A
F
Hoping
to
get
some
direction
from
staff
on
the
election
of
the
chair
and
vice
chair
and
perhaps
dr.
Reddy
I,
can
put
you
on
the
the
the
spot
on
this
I
had
noticed
that
on
tomorrow's
agenda,
the
council
will
be
asked
to
vote
on
a
resolution
to
extend
the
terms
of
the
chair
and
vice-chair
until
December
31st,
and
that's
consistent
with
the
extra
recruiting
efforts
that
the
city
is
making
it's
extended.
The
terms
so
I
wasn't
clear
as
to
whether
that
was
appropriate
for
us
to
be
voting
on
now.
F
G
A
A
Right
so
then,
I
think
we
are
voting
on
our
amended
agenda,
are
just
at
agenda,
eliminating
item
B.
So
all
in
favor
of
our
agenda,
eliminating
item
B
say
yes,
yes
opposed,
say
no
and
we
have
an
agenda.
Thank
you
very
much.
Jay
burrata
is
unable
to
be
with
us
tonight
and
we're
delighted
to
have
city
manager.
G
Thank
You
mr.
chair
yeah,
a
couple
things
I
did
just
want
to
note.
I
wanted
to
give
you
an
update
on
on
the
manager's
position.
The
position
is
posted
I
think
we
have
about
eight
applications
so
far,
one
leave
it
up
another
one
to
two
weeks
see
the
universe
of
applications,
and
at
that
point
we'll
start
the
review
and
mr.
Chairman
I
would
ask
if
there's
a
subcommittee
of
this
group
that
would
like
to
join
me
in
that
process
to
go
through
the
applications
and
then
the
interview
that
would
be
very
helpful.
G
That's
one
and
then
also
I
just
wanted
to.
Let
you
know
that
a
couple
things
I
wanted
to
get
back
and
engage
with
you
to
the
extent
of
helping
to
re-energize
some
of
the
issues
things
that
you're
doing
then
I
can
help,
give
it
a
little
extra
lift,
perhaps
with
some
other
city
resources.
So,
for
example,
and
Amy
is
going
to
be
talking
to
you
a
little
later
on
your
agenda
on
the
brochure
on
the
AQMD
and
the
leaf
blowing.
G
What
council's
direction
is
because
they
want
us
to
the
extent
possible
to
use
all
the
resources
we
have
to
help.
You
do
your
mission,
because,
obviously
these
are
important
issues
citywide.
So
so,
for
example,
like
the
brochure
Amy's
gonna,
give
you
some
some
ideas,
we
had
some
professional
communication
company.
Take
a
look
at
the
brochure.
How
do
we
make
it
better?
G
So
I
think
we
can
do
a
better
job.
It
our
end
of
City
Hall,
to
help
you
with
the
resources
you
have.
That
being
said,
I
also
want
to
start
taking
a
look
at
now.
We're
get
a
manager.
Other
administrative
resources
that
I
can
use
to
help
you
so
I'm,
looking
through
that
now,
mr.
chairman
and
I'll
be
happy
to
share
that
with
the
Commission
to
see
how
we
can
help
you
with
some
other
administrative
resource.
Do
the
things
on
your
agenda,
okay,
and
by
the
way
so
and
since
J
was,
is
not
here
today.
G
Also
assistant,
city
manager,
Marcus
fuller
is
here,
and
he
may
be
able
to
help
you
on
some
of
your
agenda
items
here,
but
again,
I
want
to
be
able
to
have
staff,
be
at
more
administrative
resources
for
you,
so
I'm
going
to
start
getting
more
engaged
in
the
group
and
look
forward
to
that
coming
forward.
Okay,.
G
Gonna
stretch
in
ways
you
know
think
about
this,
so
obviously
we've
got
both.
You
know
we're
doing
bilingual
notices.
We're
going
to
deal
with
that.
We're
gonna
deal
with
you
know:
do
they
have
our
business
licenses?
Do
they
have
you
know
we're
gonna
reach
out
to
all
the
other
resources.
Also
like
si
bag
has
a
good
when
they
were
doing
what
they
were
doing
with
the
scalping,
the
non
scalping
they
had.
A
D
I've
had
a
couple
conversations
with
with
Jay
regarding
item
number,
two
on
our
master
plan
having
to
do
with
sustainable
economy,
and
there
doesn't
seem
to
be
a
program
that
is
specific
to
encompassing
that,
and
it
has
apparently
been
hailed.
You
find,
if
not
defined
at
all,
I
just
became
aware
that
there
is
a
Workforce
Development
Director,
our
economic
development
administrator
here,
Kathy
Van
Horn
had
a
conversation
with
her,
but
apparently
her
role
is
primarily
as
a
liaison
to
the
county.
D
So
in
terms
of
my
background
and
what
I
had
hoped
to
contribute
on,
this
commission
is
in
the
area
of
sustainable
economy.
So
maybe
you
can
talk
with
your
staff
about
what
that
looks
like
and
how
I
might
participate
in
helping
us
achieve
that
very
little
direction
about
what
that
means.
That's
going
I
think.
G
G
You
know
so
there's
a
lot
of
issues
and
complexities
and
and
I'm
not
really
sure
how
to
approach
that,
but
part
of
the
engagement
I
need.
You
know
when
we
get
the
manager
back
on
board
is
okay.
How
do
we
tackle
some
of
those
tough
questions?
You
know
what's
the
next
step
and
the
next
step
after
that
and
and
I
honestly,
don't
know
that
answer,
but
I'm
willing,
certainly
to
work
with
you
to
do
that
and
get
you
the
resources
to
try
to
find
some
of
those
next
steps.
Yeah.
B
A
A
I'm,
looking
about
I,
don't
see
another
Commission
representative
present
Parks
and
Rec,
or
anyone
planning
who
would
be
here
to
make
a
report
and
we
are
without
a
student
liaison
at
the
present
time.
So
I
think
we
are
at
public
comments
at
each
meeting
of
the
sustainability
Commission.
We
set
aside
time
for
members
of
the
public
to
address
the
Commission
on
items
that
are
generally
related
to
our
responsibilities
and
sustainability.
A
A
All
right,
that's
fine!
We'll
declare
public
comment.
Closed,
I!
Don't
believe
that
there's
anyone
other
than
a
me.
We
want
to
welcome
you
just
introduce
you
to
the
Commission
Amy
Blaisdell,
who
is
your
title
director
of
communications,
yes
for
the
city
of
Palm
Springs,
so
we're
looking
forward
to
having
you
speak
to
us
later
in
the
agenda,
so
welcome.
Welcome
to
this
afternoon
we
have
eliminated
item
B
from
the
agenda,
and
so
we
are
at
our
presentations
and
we
have
Laura
and
Brigham
ins,
who
is
here
tonight
for
our
presentation.
I
Good
afternoon,
thank
you
for
the
time
my
name
is
Lauren
Bruggeman
and
I'm.
The
founding
executive
director
of
the
Zumba
hospitality
foundation.
Just
a
brief
introduction
of
me.
I'm
I'm,
a
Palm
Springs
high
school
graduate
I,
went
to
UC
San
Diego
and
I
have
a
degree
in
international
politics.
My
mom
Joanne
works
in
the
planning
department
here
in
the
city
and
my
father.
I
So
Zumba
is
an
upcoming
tourism
destination.
Indonesia,
it's
a
beautiful
island.
As
I
said.
That's
mentioned,
that's
located
in
the
East.
It's
about
eleven
thousand
square
kilometres
forty-five
minutes
flight
from
Bali,
which
most
people
know
it's
a
beautiful
island.
It's
developing
and
people
see
it
as
an
antidote
to
Bali,
which
they
see
as
overcrowded
and
a
bit
over
developed.
Our
founder
Inga
had
that
opportunity
to
visit
Zumba
in
2013
and
she
was
struck
by
its
natural
beauty
but
at
the
same
time
saddened
to
see
the
poverty
there
and
because
it
was
an
emerging
tourism
destination.
I
I
The
Zumba
Hospitality
Foundation
has
three
concentrations:
education,
empowerment
and
sustainability.
On
the
education
side,
we
run
a
school,
a
one-year
program
for
17
to
23
year
olds,
as
I
mentioned,
underprivileged
Young
Sumbanese
that
come
from
the
four
regions
of
Zumba
half
boys
half
girls.
The
first
year
we
had
40
students
the
second
year
48,
and
this
year
we
have
60
students,
as
I
mentioned.
I
Hospitality
is
the
focus,
so
we
train
in
the
five
operational
department,
so
culinary
restaurant
and
bar
housekeeping
front
office
and
we've
just
added
a
spa
department,
but
it's
a
holistic
educational
program
and
that
they
have
intensive
English
courses
that
are
tailored
to
their
level.
We
also
teach
them
permaculture
and
environmental
awareness,
and
finally,
they
get
a
life
skills
course,
which
is
about
empowerment,
critical
skill,
critical
thinking,
job
skills,
job
training,
emotional
intelligence,
things
like
that
it
is
a
boarding
school,
so
they
do
live
in
a
campus
in
an
international
and
an
immersive
environment.
I
And
then
next
empowerment
was
very
important
for
us.
So
things
like
putting
on
workshops
for
our
local
community,
putting
on
an
English
class
for
our
local
community
and
then
finally,
sustainability,
which
is
a
buzzword
in
in
the
world
that
we
live
in
now.
But
it
was
very
important
to
us,
and
so
we
tried
to
be
sustainable
in
three
ways.
Firstly,
environmental
sustainability.
The
campus
has
built
all
in
bamboo
and
other
sustainable
materials.
I
I
We
also
have
two
hectares
of
a
permaculture
farm,
an
organic
farm
as
well
as
a
nursery,
a
seed
shed,
and
we
make
our
own
compost,
so
we
also
eat
from
our
garden
as
well
the
next
socio-cultural
sustainability.
It's
it's
really
important
for
us
to
preserve
and
nurture
our
students.
Cultural
identity.
That's
part
of
its
part
of
sustainable
tourism
is
to
make
sure
that
they're,
their
local
culture
doesn't
get
forgotten
and
gets
celebrated.
I
We
also,
as
I
mentioned,
we
accept
students
from
all
the
four
regions
of
Summa,
so
they
are
able
as
well
to
coexist
and
learn
about
each
other's
regions,
and
we
also
participate
in
local
festivals
and
events
where
there
cultural
is
celebrated
as
well
and
finally,
economic
sustainability.
So
the
other
piece
of
our
foundation
is,
we
also
run
an
eco
resort
on
our
campus
so
that
our
students
can
practically
apply
their
knowledge
in
hospitality
right
away.
I
We
have
nine
guest
rooms,
a
restaurant
and
bar
and
a
spa
so
in
that
way
we're
a
hybrid
social
business,
we're
not-for-profit,
but
any
money
that
we
make
from
our
eco
resort
goes
directly
back
into
the
foundation
and
contributes
to
our
operating
budget
low.
A
ninety
percent
of
our
staff
is
from
the
local
community
and
just
by
the
students
attending
the
program
going
through
the
one-year
program
with
us
on
campus
and
then
doing
a
seven
month.
I
Internship
at
a
five-star
hotel
or
restaurant
in
Bali
or
Zumba
improves
their
economic
future
already,
so
our
first
class
95%
of
them
have
time
employment.
At
this
time.
The
second
class
are
in
their
seven-month
internships
and
then,
as
I
mentioned,
we
have
our
60
students
there
in
their
first
month
of
class.
Now
they
started
July
1st.
I
The
other
project
of
the
foundation
was
to
start
a
sustainable
tourism.
Development
coalition,
as
I
mentioned
Simba,
is
on
the
cusp
of
tourism
development,
but
we
didn't
want
it
to
go
the
way
of
places
like
Bali,
which
are
still
very
beautiful
and
wonderful,
but
are
experiencing
problems
with
the
environment,
with
local
people
losing
their
culture
losing
power
and
water,
and
we
thought
that
sumo
was
at
this
critical
moment
that
we
hope
to
be
a
platform
and
to
help
guide
sustainable
tourism.
I
I
That's
this
includes
some
having
tour
guide,
trainings
and
also
trainings
for
local
villages
too,
to
have
home
stays
in
their
villages
so
that
they
really
take
part
in
the
in
in
tourism
that
that's
coming,
I
I'm
almost
done,
but
I
just
I
wanted
to
to
share
a
story
about
one
of
our
students.
Her
name
is
Annie
mata
Mata
Connie
Annie
was
from
our
first
class
she's
one
of
11
children.
I
Her
parents
are
farmers
and
they're
their
average
income
is
about
$18
a
month
and
Annie
would
work
every
day
after
school
when
school
would
let
out
at
about
one
o'clock
and
she
would
work
in
the
fields
and
she
would
make
about
enough
when
enough
she'd
make
enough
to
cover
rice
and
vegetables
for
her
family.
For
the
day,
Annie's
sister
was
sent
away
at
12
years
old
to
Jakarta,
to
be
a
domestic
worker
and
was
gone
for
a
number
of
years,
and
they
didn't
hear
from
her.
I
A
A
J
I
It
was,
it
was
the
first
year
and
I
think
you
know
we
just
her
mother
was
unsure
about
what
we
were
all
about.
That
was
that
was
part
of
it.
It
does
happen,
though,
as
well
that
there
is
opposition
in
the
sense
in
Sumba.
They
have
very
large
families
and
their
families
all
work
on
their
farmland.
So
it's
also
a
sell
in
the
sense
of
ear.
You
know
taking
one
of
their
their
children,
but
there
are
their
workers
away
for
for
a
year
or
more
so
that's
part
of
it.
Yeah.
D
This
story,
so
thank
you
for
bringing
it
here
and
sharing
it.
So
I've
got
a
couple
questions
for
you,
because
this
is
an
area
I'm
very
interested
in
one
is:
are
you
aside
from
just
sharing
the
the
information
looking
for
some
kind
of
connection
with
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
that
we
might
be
able
to
facilitate.
I
Absolutely
I
don't
know
in
what
waves
specifically
but
I
would
love.
I
would
be
very
open
to
talk
about
the
ways
in
which
in
which
we
could
work
together
or
the
synergies.
D
Sustainable
tourism
is
something
that
we're
interested
in
here.
I
am
personally
as
well,
but
to
develop
that
kind
of
a
program
I
mean
the
infrastructure.
Here
is
a
lot
differently
and
I
recognize
that
and
we
probably
have
more
advantages
and
getting
it
started,
but
I've
been
very
interested
in
learning
more
about
some
of
your
approaches,
particularly
on
the
cultural
side
of
it.
I
think
it's
fascinating.
So
is
there
a
way
to
get
more
information
to
see
if
we
could
match
some
of
the
things
that
you've
accomplished
there
with?
Maybe
the
infrastructure
we've
got
here
sure.
I
A
Well,
after
that
inspiring
item,
we
have
approval
of
the
minutes,
not
a
very
exciting
thing.
Our
meeting
minutes
of
June
19th
were
emailed
to
you
by
Dan
and
I.
Think
a
couple
of
minor
Corrections
is
there
a
motion
that
we
accept
the
June
19
regular
meeting
minutes
is
presented
so
move
by
Commissioner
Santora
second
by
Commissioner
got
here
all
in
favor
say
yes,
yes,.
E
A
A
You've
helped
us
move
the
agenda
along.
Thank
you,
sir,
and
as
I
sit
here,
Marcus
fuller,
I
realize
you've
been
a
regular
part
of
our
meetings.
So
often
the
past
I
didn't
introduce
you
to
the
group,
but
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
assistant
city
manager,
Marcus
fuller,
he
is
here.
Did
you
have
anything
you
wanted
to
say
tonight?
A
Okay,
all
right,
all
right!
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
didn't
mean
to
exclude
you
from
from
introductions
all
right.
We
are
I,
think
at
old
business
and
the
first
one
please
come
up.
Amy
and
join
us
is
the
status
of
our
leaf
blower
brochure
and
how
we
are
going
to
make
sure
that
that
information
about
the
new
city
ordinance
is
communicated
well
to
people
who
need
to
know
in
advance
of
the
January
1
implementation
of
that
ordinance.
H
Can
you
hear
me
I'm,
Amy,
Blaisdell
and
I'm
the
communications
director
for
the
city?
As
chairman
Jackson
mentioned,
the
reason
I'm
here
is
councilmember
Coors
your
liaison
and
the
city
manager
asked
me
to
work
with
our
communications
firm
to
come
up
with
a
professional
marketing
campaign
to
get
the
word
out
about
the
ordinance
and
the
changes
coming
on
the
first.
So
that's
exactly
what
we're
doing
what
we've
done
is.
H
What
we're
planning
on
doing
to
really
reach
out
to
the
community
is
a
mailer
two
landscapers
two
businesses
we're
going
to
partner
with
C
vagus
the
city
manager,
mentioned
to
really
make
sure
that
they
understand.
What's
coming,
we're,
also
working
on
putting
together
a
workshop
which
will
be
at
the
end
of
September.
H
H
H
Know
that's
a
good
idea.
We
we
were
planning
on
doing
a
little
bit
more
print,
but
we
could
certainly
look
into
that.
We've
also
considered
bus
shelters
because
we
do
get
a
when
when
sun
line
has
available
bus
shelters,
we
have
the
ability
to
use
those
so
I
will.
Let
him
know
that
you
recommended
that.
H
I,
don't
think
it'll
be
all
of
the
city
residences
it'll.
We're
still
did
we're
still
determining
how
we're
gonna
do
this,
but
more
than
likely
it
will
be.
Landscapers
will
be
partnering
with
sivak
to
reach
out
to
all
of
the
landscapers
and
then
we're
going
to
have
councilmember
and
businesses
and
then,
in
terms
of
the
residents,
we're
going
to
have
councilmember
Coors
liaison
with
one
PS
to
really
get
the
word
out
through
the
neighborhoods
and
we'll
be
doing
lots
of
media
press
releases,
lots
of
social
media.
H
A
H
B
B
H
And
I
think
a
lot
of
it
is
just
public
education
and
that's
what
we're
really
trying
to
do
is
get
get
out
there
and
really
get
them
engaged
and
and
I
think
that
will
help
with
our
person
that's
going
to
be
out
there
in
the
community.
You
know
speaking
Spanish
we're
also
going
to
be,
as
I
mentioned,
we're
really
going
to
be
working
with
the
local
media
to
help
us
get
this
out
to
the
community,
Telemundo
and
I
think.
Hopefully
that
will
help.
H
Mean
absolutely
yes,
in
fact,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
aware
that
they
can
exchange
throughout
the
year,
and
you
know
that
they
that
they
know
that
that's
available
for
them,
so
it'll
all
be
sort
of
packaged
together
in
the
same
information.
Whether
well
as
I
mentioned,
will
be
a
brochure
and
it
will
be
a
mailer
I.
H
H
Can
pass
that
on
the
goal
is
that
first
week
in
September,
we'll
have
one
of
our
council
members
likely
councilmember
cords
at
the
meeting
to
bring
the
brochures
and
some
of
the
information
so
that
we
can
really
get
it
out
to
the
neighborhood,
reps
and
Denise.
Our
neighborhood
manager
is
really
helpful
with
that
too,
because
we
can
really
post
that
in
next
door
we
have
13,000
residents
on
next
door
and
it's
a
really
powerful
way
to
get
the
word
out.
H
H
H
A
C
H
Have
them
here
so
I
can
pass
them
around
there's
two
different
ones
and
then
I'll
pass
them
around.
This
is
the
first
one.
It
says
no
more
gas-powered
leaf
blowers
and
then
we
have
it
in
Spanish
as
well
as
I
mentioned.
This
is
just
a
core
concept:
it.
What
we
send
out.
This
won't
be
it
but
it'll,
look
very
similar
to
this.
With
the
same
messaging
it'll,
be
a
brochure
and
it'll
be
a
mailer,
so
I'll
pass
this
one
around
and
then
this
is
the
other
one.
No
more
gas-powered
leaf.
H
H
H
H
E
A
H
E
E
H
A
A
H
Like
I
said,
these
are
just
sort
of
visual
visual,
core
concepts
of
the
colors
color
schemes
and
what
it'll
look
like
so
we're
determining
which
one
we
like
and
I'll,
probably
forward
this
to.
You
know
our
liaison
council
member.
Of
course,
he
hasn't
seen
these
yet,
along
with
the
city
manager
and
we'd
love
your
input.
Okay,.
J
H
A
You
Amy
all
right.
That's
a
lot
of
good
information.
Okay,
we're
at
old
business
item
2,
which
is
we
had.
We
had
said
that
we
wanted
to
come
back
in
July
and
talk
about
the
proposed
ordinance
regarding
clean
air,
smoking
and
tobacco
use,
and
we
wanted
to
cue
that
up
when
Commissioner
Baker
could
be
present
with
us
for
more
information.
Yes,.
B
B
C
Of
months
ago,
so
then
there's
no
other
questions
with
that
correct,
okay.
So,
as
far
as
the
city
ordinance
goes,
so
we
weren't
able
to
be
here
in
May.
We
were
out
of
state
and
we
reviewed
the
panel
discussion,
the
commissioners
discussions-
and
there
was
some
noted
misunderstandings
of
what's
in
the
proposed
city
ordinance.
For
example,
there
was
questions
about
whether
this
involved
only
patios
no
smoking
on
patios
of
restaurant
of
bars
or
bars,
restaurants
or
bars,
restaurants
and
any
other
business
with
patios.
C
It
does
include
patios
on
all
types
of
businesses,
and
that
was
a
noted
misunderstanding.
So
those
are
some
questions
we
wanted
to
address.
There
were
some
questions
we
didn't
quite
understand.
There
was
concerns
about
the
homeless
and
how
multi-family
housing
restrictions
might
affect
the
homeless.
We
wanted
to
ask
if
some,
if
that
could
be
explained
a
little
bit
more
to
us,
so
that
we
could
address
it,
because
we
didn't
quite
understand
the
connection
it.
A
It's
not
the
homeless,
it
was
a
sense
that
enacting
a
restrictive
ordinance
that
prohibited
smoking
in
apartment
buildings,
in
particular,
and
within
the
apartment
building
and
in
common
areas
of
the
apartment.
Building
that,
if
we
enacted
that
we
would
be,
in
effect
in
some
way,
disparaging
lower
income
persons
who,
who
might
necessarily
be
living
in
apartments
versus
a
private
residence
there
was
some
is
that
am
I
articulate
so.
B
Yeah,
so
the
distinction
is
between
multifamily
dwellings
and
single-family
homes
it
on
its
face.
It
can
appear
that
you're
rewarding
those
who
have
the
choice
and
the
resources
to
own
or
rent
a
single-family
dwelling
versus
penalizing
those
who
either
choose
or
can
only
afford
to
live
in
a
multi-family
dwelling
that
was
sort
of
the
battle
of
thought.
There.
C
C
B
B
C
Well,
to
address
the
marijuana
you
kind
of
did
because
that's
only
one
way
to
consume
it
and
in
fact
it's
the
one
way
that
is
dangerous
and
response.
Physicians
would
never
recommend,
because
when
you
burn
something
you
carbonize,
it
turn
it
into
carcinogen.
So
that's
the
only
dangerous
way
to
consume
marijuana
and,
as
far
as
medical
marijuana
goes,
there
are
many
products
and
those
are
very
controlled
doses
and
there
the
state
also
controls
the
quantity
of
THC
that
can
be
in
them,
which,
as
a
Bob
you're
better
at
this
than
I
am.
C
B
C
C
One
of
the
other
comments
I
want
to
make
about.
It
is
there's
two
sides
to
every
argument.
So,
of
course,
there's
the
argument
that
those
who
would
prefer
to
smoke
whether
it
be
tobacco
or
or
cannabis,
but
then
there's
also
those
who
do
not
smoke
and
choose
not
to
who
are
also
living
in
multifamily
housing
which
actually,
in
the
state
of
California,
outnumber
9
to
1.
Those
who
smoke
smoke
cannot
contained
and
it
does
affect
others.
C
So
one
person's
rights
and
we're
another's
begin
and
when
that
smoke
goes
beyond
that
one
person
who
chooses
to
use
it
there,
then
violating
someone
else
and
they're
putting
them
at
risk,
whether
it's
cannabis
smoke
or
tobacco
smoke
or
some
other
type
of
smoke,
and
so
we're
here
talking
about
tobacco
smoke
and
all
of
us
sitting
around
this
table
we're
all
neighbors.
We
all
volunteer,
because
we
care
about
responsible
stewardship
and
I
want
to
keep
that
in
mind
for
myself
and
I
hope.
C
Others
do
as
well
that
that's
the
focus
here
what's
responsible
stewardship
and
protecting
people
from
the
the
lives,
health
and
wellness
of
others
is
really
important.
So,
yes,
there's
some
who
might
feel
it's
restrictive
to
not
permit
in
multifamily
housing.
This
is
a
smoking
of
tobacco
and
which
includes
marijuana,
there's
also
all
those
other
people
who
need
our
protection
and
that's
important
to
think
about.
C
If
I
could
go
back
to
the
the
the
HUD
housing
that
you
were
talking
about,
it
did
go
into
effect
in
17,
but
they
just
came
out
this
last
week
with
a
with
a
reiteration
of
that
and
they're
I
think
it's
the
end
of
this
month
that
they
are
reeling
knuckling
down
on
it
and
if
a
resident
is
caught,
smoking
in
HUD
housing,
subsidized
housing
like
that
they're
out,
they
get
evicted
and
they
lose
their
right.
There.
C
A
F
Called
private
right
of
action
and
I'm
not
aware
and
I,
probably
spent
way
too
much
time
with
the
Municipal
Code
I'm,
not
aware
of
any
other
provision
of
the
Palm
Springs
Municipal
Code.
That
will
allow
an
under
city
law
for
someone
to
sue
someone,
I
guess
in
Riverside,
County
Court
I'm,
not
even
sure
that
there
is
a
jurisdiction
there,
because
we
don't
have
any
courts
here
and
in
Palm
Springs,
so
I
guess
we
go
to
county
court,
so
I
would
I'm
not
sure
to
to
what
extent
that's
a
material
part
of
your
ordinance.
F
But
it
does
give
me
some
concern.
So
when
I
assume
it's
coming
back
to
us
so
of
an
actual
text
but
which
perhaps
you
know
ask
you
to
do
some
more
research
on
that
issue,
so
that
we're
aware
of
what
the
consequences
would
be.
I
think
that
the
chamber
and
Main
Street
in
particular
might
raise
some
concerns,
and
so
folks,
who
perhaps
could
be
your
allies,
might
might
be
quite
concerned
about
those
provisions.
F
So
I'm
not
sure,
that's
an
essential
part
of
your
ordinance
and
what
perhaps
suggest
that
it
be
be
eliminated
to
allow
things
to
get
to
go
forward
and
they
give
the
city
the
authority.
This
would
be
a
violation
like
any
other
of
the
Municipal
Code
and
the
city
attorney.
A
city
prosecutor
would
have
authority
to
prosecute
good.
A
I
think
the
other,
the
other
just
sort
of
general
question,
and
we
probably
need
to
bring
this
to
some
conclusion.
There
was
California
already
prohibits
smoking
in
a
number
of
places,
a
number
of
public
places,
beaches
parks,
restaurants.
So
what
actually?
What
additional
restriction
would
this
bring
and
we
were
identifying
restaurant
and
bar
patios
for
sure
mm-hmm
Kerr.
B
A
C
A
And
I
think
we
didn't
misunderstand:
we
understood
that
bar
and
restaurant
patios
were
included
and
when
we
just
did
a
little
bit
of
a
straw
poll,
the
Commission
was
really
split
sort
of
five
to
five
on
whether
or
not
they
liked
that
prohibition
or
not
so
yeah,
so
we're
I,
guess
we
haven't
finished
our
discussion.
Yet.
Okay,
I
have.
D
D
C
25
feet:
there's
the
four
in
the
public
area,
from
openings
in
doors,
doors,
windows,
cooling
systems
for
public
buildings,
where
businesses
are
the
distance,
is
25
feet
where
there's
an
opening
to
a
business.
I
like
on
a
public
street
like
on
Main
Street,
for
example,
just
25
foot
no
smoking
distance
from
those
from
those
openings.
So.
D
D
B
C
D
B
D
C
D
C
D
C
A
A
C
C
This
isn't
a
new
experiment.
This
has
happened
already
all
over
the
state.
That's
been
going
on
for
twenty
years.
There's
many
cities
that
that's
the
case.
It's
banned
throughout
the
entire
city
already,
and
it
has
been
a
few
years
Pasadena
many
others
yeah
Santa
Monica,
and
this
isn't
new
we're
we're
not
going
yet
to
Laguna
Beach.
You
walk,
you
drive
into
Laguna
Beach
and
there
are
flashing
signs
that
says:
Laguna
Beach
is
a
non-smoking
city
anywhere.
Mm-Hmm
I
mean
the
air
in
Laguna
Beach.
You
cannot
smoke
anywhere.
C
L
L
L
C
B
A
A
So,
probably
if
Council
is
addressing
it
sometime
in
September,
it
wouldn't
be
sometime
between
October
and
December,
right,
okay,
all
right,
okay
and
feel
free.
If
you
want
to
submit,
if
you
want
to
have
an
agenda
item
that
engages
the
Commission
in
as
a
part
of
your
process,
please
just
alert,
Dan
or
and.
A
Thank
you
all
right,
we're
we're
moving
along
we're
on
good
schedule.
We
have
quite
a
few
committee
and
Commissioner
reports
and
so
I'm
really
moving
so
that
we
save
time
new
business
is
going
to
move
quicker
than
you
probably
think
it
might
so
we're
at
the
item
three
of
old
business,
which
is
continuing
discussion
on
fiscal
year,
2018
19
budget,
our
recycling
fund
and
sustainability
fund,
and
we
lost
the
Commissioner
speaking,
but
that
would
have
been
Commissioner
goons
and
vice-chair
of
Clark.
So
vice-chair
Clark.
Do
you
have
anything
you
want
to
say
well.
E
Last
month,
we
did
go
through
a
preliminary
budget
that
had
inputs
from
a
lot
of
different
people
or
or
committees.
It
was
this
if
you
still
have
it
in
your
files.
Chair,
Jackson
and
I
have
been
discussing
this
as
well,
and
what
what
I'd
like
to
propose
on
behalf
of
the
budget
committee
is
that
we
we
vote
to
accept
all
of
the
items
that
we
have
here
on
the
list,
recognizing
that
the
amounts
may
not
be
exact
or
what
we
would
actually
propose
later
on
some
of
these
items.
E
We
are
things
that
we've
done
before,
like
the
sustainability
event
at
modernism
week,
Green
Building,
training
events,
World
Environment
Day,
so
we
we
understand
what
the
what
the
costs
would
be
in
this
there's
not
much
new
there.
There
are
other
things
on
the
list
that
probably
would
be
done
further
down
the
road
and
the
costs
aren't
as
clear
right
now,
but
we
could
recognize
that,
as
time
went
on,
there'd
be
more
input
more
discussion
than
we
would
be
able
to
refine
the
cost
for
those
items
better
at
that
time.
E
A
A
Our
suggested
items
don't
exceed
the
revenue
in
either
for
either
fund
so,
and
we
also
know
that
all
of
the
items
we
suggested
as
vice-chair
Clark
said,
are
way
more
aggressive
than
the
energy
of
the
commissioners
and
staff
would
have
to
actually
accomplish
everything
on
that
list.
There's
so
there's
not
a
chance
that
everything
would
get
spent
anyway,
but
it
simply
registers
the
item
as
a
priority.
A
E
And
this
follows
on
with
the
process
that
we
established
last
summer
when
we
had
several
budget
subcommittee
meetings
and
we
had
a
study
session
where
we
really
established
priorities
that
we
were
going
to
work
on
and
in
the
next
year
or
so.
So
it's
it's
really
the
same
same
idea
that
we
worked
to
last
year,
I.
A
For
one
just
didn't
want
to
sit
and
say:
okay,
now
that
says
$5,000,
but
it
really
ought
to
be
four
and
you
go
through
20
items
and
adjust
a
budget
number.
They
just
didn't
seem
like.
It
was
a
good
use
of
our
time,
so
I
guess
I
just
want
to
take
a
tenor
of
the
group.
If,
if
vice
chair
Clark
made
a
motion
to
accept
this,
is
our
budget
template
would?
K
Question
before
I
can
answer
your
question:
is
there
a
mechanism
to
add
things
to
that
list
during
the
year
that
aren't
on
there
now
but
might
be
possible
because
we're
hiring
a
sustainability
director,
and/or
staff
person
and
some
of
those
items
that
are
identified
in
our
sustainability?
Master
plan
aren't
represented
on
this
list
and
may
become
possible.
Yeah
I
hate
to
be
tethered
to
a
list
that
isn't
malleable.
There's.
B
Mean
we
did
this
year,
you
know
we
added
some
things
as
far
as
what
the
CNE
and
all
of
that
so
yeah
you
can.
We
can
go
through
the
process,
it
does
take
time
to
get
money
moved
around
you
know,
so
it
can't
be
something
that
oh
in
two
weeks,
you
know
we
want
to
do
this,
it's
more
like
in
two
months.
We
want
to
do
something
like
this,
but
yeah
it
can
be
done.
E
F
F
A
A
A
Okay,
is
that
to
put
you
to
put
words
in
your
mouth,
erm
again
is
that
is
that
okay?
Is
there
a?
Is
there
a
second
to
that
second
from
Commissioner
Baker?
Now,
let's
see
if
there
is,
if
there
are
any
other
questions
or
discussion
again,
knowing
everything
is
always
adjustable
all
right,
all
in
favor
say
yes,
yes,.
A
A
E
Think
what
I'd
like
to
do
here
is
defer
discussion
of
that
topic
and
to
the
report
for
the
committee
on
waste
reduction,
because
at
this
point
we
don't
have
a
specific
proposal
or
funding
request
for
the
for
the
Commission
that
will
probably
come
later
on
and
in
rabaa.
Just
describe
the
process
that
we're
going
through
so
I
think
we
can
just
defer
that
to
the
okay
committee.
Discussion
is.
K
E
A
A
It
seemed
to
us
as
we're
looking
at
our
commissioners.
We
really
don't
have
a
subcommittee
on
bicycle
routes
and
cycling
and
I
think
we
need
to
have
some
group
of
commissioners
assigned
to
that
topic
for
the
ongoing
work
of
looking
at
bicycle
routes
and
engaging
engineering.
So
what
I'd
like
for
you
to
do
is
think
about
whether
or
not
you're
interested
or
if
you
know,
someone
who
is
interested
and
I
did
want
to
report
that
Jim
Flanagan,
who
has
spoken
to
us
in
public
comment
about
cycling
issues
and
some
energy
issues.
He
is
interested.
A
So
we
have
at
least
one
person
who
is
interested
and
I'd
like
to
suggest
his
name
for
an
ad-hoc
committee
on
bicycle
routes
and
cycling.
That's
Jim,
Flanagan,
but
I.
Think
we'd
like
to
have
at
least
a
couple
more
so
I
just
invite
you
to
think
about
that,
and
we
can.
We
wouldn't
expect
that
that
group
would
work
until
September
anyway.
So
please
give
some
thought
it
might
be
somebody
who
has
been
engaged
in
that
topic
in
the
past
and
maybe
it's
a
new
person
all
right.
A
We
also
I
think
as
we
appointed
ad-hoc
committees,
there
was
a
sunset
date
for
the
ad-hoc
committees
of
June,
30th,
so
I'm
thinking
that
we
need
to
reauthorize
an
ad
hoc
committee
on
film
festival
programs
and
an
ad
hoc
committee
on
walkability
and
pedestrian
planning
for
this
fiscal
year.
If
we
want
to
so
that
would
be.
The
ad
hoc
committee
on
Film
Festival
programs
is
presently
commissioners
Futterman
and
gothy
er.
Is
there
anyone
who
would
like
to
join
them
all
right?
A
Consider
yourselves,
REE,
appointed
and
reauthorized
I
mean
this
is
just
just
to
make
this
official
and
then
ad
hoc
committee
on
walkability
and
pedestrian
planning
was
commissioners
Wilson
and
gothy
er.
Are
you
willing
to
continue
for
this
fiscal
year?
Okay,
yes,
and
is
there
anyone
who
would
like
to
join
them?
You're
interesting
joining
them.
Okay,
all
right
all
right
all
right!
B
A
I
think,
let's
reauthorize
them
for
for
this
fiscal
year
to
do
the
work
that
the
focused
work
that
we've
assigned
them
and
if
there's
some
change
of
that
at
some
point
you
can
make
that
change.
Thank
you
all
right
staff
added
item.
Four.
Apparently
our
third
Tuesday
in
October
is
a
conflict
with
the
City
Council
public
hearing.
So
is
there
a
suggestion
of
a
date
that
you
would
want
to
move
the
October
meeting
to.
B
A
Ok,
all
right
and
we're
missing
three
commissioners:
well,
let's,
let's
probably
not
for
you:
okay,
okay!
Well,
let's,
if
that,
if
that's
the
date,
you're
suggesting
October,
22nd
and
then
just
to
remind
all
of
you-
and
this
is
not
noted
correctly
in
the
agenda-
we
did
also
move
the
September
meeting
because
of
Yom
Kippur.
A
A
Okay,
all
right
and
I
know
their
work
schedules
that
everybody
juggles
so
I
hope
with
a
couple
of
months
notice
you
you
can
do
whatever
you
can
do
and
I
know.
Sometimes
that
is
not
negotiable,
but
I
guess
we
didn't
have
any
any
choice,
at
least
in
terms
of
moving
in
so
all
right.
We're
at
committee
and
Commissioner
reports
item
one
the
solar
and
Green
Building
commissioners,
Friedman
and
Goines.
Okay,.
F
Thank
You,
chair
Jackson
first,
is
that,
as
I've
mentioned
last
month,
we
receive
designation
as
a
soul.
Smart
city,
working
closely
with
the
National
League
of
Cities
Daniel
J
and
Flynn
and
I
participated
on
a
conference
call
about
a
week
or
so
ago
with
the
National
League
of
Cities,
and
they
will
be
providing
technical
assistance
on
an
update
of
our
zoning
code
to
ensure
that
barriers
to
the
installation
of
solar
are
lifted
before
the
statewide
mandate
goes
into
effect.
On
January
1
2020,
so
I'll
be
working
with
Flynn
on
the
draft.
F
Ordinance
I
receive
some
models
actually
just
this
afternoon
from
the
National
League
of
Cities,
and
the
objective
is
to
be
able
to
present
something
to
our
Commission,
a
text
to
our
Commission,
the
Flynn
and
I
will
have
worked
on.
It
goes
to
our
Commission,
hopefully
for
our
September
meeting
then
to
planning
then
the
City
Council
timing
obviously
depends
on
my
other
summer
project,
but
that
was
the
objective,
but
but
essentially
the
balls
on
our
court.
The
National
League
of
Cities
has
offered
to
help,
and
once
again
it's
part
of
our
cold
designation.
F
F
Also
on
policy
manners,
I
met
with
Commission
a
with
semi
councilmember
Middleton
discuss
next
steps
on
on
solar
policy.
You'll
call
way
back
down
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
in
addition
to
the
what's
now
the
policy
on
new
construction,
our
commission,
Planning
Commission
had
discussed
also
a
policy,
a
mandate
panella
poly,
a
policy
on
retrofits,
and
we
haven't
sort
of
moved
forward
on
that
council.
Member
Middleton
has
suggested
that
I
be
even
more
ambitious
and
come
up
with
a
longer-term
step
plan
that
would
seek
Palm,
Springs
being
carbon
free
by
2030.
F
So
that's
another
sort
of
summer
project
to
start
working
on
that
and
come
up
with
something
for
the
fall
of
basically
a
policy
that
takes
us
out
to
two
carbon-free.
That
is
consistent
with
the
sustainability
plan,
but
we
haven't
really
gone
that
far
into
sort
of
saying
what
does
that
look
like?
What
is
the
steps
there?
F
So
once
again,
I'll
be
working
with
that
over
the
summer
and
have
something
hopefully
for
the
Fall
and
I
would
expect
it
would
be
the
same
process,
our
commission
probably
planning
and
then
City
Council
as
a
policy
statement
with
some
goals.
Time
time
time
time
sets
and
goals
mm
sieve
AG
will
be
presenting
on
desert
community
energy.
F
Here
the
large
conference
room
at
the
one
PS
brown-bag
lunch,
that's
this
Thursday
from
noon
to
1:30
and
VCE
has
decided
different
role:
Minh
tuff,
solar
customers
until
January
1,
so
that
everyone's
on
an
annual
cycle
to
build
credits
at
the
beginning
of
the
year
for
the
use
of
the
summer.
So
if
any
of
you
like
me,
have
solar
panels
and
you're
wondering
where
your
DCE
letter
is,
it
will
not
go
into
effect.
F
Our
enrollment
will
be
January
as
opposed
to
August
1
for
the
non
solar
folks,
so
there
hopefully
will
be
a
little
bit
more
of
an
announcement,
and
the
letter
should
start
going
out
at
some
point
soon
on
that.
Finally,
as
I
mentioned
last
month,
I
attended
an
energy
code.
Compliance
training
session,
San,
Francisco
I,
was
already
up
in
town
on
June
28th
and
then
Daniel
has
sent
you
all.
F
The
materials
I
mean
a
number
of
contacts
with
both
governmental
state
and
regional
folks
up
in
Northern,
California
and
private
folks
in
the
private
sector,
in
the
consulting
area
and
I've
been
following
up
with
them
about
our
energy
code
conference.
So
I
received
an
email
from
Gretchen
Gutierrez,
tentative
date
of
October
29th,
but
we're
working
on
identifying
the
speakers,
I
hope
to
hear
back
from
the
Energy
Commission
in
the
next
couple
of
days
and
some
other
folks
that
I
ran
into
at
the
conference.
F
But
we
are
moving
forward
on
that
and
and
certainly
by
September,
we'll
have
some
well.
You
know
probably
a
an
outline
and
a
formal
date
and
everything
like
that,
but
I'll
keep
Daniel
appraised
and
hopefully,
with
commissioner
coins,
we'll
have
a
young
subcommittee
meeting
and
the
next
week
or
so
to
move
forward
on
that.
But
that's
we're
making
good
progress.
A
M
A
J
Apologies
for
the
lateness
of
that
everything
was
pushed
off
pretty
much
to
the
end
of
this
monthly
cycle,
given
that
I
was
in
Europe
for
three
weeks
had
several
meetings
with
European
heads
of
state
that
didn't
go
very
well,
but
I
won't
cover
those
tonight
the
first
first.
You
know
that
I
will
talk
about
reducing
polystyrene,
takeout
containers
and
use
of
plastic
straws.
That's
one
of
them
that
I
don't
have
a
lot
to
report
on
tonight.
J
J
J
J
We
had
some
constraints
that
we
discussed
with
them,
and
the
outcome
is
that
they're
going
to
take
some
maps
and
come
up
with
some
preliminary
suggestions
for
where
to
deploy
these
these
containers
and
we're
gonna
take
a
look
at
those
and
give
our
input
to
it
and,
and
then
hopefully,
we'll
we'll
move
out
with
it.
So
I
suspect
that
that
we
might
start
to
see
them
in
the
parks,
August
type
timeframe.
J
J
More
of
the
restaurants
in
the
city
are
going
to
be
required
to
divert
their
liquid
carbon,
basically
food
waste
from
landfill
and
it's
going
into
landfill
today
and
and
if
we
could
get
a
mechanism
in
place
where,
where
that
was
what
all
of
that
kind
of
waste
was
getting
diverted,
we'd
we'd,
significantly
impact
the
amount
going
to
landfill
it'll,
be
it's
about
30
to
35
percent
right
now.
So
it's
a
good
goal
for
all
of
us.
J
I
also
went
over
two
months
ago:
I
guess
some
preliminary
research
that
we've
been
doing
on
a
facility
that
would
take
the
the
garbage
waste
from
our
homes
now
and,
and
it
would
separate
the
wet
organic
fraction
from
the
dry
fraction.
It
was
that
press
that
we
were
talking
about,
so
we've
done
more
outreach
with
that
company
called
energy
ax,
and
yesterday
we
had
a
meeting
with
several
stakeholders.
J
I
will
just
describe
Chris
Cunningham
from
Palm
Springs
disposal,
services
they're,
the
two
members
of
a
company
called
Veolia
Veolia
is
the
company
that
manages
our
wastewater
treatment
plant
here
and
Douglas.
Laura
is
actually
the
manager
of
that
plant
and
then
a
representative
from
energy
itself,
Yaniv
ursin
and
then
a
couple
of
city
members,
Don,
Yano
and
Jai
Radha
were
here.
J
So
we
kind
of
got
all
of
the
stakeholders
together
and
the
Jenny
from
inertia
went
over
the
technology
and
this
press
and
all
that
sort
of
thing
and
everybody
got
a
chance
to
sit
around
and
talk
about
the
possibility.
I'm
really
pleased
to
report
that
it
seemed
like
those
stakeholders
at
least
all
emerged
from
this
meeting.
With
a
positive
view
of
this
and
like
the
idea
going
forward,
one
of
the
things
that
they
identified
is
that
there's
some
property,
that's
adjacent
to
both
the
palm
springs
disposal,
services
and
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
down
there.
J
That's
currently
unused.
It
is
city
property,
and
everybody
was
in
pretty
good
agreement
that
that
this
facility,
that
would
have
to
be
put
in
to
do
this
processing
of
the
city
waste.
That
would
be
a
great
location
for
it
and
we
wouldn't
even
have
to
truck
it
then
over
to
the
wastewater
facility.
It
could
be
sent
over
by
a
short
pipeline.
So
there
was
there
was
some
excitement
about
that.
J
The
other
thing
that
we
discovered
that
I
was
particularly
happy
with
is
that
they
have
an
aerobic
digestive,
there's
two
facilities
at
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
already,
so
they
have
a
spare
capacity
and
could
take
more.
So
that's
good,
because
that's
what
would
happen
here
is
that
they
would
be
given
more
and
and
also
the
the
smallest
facility
that
energiya
was
proposing
to
us.
Given
some
of
the
numbers
that
they've
been
sent
about,
how
much
waste
were
generating.
There
would
also
be
some
excess
capacity
there.
They
could.
J
J
So
the
next
steps
there
is
that
energiya
is
going
to
put
together
a
little
bit
more
concrete.
It's
not
quite
a
proposal
yet,
but
it
would
have
some
of
these
numbers
describe
the
facility
describe
what
it
would
do
describe
what
retrofit
requirements
would
be
for
the
wastewater
treatment
plan
and
then
we're
going
to
have
a
meeting
with
Jeff
Coors
and
present
this
to
him
and
assuming
that
all
goes
well
there.
Then
what
we'd
like
to
do
here
with
our
committee
is
in
September.
J
E
Guess
the
only
thing
I'd
add
to
the
last
part
is
that,
with
what
they're
planning
to
put
together
as
a
higher
level
executive
summary
of
what
they
presented
to
us
in
a
more
technical
meeting
yesterday-
and
that
would
be
you
know,
for
Jeff,
and
we
probably
will
have
a
dry
run
on
that
presentation
with
the
same
group
of
people
that
met
yesterday.
And
we
will
invite
anybody
here
on
the
Commission
who
was
interested
to
participate
in
that
meeting
as
well
for
any
any
input
and
then
I
think
part
of
what
they
will
do
in.
E
F
J
F
So
it
could
actually
be
B
being
put
into
CNG
so
that
they
could
use
it.
Just
as
we
saw
the
trucks
in
am
in
Paris
that
correct,
okay
and
the
other
alternative
would
also
work
if
they
went
for
power
root.
That
would
be
a
nice
discussion
with
the
DC
people,
but
either
one
would
would
would
work
with
basically
keeping
the
gas
here
in
Palm
Springs.
Yes,.
J
Or
with
with
the
new
way
that
we're
gonna
be
getting
our
power
that
that's
our
nergi
was
bringing
this
up,
is
you
know
this
is
another
option?
Is
there
there
were
I,
don't
remember
what
the
number
of
kilowatts
that
it
is
producing,
but
it
was
fairly
impressive
and,
and
that
could
get
right
back
into
Palm,
Spring
City
usage
as
well.
Instead
of
going
out
to
the
grid.
Okay,.
J
J
J
A
J
E
A
E
Just
wanted
to
point
out
that
a
few
weeks
ago,
I
submitted
a
proposal,
a
draft
proposal
for
the
battery
recycling
project
to
Jay
and
I
believe
he
discussed
it
with
David
Reddy
and
said
there
was
a
favorable
response.
Do
you
have
any
more
feedback
Dan
and
actually
that
grant
that
we
applied
for
should
have
been
awarded
by
now?
Has
there
been
any
information
about
that?
I
haven't.
B
B
E
A
A
M
To
keep
that
going,
but
he's
also
applying
for
a
grant
for
City
project
1531,
which
chair
jackson
may
remember
doing
the
sidewalk
survey
for
three
years
ago
for
a
sidewalk
gap,
closure
survey
that
had
for
a
number
of
locations
throughout
the
central
part
of
the
city.
But
there
are
a
couple
locations
beyond
the
central
part
of
the
city
that
would
also
be
covered.
M
So
he's
got
ten
letters
of
support
that
he
is
accumulating
from
one
PS
and
some
I
believe
congressional
representatives
and
I
forgot
a
couple
of
other
areas
of
support.
So
he
doesn't
really
need
our
support,
but
we
thought
the
more
the
better,
so
I'll
send
this
via
email
tomorrow
when
our
server
is
back
online
and
maybe
some
draft
minutes
this
section
of
it,
if
Dan
could
send
that
over
to
Don
that'd
be
great
by
the
time
the
proposal
listed
at
the
end
of
the
week
so
anyway,
the
sidewalk
construction
for
that
gap
closure.
M
The
the
construction
schedule
is
for
fiscal
year,
19
2012,
which
is
2019
2020,
not
last
century,
which
is
kind
of
what
that
sounds
like
I,
guess
so,
I
think
that's
about
it.
So
anyway,
Vice
Chair
Clark
was
also
in
attendance,
as
was
Christine
Hammond
from
the
measure,
Jay
Commission.
So
anything
else
that
you
want
to
add.
K
M
Correct
yeah,
it's
very
similar
to
the
map.
Oh
that
yeah,
you
generated
three
and
a
half
years
ago,
if
yeah,
I'm,
sorry,
I
I
didn't
have
a
way
to
convey
this
via
email
so
that
you
had
the
report
prior
to
the
meeting.
But
some
of
the
some
of
the
gaps
that
you
identified
three
years
ago
have
actually
been
constructed
right
since
then,
and
there
are
a
couple
of
additional
gaps
that
have
I'd
been
identified
since
then
that
were
included
on
this
map.
So
it's
not
exactly
the
same,
but
it's
pretty
close.
A
H
A
K
They
have
set
a
date
in
March
that
they're
gonna
redo
their
film
and
we
are
exploring
joining
with
them
because
there
they
are
kind
of
at
full
capacity
in
where
they
held
it
this
year,
because
the
time
events
so
they're
looking
at
adding
an
evening
event
that
would
be
a
fundraiser
in
Palm,
Springs
and
so
I've
been
to
Caitlyn.
They
are
talking
UCR
and
rivers
and
lands.
Conservancy
are
exploring
whether
they
want
to
welcome
sustainability
Commission
as
a
partner.
Okay,.
B
F
Couple
of
things
mostly
involving
DWA
first,
they
held
workshops
this
past
week
on
their
2018-2019
rebate
programs
which
about
50
people
attended.
You
recall
that
I
had
said
well,
perhaps
the
city
could
come
up
with
a
rebate
project,
so
I
met
last
week
with
Kenny
Kershaw
of
the
facilities
department
to
discuss
a
turf
to
desert
escape
conversion
to
Victoria
Park,
and
that
would
be
eligible
for
a
$3
square.
F
Foot
per
square
foot
rebate
up
to
$40,000
from
DWA
I,
followed
up
with
Ashley
Metzker
of
DWA,
and
she
said
that
the
application
would
need
to
come
in
by
perhaps
the
beginning
of
next
month,
so
that
there's
a
reservation
of
funds,
so
Daniel,
if
you
could
follow
up
with
Stacey
I,
did
speak
briefly
with
Ashley
this
morning
and
I
do
understand.
That's
in
the
work
that
Ashley
and
either
Stacy
or
Kenny
are
talking.
F
But
since
we
won't
be
meeting
for
a
next
couple
of
weeks,
if
you
could
follow
up
because
that
one's
the
ones
again,
that's
a
grant
and
it's
there
out
there
for
us
and
it
would
be
the
four
corners
all
four
there's-
some
basically
a
sort
of
pathway
and
the
objective
round.
I
guess
the
entire
border
of
the
park
and
the
objective
would
turn
that
into
sort
of
a
meandering
path,
with
desert,
scape
sort
of
the
model
of
what's
in
the
a
wellness
park
and
Ruth
Hardy.
So
that
would
be
kind
of
you
know.
F
What's
what
what's
in
progress
and
be
very
visible
and
so
I
think
TWA
would
worth
that
so
also
DWA,
that
customer
received
nineteen
point:
five
percent
reduction
in
potable
water
production
during
May.
Twenty
me
June
2018,
and
that
was
compared
with
the
same
month
in
2013
and
the
cumulative
savings
over
the
last
twelve
months
is
thirteen
point
three.
So
that's
in
line
with
their
objective
and
they
seem
to
be
we're-
seem
to
be
settling
into
roughly
a
thirteen
percent
reduction
from
the
baseline.
F
So
that
is
I
think
good
evidence
that
Palm
Springs
we've
kind
of
got
in
our
our
mode.
We
were
written,
we
remain
in
conservation
mode.
So
that's
good
news.
There
was
a
presentation
at
this
morning's
TWA
meeting
on
the
state,
water,
new
state,
water
conservation
laws
and
I
Daniel
circulated
the
materials
from
that
there
will
be
an
indoor
water
use,
objective
of
55
gallons
per
person
per
day
until
January
twenty
twenty-five,
and
then
that's
supposed
to
ratchet
down
to
fifty
gallons.
F
So
there
are
a
lot
of
issues
to
be
worked
out
at
the
state
level
and
local
level,
but
there's
a
strong
conservation
method
method
message
from
from
the
state-
and
this
is
in
lieu
of
the
previous
emergency
drought,
restrictions
or
sort
of
implement
those
restrictions
in
a
more
sustainable
way.
Then
finally,
DW
a
spa
city,
its
water
quality
report
on
on
the
website.
So
if
anyone
wants
to
take
a
look
at
that,
that's
just
been
posted
on
they
deploy
a
website.
So
that's
it
for
water
and
thank
you.
F
For
once,
we
have
a
sustainability
manager
and
with
the
budget
allocation
just
approved
a
short
time
ago,
I
would
like
to
work
with
our
new
sustainability
manager
to
see
if
we
can
come
up
with
a
you
know,
a
way
what
our
turf
to
to
desert
scape
to
converse
and
rebate
program.
So
there's
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
and
that's
my
mental
note
to
work
with
our
new
manager
on
that
program.
Great.
A
L
No
so
I'm
gonna
have
Dan
put
the
second
sheet
up,
and
so
I
just
want
you
to
see
this
nice
representation
of
community
partners
that
we
had
at
our
sixth
annual
World
Environment
Day
celebration.
Last
year,
2017
we
had
about
20
exhibitors,
and
this
year
we
had
more
than
30.
So
that's
an
incredible
nice
increase
of
a
participation,
so
lots
of
different
environmental
educators
throughout
this
community
and
up
in
the
high
desert
as
well
and
even
out
into
Riverside,
and
so
it
was
great.
L
We
had
Brenda
dela
Luna
had
a
student
display,
they
I'm,
forgetting
I,
should
have
written
down
what
it
had
something
to
do
with
this
year's
theme
was
beat
plastic
pollution,
so
she
asked
if
she
could
bring
that,
and
that
was
really
neat
and
then
there
was
a
few
other
kind
of
stem
educators
and
just
different
different
participants
and
the
loma
linda.
I
wonder
where
that
is.
They
actually
had
a
really
interesting.
There's
a
limo
Linda
University,
the
venomous
animal
display,
which
was
really
cool,
and
there
were
some
kids
that
I
mean.
L
Obviously
they
didn't
bring
that
venomous
animals
out
to
hang
out
with
people,
but
to
see
you
know
what
is
in
our
desert
and
to
kind
of
break
some
of
the
mystery
and
the
fear
around
it
and
see
how
beautiful
these
species
are
and
then
so
so
many
of
these
kids
got
to
hang
out
with
snakes
and
other
reptiles
for
hours
and
they
just
spent
the
whole
time
with
them,
which
I
just
think
is
a
really
neat
opportunity.
So
we
had
the
living
desert
as
usual,
and
the
living
desert
tortoise
program
as
well.
L
L
So
this
year,
I
tallied
77
people
helped
produce
this
event.
So
this
was
the
organizers
and
volunteers,
the
exhibitor,
so
those
more
than
30
plus
tables
that
we
had
the
entertainment
and
also
the
chefs.
So
that
was
a
lot
of
people
behind
the
scenes
that
showed
up
to
participate
in
this
and
I.
Think
that
that's
really
a
nice
feat
to
see
how
much
support
we
have
from
the
community
that
that
wanted
to
be
a
part
of
the
event.
L
So
I
came
up
with
a
way
to
try
to
collect
the
data
of
how
many
people
attended
and
I
was
thinking.
You
know
some
people
do
this
thing
on
an
iPad
and
I
thought.
Technology
generally
fails
when
you
want
it
the
most
and
so
I
thought.
Let's
do
something
really
old-school,
and
so
we
got
containers
that
we
had
at
the
front
table
and
I
asked
the
urban
conservation
corps,
who
are
all
volunteers
and
they
brought
about
10
people
with
them
and
I
said
you
know.
L
Can
we
have
four
of
you
at
the
front
where
you
are
asking
people
as
they
come
in?
Please
put
a
jelly
bean
in
the
container.
That
best
represents
how
you
heard
about
this
event,
so
we
could
kind
of
try
to
see
you
know
what
kind
of
advertising
works
and
what
you
know.
How
we're
getting
the
word
out.
Well,
I
think
Roy
can
attest
because
he
was
there
with
the
milkweed
for
monarchs
in
the
breezeway
there
and
they
were
not
really
paying
attention
a
whole
lot
and
they
let
a
lot
of
people
slip
through.
L
So
we
can't
really
tell
you
exactly
how
many
people
came
through
because
they
weren't
very
diligent
about
it,
but
that
said,
238
attendees
placed
jelly
beans
into
those
containers,
and
so
we
do
have
a
little
bit
of
this
data
that
we
can
see.
You
know
and
and
we're
saying
conservatively
at
least
50
more
pass
through,
probably
more
so
at
least
365
people
were
at
this
event,
probably
more
so
revealing
the
statistics
of
where
they
heard
about
it.
L
The
highest
was
the
Billboard,
and
it
may
not
look
like
that
much,
but
you
know
considering
that
this
isn't
the
full
amount.
That's
actually
quite
a
few
people
that
saw
our
billboards
and
did
any
of
you
see
them
a
bungy
notch,
a
and
also
on
the
freeway.
It
was
a
little
harder
to
see
the
one
on
I-10,
but
you
know
on
on
G
natural.
You
couldn't
really
miss
it
and
I
thought
that
that
was
really
great.
It
was
coming
into
the
entryway
of
Palm,
Springs
and
I.
L
Had
a
lot
of
people
tell
me
that
they
saw
it,
you
know
because
they'd
heard
about
it,
I
told
them
about
it.
They're
like
we
saw
the
Billboard
and
that
that's
also
really
nice.
So
that
is
one
way
to
get
the
word
out
word-of-mouth.
Well,
that's
other
people
that
are
either
seeing
the
Billboard,
seeing
it
on
Facebook,
seeing
it
on
the
news
and
then
they're
sharing
that
information.
You
know
with
others
and
saying
hey
come
along
and
and
that's
always
great,
but
we
can't
necessarily
count
on
that.
L
L
Although
the
person
that
interviewed
me
I
mean
I
really
hope
to
talk
about
the
features
of
the
event
and
he
kept
on
going
back
to
beat
plastic
pollution,
which,
ultimately
you
know
if
people
weren't
gonna
come
to
the
event,
we
want
them
to
be
thinking
about
how
to
beat
plastic
pollution.
So
in
the
bigger
picture,
maybe
that
was
more
valuable,
I
don't
know,
but
anyway
it
got
us
plugged
in,
and
that
was
really
awesome.
L
The
Flyers
I
didn't
print
that
many
fires
because
being
a
sustainability,
Commission
I
wasn't
trying
to
get
the
word
out
on
our
most
beloved
paper
from
trees,
but
next
door
was
okay,
I
didn't
get
it
out
there
that
soon
I
didn't
think
about
it
soon
enough,
perhaps
that
the
farmers
market,
only
ten
people
said
that
they
got
the
information
there.
But
who
knows?
Really
the
radio
really
wasn't
as
successful
as
I
think
we
would
have
hoped
they
aired.
L
52
ads,
which
is
significant,
it
may
be
the
station
that
it
was
played
on
I'm,
not
really
sure
we
targeted
100.5,
it's
not
one,
that
I
listened
to
what
we
wanted
to
target
family,
because
we
want
to
really
educate
the
community
and
it's
kind
of
hard
to
get
kids
and
families
out
so,
and
we
thought
maybe
this
would
be
something
good,
a
free
event.
On
a
hot
day,
we
thought
that
we
might.
That
might
be
a
good
way
to
get
people
there.
So
maybe
that's
not
the
best
way
and
then
peach
jar.
L
It
was
a
little
hard
to
to
get
that
free
and
I
finally
did.
But
that
was
only
about
two
weeks
before
the
event
and
you
can
advertise
months
in
advance
because
we
had
no
no
money
exchanged.
Last
the
last
year
we
did
have
some
vending,
and
so
they
wouldn't
let
us
do
it
for
free,
and
so
it
wasn't
didn't
feel
like
a
great
way
to
spend
our
advertising
money.
But
this
time
we
got
it
out
to
you
know
thousands
of
parents
whether
or
not
they
open
their
emails.
Nobody
really
knows
so.
L
So
the
billboards
were
considerable
investment,
but
it
seems
you
know,
according
to
this
data,
that
that
was
the
best
way
to
get
the
word
out
from
this.
The
radio
ads
main
may
not
be
worth
our
investment
the
year
before
we
did
have
the
radio
at
the
event
as
well,
so
they
were
broadcasting
from
World
Environment
Day,
which
I
think
is
kind
of
a
fun
thing
to
do,
but
again
who's
gonna,
maybe
listen
to
it
and
go
oh
I'm
gonna
go
down
to
World
Environment
Day
on
a
hot
day
like
that.
L
Who
really
knows
I
I,
don't
know
so
the
feedback
that
people
emailed
to
me
and
told
me
at
the
event-
and
this
is
just
things
that
I
had
written
down.
There
was
a
great
variety
of
exhibitors
and
information
and
educational
resources.
So
everyone
really
appreciated
that
people
love
the
food
demos,
I
think
having
the
farm-to-table
food
demos
is
a
really
interesting
way
to
showcase.
What's
being
grown
locally,
it
was
all
pretty
much
from
the
farmers
market,
although
one
of
the
chef's
did
bring
some
organic
produce
from
I
think
the
San
Diego
market.
L
Everyone
seemed
to
love
the
musicians
that
talk
to
me.
People
appreciated
the
environmental
art
contest.
This
year's
theme
was
fire
and
people
thought
that
it
was
really
inspiring
it
to
me.
That's
always
a
really
I
mean
this
is
actually
how
this
event
started
was
to
be
able
to
have
a
place
to
showcase
the
environmental
art
contest
that
I
run.
So
that's
how
and
I
don't
know
if
I
ever
told
you
this,
but
just
because
you
know
having
projects
due
in
April
by
Earth
Day,
that's
right!
L
So
I
think
that
that's
always
a
nice
part
to
have
local
art,
wonderful,
live
animal,
encounters
fun,
interactive
activities
for
kids
of
all
ages,
so
the
adults
also
seem
to
really
like
the
interactive
exhibitions.
So
this
was
very
clear.
A
few
people
commented
that
the
music
was
loud
and
some
exhibitors
complained.
It
was
difficult
to
converse
and
I
definitely
heard
that
it
was
an
extremely
hot
day.
Many
visitors
come
into
doubt
the
streets
were
empty
in
town,
so
I
don't
know
if
people
just
didn't
want
to
leave
their
house
at
all.
L
It
could
be
part
of
why
we
didn't
have
the
attendance
that
we
were
hoping.
The
attendance
was
slow
at
the
onset,
so
at
two
o'clock
there
weren't
that
many
people
there,
but
it
did
grow
steadily,
peaking
around
3:30.
And
then,
when
we
had
the
art
award
ceremony
at
4:30,
the
exhibitor
started
packing
up,
which
kind
of
like
dissipated
that
energy
and
it
it
was.
It
was
kind
of
non
momentous,
the
closing
of
it,
so
that
was
sort
of
unfortunate.
But
overall
it
was
good.
L
So
the
recommendations
that
we
came
up
with
to
rearrange
the
flow
of
the
event
for
next
year,
so
I'd
like
to
kick
off
the
event
with
the
environmental
art
award
ceremony,
so
that
that's
the
opening
it's
it
was
what
you
know
was
kind
of
the.
What
created
this
event
for
us
in
this
community
and
that
would
just
be
nice
and
that
way
the
kids,
maybe
you
know,
can
come
and
then
hopefully,
they'll
wanna
stay
with
their
families
and
adults.
If
you
guys
ever
want
to
participate
or
share
that
with
adults.
There
is
an
adult
category.
L
So
then
we'll
have
a
solid
hour
and
a
half
of
networking
time
with
soft
and
instrumental
music.
Only
in
the
background,
so
you
know
the
guitar.
Everyone
said:
oh,
the
guitar.
You
should
just
have
the
guitar
play,
but
the
musician
that
was
there
is
very
accomplished
and
she's
amazing.
It
just
I
think
was
loud,
but
I
think
that
it
did
compete
with
that
ability
for
the
exhibitors
to
actually
be
able
to
converse
so
because
this
is
definitely
not
only
a
celebratory
event,
but
an
educational
event.
L
I
think
that
we
should
give
that
ample
time
to
just
have
networking
and
the
food
demos,
so
the
live
music
portion
will
possibly
build
into
a
dance
party
during
the
last
part
of
it.
So
it
can
kind
of
build
up
and
maybe
turn
the
music
up,
as
the
exhibitors
then
can
pack
up
if
they
want
or
hang
out-
and
you
know
still
talk
to
people
if
they
want
to,
because
some
people
didn't
complain
about
that.
L
L
Friends
at
the
desert.
Mountains
and
the
creeks
fun
also
put
in
money
for
the
environmental
art
contest.
Awards
Palm
Springs
disposal
really
showed
up.
Maybe
it
was
beat
plastic
pollution
I'm,
not
sure
what
inspired
them,
but
hopefully
that
might
be
a
partnership
that
we
continue.
500
dollars,
they
gave
LSA
associates,
grant
and
company
really
awesome
to
have
you,
and
that
was
a
really
nice
contribution.
L
So
we
asked
for
50
dollars
from
for-profits,
which
is
a
pretty
nominal
amount,
so
that
was
super
sweet
that
you
gave
more
so
and
then
hot
purple
has
always
been
a
great
participant.
Southern
California,
Edison,
Caroline
Conway
used
to
be
the
director
of
education
from
the
wildlands
Conservancy
says
she
just
retired,
and
she
that
personal
donation
of
$25
and
I
ended
up
putting
in
my
own
money
for
the
printing
of
fliers.
I
wasn't
really
sure
what
was
happening
exactly
some
with
some
of
the
funding.
L
So
I
just
donated
that
as
my
contribution
and
the
actual
cost
that
were
covered
by
us
on
the
entertainment
that
covered
the
master
of
ceremonies,
the
live
music
and
the
circus
entertainment
flow
box
was
there,
which
is
always
fun.
It
gets
kids
up
and
you
know
moving
and
dancing
and
doing
some
circus
stuff
as
well.
The
radio
ads
was
$520
I
think
that's
a
lot
of
money
to
get
nine
people
there.
L
So
I
think
that
we
might
not
do
that
next
year,
unless,
unless
we
get
a
great
sponsor
that
wants
that-
and
maybe
you
know-
maybe
we
have
it
go
for
longer
than
the
week
before
the
farmers
market
produce
cost
$175.
We
had
allocated
250,
but
I
I
was
actually
going
off
a
budget
of
$2,500
and
I.
Don't
exactly
know
how
I
asked
for
1500
when
that
happened,
and
so
we
actually
stayed
pretty
close
to
what
what
the
Commission
approved
and
we
collected
revenue
from
these
other
sponsors,
so
that
totaled
725
that
really
covered
the
$350.
L
That
Commission
was
going
to
sponsor
the
Art
Awards,
so
that
leaves
375
profit.
There
was
$200
from
2017
so
that
with
the
another
$50
from
these
other
contributions
for
the
Billboard
designer
I
think
she
did
a
really
great
job,
so
that
was
a
pretty
nominal
cost
$250
for
that
design
and
then
so
we
have.
These
proceeds
to
roll
over,
for
next
year's
is
a
little
over
$300.
So
in
conclusion,
you
know
we
think
you
everyone
that
organized
this
event.
L
We
think
our
Commission
to
for
being
our
sponsor
for
the
continued
support
of
World,
Environment,
Day
and
I
think
that
this
is
something
that
we
can
really
make
our
signature,
educational
event
that
people
can
look
forward
to
every
year.
I
mean
it
would
be
rather
nice
to
have
one
in
the
fall.
Maybe
when
it's
a
little
cooler,
we
could
do
something
outdoors,
maybe
in
the
future,
but
for
right
now,
it's
you
know
the
city
partners
with
us.
They
give
us
that
room,
that's
just
the
room
alone.
L
That's
an
in-kind
contribution
which
I
guess
I
forgot
to
mention
is
I.
Think
it's
about
twenty
five
hundred
dollars,
so
they
give
us
that
as
well,
which
is
a
huge
contribution
and
we'll
just
continue
to
pursue
sponsorships
from
other
community
partners
and
hope
that
you
know
maybe
for
the
billboards
next
year.
Some
other
sponsor
wants
to
come
up
with
that,
and
if
we
can,
you
know
continue
to
sponsor
the
event
and
continue
with
this
program.
I
think
it's
a
great
event
that
everyone
that
at
NC
miss
oh
love,
so.
A
A
F
To
mention
when
dr.
Reddy
and
Marcus
were
here
that
also
on
tomorrow's
agenda,
the
city
will
be
applying
for
a
grant
from
the
South
Coast
AQMD
of
$60,000
to
cover
electric
vehicle
charging
stations,
which
would
bring
another
30
stations
into
the
city.
It
was
not
clear
from
the
staff
report
about
whether
those
were
apparently
will
be
the
same
as
the
ones
that
are
already
installed
same
vendor,
but
how
that
would
work
in
terms
of
feeling
the
the
charging
that
we
had
discussed
a
few
months
ago
wasn't
in
the
staff
report
so
Daniel.
F
Perhaps
you
can
follow
up
with
Marcus
and
report
back
to
us
about
how
exactly
that.
That's
supposed
to
happen,
and
in
Alaia
I
know
there
had
been
some
suggestions
of
where
to
put
them,
but
there'll
be
30
more,
which
is
close
to
doubling
I,
believe
the
existing
park.
I
think
there's
something
like
34
already
there
so,
but
it
looks
like
from
what
I've
read
from
the
staff
report.
A
J
B
B
I
just
had
one
Roy
had
asked
me
in
an
email
about
Dunn,
Road
project
and
I.
Just
I
did
find
out
yesterday
or
today
that
the
project
has
been
completed.
I've
been
searching
for
photographs,
so
they
said
where
they
were,
but
I
can't
find
them
yet.
But
it's
it's
like
95%
completed,
all
the
rows
have
been
picked
up
and
just
basically
some
of
the
smaller
pieces
of
glass
that
still
need
to
be
picked
up.
Okay,
that's.
