluoride concentrations in groundwater may result from a combination of geologic source materials, aqueous geochemistry, and hydrologic factors that include the migration of fluid from underlying aquifer zones near faults.

Worldwide, the most common arsenic-containing mineral is arsenopyrite (Smedley and Kinniburgh, 2002). Common fluoride-containing minerals include fluorite and fluorapatite (Dixon and Weed, 1989). These minerals are dense with specific gravities of 3.2 or greater. Arsenopyrite has a metallic luster and fluorite and fluorapatite fluoresces blue under ultraviolet (UV) light. Drill cuttings and samples of surficial alluvium will be sorted by density to isolate the heavy (dense) mineral fraction. The heavy mineral fraction will be examined optically and hand-sorted to obtain arsenopyrite and fluorite mineral grains. The morphology of these mineral grains will be examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to identify features consistent with weathering (dissolution pits and weathering rinds). The elemental composition of the minerals of interest will be obtained using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) interfaced with the SEM. Mineralogic and SEM data will be evaluated with respect to mineral saturation indexes calculated using the computer program PHREEQC (Parkhurst and others, 2013) to determine if arsenic-containing and fluoride-containing minerals are dissolving within the aquifer, thereby releasing these constituents, or if these constituents are derived from other sources such as fluid movement from underlying aquifer zones. pXRF data from drill cuttings collected as part of this study and from surficial alluvium samples will be collected to evaluate geologic source terrains that may have contributed arsenic and fluoride to aquifer materials. Arsenic data will be compared with regional surface-sorptive chemistry to evaluate surface-sorptive processes that may control arsenic concentrations in groundwater under differing pH and redox conditions. These data will be used with existing geologic data, and subsurface geologic, geophysical (Groover and Izbicki, 2018; Izbicki and others, in review), and geochemical data collected as part of this study to identify areas and aquifer lithologies that may contribute high concentrations of arsenic and fluoride to wells in the Twentynine Palms area.

9 Task 10. Estimates of Basin Recharge
Groundwater recharge occurs as the result of infiltration of water through the unsaturated zone or movement from one aquifer to another. The Joshua Tree groundwater basin is isolated from other nearby groundwater basins by the Yucca barrier to the west and the Pinto Mountain Fault to the east and receives limited amounts of mountain-front recharge from the Pinto Mountains. Groundwater recharge from precipitation is small or non-existent in this arid area, leaving recharge from septic discharge and mountain-fronts as primary sources of recharge in the basin. The quantification and tracking of recharged water are important to understanding the source of constituents in groundwater and the spatial trends in groundwater quality. The Basin Characterization Model (BCM; Flint and others, 2021) provides natural recharge estimates based on a monthly, gridded, regional water-balance model; the results provide an estimate of the spatial distribution of recharge across the basins over time that can be used to assess the potential for chemical transport through the unsaturated zone. (Funding currently not available for this sub- task) BCM may overestimate groundwater recharge from mountain front processes in desert areas (Faunt and others, 2015). Field data will be compared with BCM simulation results to constrain estimates of groundwater recharge calculated using BCM. Field data to constrain BCM estimates of recharge will be collected from four shallow borings to about 50 feet below land surface within selected washes. Two washes will be identified, and an upstream and downstream core site will be selected in each wash. These sites will be identified from areas identified by the BCM as potential recharge sites. Cuttings from these cores will be analyzed for chloride and matric potential using techniques discussed previously. The concentration of chlorides at various depths within each core will be used along with water potential measurements to indicate where mountain front recharge is occurring and if it is penetrating to below the root zone and ultimately to below the water table. Comparisons of BCM estimates of ground water recharge with field chloride and matric potential data will be used to determine if recharge from infiltration of streamflow actually occurs along selected stream reaches and if BCM estimates of recharge need to be modified.

Task 11. Data Documentation, Reporting, Interpretation, and Publications Well-construction data, borehole-geophysical logs, water-quality data (including extractions from core material and cuttings) will be publicly available in on-line USGS data repositories, such as the National Water Information System (NWIS; https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis) and GeoLog Locator (https://webapps.usgs.gov/geologlocator/#!/). Reporting will include creating and maintaining a project web page, which will show study progress and be a centralized location to access the data collected during the study. It will provide direct links to access the data on NWIS and ScienceBase (https://www.sciencebase.gov), where a data release describing the well construction data, surface-geophysical data and well-bore model will reside.

An interpretive report describing the physical and hydrologic characteristics of the Twentynine Palms groundwater basin, groundwater chemistry within the basin, and nitrate loads and transformations of the unsaturated zone associated with OWTS discharges will be prepared and published as a USGS Scientific Investigation Report. It will include evaluation of the data collected to evaluate the presence of high concentrations of arsenic and fluoride known to be present within the study area. The report will focus on present-day conditions, including estimates of present-day groundwater recharge and the age of water from wells with respect to the sustainability of groundwater withdrawals from the basin.

QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL
Water-quality data collection from groundwater sampling locations will follow the policies described in the Quality Assurance Plan for Water Quality Activities of the California Water Science Center. Quality control (QC) samples will include equipment blanks, field blanks, and sequential replicate samples. The number of quality-assurance samples will be about 15 percent of the number of water-quality samples collected for this study. As the number of water-quality samples may vary, dependent on a number of factors including access to sampling locations, time available for sampling, and changes in scope following initial data collection and analysis, the exact number of blank and replicate samples is currently estimated. Blank samples will be collected using blank water certified by the USGS National Water Quality Laboratory (NWQL). Field blanks will be collected at the field site under the same conditions as environmental samples. Data will be documented and released according to the Open Data policies. Water level data will be reviewed according to USGS policies and procedures and as described in the CAWSC Quality-Assurance Plan for Groundwater Activities, prior to archival in NWIS.

Page 76 of 195 ends

10 Water-quality sampling will be designed and executed following procedures described in the Quality Assurance Plan for Water Quality Activities of the California Water Science Center. Field measurements of temperature, pH, specific conductance, and alkalinity (Table 1) will be recorded and entered into NWIS. Samples will be processed following techniques described in the USGS National Field Manual (USGS, variously dated). Constituents for sampling and laboratory analysis include: DOC, nutrients, silica, select major/minor ions and trace elements, and carbon-14 age dating (NWQL); water isotopes, nitrate isotopes, and tritium (USGS Stable Isotope Lab, Reston, VA). Environmental water-quality samples collected will be added for quality control purposes based on the current understanding of the quality of the data. These samples will include equipment blanks, field blanks, and sequential replicates, and will be targeted for selected analyte groups as needed.

DOC, nutrient, and trace element results from the NWQL will be reviewed in context with project QC samples (blanks and replicates) to determine whether sampling procedures biased any results. Any environmental samples >10% different from replicate samples will be considered for rejection if the source of the difference cannot be identified.

Any environmental samples associated with blank hits over two times the laboratory reporting level will be qualified prior to approval or rejected. In addition, nutrient blind samples analyzed at the NWQL by the Quality Systems Branch (QSB) will be utilized to evaluate laboratory performance over the project and any samples analyzed during a timeframe when the laboratory may have introduced bias of ±5 percent will be re-analyzed if possible or rejected if reruns at NWQL are not possible due to holding time violations.

Stable isotope results from the Reston Stable Isotope Lab (RSIL) will be reviewed in context with project QC samples (blanks and replicates) to determine if sampling procedures biased any results. Any environmental samples >10% different from replicate samples will be considered for rejection if the source of the difference cannot be identified. In addition, daily reference waters stored in LIMS-LSI will be utilized to evaluate laboratory performance and samples analyzed during a timeframe when the laboratory may have introduced bias of ±5 percent will be re-analyzed if possible or rejected if reruns at the RSIL are not possible due to holding time violations. Tritium and carbon isotopes results will be reviewed in context with replicate QC samples to determine if sampling procedures biased any results.

As part of the data analysis and quality-assurance Data-Quality Indicator codes will be set appropriately following standard USGS data verification and validation procedures prior to archival in NWIS.

LABORATORY EVALUATION PLAN
All water quality samples will be sent to the NWQL or RSIL. Results obtained from water, air, sediment, and environmental samples analyzed at USGS and other analytical laboratories and published in USGS information products must meet the documentation standards required in the USGS manual. NWQL, NWQL contract laboratories, and laboratories accredited to relevant national or international standards (introduced in OWQ Technical Memorandum 2002.05) are classified as Level 1 for methods that subscribe to either the Branch of Quality Systems (BQS) Blind Sample Projects or other independent proficiency test (PT) sample studies for the analytes of interest. Additionally, laboratories that provide project analytical results with directly corresponding set- or run-specific internal qualitycontrol data and information may be considered Level 1 when the targeted analytes, quality controls, and analytical performance meet project objectives.

The USGS manual requires the documentation of data quality and is the basis for this memorandum. This memorandum describes how Fundamental Science Practices are met for laboratory results and reiterates the need for review and approval of results obtained from service laboratories as a policy of the WMA. This policy applies to results provided to WMA supported projects by USGS laboratories and other laboratories. This memorandum recommends flexible and relatively simple guidelines for assessing laboratory capability that relies, in most cases, on performance data and information rather than laboratory inspections. This guidance can be applied in combination with a user’s knowledge about a service laboratory and method performance to produce confidence in results.

The USGS must evaluate the laboratory data we use to ensure that it meets the requirements of our projects and programs, as per OWQ TM 2007.01. CAWSC staff may follow an abridged process that fulfills the USGS policy objectives in a manner both practical and beneficial to our projects. Guidance for the abridged process is divided into three steps:

Page 77 of 195 ends

11 1. Document the project specific DQOs for laboratory performance.

2. Monitor laboratory performance through the use of QC data.

3. Prepare and submit laboratory evaluation package for review and approval.

PRODUCTS
A project web site will be created to provides links to the data collected and updates on progress made during the study (see Task 11 for details). A final report summarizing the findings of the project will be provided to the City of Twentynine Palms in the form of a USGS Scientific Investigations Report. Data that are not able to be stored in NWIS will be released as a USGS data release. All scientific and technical reports and publications will undergo USGS internal review.

In accordance with the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989, City Staff established the Twentynine Palms Tourism Business Improvement District (“TBID”) to levy and collect assessments from all hotels, motels, and vacation home rentals, and any other business providing transient occupancies and subject to the City’s Transit Occupancy Tax, within the boundaries of the City, to raise funds to promote tourism within the City.

The TBID is managed by an Advisory Board, which was appointed by City Council. The Advisory Board is required to submit an annual report to Council, which includes a budget for operations and an identification of marketing efforts to be undertaken by the TBID for the ensuing fiscal year. Activities funded by the levy of assessments generally include marketing programs to promote Twentynine Palms as an overnight tourism destination, including marketing, advertising, public relations and other related activities as determined by the Advisory Board. The City

Page 83 of 195 ends

Manager is authorized to make expenditures that are consistent with the annual budget approved by the Advisory Board and City Council.

The assessment is proposed to be levied on all existing and future hotel businesses within the City at a rate of 1.5% per occupied room night rate. The “room night rate” is calculated as the base room rate charged to the occupant prior to application of the City’s Transient Occupancy Tax. Note, the assessment will only apply to transient occupancies that are already subject to Transient Occupancy Tax, and will be in addition to the City’s Transient Occupancy Tax. For instance, a hotel room with a base room rate of $100 (not including any other taxes or fees), the TBID assessment would be 1.5% or $1.50, and the TOT would be an additional 9% or $9.00 (so the total room rate with TBID assessment and TOT would be $110.50 plus any other applicable taxes and fees). The TBID is anticipated to collect $285,000 in its sixth year of operation. Staff would spend the funds raised as directed by the Advisory Board to promote tourism in Twentynine Palms as well as operating the City's Visitor Center. Any funds remaining at the end of any term, approximately $180K remaining from cumulative reserves (savings) would be used in subsequent years, subject to the requirements of the attached TBID Ordinance No. 278, which was adopted by City Council on May 23, 2017, and the TBID Ordinance.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

Not applicable.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council could reject the TBID Assessments.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed assessment of 1.5% on short term stays is anticipated to be $285,000 annually.

Established in October 2017 and branded as
Visit 29 Palms, the Twentynine Palms Tourism
Business Improvement District (TBID) is a nonprofit organization whose goal and objective is to promote Twentynine Palms as a tourism
destination and to drive overnight room
demand through creative marketing activities
and initiatives.

Formed through a public-private partnership
between the City of Twentynine Palms and
lodging operators and owners, Visit 29 Palms is
funded by the revenue generated by the selfassessed 1.5% tourism tax that is applied to all overnight room rates at the hotels, motels, RV
resort, and vacation rentals within the TBID’s
district. The Visit 29 Palms TBID’s district is
defined by the 58 square-mile boundary of the
incorporated City of Twentynine Palms and
includes all of the lodging properties within it.

The City of Twentynine Palms’ TBID is
administered by a 5-member Advisory Board
made up of lodging owners and operators
whose members are appointed by City Council.

The TBID Advisory board oversees the
development and implementation of an annual
tourism marketing plan and budget and
provides strategic guidance and direction to the
TBID staff. TBID staff also oversee and manage
the daily operation of the 29 Palms Visitor
Center.

3 Executive Summary
Tourism Business Improvement District Objectives and Goals Branded as Visit 29 Palms, the Twentynine Palms Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID) was created in October 2017 and is established under the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989. The Twentynine Palms TBID’s district is defined by the 58 square-mile boundary of the incorporated City of Twentynine Palms and includes lodging properties within it.

Formed through a public-private partnership between the City of Twentynine Palms and its lodging operators and owners, and funded entirely through the tax revenue generated by the self-assessed 1.5% TBID tax that is applied to room night rates at all hotels, motels, RV resorts and vacation rentals in Twentynine Palms, the goal and objective of the TBID is to promote the City as a tourist destination and drive overnight room demand through creative tourism marketing activities and initiatives.

The tax revenue generated by the TBID tourism tax is collected and reported on quarterly and may only be used for tourism marketing activities to promote the destination and drive overnight room demand within the district. The City of Twentynine Palms’ TBID is administered by a 5-member Advisory Board made up of lodging owners and operators whose members are appointed by City Council. The TBID Advisory board oversees the development and implementation of an annual tourism marketing plan and budget and provides strategic guidance and direction to the TBID staff.

Under the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989, the Twentynine Palms Tourism Business Improvement District renews annually, which is a process that takes place each September at the end of the TBID’s fiscal year which runs from October 1 through to September 30.

8 SWOT Analysis
Strength
• Surrounded by vast public lands that offer unparalleled outdoor recreation opportunities in the California desert region, Twentynine Palms welcomes visitors from over the globe who seek outdoor adventure.
• Offering the Morongo Basin’s most diverse collection of lodging options, Twentynine Palms continues to meet the varied needs and wants of today’s travelers. • The Twentynine Palms Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center serves as a major economic catalyst for the Morongo Basin and Twentynine Palms; visits by family members and friends of military personnel, civilian workers employed at the Combat Center, and business travelers and government officials, drive significant year-round demand for room nights for the lodging properties in Twentynine Palms. • Now completed, Freedom Plaza will continue to transform the city’s downtown area, inspiring new business development, providing a venue for large community events, and attracting more the National Park’s 3-million annual visitors to start their Joshua Tree adventure in Twentynine Palms.
• Scheduled for competition in either late 2023 or early 2024, a Hilton Home 2 Suites hotel will soon compliment Freedom Plaza and bring more travelers into the city, and directly into the developing downtown area.

Weakness
• While the city has seen growth in key tourist amenities such as retail, shopping, and restaurants, and a new event venue has been established, the city’s offerings still have much room for additional growth as compared to neighboring communities. • Direct public transportation to/from the Palm Springs and Ontario International airports remains limited.

Opportunities
• Designed to host a variety of types of community events, the newly completed Freedom Plaza space opens up tremendous opportunities to host large events.

Page 112 of 195 ends

9 • Twentynine Palms has a rich and unique history, with a growing arts and culture community that can be strategically marketed to increase tourism. • With stargazing and astronomy growing in popularity, Twentynine Palms is well positioned to attract visitors seeking to experience the dark night skies as the City borders an International Dark Sky Park (Joshua Tree National Park) and is home to Sky’s The Limit Observatory and Nature Center and the 29 Palms Astronomy Club. • Expansion of Twentynine Palms Tourism Business Improvement District to the east would increase the district’s short-term vacation rental inventory and TBID revenue and expand our destinations offerings of unique lodging options.

Threats
• New surges or emerging strains of COVID-19 can cause further disruption to travel and tourism, both domestically and internationally.
• The Twentynine Palms tourism industry is vulnerable to future Federal Government shutdowns which can impact activity at the Twentynine Palms Marine Corps Base and Joshua Tree National Park, two of the City’s biggest tourism drivers. • With an increasingly oversaturated short-term vacation rental market and new lodging properties such as Auto Camp in Joshua Tree set to open soon, there will be increased competition for the hospitality community in Twentynine Palms over the next year.
• Destructive natural disasters such as wildfires, monsoon rains and flash flooding can cause temporary closures and limited access to the area’s surrounding public lands and have long lasting impacts on the natural resources that travelers from all over the globe travel to see.

12 Branding and Positioning
A key strategy is branding, with the City of Twentynine Palms using several authentic themes that relate to this destination, such as a desert oasis, a weekend getaway, a desert wilderness experience, a health and fitness space, a place to unwind and relax, a city that cares about its people and planet. Diverse marketing programs need to be employed using several themes to promote the city.

The Visit 29 Palms brand should create a broad theme, that Visit 29 Palms is a rural outdoor desert adventure, in a Joshua Tree National Park gateway community, a unique desert outpost, for a great wilderness experience in the Mojave Desert. It offers wide-open spaces, dark night skies, unique lodging and accommodations, for activities such as bird watching, biking, rock climbing, hiking, photography, stargazing, and relaxation in harmony with the Mojave Desert.

The city as a brand also has unique history; it supports and embraces the home of the largest Marine Corps training base in the world and honors the military families that were pioneers of Twentynine Palms. The cultural history embraces the Indian tribes that were the first inhabitants of the city and many pioneering families that homesteaded the area.

Partnerships
City of Twentynine Palms: A key partnership for ensuring the success of the TBID is the primary relationship between the City of Twentynine Palms, its council members and administrative staff, and the TBID members, TBID Advisory Board and staff. Destination marketing efforts should be aligned with and supportive of the goals and objectives of the city, and both entities should collaborate to create a strong visitor-friendly experience in the destination.

Twentynine Palms Marine Base: Working together with MCCS and the Marine Corps base to assist Marines relocating to Twentynine Palms, especially during their season in June-August.

The military has active Welcome Aboard and relocation programs, and city and TBID marketing should utilize digital and print media to advertise events, attractions, lodging, and restaurants to bring them into the city.

Hospitality Businesses: Marketing efforts throughout the year need to be fairly distributed to support all products and services, and marketing campaigns need to have an inclusive element. A key strategic goal for the Visit 29 Palms TBID will be the continued development and expansion of a partnership program that will allow local businesses, restaurants, shops, and attractions to gain more exposure through the Visit 29 Palms marketing campaigns throughout the year. This is a key step in destination development and provide the TBID with an additional income stream throughout the year to support the tourism marketing efforts.

Travel and Tourism Industry Partners: Through building and maintaining relationships with key travel and tourism partners such as Visit California, Brand USA, Greater Palm Springs CVB, Visit San Bernardino County and Discover Inland Empire, Visit 29 Palms can leverage all available partnership opportunities, including those relating to media and PR support and outreach and promotion at both travel trade and travel consumer events.

13 Sustainability
Increase consumer awareness of environmentally friendly businesses in the City of Twentynine Palms. “The Natural Marketing Institute discovered that 58 percent of consumers consider a company’s impact on the environment in considering where to purchase goods and services, and are more likely to purchase from companies that practice sustainable habits. That translates into a client base of 68 million Americans who are favorably predisposed to companies showing positive track records in personal, social, and environmental values. The Cause Marketing Forum reports that consumers also favor companies that actively support their communities: businesses do well by doing good.” [News and Best Practices for Commercial & Industrial Environmental Professionals, https://www.environmentalleader.com/2016/03/6-benefits-of-becoming-a-sustainable-business/]

A destination that is renowned for sustainability has a competitive advantage, for example:
“The City of Twentynine Palms supports and protects its people and planet and profits.” For example: “Our National Park (Joshua Tree National Park) protects fauna, flora, land development, endangered species, and dark night skies.” “Our Hospitality Industry together with the city promotes recycling, water conservation, helping the local community by providing jobs for local residents and supporting organizations, such as the local artists of the region and the military troops that serve the U.S., and preserving the dark night sky by fostering good lighting practices.”
During the 2018/2019 partial government shutdown the Twentynine Palms Tourism Business Improvement District spearheaded community volunteer efforts for Joshua Tree National Park in Twentynine Palms, kicking off the efforts with a $200 donation for cleaning supplies.

The 29 Palms Visitor Center was a designated donation off location and coordinated more than 250 hours of volunteer support during the 35-day shutdown. Efforts were made to maintain the cleanliness of bathrooms and trailheads, and volunteers also assisted visitors in the park, sharing maps and park guides, and general information.

Goals: Increase recognition of leading environmentally friendly tourism businesses that support and encourage “green business in hospitality.” Encourage initiatives to reduce water consumption, especially by lodging and restaurants. Promote recycling and reduction in the use of plastic straws and single use plastics. Promote sustainable business travel products and be a responsible host; this promotes voluntary integration of environmental and social good practices in the hospitality business operations. Help educate and encourage local businesses to practice responsible lighting practices to reduce light pollution and help protect the dark desert sky.

Reduce the tourism industry’s carbon footprint.
• Encourage more bicycle lanes within the city. Shift towards the use of more environmentally friendly forms of transportation for tourism (buses, bicycles, foot and Ubers) both to and within tourist destinations.
• Work with relevant tourism agencies to identify ways to improve sustainable practices in tourism locations and visitor venues.
• Develop partnerships such as Mojave Desert Land Trust and Joshua Tree National Park Association.
• Minimize the production of waste, reduce the use of plastic, promote recycling, and assist the tourism industry to adapt to climate change.

18 their travel destinations and YouTube offers Visit 29 Palms a great opportunity to reach younger demographics and showcase the unique experiences that Twentynine Palms has to offer.

Key YouTube Opportunities for Visit 29 Palms:

1. With an already established YouTube channel, Visit 29 Palms must continue to create and publish original and engaging branded video content to promote the destination.

2. By utilizing YouTube’s in-platform paid advertising opportunities, Visit 29 Palms can effectively reach targeted audiences with its branded video content.

3. With website optimization and YouTube page optimization going hand-in-hand, increased attention and investment in Visit 29 Palms’ YouTube channel will also benefit Visit29.org by increasing visibility and driving new traffic.

Email Marketing
Visit 29 Palms will prioritize e-newsletter marketing programs to engage travel consumers, travel professionals, travel writers and bloggers, and invite visitors to Visit 29 Palms. A strategic goal will be to increase e-news subscribers by 15% over the course of the 2021- 2022 fiscal year and implement pop-up e-news tools on the Visit29.org website.

Visit 29 Palms currently uses a Constant Contact email-marketing program, with a base of 2,000+ leads from subscribers through Visit29.org, events, travel shows, and previous campaigns through Sunset magazine and California Road Trips. With new branding established, the Visit 29 Palms TBID will produce monthly emails, promoting weekend getaways, special events, and spotlights on attractions. Visit 29 Palms will also launch its partner email series, sending quarterly updates to all stakeholders and tourism partners.

Bloggers and Influencers
Working with bloggers and digital influencers is a key marketing strategy for building destination awareness and engaging with target markets. In many cases, for the price of a free night’s lodging or a meal or participation in or support of a FAM tour, earned media in the form of photos and travel articles or blogs by travel writers and bloggers can circulate nationally or internationally for months, if not years. As a strategic goal for 2022-2023, Visit 29 Palms will look to host one blogger/influence per quarter.

Broadcast & Out of Home Media
Broadcast media marketing programs for 2022-2023 will primarily focus on digital billboard advertising and Internet radio campaigns. Visit 29 Palms will continue its ongoing campaigns at Palm Springs International Airport and will look to expand efforts at Ontario International Airport and explore opportunities at the Tijuana Airport/CBX border crossing.

Twentynine Palms Visitor Center
The Twentynine Palms Tourism Business Improvement District will continue to operate the City’s Visitor Center and will continue to work in partnership with the Public Arts Advisory Committee (PAAC) to host the quarterly Art in Public Places exhibitions. The Visitor Center provides a variety of vital visitor resources for out-of-town guests, including maps and

19 brochures, displays highlighting the city’s history and culture, and information on upcoming events.

Administration
Tourism Business Improvement District Advisory Board
The 5-member TBID Advisor Board must consist of owners and operators of lodging properties in the city and must have balanced representation from all segments of the city’s market, including large national brand hotels, independent hotels/motels, and vacation home rentals. The Advisory Board is appointed by City Council and has an elected Chair, and Vice Chair.

Subcommittees
Subcommittees made up of no more than two Advisory Board members can be formed to help support special projects and initiatives. Subcommittees have previously been created to support the TBID’s annual meeting, and the TBID’s marketing budget and plan development. The TBID had identified the need to develop additional subcommittees in 2022-2023 to assist with event and partner program development.

Staff
Reporting directly to the City Manager and TBID Advisory Board, the TBID’s Director of Marketing is responsible for day-to-day marketing activities and the execution of the annual marketing plan and budget. The TBID’s Director of Marketing also oversees and manages all contract services as well as the daily operations of the City’s Visitor Center and its staff.

Finance
TBID tax revenue generated by the self-assessed 1.5% tourism tax is collected and held by the finance department at the City of Twentynine Palms who assists with all aspects of financial reporting for the Visit 29 Palms Tourism Business Improvement District.

Contract Services
In support the TBID’s execution of its strategic marketing goals and objectives, contract services will be utilized in the 2022-2023 fiscal year. These services will include support in video/content development, social media management, and website development. Firms or individuals hired to provide contract services for the Visit 29 Palms TBID report to and work directly with the TBID’s Director of Marketing.

BACKGROUND:

In 2016, the City of Twentynine Palms completed a street pavement condition survey which included driving and evaluating all 152 miles of the City's maintained streets. This survey is used to develop a comprehensive database called the City's Pavement Management System (PMS). The PMS is a tool to provide standardized pavement repair strategies that maximize the City's limited street repair budget.

Since 2016, the City has overlaid and seal coated 86.7 miles of its 152 miles of roads.

Though it is recommended that a new survey is completed on all City streets every 5 years, this year, it was determined that the road segments on the current PMS listing are substantially in the same range of condition, and priority as they were in 2016 when the streets were inspected and rated. Streets that were resurfaced, (overlayed, slurry sealed, or chip sealed) since 2016 are now categorized as “completed" and are currently a low priority. See attached "completed" listing. Additionally, attached is the list of the remaining street segments and their priority.

The Pavement Condition Index is a rating on the street's condition listing ranging from 45-100. 100 is the rating of a brand new or newly resurfaced street. The average pavement condition index for the entire 152 miles of roads in Twentynine Palms was 91.9.

The general overall pavement condition rating of the remaining 65.7 miles of city-maintained roads may have been reduced a few points due to the aging of the roads during the past 5 years, which, may lower

Page 145 of 195 ends

the overall average Pavement Condition Index for the City. However, the roads that have been resurfaced since 2016 have offset this reduction by increasing the overall pavement condition index.

These offsetting conditions, both increased Pavement Condition Indexes for the work performed and lower Pavement Conditions Indexes due to aging pavement since 2016, generally, cancel each other out, and the overall city-wide pavement conditions index rating was determined to be essentially the same overall.
