La Quinta Recycling SB 1383: Short Lived Climate Pollutants WH AT R ESI DE NT S N E ED T O KN O W SB 1383 is the most aggressive waste reduction law to be adopted in California in the past 30 years. This new law establishes statewide efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions like methane. By directing food scraps, soiled paper, yard trimmings and other organic materials to compost sites. The City of La Quinta is working closely with Burrtec to ensure our implementation is welcoming and informative to our community.

GOAL

SB 1383 requires that clean streams of organic material be collected, recovered, and recycled into new end-products like compost.

Landfill Diversion by 2025

Residential

How can I be an active steward of SB 1383?

At work and at home, we will need to keep all our recycling and compost materials separate from our trash in the appropriate colored carts (coming soon!). Burrtec will provide residents with three carts and a kitchen pail. Multi-family communities will have a centralized organics program.

What Businesses Need To Know STATE LAW REQUIRES EDIBLE FOOD DONATION

Is My Business a Tier 1?

Edible Food Generators SB 1383 sets a statewide goal to recover 20% of edible food waste by 2025 to address food insecurity in California and reduce food waste. TIER 1 Commercial and Edible Food Generators must contract with a food recovery organization or service for the collection or drop-off of edible food starting January 1, 2022.

Tier 1 Commercial Edible Food Generators Include: 11.2 Billion Pounds of Food Sent to Landfills Californians send 11.2 billion pounds of food to landfills each year, some of which is still fresh enough to be recovered to feed people in need (CalRecycle. ca.gov)

Supermarkets with an annual revenue of $2 million or greater

Grocery stores with a total facility size of 10,000 square feet or more.

Commercial

State Senate Bill (SB) 1383 requires commercial edible food generators to donate all leftover or unsold food that would otherwise be disposed of, by donating the food to a food recovery organization or service such as a food bank or local soup kitchen. Luckily, La Quinta businesses can benefit from our local partner, FIND food bank! To learn more visit www.findfoodbank.org

Food service providers

WHAT DOES MY BUSINESS NEED TO DO TO COMPLY? Recover Edible Food: Save edible food so it can be used to feed people instead of sending it to a landfill. Contract: Have a contract or written agreement with food recovery organizations that picks up or receives edible food from your business. Track and Report: Maintain records of food recovered each month.

CAMERAS AND TRAFFIC LIGHT SYNCHRONIZATION UPDATES WITH CVAG AND LA QUINTA Submitted by: City of La Quinta Staff

You may have seen a lot of workers and extra equipment on the Traffic Signals of Washington Street and Highway 111. The Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG), along with Riverside County, Caltrans District 8 other valley cities and the Coachella Valley Band of Mission Indians has been working for the past several years on the planning development and construction of the CV Sync Program. Phase 1 of the project is to provide traffic mitigation equipment and signal synchronization along 3 major corridors here in the Coachella Valley. Those corridors are Highway 111, Washington Street and Ramon Road. Phase 2 will include 21 additional corridors. Please visit the website at the bottom for more information. Here in La Quinta, you may have seen extra camera equipment being mounted on the traffic poles. This equipment includes vehicle video detection cameras, pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) closed circuit television cameras for monitoring traffic, and a piece of equipment called a roadside unit, which communicates with approaching vehicles. This technology is part of the connected vehicle program and will be available by the auto industry. The Department of Transportation has a good video on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8Cn47L8FRQ As a sidenote, the PTZ cameras installed by CVAG are not part of the La Quinta Public Safety Camera System.

Along with the new video detection cameras, the project is also replacing the traffic signal controllers and Malfunction Monitors. The City of La Quinta Traffic Team has been working closely with Phase I contractor to convert signal timing to the new controller format and checking that data for accuracy. These new controllers allow all the municipalities in the valley to communicate with a Regional Traffic Management Center (RTMC), located at CVAG’s Office. The City of La Quinta has been selected as one of the backup monitoring TMC for the valley. These TMC’s are just for monitoring since timing and coordination decisions are made by each agency and their respective Traffic Engineers working together with stakeholders in the region. TMC monitoring will have pre-programmed alerts and timing agreed upon by all agencies to help mitigate traffic in the event of emergencies, weather events, or special events affecting traffic. This information will also be communicated to motorists with Dynamic Message Signs located throughout the valley. The CV Sync Phase 1Project is scheduled for completion this fall. The goal is for smoother and safer traffic flow along the three corridors. As with any project, there will be a time of adjustment and fine tuning of the synchronized corridors. The City of La Quinta and CVAG ask for your patience as we go through this process. As the projects wraps up and traffic engineers begin to analyze and apply the collected data, you should see a vast improvement in traffic flow and travel times. www.CVAG.org.

POOL SAFETY Submitted by: GCVCC Staff free or reduced-cost options available from your local YMCA, USA Swimming chapter or Parks and Recreation Department.

Swimming pools and spas are great places for family fun. It’s important to ensure everyone follows these simple safety steps to stay safer in and around the water. Never leave a child unattended in or near water.

Teach children to stay away from drains.

•

Always watch children when they’re in or near water, and never leave them unattended. Designate an official Water Watcher, an adult tasked with supervising children in the water. That should be their only task – they shouldn’t be reading, texting or playing games on their phone. Have a phone close by at all times in case you need to call for help, and if a child is missing, check the pool first. Even if a lifeguard is present, parents and caregivers should still take the responsibility of being a designated Water Watcher. When any lifeguard chair is empty, the remaining lifeguards may not be able to see the entire pool and when lifeguards are seated in low chairs, their view can be blocked by patrons in the pool.

Teach children how to swim. •

Swimming is not only fun, it’s a lifesaving skill. Enroll children in swimming lessons; there are many

Do not play or swim near drains or suction outlets, especially in spas and shallow pools, and never enter a pool or spa that has a loose, broken or missing drain cover. Children’s hair, limbs, jewelry or bathing suits can get stuck in a drain or suction opening. When using a spa, be sure to locate the emergency vacuum shutoff before getting in the water.

Ensure all pools and spas - both in your backyard and any public pool you may visit - have compliant drain covers. •

Virginia Graeme Baker, after whom the Pool and Spa Safety Act is named, died from drowning due to a suction entrapment from a faulty drain cover. All public pools and spas must have drain grates or covers that meet safety standards to avoid incidents like the one that took Graeme’s life. Powerful suction from a pool or spa drain can even trap an adult.

Install proper barriers, covers and alarms on and around your pool and spa. •

Proper fences, barriers, alarms and covers can be lifesaving devices. A fence of at least four feet in height should surround the pool or spa on all sides and should not be climbable for children. The water should only be accessible through a self-closing, selflatching gate. Teach children to never try to climb over the gate or fence. Install a door alarm from the house to the pool area, and keep pool and spa covers in working order.

Know how to perform CPR on children and adults. •

Often, bystanders are the first to aid a drowning victim, so learning CPR can help save a life. And once you’re CPR certified, make sure to keep your certification current. CPR classes are available through many hospitals, community centers, or by contacting the American Red Cross.

CITY MANAGER’S MESSAGE

•

By: Jon McMillen, La Quinta City Manager

We hope you are enjoying ‘cool’ activities in the Gem of the Desert – from early-morning park visits and daytime water recreation at Fritz Burns Pool to evening ventures exploring La Quinta’s wide array of dining options. While the pace of summer may be more leisurely for some, the City of La Quinta is hard at work to make a number of enhancements to our neighborhoods, streets and facilities, including:

•

Avenue 53 at Jefferson Street Roundabout Project Construction is underway and will entail a new, modern roundabout at this intersection, as well as add buffered bicycle/golf cart lanes in each direction on Jefferson Street between Ave 52 and Ave 54. Anticipated construction is from June-December 2022 La Quinta Landscape Renovation Projects • Topaz Development: Construction is underway and will convert turf to low maintenance desert landscaping, wall cleaning and painting. Anticipated construction is Summer 2022 • Desert Club Development: Improvements include turf to low maintenance desert landscaping, wall cleaning and painting. Anticipated construction is JulySeptember 2022 • Del Rey/Marbella Development: Work will convert turf to low maintenance desert landscape, wall cleaning and painting. Anticipated construction is AugustOctober 2022 • X-Park Landscape Project: Currently out to bid, will include trees for shade, turf, desert landscaping, and construction of a trash enclosure. Anticipated construction is August-September 2022 Dune Palms Road Projects • Bridge: IEntails construction of a low-water crossing over the Whitewater River at Dune Palms Road, and is currently out to bid. Anticipated construction is from September 2022 through August 2024 • Pavement Rehabilitation: The section of Dune Palms from Fred Waring Drive to Miles Avenue will be improved by reconstructing the pavement with a grind and overlay process. Anticipated construction is August-October 2022 • • Additional Projects in the Planning/Design Phase • Jefferson Street and Highway 111 Intersection Improvements: Preliminary Design is underway for this joint project with the City of Indio which will include improved drainage and road surface

• •

improvements. The intersection has been identified by both staff and residents as a priority project. Avenue 50 Widening Improvements: Another joint project with the City of Indio involves the widening and improvement of the Avenue 50 corridor to modify to the road’s ultimate condition with: ° Two lanes in each direction ° Bike lanes on each side ° Sidewalk on the north side of Avenue 50 ° Decomposed granite trail on southside of Avenue 50 Improved drainage system The City of Indio is in the process of procuring a Design Consultant for this project. Tree Removal: The City will be removing some Tamarisk trees due to decaying and/or being overgrown. The City is taking a pro-active approach to remove the trees to avoid potential property damage to adjacent homes, power lines, pedestrians on the path, and vehicles on Montezuma should the trees/ branches break and fall. ° Tamarisk trees, assessed by a local arborist, will be removed on Carranza and Montezuma. These trees have significant decay and structural deficiencies, and there is a high probability of branch and trunk failure. ° Landscape renovation will be occurring along the Bear Creek Trail from Avenida Carranza to Avenida Obregon for user safety and environmental benefits. These trees have structural defects due to damage from bores, significant decay, and a high potential for branch or trunk failure. ° Non-native plants that are harmful to animals will also be removed. The trail is considered a nature trail, and the City worked with the stewards of the Fred Wolff Bear Creek Nature Preserve to determine the proper plant palate – selecting native plants such as Blue Palo Verde, Desert Willow, Desert Ironwood and Honey Mesquite trees; as well as Desert Lavender, Desert Mallow, Chuparosa, Brittle Bush, Desert Agave and Ocotillo plants. Tree and plant removal is scheduled to continue through mid-July 2022. Once Tamarisk trees are removed, landscape renovation should take 8-10 weeks to remove existing trees and plant material, repair irrigation and installation of new plant materials. Fritz Burns Park Improvements: A master planning process is underway to re-envision Fritz Burns Park including additional amenities. La Quinta Cultural Campus: Master planning and preliminary design is now in process to create a cultural campus on the existing site of the lumberyard building, including space for archiving items from the La Quinta Museum.
