Thank
you.
Thank
you
with
that
being
said,
I'd
like
to
move
on
to
public
comments
section.
This
time
has
been
set
aside
for
members
of
the
public
to
address
Parks
and
Recreation
Commission
on
agenda
items
and
items
of
general
interest
within
the
subject
matter:
jurisdiction
of
the
commission.
Although
the
commission
values
your
comments
pursuant
to
the
brown
act,
it
generally
cannot
take
any
action
on
items
listed
on
the
posted
agenda
and
there
will
be
a
three-minute
assigned
for
each
speaker.
So
with
that
being
said,
can
we
start
with
our
first
speaker.
B
J
Good
evening,
chair,
Alcorn
and
Commissioners,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
address
the
Parks
and
Recreation
Commission.
My
name
is
John
Coulier
I'm,
the
vice
president
of
Palm
Springs,
Senior,
Softball,
American
League
tonight,
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
nine-member
board
in
approximately
70
players
of
the
league,
which
has
been
a
staple
in
the
city
for
over
40
years
or
the
few
fields
that
demuth
Park
to
be
useful.
They
need
to
be
safe,
well
maintained
and
properly
prepared
for
League
or
tournament
play.
J
That
said,
it
is
in
the
Outfield,
where
players
run
the
highest
risk
of
injury,
whether
they
are
senior
players
or
tournament
Players
of
any
Aid
The
Outfield
is
where
players
chase
down
balls
while
running
at
full
speed.
It
should
go
without
saying
that
the
presence
of
gopher
mounds
and
holes
and
neglected
irrigation
equipment
creates
an
unnecessary
hazard.
J
The
number
in
recurrences
of
poles
in
the
Outfield,
particularly
on
field
five,
is
unacceptable.
Further
the
sun
can
sprinkler
box
in
mid-center
field
poses
a
significant
hazard.
These
are
not
new
problems.
The
league
has
Revisited
these
issues
with
the
city
on
numerous
occasions,
while
the
liability
waivers
protect
the
city
when
Recreation
sites
are
in
regular
condition,
they
do
not
cover
gross
negligence.
J
Further,
the
reputation
of
the
venue
for
softball
tournaments
is
primarily
defined
in
player
Circles
by
the
quality
of
the
fields.
If
the
city
intends
to
utilize
The
Parks
at
the
MU,
the
full
potential
safety,
proper
maintenance,
good
field,
prep
enforcement
of
pet
waste
regulations
and
accessibility
are
keys.
J
We
log
your
work
on
the
quality
of
the
infield
field.
Prep
and
accessibility,
however,
the
final
and
likely
highest
element
of
your
Fields
is
the
condition
of
the
Outfield.
We
hereby
are
memorializing
the
information
that
we've
shared
in
your
minutes
and
ask
that
the
commission
prioritized
mitigation
of
the
hazards
outlined
as
soon
as
possible,
and
thank
you
again
for
allowing
us
to
address
the
commissions.
B
K
H
K
And
committee
members
I
do
have
a
couple
of
questions
concerning
the
Palm
Springs
stall,
Parks
I
understand
there
are
plans
in
underway
for
resotting
the
Palm
Springs
dog
park
and
installing
decomposed
Granite
at
the
demuth
dog
park.
I
was
hoping
you
could
confirm
whether
or
not
that's
correct
and
also
give
me
an
idea
what
the
timelines
plan
to
be
for
those
two
projects.
K
Okay
and
the
second
question:
the
maintenance
crew
that
comes
into
the
dog
park
three
days
a
week
for
three
hours
at
a
time
they
don't
appear
to
be
doing
any
kind
of
Maintenance
to
cleaning
the
sidewalks
and
the
concrete
areas
within
the
park.
Is
that
something
that
they're
tasked
with
doing
foreign.
A
L
Great
well
thanks
very
much
for
the
opportunity.
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
very
much
particularly
to
commissioner
Finland
and
director
Weiss
for
leading
the
efforts
of
the
pickleball
ad
hoc
committee.
I'm
really
honored
to
be
on
it
and
I
just
want
the
rest
of
you
to
know
that
the
process
is
working
really
well
and
I.
Think
it's
a
terrific
model
for
other
areas
of
interest
for
the
commission
to
consider
so
that's
it.
I
just
wanted
to
say
thanks.
B
B
Okay,
so
I
have
just
a
couple
updates.
Tonight:
we've
been
talking
a
lot
about
the
grass
in
our
Parks
lately
or
over
the
past
several
months
we
completed
our
overseeding.
We
had
those
areas
that
were
designated
for
dormant
grass
and
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
landscape
conversions
a
little
bit
later
in
tonight's
meeting.
So
this
is
just
the
graphic
that
we've
been
looking
at
as
we
have
been
advancing
through
the
2022
overseeding
schedule.
So
all
of
the
over
seating
is
completed
and
all
portions
of
the
parks
are
open
foreign.
B
For
some
fun
project
updates,
we
have
been
working
on
the
HVAC
improvements
for
the
demuth
community
center
gymnasium
and
I
am
happy
to
report
that
we
are.
We
see
the
Finish
Line
on
this
one.
We
are
just
a
few
short
weeks
away
from
this
project
being
completed
so
I'm,
estimating
right
now
before
the
next
Parks
and
Rec
commission
meeting
that
this
will
be
completed
so
likely
mid-February.
B
We
have
an
RFP,
that's
out
right
now
for
improvements
to
the
Swim
Center,
so
we're
working
with
engineering
on
this
initiative.
The
RFP
right
now
is
looking
at
a
remodel
of
the
existing
locker
room,
slash
restrooms
as
well
as
fencing
for
the
center
and
a
new
entry
ramp
as
well.
The
RFP
has
been
issued
and
we
are
looking
in
terms
of
timeline
of
having
a
contract
awarded
in
the
second
quarter
of
this
year,
so
between
April
through
June,
and
we
will
continue
to
provide
updates
on
that
initiative.
B
B
We
just
completed
a
survey
on
the
reservation
system
that
we
use
at
the
Swim
Center
we
received
over
360
responses,
as
you
can
see,
and
I'm
going
to
walk
you
through
some
of
the
results
of
the
survey.
The
survey
is
also
posted
online,
but
I
just
wanted
to
show
you
some
of
the
survey
results
in
this
meeting
as
well.
B
So
it
was
a
short
10
question
survey
and
it
was
really
meant
to
get
feedback
on
how
we're
currently
managing
the
lane
the
swim,
Lane
reservation
system.
We
asked
it
a
couple
to
sort
of
demographic
related
questions,
so
we
knew
who
was
answering
the
survey.
The
survey
was
completely
Anonymous,
as
you
can
see
from
the
data
here
over
94
of
the
survey.
Respondents
were
residents
of
the
city
of
Palm,
Springs
and
in
terms
of
usage
for
our
pull.
B
Question
three:
we
asked
how
often
the
individuals
were
frequenting.
The
pool
92
of
the
individuals
surveyed
indicated
that
they
are
using
the
pool
more
than
one
time
a
week
that
blue
area
of
that
pie
chart.
There
indicates
only
eight
percent
indicating
that
they
use
the
pole
just
one
time
a
week.
So
what
we
know
is
that
our
pool
Community
likes
to
use
the
pool
more
often
each
week,
question
four.
B
We
wanted
to
get
a
little
bit
more
granular
to
learn
about
the
days
of
the
week
that
our
community
was
using
the
pool
the
green
graphic
there.
57
of
that
shows
that
most
of
our
users
are
using
the
poll
both
on
weekdays
and
weekends.
The
blue
area,
which
is
the
equivalent
of
about
40
percent,
indicated
those
users
who
were
just
interested
in
using
the
pool
on
weekdays,
with
the
smallest
portion
there
that
orange
section
about
three
percent
indicating
those
users
who
were
really
just
using
the
pool
on
the
weekends.
B
Question
five:
we
wanted
to
get
some
information
about
whether
or
not
our
users
were
interested
in
the
long
course
configuration
of
the
pool
that
we
are
doing
on
Sundays
the
orange
graphic.
There
indicates
that
50
of
our
respondents
indicated
that
that
service
is
not
valuable
to
them
as
a
swimmer,
but,
as
you
can
see
on
the
other
side
of
that
pie,
chart
39
indicated
yes,
that
they
do
like
long
course
lap
swimming
where
the
green
area
is
equivalent
of
11
being
undecided,
so
50
50.
B
On
that
one
question:
six
we
asked
how
the
individuals
were
typically
using
the
pool
whether
that
be
drop
in
which
is
for
us,
is
just
like
showing
up
to
the
pool.
Were
they
doing
the
advanced
reservation
system
or
were
they
doing
a
combination
of
both
the
orange
section
of
that
pie?
Chart
is
equivalent
of
50
and
those
individuals
were
indicating
that
they
were
using
the
reservation
system.
The
remaining
50
percent
was
split.
B
That
blue
area
is
about
26,
indicating
that
those
are
the
users
that
drop
in
or
just
show
up
without
reservation,
and
then
the
green
area
24
indicates
those
who
use
a
combination
of
the
both.
Sometimes
they
make
reservations,
and
sometimes
they
just
come
over
and
drop
in
to
swim
question
seven.
We
asked
for
some
additional
feedback
on
the
actual
Lane
reservation
system.
Right
now
we
utilize
the
lane
reservation
system
between
7
A.M
to
11
A.M,
which
allows
users
to
reserve
a
swim
Lane
for
one
hour
in
duration.
B
59
of
the
respondents
indicated
yes
that
they
have
found
this
reservation
system
to
be
beneficial.
The
orange
area
indicated
actually
I.
Don't
have
that
percentage
in
front
of
me,
but
we
can
clearly
do
the
math
on
that.
The
majority
of
the
individuals
you
know
have
indicated
that
the
reservation
system
was
beneficial.
The
green
indicates
those
that
were
undecided
question.
Eight.
We
asked
a
question
about
whether
or
not
the
community
would
be
interested
in
eliminating
the
lane
reservation
system.
B
Question
nine.
We
were
curious
about
how
our
swim
community
feels
about
sharing
Lanes
during
busier
times
of
day
in
the
Blue
Area
45
of
those
surveyed
indicated
that,
yes,
they
would
be
willing
to
share
Lanes
during
busier
times
the
orange
area
50
indicated
those
users
who
said
that
they
would
not
be
interested
in
Sharing
lanes
and
that
green
area
is
equivalent
of
four
percent
for
those
who
were
undecided.
B
This
type
of
data
can
help
us
make
changes
and
improvements
to
how
our
users
reserve
the
pool
and
how
they
have
access
to
using
swim,
Lanes.
So
more
on
that
will
be
forthcoming,
but
I
just
wanted
to
share
the
results
of
the
survey
with
you
and
again.
The
survey
is
also
posted
on
the
Swim
Center
section
of
the
city's
website
as
well.
B
Shifting
gears
on
updates.
We
have
an
exciting
special
event
happening
on
Tuesday
February
21st.
This
is
the
U.S
Air
Force
Band
of
the
Golden
West
concert
it'll
be
at
7
pm
in
the
Plaza
theater.
This
is
a
completely
free
concert
and
our
department
will
be
responsible
for
managing
the
distribution
of
those
tickets.
I
do
not
believe
that
we
have
the
tickets
yet,
but
you
can
call
the
Leisure
Center
and
we
will
be
Distributing.
Those
to
the
community
has
a
cap
of
800
just
due
to
capacity
constraints.
B
We
are
also
hiring
for
quite
a
few
positions
still,
so
we
are
hiring
for
a
program
coordinator,
an
account
clerk,
two
we're
hiring
for
a
four
part-time
Park
Rangers.
We
are
also
hiring
for
lifeguard
trainees,
and
this
is
a
new
program
that
city
council
just
approved
for
us,
and
the
goal
of
this
is
for
us
to
be
able
to
attract
more
lifeguards
to
work
at
our
Swim
Center.
B
So,
instead
of
having
to
have
all
of
the
certifications
in
place
before
you
apply
to
be
a
lifeguard,
the
city
will
oversee
the
certification
process
for
those
who
are
interested
in
being
lifeguards.
So
it's
really
a
trainee
program
where
the
employee
would
then
advance
to
become
a
lifeguard,
and
we
think
this
is
going
to
be
a
more
sustainable
approach
for
helping
train
individuals
in
the
community
to
be
lifeguards
as
well
as
helping
staff
our
Swim
Center.
B
We
also
have
four
part-time
positions
that
are
currently
posted
for
recreation
program
assistance,
so
we
are
still
a
fairly
short
staffed
right
now.
As
you
can
see,
we
have
a
number
of
recruitments
that
are
already
in
that
recruitment
phase
and
we
have
a
number
of
other
positions
that
we
still
need
to
get
posted
and
we
are
doing
our
best
to
keep
up
with
all
of
our
amazing
operations
across
all
of
our
centers.
B
We
are
currently
planning
an
open
house
to
help
serve
as
a
better
way
for
the
community
to
find
out
about
who
we
are
and
what
we
do
in
terms
of
projects
and
programs.
So
this
meeting,
of
course,
is
one
way
that
the
community
can
learn
about
who
we
are
and
what
we
do,
and
we
also
have
that
new
section
on
our
website,
where
we
have
project
updates,
but
we've
been
trying
to
figure
out
other
ways
to
continue
to
work
with
the
community
and
share
information
about
projects.
B
So
we
have
decided
that
we
are
going
to
do
an
open
house
at
the
demuth
community
center
and
this
will
be
sort
of
a
One-Stop
shop
where
the
public
can
come
out
and
learn
about
a
variety
of
programs
that
we
have.
So
the
community
can
learn
about
the
improvements
to
the
pickleball
courts.
They
can
learn
about
improvements
to
the
dog
park.
B
They
can
learn
about
programs
that
we
offer
as
well
as
even
you
know,
hear
about
some
of
those
recruitments
that
we
have
in
place
and
we
will
have
staff
on
site
to
do
q,
a
sessions
and
we're
hoping
that
this
will
be
a
good
format
for
helping
the
community
to
sort
of
learn
more
about
who
we
are
and
what
we
do
a
date
for.
This
one
is
still
be
being
figured
out,
but
we're
looking
at
like
the
late
February
or
that
first
week
in
March.
B
All
right,
James
or
Jesse
the
same
amazing
lineup
of
those
athletic
and
health
and
wellness
programs
that
we
normally
have,
with
soul,
line
dancing
being
a
new
offering
on
Fridays
from
4
30
to
5,
30.,
otherwise
same
great
programs.
There,
and
also
we
remain
focused
on
our
sort
of
educational
offerings
at
James
with
Jesse
as
well
through
homework.
Help
program
focused
on
our
mature
adults,
as
well
as
the
youth
encouragement
program
knitting
and
sewing
in
a
computer
lab
for
the
community
to
use
jumping
over
to
the
demuth
community
center
again.
B
This
past
weekend
at
the
Duluth
Community
Center,
we
did
our-
let's
see,
maybe
our
fourth
month
of
the
community
flea
market.
This
has
been
widely
popular
and
is
growing
in
popularity
and
I.
Believe
we
had
over
300
people
who
came
out
to
the
community
flea
market
this
past
Saturday
and
for
those
who
are
interested
it's
a
10
table
fee.
The
flea
market
is
open
from
8
to
noon
outside
of
the
newmouth
community
center.
If
you're
interested
I
can
certainly
just
call
the
community
center,
we
can
give
you
more
information
on
that
program.
B
A
B
So
we've
provided
a
printed
copy
of
our
draft
20
23
meeting
calendar
for
you
in
your
packages
and
I've
also
put
those
dates
on
the
slide
here
for
the
benefit
of
the
public
as
well.
We
traditionally
go
dark
in
August
and
this
commission
typically
meets
on
the
fourth
Monday
of
each
month,
so
we
have
those
dates
outlined
for
you
for
the
year,
with
the
December
meeting
being
moved
up
to
the
third
Monday
of
that
month.

Hello,
chair
Alcorn
and
other
committee
members,
thank
you
for
having
me
on
tonight.
As
you
stated,
chair
Alcorn,
you
guys
have
already
kind
of
reviewed
the
the
plans
and
what
not
for
baristo
desert,
Highland,
Francis,
Stevens
and
Victoria
Park,
so
I
mean
if
you
have
any
questions
on
any
of
those
Parks,
then
just
let
me
know
at
this
point:
I
mean
we've
gone
through
these
over
the
last
couple
of
months.
I'm
sorry
I
wasn't
able
to
make
last
month's
committee
meeting,
but
I
believe.
M
My
purpose
in
this
meeting
is
to
walk
you
through
the
Ruth
Hardy
Park
design
changes
I,
believe
several
several
of
you
have
made
comments
and
suggestions
to
the
Ruth
Hardy
park,
where
you
like
the
idea
that
we
were
doing
it.
Some
of
the
other
parks
with
entry,
like
pathway,
pavers,
to
be
able
to
access
through
the
the
desertscape
area
from
like
the
sidewalks
walking
through
those
areas
into
the
areas
that
will
remain
as
grass,
so
the
Ruth
Hardy
Park
is
actually
the
largest
of
these
five
part.
M
Conversions
and
I
know
the
last
time
I
received
a
comment
and
feedback.
We
also
you
requested
to
remove
any
of
the
grass
areas
around
the
tennis
courts
and
pickleball
courts.
So
there
wasn't
grass
butting
up
right
against
the
the
courts,
therefore
causing
irrigation
to
overflow
or
run
onto
the
courts,
and
you
know
leave
puddles
and
whatnot
when
patrons
start
showing
up.
M
So
we
did
those
changes
to
those
four
different
areas
around
the
tennis
court
and
pickleball
courts,
and
then
it
was
also
suggested
adding
some
type
of
gravel
just
or
Cobble
right
up
against
those
Court
areas.
And
so
we
went
ahead
and
added
the
the
Tuda
or
the
six
inch
minus
just
a
band.
A
small
band
like
12
to
18
inches
around
the
entire
perimeter
of
those
just
to
help
collect
any.
You
know,
debris
or
water
from
going
in
there
and
then
elsewhere.
A
B
That
is
actually
the
next
step
for
us.
So
what
we
wanted
to
do
is
to
have
you
at
least,
recommend
that
the
concept
proposals
are
looking
good
and
that
will
help
the
city
figure
out
the
proposed
budgets
for
each
of
the
parks,
as
well
as
the
appropriate
sequencing,
and
we
can
bring
that
back
to
you
as
well,
so
that
you
know
what
sequencing
that
we're.
Looking
at.
C
D
Yeah
I
just
want
to
ask
if
there's
any
way,
we
can
also
remove
the
grass
in
desert
Highland
near
the
mural,
we're
working
on
a
project
to
update
the
mural
to
add
tile
to
it,
to
kind
of
try
to
make
it
last
a
little
longer,
because
the
sprinklers
hit
the
mural
and
over
time
it
just
makes
the
mural
fade.
So
I
think
it
would
probably
be
a
good
idea
to
maybe
add
some
Desert
Landscaping
there
near
the
mural
as
well.
C
A
M
A
D
L
A
F
F
This
quarter,
I,
don't
think
we
have
an
exact
date
yet,
but
I
know
it's
this
quarter
and
then
the
next
thing
other
than
the
windscreen
that
you
see
here
is
there
will
be
a
large
shade
structure
kind
of
right
in
the
middle
of
the
park.
This
is
a
what
the
shade
structure
will
look
like
the
do.
We
have
the
above
shot
of
this
or
no.
F
You
can
see
there's
sort
of
two
sections
of
the
shade
structure,
so
the
lower
section
will
be
that
bottom
color,
which
is
desert
tan
or
sand
or
whatever
you
want
to
call
it,
and
then
the
upper
section
will
be
that
yellowish
color
and
we
picked
these
colors
based
on
how
much
they
filter
the
UV
light
and
how
much
shade
they
actually
give.
So
these
two
colors
are
on
the
higher
end
of
that
scale,
not
to
mention
you
know.
F
F
C
A
Have
not
a
part
of
this,
but
I
know
you
guys,
are
working
on
lifting
the
fence
up
or
shade
one
of
the
other
issues
we're
having
right.
There,
too,
is
that
brand
new,
shade
structure
by
the
CB
link
getting
a
whole
new
design
on
that
side.
Now
it's
having
a
lot
more
pothole,
a
lot
more
dings
and
dents
and
I
already
see
lights,
not
in
it
because
we've
been
hit.
So
maybe
we
can
do
the
fencing
around
that
whole
side
to
protect
the
dogs
and
also
our
new
beautiful
structures
there
before
it's
too
late,
yeah.
F
E
That
hey
Jerry,
just
so
I,
can
say
something
yes,
sir
yeah.
So
that's
going
to
be
what
what
good
job
John
by
the
way,
what
they're
gonna
do?
What
we're?
What
we've
got
looking
to
towards
is
is
netting
and
that
netting
is
going
to
help
protect
that
CV
link
structure
along
with
the
panels
on
top
of
that
structure,
along
with
cars
being
parked
there
and
then,
along
with
dogs
and
and
people
getting
hit
by
balls.
So
yeah
there's
a
net
that
we're
we're.
A
A
N
F
N
N
Just
to
see
if
we
can
see
who
their
Master
plans
were
created
by
to
see
if
they
might
be
qualified
to
place
a
bid
for
our
for
our
updates
as
well,
and
so
we're
looking
at
at
least
a
year
timeline
for
that.
But
we
have
some
good
routes
established
and
we
will
continue
meeting
on
a
monthly
basis
to
or
or
try
to
meet
on
a
semi-frequent
basis
to
try
to
move
the
process
along.
N
But
we
right
now
are
kind
of
auditing.
The
last
the
last
go
round,
which
again
was
in
2014
just
to
make
sure
that
we
can
identify
any
areas
that
weren't
really
touched
on
or
something
that
worked
really
well
for
the
city,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
whoever
we
do
select
for
the
next
version
of
the
master
plan
can
can
sort
of
appropriately
address
the
needs
of
the
city.
A
I
I
With
regard
to
the
barriers.
The
other
item
that
we
had
for
a
discussion
we
had
talked
about
the
inference
way
signs
and
we
want
to
have
something
that
identifies
to
the
public
at
large.
So
we
have
a
white
board
system
set
up
and
it
was
suggested
that
if
we
do
have
this
designation
for
the
Public's
advisement,
the
sign
should
go
on
both
sides
of
the
gate.
So
people
can
see
it
coming
and
going
as
far
as
the
system.
That's
at
play
for
attendees,
as
Ivana
noted
earlier
in
the
meeting
this.
I
This
event
will
be
done
in
tandem
with
the
dog
park
committee
and
really
we're
casting
a
broad,
broad
stroke
with
regard
to
how
the
meeting
would
be
conducted.
It's
really
going
to
be
like
a
a
general
as
I
understand
it,
a
general
information
session
to
let
people
know
what
the
parks
and
recreations
is
all
about,
and
what
it's
offering
the
city
of
course,
and
I'm
not
bragging.
Although
I
went
away,
I
am
the
The
Works
of
the
door.
I
I
Someone
had
said
that
we
could
maybe
present
a
survey
at
this
public
engagement
meeting
and
just
to
get
feedback
what
people
would
be
looking
for,
and
we
also
proposed-
perhaps
investors
there
when
the
queries
about
the
sport
at
about
the
the
ground,
rules
and
regulations
for
participating
in
people
now
we're
seeing
on
the
screen.
We
do
samples
of
ground
decals,
which
we
put
up
on
the
courts
for
instructional
purposes
for
the
players.
I
So
we
have
something
that's
visually
appealing
and
getting
people's
attention,
and
these
decalitions
see
will
let
people
know
give
them
a
little
excuse,
a
little
direct
as
far
as
in
a
quick
way
in
a
quick
fashion.
The
do's
and
don'ts
we're
in
the
process
of
Designing
t-shirts,
capable
ambassadors,
and
we
want
to
have
something
with
them.
So
they'll
be
very
visible
to
folks
attending
this
engagement
event,
but
also
when
going
forward
for
future
games.
I
A
question
arose
in
a
recent
meeting
with
regard
to
lighting
for
the
courts,
and
Iran
are
the
attendees
that
Parks
we're
going
to
look
into
that
matter
further
to
make
sure
it
was
addressed
and
in
leading
up
to
the
meeting
that
we
had
in
a
few
days
back.
There
was
some
parking
issues
and
we've
received
some
complaints
from
our
neighbors
over
at
the
animal
shelter.
They
feel
that
a
lot
of
the
periodable
people
are
parking
in
the
parking
lot
and
it's
being
very
prohibitive
for
people
to
access
the
the
animal
shelter.
I
So
we
had
some
discussion
on
what
we
could
do
and
I
think
we're
probably
looking
for
an
additional
sign
to
be
put
for
advising
purpose
public
and
it
was
put
forth
within
the
meaning
and
we'll
see
as
far
as
if
it's
something
that
can
be
done
for
follow-up,
but
we'll
be
maybe
putting
together,
Liars
or
leaflets
or
something
on
that
nature
that
well
for
innovational
purposes
acquire
when
they
come
to
the
demo.
Park.
I
B
E
I
Not
engage
in
information
overload
for
people
coming
to
jamuth,
but
at
the
same
time
we
want
to
do
whatever
we
can
in
different
spots
for
informational.
So
to
the
best
of
my
knowledge,
they're
going
to
be
on
the
courts
and
it's
just
being
done
as
a
methodology
of
being
insightful
to
people
so
that
they
see
coming
into
the
facility
they're
seeing
signage
and
then
on.
The
yes
requests
themselves.
A
G
Actually
yeah
I
do
I
do
actually
if
I
can,
hopefully
sorry
I
was
looking
at
another
screen,
we're
trying
to
on
our
on
our
packet
with
some
of
the
ad
hoc
meetings
that
go
on
I'm
just
going
to
be
very
candid:
do
we
all
feel
like
we
all
know
when
they're
happening
or
as
as
Jerry
and
I
were
communicating
earlier,
like
I
didn't
actually
know,
I
I
know
Susie,
you
thought
I
was
and
I
apologize
if
I
missed
it.
So
it's
my
fault
but
I
didn't
know.
G
There
was
a
master
plan
meeting
early
in
January
if
I
was
on
it.
I
I
I
didn't
know
that.
So,
if
there's
some
participation
that
needs
to
happen,
if
there's
any
way
to
streamline
that
or
to
be
more
involved
and
in
the
know,
like
I
know,
I'm
on
on
the
ad
hoc
committing
for
for
the
the
pickleball,
which
is
not
really
my
forte,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
things
progress.
G
If
there's
anything
I
can
do
you
know
my
my
my
my
directive
for
myself
was
to
in
in
hopes
of
focusing
on
Sunrise
Park.
So
when
when,
when
there's
a
broader
scope
of
of
initiatives,
I
I
don't
know
if
I'm
always
in
the
know
and
I
don't
know.
If
anybody
else
feels
like
that,
I
I
think
you
know
seeing
Yvonne
at
work.
G
I
think
things
are
really
gotten
so
much
better
since
I've
joined,
you
know
on
the
commission,
but
I
still
feel
like
things
are
parsed
and
as
long
as
things
are
happening,
like
John's
presentation
as
an
example
with
the
dog
park,
I
mean
I,
didn't
know
that
was
all
going
on,
but
that
was
fabulous
and
so
long
as
things
are
happening,
but
I'm
not
sure.
Sometimes
when
things
might
be
unfolding,
if
there's
anything
more,
anybody
I
could
do
or
you
know,
as
I
was
talking
to
Jerry.
F
E
B
We
can
certainly
do
that
at
the
staff
level
as
well.
The
reason
why,
though,
we
were
not
notifying
the
entire
commission,
is
that
it's
just
a
small
ad
hoc
group
of
the
full
commission
and
then
we
had
planned
to
use
these
meetings
for
the
sort
of
broad,
comprehensive
updates
on
the
work
of
each
of
those
ad
hocs.
F
G
Yes-
and
it's
not
too
not
to
hold
anything
up,
of
course,
or
to
make
extra
work
or
if
you
know,
if
I'm,
not
on
an
ad
hoc
committee,
but
yes
thank
you
John
and
thank
you
Yvonne,
no,
it's
just
if
there's
any
any
other
additional
input
or
any
help
or
anything
prior
to
it.
You
know
I'd
like
to
like
to
be
able
to
participate
in
any
kind
of
way.
G
I
grew
up
across
from
the
swim,
swim
swimming
pool,
all
my
life,
for
instance,
and
so
I'm,
you
know,
or
Sunrise
park
or
being
involved
in
the
Parks
as
a
child.
So
when
some
of
these
things
are
are
taking
place,
the
funny
thing
is
I
again,
I
think
I
volunteered
to
be
of
help,
but
the
committee
that
I'm
on
I
play
tennis,
the
least
thing
that
I
know
about
is
pickleball,
but
the
only
reason
I'd
like
to
see
it
Prosper
is
because
it
is
the
fastest
growing
sport
in
the
nation.
G
But
our
responsibility
to
erect
signs
or
some
sort
of
you
know
no
parking,
no
parking
during
this
time
in
these
spots
or
setting
aside
spots
that
people
can't
park
in
again
not
to
make
it
sound
like
it's
our
fault,
it's
not
in
any
way.
It's
just
a
a
rapidly
growing
Sport
and
people
are
showing
up
by
the
droves.
So
if
there's
anything
we
can
do
or
to
help,
you
know
I'm.
G
Definitely
somebody
that
like
to
help
in
that
even
being
some
sort
of
liaison
between
the
animal
shelter,
I'm,
a
big
animal
activist
and
or
Advocate
and
and
and
the
parks.
So
if
there's
just
some
sort
of
straddling
that
could
go
on
without
having
to
formally
weigh
down
the
ad
hoc
committees
I,
which
I
don't
want
to
do.
But
you
know
hearing
some
of
these
things.
You
know
during
our
meeting
like
to
be
able
to
help
in
any
way
I'm
sure
other
people
do
too
that's
all,
but.
D
I
just
gotta
click
comment.
I
know
we
discussed
the
Swim
Center
survey
and
I've
brought
this
up
in
the
past
as
well,
but
I'd
like
to
see
us
add
some
more
features
to
the
Swim
Center,
maybe
like
some
slides,
bring
back
the
diving
board
or
maybe
like
some
kids
play,
features
to
kind
of
make
it
more
a
family
and
children
friendly.
G
D
B
N
Great
yeah,
you
can
call
sorry
this
is,
commissioner,
you
can
call
and
kind
of
just
see
if
there's
something
open,
but
it
is
difficult.
If
you
don't
sign
up
early
to
get
a
reservation,
it
can
be
difficult
and
I
think
the
I
was
going
to
actually
ask
Yvonne
if
there
had
been
any
sort
of
updates
on
the
hiring,
because
I
know,
there's
been
a
lot
of
unexpected
closures
of
the
the
pool.
H
N
The
past
few
weeks
and
I
just
I
assumed
that
that
had
to
do
with
with
Staffing,
but
it
would
be
great
if
we
could
kind
of
just
get
a
realistic
update
on
Staffing,
because
it
would
be
so
nice
if
we
could
kind
of
make
more
robust
stock
situation
possible
for
the
summer,
and
maybe
we
can
do
some
of
these
things.
That
Dieter
is
talking
about
and
kind
of
increase
the
accessibility
to
the
pool
to
people
who
are
not
just
coming
for
you
know,
swim
planes,
yeah.
B
And
for
us
it's
that
new
lifeguard
training
program
that
we
had
city
council
just
approve,
as
sort
of
a
more
longer
term
sustainable
approach
to
make
sure
that
there's
more
individuals
in
the
Coachella
Valley
that

lifeguard
for
the
city
of
Palm
Springs.
