Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
Okay,
well,
since
it
is
3
o'clock-
and
we
don't
have
officers
at
this
point-
I
have
to
call
the
meeting
to
order.
So
I'll
ask
myself
for
roll
call,
hairy
court
right,
Ashley
Dunphy
has
resigned,
but
we
haven't
received
official
word.
So
we
kept
her
on
the
agenda
but

not

This
time
has
been
set
aside
for
members
of
the

the
library
board
of
trustees
on

and
items
of
general
interest
within

matter
within
jurisdiction
of
the
city.
Although
the

Hi,
my
name
is
David
Kelly
and
I'm
grateful
to
be
here
and
just
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
myself.
I've
been
in
Palm
Springs
now
for
four
years,
I
live
over
by
the
Hawk
Woods
Creek
Golf
neighborhood
in
it-
and
this
is
not
my
first
time
at
the
rodeo
for
public
service.
That
was
when
I
was
living
in
Los
Angeles
before
I
came
to
Palm
Springs
I
was
the
Commissioner
on
the
Los
Angeles
County
Commission
on
HIV
for
four
years
and
currently
I'm.
C
Kathy
Warmack
I
live
in
escena
on
the
other
side
of
the
airport.
I've
lived
here
for
nine
years,
just
finished
six
and
a
half
years
on
the
Planning
Commission
chairing
it
for
the
last
year
and
a
half
active
recently
in
the
district
mapping
campaign,
co-chaired
the
citizens
action
committee
on
that
spent
six
years
on
the
Planning
Commission
in
Santa
Monica,
and
ran
several
public
nonprofits.
In
my
professional
background
so
and
I
read.
E
Happy
to
do
that,
the
friends
have
a
busy
schedule
coming
up
one
of
the
things
that
they
have
been
doing
for
the
last
few
years
of
participating
in
modernism
week.
This
year
they
have
an
impressive
nted
for
events
that
they're
doing
they're
doing
two
lectures
and
two
house
tours
both
of
the
lectures
will
be
at
the
library.
E
The
dates
for
the
lectures
are
on
Saturday
February,
16th,
Allen
Hess
will
be
there
lecturing
and
unfortunately,
that
event
has
been
sold
out.
So
I
don't
want
to
encourage
you
to
buy
tickets
because
there's
none
available,
but
they
do
have
another
lecture
on
Friday,
the
22nd
of
February,
featuring
Professor,
Martin
Schwartz
and
he's
going
to
be
talking
about
post-modernism
versus
modernism
architecture
and
that's
on
the
22nd
and
they're
still
tickets
available.
E
There's
two
house
tours
one
is
on
February
14th
and
that's
going
to
be
showcasing
a
house
in
sunnmøre
and
a
neighborhood
about
how
it
went,
green
and
still
maintained
its
modern
aesthetic,
and
so
the
owner
is
going
to
be
there
and
talking
about
all
the
different
things
showing
the
people
on
the
tour
that
different
things
that
he
employed
there
to
make.
The
house
green
and
then
on
the
19th
of
February
they're,
going
to
be
touring
a
home
by
an
architect,
Hal
Lacey,
so
the
tickets
for
all
of
those
events
are
still
available.
E
The
friends
also
are
participating
in
the
1ps
picnic
in
March,
that's
March,
23rd
and
then
also
in
March.
They
have
their
annual
meeting
on
Sunday,
March
10th
and
that's
for
members
only.
Of
course
you
can
always
join
and
become
a
member,
and
this
year's
annual
event
is
going
to
be
held
at
the
former
Truman
Capote
house
here
in
Palm
Springs.
That
was
recently
renovated.
B
B
B
B
Foundation
we
just
lost
so
we've
been
sort
of
in
abeyance
and
part
of
it
is
we're
waiting
til.
The
strategic
plan
is
finished,
because
that
will
help
give
us
some
direction
as
to
where
we
should
do
about
major
fundraising,
either
renovation
of
the
building
building
a
new
building
someplace
else,
whatever.
So
we're
kind
of
we're
working
on
getting
organized
to
do
major
fundraising,
but
we're
not
doing
anything
till
we
have
some
direction.
I.
F
A
Thank
you,
okay.
So
at
this
time
we
will
go
into
our
annual
meeting
as
long
as
you're
all
you're,
all
okay,
with
this
we're
good
we're
ready.
Okay,
so
we're
going
to
do
our
annual
meeting
so
that
we
can
get
some
officers
so
I
don't
have
to
continue
holding
this
meeting.
So
then,
let's
do
report
by
nominating
committee
court
right
and
McBride
I've.
B
B
A
F
F
Here's
where
the
fun
part
begins
for
our
new
colleagues,
because
the
committee's
you
will
find
for
this
particular
body
really
are
where
everything
happens
and
the
hard
work
really
exists.
So
it's
we
went
through
last
year,
a
few
things
that
have
pushed
us,
probably
a
little
further
ahead
than
we
were
in
previous
years,
where
we
revisited
our
pipe
our
bylaws
and
made
sure
the
bylaws
were
pretty
good
in
shape
and
especially
anticipating
the
strategic
planning
process.
F
However,
we're
still
have
a
ways
to
go,
so
these
committees
are
just
pretty
critical
and
and
Harry
and
I
have
probably
served
on
all
of
these
committees
at
some
point
and
I.
I
would
also
add
that
they're
enjoyable
is
it's
it's
a
good
chance
to
work
with
staff
and
to
really
hear
what's
going
on
in
the
library
we
changed
the
bylaws.
F
That's
why
I
was
asking
for
a
copy,
because
I
couldn't
have
it
to
memory,
but
we
we
actually
say
in
the
bylaws
that
the
standing
committees
may
consist
of
because
there's
short,
there's
a
small
group
of
us,
and
we
felt
like
at
this
particular
time
at
our
annual
meeting.
We
talked
about
what
these
committees
have
done
or
what
they
should
do
and
as
a
group
kind
of
decide,
do
we
really
need
to
have
one
of
those
this
year.
Maybe
we
don't,
maybe
there's
not
a
priority.
Why
add
more
work?
F
If
we
really
don't
need
to
have
you
know
more
work?
I
think
you
guys
would
agree
with
that.
So
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
maybe
just
have
a
discussion,
especially
with
staff
and
talking
about
the
importance
of
the
standing
committees
and
what
they
might
see
ahead
for
us.
Then
we
can
go
into
the
ad
hoc
committees.
We're
really
a
lot
of
work
exist
now.
F
You
should
also
know
that
there's
one
other
committee
that
is
always
in
place
and
that's
the
nominating
committee,
so
it's
part
of
the
bylaws
and
it
will
stand
that
way
as
well.
So
if
we
could
just
take
a
few
minutes
and
I'm
gonna,
let
the
genie
to
kind
of
help
us
to
describe
for
us
and
give
us
some
history
as
to
why,
in
the
past,
we've
had
an
advocacy
budget
buildings
and
then,
of
course,
policies
bylaws
sure.
A
And
these
are
in
your
bylaws
that
you
do
have
to
have
those.
That's
why
they're
standing
committees,
so
the
advocacy
committee,
it's
really
important
to
help
us
speak
to
our
community,
about
what's
going
on
at
the
library
things
that
we
might
need,
help
with
getting
passed
through
the
City
Council
or
just
getting
the
the
public's
buy-in
on
different
things.
So
advocacy
is
always
important.
A
It's
always
great
to
to
have
people
who
are
just
you
know
you
need
somebody
to
go
to
City,
Council,
okay,
advocacy
sure
anybody
could
go
and
speak
at
City,
Council
or
go
and
speak
at
different
things.
But
that's
advocating
for
us
is
is
helpful
because
sometimes
I
can't
I
can't
do
that
because
I
am
an
employee
of
the
city,
so
it's
I
can't
get
up
and
give
public
comment
like
you
could,
as
citizens
and
trustees.
So
that's
always
helpful
and
feel
free.
To
add
to
this.
Oh
can
I,
please
see
I.
F
Think
in
the
past,
what
we've
had
is
someone
has
said:
I'll
take
this
on,
but
we're
all
on
call.
So
it's
not
like
you
have
to
do
this
by
yourself.
It's
designating
someone,
that's
always
in
tune
with
the
current
issues.
That's
going
on
with
the
library
and
the
community,
and
if
a
certain
topic
comes
up,
you
could
that
person
could
say:
I
need
everybody
there.
We
can
do
a
call-out
to
everybody
which
we
have
done
or
can
I
get
one
or
two
of
you
to
come.
F
A
I
know
recently,
there
have
been
town
hall
meeting
Wow
somebody
from
the
library
showed
up,
yeah,
yeah
yeah,
we're
very
supportive.
You
know
we
have
lots
of
community
members
who
are
supportive
and
and
interested
in
what
happens
at
our
library,
the
budget
Standing
Committee.
Now
the
budget.
We
have
two
two
aspects
of
the
budget.
A
We
have
our
library
operating
budget
and
then
we
have
the
trust
fund
budget
and
so
the
library
operating
budget
you
all
get
to
weigh
in
and
and
provide
suggestions
and
input
for
that,
although
that
is
approved
by
City
Council
there,
it's
really
their
their
area
that
they
get
to
manage.
But
you
do
get
to
provide
input
on
that
and
then
for
the
trust
fund
budget.
You
can
choose
to
spend
some
of
that
money
on
certain
special
projects
that
we
have
going
on.
A
So
we
talk
and
we
usually
have
a
meeting
with
the
budget
subcommittee
and
myself
and
we
go
over
what
we,
what
we
as
staff
feel
would
like
to
do
and
and
then
the
budget
subcommittee
brings
that
back
to
the
full
board
of
the
trustees.
And
then
you
get
to
talk
and
discuss
and
and
vote
on
those
things.
Anything
else.
I.
F
I
will
say
in
the
past
the
treasurer
has
selected
one
of
us
to
come
along
with
them
for
the
ride,
so
you're
welcome
to
do
that
and
I
would
just
ask
that
you.
Of
course,
you
would
share
that.
It's
there's
a
time
of
year
where
you're
gonna
work
closely
around
budget
prep,
so
that
you
understand
the
budget
and
then
you're
gonna
brief
the
advocacy
person,
because
we're
gonna
have
to
go
and
stand
up
and
talk
about
that
in
front
of
City
Council,
most
commonly
for
asking
for
something
like.
F
Year
we
asked
for
the
part-time
staff
person
that
you
guys
got
approved,
so
it
does
mean
a
lot,
and
if
you
know
that
budget
and
what's
needed,
you
can
call
upon
any
of
us
to
be
on
that
with
you
and
help
you
around.
That
is
just
sharing
the.
So
that's
not
a
bad
committee
I've
served
on
it.
I
was
a
part
of
it.
The.
B
A
A
F
A
Yeah,
so
if
you're
interested
in
in
buildings
and
renovations
or
new
libraries
and
and
all
of
that,
that's
where
that
group
is
policies
and
bylaws,
we
as
a
staff,
try
not
to
bombard
you
with
new
policies
all
the
time.
We
really
try
to
keep
it
to
once
a
year
if
we
can
and
bring
everything
at
once
and
go
over
that
and
the
bylaws
are
part
of
that,
because
that
helps
keep
you
all
organized.
A
We
just
went
through
a
big
bylaws
rehash,
so
it
would
be
hopeful
that
we
wouldn't
have
any
changes
but
or
very
few
changes
if
we
need
to
so,
but
that
the
policies,
if
we
that
would
be
the
subcommittee
that
we
would
call
on
if
we
need
to
change
in
etiology
and
last
year.
Oh
you
just
got
a
copy
with
the
binder
clip
of
the
the
final
that
was.
A
A
It's
kind
of
tricky,
but
you
do
help
us
approve
our
policies
and
you
have
to
help
us
defend
them
too,
and
so,
when
we
have
people
who
are
upset
that
they
have
violated
a
policy
and
we've
done
whatever
necessary
steps
that
are
necessarily
ban
them
or
charge
them
fines
or
whatnot
fees.
If
their
item
goes
lost,
then
we
need
your
help
defending
our
policies.
So
that's
that's,
but
you
know
what
the
whole
board
so
there's
that
and
then
anything
else,
yeah.
F
C
A
F
F
Care
of
most
of
the
major
things
unless,
unless
we
get
into
the
bylaws
mega
hoops,
we
didn't
think
about
something
but
I
think
we've
kind
of
scrubbed
that
one
and
the
bylaws
by
the
way
was
reviewed
extensively
by
the
city
and
the
city
attorney
to
make
sure
that
we
had
visited
all
of
the
things
that
had
kind
of
cropped
up
last
year.
We
now
have
kind
of
forgotten
where
you
know
the
authority
of
this
board
or
the
and
the
things
that
we
are
responsible
for
so
I
think
we
have
italia.
A
We
typically
have
one
person
that
goes
to
the
friends
meeting
and
then
the
friends
usually
send
someone
here
and
that
way
the
groups
all
know.
What's
going
on
with
each
other,
and
the
trustees
can
report
to
the
friends
what's
happening
from
our
from
the
trustees
side
and
then
the
friends
everybody
learns
what's
going
on,
so
we
usually
have
one.
Oh
thank
you.
The
Friends
of
the
library
meet
the
second
Tuesday
at
2
p.m.
at
the
library.
So
that
is
also
a
concern.
A
C
A
A
Were
the
liaisons
for
the
strategic
plan,
but
so
you
may
still
want
to
keep
somebody
until
the
strategic
plan
is
complete
and
then
the
well.
Would
we
this
one's
active
right
now?
Well,
would
we've
got
a
well
wood
patio
meeting
on
Monday?
So
if
you
and
it's
you
don't
well,
we
did
it,
but
you
all
should
talk
about
that.
One!
It's
just
outside
who's,
going
cuz
I
know
pretty.
F
Were
pretty
ambitious
in
the
bylaw
revision,
where
we
said
that
at
this
particular
meeting,
assuming
that
the
president-elect
knew
that
that
was
coming,
we
were
to
come.
That
person
was
to
come
to
this
meeting
and
make
assignments.
I
feel
that's
that's
kind
of
unfair
because
for
lots
of
reasons
and
I
want
you
guys
to
think
about
these,
and
let's
talk
is
there
something
that
just
jumps
out
to
you
with
it's
of
interest
to
you
that
you
would
like
to
be
in
versus
me
name
anyone
at
this
particular
time?
F
If
that's
okay
with
you
all
I,
have
some
ideas
but
I.
That
I
would
like
to
talk
to
to
at
least
one
of
you
about
based
on
the
but
I
think
maybe
going
through
our
reports
today
and
hearing
about
the
status
in
all
of
these
and
I
can
reach
out
to
you
guys
in
the
coming
days
and
even
see
you
hopefully
on
Tuesday-
and
maybe
you
know
you
can
say
you
know,
and
I
really
am
drawn
to
serving
on
that
particular
committee.
Is
that
ok,
with
trustees.
A
A
C
F
And
I
think
you
have
the
background
and
expertise
that
can
help
us
with
this
project
and
keeping
it
on
track
and
making
sure
it
happens
in
our
lifetime,
if
that's
all
possible
and
within
budget.
So
I'm
think
you
can.
We
can
talk
about
that,
but
if,
if
you
would
like
to
take
my
place
and
you
and
Harry
attend
that,
can
you
attend
that
meeting
on
Monday
I'd.
A
B
F
A
F
B
D
F
Think
Epis
advocacy
makes
sense
if
you're
working
with
the
budget
to
maybe
help
us
there
as
well
as
we
describe
this
as
a
committee
where
you
would
say
where
these
are
our
priorities.
I
need
you
guys
to
come
and
support
us
and
be
ready
to
if
I
or
be
an
advocate
for
us.
So
that's,
okay,
I,
don't
wanna
load
you
up
with
too
much
so.

G
Good
afternoon,
thank
you
for
having
us.
My
name
is
David
gray,
and
this
is
Michael
Johnson
and
we
are
the
subcommittee
from
measure
J
for
the
library
and
I
guess.
I'll
just
give
a
little
background
from
my
perspective
and
you
can
you
can
join
in,
but
why
we're?
Even
here,
as
most
of
you
probably
know,
measure
J
is
a
tax
that
was
approved
by
the
voters
in
Palm
Springs
to
do
capital
projects
and
over
the
past
several
fiscal
years.
G
We
have
done
lots
of
different
projects
and
the
library
through
the
city
has
asked
for
some
of
those
funds,
some
of
the
projects
that
the
library
has
used,
those
funds
for
the
Wellwood
computers
at
the
library,
various,
perhaps
a
few
furniture
I,
don't
remember,
but
a
few
other
things
came
out
of
measure
J
funds.
However,.
G
We
have
some
outstanding
balances
on
our
books,
and
so
the
city
is
asking
us
to
go
back
and
prioritize
projects
that
were
sort
of
approved,
but
really
haven't
moved
anywhere
and
that's
kind
of
where
Michael
is
meeting
is
kind
of
meets
with
the
City
Council
to
try
to
say
well.
This
is
measure
J's
priorities
now
and
they
kind
of
say.
Well,
you
know
this
project
was
approved
in
2013.
How
come
you
know?
Do
you
still
want
this
as
a
priority?
G
So
with
that
in
mind,
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we
thought
we
would
come
and
ask
about.
There
are
two
particular
line
items
that
were
approved
that
are
sort
of
sitting
there
and
committed
to
the
library,
but
we
haven't
seen
the
library
using
them
and
but
those
most
of
you
know,
I
served
as
a
trustee
of
the
library
from
about
2009
to
2015,
so
I
may
have
voted
on
these
projects
in
the
beginning,
so
I
think.
G
Well,
you
know
this
is
not
a
project
that
you're
going
to
be
able
to
vote
two
million
dollars
or
three
million
dollars
and
have
it
done,
and
so
it's
going
to
need
to
go
over
several
fiscal
years
and
what
does
measure
J
want
to
do
about
that
and
how
we're
gonna
begin
to
put
that
in
the
budgetary
process?
Well,
when
we
said
that,
then
everyone
on
that
JJ
said
well,
I
think
we'd
better
go
meet
with
the
board
and
find
out
what
they
want
and
sort
of
like.
G
When
I
sat
on
this
board,
it
was
sort
of
like
what
comes
first,
the
chicken
or
the
egg.
You
know:
do
you
have
a
budget
of,
let's
say
fifteen
or
twenty
million
dollars
to
do
whatever
you're
going
to
do
renovate
this
building
or
build
a
new
building,
and
then
say:
where
do
we
have
those
funds?
We
have
some
trust
funds.
We
have
Foundation
funds,
maybe
have
friends,
funds
that
equals
X
amount
of
money.
G
We
will
ask
measure
J
for
X
amount
of
money
and
then
the
rest
we
might
have
to
raise
well
I,
don't
know
that
we've
ever
really
done.
That
and
I
know
that
Tuesday
you're
having
a
library,
deitrick
plan
and
I'm
very
happy
that
I'm
going
to
be
part
of
that,
so
I
will
be
there,
but
I
think
that
that's
kind
of
the
big
picture
will
be,
and
maybe
we
will
need
to
have
another
meeting
after
that
strategic
plan
to
kind
of
figure
out
what
that's
going
to
be.
But
I
think
we
need
measure.
G
Library
planning
money
to
sort
of
begin
to
look
at
either
renovating
this
building,
having
an
architect
schematic
plan,
etc.
Measure
J
voted
a
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
two
hundred
ninety
four
dollars.
I,
don't
know
why
294
but
whatever,
and
that
money
is
still
sitting
there.
So
there's
a
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
two
hundred
ninety
four
dollars
budgeted
for
library
planning
that
is
still
sitting
there.
Now
it's
not
strategic
planning,
but
this
would
be
capital
project
planning.
G
So
this
would
you
know
and
I
know
that
the
library
did
a
hired
a
architectural
firm
several
years
ago,
maybe
four
or
five
now
and
paid
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
out
of
their
own
trust
fund
money
to
do
a
plan,
but
I
that
plan
still
sitting
there.
I
guess.
The
second
thing
that
was
approved
was
some
idea
that
the
library
was
going
to
do
a
phase
one
project
to
do
infrastructure
on
this
building
and
so
approximately
a
quarter,
half
a
million
dollars.
G
Four
hundred
ninety
eight
thousand
five
hundred
and
twenty
dollars
was
approved
out
of
measure
J.
Out
of
that,
there
was
a
little
change
of
something
I'm,
not
sure
what
was
charged
to
that,
but
we
still
have
about
four
hundred
and
ninety
eight
thousand
is
497
789
sitting
in
that
account.
So
you
take
those
two
together
and
it's
over
half
a
million
dollars.
It's
just
sitting
there,
and
so
we
obviously
need
to.
We
did
tell
city
council
just
keep
it
there,
but
I,
don't
think
we
can
just
keep
it
there
for
three
more
years.
H
C
You
look
at
what
an
architect's
gonna
cost,
that
money
should
be
transferred
to
the
Library
Foundation
for
planning
purposes:
you're,
never
it.
You
know
it
could
be
used
for
improvements
in
the
existing
library
or
it
would
be
funds
to
plan
something
new,
but
that
the
whole
amount
is
probably
what
you
need
for
any
kind
of
decent
planning.
G
Was
done
this
the
city
would
not
give
any
money
to
the
foundation,
but
the
city
would
contribute
this
money
to
whatever
it
is
firm,
etc.
Obviously,
as
you
understand,
there
are
two
processes
as
I
would
imagine.
The
board
of
trustees
would
need
to
look
at
this,
these
funds
again
and
revote.
How
you
want
us
to
spend
those
funds,
but
none
of
these
funds
would
be
spent
without
city
council
approval
or
measure
J
approval.
So
what
I'm
just
saying
is
that
they
have
already
gone
through
some
process
and
they
were
earmarked
for
those
two
things.
G
F
F
We
know
that
then
we
have
to
kick
in
the
fundraising
around
the
foundation.
The
foundation
is
waiting
for
those
directions
I'm.
Assuming
at
that
point,
then
we
would
go
to
to
you
guys
at
pour
for
this
funding
and
say
we
need
this
funds
to
be
set
aside
for
this
part
of
this
project
and
start
that
process.
How
long
would
that
take
I
guess
is
off
is
part
of
my
question.
F
G
I
mean
basically
what
I
think
there's
there's
two
things
and
I
think
that
the
what
I,
what
I
think
mr.
J
would
like
from
you
is
what
is
happening
with
these
two
accounts
and
how
do
you
wish
to
use
those
accounts?
Change
those
accounts,
whatever
you
want
to
do,
but
we
need
direction
from
the
board
because
that's
where
these
requests
came
from
and
so
we're
coming
back
to
you
and
saying
you
didn't
use
them.
So
do
you
want
to
continue?
Second
from
your
description,
so
you
come
forth
from
that
median
you
find
out.
G
Okay,
we're
going
to
build
a
new
library
and
ballpark
figure
that
building's
gonna
cost
us
22
million
dollars.
Okay,
then
you
would,
as
a
board,
once
again
meet
and
figure
out.
Well,
we
have
X
amount
of
funds
on
hand.
We
might
be
able
to
raise
X
amount
of
dollars
through
the
general
public
or
grants
or
whatever,
and
we
have
a
deficit
of
twelve
and
a
half
million
dollars,
I'm
just
making
a
visit
just
out
of
their
hair.
Okay,
so
you
said
well,
we
need
12
and
a
half
million
dollars.
G
So
in
five
years
we
could
then
budget
twelve
and
a
half
million
dollars
for
over
five
fiscal
years,
but
we
can't
come
up
with
twelve
and
a
half
million
dollars
in
one
fiscal
year
and
you
can't
build
a
building
in
one
fiscal
year.
So
that's
how
it
would
need
to
go.
But
you
need
to
know
what
the
city
is
willing
to
commit
to
and
the
city's
gonna
not
gonna
commit
to
anything
except
through
measure
J.
G
G
F
H
And
so
we
know
this
is
a
major
priority
and
we
know
that
we
need
to
come
up
with
funds
to
help
move
this
forward,
especially
since
we
don't
know,
what's
happened
with
the
College
of
desert,
etc,
and
so
we
would
go
through
our
process
and
then
we
would
make
a
recommendation
to
the
City
Council
at
our
meeting
and
then
the
City
Council
will
take
them
to
consideration
and
they
would
make
the
final
decision.
What
we
are
is
a
recommending.
G
And
past
experience
would
be
so
as
an
example,
the
Wellwood
was
given
X
amount
of
dollars.
Measure
J
voted
that
money.
The
city
approved
that
the
project
got
underway
as
with
anything,
and
there
were
problems
and
overruns.
They
had
to
go
back
to
measure
J
and
say
we
need
a
little
bit
more
money.
So
the
same
thing
with
the
downtown
park.
The
the
measure
J
has
already
voted
a
certain
amount
of
money
for
the
park.
G
Now
we
are
really
get
to
the
point
where
we're
gonna
break
ground
and
we
know
what
the
park
is:
gonna
cost
it's
not
just
a
pie
in
the
sky.
So
now
we
know
it's
overrun,
so
they've
come
back
to
figure
out
ten
measure.
J
come
up
with
some
more
money
by
doing
something
else.
So
yes,
it
would
be
the
same
thing
with
the
library.
But
that's
not
gonna
happen.
You
know,
you're,
not
gonna
need
to
ask
us
for
more
money.
G
I
mean
I,
think
I,
think
you
you
try
to
come
up
with
a
cost
estimate
and
that's
what
you
ask
for.
First,
once
you've
got
the
project
shovel
ready
or
you
go
out
to
bid.
Well
then,
that's
when
crunch
comes
to
push,
and
it
might
be,
you
have
to
you,
know,
scale
back
on
furnishings,
I,
don't
know
where
you
cut,
but
that's
how
it
works.
So.
D
G
D
So
then,
the
follow-up
to
that
is
then,
since
we're
about
to
have
this
meeting
on
Tuesday-
and
you
probably
would
take
more
time
than
just
Tuesday
to
come
up
with
some
kind
of
estimate
of
what
deficit.
If
any,
there's
going
to
be
and-
and
forgive
me
for
not
knowing
too
much
about
how
much
is
collected
by
measure
J
on
an
annual
basis.
But
is
there
a
way
to
actually
project
five
years
forward?
H
Okay,
well,
the
not
everything
is
spoken
for
for
the
next
five
years,
but
we
only
have
so
much
money
each
year
and
that's
what
David
was
talking
about
earlier
is
we
could
do
this?
Incrementally
we're
not
gonna
be
able
to
hand
twelve
million
dollars
over
in
the
year
and
you
don't
need
twelve
million
dollars
in
a
year,
but
what
we
would
do
is
budget.
Accordingly,
you
say:
you've
got
a
five
year
plan
to
do
whatever
you
decide
to
do.
H
We
would
put
two
million
dollars
aside
for
one
year
then
the
next
year
in
the
next
year,
but,
as
you
know,
the
City
Council
has
to
we
approve
on
a
yearly
basis.
Even
though
we
do
a
five-year
project
somewhere
down
the
line,
they
could
stop
and
say
you
know
what
we
don't
want
to
do
this,
and
that
would
be
the
end
of
that.
That's
not
gonna
happen
with
the
library,
but
I
just
wanted
to
be.
You
know
upfront
with
you
on
that.
H
So,
yes,
we
do
have
the
funds
we
brought
in
almost
90
million
dollars
on
this
tax.
We
spend
thirty
million
dollars
a
year
in
this
tax.
We
have
an
eight
million
dollar
budget
this
year
to
spend
money
right
now
that
we're
looking
at
on
funding
capital
projects
starting
next
month.
It's
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
want
to
have
this
meeting
with
you
to
make
sure
that
we
get
this
on
the
list,
because
nothing
can
be
considered
if
it's
not
in
the
staff
list,
so
yeah
to.
G
Answer
your
prayer,
you
know
so
as
an
example,
roads
are
budgeted
at
about
three
million
a
year
to
redo
roads.
Well,
we
know
that
that
three
million
doesn't
do
every
road
in
Palm
Springs,
but
over
a
course
of
ten
years,
we'll
probably
do
all
or
most
of
the
roads
within
pumps
right.
So
yes,
then
they
get
to
start
over,
but
but
so,
but
when
the
bids
and
the
money
is
actually
spent,
it's
not.
If
then,
it's
not
a,
then
it's
not
kind
of
like
a
budget
future
budget.
G
C
Just
a
question
because
I
know
you,
you
were
fully
committed
to
the
park.
How
many
years
in
advance
is
that
commitment?
And
when
will
you
when
would
you
have
money
for
the
library?
That's
could
you
you
know
if
the
library
were
able,
just
because
when
you're
financing
something
it
is,
you
can't
do
a
librarian
pieces,
you
would
have
to
get
at
least
funding
that
you
would
anticipate.
You
would
repay
over
the
time
period
that
you're
paying
you're
paying
the
money.
C
H
No,
we
allocated
a
man
dollars
a
year
for
the
next
three
years,
we're
looking
at
moving
some
other
money
around
that
we
have
found
out.
We
do
not
have
to
make
the
commitment
for
that,
we're
hoping
to
get
more
money,
another
two
million
dollars
actually
for
that
they
need
three
and
a
half
million
more
than
they
originally
but
I'm
sure,
and
so
we
do
need
to
come
up
with
that
money.
The
park
is
critical,
but
that's
not
that's
totally
separate
from
this.
H
C
Decisions
Jeanne
and
here
are
new
building
versus
improving
the
existing
building,
correct
and
rad.
We
have
a
five
year
old
estimate
on
what
product
proves
the
existing
building
right.
Yes,
we
do
and
it
might
not,
and
yet
it
might
not
currently,
income
encompass.
The
programming
needs
that
you
would
have
I,
don't
know
that
it
does
just
having
looked
at
it.
There's
a
quarterly
programming
needs
in
terms
of
an
auditorium
or
something
in
the
existing
library
right.
C
G
A
lot
of
them
that
are
going
on
they're
redoing
a
fire
station
right
now
the
police
departments
had
stuff
done
so
they're
they're
been
projects.
The
well
wood
obviously
is
a
project.
So
yeah
there's
lots
of
physical
buildings,
but
capital
projects
aren't
just
buildings.
So
you
know
you
know,
there's
streets,
there's
safety,
improvements,
there's
crosswalks,
there's
all
kinds
of
things,
so
that
kind
of
I.
F
Mean
it's
it's
my
experience
that
if
we
were,
if
the
option
comes
up,
that
we
want
a
new
library,
we're
talking
20
25
million
to
I,
can't
imagine
that
project
would
be
anything
you
know
less
than
that.
If
you
want
to
be
true,
so
I
guess
my
point
are
those
the
kind
of
projects
that
we're
not
going
to
have
people
look
at
us
like
we've
lost
our
mind
when
we
come
and
ask
for
that
kind
of
funding
they.
H
G
Think
the
other
thing
is
that
you
probably
already
that
this
is
a
city
building,
so
vacating.
This
building
means
that
the
city
still
owns
this
building,
so
the
city
needs
to
figure.
So
whether
or
not
you
want
a
new
building
or
whether
you
remodel
this
building,
the
City
Council
may
have
some
thoughts
that
you
know
we
have.
You
know
not
to
not
to
talk
about
it,
but
but
the
plaza
theater
is
another
big
capital
project.
It's
a
city-owned
building
and
it's
at
there
empty.
G
So
the
city
doesn't
really
want
to
take
on
a
lot
of
empty
buildings,
so
that
has
to
be
part
of
the
thought
process
and
so
I,
don't
know
what
the
City
Council's
thoughts
are
on
that,
but
I
can
imagine
that
if
it's
a
difference
of
you
know
15
or
20
million
dollars
to
go
one
way
or
the
other
there,
they
may
not
move
that
way.
So
I
don't
know,
but
but
I
guess
what
I
would
suggest
now.
Obviously
you
can't
make
any
decisions
today.
G
G
G
C
A
C
C
C
C
F
F
Can
we
look
to
you
to
say
guys
if
I
were
you?
This
is
what
I
would
do
based
on
you,
knowing
both
sides
of
this
situation,
or
can
we
rely
upon
you
to
you're
gonna,
be
there
I
know
you
won't
be
quiet,
but
I
mean
so
I
mean
I.
Think
we
look
for
people
like
you
who
know
the
story
to
say
you
know.
If
our
plan
ahead
is
this,
then
we
probably
I
would
recommend
that
you
guys
consider
doing
this
and
I.
Think
Kathy's
point
is
well-taken.
F
There
might
be
some
immediate
needs
we
have
to
address,
but
you
know
I
think
that
we
definitely
are
prepared
to
tell
you
what
we'd
like
to
do
with
it.
This
is
your
second
visit
that
I,
remember,
they're,
not
gonna,
be
many
more
and
so
I
guess
you
know
how?
How
do
we
together?
Maybe
help
us
come
up
with
what
what's
a
good
solution
for
this
well.
G
I
think
one
thing
could
be
that
you're
building
subcommittee
could
meet
with
Michael
and
I.
Basically
we
are
the
liaisons
from
measure
J,
so
obviously
measure
J
cannot
all
come
because
of
Brown
and
that's
not
how
we
can
operate
so,
but
we
could
have
a
smaller
meeting
between
the
subcommittee
and
you
can
give
us
some
direction
now.
G
We
will
do
everything
we
can
to
convince
measure
J
our
guess
of
your
position,
but
obviously
measure
J
is
its
own
committee
and
whether
or
not
they
would
you
know
if
it's
okay.
Yes,
you
mentioned
the
Frye
building,
but
you
know
maybe
people
on
measure
J
say:
oh
well,
that's
not
really
a
priority
to
us
and
so
we're
not
gonna
vote
for
that.
So
I
don't
know,
but
but
yes
that's
how
we
would
I
think
that
would
be
the
best
way
to
proceed
rather
than
but
I
do
think.
F
I'm,
so
hopeful
and
I
think
this
will
will
hear
this
on
Tuesday
when
you
look
at
the
list
of
people
who
are
participating.
That
shows
that
they're
very
interested
in
about
how
our
library
goes
forward
in
this
community.
We
may
have
a
clear
message
and
it
might
be
clear
for
all
of
us
what
we've
got
to
do
so,
I'm,
really
hopeful
that
you
know
it
may
not
be
three
months.
Maybe
it's
two
months
you're
coming
back
and
we
have
meetings
and
we
have
an
idea.
Yeah.
Thank.
C
G
G
G
B
F
A
You
draft
copy
our
annual
report.
We
try
to
keep
it
simple,
includes
statistics
and
some
general
highlights
about
what
has
happened
throughout
the
year
and
thank
you
to
Julie
worn
for
writing
most
of
it
and
arranging
it
and
coordinating
the
statistics
and
all
of
that
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have
about
it.
A
You
they
know
what
the
next
step
is,
that
we
take
it
to
City
Council
for
them
to
receive
and
file,
and
that
should
go
probably
February
20th
if,
unless
there's
something
that
gets
bumped
from
that,
but
our
statistics
just
so
you
all
know.
Our
statistics
are
reported
to
the
California
State
Library
they're.
A
Update
we
have
a
city
council
subcommittee
meeting
on
Monday,
the
28th
at
3:00
p.m.
it
is
in
the
small
conference
room
and
that
will
include
Lisa,
Middleton
and
Christie
whole
stash
from
City
Council,
and
then
our
city
engineers,
hi
MA,
Francisco,
hi,
May
and
I
believe
everybody's
gonna,
be
there
Stacy
Schaefer
from
the
facilities
department
is
going
to
be
there.
A
They
are
going
to
be
there
and
then
I
want
to
say
Marcus
and
probably
David
ruddy
will
attend
and
that's
in
order
for
us
to
discuss
the
costs,
because
the
plans
have
gone
to
HSP
B
and
they
went
to
architectural
advisory
for
advice,
and
then
they
came
back
to
you
all.
The
board
which
you
approved
and
the
issue
is
that
they
design
costs
that
we
got
to
do.
A
The
design
that
has
been
approved
by
all
of
these
committees
is
going
to
cost
roughly
$40,000
just
to
do
the
design,
and
obviously
we
know
that
you
all
have
only
approved
one
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
this
project,
and
we
know
the
project.
Estimates
are
going
to
come
in
at
about
two
hundred
thousand
so
and
I
don't
know
if
that
includes
the
design.
So
we
don't
want
to
proceed
with
doing
a
design
if
there,
if
the
funds
are
not
approved.
So
why
waste
your
$40,000
doing
a
design
if,
if
it's
not
gonna,
be
approved?
C
A
We
have
what
number
one
it
needs
to
be:
ADA
accessible,
we
are
not
and
the
ramp
isn't
accessible
and
that's
our
ad
a
access.
So
that's
number
one
which
the
the
trustees
have
said.
They
don't
want
to
pay
for
that
portion.
They
believe
it's
the
city's
responsibility.
So
that's
one
number
two:
we
want
that
to
be
a
space
that
we
could
use
for
events,
gatherings
potential
rentals
for
receptions,
meet
and
greets
story
times,
classical
guitar
events,
what
not
a
place
for
people
to
go
out
and
just
sit
and
use
their
use.
A
Their
phone
read
their
tablet
whatnot,
but
right
now
it
is
not
conducive
to
anything
except
passing
through
and
and
so
we've
had
some
issues
with
the
gravel.
That's
out
there.
It's
not.
The
gravel
is
not
a
good
medium
for
for
our
facilities
to
do
proper
cleanups,
and
we
have
some
issues
with
things
being
left
behind
that
don't
belong
there
and
it's
really
hard
to
clean.

Answer
that
I
do
programs
there
monthly
for
the
well
wood
during
season.
We've
also
had
author
book
signings
and
events.
We've
done
story
times,
they're
testing
how
they
would
be
perceived
downtown.
We've
also
done
book
fairs
and
things
like
that
in
the
last
four
years,
and
although
it's
not
ideal,
absolutely
you
know,
I
would
love
to
have
you
know
more
room
and
things
like
that.
It
has
worked
for
the
last
four
years,
using
those
options
that
Jeannie
was
say
in
the
city's
program
for
public
restrooms
and
then
the
building
behind
us.
C
A
B
C
E
C

A
A
C
F
A
B
F
G
C
G
This
project
was
supposed
to
be
all
done
at
that
time
and
and
and
it
didn't
happen
and
the
building
needed
to
get
open
and
so
HS
PB
gave
a
variance
to
that
thing
that
it
needed
to
come
back
and
it's
just
been
languishing.
Since,
unfortunately,
the
gravel
was
a
stopgap
measure
because
construction
had
worked
back
there
and
was
all
muddy,
so
we
couldn't
open
the
building
with
mud,
but
the
ad
a
situation,
because
it
has
to
go
between
the
Flores
building
where
Ben
and
Jerry's
is,
and
the
library
that
is
not
compliant.
G
It's
on
a
slant
going
to
different
directions
so
because
this
board
didn't
want
to
pay
for
that
part
of
it,
the
city
you
know
said:
okay,
they
they
held.
They
held
up
thirty
thousand
dollars
to
do
that
sort
of
one
little
walkway,
but
then
it
still
was
taking
them
back.
The
other
issue
is
that,
although
this
patio
looks
like
it
goes
to
the
other,
building,
that
building
has
a
has
a
variance
of
about
ten
or
twelve
feet,
even
though
the
city
wishes
to
with
this
project,
make
it
all
compliant.
G
So
some
of
that
old
cement
furniture,
all
those
things
that
are
there
from
Ben
&
Jerry's-
would
be
cleared
out
of
there.
And
the
bathroom
issue
is
is
an
issue
that
former
city
councillors
made
that
decision,
that
they
could
not
afford
to
take
square
footage
out
of
the
building
and
the
only
way
that
they
could
make
the
building.
Actually
work
was
to
have
the
Historical
Society
kind
of
rent,
part
of
the
building
or
at
least
part
of
the
building
or
give
them
part
of
the
building.
G
G
C
C
A
A
A
F
B
B
C
E
Also,
people
like
from
the
school
district-
oh
I,
got
an
email
today
from
a
representative
from
the
school
district.
That
said,
she
copied
me
on
it,
reminding
them
to
RSVP
to
meet
to
us
because
they
were
telling
her
they're
coming,
but
they
haven't
told
us
they're
coming
so
they're
not
on
the
list
yet,
but
very
was
supposedly
coming.
So
it's
it's
definitely.
A
A
It
was
finalized
yesterday
and
we
had
our
phone
conference
with
them.
So
our
strategic
planning
date
is
on
Tuesday
January
29th,
it's
from
9:00
to
3:30
and
we
are
providing
lunch.
It
will
be
at
the
Palm
Springs
Convention
Center
in
the
smoke
tree.
Rooms
which
are
on
the
east
side
of
the
building
parking
is
free
and.
A
Company
is
our:
the
consultants
are
from
a
firm
called
library
strategies
and
they
are
formed
in
from
historically
from
the
st.
Paul
Minnesota,
the
Friends
of
the
library.
They
were
so
good
at
doing
their
own
fundraising
and
strategic
planning
that
other
people
reached
out
to
them,
and
they
said
you
know
what
we
could
start
an
organization
and
support
our
friends.
So
it's
there
it's
interesting
because
they're,
a
non-profit
and
their
proceeds
go
back
to
their
friends
at
the
library,
and
they
know
libraries
and.
A
Just
come,
it's
gonna
be
fun.
We're
gonna
do
general
sessions
in
the
like
a
general
all
group
in
the
morning.
I'll
do
a
present,
there's
some
couple
presentations
and
then
we're
it
have
lunch
and
then
we'll
do
breakout
sessions
based
off
our
morning.
Decisions
on
three
top
started
three
top
things.
We
want
to
focus
on
the.
F
Wanted
this
body
to
do
a
welcome
as
part
of
the
process,
because
the
strategic
plan
was
funded
by
the
trust
fund
and
we
are
the
ones
who
have
been
pushing
for
this
in
anticipation
of
the
next
phase
of
our
history,
so
Harry
and
I,
because
when
you
guys
had
not
been
a
name,
Jat
Harry
and
I
are
gonna,
but
I
will
recognize
you
guys,
please
we
so
you
can
stand
up
and
say
it.
It's
going
to
be
a
very
short
and
sweet
welcome,
and
this
is
why
we're
here-
and
this
is
why
we're
looking
forward.
F
F
A
F
B
B
F
Hold
on
guys
we're
moving
along
to
our
next
legislative
action
and
that's
the
last
one
to
set
a
report
date
for
library
foundation.
Annual
report
I
mean
I,
Harry
I.
You
can
correct
me,
but
since
we've
had
our
first
meeting
in
a
long
time,
waiting
anticipation
of
Tuesday
I
would
say
we
would
plan
on
having
a
report
in
a
couple
of
months
is.
B
F
It
I
think
we're
setting
it
for
them
right,
so
we're
saying
that
the
foundation
needs
to
be
have
their
report
in
to
us
by
the
April
meeting.
So
you'll
only
put
that
on
the
agenda
as
an
agenda
item
for
review
and
approval,
so
committee
reports.
We
should
go
through
this
pretty
quickly
because
we've
been
beating
some
of
these
to
death
already
so
the
Advocacy
Committee
have
they
met.
F
A
A
F
So,
in
keeping
with
last
year,
when
you're
ready,
when
you
have
your
budget,
ready,
you'll
call
the
Budget
Committee
to
come
and
meet
with
you
review
it
identify
for
them
where
you
need
us
to.
If
you
need
us
to
speak
up,
there's
any
possibility
that,
even
if
you
ask
for
a
flat
will
they
try
to
decrease
those
kinds
of
things?
Have
we're
kind
of
ready
for
one
before
that?
So
that's.
C
Your
cost
just
the
general
memory
and
is
this
sort
of
this-
is
no
I.
What
I
didn't
offer
to
do
is
this:
where
literacy
comes
in
that,
if
we
had
a
subcommittee
working
on
literacy
and
you
needed
to
bring
someone
in
to
work
on
literacy
programs,
that
would
be
a
budget
item
and
a
budget
request.
Mm-Hmm.
C
F
That's
a
good
point,
though,
if
on
Tuesday
members
of
the
community
are
insistent
that
we
add
a
program
around
advocacy
or
whatever
that
of
the
program
might
be
it's
customary
I
mean
you
have
gone
through
a
couple
of
rounds
to
get
something
approved
right.
So
would
we
have
time
to
quickly
put
something
into
the
budget
for
that
first
round,
like
advocacy
or
I?
Don't.
C
A
C
A
Well,
right
now,
I'm
really
concerned
about
the
front,
the
JC
fry
building,
because
it's
we
had
a
water
issue
and
we
had
demolition
in
there
and
so
we've
that
building
there's
a
lot
that
can
be
done
with
that
and
it's
it's
not
I,
don't
feel
like
it's
a
little
huge
expense,
but
it
could
be.
Who
knows
it
could
be
a
million
dollars,
but
compared
to
a
twenty
million
dollar
library,
it's
a
small
project,
so
that
could
help
us
do
different
things
in
different
ways.
A
F
A
C
A
To
bring
back
passports
but
I
need
a
staff
member
to
do
that.
We
used
to
do
passport
issue
issuing
at
the
library
but
and
it
brought
in
some
revenue
for
the
live
event
back
in
the
day
it
brought
in
late.
Seventy
five
thousand
dollars
a
year
in
revenue
for
the
to
the
city
for
in
in
fees
that
the
city
got
to
keep.
B
F
C
I
get
told
no,
no,
but
being
told
no
is
okay,
it's
you
advocacy
and
asking
because
I
think
we
have
real
things
I'm
very
that
we
don't
have
I
know
I'm
running
on,
but
I
was
also
thinking
measure
J.
If
there
could
be
somebody
who
improved
the
meeting
room
that
you
have
at
the
library
when
I
looked
at
well,
would
the
meeting
room
is
gorgeous
and
your
meeting
room
was.
A
A
B
F
F
Well,
I
mean
we've
talked
about
strategic
planning
all
day,
so
I
think
that's.
You
know
I
I'm,
so
hopeful
that
this
is
is
here
finally
and
I
know
that
the
staff
has
worked
really
hard
to
get
us
this
far
and
I
think
this
is
going
to
be
so
worth
it
at
the
end
for
us
to
actually
achieve
the
things
that
you
guys
want
to
see
happen.
A
F
Some
way,
I
think
you
guys
should
take
notice
that
this
many
people
in
this
community
are
coming
to
spend
the
day
because
they
really
feel
that
you're
worth
it
it's
been.
This
department
needs
some
attention,
so
I
think
that's
because
you
guys
have
been
working
really
hard.
You
know
to
bring
it
to
these
attention,
so
I
think
I'm
hopeful,
yeah
we
talked
about
well,
would
are
there
any
other
questions
about.
Well,
would
okay
staff
representatives
reports.
A
F
A
Yes,
yes,
and
we
are
doing
drag
queen
story
hour
every
other
month.
It's
been
so
successful,
so
supportive
in
our
community.
We
probably
have
three
times
the
attendees
as
our
regular
story
hour
and
we
are,
we
have
had
an
inquiry
from
NBC
Nightly
News
and
they
want
to
do
include
us
in
a
story
that
they're
working
on
for
March,
so
the
March
drag
queen
story
hour
will
be
March
5th,
which
is
Mardi
Gras,
which
will
be
fun,
and
so
we're
very
excited
about
that.
A
We
have
a
big
author
coming
next
week
at
the
library
free
of
charge.
Author
Melanie
Benjamin
will
be
here.
She
is
the
author
of
the
Aviators
wife,
the
Swans
of
Fifth
Avenue,
and
her
newest
book
is
called
the
girls
in
the
picture
and
it's
a
fictionalization
about
Mary
Pickford.
So
that
should
be
fine
with
local
interest,
because
Mary
Pickford,
you
know
Mary
Pickford,
Theater
and
her
local
ties
here.
A
A
Society,
Ellis,
T
literary
society
of
the
desert
had
her
as
I
guess
speaker,
one
time
because
you
got
to
see
generation,
yeah
Palm
Springs
speaks,
we
had
a
we've,
had
two
really
wonderful
events.
This
month
we
were
so
grateful
to
Emilio
estévez
who
partnered
with
us
and
the
Film
Festival
to
come
for
the
Palm
Springs
International
Film
Festival.
He
brought
his
film
the
public
which
is
set
in
a
library.
It's
a
feature
film
and
we
did
that
event
on
January
5th.
During
the
Film
Festival,
the
film
got
a
standing
ovation.
A
A
So
if
you
are
looking
for
a
venue,
we
have
a
rental
opportunity
for
you,
because
the
library
is
a
beautiful
evening
facility.
Everything
gets
pushed
out
of
the
middle
of
the
room.
It's
it's
a
it's
a
great
space,
ok,
nice!
You
could.
We
had
some
really
great
lighting
and
it
was
so
much
fun
and
then
on
this
past,
Saturday
Janet
mock
came
and
we
had
her
event
at
the
Camelot
theaters
we
had
about
288
people
attend,
so
it
was.
It
was
a
good
event.
A
E
A
So
we
had
representatives
from
the
center
so
someone
from
the
sink
from
sanctuary,
Palm
Springs
and
then
does
her
AIDS
Project
and
just
a
wonderful
event.
She,
but
she
did
a
great
job
and
everybody
all
the
moderators
did
a
great
job.
It
was
a.
It
was
a
nice
event.
Virgos
and
the
attendees
really
enjoyed
it
now.
Next
month
we
have
Jane
Fonda
coming
and
her
event
is
sold
out
very.
F
A
A
Make
a
little
money,
the
friends
that
is
the
Friends
of
the
library
and
the
Palm
Springs
Cultural
Center,
who
have
partnered
together,
just
like
the
Friends
of
the
library
partner
with
the
with
modernism
week,
to
produce
events
as
a
fundraiser.
So
we'll
make
a
little
bit
of
money
on
that
one.
And
then
we
also
have
an
event
is
February
16th
at
7:30,
the
VIP
reception
starts
at
6:00
and
then
in
March
we
have
Rick
Steves,
the
the
European
travel
guru,
who
was
on
PBS
and
everywhere,
and
we've
sold
three
hundred
and
fifty
five
tickets.
A
So
far
for
him-
and
that's
I'm
very
happy
about
that-
we
haven't
even
really
advertised
him,
but
his
event
is
on
a
Sunday
afternoon,
so
March
3rd
at
3:30
p.m.
the
VIP
reception
meet-and-greet
for
him
is
at
two
o'clock
and
that
Jane
Fonda
and
Rick
Steves
will
be
at
the
Palm
Springs
High
School
at
the
Richard
Center
for
the
Arts.
A
A
You
would
get
an
actual
high
school
diploma
and
something
I
learned
from
college
of
the
desert
is
that
any
of
our
recent
graduates
can
instantly
go
right
into
college
of
the
desert
and
get
their
first
year
free
school,
so
high
school
students,
GED
graduates
and
online
high
school
graduates,
even
though
they're
adults,
if
they
transition
directly
into
their
program,
they
they
can
at
least
get
their
first
year
for
you
almost
thinking
they
said
two
years
but
I'm
not
sure
about
that.
So
that's
a
really
wonderful
thing.
We
do
have
openings
for
that.
B
F
Trusty
comments
I
would
just
like
to
start
off
as
saying
again
welcoming
David
and
Kathy.
We're
so
glad
you're
here
and
I
know
how
passionate
you
are
about.
Libraries
I
think
you'll
find
this
to
be
a
really
great
opportunity
to
serve
our
community.
So
we
really
are
glad
you're
here,
but
I
also
I
want
to
go
on
record
I
apologize
for
missing
the
last
meeting,
but
I
would
like
to
go
on
record
for
thanking
both
Ron
Wilson
and
Ashley
Dunphy
for
their
service.
They
both
worked
very
hard
on
this
board
and
I'm.
F
Sorry
I
wasn't
here
to
be
a
part
of
that.
The
oh
I
did
see
bran
the
next
day
and
had
to
bumped
into
him
in
a
restaurant,
so
I
was
apologized,
but
both
of
them
worked
very
hard
for
this
organization
and
will
will
be
missed
well
yeah,
so
I
want
to
go
back
without
any
other
comments
from
any
of
the
trustees.
I
know.
D
E
E
A
F
C
A
You
don't
have
to
be
televised.
You
just
like
to
be
televised
cuz,
it's
good
for
the
community,
but
there
are
times
and
November
and
December.
We
usually
aren't
televised,
because
we
can't
because
the
fourth
Thursday
every
November
is
Thanksgiving,
so
we
always
end
up
moving
usually
to
the
third,
which
is
a
conflict
with
measure
J.
So
we
end
up
moving
our
meeting,
so
it
happens
so.
F
C
F
D
Well,
I
also
want
to
give
a
heads
up
on
May
as
well,
but
I'm
not
committed
to
it
at
this
point,
but
it
just
happens
to
be
that
the
meeting
is
meeting
on
the
weekend
of
my
35th
reunion
from
Yale,
so
I'm
gonna
keep
that
kind
of
like
in
abeyance
at
the
time
being,
because
I
know
we're
kind
of
working
with
that.
Well,.
