ITEM 6B

Staff Report Subject: Desert Healthcare District Voting Membership on Homelessness Committee Contact: Cheryll Dahlin, Management Analyst (cdahlin@cvag.org) Recommendation: Approve having a Desert Healthcare District Board Director as a voting member of the CVAG Homelessness Committee. Background: The CVAG Homelessness Committee is comprised of voting members who are elected officials from member jurisdictions as well as non-voting, ex-officio members, who hold high level positions in non-profit organizations in the community. The Desert Healthcare District has expressed interest in joining the Homelessness Committee as a voting member. The Desert Healthcare District, which was created by the State of California in 1948, is the parent organization of the Desert Healthcare Foundation. The Foundation was formed in 1967 to support the activities of Desert Regional Medical Center and had its own separate board of directors. The hospital was a nonprofit hospital. In 1997, the Directors of the District voted to lease Desert Regional Medical Center to Tenet Health Systems for 30 years, resulting in the hospital becoming a for-profit hospital. The focus of the Foundation turned to operating several community programs. In 2003, the Foundation board was dissolved and the District board assumed responsibility. Until recently, the Desert Healthcare Foundation played a minor role overseeing a small grant program called the Social Services Fund. The Social Services Fund assists financially underinsured or non-insured patients at local hospitals and cancer centers (Desert Regional Medical Center, Eisenhower Medical Center, Comprehensive Cancer Center and Lucy Curci Cancer Center) with emergent healthcare needs and services determined by hospital case management counselors. The fund can only be used for District residents. Over the years, Desert Healthcare District has supported CVAG in a number of initiatives, including CV Link and the Nursing Program at Roy’s Desert Resource Center. The District recently held a strategic planning session to help outline future initiatives and is working on the expansion of services to the eastern Coachella Valley. Addressing homelessness was identified by the District as a key initiative, and the District is planning to create a $2 million challenge pooled fund to help end homelessness. The District Board has been an engaged community partner and saw this as an opportunity to partner with CVAG as a voting member of the Homelessness Committee. Fiscal Impact: CVAG staff anticipates a minimal impact fee to the CVAG General Fund. The elected director will receive a per diem for participating in committee meetings.

ITEM 6C

Staff Report

Subject: Amendment No. 2 of Contract for 2015/2017 Local Government Waste Tire

Recycling Program with KJServices Environmental Consulting Contact: Benjamin Druyon, Management Analyst (bdruyon@cvag.org) Recommendation: Approve Amendment No. 2 to extend the contract with KJServices Environmental Consulting to continue the 2015/2017 Waste Tire Amnesty Grant Program, for one additional year from September 30, 2016 to September 30, 2017. Background: In May 2015, CVAG was approved for a grant in the amount of $68,930 from CalRecycle’s Local Government Waste Tire Amnesty Grant Program. In 2014, CVAG went through a Request for Proposals (RFP) process and the only company to respond within the deadline was KJServices Environmental Consulting. Because they were the only company to respond, and because they performed at an exceptional and professional level on the 2014/2015 grant cycle, CVAG would like to extend their contract for the 2015/2017 program. CalRecycle offers these Waste Tire Grants in two-year cycles. Amendment No. 2 to KJServices Environmental Consulting Professional Services Agreement, which was previously approved by this committee on September 28, 2015, was for a one-year extension rather than a two-year extension to coincide with this grant’s two-year cycle. CVAG staff is now correcting this oversight. Amendment No. 2 is a no-cost extension to September 30, 2017. Staff requests that the Executive Committee approve Amendment No. 2 for a contract extension with KJServices Environmental Consulting to continue the Waste Tire Amnesty Grant Program for 2015/2017.

Fiscal Analysis: The Local Government Waste Tire Amnesty Grant Program is funded by CalRecycle through an agreement with CVAG. This grant covers the consultant contract, CVAG staff time, participating jurisdiction staff time, and all program costs.

Attachment: 1. KJServices Environmental Consulting contract Amendment No. 2

COACHELLA VALLEY ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS

AMENDMENT No. 2 to

AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES with

KJSERVICES ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING The Agreement for Professional Services (the “Contract”) dated September 29, 2014 by and between the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) and KJServices Environmental Consulting (Contractor), is amended as follows:

1) The contract duration shall be extended to September 30, 2017, to coincide with CalRecycle’s Tire Amnesty 2015/17 Grant’s two-year cycle.

2) All other terms and conditions shall remain the same as stated in the original contract.

ITEM 7A

Staff Report Subject: Nomination Committee Contact: Tom Kirk, Executive Director (tkirk@cvag.org) Recommendation: Appoint Chair Dana Reed, Mayor Stan Henry, and Mayor Jan Harnik to serve as the Nomination Committee that will consider the FY 2017/18 CVAG Chair and Vice Chair. Background: The 2017 CVAG General Assembly will be held on Monday, June 26 at the Miramonte Indian Wells Resort and Spa in Indian Wells. At this meeting, the General Assembly will consider approval of the FY 2017/2018 budget as well as appointment of both the incoming Chair and Vice Chair of CVAG as recommended by the Nomination Committee and Executive Committee. Members from the Administrative/Personnel Committee have historically served on the Nomination Committee. The current Administrative/Personnel Committee consists of the following members: CVAG Chair, Councilmember Dana Reed; CVAG Vice Chair, Supervisor Marion Ashley; Past Chair, Mayor Stan Henry; Coachella Valley Conservation Commission Chair, Mayor Pro Tem Michael Wilson; Chair Appointees, Mayor Jan Harnik and Mayor Linda Evans; and Technical Advisory Committee Chair Wade McKinney. Given that CVAG’s Chair and the two previous Chairs are current members of the Administrative/Personnel Committee, staff is recommending that Chair Dana Reed, Mayor Stan Henry and Mayor Jan Harnik be appointed to the Nomination Committee and that they meet briefly following the Executive Committee meeting. FISCAL ANALYSIS: There will be no financial impact on CVAG.

ITEM 7B

Staff Report Subject: Proposed FY 2017/18 Budget Contact: Gary Leong, Deputy Executive Director (gleong@cvag.org) Recommendation: No action is required at this time. Background: The Proposed FY 2017/18 Budget will be handed out at the meeting and will also be made available at CVAG’s web-site after the meeting. Staff will be recommending that the Technical Advisory Committee approve this proposed Budget at their June 12th meeting and that the Executive Committee as well as the General Assembly approve it at the June 26th meetings. Fiscal Analysis: No financial impact.

ITEM 7C

Staff Report Subject: Resolution of Support for the Salton Sea Contact: Katie Barrows, Director of Environmental Resources (kbarrows@cvag.org) Recommendation: Authorize the Chair to sign Resolution 17-003 supporting a fully-funded Salton Sea Phase 1 10-year plan. Energy & Environmental Resources Committee: CONCURS (Meeting of May 11th) Technical Advisory Committee (May Meeting canceled) Background: In February 2017, an update on plans for restoration of the Salton Sea was presented to the Energy and Environmental Resources Committee by Bruce Wilcox, Assistant Secretary of Salton Sea Policy for the California Natural Resource Agency and Phil Rosentrater, Executive Director of the Salton Sea Authority. Mr. Wilcox and Mr. Rosentrater described the Salton Sea Management Plan that was nearing completion. Following the presentation, the E&E Committee recommended the Executive Committee authorize the chair to sign a letter supporting the Salton Sea Management Program. The Executive Committee did so at their February 27th meeting. The Imperial Irrigation District with support from the Sierra Club, is circulating the attached resolution and requesting support for full funding of the Salton Sea Management Program Phase 1 10-year plan. CVAG supported a previous resolution circulated by IID in 2015. The resolution is being circulated to update local governments and other stakeholders on what is happening with the Salton Sea. Salton Sea water levels will shrink significantly after 2017 when water now being delivered to the Sea will cease. Hence, we are at a pivotal time. Declining water levels are predicted to precipitate ecological collapse, dust storms, and significant impacts on the Coachella Valley’s tourist economy. In March 2017, the California Natural Resources Agency released a 10-year plan which describes dust suppression to improve air quality and habitat enhancement projects for bird and wildlife populations. The first phase of the 10-year plan focuses on cost estimates and shovel-ready projects to create wildlife habitat zones that will also help suppress dust. Funds committed for this effort include $80 million in Proposition 1 funds, and grants including $14 million from the state Wildlife Conservation Board, and $7.5 million from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Nevertheless, the 10-year plan identifies a $300 million funding shortfall, which needs to be addressed. Legislators, businesses, and local governments who support Salton Sea restoration are encouraged to contact Governor Brown asking him to address the $300 million shortfall in funding for the Salton Sea. The Salton Sea Management Program, Phase 1: 10-Year Plan is available at: http://resources.ca.gov/docs/salton_sea/ssmp-10-year-plan/SSMP-Phase-I-10-YR-Plan-with-appendices.pdf. Resolution 17-003 is attached for your review. The resolution was also provided to the Salton Sea Authority for their input. Wording changes recommended by the Authority have been incorporated in the final version of the resolution; these changes from the version presented to the Energy and Environmental Resources Committee are shown in italics. The Salton Sea Authority board will consider the final version of the resolution at their meeting on June 15. If changes are made by the Salton Sea Authority, staff will advise the Executive Committee at the June 26 meeting.

Staff also recommends that CVAG member agencies bring this resolution to their respective boards and councils for adoption. The organizations involved in the resolution plan for a larger package of resolutions and letters showing support for action on the Salton Sea from a wide variety of supporters. These resolutions and letters will then be presented to the Governor and other state and federal decision-makers. Staff recommends that the Executive Committee adopt Resolution 17-003 supporting a fully funded Salton Sea Phase 1 10-year Plan. Fiscal Analysis: No fiscal impact. Attachment:

1. Resolution 17-003

RESOLUTION NO. 17-003

A RESOLUTION OF

THE COACHELLA VALLEY ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS SUPPORTING A FULLY FUNDED

SALTON SEA PHASE 1 10-YEAR PLAN

WHEREAS, the Salton Sea region is an irreplaceable environmental resource for California--providing vital habitat sustaining over 400 resident and migratory avian species, which is even more important as California has lost over 90% of its other wetlands; and WHEREAS, the natural resources surrounding the Imperial and Coachella Valleys including the Salton Sea provide unique wildlife and recreational resources and are tourism and economic drivers for all of Southern California; and WHEREAS, the agricultural lands in the Coachella and Imperial Valleys play a pivotal role in our nation’s food security; and WHEREAS, the Salton Sea region offers unique renewable energy resources, estimated to eventually provide over 1,800 megawatts of continuously available geothermal energy plus other renewable generation opportunities to ensure California meets its clean energy goals; and WHEREAS, the communities immediately surrounding the Salton Sea already suffer from some of the highest rates of air quality related illnesses in the nation; and WHEREAS, tourism is the number one industry in the Coachella Valley with more than 15 million visitors each year and supports more than 46,000 (one in four) jobs and $6.4 billion in total business sales; and generates $952 million in tax revenues, including $538 million in state and local revenues; and WHEREAS, an impact study by Tourism Economics in 2015 on the potential impact of the Salton Sea reports that the continued degradation could cost the Coachella Valley region between $1.3 billion and $6.5 billion in lost tourism spending over a five-year period; and the resulting total economic loss would range from $1.7 billion to $8.6 billion, including indirect supply chain and induced income effects; and state and local taxes could experience up to a cumulative $712 million loss; and WHEREAS, the 2003 Quantification Settlement Agreement (QSA), which authorized the nation's largest agricultural-to-urban water transfer, includes commitments made by the State of California to ensure that the impacts of the water transfer will be mitigated and, as articulated in Section 2940 of the Fish and Game Code, the fish and wildlife resources at the Salton Sea will be protected in the long-term; and WHEREAS, mitigation water under the QSA will end in December 2017, at which point the Sea will start to dramatically recede, causing severe wildlife and air quality impacts unless immediate and sustained action is taken; and WHEREAS, the Secretary of the Natural Resources Agency, is required to work with local stakeholders as articulated in Fish and Game Code, Article 2 of Section 2940 wherein the Natural Resources Agency shall lead Salton Sea restoration efforts in consultation and coordination with the Salton Sea Authority, and

WHEREAS, in May 2015, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. created the Salton Sea Task Force and directed agencies to develop a comprehensive management plan for the Sea that will meet a short-term goal to construct 9,000 to 12,000 acres and a medium-term goal to construct 18,000 acres to 25,000 acres of habitat and dust suppression projects; and WHEREAS, in August 2016, California’s Natural Resources Agency and the United States Department of the Interior signed a Memorandum of Understanding which included Salton Sea management goals and a federal commitment to support State actions, and WHEREAS, in March 2017, California’s Natural Resources Agency released a 10-Year Plan, which describes the first phase of the Salton Sea Management Program, detailing the number of acres of lakebed expected to face exposure each year from 2018 through 2028, the number of acres to be covered through proposed construction efforts, and the projected annual costs of the effort; and WHEREAS, the 10-Year Plan is a positive step forward, but does not mention the State’s existing statutory requirements to provide long-term protections for the fish and wildlife of the Salton Sea, does not include adequate objectives or resources for achieving these goals, does not discuss the role of renewable energy, and identifies a shortfall of at least $300 million to cover the costs of the projects necessary to cover nearly 30,000 acres of exposed lakebed over the next decade; and WHEREAS, fully funding and implementing the State’s 10-Year Plan for Salton Sea restoration now will avoid costs of an estimated $29 to $70 billion in human health, environmental and economic costs that will otherwise be borne by the people and the businesses of California later; and WHEREAS, the participating water agencies agreed to the water transfer for 30 years with an option to extend to 75 years, the state of California has not provided a longer-term plan to address the full impacts of a 30 to 75 year water transfer on the Salton Sea and surrounding communities beyond the 10-Year Plan, and WHEREAS, stakeholders including the state of California know that inaction at the Salton Sea poses imminent threats to California's environment, human health, large-scale agricultural food supply, water security, renewable energy production and economic vitality; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, THAT the CVAG Executive Committee supports a fully funded 10-Year Plan for the Salton Sea that protects public health and the fish and wildlife of the Salton Sea and creates local, middle-class clean energy jobs and apprenticeship training opportunities by advancing the responsible development of Salton Sea geothermal energy resources. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the CVAG Executive Committee calls upon the Governor to acknowledge in writing existing statutory requirements to provide long-term deep water protections for the fish and wildlife of the Salton Sea, to provide adequate objectives and resources for achieving these goals, to include the role of renewable energy in the 10-Year Plan, and to affirmatively address the shortfall of at least $300 million to cover the costs of the projects necessary to cover nearly 30,000 acres of exposed lakebed over the next decade. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the CVAG Executive Committee call upon the Governor to work closely and cooperatively with state legislators to appropriate funding to close the $300 million shortfall identified in the 10-Year Plan, to ensure that the State’s near-term obligations are satisfied.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the CVAG Executive Committee call upon the Governor and the Legislature to develop and implement a plan for the Salton Sea that satisfies the State’s obligations to protect public and ecosystem health over the full term of the QSA and realizes the responsible development of at least 500 MW of new Salton Sea geothermal energy projects by 2022 and 1,000 MW by 2030.

NOW THEREFORE, the Executive Committee of the Coachella Valley Association of

Governments, in regular session on June 5, 2017, does hereby APPROVE AND ADOPT

Staff Report Subject: Status of Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Project and

Recommendation Contact: Eric Cowle, Transportation Program Manager (ecowle@cvag.org) Recommendation: Approve top twenty-one (21) prioritized corridors to be included in the Regional Signal Synchronization Program, and the forty-nine (49) un-prioritized corridors to be included in the Regional Signal Synchronization Program. Transportation Technical Advisory Sub-Committee: CONCURS (Meeting of April 24th) Transportation Committee: CONCURS (Meeting of May 1st) Technical Advisory Committee: (Meeting of May 8th was canceled) Background: Project Key Objectives CVAG has embarked on a significant effort to advance the development and implementation of Intelligent Transportation Systems Programs in the Coachella Valley with the initial step being the development of a valley-wide traffic signal interconnect master plan and signal synchronization of new and existing signals on the regional arterial roads. Key objectives of the project include:

a) An enhancement to existing and/or new proposed traffic signal systems (communications, operations, etc.) to achieve inter-agency signal coordination.

b) Implementation of traffic management systems that can be remotely accessed in real-time for operations and management.

c) Implementation of a system that looks beyond the traditional time-of-day operations (e.g. signal malfunction, real-time video, etc.) capturing advanced technologies for ease of operations and maintenance.

d) Prepare agencies in the Coachella Valley for upcoming transportation technologies.

Project Overview The project consists of nine major elements with a total of thirty-five (35) tasks. These major elements are:

1) Traffic Signal Interconnect (TSI) Master Plan

2) Project Environmental Phase 3) Preliminary Engineering 4) System Integrator and Procurement and Design 5) Implementation and Construction Support 6) Traffic Signal Synchronization 7) Operations and Maintenance Support 8) Project Closeout 9) Project Administration, Management, Coordination

We are in the process of wrapping up the first element, the Master Plan. The tasks within the Master plan are listed below:

1) Traffic Signal Interconnect (TSI) Master Plan

Existing System Inventory and Evaluation

Evaluation of Surrounding Systems

Assessment of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Opportunities Priority Corridors System Engineering Management Plan (SEMP)

Concept of Operations and Strategic Deployment Plan Inter-Agency Communication Needs Systems Requirements Plan

Advantec is CVAG’s consultant on the Regional Signal Synchronization Program. Since last summer, Advantec has been focused on the first five major tasks related to the TSI Master Plan. The primary effort has been the confirmation/verification of the existing traffic signal and signal communication system infrastructure and upcoming projects by others. Coordinating with each jurisdiction, two Advantec teams have worked their way across the Valley this last summer opening every controller, detailing every signalized intersection and reviewing every set of as-built signal plans. By now, all jurisdictions (via TTAS members) have been delivered both electronic and hard copies of the first five tasks of the Master Plan. Many of the jurisdictions have submitted their comments to Advantec and the documents have been revised accordingly. Advantec will discuss the Arterial Corridors that are proposed to be included in the first phase of the project. Advantec identified 70 primary corridors and another 42 secondary corridors that could be considered candidates for traffic signal synchronization upgrades. Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) projects can be identified as either near-term or long-term. Near-term projects are those that address critical needs and are technically and institutionally ready for deployment. Utilizing six criteria, Advantec has prioritized the primary and secondary corridors. It is likely that in the first phase of implementation, less than twenty-one will actually be funded. It is critical to establish a consensus on the top 21 corridors so that the environmental and design phases of the project may commence. Next Steps The Advantec team plans to work with the CVAG committees to complete Task 1, Traffic Signal Interconnect (TSI) Master Plan have it approved later this year. With the Master Plan approved, Advantec will move forward with the remaining elements of the project (previously identified) including environmental (Task 2) and preliminary engineering (Task 3). Construction is anticipated to begin in 2018.

Staff Report

Subject: Correspondence Related to Alleged Brown Act Violations Contact: Erica Felci, Governmental Projects Manager (efelci@cvag.org) Recommendation: Information Background: CVAG has received two letters – one from Indian Wells Councilman Ty Peabody and one from Rancho Mirage resident DeeAnn Madsen – that allege the Executive Committee violated the Brown Act at the April 24, 2017 meeting. The vote in question was regarding agenda item 7G, when the Executive Committee voted to accept the $5.584 million Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant for CV Link. CVAG Legal Counsel Toni Eggebraaten has reviewed the allegations and prepared responses to the demands to cure and correct the alleged violation. The letters state her legal opinion that the motion and resulting vote did not violate the Brown Act. This echoes the opinion she gave to the Executive Committee during the meeting. No formal vote on this correspondence is required, as the demands will be deemed denied if there is no legislative action after 30 days of the request. In addition to the points outlined in Legal Counsel’s correspondence, CVAG staff would note that the Executive Committee agendas always state that “action may result on any items on this agenda.” Additionally, Councilman Peabody was aware that action could result on this topic; at the Indian Wells City Council meeting on April 13 – before the CVAG agenda was even out – he led an effort to direct the City’s representative at CVAG to “second the motion” he anticipated would be introduced.
