Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
As
you
are
you're
having
your
conversations
during
the
meeting,
the
agenda
was
emailed
to
all
of
you
and
was
posted
per
city
regulations.
Is
there
a
motion
that
we
might
accept
the
agenda
as
post?
It
so
moved
so
moved
in
a
second
from
Commissioner
Gotha,
all
in
favor
say:
yes,
if
opposed
say,
no
abstain
and
the
motion
passes.
A
A
We're
delighted
that
you
are
here
just
this
is
super
that
we
can
hear
from
you
about
what
your
perception
is,
that
council
is
doing,
and
there
can
be
a
little
dialogue,
knowing
knowing
that
at
this
point,
the
Lea
flora
regulations
are
our
before
council
not
really
before
us.
We
appreciate
the
chance,
though,
for
the
conversation
correct.
B
B
Think
it's
on
the
meeting,
and
this
subject
got
a
little
off
track
and
in
hindsight,
I
wish
I
called
someone
from
sustainability
out
to
be
able
to
address
some
of
the
questions
that
came
up,
but
I
really
do
want
to
thank
everyone
for
the
work
on
this
and
I.
Think
there
was.
You
know
it
had
been
a
while
ago,
but
I
think
you
know
we
had
a
joint
meeting
on
this.
B
Where
council
was
unanimous
and
asking
for
the
next
part
to
go
forward
I
think,
then
you
brought
forward
recommendations
which
were
unanimous
on
and
then
we
asked
for
an
ordinance
and
then
I
think
some
people
forgot
that
whole
process,
so
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
the
process
and
really
thank
people
for
it,
because
a
lot
of
work
went
into
it.
Obviously,
I'll
wait
till
the
meeting,
but
I
have
publicly
said
I'm
inclined
to
support
the
recommendation.
B
But
that
was
one
of
the
issues.
The
other
issue,
which
I
think
the
mayor
raised,
was
cost
that
what's
gonna
happen
is
the
city
will
be
able
to
afford
it,
but
the
landscapers
won't
because
they're
going
to
be
$1,500
each
and
so
finally
got
a
AQMD.
Although
it's
not
official
yet
well,
I
think
it's
official,
they
just
haven't
posted
yet
is
going
to
do
an
exchange
program
again,
and
there
are
three
models
that
they're
going
to
be
recommending:
the
sort
of
commercial
backpack
battery
one
is.
B
$1400,
but
they
will
give
me
covering
all
but
500
of
it,
so
will
be
not
more
than
900
ollar
savings
for
folks
who
get
those
and
exchange
them.
So
it's
not
to
be
the
1,400
that
I
think
people
are
understandably
concerned
that
every
landscaper
had
to
spend
$1400.
That's
not
actually
going
to
be
true,
so
that
wasn't
available
at
the
council
meeting
and
it
will
be
when
this
comes
back.
B
They
are
for
non-residential
use,
recommending
or
suggesting
for
folks
who
want
to
do
a
low
mission,
gas
one
that
is
going
to
be
one
of
their
exchange
options
and
that's
going
to
cost
$250
after
all
the
cost
and
their
grants,
and
then
there's
a
handheld
battery.
That's
more
I
think
for
people
to
have
at
their
house,
because
that
lasts
about
a
half
and
that's
gonna
be
$200.
So
some
of
the
cost
issues
I
think
are
not
what
the
concerns
were.
So
at
least
I
think
we
have
an
answer
to
that.
B
B
B
C
B
And
I've
seen
what
doing
a
bunch
of
research?
What
a
lot
of
the
cities
I
mean:
they're
cities
that
have
sort
of
banned
gas,
electric
battery
and
other
things
through
noise
organs
right.
So
if
it's
over
65
they're
out
no
matter
what
it
is
within
a
certain
decibel
within
a
certain
distance
from
residential.
So
that's
just
one
thing:
I
think
council
can
discuss
at
the
meeting,
but
I
didn't
know
if
there
was
discussion
here
so
I
wanted
to
check
on
that.
But
I
do
think.
B
We
have
a
lot
more
data
now
and
we're
continuing
to
do
it.
Indian
Wells
obviously
has
banned
gas
that
allows
electric
and
battery
whether
they
enforce
it
or
not,
is
something
we're
trying
to
find
out
and
how
that's
working
for
them,
because
I
do
think
we
want
to
when
this
comes
back
to
Council,
which
is
going
to
July
19th.
Just
so
folks
know
that's
the
date
that
it's
gonna
be
set
for
to
have
as
much
data
as
possible
right.
We
want
to
have
as
much
information
as
possible.
B
I
will
tell
you
that
of
the
ATR,
so
emails
I've
gotten
about
90%
are
for
the
recommendation
from
sustainability
that
we
get.
You
know
the
noisy
and
the
gap.
We
get
those
issues,
but
don't
get
rid
of
entirely
because
a
desert,
landscaping
and
I
think
the
staff
report
on
that
and
the
work
that
was
done
really
laid
that
out
in
a
thoughtful
way.
B
E
E
B
Right
and
now
they
were
preempted
on
the
emissions
issue,
so
I
mean,
but
the
particulate
matter
we're
not,
and
one
of
the
things
I'm
looking
at,
adding
which
I
plan
to
try
and
add
that
evening,
but
we'll
bring
back
and
if
anyone
has
thoughts
on
this,
please
share
is
to
really
require
a
class
for
every
gardener
who
uses
them.
I
mean
one
for
their
health,
because,
even
though
it's
recommended
they
wear
masks,
you
know
they
don't
and
everything.
B
B
That
I
was
at
I
mean
that's
the
really
nasty
stuff
and
they
don't
want
they
particularly
don't
like
blowing
on
the
streets
and
that
you
actually
have
to
blow
it
into
the
property
and
not
out
so
I
think
there
are
things
we
can
do
to
try
and
address
some
of
the
concerns
that
still
exist
with
electric
and
battery
as
far
as
a
particulate
matter.
So
that's
just
something
I.
Think
I'm
going
to
add
to
the
conversation
when
this
comes
back
and.
A
C
Actually,
when
our
committee
made
the
first
recommendation,
we
just
talked
about
our
education
for
the
business
owners
and
then,
after
discussing
it
at
the
Commission,
we
revised
our
recommendation
to
include
training
for
all
operators,
not
taking
a
look
at
the
sea
bag.
Training
for
scalping.
That
looks
really
good.
Is
that
something
that
we
might
be
able
to
develop
in
conjunction
with
seabag?
Yes,.
B
Ennifer
so
the
last
sivak
meeting,
which
was
a
day
after
a
councilman
episode,
present
about
our
new
ordinance,
but
so
we
talked
about
that
and
I
asked
them
to
if
we
could
develop
some
kind
of
training
same
with
desert.
You
know
landscaping
I
mean
that
we
should
do
that.
Valley
wide
I
know.
Palm
Desert
is
looking
into
doing
a
leaf
blower
ban
of
some
kind
and
there's
some
other
cities
so
trying
to
get
that
information
and
doing
it
see
bag
white
I
think
would
be
a
really
effective
way
to
do.
It
would.
C
Be
great
yeah,
but
just
one
other
point
I
wanted
to
make,
as
we
emphasized
at
the
end
of
our
recommendation.
You
know
the
fact
that
a
lot
of
people
had
stepped
up
to
getting
rid
of
their
their
graphs
and
putting
in
desert
landscape.
English,
creates
unique
challenges
and
I
think
that
that
didn't
seem
to
be
understood
as
well
two
weeks
ago,
but
we
felt
that
if
it
hadn't
been
the
case,
we
might
have
been
more
in
favor
of
banning
blowers
altogether.
C
B
And
I
think
that
was
laid
out
well
in
the
February
report
and
so
I
think,
based
on
the
emails
that
we're
all
getting
I,
think
that's
really
loud
and
clear
that
there
are
a
lot
of
people
who
are
concerned
about
that.
You
know
that
they
ripped
up
their
grass
and
now
this
is
going
to
create
some
hardship
for
them.
B
B
A
A
F
Use
this
one,
it's
going
to
be
a
pretty
short
report.
We
have
been
waiting
for
a
very
long
time
to
get
the
sustainability
and
planning
commission's
recommendations
on
solar
mandate
before
City
Council,
and
that
has
been
scheduled.
It
will
be
July
5th
and
I
would
certainly
like
to
encourage,
as
many
from
both
the
sustainability
Commission
and
the
Planning
Commission,
to
be
present
on
July
5,
when
they
do
consider
that
and
with
that
I,
don't
have
anything
else
that
is
direct
to
sustainability.
F
An
important
issue
that
came
before
the
Planning
Commission
at
our
last
meeting
was
to
approve
a
cooling
station,
a
administrative
offices
on
South
Calais
in
Celia
for
the
well
in
the
desert
and
I.
Think
all
of
us
who
have
been
outside
for
two
minutes
today
understand
why
it
is
absolutely
imperative
that
we
have
as
many
cooling
stations
as
possible
for
those
who
do
not
have
a
home
to
go
to.
Thank.
A
A
Perfect
all
right
we're
at
public
comment
at
each
meeting
of
the
sustainability
Commission.
We
set
aside
time
for
the
public
to
address
this
on
matters
that
are
related
to
our
areas
of
concern
in
the
city.
If
they're
persons
who
wish
to
speak,
the
microphone
is
available
and
there's
a
three
minute
time
limit.
A
D
You,
chair
and
Commission
we're
thrilled
and
excited
to
introduce
you
to
je
veux
de
our
new
convenient
economic
development
director.
I
sat
with
him
today
for
number
hours
and
shared
with
them
a
lot
of
the
exciting
things
happening
in
Palm
Springs,
including
ministering,
to
your
needs,
as
we've
discussed
and
so
like
I
said
we're
thrilled
to
have
them
and
I'd.
Welcome
you
to
say
a
few
comments
if
you'd
like
to
the
Commission.
D
D
A
Excited
to
have
you
here,
there
has
been
some
conversation
about
your
involvement
with
with
our
Commission,
so
please
stay
as
long
as
your
schedule
allows.
We
typically
have
a
two-hour
meeting
and
it
doesn't
look
like
that's
going
to
be
different
tonight
as
I.
Look
at
the
agenda,
so
you're
welcome
to
stay
and
hear
us
touch
on
lots
of
different
topics.
Welcome
to
change.
Thank
you
all
right,
we're
at
item
B
presentations
and
our
first
one
is
Jim
Carr
pH
from
the
Coachella
Valley
Mountains
Conservancy
good.
H
Thank
you
for
inviting
us
near
me:
Network,
okay,
the
Conservancy,
as
many
of
you
know,
as
the
state
agency
was
founded
in
1991,
our
public
sector
Land
Trust.
We
have
a
very
broad
mission
under
state
law,
but
one
of
ten
conservancies
actually
ins
in
California,
including
the
coastal
Conservancy,
the
Lake
Tahoe
Conservancy
and
Santa
Monica
Mountains
Conservancy,
and
we're
kind
of
unique
in
its
own
States.
B
H
Historically,
we
focused
mostly
on
land
acquisition,
either
by
purchasing
land
ourselves
or
by
giving
grants
to
public
agencies
or
nonprofits
to
purchase
the
land
we
work
closely
with
with
sea
bag
under
the
multiple
species
plan
to
focus
our
conservation
in
ways
that
meets
the
targets
of
the
plan.
We
have
a
capital
improvement,
grant
program
for
restoration,
for
protection
of
conserved,
land
or
other
resources,
including
the
prop
1a
grant
program
and
I'm
going
to
talk
about.
Today.
We
also
have
recreational
and
educational
programs.
H
We
are
currently
in
various
levels
of
building
three
various
stages
of
building
three
trails
in
the
northern
Katella
valley,
connecting
the
valley
to
Joshua
Tree.
We
are
about
two
and
I
mean
like
very
shortly
next
week.
We're
about
requires
a
Shumway
ranch
off
of
74,
which
has
some
historic
buildings
which
we're
going
to
be
issuing
an
RFP
to
seek
an
operator.
Some
of
them
will
preserve
and
restore
the
structures.
H
Our
funding
comes
from
the
state.
Our
operating
budget
comes
from
the
license
plates
fund.
Actually
we
have
four
staff
members
about
$600,000
budget,
but
I
guess
our
influence
comes
from
our
capital
funding.
Over
the
last
20
years,
we've
received
over
fifty
million
dollars
in
state
bond
funds
that
we
grant
out
mostly
for
capital
problem
projects.
H
Ten
million
is
coming
from
proposition
1.
We
also
because
of
our
ability
to
network
with
the
various
actors
in
conservation
in
the
valley
are
able
to
leverage
our
money
to
use
it
as
matching
funds
for
federal,
section
6
funds
that
are
designed
to
require
habitat
for
endangered
species
or
other
state
funds
like
Caltrans
funding
for
mitigation
various
projects.
So
there
is
a
strong
Network
here,
and
our
funding
capacity
allows
us
to
be
more
influenced
with
a
lot
of
land
Trust's.
H
So
that
is
our
jurisdiction.
It's
it's
most
of
the
Coachella
Valley.
It's
changed
over
the
years.
The
initial
Conservancy
focused
on
the
mountains
that
in
the
area
that's
now
the
size
of
San
Jacinto
in
Santa
Rosa
National
Monument,
when
the
multiple
species
plan
was
approved
in
2008
our
by
our
statute,
our
jurisdiction
expanded
to
include
that
whole
territory.
H
So
we
basically
go
from
banning
to
the
county
line,
which
is
the
top
third
of
the
Salton
Sea
and
then
from
the
stand
at
the
top
of
the
Santa
Monica
or
Santa
San
Jacinto
Mountains
to
the
to
Joshua
Tree
border,
so
to
prop
one
is
called
the
water
quality
supply
and
infrastructure.
Improvement
Act
2014
enacted
by
the
voters
that
you
may
recall
seven
and
a
half
billion
dollars
for
various
water
related
projects,
ten
million
for
the
for
the
Coachella
Valley.
Our
board
has
named
three
priorities
for
the
funding.
H
One
is
for
acquisition
of
watershed
land
for
conservation.
One
is
for
restoration
of
watershed
features.
Another
is
for
enhancement
of
water
infrastructure
in
a
way
that
supports
the
surrounding
habitat
values.
What
we've
tried
to
do
is
direct
the
state
funding
for
water
projects.
In
a
way,
that's
complementary
to
the
conservation
work
we've
done
over
the
past
20
years.
I'll.
Give
you
some
examples
of
that
in
a
few
seconds.
H
Despite
those
priorities
are
identified
by
our
board,
any
project
that
implements
the
water
action
plan
of
the
state
can
be
considered.
State
local
agencies,
tribes
and
nonprofits
can
apply
and
apply.
Federal
agencies
cannot
by
state
law.
Unfortunately,
joint
projects,
no
serving
economically
disadvantaged
areas
receive
additional
scoring
points.
It's
a
competitive
process
that
we
issue
notices
the
funding
availability,
there's
two
out
on
the
street,
not
gonna,
leave
some
copies
for
you.
H
Multi
benefit
projects
that
prefer
that
the
term
of
art
from
the
statute
essentially
means
projects
that
help
with
both
water
quality
and
habitat
restoration
and
assist
a
disadvantaged
community
project.
That
only
does
one
of
those
things
would
get
lower
points
for
cost.
Effective
effectiveness
has
to
be
rather
than
there's
ongoing,
reporting
monitoring
requirements,
so
some
examples
of
acquisition
projects
there
are
several
I
mean
mostly
its
land
containing
wetlands,
washes
or
features
that
treat
the
aquifer
or
support
riparian
habitat
in
the
desert.
It's
a
little
tricky
because
it's
not
always
clear
that.
H
There's
water
served
by
the
acquisition
of
particular
property.
We're
focused
on
a
lot
of
acquisitions
for
potential
acquisitions
by
the
salt
and
sea,
because
those
are
important,
the
potential
restoration,
preserving
open
space
to
prevent
flooding,
or
in
some
cases
we
can
acquire
property
as
a
way
of
taking
it
out
of
the
development
market.
If
there's
an
attempted
constructive
development
that
would
have
extraordinaire
water
uses
like
a
golf
course,
restoration
projects,
re-establishing
natural
flows-
these
are
terms
from
the
statute.
Improving
watershed
areas.
Watershed
areas
that
serve
endangered
species,
get
special
preference
per
statute.
H
Cleanup
of
hazardous
materials
as
like
the
problem
springs
cities
project
at
the
Dunn,
Road
site,
removal
of
invasive
species.
A
lot
of
our
projects
are
focusing
on
removing
tamara's,
which
uses
a
mature
tamarisk
tree,
can
use
hundreds
of
gallons
of
water
a
day
and
take
that
out
of
the
aquifer,
and
so
essentially
wasting
water
that
otherwise
would
go
to
the
ecosystem,
infrastructure
projects,
modernization
of
flood
improvements
or
water
delivery
structures,
removal
of
old
channelization
things
like
that
or
shoreline
or
bank
reconstruction
near
the
Salton
Sea
or
along
the
white
water
river.
H
Some
of
the
projects
that
we've
made
to
date
we
granted
about
16
grants
totaling
about
just
under
2
million
a
couple
year
familiar
with
one.
We
contributed
funds
for
the
stormwater
system
at
the
reconstruction
of
the
East
Palm
Canyon
at
the
tahquitz
Creek
we
aboard
as
a
food
to
grant
for
the
Dunn
Road
remediation
and
restoration.
That
I
think
was
discussed
here
at
your
last
meeting.
We
are
funding
improvement
planning
at
the
white
water
preserve.
That
was
a
project
that
we
funded
initially
about
12
years
ago,
when
it
was
acquired.
H
There
is
a
big
levee
there
that
is
about
to
break
and
would
threaten
the
whole,
not
only
the
recreational
facilities
there,
but
would
also
change
the
habitat
areas
and
destroy
a
lot
of
habitat
for
endangered
species,
so
we're
hopefully,
planning
to
fund
the
restoration
or
the
replacement
of
that.
We
have
a
large
project
with
the
tourists
Martinez
tribe,
which
is
doing
restoration
along
the
the
shore
of
a
Salton
Sea,
to
keep
some
wetlands
there
to
prevent
dust
from
flowing
into
the
air
and
also
to
keep
whatever
water.
H
There
is
from
rain
and
runoff,
and
things
like
that
from
just
evaporating
and
I
mentioned
before
several
tamarisk
or
invasive
plant
removal
projects
are
on
and
we
have
a
couple
of
projects,
one
in
the
Coachella
Valley
preserve
one
of
the
Dos
Palmas
preserve
where
we're
funding
the
restoration
of
a
pond
that
is
provides
habitat
for
the
desert
pupfish.
We
are
applicant,
ooh
applications,
it's
it's.
H
And
we
have
quite
a
bit
of
money
to
give
away
and
strict
standards
that
are
required
by
law,
so
we're
encouraging
applications.
We
have
two
notices
of
funding
availability
out
in
the
street
now
at
work.
They
will
review
copies
of
them.
A
one
is
for
restoration
or
infrastructure
projects.
One
is
for
acquiring
land.
The
due
dates
are
October
8
for
the
restoration
and
infrastructure
projects
in
January
of
next
year
for
acquisition
projects
we
have
but
six
and
a
half
million
dollars.
H
It's
uncommitted
we'll
have
another
round
of
funding
in
the
fall
that
will
be
announced
if
you're
working
on
projects
or,
if
you
know
of
someone
who
wants
to
fund
to
seek
funding-
and
they
are
ready
right
now,
we'll
be
doing
it
in
the
fall.
We
typically
do
it
twice
a
year
and
the
staff
of
the
Conservatives
have
to
provide
technical
assistance
in
providing
in
developing
your
applications
and
strategies
for
better
characterizing
project
so
that
it
meets
our
objectives.
H
A
A
I
I
And
my
other
question
is
related
to
the
grants
that
are
available.
I
mean
definitely
to
look
at
them,
but
I'm
wondering
if
there's
there
any
that
are
currently
available
or
you
anticipate
that
would
be.
You
know,
sort
of
Palm
Spring
City
specific.
That
would
apply
directly
to
what
we
do
is
a
commission.
H
It
sounds
like
you
may
do
some
work
with
homeowners
and
Darger's
on
water
use
I
mean
that
that's
a
potential
project.
We
do
have
a
small
project
in
the
East
Valley
working
with
farmers
to
sort
of
have
them
used,
ten
Shyama,
ters
and
other
sorts
of
instruments
to
prevent
wasteful
watering
crops.
I
think
something
like
that
worth
anything
battling.
The
effects
of
climate
change
is
also
one
of
the
statutory
objectives
so
that
that
works
as
well
so
I
in
the
nofa's
and
also
in
the
guidelines
which
are
posted
on
our
website.
A
A
A
All
right,
we
have
second
presentation
tonight,
different
topic.
We
have
envisioned
solar
here
to
help
us
understand
how
solar
power
can
be
used
for
electric
vehicle
charging
stations,
and
so
they
represent
a
company.
That's
doing
that
I'm
sure
other
folks
do,
but
we
have
Andy,
Ike
and
James
Burton.
A
D
J
Fantastic
well,
first
off
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
Andy.
Ike
and
I
represent
division,
solar
and
this
is
Jim
burn.
My
colleague
who's
our
director
Josephus
development.
First
off.
Thank
you
so
much.
You
know
to
the
Commission
to
the
city
staff
for
inviting
us
out
here
for
the
opportunity.
You
guys
just
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
our
company,
our
product,
that
we
are
selling
to
numerous
other
cities,
especially
throughout
California,
but
really
all
throughout
the
country
and
I
know
that
we're
kind
of
short
on
time
here
so
I'll
just
jump
right
into
it.
G
J
Arc
short
for
electric
vehicle,
autonomous
renewable
charger
and
what
it
is.
It
is
a
fully
solar-powered
off-the-grid
electrical
charging
station,
which
can
also
double
as
a
disaster
preparedness
tool
which
can
provide
emergency
powered
first
responders
on-site
in
case
of
a
blackout
or
a
natural
disaster,
or
heaven
forbid,
a
terrorist
attack.
You
can
see
here
we
have
a
couple
of
pictures
of
the
EVR.
Evr
is
a
product
that
is
fully
self-contained
fully
self-sustaining.
It
just
sits
very
nicely
on
the
ground.
It
is
not
bolted
into
the
ground
into
anyway.
J
It's
not
does
not
need
to
be
connected
to
the
electrical
grid
in
any
way,
although
it
can
be
if
you
wanted
to
feed
power
back
into
the
grid
and
really
the
benefit
of
the
e
vr.
Is
that
because
it
is
a
fully
off-the-grid,
fully
self-sustaining
solution,
it
doesn't
require
any
of
the
usual
installation
process,
which
is
usually
involved
with
getting
an
electric
vehicle
charging
station
up
and
going
into
location.
So
you
won't
have
to
do
any
kind
of
permitting.
You
won't
have
to
do
any
environmental
site
inspections.
You
wanted
to
do
digging
and
trenching.
J
You
won't
have
to
do
any
electrical
upgrades.
All
of
this
can
be
skipped
over
with
the
e
V
arc
and
then,
in
addition
to
that,
it
will
never
generate
an
electricity
bill.
It's
not
subject
to
peak
usage
charges
or
rises
in
electricity
cost.
It
really
is
its
own
little
micro
grid.
This
uses
one
shot
here,
you'll
see
on
the
right
hand,
side
as
of
our
EBR
right
in
front
the
California
State
Capitol
building,
it
would
be
impossible
to
dig
in
trench
and
get
an
electric
vehicle
charging
station
up
at
that
location.
J
This
next
slide
here
is
just
a
couple
of
visuals.
Just
illustrating
some
of
the
potential
uses
of
DB
arc
can
be
utilized
for
an
EPR
can
be
placed
in
a
public
charging
atmosphere.
Any
kind
of
an
open
surface
public
parking
lot
potentially
at
the
top
of
a
large
parking
structure,
could
also
be
placed
at
a
city
building
to
provide
on-site
workplace
charging
for
city
employees.
J
Another
great
use
for
it
is
charging
in
more
remote
or
hard-to-reach
locations
like
this
picture
here
in
the
top
right
corner.
This
is
one
of
our
stations
that
was
deployed
in
Fresno
County
as
part
of
a
countywide
rollout
of
EB
arcs,
with
13
different
stations
throughout
the
county.
Bottom
left-hand
corner
is
a
picture
of
a
couple
of
our
EB
arcs,
located
at
Cal
State
East
Bay
up
at
the
Bay
Area,
and
you
can
see
here.
This
is
charging
golf
carts
or
better
known
as
neighborhood
electric
vehicles.
J
I
hear
there
are
probably
a
couple
of
those
here
in
Palm
Springs
and
then.
In
addition,
at
this
bottom
right
hand,
corner
is
charging
a
Caltrans
fleet
vehicle,
which
is
electric
I,
know
many
cities
and
government
institutions
are
moving
towards
electrifying
their
fleet,
and
so
this
is
a
great
use
case
for
it,
as
well
as
being
able
to
charge
he
safely,
vehicles
which
were
electric
or
plug-in
hybrids.
G
J
I
alluded
to
before
you
know
the
really
the
value
with
the
EVR
is
the
avoided,
cost
the
no
installation,
the
no
electricity
bill
being
related
to
it,
the
no
being
subjected
to
peak
uses
charges
from
the
power
company
or
increases
in
electricity
prices.
You
know
it
really
what
it
does
is
it
just.
It
simplifies
the
whole
process
of
getting
an
electric
vehicle
charging
station
up
and
operating
at
a
location.
It's
a
true
dragon
drop
solution.
F
J
The
road
to
performance
of
a
DVR,
it's
able
to
generate
and
store
enough
clean,
solar
electricity
to
charge
up
to
two
hundred
and
twenty
five
miles
of
electric
electric
vehicle
driving
in
a
day
you'll.
He
here
we
have
a
shot
of
a
couple
of
our
arcs
in
front
of
the
iconic
Unisphere
in
Flushing
Meadows
Park
in
Queens
New
York.
We
were
actually
just
recently
awarded
a
three-year
contract
by
the
New
York
Department
of
citywide
administrative
services
to
provide
these
charging
stations
to
various
different
New
York
City
departments
and
agencies.
J
It's
primarily
going
to
be
utilized
to
charge
city
fleet
vehicles,
which
are
electric.
The
New
York
City,
is
undergoing
a
huge
undertaking
to
make
their
entire
city
fleet
electric
so
we're
helping
them
with
charging
them,
and
we
have
a
great
quote
here
from
the
New
York
City
State
chief
fleet
officer,
New
York
City
fleet
is
investing
in
the
fleet
of
the
future
electric
and
hybrid
plug-in
vehicles
powered
by
the
Sun.
It
really
is
an
amazing
thing
to
have
electric
vehicles
driving
on
nothing
but
sunshine.
J
We
can
go
ahead
and
we
can
upgrade
that
storage
as
needed.
If
it's
going
to
be
significant,
nighttime
charging,
and
then
you
know,
the
battery
storage
is
also
utilized
to
for
emergency
power.
With
regards
to
the
disaster
preparedness
thing
which
I'm
going
to
get
into
next,
one
of
the
really
exciting
features
that
we've
now
incorporated
on
an
Eevee
are
these
emergency
power
panels
which
are
essentially,
you
can
see
here,
there's
a
couple
of
visuals.
J
You
know
we
were
actually
we
just
took
part
in
a
disaster
preparedness
event
a
week
or
two
ago
up
in
Bay
Area,
and
they
were
running
all
sorts
of
different
kinds
of
equipment
in
this
disaster.
Preparedness
exercise,
everything
from
generators
to
air,
conditioning
to
you
name
it.
They
were
running
it
off
of
the
EBT
rocker
they
their
own
words
were
that
the
EB
arcs
saved
their
their
event,
because
the
generators
they
were
supposed
to
use
went
out.
So
it's
a
great
church,
GRE
source
of
power
for
the
the
second
generator
goes
out.
F
J
Then
another
really
in
jeans
and
often
overlooked,
part
of
the
EB
arc
is
its
steel
based
pad
the
steel
base
pad
on
an
AVR
basically
allows
it
to
fit
within
a
standard
legal
sized
parking
spot
and
just
nicely
rest
there.
So
it's
a
fully
ballasted
system
again.
It
does
not
need
to
be
bolted
or
connected
into
the
ground
in
any
way
shape
or
form
so
and
in
addition
to
that,
it
also
has
to
be
a
DA
compliance
as
well.
J
J
Again,
you
know
another
advantage
of
being,
you
know
fully
off-grid
and
a
fully
self-contained
unit
is
that
on
the
eb
arc
is
transportable.
You
can't
say
that
about
any
other
electric
vehicle
charging
station
out
there
and
really
what
that
does
is
that
that
provides
flexibility
with
regards
to
any
kind
of
urban
planning
or
campus
planning.
If
you
know,
if
the
city
decides
to
upgrade
to
a
larger
building,
you
can
just
take
the
e
vr
with
you
to
that
building
you.
J
J
I'll
jump
back
to
this
real
quick
here
is
that
its
towed
by
a
customized
boat,
trailer
that
we've
manufactured
called
a
Ark
mobility,
trailer,
which
essentially
allows
us
to
pick
up
an
e
vr
with
hydraulic
rams,
lift
it
onto
the
trailer
itself
and
then,
when
we
arrive
on
site,
we
have
the
e
vr
in
its
parking
spot
and
deployed
within
nine
to
twelve
minutes.
So
we've
taken
a
process
that
often
takes
nine
to
twelve
months
for
some
people
and
condense
that
into
nine
to
twelve
and
the
EBR
kits.
J
It's
also
it's
connected
through
a
cellular
connectivity
and
motive
within
the
base
of
the
unit.
Just
basically
allows
you
to
real-time
see
the
state
of
the
batteries
in
terms
of
what
you
know,
what
percentage
of
batteries
you
have
the
solar
collection
at
any
given
time
and
then
also
the
discharge
for
the
energy
being
provided
to
the
electric
vehicle
that
can
all
be
monitored
real
time.
Other
more
in-depth
data
collection
can
also
be
utilized
through
a
network
charging
station
that
we
can
mount
on
to
an
eb
arc.
J
In
addition
to
that,
you
know
really
what
the
eb
arc
is
at
the
core
of
it
is:
it
is
a
mounting
asset
that
allows
you
to
bring
power
to
more
difficult
or
hard-to-reach
locations.
So,
in
addition
to
you
know
mounting
electric
vehicle
charging
stations
onto
an
e
v
arc,
which
is
the
most
common
you
know,
uses
that
we
see
with
it.
We're
also
able
to
incorporate
a
large
and
wide
diverse
range
of
other
sort
of
electronics
like
televisions,
closed-circuit,
camera
tilt
cameras,
audio
speakers,
AC
and
USB
ports,
etc.
J
I
apologize
about
that
was
just
some
visuals
on
there
for
mother
locationally,
we've
deployed
them,
and
then
the
other
thing
I
was
going
to
mention
too,
is
that
we
are
on
contract
with
the
state
of
California
through
the
Department
of
General
Services.
There
are
advantages
to
purchasing
off
the
state
of
California
contract.
With
regards
to
you,
don't
have
to
go
through
the
standard
public
bidding
process
you
receive
specially
discounted
exclusive
pricing.
J
Delivery
is
also
included
within
the
pricing
and
you're
guaranteed
delivery
within
90
days
from
receipt
of
purchase
order
as
well,
which
is
just
a
brief
sort
of
overview
of
the
special
California
state
of
California
contract
price,
and
just
to
kind
of
give
you
guys.
An
idea
of
that
on
here
and
I
can
provide
state
of
California
Contra.
Many
one
is
needed
down
the
line,
some
point
in
the
future
and
I
apologize
again
to
not
translate.
K
J
We
were
founded
back
in
2006,
where,
with
their
proverbial
old
guys
of
the
electric
vehicle
charging
industry,
we've
really
been
through
all
the
difficult
installations
which
eventually
led
us
to
creating
this
self-contained
product
with
the
e
V
arc,
and
all
of
our
products
are
manufactured,
our
facilities
in
San,
Diego
California,
and
we
probably
will
employ
combat
veterans,
disabled
workers
and
other
highly
motivated
individuals
as
well,
and
this
last
slide
here
is
just
a
quick
sort
of
overview
of
just
some
of
our
clientele
here.
You
know
these
are
not
early
adopters.
J
These
are
people,
you
know
who
take
technology
that
has
been
proven
and
tried
and
tested
and
true,
so
you
see
there's
a
number
of
government
agencies
on
here,
such
as
New
York,
City,
State
of
California,
University
of
California,
San
Diego
to
private
companies
like
Google
and
Genentech
calls
etc.
So
that's.
B
A
J
It
really
there's
there's
different
situations
with
regards
to
installing
an
IVA
charging
station,
as
you
can
imagine
that
the
easy
locations
to
install
a
electric
vehicle
charging
station
the
locations
that
we
like
to
call
the
low
hanging
fruit
locations
per
se,
our
locations
that
are
usually
pretty
close
to
the
power
source.
So
you
don't
have
to
do
significant
digging
and
trenching.
You
don't
have
to
do
any
kind
of
electrical
upgrades.
You
have
the
necessary
power
that
you
need
there
to
get
it
up
and
going
on
the
low
end.
J
You
know
and
installing
an
a/v
charging
station
will
run
anywhere
from
about
$5,000
to
$15,000
for
those
low
hanging
fruit
locations.
Now,
when
you
get
those
low
hanging
fruit
locations
out
of
the
way
and
you're
looking
to
expand,
you
know
to
more
difficult
or
more
hard-to-reach
locations
where
you
may
have
to
potentially
do
significant
digging
and
trenching.
You
may
have
to
do
electrical
upgrades
to
get
the
necessary
power
out
to
that
location.
J
You
know
we
have
seen
some
quotes
that
run
up
to
about
$150,000
on
the
high
end
of
it
in
the
most
extreme
of
circumstances
where
people
need
to
dig
in
trench.
You
know
hundreds
of
feet
to
get
the
power
out
to
that
location.
So
really
the
e
V
arc
is
a
fantastic
solution
for
those
more
difficult,
more
hard-to-reach
locations,
we're
not
trying
to
compete
with
an
easy
five
thousand
to
ten
thousand
dollar
install.
J
D
J
Certainly
well,
we
actually
I'm
glad
you
brought
it
up
is
that
we
actually
have
the
city
of
India
as
one
of
our
customers
last
year,
we're
actually
early
this
year.
Excuse
me
they.
They
purchased
one
of
our
Eevee
art
stations
to
charge
city
fleet
vehicles
which
are
electric.
So
so
that's
one
right
here
in
the
area,
if
we're
talking
kind
of
right
about
the
greater
Palm
Springs
area
and
the
EVR
is
independently
rated
to
withstand
winds
up
to
110
miles
per
hour.
So
it's
pretty
sturdy
and
yeah
made
for
those
most
extreme
of
circumstances.
G
A
mechanism
for
putting
a
charging
station
I
mean
charging
as
in
monetizing,
so
that
people
are
putting
in
a
credit
card
to
grab
some
of
the
electricity.
That's
one
question,
and
and
second,
how
do
you
I
guess
on
a
web
application
you'd
be
able
to
sort
of
know
how
much
is
left,
so
you
don't
sort
of
drive
up
there
and
find
that
all
the
juices
going
sure.
J
There
are
non
networked
or
dumb
stations,
as
some
people
call
them,
which
are
just
very
simple
charging
stations
just
go
plug
in
and
that's
that
and
then
there
is
also
what's
called
spark
or
network
charging
stations
which
have
a
station
capabilities
on
them.
And
essentially
you
know
what
happens
to
that.
With
these
different
pay
stations
they
have
their
own
networks
that
they
administer
on
their
own.
J
Where
you
can
you
yourself,
as
the
administrator
can
set
up
those
pay
station
capabilities,
and
you
have
a
really
wide
diverse
range
of
setting
up
those
pay
station
capabilities
you
can
set
just
a
you
know:
set
dollar
amount
by
the
hour.
You
can
increase
it
after
a
certain
number
of
hours.
The
persistent
charging
there
you
can
charge
by
the
kilowatt
hour.
So
to
answer
your
question
simply:
yes,
that's
definitely
a
possibility.
So
and
then
your
second
question
was.
G
J
A
great
great
question:
you
bring
up
there
on
that
side
of
things
and
we're
actually
working
in
the
midst
of
putting
status
lights
on
AV
arcs.
Where
Green
is
you
know
near
full,
yellow
is
about
50
percent
and
then
red
being
depleted,
and
you
know
if
the
e
V
arc
is
ever
depleted,
where
the
batteries
are
fully,
we
know
run
out.
Essentially
what
happens
is
that
just
so?
J
J
So
the
maintenance
you
know
it's
in
and
of
itself
is
it's
a
very
low
maintenance
product
with
regards
to
standard
maintenance.
Really
the
main
items
that
need
to
be
done
are
to
wipe
off
the
solar
array
itself
every
month
or
so
usually
just
want
to
wash
it
off,
basically
just
so
that
it's
clean
and
just
getting
maximum
solar
production.
J
In
that
respect,
and
then
you
know
just
with
regards
you
just
want
to
do
basic
things
like
kind
of
walking
around
the
Union
spective
unit
every
now
and
then
just
to
make
sure
nobody's
kind
of
bumped
into
it
or
something's,
not
working.
You
know
just
general
walking
around
and
looking
at
it
and
making
sure
that's
operating
as
it
should
listening
to
see
if
the
tracking
mechanism
is
working
and
we
can
remotely
monitor
the
EDR
through
that
cellular
connectivity
and
usually
remotely
troubleshoot
anything
that
were
to
come
up
on
that
side
of
it.
J
So
that
definitely
helps
with
it
and
as
it
relates
to
a
warranty
on
the
EVR,
comes
with
a
one-year
standard
warranty
with
it,
but
all
the
major
components
on
it,
such
as
the
solar
panels,
the
batteries
the
inverters.
They
all
have
their
own
individual
factory,
warranty
that
comes
with
them
as
well,
and
so
we
have
a
whole
list
of
those
four
individual
warranties
for
the
components
that
come
with
the
EBR.
In
addition
to
itself
with.
M
Respect
to
the
gears
that
you
asked
about
we
built
from
you
know,
we
built
the
machine
to
last
and
the
gears
that
we
used
are
designed
to
be
constantly
in
use
so
the
their
way
over
engineered,
because
we
don't
ever
want
them
to
fail.
So
really
the
only
maintenance-
that's
that's
required-
is
occasionally
lubing
them,
but
even
at
that
they're
working
so
far
below
their
actual
capacity
that
that
we
really
don't
anticipate
them
breaking.
They
were
actually
tested
to
about
500
times
the
pressure
that
they're
they're
ever
under.
M
So
there
they
were
built
in
Germany,
and
you
know,
there's
a
funny
story
that
goes
behind
how
we
got
him
tested,
but
they
couldn't
break
them
and
even
when
they
tried
it,
like
I,
said
500
times
the
amount
of
pressure
that
they'll
experience
and
they're
designed
to
work
24
hours
a
day,
and
they
only
work
a
couple
of
minutes
at
a
time.
You
know
throughout
the
day,
so.
L
M
The
electronics
are
not
so
the
the
electronics
that
you
know,
control
the
motors
and
basically,
we
tell
the
we
tell
of
where
it
is
and
then
based
on
where
it
is
John
on
the
ground
on
the
earth.
It
will
track
the
Sun.
So
it's
a
it's
on
it's
on
a
timer
and
it
predicts
the
the
path
of
the
Sun
other
much
better.
N
Our
requirements,
our
needs
at
this
point,
are
for
more
stations
to
service
electric
vehicles.
If
they're
going
to
like
a
parking
lot
downtown
or
if
they've
come
into
work
at
City,
Hall
or,
if
they're
at
the
airport,
how
does?
How
is
this
system
work
in
terms
of
its
capacity?
Is
it?
Is
it
feeding
power
from
the
panels
directly
if
somebody's
plugged
in
or
is
it
always
feeding
a
battery?
And
then
it's
the
battery,
that's
actually
going
into
the
vehicle?
And
if
the
battery
is
good
for
225
miles,
then
is
the
next
person.
N
So
if
that
took
first
of
all
I'm
curious
about
how
long
it
takes,
because
that's
as
important
to
somebody
who's
part
of
the
car
there,
but
then,
if
they're
finished
and
they're
they've
got
the
optimal
charge
and
then
there
leaving
is
the
next
person
coming
into
that
station.
Out
of
luck
and
how
long
would
it
be
out
of
luck
for
ask.
M
A
quick
question
from
the
group
how
many,
how
many
folks
own
an
Eevee
anybody
you
own
an
Eevee,
so
one
of
the
things
that
you
know
when
when
we're
talking
about
this,
especially
because
you
know
driving
EVs
and
as
we
approach
the
adoption
of
EVs,
it's
a
different
model
than
then
a
gas
station
model
or
destination
charging.
You
know
you
know
you
look
at
a
model
where
generally
people
are
starting
in
the
morning
and
they're
starting
full
and
then
throughout
their
day,
they're
going
to
work
and
they're
plugging
in
they're,
going
to
shopping.
They're.
M
Plugging
in
you
know,
and
that's
really
what
the
Eevee
arc
is
designed
to
do.
It's
designed
to
be
a
tool
for
you
to
get.
You
know
throughout
the
day
charged
up.
So
if
you
look
at
the
different
the
different
levels
of
charging,
this
is
a
level
two
charge.
So
it's
a
220
volt
charge,
220,
volt,
charge
and
it'll.
Take,
for
example,
a
car
battery
about
five
or
six
hours
to
charge,
and
then
you
know
and
then
you're
going
to
get
you
know
get
a
full
charge.
But
if
you
have
somebody,
that's
doing
that.
M
You
know
plugging
in
and
charging
all
day.
You
know,
of
course,
it's
going
to
complete
the
battery
and
you
know-
and
it's
not
a
good-
it's
not
a
it's,
not
replacing
a
gas
station,
but
it
does
allow
you
to
you
know
top
off
the
work
top
off
shopping.
You
know
top
off
and
just
basically
stay
full
throughout
the
day,
so
as
you're
driving
and
Evie
and
I
Drive
an
EB
as
well.
You
know
it's
I'm,
not
driving
until
it's
empty
the
charging,
it
all
the
way
up,
I'm
just
constantly
topping
it
all
and.
J
Just
to
speak
to
you
know
how
the
charging
station
itself
works
as
it
relates
to
the
solar
panels.
Is
you
know
the
charging
station
itself
operates
and
charges
the
exact
same
way
that
a
grid-tied
charging
station
does
in
and
of
itself?
So
it's
going
to
provide
the
same
current
that
a
grid-tied
charging
station
will
and
really
as
it
relates
to
you,
know
the
solar
power
and
is
it
going
into
the
batteries
or
is
it
going
into
the
car
itself?
J
M
Guess
it's
kind
of
just
for
just
informational
purposes,
kind
of
the
next
level
of
charging
like
level
3
DC
fast
charging.
That's
the
case
where
you
would
hear
that
somebody
would
plug
in
you
know
if
it's
DC
fast
charging
capable
who
would
plug
in
you
could
charge
up
to
80%
of
the
battery
in
about
30
minutes.
You
know,
so
it's
like
the
Tesla
supercharger.
Isn't
that
sort
of
thing
just
to
put
that
in
perspective,
you
know
to
make
that
amount
of
power
available
is
the
equivalent
of
putting
a
supermarket
and
stuff
so
I
mean.
E
Wilson
yeah
I
was
curious.
It
seems
like
when
you
started
the
presentation
I
just
assumed
this
was
a
very
mobile
thing
and
you
know
responding
to
emergencies
and
things
like
that.
But
it
seems
as
if
a
lot
of
your
customers
are
using
it
for
a
semi-permanent
system,
so
I'm
curious,
I
guess
maybe
with
the
city
of
Indio,
as
you
were
talking
about,
they
maybe
had
this
installed
at
the
core
PR
or
something
the.
J
E
J
You
know
we
do
have
you
know
I,
we
definitely
have
had
people
who
are
cities.
You
know
particularly
who
have
been
concerned
about
aesthetics.
However,
you
know
there's
different
points
of
views
in
terms
of
the
aesthetics,
because
some
people
love
it.
Some
people
see
it
as
a
very
highly
visible
sustainability
initiative
that
the
city
is
doing
and
and
and
one
that
you
know
many
people
are
get
very
excited
about.
You
know
with
regards
to
having
cars,
driving
and
nothing
but
sunshine.
J
You
that's,
you
know,
that's
really
the
future,
and
so
that's
something
that
a
lot
of
cities
you
know
get
excited
about
it.
You
know,
but
you
know
the
aesthetic
is
you
know
what
sighted,
but
that
we
have
to.
You
know
run
into
you
know
from
people,
and
you
know
there
are
some,
however,
expressed
concern
about
putting
it
in
a
very
highly
visible
location
like
in
front
of
a
courthouse,
but
again
there's
others.
That
say:
let's
put
it
right
there.
J
You
know,
for
example,
we're
talking
with
the
state
of
Washington,
who
wants
to
put
one
of
our
EVR
so
right
in
front
of
the
governor's
mansion
and
the
reason
we
want
to
do
it
is
because
it
is
just
such
a
highly
visible
sustainability
initiative.
So
we've
really
seen
both
ends
of
the
spectrum
on
it
and
it's
kind
of
just
a
personal
preferences.
I
think
the
thing
that
I've
that
we've
seen
on
our
end
of
thing
so
but.
M
We
haven't
come
across
a
like
a
visibility,
variance
issue,
the
you
know.
We
were
working
with
the
city
of
San
Diego
right
now,
but
through
advertising,
it's
mounting
the
55
inch
screens
on
there,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
they
can.
They
can
do
that
to
generate
advertising
revenue,
we're
talking
about
variances
there,
but
like
even
the
city
in
New,
York
I
mean
they're
they're,
putting
all
of
theirs.
M
There's
one
at
one:
Center
Street
right
downtown
in
front
of
the
in
front
of
the
you
know,
town
out
at
birth,
residence
office
yeah,
and
now
they
just
bought
34
of
them.
But
yeah
we
haven't
run
into
that
problem
before
we
don't
with
a
variance
they.
They
seem
to
accept
that
you
know
they
really
don't
like
it.
They
can
move
it,
but
we
haven't
had
that.
E
M
I
mean
it's
hard
to
it's
hard
to
visualize.
When
you
see
this,
but
I
know
what
you're
talking
about,
because
you're
talking
about
kind
of
a
corrugated
sort
of
metal.
You
know
kind
of
you
know,
frame
that
you
know
with
a
bunch
of
solar
power
panels
mounted
on
them.
Ours,
don't
I
mean
we
we
really
built
for
aesthetic
appeal
as
well.
M
You
know
in
the
beginning
of
our
company,
in
2006
we
were
an
architectural
design
company,
and
so
we
build
beautiful
things
to
make
a
statement
and
we
continue
to
try
to
build
beautiful
things
and
we
built
beautiful,
practical
rugged
things.
But
but
you
know
they're
they're
painted
they're.
You
know
they're,
you
know
they're
they're
they're
nicely
dot,
it's
not
it's,
not
a
bunch
of
metal
thrown
together.
It
comes
like
a
you
know.
It
looks
like
a
like
a
quality
product.
D
A
J
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
opportunity
as
a
pleasure
to
present
every
one
to
meet
everyone
and,
unfortunately,
I
don't
have
copies
of
the
presentation
here,
but
I'm
sure
they
they
could
be
distributed
as
yes,
yes,
absolutely
great
can
program.
M
All
right,
thank
you
again,
thank
you
and
thank
you
so
much
for
letting
us
speak
and
I
also
want
to
invite
anyone
any
of
you
if
you're
in
San
Diego,
you
know-
and
you
want
to
take
a
look
at
our
production
facility
you're.
More
than
welcome
you
know
contact
Andy
or
myself,
and
you
know
if
you
want
to
spend
an
hour
down
there.
Just
taking
a
look
at
you
know
what
you
know
a
company,
that's
that's!
Manufacturing!
A
A
D
We
have
examples
of
the
letters
and
the
information
packages
that
we
that
we
sent
them
and
the
results.
The
other
thing
that
is
new
this
year
is
we
have
to
give
a
a
progress
report
about
how
we're
coming,
along
with
our
organics
implementation
of
our
organics
recycling
programs.
So
but
that'll
be
more
of
a
narrative.
You
don't
have
to
have
any
hard
hard
and
cold
facts
just
yet.
I
would
like
to
commend
Daniel
for
putting
together
a
nice
package
for
the
items
that
were
handed
out
at
the
event.
A
All
right,
we
let
you
off
the
hook
easy
tonight,
thanks
Gary
all
right,
we
had
a
question
race,
and
so
we
agendize
it
under
new
business
item
e.
There
was
an
invitation
for
the
sustainability
Commission
to
have
a
booth
at
the
farmers
market
once
a
month.
I'm
assuming
that's
free
of
charge,
was
the
invitation
so,
and
the
sense
was
that
this
would
be
something
that
Commission
members
themselves
would
do.
Who
wouldn't?
This
would
be
a
monthly
event.
I
I
Other
groups
like
libraries
and
and
nonprofits
as
well
to
you
know
just
provide
information
to
to
the
public
about
what
they're
doing
so
it's
an
opportunity
to
raise
awareness
within
the
city
about
you
know
what
the
projects
are
that
we're
working
on,
and
you
know,
but
it's
just
it's
once
a
month-
is
what
the
commitment
would
be
and
the
farmers
market
here
in
Palm
Springs.
It
runs
every
Saturday
from
8
a.m.
to
12:30
p.m.
so
it's
roughly
a
four
four-and-a-half
hour
commitment.
I,
don't
think
we
need
to
stay
the
entire
time.
I
The
market
is
indoors
during
the
summer
months,
June
through
September,
at
the
pavilion
and
it's
outdoors
right
next
to
the
Camelot
theater,
the
rest
of
the
year.
So
I
guess
it's!
You
know
just
I
wanted
to
put
it
out
there
give
some
discussion
about
it.
See
if
commission
would
be
interested
interested
in
doing
something
like
this
and
if
you
know
I
mean
I
would
be
willing
to
to
help
with
the
booth.
You
know
once
or
twice
a
year
and
so
I'll
see
if
there's
any
other
interest
as
well
and.
A
K
We
had
a
table
at
three
of
the
events
so
two
outside
when,
before
it
moved
indoors
at
the
farmers
market
and
one
time
when
we
write
as
it
moved
inside
right
before
our
World
Environment
Day
event,
and
it
was
a
really
awesome
opportunity
to
talk
to
community
members.
Sometimes
it's
hard
to
get
them
to
stop,
but
I
think
if
they
actually
saw-
and
if
we
add
our
table
out
with
sustainability
Commission,
it
might
be
an
opportunity
for
them
to
ask
questions
and
present.
K
You
know
I
have
commitments
on
Saturday
mornings
that
I'm
not
always
able
to
let
go
of,
but
I
could
you
know
commit
to
at
least
one
hour
of
that
four
hours
you
know
every
month,
I
mean
that's
something
that
I
would
be
willing
to
do
so
it's
and
if
other
people
would
prefer
just
to
do
one
time
and
get
it
out
of
the
way.
That
would
be
okay
too,
but
it's
it's
a
nice
way
to
present
what
we're
thinking
about
here
as
well
and
be
more
accessible.
K
I
I
A
K
A
C
D
To
me
with
that,
we
would
need
to
email
around
a
schedule
and
sign-up
sheet
and
see
if
we
have
adequate
interest
from
all
of
the
commissioners
to
participate
in
this
or
something
some
that
are
really
excited
about.
It
want
to
do
it
more
than
once
or
twice,
but
I
think
we
should
look
at
if
we
can
fill
up
the
calendar
before
we
commit
to
yeah.
So.
A
I
It
really
doesn't
matter
from
the
farmers
market
point
of
view,
so
we
can
choose
any
day.
It
should
be
consistent,
though
the
second
week
of
the
month,
the
third
week
of
the
month
or
whatever
it
is
okay,
but
if
you
want
I
can
I
can
work
with
Megan
who's
the
market
manager
to
come
up
with
a
you
know,
a
preferred
schedule,
because
she
knows
when
other
groups
are
coming.
I
As
she
told
me,
you
know
if
there's
a
particular
Saturday
that
we
really
want
to
be
there
she's
not
going
to
turn
it
down,
but
there
may
be
some
Saturdays
that
are
you
know
whether
there's
more
space
available,
so
I
can
come
up
with.
You
know,
working
with
her
for
Saturday
and
have
it
you
know,
have
a
possible
schedule
set
out.
E
Have
a
question
for
staff
Gary:
do
you
happen
to
remember
how
we
we
organized
the
the
tables
at
village
fest?
When
that
was
pretty
active?
Did
we
do
doodle
polls
or
something
to
fill
that?
What
did
we
do?
The
doodle
polls
for
village
fest
to
set
up
who
was
going
to
volunteer
for
those
time
slots
on
those
Thursdays?
No.
D
G
Just
if
the
film's
stainability
films
are
going
to
be
continuing
into
the
next
season,
it
would
be
a
good
idea
to
match
the
well
the
week
at
the
at
the
farmers
market,
with
whenever
the
films
are
going
to
be.
So
that
may
have
a
perhaps
some
effect
on
what
weekend.
We
would
do
it,
but
because
I
wasn't
sure
there
was
a
specific
Saturday
third
Saturday,
whatever
it
was,
but
it
would
just
be
good
idea
to
match
those
I
had.
K
The
same
idea,
commissioner,
Friedman
and
I
talked
to
Megan
also
about
possibly
making
the
films
later,
maybe
right
after
the
market.
So
then
it
would
be
a
nice
segue.
You
know
encouraging
everyone
to
come
to
the
film
as
well,
and
it
could
be.
You
know
that
that
day,
whatever
day,
we
choose
that
to
be.
If
we
continue
with
the
sustainability,
comes
ease.
A
That's
another
leg:
lately
yeah
I
was
just
to
say:
I,
don't
think
we
needed
15
of
us
no
need
to
organize
this.
So
why
don't
we
have
you?
Commissioner
Wangler,
talk
to
Megan
and
then
at
the
point
that
you
have
something
to
say,
talk
to
Dana
garmo
and
he
can
send
out
something
and
invite
people
and
we'll
see
we
can
see
what
sort
of
response
we
get
and.
F
Are
used
to
are
you
after
one
hour,
increments
or
four
hour,
I,
think
split
it
up
or
whatever
people
will.
A
Let
miss
your
Wangler
figure
out
some
sort
of
plan
and
what
we'll
hear
when
I
mean
I
I
would
rather,
if
I'm
going
to
do
it.
I'd
rather
just
go
and
do
a
Saturday
for
me
to
take
one
hour
that
didn't
fit
my
schedule,
but
everybody's
life
is
different,
so
propose
something
and
we'll
see
who
salutes
okay.
A
K
N
One
of
the
issues
was
getting
better
getting
better
data
on
what
the
the
current
usages
of
the
current
stations
and
so
I
contacted
the
owners
of
the
current
stations
to
see
if
they
did
any
online
monitoring
so
that
they
could
give
us
more
data,
and
the
answer
is
no,
they
don't
so,
but
then
I
did
find.
There's
a
company
called
ekm
ekm
monitoring
that
would
provide
monitors
for
these
kinds
of
charging
stations
if
we
deemed
it
useful
to
do
so,
the
cost
would
be
about
two
hundred
dollars
per
station.
N
So
if
we
were
considering
linking
up,
say
30
stations
we're
looking
at
about
so
it's
an
open
question
whether
that
would
be
a
good
way
to
spend
our
money.
One
thought
I
had
listening
to
this
presentation
here.
It
was
interesting
to
hear
and
describe
what
the
modus
operandi
is.
An
electric
vehicle
owners
these
days,
which
is
not
to
go
to
one
and
when
you're
on
empty
and
then
fill
it
all
the
way
up
that
we
do
with
gas
stations
well,
this
kind
of
monitor
would
provide
us
with
that
kind
of
data.
N
L
Regarding
the
monitoring,
if
the
city
started
charging
for
those
chargers,
you
would
have
the
monitoring
dan
data
you
would.
You
would
have
all
that
data.
If
you
start
is
going
to
be
started
charging
thing,
they
would
give
you
the
data,
so
you
get
paid
to
collect
the
data
rather
than
to
pay
to
get
the
data,
and
he
was
right.
You
know
you.
When
you
go
to
these
charging
stations,
you
go
to
get
a
bite
to
eat.
You
go
to
do
something.
L
D
F
Stacy,
we
actually
are
in
the
process
the
very
early
stages
of
evaluating
as
the
time
limit
for
the
grant
has
exceeded
for
those
for
the
existing
EB
charging
station.
So
we
are
actually
evaluating
a
potential
franchise
agreement
for
potentially
starting
to
charge.
Obviously
with
that
would
come
the
same
installation
for
the
Wi-Fi
and
all
the
things
that
you
would
need
for
the
data
collection
and,
of
course,
that
would
be
available
to
the
Commission.
Do.
A
Okay,
great
well
I
would
think
it
would
make
sense,
as
those
grant
funding
terms
end
for
us
to
indeed
not
pay
for
it
ourselves
ever
think.
Okay,
all
right.
We
are
at
item
G,
the
committee
and
Commissioner
reports,
and
first
one
is
the
Standing
Committee
on
green
building.
Commissioners
Freeman
and
Ottawa.
G
Okay,
so
we're
moving
forward
with
our
half-day
seminar
on
see
any
implementation,
most
likely
in
October
to
comma
date,
up
by
potential
participation
by
the
US
Green
Building
Council,
the
updated
outlines,
including
in
our
reports.
You
have
chances
or
see
where
we
are
so
far.
I
spoke
a
few
weeks
ago
with
KD
by
Rho
sub
C
vague
and
we
hope
to
have
Tom
Kirk,
the
executive
director
of
C
bag.
G
As
our
moderator
and
as
we
sort
of
try
and
nail
down
the
schedule,
we
should
be
able
to
work
that
out
I'm
also
in
contact
with
them
representative
of
SCE.
As
you
may
recall,
they
had
done
a
presentation
back
in
April.
The
Daniel
wasn't
able
to
attend
so
that
person,
or
perhaps
one
of
his
colleagues
would
be
able
to
Jack
been
subject
to
scheduling,
will
be
meeting
again
on
Thursday
to
sort
of
further
refine
mom
with
speakers
and
co-sponsors
and
also
work
out
a
budget.
So
we
can.
G
We
can
move
forward
on
that,
but
so
far
we've
gotten
some
expressions,
goods,
expressions
of
interest
and
then
Commissioner,
goings
and
I
are
separately
working
on
a
workshop
for
interior
green
building
techniques.
During
modernism
week,
twenty
eighteen-
he
is
also
once
again
on
an
expression
of
interest
from
the
Green
Building
Council
and
I'm,
in
touch
with
a
local
interior
designer
to
try
and
get
somebody
who
specializes
in
that
area
to
also
join
us
and
then
we'll
submit
the
proposal
to
modernism
week
in
the
next
few
weeks,
and
that
has
to
go
through
their
board.
G
A
F
L
Yeah
I
haven't
talked
spoken
to
Commissioner
Freeman
for
a
few
for
a
little
bit
about
this,
but
what
I've
been
working
on
a
my
annive?
It's
been
very
well
received
from
the
from
the
shareholders
from
the
professionals
in
this
industry
and
I.
Really
don't
think
this
is
going
to
be
very
expensive.
I
think
that
there
I
think
that
there
should
be
some
sponsorship
opportunity
there
and
it
wouldn't
be
very
hard
to
for
it
to
be
almost
self
funding.
L
I
think
that
a
little
bit
of
advertising
is
what's
going
to
be
needed
from
the
Commission
and,
of
course
those
are
going
to
be
at
discounted
rates.
Possibly
the
the
sponsors
would
be
paying
for
that
as
well,
but
we
do
need
sort
of
a
catch-all
so
that
you
know
we
go
out
there
and
start
giving
this
going
and
the
sponsor
has
only
come
up
with
half
of
it
or
whatever.
This
thing
still
goes
on
and
that's
sort
of
what
the
the
five
to
ten
was
for.
L
A
L
F
A
Okay,
I'm
right
for
next
so
okay,
great
so
commissioners,
is.
Is
that
sort
of
budget
recommendation
of
what
you
would
like
to
suggest
to
our
ad
hoc
committee?
That's
working
on
how
our
budget
would
look
for
the
next
fiscal
year?
Would
you
like
to
direct
them
to
your
mark
up
to
ten
thousand
dollars
not
to
exceed.
L
Okay,
I'll,
give
it
a
shot
and
then
and
Commissioner
Freeman
will
fix
it
for
me.
So
what
what
our
goal
was?
L
Well,
what
our
goals
are
is
to
help
educate
the
the
contractors
of
zero
net
energy
and,
what's
coming
and
and
what
the
requirements
are
2020.
We
know
that
they're
going
to
be
changing,
but
the
fact
is
is
that
we're
trying
to
make
our
homes
more
energy
efficient?
You
know
we
could
talk
solar
all
day
long
than
I
do.
But
the
truth
is
is
that
you
know
energy
efficiency
is
cheaper
than
production
of
energy.
So
what
are
what
we're
hoping
to
do
is
by
educating
them.
Is
that
our
valley
contractors?
L
L
Secondly,
it
brings
them,
it
will
bring
some
prominence
and
some
credibility
to
the
sustainability,
Commission
and
Palm
Springs,
for
what
they're
trying
to
do
by
doing
something
a
little
bit
broader
doing
something
a
little
bit
more
advertised,
hopefully
help
out
our
contractors,
our
designers,
our
architects,
to
be
more
competitive
and
to
be
better
at
what
they
do
and
I
think.
That's
that
also
about
what
I
got
I.
G
Mean
that's
essentially
it
see.
Bag
is
quite
supportive,
hopefully
they'll
be
able
to
kick
in
a
little
bit
of
a
bit
of
money.
I
mean
Katie
did
mentioned
that
where
she
couldn't
commit
to
it,
but
she
did
indicate
that
they
would
be
able
to.
You
know,
provide
some
support
for
that
and
once
again,
that
will
help
us
and
I'll
get
to
I.
G
Think
if
you
bring
in
C
bag,
then
it'll
be
easier
to
get
in
some
of
the
other
sponsors,
so
I'll
be
following
up
with
Katie,
probably
tomorrow
on
that
as
we
as
we
work
through
that,
but
they
recognize
that
this
is,
you
know,
is
important
valley,
wide
issue
we
are.
We
would
once
again
be
taking
a
leadership
role,
but
I
think
C
bag
is
in
many
cases,
looking
to
Palm
Springs
for
exactly
that
kind
of
leadership.
G
So
we
would
be,
you
know,
meaning
mean
our
commitment
and
the
sustainability
goals
that
we
all
set
that
last
year
there
in
the
in
the
plan.
D
F
F
D
A
Observation
is
I,
mean
there's
potentially
several
several
tens,
if
not
hundreds
and
thousand
dollars
worth
of
money
available
next
year
right,
but
you
always
looking
at
it
in
some
different
ways.
So
it's
certainly
five
to
ten
thousand
would
not
exhaust
our
budget
in
any
way
shape
or
form
Corrado.
If.
A
A
A
Second,
okay,
second
finish
up
here:
is
there
other
discussion
so
we're
referring
this
as
a
budget
item
to
the
ad
hoc
committee
on
the
budget?
All
right
all
in
favor
say:
yes,
yes,
Jose,
no
abstain!
All
right,
so
we've
sent
a
budget
item
in
there.
I
think
there
could
be
another
one
coming
up
if
I'm
reading
my
report,
okay,
anything
else
on.
A
G
So
is
Commissioner
Middleton
I
mentioned
a
little
bit
earlier.
It
looks
like
we'll
be
on
council
agenda
for
July
5th
I'll,
be
barring
a
public
comment
happy
to
circulate
that
in
advance.
It
won't
be
very
different
than
what
I've
said
before
and
I'll
be,
of
course,
would
be
available
to
answer
any
questions.
I
believe
staff
will
be
relying
largely
on
the
research
that
I've
done.
I
am
monitoring
the
costs
as
set
out
in
the
state
database.
G
I
provided
Commissioner
Middleton
I
met
on
May
30th,
with
councilmember
Coors
and
Marcus,
and
Flynn
and
provided
sort
of
some
updated
cost-effectiveness.
Numbers
and
I'll
be
updating
that
if
the
state
updates
its
database
I
have
the
numbers
through
March
and
hopefully
we'll
get
them
through
April
in
the
next
couple
of
days.
So
Solar
related.
Also
on
tomorrow's
council
agenda,
there
will
be
discussion
of
community
choice,
aggregation
to
participate
in
the
sieve
AG
project
and
provide
direction
to
mayor
moon
for
the
sieve.
G
Ag
Executive
Committee
meeting
on
the
26th
next
Monday-
and
you
recall
the
presentation
that
Katy
barrows
made
on
that
so
looks
like
council
will
be
moving
forward.
I,
don't
think
they
need
anything
almost
looks
like
they're
moving
along
quite
well
without
us,
but
that's
good
to
know,
and
also
somewhat
solar
related,
but
nevertheless,
important
council
will
be
considering
tomorrow
also
limits
Genda,
a
resolution
in
support
of
Palm
Springs,
maintaining
its
commitment
to
the
Paris
climate
agreement.
A
Further
questions
on
this
subcommittee
report-
I'm
assuming
Commissioner
Freeman-
that
we
should
keep
this
on
the
agenda
during
the
process
of
the
council.
I
mean
what
I've
you
know
we're
at
the
end
of
our
fiscal
year,
so
some
of
our
ad
hoc
committees-
we
we
will
sunset
after
tonight,
but
this
is
a
standing
committee.
Should
we
keep
this
on
the
agenda
for
the
foreseeable
future
during
the
council
process?
Yes,.
G
Because
we
have
to
go
through
I
think
at
least
hopefully
by
the
end
of
the
year,
we
might
be
VB
through
the
entire
process,
because
after
assuming
council
adopts
in
first
reading,
as
I
mentioned,
it
has
to
go
through
the
energy
commission
and
then
come
back
to
Council.
So
we're
looking
at
you
know,
November
December
for
wrap
second
reading,
given
the
the
Energy
Commission
process,
so
I
would
say,
at
least
through
the
end
of
we
would
evaluate
sort
of
probably
November
December,
once
assuming
councils
through
the
process,
and
maybe
after
that
we'd
be
over
okay.
N
May
25th,
Roy
and
I
had
a
meeting
with
Chris
Cunningham,
Gary,
Calhoun
and
Stacy
Schaefer
to
discuss
next
moves
and
define
action
items
for
the
waste
reduction
subcommittee.
We
identified
three
action
items
in
no
particular
order.
It
was
one
was
to
develop
educational
fires
or
a
educational
fire
to
provide
information
to
managers
and
owners
of
businesses
producing
food
waste,
informing
them
of
Assembly
Bill
1826
requirements.
N
The
critical
need
for
these
fires
and
for
education
now
is
because
solid
food
waste
diversion
requirements
will
soon
expand
from
businesses
that
produce
eight
or
more
cubic
feet
of
waste
to
businesses
that
produce
only
four
or
more
cubic
feet
of
waste.
So
that's
a
that's
a
discussion
issue
for
us
as
to
how
to
move
forward
on
giving
these
Flyers
together
again
mode
and
and
whether
I
mean
that
might
be
a
budget
issue
that
we
would
pay
for.
It.
N
N
So
the
second
item
was
to
to
summarize
joint
efforts
that
PSD
s
and
our
waste
recovery
systems
subcommittee
has
been
engaging
in
over
the
last
six
months
to
increase
the
level
of
compliance
among
Palm
Springs
multifamily
complexes
with
california
state
assembly
bill
341,
which
requires
multi-family
residential
dwellings
of
five
units
or
more
to
arrange
for
recycling
services.
The
status
on
this
item
is
closed.
N
As
a
we've
submitted,
a
report
summarizing
our
joint
activities
to
Stacey
on
June
13th
and
the
third
one
to
resurrect
a
recommendation
to
Palm
Springs
City
Council
for
an
ordinance
to
adopt
desert
valley,
disposals
preferred
construction
and
demolition
hauler
program
and
determine
what
we
need
to
do
to
justify
a
recommendation
for
this
ordinance
too.
So
an
update
on
that
after
the
meeting
on
June
15th
I
spoke
to
Daniel
porous
who's.
N
The
community
development
director
up
in
Desert
Hot
Springs
I
asked
him
for
an
over-the-phone
evaluation
of
the
preferred
construction
program
as
it
was
adopted
by
Desert
Hot
Springs
in
2015.
The
the
report
was
very
positive
from
him.
He
said
that
90%
of
new
construction
permits
are
currently
going
through
this
program
on
there
and
he
made
it
very
plausible
or
positive,
rather
verbal
recommendation
to
adopt
the
program
in
other
cities
like
Palm
Springs.
N
He
identified
three
particular
areas
where
the
program
has
been
of
direct
value
to
Desert
Hot,
Springs,
waste
management
tracking,
when
the
preferred
provider
does
it
and
what
what
you're
essentially
taking
out
is
the
mom
and
pop
organizations
that
will
take
away
in
dispose
of
construction
material.
But
you
don't
know
where
they're
taking
it.
You
can't
track
where
it's
going,
so
this
program
doesn't
much
better
job
of
that.
N
The
the
company
manages
all
waste
disposal,
operations
and
reporting
requirements,
thus
relieving
the
burden
on
applicants
who
don't
to
worry
about
that
sort
of
thing
on
by
themselves
and
M.
Dhs
has
annual
percentage
construction,
waste
recycling
metrics
that
they're
trying
to
make-
and
this
particular
program
is
helping
the
city
to
meet
those
metrics.
N
So
again,
next
steps
on
that.
What
are
they
to
then
take
this
information?
We
need
more
information
to
come
up
with
a
new
recommendation
to
City
Council,
and
when
should
we
do
I
think
there's
some
there's
some
time
urgency
on
this
because,
as
everybody
knows,
there's
an
awful
lot
of
construction
going
on
in
Palm
Springs
right
at
the
moment,
it.
A
Seems
to
me
that
I
mean
on
on
this
third
point
that
perhaps
for
you
to
schedule
a
committee
meeting
time
and
whichever
appropriate
staff
ought
to
be
there,
and
maybe
Gary
is
one
of
those
instead
as
part
of
his
field.
If
you
can
schedule
a
subcommittee
meeting
and
discuss
it
if
and
then
maybe
come
back
to
our
next
meeting
with,
if
you,
if
you
are
ready,
if
there
is
some
motion
you
want
to
make,
we
would
put
that
in
the
agenda
as
new
business
for
a
motion
that
we
could
at
least
have
a
first
discussion.
A
F
N
F
A
A
F
A
D
C
Clark
going
alarming
that
I
had
notes
from
the
meeting
that
I
think
Gary
and
Stacy
and
Chris
had
some
Flyers
on
the
subject
from
the
past
that
we're
going
to
be
provided
to
us.
It
gets
a
little
early
to
talk
about
the
cost
of
the
flies.
We
need
to
figure
out
what
what
will
go
into
them
sure,
but.
D
C
I'll
just
add
something
about
one
topic
that
we
had
about
a
minute
to
talk
about
at
the
end
of
the
meeting,
because
we
ran
out
of
time,
but
his
hustle
battery
recycling
and
I
think
there
was
general
interest
that
we
should
try
to
develop
a
program.
But
the
real
big
question
is:
where
did
the
batteries
go
when
they're
picked
up
by
Home,
Depot
or
Lowe's
or
desert?
Ark
and
I
did
get
some
information
from
Chris?
C
He
provided
me
the
name
of
a
place
that
Burrtec,
who
runs
the
MRF
since
their
batteries
and
I,
told
him
I
would
follow
up
with
desert
Ark
and
find
out
what
they
do
with
the
batteries
as
well.
But
in
order
to
have
any
kind
of
an
effective
program,
we
really
need
to
have
somebody
that
will
pick
up
batteries
at
places
and
bring
them
to
the
right
recycling
center
and
they
did
find
out
that
there
are
many
recycling
centers
that
actually
take
batteries
apart.
C
A
E
E
I
A
All
right
item
5
the
ad
hoc
committee
on
the
budget-
and
we
have
a
nice
report
so
I
don't
know
who's,
Commissioner,
Goins,
Clark
and
Wangler.
Is
there
any
good
information?
Is
there?
Is
there
discussion
items
you
want
us
to
I
like
tonight,
then
in
your
report
I
mean
it
was
I
mean
it
looks
like
you've
got
a
good,
a
good
start.
You've
got
some
next
steps.
I
D
I
But
in
particular,
if
you
look
at
the
sustainability
budget,
there's
a
line
item
in
there
of
roughly
140
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars,
it's
pulled
out
every
year
from
the
sustainability
Commission's
budget
and
we're
just
trying
to
get
more
information
about
that.
What
because
it's
it's
for
a
limited
amount
of
time,
so
we
want
to
know
how
much
longer
this
is
going
to
be
taken
out
of
the
budget,
and
you
know
just
some
more
details
about
you
know.
I
I
personally,
don't
know
a
lot
about
it,
so
I'm
trying
to
find
out
more
information
about
how
it
was
established.
What
is
for
how
long
we're
going
to
be
obligated
with
this,
because
that
that
piece
is
critical?
You
know
in
determining
how
we
move
forward
with
that's
a
lot
of
money
and
once
that
money
is
freed
up,
that
goes
back
in
the
sustainability
budget
for
us
to
use
so
we're
working
with
the
city
staff
on
that
information.
C
That
we
sure,
but
one
of
the
things
that
have
been
discussed
in
one
or
two
of
our
past
Commission
meetings,
was
whether
or
not
we
should
look
at
having
a
staff
person,
full-time
or
part-time
or
devote
the
ones
that
we
do
have
available
to
programs.
And
it
was
the
general
consensus
of
three
of
us
on
the
subcommittee
that
we
really
should
look
toward
getting
a
full-time
staff
person.
C
A
K
D
E
K
K
E
A
K
E
E
K
A
A
I
A
I
A
G
Dwa
reported
this
morning,
a
28%
reduction
in
water
consumption
in
May
compared
with
the
2013
baseline,
and
they
continue
to
show
a
full
reduction
of
24
percent
since
the
restrictions
started.
Of
course,
they
have
been
lifted
so
when
I
congratulate
the
city
and
the
residents
and
the
businesses
for
continuing
their
their
conservation
efforts,
because
that's
a
that's
a
really
good,
that's
really
good
number,
particularly
since
there
was
no
rain.
Last
month.
The
downside
of
that
is,
since
some
TWA
is
selling
last
quarter
to
me,
they
will
be
increasing
their
rates.
G
This
is
the
previously
approved
rate
increase
on
with
sort
of
steps
for
each
coming
fiscal
year,
so
the
next
step
was
July
1
that
was
approved
at
this
morning's
TWA
meeting.
The
rate
for
cubic
feet,
which
is
roughly
under
750
gallons,
will
be
going
from
a
dollar
fifty
seven
to
a
dollar.
Seventy
two
and
the
monthly
charge
for
most
single-family
residences
fixed
charge
will
go
from
1441
to
eighteen,
twelve
that
will
be
used
to
cover
their
fixed
costs.
G
They
are
putting
about
four
million
dollars
into
pipe
replacement
and
coordinating
with
the
city
to
make
sure
that
streets
are
done
and
not
row
sort
of
having
to
to
be
redone
a
few
months
later
with
with
with
the
pipes.
The
other
thing
is
that
DW
a
has
issued
their
2016
water
quality
report,
which
is
available
on
their
website.
G
Marcus
had
received
and
I
believe
Stacy
may
have
been
copied
on
a
query
from
some
residents
about
potentially
banning
water
softeners
in
Palm
Springs,
that's
largely
preempted
by
state
law.
That
Marcus
was
able
to
research.
However,
DWA
in
the
water
quality
report
indicates
that
it
does
discourage
water
softeners
and
actually
has
a
prohibition
on
discharge
of
excessive
salt
into
the
system.
So
Marcus
was
able
to
answer
that
query
and
respond
to
some
resident
comments
that
were
circulating
on
next-door.
K
A
K
So
you
can
kind
of
see
here
we
have
dr.
to
a
tortoise
rescue.
We
had
the
permaculture
people
or
Joshua
Tree
transition
and
in
the
paper
the
next
day
the
Joshua
tree
tortoise
recipe
was
featured
as
well
as
Joshua,
Tree,
National,
Park
I.
Don't
know
why
she
chose
those
two
exhibitors,
but
at
least
it
kind
of
gives
us
an
idea
that
the
high
desert
is
not
that
far.
K
This
is
really
neat.
The
S
Club
from
Yucca
Valley,
High
School.
They
have
a
bee,
exhibit
save
the
bees
and
they
were
doing
an
art
project
with
kids.
So
we
had
a
lot
of
interactive
art
opportunities
for
kids.
We
had
the
robotics
team,
also
the
smart
education,
one
of
one
of
the
main
educators
transition.
Joshua
Tree,
is
really
great
for
just
educating
community
and
that's
the
National
Park
one
of
our
Rangers.
K
Two
of
your
people
here
Nate,
and
that
was
great
and
he
had
master
composters-
were
their
master
gardeners.
They
said
it
was
a
little
bit
loud
at
first,
and
so
we
had
to
turn
down
the
music,
so
we're
thinking,
maybe
for
the
next
year.
We
do
this
doing
this.
Maybe
they
could
go
out
in
the
the
transition
area
from
the
outside
end,
just
to
be
able
to
have
a
little
less
noise
compete
with
when
they're
really
trying
to
share
information.
K
G
K
K
And
this
lady,
that
sells
earth
flex,
which
is
just
a
really
nice
addition,
because
those
are
great
gifts
and
it's
just
a
nice
thing
to
happen.
Then
we
had
our
flow
box
and
circus
artists.
They
did
an
abbreviated
version
of
Earth
alchemy,
which
they
can
kind
of
change
the
theme,
but
they
were
there
all
afternoon
and
getting
kids
dancing
and
and
interested
in
circus
arts,
and
this
is
a
man
actually
that
we
found.
Thank
you,
I,
know
Bri
charity
from
before.
K
K
K
So
thank
you
as
our
contribution
from
the
sustainability
Commission
and
the
Living
Desert
had
animal
encounters,
which
is
always
a
huge
hits,
so
they
have
a
hissing,
cockroach
and
I,
really
just
a
neat
way
to
learn
them
in
the
Madagascar.
Cockroaches,
obviously,
is
not
from
here
and
less
scary-looking
than
ours,
bigger
or
Wi-Fi
down.
The
rosy
boa
is
a
local
native
snake.
K
So
we
did
have
a
couple
food
vendors.
We
have
dramedy,
they
came
a
little
bit
late.
You
know,
I
think
everyone
was
really
happy
about
participating.
All
the
exhibitors
pretty
much
said
that
they
would
like
to
come
back
again,
which
is
good,
we've
had
repeat
exhibitors
every
single
year
and
it's
just
kind
of
grown
and
we've
held.
You
know
at
least
20
exhibitors
or
more
so
that's
that's
been
pretty
great
I
mean
we
do
have
a
few
reflections
of
what
we
want
to
perhaps
change
for
next
time.
I
think
that
this
is
pretty
much
over.
K
A
K
Like
we
did
have
increased
attendance
of
the
public.
Unfortunately,
what
happened
was
the
urban
Conservation
Corps
so
that
they
were
sending
six
people
they
sent
two
and
we
had
them
at
the
door
and
they
were
to
be
collecting
that
information
writing
down.
Everyone
that
came
in
and
giving
raffle
tickets
is
another
way
to
count
how
many
people
came
through
the
door,
and
that
didn't
happen.
And
yet,
when
you
looked
at
the
parking
lot,
it
was
full.
You
know
all
the
way
to
the
baseball
field,
so
so
I
think
that
that
shows
there
was
different.
K
Fluxes
of
you
know,
people
that
came
through
at
different
times.
There
was
one
time
you
know
in
the
middle
of
the
event
that
it
felt
really
really
full,
but
that
event
space
is
huge,
and
so
we
have
a
couple
ideas
of
how
we
could
possibly
make
it
feel.
Not
so
big
is
just
even
bringing
in
the
exhibitor
tables.
K
K
You
definitely
want
to
be
able
to
count
come
in
better
next
time,
so
you
know
either
stationing
commissioners
at
the
door
or
you
know,
I,
don't
know,
kids
are
not
that
responsible,
perhaps,
and
the
urban
conservation
corps,
maybe
next
time
as
they
do
I
think
that
would
be
adequate
to
man
that
area.
But
for
this
time
it
didn't
work
for
actually
collecting
that
data.
K
K
Is
in
the
last
hour
really
winked,
and
so
perhaps
four
hours
is
a
little
bit
bomb
that
maybe
next
time
we
do
a
three-hour
event.
It's
a
little
bit.
We
contain
it
a
little
bit
more,
maybe
not
have
so
many
vans,
and
the
other
thing
that
we've
got
is
that
the
environmental
art
awards
was
kind
of
in
the
middle
of
the
event,
maybe
perhaps
but
it
toward
the
end
like
if
we
end
up
five
o'clock
of
the
award
ceremony
at
4:30
and
that
way
they
can
kind
of
round
up
the
event
will
have
our
raffle.
K

A
K
For
health
and
wellness
it
has
been
brought
to
my
attention
and
a
variety
of
ways
about
a
concern
of
staying
hydrated
in
the
desert.
We
live
in
the
desert
and,
of
course
it's
a
concern
and
most
of
us
know
to
keep
our
you
know.
Refillable
water
bottles
with
us
at
all
times,
but
I
would
like
to
you
know,
put
make
a
motion
to
put
on
the
agenda
for
perhaps
also
September
or
maybe
July,
to
discuss
watering
stations.
K
Know
in
part
for
homeless
people
that
you
know
that
need
to
have
that
I
think
that
there's
there's
a
lot
of
expressed,
concern
that
that
you
know
120
degree
weather
that
there's
just
not
enough
water,
but
you
know
for
others
for
just
community
members,
it's
not
safe
to
keep
our
plastic
water
bottles
in
the
car.
I
mean
some
people
used
to
do
that
and
there's
some
concern
that
that
can
cause
cancer.
K
You
know
just
the
inflated
heat
but
plastic,
the
poly
or
whatever
it's
made
out
of
so.
If,
if
we
had
watering
stations
placed
strategically
throughout
the
community,
it
would
be
a
good
way
to
encourage
people
to
also
you
know,
really
bring
their
water
bottles,
that
they
eat
them
in
the
parks
and
maybe
one
downtown
or
something.
So
we
could
discuss
that.
That's
it's
something!
That's
been
done
in
various
schools
to
encourage
hydration,
and
so
it's
cold
water.
K
K
D
I
The
idea
came
up
that
maybe
we
put
forward
a
resolution
as
a
commission
to
the
City
Council
to
declare
a
month
to
be
a
sustainability
month
for
the
city
of
Palm,
Springs,
possibly
October,
to
kick
off
the
season
this
year.
We
already
have
you
know
one
event:
that's
moving
forward
for
for
October
the
internet,
energy
event,
and
we
could,
you
know,
have
other
events
that
happen
and
just
have
a
concentration
of
events
related
to
sustainability
in
the
month
of
October
and
really
publicize.
It.
A
I
C
Right
and-
and
we
did
discuss
that
in
the
follow-up
meeting
of
our
ad-hoc
Budget
Committee
John
and
Michael
and
I
participated
in
and
Michael
reported
on
that,
and
that
was
the
type
of
thing
that
we
thought
would
be
justification
for.
The
position
that
we're
interested
in
having
a
full-time
position
to
support
us.
A
A
F
L
L
Not
that
not
that
I
was
born
here,
but
you
know
it.
My
family
does
run
deep
here
and
a
lot
of
them
never
never
wondered.
Often
my
daughter,
I
guess,
would
be
considered
a
fifth
generation.
So
you
know,
city
of
Palm
Springs
is
important
to
me
and
its
success
and
and
the
citizens
here.
You
know
we
have
great
neighbors,
you
get
to
meet
people
from
all
around
the
world
without
having
to
get
on
a
plane.
L
A
Have
appreciated
your
expertise
that
you
have
so
willingly
offered
us?
Thank
you,
and
in
ten
days
you
get
to
be
the
general
public
again,
and
so
you
can
sit
out
there
and
talk
to
us
and
public
comment,
and
you
can
certainly,
if
you
are
willing,
continue
to
serve
on
a
subcommittee
as
a
member
of
the
as
public.
If
you
are
so
inclined,
yeah.
L
A
A
A
We
don't
have
confirmation
from
the
clerk.
Okay,
all
right,
so
we'll
we'll
see
she
had
a
interim
appointment.
It
required
a
reappointment
by
the
council,
so
we'll
we'll
see
who
shows
up
in
July.
Who
knows
who
knows?
Who
might
be
here
all
right?
We
are
at
idem.
I
commissioner
comments.
Anybody
have
anything
to
say
that
they
haven't
already
said:
I
actually
have
one
minor
thing:
I
in
a
casual
conversation
ran
across
some
information
about
a
solar
project.
A
Apparently
a
number
of
airports
across
the
country
are
using
the
periphery
of
their
facilities
to
have
solar
panels
there
and
that
and
they're
generating
all
kinds
of
electricity
and
they're
doing
it
in
Albuquerque,
they're
doing
it
in
Lakeland,
Florida
they're
doing
it
in
Denver
and
I
seems
to
me.
We
have
some,
and-
and
this
is
something
that
the
FAA
I
mean.
Obviously
these
big
airports
are
doing
it
with
full
knowledge
of
the
FAA,
and
so
the
solar
panels
are
not
creating
any
flight
hazards.
