Coachella Prospera Grant Update: City Seeks Pre-Purchase of Senior Shuttle Bus Amidst Funding Requirements
The City Council received an update on the Coachella Prospera initiative, funded by a $22.125 million Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) Implementation Grant. The grant includes a sustainable transportation component tied to the Casa Siena senior apartments project. Residents chose to allocate funds towards a shuttle bus for seniors. The city is seeking authorization to pre-purchase a zero-emission or ultra-low emission diesel bus due to immediate transportation needs, as the apartments are not expected to be occupied until October 2027. TCC guidelines require specific vehicle types and have stipulations on pre-purchasing. Staff is obtaining new quotes for compliant vehicles and will present options to council.
Coachella Confirms Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District Assessments for FY 2026-2027

The resolution initiates proceedings in accordance with the Landscape and Lightning Act of 1972. A supplemental information document was added to correct typos in the engineer's report regarding the description of work to be performed in each district. No public comments were received.
Coachella City Council Approves Amended Sports League MOU with Fee Adjustments and New Clauses
The City Council took action on the 14th Amended and Restated Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the city and sports leagues (CVSL and CESA), approving it with several modifications after extensive public comment. Key changes include maintaining Field 3 at Bagduma Park for CVSL in the spring, adding a non-discrimination clause, revising financial audit requirements, mandating league notification of offenses, clarifying community field use days, phasing in field use fees over three years (0% in year 1, 25% in year 2, 50% in year 3), setting a three-year term with a two-year extension option, and prohibiting subleasing fields to for-profit clubs. The council also clarified that league fees would not be directly passed on to players and addressed concerns about club operations and field allocation fairness. The council voted to approve the MOU with these modifications.
Coachella Adopts Policy for Hybrid Meeting Disruptions, Enhancing Remote Participation Safeguards
The City Council reviewed and approved a disruption policy for hybrid meetings, as required by Senate Bill 707. The policy mandates immediate announcement of disruptions to remote services, a recess of at least one hour for troubleshooting, and outlines options if services cannot be restored: adjourning the meeting, continuing the recess, or proceeding with the meeting if a public interest finding is made. The policy also formalizes procedures for warnings and removal of disruptive individuals from meetings, whether in person or online. The policy applies specifically to the city's system and not to public connection issues.
