Board Sets The Direction For 2005
The La Quinta Chamber Board of Directors, during its annual planning
session, decided to focus on three issues over the next 12 months
as a result of the August membership survey:
• Membership development and services.
• Membership growth and retention.
• Facilities.
In the area of membership development and services, the Directors established an
Education Committee to develop programs that will augment membership development and
services. Stu Bailey, Pacific Western Bank, will serve as the committee’s first chair.
“We are examining ways to help train the labor force; for example, young people right
out of high school,” said David Howard, chair of the Board of Directors and construction
manager for Cherokee Homes. “Also, we may create workshops for small business owners,
and get them involved with the labor-force training.”
Howard said another idea is to offer monthly, hands-on workshops—on insurance and
taxes, for example—for small businesses. Another is establishment of a Small Business
Assistance Center that could be modeled after SCORE’s program in which retired corporate
executives counsel small businesses. (Look for more detail about the Small Business
Assistance Center concept in the next Gem.)
“Our goal is to create valuable educational programs or tools and more ways to provide
regular, consistent contact with business owners,” he added. “This is in direct response to
the survey results.”
On the second issue—membership growth and retention—Howard said the primary goal
is to entice La Quinta Chamber members into becoming more involved with existing programs,
such as the Power Lunches and the Breakfast Network.
“Our retention rate is very strong, at about 80 percent,” he said. “That’s because
of the tremendous growth in La Quinta and that members find current programs very
valuable. We’d like to see the membership increase in 2005 much as it did in 2004—

7:30 a.m.

Ribbon Cutting & Mixer
Wed., Jan. 26, 2005
4:00 p.m. Ribbon Cutting
5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m.
Mixer — Radio Active
Start practicing on the driving range now. Take a lesson or two. Buy a new putter or
“rescue” club…
Then toss your business cards in your golf bag for golf and a joint mixer with the
Indio Chamber on Thurs., February 17, at Trilogy Golf Club.
The event begins at 2 p.m. with a shotgun “shamble” 9-hole tourney before the evening’s
traditional mixer. Prizes will be awarded for the top three teams. Last year’s event was very
popular, with more than 64 registered to play golf before the mixer.
Trilogy Golf Club at
La Quinta, home of The
Skins Game, is located
at the base of the Santa
Rosa Mountains. Golfcourse
architect Gary
Panks designed the 18hole
championship layout.
The course design
lends itself to the natural
terrain and beautiful
views that overlook the
Valley.
While we won’t be
playing from the “tips” for this event, you might like to know that Trilogy is just under 6,900
yards from the championship tees. The course has five sets of tees, with the middle ones
stretching 6,000 yards while the white ones are set at 5,500 yards.
Directions to Trilogy: From Highway 111 or I-10, exit Jefferson St. and go south to
Avenue 54. Go left (East) at stop sign and travel just over 1 mile to first stop sign
(Madison Street). Turn right, travel south on Madison for 5 miles to Avenue 60. Go left
(East) on Avenue 60, club entrance will be on right.
Look for more information in Chamber mailings and the February issue of The Gem. In the
meantime, if you’d like to register now (because there are only 64 golfing spots), call the
Chamber at 760/564-3199.

TO ANEW YEAR...
Message from the Chair of The Chamber Board of Directors,
DAVID HOWARD, Cherokee Homes
Happy New Year! I wish you all the best for 2005.
I’d like to take a moment to reflect on last year. One highlight
of 2004 is that the Chamber continued to grow membership
by more than 200 new members a year. Plus, we experienced
increased member participation in Chamber programs.
During 2004, we instituted new programs for the membership,
such as the Breakfast Network, the Member-to-Member
Discount Program, and the Breakfast Forum. We also organized—with
the Indio Chamber of Commerce—the first jointchamber
Business Expo and Symposium in March. Because it
was successful and exemplified the positive aspects of working together, we expect the Expo
to be an annual event.
As the Board of Directors looks to what we can and should achieve in 2005, our goals
are: continue to grow membership; institute new programs; and develop additional new
services—such as the new Education Committee—that support members. I will work closely
with the Committee and the Board, seeking new ideas in this area. If you would like to serve
on this Education Committee, please contact the Chamber.
Another important goal for this year is to relocate the Chamber office. As reported in the
article on page 1, the Chamber’s needs and efforts have outgrown the current site. We are
looking for a similar location that provides ease of accessibility and the convenience of being
on or near Highway 111. Why is new space important? It’s simple…a larger facility will
allow us to better support the membership, the economic growth of the community, and the
increased demands of the visitors center.
The La Quinta Chamber begins the New Year filled with excitement and a renewed commitment
to the future. I’m sure it will be a year of achievement for the Chamber. We hope
that the New Year is a happy and successful one for you also.

Happy New Year! Although this year has certainly flown by
in a hurry, we have had a lot of fun along the way and we can
proudly say, “We have made a difference!” Our efforts have
certainly paid off.
Over the past year, the Chamber Membership Services
Committee has been successful, and we have effectively accomplished
another phase of our growth. We are excited about the
launch of our new Chamber logo in January, our new membership
brochure that is due in January, and our membership directory
in February.
Special thanks to all of our ambassadors for a great job done at all of our 2004 events,
and especially to the members of our Membership Services Committee. Anyone interested
in being on our Committee, please contact Ruth in the Chamber office or me, at your
earliest opportunity.
On a personal note, I have enjoyed serving as chairman of the Membership Services
Committee and would like to thank all of you for being there for the Chamber,
the Committee, and especially for me. See you all in the New Year.

PLEASE DON’T CALL IT
“LA LESLIE LAFAYETTE KWINTA”
Note to myself: On one of those January days when everything
seems wrong, when my New Year’s resolutions have already
failed, when I’m disappointed the holidays are over and I didn’t
get those perfect 2-carat diamond earrings (again) and the bills
are due … I will remember to take a good look around and
remember where I am.
I live in the heart of a gorgeous city that shimmers in the sun
when the rest of the country (with few exceptions) is shivering
and huddled in the grey of another snowstorm, rainstorm, or
bone-chilling foggy day.
And, I will promise myself not to be cranky—for at least 20 minutes.
Okay, that’s my first New Year’s commandment to myself (“resolution” sounds so
wimpy.) Here are a few more LA QUINTA NEW YEAR Commandments … you’re
welcome to borrow those you like.
1.Thou shalt never take Monroe Avenue between 3 and 5 in the afternoon—in either
direction—unless you have a lot of reading to catch up on or you really don’t have
anywhere you need to be…for at least an hour.
2.Thou shalt NOT park thy SUV or other oversized gas-guzzling monstrosity two inches
from the little Taurus driven by the littler old lady from Pasadena. She will come out
of the store and ding your car (deservedly) with a vengeance.
3.Thou shalt return thy shopping cart to the designated shopping cart place or (gasp)
even back to the store. Thou shall not just wish it a good life and send it rolling along
its way. The same goeth for those of you at Stater Brothers, and I dare not mention
Wal-Mart for fear that I shall be run over by hundreds of errant carts.
4.Thou shalt hasten to one of our many gyms or spas to work on thy rear end, which
hath started to fill up thy jeans in a rather startling way. (No doubt due to holiday
shenanigans.) A titanic rear end is an abomination in the sight of those 10 or 12
La Quintans who are actually in shape.
5.Thou shalt NOT tear down, build up, add to, repaint, remodel or redecorate ANY
THING for the entire year
of 2005. Give it a rest!
Okay, at least until March.
6.Thou shalt keep an accurate
record of thy strokes on the
golf course. And while we’re
on the subject, thou shalt
PICK UP THY BALL and
MOVETH ON after an
appropriate number of strokes
(not 18!). .
7.Thy family shall be the most
precious gift to enjoy this or
any year. Treat them to dinners
out during season. Yes,
you! During season! Not
every dinner must have a 2for-1
coupon in order to be
enjoyed. .
8.Thou shalt take moments in thy
day to listen to the sound of
the wind in the palm trees and
gaze upon the purple mountains.
I hope some of these commandments
help you have a terrific
New Year.
On a more serious note, I am
newly reminded of what a

KEEP IT OFF
FROM JFK MEMORIAL HOSPITAL:
Information From The American Heart Association
If you've been able to lose weight, good for you! You've taken the extra strain off your
heart and lowered your risk for heart problems. Keeping the extra weight off is often a greater
challenge. But you can do it. You'll find that support from others is very helpful. It takes
commitment to stick to a new, healthy lifestyle. When you do, you may:
• have more self-control with food
• feel stronger
• have better eating habits
• have fewer mood swings and
• be in better overall shape
After you reach your best weight:
• Add about 200 calories of healthy, low-fat food to your average daily intake.
• After a week, if you're still losing weight, add a few hundred more calories.
• If you change the amount of physical activity you do, adjust your eating.
• Keep a record of what you eat and how much physical activity you do, so you'll
know how to make adjustments.
• Keep fresh, low-fat foods around.Use a shopping list, and don't shop when you're hungry.
• When you're hungry between meals, drink a glass of water or eat a piece of fruit
and stay out of the kitchen.
• When you really crave a high-calorie food, eat a small amount and forget about it,
instead of resisting until you give in and gorge on it. If you don't trust yourself with just a
little, don't eat any
at all.
Stay active! Don't
give up your exercise
plan.
If you do find that
you want to shed
unwanted pounds in
2005—join JFK
Hospital’s “Create
Your Weigh” Class.
Starting in January, the
Registered Dietitians at
Yes, you can find many healthy choices among the foods you like!
JFK Memorial Hospital will be offering a series of 10 1-hour nutrition “Create Your Weight”
Classes designed to provide you with the nutrition information you need to make choices
that will help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
For more information, contact Elizabeth Quigley, registered dietitian at JFK Hospital at

LEGISLATIVE CORNER
SENATOR JIM BATTIN
37 TH Senate District
Let me start by wishing everyone a happy and prosperous
New Year. While it seems like the end of each year can fly by
at a hectic pace and produce a number of challenges, I sincerely
hope this Holiday Season also presented you with some
moments of peaceful relaxation and an opportunity to enjoy
both friends and family.
For myself, over the last decade, the end of the year has also
been a time to plan and prepare for the start of a new year in
the state legislature. Thanks to you—the constituents of the
37 TH Senate District—I am honored to continue that process
for the next four years, although I am all too aware of the difficult task that still faces our
state.
While the calendar year is new, this upcoming session in Sacramento will present many
of the same old problems. Overspending on severely bloated state bureaucracies, in conjunction
with years of pushing aside obvious infrastructure needs—specifically transportation,
energy and water—has created and continues to expose a badly broken budget
process. Ignoring problems until they reach a crisis level is not a practical strategy when
setting priorities for the sixth-largest economy in the world.
The structural deficit that persists in California is a direct result of the fundamentally
flawed approach followed by the liberal majority in the Legislature. We cannot continue
to spend beyond our means and then ask taxpayers to ante up even more of their hardearned
income.
I believe sound fiscal policy dictates that we invest in much-needed improvements to our
infrastructure so as to promote economic expansion and encourage new business development
to come to our state. This more prudent approach increases our tax-base through job
creation and does not stifle economic recovery with increased taxes.
While the above ideas represent my economic goals for the upcoming year, you may rest
assured that I will continue to focus my attention on legislative measures aimed at protecting
families with an emphasis on the safety of our children. Public safety is a primary function
of government, and I will insist that it remain a priority in California.
As in the past, I encourage your input on any legislation that may come before me.
Feel free to contact me with your legislative ideas and proposals.
Again, thank you for the opportunity to continue as your state Senator and I look
forward to hearing from many of you throughout this next year.
Senator Battin’s 37 TH Senate District covers the vast majority of Riverside County—from the
Arizona border in the east to the Corona/Norco area in the west, and south to Lake Elsinore. The
Senator has offices in Palm Desert (760) 568-0408 and Moreno Valley (951) 653-9502.

by around 200 new members.”
The Third issue—Chamber facilities—is a priority because more office space is
needed to be able to offer new programs, and to accommodate the growth of the city's
business community, which has led to the chamber's growth.
“Because our organization has grown substantially over the past five years, our needs and
the staff needed to service membership have grown,” said Lew Piper, Board first vice-chair
and chair of the Facilities Committee.
Piper estimates the Chamber’s space needs to be 2,500 sq. ft. The current space is
about 1,000 sq. ft.
“Our offices are inadequate to handle the capacity of collateral materials and other information
that goes to members,” he said. “The space also hampers our ability to bring members
in and to provide a full-service ‘visitors information center.’ We have one small conference
room that won’t even hold a meeting of the full Board.”
The Board hopes to find a solution within the next 12 months.
“We’re looking for ways to partner with the City to pool resources in an effort to meet
the needs of our business community,” Piper said. “We’ve looked at spaces and are weighing
options of leasing versus owning. We may find an interim solution—a good site that will
be adequate for three to five years.”
Howard emphasized that these three issues are interrelated since expansion of programs
to meet membership needs will require more Chamber staff and larger facilities. Look for more
information in next issues of The Gem.

BURGLARS ARE PREDICTABLE.
By Deputy Heather Olsen, La Quinta Police Department
Burglary victims often wonder why the burglar picked their house.
Burglary is a crime of opportunity. A burglar will select a target, which
offers him the best opportunity to carry out his crime undetected, and
which provides him with the fewest number of obstacles. A residence,
which is unoccupied and not secure, is more likely to be targeted than
one, which is properly secured.
Now that the cooler weather has arrived, we enjoy opening our
windows and sliding glass doors for the cool breeze. Side gates and garage doors are often left open
or unsecured. These practices make our residences more accessible. Unfortunately, these are indicators
that the burglar will evaluate when selecting his next target location. We know from experience
that most burglars will bypass secure residences and select residences with open doors and windows
because of the risk factors involved.
Remove the temptation. Wherever possible, try to keep valuables out of sight from windows. If
you return home after playing a round of golf, remember to park your golf cart inside the garage
and secure the door. Often times we feel more secure if we live in a gated community, or have on
sight security, and tend to have the mind set that “It won’t happen to me”.
A residential alarm is an excellent investment. Generally, burglars will bypass homes with posted
alarms and select those without alarms. Alarms that activate a loud audible noise at the residence
and are also monitored by an alarm company are very effective. It is recommended that residential
alarms be activated before you go to bed at night and also when you leave your residence. When
going out, remember to lock all doors and windows. The use of a timer, so that lights, radio and
TV are intermittently activated throughout the house, is an excellent deterrent.
Most burglaries can be prevented, by taking these extra measures to insure your safety and the
security of your residence. La Quinta Police Officers can’t be everywhere at once. However, you and
your neighbors can work together and be aware of strangers and or suspicious activity. You’re the
ones who really know what’s going on in your neighborhood. Use your eyes and ears, and if you
spot something suspicious, call La Quinta Police immediately. Neighbors working together in
cooperation with law enforcement make one of the best crime fighting teams around.

Thanks to Laguna de la Paz Residents!
The residents at Laguna de la Paz heard about the Chamber’s Toys for Tots drive, and
responded with a vanload of toys. “The office was buried in stuffed animals, fire engines,
Bob the Builders, heavy hauler trucks, baby dolls, and games,” said CEO Diane Glanz.
“There is a special place for the wonderful elves at Laguna de la Paz. Thank you to our
members and the wonderful La Quinta residents for their generosity to area children.”
The hundreds of Toys for Tots items from members and Laguna de la Paz were distributed
to Coachella Valley children. The Chamber also presented the U.S. Marines with the
proceeds from the raffle held at the December mixer.
“D.J.” Craig Michaels of Musical Affair Entertainment kept the Toys for Tots
evening spirited for kids of all ages.

Info from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce
FCC’s “Do Not Fax” Rule—The FCC's rule prohibiting organizations from sending commercial
faxes to their members or customers without prior written authorization won't go into
effect until July 1, 2005. The agency granted a 6-month extension in response to a
request by the U.S. Chamber and others. The "Junk Fax Prevention Act of 2004" would
have permanently restored an "established business relationship" as grounds for sending commercial
faxes.
Modernized overtime rules—The Department of Labor's new overtime rules, updated
for the first time in more than 50 years, went into effect in August. The final version of the
Omnibus Appropriations Bill was passed without restrictions on the new rules that are
designed to fit the workplace of the early 21st century. They should be much easier for
employers and employees to interpret.
Workers Comp Reform Working
The California Chamber of Commerce recently reported another sign that reforms to the
workers’ compensation system are working…the State Compensation Insurance Fund filed
a 5-percent average rate decrease—the third such reduction filed by the Fund in 2004.
Workers’ compensation costs had been projected to increase. Also, in 2005, reforms that
will modify the permanent disability-rating schedule will go into effect and should produce
more savings.
OF MEMBER INTEREST…
Also in 2005, Medical Provider Networks (MPNs), a group of providers set up by
an insurer or self-insured employer and approved by the Department of Workers’
Compensation administrative director to treat workers injured on the job, will be available.
MPNs are expected to be an important tool to manage medical costs, while ensuring quality
of care and choice to workers injured on the job.
Rates overall continue to decline and are expected to decline again in 2005 with the
implementation of these new regulations and continued reforms to the workers’ compensation
system that were contained in this year’s overhaul.
Special California Election in Works?
The Los Angeles Times recently reported that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and his
top advisors, meeting privately to plan an agenda for his second year in office, may call a
special election. The newspaper reports that such an election could “upend the state's
political order, redrawing legislative and congressional district boundaries, curbing spending,
and revamping the bureaucracy.”
Gov Seeking Business Input on Healthcare
According to the Sacramento Business Journal, in 2005, California employers will
be asked to provide input on how to solve the many healthcare issues the state faces,
including the uninsured, medical care for the poor, and obesity. The newpapers quoted Kim
Belshe, secretary of the California Health and Human Services Department.
Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund Woes
In a recent release of the October 2004 UI Trust Fund Forecast, California’s
Employment Development Department (EDD) projected that the UI Trust Fund will end
2005 with a small surplus but, by the end of 2005, the fund balance will move much
closer to zero. EDD further projects that the fund will be insolvent in 2006 and approximately
$100 million in the red by Dec. 31, 2006. (Reported in the California Chamber
of Commerce’s Alert newsletter.)
Chamber Website Stats Revealed
Between Sept. 1 and Nov. 30, 2004, the Chamber’s Website received 194,458
hits, equating to 2,137 average hits per day. That equates to an average of 61 Chamber
pages viewed per day. During that time period, there were 1,682 first-time unique visitor
to the site. Of those visitors, nearly 12 percent went to the City’s page, while 9.24
percent visited the dining section and 9.18 percent the golf and recreation area. Other
areas visited were: Chamber News (7 percent); Accommodations (6 percent); Relocation
and Real Estate (5 percent each). Remember to visit the Chamber’s Web site often:

BIZNET 2005 & SYMPOSIUM
COSMO CAPPELLINO, Co-Chair
KEZN-FM, EZ-103.1
BIZNET 2005 & SYMPOSIUM will be Tues., April 5, 2005, at Trump 29 Casino
in Coachella. The event is a co-production of the La Quinta and Indio Chambers of Commerce.
It is my absolute pleasure to co-chair this event with John Stiles of the Indio Chamber.
In 2004, BIZNET was by far the biggest and best-attended business expo in the Valley,
and we promise that it will be even bigger and better this year. I know that everyone will
enjoy the refreshments, because we’re expecting to have a good number of the area’s best
restaurants serving up their specialties. We also expect to have more businesses displaying
their products and
services.
The Symposium
promises to be very
informative because
we will have several
noted speakers who
will provide information
on the Valley’s
current economic situation
and future
growth.
So mark your calendars
for BIZNET
2005 and SYMPOSIUM, Tues., April 5. The symposium starts at 2:30 p.m., followed
by the BIZNET Showcase at 4:30 p.m.
Look for more information in subsequent issues of The Gem and Chamber mailings. For
more information now, call the Chamber at 760-564-3199 or visit the BizNet 2005
Website at www.biznet2005.com.

LEGISLATIVE
MARK HARNER, Chair, Legislative Committee
PACIFIC WESTERN BANK
REPORT
Diane Glanz, Chamber CEO, and I had the privilege of representing
the La Quinta Chamber of Commerce at the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce Regional Government Affairs Conference
on December 2-3, 2004 in San Francisco. Chamber representatives
from California, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Oregon and
Washington State attended.
The conference covered a wide range of topics, including
building better political action committees; promotion of world
trade (import and export); promoting tourism and its benefits to
local economies; analysis of national and statewide election
results; and upcoming national and statewide business issues.
Issues to Monitor—The Chamber’s Legislative Committee will keep an eye on the 18
issues that the California Chamber of Commerce has said it will monitor closely during the
next legislative session. The bill had significant issues: healthcare; ADA reform; the State’s
budget; ensuring transportation dollars are spent on transportation projects; and workmen’s
compensation. A very important issue is undoing “California-only laws” that make doing
business here more difficult than in neighboring states.
Proposition 72—Of note concerning mandatory healthcare insurance, the state Chamber
and La Quinta Chamber supported Proposition 72, which calls for removing the proposed
mandatory small-business, employer-paid health-insurance program. Proposition 72 passed;
however, legislators have made it clear that the issue will be presented to the Legislature again.
Valley’s Enterprise Zone—Of local interest, the Coachella Valley Enterprise Zone authorization
is set to expire in 2006. During the last legislative session, Senator Ducheny authored legislation
to extend the authorization. The bill had significant local business support, but was not
brought up for a vote due to objections of key legislators. Senator Ducheny has reintroduced the
Enterprise Zone (SB6) legislation as an “urgency bill,” and its prospects have improved. The La
Quinta Chamber Legislative Committee will watch the progress of this legislation.
