Introduction of Sherrye Ryan, Big League Dreams, General Manager, by Kevin Flora, Vice President - Park Operations. Update on Big League Dreams and upcoming NCAA fast pitch tournament February 21st - 24th, 2013. (A. Hall) j 1 Kevin Flora, V.P. of Operations at Big League Dreams - Odera Ranch, Orange County. Kevin introduced newly appointed Sheerye Ryan to everyone, advising that she had been with Big League Dreams for about 10 years, she had done marketing, Food and Beverage manager, she is now the I new G.M. /Food and Beverage. she is a "Jane" of all trades right now Mayor DeRosa gave a warn r welcome to Sheerye. We know that February 21 -24th is the Annual NCAA Championship Toumament. Why don't you tell us a little about it? This is a Cathedral City Classic, and is as big is as ever. We have 35 teams of the top NCAA Collegiate fast pitch, so we have teams like UCLA, Florida, and we can go on and on. It is literally become the prestigious event outside of their t College Bowl series. We have signed a new three year agreement, so they are happy to come back to Cathedral City, it has been a win win, the spectator crowds keep getting bigger, and bigger. i. It is an amazing event. Mayor DeRosa told them about Shorty's Rib Fest over that week end and t hoped that they would support the Chamber as well, they can do both events. I Bud • et Fiscal Year End 2012 and Mid- ear 2013 review. T. Scott Tami Scott - Gave a review of what has been happening with the RDA and Successor Agency. Ms. n Scott reviewed and overview of 2011 -2012 results of audit completed in January 2013. She then gave an overview of where we are in the first six months this year. She reminded everyone that our Fiscal Year is July 1 thru June 30 and that the abbreviated reports, the numbers used were E representative of dollars in the millions. t City Council /Staff reports and inquiries of new or ongoing projects. Bill Simons, City Engineer. Mr. Simons advised that next week we will be advertising Ramon Road Bids, we will open bids on March 21, 213 and will be coming to Council for a contract on March 27th. Construction should begin the end of April and completed mid - August. We have been working closely with Lynn and the Chamber to do outreach for the businesses along the Ramon Corridor, to let them know what is going to happen and when it will happen, and how it could impact K them. We also have the Ramon Road East Landscape Improvements that Council awarded a cw contract last month. I today received word from CVWD that within the next 10 days they should , have the water meters all installed. The Contractor will have the opportunity to actually start work and he will be out there starting work next week. The other project that is on your agenda tonight, is i 5:00 p.m. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY COUNCIL SERVING AS THE SUCCES... 1 the improvements at Date Palm and Vista Chino. That is the section, unfortunately, omitted from the Interchange Project, we have a contractor that if you award the contract tonight, we will get started in the next month or so to provide a dedicated right turn lane for south bound traffic on Date Palm on to Vista Chino and widen that intersection so that it will accommodate the new traffic. Council Member Henry asked a question about a dedicated lane and Mr. Simons responded in the f affirmative. 1 I Pat Milos - Community Development Director. For about the last six months we have been working on synchronization of signals on Date Palm south of Ramon to East Palm Canyon and on East 1 1 Palm Canyon from Van Fleet east to the City Limits. The progress on that is to the point now where i the mechanical equipment has been installed. You will see tonight on the Consent Agenda that there is an item to release to Stiney and Company, retention funds for that equipment. Next phase of that project will be the engineering part of it. This is where we will actually go out and do the j i traffic counts, using some of the studies we have done in the past and actually start putting the i lights in a synchronization state. We expect that to take probably 60 -90 days but we do expect to f see a vast improvement in that corridor. At the end of that project that will finish a phase of what we will be bringing to you in the future, that is the master synchronization plan. That will include the three corridors throughout the city, East Palm Canyon, Ramon Road, and the Date Palm Corridor. The remaining part of that Master Plan will be budgeted during the next budget cycle. Also wanted to talk a little about the East Palm Canyon beautification project. Several months ago we identified t several locations throughout the city that thought were critical to the economic development of the city. We started on East Palm Canyon at the area of Date Palm and East Palm Canyon and that will be done phased, in a manageable way so everything is not all torn up at the same time. The first phase was the middle median that leads to the artwork that is on East Palm Canyon. The concrete is poured and the plants will go in this week and there will be some lighting there, will be done by the end of next week. We will move on to a couple of the parkways and phasing through there , that is progressing. The only other thing I have is Shortie's Rib Fest on February 22 and 23rd. Have been in contact with the events planner, as well as with Lynn from the Chamber, we think we have a (1, very workable set up out there. The Radio group has been involved in it. It is a first time event that we hope will become an annual event. We are trying to engineer as many problems out of it as 1 possible. Again it goes hand in hand with the NCAA. Council Member Henry commented that Date Palm and East Palm Canyon looked good so far. Mayor DeRosa thanked Mr. Milos for the report. r Fire Chief Van Nortrick - Chief reported he wanted to advise the council of an update to the staffing of his department. He was able to work with the City Manager and Ms. Scott and we were able to utilize some salary savings from a vacant position, along with some overtime, and we are running at i, 10 per day and keeping all three fire stations opened. I want to be cautious when we say this because things could change, I hopefully don't want to end up back where we were, however, s hopefully we can get thru this and look at a long term solution for the staffing. fr RECESS i Hearing no furthur business to come before Study Session Mayor DeRosa recessed the meeting at 6:56 p.m. Mayor did offer congratulations to Eric Houser of the Fire Department on his promotion, very well deserved, and long time in coming. t t REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY COUNCIL SERVING AS THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD - Council Chamber -- Third Floor of City Hall. 68700 Avenida Lalo Guerrero, Cathedral City, CA 92234 - WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2013. 6:30 p.m. i 1 CALL TO ORDER i Mayor DeRosa called the Regular portion of the meeting to Order at 6:57 p.m. i c ily PRESENTATIONS AND PROCLAMATIONS , i i i t 5:00 p.m. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY COUNCIL SERVING AS THE SUCCES... i 1 :, Le City Clerk Hammers administered the Oath of Office to newly appointed Fire Chief Robert Van Nortrick.

Tami, in that exhaustive six month budget outline I didn't see anything for unfunded Pension liabilities. Do you know what they are, by chance? Mayor DeRosa reminded Mr. Mueller that he has to address the City Council, and the Chair specifically. You know the rules of how we operate.. Mr. Mueller responded, he thinks he knows the answer, it is 42 million dollars that we owe in pension liabilities. That is only one debt, that represents about 130% of our GP( ?)? this is something that is going to consume this city as it has some 30 cities already. I don't know I why that was omitted, there is a minimum that we owe the state or PERS which is four million dollars a year, and I don't even believe we even make that payment. So I am wondering why that was omitted from the budget? Thank -you. ' " x Hearing no one else wishing to speak Mayor DeRosa closed Public Comments. 1 I AGENDA FINALIZATION i At this time, the City Council and /or the Redevelopment Agency Board may announce any items being ( pulled from the agenda or continued to another date. At this time, the City Council may announce any items being continued, tabled or struck. t URGENCY ITEMS I i Urgency Items ( "Added Starters'): The Brown Act, which governs public meetings, permits the City Council to take action on any item that does not appear on the agenda only if 2/3 of the Council (if all are present) or all members of the Council (if fewer than all members are present) determine there is a need to take immediate action on the item, and the need to take immediate action came to the City Council's attention ` after the agenda is posted. COUNCIL COMMENTS I Council Members' comments on items not on the agenda. Council Member Henry - I just want to say, the short time I have been on Council, I still have contact with a lot of citizens and the employees are doing a great job. We have bright places in the city. Council Member Pettis - I have been in Washington, D.C. representing one of the other agencies that I sit on, and had the opportunity to meet with our Congressman Ruiz, Lowenthal from Long Beach and Cook from Yucca Valley. In separate meetings we were talking on Transportation 1 issues, goods movement, freight plan, but we were able to also talk about the passenger rail here in f the Coachella Valley and throughout the Southern California Region. How the Federal Government is going to be able to help with that. Especially as it relates to expanding the freight lines to allow for passenger rail service. Also met with Senator Boxer's staff with the same discussion. In those ( meetings I had an opportunity to talk about a couple finance mechanisms the cities have used in f budget discussions. Mortgage Interest deductions, people can take for their home mortgages, there is a lot of talk that might be going away as part of the Federal Budget deals. We talked about that E and how important that is especially in the Coachella Valley for home buyers, especially for those f with second homes. Today I was asked to participate in a conference call with several members of 1 C W the National League of Cities with David Agnew from the Presidents staff, and we talked a great deal about interest deductions for Municipal Bonds. How important that is for cities to be able to do i f i I L I i I i 5:00 p.m. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY COUNCIL SERVING AS THE SUCCES... I I co the major infrastructure work. We want to make sure that those two, mortgage interest as well as the interest on Municipal Bonds stay within the Federal Budget so that we can allow our residents I these to continue to do a lot of work that they have been doing. In one of the sessions that I participated at the conference that I was at, the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration shared with us a group study on communities that are doing good things on livability. The Mayor of Santa Monica nudged me to turn to page 13 in the book. So I turned to page 13 in the book and the first case study was the City of Cathedral City and the work that was done on Palm Canyon Street scape. I really noticed because Deanna Pressgrove is now in charge t of Public Works, she is the awards person so she got that. It really was because of the work of Pat Milos, and the Planning that was done with Dale Boles before that. The fact that both Federal I Highway and Federal Transit is using Cathedral City throughout the country and being the first one being talked about, was a huge feather for our community. Mayor Pro Tem Vasquez - Advised that he had attended Landau Elementary for the Sports awards, it was a great day and all the kids had opportunities to participate in track and field and also softball events. Council Member Pettis and I attended the Bands Annual Fundraiser Dinner, Silent Auction and Concert. They did the first ever Student Fashion show, which was a little annoying when Greg and I sat there and they were talking about the different sizes and these young men were wearing size 28 pants, so it was a little overwhelming watching. They had a lot of fun and they really enjoyed it, the local golf companies supplied them with the cloths and all, so it was really I , another great event for our band. There is still time to support them for their next trip. Council t Member Henry and I will be meeting at the 2x2 at the School Board on March 11th. We do this several times a year to address various issues. The new High School coming up and how that will impact Cathedral City, issues with the Homecoming parade and various other items. I'm looking I; forward to that meeting, it is always great to meet with the Superintendent and the other Board Members. I have served on the CVAG Public Safety Committee for eight years now. I am now the longest seated member on there, they have now asked me to attend, be the representative to the Riverside Communities Corrections Partnership Executive Committee (CCPEC). This is to deal with toe the funding that comes in for AB109 and how the funding is used and implemented throughout Riverside County so it is very important committee that hasn't had very much involvement from the t local cities. So I will now be the Representative bringing information back to Safety Committee, it is important on how those funds get spent. The state, while they are sending a sizeable amount of I money to the Coiunty to deal with the re- alignment issue, it is not nearly what the re- alignment issue costs. On the Public Safety meeting, we had, just this week to deal with re -entry and the ( realighment. I look forward to some great information coming back from there. 1'. t Mayor DeRosa - You (Chuck) and Council Member Pettis got very lucky, because at the band event, I was sick, and I was suppose to be a model. So you see how lucky you got because I could have been up on that stage and it could have been a real embarrassment. I mentioned to you earlier that the NCAA baseball and Shorty's Rib Fest are the weekend of February 22 -24. Also the l Chamber's Oscar Night at the Pickford. Feb 25 Mayfield College - Mayfield Cares night from ; Mayfield College, this is for the men in the military to help our troops. They will be collecting some items that the troops will need. There is a student over at Mayfield who's husband is being re- deployed for the third time. There is a list of items they are looking for on this flier, so if you want to I' give, come by at Mayfield on the 25th at 11:00 and donate. The event to raise money for Student Scholarships was held over at Big Horn on Monday evening, very successful and significant money was raised for Student Scholarships. A huge thank you to Desert Princess Country Club for hosting a Golf Tournament for our Police Department. I had an opportunity to speak to the General Manager over the week -end and there were a 144 players, they are doing the final calculations but t they were overwhelmed with the success. Those proceeds will all go to our Police Department. Speaking of the Police Department I was at the State of SunLine Transit today, and was stopped by i t a SunLine employee who lives in Cathedral City, she wanted me to pass along to the Police Department her appreciation when she had an incident in her home that presented a challenge. The Police Department was very respectful, they arrived in a timely manner and she appreciated all the good work the P.D. did. I met with Alton Garret with Senator Boxer's office. He to will be 1 making an appointment to meet with staff to view the priorities of the City COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS i t 5:00 p.m. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY COUNCIL SERVING AS THE SUCCES...
