A
C
Right
everybody
in
the
out
of
the
waiting
room.
Yes,
all
right,
excellent,
well
welcome
everyone!
This
is
the
human
rights
commission
of
the
city
of
palm
springs.
Special
meeting
for
thursday
may
5th
2021
first
item
on
the
agenda
is
roll
call
jay.
Can
you
assist
with
roll
call?
Please?
Yes,.
D
Andrade
pardon
me
letting
others
in.
I
did
not
see
or
hear
a
response
from
commissioner
andrade.
C
D
I
saw
cherry
join,
not
true
of
ours.
Okay,
I
will
proceed.
I
have
no
requests
for
public
comment
in
advance
of
the
meeting,
so
looking
at
the
hands
raised
mr
chair,
there's,
there's
quite
a
few
hands
raised
if
you
would
like
to
just
call
them
out
or.
E
E
E
Abiding
members
of
this
community,
the
business
owners,
the
visitors,
nor
the
people
who
find
themselves
living
on
the
street
in
what
amounts
to
being
third
world
conditions,
goes
without
saying
that
many
of
these
people
have
mental
health
issues
and
drug
and
alcohol
addiction
which
all
translate
into
them
being
unstable,
erratic
and
potentially
a
danger
to
themselves
and
others
by
letting
this
continue.
We
as
a
community
and
the
city
at
a
minimum
are
complacent,
liable
and
derelict
of
responsibilities.
E
Make
no
mistake:
it
is
our
lack
of
policies
that
allow
this
problem
to
continue
to
grow
unchecked,
with
all
that
I
have
mentioned
and
what
is
clearly
a
dire
and
pressing
human
rights
issue.
It
is
disappointing
that
this
committee
is
choosing
to
spend
its
time
looking
back
and
focusing
an
immense
amount
of
energy
on
a
statue,
we
should
instead
address
our
current
homeless
crisis.
E
I
skimmed
your
latest
resolution
and,
while
I
will
not
comment
on
its
contents,
I
will
say
that
the
extraordinary
amount
of
time
and
money
that
obviously
went
into
producing
this
document
could
and
should
have
been
put
to
better
use.
I
ask
that
the
hrc
focus
on
dire
pressing
current
issues.
We
have
a
serious
human
rights
issue
going
on
daily.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
C
Thank
you
very
much,
stacy
johnson,
let's
see
next,
I
see
a
dottie
with
a
hand
up
you
can
as
soon
as
you
unmute.
You
can.
F
G
Go
good
evening,
I'm
donnie
wilder
and
I
just
wanted
to
speak
about
the
statue
as
well.
I
don't
know
too
many
people
that
have
given
as
much
of
their
adult
life
to
one
town
as
frank
bogart
has-
and
I
came
here
in
1957
he's
one
of
the
first
people
I
interacted
with.
He
was
at
every
function
we
had
in
the
town
not
just
present,
but
working
at
the
desert
circus
parade,
the
rodeo,
the
kangaroo
court,
and
he
made
it
fun
and
he
talked
to
all
of
us
regardless.
G
We
not
only
have
many
races
here.
We
also
had
many
economic
groups.
Here
we
had
the
very
rich
doubt
of
the
very
poor
and
everything
in
between
and
he
treated
all
of
us
the
same
he
talked
to
me
just
like
you
would
talk
to
one
of
the
rich
and
famous,
whose
kids
got
picked
up
in
a
show
for
driven
lincoln
after
school
every
day.
You
know
many
many
of
the
kids
had
to
walk
across
the
desert,
carrying
their
books
and
dealing
with
sandstorms.
G
You
know
so,
and
we
all
went
to
the
same
school.
Frank
was
great.
It
was
a
very
western
town
during
that
time.
That's
what
made
it
fun.
I
rode
horses
all
over
section
14..
My
memory
is
section.
14
was
pretty
much
open
desert.
It
had
some,
you
know
not
very
poorly
built
buildings
on
it
and
and
and
at
that
time
the
the
well
the
indians
owned
the
land.
G
So
frank
couldn't
have
done
anything
with
the
land
unless
the
indians
wanted
him
to
so,
and
they
could
not
lease
out
the
land
for
more
than
five
years.
G
At
that
time-
and
I
remember-
I
went
to
school,
some
of
the
truck
kids
of
tribal
leaders
and
the
tribal
leaders
are
flying
back
and
forth
to
washington
dc
every
other
month
to
make
negotiations
with
the
for
the
land,
and
so
I
was
about
14
when
I
heard
that
they
they
got
the
right
to
lease
out
the
land
for
99
years,
and
I'm
sure
that
that's
when
the
tribe
and
the
city
wanted
to
clear
it
to
be
developed
development
as
part
of
downtown.
G
It
was
not
directed
at
any
group
of
people
and
and
again
I
think,
to
if
somebody
wanted
this
to
be
about
the
statue.
They
could
have
made
it
about
a
statue
without
disparaging
a
man
who's
not
here,
to
defend
himself
and
gave
most
of
his
adult
life
to
the
city,
and
I
think
it's
terrible
to
be
talking
about
him
so
poorly.
I
I
interacted
with
him
throughout.
I
saw
him
last
just
before
he
passed
away,
so
throughout
my
whole
adult
life
or
growing
up
and
adult
life.
You.
G
C
Thank
you,
donnie
wilder.
Next,
I
see
a
karen
braff.
H
You
so
much
I'm
a
palm
springs
resident
and
I'm
reading
a
statement
prepared
by
the
friends
of
frank
booger.
H
H
H
H
We
note
a
significant
conflict
of
interest
with
the
head
of
the
task
force
that
led
to
inevitable
distortion
of
the
findings
and
highlight
significant
inaccuracies
within
the
department
of
interior's
findings
further
to
provide
context,
and
within
that
context,
criticism
of
the
california
attorney
general's
report
and
why
his
opinion
we
would
suggest
his
personal
opinion
on
the
matter
was
grossly
misformed
misinformed
and
then
take
give
illustration
show
how
the
hrc
took
richard
molanovich's
quote
out
of
context
to
support
a
false
narrative
about
frank
bogart.
H
C
Thank
you,
steve
braff
and
oh,
I
see
a
hand
up
over
here.
Donna,
no
last
name.
B
Good
evening,
everyone-
I
am
frank,
bogart's
youngest
daughter,
donna
hegaris.
I
have
read
the
resolution
in
its
entirety
once
again,
as
mr
braf
stated,
it
is
full
of
lies
and
twisting-
and
I
I
am
not
qualified
to
speak
of
the
historical
facts
at
the
moment,
but
one
item
that
really
is
bothersome
to
the
family
is
the
one
where
you're
referring
to
my
father
leaving
office
in
1966
because
of
he
was
being
investigated.
B
This
is
absolutely
untrue.
I
have
checked
with
his
current
wife.
I
have
checked
with
other
people,
and
my
memory
is
that
he
left,
because
my
mother
was
I'm
sorry,
I'm
going
to
start
crying.
My
mother
was
currently
dying
of
cancer
at
the
time
and
at
the
time
there
was
no
money
coming
to
the
mayor.
As
far
as
an
employee
of
the
city,
he
needed
to
find
a
job
he
needed
to
get
money
to
support
my
mother's
mounting
hospital
bills,
and
that
is
the
truth.
B
Secondly,
he
also
had
some
work
in
a
pr
company
that
was
a
conflict
of
interest,
and
that
is
the
reason
he
left
the
city
early.
It
is
not
because
he
was
being
investigated
by
the
california
attorney
general.
You
cite.
This
is
very
offensive
to
the
entire
family,
as
are
many
of
your
other
allegations
in
this
resolution.
C
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
I
say
hand
a
motto.
C
I
Thank
you,
commission,
and
I
want
to
go
ahead
and
state
that
the
statute
was
a
gift
to
the
city
of
palm
springs,
paid
for
by
the
residents
and
friends,
frank
bouvard.
I
The
mayor
bogart
represented
why
people
should
make
palm
springs
their
home
at
a
minimum,
a
great
city
to
visit.
He
constantly
promoted
the
city
and
did
so
did
it
so
well
that
the
current
city
council
has
now
moved
to
palm
springs
and
are
enjoying
the
benefits
and
the
fruits
of
the
pioneers
that
came
to
create
this
city.
I
I
I
I
C
Do
hope
you're
that
your.
C
Commission
and
we'll
go
to
the
next
speaker
now.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you.
I
see
oron
with
that
could
be
the
last
name
or
the
first
name.
D
Thank
you.
I
was
asked
to
to
speak
tonight
and
all
I
could
think
about
was
my
grandmother
who
came
here
in
46.
in
1956
desert
sun
reporter
wrote,
the
mess
is
indescribable
slums.
This
is
even
worse
and
continuing
on.
In
the
same
light
the
press
enterprise
weighed
in
and
they
said,
the
homes
were
death
traps
of
tinder,
dry
wood,
where
families
crowds
and
one
a
crowd
scan
on
one
another
in
unsanitary,
profusion,
old
and
true
to
our
history
and
practice.
D
As
a
nation,
we
often
relegated
a
population
of
unwanted
folks
to
a
section
of
the
city,
and
then
we,
when
we
deseem
that,
when
we
deem
that
part
of
the
city
undesirable
and
that
section
increases
in
value,
we
displace
the
inhabitants
either
by
cunning
or
by
first
force.
The
city
I
grew
up
in
has
long
been
laden
with
images,
laws
and
practices
designed
to
ensure
the
people,
like
me,
understood
my
second
class
citizenry
from
the
tamrix
trees
on
crosley
track
separating
by
both
color
and
clouds
to
the
city,
supported
fence
instructors.
D
The
clan
community
of
gateway
estates
from
the
black
intruders
that
left
section
14
simply
in
search
of
a
better
life
today,
I
think
we're
all
asking
these
same
black
folks
that
found
their
way
to
the
north
in
the
palm
springs.
To
ignore
most
of
the
hurtful
images,
the
images
that
remind
us
of
a
painful
journey,
the
very
man
that
stepped
away
from
his
microphone
to
carry
on
about
the
colors
and
the
homos
and
like
the
tamas
trees.
D
C
Aaron
jackson,
thank
you
very
much
for
your
comments.
I
see
sid
sid
hubbard.
B
Thank
you.
I
don't
have
any
prepared
remarks,
but
I'm
very
interested
in
everything.
That's
been
said
here
and
I
I
have
told
many
people
I
first
of
all,
I
grew
up
in
palm
springs
and
I'm
now
back
in
the
desert
area
as
a
retired
person,
but
for
all
those
years
in
between
when
I
came
in
fourth
grade
and
was
a
student
catherine
finchy
to
the
death
of
frank
bogart
in
2009,
I
considered
him
and
his
family
friends,
and
I
wanted
I
really
am
speaking
from
the
heart.
I
I've
told
people
that
I
lived.
B
I
I
did.
I
lived
on
cali
and
celia
and
cali
segundo
and
was
there
for
the
first
about.
I
guess,
four
years
that
we
lived
in
palm
springs
and
I
don't
usually
tell
people
what
a
great
time
it
was
because
I
would
think
with
all
the
publicity
now.
No
one
would
believe
it.
So
I
was
very
happy
to
come
across
a
comment
by
charles
jordan,
who
many
of
you
will
know
who
he
is.
He
was
a
very
famous
basketball
player
in
our
palm
springs.
B
High
school
went
on
to
be
a
commissioner
here
in
palm
springs
and
then
later
the
first
black
commissioner
in
portland
oregon
and
the
there's
a
lot
of
what
recreation
departments
named
after
him
in
portland,
so
he's
an
important
person
and
I
came
across
his
interview,
which
is
in
a
city
publication
where
he
says
that
he
grew
up
on
in
section
14
and
he
said
if
I'd
lived
in
a
mansion,
I
couldn't
have
asked
for
a
better
time,
because
there
were
so
many
different
races
and
cultures
and
kids
and
that's
the
way.
B
B
I
mean
we.
We
can
learn
from
any
mistakes.
We
can
try
to
do
it
better,
but
to
try
to
keep
the
blame
for
this
on
one
man
who
devoted
his
life
to
doing
the
very
very
best
that
he
possibly
could
have,
and
I've
done
some
research
on
this.
I
can't
find
another
city
in
the
country
that
has
this
statue
named
for
a
city
council
member,
so
please
try
and
figure
out.
D
C
All
right,
sid,
your
communication
is
cutting
out,
but
we're
at
your
time
limit.
So
we
appreciate
you
participating
in
your
comments.
Thank
you
very
much
and
the
next
I
see
is
renee
brown
with
a
hand.
G
All
right,
I
get
a
second
chance,
that's
cool.
My
name
is
renee
brown
and
I'm
a
lifelong
resident
of
the
city
of
palm
springs.
G
I
do
want
to
state
for
the
record
that
I
believe
what
the
human
rights
commission
and
the
council
is
doing
is
they're,
basically
scapegoating
frank
bogert
for
all
the
wrongs
that
the
entire
city
council,
specific
members
of
the
tribe,
the
chamber
of
commerce,
the
hotel
and
tourism
industry,
the
bankers
and
the
developers
all
perpetrated
on
the
people
who
were
removed
from
section
14..
G
G
G
Many
groups
within
the
community
financially
benefited
from
the
clearing
of
section
14,
including
the
tribe
developers
realtors,
and
the
list
goes
on
and
on.
I
asked
the
city
council
to
put
their
money
where
their
mouth
is
and
establish
a
fund
that
would
allow
those
families
affected
to
borrow
money
to
start
businesses
within
the
community.
You
know
this.
If
the
human
rights
commission
has
concluded
that
wrongs
were
committed
by
the
city,
then
reparations
are
in
order.
Moving.
The
statue
is
nothing
more
than
a
symbolic
gesture.
You
know
that
that
area
out
gateway
estates
they
need.
J
G
Grocery
store,
there
are
so
many
things
that
we
could
do
to
make
life
better
than
arguing
over
this
statue.
It's
going
to
cost
about
50
grand
to
move
that
statue,
the
statue,
why
don't
you
put
that
in
the
fund
so
that
minority
youngsters
could
maybe
start
businesses
to
make
their
life
a
little
better?
You
know
it
to
me.
This
is
political
rhetoric
and
it
does
nothing
to
solve
the
problem
that
the
whole
community
of
palm
springs
created
anyway.
Thank
you.
Second,
remaining.
C
Thank
you,
renee
brown,
I
see
next
is
doug.
K
K
That
is
a
very
strong
statement
as
to
the
condition
of
the
tribe
and
its
members
in
the
1940s,
50s
and
60s,
and
this
was
a
very
long
process.
K
K
It's
one-sided.
It
doesn't
talk
about
the
difficulties
of
the
tribe
in
that
time
period.
It
doesn't
talk
about
the
hard
work
that
the
tribal
council
was
undertaking
and
the
fact
that
the
city
was
the
only
government
agency
that
was
willing
to
step
up
and
help
tribal
members
and
the
tribal
council.
The
federal
government
wasn't
helping.
The
bia
was
a
nightmare
and
I
could
go
on
and
on
about
that,
the
federal
laws
were
punishing.
K
K
If
you
look
at
the
annals
of
land
use
and
I'm
a
professional
land
use
planner,
I
worked
in
palm
springs
for
26
years.
I
lived
and
breed
this
town
technically
factually
it
was.
It
was
one
of
the
most
difficult
things
that
has
occurred
in
the
city
anywhere
in
california,
and
almost
nationally
the
tribal
council
was
was
led
by
a
very,
very
powerful
group
of
women.
K
K
I'd
like
to
say
that
I
looked
at
your
mission
statement
and
as
presented,
it's
it's
insulting
to
the
difficult
journey.
The
tribe
and
dirt
fails
to
provide
a
true
accounting
of
history,
and
it
fails
to
educate
the
community
fairly
about
what's
going
on.
If
this
is
about
a
statue,
let's
have
an
upfront
discussion
about
the
statute
and
whether
or
not
it
it
needs
to
be
moved
15
seconds
left.
Mr
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Sir
frank
bogart
was
probably
the
strongest
champion
of
indian
sovereignty
and
rights
in
the
history
of
this
city.
K
M
M
Clearly,
he
served
and
dedicated
his
entire
life
towards
community
and
the
city
of
palm
springs.
Media
is
wrong.
Twists
and
spins.
The
ag
report
of
the
mid-1960s
has
been
refuted.
We
will
find
the
rebuttal
to
provide
to
you
shortly
the
hrc
and
mayor
current
city
council,
to
make
this
an
issue
is
wrong.
You
cannot
and
must
not
ignore
nor
off
put
the
thousands
of
citizens
who
live
and
work
in
palm
springs.
Who
oppose
this
resolution
and
those
who
call
this
home
from
the
1940s
to
date
who
have
their
history
here?
M
M
I
request
that
this
frank,
pogba
memorial
situation
be
tabled
for,
for
the
next
five
years
to
allow
city
leads
to
actually
account
for
getting
our
city
safe,
healthy
and
homeless.
Population
under
control
and
off
of
our
city,
streets
and
hrc
can
and
should
focus
on
the
restroom
being
built
at
jesse
james
community
center
and
also
other
issues
there.
That's
that's
a
great
project
and
we
also
again
need
to
house
the
homeless
and
and
set
up
a
drug
rehabilitation
center
for
all
of
the
problems
on
our
city
streets.
M
I'm
I'm
going
to
request
that
the
ballot
or
this
matter
be
set
on
the
ballot
for
midterm
elections.
It
can
be
added
to
you,
know
the
this:
the
national
ballot
and
local
ballot
for
the
midterms,
and
then
let
the
people
of
palm
springs
vote
and
give
an
opportunity
for
local
residents
and
not
a
handful
of
folks,
who
have
only
been
here
for
eight
to
ten
years.
M
L
Hello,
how
are
you
guys
doing?
Thank
you
to
the
human
rights
commission
for
giving
us
the
opportunity,
everyone
the
opportunity
to
speak
and
speak
their
mind
and
also
to
everyone
that
stated
what
they
had
to
say.
That's
one
thing
about
freedom
of
speech.
You
get
to
you
get
to
speak.
My
family
has
two
been
in
the
city
for
many
decades,
60
plus
years.
L
My
family
was
not
the
ones
that
had
horses
to
ride
and
on
section
14
around
section
14
they
were
not
the
ones
that
were
able
to
have
those
great
enjoying
times
of
events
and
participating
in
events
and
going
to
different
stores
and
locations.
We
were
we
were
able
to
go
to
certain
places,
but
we
were
not
able
to
enjoy
all
that.
Everyone
else
could,
due
to
you,
know,
blacks
not
being
allowed
in
many
places.
L
During
that
time,
my
grandmother
who
recently
passed-
and
she
too
was
a
pillar
in
the
community
of
people
that
were
forced
off
of
section
14.
Many
of
them
lost
their
homes.
So
when
you
lose
your
home,
you
too
become
homeless.
So
I
just
want
to
say
that
yeah
we
are
dealing
with
a
homeless
issue
now
and
guess
what
at
that
time
we
dealt
with
the
homeless
issue.
L
Then,
yes,
the
land
is
owned
by
the
agua
caliente
band
of
quindians,
but
let's
be
honest
and
and
let's
just
say
that
they
didn't
understand
the
full
breakdown
of
how
to
work
their
land
and
so
who
stepped
in
to
help
them.
Of
course,
there
were
these
different
people
that
we
were
talking
about,
that
assisted
them
with
their
land
and
times,
and
so
to
me.
I
feel
some
of
them
were
even
coerced
to
doing
things
with
their
land
that
they
didn't
realize
that
they
were
doing.
L
There
are
many
people
that
have
done
things
to
make
this
city
what
it
is
today
and
some
of
those
things
were
done
not
in
a
positive
way.
I
agree
the
entire
city
council
and
all
the
other
folks
and
organizations,
the
bankers
and
all
that
that
has
something
to
do
with
that.
They
were
a
part
of
the
city
planned
holocaust,
which
was
quoted
during
the
1964
reports
and
articles,
but
none
of
them
have
a
statue
that
is
placed
in
front
of
city
hall.
L
Removing
the
statue
shows
that
we
are
helping
heal
a
community,
so
thank
you,
human
rights
commission
for
stepping
out
on
this
to
help
heal
the
community.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
jarvis
crawford
j.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
you
notice
that
representative
ella
cash
is
part
of
the
meeting.
C
C
All
right
we'll
come
back
to
tristan
any
other
hands
raised.
I
see
a
sidrano
valdez,
the
dronia.
G
G
G
J
Yes,
I'm
sorry,
this
is
I'm
new
to
the
zoom.
J
Okay,
so
I
I
submitted
a
letter,
but
I
wanted
to
read
it
here
aloud.
My
name
is
tristan
milanovich
daughter
of
the
late
richard
milanovic,
who,
as
you
know,
served
as
tribal
chairman
of
the
agua
caliente
band
of
koya
indians,
of
which
I
am
a
member,
I'm
writing
today
or
speaking
today,
on
behalf
of
the
richard
milanovic
family
and
the
family.
Only
I
previously
wrote
a
letter
to
the
palm
springs
city
council
explaining
our
disapproval
of
the
removal,
slash
relocation
of
mayor,
frank,
bogart
statue.
J
J
He
would
be
absolutely
appalled
to
know
that
his
name
is
being
used
in
this
effort
to
remove
the
statue.
We
are
absolutely
appalled
by
it.
It
is
disgusting
that
you
would
use
his
words,
but
even
more
so
out
of
context,
especially
considering
we
feel
that
you
are
certainly
unaware
of
what
his
feelings
were
on
the
matter
and
what
his
feelings
were
for
the
man
at
the
heart
of
this
issue.
J
C
Christian
milanovic,
thank
you
very
much
for
your
comments
and
I
see
janelle
hunt
with
a
hand
up.
F
Thank
you.
I
would
like
to
thank
the
human
rights
commission
for
a
lot
for
hearing
everyone
else.
As
we
speak
about
the
removal
of
the
frankfurter
statue.
By
now
you,
the
human
rights
commission,
has
been
made
aware
of
the
frankfurter
statute,
the
fact
that
it
is
still
an
issue.
A
topic
shows
just
how
there
are
disparities
that
are
ugly
still
exist
within
the
city
of
palm
springs.
F
F
So
if
the
city
has
an
ugly
past,
then
why
not
eradicate
everything
tied
to
the
ugly
past?
I
feel
as
though
the
message
is
being
misunderstood.
The
statue
that
stands
in
front
of
our
government
building
a
government
building
that
allows
a
statue,
a
man
who
played
a
role
in
uplifting
families.
Children,
impersonating
belongings,
does
not
represent
the
entire
communities
of
people
that
live
within
the
walls
of
city
of
palm
street.
F
The
statue
represents
hurt
that
has
been
existence
for
years
and
if
you
are
truly
trying
to
right
the
wrongs
then
start
with
removing
the
statue.
People
are
having
to
relive
the
anguish
all
over,
because
there
are
residents
in
the
city
of
palm
springs
that
do
not
understand.
Some
of
the
painful
hurt
that
frank
bowler
was
part
of.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
C
Jay,
do
you
have
anybody
else
in
the
queue.
N
There
here
I
am,
thank
you
so
much
for
this
proposal
in
order
to
take
down
the
statue
in
front
of
city
hall.
Unfortunately,
it
is
dividing
the
city
in
a
way
that
the
city
needs
to
be
unified.
N
I'm
really
disappointed
that
this
is
still
dividing
us.
There's
a
group
of
people
that
are
hurt
by
this
symbol
and
there's
another
group
of
people
that
are
empowered
by
this
symbol
and
it's
time
to
take
down
these
symbols
in
in
dividing
us
as
a
community
and
there's
the
group
of
people
are
saying
hey
this
person
did
this
to
us
and
there's
another
group
of
people
saying
he
didn't
do
anything
to
us.
Well,
it's
time
to
listen
to
the
group
of
people
that
are
hurt.
N
N
If
something
was
in
front
of
us
of
a
a
building
that
offended
you,
you
would
want
it
down.
It
offends
a
group
of
people,
it
doesn't
offend
everybody,
but
the
fact
that
it's
offending
the
black
community
of
palm
springs.
It's
time,
we've
seen
enough
hurt
and
enough
destruction
and
enough
hate.
We
have
to
be
the
catalyst
for
healing
and
for
change,
and
the
time
is
now
for
palm
springs.
N
To
do
that,
and
to
set
the
example
that,
as
a
city,
we
can
learn
and
heal
and
discuss
and
talk
about
our
differences,
and
this
statue
can
be
moved
to
maybe
his
grave
or
someplace
else
or
melted
down.
So
it
can
fund
projects
for
the
betterment
of
the
whole
community,
not
for
a
specific
group
of
people,
that's
no
longer
in
fashion,
that's
no
longer
what
we
are
doing
as
a
humanity.
N
C
O
Ch
chair
there
has
been
a
jose
hegaris
with
his
hand
up
for
quite
a
while.
I
don't
think
that
you
have
seen
him.
O
Okay,
I
see
jose
agueros,
oh
jose's
name
wrong,
but
yeah
jose.
A
For
let
me
speak
while
frank's
contributions
to
the
city
are
well
known.
Here
are
few
lesser
known
facts
about
him.
His
first
wife
was
jewish
upon
her
death
in
1974.
He
married
nephi
bogger,
a
mexican
national
from
san
miguel
de
allende.
A
A
Quantum
members
of
the
gay
community
are
some
of
his
closest
friends,
including
michael
hill,
whose
letter
to
the
city
last
year
is
attached
in
the
appendix
he
served
with
the
extinction
during
world
war
ii,
fighting
the
very
ideal
ideology
of
prejudice
and
racism
that
he
is
now
falsely
accused
of
he
called
mexico.
His
second
home
was
loved
by
his
citizens
and
was
given
the
golden
sport
award
by
the
mexican
general
association.
The
first
white
man
to
ever
receive
the
honor.
A
Yeah
and
a
promoter
of
minority
interest
the
speed,
despite
being
buried
from
joining
private
clubs
at
the
time
bulger
pushed
for
jewish
people
to
be
accepted
on
four
different
locations,
borger
wrote
a
recommendation,
letters
for
reverend
rowling's
son
in
an
attempt
to
get
him
accepted
to
us
to
school.
In
long
beach
area,
frank
voger
was
my
father-in-law
and
my
best
friend,
and
I
will
challenge
anybody
in
the
call
to
actually
prove
to
me
that
he
was
anything
by
racist.
He
was
one
of
the
best
men
I've
ever
I've
ever
known.
I'm.
C
P
P
I
came
to
the
family
and
you
can
see
jose
guerras
already
mentioned
how
many
different
cultures
are
part
of
this
family.
His
wife
was
mexican,
I'm
sorry,
his
wife
is
mexican.
I
am
from
el
salvador,
so
he
was
very
happy
when
he
met
me.
He
was
really
happy
knowing
that
his
grandson
married
somebody
from
a
latin
culture.
He
loved
mexican
culture
so
so
much
and
I
was
so
impressed
of
how
much
he
knew
about
latin
american
culture.
P
So
my
husband
and
frank,
they
were
very
close,
and
I
know
my
husband
highly
respected
him
and
admire
him
in
every
single
way.
My
two
kids,
when
he's
10
years
old,
we
named
him
after
frank.
His
name
is
frank,
frank,
russell
and
my
little
one
is
six
years
old.
They
all
know
so
much
about
frank.
They
like
to
go
and
see
the
statue
they
are
so
proud
of.
P
Knowing
that
his
grandfather
is
in
the
statue
in
front
of
the
city
hall,
so
I
I
have
read
portions
of
your
resolutions
and,
although
I'm
not
a
serious
historian,
I
know
that
many
of
the
things
that
they
are
stating
about
from
boulder
are
far
far
far
from
the
truth.
So
I
wish,
and
god
willing
going
forward.
P
It
is
my
hope
that
the
true
facts
will
come
out
and
I
you
know
thank
you
for
the
time,
but
you
know
this
is
a
really
really
sad
time
for
the
family,
especially
because
all
the
things
are
coming
out
or
not,
but
not
true,
and
I
can
tell
you
I'm
part
of
this
family.
I
met
him.
I
love
him.
I
admire
him
and
he
had
a
huge
heart
and
you
know
other
cultures
far
far
far
from
racist
for
all
the
horrible
things
that
I've
been
reading.
D
Yes,
I
do
I
sent
a
letter
oh
about
two
hours
ago.
The
city
clerk
could
be
entered
into
this,
but
I'd
just
like
to
read
it
too.
If
I
could,
I
was
a
member
of
the
palm
springs
city
council
when
we
approved
the
placement
of
frank
bilbert
statue
in
front
of
city
hall.
At
that
time
we
had
enormous
support
from
the
public,
replacing
a
statue
where
it
has
now
been
for
the
past
30
years.
In
fact,
the
city
council
chambers
were
absolutely
full
standing
room
only
outside
we
actually
put
up
monitors
out
there
for
overcrowding.
D
I'm
wondering
what
has
changed.
Is
it
because
you
never
met
the
man
as
every
citizen?
Back
then
did
frank
was
one
of
the
people
who
actually
put
palm
springs
on
the
map?
There
was
tireless
actions
to
promote
the
sac
city.
How
can
you
justify
changing
history
by
removing
the
statute?
In
my
opinion,
you
can't
and
I'm
requesting
that
you
vote
no
on
7a
and
7b
tonight.
C
Thank
you
very
much.
I
think
that
jay,
I
don't
see
any
others.
D
I
believe
that
is
all
mr
chair,
but
let
me
ask:
does
anybody
know
of
anyone
else
trying
to
enter
the
meeting?
I
don't
see
anyone
in
the
waiting
room,
but
I
believe
it's
clear.
Okay.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
That
is
that's
all
speakers.
We
have.
C
C
We
will
move
forward
with
the
the
agenda
and
and
before
we
do
that,
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
the
comments
that
were
received
tonight.
I
am
aware
that
there
were
some
email
letters
sent
to
the
city,
clerk
and
city
council
late
this
afternoon.
C
A
number
of
them
came
too
late
for
for
me
personally
to
review,
but
we
certainly
will
and
they
will
be
entered
into
record
and-
and
we
show
a
great
appreciation
to
everybody
who
participated
in
providing
comment
at
the
april
12th
meeting.
I
think
you
know.
Certainly
hearing
input
is
extremely
important
for
for
all
of
us
in
the
community
and
it's
how
we,
how
we
learn,
how
we,
how
we
move
forward,
but
the
there
there's
a
misunderstanding
that
we're
here
to
do
something
against
frank
bogart
based
off
of
racism.
C
We
certainly
acknowledge
frank
bogart's,
incredible
role
with
the
development
of
palm
springs,
putting
palm
springs
on
the
map
and-
and
actually
you
know,
being
a
father
of
palm
springs.
So,
that's
not
something
that's
in
question
and-
and
there
seems
to
be
misunderstanding
that
that
he
his
personality
and
his
contributions
to
the
city
are
being
attacked
and
they
are
not.
We
actually
are
recognizing
his
efforts.
C
You
know
for
the
next
item
we
have
is
chair
comments
and
again
I'd
like
to
say
a
a
great
thanks
to
everyone
who
has
submitted
emails,
comments,
letters
and
and
taken
the
time
to
you
know
reach
out
to
us
both
those
that
are
in
favor
of
leaving
the
the
monument
where
it
is,
and
those
that
are
are
sharing
their
experiences
as
to
why
they
feel
it
should
not
be
on
public
property.
C
C
So
we
appreciate
everybody's
participation
now
that
we're
moving
to
receive
the
report
and
have
those
discussions.
I
I
feel
it
would
be
helpful
to
start
with
a
little
bit
of
background
in
preparing
for
this
report
resulted
in
gathering
127
separate
primary
and
secondary
resources
and
214
cited
footnotes.
C
As
we
went
through
and
prepared,
the
report
careful
analysis
was
taken
to
disentangle,
accusatory,
language,
anecdotal
information
and
opinions
presented
in
public.
As
fact,
credible
sources
were
used
to
support
report
findings,
including
palm
springs-based
george
ringwald,
the
journalist
with
press
enterprise,
who
received
a
pulitzer
prize
for
his
investigative
expose
on
the
section
14
mishandling
of
property
in
indian
estates.
C
The
acclaimed
documentation
from
ryan
cray
p8,
who
has
a
phd
in
history
at
the
university
of
california,
cray's
publications,
bring
renowned,
historians
filled
experts
in
humanities
and
social
sciences
to
the
table.
C
C
C
C
C
And
with
those
comments
on
behalf
of
the
chair,
we
will
move
on
to
the
next
item
and
that
would
be
item
number
seven.
C
So
we
are
at
a
point
of
7
a
and
a
little
bit
on
why?
Why
we're
here
on
7a
after
last
month's
meeting
or
after
the
april
12th
meeting,
we
reviewed
schedules
and
timing
of
what
needed
to
be
done
for
our
public
posting
to
make
sure
the
community
is
aware
of
everything
that's
being
done,
and
we
realized
that
the
public
feedback
time
period
that
we
had
originally
stated
of
28
days
for
commissioners
to
get
back
with
us,
was
going
to
be
too
long
and
not
give
public
time
for
review
of
the
document.
C
C
M
M
C
C
C
All
in
favor,
please
ignor
indicate
by
saying
I
or
raising
your
hand.
K
C
K
C
Item
7b
is
the
next
item
on
the
agenda
and
that's
to
ratify
the
resolution,
which
is
entitled
resolution
of
the
city
of
palm
springs.
Human
rights
commission
recommending
the
removal
of
the
frank
bogart
monument
from
the
front
of
palm
springs
city
hall.
C
Provide
a
little
updated
background.
The
the
full
resolution
is
on
page
463
through
466
of
the
report,
with
additional
comments
that
were
received
from
commissioners.
C
The
resolution
that
was
presented
on
april
12
was
edited
to
add
additional
comments
from
commissioners
and
add
additional
primary
sources
to
be
cited
in
the
resolution
and
a
change
in
the
name
of
the
resolution
to
recommend
the
removal
of
the
monument.
So
those
are
the
modifications
that
were
made
between
april
12
and
today's
posting.
C
Commissioner
flood
seconds?
The
motion
is
there
any
further
discussion
on
the
resolution
before
it
goes
to
vote.
D
G
You
I
wish
that
I
could
join
my
fellow
commissioners
in
their
overwhelming
support
of
the
issue
before
us,
but
the
court
of
public
opinion
for
me
does
not
grant
the
right
to
sacrifice
the
dignity
of
one
human
being
for
the
actions
of
many
to
be
truthful.
In
the
last
several
days.
I
have
spent
more
time
reviewing
the
human
rights
commission's
goals
and
mission
statement
that
I
have
these
documents
and
reports
in
part.
G
As
the
commissioner,
I
believe,
we've
overlooked
a
valuable
opportunity
to
fulfill
the
purpose
and
model
the
ideals
that
we
claim
to
uphold,
but
I
do
see
another
chance
in
rethinking
this
recommended
action
in
favor
of
a
plan
to
outreach
and
interactive
community
involvement,
one
to
demonstrate
the
sincerity
of
our
city's
apologetic,
offering
with
actions
to
secure
our
future.
Instead
of
tearing
down
our
past-
and
I
thank
you
for
your
time.
C
You
know
I.
I
think
it
continues
to
be
important
to
me
to
realize
and
have
an
understanding
that
if
we
had
not
even
a
single
page
of
of
documentation
that
talks
about
the
role
of
the
human
rights
violations
of
the
forced
evictions
and
what
leadership
could
have
done
to
change
that
outcome.
C
If
we
had
not
even
a
half
a
page
of
of
written
text,
all
I
need
is
to
hear
from
the
residents
who
lived
through
the
atrocity
themselves
and
the
generations
of
hurt
that
continue
to
exist
in
our
community.
I
don't
need
to
hear
anything
else.
We
we
know
of
the
hurt
that
has
been
caused
in
this
community.
C
C
C
So
I
to
me
it's
important
that
we
hear
from
the
residents
and
the
residents
have
spoken.
The
residents
have
shared
with
us
their
thoughts,
we've
heard
directly
from
them,
and
that's
what
matters
to
me.
So
I
appreciate
that.
O
Chair
can,
can,
I
just
say
s.
O
Says
says
something
as
well.
O
Okay-
I
I
I
I
have
heard
from
for
for
for
fro
from
the
people
of
of
of.
O
Springs-
and
I
have
read
and-
and
I
do
believe
that
there
are
always
two
sides-
two
opinions,
good
good
people,
and
we
are
all
aware
that
there
is
a
history
that
that
I
kept
people
out
or
took
people
out
of
areas
and
of
places
where
other
people
were
for
free
to
go.
I
have
read
good
things,
but
I've
also
read
things
that
are
very.
O
Sad
to
hear
happened
to
people
as
a
person
who
has
worked
with
the
under
pr
privileged
my
entire.
O
Adult
life,
I
have
to
think
that
when
something
of
the
past
that
is
hurtful
to
the
people
in
the
present,
not
that.
O
Mr
boker
is
it:
it
is
the
representation
that
his
is.
A
statue
brings
to
a
group
of
people
and,
unfortunately,
again
he
is
the
only
person
who
has
that
type
of
representation.
So
for
for
the
people
of
our
town,
who
have
to
drive
past
that
and.
O
Re-Member
what
happened
to
them
or
to
the
people
that
they
loved
in
these
times
it?
It
is
a
human
rights
concern,
and
so
I
I
I
I
just
wanted
to
to
add
my
thoughts.
There
are
still
lots
of
hurt
hurtful
things
that
happen
to
people
every
day,
terms
that
are
used,
practices
that
that
continue
and
it
it
comes
from
years
and
years
and
years
of
of
of
people's.
O
Life
experiences
or
the
times
or
whatever,
but
if
if
change
is
going
to
happen
and
people
are
going
to
be
eq,
equal
and
history,
I
hope
will
will
continue
to
show
us
how
to
do
better.
C

no
further
comment
from

we,
the

the
