Description
Regular Meeting of the Palm Springs City Council, held July 14th, 2022
A
A
B
A
All
right,
as
the
public
we'll
obviously
be
able
to
see,
we
are
not
in
chambers
this
evening
we
are
back
in
a
zoom
environment.
This
resulted
from
the
need
to
have
a
few
of
our
members
who
had
to
be
out
of
town
as
well
as
being
very
cautious
when
it
comes
to
coven
a
few
of
our
team
members
who
have
been
exposed
so
in
an
abundance
of
caution.
We
are
on
zoom
this
evening.
A
There
is
an
opportunity
for
those
who
wish
to
be
in
chambers
to
be
in
chambers,
and
we
will
be
taking
public
comment
from
both
chambers
and
remotely
and
virtually
it
is
our
expectation
and
hope
that
we
will
be
back
in
chambers
for
the
july
28th
meeting
with
that.
We
have
a
few
presentations
this
evening
and
I
would
like
to
begin
by
calling
on
the
mayor
pro
tim
with
regards
to
a
parks
and
recreation
proclamation.
C
Expansion
of
the
local
tax
base,
increased
tourism,
the
attraction
and
retention
of
businesses
and
crime
reduction,
and
whereas
parks
and
recreation
areas
are
fundamental
to
the
environmental
well-being
of
our
community
and
whereas
parks
and
natural
recreation
areas
improve
water
quality.
Protect
groundwater,
prevent
flooding,
improve
the
quality
of
the
air.
C
It
really
was
beautifully
said
that
it
that
parks
and
recreation
are
vital
to
our
communities
and
make
such
a
difference,
and
I'm
really
proud
of
this
council
for
strongly
investing
in
parks
and
recreation
in
our
latest
budget.
So
thank
you
so
much
and
welcome
to
our
representative
here,
yvonne
wise
from
our
parks,
recreation
department.
Do
you
have
anything
you
want
to
add?
C
F
D
H
Sharing
now
yes,
perfect,
thank
you.
So
much
again,
I
apologize
thank
you,
mayor
and
council
for
allowing
me
to
be
here.
My
name
is
tammy
gordon,
I'm,
the
public
information
manager
for
the
coachella
valley,
mosquito
and
vector
control
district,
and
I
just
wanted
to
run
through
some
of
the
work
that
we'll
be
doing
in
palm
springs
this
summer.
H
H
H
It's
not
currently
transmitting
any
diseases
throughout
the
state
of
california.
However,
it
has
potential
for
zika,
chikungunya
dengue
and
other
diseases
and
such,
but
what
we've
learned
from
with
other
areas
that
have
transmission
from
this
mosquito
to
humans
is
that
if
we
keep
the
mosquito
numbers
down
the
abundance
down,
the
risk
is
much
lower
for
a
future
outbreak.
H
We
do
have
some
information,
that's
available,
that
will
be
updated
as
often
as
possible
for
palm
springs
residents,
and
that
is
a
web
page
specific
for
the
area,
and
you
can
find
that
at
cvmosquito.org
palm
springs,
2022
that
will
have
the
map
and
any
updated
application,
including
faqs,
and
if
anything
happens
as
in
last
year,
when
we
didn't
do
a
couple
of
the
treatments
that
we
were
supposed
to
be
doing
due
to
equipment,
malfunction
we'll
post.
All
of
that
information
on
this
website.
H
A
I
I
just
heard
your
voice
for
the
first
time.
So
can
you
hear
me
great
mayor
and
council?
Thank
you
very
much
for
making
the
time
for
me
to
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
about
the
conservancy
we
have
some
slides.
Can
someone
show
those
there?
We
are
at
the
next
slide.
Please
state
agency.
We
were
founded
in
1991
as
a
public
sector.
Land
trust
we're
one
of
ten
conservancies
in
california,
some
that
you've
probably
heard
of
like
the
coastal
conservancy,
the
santa
monica
mountains,
conservancy
the
lake
tahoe,
conservancy,
etc.
I
I
Several
state
agencies
have
seats,
including
those
that
are
involved
with
the
environment,
like
the
department
of
fish
and
wildlife
and
the
wildlife
conservation
board.
Next
slide,
please.
So
what
do
we
do?
We
have
broad
statutory
authority
to
support
conservation
of
the
coachella
valley
and
its
surrounding
mountains.
We've
worked
in
three
prime
areas,
one
our
most
foremost
area
is
in
land
conservation
to
protect
open
space
that
has
habitat
cultural
or
recreation
values.
I
D
I
I
We
have
a
trails
program
that
works
to
create
new
trails
and
improve
existing
ones.
We
also
have
three
grant
programs,
one
that
supports
water-related
projects,
another
for
recreation
projects
and
another
for
climate
change
related
projects.
Over
the
past
20
odd
years,
we've
either
funded
or
acquired,
or
helped
acquire
over
a
hundred
thousand
acres
for
conservation.
I
The
next
slide:
please,
our
territory
has
changed
since
we
were
founded
in
the
90s.
The
our
territory
was
that
which
is
cross-hatched
there,
basically,
the
mountainous
areas,
hence
our
name
in
2008
with
the
enactment
of
the
multiple
species
plan,
our
territory
expanded
to
be
bounded
by
the
outside
perimeter
of
the
plan.
That's
the
red
line
around
that
the
area
next
slide.
Please,
our
funding
for
operations
comes
from
the
environmental
license
plate
fund.
We
have
four
full-time
staff.
The
bond
proceeds
give
us
sort
of
our
cloud
or
our
effectiveness.
I
Over
the
last
20
plus
years,
we've
gotten
over
78
million
that
we've
plowed
into
investments
in
the
coachella
valley.
We
also
apply
for
and
receive
funding
from
the
feds,
mostly
from
this,
the
u.s
fish
and
wildlife
service,
section
6
program
that
supports
preservation
or
restoration
of
habitat
for
endangered
species.
I
Next
slide,
please,
our
acquisition
program
works
through
partnerships,
so
it's
kind
of
a
three-legged
stool
of
organizations.
First
is
the
conservancy
that
uses
state
bond
funds.
The
second
is
the
coachella
valley
conservation
commission
and
I
won't
steal
their
thunder.
Their
presentation
is
next,
but
basically
their
role
is
to
implement
the
multiple
species
plan
and
they
have
funds
from
developer
fees
that
they
use
to
purchase
land.
Then
there's
the
non-profits,
such
as
the
friends
of
the
desert,
mountains,
the
oswit
land,
trust,
the
friends
of
the
palm
springs,
mountains,
etc.
I
Next
step
our
next
slide,
please!
So
what
are
our
roles?
The
conservancy
at
this
point
is
the
only
conservation
organization
in
the
valley
that
has
full-time
real
estate
staff
and
we
it's
very
difficult
for
state
agencies
to
acquire
property
at
this
point
in
time.
So
we
tend
to
fund
non-profits
or
local
agencies
to
acquire
them,
and
then
we
work
I'll.
Take
the
next
slide
slide.
I
Please
we
work
as
cvcc's
acquisition
manager,
so
it
gets
a
little
confusing
because
I'm
working
both
on
cvmc
transactions
and
cvcc
transactions,
and
those
of
you
on
the
cvcc
board,
see
me
presenting
recommendations
for
acquisitions
there.
But
it's
very
helpful
because
it
allows
us
to
coordinate
among
the
various
partners
here
in
the
valley
about
acquisitions.
I
The
next
slide,
some
key
palm
springs
acquisitions
sort
of
illustrate
this
and
you're
familiar
with.
Most
of
these,
I'm
sure
the
angel
code,
cove
transaction
in
2013,
the
conservancy
funded
the
purchase
by
friends
of
palm
springs
mountains
of
that
and
it
was
later
conveyed
to
the
city.
So
you
are
now
the
proud
owners
of
angel
cove.
The
shadow
rock
transaction
2014
was
funding
from
the
feds
from
section
six
from
cvmc
and
the
wildlife
conservation
board.
I
Turning
to
our
trail
projects,
or
as
I
mentioned,
we've
built
several
new
trails
in
the
last
five
years,
the
kim
nicholl
trail
and
desert
edge,
the
india
badlands
trail,
the
long
canyon
trail
earlier
this
year
was
opened.
We
have
seven
more
in
progress.
We
also
have
a
a
program
where
we
work
mostly
through
volunteers
of
the
front,
with
the
friends
of
the
desert,
mountains
and
other
groups
to
restore
existing
trails
or
add
signage,
where
it's
worn
out
or
falling
down
or
add
interpretive
signage.
I
I
The
third
sort
of
a
major
one
of
our
category
of
activities
is
our
grant
programs.
In
turn,
there
are
three
of
the
three
of
them
there.
Maybe
on
the
next
slide,
please
proposition
one
grant
program
funds
projects
that
implement
the
coachella
valley
water
plan
in
the
I'm
sorry,
the
california
water
plant
in
the
coachella
valley,
anything
from
watershed,
restoration
to
reducing
water
use
to
improving
water
quality
to
preventing
flooding
is
fundable.
I
We
have
a
couple
of
million
dollars
left
in
prop
1
money.
We
have
an
rfp
on
the
street.
Now
so,
if
you
have
some
projects,
please
apply
next
slide.
Please
the
prop
68
grant
program
funds,
outdoor
recreation
projects
or
projects
that
respond
to
climate
change.
Obviously,
trails
projects,
interpretive
signage
projects,
we're
funding
the
development
or
the
construction
of
public,
serving
improvements
at
the
historic
chamber,
ranch
right
above
the
the
northern
perimeter
of
palm
springs
off
of
highway
74.
I
we're
funding
some
urban
greening
projects
and
some
energy
energy
related
projects,
such
as
charging
stations
or
solar
composting
facilities.
The
next
slide,
please,
the
last
grant
program
is
the
climate
resilience
and
community
access
grant
program.
That's
funded
by
some
general
funds
that
we've
gotten
this
year.
It
can
be
used
for
non-capital
activities
like
education
and
staff
development.
I
We've
focused
really
hard
on
trying
to
develop
expertise
and
in-house
staff
capacity
at
various
conservation
organizations
to
sort
of
invest
in
the
future,
and
we've
spent
most
of
the
money
we
have
for
that.
But
there
is
money
in
the
august
trailer
bill
the
budget
bill
in
sacramento
that
we
hope
will
be
enacted
and
provide
more
funding
for
us,
so
the
next
and
last
slide.
I
A
J
No,
it's
a
great
group
of
people.
I
think
it's
a
perfect
timing.
You
know
with
recreation
and
us
funding
our
parks.
More
jim
is
a
great
collaborator
with
like
oswald
canyon,
which
has
really
benefited
not
only
the
the
residents
of
coachella
valley,
but
particularly
palm
springs.
So
jim.
I
really
thank
you
for
that.
Collaboration.
J
We've
looked
at
other
properties.
Jim
is
very
imaginative
in
making
this
all
happen,
and
one
of
the
great
things
about
palm
springs
and
our
tourism
is
our
outdoor
open
area
and
we're
trying
to
maintain
that
to
keep
that
in
perpetuity.
So
jim
thanks
and
the
board,
and
thanks
to
the
council
for
their
confidence
in
me
and
representing
us.
Thank
you
all
right.
A
K
Evening,
mayor
middleton,
thank
you
to
yourself
and
the
rest
of
the
council
for
inviting
me
to
speak
tonight.
Let's
go
ahead
and
get
my
screen
shared
here,
all
right,
so
I'll
be
presenting
the
2021
coachella
valley,
multiple
species,
habitat
conservation
plan,
annual
report-
our
as
you
know,
councilmember
woods
has
already
seen
this
he's
been
an
excellent
participant
in
all
of
our
discussions
for
the
previous
two
years,
and
many
of
the
activities
we
discussed
tonight
have
been
in
no
small
part
due
to
his.
K
You
know:
excellent
cooperation
and
excellent
leadership
throughout
the
commission
process.
So
without
further
ado,
let's
see
okay,
so
the
coachella
valley,
multiple
species,
have
that
conservation
plan.
In
addition
to
being
a
mouthful,
is
also
a
joint
habitat
conservation
plan
and
natural
community
conservation
plan
authorized
by
the
united
states,
fish
and
wildlife
service
and
the
california
department
of
fish
and
wildlife
service
respectively.
K
It
does
this
by
providing
programmatic
state
and
federal
incidental,
take
permits
for
development
projects,
both
within
our
priority
conservation
areas
and
within
the
cities
and
outside
the
conservation
areas
as
well.
This
has
really
helped
to
streamline
development
for
all
sorts
of
projects
across
the
valley.
Essentially,
it
allows
these
projects
to
move
forward
without
necessarily
having
to
go
through
a
rigorous
survey.
Biological
survey
and
permitting
process
kind
of
just
allows
them
for
to
to
you
know,
propose
a
project,
determine
the
consistency
of
the
cvms
hdp
and
then
move
forward
from
there.
K
So
it
really
helps
to
speed
these
projects
along
and
and
bolster
growth
in
the
area.
The
permits
issued
under
the
plan
last
for
75
years
and
we're
anticipating
that
the
first
35
of
those
years
will
be
spent
acquiring
land,
constructing
the
the
reserve
system
and
then
the
final
40
years
or
so.
In
addition
to
having
acquired
all
those
lands
will
be
spent
fundraising
essentially
through
development
fees
and
impact
fees
and
things
like
that
to
manage
these
lands.
K
Obviously,
it's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
land
that
we'll
need
to
manage
so
we're
you
know
putting
plenty
of
time
ahead
of
ourselves
to
kind
of
generate
the
necessary
funds
to
do
that
appropriately
and
responsibly
so
by
the
numbers.
Let's
talk,
some
stats
here
really
quick.
The
planned
boundary
encompasses
1.1
million
acres
or
1850
square
miles.
It
spans
from
banning
pass
in
the
west,
all
the
way
to
chiriaco
summit
in
the
east
and
has
been
designed
to
incorporate
all
of
the
watersheds
that
drain
into
the
valley
and
the
salton
sea.
K
K
So
those
prior
priority
conservation
areas
displayed
here
have
been
designed
to
capture
as
much
viable
habitat
for
those
covered
species
as
possible.
Some
of
those
species
and
habitats
include
sand
dunes
and
mesquite
hummucks
in
the
thousand
palms
area,
freshwater
marshes
in
the
coachella
valley,
storm
water,
channel
and
delta,
the
coachella
valley,
a
round-tailed
ground
squirrel,
flat-tailed,
horned,
lizard,
coachella
valley,
giant
sand,
shredder
cricket
desert,
pupfish,
coachella
valley,
milk,
fetch
and
wildlife
linkages
depicted
here
as
a
under
crossing
underneath
by
10
at
the
around
the
hog
and
lehman
exit
over
on
the
way
to
banning
area.
K
One
thing
I
want
to
point
out
here
is
how
many
of
those
species
I
just
named
include
the
phrase
coachella
valley
in
their
actual
name.
That
kind
of
just
highlights
the
strong
endemicity
that
we
have
present
in
the
valley
and
why
the
conservation
plan
is
so
important
to
protect
these
species,
also
not
pictured
here,
but
worth
a
mention.
Given
the
audience
is
the
one
of
the
covered
species
is
the
palm
springs
pocket
mouse,
which
is
an
adorable
little
guy?
K
K
Okay,
so
the
cvms
hdp
allocates
conservation
progress
to
one
of
three
categories,
essentially
by
acquisition
funding,
so
the
first
category
is
state
and
federal,
and
we've
set
out
a
goal
of
about
40
000
acres
to
conserve
with
state
and
federal
monies.
The
second
category
is
local
permittee.
This
includes
the
city
of
palm
springs,
the
other
cities
in
our
area,
as
well
as
unincorporated,
riverside
counties
and
the
other
20
folks
I
named
earlier.
K
We've
got
a
conservation
goal
for
this
category
of
about
a
hundred
thousand
acres
and
finally,
we
have
our
complimentary
conservation
category.
This
includes
funding
that
comes
from
nonprofits
or
you
know,
their
funding
sources,
as
jim
mentioned
friends
of
desert
mountains,
boswell
land
trust
a
few.
The
the
land
trusts
operating
in
the
high
desert
joshua
tree
and
their
goal
is
about
70
000
acres
of
conservation.
K
Unfortunately,
these
parcels,
in
addition
to
being
small,
are
also
very
expensive
because
of
the
development
potential
on
them,
so
we're
getting
kind
of
the
the
most
at
risk
parcels
right
now,
but
we
anticipate
that,
as
these
parcels
are
either
acquired
for
conservation
or
are
developed,
we'll
start
being
able
to
shift
our
efforts
to
more
rural
areas
within
the
planned
boundary
where
land
will
be
both
essentially
cheaper
per
acre
to
acquire
so
we're
kind
of
anticipating
this
number
to
crawl
or
to
rise
slowly
until
all
of
a
sudden.
It
goes
really
fast.
K
K
The
plan
itself
is
13
years
old,
so
100,
000
acres
over
13
years
is
actually
a
huge
feat.
You
know
it's
a
lot
of
land.
It's
taken
a
lot
of
effort
from
both
members
of
the
commission
from
our
partners
at
cbmc.
Our
partners
at
the
non-profits
also
purchasing
land
and
we're
just
very
excited
to
have
surpassed
this
milestone
and
we're
hoping
that
in
the
next
year
or
two
we'll
pass
that
50
milestone,
which
would
be
the
next
big
big
benchmark
for
us.
K
So,
of
course,
we're
always
thrilled
to
hear
the
team
is
doing
really
well,
but
we
always
want
to
know
about
our
favorite
player.
So
here
I've
zoomed
in
on
the
city
of
palm
springs,
which
is
the
largest
city
in
the
well.
Maybe
not
it's
one
of
the
largest
cities
in
the
area,
but
certainly
second
only
to
the
unincorporated
county
has
the
most
overlapped
most
conservation
areas.
So
you'll
see
here
in
the
northwest
portion
of
the
city.
We've
got
the
snow,
creek
windy,
point
conservation
area
they're
in
a
forest
green
immediately.
K
North
of
that
is
that
little
brown
chunk.
That's
the
highway
111
I-10
conservation
area,
and
then
we've
got
the
city
intersecting,
the
white
water,
floodplain
conservation
area
in
two
portions
kind
of
running
horizontal
along
the
northern
boundary
of
the
city
and,
of
course,
along
the
western
boundary
and
in
the
southern
mountainous
portion,
the
santa
rosa
and
san
jacinto
mountains
conservation
area,
we've
been
quite
active
in
acquiring
conservation
land.
Here
we've
acquired
about
8
257
acres
within
the
city,
boundaries
of
palm
springs.
K
The
vast
majority
of
this
has
been
in
the
santa
rosa
and
san
jacinto
mountains
conservation
area,
and
I
do
want
to
note,
too
that
this
map
only
displays
the
acquisition
progress
as
of
the
close
of
2021.
So
we've
got
those
of
you
familiar
with
palm
hills.
Transaction
that
closed
in
april,
2022
added
an
additional
3
200
acres
to
the
southern
mountain
region,
all
contained
within
the
palm
springs
city
limits.
So
we'll
see
this
number
jump
quite
a
bit
during
next
year's
report,
so
that
was
very
exciting.
K
This
is
about
42
acres,
just
south
of
gene
autry
trail
and
east
palm
canyon
drive,
in
addition
to
having
excellent
natural
resources
and
ecological
conservation
values
on
it.
It
also
serves
as
the
jumping
off
point
for
the
very
popular
goat
trails,
which
are
a
series
of
interconnected
trails,
kind
of
meandering
through
the
hills
and,
incidentally,
into
the
palm
hills
properties
which
we
also
just
acquired.
K
This
is
actually,
in
addition
to
the
conservation
values.
It
has
a
great
acquisition
for
cvcc,
because
it
will
allow
us
to
better
manage
trail
access
there,
we'll
be
able
to
clean
up
some
of
those
social
trails,
provide
interpretive
signage,
both
at
the
trailhead
and
potentially
higher
up
to
inform
people
to
stay
on
trail
or
to
you
know,
maintain
good
wildlife
etiquette
things
like
that.
K
K
You
know
in
these
burrows
that
you
can
see
in
this
picture
here
kind
of
peeking
out
flying
overhead
screaming
at
us
just
generally
telling
us
to
get
out
of
there,
the
other
habitat,
but
that
was
really
exciting.
So
there's
it's
a
very
popular,
I
guess
spot
for
that
kind
of
wildlife.
So
we
we're
just
thrilled
to
see
those
conservation
values.
You
know
in
the
flesh
as
it
were.
K
That
being
said,
it
also
had
some
significant
cleanup
needs.
These
were
some
historic
dump
sites.
We
had
identified
on
the
eastern
perimeter
of
the
property,
a
lot
of
fence,
debris
old,
pallets,
a
lot
of
shag
carpeting,
which
made
cleanup
very
difficult.
However,
as
part
of
the
acquisition
of
this
property,
we
caused
to
be
removed.
K
K
This
is
an
after
picture,
we're
actually
standing
across
the
street
from
where
the
previous
picture
was
taken,
and
you
can
see
this
is
where
those
those
piles
were.
You
know,
they've
been
removed
and
you
know
cleared
of
debris.
So
hopefully
we
can
start
seeing
some
some
vegetation
creep
in
there
and
just
slowly
restore
it
to
its
natural
conditions.
K
So
we
do
more
than
just
acquire
land.
We
also
have
to
oversee
the
implementation
of
any
development
projects
that
take
place
within
a
conservation
area
so
to
those
ends
we
authorized
one
new
development
project
within
a
conservation
area
over
the
course
of
2021,
and
also
logged
20.5
acres
worth
of
disturbance
that
took
place
pursuant
to
a
previously
approved
project.
K
K
So
after
we
buy
land,
there's
still
tons
of
work
to
be
done,
we
have
a
very
robust
biological
monitoring
program
that
requires
some
yearly
activities,
including
continued
monitoring
of
alien
sand
species,
who
we
that
we
conduct
in
conjunction
with
university
of
california
riverside
so
we're
out
there
surveying
for
french
toad,
lizards
and
flat-tailed
horned
lizards,
triple
which
triple
ribbed
milk
veggies.
Excuse
me,
coachella
valley,
milk,
veg,
here
pictured,
lower
right
and
little
san
bernadino
memphis,
which
is
mostly
from
the
upper
mission
creek
big
morongo
canyon
area.
K
We've
done
continued
honey,
mesquite
monitoring
and
installed
a
weather
station
willow
hole.
Those
weather
stations
depicted
here
on
the
left
will
help
us
gather
track
precipitation
and
other
environmental
variables,
and
we
are
also
partnering
with
ucr
again
to
conduct
surveys
for
cylindrical
trail
recruitment,
so
that
we
can
better
understand
the
climate
effects
on
the
constant
thrasher
habitat.
K
K
K
Okay,
so
okay
I'll
run
through
this
land
management,
we're
doing
tons
of
signage
we've
implemented
a
new
digital
asset
management
system,
we're
working
with
the
desert
rec
center
to
get
signage
at
our
trail
heads
and
we
continued
removing
debris
from
all
of
our
properties
as
tires
no
longer
there
and
finally,
the
every
land,
manager's
worst
nightmare
invasive
species
removal.
So
we've
been
working
with
sorry,
the
urban
conservation
corps
to
remove
cameras
from
willow
hole
ever
move
and
coachella
valley,
stormwater,
channel
and
delta
removed.
K
Eight
acres
of
tamarisk
from
the
north
shore
ranch
restoration
site
where
we've
also
recently
completed
a
draft
restoration
plan
for
rail,
habitat
enhancement,
project
funded
by
prop
1
through
the
coachella
valley,
mountains
conservancy.
So
thank
you.
Jim
we've
helped
numerous
volunteer
weed
pulling
days
to
remove
invasive
fountain
grass
and
stink
net,
and
we
are
planning
to
a
mesquite
restoration
project
in
partnership
with
mission
springs
water
district
that
we're
going
to
start
this
year
in
willow
hole
and
hopefully
yeah.
I'm
happy
to
entertain
any
questions
if
there's
time.
Otherwise,
thank
you
for
having
me
tonight.
A
J
Okay
may
or,
if
I
may,
oh,
I
think,
just
to
kind
of
wrap
up.
What
peter
did
you
know,
keeping
our
open
space
open
natural
beautiful
is
a
ton
of
work
as
peter
just
showed,
and
it
is
your
government
at
work,
and
the
coachella
valley
is
incredibly
unique
in
this.
In
that
we
have
come
up
with
a
program
that
allows
developers
to
build
out
in
the
basin
floor
while
we
try
to
preserve
the
surrounding
mountains,
it's
incredible,
it's
a
foreshadowing
to
me,
but
it
is
an
incredible
program.
J
A
You
we'll
move
on
yesterday
in
palm
springs,
we
lost
one
of
the
great
women
of
our
city
with
the
loss
of
roseanne
supple.
She
was
97
years
young,
a
businesswoman,
a
philanthropist
long
time.
Member
of
the
palm
springs
international
film
festival,
sponsor
of
the
veterans
day
parade
co-owner
with
her
husband,
rick
of
r
r
broadcasting,
co-founder
of
the
palm
springs
cultural
center
and
someone
who
brought
so
much
joy
to
our
community.
A
On
behalf
of
the
city
council,
we
thank
the
supple
family
for
your
commitment
to
our
city,
and
I
will
ask
that
at
the
conclusion
of
our
meeting
this
evening,
that
we
adjourn
in
memory
of
mrs
roseanne
supple
with
that.
Our
last
presentation
is
from
our
assistant
city
manager,
theresa
gallivan
and
veronica
goodheart,
who
is
the
director
of
our
special
programs,
and
this
is
going
to
be
an
update
on
vacation
rentals.
G
G
I'm
going
to
go
back
one,
so
staff
staff
got
to
work
on
that
and
we
put
together
information
that
is
on
the
special
programs
website
and
it
outlines
the
goals
of
this
work
group
and
the
time
commitment
that
those
that
are
going
to
be
on
the
committee
will
be
giving
to
the
city.
We
anticipate
there'll
be
four
to
five
meetings
that
would
span
a
period
of
starting
next
week
through
september,
so
that
we
can
be
coming
to
the
city
council
with
recommendations.
In
october.
G
We
also
outlined
the
various
discussion
topics
that
this
work
group
will
go
over
and
with
council's
direction.
Of
course,
we
identified
the
size
of
the
work
group.
We
have
looking
for
11
members
to
this
work
group,
and
then
we
will
also
have
staff
there
to
provide
data,
information,
expertise.
The
agendas
and
I
will
facilitate
the
discussions.
G
But
we
are
looking
for
diversity
and
perspectives
and
dynamic
discussions
so
that
we
can
bring
you
bounced
recommendations,
so
I'd
like
to
enter.
We
went
through
and
opened
up
the
work
group
application
period
from
july
6
through
the
11th.
We
had
very
good
response.
We
got
the
word
out
through
social
media
posting
it
on
the
website,
1ps
and
the
vacation.
G
Rentals
distribution
lists
were
also
activated,
so
we
had
a
very
good
response
and
in
this-
and
we
are
looking
forward
to
starting
next
week
with
getting
the
work
group
going
I'd
like
to
introduce
actually
patrick
clifford,
who
has
been
really
instrumental
in
making
this
all
come
together
and
will
be
helping
us
get
to
the
finish
line
on
this
as
well.
So
patrick.
G
As
teresa
mentioned
on
july
6,
our
department
did
send
out
communication
to
residents
that
the
city
was
creating
a
vacation,
rental
and
home
show
work
group
just
this
communication
directed
residents
to
visit
our
work
group
website
where
there
was
an
application
to
complete
if
the
ins,
if
the
resident
was
interested,
and
so
between
last
wednesday,
the
6th
and
monday
here
on
the
11th
at
6
p.m.
We
received
133
applications.
G
G
G
A
Thank
you.
So
with
that
we
will
now
move
on
to
the
acceptance
of
the
agenda.
Our
next
item
is
acceptance
of
the
agenda.
The
city
council
will
discuss
the
order
of
the
agenda,
may
amend
the
order,
add
urgency,
items,
note,
abstentions
or
no
votes
on
consent,
calendar
items
or
requests,
consent,
calendar
items
be
removed
for
a
separate
discussion.
A
L
We
just
found
out
about
this
today
and
they're
really
concerned
that
they
don't
have
the
vaccine
to
to
treat
people
or
treat
contacts
of
people.
So
I'd
like
to
add
this
to
do
a
letter
at
the
mayor
and
city
managers
appropriate
language
to
the
appropriate
people
to
the
agenda
so
for
the
city
attorney.
Is
that
adequate.
F
Yes,
thank
you,
council,
member
coors,
just
to
add
an
agenda
item
to
tonight's
agenda.
It
would
require
four
fifths
vote
upon
the
finding
that
this
information
came
to
the
attention
of
the
city
after
the
posting
of
the
agenda
and
that
the
council
needs
to
act
on
this
item
prior
to
the
next
regularly
scheduled
meeting.
C
A
A
N
M
A
F
A
The
next
item
is
public
testimony.
This
time
has
been
set
aside
for
members
of
the
public
to
address
the
city
council
on
non-public
hearing
agenda
items.
Only
two
minutes
will
be
assigned
to
each
speaker.
You
are
asked
to
please
begin
your
time
by
telling
us
what
agenda
item
or
items
you
are
speaking
about.
Please
note.
The
testimony
for
public
hearings
will
be
taken
at
the
time
of
the
public
hearing
and
general
public
comment
for
subjects
not
on
the
agenda
will
be
taken
later
in
the
evening
city
clerk.
Do
we
have
registered
speakers.
G
Good
evening
I'm
going
to
be
speaking
about
item
1d.
My
name
is
emilia
mahan,
I'm
a
social
worker
and
a
doctoral
student.
Abortion
is
healthcare,
and
healthcare
is
a
basic
human
right.
When
rights
are
taken
away,
it
is
groups
that
are
already
marginalized,
who
are
hurt
the
worst
as
a
society.
We
have
a
responsibility
to
ensure
that
all
people,
regardless
of
their
income
race
or
where
they
live,
have
equitable
access
to
health
care.
G
Health
care
decisions
are
very
personal
and
no
one
else
should
have
any
say
over
what
a
person
decides
to
do
with
his
or
her
own
body.
I'm
grateful
to
live
in
this
community
and
I
urge
you
to
make
a
clear
social
justice
statement
and
passed.
The
resolution
declaring
palm
springs
a
safe
city
for
reproductive
freedom.
Thank.
D
G
Hello
I'll
be
speaking
on
item
1d
as
well.
I
am
17
years
old
and
I
am
terrified
that
the
us
government
might
force
me
to
be
pregnant
in
my
lifetime.
I
have
grown
up
witnessing
the
impediments
to
my
sex,
the
exertion
of
control
being
chief
among
them.
Although
these
people
attempts
have
been
strategically
veiled
over
time
by
statements
like
you
can
be
whatever
you
want,
these
dogmas
take
on
a
sort
of
metamorphosis.
As
women
grow
up,
be
an
astronaut,
they
say
be
a
doctor,
be
a
hero,
be
a
good
girl,
be
mine.
G
Don't
talk
back
smile
now,
this
almighty
voice
of
the
patriarchy
wants
us
to
be
their
incubator.
A
dehumanized
piece
of
meat
for
the
sake
of
their
holy
eminence
religious
pluralism,
has
been
lost
in
the
dust
of
evangelical
interference
in
the
government.
Christian
american
politics
does
not
protect
or
represent
the
people.
It
represents
hypocrisy,
lying
and
bias.
G
It
represents
the
reality
that
a
ten-year-old
rape
victim
was
forced
to
leave
her
state
to
receive
proper
health
care.
Two
weeks
ago
we
are
coexisting
in
an
evil,
elitist,
barbaric
system.
One
has
been
flawed
since
its
conception,
land
of
the
free
for
who
cisgendered
heterosexual,
white
men
and
guns
home
of
the
brave
you
mean
the
pathetic
liars
in
the
supreme
court,
who
hide
from
their
actions
and
have
endangered
their
entire
country.
G
G
So
I'm
going
to
speak
on
the
vandalism
grant
d2.
My
name
is
daryl
baum.
I
my
partner
and
I
sam
cigar,
owned,
wabi-sabi
japan
living
about
almost
two
months
ago.
We
were
victims
of
assadesh
vandalism.
There
were
11
total
in
the
city
just
found
out
today
that
a
model
center
actually
had
two
that
were
not
reported.
G
So
it's
an
additional
two
for
this.
During
this
time
of
economic
downturn,
it's
important
for
the
city
to
step
in
and
help
us
out.
I
went
to
about
50
plus
businesses.
Over
the
weekend,
everybody
had
the
same
story
that
their
sales
are
down:
they're
hurting
20
to
40
percent
down
when
we're
choosing
between
a
paying
a
copay
for
insurance
or
paying
our
sce
bill
at
921
dollars,
which
just
came
in
we're:
gonna
pay
our
bills,
and
so
this
remains
a
blight
on
the
city.
These
all
these
windows.
It's
unfortunate
that
it
happened.
G
We
are
the
victims
of
it.
There's
been
a
lot
of
debate
on
social
media
after
posting
that
I
made
matt
robinson
made
a
recommendation.
She
said
this
should
be
looked
at
as
graffiti
that
it
should
fall
under
the
graffiti
program,
whether
that
can
happen
or
not.
What
we
would
like,
as
as
retailers
is
4
000
per
incident,
100
coverage,
because
again
I'm
I'm
I'm
going
to
choose
not
to
pay
the
thousand
dollar
deductible.
G
I
will
in
turn
pay
my
the
921
dollar
bill,
there's
also
a
discussion
as
far
as
like
businesses
on
individuals
saying
well,
you
should
go
ahead
and
just
use
your
insurance,
that's
what
it's
for,
as
we
use
our
insurance,
that
we
acquired
a
penalty
against
and
eventually
we
could
be
dropped
on
our
insurance.
So
there's
also
discussion
about.
Should
the
landlords
be
taking
care
of
this,
there's
no
defined,
there's,
no
definition,
landlords
pick
and
choose
what
they
want.
G
G
G
G
G
G
We
put
together
those
recommendations,
one
in
the
shadow
of
the
fbi
raid
and
the
allegations
of
corruption
here
at
city
hall,
right
and
so
part
of
that
conversation
around
compensation
was
tied
to
how
do
we
deter
corruption,
specifically
things
like
allegations
of
bribery
right,
the
other
things
for
you
to
know
and
I'm
running
out
of
time.
I
wish
I
had
separate
two
minutes
for
each
of
them,
but
really
you
know,
removing
barriers
to
run
is
one
component
right.
Another
component
is
supporting
diverse
individuals.
G
I
you.
I
urge
you
to
look
at
the
letter
from
kathy
wermick
that
provides
you
options
right,
in
particular
the
option
to
tie
compensation
to
media
and
income.
I
think
there's
an
opportunity
there
right
for
continued
discussion
around
low-wage
work
in
the
city
of
palm
springs
and
how
can
folks
on
this
diocese
sort
of
support
low-wage
workers
here.
So
thank
you.
O
You
may
remember
that
I
served
on
the
voter
registration,
I'm
sorry
voting
rights
working
group
and
we
made
the
recommendations
from
which
tonight's
agenda
item
3c
comes
got
a
excellent
report
of
the
your
staff.
We
have
it.
We
wrote
a
very
good
report
ourselves
by
the
way,
but
I
want
to
emphasize
what
it
talks
about
compensation.
O
O
Administrative
assistant
for
each
of
you
and
a
legal
assistant
for
the
to
be
served
among
you
for
to
be
shared
by
you,
but,
most
importantly,
your
salary
is
historic
and
and
is
way
out
of
time
and
life
you
get.
We
give
you
three
alternatives.
You
may
pick
a
different
one,
but
half
of
what
a
state
legislature
gets.
That
seems
fair.
O
The
p
the
palm
springs
median
income
that
seems
fair
or
the
minimum
for
exempt
worker.
Any
of
those
seems
fair.
You
serve
a
virtually
full-time
job
and
serving
in
this
role,
and
we
commend
you
for
it
and
we
thank
you
for
it,
but
so
serving
clearly
provides
an
impediment
to
your
earning
a
living.
Thank
you
very
much.
N
Hello,
my
name
is
brad
anderson.
I
currently
live
in
the
city
of
rancho
mirage.
I
wanted
to
speak
on
a
few
items
with
my
two
minutes:
the
urgency
clause
that
you
just
passed.
You
didn't
allow
public
comment
on
that
and
we
never
seen
the
letter
this.
That
type
of
urgency
should
probably
have
a
special
meeting
24-hour
notice
do
it
tomorrow,
because
there's
no
public
input,
no
public
aspect
to
that
whole
agenda
or
that
urgency
clause.
So
I
would
suggest
that
it's
already
passed.
N
I
can't
even
comment
on
it,
so
I
wanted
to
speak
on
item
1a.
This
is
the
initiation
of
ab361,
which
is
allowing
this
remote
meeting,
and
this
is
really
embarrassing.
If
I
knew
this
ahead
of
time,
I
would
have
came
tonight
to
talk
to
a
screen
this.
This.
This
law
allows
elected
fishers
and
appointed
officials
to
hide
from
the
public
venues.
High
is
probably
a
strong
word.
There
was
issues
that
you
said
that
there
was
possibly
a
covet
instead
at
city
hall.
N
This
law
is
being
misused,
it's
a
health
care
issue
and
it's
totally
being
misused.
So
I
I
would,
hopefully
you
can
suspend
from
doing
this
in
the
future
at
your
next
meeting.
Maybe
item
1c
appointments.
This
is
concerning
cvag,
the
contello
valley,
association,
governments,
x,
sector
committee
and
apparently
mr
mayor
will
be
appointed
versus
the
last
representative
of
the
city.
That's
a
great
thing:
that's
a
small
special
district
droid
festival
venture,
that's
really
limiting
public
participation,
public
testimony
and
free
speech
dislike
this
city.
We
had
a
speaker
before
I
wish.
N
B
N
We
all
can
agree
that
serving
on
a
palm
springs
city
council
must
be
accessible
to
all
citizens
of
our
diverse
community.
Unfortunately,
too
few
citizens
can
afford
to
serve
on
council
today.
The
only
residence
for
home
city
council
service
is
a
realistic
possibility,
are
those
who
are
retired
or
well-off
on
their
own
business
on
car
can
rely
upon
the
income
of
a
spouse
or
partner.
N
N
Increasing
the
pay
for
five
council
members
by
a
combined
total
of
165
000,
isn't
a
huge
public
expense
in
the
context
of
the
city's
466
million
budget.
In
fact,
it
represents
only
.035
of
the
city's
budget.
We
are
fortunate
to
have
such
hardworking
council
members
diligently
managing
so
many
complex
challenges
such
as
unique
neighborhoods
solution
for
the
homeless
crisis,
affordable
housing,
complicated
land
use,
concerns
social
equity
issues
and
boosting
the
local
economy.
So
new
tax
examiners
get
paid
for
a
fantastic
level
of
city
services.
N
These
obligations
for
our
city
council
member
require
more
than
a
full-time
job,
to
be
successful.
To
increase
the
effectiveness
of
a
council,
I'm
also
recommend
recommending
the
staff
assistance
be
hired
for
each
city
council,
member,
adding
the
cost
of
that
added
staff,
including
salary,
and
benefit
to
the
news.
Council
salaries
will
be
450
000
annually,
which
represents
0.009
of
city
budget.
B
B
E
E
I'm
asking
the
council
to
move
forward
with
increasing
the
city
council
members
salaries,
as
well
as
our
other
recommendations,
which
included
car
loans
and
daycare,
as
well
as
staffing
for
city
council
members.
Removing
barriers
to
service
on
the
palm
springs
city
council
was
one
of
our
key
priorities,
whether
defined
as
full-time
or
part-time
service.
On
your
the
council
now
takes,
makes
full-time
work
outside
of
city
council
impossible.
E
E
At
this
pay
rate,
this
salary
is
less
than
the
california
minimum
wage
of
31
200,
which
is
based
on
15
an
hour
once
rent
mortgage
utilities,
gas
and
other
expenses
are
calculated
in.
There
will
be
virtually
nothing
for
a
single
person
to
live
on,
let
alone
a
person
who
needs
resources
to
support
a
family.
E
Since
the
council
adopted
the
salary
ordinance
in
2007,
inflation
has
risen
at
least
32.9
percent
in
california,
and
possibly
higher
in
riverside
county.
We
have
where
we
have
the
highest
rate
of
inflation
in
the
country
at
9.4
percent,
but
our
salaries
have
remained
stagnant
because
of
the
formula
of
adjusting
the
city.
Council.
Salaries
is
tied
to
other
cities
who
have
lower
wages
and
that
and
and
therefore
have
kept
our
wages
low.
B
D
D
In
palm
springs,
and
also
the
kind
of
staff
assistance
that
I
think
is
necessary
for
this
role-
a
dedicated
administrative
assistant
for
each
member
of
city,
council
and,
finally,
child
care,
opportunities
or
resources,
so
that
city
council
members
who
have
kids
don't
have
that
as
a
limiting
factor
in
their
ability
to
serve.
I
think
these
are
really
urgent
priorities
and
I
thank
you
all
for
giving
me
a
chance
to
share
my
views.
Thanks
very
much.
B
D
You
good
evening,
council,
I'm
attorney
rachel
lakery.
I
represent
the
landowner
of
510
east
industrial
place
where
high-end
dispensary
operates
as
its
tenant.
My
client
only
received
notice
from
the
city
of
this
hearing.
A
few
days
ago,
I
received
a
copy
of
applicant's
application
at
noon
this
afternoon
from
the
city
planner.
D
D
D
The
city
has
open-ended
application
periods
with
generous
zoning
requirements,
and
a
huge
assortment
of
licenses
to
choose
from
the
distance
restrictions
are
greatly
more
favorable
than
the
vast
majority
of
most
california
cities.
My
point
is
this:
distance
restriction
must
not
be
eroded
further
to
the
detriment
of
my
client's
business.
D
More
importantly,
distance
restrictions
cannot
be
eroded
further
because
it
is
a
violation
of
law.
There
are
a
multiplicity
of
more
appropriate
locations
available
that
are
not
near
my
client's
property
and
do
not
violate
the
c
code.
I
contacted
the
owner
of
high
end
today
and
they
are
completely
unaware
of
this
outfit
trying
to
essentially
slip
in
their
back
door
to
compete.
D
I
understand
this
is
a
business
investment
of
over
two
million
dollars
that
my
clients
are
facing
to
their
dachshund.
Excuse
me
respectfully.
I
implore
the
council
not
to
prejudice
my
client
by
providing
exception
to
this
applicant.
I
implore
the
city
council
to
abide
by
the
code
requirements.
A
couple
of
other
side
notes
outreach.
D
No
outreach
was
done
by
this
applicant.
They
did
not
reach
out
to
my
client.
They
did
not
reach
out
to
the
operating
business.
They
are
not
being
above
board.
Another
fact
of
this
applicant
not
being
above
board,
is
a
reference
that
the
vacant
lot
is
a
blight
to
the
city.
That's
nonsense.
Currently,
this
location
has
a
huge
mural
art
installation
by
famed
artist,
john
cerny,
the
display
of
the
popsicles
art
over
12
foot
high
has
vast
amounts
of
media
attention.
It's
a
project
collaborated
with
palm
springs,
publix,
arts,
commission,
everybody
knows
about
it.
D
B
D
D
D
We
and
other
retailers
right
now
are
struggling
enough
with
the
high
concentration
of
dispensaries,
specifically
along
the
palm
canyon,
drive,
increase
in
operating
costs
and
taxes,
covet,
etc.
And
now,
after
having
invested
over
two
and
a
half
million
in
economic
value
into
the
community,
to
put
up
our
brand
new
dispensary,
we
are
going
to
experience.
D
Differentiation
is
important
in
the
cannabis
industry,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we
are
selling
cannabis
flour
and
that's
what
keeps
keeps
the
lights
on.
We
ask
that
you
decline
this
modification
on
the
grounds
that
it
is
too
close
to
our
dispensary
and
will
penalize
us
after
we've
already
made
a
significant
investment.
Thank
you.
B
D
D
D
B
D
Hi
good
evening,
mayor
and
council
members,
I
just
wanted
to
speak
to
item
the
item
on
the
agenda
regarding
increasing
the
salary
for
council
members.
I
think
it's
something
really
important
and
some
really
important
conversations
that
the
council
should
consider
a
few
thoughts
around
this.
I
think,
to
get
working
class.
D
D
I
did
see
in
the
staff
report
that
there
were
several
comments
or
possible
options
around
child
care
and
I
think
that's
definitely
very
notable
and
important,
but
I
think
that's
more
of
a
conversation
of
how
the
city
can
be
an
equitable,
fair,
enticing
employer
and
have
that
be
an
option
for
all
workers
and
employees
of
the
city,
but
not
necessarily
the
thing.
That's
going
to
be
driving
people
to
city
council
itself
and
given
that
recruitment,
for
so
many
empty
positions,
is
a
concern.
D
I
think
it's
a
noteworthy
endeavor,
but
I
don't
think
it's
necessarily
something
specific
to
the
council.
It's
something
the
city
should
consider
as
being
an
employer,
but
overall,
just
really
want
to
reiterate
that,
at
the
current
rate,
the
positions
on
city
council
are
truly
not
reflective
of
working-class
middle-class
residents
in
palm
springs.
B
D
D
D
I
know
we've
had
them
in
the
past
and
sort
of
fall
into
the
wayside,
but
it's
really
just
a
wonderful
way
to
express
you
know
commonality,
especially
with
our
beautiful
latina
community
here
in
palm
springs,
and
you
know
in
mexico
it
would
be
such
a
beautiful
partnership
and
I
was
looking
back.
You
know
they
always
say
president
eisenhower
when
he
developed
this
whole
mission.
D
So
I
I
really
support
that
and
it
sort
of
brought
up
an
idea
if
I
may
display
an
idea
here
would
be
to
think
about
the
idea
of-
and
I
know
we
talked
about
this
at
the
budget
meeting-
and
I
know
it's
a
very
long
stretch,
but
the
idea
of
having
our
airport
have
accustoms
that
we
could
have
people
flying
back
and
forth
between
the
sister
cities.
I
think,
would
just
create
such
a
great
buzz
for
the
city
and
for
our
economy
and
for
our
local
businesses
would
be
such
a
great
win.
D
B
D
Thank
you
good
evening,
council.
There
are
several
things
I'd
like
them
on
the
agenda
this
evening
that
I'd
like
to
comment
on
the
first,
of
course,
is
items
we
see
after
serving
14
years
on
the
city
council,
while
holding
a
full-time
job
at
a
much
lower
compensation
rate
than
the
current
council.
I
am
totally
in
favor
of
increased
compensation.
D
I
am
concerned,
however,
that
making
it
totally
full-time
position
would
somehow
limit
the
people
who
can
run
for
council.
I
would
not
have
been
able
to
run
for
council
norwood
many
of
my
fellow
former
council
members
who
were
employed
full-time
when
they
ran.
I
never
considered
a
job,
but
rather
a
service
to
the
community.
D
Several
cities,
larger
than
palm
springs,
have
lower
salaries
and
money
for
full-time
individual
staff,
members,
west
hollywood's,
a
perfect
example
where
each
council
member
gets
about
18
000
a
year
per,
but
each
one
has
a
full-time
staff.
Member
that
answers
calls
emails
etc
and
goes
to
meetings
for
them.
Additionally,
I'm
not
sure
where
the
arbitrary
52
000
came
from,
but
when
the
city
sets
salaries
for
other
departments,
it's
police,
fire,
etc.
We
hire
a
firm
that
compares
salaries
to
like
cities,
cities
that
have
an
airport
wastewater
treatment,
fire
police
convention
center,
etc.
D
D
Staff
total,
full-time
salaries,
child
care
which,
by
the
way
should
be
for
all
staff,
can
be
included,
but
salary
would
be
determined
by
the
third-party
firm
that
did
the
light
city
comparison
and
also
like,
and
so
I
so
I'm
really
in
favor
of
that.
But
I'd
also
like
to
comment
on
the
consent
calendar.
D
It's
a
tragedy,
even
in
2022,
50
years
after
those
of
us
in
my
age
range
thought,
we
had
truly
ensured
that
women
were
not
second-class
citizens
and
they
had
the
right
to
control
that
their
own
bodies
were
faced
with
a
supreme
court
that
takes
away
all
our
rights.
I
will
be
proud
to
live
in
a
city
declared
safe
for
reproductive
freedom.
So
I
urge
a
yes
on
d
and
a
big
yes
for
sister
city.
Thank
you
for
listening.
B
N
P
N
We
have
a
14-year
history
of
providing
economic
assistance
to
support
revitalization
of
the
city.
This
assistance
stimulates
private
investment
and
helps
to
prevent
blight
with
increased
reports
of
vandalism.
This
increase.
This
assistance,
provides
vital
support
to
a
significant
economic
engine
of
unique
retail
restaurants
and
bars
and
positively
impacts
locally
owned
businesses.
N
A
A
If
there
is
anyone
in
the
public
who
would
like
to
comment
on
the
urgency
item,
we
will
reopen
public
comment
to
provide
anyone
with
an
opportunity
to
provide
public
comment
on
that
urgency
item
and
again
we
will
re-vote
on
that
after
we
do
consent
and
after
we
do
item
1d
that
had
been
pulled
from
consent.
Thank
you
with
that
is.
I
will
entertain
a
motion
to
accept
the
consent
calendar
without
the
following
item
1d,
which
was
removed
for
separate
discussion.
Is
there
a
motion
so
moved?
C
B
D
M
Thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you
to
everyone
who's
there
in
person.
I
apologize
that
we
are
not
by
the
way
the
staff
members
that
had
exposure
to
covet
are
on
zoom
with
us,
and
we
thought
for
accessibility
and
just
ease
it's
better
to
all
beyond
zoom.
So
just
to
clarify
for
the
public
comment,
no
one
at
city
hall
is
intentionally
putting
anyone
in
harm's
way
with
covet
exposures,
but
it's
part
of
this
job.
So
thank
you
to
mayor,
middleton
and
mayor
pro
tem
grace
garner
for
supporting
adding
this
to
the
agenda.
M
Very
much
appreciate,
staff's
work
on
this
on
a
resolution
declaring
the
city
of
palm
springs,
a
safe
city
for
reproductive
freedom
and
access
to
abortion,
and
I
just
want
to
explain
for
the
public
and
for
my
colleagues
some
of
the
revisions
that
happened
and
you
see
in
your
packet
and
which
are
posted
online,
so
the
city.
Excuse
me,
the
county
of
san
diego
had
also
passed
a
resolution
declaring
their
county
to
be
safe
for
reproductive
freedom
and
access
to
abortion,
and
that
was
championed
by
super
supervisor,
nora
vargas.
M
Several
states
are
now
considering
legislation
that
would
go
beyond
banning
abortion
and
also
criminalize
patients
traveling
to
states
where
abortion
is
still
legal.
So
we
revised
the
original
resolution
to
explicitly
denounce
any
potential
investigations
that
could
result
from
such
legislation
and
make
explicit
the
city's
refusal
to
cooperate
with
any
such
investigation.
M
F
G
M
Thank
you.
Lieutenant
viegas
really
appreciate
that
statement
and
your
support.
So
with
this
resolution,
we
proudly
proclaim
that
abortion
is
health
care
and
health
care
is
a
human
right.
We
know
that
banning
abortion
doesn't
take
away
people's
need
to
access
abortion
care
patients
who
need
to
access.
Abortion
should
not
face
shame
and
overwhelming
hurdles
to
get
the
health
care.
They
need,
no
matter
where
in
this
country
they
may
live
or
which
state.
M
So
it's
more
than
ever
more
important
than
ever
for
states
and
local
jurisdictions
like
cities
to
stand
firmly
in
supporting
everyone's
right
to
decide.
If
and
when
to
start
a
family,
it's
crucial
for
the
city
of
palm
springs
to
serve
as
a
model
for
reproductive
freedom.
So
I'm
grateful
to
work
with
mayor.
Middleton
who's
been
a
strong
and
supportive
champion
for
reproductive
health
and
rights,
as
well
as
mayor
pro
tem
grace
garner
and
our
entire
city
council.
M
L
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
really
thank
council
member
hostage
both
for
bringing
this
forward,
but
your
work
on
the
board
of
planned
parenthood
and
you
know,
planned
parenthood
of
the
pacific
southwest
which
you
are
on
the
board
of,
goes
all
the
way
to
the
arizona
border.
So
we
are
the
closest
state
for
millions
of
women
to
have
access
to
abortion.
So,
in
addition
to
all
the
other
things
you
take
on
both
the
council
and
other
things
doing
that
work
is
so
important.
So
thank
you
and
the
other
council
members
for
bringing
this
forward.
M
Thank
you,
council
member
course.
I
appreciate
that
and
I
know
that
we
chatted
about
the
opportunity
with
tourism
and
hospitality,
which
you
are
the
liais
council's
liaison
for
your
work
with
the
greater
cbb
and
the
airport,
I'm
really
trying
to
connect
all
of
our
stakeholders,
because
we
know
people
are
going
to
be
flying
into
palm
springs
airport
and
accessing
a
ranch
mirage
health
center
or
throughout
the
coachella
valley,
or
this
region.
M
A
What
we
have,
what
those
in
my
generation
know
is
that
there
are
many
of
our
friends
back
in
the
days
before
row
was
decided
who
had
to
seek
back
alley
abortions.
Those
stories
reverberate
in
women
in
my
generation
now
here
we
are
50
years
later,
with
their
granddaughters
now
facing
the
kinds
of
hurdles
that
we
thought
we
had
overcome
is
an
absolute
tragedy.
B
A
L
A
R
A
good
evening,
madam
mayor
members
of
the
city
council,
joel
montalvo
engineering
services.
The
item
before
you
today
is
the
annual
requirement
to
continue
the
levying
9th
street
lighting
landscaping
and
parkway
maintenance
districts
june
16th.
The
city
council
adopted
a
resolution
to
preliminarily
improve
the
engineering
report
that
establishes
the
levees
and
also
to
declare
today's
public
hearing
in
accordance
with
the
streets
and
highway
code
of
the
state
of
california.
R
It
is
important
to
note
that
assessment
districts
3
the
crossley
track,
6a
fairpoint
development,
6c
part
sonora,
7,
sunrise,
norte
and
9
flora
vista
were
established
with
a
maximum
assessment
that
does
not
increase
with
the
consumer
price
index.
The
fees
collected
are
the
same
year
after
year,
and
the
services
provided
to
these
districts
reflect
the
amount
of
fees
collected
plus
any
additional
surplus
available.
R
Any
proposed
increase
in
the
levied
amount
would
require
a
special
election.
With
the
majority
vote
to
increase
the
assessment,
the
other
districts
were
established
after
the
passing
of
proposition
218
that
establishes
assessments
or
assessment
formulas
with
the
maximum
assessment
rate
based
on
the
consumer
price
index,
the
formulas
allow
for
adjustments
of
assessments
to
account
for
inflation,
as
costs
have
increased
associated
with
utilities,
street
lighting,
landscape
maintenance,
the
total
cost
incurred
by
the
city
or
maintenance
of
public
improvements.
R
Indeed,
special
district
has
at
times
exceeded
the
revenue
generated
generated
by
the
special
assessments
in
each
district,
costing
a
deficit.
In
those
cases,
services
are
reduced
accordingly.
To
ensure
overall
costs
do
not
exceed
assessment
revenues
received.
Conversely,
when
the
excess
revenues
generated
a
surplus,
the
city
reduces
the
maximum
amount
of
the
assessment
being
levied
in
the
specific
district.
The
intent
is
to
maintain
an
adequate
surplus
to
provide
the
required
services.
R
There
are
specific
times
when
an
unexpected
event
occurs,
that
staff
uses
additional
build
up
surplus
to
address
these
unexpected
events.
Staff
is
always
looking
to
balance
the
levies
with
actual
costs,
and
we
take
the
opportunity
to
reduce
levees
where
the
surplus
and
revenues
exceed
the
maintenance
of
effort.
This
concludes
my
report
and
I
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
C
Q
Q
Q
I
do
think
we
have
work
to
do
as
we
build
up
our
maintenance
team
in
better
quality
control,
better
tracking
of
the
kind
of
work
that
is
done
and
making
sure
that
the
scopes
of
work
are
also
sufficient.
For
instance,
if
the
contract
contemplates
maintaining
landscape
but
not
replacing
landscape,
you
know
how
do
we
deal
with
that
situation?
So
I
do
think
there's
room
for
improvement
and
I
would
see
if
our
assistant
city
manager
has
anything
to
add.
G
Thank
you.
As
the
city
manager
said,
we
do
work
with
conserve
care
and
they
do
the
maintenance
on
the
landscaping
districts
and
the
assessment
districts.
We
are
working
on
improving
our
work
order,
system
and
tracking
system.
If
there
are
areas
that
you
have
particular
questions
and
concerns
about,
for
example,
I
know
in
the
last
eight
months,
mayor
protegner,
you
brought.
O
G
Particular
metric
to
our
attention
and
we
were
able
to
go
in
and
see
that
there
were
some
reserves
so
that
we
could
address
some
of
the
community's
concerns
on
improving
the
the
landscaping
and
even
some
some
benches
and
amenities
that
could
be
part
of
the
landscaping.
So
if
they
are
brought
to
our
attention,
we
certainly
can
take
a
closer
look
at
any
areas
where
you
are
receiving
complaints
and
concerns.
And
overall,
as
the
city
manager
said,
we
are
working
with
conserve
care
to
make
sure
that
we
are
properly
maintaining
and
bouncing
the
budget.
G
J
R
J
J
So
when
we
renewed
that
contract,
I
have
brought
up
issues
with
the
quality
of
work,
very
inferior
quality
of
work,
the
residents
weren't
getting
what
they
paid
for,
and
we
that
message
was
supposed
to
go
back
to
conserve
care
so
that
we
got
a
better
product
when
we
renewed
that
contract.
And
how
is
that
going
to
what's
happening?.
J
J
I
can
tell
you
in
a
couple
of
cases
you
know
going
back
and
forth
with
staff
and
residents
to
try
and
get
a
simple
light
fix
whose
responsibility
is
not
knowing
who's
supposed
to
do
it,
and
it
leaves
residents
very
frustrated
and
as
well,
and
so
I
think
it's
incredibly
important
that
we
have
an
accounting
of
what's
going
on.
I
am
when
we
re,
I
I
hedged
when
we
approved
that
contract.
G
Absolutely
and
conserve
care
doesn't
do
the
light
replacements
unless
we,
you
know,
ask
them
to
do
that
as
additional
work,
and
there
are
some
mediums
where
we
have
had
some
vandalism
and
copper,
vet
and
accidents
that
have
caused
some
damage.
So
we
are,
we
are
working
through
that
and
I
know
there
has
been
an
order
put
on
for
replacement
plants
along
chocolates
the
mediums
there.
So
I
think
we're
we'll
be
seeing
some
improvements
in
those
areas.
Great.
A
A
A
Q
S
Good
evening,
I'm
madam
council,
I'm
jeffrey
bernstein,
founder
and
co-chair
of
the
palm
springs
sister
city
committee.
Just
as
a
brief
recap.
The
sister
city
committee
is
a
broad-based
long-term
partnership
between
two
communities
in
two
countries
designed
to
create
global
relationships
based
on
culture,
education,
information
and
trade
exchanges.
S
After
talking
to
different
stakeholders,
we
came
up
with
the
option
of
san
miguel
de
allende,
which
is
a
colonial
area
city
in
central
mexico,
about
four
hours
from
mexico
city.
Its
population
is
similar
to
ours
at
60
000,
with
an
area
population
of
140
000.,
there's
two
indigenous
populations
in
the
area.
It's
also
pretty
quite
young
city.
It
has
a
diverse
inclusive
area.
Same-Sex
marriage
is
legal
there,
it's
one
of
the
states
in
mexico,
and
also
it
has
a
history
where
it
was
a
city
that
was
an
epicenter
of
fighting
for
mexican
independence.
S
It's
also
rich
in
education
with
three
higher
education
institutions.
It's
the
unesco
world
heritage
site.
It
embraces
cuisine,
music
and
art.
There's
two
major
art
institutions:
there's
a
writer's
festival,
a
film
festival
like
our
area,
there's
many
celebrations
throughout
the
year.
Their
season
also
tends
to
be
opposite
of
ours
with
the
summer.
Is
the
high
season
a
couple
months
ago,
al
jones
and
and
had
a
conversation
who's
our
co-chair
with
the
mayor,
who
asked
that
we
secured
some
stakeholder
and
community
support
for
moving
forward
with
san
miguel?
S
And
we've
now
done
so
and
as
you
see
in
the
agenda,
we
have
support
from
key
representatives
from
the
hospitality
association
palm
springs.
Pride,
the
community
leadership
council,
the
bureau
of
tourism
main
street,
the
desert
business
association,
cvep
chamber
of
commerce,
visit,
greater
palm
springs
and
palm
beach
springs,
unified
school
district
foundation.
S
Our
vice
chair,
uber
loyola,
who
is
from
mexico,
reached
out
and
had
initial
informal
conversations
with
representatives
at
san
miguel,
who
have
indicated
that
they
would
be
receptive
to
an
invitation
from
our
mayor
and
our
city
to
be
a
sister
city.
And
now
my
my
my
co-chair
al
jones
will
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
details
of
this
process
and
specifically,
what
we're
asking
for
you
today.
R
Great,
I
hope
you
can
hear
me
all
right.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
present
to
you
this
evening.
I
know
you
have
a
long
agenda
and
we
promise
to
be
as
short
as
possible,
while
being
thorough.
At
the
same
time,
what
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
was
the
process
to
follow.
As
jeffrey
had
indicated,
the
representatives
in
san
miguel
de
allende
are
very
anxious
to
proceed
to
explore
this
an
opportunity
to
have
a
sister
city
relationship
with
us.
R
The
palm
springs
city
council
has
identified
this
in
in
this
process.
This
board
that
jeffrey
and
I
co-chair
and
hugo
is
the
vice
chair
and
we
have
other
representatives
but
we're
going
to
guide
the
partnership
in
the
early
stage,
so
we're
prepared
to
follow
through
with
that
responsibility
as
ward.
R
What
we
want
to
do,
ultimately,
is
have
a
sister
city
relationship,
but
this
is
really
an
invitation
for
the
first
step
to
kind
of
explore
the
opportunities
one
of
the
things
we
need
to
do
and,
and
quite
frankly,
san
miguel
has
sister
city
relationships
with
eight
other
cities.
We
will
ultimately
be
asked
to
contact
each
of
the
mayors
of
those
cities
for
their
permission
to
establish
a
relationship
and
according
to
our
membership
in
sister
city
international,
that
should
not
pose
a
problem,
but
you
don't
want
to
step
on
the
toes
of
other
established
programs.
R
As
I
say,
semi-gold
allende
has
been
very
clear
that
they're
very
anxious
to
proceed
with
us.
So
what
we're
asking
tonight
is
for
the
city
council
to
authorize
mayor
middleton,
to
sign
and
send
a
letter
of
intent
to
invite
to
invite
is
very
important
here,
san
miguel
de
allende,
to
establish
a
sister
city
relationship
with
palm
springs.
R
If
you
move
forward
with
that,
I
will
send
the
draft
letter
to
the
city
manager
tomorrow
for
review
and
for
whatever
process
to
follow
within
your
process
there.
The
draft
letter
actually
conforms
to
a
template
from
sister
city
international
and
of
which
we
are
a
member
and
outlines
very
clearly
our
intent
to
move
forward
and
and
and
really
to
make
a
commitment.
R
L
R
S
S
What
we
don't
have
the
answer
to
right
now
is
exactly
how
active
they
are
and
as
it
depends
on
each
city
and
what
to
do
so.
The
good
news
is
that
they
are
san.
Diego
is
well
versed
in
how
to
do
this
and
they
have
actually
a
sister
city
community
within
their
chamber
of
commerce
that
works
on
this
specifically,
so
I
think
of
anything.
It
would
actually
help
us
positively
in
the
sense
that
they
have
experience
that
we
could
learn
from.
L
Great,
I
appreciate
it
and
other
than
redlands.
It
sounds
like
they
really
don't
have
a
city
that
wants
diversity
actually
given
texas
and
florida.
So
on
that
level,
it's
good
and
then,
as
far
as
being
able
to
travel
there,
can
you
touch
on
that?
I
know
there
are
airports
closer
to
the
mexico
city
for
my
searches.
I
think
you
can
fly
relatively
closer
through
phoenix
or
dallas,
but
can
you
touch
on
that
as
well?.
R
Yes,
you
can
connect
with
just
one
change
of
flights,
whether
you
go
through
phoenix
or
whether
you
go
through
dallas,
and
there
are
two
airports
that
should
be
in
your
packet
of
information.
We
show
a
map
there
with
the
two
airports
that
are
about
an
hour
to
hour
and
a
half
from
san
miguel
de
allende,
and
there
are
two
and
it's
easy
to
tran
to
to
move
from
the
airport
there
with
transportation.
R
So
they're
not
located
right
adjacent
to
the
city,
necessarily
but
they're
about
an
hour
away,
and
it's
very
easy
to
get
there
with
just
one
stop,
and
that
was
one
of
the
considerations
that
the
committee
had
was.
We
really
wanted
to
find
a
locale
where
there
was
just
a
really
a
one
change
of
plane
at
maximum.
J
R
Yeah,
what
we've
actually
done
their
number,
in
fact
they
actually
joined
us
in
our
meetings,
too.
We
have
several
residents
who
have
homes
in
san
miguel,
and
so
we've
asked
them
actually
in
a
conversation
this
morning
with
our
committee
meeting,
if
in
fact
that
they
would
start
to
put
together
that
list
and
so
that
we
can
share
and
bring
them
together
in
terms
of
some
additional
support
and
programming.
C
M
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
Thank
you
to
jeffrey
and
al.
I
know
you've
been
working
on
this
every
day
feels
like
a
year,
probably
over
a
year
and
a
half
two
years
right,
a
very
long
time,
and
you
two
first
approached
me
and
council
member
coors,
and
we
had
a
meeting
with
your
initial
committee
and
you've
done
really
incredible
work
and
brought
together
a
good
group
of
folks
to
make
this
recommendation.
So
thank
you
for
really
spearheading
this
and
making
this
happen
for
the
city
of
palm
springs.
M
I
think
really
appreciate
that
initiative
to
see
see,
see
an
opportunity
and
then
do
the
work
and
make
it
happen
for
our
residents.
I
think
that
we
should
applaud
you
for
that.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
and
and
then
I
just
have
a
question
about
tourism
and
and
destinations
and
how
the
sister
city
will
sort
of
benefit
our
city
and
what
that
exchange
might
be.
S
A
lot
of
it
depends
on
what
the
events
are
so
cathedral
city,
for
example.
They
are
sister
cities
with
a
lisco
and
they
do
taste
of
jalisco
festival
every
year.
So
you
can
create
certain.
You
know
events
to
do
that.
I
have
the
feeling
that
ours
will
also
be
driven
by
other
types.
I
know,
rhonda
hart
from
pride
has
talked
about
sending
contingencies
to
each
city
for
their
pride
festival,
which
they
do
have
as
well
as
for
ours.
S
You
know
we
would
look
at
both
the
restaurant
industry
as
well,
because
they
have
an
interesting
cuisine
and
we
obviously
have
a
vibrant
restaurant
industry
so
and
and
then
the
festivals,
so
they
have
about
300,
different
festivals
and
events
a
year
as
as
do
we
probably,
and
so
those
also
tend
to
drive
tourism.
So
it
tends
to
be
more
specific.
M
Thank
you.
I
think
those
are
really
exciting
cultural
opportunities
for
our
residents
too.
So
I
appreciate
you
picking
a
city
in
mexico.
I
think
that's
really
important
to
our
residents.
We
hear
that
you
know
lots
of
folks
go
back
and
forth
and
travel
in
between
the
two
countries
in
the
state.
So
I'm
excited
for
that
and
the
opportunity
for
increasing
the
the
community
here
and
all
the
opportunities
that
a
sister
city
could
provide.
So
thank
you
to
al
and
jeffrey
and
your
whole
committee
for
all
this
work.
A
A
Right
and
I
suspected
that
was
the
answer.
Actually
I
knew
it
was
going
to
be
the
answer,
but
I
wanted
to
get
it
on
the
public
record.
So
thank
you,
my
compliments
to
both
of
you
and
to
everyone
on
the
committee.
This
is
a
wonderful
opportunity
for
us
to
increase
cultural
diversity
and
cultural
connections
across
our
border
and
that's
something
that
in
this
day
and
age
we
need
much
more
of
and
and
not
the
other.
A
R
B
R
A
P
P
P
The
applicant
has
submitted
an
application
for
an
adult
use
cannabis
permit
to
the
department
of
special
program
compliance.
However,
no
action
has
been
taken
on
the
application,
as
the
waiver
is
necessary
before
we
begin
work
on
that
application
in
terms
of
the
distance
separation
from
other
dispensaries.
P
The
next
one
is
iconic
farms
or
high-end,
it's
located
at
510
industrial
place,
and
so
it's
around
the
corner
and
not
on
the
same
street
as
the
proposed
application.
And
then
the
third
is
about
300
feet
away.
It's
psa
organica,
which
is
on
the
north
side
or
the
opposite
side
of
the
street.
From
a
proposed
application,
so
those
are
the
three
dispensaries
that
are
within
500
feet.
P
P
In
terms
of
the
findings
that
are
necessary
for
the
administrative
minor
modification
for
the
distance
separation,
the
first
are
as
follows:
number
one
is
relative
to
consistency
with
the
city's
zoning
code
and
general
plan.
We
do
find
it
to
be
generally
consistent
with
both.
However,
this
may
result
in
a
saturation
of
cannabis
businesses
and
for
that
reason,
separation,
distance
requirements
are
in
the
zoning
code.
P
P
The
proposed
business
would
be
open
until
12
midnight
staff
does
have
a
concern
that
there
might
be
noise
in
the
parking
lot
that
may
disturb
those
residential
properties,
as
we
do
see
from
a
bar
which
is
across
the
street,
also
relatively
adjacent
to
the
residential
area,
and
we
do
get
occasional
complaints
from
those
events
at
that.
Bar
third
is
relative
to
detriment
to
general
health
and
safety.
P
P
In
addition
to
those
four
criteria
that
are
identified
in
chapter
94
of
our
zoning
code,
city
council
has
also
adopted
optional
criteria
that
may
be
taken
into
consideration
relative
to
these
distance
waivers.
They
are
as
follows.
The
first
two
are
relative
to
the
business
being
located
in
either
an
existing
blighted
building
or
a
tenant
space
that
is
difficult
to
rent
or
has
been
vacant
for
several
years,
because
this
is
a
vacant
parcel.
Those
two
criteria
don't
necessarily
apply.
P
P
P
P
P
P
L
Great
thank
you
for
the
presentation,
so
in
your
interpretation,
which
I
think
I'm
understanding
is,
this
doesn't
fit
sort
of
the
unrentable
building
exemption,
but
in
some
ways
it's
similar
in
that
it's
a
undeveloped
lot
right.
So
just
what
are
your
thoughts?
Obviously
we
didn't
think
about.
I
don't
think
we
discussed
undeveloped
lots
when
we
thought
about
what
would
qualify
as
an
exemption,
and
so
I
just
want
to
get
your
sense
on
how
this
undeveloped
lot
could
impact.
L
P
Is
the
question
in
your
mind
yeah?
Certainly
it
wasn't
something
that
we
contemplated
when
we
developed
the
optional
criteria
in
terms
of
comparing
it
with
a
blighted
building
or
a
tenant
space
that
is
unrentable.
We
have
similar
concerns.
You
could
say
in
that
vacant
properties
or
undeveloped
properties
sometimes
appear
to
be
blighted
or
an
attractive
nuisance,
and
so
in
those
situations,
certainly,
we
would
prefer
to
see
a
building
constructed
on
the
property.
P
As
I
had
mentioned,
with
the
construction
of
the
building,
we
would
have
a
continuation
of
a
public
sidewalk.
We
have
proven
gutter
and
other
things
that
help
in
removing
blighted
conditions,
and
so
I
would
say
that
it
is
similar,
although
it
wasn't
identified
as
one
of
the
conditions
for
the
optional
criteria
to
consider.
Okay,
thank.
L
P
A
A
T
Well,
thank
you
mayor
for
the
question
and
thank
you
city
council,
for
letting
us
present
to
you
right
now.
The
fact
was
the
property
was
purchased
with
you
know
there
were
only
a
few
areas
of
the
city
that
were
kind
of
zoned
appropriately
and
the
my
clients,
the
applicants
when
they
originally
purchased
the
property
three
years
ago
and
put
the
application
in
prior
to
the
zoning
order.
I
think
his
ordinance
2000
2007,
which
established
the
500
foot
buffer
zone
requirement.
T
You
know
they
thought
they
were
gonna,
be
part
of
a
little
cannabis
district.
You
know
that's
that's
kind
of
how
they
saw
the
development,
the
retail
development
of
that
area,
and
you
know
they
they
knew
the
uranus
retail
district
was
kind
of
in
question
because
of
the
tribal
lease
coming
up,
and
they
just
thought
you
know
what
we're
going
to
buy
this
property
and
we're
going
to
try
and
build
something
beautiful.
I
mean
that
that
lot's
been
vacant
since
1938
when
the
city
incorporated.
T
So
I
mean
it's
gonna,
look
very
similar
to
some
of
the
other
stuff.
That's
already
over
there,
so
yeah
I
mean
that
was
the
reasoning
behind
it
and
then,
after
the
zoning
change
happened
happened,
then
you
know
they
were
waiting
their
approval
from
the
department
of
special
compliance,
and
you
know
here
we
are
three
years
later
right.
A
T
No,
that
was
kind
of
like
I
think,
an
initial
vision
that
they
had
had
once
upon
a
time.
You
know
just
just
looking
at
the
zoning
and
knowing
how
land
tends
to
develop.
You
know
it
used
to
be
an
industrial
area
with
lumber,
mills
and
automotive
and
now
look
at
it.
You
know
people
want
to
be
there.
They
want
to
get
bagels.
It's
nice.
T
T
You
know
asked
them
if
they
could
go
ahead
and
put
an
installation
there.
You
know
that
was
always
intended
by
the
city
commission
to
be
a
temporary
art
installation.
You
know,
and
we
renewed
it
a
couple
of
times.
I
guess
and
another
six
months
is
gonna
be
there,
but
I
don't
think
you
know
it
was
never
gonna
be
permanent,
but
that
that
land's
still
gonna
be
land.
T
L
L
P
L
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
way
to
check
it
before
we
vote,
because
that's
probably
highly
relevant
to
me
if
someone
acted
based
on
what
the
code
was
at
the
time
versus
after
right.
That
would
be
relevant.
I
don't
know
if
that's
find
out,
it
will
be
for
the
end
of
our
meeting,
but
that
would
be
helpful
information.
P
I'll
try
and
do
that.
I
can
tell
you
this,
based
on
the
distance
waiver
application
that
we
processed
for
flower
company,
which
is
immediately
next
door
in
that
application.
We
had
indicated
in
our
materials
that
an
application
was
in
process
for
605
east
sunny
dunes,
but
had
not
been
or
not
come
forward
to
city
council
yet
for
the
distance
labor.
P
C
Thank
you,
yeah.
My
line
of
thinking
was
the
same
as
council
member
coors
as
it
stands
with
the
information
that's
before
us,
I'm
not
in
whether
or
not
the
land
and
this
property,
and
this
application
were
submitted
before
we
put
in
those
waivers,
is
highly
relevant
because
otherwise
I
don't
see
than
the
need
for
a
waiver
in
this
particular
instance.
C
J
A
I
know
flynn's
doing
some
research.
My
comments
are
almost
identical,
if
not
identical
to
those
of
mayor
pratham
garner.
If
there
was
a
purchase
of
the
property
with
an
expectation
nurtured
by
the
city,
that
this
would
be
permitted,
and
then
we
made
the
change
that
that's
a
very
relevant
fact.
Otherwise,
I
would
struggle
to
be
able
to
approve
this
waiver.
T
A
P
L
Great
thank
you
for
for
getting
us
that
I
think
that's
really
helpful,
and
so
you
know
I
think,
given
that
I
am
supportive
of
this.
I
do
want
to
make
one
comment.
That's
sort
of
related,
though,
is
because
you
know
we
heard
from
another
business
that
you
know
competition
is,
you
know,
impacting
their
business,
even
competition
from
plum
canyon.
Here
and
you
know
that
happens
with
businesses
right
and
we
don't
have
a
distance
waiver
and
a
limit
on
the
number
of
bars
or
liquor
licenses.
L
I
mean
we
are
so
many
more
liquor
licenses
in
the
census
tract
that
includes
our
downtown
than
is
bottom.
You
know
by
right
and
we
always
approve
approve
them,
so
I've
mixed
feelings
on
even
the
rules
we
have
now
with
the
distance
requirement.
But
those
are
the
rules
and
I
you
know
I
will
follow
them,
but
in
this
case
given
this
was
in
first,
as
we've
done
in
the
past,
I
will
move
approval.
J
You
ryan,
so
if
it
has
been
brought
out
that
they
applied
and
then
we
changed
the
rules
halfway
through
before
the
application
process,
and
I
think
in
many
cases
I
could
be
wrong
that,
like,
if
you
apply
for
a
building,
permit
you
go
by
the
code.
That
was
at
the
time
that
you
applied
what
happens
in
a
situation
like
this.
Is
there
any
legal
thing
where
they
would
be
entitled
to
an
approval
with
or
not.
F
J
Great
and
that,
thank
you
and
then
there
a
question
for
flynn
when
we
adopted
the
distance
paper.
If
I
remember
correctly,
of
course,
this
is
post
when
the
applicant
applied,
but
the
purpose
of
the
distance
waiver
was
to
to
do
what
I
know.
One
of
the
things
was
to
take
vacant
buildings
and
trying
to
activate
those
buildings.
But
what
was
the
real
intent
of
the
distance
waiver.
P
There
were
concerns
about
dispensaries
being
located
too
close
to
each
other
and
that
we
were
starting
to
see
issues
of
saturation
in
certain
areas
and
so
based
on
community
concern
in
part
and
also
the
desire
to
avoid
separate
saturation
issues.
I
believe
those
were
the
reasons
why
the
separation
distances
were
adopted.
P
However,
as
I've
indicated,
city
council
also
did
provide
a
mechanism
for
a
waiver
from
those
distance
separation
requirements.
Just
in
going
to
your
previous
question
to
mr
geboa,
just
offering
a
little
bit
of
historical
perspective,
we
did
have
a
number
of
applications
that
had
been
submitted
prior
to
the
adoption
of
distance
waiver
requirements.
P
N
J
P
To
a
certain
degree,
it
could
be
considered
subjective
how
we've
defined
it
in
our
code
is
through
a
couple
of
different
ways.
Number
one
500
feet
is
one
of
the
things
that
we
identify
as
being
a
condition
of
saturation,
if
you
will,
when
you
have
more
than
one
within
a
500
foot
radius
of
each
other.
P
The
second
test
that
we
have
applied
to
this
is
in
the
optional
criteria
that
city
council
adopted
by
resolution,
and
that
is
having
two
within
the
same
block
face
so
on
the
same
side
of
the
street
in
the
same
block.
So
those
are
two
of
the
tests
that
the
city
has
established
as
the
means
to
determine
if
they're,
saturation
or
not
again,
city
council
does
have
the
ability
to
make
a
subjective
determination
if
there
will
be
impacts
based
on
a
separation,
distance
waiver.
J
And
thinking
in
this
case,
you
know
we're
not
on
the
main
drag.
You
know
we're
not
on
main
street
per
se,
where
I
think
we've
heard
from
the
public,
they
don't
want
every
other
store
to
be
a
cannabis
store.
This
seems
to
be
a
little
bit
different.
Can
you
provide
any
perspective
that
your
department
has
worked
within
something
like
what
we're
looking
at
tonight.
P
A
P
of
those
there
were
I'd,
say
three
or
four
that
were
denied
and
approximately
seven
or
eight
that
were
approved.
The
city
council
considered
those
on
a
case-by-case
basis.
Looking
at
the
context
of
the
proposed
business,
the
surrounding
uses
and
proximity
to
other
cannabis
dispensaries,
and
so
again
it
was
on
a
case-by-case
consideration.
Looking
at
the
specific
conditions
of
each
proposed
location.
T
One
well
before
when
we
had
submitted
the
application,
the
what
is
it
the
the
dispensary
right
next
door?
I
think
our
application
actually
predated
their
application.
They
weren't
even
there.
It
was
a
pet.
It
was
like
a
pet
store
back
then,
and
the
the
other
dispensary
lounge
that
just
opened
was
a
high-end
iconic.
T
They,
you
know
it
was
still.
It
still
looked
like
that
original
strip
club
that
they
were
trying
to
revive
into
what
it
is
now
and
then
psa
organica.
They
don't
have
a
lounge
so
for
the
app
for
my
clients,
they
they
just
saw
the
opportunity
to
put
in
a
little
cafe
lounge
in
that
location,
and
there
was
no.
There
was
no
competition
at
that
time.
T
So
that's
everything
kind
of
all
happened
at
once
and
now
you
know
we're
we're
now
and
going
through
this
process,
which
wasn't
required
way
back
when
so
and
then
you
know,
pandemic
happened,
slowed
everything
down,
and
so
that's
I
mean
things
changed
very
quickly
and
very
slowly.
At
the
same
time,
it
was
just
a
interesting
situation,
which
is
why
you
know
we.
We
think
that
we're
we
we're
hoping
that
the
the
council
will
approve
our
our
request.
M
M
Did
you
just
say
that
this
problem
is
fixed
for
us
that
there's
still
this
batch
of
applicants
who
sort
of
were
in
the
hopper
already
moving
forward,
where
we
have
this
separation
requirement,
but
a
waiver-
and
you
know
it
comes
to
us
city
council,
very,
very
late,
where
they've
already
invested
potentially
millions
of
dollars
in
a
business
and
sometimes
on
reliance
of
the
city
and
city
staffs.
You
know
assurances.
M
I
know,
city
staff
never
makes
assurances.
Policy
can
always
change,
but
from
like
a
fairness
perspective,
I
always
feel
for
these
businesses.
I
mean
it's
just
really
hard
to
not
grant
a
waiver
in
this
circumstance,
and
so
I
keep,
I
think,
since
2017
have
been
yelling
about
this
process
being
broken,
because
it's
in
the
wrong
order-
and
I
do
think
our
residents
are
saying
you
know
how
many
cannabis
facilities
are
enough
or
too
much
and
we're
concerned
about
saturation.
M
So
so
can
you
flynn
remind
me
sort
of,
I
know
that
there's
been
some
fixes
and
we
had
fixed
the
separation
waiver
to
require
certain
have
more
standards.
But
can
you
just
explain
to
me?
Do
we
need
more
policy
fixes
to
stop
this
from
going
in
this
order,
or
you
know
what
should
we
know
about
the
process
moving
forward,
especially
for
this
application.
P
So
from
that
perspective,
this
is
probably
one
of
the
last
of
these
kind
of
applications
that
you'll
see
for
a
distance
waiver.
That's
not
to
say
that
you
won't
receive
applications
for
a
distance
waiver
in
the
future.
However,
applicants
will
no
longer
have
the
app
the
argument
that
they
submitted
their
application
prior
to
the
change
in
regulation.
So
again,
this
is
one
of
those
legacy
applications
and
I
don't
anticipate
that
we'll
have
others
in
the
near
future.
M
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
and
sorry
to
make
you
repeat
yourself.
I
did
have
a
toddler
who
was
sitting
on
my
lap
and
screaming
in
my
ear
for
a
portion
of
that.
So
I
apologize,
but
the
the
order
of
operations
to
start
a
cannabis
business
in
the
city
of
palm
springs.
That
order
will
remain
right
and
so
won't
that
then
still
create
reliance
issues
for
the
city
to
say.
Oh,
you
know
I
applied.
I
I
mean
I
I
already
had
a
you
know,
permit
et
cetera,
xyz
approvals
and
then
now
I
need
this.
P
That
process
has
changed
and
been
corrected.
I
had
indicated
that
the
application
was
received
by
the
department
of
special
programs,
but
they
didn't
process
it
and
wouldn't
process
it
until
after
a
waiver
is
approved,
and
so
that
requirement
has
already
been
instituted.
So
we
don't
process
applications
until
the
waiver
is
approved
so
that
people
aren't
investing
money
in
a
business
that
still
has
yet
to
go
to
city
council.
M
But
you
know
hearing
that
the
applicant
relied
on
the
city
and
the
city
council
at
the
time
and
applied,
and
it
was
allowed
at
the
time
that
the
you
know
the
way
that
the
law
was
written
before
those
additional
requirements,
I'm
I
you
know.
I
I
have
a
hard
time
on
this,
I'm
on
the
fence,
but
I
would
err
on
the
side
of
reliance
that
they
were
lied
to
and
to
build
up
their
business
thinking
that
it
would
be
approved.
M
I'll
also
say,
I
think
that
there's
a
public
policy
benefit
or
city
benefit
to
have
ground
up
construction.
This
is
a
site
that
has
been
vacant,
and
you
know
I'd
love
to
see
more
infill
development
of
all
kinds,
not
just
cannabis
businesses.
It
seems
like
this
might
be
the
one
that
pencils.
I
do
see
that
as
a
benefit-
and
you
know
the
market
will
bear
what
the
market
will
bear,
and
you
know
some
of
these
businesses.
You
know
if
there's
too
much
competition
they'll,
know
that
and
feel
that.
M
A
For
any
further
discussion,
well,
let
me
add
that
I've
gone
back
and
forth
on
this,
as
the
conversation
is
weighed,
but
I
am
persuaded
that
there's
not
just
simply
one,
but
there
are
three
other
three
cannabis
facilities
that
are
within
500
feet
of
this
facility
and
as
much
as
I
would
like
to
see
that
vacant
lot
filled
in
I'm
going
to
reluctantly
vote.
No,
there
is
simply
no
way
I
would
have
voted
yes
if
they
were
to
be
applying
now.
A
J
J
It's
difficult
because
I
think
it's
it's
a
vacant
lot
right
and
that's
the
difficult
part
for
me.
If
we
had
a
vacant
building
which
there
there
may
or
may
not
be
some
that
are
still
over
there,
I
might
be
much
more
amenable.
The
vacant
lot
on
you're
gonna
have
to
go
through
a
lot
of
process,
yet
with
architectural
review
and
planning
commission
everything
else
to
make
that
you
know
really
really
quite
a
spectacular
place.
J
I
would
hope,
but
you
know
we've,
you
know,
I
guess
the
free
market
is
fine,
free
market,
it's
not
on
our
main
street,
I'm
still
torn.
I
don't
I
I
feel
for
you.
I
really
really
really
do
and
I'm
really
not
sure
how
to
do
this,
because
we
are
really
getting
a
lot
of
pushback
about
a
lot
of
too
much
cannabis
in
our
town.
What
is
too
much
is
different
people's
perspective.
Maybe
we
don't
have
enough,
but
it's
a
very
difficult
decision
for
me.
C
C
I
think
that's
really
important
and
and
also
the
streamlining
the
process
so
that
it
doesn't
take
this
long
right
to
get
through,
and
I
understand
that
that's
not
just
the
city
process,
it's
also
the
applicant
taking
delays
as
well,
but
this
is
quite
a
long
time
before
before
we're
reviewing
the
waiver,
but
that
said,
I
do
think
that
he,
the
the
company,
submitted
their
waiver
prior
to
our
waiver
ordinance
being
passed.
I
realized
that
was
the
day
that
dennis-
and
I
were
sworn
in.
M
Thank
you
mayor,
sorry
that
flagged
for
me
flynn.
That
was
really
what
I
was
trying
to
get
at
when
I
was
asking
you
questions
that
you
had
someone
already
answered,
but
it's
just
the
timeline
and
how
long
it
takes
for
these
to
get
to
us,
because
then
there
is
so
much
reliance
right.
Then
we
have
three
years
plus
I
know
it's
the
pandemic,
but
still
we
had
you
know
years
worth
of
reliance.
That
then,
is
difficult.
Looking
at
you
know
weighing
the
pros
and
the
cons
or
the
costs
and
the
benefits.
P
I
think
you
already
have
in
terms
of
putting
a
limit
time
limit
on
applications
that
are
submitted,
that
don't
move
forward
again.
This
is
one
of
those
legacy
applications
that
we,
as
staff,
are
still
dealing
with.
To
put
it
into
perspective.
As
I've
indicated,
the
application
was
submitted
to
the
department
of
special
program
compliance
in
october
of
2019.
P
However,
they
did
not
submit
their
administrative
minor
modification
application
until
early
this
year.
I
believe
it
was
in
january
that
that
was
submitted,
so
staff
could
not
take
any
action
until
the
amm
or
administrative
minor
modification
application
was
submitted,
and
we
brought
that
to
you
as
quickly
as
we
could.
M
D
N
B
D
A
N
Mirage,
my
name
is
brad
anderson.
I
currently
live
in
the
city
ranch
mirage.
I
just
wanted
to
for
the
record,
I'm
the
only
person
from
the
public.
We
have
the
clerk
and
law
enforcement
officer
here
in
this
massive
chambers
so
anyway,
and
I'm
I'm
alluding
to
this
because
transparency
with
the
city
and
actually
how
ethically
the
city
is
maintained,
iran
and
the
reason
well,
I'm
going
to
just
go
in.
I
noticed
on
the
agenda.
N
You
had
four
or
five
presentations
this
evening
and
the
reason
I'm
bringing
that
up
is
because
it's
not
on
the
agenda.
I
see
presentations,
but
I
have
no
other
information
concerning
that
so
and
and
and
this
kind
of
leads
into
your
urgency
clause
concerning
a
letter
for
a
health
care
issue,
that's
outside
the
realm
of
the
city
and
then
you
voted
on
it
without
any
public
input.
This
letter
is
non-existence
to
this
point.
N
I'm
sure
many
of
the
members
of
the
public
would
maybe
disagree
with
this
letter
and
they
have
no
say
in
this
voice.
So
that's
that's
an
aspect,
but
I
noticed
this
the
items
I
wanted
to
talk
on
this
evening.
There
were
three
or
four
that
I
was
eliminated
and
reduced
from
talking
because
of
your
allotment
time
of
two
minutes
for
the
o
agenda,
and
I
understand
that's
how
you
run
your
city,
but
but
your
influence
is
a
hit
sea,
vague
and
the
vector
control,
and
why
I'm
talking
about
the
coachella
valley,
vector
control
district?
N
They
had
a
presentation
earlier
that
I
wasn't
aware
of.
I
seen
it
where
they're
going
to
do
some
area,
not
aerial
but
ground,
frogging
for
mosquitoes
the
idea
chip
dies
or
when
they're
targeting,
but
as
homeowners,
you
can
opt
out
of
that
and
you
should,
because
this
chemical
use
is
not
even
based
in
science.
There's
no
statistic
for
this
brain.
Thank
you.
B
E
Mayor
middleton
mayor
pro
tem,
garner
and
honorable
city
council
members,
my
name's
kathy
wormick.
My
comments
are
in
response
to
learning
that
the
largest
building
in
the
future
navigation
center
will
currently
not
be
included
in
the
design
and
renovations
under
the
state
grant
for
the
future
center,
and
that
seems
like
a
reasonable
decision
given
time.
E
But
I
want
to
ask
you
to
utilize
some
of
the
10
million
dollars
you've
set
aside
for
affordable
housing
for
this
building
and
to
pursue
the
design
concurrently
with
the
other
building,
so
that
you
will
be
able
to
either
help
fund
it
or
to
apply
for
funds.
Other
funds
that
are
available
and
just
as
an
aside,
there
was
an
article
in
the
la
times
that
the
state
mental
health
program
prop
63.
E
Is
there
the
state's
contemplating
that
again
being
available
for
housing
for
the
homeless
mentally
ill?
It
might
be
a
perfect
program
to
apply
for,
and
I'm
sure
there
are
other
programs
that
we
could
utilize.
But
I
don't
think
we
should
just
leave
that
building
and
not
pursue
the
design
on
it
and
work
work
concurrently
with
the
state
grant
with
our
funds
to
make
sure
that
the
building
gets
built
close
to
the
same
time,
the
other
parts
of
the
building
are
open
to
the
public.
Thank
you
very
much
for
taking
my
comments.
A
Q
Good
evening,
madam
mayor
and
council,
as
you
heard
in
some
public
comments
earlier
in
2018
city
council,
created
a
community
working
group
to
help
align
city
policies
and
practices
with
the
california
voting
rights
act.
One
of
their
primary
tasks
was
to
help
the
city
transition
to
district-wide
council
seats
and
elections,
but
they
also
had
a
number
of
other
recommendations.
Q
The
focus
of
this
evening's
conversation
is
around
their
recommendations
regarding
re,
removing
or
reducing
barriers
to
run
for
city
council
and
to
hold
city
council.
There
are
a
number
of
recommendations
included
in
the
report
and
we've
attached
those
to
the
staff
report
for
your
reference,
but
really
we're
going
to
focus
this
evening.
Unless
council
wants
to
expand
this
on
four
items,
so
those
are
one
council
salary.
Q
So,
in
terms
of
the
staffing
and
the
vehicle
allowance,
those
are
fairly
straightforward
to
implement.
We've
had
a
conversation
about
staffing
to
some
extent
already
in
the
last
two
budget
cycles,
but
the
approach
thus
far
has
been
less
robust
than
the
one
recommended
by
the
cvra
working
group,
but
in
any
respect
those
are
relatively
straightforward
and
easy
to
implement
the
salaries
and
the
child
care
are
a
little
bit
more
complex,
so
included
in
the
staff
report
is
just
a
number
of
considerations
or
questions
I'll
cover
some
of
those.
Q
Now,
as
you
go
into
discussion
with
regard
to
salary,
firstly,
there's
the
question
of
how
would
it
be
implemented?
You
heard
reference
during
public
comment:
the
possibility
of
council
action
or
the
possibility
of
referring
this
to
voters
to
deal
with
it
through
the
ballot.
You
also
have
the
question
of
whether
or
not
compensation
would
either
require
or
suggest,
full-time
versus
part-time
work
and,
as
was
pointed
out
on
one
hand,
full-time
salary
seems
to
be
effective
at
reducing
the
barrier
of
compensation
generally
right
if
you're
paid
full
time.
Q
You're
able
to
you
know
not
have
other
employment
to
pay
the
bills.
If
that's
your
situation,
but
it
was
also
pointed
out
that
full-time
can
be
a
different
kind
of
barrier
to
participation
for
those
who
are
either
on
a
career
track
or
simply
want
to
maintain
their
employment.
So
that's
a
consideration.
Q
It's
been
brought
up.
You
would
need
to
determine
some
way
of
establishing
the
compensation,
so
that
could
be
based
on
formula
a
couple
were
suggested
by
the
cvra
working
group
and
some
repeated
this
evening.
It
could
be
tied
to
pay
for
state
legislators.
It
could
be
tied
to
median
income
or
any
number
of
other
indicators,
or
it
could
be
something
more
market-based,
that's
reviewed
periodically
if
it's
market-based.
Of
course,
you
might
also
have
to
deal
with
who
actually
sets
those
rates.
Q
I
would
only
suggest
that
you
may
want
to
consider,
especially
in
that
full-time
versus
part-time,
how
roles
and
responsibilities
could
be
completed
or
how
to
keep
them
clear.
If
compensation
were
to
suggest
you
know
more
participation
and
more
hours
invested
by
council
members
and
then,
lastly,
of
course,
to
consider
community
support.
Q
I
think
a
lot
of
communities
have
reached
the
conclusion
that
low
salary
really
is
a
substantial
barrier
to
access,
but
that
can
sometimes
be
counter-intuitive
and
numerous
communities
that
have
tried
to
remedy
this
situation
by
increasing
salary
have
seen
resistance
in
the
community,
who
maybe
don't
recognize
the
barrier
but
perceive
increasing
salary
as
either
gratuitous
or
something
like
that.
Child
care
is
perhaps
even
a
little
more
complex,
but
certainly
recognize
the
the
role
that
child
care
plays
in
in
making
all
kinds
of
things
available
to
parents,
including
serving
in
office.
Q
The
original
recommendation
suggested
either
some
sort
of
a
a
voucher
or
subsidy
or
perhaps
even
building
some
sort
of
child
care
facility.
I
don't
know
whether
that
would
be
operated
by
third
party
or
in-house
both
of
those
have
different
implications,
so
that
would
be
the
first
question
is
what
kind
of
a
model
would
it
be
if
it
were
in-house?
Of
course,
you
have
all
kinds
of
other
considerations
for
space
availability.
Q
We
could
create
an
imbalance
there
if
we
suddenly
entered
that
marketplace
and
kind
of
created
some
demand,
without
perhaps
pursuing
a
new
partnership
where
capacity
was
expanded
at
the
same
time.
So
those
are
a
handful
of
considerations.
Staff
is
here
to
listen
and
take
direction,
we'll
answer
any
questions
that
we
can,
but
otherwise
please
advise
us
on
what
you'd
like
to
do
moving
forward.
That's
all.
I
have.
L
Okay,
thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
for
the
staff
report
and
all
the
public
comment
on
this.
I
mean
the
one
we
sort
of
need
to
make
a
decision
on
sooner
than
the
rest
is
salary,
since
that
has
to
be
done
before
a
new
council
right
is
elected,
I
think
under
state
law,
for
it
to
take
effect,
but
a
couple
thoughts
on
all
of
it.
L
L
A
lot
of
people-
and
I
think
someone
commented
on
this-
can't
stop
their
career
right.
They
sort
of
lose
tenure
if
you're
a
school
teacher,
whatever
it
may
be.
But
if
we
want
to
open
this
up
to
anyone
to
be
able
to
run,
afford
to
run
and
have
the
time
to
serve
on
council,
I
think
each
council
member
having
whether
it's
an
admin
assistant
or
something
would
really
make
a
difference
and.
R
L
Appreciate
some
council
members
have
had
fellows
or
interns
to
do
it,
but
I
don't
think
that's
the
best
method,
and
we
these.
If
we're
having
people,
do
it,
they
should
be
employees.
We
know
that
they're
making
right
a
wage,
a
living
wage,
they're
getting
benefits
and
they're
also
covered
as
employees
with
our
attorney-client
communication.
L
If
they're
reading
our
emails
and
responding
to
folks,
so
I
really
do
think
that's
necessary
as
far
as
the
appropriate
salary
I'm
open
to
that,
I
you
know
the
ordinance
that
was
passed
most
recently
in
2007
set
the
salary
at
what
it
is
now
and
says
that,
on
january
1st
of
each
year
following
municipal
election,
the
salary
shall
be
automatically
adjusted
to
equal.
The
council
median,
which
I
could
not
figure
out
what
the
council
media
is.
L
So
that's
been
in
place,
at
least
since
2007
and
has
never
happened,
and
it's
just
a
reminder.
We
have
a
lot
of
ordinances
that
we
don't
follow,
but
I
don't
really
we're
not
the
same
as
the
other
cities
in
the
valley,
and
I
think
the
demands
the
budget
I
mean,
I
think
I'm
not.
I
mentioned
the
budget
right,
I
mean
when
you
look
at
all
of
our
budgets
together.
It's
you
know
we're
just
almost
half
a
billion
dollar
entity
and
no
city
is
even
remotely
close
to
that.
L
L
L
Obviously
you
don't
get
reimbursed
for
travel
to
and
from
city
hall,
but
many
of
us
go
to
meetings
in
other
places.
Some
go
clearly
to
riverside
more
regularly
than
others
and
administratively
trying
to
do
the
salary,
the
the
mileage
it
may
be
better
just
to
come
up
with
some
standard
amount
on
that.
So
that's
my
initial
thoughts
for
the
conversation.
L
None
of
this
will
apply
to
me
since
I'm
leaving,
but
so
that's
why
I
thought
it
was
best
that
I
I
asked
for
this,
but
I
do
think
it's
really
important
that
I
mean
look.
We've
done
better
on
diversity
and
age
than
I
think,
we've
ever
done
on
this
council,
but
I
was
working
full-time
when
I
took
the
job
and
I
cut
that
20
hours
a
week
and
it
wasn't
manageable
and
part
of
it
wasn't
manageable
because
I
had
other
stuff
I
had
to
do.
L
During
the
day
there
were
times
I'd
be
in
sacramento
or
other
states
doing
right
work.
I
was
at
the
national
center
for
lesbian
rights
and
after
a
year
I
just
stopped
it
just
was
not
manageable
and
I
think,
having
the
admin
support
and
currently
and
for
a
while,
we
don't
even
have
anyone
we're
sharing
one
scheduler
with
the
city
manager.
L
I
mean
that's
just
ridiculous
for
five
people
with
the
requests
we
get
every
single
day
and
people
get
annoyed
when
we
don't
respond
to
emails,
even
if
they're
not
questions
because,
but
that
that
is
a
full-time
job.
And
so,
if
we're
going
to
make
this
full-time
job,
I
think
we
limit
it
a
lot
more
who
can
serve
than
if
we
provide
the
staff
support
and
a
reasonable
salary
to
offset
the
other
time
for
folks.
So
that
that's
my
thinking
on
that,
but
I
look
forward
to
the
conversation.
I'm
glad
we're
having
it
now.
M
I've
also
have
a
core
group
of
folks
that
I've
helped
throughout
the
region
who
are
younger
people
of
color
working
class,
folks,
parents.
You
know
people
with
full-time
jobs
and
I've
sort
of
watched
their
experiences
over
the
last
five
years.
Since
I
was
elected,
I
completely
agree
with
everything
council
member
core
said,
and
I
support
each
of
your
suggestions.
M
Yes,
I
think
the
majority
of
the
last
city
council
requested
a
car
allowance,
and
there
was
support
for
that,
because
we
don't
currently
have
a
system
to
get
reimbursed
for
mileage.
We
drive
to
san
diego
and
riverside
and
places
that
are
very,
very
far
la
for
skag
and
it's
a
lot
of
additional
costs
that
are
just
never
compensated
for
council
members.
M
I
completely
agree
with
what
you
said
about
child
care
and
expanding
that
as
a
benefit
to
staff,
either
as
a
subsidy
or
additional.
You
know
amount.
We
have
such
a
child
care
crisis,
we
have
a
hard
time
recruiting
and
retaining
staff,
and
I
think
if
we
want
to
be
a
progressive
city
that
by
the
way,
also
hires
our
residents,
I've
heard
the
council
talking
about.
M
I
think
we
should
provide
child
care
and
lead
the
way
I've
been
working
with
about
families
which
is
a
non-profit
child
care
provider
and
a
few
others
looking
for
spaces,
and
I
think
that
there
is
an
opportunity
with
the
city
to
provide
city
space
or
to
find
another
facility,
and
there
might
be
some
opportunity
to
scale.
But
I
agree
that
that's
a
larger
question
that
we
will
take
some
time
it's
going
to
take
many
months
and
you'll
probably
input
from
stakeholders
to
decide
that,
and
I
very
much
agree
that
council
salaries
need
to
be.
M
M
I
think
they
want
us
to
go,
find
state
funding
and
federal
funding
and
make
good
policy,
and
you
know,
make
the
city
a
better
place
and
improve
lives,
but
there's
just
so
much
work
to
do
as
a
council
member.
So
I
I
have
tried
and
we've
tried
to
do.
You
know,
use
technology
in
other
ways,
but
thank
you,
council
member
course
for
your
points
about
staffing,
we're
just
so
inadequately
staffed
and
it
makes
it
really
hard
to
do
our
job.
People
don't
understand
that
we
do
all
of
the
constituent
requests.
Almost
that
we
get.
M
You
know
every
email
you
know
is
us
reading
them
responding
to
them
all
the
research.
Sometimes
we
write
legislation,
we
write
resolutions,
we
write
ordinances,
council,
member,
of
course,
and
I've
read
written
all
kinds
of
ordinances.
It's
just
us
and
people
don't
understand,
and
you
know
people
deserve
a
response
from
their
elected
officials,
and
you
know
we
can't
give
them
that
in
the
way
that
we're
staffed.
Now
people
have
said,
I
won't.
M
You
know,
I
can't
vote
for
you,
because
you
don't
respond
to
my
email
and
I've
been
doing
this
as
a
full-time
job
after
the
pandemic.
So
there's
a
lot
of
work
to
be
done
and
it's
just
very,
very
difficult
for
those
of
us.
You
know
who
who
are
working.
I've
left
two
a
full-time
six-figure
careers
as
an
attorney,
and
then
I
tried
to
work
at
a
non-profit,
full-time
and
both
were
just.
M
I
was
working
like
60
to
80
hours
a
week
to
serve
the
city
and
I
very
much
think
we
benefit
from
people
of
color.
You
know
women
working
class
folks,
like
teachers,
firefighters,
you
know
the
people
we
want
to
be
able
to
serve
our
city
and
we
just
have
to
pay
them.
I
mean
I've
seen
people
in
other
cities
leave
because
they
just
could
not
leave
their
city
job
because
they
just
could
not
hold
down
being
a
city
council
member
with
a
job.
M
It's
just
really
really
difficult
when
you
add
on
caretaking
and
all
the
other
responsibilities,
so
council
member
core,
sorry
to
go
on
a
long
time
there,
but
I
think
it's
really
powerful
and
really
important
that
we
address
this
issue.
We
look
and
see
you
know
the
candidates
that
run,
and
you
know,
file
intentions
to
run,
and
we
don't
see
a
lot
of
diversity
there.
We
need
to
see
more
diversity
in
who
runs
and
who
represents
and
serves
the
city.
M
C
C
Additionally,
the
salary
increase
makes
a
huge
difference
because
it
is
difficult
to
hold
two
full-time
jobs
that
expect
you
to
be
there
between
nine
to
five,
which
is
most
most
jobs.
I
have
worked
full
time
and
worked
full
time
at
city
council
for
the
majority
of
the
time
that
I've
I've
been
on
council.
C
This
this
year
has
been
the
first
time
where
I've
taken
a
little
bit
of
a
break
from
other
work
and
that's
been
very
difficult.
It
was
something
that
I
had
to
plan
extremely
carefully
and
I
looked
at
my
bank
account
even
today
and
went
oh,
my
gosh,
I'm
getting
dangerously
close
to
the
point
where
I
can't
have
that
luxury
anymore.
C
So
while
I
was
happy
to
work
full-time
at
a
at
another
job
as
an
attorney
and
then
working
with
an
amazing
organization
on
statewide
redistricting
part
of
the
reason
and
working
full-time
for
the
city
council,
it
does
take
a
toll
on
you,
physically
mentally
emotionally,
to
be
working
almost
constantly
right
to
not
have
any
time
for
ourselves,
and
I
think
that
we
can
be
better
council
members
if
we
have
opportunities
to
take
times
for
ourselves
too.
Just
like
we
can
be
better
employees
generally,
if
we're
not
overworked.
C
And
so
I
do
think
that
this
is
a
huge
equity
issue.
I
do
hear
from
residents
who
say
that
they
would
not
consider
running
because
of
the
the
the
lack
of
pay
I
have
had
residents
assume
that
we
are
paid
considerably
more
money
than
we
are
because
of
the
work
that
we
all
have
put
in
and
that
past
councils
have
put
in,
and
I
think
it
is
very
obvious
to
the
residents
of
palm
springs,
that
our
councils,
especially
in
these
last
10
years.
C
I
have
no
problem
with
that
that
salary
be
being
determined
by
a
third
party.
I
think
that's
fine,
and
obviously
there
were
a
variety
of
ways
in
which
that
can
be
figured
out
in
terms
of
the
child
care.
I
think
that
we
do
need
to
move
forward
on
that
council
member
holstitch
has
been
vocal
about
the
zoning
issues
that
child
care
facilities
have
have.
C
You
know
we
should
be
rezoning
to
allow
for
child
care
in
you
know
pretty
much
everywhere
in
our
city
and
we
should
be
providing
waivers
to
make
that
process
easier
for
them.
These
are
things
that
I
think
that
we
can
do
now
to
start
the
process
and
work
with
people
who
want
to
come
here
and
open
child
care
facilities
and
and
say
that
they're
welcome
here,
and
that
would
go
a
long
way
alone.
C
I
know
that
this
is
one
of
the
things
that
you
know.
We
do
so
well
as
we're
welcoming
lgbtq
city,
and
I
love
the
growth
that
I've
seen
the
city
take
in
this
regard
and
in
in
my
generation
and
and
councilman
hostage's
generation
we're
seeing
that
lgbtq
people
are
having
children
at
a
far
higher
rate
than
the
prior
generation,
and
I
think
it's
such
a
beautiful
thing
and
so
for
me
supporting
child
care
really
is
an
equity
issue
on
so
many
levels.
C
So
I
would
really
like
to
see
us
move
forward,
as
my
colleagues
have
already
stated.
So.
Thank
you
all
for
for
your
comments
and
I
appreciate
as
well.
The
residents
of
palm
springs,
taking
into
account
what
we're
saying
and
and
giving
us
the
courtesy
of
having
this
conversation,
and
I
hope
that
if
you
do
have
questions
that
you'll
reach
out
to
us
and
and
let
us
talk
to
you
about
them,
because
there
is
a
lot
more
to
this
job
than
some
people
realize.
A
A
I
don't
come
from
a
wealthy
family,
but
I
managed
to
earn
a
pension
through
36
years
of
work.
It's
for
the
state
of
california
without
that
pension.
I
would
not
be
here
today
and
that
doesn't
apply
to
everyone.
So
I
think
there
are
things
that
we
need
to
do,
and
members
of
the
working
group
gave
us
some
very
good
ideas
of
directions
that
we
can
responsibly
go,
provide
additional
staffing
to
provide
additional
support.
A
A
So
I
think
it's
something
that
that
we
should
definitely
look
at
child
care
is
been
talked
about.
We
need
to
have
something
that
provides
that
as
benefit
for
all
of
our
employees,
all
of
our
staff
and
including
any
member
of
city
council
that
would
have
need
of
child
care,
and
we
hope
that
that
will
be
more
than
one
of
us
in
the
future
when
it
comes
to
salary.
C
Just
but
I'm
sorry,
I
got
emotional
there
mayor
you,
your
comments
about
this.
Being
that
the
greatest
honor
that
really
chokes
me
up.
That's
my
parents
are
both
marines
and
service
to
your
country,
and
your
community
is
one
of
the
biggest
lessons
that
I
was
taught
growing
up
and
it
makes
me
emotional
when
you
say
that's
part
of
my
little
outburst.
There.
J
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
to
the
group
that
that
put
it
together
for
a
point
of
discussion.
I
think
some
of
the
points
are
are
valid.
Other
ones,
I'm
questioning
just
having
experience
with
it
complete
experience
with
it,
and
I
don't
know
if
you
know
these
barriers
that
have
been
suggested
have
any
sort
of
statistics
behind
them.
You
know,
or
you
know
where
they
come
from,
I
think
we're
a
very
different
city
than
a
city
like
san,
diego
or
los
angeles.
J
J
Well
beyond
what
that's
doing,
and
we've
set
an
expectation
level
by
doing
that
in
the
community,
and
maybe
that's
a
false
expectation
level
that
you
can
call
me
about
your
trash,
your
pothole
and
all
this
stuff.
When
I
really
can't
repair
the
pothole,
I
can
only
guide
you
to
the
place
to
get
it
repaired,
but
it's
tough.
I
can
tell
you
it:
is
it's
been
a
I
I
will
the
mayor
and
the
mayor
pro
tem
talking
about
an
honor
to
serve
on
this?
It
absolutely
is,
it
is
fantastic.
J
Is
the
pay
it's
pretty
bad?
You
know
it
is
pretty
bad
at
the
29.
000
is
before
tax.
So
by
the
time
you
take
home
that
paycheck,
it
is
pretty
skinny
and
I
would
agree
with
the
comments
that
have
been
said.
If
you
want
to
be
effective
and
responsive
and
all
of
that
and
want
to
be
engaged,
it
can
be
a
full-time
job.
There
is
no
doubt
about
it.
The
question
is:
where
do
you
draw
that
line
and
it
for
each
of
us?
J
I
can
tell
you
just
being
on
the
council
with
all
of
you,
it's
very
different
for
each
one
of
us
and
what
how
we
do
that
and
where
we
draw
the
line,
I'm
not
sure
it's
going
to
bring
in
more
diversity
or
what
that
means.
We
had
an
all
gay,
lesbian,
gay,
bisexual,
transgendered
council.
That's
pretty
diverse,
we
have
men,
we
have
women,
we
have
transsexual,
I
mean
that's
pretty
diverse,
we
have
old
and
we
have
young,
we
don't
have
a
person
necessarily
have
a
person
of
color
as
well.
J
What
more
diversity
are
we
looking
for?
I'm
I'm
not
clear
on
that.
So
you
know
I
just
it's
good,
it's
good
lip
service,
but
what
does
it
really
mean?
Did
you
want,
like
you
know?
What
does
that
mean?
There's
no
shortage
of
candidates
running
in
this
election.
So
I
don't
you
know.
Obviously
people
want
the
job.
J
J
J
It's
difficult
for
management,
it's
difficult
for
the
staff,
it's
difficult
for
the
elected
official
who
might
want
to
push
a
policy,
I
so
being
a
full-time
staff.
Member
and
a
small
city
like
palm
springs,
45
000
people-
I
I'm
just.
I
want
more
understanding
of
what
that
means.
I
also
worked
in
a
city
where
each
council
member
had
their
own
assistant,
that's,
and
I
think
it
was
mentioned
in
one
of
the
comments
that
that
was
the
city
of
west
hollywood-
that
failed
that
no
longer
exists.
J
J
You
have
to
have
a
job
description,
you
know
I
and
who
is
going
to
oversee
you,
your
work,
your
job,
your
time.
All
of
that
it's
problematic,
you
know
getting
a
stipend,
you
know
or
twenty
some
thousand
dollars
is
a
very
different
thing.
You
know
santa
monica.
I
look
up
santa
monica
ever
talking,
which
is
a
similar
city.
It's
got
an
airport,
it's
got
all
the
things
that
we
have
here.
J
It's
got
convention
center,
it's
a
tourist
destination
and
they
make
less
than
we
make
they
they
also,
but
they
get
a
four
thousand
dollar
car
allowance
a
year
and
they
get
benefits,
but
I
I
I
just
think
it
you
know
we
approved
new
people
in
the
last
budget.
I
don't
know
you
know
what
we
would
be
doing
full-time
and
I
think
that
would
need
to
be
described.
J
So
you
know
yeah
increasing
salary
to
a
bit
great
to
a
full-time
job,
not
sure
unless
we
can
work
out
some
of
the
kinks
on
that
carl
allowance.
I
absolutely
agree
with
what
everyone
has
been
said
on
that
evidence
that
will
bring
more
people
or
diverse
people.
Yeah
is
that
you
know.
Does
salary
alone
do
that?
I
am
not
sure
child
care
do
that?
I'm
not
sure
that
that
will
actually
do
that.
J
I
actually
think
that
when
you
start
having
assistance
per
council
member
that,
then
you
start
playing
politics
more
right
versus
being
a
policy
decision
maker.
So
I
I
guess
I
say
all
this
and
that
I
think
many
of
the
suggestions
that
have
been
made-
or
some
of
the
suggestions
that
have
been
made
would
would
benefit
the
city.
J
Other
suggestions,
I'm
not
so
clear
on
and
I
don't
know,
is
the
evidence-
is
there
to
do
it
so,
and
I
think
the
city
manager
talked
about
some
of
those
problems
and
I
would
support
some
of
his
opinions.
I
know
I'm
contrary
to
what
many
of
you
think
at
this
point,
but
we
are,
you
know
we're
we're
here,
not
as
a
staff
member
but
to
set
policy.
J
If
we
want
to
change
our
form
of
government,
we
need
to
change
our
charter.
If
we
want
to
be
something
different,
then
we
need
to
go
to
the
voters
and
be
something
different,
and
I'm
totally
in
support
of
that.
If
that's
what
we
want
to
do,
I'm
totally
supportive
of
that,
and
I
think,
like
the
mayor,
said,
if,
if
we
need
to
go
to
the
voters
for
certain
issues
of
this
proposal,
let's
do
it.
Let's
see
what
the
citizens
really
want
out
there,
but
I
don't
think
arbitrarily
giving
a
changing.
J
J
That
assistant
in
many
cases
in
my
experience,
is
really
a
political
advocate,
more
than
an
administrative
assistant
which
we
currently
have-
and
I
think
we
just
approved
more
of
on
that-
and
we
also
have
discretionary
funds-
and
I
know
one
of
the
council
members
using
those
discretionary
funds
for
some
administrative
and
some
other
stuff.
So
I
just
I'm
treading
with
caution.
I'm
not
saying
it's
good,
I'm
not
saying
it's
bad,
I'm
saying
I'm
shredding
with
caution
on
the
whole
thing.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you,
I
think
language
matters,
so
I
just
want
to
point
out
dennis
that
you
know
you're
part
of
the
lgbtq
community,
but
you
should
still
use
the
right
language
when
we're
talking
about
other
members
of
the
lgbtq
community
and
I'm
sure
it
was
a
slip.
But
I
think
it's
important
to
point
that
out
just
in
general,
but
I
I
do
think
just
to
the
larger
point
about
other
cities.
C
C
A
Thank
you.
We've
had
four
areas
as
I
follow
it
that
have
been
raised
this
evening.
One
is
a
potential
vehicle
allowance.
The
second
is
a
system
to
provide
child
care,
and
I
think
everyone
has
spoken
of
that
in
terms
of
being
something
that
would
be
broadly
based
and
available
to
all
members
of
city
staff,
additional
staffing
and
administrative
support
for
members
of
council
and
then,
lastly,
changes
in
salary
levels
that
last
one
changes
in
salary
levels
is,
I
understand
it.
A
F
Thank
you,
mayor
middleton.
Yes,
there
are,
there
would
be
restrictions
on
how
to
implement
compensation
changes
for
council
specifically
for
palm
springs.
It
would
need
to
be
passed
by
an
ordinance
to
change
the
municipal
code,
basically
to
update
it
to
whatever
additional
compensation
or
adjustments
in
compensation
the
council
would
like.
M
A
M
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
I'm.
So
sorry
I
just
had
a
quick
question
on
that
ryan
to
the
city
attorney.
So
you
stated
earlier,
it
was
stated
earlier
that
we
actually
have
not
been
complying
with
our
existing
ordinance
on
council
pay,
so
the
ordinance
passed
in
2007
required
an
analysis
and
updating
every
year.
Would
that
have
led
to
any
increases?
Do
we
know
it?
Wouldn't
because
it
has
a
comparative
study,
so
we
would
actually
have
to
do
a
new
ordinance
that
would
require
a
cost
of
living
adjustment.
F
Yeah
council
member
hostage,
we
would
have
to
pass
an
ordinance
to
adjust
compensation,
so
I'd
have
to
look
in
to
see
exactly
what
it
what
it
is
now
and
what
changes
have
been
reflected
since
the
passage
of
the
ordinance,
but
obviously
moving
forward.
To
the
extent
the
council
wanted
to
adjust
compensation
that
would
be
passed
through
another
ordinance
to
adjust
council
compensation
moving
forward.
L
Thanks
and
mayor
middleton,
I
think
for
non-charter
cities
there's
a
whole
process
and
formula
because
of
what
happened
in
bell.
I
think
that
doesn't
apply
to
charter
cities.
So
that's
my
understanding
is
that
correct
city
attorney
right
there's
a
different
process.
It
can't
be
more
than
like
a
five
percent
annual
increase
and
it's
set
on
a
formula
based
on
population.
F
L
And
well,
I
think
we
can
talk
about
each.
You
know
these
individually,
obviously,
salary
and
the
staffing
has
some
overlap,
but
you
know
one
thing
in
our
ordinance.
I
think
we
do
need
to
change
the
ordinance
that
really
makes
no
sense
right,
so
the
amount
that
was
approved
in
2007,
then
it's
going
to
be
adjusted
after
every
council
election
to
the
median
of
charter
cities
in
the
valley,
which
is
not
where
the
council
set
the
salary
in
2007..
L
L
L
Well,
if
you're
not
making
a
full-time
job,
but
if
it's
staffed
appropriately
and
we
did
the
cost
of
living,
I
think
it
remains
a
part-time
job
and
we'd
be
able
to
offer
so
much
more
for
our
constituents
if
there
are
people
to
help
them
with
their
the
problems
that
they're
having
and
now
they're
earned
districts.
Although,
yes
often
people
reach
out
to
five
of
us
individually
and
sometimes
we're
sending
it
to
different
staff,
because
we
don't
even
have
a
process
for
that
right.
L
We've
tried
to
do
that
several
times
and
it's
never
happened
or
worked.
So
I
think
that
would
just
make
it
available
and
councilmember
woods.
I
agree
we
have
people
who
run
for
council,
but
I
think
we're
limited
in
who
is
willing
to
run
right.
I
know
people
who
you
know.
I
think
there
are
some
people
who
the
salary
itself
would
be
enough,
because
they're
giving
up
some
other
work
to
do
this
right.
L
So
you
know
mayor
pro
time:
garner
is
working
less
as
an
attorney,
so
the
salary
increase
could
have
an
impact
right.
That's
true
for
people
who
are
in
their
own
business
or
run
their
own
business
or
independent
contractors,
so
the
salary
would
help
them,
but
firefighters,
police
officers,
school
teachers,
cooks
and
restaurants.
L
They
they're
in
unable
to
do
this
job
without
staff
support,
there's
just
no
way
it
doesn't
matter
what
the
salary
is.
They
have
to
quit
their
job
and
a
lot
of
those
jobs.
We'll
just
take
a
school
teacher.
You
lose
tenure.
If
you
stop
so
you
know,
the
salary
alone
will
help
some
folks,
there's
no
doubt
be
able
to
make
up
the
work
they're
losing.
L
But
if
we
don't
provide
the
staffing
we're
never
going
to
be
able
to
get
people
who
have
regular
40-hour
week,
jobs,
it's
just
not
possible.
You
know.
I've
worked
many
jobs
in
my
life,
you
know,
whereas
working
80
hours
a
week,
but
when
I
was
trying
to
do
a
half
time
at
national
center
for
lesbian
rights
and
this
job.
L
You
end
up
having
a
lot
of
folks
who
are
financially
able
to
do
it
and
so
you're
missing
the
voices
of
people
who
work
in
those
jobs
who
want
to
be
able
to
serve
their
city
and
would
add
so
much
value
to
have
those
different
voices
on
council.
So
I
think
some
combination
of
the
two
is
the
way
to
do
that
as
far
as
west
hollywood,
their
deputies
worked
really
well,
because
I
worked
with
them
for
a
decade
when
I
was
at
equality.
L
California,
and
I
worked
with
the
deputies
much
more
than
I
work
with
the
council
members,
even
though
one
was
my
board
president
to
get
things
done
there.
But
yes,
you
had
a
deputy
who
was
accused
of
bugging
another
deputy's
office
and
taking
city
lists
for
political
purposes,
and
that
could
happen
to
any
single
member
of
staff.
That
is
not.
That
doesn't
mean
the
system
failed,
because
you
had
that
problem
and
that
led
to
a
sexual
harassment
complaint
I
mean
that's
not
saying
the
system
was
bad.
L
It
worked
for
a
long
long
time
before
you
had.
You
know
that
situation
and
yes,
as
people
know,
I've
said
this
before
people
shouldn't
bug
people's
offices
even
their
own,
which
unfortunately,
we've
had
in
our
council.
So
I
don't
think
that
is.
That
means
the
system
can't
work
by
any
means
so,
but
I
think
we
have
to
be
clear
on
what
the
job
is
right
for
an
assistant,
but
I
do
think
we
want
people
who
are
in
jobs
where
they
have
to
be
at
work.
L
You
know
a
typical
nine
to
five
or
nine
to
six
day
to
be
able
to
serve
on
council
as
well.
It
shouldn't
just
be
people,
you
know
who
are
giving
up
income
because
of
their
they're,
their
own
boss
or
people
who
are
retired
or
have
the
means
not
to
have
another
job.
I
think
that
really
limits
who
can
who
can
serve
and
we're
here
to
serve
all
our
residents
and
all
of
our
residents
should
have
the
opportunity
to
serve
if
the
voters
elect
them
and
we're
not
in
that
position
right
now.
D
A
Perhaps
in
the
interest
of
time
and
make
sure
that
we
give
clear
direction
to
to
staff-
and
this
is
one
where
we're
supposed
to
give-
we
hope
to
give
direction.
We
could
take
each
one
of
these
four
issues,
one
at
a
time
and
try
to
give
some
dr
and
give
direction
to
staff.
So
I'm
going
to
start
with
a
car
allowance.
A
L
L
Unreimbursed
travel
is
for
the
various
things
we're
doing
to
try
and
come
up
with
an
appropriate
rate
might
make
sense,
but
I
am
supportive
of
some
kind
of
car
allowance,
given
people
are
using
their
cars
for
city
work,
and
I
think
that
would
be
the
fairest
and
easiest
way
to
do
it.
Instead
of
having
staff
having
to
do
all
the
work,
every
single
you
know
going
back
every
month
and
looking
at
the
travel
to
come
up
with
an
allowance
number.
So
I
do
support
that.
A
N
J
I'm
extremely
supportive
of
that.
I
think
it's
very
common.
I
think
it.
I
can
tell
you
for
myself,
it's
a
nightmare
to
try
and
put
a
a
mileage
thing
together,
it's
a
nightmare
for
me:
it's
a
nightmare
for
staff.
It's
way
too
much
work
for
petty
stuff-
and
I
I
think
just
having
an
allowance
makes
it
much
easier.
Q
A
Justin
you
you've
identified
that
there's
some
broad
issues
associated
with
that.
If
I
heard
correctly-
and
I
I
don't
want
to
shortchange
what
anyone
said,
what
we
are
broadly
seem
to
be
talking
about
is
something
that
would
provide
child
care
to
city
staff,
in
addition
to
our
inning
and
including
any
member
city
council,
that
would
need
it
and
you've
identified
that
there
are
going
to
be
some
issues
in
coming
back
with
a
proposal,
but
we
would
like
to
see
one
is
that
a
fair
statement.
M
Thank
you
thank
you,
mayor,
and
I
think
I
raised
this
in
another
council
meeting
and
by
the
way
I
don't
intend
any
of
these
changes,
and
I
think
city
attorney
can
confirm
that
these
changes
would
apply
to
future
councils
correct
so
just
in
mild.
But
I'm
just
sharing
my
experience,
so
you
can
understand
why
someone
like
me
most
likely,
cannot
serve
in
this
role
in
the
future.
M
So
it's
costing
me
200
to
do
this
meeting
tonight
so
when
you
can
for
child
care,
and
so
when
you
understand
that
not
only
are
we
paying
our
council
members
29
000
a
year,
but
then
they
also
have
costs
like
caretaking
it.
Not
only
don't
it
not
only
doesn't
compensate
us
or
costs
us
less
than
minimum
pays
us
less.
Minimum
wage
actually
is
costing
us
more.
M
Your
job
might
be
compensated
in
some
way,
like
the
way
that
other
employers
do
that
right
in
other
cities,
so
something
which
would
allow
people
with
caretaking
responsibilities
to
do
this
job
and
serve
and
not
you
know,
have
to
pay
like.
I
think
that
will
then
impact
the
events
right.
It
costs
me
as
a
parent,
a
hundred
dollars
to
go
to
any
evening
event,
because
that's
a
cost
of
child
care,
then
you're
really
going
to
see.
Parents
and
caretakers
opt
out
of
participating
in
city
events
and
then
that
harms
them.
M
I
would
like
to
ask
if
there's
an
intermediary
policy
there,
where
we
can
reimburse
child
care.
You
know
you
can
use
campaign
funds
to
reimburse
child
care
to
do
the
job.
There's
a
lot
of
precedent
that
we
might
be
able
to
use
for
future
caretakers
to
to
at
least
be
able
to
afford
to
do
this
job.
While
someone
watches
the
people
they
take
care
of.
M
J
J
It
could
be
a
sick
person
right
that
you're
taking
here
it
could
be
any
variety
of
things,
but
I'm
just
wondering
if
we
can't
just
roll
it
into
kind
of
a
non-specific
kind
of
thing
versus
a
reimbursement
all
the
time-
and
you
know
are
they
charging,
you
know
prevailing
wages
and
all
that
stuff
we
get
into.
If
we
come
up
back
with
the
proposal,
it
might
be
nice
to
say
you
get
this
amount
and
then
kind
of
spend
it.
J
J
So
I
I
would
ask
that
my
comments
kind
of
be
considered
in
the
process,
because
I
certainly
don't
want
to
like
hire
an
elderly
care
person
and
find
out
I'm
not
paying
good
wages
and
that's
exposed
which
politics
has
been
with
politicians
or
their
yard
worker
or
whatever.
And
I
just
don't
think
I
want
to
be
in
that
position
or
I
don't
want
any
of
my
colleagues
in
that
position.
M
Sure-
and
I
didn't
mean
to
say
reimbursable
because
I
agree,
the
administrative
burden
is
very,
very
high,
like
with
mileage.
I've
never
submitted
mileage-
it's
just.
I
don't
have
enough
time
in
my
day
to
do
that,
and
so
I
just
pay
for
it
myself
and
subsidize
this
work
in
a
lot
of
ways.
So
I
don't
know
if
we
have
to
give
specific
direction
now,
but
bring
back
some
sort
of
policy
in
the
interim
that
might
you
know
this
is
a
typical
benefit.
A
subsidy
provided
by
employers.
Q
Q
So
I
think
we
could
at
least
bring
back
a
few
options
for
council
to
consider
that
one
is
a
little
more
complicated.
I
think
to
get
done.
You
know
in
the
next
couple
of
months,
you've
got
a
meeting
in
july
and
then
we're
in
september
and
there's
an
election
in
november
and
you've
got
a
really
ambitious
agenda
already.
To
be
to
be
honest,
but
we
can
do
our
best
to
bring
you
something.
A
A
L
Yeah-
and
I
think
if
we
look
at
something
like
that,
you
know
we
should
discuss-
is
that
a
full-time
job
as
a
half-time
job?
You
know
just
get
a
sense,
because
I
do
think
it
balances
somewhat
with
salary,
but
I
think
it
would
really
improve
our
constituent
services,
which,
while
this
is
a
policy
job,
is
a
enormous
amount
of
time
in
our
jobs
right,
our
constituents
reach
out
to
their
elected
officials
right.
They
expect
us
to
respond.
A
If
I
may,
what
I'm
trying
to
do
here
is
to
get
us
to
where
we
have
given
direction
to
staff
so
that
they
can
bring
recommendations
back
to
us.
So
this
is
not
a
resolution
of
these
issues.
This
is
here's
the
sentiment
of
city
council.
Please
come
back
and
give
us
very
specific
recommendations
that
we
can
consider
that
will
be
on
agendas
that
will
then
be
debated
and
and
we
will
receive.
I
am
certain
extensive
public
comment
on.
M
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
I'm
not
I'll
just
share
and
I'll
see
where
council
is,
but
I
really
like
staff
recommendation
about
what
adequate
staffing
would
look
like.
I'm
not
married
to
the
idea
that
it
has
to
be
one-on-one
one
per
one
council
member.
I
think
we're
woefully
understaffed
and
it's
impacting
our
ability
to
do
our
job
and
respond
to
our
constituents
I'll
share,
I'm
just
sharing
from
my
personal
experience.
M
I
don't
and
lauren's
been
here
almost
for
a
year
with
me.
She
hasn't
caused
any
political
fire,
storms
or
done.
Anything
untoward
like
dennis
would
say
said:
she's
done,
research
for
me.
She's
responded
to
constituents,
she's
done
follow-up.
I
mean
like
the
basic
things
that
are
sort
of
too
hard
for
us
to
do
when
we're
also
doing
policy
work.
So
to
me
that
position
has
been
life-changing.
M
We
should
definitely
pay
her
more.
I
agree
it
should
be
a
full-time
job
with
benefits
at
the
city.
So
I
strongly
support
this,
but
I
I
like
to
leave
it
to
staff
of
bringing
a
few
possibilities
of
what
adequate
staffing
would
look
like,
and
you
know
protect
in
a
way
that
it's
a
non-political
position,
but
that
it
is
getting
council
members
and
I'll
just
say
the
debate
about
you
know
full-time
or
part-time.
M
That's
never
going
to
be
solved.
I
mean
I
support
our
form
of
government.
We
have
a
city,
you
know
manager,
form
of
government,
we're
not
changing
our
charter
here.
You
know
that
was
blown
out
of
proportion.
Each
council
member
is
elected
by
our
own
districts
and
our
own
constituents
to
do
the
job.
The
way
that
they
see
fit.
We're
gonna
do
it
differently,
and
so
some
people
are
gonna
do
more
constituent
services.
So
I
think
it's
a
false
argument
to
debate
about.
M
M
So
what
we
need
to
do
is
create
a
system
that
eliminates
as
many
barriers
and
disparities
and
inequities
as
possible,
and
I
think
yeah
having
adequate
staffing
that
at
least
allows
some
flexibility
in
that
will
get
us
there
and
we
shouldn't
get
distracted
by
the
full-time
part-time
debate,
because
that's
really
not
what's
in
front
of
us.
It's
really
up
to
council
members
to
decide
how
to
do
our
jobs
and
our
elect
our
the
public
decides.
If
we're
doing
it
well,.
M
L
I
agree
on
how
we
can
appropriately
staff
council
and
to
bring
back
some
different
ways
we
might
want
to
do.
That
would
be
helpful
and
for
what
it's
worth-
and
we
can
talk
about
this
during
our
study
session
and
priorities-
I
mean
this
goes
on
there
and
you
know
these
aren't
things
have
to
be
decided
in
the
next
couple,
two
or
three
months,
the
only
one
that
really
has
to
be
decided
soon
is
salary.
Q
A
A
C
Yes,
I
I
think
that's
accurate,
I
think
the
larger
issue
of
whether
or
not
it
should
be
more
than
that.
It
sounds
like
there's
debate
on
how
that
should
be
done
on
whether
or
not
it
goes
to
the
voters
or
is
decided
by
council,
but
I
think
for
the
immediate
future,
the
inflation
rate.
I
support
that-
and
I
I
heard
council
member
course
and
hostage
be
supportive
of
that
as
well.
L
Yeah,
no,
I
I
mean,
I
think
right.
Dealing
with
the
cost
of
living
should
needs
to
replace
this
median
thing
that
we've
never
done
in
the
ordinance,
and
I
think
we
can
do
that.
I
think
if
we're
gonna
do
something
different
and
there's
a
number
to
it,
it
probably
probably
I
think
it
should
go
to
the
voters,
I'm
also
good
with.
I
know
I
remember
when
I
was
working
in
san
francisco
city
hall.
L
You
know
what
they
did
was
and
it
went
to
the
voters,
but
they
said
they
you
know
sent
it
to.
I
don't
know
if
it
was
an
independent
commission
or
someone
who
does
staffing
salary
reviews
who
looked
at
what
their
hours
were,
what
the
job
was,
and
they
made
the
recommendation
rather
than
you
know
it's
a
little
hard
for
us
to
set
our
own
salaries
in
that
way.
So,
and
I
think
you
mentioned
that
mayor
pro
tem,
you
know
some
independent
body
could
do
it
as
well.
L
L
So
that
seems
to
be
the
easier
first
way
and
then
we
could
talk
about
the
other
way.
But
if
something
goes
to
the
voters,
we
have
to
decide
it
by
august
12th.
So
that's
why
I
just
wanted
to
flag
that
if
we
want
to
do
something
different,
we'll
need
to
do
it
by
august
12th
to
get
it
on
the
ballot.
So
it
applies
to
the
next
council.
C
Thank
you,
council
member
coors.
It
looks
like
we
might
have
lost
the
mayor,
so
I'm
going
to
take
over
the
the
running
of
the
meeting.
I
think
that's
council,
how
do
council
member
members
feel
in
terms
of
moving
forward
with
something
that
would
go
on
the
ballot
this
year
versus
something
that
would
go
on
the
ballot
at
a
later
date,
with
the
increase
in
cost
of
living?
C
M
Thank
you
mayor
pro
tem,
garner
I'd.
I
definitely
I'd
love
to
see
what
the
calculation
is.
If
we
have
that
about
what
the
cost
of
living
adjustment
that
was,
it
sounds
like
intended
in
20
2007
would
be
and
what
amount
that
would
be.
I
didn't
see
that
in
the
materials
or
did
I
miss
it,
we
don't
have
that
yet
I
think
that
would
be
good
to
analyze
I'm.
I
think
it
would
be
best
to
do
that
and
then
include
a
cost
of
living
adjustment.
M
So
at
least
the
2007
salary
keeps
up
with
inflation,
but
I'd
like
to
see
that
total
number
and
then
we
can
compare
what
we
what
we
think
for
a
ballot
measure,
but
it
might
be
a
difficult
time
with
inflation
so
high-
and
you
know
I
mean
we
can
engage.
You
know
the
work
that
we
might
need
to
do
to
consider
whether
it
would
be
a
ballot
measure
now
or
later
and.
C
Q
K
L
You
know
charter
city
adjustment
after
each
election
that
we'd
have
till
at
least
november
to
do
the
inflation
part
as
a
council
right
and
plenty
of
time
for
the
public
to
weigh
in
at
our
council
meetings
if
they
think
that's
a
good
or
bad
idea.
So
right,
I'm
just
looking
city
manager
and
city
attorney.
So
I'm
seeing
nothing.
Okay,.
Q
M
Thank
you.
How
does
updating
the
ordinance
just
for
inflation?
How
would
that
apply
to
the
separate
and
there's
a
huge
there's
such
a
huge
pay
gap
between
council
members
and
mayor,
and
I'm
just?
I
think
that
it's
no
longer
consistent
with
sorry
mayor
middleton.
I
think
it's
no
longer
consistent
with
the
role
of
the
mayor
that
we
have
now
in
our
move
to
districts
and
our
move
to
sort
of
decentralize
the
power
of
the
mayor
position
that
we
had
seen
in
the
past
that
had
caused
problems,
and
I
think
I
raised
this.
M
Q
And
that's
another
area
where
we
could
get
some
comparisons.
This
particular
system
with
the
rotating
mayor
is
very
common
and,
I
think,
also
very
common
to
see
a
slightly
slightly
higher
compensation,
but
I
would
tend
to
agree
based
on
at
least
the
the
cases
that
I
know
not
the
kind
of
discrepancy
that
we
have.
So
we
could
look
at
that
and
figure
out
what
the
spread
ought
to
be
for
the
additional
duties
that
do
often
rest
with
the
mayor
position.
A
M
O
A
F
F
Funds
for
the
facade
program
were
removed
from
the
budget
due
to
concerns
of
the
potential
impact
of
kobe
19
in
fiscal
year.
2021.
now,
with
businesses
reopened
and
a
new
normal
emerging
staff
is
recommending.
The
facade
improvement
program
be
reactivated
to
help
businesses
with
creating
attractive
and
inviting
storefronts
and
with
signage
to
incur
and
to
encourage
improvements
in
the
city
and
investments
in
commercial
properties.
F
F
Now,
as
I
mentioned,
staff
is
also
seeking
direction
on
the
potential
implementation
of
security,
video
camera
system
and
vandalism
repair
grants.
The
video
the
request
for
assistance
with
security,
video
camera
systems
and
reports
of
vandalism
have
come
up
in
many
discussions
of
business
groups
and
the
palm
springs
police.
F
There
were
also
requests
for
assistance
with
repairing
damage
to
businesses
due
to
vandalism
and
businesses
have
provided
quotes
of
window
repairs.
That
range
from
two
thousand
to
four
thousand
dollars.
They've
requested
that
such
a
program
would
provide
between
75
and
100
percent
relief
of
the
cost
to
repair
the
damage
due
to
concerns
that
using
their
insurance
for
such
repairs
would
cause
their
insurance
premiums
to
increase.
F
A
budget
of
thirty
thousand
dollars
could
assist
fifteen
businesses
with
2
000
each
for
assistance
with
vandalism
repair.
This
would
be
at
the
lower
end
of
the
cost
range
to
repair.
Vandalism.
That's
been
reported
making
this
program
a
one-time
grant,
may
be
the
most
equitable
way
of
delivering
this
program,
but
we
are
requesting
your
thoughts
and
direction
on
whether
you'd
like
to
implement
such
a
program,
and
it
is
important
to
note
that
these
programs
address
public
safety
and
the
aesthetics
of
the
city.
F
F
Well,
having
looked
at
the
cost
for
cameras,
they
seem
to
range
from
about
70
dollars
up
to
thousands
of
dollars,
so
we
were
really
just
looking
at
the
city
of
palm
deserts.
Programs
which
offered
a
500
grant
for
cameras,
which
we
would
estimate
would
provide
two
pretty
good
quality
cameras
for
a
business.
L
Thanks
jay,
it
was
good
to
hear
what
palm
desert
did.
I
know
there
are
some
other
programs.
Philadelphia
does
a
50
match
and
we'll
go
higher,
because
some
businesses
obviously
will
need
more
and
as
an
agreement
that
the
camera
footage
will
be
available
to
the
police
department.
I
know
some
cities
have
worked
with
one
cameo
camera
manufacturer
that
the
police
department
right
has
worked
with
so
that
there's
consistency
in
what
they're
getting
and
the
police
review,
where
the
cameras
are
going
so
they're
getting
what
they
need.
L
So
just
we
don't
have
to
decide
that
tonight,
but
I
just
wanted
to
I'll
share
you
some
of
the
things
I
found
in
my
research
today
as
I
was
sort
of
researching
some
other
programs
as
well,
so
we
can
have
some
flexibility
and
make
sure
they're
as
effective
as
possible.
If
we
do
this,
that's
all
but
I'll
shoot
you
those
over
tomorrow.
F
A
You
thanks
jay,
I'm
I'm
supportive
of
the
idea
of
providing
reimbursement
for
the
cameras
and
500
dollars.
Consistent
with
what
palm
desert
is
doing
seems
to
be
a
good
start,
but
I
would
echo
what
councilmember
coors
said.
These
are
systems
that
palm
springs,
police
department
is,
is
supporting
and
that
we
have
some
reason
to
to
know
that
they
will
be
providing
the
kind
of
information
that
helps
pspd
when
they
are
conducting
investigations
and
follow-up
to
to
crime
happening.
F
J
Jay,
thank
you.
You
know,
I,
I
think
anything
we
can
do
to
help
the
aesthetic
of
our
city
and
maintain
it.
I
mean
it's
our
lifeblood
at
this
point.
It's
why
people
come
here
for
a
different
experience,
and
I
think
that
is
a
positive
thing.
You
know
I
think
we've
talked
about
in
the
past.
Even
have
any
incentives
for
people
to
change
their
window
displays
so
they're
interesting
when
you
walk
by
and
whatnot,
would
anybody
are
there?
Are
there
criterias
to
qualify
for
it?
J
F
F
Yes,
the
camera
would
also
be
city-wide
there's
you
know
the
security
and
safety.
We
know.
There's
concentrations
where
you
know
camera
deployment
may
help
out
a
little
more,
but
you
know
we
wanted
to
try
and
be
equitable
also,
so
the
businesses
that
you
know
they
would
know
that
they
do
have
to
go
through
the
process
of
acquiring
the
cameras
themselves
and
possibly
through
a
program
that,
as
council
member
of
course,
has
mentioned,
that
ensures
consistency
with
well
what
the
police
can
use.
J
A
Jay,
I'm
very
supportive
of
the
150
000
funding
to
revitalize
the
facade
improvement
program.
I
think
that
is
an
excellent
program.
It
is
something
that
is
a
match
which
is
very
good
and
what
we
saw
10
years
ago
11
years
ago.
Is
this
program
worked
and
made
substantial
improvements
for
our
city
so
just
to
try
to
speed
us
through?
It's,
certainly
something
that
I
I
want
to
support.
A
I
also
want
to
support
the
cameras
I
am
struggling
when
it
comes
to
providing
reimbursements
for
firms
that,
based
on
vandalism,
losses.
I
think
the
facade
improvement
program
provides
an
opportunity
for
every
business
throughout
the
city
to
take
and
respond,
but
I've
heard
from
individuals
in
who've
had
vandalism
and
would
like
to
know
if
we're
going
to
extend
it
to
the
business,
why
can't
we
extend
it
to
the
homeowner
or
the
driver
of
a
car
who's
had
their
car
vandalized
or
any
number
of
other
individuals?
A
And
I
I
am-
I
struggle
that
we
should
step
in
to
replace
insurance
or
to
replace
the
deduct
the
need
for
individuals
to
to
provide
deductible
payments.
So
I'm
I'm
not
going
to
be
able
to
support
funding
for
vandalism
relief,
but
I
think
those
who
have
suffered
it
will
be
able
to
get
relief
through
the
facade
improvement
program.
J
F
Well,
it's
not
under
the
facade
improvement
grant
program
or
the
community
and
economic
development
department,
but
I
do
believe
our
facilities
department
manages
the
graffiti
calls.
As
you
said,
that's
reported
on
the
app
and
it's
noted
and
stamp
and
team
know
to
go
out
and
take
a
look
and
assess
and
address
the
graffiti.
That's
out
there.
G
J
I
I
just
want
to
great
thank
you
for
that
and
I've
you
know.
Sometimes
you
know
an
association
wall
could
be
graffitied
or
you
know
anything
could
be
graffitied,
and
I
have
seen
situations
where
all
a
homeowner
or
a
association
or
a
business
whatever
it
is
has
to
do,
is
have
a
release
which
is
electronically
done
through
the
city,
allowing
the
city
to
basically
remove
that
graffiti.
J
M
Thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much
for
this.
I
appreciate
the
staff
report
jay
and
thank
you
to
everyone.
Who's
been
involved
in
this
to
bring
this
forward,
so
I
just
have
a
question.
So
this
is
sort
of
this
is
a
few
actions
right,
so
it's
approving
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
fund
the
program.
M
M
So
some
of
the
feedback
that
we
got
is
that
businesses
asking
if
the
matching
funds
required
prevailing
wage
for
the
work.
We
believe
that
it
does,
because
it's
city
funds
right
and
so
some
of
the
feedback
that
we
got
was
that
five
thousand
dollars
might
not
be
sufficient,
though
I
know
that
we
had
way
more
applicants
than
we
were
able
to
fund
last
time.
M
So
could
you
just
speak
a
little
bit
to
how
we
selected
that
amount
and
if
you
still
think
it's
appropriate
you're
talking
about
inflation
and
how
far
a
dollar
goes?
You
know
now
versus
years
ago.
So
could
you
just
talk
a
little
bit
about?
If
you
think
the
five
thousand
dollar
amount
is
still
appropriate
a
little
bit
about
prevailing
wage
and
if
you
think
we
got
any
feedback
from
businesses
that
the
amount
should
be
increased
because
of
those
factors.
F
What
we
put
into
the
application
is
that
the
business
is
responsible
for
determining
if
prevailing
wages
are
required,
and
we
put
a
little
bit
of
guidance
in
there
on
projects
of
fifteen
thousand
dollars
and
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
which
may
trigger
prevailing
wage.
So
they
see
some
of
that,
along
with
the
citations
for
prevailing
wage
code.
But
yes
to
offset
prevailing
wage,
the
match
could
be
higher
and
you
know
that
that
could
help.
F
But
then
there
are
other
projects
where
it's
a
sign,
that's
a
couple
thousand
dollars
and
but
then-
and
they
don't
use
the
full
five
thousand
dollars.
So
you
know
it
kind
of
works
in
in
in
both
ways
that
there
are
some
projects
that
could
be
a
little
more
expansive
and
cost
more
and
others
have
just
used
the
programs
for
a
simple
painting,
landscaping
and
work
on
the
on
the
grounds.
F
But
again
you
know,
as
as
what
was
pointed
out
in
the
background
in
the
history
of
the
report,
we
did
have
different
levels
of
programs
that
went
up
to
a
couple.
Hundred
thousand
dollars
for
a
few
programs
and
we're
not
recommending
that
at
this
time,
but
perhaps
a
higher
match,
would
would
be
something
that
would
help
the
program
out.
M
Yeah,
I'm
just
interested
in
that.
I
don't
think
we
can
probably
find
an
answer
to
that
tonight.
I'm
happy
to
approve
it
as
is,
but
I
would
love
to
see
us
invest
in
more
substantial
facade
improvements.
5
000
is
not
a
lot
when
inflation
is,
you
know,
10
percent,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
in
downtown.
I
think
we
also
heard
public
comment
about
vacant,
storefronts
and
sort
of
how
to
how
to
have
think
about
this
program.
L
Thank
you,
mayor
yeah,
I'm
very
supportive
of
this.
I
do
think
we'll
need
more
money.
You
know
in
a
camera
fund.
First
of
all,
I
think
we
really
need
to
40.
Businesses
is
not
probably
sufficient,
and
maybe
maybe
there
is
some
kind
of
match,
because
you
know
I
did
hear
from
one
business
who
paid
to
put
in
cameras
and
now
we're
you
know
we're
not
going
to
reimburse
them
retroactively,
so
I
do
think
maybe
a
joint
investment
might
make
sense,
but
because
that
seems
fairer
and
we
could
help
more
businesses.
L
Right
so
r5,
if
it
is
more,
makes
it
25
or
more
it's
prevailing
wage,
but
if
it's
24
999,
unless
I
don't
believe
it's
prevailing
wage,
so
we
should
be
really
clear
with
businesses
on
that,
because
they
think
some
do
think
that
if
they
take
any
city
money
as
prevailing
wage,
even
if
their
projects
under
25-
and
I
don't
think
that's
what
the
law
is-
but
it
could
have
changed
because
it's
been
a
couple
years
right
when
we
stopped
doing
this,
I
don't
know
if
the
state
law
changed.
So
we
should
check
that.
L
L
M
A
J
I'll
I'll
make
a
motion
and
see
where
it
goes.
I
would
take
staff
recommendation
at
this
point
and
minus
the
vandalism
repair
grant
program
and
asked
staff
to
look
into
an
overall
citywide
program
that
I
mentioned
earlier,
where
you
get
consent
and
that
that
type
of
thing
and
also
the
dollar
amount.
I
think
that
christie
looked
at
in
the
future
to
look
at
that,
but
I
think
the
program
is
will
benefit
the
city.
It
will
benefit
everyone
that
lives
here.
Everyone
that
visits
us.
J
It
will
make
us
a
safe,
hopefully
a
safer
city,
especially
with
cameras
available.
So
the
motion
is
basically
to
approve
recommendation
number
one
approve
recommendation,
number
two:
minus
the
vandalism
repair
program
and
look
at
a
broader
program
for
that
instead
and
then
do
recommendation
number
three
to
authorize
the
city
manager
to
execute
all
documents.
A
M
M
C
May
I
just
ask
a
bit
more:
I
know
that
there
have
been
there's
been
a
series
of
vandalism
and
in
businesses
downtown
specifically
perhaps
in
other
places
as
well,
but
I
guess
what
I'm
curious
about
is
is
if
we're
trying
to
address
the
specific
specific
issues
that
are
that
have
happened
just
recently
or
because
I
we
want
to
prevent
the
problem
from
happening
right.
We
don't.
C
We
don't
want
to
have
u.s
issues
of
vandalism
down
the
line,
and
I
think
I
know
that
the
chief
of
police
has
been
working
on
on
preventing
these
from
happening.
So
I
guess
I
just
I'm
a
little
bit
confused
on
if
this
is
a
very
narrow
scope
in
helping
with
this
particular
acid
tagger
that
caused
significant
damage
or
not.
But
then,
of
course,
I
know
if
they,
if
they
think
they
might
have
caught
the
person
and
usually
there's
restitution
involved
in
cases
like
that.
C
L
Because
I
know
sometimes
I
think
we've
done
it
in
some
places
that
are
in
public,
but
maybe
that
is
what
it's
supposed
to
cover.
You
know
problem
I
mean
it's.
I
understand
the
concern
right.
People
have
insurance
which
they
don't
want
to
use,
understandably
because
their
rates
go
up,
but
I
think
our
putting
in
some
something
towards
it
is
beneficial
right
and
the
reason
I
think
that
is
you
know.
L
L
L
It
looks
bad
and
I
don't
think
I'm
not
sure
that
that's
that
different
in
appearance
when
you
have
that
kind
of
situation
than
a
facade,
that's
not
very
attractive
right
and
that's
where
I'm
I'm
trying
to
understand
and
maybe
mayor
you
can
explain
where
you
see
the
distinction,
because
I'm
very
open
to
this
conversation.
I
just
don't
I'm
not
sure,
I'm
following
the
thinking.
A
A
If
we
take
and
begin
to
say
that,
because
someone
does
not
want
to
access
their
insurance,
that
we
will
step
in
and
provide
the
repairs,
then
we
have.
We
can
either
do
this
as
a
one-off,
where
we
take
care
of
a
small
number
of
businesses
and
then
say
it's
not
going
to
apply
to
everyone
else,
and
I
don't
think
that's
fair
or
we
have
opened
a
door
in
which
why
do
we
limit
it
only
to
businesses?
Why
not
homeowners?
Why
not
automobile
owners?
A
M
Thank
you.
I
had
a
similar
response
to
mayor
pro
tem
garner
about
being
proactive.
So
if
we
have
50
000,
let's
say
allocated
to
combat
vandalism,
you
know
what
is
the
best
way
to
spend
those
dollars.
I
don't
know
if
lieutenant
viegas
is
still
here
or
if
jay
or
the
city
manager
has
input
there,
but
that
was
my
initial
reaction.
Too.
Is
how
do
we
prevent
the
problem
before
it
occurs?
M
Instead
of
you
know
paying
for
the
losses
at
the
end
of
that
chain,
I
mean
we'll
never
be
able
to
end
vandalism
and
society
feels
like
it's
coming
apart.
It
seems
a
little
bit
here,
we're
seeing
all
kinds
of
things
happen,
but
yeah.
If
I
could
just
get
some
staff
either
pspd
or
city
manager,
jay's
reaction.
There
is,
you
know,
50
I
mean,
and
it's
not
one
or
the
other
I
mean
we
can
do
both.
F
Q
Yeah,
I
would
just
add
that
you
could
expand
the
component
of
this
program.
That's
going
down
the
road
of
cameras,
but-
and
this
might
qualify
for
things
like
the
facade
improvement
as
well,
but
we've
talked
to
merchants
about
lighting
about
other
ways
to
impact
environmental
design,
to
make
it
less
likely
that
that
a
business
or
location
would
be
the
victim
of
property
crime.
People
have
even
talked
about
replacing
dense
landscaping
like
hedges,
with
things
that
are
harder
to
hide
behind.
Q
They
could
be
physical
barriers
like
gates.
You
know,
we've
had
conversations
with
places
where
they've
had
theft
about
you
know
the
possibility
of
installing
gates
or
locks
or
other
things.
So
there
might
be
other
kinds
of
investments
that
are
more
about
preventing
that
kind
of
activity,
certainly
not
all
of
it,
but
you
could
consider
those
kinds
of
things.
J
A
Is
very
ill-defined
as
to
are
we
talking
about
going
in
and
repainting
something
that
has
been
graffitied
or
are
we
talking
about
replacing
damage
done
to
beyond
painting
to
facilities?
That's
so
just
my
identification.
That's
way
too
broad
for
me
to
to
be
able
to
to
agree
at
this
hour
that
we're
gonna
expand
into
taking
responsibility
for
every
privately
owned
business
residence
or
what,
in
the
city.
J
J
M
M
C
Oh
sure
I
just
I
just
had
an
idea
since,
since
the
mayor
is
supportive
of
the
funding
being
used,
you
know
generally,
for
the
facade
of
funding
could
be
used
for
anyone
who's
dealing
with
this
damage,
and
we
were
discussing
in
within
the
staff
report
to
provide
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
vandalism
repair.
Could
we
put
that
50
000
towards
the
150
000,
to
increase
it
to
200
000
and
then
just
to
cover
more
businesses
and
make
sure
those
businesses
that
need
the
window
repair
are
getting
it?
K
P
M
J
No,
it's
not.
I
have
to
tell
you
thanks,
grace
and
I'll.
Tell
you
what
comes
up
for
me
if
a
person
wants
to
replace
the
glass
and
make
a
facade
improvement
as
part
of
it,
absolutely
let's
go
for
it
right,
but
just
to
replace
a
broken
piece
of
glass
with
public
money
on
private
property.
You
know,
I'm
not
sure
what
yeah
so,
but
isn't
that
people
break
their
own
glass,
just
a
lot
yeah.
J
So
I
I'm
totally
fine
with
increasing
the
amount
moving
the
amount.
That's
I'm
all
fine
with
I
just
but
just
to
replace
just
the
glass,
but
I
don't
know
how
many
you
know
we
had
a
cannabis
in
my
district
that
was
shot
out
and
it's
still
boarded
up
right,
but
I
don't
know
is
throwing
some
money
at
that
without
a
better.
J
C
J
C
A
N
Q
R
Q
Thank
you.
So
if
you
can
see
my
screen,
we
do
have
an
unusually
long
meeting
schedule
for
the
28th,
that's
in
part
because
you
know
with
no
meetings
scheduled
in
august,
so
I
have
one
question
in
particular:
some
of
these
items
could
always
get
bumped.
I
know
our
housing
element
is
really
tentative,
as
we
continue
to
wait
for
the
state,
but
we
generally
plan
about
four
and
a
quarter
hours.
Q
Q
You
know
it's
meant
to
be
a
master
plan,
so
it's
going
to
look
at
virtually
every
aspect
of
the
airport.
From
a
planning
perspective,
we
considered
bringing
you
the
rfp
just
to
make
sure
it
had
the
appropriate
points
of
emphasis
for
you,
but
we
could
also
proceed
with
maybe
a
shorter
presentation,
so
you
know
what's
involved
there
and
and
certainly
there'll
be
a
prominent
role
for
council
and
the
community
in
the
actual
mass
plan
process.
Q
Q
That's
why
I
mentioned
the
rfp.
I
mean
there's
no
requirement
for
council
to
look
at
it
and
approve
it
before
it
goes
out
and
and
they're
somewhat
standard
right.
It's
an
airport
master
plan
we're
going
to
get
a
qualified
firm,
who
does
airport
master
planning
and
it's
going
to
involve
every
aspect
of
the
airport.
Q
Q
Yes,
occasionally
that
does
lead
to
conflicting
feedback
as
long
as
the
understanding
is
that
that's
feedback
for
staff
to
consider,
but
not
necessarily
to
act
on.
If
council
really
wants
to
give
concrete
direction
and
noting
that
we
can't
really
do
that
through
a
series
of
one-on-one
meetings,
I
would
prefer
to
bring
it
to
council,
but
if
what
you'd
like
is
a
courtesy
review
and
to
share
notes
and
whatever
those
notes
get
incorporated,
we
can
do
it
that
way.
L
Sure
I
know
we
have
sort
of
the
adult
oriented
businesses
on
there,
because
we've
had
a
request
that
probably
from
my
checking
in
with
them
today,
there's
a
the
first
meeting
in
september.
If
you
need
the
time
we
can
have
it,
that's!
Okay!
Okay,
that's
them
just
you
know!
It's
just
there's
a
timing
issue,
but
there
I
I
I
shared
there
would
be
coming
at
the
first
likely
first
meeting
of
september
and
they
said
that
was
fine.
L
So
if
that
frees
up
time,
I'm
fine
on
mayor
pro
time
suggested
in
the
airport.
I
do
want
to.
We
spent
an
hour
before
we
got
to
our
council
meeting
tonight.
So
when
we
have
four
and
a
half
hours
for
meetings,
when
we
said
we
were
going
to
do
no
more
presentations,
we
moved
council
meeting
comments
to
the
end,
so
we
don't
even
do
reports
until
11
o'clock
of
the
things
we're
going
to
our
city
commissions.
L
That
would
be
our
whole
meeting,
and
so
I
don't
ask
for
those,
because
I
thought
we
said
we
weren't
doing
them
anymore,
and
it
was
really
frustrating.
I
mean
there
are
people
sitting
in
chambers,
hearing
that
you
know
covet's
spreading
and
we're
not
and
they're
there
and
spent
an
hour
waiting
to
speak.
That's
really
not
fair
to
our
residents
and
it's
not
fair
to
us.
We
can't
get
through
our
high
priority
items
in
the
time
we
want
to,
and
so
I
really
want
at
our
study
session
when
we're
looking
at
our
work
plan.
L
I
I
don't
think
we
should
ever
have
something
on
the
agenda
unless
it's
urgent,
that
a
majority
council
hasn't
voted
for
if
we
can't
put
on
a
rent
control
ordinance
without
three
of
us
supporting
it.
I
don't
know
why
we
can
have
these
long
presentations
without
three
of
us
supporting
it,
and
I
thought
we
have
decided
that
and
then
we
had
them
again
and
we
decided
it
again,
and
here
we
were
tonight
with
an
hour
of
presentations.
I
know
they
went
long,
but-
and
I
appreciate
the
mayor-
cutting
one
off.
A
A
So
let
me
surface
that
I
had
asked
that
for
july
28
we
have
a
maximum
two
minute
presentation
from
the
red
cross
on
the
work
that
they
had
done
with
using
city
of
palm
springs
funds
that
had
come
in
to
them.
But
I'll
pull
back
on
that
unless
there
is
support
from
a
majority
of
folks
too,
to
allow
them
to
present
for
two
minutes.
L
So
if
they
want
to
speak
in
public
comment
and
do
a
two-minute
presentation-
and
that
would
apply
to
the
other
presentations,
I'm
very
good
with
that
right-
we
can
make
video
available
if
there's
a
non-profit
that
wants
to
present
for
two
minutes.
But
you
know
there
are
several
nonprofits
that
would
love
to
present.
But
you
know
I
don't
think
we
should
continue
to
to
do
that.
It
should
be
part
of
public
comment
now
if
there's
something
the
city
manager
needs
to
present.
Like
you
know,
our
wastewater
numbers
went
up
500
in
a
month.
L
That
seems
important
and
we
should
put
it
on
the
agenda.
But-
and
I
appreciate
we
have
some
of
the
presentations-
obviously
not
all
of
them
on
this
agenda,
but
I
don't
think
any
of
those
are
as
important
as
actually
the
work
that
we're
trying
to
do
all
right
and
we're
cutting
things
that
we
work,
we're
going
to
do
we're
going
to
push
off
until
september
because
we're
doing
presentations,
and
that
makes
no
sense
to
continue
in
my
view.
C
Yeah
along
those
lines,
I
think
you
know
I
at
the
study
session,
I
talked
a
lot
about
the
presentations
and
and
wanting
them
cut
as
well
in
in
terms
of
presentations.
I
just
want
to.
I
think
I
said
this
on
study
session
as
well.
I
would
really
really
like
to
see
us
put
this
stuff
on
channel
17
when
we're
not
having
a
council
meeting.
C
I
think
it's
a
really
great
use
of
channel
17
is
an
underutilized
resource
and
people
do
turn
it
on
and
if
they're
seeing
relevant
kind
of
psa
information
from
organizations
and
stuff,
it
could
be
a
really
great
thing.
We
could
even
charge
a
nominal
fee
to
cover
the
cost.
I
mean
there's
ways
to
make
this
really
productive
for
our
residents
and
and
for
our
organizations
and
then
give
us
more
time,
because
I
agree
we
we
can
really
get
in
the
weeds
with
presentations.
M
Thank
you,
I
don't
mean
to
beat
it
at
horse,
but
I
completely
agree
with
council
member
courses
comments
and
it's
so
hard,
and
I,
when
I
was
mayor
you
know
I
allowed
a
lot
of
presentations
like
it's
just
really
hard.
You
get
a
lot
of
requests,
and
so
I
love
mayor
pro
tem
solution
to
funnel
those
into
psas
or
opportunities
to
be
on
our
youtube
or
channel
17,
I
think,
is
a
great
solution,
so
I
fully
support
that
but
yeah.
D
A
A
A
L
Q
Q
But,
given
the
public
comment,
I
think
it
could
add
an
hour
to
the
meeting,
and
so
we
would
just
need
to
provide
for
some
space
for
that
which
would
likely
mean
deferring
the
housing
element
element
in
addition
to
the
airport
rfp,
which
may
be
deferred
anyway
or
may
be
acceptable
to
defer.
Since
we've
been
waiting
this
long
from
the
state
anyway,
so
we
could
probably
find
a
way
to
accommodate
it,
but
that
that
would
be
the
implication.
C
Thank
you.
I
will
say
that
this
is
something
we
discussed
during
our
our
study
session
on
vacation
rentals
and
at
that
time
there
did
seem
to
be
interest
in
a
moratorium.
While
we
discussed
the
issue
more
fully
and
while
we
figured
out
if
there
were
going
to
be
any
changes,
and
I
think
that
there
was
direction
that
it
should
come
back
to
council-
I'm
not
really
sure
what
happened
to
that.
So
to
me
this
would
be
continuing
what
we
we
asked
for
at
our
study
session.
Unless
someone
remembers
differently-
or
maybe
it
didn't
happen,.
Q
My
recollection
is
that
it
was
discussed
and
that
there
was
even
at
some
point
between
meetings,
some
preliminary
review
of
data
and
some
initial
confusion
on
whether
permits
were
increasing
at
an
abnormal
rate,
because
it's
especially
difficult
to
look
at
new
applications,
because
a
lot
of
those
are
renewals
and
they
they
come
at
different
times
of
the
year.
Looking
at
the
total
number
of
permits
is
a
much
better
indicator
anyway,
that
the
the
result
was
not
to
bring
it
back
and
not
to
pursue
a
moratorium.
So
this
is
a
renewed
conversation
on
that
initiative.
L
L
L
L
L
Is
your
question
is
your
request
that
we
talk
about
a
moratorium
on
vacation
rental
permits
or
on
vacation
rental
and
home
share
permits?
Just
so
it's
clear
for
staff
councilmember,
which
doesn't
have
to
wait
and
if
he
doesn't
want
it
regardless,
but
I
just
wanted
to
raise
that
if
we're
going
to
bring
it
forward
because
I've
only
heard
it
about
vacation
rental
permits
not
home,
share
permits
which
are
a
different
beast,
I
don't
mean
beast.
A
M
Thank
you,
I'm
not
opposed
to
the
discussion.
I
do
have
concerns
about
what
it'll
do
to
the
market
and
sort
of
the
flood
of
just
the
fear
that
then
enters
the
market
and
has
people
buying
up
things
quickly.
So
I'm
a
little
bit
of
concerned
about
that.
You
know
our
temporary
mortgage
firms
have
been
a
year
two
years.
I
typically
do
not
like
to
do
temporary
moratoriums
from
a
point
of
public
policy.
M
I
remember
I
had
problems
with
that
with
even
the
golf
course
moratorium,
which
I
ended
up,
supporting,
of
course,
but
temporary
moratoriums
tend
to
then
be
extended
and
extended.
It
takes
us
a
long
time.
I
think
that
there
are
issues
that
are
urgent
in
our
housing
market
that
we
significantly
seriously
need
to
address,
and
maybe
this
is
one
you
know
I'm.
M
I
don't
have
the
data
in
front
of
me
to
assess
that,
but,
like
other
things
that
we've
talked
about
relocation
assistance,
tenant
protections,
you
know
other
affordable
housing,
I
mean
just
how
does
it
fall
in
the
priorities?
And
it's
it's?
You
know
it's
just
it's
just
hard
to
take
some
of
those
things
away
to
do.
This
is
what
I'm
struggling
with
like.
How
far
will
that
set
us
behind
I'm
not
opposed
to
the
conversation.
I
think
it's
an
important
one.
L
L
C
C
S
M
And
having
it
at
the
very
last
agenda
item,
which
makes
sense,
I
guess,
but
it's
hard.
I
just
have
a
request:
we've
gotten
a
number
of
requests.
I
think
I've
raised
this
at
a
few
council
meetings
about
block
g
downtown
that
the
city
owns
it
it's
next
to
our
new
downtown
park
and
it
is
fenced
in
like
a
construction
site
and
looks
horrible
and
we've
gotten
a
number
of
requests
to
fix
it.
I
really
detracts
from
the
downtown
and
from
our
park,
so
I
was
told
to
ask
council
to
agendize.
M
Q
So
I
I
think
the
the
quick
thing
that
we
could
do
that
we've
discussed
is
replacing
it
with
nicer
fencing.
I'm
not
sure
that
there's
something
so
small
that
it
doesn't
interfere
with
our
capital
agenda,
but
substantial
enough
that
it
addresses
the
concern
of
the
way
the
property
looks.
There's
concrete,
there's
rebar
there's
you
know,
there's
a
lot
going
on
and
even
landscaping,
maybe
hardscaping
rocks
and
things
like
that
would
be
easy.
But
I
think
that
would
be.
J
I
I
think
councilmember
holds
just
bringing
that
up.
We
already
gave
that
direction
and
I
think
we
gave
that
to
staff
to
do
and-
and
I
you
know
it's
just
about
implementing
and
coming
up
with
solutions-
I
don't
think
we
need
to
have
a
action
night
on
them,
but
but
it's
gonna
sit
there
for
years
and
years
because
we're
making
no
movement
on
what
we
want
to
do
with
it.
We've
not
done
any
feasibility
studies
of
who
might
want
it
or
we're
going
to
build
on
it.
M
I
agree,
but
I
think
that
we
need
to
give
more
direction
or
choose
priorities
or
you
know,
staff
is
overloaded
with
what
we've
already
given
them.
I
think
that
there
should
be
intermediary
options,
but
yeah.
It
sounds
like
it's
more
work,
but
city
manager.
You
tell
us
what
what
you
need
and
what
we
can
make
happen.
I
don't
think
july
is
it's
urgent.
You
know
it's
slower
in
summer,
it'd
be
great
to
have
something
better.
S
M
Fall
when
it
our
tourism
season
opens
up
again,
I
don't
like
the
idea
of
just
having
nicer
fencing.
I
know
we
got
a
request
from
oswit
land
trust
to
possibly
put
in
native
landscaping
yeah,
I
haven't
seen
the
site.
So
if
there's
rebar
and
other
problems,
you
know
that's
a
whole
nother
thing,
but
it
sounds
like
there
might
be
others
who
can
do
the
work,
so
it
doesn't
have
to
just
primarily
be
on
city
staff
or
engineering
to
move
the
project.
Q
A
real
intermediary
thing
that
is
simple,
is
probably
trying
to
remove
all
of
the
obstacles
spread.
Some
dg
around
put
in
a
few
rocks
and
a
few
benches,
but
nothing
very
elaborate
and
hope
that
it
doesn't
look
too
sparse
right,
but
but
but
also
to
preserve
the
ability
to
do
something
else
with
the
parcel
in
the
future,
without
investing
a
lot
and
having
sunk
costs
in
land,
you
know
real
landscaping,
vegetation,
irrigation
systems
and
everything
that's
entailed
with
that.
Q
If
it
might
come
out
to,
you
know,
have
a
different
use
in
the
future,
so
I
can
certainly
talk
to
the
team
about
those
options.
I
think
the
direction
we
got
from
council
is
to
include
it
in
the
budget.
That's
a
different
thing
from
trying
to
address
the
immediate
concern
and
and
prioritize
that
project.
Q
Oh,
you
know,
while
we're
also
trying
to
move
forward
on
a
navigation
center
at
really
like
light
lightning
speed
faster
than
we've
ever
done
a
project
and
then
some
other
things
that
are
really
just
priorities
that
are
at
the
top
of
the
list.
So
it's
just
a
matter
of
trying
to
fit
that
in
to
do
it
sooner
rather
than
later
and
again
find
the
balance
between
making
it
a
small
enough
project
that
we
can
manage
it,
but
but
satisfying
the
desire
to
make
it
look
nicer.
M
M
M
I
mean
it's
our
job
to
say
this
shouldn't
be
very
involved.
Please
get
it
done
and
it's
your
job
to
say.
Here's
all
the
things
that
it
takes
and
those
are
our
different
roles
and
that's
the
tension
in
the
people
wanting
immediate
results
in
government,
not
giving
immediate
results.
So
here
we
are,
but
I
appreciate
your
work
and
we're
going
to
keep
getting
those
calls
until
something
is
there
instead
of
an
ugly
fence.
A
I'm
not
sure
if
my
screen's
frozen
or
just
that
nobody
was
shaking
their
heads.
Yes,
so
with
that,
I
think
we
have
reached
the
end
of
this
meeting
and
at
11
27
pm.
We
will
adjourn
the
next
regular
city
council
meeting
will
be
held
on
july
28
2022,
starting
at
5
30
pm,
please
be
safe
out
there.
Everyone.
