Thank
you
jay,
so
we
we
can
move
to
items
for
discussion
or
action.
That's
item
eight
on
the
agenda
would
be.
The
reports
first
report
would
be
an
executive
report
from
executive
report
standing
committee,
but
with
the
chair
and
vice
chair
absent,
I
guess
we'll
have
to
defer
that
report
on
the
retreat
until
a
future
meeting.
B
D
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Vanilla,
hey
everybody.
Yes,
I'm
really
excited
when
you
could
imagine
what
happened
this
weekend.
There's
a
lot.
We
were
part
of
the
palm
springs,
a
great
promising
pride,
a
parade,
and
we
know
that
chair
to
heart
is
you
know
the
key,
the
key
person
behind
all
that,
so
we
want
to
definitely
congratulate
him
and
the
greater
palm
springs
pride
for
an
amazing
weekend.
D
To
be
very
frank,
I
only
got
to
do
a
few
things,
including
march
with
lily
and
glenn
and
hugo
and
but
we're
and
and
and
of
course,
city
government,
but
it
was
just
a
beautiful
weekend,
and
I
think
I
you
know,
I'm
as
as
a
gay
member
of
our
community
in
palm
springs.
It's
just
such
a
it's
always
just
wonderful,
because
it
feels
like
homecoming,
even
though
it's
mainly
tourists,
which
is
great
because
the
businesses
were
getting
a
lot
of
you
know,
folks
there
that's
my
quick
thing
about
the
pride.
D
I
appreciate
the
folks
who
were
able
to
come
in
and
help
represent
the
our
human
rights
commission
for
the
the
parade.
We
were
part
of
the
earlier
portion
of
the
parade
and
it
was
a
it's.
It's
a
it's
a
it's
a
walk,
but
it's
definitely
a
a
wonderful
way
to
get
get
our
visibility
there
and
thank
you
so
much
again,
commissioner
loyola
commissioner
flood
and
student
rep
hannah.
D
We
were
the
banner
keepers
and
commissioner
flood
was
in
the
was
in
the
wonderful
posh
ride
with
council
member
grace
garner.
So
it
was
pretty
cool
but
happy
pride
to
everybody
and
also,
as
we
know,
november,
is
native
american
heritage
month.
We
want
to
definitely
pay
honor
to
our
native
american
community
here
in
the
desert
and
everywhere
on
this
month,
but
for
me
every
day
is
native
american
history
and
heritage
month.
So
we
definitely
want
to
definitely
look
at
waze
again.
D
I
look
at
the
master
calendar
as
a
very
great
opportunity
to
look
at
these
proclamations.
Also.
I
think
we've
been
doing
this
throughout
the
year,
and
this
is
you
know,
one
of
the
things.
I've
been
very,
very
interested
as
a
commissioner
to
see
how
we
can
effectively
use
the
master
calendar
in
in
these
ways
to
sort
of
identify,
proclamations
and
and
obviously
communities
have
been
under
or
overlooked.
So
I
think
that's
one
of
the
great
opportunities
as
a
human
rights.
Commissioner,
we
could
look
at
that.
D
I
think
we
should
do
that
going
forward
as
well.
We
do
have
thursday
is
our
veterans
day
parade
and
not
just
veterans
day
but
veterans
day
parade
in
palm
springs,
so
I
we
did
send
out
a
reminder
this
today.
Thank
you
jay.
So
if
anyone
can
volunteer
to
be
part
of
the
parade
again,
we
have
I
have
the
banner
we
can
get
it
going
it's
an
afternoon
parade.
It
starts
at
3
30..
So,
we'll
probably
you
know,
we
can
definitely
do
I'm
gonna.
D
We
could
assemble
a
good
30
minutes
before
that.
It
starts
off
at
ramon
and
palm
canyon
and
walks
up
it
walks
north
on
palm
canyon.
So
that
gives
you
a
sense
of
the
the
map
it
takes
about
30
to
40
minutes
to
walk.
You
know
to
do
this
parade
in
itself,
but
we're
there
to
honor
our
veterans,
and
I
know
that
we
have
a
very,
very
I'm
an
amazing
veterans
community,
I'm
I'm
a
grandchild
and
our
family
is
a
military
family
too.
D
So
we,
you
know,
we
definitely
want
to
honor
those
who
who've
gone
who've
passed,
but
also
those
who
are
who
are
living
veterans-
and
I
I
hope
you
can
all
look
at
that
email
and
sign
up
and
just
give
a
sense
if
you
do
want
to
bring
family.
Let
me
know
that
way.
We
could
keep
that
number
correct
with
the
the
parade
organizers.
D
I
might
all.
My
information
is
in
that
email
as
well,
so
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
me.
We
also
have
the
transgender
day
of
remembrance
this
month.
It's
on
saturday
november
20th.
Please
mark
your
calendars,
for
that.
There
are
a
few
things
going
on
in
the
the
annual
thing
that
happens
at
city
hall
will
be
at
five
o'clock,
and
I
know
the
commission
andrade
you.
C
Essentially
what
it
is
is
a
reading
of
the
names
of
all
the
transgender
population
whose
lives
have
been
sacrificed
in
in
misunderstanding
and
hate
crimes,
and
it's
very
emotional.
Several
people
take
turns
reading
and
there's
a
candlelit
a
kindle
lid
vigil
it
it
lasts
a
couple
of
hours.
Probably
it's
standing,
you
stand
and
the
speakers
rotate
and
come
up
to
the
podium,
but
it's
it's
a
a
very
fitting
and
a
nice
tribute
to
that
population.
D
And
thank
you,
commissioner,
andre
and
since
we're
post-pandemic
in
a
sense,
we're
actually
they're
actually
bringing
back
the
resource
tables.
So
we,
I
believe,
and
I'll
get
this
confirmation
or
whether
or
not
we
can
table
and
be.
You
know,
present
at
a
table
versus
just
a
drive-through
presence
this
year.
So
we'll
get
that
information
to
everybody
before
the
20th
of
this
month.
But
again
get
back
to
me
when,
if
you
count
about
this
thursday
and
thank
you,
everybody.
B
B
D
D
Yeah
and
that's
a
very
good
question
to
commission
vanilla
because
it
does
feels
like
a
misnomer,
but
I
think
it's
it's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
look
at
how
our
community
and
the
master
calendars
look
at.
What
how
are
we
involved
in
the
in
the
larger
community
is
a
master
calendar
and
the
app
is
great.
D
Thank
you,
commercial,
loyal,
and
we
also
have,
if
you
send
an
email
to
dean,
schoolsby
you'll
you'll
get
the
updates,
the
you
know,
including
all
the
commissions
and
everything
so
and
if
you
look
at
that
master
calendar
online,
it
gives
you
the
highlights
of
things
that
are
happening
within
the
month,
but
clearly
it
gets
into
the
real.
You
know
the
nitty
gritty
of
smaller
programming
too,
but
there
are
highlights
there
usually.
B
D
Could
do
both
I
mean
that's
the
whole
thing
about
the
master
calendar.
We
can
actually
feel
you
know
populate
it,
but
we
could.
We
definitely
are
we're.
Looking
at
how
other
or
you
know,
agencies
within
the
city
are
are
using
it
too,
but
yeah.
If
we
have
things
that
we
want
to
populate,
that's
a
very
good
point.
We
should
definitely
get
them
to
to.
B
B
B
Mayor
pro
tem
middleton
reported
that
the
access
center
on
el
cielo
for
the
unhoused
under
the
very
professional
management
of
martha's
village,
had
served
200
clients
with
wraparound
services
and
that
the
city
has
she
reiterated.
The
city
has
a
major
commitment
to
improving
services
to
the
homeless.
A
A
I
think
just
any
it
would
be
a
public
comment,
it's
just
as
individuals,
otherwise
it
would
have
to
have
been
noticed
or
will
need
to
be
noticed
as
a
joint
meeting
again
if
it's
going
to
be
human
rights,
commissioners
and
the
city
council,
but
I
guess
what
I
want
to
say
is:
you
can
definitely
speak
in
your
capacity
as
a
human
rights.
Commissioner,
I
would
be
careful
just
you
know
the
message
careful
speaking
as
the
commission
as
an
individual.
A
You
know
saying
I
represent
the
commission,
because
that
would
be
something
that
the
entire
commission
would
have
taken
a
position
on.
So
that's
really
the
distinction
I
want
to
make
any
comments
feel
free,
go
absolutely
free,
and
you
know
it's
just
speaking
as
a
commission.
We'd
have
to
be
careful.
B
A
B
A
I've
just
heard
limited
information
that
the
november
20th
meeting
it
may
be
an
open
meeting.
So
we'll
all
you
know,
we'll
have
to
get
you
that
clarifying
information
once
it's
set,
but
I
did
hear
in
a
staff
meeting
today
that
you
know
a
lot
of
this
could
be
done
in
a
closed
session
meeting
to
prepare
for
an
open
meeting.
So,
okay.
B
B
E
E
E
The
vote
was
4-1
and
the
city
council
member
grace
garner
voted.
No
because
that's
her
district
and
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
there
were
a
she
held,
a
sort
of
a
zoom
forum
for
people
in
the
in
her
district
and
they
were
over.
I
was
on
that
zoo
about
60
people
or
so
and
by
my
count
I
think
90
did
not
want
that
in
that
section,
but
anyway
it's
voted,
and
so
I
don't
know
what
the
next
step
is
over
there.
E
I
think
they
will
proceed
because
that
that
land
that
property
has
been
bought
by
the
city
will
be
barked
by
about
six
million.
I
think,
but
just
to
say
that
they
had
contacted
me
not
so
much
I
mean
I
lived
in
the
district
also,
but
the
secretary
of
the
association,
the
community
association,
is
aware
that
I'm
on
the
human
rights
commission
and
she
was
asking
if
there's
anything
I
could
do.
E
I
said
really
no,
I'm
concerned,
because
I
am
a
resident
of
the
district,
but
anyway
it
was
something
she
wanted,
because
I
am
sometimes
the
rep
that
goes
to
the
meetings
when
they
had
the
meetings
up
in
person
and
for
other
reasons
I
have
not
been
able
to
go
into
the
zoo
meetings.
But
anyway,
I
just
wanted
to
let
out
that
the
community
association,
the
people
in
that
area,
because
it's
an
area
that
has
some
problems,
I
mean
there's
crime,
there's
drug
dealings
and
sort
of
some
gang-related
activity
that
the
police
are
very
aware
of.
E
B
B
B
We
are
hoping
to.
We
are
tentatively
planning
to
have
a
follow-up
meeting.
It's
a
public
meeting
on
tuesday
november
23rd,
the
tuesday
before
thanksgiving
at
5,
30
and
we'll
work
with
jay
to
post
an
agenda
and
get
that
out
to
the
public
as
well.
But
I'd
like
to
thank
my
fellow
committee
members
for
their
participation.
B
B
C
C
I
know
that
we
probably
need
to
stay
up
to
date.
With
that
stuff
it's
been
a
while
and,
and
we
would,
we
would
maybe
need
a
little
remedial
training.
We
do
have
a
lot
of
printed
resources,
though
as
well.
So
I
hope
that's
what
the
city
wanted
was
to
in
the
event
that
we
were
called
upon
to
perform
the
mediation
services
that
are
called
for
in
our
charter,
that
we
would
have
people
that
were
seated
that
were
able
to
do
it,
and
we
have
three.
C
B
D
D
It
includes
it's
included
in
the
in
the
one
that
annie
sent
us
all
jaina
and
he
sent
I.
I
know.
I
know
that
the
chair
pulled
it
so
I'm
I
I'm
I'm
not
going
to
assume
what
he
wants
to
necessarily
talk
about,
but
I
could
give
you
a
quick
update
of
where
sustainability
went
with
it
last
month
in
october.
Does
that
would
that
be
helpful
and
and
jay?
Please
like
correct
me
if
there's
anything
that
I
mess
up
on,
but
they
they
are
in
the
process
of
drafting
what
they've
done.
D
Is
you
know
this
process
of
this
ordinance?
This
drafting
of
the
ordinance
has
been
actually
a
very
long
process.
It's
been
over.
I
think
it's
over
a
year
right,
jay
even
even
longer.
I
think.
Oh
three
years,
oh
well,
I
see
I've
already
totally
repressed
that,
but
but
but
for
the
year
that
I
was
coordinating
it
from
our
commission.
Just
to
give
you
all
that
level
of
transparency
like
it
was
a
matter
of
just
again
presenting
it
to
us
as
a
commission.
D
D
There
was
also
a
discussion
about
the
removal
of
the
no,
so
there
would
no,
there
would
be
no
private
right
of
action
portion
of
it.
Is
that
correct
jay?
If
you
remember
that,
I
don't
know.
If
there's
anything,
you
could
help
define
about
that.
But
it's
about
it's
really
about
sort
of
how
third
parties
could
report
on
people
and
it's
you
know
that
you
know
this.
This
ordinance
would
be
in
effect
a
way
for
folks
to
report
smoke
as
a
nuisance.
D
So
they
would,
they
would
report
it
to
the
city
as
such
and
and
the
city
would
handle
it.
In
that
sense,
the
equity
questions
were
about
of
people
being
able
to
smoke.
I
think
in
those
areas
that
I
listed
earlier,
and
the
main
arguments
were,
of
course,
that
the
organizations
like
the
american
lung
association
have
really
supported
that
we
need
to
do
these
kind
of
prohibiting
smoking
in
multi-family
units
and
like
apartments,
condominiums
and
public
areas,
to
help
make
sure
that
people
are
not
affected
by
secondhand
smoke.
D
Because
folks,
who
are
living
in
units
where
secondhand
smoke
gets
into
you,
know
the
air
systems
and
it
could
be
dangerous
again
for
those
in
adjacent
units
that
that
motion
again
as
they're
drafting
the
the
the
sustainability
is
motion
passed
so
they're
they're,
actually
in
the
process
of
developing
the
staff
report.
For
the
step,
the
city
council
to
review,
I
totally
went,
you
know
full
circle
on
that,
but
jay
is
there
anything
I
could
else.
I
could
report
on
with
regards
to
that.
B
So
do
we
have
to
do
anything
with
the
draft
ordinance
that
was
in
annie's
packet,
or
I
mean
I
tried
to
read
it?
I
read
the
I
skipped
all
the,
whereas
because
that's
all
like
background,
I
just
focused
on
the
amendments
to
the
municipal
code,
but
I
wasn't
really
sure
what
I
was
supposed
to
do.
If
anything
except
read
it.
D
If
we're
on
the
precipice
of
like
something
happening,
we
need
to
be
very
much
again
aware
as
a
commission,
because
you
know
equity
issues,
equity
issues
will
come
up
and
this
will
be
in
regards
to
like
businesses,
and
you
know,
people's
rights,
if
you
will,
in
the
public
area
and
and
employees
rights,
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
folks
who
are
protected
in
this
ordinance.
If
you,
if
you
have
read
through
it,
so
I
hope
I
hope
those
were
you
know
pretty.
You
know
clear.
C
D
C
D
D
B
D
B
All
right,
so
next
up
on
the
agenda
is
community
service
awards
application
process.
I
know
there
was
material
in
our
packet.
Regarding
that
I
don't
know
if
the
chair
was
planning
to
speak
to
this
process
or
jay.
Were
you
gonna
speak
to
the
process,
since
I
guess
you're,
the
recipient
of
any
nomination
forms.
A
A
B
Great
great,
thank
you,
commissioner
robles
and
andrade
for
volunteering,
and
I
my
only
question
jay
would
be.
Are
we
as
commissioners?
I
know
we're
not
eligible
to
receive
an
award.
Are
we
permitted
to
disseminate
information
about
this
community
service
award
in
the
process
for
applying,
or
do
we
just
just
direct
them
to
you
if
they.
C
And
and
as
commissioners
we
can
nominate
ourselves,
I
mean
not,
okay,
let
me
back
up.
We
can
place
nominations
ourselves.
We
can
nominate
folks
so
keep
that
in
mind
that
if
you
know
people
that
you
feel
are
worthy
of
this
look
over
the
criteria
that
that
we
encourage
commissioners
to
to
actually
be
involved
in
the
nomination
process.
C
C
C
I
think
there's
a
maximum
number
j
is
there,
I
mean
it's
just
you
know
the.
I
think
it's
just
everything
is
decided
on
its
own
merit,
and
so
you
know
that
yeah
I
I
think
we've
had
we've
had
less
than
certain
years
and
more
than
others,
so
it
just
depends
on
yeah
the
the
people
that
are
that
are
nominated
and
you'll
see
on
the
application.
What
the
criteria
is
and
that
kind
of
thing
so
absolutely
spend
some
time
looking
at
it
and
again,
you
can
also
forward
it
to
people
that
you
know
that.
B
Great,
thank
you.
I
think
that
sounds
like
a
really
worthwhile
endeavor
to
pursue.
So
I
know
I
will
take
a
look
at
the
past
honorees
and
I
encourage
everybody
to
think
about
nominating
individuals
based
on
the
general
criteria,
as
well
as
organizations
that
might
be
eligible
for
this
community
service
award.
C
One
other
thing
that
I
just
want
to
throw
in
here
is
that
we
spent
a
lot
of
time
without
a
student
representative,
and
now
we
have
one
and
I
correct
me
again,
jay
I
don't
need
to
put
you
on
the
spot,
but
we
can
have
younger
people
that
are
nominated
as
well.
They
don't
have
to
be
necessarily
you
know
old
folks
for
lack
of
a
better
term.
C
I
mean
you
know
lily.
You
might
know
people
in
school
that
are
just
you
know,
awesomely
involved
in
human
rights,
things
maybe
you'll
be
nominated.
I
don't
know,
but
I
I
just
think
it's
nice
to
have
the
opportunity
to
expand
our
list
of
nominees.
We've
we've
been
through
a
lot
of
the
people
that
are
the
obvious
ones
in
the
city,
as
you
look
at
when
you
see
the
list,
but
I
don't
think
there's
a
prohibition,
jay
correct
me.
If,
if
you
think
I'm
wrong
or
you
want
to
look
it
up,
there's.
A
B
A
B
B
D
I
actually
just
want
to
remind
everybody
that-
and
I
think
everyone
gets
this
if
you're
on
facebook
you'll
get
the
reminder
about
palm
springs
registering
this
year.
So
please
get
it
if
you,
if
you
can
get
involved,
they've
already
been
having
some
of
the
public
meetings,
public
hearings
and
the
next
one.
Actually
there
is
another
public
hearing
happening
on
the
ninth
of
december.
D
This
is
actually
a
reminder
about
that.
So,
if
you
go
to
palm
springs.org,
you'll
get
the
whole
full
calendar
of
what's
happening,
and
you
can
see
the
breakdown
of
where
the
community
workshops
are
happening
throughout
the
city
of
palm
springs,
as
well
as
the
phases-
and
you
know,
sort
of
the
goal
towards
march
of
next
year
to
have
the
city
of
palm
springs
redistricted.
My
other
thing,
and
actually
it's
very
much
related,
because
commissioner
flood
brought
it
up
because
you
know
as
we're
both
residents
of
district
1
and
you
saw.
D
I
think
this
is
a
very
important
issue.
You
know
when
we
look
at
homelessness
in
our
in
our
city,
because
we
what
we,
what
we
just
witnessed
in
in
it's
the
city
council
meeting
last
week,
was
that
it
was
very
much
like
the
discussion
was
about
district
one.
You
know
we
have
to
look
at
the
sort
of
disparities
of
our
city
and
and
listen
and
to
listen
to
our
constituents.
D
D
The
discussion
was
very,
very
difficult.
I'm
going
to
just
say
this
as
an
announcement,
because
you
heard
the
class
disparities,
the
real
sort
of
level
of
sort
of
denigrating
people,
because
you
know
the
class
that
they're
in
so
I'm
really
really
hoping
that.
Maybe
you
know-
and
this
is
not
necessarily
an
issue
we'll
bring
up-
it-
may
be
something
that
could
be
brought
into
our
agenda
jay.
But
I'm
not
sure
how
to
go
about
that.
D
But
I
think
it's
a
matter
of
the
liaison
sort
of
like
effectively
working
out
on
that,
but
again
we're
not
in
the
room
to
talk
about
issues
right
now,
because
it
would
be
a
total
issue.
But
I
want
to
just
use
that
this
opportunity
to
say
you
know
we
do
have
these
opportunities
to
watch
our
city
council
meetings
and
listen
to
the
language,
because
it
really
does
have
an
effect
on
a
lot
of
people
and
that
vote
that
council
member
garner
made
was
a
very,
very
strong
vote
and
it
was.
D
C
I
have
another
issue
totally
different,
but
jay
you
sent
us
earlier
today.
A
notice
of
the
measure
j
community,
initiated
projects,
application
form
that
the
city
has
a
million
dollars
in
measure,
j
funds
that
can
be
used
for
community
initiated
projects
and
the
human
rights
commission
is
an
eligible
entity
or
party
to
apply
for
something
like
that.
C
A
C
So
could
we
create
an
ad
hoc
committee
this
evening
to
discuss
possible
again
time
is,
is
of
the
essence,
but
could
we
create
an
ad
hoc
committee
tonight
tonight
to
discuss
possible
submissions
possible
areas
to
submit
things
of
that
nature?
Would
that
work
or
would
we
need
and
then
maybe
call
for
a
full
special
meeting?
I
don't
know
again
the
time
limits.
The
time
is
close,
very
close,
so.
A
C
D
Yes,
I
love,
commissioner
andre
I'm
so
glad
you
brought
that
up.
Thank
you.
This
is
sort
of
the
you
know
when
we're
reminded
like
how
can
we
effectively
do
stuff
and
and
we've
given
these
timelines,
I'm
so
glad
you
brought
it
up
that
way.
Thank
you.
I
totally
support
this,
and
if
we,
if
there
are
some
things
that
come
up
in
this
in
your
in
your
ad
hoc
committee,
I
think
it'd
be
great
to
see
how
we
can
very
much.
You
know
take
advantage
of
that.
That's
a
lot
of
money.
B
I'm
happy,
I
think
it's
a
great
idea
too.
I'm
happy
to
participate
on
the
ad
hoc
committee
to
look
at
putting
and
I'm
assuming
your
commissioner
andrade.
Your
goal
here
is,
we
would
come
up
as
the
ad
hoc
committee
come
up
with
the
actual
application
for
a
community
initiated
project
which
you
alluded
to.
You
have
some
ideas
about
and
then
present
that
at
the
special
membership
special
meeting
of
the
full
commission
for
their
approval
prior
to
december
1.,
it
would
have
to
get.
C
B
B
I'm
just
wanting
jay
if
you're,
given
that
we
have
thanksgiving
in
there
and
you're
kind
of
the
driver,
is
to
win
this
special
meeting
of
the
full
commission
could
be.
Do
you
have
availability
prior
to
the
deadline
for
the
application
that
we
could
pencil
in
our
special
meeting
of
the
human
rights
commission?
Or
do
you
have
to
run
that
by
the
chair.
A
B
A
B
C
C
A
A
B
B
B
B
B
C
B
Great
thank
you.
Okay
agenda
items
for
the
next
regular
meeting
of
the
human
rights
commission.
I
don't
have
anything
specifically.
I
know
if
any
other
commissioners
have
something
I
thought
I
heard.
Commissioner
ramran
mentioned
something
that
you
thought
might
be
a
good
agenda
item
for
our
next
meeting.
Did
you
want
to?
No,
I
moved
that
forward.
B
A
The
chair
to
heart
and
myself,
and
that
way
you
know
we
know-
and
you
know
sometimes
the
agenda
can
get
kind
of
crowded,
so
it
they'll
look
at
it
and
figure
out
what
can
go
and
what
may
be
able
to
wait.
So
it
sounds
like
there's
going
to
be
some
discussion
about
measure
j
funds
at
the
next
meeting
so
meeting
whose
will
be
adjuring
to
a
special
meeting
on
november
29th
right.
B
A
B
B
B
B
Okay,
well
I'll,
go
ahead
and
make
the
motion
to
adjourn
this
meeting
to
our
special
meeting
of
the
human
rights
commission
schedules
for
monday
this
november,
29
2021
at
5
30
p.m.
Do
I
have
a
second
on
the
motion
to
adjourn.
I
second
thank
you,
commissioner.
Roblaise

those
in
favor
