A
Good
afternoon,
everyone
welcome
thank
you
for
coming,
so
I
will
call
to
order
the
business
retention
standing
subcommittee.
This
is
a
special
meeting,
we'll
go
ahead
and
start
with
public
testimony
for
agenda
items
only.
We
normally
have
this
be
a
more
informal
meeting,
unlike
City
Council
meetings,
where
it's
maybe
more
difficult
to
participate.
A
We
do
try
to
allow
people
to
sit
up
here
at
the
table
and
participate,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
people
today
and
we
want
to
be
mindful
of
time
so
right
now,
we'll
ask
for
anyone
who
has
public
testimony
about
any
of
the
items
on
the
agenda.
So
if
you
do,
you
can
raise
your
hand
by
the
way:
I'm
Kristy
holstege,
City
Council
member
city
of
Palm,
Springs,
Mayor,
Pro,
Tem,
jeff,
Coors,
Jay
Virata,
our
director
of
economic
development,
the
people
at
the
table.
Would
you
like
to
quickly
introduce
yourselves.
B
C
F
F
I'm
Jeffrey
Bernstein
again
own
destination,
PSP
on
the
board
of
Main,
Street
and
I
hope
it
counts.
As
agenda
item
was
going
to
give
her
just
a
recap
of
the
pop-up
Palm
Springs
event,
which
I
guess
is
a
business,
his
own
activity,
the
event
took
place,
April
16th.
We
prepared
the
whole
thing
in
about
six
weeks.
We
ended
up
with
50
over
50
different
businesses
and
organizations
participating.
Not
all
of
them
were
retail.
F
We
had
the
American
Legion,
we
had
Barton
CPA,
we
had
Buddha
bullying,
we
had
Arts
Commission
yoga,
so
there
was
a
whole
variety.
It
was
all
run
by
volunteers,
although
we
did
of
a
hired
PR
firm
and
we
ended
up
with
having
Press
print
press
online
press.
Several
television
interviews,
radius,
couple
radio,
so
there
was
great
exposure
and
the
idea
was
to
get
traffic
down
to
Palm
Springs
on
a
midweek
between
Coachella,
when
it's
normally
very
slow,
so
I
know
a
number
of
businesses.
Mine
included,
had
significantly
increased
traffic
and
business.
F
That
day
we
had
two
to
three
times
our
normal
business.
For
that
Tuesday
and
as
some
others
did
so,
there's
a
lot
of
interest
in
doing
it
again,
including
from
people
who
did
not
participate.
Some
businesses
didn't
quite
know
what
it
was
and
or
didn't
have
time
to
do
something.
So
we
know
with
more
plan
it
could
do
better.
The
city
did
contribute
a
thousand
dollars,
which
was
great
and
thank
you
very
much.
F
We
asked
to
me:
businesses,
businesses
donated
another
thousand
dollars
worth
of
prizes
and
I'm,
estimating
about
four
to
five
times
that
in
costs
that
they
spent
on
doing
events
in
their
own
locations,
so
it
seemed
well
worth
it
and
and-
and
it
was
good-
you
know
successful
and
hopefully
gets
bigger
and
we
could
do
more
events.
I
do
want
to
just
suggest,
as
part
of
this
whole
planning,
that
the
idea
of
funding
for
events
is
something
I
know.
F
You
know
that
we
should
look
at
as
you're
doing
the
budget
for
next
year,
especially
if
things
like
this
that
are
cooperative,
where
businesses
and
and
contribute
as
well,
because
it
can
sort
of
go
a
long
way,
especially
at
specific
times.
Well,
we
know
it's
slow
and
it's
trying
to
drive
it
out
for
people
and.
D
This
was
all
Jeffrey,
so
the
idea
was
his
and
he
brought
it
forward
and
did
all
the
follow-up
and
got
everything
done
and
I
was
his
assistant
and
I
just
want
to
tell
you
what
how
grateful
I
am
to
have
Jeffrey
on
board
downtown
and
helping
us
out
because
he's
an
awesome
guy.
A
H
D
As
long
as
I'm
here
so
I
have
submitted
for
a
new
business
in
downtown
Palm
Springs
that
you'll
probably
be
seeing
this
this
lookbook
for
for
a
dispensary
lounge.
You
know
I,
didn't
really
support
them
being
in
downtown
on
pump
canyon,
but
I
found
a
location
that
isn't
actually
on
Palm,
Canyon
and
I
just
wanted
to
bring
it
up
that
I.
It's
been
a
very
long
time
since
I
have
had
a
new
business
really
downtown
and
I'll
be
interested
in
telling
you
how
it
goes.
Okay,.
A
You
any
other
public
comment
if
you
want
to
raise
your
hand,
otherwise
we'll
move
forward,
seeing
none
to
presentation.
So
we
have
the
Coachella
Valley,
Economic,
Partnership
or
sieve
app
talk.
We
have
Joe
Wallace
with
the
iHub
accelerator
and
we
have
sue
Becca
Hank
mckarrick
as
well.
Do
you
want
to
come
forward
for
the
presentation
you
can
sit
at
the
table
here.
E
Council
members,
let
me
just
briefly
include
that,
as
we
submit
quarterly
reports
from
Steve
app,
we
were
asked
to
possibly
bring
forward.
F
Joe
come
in,
give
a
presentation
to
the
full
City,
Council
and
I
think
this
might
be
a
good
venue
to
do
this
at
also-
and
I
believe
joe
also
suggested
a
tour
or
some
kind
of
a
tour
of
the
facilities
that
they
have,
but
fleming
quano.
What
Joe
starts,
oh
and
in
your
package,
is
the
latest
quarterly
report
that
will
be
submitted
to
the
full
City
Council.
I
Keep
it
to
about
five
minutes,
and
so
I'm
just
gonna
run
through
this
is
business
retention
and
expansion,
and
that
topic
is
sort
of
like
what
we
do
with
a
hub.
But
it's
not
it's
it's
broader
and
a
lot
of
times.
It's
more
retail
focus,
so
I'm,
just
gonna
kind
of
go
through
what
it
is,
and
the
guy
that's
gonna.
Follow
me:
Hank
McCarrick
is
a
inventor
with
many
patents
and
we
kind
of
took
him
under
our
wing
here.
I
Was
it
been
Hank
four
or
five
years
ago
and
he's
got
some
very
prominent
investors
he's
on
the
verge
of
a
big
success
and
how
we
want
to
retain
him.
Then
we
want
him
to
create
those
jobs
and
see
that
wealth
created
here
in
the
city
of
Palm
Springs,
because
that's
that's,
who
has
supported
him
all
these
years
so
getting
on
with
it.
I
You
know
so
in
retention
and
attraction,
they're
both
really
the
same
thing.
You
know
the
first
question
is:
can
this
business
be
done
in
the
specific
location
and
the
answer
changes
over
time?
So
somebody
that
decided
10
years
ago
to
start
a
business
here
if
they
want
to
grow,
if
they've
gotten
digitally
more
in
depth,
their
requirements
might
change.
So
just
because
somebody
chooses
you
at
one
time
as
their
business
matures
and
grows,
you
have
to
stay
on
top
of
things.
The
bandwidth
has
to
be
there
for
them.
I
If
they
need
it,
facilities
need
to
be
sufficient.
Their
supply
chain
needs
to
be
in
place
and
all
of
the
things
that
it
takes
to
get
a
business
up
and
running.
If
they
answer
that
question,
can
you
do
this
here,
then?
The
second
question
comes
up.
Is
it's
a
detail?
Analysis
is
what
are
the
revenue
prospects?
What
are
the
operating
cost?
What
kind
of
a
workforce
do
you
need
and
does
a
certain
region?
I
Have
it
what's
the
opportunity
for
growth,
and
can
you
run
your
business
to
it
profitably
in
a
certain
location
if
you
get
through
both
of
those
and
it,
and
this
works
for
expansions
retentions
and
attractions
all
the
same
way?
That's
when
lifestyle
comes
in,
we
always
win
on
lifestyle,
but
if
we
don't
win
on
the
first
two,
you
don't
get
to
ask
that
question,
and
so
what
does
Yvette
do
with
business
retention
and
expansion?
In
particular,
we
have
a
series
of
seminars,
usually
every
Wednesday
morning
we
have
one
somewhere,
they
can
be
from
business
planning.
I
We
do
a
lot
of
them
on
financial
literacy,
because
startup
companies,
especially
ones
that
are
not
tech,
don't
really
have
the
training
that
it
takes
to
know
how
to
start
a
business,
build
a
pro
forma.
Do
these
things,
and
then
we
have
this
little
discussion
with
them.
Where
is
it
okay?
You
think
you
want
to
be
an
entrepreneur,
but
do
you
really
want
to
be
an
entrepreneur,
because
it's
hard
or
should
you
just
get
a
job?
I
Because
you
know
if
you
want
to
start
a
coffee
shop,
Starbucks
pays
fifty
four
thousand
dollars
for
a
manager
and
they
give
them
benefits.
You
might
work
ten
years
in
your
own
coffee
shop
before
you
make
that
much
money
just
go
work
for
Starbucks
they've
got
it
figured
out
and
a
lot
of
times
that
that's
the
best
advice
that
we
can
give
and
we
do
want
to
to
try
and
help
those
people
as
individuals
when
they
come
in.
I
We
do
a
lot
of
one-on-one
consultations,
many
of
them
they
they
come
in
by
website
by
word
of
the
mouth.
So
it's
direct
contacts,
but
we
get
leads
from
other
entities
to.
We
had
a
walk-in.
Today,
that's
from
the
Women's,
Business
Center
and
she
had
heard
gee.
We
need
to
go
talk
to
see
vet
so
and
she
came,
and
hopefully
we
were
able
to
help
her.
That's
what
we
do
and
the
iHub
clients
like
Hank
that
you're
about
to
meet.
I
We
know
more
about
their
businesses
because
we
talk
to
them
at
least
weekly,
so
we're
in
continuous
contact.
We
know
when
they're
building
a
supply
chain,
we
even
know
when
they're
going
to
ship
a
product
and
the
thing
that
we're
really
helping
them
with
is
assistance
with
change
management
as
they
go
from
a
person
with
an
idea
to
a
company
with
a
product,
that's
competing
in
really
world
markets
external
influences.
These
are
things
that
we
can
help
with
that.
You
know.
I
Perhaps
the
city
can
help
with,
but
access
to
capital
is
always
an
issue,
and
alone
is,
you
know,
usually
the
form
of
capital
that
small
businesses
are
getting
because
equity
investors
don't
invest
in
small,
tight
micro
businesses.
We
have
a
lot
of
them
incentives.
You
know
you
have
some
hotel
programs
that
have
done
that
have
been
very
successful.
You've
had
the
sod
programs
that
are
successful
and
that
that's
sort
of
an
access
to
capital
to
because
it
adds
value
to
the
businesses
and
then
there's
talent.
I
You
know
all
of
our
I
hub
companies
when
it
comes
time
to
hire
and
you're
looking
for
whether
it's
a
marketeer
or
another
engineer
a
programmer.
It's
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
competition
for
talent
out
there
now
and
it's
it's
really
hard
to
get
the
right
people,
whether
it's
management,
technology
or
other
types
of
the
workforce
and
then
there's
demographics,
which
is
what
customers
are
local.
Where
are
you
going
to
get
your
revenue
from
and
what
proximity
do?
We
have
two
other
large
markets.
I
G
I
You
know
this
is
my
last
slide
before
I.
You
know
let
let
us
decide
to
keep
and
retain
Hank
and
Sue
Beckett
when
they're.
Here
it's
a
traditional
business
characterization
and
what
happens
a
lot
of
times?
Is
you
have
a
staff
of
about
three
people?
We
don't
have
enough
to
do
this,
but
this
is
a
you
organize
an
effort,
and
you
do.
I
You
could
continuously
polling
gathering
data
and
analyzing
the
data
so
that
you
have
a
really
good
data-driven
snapshot
of
what
your
business
complement
is,
whether
it's
in
your
city
or
your
region,
and-
and
these
are
good
things
to
do
and
I
think
we
understand-
maybe
10%-
of
what
we
have
it's
the
things
that
we
are
tasked
with.
Helping
the
SBDC
you'll
have
a
different
understanding.
I
The
Women's
Business
Center
will
have
a
disor
and
understand
and
about
as
soon
as
you've
gotten
the
report
done
and
Nona
will
have
an
understanding
pose
she's
with
those
small
businesses
all
the
time.
Then
you
have
to
do
that
over
and
it's
just
a
continuous
process
of
mapping
the
type
of
business
companies
that
you
have
in
your
region
and
with
that
I'll
just
say,
let's
all
elevate
together
and
I
think
mr.
McCarrick
will
be
up
unless
you
have
some
questions
for
me
just.
H
I
A
weekly
newsletter
and
it's
it's
become
more
like
a
twice
weekly
newsletter,
and
it's
all
publicized
through
that
we've
got
about
7,000,
unique
email
addresses,
we've
just
launched
a
online
blog
and
we're
putting
in
original
content
three
times
a
week
and
it's
content,
that's
kind
of
tailored
for
attraction
like.
Why
did
I
leave
the
bay
area
you
could
you
could
probably
write
an
article
for
it
too,
and
you
know
so
any
format
that
you
have
to
reach
the
public.
We
would
publish
our
articles
and
our
events
on
that
too.
A
A
J
I'm
gonna
talk
about
a
smart
city
initiative
that
really
falls
on
a
theme
that
you
just
presented.
You
know
a
business
retention.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
It's
gonna
be
now.
Okay,
all
right
yeah!
This.
This
initiative
is
sponsored
by
Comcast.
As'
is
a
division
of
Comcast
called
machine
Q,
and
what
Comcast
is
doing
is
they're,
providing
a
incentive
to
cities
for
accelerating
the
deployment
of
smart
city
products
and
devices,
and
this
network
is
machine.
Q
and
I
want
to
discuss
machine
Q
and
how
the
city
can
get
machine.
Q
kicked
off
here
now.
J
So
what
is
machine
Q?
It's
the
long
range
networks
of
that
support,
sensors
and
devices,
and
these
devices
are
typically
battery
operated.
They
might
be
mobile
devices
of
devices,
don't
have
the
luxury
of
being
plugged
into
the
wall,
and
so
they
have
tooth
needs.
They
need
to
extend
long
reach
and
they
have
to
last
a
long
time
on
batteries
and
sometimes
in
excess
of
ten
years
in
the
network
supplies
hundreds
of
thousands
of
devices.
So
it
has
a
large
capacity
network
deployed
in
the
in
Palm
Springs.
J
It
could
likely
support
millions
of
devices
if
deployed
in
mass
to
date,
there's
about
a
thousand
products
that
are
going
to
run
on
the
machine
q
network
and
I'll
get
into
some
of
those.
The
Comcast
spot
city
starter
kit
consists
of
three
machine.
Q
gateways
and
Comcast
is
charging
5,000
for
those
three
gateways
and
another
5000
for
installation
and
free
subscription
for
one
year,
so
a
total
budget
to
get
a
kickstart
Smart
City.
J
This
buddy
City
initiative
is
ten
thousand
dollars,
so
just
talk
about
example:
products:
smart
utility
meters,
parking,
sensors,
air
quality,
sensors
trash
bin
level,
health
monitoring,
cold
chain
management.
This
is
where
you're
monitoring
the
refrigeration
temperatures
make
sure
your
food
is
preserved
correctly
and
even
rodent
control.
Believe
it
or
not.
There's
a
smart
Mouse
trap
the
resides
on
this
network
and
tells
you
when
it
caught
a
mouse
right.
J
We've
actually
deployed
the
machine
queue
network
and
Desert
Hot
Springs
we're
a
graduate
of
the
the
I
hub
as
Joe
mentioned,
and
what
we
have
developed
is
a
smart
metering
technology,
specifically
water
metering,
and
we
deployed
the
network
for
the
mission
Springs
Water
District,
the
Department
of
Water
Resources,
provided
us
a
grant
to
test
our
technology
for
the
water
agency.
The
technology
is
certainly
a
first
of
its
kind.
It's
going
to
provide
water
customers,
a
information
about
water
use
like
they've
never
had
before,
and
the
uniqueness
about
this
is
while
we're
reading
meters.
J
Smart
meters
were
also
deploying
a
network
that
has
high
value
to
the
population
at
large,
with
all
the
other
products
just
real
quickly
on
the
mission
Springs
water.
It
is
a
project
this
is
up
and
running.
This
is
a
dashboard
that
the
customer
would
get
that
shows
them
real-time
usage
during
the
day.
They
can
actually
see
an
event
and
how
much
that
event
cost
them
as
an
example
irrigation
if
they
have
a
problem
with
their
water,
they'll
get
an
email
alert
and
in
fact
they
can
shut
their
water
off.
J
This
says
valve
control,
and
so,
if
they're
out
in
New,
York
City,
you
know,
and
then
they
have
a
problem,
they
can
really
get
their
phone
and
terminate
water
flows
today
at
home,
and
this
this
is
a
service
that
would
be
provided
by
the
water
agency
to
the
customer,
and
it's
certainly
a
service
like
it
and
none
existed
before,
but
it
rides
on
the
machine.
Q
network
I
did
a
map
of
where
we
could
possibly
put
these
gateways.
If,
indeed
the
city
took
advantage
of
this
initial
I
have
mapped
a
gateway
on
a
convention
center.
J
One
on
the
college
of
the
desert,
Palm
Springs
campus,
the
new
campus
here
and
one
at
the
iHub,
which
is
one
word
I-
have
accelerated
campus
here
so
you're,
covering
about
with
those
three
gateways
about
50%
of
the
population.
Here,
the
cover
for
full
coverage
you'll
probably
need
about
six
or
seven
gateways.
Ultimately,
but
this
is
a
good
kick
start
to
you
know
to
engage.
You
know,
like
part
of
the
population.
J
Now
what
is
the
value
to
the
city
of
Palm
Springs?
Clearly,
it
will
support
Joe's
efforts
when
he
has
innovators
that
are
focused
on
the
digital
transformation.
You
know
you
know
IOT
technologies
and
the
obvious
by
deploying
this
gate.
These
gateways
you'll
provide
value
to
the
businesses
to
the
city
and
to
the
population
at
large.
That
can
take
advantage
of
all
the
offerings
that
the
Machine
q
partners
can
offer.
F
B
B
B
Can
those
products
be
like
compatible
to
the
marijuana
industry
or
the
cannabis
industry
and
as
far
as
the
iHub,
what
are
we
doing
to
attract
marijuana
businesses,
not
necessarily
as
cannabis
grows,
but
I
know
they
have
one
business,
that
is
a
lighting
manufacturer
or
something
of
that
nature.
I
would
like
to
see
the
iHub
try
to
market
more
to
the
cannabis
industry
as
well,
not
just
cultivation,
but
you
know
the
products
of
that
nature.
We.
I
Have
two
companies
that
are
in
that
space
one
you
mentioned,
which
is
tuned,
LED
lighting
supplier,
the
cannabis
leaf,
has
preferred
wavelengths
of
light.
It
grows
better
in
certain
kinds
of
light
and
there's
one
of
our
company's
supplies,
the
lights.
We
have
a
second
one
that
has
a
delivery
for
when
you
have
it
delivered
to
your
house,
it's
a
device.
I
What's,
let's
call
it,
a
a
big
storage
deal
that
you
can
segregate
the
types
I
guess.
If
you
know,
if
one
person
wants
one
for
a
headache
and
another
one
wants
one
for
for
fun,
there's
there's
different
cannabis
products
and
it
keeps
them
apart.
It
keeps
them
from
cross
contaminating
each
other,
and
it
also
has
a
secure
place
to
put
currency
so
that
you
can
transport
your
your
medicine
or
your
your
cannabis
and,
and
you
can
protect
the
currency
that
you're
picking
up
to
it.
I
It
keeps
your
person
who's,
a
delivery
person
from
stealing
the
money
as
well.
So
we
bring
in
you
know
any
company
that
wants
to
talk
to
us.
It's
in
the
cannabis
space.
We
do
talk
to
them.
Our
facilities
aren't
really
large
enough
or
equipped
with
the
air
handling
capacity
that
cannabis
needs,
but
you
know
we
want
to
see
this
succeed
at
the
retail
level
and
at
the
grow
level,
when
we
were
will
accept
them
like
we
would
any
other
business.
A
E
E
E
What
what
you're
not
seeing
here
are
some
items
that
we
had
previously
discussed,
such
as
a
vacant
store
front
parking
strategies
and
other
consultants
to
assist
with
creating
new
districts
for
revenue
generation.
Now.
That
being
said,
we
do
want
to
hear
from
the
subcommittee
on
any
additions
here
or
changes
that
that
they'd
like
to
see
based
on
the
previous
conversations
we've
had
and
any
other
information
they
would
like
to
bring
in.
E
E
H
H
A
And
so
I
had
asked
for
this
item
to
to
talk
about
incentives
and
if
we
need
to
include
like
last
year,
we
included
a
budget
request
that
was
funded
for
our
incentive
work,
and
so
that's
what
we've
been
talking
about
at
the
subcommittee
level
is:
what
can
we
do
to
continue
to
grow
our
economy,
especially
as
our
costs
increase?
Do
you
want
to
respond
to
that?
Well,.
K
E
K
100
sure,
in
addition,
this-
and
this
was
at
the
recommendation
of
the
subcommittee
of
what's
going
to
be
in
the
budget
you'll
see
next
next
Wednesday
is
the
additional
hundred
thousand,
which
is
for
the
new
downtown
uptown
marketing
plan,
which
which
in
theory
would
be
run
through.
Potentially
this
business
retention,
so.
H
There
are
two
two
items
that
have
been
requested:
one
was
a
hundred
thousand
for
promoting
uniquely
Palm
Springs,
which
is
are
both
we're
talking
yes
correct.
So
the
request
was
a
hundred
thousand
to
promote
uniquely
Palm
Springs,
which
is
an
effort
that
is
underway
with
our
Palm
Springs
Bureau
of
tourism
and
the
chamber
has
been
partnering
to
promote
our
unique
local
businesses.
H
Don't
exist
anywhere
else.
Don't
have
the
marketing
budgets
of
some
of
the
national
brands
that
are
coming
in
so
this
already
that
effort
is
already
underway.
The
idea
was
to
help
promote
that
there's.
So
much
of
our
most
of
our
tourism
promotion
actually
goes
drive
market
for
overnight
stays,
and
the
goal
of
this
was
actually
to
promote
drive
market
people
who
can
come
in
spend
a
day,
spend
a
night
go
to
restaurants
shop
in
our
stores,
so
we
want
to,
and
people
in
Palm
Springs,
even
to
know
about
all
the
unique
opportunities
here.
H
So
that
was
that
piece.
The
other
was
that
we
really
haven't
done
anything
with
there's
so
much,
especially
in
the
Uptown
downtown,
that's
new
attract.
We
were
just
talking
about
that
before
the
meeting.
They
need
to
update
the
map
and
we
want
to
really
promote
it
and
promote
all
that's
here.
So
people
come
and
shop
and
stay
so
it's
really
putting
money
with
the
goal
of
driving
more
money
for
our
local
businesses.
H
Of
course,
when
they
do
well,
the
city
does
well
because
that's
how
we
generate
our
tax
revenue,
so
that's
an
additional
200
over
our
normal
tourism
budget
and
so
I.
Don't
know
what
the
price
you
can
figure
out
where
the
right
place,
for
that
is
whether
it's
economic
development,
whether
that's
really
tourism.
H
K
H
Mean
I
think
where
it
is
in
the
budget,
is
up
to
you.
I
think
it
needs
to
be
folks
in
tourism,
the
tourism
organization
who
do
the
work,
because
there
are
the
expertise
on
doing
ads,
buying
ads
doing
social
media.
That's
where
the
expertise
is,
but
whether
we
want
to
have
a
little
subcommittee
who
is
involved
in
that
with
the
Bureau
of
tourism,
like
we
do
with
the
small
hotels
and
to
really
help
advise
on
that,
might
make
sense
for
that.
H
F
Of
all,
thank
you.
This
is
terrific.
You
know
I've
never
seen
this
before
in
Palm,
Springs
so
and
I
and
I
do
think.
Just
I
wanna
mention
one
of
the
larger
hotel
owners
in
town
recently
gave
a
speech
with
a
I'm,
not
not
in
town,
but
where
they
said
restaurants
and
retail,
actually
being
drivers
for
hotels
and
which
obviously
makes
sense.
People
don't
want
to
go
stay
in
a
hotel
if
there's
no
nowhere
to
eat
or
shop
nearby.
F
One
thing
I
would
ask
is,
since
we've
shown
some
initial
success
with
doing
events
if
something
could
potentially
be
carved
out
or
or
just
at
least
covering
that
as
well
and
the
other
thing
I
want
to
just
to
mention.
With
the
facade
improvement
program,
you
mentioned
a
Palm
Desert,
there's
a
lot
more,
but
it's
great.
F
What
you
do,
the
only
the
only
suggestion
would
make
is
that
for
some
cases,
I
think
you're
actually
paying
for
facade
improvements,
because
business
owners
aren't
in
a
position
to
demand
it
of
the
landlord's
which
is
part
of
the
vacant
storefronts.
So
if
somebody's
moving
into
a
vacant
storefront
and
the
windows
are
all
graffiti
and
scratched
up,
unfortunately,
the
city's,
the
one
who
and
the
tenants
are
paying
to
do
it
and
things
like
that
should
be
required.
The
landlord
to
keep
up
I
would
suggest.
F
A
So
that's
why
I
raised
the
facade
improvement
program
and
just
the
amount
that
we're
budgeting
for
economic
development
incentives,
so
I
believe
last
year.
What
was
our
budget
request
that
the
last
cycle
wasn't
it
to
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
so
just
to
be
clear
this
year,
it's
a
hundred
thousand
for
this
facade
improvement
program
and
then
a
hundred
thousand
for
uniquely
pumped
Springs,
which
came
out
in
tourism.
A
So
my
comment
at
City
Council
was
that
the
city
of
Palm
Desert
actually
can
offer
up
to
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
per
project
for
facade
improvement
and
building
improvement.
So
if
we're
doing
smaller
grants
at
a
hundred
thousand
dollars,
that
might
not
be
enough
to
really
compete
with
other
cities
and
actually
to
improve
the
facades
for
downtown
business
owners
or
other
business
owners.
A
So
that's
what
I
really
wanted
to
talk
about
with
this
item
and
like
I
said
that
the
City
Council
meeting
I
think
we
need
to
be
actually
quite
aggressive
in
incentives
and
I'm
looking
here
at
other
incentives.
So
I
see
that
the
budget
has
job
creation,
incentives,
that's
at
zero,
but
it's
listed
there
and
that
we
I
know.
We've
talked
about
other
incentives
as
well
at
this
committee.
So
that's
that's
really
what
I'm
interested
in?
What
amount
can
we
really
budget?
A
K
I
would
suggest
I
mean
we
had
a
very
robust
program
that
was
well
exceeded.
A
Palm
Desert
I
mean
you
would
get.
You
know,
250
thousand
dollar
grant
if
you
put
in
if
you
put
in
750,
so
one
a
good
example
of
that
is
mr.
Lyons
I
think
they
were
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollar
grant.
So
at
that
time,
I
think
council
put
in
about
Kathy
seven
hundred
thousand
a
million.
G
G
K
So
you
know
if
we
want
to
do
that,
I
think
that
maybe
that
the
best
path
would
be
you
know
at
the
budget
meeting
Wednesday.
You
know
from
the
subcommittee
just
to
a
recommendation
to
do
that.
You
know
that
would
just
come
from
fund
balance.
You
know,
maybe
a
very
you
know
well
well
worth
the
expenditure,
because
I
think,
if
you
put
let's
just
say
you
put,
it
was
start
with
$300,000
and
see
where
that
gets
the
program
going.
K
My
sense
is
you,
wouldn't
you
may
spend
that
in
the
first
year,
but
then
and
then
it
see,
then
you
could
replenish
it,
but
at
least
you
start
with
the
seed
money,
and
maybe
we
go
back
to
at
least
the
$50,000
level
and
receive
that
goes
and
if
it's,
if
it's
successful
you
know,
then
that
sort
of
adds
to
the
excitement
of
yeah.
We
should
continue
to
fund
a
so.
H
A
I
agree,
so
that's
what
we
did
last
year
is
we
just
allocated
the
$250,000,
and
then
we
did
this
public
process
with
stakeholders
with
the
community
to
talk
about
what
incentives
those
should
be,
but
I
do
think.
We
need
a
lot
more
clarity
from
staff
about
options
and
best
practices
from
other
cities,
even
looking
at
what
other
cities
are
doing
and
continue
to
say
that
we're
competing.
Although
our
city,
other
cities,
are
our
neighbors
and
our
friends,
we're
also
competing
for
jobs
and
for
growth
for
retail,
for
all
of
our
industries.
A
E
Well,
some
criteria
would
be
helpful.
Are
we
you
know,
as
we
discuss
potential
downturn
City
revenues?
Should
we
look
to
revenue
generating
businesses,
which
is,
as
you
know,
a
big
push
for?
Why
so
many
cities
attend?
The
retail
convention
is
to
attract
those
retail
businesses.
So
there's
that-
and
we
already
have
a
hotel
program
that
we'll
be
discussing
later
in
the
agenda.
E
But
if
it's
focused
on
revenue
does
that
help
say
drive
the
types
of
businesses
and,
let
me
be
clear-
that's
probably
just
one
component
of
a
program,
because
the
uniqueness,
the
small
businesses,
also
are
very
important
quality
to
what
attracts
people
to
Palm
Springs
and
you
know
getting
away
from
the
chain.
Restaurants
I
think
is
a
big
draw
for
Palm
Springs,
also
so
developing
those
takes
time,
and
maybe
some
financial
assistance
to
get
new
restaurants
to
open
up
and
if
I'm
hearing
right.
E
H
We
asked
well
two
more
things
one
is
we
really
don't
have
an
idea
in
cost
known
and
I
had
initial
meeting
to
really
talk
about.
You
know
whether
it's
with
the
consultant
to
really
work
with
businesses
on
you
know,
we've
seen
a
bunch
of
turnover
on
businesses
on
you
know,
looking
at
what's
missing
in
Palm
Springs.
What
would
do
well
right?
H
We
have,
you
know
what
could
help
an
existing
business
do
better,
and
so
we
just
had
an
initial
talk
on
how
we
do
something
like
that,
and
so
it's
just
a
first
conversation,
but
it's
something
we
might
want
to
talk
about.
We
can
always
add
something
you
know
later.
Obviously,
when
we
look
at
the
budget,
but
it
is
something
I
just
want
to
share
that.
We've
started
meeting
on
to
really.
You
know
well
that.
E
H
H
So
having
enough
some
funding
for
that
piece
of
it,
because
we
need
a
consultant
to
really
help
us
figure
out
what
is
missing.
What
is
where
is
what
would
the
demand
be?
What
kind
of
business,
because
we
want
an
incentive
vais
businesses
that
are
actually
would
be
in
demand
right
right.
So
that's
helpful.
I
have
another
question
the
budgets
on
the
the
second-to-last
item.
You
have
desert
health
care
and
a
hundred
thousand.
H
H
We
look
at
that.
We
should
just
be
sorry
it's
a
slight
aside,
but
the
community
service
officer
I
think
we
have
in
the
police
budget
and
probably
should
be
it's
part
of
the
matching
grant
from
the
desert
health
care
district.
So
the
numbers
show
a
lot
less
of
a
match
and
that
sheet
that
we
did
for
what
we
spend
on
homelessness.
H
Then
we
actually
do
because
they
pay
for
that
whole
team
they're,
not
just
paying
for
the
two
people,
they're
matching
a
whole
team
that
whole
team
is
for
people
not
to
so
it's
not
just
one
hundred.
Sixty-Five
thousand,
we
can't
hire
four
people
for
a
hundred,
sixty-five
thousand
I
think
in
any
position.
H
So
anyway,
we
just
need
to
look
at
that,
so
numbers
just
I
didn't
want
to
forget
that.
Well,
we
were
here.
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
mention.
I,
put
a
note
and
following
up
on
what
Jeffrey
said
is
you
know
like
the
thousand
for
the
pop
up
are
those
things
that
should
be
budgeted
and
two
points
just
five
thousand
for
that,
or
is
that
just
we
can
do
one
offs?
H
What's
the
best
way
to
do
that,
and
so
that
was
a
question
think
about
the
other,
is
you
know,
PS
resorts
is
who
gets
funded
for
driving
right
tourism,
including
retail
and
restaurants?
So
you
know
at
the
last
meeting
yesterday
they
funded
something
that's
not
going
to
cause
anyone
to
come
visit,
Palm
Springs
from
out
of
the
region
for
an
overnight
stay,
but
that
will
draw
people
here
to
go
to
restaurants
bars
retail
attractions,
so
one
thought
I
had
on
that
is
to
go
to
them.
H
A
And
that
was
my
question
to
is:
we
also
have
their
grants
and
sponsorships
with
the
city,
and
so
we
have
that
cycle.
So
people
do
apply
for
events
for
the
city
to
fund
seed
money
or
in-kind
donations
for
police
support
or
whatever
it
is
for
events,
and
so
sometimes
we'll
take
those
and
give
them
to
PS
resorts
because
they
have
an
economic
impact,
but
that's
also
an
option.
But
it
could
be
that
we
would
want
to
think
about
budgeting
for
this
subcommittee.
E
E
K
K
G
F
H
A
A
K
Got
some
ads
in
there
and
so
some
direction.
We
can
do
one
of
two
things
we
can,
because
anything
we
add
will
be
then
at
a
deficit.
So
I
can
go
ahead
and
put
it
in
as
a
subcommittee
recommendation
or
we
raise
it
on
the
floor.
So
we
put
it
in
then
we
show
with
it
larger
the
deficit
or
we
raise
it
on
the
floor
and
it
just
if
a
preference
that
you
might
have
and.
A
H
K
A
H
A
E
Your
mic
Joe
Wallace,
identified
some
of
the
services
they
do,
and
you
know
the
question
was
posed.
How
do
you
get
this
out
to
to
them
to
the
public?
And
so
one
thing
we've
been
working
on?
That's
that's
in
your
package
is
just
a
simple
mailer
that
identifies
the
different
business
resources
available
to
Palm
Springs
businesses,
all
not
one
business
organization,
but
just
sort
of
the
collective
of
what
is
available,
and
we
are
coordinating
that
through
Kathy.
Of
course,
so
individuals
can
contact
her.
E
She
can
screen
to
a
preliminary
recommendation
based
on
need
and
let
them
know
which
of
these
organizations
might
help
them
with
where
they're
at
whether
it's
starting
a
business,
whether
it's
you
know
searching
for
capital,
whether
it's
a
facade
program,
so
we
would
be
able
to
provide
assistance
with
that.
So
we
will
be
getting
that
printed
and
out.
E
The
other
item
on
this
matter
has
to
do
with
just
the
status
on
the
facade
program.
As
we
discuss
investing
in
our
community,
we
have
dispersed
or
have
a
request
for
a
hundred
thirty
four
thousand
dollars
worth
of
facade
improvements,
but
so
far
this
fiscal
year
and
the
business
investment
side,
not
including
the
facade
investment
part,
is
one
hundred
sixty
seven
thousand
dollars.
So
more
than
one
hundred
percent
investment
back
into
Palm
Springs
businesses
be
it
in
the
physical
infrastructure
of
the
buildings.
So
that's
that's
been
very
successful.
Great.
H
Two
questions,
so
what
is
one
of
the
things
we've
talked
about
in
past
meetings
is,
and
maybe
it
exists
now
sort
of
a
one-pager
that
sort
of
says
you're,
starting
a
business
in
Palm
Springs.
You
need
to
get
this
permit
and
this
license,
and
this
is
where
to
go,
that
we
could
have
as
both
a
handout
out
on
the
website.
H
G
On
economic
development,
right
so
on
the
planning
department
and
both
kind
of
switched
to
refer
back
to
each
other.
One
of
the
other
key
things
that
we
are
gonna
work
on
to
highlight
on
our
website
is
a
state
website
called
Cal
Gold
Cal
Gold
is
a
permit
Assistance
Center.
So
in
it
you
can
search
by
city
and
industry
and
know
what
permits
you
need
to
get
the
challenge
to
just
do
a
one-pager.
We
can
do
that
in
general,
but
beauty
salon
requires
sure
a
whole
host
of
things.
Restaurants
same
thing.
G
So
from
a
general
standpoint,
we
could
do
this
on
the
planning
departments
page.
There
is
a
section
for
business
and
merchants,
which
is
super
helpful
because
it
refers
to
signage,
which
is
a
big
deal,
especially
in
uptown
and
downtown
and
there's
other
things,
and
that
are
you
know
important.
So,
yes,.
H
H
Now
and
I
think
that
Cal
gold
things
great
so
it'll
be
really
helpful
for
folks.
So
thank
you
and
then
on
the
incentive
program
and
I
guess
we
can
discuss
this
or
the
council
is
whether
we
want
to
up
that
at
all
right.
H
You
know
the
amount
of
the
incentive
I
mean
our
goal.
You
know
I
think
Palm
Desert
really
focus
on
part
of
Palm
Desert
and
you
know
we
want
to
distribute
these
as
evenly
throughout
the
city
for
any
business
and
do
more
of
them
so,
but
we
should
can
talk
about
that.
A
council,
if
there's
a
number
if
we
want
to
go
up
to
7,500
if
we
think
that
would
help.
A
E
A
I,
what
I
think
we
should
do
is
look
at
what
other
cities
are
doing
and
what
those
look
like
and
what
are
best
practices
and
then
I
think
we
should
also
think
about
our
needs
from
the
business
community
as
well
and
from
residents
and
the
public.
What
are
our
needs,
and
so
what
do
we
need
to
do?
What
are
the
the
buildings
that
need?
Incentives,
I
think
a
lot
about
South
Palm
Springs
around
the
curve.
There's
a
lot
of
old
restaurants
there
that
are
just
sitting
vacant.
A
H
H
To
talk
about
what
we
do
to
maintain
when
we
have
vacant
storefronts,
so
this
money
isn't
going
into
repair.
You
know
keep
keep
windows
or
damaged
windows
because
the
landlord's
not
maintaining
them,
because
that's
not
the
goal
of
this,
you
know
we'd.
Rather
the
money
go
beyond
that
if
we
can
so
okay
great
great.
Thank
you.
Thank.
E
B
E
Sorry,
and-
and
they
also
offered
a
what
folks
referred
to
as
being
kind
of
creepy-
is
a
business
tool
that
would
be
available
to
handful
of
businesses
to
let
them
know
when,
when
their
customer
is
in
town
by
knowing
their
customers,
it's
more
than
a
demographic
I
think
they
know
their
customers
spending
habits
because
they
have
this
unique
relationship
with
Visa.
So
they
know
what
the
customers
purchase
and
they
ping
their
phones.
E
K
H
A
D
A
Do
I
am
regretting
using
my
card
for
most
purchases
instead
of
cash?
You
know,
for
me,
I
just
need
more
information
about.
If
staff
has
a
recommendation,
if
we've
reached
out
to
stakeholders
like
developers
who
have
attempted
to
get
grocery
stores
or
other
stores,
if
they
would
need
this
data,
the
people
from
our
region
who
attended
ICS,
see
who
might
have
experience
I
think
we
have
asked
about
other
cities
who
have
used
Buxton
and
if
they've
gotten
a
return
in
their
investment.
You.
K
Actually,
just
that
information
we've
done
a
lot
with
Buxton
in
the
past
for
a
lot
of
years
and
I,
don't
know
that
it
ever
really
delivered
what
it
promised
for
us
or
the
other
stakeholders,
but
that
was
just
then,
but
what
Buxton
was
hugely
helpful
on
was
in
the
things
that
we
did,
what
at
the
springs
and
a
few
others
in
the
downtown,
but
the
the
high-tech
programs
that
they
sold
us
never
really
deliver.
So
you
know
I
can't
this
is
a
new
thing,
and
this
might
be
great
and.
A
I,
don't
have
the
proposal
in
front
of
me
so
I
can't
say
if
we
can,
you
know,
have
just
port
if
it's
portioned
out
so
there's
a
portion
for
the
high
tech
services,
the
creepy
Big
Brother
stuff
that
we
don't
want.
There's
a
portion
for
the
food,
the
grocery
store
receipts
that
were
more
and
I
mean
I.
Think
we
just
need
to
parse
that
out
more
for
the.
H
E
A
Really
still
interested
in
that
proposal,
especially
in
talking
to
people
who
have
developed
retail
in
Palm,
Springs
and
learning
that
the
numbers
and
the
data
don't
provide
for
the
need
and
enough
itself,
even
though
those
of
us
on
the
ground
know
that
there's
the
need,
so
I
am
still
interested
in
keeping
this
and
moving
it
forward.
I'm
sorry.
H
F
H
H
A
A
H
C
A
C
They
contacted
and
reached
out
to
the
food
bank
to
help
us
or
to
allow
us
to
help
them
analyze
from
our
perspective
and
the
work
that
we've
been
doing
in
the
desert
community
for
over
35
years.
Now,
the
analysis
with
regards
to
not
just
the
data,
but
also
what
we
have
seen
realistically,
that
sometimes
the
data
doesn't
show
and
as
we
started,
working
with
them
on
it
and
having
the
conversations
with
them
on
it.
C
The
desert
highlands
community,
which
is
the
community
we're
specifically
talking
about,
is
in
fact
meeting
the
criteria
of
what
we
see
as
a
food
desert
community.
A
lot
of
people
don't
realize
that
there's
actually
many
factors
that
go
into
what
we
would
consider
a
food
desert.
Some
of
it
you've
talked
about
already
around
the
table,
not
that
creepy
factor
with
regards
to
credit
cards.
C
We're
looking
at
radiuses
around
the
community
with
regards
to
the
accessibility
of
either
public
transportation,
walking
distance,
utilizing
bikes
or
walk
or
utilizing
cars
without
having
to
use
too
much
gas
in
order
to
get
there.
Because,
as
many
of
you
know
and
I
know,
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
has
been
doing
a
lot
with
regards
to
understanding
the
socio-economic
factors
and
all
those
things
that
lie
around
food
insecurity
and
homelessness.
C
So
you
know
that
gas
and
the
ability
to
get
to
and
from
places
can
completely
Drive
the
way
in
which
a
household
can
function
and
whether
or
not
they
have
enough
resources
to
be
able
to
get
their
basic
needs.
For
instance,
if
a
community
has
to
drive
over
three
miles
just
to
get
to
the
grocery
store,
it's
six
miles,
roundtrip,
which
means
that
they're,
using
depending
on
their
vehicle,
approximately
a
half
gallon
to
a
gallon
of
gas,
which
means
that
this
price
four
dollars
a
gallon
is
quite
a
lot
for
somebody.
That's
already
struggling
economically.
C
When
we
also
looked
at
the
other
economic
factors
that
are
typically
used
with
a
food
bank
to
determine
poverty
levels,
we
don't
just
use
standard
poverty
level
of
the
government
we
adjust
for
the
state
of
California
I,
just
came
from
the
San
Francisco
Bay
Area
in
the
San
Francisco
Bay
Area
they're,
adjusting
to
about
two
hundred
and
thirty
percent
of
the
poverty
level.
In
order
to
be
able
to
accommodate
for
the
cost
of
living
here
in
the
desert.
C
We're
adjusting
at
about
a
hundred
and
eighty
percent
of
federal
poverty
level
for
a
family
of
four
when
we
looked
at
the
desert,
Highlands
community
demographics,
which
is
a
little
bit
skewed,
because
if
you're
looking
at
census
tract
data,
it's
incorporating
those
other
outer
lying
areas
that
can
boost
the
average
income
up,
even
though
they're
not
necessarily
affected
in
the
same
way
that
desert
highlands
is
but
when
we're
using
that
census
tract
data.
That,
of
course,
is
skewed
up.
C
We're
still
tracking
at
about
seventy
one
percent
that
are
at
about
a
hundred
and
eighty
percent,
a
federal
poverty
level,
which
means
that
it
could
potentially
be
higher.
If
we
looked
at
just
that
community
alone,
plus
the
apartment
complexes
that
are
across
the
street,
that
weren't
tracked
within
the
data
that
were
there
so
you're
looking
at
about
plus
four
hundred
households.
That
could
be
that
I,
wouldn't
even
say,
could
be
that
we're
identifying
as
a
need
of
food
insecure,
but
don't
have
the
resources
around
them
to
be
able
to
easily
access
food
resources.
C
The
other
thing
that
we're
looking
at
to
you
as
well,
when
it
looks
when
we
look
at
food
deserts
and
the
potential
of
food
insecurity
and
the
facts
that
it
could
have
with
regards
to
homelessness,
because
a
lot
of
people
right
now
I've
been
doing
a
lot
of
research
on
homelessness.
We've
been
part
of
the
desert
health
care
district
conversations
with
some
of
the
focus
groups.
As
you
know,
the
food
bank,
we
serve
about
85,000
people
throughout
the
desert
regions,
primarily
in
the
Coachella
Valley.
C
Usually
when
you
have
food
desert
areas,
a
lot
of
the
houses
are
rental
houses,
in
this
case,
there's
about
50%
of
the
houses
that
are
rental
houses
in
the
desert.
Highlands
community,
it's
for
for
us.
We
know
when
people
are
at
about
that
poverty
level,
they're,
making
choices
between
having
to
buy
food
versus
paying
for
rent.
C
Then
you
tack
on
the
inaccessibility
in
the
food
desert
area
because
they
don't
have
easy
access
to
it
in
order
to
get
it
and
now
you're
really
putting
people
into
a
stress
situation
where
they're
having
to
choose
between
one
or
the
other,
so
food
bank
actually
comes
in
not
just
as
food
insecurity,
prevention,
we're
also
homelessness
prevention
too,
because
at
a
certain
point
you
can
only
pay
for
rent.
So
much
before
you
end
up
starving
and
you're
going
to
have
to
switch
over
to
see.
C
C
Yes,
absolutely,
and
so
so.
Basically,
what
that
is
is
this:
we
have
mobile
pantries
and
we're
doing
about
19
mobile
pantries
now
in
the
area,
and
we
have
the
potential.
We
have
the
capability
to
be
able
to
do
more,
but
we're
very
specific
about
the
areas
that
we
bring
them
to,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
strategically
placing
them
so
that
whoever
is
supporting
us
with
that
the
funding
is
being
utilized
to
the
best
of
its
ability
for
the
populations
that
are
most
in
need.
C
The
desert
islands
community
is
one
of
those
areas
that
we've
identified,
that
we
could
strategically
place
and
have
a
win-win
situation,
not
just
for
food
Bangor,
City
Council
but,
most
importantly,
the
clients
that
are
living
there.
Already,
a
mobile
pantry
would
look
like
us
loading
up
our
mobile
pantry
truck,
bringing
it
into
the
community
once
a
month
for
about
four
nine
months,
so
September
through
May
and
distributing
about
30
pounds
of
food
per
family.
For
whoever
comes.
C
We
estimate
in
this
area
based
on
the
statistics
that
we
have
with
our
other
mobile
pantries
with
an
area
of
about
400
households.
We
factor
maybe
about
200
households
will
be
able
to
come
and
then
sometimes
we've
seen
on
grows
as
high
as
250
to
300,
which
we
have
the
capacity
to
serve
in
the
summertime.
There's
a
lot
of
kids
in
that
area
too,
as
well.
The
average
age
in
that
neighborhood
is
about
40
and
the
average
amount
of
people
is
about
3.1
9
in
the
household,
which
means
that
they
have
kids
in
the
summertime.
C
We
would
need
help
funding
it.
You
know
we
are
a
nonprofit
organization
for
everything
that
we
do.
We
have
to
fundraise
the
money
for
it,
and
so
we're
always
constantly
looking
for
strong
partners
that
have
the
ability
to
sustainably
help
us
until
there's
other
options
for
the
community
to
be
able
to.
You
know,
move
and
transition
to
to
be
more
self-reliant.
With
regards
to
that,
it
could
be
the
research
that
you're
doing
to
bring
in
a
grocery
store.
It
could
be
doing
so
long.
C
C
C
And
we
would
definitely
work
with
the
community
too,
as
well
to
make
sure
that
the
advertising,
the
volunteers
we
would
need
volunteers,
but
typically
the
communities
they
supply
the
volunteers
because
they're
very
receptive
to
mobile
pantry
coming
in
because
they
know
it's
supporting
all
of
them.
That's
great.
This.

In
the
budget
for
next
week
on
this,
just
so
it's
there.
I
also
have
no
doubt
that
between
the
subcommittee
we
can
probably
through
philanthropy
get
that
replaced
for
I.
Think
there
are
donors
who
we
could
reach
out
to,
but
I
don't
want
us
not
to
do
this.
While
we
try
and
raise
the
money
I
want
to
first.
Do
it
and
then
get
that
donated
back
to
the
city.
If
we
can
and.
C
C
A
And
I
know
we
have
people
who
are
longtime
residents
of
desert
Highlands
here
today,
so
we
don't
mean
to
talk
about
people
while
they're
not
at
the
table.
So
maybe
we
can
head
up
after
the
meeting.
We
have
a.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
time
left,
but
maybe
we
can
connect
after
this
meeting
all
together
and
we
can
talk
about
having
community
input
in
that
proposal,
which
I
think
would
be
really
important
and
then
my
other
question
is,
if
there's
grant
funding
available.
C

L

I'll
cover
my
points
really
quickly,
but
I
think
it's
important
to
celebrate
what
this
city
has
done
with
a
local
business,
and
you
guys
talked
earlier
about
what
type
of
incentive
programs
can
we
put
together
to
make
a
difference?
Well,
I'm
going
to
take
us
back
to
the
turn
of
the
century.
It's
hard
to
believe
that
2000s,
the
turn
of
the
century
I
still
think
of
19,
but
it's
the
turn
of
the
millennium
and
David
things
were
not
as
rosy
in
Palm
Springs
as
they
may
be.
Today.
L
In
fact,
plies
of
Motors,
which
is
now
just
a
bottle,
Plaza
had
vacated
the
city.
Businesses
were
were
fleeing,
the
city
and
our
desire
working
with
the
city
leaders,
was
to
develop
a
Auto
Center
on
East
Palm
Canyon.
That
would
be
an
economic
anchor
for
the
city
of
Palm
Springs,
and
so
we
we
worked
on
a
program
in
January
of
2000.
We
kept
entered
into
an
agreement
and
the
first
phase
was
was
a
redevelopment
of
the
BMW
and
Mercedes
properties
there
on
the
409
five
and
3919
East
Palm
Canyon,
and
that
was
tremendously
successful.
L
L
L
In
2011
we
formed
Palm
Springs
Hyundai,
recently
Palm
Springs
era.
Hyundai
has
carved
out
their
luxury
brand
Genesis
and
we
were
the
first
Genesis
dealer
in
California
we've
added
Mercedes,
Sprinter
vans
and
we've
gotten
a
special
dispensation
to
represent
their
AMG
performance
products
because
of
the
cachet
and
the
reputation
of
Palm
Springs.
They
don't
just
let
every
dealership
do
that
so,
but
all
of
that
growth
has
has
brought
us
today
where
we
want
to
grow,
need
to
grow
and
we
don't
have
any
space
to
grow
we've.
L
Our
success
is
our
biggest
challenge
now,
and
so
my
request
to
the
city
to
the
subcommittee,
as
as
you,
in
your
wisdom,
seek
to
continue.
These
types
of
programs
is
that
we
amend
and
extend
our
agreement.
Our
financial
assistance
and
responsibilities
for
maintaining
businesses
in
the
city
is
up
with
the
next
calendar
year,
so
our
final
payment
will
be
due.
Then
I
would
ask
that
we
just
keep
a
good
thing
going.
L
This
was
in
2000
we're
coming
up
into
2020,
so
a
20
year
program,
I
celebrate
the
success
and
the
wisdom
of
the
city
leaders
back
in
2000,
not
that
everything
we've
done
over
the
past
20
years
have
been
good,
because
we've
all
made
some
mistakes,
but
this
was
not
one
of
them
and
I.
Don't
see
a
reason
why
we
shouldn't
keep
a
good
thing
going.
Thank.

The
other
item
to
economic
development
resources
as
no
particular
urgency.
However,
as
we
talk
about
opportunities
to
identify
more
funds,
be
more
aggressive,
we
haven't
really
had
the
opportunity
to
talk
about
the
new
resources
that
are
available,
such
as
enhanced
infrastructure
financing
districts,
new
market
tax
credits,
who
has
come
to
the
city
with
ideas
for
it.
E
A
It's
a
long
conversation
so
I'd
like
to
add
it
as
a
presentation
for
the
next
meeting,
and
we
are
just
saying
we
should
probably
have
another
meeting
next
month
instead
of
waiting
two
months,
because
we
have
so
much
to
do
as
an
aside
I
I
met
with
a
staff
member
from
I
Bank
who
actually
invests
the
state.
You
probably
are
more
familiar
with
I
bank
but
invest
in
these
districts
for
infrastructure
and
things
that
businesses
might
need
to
start
there.
A
H
We'll
work
with
staff
to
try
and
schedule
we'll
have
our
regular
scheduled
meeting
I
guess
in
July
the
second
Tuesday,
but
also
look
at
potential.
If
we
should
do
a
June
meeting
on
some
of
these
things,
that
just
are
more
in-depth
and
limited
to
two
or
three
things
that
we
really
have
to
have
longer.
Discussions
on
what.
D
H
Talked
about
we're
gonna
do
a
fall,
Town
Hall
like
we
did
last
year,
so
we
just
need
to
pick
a
day.
So
what
we
can
do
is
also,
in
the
meantime,
work
with
Christine
and
our
office
on
a
couple
options
and
we'll
send
it
out
to
the
organization's
to
make
sure
the
organization's
can
attend,
and
then
we
can
get
that
solidified,
because
you
know
most
of
the
business
communities
here
in
September.
Wait!
I,
don't
think
we
need
to
wait
to
over,
but
we
didn't
want
to
in
August,
because
that's
just
too
many
people
are
gone.
A
Members
of
the
public,
if
you'd
like
to
be
added
to
the
notice
list,
if
you
want
to
get
emails,
if
we
change
the
meeting
or
schedule
the
meeting,
you
can
let
Jane
know
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
and
we'll
add
you
to
that:
okay,
any
other
items
so
we'll
just
go
to
subcommittee
member
comments.
Announcements!
If
you
have.
