Everybody
so
denise
is
sick,
so
she's
not
gonna,
be
attending.
Okay,.
A
E
D
And
hugo,
are
you
prepared
to,
or
can
you
be
prepared
to
be
the
one
to
read
the
proclamation.
A
It's
clear:
there's!
No
one
in
there
hey.
D
How
about
that
I
don't
know
this
is
pretty
good
and
lily.
I
don't
see
your
face
yet,
and
I
see
your
muted
if
you
didn't
get
my
email.
Thank
you
for
being
a
backup.
If
you
did
get
the
email
and
ella
has
confirmed
that
she
will
do
the
reading
today.
Okay,
all
right,
jay!
Well
we're
right
we're
ready
to
go.
Are
you.
A
Ready,
yes,
I
do
want
to
let
you
know
mr
chair
city
attorney
is
here
also
for
the
discussion
on
the
committee
structures.
So
oh
excellent,
mr
jeff
ballinger.
D
A
Yes,
commissioner
loyola.
A
Presidency
there
david
thank
you,
commissioner
cleary.
A
D
So
that
means
I
don't
have
to
read
the
paragraph
right.
That's
correct!
Okay,
no
public
comments.
We
will
move
on
to
item
six
a
and
that
is
recognition
of
service
and
the
individual
we're
recognizing
is
ill
today.
D
So
she
let
me
know
just
a
few
minutes
ago
that
she
was
not
going
to
be
able
to
join
us,
but
in
her
absence
I
just
would
like
to
have
the
the
full
commission
join
me
in
singing
the
praise
of
vice
chappelle
for
her
six
years
of
dedication
and
service
to
the
human
rights
commission.
For
the
city
of
palm
springs.
D
She
was
a
true
warrior
for
her
entire
term
of
service
and
there
was
never
an
activity
or
issue
that
she
would
shy
away
from
addressing
and
she
was
always
one
of
the
first
to
raise
her
hand
when
something
needed
to
be
done
over
her
term
of
service,
and
she
was
an
excellent
mentor
when
I
first
started
on
the
commission,
so
we
will
wish
denise
well
and
jay
and
annie
helped
us
and
coordinated
getting
a
very
nice
plaque
in
recognition
of
her
service
that
was
sent
to
denise
prior
to
our
meeting
today.
D
And
she
let
me
know
that
she
is
going
to
proudly
hang
it
on
her
office
wall
and,
if
any
of
you
saw
her
background
in
her
office
wall,
she
was
a
a
human
rights
commission,
honoree,
seven
or
eight
years
ago,
and
you
could
see
that
certificate
hanging
very
proudly
behind
her
in
her
office.
So
I
know
she's
going
to
hang
this
plaque
with
distinction.
So
congratulations
and
thank
you.
Vice
chair,
chappelle,
former
vice
chair
chappelle,
and
we
wish
you
well
in
your
next
endeavors.
D
Next.
We've
got
conversation
and
information
about
standing
committee,
meeting
notice
requirements
and
that's
where
we
have
city
attorney
jeff
beliger
with
us
to
to
share,
I
believe
or
do
jeff.
Are
you
gonna
just
give
us
the
background
on
this.
A
Mr
chair,
why
don't
I
open
it
up
and
give
city
attorney?
Ballinger
sort
of
a
runway
here
sounds
good
commissioners.
As
you
know,
we
have
quite
a
few
committees
and
it
has
been
brought
to
my
attention
that
these
committees
are
legislative
bodies
and
are
required
to
follow
the
brown
act
in
terms
of
public
meetings
and
public
notices.
A
So
you
know,
as
you
can
imagine,
with
all
the
committees
we
have,
you
may
be
having
meetings
on
meetings,
but
we
do
want
to
have
this
item
for
some
discussion
and
then
possibly
bring
it
back
for
action
at
a
at
a
future
meeting,
as
we
discuss
the
structure
of
the
commission
and
the
goals
and
various
things
that
we're
already
doing
so,
city
attorney
ballinger
is
here
to
provide
us
with
some
options
and
alternatives
on
in
terms
of
what
we
can
do.
A
We
can
continue
to
do
what
we're
doing
and
just
post
and
and
notice
the
meetings
and
have
them
public,
but
I
think
you
know
it
potentially
changes
the
way
we've
been
operating
so
how's
that
jeff.
E
Yep,
thank
you
jay.
So
again,
thank
you
for
having
me
I'll,
try
and
keep
this
short.
So
under
the
brown
act,
you
all
are
a
legislative
body,
and
so
you
know
your
meetings
are
subject
to
the
brown
act
need
to
be
noticed
and
open
to
the
public.
The
brown
act
also
says
that
standing
committees
of
a
legislative
body
are
themselves
legislative
bodies.
E
Then
the
brown
act
distinguishes
between
standing
committees
and
what
are
called
ad
hoc
committees,
and
the
brownex
says
that
a
standing
committee
is
a
committee
that
kind
of
has
long-term
or
perpetual
jurisdiction
over
something.
So
a
lot
of
times,
you'll
have
maybe
a
finance
committee
or
a
executive
committee.
E
Those
types
of
things
that
go
on
kind
of
in
perpetuity.
An
ad
hoc
committee
is
something
separate
and
is
not
subject
to
the
brown
act.
An
ad
hoc
committee
is
something
that's
just
created,
maybe
for
a
short
time
period,
just
to
deal
with
a
specific
issue.
So
maybe
the
city
council
is
looking
to
hire
a
new
city
manager
or
build
a
new
fire
station,
or
you
you
as
a
commissioner
looking
to
work
on
a
specific
project.
E
That's
kind
of
limited
in
in
time
you
you
could
then
create
an
ad
hoc
committee
and
as
long
as
it's
consists
just
of
members
of
this
commission
less
than
a
quorum
of
this
commission,
and
it
only
makes
recommendations.
In
other
words,
it
doesn't
have
authority
to
make
a
final
decision,
and
that
is
considered
an
ad
hoc
committee
and
is
not
subject
to
the
brown
act.
E
So
what
we
discovered
in
going
through
minutes
and
notes
of
this
commission
is
that
we
have
a
number
of
standing
committees
and,
as
jay
mentioned,
if
we
continue
with
those
standing
committees,
then
they
will
be
subject
to
the
brown
act
and
will
need
to
post
notice
and
they'll
be
open
to
the
public.
E
And
so
the
question
really
for
the
commission
is:
do
we
want
to
continue
with
all
of
those
or
some
of
those
commit
committees?
Do
we
want
to
narrow
those?
Do
we
want
to
kind
of
work
more
on
an
ad
hoc
committee
basis
just
on
specific
issues
as
they
arise,
and
there
are
other
ways
to
to
you
know
have
have
commissioners
involved
in
things.
E
Some
legislative
bodies
will
kind
of
recognize
that
one
or
two
of
the
commission
members
have
a
particular
area
of
expertise
or
interest
and
so
they'll
be
kind
of
a
liaison
to
staff
for
the
public
and
they
don't
necessarily
have
meetings
in
the
sense
of
a
committee
having
a
meeting
but
jay
or
other
staff
or
members
of
the
public
kind
of
recognize
that
those
are
the
one
or
two
commissioners
who
have
a
particular
area
of
interest
or
expertise
in
that
area,
and
so
they'll
they'll
be
kind
of
the
go-to
liaisons.
E
For
that
particular
issue,
I've
seen
some
cities
work
work
under
that
model
or
you
could
have
a
combination.
You
could
have
standing
committees,
you
could
have
liaisons
and
you
could
have
ad
hoc
committees,
you
can
you
can
really
kind
of
mix
and
match?
However,
whatever
works
for
you
just
recognizing
that
having
standing
committees
does
create
some
obligations
on
the
part
of
staff
with
having
to
prepare
the
agenda
post,
it
make
sure
the
meeting
is
public
and
and
so
that
you
know
that
that
does
have
impacts
to
staff.
B
I
had
one
question
for
jeff,
so
what
what
would
it
take
to
either
dissolve.
E
E
We're
assuming
that
these
committees
were
were
treated
somewhat
informally,
probably
by
motion
or
just
consensus
of
this
commission,
and
so
it
wouldn't
take
anything
more
than
a
motion.
If
we,
if
we
brought
it
forward
a
future
item
to
dissolve
a
standing
committee,
that's
all
that
it
takes
thanks.
D
So
jeff
a
question
on
a
committee
that
may
have
a
conversation
four
times
a
year
and
specifically
I'm
looking
at
our
youth
committee,
which
aren't
designated
voters
of
the
commission.
Does
that
still
fall
under
brown
act
when
we're
coordinating
with
youth
service
on
the
commission
working
to
get
information
into
schools?
That
type
of
thing.
E
I
think
if
we
were,
I
think
we,
if
we've
designated
you
know
a
couple
of
the
commissioners
and
maybe
members
of
the
public
as
the
as
the
people
who
do
that
and
it
happens
on
a
recurring
basis
every
year,
then
I
think
that
would
qualify
as
a
standing
committee
notwithstanding
the
fact
that
it
only
meets
maybe
four
times
a
month.
I
mean
quite
honestly
a
lot
of
times.
E
Finance
committees
of
city
councils
will
only
meet
a
couple
of
times
around
budget
time,
but
the
fact
that
it's
recurring
every
year
and
kind
of
lasts
a
long
time.
That's
what
what
makes
it
a
standing
committee.
Unfortunately,
the
brown
act
doesn't
set
any
specific
time
period,
but
generally
most
most
municipal
lawyers
say
maybe
a
year
or
two.
If
it's
longer
than
that,
then
it's
probably
a
standing
committee.
A
Jeff
that
stands
even
if
they
are
not
voting
members.
E
E
If
you
create
that
even
by
you
know
a
motion
or
resolution,
then
that
is
considered
the
legislative
body
under
the
brown
act
and
so
the
only
time
that
the
only
time
that
it
matters
who
it
is
is
in
order
to
qualify
for
the
ad
hoc
committee
exception.
It
has
to
be
just
members
of
this
commission.
E
D
B
E
It
doesn't
have
to
under
the
brown
act.
Normally
you
know
good
governance
would
say.
If
you're
going
to
create
a
committee,
you
want
to
kind
of
give
it
a
task
and
give
it
some
sort
of
a
road
map
in
terms
of
what
it's
supposed
to
be
doing
so
that
it
doesn't
go
off
and
you
know
start
doing
things
that
the
main
legislative
legislative
body
didn't
want
it
to
do.
But
under
the
brown
act,
no
it
doesn't.
It
doesn't
distinguish
between
the
two.
Okay
thanks.
A
Commissioners,
I
would
also
add,
later
on,
our
agenda
is
a
matrix
for
looking
at
the
focus
for
the
commission.
This
is
something
the
city
manager's
office
requested,
and
they
want
to
bring
this
to
the
city
council.
So
we'll
be
looking
at
that,
and
I
don't
know
if
that
changes
your
perspective
on
the
the
the
breadth
of
work.
The
commission's
doing
in
terms
of
I
think
what
they're
going
for
is
maybe
being
a
little
more
focused
so
I'll
just
add
that
before
we
get
into
that
section
of
our
agenda.
E
D
So
with
that
information
instead
of
you
know
going
through
one
by
one
here
in
this
moment,
my
suggestion
is
that
when
we
get
into
item
9
that
will
bring
up
a
thought
on
what
what
step
we
may
want
to
take
with
that
particular
committee
or
the
committee's
work,
and
we
can
go
through
them
as
we
would.
You
know
any
other
week,
one
by
one.
So
if
everybody,
okay
with
going
that
direction,
okay,
I
see
heads
nodding.
So
we
take
that
as
consensus.
D
We
will
move
on
to
item
seven
and
item
seven
we're
gonna.
Commissioner
lowell
is
going
to
give
us
an
introduction
of
item
7a
hispanic
heritage
month.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
We
had
the
opportunity
to
bring
this
proclamation
of
hispanic
hispanic
heritage
month
to
to
present,
and
obviously
the
first
thing
was
that
this
is
a
celebration
nationally
and
that
there's
a
significant
amount
of
hispanic
members
of
our
community
who
are
of
hispanic
descent
and
that
our
city
would
be
remiss
if
we
didn't
have
the
opportunity
to
bring
this
proclamation
forward.
C
So
we
spent
a
couple
of
hours
researching
our
data,
our
statistics,
thinking
about
what
would
be
some
of
the
most
important
things
that
we
can
say
about
hispanic
heritage
and
also,
at
the
same
time,
engaging
with
a
few
of
our
community
members
who
are,
you
know
visible
whether
they're,
because
of
the
work
that
they've
done
or
also
because
of
their
community
service
and
invite
them
to
join
us
in
the
reading
of
the
proclamation.
C
D
So
please
start
reading
the
from
the
very
beginning.
D
And
everybody
has
this
in
your
packet,
so
you
could
follow
along,
but
for
those
that
may
be
watching,
you
can
follow
along
on
the
screen
once
we
get
it
shared.
A
Okay,
oh
here
we
go.
C
My
apologies,
maybe
if
we
all
sh
just
follow
along
with
our
documents,
as
I
am
unable
to
share
my
screen.
C
C
They
contribute
to
our
community
in
countless
ways,
including
having
positive
economic,
social
and
political
political
impacts,
and
whereas
hispanic
americans
embody
the
best
of
our
american
values,
including
commitment
to
faith
family
and
to
our
country,
brave
hispanic.
Americans
protect
us
and
have
served
proudly
and
bravely
in
all
branches
of
our
nation's
military.
Since
1861.
C
hispanic
americans
work
in
industries
that
are
essential
to
the
continuous
growth
and
prosperity
of
our
economy,
including
construction
and
manufacturing,
retail
food
and
hospitality,
healthcare
and
social
services,
transportation
and
warehousing
and
residential
and
commercial
services.
Among
many
others,
and
whereas
most
students
graduating
from
college
in
palm
springs,
are
hispanic
or
latino,
with
a
large
number
of
degrees
awarded
to
licensed
practical
and
vocational
nurse
training,
nurse
assistant
and
patient
care
assistant,
medical
assistant
and
home
health
a
and
whereas
we
are
proud
of
the
mexican
heritage.
C
Diverse
mexican-american,
chicano,
latino,
spanish,
latinx
or
hispanic
cultures
are
essential
to
defining
the
unique
culture
represented
by
our
community
members
residing
within
the
city
of
palm
springs
now,
therefore,
being
resolved.
We,
the
underside
members
of
the
palm
springs
city
council,
do
care
by
proclaiming
september
15
to
october
15
2021
as
hispanic
heritage
month
in
palm
springs
and
encourage
all
residents
to
celebrate
the
rich
culture,
heritage,
diversity
and
achievement
of
hispanic
and
latino
americans
and
go
forward
every
day
recognizing
their
contributions
in
the
great
city
of
palm
springs
being
resolved.
C
This
celebration
serves
as
an
opportunity
to
dispel
ignorance,
prejudice
and
fear
through
education
with
about
multiculturalism
and
the
resilience
and
history
of
the
countless
contributions
of
hispanic
and
latino
identified
communities.
Be
it
further
result.
The
city
of
palm
springs
encourages
and
promotes
strong
and
inclusive
communities,
and
is
committed
to
recognizing
and
celebrating
efforts
to
bring
people
together
for
a
greater
good.
D
Very
nicely
done,
thank
you
for
reading
that
it
certainly
was
not
a
short
proclamation
and
you
did
a
great
job.
So
thank
you.
D
Do
we
is.
Is
there
any
questions
or
discussion
that
we'd
like
to
enter
into.
D
That
I
I
would
make
just
one
note
or
actually
I
think,
commissioner
loyola,
if
you
would
like
to
move
we'll,
entertain
a
motion
to
adopt
this
resolution
and
then
we
can
have
discussion
and
then
I
will
make
some
comments.
Okay,
so.
D
You
you
you
move
to
for
the
human
rights
commission
to
adopt
this
resolution.
You
know
for
presentation
on
october
15th
versus
september.
C
B
D
D
A
Double
check
that
I
don't
want
to
say
that,
but
I
I
I
I'm
pretty
sure
mayor
holstead
rather
read
the
resolution.
D
Oh
excellent:
well,
thank
you
for
for
coordinating
that
jay.
I
didn't
know
it
was
going
to
be
able
to
to
get
in
front
of
them
all
right
with
that.
Why
don't?
We
just
have
a
friendly
amendment
to
the
motion
that
if
council
has
not
adopted
the
resolution,
we
substitute
in
the
resolution
where
it
says
city
council
to
say
the
palm
springs
human
rights
commission
and
we
make
that
change
in
both
instances
where
it
references,
city,
council
and
no
change
will
be
required.
D
Commissioner
loyola
yep,
yes,
okay,
excellent,
so
all
in
favor
of
adopting
the
resolution,
as
stated
with
with
the
amendments,
if
necessary,
please
signify
by
saying
hi
all
right.
D
All
right,
excellent!
Well,
thank
you
for
that
and
thank
you,
commissioner
loyola
for
the
the
work
you
did
on
putting
that
together.
It's
very
much
appreciated.
I
think
we
probably
I'm
sorry.
I
lost
my
notes
here
for
a
minute.
I
I
don't
think
the
motions
said
that
we
were
going
to
present
it
with
with
community
members
and
city
council
member
garner
at
5
30
on
september
15th.
D
D
Donna
vice
chair
shepherd
some
moves.
Do
we
have
a
second.
D
Commissioner,
loyal
a
second
sentence:
all
in
favor
of
the
presentation
on
september
15th
at
5
30
via
zoom,
please
say:
aye
aye,
all
right
that
looks
unanimous,
no
opposition
and
no
abstentions.
There
excellent
well,
thank
you
for
that
and
we
will
work
with
jay
to
get
a
zoom
time
and
jay.
D
If
you
can
get
that
time
to
well
the
whole
commission,
but
to
commissioner
loyola
and
myself,
we
will
inform
the
other
participants
or
that
you
know
that
for
their,
so
they
can
come
in
and
participate
as
part
of
the
presentation.
Okay,.
A
Mr
chair,
I
actually
have
a
conflict.
We
have
a
public
arts
commission
meeting
at
that
time,
this
wednesday,
okay,
so
my
zoom
account
will
be
occupied.
D
All
right
well
we'll
we'll
court
you
and
I
can.
Let's
coordinate
that
with
other
folks
in
city
hall
and
we'll
figure
it
out.
E
D
Okay,
all
right,
thank
you
for
that
now
we
do
have
an
international
day
of
recognition
and
we
have
a
presentation
on
that
item.
It's
not
a
proclamation.
It's
just
a
presentation
and
our
student
representative
ella
cash
was
going
to
read
that
for
us.
E
October
17th
is
international
day
for
the
eradication
of
poverty
in
a
world
characterized
by
an
unprecedented
level
of
economic
development,
technological
means
and
financial
resources
that
millions
of
persons
are
living
in
extreme
poverty
is
a
moral
outrage.
Poverty
is
not
solely
an
economic
issue,
but
rather
a
multi-dimensional
phenomenon
that
encompasses
it
that
encompasses
a
lack
of
both
income
and
the
basic
capabilities
to
live
in
dignity.
E
E
Their
ability
to
contribute
positively
to
solutions
has
been
overlooked.
They
are
not
recognized
as
drivers
of
change
and
their
voices
are
not
heard,
especially
in
international
bodies.
This
must
change
the
participation,
knowledge
and
contributions
and
experience
of
people
living
in
poverty,
and
those
left
behind
must
be
valued,
respected
and
reflected
in
our
efforts
to
build
an
equitable
and
sustainable
world
in
which
there
is
social
and
environmental
justice
for
all.
D
D
D
B
Just
for
accuracy,
I
had
already
mentioned
to
jay
that.
Let
me
look
at
my
notes:
real
quick.
B
The
third
bullet
jay,
I
don't
think
I
welcomed
the
new
commissioners.
I
think
somebody
else
welcomed
the
new
commissioners,
because
I
wasn't
a
commissioner.
B
Maybe
I
inquired
about
community
assignments,
but
then
I
don't
think
I
was
the
one
that
wanted
to
see
the
commission
recognize
hispanic
heritage
month.
I
think
that
may
have
been
a
different
commissioner.
B
D
Okay,
the
motion
we
need
the
motion
restated
with
the
corrections
as
as
stated
by
commissioner
vignolo.
D
No,
so
commissioner
flood
is
making
the
motion
to
adopt
the
minutes
with
the
corrections,
as
noted
by
commissioner
flood
and
chair
of
the
heart,
to
to
jay
seconded
by
second.
I
second,
commissioner
robles,
thank
you
very
much
all
in
favor.
Yes,
yes,
yes,
commissioner,
yep,
okay,
unanimous!
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
for
that
sharp
eye.
Commissioner
vignola.
We
appreciate
that
next
up
is
item
nine,
and
this
is
the
time
when
we
report
items
of
discussion
in
action
in
the
last
meeting.
D
Maybe
the
last
two
meetings
we
haven't
really
been
going
line
by
line
unless
there
was
something
to
share
with
the
full
commission,
but
today
let's
go
through
line
by
line,
and
then
we
can
decide
how
we
shift
from
a
standing
committee
to
a
different
form
of
reporting
back
to
the
commission.
D
So
with
the
executive
report,
you
know
we
did
meet
maybe
a
week
and
a
half
ago
or
so-
and
this
is
certainly
a
committee
that
is,
is
a
standing
committee
in
all
sense
of
the
word.
D
So
until
we
know
that
this
committee
may
not
continue
to
meet,
I
think
we
need
to
accept
and
understand
that
the
executive
committee
will
continue
in
its
current
face
as
a
standing
committee
and
why
don't
we
just
go
through
and
we'll
agree
at
the
very
end,
and
if
there's
any
changes
then
we
can.
We
can
make
those
adjustments.
Okay,
next
up
is
the
community
relations
committee,
which
also
encompasses
budget
and
personnel.
D
I
would
suggest
that
the
outreach
committee
is
no
longer
a
committee
in
that
the
chair
to
heart
is
appointed
as
a
personal
liaison
to
the
palm
springs
police
department,
lgbt
outreach
group.
I
will
make
the
suggestion
that
commissioner
romeron
no
longer
is
appointed
as
a
committee.
D
Same
goes
with
main
street
that
chaired
to
heart,
serves
as
a
personal
liaison
with
main
street
and
for
finance
a
short-lived
appointment
for
commissioner
vignolo,
the
suggestion
there
would
be
that
finance
just
returns
to
the
entire
commission.
D
We
no
longer
will
have
a
finance
committee
unless
the
commission
wants
to
decide
when
it
comes
time
in
march
april,
when
we
typically
look
at
budget
that,
maybe
we
should.
We
form
ad
hoc
on
that
if,
if
needed,
but
I
think
our
our
budget
has
been
so
straightforward
that
it
could
be
something
that
the
entire
commission
can
deal
with
in
in
one
meeting.
D
Maybe
two
meetings
with
no
problem,
commissioner
vignolo
also
a
short-lived
appointment,
but
he,
the
suggestion,
would
be
for
commissioner
vignolo
to
serve
as
a
liaison
to
one
ps
and
share
any
information
of
note
to
the
whole
committee
based
on
his
link
to
one
ps:
do
we
is
everybody,
okay
with
those
as
we've
shared
them
up
to
this
point,
can
you.
E
D
We're
going
to
vote
at
the
end
of
this
meeting
to
disband
the
community
relations
committee
budget
and
personnel
committee
responsibilities
for
activities
that
previously
would
have
come
from
that
committee
are
no
longer
assigned
responsibilities
and
we're
shifting
to
just
have
liaisons
with
these
different
community
activities
or
or
organizations,
and
the
budget
process
is
now
going
to
be
a
full
commission
process,
not
a
committee
process
in
personnel,
we'll
get
we'll
personnel
we
actually
will
address
retreat
down
below,
but
yeah.
D
I
think
what
we're
doing
right
now,
commissioner
vignola,
is
we're
just
saying
that
we
will
not
have,
or
we
will
have
certain
standing
committees
and
in
this
instance,
the
community
relations
committee
budget
personnel
are
easily
shifted
to.
D
You
know,
get
rid
of
that
standing
committee
and
let
our
commissioners
serve
their
role
as
commissioners
in
the
community
with
organizations
that
they
have
affinity
with
already
and
and
if
we
find
ourselves
in
a
position
where
we
don't
have
a
commissioner
who
has
an
affinity
with
a
particular
community,
you
know
outreach
entity
that
we
would
like
to
have.
We
will
then
ask
around
on
the
commission:
is
there
anybody
that?
D
May
you
know
have
that
kind
of
affinity,
but
I
think
this
this
this
committee
is
an
easy
one
for
us
to
reassign
folks
now
some
of
the
others
may
be
a
little
more
difficult
based
off
of
your
questioning.
D
Thank
you
so
the
cultural
affairs
committee.
You
know
we
really
have
with
this
committee.
We
really
have
only
focused
on
desert,
highland
gateway
estates
and
and
and
that
this
has
been
for
years
that
we've
we've
had
commissioners
pledge
to
attend
those
meetings
to
to
to
be
aware
of
what's
happening
in
the
community
and
then
share
back
to
the
commission.
D
D
You
know
to
you
know
to
let
our
personal,
our
liaisons
flood,
shepard
and
andrade.
You
know
attend
those
meetings
and
and
just
share.
You
know
what
they
learned
back
with
the
commission.
D
Mr
chair,
I
I
agree
with
that
100
because
I
I
personally
have
not
been
able
to
attend
every
meeting,
but
I
did
consider
myself
a
liaison
mainly
because
of
proximity
where
I
live
and
and
some
of
the
people
I've
met
personally
and
felt
like
that.
I
could
communicate
better
and
show
him
my
face
and
representing
the
commission.
So
I
agree
with
that
being
a
liaison,
I
think
I'm
not
sure
about
the
other
two
commissioners,
but
every
chance
I
get.
D
I
try
to
be
a
part
of
what's
going
on
in
that
sure,
and
I
see
vice
chair
nodding
up
and
down,
and
I
think
the
other
thing
that
this
may
allow
us
to
do.
We
know
you
know.
If
you
look
around
the
table
of
the
commissioners,
we
do
have
association
with
many
other
groups
in
the
community
outside
of
the
desert
island
gateway
estate.
So
I
think
this
allows
us
to
you
know
to
let
each
of
the
commissioners
share
their.
D
You
know
their
experiences
out
in
the
community
when
we
have
those
updates
at
a
regular
commission
meeting
and
and
we'll
be
able
to
share
more
information
about
more
community
organizations.
Okay
senior,
the
next
item.
The
the
next
subcommittee
seniors,
are
standing
committee,
seniors
people
with
disabilities
veteran
affairs
committee.
D
That
too,
is
is
one
that
I
think
would
be
very
easy
for
us
to
no
longer
classify
it
as
a
standing
committee.
But
since
commissioner
flood,
as
for
the
years
he's
been
on,
the
commission
has
been
a
liaison
on
veterans
issues,
and
we
just
appointed
the
commissioner
vignolo
that
we
invite
them
to
continue
to
both
serve
as
liaisons,
and
you
know
whether
it's
vfw
dav,
you
know
activities
or
veterans
for
peace
whatever
it
might
be.
D
You
know
bring
that
knowledge
back
to
the
commission
on
happenings
in
the
community
and
we
feel
good
okay,
youth,
education,
affairs
committee.
This
is
a
different
one
that
I'm
not
sure
how
we
best
handle
it
based
off
of
what
city
attorney
shared
with
us.
D
I'm
not
sure
we
can
get
away
with
or
not
get
away
if
we
can
shift
it
from
a
standing
committee
to
ad
hoc,
because
to
my
understanding
it
would
not
fit
under
an
ad
hoc
and
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
just
have
it
as
a
liaison
with
one
commissioner
who's.
The
liaison
with
appointed
students
am
I
understanding.
Is
that
a
correct
understanding?
Does
everybody
have
that.
B
A
Can
I
ask
how
often
the
committee
meets
with.
D
Ella
and
lily,
I
I
don't
think
they
they
really
need
it
all.
There's
just
maybe
a
couple
emails
or
conversations
that
you've
had
with
vice
chair
japel.
Is
that
correct?
D
If
that,
so
there
we
really
haven't,
had
organized
students
and
ella
and
lily
are
the
first
ones
that
we've
had
solid
for
you
know
for
a
couple
years
right
and.
D
Even
when
students
were
on
before
jay,
there
was
not
an
organized
regular
meeting,
it
was
a
recruitment
process
and
then
the
students
would
attend
the
meetings
and
share
insights
of
you
know.
You
know
what
what's
happening
within
their
school
or
activities,
they're
involved
in.
A
The
only
concern
I
would
have
is
that,
if,
if
the
emails
amongst
the
three
members
continues,
that
would
actually
be
a
brown
act
violation
so
it
by
making
some
kind
of
a
modification
to
the
structure
that
might
kind
of
relieve
the
burden
of
that
brown
act
requirement
and
enable
the
communication
to
continue
as
a
group
that
is
not
not
a
quorum.
D
F
D
B
B
I
think
that's
an
important
element
of
its
charter.
If
you
will,
if
I'm.
E
E
I
was
just
about
to
suggest
the
same
thing,
but
also
reaching
out
to
local
nonprofits
like
the
boys
and
girls
club.
They
have
a
huge
teen
program
that
they
do
social
justice
stuff.
They
get
grants
for
stuff
like
this
and
they
look
for
community
partnerships.
This
would
be
a
really
good
opportunity.
I
think,
to
have
to
kind
of
bring
them
into
that
just
because
they're
kind
of
looking
for
that
outreach-
and
I
think,
by
staying
as
a
standing
committee,
and
we
do
meetings
and
forms
with
them.
E
I
see
my
name
has
been
attached
to
this
group
now
that
our
former
vice
chair
has
has
gone,
and
I
agree
with
what
you
said:
kalina
and
and
everybody,
but
if
I
would
like
to
find
a
way
to
make
their
role
on
the
commission,
maybe
a
little
bit
more
meaningful
a
little
bit
more
active
than
it
has
been
just
to
you
know,
keep
them
engaged
and
feeling
important.
E
I
really
appreciate
their
attendance,
but
we
haven't
had
too
many
actionable
items
or
or
things,
and
I
don't
want
to
go
down
a
dangerous
path
with
the
brown
act
or
anything.
But
I
would
like
to
you
know
kind
of
stimulate
their
participation
a
little
more
because
I
think
we
have
a
great
resource
there
that
I
don't
want
to
overlook.
D
Sure
so
I
it
seems
to
me,
like
we
may
have
consensus
that
the
youth
education
affairs
committee
should
remain
as
a
standing
committee
and
we
can
explore.
You
know
the
the
scope
of
which
this
committee
operates
under
through
the
year
and
but
this
is
definitely
one
that
we
need
to
continue
as
a
subcommittee.
So
it
can
be
explored
further
under
proper
brown
act,
observation
and
observing
those
guidelines.
E
D
Standing
committee
you
can,
and
vice
chair
you
inherited
that
role.
It
wasn't
one
that
you
volunteered
for.
D
But
but
it
you
know,
they're
they're,
if
one
of
the
newer
newer
commissioners
would
like
to
to
step
into
that
role,
you
know
kalina,
it
sounded
like
you
had
or
sorry,
commissioner
robles,
it
sounded
like
you
had.
You
know,
affinity
there,
commissioner,
big
noah,
you
have
affinity,
so
maybe
we
can,
you
know
just
look
at
it
and
maybe
explore
appointing
somebody
new.
E
I
don't
see
colina's
name
on
too
many
line
items
here
and
I
loved
her
ideas.
So
could
she
be
a
co-person
with
me
or
some
such
thing
until
she's
ready
to
take
it
on
herself
yeah
that
one
that
one?
Actually
I
can
you
know
I
can
take
it
and
fly
if
you
want
out
of
your
hands.
Actually
that
was
the
one
I
wanted.
I
think
my
email
was
left
in
the
drafts,
but
okay.
C
E
D
Thank
you
so
jay,
you
know
in
the
past
we
very
informally
have
assigned
commissioners.
Do
we
have
to
have
a
vote,
or
can
we
informally
continue
assigning
to
servant
as
either
liaisons
or
the
standing
committees.
A
I
that
that's
a
good
question.
I
I'm
actually
not
sure
if
it's,
if
it's
you
know
a
firm
part
of
the
commission
structure,
I
would
think
a
vote
would
be
necessary.
But
in
that
you
know
these
are
and
I've
well.
A
I've
seen
the
council
do
this
and
they
actually
assign
members
to
subcommittees
and
committees,
and
then
they
vote
on
it.
So
that
would
probably
be
the
safe
route
and
we
could
probably
agendize
it
and
do
all
this
at
the
next
meeting
as
we
clean
up
and
confirm
the
direction
we're
going
here.
A
I
do
want
to
say,
though,
that
vice
chair
shepard,
the
emails,
may
very
well
be
similar
to
the
emails
for
all
of
you,
where
we
ask
you
to
send
an
email
to
me
and
I
will
distribute
that
to
the
rest
of
the
group.
So
well,
you
know
we'll
it
just
sounds
really
restrictive,
but
you
know
we'll
we'll
see
how
it
goes.
D
D
The
next
one
is
the
commission
development
mediation
committee.
This
is
one
where
we
have
not
had
to
have
an
active
role
in
as
a
committee
other
than
several
commissioners
have
undergone
training
in
in
mediation.
D
I
don't
know
jay
how
training
falls
in
under
you
know
these
guidelines,
but
it
seems
to
me
like
this:
could
still
this
doesn't
need
to
be
a
standing
committee
that
the
mediation
people
can
can
be
independent.
You
know
certified
mediators
that
could
get
appointed
if
anything
came
forward
to
the
commission.
A
I
would
agree
with
that,
mr
chair.
Okay,.
D
And
then
retreat,
you
know,
I
I
think
we
can
hand
or
the
suggestion
would
be.
Maybe
we
handle
that
as
a
commission
and
we
have
not
had
annual
retreats.
So
it's
not
an
annual
reoccurring
thing.
We
have
had
study
sessions
to
you
know
to
to
look
at
certain
things,
so
I
I
would
not
see
that
we
would
need
a
standing
committee
for
retreat
planning
that
that
could
be
something
we
could
do
with
the
full
commission.
D
Okay,
then
we
will
shift
retreat
under
under
executive
committee,
which
is
seen
as
a
standing
committee,
and
then
these,
I
think,
are
ad
hoc.
The
item
b.
These
are
items
that
come
to
us
on
a
temporary
basis
that
there
is
an
end
in
sight.
Hopefully
jay.
Would
you
define
these
as
ad
hoc
committees,
the
street
naming
work
and
then
also
the
clean
indoor
air
draft
ordinance
review
that
we
participate
in.
A
Definitely
the
clean
indoor
air,
as
that
would
probably
have
a
certain
life
street
naming
may
may
go
on.
It
may
be
something
that
you
know
gets
looked
at
in
in
different
circumstances,
so
I'm
not
sure
if
that
would
best
be
suited,
because
those
opportunities
are
hard
to
predict.
So
I'm
not
sure
if
that
would
be
better
as
a
remaining
as
a
committee
or
if
it
becomes
more
of
a
representative
or
liaison
role.
A
But
I
know
there's
there's
a
meeting
coming
up
some
schedules
going
back
and
forth,
and
so
you
know
that's
with
another
of
our
staff
members
who
knows
this
and
the
committee
members
are
going
to
be
meeting
with
them.
But
this
is
not
a
meeting
that
will
take
place
very
often
it's
probably
a
one-time
meeting.
So
as
they
move
forward,
you
know
as
the
opportunities
come
forward
and
bring
it
forward.
A
It's
just
hard
to
know
if
that
should
be
kept
as
a
committee,
an
ad
hoc
committee
or
some
other
form.
D
D
I
think
it's
three,
it
wasn't.
An
open-ended
request
from
council
was
to
look
at
those
naming
of
the
streets
and,
if
council
gives
us
direction
for
a
specific,
you
know
for
specific
direction,
would
we
not
be
able
to
count
that
as
ad
hoc,
if
it,
if
it's
to
look
at
specific
street
names,.
A
Yes,
mr
chair,
I
would
agree
with
you
in
that
case,
I
wasn't
actually
sure
if
it
was
specifically
for
three
streets
or
to
continue
looking
at
opportunities
for
renaming
streets.
So
we.
D
Can
we
can
go
back
and
look
at
it?
I
think
we
we,
as
a
commission
may
have
supported
the
the
thought
process
of
looking
at
a
bigger
picture,
but
the
other
thing
that
may
come
from
this
is
this
may
end
up
residing
with
the
social
justice
group.
So
maybe
we
can,
we
can
offer
to
or
invite
them
to
take
it
on
and
and
then
then
we
could
serve
as
a
liaison
to
that
group.
D
Okay,
so
everybody
feel
good
about
those
two,
the.
So
what
do
we
have
to
act
on
here?
Oh
so,
the
motion
would
be.
We
would
need
to
entertain
a
motion
to.
B
A
D
Okay,
so
the
the
motion
that
we
will
entertain
is,
as
I've
stated,
in
addition
to
moving
retreat
responsibilities
to
the
executive
committee.
We
will
appoint
commissioner
robles
to
serve
with,
and
also
appoint,
formerly
vice
chair
shepard,
to
serve
on
the
youth
education
affairs
standing
committee.
B
Can
I
just
can
you
add
me
to
that
committee
because
I
can
I've
have
connections
with
the
boys
and
girls
club
as
well.
So
I
think-
and
I
guess
it
doesn't
preclude
a
stan.
It
doesn't
preclude
any
committee
member
from
participating
just
as
for
attending
a
standing
committee
meeting
right.
You
don't
have
to
be
a
member
of
a
standing
committee
to
attend
its
meeting.
B
D
A
A
Otherwise,
that's
basically
a
city
council
meeting,
so
in
that
case
they
actually
achieved
quorum,
but
still,
even
if
it's
just
so,
you
know
they
want
to
be
careful
not
to
breach
that
rule.
Oh.
D
Okay,
but
we
could,
we
could
have
three,
though
jay
or
or
we
shouldn't.
A
Yes,
yes,
we
can
add
them,
I'm
just
saying
if
it's.
B
B
D
And
we've
we've
kept
it
very
easy
in
past
years,
so
we
haven't
made
it
a
complicated
process
for
interpretation,
but
we
have
had
three
representatives
on
a
a
a
committee.
A
I
agree
I
I
think
that
would
be
actually
easier
than
kind
of
noting
he's
in
the
audience
all
the
time.
Yeah.
D
Yeah,
okay,
all
right
so
anything
does
anybody
feel
we
have
any
where
we
admitted
anything.
I
I
thought
I
went
down
the
list.
E
D
It's
it's
perfectly
fine
that
you
mentioned
that,
but
has
no
effect
on
what
we're
doing
in
this
motion.
Ella
any
there's
going
to
be
student
representatives-
and
you
know
whether
it's
it's
yourself
or
another
student
there's,
always
student
representatives
there.
So
you
know
we'll
we'll
get
back
to
to
your
service
when
we're
done
with
this
motion.
Okay,
all
right!
So
we're
still.
D
We
need
to
entertain
a
motion
from
the
commission
to
bring
to
an
end
the
standing
committees
of
community
relations
committee,
budget
personnel
committee,
cultural
affairs
committee,
seniors
and
people
with
disabilities
veterans
affairs
committee
and
commission
development,
mediation
committee,
with
responsibilities
of
retreat,
planning
and
retreat
planning
and
development
being
assigned
to
the
executive
committee
and
youth
education
affairs
committee,
appointing
commissioners
robles,
vignolo
and
vice
chair
shepard,
to
serve
on
that
committee.
D
D
Who
was
that
commissioner
fled
was
the
one
I
heard
so,
commissioner
fled?
Second,
do
we
have
any
other
discussion
on
on
what
seems
complicated,
but
I
don't
think
I
think
we
handled
it
very
swiftly.
D
No
co,
no
discussion,
all
in
favor
of
adopting
the
motion,
as
stated:
that's
unanimous,
jay.
D
Okay,
thank
you
for
that
and
we
will
move
on
to
item
item
nine
c
and
that's
consideration
of
submitting
priorities
and
areas
of
focus
for
the
city
council
visioning
session,
a
long
statement
of
appropriate
what
we
need
to
do,
but
I
think
it's
really
simple.
We
just
need
to
come
up
with
two,
I
think,
is
the
recommendation
priorities
for
the
commission
going
into
22.
D
Yeah
22
early
23,
perhaps
so
it's
it
sounds
like
it's
a
bigger
task
than
what
it
what
it
may
be
and
and
what
I
would
invite
folks
to
look
at,
and
everybody
had
this
in
our
packets,
so
you're
a
little
familiar
with
what
we're
being
asked
to
do
in
in
in
pre-prior
years.
We
we
would
really.
We
did
we
do
this,
we
would
we
would.
We
would
look
at
annual
topics
or
a
couple
topics
that
we're
going
to
focus
on.
D
You
know,
seniors
seniors
rights
was
one
that
we
picked
up
a
couple
years
back.
We
also
looked
at
you
know:
education
forms
through
the
presenting
educational
movies.
You
know
that
was
something
that
we
worked
on
for
for
some
time.
So
I
think
what
what
we're
being?
What
we
want
to
look
at
here
is:
where
do
we
see?
D
D
We're
here
to
support
city
council
and-
and
this
is
donkey
before
the
horse
or
chicken
before
the
egg
type
of
a
thing
council-
is
not
going
into
their
goal
setting
process
you
know
for
for
some
time,
but
I
think
they're
going
to
take
this
information
that
we
present,
along
with
the
other
commissions
and
they'll
at
least,
have
that
for
where
we
see
there
being
a
a
way
that
we
could
support
and
assist
them
in
two
two
areas
of
focus.
D
Does
that
make
sense
you
know
just
sum
up.
You
know
what
we're
really
trying
to
do.
So
you
know
we.
Can
we
I'll
jot
down
notes,
but
you
know:
are
there?
Are
there
topics
that
come
to
mind
right
away,
that
you
think
the
commission
should
really
be
focused
on
you
know
in
the
coming
year
coming
year
and
a
half,
maybe
even
two
years?
Well,
mr
chair,
I
have
a
question.
D
D
Chief,
since
that's
something
that's
starting,
I
guess
is
in
the
process
right
process
right
now,
which
I
don't
have
any
details
on
other
than
what
I've
read
and
what
the
city
council
is
proposing
to
do.
We
have
an
acting
chief
now
that
chief
reyes
is
gone
and,
of
course,
the
role
of
police.
Public
safety,
I
think,
is
part
of
our
human
rights
commission
goals
in
a
way.
You
want
me
to
comment
on
that.
D
You
know,
I
don't
know,
I
don't
know
previously
and
you
know,
and-
and
we
are
50
years
old
and
there's
been
a
few
police
chiefs
during
that
time
period.
You
know,
I
I
don't
know
if
the
commission
has
played
a
role
in
in
those
processes
and
and
jay,
I'm
not
sure
if
you're
aware
of
any
involvement.
A
I'm
I'm
not
aware
of
the
commission
specifically
playing
a
role.
I
know
as
you've
seen
there's
the
community
listening
sessions
where
they
want
to
hear
from
people.
I
don't
know
if
that's
that's
a
role
for
this
commission
to
help
out
with
in
terms
of
guiding
and
maybe
kind
of
directing
those
discussions
or
at
least
participating
and
identifying.
A
You
know
characteristics
that
would
be
important
for
for
the
community.
But
that's
that's
a
you
know,
really
good
recommendation,
but
but
I
don't
I
don't
know
of
historically.
If
the
commission
has
played
that
role.
D
B
D
Step
up
and
try
to
do
it
again,
I'll
just
start
it
yeah
and
and
I
I
it
certainly
would
fall
under
our
directive
from
rules
and
procedures
of
what
the
commission
does
and
that's
to
help
bring
diversity
to
all
departments
within
the
city.
So
you
know
you
know
if
nothing
else,
maybe
we
can
extend.
D
A
request
to
be
invited
to
be
involved
in
in
the
process
to
city
manager's
office.
You
know
that
you
know
and
like
jay
was
saying:
if
it's
you
know,
is
there
a
committee
organizing
these
talking
sessions?
You
know
what
are
what
are
the
next
steps
that
they're
that
they're
going
to
go
through?
D
Maybe
there's
a
role
from
somebody
on
the
commission
to
serve
and
assist
them.
Okay,
other
thoughts
on
priority
focus
vice
chair,
shepard,.
E
E
E
Well,
unfortunately,
probably
the
rest
of
our
lives,
but
it's
a
hot
topic
for
palm
springs
right
now
in
many
other
cities
throughout
the
country,
and
I
feel
that
if
I'm
a
member
of
the
human
rights
commission-
and
I
don't
take
that
as
one
of
my
primary
responsibilities,
I
feel
like
I'm
kind
of
missing
a
boat.
E
So
I
don't
know
what
that
would
look
like
to
add
energy
to
that.
To
add
support
to
that.
I
know
two
commissioners
are
already
assigned
mr
romeron
and
I
to
that
committee,
but
how
we
could
support
enhance
fund
move
that
along
in
any
way,
I
think,
is
very
important.
B
D
And
I
think
that's
that
is
education
is,
is
something
we
are
charged
with,
so
that
is.
That
is
a
a
duty
that
rests.
You
know
with
with
our
with
the
commission,
but
I
think,
let's,
let's
continue
to
take
down
these
thoughts
and
ideas,
because
we're
being
asked
to
focus,
you
know
you
know
the
human
rights
commission.
It
is
not
feasible
that
this
commission
can
deliver
all
the
things
that
it
is
asked
to
do
in
the
guiding
code
that
was
established
for
the
commission.
D
That
is
the
the
scope
is
too
wide
for
our
abilities
to
to
deliver,
and
what
we're
being
asked
to
do
by
the
city
manager
now
is,
is
really
understand
that
that's
true,
that
that's
reality
for
our
commission
and
how
can
we
pick
two
areas
of
focus
that
we
feel
we
will
best
help
the
city
council
going
forward
and
serve
our
role
as
the
human
rights
commission?
D
So
let's
keep
thinking,
let's
keep
thinking
along
those
lines.
We've
got,
you
know
somehow.
You
know
some
way
of
supporting.
You
know
shepherding
not
because
vice
chair
shepard
said
it
but
jeopardy
in
the
equity
social
justice
committee,
you
know
having
a
firm
role
in
race
relations.
D
You
know
continuing
to
serve
in
our
role
of
education
within
the
community
on
a
a
myriad
of
subjects
that
would
fall
under
human
rights.
What
else?
What
else
comes
to
mind.
B
Can
I
just
just
to
clarify:
is
it
if
I'm
reading
the
matrix
right,
they're
looking
for
two
one
or
two
ongoing
priorities
and
one
or
two
new
priorities
and
might
suggest
that
what
vice
chair
shepard
was
speaking
to
might
be
a
one
of
our
new
priorities
and
what
I
was
referring
to
is
probably
an
ongoing
priority
that
we
should
have
in
our
matrix
if
you're
trying
to
come
up
with.
D
D
Where
do
you
see
next
year?
Going
from
you
know
a
human
rights
standpoint,
and
you
know
from
your
time
on
the
commission
where,
where
do
you
think
we
could
best
contribute?
Where
do
you
think
the
city
council
is
going
to
be
going
next
year?
What
are
going
to
be
their
high
priorities.
E
I
think
the
city
and
the
commission,
and
should
listen
more
to
like
the
general
youth
population
of
the
city
like
rather
than
just
us
too,
because
there's
a
selection,
bias
of
who's
choosing
to
join
the
commission,
or
you
know,
putting
themselves
in
a
position
where
they
can
be
heard
versus
just
kids.
You
know
at
the
high
school
that
might
have
something
to
say
or
might
not
know
where
to
voice
those
things.
So,
just
speaking
with
a
larger
group
of
students,
I
would
say
is
probably
something
we
should
look
to
do.
E
F
Yeah,
thank
you,
chair
de
hart.
I
actually
had
my
hand
up
and
I
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
if
I'm
trying
to
be
respectful
of
time
as
well,
but
I've
had
my
hand
up
for
a
while.
So
I'm
just
letting
you
know
if
people
are
to
speak
out
out
of
turn,
I'm
not
gonna
say
anything
so,
just
letting
you
know,
yeah.
E
D
E
F
It
I'm
actually
going
to
put
in
in
response
to
commissioner
flood's
question
earlier,
and
I
appreciate
that
question
because
denise
schools,
we
did
send
out
the
survey.
There's
a
community
survey
around
the
the
selection
of
the
police
chief
in
palm
springs.
F
So
that's
the
one
survey
in
in
the
chat
it
says
the
city
of
palm
springs
is
asking
residents
to
weigh
in
on
the
selection
of
the
city's
next
chief
of
police.
Please
take
this
short
survey
and
let
us
know
what
qualities,
characteristics
and
experiences
are
most
important
when
evaluating
candidates
for
the
top
job
in
the
city's
police
department,
and
we
definitely
want
to
welcome
interim
police
chief
demare
to
pump.
F
You
know
to
the
role
currently
and-
and
just
I
just
wanted
to
respond
to
commercial
blood's
question
earlier,
and
I
don't
know
if
that
necessarily.
But
I
know
that
was
a
question
whether
or
not
our
commission,
as
a
body
has
has
worked
on
that,
and
I
think
I'm
just
going
to
mention
it
here,
because
we
did
go
to
the
student
representatives.
F
We
know
that
this
is
a
very
important
subject
matter,
because
it
was
in
the
news
about
whether
or
not
police
would
remain
on
on
the
campuses
of
the
palm
springs
unified
school
district,
and
it
was
a
big
big
con
conversation
that
we
should
definitely
be
addressing
here
in
some
form
or
fashion,
so
that
so
that
we
are
again
responsive
to
our
community
to
our
school
board,
and
you
know
to
our
public
safety.
You
know
this
is.
F
I
think
this
is
going
to
be.
Those
are
going
to
be
some
of
the
biggest
issues
that
are
going
to
come
up,
and
I
think
this
is
in
response
to
your
question
chair
to
heart.
What
are
the
priorities
of
our
commission
and
yes,
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
policing
and
and
public
safety
as
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
to
think
about
in
terms
of
the
human
rights.
You
know
impetus
that
we
have
so
I'm
I'm
very
happy
to
put
that
forward
as
well
and
support
that
conversation.
E
We
have
hundreds
of
hospitality,
jobs,
open
nobody
wanting
to
fill
them
and
I'm
sure
everybody
is
up
to
speed
on
the
resignation
crisis
that
we've
got
going
on
and
it
all
comes
back
down
to
working
conditions
and
pay,
and
I
think
san
francisco
santa
monica
many
places,
even
in
orange
county.
I've
done
a
good
job
of
that.
So
I
just
wanted
to
throw
that
out
there,
because
I'm
so
distressed
if
the
minimum
wage
had
kept
pace
with
inflation
over
the
last
30
40
years.
E
D
Yep,
okay,
so
I
think
living
wage
is
a
sub-component
of
the
bigger
the
the
bigger
item
of
maybe
what,
like
you
said,
working
working
conditions
and
and
pay
and
health
access
to
health
care.
So
that
may
be
a
bigger
topic
where
living
wage
could
fall
under
what
what
else?
We
have
other
thoughts
that
are
coming
to
mind.
B
D
D
It's
it's
due.
A
I
believe
it
is
mid-october,
early.
D
Into
mid-october,
okay,
so
there
there
what
could
be
an
opportunity
to
meet
again
but
keep
in
mind
we're
meeting
on
the
29th
and
we
will
meet
again
on
the
second
monday
in
october.
D
I
think
one
area
that
the
city
council
is
going
to
continue
to
be
focused
on
for
several
years
and
that's
the
homelessness
you
know
topic,
so
I
think
that's
going
to
be
a
huge
area
of
focus
of
our
city
council.
D
Another
another
area
that
we've
we've
brought
forward
several
months
ago
was,
I
think
we
brought
forward.
We
talked
about
it
is
how
the
how
can
the
commission
work
with
the
city
manager
in
the
hr
department
on
establishing
the
city's
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
policies
in
you
know
throughout
its
policies
and
procedures,
and
and
that's
that's
a
huge
role
that
we
could
play
and
and
it's
starting
at
at
ground,
zero.
That,
for
you
know,
for
you,
know
our
all
of
our
city
operations
and
policies.
E
Is
it
true
that
the
personnel
commission
has
been
done
away
with
jay?
Is
that
commission
gone
now.
A
You
know
it
seems
like
they
are
gone.
I
haven't
confirmed,
but
I
have
definitely
not
heard
of
the
personnel
commission
doing
anything
active
in
the
last
year,
at
least
so.
Okay.
E
Based
on
what
you
just
said
ron,
if
there's
some
way
that
we
could
maybe
take
a
look
at
the
like,
you
said
the
personnel
practices
hr
practices.
I
haven't
even
seen
a
city
handbook.
I
don't
know
what
our
union
avoidance
campaign
is.
I
don't
know
what
our
wage
scale
look
like
and
if
the
city
is
managing
one
of
the
bigger
operations
in
the
city,
I
think
it
would
be
good
to
maybe
at
least
have
some
awareness
or
maybe
input
on
some
of
those
things.
D
And
and
when
we,
when
that,
when
we
inquired
a
number
of
months
back
to
the
city
manager's
office,
our
inquiry
was
received
well
and
that
we
were
welcome
to
be
involved
in
the
the
process,
which
really
is
starting
fresh.
D
D
So
you
know
that
is
a
big
thing
and
that's
a
big
thing
that
we
could.
We
could
have
a
role
in
and
we've.
You
know
the
door's
been
open
there.
So
it's
not
like
there's
going
to
be,
you
know,
have
to
twist
people's
arms,
but
the
door
has
been
opened
to
invite
us
to
sit
at
that
table.
So
that's
a
could
be
a
good
one
for
us.
D
What
else?
If
we
had
crystal
balls,
what
have
we
seen
our
our
city
council,
focusing
on.
E
Sorry
go
ahead.
I'd
just
like
to
add.
E
I
was
looking
at
the
police
chief
survey
just
now
and
I'm
not
sure
if
this
would
be
a
human
rights
issue,
but
I
think
something
I've
noticed
is
a
lot
of
surveys,
just
generally
speaking,
but
I
think
especially
ones
done
by
the
city
should
be
more
inclusive
when
asking
about
race
or
ethnicity,
because
I
obviously
like
the
most
important
like
the
majority
minorities
and
everything
would
be
included
when
asking,
but
there
wasn't
even
an
other
option
on
the
survey
just
now,
for
if
somebody
wasn't
didn't
fall
under
any
of
those
categories,
so
I
think
especially
official
survey
should
be
more
inclusive.
E
Yes,
I
had
the
same
concern.
I
just
opened
it
and
I'm
actually
next
race.
So
when
I
went
down,
I
was
like
I've
only
got
to
choose
one
so
yeah.
E
D
And
that,
certainly
to
me,
assisting
in
in
bringing
that
level
of
awareness
would
fall
under
a
dei.
D
You
know
group
working
group
within
the
city
to
to
raise
that
level
of
awareness
of
you
know
making
sure
that
there's
inclusion
in
surveys
that
may
be
prepared,
whether
they're
prepared
internally
or
we
borrow
them
from
the
mainstream
that
we
could.
Even
we
can
modify
those
mainstream
surveys
to
be
more
inclusive,
so
yeah
good
points.
B
Sure
it
sounds
like
it
sounds
like
some
of
these.
B
B
Of
success
at
meeting
the
priorities,
for
example
the
survey,
if
you
could
get
the
survey
modified
to
address
the
concerns
that
ella
and
kalina
brought
to
our
attention.
That's
probably
a
measurement
of
the
success
of
making
things
more.
You
know
inclusive
the
priority
being
to
address
it
at
a
higher
level.
D
Sure
I
I
think
you're
you're
right
on
we're
still
just
gathering
big
big,
big
topic
subjects,
and
then
I
think
we
you
know
once
we
I
think.
If
we
get
a
good
assortment
of
big
topic
issues,
then
maybe
we
can
narrow
it
down,
maybe
into
you
know
a
major
issue
and
then
some
subcategories
as
you're
speaking,
but.
D
You
know
we
got
some
we
get.
We
do
have
some
big
issues
already.
You
know
big
big
issues
with
social
equity,
the
social
justice
committee.
You
know
rate
race
relations.
How
do
we
you
know?
How
do
we
put
an
arm
around
that
which
is
just
massive,
but
then
we've
got
the
working
conditions
in
pay
living
wage
access
to
health
care
working
with
us.
You
know
working
with
to
establish
the
diversity,
equity,
inclusion
policies
and
standards
throughout
the
city
of
palm
springs.
D
Big
one,
that's
huge
and
in
huge,
is
homelessness.
So
those
are
all
some
really
big
big
topics
that
you
know
under
falling
in
within
them.
You
know
there
could
be
lots
of
other
avenues
that
that
we
would
certainly
be
expected
to
be
involved
in
as
a
human
rights
commission,
but.
D
You
know-
and
I
and
I
look
at
if
we're
gonna,
if
we're
gonna
work
and
spend
time
in
our
energy
and
effort.
D
How
are
we,
how
can
we
help
further
the
work
that
the
com
that
the
city
council
is
doing
to
in
ins
instead
of
trying
to
come
up
with
something
new
that
falls
outside
of
the
scope
where
they're
going
to
be
focused?
D
How
how
can
we
go
down
the
road
that
we
can
assist
with
with
what
their
top
priorities
are?
Gonna
be,
and
I
think
you
know
I
I
would.
I
would
suspect
that
a
lot
of
what
we've
just
shared
some
of
these
key
topics
are
gonna,
be
top
priority
items
for
city
council
in
in
some
fashion
or
another,
so
any
any
other
thoughts
other
areas.
D
D
D
Just
that
that
topic
alone
you
know
and
then
and
then
what
impact
could
we
have
so
then
I
think
that's
the
other
thing
for
us
to
consider
is
what
impact
can
we
really
have
on
any
one
of
these
items
that
were
were
speaking
of
now,
commissioner
romeron.
I
see
your
hand
this
time.
F
I'm
glad
you
brought
up
housing
chaired
heart
and
I'm
in
a
living
wage.
Vice
chair,
shepard
there.
You
know
the
the
there's
one
word
that
doesn't
get
spoken
about
a
lot,
and
I
think
this
is
where
you
know
and
I'm
glad
this
conversation's
happening.
F
I
know
it's
seven
o'clock
it's
after
seven
now,
but
we
don't
talk
about
gentrification
in
palm
springs
and
I
think
that's
one
of
the
things
and
I
think
people
are
very
afraid
of
talking
about
gentrification,
because
one
the
the
conversations
around
short-term
rentals,
for
instance,
it
is
about
like
sort
of
a
class
stratification
right
where
folks,
who
can
rent
out
their
home,
will
rent
out
their
home
and
make
that
money
right.
But
the
reality
is
a
lot
of
our
families.
F
You
know
or
something
you
know
or
they
left
palm
springs.
You
see
this
flight
of
like
working-class
brown,
family
brown
and
black
families,
because
they
can't
afford
to
live
here.
So
I
think
gentrification
is
definitely
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
our
city
is
afraid
to
speak
about,
but
I
think
we'll
be
on
on
the
horizon.
In
terms
of
this
conversation
of
what
we're
you
know,
it
brings
together
all
these
conversations
of
homelessness
and
and
with
you
know,
living
wage.
How?
F
How
can
you
own
you
know
in
in
you
know
in
the
city
when
you
you
know,
there's
a
checkerboard
of
like
of
the
of
land
ownership?
You
know
those
those
things
that
conversation.
Our
conversation
with
the
tribe
within
the
agua
caliente
band
of
korean
is
that
conversation
is
something
that
we,
I
think
we
avoid
mainly
because
there's
this
two,
this
very
binary
city
of,
like
we've,
got
city
council
and
we've
got
the
tribal
council.
You
know
when,
when
do
we
get
those
opportunities
to
really
build
those
bridges?
D
So
to
to
me,
I
would
see
the
the
whole
topic
of
gentrification
falls
under
the
affordable
housing
conversation.
You
know
that
is,
that
is
all
part
of
the
picture.
It's
not
you
know
it's
it's!
You
know.
Why
do
we
have
to
be
concerned
about
affordable
housing?
It's
because
of
all
the
things
you
just
mentioned,
or
many
of
the
things
you
just
mentioned
so,
but
is
there
the
the
last
part
of
your
comment
is:
is
there
an
objective
there
that
you
can
be
identified
on
on?
D
How
does
the
human
rights
commission
help
you
know
what
role
would
we
have
in
bridging
two
parties,
like
the
city
council
and
the
tribe?
What
what's
that?
What
if
you
could
identify
the
objective
there?
What
is
that
objective?
What
what
would
the
task
be.
F
I
think,
personally,
you
know
and
I'll
say
this
straight
up
because,
like
my
family
does
work
for
the
casi,
you
know
the
casinos,
you
know,
that's
one.
No,
there
is
an
interdependence
of
like
folks
who
are
you
know,
for
instance,
the
filipino
communities
in
in
eastern
palm
springs
or
southeastern
palm
springs,
who
work
in
the
casinos
and
they've
been
working
there
for
a
while.
I
think,
commissioner,
commissioner
loyola
mentioned
you
know
hispanic
heritage
month,
and
we
also
have
that
real,
strong
relationship
with
agriculture.
F
You
know
the
relationship
of
agriculture
in
in
the
valley
and
the
history
of
labor
in
this
town
is
has
been
founded
on
the
backs
of
black
and
brown.
You
know
working-class
families,
so
we
have
to
really
think
of
how
you
know
the
the
history
of
you
know,
and
this
is
where
it
sounds
great
because
it
all
comes
like
full
circle
right.
The
conversation
around
section
14
is
a
huge
conversation.
That
is
an
awe.
It's
ongoing.
It's
legacy.
Actually
you
know.
Let's
talk
about,
you
know
and
we're
going
to
talk
about.
F
I
know
on
the
29th
and
I'm
hoping
you
know,
we
get
some
clarity
before
the
29th,
because
I'm
wanting
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we
can
come
out
of
this,
because
this
has
this
is
divided
the
city.
You
saw
it
you're,
seeing
the
division
of
like
one
folks
who
want
to
keep
a
statue
versus
ones
who
want
to
say:
oh
we're
just
supporting
the
the
legacy
of
someone
who's
been
a
leader
in
our
city.
F
Like
this
is
where
we
talk
about
it,
we
were
talking
about
it
here
on
zoom.
You
know
we're
we're,
we
haven't
been
able
to
sit
down
and,
like
literally
be
in
a
room
together
and
talk
about
it,
it's
actually
consumed.
It's
almost
it's
mediated
through
this
sort
of
professional
distance,
which
is
great.
We
need
that
professional
distance
and
I'm
glad
we
are
streamlining.
F
You
know
the
you
know
what's
happening
with
the
committees,
for
instance,
because
we
want
to
be
able
to
work
better
for
our
city
and
make
you
know
so
that
way
our
conversations
could
be
have
a
string,
a
greater
impact.
So
I
guess
I'm
getting
at
is
that
you
know
if
we,
if
there's
something,
comes
out
of
what's
happening
today,
for
instance,
which
I'm
glad
the
streamlining
is
happening,
because
I
think
we,
you
know
you've
spoken
about
it.
Many
times
chair
to
heart,
like
a
lot
of
things,
don't
happen
overnight.
You
know
change
doesn't
happen
overnight.
F
A
lot
of
things
happen.
You
know
this
this,
the
the
cl,
the
clean
indoor
air
ordnance
that
I've
been
working
on,
as
as
a
liaison
that
you
know
that
conversation
has
been
going
around
for
a
couple
years
and
it
always
goes
back
and
forth
between
committees.
So
there
is
a
level
like
one
commissioner
vignola
like
I'm
glad
you
say
it
because
you
know
we
need
to
really
look
at
how
it
is
not
just
about.
F
You
know
the
the
big
issues,
but
literally
how
do
we
work
as
as
a
government
agency
to
work
stronger
and
better
for
our
constituencies?
You
know
so
that
we
can
deliver.
You
know
it
doesn't
take
two
years
to
have
a
clean
air
ordinance
so
that
you
know
you
know.
I
don't
know,
I'm
just
I'm
really
worried
about
this
level
of
like
one.
We
have
these
big
topics,
but
we
don't
know
how
we
can
communicate
better
or
how
you
know
or
we're
we're
just
not
communicating
better.
I
guess
that's
one
of
the
things
I'm
looking
for.
B
That's
the
number
one
priority,
and
the
topic
of
the
conversations
I
think
is
the
met
is
the
secondary
part
of
it.
But
if
you're
looking
for
to
go
back
to
the
city
manager
and
say
our
number
one
priority
for
2022
is
that
the
human
rights
commission
is
going
to
come
up
with
a
process
for
fostering
multiple
conversations
with
multiple
groups
in
the
city
of
palm
springs.
B
That's
a
like
the
big
prize,
that's
a
big
project,
and
I,
but
I
think
it's
valid
project
that
fits
into
the
powers
and
duties
that
this
the
code
identifies
for
this
commission,
then,
at
a
lower
level,
we'll
figure
out
what
conversational
topics
we
want
to
focus
on,
but
to
meet
the
charge
of
this
direction
from
the
city
manager.
I
think
you've
just
identified,
commissioner
ramran
the.
What
to
me
is
the
number
one
priority
going
forward
for
this
commission.
D
So
that
that
certainly
is
an
ongoing
priority.
That's
what
we're
charged
with
now
so
figuring
out
how
to
have
that
conversation
is,
is
something
that
we
clearly
are
have
can
be
charged
with.
So
I'm
I'm
if
we
take
that
as
an
ongoing
okay.
How
how
I
I
don't
know
if
I
can't
put
my
finger
on
the
what's
the
the
objective,
the
one
or
two
objectives
that
will
get
us
to
you
know
come
close
to
fulfilling
that
ongoing
priority.
D
Yeah
yeah.
What
so?
What
what
could
we
say?
What
could
we
do
that
can
help
bridge
this
absence
that
you
know,
commissioner
omron
is
sharing
with
us,
and
you
know
the
aggravation
that
you
clearly
can
hear
you
know
and
and
the
scope
isn't
this
big.
You
know
just
listening
to
commissioner.
The
scope
is
huge.
So
how
do
we?
How
do
we?
How
do
we
boil
it
down
to
a
role
that
the
commission
can
have
with
nine
commissioners?
D
One
who's
been
absent
for
three
meetings
I
believe
in
in
that
it's
achievable.
So
you
know
with
that
ongoing,
which
is
a
good
ongoing
one
that
we
might
wanna.
You
know
we
got
it
written
down
here,
so
that
may
be
one
of
our
ongoings,
but
we've
got
to
look
at.
D
So
actually
ongoing
would
be
you
know,
quite
a
bit
of
what
we've
said
is
could
really
be
classified
as
ongoing.
So
what
you
know
are
there
new
areas
of
priorities,
new
areas
of
priorities?
D
That's
that's
an
interesting
way
to
ask
the
question,
because
our
charge
is
so
broad.
I
think
everything
we've
talked
about
today
follows
under
the
charge
that
we
already
have
so
is
there.
B
Assist
the
city
council
in
addressing
things
like
the
homelessness
issue
in
affordable
housing
at
the
in
terms
of
bringing
those
affected
communities
into
the
conversation,
you
know
getting
some
ideas
from
them
as
to
what
how
could
we
include
them?
How
can
we
ensure
that
their
human
rights
are
being
addressed.
D
Yeah,
so
when
the
minute
I
said,
or
as
I
was
looking
at
the
list
of
my
notes
on
things
that
we've
talked
about
and
when
we
look
at
ongoing
priorities
versus
something
that
may
be
maybe
a
new
area-
and
you
know
yes,
it
could
be,
it
could
be
under
our
charge
somewhere
in
the
words
in
our
pages
of
of
guidance.
But
I
think
that
it's
that
gentrification
subject
and
the
affordable
housing.
So
to
me.
I
think
that
that
that
would
be
one
of
the
priority
issues
that
we
could
identify
as
new.
D
It
certainly
isn't
something
that
we've
worked
on
in
in
six
years,
and
and-
and
I
don't
know
you
know
and
previously
to
that,
so
you
know
maybe
somehow
we
could.
We
could
shape
that
affordable
housing,
judgment,
gentrification
conversation
and
and
then
and
we've
had
a
role
in
in
homelessness.
D
And
you
know
when,
when
the
mayor
served
on
the
on
the
commission,
she
there
was
a
a
couple
people
that
served
on
that
that
standing
committee
and
issued
the
homelessness
report
out
of
the
human
rights
commission.
So
we
we
have
addressed
it
for
a
long
time,
but
we've
found
not
necessarily
aggravation,
but
we
found
that
we
there.
There
was
really
no
role
that
we
could
move
something
forward
in
in
serving
with
the
task
force
that
was
established.
D
I
think
the
homelessness
solutions
are
moving
forward
in
the
city
in
at
different
levels.
You
know
it's
just
if
that
was
a
priority
for
us
to
work
with
city
council
on
how
how
would
we
even
see
our
role
there
and
not
get
in
a
position
where
we're
not
contributing
to
the
outcome?
You
know
that
it's
beyond
our
beyond
us
that
it's
it's
beyond
our
scope,
it's
beyond
our
reach.
We
can't
be
that
that
that
problem
solver
on
that
topic
or
you
know
what
is
our.
A
Role,
mr
chair,
just
a
couple
observations.
You
know
it's
great
great
conversation,
but
you
know
you
keep
mentioning
the
home
the
homelessness,
affordable,
housing
and
gentrification.
A
A
And
so
you
know
it's.
It
is
kind
of
related
to
that
to
the
success
of
palm
springs
being
an
attractive
place
where
landlords
can,
within
the
law,
raise
their
rents
and
and
increase
the
cost
of
living
for
individuals
who
you
know
for
many
years
until
this
phenomenon
has
kind
of
come
around
that
you
know.
A
I
don't
know
if
it's
a
airbnb
phenomenon
or
just
a
rental
phenomena
that
it's
starting
to
price
people
out,
and
so
I
guess
you
know
it's
just
really
interesting-
to
hear
the
keying
in
on
gentrification,
impacting
individuals
who
have
no
equity
in
the
community,
no
assets
to
rely
on
that
grow
with
time
and
match
their
their
increasing
their
wealth.
A
So
I
don't
know
if
there's
areas
to
make
that
happen,
I
think
I've
heard
some
communities
have
implemented
their
own
cryptocurrency.
A
I
don't
know
if
that's
an
effort
to
give
equity
to
individuals
who
are
maybe
long-term
residents
or
such,
but
you
know
I
I
I
don't
know.
If
that's
something
even
to
be
evaluated,
it's
just
kind
of
crazy
actually,
but
maybe
it
works.
D
Area
of
focus
how
how?
How
could
we
focus
on
that?
And
you
know
I
I
I
always
go
back
to
try
to
think
forward
as
to
where's
the
council
gonna
go
because
if
they're
going
one
direction
and
we
say
we're
going
to
go
another
direction.
D
You
know
we're
we're
much
better
off
to
think
if
the
direction
council
is
going
and
then
figure
out
how
what
is
our
role
in
that
direction,
and
I
think
whoops
dog
just
knocked
the
court
out
the
the
direction
we're
better
off
going
in
a
direction
where
we
can
contribute
to
real-time
action
of
city
council,
and
I
think
that
gets
us
back
to
we
we
have
identified.
D
D
Do
we
agree
on
that?
I
can
I
can't
imagine
they're
not
going
to
be
addressing
you
know
those
those
topics
and
homelessness.
You
know
homelessness
is
going
to
is
going
to
be
a
a
big
topic.
D
You
know
going
forward
so
we're
you
know
how.
How
do
we
boil
down
some
of
this
big
thought
that
we've
had
and
and
can
we
can,
we,
you
know,
bring
it
down
to
two
core
areas
where
we
think
we
can.
We
can
contribute
as
a
priority.
We
don't
know
what
that
priority,
where
that
priority
is
going
to
take
us
or
what
our
task
would
be,
but
it
this
is
the
core
area
that
we
think
we
we
can
be
focused
on
and
and
and
we're
not
being
asked
if
to
state.
D
A
Let
me
also
add
you
know
a
lot
of
the
city
council
decisions
come
down
to
that
vote
when
they're
up
there
hearing
testimony
from
both
sides,
and
I
think
in
in
line
with
what
commissioners,
mignola
and
rameron
have
been
saying
about
communication.
A
Maybe
a
role
for
the
human
rights
commission
can
be
amplifying
the
voices
of
those
who
may
not
have
as
strong
of
a
voice
such
as
a
homeless,
individual,
making
sure
their
stories
are
heard
and
communication
with
those
who
are
maybe
the
nimbies
and
saying
you
know
we
don't
want
this
in
a
neighborhood
and
I
think
helping
to
quell
that
conflict
would
definitely
be
something.
The
council
would
appreciate.
D
E
D
I
think
I
think
that
that
can
help
you
know
that
can
help
narrow
down
what
what
we've
been
talking
about
and
and
area
focus.
I
think
area
focus
is
better
to
say
than
priority
new
priority,
because
it's
we've
already
said
you
know
our
our
our.
Our
commission
is
very
broad
in
what
we're
supposed
to
be
doing.
So
I
would
I
would
like
to.
I
would
like
to
focus
more
on
the
area
of
focus
and
our
area.
D
One
area
of
focus
that
has
been
a
big
part
of
our
conversation
tonight
is:
is
the
human
rights
role
in
raising
awareness
and
educating
the
community
at
large
on
issues
of
importance,
we're
not
identifying
that
issue
of
importance,
but
I
think
that
it's
very
broad
in
scope
and
if
you
listen
to
commissioner
romeron
for
two
minutes,
you're
going
to
hear
30
issues
come
on.
D
Ongoing
education
to
raise
awareness
of
the
issues
are
facing
our
community
or
something-
and
it's
not
defined,
we're
not
saying
it's
all
about
homelessness,
we're
not
saying
it's
about
living,
wage
or
housing,
but
it's
saying
we
want
to
have
a
role
whether
that
rules
in
front
of
city
council
meetings,
like
jay,
said
so
we
can
give
testimony
which
could
be
a
great
role
for
us
to
give
to
bring
a
different
perspective
to
city
council.
D
You
know
when
it
when,
when
topics
come
up,
certainly
is
a
big
charge
for
this
commission.
You
know
if,
if
you
watch
the
city
council
meetings,
they're
they're,
not
short,
but
and
it
takes
a
commitment,
but
I
think
that
could
be
a
good
area.
What's
what's
the
thought.
E
B
D
So
what
one
area
of
focus
our
our
new
area
of
focus
would
be
on
ongoing
education
to
raise
awareness
of
issues.
Oh,
I
see
a
hand
up
again
in
the
background
to
get
you
edwin
to
ra,
raise
awareness
of
issues
facing
our
community,
something
along
those
lines.
F
I'd
like
to
that,
that's
really
worded
really
nicely
chair
to
heart.
I
also
want
to
do
a
little.
I
know.
There's
we
always
do
this
with
a
sort
of
history
lesson
around
the
founding
of
this
commission
too.
You
know,
there's
a
real
sense
that
the
charge
of
this
this
commission
was
founded
to
really
protect
the
you
know
sexual
minority
too,
for
instance.
You
know
like
when
we
look
at
in
1992
when,
when
the,
when
the
commission
was
first
founded,
we
were
you
know
we
were
looking
at.
F
You
know
the
the
protection
of
of
of
a
sexual
minority,
in
particular
gay
men
in
palm
springs.
So
I'm
thinking
that
you
know
if
the
charge,
if
we
have
a
charge
here
that
we
can
put
as
a
focus
is
that
we
do
continue
the
protection
of
underclasses
or
or
you
know,
the
most
vulnerable,
and
I
think
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we're
looking
at
where
you
know
we're
looking,
you
know,
we
don't
have
the
hate
crimes
thing
stuff.
You
know
on
our
on
our
website
for
no
for
just
any
reason.
F
It's
because
we're
we're
looking
specifically
the
fact
that
hate
crimes
are
being
directed
at
very
specific
classes
of
people
and
in
groups,
and
you
know,
races
and
historic
sexual
minorities
as
well.
So
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
that
kind
of
like
history,
as
you
know
again,
refocusing
where,
where
this
has
been
founded,
but
also
reinvigorating
it
because
the
reality
is
we
we
we're
going
to
have
our
fir.
If
this
happens,
we
may
have
our
first
transgender
mayor
in
palm
springs.
F
So
there's
a
real
level
of
like
hey
we're
going
to
be
an
epicenter
of
discussion
around
transgender
rights,
and
we
need
to
you
know,
protect
those
who
are
again
most
vulnerable
in
our
community.
So
I'm
looking
at
that
as
sort
of
one
way
to
sort
of
re.
You
know
even
look
at
the
history
of
how
this
commission
was
founded.
You
know
I'm
talking
talking
off
off
the
cuff.
This
is
just
based
on.
F
B
I'll
just
throw
it
one.
Last
er,
possible
area
of
focus
that
occurred
to
me
listening
to
commissioner
romero
for
this
committee
going
forward
and
which
I
think
would
be
new,
is
for
the
commission
to
focus
on.
B
I
think
whether
it's
political
discussions
or
discussions
around
gentrification
sexual
minorities,
health
care-
I
don't
think
I've
heard
we
haven't-
really
talked
about
health
care.
The
disparities
in
that
area,
but
I
think
maybe
that
could
be
a
focus
of
the
commission
to
come
up
with
some
tool
or
have
or
host
forums.
B
E
B
D
D
What
I
was
thinking
is
it:
it
does
fall
under
our
charge
of
mediation,
but
also
it
goes
back
to
education
and
awareness,
yeah
and-
and
you
know,
create-
and
you
know
maybe
that
education
and
awareness
is
what
you
what
you
were
saying
is.
Maybe
it
is
forums
the
you
know,
it
is
hosting.
D
You
know,
public
forums
to
you
know,
discuss
topics,
you
know
difficult
conversations,
but
to
me
that
falls
under
ongoing
education,
where
she's
facing
the
communities
and
and
and
we're
not
we're
not
identifying
what
what
that
is,
but
we
certainly
would
have
to
come
back
at
some
point.
We're
gonna
have
to
say:
okay.
Well,
how
are
we
gonna
do
this?
You
know
that
this
is
our
focus
area.
How
are
we
going
to
focus
our
energies
for
the
year
on
that
area?
D
And-
and
you
know
I
I
know
he-
the
city
manager
is
asking
us
for
2j,
but
do
we
have
to
give
two,
because
I
think
the
danger
there
is.
We
already
put
too
much
work
on
our
plate
and
if,
if
we
do
too,
I
just
don't
see
us
being
able
to
accomplish
two
massive
priorities.
A
I
believe
he
limited
it
to
two
because
he'd
like
to
see
as
few
as
possible,
so
one
may
may
work
out
very
well.
D
D
Yeah
I
agreed
at.
E
D
D
D
I
think
that's
something
that
is
is
tangible.
It
impacts
a
lot
of
people,
you
know
so,
and
that
would
be
under
our
ongoing
of
working
with
community.
You
know
I
mean
departments
and
and
other
commissions
so
that
to
me
that
would
be
an
ongoing
thing
where,
if
we
we
formally
are
working
with
city
managers
office
to
establish
those
policies
and
and
implementing
the
language
throughout
the
city
hall,
culture,
massive
project-
we
and
you-
you
know-
you
all
know
that,
but
that
that
would
be
an
ongoing
one.
D
You
know
race
relations,
you
know
going
back
to
our
involvement
with
the
social
justice,
you
know,
committee,
you
know
that's
ongoing
and,
and
we
have
two
representatives
sitting
there.
You
know
I
if
we
could,
if
we
could
put
our
finger
on
what
more
could
we
do
that
we
could
say
you
know
we
we
want
to
have
a
a
bigger
voice
there.
I
think
we've
already
gotten
two
seats,
so
I'm
not
sure
with
that
one
I
think
the
police
chief
is
is
short
term.
D
You
know
that
process
you
know.
Is
it?
Is
it
going
to
go
on
for
six
months?
I
sure
hope
not,
but
that's
going
to
be
a
short
process.
D
That's
not
going
to
be
a
long-term
thing
for
us
to
look
at
but
policing
you
know
the
the
the
in
in
our
city
and
the
police
budgets
and
where
funding
is
is
allocated.
Well.
That
certainly
is
ongoing,
but
doesn't
that
fall
under
our
social
justice?
You
know
committing
you
know
and
what?
How
could?
How
could
we
have
a
role
there
for
ongoing
others,
thoughts
on
what
those
ongoing
priorities
could
be,
or
our
ongoing
areas
of
focus
could
be.
D
So
how
what
how
would
we
narrow
it
down?
Because
we
take
on
too
much,
and
we
know
that,
so
how
can
we
narrow
it
down
to
the
to
the
one
or
two
that
says
you
know?
This
is
what
we're
really
gonna
make.
Is
our
priority
and
and
and
some
things
are
just
going
to
have
to
go
in
the
parking
lot
and
and
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
address,
because
we've
got
to
hit
our
priority
first.
E
E
I
think
we
kind
of
know
what
we
want
to
do
and
I'd
be
willing
to.
You
know
work
with
you.
I'm
sure
hugo
would
as
well
to
try
and
just
capture
all
of
this
and
get
it
on
paper.
E
Can
we
talk
to
each
other?
Well,
maybe
we
can
just
have
a
meeting
that
the
agenda
is
2021-22
priority
matrix
and
that's
the
only
agenda
item.
D
Okay,
jay
and
if,
if
normally
we
would
leave
today
and
one
or
two
of
us
would
craft
summarize
the
comments
that
were
made
in
tonight's
meeting?
D
Without
taking
any
action,
just
summarizing
comments
that
were
made,
that
then
could
be
circled
out
to
the
commission
at
an
agendaized
meeting
to
oh.
A
Yeah
yeah,
in
fact,
I
think
we've
done
that
with
the
housing
element,
language,
where
you
know
everybody
contributed
and
came
together
into
one
document
by
a
smaller
group
and
then
was
recirculated.
A
D
Does
everybody
feel
comfortable
going
that
direction
and
we
probably
will
have
to
schedule
a
special
meeting,
maybe
or
maybe
not
depending
on
how
well
we
could
move
a
shared
document
forward
so,
okay,
that
that
will
be
our
charge.
D
Why
don't
we
invite
everybody
to
do
that?
If,
if
you
feel
so
inclined.
D
So,
okay,
if
ever
whoever
is
inclined
to
you,
know,
put
their
thoughts
down
on
those
two
tiny
little
lines
in
in
each
of
these.
D
I'll
go
ongoing
priorities
and
new
priorities,
you
know,
please
do
and
you
know
jay
are
they
allowed
to
send
them
to
be
clear?
Should
we
just
send
them
to
you
and
you'll
get
them
to
at
least
then
the
next
get
him
to
the
executive
committee
will
individually
work
on
him
and
then
get
him
out
to
everybody
again.
D
Okay,
excellent!
Well,
I
think
you
know
this
is
a
was
a
really
good
conversation.
I
appreciate
everybody,
you
know
contributing
the
ideas
as
to
you
know
what
we
think
is
is
going
to
be.
You
know
important
for
us
in
the
next
year.
So
thank
you
for
that
and
hopefully
we'll
be
able
to
summarize
the
thoughts
that
we've
had
tonight
in
a
in
a
good
way.
Okay,
let's
coming
back,
I'm
looking
back
on
the
agenda
to
see
where
we're
at
and
we
are
on
item
d.
D
It
took
us
a
while
to
get
here
tonight,
but
it's
important
work.
So
item
d,
commissioner
staff
and
student
comments-
and
I
will
lead
off
tonight
I'll-
take
that
privilege-
and
I
want
to
thank
our
student
representative
ella
cash
for
serving
as
our
student
representative
and-
and
I
I
you
know,
I
think
both
of
our
student
representatives
this
year
have
been
you
know.
D
Good
quality
contributors
and
ella
is
one
who
was
never
shy
to
share
her
thoughts,
and
you
know,
just
you
know,
be
a
part
of
the
conversation,
and
for
that
you
know.
I
really
appreciated
your
contributions,
ella,
and
I
encourage
you
to
continue
when
you're
in
circumstances
like
this.
D
You
know
to
to
continue
to
share
your
thoughts
on
your
ideas
and
and
and
not
just
you
know,
be
bold
about
it
and
and
you've
you've
done
a
good
job,
and
thank
you
for
for
doing
that
and-
and
the
other
thing
is
I
could
always.
You
know
rest
assured
that
if
there
was
a
little
extra
task
for
ella
to
be
involved
with
in
the
meeting,
I
I
I
think
she
always
said
yes
to
me,
even
if
I
was
asking
just
minutes
before
the
meeting
started.
D
So
many
thanks,
ella
and-
and
we
wish
you
well
on
your
next
school
endeavor.
Where
are
you
going.
E
D
D
Very
good
well,

was
this
was
a
good
start
for
you,
where's
our
next.
D
Very
good,
very
good.
Well,
thank
you,
ella!
Thank
you
all
right.
That
was
my.
That
was
my
comment.
So
any
go
around
the
table,
any
any
other
commissioner
staff
student
comments.
E
D
F
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Student
representative,
ella
cash
too,
I'm
so
proud
of
also
being
a
palm
springs
high
school
graduate.
So
it's
always
great
to
see
where,
where
our,
where
our
alumni,
where
our
students
go
where,
where
our
family
goes,
I
I
want
to
just
quickly.
Since
you
know
I
was
the
liaison
for
master
calendar,
so
just
to
quickly
go
through
some.
Some
things
for
all
of
you
to
this
will
be
really
quick.
I
know
it's
already.
It's
quarter
to
eight,
but
tomorrow
is
election
day.
F
So
don't
forget
to
vote.
If
you
haven't
voted
yet
so
about

off
locations

pumped

jesse

they

F
If
you
have,
if
you
haven't
voted
yet
it's
a
very
important
election,
a
special
election,
also
just
a
nice
little
item
I
saw
on
the
calendar
and
I
think
I
think
a
lot
of
you
do
follow
the
calendar
for
the
city,
but
national
hispanic
heritage
month
is
celebrated
each
year
as
you.
We
know
from
september
15th
through
october
15th,
and
this
year
the
theme
is
esperanza,
a
celebration
of
hispanic
heritage
and
hope
and
the
palm
springs
library
is
involved.
F
With
this
a
celebration
learning
about
traditional
foods,
change
makers
and
select
celebrity
celebratory
traditions
in
our
hispanic
heritage
month
challenge.
So
you
can
log
on
to
the
pounces
library
and
follow
the
challenge.
So
I
challenge
you
all
for
that
and
then
just
say
just
quickly,
because
I
was
able
to
go
through.
F
You
know:
what's
coming
up
as
well,
just
a
reminder
that
indigenous
people's
day
is
on
monday
october.
11Th
filipino
american
history
month
is
in
october
as
well
and
larry
it
leong
day
is
a
day
that
on
october
25th,
which
is
looking
at
a
key
filipino
labor
organizer
in
in
october
in
november,
we're
also
looking
at
the
greater
palm
springs
pride
parade,
which
is
going
to
happen
on
sunday
november
7th,
and
then
we
also
have
the
veterans
day
parade
which
is
on
thursday
november
11th,
so
just
keep
those
and
save
those
dates.
B
Yes,
I
don't
know
where
this
fits
in,
but
I
didn't
know
if
it
would
be
appropriate
for
the
human
rights
commission
to
extend
their
congratulations
to
mayor
pro
tem
middleton
on
her
appointment
to
the
historic
california,
transgender
advisory
council
for
the
state
of
california.
That
announcement
just
came
out
today
in
a
press
release,
but
if
it
is
appropriate,
we
might
want
to
again
extend
our
congratulations
to
her.
I
don't
know
the
process
for
doing
that.
I
think
you
just
did
oh
well.
How
does
it
get
to
her,
though?
B
I
don't
know,
maybe
she
is.
I
don't
know
if
the
chair
has
a
or
zoo
jay
communicates
that
to
mayor
pro
tem
middleton,
but
I'll
leave
you
up
to
decide
how
to
do
that.
So
that's
all
I
wanted
to
mention,
since
it
was
brand
new.
D
Yeah
I'll
send
jay
I'll.
Send
you
a
little
note
to
on
behalf
of
the
commission.
Okay
just
said
to
lisa,
mr.
D
D
E
D
No
all
right
well
good
meeting
everyone.
Thank
you
again
for
your
contributions
and
watch
for
the
meeting
notice
to
go
out
for
the
the
special
proclamation
presentation
on
september
15th
at
5
30.,
so
that
will
go
out
and
everybody's
welcome
to
to
to
dial
in
and
and
be
part
of
that
presentation,
and
thank
you
all
for
getting
us
to
this
point.
It's
7
50..
D
F
D
And
so
there'll
be
a
zoom
leak
for
that.
So
watch
that
coming
coming
forward.
You
know
I
missed
item
10
agenda
items.
We
did
have
a
couple
items
come
up
for
agenda
for
the
next
meeting.
D
If
you
can
believe
that
or
not
romeron,
we
I
understand,
there's
been
some
updates
on
it
that
I
think
we
need
to
take
a
look
at
yes.
So
if
we
we
can
have
that
formally
come
back
to
us,
you
know
for
another
review.
