TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: C. LEE WEIGEL, CHIEF OF POLICE
SUBJECT: COMMUNITY POLICING SATELLITE OFFICES
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of a lease between the City of Palm Springs and Lamar Companies (Palm Springs
Mall) for a Community Policing Satellite Office to locate the D.A.R.E. and P.A.L. programs.
And, approval of a lease between the City of Palm Springs and Del Mar Properties I (2400 N.
Palm Canyon) to locate an additional Community Policing Satellite Office.
BACKGROUND:
To further enhance our visibility and accessibility through our community policing outreach
efforts the Police Department has identified two off-site locations to serve as Commmunity
Policing Satellite Offices. The first location is at the Palm Springs Mall, 2363 Tahquitz Canyon
Way. The mall owner, Lamar Companies, has offered a storefront office to house the D.A.R.E.
and P.A.L. programs at no cost to the City. The 1245 square foot office comes complete with
storage space, a bathroom and a monthly credit of$450 (four hundred and fifty dollars) toward
utilities. The office will be furnished through existing Department furniture and equipment and
community donations.
The second location is at 2400 N. Palm Canyon Drive, Suite C7. The center owner, Del Mar
Properties I, has also offered at no cost to the City, a 960 square foot storefront office. This
location will be unmanned and will be used primarily as a community meeting place for officers
to host neighborhood groups and other community events. In addition patrol officers will have
keys to the office to allow them to use the location for report writing and telephone follow-ups.
Although the rent for both offices is free we anticipate minimal start-up costs for the offices, such
as supplies and related items not to exceed $5000. These f-mds will come from the Department's
current budget. No additional budget appropriation is necessary. Both leases are month to
month agreements and the City will cover site liability for each office.
