And
there's
nobody
in
the
way
in
the
waiting
room
or
online
with
us,
so
we
will
move
on
to
item
seven
approval.
Oh
no
item
six
chair
comments.
You
know
I
I
just
wanted
to
share
that.
You
know.
Hopefully
everybody
saw
that
the
barista
park
is
open
again
and
you
know
hats
off
to
you
know
all
our
city,
employees
that
helped
work
on.
You
know,
cleaning
up
the
park
and
and
getting
it
accessible
for
the
community
and
the
residents
that
that
live
in
the
neighboring
homes
and
apartments.
A
A
You
know
the
the
mechanism,
the
organization,
the
logistics
to
you
know,
help
our
police
department
and
and
have
those
mental
health
providers
and
systems
in
place
because
it
was
it's
just
a
huge
eye-opener
to
see
it
like
that.
Firsthand
good
news
and
great
news
for
for
us
is:
we
have
some
incredible
police
officers
working
for
the
city
of
palm
springs.
A
A
A
That's
all
encompassing
of
the
the
mental
health
needs
that
we've
got
to
be
able
to
provide
to
you
know
all
people
in
palm
springs
so
just
want
to
share
that
with
all
of
you,
because
and
if
you
have
an
opportunity
to
to
spend
time,
I
encourage
you
all
to
do
that
on.
You
know
from
the
human
rights
commission
side
of
things,
approval
of
minutes
item
seven
december
20
21
minutes
were
attached
in
the
packet.
D
D
A
D
A
D
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
chair
and
I'll
just
defer.
I
mean
I'll,
postpone
this
to
perhaps
later
in
the
agenda.
When
we
talk
about
agenda
items
for
a
future
human
rights
commission
meeting.
Maybe
one
thing
for
the
chair
or
the
executive
committee
to
consider
at
a
future
commission
meeting
is
to
help
us
better
understand
how
we
as
a
the
human
rights
commission,
could
work
with
other
city
agencies
and
commissions
what
the
process
is
for
doing
that.
A
A
A
F
Everybody
happy
new
year.
I
have
five
items
in
regards
to
the
master
calendar
just
to
go
over
so
bear
with
me
in
hopefully
calendar
order.
One,
the
martin
luther
king
junior
commemoration
celebration
will
be
on
sunday
january
16th
at
2pm,
and
it's
down
as
the
the
the
model
for
this
year's
commemoration
is
bridging
the
communities
of
the
coachella
valley
and
jarvis
crawford.
F
F
You
could
sign
up
on
facebook
live
by
the
way.
Also,
but
there
will
there
will
be
an
in-person
event
at
the
city
of
coachella's
county
of
the
coachella's
library
and
that
again
will
occur
at
two
o'clock.
The
benediction
will
be
from
deacon
martin
sullivan
from
our
lady
of
solidad
catholic
church
in
coachella,
followed
by
a
keynote
speech
from
local
attorney
anis
smith,
and
there
will
be
entertainment
provided
by
one
of
our
community
service
award
winners
kishadi,
including
seoul
de
metiera,
ballet
folklorico,
norman
and
sharon.
Mckee
will
also
perform
african
drums.
F
So
it's
really
exciting.
This
year
the
mlk
commemoration
on
the
16th
will
be
between
the
cities
of
palm
springs
and
coachella.
Second
item:
the
riverside
county
homeless.
Point
in
time
count
is
happening.
I
know
that
that's
one
of
our
priorities
as
the
human
rights
commission.
So
please,
if
you
haven't,
received
emails
about
that,
please
sign
up
if
you're
interested
in
following
up
on
it.
You
can
also
volunteer
for
the
homeless
point
in
time
count
the
homeless.
F
F
Obtaining
an
accurate
account
of
people
experiencing
homelessness
is
critical
to
helping
our
communities
attract
the
state
and
federal
funding
needed
to
address
a
growing
public
health
crisis,
so
homelessness
impacts,
families,
individuals
and
communities
across
riverside
county,
and
we
recognize
that
this
is
an
issue
that
can
be
best
addressed
by
working
together.
So
the
point
in
the
homelessness
point
in
time
count
also
includes
the
youth
council,
so
this
will
be
happening
on
wednesday
january
26th
from
5
30
a.m
to
9
30
a.m.
F
But
there
are
all
these
different
levels
in
which
people
can
be
involved
prior
to
the
26th,
and
that
include
one
there's,
a
committee.
There
are
planning
committees
that
are
happening,
they've
been
happening
since
september
of
last
year.
There's
a
soft
count.
That's
currently
happening
until
the
17th
of
this
month.
There's
outreach
planning
until
the
25th
of
this
month
and
again
the
point
in
time.
F
Count
and
youth
count
will
be
on
january
26th,
but
you
in
order
to
volunteer,
you,
must
register
to
be
for
training,
so
there's
a
whole
process
in
that
and
again
you
could
go
to
the
website
I'll
give
it
to
you
here.
It
actually
there's
a
website
in
the
email.
The
email
actually
is
r-I-v-c-o-p-I-t
at
r-a-v-c-o
dot,
org.
So
again,
it's
rivco
pit
at
rivco.org,
but
you
could
get
all
this
information
on
the
website
related
to
the
website
county
point
in
time.
Count.
B
So
it's
our
understanding
that
this
thursday,
the
county
will
be
making
the
decision
on
whether
or
not
to
continue
with
the
with
a
point
in
time.
Count
with
having
volunteers
go
out
into
the
field.
What
they
did
last
year
was
just
an
observational
account
where
fewer
people
just
counted
individuals,
they
saw
they
did
not
take
the
time
to
interview
them.
So
there's
that
and
the
various
homeless
assistance
providers
also
will
do
a
count
at
their
facilities.
F
Thank
you,
jay
and
also
in
regards
to
the
youth
count,
actually
even
promotes
this
idea
of
you
know
being
involved
on
through
social
media.
So
if
you
look
into
the
website
and
everything
you
can
actually
be,
you
can
actually
volunteer
your
time,
not
just
for
the
in
person,
but
you
could
also
do
training
do
stuff
from
home
so
like
this
is
really
an
important
opportunity
to
be
part
of
that
count.
So
I
hope
that's
informative
on
that
level.
The
third
item
I
have
is
our
palm
springs.
Human
rights
commission
communities.
F
Community
service
awards
will
be
online
via
zoom,
again
monday
february,
14th
at
5
30
pm.
As
we
all
know,
that's
our
next
meeting
as
well.
The
fourth
item
is
february
is
african-american
history
month
the
black
history
month
parade
and
also
the
caravan
through
african-american
history
in
palm
springs
is
happening
in
the
month
of
february.
F
F
If,
if
again,
we
are
allowed
to
do
the
in
person
and
I'm
hoping
we
will
it's
really
tough
right
now,
because
I
mean
we're
all
getting
a
message
in
the
email
today
about
the
swim
center,
for
instance,
also
number
five,
the
organized
neighborhoods
of
palm
springs,
the
the
picnic
and
community
expo.
It
is
on
the
city
calendar
right
now
and
it's
currently
down
is
march
19th
at
from
11am
to
2pm
at
ruth
hardy
park
and
again
that's
the
1ps.
F
F
A
A
Okay,
you've
got
four
four
takers,
counting
yourself,
commissioner
omron
so
far.
So
that's
good.
Okay,
thank
you
for
volunteering.
Now,
let's
any
other
updates
from
committees.
I
know
the
development
mediation
commissioner
andrade
did
we
have
any
communication
with
that,
the
individual
who
is
wanting
to
volunteer
for
their
services.
C
A
C
A
lovely
summary
of
her
accomplishments
and
I
think
she
would
be
you
know
a
great
asset
to
us.
I
have
not
reached
out
to
her
yet
because
I'm
I'm
not
clear
on
what
the
city
wants.
Our
role
to
be,
and
I
feel
as
if
in
terms
of
mediation
are
we
going
to
be
used,
as
you
know,
in
in
the
mediation
capacity
are,
is
that
what
the
city
is
looking
at
us
doing?
I'd
like
to
have
a
little
more
information
before
I
reach
out
and
speak
with
her
about.
B
B
It's
kind
of
new,
my
understanding
is,
we
did
do
it
in
the
past,
I'm
not
familiar
with
how
that
was
orchestrated,
but
I
would
think
just
getting
the
details
of
the
case
to
each
of
the
commissioners
who
might
be
involved
and
then
having
some
kind
of
a
mediation
session.
I'm
not
sure
what
that
entails.
B
That
would
I
would
defer
to
whatever
the
training
provided
and
then
see
if
there
can
be
a
positive
outcome
and
if
not,
then
you
know
that's
that's
the
way
the
commission
tried,
and
you
know
I
don't
know
again
what
what
the
training
recommends.
Things
get
kind
of
difficult,
but
you
know
I
would
think
that
that
would
be
the
process
moving,
that
forward,
that
we
could
still
work
on
those
types
of
initiatives
that
again
commission
up
to
you
on
how
to
refine
that
and
make
that
work.
B
A
Thank
you,
so
I
I
we
haven't
received,
you
know
anything
to
tell
us
that
we're
you
know
we
shouldn't
be
doing
mediation
anymore,
so
I
thank
you
jay
and,
commissioner
andrade.
I
think
that
really,
you
know,
sets
the
the
steps
forward
for
you
and
commissioner
romeron
and
commissioner
flood
right
that
you
all
attended
the
training
yeah.
So
please
do
carry
forward,
and
and
now
we
have,
we
have
good
resources
to
actually
be
able
to.
C
A
B
A
A
D
D
A
D
A
Are
that
was
the
guy?
The
guidance
we
got
was
that
last
fourth
quarter
last
year,
commissioner,
is
the
basically
all
our
all.
Our
committees
are
standing
committees
and
you
know
every
now
and
then,
if
we
can
think
of
an
ad
hoc
meeting,
you
know
that
is
a
different
circumstance.
But
right
now
we
don't
have
any
ad
hoc
committees.
A
D
A
A
A
What
we
do
is
we
we
see
if
there's
interest
from
the
different
commissioners
to
actually
be
involved
in
introducing
the
honoree
in
february,
and
we
come
to
some
consensus
as
to
how
we
want
the
awards
program
to
go,
but
for
historical
purposes,
I'll
read
through
the
honorees
and
scheffer
vaccinate
inland
empire
vacci
chad
gardner
is
honoree.
Nikki
stone
is
being
recognized,
as
is
jimmy
bogle,
the
desert,
healthcare
district
and
foundation
and
vincent
corrales
and
dean
levine.
A
Those
are
the
honorees
being
recognized
for
their
service
in
the
community
that
ranges
from
volunteerism
and
and
years
of
volunteerism
to
thinking
of
ways
to
continue
to
serve
our
community
through
the
covet
crisis
in
in
creative
ways
to
engage
the
community.
You
know
through
these
last
year
and
a
half
that
has
been
difficult
for
so
many.
A
A
So
it
was
really
well
attended
online.
I
I'm
I'm
recalling
more
than
75
people
attended
last
year
and
it's
nice,
because
family
members
are
still
able
to
participate,
no
matter
where
they
live,
so
the
zoom
actually
is.
It
has
convenience
to
it
when
it
comes
to
being
able
for
them
to
invite
their
friends
and
family
that
don't
live
local
and
we
had.
We
had
family
and
friends.
You
know
joining
in
the
call
last
year,
so
that
made
it
a
little
more
meaningful
and
special
for
our
honorees.
A
D
A
A
Okay,
at
the
so
at
this
meeting
we
did
solicit
if
there
was
any
interest
in
in
particular.
If
any
commissioner
had
a
a
special
connection
to
one
of
the
honorees,
we
certainly
want
to
accommodate
those
any
requests
along
those
lines.
So
do
we
have
any
special
requests
in
this
year
that
anybody
would
like
to
do
an
introduction,
in
particular,.
D
A
C
A
C
A
A
F
A
E
I
was
just
going
to
say
very
briefly
that
I
noticed
there
was
a
few
typos
when
our
document
went
out
to
make
the
public
announcements.
So
if
we
can
make
sure
that
you
know
someone
proofreads
everything
make
sure
that
you
know
that
there
are
no
typos
and
things
like
that.
That
would
be
great
and
I
would
be
happy
to
introduce
anyone.
A
Yeah,
why
don't
you
if
you
can
send
the
correction
to
jay
and
myself
yeah,
and
we
can
make
sure
that
they
get
they
get
changed
at
city
hall
and
they'll
be
corrected
for
the
next
go
round,
because
it
will
go
out
again
reminding
folks
of
the
the
zoom
link
date
and
time?
Okay,
great!
Thank
you
all
right.
F
Just
one
other
thing:
I
I
just
wanted
to
put
this
on
record,
because
I've
said
this
before
I'm
not
a
big
fan
of
the
the
city's
letterhead
only
because
it
really
it
really
favors,
like
you,
know,
leonardo
dicaprio
too
much
so
like.
I
wish
our
city
would
really
promote
something
that
really
promotes
the
diversity
of
our
city.
If
we
want
to
really
be
you
know
where
this
you
know,
the
people
are
the
city.
I
don't
think
the
people,
I
don't
think
the
city
is
defined
just
by
leonardo
dicaprio.
Thank
you.
D
A
A
A
G
Mr
chair,
can
I
bring
up
an
item?
Yeah
please,
this
is
might
be
under
tropical
news,
usually
items
the
national
organization
of
the
american
legion
has
a
program
called
buddycheck22
and
it's
a
program
that
reaches
out
to
possibly
at-risk
veterans,
and
the
22
number
indicates
that
that's
the
average
number
of
suicides
a
day
and
that's
an
issue
that
just
will
not
go
away
and
I
think
it
should
be
brought
up
to
the
public
at
every
chance
we
get
to
to
reach
out.
G
The
buddy
check
is
that
on
the
22nd
of
each
month,
22nd
date
of
each
month,
veterans
and
buddy
buddy
check
will
call
a
text
so
just
reach
out
and
communicate
with
someone
another
veteran
to.
Let
them
know
that
they're
not
alone,
so
I
just
want
to
bring
that
up
and
make
people
aware
of
that.
That's
all.
G
G
A
D
We
did
that
priority
matrix
and
I'm
it's
kind
of
unclear.
What
happened
to
that?
I
think
you
referred
to
that
earlier
in
your
comments,
so
I
don't
know
if
that's
still
being
fleshed
out,
but
just
from
trying
to
want
to
be
more
effective
in
2022.
If
we
can
be
because
I
just
need
some
help
and
guidance
and.
A
That
yeah
all
right
thanks,
there's
a
there's
a
lot
in
the
questions
you
got
there.
I
I
can
certainly
answer
the
our
priorities
were
part
of
the
city
planning
with
council
and
the
strategy
or
strategic
planning
that
is,
is
I
I
think
we're
going
to
hear
about
it
fairly
soon,
even
at
the
thursday
meeting.
Is
that
true
jay?
That's.
B
A
A
How
is,
is
there
opportunities
for
us
to
to
come
together
during
the
year
and
and
find
those
links
that
you
know
that
are
there
and
maybe
just
part
of
it
is
just
letting
them
know
we
are
interested
in
wanting
to
you
know,
assist
when
things
come
fall
in
human
rights,
realm
jay.
Any
suggestions
from
you
on
how
we
might
best.
B
Well,
this
thursday,
the
city
council
will
be
discussing.
You
know
we're
kind
of
downstream
at
this
point,
because
the
priorities
established
by
different
departments
by
different
commissions
have
been
evaluated
and
reviewed
and
taken
into
consideration
by
the
city
council
and
preparing
the
items
that
that
will
be
discussed
on
thursday.
So
what
all
that
has
led
to
is
sort
of
a
narrowing
of
the
focus
for
the
city
to
sort
of
utilize.
B
B
D
Jay,
I
think,
to
share
those
question
was
more
any
suggestion
on
how
we
or
I
as
a
commissioner,
could
reach
out
to
a
particular
commission
or
agency
of
the
city
to
see
how
we
might
better
partner
or
network
or
cooperate
with
them,
and
I
wasn't
sure
if
everything
had
to
go
through
you
as
the
staff
liaison
or
through
the
chair
or
if
it's
permissible
to
have
a
commissioner
call
a
commission
another
commissioner
on
another
commission.
That's
what
I'm
unclear
of
well.
B
I
guess
I
was
getting
to
the
the
purpose
of
the
contact
and
cooperation
that
that
would
kind
of
be
driven
by
the
priorities
and
but
if
there
is
a
need
to
and
and
a
reason
to
do
so,
I
would
just
make
sure
a
couple
things
that
the
entire
commission
understands
that
that
contact
is
being
made.
And
for
what
reasons
and
that
you
know,
of
course,
there's
always
a
brown
act
and
you're
you're.
Always
of
course,
welcome
to
contact.
A
A
A
They
got
rid
of
council,
my
understanding
is,
we
got
rid
of
council
liaisons
at
some
point
in
time
last
year,
but
we
we
continued
to
have
direct
connection
to
the
council
by
council,
member,
garner
coors
and
the
the
mayor
or
mayor
hostage
at
the
time
has
always
had
a
a
fine,
this
fine
spot
in
her
heart
for
the
human
rights
commission.
So
we
we
had.
We
had
a
number
of
council
council
members
watching
over
us,
but
not
enough,
not
an
official
liaison.
A
A
A
E
A
A
E
No
one
cared
like
literally,
everyone
was
just
like
okay
and
I
guess
you're
in
the
backpack
and
they'll
walk
the
way.
I
know
there's
a
good
handful
of
kids
who
do
sports,
who
have
to
take
tests
every
weekend
or
like
every
monday,
and
those
kids
thought
it
was
really
convenient
and
really
nice
to
have.
E
E
I
know
that's
a
huge
thing,
but
I
I
it's
been
so
long
that
no
one
really
cares
anymore,
like
everyone's
just
kind
of
used
to
it
and
lives
with
it,
and
everyone
just
likes
it
and
it's
kind
of
ready
for
it
to
be
over,
but
we're
just
sitting
kind
of
waiting.
So
it's
it's
it's
so
it's
there's
no
real,
like.
A
Yeah
yeah
all
right.
Well,
good
luck
to
you
on
the
the
chest.
I
don't
think
it's
the
kind
that
you
have
to
shove.
It
all
the
way
up
to
your
brain.
You
just
do
the
yeah,
the
outer
nostrils.
So
it's
not
going
to
be
that
bad.
If
you
have
to
do
it
all
right,
okay!
Well,
thank
you
lily.
We
appreciate
you
continuing
to
to
serve
with
us
and
with
that
we
will
adjourn.
