From the meeting
At its September 10, 2026 meeting, the Commission considered Amendment No. 3 to the Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Desert Hot Springs Police Department. The amendment would add $57,000 through June 30, 2027, including up to $30,000 for an autonomous drone system and the rest for supplemental patrols and services.
The staff report said the earlier MOU had expired on June 30, 2026 and this amendment would extend the term to June 30, 2027. It also said the drone would support patrols on CVCC conservation lands and integrate with the Coachella Valley Real Time Intelligence Center.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
