FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager BY: Development Services Department SUMMARY: The Cooperative Agreement for construction and maintenance of Palm Springs Master Drainage Plan Line 41, Stage 3 ("Line 41 ") between the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District ("RCFC") and the City is a standard agreement for construction of flood control improvements that will in-part be maintained and operated by the City and RCFC. RCFC will construct approximately 4,900 lineal feet of underground storm drain pipes and related appurtenances. Construction of Line 41 will provide flood control protection for portions of the City and will remove certain communities out of the FEMA flood plain eliminating the need for flood insurance. As part of the improvements, RCFC has agreed to include repaving portions of Matthew Drive and Cherokee Way that are currently outside of the footprint of the proposed storm drain improvements. The Cooperative Agreement will allow the City to reimburse the county for the work performed on behalf of the City on Matthew Drive and Cherokee Way. The agreement also will formally set aside undevelopable land for the federally endangered Casey's June Beetle ("CJB") habitat conservation. RECOMMENDATION: 1. Approve a Cooperative Agreement (Agreement No. ) between the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District and the City of Palm Springs associated with the construction, operation, and maintenance of the Master Drainage Plan Line 41, Stage 3 and associated improvements; and 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents. 2City Council Staff Report January 141 2021 --Page 2 RCFC Cooperative Agreement Master Drainage Plan Line 411 Stage 3 BACKGROUND: The City's Master Plan of Drainage was established in 1982 by RCFC. RCFC is a separate legal public agency of Riverside County with 7 Zones throughout Riverside County. RCFC is administered by a 5-member Board consisting of the Board of Supervisors. The City of Palm Springs, Desert Hot Springs, and a portion of Cathedral City are located in Zone 6 of RCFC, with the remainder of the Coachella Valley located within a separate flood control district -the Coachella Valley Water District. Regionally significant flood control facilities are identified on Master Drainage Plans, and the City's Master Drainage Plan is implemented jointly by the City and RCFC through revenues generated by RCFC through property tax assessments, and revenues generated by the City through developer impact fees ("drainage fees"). Master-planned storm drain facilities are significantly expensive to construct, leading to delays in implementing the Master Plan of Drainage until enough funds have been accumulated by RCFC and/or the City to cover the cost. The last master-planned storm drain facility was constructed by the City in 2009. Over the last decade, Staff has requested annually that RCFC prioritize its efforts on three critical master planned facilities: Line 41, Line 20 and Line 23. Construction of Line 41 has been a top priority for Staff. During each RCFC Zone 6 Budget Cycle, Staff submits a written request asking that RCFC make construction of Line 41 within the City of Palm Springs a top priority. STAFF ANALYSIS: On December 1, 2020, RCFC indicated that the design for Line 41 is 90 percent complete and construction is anticipated to begin in late Spring of 2021. The design of Line 41 includes 4,900 lineal feet of storm drain pipe up to 9 feet in diameter and a 6.5-acre retention basin as shown in Figure 1 below. Figure 1. 3City Council Staff Report January 14, 2021 --Page 3 RCFC Cooperative Agreement Master Drainage Plan Line 41, Stage 3 During plan review of Line 41, Staff identified areas within Matthew Drive and Cherokee Way that could be repaved by RCFC contractor during construction of Line 41. RCFC Staff reviewed our request and agreed to incorporate additional areas of those streets to be repaved as shown in green in Figure 2 below. The Cooperative Agreement allows the City to reimburse RCFC for the additional paving. STREET PAVING* (GrNn) ,/ .,,,, 1!AJJH£w DfflY£ PAYPfG fl.AN Figure 2.

According to RCFC, the 39 acres of District-owned property set aside for mitigation of land disturbed by construction of Line 41 exhausts all RCFC property in the City of Palm Springs. The Cooperative Agreement identifies approximately 39 acres of undevelopable land owned by the City, in the Palm Canyon/Tahquitz Creek area, that could potentially be set aside for future RCFC projects requiring CJB habitat mitigation. A summary of the properties are listed in Table 1 below.

The storm drain improvements will ultimately be operated and maintained by RCFC; however, storm drain connector pipes and catch basins within the public right-of-way will be maintained by the City. A standard form Cooperative Agreement between RCFC and the City of Palm Springs, has been prepared by RCFC and outlines the obligations of each agency. Approval of the Cooperative Agreement will allow construction of the flood control and drainage improvements. A copy of the Cooperative Agreement is included as Attachment 2. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: Construction of Line 41 is considered a "Project" pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") Guidelines. RCFC, acting as Lead Agency pursuant to CEQA, will prepared all necessary environmental documents and provide the necessary mitigation for the project. No further action with regard to CEQA is required to approve the Cooperative Agreement. 5City Council Staff Report January 14, 2021 --Page 5 RCFC Cooperative Agreement Master Drainage Plan Line 41, Stage 3 FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of the RCFC Cooperative Agreement has no fiscal impact. All costs to design and construct the flood control and drainage improvements are the obligation of the RCFC. All associated costs with street paving are the obligation of the City and considered the City's contribution to the Project. Future maintenance costs related to the flood control and drainage improvements will be the responsibility of RCFC, excluding storm drain connector pipes and catch basins within the public right-of-way. The City's costs for maintenance of connector pipes and catch basins is budgeted and available in the CSA 152 Fund. SUBMITTED: Director of Development Services ~ .. ~ -;,, ==' :::7 ~ David H.

Tahquitz Canyon Way Palm Springs, CA 92262 Dear Mr. Fuller: November 20, 2017 Re: Casey's June Beetle Mitigation Responsibility Palm Springs MDP Line 41, Stage 3 and Palm Canyon Wash Levee Restoration, Stage 93 Project Nos.6-0-00160-03 and 6-0-00040-93 As requested by the City of Palm Springs, the District has budgeted funds for the design and construction of Palm Springs MDP Line 41, Stage 3 (LINE 41 ), as shown in Attachment I. The District is currently working towards acquiring all required environmental permits and completing the project's design by the third quarter of 2018. The draft Biological Opinion (BO) for the LINE 41 prqject, provided by United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), requires extensive mitigation land to be set aside for the impacts to the Federally Endangered Casey's June beetle (CJB) habitat. The District is prepared to commit approximately 40 acres of District-owned property for the construction and maintenance of LINE 41. however this commitment would effectively exhaust all the District-owned parcels within CJB habitat and preclude our ability to provide similar compensatory mitigation for other future projects. As we have discussed, the existing Palm Canyon Wash Levee facility, which protects a significant area of the city of Palm Springs as shown in Attachment 2, is in need of repair and restoration. Our planned restoration prqject (LEVEE RESTORATION) will likely require the District to provide additional CJB compensatory mitigation land for the approximate 15 acres of temporary construction impacts. The actual amount of mitigation land required for the LEVEE RESTORATION is currently unknown, as it will be negotiated and ultimately defined by the USFWS. but mitigation ratios in excess of 5: I have been required in for this species in this area. Therefore, it would be imprudent for the District to pursue the construction of LINE 41 without also securing the mitigation parcels potentially required for the LEVEE RESTORATION. As such, to allow the District to move forward with the design. construction and maintenance of LINE 41, the City of Palm Springs will commit to provide the necessary CJB mitigation land for the LEV EE RESTORATION project. This letter is to acknowledge the understanding between the City and District staff prior to formalizing these responsibilities in a cooperative agreement. It is the intent of our two agencies to enter into a cooperative agreement as soon as practical, and that the agreement will incorporate the following terms (or mutually agreeable terms that arc substantively the same). District shall: • Design and construct the LINE 41 project, at District cost; • Fund and comply with the full mitigation of LINE 41, including obligating 40 acres of District-owned property as compensatory mitigation for impacted C.IB habitat; • Design and construct the LEVEE RESTORATION project. at District cost; 8Mr. Marcus Fuller -2 -217546 November 20, 2017 Re: Casey's June Beetle Mitigation Responsibility Palm Springs MOP Line 41, Stage 3 Palm Canyon Wash Levee Restoration, Stage 93 Project Nos. 6-0-00160-03 and 6-0-00040-93 • Prepare LEVEE RESTORATION plans in a manner that has minimal impact to the CJB in order to keep the compensatory mitigation requirement to a minimum; • Secure, at District cost, all regulatory permits for the LEVEE RESTORATION project and, except with regard to securing and conveying the mitigation land as defined below, fund and comply with all other terms identified in those permits; • Coordinate with the City prior to proposing any specific parcels as compensatory mitigation for the LEVEE RESTORATION. City shall: • At no cost to District, convey sufficient land acceptable to the regulatory agencies for the mitigation of impacts to the CJB habitat caused by the LEVEE RESTORATION project. The total acreage shall not exceed the total compensatory mitigation acreage defined in the regulatory permits issued for the project; • Until such time that the mitigation for the LEVEE RESTORATION has been completed, take appropriate steps to secure existing City-owned land within CJB habitat to ensure that sufficient, suitable land is unencumbered and available to provide for mitigation for the LEVEE RESTORATION project; • Coordinate with the District, as necessary, to identify specific parcels (or portions thereof) to be used for mitigation for the LEVEE RESTORATION project, transfer fee title(s), and/or grant conservation easements to a conservation entity as required pursuant to the regulatory permits. I would greatly appreciate your indication of concurrence with the above by signing this letter where indicated and returning a copy to me.

E. Altogether, MAINLINE, BASIN, DISTRICT APPURTENANT FEATURES and INTERIM EARTHEN CHANNEL are hereinafter called "DISTRICT FACILITIES"; and 55575.18120\33345985. I - 2 - 14234036 F. Associated with the construction of DISTRICT FACILITIES is the construction of concrete retaining walls and headwalls; various curb and gutter; cross gutters; local depressions; concrete aprons; sidewalks; catch basins and laterals, connector pipes and storm drains that are thirty-six inches (36") or less in diameter located within CITY held easements or rights of way, hereinafter called "CITY APPURTENANCES"; and G. CITY desires DISTRICT to include certain street improvements, such as additional street grinding and asphalt overlay ("STREET PA YING"), as shown in concept in green on Exhibit "B" attached hereto and made a part hereof, as a part of its construction contract. STREET PAVING limits shown on Exhibit "B" are preliminary and will be adjusted to three feet beyond the top of any trench sidewall or beyond any undermined asphalt caused by construction; and H. CITY is willing to reimburse DISTRICT for one hundred percent (100%) of the lowest responsible construction contract bid price for STREET PA YING ("INITIAL PAYMENT") plus any cost associated with STREET PA YING items resulting from contract change orders ("PAVING CHANGE ORDERS"). Together, INITIAL PAYMENT and PA YING CHANGE ORDERS are collectively referred to as "CITY CONTRIBUTION"; and I. DISTRICT is willing to incorporate STREET PAVING into its public works construction contract. Therefore, DISTRICT is willing to prepare, or cause to be prepared, the necessary restoration plans and specifications for STREET PAVING ("PAVING PLANS") located within CITY rights of way; and J.

DISTRICT FACILITIES, CHEROKEE LATERAL, LATERAL APPURTENANCES and CITY FACILITIES are hereinafter altogether called "PROJECT"; and M. Portions of PROJECT will impact the Casey's June Beetle ("CJB "), a federally listed endangered species, and its designated critical habitat; and N. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service issued its biological opinion for PROJECT, which includes requirements for DISTRICT to mitigate for impacts to CJB through a variety of means, including, but not limited to, placing the following two DISTRICT-owned parcels, which are within CJB habitat, under a permanent conservation easement or permanent deed restriction: 1. "PARCEL A", Riverside County Assessor's Parcel Number 510-300-002 (DISTRICT's Parcel Number 6040-28), an approximately 13.4 acre parcel in the Palm Canyon Wash. PARCEL A is shown in concept diagonally hatched in purple on Exhibit "C" attached hereto and made a part hereof; and ii. "PARCEL B", an approximately 26.6 acre parcel, which is a portion of Riverside County Assessor's Parcel Number 510-290-005 (DISTRICT's Parcel Number 6040-10). PARCEL B is shown in concept cross-hatched in teal on Exhibit "C"; and iii. Altogether, PARCEL A and PARCEL B are hereinafter called "DISTRICT MITIGATION PARCELS"; and 0. DISTRICT MITIGATION PARCELS, totaling approximately 40 acres, currently comprise the majority of DISTRICT-owned real property within CJB habitat; and P. DISTRICT owns, operates and maintains a number of critical flood control facilities, which are located within or adjacent to the city of Palm Springs, that protect a significant area of 55575.18120\33345985. I - 4 - 16234036 the city of Palm Springs ("EXISTING PS FACILITIES"). Portions of EXISTING PS FACILITIES are located within CJB habitat. DISTRICT will likely be required to mitigate for impacts to CJB habitat as part of DISTRICT's long-term maintenance, repair and restoration of EXISTING PS FACILITIES; and Q. Since the commitment of DISTRICT MITIGATION PARCELS as CJB compensatory mitigation land for PROJECT will effectively preclude DISTRICT from providing similar compensatory mitigation for the long-term maintenance, repair, and restoration of said EXISTING PS FACILITIES, CITY agrees to provide approximately 40 acres of CITY-owned land that is located, partially or wholly, within suitable CJB habitat as the necessary CJB compensatory mitigation land for the operation, repair and maintenance of EXISTING PS FACILITIES; and R. DISTRICT and CITY acknowledge it is in the best interest of the public to proceed with the construction of PROJECT at the earliest possible date; and S.
