C
A
So
for
the
person
who's
speaking,
thank
you
for
demonstrating
that
to
us.
So
yes,
if
you
are
speaking
the
host
and
you're
not
muted,
the
host,
which
is
the
city
staff,
is
going
to
mute
your
screen.
So
please
know
that
we're
trying
to
hold
here
with
100
participants,
maybe
more
just
to
note
that
this
meeting
is
also
being
broadcast
on
city
tv,
on
channel
17
and
also
on
youtube
for
those
people
who
are
calling
in
as
well
so
city
clerk.
If
you
could,
please
conduct
a
roll
call.
F
A
A
Thank
you,
city
clerk,
so
just
to
know
a
few
housekeeping
items
before
we
begin
the
business
items
for
the
meeting
one.
We
know
that
this
is
a
difficult
conversation
that
we're
having
here
tonight.
We
know
that
there
are
passionate
voices
and
opinions
to
share
as
well
as
lived
experiences
that
may
be
difficult
for
people
to
share,
and
so
we
want
to
be
thoughtful
that
one
that
everyone
stays
muted
and
stays
respectful
and
that
we
can.
A
A
If
commissioners
do
have
public
comment
to
make
during
the
public
comment
section
and
not
speaking
in
their
capacity
as
human
rights
commissioners
you're
able
to
do
that.
Please
do
it
in
pub
the
public
comments
section
of
the
meeting
and
say
that
you're,
not
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
commission
or
as
a
commission
member,
but
in
your
own
personal
capacity
and
to
say
up
front
for
public
comment.
We
know
we've
received
a
lot
of
requests
to
speak
for
public
comment.
A
The
city
clerk
will
go
over
how
that
will
happen,
but
we're
accommodating
public
comment
by
phone
as
well
as
on
zoom,
with
the
raise
hand
feature
so
for
people
who
wanted
to
call
in
to
the
meeting
they've,
given
their
name
to
the
city,
clerk
and
the
city
clerk.
Has
that
list
and
if
you'd
like
to
provide
public
comment
here
tonight,
you're
going
to
raise
your
hand
on
the
zoom
feature
and
the
city
clerk
will
describe
how
to
do
that.
A
We
will
have
the
ability
to
extend
that,
if
necessary,
but
just
holding
that
we
want
to
hear
from
everyone.
We
want
to
have
a
public
and
transparent
conversation
hear
all
voices,
but
that
we
do
need
to
do
the
business
of
the
meeting
as
well,
so
with
those
housekeeping
items.
I'd
like
to
call
the
first
item,
which
oh
and,
if
I
could
say
one
more
thing
about
housekeeping,
so
you
have
the
full
city
council
here
many
of
us
are
at
city
hall.
You
have
the
commission
members
as
well.
A
We
expect
this
meeting
to
last
many
hours.
So
please
know
that
if
we
do
go
off
camera,
so
we
can
take
a
sip
of
water
or
something
like
that.
A
little
bite
of
food.
Please
know
that
we
are
here
listening
to
all
public
comment.
It's
just
that
it
is
difficult
for
all
of
us
to
sit
on
zoom
for
four
to
six
to,
however
many
hours
this
will
be
so
just
just
want
to
note
that,
for
the
record
and
for
the
public,
please
know
that
we
are
listening
to
your
public
comment
very
carefully.
A
So
with
that
I
will
call
the
first
item
new
business
items,
which
is
1a
consideration
of
human
rights.
Commission
draft
resolution
apologizing
for
the
city's
role
in
the
actions
associated
with
section
14
and
consideration
of
human
rights.
Commission
resolution
hrc
21-001,
recommending
removal
of
the
frank
bogart
monument
from
the
front
of
palm
springs,
city
hall
and
possible
direction
to
city
staff.
So
first
we
will
ask
for
a
staff
report.
A
Then
we
will
ask
for
rhonda
hart
the
chair
of
the
human
rights
commission
to
summarize
the
human
rights
commission's
recommendations,
and
then
we
will
have
city
council
ask
any
clarifying
questions
of
counts,
of
staff
or
of
mr
de
hart
as
the
chair
of
the
commission,
and
then
we
will
move
on
to
the
public
comment
period
of
the
agenda
to
listen
to
public
comments,
and
then
we
will
deliberate
as
a
city
council
on
the
items
that
are
in
front
of
us.
So
with
that
roadmap.
A
I
I
Associated
with
section
14
for
city
council
consideration
at
a
subsequent
meeting
on
april,
12
2021
and
may
5th
2021.
They
also
discussed
the
role
of
former
mayor,
frank
bogart.
During
those
events
and
the
fact
that
a
monument
in
his
honor
is
located
in
front
of
city
hall
at
the
may
5th
2021
meeting
the
human
rights
commission
also
adopted
a
resolution
to
start.
I
J
Thank
you,
jay.
Thank
you,
mayor
city
council
for
first
off
scheduling
this
joint
meeting
and
special
thanks
to
all
the
residents
who
are
going
to
take
time
and
participate
in
public
comment
whether
spoken
or
have
any
having
submitted
in
written
form.
It's
an
important
process
and
it's
important
for
everyone
to
be
heard
and
to
appreciate
the
many
viewpoints
that
exist
before
I
do
start
related
to
our
mission
to
promote
and
protect
the
diversity
of
our
community
and
to
approve
human
relations
through
education
and
community
awareness.
J
Before
healing
can
begin
for
families
and
descendants
of
those
removed
from
section
14,
the
city
must
acknowledge
the
hurt
in
our
history
of
urban
renewal
and
the
impact
inflicted
on
palm
springs:
black
indigenous
and
people
of
color.
On
march
8
2021,
the
unanimous
support
of
the
human
rights
commission
commissioners
approved
a
draft
apology
under
consideration
tonight.
J
J
Many
in
the
black
community
opposed
the
monument
when
the
installation
was
announced
in
1989
and
for
the
last
31
years
residents
have
told
city
leaders.
The
monument
is
an
offensive
symbol
to
the
black
indigenous
people
of
color
community,
and
it
has
served
as
a
reminder
of
oppression
and
racist
actions
against
their
community
in
the
city
council,
listening
sessions
on
july,
18
2020
and
at
the
human
rights
commission
meetings
this
year,
residents
restated
that
to
them
the
monument
symbolizes,
a
painful
legacy
of
racism
and
racial
discrimination
in
our
community.
J
The
harm
caused
by
the
city's
actions
in
raising
section
14
cannot
be
erased.
The
monument
to
many
symbolizes,
the
contributions
of
a
founding
father,
a
friend
and
a
leader
of
this
city,
to
others.
It's
not
a
monument
that
honors
it's
a
symbol
of
systemic
racism,
and
that
is
a
part
of
our
city's
history.
J
The
community
is
divided
in
front
of
council
tonight.
The
resolution
hrc
21-001
the
human
rights
commission
recommends
the
removal
of
the
bogart
monument
from
the
front
of
palm
springs
city
hall
in
another
location.
The
monument
will
continue
to
pay
tribute
to
mayor
bogart.
The
city
hall
will
once
again
be
the
people's
house
for
all
residents.
A
Seeing
none-
and
we
can
do
that
as
well
after
public
comments
after
we
have
residents
and
our
public
who
is
participating
in.
Thank
you.
So
that
might
happen
a
few
times
bear
with
us,
as
we
want
to
make
sure
everyone's
on
zoom.
But
we
do
have
to
mute
people,
so
please
do
remain
muted
and
we
will
meet
you
if
you
are
not
muted.
So
with
that,
we
will
move
and
open
the
public
comment
period
of
the
meeting.
So
I
will
ask
city
clerk
to
provide
instructions
on
how
the
public
comment
will
be
conducted.
City
clerk.
E
Thank
you,
and
if
money
you
could
spotlight
me
and
tiffany.
As
the
mayor
mentioned,
the
public
comment
period
will
be
limited
to
four
hours
tonight,
with
the
possibility
of
extending
it.
If
necessary,
we
will
begin
with
members
participating
via
zoom
after
approximately
two
hours.
We
will
proceed
with
taking
comments
from
those
calling
in
and
any
remaining
time
will
be
used
for
additional
zoom
comments.
E
Everyone
will
have
up
to
two
minutes
to
provide
their
comments
and
my
assistant,
tiffany
bailey,
will
be
monitoring
the
timer
and
will
raise
a
yellow
sign
indicating
that
you
have
15
seconds
left.
She
will
follow
up
with
a
red
sign
indicating
that
your
time
has
elapsed
due
to
the
number
of
anticipated
speakers.
I
urge
everyone
to
please
respect
the
time
limit.
Once
your
time
has
elapsed.
I
will
ask
you
to
please
finish
your
sentence.
E
Please
note
that
you
can
still
observe
the
meeting
by
watching
channel
17
on
spectrum
and
live
streaming
on
the
city's
website
and
youtube
channel.
I
appreciate
everyone's
cooperation
in
ensuring
that
everyone
has
an
equal
opportunity
to
be
heard
in
a
respectful
manner
to
begin,
I
will
ask
those
who
desire
to
speak
to
please
raise
your
hand.
E
I
also
ask
that
you
please
allow
those
who
need
special
accommodations,
a
couple
of
minutes
to
raise
their
hands
first,
if
you
are
joining
us
via
phone,
you
can
press
star
9
to
raise
your
hand
and
be
added
to
the
speaker
queue
once
you
are
called
upon.
You
can
unmute
and
mute
yourself
by
pressing
star
6..
I
I
This
is
not
such
an
instance.
This
is
a
stain
upon
our
city,
the
statute
there,
as
mr
de
hart
spoke
of
it,
diminishes
us.
It
should
not
be
there.
There
is
somewhere
else.
It
can
go.
I'm
sure
the
former
mayor
is
not
without
his
merits,
but
he
does
not
represent
the
palm
springs
of
2021
and
the
statue
should
go.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Thank
you
city
clerk,
and
if
I
can,
because
I
see
a
lot
of
hands
raising,
we
really
want
to
be
thoughtful
to
provide
accommodations
for
anyone
needing
to
go
first,
people
with
disabilities
elders
in
the
community
who
might
need
this
additional
time.
So
it's
not
to
wait
many
hours.
So
I
see
many
hands.
A
Please
note
that
if
you
can
take
your
hand
down,
if
you
don't
need
to
speak
first
and
then
you
will
raise
your
hand
again,
so
let's
just
give
a
few
minutes
to
be
thoughtful
of
people
who
might
need
to
go
first
for
special
accommodation.
So
if
you
don't
need
that
at
this
time,
please
do
return,
take
your
hand
down
and
allow
those
people
to
go.
First.
Thank
you.
City
clerk.
G
E
E
C
A
part
of
our
history
that
wasn't
perfect
and
that
it
deserves
to
stay
as
it
is
and
that
this
this
history
that
happened
is
unfortunate
and
systemic
racism
does
exist.
Yes,
but
was
frank,
bogart
responsible
for
it
no
and
that,
if
something
needs
to
be
done,
maybe
there
should
be
monetary
damages
and
that's
one
way
to
handle
it
and
that
searching
a
man's
name
and
that
isn't
here
to
defend
himself.
C
H
H
H
I
implore
upon
our
good
council
members
to
vote
for
the
apology
and
to
vote
to
remove
the
statue
in
the
oh
about
20
years
ago
I
purchased
a
home
in
that
area.
One
night
I
was
walking
my
dog
across
a
vacant
field
where
homes
of
section
14
once
stood
and
there
in
the
darkness.
I
could
feel
under
my
shoes.
I
could
feel
the
foundations
of
the
homes
and
then
I
found
an
entryway
in
steps
leading
up
to
what's
what
what
once
was
a
family
home,
and
it
was
so
sad
it
was.
H
It
was
gut-wrenching
and
sickening
when
you
think
of
the
family
activities
that
took
place
and
all
and
then
juxtaposed
with
that
god-awful
scene
of
those
homes
being
torched
people
being
pulled
out
in
the
dead
of
night
in
the
dead
of
night,
with
no
warning
just
because
their
color
and
their
economic
status
didn't
fit
the
new
palm
springs.
It
was
disgusting
in
my
presence
mayor,
frank
bogart
used
words
like
coloreds
como's
queers.
E
C
The
hrc
report,
page
44,
basically
says
that
they
see
baker.
Voger
was
loved
and
respected
by
friends
and
family,
but
view
our
similar
beliefs
as
a
false
consensus.
It
goes
on
to
say
that
they've
heard
from
three
generations
raised
in
the
wake
of
section
14
who
have
a
different
reality.
Racial
oppression
amplifies
their
voice.
It
was
an
awful
time,
but
many
from
that
same
time
and
place
were
friends
with
bogert.
They
worked
with
and
supported
him.
They
had
a
different
reality
of
who
bogart
the
man
was.
C
They
knew
him
as
an
honorable
man
and
respected
him.
There
are
pillars
in
the
community
of
desert
highland
that
supported
frank,
mrs
cora.
Crawford
is
loved
by
many.
If
she
thought
bogart
did
not
care
for
her
community
or
was
racist.
I
don't
care
how
many
years
had
gone
by.
She
would
not
have
supported
boger
for
mayor
in
82.
C
Even
after
bulgart
was
out
of
office
in
68,
he
went
with
reverend
rollins
to
washington
to
continue
both
their
missions
to
secure
housing
for
residents
evicted
from
section
14.
berger
worked
with
lawrence
crossley,
a
black
city
pioneer
and
close
friend
of
bogart
voger
pushed
city
council
to
black
zoning
to
help
crosley's
development
proceed
quickly.
Bogert
said
due
to
the
housing
emergency.
At
the
present
time
we
have
to
lean
over
backwards.
He
also
said
if
someone
is
going
to
build
a
place
for
these
people,
it
should
be
good.
C
Charles
jordan
was
directly
hired
by
bogor
in
61,
even
when
it
was
unpopular
as
the
city's
first,
black
employee
and
resident
of
section
14
jordan
served
on
a
special
committee
created
by
bogert
to
assess
section
14
families
with
relocation,
bobert
loved
our
city
and
was
an
advocate
for
all
its
residents,
including
those
evicted
from
section
14..
Please
keep
the
statute
where
it
belongs
respectfully
submitted
don
mills
40-year
palm
springs
resident.
Thank
you.
E
C
Thank
you,
I'm
dealing
with
covid,
so
I'm
getting
over
kovitz.
I
appreciate
you
taking
my
time
now.
I
am
in
an
effort
to
save
time
I
will
read.
I
will
not
read
my
statement
that
I
previously
wrote,
but
rather
I
am
touching
on
on
to
that
and
that
I
will
say
describe
the
long
time
friendship
between
my
late
father,
richard
milanovich
and
mayor
frank,
voger,
and
please
know
that
these
are
my
words
and
my
families
has
nothing
to
totally
unrelated
from
the
try.
C
I
find
it
ironic
that
you
are
basing
this
decision
on
writing
the
wrongs
of
the
past
and
as
a
stand
against
racism.
You
have
heard
countless
stories
about
this
man
and
his
integrity
about
the
fact
that
he
was
not
a
racist
but
and
not
a
racist
man
but
in
fact,
a
friend,
a
husband,
a
family
man
and
a
champion
to
different
races
and
ethnicities.
C
Specifically
a
friend
and
champion
to
many
tribal
members,
you
are
debating
whether
or
not
to
relocate
a
statue
that
sits
in
front
of
your
workplace
in
front
of
palm
springs
city
hall,
the
same
city
hall
that
sits
upon
stolen
land.
Why
not
start
with
writing
the
ultimate
and
original
wrong
made
by
this
city?
C
The
city
uses
us
as
pawns
in
the
game
of
identity
politics,
but
cast
us
aside
when
we
are
of
no
use
and
do
not
fit
their
political
agenda.
Have
you
taken
my
father's
words
and
name
out
of
the
hrc
report?
As
my
family
and
I
requested,
have
you
listened
to
the
tribe
when
it
said
it
did
not
want
to
be
a
part
of
this
fight,
and
you
ask
and
ask
for
deceased
members
to
be
left
out.
C
You
have
not,
and
it
is
incredibly
disgusting
and
offensive
that
you
continue
to
use
our
name
and
speak
on
the
tribe's
behalf.
Make
no
mistake.
I
love
this
city.
This
is
my
home
of
the
home
of
my
ancestors
and
it
is
my
home,
but
I
love
it
because
of
the
strong
people
that
built
it
and
made
it
what
it
is
today
because
of
women
like
nellie
kaufman
women,
like
my
grandma
laverne
and
the
women
who
sat
on
the
next
to
her
on
the
first,
all
women's
tribal
council.
C
L
D
Individuals
relocate
my
parents
lived
on
the
reservation
at
that
time,
and
I
know
for
certain
he
did
not
do
anything
to
help
them
find
a
place.
My
parents
got
out
and
went
from
place
to
place
the
place
to
be
looking
for
somewhere
to
live,
and
I
certainly
believe
that
had
he
been
the
person
that
you
think
that
he
was-
and
you
are
sort
of
concerned
that
he
would
have
put
forth.
L
M
M
I
had
dinner
with
frank
and
his
family
two
to
three
times
a
month
in
my
home,
his
home.
I
rode
horses
with
him.
I
traveled
internationally
with
him,
and
I
know
he
was
a
friend
to
jews,
women,
blacks,
mexicans,
indian
asians
and
lesbians,
because
they
were
always
around
at
some
place
in
time
during
those
30
years.
M
I'm
offended
and
appalled
by
the
city
council,
and
especially
this
human
rights
council.
First
of
all,
his
name
is
not
bogart,
as
was
said
earlier
by
the
chairperson,
it's
beau
gert
and
thank
god
for
john
don
mills,
who
gets
all
the
history
right
of
how
he
tried
to
help
these
people
after
they
were
left.
M
But
one
thing
I
want
to
keep
in
mind
here
is
that
the
indians
had
a
25-year
lease
and
could
not
even
make
their
own
decisions
until
frank
bogger
went
in
to
help
them
and
went
to
congress
and
it
was
passed
and
in
1959,
dwight
eisenhower
signed
the
bill.
So
now,
what
are
all
you,
people
in
the
city
council
who
are
just
trying
to
be
me,
two
people
enjoying
the
league
of
saying
I
did
something:
you're
gonna
take
eisenhower's
name
off
the
hospital
you're
gonna
take
lucy
and
sonny
bono
off
the
main
street.
M
I've
lived
here
through
eight
mayors.
None
of
you
knew
him.
None
of
you
know
anything
about
him
or
his
accomplishment
you're.
Most
of
you
are
me
too
people.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
every
one
of
you
were
invited
to
navigate
home
to
meet
with
the
family,
and
only
one
person,
lisa
middleton
from
my
district,
even
went
to
talk
to
them
and
hear
the
truth
and
see
the
truth
in
that
family.
G
Good
evening
mayor
members
of
the
city
council,
I'm
doug
evans.
I
worked
for
your
pine
city
for
26
years.
I
got
to
know
mayor
boger.
I
got
to
know
the
chairs
of
the
tribal
council
viola,
ortner
pete
siva,
richard
milanovic,
ray
potencio
and
many
other
tribal
members,
all
strong
people.
They
are
the
indigenous
people
of
palm
springs.
G
I
hope
I
get
a
little
little
more
time.
The
optics
and
timing
of
what
you're
doing
tonight
is
absolutely
horrible
tribe's,
getting
ready
to
open
its
cultural
center.
The
record
that
the
human
rights
commission
put
together
is
absolutely
atrocious.
It's
loaded
with
heirs,
it's
internally
inconsistent.
It
draws
conclusions
that
don't
exist.
G
The
bureau
of
indian
affairs
has
been
been
mismanaging
indian
land
for
decades
torres
martinez.
Read
the
newspaper
articles.
What's
going
on
out,
there
no
leases
same
conditions
as
section
14
go
for
a
drive,
a
local
tribal
member
in
2004
finally
got
paid
by
the
bia
after
27
years
of
them
holding
money
before
you
call
something
racially
motivated.
You
have
to
ask
your
staff
to
get
the
facts
right.
G
G
Mayor
oden
had
an
opportunity
when
he
was
mayor,
he
laughed
and
joked
with
frank.
The
statue
was
still
here
and
mayor
odin
wanted
that
statue
moved,
something
would
have
happened,
tell
the
real
story
and
ask
the
hrc
to
do
their
mission
and
not
divide
this
city,
and
the
office
of
the
mayor
has
a
very
powerful
tool.
Mr.
N
Thank
you
opposing
section.
14's
redevelopment
is
an
attack
on
the
agua
caliente
tribe's
right
to
self-sufficiency
and
to
economic
prosperity.
Unsurprisingly,
the
human
rights
commission
disregarded
the
human
rights
of
the
agua
caliente
tribe
in
its
report.
The
tribe's
decades-long
struggle
for
self-determinism
sovereignty
and
for
the
right
to
develop
its
lands
is
a
core
element
of
the
section
14
story.
N
Yet
the
hrc
willfully
ignored
this
crucial
point.
In
order
to
claim
that
developing
section
14
was
about
white
privilege,
nothing
better
describes
the
section
14
story
and
specifically,
as
it
relates
to
race
better
than
this
passage
you
can't
eat
dirt
in
you
can't
eat
dirt
from
formal
tribal
chair
viola
ortner.
N
N
Degrade
due
to
onerous
laws
and
government
neglect
as
a
tribal
leader,
her
aim
was
to
turn
this
around.
She
addressed
the
current
inhabitants
and
subpar
living
standards
on
section
14
from
the
subjective
perspective
of
indians
as
minorities,
seeking
the
freedom
to
exercise
their
rights
and
create
economic
opportunities
for
themselves
and
their
children.
By
preparing
for
a
development
project
on
indian
land
that
was
conceived
and
executed
by
indians
for
her,
that
was
the
only
racial
dimension.
She
has
said
it
didn't
matter
what
color
skin
the
residents
had,
they
could
have
been
purple.
N
H
H
H
These
events
during
his
time
as
mayor
resulted
in
families
being
evicted,
their
homes
and
possessions,
destroyed
and
relocation
residents
to
the
outskirts
of
town
or
beyond.
Bogert
may
have
done
his
part
in
elevating
our
city
with
his
friends
in
los
angeles
and
hollywood,
but
that
elevation
came
at
a
very
real
cost
to
some
of
our
fellow
residents.
H
The
folks
looking
to
preserve
the
statue's
vocation
have
spent
tens
of
thousands
of
dollars
on
tv
advertising,
facebook
and
youtube
ads
and
now
even
yard
signs.
They
have
appropriated
the
image
and
good
name
of
some
of
the
people
who
were
victims
of
these
events
to
make
it
appear,
as
if
bogart
had
the
support
of
the
very
communities
that
were
targeted,
they
have
issued
press
releases
filled
with
false
allegations
and
questionable
facts.
H
H
E
Thank
you,
and
I
want
to
remind
everybody
if
you'd
like
to
participate
in
public
comment
tonight.
Please
raise
your
hand
if
you
look
on
the
bottom
ribbon.
You
should
see
the
button
that
says
reactions
and
you
can
see
the
option
to
raise
your
hand
and
if
you
are
joining
us
via
phone,
you
would
push
star
9
to
raise
your
hand,
and
the
next
speaker
is
sue.
O
O
The
hrc
plagiarizes
anecdotal
examples
of
anecdotal,
highly
subjective
statements
from
other
sources
and
presents
these
as
facts.
Secondly,
significant
portions
of
the
report
are
copied
they're
pasted
from
an
essay
written
in
2004
by
a
graduate
student
at
the
university
california
of
irvine.
This
graduate
student's
essay
is
cited
19
times
by
far
the
most
of
any
source.
In
the
report,
the
essay
uses
sensationalized
language
and
is
opinionated
review
of
section
14.
That
wouldn't
pass
any
journalistic
standards.
O
The
hrc
inserts
these
opinionated
sections
of
the
essay
verbatim
into
its
own
report
and
attempts
to
pass
these
sections
off
as
objective
irrefutable
facts.
Essentially,
the
hrc's
resolution
to
remove
the
statute
relies
primarily
on
a
college,
student's,
opinionated
essay
and
a
simplistic
assessment
of
section
14..
O
Lastly,
the
hrc's
failed
to
conduct
any
primary
research
when
drafting
the
report.
They
didn't
reach
out
to
any
members
of
the
triago
caliente
tribe,
the
bogert
family
palm
springs,
historical
society
or
anyone
for
that
matter.
Who
could
provide
an
accurate
account
of
section
14
or
refute
the
report's
claims?
The
report
is
not.
C
O
Hi,
I'm
a
I
just
retired
from
teaching
37
years
in
palm
springs,
unified
and
in
the
1980s
I
was
teaching
english
as
a
second
language
to
amnesty
students
over
at
palm
springs
high
school
at
night.
I
grew
up.
I
brought
a
group
of
my
my
class
minorities
who
were
trying
to
become
u.s
citizens
over
to
city
hall.
To
see
a
city
council
meeting
mayor
bogart
came
through
saw
us.
There
invited
the
whole
class
of
immigrants
into
his
office
and
welcomed
them
in
spanish.
O
Later
during
the
city
council
meeting,
he
had
my
whole
class
stand
up
and
welcome
them
to
the
city
of
palm
springs
and
wish
them
luck
on
their
attempt
to
become
citizens.
So
that's
my
major
encounter
with
frank
bogart.
I
also
want
to
point
out
maybe
it's
wrong
to
have
his
as
the
only
statue
but
I'd
like
to
see
what
I
know
about
lawrence
crossley
comes
from
frank
bogart's
book.
He
has
a
full
page
about
all
his
accomplishments.
G
Hi
everybody,
my
name,
is
bardo
boido
and
I'm
calling
to
share
support
for
the
resolution
for
the
city
of
palm
springs,
to
apologize
to
its
citizens
and
the
nation
for
its
racist
history,
specifically
citing
the
section
14
crimes
committed
by
the
ps
city
council,
including
ex-council,
member
and
ex-mayor
frank
bogart.
During
the
years
of
1965-1966,
the
city
blatantly
destroyed
homes
and
property
of
black
and
brown
citizens.
G
I'd
also
like
to
say
that
the
audacity
of
rich
and
white
citizens
denying
the
history
is
the
problem.
Your
denial
of
white
supremacy
maintains
its
insidious
agenda.
The
elite
have
wielded
their
money
muscle
for
too
long
and
need
to
accept
that
their
actions,
maintaining
the
glorification
of
racist
white
men
in
power
is
wrong,
especially
those
that
have
destroyed
the
lives
of
people
of
color
for
profit
for
segregation
for
blatant
racist
agendas.
G
Even
if
you
blame
native
americans
for
this
issue,
you're
still
blatantly
holding
up
racist
agendas,
we
no
longer
need
families
such
as
the
autry's
or
iphone
805,
whoever
that
was
and
other
wealthy
families
creating
hysteria
around
change
and
glorifying
blatant
tokenism
of
black
and
brown
bodies
and
whites,
trying
to
preserve
white-washed
history
to
make
y'all
look
better.
I'd
also
like
to
say
that
a
platform
like
zoom
is
a
way
to
assess,
as
as
a
way
to
assess
the
citizens
of
palm
springs
as
racist
and
privileged
y'all
need
to
wake.
The
up.
G
E
P
P
P
Q
City
clerk
mejia
and
thank
you,
human
rights,
commission
and
palm
springs
city
council
for
this
opportunity.
Thank
you
for
not
only
the
opportunity
for
letting
me
speak
today,
but
for
recognizing
that
palm
springs
has
a
history
that
was
not
all
glitz
and
glamour,
but
it
has
done
some
hindering
and
hurting
for
centuries.
Minorities
have
faced
numerous
injustices
being
treated
unfair
and
looked
down
upon
by
others
in
our
country
in
society
all
throughout
our
country.
Over
the
past
few
years,
we
have
seen
america
help
to
heal
people
by
getting
rid
of
statues.
Q
Here
we
are
now
in
the
small
city
of
palm
springs,
doing
what
the
rest
of
america
is
doing,
which
is
helping
people
to
heal.
My
family
moved
to
california
back
in
the
mid
1900s
to
find
a
better
place
to
live
and
a
better
way
of
life
upon
making
it
to
california
from
the
south.
My
family
realized
real,
quick.
There
were
racial
issues
here,
but
that
didn't
stop
them
from
becoming
great
citizens
and
paving
the
way.
I
am
not
here
today
to
speak.
Q
Shame
about
anyone
or
anything,
even
though
my
family
has
felt
shame
for
many
years
from
our
city.
I
am
here
to
speak
about
how
we
can
make
healing
work
for
all,
but
I
do
want
to
speak
on
behalf
of
my
grandmother,
cora
crawford,
who
stated
in
a
report
given
to
the
palm
springs
historical
society
by
way
of
recording
her
voice.
She
said
that
she
would
have
nightmares
of
waking
up
in
the
middle
of
the
night
about
her
home,
possibly
being
destroyed
or
bulldozed.
Q
Now,
friends
of
bogart
used
my
grandma's
picture
and
words
that
came
from
my
grandmother
without
getting
my
family's
consent
and
said
that
she
worked
and
supported
bogart.
Now
that's
a
slap
in
the
face
to
our
family
as
a
story
as
I
recount
for
my
grandmother,
was
not
in
support
as
vulgar
was
on
the
council,
when
we
and
my
when
my
family
was
pushed
off
section,
14,
not
giving
relocation,
assistance
or
able
to
purchase
land
because
they
were
black,
not
only
that,
but
they
were
not
able
to
secure
alone
because
they
were
black.
Q
I
I
I
feel
strongly
the
human
rights
commission
and
the
palm
springs
city
council,
though
possibly
with
good
intentions,
are
vilifying
a
very
esteemed
former
mayor
and
city
council
member
who,
with
the
very
best
intentions
and
interests
of
the
gagwa
caliente
tribe
and
the
city
of
palm
springs,
contributed
to
the
eviction
of
many
people.
Many
black
people
and
many
people
of
color
from
the
downtown
land
known
as
section
54.
I
I
I
E
P
P
My
aunts
were
servants
cleaning,
and
then
they
hear
this
vulgar.
They
say
something
about
who
he
represented
and
what
he
did.
It
wasn't
us
and
I
can
attest
to
how
people
had
to
move,
were
forced
out
burnt
out
from
the
area
where
they
live.
They
couldn't
even
get
loans
from
palm
springs.
I
worked
for
the
savings
alone.
P
H
Yeah
hi
mark
temple
long-term
resident
here
in
palm
springs,
I'm
in
favor
of
keeping
the
statue
and
I
kind
of
have
three
points
to
make
one.
I
knew
frank,
bogart,
socially
and
professionally
for
many
years,
and
I
found
him
to
have
a
man
of
great
character
and
love
of
all
people,
regardless
of
their
background,
race,
ginger
or
gender
sexual
orientation.
I
mean
even
religion,
I
mean
you
just
you
know,
love
people.
H
H
All
the
way
through
so
I
mean
obviously
he's
is
the
memories,
and
I
think
third,
I
want
to
just
say,
look
at
his
civil
involvement
and
you
know
so
many
boards
city
council,
mayor
those
were
non-paid
positions
until
the
mid-1980s
and
he
probably
served
civilly
in
palm
springs,
50
or
60
years.
I
don't
think
anybody
ever
has,
or
anybody
probably
ever
will
be-
that
involved
in
a
community
for
all
the
things
trying
to
do
so.
H
I
think
he,
I
think
it
is
appropriate
that
there
is
the
honor
for
him
and
we
hope
we
keep
it.
There's
definitely
issues
here
that
need
to
get
resolved.
We
have
both
sides,
it's
sad
to
hear
all
the
sides
and
the
arguments
and
you
know
finger
pointing,
but
I
just
think
this
one
is
a
little
misguided
and
I
hope
that
we
can
heal
the
city
and
also
save
the
statue
here
too,
and
recognize
the
man
for
all
that
he
did.
Thank
you
very
much.
H
E
You-
and
I
do
want
to
remind
everybody
that
if
you
do
need
closed
captioning,
it's
available
on
channel
17
on
spectrum
also
on

This
report
is
riddled
with
factual
inaccuracies.
If
anybody
on
the
council
will
go
and
look
at
frank's
friends
of
frank
bogart.org,
you
will
see
facts
for
themselves
and
all
of
you
that
are
saying
most
of
what
you're
saying
is
hearsay.
It
is
not
factual
how
many
of
you
that
are
coming
against
him
even
knew
the
man.
I
think
some
of
this
started
when
jenny
vote
in
july
of
2620.
C
She
went
to
the
desert
sun
with
a
valley
voice
and
reference
to
this
right
in
the
middle
of
the
george
floyd
debaco,
all
of
a
sudden
she's
concerned
that
frank
bogart
is
a
problem
and
that
section
14
is
a
problem.
What
I
want
to
say,
where
was
she
when
they,
when
the
palm
springs
city
did
a
tribute
for
frank
bogart
and
when
steve
poine
says
a
lot
that
he
this
is
a
loving
tremendous
personality
that
represents
palm
springs
more
successfully
than
anyone
can
imagine.
She
sat
next
to
poignant
when
he
said
that
ginny.
C
When,
where
were
you
and
why
didn't
you
say
anything
for
all
the
years
that
you
sat
on
city
council?
Why
didn't
you
bring
it
up,
then?
Why
is
it
so
convenient
during
george
floyd
and
blm?
This
is
so
political
and
I
have
a
strong
feeling
that
you,
council
members,
have
already
made
up
your
mind,
and
this
is
a
waste
of
time
and
I'd
love
to
know
how
many
letters
you
got
from
people.
That
said,
we
want
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Q
Q
Q
We
know
it
does,
and
it
doesn't
just
sit
on
the
heels
of
the
former
mayor.
This
is
a
town
that
needs
to
change
the
culture.
This
is
a
valley
that
needs
to
change
the
culture,
because
a
lot
of
people
come
from
all
over
the
country
to
the
coachella
valley
to
palm
springs,
particularly,
and
they
don't
feel
there's
a
welcoming
map
for
them.
Q
C
Is
renee
brown
and
I
was
born
and
raised
in
palm
springs?
I
am
also
the
associate
curator
and
the
director
of
education
at
the
palm
springs
historical
society,
but
today,
I'm
speaking
as
a
citizen,
I
am
in
favor
of
preserving
the
statue
of
frank
bogart
in
front
of
the
city
hall.
I
also
want
to
take
issue
with
the
historical
accuracy
of
the
hr
report.
C
There
is
also
a
rebuttal
to
that
report
that
I
cannot
find
on
the
city
in
on
the
city
side
at
all,
which
could
be
a
violation
of
the
brown
act.
I'm
not
sure
the
bottom
line
is
anytime.
You
look
back
in
time
in
the
united
states
of
america
you're
going
to
see
racism,
people
in
communities
have
made
decisions
based
on
their
own
bias
and
their
own
biases
on
racial
or
class
from
the
inception
of
this
country.
C
It's
too
bad.
We
can't
all
understand
that
we're
all
the
same,
underneath
our
skin,
to
understand
the
the
issues
involved
in
section
14,
you
have
to
understand
the
complexities
of
all
the
stakeholders,
that
was
the
department
of
interior,
the
bureau
of
indian
affairs,
the
awa
caliente
band
of
kuwait,
indians,
individual
tribal
members
who
were
allotted
the
different
properties,
the
renters.
Nobody
was
a
homeowner
there,
except
for
the
tribe.
Somebody
used
that
term.
Nobody
was
a
homeowner
except
for
the
tribe.
L
L
L
L
C
C
Reputation,
especially
people
who
never
even
knew
him,
the
the
the
section
14
was
owned
by
the
tribe.
So
anybody
who
built
a
house
on
there
knew
they
were
building
on
somebody
else's
land
from
the
get-go
and
as
far
as
people's
talking
about
people's
skin
color
being
a
privilege
or
not
unless
we're
all
born
in
the
a
family
that
has
exactly.
C
N
C
H
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
tom
kiley
and
I'm
our
family
has
been
here
since
1909..
They
say
to
take
a
measure
of
a
person.
You
need
to
walk
a
mile
in
their
boots.
Well,
I
never
walked
a
mile
in
frank
bogart's
boots,
but
I
sure
wrote
on
horseback
on
many
incredible
trails
to
some
magnificent
places
that
most
of
you
have
never
been
to
and
probably
will
never
ever
see
again.
H
H
But
you
don't
even
scores
of
people,
unlike
you
who
knew
the
man
and
actually
lived
here
during
the
times.
You
now
question
have
repeatedly
asked
for
the
opportunity
to
engage
in
a
meaningful
discussion,
but
you,
those
of
you
who
we
elected
to
be
open
and
transparent,
limit
the
truth
and
the
truth-tellers
to
a
two-minute
public
comment
in
a
kangaroo
court
that
really
doesn't
seek
the
truth.
H
J
J
I'm
I'm
perplexed
by
the
fact
that
somebody
in
the
council
said
that
your
objective
is
unification,
and
this
is
about
the
most
divisive
activity
I
can
think
of.
For
somebody
whose
objective
is
unification,
I
moved
to
palm
springs.
30
years
ago
frank
was
one
of
the
first
people
I
met
and
over
the
next
20
years.
He
would
demonstrate
why
many
people
still
consider
frank
voger
to
be
among
the
finest
people
we've
ever
known.
J
Whoever
has
used
these
tactics
against
the
legacy
of
frank
bogart
deserves
to
be
rejected,
like
donald
trump,
claiming
that
frank
left
off
the
office
of
mayor
because
of
a
federal
investigation,
which
is
said
in
the
report,
is
a
complete
lie,
frank
left
office
to
care
for
his
wife
who
was
dying
of
cancer.
That's
the
truth.
I
was
there.
J
J
J
E
I
do
want
to
remind
everybody,
because
we
are
down
to
our
last
person
with
the
raised
hand
that
if
you
would
like
to
participate
in
public
comment
tonight,
please
raise
your
hand
depending
on
which
version
you're
on
it
may
be
under
reactions
and
then
the
button
for
raise
your
hand
or
it
might
be
under
participants
and
again
raise
your
hand
after
that.
We'll
do
a
final
call
for
anybody
who
can't
find
that
and
and
then
we'll
move
on
to
the
phone
calls.
A
Thank
you
cityquirk.
If
I
can
interrupt
just
noting
that
I
just
saw,
let
me
see,
let
me
find
her
carrie
allen
who
is
physically
raising
her
hands.
So
just
if
you
could,
as
you
do
the
zoom
hands,
if
you
could
then
provide
an
opportunity
for
anyone
who
might
need
to
physically
raise
their
hand,
really
raise
their
hand
like
we
used
to
and
then
we'll
go
to
the
phone
speakers.
If
you
can
please
thank
you.
K
K
My
high
school
had
a
race
riot,
not
I'm
I'm
actually
asian,
I'm
not
white,
but
I'll.
Tell
you
my
reaction
to
that
riot
was
back.
Then.
I
never
asked
anybody
any
of
my
black
friends
why
you
were
writing
what
was
wrong.
What
were
you
so
angry
about
when
the
black
lives
movement
started
really
became
a
national
movement?
A
couple
of
years
ago
I
was
really
touched
by
the
fact
that
so
many
white
and
brown
folks,
young
young
people,
marched
with
their
black
brothers,
their
friends,
their
teammates.
K
K
You
know
that
we're
in,
like
I
said
I
didn't
know
the
man,
I
don't
doubt
that
he
was
good
in
many
ways,
but
the
fact
is
that
you
know
he
was
mayor
and
he
at
a
time
when
there
was
a
lot
of
pain
and
anguish
when
section
14
happened
now.
Let
me
just
kind
of
close
by
saying
this
is
that
having
a
statute
of
yourself
removed
post-mortem
is
probably
not
as
painful
as
having
your
home
raised
and
being
made
homeless
because
of
this
color
of
your
skin.
O
Okay,
thank
you
good
evening.
I'm
kerry,
dao
allen
and
I
have
been
a
citizen
of
palm
springs
for
58
years.
My
husband
and
I
were
recruited
to
come
to
palm
springs
to
be
taking
care
of
all
the
departments
of
therapy
at
desert
hospital.
Two
years
later,
my
husband
joined
the
rotary
club
of
palm
springs,
where
he
met
frank
bolger,
frank
boger
was
that
charter
member
of
that
club.
In
that
club
there
were
brothers
rotarian
brothers
that
were
black
jewish
brown
white,
and
that
is
what
rotary
was
all
about.
O
O
He
introduced
me
at
a
luncheon
of
500
people
as
his
adopted
chinese
daughter
from
there.
Not
he
called
me
ihita.
I
served
four
years
on
what
was
called
human
relations
commission.
During
those
days
I
actually
had
to
be
investigating.
We
used
to
have
discrimination,
complaints
filed
to
our
commission
and
I
had
to
go
and
investigate
large
employers.
O
All
sorts
of
things,
and
I
used
to
get
a
little
bit
rattled
at
my
young
age
and
frank
encouraged
me
always
to
continue
my
search
to
find
the
truth,
to
make
sure
that
equality
was
something
that
we
practiced
in
palm
springs.
He
continued
to.
He
encouraged
me
to
continue
serving
palm
springs.
Then
I
served
seven
years
on
the
planning
commission
doing
this
last
year.
O
I
Thank
you
mayor
and
city
council
members
and
commissioners
of
the
hrc.
I
stated
my
name
is
a
model,
a
long-term
residence
of
60.
Since,
since
the
early
1960s
I
say
no,
the
removal
of
the
statute
dedicated
to
frank
bogart
by
the
residents
of
palm
springs
city
council,
had
a
responsibility
to
fact
check
each
item.
The
hrc
report
presented
to
the
council
to
accept
hrc
report
as
written
and
submitted,
is
a
clear
indication.
I
The
city
council
is
not
acting
in
the
best
interests
of
the
residents
of
palm
springs
or
the
city
city
council
has
a
duty
and
an
obligation
to
assure
all
reports
that
are
submitted
to
the
used
to
be
used
by
city
council
should
be
verified
by
their
staff,
and
all
points
stated
in
the
report
are
factual.
Decisions
should
strike
every
lie.
I
Every
false
statement
made
an
unsubstantiated
report
submitted
by
the
hrc
about
frank,
bogart,
fedor
duzos
are
failure
by
the
city,
council,
civic
duty
and
responsibility
of
their
position
and
the
promises
they
made
to
the
prop
residents
of
palm
springs.
How
can
we,
the
people
and
the
residents
of
palm
springs
ever
trust
the
city
council
members
on
any
issue
if
they
rubber
stamp
such
a
faulty
hrc
report
as
a
true
and
factual,
the
city
council
has
an
obligation
for
the
residents
of
palm
springs
to
assure
and
make
corrections
to
the
hrc
report.
I
They
should
leave
the
statue
and,
if
they
truly
wish
to
be
of
service
to
the
minority
community,
then
go
ahead
and
invest
in
the
desert
heights
in
the
states
area
and
install
the
much
needed
restrooms
at
the
james
o'jesse
park,
which
they
have
been
asking
for
the
last
five
years.
The
community
has
begged
for
it.
They
would
benefit
in
the
community.
All
of
residence
palm
springs.
Furthermore,
councilman
hazard,
you
should
recuse
yourself
from
the
vote
because
you
on
your
campaign
has
said
that
you
would
remove
the
statute.
I
O
O
No
one
is
disputing
your
interactions
with
frank
voger,
but
your
interactions
in
good
timing
with
frank
boner
are
not
the
interactions
of
the
people
that
lived
on
section
14
and
are
certainly
not
those
of
my
granny
and
many
other
relatives.
The
association
of
the
statue
represents
communities
within
palm
springs
that
are
expanding.
A
lack
of
generational
wealth.
The
playing
field
has
not
been
leveled
has
not
been
leveled
and
still
isn't.
E
M
Yeah
hi
everybody,
my
name
is
rick
smith
and
we
moved
to
palm
springs
in
about
february
of
1959
and
finished
high
school.
I
I
guess
I
must
have
been
pretty
prejudiced
because
I
ran
around
with
the
pete
alexander,
the
ray
roberts,
the
roy
crawford's,
oh
and
willis
edwards,
who
later
on
became,
I
guess
southern
california
representative
in
a
naacp,
you
know
so
I
I
don't
know
it
seemed
like
we
were
pretty
assimilated.
M
I
just
know
one
thing:
it
just
seems
like
I'm
sorry,
but
this
seems
like
a
kangaroo
court.
I'm
I'm
not
prepared
because,
as
I
listen
to
this,
it
is
a
kangaroo
quarter.
Decisions
have
been
made
without
input
without
true
input
and
stuff,
like
that.
If
I
had
my
way
what
I
would
do,
I
would
go
back
to
those
50
60
years
ago.
Put
everybody
back
in
that
situation
and
leave
them
there
and
see
where
it
would
be.
There
wouldn't
be
any
j
and
james
jesse
was
one
of
the
guys
too.
M
There
wouldn't
be
any
james
jesse's
a
place
center
out
there.
There
wouldn't
be
a
lot
of
that
stuff.
Now,
when
I
hear
people
complain
all
that
stuff
and
and
complain
that,
there's
that
the
the
things
aren't
right
go
in
your
neighborhood
and
clean
it
up
those
guys,
a
couple
of
them
that
I
mentioned
at
least
three
of
them
are
dead
because
of
drug
abuse.
Go
in
your
neighborhood,
take
care
of
your
own
families
and
stuff
like
that.
As
far
as
the
cough
or
grandmother,
why
wasn't
family
there
to
help
her
move
someplace?
M
There
was
plenty
of
time
and
that's
this
number
misnomer
about
people
lost
their
homes
and
their
property.
They
didn't
own
property
that
was
already
mentioned,
but
all
of
that
stuff,
it's
just
a
shame,
go
take
care
of
tonight
or
go
take
care
now,
leave
prank
bogar
alone.
He
did
a
lot
for
our
city.
Listen
to
the
news!
Listen
to
all
that
stuff
quit
all
this
hrc
stuff
of
people.
Never
you
haven't
even
been
here.
You
haven't
even
been
here
your
newcomer,
this
david
winer
is.
M
I
want
I'm
sorry,
but
I
hear
whining
I
hear
whining
and
the
community
activists
go
in
that
go
in
the
neighborhoods
and
clean
it
up.
If
you're
an
activist,
that's
what
I
say
anyway,
I'm
sorry
I'm
just
I'm.
This
is
just
real
anxiety
and
perturbing
like
it's
a
kangaroo
court.
I'm
sorry,
but
thank
you
for
letting
me
talk.
Thank.
I
I
I
believe
that
apologies
are
long
overdue
and
should
have
been
done
years
ago.
I
believe
we
should
relocate
the
statute
to
a
non-city
property.
The
statute
being
removed
and
apologies
are
just
symbolic.
I
want
to
see
reparations.
In
addition,
the
city
of
palm
springs
kept
no
official
records
of
the
persons
displaced
and
the
residents
destroyed
in
section
14
and
could
offer
no
evidence
of
any
attempt
at
determining
that
each
homeowner
and
resident
had
been
properly
served
with
eviction
notices
as
a
1968
attorney
general
report
states.
I
The
city
of
palm
springs
is
not
only
disregarded
the
residents
of
section
14
as
property
owners,
taxpayers
and
voters
palm
springs,
ignored
that
the
residents
of
section
14
were
human
beings
documenting
the
report
were
instances
of
homes
valued
from
thirty
four
hundred
dollars
to
eight
thousand
dollars.
Median
homes
in
palm
springs
today
are
worth
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars.
We
lost
generational
wealth
and
not
just
from
our
residential
homes,
but
also
from
our
institutions
like
first
baptist
church,
which
were
first
located
on
section
14.
I
Q
Hi
everyone
I'm
good
good
evening.
First
and
foremost,
I'm
I'm
30
years
old
and
I
don't
know
very
much,
but
I
do
know
what
my
grandma
has
told
me.
My
grandma
came
here
and
moved
here
and
lived
on
section
14.,
my
grandma,
I
remember
being
a
little
girl
and
my
grandma
telling
me
stories
about
how
they
were
uncertain,
of
where
they
were
gonna
go
when
they
got
those
notices
they
had
to
pick
up
whatever
they
could
and
just
move.
Q
No
one's
asking
you
to
get
rid
of
this
after
in
total,
we're
just
asking
you
to
move
it
somewhere
more
appropriate
to
move
it
somewhere
more,
I
I
would
say
better
for
the
community,
because
it's
a
slap
in
the
face
to
me
to
know
that
that's
there,
my
grandma
went
through
all
the
things
that
she
went
through.
My
grandpa
basically
was
here
from
the
time
that
you
know.
Q
Q
I
I
don't
know
much
of
the
real
facts.
I
do
know
that
I've
heard
the
report
criticized
as
being
factually
irrelevant
and
having
various
other
flaws.
I
would
urge
you
not
to
make
a
final
decision
until
you've
had
that
report
properly
fact
checked
corrected
where
appropriate
and
then
make
your
decision
based
on
the
report,
and
these.
Q
Good
evening,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
My
name
is
rasheed
crawford
and
I'm
in
favor
of
not
only
moving
the
bogart
statue
from
the
city
of
palm
springs,
but
removing
it
all
together.
Many
have
said
frank:
the
father
of
palm
springs
was
very
instrumental
in
bringing
change
and
excitement
to
palm
springs.
I
mean,
after
all,
he
had
the
voice
in
getting
the
california
angels
to
come
out
and
train
in
the
desert
and
championed
relocation
of
minority
families.
Q
I'm
sorry,
it
is
said
that
bogart
was
not
a
racist
and
I'm
sure
for
those
who
are
not
affected
by
his
actions.
He
doesn't
seem
to
be,
and
honestly
I
don't
know
the
man
enough
to
even
call
him
a
racist,
but
what
I
do
know
is
that
he
took
part
in
championing
the
relocation
of
minority
families.
Let's
talk
about
this
relocation,
if
we
can
call
it
that
evicting
and
burning
people
out
of
the
only
home,
they
knew
hardly
sounds
like
a
champion
move
to
me,
but
you
say
he's
done
so
much
more
than
that.
Q
Think
about
it.
If
I
gave
you
all
the
accolades
and
said,
but
you
don't
even
focus
on
the
good,
because
the
bad
is
so
etched
in
your
mind,
that's
all
you
can
think
about.
Imagine
the
bad
not
only
etched
in
your
mind,
but
a
visible
reminder
of
the
hurt
and
pain
someone
has
caused.
It's
almost
insulting
to
be
having
this
conversation
with
the
city
who
prides
themselves
on
inclusiveness,
but
at
the
same
time,
is
excluding
the
feelings
of
so
many
residents
that
physically
built
this
city.
Q
When
the
very
man
you
speak
of
james
o
jesse
risked
his
life
saving
a
child
so
where's
his
statue,
my
grandmother
that
you
spoke
of
actually
had
a
home
built
by
her
husband
because
of
the
hard
work
and
the
dedication
that
he
showed
to
her,
so
don't
discredit
what
those
that
were
displaced
and
moved
out
of
section
14
have
done
for
this
family
and
continue
to
do
for
this
valley.
We're
only
asking
for
you
to
they're
asking
you
for
them
to
move
the
statue.
I
say
crawford.
Take
yes!
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
I
I
She
built
a
four-bedroom
two-bathroom
home
from
the
ground
up
and
as
far
as
the
racism
and
the
bigotry
is
concerned,
she
could
not
secure
alone
anywhere
in
the
coachella
valley.
They
had
to
travel
all
the
way,
to
los
angeles,
to
secure
a
loan
to
build
that
house
and
when
building
the
house,
the
residents
in
that
neighborhood
ran
the
builders
off
my
grandmother
and
uncle
had
to
work
to
get
the
builders
to
come
back
and
complete
that
home
and
again
she
that
was
her
pride
and
joy.
She
built
that
home.
I
She
was
the
beginning
of
the
neighborhood
and
and
in
the
80s
she
had
to
come
back
to
the
table
and
fight
eminent
domain
because
they
wanted
to
come
through
there
and
take
the
neighborhood
that
was
built,
and
so
I
think
that
should
be
acknowledged.
I
think
there's
some
context
and
and
some
history
that
needs
to
be
understood
so
that
folks
listening
in,
can
understand
the
pain,
the
hurt
and
the
reasons
why
these
folks
see
that
statue
as
a
stain
on
not
only
the
neighborhood
but
palm
springs
itself.
Thank
you.
N
Thank
you
very
much,
I'm
actually
a
resident
of
palm
springs.
I've
lived
here.
My
whole
life.
My
family
have
been
here
since
the
1940s
and
I'm
reading
a
letter
tonight
on
behalf
of
my
father,
frank
purcell,
who
served
on
council
in
the
60s
and
70s
and
wanted
to
share
his
thoughts.
So
honorable
mayors,
honorable
members
of
the
city
council,
like
you,
I
had
the
honor
of
serving
palm
springs
as
a
councilman
and
mayor
pro
tem.
It
was
a
long
time
ago
the
late
60s
and
early
70s.
They
were
growth
years.
N
The
issues
were
many
and
like
you,
we
did
our
best
to
resolve
them
positively.
I
understand
that
consideration
is
being
given
to
removing
frank,
fogert's
statue
from
its
place
in
front
of
city
hall
on
the
charge.
That
frank
was
racist.
I
can
speak
to
that
charge
from
firsthand
experience
as
background.
I
grew
up
in
palm
springs
into
a
family
dedicated
to
public
service.
N
My
father
had
served
on
the
city
council
of
india
before
years
of
service
on
the
palm
springs,
school
board
and
the
city
of
palm
springs
planning
commission
in
1962
I
began
a
business
career
and
soon
became
involved
in
community
activities,
jc's,
rotary
chamber
of
commerce
etc.
As
well
as
the
city
of
palm
springs
planning.
Commission,
I
was
appointed
to
fill
a
vacancy
on
the
council
and
subsequently
elected
to
a
full
term
and
in
the
following
years,
continued
participation
in
various
roles.
N
I
offered
that
as
background
only
to
show
that
I
was
actively
engaged
during
the
period
of
time
in
question
and
actively
continued
continually
engaged
with
frank
bogart,
and
I
knew
him
well.
Frank
was
many
things
but
frank
was
not
a
racist.
He
could
be
direct
wrong
and
occasionally
bull
headed,
but
from
what
I
witnessed,
he
judged
people
by
their
character
and
not
the
color
of
their
skin.
On
the
council.
N
He
made
tough
decisions
as
you
do
and
he
tried
to
do
what
was
best
for
palm
springs
and
in
the
process
he
earned
friends
and
admirers
in
every
sector
of
our
society
a
number
of
times.
I
accompanied
frank
in
meetings
with
citizens
of
the
highland
gateway
community
frank,
had
many
friends
in
that
community
whose
respect
and
trust
he
had
earned
over
the
years.
From
my
perspective
for
palm
springs
in
those
years,
frank
was
a
gift,
the
right
man
at
the
right
time.
N
He
helped
put
palm
springs
on
the
map
while
working
to
keep
it
special
as
to
the
statue,
each
individual,
viewing
a
statute
interprets
its
meaning
based
on
their
own
life
experiences
rather
than
what
was
intended
by
the
creator.
Those
of
us
who
appreciated
frank's
many
contributions
to
our
community
view
it
as
a
handsome
reminder
of
a
unique
man
and
a
great
public
service.
I
hope
it
stays
in
place.
I'm
now
89
and
those
years
to
study
are
long
gone.
But
I'm
here
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
P
Good
evening,
city,
council
and
members
of
the
human
rights
commission,
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
speak.
I
am
in
favor
of
moving
the
frank,
bogart
statue
somewhere
else.
I
believe
that
the
folks
that
have
suffered
and
endured
the
atrocities
of
section
14
deserve
the
respect
of
that
request
and
I
also
believe
moving
forward
reparations.
H
H
O
My
name
is
sharon
applebaum,
I'm
a
50-year
resident
of
palm
springs.
I
still
live
in
the
same
house,
my
husband
bart
and
I
bought
when
we
moved
to
this
town.
He
cared
for
his
urology
patients.
I
raised
our
two
children.
We
were
active
in
our
community
bart,
served
on
the
tram
board
coached
little
league
in
soccer
tutored,
second
graders
at
agua
caliente
school,
and
I
served
on
the
planning,
commission
and
city
council
with
palm
springs
with
frank
bogart
in
palm
springs.
O
I
was
fortunate
to
serve
with
a
man
who
nurtured
palm
springs
from
the
time
he
arrived
from
colorado
with
a
string
of
horses,
a
camera
and
a
good
instinct
about
the
possibilities
for
what
in
the
1920s
was
a
backwater
country.
Town
frank
was
a
one-man
chamber
of
commerce,
photographing
celebrities,
sending
back
pictures
to
their
hometown
newspapers,
organizing
cowboy
rodeos
and
popular
events
like
desert,
circus,
frank,
put
palm
springs
on
the
map.
O
O
Frank
was
the
most
honest
man
I
have
ever
known.
He
was
not
always
the
most
polite
in
his
speech,
but
you
forgave
him
for
that,
because
he
had
so
many
other
good
qualities.
You
looked
beyond
that.
You
didn't
just
look
at
what
was
you
look
at
what
was
inside
and
it
was
deep
and
beautiful
and
we
loved
him.
O
C
Hello,
thank
you,
beautiful
people
of
palm
springs.
I
am
so
happy
that
we're
able
to
get
together
and
talk
openly
about
this
subject
that
we
need
to
be
talking
about
even
more.
But
now
is
the
time
for
our
city
to
turn
over
a
new
leaf
and
become
the
beautiful,
better
city
that
it
can
be.
There's
been
too
many
people
that
have
been
hurt
by
this
statue
being
a
symbol
of
oppression.
C
C
C
A
level
playing
field
an
opportunity
to
help
our
city,
our
city,
is
constantly
being
being
oppressed
by
this
statue,
which
doesn't
allow
the
beauty,
the
inner
beauty
of
palm
springs
to
shine
through
there's.
So
many
great
stories
in
this
community-
and
this
only
tells
one
side
and
art
is
here
to
tell
all
sides
of
all
the
story.
So
now
is
the
time
for
palm
springs
to
come
together
and
take
the
statue
down.
Thank
you.
C
Lot
of
interest
in
this
subject-
and
there
are
still
people
alive
who
were
born
on
section
14-
were
moved
off
of
section
14
and
could
add
so
much
perspective
for
the
entire
community
to
do
some
healing
and
learning
the
facts,
and
I
have,
as
the
president
of
the
palm
springs
historical
society
reached
out
to
the
council
on
two
occasions,
inviting
you
to
utilize
the
tremendous
resource
you
have
to
to
explore
the
history
fully,
and
I
think
that
would
be
an
opportunity
for
healing
rather
than
division.
So
I
call
your
attention
to
that.
C
E
Thank
you.
If
you
have
just
joined
us
and
you'd
like
to
comment-
and
you
know
how
please
raise
your
hand
and
if
you
don't
please
unmute
yourself,
as
I
can't
see
all
of
the
the
squares.
So
I
don't
know
if
you're
waving
at
me,
but
please
unmute
yourself
and
I'll.
Take
you
in
order
as
you
do
latoya,
you
can
go
ahead
and
begin.
C
Q
C
Relocated
from
section
14
and
I'm
also
a
member
of
the
first
baptist
church,
where
reverend
rawlings
was
my
pastor
for
the
first
15
years
of
my
life,
and
I
will
say
that
I
have
never
seen
mr
bogart
visit
as
a
friend
reverend
rollins
during
any
of
our
worship,
services
or
any
of
our
activities
or
meetings.
During
that
time,
and
that's
all
I
have
to
say.
I
E
E
M
M
And
those
of
you
who
knew
them
well,
if
reverend
rollins
showed
up
frank,
was
probably
on
his
way
out
the
other
door
so
to
use
him
in
a
commercial
yeah,
they
may
have
worked
together
on
some
things
in
the
city,
but
they
but
to
portray
them
as
people
who
genuinely
work
together.
No,
that
was
not
the
case.
M
M
M
A
A
N
Sorry
I
was
trying
to
mute
myself.
I
I
before
you
start
my
time.
I
do
feel
that
this
this
everyone
that's
testified
tonight
is
testified
in
a
really
respectful
manner,
and
I
really
would
like
you
to
see
if
you
can
block
out
rick,
because
he
is
so
offensive
to
everyone
that
has
spoken.
He's
made
terrible
hand,
gestures
and
he's
made
terrible
racist
comments,
and
that's
not
what's
been
on
this
on
this
dialogue
tonight.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
and
I
apologize
to
everyone
for
his
racism.
N
I
do
not
blame,
I
want
to
say
I
do
not
blame
frank
bogart
exclusively
for
what
happened
with
section
14.,
but
the
important
thing
here
is
that
frank
gogart
was
at
the
helm.
When
section
14
families
lost
all
they
had,
they
watched
as
their
houses
burned,
many
of
them
having
no
time
to
go
in
and
get
their
personal
belongings.
N
The
big
difference
is
that
frank,
frank
bogart
is
the
only
person
with
a
statue
in
front
of
city
hall,
and
that's
all
we're
talking
about
we're.
Not
talking
about
erasing
frank
from
our
history,
he
did
some
really
good
things
in
the
city,
but
he
did
some.
He
was
at
the
helm
when
some
really
bad
things
happen
in
the
city,
and
I
think,
when
you
balance
that-
and
you
look
at
what
happened
in
section
14
and
the
pain
that
we've
heard
tonight
from
the
families
and
descendants
of
the
families.
N
This
is
not
something
we
can
just
overlook.
Statements
about
the
accuracy
of
of
the
hrc
statement
is
reminds
me
of
the
current
situation
that
we
have
in
the
national
campaign,
where
the
election
results
were
all
lies.
These
were
not
lies.
I've
spent
many
years
researching
this,
and,
and
there
is
many
quotes
in
there
it's
this.
If
it
was
licensed,
it
was
the
attorney
general's
lies.
It
was
the
lies
of
all
of
the
investigators.
N
E
E
Q
Q
Q
All
of
my
brothers
and
sisters-
and
I
were
born
here
in
palm
springs.
My
brother,
john
holland,
rode
horses
and
hung
out
with
frank
bought
a
lot
and
he
gives
frank
his
props
as
far
as
him
being
the
mayor
and
doing
a
good
job.
Doing
that,
I
can't
say
one
way
or
the
other.
He
just
happened
to
be
in
office
when
some
unfortunate
things
happened,
but
I
would
say,
remove
the
statue
because
it
looks
like
he
represents
the
city
which
he
does
from
and
he
and
he
does
some.
Q
He
does
not
I'm
kind
of
neutral
on
that
part,
but
as
far
as
having
people
move
and
their
houses
burned
down,
that
was
not
cool
the
way
they
went
about
it.
They
didn't
provide
any
reparation,
not
reparation,
but
relocation
money
for
these
people
to
find
somewhere
else
to
go.
So
that
part
is
still
painful
and
section
14
was
the
only
place
that
african-americans
could
live
back
in
the
day.
That's
how
we
ended
up
in
section
14.,
a
lot
more
needs
to
be
told
about
this
story.
I'm
currently
working
on
it.
Q
As
a
member
of
the
wellness
committee
for
the
last
seven
years
and
there's
many
people
still
living,
but
when
the
lady
from
desert
sun
asked
me
about
the
people
most
impacted
they're
in
their
90s,
if
they're
even
still
alive,
they
wouldn't
be
able
to
comprehend.
What's
going
on,
there's
very
few,
who
would
be
able?
I
have
a
friend
who
said
her
dad
would
probably
be
able
to
comprehend,
but
anyway,
this
is
an
ongoing
situation.
Q
It's
not
going
to
be
solved
in
one
meeting
and
in
this
meeting
tonight
we've
only
scratched
the
surface,
put
the
statue
somewhere
else
rather
than
in
a
place
where
it's
like.
He
represents
the
whole
city
because
he
doesn't.
But
I
don't
want
to
speak
against
him
because
I
didn't
know
him
personally,
but
my
brother
did
and
john
john
gives
him
his
props.
P
P
P
P
I've
followed
the
desert
sun
religiously.
For
that
length
of
time
I've
been
active
in
community,
at
least
listening
to
community
affairs,
and
you
I
you
all-
are
wasting
your
time
on
a
moot
point,
don't
point
a
finger
at
frank
bogart
and
do
not
disturb
history.
It's
a
beautiful
remembrance
and
honor
that
he
deserves
and
it
needs
to
stay
exactly
where
it
was
placed.
E
A
And
just
a
reminder
to
anyone
who
is
on
zoom,
you
can
physically
raise
your
hand
and
we
will
look
for
you.
We
very
much
ask
that
you
can
raise
your
hand
on
the
feature,
but
if
you
need
accommodations,
please
do
that
just
for
people
following
along,
we
are
getting
the
zoom
speakers
right
now.
Then
I'm
going
to
request
that
we
take
a
break.
Since
we've
been
at
this
for
two
hours
and
we
said
we
would
do
two
hours
of
zoom
public
comment
and
then
two
hours
of
phone
public
comment.
A
So
for
people
who
contacted
the
city
clerk's
office
ahead
of
time
to
give
public
comment
by
calling
in
by
the
city
clerk's
contacting
city
clerk's
office,
contacting
them
and
doing
public
comment
by
phone.
We
will
get
to
you
after
this
break
and
then
go
there.
So
thank
you,
city
clerk.
If
you
could
finish
up
any
additional
public
comments
on
zoom
before
our
break.
E
Certainly
so,
and
there
are
a
couple
people
who
are
getting
into
the
room
right
now:
okay,
so
one
last
call
because
I
don't
see
anybody
immuting
themselves
if
you'd
like
to
participate,
please
either
raise
your
hand
unmute
yourself
or,
if
you're,
on
the
phone
hit
star
six
and
that
will
unmute
yourself
wayne's
ipad.
You
can
go
ahead
and
unmute
yourself
and
provide
your
comments.
Q
I
Q
As
it
was
said,
they
showed
up,
the
houses
were
burned,
all
of
their
stuff
was
destroyed
and
they
had
to
move.
The
people
who
are
here
supporting
frank
bulgar
have
never
experienced
anything
of
this
nature.
If
you
came
home
to
your
home
and
it
was
destroyed
by
someone,
you'd
be
pissed
and
demanding
action.
Q
E
P
P
It
was
a
different
time,
frank
bogart
had
a
vision
and
that
vision
was
of
what
palm
springs
could
be,
but
he
found
himself
in
the
middle
of
times
of
terrible
prejudice
in
this
area,
and
and
I
don't
blame
the
people
who
feel
like
there
was
prejudice
against
them,
because
there
was
it's
just
that
frank
had
to
deal
with
it.
He
had
to
find
a
way
to
put
palm
springs
on
the
map
and
the
local
indians
wanted
to
make
more
money
for
their
tribe.
P
As
viola
ortner
stated
in
her
book,
you
can't
eat
dirt.
They
realized
they
had
to
clear
the
land
in
order
to
put
allow
other
buildings
to
go
on
there.
That
could
be
there
for
longer
than
25
years.
That
was
the
only
way
big
development
would
come
to
them.
So
we
have
two
factions
that
are
fighting
and
frank.
Bogart
represents
the
era
of
the
real
pioneers
coming
to
town.
P
E
A
A
D
Their
final
published
report
stated
that,
and
I
quote,
the
city
of
palm
springs
not
only
disregarded
the
residents
of
section.
14
is
property
owners,
taxpayers
and
voters.
Palm
springs
ignored
that
residents
of
section
14
were
human
beings.
This
was
the
california
state
attorney
general's
words,
not
mine.
D
The
two-year
investigation
showed
that
homes
of
black
hispanic
and
native
americans
were
burned
to
the
ground.
In
section
14.,
the
smithsonian's
national
museum
of
american
indians
wrote
a
piece
that
reads
that
from
1965
to
1966,
while
boger
was
serving
as
mayor
235
buildings
belonging
to
law,
abiding
peaceful
people
were
burned
to
the
ground.
D
D
A
Thank
you
city
clerk,
and,
if
I
could
just
note
for
the
people
on
the
zoom,
we
do
ask
that
you
remain
respectful,
like
everyone
got
an
opportunity
to
speak
and
no
one
made
thumbs
down
gestures
to
you.
Please
do
respect
be
respectful,
knowing
that
how
you're
responding
on
the
zoom
is
impacting
the
people
who
are
speaking,
who
can
see
you
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
has
a
fair
and
open
opportunity
to
be
heard
and
isn't
discouraged
from
speaking.
A
E
Q
I
apologize,
I
already
gave
comments,
I
got
disconnected
and
would
not
let
me
listen.
I
wasn't
trying
to
speak
again,
but
I
was
disconnected
and
I
was
trying
to
get
back
to
the
meeting
and
it
wouldn't.
Let
me
hear
so
that's
why
I'm
sorry
for
the
commotion,
but
I
already
spoke,
and
I
just
wanted
to
be
able
to
still
hear
absolutely.
D
D
D
It
would
be
so
much
more
beneficial
to
see
the
city
council
show
more
interest
and
support
in
being
for
the
whole
community
that
lives
here
by
keeping
the
statue
exactly
where
it
is,
harms
no
one
and
represents
someone
who
made
palm
springs
the
place
to
come
I'll
end
with
this.
It
would
be
impressive
to
see
you
show,
support
and
acknowledge
someone
who
received
a
statue
for
what
he
did
for
this
city
and
why
it
was
placed
in
front
of
city
hall
and
belongs
there.
E
D
Thank
you
good
evening.
I
want
to
say
that
I
believe
that
mr
burger
boger
was
probably
a
pretty
decent
man
and
a
public
servant.
However,
I
disagree
with
having
statutes
in
any
city
for
public
servants,
because
public
servants
are
public
servants,
whatever
they
do
accomplish,
while
they're
public
servants,
they
were
elected
officials,
and
I
do
not
agree
that
any
statute
should
be
in
any
city
for
a
former
elected
official,
so
I
agree
that
the
statute
should
be
removed.
D
Also,
my
understanding
is
when
he
was
mayor.
He
participated
in
some
form
of
gentrification
and
that
should
not
have
happened
in
the
city
of
palm
springs.
That's
about
diversity,
so
I
just
don't
think
it's
appropriate
to
have
elected
officials
have
statues
in
the
cities
it
makes
for
divisiveness,
and
I
think
it
needs
to
be
removed
to
remove
all
divisiveness
as
it
relates
to
the
city
of
palm
springs.
Thank
you
very
much.
D
D
D
D
D
The
removal
of
the
residents
from
section
14
could
have
and
should
have
been
done
differently.
There
is
no
way
to
change
the
past,
but
we
can
do
better
now.
So
I'm
asking
city,
council
and
the
human
rights
commissioners
to
let
our
minority
residents
know
they
may
not
have
mattered
then,
but
they
matter
now.
L
Okay,
my
name
is
david
christian.
I've
been
living
in
palm
springs
for
51
years.
I'm
addressing
just
one
of
the
many
lies
in
the
hrc
report,
because
I
knew
both
of
the
people
involved.
The
hrc
has
totally
misrepresented
crane
poker's
conservatorship,
with
his
long
friend,
easter
chairman
to
heart,
claimed
that
frank
was
quote,
found
guilty,
quote
close
quotes
of
feast
fling
by
the
department
of
the
interior
and
that
they
quote
ordered
all
improperly
gained
fees
held
in
trust
for
the
landowner
close
quotes.
This
is
absolutely
false.
L
Steven's
wife
bernadine
said
the
record
straight
in
a
recent
statement.
Quote
I've
been
reading
the
comments
about
frank
bogart
and
his
statue.
I
believe
the
statue
should
not
be
removed
or
destroyed.
Frank
was
an
honorable
and
honest
man,
my
late
husband,
peter
siva,
a
tribal
member,
told
me.
The
attorneys,
with
the
help
of
the
superior
court,
were
appointing
conservators
like
someone
in
an
orchard
picking
indians
like
picking
fruit
from
trees.
He
did
not
want
someone
to
take
his
estate.
L
He
had
known
frank
for
a
number
of
years
and
he
asked
frank
to
do
him
a
favor
and
take
over
as
conservator.
To
prevent
this
frank
said
you
don't
need
a
conservator
you're
smart
you've
got
your
father
and
you're
capable
of
managing
your
own
affairs.
Finally
frank
said
as
a
favor
to
you.
I
will
be
your
conservator.
L
He
really
did
not
want
to
be
associated
with
the
other
conservators
and
never
was
the
only
conservatorship
frank
had
was
my
husband
and
he
was
the
first
to
sign
off
as
a
conservative.
Close
quotes.
Courageously
frank
was
the
first
conservator
that
criticized
the
program,
even
though
he
was
still
the
conservator.
He
was
quoted
as
saying
the
following:
I've
always
been
for
the
indians
and
I've
been
against
the
conservators
because
most
of
them
haven't
done
anything
for
the
indian
frank
voger
was
not
a
racist.
Mr.
D
Good
evening,
my
name
is
karen
evans.
Allegations
that
frank,
bogart
discriminated
against
minorities
are
baseless
and
untrue.
Those
who
have
labeled
him
a
racist
or
bigot
should
take
dope
bogart's.
First
wife
janice
was
jewish
upon
her
death.
He
married
nagi
romero
a
mexican
citizen
from
san
miguel
de
allende.
D
He
loved
and
unconditionally
supported
a
gay
relative
and
later
on
in
his
life,
counted
members
of
the
gay
community
as
some
of
his
closest
friends
as
mayor
of
1984
bogart
declared
december
as
aids
awareness
month
and
was
quoted
as
saying,
I
think
there
is
a
need
for
everyone
to
be
aware
of
it.
I
want
to
help
those
guys
all
I
can.
D
He
was
given
the
golden
spur
award
by
the
mexican
chara
association,
the
first
white
man
to
ever
receive
the
honor.
The
palm
springs
mexican
colony
made
an
honor.
He
made
him
an
honorary
member,
and
a
quote
in
the
desert
sun
said
mexicans
relate
to
him
like
a
brother.
He
knows
the
history
of
mexico
better
than
they
do.
He
is
always
trying
to
make
them
proud
of
what
they
are
proud
of
their
culture.
D
He
counted
numerous
tribal
members
amongst
his
closest
friends,
including
richard
molanovich,
pete
siva
and
bernie
steva,
over
800
people
of
various
races,
sexual
orientations,
economic
classes
and
political
parties
attended
his
funeral
in
2009..
The
funeral
was
held
in
a
jewish
synagogue.
This
melting
pot
of
funeral
goers
was
a
microcosm
of
the
diverse
and
inclusionary
commit
community.
Karen.
E
L
Thank
you
very
much
good
evening.
My
name
is
gary
gray
and
I
first
I'd
like
to
compliment
the
folks
I've
seen
tonight,
testifying
that
have
done
it
with
respect
to
letting
everybody
have
their
opinion.
That
is
a
breath
of
fresh
air
in
the
world
we
live
in
today.
Thank
you
all
for
that.
I
lived
in
palm
springs
in
the
70s
80s
and
the
90s,
and
worked
with
frank
for
over
12
years
on
different
conservation,
land
use
issues.
I
always
admired
his
integrity,
honesty
and
straightforward
approach
to
politics.
L
You
always
knew
where,
where
he
stood
on
an
issue
and
frank-
and
I
did
not
always
agree
that
did
not
matter
to
frank,
as
he
was
always
willing
to
listen,
learn
and
change
his
mind
if
he
believes
you
had
a
better
solution
for
the
people
of
palm
springs,
frank
loved,
the
city
of
palm
springs.
In
my
experience
he
always
worked
for
and
in
the
best
interest
of
the
people
he
requests
he
represented.
L
E
D
Thank
you
very
much
I'll
keep
this
brief,
but
it's
very
clear
that
this
statue
is
offensive
to
many
of
our
residents
and
there
is
just
absolutely
no
good
reason
to
have
something
in
front
of
city
hall
that
alienates
this
many
people.
We
really
need
to
listen
to
black
and
brown
residents
and
frank
boger's
supporters
can
continue
to
enjoy
the
statue
on
private
property
at
smoke,
tree
ranch
or
bogut
trail.
D
D
The
hrc
memorandum
is
so
capitally
flawed.
The
conclusion
so
false
in
this
effort
to
denigrate
a
human
being
who
served
and
dedicated
75
years
of
his
life
to
community
from
pioneer
feelings
and
dirt:
gravel
sand
dunes
wagon,
with
mod
cattle
from
train
stations
1927
to
creating
a
real
airport
here
and
major
convention
center.
The
allegations
are
absurd
and
utter
nonsense.
I
have
a
notebook
full
of
copious
references
that
I
will
deliver
to
you.
I
think
you
all
simply
do
not
get
it.
D
My
stepdad
new
tribe
members
from
1945
was
well-known
life
and
trusted
indian
lion
conservator.
He
was
a
good
guy,
honest.
His
name
is
in
the
report,
which
I
will
include
in
my
long
detail.
Letter
to
paulo,
my
mother
from
about
1957,
was
lead
for
local
palm
springs,
business
and
professional
women's
organization,
which
many
aguetalianty
women
pride
members
attended.
D
I
do
too,
a
real
estate
company
was
the
most
inclusive
of
the
70s,
with
black
filipino
hispanic,
jewish
italian,
romanian
refugee
and
more,
I
know
1959
a
lottie
every
other
square
mile
map,
the
fact
that
about
1955
oit
list
was
cut
off
so
that
many
born
after
1955
did
not
get
a
piece
of
the
pie.
I
know
about
section
14
having
many
school
friends
with
who
live
there
for
a
while
there.
I
have
a
testimony
from
one
who
explains
that
her
grandparents
arrived
in
1928
worked
in
service
industry.
D
They
are
hispanic,
had
two
or
three
houses
in
the
three
to
four
hundred
block
of
andreas,
which
now
would
be
where
the
casino
entrance's
loca
entrance
was
located.
She
pushed
me
that
her
grandparents
lived
there.
Her
parents
lived
there
and
when
the
neighbor
got
married,
he
moved
his
wife
with
his
wife
to
a
larger
home.
They
paid
eight
thousand
dollars
in
the
early
1950s
for
two
bedroom
one
bath
and
that
they
lived
in
for
a
while
and
when
they
had
more
children,
they
moved
and
bought
a
home
off
of
vermont
by
saint
tree.
D
C
C
C
C
E
C
D
C
Recommendation
to
relocate
the
freight
yogurt
sculpture
in
order
to
make
space
for
new
art
and
news
stories,
we
were
unable
to
move
forward
without
city
council
weighing
in
on
the
subject.
So
thank
you
to
the
human
rights
commission
for
bringing
this
issue
forward
again.
It's
important
to
remember
that
the
sculpture
is
part
of
an
art
collection
owned
by
the
city.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
installed
in
perpetuity,
nor
does
it
mean
that
the
gift
giver
or
the
artist
has
the
right
to
dictate.
C
Shown
that
art
in
public
places
can
and
should
change
when
a
public
sculpture
is
erected.
The
objects
reflect
a
community
at
a
certain
moment
in
time.
Public
sculptures
aren't
passive
objects,
they
are
active,
they
symbolize
power
and
they
affirm
a
master
narrative
monuments
and
memorials
aren't
memories.
They
have
motives,
they
are
historical,
they
are
not
history
itself
and
history
is
fluid.
Important
stories
from
our
past
are
constantly
being
recovered,
while
new
ones
are
being
made.
C
It
is
clear
that
some
histories,
especially
those
of
non-white,
settler
communities
in
this
region,
such
as
filipinos,
mexicans
and
african
americans,
tend
to
be
commemorated
inadequately
if
they
are
commemorated
at
all.
It
is
essential
that
the
council
supports
citizen
efforts
to
make
space
for
these
stories.
The
people
and
communities
that
support
relocating
the
sculpture
are
diverse,
but
they
do
not
have
the
deep
pockets
to
plaster
the
city
with
ads
on
lawns,
tv
or
the
internet.
C
I
would
hope
the
council
seeks
to
represent
the
spirit
of
palm
springs
in
the
21st
century,
one
that
is
diverse,
empathetic
to
and
representative
of
under
representative
voices
that
have
built
this
region
and
continue
to
make
our
community
thrive.
It
is
hopeful
that
this
challenging
conversation
is
happening.
The
next
step
is
for
city
council
to
stand
behind
your
commitment
last
year
tomorrow,
concerns
of
the
disenfranchised
in
our
community
and
take
action.
D
Thanks
I
was
born
and
raised
in
palm
springs.
I
work
in
palm
springs.
I
am
a
renter
in
section
14
and
I
am
in
full
support
of
moving
the
statue
of
mayor
bogart.
Proponents
of
the
mayor
will
have
us
believe
will
have
us
believe
that
he
didn't
unilaterally
have
power
to
stop
the
raising
and
destruction
of
homes
on
section
14.
and
yet
simultaneously.
D
He
is
somehow
the
primary
person
for
success
of
the
city's
modernization
and
development,
and
even
some
of
the
tribe's
own
legal
wins
have
been
attributed
to
him.
If
you
read
a
recent
palm
springs
life
article,
how
ironic
is
it
that
our
city
hall
emblazoned
with
the
phrase
the
people
are?
The
city
has
just
yarns
away
a
statue
to
honor
one
individual,
one
white
cisgender
straight
wealthy
man
as
part
of
the
ruling
elite
and
synthesis
embodied
if
I've
ever
seen.
One.
D
The
truth
is
the
story
of
this
beautiful
place
is
more
than
just
one
person
how
we
all
com
have
come
to
be
here
here
in
palm
springs
includes
all
of
us.
It
includes
mother
earth
the
land,
the
original
sewers
of
this
land,
the
kawia
people,
the
poor.
Folks
of
all
colors,
in
particular
the
working
class
black
mexican
filipino
chinese
folks,
who
labored
on
the
roads,
railroads
homes
and
hotels
of
what
we
now
get
to
benefit
from
the
only
lasting
truth
is
change.
D
If
we
aren't
changing
as
a
city,
if
our
values
who
we
honor
and
the
behavior
we
accept
from
people
doesn't
change,
then
we
all
might
as
well
be
dead,
mayor,
bogart,
his
friends
and
family
thanks
for
your
contributions
to
this
place,
but
you
do
not
own
this
city
or
our
values.
Your
history
is
one
of
many.
Your
stories
are
some
of
the
loudest
we've
heard
and
held
collectively
for
years
decades.
D
Thank
you
city,
council,
and
for
holding
this
joint
meeting
with
the
human
rights
commission
of
palm
springs.
I
live
in
cathedral
city,
I
am
I've
been
working
in
palm
springs
for
four
years
as
the
executive
director
of
desert
x.
I
am
speaking
today
as
a
private
citizen
and
someone
who
has
worked
for
20
years
in
public
art
as
a
means
to
advance
dialogue,
social
justice
and
effect
change
in
our
communities.
D
Since
the
1960s
cities
in
the
united
states
have
gone
through
decommissioning
processes
of
monuments
and
memorials
glorifying
people
who
perpetrated
crimes,
slavery
or
attended
secession,
this
review
process
of
our
legacies
and
injustices
is
not
new.
It
is
part
of
a
democratic
evolution
and
a
society.
Welcome
in
dialogue
and
questions
like
do
this
statues
do
this.
Does
the
statue
still
need
to
be
here
tonight?
The
city
of
palm
springs
is
considered
an
apology
for
their
role
in
the
destruction
of
section
14..
D
D
Good
evening
I
was
born
and
raised
in
palm
springs,
which
I
lived
on
section
14.,
my
family
as
well
as
other
families
were
displaced.
Some
family
homes
were
burned
down,
blacks
wasn't
allowed
to
live
anywhere
in
palm
springs,
nor
were
they
able
to
purchase
a
home
which
caused
a
hardship
to
many
families.
D
D
L
Hi,
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
disagree
with
removal
of
the
statue.
I
believe
that
trying
to
remove
it
is
not
a
really
good
way
to
do
public
history.
I
think
that
if
we
feel
it's
challenging
that
we
should
address
it
rather
than
just
erase
our
history,
I
also
think
that
it's
a
good
suggestion
that
people
have
made
that
maybe
a
statue
shouldn't
be
the
only
one.
There
there's
a
lot
of
people
in
our
history
of
our
city
to
put
forward,
and
maybe
they
also
deserve
a
spotlight
as
well.
E
D
D
D
L
Tonight
I
want
to
especially
commend
the
human
rights
commission
and
its
chair,
rhonda
hart,
for
this
very
enlightening
report
that
was
issued.
I
am
definitely
in
support
of
removal
of
the
statue
from
the
front
of
city
hall
and
I
have
been
somebody
who
has
been
coming
to
the
city
since
I
was
a
new
york
resident
three
years
ago
and
have
been
a
resident
for
the
last
seven
years
and
I
started.
L
S
L
Fellow
citizens
of
palm
springs,
who
decided
to
forsake
the
truth
of
a
good
man
to
accomplish
the
political.
While
I
do
not
mean
to
stray
too
far
subject.
I
want
to
make
my
opinion
clear.
I
have
no
issue
with
statues
being
taken
down.
They
are
not
someone
with
the
honor
and
values
as
a
quick
example,
I
have
no
issues
with
taking
statues
of
christopher
columbus,
agree
or
disagree.
You
are
entitled
to
your
opinion,
but
the
facts
and
legacy
of
columbus
have
been
skewed
for
many
years
to
hide
the
truth
of
the
man.
L
L
If
you
do
not
know
these
facts,
it's
not
your
fault,
but
those
who
wrote
many
of
the
history
books.
We
have
in
schools
and
social
stigma
to
keep
columbus
alive,
but
the
history
books
lied.
Now
you
are
lying
about
frank
boger.
You
call
him
a
racist,
but
he
himself
was
an
immigrant
from
argentina.
His
second
wife
was
mexican
and
he
personally
hired
the
first
black
employee
of
the
city
in
1961,
charles
jordan,
who,
for
the
record,
live
in
section
14..
L
He
said
he
was
anti-semitic,
but
his
first
wife
was
jewish.
I
am
also
jewish
and
I
have
many
fond
memories
of
frank,
one
of
which
is
being
at
his
house
and
him
showing
me
the
suit
he
picked
out
from
my
bar
mitzvah,
and
I
quote
his
goal
to
live
old
enough
to
see
it.
Sadly,
he
didn't
you
say
section:
14
was
the
duties
of
a
racist,
old
man,
yet
section
14
was
in
his
indian
land.
L
L
L
I
was
working
in
the
area
of
palm
springs
and
I
knew
I
knew
of
frank
bogart
from
my
dad.
My
dad
always
talked
very
highly
of
frank,
and
I
knew
that
he
was
a
good
horseman
and
I
always
wanted
to
meet
him
and
one
day
I
was
working
in
palm
springs
and
I
went
to
the
phone
book
and
I
looked
up
his
name
in
the
yellow
pages
and
I
called
him
up
and
he
answered
and
not
knowing
who
I
was.
L
I
told
him
that
I
was
a
big
fan
of
his
from
you
know
we
what
he
had
done
for
the
city
of
palm
springs
and
the
horsemen
that
he
was,
and
I
called
him-
and
I
I
talked
to
him
for
a
few
minutes
and
after
talking
to
him
for
five
minutes,
he
said
well,
why
don't
you
come
over
and
visit
me?
So
I
came
over
and
visited
me
him
not
knowing
who
I
was.
L
L
He
didn't
even
ask
you
know
what
who
I
was
or
or
what
he
just
invited
me
to
his
home,
and
I
was
so
gracious
and
then
from
the
point
on
we
just
became
best
of
friends
and
every
time
I
go
through
palm
springs,
I
think
of
frank
bogart,
frank
bogart
was
a
big
icon
in
palm
springs
and
and
to
my
belief,
in
my
opinion,
I
think
palm
springs
is
palm
springs
because
of
frank,
boulder.
He
was
in
my
lifetime.
I
will
never
know
a
man
like
frank.
L
L
Basically,
it
ties
in
with
the
fact
that
the
tribe
was
trying
to
get
out
of
poverty
and
they
had
only
been
able
to
release
their
lands
for
five
years.
Up
to
that
point,
and
I
became
25
and
aldrich
in
99
and
it
was
a
women's
council,
I
was
very
active
in
putting
it
all
together
and
going
to
washington
and
so
on
and.
L
Frank
bogart
who
helped
him
out
to
do
this
so
so
that
he
started.
He
wasn't
racist
when
it
came
to
the
tribe
and
also
actually
a
lot
of
the
people
who
lived
on
the
land
were
were
tribal
people
I
mean
even
for
iota
orca,
who
was
the
chairwoman
grew
up
there
and
her
father
had
a
little
business
there.
L
Now
the
thing
is
that
since
the
only
people
who
really
benefited
from
from
that
was
the
tribe
that
maybe
it
might
not
be
a
bad
idea
to
to
approach
the
tribe
and
when
it
comes
to
reparations,
get
some
of
the
casino
money
used
for
that.
So
that's
I
I!
What
I'm
concerned
about
is
seeing
as
emotional
and
how
divided
the
community
is
about
this.
I
hate
to
see
the
decision
made
by
the
comments
secretary
council.
I
think,
frankly,
I
think
your.
E
L
Yes,
this
is
bobby
gray.
I
I
am
a
member
of
the
friend
of
frank
boulder
and
I
would
like
to
take
offense
with
the
hrc
claim
that
frank
demonstrated
no
effort
to
address
the
harms
caused
by
the
eviction
in
section
14,
which
is
based
before
removing
the
statue
specifically
frank,
took
many
actions
to
address
the
harms
caused
by
the
evictions.
He
held
off
city,
coordinated
relocation
to
eviction
for
six
years
after
becoming
mayor,
despite
pressure
from
others
in
the
community,
the
desert's
son
reported
that
he
worked
tirelessly
to
seek
low-cost
housing
for
displaced
residents.
L
He
secured
fha
housing
certificate,
which
provided
relocation,
grants
for
financing
for
displaced
residents.
He
pushed
for
several
privately
funded
low-cost
housing
projects,
including
that
of
warren
crosby,
a
black
pioneer
in
the
community
and
a
close
friend
of
his.
He
delayed
evictions
for
six
months
and
61
to
allow
430
families
to
find
housing.
L
He
created
multiracial
citizens,
committees
consisting
of
members
from
the
black
community
to
assist
with
relocation
efforts
to
communicate
the
city
and
tribe
relocation
plan
with
those
residents.
He
enacted
a
bond
program
in
61
to
purchase
the
land
that
would
partially
be
used
for
low-cost
housing
for
evicted
residents.
He
ensured
that
the
city
complied
with
all
local
state
and
federal
regulations.
L
E
A
Thank
you,
city
clerk.
Thank
you
for
your
work,
contacting
everyone
on
the
list
and
who
wanted
to
speak.
We
really
appreciate
your
hard
work,
leading
us
through
this
and
calling
on
everyone.
So
we
are
almost
out
for
three
and
a
half
hours
four
hours
of
this
meeting,
and
we
said
that
that's
the
time
that
we
would
dedicate
to
public
comment.
A
I
know
that
new
people
might
have
joined
us
on
zoom,
so
no
one
is
able
to
speak
twice,
but
if
you
have
recently
joined
on
zoom
or
you
would
like
to
give
public
comment-
and
you
are
in
the
zoom
meeting,
this
is
your
last
opportunity
to
raise
your
hand
on
the
zoom
feature.
If
you're
on
phone,
you
can
press
star
9
to
raise
your
hand
or
you
can
physically
raise
your
hand
if
you
need
help
to
speak,
so
I
just
want
to
give
one
last
opportunity.
A
This
is
the
meeting
where
council
is
hearing
from
the
community
and
discussing
these
issues.
We
chose
to
have
a
zoom
meeting,
unlike
all
of
our
other
council
members
meetings,
so
it
would
be
more
like
meeting
in
person
because
we,
the
council,
did
think
that
this
was
important
to
see
people
who
wanted
to
be
here.
So
just
for
the
comments
that
this
is
a
kangaroo
court.
This
is
the
public
meeting
where
we're
having
a
transparent
and
fair
process
where
people
can
be
heard.
A
E
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
for
calling
I
wanted
to
provide
a
few
quotes
from
an
article
written
last
week
by
palm
springs
life
magazine.
It
is
a
fair
and
impartial
profile
of
ogre
and
highlights
the
good
and
the
bad
of
this
city
pioneer.
This
was
written
by
a
writer
who
never
knew
burgers
and
interviewed
people
on
both
sides
of
the
statue
debate
here
are
a
few
quotes
from
the
article
asked
10
people
what
bogart's
biggest
accomplishment
was
and
you'll
get
15
different
answers.
D
He
forged
lifelong
friendships
with
tribal
council
leaders,
viola
ortner
and
richard
milanovich,
as
well
as
fellow
elmira
door
workers,
lawrence
crossley
palm
springs.
First,
black
resident
and
tony
prieto,
a
member
of
the
mexican
colony,
which
made
him
an
honorary
member.
The
unfiltered
booger
was
a
viable
scapegoat.
Despite
the
fact
that
he
had
no
power
to
act
unilaterally,
especially
when
it
came
to
the
tribe
sovereign
lands,
ortner
may
have
summarized
it
best.
It
didn't
matter
what
color
skin
the
resident
had
the
issue
was.
This
is
our
land
and
we
have
a
right
to
develop
it.
D
A
change.org
petition
has
garnered
more
than
2
900
signatures
short
in
its
5
000
signature
goal,
david
weiner,
who
drafted
the
word
provocatively
petition
that
he
himself
admits
evoked
a
certain
response.
Important
to
note
in
that
last
fourth,
mr
weiners
admits
he
purposely
sensationalized
his
petition
to
evoke
a
certain
response.
Not
only
is
the
language
and
the
petition
inflammatory
there
are
many
lies
in
it
as
well.
Please
read
the
profile
on
both.
This
is
the
man
whose
legacy
the
human
rights
commission
and
this
city
council
are
now
choosing
to
tarnish.
E
E
G
Yes,
thank
you
so
much
a
little
late
joining
in
tonight.
But
from
what
I
heard
it
was
very
encouraging,
and
I
thank
you
all
for
spending
four
hours
of
your
time.
Listening
to
this
you're,
probably
all
familiar
with
this
book
pumpkin.
First
one
of
the
years
written
by
frank,
bogart,
I'm
a
lifelong
resident
of
palm
springs.
G
So
she
introduced
me
to
him
and
that's
when
I
met
frank
when
I
was
a
junior
in
high
school
and
she
told
him
right
off
the
bat
that
I
was
gay
and
he
didn't
seem
to
care,
didn't
bother
him
at
all.
So
we
knew
frank
and
he
was
a
wonderful
nice
man.
He
was
very
warm,
loving
down
to
earth
and
I
for
one
believe
that
the
statue
should
remain
where
it
is
because
no
man
did
more
for
palm
springs
than
frank
bogut.
G
E
E
E
A
A
So
seeing
none,
we
gave
instructions
to
cj
to
call
city
clerk,
call
the
city
clerk
and
call
city
hall
if
they're
able
to
so.
We
will
take
that
comment
if
it
comes
in
otherwise
seeing
no
public
comment
and
giving
ample
time
for
people
to
raise
their
hand
or
or
be
called
on,
we
will
go
ahead
and
close
public
comment.
Thank
you
very
much
to
everyone
for
participating
for
speaking
today
for
calling
in
for
being
on
this
zoom
meeting.
We
very
much
appreciate
your
involvement
and
dedication
to
the
city.
A
In
addition
to
the
public
comments,
we
just
heard
for
nearly
three
and
a
half
hours
we
also
have.
This
is
the
public
comment
that
we
received.
Some
of
these
are
books
that
have
been
copied
or
large
attachments,
but
I
just
want
to
note
for
the
record
that
we
also
have
received
your
public
comments
by
email
and
through
the
city's
clerk
city
clerk's
office,
and
we
have
read
those
and
considered
them.
A
So
with
that,
I
want
to
open
up
the
floor
to
council
member
questions
or
comments,
and,
if
I
can
before
I
do
that,
if
I
could
ask
the
city
attorney
just
one
or
two
questions,
just
as
an
opportunity
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
clear
record
for
the
public.
We
care
about
public
transparency
and
ethics
very
much,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
people
understand
that
some
of
the
information
that
they
heard
may
have
not
been
correct.
So
city
attorney.
K
Yes,
certainly
mayor,
that's
a
that's
a
very
fair
question,
so
there
have
been.
There
has
been
considerable
consideration
of
the
resolution
that
is
before
both
the
hrc,
the
resolution
at
two
meetings,
at
least
two
meetings,
and
they
made
the
recommendation
to
the
city
council
and
that's
before
you
tonight.
K
This
is
a
publicly
noticed
city
council
meeting
that
is
in
compliance
with
the
brown
act.
The
materials
have
been
available
to
the
public
well
in
advance
of
the
the
brownex
72-hour
minimum
requirement,
and
I
should
point
out,
there's
been
some
discussion.
I
think
there
might
be
a
misunderstanding
among
some
that
that
there
could
be
a
vote
tonight
that
would
result
in
the
immediate
removal
of
the
of
the
statute.
K
A
Thank
you,
city
attorney
and
since
it's
your
job
to
represent
the
city
and
make
sure
that
the
city
follows
the
brown
act
and
other
public
transparency
laws,
can
you
just?
I
heard
that
people
commented
a
decision
had
been
made
by
city
council.
So
can
you
confirm
what's
in
front
of
the
city
council
tonight
in
the
human
rights
commission,
in
this
joint
meeting?
Certainly.
K
K
A
K
This
is
not
the
type
of
issue
that
council,
members
or
commissioners
are
precluded
from
taking
a
position
on
individually
such
that
they
would
have
to
recuse
themselves
at
this
meeting,
so
council
members
and
commissioners
can
hold
positions
on
the
items
that
are
before
you
tonight
and
and
bring
those
bring
those
those
positions
to
the
diocese
for
consideration
tonight.
There's
nothing
improper
about
that.
A
R
K
A
Thank
you
any
other
questions
or
comments
for
the
city
attorney.
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
clear
that
up.
Thank
you
to
the
city
attorney
for
representing
the
city
and
these
matters
and
making
sure
we
follow
all
the
brown
act
and
other
rules.
I
just
take
some
of
those
allegations
in
public
comment
personally,
because
we
very
much
do
care
about
transparency.
A
F
There's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
about
the
land
itself.
This
is
native
land,
all
of
it
all
of
it
belongs
to
the
tribe
really,
and
I
think
that
the
lease
extension
was
a
very
good
thing.
It
helps
to
allow
the
tribe
to
create
better
economic
prospects
for
themselves
and
has
allowed
for
the
city
to
to
thrive
as
well
in
that
process
that
doesn't
negate
that
there
was
a
mismanaged
process
in
removing
people
from
the
land
you
can
have
both
you
can.
This
is
not
something
that
has
to
be
either
or
there.
F
It
was
a
difficult
situation.
I
think
there
was
a
person
who
mentioned
that
this
was
a
situation
that
that
happened
after
that
was
started
before
booger
mr
bogart
became
mayor,
and
then
he
was
part
of
the
process
of
realizing
the
situation
which
he
delayed
for
a
long
time,
and
I
have
no
doubt
that
it's
difficult
because,
as
I've
sat
on
the
city
council
for
the
last
couple
of
years,
there's
been
lots
of
decisions
that
have
been
extremely
difficult
for
me
to
make.
F
F
F
For
me,
this
is
not
about
mr
bobert,
I'm
not
here
to
debate
his
who
he
is
as
a
person,
because
no,
I
did
not
know
him
personally,
there's
probably
a
lot
of
reasons
for
why
I
didn't
know
him,
even
though
I
grew
up
here.
I
think
we
ran
in
very
different
circles.
My
family
ran
in
very
different
circles.
F
It
is
a
place
for
the
people
and
all
of
us
here
on
this
zoom
and
all
of
us
all
of
you
watching
this
this
process,
all
of
us
have
people
who
could
talk
endlessly
about
how
much
they
love
us,
and
we
could
also
have
another
half
of
people
talking
about
how
much
they
dislike
us
and
believe
me.
We
at
least
for
the
council
members,
we've
all
received
those
emails.
F
F
I
heard
one
commenter
state
that
we
should
make
room
for
more
stories,
and
I
did
hear
that
echoed
by
a
few
people,
and
I
love
that,
and
I
think
one
way
that
we
can
make
room
for
that
is
by
acknowledging
our
past
wrongs.
So
remember,
there's
a
couple
of
things
that
we're
talking
about
tonight.
One
is
an
apology
for
what
occurred
on
section
14
and
one
is
a
removal
of
a
statue.
In
terms
of
the
apology,
the
apology
does
not
mention.
F
Mr
voger,
it
talks
about
the
city's
actions
because
that's
whose
fault
it
was
this
city-
and
that
goes
for
all
of
us
and
all
of
the
city
councils
in
palm
springs,
because
the
reality
is
that
none
of
us
had
to
have
done
enough
to
create
a
palm
springs
that
moves
us
into
the
future
and
that
that
that
it
truly
acknowledges
and
makes
amends
for
the
systemic
racism
that
our
country
was
built
on.
That
is
undeniable,
no
matter
what
you
think
about
the
statue.
F
I
have
said
from
the
very
beginning
from
when
I
ran
for
city
council
and
almost
every
day,
since
that
we
are
not
always
going
to
agree.
I
am
not
always
going
to
agree
with
everyone,
but
I
want
to
hear
from
you,
which
is
why
I
was
so
happy
that
we
were
able
to
have
this
discussion,
which
is
why
I
engaged
with
with
people
over
email
so
often
and
in
person.
When
you
see
me-
and
this
is
one
where
literally
from
my
tally-
half
of
you
disagree
with
me
and
half
of
you
agree
and
that's
okay.
F
F
A
Thank
you
councilmember,
and
I
see
just
to
note
for
the
human
rights
commissioners.
Please
do
if
you're
able
to
rename
yourself
so
that
we
can
the
public
knows
who
you
are.
We
can't
pin
you
all,
because
zoom
doesn't
allow
us
all
to
be
spot
lit
together.
There's
too
many
of
us.
So
sorry
about
that.
I
do
want
to
give
the
opportunity
for
council
members
to
speak
first.
A
If
I
can
and
then
I
will
go
to
human
rights
commissioners,
knowing
that
the
human
rights
commission
has
already
deliberated
and
discussed
and
voted
on
these
resolutions
that
are
in
front
of
us,
but
obviously
we
value
your
partnership
in
having
this
community
conversation
that
you
and
the
resolutions
that
you
brought
forward
to
city
council
to
consider.
So
if
I
can,
I
see
you,
commissioner,
big
nolo,
but
I
will
go
to
council
member
course
next
and
offer
any
other
conversation
from
council
members
and
then
go
to
any
commissioners.
Thank
you.
R

But
there
are
many
residents
both
those
whose
families
have
their
homes
burned
to
the
ground
and
others
for
whom.
As
we
heard
tonight,
it
is
painful
every
time
they
come
to
city
hall
because
they
see
and
must
pass
by
the
statute
of
mayor
bogart,
which
is
the
only
statute
of
any
mayor
or
any
person
at
city
hall.
R
R
A
B
B
B
B
I
would
simply
be
walking
down
the
grocery
aisle
and
somebody
would
stop
me
and
they
would
want
to
tell
me
a
frank
bogart's
story.
I
remember
one
individual.
I
had
just
gotten
back
from
an
ophthalmologist.
My
eyes
were
dilated.
So
much
that
I
thought
I
was
looking
at
the
sunshine
and
this
gentleman
in
the
post
office
was
not
going
to.
Let
me
go
until
I
heard
his
frank
gilbert's
story,
and
it
was
a
warm
genuine
story
of
individual
acts
of
kindness
on
the
part
of
mr
frank
voger.
B
B
That
was
a
total
and
complete
change
for
the
agua
caliente
banda
koya
indians
in
our
community,
and
it
was
one
of
the
most
important
steps
forward
for
riding
so
many
of
the
injustices
not
all
of
them,
but
so
many
that
have
affected
members
of
our
tribal
nations.
Going
back
to
the
founding
of
our
country.
B
B
B
B
I
don't
think
you
can
make
the
case
that
frank
logan
betrayed
mr
siva,
not
when
this
many
decades
later,
his
widow
says
no
frank
bogart
was
who
he
wanted
to
be
the
conservator
there's
been
no
one
who's
come
forward.
That
says
that
the
comments
regarding
mr
boger
to
mr
siva
or
chairman
steve
excuse
me
that
he
didn't
need
a
conservator
were
untrue.
B
So
I
think
when
we
have
tried
when
we
use
words
that
disparage
craig
bogart
as
an
individual
in
what
he
did
and
when
he
is
labeled
as
a
racist,
there's
simply
too
many
stories
that
betray
that.
But
what
we
also
know
is
that
he
was
involved
in
actions
that
resulted
in
in
a
racist
result,
and
that
cannot
be
washed
away.
B
A
statue
of
one
man
in
front
of
our
city
hall
is
not
the
right
thing
to
do
and
that
we
need
to
respectfully
find
a
alternative
location,
and
I
think
there
are
alternative
locations
that
we
can
find
that
will
allow
those
for
whom
frank
voger
will
always
be
a
man
of
great
warmth
and
great
character
to
acknowledge
that.
But
our
city
hall
will
be
open
to
absolutely
everyone
so
that
they
can
come
forward
and
not
see
what
is
considered
to
be
a
stain.
B
B
B
But
I'm
afraid
when
it
comes
to
the
resolution,
I
struggle
to
agree
with
everything
that
is
found
in
that
resolution.
Regarding
frank,
bogart,
the
individual,
I
don't
think
we
need
to
go
there
to
recognize
that
what
we
did
as
a
city
was
wrong
and
that
we
need
to
make
amends
for
what
we
did
as
a
city.
S
Thank
you
mayor.
I
want
to
thank
my
colleagues.
I
want
to
thank
the
human
rights
commission.
I
want
to
thank
everyone
that
called
in
I
want
to
thank
everybody
for
their
very
passionate
comments
that
they
made
they
to
me
felt
like
they
absolutely
came
from
people's
hearts
on
both
sides
of
the
fence.
Whether
there
was
one
comment
somebody
made
that
we
were
all
invited
as
a
council
to
meet
with
the
bogart
family,
I
want
to
say
that
I
was
never
invited
to
meet
with
the
vulgar
family.
S
S
S
This
is
not
a
personal
attack
on
bulk
art.
It's
not
blaming.
It's
apparent
there's
a
lot
of
love
and
adoration
for
frank
bogart
and
that
that
adoration
is
real,
but
we're
not
erasing
history,
as
somebody
have
said,
we're
actually
acknowledging
history
there's
more
than
one
history
here.
There's
the
history
of
urban
renewal
and
those
people
that
were
behind
the
urban
renewal
and
there's
the
history
of
those
people
that
were
removed
from
their
lands
and
their
personal
belongings
were
burnt,
stolen
and
or
destroyed.
S
So
we're
really
looking
at
two
two
points
here
and
I
think,
as
one
of
the
former
mayors
said,
there's
generational
pain
and
what
we're
trying
to
do
here
is
understand
that
generational
pain,
we're
looking
to
heal
it
as
well.
So
I'm
in
agreement
with
my
colleagues
that
this
is
not
about
mr
bogart.
This
is
really
about
a
statue
in
front
of
city
hall.
S
G
Thank
you
mayor
hostage
and
mayor
pro
tem
middleton
members
of
the
council,
my
fellow
commissioners
and
the
city
staff
and
members
of
the
public
still
in
attendance.
I
had
prepared
remarks
which
I
did
submit
in
writing
to
the
city
clerk
in
that
part
of
your
package,
so
because
of
the
late
hour,
I'm
not
going
to
regurgitate
that,
but
just
want
to
point
after
hearing
all
the
public
comments
in
your
own
comments
wanted
to
share
two
specific
things
that
occurred
to
me.
G
I
believe
that
any
relocation
of
the
monument
should
include
the
addition
of
a
plaque
with
a
narrative
that
would
help
to
educate
those
viewing.
The
statue
about
the
context
of
the
former
mayor's
two
terms
and
providing
such
a
narrative
can
properly
honor
the
mayor's
many
contributions
to
our
community,
which
we've
heard
about
this
evening,
while
also
recognizing
the
hurtful
actions
that
he
and
other
city
officials
took
regarding
section
14..
G
So
in
closing,
I'd
like
to
just
urge
the
council,
if
you
are
going
to
vote
on
that
specific
draft
resolution,
you
at
least
consider
perhaps
providing
further
instruction
or
mending
the
resolution
to
address
that
what
happens
next?
Where
does
it
go?
And
if
this
is
truly
the
start
of
a
process,
then
it
would
be
inappropriate
to
to
vote
for
an
immediate
removal
of
the
statute.
Thank
you
very
much
and
enjoy
the
rest
of
your
evening.
N
N
As
you
know,
I
heard
all
these
people
telling
me
that
they
were
born
and
raised
in
palm
springs
have
been
here,
50
years
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
I've
only
been
here
a
mere
13
years,
but
I
love
the
city.
The
city
is
my
home
and
I
live
on
the
north
side
of
town
and
I
was
excited
to
buy
a
house
in
the
mountain
gate
community
and
I
didn't
know
that
we
had
a
desert
highlands.
N
Excuse
me
desert
gateway,
highlands,
neighborhood,
and
I
will
have
to
say
that
when
I
first
drove
through
that
neighborhood
after
becoming
a
resident
of
palm
springs,
I
was
baffled.
I
couldn't
understand
such
how
such
an
affluent
city
had
such
a
blighted
area
that
no
one
had
taken
time
to
mow
the
weeds.
I
think
my
first
request
to
christy
holstage
and
jeff
coors
was
to
please
put
in
some
new
speed
bumps,
which,
fortunately,
recently
you
have
done.
I
thank
you
for
that.
N
It's
such
blatant
evidence
to
me
of
blight
of
an
area
where
people
who
had
nothing
were
moved
and
continue
to
struggle
to
survive
in
today's
economy.
I
think
any
conversation
about
moving
a
statue
permanently
temporarily.
Any
of
that
conversation
cannot
be
had
without
the
further
conversation
about
reparations.
N
These
people
have
not
only
been
offended,
insulted
personal
property
taken
away,
but
they
have
lost
the
opportunity
to
come,
create
some
significant
general
wealth,
generational
wealth,
and
it
breaks
my
heart
to
hear
the
grandchildren
of
the
folks
in
this
situation,
continuing
to
be
just
wounded
today.
As
a
result
of
these
actions,
I
also
don't
have
a
personal
axe
to
grind
with
mayor
bogart,
but
I
think
all
of
us
have
to
be
accountable
for
our
actions.
I
agree
it's
the
city's
building
city
hall.
N
I
don't
agree
that
we
need
to
add
another
statue.
I
I
agree
with
grace
garner
that
it's
the
people's
city
hall,
not
any
individuals,
we've
all
done
our
part
in
one
way
or
another,
to
make
the
city
what
it
is
so
anyway
long
way
to
say
that
I
am
incredibly
grateful
that
we
have
the
city
council
that
we
do
and
that
we
are
going
to
move
forward
with
respect
to
address
this
shameful
issue.

Thank
you,
commissioner.
Shepard
do
any
other
human
rights
commissioners
want
to
be
heard
now
before
council
really
deliberates
and
just
for
the
public.
This
is
a
joint
meeting,
because
human
rights,
the
human
rights
commission,
passed
these
two
resolutions
that
are
now
in
front
of
city
council.
So
just
to
be
clear,
the
commission
has
already
deliberated
and
voted.
A
We've
invited
them
here
as
a
joint
meeting,
so
that
they're
that
can
be
involved
in
the
process,
but
the
final
vote
or
final
direction
to
city
staff
about
what
process
might
we
might
engage
in
will
be
up
to
city
council.
I
just
want
to
be
clear
because
I
think
it
is
a
little
bit
confusing,
maybe
from
for
residents
watching
in
who
is
deciding
here
so
and
I
I
know
that
chair
ronda
heart
has
his
hand
raised
so
I'll
go
to
him
next
and
then
I
saw
others.
T
Thank
you,
mayor
holstedge,
thank
you,
chair
to
heart
as
well.
Thank
you,
honorable
mayor,
amir
pro
tem
city,
council
members
and
steadfast
staff
and
my
fellow
human
rights
commissioners,
and
to
all
who
provided
their
live,
zoom
and
telephone
public
comments,
I'm
looking
for
I'm
looking
forward
to
more
of
the
public
comments
that
have
been
emailed
into
reading
them.
What
a
night
right
we've
got
a
whole
bunch
of
folks
that
we
haven't
seen
in
a
while.
T
It
was
great
to
see
mayor
ron,
oden
and
hear
from
jenny,
foate
and
all
of
our
you
know
the
diverse
families
that
come
out
of
the
history
of
our
of
our
city.
This
is
our
city.
This
is
the
you
know
that
that
interwoven
fabric,
that
we
always
talk
about
that
that
is,
that
is
palm
springs
as
a
human
rights.
Commissioner
for
our
city,
I
support
the
black
brown
and
poor
underrepresented,
working-class
families
that
were
historically
terrorized,
forced
out
and
burned
out
of
section
14..
T
I
reinforced
my
support
for
the
section
14
apology
and
the
removal
of
the
frank
bogart
monument
from
the
front
of
our
city
hall.
The
legacy
of
collective
trauma
in
our
city
needs
more
attention
and
I
support
our
dialogues
to
consider
reparations
for
those
immediately
affected
by
the
awful
history
of
section
14..
Yes,
indeed,
this
is
on.
This
is
an
ongoing
discussion
on
gentrification
segregation,
the
great
migration,
western
expansion
empire
and
white
supremacy
and
privilege.
T
T
The
story
of
palm
springs,
also
known
as
sakhi
to
our
kuwaia
predecessors,
continues,
continues
to
unravel
on
this
occasion,
as
we
are
in
hispanic
heritage
month
and
on
the
eve
of
october's
filipino
american
history
month
and
october's
indigenous
people's
day
post
columbus.
Of
course,
I
offer
a
reading
to
our
audience
here
of
the
poem,
the
white
man's
burden,
the
united
states
and
the
philippine
islands
from
19
from
1899.
T
Your
new
caught
stolen
people's
half
devil
and
half
child
take
up
the
white
man's
burden
in
patience
to
abide
to
veil
the
threat
of
terror
and
check
the
show
of
pride
by
open
speech
and
simple
and
100
times
made
plain
to
seek
another's
profit
and
work
another's
gain,
take
up
the
white
man's
burden
and
reap
the
old
reward.
The
blame
of
those
you
better,
the
hate
of
those
you
guard
the
cry
of
hosting
humor,
slowly
to
the
light.
T
Why
brought
ye
us
from
bondage?
Our
love,
our
loved
egyptian
night,
take
up
the
white
man's
burden
have
done
with
childish
days
the
lightly
proffered
laurel
the
easy
ungrudged
praise
comes
now
to
search
your
manhood
through
all
the
thankless
years,
cold
edged
with
dear
broad
wisdom,
the
judgment
of
your
peers.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
commissioner
remoran
I'm
so
sorry
I
mispronounced
your
name
and
I
think
I
might
have
done
it
to
commissioner
vignolo
too.
So
I
apologize,
it's
been
a
long
meeting
and
I've
we've
been
working
all
day.
So
thank
you
and,
commissioner,
do
you
mind
sharing
you've
been
a
long-term
resident
of
palm
springs?
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
share
that
as
well.
Do
you
mind
if
you'd
like
to
comment
on
that
sure.
T
It's
it's
always
amazing,
to
hear
people
talk
about.
Oh
I've
been
here
for
50
years,
I'm
actually
turning
50
in
a
couple
weeks,
so
yeah
I
was
born
and
raised
born
in
a
desert
hospital,
and
but
my
family's
been
here,
there
were
morons
and
a
number
of
the
filipino
families
in
in
west
in
veterans
track
have
been
here
since
even
before
the
60s.
T
So
I'm
very
a
very
proud
remember
I
mean
our
family
yes
decided
to
settle
here,
and
we
do
have
to
speak
about
that.
I
think
it's
it's
a
very,
and
I
think
this
is
what's
great
about
it.
Tonight's
comments
were
very
heartfelt
on
on
all
sides.
You
know-
and
I
think
it's
really
important
to
hear
it
look
at
what's
happening
and
I
you
know
I
continued
my
I'm
going
to
continue
the
statements
here.
It
actually
the
unraveling
of
the
stories
as
we're
hearing
more
and
more
people
who
are
infected
affected
immediate.
T
You
know
directly
by
section
14
and
the
forcing
out
of
families.
I
think
there
there's
something
very
much
there,
because
we
know
that
the
families
that
were
directly
affected
a
lot
of
them
were
not.
It
wasn't
recorded
so
if
we're
trying
to
uncover
that
history,
we
need
to
support
that.
So
that's
what
I'm!
I
really
believe
in.
Thank
you,
mayor.
A
A
C
Thank
you
and
thank
you
as
a.
Let
me
just
reiterate
how
difficult
it
was
for
many
many
people
to
tell
their
stories
tonight.
I
sense
that
I
realize
that
I
somewhat
feel
that,
as
a
human
rights
organization,
we've
executed
a
pretty
effective
campaign
to
divide
the
citizens
of
our
city,
and
I
also
remain
convinced
that
we
could
have
mitigated
some
of
that
divisiveness
by
uniting
and
educating
with
more
fair
and
balanced
information,
which
again,
I
believe,
is
part
of
of
you
know
what
our
commission
is
is
committed
to
do.
C
J
Yeah,
thank
you,
council,
thank
you,
mayor
and,
and,
as
everyone
else
has
said,
also
many
thanks
to
everybody.
Who's
participated
in
this
testimony
tonight
and
as
difficult
as
the
testimony
was
for
some.
We
certainly
appreciate
everybody
coming
to
the
table.
Once
again,
you
know,
after
31
years
of
placing
the
burden
on
the
black
community
to
teach
us
the
understanding
of
the
symbolic
meaning
of
this
monument
is
an
incredibly
long
time,
three
decades
to
learn,
listen
and
debate.
J
J
J
A
I
want
to
make
sure
everyone
has
an
opportunity
to
be
heard.
I
I
think
I
have
you
all
on
my
screen,
so,
okay
moving
to
council
deliberations,
then
I
know
other
council
council
gave
their
comments
but
really
moving
to
the
decision
and
direction
to
give
to
staff
I'll
make
my
comments,
and
then
we
can
do
that
again.
There's
a
lot
that's
been
said,
and
I
won't
I'll
try
not
to
repeat
my
counsel
and
what
we've
heard
here
tonight.
A
I
heard
I
think
everyone
expressed
at
least
a
consensus
that
racism,
systemic
racism
and
overt
racism
existed
in
our
community
in
the
1960s
and
before
then
I
heard
consensus
about
what
happened
on
section.
14
was
horrifying
and
unacceptable
in
any
time
it
was
devastating
to
the
people
affected
and
their
descendants
both
then
and
now
so
many
decades
later.
A
The
way
we've
built
our
institutions,
the
way
policies
and
public
policies
have
created
what
the
city
looks
like
in
terms
of
de
facto
or
segregation
in
our
community
that
still
exists
today
and
overt
racism.
As
we've
heard
as
a
council,
I've
heard
that
the
community
wants
to
heal
together
and
come
together
an
incredibly
divisive
times,
and
I've
thought
a
lot
about
this.
As
we've
heard
from
people
and
have
these
conversations,
I
strongly
believe
that
to
come
together
to
truly
heal,
to
truly
right
the
wrongs
that
the
city
perpetrated
both
then
and
ongoing.
A
We
have
to
address
what
is
hard,
not
sweep
it
under
the
rug,
not
to
pretend
that
this
was
something
other
than
it
was.
We
have
to
address
the
people
who
are
affected,
so
I
have
no
comments
about
mayor
bogart,
his
reputation,
I'm
not
planning
on
litigating
a
man's
personal
reputation
in
a
public
forum.
A
I
hope
none
of
us-
and
I
expect
that
none
of
us
will
stand
the
test
of
time
50
or
70
years
later.
I
hope
we
will
not,
because
I
hope
that
the
universe
and
our
society
will
continue
to
bend
towards
justice,
and
we
will
be
so
much
further
than
where
we
are
now
50
or
70
years
from
now
that
we
will
not.
A
A
We
we
are
public
servants
at
the
end
of
the
day,
so
I
just
want
to
be
clear-
and
I
think
some
of
the
report
and
the
issues
with
the
report
and
with
vogue
with
the
facts
around
bogor
have
led
to
some
of
this
division
over
the
facts.
So
we
can
get
to
a
common
set
of
facts,
so
my
complaint
is
with
the
city,
it's
clear:
there's
a
common
set
of
facts
that
the
city
perpetrated
the
harms
both
to
the
tribe
and
both
to
the
people
affected.
A
On
section
14.,
we
represent
the
city
when
we
are
elected
by
the
people
and
what
happens
when
we
lead,
we
are
responsible
for
it's
a
great
responsibility
of
serving
on
city
council.
Not
everything
is
our
fault,
but
we
are
blamed
for
it
and
that's
that's
the
burden
and
the
benefit
of
serving
in
public
service.
A
So
our
role
now
as
the
city
is
to
come
and
apologize
for
the
actions
that
the
city
took,
and
I
truly
as
a
ceremonial
mayor
now
of
the
city
of
palm
springs
in
2021,
truly
honestly
apologize
for
those
actions.
They
were
wrong,
then
they
are
wrong.
Now
they've
created
devastation
in
our
community
that
and
and
different
outcomes
for
the
black
community
latino
community.
That
still
exists
today
and
segregation
that
still
exists
today.
A
I
understand
we've.
I
think
it's
public
record
we've
received
a
demand
letter
from
the
friends
of
bogor
that
that
they've
asked
the
city
to
consider
locations
in
the
city
for
the
placement
of
that
statue,
but
I
would
like
us
to
see.
I
would
like
to
see
us
begin
the
process
to
consider
removing
the
statue
from
city
hall,
where
people
have
said
that
it's
harmful
for
them
and
moving
it
to
a
different
location
or
giving
it
to
the
family
to
decide
where
it
best
goes.
A
A
It
says
that
mr
james
goray
said
his
house,
valued
at
3,
400
and
occupied
by
his
sister,
was
destroyed
without
notice.
Similarly,
the
house
of
an
elderly
neighbor
a
mrs
billetti
who
died
following
her
eviction
and
it
details
people
impacted
and
so
really
rough
math.
It
details
five
stories:
five
people
examples
who
lost
in
total,
twenty
four
thousand
dollars
and
nineteen
sixties
dollars,
and
so
that's
on
average,
six
thousand
dollars
per
resident.
This
is
rough
math.
A
A
A
A
A
The
resolution
for
the
frank,
bogart
monument,
I
don't
think
we
need
to
pass
that
resolution
or
that
report.
Just
to
note
the
human
rights
commission
is
a
volunteer
commission.
Thank
you
for
serving
your
time
for
free,
you
have
very
limited
city
staff
to
assist
and
most
of
those
efforts
are
volunteer-based,
and
so
we
understand
that
we
don't
have
the
the
power
of
a
historical
organization
to
really
write
down
that
history.
A
But
I
think
that
we've
heard
that
that
causes
pain
in
the
community
in
the
community
and
so
I'd
like
to
see
us
begin
the
process
to
relocate
the
statute.
But
I
I'm
not
I'll
hear
from
council
where
you're
at
on
approving
that
resolution,
because
we
don't
need
to
approve
a
resolution
resolution
to
begin
that
process.
So
with
that,
I
will
ask
council
colleagues,
if
they'd
like
to
make
a
motion
or
if
they
would
like
to
summarize,
where
they
think
council
might
be
or
to
respond.
C
A
B
A
Yes,
if
you're
asking
what
my
opinion
would
be
and
hear,
I
want
to
hear
from
the
full
city
council.
It
would
be
to
adopt
the
resolution
of
the
apology
with
a
few
extra
language
to
begin
the
process
of
considering
relocating
the
statue
and
to
allocate
five
million
dollars
a
year
into
an
equity
fund
to
invest
in
the
community
in
a
way
to
be
determined.
S
Thank
you.
I
I
agree
with
the
first
two
parts
of
it:
the
the
idea
to
invest
five
million
dollars
at
this
point
I
don't
know,
is
we've
done
kind
of
a
calculation
of
what
they
would
look
like
what
it
would
mean,
and
I
think
we
need
to
I.
I
would
need
to
mull
that
over
a
little
bit
more
to
understand
if
that's
the
right
dollar
amount
and
what
it,
how
how
it
might
actually
be
spent.
A
Thank
you,
and
I
was
just
putting
that
out
there
for
discussion.
I
think
that
there's
work
to
do
obviously
with
what
the
needs
are
and
what
the
amount
would
be
and
what
that
would
look
like.
I
just
may,
or
pro
tem
asked
me
what
my
proposal
would
be,
and
that
is,
I
think,
a
starting
point
for
a
discussion.
R
We
can
make
a
motion
and
then
we
can
see
if
there
are
changes
to
it,
but
I
would
move
forward
with
the
apology,
as
drafted
with
the
language
changes
suggested
by
mayor
hostage,
which
I
agree
with
I've
moved
forward
with.
I
think
we've
started
the
process,
but
continuing
the
process
to
that.
We've
legally
are
required
to
to
remove
the
statute
from
city
hall
and.
F
I'd
I'd
like
to
to
second,
I
I
mean
I
like
five
million
dollars,
but
I'm
I'm
I'm
understanding
that
if
the
council
really
you
know,
wants
some
some
more
sorry
it's
late,
I
want
some
more
feedback
from
staff
on
that
first,
I
can
understand
that,
but
yeah
I'm
I'm
I'm
ready
to
to
put
some
money
on
the
table,
but
that's
it
I'll
I'll.
Second
I'll.
Second,
the
motion
and
just
to
be
clear,
we're
we're
not
except
we're
not
supporting
or
not
we're,
not
passing.
F
B
I
can
support
the
the
apology-
and
I
agree
with
council
member
woods-
that
we
need
to
ask
staff
to
do
a
thorough
assessment
as
to
what's
the
appropriate
amount
of
reparations
and
funding,
to
provide
and
and
to
provide
guidance
to
council
as
to
what
would
be
the
most
meaningful
manner
in
which
to
address
those.
I
don't
think
we
should
jump
to
a
conclusion
regarding
an
amount.
R
R
Investment,
in
whatever
form
that
may
take
thanks
for
the
question,
certainly
taking
the
next
steps
for
considering
a
relocation
of
the
statue,
is
something
that
we
can
proceed
with
immediately.
I
think
what
we'd
likely
do
with
the
other
piece.
Some
you
know
kind
of
financial
parameters
and
programmatic
things
would
probably
be
somewhat
iterative,
so
I
think
we
would
start
with
key
concepts
right,
so
that
might
be
something
along
the
lines
of
valuation.
R
I
think
that
will
frankly
be
pretty
difficult
when
you
really
talk
about
unknown
assets,
some
of
which
appreciate
some
of
which
depreciate
you
know.
I
don't
know
that
we'd
have
a
good
objective
analysis,
but
I
think
we
could
come
up
with
a
reasonable
number
and
and
probably
have
a
process,
a
public
process
before
even
determining
uses
for
those
funds,
but
could
certainly
start
to
promulgate
ideas
right.
R
You
know
the
kinds
of
things
that
we
think
would
be
meaningful
and
the
parameters
and
the
way
we
would
track
it
and
and
those
kinds
of
things.
So
I
think
we
would
start
with
some
concepts.
Get
some
input
from
the
community
also
come
back
and
check
in
with
council.
Before
we
had
concrete
proposals
and
you'll
get
your
direction,
and
I
think
we
could
start
that
process,
certainly
in
the
next
few
months.
R
A
A
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that
the
people
who
called
in
today,
who
are
affected
by
the
city's
actions
on
section
14,
have
some
commitment
that
from
us
that
we
are
going
to
take
action,
that
we
are
going
to
dedicate
put
our
money
where
our
mouth
is
dedicate
city
funds.
To
this
effort
that
we
are
not
going
to
start
a
process
that
will
last
forever
that
will
result
in
james
o
jesse,
just
getting
approved
for
having
bathrooms.
A
You
know
after
decades,
so
that
and-
and
I
appreciate
the
city
manager-
has
a
very
tough
job
to
do,
because
the
demands
of
city,
council
and
city
residents,
saying
please
do
something
now
and
city
government-
is
just
not
set
up
to
act
quickly.
But
that
said,
that's
why
I
thought
an
allocation
of
funds
would
be
a
way
to
make
it
take
action
without,
while
still
in
showing
a
commitment
and
action,
while
still
allowing
the
city
to
move
forward
in
a
process
to
work
out
those
details.
F
S
R
R
So
does
the
motion
work
or
I
think
there
are
certain
components
that
we
could
accomplish
within
two
months.
I
think
if
you
wanted
to
solidify
an
amount,
for
instance,
for
a
fund,
I
think
we
could
do
that
in
two
months.
I
think
there
will
be
key
principles
of
administering
this
fund.
That
will
be
somewhat
difficult
to
work
out
and
it
might
not
be
staff
that
takes
a
little
more
than
two
months.
It
might
be
the
the
whole
iterative
process
with
the
community
with
the
staff
and
council
that
takes
more
than
two
months.
R
For
instance,
you
may
have
descendants
of
section
14
that
no
longer
live
in
the
area,
so
there'll
be
a
decision
to
make
about
whether
this
is
still
focused
on
palm
springs,
community
or
direct
descendants
of
those
who
lived
on
section
14..
Similarly,
there
are
minority
communities
that
aren't
necessarily
descendants
of
section
14,
but
are
perhaps
in
in
need
of
you
know:
social
justice
and
equity
type
programs,
so
those
key
principles
and
an
allocation
I
think,
could
begin,
but
but
honestly
to
have
a
thoughtful
program
that
works.
R
R
We're
not
gonna
have
well-established
programs
with
the
details
worked
out
in
that
amount
of
time,
even
if
we
kind
of
dropped
everything,
but
we
can
get
you
down
that
road
by
allocating
funds
and
starting
to
talk
about
key
principles
and
starting
to
discuss
priorities,
housing
jobs.
You
know,
improvements
of
community
center
and
infrastructure
and
and
those
broad
level
conversations
in
within
a
couple
of
months.
A
R
I
think
you're
october
14th,
I
believe
it
is
meeting
you
could
probably
just
have
a
budget
conversation
and
amend
the
budget
for
an
amount
of
money.
Now
now
keep
in
mind
you
you
meet
on
the
30th
tomorrow
that
agenda's
done,
the
14th
would
likely
be
direction
to
staff
on
an
amount
unless
we
can
come
up
with
something
between
now
and
then
and
kind
of.
R
R
I
think
things
things
can
you
know
the
way
our
meetings
and
things
overlap?
That's
just
I.
I
could
definitely
outline
some
principles
and
we
could
cue
up
the
conversation,
although
to
be
honest,
that
agenda
is
full
as
of
today.
So
it's
also
moving
something
off
the
agenda
to
create
that
space,
which
we
can
do
that's
the
fastest,
which
is
what
you
asked
yeah
we
we
can
do
it
that
fast,
but
that's
that's.
S
I
hear
mayor,
I
hear
you
in
the
fact
that
you
want
to
get
a
commitment
of
something
to
happen
and
not
just
be
lip
service,
but
I
think
just
since
I've
been
on
council
when
we've
moved
too
fast
on
things,
we've
ended
up
not
being
not
having
the
best
outcomes
that
we're
looking
for,
and
I
would
be
looking
for
really
positive.
Affirmative
outcomes
like
what
was
mentioned
by
the
city
manager,
and
I
think,
if
we
need
a
little
time
to
do
it.
If
we
start
the
conversation
at
a
meeting,
that's
great.
S
If
you're
asking
me,
madam
mayor,
no,
I'm
not
saying
that
I'm
just
saying
even
the
start
of
the
discussion.
If
the
agenda's
come
out
within
a
week
or
two,
it
really
doesn't
give
staff
enough
time
to
really
wrap
our
head
around
it,
and
it
could
also
be
part
of
our
vision
name
where
we
hear
from
people
broader
like
do
they
want
urban
renewal
programs,
you
know:
do
they
want
housing
programs?
Do
they
want
job
programs?
I
mean
you
know,
I
think,
those
kind
of
broad-based
questions
we
can
start
preliminary
talking
about.
R
In
council,
if
it's
helpful,
I
think
we
could
promulgate
a
list
of
topics
and
keep
principles.
Leave
some
of
the
dollar
amount
to
you,
but
agendize
it
in
such
a
way
that
you
can
get
as
far
down
that
conversation
as
you
feel
comfortable
with.
In
other
words,
if
it's
queued
up
for
the
14th
or
the
second
meeting
in
october
and
and
you
feel
pretty
resolved,
you
feel
good
about
the
things
that
we're
talking
about
and
are
ready
to
direct
staff
to
bring
back
a
budget
amendment
with
a
specific
amount.
R
You
can
do
that,
but
if
you
only
get
part
way
down
that
conversation,
we
keep
it
on
the
agenda
and
just
keep
it
moving
forward.
I
I
think,
based
on
the
nature
of
this
conversation
and
the
intent
of
counsel,
this
is
not
going
to
languish
right.
It's
something
that
we
can
make
as
much
progress
as
we
can
make
on
we'll
keep
it
on
agendas,
and
then
it
will
be.
R
R
I
think
we
might
look
to
agendize
this
the
second
meeting
in
october
and
then
in
the
month
of
november,
you
do
have
the
strategic
planning
session,
so
both
of
those
would
occur
within
two
months
and
then
it
would
be
somewhat
up
to
you
how
far
you
go
with
that,
but,
admittedly,
that
has
something
to
do
with
the
quality
of
analysis.
We're
able
to
provide
you.
R
So
why
don't
we
just
get
done
what
we
can
within
that
date,
certain
you
can
leave
it
at
two
months
and
and
it
will
be
your
prerogative
to
extend
that
conversation
if
we're
only
able
to
give
you
kind
of
moderately
quality
analysis
in
that
time,
we'll
do
our
best
and
and
and
that
will
be
kind
of
the
way
we
scale
this
right,
we'll
give
you
what
we
can
for
good
analysis.
If
it's
good
enough,
you
guys
can
solidify
some
broad
level
direction.
R
A
K
I
don't
I
was
going
to
point
out.
The
previous
motion
mentioned
relocation,
but
I
think
the
city
clerk
more
accurately
stated
that
it's
the
removal
of
the
process
for
the
removal
of
the
statue,
because
I
don't
think
the
council
has
identified
any
specific
location
at
this
point
and
that's
something
that
can
be
determined
at
a
later
date.
So
at
this
point
it's
removal
and
I'm
good
with
that
from
the
legal
perspective.
A
K
It
could
also
include
asking
the
city's
public
arts
commission
for
recommendation,
since
they
are
charged
with
resolving
issues
of
public
art
removals
and
that's
the
that's
the
minimum.
Obviously,
the
the
city
could
provide
for
additional
public
input
for
them,
but
that
would
be
the
minimum
requirement.
K
S
A
A
A
A
An
ongoing
exclusion
caused
by
the
demolition
of
this
neighborhood
and
then
I
might
propose
one
last
change
it
says
resolved.
We
do
hereby
I'd,
ask
us
to
say
formally
apologize
for
the
city
government's
role
in
the
destruction
of
homes
and
community
on
section
14,
and
affirm
that
the
lessons
learned
from
the
city's
actions
will
forever
be
remembered.
I'd
like
to
insert
and
not
repeated,
and
maybe
even
something
about
and
will
be
addressed
by
action
by
the
city
council,
or
something
like
that,
because
it's
not
just
that
we're
remembering
the
harms.
A
A
A
Okay,
seeing
none!
So
then
there
is
a
motion
in
a
second
and
we
will
have
a
roll
call
vote
on
those
three
parts
of
the
motion
so
for
the
community.
It's
to
move
forward
on
the
city
of
palm
springs.
Apology
for
its
role
in
the
destruction
of
section
14.
During
that
time,
it
is
to
start
the
legal
process
for
the
removal
of
the
monument
at
city
hall,
and
it
is
to
direct
city
clerk,
require
restatement
direct.
A
A
A
Seeing
none
thank
you
very
much
for
everyone
and
engaging
in
this
difficult
and
heartfelt
conversation
and
being
respectful.
I
think
that
we
did
hear
generally
from
a
community
who
wanted
to
hear
from
each
other.
So
thank
you
to
everyone
for
participating
in
our
city
government,
the
net.
So
we
will
move
to
adjourn.
The
next
regular
city
council
meeting
will
be
held
tomorrow
september
30th
2021
at
5
30
p.m.
Please
join
us
for
that
meeting
as
well
and
feel
free
to
call
in
and
submit
your
public
comments
for
those
agenda
items
with
that.
