Description
Regular meeting of the City of Palm Springs Parks and Recreation Committee, held September 26th, 2022
A
A
A
A
F
A
B
So
for
this
one
on
September
1st,
we
brought
forward
an
item
to
council
to
formally
accept
the
grant
that
we
received
for
the
swim
center
so
way
back
in
April,
we
had
applied
for
a
grant
to
acquire
10
competitive,
starting
blocks
to
replace
our
old
equipment
at
the
Swim
Center
and
the
Grant
from
the
Anderson
Children's
Fund
in
the
amount
of
thirty
eight
thousand
seven
hundred
and
sixty
four
dollars
is
going
to
allow
us
the
ability
to
procure
10
new
starting
blocks
for
the
swim
center.
So
we've
already
started
the
procurement
process.
B
B
The
process
of
overseeding
grass
requires
a
more
frequent
watering
in
order
for
the
seeds
to
germinate,
because
we
are
under
a
level
two
emergency
regulations.
Regarding
water
usage,
the
city
had
to
request
special
permission
from
the
Desert
Water
Agency
to
do
the
necessary
daytime
watering
in
our
parks.
B
So
on
August
17th
we
presented
our
plan
to
the
desert,
Water
Agency,
and
they
approve,
what's
called
a
conservation
alternative
plan.
So
this
agenda
item
that
went
to
council
was
for
our
2022
plan
for
over
seeding
our
parks
to
show
those
recreational
areas.
Those
recreational
grassy
areas
that
would
be
receded.
This
fall
I
also
want
to
mention
related
to
this
topic,
is
a
larger
project
that
dates
back
to
2015,
which
involves
converting
some
of
our
green
spaces
in
our
Parks
into
drought,
tolerant
Landscaping
as
part
of
a
comprehensive
water
reduction
strategy
for
the
city.
B
So
later
on,
today's
agenda,
it's
presentation
item
a
we'll
begin
to
talk
more
about
the
phases
and
implementation
of
that
specific
project.
But
what
went
to
Council
on
September
1st
was
the
overseeding
plan
to
basically
designate
that
we
were
going
to
be
using
water
during
a
sort
of
restricted
time
period.
B
B
We've
also
programmed
the
facility
with
some
instructor-led
classes
for
our
community,
so
we've
got
tap
dance
on
Mondays
we've
got
Aikido
on
Tuesdays
and
Thursdays,
and
yoga
is
offered
six
days
a
week,
so
lots
of
fun
things
to
do
at
the
Leisure
Center
over
at
the
Swim
Center.
We
have
open
swim
seven
days
a
week
for
the
public
to
use
the
pole
and
for
those
who,
like
classes,
we
have
instructor-led
water
aerobics
three
days
a
week.
Those
are
Tuesdays,
Thursdays
and
Saturdays.
B
Of
course,
the
Swim
Center
is
home
to
our
two
competitive
swim
clubs.
They
use
our
facility
year
round,
for
their
swim
meets
a
fun
special
event
that
we're
working
on
right
now
is
on
Saturday
October,
22nd,
Parks
and
Rec
staff
are
planning
our
annual
floating
pumpkin
patch
event.
So,
if
you've
not
attended
this
one
in
the
past,
this
one's
really
exciting
participants
can
basically
go
in
the
pool
they
can
get
a
floating
pumpkin,
take
it
out
of
the
pool
and
then
go
to
one
of
our
adjacent
table
areas
where
they
can
decorate
the
pumpkin.
B
There
will
also
be
sort
of
music
games
and
crafts.
So
for
that
one
right
now
we're
planning
that
for
Saturday,
October,
22nd
really
fun
at
James,
oh
Jesse,
we've
got
our
fall
season
of
Health
and
Wellness
activities.
We've
got
the
workout
gym
open
Mondays
through
Fridays
we
have
indoor
pickleball
from
nine
to
one
Monday
through
Fridays
we've
also
continued
drill
team
and
drum
Squad
classes
on
Tuesdays
and
Wednesdays,
and
for
something
new
on
Tuesday
nights.
B
Also,
still
at
joj
for
some
of
our
fall
educational
activities,
we've
launched
after
school
homework
help
program
so
Mondays
through
Thursdays.
Our
staff
is
on
site
to
assist
students
with
their
homework
for
those
who
are
50
and
over.
We
have
our
mature
adult
program
on
Wednesdays
and
that's
from
10
to
12..
B
We
also
relaunched
for
the
fall,
the
youth
encouragement
program
and
that
is
falling
on
Thursdays
from
four
to
six.
That
program
is
for
students
fifth
grade
through
12th
grade
and
includes
guest
speakers,
discussions
and
field
trips
for
those
interested
in
knitting
and
sewing.
We
have
classes
on
Fridays.
We
also
have
the
computer
lab
available
for
the
community
Monday
through
Fridays
from
9
A.M
to
6
p.m.
B
For
special
events
coming
up
on
October
14th,
we
have
developed
a
really
fun
back
to
school,
dance
event
for
grades.
Five
through
nine
there'll
be
live,
music
snacks
they'll
be
like
kind
of
fun,
selfie
photo
spots
and
I
think
this
one
will
have
a
small
admission
fee.
I
believe
it
is
three
dollars
in
advance,
so
lots
going
on
at
James,
o
Jessie
for
demuth.
Our
staff
is
teaching
two
different
art
classes
on
Tuesdays
and
Thursdays.
We
have
Art
Factory
and
then
on
Fridays
we
have
the
art
of
crafting
and
that
one
is
for
adults.
B
Also
at
demos
we
have
a
number
of
instructor-led,
Health
and
Wellness
offerings
for
our
community.
We
have
weekly
karate
classes
Mondays
through
Thursdays
for
children
and
adults.
We
have
boxing
classes
Mondays
through
Fridays.
We
have
a
morning
Fitness
class
offered
Tuesdays,
Thursdays
and
Saturdays
with
the
Saturday
session
being
fun
and
that
one's
sort
of
outside
an
outside
Fitness
class
for
those
who
want
to
be
outside.
B
B
We
have
several
special
events,
including
State
camps
as
well
as
holiday
camps
coming
up
on
October
14th.
They
will
hold
a
Halloween
event
at
the
state
park
and
then
on
Sunday
October
23rd.
The
skate
center
is
working
on
a
special
anniversary
event
in
celebration
of
their
9th
anniversary
here.
So
that's
also
really
exciting
and
then
we'll
have
more
details
as
as
they
work
them
out
for
that
specific
anniversary
celebration.
B
Okay,
so
now
let's
shift
gears
and
see
what
we've
been
building
so
we've
got
some
updates
for
Capital
Improvement
activities.
I
am
happy
to
report
that
our
new
restroom
facility
has
opened
up
at
demuth
Park.
It
opened
up
just
earlier
this
month
in
September
and
I've
got
some
photos
to
show
you
as
well.
This
facility
features
the
five
stalls
with
one
Ada
stall,
and
then
we
also
have
the
three
hand
washing
stations,
as
well
as
a
drinking
fountain.
B
B
So
another
just
great
asset
for
our
communities,
also
at
James,
o
Jessie.
Our
game
room
received
an
amazing
refresh
earlier
this
month
and
this
one
we
have
to
thank
the
Palm
Springs
Fire
foundation,
so
they
donated
their
time
as
well
as
their
resources
to
repaint
the
game
room
as
well
as
provide
a
pool
table
click
through
there.
So
you
can
see
that
so
I
know
our
staff
and
our
users
of
the
facility
are
really
excited
with
this
refresh.
B
Over
to
the
Palm
Springs
Swim
Center,
so
back
in
March
of
2021,
the
city
approved
a
contract
for
prop
68
funds
for
the
swim
center.
So,
under
that
project,
with
that
funding,
we
are
procuring
and
installing
two
new
large-scale
sun
shades
to
help
keep
the
pool
deck
area
cool.
The
prop
68
funds
are
approximately
a
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
dollars
to
complete
this
project
over
the
summer,
our
grant
or
I'm
sorry,
our
permit
was
approved.
So
we've
already
started
the
fabrication
process
in
terms
of
timeline.
B
We
anticipate
the
installation
of
the
shade
structures
will
occur
in
the
next
few
months
and
right
now,
I
would
probably
estimate
that
to
be
finished
in
October
or
November.
What
you're
looking
at
here
on
the
screen
right
now
is
just
the
conceptual
rendering
and
you
can
see
the
one
shade
structure
there
at
the
foot
of
the
pool
or
at
the
deep
end
and
then
just
again
another
conceptual
rendering
of
the
sun
shade
that
is
over
by
the
kids
sort
of
area
of
the
pool.
B
B
We,
if
you
can
help
us
sort
of
get
the
word
out,
I've
got
our
City
website
there.
You
just
go
to
the
HR
section,
which
lists
all
of
the
city's
recruitment,
but
these
two
specifically
for
us
are
near
and
dear
to
make
sure
that
we
can
sort
of
get
our
staffing
levels
up
to
where
they
need
to
be
in
terms
of
so
that's
it
for
my
report
for
today.
A
F
A
F
F
A
Okay,
at
this
time,
everybody
it
looks
like
everybody
has
joined
our
zoom
and
we're
all
on
the
same
link
right
now.
So
we're
gonna
go
on
to
our
presentation
action
items.
Let's
start
with
our
presentation
number
one
which
is
Parks
and
parts
landscape
and
conserve
so
Brett
Brent
I
apologize
I
got
a
brat
in
my
family
Brent.
You
would
go
ahead
and
take
the
lead,
sir.
H
H
So
Tabitha
asked
me
if
we
could
just
put
two
proposals
together
and
put
some
planting
plans
to
two
different
Parks
just
for
this
meeting.
So
that's
what
we've
done.
We've
put
together
a
planting
plan
and
a
proposal
for
both
the
baristo
park
and
the
Francis
Stevens
Park.
So
the
first
one
you're
looking
at
here,
looks
like
Francis
Stevens
or
no.
H
H
We
recently
converted
four
different
Parkways
throughout
the
city,
so
we
got
some
feedback
from
I
believe
Ken
Lyons.
What
the
city
would
like
to
see
as
far
as
planting
gravel
different
hardscapes
trees
at
the
different
Parks.
So
this
is
our
first
attempt.
We
have
in-house
designers
that
put
this
plan
together,
so
you
can
see
the
plant
palette
down
at
the
bottom
of
the
type
of
plants
that
we
are
suggesting:
the
different
Hardscape
materials,
The
Boulders,
the
DG
Richard
Cobble.
H
So
if
you
look
at
the
you
know
typical
landscape
architect
plans,
you
can
see
the
symbols
that
represent
each
plant
and
then
you
can
see
the
size,
the
quantity
and
so
forth,
and
so
on.
So
that's
basically
I
think
there's
two
pages
yep,
so
any
I
mean
I
know.
This
is
probably
the
first.
You
guys
are
seeing
this
so
I
don't
expect
any
questions
I.
H
So
then
we're
moving
to
the
Francis
Stevens
and
again
you
can
see
the
plant
palette
and
The
Hardscape
material
that
we're
proposing
with
that
plant
Legend
which
identifies
the
different
size
plants,
the
trees,
the
quantity
of
each
and
then
this
is
I,
believe
six
pages
or
seven
pages,
because
it's
taking
sections
at
a
time
because
it's
so
detailed.
This
Francis
Stevens
Park
has
like
small
little
pocket
sections
within
the
grass
area
and
like
the
sidewalks
and
the
streetscape.
F
A
It
looks
cool
and
I'm
pretty
excited
for
this.
My
only
comment
we're
going
to
be
having
a
a
subcommittee
for
this
for
the
receiving,
or
for
doing
this
with
working
with
you
guys
in
the
city.
My
comment
like
when
we
did
around
the
Pavilion
is
when
we
have
our
negative
Rock,
the
larger
Rock,
to
not
have
it
right
against
the
edge
okay.
A
A
I
I'm,
this
is
a
comment:
that's
actually
leading
into
what
I'm
talking
about
and
we're.
You
know:
Brent
I'm
in
the
public,
Arts
commission
I'm,
the
vice
chair
of
the
commission
and
we're
actually
going
to
be
re-citing
a
lot
of
our
public
art
because
of
the
fact
that
they've
been
deteriorated
through
Landscaping
issues
and
they
need
to
be
re
replaced
and
some
of
them
that
we're
talking
about
are
in
Francis
Stevens
and
some
of
the
other
Parks.
So
I
I
ask
again
publicly
that
you
involved
the
public
Arts
Commission
on
these
things.
I
So,
for
example,
Sunrise
park
has
13
pieces
of
public
art
and
I
know
you
guys
are
working
on
that.
Francis
Stevens
has
I
believe
three
or
four
right
now
and
we're
going
to
be
moving
some
of
them
because
they
are
they're
improperly
cited.
Quite
frankly
and
I'll
be
talking
about
one
of
those
in
my
presentation
when
you're
done
awesome.
H
So,
having
said
that,
just
I'm
not
sure
who
my
point
of
contact
will
be
going
forward
if
it's
going
to
be
Tabitha
or
you
Yvonne,
we'll
definitely
be
willing
to
work
with
any
other
committees
set
up
on-site
meetings
to
further
discuss.
They
want
to
help
improve
the
the
look
of
the
the
parts
throughout
the
city,
and
we
want
to
do
it
in
a
way
that
represents
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
and
can
serve
as
a
company.
So.
A
A
Sir,
thank
you.
So
is
there
any
any
other
comments
for
Brent
right
now
for
the
conserved
landscape,
for
the
the
landscape
being
changed
over
I
know
these
are
just
preliminary
drawings.
We've
got
a
few
months.
We're
gonna
be
working
on
this,
but
like
we
got
to
hit
the
ground
running
on
this
to
fall
in
our
timeline.
A
I
I
So
what
we
are
recommending
is
we
want
to
put
them
together
and
part
of
our
discussions
with
previous
city
council
has
been.
They
want
to
see
more
art
away
from
downtown
in
the
in
the
public
parks,
and
so
we
looked
at
a
couple
of
different
Parks.
What
could
handle
this
one?
Because
it
is
a
big
piece
and
it
needs
a
lot
of
space
around
it
together
and
we
found
a
space
in
temuth
park
that
we
think
would
be
great
and
you
can
see
the
little
map
there.
I
If
you
will
that
our
only
request
is
that
the
grass
be
removed
and
since
that's
part
of
the
plan
anyway,
I
don't
think
that'll
be
an
issue
and
you
can
see
down
below
there's
a
little
a
little
facsimile
of
what
it
would
look
like
with
the
red,
the
yellow
and
the
orange
together.
So
two
of
our
challenges
and
chores
moving
ahead
are
we
want
to.
As
I
said,
we
want
to
recite
some
of
the
artwork
so
we'll
be
better
preserved
and
we
want
to
recite
it.
So
it
can
be
properly
photographed.
I
I
A
Muted
I'm,
muted
I
was
talking
the
whole
time.
So
if
I
got
to
say
something
here,
honestly
Gary
I
love
where
you
guys
want
to
place
it
I
think
we
need
to
get
together
with
staff
and
I.
Have
you
know
with
our
our
landscape
committee?
You
know
I,
think
that
would
be
a
kind
of
a
home
run
right
there.
That's
a
perfect
area,
like
you,
said,
see
the
link
coming
in.
We
can
get
rid
of
the
grass
anyways,
it's
kind
of
a
win-win
all
the
way
around,
and
it
helps
you
locate
them
all
together.
A
B
I
You
know
the
Parks
have
be
have
created
their
own
identity
on
their
own,
but
we
just
need
to
let
people
know
about
this
and
to
me
you
know
at
one
point
we
talked
about
grouping
these
all
together
in
Francis
Stevens,
but
they
didn't.
They
felt
congested
to
me
for
there
and
they're
very
playful
and
they
sort
of
scream
kids
and
family
to
me
and
that's
why
I
thought
demuth
Park
would
be
great
for
that
and
they're.
I
F
I
Great
and
then
the
other
one
that
I
wanted
to
to
mention
was
you
know.
We
had
originally
had
another
piece
on
the
agenda
and
then
to
do
in
the
the
the
the
it's
not
really
a
park
across
from
the
convention
center
and
the
gentleman
there
was
talking
us
through
it
on
how
they're
changing
that
area
and
they've
got
some
funds
for
measure
J
and
they're
going
to
be
changing.
I
That
and
I
just
want
to
repeat
my
request
that
the
parts
commission
engaged
the
Arts
commission
when
you're
making
strategic
plans
like
this.
As
I
said
for
Sunrise
Park,
we
have
13
pieces
of
public
art
in
there
and
they're
not
all
properly
cited.
We
may
move
some
of
them
and,
as
you
make
your
strategic
changes
on
these
Parks,
you
know
please
engage
us.
The
other
one
is
Francis
Stevens
and
we'd.
Actually
again,
I
talked
about
this
at
the
Joint
Commission
and
we
want
to
start
putting
artwork
in
there.
I
That
is
very
socially
active
and
this
sort
of
dawned
on
US
during
the
time
when
the
George
Floyd
mural
happened,
downtown
and
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
public
unrest
and
the
George
Floyd
mural
went
up.
I
personally
thought
it
was
a
great
mural
and
a
terrible
location.
It
was
on
private
property
and
it
was
temporary
property,
and
so
because
it
was
put
up
using
public
Arts
funds,
the
city
could
not
maintain
it
and
the
city
could
not
remove
it
because
it
was
private
property.
I
I
You
know
there's
long-term
social
voices
of
civil
rights
and
climate
change,
and
you
know
equality,
issues
and
human
rights
issues
and
then
there's
proactive,
seasonal
ones
as
well
that
we're
considering
like
breast
cancer
awareness
month
or
Sexual
Assault,
Awareness,
Month
or
Autism
Awareness
Month,
and
then
there
is
more
immediate
ones
that
are
reactive,
for
example,
with
the
Roe
v.
Wage
change
and
a
lot
of
people
were
wanting
to
make
their
message
heard.
I
So,
as
I
said,
we
don't
have
the
anything
beyond.
This
is
a
strategy
at
this
point.
We
don't
know
how
we're
going
to
accomplish
it
and
we
don't
know
what
it
will
look
like,
but
this
is
just
what
we're
thinking.
The
reason
why
we
think
Francis
Stevens
is
appropriate
is
whenever
there's
a
rally.
It
starts
in
Francis,
Stephens
Park,
and
so
let's
give
those
people
representation
in
the
park.
A
I
A
C
Yeah
I've
got
a
comment,
just
want
to
say
I
like
the
idea
of
of
the
Arts
in
the
park
and
just
wish
hope
the
art
commission
can
work
with
us
going
forward
because
a
lot
of
times
this
has
been
really
one-sided.
It's
been
more
of
the
art
commission
coming
telling
us
what
they
want
to
see
and
then
also
the
second
thing.
I
And
and
Dieter,
thank
you,
I
I
would
put
it
back
on
you
guys
as
well
to
join
our
Arts
meetings.
You
know
it
should
be
it's
it
you're
right,
it
should
be
reciprocal.
So
come
to
the
meetings.
Our
agendas
are
posted
and
we,
you
know,
feel
free
to
engage,
we're
pretty
nice
people,
I
think
and
the
the
convention
center,
the
the
it's
not
again,
I
hate
calling
it
a
park,
but
it
is,
you
know
there.
They
do
a
lot
of
events
there
and
they're.
I
But
I
agree
with
you:
I,
don't
think
we
should
have
too
much
too
precious.
You
know
I
like
art
that
confronts
people
personally
so
I
agree
and
then
I
I,
don't
know
if
you
guys
were
at
the
last
Arch
meeting,
but
we
approved
the
full
budget
for
the
mural
at
the
James
o
Jesse
Community
Center,
so
that
will
be
moving
on
to
City
Council
next.
A
B
A
A
I
So
so,
and
I
will
now
take
this
to
my
city
staff
connection
and
he
will
present
this
and
we'll.
Let
him
know
that
you
guys
are
aware
of
this
project
and
he'll
write
everything
up
for
city,
council
and
hopefully
they'll
get
this
approved
quickly,
but
knowing
it
will
be
a
three
to
four
month
process
to
repair
move
and
do
that
as
an
aside,
that
means
that
there
will
be
an
open
spot
for
public
art
back
in
front
of
the
Arts
Community
Center,
where
the
yellow
squiggle
was
the
other
two
pieces.
I
D
I
almost
feel
as
though
we're
back
to
just
being
told,
what's
going
to
happen
rather
than
having
that
collaboration,
so
Gary
had
was
reaching
out
to
John
and
myself
for
the
a
couple
of
little
projects
and
then
I
almost
feel
as
though
we
were
just
told
what's
going
to
happen
so
I,
don't
I
don't
enjoy
that
feeling
somebody's
got
to
get
dressed
whoever's
talking.
I
could
hear
that
in
the
background
anyway.
A
D
Gary
had
asked
to
meet
with
John
and
myself
and
we
met
in
person
to
discuss
along
the
wash
there
over
in
Warm
Sands
area,
and
that
was
the
last
time
we
had
a
discussion.
That
was
quite
some
some
months
back.
I,
don't
know
if
John's
on
here
but
peaking
at
anything.
Oh
I
see
him.
Maybe
he
can
add
anything.
G
A
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
that's
something
we
all
got
to
be
thinking
about.
I
say
that
the
art
and
you
hear
they're
they're,
pushing
every
park,
has
multiple
pieces
of
art,
so
they're
trying
to
use
that
as
their
you
know
we're
working
back
and
forth
here
we've
got
to
be
mindful
of
what's
what's
where
what
how
we're
doing
it
so
with
this
being
up.
This
is
something
at
the
end.
We're
gonna
have
to
we're
going
to
have
it
talk
about
this.
A
What
everybody
thinks,
as
well
as
our
staff
I,
think
this
is
a
good
fit
for
our
park,
because
this,
these
particular
art
items
like
we
just
got
told
it's
on
reclaimed
water.
So
we
don't
even
got
to
do
the
landscape
like
we
do
all
the
other
Parks.
So
this
one
is
more
up
to
us.
If
it's
something
we'd
like
to
do
I
feel
it's
right.
It's
a
kind
of
a
great
fit
I
feel,
but
it's
up
to
the
whole
commission
as
a
whole.
A
E
A
A
This
one
is
the
re-striping
of
the
two
tennis
courts,
Ruth
Hardy
reports,
one
and
two:
it's
not
just
to
benefit
one
individual
person.
This
is
the
benefit,
as
we
say,
we're
all
inclusive
for
all,
and
this
is
for
I,
think
ITA
standards
and
some
International
tennis
Association
standards,
which
is
how
this
is
designed.
It's
to
help
youth
development
of
tennis.
This
is
not
used
for
pickleball
whatsoever
and
they
will
not
be
pickleball
courts.
They
will
still
be
100
tennis
courts.
A
We
have
a
pickleball
facility.
We
have
pickleball
courts,
so
I
hate
to
hear
how
that's
getting
misconstrued
through
the
the
masses
right
now,
but
I
want
that.
To
be
quite
clear.
This
is
not
a
pickleball
court.
These
are
just
junior
tennis
courts.
What
you
see
here
on
the
our
screen
so
we'll
be
adding
a
couple
new
Stripes
that
will
help
for
kids
little
smaller
courts.
They
can
go
lengthwise,
they
can
change
it
up
a
couple
different
ways
and
play
it.
A
F
Is
there
like
a
public
repository
where,
like
a
mission,
statement
or
FAQs
about
a
specific
project
that
the
parks
and
rec
commission
is
overseeing?
Is
there
a
place
where
people
can
go
like
the
public
can
go
to
see
this
stuff
sooner
I'm?
Just
thinking
of
what
Jerry
was
saying,
which
is,
this
has
been
a
multi-month
issue
and
people
are
coming
in
at
the
end
with
their.
You
know,
concerns
because
it's
a
you
know,
they're
public.
They
can
have
valid
concerns,
but
is
there?
F
B
F
F
Obviously
those
are
a
little
bit
lighter
and
have
a
little
bit
less
controversy,
but
I
think
this
would
be
a
great
way
to
put
this
out
more
in
the
public
so
that
maybe
the
people
who
are
sending
in
the
more
heated
or
emotionally
the
emotionally
motivated
correspondents
may
have
a
little
bit
more
time
to
look
about
what
we're
doing
so.
They
don't
feel
blindsided,
even
though
we
feel
like
you
know,
we've
given
adequate
opportunities
to
to
see
this
information
and
make
their
opinions
known
great.
G
So
I
am
a
tennis
player
and
I
can
tell
you
that
some
of
the
comments,
I
read
were
a
little
disconcerting,
to
say
the
least.
There's
no
way
that
if
you're
a
tennis
player
and
the
courts
are
re-striped
for
youth
play
that
it's
going
to
distract
you,
the
issue
really
is
the
person
who
wants.
This
is
somebody
who
teaches
lessons
and
makes
money
off
of
the
public
courts
now
I
understand
she
pays
a
fee
to
do
that,
but
I
think
that's
where
people's
problem
is
like
are
we?
A
E
I
just
wanted
to
chime
in
and
say,
I
read
through
the
emails
that
were
sent
to
Parks
and
Recreation
and
there's
nothing
covert
going
on
as
far
as
trying
to
slip
in
some
additional
pickleball
courts
just
to
Echo
what
you
had
said
a
few
moments
ago.
This
has
been
a
project.
That's
been
a
work
in
progress
for
some
time
and
it's
really
for
the
benefit
of
the
tennis
community.
E
It's
for
the
Next
Generation
it's
for
children
and
I,
don't
see
where
the
perception
is
that
this
is
really
going
to
diminish
or
take
away
from
tennis
at
all.
If
anything,
it's
expanding
upon
it
and
I
guess
I'm,
just
kind
of
surprised
at
this
stage
of
the
game
presentation
was
done
quite
a
while
back
where
this
idea
was
put
forth.
E
We
had
a
discussion,
we've
done
assessment,
we've
done
analysis,
and
now
it's
so
late,
ready
to
take
the
next
giant
stuff,
but
the
project
and
all
of
a
sudden
it's
well.
Of
course
people
are
entitled
to
their
opinion,
but
there's
a
lot
of
hostility
coming
forward
and
it
seems
to
somehow
be
linked
into
typical
and
really
this
entity
this
project.
E
Certainly
I'm,
understanding
having
lived
in
the
community
for
a
number
of
years
that
many
people
from
across
the
U.S
and
from
other
countries,
come
to
our
area
to
take
part
and
participate
and
enjoy
the
wonderful
wintertime
weather
that
we
have
and
to
play
tennis
and
not
sound
like
a
broken
record.
But
if
anything,
this
will
enhance
tennis
and
it'll
be
for
the
benefit
of
children
and
the
points
of
the
other
Commissioners
they're,
all
well
taken
and
I'm
going
to
court
with
them.
A
F
Thank
you
and
I
think
Michael
has
his
hand
up.
My
question
is
really
short.
Is
there
a
way
that
we
could
basically
distill
the
concern
that
this
is
basically
Public
Funding
for
privatized
interest
by
putting
into
the
curriculum
for
youth
with
the
parks
and
recs
commission
for
the
parking
programs,
youth,
tennis,
lessons
like
the
way
that
they
have
talk,
dancing
lessons
and
things
like
that?
I,
don't
know
Yvonne
if
that's
an
option
but
just
trying
to
capitalize
on
the
the
fact
that
there
would
be
specific
striping
that
would
benefit
children.
F
Maybe
we
can
add
a
program
or
several
programs,
even
in
the
the
the
winner
program
or
the
summer
programs
just
to
legitimize,
because
I
I
agree
with
what
everyone
has
been
saying.
I
think
there
is
a
compelling
public
interest
for
being
able
to
show
children
how
to
play
this
sport,
but
maybe
having
receipts
to
show
that
would
put
some
of
these
people's
minds
at
ease
that
this
is
just
Public
Funding
being
used
for
a
private
purpose.
A
B
C
Yeah
I'm
gonna
say
the
same
thing
as
I've
been
saying
over
and
over
I.
Don't
understand
why
Ruth
Hardy
is
exclusively
for
tennis.
How
can
we
be
a
city
that
Prides
ourselves
on
inclusion
and
diversity,
but
only
when
it
fits
certain
people's
agendas
like
I
I,
just
don't
get
that
we
should
make
all
the
courts
multi-purpose
with
pickleball
lines
and
Tennis
lines.
The
gym
at
James,
o
Jesse
is
currently
used
for
pickleball
and
Tennis
we've
been
using
it
for
60
for
30
years
for
basketball.
C
D
We've
requested
that
several
times
that
is
theater
what
Dieter
just
stated
we
have
I
know.
I
personally
have
stated
that
more
than
one
time
about
these
courts,
they
do
it
in
the
gyms,
where
the
kids
play
high
school
sports
or
all
they're
they're
marked
for
every
sport
on
the
floor
and
the
kids
manage
to
figure
it
out.
A
G
It's
fine
part
of
the
I
think
why
the
tennis
players
at
Ruth
party
are
upset
and
trust
me
I
play
tennis
there
right
so
I'm
aware
of
what's
Happening
is
because
years
ago
we
said
we
were
going
to
make
Ruth
Hardy
for
tennis
and
demuth
for
pickleball.
Here's
the
big
difference
right.
So
some
of
the
tennis
people
are
a
little
less
welcoming,
let's
say
right,
I'm
trying
to
be
as
PC
as
I
can
here.
G
So
they
are
a
little
less
welcoming,
but
also
if
you
are
a
true
like
tennis
player,
the
net
height
of
a
tennis
court
and
a
pickleball
court
is
not
the
same.
So
when
you
have
a
place
like
Ruth
Hardy,
that
means
you
have
to
then
change
the
net.
And
so
then
what
are
you
going
to
do
if
you're,
a
pickleball
player,
are
you
going
to
go
in
change
the
net
height
and
when
you
leave,
are
you
going
to
change
it
back
to
tennis,
or
are
you
going
to
tell
the
tennis
players
to
do
that?
G
So
I
think
that's
part
of
why
there's
this
lack
of
camaraderie?
If
you
will
I
completely
understand
with
all
of
you,
because
I
I
actually
do
play
both
tennis
and
pickleball,
so
I'm
I'm
in
I'm
with
you
that
it
should
be
all
inclusive
but
I
I
get.
Why
there's
a
a
disconnect
there
I
just
I,
don't
know
what
the
messaging
needs
to
be.
It
probably
needs
to
be
something
like
can't.
We
all
share
the
public
facilities.
G
I
mean
that's
kind
of
the
reason
for
public
parks
and
recreation
right,
yep,
I,
don't
know
how
you
get
that
out
there
to
this
tennis.
Community
I
I
know
that
they
are
vocal
and,
like
I
said
not
always
accommodating
to
everybody
else.
That's
that's
the
best
way.
I
can
say
it
and
I
do
play
there.
So
I
I
see
it.
A
A
It's
more
of
a
discussion,
I
mean
this
is
just
we've
got
it
approved
through
City
Hall.
We
I
mean
she's,
taken
all
the
steps
she's
gone
above
and
beyond
gotten
pricing
approached
us
came
to
the
meetings
I
mean
at
this
point:
I'm
I'm
100,
for
it,
because
we've
asked
for
multiple
things.
She
has
come
to
meetings.
She
has
gone
above
and
beyond,
proving
that
it
is
a
needed
aspect.
We
need
here
in
the
city
and
I
feel
as
a
Parks
and
Recreation,
especially
you
know
we're
not
the
same
city.
A
We
were
five
years
ago
in
essentially
we
were
three
years
ago,
we're
always
changing
evolving.
You
know
we're
getting
ready
to
build
a
couple
million
dollar
pickleball
facility
nobody's
getting
left
out,
we're
always
changing
so
once
the
demand
gets
there
we'll
address
it.
I
mean
that's
get
involved
with
your
your
civic
duty,
I
mean
come
volunteer
for
a
commission
people
I
mean
you
guys
want
to
help
change,
come
involved
with
the
commission,
that's
what
it
comes
down
to
so
for
this
I'm
not
trying
to
be
rude
or
mean
here.
What
does
everybody
think
about
this?
A
G
A
Thank
you,
sir.
All
right.
Well,
I'm
not
trying
to
bulldoze
everybody
you're
trying
to
get
this
done,
but
I'm
trying
to
move
the
meeting
along.
So
at
this
point,
I
think
as
a
commission,
we
all
fullheartedly
agree
with
this
one
and
then,
like
I,
said
she's
done
the
footwork
she's
done
the
steps
I'll
take
the
full
blame
from
the
community
for
this
one.
They
get
mad
come
yell
at
me.
All
you
want
I'll,
take
it
and
let's
get
this
done.
C
A
Hopefully,
when
we
get
a
new
representative
or
we
have
somebody
that
we
can
communicate
with
I
might
even
just
reach
out
to
Ellen
and
find
out,
you
know,
because
there
is
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
Courts
right
there
I
know
exactly
the
ones
you're
talking
about.
You
know
it'd
be
nice.
If
we
can
have
that
Mutual
benefit,
we
they
use
they.
You
know
working
back
and
forth
with
each
other.
You
know
if
there
ever
is
a
need
of
more
tennis
courts.
That
would
be
a
great
solution.
Honestly.
A
A
A
A
A
So
with
that
being
said,
our
next
thing
is
action
item.
We
got
to
select
some
ad
hoc
committees,
we
have
a
We've
we've
met
and
we've
tried
to
streamline
and
get
our
ad
hoc
committees
down
to
a
point
where
something
we
have
what's
coming
up
in
the
future,
not
just
stagnant
we're
trying
to
have
ones.
That'll
continue,
working
together
and
move
forward,
not
to
be
left
out
or
have
no
opinion.
So
we
really
want
to
focus
on
these
different
commission
error.
Ad
hoc
committees.
We
have
our
Art
in
the
Park
right
now.
A
A
Do
you
two
want
to
stay
on
the
art?
Commission,
I'm?
Sorry,
I'm,
not
trying
to
be
disrespectful.
I
know
you
guys
didn't
get
brought
into
this
last
conversation.
I
was
kind
of
blindsided
by
it
as
well,
but
this
is
something
you
guys
can
definitely
work
with
the
art,
commission
and
City
staff
on
and
that's
our
biggest
thing
is.
We
want
to
report
back
to
City
staff
and
all
be
on
the
same
page
with
what's
going
on
and
how
we're
trying
to
move
stuff
forward.
B
A
So
we're
looking
for
some
volunteers,
you
know,
and
we
can.
We
can
work
this
out
pretty
smartly
too.
If
we
can
think
about
this,
everybody
as
well
like
landscape
conversion,
you
know
from
measure
J
I
tried
getting
a
walking
path
in
around
joj.
We
weren't
able
to
get
it
but
hey.
Now
we
got
to
do
landscape
conversion.
What
if
we
can
squeeze
that
in
somehow
to
get
that
worked
in?
You
know
so,
just
little
things,
little
forethought
I'd
like
to
get
two
Commissioners
on
each
ad
hoc
committee.
A
F
E
A
A
G
I'm
already
on
the
dog
park,
so
I'll
stay
on
the
dog
park,
because
it's
important
to
me
I
would
love
to
be
a
part
of
the
master
plan.
I,
certainly
don't
want
to
be
part
of
the
pickleball,
because
the
tent,
my
tennis
buddies,
will
hate
me
even
though
I
do
also
play
Pickleball,
but
how
many
people
do
you
want
for
each.
A
One
that
needs
more
yeah.
The
master
plan
is
large.
You
know
Park
enhancements,
everybody
can
really
be
on
because
that's
something
where
you're
just
looking
at
your
day-to-day
part.
What
are
we
doing
to
try
to
improve
our
parks
and
the
landscape?
Conversion
needs
to
be
people
that
are
willing
to
hit
the
ground
running,
because
this
is
going
to
be
a
couple
meetings
per
month.
You
know
for
over
the
next
I
would
say
a
couple
months
to
get
this
going,
so
we
can
have
it
done
Council
in
time,
gotcha.
A
A
A
A
A
A
You
know
a
lot
of
back
and
forth,
especially
with
season
coming
in
we're
going
to
have
a
lot
of
opinions,
and
it's
going
to
have
a
quite
a
few
meetings
there.
So
does
that
strike,
anybody's
fan,
I'm,
sorry,
I
see
Dieter
and
Michael
both
ever
had
if
I
apologize,
guys
like
I,
said
I'm
having
to
scroll
through
and
find
the
hands.
C
A
A
A
F
A
B
A

A

E
A

There's
been
various
discussions
with
regard
to
signage
and
where
we're
going
with
that
in
a
futuristic
sense
and
those
on
the
committee
have
submitted
ideas
which
have
been
sent
to
Yvonne's
office
for
review
and
assessment.
Just
to
give
us
a
perspective
on
where
we're
going
with
signage.
There's
been
previous
discussions
with
regard
to
need
for
windshields
entrance
rate
safety,
and
we
also
discussed
Financial
components
and
developments
with
an
eye
toward
funding.
E
That's
been
secured
and
with
an
eye
toward
2023
and
2024
and
where
we're
looking
to
go
as
we
slowly
step
by
step,
make
progress
in
creating
enhancements
for
the
pickleball
community.
So
that's
a
very
quick
summation
and
certainly
if
Yvonne
or
others
want
to
share
that,
please
do,
but
that's
just
a
quick
update
on
what's
happening
with
pickleball
ad
hoc
and,
as
I
said,
we'll
be
having
another
meeting
on
Wednesday
of
this
week
for
further
developments
on
that
agenda.
A
A
C
C
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
we
do
have
events
in
our
Park
family
gatherings,
birthdays,
Church,
Strokes,
used
to
park.
We
had
our
juneteen
celebration
there.
We
also
have
Borrego
Health
with
the
mobile
clinic
and
Fine
Food
Bank.
So
I
just
want
to
point
that
out
to
make
sure
that
that
whoever's
on
that
ad
hoc
committee,
that
we
don't
forget
about
some
of
the
other
Parks
as
well,
all
of
our
Parks
weren't
listed
on
there
and
then
also
the
youth
football
that
practices
at
baristo
field.
C
It
was
brought
to
my
attention
that
they
relocated
to
demuth
for
over
seeding
and
once
again
they're
practicing
on
a
baseball
field
in
their
football.
So
I
don't
know
why
pickleball
and
Tennis
can't
share,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
communicating
with
the
groups
about
overseeding,
because
the
football
group
stated
that
they
weren't
informed
until
the
week
prior
that
they
had
to
relocate
and
they've
been
practicing
there
since
early
August
or
July.
So
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
communicating
with
all
those
groups.
