Regular Meeting of the Palm Springs City Council, held June 30th, 2022
A
C
A
All
right,
thank
you,
and
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
that
we
have
a
guest
city
clerk
coming
back
to
us
this
evening,
anthony
mejia,
and
we
want
to
thank
anthony
for
his
devotion
for
all
the
time
he
was
here
with
us
and
particularly
this
evening,
coming
back
due
to
the
illness
of
our
interim
city
clerk.
Thank
you
with
that.
We
do
have
a
couple
of
presentations
this
evening.
The
first
is
going
to
be,
I
believe,
remote
and
that
comes
from
live
stream.
E
Good
evening,
madam
mayor
council,
honorable
staff
and
guests,
thank
you
so
much.
I'm
michael
mcdaniel,
I'm
the
director
of
donor
recruitment
for
lifestream
blood
bank.
We
have
been
the
non-profit
blood
bank
supplying
the
desert
and
inland
empire
for
over
70
years.
We
are
the
supplier
of
all
hospitals
in
the
desert
and
that
takes
about
500
donations
a
day
to
supply
over
80
hospitals
in
six
counties
encompassing
over
six
million
residents.
We
do
that
through
our
fixed
site
donor
centers.
We
have
two
in
the
desert
that
we're
proud
of
also
through
600
mobile
blood
drives
annually.
E
I
cannot
overstate
how
serious
the
blood
crisis
is
right.
Now,
many
of
you
remember
in
january,
when
the
american
red
cross,
for
the
first
time
in
its
history,
declared
a
national
blood
emergency
that
helped
every
blood
bank
across
the
nation.
Unfortunately,
we
have
all
slipped
back
down
to
those
levels.
We
have
less
than
two
days
supply
on
hand.
This
means
we
are
not
ready
for
any
type
of
mass
trauma
incident
like
we
saw
in
uvalde,
texas
or
buffalo,
and
you
can
see
here.
Patients
like
five-month-old
paisley.
E
She
survived
a
heart
transplant,
but
required
41
units
of
lifestream's
blood.
To
do
so.
Currently,
we
would
not
have
the
stock
levels
to
fulfill
that
type
of
surgery.
So
we
are
here
today
to
ask
for
your
advocacy
for
blood
donation
and
also
talk
about
the
nine
cities
challenge.
That's
upcoming
kicks
off
tomorrow,
so
how
much
blood
is
needed
every
two
seconds
someone
in
the
united
states
needs
blood.
E
One
in
seven
people
entering
a
hospital
are
going
to
need
it
and
here's
the
scary
one
one
in
two
women
and
one
in
three
men
in
the
united
states
will
develop
cancer
in
their
lifetime.
If
you're
going
to
fight
cancer
with
chemo
and
radiation,
you're
going
to
have
to
have
blood
product
to
replace
what
that
chemo
and
radiation
has
taken
that
takes
about
eight
units
a
week.
A
trauma
incident,
like
I
mentioned,
is
about
a
50
unit
incident.
E
Liver
transplants
can
be
up
to
a
hundred
units
and
we
average
nearly
one
a
day
in
southern
california.
That's
over
30
000
units
of
blood
a
year
going
just
to
that
surgery.
A
fractured
hipper
joint
can
be
five
units.
So
how
did
palm
springs?
Do
last
year:
well,
palm
springs
is
an
outstanding
city.
You
collected
over
1
000,
pints
1076
during
a
pandemic.
So
thank
you
to
the
mayor,
council
and
citizens
of
palm
springs
for
being
so
supportive.
We
are
challenging
palm
springs
this
year
for
1500
pints.
E
E
I
believe
palm
springs
has
won
that
before
we
would
like
to
see
palm
springs
win
again,
and
this
year
we
will
be
having
a
heroes
luncheon
scheduled
for
9
9
at
agua
caliente
every
city
will
be
gifted
a
table
and
we
are
inviting
the
city
to
please
use
that
to
honor
your
local
heroes,
your
fire
chiefs,
your
police
chiefs
and
anybody
else.
Who's
really
made
a
great
impact
on
the
community
this
year.
E
One
of
the
big
prizes
is,
you
can
actually
win
a
year's
worth
of
ice
cream
from
ben
and
jerry's
we're
happy
to
have
their
support
so
to
contact
us.
You
have
a
regional
account
manager.
His
name
is
jacob
bakani.
His
information
is
on
the
screen.
Of
course.
If
you
have
any
questions
about
blood
donation,
you
can
always
visit
lstream.org.
E
E
A
B
Thank
you,
mayor
and
council.
It
is
truly
a
pleasure
this
evening
to
introduce
you
and
the
community
to
our
new
parks
and
recreation
director
yvonne
weiss.
If
you
want
to
come
on
up
towards
the
podium,
please
yvonne.
We
are
very
fortunate.
She
comes
to
us
from
the
port
of
san
diego,
where
she
was
the
parks
and
recreation
director
for
the
past
five
years,
overseeing
22
parks,
piers,
the
aquatic
center,
numerous
recreation
facilities
and
open
spaces,
and
she
has
also
overseen
numerous
major
events
that
contribute
to
regional
tourism.
B
C
C
C
I
am
so
delighted
to
be
here.
This
is
an
amazing
community.
You
have
an
amazing
team
with
the
city
of
palm
springs
and
I
cannot
wait
to
get
out
there
I'm
on
day,
four
right
now
and
I
am
so
eager
to
get
out
there
to
work
with
you
and
to
serve
our
communities.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
this
opportunity
appreciated.
C
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
and
I'd
also
like
to
take
a
moment
if
I'm
a
mayor
to
thank
jeannie,
kayes
jeannie
has
been
serving
as
the
interim
parks
and
recreation
director
for
the
last
nine
months.
She's
our
library
director.
It's
no
easy
thing
to
handle
two
departments,
especially
during
covid
times
and
staffing
challenges
so
jeannie.
I
thank
you
so
much
for
your
leadership.
You
have
helped
make
this
transition
a
very
successful
one,
and
we
very
much
appreciate
all
of
your
leadership
and
experience
helping
us
through
that.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
with
that.
Our
next
item
is
acceptance
of
the
agenda.
The
city
council
will
discuss
the
order
of
agenda,
may
amend
the
order,
add
urgency,
items,
note,
abstentions
or
no
votes
on
consent,
calendar
items,
our
request,
consent,
calendar
items
be
removed
for
separate
discussion.
I
would
like
to
entertain
a
motion
for
the
acceptance
of
the
agenda.
Are
there
any
items
that
staff
or
a
council
member
would
like
removed
from
the
consent
calendar
for
a
separate
discussion
or
vote?
And
I'd
like
to
start
by
saying
I
would
like
to
remove
item
1b.
A
A
Ab2438
has
been
amended
significantly.
We're
not
sure
at
this
point
how
what
those
amendments
do,
but,
after
consulting
with
the
riverside
county
transportation,
commission
executive
director,
the
serious
concerns
that
we
had
regarding
that
bill
has
been
lessened.
We
will
see
whether
or
not
that
makes
it
out
of
the
senate
appropriations
committee,
but
that
will
not
happen
until
august
and
there's
just
no
reason
for
us
to
get
involved
at
this
time.
F
G
Mayor
of
fuel
dutch
indulge
me,
I
don't
intend
to
pull
anything,
but
I'd
just
like
to
highlight
very
briefly
a
few
things,
especially
for
our
community
members
and
those
are
item
1g,
accepting
playground
resurfacing.
So
we've
recently
resurfaced
some
playground
areas
that
demuth
mouth
desert,
highland
and
victoria
parks.
G
One
of
many
parks
improvements,
that's
underway
right
now
and,
of
course,
many
more
to
come
item
1h
is
a
contract
with
allied
security
and
just
want
to
note
that
we
do
continue
to
evaluate
that
contract
and
expand
our
security
team
to
work,
to
keep
many
of
our
facilities
and
public
spaces
safe
and
item.
1N
is
an
approval
of
some
site
work
for
the
installation
of
an
aids
memorial
at
our
downtown
park,
which
I
think
is
going
to
be
a
wonderful
and
appropriate
arts
installation
there.
So
thank
you
mayor.
A
E
A
F
A
B
A
H
The
task
force
is
excited
that
the
aids
memorial
sculpture
is
moving
forward
and
know
it
will
be
an
iconic
addition
to
the
downtown
park,
both
in
recognizing
the
impact
that
hiv
aids
has
had
on
palm
springs
and
its
ability
to
further
educate
and
engage.
We
know
it
will
connect
with
a
broad
section
of
the
community
and
our
many
visitors.
H
I
would
specifically
like
to
recognize
the
great
community
collaboration
that
it
took
to
get
to
this
point.
Isn't
that
why
we
live
here,
the
spirit
of
generosity
in
time
our
resources
and
commitment
to
the
greater
good
years
of
conversation
and
presentation
so
far
to
individuals,
organizations
and
entities
have
brought
us
this
far.
H
H
G
I
I
just
want
to
make
a
comment
about
the
aids
memorial
that's
going
to
be
in
our
downtown
park,
or
I
propose.
I
want
to
very
much
thank
the
entire
group
of
people
that
came
together
to
envision
it.
I
want
to
thank
a
noted
artist
in
this
valley,
a
very
notice
artist
for
donating
all
of
his
time,
to
create
this
memorial
for
the
city
of
palm
springs.
I
J
J
I'd
like
to
start
with
our
friday
night
july
1st,
which
is
tomorrow
evening.
We
are
planning
a
dive
in
movie
which
will
take
place
at
the
palm
springs
swim
center.
We
are
going
to
watch
the
jungle
cruise,
so
we
encourage
the
community
to
come
out
and
bring
your
inflatables
and
your
picnic
baskets
and
come
and
enjoy
the
evening
with
us
at
the
palm
springs
swim
center.
J
Our
next
event
is,
on
saturday
july,
the
2nd
we
are
going
to
have
a
concert
at
the
downtown
park.
Following
that
concert,
we're
going
to
have
a
drone
show,
which
is
a
patriotic
drone,
show
and
will
be
synchronized
with
music.
So
if
the
community
wants
to
come
out,
it's
a
great
time
to
see
a
new
and
exciting
entertainment.
J
J
J
We
will
have
some
vendors
out
there
who
will
be
selling
some
wood,
fire
pizza
and
some
ice
cream.
Again,
our
recreation
staff
will
be
out
there
facilitating
some
games
and
enjoying
the
weather.
That
seems
to
be
cooling
down
for
our
grand
finale,
which
will
be
on
monday
july.
The
4th
we
have
a
series
of
events
that
will
take
place
at
the
sunrise,
plaza
it'll
start
at
3
o'clock,
with
our
family-friendly
pool
party
that
takes
place
at
the
swim
center.
J
J
A
A
A
I
A
J
A
A
D
A
K
So
the
request
that
you
have
before
you
under
agenda
item
1-0
is
a
request
for
a
resolution
of
public
convenience
or
necessity
for
an
approved
nightclub
use
at
the
zoso
hotel.
The
proposed
nightclub,
their
conditional
use
permit
for
the
nightclub
was
approved
by
the
planning
commission
back
in
march.
One
of
the
things
that
this
application
also
requires
is
a
resolution
of
public
convenience
or
necessity.
K
This
is
required
under
state
law,
which
limits
the
number
of
specific
alcohol
licenses
in
a
census
tract,
for
example,
in
the
census
tract
where
this
property
is
located.
There's
a
maximum
of
two,
and
we
currently
have
11
of
these
types
of
alcohol
permits
in
the
census,
tract
and
so
under
state
law.
A
city
council
can
waive
that
limitation
through
a
resolution
of
public
convenience
or
necessity
in
terms
of
whether
or
not
this
would
be
appropriate.
K
The
particular
property
is
located
within
section
14
and
specifically,
is
within
the
resort
attraction
zone
in
that
zone.
We
specifically
want
to
have
entertainment
type
uses.
The
nightclub
would
be
appropriate
relative
to
the
section
14
specific
plan.
In
addition,
this
is
a
nightclub
space
that
is
within
an
existing
hotel.
K
It
has
been
used
as
a
nightclub
space
in
the
past.
However,
there
is
a
new
owner
and
the
time
lapse
between
the
previous
nightclub
as
such
that
a
new
conditional
use
permit
was
required
and
so
based
on
those
factors.
Staff
has
recommended
approval
of
this
resolution
of
public
convenience
or
necessity
and
we'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
You
might
have
great.
F
Thank
you
and
I'm
supportive
of
this,
but
I
had
a
couple
questions
just
for
clarification,
so
under
state
law
just
so
I
understand
it.
Is
it
just
this
specific
type
of
license,
which
is
nightclub
I.e
without
kitchen,
and
then
we
look
at
ones
with
kitchen
differently.
When
we
look
at
the
census
tract.
F
Within
that
census
tract,
if
I
look
at
yeah,
nothing
personal
dean,
but
you
know
black
book
because
they
serve
food
or
village
pub,
I
think,
is
in
this
in
moxie,
which
so
I'm
just
wondering.
Did
the
planning
commission
talk
about
public
safety
issues,
crime
issues,
given
they
brought
up
those
two
in
a
different
which
we'll
be
hearing
later,
but
or
were
they
not
concerned
about
it
here
and
for
what
reasons.
K
No,
they
did
discuss
that
at
the
planning
commission
meeting
and
there
were
discussions
relative
to
security,
to
the
hours
of
operation,
to
noise
and
other
issues,
and
so
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
have
a
conditional
use
permit
property
conditional
use,
permit
requirement
for
nightclubs,
not
all
sites
are
equal
and
so
in
terms
of
surrounding
uses
in
terms
of
the
configuration
of
the
proposed
business
in
terms
of
the
hours
of
operation.
Things
like
that
those
are
all
taken
into
consideration,
but
going
back
to
your
original
question.
K
F
That's
helpful-
maybe
just
you
know,
having
all
the
liquor
licenses
might
be
useful
just
to
for
us
in
the
public
have
a
sense
of
how
many
are
in
an
area,
although
I
appreciate
these
were
those
that
specific
type
and
yes,
this
I'm
fine
with
this,
it's
within
a
hotel,
it's
a
little
different
situation
than
some
of
the
other
ones
that
we
deal
with.
So
thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
understand
that.
Certainly.
A
K
A
Then
let
me
make
a
statement
that,
while
I'm
very
supportive,
if
the
law
is
passed,
that
we
have
that
flexibility,
I'm
extremely
concerned
regarding
security
operations,
particularly
at
a
couple
of
the
locations
in
the
downtown
area
where
we
have
had
incidents
and
as
to
whether
or
not
a
4
am
closing,
is
appropriate.
Security
must
be
a
essential
part
of
the
discussion
and
I
would
hope
that
palm
springs.
Pd
is
consulted
specifically
on
any
movement
to
to
change
to
4
a.m.
F
Yes,
my
understanding
of
the
legislation
in
its
current
form
would
be
those
cities
would
have
the
right
to
allow
it
where
they
would
allow
it.
So
I
think
there
would
be
first,
my
understanding,
a
decision
by
the
council
if
we
want
to
allow
it
anywhere
and
where
what
areas
of
the
city
before
it
would
even
go
to
planning
commission
to
consider.
A
F
A
G
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
and
council.
It's
been
a
little
while
getting
to
this
point.
We've
had
three
study
sessions
and
a
pretty
significant
meeting
at
a
regular
agenda
business
item
to
review
the
budget.
So
at
this
point
you
have
reviewed
all
funds,
including
emphasis
on
the
general
fund
and
capital
improvements
plan.
G
So
as
a
follow-up
to
the
very
last
meeting
where
we
were
really
having
final
discussions
about
what
items
would
be
in
the
budget
and
what
would
be
left
out,
we've
included
an
attachment
to
the
staff
report
that
shows
those
items
that
city
council
directed
investment
but
remove
the
other
items
that
were
just
under
consideration.
So
you
can
see
that
in
your
staff
report,
the
items
highlighted
in
yellow,
where
those
or
in
the
yellow
box
were
those
items
that
were
directed
by
council.
G
The
others
in
the
blue
box
were
certainly
supported
by
council
but
originated
in
the
city,
manager's
recommended
budget.
So
we're
prepared
to
answer
questions
this
evening.
Otherwise
we
do
have
this
slated
for
a
public
hearing
which
is
required
prior
to
final
adoption
and
we're
available
to
answer
any
questions.
All
right.
A
F
A
L
L
G
Yes,
so
we
anticipate
a
multi-year
set
aside
for
funds
for
the
library,
starting
with
this
year.
There
was
a
discussion
previously
about
the
use
of
measure
j
funds,
there's
also
a
pending
grant
for
the
live
that
supports
the
library.
So
when
you
look
at
total
allocations
for
the
next
couple
of
years,
I
believe
it
totals
approximately
14
million
dollars
if
an
additional
grant
is
secured.
G
One
of
the
things
we'll
want
to
do
with
the
capital
improvements
plan
in
general
is
staff.
Right
now
is
really
getting
very
organized
in
what
projects
are
kind
of
moving
forward
when
so
that
we
can
give
you
a
much
firmer
time
frame
on
a
number
of
projects
and
make
sure
that
we
are
approaching
those
in
consideration
of
council's
priorities.
L
G
I
don't
know
it's
that
we
have
to
wait
that
long,
but
we
the
the
dollars
that
we've
set
aside
in
the
budget,
contemplate
the
grant-
and
I
think,
we're
cautiously
optimistic
that
we
will
receive
those
funds
either
way.
We
anticipate
more
than
one
year
of
setting
aside
funds
prior
to
construction
and,
of
course,
design
and
other
elements
could
be
taking
place
at
that
time.
G
So,
yes,
I
think,
unless
you
wanted
to
pledge
from
a
source
like
our
remaining
fund
balance,
I
think
what
we
would
propose
to
do
is
still.
We've
certainly
heard
from
council
that
it's
a
priority
to
move
forward
on
the
library
we
do
have
a
number
of
other
significant
projects
immediately
in
the
queue,
including
a
navigation
center,
and
you
know,
potentially
the
plaza
theater
and
some
others.
G
So
I
don't
know
that
you
need
to
set
the
funding
aside
now
because
one
way
or
the
other,
even
if
we
started
today
on
design
we're
not
going
to
be
under
construction
during
the
fiscal
year,
which
is
what
the
majority
of
the
funds
are
going
to
be
needed
for.
So
I
don't
think,
there's
a
consequence
to
waiting
to
hear
what
we
get
from
the
grant
either
way
we,
our
understanding,
is
council
wants
to
remodel
the
library
as
soon
as
possible,
grant
or
no
grant.
So
those
would
be
the
plans
that
we
would
bring
you.
G
One
thing
I
would
just
advise
council
in
the
community
is
that
it's
it's
common,
that
funding
that's
dedicated
to
a
particular
program
could
be
found
in
multiple
sources.
So,
for
instance,
we
have
a
number
of
personnel
in
our
police
department
that
are
dedicated
to
homeless
services,
but
from
a
general
standpoint,
we
have
some
current
commitments
that
we're
making
that
includes
commitment
to
the
daytime
access
center,
a
few
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
added
security
related
expenses.
G
We
also
have
some
remaining
hap
funds,
approximately
four
million,
and
then
there
is
a
currently
a
one
million
dollar
ongoing
set
aside
out
of
the
general
fund,
and
that
could
be
used
for
a
number
of
things,
and
I
would
only
in
in
consistently
talking
about
the
variety
of
areas
where
dollars
could
come
from.
We
also
have,
for
instance,
a
million
dollar
set-aside
in
the
police
department,
so
that
could
support
positions
within
the
police
department
dedicated
to
homelessness.
G
So
it's
not
strictly
limited
to
that
million,
as
services
likely
migrate
from
the
access
center
to
the
navigation
center,
though
the
current
investment
in
that
activity
could
also
be
dedicated
to
new
homeless
services.
So
I'd
say
we're
positioned
to
spend
between
1
and
1.5
million
dollars
annually,
as
we
transition
to
the
navigation
center
plus
grant
support.
Okay.
G
Sure
so,
primarily,
this
study
looks
at
calls
for
service
expectations
for
service
delivery.
The
variety
of
calls
that
we
receive
and
aims
to
do
two
things.
One
is
evaluate
how
many
traditional
sworn
officers
we
need
to
meet
the
expectations
of
the
community
in
terms
of
service.
It
also
looks
at
other
creative
ways.
We
might
deliver
services
through
non-sworn
support
staff
that
could
be
everything
from
behavioral
health
to
community
service
officers,
to
a
number
of
positions
that
might
not
just
be
patrol
officers.
A
And
lastly,
we
are
in
uncertain
economic
times,
so
we're
going
to
pass
a
budget
this
evening,
but
we
know
that
over
the
course
of
this
next
year,
what
our
projections
are,
as
of
tonight
are
subject
to
change.
Can
you
talk
about
how
you
plan
to
come
back
to
council
during
the
course
of
the
year
and
give
us
an
opportunity
to
adjust
as
necessary,
based
on
the
realities
of
the
economy,.
G
So,
firstly,
I'd
point
out
that
the
draft
budget
does
propose
a
20
reserve
balance
in
our
general
fund.
That's
20
percent
of
typical
expenses,
less
major
grants.
Additionally,
we
have
a
number
of
areas
where
we
have
set-asides
that
aren't
intended
to
be
spent
all
at
once.
So
that
includes
a
number
of
sinking
funds
for
fleet
and
facility
improvements,
deferred
maintenance
and
the
likes
that
would
not
be
spent
right
away.
It
includes
a
set-aside,
for
instance,
for
affordable
housing
that
would
not
be
spent
right
away.
G
So
there
is
a
functional
fund
balance
larger
than
that
20
and
then
in
terms
of
policy
and
practice,
it's
included
in
our
strategic
plan
to
improve
in
the
area
of
financial
management.
We
do
an
excellent
job,
but
always
looking
to
move
forward
and
one
of
those
strategies
contemplates
quarterly
reports
to
the
city
council,
where
we
could
review
our
tax
receipts
review
expenses
me
and
the
finance
staff
do
that
more
than
quarterly,
so
we'll
also
be
watching
for
trends
and
adjusting
as
necessary,
but
we'd
be
having
that
conversation
with
council
at
least
quarterly.
A
C
M
C
C
Street
we
have
seen
an
increase
in
violent
homeless
behavior
and
we
have
seen
an
increase
in
inappropriate
behavior
from
the
general
public.
The
stuff
you
see
on
the
on
on
tv
that
happens
in
airports
and
stuff
is
starting
us
we're
seeing
on
the
regular
in
our
community,
and
so
one
of
the
challenges
that
we've
had.
C
We've
been
working
closely
with
the
chief
and
the
police
department
on
trying
to
find
solutions,
and
one
of
the
biggest
challenges
for
the
department,
as
you
guys
are
aware
of,
is
that
the
the
department
is
short
on
staffing
and
people
and
whatever
the
city
can
do
to
support
them
in
in
in
what
they're?
Looking
for
to
make
up
for
some
of
the
shortcomings
and
being
able
to
staff,
I'm
asking
you
guys
to
seriously
consider
it.
C
We
recently
met
with
our
group
today
and
we
had
lieutenant
hutchinson,
come
and
explain
some
of
the
challenges
on
how
we
can
help
the
city
and
the
police
department
in
in
their
needs,
but
they
also
are
going
to
need
some
support
from
the
city
council.
As
we
move
into
a
recession
which
seems
like
it
could
be
uncertain.
But
we
don't
know
for
sure
times
might
get
tougher
in
terms
of
of
crime,
and
so
one
of
the
challenges
for
us
and
we're
worried
about
is
that
to
make
sure
we
have.

I'm
here
just
to
say
thank
you
so
much
for
including
dap's
campus
expansion
in
tonight's
budget.
B
B
As
you
know,
we
are
an
advocacy-based
health
care
organization
and
with
the
city
of
palm
springs,
we
have
been
fighting
side
by
side
for
equity
and
justice
since
1984,
because
it's
our
mission
to
enhance
and
promote
the
health
and
well-being
of
this
community
dap
is
serving
10
000
people
into
your
question.
Council
member
coors,
45
percent
of
them
are
palm
springs
residents
and
26
of
the
palm
springs.
B
Patients
live
without
health
insurance
dap's
campus
expansion
is
going
to
close
that
gap
between
affordable
housing,
access
to
substance,
abuse
programs,
access
to
mental
health
care
and
primary
care.
As
a
result
of
your
contribution,
when
our
campus
expansion
is
done,
we'll
have
four
primary
care
clinics,
an
expanded
mental
health
program,
a
substance,
abuse,
outpatient
program,
expanded
dental
clinic,
a
new
sexual
wellness
program
and,
last
but
not
least
at
least
61
more
affordable
apartments
which
will
bring
our
total
to
142
on
our
campus.

B
Patrick

good
evening,
madam
mayor
council,
members
and
staff,
I'm
patrick
jordan,
I'm
a
resident
of
the
city
of
palm
springs,
and
I'm
also
the
chair
for
dap
health
and
as
the
board
chair
of
dap
health.
One
of
the
greatest
pleasures
that
I
have
is
meeting
some
of
the
residents
of
palm
springs.
B
These
are
just
three
examples
of
the
10
000
people
that
dap
health
cares
for
and
how
do
we
do
it?
We
do
it
by
using
an
integrated
approach
on
our
13
acre
campus,
so
you
take
the
drug
treatment
combined
with
primary
care
and
physicians
and
integrated
mental
health
and
affordable
housing
and
dentistry
and
nutrition
and
food
distribution.
And,
let's
not
forget
our
case,
managers
that
tie
that
safety
net
together
and
that's
the
key.
It's
a
net
all
on
one
campus
and
that's
why
it's
been
very
successful.
C
Thank
you,
mayor
middleton,
mayor
pro-tem,
garner,
council,
member
woods
call
stage
and
coors.
My
name
is
jeffrey
bernstein
and
owner
of
destination
psp
at
downtown
business.
I'm
here
to
speak
on
2c
the
upcoming
fiscal
budget,
there's
three
areas
which
you've
discussed
recently,
which
which
I
want
to
support.
First,
the
fire
department
has
indicated
they
need
15
additional
firefighters
to
provide
the
level
of
service
we
need.
I
urge
you
to
approve
at
least
the
nine
tonight
with
a
plan
to
grow
to
15
over
time
our
city's
growing
growing
in
size.
C
It's
getting
hotter
and
drier,
and
crime,
including
arson,
is
increasing
in
the
last
year
alone.
Just
behind
my
store,
I've
had
two
dumpster
fires.
Local
businesses
have
already
been
notified
that
our
insurance
rates
are
going
up,
but
that
increasing
our
level
of
fire
service
could
help
that
we've
been
very
lucky
with
our
firefighters
have
managed
so
far
without
any
major
disasters.
But
we
don't
want
to
be
in
a
situation
where
we
look
back
and
wish.
C
We
had
taken
action,
but
didn't
second,
our
police
chief
has
indicated
they
need
additional
funding,
some
of
which
has
been
approved
so
far
on
tuesday.
I
sent
several
of
you
an
email,
pointing
out
the
need
for
additional
police.
I
mentioned
specifically
the
need
for
more
downtown
police
patrols
that
same
night,
after
sending
my
email,
a
known,
violent,
unhoused
person
threw
a
bar
stool
through
my
store
window.
So
much
of
the
crime
that
occurs
downtown
could
be
prevented
if
we
had
greater
police
presence.
C
An
investment
in
our
public
safety
is
not
only
investment
in
our
community,
but
also
an
investment
in
our
economy.
We
spent
two
years
proving
that
palm
springs
is
the
safest
place
to
be
during
the
pandemic.
We
need
to
make
sure
palm
springs
is
the
safest
place
to
be
period.
The
third
area
is
economic
development.
There
needs
to
be
a
city
business
liaison
someone
whose
sole
job
it
is
to
work
with,
advocate
for
and
promote
our
existing
business
community.
C
C
Q
P
P
P
Q
B
P
P
Here,
of
course,
I
don't
like
the
weather,
but
I
feel
the
emotion,
the
good
things,
and
I
need
to
thank
some
of
the
hospitals
here,
like
eisenhower,
j.f
kennedy
and
big
thanks
for
the
police
station
manager,
because
couple
of
days
I
was
sitting
on
the
road
I
lost
my
wallet
and
the
police.
He
stopped.
I
want
to
say
hi
to
him
this
guy
this
officer.
He
said
why
you
cry.
We
are
brother,
you
are
brothers
here.
Even
you
are
not
citizen.
I
tell
him.
I
am
citizen,
I
have
green
cards,
social
security.
P
P
B
C
I
want
to
speak
about
the
public
safety
budget
and
the
study
that
chief
mills
is
proposing
and
will
be
hopefully
underway.
I
want
to
thank
him
for
his
both
his
inspired
and
inspiring
leadership
for
policing
and
in
our
city.
You
know
it
pains
me
to
speak
on
this
topic
because
when
I
came
to
palm
springs
as
a
it,
never
crossed
my
mind
that
I
wouldn't
be
safe
and
today,
as
a
resident,
I
sometimes
think
very
carefully.
Where
am
I
walking
what's
happening
by
safety
at
risk?
C
He
had
to
be
careful
for
his
personal
safety
and
that
I
wasn't
sure
really
exactly
where
he
could
go
and
not
go.
I
think
what
the
police
chief
is
undertaking
and
what
the
city
council
is
doing
be
more
aggressive
in
ensuring
the
safety
of
the
community.
Our
visitors
is
essential
and
I
would
ask
you
to
support
the
incremental
funds
that
are
proposed
to
ensure
that
outcome
of
that
study
can
be
fully
funded.
Thank
you
very
much
and
good
evening.
C
I'm
afraid
that
without
the
kind
of
police
patrols
we
need
to
have
in
the
downtown
we're
not
going
to
maintain
that
reputation
and
that
we
could
have
another
zeldas.
Therefore,
I'm
speaking,
I'm
basically
requesting
that
you
look
seriously
at
the
full
request.
The
police
chief
has
made
for
two
million
dollars
in
additional
staff,
as
opposed
to
the
request
for
one
million
that
is
in
the
current
budget.
C
Thank
you
very
much
for
listening
to
me
and
just
one
other
small
comment.
I
was
on
the
library
board
of
trustees
and
I
was
on
the
group
that
looked
at
a
place
for
the
new
library
I
think
in
19
and
the
conclusion
we
made
wasn't
that
the
existing
library
should
be
remodeled,
but
that
the
city
should
be
open
to
either
a
new
library
or
remodel
of
that
building
dependent
on
the
needs
of
the
library.
C
C
I
have
several
points
to
make
about
the
importance
of
getting
the
police
a
substantial
amount
of
money.
A
current
reputation
as
a
safe
city
must
be
protected
and
enhanced
palm
springs.
Population
is
now
around
45
000
during
season
and
special
events
that
can
go
to
two
to
three
times
that
over
a
hundred
thousand
people
in
our
city,
we
have
an
excellent
new
contract
with
our
police
staff,
but
we
need
a
lot
more.
C
It
is
very
difficult
and
costly
to
recruit
new
police
staff,
there's
a
huge
amount
of
competition
from
overall
all
over
california
and
the
whole
country,
and
it's
a
very
difficult
and
challenging
job
chief
mills
needs
all
the
help
he
can
get
to
provide
the
safety
and
security
we
all
need
also
because
of
being
tight,
staffed.
Mandatory
overtime
creates
a
serious
problem
with
tiring
out
our
current
staff
and
just
not
being
able
to
do
the
job
as
well
as
they
would
like
to.
C
We
definitely
need
the
additional
two
billion
dollars
being
discussed
and
even
more
there's
a
good
possibility.
We
could
add
a
viewing
center
to
monitor
to
monitor
all
the
cameras
throughout
the
city.
Currently,
the
screens
are
being
monitored
by
the
911
staff.
We
definitely
need
more
cameras
throughout
the
city.
Some
of
the
private
businesses
have
cameras
and
more
do
in
order
to
keep
the
city
safe.
We
I
believe
we
need
a
dedicated
viewing
center
with
a
dedicated
viewing
staff
to
monitor
the
screens.
C
Please
let
me
re-emphasize.
We
must
protect
our
current
reputation
as
a
safe
city
to
visit
and
to
be
sure
that
happens,
we
have
to
give
our
police
department
very,
very
expanded
dollars
and
responsibilities
to
carry
out
the
very
vital
job
they're
doing
of
protecting
all
of
us
and
all
our
visitors.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
good
evening,
madam
mayor
mayor,
pro
tem
and
city
council.
I
just
want
to
call
in
quickly
to
show
my
support
for
a
few
different
items
in
the
budget.
Two
of
them
concern
our
most
vital
resources,
our
police
and
fire
departments,
and
the
third
strikes
at
the
heart
of
one
of,
if
not
possibly,
two
of
the
biggest
issues
facing
our
city.
C
I
just
wanted
to
echo
what
kathy
warwick
said
about
really
looking
at
the
full
request
from
chief
mills
about
2
million
needed
for
public
safety
to
be
added
to
the
budget.
You
know
just
on
these
calls
tonight
and
in
public
comments
we
hear
the
city
crying
out
that
people
are
afraid
I
mean.
Can
you
imagine,
like
people
being
afraid
to
be
in
palm
springs?
Think
about
that
right,
like
when
the
word
gets
out
that
residents
are
scared?
C
How
are
we
ever
going
to
ask
visitors
to
come
to
palm
springs
when
we
can't
promise
to
keep
them
safe,
and
this
money
will
create
the
resources
to
help
that
to
help
at
least
I
should
say,
help
ease
that
and
it's
so
needed.
So
please
take
a
look
at
that.
Full
request
same
for
the
fire
department
you're
requesting
additional
firefighters.
I
know
there's
levels
at
which
you
can
ask
for
some
now
and
more
later,
I
you
know
I
come
from
a
family
of
firefighters
and
I
say
you
know
whatever
they
need
and
give
them.
C
C
On
a
thankful
note,
I
just
want
to
say
I
really
really
appreciate
the
significant
increases
in
spending
on
parks
and
maintenance.
Those
are
things
that
people
can
see
happening
in
front
of
them
right.
They
can
look
out
their
window
and
see
that
happening
at
the
park,
and
I
just
think
that's
so
great,
and
so
thanks
for
that
and
lastly,
as
a
dap
board.
C
C
C
My
first
concern
is:
there's
an
increase
in
confrontational
people.
Somehow
now
it's
okay
to
start
yelling
or
be
threatening
whether
you're
a
resident,
whether
you
lack
housing
coming
from
all
different
corners
and
also
I'm
concerned
that
you
can
see
the
crime
reports
which
show
the
number
of
calls
are
on
the
increase.
C
C
C
C
C
C
Million
annually
at
its
june
30th
meeting
tonight,
I
believe
that,
in
order
to
adequately
staff
events
and
support
public
safety,
it's
imperative
that
you
support
the
additional
funding
needed
for
by
our
police
department.
I
urge
you
tonight
to
support
the
additional
funding
needed
by
the
palm
springs
police
department.
A
F
A
F
C
N
Okay,
we're
going
over
powerpoint
number
one.
This
is
the
fund
balance
schedule,
I'm
just
going
to
focus
on
the
far
right
column,
which
is
going
to
be
the
fiscal
year.
2223
proposed
budget
we've
seen
this
schedule
before
I
think
in
the
past,
so
I'm
going
to
start
off,
go
through
it
slowly.
If
you
have
any
questions,
don't
hesitate
to
cut
me
off
and
ask
we're
going
to
start
at
the
very
top.
With
our
beginning
projected
fund
balance,
the
unassigned
fund,
balance
or
unrestricted
is
just
under
75
million
dollars.
N
The
other
million
will
come
from
directly
from
the
general,
the
general
fund,
and
then
we
have
grant
revenue
we're
expected
about
35
31.5
million
dollars
in
grant
revenue
for
the
fiscal
year,
and
that
gets
us
to
about
188.3
million
dollars
in
revenue.
That's
very
consistent
with
the
number
that
we've
had
been
presenting
through
our
council
study
sessions,
we'll
move
down
to
expenditures
when
he's
done
and
for
operating
expenses,
we're
looking
at
about
156.4
million
dollars
in
operating
expenditures.
N
This
number
prior
to
the
council,
approving
all
of
the
budget
additions
at
the
last
session,
was
right,
around
150
million
so
on
the
city
manager.
Recommendations
that
blue
table
that
we're
kind
of
used
to
seeing
all
those
positions
that
were
approved
were
added
into
the
budget
brought
us
up
to
about
156
million.
N
We
have
some
set-asides
and
these
set-asides
are
the
things
that
the
city
manager
talked
about
earlier.
So
we
have
10
million
dollars
for
affordable
housing,
a
couple
million
dollars
for
workforce
development,
a
million
for
climate
programs
and
a
million
for
police
officers.
We
broke
that
out
because
they're,
basically
one-time
events
that
are
really
not
ongoing
operating
expenditures
sure
go
ahead
so.
F
A
A
N
Yeah
and
that
one
million
dollars
was
for
police
officer,
editions
and
salary,
so
you're
right
it
is,
it
is
an
ongoing
expense.
We
have
transfers
out
of
our
general
fund.
These
are
transfers
out
into
other
funds.
So,
for
example,
we
are
adding
five
million
dollars
to
our
facilities.
Maintenance
fund
we're
adding
about
seven
five
million,
I'm
sorry,
seven
million
dollars
to
our
facility
maintenance
fund,
five
million
dollars
to
the
fleet
fund.
Those
are
considered
transfers
out
to
other
funds.
N
N
N
we
have
a
proposed
minimum
about
30
million
dollars.
That
number
has
stayed
consistent
throughout
our
process
and
then
the
remaining
unassigned
fund
balance
is
about
7.2
million.
So
this
is
where,
if
we
remember
right
on
our
blue
table,
we
started
with
about
44
million
dollars
in
unassigned
fund
balance
that
we
were
going
to
use
for
city
manager,
recommendations
and
council
suggestions.
N
N
N
N
There's
many
other
things
that
we
would
do.
This
is
just
one
thing
that
we
would
do
for
now,
so
just
to
walk
down
real
quick
on
this
schedule
that
37.2
million
dollars
is
where
we're
projecting
to
end
up.
At
the
end
of
this
year
we
could
pull
back
50
of
our
affordable
housing
set
aside
had
put
back
5
million.
We
could
pull
back
50
of
our
transfers
to
our
internal
service
funds
or
that's
part
of
the
transfers
out
number
that
you
saw
earlier.
N
That's
about
six
and
a
half
million
50
of
workforce
development
and
50
of
the
climate
program
set
aside
is
about
a
million
and
a
half,
so
that
gets
you
another
13
million
dollars
for
a
total
fund
balance
of
about
50.3
million,
which
is
a
little
over
30
percent.
This
is
just
a
scenario
it
doesn't
take
into
account.
A
A
F
Thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
to
staff.
I
mean
budgets
are
such
enormous
undertakings
and
justin
and
nancy.
The
whole
team
did
such
a
great
job
and
it
was
nice
to
have
some
money
to
do
a
great
job
with
this
year,
so
that
made
it
even
more
fun.
So
one
thing
just
before
I
get
into
this
because
it
came
up
in
public
comment
and
maybe
captain
kovalov.
F
M
That
is
correct,
councilman.
Of
course,
I'm
not
aware
of
any
shootings
on
arenas
ever
quite
frankly,
yeah,
but
the
shootings
that
I
believe
that
were
brought
up
in
the
meeting
this
morning
were
four
incidents
that
have
occurred
over
the
last
six
months
in
the
downtown
parking
structure.
Right,
in
addition
to
a
stabbing.
F
Right
but
those
were
near
the
downtown
parking
structure
and
in
fact,
at
the
meeting
today,
it
came
up
that
all
the
bars
at
arenas
where
there
are
a
lot
of
them
have
a
lot.
Just
don't
have
violent
crime
going
on
I
mean
there
was,
you
know,
a
stool
thrown
but
they're.
Actually
among
the
safer
one
of
the
safer
places
in
the
city.
M
F
Yeah
well,
some
people
consider
loud
music
violent,
but
I
think
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
there
have
not
been
shots
or
those
kind
of
issues
on
arenas.
Yeah.
Okay,
thank
you.
So,
on
sort
of
big
overview,
you
know
budgets
right.
They
are
how
we
get
to
set
policy
in
a
big
way
and
set
priorities,
and
I
think
it's
safe
to
say:
none
of
us
have
everything
we
want
in
the
budget,
but
I
think,
as
a
council,
we
work
really
well
together
and
the
public
input.
F
F
Do
you
want
to
just
touch
on
a
couple
things
and
then
my
just
a
few
recommendations,
but
I
do
want
to
clarify,
I
think,
at
least
in
my
I
guess
my
seventh
budget,
maybe
adding
nine
firefighters,
is
the
most
we've
ever
added
firefighter
paramedics
at
well
over.
I
think
1.2
mil
1.3
million
dollars,
so
that
is
in
the
budget,
since
there
was
a
comment
about
that.
F
I
also
want
to
highlight
some
of
the
things
that
we've
done,
because
it's
an
unprecedented
amount
of
spending
that
we're
putting
into
parks
and
rec
it's
a
50
increase
and
that
doesn't
cover
all
the
money.
That's
going
on
the
infrastructure
side,
so
it's
well
over
10
million
dollars
of
new
funding,
additional
funding
in
parks
and
rec
on
both
sides
for
our
neighborhood
parks.
So
I
think
that's
a
really
exciting
thing
for
the
public
to
know.
F
We
also,
you
know,
put
in
two
million
dollars
for
economic
development
and
workforce
development.
We
haven't
decided
how
we're
going
to
spend
that,
but
we
wanted
to
put
that
money
aside,
because
every
time
there's
an
economic
issue,
we're
always
you
know,
need
to
get
started
on
how
we're
diversifying
our
economy,
so
that
is
going
to
be
discussed.
Further
city
manager
is
going
to
bring
back
some
options,
but
again
a
really
good
start.
We
moved
a
million
dollars
into
our
climate
action
plan
programs.
F
I
know
sustainability.
Commission
yesterday
got
sort
of
an
update
on
the
impacts
of
global
warming
and
the
impacts
for
our
city
of
it
getting
hotter.
I
think
they're
self-evident,
but
the
disproportionate
impacts
are
on
our
lower
income
communities,
and
so,
if
we
don't
start
now
putting
some
of
that
money
away,
we're
never
going
to
get
there.
I
know
we
have,
I
think
it's
5
million
for
fleets
and
we've
discussed
you
know
and
the
city
manager
has
mentioned.
F
You
know
looking
at
how
we
make
sure
whether
we
have
we
can
get
electric
cars
or
hybrids
or
high
mileage
that
we
need
to
look
at
that
through
everything
we
do
and
that's
something
you
know
this
council
has
said-
was
a
priority,
so
there
are
so
many
great
priorities
here.
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
a
few.
I'm
sure
everyone
has
some
different
ones
and
including
close
to
three
million
dollars
for
the
dap
health
campaign.
F
The
number
of
our
residents
and
that
number
that
have
no
insurance
is
staggering.
Who
get
help
is
really
needed.
I'm
so
glad
that
we
were
able
to
do
that
and
thank
you,
david
brinkman,
for
bringing
that
forward
and
then
we'll
figure
out
how
to
close
the
rest
of
the
gap
and
get
the
rest
of
the
funding
from
other
sources.
And
you
know
I
know
we're
all
here
to
work
with
you
on
on
that
effort.
F
The
two
issues
which,
if
one
came
up
a
bunch
in
public
comment
and
one
didn't
that
I
wanted
to
highlight-
is
the
police
issue
that
came
up.
You
know
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
hire
everyone,
of
course
right
away
from
that
study.
But
I
think
for
two
reasons:
one
in
this
budget
there's
6.6
million-
that
we
have
in
one
time
spending
above
our
reserve
and,
as
I
understand
it
from
my
conversation,
city
manager,
probably
three
to
five
million,
probably
additional.
F
We
started
discussing
this,
but
it
was
almost
midnight
last
time
to
really
think
about
allocating
three
of
that
for
the
police
department
and
just
for
the
public
that
doesn't
mean
all
police
officers.
It
may
be
behavioral
health
specialists,
that's
what
the
study
is
designed
to
find
out
and
by
the
time
the
people
could
be
hired
for
the
two
million
a
year.
F
The
chief
expects
that
would
probably
cover
us
with
the
up
with
the
million
we
already
did
for
five
years,
and
I'd
also
like
to
recommend
that
we
restore
the
extra
million
to
homeless
services
by
using
three
million
for
that
which
can
be
used
over
the
next
five
years.
You
know
we've
made
commitments.
F
I
think
we
talked
about
it
at
one
of
our
last
two
meetings
of
services
at
the
navigation
center
that
aren't
just
for
homeless
residents,
but
for
the
community
and
those
will
need
you
know:
that's
not
going
to
come
out
of
a
state
grant
for
homelessness.
That's
going
to
have
to
come
out
of
our
budget,
and
I
think
the
access
center
will
probably
still
be
needed,
even
with
the
navigation
center
for
daytime,
and
it's
just
such
an
important
issue,
and
you
know
we're
seeing
this
situation
get
worse
and
with.
F
If
the
economy
does
go
south,
it's
going
to
get
worse.
People
can't
afford
their
rent
people
are.
You
know
if
there's
a
recession,
we're
going
to
see
a
lot
of
job
loss
and
having
money
to
address
needs,
and
actually
you
know
some
of
that
money
can
be
used
to
keep
people
from
becoming
homeless
as
well
right,
because
when
people
lose
their
jobs,
if
they
don't
have
access
to
pay
their
rent,
that
does
create
homelessness
in
a
major
way
and
so
having
that
money
set
aside.
F
F
L
Thank
you
mayor.
You
know,
council,
member
coors
did
what
I
was
going
to
do,
but
I
just
wanted
to
ask
if
I
can
for
staff
to
do
that
as
well.
So
we
heard
a
lot
of
information
in
public
comment,
some
of
which
you
know
isn't
accurate,
based
on
the
investments
in
this
budget.
So
could
you
just
detail
for
the
public?
No
council?
G
Yeah
happy
to
do
that.
There
are
substantial
investments
really
across
the
board.
Some
of
the
others
have
been
mentioned,
like
parks
and
maintenance,
but
particularly
with
police.
I
also
want
to
just
mention
that
the
original
request
for
the
budget,
noting
that
we
were
going
to
undertake
a
review
of
services,
was
for
three
officers
and
three
mental
health
behavioral
health
practitioners.
G
I
in
the
recommended
budget
polled
the
mental
health
practitioners
in
part
because
I
wanted
to
see
the
results
of
that
evaluation
and
then
really
came
up
with
a
set-aside
number,
an
estimated
number
of
potentially
up
to
two
million
dollars
for
those
investments.
So
I
don't
think
I
don't
want
the
public
to
misunderstand
that
the
police
chief
has
said:
we
need
two
million
to
be
safe
and
we're
not
putting
two
million
in
the
budget.
That's
not
at
all
the
case.
G
The
million-dollar
placeholder
again
was
meant
to
be
above
and
beyond
current
investments,
including
some
of
those
that
would
transfer
from
daytime
access
center
type
programs
to
a
more
long-term
housing
first
navigation
center
and
those
would
be
separate-
and
apart
from
grant
funds
that
the
city
anticipates
receiving
to
support
those
programs.
So
when
you
add
that
to
the
additional
security
and
the
investments
already
in
our
police
department
for
homeless
services,
as
well
as
some
of
what
the
city
has
done
for
housing,
that
includes
set-aside
for
homeless
individuals.
G
It's
really,
I
don't
want
to
say
180
degrees
from
from
what
it's
been
in
previous
years.
But
it
represents
a
substantial
departure
from
past
practices
to
invest
substantially
in
those
service
areas.
So
every
one
of
those
mentioned
fire,
police
and
homelessness
are
getting
a
very
good
chunk
of
the
funding
of
the
budget
and
the
programs
outside
of
that
are
other
priority
areas
like
maintenance
and
parks
and
recreation
type
opportunities.
So
I
hope
that
answers
the
question.
L
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
yeah
overall,
really
appreciate
city
staff
and
the
finance
department
and
everyone
in
city
staff
who's
worked
on
this.
I
do
think
it's
an
excellent
budget.
I
appreciate
the
city
manager's
leadership
in
making
investments
in
our
team
and
in
our
city
palm
springs
continues
to.
L
I
think
this
really
shows
bold
investment
and
climate
and
responding
to
the
housing
crisis
and
all
of
the
issues
that
we
face.
So
I
I
think
it's
very
well
done.
I
appreciate
everyone,
you
know
lifting
up.
All
of
those
things
that
council
member
poor
has
lifted
up
for
me
and
pointed
out
that
are
such
wins
in
our
budget.
L
So
I
see
that
council
member
course
has
a
proposal
to
you
know,
allocate
that
six
million
or
so
that
we
have
in
one
time
funding
I'm
open
to
that
proposal.
But
I
was
also
interested
in
looking
at
library
funding
or
additional
funding
for
parks
and
rec,
since
it's
still
sort
of
a
marginal
portion
of
our
budget
overall,
even
as
approved
now
compared
to
overall
government
and
public
safety.
L
L
So
we
only
have
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
this
budget
for
grants
and
sponsorships.
We
continue
to
get
lots
and
lots
of
requests
and
we're
funding
some
of
them
directly
in
this
budget
like
through
dap,
which
is
just
so
important.
So
I
don't
think
500
000
is
sufficient
compared
to
the
requests
that
we
get.
D
D
D
There's
plenty
of
people
that
that
organizations
that
come
to
us
with
measure
j
and
we're
able
to
fund,
which
is
fantastic
but,
as
we
know,
there's
so
many
things
that
come
up
during
the
year.
That
organizations
didn't
think
what
would
be
an
opportunity
and
suddenly
there
is.
I
know
that
we
heard,
for
instance,
from
two
projects
already.
That
was
one
from
the
community
compost
that
wants
some
funding
to
get
going
and
that's
and
to
to
provide
an
education
to
the
community
which,
after
just
myself,
reviewing
some
of
those
composting
rules.
D
I
I'm
going,
oh
goodness,
this
is
going
to
be
quite
the
lift,
to
make
sure
that
our
community
completely
understands
what's
going
on
when
we
have
not
been
doing
this.
Most
of
us
have
not
been
doing
it.
The
same
for
toe
deck.
That
made
a
request
to
open
up
legal
services
for
immigrant
community
here
in
palm
springs.
Those
types
of
services
are
vitally
needed
and
to
have
an
opportunity
here.
D
We
have
invested
a
lot
this
cycle
in
things
that
we
need
that
go
hand
in
hand
with
public
safety,
so
often
people
think
of
public
safety,
and
they
only
think
of
police
and
fire,
and
they
forget
about
the
fact
that
sometimes
people
get
to
the
point
of
needing
to
be
responded
to
by
our
police
because
they
lacked
essential
services
and
investment
from
the
beginning
right.
They
didn't
have
that
workforce
development,
they
didn't
have
a
clean
park
to
play
in
or
an
access
to
a
library.
D
All
of
those
things
can
help
to
prevent
people
from
going
into
committing
a
crime
or
feeling
that
that
is
their
only
option.
So
I
think
it's
really
important
and
I'm
glad
that
we
as
a
council
have
been
are
investing
in
both
of
these
things
that
we're
not
just
saying
the
only
response
is:
is
police
there's
also
this
balance.
That
says
we
need
to
invest
in
our
residents
and
their
basic
needs
as
well.
I
Thank
you
mayor.
You
know
the
the
budget
process
is
very
interesting.
It's
been
very
long.
It's
been
very
tough.
A
lot
of
requests
came
in
to
us
last
minute,
which
was
also
very
difficult
to
deal
with
because
we're
having
to
then
give
things
up
and
make
things
happen
and
all
of
that,
but
besides
the
stuff
that's
already
been
talked
about,
which
I
don't
need
to
repeat
public
safety
and
parks
and
rec,
which
I
think
we
all
have
agreed.
I
That's
a
great
investment
in
our
community,
we're
doing
more
we're
actually
one
of
the
big
things
that
the
residents
have
been
asking
for
over
and
over
again
is
things
like
speeding,
pedestrian
safety.
All
of
that
are
big
issues
with
our
residents,
at
least
from
my
district,
and
I
think
holistically
from
the
city,
and
what
we
have
done
is
we've
increased
funding
in
several
of
those
areas.
We've
increased
funding
in
traffic
calming
by
250
000.
I
think
it
should
be
more,
but
I
think
we've
invested
250
thousand
dollars,
which
I
think
is
absolutely
fantastic.
I
We've
also
are
funding
two
programs,
our
pedestrian
safety
program
and
our
roadway
program.
We're
putting
funding
in
that.
For
that,
so
some
of
that
will
happen
in
the
city.
I
think
this
is
really
important
for
our
city
from
a
safety
standpoint,
where
we
don't
have
to
rely
so
much
on
a
police
department,
but
the
geometrics
of
our
roadways
and
our
sidewalks
makes
it
much
safer
for
people
just
to
use
it
and
we're
which
I'm
very
happy
that
we're
doing.
I
do
think
line
item
number
50,
which
is
workforce
development.
I
I
think
in
my
mind
it
should
say:
workforce
development,
slash
economic
development.
I
think
it
needs
to
have
both
of
those
in
there.
I
think
one
of
the
speakers
brought
up
there's
nothing
in
there
for
economic
development.
We've
been
working
on
that.
I
think
we
just
defined
that
better
would
be
good.
One
thing
that
I
do
believe
strongly
about
is
not
only
through
measure
j.
I
So
we
can
budget
all
we
want,
but
it's
not
going
to
happen
without
staff
and
I
really
think
we
need
to
put
at
least
one
the
one
engineering
staff
back
in
to
make
those
priority
projects
become
real
other
words
we're
budgeting,
something
we'll
never
have
the
money
to
spend
it,
it
won't
be
spent.
We
won't
see
any
fruition
from
it.
So
I
really
am
asking
my
council
members
to
reconsider
putting
at
least
one
position
back
in
that
can
make
those
projects
happen.
Thank
you.
F
A
A
In
rounded
off
numbers
we
had
actual
total
revenue
coming
in
of
just
under
124
million
dollars,
we're
proposing
a
budget
for
2223
of
just
over
188
million
dollars.
That's
a
64
million
dollar
increase
in
the
course
of
three
years
and
how
much
we
are
spending
in
the
city.
That
is
a
remarkable
increase,
and
if
I
have
my
numbers
correct
and
mr
mejia
may
correct
me,
if
I
don't,
but
at
64
million
dollars
in
increase,
that
is
more
than
the
total
budget
of
the
city
of
palm
desert.
A
And
in
three
years
we
have
added
the
equivalent
of
another
city
to
our
budget.
That
is
a
remarkable
story
of
the
economic
strength
of
our
community
here
in
palm
springs.
But
it
is
also
a
remarkable
story
in
terms
of
our
commitment
to
this
community
and
trying
to
to
make
the
increases.
So
I
think
we
have
as
presented
to
us
a
budget
that
works
and
one
that
won't
be
the
last
word.
A
We
know
that
next
month,
we'll
get
new
economic
numbers
in
the
month
after
that
and
the
month
after
that,
and
we
will
make
adjustments
as
we
need
to
we've
all
identified
things
that
we
want
to
see
additional
spending
placed
on.
But
at
this
point
I
think
it's
time
unless
somebody
else
wants
to
speak
up
for
us
to
take
a
motion
and
see
if
we
can
get
consensus
on
a
vote.
F
So
I
don't
remember
the
exact
current
plan
because
we
went
in
more
depth
than
before
and
I
think
a
lot
of
this
will
come
out
of
measure
j
and
there
they've
made
that
commitment
to
it.
So
I
mean,
I
think,
we're
all
on
board
with
saying:
yes,
we
we
want
to
make
sure
the
money's
there
is
there
anything
we
could
or
do
tonight,
or
is
that
already
do
you
feel
happening
so.
G
I
I
think
one
way
or
the
other
council
has
given
direction,
that
the
library's
a
priority,
so
there's
always
room
to
discuss
where
the
money
comes
from.
In
fact,
I
should
correct
something
I
said
earlier.
I
said
approximately
7
million
set
aside
this
year
and
seven
next,
it's
actually
closer
to
8.3
this
year
and
5.8
or
so
next
of
the
8
million
that's
going
in
this
year.
Half
is
from
measure.
J
and
half
is
from
capital
funds
one
way
or
the
other.
We
anticipate
securing
the
revenue
necessary
measure.
G
F
G
Really,
the
only
realistic
way
to
keep
up
with
that
level
of
activity
is,
is
probably
to
add
at
least
two
project
engineers.
Certainly
we
can
add
one
and
then
assess
where
we're
at,
but
but
given
that
the
capital
improvements
plan,
the
expectations
for
timeliness
has
increased
during
the
budget
conversations.
G
G
Yes,
we're
essentially
balanced
in
ongoing
revenues.
I
I
am
a
little
bit.
You
know
I
just
a
word
of
caution
that,
as
we
potentially
do
some
things
you
know
that
could
represent
ongoing
expenses
like
investments
in
our
police
department
secured
for
a
period
of
years,
potentially
with
one-time
money.
You
know
those
will
be
ongoing,
costs
that
need
to
be
accounted
for
and
would
require
some
future
growth
or
some
other.
G
You
know,
adjustment
and
expenses
and
we
do
have
added
expenses,
even
if
we
don't
add
anything
new
through
the
inflationary
pressure,
union,
mousse
and
and
other
kind
of
nominal
costs,
so
160
000
roughly,
is
is
a
almost.
I
don't
want
to
say
it's
a
rounding
error.
It's
significant
money,
but
in
the
context
of
180,
plus
million
dollar
general
fund,
you
know,
could
be
accounted
for
through
vacancies
in
a
couple
positions
or
something
like
that.
But
we
should
be
cautious
not
to
add
too
much
that
is
ongoing.
F
F
Just
having
that
a
little
broader
and
then
adding
3
million
into
police
also
to
be
used
over
multiple
years
and
again,
as
was
discussed,
that's
for
a
wide
variety.
It's
not
necessarily
all
police
officers
right.
It's
based
on
what
the
study
shows
us
makes
the
most
sense
in
order
to
address
and
prevent
crime.
So
that
would
be
my
motion.
B
L
Thank
you,
council,
member
of
course,
really
appreciate
you
always
being
proactive
and
coming
up
with
recommendations
and
suggestions
to
get
us
there.
So
thank
you
for
your
leadership.
I
just
have
some
clarifying
questions
so
for
the
homelessness
and
homelessness
prevention.
Thank
you
for
adding
that.
I
think
that's
really
important.
Will
that
be
separate
and
apart
from
the
housing
funds
that
we
allocated
or
will
that
you
know
how
will
that
be
held
or
how
will
that
be
sort
of
committed
to
that
council?
L
F
One
thing
we
didn't
highlight
is
setting
aside
10
million
dollars
for
affordable
housing
and
without
having
money
there,
because
it
takes
local
grants
to
leverage
money
and,
as
we
know,
from
the
two
projects
we
approved
last
year,
one
at
dap
and
one
on
stevenson,
palm
canyon.
You
know
our
several
million
dollars
helped
leverage
tens
of
millions
of
dollars,
and
that
is
just
essential.
It's
how
the
state
and
federal
governments
work.
They
want
the
local
contribution.
So
I
think
that's
a
separate
entity
than
this.
You
know.
F
Originally,
the
city
manager
wanted
two
million
a
year
ongoing
relating
to
homelessness,
so
I
think
it
would
fall
into
that
pot
of
money.
You
know
when
we
added
some
money:
a
million,
the
first
million
of
police
and
the
extra
firefighters.
It
came
out
of
that
money
that
got
reduced
the
homeless
funding.
So
it's
sort
of
to
make
that
available,
but
I
think
a
little
broader.
So
I
think
it
would
stay
in
the
general
fund
sort
of
earmarked
to
be
available
for
that
and,
of
course
it
helps
us
with.
F
L
L
So
I
might
just
ask
like
we
say
it
broader
public
safety,
because
I
think
what
will
happen
you
know
possibly
is
behavioral
health
programming
or
behavioral
health
workers
to
respond
to
people
in
crisis,
so
that
police
don't
have
to
be
on
the
front
lines
of
that
right,
like
a
broader
staffing
ability
for
public
safety
is,
is,
and
then
I
assume
that
would
also
be
earmarked
in
the
in
the
general
fund.
Right.
Yes,.
F
L
L
I
I
I
Both
and
then
I
I
would
like
to
just-
and
I
said
this
at
previous
budget
meetings-
is
to
give
a
directive
to
staff
to
expand
what
traffic
calming
can
be
and
what
it
can
pay
for,
and
I'd
just
like
to
send.
You
know,
council
consensus
on
that
as
a
direction
to
staff,
so
that
somebody
who
wants
something,
that's
non-traditional
or
is
not
in
the
little
book
right
now
and
I'm
looking
at
our
or
one
of
our
engineers
out
there
shaking
his
head
to
be
able
to
do
that.
I
And
I
would
support
that-
and
I
want
to
add
one
other
comment
just
to
I'm
the
mayor,
I'm
picking
up
in
the
mirror.
The
reason
our
budget
is
so
good
is
not
only
a
dedicated
staff
making
the
city
great,
but
we
have
created
and
built
upon
a
brand,
a
brand
that
at
one
time,
was
very
high
and
then
died
and
has
been
brought
back
through
a
number
of
efforts.
I
Everything
from
architecture
to
people
to
social
services
such
as
dap,
which
I
had
a
discussion
with
mr
brinkman
today
about
that
to
creating
a
different
main
street.
You
know
that
that
has
interesting
streets
and
he's
walkable
and
parking
is
behind
and
we
build
upon
that
brand
and
that's
what
makes
us
different
than
palm
desert.
I
We
have
a
downtown
and
we
have
a
place.
People
want
to
come
and
they
want
to
leave.
You
know
their
daily
life
into
something
magical.
We
have
a
main
street,
we're
not
disneyland.
We
have
a
main
street,
so
I
think
what
we're
trying
to
do
with
this
budget
is
continue
to
build
on
that
brand.
Make
it
stronger-
and
you
know
big
kudos
to
everyone
in
the
hospitality
industry
that
allows
us
to
live
way
beyond
our
means
and
a
wonderful,
wonderful
magical
place.
I

D

Good
evening,
mayor
and
council,
the
item
before
you
this
evening,
item
2b
is
an
appeal
of
the
fuego
nightclub.
As
you'll
recall,
this
is
a
request
to
establish
a
nightclub
within
the
9
500
square
foot.
Building
located
at
383,
south
palm
canyon
drive,
it
was
the
conditional
use
permit,
was
denied
by
the
planning
commission
on
march
9th
by
a
vote
of
7-0,
and
then
the
council
considered
the
appeal
originally
on
april
21st
of
this
year
and
continued
it
to
may
12th
to
allow
additional
evaluation
by
our
police
department
at
the
may
12th
meeting.
R
It
was
within
the
you
know
the
same
area
as
what
is
being
proposed.
The,
however,
the
event
space
was
roughly
4
000
square
feet.
On
the
second
level,
events
did
consist
of
weddings
meetings,
banquets
and
other
assembly
type
events,
and
they
did
have
very
broad
operational
hours,
although
I
don't
believe
the
business
utilized
the
full
extent
of
those
approvals
from
6
a.m
to
2
a.m.
R
R
R
R
Staff
does
continue
to
have
concerns
relative
to
the
operation
and
its
impacts
on
relative
to
noise
crime
to
the
adjacent
area
that
may
not
necessarily
be
addressed
through
the
security
plan.
So,
ultimately,
the
issue
from
the
pd
experience
is
really
relative
to
how
the
operation
is
run
and
how
well
they
handle
problems
as
they
arise.
R
In
terms
of
the
pedestrian
safety
and
potential
of
the
installation
of
a
mid-block
crossing
on
palm
canyon,
the
city
engineer
has
determined
that
that
would
be
an
acceptable
location.
If
we
had
an
engineering
study
that
determined
it
was
warranted,
we
did
notify
the
afghan
the
costs
range
from
80
to
400
000,
just
depending
on
the
type
of
system
that's
installed.
R
These
would
be
in
addition
to
those
that
you
saw
in
the
staff
report
that
also
include
several
conditions
relative
to
noise,
attenuation
and
mitigation
on
within
the
structure.
Noise,
limiters,
noise
stations,
so
all
of
those
previous
conditions
that
we
had
provided
to
you
in
the
past
would
be
included.
Should
the
council
approve
that
the
the
application
tonight?
R
As
I
said,
you
have
the
option
to
adopt
one
of
two
resolutions
that
we
have
in
your
staff
report
either
to
approve
with
these
conditions
or
to
deny,
based
on
the
findings
that
the
planning
commission
has
made.
So
with
that,
I'm
concluding
my
presentation,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank
you.
F
Thank
you
for
that
david.
So
just
I
think,
just
two
questions
of
lots
of
comments
later
I'm
sure,
but
so
in
the
previous
use
as
an
event
space.
Where
often
they
did
have
music
live
music
and
dj
music
building
occupancy
was
limited
to
185,
and
this
is,
I
think,
double
that.
Can
you
explain
the
difference
so.
R
R
F
F
And
when
we
look
at
the
data
I
received
from
the
police
department
about
where
the
main
number
of
complaints
are
from
liquor
licenses,
it's
ones
that
are
restaurants
in
theory
that
operate
as
nightclubs
and
some
change
right
and
we
know,
we've
had
kitchens
added
to
places
that
are
still
listed
as
type
48
are
now
also
restaurants
right
during
covid-
and
I
don't
know
if
anyone's
gone
back
to
chain
shows
because
on
the
last
item
the
one
at
the
zozo
nightclub,
there
are
places
in
there.
There
actually
are
now
restaurants
and
serve
food.
F
R
I
might
just
be
able
to
comment
on
that
so
typically
for
the
restaurants
that
do
offer
entertainment
as
an
accessory
to
that
operation.
We
do
have
that
as
a
requirement
in
our
code
that,
if
there's
any
accessory
entertainment,
it
is
approved
through
that
land
use
permit,
and
certainly
we,
if
there's
a
business,
that's
operating
outside
of
those
parameters
and
they're
operating
solely
in
nightclub
they're
having
cases
where
we
do
have
businesses
that
do
want
the
conditional
use
permit
approved
so
that
they
have
those
that
ability
to
operate
as
a
nightclub.
R
One
is
one
example
is
the
reforma
which
will
be
going
in
next
to
the
bevmo,
which
did
get
a
conditional
use
from.
They
are
a
restaurant,
but
they
are
also
operating
a
nightclub.
So
you
know
we
may
need
to
take
a
closer
look
at
some
of
the
businesses
that
are
operating
under
the
land
use
permit
to
see
if
they
are
operating
outside,
of
the
the
permissions
granted
under
the
language
permit
and
maybe
take
a
look
at
contacting
those
businesses.
F
R
So
the
lup
is,
is
the
acronym
for
a
land
use
permit
and
that's
an
administrative
permit
that
staff
processes
internally,
we
review
it
with
other
departments.
We
get
gather
conditions
from
other
departments
to
ensure
that
the
use
is
operating
in
accordance
with
our
standards
and
and
practices.
So
that
is
something
that
we
process
administratively.
R
Typically,
those
are
less
intrusive
or
less
problematic
for
the
city,
so
those
are
that's
kind
of
one
process
that
we
have
a
whole
set
of
uses
that
are
permitted
in
our
different
in
all
the
different
zones
in
terms
of
the
conditional
use
permit.
That
is
kind
of
a
larger
review,
and
that
does
require
a
public
hearing
with
the
planning
commission,
and
that
has
there's
several
there's
five
findings
that
a
commission,
the
commission
will
have
to
make
relative
to
the
use
and
compatibility
with
the
surrounding
area
and
similar
to
the
language
permit.
F
I
Thank
you,
david
for
all
the
work
that
you
put
into
this,
and
I
know
it's
it's
a
difficult
issue
for
everyone
involved.
You
know
the
security
plan.
We've
got
a
strong
condition
that
says
if
they
violate
the
security
plan
in
any
way,
shape
or
form,
we
have
every
right
to
revoke
it,
which
I
think
we
need,
which
I
think
is
a
lot
of
the
public.
I
It
says
the
applicant
shall
notify
the
police
department
if
any
special
event,
but
it
doesn't
say
how
they
notify
them,
how
in
advance
they
notify
them.
You
know,
and
I
think
that's
not.
I
don't
think
that's
good
policy.
I
think
we
really
need
to
spell
it
out
so
that
the
police
department
has
advanced
warning
of
something
that's
going
to
happen,
and
then
I
also
look
at
on
page
2b-31.
I
The
video
surveillance
system
shall
be
checked
daily
to
make
sure
it
is
functioning
by
whom,
how
is
it
verified?
And
I
you
know,
I
agree
with
the
condition.
I
just
think
we
really
need
to
look
at
it
and
the
same
with
2b-31.
It
says
the
police
chief
may
request
the
applicant
to
add
additional
lighting
at
any
time.
I
think
it
needs
to
be
the
police
chief
or
a
designee.
I
R
A
M
M
The
video
surveillance
system,
which,
from
an
investigative
standpoint
when
an
incident
happens,
plays
a
huge
role
in
solving
crimes.
So
it
has
that
information
in
it.
Some
of
the
exterior
lighting
is
stuff
from
the
past.
We've
had
to
bring
up
with
nightclubs
that
are
no
longer
in
business
and
we
are
no
by
any
means
lighting
experts,
and
I
there's
ultimately
now
that
you
brought
that
up.
Those
should
go
through
probably
planning
that
somebody's
more
aware
of
lighting
conditions
in
our
lighting
ordinance,
but
the
security
plan
itself
is
addressing
security
officers.
M
What
the
security
guards
do.
They
need
to
be
licensed
what
they
should
wear
their
behavior.
What
areas
they're
going
to
monitor
patrol
how
often
they're
going
to
patrol
one
of
the
the
issues
we
struggle
with?
Not
only
night
clubs,
but
we
have
with
a
homeless
service
provider
in
the
past,
was
how
far
outside
of
their
property
are
they
responsible
for,
and
we
really
do
not
have
a
definition
that
firmly
addresses
that,
but
we
want
some
patrols
around
the
property
to
make
sure
everything
within
their
control
is
addressed.
M
So
that's
what
is
addressed
in
the
security
plan.
What
is
not
addressed
are
those
noise
complaints.
Those
fall
under
our
noise
ordinance
and
what
is
also
not
addressed
is
our
concerns
about
how
that's
going
to
impact
the
area.
The
security
plan
does
not
address
pedestrians
walking
across
an
area
of
palm
canyon,
where
speeds
significantly
pick
up,
because
it's
a
long
stretch
of
roadway
pedestrians
are
going
to
be
walking
across
a
dark
roadway
to
perhaps
their
cars
parked
across
the
street.
M
The
concerns
I
have
with
it
ultimately
are.
We
all
know
that
alcohol
consumption
does
not
make
people
quieter
and,
as
they
flow
out
into
these
areas,
that
are
somewhat
quiet
in
the
early
morning
hours.
Those
are
the
type
of
disturbances.
I
I
think
are
going
to
impact
that
neighborhood,
but
the
security
plan
itself
is
more
about
the
actual
facility
in
the
immediate
facility,
not
all
of
those
secondary
impacts.
M
I'll
give
you
some
just
basic
numbers,
you
know
between
the
hours
of
9,
00
pm
and
2
30
in
the
morning.
Our
minimum
staffing
would
be
10
officers
and
two
sergeants
if
we
do
not
station
officers
in
and
around
the
parking
structure,
a
minimum
of
two.
So
basically,
you
know
20
of
your
patrol
force
there.
We
have
problems
consistently
all
around
that
area.
M
R
A
G
My
recollection
is
the
public
hearing
per
se
was
closed,
although
it
was
listed
as
a
public
hearing
which
would
communicate
to
people
that
wanted
to
weigh
in
on
this
issue
that
they
would
have
to
wait
until
now
opposed
to
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting.
So
I
would
think
with
limited
people
interested
in
speaking,
it
makes
sense
to
to
allow
them
to
speak
if,
at
your
discretion,.
A
O
Good
evening,
council
members,
madam
mayor,
thank
you
again
for
having
us.
I
will
be
as
quick
as
possible.
I
understand
that
I
have
two
minutes.
I
know
you
all
have
the
information
and
I
won't
go
too
much
into
detail
on
it
in
the
essence
of
time,
but
I
do
want
to
touch
a
little
bit
on
the
email
that
we
did
receive
on
parking
noise
potential
crime.
O
The
parking
requirements
for
this
project,
as
we
all
know,
have
been
met.
According
to
the
parking
municipal
code,
however,
we
are
offering
to
provide
an
additional
parking
plan
to
prevent
jaywalking
across
south
palm
canyon.
We
would
like
to
discuss
condition
pln
17
a
little
bit
further,
if
possible.
Later
on.
Also,
if
you're
aware,
we
had
an
acoustical
report
prepared,
as
well
as
a
peer
review
by
a
third
party,
both
reports
concluded
that
the
appropriate
interior,
sound
mitigations
in
place
fuego
would
be
able
to
comply
with
the
city's
noise
requirements.
O
O
You
we
want
to
ensure
that
our
security
staff
will
be
trained
properly
and
effectively
in
order
to
implement
the
approved
security
plan
that
the
police
department
has
already
provided
us
with
that
we
can
fine-tune
it
and
add
anything
that
needs
to
be
added
just
so
we
can
make
sure
everyone
is
safe.
That
is
the
number
one
priority
here.
O
O
O
O
Since
september,
we
have
become
heavily
invested
and
worked
really
hard
to
provide
in
great
detail
what
the
city
has
asked
of
us
and
required,
including
going
above
and
beyond,
and
what
similar
applicants
have
done.
For
example,
purchasing
a
liquor
license
obtaining
an
approved
security
plan
prior
to
a
cup
being
approved.
Why?
Because
we
want
to
do
things
by
the
book,
we
want
to
be
as
transparent
as
possible.
O
O
We
as
palm
springs.
Excuse
me.
We
as
pspc
enterprises,
vow
to
work
with
the
city,
the
police
department,
its
officials
and
the
neighborhood
to
stay
compliant
while
being
this
while
bringing
this
upscale
nightlife
and
entertainment
to
palm
springs.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
we
hope
that
you
consider
our
approval.
A
I
I
I
think
what
we've
asked
almost
any
other
club,
at
least
in
my
knowledge,
in
in
the
city
of
palm
springs,
but
one
of
the
things
is:
would
you
be
willing
to
put
signs
up
that
that
say
something
that
is
approved
by
staff
and
of
a
right
size
and
a
right
lettering?
That's
compliant
with
you,
know,
ada,
and
all
that
basically
saying
quiet
for
the
neighbors.
I
O
I
I
For
the
pedestrian
crosswalk,
you
know
they
have
three
months.
I
think
to
do
the
parking
plan,
according
to
the
conditions
that
you
put
in
here,
but
then
they
have
six
months
was
only
three
months
after
the
parking
plan
is
approved
to
look
at
the
crosswalk.
That
seems
a
little
unrealistic.
It
seems
like
you'd,
want
a
little
more
time
to
evaluate
whether
that
parking
plan
was
working
and
you
might
want
to
do
tweaks
to
a
parking
plan.
If
this
were
approved.
Is
there
any
problem?
R
Yeah
sure,
certainly
so
I
think
our
city
engineer
was
the
one
who
made
the
recommendation
that
you
know.
Certainly
we
need
to
do.
There's
there's
a
period
of
time
that
we
have
to
evaluate
this.
You
know
the
warrants
for
a
crosswalk,
so
I
think
it
was
really
based
on
that
and
based
on
the
the
fact
that,
in
our
conditions,
we
have
a
six
month
review
with
the
planning
commission.
R
I
So
their
parking
plan-
you
know
if
this
were
to
be
approved,
the
parking
plan
doesn't
go
into
effect
for
maybe
three
months.
We
can
accelerate
that
if
you
know
if
you
can
work
with
them,
they're
willing,
but
that
only
gives
you
three
months
of
evaluation
for
a
crosstalk.
That
seems
very
short
to
me,
because
you
may
be
able
to
make
tweaks
to
the
parking
plan
that
could
basically
say
that
it's
not
warranted
right,
so
I'm
just
if,
if
this
gets
approved,
I
might
make
a
suggestion
that
we
give
them
a
little
more
time.
I
F
So
one
of
the
things
I
understand
how
the
planning
commission
voted-
and
you
know
they
found
it's
not
desirable
for
the
community,
although
this
is
zoned
for
this
right,
and
so
I'm
not
sure
I'm
in
agreement
on
that
part.
But
I
am
very
concerned,
unlike
other
nightclubs,
we've
seen,
that
this
abuts
an
apartment
building
and
so
because
I
think
there
are
ways
to
deal
with
parking.
F
I
think
there
are
ways
to
deal
with
figuring
out
how
we
deal
with
noise.
When
people
leave
businesses
right,
it
happens
on
arenas
other
places
and-
and
I
think
you
know
one
of
the
benefits
of
living
near
downtown
right-
is
you
have
all
this
near
you
and
it's
going
to
come
with
some
noise,
but
it's
different
if
it's
against
your
wall,
and
so
that's
where
that
for
me,
that
is
the
hardest
finding
here
to
make.
R
Certainly
so
you
know
we,
you
know
typically,
when
we're
looking
at
these
these
types
of
these
venues,
we
we
certainly
rely
on
our
noise
experts
and
the
studies
that
they
prepare,
and
so,
in
this
case
we
did
have
the
applicant
prepare
the
study.
We
had
our
own
consultant
peer
review
that
study
and
make
additional
recommendations.
F
And
then
for
noise,
when
people
are
leaving
right,
I
mean
you're
talking
over
300
people
at
the
bank.
You
had
185
max,
which
other
than
maybe
once
or
twice,
I
don't
think
ever
happened
and
wasn't
used
that
frequently
and
now
you
know
we
got
today
some
of
those
complaints.
How
do
you
envision?
Maybe
this
is
better
for
captain
kovalov,
300,
plus
people
leaving
a
facility
are
going
to
be
quiet.
M
A
great
question
council
member
course:
first
off,
there's
not
many
businesses
that
would
gather
that
amount
of
clients
on
a
nightly
basis,
so
that
would
be
rare
and
working
with
the
applicants.
So
far
has
been
a
joy
and
it's
the
the
communication
has
been
great.
I
don't
see
it
being.
Okay,
there's
no
way
to
control
that
noise,
and
you
know
chief
mills
and
I
went
out
to
those
areas.
We
walked
that
property.
M
I
You
know
I
built
a
career
on
this
type
of
issue
where
you
have
a
nightclub
right
adjacent
to
residential
and
it's
not
uncommon.
It
is
a
very
common
thing
in
an
urban
environment,
especially
when
you
write
right
basically
in
the
downtown
environment
which
this
is
and
actually
the
noise.
In
my
experience-
and
I
trust
your
experience
as
well-
really
was
not
about
the
patrons.
If
you
come
up
with
a
good
parking
plan
and
everything
else
which
can
be
amended,
it
was
really
more
about
dumping,
the
trash
bottles.
I
You
know
as
they
cleaned
up
in
the
middle
of
the
night,
that
bothered
the
neighbors
much
more
than
the
people
walking
to
their
cars,
and
I
think
if
this
were
to
be
approved,
we
need
to
add
something
about
that
more
than
anything
because
that's
you
know
after
they've
gone
home,
you
know
people
have
cleared
out
and
people
don't
all
leave
at
two
in
the
morning.
You
know
that
that
doesn't
happen
and
I
highly
doubt
they're
going
to
have
300
people.
I
You
can't
even
get
that
many
people
at
a
club
in
los
angeles,
without
huge
promotions
and
free
drinks
and
discounts,
I
mean
it
would
take
a
rocket
science
to
get
300
people
in
here.
At
that
time
you
know
at
one
time
all
leaving
at
two
in
the
morning.
I
just
my
experience
says
that's
not
going
to
happen.
I
could
be
wrong,
but
we
put
protections
in
place
for
that.
So
I
would
say
if
we
move
forward
with
this,
I
would
ask
for
the
noise
about
the
bottles
and
the
dumping,
and
all
that
be
added.
I
I
would
ask
that
we
add
a
condition
about
signage,
that
we
add
a
condition
about
a
phone
that
the
neighbors
have
a
direct
phone
access
to
them,
as
well
as
to
the
police
department.
We
clean
up
the
security
plan
to
be
much
stronger
than
what
it
is.
I
would
also
ask
the
city
attorney
on
page
2b-33,
there's
a
list
of
things
about
if
the
business
is
sold,
because
we
know
this,
the
conditional
use
permit
runs
with
the
business.
I
So
a
new
operator
may
not
be
so
good,
and
I
understand
that
this
security
plan
is
part
of
the
conditions
of
approval,
but
it
seems
the
end
part
of
that.
If
they
sell
the
business
should
actually
be
moved
to
the
conditions
of
approval
to
be
much
stronger
than
just
in
the
security
plan,
because
the
security
plan
can
be
changed
at
any
time.
I
So
I
just
any
any
bar
nightclub
is
going
to
create
some
sort
of
a
nuisance
at
time
at
night
and
we've
had
some
bad
experiences
and
we
continue
to
have
bad
experiences
in
the
city
of
palm
springs
partially,
because
we
didn't
issue
a
cup
on
that
and
we
didn't
give
them
strict
operating
conditions.
We're
doing
the
opposite
here
by
adding
those
really
strict
conditions.
So
I'm
just
adding
if
the
council
agrees
to
add
those
extra
conditions
and
move
that
section
that
to
make
our
conditions
stronger
than
they
currently
are.
Thank
you.
Madame.
A
Let
me
add
some
comments
and,
and
I'm
going
to
keep
them
fairly
short.
I
as
well
have
been
incredibly
impr
impressed
with
the
thoughtfulness
of
the
applicant
and
what
it
is
that
she
and
her
organization
are
trying
to
do,
and
we
want
individuals
like
like
her
to
be
investing
in
our
city,
I'm
frustrated
by
a
process
that
causes
that
leaves
people
in
a
position
where
they're
making
significant
investments,
not
knowing
what
the
outcome
is
going
to
be
for
those
investments.
A
And
but
what
was
known
was
that
this
would
require
a
conditional
use
permit
and
that's
a
process
that
always
incorporates
risk,
because
the
city
can
or
cannot
approve
those
conditional
use
permits.
And
if
I
recall
correctly,
the
planning
commission
unanimously
concluded
that
this
was
the
wrong
location
and
that
they
could
not
make
the
findings.
A
A
There
is
not
a
single
business
surrounding
this
location
that
has
come
and
testified
in
favor
of
having
this
type
of
business
in
in
their
business
community,
and
I
have
spoken
with
many
of
the
neighboring
businesses
and
they
are
not
going
to
be
supportive
of
this.
So
I'm
not
going
to
be
able
to
support
the
appeal,
but
I
think
it's
we
need
to
hear
from
all
of
our
colleagues.
I
I
R
I
F
I
think
that
this
is
sort
of
such
a
broad,
broader
conversation
right.
We
want
and
we're
zoned
for
nightclubs
downtown
and
I
and
where
and
while
I
think
I
agree
with
you,
maybe
where
we,
where
we
get
to
I'm
still,
I'm
totally
not
sure.
But
I
do
disagree
that
we
don't
want
these
kind
of
businesses
in
our
downtown,
because
we
have
residences
everywhere
right
near
our
downtown
right,
and
I
mean
I
hear
this
in
my
neighborhood.
So
I
know
this.
F
F
I'm
sorry
go
ahead
yeah,
so
I
really
want
to
limit
the
issue
here,
at
least
from
my
perspective,
because
we
all
none
of
us
objected
to
that
and
that's
as
close
to
the
residential
neighborhood,
it's
closer
to
some
of
the
hotels,
a
block
away,
that's
part
of
being
near
downtown
right.
I
mean,
I
think
some
of
the
people
move
to
downtown.
They
stay
in
hotels,
that's
walk
from
downtown
hotels,
advertise
that
they're
a
block
from
downtown
and
everything
that
is
downtown.
F
So
I
don't
want
that
to
be
the
message
that
we
don't
want
that
my
problem
is
being
able
to
make
the
finding
that
this
is
not
going
to
be
detrimental
to
that
apartment.
Building
and
yes,
I
agree:
they're
not
going
to
be
300
somewhat
people
every
night,
but
50
people
leaving
at
the
same
time
at
night
is
going
to
make
noise
and
if
you're
walking
a
block,
people
are
dispersing
right,
so
even
the
apartment
building
right
across
in
celia
from
arenas.
F
We
don't
hear
lots
of
complaints
when
a
lot
of
people
are
leaving
because
people
are
dispersing,
but
it's
people
standing
out
there
all
at
once
that
make
it
hard
for
me
to
make
that
finding.
So
I
just
want
to
be
clear:
I'm
not
against
nightclubs
in
that
area.
I'm
just
having
trouble,
because
that
apartment
building
is
exactly
where
it
is
and
that's
that's
the
challenge
and
we
look
at
the
prior
use,
so
it
wasn't
used
very
much
at
those
hours
right.
It
was
an
event
space.
They
had
some
weddings.
F
A
A
A
B
C
If
I
know
mayor
middleton
is
the
is
the
vice
chair
of
this
online
commissioners,
and
I
would
like
to
ask
if
the
city
council
would
discuss
and
study
a
bus
line
that
would
go
from
the
amtrak
station
down
in
palm
springs
to
west
buddy
rogers
in
cathedral
city.
I
did
talk
with
cathedral
city
city
council
about
it
already,
and
so
now
I'm
asking
palm
springs
if
they
would
study
that.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.
A
G
Matter,
mainly
council,
we
talked
about
this
a
little
bit
earlier
as
part
of
the
budget
process,
but
staff
is
proposing
that
we
undertake
a
review
of
staffing
and
services
at
the
police
department.
This
flows,
at
least
in
part,
from
council's
strategic
priorities,
to
reduce
crime
and
and
really
ties
even
into
better
managing
our
homeless
situation.
So
what
we
are
proposing
is
to
bring
on
a
consultant
that
would
look
at
a
couple
of
things.
First,
review
calls
for
service
and
just
understand
kind
of
the
nature
of
those
calls.
G
How
many
of
those
are
really
you
know
what
kind
of
staffing
do
we
need
to
make
sure
we
have
good
round-the-clock
coverage,
but,
additionally,
we
want
to
look
at
what
kinds
of
services
should
be
provided
by
traditional
sworn
officers
and
what
kinds
of
opportunities
do
we
have
to
diversify?
The
team
to
include
other
specialists,
essentially
or
even
generalists,
that
might
be
able
to
provide
a
different
level
of
service,
but
but
also
through
police
response.
G
So
a
classic
example
is
mental
health
practitioners
that
if
we
get
calls
for
service
involving
individuals
that
appear
to
be
mentally
ill,
that
we
could
send
somebody
that
would
be
more
equipped
to
deal
specifically
with
those
issues
likely
still
integrated
somehow
with
a
police
response,
so
that
we've
got
safety
top
of
mind.
And
things
like
that.
So
this
likely
would
not
require
authorization
from
council
from
a
procurement
standpoint
a
dollar
threshold.
But
we
thought
it
was
appropriate
to
bring
the
scope
of
work
to
council.
G
So
you
had
an
opportunity
to
input
on
that,
and
then
I
just
want
to
add
that,
along
with
putting
this
together,
we
have
come.
Staff
has
come
to
learn
and
clarify
that
the
council
had
also
back
or
sometime
around
2020,
discussed
the
idea
of
moving
forward
with
a
review
of
policies
and
practices.
So
I
do
think
this
scope
of
work
touches
on
that
conversation,
in
that
it
might
look
at
some
non-traditional
ways
to
respond
to
calls
for
service,
and
that,
of
course,
would
touch
on
certain
practices
and
policies.
G
But
we
think
that
it
would
take
a
separate
scope
of
work
and
a
different
consultant
to
have
a
deeper
dive
on
those
kinds
of
practices
that
wouldn't
just
involve
a
review
of
staffing,
but
might
look
at
traditional
things
like
use
of
force,
pursuit
policies
and
the
like.
So
we're
not
suggesting
that
this
study
satisfies
both.
G
This
study
would
get
us
started
with
a
staffing
review
and
touch
on
some
of
those
policies
and
practices,
and
we
would
propose
a
follow-up
process
likely
with
a
different
consultant
and
a
different
scope
of
work
to
fulfill
the
council
direction
to
have
a
deeper
review
on
policies
and
practices.
So
with
that,
I'm
here
and
also
captain
kovalev
who
can
help
answer
more
detailed
questions
on
the
scope
of
services.
G
Yes,
that's
accurate,
so
in
particular
I
went
to
chief
mills
early
in
his
tenure
and
explained
that,
based
on
council
priorities
that
you
know
something
like
this
would
be
needed.
He
was
really
tasked
with
authoring
the
scope
of
work
based
on
his
knowledge
and
the
rest
of
the
team,
I'm
sure
on
the
kinds
of
consultants
that
provide
this
kind
of
service.
So
I'm
very
much
driven
by
the
police
department
right.
A
M
Exactly
that's
been
in
all
part
of
the
game
plan.
Since
chief
mills
came
on
board
in
december,
we
met
with
the
various
neighborhoods,
the
districts,
the
business
communities
and
that's
what
we
wanted
to
piggyback
on
with
this
as
well,
because
ultimately
they're
the
ones
that
are
receiving
our
services,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
their
needs
are
met.
F
I
Thank
you.
You
know
looking
at
the
scope
of
work,
it's
not
as
robust
as
the
verbal
description
you
just
gave
us
it's
very
generic.
So
if
we
wanted
to
look
at
alterna,
if
we
wanted
to
look
at
possibly
using
non-sworn
personnel,
for,
I
think
homeless,
outreach
or
you
know
those
type
of
disturbances.
I
think
we
heard
some
tonight
that's
happening
in
arenas.
It
doesn't
seem
to
say
that
that's
what
we
want
them
to
look
at.
I
It's
somebody
who,
I
think
is
more
progressive
in
looking
at
a
police
department
and
how
we
can
effectively
use
our
officers.
I
think
we've
heard
over
and
over
from
the
police
department
that
using
sworn
personnel
for
some
of
the
nuance
nuisances
that
we
deal
with
is
not
effective
and-
and
we
may
find
a
better
effective
way
to
do
that,
and
I
think
that
our
proposal
should
say
that
that's
kind
of
we're
looking
for
that
kind
of
effectiveness.
It
focuses
on
neighborhood
policing,
which
is
a
different
type
of
policing.
D
D
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
mayor
middleton
and
I
did
interview
like
I
said
before-
a
few
different
groups
regarding
policy
decisions,
and
so
I
think,
and
we
I
believe
that
we
did
make
a
decision
on
which
group
we
wanted
to
move
forward
with.
So
if
we
can
unearth
that
information
and
see
if
that
still
works
for
us
or
not,
I
think
that
would
be
helpful
in
terms
of
moving
forward
on
that
piece.
A
I
could
add
the
additional
comment:
we've
done
a
lot
of
work
in
the
last
few
years
to
try
to
make
our
streets
safer
and
reduce
speeds,
and
none
of
that
happens
without
really
boring
old-fashioned
traffic
enforcement.
So
I
am
hopeful
that
we
also
in
the
course
of
this
study,
look
at
something
that
is
truly
needed
in
many
parts
of
our
city.
A
K
In
terms
of
our
previous
discussion
on
june,
the
16th,
the
city
council,
was
in
general
agreement
with
the
modifications
to
the
agreement
itself,
as
well
as
the
proposed
rate
schedule,
with
the
reductions
that
were
proposed
by
palm
springs
disposal
service.
The
remaining
item
to
discuss
this
evening
is
relative
to
the
final
item
that
was
discussed
at
last.
The
last
meeting,
and
that
is
relative
to
could
the
city
of
palm
springs
establish
a
discount
program
for
low-income
customers.
K
K
There's
a
number
of
different
types
that
are
offered:
first
of
all
for
gas
and
electric
utilities
under
state
law,
there
are
references
to
the
care
program
and
the
fara
program
again
acronyms
that
we
use
in
government.
Please
don't
ask
me
what
those
stand
for
right
now.
I
don't
know
that
I'd
be
able
to
pull
those
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
essentially
those
are
programs
that
provide
discounts
on
the
electricity
bills
and
gas
bills
for
low
income
customers,
which
range
anywhere
from
20
to
up
to
35
percent
and
I'll.
K
Go
into
that
in
a
little
more
detail
later
in
terms
of
discounts
for
water
bills,
dwa
desert
water
agency,
our
local
provider
here
does
offer
two
programs
to
low-income
customers.
One
is
called
the
help
to
others
program
which
is
done
in
partnership
with
united
way.
The
second
is
the
low
income
household
water
assistance
program.
I
was
able
to
spell
that
one
out
which
is
also
offered
to
customers.
K
K
Our
solid
waste
consultant
sloan
vasquez-mcafee
is
aware
of
four
programs
that
are
offered
in
southern
california
by
other
jurisdictions.
However,
they
are
only
offered
to
seniors,
and
so
those
are
the
only
that
programs
that
we're
aware
of
that
offer
discounts
for
solid
waste
and
then
relative
to
sewer.
We
aren't
aware
of
any
discounts
that
are
offered
to
low-income
customers
for
sewer
service,
not
here
in
the
valley,
nor
elsewhere
in
terms
of
discount
programs.
K
I
don't
think
so
in
terms
of
how
to
fund.
Thankfully
palm
springs
disposal
service
has
offered
to
contribute
25
000
annually
to
some
type
of
a
discount
program
that
the
city
may
sponsor
in
terms
of
that
fee,
keep
in
mind
that
they've
already
reduced
their
rates,
and
so
that
has
reduced
their
profit
margin
and
that
limits
what
they
can
contribute
to
such
a
program.
K
K
Also
in
terms
of
determining
exactly
what
that
funding
should
be.
We
need
to
understand
the
number
of
customers
that
would
be
eligible
for
that
program.
We
also
need
to
take
into
consideration
the
percentage
of
discount
and
eligibility
requirements,
because
that
also
determines
the
number
of
customers
that
may
be
participating
in
the
program.
K
They
offer
that
at
an
18
discount
across
the
board
and
then
finally,
the
solid
waste
discount
programs.
Again,
there's
only
four
that
we're
aware
of-
and
these
were
offered
to
seniors
those
discounts
range
from
10
to
20
percent.
Generally,
there
are
some
restrictions
on
those
programs
in
that
they
limit
their
customers
to
a
smaller
waste
bin
than
standard
family,
sized
waste
bins,
and
so
there
are
some
restrictions
to
that
program.
K
That
means
the
household
income
would
be
about
fifty
four
thousand
dollars,
and
so
that's
up
to
that
amount.
Those
individuals,
those
families
would
qualify
for
the
program
with
a
family
of
four.
The
pharah
program
is
based
on
household
size
as
well.
It
doesn't
offer
it
to
one
or
two
person-
households.
It
only
applies
to
three
or
more,
but
it
has
a
higher
limit
of
between
200
and
250
percent.
K
As
a
point
of
comparison,
our
housing
programs
are
based
on
area
median
income
instead
of
federal
poverty
level,
and
so
that's
another
thing
that
we
could
look
at.
However,
what
I
would
recommend
to
council,
if
you
want
to
do
a
discount
program,
I
would
suggest
that
we
use
the
same
type
of
guidelines
as
the
care
program
or
the
fara
program
in
terms
of
using
the
federal
poverty
level,
in
that
there
is
some
adaptability
of
those
qualifications
and
eligibility
requirements
that
may
make
it
easier
for
us
to
administer
the
program.
K
Speaking
of
administration
of
the
program.
One
of
the
things
that
we
also
need
to
take
into
consideration
is
the
palm
springs.
Disposal
service
does
not
have
the
staffing
really
to
administer
the
program
to
review
applications
and
income
qualifications,
and
so,
if
we
want
to
do
a
program,
it
would
really
fall
upon
city
staff
to
administer
that,
and
while
we
have
allocated
for
additional
positions
in
sustainability,
they
would
be
the
most
likely
department
to
administer
this
program,
as
they
are
also
responsible
for
the
franchise
agreement
itself.
K
Another
thing
that
we
have
learned
through
doing
the
research
on
this
is
that
those
programs
typically
require
applicants
to
be
recertified
every
year,
and
so
this
would
be
an
ongoing
thing
that
we
would
need
to
do.
One
of
the
things
I
forgot
to
mention.
Just
let
me
go
backwards-
is
talking
about
how
much
to
fund
this
program
trying
to
figure
out
how
many
applicants
we
would
have
and
is
25
000
going
to
be
enough
from
just
doing
some
basic
math.
It
doesn't
look
like
it
would.
K
However,
it's
really
hard
to
put
an
estimate
on
what
that
number
of
customers
is
looking
at
our
housing
element
in
terms
of
the
number
of
low-income
households
there's
a
number
in
there
of
approximately
4
200
households,
but
we
can't
really
use
that
as
a
basis.
There
are
other
factors
that
limits
that
number
further.
K
If
we
look
at
the
number
of
delinquent
accounts
that
palm
springs
disposal
has
every
year,
that
number
is
about
five
to
six
hundred
customers.
Is
that
the
number?
Well?
No,
not
really,
because
some
of
those
are
commercial
customers,
and
I
don't
think
that
really
estimates
it
as
well.
So
there's
some
additional
work.
We
would
need
to
do
to
really
estimate
how
many
customers
would
be
eligible
for
the
discount.
There
are
things
that
affect
that,
such
as
again
as
I've
mentioned
the
percentage
of
the
discount
and
other
eligibility
requirements.
K
So
with
that,
that
concludes
my
presentation
to
you
and
I'm
happy
to
take
your
questions
at
this
time.
I
will
say
that
we
should
have
joanna
ginn
from
bbk.
Our
city
attorney
support,
firm
and
enrique
vasquez,
our
solid
waste
consultant
to
answer
any
questions
if
we
need
to
bring
them
in
and
then
we
also
have
mr
cunningham
and
bob
kuznick
from
palm
springs
disposal
service
here
to
answer
questions
as
well.
So
with
that,
madam
mayor
I'll
turn
that
back
to
you
right.
F
So
desert
community
energy
might
be
a
good
source
for
the
numbers
right
because
they
serve
most
residents
in
palm
springs
and
there
are
six
thousand
carefara
customers
in
palm
springs.
So
that
should
give
us
a
good
sense
of
the
number
and
we
can
get
a
more
exact
number.
You
know
for
the
whole
for
everyone
in
palm
springs,
since
there
is
some
percentage
still
with
southern
california
edison,
but
that's
overnight,
that's
probably
90,
plus
percent,
so
just
a
sense
of
the
volume.
D
Thank
you
mayor.
I
really
appreciate
the
work
that
was
done
on
this.
I
thought
the
staff
report
was
very
clear
it.
It
doesn't
seem
like.
We
have
very
good
options.
Unfortunately,
because
this
is
new,
and
I
really
I
I
did
notice
that
cap
has
their
program
with.
I
think
it
was
the
water
agency
to
provide
some
subsidies
yeah
some
bill
credits
there.
D
So
it's
just
a
kind
of
a
big
bump
for
residents
that
they're
not
used
to
so,
I
think,
being
able
to
give
people
some
time
to
figure
out
how
they're
going
to
move
forward
in
this
is
is
really
helpful.
So
I
I
think,
I'm
I'm
okay
with
moving
forward
with
our
franchise
agreement,
while
we're
still
figuring
out
how
we
can
best
support
our
low-income
residents,
because
this
doesn't
seem
like
something
that
we
can
just
just
implement
right
now.
A
As
we
perhaps
look
at
some
other
options
down
the
road,
and
my
vision
of
that
is
just
simply
that
palm
springs
disposal
has
an
account
of
25k
that
they
can
use
during
the
course
of
the
year
and
as
individuals
get
into
default
status
for
a
first
time
that
we
give
them
a
credit
from
that.
For
that
first
time,
council
member,
of
course,.
F
Yeah,
I
think
that's
a
good
first
thing
to
think
about,
so
I
know
with
the
utilities,
with
dc
se,
with
delinquent
accounts,
there
was
funding,
put
aside
for
people
to
get
on
payment
plan,
so
they
got
a
little
discount
if
they
stuck
to
a
payment
plan,
and
so
I
don't
know
mr
cunningham,
I
don't
know
what
you
currently
do
with
those
delinquent
accounts.
Maybe
you
could
share.
Would
that
be
a
helpful
thing
and
thank
you
for
agreeing
to
the
25
000,
and
would
this
be
a
good?
F
R
B
R
B
A
B
A
I
B
I
I
Your
approach
on
that,
okay-
you
know-
I
I
would
I
I
just
have
a
suggestion.
I
want
to
thank
you
very
much,
for
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
a
great
report.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
looking
at
it
at
the
request
of
council,
I'm
wondering
if
we
can't
do
it
the
same
way
that
we
do
with
water,
where
we
give
the
25
000
to
a
third
party
to
administer.
A
K
Madam
mayor,
to
respond
to
that,
what
I
would
recommend
is
that
we
pursue
that
for
additional
study
and
then
come
back
to
you
in
september.
At
the
public
hearing
for
approval
of
the
franchise
agreement
and
the
rate
structure
working
with
our
attorney
in
palm
springs
disposal
service
to
develop
that
program.
For
you.
C
O
I
If
I,
if
I
could
make
a
comment,
certainly
for
anyone
listening,
I'm
trying
to
look
it
up
on
the
internet
very
quickly,
but
for
those
who
are
struggling
out
there,
there
is
a
relatively
new
program
to
get
a
discount
of.
I
believe
it's
30,
if
you're
a
low
income
on
your
internet-
and
I
will
ask
staff
to
look
into
what
that
program
is,
and
maybe
that
can
be
put
on
our
sustainability
page
so
that
people
can
actually
apply
for
that.
I
A
E
E
This
proposed
amendment
to
the
city's
public
integrity
ordinance
exempts
these
aforementioned
city
officials
from
recusal
when
the
primary
purpose
of
the
nonprofit
supports
the
functions
of
a
city,
body
or
board,
or
when
the
city
body
or
board,
has
a
legal
obligation
to
give
a
particular
consideration,
and
I
will
note
that
this
clarification
is
consistent
and
more
closely
aligns
with
the
recusal
requirements
under
state
law,
and
with
that
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank
you
all
right.
D
E
Sure
so,
for
example,
the
palm
springs
plaza
theater
foundation
has
is
a
non-profit
that
has
three
city
commissioners
on
that
nonprofit
and
that
that
nonprofit
does
a
lot
of
business
and
interacts
and
communicates
with
not
only
city
employees
but
city
officials
as
well,
and
to
the
extent
that
that
nonprofit
has
any
business
before
a
commission.
Those
commissioners
would
have
to
exempt
themselves
from
any
decisions,
and
so
the
requirement
is
still
you
have
to
disclose.
The
fact
that
you
are
you,
you
are
a
board
member
of
the
non-profit,
but
it
doesn't
require
recusal.
F
So
sort
of
this
change-
and
actually
one
of
the
examples,
is
exactly
why
we
passed
this
law,
so
we're
not
following
state
law
on
this.
I
know
you
weren't
here
then,
but
we
spent
a
year
with
a
government
reform
ethics,
transparency
task
force,
and
this
was
one
of
the
recommendations
and
the
example
that
came
up
often
in
that
was
exactly
the
one
here,
which
is
historic,
site
preservation
board.
F
So
the
preservation
foundation,
which
has
amazing
work,
they
write
most
of
the
proposals,
they're,
not
the
applicant,
it's
the
homeowner
or
property
owner.
Sometimes
you
had.
The
majority
of
them
have
already
made
a
decision
before
it
goes
to
a
quasi-judicial
entity
to
make
a
impartial
decision
and
they've
already
taken
a
position
on
it.
F
F
So
I
think
it
could
be
written
in
a
way,
that's
much
narrower
than
the
1090
section
that
we
were
trying
to
say.
We
didn't
want
to
follow
if
that
makes
sense,
because
I
think
that's
the
distinction,
even
with
the
animal
shelter,
you
know,
that's
a
city
facility,
and
so
you
know,
I
still
think
it's
a
little
weird
if
they're
voting
on
it,
but
I
think
they
should
be
able
to
advocate
right.
So
I
don't.
You
know,
I
think,
that's
a
distinction
right.
F
If
someone's
on
the
plaza
theater
board,
they
should
be
able
to
say
to
the
city.
You
know
we're
advocating
for
this
funding
because
you
asked
us
to
do
funding,
but
if
it's
coming
to
their
commission
they
should
not
be
voting
right.
They
should
and
state
law
they
probably
could
vote
on
that.
So
just
thinking
out
loud
and
you
know
I've
thought
about,
I
think
it's
if
it's
fundraising
for
a
city
facility
they
should
be
able
to
advocate,
although
they
should
recuse
themselves
from
the
vote.
F
F
F
E
Sure,
I
think
either
option
works
right.
This
is
going
above
and
beyond
the
state
requirements,
so
it
sounds
like
council
member
cores.
You
want
to
make
a
distinction
with
the
language
that
says
the
primary
purpose
of
the
nonprofit,
and
perhaps
there
instead
of
saying
the
primary
purpose
of
the
nonprofit
supports
the
functions
of
the
city.
E
I
F
F
I
Let's
take
the
library
they
they
they
came,
they
could,
but
that
you're
saying
they
can't
even
come
to
the
diocese
and
and
and
make
a
case
for
funding
for
the
library
I
mean
I
understand
that
they
can't
be
voted.
They
can't
be
voting,
but
what
does
advocate
mean?
Let
me
let
me
ask
that
to
what
degree
I
would
think
that
anybody
could
come
to
the
mic
and
advocate.
E
Yeah
so,
under
the
current
ordinance,
we've
defined
advocating
a
particular
result
or
outcome
with
respect
to
an
application
to
mean
influencing,
encouraging
or
attempting
to
influence
or
encourage
any
other
individual
official
to
vote
or
be
more
disposed
to
vote
in
a
particular
manner.
With
respect
to
such
matter.
I
F
A
So
I
think
this
is
one
that
may
need
to
come
back
to
us,
but
we're
trying
to
do
something
very
good,
we're
trying
to
make
sure
that
everyone
discloses
what
they're
involved
in.
But
we've
got
a
number
of
individuals
who
have
taken
leadership
positions
in
the
city
who
serve
on
our
boards
and
commissions
and
are
also
helping
us
to
raise
money
for
really
important
causes,
such
as
the
library,
the
plaza
theater,
the
animal
shelter
and
I'm
probably
forgetting
something.
We
do
not
want
to
penalize
people
for
doing
good
work.
F
I
wouldn't
quite
say
we're
penalizing
someone
because
yeah
they're,
the
problem
is
that
they're
considered
to
have
more
access
than
other
folks
right,
but
I
think
if
it's
for
a
city
facility,
that's
a
little
different
or
a
city
created
organization
like
1ps,
we
already
talked,
I
think
from
the
start
right.
You
were
able
to
work
on
the
nusa
conference,
even
though
you're
on
the
board
is
different
from
some
right.
Because
look,
we
fund
a
lot
of
nonprofits
and
our
state
law.
L
Yes,
I'm
gonna
make
a
motion
to
continue
this
to
a
date
uncertain
when
jeff
ballinger
is
here
and
we
can
discuss
it
more
in
depth.
I
mean
I
have
some
questions
and
comments
about
this
ordinance
like
what
is
the
problem
that
it's
solving
for.
I
agree
with
all
of
council
member
core's
comments
that
some
of
this
we
very
much
did
want
to
go
broader
than
state
law,
and
some
of
the
examples
in
the
staff
report
are
conflicts
for
me
and
not
problematic
in
the
way
that
the
staff
report
makes
them.
F
B
Could
I
offer
a
comment?
Yes,
you
may
yes
in
administering
these
programs
as
the
city
clerk,
it's
really
challenging,
trying
to
explain
to
all
of
the
commissions
these
rules
and,
as
you
were,
pointing
out
a
lot
of
these
are
focused
on
the
quasi-judicial
boards
and
committees.
I
would
just
want
you
to
consider
whether
or
not
you
would
want
to
limit
some
of
these
rules
to
specific
boards
and
commissions
that
have
approval
authority
rather
than
all
of
the
boards
and
commissions.
That
then
have
to
try
to
understand
all
of
the
rules.
Yeah.
That's.
B
G
G
Thank
you,
mayor
and
council,
this
item,
as
well
as
the
next
one
on
the
pedestrian
master
plan,
are
slated
to
be
receive
and
file
oftentimes.
Those
would
only
be
included
on
your
consent
calendar.
We
placed
these
two
items
on
the
agenda
because
we
thought
there
would
be
enough
general
interest
that
we
at
least
wanted
to
describe
at
a
very
high
level
what
these
plans
are
and
how
they
function
so
really
and
it's
been
pushed
from
from
at
least
one
meeting
previously.
G
So
we
have
two
ways
we
can
do
this
tonight
on
both
of
these
items.
One
we
can
just
describe
the
basic
process
and
content
of
these
plans
so
that
you
understand
how
it
fits
into
overall
prioritization
and
funding
moving
forward
or
two.
We
do
have
powerpoints
brief,
powerpoint
slides,
where
we
can
discuss
in
a
little
more
detail
of
the
contents
of
the
plan
either
way.
It's
not
really
our
intent
to
get
into
you
know
specific
projects
unless
that's
what
council
would
like
to
do.
G
Okay,
that
said,
I'm
going
to
start
and
then
don
is
here
to
fill
in
some
blanks
if
we
need
so
the
local
roadway
safety
plan.
I
think
you're
aware
that
we
apply
for
funding
through
the
highway
safety
improvement
project
funding
cycle
on
a
regular
basis.
This
was,
at
least
in
part,
a
requirement
of
continued
funding
that
we
step
aside
and
do
some
planning
for
local
roadway
safety
improvements.
G
It
was
also
just
a
great
way
to
plan
and
prioritize,
because
what
this
includes
is
reaching
out
to
a
variety
of
stakeholders,
a
pretty
robust
engagement
and
really
identifying
where
we
have
problem
areas.
So
when
you
look
through
the
plan
which
is
provided
for
you
in
the
packet
of
materials,
you'll
see
pretty
extensive
analysis
on
the
location
of
accidents,
the
breakdown
of
the
nature
of
those
accidents,
how
many
were
fatalities?
How
many
were
fender
benders
the
cost
associated
just
really
rich
data
that
helps
us
understand,
roadway
safety
and
how
to
prioritize
projects
for
improvement.
G
So
from
a
very
big
picture.
That's
what
this
is
a
lot
of
engagement
and
outreach
and
a
lot
of
quantifiable
data
so
that
we
can
have
a
roadmap.
So,
to
speak,
pun
intended
to
identify
future
priority
projects
both
for
the
hsip
funding
and,
of
course,
for
other
sources
that
we
might
contribute
to
roadway
safety.
So
we
intend
to
bring
back
this
plan
often
as
we
discuss
priorities
as
we
apply
for
additional
funding
cycles
and
it
really
serves
as
our
master
plan
for
the
priorities
of
roadway
projects.
A
I
don't
have
any
questions.
I
do
have
a
comment:
I'd
like
to
encourage
involvement
with
1ps
and
reaching
out
to
the
neighborhoods
and
having
as
providing
as
many
opportunities
for
the
public
to
weigh
in
and
talk
about
specific
issues.
I
have
no
doubt
much
of
that
will
end
up
being
conversations
around
specific
issues
on
specific
streets
in
their
localities.
But
those
are
the
kind
of
conversations
people
want
to
have
and
I
will
volunteer
to
participate
in
any
of
those
that
where
it
would
be
helpful.
D
Thank
you.
I'm
also
very
happy
to
see
this
and
the
next
one
presented
to
us.
One
of
the
things
that
I
noticed
with
the
road
safety
plan
specifically
was
that
a
lot
of
these
their
recommendations
are
to
change
existing
signals,
and
I'm
just
curious
if
we
can
get
an
understanding
of
how
quickly
that
type
of
thing
can
be
done.
I
don't
is
that
something
that
is
done
by
computer.
That
can
be
done
quickly.
Q
Yeah,
so
to
answer
your
question
mayor
pro
tem,
these
projects
do
take
several
years
to
design.
Do
the
various
engineering
studies
as
well
as
the
construction
of
them.
Currently
the
city
has
cycle
seven
under
construction
which
improves
17
intersections
in
the
city.
We
have
cycle
8,
which
we
just
put
out
to
bid
and
that's
14
intersections
and
cycle
9.
We
have
about
10
intersections,
so
each
cycle
is
a
two
year
cycle.
So,
as
you
can
imagine,
it's
taken
a
considerable
amount
of
time.
Q
You
know
updating
all
the
technology,
that's
in
our
traffic
signals,
as
well
as
connecting
it
to
our
traffic
operations
center,
which
is
the
brains
of
the
the
intersections
with
traffic
signals.
So
it
does
take
a
considerable
amount
of
time,
but
the
city
has
gained
over
eight
million
dollars
worth
of
state
funding
amongst
those
three
projects,
which
is
really
incredible
for
a
city
of
our
size.
Q
D
Thank
you
so
much
for
clarifying
that.
I
think
that's
really
important,
because,
often
when
it
comes
to
traffic
signals
and
things
that
it
for
the
public,
it
seems
like.
Oh,
why
can't
this
just
be
done
right
away.
So
I
appreciate
you
letting
us
know
that
there's
so
many
more
steps
that
are
involved
in
making
these
changes.
I
think
that
that
helps
a
lot
thanks
for
sharing
that.
I
Don
we
have
the
I
want
to
thank
staff
very
much
for
bringing
in
outside
dollars
to
help
us.
I
think
that
is
incredible
and
I
think
you're
right
on
target
with
that
we
also
assigned
in
the
budget
we
just
passed
monies
to
do
to
implement
some
of
this.
Just
to
give
us
all
a
good
idea
on
the
this,
this
next
year's
budget.
What
will
those
monies
be
used
for?
You
know,
there's
a
bunch
of
recommendations
in
here.
Q
Yeah
so
for
the
first
year
we're
budgeting
about
500
000.
This
is
more
of
the
planning,
the
hiring
the
consultant
getting
the
project
started,
and
then,
in
years,
two
three
four
and
five
most
of
the
the
budget
is
over
a
million
dollars
to
construct
those
improvements.
This
local
road
safety
plan
does
recommend
ten
projects.
Four
will
improve
intersection.
Safety,
three
would
address
speed
management
and
three
projects
increases
the
safety
for
bicyclists
and
pedestrians.
Q
So,
amongst
those
ten
large
projects,
that's
in
our
five-year
capital
improvement
program,
the
funding
does
get
bigger
as
we
go
further
out,
but
the
first
year
we're
spending
about
half
a
million
dollars
to
get
the
consultants
on
board.
Do
the
engineering
studies
just
kick
off
the
process
and
then
that
will
likely
take
us
to
the
next
budget
cycle,
so
we'll
be
here
next
may
and
june,
hopefully
getting
ready
to
build
some
of
these.
I
I
Q
I
And
just
one
other
question,
thank
you
is.
I
don't
think
that
the
roundabout
that
we're
talking
about
where
palm
canyon
and
indian
canyon
meat
is
part
of
this,
so
that's
totally
going
to
be
a
separate
track.
That's
correct,
separate
funding
sources,
separate,
call
call
for
whatever
we,
however,
get
the
money.
Okay.
Thank
you.
A
G
If
you
don't
mind
I'll,
just
present
again
from
a
very
high
level
and
open
it
up
to
questions,
so
this
really
is
very
similar
to
the
roadway
safety
plan.
But
just
a
couple
of
relevant
details
number
one.
It
was
funded
by
the
southern
california
association
of
governments,
again,
a
lot
of
community
participation,
a
series
of
public
outreach
meetings
and
a
community
advisory
committee
were
used
in
this
case
again,
a
lot
of
collection
of
data
crash
information
etc.
G
There
are
37
recommended
as
a
result
of
this
analysis
and
they
vary
between
things
like
closing
gaps
in
sidewalks,
where
we
sometimes
hear
that
you
know
a
sidewalk
discontinues
and
then
resumes
on
a
another
parcel
traffic
signal
operations,
curb
extensions
crosswalks
and
those
kinds
of
things
meant
to
ensure
bike
and
ped
safety.
So
this
will
be
used
in
a
very
similar
way
to
not
only
drive
future
applications
for
funding,
but
when
the
use
of
discretionary
funding
is
involved,
just
a
way
to
help
us
understand
priorities.
I
Absolutely
so
you
know
we
had,
there
were
many.
This
is
the
obviously
many
citizens
participated
in
the
development
of
this
this
study
and
then
the
question
is
going
to
be
again.
You
know
how
quickly
and
I
see
skag
is
going
to
help
us
with
some
of
the
project
management
on
it.
But
how
quickly
can
we
see
some
of
these
projects
come
to
fruition?
These.
Q
Q
Obviously,
there
are
certain
districts
that
have
more
pedestrian
activity,
so
there's
more
projects
in
those
districts,
but
we
do
want
to
spread
them
out.
You
know
if
it's
a
simple
sidewalk
project.
Obviously
that's
easy
to
do.
If
it's,
you
know
like
bump
outs
and
different,
you
know.
The
other
thing
this
plan
does
is
give
us
a
toolbox
of
possible
treatments
that
we
can
use
for
pedestrians.
So,
even
if
your
project
wasn't
identified,
we
do
have
a
good
toolbox
to
draw
from.
Q
As
far
as
you
know,
making
our
city,
you
know,
making
the
pedestrian
experience
more,
improve
it
basically
for
our
city.
So
I
think
this
one
is
a
lot
easier
to
accomplish
and
we
did
plan
to
fund
this
at
a
high
level,
using
not
only
city
funds,
but
we
are
also
using
our
measure,
a
funds
that
we
get
from
the
county,
so
yeah,
so
we're
using
a
variety
of
funds,
as
well
as
committing
to
a
large
dollar
amount
to
do
these
projects.
I
And
oh
one
last
thing
is:
I
have
noticed
that
we,
I
assume
it's
the
city,
even
though
it's
outside
contractors
are
installing
handicap
ramps,
I'll
call
them
handicap
or
curbs
right
throughout
the
city,
but
I've
noticed
that
they
are
single
versus
directional
right,
and
I
think
that
the
new
way
of
being
is
that
they're
directional
and
I'm
curious
why
we're
kind
of
doing
an
old
style
which
is
not
as
pedestrian
safe.
As
doing
you
know
what
I'm
talking
about.
Q
That
project
that
you
are
currently
seeing
as
part
of
the
hsip
cycle,
seven,
which
is
the
traffic
signal
project
that
we
discussed
in
the
previous
item,
so
those
curb
ramps
are
changed
based
off
of
the
new
configuration,
the
new
striping,
that's
going
to
go
in
those
intersections,
but
as
far
as
direction
of
we,
I
mean
the
time
that
that
was
designed.
I
was
not
here
working
for
the
city,
but
I've
given
our
designers
that
direction
on
the
next
couple
of
projects
that
we've
done.
Q
You
know
I'm
just
knowing
its
success
at
other
cities
that
I've
worked
at,
but
we
did.
As
you
know,
the
corner
ramps
are
very
challenging
because
you
have
constraints
as
far
as
property
lines
you
have
to
meet
the
ada
and
then
also
those
little
push
button
poles,
the
auxiliary
extra
pole
that
you
need
to
have
it
a
certain
distance
from
the
crosswalk.
Q
So
when
we
do
the
dual
directional
ramps,
then
there
becomes
a
lot
of
clutter
and
then
also
we
have
a
lot
of
right-of-way
challenges
here
in
the
city
because
we
have
you
know
this
is
a
rather
mature
city,
as
opposed
to
some
of
the
newer
cities
and
in
the
coachella
valley.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
existing.
I
Q
A
G
Mayor
I'm
happy
to
put
on
screen
with
the
help
of
pstv
our
notes
for
upcoming
meetings,
we're
going
to
focus
on
july
with
august
being
a
dark
period.
Please
note,
july
14th
is
still
a
bit
of
a
sparse
agenda.
We
intend
to
add
a
couple
of
things
and
we
have
some
in
mind,
but
but
don't
have
them
on
the
screen
in
front
of
you
and
then
in
particular.
G
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
staff
is
proposing
july
18th
be
used
for
a
review
of
our
work
plans,
that's
kind
of
nice
in
that,
with
the
dark
period
in
august,
we
can
review
our
progress
to
date
on
the
approximate
four-month
work
plan
that
we
presented
to
you
back
sometime
in
march,
as
well
as
kind
of
looking
ahead
at
the
agenda.
This
is
a
also
a
unique
time
period
because
we're
starting
to
anticipate
the
approximate
four
months
leading
up
to
the
election,
and
maybe
just
a
little
beyond
that.
G
So
we'll
also
put
some
special
attention
to
the
items
that
we
think
are
ideal
to
try
and
complete.
While
we
have
the
current
seated
council,
it's
always
a
little
challenging.
You
know
we're
going
to
have
certain
items
that
certainly
span
the
election,
but
we
want
to
be
mindful
of
that
milestone
approaching
and
then.
G
Lastly,
we
do
intend,
with
this
round
of
work
planning
to
also
present
to
council
a
number
of
the
items
that
were
either
introduced
in
some
cases
years
ago,
but
not
finished,
or
some
of
the
other
ideas
that
have
come
up
over
the
course
of
council
meetings
more
recently,
so
that,
in
addition
to
pursuit
of
our
strategic
priorities,
we
have
a
way
to
check
in
with
some
of
those
items
that
we
may
choose
from
time
to
time
to
follow
up
on
or
close.
So
with
your
permission,
we
would
do
that
on.
The
18th.
A
Well
I'll
start,
I
would
like
to
see
us
have
it
a
short
discussion
at
the
july
14
meeting
on
the
issue
of
vacation
rentals
and
make
sure
that,
while
this
city
council
is
still
in
place,
given
all
of
the
work
that
we
have
already
done,
that
we're
able
to
complete,
as
before
this
council
departs
in
one
form
or
another,
that
we
complete
our
work
and
pass
whatever
new
ordinances.
We
are
going
to
pass
related
to
vacation
rental.
F
And
maybe
that's
just
sort
of
an
update
on
how
we
do
what
the
timeline
is
during
city
map.
You
know
that
you
can
provide,
as
opposed
to
an
agenda
item
on
vacation
rentals,
which
I
think
a
lot
of
people
would
be
confused
on
right,
because
we
we
did
that
study
session.
So
maybe
you
can
just
give
us
an
update
on
the
timeline
and
the
working
group
formation
and
that
kind
of
thing,
if
that's,
if.
G
A
D
D
I
think
that's
something
that
would
really
be
nice
to
get
on
the
agenda
and
kind
of
take
care
of
quickly.
I
don't
think
it's
going.
It
needs
to
be
a
very
controversial
topic
or
will
be,
and
I
think
that
goes
right
along
with
the
assisting
with
with
some
of
the
fees
or
waiving
some
of
the
fees.
We
really
have
a
serious
issue
with
not
enough
child
care.
There's
waiting
lists
at
every
single
place
in
palm
springs.
I
G
I
I
G
No,
that's
my
understanding
as
well.
Council
said
that
that
you,
at
the
time
of
that
request,
were
not
willing
to
allocate
funds
for
the
administration
of
the
program,
because
you
wanted
to
see
more
of
the
progress
research,
development
of
the
program,
clarification
on
some
of
the
grant
criteria,
fundraising
efforts
and
the
like,
before
making
a
decision
on
whether
or
not
to
support
the
administration
of
the
program.
So
they
potentially
feel
like
they're
ready
to
make
that
request.
G
But
again
that's
pending
having
a
meeting
with
those
groups
and
just
verifying
I
actually
went
back
and
re-watched
the
whole
conversation
to
make
sure
I
had
notes
on
what
council's
direction
was.
So
I
intend
to
also
sit
down
with
with
those
organizations
and
say
here
are
some
of
the
questions
that
I
anticipate
council
would
ask
and
just
make
sure
that
they
are
in
fact
ready
to
come
back
to
request
funding
to
administer
the
pilot
program
rather
than
the
funding
that's
been
provided
so
far
as
kind
of
the
due
diligence
phase.
I
G
I
G
G
No
but
but
I
think
I
think
the
organization
feels
like
they
have
done
a
lot
of
the
due
diligence
and
and
gotten
clarification
on
the
guidelines
that
would
be
used
for
a
state
application
and
are
prepared
to
come
back
to
council
to
discuss
the
potential
of
funding.
The
actual
administration
of
a
pilot
program
beyond
exhausting
the
funds
used
for
the
due
diligence
beyond
the
200.
L
Can
I
clarify
madam
mayor,
if
I
may
so
I
worked
on
this
closely
so
this.
If
you
remember
that
the
state
funding
is
a
matching
program,
it
requires
matching
funding,
and
so
the
applicant
is
applying
for
state
funding
and
up
to
two
million
dollars
in
state
funding.
Remember
there's
35
million
dollars
available
and
it
requires
a
match,
and
so
I
believe
it
was
council
member
coors's
request
of
the
applicant,
and
I
believe
we
talked
about
it
at
the
public
meeting
that
we
would.
L
I
know
that
queer
works
has
already
done
a
lot
of
work
to
meet
with
the
lieutenant
governor
and
lgbt
caucus,
and
so
many
more
in
sacramento
and
they've
had
conversations
with
internal
departments
about
what
the
rfp
will
look
like.
So
they've
done
a
lot
of
work.
I
mean
I,
I
think
that
you're
just
misunderstanding
council
member,
that
they
all
always
had
a
request,
or
at
least
a
requirement
to
find
some
matching
funds
from
some
agency
if
they
are
going
to
be
eligible
for
the
state
funding.
I
Okay,
great,
thank
you
for
that
clarification.
I
guess
what
I'm
wondering
is
if
to
me,
it
seems
like
that
should
have
been
part
of
the
budget
process
that
we
just
approved
and
I'm
curious
why
it
wasn't
part
of
the
budget
process,
because,
obviously,
if
they're
asking
for
additional
funding
we've
allocated
our
funding,
am
I
missing
the
point
again.
G
G
You
know
I
didn't
have
clarity
to
speculate
on
a
number
to
include
in
the
budget
and
we've
always
anticipated
that
there
would
be
certain
things
that
fall
outside
the
budget
process,
because
we
just
don't
know
them
yet
and
again,
even
this
july,
14th
date,
I
believe,
is
tentative
after
we
sit
down
and
kind
of
review
the
comments
from
the
council
meeting
and
see
that
this
is
really
the
date
that
they
want
to
to
target.
So
I
don't
know
for
sure
that
this
is
the
date.
G
L
If
I
can
add
just
it
was
included
as
a
potential
counsel
request
in
the
budget
discussion.
It
was
on
that
spreadsheet
as
one
of
the
items,
and
so
we
did
discuss
you
know
if
we
should
go
through
all
those
items
or
if
we
should,
you
know,
allocate
more
for
grants
and
sponsorships
or
we
should.
You
know
we
have
additional
funding
one-time
funding
in
the
budget
as
well.
So
we
believe
that
there'll
be
extra
tot,
so
I
think
that
there
will
be
funding
there
but
yeah.
I
did
raise
that
issue
as
well.
L
F
Yeah
I
mean
that
that'll
make
sense
is
my
recollection
as
well,
but
obviously,
at
the
time
when
they
came,
we
talked
about
potential
changes
right,
that
the
program
needed
to
be
flushed
out
and
things
along
those
lines.
So
when
this
comes
back
to
us,
it
will
include
what
the
program
actually
they're
going
to
apply
for
would
be
right,
which
we
didn't
have
before
it
was.
It
was
to
help
them
get
there
right.
F
We
probably
would
want
that
to
be
out
as
well,
so
we
so
they
know
that
they're
fitting
the
same
criteria
before
we
make
a
decision
and
on
their
looking
at
the
website
quickly
it
looked
like
it
was
still
going
to
come
out
in
march
25th.
Of
course
it's
june
30th
almost
july
1st.
So
I
I
don't
know
if
you
know
that
councilmember
hostage,
but
from
the
website
looking
very
quickly
on
my
phone,
it
did
not
look
like
the
state
had
finalized.
What
the
criteria
would
be.
L
L
Potentially
you
know
contributing
or
committed
to
contributing
to
have
a
competitive
application
that
they
know
from
all
the
internal
conversations
about
what
the
rfa
or
rfp
is
going
to
look
like
from
the
state.
So
they
can't,
in
their
opinion,
submit
a
successful
application
without
getting-
and
you
know
that
commitment-
whether
you
know
it's
from
the
city,
whether
it's
from
a
different
agency
right,
but
they
need
to.
F
G
And
so
one
of
the
reasons
this
was
a
placeholder
and
anticipated
is
that
there
was
some
thought
that
that
criteria
could
be
solidified
by
now,
and
there
is
some
concern
that
if
the
state
has
a
call
for
funding,
and
especially
right
after
say
our
second
july
meeting
and
we're
dark
for
a
month,
et
cetera
et
cetera,
that
they
might
be
in
a
weaker
position
for
applying
for
funding.
So
but
that's
at
the
top
of
my
list
too,
to
discuss
with
the
applicants.
A
L
L
19
health
centers
throughout
our
region,
san
diego
imperial
and
riverside
counties
and
they've
requested
that
we
bring
forward
a
resolution
on
reproductive
justice
and
our
role
in
palm
springs
as
a
city
that
is
going
to
receive
a
number
of
people
flying
here
from
all
over
the
country
and
driving
here
likely
from
arizona
and
other
states
due
to
the
fall
of
roe
v
wade
and
the
erosion
of
the
right
to
abortion.
Access
in
this
country,
probably
in
half
the
states,
arizona
is
a
trigger
ban
state
and
so
arizona
will
likely
have
a
ban.
