The

I'd
like
to
entertain
a
motion
for
acceptance
of
the
agenda.
Are
there
any
items,
staff
or
council
member
would
like
to
remove
from

calendar
for
separate
discussion
or
vote.
G
A
F
A
Thank
you
I
appreciate
that
the
next
item
is
public
testimony.
This
time
has
been
set
aside
for
members
of
the
public
to
address
the
city
council
on
non-public
hearing
agenda
items.
Only
two
minutes
will
be
assigned
to
each
speaker.
You're
asked
to
please
begin
your
time
by
telling
us
what
agenda
item
or
items
you
are
speaking
about.
Please
note
that
testimony
for
public
hearings
will
be
taken
at
the
time
of
the
public
hearing
and
general
public
comments
will
not
be
taken
until
later.
In
this
evening.
I
I
I've
been
in
the
business
25
years.
I've
never
had
this
kind
of
a
of
a
provision
and
I
know
I
know
my
customers
and
I
I.
Don't
understand
why
an
adult
business
would
be
any
different
than
the
white
party
I.
Don't
know
how
many
overdoses
the
white
party
has,
or
any
music
festival
or
or
any
clothing
optional
Hotel.
I
So
why
did
this
all
of
a
sudden
happen
and
I
would
request
that
you
just
take
a
look
at
it
and
see
if,
if
there's
any
meat
to
this
I
would
prefer
to
work
with
a
police
department?
I'd
be
happy
to
work.
You
know
in
a
commission
or
a
group
to
to
try
to
solve
the
overdose
problem,
but
this
putting
the
onus
on
the
business
owner
just
doesn't
seem
right
to
me.
Okay,
thank
you.
J
J
K
K
To
that
end,
we
stand
ready
to
support
the
library
renovation
project
and
we'll
conduct
a
capital
campaign
to
raise
the
necessary
funds
to
bridge
any
financial
gap
between
our
Collective
dreams
and
the
funding
reality,
in
other
words,
think
big.
We
encourage
you,
madam
mayor
City,
Council,
Members,
City
and
Library
staff
and
the
citizens
of
Palm
Springs
to
support
financially
through
your
hard
work
and
advocacy
the
vision
of
a
truly
worldcast,
truly
world-class
library
for
a
truly
world-class
City.
K
L
First,
thank
you
to
city
and
Library
staff
for
all
of
the
work
that
has
been
put
into
the
library
renovation
project
thus
far
and
in
advance
of
the
work
that
is
required
to
complete
this
project.
We
find
ourselves
as
a
truly
exciting
moment
for
the
Palm
Springs
Library,
but
it
is
just
that
a
moment.
L
M
Good
evening,
honorable
mayor
and
City
Council
Members
I'm,
purvi,
Doshi,
I'm
senior
public
affairs
manager
for
Picasso
and
I'm
here
to
speak
on
item
e
I,
wanted
to
start
by
thanking
the
mayor
and
city
council
members
for
keeping
an
open
mind
and
giving
us
this
opportunity
to
come
up
with
an
agreement
that
can
work
for
both
of
us
in
the
city
for
both
us
and
the
City
of
Palm
Springs.
We
also
wanted
to
thank
City
attorney,
Jeff
Ballinger
and
city
manager,
Theresa
Gallivan,
for
their
efforts
in
getting
us
to
this
point.
M
As
you
can
see
in
the
staff
report
and
the
attachments,
it's
been
a
really
long
road
to
get
here,
but
we
have
taken
to
Heart
the
concerns
that
were
voiced
in
the
last
council
meeting
and
have
made
a
good
faith
effort
to
address
those
concerns.
I
know,
all
of
you
are
familiar
with
our
basic
model,
but
here
are
a
few
facts
about
how
Picasso
operates
and
chooses
its
properties
in
the
proposed
ordinance.
M
We
have
agreed
not
to
purchase
any
homes
under
the
two
times
under
two
times,
the
median
home
price,
to
ensure
that
we
are
not
utilizing
any
Workforce
housing.
We
have
also
agreed
to
to
limit
Acquisitions
to
one
home
per
block.
A
couple
other
factors
we
hope
you
consider
is
that
Picasso
pays
cash
for
our
homes,
furnishes
them
and
equips
them.
So
the
Acquisitions
process
is
fairly
costly.
M
As
part
of
our
business
model,
we
only
purchase
TurnKey
properties,
never
fixer-uppers
or
remodels,
which
further
limits
the
housing
stock
available
to
us.
We
feel
that,
together
these
factors
sufficiently
address
the
issue
of
how
many
homes
we
would
purchase
an
economic
impact
study
conducted
last
year
showed
that
Picasso
homes
have
an
89
occupancy
rate,
whereas
the
typical
second
home
has
an
11
occupancy
rate.
Our
owners
are
spending
time
in
your
stores
and
restaurants.
Many
of
our
owners
pay
cash
for
their
share,
but
if
they
do
utilize,
the
funding
Picasso
has
available.
M

O

Q
Hi
honorable
mayor
and
City
Council
Members,
my
name
is
Jen
broxmeyer.
This
is
my
son
Simon
who's,
seven
and
my
husband
is
back
at
our
Picasso
house
with
our
three-year-old
daughter
and
we
are
from
the
bay
area
and
we
fell
in
love
with
Palm
Springs
several
years
ago,
but
it's
only
through
Picasso
that
we've
been
able
to
afford
to
buy
here
and
we've
been
down
six
times
in
the
last
year
our
children
learned
how
to
swim
in
the
pool
at
our
house.
Q
Every
morning
we
go
to
different
cafes,
we
stock
up
for
days
from
Sherman's
and
shop
at
Ralph's,
and
we
donate
and
come
every
year
for
the
film
festival.
We
very
much
feel
like
members
of
this
community
and
also
very
much
understand
the
desire
of
the
city
council
and
residents
to
protect
it
and
we
feel
the
same
way
and,
most
importantly,
we
are
very
active
users
of
the
library
and
our
kids.
We
go
go
once
or
twice
every
trip
you'd
be
happy
to
support
any
Capital
campaign
and
again
just
want
to
say
thank
you.
Q
R
R
A
A
S
Good
evening,
I
too
am
appearing
on
item
3E
on
Picasso
and
I
appear
on
behalf
of
six
neighbors
to
the
illegal
Picasso
times
here
at
580.
West
hang
away
and
we
strongly
object
to
any
proposed
ordinance
accommodating
Picasso's
existence
in
a
residentially
zoned
neighborhood.
What
was
once
a
house
in
a
quiet
neighborhood
has
become
a
party
house
for
eight
different
owners
or
their
friends
rotating
in
and
out,
typically
for
a
long
noisy
weekend.
S
Instead
of
our
spending
that
time
enjoying
Tranquility
we're
forced
to
spend
time
trying
to
contact
the
itinerant
residents,
Picasso
and
Palm
Springs
authorities
to
quiet
them
down
most
of
the
time.
None
of
that
works
and
we're
forced
to
close
our
doors
and
windows
and
wait
until
they
leave
town.
So
Picasso
means
we
give
up
quiet
for
noise.
We
bought
in
a
single
family,
residential
neighborhood
and
Picasso
should
not
be
allowed
to
change
the
zoning.
The
value
of
our
homes
and
the
quality
of
Our
Lives
decreases
so
that
Picasso
can
make
money
say
no
to
Picasso.
S
If
you
you
are
going
to
say
yes,
we
emphatically
ask
that
you
and
we
emphatically
ask
that
you
say
no.
We
implore
you
to
hold
them
to
the
same
standards.
You've
worked
so
hard
to
craft
for
vacation
rental
properties.
They
are
noisy
neighbors,
keep
in
mind
the
facts:
Picasso
paid
3.35
million
to
buy
a
house
in
a
residential
neighborhood.
They
have
illegally
converted
it
to
an
eight
unit.
Timeshare
they're
flipping
it
for
5.28
million.
T
Regarding
the
actual
scope
of
work
that
eventually
gets
approved.
The
friends
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
supporting
the
full
scope
of
work.
As
outlining
your
staff
report,
including
an
on-site
Auditorium
and
complete
renovation
of
the
fry
building.
Further,
we
believe
that
all
work
should
be
completed
in
a
single
phase.
T
Current
Library
practice
recognizes
the
circulating.
Books
is
no
longer
the
only
or
even
main
function
of
a
modern
institution.
More
and
more
people
are
looking
for
authentic
experiential
encounters,
including
making
things
meeting
in
small
groups
joining
book,
clubs
attending
storytelling
events
and
attending
talks
and
demonstrations.
T
U
I've
lived
here
in
the
senior
community
for
the
past
six
years
when
I
first
said
moved
here
from
New
York
City
to
Palm
Springs,
because
I
love
the
community
of
Palm
Springs
I'm
speaking
tonight
because
of
the
possible
changes
from
a
community
of
caring
people
to
Community
Driven
by
corporations
and
profits.
We
have
a
community
of
people
who
look
out
to
take
care
of
one
another
in
the
Picasso
Corporation.
U
If
the
Picasso
Corporation
is
allowed
to
go
forward,
we
are
opening
up
the
door
that
could
change
the
culture
of
our
community
for
people
from
people
first
to
profits.
First
or
corporations
Will
Survive,
like
the
county
of
Santa
Rosa.
We
rely
on
tourism
to
support
our
way
of
life.
Please
hold
stronger,
firm
and
not
open
the
door
of
change
in
a
direction
that
we
may
regret
later
on.
I
choose
to
live
in
Palm
Springs
like
you,
because
of
who
we
are
for
each
other.
We
take
care
of
one
another.
P
Good
evening,
mayor
Garner,
members
of
the
city,
council
and
City
staff,
thank
you
all
for
your
service
to
our
Palm
Springs
Community.
My
name
is
Don
Cecil
I
am
Robert's
neighbor
in
asena
I
apologize
for
not
being
with
you
in
person
and
I
hope.
I
can
support
3C
and
also
continue
in
on
speaking
to
item
3E
Picasso,
and
the
corporate
business
model
is
the
opposite
of
what
I
believe.
Palm
Springs
needs
to
create
new
homeownership
opportunities
for
residents
and
families,
and
also
socioeconomic
levels
in
life.
P
It's
Picasso
soon,
it'll
be
billed
to
rent
or
single-family
rental
in
Palm,
Springs,
Cathedral
City
other
cities
in
the
in
the
in
the
area,
institutional
landlords,
typically
own
properties
through
corporate
Vehicles,
it
Shields
them
from
scrutiny
and
responsibility.
Congress
held
hearings
last
year
in
the
house
and
the
senate
about
the
concept
of
corporate
owned,
single-family
housing.
P
These
landlords
enjoy
an
outsized
power
and
influence,
and
I
would
say
that
in
supporting
tenants,
home
buyers
and
the
quality
of
life
in
Palm,
Springs
you'll
have
one
opportunity
to
fully
understand
and
regulate
corporate
Affiliated
single-family
home
ownership
built
to
rent
or
other
models,
and
I
would
implore
you
to
learn
more
before
in
saying
yes
or
no
to
any
of
them.
Thank
you
very
much
have
a
wonderful
evening.
W
Okay,
I
just
want
to
say
this:
Nancy
Morrison
I'm,
the
president
of
friends
of
the
Palm,
Springs
library
and
I,
just
want
to
endorse
everything
that
everyone
has
said
in
support
of
the
library
tonight.
But
the
point
that
I
would
really
like
to
make
is
that
I
will
feel
very
strongly.
We
need
to
send
this
out
for
RFQ
just
set
it
as
it
is
proposed.
Putting
it
in
phases,
it'll
never
happen.
The
first
phase
may
happen,
but
we'll
never
then
get
the
the
auditorium
and
all
the
other
things
that
we
really
need.
W
We
do
so
many
programs
at
the
library
and
we're
also
doing
the
Palm
Spring
speaks
and
there's
so
much
more.
We
could
do
if
we
had
an
auditorium
on
site
people.
Today
we
have
to
put
up
chairs,
take
chairs
down.
The
library,
does
a
lot
of
work
when
they
have
to
do
this
and
they
take
it
down
because
they're
putting
up
tables
for
a
meeting.
W
It
just
isn't
the
way
a
big
city
library
like
Palm
Springs,
should
operate,
and
here
we
have
neighboring
cities
like
desert,
hot
springs
and
Coachella
that
have
brand
new
libraries
and
Palm
Springs.
Hasn't
been
renovated,
since
it
was
built
in
the
70s.
It
is
time
for
us
to
do
everything
that
needs
to
be
done.
We
need
to
send
it
out
for
the
full
endorsement
find
out
how
much
those
cost
and
then
their
friends
will
support
the
foundation
and
go
out
to
the
community
and
raise
the
funds.
W
A
X
X
In
addition
to
that,
as
Council
knows,
we
have
identified
four
hot
spot
locations,
Vista
Chino
and
sunrise,
the
down
southern
part
of
the
downtown
area,
Crosley
and
Ramon,
and
East
Palm
and
sunrise,
and
those
according
to
research.
If
we
focus
on
those
as
hot
spots
we're
able
to
reduce
the
crime
associated
with
those
locations,
we
are
not
concerned
about
the
status
of
an
individual,
but
the
behaviors
associated
with
the
drug
usage
and
theft
that
occurs
at
some
of
these
locations.
X
So
those
four
have
been
our
hot
spots.
As
a
result,
Crosley
and
Ramon
was
cleared
out
because
of
health
conditions
that
were
present
at
that
location.
We
were
assisted
greatly
by
the
very
responsible
ownership
of
the
shopping
plaza
as
well.
Some
of
the
businesses
there,
who
are
able
to
make
sure
that
people
were
not
camping
on
their
property
and
that
also
allowed
us
to
go
in
and
make
sure
that
the
sidewalk
was
passable,
as
well
as
the
health
issues
that
we
saw.
There
were
abated,
so
that
has
been
broken
up
and
again,
everybody
is
referred.
X
Six
people
have
been
housed
under
in
Emergency,
Shelters
and
15
people
have
been
given
overnight
stays
at
the
shelter
at
Martha's
Kitchen.
In
addition
to
that,
five
have
been
sent
to
are
reunited
with
their
families
at
other
locations
around
the
nation,
and
we
are
continuing
to
talk
with
people
and
work
with
them
to
make
sure
that
they
have
the
opportunity
to
Avail
themselves
of
resources
or
going
home
should
they
so
desire.

along
so

You
heard
a
number
of
comments
and
public
comment,
including
this
isn't
included
in
other
ordinances
or
other
requirements
of
businesses.
So
could
you
just
respond
and
and
share
how
we
came
to
this
and
then
what
the
process
would
look
like?
Z
X
I
think
I
can
councilmember
holstidge
I.
Think
I
can
start
off
with
why
the
inclusion
in
the
ordinance
I
think
and
talking
to
other
police
departments
around
the
state
who
have
similar
ordinances.
We
see
that
there
has
been
a
problem
with
usage
of
drugs
at
those
facilities
at
some
facilities,
and
so
we
don't
want
to
be
in
a
position
where
we're
now
playing
catch-up,
afterward
and
trying
to
relocate
a
license
on
the
on
the
back
end
of
it.
After
there
are
problems.

would
propose
doing
is
adding
standard
appeal
language,
as
we
have
in
other
sections
of
the
code
to
address
that,
because
it's
not
clear
the
way
we
wrote
it
that
there
is
an
appeal
process,
so
we'd
be
happy
to
do
that,
and
that's
a
minor
correction
that
doesn't
require
us
to
go
back
to
additional
readings.
Thank.
Z
X
At
certain
events,
we
do
have
overdose
problems
like,
for
instance,
it
was
mentioned.
The
white
party
I
know
that
we've
had
as
many
as
a
dozen
to
15
in
one
day,
although
that's
pretty
large
crowd
where
we
do
have
overdoses,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
again
that
these
locations
don't
become
a
nuisance
to
the
public
and
with
police
and
fire
sapping
police
and
fire
resources,
and
that
was
the
purpose
of
it.
So,
yes,
we
have
had
other
problems
at
other
locations.
A
My
question
really
is
is
if
there
are
nightclubs
where
we're
seeing
two
or
more
drug
overdoses,
but
yet
their
business
license
isn't
re
revoked?
That's
a
concern
of
mine.
If
we
don't
see
that
happening
at
these
other
businesses
I'm
a
little
bit
less
concerned,
but
it
does
seem
like
a
double
standard,
because
people
do
drugs
at
nightclubs
as
well.
A
X
A
AA
Was
just
going
to
add
that
for
conditional
use
permits,
we
typically
have
language
that,
if
there's
any
safety
issues,
we
have
the
ability
to
revoke
a
conditional
use,
permit
and
I.
Think
you'll
recall
we
had
a
hearing
with
a
certain
nightclub
a
couple
of
years
ago,
where
that
was
the
case,
and
so
we
do
have
language
in
our
conditional
use
permits.
We,
as
staff
will
make
sure
we
also
have
language
in
our
land
use
permits
that
we
issue
for
special
events
as
well,
so
that
we're
applying
the
same
standard
equally
across
all
businesses.
D
D
Z
Thank
you.
I
just
have
a
follow-up
question.
If
I
can
so
I
appreciate
you
putting
this
in
and
I
agree
with
the
comments
of
my
colleagues
and
I
agree
that
we
want
to
treat
businesses
similarly,
so
we
see
similar
issues
with
nightclubs
and
other
locations.
I
appreciate
you
we're
not
that
we're
not
singling
out
any
type
of
business.
Z
So
could
you
just
explain
the
number
two
or
you
know
and
how
that
was
picked
and
how
you
know,
because
you
can
imagine
as
a
business
owner,
you
know
you're
not
in
charge
of
what
people
are
bringing
in
or
you
know
doing
before,
that
you
come
into
the
business.
So
how
did
you
pick
the
number
two?
Is
it
two
separate
incidents?
Would
that
show
a
pattern?
Z
Is
it
just
like
two
people
come
in
and
they've
done
drugs
ahead
of
time
and
they
both
overdose
right
I
mean
you
can
imagine
all
the
scenarios,
so
you
have
the
expertise
as
our
police
chief.
So
could
you
just
explain
how
you
got
to
the
number
two
if
it
would
be
two
people
overall
in
one
year
or
two
separate
incidents,
and
your
reasoning
for
that
number.
X
A
AA
AB
C
A
AC
Yes,
good
evening,
mayor
and
members
of
council,
the
first
public
hearing
tonight
is
an
application
by
The
Villa
Roma
homeowners
association,
seeking
a
historic
district
designation
for
the
Villa
Roma
Garden
Homes,
located
at
2500
South
Sierra
Madre
Drive.
As
a
point
of
clarification,
this
is
a
district
designation
which
differs
from
our
more
typical
site
designation
process.
A
district
includes
multiple
Parcels
under
separate
ownership,
which
share
common
characteristics
and
which,
together,
exemplify
exceptional
historic
value.
AC
The
individual
sites
and
buildings
within
a
district
are
called
contributing
resources
and
are
subject
to
their
own
evaluation
of
significance
for
its
significance.
A
designation
application
can
be
initiated
by
the
city
or
by
any
authorized
member
of
the
district
under
consideration.
In
this
case,
the
homeowners
association
is
representing
a
majority
of
the
homeowners
and
made
the
application.
AC
AC
On
this
slide,
we
are
showing
you
some
pictures
for
context
of
what
the
development
looks
like
as
it
exists
today,
including
entry
gate
features,
front
entries,
Landscaping,
the
carports
that
I
mentioned
and
other
architectural
Community
elements,
architectural
and
Community
elements,
foreign.
As
to
the
process,
the
municipal
code
indicates
that
a
historic
district
may
be
designated
providing,
provided
that
the
following
three
findings
can
be
may
be
made
first,
that
the
proposed
district
and
all
contributing
resources
within
it
exhibit
exceptional
historic
significance.
AC
These
findings
are
intended
to
ensure
that
the
designation
of
any
historic
district
is
premised
not
just
on
the
merits
of
the
area,
but
also
on
the
significance
and
value
of
the
sites
and
structures
within
it
in
support
of
their
application.
The
Villa
Roma
homeowners
association
submitted
an
assessment
of
the
development
which
concluded
that
designation
was
appropriate,
given
its
history
and
embodiment
of
Garden,
City
and
garden
apartment
architecture
of
the
era.
AC
It
is
important
to
note
that
the
board
did
not
undertake
individual
evaluation
of
the
historic
Integrity
of
each
of
those
contributing
structures,
as
is
required
by
the
code.
This
designation
would
allow
each
property
to
receive
tax
reductions
through
Mills
act
contracts
which
are
intended
to
fund
the
preservation
and
restoration
of
the
city's
most
important
historic
resources.
AC
While
we
certainly
appreciate
the
passion
that
the
residents
have
for
their
Community
staff's
analysis,
which
was
provided
to
both
the
homeowners
association
and
to
the
hspb
concluded
that
both
the
site
and
the
structures
within
lacked
historic
integrity
and
did
not
represent
exceptional
historic
significance,
as
contemplated
by
our
historic
preservation
ordinance
to
Warrant,
meaning
that
you
know,
we
did
not
believe
that
it
warranted
the
designation
and
we
did
not
recommend
approval
to
the
hspb.
At
that
time.
AC
Staff
documented
changes
to
the
property
over
the
years
that
have
diminished
the
historic
integrity
and
concluded
that
this
development
is
not
exemplary
of
the
garden
apartment
typology
typical
of
this
period
and
therefore
not
of
significant
historic
significance.
Again.
Staff
like
that.
There
has
also
been
no
evaluation
of
the
on-site
building
and
structures
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
code's
requirement
that
a
majority
of
the
properties
and
buildings
within
the
district
constitute
exceptional
historic
significance
and
integrity.
AC
As
I
mentioned
designation
would
allow
the
properties
to
receive
tax
reductions
through
the
Mills
act
and
staff
are
concerned
about
the
long-term
Integrity
of
the
city's
historic
preservation
preservation
program.
If
designation
is
granted
without
clearly
meeting
the
criteria
established
in
our
code
as
the
property
is
within
the
reservation,
the
application
was
also
circulated
to
the
tribe's
historic
preservation
officer,
as
I
mentioned,
who
concurred
with
staff's
conclusion
that
designation
of
the
site
is
not
warranted
at
this
time.
AC
Despite
this
analysis,
the
hspv
did
vote
to
advance
a
fair,
a
favorable
recommendation
to
council
and
the
resolution
in
your
packages
tonight
would
Grant
the
historic
designation
in
accordance
with
their
recommendation.
Alternatively,
should
the
council
not
wish
to
Grant
the
historic
district
designation,
you
may
vote
to
deny
the
resolution
that
is
in
your
packages.
This
concludes
my
presentation
and
both
myself
and
Ken.
Lyons
are
available
for
questions
and
I
know
that
the
applicants
are
also
present
to
speak
to
this
as
well.
AC
AD
AC
D
AC
AC
Have
done
that
in
the
past?
I
think
it's
about
evaluating.
You
know
the
the
site
or
the
structure
you
know
what's
going
on
holistically
and
looking
at
it
within
the
context
of
what's
going
on
to
determine
you
know
if
the
changes
were
significant
enough
to
to
prevent
us
from
designating
it
or
sort
of
what
the
context
is.
AC
I
think
here,
Ken
Lyons,
who
was
our
historic
preservation
of
the
off
officer
at
the
time
that
this
was
reviewed
in
looking
at
it
with
his
expertise,
determined
that
you
know
generally,
the
the
site
itself
is
not
representative
of
the
sort
of
mid-century
architecture
that
we
have
come
to
designate
in
Palm
Springs
and
the
changes
were
made
that
were
made
were
such
that
it
didn't
sort
of
rise
to
the
level
of
historic
significance
at
this
point.
So
that
was
the
determination
that
we
made
as
staff
just.
AC
I'm,
sorry,
let
me
clarify
so
the
report
itself
was
highlighting
certain
architectural
elements
associated
with
mid-century
architecture
of
Garden,
Apartments
and
Garden
City
architecture,
and
that
was
sort
of
the
impetus
for
them.
Submitting
the
application
and
staff's
review
believed
that
it
didn't
rise
to
the
level
of
significant
historic,
historic,
significant
historic
Resource,
as
contemplated
by
our
ordinance
as
as
presented
in
the
report
that
they
submitted.
Okay.
So.
D
AC
D
AC
D
AE
D
AE
City
does
have
another
section
of
the
ordinance
that
allows
for
historic
preservation,
overlays
it's
similar
in
nature.
It
does
not
put
the
same
kind
of
benefits
onto
that
particular
area.
There's
also
things
that
property
owners
can
do
in
terms
of
restrictive
historic
covenants
in
which
the
individual,
Property
Owners
or
an
HOA
in
this
case
could
impose
restrictive
covenants
on
the
title
of
their
properties,
which
would
also
limit
what
could
be
done
to
them
in
the
future.
Z
AE
Well,
it's
interesting
because
it's
an
ordinance
section
that
in
my
time
here
with
the
city
for
17
years,
has
never
been
put
in
place
or
used,
but
it
would
basically
follow
a
similar
process
in
which
the
application
would
go
before
the
city's
Historic.
Site
preservation
board
consider
the
characteristics
of
it
and
make
a
recommendation
to
the
city
council.
It's
similar
to
any
other
overlay
that
the
council
has
considered,
such
as
the
Downtown
parking,
ordinance
and
others.
AC
Z
AC
And
to
follow
up
on
that
sorry,
if
I
may
I
I
believe
since
they
have
done
all
of
the
work
with
the
report
that
they
have
I,
think
if
Council
were
to
direct
us
to
go
back
to
hsbb
and
have
them
consider
it
through
that
process.
We
could
work
with
both
the
HOA
and
the
hspb
to
have
them.
Consider
that,
but,
as
Ken
saying,
there's
sort
of
a
different
set
of
consideration
that
we
need
to
make,
but
we
could
certainly
work
with
them.
If
that's
your
wish,.
Z
Z
The
historic
State
preservation
officer
for
the
tribe
and
I
did
read
the
220
Pages
attached
to
this,
including
the
staff
report.
Do
we
have
we
don't
have
minutes
from
that?
Historic
Site,
a
preservation
officer
with
a
tribe,
or
do
we
just
get
a
decision?
How
does
that
work?
And
can
you
just
educate
me
because
I'm
trying
to
remember
sitting
up
here
for
five
years,
how
many
times
I've
seen
that
on
tribal
land
and
how
many
times
we've
gone
against
the
tribal
historic
preservation
officer.
AE
Sure,
with
the
ordinance
revisions
that
happened
in
2019
and
2020,
the
ordinance
recognized
the
tribe
Sovereign
control
over
tribal
lands.
So
when
there
is
a
application
that
comes
to
the
city
on
feland
on
the
reservation,
we
forward
it
to
the
tribal
historic
preservation
officer
for
comment
and
they
provide
those
comments
back
to
us.
We
got
the
comments
late
in
this
particular
case
from
the
tribal
preservation
officer
it
came
in
between
tonight's
hearing
and
the
hearing
that
the
hspb
had
and
the
letter
that
came
in
from
the
tribal
preservation
officer
is
in
your
packet.
Z
Thank
you
so
much
and
then,
if
I'll
look
for
it
as
we
open
the
public
hearing,
but
if
you
do
have
the
page
number
I
will
take
it
and
then
can
you
think
so.
I
love
seeing
that.
Thank
you
for
explaining
that
that
that's
a
new
process
that
we
set
forward,
I
love
seeing
that
and
the
deference
to
tribal
sovereignty.
So
thank
you,
and
so
this
would
be
our
first
example.
Under
the
new
ordinance,
where
we
have
that
opinion
from
the
tribal
Historic
Site
preservation
officer,
we
might
be
making
a
different
decision
than
them.
AE
Well,
since
the
ordinance
has
gone
in
place
anytime,
the
planning
department
receives
an
application
for
historic
designation.
That's
on
the
reservation.
We
always
forward
it
to
the
tribal
preservation
officer
in
the
past.
We've
not
received
comments.
Typically
from
them.
We
have
had
one
particular
application
that
came
in
that
was
actually
on
allotted
land
rather
than
fee,
simple
land,
in
which
case
we
take
that
entire
application
and
forward
it
to
the
tribal
preservation
officer
and
they
make
the
decision.
In
that
case,
we've.
Z
E
AE
AC
AB
AC
Part
of
the
intention
behind
those
revisions
was
to
ensure
the
Integrity
of
the
program,
and
so
we
did
make
those
revisions
to
sort
of
ensure
that
what
we
were
considering
for
designation
sort
of
met
ever
more
robust
set
of
criteria
than
we
had
been
in
the
past.
So
you
know
some
of
that
was
precipitated
by
prior
decisions.
If
that
makes
sense,.
E
AE
No,
we
did
explain
that
that
was
an
additional
characteristic
that
they
did
need
to
make
the
findings
on
the
to
the
best
of
my
knowledge.
They
looked
at
this
as
a
whole
as
a
complete
District.
There's
some
subtle
differences
between
what
happens
in
the
National
register
criteria
and
what
happens
in
Palm
Springs
register.
So
many
people
and
organizations,
including
our
own,
are
familiar
with
the
national
register.
Z
AC
I
I'm
not
sure
there
would
be
a
legal
liability
and
I'll
look
to
our
City
attorney.
To
answer
that
I
think
our
concern
is
more
sort
of
policy
and
procedural
and
sort
of
setting
precedent
which
someone
had
mentioned
earlier
and
and
just
ensuring
that
we
are
following
our
rules
and
maintaining
the
Integrity
of
our
program.
I
think
Council
certainly
has
a
lot
of
discretion
in
how
they
apply
the
program,
but
I
will,
at
this
point,
look
to
the
attorney.
Thank.

A
AE
There's
two
ways:
an
application
can
come
before
the
city:
they
can
come
from
a
property
owner
in
the
case
of
an
individual
site
or
they
can
come
from
a
group
of
property
owners
or
even
a
neighborhood
organization
when
it's
a
district,
that's
being
considered
such
as
the
one
before
you.
The
second
way
that
an
application
can
come
before
the
council
in
the
hspb
is
if
the
city
initiates
it
itself,
and
that
has
happened
in
a
number
of
different
instances
over
time.
A
A
Just
want
to
make
sure
I
understand
the
process.
I
haven't
seen.
We
see
a
lot
of
these
and
usually
it's
always
overwhelming
support
by
all
all
sides.
So
it's
unusual
to
have
staff
disagree,
but
hspv
think
that
it
is
of
significance
and
then,
of
course,
you
have
the
property
owners
who
also
agree.
Thank
you
for
clarifying
that.
Do
we
have
any
additional
questions
for
staff,
no,
seeing
none,
we
will
move
to
our
public
hearing.
The
public
hearing
is
now
open
and
the
public
is
invited
to
speak
on
this
public
hearing
for
up
to
two
minutes.
A
AF
I
just
want
to
highlight
the
importance
of
preserving
this
type
of
historic
architecture
that
is
Villa
Roma
for
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
Villa
Roma
is
a
great
example
of
modernist
lifestyle.
Garden
condominium,
designed
by
James
Schuler
Associates
in
1963..
Each
of
the
69
units
are
built
around
garden
areas
so
that
the
residents
walk
out
their
doors
and
into
a
park-like
setting
rather
than
a
busy
street.
AF
A

Thank
you,
madam
mayor
and
Council.
My

I'm.
The
Villa
Roma
HOA
president
and
I've
been
a
resident
at
Villa
Roma
for
15
years.
We
started
this
historic
designation
process
almost
three
years
ago
and
our
homeowners
have
been
very
patient
and
very
supportive
of
this.
We
had
over
80
percent
of
our
homeowners
vote
in
favor
of
applying
for
this
historic
designation.
That's
56
out
of
69
units,
so
anyone
who's
ever
driven
down,
Avenida
Granada
in
South,
Palm
Springs
I'm
sure,
can
recognize
our
complex.
AG
AG
Excuse
me
I'm,
coming
over
getting
over
a
cold,
there
are
very
few
residential
communities
in
today's
societies.
Let's
say
that
can
boast
that
we
have
a
community
like
we
do
at
Villa
Roma,
and
our
residents
believe
that
and
I
believe
that
it's
part
of
the
fabric
of
the
Villa,
Roma
I,
think
and
that
is
owed
in
large
part
to
how
villaroma
was
designed
purposefully
designed
with
the
garden
home
layout,
the
green
spaces
and
the
Roman
theme.
AG
AH
Madam
mayor
mayor,
Pro,
tem
and
council
members,
I'm
Peter,
maruti
I,
can't
remember
the
last
time.
I
disagreed
with
the
historic
preservation
officer's
staff
recommendations,
but
I
respectfully
disagree
this
time
and
here's
why
villaroma
does
exhibit
an
exceptional
level
of
historic
significance
and
integrity
to
qualify
for
district
designation
by
meeting
criteria.
C
and
F
under
Criterion
C
villaromas,
elaborately
themed,
Roman
setting
absolutely
exemplifies
a
particular
period
of
local
history,
which
is
mid-1960s
Palm

under
Criterion

Roman
Motif
is
quirky
and
unique,
but
does
not
exhibit
exceptional
historic
significance.
I
strongly
disagree.
AH
AI
Mayor
and
council
members
I
am
a
resident
there
and
I'm,
not
an
expert
in
this,
but
you
all
know
our
sense
of
community
and
I
just
want
to
state
that
in
the
last
several
weeks
we
were
together
in
the
clubhouse
for
a
Super
Bowl
party.
We
were
out
in
the
Venus
statue
area
for
modernism
waving
at
the
buses
going
by
and
this
weekend,
they're
having
the
apartments
or
the
houses
face,
each
other
they're
having
a
community
dog
in
the
little
section
of
grasses.
AI
So
all
of
these
areas
are
utilized
in
different
ways,
because
we
face
one
another
and
when
you
walk
out
your
door,
you
know
everybody
in
the
community.
I
know
that
you've
all
or
you
maybe
you've
asked
about
Villa
Roma.
But
everybody
will
say
what
a
wonderful
Community
is
to
live
in
going
back
to
the
Statue
and
I'm.
Not
an
expert
in
this,
but
apparently
it
was
vandalized
in
the
Historic
Society
years
ago.
Did
pay
half
for
the
re
to
have
it
taken
care
of.
So
we
are
a
known
factor
in
the
community.
O
Good
evening,
I'm
Ron
Marshall
from
the
Palm
Springs
preservation,
Foundation
I've,
had
the
privilege
to
write
nine
historic
nominations
for
the
city,
including
two
historic
district
nominations.
So
I
would
ask
you
to
believe
me
when
I
say
Villa
Roma
absolutely
deserves
historic
designation,
but
if
you
don't
believe
me,
please
believe
famous
architectural
historian,
Alan
Hess,
who
has
written
a
letter
brilliantly
explaining
why
villaroma
is
so
important.
You'll
find
the
letter
buried
on
page
207
of
your
staff
report.
O
O
While
staff
has
probably
spent
a
few
hours
at
Villa
Roma
in
2015,
my
wife
and
I
had
the
opportunity
to
rent
a
unit
at
Villa
Roma
for
three
months
we
were
entranced
I
know.
You've
all
heard
the
phrase
sense
of
place
well,
Villa
Roma
is
drowning
in
it.
In
closing,
the
city's
preservation
program
is
at
its
heart,
an
advocacy
program.
O
AJ
Good
evening
a
mayor
and
City
Council
Members,
my
name
is
Kyle
Gunderson
I'm,
a
resident
of
Villa
Roma
I
want
to
note
that
our
residents
have
really
come
together
to
work
towards
improved
architectural
guidelines,
Corrections
and
repairs.
In
less
than
two
years,
ten
percent
of
the
units
have
turned
over
and
extensive
Renovations
have
been
made
by
the
new
owners,
as
well
as
existing
owners
that
continue
to
invest
in
our
complex
given
time.
AJ
AK
Hi
I'm
Pamela,
Hanna
I'm,
a
resident
at
Villa,
Roma
and
I
had
a
bunch
of
notes,
and
then
staff
started
talking
and
I
scratched
it
up.
So
I
just
want
to
sort
of
concise
my
comments
to
this
we're
we
at
Villa
Roma,
very
passionate,
and
we
feel
we
are
a
very
important
part
of
the
fabric,
the
historic
fabric
of
Palm,
Springs
and
our
architect
in
modernist
architecture.
AK
The
intent
is
to
create
a
Leisure
Lifestyle
living
independently,
but
but
also
providing
your
residents
a
way
to
gather
we
today,
60
some
years
later,
are
living
the
intent
that
our
architect
intended
so
many
years
ago,
We
Gather
several
times
a
year
and
we're
very
proud
of
our
architecture,
and
it
brings
us
together
and
what
we
have
is
very
unique
and
we're
asking
tonight
for
your
help.
We
want
you
to
help
guide
us
in
how
we
protect
this
historic
gym.
AK
What's
the
process
for
moving
forward,
we
feel
we're
in
a
little
bit
of
a
battle
with
staff,
and
we
have
great
support
from
the
committee.
How
help
us
preserve
this
great
gym?
How
do
we
do
that?
And
it's
really
poignant,
I
think
for
us
to
come
before
you
during
modernism
week
because,
as
Lisa
said
every
day,
tour
buses
go
by
on
Avenida
Granada
and
they
take
a
few
minutes
to
look
at
us
and
they
get
they
get.
What
part
of
a
unique
historic,
Palm
Springs
history
we
are
they
get
it.
Why
doesn't
everybody
else?
AK
AL
Good
evening,
honorable
mayor
and
city
council,
I'm
Steve
Vaught
and
I'm
the
one
who
was
lucky
enough
to
write
the
report,
the
nomination
for
the
Villa
Roma,
so
I
guess
you
can
already
guess
what
my
stand
is
on
it.
I,
don't
normally
read
speeches,
but
I
want
to
stay
on
point
and
on
time
tonight.
So
let
me
begin.
AL
I
came
here
to
support
Villa
Roma's
nomination
in
the
strongest
possible
way.
I
can
I'm
going
to
try
to
focus,
because
my
time
is
so
limited
on
one
particular
aspect
of
this
debate.
It
seems
to
me
that
the
Villa
Roma's
greatest
asset
is
its
Rome
meets
mid-century
hybrid,
and
that
is
also
what's
causing
some
to
dismiss
it
as
historic
preservationists.
We
of
course,
are
always
looking
to
the
past,
but
we
must
also
look
to
the
Future.
AL
Some
of
our
most
treasured
architectural
assets
were
once
underappreciated
or
unappreciated
by
previous
generations,
who
failed
to
see
that
they
had
architectural
Merit.
Unfortunately,
so
many
have
fallen
to
the
wrecking
ball.
As
a
result,
we
have
to
be
constantly
on
guard
to
avoid
missing
an
opportunity.
We
may
later
regret
when
it
comes
to
evaluating
something
that
does
not
neatly
fit
into
preconceived
perceptions
of
what
deserves
preservation
and
what
does
not.
AL
Sometimes
it
takes
time.
Sometimes
it
takes
decades
even
centuries
for
certain
types
of
architecture
to
be
seen
clearly
for
what
it
is.
That's
why
the
National
Trust
for
historic
preservation
has
become
looking
ahead,
addressing
this
very
issue
at
a
future
landmarks,
more
modern
structures
that
may
not
may
not
be
important
today
in
their
minds,
but
one
day
will
be
historic
in
Palm
Springs.
We
should
do
the
same,
keeping
one
eye
on
the
past
and
the
other
on
the
future.
AL
Some
roadside
architecture,
motels,
diners
and
apartments,
may
not
be
taken
seriously
because
they
are
built
with
pseudo-classic
or
exotic
themes,
but
these
are
already
finding
a
growing
appreciation
from
a
new
generation
who
love
them
for
their
retro
charm
and
vintage
feeling
they
evoke.
Those
of
us
of
a
certain
age
have
a
lifelong
memories
of
road
trips
across
the
country,
dining
at
heroic
Greek
diners
road
trip
staying
in
place
like
the
Safari
and
our
Aztec
Motor
Lodge
oops
I'm
over
time
too
I'm.
So
sorry,
thank
you.
Please
support
Villa
Roma.
AM
Hello,
thank
you,
honorable
mayor
and
the
council
for
allowing
me
the
opportunity
to
voice
my
support.
My
wife,
Jasmine
and
I
are
recent
transplants
to
Palm
Springs,
and
we
are
both
architects
and
one
of
the
reasons
we
bought
in
Villa
Roma
was
because
of
this
mid-century
presence,
and
it
is
timely
that
it
is
modernism
week
as
busloads
of
tourists
and
bike
tours
go
past.
AM
Our
property
and
I
think
it's
important
that
Tom
Maine,
the
architect
from
La
gave
a
keynote
lecture
for
as
part
of
modernism
week,
but
basically
explains
mid-century
modernism
in
the
Palm.
Springs
sense
is
crucial
to
the
development
of
La
itself
that
these
two
should
be
seen.
Synonymous
and
Palm.
Springs
is
not
just
an
afterthought.
AM
We
were
the
Vanguard
in
the
1960s,
especially
with
biliroma
being
the
first
one
of
the
first
condominium
complexes
in
the
country.
So
it
is
in
this
language
of
access
to
real
estate,
access
to
the
promise
of
modernism
for
the
middle
class,
not
only
now,
but
but
back
then
as
well,
and
it
is
in
the
spirit
of
Hollywood
Regency
which,
as
sometimes
often
derided
as
Kitsch
I,
don't
think
it's
any
less
catch
than
the
Royal
Hawaiian,
which
also
has
historic,
designation.
AM
Just
because
it
wasn't
a
named
architect
or
a
developer
does
not
mean
it's
any
less
relevant.
I
think
we
need
to
be
mindful
of
the
opportunity
we
have
here
and
I.
Think
it's
important
as
well
that
we
as
a
we
as
a
group
of
people,
see
preservation
as
advocacy
and
not
just
a
static
approach
to
fixing
the
world
is
the
singular
image.
Thank
you.
AN
Okay,
thank
you.
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
wonderful,
I'm,
the
community
manager
for
Villa
Roma,
with
my
firm,
having
managed
the
community
for
12
years
I'm
here
to
show
my
support
for
the
community
in
achieving
their
historic
designation
status.
Not
only
do
I
believe
the
association
meets
the
criteria
for
designation,
but
I
believe,
based
on
first-hand
interaction
with
the
membership
that
the
association
will
proudly
and
properly
maintain
the
designation
for
its
intended
purpose
as
a
benefit
to
the
city.
AN
Over
the
years,
I
have
met
with
hundreds
of
contractors
and
other
professionals
at
villaroma,
most
mentioned
how
impressed
they
were
with
the
unique
Architectural
Components,
with
many
under
the
impression
that
the
association
already
was
a
historic
district.
The
association
has
been
approached
for
photo
shoots
with
Esquire
UK
and
French
magazine
Madame
Figaro,
as
their
photographer
believed
villaroma
to
be
a
beautiful
representation
of
Palm
Springs.
This
was
very
flattering,
especially
coming
from
halfway
across
the
globe.
The
only
reason
I
can
think
that
one
may
not
wish
to
Grant.
AN
The
designation
is
because
an
abundance
of
historic
sites
May
imply,
is
not
as
prestigious
a
designation.
However,
if
a
school
has
numerous
Dean's
List
recipients,
it
speaks
highly
of
and
adds
interest
to
the
school.
It
does
not
downplay
others
achievements.
Each
time
the
award
is
earned
and
granted.
Villa
Roma
has
a
wonderful
story
to
tell
and
I
hope
that
you'll
strongly
consider
approving
the
historic
designation
application.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
AN
AO
Hi
I
am
Dr
Sharon,
Siegel
and
I'm
Madam
mayor
mayor,
Pro,
tem,
council
members,
I
wish
you'd
come
over
here
and
take
a
walk.
Our
place
is
absolutely
lovely
and
these
structures
are
varied.
They
are
absolutely
mid-century
modern
and
it's
such
a
refreshing
place
to
live.
It's
not
tenement
style.
The
condos
are
not
squished
up
against
each
other.
AO
Every
path
was
just
in
bloom,
with
enormous
and
beautiful
shrubs
and
flowers,
and
then
we
went
to
desertscape,
so
we
can't
really
claim
the
the
petunias
and
the
poppies,
but
we
have
more
than
met
our
goals
in
the
careful
use
of
water.
So,
yes,
we
are
Garden
Apartments
and
we
are
very
definitely
mid-century
modern.
AO
A
Z
You
I
have
a
question
for
staff
and
thank
you
so
much
for
everyone
who
participated
in
this.
It's
great
to
see
everyone's
love
of
Palm
Springs
and
our
unique
design,
and
to
have
so
many
esteemed
preservationists,
and
so
many
more
in
the
room
so
appreciate
your
input
and
love
of
our
community.
I
just
have
a
question
for
staff.
I
hear
staff's
concern
that
hspb
didn't
follow
the
proper
procedure
and
process
under
our
ordinance
for
historic,
designation
of
a
district,
and
obviously
we
want
to
follow
our
ordinance.
Z
That's
why
we
wrote
it
that
way,
and
so,
if
what
what
are
the
options
for
council
tonight
in
terms
of
sending
it
back
to
hsbb,
to
make
that
analysis
and
bring
it
back
to
council
I
assume
council
could
also
make
the
findings
tonight
and
then
send
a
message
to
hsbb
that
we'd
like
them
to
follow
the
ordinance
and
really
consider
all
the
considerations.
You
know,
can
you
so?
Can
you
just
lay
out
for
us,
as
we
make
a
motion
here
or
consider
one?
What
are
the
alter?
All
the
alternatives
for
us
to
pursue.
AC
Sure,
yeah
I
think
that
you
have
a
bit
of
latitude
here
and
what
you'd
elect
to
do
so
option.
One
is,
obviously,
you
know
approved,
as
recommended
by
the
hspb
option.
Two
would
be
could
be
to
sort
of
you
know,
continue
it
and
send
it
back
to
the
hsbd
PB,
for
additional
consideration
under
the
ordinance
and
to
undertake
the
evaluation
of
the
individual
resources
and
return
to
you
with
sort
of
updated
findings.
AC
Y
Okay,
thank
you.
This
is
a
comment.
I've
actually
been
on
Villa
Roma,
not
a
lot
of
times,
but
a
number
of
times.
It
is
in
my
district
and
it's
an
incredibly
lovely
location
and
the
homeowners
there
are
frequently
of
more
modest
means
and
I.
Think
the
historic
designation
is
something
that
we
should
move
forward
with.
I
am
open
to
sending
it
back
to
hspb,
to
make
sure
that
we
have
followed
all
of
the
appropriate
procedures.
But,
ultimately
I'm
supportive
of
these
homeowners.
D
I
did
not
know
just
how
tight
a
community
it
was
until
this
came
up
and
and
I
think
that
is
something
that
is
truly
special
in
Palm
Springs
and
regardless
of
whether
people
think
it's
kitschy
or
whatever
the
style
is
I
I,
don't
I,
think
that's
subjective
and
I
think
it
is
certainly
historically
significant
and
I
do
think
that
this
should
be
a
class
one.
Historic
designation
that
said,
I
find
it
very
difficult
to
go
against.
D
The
rules
of
the
ordinance
in
my
direction
would
be
if
you
can
follow
the
rules
that
have
the
review
of
the
individual,
contributing
factors
and
go
through
it,
and
it
was
follow.
The
ordinance
I
would
be
very
much
in
supportive
of
this
getting
the
designation
and
that
that's
it's
a
bit
of
a
struggle
for
me,
because
I
very
much
would
want
to
just
say
yes
right
away,
but
without
following
the
ordinance
that
the
city
has
determined
I,
don't
feel
that
I
can
do
that
in
good
conscience.
Z
AC
I've
been
hearing
the
direction
that
council's
going
in
I
think
it
sounds
like
there's.
A
lot
of
support
for
the
designation,
I
would
say
staff's
preliminary
evaluation
is
that
we
do
not
believe
from
our
evaluation
that
they
would
be
able
to
make
the
finding
on
the
individual
contributing
resources.
So
we
would
likely
return
to
you
with
similar
comments
from
staff
from.
AC
Z
E
D
A
Congratulations
all
right.
We
are
moving
on
to
the
next
item,
which
is
item
2B,
a
public
hearing
for
a
request
for
extension
of
time
for
a
tentative
tracked
map
approval
associated
with
the
construction
of
a
six-story,
73
300
square
foot,
mixed
use,
building
with
45
for
sale,
residential
units
and
ground
floor
commercial
located
on
Block
B
of
the
Downtown
Palm
Springs
specific
plan
at
200,
North,
belardo,
Road,
Zone,
CBD,.
A
H
Good
evening,
mayor
and
members
of
council,
the
matter
before
you
is
for
the
development
of
Block
B
of
our
downtown
within
the
Downtown
Palm
Springs
specific
plan.
It
involves
one
of
the
two
entitlements
for
the
project.
It
is
the
subdivision
component
of
the
the
development
project.
The
major
architectural
application
was
originally
approved,
as
well
as
the
subdivision
map
for
the
project
back
in
January
of
21.,
and
it
does
involve
73
000
square
foot,
commercial
and
residential
building.
H
H
So
this
is
the
map
on
your
screen
here,
it's
kind
of
hard
to
see
what
is
included
as
an
attachment
to
your
staff
report
just
for
background
purposes.
This
is
the
building
that
was
approved
back
in
January
of
21,
and
this
just
shows
a
rendering
of
the
proposed
building
from
the
southwest
Vantage
Point,
looking
to
the
Northeast
so
standing
near
the
intersection
of
Lardo,
Road
and
Museum
way,.
H
So
the
matter
before
you
again
is
an
extension
of
the
subdivision
map.
The
Planning
Commission
back
on
January
25th
of
this
year
approved
the
major
architectural
extension
for
an
additional
year.
They
also
recommended
approval
of
the
time
extension
map
or
the
time
extension
for
the
subvision
map
to
the
city
council.
The
seven
criteria
that
were
evaluated
are
shown
here
on
the
screen
and
in
response
to
the
first
item,
the
journal
plan
and
specific
plan
designate
the
site
as
Central
business
district.
H
The
project
remains
consistent
with
these
plans,
so
there
is
really
no
issue
there
in
terms
of
the
second
item:
appropriateness
and
validity
of
the
original
findings.
The
project
still
comprises
of
45
for
sale,
Condominiums
with
ground
floor
retail,
although
there
were
minor
changes
that
were
reviewed
and
evaluated
by
the
Architectural
Review
Committee,
the
project,
layout
design
and
overall
scope
remained
the
same
in
terms
of
item
number
three
environmental
changes
in
the
site
surrounding
again.
H
H
Item
number
six:
reasonable,
substantial
and
timely
efforts,
kind
of
similar
to
the
previous
item.
They
did
submit,
building
permits
back
in
November
of
21
and
they've
had
two
revisions
since
that
time.
Our
engineering
department
has
also
received
their
final
map
and
has
been
in
process
with
that
and
has
had
two
revisions
or
two
reviews
as
well.
H
Finally,
the
last
one,
which
is
usually
the
most
difficult
one
to
make
relative
to
the
seven
criteria,
extenuating
circumstances
that
are
not
within
the
applicant's
control,
as
described
in
the
applicant
letter.
There
has
been
some
issue
with
regards
to
the
Department
of
industrial
relations
and
the
proposed
project,
and
given
that
this
is
a
public-private
partnership,
there
is
a
unique
circumstance
here
with
this
potential
complaint
that
has
been,
or
with
this
complaint
that
has
been
filed
with
the
Department
of
industrial
relations,
and
so
the
applicant
has
been
making
progress
towards
resolving
that
matter.
H
They
also
cite
the
issue
of
the
pandemic,
obviously
causing
delays
with
the
project,
so
that
is
SAS
that
completes
SAS
presentation
again.
This
item
was
presented
to
the
Planning
Commission
in
January.
They
did
recommend
approval,
as
outlined
in
the
findings
near
staff
report
and
draft
resolution.
Thank
you.
Y
A
A
Z
Second,
the
motion
and
I
just
want
to
disclose
I
call
the
applicant
and
asked
about
the
graffiti
Park
and
the
status
of
the
project,
and
thank
you
to
the
applicant
or
the
you
have
applicant
for
putting
something
in
the
in
place
as
we
wait
for
this
project.
I
think
it's
a
great
addition
to
the
community
and
appreciate
that,
since
so
many
projects
do
not
have
that,
and
so
just
want
to
disclose
that,
but
fully
support.
Z
A
A
Before
we
do,
the
roll
call
I
will
just
say
there
was
this
unforeseen
delay
and
if
it
were
not
for
that,
this
project
would
have
already
moved
forward,
and
the
staff
report
does
did
indicate
that
this
would
be
moving
forward
by
the
end
of
summer
and
which
is
part
of
why
I
also
will
support
allowing
for
this
extension.
Can
we
have
a
roll
call
vote?
Please,
council,
member
de
heart.
C
A
The
next
item
is
item
2C,
a
public
hearing
under
section
53083
of
the
California
government
code
to
approve
a
hotel
operations
Covenant
between
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
and
Bell
Lofts
LLC,
a
California
limited
company
pursuant
to
the
city's
Hotel
operations
incentive
program.
And
while
we
wait
for
mayor
Pro,
tem
Bernstein
to
get
back,
I
will
say
that
after
this
item
is
finished,
we
will
take
a
10
minute
break.
A
E
AP
Thank
you
mayor
mayor,
Pro,
temen,
council
members.
This
proposed
action
is
to
hold
a
public
hearing
to
consider
a
hotel
operations,
Covenant
agreement
with
bell
Lofts
LLC,
the
owner
of
Descanso
Resort.
The
owners
have
applied
Under,
The,
Phase
2
Hotel
renovation
program
to
enter
into
the
operations
Covenant
to
help
Finance
Renovations
at
the
Descanso
Resort,
located
at
288
East
Camino
Monte
Vista,
which
is
south
of
East
Vista
Chino
and
north
of
East
tachova
Drive.
AP
AP
The
improvements
include
new
carpeting
new
reception
area,
furniture
lobby
desk
new
patio,
furniture,
signage
Wi-Fi
equipment
and
EV
car
charging
station
and
window
treatments
as
as
well
as
wall
treatments
and
beds.
The
total
project
expenditures
were
six
hundred
forty
thousand
dollars,
which
is
the
maximum
amount
belloff's
LLC
would
be
entitled
to
receive
through
the
program.
AP
There
are
certain
Financial
controls
in
the
program,
one
of
them
being
a
three
percent
increase
to
the
base.
Interesting
to
describe
the
program
works
by
splitting
taking
50
percent
of
the
new
tot
over
a
certain
base
of
what
they
were
already
producing.
So
the
city
does
not
lose
the
amount
of
what
they
were
already
producing.
Well,
that
base
increases
annually
at
the
CPI
or
three
percent.
Whichever
is
greater
so
that
there's
not
an
artificial
Gap
being
created
it
tracks
with
inflation.
AP
The
tot
sharing
ends
after
10
years,
and
the
amount
that
the
hotel
owner
can
receive
is
capped
at
the
amount
of
their
investment.
So
that's
640
thousand
dollars
and
staff
would
recommend
approval
of
the
hotel
operations
incentive
agreement
with
bell
Lofts
LLC
and
is
available
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have
seriously
public
hearing.
Thank.

A

A
A
Are
going
to
return
to
open
session
and
the
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
item
3A,
a
resolution
of
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
Palm,
Springs,
terminating
the
local
covid-19
emergency
effect
of
February,
8,
2023
and
Direction
regarding
third
party
food
delivery
fees
and
teleconferencing?
May
we
have
a
staff
report?
Please.
F
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
clerk.
Members
of
the
council
before
you,
this
item
is
to
is
whether
to
terminate
the
local
covid-19
emergency
that
was
declared
by
the
Council
on
March
14th
of
2020..
The
primary
effect
of
the
declared
emergency
was
twofold.
The
first
was
to
provide
this
city
with
the
ability
to
issue
emergency
orders.
F
The
city
manager
terminated
all
emergency
orders,
with
one
exception
that
I'll
get
to
later,
and
state
and
federal
funding
are
no
longer
present,
as
it
pertains
to
covid-19
funding
as
such
Council
or
as
such
City
staff
and
the
city
attorney's
office
recommends
ending
the
local
emergency
on
February
28th,
which
is
later
this
month.
That
date
coincides
with
the
end
of
the
state
of
emergency
by
Governor
Newsom
on
the
state
level.
F
The
one
emergency
ordinance
that
was
codified
relates
to
food
delivery
fees.
These
regulations
are
tied
to
the
local,
a
state
of
emergency,
so
in
the
event
that
you
decide
to
end
the
local
state
of
emergency,
there
is
a
sunset
Clause,
the
food
regulations,
the
food
delivery
fee
regulations
will
end
90
days
from
the
end
of
the
local
emergency.
So
that's
why
these
two
are
kind
of
tied
together
for
you
on
this
report.
F
F
The
second
regulation
is
that
food
delivery
fees
are
capped
at
15
percent
of
the
food
purchase,
and
the
third
regulation
is
that
there
are
fees
that
are
capped
at
five
percent
and
that's
what
can
be
charged
to
the
restaurant.
So,
for
example,
if
there's
a
burger,
that's
ten
dollars
and
somebody
uses
the
app
the
food
delivery
fee
cannot
be
more.
The
burger
has
to
be
ten
dollars.
F
F
There
are
two
findings
related
to
ab361
that
must
be
found
every
30
days
and
those
are
that
state
or
local
official
officials
continue
to
impose
or
recommend
measures
to
promote
social
distancing
and
that
the
legislative
body.
You
have
made
a
determination
that
the
findings
are
required
for
at
least
a
continuance
of
another
30
days,
and
we
can
touch
more
on
exactly
what
those
findings
are.
F
F
You
can
attend
remotely
under
the
following,
and
I
can
read
them
for
you.
It's
whether
child
care
or
child,
giving
or
whether
child
care
or
caregiving
needs
for
a
child,
parent,
grandparent,
sibling,
spouse
or
domestic
partner
requires
that
remote
participation,
whether
you
have
a
contagious
illness
that
prevents
in-person
attendance,
whether
you
have
a
physical
or
mental
disability,
need
that
requires
remote
participation
or
whether
you're
traveling
on
official
business
or
another
state,
or
look
to
another
state
or
local
agency.
So
those
are
the
exceptions
for
a
request
to
be
made
under
ab2449
for
just
cause.
F
F
The
second
option,
if
you
decide
to
move
forward
with
remote
participation
under
ab2449,
is
to
attend
remotely
when
there's
an
emergency
circumstance
and
that
is
defined
under
under
the
law
under
the
bill
as
a
physical
or
Family
Medical
Emergency
that
prevents
in-person
attendance
under
the
emergency
circumstance
exception
there
need.
There
must
be
a
vote
by
the
body
to
approve
that
member
from
attending
remotely
or
for
attending
remotely
in
their
nest,
and
there
must
be
a
general
description
of
the
circumstances
by
that
absent
member.
F
The
limit
there
is
20
percent
of
meetings
or
no
more
than
three
consecutive
months
of
using
that
justification.
However,
for
each
each
public
meeting,
that
requests
will
need
to
be
made
and
a
determination
by
the
body
would
need
to
be
made
upon
that
request.
We
and
then.
Lastly,
the
option
is
to
not
move
forward
with
under
either
Bill
and
to
revert
back
to
the
original
requirements
of
the
brown
act,
which
generally
requires
in-person
participation
to
the
extent
you're
going
to
attend
remotely.
A
F
F
So
you
could
continue
to
make
a
finding
under
ab361
that
there
are
continued
recommendations
on
the
state
and
local
level
for
social
distancing,
and
obviously
this
is
language
that
was
drafted
prior
to
even
recommendations
about
vaccinations
and
mask
wearing.
So
the
the
terms
are
a
little
outdated,
but
under
ab361,
which
was
codified
into
the
government
code,
you
can
make
findings
with
either
a
state
of
emergency
or,
if
you
find
that
state
or
local
officials
continue
to
recommend
measures
to
promote
social,
distancing
and.
F
So
there
weren't
any
exceptions
like
this
to
appear
telephonically
other
than
making
sure
that
the
location
that
you
were
at
attending
telephonically
was
posted
on
the
agenda
and
that
location
where
you
were
appearing
telephonically
was
made
available
to
the
public.
So
you
would
have
to
post
that
and
make
that
available.
So
if
you're
at
your
home,
you
would
have
to
make
your
home
available
to
the
public
right.
F
Well,
so
ab2449
has
two
ways
to
to
justify
remote
participation.
One
is
under
just
cause
and
one
is
under
emergency
circumstances.
If
you're
to
use
the
just
cause
justification,
you
can
only
use
that
twice
in
a
calendar
year
if
you
use
the
emergency
circumstances,
that
limit
is
no
more
than
20
percent
of
meetings
or
three
consecutive
months.
F
F
A
Thank
you
all
right,
council
members,
I
know,
there's
there's
a
lot
on
the
table
here,
but
just
to
to
clarifies
that
we
are
being
asked
to
terminate
local
covet
emergency
orders.
The
second
item
is
to
address
the
food
delivery
ordinance
and
then
the
third
is
which
teleconferencing
item
we
want,
which
is
what
I
was
just
asking
questions
about.
Z
Hostage,
thank
you,
madam
mayor
who's,
going
to
address
all
if
I
can
quickly
go
ahead
and
then
I'll
hear
from
Council
what
you
all
think
would
love
to
deliberate
together,
but
one
I'd
like
to
see
us
remove
the
covid
emergency
order,
as
the
governor
is
doing.
I
think
that
makes
sense
to
be
consistent.
I
just
would
want
to
make
sure
that
we've
applied
for
all
fun
state
and
federal
that
are
possibly
available
to
us.
It
sounds
like
we
have
done
so
and
that
work
is
completed
so
making
sure
that's
completed.
Z
I
support
that
I.
Very
much
would
like
to
see
us
at
least
move
forward
with
the
third
party
food
delivery
fees,
I'd
love
to
hear
from
mayor
Pro,
tem,
Bernstein
and
restaurants
and
get
more
input.
I,
don't
know
how
well
it's
being
administered
and
enforced.
I
was
just
calculating
my
Postmates
delivery
fees
and
it
looks
like
it's
well
beyond
the
15
percent
Allowed
by
our
ordinance.
Z
It's
a
little
concerned
about
how
it's
worked
working
in
implementation,
but
would
love
to
see
us
continue
that
Beyond
The
Sunset
date
and
then
third,
which
I
think
is
hard
air,
is
the
teleconferencing
I
very
much
have
significant
concerns
about
ab2499
and
the
way
2449.
The
way
that
it's
written,
especially
for
people
who
might
need
medical
leave
might
be
pregnant,
might
need
caretaking
responsibilities.
Z
It
just
really
places
a
high
burden
on
those
of
us
who
might
need
to
zoom
in
from
meetings,
because
it
does
limit
to
two
for
Just
Cause
And,
then
you're
going
to
council
to
ask
for
permission
in
emergencies
and
then
still
that's
limited.
So
I
have
had
significant
conversations
with
the
city
attorney
to
understand.
Z
If
we
can
make
those
findings
because
it
just
seems
a
better
fit
for
our
community,
especially
when
people
are
so
concerned
about
covid
and
keeping
each
other
safe
during
these
times
and
being
able
to
remotely
participate
if
we're
sick
and
not
having
that
be
limited.
But
if
we
need
to
move
forward-
and
you
know
ab22449-
just
making
sure
that
we
you
know-
are
accommodating
folks
who
need
it,
but
we're
not
allowed
to
change
2449,
it
sets
the
floor
for
what
we're
allowed.
We
can't
be
less
restrictive.
We
can
only
be
more
restricted.
D
F
That
that's
a
decision
before
you.
You
can
certainly
make
the
decision
now
to
move
forward
under
2449,
which
is
a
bit
more
restrictive.
You
can
continue
and
that's
a
good
point
mayor
Pro
tem.
You
can
continue
under
ab361
up
until
January
of
next
year,
where
that's,
where
it
would
no
longer
be
an
option
to
continue
under
ab361
into
January
of
2024.
F
You
would
be
required
every
30
days
to
make
those
findings
that
we've
that
we've
made
in
the
past-
and
that
is
that
you
know
one
your
your
reconsidering
the
circumstances
of
the
state
of
emergency
and
two
that
there's
no
there's
no
longer
a
state
of
emergency.
So
two
would
be
that
state
or
local
officials
continue
to
impose
or
recommend
social
distancing.
AD
AD
D
Seems
to
me
AB,
240
2449
does
pose
some
potential
issues
that
that
councilmember
Halstead
brought
up
and
I.
Would
my
my
thinking
is
that
we
get
we
vote
to
terminate
the
emergency
order
that
we
continue
361
through
this
year,
have
better
feedback
as
to
what
happens
with
other
communities
and
then
go
to
2449
and
I.
Just
want
to
say,
I
would
vote
to
continue
the
third
party
or
create
a
new
ordinance
whatever
we
need
to
do
to
keep
the
third
party
food
delivery
restrictions.
I.
D
Think,
in
my
view,
I
think
the
pandemic
may
have
brought
to
light
certain
problems
that
have
existed
otherwise
and,
and
the
issue
may
not
just
be
because
of
a
pandemic
or
because
people
are,
it
could
be
for
people
who
have
child
care
or
people
have
disabilities
and,
and
so
or
or
immune,
are
still
immune
compromised
in
that.
You
know
that
that
it's
go,
that
the
gouging
is
something
that
we
still
do
want
to
control
to
whatever
extent
you
know.
D
A
Okay,
I
I
agree
with
the
council
members
in
terms
of
ab361,
though
I
do
want
to
clarify
that.
If
we
continue
on
that
path,
I
would
like
to
see
Council
attending
meetings
in
person
as
much
as
possible.
I,
certainly
don't
want
us
to
abuse
this
in
terms
of
just
wanting
to
go
somewhere
and
wanting
to
zoom
in
instead
I'd
like
us
to
try
to
get
on
the
path
towards
ab2449.
If
that's
what
we're
going
to
have
to
do
just
so
that
we
can
kind
of
get
used
to
this
transition
transition.
Y
F
Yes,
thank
you,
council
members,
so
under
ab2449
there
would
be
an
exception,
especially
when
you're
when
you're
sick.
That
is
one
of
the
exceptions
under
2449,
so
both
under
ab361
as
well
as
under
ab2449
council
member
Middleton,
would
be
allowed
to
appear
remotely
and
and
ab2449
I
think
will
sunset
a
couple
of
years
down.
The
line
and
I
got
to
get
that
date
for
you,
but
it's
certainly
after
the
sunset
of
ab361,
which
is
January
of
2024.
F
Y
E
Yeah,
thank
you.
Mayor,
I
I,
agree
that,
since
we
don't
have
to
address
really
the
more
ab2449
we
have
until
January
1.,
let
I
think
let
ab361
run
its
course
see
what
happens
with
ab2449
throughout
the
year.
But
let's
operate
under
AB,
361
and
I.
Think
the
third
party
delivery
fees
I
too
question
the
enforcement.
You
know
several
times.
We
have
used
the
service
and
it
definitely
was
not
applicable
so
I
like
the
idea
and
the
intent
behind
it.
E
But
I
I
would
like
to
put
a
timeline
that
we
address
it
again
and
between
now
and
and
that
end
date
that
we
really
look
to
see.
How
is
there
any
enforcement
put
in
place
here,
but
I
would
say
maybe,
through
the
end
of
the
year,
we
address
it
again
to
to
make
sure
that
it's
doing
what
we
intended
it
to
do
and
certainly
adopt
the
resolution.
Terminating
the
local
emergency.
F
You
know
I'm
not
sure,
I'm,
not
sure
how
all
the
boards
and
commissions
are
doing
it,
but
you
do
set
the
ability
for
boards
and
commissions
to
either
follow
suit
and
work
under
ab361.
You
could
also
make
a
recommendation
that
they
revert
back
to
the
brown
act,
requirements
predating
361
or
you,
as
the
council
can
make
a
recommendation
that
all
boards
and
commissions
attend
via
the
newest
one,
which
is
ab2449.
G
A
Thank
you,
so
I
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
terminate
the
emergency
ordinance
to
allow
us
to
consider
extending
the
food
delivery
ordinance
and
then
to
continue
under
ab361
until
January,
with
a
request
to
the
City
attorney
that
you
please
keep
us
updated
on
ab361
in
terms
of
how
this
this
the
findings
are.
If
there
are
any
lawsuits
again
regarding
the
findings,
because
I
I
don't
want
us
to
be
blindsided.
If
other
cities
are
being
forced
to
revert
to
ab2449
councilmember
hostage.
Z
It
sounds
like
from
my
conversations
with
the
city
attorney
that
there
are
other
assembly
bills
and
Senate
Bills
moving
forward
that
might
more
adequately
address
a
teleconferencing
and
the
way
to
do
it
in
a
way
to
accommodate
the
public
and
and
council
members
and
so
I'd
love
to
know.
If
there
are
opportunities
for
advocacy
for
the
council,
because
I
don't
think
2449
gets
it
perfectly
right
for
our
community.
Thank.
F
So
no
go
ahead.
Yeah
so
we'll
have
to
bring
an
ordinance
back
to
you.
Where
we'll
set
out
the
it
sounds
like
it's
going
to
be
a
continuance
of
the
current
regulations
that
are
in
place,
and
we
can
certainly
have
a
discussion
now
on
whether
or
not
we
want
that
ordinance
that
we're
bringing
back
to
have
a
sunset
clause,
which
I
think
is
what
councilmember
de
heart
is
getting
at.
Do
we
want
to
put
a
timeline,
as
we
did
with
the
current
ordinance,
which
was
90
days
beyond
the
termination
of
a
local
emergency?
F
C
A
AP
So
it's
it's
that
time
of
year
again
where
we
discuss
how
to
use
a
Community,
Development
block,
grant
programs
next
fiscal
year
and
as
part
of
that
process,
we
want
to
get
some
input
from
the
city
council
ideas
and
let
you
know
that
we'll
be
bringing
back
a
work
program
at
a
future
that
a
future
public
hearing
and
a
second
public
hearing
to
approve
that
work
plan.
So
there's
a
review
process
with
the
public
to
take
a
look
at
the
work
program.
AP
That's
come
up
and
that's
a
30-day
review,
so
we
will
go
through
that
in
future
meetings.
For
the
time
being,
though,
we
are
estimating
that
the
allocation
of
Community
Development
block
grant
funds
will
be
425
thousand
dollars,
which
is
the
amount
we
received
this
year.
If
it's
more
or
less
we'll
find
out
when
HUD
provides
an
actual
letter
to
us
for
the
allocations,
but
based
on
that
amount,
20
of
the
allocation
would
go
towards
Administration
costs
and
that's
eighty
five
thousand
dollars.
AP
the
public
facilities
and
Rehabilitation
category
would
be
approximately
276
thousand
dollars
of
the
425
thousand
dollar
allocation.
Now
we
anticipate
not
using
the
entire
amount
for
the
public
service
and
so
an
additional
thirteen
Thousand
Seven
fifty
would
go
towards
the
public
facility
and
residential
rehab
programs
that
that
we
could
apply
the
funds
for
towards.
AP
And
you
know,
we've
heard
it
over
the
past
few
years
about
creating
a
more
robust
residential
rehabilitation
program.
We
currently
have
a
residential
rehabilitation
program.
That's
capped
at
one
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
and
that's
just
for
minor
repairs
to
existing
facilities
like
air
conditioning
units
and
heaters
and
swamp
coolers
and
some
Plumbing.
AP
But
what
we're
proposing
here
is
increasing
that
to
approximately
twenty
thousand
dollars
depending
on
need,
and
that
would
cover
items
such
as
code
violations,
more
major
Electrical,
Plumbing,
Roofing
health
and
safety
issues,
access
issues,
Asbestos
and
lead
abatement,
and
some
exterior
improvements
again
to
comply
with
code
code
requirements
and
as
we
envisioned
this
one
residential
rehab
program,
the
eligible
homes
would
be
owner.
Occupied
requests
would
be
inspected
and
approved
by
our
department,
and
the
approved
work
would
be
put
out
to
bid
and
awarded
to
licensed.
AP
Contractors,
and
applicants
would
be
considered
on
first
come
first
serve
basis
when,
when
until
the
funds
are
depleted
and
with
the
amount
of
funding,
we
anticipate
the
276
thousand
dollars
that
would
serve
approximately
14
households
at
twenty
thousand
dollars
each.
If
that
were
the
amount,
another
possible
use
for
the
cdbg
funds
would
be
to
apply
them
to
the
navigation
center.
AP
So
it's
a
possibility,
if
necessary,
but
not
necessarily
the
most
optimal
use
of
the
cdbg
funds,
and
just
to
give
you
just
some
some
background
on
this.
Recent
allocations
of
cdbg
funds
have
gone
to
shade
structures
for
at
demuth,
Park
and
baristo
park
and
the
year
before
that
for
bathrooms
and
air
conditioning
systems
at
demuth,
Park.
AP
So
again,
we'll
be
coming
back
with
a
work
program
for
your
consideration.
But
at
this
time,
if
you'd
like
to
weigh
in
on
any
of
those
programs,
see
them
modified
in
any
way
have
us
pursue
other
types
of
programs
with
the
Community
Development
block
grant
funds.
You
know
we'd
like
to
hear
that
keep
in
mind.
AP
It
does
appear
that,
based
on
2020
census
data
that
other
areas
of
the
city,
in
particular
the
desert,
Highlands
Gateway
Community,
which
still
includes
mountain
gate
and
murillon,
would
fall
into
a
low
income
area,
low
and
moderate
income
area
based
on
the
based
on
the
incomes
of
the
2020
census.
However,
we're
we're
waiting
to
hear
back
from
HUD
on
what
map
they
recognize
for
eligibility
in
the
program.
AP
So
if
it
turns
out
they
say,
yes,
that's
also
an
allowable
area,
then
I
think
we
put
on
the
table
improvements
to
James
or
Jesse
Park
as
another
possibility.
Although
you
know
we
wouldn't
want
to
do
that
too
late
in
the
game,
and
we'd
also
want
to
do
that
in
coordination
with
any
measure
J
projects
being
conducted
there
too.
So
that
is
a
potential
development
there.
A
E
E
AP
That's
not
current,
it
is
in
the
current
census
tract
map,
but
in
the
prior
census,
I
think
it
was
2010.
It
was
not
considered
below
moderate
income
area,
it
included,
miralon
I'm,
sorry,
it
included
mountain
gate
and
desert
Highlands,
and
so
the
combined
incomes
had
them
under
the
50
threshold
of
being
a
low,
moderate
income,
households.
AP
For
the
infrastructure,
it
can
be
used,
the
navigation
centers
in
that
census
tract,
but
it
would
qualify
because
the
clientele
for
the
navigation
Center
would
all
be
low
income
and,
as
as
being
proposed
with
the
residential
rehab
program
that
would
be
Citywide.
It
would
go
towards
qualified
low-income
residents.
A
Thank
you
I.
You
know
we
do
have
other
studies
that
show
childhood
poverty
in
that
area
and
so
I'm
just
curious
what
we
can
do
to
actually
be
able
to
use
funds
for
that
Community,
Center
and
parking.
We
only
have
two
community
centers
and
we've
used
a
lot
of
cdbg
funds
for
the
demuth
community
center
because
we
were
allowed
to
and
we're
not.
We
haven't
been
able
to
use
it
for
this
park
and
I.
A
AP
Agreed
the
other
information
I've
seen
shows
this
area
would
qualify.
The
question
is:
is
HUD
recognizing
this
now
or
do
they
take
it?
In
a
you
know,
big
group
Nationwide
as
to
which
year
they
base
their
data
on
we
don't
know,
but
hopefully
within
the
next
week
or
two
we
would
have
an
answer
and
I
would
really
expect
it
to
be
a
part
of
the
low
mod
income
census,
tracts.
A
Thank
you,
and
just
for
the
public
and
and
for
Council.
Obviously
we
have
other
funding
sources
where
we
can
fund
projects
in
this
neighborhood,
where
just
not
we're
not
precluded
from
doing
so,
just
because
of
cdbg
funding,
but
it
does
seem
like
a
hole
that
should
be
be
fixed.
But
anyway
do
we
have
additional
comments
or
questions.
It
was
I.
Didn't.
Oh,
you
didn't
finish:
go
ahead,
council
member
to
Hart,
so.
E
AP
A
couple
capping
out
at
the
line
items
the
remaining
amount
of
funds
is
about
two
hundred.
Ninety
thousand
dollars
of
the
overall
program
would
fund,
perhaps
14
residences
through
that
program,
and
you
know,
assuming
we
would
get
an
allocation
the
following
year.
The
program
could
sustain
using
cdbg
dollars
for
each
successive
year
as
long
as
a
council
sees
fit
and
as
you've
alluded
to,
there
are
other
funds.
The
city
has
that
could
build
on
this
program
and
expand
it.
AP
AP
AP
She
has
experience
with
this
and
you
know
for
14
cases,
I
believe
we
could
manage
that
in-house
and
if
it
gets
to
be
many
more,
you
know
we
could
consider
getting
some
additional
contracted
help
and
when
I
say
in-house,
it's
you
know
the
process
of
collecting
applications,
income
qualifying
documentation,
inspecting
the
projects
to
happen
and
then
having
the
contractors
commence.
The
work
and,
following
up
with
the
contractors,
make
sure
the
work
gets
done.
Okay,.
AD
AP
There
seems
to
be
for
housing
Rehabilitation.
We
have
not
seen
a
lot
of
new
grants,
so
cdbg
seems
to
be
the
primary
source
of
grants
for
projects
like
this.
Now.
That
being
said,
we
are
seeing
new
housing
dollars
appear
in
many
many
different
areas,
so
we're
doing
our
best
to
keep
an
eye
on
that
and
go
after
them.
When,
when
we
can.
A
AP
Yes,
yes,
I
think
that
would
not
be
too
difficult
since
we're
all
you
know
we
could
work
with
each
of
the
applicants
to
produce
the
documents
necessary.
It
would
be
very
similar
to
the
covet
assistance
program
we
did
for
business
where
actually
each
of
those
businesses
had
to
produce
leases
and
tax
returns
and
evidence
of
hardship.
So
we're
accustomed
to
working
with
applicants
in.
D
AP
D
It's
okay,
because
when
we
get
to
the
butt
major
budget,
we
still
have
three
million
dollars
in
Parks.
That's
not
allocated
at
this
point
that
previous
council
did
and
I
think
there's
a
million
and
a
half
in
measure
J
funds
for
Parks,
which
has
not
been
allocated,
although
that
may
diminish,
as
the
everything
else
goes
up
and
the
navigation
Center
we
just
gave
three
million
to
and
we
have
had
other
sources,
but
it
sounds
like
housing
Rehabilitation.
It's
somewhat
limited
our
other
sources.
AD
D
AA
Z
You
I
was
watching
councilmember
Middleton
to
see
if
she
wanted
to
go
first.
Okay,
thank
you,
madam
mayor
and
just
mayor,
Pro
tem,
to
clarify
your
comments.
You
mean
the
housing
rehabilitation
program
because
there
aren't
other
funds
like
there
are
for
parks
and
other
programs.
Okay,
thanks.
That's
helpful.
I
really
appreciate
you
bringing
that
expertise
in
those
questions,
so
I
had
similar
questions
about
Administration.
Z
If
this
is
enough
money
to
really
administer
a
program,
you
know
I
know
we
have
other
funds
like
10
million
dollars
for
homelessness,
that
we
set
aside
or
housing
and
we've
put
set
aside
other
funds
as
well
that
we'll
talk
about
in
budget.
So
could
you
just
speak
a
little
bit
about
the
if
the
290
is
enough
for
the
staff
burden
of
administering
a
program?
Well,.
AP
Now
administering
the
program
you
know
just
to
use
the
example
Ariel
our
new
Housing
Services
administrator,
said
the
program
she
administered
in
Colorado
was
90
900,
000
I
believe
for
their
for
that
program,
and
she
managed
it
by
herself
with
using
a
website
applications
and
such
so
individuals
would
apply
on
the
web
and
all
that
information
would
be
there
and,
of
course,
working
with
other
departments.
But
you
know
she
was
able
to
lead
that
process.
Z
Z
We
can
waive
that
if
we
want
to
right
and
pay
for
that
as
the
city
and
then
public
services,
so
fair
housing.
So
typically
it
doesn't
stay
in
the
staff
report,
but
usually
we
give
this
to
the
Fair
Housing
Council
right
that
represents
actually
doesn't
represent,
but
gives
information,
I
believe
to
landlords
and
tenants
and
isn't
based
locally,
though
they
do
a
lot
of
work
locally.
Z
The
city
used
to
do
our
Human
Rights
Commission,
as
our
chair
knows,
actual
mediation
with
landlords
and
tenants.
So
I'm
saying
this
to
all
to
say
that
I'm
really
interested
in
taking
this
public
services
funding
and
seeing
if
we
can
give
it
to
Inland
County's
legal
services
to
see
if
they'll
do
clinics
in
Palm,
Springs
or
even
locate
in
Palm
Springs
with
additional
funding.
So
could
we
explore
that
so
that
when
you
bring
it
back,
you
could
present
information
about
fair
housing
versus
Inland
counties
or
other
service
providers
for
that
public
services?
Absolutely
cool!
Z
Thank
you.
Those
are
all
the
questions
that
I
have
you
know.
I
was
interested
to
see.
I
was
so
excited
about.
All
of
our
work
on
Parks
and
investments
in
the
Parks
and
I
was
expecting
to
continue
that
with
cdbg,
but
I
think
to
Mayor
Pro
tems
common.
We
have
a
lot
of
funding
for
that,
because
Council
allocated
it
and
so
I
think
this
is
a
great
project
that
you've
proposed
and
I'm
happy
to
support
it.
If
the
rest
of
council
does
thank.
A
You
just
on
the
Inland
County
Legal,
Services
I'm,
also
very
interested
in
that
I
know.
I've
referred
several
tenants
to
the
Fair
Housing
Council
in
the
past,
but
because
they
are
not
attorneys,
it
ended
up
finding
attorneys,
through
my
network,
to
assist
on
a
pro
bono
basis
for
these
different
residents
and,
obviously
that's
and
it.
A
It
is
actually
quite
a
burden
to
even
connect
people
to
attorneys
who
are
willing
to
do
this
work
so
if
we
were
able
to
just
send
them
to
a
place
that
does
that
that
would
be
a
huge,
a
huge
service
to
our
community.
The
other
thing
is
for
the
housing
Rehabilitation.
What
is
the
area
median
income
qualifications
for
that
program?.
AP
A
Great,
thank
you,
I
think.
If
any
way
we
can
make
sure
that
information
is
clear
on
our
on
our
website
for
for
folks,
I
think
it's
in
the
handouts
that
you
provide,
but
I
I.
Don't
think
people
always
realize
that
they
might
fit
into
the
qualifications,
because
some
people
feel
like
I'm
for
the
most
part
that
they
are
comfortable
and
don't
unders
don't
realize
that
they
actually
do
fit
into
one
of
these
designations.
For
for
funding,
do
we
need
I,
don't
believe
we
need
to
vote
on
this.
AD
D
I
just
want
to
say
yes,
if
we
could
do
the
housing
Rehabilitation
to
see,
if
we
could
waive,
you
know,
include
the
administration
into
that,
set
it
up
as
a
pilot
program.
So
we
could
review
it,
and
obviously
54
is
not.
You
know,
is
not
a
lot
of
money,
but
there's
people
much
below
so
I
would
prefer
anyway
to
to
get
it
to
really
people
who
are
desperately
in
need
and
have
no
other
option
to
the
extent
possible
and.
AP
A
AP
A
Helpful
appreciate
it
then
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
item
three
C
and
approval
of
the
scope
of
work
and
authorize
requests
for
qualifications
for
architecture
and
Design
Services
for
the
Palm
Springs
Public,
Library
renovation,
I,
hope
our
library
folks
are
all
watching
us
on
TV.
They
were
very
excited
Genie.
Do
we
have
a
staff
report.
AQ
Thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
mayor,
Pro,
tem
member
of
members
of
council.
This
item
before
you
is
a
request
to
approve
the
request
for
qualifications
process
for
a
renovation
of
the
Palm
Springs
public
library
and
the
adjacent
JC
Frye
building,
which
sits
across
the
parking
lot
from
the
library.
The
library
as
it
is
today
does
not
function
for
today's
needs.
We
do
have
a
nice
size,
Library,
it's
34,
000
square
feet,
but
nothing's
where
it
needs
to
be
our
community
room
has
a
capacity
of
90
people.
Our
story
room
has
a
capacity
of
32.
AQ
We
have
zero
small
meeting
spaces
or
study
rooms.
Pre-Pandemic
our
door
count
was
around
260
000
people
per
year.
We
used
to
have
over
300
programs
a
year
and
10
000
people
attended
those
programs.
So
just
imagine
what
we
could
do
if
we
had
a
world-class
Library,
imagine
the
help
and
services
we
could
offer
to
our
community.
This
project
is
truly
for
the
community.
AQ
The
RFQ
process
will
seek
highly
qualified,
Architects
and
designers,
who
are
experts
on
Library
design
by
listing
a
full
scope
of
work
in
the
RFQ
process.
The
designers
who
apply
first
of
all
will
be
aware
of
the
potential
scope
of
the
project
and
second,
we'll
be
able
to
give
us
realistic
advice
and
cost
estimates
that
the
city
can
then
decide
which
items
to
include
and
the
Palm
Springs
Public
Library
Foundation
can
fundraise
specific
dollars
to
get
those
features
built
because
we're
fortunate
to
have
a
6.5
million
dollar
matching
grant
for
infrastructure
improvements.
AQ
Time
is
of
the
essence
to
get
moving
on
this
project.
We
have
until
March
of
2026
to
finish
the
infrastructure
work.
Several
tasks
are
not
included
in
the
grant,
but
will
need
to
be
done,
such
as
Cabinetry,
countertops,
shelvings,
any
exterior
work
and
so
on.
The
friends
foundation
and
Library
Board
of
Trustees
fully
support
the
listed
scope
of
work
and
will
rally
the
community
to
help
make
this
a
reality
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
AQ
D
AQ
AD
D
AQ
Don't
think
so
the
the
infrastructure
work
is
going
to
have
to
be
done,
so
the
the
library
is
going
to
be
a
mess.
I
mean
really
realistically.
So
all
that
work
has
to
be
done
if
there
are
things
that
need
to
be
done
at
the
same
time.
One
item
specifically
is
the
koi
pond.
It's
a
water
feature,
it's
excluded
in
grant
funding,
but
we
know
the
plumbing
is
1975
Plumbing,
it's
going
to
have
to
be
redone
at
the
same
time,
so
it
just
makes
complete
sense
to
have
to
have
Architects
and
designers.
I
AO
AQ
D
AQ
Don't
I
I
think
they'll
tell
us
the
The
Architects
will
be
the
experts
and
they
will
tell
us
what
they
think
is
realistic
in
the
timeline
and
and
the
infrastructure
portion
has
to
be
done
by
March
of
26th,
but
the
putting
it
back
together
doesn't
necessarily
have
to
be
done
by
that
date.
You
know
putting
laying
the
carpet
down
on
top
of
the
work.
That's
been
done
can
happen
in
April
if
it.
If
it
gets
to
that
point
realistically,
okay,
I,
don't
I,
don't
like
I,
don't
like
the
idea
of
going
so
long,
but
you.
AQ
AQ
I
think
it's
going
to
be
I
I
like
again
I'm
a
librarian
but
looking
at
Desert,
Hot,
Springs
and
other
libraries
they're
about
a
thousand
dollars
a
square
foot
for
construction
and
we're
34
000
square
feet.
So
we're
talking
my
ballpark
34
million
I
mean
I,
don't
know
I,
don't
I,
don't
want
to
scare
you,
but
I
also
want
to
be.
D
AQ
D
AQ
D
You
want
to
finish
okay.
Well,
so
I
do
agree.
We
should
have
a
world
class
library,
and
this
has
been
going
on
a
very
long
time.
My
concern
is
that
adding
to
the
scope
will
delay
things
further
and
and
I
don't
want
to
see
that
so.
I
would
really
hope
that
we
can
move
forward
in
tandem
with
the
grant
work
and
the
scope,
understanding
that
the
scope
may
have
to
be
adjusted
depending
on
the
budget.
I
would
also
look
despite
what
they
you
know.
D
D
All
of
those
are
seem
very
good
opportunities
for
people
to
have
their
name
and
a
part
of
our
library
for
generations,
and
that's
something
that
really
should
start
now,
regardless
of
what
else
you
get
because
inevitably
you're
going
to
fall
short
of
funding,
it's
my
guess
just
seeing
how
costs
rise
and
everything
so
I
am
fully
in
supportive
of
the
full
scope
and
I
I
want
to
see
everything
I
want
to
make
sure
there's
nothing
that
was
missed.
I
want
it
to
move
quickly.
D
I
want
to
ensure
there's
no
Gap
in
services
to
our
community,
because
I
would
hate
to
see
it
and
I
know
that
you've
made
arrangements,
but
I
would
hate
to
see
it
like
certain
things
not
happen
for
years,
because
for
a
kid
years
is
a
childhood,
so
so
I'm
going
to
support
it.
But
those
are
my
comments
and
Direction
and
and
good.
AD
Z
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
Thank
you
for
those
comments.
I
share
a
lot
of
your
concerns,
too,
and
by
the
way,
congratulations,
thank
you.
So
much
for
all
the
staff's
work
to
get
this
funding
from
the
state.
It
really
is
our
best
opportunity
to
move
forward
with
what
I
would
like
to
see
a
full
renovation
of
the
library
and
so
I
agree
I'd
like
to
see
a
full
process
for
getting
to
the
ABS,
the
budget
that
we
need
so
I
understand.
Z
You
know
this
isn't
getting
us
there,
but
we
also
have
measure
J
funds
and
we're
also
moving
into
budget
process
to
allocate
more
save
more.
For
that
I
mean
it
would
be
nice
to
know
the
the
philanthropy
side
of
what's
needed,
so
we
can
start
working
on
that
just
like
we
are
with
the
Plaza
theater.
So
congratulations.
Thank
you
for
your
work.
This
is
so
exciting
because
I
do
think
it's
our
best
opportunity
to
do
a
full
renovation,
and
so
that
was
kind
of
my
comments
too.
Z
Z
I
don't
know
because
I'm
also
not
an
architect
and
I,
don't
have
plans
in
front
of
me
so
I
think
the
RFQ
is
a
good
first
step
and
I
think
that's
the
question
to
staff
is:
should
we
include
all
these
items
in
the
RFQ
as
sort
of
a
wish
list,
and
then
we
can
get
feedback
from
the
applicants
or
the
RFQ
about
what
is
doable.
I
wrote
a
little
heart
next
to
the
new
350
seat,
Event
Center,
you
know,
like
that's
great
I,
love
that
you
know.
Z
What's
the
cost
gonna
be
and
all
of
that,
so
those
are
the
details
that
we
need,
but
that
was
my
main
feedback
too
I
didn't
understand,
like
the
big
picture
of
the
process,
because
I
do
want
to
see
a
comprehensive
least
a
move
towards
a
full
renovation.
If
that
makes
sense,
and
just
for
the
public
comment
as
well,
people
commented
about
desert
hot
springs
and
coachella's
Library.
Those
are
both
in
coordination
with
the
county.
Who
provided
significant
funding
for
the
County
Library
System
correct
and
the
differences
in
Palm
Springs.
Z
We
run
our
own
library
system
and
don't
have
support
and
funding
from
the
county.
Absolutely
yes
thanks.
So
just
people
understand
why
we
can't
do
that
at
the
same
level.
Always
so
I
think
those
are
those
are
my
own.
You
know
questions
and
comments,
but
very
very
supportive
of
this
I
very
much
want
to
see
it
move
forward.
Oh
as
I'm
as
I'm
saying
I
have
no
more
comments.
I
remember,
I
have
one
more
question,
which
is
the
children's
room,
and
all
these
decisions
will
come
back
to
us
later.
Z
E
E
Then
that's
going
to
come
back
to
us
with
the
funding
and
the
cost
and
what
it's
going
to
require
for
items
a
through
CC
individually,
so
yeah
I'm
full
in
support.
You
know
we
definitely
want
the
library
to
move
forward
I'm
in
support
of
of
allowing
the
the
scope
of
work
to
include
these
new
items
that
the
trustees
have
identified.
D
Knowing
that
it's
going
to
be
over,
and
my
second
question
is
and
not
to
diminish
anything
from
the
community.
But
can
things
like
the
cafe
or
the
Event
Center
have
other
Revenue
producing
opportunities
that
wouldn't
take
away
from
anything
from
the
community,
but
just
make
sure
they're
fully
utilized?
Are
the
things
to
look
at?
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much
to
Genie
to
our
friends
of
the
library
to
our
Board
of
Trustees.
This
is
really
exciting
and
I
think
this
is
an
important
part
right.
We
need
this
RFQ
to
go
out
so
that
we
can
get
a
design,
an
architect
who
actually
has
done
libraries
that
are
world
class
and
not
just
any
Library
renovation,
but
we
want
innovative
ideas
and,
and
while
we
want
the
scope
of
work,
the
architect
might
come
back
and
offer
other
opportunities
and
options
for
us
that
we
can
consider
that.
A
Maybe
we
have
not
considered
because
we
are
so
behind
in
terms
of
the
infrastructure
and
opportunities
that
we
have
at
our
our
library
genie.
Please,
you
know
use
us
as
needed
for
these
funding
efforts.
Obviously
we
have
budgets
coming
up
where
we
can
fund,
but
in
terms
of
the
additional
fundraising
that
is
going
to
be
done.
A
A
D
E
AQ
A
AR
Exciting
is
right,
good
evening
mayor
mayor
Pro,
tem,
council
members.
We
have
a
PowerPoint
they're
going
to
present.
The
staff
report
was
pretty
detailed,
especially
Capital
Area.
We
did
condense
down
the
PowerPoint
considerably,
but
obviously
questions
about
anything
and
everything
for
sure.
We'll
start
off.
We
got
three
presenters
tonight
myself.
AR
So
last
year
we
did
a
lot
of
comparisons
to
last
year,
because
last
year
was
such
a
good
strong
year.
We
want
to
kind
of
see,
use
it
as
kind
of
the
base
year
to
see
where
we
kind
of
stand
versus
last
year.
Last
year's
Revenue
at
mid-year
was
69.2
million
dollars
this
year,
65.8
at
mid-year
for
the
general
fund.
AR
That
has
been
trending
down
over
the
past
few
years
and
tot
revenue
is
down
from
17.3
million
dollars.
Last
year,
to
15.9
million
this
year,
I'll
get
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
in
a
minute
utility
users
tax
up
forty
percent
6.6
million
this
year
versus
4.7
last
year,
and
then
the
other
major
Revenue
lines
are
are
a
little
bit
minor
compared
to
the
major
tax
lines.
Let
me
talk
a
little
bit
about
tot
for
for
just
a
minute.
It's
down
eight
percent.
Last
year's
tot
Revenue
in
total,
was
54
million
dollars.
AR
So
if
we
continue
this
trend
to
be
down,
we'll
still
meet
our
budgeted
Target
of
about
48
million.
So
a
couple
things
about
that
to
just
expand
on
that
a
little
bit
the
first
five
months
of
the
year
we
were
down
compared
to
last
year
for
the
most
part.
Every
month,
in
December
of
this
year,
we
had
about
4.4
million
dollars
of
tot
Revenue,
which
was
the
exact
same
as
December
of
last
year.
AR
Just
looking
at
the
January
numbers,
which
are
not
presented
here,
tot
Revenue
was
up
in
January
of
this
year
compared
to
January
of
last
year.
So,
at
the
end
of
January
that
eight
percent
decline
is
now
four
percent
decline,
so
we're
coming
back.
But
again,
as
I've
stated
here,
this
is
the
first
six
months
the
city's
most
of
the
city's
Revenue
comes
in
the
last
half
of
the
year
and
in
particular
the
fourth
quarter,
due
to
the
tourism
industry
and
the
tourism
business
that
Palm
Springs
brings.
AR
AR
So
total
total
budgeted
expenses
with
232
million
dollars,
we're
sitting
at
about
35
percent
of
budget
at
80.9
million
year
to
date
versus
57.2
million
last
year.
At
this
time,
a
couple
of
major
causes
for
that
salary
and
benefits
up
17
or
up
six
million
dollars.
It's
not
surprising
I
did
some
research
today
for
mayor
Pro
tem,
and
we
found
out
that
we
started
fiscal
year
21
with
499
positions.
AR
We
started
this
year
with
579
positions,
so
we're
ramping
up
that'll
probably
continue
to
ramp
up.
We
have
84
vacancies,
so
that's
17
will
probably
become
more
as
we
go
throughout
the
year.
It
still
appears
that
we're
on
target
to
to
to
meet
budget.
We
should
still
have
some
vacancy
savings.
We
did
build
some
of
that
into
the
budget,
but
right
now
it
does
look
like,
even
as
we
continue
to
hire
it
seems
like
now
we're
going
to
be
able
to
be
on
on
track
to
on
budget.
AR
Each
department,
as
you
can
see,
is
over
mainly
due
to
to
that
and
a
couple
of
other
things
coming
out
of
covid
I
think
we
delayed
a
lot
of
facility
maintenance
projects.
So
last
year
we
chose
to
really
increase
those
costs
for
facility
maintenance
expense
this
year
about
eight
million
dollars
versus
four
or
five
million
dollars
in
the
previous
year.
So
that's
ramped.
Up
considerably
same
for
vehicle
purchases,
we
decided
to
increase
that
to
six
six
million
dollars
versus
four
and
a
half
million
dollars
in
the
prior
year.
AR
So
on
that
particular
line
item
for
those
projects
identified,
we
do
charge
back
each
department,
so
each
Department's
expenses
did
increase
for
those
two
items
significantly
and
again.
Another
reason
why
each
department
is
up
over
the
prior
year
and
then
lastly,
Council
approved
in
the
fiscal
23
budget,
some
additional
funds
to
go
to
the
fleet
vehicle
and
facility
maintenance
funds
for
future
projects
to
sort
of
pad
those
funds.
So
there's
money
there
to
continue
to
do
those
facility,
maintenance
needs
and
those
vehicle
purchases.
AR
AR
AR
So
if
we
don't
use
that
20
million
dollars
the
expense
side
of
the
budget,
will
we
won't
meet
that
by
20
million
it
would
be
210
million
versus
232
million,
so
there's
relief
to
the
budget.
There.
However,
we
will,
whatever
we
don't
use
this
year.
We
will
re-budget
in
the
following
year
for
Council
to
approve.
AR
The
same
set
of
sides
I
will
touch
on
that
a
little
bit
they're
just
assigned
for
by
Council
right
now.
If
Council
chose
to
take
a
different
direction,
they
could
and
we
could
do
that
in
the
budget
process.
But
yes,
for
now,
unless
Council
makes
a
different
decision,
those
would
be
re-budgeted
in
the
same
buckets.
AR
AD
D
AR
D
AR
Grant
Revenue,
yes,
so
most
of
the
grant
Revenue
that
we
have
in
the
budget
right
now
is
for
the
navigation
Center.
So
it's
about
20
million
dollars.
So
we
know
pretty
much
that
all
of
that's
not
going
to
be
used
at
this
point.
So
the
remaining
so,
for
example,
there's
five
million
dollars
that
is
set
aside
to
run
the
operations
of
the
navigation
Center,
so
that
will
definitely
not
be
used
this
year.
AR
AR
Donations,
restricted
donations,
which
largely
come
from
Palm
Springs
resorts
and
we
haven't
received
any
of
those
donations.
I,
don't
think
this
year
yet
and
then
their
Master
Lease
that
we
have
with
the
Renaissance
Hotel.
They
pay
us
1.2
million
dollars
of
we
sublease
out
a
portion
of
that
land
and
they
pay
us
1.2
million
and
there's
various
other
small
sources
of
revenue
in
there.
Okay,.
D
AR
Wrong
one,
the
well
I
guess
I'll
just
go
through
the
whole
thing.
Sorry,
that's!
Okay!
So
that's
made
up
of
of
three
Revenue
lines.
If
I
remember
right
to
franchise
taxes
that
that
Charter
pays
us
and
Palm
Springs
Waste
opposals
Disposal
pays
us
for
it's
basically
rent
for
right
of
ways
to
Public
Access
for
cable
lines
or
sewer
the
waste
disposal.
AR
AD

AR
A
AR
AR
Z
Z
When
we
have
crises
for
also
to
Mayor,
Pro,
tems
Point,
you
know
of
police
or
Parks
and
Rec
or
other
programs
need
those
funds
I'd
rather
just
deploy
them,
because
you
know
we
could
have
additional
funds
to
add
to
those
accounts.
Could
you
just
tell
us
a
little
bit
more
about
Fleet
I
know
it
was
detailed
in
the
staff
report,
but
it's
been
a
few
hours
now
that
we've
been
going
at
this,
so
can
the
fleet
Investments?
What
do
those
look
like?
AR
Z
So
I
know
the
council
had
considered
having
a
purchasing
policy
for
electronic
EVS,
electric
vehicles
or
other
programs.
I
know
we
made
a
mistake
when
we
made
huge
budget,
we
made
huge
vehicle
purchases
earlier
and
didn't
consider
that
so
are
we
considering
that,
when
we're
doing
purchasing
of
that
budget
item.
AR
You
very
much
so
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
revenue
that
supports
our
Capital.
We've
got
eight
major
funds:
nine,
if
you
include
Wastewater
fund
that
support
the
city's
capital
projects
in
the
fiscal
year,
23
budget
that
totaled
about
66
million
dollars
of
that
66
million.
We
have
reimbursement
revenue
of
about
30
million,
and
what
that
is
is
for
a
lot
of
the
major
Road
and
Bridge
projects.
The
engineering
department
takes
on
we
get
reimbursed
from
Caltrans
at
88.5
percent.
AR
So
that's
a
large
amount
for
a
big
project.
That's
a
lot
of
money.
The
next
big
source
of
revenue
for
capital
is
or
tax
revenue,
so
that
includes
the
gas
tax
measure,
a
which
is
a
half
half
percent
sales
tax,
the
rmra,
which
is
the
road
maintenance
and
Rehabilitation
Act,
which
is
an
additional
gas
tax.
And
then,
of
course,
we
have
measure
J,
which
is
the
one
percent
sales
tax.
So
those
four
funds
combined
is
26.1
million.
AR
We
then
have
transfers
from
other
funds
for
Capital
a
lot
of
that's
from
the
general
funds
supporting
various
capital
projects,
six
and
a
half
million
dollars.
We
have
the
cdbg
grant
Revenue
that
was
just
talked
about
by
Jay
earlier
today,
1.3
million,
and
then
we
have
a
couple
of
impact
fees
that
total
about
a
million
dollars,
and
one
of
those
is
the
Quimby
act
which
supports
Parkinson,
Rec
and
the
other
is
the
drainage
fee
which
supports
drainage
construction
within
the
city.
AR
The
tax
revenue
uses
the
gas,
the
two
gas
taxes,
the
gas
tax
and
the
rmra.
Those
are
restricted
for
Street
improvements
as
well
as
the
measure.
A
fund
is
also
restricted
for
Street
improvements,
so
that's
about
six
million
dollars
and
then
the
unrestricted
one
percent
sales
tax
of
measure
J
is
about
20
21
million
dollars
a
year.
I
would
note,
though,
even
though
those
funds
are
basically
unrestricted
they're
for
the
most
part
used
for
Capital
and
within
that
Fund.
In
the
fiscal
year
23
budget
there
is
six
million
dollars
to
decide
for
Street
Maintenance.
AR
So
there's
additional
funds
for
streets
on
the
impact
fees.
The
Quimby
act
supports
Parks
and
Rec.
That's
about
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars,
point
seven
million
and
then
the
impact
fee
for
drainage
is
about
0.3
million
or
300
000,
and
that
supports
all
the
drainage.
Construction
and
that's
my
review
of
the
capital.
Revenue
I'd
be
more
than
happy
to
take
any
questions
before
I
turn
it
over
to
city
engineer.
AS
So
good
evening,
Madam
mayor
members
of
the
city,
council,
Joel,
Montalvo
city,
engineer,
engineering
department,
so,
as
Chris
mentioned,
the
CIP
program
is
is
funded
by
nine
different
funds.
So
the
the
slide
before
you're
here
is
a
snapshot
of
the
multiple
projects
that
the
engineer
in
the
engineering
department
is
working
on
at
any
given
time.
So
I'm
going
to
go
through
them.
AS
Really
what
we
did
is
we
tried
to
give
the
council
an
update
on
all
the
projects
there's
about
60
plus
projects
listed
in
in
your
attachments,
so
attachments
one
through
nine
actually
list
all
our
projects.
They
tell
you
how
much
we
budgeted.
They
actually
tell
you
a
brief
status
and
where
we're
at
how
much
we're
spending
so
really
the
bulk
of
my
presentation
is
attached
in
those
attachments
and
I
would
really
want
to
open
it
up
to
questions
on
those
I
can
go
over
a
little
bit
of
these
projects.
AS
Just
to
give
you
a
taste
of
the
multiple
different
types
of
projects
we're
working
on.
So
the
very
first
one
is
the
the
highway
safety
Improvement
program.
It's
cycle,
seven
right
now
we're
actually
currently
working
on
cycle
nine.
So
cycle
7
is
almost
almost
already
constructed.
It
included
19
intersections.
We
were
doing
traffic
signals.
We
were
improving
the
technology,
so
Cycles
have
it's
almost
complete.
We
we're
now
working
to
bid
out
and
get
going
cycle
eight
and
we're
designing
cycle
9.
AS
so
that
all
that
funding
is
those
projects
are
almost
100
funded
by
the
state,
so
in
in
particular,
hsip
cycle.
Seven,
it
was
a
three
3.3
million
grant
that
we
got
from
the
state,
so
it's
100
funded.
So
if
you
just
go
to
the
next
one,
it's
a
completely
different
project,
but
the
engineering
department
is
also
working
on
it's
the
digester
number
two
and
gathler
project.
That's
an
18
million
dollar
project.
That's
currently
being
constructed
it's
hidden
away.
Nobody
sees
it.
Nobody
really
talks
about
it,
but
we
are
actively
working
on
that
project.
AS
AS
Well,
I
I,
my
terminology
for
wastewater
treatment
plants
isn't
all
there,
but
it
is
part
of
the
functionality
of
the
the
treatment.
So
when
the
sewage
comes
in,
it
gets
treated
and
it
goes
to
the
digester,
so
it
could
actually
be
consumed
by
the
microbes.
So
it's
part
of
the
whole
infrastructure
in
the
digesters
in
the
actual
wastewater
treatment
plant.
Thank.
W
AS
I
didn't
study
up
on
all
the
different
components
of
the
wave
water,
but
the
gas
flare
itself
you
know,
is
actually
burning.
The
methane
that's
produced
from
from
the
system,
but
if
I
knew
I
would
have
gotten
that
question.
I
would
have
done
a
little
bit
more
studying
too
so
I
guess.
The
point
is
being
that
we
have
so
many
different
projects
that
it's
hard
to
kind
of
be
an
expert
in
all
of
them.
So
the
next
one
down
is
our
annual
slurry
seal
so
that
slurry
seal
we
completed
it
last
year.
AS
Now
we're
working
on
the
next
list
so
we'll
be
spending
another
one
one
and
a
half
million
dollars
in
slurring.
So
now
the
Plaza
theater,
that's
a
project
that
it's
a
city
building,
but
it's
being
funded
privately
and
is
being
managed
by
this
City
engineering
department.
So
we
have
a
team,
that's
actually
working
on
that
project,
overseeing
the
architect
working
with
them
providing
report
and
ultimately,
we'll
also
be
engaged
in
the
construction
of
that
project.
AS
If
you
go
down
the
myself
Center,
my
cell
center
is
actually
a
project
that
was
funded
with
measure
J
dollars
and
there
was
staffed
in
really
manage
that
project.
We
simply
handed
a
check
over
to
the
Mizell
Center
and
we
were
going
to
monitor
the
progress
of
that
project
and
when
it's
completed,
we
will
sign
off
on
it
and
look
to
see
that
they
did
indeed
do
what
they
agreed
to
do,
because
we
have
an
agreement
with
the
myself
Center
to
do
what
what
they
requested
for
you
go
down.
AS
There's
a
city
yard
roof
replacement
project.
We
just
completed
that
as
well.
So
if
you
go
to
the
community
initiative
projects,
the
council
last
year
approved
14
different
projects
that
were
Community
initiated
applied
by
the
community
and
some
of
those
projects.
Staff
is
actually
actively
managing
others.
Staff
is
actually
just
working
to
get
an
agreement
in
place
and
we
hand
over
the
money,
and
then
we
ensure
that
that
project
gets
completed
per
the
agreement.
AS
AS
That's
a
40
million
dollar
Bridge
Project
40
million
dollars
that
were,
and
if
you
break
it
down
I
included
in
my
staff
report
that,
as
Chris
mentioned
earlier,
we're
getting
88.53
of
the
funding
from
the
state
and
the
FEDS
from
the
Federal
Highway
program,
The
Bridge
program.
And
if
everything
works
out,
the
city
for
the
construction
of
that
bridge
is
going
to
be
paying
one
million
dollars
for
a
40
million
dollar
Bridge.
That's
pretty
important
and
pretty
important
to
bring
up.
AS
And
then
you
keep
on
going
the
very
last
project.
There
is
a
navigation
Center,
again
engineering
team,
working
actively
managing
that
project
and
and
trying
to
get
it
built
so
with
that
I
can
open
up
to
questions,
but
the
really
the
bulk
of
of
what
we're
presenting
here
is
in
your
attachments
and
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
AS
So
they're
not
listed
in
any
particular
order
other
than
the
year
they
were
conceived.
So
what
we
start
identifying
these
projects
is
by
the
year
they
were
started.
So
the
The
Bridge
Project
I
was
mentioning
that's
an
01-11
project.
So
if
you
look
at
the
other
projects
in
the
handout,
they
all
have
a
different,
distinct
Capital
project
number
and
that
that
particular
number
just
tells
you
the
year.
The
project
was
conceived.
E
E
AS
So
for
construction,
an
hsip
cycle,
seven,
we
had
budgeted
another
thing
that
happens:
is
we
budget
in
different
years
and
we
expand
in
different
years.
So
one
of
these
two
might
be
not
aligning
depending
on
how
we
pull
the
information
in
the
grant
itself
was
for
3.3
million
dollars,
I
believe
the
construction
of
that
that
project
was
less
the
actual
Construction
contract
was
about
2.8
if
I
recall
correctly.
So
the
way
we're
pulling
in
the
numbers
in
one
chart
may
not
have
matched
what
we
were,
what
were
showing
in
the
other
fund.
E
D
AS
AS
They
can
see
it
transparently,
but
we're
also
working
on
a
GIS
map
that
will
actually
show
where
these
projects
are
located
geographically
in
the
city
and
you'll,
be
able
to
click
it
and
pull
up
the
same
information,
and
my
hope
is
to
eventually
expand
it
to
show
schedules
and
to
be
able
to
show
anyone
that
is
interested
in
our
projects
where
it's
at
in
the
process.
I.
D
Think
it's
schedule
is
what
a
lot
of
people
have
asked,
but
to
see
the
full
scope
and
when
things
are
actually
started
and
what
updates
as
to
where
they
are
right
right,
as
opposed
to
just
because
a
lot
of
these
are
being
changing.
Monthly
I
mean
I,
don't
want
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
unnecessarily,
but
people
have
questions
about
specific
projects
and
we're
going
getting
an
update
every
six
months.
Sometimes
they'd
want
to
know
what's
happening
in
between
and
what's
being
spent.
AS
Right
right
and
really
the
important
part
of
that
GIS
map
is
updating
the
data
right
because
a
lot
of
times
you
create
a
data
set
that
doesn't
get
maintained
and
the
data
is
just
old.
It
just
becomes
unusable,
unusable
and
unreliable.
So
the
goal
is
to
maintain
that
data
as
well,
so
we're
starting
that
project.
Fresh
I
have
one
of
my
engineering
staff
working
on
it.
AS
He
brought
them
in
so
that
we
could
start
showing
that
to
the
public
and
maintaining
it
one
of
the
hardest
things
to
show
really
is
schedule,
and
that's
one
of
the
one
points
that
I
think
I'm
always
brought.
It's
brought
to
my
attention.
You
know
what
is
the
schedule
so
I'll
repeat
the
Indian
Canyon
Bridge
started
in
2001
and
all
along
the
line.
AS
Everybody
was
asking:
what's
the
schedule,
so
in
2013
we
would
have
been
done
by
2015,
2018
and
2018
I'm
sure
the
engineers
would
have
said
yeah
we're
going
to
be
building
it
in
2019.
in
2021
I
thought
I
was
a
building
in
22.
I'm
in
2023
and
I'm
just
awarding
that
project.
But
you
you
take
that
and
expand
it
over
70
projects
or
60
projects,
and
it
has
a
little
bit
of
that
in
every
single
one
of
them.
So
our
schedules
are
very
difficult
to
predict
when
we
start
designing
them.
We
get
our
Architects.
AS
Our
our
design
team
tell
us
to
tell
us
what
the
schedule
would
look
like.
What
do
we
and
then,
when
we
get
that
within
the
six
three
four
months,
the
schedule
changes
and
it's
constantly.
So
it's
that's.
What
I'm
saying
the
data
sets
that
we
produce
just
have
to
be
maintained
and
we
need
the
staff
to
do
it
and
which
I'm
working
on
okay
and.
D
D
AS
D
You're
asking
or
no
if
we
have
a
76
million
dollars
left
in
remaining
balance
of
capital
funds,
project
and
measure
J
I
think
says:
40
million
dollars
left.
That
is
remaining
balance,
and
so
my
question
is
how
much
of
that
is
going
to
be
used
within
that
is
about
that
is
budgeted
for
this
year.
That's
going
to
be
used
within
your
or
versus
not.
AS
Well,
that's
a
difficult
question
to
answer,
but
we
revisit
it
when
we
work
on
our
five-year
CIP.
So
the
purpose
of
the
five-year
CIP
is
to
try
to
show
the
trajectory
of
a
project
over
the
five
years
and
as
we
budget
every
year,
we
try
to
figure
out
how
much
we're
spending
the
goal
is
at
the
end
of
the
five
of
when
you
project
to
have
your
project
in
construction.
That's
when
you've
acquired
all
your
funds.
AS
P
AS
Invoice
right
some
of
the
federal
projects
we
get
invoiced
every
three
four
five
months
right
and
then
we
go
and
try
to
get
it
back
from
the
feds
in
in
the
next
two
three
months
after
that.
So
there's
a
lag
between
when
we're
spending
the
dollars
when
we're
actually
paying
them
out
and
when
we're
actually
getting
reimbursed
from
the
federal
or
state
government.
Okay,.
D
D
AS
AS
It
is
hindering
to
not
have
the
staff
the
flip
side
is
we
look
for
staff
and
we
there
aren't
enough
Engineers
interested
in
coming
to
the
public
side.
I've
put
out
a
lot
of
you
know,
requests
or
advertisements,
and
we
get
maybe
one
I
run
it
for
three
four
months
and
and
sometimes
they're
not
qualified.
So
it's
very
difficult
to
get
staff
and
I
know
that
the
the
logical
progression
is
going
to
be
well.
AS
Why
don't
you
hire
Consultants,
but
we
are
working
with
consultants
and
in
order
to
manage
a
consultant,
you
need
an
engineer
to
or
someone
on
my
staff
to
hire
to
manage
the
consultant.
You
can't
just
let
Consultants
run,
do
the
work
by
themselves,
because
you
just
need
to
carefully
manage
them,
because
this
Project's
going
completely
South
to
that
end,
we
are
also
hiring
I
stopped,
trying
to
look
for
engineers
and
now
we're
looking
for
project
managers.
AS
Folks
that
are
in
the
industry
can
can
manage
a
project,
no
construction
and
they
work
with
us
to
deliver
projects
so
I
have
a
project
manager
on
board
and
we're
actively
engaging
in
bringing
in
the
second.
So
those
two
project
managers
working
under
my
Engineers
with
my
assistants,
are
going
to
be
able
to
deliver
the
smaller
projects.
Okay,.
AB
D
AS
Was
a
snack
last
year,
we've
gotten
back
on
an
agenda
where
we
will
be
bringing
the
working
with
them
to
bring
recommendations.
We
did
we,
we
weren't
able
to
have
our
meeting
this
past
month,
but
we
are
gonna,
we're
gonna,
get
back
on
track
in
March
and
I
think
earlier.
It
was
mentioned
or
alluded
to
that
measure.
J
is
a
big
proponent
or
a
component
of
funding,
a
library
right.
AS
Z
Hostage.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
Thank
you
for
those
questions.
This
is
really
helpful
because
I
also
had
written.
You
know
ways
to
increase
capacity
for
these
projects
and
they
appreciate
you
and
your
department
doing
an
excellent
job.
Managing
all
of
this
and
just
a
number
of
projects,
so
yeah
I
would
love
to
continue
to
try
to
solve
that
problem
for
our
city.
Z
So
thank
you
for
your
work.
I'm
hiring
project
managers,
Etc
that
you
stated
so
my
interests
are
maybe
council's
interests
that
they
shared
with
me
is
identifying
which
dollars
will
roll
over
and
which
actually
will
be
deployed
in
this
fiscal
year
in
this
budget
right.
So
you
just
indicated
that,
through
your
questions
and
your
answers
like
there
are
some
that
are
in
design
or
bidding,
and
you
know
different
phases
where
they
actually
will
be
used,
and
then
there
are
some
that
just
say
not
started.
AK
Z
Might
indicate
that
to
councils
just
so
we
can
understand,
you
know,
what's
actually
going
to
be
deployed
in
the
fiscal
year.
I
heard
you
saying
it's
complicated
and
hard
to
predict,
but
you
know
ways
that
we
can
look
at
this
chart
and
just
say
these
aren't
going
to
be
deployed
and
we
have
excess
and
you
know
x
amount
so.
AS
Again,
I
guess:
I'll
go
back
to
the
five,
your
CIP,
that
is
the
tool
that
I
have
to
be
able
to
show
counsel
where
we're
at
in
the
process
and
which
projects
I
will
be
needing
more
money.
So
every
year
or
for
the
last
three
years,
I've
been
bringing
a
five-year
CIP
where
I
show
in
the
first
fiscal
year
or
in
the
basically
year
one.
This
is
the
amount
of
money
I
predict
I'm
going
to
need
and
I'm
gonna
be
able
to
spend.
B
AS
Obviously,
depending
on
schedules
and
what
goes
on,
we
don't
always
get
to
spending
that
entire
dollar
amount.
So
then
it
does
roll
over
to
the
next
year.
So
the
The
Five-Year
CIP
is
a
tool
where
we
are
able
to
show
that,
and
maybe
this
year
we
can
look
at
a
different
way
to
show
it
better
to
clear.
AS
Z
For
example,
I
have
just
have
to
ask
because
we
got
asked
about
the
pickleball
courts
right,
so
that's
19-06,
I'm
sure
you
got
public
comments
and
emails
about
that.
So
that
says,
scope,
development.
So
there's
a
remaining
balance
of
a
large
amount
and
very
small
low
amount.
That's
been
expended
so.
AS
B
AS
AT
AT
AT
I
would
also
like
to
note
that
the
airport
received
about
12
million
dollars
both
and
cares
and
arpa
act
funds
which
have
been
instrumental
in
helping
us
maintain
our
operations.
Furthermore,
I'm
pleased
to
report
that
the
airport's
public
parking
has
increased
by
13
percent
over
prior
year.
This
indicates
that
more
passengers
are
using
the
airport's
parking
facilities
and
reflects
a
positive
trend
in
passenger
traffic.
AT
Additionally,
on
Airport
rental
car
fees
increased
by
four
percent
over
prior
year.
This
is
a
good
sign
for
the
airport,
as
it
indicates
that
more
passengers
are
choosing
to
rent
vehicles
from
our
on-site
car
rental
providers
for
fiscal
year
2023
through
December.
The
airport
has
achieved
50
55
of
the
operating
Revenue
budget
of
47.1
million
dollars
in
terms
of
operating
expenses.
We
are
on
track
to
meet
our
budgetary
goals
for
the
year.
AT
Our
team
has
worked
diligently
to
maintain
a
lean
and
efficient
operation,
while
still
providing
a
high
level
of
service
to
our
passengers
through
December
and
fiscal
year.
2022
operating
expenses
were
10.9
million
dollars
and
through
December
and
fiscal
year,
2023
operating
expenses
are
about
12.8
million
dollars,
a
17
percent
increase
from
the
prior
year.
It
is
worth
highlighting
some
key
points
regarding
the
operating
expenses.
Since
the
pandemic,
the
airport
has
increased
hiring
to
support
operations,
which
has
resulted
in
payroll
increases
by
11
over
the
prior
year.
AT
Additionally,
operational
costs
increase
by
15
percent
when
compared
to
Prior
year
and,
lastly,
quarterly
administrative
fees
to
the
city
increased
by
about
31
percent
compared
to
the
prior
year.
Overall,
the
fiscal
year
2023
operating
budget
is
31.
Point.
Excuse
me
35.1
million
dollars
and
the
airport
has
obligated
and
or
expended
36
percent
of
its
budget.
Looking
ahead,
we
are
optimistic
about
the
future
of
the
airport.
We
have
a
number
of
exciting
initiatives
planned,
including
the
expansion
and
Improvement
of
our
facilities.
AT
These
projects
will
not
only
improve
the
passenger
experience,
but
will
also
have
a
positive
impact
on
the
low,
the
local
economy.
We
will
continue
to
prioritize
the
safety
and
well-being
of
our
passengers,
employees
and
community,
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
the
city
council
to
ensure
the
success
of
the
airport.
This
concludes
my
presentation.
Thank
you
for
your
time
this
evening
and
I'm
available
for
any
questions.
A
D
Y
AT
Z
You
thank
you
all
for
all
your
work
and
I
do
think.
The
airport
fund
is
the
most
complicated
one,
at
least
in
my
opinion
that
we
see
so
I'm
still
trying
to
understand
it
fully
so
I
see
the
capital
projects
fund
and
thank
you
for
including
those
one
of
my
favorites,
the
airport,
common
use
and
carpet
removal
and
renovation.
Very
exciting
and
I
was
just
wondering
if
there's
a
fund.
Excuse
me
if
there's
like
airport
beautification
programs,
that
we
also
need
to
include
you
know.
Z
We've
talked
about
art
in
the
airport,
I'm
still
trying
to
fully
understand
how
you
know.
I,
know
FAA
and
there's
other
funding
that
we're
required
to
use
for
beautification
of
the
airport,
but
I'm
really
interested
in
airport,
beautification
and
ways
to
include
that
so
I
would
probably
put
like
the
carpet
renovation
in
that
category.
AT
Yes,
so
I
can
comment
on
that.
I
know
that
we
are
working
with
the
the
Arts
committee
and
even
the
Palm
Springs
Museum
Art
Museum,
on
getting
some
additional
art
into
the
airport
and
even
working
with
our
local
Palm
Springs
Air
Museum.
They
have
some
additional
airplanes
that
we
we've
had
some
ideas
that
we
threw
around
about
maybe
hanging
a
plane
inside
of
the
RJ
or
just
kind
of
throwing
out
ideas
there.
So,
but
yes,
we
could
definitely
take
a
look
at
airport,
beautification
and
arts
fund
for
our
fiscal
year,
24
upcoming
budget.
AT
A
D
D
Be
done
so
that
we
have
that
revenue
and
if
we
can
start
charging
credit
card
processing
fees
so
long
as
we
provide
an
alternate
method
of
payment
that
doesn't
incur
fees
that
we
do
that
and
then
the
last
thing
I
know
I
brought
this
up
on
several
meetings
about
having
a
percentage
of
the
vacation,
rental
or
other
tot
to
affordable
housing.
Ideally
I'd
like
to
see
that
happen
sooner
rather
than
wait
for
the
new
budget
year,
especially
with
April,
probably
being
the
strongest
month
of
the
year.
D
If
we
could
get
something
before
that,
just
especially
as
we
look
into
the
long
term,
if
there
is
any
kind
of
slow
down
in
the
economy,
and
we
have
all
of
our
expenses
that
a
lot
of
them
will
be
hard
to
cut
back
that
we
we
don't
end
up
having
to
cut
on
affordable
housing
because
we
don't
have
that
Revenue.
So
those
are
the
things
I
would
like
to
see.
I,
don't
know
how
we
do
the
percentage
of
tot.
If
that's
something
that
we
can
decide,
do
we
need
to
fully
report?
G
D
D
D
Z
Thank
you,
I
just
want
to
clarify
your
comments,
about
which
I
completely
agree
with
and
support.
All
of
your
comments.
Thank
you
for
making
them
your
comments
about
credit
card
fees.
So
I
heard
that
to
be
about
tot
and
maybe
other
fees
charged
to
businesses.
Is
that
correct?
What
how
broad
in
scope,
because
I
know
we
also
have
protected
fees
to
Residents
and
minimizing
the
cost
to
Residents
like
Parks
and
Rec
programs.
D
AD
D
Transfers
or
whatever
that
doesn't
include
a
fee
but
we're
actually
paying
we
as
a
city
are
not
charging
the
fees
that
we
are
paying
out
to
the
credit
card.
Companies
which
to
me
is
for
everybody,
I
know
now
is
start
charging
has
started
to
charge
credit
card
fees
as
long
and
as
long
as
we
provide
a
easy
mechanism
to
pay
with
electronic
funds,
transfer
or
other
means
that
that
doesn't
make
it
a
burden
on
on
the
community.
I
think
that's
something
that
we
should
do.
Z
A
Great
I'm
going
to
jump
in
since
it
looks
like
others
have
made
comments
already.
I
I
agree
with
many
of
the
comments
that
have
already
been
stated.
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
looking
at
some
of
these
allocations
that
we've
made
that
we
haven't
yet
spent
I
do
think.
That's
really
important.
I
know
that
some
of
this
is
upcoming.
For
instance,
our
Parks
master
plan
and
setting
is
actively
setting
aside
money
so
that
we
can
implement
it
quickly
once
we
have
it,
but
I
think
that's
something
tangible
right.
A
We
set
aside
that
money
because
we
knew
we
wanted
to
do
this
big
project
versus
some
other
funds
where
we
did
put
money
into
a
housing
fund,
but
we
didn't
decide
more
specifically
how
we
would
deploy
those
those
resources,
so
I
want
us
to
be
more
concrete
and
in
those
decisions
it's
it's
shocking
that
we're
actually
coming
up
to
a
year
of
making
those
decisions
and
those
funds
haven't
actually
been
been
discussed
and
allocated
and
I
I
hope
that
we
don't.
We
don't
do
that
again.
A
A
I
think
it
does
help
residents
to
just
understand
and
I
agree
with
councilmember
hostage's
exception
for
the
credit
card
fees
in
terms
of
of
parks
and
rec,
or
situations
in
which
residents
are
trying
to
get
a
benefit
for
themselves
and
their
families
versus
paying
tot
and,
of
course,
I
also
want
to
see
the
housing
at
the
tot
come
to
a
housing
fund.
As
soon
as
we
can
I
think
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
Is
there
any
additional
information
that
staff
needs
from
us
in
order
to
move
forward
on
this.
A
E
Yeah
I
think
the
most
of
our
direction
is
going
to
come
out
of
the
budgeting
process
as
I
understand
it.
But
the
comments
tonight
about
the
credit
cards
I
think
you
know.
That's
that's
opening
up
a
much
bigger
conversation,
because
if
we
just
look
at
parks,
Rex
charges,
what
about
the
small
businessmen
or
woman
who's
paying
ninety
dollars
for
their
business
license?
E
E
AN
F
Cohen
properties
is
a
business
model
that
Picasso
currently
operates
under,
which
allows
an
ownership
split
of
up
to
eight
owners
of
a
single
property
for
shared
use
through
an
LLC
in
March
of
last
year,
Council
was
not
inclined
to
allow
this
type
of
ownership,
absent
or
regulatory
framework
to
address
potential
negative
impacts,
those
included
but
were
not
limited
to
occupancy
numbers.
Parking
and
noises.
There's
also
concern
about
potential
impacts
as
to
the
affordable
housing
in
the
city.
F
Y
F
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Councilmember
Middleton
you!
This
is
a
broader
as
proposed.
At
least
this
is
a
broader
application,
a
broader
proposal
for
a
regulatory
framework
that
would
go
beyond
Picasso
and
to
other
similar
companies
that
operate
in
the
same
way
that
Picasso
does,
which
is
purchasing
a
property
that
property
being
transferred
to
an
LLC
and
then
ownership
being
split
amongst
a
I.
Y
F
So
that's
up
to
you
and
you
know
we
can
take
your
direction
on
that,
but
I
believe
that
we
have
made
a
distinction
between
vacation,
rentals
and
a
different
regulatory
approach
in
the
event
that
you
want
to
move
forward
with
that,
we
would
ask
that
there
be
some
direction
on
what
type
of
enforcement
mechanisms
you
would
want
in
place.
That
would
be
shouldered
by
City
staff.
E
E
And
the
owners
are
not
allowed,
or
they
would
not
be
permitted
in
the
current
policy
to
provide
for
loaning
of
their
time
in
the
house
to
a
friend
or
somebody
else
that
wanted
to
use
it
and
the
owner
was
not
there
right.
That
is
correct
and
the
another
concern
that
I
heard
that
we've
received
was
about
loud
noise
from
events
that
would
be
held
on
property.
F
Yeah,
so
under
the
proposed
ordinance,
there
would
be
prohibitions
on
weddings
and
Commercial
events
at
these
co-owned
housing
units
and
again
we
can.
You
can
provide
us
with
direction
to
seek
better
Clarity
on
exactly
what
you
think
is
appropriate
as
far
as
events
at
these
specific
properties,
yep.
E
No
I
appreciate
it
I'm,
just
seeking
Clarity
on
what
some
of
the
concern
that's
been
expressed
from
the
community.
Another
one
is
that
it's
going
to
add
to
a
parking
congestion
in
the
neighborhood
and
that
this
type
of
home
is
just
going
to
bring
in
a
lot
of
extra
traffic
on
the
street.
What
what's
gonna?
How
is
parking
going
to
be
handled
so.
E
And
in
the
conversations
with
staff
attorneys
and
and
the
Picasso
Representatives,
the
the
restrictions
and
the
penalties
that
have
been
put
forward
are
those
is
that
penalty
structure,
something
that
we
pushed
on
to
Picasso
in
particular,
or
is
that
something
that
those
penalties,
because
they're
rather
severe
and
I-
think
they're
they're
they're
good
regulation?
So
where
did
that
come.
F
F
Yeah
I
mean
under
the
proposed
ordinance
there's
no
specific
restriction
to
guests
that
come
over.
The
occupancy
limit
is
for
overnight,
overnight
stays,
so
there
could
be
people
coming
over
during
the
day
and
there's
no
specific
limitation
to
that.
But
yes,
it's
specific
to
the
events,
there's
no
under
the
ordinance
there's,
no
weddings
or
commercial
events.
All.
D
D
D
A
M
M
If
it's
their
time,
they
have
to
be
there
if
they're
going
to
have
you
know,
friends
over
and
also
you
know,
to
answer
your
question
about
the
parties.
We
do
have
a
Good
Neighbor
policy
that
all
of
our
owners
agree
to,
and
it
says
that
you
know
they
can't
have
any
parties.
They
can't
have
Amplified
music
in
the
backyard-
that's
not
written
in
the
ordinance,
but
that's
something
that
we
have.
Our
owners
agree
to.
M
Yeah
we
want
to
be
careful
because
our
owners,
they
do
own
the
property,
so
they
should
be
able
to
use
the
home
as
an
owner
would
use
it.
So
you
know
I
I
think
we
would
want
to
be
careful
about
how
that
language
about
you
know
having
guests
over
and
you
know
having
using
their
communal
space
in
the
outdoors,
isn't
restricting
their
use
of
a
home
as
a
as
a
homeowner.
M
AD
D
AD
D
The
big
question,
the
the
penalties-
are
somewhat
severe,
but
if
the,
if
they
don't
have
they
don't
have
to
use
Picasso
right,
they
could
get
someone
another
managed
property
who
may
not
be
as
as
good
a
player
and
then,
if
they
don't
abide
what
recourse
does
the
city
have
with
a
vacation
rental?
We
obviously
take
away
the
permit
what
recourse
would
we
have
with
this.
F
Under
the
proposed
ordinance,
there
is
a
possibility
to
revoke
the
permit
that
would
be
issued.
So
under
the
under
the
regulatory
scheme,
there
would
be
a
permit
that's
issued
by
the
city
for
management
of
these
Cohen
properties,
and
so
you
could
you
could
revoke
if
administrative
penalties
were
not
enough,
you
could
revoke
the
permit
issued
by
the
city
for
the
operation
of
that
property.
F
So
I
think
that
would
be
up
to
you
to
decide
what
happens
then,
if
it's,
if
the
permit
is
revoked,
and
then
this
now
co-owned
property
under
this
regulatory
ordinance
is
outside
of
it
and
and
not
in
a
proper
residential
area
right,
not
in
an
area,
that's
allowed.
What
would
I
think
the
question
comes
back
to
what
direction
would
you
have
for
us
to
do
in
that
situation?.
D
P
M
D
F
Z
Supreme
Court
has
found
that
in
that
income,
discrimination
against
poor
people
is
not
a
protected
class,
really
interesting,
as
we
think
about
like
who
we
protect
so
I
follow
up
on
those
questions.
So
corporate
ownership,
so
Picasso
doesn't
know,
allow
corporate
ownership
for
the
initial
purchase.
It
sounds
like
if
they
were
to
rescind
the
Picasso
management
and
then
resell
their
shares.
The
city
might
have
an
interest
in
Banning
corporate
ownership
like
we
did
with
vacation
rentals.
F
Z
It's
complicated,
obviously,
a
lot
of
people
hold
their
Assets
in
an
LLC,
and
so
it
does
get
complicated.
But
I
do
like
the
policy
that
we
did
for
vacation
rentals,
which
is
at
least
to
identify
the
actual
person
and
require
actual
persons
for
ownership,
because
I
think
what
we
want
to
avoid.
What
your
business
model
is
not
is,
like
you
said:
corporate
buy
up
of
our
housing
stock
I
had
a
question
about
how
the
block
is
defined.
I
think
you
asked
this
question,
but
I
didn't
understand
the
answer.
Z
Z
AU
The
real
problem
is.
We
want
to
make
sure
that,
as
this
goes,
there's
no
way
we're
going
to
do
50
houses
I
mean
it's
virtually
impossible,
I
mean
don't
forget.
Picasso
puts
out
all
the
cash
to
buy
these
houses
up
front.
So
just
just
by
that
the
very
nature
of
it.
We
could
never
do
that.
Many
houses.
AU
The
only
reason
we
would
want
a
higher
cap
is
because
this
ordinance
is
going
to
be
looked
at
by
other
cities
across
the
country.
So
let's
say
we
wanted
to
go
ahead
and
do
homes
in
New
York,
for
example,
they're
going
to
look
at
a
a
cap
that
we
did
here,
which
is
not
going
to
make
a
whole
lot
of
sense.
So,
just
in
terms
of
precedent
for
Picasso's
future
development
we'd
like
to
see
a
higher
number.
If
we
do
the
cap,
instead
of
the
one
per
block.
Z
AU
E
E
D
E
A
D
D
AM
M
D
M
Theory
that
that
could
be
true,
but
that's
in
reality,
not
a
something
we
would
probably
even
want
to
do
and
be
again,
as
Brian
mentioned,
I
think
we
have
a
lot
of
restrictions
and
self-restrictions
in
place
as
to
why
we,
wouldn't
you
know,
purchase
certain
homes
on
the
same
street
or
in
the
same
block.
Yeah.
D
And
just
to
be
clear
that
this
is
some
of
this.
A
lot
of
this
discussion
is
not
about
you,
but
it's
about
creating
something
that
anyone
else
could
come
do
and
that's
that's
where
it
gets
I
mean
you
have
shown
a
good
faith
effort
to
make
this
work.
There
is
it's
clear
so
of
the
discussions
that
some
of
the
suggestions
were
happening
have
to
do
with.
Well,
then,
Mr
bad
faith
comes
in
or
missed
bad
faith
or
is,
and-
and
it's
not
the
same
thing,
so
that's
what
that's.
E
Y
I
would
like
to
see
that
our
vacation
rental
enforcement
is
responsible
for
enforcing
this
ordinance
and
we
work
out
whatever
fees
we
need
to
have
to
be
able
to
do
that.
The
revocation
of
a
permit
to
operate
is
going
to
be
a
major
step,
but
I
think
we
should
have
that
as
a
potential
and
I
very
strongly
agree
with
comments
from
my
colleagues
that
it
should
only
be
individuals
that
can
purchase
shares
in
this.
Y
Y
That
block
is
the
way
to
go
in
terms
of
limiting
I'm,
much
more
inclined
towards
a
cap
and
with
all
due
respect,
I,
don't
think
50
a
year
is
realistic
by
any
means,
but
the
I
would
like
to
see
us
take
and
have
a
two-year
review
of
the
actual
workings
of
what
happens,
we're
charting
charting
new
ground.
Here,
let's
put
something
together
that
we
know
we
will
come
back
and
take
another
look
at
based
on
actual
facts
on
the
ground
as
to
how
well
it's
working.
E
E
Specifically,
you
know
on
some
of
the
key
issues.
You
know
we're
not
going
to
have
an
entity
like
Picasso
become
the
largest
homeowner
in
the
city.
It
just
isn't
going
to
be
it's
not
possible
when
they're
they're
only
going
to
be
purchasing
homes
that
are
two
times
the
medium
cost
of
a
house,
and
you
know
the
that
that
is.
There
is
a
limit
there
on
on
the
number
of
homes
that
are
even
available,
so
I
think
that's
one
of
the
concerns.
E
So
we
would
go
from
only
being
occupied
11
out
of
the
year
to
having
a
home.
That's
occupied
80
percent
of
the
year,
so
I
think
that
sense
of
neighborhood
is
going
to
continue.
We
will
we
will
have
a
greater
sense
of
neighborhood
with
this
type
of
a
home
versus
somebody
who
is
just
a
second
home
owner,
and
another
point
is
I
think
you
know
how
many
homes
do
we
already
have
multiple
owners
on
the
titles.
E
Well,
that
was
a
question
that
the
city
couldn't
answer,
but
we
clearly
have
many
homes
where
there's
multiple
owners
on
titles,
as
as
it
exists,
not
even
counting
trust,
so
I
think
this
is
we.
We
have
a
situation
where
we
currently
are
having
people
buy
homes
together.
It's
just
not
hasn't
been
looked
at
the
way
that
we're
looking
at
this
with
with
Picasso
coming
to
the
table,
you
know
another.
E
Another
key
thing
is
that
these
desperate
people
that
that
are
going
to
come
into
our
neighborhood
are
going
to
disrupt
our
neighborhood,
but
I
think
it's
important
to
not
remember
that.
You
know
the
these
co-owners
can
choose
who
you
know
they
can
come
to
the
table
and
choose
who
they
want
to
buy
this
house
with.
So
it
could
be
friends,
it
could
be
family
members,
it
could
be
co-workers,
but
they
can
choose
who
you
know
who
who
is
buying
this
home?
E
E
I
see
it
that
the
instead
of
having
four
or
five
or
six
people
go
and
buy
less
than
medium
priced
homes
in
the
area
as
second
homes
we're
going
to
have
those
four
five
and
six
people
upgrade
and
be
able
to
purchase
a
much
larger,
more
expensive
home
than
what
they
were
originally
planning.
So
we're
not
going
to
pull
stock
out
of
the
lower
cost
homes
that
are
available
in
the
community
and
and
that
this
is
a
barrier
to
to
home
ownership,
for
you
know
only
for
the
elites.
E
Thirty
percent
of
the
current
Picasso
clients
are
non-white
or
they're
identified
as
lgbtq,
so
you
know
we're
it's
not
something
that
is
just
a
pure
Elite
Class
opportunity
and
I
think
it
really
creates
an
opportunity
to
remove
barriers
for
people
to
have
that
second
home
ownership,
so
I
think
I
think
we're
going
the
right
direction
and
I
appreciate
staff
and
Picasso
working
on
the
the
proposed
ordinance
with
the
few
additions
that
we
definitely
get
added
in
I.
Think
it's
looking
I
think
it's
looking
really
good.
So
thank
you.
A
We
talk
a
lot
about
housing
and
the
reality
is
I've
said
this
many
many
times.
Housing
is
not
a
human
right.
Should
it
be?
Yes,
absolutely,
but
we
are
further
eroding
that
and
moving
away
from
that,
as
we
continue
to
allow
for
these
types
of
of
deals
and
this
and
deciding
that
it
is
that
owning
a
second
home
is
something
that
everyone
should
be
able
to
do
when
we're
still
trying
to
house
so
many
people
in
our
community
in
a
very
basic
way.
A
So
I
think
this
is
the
height
of
capitalism,
and
my
very
liberal,
Progressive
roots
are
certainly
showing
on
this
one,
but
I
I
can't
possibly
support
anything
like
this.
It
is
hard
enough
to
support
vacation
rentals
in
their
current
stance.
It's
hard
enough
to
know
that
we
have
so
many
people
that
do
own
second
homes,
that
they
don't
use.
It's
hard
enough.
That
half
of
the
units
in
my
condo
complex
are
vacant
when
people
are
living
on
the
street.
A
This
is
this
to
me
is
just
continuing
to
tell
people
that
they
need
a
second
home,
that
they
need
this
additional
luxury,
and
it's
it's
really.
A
small
fraction
of
people
who
are
this
is
within
reach
for,
and
everyone
else
just
continues
to
suffer
and
we're
the
gap
of
the
rich
and
the
poor
continues
to
broaden
every
day
and
I
know
that
you
all
come
in
good
faith,
but
I
can't
support
projects
like
this.
A
G
Thank
you
mayor
and
Council,
so
for
March
9th,
our
next
regular
meeting,
Thursday
March
9th.
We
have
the
swearing-in
of
our
new
city
manager,
Scott
Stiles,
so
we'll
have
a
presentation
for
that.
Then
we
have
two
public
hearings
and
four
business
legislative
items
for
an
estimated
three
hours
and
45
minutes
of
of
major
items.
In
addition
to
our
consent
agenda,
which
is
always
very
full.
So
we
have
the
Rios
project:
Zone,
Amendment,
tephra,
hearing
public
art,
commission
decision
appeal,
sidewalk,
vending
ordinance,
environmentally
preferable
purchasing
policy
and
our
financial
audit
reports.
G
Then
we
move
to
March
23rd
the
next
regularly
scheduled
meeting.
We
have
the
Dream
Hotel,
the
cdbg
annual
action
plan,
which
you
gave
Direction
on
this
evening,
it'll
be
its
first
public
hearing
that
will
continue
to
flesh
out
that
agenda.
You'll,
see
more
things.
Added
I've
already
noted
a
few
that
we've
talked
about
here
tonight,
so
this
will
continue
to
flesh
out
and
we
are
scheduling
a
visioning
session
for
April
3rd.
So
thank.
E
E
A
Z
I'm
sure
Steph
is
working
on
it,
but
I'd
love
a
way
or
a
place
where
we
can
see
what
the
requests
have
been
of
counsel
so
that
we
know
it's
not
I
know
it's
not
going
into
the
ether,
but
if
I
get
this
I'm
going
to
ask
for
my
things
again
until
they
get
on
this
list,
and
so
it
would
be
helpful
to
at
least
know
I,
don't
know
if
it's
now
in
the
minutes
of
when
Council
votes
on
bringing
something
forward
on
the
agenda,
but
I'd
love
to
see
a
more
comprehensive
list.
Yeah.
A
And,
and
to
make
that
note
too,
we
do
have
a
larger
list
right
that
the
prior
Council
had
been
working
off,
of,
which
is
something
that
we
want
to
discuss
at
our
strategic
planning.
But
we
have
brought
forth
items
this
Council
that
we
voted
on
and
said
that
we
would
want
on
the
agenda
so
I
think
those
are
the
ones
that
we'd
like
to
at
least
see
here.
Z
You
thank
you
like,
for
example,
I
asked,
for
we
had
asked
for
the
tot
for
the
housing
fund
item
so
I
know
you
noted
that
that
will
be
coming
forward.
I
think
I
also
had
asked
and
I
think
we
voted
to
have
the
10
million
dollars
in
affordable
housing
fund
come
forward,
so
we
can
spend
down
our
money
that
we're
sitting
on
I
hate
to
sit
on
10
million
dollars
for
affordable
housing
for
a
year.
We
could
have
at
best
invested
it
right.
Z
So
I
want
to
see
that
come
forward
and
then
I
do
have
another
request.
If
I
can
you
know
I,
you
know
we
had
also
talked
about
like
a
living
wage
policy.
So
I
I
know
those
things
didn't
go
away,
but
it
would
be
great
to
have
at
least
what
we're
formally
voting
on
to
add
to
this
list
is,
just
you
know,
uncalendored.
Thank
you.
Z
You
raised
this
in
your
comments
on
the
budget,
but
I
wanted
to
raise
it
as
an
agenda
item.
If
their
support
is
reviewing
the
Cannabis
tax,
I
know
the
city
of
Palm
Desert
in
the
city
of
Cathedral
City
have
reduced
their
their
tax
rates
and
reviewed
their
cannabis
ordinances.
Some
are
at
least
even
having
their
cannabis
tax.
So
I
think
it's
at
least
ripe
for
a
discussion
to
review.
AN
Z

A

For
the
Cannabis
issue,
just
if
I
can,
it
seems
like
the
tax
rate
itself
is
timely
right.
So
how
long
will
we
go
if
other
jurisdictions
are
reducing
their
tax?
If
that's
something
we
want
to
consider
so
I'm,
okay,
either
way,
but
I
would
love
to
I'm
sure
we'll
talk
about
it.
Envisioning
overall,
but
you
know
tax
staffs
input
and
when
it
should
come
forward
agreed.
A
E
Huge
hats
off
and
kudos
to
1ps
for
recognizing
one
of
our
city,
employees
for
all
the
work
that
she
does
and
has
done
to
support.
One
PS
Through,
The,
Years,
Jasmine,
Sullivan
Waits,
is
being
recognized
during
the
Black
History
Parade
on
Saturday
for
her
outstanding
contributions
to
1ps.
So
I
appreciate
1ps
for
recognizing
Jasmine
and
thank
Jasmine
for
the
incredible
job
she
does
for
the
city.
D
I
just
like
to
make
a
comment
about
what
an
incredible
time
February
is
in
Palm
Springs
and
the
different
types
of
groups
that
are
here.
We
had
this
very
high-end
heart
Fair.
We
had
modernism
week,
Black
History
Month
been
doing
events
all
month.
We're
going
to
have
the
international
bear
conversions
all
in
February,
which
shows
what
a
great
diversity
our
city
has,
and
we
welcome
all
these
groups
and-
and
we
thank
them
all
for
coming
to
our
city.
D
I
would
also
just
make
like
to
make
a
comment
and
thank
the
mayor
for
her
public
statement
on
the
anti-semitic,
a
hate
crime
issue.
We
we
had
a
difficult
situation
where
somebody
had
attacked
made,
made
violent
attacks
against
Jewish
people
in
Los,
Angeles
and
escaped
to
this
to
the
valley,
and,
fortunately,
police
throughout
the
whole
valley,
worked
together
with
LA
to
catch
the
person
before
anything
happened
and-
and
the
mayor
made
a
very
important
statement
on
this
to
the
Jewish
community
that
was
very
well
received.
So
thank
you.
A
All
right
well,
thank
you.
All
I
hope
that
the
public
will
join
us
at
the
Black
History
Parade
on
Saturday
at
10.
A.M
I
do
understand
that
there
is
a
H.
My
words
are
failing
me
there
there,
if
it
rains
too
much
they'll
move
it,
but
but
hopefully
it's
just
a
Sprinkle
and
we'll
all
get
to
enjoy
it
together.
