A
When
we
start
with
public
comment,
we
typically
try
and
keep
it
to
two
minutes.
But
this
is
a
pretty
informal
meeting,
even
though
we
have
to
follow
certain
rules
because
it's
a
standing
subcommittee.
So
we
try
and
keep
this
a
lot
more
informal
than
like
a
City
Council
meeting.
But
if
anyone
wants
to
start
with
something.
C
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
doing
this
meeting
and
the
other
meeting
the
Town
Hall.
So
what
I
was
trying
to
stress
last
time
was
that
I
think
the
city
needs
to
take
a
stronger
stand
towards
supporting
locally
owned
business
as
opposed
to
just
businesses
which,
which
I
believe
is
the
heart
of
Palm
Springs
I
mean
I,
think
we
need
to
have
both
national
brands
and
local
brands,
but
I
believe
it's.
What
the
locally
owned
businesses
make.
Palm
Springs
like
no
place
else
plus
locally
owned
businesses
tend
to
reinvest
in
the
community.
C
They
give
more
to
our
nonprofits
and
I.
Think
it's
an
important
balance
that
we
need
to
have,
but
they
need
special
consideration.
So
there's
a
number
of
things
I've
looked
at
what
other
cities
are
doing,
that
I
thought
things
that
Palm
Springs
should
look
at.
So
one
thing
is
that
when
developers
have
multi,
retail
or
hospitality,
spaces
is
to
require
them
to
have
a
certain
percentage
for
locally
owned
businesses,
which
I
think
would
help
I
think
it
happens
sometimes
naturally,
but
I
think
it
would
help
a
lot
also
towards
the
public
perception
towards
larger
developments.
C
I
think
also
that
you
can
have
a
certain
business
diversity
and
minority-owned
business
requirement
that
a
lot
of
other
cities
that
have
done
all
over
even
San
Francisco
has
certain
things
about
formula
businesses
going
into
local
neighborhoods
I
think
also,
there
should
be
things
for
adaptive,
reuse
of
buildings,
so
historic
buildings
tend
to
have
their
own
challenges
and
I.
Think
if
you
urged
local
had
some
kind
of
incentive
for
locally
owned
businesses
to
go
in
there,
it
would
make
a
lot
of
sense
also
with
vacant
buildings.
C
I
also
think
the
city
needs
a
small
business
or
sorry
small
business,
a
small
business
or
economic
development
department
or
person
specifically
for
locally
owned
businesses.
A
lot
of
locally
owned
businesses,
don't
have
large
staffs
it's
hard
for
them
to
navigate
permits
and
and
understand
how
things
work.
I
think
that
would
be
extremely
helpful.
I
think
it
also
needs
an
advocate,
so
not
every
local
business
is
emailing.
All
five
of
our
council
members
and
I
also
think
that
there
should
be
incentives
should
be
geared
towards
locally
owned
businesses.
C
I'm
also
going
to
mention,
as
I
mentioned
all
of
you
before
I
think
the
airport
I
know
you
don't
control
it,
but
you
have
more
influence
so
that,
even
though
there's
one
cart
coming
up
for
renewal
that
there
is
a
portion
of
the
whole
Airport,
a
real
portion,
that's
low,
dedicated
towards
locally
owned
businesses,
I
think
that
was
all
I
had
on
my
list.
Yes,.
C
C
A
D
E
F
We
have
a
few
points
that
we'd
like
to
make
and
hope
that
you'd
be
willing
to
listen
to
us
and
I
really
agreed
with
what
you
said
that
it's
very
difficult
to
be
a
small,
independent
local
business.
In
this
community.
The
antique
galleries
is
12,000
square
feet.
We
have
40
some-odd
vendors,
who
have
cases
spaces
and
walls
that
they
rent
from
us.
F
It
was
a
vacant
building
that
was
regen
terrified
that
we
cost
lots
of
money
to
do
when
we
spend
about
$4,000
a
month
in
advertising
and
use
a
POS
system
that
really
you're
going
to
get
every
sale.
We
make
that
the
taxes
on
every
sale
you
make
and
as
opposed
to
most
of
the
collectives,
which
have
two
different
types
of
sales
books
when
they
do
it
manually
so
you're
getting
from
us
quite
a
bit
of
who
we
are
we're
on.
F
F
So
in
the
past,
when
we
first
started
our
business,
we
own
the
building,
as
well
as
the
parking
lot
on
the
east
side.
The
parking
lot
has
about
50
parking
spaces.
We
used
to
hold
monthly
parking
lot
sales
that
generated
more
business
by
10
o'clock.
In
the
morning,
then
we
ever
saw
in
our
busiest
days,
which
would
be
modernism
on
the
weekends
which
is
like
somebody's
Christmas
in
an
area.
That's
not
gentrified.
F
That's
just
usually
the
first
time
of
the
month
that
they
will
ever
make
money
that
day.
So
it's
just
a
wonderful
way
to
bring
in
people
to
our
area,
and
we
really
would
like
to
see
the
ability
to
do
that.
We
don't
quite
understand
why
we
can't
do
it.
Considering
it's
our
property.
There
is,
they
said,
we've
been
told
it's,
because
emergency
vehicles
couldn't
get
down
the
street,
which
is
not
true,
there's
plenty
of
space
for
emergency
vehicles.
F
They
said
it's
because
we'd
be
blocking
parking
for
the
businesses,
but
on
Sunday
morning,
between
8:00
and
one
o'clock,
there
are
no
other
businesses
on
our
street
that
are
open
and
but
they'd
be
doing
any
damage
to
buy
people
parking
in
the
area
that
people
like
tam
and
Bill
Sanders
at
townies
bagels.
He
gets
more
people
when
we
do
that,
and
it
just
helps
the
whole
area
so
to
speak,
and
it's
we
pay
for
the
advertising
to
get
people
to
come
in,
but
the
other
businesses
are
benefiting
from
what
we're
doing.
F
We
also
have
opened
it
up
to
nonprofits.
We've
opened
it
up
to
people
who
are
raising
money
at
times.
We've
helped
for
somebody
raising
money
for
somebody
who
is
disabled
to
be
able
to
get
in
his
home
we've
hooked
up
with
sanctuary
house
and
fundraisers
with
them.
So
it's
not
just
feed
our
business
and
our
40
vendors,
but
it's
you
know
if
we're
willing
to
do
anything
with
the
community
we've
been
ingrained
with
the
community.
F
We
think
it
would
be
a
great
place
for
the
vintage
market,
that's
at
the
Camelot
theaters,
and
we
know
that
there's
precedent
of
utilizing
private
spaces
for
these
type
of
sales.
The
the
the
during
modernism,
it's
decayed
h3k,
has
their
sale
out
there
in
their
parking
lot.
Camelot
theaters
has
a
sale,
so
it's
not
as
if
there
isn't
precedent
for
it
and
we
are
so
off
the
beaten
track
that
were
not
going
to
be
a
bother
to
anybody.
F
We
also
would
like
to
see
that
area
we
had
tried
once
before,
but
the
people
who
were
on
the
committee
to
do
this
with
us
from
this
area
they've
gone
out
of
business
because
they
couldn't
make
it,
but
we
had
gotten
together
and
wanted
to
make
a
designate
the
area
as
a
sunny
dunes,
antistick,
antique
district,
there's
still
about
six
to
seven
antique
stores
in
that
area.
You
have
the
Arts
District
with
their
nice
sign.
It
would
be
really
nice
if
we
can
have
a
sign
or
two
designating
us
as
an
antique
area.
F
G
B
G
Businesses
like
mine
are
coming
in
slowly
but
surely,
and
in
my
business
is
a
little
bit
more
higher-end,
it's
catering
to
a
higher
socioeconomic
level.
We
we
had
all
socio-economic
levels,
but
we
happen
to
have
merchandise
that
that
is
appealing
to
a
higher
socio-economic
level
as
well.
Our
situation,
as
you
knows,
we're
off
the
street.
Many
of
you
have
have
been
by
and
in
tremendous
support.
As
far
as
coming
out
to
understand
the
situation,
so
you've
been
buyer
to
our
store
to
understand
that
we're
off
the
street.
G
G
Believe
me
I
know
that
it's
not
that
I'm
trying
to
say
that
that
you
guys
are
not
putting
out
effort,
because
I
so
appreciate
the
effort
that
has
been
put
out
but
I'd
like
to
see
the
a-frame
signs,
where
we
look
at
the
linear
footage
from
north
to
south
and
and
consider
as
this
is
a
space
in
front
of
another
building.
Is
there
available
space
in
front
that
an
a-frame
sign
can
go
into
the
area?
That's
just
to
between
the
street
front,
which
is
this
the
curb
at
three
feet?
G
So,
for
example,
in
front
of
our
area,
there's
there
appears
to
be
and
again
I'm
not
I'm,
not
an
engineer,
a
city
engineer:
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
the
details,
but
it
appears
that
there
would
be
room
for
two
a-frame
signs
and
it
would
not
be
upon
it
would
be,
as
you
guys
discussed,
it
would
be
the
the
the
business
owners
working
with
the
property
management
management,
the
property
owners
coming
to
the
city.
Saying
hey.
G
This
is
what
we'd
like
to
do
with
the
with
the
a-frame
signs
in
this
section
at
this
time,
so
so
put
the
the
responsibility
on
to
the
business
owners
and
the
property
owners
to
decide.
What's
what
what
will
go
in
that
a
lot
of
space?
We're
allowed
one
a-frame
sign:
we're
allowed
to
a-frame
signs
in
that
space,
whatever
that
space
allows
then
allow
the
the
property
owners
and
the
and
the
store
owners
to
decide.
Okay,
hey
we're
just
gonna.
Do
a
monument
a-frame
sign
or
we've
got
room
for
two
we're
gonna.
G
Do
business
a-frame
signs
whatever
it
may
be.
This
allows
for
continuation
of
businesses.
If
a
new
business
comes
in
or
whatever
there's
the
changes
it
would
allow
for
that
continuation
from
from
business
to
business
as
it
stands
right
now
when,
when
that
a-frame,
when
I
don't
have
an
a-frame
sign
out
front,
I
have
no
business,
I
have
no
business
and,
as
we
go
into
summertime,
we're
definitely
not
gonna
have
any
business
and
we
plan
to
we
plan
down,
and
it's
that
significant
for
us
that
we
have
an
a-frame
sign
that
we
have
signage.
G
There's
been
the
last
point.
Is
there
have
been
some
comments
that
hey?
Well
you
you
made
that
choice
where
you're
at
well,
when
I
was
with
Rob
what
Rob
trying
to
find
his
face.
The
free
honey
is
that
that
was
the
only
space
because
he
you
go
to
Henri
Frank
arcade
and
he
takes
three
to
four
months
to
decide.
One
of
the
brothers,
the
one
brother
I
think
Roger
was
like
yeah.
Let's
do
it.
G
The
other
brother
was
like,
let's,
let's
think
about
it,
so
that
ended
up
being
our
only
choice
so
and
then
there's
one
more
discussion,
which
is
the
the
the
parking.
Do
you
want
me
to
hand
off
to
someone
else
or
do
you
want
to
continue
on?
Okay,
I'll.
Be
brief,
so
so
the
parking
between
right
across
from
the
Hyatt
there's
there's
our
area
and
you
come
in
and
there's
Canon
copy
and
in
sandwich
spot
in
US
and
Joseph
Saliba,
and
then
there's
a
parking
lot
right
there.
G
Now,
on
the
flip
side
of
this,
we
have
a
bar
there,
the
hair,
the
dog
and-
and
we
have
my
PD
pizza',
the
whole
place
turns
into
flips
upside
down
at
night.
It
becomes
a
whole
different
clientele,
and
so
it
goes
from
very
great
middle
socioeconomic
to
higher
socioeconomic
level
to
a
hodgepodge
at
night.
And
so
the
concern
is
hey.
Well,
there
may
be
people
drinking
and
driving
and
such
so
so
that
does
have
to.
G
We
do
have
to
take
I
would
recommend
that
you
guys
take
that
into
consideration,
that
we
don't
want
people
out
on
the
road
drinking
and
driving
as
well
or
drunken
driving,
and
so
and
it
could
be
that
they're
over
serving
their
patrons
or
else
someone
who's
petite
can
have
two
drinks
and
be
over
served.
We
don't
know
so,
but
anyhow,
so
that's
my
concern
is
that
we
can.
We
turn
this
maybe
into
twelve
our
parking
lot,
so
so
the
first
ones
a-frames
signs.
Second,
is
the
hyatt
all
right.
B
Town-Hall
follow-up.
Yes,
so
we
have
attached
the
community
input.
Is
this
the
survey?
These
are
the
public
comments
that
we
got
at
the
forum,
so
just
in
general
and
for
people
who
aren't
there.
We
had
a
business
forum
nona
and
the
chamber
put
forward
a
survey
that
businesses
filled
out
to
give
feedback
about
how's
the
city
and
our
subcommittee
can
better
support
local
businesses.
B
What
incentive
programs
we
could
do
that
we're
considering
to
support
local
businesses
and
other
kind
of
updates
from
us
about
what
we've
been
doing
on
the
site
program
on
homelessness,
different
other
topics,
vacant
building
ordinance,
and
so
we
just
wanted
to
have
a
item
on
this
agenda
and
to
follow
up
I,
don't
know
if
no,
no,
you
have
anything
else
to
add
about
feedback
or
Jeff
about
the
forum
and
sort
of
take
away
in
action
items
that
we
can
put
on
a
future
agenda.
Yeah.
A
E
A
Maybe
we
just
start
at
the
top,
which
is
construction
ways
and
David
would
be
great
to
get
your
input,
but
one
of
the
things
you
know
I
know
we
have
the
potential
for
a
quiet
Sunday,
which
we
already
have
the
construction,
but
for
electric
gardening,
it's
at
leaf,
blowers,
etc.
That
we've
been
waiting
on
the
tribe,
I
think
yeah.
Where
is
that.
D
A
So
tied
into
that
and
that
came
from
neighborhood
associations
that
request,
but
especially
the
small
business,
is
when
there's
7
a.m.
construction
noise,
and
you
have
guests
next
door
and
especially
a
small
hotel
that
does
weddings
and
events.
It
just
destroys
their
business,
and
so
some
of
them
suggest
that
no
construction
at
all
in
peak
season,
which
I
think
would
be
really
challenging.
But
are
there
things?
Can
we
think
about
one,
maybe
no
construction,
we
on
weekends,
when
they
have
most
of
their
guests,
but
also
certain
types
of
construction
not
happening.
A
A
Some
ideas-
maybe
we
could
think
about
on
how
to
do
this
in
a
way.
That's
not
going
to
stop
construction,
but
also
schedules
for
folks,
I
mean
I.
Think
one
of
the
things
we
heard
from
and
because
I'm
also
on
the
liaison
to
the
small
hotel
tea
bed
from
a
lot
of
those
hotels
is
even
if
they
had
a
schedule
and
they
knew
what
to
tell
their
guests.
It
would
really
help
you
know
if
they
had
a
schedule
a
week
ahead
for
what
was
planned
and
when
they
could
try
and
work
around
it.
A
D
We
can
do
a
couple
things
one
we
can
see
there
there's
some
good
models
and
what
other
cities
have
done
in
terms
of
particularly
tourist
towns
with
hotels.
Also,
you
could
require
notice
requirements,
part
of
the
permit.
So
when
they
do
it,
then
then
those
people
in
the
area
are
are
notified
to
let
their
guests
know.
So
you
know
my
sense
is:
is
you
know
we
just
bring
back
some
menu
items,
whether
it
is
to
this
group
or
to
counsel
and
give
us
some
direction?
Okay,
yeah.
E
B
B
If
we
could
also
just
look
at
my
idea
was
the
different
zone,
so
this
is
really
just
affecting
sort
of
the
central
business
district
or
certain
areas
where
there's
hotels,
so
I
don't
know
if
we
legislate
it
by
changing
that
construction,
noise,
ordinance
or
if
you
think
there
are
better
ways,
I
really
like
the
idea
of
the
permit
requiring
notice
I,
think
it's
a
fantastic
idea,
because
that
seems
like
the
primary
concern
that
they
just
need
to
tell
their
guests
about
it.
I
think.
D
E
A
I
have
one
question
on
whether
it's
a
weekend,
some
you
know
some
neighborhoods
have
asked
they
want
a
weekend
with
no
noise,
others,
you
know
maybe
well
tribal
property,
they
don't
want
it.
Is
there
a
way
to
do
things
based
on
what
a
neighborhood
might
want,
without
it
being
a
total
complicated
mess?
Please.
D
Neighborhood
by
neighborhood
that
would
be
complicated.
Let
me
let
me
let
me
offer
I
think.
D
D
B
H
And
we
might
look
at
our
noise
ordinance,
which
does
distinguish
by
types.
So
residential
has
separate
requirements
than
commercial
and
industrial.
So
that
might
be
a
way
that
we
can
take
a
look
at
it
or
looking
at
proximity
to
residential
areas
where
a
construction
site
abuts
and
our
zone,
property
or
residential,
that
the
notification
requirements
and
start
ours
may
be
different
and.
A
A
So
how
do
we
manage
that
I
mean
I
know
we
do
it
with
vacation
rentals
now.
So
is
there
a
way
to
deal
with
that
because
I
mean
the
reality?
Is
there
are
some
landscapers
who
start
before
8
a.m.
some
who
start
around
6
a.m.
yeah,
and
so
people
feel
they
then
want
to
call
the
police
which
we
don't
want
them
to
do
so
you
know,
is
there
a
noise
hotline
that
would
go
to
the
same
place
as
vacation
rental
hotline
baby?
Well,
that's.
D
That's
been
a
challenge
because
you're
right,
we
generally
don't
have
people
working
at
7:00
a.m.
we.
We
also
have
the
challenge
of
the
summer
heat
or
right
six
months
out
of
the
year,
so
so
it
was
geared
towards
allowing
that
early
start
and
then
the
added
thing
of
the
golf
courses
were
exempt.
Our
golf
courses
were
exempt.
D
D
Even
earlier
right
so
now
that
being
said,
it's
not
to
say,
we
can't
modify
this,
you
know
and
you
yeah
there's
no
one
working,
they
would
call
the
police
it's
likely.
The
police
wouldn't
respond,
isn't
a
priority.
So
you
know
you
you
could
you
could
modify
code
enforcement
for
early
starts,
so
so
those
things
are
possible.
It
just
takes
some
some
effort
or
you
can
get
there,
but
the
key
thing
is
we'd
have
to
come.
You
know
dealing
with
the
landscapers
in
the
summer
heat
and
the
golf
courses,
so
those
are
the
other
stakeholders.
A
And
earlier
in
the
summer
is
something
we
can
do,
I
think
the
concern
I've
been
hearing
and
some
of
the
neighborhood
meetings
is
it's
going,
we've
started
earlier
and
then
it
just
means
they're,
starting
an
hour
before
we
start.
So
you
know,
starting
at
7:00
is
one
thing,
but
when
people
are
woken
up
at
5:00
or
6:00
in
the
morning,
when
you're
not
allowed
and
if
we
decide
we
want
to
allow
it
it's
different
but
right
the
complaint
is
people
are
not
following
the
rules,
and
so
that's
problem
yeah.
So.
D
I'm
calling
the
police
yeah,
so
there
are
ways
that
we
could
a
council
could
legislate
a
later
start
even
for
golf
courses
and
be
whatever.
That
start
is
that
you
ultimately
agree.
There
are
enforcement
mechanisms
we
can
do
even
like.
We
start
something
new
we're
gonna
bring
people
in
overtime
for
these
times
to
deal
with
porn.
We
have
problem
areas
to
help
correct
the
situation.
So
please
give
me
education.
A
B
H
E
A
D
And
Kathy
deals
with
a
lot
of
businesses
answer
a
lot
of
questions
so
that
we
can
can
can
handle
I.
Think
more.
It's
like
the
local
preference
we've
gone
through
different
periods
where
we've
had
more
local
preference.
They've
got
a
five
percent
when
we
do
our
of
peas
and
things
of
that
nature
beyond
that.
Requiring
local
council
hasn't
done
that,
but
that's
not
to
say
that
you
couldn't
when
I
look
at
some
of
these,
like,
for
example,
the
the
the
person
that
wanted
to
do
the
tourism
app.
You
know
the
tourism
stakeholders
themselves
decided.
D
B
I
think
one
of
the
main
takeaways-
and
we
really
heard
you-
was
that
local
businesses
feel
like
they
want
more
support.
Especially
as
these
national
chains
come
in.
And
and
that
was
really
helpful
for
us
to
hear
that.
Even
looking
at
the
the
media
and
the
social
media
that
the
city
is
often
sharing
and.
C
B
B
When
we've
been
talking
about
business
incentives
and
and
restarting
some
of
the
grant
programs,
we
really
have
been
hearing
from
local
businesses
that
that
we
need
a
prioritized
local
and
smaller
businesses,
and
so
that's
what
we're
thinking
and
that
is
all
really
helpful
feedback
for
us.
As
we
move
forward
and
talking
about
incentive
programs,
yeah.
A
And
I
think
on
some
of
this.
So
one
thing
and
it's
something
known
and
I've
been
talking
about
with
a
chamber
for
a
couple
months-
is
how
do
we
come
up
with
a
good
way
to
promote,
what's
unique
about
Palm
Springs
and
that
is
gonna,
be
the
individual
businesses
who
don't
have
the
marketing
power
of
a
national
brand?
A
It
would
be
great
to
be
able
to
do
you
know
you
know
shop,
unique,
unique,
Palm
Springs
and
have
a
website
with
that,
and
things
like
that,
where
we
can
be
really
letting
people
know
what's
unique
about
Palm
Springs,
because
small
businesses
can't
afford
to
buy
a
spot
in
that.
Well,
the
national
brands
can
and
so
I
think
that's
the
kind
of
thing
we
want
to
really
focus
on
how
the
city
in
the
chamber
can
partner
on
this
to
help
the
local
businesses.
You
know
thing.
D
D
I
think
what
you're
you
would
like
something
a
little
bit
more
than
then.
How
do
you
help
you
more
directly,
so
I
think
we've
kind
of
been
successful
in
the
big
picture.
Now
we
need
to
fund
a
little
bit
more
to
the
smaller
picture,
and
so,
and
so
maybe
that
manifests
in
a
little
more
local
preference.
Maybe
it's
it's
a
higher
percentage.
C
A
You
know
with
arrows
pointing
where
people
can
get
an
encroachment
permit,
because
that's
actually
less
burdensome
in
many
ways
for
the
city
to
think
about
having
something
on
that
corner
of
pom
Canyon,
so
they
do
and
send
having
the
maze
of
Sandwich
ports
we
walked
through
today
and
and
I
appreciate
people
like
sandwich
boards,
but
it
was
amazed
today.
You
know
most
people
were
not
following
the
rules
and
so
how
we're
gonna
address
that.
A
But
one
idea
was:
if
we
did
on
each
entrance
to
a
business
district
to
be
able
to
have
some
kind
of
monument
sign
where
I
mean.
Obviously
the
business
would
have
to
pay
to
have
their
sign
on
it,
but
you
see
Rancho,
Mirage
and
Restaurant.
Row
has
those,
and
so
that's
the
kind
of
thing
I
think
we
would
like
to
explore
with
the
city
to
put
some
our
heads
together
and
see
if
we
can
come
up
with
something
that
might
work.
A
The
other
thing
we
noticed
today
was
the
things
we
noticed
I,
both
driving,
because
we
tried
to
really
what
do
you
see
when
you're
driving?
What
do
you
see
when
you're,
walking
and
I
think
we
noticed
the
most?
Were
the
blade
signs
and
some
businesses
have
them?
Some
don't.
But
those
are
relatively
easy,
Flynn
right
for
folks,
because
we
added
that
in
the
new
sign
word
actually.
H
They
have
been
in
there
in
these
sign
ordinance
that
blade
signs
are
permitted.
Going
back
to
your
comments
about
signed
districts.
Again,
we've
got
language
in
the
code
that
allows
us
to
do
signed
districts
upon
the
approval
by
City
Council.
So
right
again,
those
are
things
that
exist
in
our
code
that
I
do
currently
so.
H
A
Simple
sheet
that
we
could
get
to
the
various
business
groups,
so
they
know
how
they
could
yeah.
They
could
do
that
because
and
would
that,
allow
something?
Let's
just
use
sunny
dunes
as
an
example,
because
it
I
think
it's
a
good
one.
We
see
it
in
the
art
district,
but
were
they
if
a
group
of
businesses
wanted
to
try
and
get
an
encroachment
permit?
You
know
on
that
property
on
Palm
Canyon,
sunny
dunes,
that
sort
of
dirt
over
there.
How
would
that
work?
If.
C
A
E
F
Even
more
flexibility
during
the
hot
months
for
having
open
signs,
so
all
the
doors
are
closed.
You
have
a
12,000
square
foot
building
and
you
could
only
have
one
little
small,
open
sign
and
people
drive
down
the
street
and
they
don't
think
you're
open
and
the
you
put
up.
Another
open
sign
and
the
city
comes
by
and
tags
you
for
wanting
to
find
you
for
having
a
couple
open
signs
on
your
window.
So
just
some
flexibility,
so
we
can
do
business.
Thank.
B
You
I
would
like
to
see
us,
add
that
and
consider
that
to
our
ordinances,
we're
considering
it
because
I
did
notice
that
as
well
when
I
was
reading
the
ordinance
in
my
campaign
office
I
had
to
open
signs,
so
it
makes
sense.
Often
when
your
business,
you
have
two
different
doors.
You
need
more
than
just
one
open
sign.
So
I
hear
that
that
would
be
important
to
take
back
and
that's
the
kind
of
feedback
that
we
want
from
you
and
that's.
Why
we're
doing
these
meetings
now
regularly?
B
G
So
I
love
the
idea
as
far
as
I
think
in
an
email
that
I
sent
to
you
guys
looking
at
blocks
or
districts
and
such
like
everybody
within
our
alley
wants
to
to
form
a
district.
They
all
want
to
be
able
to
be
able
to
tell
people
and
inform
people
that
that
this
business,
these
businesses
are
there
so
I
think
it's
fantastic,
but
getting
back
to
as
far
as
the
discussion
with
Nona
in
what
you
guys
were
talking
about,
taking
that
next
step
where
businesses
want
to
promote
their
different
activities.
G
This
was
just
recently
brought
up
in
a
discussion
with
many
of
the
businesses
within
within
our
area
like
how
can
we
pulse
promotional
activities
during
down
times
such
as
Coachella
Valley?
When
that
a
Coachella
concert
during
that
period,
all
the
hotels
are
taken
up,
but
there's
they're
there
in
if
they're
partying
there,
but
they're
not
out
shopping.
So
if
we
were
to
have
some
type
of
strategy,
as
for
the
downtown
district,
how
could
we
can
promote
business
to
locals?
It?
G
Is
it's
not
all
about
promoting
for
locals,
but
the
strategy
needs
to
be
flexible
and
such
that
we
need
to
look
at
local
residents.
We
need
to
look
at
really
pulsing
hard
when
we
have
a
major
activity
set,
such
as
say
the
women's
weekend
or
the
boys
weekend
or
modernism
week-
we're
already
pushing
hard.
But
how
can
we
tailor
that
for
the
businesses
and
be
able
to
bring
the
businesses
along
and
that
success?
So
it's
we
we
were
just
talking
about.
I
was
talking
to
actually
to
joy
about
this.
G
I
Fortunately,
for
us,
a
lot
of
those
visitors
come
in
to
our
office,
so
it's
a
good
chance
for
us
to
be
able
to
give
them
something
to
walk
away
with
it.
You
know,
would
advertise
our
local
businesses
I.
Think
that's
a
really
good
idea.
We
could
do
that
pretty
easily
and
it
would
really
help
us
because
a
lot
of
times
they
just
want
us
to
sit
there
and
plan
their
weekends
for
them.
So
if
we
had
something
to
give
them,
it
would
really
save
a
lot
of
staff
time.
That's
good
idea.
B
F
H
B
G
H
Pro
Tem
Robert's
mentioned
that
at
City
Council
last
week
in
terms
of
amending
the
a-frame
sign
regulations
to
include
up
to
two
businesses
on
an
a-frame
sign,
I've
got
language
that
I
will
forward
to
you
all.
We
already
have
language
about
having
a
pedestrian
directory,
and
what
I
would
do
is
just
expand
that
to
say
that
the
pedestrian
directory
could
either
be
a
wall
mounted
sign,
which
is
what
is
permitted
currently,
or
else
it
could
be
an
a-frame
sign
and
so
allowing
one
or
the
other,
and
that
would
allow
businesses.
F
H
A
A
B
A
B
A
E
B
D
A
A
A
A
Idea
of
moving
Planning
Commission
to
the
evenings,
there
will
be
a
recommendation
on
times
of
Commission
meetings.
Planning
is
a
little
tough
because
sometimes
those
go
six
hours
like
council
meetings
and
that's
hard
with
volunteers.
It's
hard
enough
on
those
of
us
who
aren't
and
staff
so.
But
there
is
the
desire
to
make
things
more
accessible,
because
if
you're
working
a
full-time
job,
you
can't
get
a
Planning
Commission
and
even
if
things
impact
you
and
we
have
to
figure
something
out
for
that,
I
don't
know
what
it
is.
But
I
would.
B
B
Is
one
reason
why
we
did
this
now
at
this
time
and
we
worked
really
hard
with
the
forum
scheduling
that
for
every
one
broker,
business
communication
and
networking
mr.
Stewart
suggested
the
city
facilitated
quarterly
meeting
with
commercial,
real
estate
brokers.
They're
all
welcome
to
this
meeting
I
think
that's
the
purpose
of
this.
C
I
C
B
C
A
lot
of
cities
that
facilitate
meetings
between
local
businesses
and
developers,
besides
the
incentives
just
so
that
they
get
to
know
that
when
most
of
most
of
national
develop,
big
developers
deal
with
brokers
so
or
they
go
to
big
conventions.
But
they
don't
always
know
the
local
businesses.
So
that
might
be
a
way
to
facilitate
that
are.
C
Through
it's
usually
through
the
city,
I
mean
one
Austin
does
a
lot
of
this,
where
they
facilitate
meetings
between
between
developers
and
entrepreneurs
and
local
businesses.
But
you
know
the
Chamber
cannot
do
that
as
well,
but
if
you're
looking
at
you
know
where,
where
the
Ricoh
complex
is
or
or
other
places
or
the
Andaz,
you
know
they
probably
don't
know
a
lot
of
the
local
people.
B
B
E
B
A
Right
then,
for
people
who
can't
be
I'm
home
Canyon
and
especially
if
we
can
come
up
a
way
to
let
people
know
those
areas
exist
and
what
kind
of
businesses
are
there
and
the
extent
we
can
have
a
theme
in
some
of
them
like
sunny
dunes
is
I.
Think
that
really
helps
because
it
drives
people
to
an
area
they
might
not
naturally
go.
A
B
B
J
Through
the
Workforce
Development
Center
Riverside
County,
they
do
have
some
programs
that
they
operate.
One
is
on-the-job
training
and
so
they
can
meet
with
businesses
and
help
them.
You
know,
do
the
paperwork
and
there's
certain
criterias.
They
do
target
a
lower
social
economic
group,
but
they
pay
the
wages
during
the
time
of
training
on
a
bigger
scale.
J
The
other
thing,
especially
with
Co
D
coming
along,
is
they
used
to
have
a
kind
of
a
retail
training
program
and
they
operated
at
the
Westfield
Mall
for
a
while
and
it
might
be
worth
taking
or
going
back
and
talking
to
Pam
over
there
and
see
if,
because
I
know,
palm
free,
there's
a
couple
of
other
downtown
businesses
that
did
ask
about.
You
know
just
not
high
level
training
just
for
the
customer
service.
How
do
you
talk
to
people?
How
do
you
engage
and
interact?
A
So
one
of
the
things
that
is
happening
and
the
pumps,
the
greater
Palm
Springs
Convention
and
Visitors
Bureau
when
I
joined,
one
of
the
first
things
I
asked,
is
to
look
at
other
cities.
Do
the
certified
Torrez
ambassador
program,
where
people
frontline
employees,
whether
it
can
be
police
officers,
it
could
be
city
staff
and
building
implant.
A
It's
been
very
successful
and
once
that's
done
and
we're
hoping
to
have
it
officially
launched
in
October
or
we
can
do
the
sort
of
a
trial
in
August,
there's
or
even
focus
groups
and
there's
a
survey
out
is
a
second
piece
which
is
something
that
came
through
the
chamber
and
Patrick
service
when
he
was
chairs.
How
do
we
train
folks,
who
don't
have
the
ability
or
to
leave
and
go,
do
a
four-year
tourism
degree
and
come
back
to
move
up
in
management?
A
Not
just
you
know
the
base
entry
jobs,
so
the
next
phase
of
this
is
going
to
be
with
the
Convention
and
Visitors
Bureau
to
start
a
training
program
to
help
people
move
up
into
management,
and
so
we're
hoping
next
year
to
have
that
piece
and
I
think
that
could
be
a
really
great
opportunity,
because
you
know,
if
you
look
at
where
we're
heading
right.
The
palm
strings.
Unified
now
has
a
tourism
academy
where
people
can
take
classes.
A
Co
D
is
going
to
have
the
initial
to
school
in
tourism
and
hospitality,
and
then
Cal
State,
San,
Bernardino's
Palm
Desert
campus
is
going
to
have
a
four
year
degree.
So
all
these
together
I
think
will
provide
a
lot
of
opportunity
and
given
that
is
the
number
one
driver
of
our
economy
here,
really
give
people
a
chance
to
move
up-
and
you
know,
learn
the
basics,
but
also
move
up
in
their
careers
and
get
training.
So
I
think
it's
gonna
be
a
real
help.
That's.
B
Really
fantastic
and
I
do
think:
that's
an
important
role
of
co,
D
and
CSU
San
Bernardino,
which
is
fantastic,
I,
think
Adams
comment
because
I
experienced
this
too
lack
of
training
opportunities
for
professionals
in
Palm,
Springs
or,
for
you
know,
middle-income
people.
You
know
in
their
startup
weekend
that
happens
at
UC,
Riverside
or
you
know,
there's
weekend
trainings
and
conventions
that
are
accessible
to
working
people
that
just
don't
happen
here,
and
so
what
we
can
do.
B
As
the
you
know,
industry,
together
as
a
city
to
actually
incentivize
or
you
know,
working
recruiting
and
and
reaching
out
to
those
types
of
opportunities
to
bring
them
here,
because
it's
it
really
is
a
big
problem
that
we
lack
access
to
training
opportunities.
So
more
than
Workforce
Development.
You
know
I
think
there's
a
small
percentage
of
our
residents
or
workforce,
maybe
who
are
using
workforce
development
type
programs,
but
if
there
are
other
programs
that
are
available
or
that
we
could
bring
here,
I
think
that
would
be
really
helpful.
I
And
just
a
thrilling,
real,
quick,
the
social
media
and
marketing
on
a
on
a
basic
scale.
That's
why
the
chamber
really
created
that
co-working
space,
so
we
have
32
high
tops
that
you
just
come
in
and
plug
in,
and
our
thinking
was
that
we
would
do
these
small
groups
with
basic
social
media,
basic
constantcontact
basic
skills
in
classroom
styles,
for
you
know
just
three
hours
at
a
time,
but
do
mult
classes.
So
that's
on
our
board's
agenda
to
do
that
and
offer
that.
So
definitely
I
think
that
co-working
space
would
be
perfect
for
that.
A
A
People
who
are
interested
in
watching
at
home,
Thursday
night
at
6:30
at
the
Sinatra
auditorium
at
Desert
Regional,
will
be
the
forum
on
measure
C
and
the
various
both
sides
will
be
there
different
angles.
People
will
be
able
to
ask
questions,
so
it's
a
good
opportunity
for
people
to
ask
those
questions.
Just.
B
Really
quickly
here,
Tim
Siegel
wayfinding,
so
he
commented
that
people
see
vacant.
Lots
actually
think
this
is
part
of
for
Sonny
Dunes
area
that
people
don't
go
further
or
know
that
there's
businesses
down
the
way.
So
that
actually
is
what
we're
talking
about.
Having
that
monument
type
of
sign
to
promote
certain
districts
would
be
helpful
to
solve
that
problem.
B
He
suggested
a
program
for
visitors
to
donate,
to
local
homelessness
agencies
rather
than
panhandling.
This
is
separate,
but
something
I've
thought
a
lot
about.
Laguna
Beach
does
this
where
they
have
cute
little
parking
meters
that
are
all
painted,
different
themes
and
then
people
can
donate
and
just
give
money.
There
I've
talked
to
the
police
department
in
depth
and
they
said
that's
part
of
the
problem
of
having
people
panhandling
downtown.
Is
that
it's
just
a
magnet.
B
They
know
that
people
can
will
give
money,
tourists
who
don't
know
that
that
money
isn't
often
helpful
for
people
who
are
homeless,
so
I
think
that's
a
really
interesting
idea,
that's
worth
exploring,
because
it
would
help
our
local
businesses
and
it
would
sort
of
help.
You
know
stop
some
of
the
problems
that
people
just
panhandling
and
getting
money
just
throwing
it
out
there.
A
B
F
The
panhandling
and
the
bay
current
issue
being
on
right,
I'm,
backing
up
to
Riverside
Drive,
it's
a
real
big
problem
for
us,
even
some
police
training
or
some
type
of
training
on
how
we
should
handle
the
problem
as
stores
of
the
people
who
come
into
our
stores,
who
we
would
like
to
have
out
the
people
who
hang
out
at
the
stores,
the
people.
You
know
it's
just
it's
a
constitution.
We
probably
have
30
or
40
a
day
that
I've
got
a
shooooow
I'm
shootout
on
five
foot.
F
B
So
that's
a
fantastic
idea.
Thank
you.
The
well
in
the
desert
does
have
a
program
called
well
assist,
and
so
they
have
a
phone
number
for
businesses
and
people
to
report.
If
there
are
any
people
who
are
homeless
that
they
think
could
use
their
services
and
then
they
come
and
respond
and
often
help
you
know,
give
people
services
or
take
them
where
they
need
to
go.
So
that's
one
option:
that's
provided
independent
of
the
city,
but
but
I
like
that
idea
about
the
police
department
too.
So
we'll
think
more
about
that,
but
it.
A
Is
something
you
would
get
you
the
number
they
have
been
successful,
especially
now
that
well
in
the
desert
has
is
open
during
the
day,
picking
people
up
and
bring
him
to
the
well
and
most
of
people
who
work
there
were
formerly
homeless.
So
they
have
a
good
rapport,
I
think
which
is
better
than
calling
the
police
I
think
our
police
are
incredibly
work
very
well
with
individuals
are
homeless,
but
I
think
well
when
the
deficit
would
be
a
good
thing,
especially
people
aren't
committing
a
crime
right.
So
right.
F
F
A
F
A
You
know
I
think
what'll
be
helpful
and
Jeffrey.
You
said
you
did
some
research
on
it.
But
if
you
know
some
examples
of
you
know,
I
know
San
Francisco
does
a
lot,
but
you
know
it's
a
million-person
county
city
of
smaller
city
programs
that
are
some
of
those.
If
you
could
send
those
to
us
and
then
we'll
get
them
to
staff.
A
Us
to
see
and
would
appreciate
it
and
I
did
one
of
things
I've
been
wanting
to
bring
up
today.
Is
you
know,
as
we
look
at
potential
some
of
the
incentives
I
do
think
you
know
one
of
the
priorities
might
be
if
a
business
is
going
into
a
class-one,
historic
building
and
doing
adaptive
reuse,
because
those
are
more
expensive
to
make
work
and
I.
A
Think
you
know
we're
gonna
have
to
you
know,
come
up
with
some
criteria
and
I
think
that
one
I
hadn't
thought
about
vacant
buildings
as
well,
but
some
vacant
buildings
are
particularly
challenging
because
of
air
conditioning
issues
and
other
issues,
and
so
really
what
what
kind
of
incentives
we
want
to
do.
We've
already
talked
about
the
facades
and
I.
Don't
know
Jen
Kathy.
If
you
have
anything
on
last
time
we
talked
a
little
bit
about.
A
K
There's
that
plus
in
terms
of
the
incentives
we
believe
it's
wide
open
and
if
we're
moving
on
to
the
next
section
in
our
agenda
yeah,
this
would
be
homework
for
our
subcommittee
members
to
start
to
look
at
the
history
of
what's
been
done
in
the
past,
in
terms
of
incentive
programs
and,
ladies
gentlemen,
to
be
this
sheet
here
and
then
to
give
us
an
idea
of
how
you'd
like
to
prioritize,
allocate
funds
for
next
fiscal
year.
Now
these
categories
aren't
fixed.
If
you
want
to
say
for
class
one
historic
structures,
there
would
be
a
certain.
H
A
K
D
A
Five,
but
there's
about
half
of
the
five
that
fire
right,
but
it
would
be
at
least
five
new
I
mean
not
new,
but
four
things
that
we
could
bring
back
then
to
the
next
meeting
and
talk
about
allocating.
We
can
just
do
a
broad
complicity,
sort
of
a
broad
category
and
then
at
our
next
meeting,
really
talk
about
where
we
want
to
focus
it,
but
I
think
we're
pretty
much
agreement
on.
A
E
E
E
E
A
A
D
A
E
A
B
So
if
we
can,
if,
if
you
could
help
spread
the
word
to
all
of
you,
know
your
different
communities
and
groups
and
Merchants
that
we
really
are
gonna
start
moving
forward
on
some
of
these
business.
Incentives
and
I
have
to
say
one
thing
that
was
frustrating
about
us
doing
the
survey,
because
we
really
tried
to
talk
about.
You
know,
incentives
and
different
programs.
B
The
city
can
do
and
it
really
kind
of
got
into
the
minut
details
of
the
sign
program,
or
you
know
different
issues
which
I
know
are
really
important
to
our
businesses,
and
we
also
want
to
address.
But
we
also
want
to
talk
about
programs
that
the
city
can
do
that's
within
the
scope.
So
thank
you
for
looking
up
different
programs
and
coming
to
us
with
those
ideas,
is
really
really
helpful
for
us
as
we're
doing
that,
starting
in
July
and.
