Description
The Palm Springs City Council Meeting, held May 12th, 2022
A
A
B
Six
weeks
ago,
a
good
friend
of
mine,
keith
kohler
a
long
time
palm
springs
resident,
and
I
were
undertaking
a
journey
to
ride
our
bikes
from
san
diego
to
st
augustine
florida.
We
made
it
with
10
other
cyclists.
As
far
as
austin
texas
on
the
morning
that
we
were
leaving
to
go
to
lagrange
keith
first
was
hit
by
a
car,
and
then
I
was
keith
was
thrown
about
30
feet.
His
bicycle
was
broken
into
four
pieces.
B
My
leg
was
broken.
I
receive
wounds
that
I'm
still
recovering
from
and
every
morning
I
wake
up
and
I'm
thankful
for
my
blessings
and
how
good
fortune
and
what
good
fortune
I
have,
because
I
am
recovering
I'm
also
privileged
to
have
had
the
opportunity
to
crawl
on
my
hands
and
knees
to
keith,
to
hold
on
to
him
and
to
tell
him
how
much
I
loved
him.
B
While
he
died
the
site,
the
motors
didn't
stop,
there's
no
telling,
and
there
may
never
be
any
telling
what
circumstances
might
have
caused
them
to
swerve
into
us
or
to
leave
without
stopping.
But
I
do
know
that
as
cyclists,
we
were
following
all
laws
and
we
were
using
best
practices
for
safety
and
for
sharing
the
roads.
B
B
He
rode
his
bike
in
croatia
and
slovenia
and
italy
and
rome
and
france
and
germany
and
places
I
couldn't
even
find
on
a
map.
If
I
tried
to
as
much
as
I
recognized
that
we
lost
a
wonderful
person
and
a
unique
person,
I
know
also
that
the
families
of
friends
of
will
campbell
and
richard
morales
and
christopher
jones
and
william
mohan
and
yasinio
de
anda
all
lost
unique
and
special
people,
just
since
2020,
when
the
bicycles
that
they
were
riding
on
were
hit
by
motorists.
B
B
For
cyclists,
you
need
to
know
all
of
that
plus
you
need
to
use
best
practices
in
wearing
bright,
colors
and
reflective
clothing.
You
need
to
wear
helmets
and
headlights
and
tail
lights,
and
you
need
to
always
always
drive
in
the
direction
of
traffic
for
everybody.
It's
important
to
know
that
it
is
no
safer
to
ride
a
bicycle
after
drinking
than
it
is
to
drive
after
drinking.
C
Thanks
laurie
thanks
for
having
us
next
wednesday,
we're
going
to
have
a
rite
of
silence
here
at
ruth
hardy
park
in
palm
springs.
C
It's
part
of
an
of
a
global
event
that
occurs
in
in
various
cities
around
the
globe,
all
at
seven
o'clock
local
time,
and
so
we're
going
to
be
we're
going
to
gather
at
ruth
hardy
at
6
30.
we're
going
to
to
be
able
to
to
enjoy
each
other's
company.
We're
going
to
have
comments
by
by
the
leading
officials
here
in
the
valley
and
then
at
seven
o'clock.
We're
going
to
have
we're
going
to
have
the
rite
of
silence.
C
We're
crafting
this
event
to
be
especially
inclusive.
We're
going
to
make
sure
that
people
of
all
levels
of
all
ages,
whether
or
not
they
have
bicycles,
can
come
to
and
and
promote
the
concept
of
of
safe,
being
safe
on
the
streets.
C
And
the
so
so
so
the
the
story
is
that
we're
at
seven
o'clock
we're
going
to
have
a
short,
a
short
loop
on
on
some
very
safe
streets
over
in
that
neighborhood
up
to
muralist,
back
back
down
to
cabrillo's
and
we're
going
to
have
a
couple
of
a
couple
of
relatively
short
loops
so
that
anybody
of
any
of
any
capability
can
can
enjoy,
can
join
us
and
enjoy
it.
And
then
the
other
thing
is
that
if
any
of
you
need
to
have
your
bikes
tuned
up
to
participate.
C
A
A

F
Hello,
I'm
lars
vickland.
Thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you,
city,
council
members,
for
having
me
and
listening
to
me
tonight,
I'm
here
to
night
to
oppose
the
fuego
nightclub.
E
Madam
mayor,
if
I
could
the
council
closed
the
public
hearing
at
the
last
meeting
so.
A
F
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
I
signed
up
to
speak
at
the
last
meeting
for
two
minutes,
but
I
never
got
called
so.
I
was
on
the
phone,
but
anyway
I
own
a
few
businesses
in
palm
springs
the
last
25
years,
the
del
marcos,
hotel
la
serena
villas
and
the
350,
but
I
also
own
the
orleans
apartment
buildings
which
is
adjacent
to
the
bank.
Building
where
fuego
is
trying
to
put
in
a
nightclub.
I
represent
tonight
about
approximately
50
tenants
that
live
in
the
apartment
buildings,
I
believe
about.
F
20
of
them,
wrote
letters
and
sent
them
into
the
city
to
oppose
fuego
they're,
we're
all
very
concerned
about
the
noise
at
that
time.
In
the
morning,
a
lot
of
the
tenants
have
lived
in
the
building
for
20
years.
A
lot
of
them
are
elderly,
a
lot
of
them
have
medical
conditions
and
they're
very
concerned
about
the
noise.
The
parking
lot
backs
up,
it's
very
adjacent
to
the
bedroom
windows
and
the
doors
in
some
places,
probably
about
three
feet
away
from
the
parking
lot
where
the
bank
is
we
do
have.
F
We
do
share
one
wall
as
well.
The
limited
amount
of
parking,
also
at
the
bank
building,
is
very
concerning
to
all
the
tenants
there's
already.
We
have
huge
problems
for
parking
on
thursday,
friday
and
saturday
nights
and
as
well
as
we
have
big
problems
with
noise
at
the
apartment
buildings
from
the
existing
clubs,
which
are
the
village
pub
and
moxie,
and
we're
very
concerned
with
the
new
bar,
the
chill
bar
going
in
that
has
not
opened
yet
that's
going
to
exasperate
all
the
noise
issues
and
problems
that
we
have
for
parking
in
the
area.
E
The
opening
of
the
nightclub
next
to
our
building
415
south
palm
canyon,
will
have
a
definite
negative
impact
on
our
business.
Parking
is
very
limited
in
the
bank
building
parking
area.
The
guests
would
be
parking
in
our
lot
at
night
or
on
billarda
road
in
the
only
access
to
palm
canyon
drive
is
by
walking
through
our
property.
E
E
The
increase
in
traffic
on
our
property
late
into
the
night
will
bring
increase
in
criminal
activity.
Vandalism
graffiti
and
trash
this
proposed
venue
would
aggravate
the
present
issue
and
will
impact
our
ability
to
provide
safe,
patient
access
to
health
care
in
our
clinic,
we'll
be
subject
to
additional
expenses
of
security
and
landscaping
services.
E
G
Yeah,
could
you
thank
you
very
much
just
what
are
your
hours
of
operation.
E
H
Good
evening,
mayor
matt,
madam
mayor
and
city
council,
matt,
chuck
general
manager
of
the
avalon
and
ingleside
in
spoke
at
last
meeting,
but
wanted
to
reiterate
our
mine
and
my
owner
brad
corson's,
significant
concerns
and
and
proposal
of
the
fuego
nightclub.
Just
a
a
tip
we
in
the
month
of
march,
the
tot
tax
reached
a
record
rate
of
six
million
dollars.
My
two
hotels
are
in
the
top
five
contributors
to
that
tot
tax.
H
Our
concerns,
as
such,
I
think,
are
very
valid
in
the
fact
that
we
continue
to
drive
rate
continue
to
bring
business,
continue
to
set
record
adrs
and
occupancy
rates
and
could
be
significantly
impacted
by
putting
a
club
such
as
this,
in
our
front
yard,
are
also
our
concerns
are
the
parking
situation.
As
I
was
reiterated,
34
parking
spots,
I
believe,
for
the
the
entire
nightclub.
Those
parking
spots
will
happen
on
the
eisenhower
lot.
H
The
only
access
to
the
club
from
from
the
back
of
the
of
of
the
property
is
through
the
eisenhower
lot.
Therefore,
forcing
many
of
those
of
those
club
goers
to
park
in
bellardo
and
the
lots
across
from
us
exiting
the
the
the
club
at
two
in
the
morning,
our
windows
face
directly
into
the
windows
of
the
proposed
fuego
nightclub
again
and
no
disrespect
to
the
applicant.
H
But
when
we
did
research,
we
do
not
see
any
clubs
that
they
have
have
run
and
run
successfully
and
therefore
are
not
confident
that
the
security
plan
put
forward
would
be
able
to
be
implemented
and
actualized
upon.
That's
a
significant
concern
for
our
many
guests
and
many
patrons
to
our
outlets,
and
we
would
ask
you
consider
a
final
vote
of
no
in
this
matter.
Thank
you.
I
Thank
you
for
having
me,
my
name
is
kelly
vickland
and
I
own
with
my
husband,
la
serena
villas
del
marcos,
hotel
and
the
350
all
on
bellardo,
we're
very
concerned
about.
When
the
noise
I
mean
we
had
to
shut
down
for
three
months,
we're
still
rebuilding
our
business.
We've
put
our
heart
and
soul,
into
our
hotels
and
to
our
restaurant
and,
as
matt
said,
we
definitely
drive
the
economy
and
help
the
community
and
and
love
our
community.
I
We're
just
very
very
concerned
how
this
is
going
to
negatively
affect
our
guests
experience
and
that
in
the
hospitality
business
is
our
main
concern.
So
we're
already
dealing
with
entitlement
and
you
I
know
you
all
know
like
since
covetous
started
the
short
staffing
and
to
put
that
another
layer
upon
us
just
seems
very,
very
daunting,
and
I
hope
that
you
know
those
planning
commission
voted
it
down,
seven
to
zero,
and
I
thought
okay,
we're
good.
I
It's
not
a
quick
response
because
they
too
are
understaffed,
as
many
of
us
are
so
I'm
just
really
hoping
that
you'll
see
through
to
voting
down
and
saying
no
to
fuego.
And
lastly,
the
parking
issue
is
already
a
disaster.
We
have
village
pub,
we
have
the
street
fair,
we
have
the
homeless
problem.
We
had
to
put
additional
parking
in
our
hotel
just
for
our
18
rooms,
so
I
haven't
seen
really
a
good
plan
that
fuego
is
addressing
for
that.
That
won't
be
problematic.
I
A
G
Chance
to
read,
through
the
conditions
of
approval
that
staff
presented,
I
think,
there's
like
eight
or
nine
dealing
with
noise.
Have
you
had
a
chance
to
read
those.
I
I
mean
we're
already
having
one
club
there,
that's
going
to
directly
affect,
as
matt
said,
that
the
new
club's
directly
across
from
delmarcus,
I
just
don't
see
the
nightclubs
being
in
a
residential
facility,
especially
you
know,
the
historical
tennis
district
and
our
properties
are
historical
and
we've
had
to.
You
know,
really
really
abide
by
strict
guidelines,
so
that
would
be
the
nine
bullet
points
did
not
make
me
feel
any
more
secure
that
this
could
be
a
good
venture
to
go
into.
I
B
Oh
tempeh,
good
evening,
mayor
council,
I'm
speaking
you
tonight
as
the
secretary
of
the
historic
tennis
club
organization
incorporated
and
as
a
full-time
resident
of
the
historic
tennis
neighborhood
we're
a
unique
neighborhood
that
has
coexisted
with
many
small
boutique
hotels.
Over
the
years
we
have
found
that
mixed
use.
Neighborhoods
has
many
advantages.
B
The
key
element
to
this
coexistence
is
that
we
respect
each
other
as
neighbors.
We
are
sensitive
to
noise,
parking
traffic
and
large
groups
that
visit
our
neighborhood
on
a
regular
basis.
Throughout
the
year
the
fuego
nightclub
cup
was
denied
by
the
planning
commission
as
it
does
not
meet
the
criteria
of
being
a
good
neighbor
or
an
asset
to
the
neighborhood.
B
Bruce
t
bauer
wrote
an
excellent
letter
on
april
21st
2022.
That
outlines
very
clearly
why
this
project
is
not
a
good
fit
for
the
location
or
the
neighborhood.
He
represents
a
number
of
hotels
in
the
area,
along
with
an
apartment,
complex,
I've
spoken
to
additional
small
hotels
in
the
neighborhood,
and
they
concur
that
this
project
would
not
be
an
asset
to
the
neighborhood.
We
are
asking
the
city
council
to
respect
the
residents
and
the
small
business
owners
of
our
neighborhood
and
uphold
the
planning
commission's
unanimous
recommendation
to
deny
this
conditional
use.
K
Good
evening
mayor
middleton,
mayor
potum,
gardner
and
city
council,
my
name
is
jeff
jones
and
my
comments
are
about
fuego
nightclub.
I
reside
at
372
south
below
road
in
the
historic
tennis
club
neighborhood.
My
comments
are
concerning
the
proposed
nightclub
at
383,
south
palm
canyon,
my
location
and
the
residences
at
373.
South
palm
canyon
together
make
up
the
orleans
apartments
property.
I
was
surprised
and
disappointed
to
learn
the
applicant
for
the
fuego
nightclub
is
appealing
the
planning
commission's
decision
march
denying
the
application,
though
it
is
completely
within
their
right
to
do
so.
K
During
the
commission's
meeting
in
march,
this
would
devastate
our
quality
of
life.
The
bank
building
is
not
just
next
door
to
the
orleans.
The
structures
are
literally
adjoined
on
the
palm
canyon.
Side
of
the
property
photos
were
sent
to
city
council
earlier,
so
you
can
clearly
see
the
close
proximity.
K
K
K
B
C
B
Of
our
all
of
our
neighbors
and
we
all-
oh
okay,
I'm
a
little
shorter.
B
Something
that
could
basically
pull
people
out
of
the
apartment
building.
Nobody
wants
to
live
next
to
a
club,
as
somebody
said
before.
Would
you
like
to
live
next
to
a
disco,
a
club
somewhere
where
there's
350
people
roaming
around
the
streets
at
three
four
in
the
morning
after
they
get
out
go
to
their
car?
B
You
know
maybe
even
have
cocktails
at
their
car
waiting
hanging
out.
I
mean,
I
don't
know
if
you
heard,
but
of
course
down
the
street
is
the
village
pub
they've
had
shootings,
they
have
stabbings
all
kinds
of
drugs.
I
mean
drug
addicts
and
homeless
are
all
over
the
place.
So
what
we
ask
you
also
is:
we
have
at
least
six
or
eight
elderly
that
are
living
in
the
building
that
cannot
move.
B
They
can't
afford
to
move
and
their
lifestyle
will
be
completely
changed
if
they
had
to
move
so
we're
asking
to
please
think
about
it
that
none
of
us
really
want
to
live
next
to
a
nightclub
and,
of
course,
the
parking
situation
and
everything
that
jeff
said.
I
agree
with
good
afternoon
brittany,
tom.
B
Hi,
my
name
is
brittany,
tom,
I'm
also
resident
at
the
new
orleans
apartment
and
like
laura
and
jeff
said,
I'm
also
I'm
very
strongly
opposed,
as
is
many
of
the
tenants
here
there.
I
have
brought
letters
from
the
tenants
signing
them.
Basically,
you
know
stating
that
they're
opposed
to
it
just
to
show
you
how
many
of
us
are.
You
know
very.
B
I
wouldn't
wouldn't
think
this
is
a
great
idea
at
all.
It
would
just
it
would
really
disrupt
our
quality
of
life,
as
everyone
said.
In
addition
to
all
the
obvious
reasons,
you
know
the
parking
and
the
noise
one
thing
about
the
noise
that
I
want
to
bring
up
in
a
club.
It's
super
super
like
really
really
loud
and
there's
also
base.
So
with
the
base.
It's
it's
going
to
be
shaking
our
building
like
in
the
late
hours
of
the
night
that
I
don't
think
many
have.
You
know
really
thought
about
that.
B
So
I
wanted
to
bring
that
up,
but
going
back
to
just
the
residence
I
mean
I
brought
up
in
the
first
meeting.
How
would
you
like
to
live?
You
know
next
to
your
nightclub.
It's
just
not
fun.
We're
normal
people,
we
have,
you,
know
nine-to-five
jobs
monday
through
friday,
like
we
need
to
sleep,
it's
really
disruptive
and,
like
laura
said,
there's
elderly
I've
also
brought
pictures
here
just
to
show
you
how
close
the
proposed
building
is
to
our
apartment
complex.
B
So
there
I
am,
I'm
literally
touching
touching
the
proposed
location,
so
I
can
touch
it
from
my
apart
from
my
apartment,
complex
and
then
this
is
just
shows
how
close
this
is
and
right
actually
right
behind
me
is
an
elderly
lady
who's
also
very
sick,
and
this
would
literally
just
crush
her
health
she's
in
the
worst
spot.
B
A
Okay,
seeing
now
seeing
no
more
additional
speakers,
the
public
testimony
is
now
closed.
The
next
item
is
the
consent
calendar.
I
will
entertain
a
motion
to
accept
the
consent
calendar
without
the
following
item,
which
was
removed
for
separate
discussion
item
1
in
m,
as
in
mesquite.
A
Are
we
going
to
do
emotions
orally
or
orally?
Please,
okay,
thank
you.
We
have
a
motion.
Do
we
have
a
second
thank
you
and
are
we
voting
orally
or
yes?
Okay,
welcome.
A
A
And
we
will
move
to
item
m
as
in
mesquite
and
councilmember
coors.
You
asked
this
item
to
be
pulled.
D
Great
thank
you
mayor.
I
pulled
this
for
two
reasons:
one
when
we
looked
at
this
item,
which
is
the
guaranteed
income
project
money
to
help
apply
for
state
funding
with
dap
health
and
queer
works.
D
No
council
had
a
lot
of
questions
and
gave
feedback
before
we
approved
it,
and
the
state
at
the
time
had
given
an
indication
we
were
literally
days
away
from
when
they
were
going
to
be
releasing
the
request
for
proposals,
and
so
there
was
a
timing,
as
often
happens
with
the
state.
They
still
haven't
done
that,
and
I
think
staff
did
a
really
good
job
working
on
the
mou
and
really
flushing
out
the
specifics.
Take
into
account
a
lot
of
the
things
we
said.
D
So
I
wanted
to
have
the
city
manager
share
that
with
the
public,
and
I
also
wanted
to
request
that
the
mou
with
the
city
be
both
with
queer
works,
but
also
with
dap
health,
and
I
spoke
to
david
brinkman,
the
ceo
of
dap
health,
who
is
very
said,
he's
totally
fine
with
them
also
being
on
it
since
they're.
Both
equal
partners
in
this
project.
M
I
think
they
understand
that,
depending
on
that
guidance
that
the
program
may
change
so,
for
instance,
we
discussed
the
potential
to
increase
the
size
of
the
population
that
might
participate
in
the
pilot.
They
also
discussed
that
there
may
be
an
opportunity
or
need
to
move
beyond
some
of
the
eligibility
criteria
that
they
had
discussed
when
presenting
to
council.
M
They
talked
generally
about
the
flow
of
due
diligence
and
how
to
structure
the
mou
we
built
in
a
couple
of
provisions
based
on
the
conversations
that
we
were
having
two,
I
would
point
out
specifically
one
is
that
any
other
substantive
changes
to
the
program
that
could
be
in
approach
in
partnership
or
things
that
they
may
learn
about
the
grant
program
that
cause
them
to
consider,
shifting
or
pivoting
that
we
would
be
kept
apprised
of
those
changes
and
the
other.
M
In
addition
to
information
that
would
be
needed
to
substantiate
reimbursements,
we
also
asked
for
monthly
reports
so
that
other
progress
that's
made
whether
it's
engaging
during
the
due
diligence
contacting
possible
donors,
success
in
philanthropy,
etc.
That
we'd
also
get
that
kind
of
information.
So
that's
where
the
mou
stands
now
and
jeff.
Ballinger
can
probably
address
this
more
specifically,
but
I
don't
see
any
reason
why
we
couldn't
add
dap
health
to
the
mou.
D
Then
the
only
thing
I
would
add,
although
I
can
do
it
in
requests
later-
is
that
we
discuss
what
if
any
budget
allocation
would
make
to
this
project
beyond
this
during
the
budget.
Timing,
as
I
think,
would
be
good
to
let
them
know
if
there
is
going
to
be
funding
if
they
do
get
the
state
funding
and
what
that
amount
might
be.
D
But
for
the
motion,
I
would
just
ask
that
we
move.
I
would
move
this,
but
include
dap
health
as
a
party
to
the
mou,
all
right.
A
All
right,
I
would
like
to
to
make
a
short
comment,
and
first
I
want
to
congratulate
and
thank
councilmember
holstich
for
her
passion
on
this
issue
and
for
her
advocacy
on
this
issue.
A
I've
come
to
a
different
conclusion
regarding
how
we
should
proceed,
and
I
do
so
very
reluctantly
and
with
great
respect
for
those
who
see
it
differently,
but
I
cannot
support
a
basic
income
program.
I
don't
believe
it's
a
municipal
responsibility
to
act
in
this
area
and
I
don't
believe
the
outlines
of
the
programs
are
such
that
they
will
win
broad
public
approval
and
adoption,
and
for
those
reasons
I
will
be
voting
now.
A
A
If
there
are
any
other
comments,
please
let's
have
the
vote.
C
G
G
A
social
service
program
that
is
missing
from
our
suite
of
programs
an
opportunity
to
start.
I
have
a
little
concern
about
the
the
viability
of
the
new
startup,
but
I
do
appreciate
council
member
coors
adding
in
dap,
so
I
will
vote
yes
for
it.
A
A
The
next
portion
of
our
agenda
are
public
hearings.
Item
2a
is
consideration
of
an
appeal
by
pspc
enterprises
concerning
the
planning
commission's
decision
to
deny
a
conditional
use
permit
for
the
fuego
nightclub
located
at
383,
south
palm
canyon
drive.
This
item
was
brought
before
city
council
on
april
21st.
A
L
I
have
to
recuse
for
potential
business
conflict.
Thank
you.
K
So
good
evening,
mayor
and
count
members
of
council,
as
you
noted,
this
item
was
reviewed
at
your
last
meeting
on
april
21st,
where
you
held
the
public
hearing
for
the
appeal
for
the
nightclub
use.
It
is
a
9504
square
foot
facility
proposed
at
383,
south
palm
canyon
drive.
K
The
matter
was
reviewed
by
the
planning
commission
on
march
9th
and
they
did
vote
to
deny
the
conditional
use
permit
the
applicant
for
the
application
appealed.
This
decision,
which
was,
as
I
mentioned,
heard
at
the
last
meeting-
and
you
continued
it
to
tonight
to
allow
additional
evaluation
by
our
police
department.
K
We
also
asked
for
additional
comments,
just
so
that
we
had
it
for
our
records,
and
that
was
forwarded
to
the
council
today
and
so
they've
identified
several
issues
related
to
the
potential
concerns
with
the
operation,
one
being
parking
concerned
with
the
adequacy
of
parking
based
on
site
and
potential
for
jaywalking
across
the
street.
K
If,
if
the
adjacent
parking
lot
at
rite
aid
is
utilized,
the
afghan
has
noted
that
they
would
provide
a
shuttle
service
or
install
a
mid-block
crossing
along
palm
canyon.
To
address
this
issue,
and
the
police
department
said
that
that
may
be
helpful
for
the
operation
in
terms
of
noise.
There
have
been
noise
complaints
from
the
the
business
district
in
the
past
from
other
businesses
that
are
in
the
area,
and
so
the
police
department
has
identified
that
the
sound
mitigation
that
is
proposed
would
be
necessary
and
should
be
completed
in
order
to
address
those
concerns.
K
O
Mayor
and
council
members,
we
did
have
a
very
productive
meeting
with
the
people
who
are
putting
the
nightclub
or
hoping
to
put
the
nightclub
in
and
have
received
many
comments
from
the
community
as
well.
We
still
have
concerns
over
the
noise
potential
uptick
in
crime,
as
well
as
parking,
which
is
not
necessarily
a
police
responsibility.
However,
in
the
area,
when
you
look
at
the
size
of
the
parking
lot
compared
to
the
amount
of
patrons
that
are
proposed,
it
certainly
causes
a
concern.
O
So
I'm
available
for
any
questions
that
you
might
have
of
us
and
and
submit
the
report
as
it
stands.
A
All
right
there,
thank
you
chief,
thank
you
dave.
Are
there
any
questions
from
council
force
staff,
council
member,
of
course,.
D
I'm
just
muted
myself.
Okay,
thank
you
mayor,
maybe
follow
up
with
the
chief
a
little
because
I
read,
you
know
the
security
plan
that
was
approved,
and
then
we
we
saw
an
email
that
I
assume
was
sent
to
one
of
the
someone
involved
with
the
applicant.
We
got
after
noon
today
from
I
think
sergeant
coroner
raising
some
additional
concerns
about
crime,
and
some
of
these
issues
is
that
the
first
time
that
the
applicant
got
that
received
that.
D
So
I
do
have
a
little
concern
that
they
haven't
had
time
to
really
respond
right.
The
last
they
spoke
to
the
police
department.
They
signed
off
on
their
security
plan,
and
I
know
we
asked
these
questions
and
I
I
understand
how
busy
everyone
is.
I
just
wondered
it's
really
right
to
bring
this
back
with
them,
not
having
any
time
to
look
into
solutions
and
to
be
able
to
respond
to
this.
D
I
don't
know
if
the
city
manager
has
any
thoughts
on
that
city
attorney,
but
it
really
doesn't
seem
fair
that
we
want
everyone
to
have
a
fair
hearing,
and
that
was
new
information
to
me
and
really
impacted
my
thinking
on
this,
and
I
would
like
to
have
the
applicant
have
some
time
to
think
about
it
and
come
up
with
some
responses
as
they
did
on
parking
since
our
last
meeting
when
we
raised
those
concerns.
K
Certainly
so
I
would
say
that
the
parking
and
noise
were
kind
of
restatements
of
issues
that
we
already
knew
were
concerns,
and
so
I
think,
with
the
conditions
that
we
have
currently
relative
to
the
noise
that
could
be
addressed
in
terms
of
the
parking.
However,
there
there
hasn't
been
any
additional
conditions
imposed
relative
to
either
a
mid-block
crossing
or
some
sort
of
parking
management
plan
that
could
allow
the
applicant
to
find
off-site
parking,
such
as
they've
suggested
across
the
street.
D
D
And
that
seems
significant,
like
a
really
significant
issue,
if
we
have
to
make
a
finding,
this
won't
have
negative
impacts
to
get
that,
and
it
just
seems
the
applicants
have
a
chance
to
respond
to
that.
I
know
they
have
come
up
with
proposals
on
parking
and
some
of
the
noise
issues
and
obviously
we
could
add
those
as
conditions.
D
I
don't
know
if
there
are
options
on
the
other
ones,
and
I
so
that
was
my
concern
on
timing.
It
just
doesn't
seem
sort
of
fair
in
the
circumstances
and
if
we
do
continue
it
and
that
we
have
to
cancel,
I
two
other
things
really
came
to
my
mind
on
this.
One
is:
was
a
nightclub.
D
An
allowed
use
20
30
years
ago,
like
when
did
it
become
an
allowed
use,
would
be
helpful
for
me
to
know,
and
also
because
I
think
it
was
2015
when
the
bank
was
approved,
and
I
was
at
fair
many
events
there
and
they
were
allowed
to
have
music
and
outdoor
and
indoor
events
it'd
be
helpful
to
know
what
the
conversation
conditions
were
there,
and
if
there
were
what
the
complaint
levels
were
from
that
to
see
the
impact
that
had
as
well.
D
We
give
the
applicant
time
to
speak
to
the
police
on
the
email
they
got
at
afternoon
today
and
discuss
those
as
well,
and
I
guess
my
only
other
thing
for
you,
mr
newell,
is
if
they
opened
as
a
restaurant,
like
some
of
the
other
ones,
that
some
of
the
neighbors
and
hotels
were
understandably
complaining
about,
that,
don't
have
to
have
cups,
could
they
just
open
and
then
become
a
nightclub
and
have
all
the
music
in
cocktails
till
two
in
the
morning,
like
some
of
the
other
ones?
K
Certainly
yeah
so
to
address
the
first
question
relative
to
how
long
nightclubs
have
been
permitted.
The
the
central
business
district,
the
permitted
uses
relative
to
nightclubs,
hasn't
changed
in
several
decades.
So
I
would
imagine
it's
been
that
way,
probably
for
40
or
50
years,
and
then
so.
Yes
to
answer
that
it
does
still.
K
You
know,
it's
always
required
a
conditional
use
permit,
of
course,
but
that
I
think,
addresses
the
first
question
the
second
question
about
if
it
were
to
open
up
or
excuse
me,
the
prior
operation,
the
the
meeting
venue
was
approved
under
a
conditional
use
permit,
and
that
is
a
requirement
of
the
central
business
district
and
that
venue
did
have
similar
conditions
relative
to
complying
with
the
noise
ordinance.
K
I
looked
at
the
occupancy.
It
was
smaller
they
weren't
using
all
of
the
floor
space
that
the
proposed
operation
is
using,
but
they
nonetheless
were
an
event
operation
that
did
have
events
with
noise
or
or,
I
should
say,
amplified
sound,
potentially
inside
and
sometimes
outside,
with
a
special
permit
and
then.
Thirdly,
your
question
about,
if
it
were
to
open
as
a
restaurant,
that
would
be
a
different
liquor
license
and
would
be
processed
as
a
land
use
permit.
K
So
it's
an
administrative
use
permit
that
is
issued
by
staff
and
if
they
were
applying
for
a
nightclub
operation
as
well,
for
instance
like
where
reforma
will
be
located,
they
did
go
through
a
conditional
use.
Permit
process.
B
A
D
A
Thank
you,
council
member
holstich,.
N
Thank
you,
council
member
course.
Thank
you
mayor.
I
just
have
a
follow-up
question.
So
can
you
explain
more
about
the
approvals
for
the
bank
when
it
was
a
event
space,
so
I
spoke
to
the
applicant.
I
also
toured
around
with
people
who
are
in
opposition,
and
so
the
applicant
shared
that
you
know
they
bought
the
building.
N
Thinking
that
you
know
it
was
used
as
an
event
space
with
same
and
similar
noise
and
parking
impacts,
and
they
thought
this
would
be
sort
of
a
reduced
use,
because
this
would
be
only
a
few
days
a
week
on
the
weekends
instead
of
every
night
as
it
was
permitted.
So
can
you
just
explain
the
difference
between
what
it
was,
what
the
use
was
before
for
the
bank
when
it
was
an
event
space
and
what
permitting
was
required
and
then
what's
changed.
K
They
are
identified
differently
in
the
in
the
central
business
district
zoning,
so
they
are
categorized
actually
different,
but
the
operation
was
approved
for
seven
days
a
week.
Operation
six
am
to
2
a.m,
whether
they
operated
during
all
those
times
or
not.
I
don't,
I
don't
believe
they
were,
but
they
did
have
that
option
available
to
them
under
their
their
conditions.
K
In
terms
of
the
the
use
differences,
I
would
say
that,
obviously,
the
the
primary
difference
being
that
a
nightclub
typically
is
going
to
have
music
on
at
most
times
versus
where
you
in
the
case
where
you
might
have
an
event
venue.
They
may
have
meetings
that
happen.
They
might
have
banquets,
they
might
have
operations
that
aren't
typically
involving
sound,
amplified
sound
at
all
times.
So
that's
kind
of
primarily
the
the
main
difference
I
would
say
and
why
we
categorize
them
differently.
N
So
in
2015
the
city
council
at
that
time
made
the
same
findings
that
we're
being
recommended
to
make
or
not
right
finding
that
the
use
was
appropriate
and
all
those
other
findings
for
the
neighborhood
right.
K
N
K
G
G
K
Yeah,
I'd
have
to
go
back
to
the
code
as
well
to
see
if
there's
a
actual
definition,
but
I
think
in
general
what
I
would
say.
K
Yes,
someone
could
come
back
today
and
open
up
a
a
meeting
venue,
an
event
venue
at
that
location
without
amending
their
conditional
use,
permit
that
conditional
use
permit
was
issued
if
they
were
to
comply
with
the
floor
plan.
The
conditions
that
conditional
use
permit
can
continue
and
they
would
be
able
to
operate
under
that
permit.
K
But
generally,
I
think,
the
difference
being
that
an
event
location
you
know
might
have
as
I
you
might
have
an
event
where
you
have
a
wedding.
You
might
have
you
know
modernism
week,
educational
symposiums
things
like
that.
That
might
involve
someone
with
a
speaker.
You
know
talking
on
a
microphone
and
not
necessarily
the
continual
amplified
sound
that
you
typically
see
with
a
nightclub.
G
So
I
think,
as
you
come
back
to
us,
for
both
the
benefit
of
the
neighbors,
the
benefit
of
the
applicant
and
the
benefit
of
us
is
to
know
that
distinction,
because
you
know,
could
they
just
amend
the
existing
cup,
and
I'm
just
really
a
little
bit
unclear
about
that.
I
think
probably
a
lot
of
people
are
on
what
that
actually
means
and
if
this
new
applicant
decided
to
run
it
as
an
event
space.
Oh,
let
me
back
up
a
wedding,
has
dancing
and
music
and-
and
I
and
I
think,
they've
even
held
dances
there.
G
So
I
just
want
clarification
as
we
come
back
on
that.
For
for
me,
you
know,
a
conditional
use
permit
is
when
a
use
is
next
to
another
use
that
are
not
necessarily
compatible,
and
you
have
to
put
conditions
in
to
make
sure
that
they
operate
well
together.
G
It's
a
little
frustrating
that
the
conditions
that
we
have
here
one
have
not
been
upgraded
after
we
gave
some
suggestions
at
the
last
meeting
we
gave
suggestions.
I
personally
gave
suggestions
about
people
crossing
the
street.
I
personally
gave
suggestions
about
the
parking.
I
personally
gave
suggestions
about
a
24-hour
telephone
number
signs
on
the
outside
and
I
was
kind
of
surprised.
I
thought
that
would
be
the
negotiation
that
would
happen
between
staff,
the
neighbors
and
the
applicant
to
get
somewhere
and
we
just
got
the
same
conditions
back
and
for
me.
G
If
we're
going
to
do
a
project
of
this
controversial
or
this,
where
there's
a
bene,
there's
I
say
controversial
because
there's
people
on
each
side.
We
need
to
have
really
good
solid
conditions
in
there
that
are
enforceable
and
are
very,
very
specific,
not
generalized,
as
some
of
them
are
now,
because
I
think
some
of
the
complaints
that
I've
heard
is
that
it's
hard
for
our
police
department
or
co-enforcement
officers
when
it's
not
distinct,
succinct
to
actually
enforce
those,
and
we
want
those
to
be
enforced
in
that.
G
So
my
thing
would
be
to
go
back
and
work
on
those
conditions.
I
don't
know
if
the
applicant
knows
how
much
a
mid-cross
crossing
cost
one
or
if
our
engineering
department
would
even
allow
it.
So
it
really
is
a
cross-departmental
coordination
that
needs
to
occur
to
see
if
this
is
realistic
or
not
on
that,
we,
I
think
at
the
last
minute.
We
also
talked
about
like
the
number
of
security
guards
and
everything,
but
there's
no
conditions
on
any
of
that.
G
So
if
this
particular
person,
this
particular
operator
left,
the
new
operator
could
have
none
and
I
don't
think
that's
what
the
neighbors
are
asking
for.
I
think
they
want
surety
and
what's
going
to
go
in
and
surety
about
noise
in
particular
and
some
other
stuff
that's
going
on,
so
I
would
second
if
it
was
a
motion
council
member
course
to
go
back
and
work
with
the
applicant
and
the
neighborhood
the
neighbors
much
more
closely
and
bring
us
back
something
that's
solid,
that
we
can
sink
our
teeth
into.
Thank
you.
D
D
You
know
the
applicant
has
actually
taken
a
lot
of
the
suggestions
and
had
found
out
the
cost
from
staff
the
range
for
the
lit
up,
crosswalk
and
there's
agreeable
to
that
and
a
number
of
the
other
suggestions,
and
I
agree
and
if
we
need
to
date
certain,
which
is
my
understanding,
I
want
to
make
sure
we
give
sufficient
time
to
do
all
the
things
you
just
went
through,
so
that
when
this
comes
back
and
we
may
not
get
everyone
in
agreement,
we
know
that,
but
we
have
the
conditions
after
staff
has
met.
D
You
know,
ideally
jointly
with
those
supporters
and
the
applicant
and
those
who
are
concerned
about
the
impacts
with
what
those
conditions
would
be.
So
we
really
have
something
to
evaluate,
and
I
would
definitely
like
to
see
what
the
conditions
were
and
what
was
allowed
when
it
was
the
bank
as
well,
because
your
question
is
one
that
I've
been
thinking
about,
and
I
think
you
articulated
that
exactly
how
I
would
have
liked
to
so.
I
appreciate
that.
A
A
I
cannot
recall
a
single
complaint
that
has
come
to
me
during
the
five
years
that
I've
been
on
city
council
regarding
the
bank
and
its
operation
as
an
event
space,
because
there
were
very
few
events,
and
this
is
proposed
to
be
a
nightly
nightclub,
one
that
will
be
very
active
on
the
weekends
in
particular.
A
The
events
that
were
held
at
the
bank
were
frequently
held
in
late
afternoon
when
they
would
have
had
significantly
less
impact
on
the
neighbors
and
on
the
community,
and
I
will
I
will
not
oppose
another
extension
of
time
to
debate
this
issue
and
give
the
applicant
full
opportunity.
I
want
everyone
to
be
treated
fairly,
but
we
are
facing
what
is
a
impossible.
A
So
if
it
is
the
sentiment
of
council
to
extend
and
give
the
applicant
an
opportunity
to
continue
again,
I
won't
oppose
that,
but
I
do
not
believe
we
can
change
the
facts
on
the
ground.
You
cannot
move
that
apartment
building
that
adjoins
right.
Alongside
this
nightclub,
you
can't
move
the
senior
seniors
and
others
out
of
there.
Thank
you.
G
Thank
you.
Can
I
ask
staff
if
you
come
up
one
more
time?
You
know
this
is
a
very
difficult
issue.
Obviously,
on
many
levels
and
the
I
think
reference
from
letters
we
received
testimony
we
received
is
particularly
about
village,
the
village.
I
think
it's
called
no
longer
the
pub
and
moxie-
and
I
think
you
said
just
earlier.
G
Moxie
is
a
restaurant,
not
a
nightclub,
but
it
appears
that
it
might
be
functioning
as
a
nightclub,
and
I
actually
have
personally
been
at
a
restaurant
next
door
and
the
doors
were
wide
open.
The
speakers
were
blaring
are
we
they
have
no
cup.
I
assume
if
it's
operating
as
a
restaurant,.
G
What's
our
in
the
city's
not
enforcing
it?
You
know,
that's
not
good
on
the
city,
and
I
can
see
where
the
residents
would
have
no
confidence
in
something
like
that.
So
I
bring
that
up
as
something
to
investigate
and
I
can
just
tell
you-
I
personally
witnessed
it
if
it's
not
operating
as
if
it's
a
restaurant,
I
mean
you
could
not
literally
talk
across
a
table
in
the
restaurant
next
to
moxie
on
a
friday
night,
yeah
so
or
across
the
street.
G
I
think,
as
I
heard
from
the
neighbors
and
I
and
and
so
I
totally
understand
their
lack
of
confidence,
and
we
really
need
to
understand
how
they
were
approved
and
enforce
whatever
regulations
we
have
so
that
it's
not
operating
as
a
nightclub
and
setting
a
bad
precedence
for
other
businesses
wanting
to
come
in.
Thank
you.
A
It
is
a
difficult
issue
and
we
we
may
need
to
go
back
and
revisit
some
of
our
permitting
process
when
it
comes
to
restaurants
and
that
also
operate
as
semi
nightclubs.
But
I
don't
believe
adding
one
more
problematic
property
is
the
answer.
D
D
I
think
it
probably
needs
more
than
two
weeks
given
three
weeks
didn't
really
get
us
as
far
as
we
need-
and
I
know
we
have
the
budget
and
the
two
meetings
in
june,
so
I
don't
know
if
there's
time
in
june,
or
we
should
give
enough
time
to
july
to
really
flush
this
out.
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
questions
we've
asked
here
and.
D
The
only
thing
I'll-
and
you
know
my
district
is
across
the
street,
so
I
hear
from
those
businesses
and
people
who
live
on
the
other
side
of
palm
canyon
right
across
from
this
property
as
well-
and
you
know
I
don't
want
to
go
in
assuming
it's
going
to
be
problematic,
because
other
people
may
not
be
following
the
law,
but
I
also
want
to
know
that
the
police
feel
they
can
address.
If
we
can't
address
people
who
aren't
following
the
rules,
are
we
going
to
be
able
to
address
this
one,
even
if
they
do
so?
D
I
think
there's
really
a
lot
more
to
delve
into
here,
and
I
have
no
idea.
You
know.
I
see
both
sides
here
clearly,
and
you
know
the
downtown
corridor
is
our
entertainment
district.
It
has
been
for
decades
before
the
apartment
building
was
there,
but
I
also
really
appreciate
you
know
two
in
the
morning
is
not
an
okay
time
to
be
waking.
Anyone
up
by
people
hanging
out,
regardless
of
where
it's
from,
and
that's
why
I
have
a
challenge
trying
to
make
a
finding
that
this
won't
have
a
negative
impact.
D
So
I
think
giving
enough
time
if
the
applicant
is
open
to
that,
to
really
trying
to
figure
this
out
what
the
conditions
would
be.
So
then
we
have
we
and
the
neighbors
and
the
applicant
all
have
what
this
would
be
right
now,
we're
all
making
assumptions,
because
that's
all
we
can
do-
and
I
think,
given
the
questions,
is
that
sufficient
for
staff
to
sort
of
move
forward,
mr
newell
and
the
chief
is
that
have
we
given
enough
more
appropriate
feedback
for
you?
Do
you
need
anything
else
from
us.
D
M
D
D
A
I
believe
you're
correct.
Is
there
a
second
for
the
motion?
B
A
D
A
All
right,
we
we
are
going
to
move
on
I'll,
ask
folks
to
take
the
conversation
outside.
Thank
you.
A
K
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
and
council
members.
I
think
I
need
to
speak
up.
I
can't
be,
I
guess
I'm
not
being
heard
so
the
matter
before
you
is
a
nomination
for
a
the
residents,
the
gilman
residents.
It
was
not
designed
by
herbert
burns
in
1948
and
additions
occurred
in
the
mid
50s.
K
K
The
blue
and
green
and
orange
are
the
portions
of
the
home
that
were
built
in
the
50s
and
actually
the
main
portion
was
48,
so
the
blue
portion
is
the
four
built
in
48
and
then
52
and
55
are
shown
in
green
and
orange.
There
was
an
addition
in
the
80s.
That's
shown
in
yellow.
K
They
found
that
the
criteria
in
the
historic
preservation
ordinance
have
been
met
to
designate
the
property
specifically
criterion,
number
three,
that
it
exemplifies
a
particular
period
in
history,
this
being
the
post-world
war
ii
era
and
then
criteria
on
number
five.
It
does
have
a
high
artistic
value,
this
being
the
late
modern
style
and,
finally,
that
the
structure
does
retain
a
sufficient
degree
of
integrity
for
the
class
one
nomination.
K
G
Just
a
curiosity,
I'm
not-
and
I
totally
trust
our
hspb,
but
when
a
building
a
residence
like
this
has
gone
through
this
much
remodeling
right.
How
do
we
still
make
the
finding
it's
class
one
versus
another
class,
because
it's
pretty
extensive,
what's
been
done
to
the
house
from
its
original
configuration.
K
Obviously,
there's
been
components
that
have
been
replaced
and
re
reconstructed
in
this
case
they're.
Looking
at
the
they
looked
at
the
limestone
arizona,
limestone
tile
or
stone.
That's
on
the
exterior.
So
all
those
factors
are
really
kind
of
how
we
evaluate
it,
but
you're
right.
It
has
had
some
restoration,
a
lot
of
restoration.
G
And
that
included
restoration
to
the
pool
as
well
right,
correct
so
is,
is
the
pool
considered
part
of
the
historic
criteria
when
you
look
at
historic
home.
K
You
can
you
can
look
at
that
as
one
of
the
contributing
features
and
when
you're
looking
at
the
nomination.
So
if
you
go
to.
K
G
I
think
it's
fantastic
that
we
have
so
many
people
in
the
city
of
palm
springs
that
take
incredible
pride
in
their
home.
They
want
to
recreate
their
home
in
a
historic
heritage.
I
think
it
lends
itself
to
the
city
of
palm
springs,
especially
since
we
have
become
kind
of
a
I'll
call.
It
a
modernism
capital,
and
it's
great
that
people
are
on
that
bandwagon
to
do
it.
I
will
make
a
motion
to
support
it.
If
there's
no
more
discussion
I
just
had
concerns
about.
I
just
had
concerns
about
the
amount
of
reconstruction.
G
L
Do
council,
member
of
course,
or
hostage,
do
you
have
any
questions?
L
B
O
M
To
be
torn
down,
it
was
so
close
to
demolition,
but
really,
I
think
it's
such
a
great
project
and.
L
L
D
I
just
want
to,
in
addition
to
the
really
great
staff
report,
so
thank
you
staff.
I
thought
the
the
nomination
was
really
worth
reading
and
I
always
want
to
encourage
the
public.
It's
such
a
wealth
of
information
about
architecture
and
history.
D
The
reports
that
stephen
and
that
group
do
and
really
worth
reading,
I
really
enjoyed
reading
this
one
and
when
our
agendas
aren't
packed,
I
actually
have
time
to
read
these
fully
and
look
at
the
pictures,
and
this
was
a
really
really
really
good
one.
So
thank
you.
L
G
L
Yes-
and
I,
the
mayor
has
stepped
out
briefly-
and
I
don't
know
she
is
city
attorney-
is
she
allowed
to
record
her
vote
when
she
returns.
L
Okay,
great
so
then,
motion
passes
for
to
well
four
with
one
abstention.
L
C
Certainly
mayor
pro
tem
and
members
of
council,
the
item
that
you
have
before
you
item
number
2c
is
relative
to
a
12-month
review
of
a
conditional
use
permit
for
an
auto
storage
lot.
Just
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
background
in
terms
of
why
this
item
is
before
you.
The
item
is,
as
I
had
mentioned,
for
an
off-site
storage
lot
that
serves
the
vip
motors
dealerships
which
are
located
on
east
palm
canyon.
C
The
auto
storage
lot
itself
is
located
further
to
the
south
on
matthew
drive.
The
use
requires
a
conditional
use
permit.
The
planning
commission
originally
denied
the
conditional
use
permit.
The
item
was
called
forward
to
city
council
at
that
point.
City
council
approved
it,
but
they
did
add
additional
conditions
of
approval
and
one
of
those
conditions
required
that
the
city
council
review
the
use
after
12
months
of
operation,
the
applicant
obtained
their
building
permit
and
completed
construction
in
april
of
2021,
and
so
that
brings
us
to
the
date
here
in
terms
of
the
lot
itself.
C
We
have
the
map
here
on
the
screen,
the
aerial
showing
the
vip
motor
dealerships
on
east
palm
canyon
and
the
location
of
the
auto
storage
lot
on
matthew
drive.
The
image
to
the
left
is
the
auto
storage
lot
as
improved
you'll
notice.
There
is
fencing
there
is
landscaping
relative
to
the
auto
storage
lot
in
terms
of
the
conditions
that
were
added
by
the
city
council,
in
particular,
engineering
condition.
Number
33
required
a
number
of
safety
improvements
that
were
requested
by
the
neighborhood
and
also
by
city
council
members.
C
C
C
C
If
you've
driven
on
east
palm
canyon,
you've
seen
the
amount
of
dirt
that's
been
moved
that
will
necessitate
certain
changes
to
matthew
drive
in
terms
of
digging
up
some
of
the
asphalt
making,
drainage
improvements
under
matthew,
drive,
lindenway,
cherokee,
etc.
Because
of
those
improvements
we
delayed
the
installation
of
the
crosswalks.
Essentially,
the
city
does
not
want
to
do
that
work
twice.
We
understand
that
there
are
concerns
now
about
pedestrian
safety,
but
again,
looking
at
the
improvements
that
are
going
to
be
made
there
in
the
near
future.
C
In
the
short
term,
we
felt
it
best
to
delay
those
until
after
the
county
finishes.
Its
work
on
line
41.,
we
also
looked
at
any
code
enforcement
complaints.
You'll
see
there
was
one,
but
it
was
not
relative
to
the
off-site
storage
lot.
One
of
the
things
that
we
didn't
note
in
the
staff
report
is,
we
did
get
a
complaint
from
the
neighborhood
organization
about
the
speed
on
matthew
drive.
I
think
this
was
back
in
december
of
2021.
C
What
we
did
to
address
those
concerns
is
we
sent
a
letter
to
the
dealerships
indicating
that
they
needed
to
monitor
the
speed
of
their
vehicles?
Also
sergeant
galvin
from
the
police
department
installed
the
speed
monitoring
signs,
which
indicates
the
drivers,
their
speed,
and
so
those
items
were
put
in
place
to
address
the
concerns
of
the
neighborhood.
C
C
Our
recommendation
to
you
this
evening
is
to
go
ahead
and
approve
this
12-month
review
without
any
further
review
needed,
as
it
is
conformance
to
the
conditions
of
approval.
However,
if
you
do
have
concern
about
the
pedestrian
safety
improvements,
what
I
might
recommend
is
that
we
do
a
receive
and
file
report
to
city
council
once
those
improvements
are
complete.
C
So
that
way,
you
have
a
record
that
we
have
satisfied
the
conditions
of
approval
and
that
the
pedestrian
safety
standards
have
been
implemented,
and
so
again,
if
that's
something
that
you
would
like
to
add
to
this
review,
we
would
be
more
than
happy
to
do
that.
That
concludes
my
report
to
you
this
evening.
We
do
have
the
applicant,
mr
johnson,
who
will
join
us
via
zoom
later
on
and
I'd,
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
L
C
C
Project,
I
was
afraid
you
were
going
to
ask
me
that
I
don't
have
the
exact
date
of
when
we
expect
that
to
be
complete.
I
would
expect
those
improvements
to
be
in
place
within
the
next
12
months
is
my
best
guess:
okay,.
E
E
E
E
E
The
properties
owners
tell
me
they
have
had
a
number
of
people
comment.
Just
on
how
great
it
looks.
The
storage
lot
is
critical
for
us
to
be
able
to
operate
effectively
today
and
we
need
it
for
to
have
room
to
grow
in
the
future.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
allowing
us
to
develop
the
storage
area
and
to
have
this
opportunity
to
review
the
project
and
I'm
available
to
respond
to
any
questions
you
may
have.
I
A
L
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
I
I
just
want
to
state
that
I
would
appreciate
just
the
receive
and
file
and
in
general
on
on
these
types
of
issues,
I
didn't
realize
that
this
was
going
to
come
back
to
council
in
this
way,
and
I
would
just
suggest
to
my
colleagues
that
maybe
we
do
have
it
more
of
a
receive
and
file
basis
in
the
future,
so
it
is
important.
These
issues
are
important,
but
we
don't
necessarily
need
this
level
of
scrutiny.
A
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
those
comments.
I
concur
completely.
Are
there
any
other
comments?
Sir,
do
we
have
a
motion.
P
Protein
and
council
members,
I
would
like
to
know
before,
starting
that
the
amount
the
total
amount
being
requested
for
approval
430
000,
is
only
an
estimate,
as
we
have
not
yet
received
a
formal
approval
or
notification
of
an
award
from
the
department
of
housing
and
urban
development.
However,
they
have
let
us
know
that
they're
running
behind
and
they
have
extended
the
deadline.
First,
the
middle
of
the
annual
action
plan
until
august,
so
they
are
giving
us
some
extra
time
there.
P
That
being
said,
we
do
believe
the
430
000
is
a
conservative
estimate.
P
Last
year's
award
was
four
hundred
thirty
one
thousand
dollars,
and
the
year
prior
to
that
was
four
hundred
forty
nine
thousand
dollars
adopting
the
resolution
to
approve
the
cdbg
annual
action
plan
and
making
adjustments
based
on
the
actual
award
and
authorizing
the
city
manager
to
execute
the
sub-recipient
agreement
is
well
we're
not
prevented
from
doing
that
at
this
time,
as
we
can
make
those
adjustments
at
a
later
point
in
time,
if
necessary,
based
on
the
actual
award
that
we
receive.
P
That
being
said,
the
draft
annual
action
plan
proposes
to
allocate
the
430
000
for
shade
structures
in
the
amount
of
286
000,
and
that
would
be
over
playgrounds
at
du
mouth
park
and
barista
park,
and
it
should
be
noted
that
if
public
facilities
are
not
within
the
boundaries
of
the
low-income
areas,
the
facility
will
have
to
principally
benefit
a
limited
clientele
such
as
seniors,
homeless,
individuals,
severely
disabled
adults
or
abused
children.
That's
to
say,
cdbg
funds
can
be
spent
outside
of
the
low
moderate
income
areas.
P
However,
they
have
to
be
for
targeted
populations,
so
in
the
case
of
sidewalks
roads
and
parks
adjacent
to,
but
not
inside,
of
the
low
mod
areas.
Those
would
not
satisfy
the
requirements,
as
they
do
not
principally
benefit
that
targeted
clientele
and
a
map
showing
the
low
income
areas
were
provided
in
your
staff
report
in
attachment
for.
P
In
fiscal
year,
20
12
households
were
assisted
for
an
expenditure
of
13
000
in
fiscal
year.
21
one
household
was
assisted
for
an
expenditure
of
98
dollars,
and
this
is
largely
due
to
covid,
as
the
clientele
are
seniors,
low-income
seniors
and
I
was
very
likely
they
did
not
want
contractors
doing
work
coming
in
and
out
of
their
house.
During
the
covet
and
for
fiscal
year,
22
year-to-date
seven
households
have
been
assisted
for
a
total
expenditure
of
four
thousand
dollars
at
this
time.
P
However,
I
did
just
today
sign
off
on
another
1200
assistance
that
that
had
been
requested.
So
there's
there
is
good
use
for
that.
P
In
addition,
the
recommended
allocation
includes
48
000,
for
fair
housing
and
to
receive
the
cdbg
funds.
The
city
has
to
agree
to
affirmatively,
further
fair
housing
and,
in
fact,
the
state
of
california.
Recently,
enacted
ab680
requiring
municipal
agencies
to
further
to
affirmatively
further
fair
housing
as
part
of
their
duties
as
a
public
agency.
P
The
contract
with
the
fair
housing
council
of
riverside
county,
is
to
assist
the
city
with
this
responsibility
and
again
that
is,
for
that
was
in
for
forty
eight
thousand
dollars
annually
and
to
give
you
a
sense
of
where
those
dollars
are
going
based
on
their
second
quarter
report
of
fy
22.
P
P
And
as
part
of
the
operations
for
the
cdbg
program,
86
000
of
the
430
is
being
recommended
for
administration
to
operate.
The
program
work
with
the
hud
representatives
and
submit
reports
and
keep
us
in
line
with
all
the
requirements
that
hud
is
providing
us.
P
A
G
Thanks
jay
for
getting
that
information
on
how
we
can
spend
or
not
spend
the
money.
I
know
we've
gone
through
this
enormous
times,
but
just
in
the
future,
when
we
look
at
cdbg,
so
just
my
understanding.
If,
if
the
money
is
to
be
used
out
outside
of
the
actually
defined
areas
from
attachment
4,
it
has
to
be
very
specific
to
seniors.
And
can
you
run
through
that
again.
P
Yes,
it's
not
just
seniors,
it
is
the
groups
that
hud
seeks
to
serve
low-income
individuals,
seniors,
homeless,
individuals,
special
needs,
individuals,
migrant
workers,
abused
children.
I
think
we're
also
on
that
list.
So
there's
there's
a
few
different
types
of
individuals
and
groups
that
the
funds
can't
go
towards.
G
G
P
The
sidewalk
would
be
it's
not
targeted
towards
that
group,
like
a
say,
a
a
facility
for
disabled
individuals,
but
it's
available
to
the
general
public
to
use
that
sidewalk.
A
L
L
P
One-Time
brand,
they
would
also
have
to
qualify
under
the
program-
okay
as
being
low-income,
but
yes,
first-time
code
enforcement
and
different
code
enforcement
issues
can
also
be
applied
for
so
those
that
is
possible.
L
Okay,
thank
you
and
just
to
to
clarify
for
the
the
public
a
little
bit.
If,
if
code
enforcement
were
to
go
to
a
home
where
it
was
a
low
low
income
person
and
say
you
know,
your
yard
needs
to
have
certain
repairs
done,
they
could
go
and
apply
to
get
assistance
to
make
those
repairs
in
their
property.
That.
L
P
A
D
A
The
next
item
is
2e
adoption
of
an
ordinance
authorizing
military
equipment
use
policy
staff
report-
please
I
think
that's
going
to
come
from
chief
mills.
O
The
possession
and
deployment
of
military
type
equipment
is
an
important
matter.
One
we,
as
the
police
agency,
take
very
seriously.
We
believe
the
community
has
the
right
to
know
the
type
of
equipment
the
police
department
possesses
and
should
have
a
voice
in
the
matter.
This
policy,
codified
by
council
ordinance,
brings
the
community
into
knowledge
and
understanding
about
the
number
and
type
of
equipment
we
possess.
O
O
O
Having
said
that
is
also
my
belief
that
the
community
has
the
right
and
responsibility
to
know
our
capabilities
and
govern
those
capabilities
through
you,
ab-481
was
passed
by
the
legislature
on
in
september
of
2021.
governor
newsome
signed
the
bill
into
law,
which
was
effective
january,
one
2022
in
compliance
with
ab41.
O
That
would
be
other
policies
that
we
would
need
to
bring
forward
and
vet
at
the
appropriate
time.
The
application
of
equipment
is
important
to
our
understanding
of
the
expectations
of
our
community,
based
on
the
feedback
of
council
members.
Through
this
process
of
collaborating
and
working
with
you,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
a
couple
things
are
noted.
O
We
will
repost
that
policy
effective
tomorrow
on
our
website
to
make
sure
that
everybody
has
an
opportunity
to
take
a
look
at
the
new
language.
There
was
concern
over
the
language
of
not
limited
to.
In
other
words,
it
would
give
the
police
department
a
little
bit
more
discretion
that
was
removed
from
the
from
the
policy
and
section
709.1.1.
O
Also-
and
we
improve
the
language
under
79.6,
under
coordination
with
other
jurisdictions,
the
goal
of
the
language
change
is
to
make
it
clear.
It
is
more
clear
that
other
agencies
must
adhere
to
our
policies
while
working
in
our
city.
This
creates
some
questions,
however,
that
we
would
need
to
think
through
and
discuss.
O
First
of
all,
how
do
they
know
what
our
policy
is
if
they're
coming
from
a
different
jurisdiction
in
in
exigent
circumstances
such
as
that
took
place
on
october?
O
Eight
is
not
the
time
to
debate
the
types
of
policies
that
we
have
in
place,
and
they
may
come
with
equipment
that
we
have
not
had
in
our
possession,
because,
whether
it's
a
larger
agency
or
an
agency
with
a
different
expectation,
those
are
items
that
we
need
to
work
through
with
you,
get
your
understanding
and
be
prepared
to
write
the
policies
as
as
desired
by
our
city
council.
L
Thank
you
so
much
chief
one
of
the
other
questions
I
had,
and
I
appreciate
you
working
on
that
language
include
including
not
limited
to.
I
think
one
of
the
great
things
about
this
is
that
we
have
are
really
able
to
look
at
it
critically
and-
and
I
think
that's
an
important
part-
I'm
also
curious
what
the
history
of
the
uses
of
these
items.
So
this
is
probably
the
first
time
that
many
of
us
and
the
public
have
seen
this
list
of
items
that
that
our
police
department
has.
L
O
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
to
do
it
in
written
form
to
you
at
a
later
date,
primarily
because
some
of
these
items
we
rarely
use
and
you're
right.
It's
just
in
case
other
items
such
as
the
armored
vehicle
might
get
used
more
often,
including
in
other
cities,
that
borrow
our
vehicle,
and
there
are
different
types
of
use
for
the
vehicle,
for
instance,
training
as
well
as
deployment
for
oxygen
circumstances
such
as
violence
or
a
person
barricaded
with
a
firearm.
O
O
And
so
I
think
that's
important.
Just
one
more
comment,
if
I
can
on
the
use
of
the
armored
vehicles,
there
are
the
categories
of
training.
Information
are
important
to
have
because
we
need
to
a
train
with
those
vehicles
and
then
inform
people
the
use
of
those
vehicles
so
that
they
can
make
up
their
own
minds
of
whether
or
not
this
it's
appropriate
for
a
police
department
to
have
these
vehicles.
O
The
second
piece,
though,
is
we
have
to
anticipate
what
things
could
take
place
like,
for
instance,
at
the
the
movie
awards
thing
that
takes
place
here
in
palm
springs.
O
I
don't
want
to
see
an
armored
vehicle
roll
around
the
city
of
palm
springs
unless
it's
being
used
for
a
specific
purpose,
and
so
those
are
some
of
the
things
that
I
certainly
can
get
to
you,
as
well,
as
if
council
desires
a
complete
list
of
every
weapon
that
we
have.
But
that's
you
know
it's
not
mandated
by
law,
but
it
is.
We
do
track
those
things
pretty
consistently.
L
Thank
you
so
much
chief.
I
appreciate
that
clarification.
The
last
question
I
have
is
just
are
some
of
these
items.
I
was
surprised
that
we
have
and
I'm
wondering
if
any
of
these
items
can
be
phased
out
over
time,
and
if
you
have
a
recommendation
on
that.
O
There
are,
I
do
believe
that
there
are
certain
firearms
that
we
are
able
to
phase
out,
or
at
least
phase
out
some
of
those
firearms.
Like
you
know,
in
the
past
they
had
require,
they
have
had
acquired
weapons
to
the
1033
program,
which
is
the
government
federal
government's
program
to
get
equipment
to
local
police
agencies.
O
I
don't
know
if
that's
the
best
use
of
those
those
weapons,
and
I
think
that
some
of
those
yes
can
be
phased
out
pare
down
the
number
of
firearms
that
we
have
and
have
available,
but
without
reducing
the
readiness
and
the
integrity
of
what
we
need
to
do
as
a
police
agency
to
protect
our
city.
A
A
O
D
Thank
you
and
thank
you
chief
for
taking
some
of
the
suggestions
and
from
other
cities
that
I
think
probably
several
of
us
sent
you
and
obviously
you
know
the
new
state
law.
D
We
think
it's
good
that
cities
will
have
to
adopt
policies,
because
it's
important
that
we
know
the
risk
our
police
officers
are
at
and
that
the
public
knows
what
we
have
and
how
it's
going
to
be
used
and
as
clear
as
we
can,
and
obviously
your
judgment
is
so
important
in
this
one
of
the
things
I
saw
a
question
on
and
in
my
22
years
since
I
first
moved
here,
I've
never
you
know,
seen
tear
gas
used
and
it
was
great
to
hear
that
it
hasn't.
D
But
in
what
situations
in
your
view,
is
it
appropriate
to
use
it?
Is
it
and
is
that
clear
in
your
mind
in
the
policy
you
know
it's
not
just
for
disbursement,
it's
disbursement.
If
there's,
you
know
significant
risk
of
you
know
severe
injury
just
wanted
to
get
your
sense
of
what
what
the
policy
should
be
and
is
that
how
this
is
currently
written.
O
Yeah,
I
think
one
of
the
things
council
member
core
is
that
you'll
find
is
that
our
policy
needs
to
be
extraordinarily
clear.
I
don't
think
that
it
is
clear
enough
at
this
point
on
the
deployment
of
cs
gas
that
when
we
use
it,
is
under
very
strict
circumstances.
O
O
We
have
used
it
for
barricaded
gunman
situations
where
we're
trying
to
move
people
through
a
house
or
to
get
them
out
of
a
house,
so
that
has
been
used
under
those
circumstances
where
we
don't
want
to
see
gas
used
are
in
crowds
where
we
could
potentially
get
stampedes
of
people
or
injured
innocent
people
who
are
there
to
exercise
their
first
amendment
rights.
O
We
need
to
be
very
clear
under
what
circumstances
that
that
that
equipment
can
be
used
in
those
situations.
I
think
that's.
The
goal
of
this
conversation
on
ab-481
is
to
make
sure
that
everybody
understands
the
rules
of
when
we
can
use
equipment
and
under
what
circumstances
and
who
authorizes
that
equipment.
N
Thank
you
so
much
chief
for
this
and
very
much
appreciate
you,
including
some
of
those
comments
and
best
practices
from
other
cities.
So
I
followed
along,
as
you
did
your
opening
statement,
but
I'm
a
very
visual
person,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
get
you
what
you
need.
So
I
know
you
had
flagged
for
us
to
discuss
the
use
with
other
agencies.
So
do
you
have
a
recommendation
there
about
what
we
should
approve,
what
language,
based
on
what
other
cities
have
done.
O
Yeah,
so
for
those
council
members
who
sent
me
language
from
other
cities,
you
know
it
was
kind
of
interesting
because
I
know
of
at
least
one
city
that
they
used
our
policy
as
the
example
of
what
they
wanted
to
see
in
their
city,
and
so
you
know
we
all
share
and
borrow
from
each
other,
and
so
we
were
proud
that
they
were
actually
used.
O
What
we've
written
is
that
whoever
I'm
just
trying
to
skip
through
without
reading
the
whole
thing
military
equipment
used
by
other
jurisdictions
that
are
providing
mutual
aid
to
this
department
or
operating
in
conjunction
in
a
law
enforcement
capacity
with
this
department,
shall
comply
with
the
military
equipment
policy.
The
palm
springs
police
department
period.
O
In
addition
to
that,
there's
another
paragraph
below
that
was
modeled
after
san
diego's.
We
took
it
very
closely
to
that
which
goes
into
great
detail
about
the
use
of
that
equipment,
including
our
officers
using
equipment.
In
other
jurisdictions,
we
still
want
to
hold
them
to
the
standard
of
our
department,
as
well
as,
if
other
departments
come
here,
that
they
would
have
to
adhere
to
our
policies
again.
That
does
open
up
some
other
questions
of
what
do
we
do
in
exigent
circumstances?
O
O
Yes,
I
am
recommending
changes.
I
will
get
you
and
the
rest
of
the
council
members.
Well,
I
will
put
on
our
website
to
allow
everybody
to
have
equal
access
to
it
and
make
sure
that
you
have
a
link
to
get
to
that.
N
Thank
you
and
really
appreciate
your
work
and
your
leadership
and
I
know
sometimes
civil
rights,
and
you
know
some
of
these
issues
are
put
separately
or
at
odds,
but
really
appreciate
our
police
department's
respect
of
civil
rights
and
civil
liberties
and
the
way
that
our
police
departments
worked
in
partnerships
to
ensure
that
palm
springs
is
the
safest
place
to
have
you
know,
freedom
of
speech
and
protest
and
assembly.
N
A
Any
other
comp
questions
from
the
chief
all
right.
Seeing
no
other
questions
do
we
have
any
public
testimony.
A
Okay,
then
public
public
hearing
is
closed.
Is
there
any
discussion
or
additional
questions
mayor
pro
tem.
L
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
I
I
would
actually
like
to
divert
the
city
attorney
on
this,
because,
since
there
are
changes
that
chief
mills
made
I'd
feel
more
comfortable
officially
voting
on
this
once
we've
seen
those
changes
and
I'm
just
curious
what
the
next
steps
would
be.
If,
if
council
also
agrees,
if
we
can
move
forward
after
we've
fully
read
it.
E
I
believe
you
can.
The
the
the
new
state
law
says
that,
as
long
as
we
have
commenced
proceedings
to
adopt
this
policy
by
ordinance
before
may,
then
you
are
in
compliance
and,
as
I
mentioned
at
the
last
council
meeting,
I
believe
that
at
that
time
you
did
commence
those
proceedings.
So
if
the
council
would
be
more
comfortable
waiting
to
see
the
exact
language
and
then
adopting
this
ordinance,
you
can
do
that.
I
believe.
O
L
A
A
B
Today,
for
a
public
hearing
to
implement
a
consumer
price
index
increase
and
adopt
the
comprehensive
fee
schedule
for
fiscal
year
22-23
this
this
fee
schedule
is
a
lot
of
work
and
we
I
want
to
thank
all
the
departments.
This
fee
schedule
goes
out
to
each
department
to
make
any
modifications
or
corrections.
So
it
was
a
group
effort
and
I
just
want
to
give
you
a
little
background.
In
1819
we
had
an
increase,
a
cpi
increase
of
2.5
percent
in
1920
we
had
2.3
percent
and
we
waived
the
due
to
covet
19.
B
This
revised,
comprehensive,
comprehensive
fee
schedule
includes
a
7.5
percent
increase
in
fees.
This
will
bring
approximately
a
total
of
431
000
in
revenues
to
the
general
fund.
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
have
and
we
do
have
some
department
staff
here
that
have
the
fees
in
their
departments.
If
you
have
any
questions,
they
will
be
able
to
answer
those.
A
A
So
what
process
have
you
gone
through
to
try
to
make
sure
we're
hitting
that
very
difficult
mark.
B
We
have
the
city
anticipates
that
we
want
to
have
a
fee,
a
feast
study
done
every
five
years,
so
in
1920
we
did
have
a
fee
study
completed
and
at
that
time
there
was
18
20..
Oh
I'm
sorry
fy1920.
A
J
Good
evening
gosh,
it's
so
nice
to
be
back
in
person
and
see
everybody
live
so
exciting.
Good
evening,
madam
mayor
members
of
the
council
and
city
staff,
my
name
is
gretchen
gutierrez.
I'm
the
ceo
of
the
desert
valley
builders
association.
J
J
I
want
to
note
that
several
of
the
items
in
that
correspondence
have
been
since
resolved
with
the
city
staff
working
with
our
office
and
saying
yes,
we
needed
to
adjust
some
things,
so
some
of
those
things
have
already
been
put
to
rest
and
we've
reached
a
conclusion
of
happiness.
I
should
say
on
on
a
couple
of
those
items,
but
tonight
what
I'm
here
to
actually
talk
about
is
the
cpi
index
that
you
are
using
in
adopting.
J
Excuse
me,
as
was
referenced
several
years
ago,
we
urged
the
city
to
look
at
adopting
an
annual
adjustment
tied
to
a
cpi
indexing,
which
is
very
typical
among
municipalities
and
agencies.
You
all
as
a
city,
did
adopt
it
in
2020,
2021
gosh.
These
years
are
flying
by
to
take
an
annual
cpi
adjustment
on
the
off
years
between
when
you
did
an
annual
feast
or
excuse
me,
the
five
year
fee
study.
J
The
adoption
of
that
resolution
that
you
all
took
was
tied
to
the
cpi
index,
which
was
for
the
la
long
beach
and
anaheim
region
at
one
time.
Riverside,
ontario
and
san
bernardino
were
part
of
that
indexing,
but
that
index
was
split
in
late,
2017
2018
and
we
now
actually
have
our
own
index
strata
here
for
riverside
san
bernardino
and
ontario.
J
So
we'd
like
to
first
of
all,
have
you
go
back
at
some
point
and
take
a
look
at
your
resolution
and
realize
that
we'd
like
to
have
you
look
at
us?
We
are
a
unique
area
out
here
in
the
coachella
valley
and
in
riverside
county
san
bernardino,
and
we
feel
that
that
is
more
applicable
to
measuring
apples
to
apples
and
oranges
to
oranges.
J
That
ties
into
my
comment
tonight
specifically
about
the
report
that
currently,
your
staff
report
is
recommending
using
the
all
items
rate
calculation,
where
most
agencies
typically
use
the
core
rate
calculation,
which
more
closely
pertains
to
the
industries
that
we
represent
as
our
association
and
the
ones
that
are
across
the
board
that
you're
looking
at.
If
you
make
an
adjustment
on
the
numbers
that
you're
seeing
tonight
to
look
at
that
different
methodology,
it
is
going
to
make
a
change
in
the
numbers
overall.
At
the
end
result,
it
will
make
a
net
change.
J
That's
point.
One
point
two
is
you've
heard:
miss
paulie
reference,
the
increases
that
have
gone
on
the
last
couple
years
and
the
holding
of
the
increases
for
the
last
two
years
due
to
covet.
We
appreciate
that.
We
also
understand
that
you
need
to
be
made
whole
and
be
workable
and
functioning
as
a
city
and
then
be
compensated
accordingly,
but
you're
being
asked
to
take
a
seven
and
a
half
percent
increase
as
the
staff
recommendation
tonight,
we
are
getting
hit
by
inflation.
Just
like
everyone
else
is
we're
getting
hit
by
supply
chain
issues.
J
Worker
shortages,
you
name
it.
Our
industry
is
heavily
impacted
by
it,
just
as
every
other
industry
is
not
just
here
in
the
coachella
valley,
not
just
here
in
palm
springs,
but
throughout
the
state
we'd
like
to
have
you
consider-
and
I
know
it's
a
big
ask
but
we'd
like
to
have
you
consider
a
lesser
amount
than
the
seven
and
a
half
percent
interest.
J
I
do
not
have
a
recommendation
for
you
as
to
the
percentage
we'd
like
you
to
ex
to
consider,
but
we
would
like
you
to
consider
it
because
the
industry
is
still,
of
course,
trying
to
recover
we're
trying
to
build
houses
as
fast
as
we
can
we're
trying
to
build
apartments
for
affordable
housing
as
fast
as
we
can
we're
running
into
a
lot
of
issues
at
this
point
in
time.
So
we're
looking
for
a
consideration
on
that
and
with
that.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
know
I
exceeded
my
time,
but
thank
you.
A
E
Yes,
I've
been
asked
to
to
respond.
You
know,
I
believe
that,
from
a
legal
perspective,
the
the
council
is
authorized
to
use
the
the
los
angeles
anaheim
index,
which
is
what
the
seven
and
a
half
percent
represents.
E
With
regard
to
the
categories.
The
the
reasons
the
staff
in
in
cooperation
with
the
city
attorney's
office
chose
the
all
items
was
because,
quite
frankly,
the
the
services
that
the
city
will
be
providing
with
these
fees,
whether
it's
construction,
services
or
personnel
services,
are
represented
by
all
items.
They
don't
take
out
housing
and
food,
which
is
what
the
dvba
their
category
would
would
exclude
from
the
percentage.
So
that
was
the
justification
for
using
the
all
items,
as
well
as
the
la
anaheim
area.
E
A
I'm
not
sure
I
follow
if
we
now
have
a
index
that
is
targeted
much
more
to
our
region
than
la
long
beach
and
in
riverside
where
we
would
continue
to
use
the
metropolitan
la
index.
I
do
appreciate
pointing
out
that
we
can,
but
a
sense
of
fairness
would
seem
that
we
would
want
to
use
the
index
closer
to
home.
A
Any
other
questions
or
comments
from
council
member
course
thank
you.
D
G
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
working
on
the
letter
from
the
dvba
that
does
the
valley
builders
association.
Can
you
just
briefly
go
through
kind
of
how
we
resolve
some
of
their
issues
because
they
had
two
pages
of
issues?
I
believe
it
was
it
was
it
was
it
just
oversight
on
our
part
or.
G
B
L
E
I
believe,
if
that's
the
direction
council
wishes
to
provide,
we,
you
can
give
us
that
direction
and
still
adopt
it
tonight.
A
A
So
I
will
make
a
motion
that
we
adopt
the
staff
report
with
the
change
to
use
the
cpi
index,
that's
appropriate
to
the
inland
empire,
and
that
therefore
the
increase
would
be
6.9
as
opposed
to
the
7.5.
N
If
I
can
mayor
no
thank
you
mayor,
I
just
wanted
to
raise.
You
know.
I
was
on
city
council
when
we
first
did
the
feast
study,
and
so
I
remember
that
process,
but
I'm
just
wondering-
and
this
isn't
the
time
now,
but
to
think
through
how
we
do
fees,
especially
for
some
resident
services.
N
For
example,
I've
received
a
number
of
requests
from
non-profits
to
rent
out
meeting
space
with
city
facilities
that
we
already
staff
and
the
costs
are
prohibitively
high
for
non-profits,
and
we
have
no
policy
to
waive
fees
for
non-profits,
like
other
cities.
Do
and
there's
such
a
need
for
meeting
space
for
organizations.
I've
even
actually
paid
for
the
rental
fee
for
a
number
of
organizations
just
so
that
they
can
operate
like,
for
example,
a
new
moms
group
in
the
city
of
palm
springs,
and
then
you
know
so.
N
I've
heard
that
a
lot
throughout
my
years
on
city,
council
and
then
also
just
fees
for
residents.
I
think
we've
talked
a
lot
about
how
to
subsidize
services
for
residents
and
not
charge
them
fees
for
renting
out
space
or
having
small
meetings
or
using
different
services,
and
I
would
just
love
us
to
think
more
liberally
about
which
services
we
maybe
do
not
need
to
charge
a
fee
for
which
ones
some
of
these
fee
revenues.
N
N
For
council
members
who
will
be
here,
maybe
when
we
do
a
fee
study
or
maybe
a
staff
can
bring
this
back
in
the
budget
right
is
thinking
through
just
how
to
subsidize
some
of
these
fees.
For
for
low-income
folks,
you
know
if
you're
going
to
want
to
go
to
the
pool,
but
it
costs
three
or
four
dollars
per
time
or
per
kid
right.
That
could
be
really
limiting.
So
I'd
just
love
for
us
to
think
through.
N
Doing
those
fees
differently,
especially
for
parks
and
rec
programs,
but
gretchen
knows
I
you
know.
I
think
I
opposed
the
fee
increase
last
time
on
housing
and
we
just
really
need
to
work
together
to
get
more
housing
built
in
plum
springs.
So
I
know
that
some
of
these
fees
are
not
really
the
prohibitive
cost
for
that,
but
would
love
to
work
to
reduce
costs
overall,
including
on
fees.
So
I
support
the
motion
on
the
floor
to
change
the
study
that
we
use
the
comparative
market,
but
would
love
to
see
how
else
we
can
reduce
fees.
B
B
B
A
You
know,
I
think
this
is
a
large
discussion
and
one
that's
somewhat
separate
from
the
kinds
of
fees
that
we're
talking
about
for
user
fees
here
and
I'm
really
appreciate
council
member
colstage
raising
the
question.
A
A
So
is
there
any
further
discussion
for
the
item?
That's
on
in
front
of
us.
A
All
right
seeing
none
call
the
vote.
Please.
B
A
All
right,
we
have
one
more
item
left
on
the
agenda
and
that's
going
to
be
a
discussion
of
our
city
boards
and
commissions
we're
a
few
minutes
short
of
eight.
Is
it
the
pleasure
of
the
council
that
we
continue
on
and
move
through
this,
or
would
you
like
to
take
a
short
break
before
we
begin
this
discussion?
A
Frank
we've
got
at
least
one
request
for
a
break,
and
that's
enough,
so
we
will
take
a
10
minute
break
and
start
back
at
a
couple
of
minutes
after
eight.
Thank
you.
A
So,
and
after
that
we
will
go
to
item
3a,
a
discussion
of
city
boards
and
commissions.
Could
we
get
a
staff
report?
Please.
M
Yes,
mayor
and
council
we're
here
this
evening
to
follow
up
on
some
work,
reviewing
boards
and
commissions
so
to
set
the
stage
a
little
bit
if
well
this
all
this
clicker
work
there
we
go.
We
held
a
couple
of
visioning
sessions
back
in
november
of
2021
and
we
wanted
to
do
two
things
at
those
sessions
one.
We
wanted
to
establish
some
strategic
priorities
for
the
following
12
plus
months,
and
the
other
was
to
identify
a
number
of
targeted
process
improvements.
M
So
this
is
one
of
those
process
improvements,
but
there
were
others
that
were
that
resulted
from
that
visioning
session.
So
we
wanted
to
look
at
the
life
cycle
of
decision
making.
If
you
will
recognizing
that
what's
unique
about
local
government
is
that
we
have
a
very
participatory
process,
lots
of
different
role,
players
or
people
help
make
our
decisions.
So
we
have
residents
and
stakeholders.
M
M
We
have
made
a
number
of
changes
already
so,
for
instance,
the
city
council
had
shifted
away
from
some
of
the
liaison
roles.
We
had
a
handful
of
committees
that
were
functioning
in
terms
of
residents.
We
wanted
to
utilize
more
working
groups
and
we've
started
to
do
that,
for
instance
with
the
vacation
rental
policy,
inclusionary
zoning
and
others
where
we
are
assembling
groups
of
people
to
really
get
involved,
roll
up
their
sleeves
and
help
us
directly
make
some
of
the
decisions.
M
One
of
the
other
processes
we
wanted
to
review
was
those
of
our
boards
and
commissions.
I
presented
at
a
previous
meeting
just
from
a
high
level,
some
of
our
challenges
and
opportunities
and
I'll
refer
to
a
couple
of
those
at
a
high
level.
Before
we
dig
in
so
some
of
our
challenges,
commission
structures
and
authority
can
vary
from
commission
to
commission.
In
fact,
I
will
generally
probably
just
start
to
say
commissions,
although
recognizing
that
right
now
we
really
have
boards
and
commissions,
and
at
least
one
entity
a
committee
with
yet
another
name.
M
We
one
of
the
things
we
could
do
is
just
start
to
call
them
all
commissions
to
simplify
things.
Some
lack
strategic
direction
provided
by
council
so
similar
to
what
we
did
with
some
visioning.
I
think
there
may
be
some
opportunities
to
integrate
boards
and
commissions
into
a
similar
process
to
make
sure
we
all
remain
aligned,
sometimes
confusion
about
roles
and
responsibilities,
lack
of
onboarding
and
training
and
lack
of
integration
and
communication,
sometimes
even
with
one
another.
M
So
the
opportunities
that
arise
from
some
of
those
challenges
are
really
to
streamline
our
commission
structures,
review,
amend
and
clarify
roles
and
responsibilities,
integrate
commissions
in
the
priority,
setting
expand
communication
through
scheduled
activities
and
create
a
really
robust,
onboarding
and
training
materials
and
process
that
would
not
just
be
for
commissions,
but
also
staff
that
provide
support
for
commissions,
so
throughout
the
rest
of
the
presentation.
We're
going
to
go
through
some
of
these
in
detail,
of
course,
we're
eager
to
hear
from
council
on
any
of
this.
M
So
the
first
one
I
want
to
zero
in
on
are:
there
are
currently
14
boards
and
commissions,
most
of
which
are
created
to
advise
council
on
policy,
although
sometimes
there's
administrative
work,
so
some
tasks
are
delegated
to
commissions,
so,
for
instance,
with
architectural
review
or
certain
planning
commission
decisions,
there
are
a
number
of
programs
actually
across
the
board,
where
sometimes
those
commissions
are
actually
doing
administrative
work.
But
I
think
we
have
an
opportunity
to
realign
some
of
our
ordinance
and
bylaws,
at
least
as
a
level
set
to
really
focus
on
the
advisory
role.
M
That
would
certainly
also
contemplate
delegating
some
of
that
ongoing
administrative
work
that
I
just
mentioned
for
commissions
that
have
that
responsibility,
but
some
others.
It
might
be
more
appropriate
to
delegate
those
tasks
on
a
case-by-case
basis
that
that
doesn't
have
to
be
individual
initiatives.
Sometimes
that
can
be
for
a
year
or
ongoing
for
a
particular
program.
M
But
again
the
the
recommendation
for
your
consideration
is
to
kind
of
have
a
level
set.
We
do
have
some
enabling
ordinances
that
have
very
active
verbs
to
go
out
and
and
do
things
and
others
that
are
strictly
advisory,
and
it
might
be
helpful
to
kind
of
realign
those
and
add
back
the
delegation
so
that
council
really
understands
what
of
those
items
are
going
to
be
carried
out
on
an
ongoing
basis
and
what
more
on
a
case-by-case
basis.
L
Thank
you
yeah.
I
think
at
least
for
me
it
might
be
nice
to
go
one
by
one.
I
think
this
is
I
really
like
this
recommendation.
I
think
it
would
be
very
helpful
to
to
be
able
to
just
have
a
better
sense
of
what
everyone
does.
I
think
right
now.
It's
it's
really
confusing
and
the
public
is
confused.
The
account
the
commissions
are
confused,
so
to
have
kind
of
one
standard
way
of
doing
things
could
would
be,
would
be
beneficial.
A
I
concur
and
again
to
council
members
coors
and
hostage
while
we're
in
presentation
mode.
I
can't
see
you
so
if
there's
any
time
that
you
want
to
speak
up,
please
do
so.
Oh.
D
Sure,
thank
you.
Thank
you
mayor
for
that
reminder.
Well,
aidan's
also
gone
so
I
can't
make
faces
at
him
anymore.
So
I
I
agree.
I
agree
with
this.
One
thing
is,
you
know,
maybe
calling
them
all
commissions
is
is
probably
a
good
idea,
but
maybe
we
need
to
have
some
distinction
for
the
ones
we
could
say
that
have
it,
you
know
some
administrative
duties
that
have
been
delegated,
but
actually
I'm
thinking,
especially
for
the
ones
where
their
decisions
are
final.
D
Unless
we
call
it
up
that
you
know
there
are
700
filers
right,
there's
a
couple
that
are
which
are
it's
a
state
forum
where
you
have
to
disclose
any
potential
conflicts.
There
are
some
that
actually
have
some
legal
authority
not
just
advisory,
even
though
it
can
be
appealed
to
council
like
we
saw
earlier
with
the
nightclub,
and
maybe
that
title
needs
to
be
different.
D
So
it's
clearer
that
some
are
advisory
commissions
and
some
aren't
necessarily
just
advisory
commissions
and
maybe
advisory
commissions
should
be
used
on
the
ones
that
are
solely
advisory,
but
just
something
I
wanted
to
raise,
because
there
is
a
distinction
with
those
who
actually
do
have
final
decision
making
under
under
the
law.
Unless
we
call
it
up
or
the
applicant
appeals.
M
Great
great
suggestion
we
will
look
at
whether
or
not
there's
a
way
to
distinguish
between
those
that
are
more
strictly
advisory
and
those
that
do
have
some
administrative
delegated
tasks
challenge
two
boards
and
commissions
vary
in
size
currently
from
five
to
19
members.
Some
of
the
larger
commissions,
sometimes
struggle
with
attendance,
continuity
and
efficiency.
So
we've
heard
this
both
I
should
have
mentioned
in
the
beginning.
We
did
solicit
feedback
both
from
boards
and
commissions
during
the
visioning
process.
M
We
also
had
conversations
with
staff
staff
that
support
commissions
and
since
the
visioning
sessions
we've
had
ongoing
conversations
that
all
contribute
to
these
challenges
and
recommendations.
So
we
have
heard
both
from
commissioned
members
and
from
staff
that
support
commissions
that
sometimes
the
large
attendance
makes
orderly
progress
on
certain
items
more
difficult.
M
So
one
thing
you
may
consider
is
to
reduce
commissions
to
five
or
seven
members,
potentially
excluding
the
airport
commission,
noting
that
that
one's
different,
that
one
in
fact
might
be
one
that
you
want
to
leave
alone,
given
it's
representative
of
the
broader
valley,
while
still
preserving
a
majority
of
appointees
from
palm
springs,
but
we
did
indicate
that
one
other
way
to
preserve
some
of
that
ratio
might
be
something
like
a
seven
member
commission
with
four
appointees
from
palm
springs
three
from
mid
valley,
so
we're
looking
for
direction
from
council.
M
We
could
achieve
any
realigned
size
of
commissions
through
attrition,
as
commission
members
terms
expire.
We
wouldn't
recommend
doing
anything
more
dramatic
than
that.
But
our
reasoning
is
you
know.
Five
has
worked
very
well
for,
say
a
city
council,
five
to
seven
seems
to
be
a
sweet
spot,
but
again
we're
looking
for
direction
from
council.
A
I
will
jump
in
on
this
and
say
that
I
think
moving
to
five
to
seven
is
is
a
good
move
in
something
that
we
should
look
at.
I
very
much
appreciate
doing
it
by
attrition,
as
opposed
to
arbitrarily
removing
commissioners
that
are
serving
and
serving
well
as
to
the
airport
commission.
It
is
an
incredibly
unique
commission-
and
I
just
do
not
envision-
that
we
would
be
able
to
achieve
the
kind
of
cooperation
that
we
would
want
to
achieve,
to
try
to
have
three
regional
representatives
from
the
city's
it.
G
I
just
think
when
we
look
at
the
airport
commission,
you
know
we.
What
is
do
we
know
if
you
know
when
you
have
that
many
people
there's
a
quorum
issue
many
times
have
we
had
a
problem
with
that
at
all.
Do
we
know
or.
G
So
the
other
thing
that
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
with
the
airport
commission
is
when
somebody
from
another
jurisdiction
which
we
have
no
control
over,
does
not
reappoint
or
they
can't
reappoint,
because
the
person
has
expired,
they've
kind
of
lived
out
their
terms
per
our
code,
but
yet
they
stay
on
because
the
the
entity,
the
other
jurisdiction,
has
never
appointed
somebody.
I
think
it's
something
we
need
to
fix.
M
Yes,
so
to
clarify
our
rules
do
state.
I
believe,
after
two
terms
that
we
request
those
agencies
appoint
someone
else,
but
you're
right.
The
practice
has
been
at
least
in
some
cases,
those
commissioners,
those
agencies
not
appointing
a
new
individual
and
an
individual
staying
much
longer
than
that,
while
the
others
are
asked
essentially
to
that
they've
told
they've
fulfilled
their
duty
and
are
replaced.
So
that
is
something
we
can
look
at.
M
A
We
have
heard
of
instances
where
the
other
agency
is
just
simply
not
acting,
and
the
rules
should
be
that
once
your
two
terms
are
up,
you
have,
there
should
be
somebody
reappointed,
and
perhaps
if
we
need
to
get
the
attention
of
our
adjoining
communities
by
having
them
lose
a
member,
it
would
be
helpful.
A
Other
comments
or
questions
right
challenge,
number
three.
M
M
We
really
resolve
to
try
to
maintain
hybrid
meetings,
so
one
thing
council
may
consider
is
allowing
the
commissions
to
schedule
meetings
at
other
times
as
long
as
transparency
with
recorded
meetings
and
convenient
options
are
maintained,
so
just
to
make
sure
we
all
understand
that
we
did
get
direction
from
council
when
we
started
to
approach
going
back
to
in
person
that
we
really
wanted
to
retain
the
value
of
people
being
able
to
watch
from
home
to
make
comments
from
home.
That
does
require
an
av
setup
similar
to
what
we
have
in
the
council
chambers.
M
We
don't
have
that
in
many
other
spaces,
although
we
are
designing
a
space
like
that
in
the
city's
large
conference
room
here
at
city
hall,
so
that
we'd
have
at
least
two
rooms.
Even
then
there
is
occasion
where
we
will
have
three
commissions
scheduled
on
the
same
day
and
time,
which
is
a
different
kind
of
issue
when
it
comes
to
ensuring
access
to
residents.
M
I
think
we
could
probably
resolve
that
another
way.
There
are
enough
days
of
the
week
that
we
could
probably
have
only
one
on
at
a
time,
but
it
does
sometimes
cause
some
constraints
both
for
certain
commission
members
and
sometimes
for
other
members
of
residents
that
may
wish
to
participate.
So
for
your
consideration,
allowing
some
additional
flexibility
beyond
the
5
30
start
time.
D
Comment,
or
which
is
also
a
question
you
know,
if
we
do
that,
and
one
of
the
reasons
was
one
to
so
working
people
who
work
a
normal
schedule
day
can
be
on
commissions
and
boards,
and
also
so
the
public
could
participate.
One
area
you
know
where
there
were
complaints
before
we
did
this.
We
tried
this
just
as
coveted.
D
So
it's
hard
to
know
if
it's
been
effective
or
not
was
tied
to
the
planning
commission,
because
people
couldn't
sit
around
all
day
take
a
whole
day
off
from
work
when
there's
something
in
their
neighborhood
that
they
wanted
to
speak
on.
D
So
if
we
do
change
that,
I
really
want
us
to
figure
a
way
at
the
very
least,
to
make
you
know
a
way
for
us
to
be
able
permanently.
If
we
do
that
to
be
able
to
call
people
who
will
then
have
two
to
three
minutes
that,
hopefully
they
can
pick
up
the
phone
during
the
work
day,
because
I
give
in
especially
the
planning
commission,
which
makes
final
decisions
on
things
that
impact
you
know
our
neighborhoods
our
businesses.
D
A
lot
of
business
owners
can't
take
off
four
hours
in
the
middle
of
their
workday,
so
that
so
I'm
not
a
big
fan
of
doing
this.
But
I
also
understand
we
have
limited
staff
and
limited
space
to
do
meetings
every
night
when
city
hall
is
only
open
monday,
tuesday,
wednesday
thursday.
L
I
agree,
I
think
it's
it's
been
helpful,
to
have
some
of
these
meetings
at
a
5
30
time,
I
think,
of
parks
and
recs,
for
instance,
a
lot
of
of
parents
who
use
the
park
with
their
children.
I
think
it's
a
little
bit
easier
for
them
if
they
can
call
in
after
they've,
picked
up
their
their
kids
and
gone
home
for
the
day.
So
I
guess
I
would.
L
I
would
want
to
kind
of
see
which
commissions
do
we
keep
in
the
in
the
evening
and
which
commissions
can
be
at
another
time
and
and
really
pull
them
and
find
out.
You
know
what
is
what's
working
and
what's
not,
because
I
do
know
that
there
have
been
plenty
commission
members
who
have
been
frustrated
with
how
late
the
meeting
goes
too.
A
I
think
all
of
us
are
trying
to
make
sure
that,
when
someone
from
the
public
wants
to
have
an
opportunity
to
to
speak
that
they
get
that
opportunity,
I
I
support
additional
flexibility
for
what
our
start
times
are
going
to
be
and
I've.
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
perfect
time
of
day
that
maximizes
everyone,
but
we've
also
received
a
number
of
complaints
that
having
meetings
start
during
the
dinner
hour
is
not
particularly
appropriate,
particularly
for
families,
because
the
kids
are
not
going
to
wait
around.
G
I
would
agree,
I
think
one
of
the
the
difficulties
that
that
we
have,
in
speaking
to
the
city
manager
is
because
we've
gone
to
hybrid
meetings.
The
technology
that's
required
to
maintain
those
hybrid
meetings
is
very
difficult
and
we
don't
have
the
room
or
the
equipment
to
do
it
for
all
of
our
commissions,
especially
in
one
evening,
when
more
than
one
commission
is
meeting
so
I
would
talk,
I
would
agree
that
an
ability
for
different
times
is
appropriate.
G
I
do
think
some
other
commit
some
commissions.
Maybe
have
less
impact
on
residents.
Are
things
like
village
fest
that
meets
in
person
and
wants
to
sample
things
wants
to
smell
the
candles
you
know.
All
of
that
kind
of
stuff
would
be
a
better
commission
if
they
actually
met
in
person,
and
that
could
be
during
the
day.
So
thank
you.
M
M
So
I
I
don't
think
all
commissions
have
bylaws
some,
I
think
created
their
own
bylaws,
really
out
of
the
fact
that
there
weren't
any
and
we
do
need
to
be
somewhat
organized
in
terms
of
number
of
officers
and
how
officers
are
selected
and
how
long
terms
are,
and
things
like
that
same
thing
with
subcommittees,
it's
often
very
effective
for
commissions
to
break
up
work
and
delegate,
but
in
some
instances
that
might
be
the
responsibility
of
a
chair
in
some
instances
the
whole
committee.
M
Generally
speaking,
if
there's
a
standing
committee,
it's
it's
technically
subject
to
the
brown
act.
If
it's
an
ad
hoc
committee,
I
believe
it's
not,
but
I
think
we
also
want
to
acknowledge
that
in
general.
The
idea
here
is
to
preserve
as
much
public
access
and
transparency
in
proceedings.
So
one
of
the
things
we
can
do
is
create
a
template
set
of
bylaws.
M
That
would
really
emphasize
those
points
that
we
think
are
important
in
terms
of
you
know,
officers
and
terms
and
subcommittees,
and
how
they're
formed
to
try
to
make
sure
we're
not
only
balancing
things
like
transparency,
but
for
the
resident
who
engages
with
one
of
these
commissions.
You
know
it
really
helps
if,
when
they
go
to
the
next
one,
it's
it
functions
similarly
right.
L
Thank
you.
I
think
this
would
be
really
helpful,
even
if
it
does,
even
if
it's
just
something
in
the
future
and
to
have
them
all
in
one
place,
would
also
be
useful.
I
think
right
now
in
our
municipal
code,
they're
all
separated
out
in
different
sections,
so
just
some
some
streamlining
and
clarity
would
be
useful,
and
to
me
most
of
these
should
be
substantially
similar,
like
you
said,
to
allow
for
someone
to
go
from
one
commission
to
the
other.
With
you
know
the
exception
of
those
few
that
serve
them
advisory
roles.
M
This
one
is
also
more
substantive,
so
we
recognize
that
there
we
haven't
always
set
clear
expectations
regarding
conduct,
even
things
like
media
relations,
where
we
provide
very
little
guidance
or
training
stakeholder
engagement,
working
with
external
jurisdictions,
representing
commissions
with
outside
groups.
Some
commissions,
I
think,
are
very
good
at
say
delegating
the
responsibility.
M
Individual
commission
members,
of
course,
are
are
free
to
promote
their
commission,
but
we
could
give
additional
guidance
on
when
they
should
represent
the
commission
in
a
more
formal
capacity
with
outside
groups.
You
know
representing
the
city,
etc.
We've
looked
at
a
number
of
templates
coming
from
other
cities
and
and
to
the
point
of
mayor
pro
tem
garner
a
lot
of
those
really
do
kind
of
there's
one
blanket
approach
that
is
there
to
guide
all
of
them
functioning
a
similar
way.
M
Challenge
six
members
can
sometimes
just
lack
clarity
on
roles
from
responsibilities.
M
M
A
M
Okay,
so
sometimes
boards
and
commissions
lack
strategic
direction
from
council,
leading
to
confusion
and
frustration,
as
some
commissions
struggle
to
meter
the
volume
of
work
and
produce
recommendations.
That
council
is
ready
to
act
on
so
I've
described
it
this
way
to
some
commissions
and
likely
with
council
as
well.
But
what
makes
commissions
so
valuable
and
unique
is
not
just
that
they're
comprised
of
our
residents,
but
they
generally
have
a
passion
or
affinity
for
the
thing
that
they're
working
on.
M
You
could
you're
only
there
to
think
of
all
the
things
you
could
do
in
the
area
of
sustainability
and
if
you're
on
the
parks
and
rec
commission
you're
really
invested
in
all
the
things
we
could
do
with
parks
and
rec
council,
of
course,
sitting
at
the
top
of
the
org
chart
and
representing
the
only
entity
that
represents
our
residents
directly,
has
to
really
see
the
landscape
between
all
of
those
areas
of
specialized
expertise.
And
you
know
that
you
can't
pursue
each
one
with
equal
vigor.
M
But
you
have
to
do
a
little
bit
across
the
board
to
advance
important
agendas
across
the
spectrum.
So
really,
I
think
that
calls
for
us
to
help
boards
and
commissions
understand
council
priorities,
help
of
course
solicit
from
them
perspective
on
what
they
think.
You
need
to
see
that
that
perhaps
you
you
don't
always
because
they
do
have
that
depth
of
insight
and
have
an
exchange
likely
once
a
year
that
helps
everybody
understand
what
the
priorities
are.
M
M
It
could
be
a
proposal
to
counsel
and
that's
not
to
slow
down
the
process
and
make
it
too
too
arduous,
but
it
is
meant
to
just
make
sure
that
the
council
commissions
always
stay
on
the
same
page
in
terms
of
what's
really
important.
It
enables
you
to
establish
conditions,
sometimes
to
make
connections,
so
recall
that
recently,
with
an
arts
commission
that
wanted
to
do
murals
at
a
parking
garage-
and
it
was
a
council
member
who
remembered
that
we
had
some
way
finding
to
do
and
that
we
might
be
able
to
integrate
those
efforts.
M
So
I
think
we
would
propose
an
annual
cycle
of
strategic
planning
that
coincides
with
council
strategic
planning
both
for
them
to
input
to
you
and
for
you
to
input
to
them
and
then
to
in
the
the
handbook
to
indicate
when
you
need
to
pivot.
You
basically
come
back
and
make
a
proposal
to
counsel
as
a
starting
point.
A
Yeah,
I
think
this
is
a
really
important
recommendation,
and
but
I
think
we
need
to
be
very
honest
with
ourselves.
This
is
going
to
require
significantly
more
dialogue
between
council
and
our
various
commissions
so
that
we
are
providing
them
with
the
kind
of
strategic.
A
Direction
that
we
would
like
them
to
to
do-
but
I
think
also
this
includes
us
providing
opportunities
for
us
to
identify
to
commissions,
recommendations
that
we
want
to
hear
from
them
and
I'll
cite
a
very
specific
example.
A
L
Thank
you
mayor
for
that
example.
That's
helpful
yeah.
I
think
I
had
a
challenge
seven
and
to
jump
ahead
with
challenge
eight
with
just
for
the
public
challenge
aid
is
that
commissions
feel
somewhat
disconnected
from
counsel
and
how
we
exchange
information.
I
think
these
two
are
are
really
linked
and
it
would
be
helpful
to
be
able
to
really
work
on
that.
I
think
of
all
of
the
things
that
you
have
listed
here.
L
G
I
couldn't
agree
more
with
what's
been
said,
I
think,
having
good
communication
between
commissions
and
the
council
is
incredibly
important.
You
know
our
commissions
for
the
for
the
vast
majority
of
our
commissions.
They
have
incredibly
talented
people.
We
are
very
fortunate
in
palm
springs.
We
have
an
older
population
that
has
an
enormous
amount
of
experience,
they're
very
engaged,
and
they
want
to
give
back
and
be
civically
minded
I'd
like
to
continue
to
encourage
that.
G
But
I
don't
want
to,
I
think,
when
things
kind
of
don't
align,
that
there
becomes
a
rub
and
people
get
very
frustrated
on
both
ends
of
the
spectrum
and
if
we
can
figure
a
way
to
make
you
know
to-
and
I
don't
know
how
that
communication
is
actually
going
to
happen
between
those
two
challenges,
but
really
figure
out
a
way
that
communication
can
be
good
and
part
of
it
is
we
don't
sit
down
necessarily
one-on-one
with
commissioners
or
when
we
attend
them.
It's
through
zoom.
M
Yeah,
so
challenge
eight
really
is
similar.
I
appreciate
the
connection
there
sometimes
commissions
do
feel
a
little
disconnected,
especially
when
there
have
been
long
periods
of
time
without
communication
and
contact.
That
was
certainly
made
worse.
I
think,
during
the
pandemic,
because
a
lot
of
operations
were
scaled
back
to
more
essential
functions,
but
as
we
move
forward
in
addition
to
having
something
like
this
annual
cycle
of
strategic
planning
and
aligning
priorities,
I
we
think
it
would
be
helpful
to
create
some
other
processes
to
make
sure
throughout
the
year.
That
there's
a
connection.
M
I
do
think
it's
fair
and
reasonable
that
staff
can
play
a
role
there.
So
I
know
we
started
doing
things
like
receive
and
file
of
minutes,
but
we
could
issue
reports
periodically
as
one
example
it.
It
is
sometimes
very
time
consuming
for
the
five
council
members
to
have
a
monthly
assignment
or
more
than
one
for
commissions.
Given
how
much
other
work
we
put
on
your
plates-
and
you
know
some
council
members
work
full-time
and
you
know
that
that
can
be
hard.
M
Maybe
something
like
attending
at
least
quarterly
would
be
an
alternative
or
again
maybe
a
staff
report
might
be
sufficient
to
keep
some
of
that
connectivity,
and
then
I
think
staff
would
also
make
the
same
recommendation
for
your
consideration.
That
building
in
something
like
an
annual
get-together
might
also
be
an
opportunity
to
celebrate
the
volunteers
who
serve
on
our
commissions
that
give
their
free
time
and
their.
You
know
their
passion
to
these
endeavors.
A
L
Thank
you,
mayor
yeah.
L
I
know
that
in
the
past
we
tried
to
have
liaisons
to
each
of
the
commissions
and
it
didn't
quite
work
out
for
for
anyone
which
is
unfortunate,
but
I
I
would
be
interested
if
it
were
on
a
quarterly
basis
or
a
check-in
I'm,
but
I,
but
I
really
defer
to
the
three
council
members
who
were
already
who
actually
went
through
this
process
in
the
past,
to
see
what
your
thoughts
are,
because
I
do
want
us
to
to
have
some
sort
of
communication,
but
I
struggle
to
figure
out
what
that
would
be.
A
Happy
to
jump
in
I
enjoyed
when
I
was
a
liaison
with
the
planning
commission.
A
It
wasn't
possible
to
be
present
for
all
of
their
meetings
and,
frankly,
it
really
wasn't
necessary
to
be
present
for
all
of
the
meetings,
but
it
was
an
opportunity
to
to
exchange
ideas
and
information,
and
I
thought
there
was
a
better
connection,
because
there
was
someone
from
council
who
was
interacting
with
them
on
a
regular
basis.
A
The
the
time
demands,
though,
are
pretty
significant,
particularly
with
as
many
commissions
as
we
have
so
I
I
think
we
I'd
like
to
see
us
bring
something
like
this
back,
but
be
honest
with
ourselves
as
to
what
is
what
we
are
all
capable
of
doing,
so
that
we
don't
over
promise.
D
Yeah
I'll
I
mean
my
experience,
was
it
typically
was
quarterly,
and
often
it
was
for
part
of
a
meeting
so
even
aft.
D
You
know
I
did
that
with
parks
and
rec
and
it
usually
be
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting,
so
they
could
check
in
sort
of
you
know
it
was
me
I
was
a
council
member
at
the
time
and
the
city
manager
just
to
make
sure
they
were
on
track
and
not
going
off
or
to
raise
things
they
wanted
to
get
council
input
on,
and
it
was
usually
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting,
and
I
think
something
like
that
worked
and
get
the
connection
without
it
having
to
take.
D
N
Thank
you
mayor.
I
definitely
support
quarterly
reports
or
even
like
presentations
to
city
council.
I
think
there's
essentially
no
almost
no
channels
to
get
information
if
you're
a
commission
to
city
council
without
relying
on
staff,
to
do
that.
So
I
think
that's
valuable
and
frankly
you
know,
since
we
don't
we
weren't
seeing
minutes,
I
mean
we
are
very
disconnected
from
what
the
commissions
are
doing.
N
I'm
not
supportive
of
the
liaison
structure
because
it
if
we're
going
to
have
part-time
council
members,
which
is
our
current
structure
and
pay,
it's
really
burdensome
on
council
members
who
work
full-time,
especially
when
they're
during
the
day
and
then
when
you
have
a
liaison.
Yes,
there's
so
much
expectation
to
attend
every
meeting,
and
then
I
you
know
you
get
hate
mail
from
commissioners
saying.
N
Why
aren't
you
at
my
meeting
and
you
have
to
say
you
don't
understand,
I'm
liaison
to
30
organizations,
so
I
thought
that
it
set
people
up
for
for
failure
and
sort
of
you
were
real
and
then
that
just
gets
information
to
one
commissioner,
one
council,
member,
sorry,
so
that
council
member
holds
all
the
information,
and
so
it
can
be
a
really
really
good
back
and
forth,
but
I
think
it
also
limits
the
information
and
isn't
in
an
organized
way
for
the
institution.
N
You
know
as
a
commissioner
when
I
was
a
commissioner
and
I
ran
for
city
council,
because
I
was
frustrated
that
my
work
on
city
council
on
commission
wasn't
getting
to
city
council
or
doing
much,
which
I
think
is
why
a
lot
of
people
run.
You
know,
I.
I
think
that
there
should
be
some
clear
pathways
that
aren't
reliant
on
you
know
who
you
have
as
a
council
member
as
a
liaison
right
or
who
has
time
to
do
all
that
building
up
of
work.
That's
probably
staff
work.
M
Additionally,
sometimes
they
want
to
get
into
communication,
or
you
know
other
tasks
that
I
don't
think
any
of
us
think
that
that's
wrong,
but
sometimes
staff
struggles
to
understand
where
to
draw
the
line
and
what
the
commissions
don't
always
know
is.
Maybe
what
council
has
asked
to
come
back
next
month
where
staff
is
doing
additional
resource
research
or,
where
me
or
an
assistant
city
manager?
Somebody
else
has
directed
a
department
head
to
focus
in
a
certain
area
and
then,
at
the
same
time,
a
commission
is
ready
to
expand
a
certain
project.
M
So
we
want
to
accommodate
as
much
of
that
work
as
possible,
but
we'd
like
to
memorialize
in
the
handbook,
with
the
permission
and
direction
from
council
that
that
we
want
to
be
as
helpful
as
we
can,
but
we
also
want
to
empower
staff
to
be
able
to
have
a
dialogue
with
commissions
and
just
help
understand
when
you
know
we
can't
get
things
done
as
quickly
or
you
know.
In
certain
instances,
communication
comes
to
mind.
M
L
Thank
you.
I
I
really
love
this
stuff,
I'm
actually
trying
not
to
talk,
but
I
I
can't
help
it
and
for
this
one
I
think
this
is
really
important,
because
I
I
have
heard
lots
of
little
things
here
and
there
about
staff
being
really
burnt
out
by
our
commissions,
because
the
commissions
demand
a
lot
of
our
staff,
and
this
is
commissions,
are
one
small
part
of
that
staff
member's
time,
and
so
I
really
support
making
sure
that
our
commissioners
are
understanding
of
what
the
limitations
are
for
staff.
L
So
thank
you
for
including
this
and-
and
I
just
want
our
staff
members
to
know
that
we
care
and
that
we
don't
want
them
to
feel
like
the
commissions
that
they
have
to
be.
You
know
doing
every
little
thing
that
the
commissions
want,
because
we
have
the
best
intentions
when
we're
on
commissions,
but
that
doesn't
mean
we
can
do
it
all.
N
Thank
you
mayor.
I
appreciate
this
recommendation
and
I
support
it.
I
think
that
a
handbook
is
often
only
as
good
as
the
training,
so
I
would
hate
for
staff
to
send
a
ton
spend
a
ton
of
time
on
a
handbook
if
we're
not
also
gonna
just
do
some
onboarding.
A
All
right,
thank
you.
We'll
move
on
to
challenge
number
10.
M
That's
generally
a
good
thing,
we
don't
want
to
dissuade
people
from
exploratory
conversations
and
things
like
that,
but
we
do
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
understands
that
there
is
a
responsibility
to
the
larger
body
and
that
really
most
of
the
work
should
occur
when
the
body
is
assembled.
So
this
is
another
area
where
we
think
a
handbook
and-
and
some
onboarding
would
help
to
just
make
sure
that
you
know
occasionally
we
might
have
a
commission
member
either
freelancing
on
the
side
a
bit.
M
You
know,
and
I'm
sure,
with
always
with
good
intentions,
but
sometimes
leaving
the
rest
of
the
commission
out
of
the
conversation
or
work.
That
also
is
almost
always
leaving
the
public
out
of
the
conversation
and
work,
because
we
want
to
maintain
transparency.
Sometimes
those
result
in
additional
pressures
for
staff.
If
an
individual
commission
member
has
an
idea
about
a
conversation
that
they
remembered
after
the
meeting
is
over
but
wants
additional
research,
and
so
we
just
want
to
make
sure
the
expectation
is
to
refunnel
that
energy
back
into
the
next
meeting.
M
It
is
a
little
bit
slow
it.
You
know
things
evolve
kind
of
over
time
when
you
don't
meet
for
another
month
and
again,
not
to
say
we
wouldn't
allow
conversations,
but
that
we
would
just
remind
commission
members
and
train
that
there
really
is
a
responsibility
to
act
as
a
body
in
front
of
the
public
to
conduct
our
work
that
way
and
avoid
how
much
occurs
outside
of
that
public
process
with
the
body
assembled.
A
So
you've
outlined
some
next
steps
for
us.
Would
you
like
to
go
over
those.
M
Happily
so,
first
thing
we'll
do
given
this
direction
and
again,
if
there
are
other
items
you
want
to
throw
out,
we
should
take
an
opportunity
for
those
but
we'll
begin
implementing
these
recommendations.
I've
mentioned
we
have
collected
some
existing
policies
and
handbooks
and
bylaws.
M
Some
of
that
will
take
some
time,
but
we
can
begin
reconsidering
even
the
size
of
the
commission,
which,
in
and
of
itself,
would
take
most
likely
an
amendment
to
the
ordinance
so
we'll
probably
package
that,
with
some
of
the
other
things
that
we
want
to
accomplish
in
that
level,
setting
that
we
discussed
we'll
start
working
on
a
handbook,
we'll
consider
recommendations
for
specific
commissions
that
we
haven't
yet
outlined
right.
So
there
might
be
a
few
other
instances
where
there
are
one-off
considerations.
M
So
if
we
bring
back
something
like
a
proposal
that
they'll
be
quarterly
presentations
to
counsel
that
we
actually
start
to
mark
those
on
the
calendar
and
work
around
them,
so
that
those
things
don't
get
forgotten
and
then
one
possibility
for
your
consideration
is
to
have
one
of
these
first
get-togethers,
potentially
a
dinner.
We
do
have
a
study
session
scheduled
for
june
21st,
that
is
likely
after
we
will
need
to
adopt
the
budget
or
at
least
have
the
public
hearing
for
the
budget.
M
So
I
don't
think
it
would
conflict
with
that
schedule
and
we
could
have
a
joint
meeting
where
we
both
celebrate
and
honor
the
commitment
that
our
commissioners
have
made,
but
also
give
them
an
opportunity
to
speak.
For
you
know
some
set
amount
of
time
so
that
other
commissions
could
hear
what
what
everyone
is
doing.
Council
could
do
the
same
and
and
and
kind
of
kick
start
some
of
this
process.
M
The
right
way
with
you
know
some
food,
and
you
know
conversation
that
is
a
little
lighter
and
and
positive
as
a
way
to
kind
of
encapsulate
some
of
these
things.
So
that's
our
next
steps,
but
again,
council.
If
you
see
other
things
that
we
ought
to
consider
or
notes
for
us
on
other
items,
we
should
bring
back
we're
eager
to
get
that
direction.
A
I
support
the
direction
you're
outlining
other
questions
comments.
D
Yeah
mayor
just
a
couple
things
you
know
as
because
I
think
you
know
with
outreach
to
the
commissions
you
know
and
thinking
about
it.
I
think
some
commissions
right.
You
see
hspb
or
planning
or
sustainability,
which
is
a
large
commission,
but
had
a
dedicated
staff
person
working
with
them
was
able
to
do
so
much
and
so
where,
where
the
commissions
have
more
effectiveness
than
others
and
just
get
a
sense
from
them
what's
worked
well
and
what
hasn't?
Because
I
think
it'll
be
different
among
different
commissions
right.
D
You
know,
I
did
a
lot
of
work,
you
know
with
sustainability
in
particular,
and
I
wasn't
necessarily
a
liaison-
or
I
think
I
might
have
been,
but
it
was
just
as
projects
came
up
right
and
I
know
mayor
middleton
when
she
was
on
planning.
Commission
worked
with
sustainability
as
a
liaison
back
and
forth,
so
things
were
more
coordinated,
so
it'd
be
great.
D
You
know-
maybe
it's
just
meeting
with
the
chairs
of
all
the
commissions,
to
really
get
a
sense
of
where
things
they
thought
worked
really
well
and
didn't,
because
I
think
that
and
that
information
will
really
help
as
we
move
this
forward
and
the
only
other
one
I
think
we've
talked
before
you
know
about
how
to
handle
things
like
appeals
right
for
permanent
appeals
and
things
along
those
lines
and
hearing
officers,
and
so
it'd
be
good
to
get
some
input
from
staff
on
best
practices
around
that.
A
L
I
think
you,
along
those
same
lines,
I
would
be
interested
to
also
get
the
perspective
on
staff
that
are,
the
liaisons
are
assigned
to
these
different
commissions
to
see
what
works
well
for
them.
And
what
doesn't
I'm
a
little
bit
concerned
that
we
haven't
talked
enough
to
staff
about
their
experience,
working
with
commissions,
really
good
point.
M
If
I
might
mayor,
I
I'm
hearing
that
we
want
to
continue
to
get
some
good
feedback,
we
did
have
one
round
with
commissions
in
november,
but
I
think,
as
we
approach
some
of
these
recommendations
and
share
the
information
with
commissions
or
host
events.
Like
the
one
we're
talking
about
in
june,
we
could
incorporate
another
opportunity
to
identify
things
that
have
worked
and
not
worked,
and
we
did
have
two
pretty
extensive
rounds
of
conversation
with
staff,
both
individually
and
in
a
group
setting
to
generate
some
content.
M
A
lot
of
that
fed
the
the
challenges
that
are
outlined
here.
But
that
is
something
we
propose
also
doing
annually
as
a
kind
of
retreat
and
visioning
session
that
the
commissions
would
have
on
their
own
to
feed
information
back
up
to
council
and
then
back
as
part
of
that
annual
cycle,
to
really
make
sure
we
maximize
that
opportunity
to
identify
what's
working
and
what's
not
consistently.
So
if
that
all
sounds
good,
we'll
we'll
start
putting
this
in
motion.
A
M
To
point
out
that,
what's
on
our
tentative
upcoming
meeting
schedule,
unless
anyone
has
feedback
before
that,
please
so
may
26
right
now
is
shaping
up.
We
might
have
a
little
space
on
the
agenda,
but
again
every
time
we're
a
couple
of
weeks
out.
We
typically
make
an
adjustment
or
two,
but
these
are
the
items
we
have,
that
we're
anticipating
right
now.
M
Finally,
getting
started
with
our
discussion
on
the
franchise
agreement,
potentially
some
adjustment
to
the
administrative
citation
ordinance
we
have
identified.
I
should
pause
to
say:
we've
identified
a
handful
of
items
like
this
one,
where
we're
trying
to
prepare
the
item
in
the
staff
report
in
advance.
M
It's
not
time
sensitive,
but
if
we
have
an
agenda
like
this
one,
where
we
might
have
some
time.
We'll
add
an
item
like
that:
we're
going
to
try
to
collect
those
on
a
list
for
you
next
time.
We
look
at
the
future
meeting
schedule.
So
you
know
what
items
are
in
that
queue
and
and
they
might
get
bumped
as
pressing
and
timely
work
comes
along,
but
we'll
just
try
to
make
sure
we
make
the
most
of
the
the
time
that
we
have
when
we
meet.
M
We
would
like
to
have
an
additional
budget
study
session
focused
on
the
direction
we
got
at
our
first
two.
So
that's
primarily
going
to
be
answering
all
the
questions,
we're
going
to
basically
outline
each
one
that
we
heard
and
provide
an
answer
as
a
starting
point
in
the
staff
report
to
facilitating
those
and
then
we'll
look
both
at
the
general
fund
and
the
capital
fund
in
terms
of
veil
of
available
funding
and
the
potential
uses
of
funding
both
what
staff
had
outlined
and
what
we
heard
council
want
to
include.
M
M
If
you
have
your
calendars
nearby,
we're
looking
at
potentially
may
23rd
june,
6th
or
june
7th,
we,
we
have
not
found
a
date
yet
where
nobody
has
a
conflict.
So
don't
know
if
anybody
has
something
that
can
either
move
or
we
can
schedule
a
different
time
or
something
on
one
of
those
three
dates
may
23rd
june,
6th
or
june
7th.
L
A
I
think
the
may
23rd
date
would
be
pretty
problematic,
but
hopefully
we
can
make
either
june
6
or
7
work.
A
All
right,
I
think,
you've
gotten
some
direction
there,
but
I
know
we're
trying
to
avoid
the
seventh
of
june.
M
A
D
A
Are
there
other
council
member
comments
or
questions
mayor
pro
or
excuse
me,
everybody's
mayor
pro
tem
tonight,
council
member
coors
been
a
long
time
for
me.
D
D
I
just
want
to
put
on
the
radar
that
we
need
to
do
it
before
there's
a
new
council
for
to
apply
to
them
right
before
I
don't
know
if
it's
before
elections
or
before
swearing
in.
D
And
you
know,
I
don't
know
if
the
majority
wants
us
to
have
that
discussion,
but
I'd
like
to
see
it
agendized
at
some
point,
and
you
know
the
state
does
it
through.
I
think
san
francisco
and
some
other
cities
do
it
through
an
independent.
D
You
know
salary
setting
group,
you
know
analyzes
what
salary
should
be
right,
no
guarantees
they
go
up
or
down,
but
you
know
really
tries
to
figure
out
based
on
what
the
job
entails,
what
the
salary
should
be.
So
it's
not
us
making
that
decision.
It's
their
recommendation,
then.
Obviously
I
think
we
have
to
adopt
it,
but
I
just
want
that
to
get
lost
and
then
it's
the
end
of
the
year
more
like
oops.
D
L
Thank
you
yeah.
I
really
support
that
and
as
someone
who
just
had
long
conversations
today
about
how
difficult
it
is
to
hold
a
job,
full-time
job
and
be
on
city
council
and
the
pay
is
so
low
when
you
are
working
full-time
as
a
city
councilor
and
it's
just
not
sustainable,
and
I
don't
think
we're
ever
going
to
get
a
diverse
group
of
citizens
representing
us.
If
we
continue
on
this
path,
and
so
I
really
do
think
that
it
that
it
is
important.
L
A
G
I
can
just
tell
you
that
I
empathize
with
mayor
pro
tem
and
I
think
the
last
year
has
been
extremely
at
last
two
years,
stressful
with
kovid
and
the
way
that
the
city
has
to
react.
The
way
that
we've
had
to
react.
The
way
the
staff
has
to
react,
the
number
of
constituents.
G
So
if
there
isn't
going
to
be
or
part
of
the
staff
report,
if
there
isn't
going
to
be
a
pay,
raise
at
least
some
processes,
maybe
there's
some
administrative
help
on
answering
emails
or
clearing
through
those
emails.
You
know-
maybe
you
know
whatever
form
works
best
for
the
city
as
a
whole
to
keep
our
messaging
and
then
what?
If
we
were
to
increase
the
salaries?
You
know
what
would
be
the
responsibilities
and
just
to
find
those
a
little
better.
I
think
that
would
be
important
because
there
is
a
lot
of
work.
G
That's
dealt
with
not
only
reading
staff
reports
but,
as
we
heard
with
the
fuego
light
club
touring
talking
to
people,
you
know-
and
that's
just
one
item-
that's
on
the
staff
report.
So
thank
you.
A
All
right,
if
there
are
no
other
questions
or
comments
from
anyone,
then
we've
reached
the
point
of
adjournment
at
9:
10
p.m.
The
next
regular
city
council
meeting
will
be
held
on
may
26
2022
at
5
30
p.m.
We
are
adjourned.
Please
be
safe
out.
There.
