Good
evening,
I
hereby
call
the
Palm
Springs
regular
city
council
meeting
of
January
12
2023.
To
order
tonight
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance
will
be
led
by
Ali.
Seaward
Ali
is
a
senior
at
Palm
Springs,

School,
and
the
president
of
both
the
future
Business
Leaders
of
America
and
the
Academy
of
business
leadership
and
Entrepreneurship.
Please
stand
and
join
Ali
in
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance.
D
C
C
Thank
you.
So
we
are
conducting
a
virtual
meeting
tonight
due
to
a
covet
exposure,
but
the
next
council
meeting
will
be
held
in
person
at
this
time.
I'd
like
to
call
on
council
member
Middleton
to
provide
us
a
much
needed
update
on
the
state
of
Indian,
Canyon,
genotree
and
vistachino
Roads
councilmember.
F
There
are
only
seven
routes
into
and
out
of,
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
and
three
of
those
routes
go
through
the
white
water
wash
and
they
go
through
at
essentially
ground
level,
with
both
Gene
Autry
and
with
Indian
Canyon.
We
have
some
very
severe
restrictions
on
what
we
can
do,
because
it
is
a
habitat
for
the
Casey's
tune
Beetle
now
that
does
not
mean
we
can't
do
anything
and
we
are
trying
to
do
a
number
of
issues
and
we
have
been
working
on
them
for
some
time,
but
I
am
particularly
pleased
about.
F
How
could
we
mitigate
better
the
kinds
of
impacts
that
we're
having
what
we
were
looking
at
with
Gene
Autry
and
with
Indian
Canyon
was
two
Bridge
projects,
both
of
which
follow
traditional
Bridge
architecture.
It
is
nearly
a
mile
of
wash
that
hat
would
have
to
be
covered
by
those
those
Bridge
projects
and
the
estimates
that
we
had
approached
300
million
dollars
per
Bridge,
and
that
was
some
old
numbers
if
we
were
to
revisit
those
numbers
today.
F
We're
probably
looking
at
something
close
to
350
million
dollars
to
build
the
kind
of
bridges
that
are
traditionally
built.
What
we
recognized
is
we
had
gone
decades
without
getting
the
federal
funding
that
is
needed
for
those
kinds
of
bridges,
and
particularly
looking
back
at
previous
Federal
Administration.
There
was
very
little
hope
that
we
were
going
to
see
the
kind
of
funding
that
we
needed.
F
And
let
me
just
digress
for
a
moment.
There
are
tremendous
inconveniences
that
are
associated
whenever
we
have
to
shut
down
those
roadways,
but
for
those
individuals
living
north
of
the
freeway,
when
those
roadways
at
Indian,
Canyon
and
Gene
Autry
are
closed
and
they
need
to
take
an
ambulance
to
get
to
Desert
Regional
Hospital.
The
amount
of
time
that
it
can
take
for
that
ambulance
is
sometimes
as
much
as
three
times
it
would
otherwise
be.
F
We
could
solve
the
issue
of
Indian
Canyon
to
solve
the
both
Indian
Canyon
and
Gene
Autry
were
looking
at
something
closer
to
80
to
90
million
dollars,
but
that
compared
to
the
700
million
dollar
estimates.
We're
looking
at
for
traditional
Bridges
is
an
incredible
Improvement
in
the
federal
government
has
passed
an
infrastructure
Bill.
There
is
funding,
that's
being
put
together
for
projects
such
as
these.
F
In
California,
the
governor
appointed
former
Los
Angeles
mayor,
Antonio,
Villa
ragosa,
to
be
his
infrastructure
Czar
to
go
around
the
state
to
tour
and
to
identify
the
most
critical
projects
on
behalf
of
Coachella
Valley
I
met
privately
with
mayor
via
ragosa
in
September.
In
December
he
came
to
Palm
Springs
City,
all
to
the
Coachella
Valley.
He
toured
the
areas
that
we
were
identifying
and
specifically
along
with
mayor
Garner.
F
Bridging
projects
that
we're
talking
about
that
letter
is
on
the
governor's
desk
and
we're
hopeful
that
we
will
get
the
support
of
the
governor.
What
we
know
is
because
of
the
catastrophic
damage
that
has
occurred
throughout
California
because
of
these
storms.
The
competition
for
funding
is
going
to
be
intense
and
we
are
going
to
do
everything
that
we
can
here
in
Palm
Springs,
the
Coachella
Valley
and
the
Riverside
County
Transportation
Commission,
to
make
sure
that
we
get
the
funding
that
we
need
for
the
projects
here
in
our
community
for
Vista
Chino.
F
We
already
have
Federal
funding.
There
is
a
project
that
is
in
design
stage
right
now.
The
design
work
is
50
completed.
So
we
are
on
track
to
bridge
Vista
Chino,
it's
a
much
smaller
bridge
that
has
to
be
built.
There's
95
million
dollars
in
funding
for
bridging
Vista
Chino
Ramon
will
be
widened
at
the
wash.
We
had
some
delays
to
to
issues
about
acquiring
all
of
the
land
that
we
needed
to
complete
that
project
that
has
been
resolved
and
we're
moving
forward.
F
The
left
turn
from
Tipton
Road
on
to
South
Palm
can
South
111
is
a
very
dangerous
turn
that
people
have
to
make
I
encourage
people,
even
though
it
takes
a
little
bit
longer
to
go
over
to
111
and
come
down
that
route.
But
I
did
meet
yesterday
personally
with
the
district
director
for
Caltrans
for
San,
Bernardino
and
Riverside
County,
to
talk
specifically
about
Tipton
Road
and
the
dangers
that
are
there.
F
F
C
Thank
you
so
much
councilmember
Middleton
you've
been
giving
so
much
attention
to
this
issue
for
many
years
now.
We
truly
appreciate
all
of
the
efforts
that
you've
made
on
behalf
of
our
city.
Thank
you.
So
our
next
item
is
acceptance
of
the
agenda.
The
city
council
will
discuss
the
order
of
the
agenda.
May
amend
the
order,
add
urgency,
items,
note,
abstentions
or
no
votes
on
consent,
calendar
items
or
request,
consent
out
consent,
calendar
items
be
removed
for
a
separate
discussion.
I
would
like
to
entertain
a
motion
for
acceptance
of
the
agenda.
F
C
C
H
J
A
vote
mayor
before
we
call
the
vote
if
I
could
just
make
a
correction
on
item
1f.
That
is
absolutely
thank
you
so
much
the
purchase
of
turnout
gear
for
the
fire
department,
the
amount
of
the
purchase
Remains,
the
Same.
It's
just
a
change
in
the
distribution
of
funding
so
fund,
one
hundred
six
thousand
five
zero
zero.
Three
five
will
be
92
210
and
the
other
fund
will
be
twenty
five
thousand
five
hundred
same
amount.
Just
distribution
for
the
record
wanted
to
note
that.
Thank
you.
H
K
C
Thank
you.
The
next
item
is
public
testimony.
This
time
has
been
set
aside
for
members
of
the
public
to
address
the
city
council
on
non-public,
hearing
non-public,
hearing
agenda
items.
Only
two
minutes
will
be
assigned
to
each
speaker.
You
are
asked
to
please
begin
your
time
by
telling
us
what
agenda
item
or
items
you
are
speaking
about.
Please
note
that
testimony
for
public
hearings
will
be
taken
at
the
time
of
the
public
hearing
and
general
public
comment
for
subjects
not
on
the
agenda
will
be
taken
later
in
the
evening
city
clerk.
L
Michael
Joseph
Pitkin
regarding
all
allocations
and
grants,
I
ask
that
every
Palm,
Springs
City
Council
allocation
have
a
legal
Clause
that
no
funding
can
be
spent
promoting
any
variation
of
a
hardcore,
hip-hop
or
gangster
rap
speech.
New
Gavin
Newsom
law
requires
any
and
all
sexting
or
adult
pictures
or
languages
can't
be
emailed
text
or
other
electronic
delivery
unless
both
parties
consent.
As
this
body
supports
Boys
and
Girls
Club
I
went
to
indio's
site
Thanksgiving.
There
were
three
teams
playing
soccer,
one
adult
and
two
teams
of
10
to
13
year
olds.
L
The
children
took
a
huge
speaker
out
on
the
field
and
played
explicit
hardcore.
Hip-Hop
gangster
rap
music,
lyrics
and
I
quote,
was
blasting
across
the
entire
city
of
India.
Raptors,
say
appropriation
by
black
youth
transforms
it
into
a
positive
appellation.
I
support
any
consenting
adult
activity
in
the
privacy
of
one
own
home
I
do
not
support
nor
consent
to
adults
and
government
bodies,
appropriating
funding
to
promote
using
explicit
word
porn
with
children
and
explicit
gang
speech
in
the
general
public
spaces.
The
music
industry
needs
to
advance
Humanity
by
self-regulating
itself.
L
Such
explicit
adult
music
lyrics
should
be
federally
regulated
for
ages,
21
plus,
like
all
vices,
that
impact
the
six
senses,
sight,
taste,
smell,
hearing
touch
and
the
power
of
perception
or
the
spirit.
Black
Hispanic
and
Indigenous
gangs
can
speak
explicit,
hardcore
hip-hop,
Mafia,
subrat,
gangster
rap
and
Mark
Narco
speech
to
whites.
But
the
moment
a
white
speaks
the
same
in
return,
they
are
threatened.
This
is
a
double
standard.
This
is
not
political
statement
of
artistic
equity
and
racial
Justice.
African-American
American
Pennsylvania
see
Dolores
Tucker
called
this
music
genre
sexually
explicit
and
Mrs.
M
I'm
not
sure
which
screens
look
at
hi
everybody
out
there
up
there
David
feltman
Palm
Springs.
My
comments
are
going
to
be
a
little
more
dull.
Sorry
I
am
here
to
speak
about
item
3A,
which
is
about
the
Committees,
the
subcommittees
and
all
of
that
I'm,
hoping
that,
at
the
end
of
my
comments,
two
of
you
will
leap
to
your
feet
and
volunteer
for
what
I'm
going
to
suggest
and
that
is
I
was
looking
at
this
extensive
spreadsheet
and
hoping
that
I
would
see
a
Committee
on
Public,
Works
and
capital
projects.
M
This
is
something
that
I've
spent
some
time
in
the
last
month
or
so
having
conversations
with
I
would
just
say
a
range
of
civically
involved
people
and
to
a
person.
I
would
say
it's
accurate
to
say
that
accessibility
to
information
about
the
status
of
the
expenditures
on
capital
projects
in
particular,
is
not
really
there.
I
looked
at
the
budget
again
today.
M
It's
for
capital
projects
alone;
it's
88
million
million
dollars
a
significant
amount
of
money
for
our
city
for
things
that
our
citizens
and
our
tourists
touch
feel
and
hear
and
see
every
day,
I'm
hoping
that
you
will
add
a
standing
committee
that
will
create
that
oversight
and
transparency
that
will
be
really
important
to
moving
these
projects
forward
in
a
way
that
everybody
can
understand
the
the
what's
actually
happening
with
the
expenditure
of
of
these
funds.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Today
we
offer
our
reluctant
support
for
the
temporary
expansion
of
the
access
center
as
an
emergency
overnight
shelter
during
January
and
February.
We
all
agree
that
unhoused
people
need
a
safe
place
to
sleep
that
is
warm
in
the
winter
and
cool
in
the
summer.
Our
support
is
conditional
because
the
access
center
was
presented
to
the
public
as
being
a
daytime
drop-in
center,
not
an
overnight
shelter.
A
A
A
N
Yes,
okay,
thank
you.
Well,
it
is
exactly
as
the
title
would
make
you
think
asphalt.
Art
is
creating
artwork
on
street
services
and
there
are
examples
of
asphalt
art
in
the
staff
report
on
pages
four
through
six
and
the
proposed
locations
for
this
particular
asphalt.
Art
project
are
in
front
of
the
James
o
Jesse
Highland
Unity
center
and
the
final
location
is
intended
to
be
selected
in
conjunction
with
the
desert.
N
Highlands
Community,
the
desert,
Highlands
Gateway
Estates
community
action
Association
for
our
recommendation
to
the
city
council
and
the
public
Arts
commission
is
requesting
approval
to
fund
and
asphalt
art
project
in
the
amount
of
twenty
thousand
dollars.
So
with
the
public
Arts
funds,
it
is
a
little
different.
N
G
I
just
have
the
reasons
I
post
it
so
first
of
all,
I
just
want
to
clarify
I
get
a
question
a
lot
that
the
public
Arts
money
is
from
developers
and
earmarked
for
public
Arts,
so
it
can't
be
used
for
other
things
and
I
love
this
project,
I
love
public
art.
So
what
I?
What
I
wanted
to
do
mention
is
that
we
had
a
couple
asphalt
street
art
projects.
N
Yes,
we
can
include
that
in
the
call
for
artists
to
use
the
more
durable
paints
or
materials
examples
of
that
are
commercial
grade,
driveway
paint,
which
is
shown
to
have
a
life
expectancy
of
three
years.
Acrylic
traffic
paint
seems
to
be
mixed
between
one
and
three
years
and
thermoplastics
are
tend
to
be
the
longest
lasting
materials,
but
the
process
is
a
little
more
complicated
as
it
requires
a
shaving
off
a
portion
of
the
street
and
then
inlaying
the
thermal
Plastics
into
that
portion.
N
I
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
and
thank
you
to
Mayor
Pro
tem
for
bringing
up
that
important.
Point,
really
appreciate
that
I
think
it's
really
important
to
consider
I'd.
Also
to
that
point,
love
to
have
staff,
consider
I'm,
not
sure
if
it's
the
artist's
job
but
like
a
maintenance
plan
right
like
what
making
sure
it's
included.
What
is
the
timeline
for
this
and
what's
the
maintenance
plan
so
that
it
doesn't
start
to
look
like
some
of
our
rainbow
crosswalks
have
unfortunately
deteriorated
it.
I
H
Yep,
mayor
of
the
I'd
like
to
make
sure
that
that
it's
not
a
recommendation
of
materials,
but
something
that
is
as
durable
as
the
thermoplastics
are
better
is
used.
You
know,
even
though
the
rainbow
Crossings
were
intended
to
be
temporary
and
not
last
well
beyond
the
pride
events.
This
is
a
piece
of
art
that
is
intended
to
last
several
years,
so
I
think
we
we
need
to
make
that
as
a
a
requirement
that
the
material
used
to
to
make
the
project
is
going
to
be
that
thermoplastic
or
better.
C
B
C
G
B
B
F
C
C
N
It
is
cold
and
wet
outside
and
we
do
know
that
the
County
of
Riverside
is
operating
11,
Emergency
Shelters
throughout
the
county,
but
only
three
are
in
the
Coachella
Valley,
and
none
of
them
are
very
close
to
Palm
Springs
and
addressing
these
conditions,
staff
work
with
Martha's,
Village
and
kitchen
to
expand
the
agreement
we
have
at
the
access
center
and
to
include
temporary
overnight
shelter
for
approximately
15
individuals,
seven
days
a
night
a
week,
and
so
this
request
is
to
increase
their
contract
by
105
484
dollars.
So
they
could
operate.
N
I
Holstich,
thank
you,
madam
mayor,
and
thank
you
to
City
staff
for
bringing
this
forward
and
ensuring
that
we
filled
the
gaps
left
over
by
the
county
for
not
providing
emergency
shelter
overnight,
shelter
near
or
even
accessible
from
the
city
of
Palm
Springs,
so
really
appreciate
staff
and
Martha's,
Village
and
kitchen
again
and
again
stepping
up
to
do
the
hard
work
to
provide
for
our
unsheltered
residents.
So
thank
you
to
all
of
our
residents
who
emailed
in
and
asked
for
this.
Thank
you
for
that
pressure
and
for
staff
for
executing
it.
I
N
Yes,
this
location
had
previously
been
used
as
an
emergency
overnight
shelter
and
was
operated
by
Coachella
Valley
Rescue
Mission,
and
this
was
in
late
2019
early
2020.
But
when
covid
came
around
the
site
was
a
little
too
small
to
serve
the
30
to
40
clients
that
Coachella
Valley
Rescue
Mission
was
seeing
each
night,
and
so
the
operations
were
then
moved
over
to
the
I
believe
was
the
Palm
Springs
High
School
at
the
time
which
they
were
able
to
utilize
the
gymnasium
there,
which
had
more
space
to
spread
out.
I
Jay,
do
you
think
that's
enough
or
how
was
that
number
picked?
Is
there
a
way
to
provide
more
funding
to
be
able
to
house
more
individuals?
How
do
we
better
address
the
need,
or
are
people
being
you
know,
coming
in
and
then
being
directed
to
Martha's
and
their
other
shelters
and
services
and
I'm
also
interested
in
if
people
are
being
directed
into
housing
from
that
location,.
N
I
I
C
L
C
Thank
you
so
much.
We
are
now
moving
on
to
our
public
hearings.
The
next
item
is
item
2A,
a
public
hearing
for
a
proposed
ordinance
or
post-ordinances
adopting
and
amending
the
2022
California
building
standards
code,
the
2022
California
fire
code,
the
2022
California
building
code,
residential
code,
plumbing
code,
Mechanical
Code,
electrical
code,
Green
Building
standards,
code,
energy
code
and
existing
building
code,
historical
building
code
and
international
property
maintenance
code.
That's
quite
a
few!
Can
we
please
have
a
staff
report.
O
However,
local
municipalities
are
given
the
opportunity
to
impose
more
restrictive
standards
where
it
might
be
necessary,
based
on
local
conditions,
where
we
do
adopt
alternate
standards
or
more
restrictive
standards.
We
include
them
in
future
updates
as
well.
So,
for
example,
in
2019,
we
had
a
number
of
amendments
to
the
2019
code
relative
to
requiring
air
conditioning
for
all
residential,
as
well
as
standards
for
our
Wildfire
risk
areas
in
the
Hills
surrounding
our
residential
development.
O
Those
amendments
that
were
adopted
in
2019
are
carried
forward
for
this
cycle
as
well.
The
only
amendments
that
we're
proposing
this
year
are
relative
to
the
fire
code,
and
one
of
the
things
that
is
being
proposed
is
that
we
require
strobe
switches
and
Knox
electric
switches
for
developments
that
have
automated
vehicle
Gates.
This
is
being
adopted
to
improve
Public
Safety,
to
cut
down
response
times
to
those
developments
or
those
commercial
properties
that
do
have
vehicular
Gates,
and
so
that
is
the
only
amendment
that
we're
proposing
with
this
cycle.
O
There
are
some
future
actions
that
we
hope
to
bring
forward
in
the
first
quarter
of
2023..
One
of
the
things
that
we've
had
come
up
recently
is
questions
about
our
waiver
process
for
Greece
interceptors
that
are
typically
required
for
restaurants.
What
we'll
be
bringing
forward
is
procedures
and
criteria
that
staff
may
consider
when
we
receive
requests
from
the
requirement
for
a
grease
interceptor.
O
In
addition,
the
sustainability
commission
has
been
working
on
reach
codes
and
by
using
the
term
reach
code.
What
that
means
is
more
restrictive
requirements
for
commercial
new
construction
and
for
residential
buildings
that
were
built
before
2011.,
the
intent
of
bringing
forward
these
codes
is
to
increase
our
Energy
Efficiency
here
in
the
city
of
Palm
Springs,
and
to
help
us
meet
our
sustainability
goals
relative
to
Kerman
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
and
so
these
are
three
things
that
we
anticipate:
bringing
forward
to
the
city
council
very
quickly.
That
will
augment
our
building
code.
Update
that
we're.
O
Considering
this
evening
at
the
city
council
meeting
on
December,
the
5th
city
council
requested
that
we
put
forth
additional
notification
about
the
updates
to
the
building
code.
Building
and
safety
department
has
prepared
a
web
page
with
information
on
the
update
that
we're
just
getting
ready
to
launch
and
then
also
we've
prepared
a
letter
that
we
will
send
to
housing
providers,
as
well
as
housing
agencies
relative
to
our
local
Amendment,
for
the
provision
of
air
conditioning
for
our
residential
units,
something
that's
very
important
for
our
residents,
especially
those
who
are
in
our
affordable
housing
projects.
O
And
so
with
that
we
are
carrying
forward
with
the
direction
that
was
provided
by
city
council
at
the
December
5th
meeting
with
that.
That
concludes
my
presentation
to
you.
Staff
is
here
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
This
is
a
public
hearing,
and
so
we
will
invite
public
testimony.
I
just
want
to
note
that
we
have
Jason
Loya
our
acting
Fire
Chief
and
Taylor
Teeple,
our
fire
marshal.
Who
worked
on
these
amendments
here
in
the
audience
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have
with
that
Madame
mayor
I
turn
that
back
to
you.
C
C
C
C
G
Yeah
well,
I
do
want
to
say
I
know
our
a
lot
of
the
building.
Community
funds
are
finds
the
codes
very
difficult
and
in
the
process
in
Palm
Springs,
but
so
I
recognize
that
we
have
to
work
to
make
it
easier.
But
when
we
talk
about
what's
coming
back
with
the
energy
reach
codes
and
the
grease
trap,
what
I
wanted
to
look
at
was
for
existing
commercial
properties
as
well
as
existing
residential
and
also
I
know.
G
C
Okay,
I
do
actually
have
a
question
for
you
Flynn
now
that
I
think
about
it
for
the
for
the
grease
interceptors.
Can
you
just
give
the
public
a
little
bit
more
information
about
that
waiver
process
and
I
think
the
what
came
up
most
recently
was
the
size
of
them.
So
can
you
talk
about
the
changes
there.
O
What
it
does
is
it
helps
to
preserve
our
water
system
and
our
sewage
system
by
having
the
grease
interceptors,
the
requirements
have
become
more
stringent
so
that,
in
addition
to
restaurants,
even
facilities
such
as
coffee
shops,
like
Starbucks,
for
example,
have
been
required
to
provide
grease
interceptors,
even
though
the
small
amount
of
fats,
oil
and
greases
that
they
have
are
relatively
minimal
compared
to
a
restaurant.
There
has
typically
been
a
process
for
waivers
from
these
requirements
based
on
the
specific
menu
of
a
restaurant
or
coffee
shop.
O
However,
it's
not
codified,
and
so
it
is
just
based
on
the
review
by
our
building
official,
and
so
what
we'd
like
to
do
is
to
make
the
process
more
predictable
and
have
criteria
that
businesses
would
then
be
able
to
evaluate
whether
or
not
whether
or
not
a
grease
Interceptor
has
been
required.
As
you're
aware,
there
have
been
a
couple
of
articles
in
the
newspaper
about
businesses
that
were
required
to
provide
grease,
interceptors
and
confusion
over
that
requirement
and
requests
for
waivers.
C
B
L
E
C
E
Honorable
mayor
and
council
member,
the
review
is
to
make
appointments
to
city
council
subcommittees
City
representatives
to
projects
liaison
to
City
commissions
and
boards
and
representative
to
external
organization.
At
this
time,
the
staff
is
requesting
that
you
review
the
roster
and
please
indicate
of
the
subcommittee's
liaison
ad
hoc
or
standing
committees,
have
completed
their
work
and
may
be
removed
from
the
roster.
In
addition,
please
note
that
if
the
hawk
commit
subcommittee
is
reauthorized,
Staff
will
set
a
one-year
expiration
date
unless
otherwise
directed
by
the
council.
E
We
have
noticed
that,
on
this
report,
you'll
find
some
of
the
Committees.
We
did
just
a
just
a
total
listing
of
all
committees.
Some
of
them
have
not,
you
know,
they've
been
removed,
so
we're
just
waiting
on
some
directions
from
you
to
kind
of
update
this
list.
So
it
is
it's
lengthy
and
it's
thorough,
but
we
we
do
want
to
get
your
input
and
with
your
directions
we
will
resubmit
a
updated
list.
C
Thank
you
so
much
city
clerk,
so
I'm
going
to
give
a
little
bit
of
context
to
this
for
new
council
members
and
to
remind
all
of
us
about
what
we
decided
in
the
past.
In
the
past,
we
we
did
away
with
subcommittee
I'm,
sorry
with
many
of
our
subcommittees
and
with
Liaisons
two
commissions,
because
that
process
was
not
working
for
us
now.
If
this
Council
wants
to
address
those
again,
we
can
I
also
sent
around
recommendations
based
on
how
everyone
ranked
their
their
interest
in
external
commissions
and
what
I
thought
might
work
for.
B
C
And
for
the
public,
the
Coachella
Valley
Economic
partnership
does
not
have
a
second
listed
at
this
moment,
so
council.
Is
there
any
objection
to
council
member
to
Hart
being
listed
as
the
second
okay
and
then
the
next
one
part
of
me
for
this
sun
line,
and
that
also
does
not
have
anyone
listed?
Does
council
have
any
objection?
I
C
I
I
H
I
C
Just
to
make
a
note
here,
there's
a
couple
of
blank
spots:
the
Eastern
Riverside
County,
interoperable
communications.
Authority
does
not
have
a
representative.
Those
meetings
are
at
the
second
Thursday
at
4
pm,
I'm,
not
sure
which
council
member
previously
had
that
position,
but
are
those
meetings
remote?
Does
anyone
know.
C
I
I
To
the
committee
and
the
community
I
was
out
of
the
office
and
wasn't
able
to
do
my
responses
and
just
to
note
for
their
record.
My
responses
are
not
my
responses.
I
think
staff
noted
them
in
the
staff
report,
which
is
public
just
what
I
was
previously.
So
even
there's
like
I'm,
currently
we're
accused
on
vacation
rentals
there's
a
one
on
vacation
rental.
I
didn't
do
that
if
we
could
correct
that-
and
it's
always
awkward
when
we
publish
these
because
they're
just
like
a
snapshot
moment
in
time,
so
just
to
be
clear.
I
So
apologize
for
that
to
complicate
the
process.
I
am
not
on
this
list
for
an
external
committee.
I
did
what
our
two
new
council
members
are
doing
right
now,
and
I
was
first
selected
as
I
signed
up
for
all
the
things
in
2017
and
I've
done
a
lot
of
external
work,
including
being
the
chair
of
cvag
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
Palm
Springs,
so
I'm
just
sitting
here,
looking
at
all
of
your
recommendations
and
request,
seeing
if
there's
a
place
that
I
fit
in,
that
I
would
be
most
useful.
I
C
And
councilmember
holstich
feel
free
to
state
if
you
want
to
be
in
a
position
that
someone
has
already
listed
in.
These
are
just
recommendations
and
following
along
with
discussions
that
I've
had
in
the
past,
with
all
of
you
about
what
you
might
be
interested
in,
but
these
were
I
think
we
all
are
flexible
on
on
who's
on
who
serves.
I
I
Traditionally,
we've
always
had
strong
leadership
on
that
committee,
typically
serving
as
chair,
Vice
chair
or
you
know,
Palm
Springs
has
really
led
the
way
on
homelessness,
so
that
spot
is
important
to
me.
I
know:
Jenny
folk
had
done
it
previously
too.
So
those
are
the
ones
that
I'm
interested
in
I.
G
G
G
I
I
C
H
I
That'd,
be
great,
I
would
love
to
do
that
and
if
you,
if
you're
interested
in
homelessness
and
stepping
into
that
leadership
role
for
the
region,
I'm
happy
to
support
that
as
well.
If
you
I
know
this
process,
welcome
to
your
first
meeting
and
you
have
to
talk
openly
about
all
of
these
positions
and
it's
kind
of
an
awkward
place
to
be
for
these
appointments,
but
yeah
happy
to
support
you.
If
you
have
a
strong
preference
for
that.
I
F
C
Very
top,
oh
here
it
is
here.
It
is
thank
you
for
that.
I
appreciate
it
all
right,
so
we
have
that
list
I'm
going
to
save
it
and
make
sure
our
city
clerk
gets
that
now,
the
next
there
were.
There
are
two
standing
committees.
We
did
not
discuss
those,
but
those
have
typically
the
finance
committee
is,
is
the
mayor
and
the
mayor
Pro
tem.
So
that's
unless
there's
an
objection
to
that.
I
recommend
that
we
move
continue
that
Trend.
I
E
I
Thank
you
so
Madam
mayor,
so
you
took
what
staff
published
is
the
external
and
then
the
internal
Liaisons,
and
so
just
clarify
to
me,
because
this
is
we've
done
this
a
few
times
now.
We,
like
you,
said,
have
ping-ponged
from
having
subcommittees
and
Liaisons
and
just
trying
to
get
a
handle
on
all
of
the
city's
excuse
me
City
work
and
the
role
of
the
council
and
role
of
staff.
So
can
you
just
so
you're
recommending
not
moving
forward
with
the
rest
of
the
Liaisons
on
the
staff
report
list?
The.
C
G
G
It
was
extremely
productive
and
useful,
and-
and
there
was
you
know,
interesting
things
from
getting
Fine
Food
Bank
there
to
creating
a
uniquely
Palm
Springs
campaign
and
and
I,
don't
know
how
all
the
other
ones
were,
but
this
one
seemed
to
actually
get
things
done
and
accomplished
and
and
serve
as
a
great
forum
for
the
business
community.
So
I
would
like
to
see
that
I
would
like
to
see
Liaisons
for
commissions
and
boards
and
I
realize
the
time
drain,
especially
looking
at
this
long
list
and
I.
G
Don't
think
it
requires
everybody
necessarily
after
attend
on
a
on
a
monthly
basis.
You
know,
maybe
it's
quarterly
and
at
least
have
a
some
connection
with
the
chair.
As
the
chair
of
measure
J,
it
was
frustrating
not
to
know
who
to
talk
to
when
there
was
issues
and
I
just
think
it
would
streamline
things.
G
A
lot
and
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
you
know:
there's
a
lot
of
valuable
work
done
on
the
commissions,
there's
a
lot
of
very
intelligent
people
who
are
volunteering
to
help
the
city,
and
you
know
they
can
have
some
kind
of
open
communication
with
a
council
member
and
have
that
council
member
attend
at
least
you
know
quarterly.
For
let's
say
it
goes
a
lot
towards
increasing
Community.
You
know,
support
and
and
confidence
that
they're
it's
worth
their
while
to
help
the
city
and
I
have
several.
G
I
Thank
you,
Madame
mayor
I
might
propose
that
we
table
this
conversation
with
having
a
new
city
manager.
So
when
we
had
David
ready
a
city
manager,
we
had
this
subcommittee
form
of
organization
and,
as
you
can
imagine
and
saw
you
both
were
involved,
it
became
very,
very
burdensome
because
we
had
so
many
and
it
was
requiring
so
much.
We
chose
to
move
away
from
the
Liaisons
to
the
commissions
because
they
did
end
up
becoming.
I
You
know,
there's
risk
and
reward
in
that
having
a
council
member
who
doesn't
have
staff
be
their
liaison,
then
they're.
You
know
very
frustrated
that
the
council
member
isn't
there
every
time
that
was
not
a
successful
model.
The
council
at
that
time
decided
that
doesn't
mean
we
can't
decide
that
and
I
would
you
know,
I'm
happy
to
discuss
it
and
then
with
Justin
as
a
new
city
manager.
I
I
There
are
key
issues
that
are
very,
very
important
to
us.
Like
I
was
thinking
you
know,
sustainability,
we
don't
have
a
subcommittee
or
liaison
to
we
heard
Parks
and
Rec,
or
a
cap,
Capital
Improvement,
you
know,
liaison
or
par.
You
know.
City
Works
projects
right
like
we
could
really
come
up
with
here,
are
the
key
priorities
for
Council
and
when
we
did
that
with
the
last
Council,
we
noticed
that
we
did
not
have
Council
subcommittees
or
South
Council
Liaisons
to
some
of
the
issues
that
are
most
important
to
council.
I
F
F
They
were
very
clear
and
Frank
with
us
that
that
that
needs
to
happen
and
I
think
a
liaison
would
be
a
good
first
step.
We've
got
some
work.
We
need
to
do
during
the
course
of
this
year.
I
hope
to
assess,
what's
working
and
what's
not
working
with
our
boards
and
commissions
and
having
that
liaison
so
that
there's
constant,
regular
communication,
I
think
would
be
very
helpful
and
if
we
decide
to
go
that
route,
I
am
certainly
will
ready
to
participate.
F
There's
a
couple
that
I
would
identify
that
I
would
volunteer
for,
but
I
would
want
to
make
sure
that
everything's
covered
when
it
comes
to
subcommittees.
I.
Think
our
decision
to
end
the
subcommittees
was
the
right
decision.
It
had
become
very
bureaucratic
and
we
were
just
giving
ourselves
responsibility
and
not
really
following
through
with
it.
But
as
council
member
Bernstein
said
said
what
was
essentially
an
ad
hoc
Committee
of
council
member
holstich
and
council
member
course
to
address
business
retention.
F
Issues
turned
out
to
be
very
successful
and
I
think
the
lesson
there
is
that
we
should
assign
committees
to
do
work
when
we've
got
a
specific
task
that
we
need
them
to
do,
and
there
should
be
this
shouldn't
be
permanent.
It
should
be
something
that
we
assign
a
committee
on
Council
to
do
something
finish
it
and
then
conclude.
C
G
I
I
I
that
makes
sense
to
wait
for
the
for
the
city
manager
to
do
it.
What
I
would
just
want
to
know
is
for
the
commissions,
because
they're
still
operating
now
and
that
they
haven't
had
a
liaison
for
a
while
and
I
was
at
that
meeting
in
June
and
talked
to
other
Commissioners,
and
you
know
it
was
very
unfortunate
because
I
know
people
who
have
left
the
clinicians
because
they
didn't
feel
like
they
had
any
contact
or
with
anybody.
G
So
I
I,
don't
know
whether
it's
there
can
be
an
informal
or
a
temporary
liaison,
or
they
can
have
someone
they
could
talk
to.
But
again,
I
know
when
I
was
in
a
measure.
J
I
would
go
to
all
of
city
council
with
an
issue
in
it,
and
no
one
I
wasn't
really
sure
who
would
actually
act
up
on
it
and
I.
Don't
think
city
council,
you
know
understood,
knew
what's
their
role
to
do
it
anyway.
G
So
it
was
sort
of
a
problem,
and
I
would
like
to
see
that
we
have
some
kind
of
Outreach
to
these
commissions
that
are
continuing
to
do
the
work
and
I.
Don't
know
whether
that's
a
temporary
liaison,
whether
it's,
whether
they
can
request
to
speak
with
someone
with
this
with
the
assistant
city
manager,
until
they
have
this
set
up
or
something,
but
something
should
be
done
so
that
they're
not
sort
of
left-handed.
In
my
view,.
I
And
some
of
this
just
to
highlight
what
we
discussed
before
in
depth
is
kind
of
a
conversation
about
what
staff
work
and
what's
Council
work
and
that's
the
transition
that
this
Council
has
been
in,
because
we
had
a
very
Council
work
driven
agenda
and
then
we
tried
to
reel
in
a
bit
and
be
more
staff
directed
and
so
technically.
Under
the
fairy
staff
directed
system
right,
the
staff
is
the
liaison
and
the
professional
liaison
to
the
city
channels.
I
I
mean
I,
get
that
because
I
ran
for
city
council,
because
I
was
on
a
commission
and
felt
with
with
now
council
member
to
heart
and
sort
of
felt,
like
yeah,
I
wasn't
getting
anywhere
and
so
I
decided
to
run
for
Council
right.
So
I
feel
that
frustration
too.
We
just
also
want
to
think
through
and
analyze
the
impact
on
staff
because
then-
and
it
was
also-
we
were
finding
requiring
a
lot
of
Staff
resources.
I
If
you
have
the
mayor
or
a
council
member
at
Council
commission
meetings
right,
that's
a
lot
more
pressure
on
staff,
so
I'm
not
trying
to
minimize,
because
I
absolutely
agree
that
the
the
system
is
broken
and
there's
a
lack
of
comp
of
communication.
But
I
would
just
like
to
involve
staff
in
that
conversation
about
Staffing
and
capacity,
and
you
know
what
can
be
driven
because
we've
also
had
problems
where
the
account
you
know
that
we've
had
commissions
taking
stands
against.
I
It
was
really
they
needed
staff
to
get
them
press
or
to
get
them
on
to
fix
the
website
or
Metro
J
signs
or
XYZ,
and
it
was
almost
like
stepping
in
a
staff
role
and
then
you
know
I
became.
Then
you
become
the
Target
too
right
if
you're
not
they're,
not
getting
what
they
need.
So
I'm
sort
of
opposed
to
that
liaison.
That's
why
I
wanted
to
move
away
from
it,
but
I'm
really
open
to
building
a
system
that
works.
J
J
Go
ahead,
Teresa.
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
share
I'd
be
happy
to
meet
with
any
commissions
that
feel
like
they
need
access
to
staff
and
further
Direction
as
a
liaison
during
this
interim,
and
we
can
bring
something
back
during
your
visioning
and
study
session
that
we'll
be
having.
We
do
have
some
further
dialogue
to
have
about
committees,
commissions
and
Boards.
Some
work
that
we
started
last
year
that
we
do
intend
to
bring
back
to
you.
C
C
I
think
it
would
make
sense
to
take
a
second
look
and
just
list
the
ones
that
you
really
want
to
do
and
not
and
not
be
too
over
eager
because
remember
with
all
of
these
and
I
and
I
say
this
remembering
becoming
a
new
council
member,
it's
really
easy
to
put
too
much
on
your
plate.
So
just
keep
that
in
mind.
It
gets
to
to
be
a
lot
very
quickly.
C
C
I
think
it's
important
to
have
some
continuity.
There
so
I'd
like
to
volunteer
to
continue
that,
but
I
would
like
to
recommend
that
either
Council
Amir
Putin,
Bernstein
or
council
member
de
Hart
join
me
in
that
process,
so
that
you
can
see
how
how
these
interviews
go.
Would
one
of
you
like
to
volunteer.
G
H
Yeah
I'm
I'm
fine
to
split
it,
but
I'm
I'm
drawn
on.
Why
would
we
add
more
Commissioners
to
commissions
if
we
haven't,
even
if
we
don't
have
guidance
and
Direction
instruction
form
so
I
think
I
would
not
like
to
see
another
commissioner
get
into
the
position
that
they
feel
they're
not
getting
they're
spinning
their
Wills
on
the
commission.
So
if.
C
J
Are
some
commissions
where
we
do
have
to
have
a
minimum
number
in
order
to
continue
to
function
and
there
and
the
functions
are
outlined?
We
do
have
a
book
that
outlines
the
functions
of
the
commissions,
but
if
there
is
are
there
are
nuances
that
they
have
in
their
direction
that
they
need
clarification
on?
You
I'd
be
happy
to
help
in
the
interim,
but
the
ones
that
we're
we're.
Looking
to
a
point
right
now
that
you're
doing
interviews
for
are
to
meet
our
requirements.
C
Thank
you,
Teresa,
that's
really
helpful,
and-
and
that
is
one
of
the
things
that
the
former
Council
directed
was
for
us
to
clarify
the
roles
for
all
of
our
commissions
and
that's
something
that
staff
is
working
on
currently,
so
that's
all
in
the
process
and-
and
we
are
not
overly
packing
our
commissions
at
this
point
right.
So
some
of
our
commissions
were
quite
large,
we're
not
adding
to
those
that
are
quite
large,
we're
only
adding
to
meet
those
requirements
like
Teresa
said.
C
H
C
C
H
B
C
Thank
you
all.
So
much
and
I
really
want
to
thank
all
of
council
for
going
through
this
process
on
the
public.
I
know
it's
a
little
bit
messy
and
it
can
be
a
little
bit
confusing
when
we
do
this
at
the
top
of
each
year,
but
I
am
glad
that
the
recommendations
worked
out
overall,
we
didn't
have
too
many
things
to
discuss
all
right.
The
next
item
is
public
comment
on
non-agenda
items.
C
This
time
has
been
set
aside
for
members
of
the
public
to
address
the
city
council
on
items
of
general
interest
within
the
subject
matter
of
the
city.
Although
the
city
council
values
your
comments
pursuant
to
the
brown
act,
it
generally
cannot
take
any
action
on
items
not
listed
on
the
agenda.
Two
minutes
will
be
assigned
to
each
speaker,
city
clerk.
Can
you
please
begin.

P
All
right
good
evening,
everyone
Frontiers
fiber
rollout
activities
represents
the
first
time
in
decades
that
there
is
a
major
infrastructure
upgrade
throughout
the
city.
In
response,
the
city
should
hire
more
inspectors
and
update
its
policies,
procedures
and
communication
practices
in
the
engineering
and
public
works
department
to
give
both
staff
and
residents
to
the
tools,
resources
and
information.
They'll
need
going
forward.
Other
cities
in
the
valley
mandate
daily
contact
with
permitted
project
Crews
and
hire
additional
staff
to
cope
with
anticipated
volume
of
ongoing
projects.
This
ensures
that
project
crews
are
complying
with
permit
Provisions
daily.
P
This
will
be
a
new
experience.
For
me.
There
will
be
a
learning
curve
for
staff
working
with
utilities
on
Project
scale.
That
has
not
been
seen
in
a
long
time.
Residents
are
not
accustomed
to
a
three-month
occupation
of
work,
Crews
daily
disruptions
equipment,
materials,
block,
driveways
and
property
damage.
Sidewalks
will
be
impossible
hazards
for
those
who
rely
on
them
for
Mobility
there
they'll
need
to
know
how
to
schedule
their
activities
and
who
to
contact.
P
If
there's
an
issue,
the
city
needs
to
update
the
utility
encroachment
permit
process
to
make
sure
large-scale
utility
rollouts,
like
Frontiers
fiber
to
home,
are
as
smooth
as
possible
for
everyone.
Existing
permits
and
procedures
do
not
require
the
notification
of
residents
who
live
along.
The
right-of-way
contractors
are
not
required
to
tell
residents
or
staff
when
construction
will
start
and
when
it
will
end
names
of
contractors
and
contract.
P
Tax
information
are
not
publicly
available
or
anywhere
to
be
found
on
a
public
web
page
Frontier
is
currently
performing
work
based
on
permits
that
were
submitted
over
a
year
ago
and
according
to
staff
contained
out
of
date,
information
other
jurisdictions
only
approve
open-ended
permits
for
annual
maintenance
and
not
for
large-scale
projects.
Public
Works
engineering
staff
should
be
enforcing
existing
Provisions,
including
on-site
Cruise
supervision.
P
Traffic
control
safety
plans
should
be
required
by
default.
Liability
insurance
and
construction
schedules
should
not
be
discretionary
and
be
made
public
information.
Trusting
that
large
utility
companies
will
act
in
good
faith
within
City
boundaries
without
sufficient
public
oversight
is
not
in
anyone's
best
interest.
C
Thank
you,
city
clerk,
I,
appreciate
that
the
next
item
on
our
city
council
is
our
city.
Council
agenda
is
city,
council
and
city
manager,
requests
an
upcoming
agenda
development
I'd
like
to
start
us
off.
If
no
one
Minds
I
wanted
to
just
let
you
all
know
that
we
welcomed
13
new
firefighters
to
Palm
Springs
Fire
Department.
Yesterday,
I
was
there,
along
with
council
member
Middleton
and
our
acting
city
manager,
Theresa
Gallivan,
as
well
as
many
members
of
our
HR
team
and,
of
course,
dozens
of
firefighters.
C
C
I
also
wanted
to
just
thank
everyone
and
all
of
their
work
on
the
Palm
Springs
International
Film
Festival.
We
are
closing
out
the
last
weekend
here.
So
if
you
have
not
had
a
chance
to
go
see
any
of
the
movies,
please
do
I
have
seen
a
few
now
and
I
cried
during
each
one
of
them,
because
I
was
so
moved.
C
C
If
you
want
to
see
a
little
bit
more,
you
can
go
on
my
Facebook
page
or
my
Instagram
and
then,
as
soon
as
there
is
a
location
for
the
meeting
that
will
be
announced
and
as
we
get
closer
to
the
date,
a
zoom
link
will
also
be
published
so
that
people
can
participate
as
they
want.
But
because
this
is
such
a
short
meeting,
I
encourage
my
fellow
council
members
to
give
council
member
comments.
We
end
up
skipping
these
a
lot
because
it
gets
late.
Mayor,
Pro,
tem
Bernstein
go
ahead.
G
Yeah
so
actually
mayor,
thank
you.
I
wanted
to
second
year.
Congratulations
to
the
film
festival,
two
of
the
most
exciting
things
for
me
with
that,
seeing
all
the
celebrities,
not
just
at
the
gala
but
going
to
movies
celebrities
and
creative
talent
that
are
talking
after
the
movies
that
are
are
meeting
with
the
film
goers.
G
If
it's
really
something
very
special
and
I
know
from
the
hospitality
community
that
there's
a
lot
of
people
in
town
who
are
just
really
enjoying
going
to
the
movies,
and
that's
one
good
thing
about
having
rainy
weather
is
it's
something
good
to
do,
but
also
to
the
I
think
it's
450
volunteers
that
work
at
the
film
festival
and
they
these
are
really
what
make
it
work.
I
mean,
there's
a
there's,
a
tremendous
staff
in
movies
and
and
talent,
but
without
those
450
volunteers,
the
film
festival
would
not
happen
yeah.
G
So
thank
you
to
them,
and
the
other
thing
I
want
to
mention
is
that
the
Palm
Springs
sister
city
committee
is
moving
forward.
I
I've
resigned
from
the
board,
but
I
am
still
working
with
them.
The
mayor
of
San,
Miguel
de
Allende
and
a
contingent
is
coming
here,
February
6th,
to
9th
to
sign
an
official
agreement
to
get
a
tour
of
our
city
and
then
hopefully
that
is
the
beginning
of
a
long
relationship
with
San
Miguel
de
Allende.
And
those
are
my
comments.
Thank
you.
F
That's
the
largest
class
we've
ever
had,
and
anyone
who
wants
to
see
something
really
good
at
seeing
all
of
those
proud
families,
as
in
this
case
it
was
their
sons
and
fathers
and
brothers
that
were
being
pinned
as
new
firefighters,
so
the
on
February,
2nd
at
one
o'clock
in
the
afternoon
and
then
again
on
February
3rd
at
8
30
in
the
morning
at
the
Renaissance
Hotel,
and
this
is
a
public
meeting.
The
Riverside
County
Transportation
Commission
will
be
meeting
here
in
Palm
Springs.
F
Once
every
a
year
we
hold
a
meeting
in
a
particular
City,
so
I'm
looking
forward
to
being
able
to
have
Palm
Springs
as
the
host
and
invite
anyone
who
has
an
interest
in
transportation
issues
to
come
out.
It
is
they
are
public
meetings
and
it's
a
great
opportunity
to
see
some
of
the
conversation
that
takes
place
on
Transportation
issues.
Thank
you.
H
Yes,
thank
you.
In
addition
to
the
accolades
that
have
already
been
placed
on
the
film
festival,
I
I
certainly
want
to
point
out
Public
Safety
and
their
role
in
the
tremendous
number
of
Public
Safety
officers
that
were
at
the
convention
center
for
the
award
Scala
that
was
seen
around
the
world.
They
did
a
fantastic
job,
keeping
our
city
safe,
keeping
all
the
visitors
safe
and
and
making
for
a
Flawless
event.
So
thank
you
for
that.
C
J
I'll
go
ahead
and
walk
us
through
it.
So
at
our
next
meeting
we
presently
have
a
historic
designation
of
the
aroma,
a
public
hearing
scheduled
approximately
15
minutes,
vacation
rental
fee
adoption,
public
hearing
which
could
take
up
to
an
hour.
We
estimate
desert
Highlands
Lots
disposition
requests
for
proposals
will
be
under
business
and
legislative
activity
that
potentially
could
take
an
hour.
We
have
the
adult
business
ordinance
coming
back
under
business
and
legislative
agenda
for
approximately
30
minutes.
J
We
have
the
airport
legitimate
purpose,
ordinance
being
introduced.
That
may
have
some
discussion
under
business
and
legislative,
and
then
we
have
the
vacation
rental
Maps,
which
we're
bringing
back
an
ordinance
that
was
adopted
at
the
end
of
last
calendar
year.
This
is
just
a
clarification
on
areas
outside
the
and
I
see
we're
sharing
that
now.
So
you
can
also
hopefully
see
that
I
know
it's
a
little
bit
small,
essentially
outside
of
consent.
J
All
the
items
we
have
on
the
agenda
look
to
be
about
four
hours
and
15
minutes
worth
of
activity,
plus
the
consent
agenda,
and
then,
following
that
and
beginning
of
February,
we
have
a
navigation
Center
update.
We
have
the
airport
master
plan,
consultant
agreement
coming
in
front
of
you
and
later
in
February,
we'll
be
talking
about
the
Dream
Hotel,
the
sidewalk
vending
ordinance
and
the
rescission
of
the
local
emergency
order.
J
C
J
K
J
If
I
may,
I'd
also
like
to
get
a
clarification,
I've
just
been
made
aware
of
on
the
calendar
that
was
adopted
earlier
on
the
consent.
We
did
have
a
conflict
on
July
27th,
but
a
alternate
date
was
not
printed
on
that.
So
I
just
want
to
confirm
with
the
council
that
your
preference
would
be
the
Monday
of
that
week
or
the
Tuesday
of
that
week.
July
24th.
C
One
is
that
it
was
brought
to
my
attention
that
when
there
is
construction
going
on
on
on
our
roads,
there
is
not.
There
are
not
lanes
blocked
off
for
bikes
or
pedestrians
if
those
are
already
existing
in
those
streets.
So,
for
instance,
if
let's
see
Farrell
were
closed
for
construction
in
some
areas,
cars
would
have
a
workaround,
but
bikes
would
not
be
considered.
C
Great,
thank
you
so
much
and
then
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
to
raise
that
we
do
need
I,
do
need.
Support
from
Council
is
through
the
state
of
California.
We
can
be
designated
a
pro-housing
city
through
conversations
with
staff.
We've
determined
that
we
have
28
of
the
30
points
that
we
need
to
be
a
pro
to
have
the
pro-housing
designation.
C
There
are
a
few
things
that
are
going
to
be
coming
to
us
in
terms
of
our
accessory
dwelling
units
that
would
get
us
to
be
above
those
30
points,
and
so,
and
what
I'm
looking
for
right
now
is
simply
support
from
fellow
council
members
to
add
to
move
forward
in
applying
to
be
or
considering
applying,
to
be
a
pro-housing
designated
city.
Is
there
support.
G
F
C
Yes,
and
and
that
that
is
exactly
it,
it's
a
little
bit
hard,
sometimes
to
make
these
requests,
but
these
and
for
the
public
as
well
we're
making
requests
for
items
to
be
put
on
our
agenda
and
to
be
discussed.
This
is
not
us
deciding
if
we
would
support
these
items,
we're
just
supporting
having
them
on
our
agenda
to
make
that
clear,
but
we
do
require
that
we
have
support
from
a
majority
of
council
before
something
goes
on
the
agenda
list.
C
The
other
two
things
I
wanted
to
give
the
floor
back
to
council,
to
council
member
to
Hart
and
mayor
Pro,
tem
Bernstein,
because
you
both
pointed
out
a
couple
of
things
at
our
very
first
meeting
and
we
did
not
go
through
this
process
of
making
sure
that
there
was
interest
by
the
rest
of
council.
So
if
you
want
to
repeat
your
items
and
see
if
there's
interest,
that
would
be
great.
I
Holstich,
thank
you
so
much
thanks
for
bringing
this
up
I
fully
support.
It.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
staff,
because
I've
requested
that
as
well
in
the
past
and
I
know,
we've
had
some
discussions
about
it.
What
do
we
need
to
bring
back?
Would
it
be
just
a
discussion
item
about
the
ways
to
make
that
possible.
J
O
B
I
C
Thank
you
and
I
would
also
support
that,
but
in
I
would
like
to
broaden
that
a
bit
to
say
that
I'm
interested
in
how
we
would
be
allocating
percentage
of
any
funds
for
different
projects,
because
that's
something
that
we
have
discussed
broadly
in
the
past
and
haven't
really
dived
into.
So
it
would
be
interesting
to
know
what
we
can
do.
What
what
that
would
look
like,
so
that
when
we
get
to
our
budget
review,
we're
a
little
better
informed
and
a
little
more
strategic
in
our
planning.
C
Instead
of
only
determining
how
we
could
allocate
funds
for
housing,
it
would
be,
how
would
we
allocate
any
larger
sums
of
money
that
come
into
the
city
to
determine
percentage
for
projects?
So,
for
instance,
we
discussed
at
the
last
budget
meeting
should
we
have
a
percentage
of
funds
that
went
to
the
library?
Should
we
have
a
percentage
of
funds
that
go
to
x
project,
but
we
end
up
discussing
them
really
quickly
in
our
in
our
budget
sessions,
and
we
haven't
really
fleshed
it
out
more.
C
G
C
J
I
For
me,
it's
a
very
specific
request:
I
believe
that
vacation,
rentals
and
hotels
obviously
generate
so
much
tot
upon
which
we
rely
Transit
occupancy
tax,
but
that
they
have
impacts
on
the
housing
market
and
also
our
Workforce
and
our
housing
and
Supply
overall,
and
so
does
specifically
and
the
problem
that
the
city
faces.
I'm.
Sorry,
they
are
pro
tem
if
you
have
some
to
add
as
well,
but
the
city
face
the
faces,
the
problem
that
we
don't
have
Redevelopment
or
a
revenue
Source
into
our
housing
fund.
I
That's
why
the
city
had
to
do.
10
million
dollars
is
a
lump
sum
from
general
fund,
and
so
our
problems
would
be
solved
in
a
way,
though,
we
would
need
to
know
the
amounts
if
we
had
a
dedicated
Revenue
stream
for
housing
to
mitigate
the
housing
impacts
of
the
hospitality
tot
sector.
So
that
was
my
thinking,
I'm
interested
in
what
you're
saying
like
Tom
fees
or
other
development,
fee
fees
or
at
least
like
development
allocations
from
projects
to
go
to
certain
funds,
but
I
think
it
should
be
wholly
separate.
Mayor,
Pro,
Tem.
G
I
G
So,
where
the
discussion
I,
think
with
library
and
Parks
also
came
up
with
measure
J
and
whether
there
was
a
percentage
of
those
funds
that
would
be
dedicated
each
year
towards
Parks
I
think
we
just
said
parks
in
a
library,
I'm
not
sure
what
else
was
in
there,
but
that
money
is
has
been
about.
20
million
and
I
know
they've
allocated
bunny
for
these
things,
but
the
question
was:
how
do
we
have
Parks
money?
G
C
You
now
I
appreciate
the
clarification
from
from
both
of
you
on
what
you're,
specifically
looking
for
that
helps
me
and
that's
and
then
I
understand,
there's
a
larger
analysis
there
that
you
want
done
so
I'm
happy
to
support
that
item
and
and
find
out
what
that
would
look
like
specifically
for
housing
and
and
that
that
that's
it
council,
member
de
heart,
did
you
want
to
raise
your
item
again?
Yeah.
H
I
think
it's
it's
important
for
our
Commercial
Business
and
residential
Property
Owners,
to
all
know
that
the
the
councils,
move
and
and
support
for
those
fire
positions
will
impact
our
insurance
rates
in
a
in
a
positive
way.
So
I
think
it's
just
nice.
If,
if
the
fire
department
could
do
a
quick
presentation
on,
why
is
that
why?
Why
is
that?
What's
the?
How
are
we
benefiting
from
all
those
positions
that
were
just
added.
C
Great,
thank
you.
So,
as
a
matter
of
course,
we've
been
limiting
presentations
at
Council
meetings.
So
do
we
have
an
interest
by
other
council
members
to
do
a
presentation
on
this?
Yes
from
councilmember,
Middleton
I'm,
seeing
nods
all
around
okay,
great
and
I
would
just
note
for
our
fire
department,
whoever
presents
it.
We
want
to
try
to
keep
presentations
at
five
minutes
and
obviously
you
can
submit
at
any
report
or
any
other
information
is
always
welcome.
I
You,
madam
mayor,
thank
you
sorry
for
getting
into
mayor
mode
and
calling
on
the
pro
tem
earlier.
It
just
came
out
of
me
all
the
respect
to
you
as
mayor
I
have
a
request
about
the
10
million
dollars
that
this
city
allocated
into
our
housing
fund.
Since
mayor
Pro,
tem
just
found
a
revenue
stream
into
our
housing
fund,
and
hopefully
we
will
get
more
dollars
into
it
and
we
are
ramping
up
our
lobbying
activities
and
our
work
to
get
state
and
federal
funding
for
infrastructure
and
housing
and
homelessness.
I
I'd
love
to
see
us
bring
forward
a
plan
or
or
discussion
item
or
a
recommendation
from
staff
about
how
to
start
to
think
about
deploying
those
funds
into
the
community
for
housing
and
homelessness.
So
you
know
that
will
be
up
to
staff
to
make
those
recommendations.
I
know
we
may
need
some
of
it
for
the
navigation
Center.
We
may
not
so
I'd
love
to
see
a
discussion
about
that.
So
we
don't
sit
on
10
million
dollars.
I
That's
for
affordable
housing
because
we
know
it
can
be
a
five
year
or
longer
timeline
to
turn
dollars
into
units,
and
we
need
as
many
units
as
we
can
right
now.
So
I
would
request
that
Council
supported
discussion
item
about
ways
that
we
can
deploy
the
10
million
dollars
from
the
city's
housing
fund
into
housing
and
homelessness
units
or
projects
or
services.
C
O
C
I
I
know
we
got
a
public
comment
up
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
from
David
Feldman
about
capital
projects
and
what's
outstanding,
and
what
the
process
is
and
having
that
information
either
for
the
council
or
just
public
on
the
website,
or
something
like
that,
so
City
staff.
Do
you
have
a
reply
now
or
is
that
something
you
could
address
in
the
future.
I
Thank
you
that
would
be
great
and
I
know.
I
have
some
requests
and
updates
about
Capital
Improvement
projects,
just
noting
like
the
the
move,
Community
Center
and
the
wall
in
front
of
there
needs
a
lot
of
work,
there's
a
lot
of
even
just
projects
that
are
smaller,
that
I'd
love
to
get
community
feedback
about
as
well.
So
having
an
agenda
item
works.
Well,
so
thank
you
so
much
to
City
staff
and
thank
you,
madam
mayor,
thank.
C
You
so
if
there
are
no
other
comments,
all
right
well,
our
next
regularly
scheduled
city
council
meeting
will
be
on
January
26th
at
5,
30
PM,
but
just
a
note
that
we
do
have
a
special
city
council
meeting
this
Friday
at
2
30
pm-
and
this
is
a
closed
session
meeting
and
with
that
I
adjourn
the
meeting
good
night.
Everyone.
