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
B
B
A
Is
a
quorum,
the
agenda
was
posted
and
emailed
to
commissioners
/
city
regulations.
Is
there
a
motion
that
we
accept
the
agenda
as
presented
so
moved,
moved
and
seconded
by
Wilson
and
Baker?
All
in
favor
say
yes
opposed,
say
no
and
we
have
a
pretty
full
agenda
tonight.
So
we'll
move
through
it
we'll
come
back
and
pick
up
any
comments
from
staff
in
just
a
bit
since
Jays,
not
here
yet
dear
Shay.
Do
you
have
anything
you
need
or
want
to
report
to
us
tonight?
As
our
student
representative
from
Palm
Springs
High.
D
Not
tonight,
but
I
just
wanted
to
remind
everyone
to
come
to
the
March
for
our
lives.
If
you
would
like
to
on
Saturday
morning,
I'm
not
exactly
sure
on
the
time,
but
you
can
probably
find
out
that
information
on
the
Palm,
Springs,
High,
School,
Facebook,
page
or
website
so
be
nice
to
see
everyone
here.
Yeah.
A
This
is
the
this
is
the
March
that
is
in
solidarity
with
students
across
the
country
related
to
the
Marjory
Stoneman,
shooting
right,
yeah.
Okay,
great
thank
you
for
letting
us
know
about
that.
At
each
meeting
of
the
sustainability
Commission,
there
is
time
for
members
of
the
public
to
address
the
Commission
on
topics
that
are
related
to
our
area
of
responsibility
within
the
city.
So,
if
you
wish
to
come
and
speak
in
public
comment,
there
is
an
open
seat
and
microphone
that
we
can
push
on
for
you.
A
E
Good
afternoon
Commission,
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
address
you.
My
name
is
Paul
Henrickson
I'm
from
Palm
Springs
California.
Thank
you
for
continuing
to
have
on
the
agenda
about
smoking.
Regulations
in
Palm
Springs
really
pleased
to
see
that
it's
on
there
and
we're
here
to
answer
questions
as
as
you
may
need.
We
have
presented
that
there
are
two
ordinances
we're
bringing
forward
towards
this
through
the
city
to
the
city.
E
B
Minutes
her
starting
I'm
Jim,
Flanagan
I'm,
a
resident
of
Palm,
Springs
and
I'm
interested
in
bicycle
issues.
I
took
a
very
quick
look
at
the
agenda
item
for
recommendations
on
Laverne
way
and
I
happen
to
live
in
Laverne
way
and
I.
Think
the
one
thing
that
I
would
like
to
add
is
Laverne
has
a
huge
amount
of
multi-family
dwelling
on
one
end
of
it
and
the
other
end
of
it
of
shopping,
and
so
I
mean
I
ride.
My
bike,
all
the
time
to
Ralph's
and
I
think
a
lot
of
people.
B
It's
the
one
thing
that
wasn't
on
the
list
is
it's
a
way
not
just
to
service
the
loop
of
Palm
Springs
area
and
for
leisure,
the
usage,
but
in
transporting
people
between
all
the
apartment
buildings
that
are
at
the
Palm
Canyon
and
of
Laverne
and
Smoketree
on
the
other
side.
So
if
that's,
if
it's
not
too
late
to
add
that
to
the
list
of
items,
two
reasons
to
support,
keeping
a
bicycle
pathway,
I'd
like
to
add
that
in
okay,
that's
it.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Jim.
A
All
right
seeing
none,
we
will
declare
public
comment
closed
I'm,
looking
around
I,
don't
know
that
there
is
any
welcomes
or
new
introductions.
We
need
to
to
make
tonight.
J
I'll
give
you
a
chance
to
get
settled
and
we'll
loop
back
in
and
pick
you
up.
Why
don't
we
move
to
our
presentations
and
our
first
presentation
is
from
celebrity
bike
rentals.
A
G
H
E
A
H
H
We
are
a
bicycle
rental
business
here
that
partners
with
hotels
here
and
desert,
and
we're
here
today
to
go
tuna.
Talk
to
you
guys
about
a
bicycle
share
program
that
we
want
to
implement
into
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
here,
which
is
called
owl
I'm
gonna
go
and
pass
you
over
to
Daniella
she's
gonna
go
and
touch
bases
on
the
actual,
app
and
I.
Give
you
guys
it
like
a
demo
demonstration
here.
I
So,
as
George
mentioned,
we're
in
the
bicycle
industry-
and
we've
been
so
for
the
past
five
years,
but
we're
here
today
to
talk
to
you
about
owl,
which
is
the
doclets
bike
share
system
that
we
are
planning
to
launch
and
what
the
system
does.
It
allows
the
users
to
run
a
bicycle
virtually
anywhere
via
a
smartphone
app,
so
we've
put
together
a
demonstration
PowerPoint
for
you
to
kind
of
just
walk
you
through
what
the
process
will
look
like
from
the
renter's
point
of
view.
So
this
is
Al
and
I.
I
My
reference,
my
notes
for
these
screens.
So
this
first
screen
here
that
you're
gonna
see
pop
up.
This
is
a
demo
app,
so
it
just
has.
This
is
where
you
would
see
al
when
you
come
into
the
system,
and
this
is
a
registration
screen
and
that
will
allow
the
user
to
enter
their
name
they're,
creating
account
right
now.
I
The
sign
up
screen
is
where
they'll
enter
their
mobile
number
to
register,
and
this
is
a
verification
screen
which
sends
an
authentication
code
to
the
user,
to
authenticate
them
and
here's
where
they'll
enter
the
email
address
and
password
when
they're
creating
their
account
and
for
our
registered
users.
This
is
the
login.
So
this
is
where
they'll
enter
their
mobile
number
and
their
password,
and
this
entire
process
will
be
a
one-time
process
where
they'll
sign
up
just
kind
of
like.
If
you
signed
up
for
lyft
or
uber,
you
only
do
it
one
time.
I
So
once
the
trip
is
started,
the
timer
screen
will
indicate
the
right
time
and
the
trip
can
be
ended
by
either
ending
the
ride
or
locking
the
bike
by
pressing
that
button.
You
saw
there,
and
this
screen
is
a
confirmation
message,
just
letting
the
user
know
if
they
want
to
end
the
ride
and
lock
the
bike.
I
So
this
screen
right
here,
it's
a
ride,
summary
screen
and
it'll-
allow
the
user
to
view
the
summary
of
their
ride
and
share
their
experience
to
social
media,
and
it
also
let
them
read
the
application,
and
this
is
where
they
can
see
their
cumulative
ride
stats.
They
can
see.
You
know
the
average
distance
they
traveled,
how
many
calories
they
burn
and
so
forth,
and
this
will
let
them
view
their
entire
ride
history
for
every
single
ride
they've
taken.
I
So
this
is
one
of
the
most
important
screens
because
it
allows
us
to
Sun
offers
to
the
user
from
local
businesses
in
the
community
and
by
marketing
to
our
users.
This
is
what's
going
to
allow
us
to
subsidize
the
cost
of
the
bike
share
system
right
here.
If
the
user
for
experiences
any
type
of
difficulty
with
their
bicycle
or
the
write
in
general,
they
can
submit
a
ticket
via
this
support
screen
directly
to
out
and
we
can
dress
the
issue
immediately.
I
I
So
our
app
will
show
our
users
virtual
parking
spots
where
they
can
park
their
bicycle
upright
upon
completion
of
the
ride.
If
they
fail
to
park
in
any
of
the
designated
parking
areas,
then
they
will
incur
a
penalty
fee
as
well
for
not
doing
this
for
not
doing
so
sorry
and
that's
the
basic
sum
of
it
and
thank
you
for
your
time
and
your
interested.
Oh,
do
you
guys
have
any
questions?
Yes,.
I
H
You
know
you
know:
Palm
Springs
is
a
very
small
city.
Most
bike
share
companies
are
not
eager
to
come
to
such
a
small
city,
they're,
looking
for
LA
all
the
big
cities,
so
the
way
we're
gonna
as
Daniela
said
subsidize,
the
actual
cost
is
through
marketing
or
sponsorships,
or
so
so
that
that
being
said,
we
can
bring
the
cost
down
for
all
the
locals
and
honey
residents
to.
H
Launch
date
well
we're
hoping
within
the
next
three
months,
but
you
know-
and
we
still
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
city's
on
board
with
this,
if
the
city's
on
board
with
having
a
bike
share
system
here,
then
from
there
we're
gonna
actually
now
start
approaching
it
odd.
You
know
different
businesses
or
actual
sponsors
or
marketing,
and
then
from
there
we
can
actually
placed
the
order
on
our
bicycles
with
the
Brandi,
so
example
would
say
a
local
casino
or
some
wanted
to
sponsor
these
bicycles.
A
F
I
H
So
I
can
in
the
past
most
of
the
dock
stations.
They
were
these
huge.
You
know
bulky
items
in
it
to
be
drilled
into
the
ground
or
a
power
source.
I
did
you
know
we
had
to
have
access
to
power
sources
now
these
are
bikes,
are
just
individual.
Everything
from
a
bulky
dock
station
has
all
been
broughten
down
to
just
a
simple,
lock,
that's
on
the
bike,
so
each
bike
has
its
own
SIM
card.
Brunt's
GPS
gives
us
all
the
information
onto
our
dashboard
and
that's
all
we
can.
You
know,
run
system
officially,
I
think.
D
H
Going
back
to
over
Santa,
we,
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
we're
gonna
start
targeting
a
lot
of
businesses
and
to
see
who
wants
support.
You
know
this
business
and
that
way
we
can
get
some
marketing
going.
But
three
months
is
I
mean
I,
know
that's
pretty
soon,
but
we
we
still
have
a
lot
to
go
forward
with.
You
know,
placing
our
order.
This
is
about
them
overseas.
H
Getting
our
bicycles
here,
getting
to
read
all
the
logs
so,
but
we
pretty
much
took
in
care
of
a
lot
of
the
the
back
side
of
the
business
and
we're
just
waiting
to
see.
If
you
know
the
city's
on
board
or
something
like
this.
J
Yes,
mr.
Baker
there's
an
existing
program
right
now
in
Paris,
but
the
problem
is
with
the
location
where
you
leave
the
bikes
I'm,
not
sure
what
the
protocol
is.
But
the
reality
is
people
just
leave
bikes
on
sidewalks
and
corners.
They
they
don't
go
to
any
designated
spot.
It's
actually
become
a
hazard
to
pedestrians
and
motorists,
because
people
just
finish
doing
what
they're
doing
they
just
kind
of
dump
the
bike
and
walk
away.
So
you're
saying
there
are
preset
drop-off
locations
throughout.
H
The
city
like
the
geofence
II,
we
actually
set
up
these
virtual
parking
spaces
in
the
past
when
these
bikes,
but
doclets
bike
share
system
started,
they
didn't
have
these
systems
implement
it
yet,
and
then
not
only
that
these
are
big
cities
that
have
over
a
thousand
plus
bikes
that
they
just
flooded
into
the
streets,
China
Europe
and
all
that,
so
the
bikes
yeah
is
a
huge
mess.
We,
you
know
coming
into
your
into
the
city
here.
H
We
want
to
start
a
pilot,
you
know
anywhere
from
50
to
100
bikes,
see
how
it
goes,
and
by
setting
up
these
virtual
parking
spaces,
we
now
put
all
the
responsibility
on
the
users.
If
they're
you're
not
bringing
the
bikes
back
into
those
actual
designated
areas
where
they
needed
to
be
parked,
they
will
be
penalized
and
for
the
most
part
they
exit
the
actual
the
main
diameter
area
that
they
go
out.
Then
they
started
occurring
fees
and
it
will
let
them
lock
the
bike.
I
To
add
to
that,
we
also
will
be
balancing
the
system,
so
you
know
every
evening
we
look
at
the
bikes
we
see
where
they're
at
and
we
move
them
around,
based
on
how
much
or
needed
in
what
area
so
we'll
know
and
like
I
said
in
real
time,
we'll
know
if
they're
just
left
and
not
in
a
designated
area.
We
can
address
that
immediately,
but.
H
K
I,
just
have
a
couple
questions
about
practicality,
so
you're
coming
to
the
city
to
ask
for
permission
to
have
Docs
to
have
real
estate
I
guess
what
I
want
to
understand
is
what
are
you
asking
from
the
city
and
then
the
larger
question
is:
if
a
city
decides
to
use
your
company
for
this,
then
we
are
choosing
a
barring
a
company
to
support
over.
Maybe
other
companies
so
I
just
see.
I.
Guess
I
really
want
to
understand
what
it
is.
K
I
I
A
I
L
I
M
As
our
chair
is
mentioned,
getting
business
license
is
step,
one
which
it
sounds
like
you've
accomplished
and
I'm
curious
to
know.
In
other
cities,
were
there
right-of-way
permits
required
to
have
the
bicycles
say
residing
in
the
sidewalks
I
mean
it
sounds
like
you've
addressed
a
lot
of
those
because
you're
parking
them
where
there
may
already
be
bike.
H
M
I
Sorry
so
with
Santa
Monica,
we
have
celebrity
bike.
Rentals,
like
George,
said
it's
a
bike:
rental
company
that
partners
with
hotels,
so
we
partner
with
hotels,
providing
rentals
on
their
properties.
This
is
a
bike
share
system
that
we're
expanding.
Our
current
business
under
LLC
will
now
be
owl,
which
is
going
to
be
geared
towards
the
residents
and
the
tourists.
I
So
this
will
be
the
first
time
we
do
this
bike
share
system
and
since
it's
a
relatively
new
concept
and
cities
across
the
country,
there
isn't
a
whole
lot
of
regulations
in
many
cities
yet
because
they're
just
coming
out
with
it
they're
rolling
out
what
they
want
in
their
city.
So
I
could
you
know
I
know
some
cities
require,
like
a
small
permit,
to
get
started.
M
I
That's
why
we
wanted
to
come
to
the
city,
because
there's
companies
that
have
just
gone
into
cities
and
dumped
their
stuff
and
not
told
the
city
and
they
haven't,
worked
with
the
city
and
then
they
have.
You
know
backlash
because
things
like
they
weren't
planned
out
like
there's
a
mess
on
the
sidewalk.
It's
you
know
it's
a
horrible,
so
we're
just
we're
locals
and
you
know
we
we
live
here
in
the
valley
and
we
love
Palm
Springs.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
do
something
like
this.
G
H
H
G
G
H
J
H
Link
and
actually
the
rest
of
Coachella
I
mean
that's
the
future
of
OWL.
We
would
like
to
expand,
but
right
now
we
wanted
to
start
off.
Just
you
know
in.
H
Palm
Springs
area,
you
know
probably
extending
out
to
the
south
side,
Ace
Hotel,
all
that
just
and
then
as
time
as
we
see
this
pilot.
If
it
works
out
very
well,
then
we
would
like
to
expand
more
and
more.
You
know
we're
now.
Users
can
ride
the
bike
from
downtown
Palm
Springs
and
leave
the
bicycle
over
at
the
CV
link
when
they're
done
riding
it
or
take
it
to
you
know
to
another
city,
Cathedral
City,
possibly
mm-hmm,.
I
H
They're
gonna
be
just
like
any
other
bicycle,
so,
just
like,
we
have
bicycles
that
hotels
are
now
the
guests
leave
from
the
hotel,
they'll
eat
their
bicycles
and
Rex.
The
only
difference
from
these
bicycles
is
now
that
they're
open
to
the
public
and
they
can
go
up
to
their
phone
and
rent
them.
So
there
might
be
someone
racks.
H
There
might
be
some
near
a
grocery
store,
so
it's
taken,
you
know,
and
also
that's
something
also
that
we
would
want
to
talk
to
you
guys
about
is
possibly
implementing
a
little
bit
more
bicycle
racks
and
that
that
way,
when
they're
on
the
actual
app
they
can
see,
you
know
the
virtual
parking
spaces.
You
know,
it'll
give
them
more
choices
to
actually
go
park.
It's.
A
Funny
that
you
mentioned
that,
because
I
just
had
a
conversation
this
past
week
with
a
Palm
Springs
resident
who's,
not
a
recreational
biker,
he's
a
I
bike
to
the
grocery
store,
I
bike
to
the
gym,
I
bike
to
the
dry
cleaners,
and
he
was
bemoaning
the
fact
of
very
few
bike
racks
in
commercial
settings
outside
of
the
Palm
Canyon
corridor,
and
he
says
when
I
go
to
Smoketree
and
I,
go
to
you
know
other
places
for
their
shopping.
Centers.
A
A
I
N
Great
thank
you
very
much.
Commissioners
appreciate
the
time
commissioner
McCann
asked
me
to
come
and
and
just
speak
on
this
I'm
I'm
glad
he's
mentioned
something
about
the
side.
Conversations
with
commissioners
I
can
Clark
and
spry
on
this
and
right
now
it's
raising
awareness,
but
it
is
a
dilemma
and
I'm
sure
you
most
of
you
know
where
our
recycling
goes
right
now
or
most
of
it
anyway
about
70%
of
it
goes
to
the
Asian
markets
in
China.
N
Well,
China
has
been
slowly
banning
the
material
in
March.
They
put
a
full-on
ban
on
on
certain
parts
of
it
plastics
three
through
seven
paper,
just
because
there's
too
much
contamination
in
it,
they've
kind
of
kind
of
there's
been
a
lot
of
global
pressure
on
their
environmental
practices,
so
they're.
Finally,
succumbing
to
that
and
they're
pretty
much
putting
a
ban
on
this
stuff,
the
problem
we're
facing
is
is
that
no
domestic
markets
were
ever
really
created.
N
Because
we
can't
take
this
stuff
there
anymore
and
there's
no
domestic
markets.
There
is
a
slim
market,
for
you
know
your
metals.
This,
let
me
just
be
clear:
it
doesn't
apply
to
C
and
D.
It
doesn't
apply
to
organics
metal
things
like
that.
It's
your
mixed
recycling
that
you
usually
put
inside
your
your
household
containers,
but
at
some
point
this
is
going
to
be
critical
because
right
now,
processors
are
filling
their
warehouses
because
it
can't
get
rid
of
it
at
some
point.
That's
going
to
become
a
health
and
safety
issue.
N
N
They
have
to
divert
at
least
50
of
their
waste
now
Palm
Springs
is
is
fine,
hovering
around
75%,
but
a
lot
of
cities
are
not,
and
if
you
start
tossing
this
stuff,
you,
the
enforcement
of
this
a
B
939,
is
about
ten
thousand
dollars
a
day.
On
a
city,
if
they
don't
meet
that
50
percent
criteria,
now
the
industry
right
now
is
working
with
CalRecycle
working
with
policy
makers
so
that
there
is
some
relief
on
this.
Obviously
they're
not
going
to
have.
N
They
can't
enforce
this
a
benign
39
on
cities
now,
if
there's
simply
no
place
to
take
this
stuff,
but
right
now
it's
working
on
a
domestic
market
and
a
short-term
solution.
Domestic
markets
are
not
going
to
be.
The
industry
is
saying
somewhere
between
three
and
five
years
to
get
a
full
time
solution
for
this.
So
for
the
time
being,
the
stuff
that
Kant
doesn't
can't
find
at
home
is
gonna,
go
to
a
landfill
and
it's
something
we're
just
raising
awareness.
Do
you
have
a
summary
on
this?
N
I
got
about
ten
of
them
to
pass
around
for
you
guys,
but
I
know
you
guys
have
that
white
paper
too.
Just
something
that's
been
circulated
around
the
industry
around
the
regulatory
agencies
and
around
policy
makers.
So
I'm
gonna
pass
those
around,
but
this
is
just
awareness
more
than
anything
else
right
now,
but
at
some
point,
you're
gonna
hear
more
about
it
and
no
one
wants
to
hear
this
stuff.
It's
gonna
go
in
the
trash
and
and
we
don't
want
to
discourage
recycling
either.
N
A
N
Yeah
there
are
slim
markets
for
some
of
this
stuff
too,
but
it
has
to
be
extremely
clean
right
now
we
move
so
much
material
in
the
state,
Oregon
Washington
that
they
only
want
half
a
person.
Cent
of
contamination-
that's
unattainable,
you're,
not
gonna,
be
able
to
get
that
and
right
now.
Processors
are
running
a
third
of
the
speed
just
to
clean
as
much
as
they
can
up
it's
getting
extremely
expensive
and
they
still
can't
get
it
clean
enough
to
market.
N
A
N
There'll
be
a
lot
of
discussions
on
more
sustainable
efforts.
I
know
Commissioner
spry
you,
you
brought
up
something
about
organic
that
really
the
industry
wants
to
go,
which
is
keeping
this
material
in
your
city,
so
your
food
waste.
This
is
just
an
example
but
keeping
your
food
waste
in
your
city
and
mandating
your
gardeners
and
to
use
the
stuff
in
the
same
city.
So
it's
it's.
N
The
thinking
like
that
that'll
get
us
where
we
need
to
go,
but
I
think
the
biggest
problem
right
now.
Not
the
biggest
problem.
I
think
where
we
need
to
go
is
waste
to
energy
I
think
that's,
probably
the
future
is
waste
to
energy,
but
you've
got
to
get
all
the
regulatory
agencies
on
board
they're,
not
all
on
board.
Those
are
it's
a
very
difficult,
it's
very
difficult
to
navigate
that.
N
So
that's
where
the
industry
there's
several
calling
associates
throughout
California,
and
this
this
white
paper
has
been
spread
around
all
over
California,
so
policy
makers
to
have
it
Cal
recycle
does
have
it
so
we've
come
to
that
point.
Where
California's
knocking
have
a
choice.
Regulatory
agencies
will
have
to
come
together,
we'll
have
to
get
on
the
same
page
to
move
some
of
these
projects
like
waste-to-energy,
more
the
organics
tonight.
F
I
did
some
research
on
the
waste-to-energy,
so
I
just
wanted
to.
Let
you
all
know
what
I
found
out
about
the
options
here.
The
the
first
one
is
pyrolysis
and
it's
a
pretty
simple.
It
takes
plastics
and
turns
it
back
into
oil.
It
heats
the
plastic
it
melts
and
evaporates
it,
and
then
it
condenses
the
gas
back
down
and
it's
diesel
fuel.
Basically,
so
you
can
then
sell
it
and
empower
your
vehicles.
F
It
turns
about
one
kilogram
of
plastic
into
roughly
one
liter
of
diesel
fuel
according
to
one
of
the
sources,
I
read
so:
okay:
where
are
the
plants?
What
options
do
we
have?
There?
I
found
two
companies.
One
of
them
was
called
balanced
power
engineering
incorporated
up
in
Vancouver,
so
it's
a
foreign
company,
not
good
for
us.
However,
they
they
did
send
me
some
ballpark
figures
that
it
would
cost
about
1.6
million
to
put
in
a
plant
down
here.
F
For
us
and-
and
this
was
running
numbers
based
on
our
population
and
then
it
would
be
about
300k
of
annual
cost.
This
company
does
have
a
track
record.
They
have
a
plant
up
and
running
in
Senegal
of
all
places
because
they
have
a
big
problem
over
there
with
tires,
and
this
plant
will
actually
do
plastics
and
tires
Chris
I'm,
not
sure
if
that
would
help
us
in
any
way,
I,
don't
know
what
happens
to
Tigers
here.
You.
N
Know
that
all
depends
on
regulatory
agencies
if
you
can
get
them
out
there.
That's
why
you
don't
see
these
in
California,
otherwise,
they'd
be
here.
Okay,
that's
the
regulatory
agencies.
Those
are
all
what
I've
been
described.
Its
death
by
a
thousand
paper
cuts
trying
to
get
something
like
that
in
the.
F
The
other
pyrolysis
base
company
is
called
resurge
knee
rest,
ner,
G,
sorry
and
it's
based
out
of
Rohnert
Park.
So
it's
at
least
a
California
company.
Their
website
sounds
really
good.
It
says
they
provide
and
service
modular
low
emission
plastic
to
hydrocarbon
oil
conversion
systems.
To
recycle
chemically
value
plastics
to
create
fuels
sounds
really
good.
The
trouble
with
them
is,
if
you
look
at
them
more
closely,
they
have
not
actually
manufactured
and
build
a
plant,
so
we
would
be
yeah.
N
F
You
me
pick,
and
those
are
the
only
two
companies
I've
been
able
to
find.
There's
probably
more.
The
only
other
thing
I
found
isn't
is
another
Shanna's
road
resurfacing.
There
is
a
township
in
Britain,
that's
taken
plastics
mixed
it
with
asphalt
and
has
a
program
to
resurface
his
roads
with
it
yeah.
N
F
The
best
of
all
possible
worlds,
and
then
also
if
I,
let
you
go
the
best.
We
would
be
working
here
on
a
pretty
comprehensive
plan
for
the
Coachella
Valley
wide
I.
Think
not
just
Palm
Springs,
to
set
aside
a
site
put
in
a
plant
like
this
and
put
in
an
anaerobic
state
just
to
plant
at
the
same
place,
and
just
start
doing
all
of
this.
Really,
that's
that's
what
we
should
be
doing.
In
my
humble
opinion,
this.
K
I
mean
it
sorry,
my
words
are
tight,
but
is
it
worth
it
to
wash
in
terms
of
education
right
and
if
it,
if,
in
the
best
case
scenario
in
five
years,
there'll
be
a
place
for
our
plastics
but
there's
not
for
five
years?
Is
it
worth
it
to
start
an
education
campaign
for
people
to
make
sure
they
wash
out
their
stuff?
But
then,
but
then
we
come
out
the
issue
of
the
water
right.
Cuz,
we're
in
a
water
crisis,
so
I
mean
and
that's
when
you
get
to
the
regulatory
area
right.
K
You've
got
this
great
thing
that
turns
all
your
plastics
into
gas,
but
guess
what
the
process
pollutes
the
environment
right
and
then
that
regulator
stops
it
or
whatever,
and
it
makes
sense
right,
but
I'm
just
wondering.
If
now
you
need
these
things
to
be
so
non-contaminated
because
I
think
about
myself
and
how
I,
recycle
and
I
sometimes
I
I
could
do
a
better
job.
You
know
I'm,
like
it's
plastic
and
there's
almost
food
in
it.
N
K
N
I
agree
and
and
I
think
more
importantly,
is
there
are
some
communities
communities
out
there
who
have
a
residual
rate
and
residual
by
what
I
mean
by
that
is
the
amount
of
trash
that's
inside
the
recycling
containers
Palm
Springs?
It's
it's
not
very
much
at
all.
It's
a
very
low
amount,
but
other
cities
you're
talking
60
70
percent.
J
L
Maybe
this
technology
doesn't
exist,
but
the
city
is
moving
forward
with
the
waste
energy
methane
plant
at
the
wastewater
treatment
plant.
Is
there
any
way
of
sort
of
bolting
something
like
this
onto
them,
because
that's
already
sort
of
going
to
be
creating
recapturing
the
methane
from
the
water
treatment
plant?
So
I
am
whether
you
can
add
one
technology
to
another,
but
that
that
that
seems
to
be
going
forward.
The
French
company
that
I
know
quite
well
as
having
been
living
in
France.
N
Yeah
the
technology
you're
talking
about
you,
know,
I
I,
think
you
can
add
fats,
oils
and
grease
to
that,
as
well
as
organics
like
food
waste
and
maybe
even
green
waste,
and
things
like
that.
But
as
far
as
trash
is
that's
gonna
be
more
that's
gonna
be
a
different
technology.
You
kind
of
that's.
That's,
not
gonna
go
together
with
that.
One.
A
When
we
approved
the
minutes
and
then
Jay
will
come
back
to
staff
reports,
the
minutes
items
see
the
minutes
of
the
February.
20Th
2018
meeting
were
sent
out,
I
think
I,
don't
know
if
there
were
any
Corrections
or
their
Corrections
a
couple.
Okay,
and
so
is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
minutes
with
Corrections
so
move
my
Commissioner
Gotha?
Is
there
a
second
second
by
Commissioner
Frye,
all
in
favor
say
yes,
yes
opposed,
say
no
all
right.
We
have
our
minutes.
A
M
You
mr.
chair
just
a
reminder
that
desert
city's
energy
community
choice,
aggregation
is
still
moving
forward
with
a
planned
hope,
hopeful
implementation,
implementation
date
of
July
or
August
of
this
year
and,
having
been
at
their
meeting
yesterday,
I
know
they're
going
to
want
to
reach
out
to
city's
sustainability
commissions
in
particular
and
really
start
getting
the
public
outreach
going
so
I
think
when
it
can't
anticipate
presentation
from
that
group
and
I
know.
Commissioner
Friedman
is
very
well
aware
of
all
this
information.
Thank
you.
Well,.
A
M
Well,
what
would
had
happened
is
the
California
Public
Utilities
Commission
I
had
thrown
a
few
whole
column
challenges
in
the
way
of
the
formation,
and
so
not
knowing
schedule-wise,
how
that
would
impact
the
implementation
of
the
CCA
they
pulled
back
on
marketing,
but
it's
starting
to
shape
up
so
anticipated
implementation
dates.
The
summer
yeah
I
think
they're
really
going
to
want
to
work
towards
broad
community
acceptance
and
understanding
of
what
they're
trying
to
accomplish
and,
of
course,
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
is
part
of
the
CCA
right.
B
Evening,
thank
you.
We
had
our
shredding
an
e-waste
event
on
February
17th.
It
was
fairly
well
attended,
collected
quite
a
bit
of
anyway,
so
we
were
pretty
happy
about
that
and
some
questions
were
asked
about.
The
beverage
container
grant,
so
I
got
with
the
state,
and
one
of
the
questions
was:
where
exactly
can
we
use
them?
Because
there
were
some
talk
about
maybe
putting
some
in
the
schools
of
public
schools?
Yes,
you
can
do
that.
B
You
can
put
the
containers
anywhere
that
the
is
accessible
to
the
public
and
I
asked
if
the
state
monies
can
be
used
to
refurbish
existing
beverage
container
grass
in
the
cannot.
The
second
thing
that
I
found
out
was
that
Palm
Springs,
High
School
does
in
fact
have
their
own
recycling
program.
They
have
130
yard
for
trash
three
three
yard
next
recycling,
that's
where
you
can
put
your
paper
or
your
cardboard
plastic,
anything
in
that
and
then
one
yard
for
metal
and
that's
on
as
we'll
call
basis.
B
Ss
needed
I
found
out
some
more
information
about
the
beverage
container
grant
the
existing
one
expires
in
June
3rd
30,
June
2019.
We
can
use
monies
from
the
prior
one,
which
was
2016,
and
you
can
use
that
up
until
30
June
of
this
year.
So
you
have
fun,
you
know
approximately
$13,000.
You
can
either
spend
that
individually
or
you
combine
it
with
the
Turner.
A
B
B
A
D
B
A
Alright,
we
are
at
old
business.
The
first
item
is
just
to
acknowledge
that
we
did
have
our
tree
and
plaque
dedication.
Remembering
Michelle.
My
scene
was
quite
well
attended,
I
think
50
to
75
folks,
many
commissioners
yeah,
there's
a
scene
so
and
I
just
I
want
to
thank
Dan,
particularly
for
his
efforts
to
get
all
of
it,
organized
and
negotiating
through
the
the
city
and
having
a
really
nice
program
there
so
was
was
nicely
done.
So
thank
you.
A
M
Well,
we
did
both
attend
the
the
Wild
and
Scenic
Film
Festival
that
the
amount
Empire
Waterkeeper
put
on,
and
it
was
a
really
nice
event-
a
reception,
silent
auction
and
film
series
all
and
they
did
an
afternoon
portion
for
children,
and
then
they
did
an
evening
portion
for
adults.
Then
Jennifer
and
I
went
back
last
week
and
met
with
mekin
Barroso
who's,
the
executive
director
of
the
Inland
Empire
to
debrief
with
her
on
the
experience
with
wild
and
scenic,
and
we
got
some
good
feedback
from
her
there's
a
little
more
follow-up.
A
Okay,
great
okay
for
the
April
meeting,
all
right
community
gardens,
Commissioner
spry
indicated
that
she
was
willing
to
be
our
point
person
for
community
gardens
and
we
did
receive
a
part
of
our
packet.
Her
report
of
her
visit
of
the
community
gardens.
Is
there
anything
you
want
to
say
about
that
verbally
or
questions
of
commissioners
right.
K
A
Maybe
you
can
grow
some
things,
but
it
would
be
the
time
of
year
where
we
would
begin
to
promote
the
community
garden
plots
and
claiming
those
plots
and
renting
those
plots
for
the
fall
of
2018.
So
can
you
work
with
Dan
and
figure
out
how
we
can
do
that
because
I?
My
sense
is
that
nobody
in
town
knows
they
exist,
I
mean
there's.
There
are
10
people
that
know
they
exist
and
they're
using
them.
But
in
terms
of
a
wider
knowledge,
it's
not
there
and
I'm
wondering
how
we
get
that
message.
K
When
we
talk
about,
thank
you
how
in
general,
how
does
the
Commission
publicize
things
I
mean?
That's
my
larger
question.
As
opposed
you
know,
we
have
the
garden
and
all
the
issues
to
talk
about,
and
people
come
in
and
they
want
us
to,
and
we
talk
about
education
and
Chris
came
in
talked
about
AG
us
being
educated.
How
do
we
educate
about
the
pasta
squashed
issue?
K
B
K
B
I
A
A
That
we
need
to
get
out.
We
certainly
got
our
website.
We've
got
our
presence
on
now
on
Saturdays
at
the
farmers
market,
we've
got
our
our
appearances
at
other
community
events,
for
instance
the
1ps
picnic
that
is
this
coming
Saturday,
where
all
the
neighborhoods
are
present
would
be
the
ideal
time
to
have
a
little
flyer
that
says:
did
you
know
Palm
Springs
has
a
community
garden
and
that
you
could
reserve
a
plot
for
whatever
it
is
$30
$30
for
a
plot
contact
Dan.
A
L
G
A
J
A
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
the
same
group
of
Girl
Scouts,
but
we
do
have
Girl
Scouts,
that's
one
of
the
groups
that
are
present
at
the
community
gardens.
So
all
right,
I,
don't
know
if
we
have
more
things,
we
need
to
say
about
this.
We
don't
need
to
to
beat
this
up,
but,
okay,
all
right.
Thank
you
for
your
work
already
and
it's
great
to
know
that
you
will
be
a
continuing
person
to
keep
watch
over
that
program
because
we
just
simply
haven't
had
that.
So
thank
you
very
much
sure.
A
O
I'm
figuring
March
9th
I
met
with
Jeff
to
discuss
a
a
possible
study
session
and
a
few
other
things,
a
couple
of
which
I'll
talk
about,
but
Jo
and
I
had
talked
about
ahead
of
time.
What
would
you
bring
up
to
Jeff
and
we
had
some
suggestions
about
the
study
session
and
I'll
just
read
from
the
script
that
I
had
sent
to
jump
ahead
of
time
we
would
like
to
have.
We
would
like
to
hear
from
you
about
current
and
future
issues
with
counsel,
especially
those
that
are
related
to
sustainability.
O
The
Commission
would
have
a
report
about
current
projects
and
issues
that
we
see
coming,
such
as
priorities
and
budget
issues.
Two
hours
minimum
could
be
a
weekday
5:00
to
7:00
p.m.
or
5
to
8
p.m.
maybe
better,
with
a
dinner
break
or
could
be
a
Saturday
or
Sunday
morning
like
9:30
to
12:30.
Jeff
was
very
open
to
this.
He
said
all
of
those
times
sounded
good,
although
he
thought
that
perhaps
3
hours
in
the
evening
might
be
long
for
those
people
that
that
work
during
the
day.
O
But
he
said
you
know:
I
told
him
that
we
would
discuss
it
at
this
meeting
and
we
would
come
up
with
preferences
and
communicate
them,
communicate
them
back
to
him.
So
really
the
discussion
is
open
now
as
to
what
would
work
best
for
the
majority
or
the
full
commission
to
to
meet
with
him
an
evening
or
a
weekday
evening
or
a
morning
on
a
Saturday
or
Sunday
and
two
hours
or
three
hours.
Sure.
A
So
what
we
really
want
to
have
is
just
a
chance
for
kind
of
an
open
discussion
and
Exchange
Commission
sharing
and
for
council
member,
of
course,
to
share
with
us
there's
at
least
three
of
us,
maybe
at
the
table
who
experience
this.
Maybe
five
or
six
years
ago,
with
council
members,
Lewin
and
and
maybe
I'm,
not
sure
who
else
was
present.
A
Maybe
councilmember
Hutchison,
who
were
Lewin
and
Hutchinson,
we're
our
liaisons
at
one
point
so
so
a
chance
to
to
somehow
get
on
sort
of
the
same
page
for
counsel
to
know
what
we're
doing
and
for
us
to
look
ahead.
So
any
any
comments
either
Saturday
morning
Sunday
morning
or
to
do
something
on
an
evening
5:00
to
7:30
or
a
dish
and
also
including
some
food
in
there,
because
it
would
make
for
a
longer
evening
sense
of
what
would
work.
I.
A
Okay:
okay!
Well,
why
don't
why
sure
Clark?
Why
don't
we
try
to
look
at
some
dates,
talk
to
staff
and
and
obviously
we're
not
talking
about
doing
this
next
week.
This
would
be
scheduled
out
quite
some
time
out.
So
we
need
to
find
a
location
that
would
work,
but
there's
there's
conference
rooms
at
the
public
library
and
at
the
Memorial
Library
downtown,
so
there's
probably
sites
where
we
can.
We
can
go
and
find
some
conference
room
meeting
space,
so
we
don't
have
to
stay
at
City
Hall
with
the
city
hall
hours
so
JDF.
Mr.
chair.
M
A
B
B
A
O
B
A
A
A
You
saw
last
month
I
think
prior
to
last
month
or
right
after
the
meeting
I
think
Dan
sent
us
the
complete
text
of
Commissioner
futtermans
report
regarding
billboards
that
would
publicize
World,
Environment
Day.
So
there's
a
submitted
motion
to
approve
not
more
than
2,500
for
up
to
two
billboards:
promoting
World,
Environment
Day
I
guess
the
other
option
is
1750
for
one
was
what's
in
your
report,
commissioner.
Futterman
did
you
want
to
speak
to
any
of
this
or
just
answer
questions
I.
C
Could
just
answer
questions,
but
I
did
a
graphics
person
that
I'm
working
with
she
created
a
save
the
date,
so
I'm
gonna
just
pass
this
around.
It's
not
perfect
yet,
but
this
is
I
sent
out
a
different
version
to
some
of
the
vendors
or
I'm,
not
really
sure
what
to
call
them
that
have
been
at
the
event
before
so.
This
is
this
is
what
we
have
now.
This
year's
theme
is
beat
plastic
pollution.
C
So
I
was
also
speaking
with
someone,
that's
interested
in
collaborating
on
this
project
of
perhaps
approaching
Burrtec
or
you
know,
for
maybe
some
support
co-sponsoring
the
event
for
beat
plastic
pollution.
It
seems
like
it
would
be
a
natural
fit
if
they
might
want
to
partner
with
us.
For
this
year's
event,
okay
and.
A
So
as
we
move
forward
well,
I
guess
what
we
need
to
do
is:
is
there
a
second
for
the
motion?
Okay,
second
from
Commissioner
Frank.
So
as
we're
talking
about
this
since
the
World
Environment
Day
event
is
significantly
about
promoting
waste
reduction
in
recycling
with
the
art
and
the
other
functions
at
least
I
don't
recall,
did
last
year
did
most
of
that
come
from
the
recycling
or
from
the
from
that
fund,
rather
than
our
other
fund.
J
Have
one
logistical
thing
to
point
out:
I
swim
every
day
and
on
the
weekends
at
the
pool
next
to
the
pavilion
and
if
there's
a
swim,
meet
and
baseball
going
on
at
the
same
time,
there's
absolutely
no
parking
within
five
blocks
of
that
facility.
So
my
advice
would
be
to
make
sure
there's
no
existing
fill
meter
baseball
event
scheduled
because
that
parking
area
fills
up
very
quickly.
C
N
A
Maybe
you
could
take
a
look,
Commissioner,
Futterman,
sort
of
the
overall
plan
and
sort
of
assess
to
what
degree
is
that,
generally
about
sustainability
and
to
what
degree
does
it
fall
into
waste
reduction
topics
and
you'd
be
able
to
make
some
statement
about
that
that
we
could
defend
FF?
You
know
at
the
point
that
we
got
to
allocate
the
money
so
sure.
C
C
A
So
any
other
questions
no
further
discussion,
all
right,
so
the
motion
in
front
of
us
is
to
approve
up
to
not
more
than
$2,500
for
up
to
two
billboards.
So
all
in
favor
say
yes
opposed,
say
no
abstain.
Motion
carries
there.
You
go
move
forward
all
right.
Our
second
item
in
new
business
is
a
commission
recommendation
regarding
Laverne
Way,
which
has
been
a
topic
before
council.
You
received
a
report
and
I'll
call
on
commissioners,
Wilson
and
Friedman
and
vice-chair
Clark
to
report.
G
Guess
I'll
go
I,
can't
remember
exactly
where
we
left
off
on
this
topic
at
the
last
Commission
boutique.
But
you
may
recall
that
this
issue
was
kicked
back
to
us
by
the
City
Council
for
review,
with
this
particular
component,
sent
back
to
us
for
review
of
four
items
of
four
streets
that
are
to
be
reviewed
or.
G
So,
although
we've
had
the
ATC
on
our
agendas,
that
committee
is
really
just
Greg
and
me
and
we're
really
the
walkability
ad
hoc
committee,
and
so
we
thought
it
would
be
more
appropriate
if
it
would
go
to
the
entire
Commission
and
have
more
teeth
so
to
speak.
So
with
some
support
from
the
vice-chair
and
also
from
Commissioner
Friedman,
we
got
the
statement
put
together,
which
also
had
some
input
from
chair
Jackson.
G
So
it's
the
summary
plus
the
background,
and
hopefully
you
had
some
opportunity
to
review
the
entire
statement
here
and
then
also
I
did
go
ahead
and
add
a
tenth
item
here,
based
on
mr.
Flanagan's
input.
So
I'll
just
go
ahead
and
read
what
what
I
drafted
here
as
the
tenth
item,
which
would
be
the
minor
mobility
corridor,
would
better
connect
the
multifamily
residential
uses
at
the
West
End
of
Luverne
way
to
the
commercial
uses
near
the
East
End
of
Luverne
way.
Vietnam
motor
WA
non
motorized
means.
A
L
I
am
seeing
a
larger
number
larger
number
of
people
who
are
actually
using
that
so
including
people
who
are
already
biking
on
on
Laverne,
so
it
is
being
used
and
if,
if
it's
restriped,
it
will
be
a
lot
safer
and
I
certainly
want
to
join
what
mr.
Flannagan
said,
because
that
would
be
a
good
access
for
people
to
get
to
the
shopping
centers
there.
The
one
thing
I
did
want
to
mention
looking
at
the
bids
and
I'm,
not
sure
how
we
sort
of
addressed.
That
Farrell
way
is
also
found.
L
L
550
to
600,
I
didn't
calculate
all
of
them,
but
there
is
a
strong
possibility
that
council
may
put
Laverne
on
the
chopping
block
just
because
the
money
is
not
there
for
five
of
them,
but
probably
is
there
or
very
close
to
being
there
before
of
them.
I'm,
not
sure
how
our
Commission
addresses
that
the
bids
are
what
they
are
they,
but
I
I
do
have
that
concern,
and
so
you
know
we
should
sort
of
continue
to
urge
Council
to
do
that
ball,
though
I
think
I
kind
of
feel.
L
You
know
where
this
is
going
to
come
out
to
be
perfectly
honest
with
you,
given
other
budget
concerns,
so
perhaps
that's
it
doesn't
happen
now,
perhaps
there's
a
way
working
with
J,
because
measure
J
is
providing
some
funds
to
see.
If
there
would
be.
You
know
in
future
years
some
semester
J
money
available,
but
probably
for
this
fiscal
year.
There
know
that
it
may
not
be
possible,
but
I
certainly
want
to
support
this
and
and
would
encourage
us
to
make
the
recommendation.
L
A
G
I,
don't
think
it
was.
It
was
not
our
directive
to
make
any
sort
of
priority
judgment
based
on
the
bids
are
directed
was
to
provide
opinion
on
levert
ways.
Specifically
so
I
appreciate
the
information
on
the
bids,
but
this
our
statement
was
in
response
to
the
request
directly
from
City
Council
and
so
I
was
expecting
maybe
a
little
bit
more
discussion.
G
So
I
would
just
add
that,
prior
to
the
meeting
of
the
City
Council,
where
this
direction
was
provided,
I
did
go
out
to
Luverne
way,
anticipating
that
this
discussion
was
coming
up
at
the
City
Council
meeting
and
I
was
really
impressed
at
how
many
cyclists
were
in
the
vicinity
and
pedestrians
as
well.
There
were
actually
a
lot
more
than
I
would
have
expected
mid
day,
presumably
tourists
and
locals
alike,
so
they
are
there,
regardless
of
the
striping
being
there
or
not.
F
A
Say
no
abstain
and
motion
passes.
Thank
you
all
right
word
I'm
three,
and
that
is
a
discussion
on
a
proposed
ordinance
regarding
clean
air,
smoking
and
tobacco
use.
I
asked
Commissioner
Baker
if
he
would
review
that
material
that
it
was
presented
to
us
last
month
and
at
public
comment,
and
thank
you
again
for
being
here
tonight
and
so
for
us
to
just
have
a
little
bit
of
discussion
about
it
and
I
guess.
We
can
also
talk
about
the
retail
licensing
a
little
bit
if
we
want
to
so
Commissioner
Baker
yeah.
J
So
the
idea
is
to
increase
the
ban
on
cigarette
smoking
right
now.
There's
two
competing
laws:
there's
a
state
law
versus
what
we
have
going
on
in
Palm
Springs
right
now.
State
law
basically
is
you're,
probably
familiar
with.
It's
just
restricts
smoking
based
on
health
issues
that,
if
you're
in
an
employment
environment,
you
should
not
be
forced
to
be
in
a
closed
space
where
there's
a
second
hand
cigarette
smoke.
The
proposal
would
expand
that
even
into
your
own
residence.
J
If
you
live
in
multi-family
multi-unit
dwelling
places,
parks,
dog
parks,
public
spaces,
so
basically
the
only
place
left
to
smoke
would
be
in
a
detached,
single-family
residence
inside
your
own
home.
All
right,
yes,
so
many
with
is
the
backyard.
Can
you
smoke
in
your
back
or
in
your
back
yard,
on
your
own
property?
So
that's
the
genesis
of
the
idea.
A
You've
sort
of
named
it
in
a
nutshell:
it
would
significantly
restrict
places
you
could
legally
smoke
in
Palm,
Springs
correct
all
right,
so
we
don't
have.
We
don't
have
a
motion
before
us.
The
the
sense
was
that
we
could
just
have
a
little
bit
of
discussion
to
see
about
the
the
sense
of
the
Commission
before
we
proceeded
with
any
action
or
not
so,
questions
comments,
Commissioner
Baker
or
our
experts
in
the
audience
could
could
help
us
if
need
be.
M
J
A
A
J
J
I
F
Whereas
that
is
not
the
case,
if
you
own
a
single-family
residence
somewhere
in
the
city,
then
you
are
free
to
to
be
in
the
vicinity
of
your
building
and
do
whatever
you
like.
I
I
would
oppose
that,
because
I
think
that's
enforcing
a
differential
set
of
rules
for
people
based
on
just
the
fact
that
they're
living
in
a
multi
so.
F
J
That
was
the
same
I
also
own,
a
property
in
Santa
Monica,
which
has
the
same
a
similar
ordinance
or
you're
prohibited
from
smoking
in
multi-unit
dwellings,
and
that
was
one
of
the
issues
raised.
However,
it
moved
through
the
council
and
has
been
law
now
for
about
five
years
and
it
really
hasn't
been
much
of
a
problem
in
the
city
of
Santa
Monica.
E
L
Perhaps
it
might
be
more
efficient
to
look
at
the
tobacco
retail
permit
ordinance,
because
that
is
sort
of
already
a
Riverside
County
ordinance
and
a
number
of
Valley
cities
have
adopted
it
and
seems
from
research
that
mr.
Henrickson
has
brought
two
to
this
body
as
well
as
to
one
PS.
The
Palm
Springs
is
behind
the
time.
So
perhaps
if
we
were
to
look
at
things,
we
would
start
with
with
where
we're
not
doing
something
that
other
Valley
cities
are
consider
are
doing,
and
we
can
look
about
what
what
effect
that
would
be.
A
Sure,
and
and
now
just
say,
the
cheer
was
kind
of
mistaken
as
I
was
creating
the
agenda.
I
didn't
think
that
we
were
being
asked
to
speak
on
that
one
way
or
the
other,
so
I
didn't
put
it
on
the
agenda,
but
we
can
certainly
circle
back
even
today
and
have
a
little
conversation
about
it
as
part
of
the
general
topic.
So
why
don't
I
call
on
Commissioner
spry
who
had
you
had
your
hand
up
right?
Oh,
okay!
A
A
G
Need
to
say
the
the
question
of
elitism
as
it
relates
to
the
affordability
of
a
single-family
residence
versus
someone
who
may
not
be
able
to
afford
a
single-family
residence
and
that
cost
factor
I
wonder
if
mr.
Hendrickson
has
been
able
to
do
some
research
in
that
regard,
and
maybe
he
can
speak
to
that.
Could
we
ask
him
if
he
approached
the
table?
Yes,.
A
E
First
off,
let
me
share
that
this
isn't
a
new
experiment
by
any
means.
This
has
already
been
taking
place
in
many
cities
and
the
ordinance
isn't
just
about
that.
It's
also
about
smoking,
on
patios
of
restaurants
and
bars
and
at
public
events,
etc.
So
those
are
important
components
not
to
overlook,
but
coming
back
to
in
the
single-family
residence
in
January,
1st
of
2017
HUD
nationally
required
that
all
HUD
contract
properties
are
smoke-free
inside
and
out.
E
G
Well,
it
take,
for
example,
there
are
certain
mental
illnesses
that
are
associated
with
smoking.
Tobacco
I
realized
that
this
discussion
stemmed
from
marijuana
use,
but
I
won't
name
the
mental
illness,
but
there
is
a
specific
death
alone.
This
that
comes
to
mind
that
is
associated
with
tobacco
use,
and
so,
if,
if
somebody
who
has
that
particular
mental
illness
smokes
cigarettes
but
is
confined
to
a
rental
property,
how?
How
would
that
person
be
able
to
smoke
and
his
or
her
residence?
That's.
E
A
question
I
haven't
heard
before,
but
here's
another
one
I
want
to
also
share
and
that
secondhand
smoke
and
third-hand
smoke
also
caused
discrimination
because,
as
a
result
of
where
they
exist,
there
are
many
people
with
respiratory
issues
that
are
excluded.
They
can't
participate
fully
in
society.
The
way,
though
others
can,
because
if
they
have
emphysema,
COPD
respiratory
development
issues,
other
heart
issues,
they've
had
stroke
issues,
it's
also
a
matter
of
discrimination,
and
so
that's
an
issue
that
has
to
be
addressed.
To
is
everything
perfect?
E
E
Glad
your
asset,
because
there's
a
lot
of
confusion,
people
think
that,
as
a
result
of
marijuana
being
made
recreationally
legally
legal
in
California
that
suddenly
it
can
be
done
anywhere
and
everywhere
and,
as
commissioner
Baker
had
engine
correctly,
is
that
it's
just
it's
very
much
like
alcohol.
You
can't
consume
it
in
public,
which
is
missed
by
a
lot
of
people.
So
you
you
wouldn't
be
able
to
use
that
on
restaurants
and
bars,
or
public
events
before
January,
1st
or
after.
E
Know
that's
a
good
question
and
there
is
a
resource
and
I
will
ask
them
about
that
and
get
back
to
you
on
that.
Cuz
I
don't
know
for
certain,
but
there
is
a
coalition
with
the
Riverside
County
Department
of
Health
that
we
work
with
and
I
will
address
that
question
to
them.
It's
a
good
question:
Thank
You
commissioners.
A
B
K
K
A
Dude
commissioners,
do
you
want
to
take
a
moment
and
speak,
as
commissioner
Freedman
said,
to
the
to
be
coat
tobacco,
retail
licensing,
ordinance
and-
and
that
would
be
the
suggestion-
is
that
we
adopt
the
template
of
Riverside
County
for
Palm
Springs.
Isn't
that
right,
yeah,
so
I
I
will
I'll
offer
a
comment.
I've
been
in
support
of
this
for
three
or
four
years.
A
I
just
couldn't
get
a
councilmember
to
support
me
in
the
conversation
at
that
point,
so
I
think
we
are
desperately
in
need
of
adopting
that
to
try
to
stem
the
underage
tobacco
use
in
Palm.
Springs
Cathedral
cities
had
it
for
a
number
of
years,
and
so
why?
Wouldn't
we
as
well,
anyone
else
have
a
thought.
I.
A
O
E
O
A
We
could
we
could
agendize
something
like
that
for
the
April
meeting
or
a
resolution
of
support
for
a
tobacco
retail
licensing
program
for
Riverside
County.
Okay,
all
right
all
right,
commissioners,
other
questions
about
this
topic,
Commissioner,
Baker
or
anything
else.
You
need
to
say
all
right.
Okay,.
B
K
A
F
A
But
not
address
the
individual
right,
I
mean
there
could
be
all
kinds
of
incremental
steps.
So
so
why
don't
you
all
keep
talking
on
that?
Well
it
let's
bring
up
the
TRP
and
at
the
April
me
great
yeah,
and
of
course
any
Commissioner
can
say
whatever
they
jolly
well
pleased
at
any
point
to
so
that's
you.
Everyone.
E
A
A
A
Like
to
go
to
dinner
at
some
point
tonight,
all
right,
we
are
at
item
number
four.
We
did
receive
a
request
from
staff
at
the
Palm
Springs
Public
Library,
to
again
sponsor
prizes
for
their
summer
reading
program.
Last
year
we
approved
three
hundred
fifty
dollars
to
purchase
some
bikes
and
safety
equipment
which
were
a
part
of
the
prizes
offered
and
sustainability.
Commission
had
materials
at
the
library,
I
think
Commissioner
Friedman
were
you
there.
A
A
L
As
director
varada
mentioned,
the
desert
Community
Energy
Board,
met
yesterday
and
I
had
a
chance
to
speak
to
Benjamin
durian
from
seabag
this
afternoon
to
follow
up
without
repeating
too
much
what
was
just
said.
The
goal
is
to
go
live
the
summer.
There
are
some
complicated
issues
with
the
CPUC,
but
hopefully
they'll
be
able
to
resolve
themselves
I
once
again
extended
an
offer
to
assist
seabag
and
DCE
on
rollout
and
in
Palm
Springs,
including,
hopefully
organizing
a
brown
bag
with
1ps
to
bring
the
residents
involved.
L
The
DC
is
looking
into
having
a
Community
Advisory,
Committee
and
I
sort
of
scented,
my
name
through
my
name
into
hat
yesterday
by
sending
an
email
to
Katie,
because
I
would
very
much
be
honored
to
be
directly
involved
on
in
that
and
the
system
I'll
roll
out
and
just
sort
of
it's
a
informal
advisory
committee
that
I
believe
they're
they're
doing,
which
is
best
practice
with
some
of
these
CCA
programs
I'm.
Also
in
touch
with
Kym
Floyd
of
the
Sierra
Club.
He
was
at
the
meeting
yesterday.
L
He
called
me
and
will
perhaps
organize
a
meeting
with
councilmember
Coors
and
director
varada,
just
to
discuss
some
some
technical
issues
and
offer
our
input
on
that,
just
because
we're
sort
of
energy
geeks
on
that
so
I'm
happy
to
help
out
like
to
see
this
sort
of
volley
out.
There
have
been
some
issues
on
rancho
mirage,
which
is
moving
along
with
a
separate
provider,
and
I've
heard
at
least
anecdotally
that
there's
some
concern
about
the
rollout.
L
So
we
should
get
that
right
and
hopefully
also
encourage
people
to
adopt
the
will
be
the
carbon
free
option.
It
will
include
a
large
hydroelectric.
There
was
a
discussion
yesterday,
but
the
100%
won't
be
all
renewable,
so
there
will
be
wind
and
solar,
but
also
there
will
be
some
hydroelectric
involved
in
that
there
may
be
later
on
next
year
or
so
a
separate
option
that
would
just
be
essentially
wind
and
solar,
but
for
the
moment
the
100%
will
be
carbon
free,
but
not
100%,
renewable
because
of
issues
on
hydroelectric
so
forth.
L
On
that
also
on
the
regulatory
front,
the
Energy
Commission
was
supposed
to
adopt
the
new
energy
code.
Tomorrow,
that's
been
postponed
for
at
least
a
short
amount
of
time.
There
was
a
number
of
public
comments
at
a
hearing
they
held
earlier
this
month
in
the
early
February
and
written
comments.
So
I'll
continue
to
follow
that
process
and
Sacramento
and
report
back,
particularly
on
solar
I.
L
We
talked
last
month
about
the
solar
resolution
which
council
adopted
in
January
Daniel
finally
got
the
correct
version
of
the
resolution
from
Flynn
earlier
today
and
has
now
posted
that
I
will
be
following
up
with
the
National
League
of
Cities,
about
their
soul,
smart
program
to
see
about
the
city
and
getting
designated
the
they're
having
a
webinar
Thursday
morning.
So
I'll
sign
up
with
that
and
then
follow
up
and
inform
director
Parata
about
how
we
can
get.
L
You
know
something
nice
for
Palm
Springs,
that
we
get
a
soul,
smart
designation
for
that
and
finally,
on
the
energy
Green
Building
at
tomorrow
night's
council
meeting
at
the
request
of
councilmember
holstege,
the
council
will
be
asked
to
consider
a
resolution
opposing
reopening
of
the
Bureau
of
Mann
Bureau
of
Land
Management
proposal
on
the
desert
renewable
energy
conservation
plan,
which
the
Obama
administration
had
finalized.
But
the
current
administration
is
trying
to
open
up
and
obviously
their
concerns
about
substantial
development
areas,
particularly
bordering
Joshua
Tree.
L
That
would
negatively
affect
both
the
environment
but
also
Palm,
Springs,
tourism
and,
and
you
know,
issues
about
our
quality
of
life
here.
So
hopefully
council
will
adopt
that
tomorrow.
So
that's
it
for
me
and
I
know.
Commissioner,
coins
is
working
on
a
green,
green
building,
green
integrative
jobs
programs.
All
that
I've
talked
about.
Yes,.
A
P
Not
much
to
say
right
now:
they're
scheduled
for
three
consecutive
Saturdays,
April
14
to
21st
and
28th
for
three
hours.
It's
gonna
be
one
hour
of
instruction
lunch
and
a
second
hour
of
instruction.
So
that's
what
we
have
scheduled
at
this
time,
so
we're
gonna
work
on
getting
a
registration
system
in
place
so
that
we
can
gather
names
and
numbers
of
people
who
want
to
attend
twenty
to
twenty-five.
People
is
a
good
number,
but
it's
a
pilot
program.
So
if
we
get
five
people,
that'll
be
great
but
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
interest.
P
Be
it's
the
G
Pro
program,
so
it's
a
green
building
fundamentals
program.
So
the
idea
is
you
get
four
hours
of
instruction
you
take
two
hour
test
and
you're
awarded
a
certificate
that
basically
says
I
understand
green
building
at
a
fundamental
level.
It's
a
building
block
credential
that
you
can
then
use
to
learn
more
detail
in
more
detail
about
other
areas
of
green
building,
mechanicals
electrical
carpentry.
P
A
F
Okay,
we
we've
already
discussed
one
of
the
points
tonight.
The
plastics
recycling
crisis,
so
I
I,
don't
have
to
say
any
more
about
that.
That'll
save
us
a
bit
of
time
too.
F
F
We
did
submit
a
grant
proposal
to
it,
I
believe
it's
for
$50,000
and
that
would
cover
all
the
costs
of
what
we're
talking
about
both
up
front
and
sustaining
so
hopeful
that
something
good
will
come
out
of
that
second
issue:
reducing
polystyrene
takeout
containers
for
restaurants,
just
a
bit
of
history
on
February
14th,
councilmember,
Junior
Roberts
asked
the
sustainability
Commission
to
research.
Similar
ordinances
and
other
municipalities
offer
recommendations
and
suggestions
and
provide
an
update
on
legislation
at
the
statewide
level.
That's
seeking
to
put
a
ban
on
these
kinds
of
containers
and
plastic
straws
in
response.
F
On
February,
28th
Jessica
completed
the
first
draft
of
a
report
to
us
dressing
councilmembers
Roberts
requests.
We
have
now
reviewed
her
first
draft,
it's
currently
under
revision
and
we
anticipate
delivering
over
or
to
the
Commission
next
month
and
I'm
going
to
quickly.
Anybody
have
any
questions
or
anybody.
This
justjust
interrupt
me
yeah.
Please
do.
K
Also
about
I
had
noticed,
heard
also
been
some
bands,
not
there's
bands
for
restaurants,
there's
the
plastic
straw,
ordinance
and
there's
also,
you
know,
bands
about
citywide
facilities
and
anything
the
city
sponsors
using
expanded,
polystyrene
styrofoam,
and
so
she
suggested
that
we
go
and
strong,
and
we
because
she's
in
huge
support
of
this
and
she
wants
us
to
be-
she
thinks
it
might
get
whittled
down
eventually,
but
that
we
should
go
and
strong,
and
so
after
today,
I'd
like
to
also
add
in
another
ordinance
that
bans
the
styrofoam
on
citywide.
That's
so
look
these.
F
K
F
F
See
then,
just
this
afternoon,
Roy
Clark
gave
a
presentation
summarizing
our
findings
and
our
suggestion
for
adding
recycle
containers
in
public
parks
to
the
park
and
Rec,
Commission
and
I
didn't
know
how
this
was
going
to
go
over,
but
it
generated
about
40
minutes
of
discussion.
We
got
a
lot
of
stories
about
the
history
behind
this
and
there
was
an
effort
to
do
this
a
few
years
ago.
F
It
was
aborted
and
it's
never
been
picked
up,
but
I
would
say
Roy
that
the
bottom
line
from
that
meeting
is
they're
very
supportive
of
getting
something
into
the
parks.
If
we
can
do
it
and
if
we
can
get
containers
in
there
that
can
alleviate
some
of
the
problems
that
Stacey
was
talking
about,
that
they
have
with
them,
which
is
that
they're
the
targets.
F
If
you
have
a
recycle
bin,
then
they're
gonna
go
after
and
try
to
steal
the
recycle
material
out
of
it
and
in
the
process
they
often
just
scattered
the
container
and
everything
in
it
that
it
isn't
recyclable
I
just
saw
all
over
the
ground.
So
so
we've
got
some
issues
there,
but
but
in
general
they
were
very
supportive
of
the
idea
and
they've
allocated
somebody
on
their
commission
to
start
to
work
with
us
on
it.
F
A
A
F
B
A
B
We
sleep,
let
him
split
them
up,
I
mean
I,
think
one's
eleven
thousand
and
one's
twelve
thousand
yeah,
so
that
would
still
be
below
the
amount
that
would
need
to
go
to
City
Council,
but
it
wouldn't
need
city
manager
approval,
so
we
could
maybe
squeeze
it
in
and
in
time.
If
we
do
the
sixteen
money
in
2016
money
now
and
then
well,
it
isn't
grant
right.
A
O
O
Especially
with
the
input
that
we
got
from
Stacey
and
the
Parks
and
Recreation
Commission
is
going
to
be
a
challenge
to
come
up
with
something
that
is
vandal-proof
easily
visually
separated
from
trash
containers
that
we
understand
what
we
have
to
do.
But
it's
a
matter
of
finding
the
right
type
of
container
yeah.
F
A
Okay,
I
do
want
to
remind
the
Commission
at
the
last
month.
We
did
give
this
subcommittee
the
authority
to
move
forward
on
the
beverage
container
expenditures
without
coming
back
to
us,
so
if
they
they
do
find
a
solution,
they
can
move
forward
without
getting
an
approval
back
from
us
at
one
of
our
meetings
related
to
that
issue,
that's.
A
This
was
out
of
also
consideration
for
Gary's
concerned
about
using
the
money.
If
you
can
figure
out
a
plan
to
move
forward,
you
don't
have
to
come
back
to
us.
We
approve
that
at
the
at
the
February
meeting,
I
also
want
to
ask
so
so
possibly
we
may
have
a
substantial
discussion
on
the
styrofoam
beverage
or
styrofoam
food
containers
and
straws
at
the
next
meeting
is
that
is
that
a
possibility
you're
saying
at.
F
O
A
J
I
reached
out
to
the
desert,
I
always
get
this
name
wrong.
It's
the
desert
that
does
regional
is
desert
health
care.
What
does
it
found?
It?
Yeah?
It's
not
the
foundation,
but
it's
good
I
spoke
to
them
and
they
have
some
things
coming
up
before
summer
and
they'd
be
happy
to
have
the
city
work
with
them.
J
L
Yes,
first,
the
good
news,
as
you
may
recall,
that
during
the
drought,
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
saved
a
substantial
amount
of
water,
I
had
actually
gone
through
dozens
of
pages
of
spreadsheets
of
Excel
spreadsheets
and
come
up
with
a
calculation
I
believe
about
the
37
percent
reduction
of
water.
During
the
drought
period
declared
by
the
governor
and
the
DWA
Board
issued
a
resolution
commending
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
for
its
outstanding
water
savings.
So
that's
good
news
and
there's
a
certificate.
L
Reaming
and
hopefully
we'll
this
well,
we
can
display
that
in
a
prominent
location
here
at
City
Hall
to
sort
of
encourage
people
to
follow
the
examples.
That's
the
good
news.
The
bad
news
is
that
was
then.
This
is
now
at
this
morning's
DWA
board
meeting.
They
announced
that
the
savings
from
the
2013
baseline
for
February
was
only
8%.
It's
been
going
down
the
last
couple
of
months.
I
thought
it
was
because
of
the
warmer
weather
we
were
having,
but
February
was
fairly
cool,
so
that
was
not
not
necessarily
the
issue.
L
There
is
concern
that
was
expressed
of
the
gwa
board,
meaning
about
sort
of
conservation
fatigue
and
conservation
message
fatigue,
so
they're
going
to
be
looking
at
perhaps
other
ways
to
spread
the
conservation
message
and
offered
to
work
closely
with
them.
Ashley
Metzker
who's,
the
conservation,
outreach
manager
at
DW
a
to
assist
to
see
what
the
city
can
do
to
to
provide
some.
You
know
support
for
those
efforts
because
we
need
to
be
doing
better.
This
is
not
just
Palm
Springs
or
DWA.
L
It
does
appear
to
be
statewide
that
the
message
is
sort
of
dropped
off
the
dropped
off
the
radar,
so
we'll
work
with
that
and
finally
I'll
be
joining
DW,
a
and
other
community
leaders
on
a
tour,
the
Hoover
Dam
and
the
Colorado
River
aqueduct
at
the
end
of
next
month.
That's
an
educational
tour
because
most
of
the
water
that
comes
through
DW,
a
and
provide
to
Palm
Springs
actually
generates
is
generated
from
the
Colorado
River,
as
opposed
to
Northern
California.
L
L
There
was
a
small
list
because
it's
paid
for
by
the
Metropolitan
Water
District's
I
think
that
I
was
I.
Do
encourage
you,
though
I
believe
voiture
Clark
has
already
done
it.
There
is
a
water
counts,
Academy,
which
is
I,
believe
three
evenings
at
UCR
Palm
Desert,
followed
by
a
sort
of
half-day
site
sort
of
going
around
tour
to
some
of
the
leading
sites.
So
if
you
haven't
done
that,
I
would
encourage
the
they're
just
finishing
up
one
round
and
they'll
probably
announce
a
new
one
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks.
C
Wanted
to
thank
you
all
for
the
approval
to
get
our
billboards
done
so
we'll
be
working
on
a
design.
If
any
of
you
have
any
ideas
of
what
to
do,
or
you
know
what
what
might
look
good
and
if
any
of
you
have
ideas
of
how
to
distribute
these
I
will
get
some
printed
for
this
weekend's
1ps
neighborhood
picnic.
So
we
can
have
those
at
the
table
just
to
save
the
dates.
C
Some
of
you
have
mentioned
that
you
have
contacts
that
you
feel
might
be
good
outreach
educators
for
the
event,
if
you
have
any
other
ideas,
I
welcome
you
to
share
those
with
me.
If
any
of
you
would
like
to
join
me
in
planning
this
event,
you're
most
welcome
to
do
that,
and
you
know
we'll
keep
our
one
day
a
week
at
that
one
day
a
month
at
the
farmers
markets
and.
B
A
G
A
B
A
P
B
A
Yeah
starts
winding
down
1:30
ish.
Typically,
once
everybody's
had
their
hamburger,
they
go
home,
yeah
yeah,
but
it's
a
fun
event
and
a
lot
of
people,
and
it
really
is
a.
It
really
is
a
chance
to
get
some
messages
out.
Well,
we
have
some
of
our
basic
sustainability
Flyers
there
too.
Okay,
great,
thank
you
Dan,
all
right,
any
questions
of
Commissioner
Futterman.
Anything
else.
All
right,
commissioner,
comments.
O
One
of
the
the
main
reason
why
I
made
the
appointment
to
talk
to
Jeff
Kors
on
March,
9th
or
was
the
initial
reason
was
to
talk
to
him
about
to
get
some
guidance
on
proceeding
with
the
the
the
mayor's
pledge
for
milkweed
for
monarchs.
We
had
the
draft
request
to
mayor
moon.
I
gave
him
a
copy
of
that.
He
said
he
would
contact
mayor
moon
to
determine
if
he
was
willing
to
sign
the
pledge
and
if
not
David
ready,
as
the
CEO
of
the
of
the
city
can
consign
I
will
get
back
with
with
Jeff.
O
Secondly,
we
were
just
talking
about
the
1ps
picnic
and
we
will
have
butterfly
milkweed
and
mana
information
at
the
table
for
the
sustainability
Commission,
like
we
did
at
the
at
the
farmers
market
at
the
beginning
of
the
month
and
Christine
Hamlin
will
be
there
and
I
did
want
to
mention
for
those
of
you
who
hadn't
heard
about
it.
I'll
pass
these
around
on
Sunday
the
25th
at
1
o'clock.
O
Jinan
tree
there'll
be
there's
a
butterfly
garden,
there's
a
mural
that
love
music
and
crafts
for
kids
and
food,
so
everybody's
encouraged
to
attend
and
Christine
and
I
will
be
there
at
a
table
as
well
and
finally,
Christine
had
a
question:
I,
don't
know
if
we
can
discuss
an
hour,
we
need
to
agendize
it,
but
for
future
work
that
we
do
on
milkweed
for
monarchs.
Since
the
Commission
has
said
that
we
want
it
to
be
a
sponsor
a
promoter,
would
we
be
able
to
use
these
your
sustainability,
City
logo?
A
D
C
I
think
that
this
is
probably
the
only
time
that
I
could
probably
say
something
about
this,
but
I
was
pretty
disappointed
that
the
buzz
was
discontinued
or
is
going
to
be
discontinued,
because
I
think
that
this
was
a
huge
opportunity
to
have
a
sustainable,
sustainable,
Iran,
transportation
and
I.
Think
it
made
Palm
Springs
stand
out
in
a
way
I've
seen,
one
in
Ojai
I
think
that
there
weren't
enough
options
explored
to
cut
costs,
and
it
was
just
they
killed
the
buzz,
and
it
seems
unfortunate
so
I
just
wanted
to
express
that.
A
Other
things
well,
I
just
want
to
say:
I-
am
awfully
excited
about
the
initiative
that
is
happening
on
just
about
every
front
in
this
sustainability.
Commission
there's
just
lots
going
on
on
lots
of
different
topics,
waste
and
tobacco
and
films
and
bike
paths,
and
so
keep
at
it.
Just
great
stuff
is
happening,
has
happened
and
is
on
the
path
and
I
think
the
possibility
of
having
a
conversation
with
councilmember
Coors
will
simply
accelerate
those
ideas
in
that
progress,
so
I.
A
Thank
you
all
very
much
for
all
that
you're
doing
and
so
will
entertain
a
motion
for
adjournment.
Our
next
meeting.
April
15th
is
normally
tax
day,
but
that's
a
Sunday.
It
is
Emancipation
Day
in
the
District
of
Columbia,
on
the
16th
of
or
on
the
know.
I
guess,
yeah,
the
16th
and
so
tax
day
is
not
until
the
17th.
