Actually,
we
don't
have
very
much
in
terms
of
update.
We
are
moving
along
on
the
logistical
front.
We're
gonna
do
a
basically
a
bit
of
a
drive
through
kind
of
dry
run
with
the
facility
and
maintenance
department,
the
streets
department,
pde
is
gonna,
come
out
and
just
kind
of
try
and
kind
of
remind
everybody.
The
process
of
the
street
closure,
so
that
on
july
1st
we
can
run
the
street
closer,
pretty
pretty
seamlessly.
E
As
you're
aware,
it's
a
very
tight
closure
in
terms
of
timing,
the
streets
department,
which
is
actually
actually
it's
the
streets
department
in
conjunction
with
the
downtown
maintenance
crew
who
close
the
streets
for
us.
They
start
probably
about
20
minutes
before
the
closure
actually
starts
doing.
They
do
all
of
the
pre-signage.
That
goes
out
in
terms
of
advance
warnings
for
people
who
are
driving
down
palm
canyon,
driving
down
amato,
andreas
and
also
now
museum
and
a
little
bit
of
signage
will
go
on
to
talk
with
on
both
the
east
and
west
side.
E
So
they
start
put
placing
that
that
stuff
out
and
then
we
close
palm
canyon.
It
typically
is
probably
about
10
to
15
minutes
before
six
o'clock,
so
we
just
are
going
to
kind
of
do
a
drive
through
and
make
sure
that
we're
all
on
the
same
page
so
that
the
closure
on
july
1st
happens
pretty
seamlessly.
E
So
that's
scheduled
to
go
up
early
next
week,
but
I
think
on
the
kind
of
logistical
front
from
all
of
the
different
divisions
within
the
city
that
actually
make
village
fest
happen.
We
are
ready
to
go.
We
have
on
our
sept
meeting
next
tuesday
we're
gonna
kind
of
just
talk
through
a
couple
more
logistics.
E
So
if
anybody
has
any
interest
you're
more
than
welcome
those
are
still
on
zoom
for
the
time
being,
you're
more
than
welcome
to
chime
in
and
listen
to
some
of
those
logistics,
but
I
feel
really
comfortable
with
the
opening
on
the
terms
on
terms
of
village.
Fest
vendors
faith
has
been
working
very
diligently
on
contacting
all
the
vendors,
letting
them
know
when
our
start
date
is
and
who's
going
to
get
started.
E
E
We
hope
to
probably
get
that,
though,
that
that
portion
figured
out
by
the
end
of
the
week
so
that
everybody,
so
faith
can
provide
assignments
at
the
beginning
of
next
week
to
all
of
the
vendors
the
spacing
numbers
are
are
still
out
on
the
street.
We
did
a
walk
through.
So
all
the
numbers
are
okay,
we're
just
going
to
have
to
add
some
some
space
numbers
on
to
museum
way,
but
we
feel
really
good.
It's
pretty
good,
diverse
group
of
vendors
that
will
be
starting
on
july
1st.
B
B
E
A
E
Yeah
absolutely
so
right
now
we're
just
waiting
for
the
cameras
to
go
up
that
are
supposed
to
be
on
her
for
24
hours
24
hours
a
day.
Those
are
supposed
to
be
up
by
tomorrow.
So
as
soon
as
those
are
up-
and
we
confirm
that
everything's
running
all
that
fencing
will
be
down,
the
only
fencing
that
will
stay
up
is
on
the
north
end
of
the
park
just
for
safety
until
we
can
get
until
the
park
is
finished.
E
B
F
E
G
E
F
E
I
wouldn't
say
the
extent
we
do
have
some
vendors
who
have
said
they
can't
come
back
on
the
first,
but
they
are
do
plan
on
coming
back
during
the
summer
season.
So
it's
you
know
just
like
during
the
season,
the
number
vendors
fluctuate
quite
a
bit
in
terms
of
you
know,
someone
can
call
and
say.
Oh
I
see
it's
going
to
be
118.,
I'm
not
going
to
come
out
today
or
you
know
the
ice
cream
vendors
will
make
sure
they
they're
out
every
thursday
based
on
heat.
E
E
B
So
with
faith-
and
I
saw
a
couple
of
vendors
on
the
grand
reopening
that
god
bless
them-
they
they
they
stuck
it
out
as
long
as
they
could
and
then
retreated
to
air
conditioning
and
ice
water
and
a
few
that
didn't
manage
to
make
it
because
of
the
heat
the
10-day
forecast
right
now
is
roughly
about
110,
which,
having
done
it
on
those
days,
is
actually
it's
not
easy.
Don't
get
me
wrong,
but
it's
tolerable
at
that
time
of
day,
520.
B
G
B
I
am
planning
to
bring
a
chest
full
of
ice
and
ice
water
for
us
to
make
sure
we
stay
hydrated
and
have
things
to
share
if
need
be,
but
all
things
considered
it's
manageable
for
us
and
not
vendors,
I'm
sure
are
going
to
be
coin
tossing.
I
want
the
money.
I
want
the
business,
but
I
can't
stand
the
heat.
B
B
G
B
C
E
That's
a
very
good
question,
joy
and
actually
faith,
and
I
had
this
conversation
earlier
in
the
day.
It
is
not
off
of
our
normal
july
schedule
july
is
when
it
typically
starts
to
really
heat
up,
so
we're
probably
about
10
to
15
vendors
off
of
what
normally
would
be
during
the
month
of
july.
So
that's
not
it's
not
bad
excellent.
C
C
Fair
enough
well,
right
now
we
have
10
food
vendors
that
are
signed
up,
but
every
food
vendor
has
to
go
through
the
health
department
anymore,
and
it
takes
them
a
couple
weeks
because
someone
else
is
filling
in.
So
that's
taking
a
little
bit
of
time,
so
I'm
hoping
that
they
can
get
all
their
credentials
in
order
before
starting
and
then
for
fun.
A
A
C
D
D
D
G
G
C
G
G
A
B
B
My
request
is
that
everybody
from
the
board
come
to
the
ribbon,
cutting
in
a
white
shirt,
preferably
with
a
collar.
Remember,
you're,
going
to
be
on
tv
across
the
valley
and
I'll
come
back
in
a
second
cilia.
A
nice
footnote
on
this
little
thing
is
that
when
I
told
amy,
who
is
the
director
of
communications
and
public
relations
for
the
city
that
we
will
be,
the
board
will
be
there.
We
will
be
there
in
full
force.
We
will
be
in
new
village,
fest
shirts,
showing
off
village
fest.
B
A
A
B
A
C
C
B
B
B
G
C
B
A
E
B
A
C
C
D
A
A
B
E
E
That
is
something
that
she
and
I
discussed
today
in
terms
of,
if
we're
ready
to
start
seeing
new
vendors
and
she
does
have
quite
a
few
applications
that
are
coming
in.
So
this
will
be
our
last
virtual
meeting,
we're
going
to
start
holding
them
in
person
so
that
we
can
start
to
see
new
vendors.
So
we
will
anticipate
that
our
following
meeting
from
this
one
will
be
in
person
in
the
large
conference
room
so
that
we
could
start
bringing
in
some
new
vendors.
E
B
D
E
So
most
commissions
still
are
going
dark.
We're
we're
one
of
few
commissions
who
started
later.
A
lot
of
other
commissions
started
back
up
virtually
it's
just
because
our
event
wasn't
moving
forward.
We
didn't
have
business
to
discuss
yet
so
we
would
have
to
decide
that
as
a
board.
What
how
we
want
to
approach
that
city
council
does
go
dark
in
august.
E
You
know
what
I
need
to
confirm
that
I'm
not
sure
if
they're
going
dark
this
august
or
not,
but
a
lot
of
various
commissions
and
boards
do
go
typically
go
dark
in
august,
so
we
can
decide
as
a
board
how
we
want
to
approach
that
it's
been.
It's
been
positive
for
village
fest,
because
we
don't
receive
a
lot
of
applications
during
that
timeframe.
August
is
just
one
of
those
months.
That's
really
difficult
for
people
to
get
started.
E
F
E
B
C
B
Let's,
let's
sort
of
put
that
table
that
idea
for
right
now,
based
on
how
the
first
goes
and
just
sort
of
I
think
I
play
it
by
ear-
would
leave
me
more
comfortable
than
making
a
blanket
decision
right
now?
Okay,
especially
if
we
have
you
know,
phase
two
and
other
things
to
look
at
in
those
items.
That's
true,
that's
fair!
B
E
Have
an
update
at
this
time.
I
did
pass
the
information
on
to
the
engineering
department
and
they're
going
to
work
on
creating
a
traffic
plan
of
what
that
phase.
2
would
look
like
for
for
the
board
and
then
I'd
like
to
take
it
to
the
special
events
planning
team,
so
that
I
could
get
their
feedback
on
the
the
actual
logistics
of
making
that
closure
and
how
traffic
would
be
detoured
around
it
and
then
ideally
report
that
back
to
the
board
at
their
next
board
meeting.
G
E
No
so
we've
already
processed
the
the
potential
for
phase
two
of
integrating
into
the
the
parklet
portion
so
that
the
southbound
option,
so
what
I
sent
to
engineering
was
to
create
a
traffic
plan
of
our
last
discussion,
which
was
the
northbound
so
from
amato
up
to
alejo
road.
So
that's
what
they'll
work
with,
because
that's
actually
the
street
portion
now.
E
You
know,
and
we
can
figure
that
out
later
down
the
line.
If
this
is
the
road
we'd
like
to
go
on,
because
what
we
would
have
to
do,
if
the
board
decides,
they
want
to
look
at
phase
two
moving
northbound
is
that
does
need
to
go
back
to
city
council,
because
currently,
city
council
has
approved
the
southbound
option,
which
was
the
integration
with
the
parklets
options
so
gotcha.
E
D
E
So
that's
that's
currently
what's
approved,
that's
what
council
approved
was
us
for
us
to
do
a
phase
two
which
would
run
from
chocolates
canyon,
inclusive
of
chocolates
canyon,
east
and
west.
All
the
way
down
to
barista
road,
so
city
council's
approved
that
so
whenever
we
feel
we
have,
you
know
the
vendors
whenever
we
feel
you
know
that
we're
set
and
ready
to
add
that
extension
on
we
can.
We
can
do
it
at
any
time.
E
What
this
were
discussed
at
our
last
board
meeting
was
the
option
of
not
extending
southbound
but
extending
northbound
to
alejo
road
because
it
has
less
parklets.
So
it's
less
intrusive.
We
could
probably
get
probably
about
15
to
20
additional
vendors
into
the
northbound
area
than
we
could
into
the
southbound
area
because
of
the
parklets,
and
I
just
realized
you
missed
that
discussion,
so
sorry
about
no!
No,
no
it
just
if
you
have
any
feedback,
it's
absolutely
okay
to
have
that
that
discussion
now
with
the
entire
board.
D
G
Julie,
they
haven't
really
voted
on
it,
but
I
encourage
you
if
you
have
an
opinion
on
whether
or
not
you
think
that
parklets
are
good
or
bad
for
your
business
or
other
retail
businesses
that
you
definitely
let
console
know
how
you
feel
about
that,
and
I
don't
know
how
you
feel
about
it.
But
council.
E
E
C
F
I
was
saying
that
I
would
like
to
see
it
for
the
southbound
part.
Should
we
go
into
the
full
original
footprint,
because
that's
the
area
where
I
think
we
might
have
village
fest
for
like
a
few
blocks,
then
a
whole
block
of
a
break
and
then
more
village
fest,
which
I
don't
know
about
you.
But
if
I
was
a
vendor,
I
wouldn't
want
to
be
in
that
south
end.
Absolutely.
E
Well,
okay,
so
I'll
tell
you
from
my
personal
experience
of
working
with
with
the
vendors
for
so
many
years.
The
vendors
that
are
in
the
south,
this
further
south
block
so
from
arenas
to
barista
are
are
die
hard,
do
not
move
my
spot
or
I
will
kill
your
first
born
child
and
they
say
there's
something
about
the
restaurants
that
help
their
business.
So
much
so.
G
E
Think
that,
if
I
believe
that,
if
we
opened
up
that
block-
and
it
was
just
one
side
of
the
road
which
is
what
it
would
end
up
being-
is
the
west
side
of
the
street,
we
would
probably
have
vendors
pretty
much
all
the
way
down
and
then
nothing
on
the
other
side.
I
think
that
still
would
be
one
of
the
most
popular
blogs,
there's
just
something
about
the
people
who
dine
they
come
out
and
they
spend
money
after
they've
dined,
probably
because
they're
also
drinking.
But
you
know.
F
G
F
D
So
my
question
would
be
if
from
barista
going
south
where
the
bevmo
is
and
the
rite
aid
is-
and
there
are
no
parklets
there.
Why
can't
we
use
that
whole
next
street
and
just
move
it
down,
because
that
street
has
no
parklist?
You
can
fit
more
vendors.
You
can
probably
fit
about
60
more
vendors
right.
There.
A
E
B
Julie
before
the
from
experience
on
that,
even
with
the
one
is
jeep
generators
create
an
excessive
amount
of
sound
number
two.
You
now
have
people
who
are
more
interested
in
cash
flow
than
generators,
so
they
didn't
fill
it
up
right.
So
now
you
have
a
generator
that
has
been
heated
and
they
are
now
starting
to
pour
gasoline
into
it
in
a
crowd
full
of
people.
F
F
B
B
D
B
Get
it
we
also
get
into
shutting
down
the
parking
areas
for
some
major
businesses?
Yes
only
on
one
side,
but
there
are
some
very
major
logistics
issues,
not
to
mention
that
street
is
a
natural
natural
wash,
so
it
has
the
big
dip
in
other
things.
So
it's
actually
a
very
good
idea,
but
I
think
that
on
a
short
term,
it
could
be
very
problematic
if
we
get
big
enough,
we
have
to
grow
well,
then
we
have
money
to
throw
it
power
lines.
C
E
C
B
B
F
G
G
You
know
the
businesses
and
the
entire
event
and
that
maybe
the
bureau
tourism
might
help
out
downtown
on
that
and
maybe
village
fest
as
well
to
maybe
list
them
on
the
website
or
you
know,
help
promote
that.
There's
also
going
to
be
businesses
open
because
most
are
open
in
the
footprint,
but
once
you
get
out
of
the
footprint
they
are
not,
and
so
I
I'm
hoping
that
that
I
mean
I'm
gonna,
we're
gonna.
G
G
G
Yeah,
so
it's
called
bolt
jasmine.
I
have
some
old
emails
from
2008
between
us
because
we
were
redoing
the
logo
for
it.
So
this
is
a
it's
a
bus,
an
eight
and
a
half
by
11,
sign
that
we
put
in
the
window
so
that
people
know
that
these
businesses
are
open
late
thursday
in
support
of
the
event.
So
that's
all
I'm
not
really
asking
you
for
anything.
I
just
wanna.
Let
you
know
that
we're
gonna
be
bringing
that
back
just
so
that
we
could
all
support
each
other.
G
Yeah
I
mean
I'm
already
talking
to
the
cva
and
tourism
about
it,
because
I,
I
just
think
it's
nice
we're
all
gonna
work
together.
You
know
we're
restarting
village
fest.
I
think
it's
it's
just
gonna
be
really
nice
together,
and
maybe
some
businesses
won't
feel
as
much
of
a
need
to
come
out
on
the
street
if
they
had
that
encouragement
that
they
would
also
be
promoted
as
being
open.

But
it
whatever,
and
whatever
I
mean,
maybe
I
could
even
get
jeffrey
to
you
know.
Maybe
we
could
do
something
a
little
spiffier
than
what
we've
worked
on,
but
but
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
I'm
working
on
that
and
you
know
we-
we
would
like
to
just
work
together
with
the
merchants
and
the
vendors
and
and
work
together.
B

I
do
not
have
an
update.
The
city
attorney
did
email
me
today.
He
says
he
has
someone
working
on
it
and
I
just
asked
him
to
either
one
get
me
something
back
in
writing
before
our
next
board
meeting
or
if
he
would
like
to
attend
the
board
meeting
and
speak
during
during
staff
reports.
That
he's
more
than
welcome
to
to
kind
of
give
us
an
update
of
what
that
was
it.
E
E
G
E
On
our
previous
discussion,
I
just
asked
if
he
would
provide
us
with
the
current
state.
Guidelines
are
for
it,
so
that,
as
as
this
board
starts
to
review
new
vendors,
they
had
that
information
on
hand,
and
he
said
he
had
someone
researching
it
and
that
they
would
provide
us
further
detail
because,
like
I
told
them
in
my
original
email
after
our
last
board
meeting
that
you
that
the
board
was
inquiring,
they
wanted
to
have
that
information
kind
of
in
their
back
pocket.
E
E
B
D
D
You
know,
I
think
in
my
own
opinion,
and
I
don't
know
how
joy
feels
about
it,
but
I
think
there's
enough
cannabis
downtown
that
I
don't
think.
Why
should
we
advertise
more?
I
mean
I
don't
understand.
Unless
they're
gonna
pay
a
fee
to
stand
out
there
and
advertise
in
a
booth,
I
don't
that
takes
up
room
that
we
really
don't.
We
can
put
a
good
vendor.
You
know
a
good
place.
Let's.
G
It
is
on
the
agenda,
though,
so
we
could
talk
about
it
right
now,
right
right,
so
julie,
I
mean.
I
part.
The
thing
that
I
brought
up
in
this
discussion
previously
was
that
you
know
based
on
the
state's
advertising
what
the
state
allows
as
far
as
advertising
and
children
and
stuff
nope,
that
this
is
a
family
event.
I
did
not.
I
felt
like
it
like.
This
would
not
be
allowed
in
a
family
event.
D
B
E
F
G
C
G
G
E
B
E
E
E
I
am
going
to.
We
have
a
couple
organizations
that
participate
with
villagefest
as
city
departments,
city
programs
that
participate
with
villagefest
free
of
charge,
and
it's
been
it's
been
that
way
since
before
before
I
was
part
of
village
fest,
which
was
over
15
years
ago
now,
so
because
we
have
a
new
city
manager
and
he
seems
to
be
doing
things
in
a
different
manner,
I'm
going
to
have
that
re
reevaluated
by
our
city
council.
E
I
I
would
assume
that
they're
going
to
continue
that
process,
but
I
do
just
want
to
make
sure
that
villagefest
is
doing
is
working
above
the
board
and
that
there's
no
conversation
about
the
possibility
that
we
are
allowing
people
to
participate,
some
people
to
participate
free
of
charge
and
other
people
not
to
participate
free
of
charge.
So
just
I'll
I'll.
Let
the
board
know
as
that
moves
forward,
but
just
to
be
on
the
safer
side,
I
would
love
for
to
get
approval
from
city
council.
B
C
C
E
C
E
So
I
I
try
and
sit
in
on
the
1ps
events
committee
meetings,
because
a
lot
of
the
activities
that
they
participate
in
are
events
that
are
run
through
my
office.
So
they
requested
at
their
last
meeting,
to
become
more
visible
to
the
community,
one
to
get
more
people
involved
in
their
own
neighborhood
personal
neighborhoods,
as
well
as
just
bring
awareness
to
the
program
to
visitors
of
of
the
organization
and
what
palm
springs.
What
each
neighborhood
provides.
E
C
I
think
it's
a
logical
plan,
one
that
needs
to
be
thought
out
a
little
more
and
I
could
see
them
adding
value
by
having
a
regularly
manned
persons,
booth
with
say
four
representatives
that
rotated
out
every
week
representing
four
different
neighborhoods.
But
if
it
was
a
a
monopoly
of
the
same
four
powerful
neighborhoods.
All
the
time.
B
Well,
that
would
be
up
to
1ps,
because
we
only
approve
that
1ps
is
getting
the
booth
who
staffs.
It
is
up
to
you
guys,
a
regular
feature,
though,
in
what
jasmine's
brought
up.
Why
she's
going
to
do
the
staff
report
is
presently
that
means
it's
a
free
space
and
therefore
we're
losing
booth
revenue
on
a
so
that's
where
that
budgeting.
