Description
City of Palm Springs City Council, held February 10th 2022
A
A
A
All
councils
president,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
We
do
not
have
any
presentations
this
evening.
The
next
item
is
acceptance
of
agenda,
but
before
we
get
into
the
acceptance
of
the
agenda,
I'm
going
to
call
on
the
city
manager
to
report
to
us
why
it
is
that
we
are
going
to
be
unable
to
have
a
presentation
from
the
president
of
the
college
of
the
desert
this
evening
and
other
individuals
from
the
college
of
the
desert.
We
are
city
manager.
Thank
thank
you.
E
Thank
you,
mayor
and
council.
I
do
regret
to
request
that
we
remove
item
5a
completely
from
the
agenda
to
be
postponed
and
hopefully
rescheduled
for
a
later
date.
The
impetus
for
this
meeting
goes
back
to
january
24th.
As
you
know,
a
couple
of
council
member
liaisons,
along
with
myself,
have
been
having
bi-monthly
meetings
with
president
superintendent
garcia,
as
well
as
two
trustees
and
at
that
january
24th
meeting
they
did
offer
to
come
and
make
a
presentation
to
council.
E
E
the
next
day,
tuesday.
The
8th.
We
did
get
confirmation
later
that
day
noticing
that
we
have
an
unusual
circumstance
on
our
agenda
this
evening,
which
is
a
public
hearing
that
needs
to
be
scheduled
as
close
to
7
pm
as
possible.
I
did
note
that
that
could
create
a
circumstance
where,
if
some
of
the
agenda
went
long,
we
might
be
a
little
bit
after
that
time
but
wednesday.
The
following
day,
I
was
notified
by
dr
garcia
that
she
had
a
conflict
and
would
need
to
leave
the
meeting
by
7
15..
E
I
did
reach
out
early
this
morning
by
email
to
ask
about
postponing
and
rescheduling
and
proposed.
A
number
of
dates
should
note,
too,
that
we
did
explore
options
of
rearranging
the
agenda
quite
aggressively
to
get
to
this
item.
We
know
that
there
were
numerous
members
of
the
public
residents
and
business
stakeholders
that
had
hoped
to
participate,
so
we
did
exhaust
those
efforts
but
were
really
unsuccessful.
We
didn't
see
a
way
that
we
could
have
a
complete
conversation,
given
the
constraints,
so
this
morning
asked
to
postpone.
E
I
did
follow
that
up
with
a
call
to
president
garcia's
office
and
reached
one
of
her
staff
members
early
this
morning
about
10
am
and
just
to
make
sure
they
knew
the
email
was
coming
and
there
wouldn't
be
confusion.
I
did
call
later
about
11
30
in
the
morning,
just
to
stress
that
we
would
like
to,
if
possible,
get
some
confirmation
that
they
first
understood
that
we
weren't
able
to
get
to
the
item
and
that
we
would
like
to
reschedule.
E
I
was
informed
at
that
time
that
dr
garcia
has
a
very
busy
schedule
which,
which
I
think
we
all
understand.
Unfortunately,
I
did
not
receive
a
reply,
at
least
as
of
right
now,
confirming
that
they
wouldn't
be
able
to
attend
or
that
they
would
reschedule.
But
I
do
trust,
given
that
this
meeting
was
their
suggestion.
E
To
begin
with
that,
we
will
be
able
to
reschedule
I've
offered
in
that
same
email
communication
that
we
would
be
as
flexible
as
we
can
reasonably
be
to
either
put
this
on
one
of
the
next
regular
agendas
or
even
to
schedule
a
special
study
session
sometime
in
march.
That
might
be
more
convenient
for
representatives
of
college
of
the
desert
to
make
sure
that
we
really
can
have
everyone
present
and
have
a
thorough
conversation,
noting
that
we
had
30
or
potentially
more
residents
that
wanted
to
weigh
in
the
city.
E
Clerk
has
reached
those
residents
and
explained
that
we
would
likely
be
deferring
this
item
and
asking
if
they
would
choose
to
also
defer
their
public
comments
all,
but
one
confirmed
that
they
would
like
to
defer.
So
we
do
have
one
member
of
the
public
to
speak
to
that
item
and
after
consulting
the
city
attorney,
despite
the
fact
that
this
is
removed
from
the
agenda
we
do
feel
since
it
was
agenda,
is
that
we
can
take
that
at
the
early
section
of
public
comment
meant
for
items
on
the
agenda.
E
A
Thank
you,
mr
clifton,
and
on
behalf
of
the
entire
city
council.
We
are
disappointed
that
the
meeting
with
dr
garcia
and
chairman
perez
and
others
will
not
take
place
this
evening.
We
remain
committed
to
having
an
opportunity
for
city
council
to
meet
with
dr
garcia
and
chairman
perez
and
all
all
of
the
leadership
of
the
college
of
the
desert.
This
is
a
critical
issue
for
our
community
for
our
region,
and
we
are
committed
to
having
an
opportunity
for
everyone
in
the
public
to
be
able
to
speak
and
express
their
concerns.
A
A
We
believe
that
this
item
has
been
deferred
and
we
look
forward
to
the
opportunity
to
reschedule
it
at
the
earliest
possible
time
at
a
time
that
is
convenient
to
everyone
at
the
college
of
the
desert
and
affords
the
public
an
opportunity
to
be
heard
and
for
us,
as
a
city
council,
to
be
able
to
consult
with
our
colleagues
at
the
college
of
the
desert
and
with
their
president.
Thank
you
with
that.
A
A
A
B
A
All
right-
and
our
next
item
will
be
to
move
to
public
testimony
on
non-public
hearing
agenda
items
only
this
is
time
has
been
set
aside
for
members
of
the
public
to
address
the
city
council
on
non-public
hearing
agenda
items.
Only
two
minutes
will
be
assigned
to
each
speaker.
You
are
asked
to
please
begin
your
time
by
telling
us
what
agenda
item
or
items
you
are
speaking
about.
Please
note.
A
The
testimony
for
public
hearings
will
be
that
will
be
taken
at
the
time
of
the
public
hearing
and
general
public
comments
on
subjects
that
are
not
on
the
agenda
will
be
taken
later
in
the
evening
approximately
9
tonight
the
city
clerk
will
be
contacting
speakers
via
telephone.
Mr
mejia,
can
you
take
it
away.
G

A
A
A
A
A
The
sad
part
of
this
is
well.
We
approved
the
initial
design
work
this
week,
the
date
that
the
first
car
is
expected
to
roll
down.
That
bypass
is
approximately
mid
2028.,
but
we've
gotten
started
these
infrastructure
projects
are
so
important
to
our
region
and
to
our
community.
So
are
there
any
other
comments?
Councilmember
woods.
H
We
had
mechanisms
in
place,
I'm
a
little
concerned,
and
I
want
to
bring
up
a
recommendation
to
have
an
independent
investigation
of
the
measure.
J
commission-
and
I
can
tell
you
why.
I'm
thinking
of
that
the
metro,
j
commission
is
an
oversight
commission
by
our
city
code
and
it
has
morphed
into
something
much
different
than
an
oversight
commission
and
at
some
point
in
history
which
we're
researching
now
it
was
given
the
opportunity
to
either
recommend
or
actually
spend
a
million
dollars
worth
of
measure.
H
J
funding
that
to
me
seems
to
be
a
huge
conflict,
because
how
can
you
oversee
and
be
an
oversight
commission
at
the
same
time
that
you're
awarding
money
for
projects?
If
somebody
like
cod
were
to
do
that,
I
think
that
our
attorneys
would
likely
be
all
over
it.
So
I
am
very
concerned,
but-
and
I
want
the
investigation-
I
think
it
even
goes
on
further.
H
H
H
H
H
H
It
can
lead
to
open
corruption,
and
I
don't
think
it's
a
good
model
that
we
want
to
set
it's
not
a
transparent
model
and,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
the
rating
sheets
that
each
of
the
commissioners
use
based
on
this
criteria
I
mentioned
earlier,
were
not
available
to
the
public
or
to
me
and
the
rate,
the
overall
rating
sheet,
which
was
completely
you
know
a
rating
all
of
them
was
held
by
the
chair
and
never
distributed
in
the
meeting.
Yet
the
entire
meeting
was
about
that
discussion
that
is
not
transparent.
H
H
That's
not
what
the
code
allows,
they
can
meet
with
city
council.
Other
commissions
have
put
measure
j
step
on
their
agendas,
and
people
have
mentioned
they
don't
want
to
offend
the
chair
or
others.
In
fact
that
they
might
not
get
their
project
approved,
this
puts
way
too
much
power
in
the
hands
of
a
non-elected
official,
and
it's
not
really
the
right
thing
that
we
should
be
doing.
H
H
I
just
you
know,
having
watched
what
happened
in
previous
administrations
before
I
was
on
board.
I
certainly
don't
want
to
repeat
this.
I'm
not
saying
it
is
a
massive
issue,
but
if
they
think
they
can
spend
up
3
million
dollars
and
not
have
a
system
that
seems
fair
and
honest
to
every
single
person
that
applied
for
that,
that's
not
what
we
want,
so
I'm
just
asking
for
an
investigation,
I'm
not
making
any
accusations
at
this
point.
I
just
want
to
understand
what
is
going
on
and
how
we're
going
to
approach
it.
So.
I
All
right,
we
can't
deliberate,
but
I
find
using
our
time
on
this
council
to
attack
a
political
opponent,
because
someone's
from
the
measure
chairs
run
against
you
to
be
incredibly
offensive
and
outrageous.
If
you
think
there's
some
illegal
activity,
you
bring
up
to
the
city
attorney
in
closed
session.
I
Your
all
your
allegations
are
totally
false
and
city
council
voted.
If
you
paid
attention
to
city
council
meetings,
when
the
measure
j
oversight
commission
was
adopted,
it
was
by
the
voters,
not
the
city
council
and
the
first
thing
they
did
was
they
took
applications.
I
think
over
100,
for
how
measure
j
should
be
spent.
Then
they
came
to
city
council
and
say
you
know
just
we'll
make
recommendations,
they
don't
direct
the
money
they
make
recommendations
to
us.
You've
been
on
council.
This
is
your
third
year.
You
should
know
they
make
recommendations
to
us.
I
I
A
F
A
A
I
One
and
to
end
on
a
positive
note,
so
last
week
was
the
first
of
the
chamber
of
commerce
produced
concerts
in
the
park,
mayor,
middleton,
councilmember
woods,
and
I
were
there.
I
don't
know
about
our
other
two
council
members.
Since
it
was
packed.
I
mean
it
was,
I
think,
58
degrees
and
cold
and
windy,
and
you
couldn't
there
was
no
more
room
for
people.
I
So
what
a
great
start
to
of
the
programming
of
our
downtown
park-
and
I
want
to
just
let
people
know
every
wednesday
until
through
july,
the
first
wednesday
of
the
month
will
be
a
concert
and
lots
of
people
went
out
to
dinner
early
and
it's
just
really
fun.
It
was
a
great
concert.
It
was
an
eagles
cover
band.
The
next
one
is
madonna,
and
these
will
keep
going
so
kudos
to
the
chamber
and
thanks
the
city
and
ps
resorts
and
hospitality
association,
our
small
hotel
group
for
sponsoring
this,
along
with
the
chamber.
A
C
Yes,
and
if
I
could,
I
add,
a
discussion
point
mayor
middleton,
if
I
may,
I
just
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
city
staff
for
applying
for
and
receiving
a
million
over
a
million
dollars
in
the
cannabis
social
equity
grant.
I
just
think
our
city
is
really
leading
the
way
for
the
state
on
this
equity
program
in
canada,
cannabis
and
to
support
these
business
owners.
A
A
J
The
street
is
currently
designated
as
a
local
street
and
with
a
required
50
foot
right
away
with
in
certain
areas
of
granville
malte.
However,
the
right-of-way
has
been
reduced
by
20
feet
slightly
below
the
requirement
for
a
local
street.
The
applicant
is
requesting
the
right
of
way
in
front
of
his
home,
be
reduced
by
20
feet
as
well.
The
planning
commission,
at
its
january
12
meeting,
found
that
the
right-of-way
vacation
was,
in
conformance
with
the
general
plan
and
met
the
intended
design
envisioned
in
the
general
plan
circulation
policies.
J
A
Seeing
no
questions
at
this
time,
I
would
like
to
open
the
public
hearing.
The
public
is
invited
to
speak
on
this
public
hearing
item
for
up
to
two
minutes.
Mr
mejia,
do
we
have
any
public
comments?
Madam
mayor?
There's
no
public
comment
for
this
item.
All
right
there
being
no
speakers,
the
public
hearing
is
now
closed.
Is
there
any
addition
in
discussion
or
additional
questions
from
council.
A
L
L
Yes,
we
are
so
good
evening,
madam
mayor
council,
so
tonight
obviously
we're
gonna
go
through
an
update
of
where
we
are
with
kovid
right
now
to
help
reframe
the
discussion
on
our
local
orders,
but
before
we
do
that,
I
do
feel
it's
prudent
to
remind
council
that
we
had
a
massive
backlog
of
cases
that
hit
us
in
between
monday
and
tuesday.
It
was
110
654
cases
that
magically
showed
up
on
tuesday
morning.
L
So
if
we
added
that
data
to
our
normal
graphics,
it
would
skew
things
and-
and
it
would
present
an
inaccurate
picture
of
the
true
nature
of
things
as
they
are
right
now.
So
I
do
have
the
cumulative
data.
I
have
been
working
very
closely
with
public
health
and
their
chief
epidemiologist,
so
we
do
have
the
cumulative
data,
but
not
the
granularity
that
I
normally
show
you
here
at
the
city
level,
the
preponderance
of
that
hundred
and
ten
thousand
about.
L
L
So,
instead
of
the
normal
riverside
county
graphic
that
I
show
you,
I
I
pulled
the
epic
epidemiological
report
because
they've
actually
gone
back
in
and
corrected
all
the
backlog
data
by
week,
we're
still
working
on
getting
that
at
the
zip
code
and
city
level.
It
is
a
work
in
progress,
but
what
this
shows
you
is.
We
had
a
major
peak
in
mid-january
and
a
gradual
downward
trend,
and
we
see
that
the
the
peak
for
omicron
in
mid-january
was
significantly
higher
than
the
peak
that
we
saw
last.
I
L
L
As
I
noted
you
know,
the
the
backlog
really
throws
the
graphic
off
so
instead
of
trying
to
add
1300
cases
to
this
week,
I
just
put
a
block
underneath
that
shows
what
we
were
tracking
on
monday
was
close
to
6
000
cases,
but
in
reality
our
total
pace.
Count
for
palm
springs
is
just
over
7
and
again,
I'm
working
with
the
county
to
to
clear
up
and
really
paint
a
better
picture
of
where
we
sit.
L
E
L
A
L
Okay,
madam
mayor,
so
to
not
reiterate
all
the
words
that
I've
said
I'll
just
highlight.
As
you
can
see,
the
state
and
the
county
have
rectified
the
backlog
at
their
level.
But
it's
going
to
take
time
to
to
put
all
of
those
cases
in
the
right
place
for
for
zip
code
for
us
to
track
it
at
the
city
level.
L
L
L
As
this,
this
slide
shows
so
and
that's
about
the
time
when
we
started
seeing
a
drastic
plummet
in
the
case
counts,
which
is
it's
hopeful,
but
we
do
have
ways
to
go
and,
and
our
gt
molecular
slide
that
shows
their
estimated
case
counts.
You
know
it
peaked
on
for
them
january
11th,
with
about
38,
000
cases,
estimated
and
now
we're
around
1600,
and
that
includes
residents,
visitors
and
anybody
that
comes
to
get
rid
of
water
in
palm
springs.
L
Before
we
move
on,
I
do
have
two
more
slides
that
I'd
like
to
go
over.
One
of
them
is
our
current
local
ordinances.
Well,
three
are
local
ordinances.
One
applies
to
city
staff
that
we
still
have
locally
mass
required
for
all
people,
regardless
of
vaccination
status
indoors
and
in
large
gatherings,
proof
of
vaccination
status
or
negative
tests
at
bars,
and
restaurants
and
proof
of
vaccination
status
or
negative
coca
tests
for
large
events,
and
the
last
one
is
just
weekly
testing
for
unvaccinated
city
staff.
L
Several
states
across
the
country
are
loosening
their
mass
restrictions
in
various
ways.
New
york,
they've
they've
said
that
their
mass
mandate
will
not
be
renewed,
and
that
was
effective
as
of
today
and
they're,
considering
not
requiring
masks
in
school
settings
I
put
on
here.
Australia
is
opening
their
border
for
the
first
time
since
tovid
began
that
was
written
on
monday
and
since
then
several
other
countries
have
come
out
and
they're
following
suit.
I
know
I
heard
about
israel
today,
not
everybody
is
loosening
their
restrictions.
Some
places
are
keeping
more
conservative
approaches.
L
L
A
I
Yeah
on
the
question
front,
so
I
see
san
francisco
and
los
angeles
not
doing
it
the
state,
the
state.
As
I
understood
it
said-
and
I
know
we,
their
numbers
are
all
messy,
but
they
had
a
60
7
drop
in
new
cases
right.
So
how
do
we
compare
in
new
cases
where
we're
seeing
that's
the
one
metrics
that
seems
to
be
going
up
here?
I
L
Councilmember,
that's
actually
that's
kind
of
a
tough
question,
given
the
1300
cases
that
we
just
got
between
monday
and
tuesday.
I
do
know,
after
having
multiple
conversations
with
public
health
and
their
chief
epidemiologist,
that
the
bulk
of
those
cases
were
from
the
first
two
weeks
of
january,
and
some
of
the
higher
numbers
that
we've
been
seeing
is
a
trickle
effect
of
of
that
backlog.
So
our
numbers
are
decreasing,
but
they're
artificially
high,
but
the
general
consensus
is
we
were
worse
mid-january
and
we
are
doing
better.
G
J
I
L
Yeah,
okay,
so
if
we,
if
we
remove
the
1300
cases
that
were
added,
our
numbers
were
looking,
so
we
had
a
couple
of
weeks
where
we
were
decreasing
from
about
mid
january
and
then
this
week
and
last
week
we
had
an
increase.
However,
what
I've
been
told
is
that
increase
is
artificial,
because
that
was
the
beginning
of
the
backlog
coming
through
got.
I
I
There
was,
and
there
are
obviously
retail
restaurant
hotels,
but
when
we
throughout
the
various
ideas
they're
in
the
staff
report,
like
the
idea
of
having
some
criteria
like
when
we
meet
the
decreasing
cases,
the
state
met
or
something
like
that
mayor
and
I
were
on
the
hospitality
association.
We
also
asked
for
input
with
the
various
options
in
the
staff
report
and
we
heard
from
a
hotel
with
a
local
restaurant
and
retail
one
suggested.
I
I
This
wasn't
a
survey,
it
was
you
know,
but
no
one
had
no
one
suggested
lifting
the
rules
on
the
15th
and
then
a
number
of
I've
heard
from
a
number
of
small
businesses
and
a
restaurant
in
my
district,
who
one
who
is
very
adamant
against
the
rules.
Who's
asked
that
we
at
least
keep
them
through
modernism
week
and
some
are
really
worried
about
losing
employees
and
some
restaurants
had
to
close
recently
due
to
employees
with
kovid
and
that
the
workers
were
unanimous
and
wanting
to
keep
the
rules.
I
D
D
You
know
I've
been
hearing
from
small
businesses
that
are
not
downtown
that
are
concerned
about
the
vaccination,
and
I've
been
hearing
from
the
people
that
I've
been
hearing
from
have
been
wanting
us
to
remove
everything,
but
I
think
the
vaccination
requirements
when
you're
entering
restaurant
restaurants
has
been
the
most
difficult
for
them.
So
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
out
there.
The
other
thing
when
we
did
have
the
county
come
in.
D
They
mentioned
that
the
restaurant,
the
requirement
for
vaccinations
to
enter
restaurant,
wasn't
really
necessarily
going
to
be
a
huge
game
changer
for
us.
I
think
we've
seen
that
in
our
numbers
across
the
valley,
we're
not
seeing
that
palm
springs
is
protected
in
any
different
way
than
the
other.
So,
for
instance,
you
know
indio
has
more
cases,
but
when
you
see
the
declines
or
you
see
the
increases,
the
percentage-wise
it's
about
the
same
as
what
palm
springs
is
dealing
with
and
what
all
the
other
other
coachella
valley
cities
are
doing
right.
D
H
Just
two
questions:
one
is
mayor
pro
tem
garner
referred
to
the
main
street
survey.
I
don't
know
if
staff
has
had
a
chance
to
digest
it.
It
just
came
in,
but
I
think
57
percent
or
something
said
that
they
didn't
want
some
of
the
mass
mandates,
but
maybe
they
can
digest
that
and
let
us
know
but
for
staff.
I'm
just
wondering
what
you
know.
E
I'm
not
sure
who
that
question
is
directed
to
council
member
woods.
I
think
our
emergency
management
management
coordinator
can
weigh
in,
but
I
do
think
that
things
are
getting
a
little
more
confusing
as
we
progress
in
this
pandemic.
You
know,
masks,
I
think,
are
certainly
still
effective,
but
omicron
proved
to
be
so
contagious.
E
That's
one
of
the
reasons
that
some
of
the
cd
guidelines
started
to
recommend
high
quality
masks
and
95
k
and
95,
etc,
because
those
provide
an
extra
measure
of
protection
against
a
viral
load
that
was
frankly,
more
prolific
than
previous
variants.
So
I
haven't
really
kept
up
on
some
of
the
most
recent
literature
and
I
don't
know
that
there
have
been
additional
anecdotal
or
other
studies
performed,
because
omicron
has
been
a
fairly
quick
moving
variants.
So
I
don't
know
that
we've
had
the
benefit
of
exhaustive
study.
E
I
do
know
that
health
departments
are
still
recommending
masks
as
guidelines.
The
cdc
certainly
is,
but
to
what
extent
they
are
equally
effective.
I
think
there's
a
legitimate
question:
there
same
thing
with
vaccinations
where,
for
a
time
it
was
really
thought
to
suppress
the
spread
and
the
transmission
of
the
virus,
but
at
least
anecdotally
locally
within
our
own
organization.
C
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
really
appreciate
all
the
information
and
the
staff
report
and
staff
for
leading
us
through
this
pandemic
as
we
it
continues
to
evolve
and
it's
difficult
for
us
to
make
these
decisions,
especially
where
the
numbers
are
now.
So
I
appreciate
that
we've
been
focused
on
a
science-based
and
data-based
strategy
here
to
keep
our
residents
safe
and,
if
I
can
just
say
I
do
think,
actually
our
requirements
or
our
rules
that
we
have
implemented.
C
If
you
compare
palm
springs
to
palm
desert
or
laquinta
or
other
comparable
cities,
our
numbers
overall
are
much
much
lower.
Even
when
you
compare
to
cities
that
might
have
a
comparable
number
to
workers.
But
I
appreciate
mayor
pro
tem
garner's
points
about
the
surges.
The
surges
are
difficult
to
stop
they're
happening
everywhere,
but
I
do
I'm
not
a
social
scientist,
but
I
think
that
our
our
rules
in
place
to
protect
people
are
working.
C
Sorry,
I'm
having
a
hard
time
emotionally
recovering
from
what
happened
earlier
in
council
member
comments,
so
just
to
say
that
out
loud,
I'm
a
little
flustered.
So
my
request
I
want
to
see
where
council
is,
is
delegating
to
the
city
manager
to
remove
the
restrictions
when
the
data
demands
it
when
we
see
a
reduction
in
cases
which
we
expect
to
happen,
hopefully
in
the
next
two
weeks
here
or
so,
but
really
give
some
metrics
to
the
city
manager.
C
So
I
am
open
to
hearing
what
council
wants
to
do,
but
I
would
request
that
we
consider
delegating
authority
to
the
city,
manager
and
staff
to
remove
the
rules
when
the
data
demands
it
or
you
know,
when
case
loads
have
gone
down
for
two
weeks
consecutively
or
some
metric
like
that.
That
staff
can
define.
I
Yeah,
I
think
that
makes
sense.
I
think
you
know
in
consultation
right
with
our
emergency
manager
and
talking
to
the
public
health
agencies.
You
know
I
good
with
giving
delegating
that
to
the
city
manager,
I'm
just
looking
at
the
main
street
thing,
since
we
got
that
just
as
the
meeting
started
and
it
was
51
to
44
to
keep
the
mask
requirement,
but
the
57
did
not
want
to
keep
the
proof
of
vaccination
or
negative
tests
in
a
restaurant.
So
it's
split.
I
But
again
I
think
the
point
you
made
mr
pro
tem
is:
this
is
one
court.
This
is
like
the
downtown
core
and
we
don't
know
if
that's
sort
of
the
thought
everywhere,
but
I
think
delegating
that
to
the
city
manager,
one
you
know
once
the
metrics
start
to
go
in
the
right
direction
and
that
could
be
a
week
next
week
right
once
we
now
that
that
data
dumps
in
as
it
gets
thrown
out,
I
think,
makes
sense.
I
I
think
we
all
want
these
to
be
over
like
months
ago,
and
you
know
it'd
be
really
nice
and
two
weeks
to
be
meeting
in
person.
So
but
I'd
like
to
you
know,
have
the
city
manager
do
that
and
if
you
know
at
his
discretion
you
could
sign
out
a
broader
survey.
You
know
one
through
residents
and
one
to
businesses
if
we
have
that
ability
to
get
some
broad,
if
you
want
the
broader
impact
to
make
an
informed
decision.
A
L
A
All
right,
thank
you,
mr
clifton.
As
I
followed
the
the
lead
that
I
think
my
colleagues
are
heading
towards,
we
would
be
delegating
to
you
authority
to
make
a
determination
as
to
when
to
remove
the
palm
springs,
specific
restrictions,
and
it
sounds
like
it
would
be
something
along
the
lines
of
when
we
are
by
data
driven
information
reasonably
consistent
with
where
the
state
of
california
is
in
terms
of
exposures.
E
Thank
you
very
much
mayor.
I
am
comfortable
with
that
kind
of
delegation.
What
I
would
ask,
though,
is
that
council
have
any
more
conversation
it
may
want
to.
Regarding
those
metrics
and
the
criteria,
I
heard
reference
to
a
couple
consecutive
weeks
of
declining
numbers.
We
can
also
extrapolate
a
rate
for
100,
000
and
and
look
at
kind
of
where
the
state
is
now
and
apply
that
kind
of
a
measure
to
palm
springs.
E
I
think
we
would
probably
also
conduct
one
additional
outreach
survey
to
let
residents
and
business
community
weigh
in,
but
if
there
are
other
thoughts
on
the
appropriate
criteria,
it
would
help
to
hear
those
so
that,
as
we
establish
those
and
apply
them
we're
most
likely
to
reflect
the
will
of
council.
Okay,
if.
A
A
I
also
think
it
would
be
appropriate
to
give
people
reasonable
notice
as
to
when
we're
going
to
make
change
and
taking
and
doing
so
with
only
a
day
or
some
day's
notice.
I
don't
think,
is
quite
fair
and
adequate.
What
one
of
the
things
that
we're
seeing
from
the
informal
polling
that's
gone
on
and
certainly
is
reflective
of
the
emails
and
phone
calls
I've
received.
The
city
is
incredibly
divided
on
this
issue
between
individuals,
who
are
anxious
to
remove
all
controls
immediately
in
those
who
are
extremely
nervous.
D
Thank
you
in
terms
of
metrics,
and
things
like
that.
I
think
a
big
thing
for
me
is
just
working
with
the
county
health
department
right
to
find
out
what
it
is
that
they're,
recommending
and
and
what
the
best
practices
are,
which
is
why
I
reference
back
to
the
conversation
that
we
had
with
the
county
health
about
the
vaccination
requirement.
I
think
that
kind
of
information
on
what
whether
or
not
our
restrictions
are
effective
is
really
an
important
part
of
it,
because,
obviously,
if
it's
effective,
I
want
everyone
to
be
safe.
D
H
You
know,
I'm
not
a
health
expert,
that's
why
I
asked
the
question
earlier
and
I'd
hate
to
either
impose
something
onto
somebody
that
that's
not
effective
or
remove
something
that
could
put
them
in
danger.
So
I'm
with
my
colleagues-
and
I
would
like
it
to
be
science
based
on
whatever
decision
we
make
on
this,
because
I
think
the
mayor's
correct.
I
Just
two
related
notes:
when
we
do
just
from
a
number
of
businesses
I
heard
from
when
we
do
change
whatever
our
rules
are
even
if
it's
to
conform
to
the
state
that
we
get
some
new
signs
you
know
for
for
businesses.
They
just
ask
that
we
keep
that
on
the
list,
and
I
heard
from
several
that
were
really
concerned
that
they
read
the
state's
rule.
That
says
you
can
be
unmasked
inside
of
business.
I
Only
if
you're
vaccinated
to
mean
that
they're
gonna
have
to
check
vaccines
of
people
going
to
businesses,
and
while
I,
the
state
rule,
makes
no
sense
to
me
because
there's
no
way
right,
small
retail
is
gonna,
be
able
to
you
know
you
don't
check
in
you.
Don't
do
anything
like
that
if
we
heard
anything
from
the
state
that
they
expect
anyone
to
actually
check
in
a
business
or
just
that's
what
they're
recommending
people
do,
because
businesses
have
asked
me
that.
A
L
Thank
you
councilmember
for
the
question,
so
really
what
we're
hearing
from
the
state
is
it
it's
going
to
be
based
on
integrity?
If
you
say
that
you're
vaccinated
the
business
is
supposed
to
assume
that
you
are,
they
understand
the
challenge
of
trying
to
enforce
verification
of
vaccination
status.
So
it's
it's
going
to
be
a
matter
of
trust.
I
A
A
I
Yeah
I
was
gonna
suggest.
I
think
I
think
it
was
new
cases,
a
decline
in
new
cases,
but
I
think
we
don't
want
to.
I
don't
think
we
want
to
give
the
city
manager
the
specifics.
I
think
it's
just
the
first
part
of
the
motion
right
using
like
scientific
data
to
make
the
decision.
So
if
we
see
next
week,
it
drops
in
half
because
it
was
just
this
ex
the
state
dumping.
Everything
in
then,
maybe
that's
the
right
time.
I
A
I
would
like
to
offer
necessary
one
amendment
that
the
city
manager
be
able
to
phase
in
these
removal
as
he
sees
appropriate.
So
if,
as
an
example,
he
felt
that
it
was
appropriate
to
reopen
city
hall
in
advance
of
removing
a
restriction
related
to
masks
or
something
else
that
he
would
be
able
to
do
so.
D
A
B
A
G
G
After
january
24th
meeting
with
the
council
members,
I
suggested
that
I
come
speak
to
the
entire
council
and
I
always
follow
through
on
my
word,
although
I
was
originally
scheduled
to
speak
tonight
as
part
of
the
agenda.
Our
item
on
the
palm
springs
campus
was
pulled
by
the
city
this
morning,
giving
this
significant
public
interest
in
this
project.
I
was
disappointed
to
hear
that
the
city
council,
my
presentation
as
a
board
chair
of
representing
the
college,
our
board
president,
dr
marcia,
also
began
to
participate.
G
So
while
I'm
here,
I
want
to
reiterate
the
fact
that
I
that
I
myself
and
the
board
are
committed
to
making
this
project
happen.
You
have
my
word.
The
palm
springs
city
council
have
been
excellent
partners
on
this
project
dating
back
to
2010
with
their
original
donation
of
land.
We
want
to
work
with
you
to
get
this
project
done.
I
mean
who
really
wouldn't
want
to
make
this
happen.
G
G
A
A
A
Thank
you,
everyone.
It
is
now
7
p.m,
and
we
are
701
p.m
and
we
have
met
our
burden
of
beginning
item
2
a
after
7
p.m.
So,
with
that,
I
reconvene
the
regular
palm
springs
city
council
meeting.
Our
next
item
is
2a,
a
public
hearing
regarding
redistricting
of
city
council
boundaries.
Mr
marie,
I
believe
you're
going
to
begin
the
staff
report
very.
B
M
M
The
city
as
part
of
the
redistricting
process,
did
look
at
its
current
electoral
district
maps,
which
it
adopted
back
in
2018
under
the
california
voting
rights
act.
The
result
of
that
analysis
was
that
the
city
had
a
higher
deviation
than
the
court's
of
bless.
The
courts
typically
rule
that
a
10
or
smaller
deviation,
meaning
your
most
heavily
populated
district
and
your
most
lightly
populated
district
have
less
than
a
10
percent
population
spread
between
them.
M
As
part
of
the
redistricting
process,
we
are
required
to
have
a
minimum
of
four
notice
public
hearings,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
this
is
the
third
in
that
series.
The
city
has
also
conducted
a
number
of
workshops,
with
the
public
to
solicit
input
as
to
how
these
districts
boundaries
should
be
adjusted.
M
M
With
the
council's
input,
we
ended
up
with
map
options,
d
and
e.
Now
these
were
staff
generated
options
that
were
slated
to
go
to
a
third
public
hearing
that
we
were
going
to
have
last
month.
However,
before
that
hearing
we
had
discussions
with
staff
and
the
conclusion
was
that
map
options
d
and
e,
while
they
population
balanced
the
districts
and
got
that
deviation
below
10
percent.
M
M
Rather,
what
we
did
was
we
asked
the
staff
to
go
back
to
the
drawing
board
with
map
c
and
see
whether
they
could
be
made
simpler,
see
whether
you
know
just
less
going
on
and
also
respect
the
input
we
had
received
from
the
council
as
well
as
from
the
public
and
what
you
see
in
the
staff
report,
and
I
apologize.
This
is
going
a
little
out
of
sequence.
M
It's
just
sort
of
the
nature
of
how
this
rolled
out
map
option
j
in
the
staff
report
is
the
recent
map
produced
by
our
demographer,
and
that
is
the
attempt
to
incorporate
not
only
what
we
heard
from
the
council
with
regard
to
map
option
c,
but
also
to
incorporate
a
good
deal
of
public
comment
that
we
received
when
we
received
publicly
submitted
match
and
the
reason
I
had
mentioned.
Some
of
the
maps
out
of
sequence
is
maps
a
through
e
were
ones
that
staffed
the
demographer
generated.
M
M
A
A
As
you
know,
when
we
went
through
the
redistricting
process
in
the
last
time,
which
was
2018,
if
I
remember
correctly,
there
was
a
number
of
criteria
that
was
established
by
the
city.
We
repeated
that
criteria
again
in
this
year
does
map
option
j
conform
to
all
of
the
criteria.
That's
been
established
by
the
city
of
palm
springs,
as
well
as
with
state
and
federal
law.
M
B
M
B
M
I
mean:
am
I
my
seniors?
Yes,
yeah,
I'm
seeing
those
okay.
So
currently
you
have
your
highest
district.
The
the
population
that
is
the
most
over
perfect
equality
is
district
3.
you're
about
7.59
over.
You
have
680
people.
If
you
look
at
that
prior
column,
that
may
be
easier
to
do
it
than
just
percentages.
You
have
more
people
than
perfect
equality
in
that
district.
M
When
you
divide
up
the
total
population
by
five
districts,
and
then
your
lowest
low
is
district,
one
which
is
under
by
just
slightly
over
400
people,
so
basically
in
a
nutshell,
district
3
has
too
many
people.
District
1
has
too
few
people
and
redistricting
rebalances
that
population,
so
that
that
deviation
is
below
the
deviation.
In
this
case
you
basically
take
the
7.59
percent,
and
then
you
add
it.
M
A
H
H
M
M
Let's
see
this
moving
the
sun
moore
neighborhood
out
of
district
three.
Now
this
map
does
a
little
different
than
the
then
what
map
f
mr
freeman,
had
suggested
he
had
suggested
moving
from
district
three
to
two.
This
moves
it
from
three
to
one,
because
one
is
you
know
more
under
it's
weird
the
way
the
statistics
work-
and
you
know,
district
three
has
has
the
most
population
to
to
move
to
another
district
sun,
the
dhe
health
campus
at
sunrise,
instituto,
moving
from
district
3
to
district
2..
M
They
they
weren't
always
directly
incorporated,
but
they
were
ideas
that
were
considered
as
a
part
of
map
option
j,
and
you
know
again,
there
were
some
comments
that
were
incorporated
some
that
weren't
I
mean
I,
I
can't
quite
get
through
all
of
those
right
now,
but
I
can
take
you
through
the
map.
If
that
will
help.
M
Okay,
mr
michael,
if
you
could
overlay
the
existing
with
option
j,
so
we
can
see
the
areas
that
change
there.
That's
how
it
is
right.
Now:
okay,
it
is
great
they're.
You
know,
as
I'd
indicated
earlier,
you
know.
One
of
the
features
of
map
option
j
is
that
it
is
simpler
than
some
of
the
prior
options.
There's
just
a
lot
less
moving
and
what
things
do
move
in
here.
Many
of
them
are
non-substantive.
M
You
know
we're
moving
a
line
just
to
conform
better
to
the
naturally
artificial
boundary
in
place
there,
but
it's
not
moving
any
people
or
it's
moving
just
a
handful
of
people,
but
the
areas
that
significantly
move
people
or
areas.
One
of
mr
mayhe
has
already
identified
the
first
one
in
the
amico
avenue
or
mikko
street
neighborhood.
M
B
Mr
priest,
if
I
could
note,
I
believe
this
was
a
comment
from
councilmember
garner
in
which
she
was
requesting
that
all
of
the
residents
of
gene
autry
be
into
one
neighborhood
or
I'm
sorry,
one
district,
and
so
if
we
were
to
take
the
amigo
street
area
and
put
that
into
district
two,
it
would
join
the
other
residences
of
district.
Two,
I'm
sorry
of
chinatree,
although
gene
autry
does
extend
more
north,
those
are
are
not
populated
areas.
M
The
comment
coming
from
the
council-
I
couldn't
remember
which
council
member,
so
thank
you
for
reminding
me
and
there
was
a
council
member
garner.
If
we
move
to
so
there's
that
one,
then
we
oh
okay,
you've
moved
down
to
sun
more
okay,
we
can
do
that.
The
sun
war
area
would
be
moving
from
district
three
to
district
one
and
that
moves
about.
M
M
However,
staff
may
have
more
to
say
about
this,
mr
mejia,
about
the
idea
of
moving
that
area
actually
to
district
one.
It
would
require
splitting
the
census
block
in
that
area,
but
it's
a
very
small
split
that
whole
area
contains
three
houses.
We
would
estimate
a
population
of
more
no
more
than
9
or
10
going
with
average
population
figures,
so
moving
that
to
district
1.
You
would
not.
You
know,
change
the
statistics
all
that
much.
M
B
Correct
and
I'll
just
note
so
so
staff
is
acknowledging
that
this
is
not
a
clean
line
and
doesn't
incorporate
those
through
resonances
that
are
within
sun
moore
when
we
bring
that
back.
The
final
map
would
be
our
intention
to
go
ahead
and
split
the
census
block
so
that
those
residences
below
andreas
road
will
be
in
district.
M
That
is
another
area
that
would
shift,
and
I
I
can't
remember
whether
I
think
this
was
in
part,
a
public
comment,
and
I
think
this
may
have
also
come
from
from
one
of
you
on
the
council
as
well.
If
you
look
at
there,
it
basically
takes
the
dap
campus
sunrise
vista
area
and
moves
that
to
district
two,
and
so
it
basically
cuts
off
that
corner
right
there
at
sunrise
way
in
east
vista
chino.
M
B
B
Crossley
pulled
up
we're
we're
going
to
ensure
that
all
of
the
lawrence
crossley
neighborhood
is
within
district
1,
where
it
was
previously
split
between
those
homes
that
are
on
the
exterior
side
versus
the
interior
side
of
lawrence
crossley
will
ensure
that
the
entire
neighborhood
is
in
district.
One.
M
B
M
M
M
Where
is
it
below
the
pop
below
dumuth
park,
the
boundary
of
district
one
and
four
you'll
see
there
are
some
areas
that
shift
there
and
then
also,
if
you
go
north
to
the
area,
sticking
out
there
to
the
east
in
district
four.
Yes,
that
area
those
are
just
meant
to.
You
know
clean
up
the
lines
and
the
blocks
a
bit.
M
M
M
However,
again
that
moves
a
negligible
population,
I
believe
the
census
number
is
about
five
people
in
that
entire
territory.
So
again,
while
it's
geographically
large
population
wise,
it
doesn't
shift
much
and
you'll
see,
there's
that
line
just
north
of
the
aerial
tramway,
that's
just
sort
of
rounded
off.
Instead
of
that
squared
off
corner.
M
B
M
B
I
would
just
note
that
we've
received
comments
that
it
would
be
more
appropriate
for
this
area,
this
mountain
area
to
be
part
of
a
district
3,
since
it's
really
kind
of
the
backyard
of
district
three,
and
so,
unless
doubt
or
council
objects,
it
would
be
staff's
intention
to
go
ahead
and
move
this
area
as
part
of
district.
Three.
M
M
District
3
still
is
is
your
highest
populated
district
with
at
527
people
over
district
2
becomes
your
least
populated
district
at
333
people
under
and
so
again,
you'll
see.
The
deviation
is
at
9.6,
as
I've
indicated.
You
know,
shifting
that
large
piece
west
of
district
3
or
keeping
it
in
district
3,
I
don't
think,
is
going
to
shift
these
numbers
to
a
much
higher
deviation.
M
Five
population
won't
do
it,
but
I
would
note
any
other
significant
shifts
of
population
into
district
three
or
out
of
district
two,
because
again
they
are
the
two
outliers,
the
two,
with
the
biggest
spread,
any
more
people
in
the
district,
three
or
less
people
in
district
two
risks
pushing
that
deviation
beyond
ten
percent
and
as
mr
mejia
noted
earlier,
if
you
take
a
look
at
district
one
and
you
just
start
going
across
the
row,
you'll
see
the
raw
population.
The
percent
deviation
population,
total
non-white,
64.31.
M
This
is
the
only
map
option
that
staff
has
prepared
so
far.
That
brings
that
number
to
that
hot
brings
that
number
that
high
the
other
options
so
far
either
do
something
lower
than
that
or
they
or
they
don't
achieve
beyond.
You
know:
50
percent
non-white
seabout.
They
may
be
high
above
50
in
just
voting
age,
population
or
total,
but
not
in
the
citizen
voting
age
population,
as
the
council
knows
that
that's
really
a
key
population,
because
that
those
are
your
voters,
and
so
with
that
that
is
map
option
j.
M
A
A
G
G
However,
I
recognize
that
another
important
objective
is
to
reduce
deviations
from
the
existing
council
districts
that
were
the
product
of
extensive
public
comments,
including
from
me.
While
I
continue
to
offer
map
f
for
your
for
your
review
for
the
reasons
noted
in
the
staff
report,
I
would
support
map
jay
with
several
adjustments,
also
noted
in
the
staff
report
that
are
consistent
with
the
current
council
boundaries
and,
in
fact,
have
just
been
discussed.
G
This
evening,
first,
the
three
houses
on
the
east
side
of
airline
drive
as
it
curves
north
from
andreas
road,
should
be
moved
from
district
4
to
district
1
to
be
with
the
rest
of
the
sun,
moore
neighborhood.
Second,
the
area
around
the
d.a.p
health
campus
at
sunrise
in
this
dicino
in
the
rogers
ranch
neighborhood,
should
be
moved
from
district
3
to
district
2.
and
finally,
is
also
just
noted.
The
mountain
area
west
of
vista,
los
palmas
and
north
of
vallejo
road
should
be
moved
from
district
5
to
district
3.
B
A
D
D
D
The
the
arnico
area,
though
that
was
in
district
1,
is
a
largely
latino
neighborhood
low
to
moderate
income,
so
it
kind
of
fit
well
within
district
one,
but
I
think
there
was
also
comments
prior
to
keep
the
just
keep
the
neighborhood
group
whole,
which
is
why
I
had
suggested
to
just
include
all
of
gina
trey
neighborhood
within
district
one.
So
I
would
be
interested
if
it's
possible
to
get
the
numbers
if
we
were
to
do
that.
M
M
So
if
you
were
to
move
more
to
district
two
that
might
require
moving
more
from
district
three-
and
you
know
with
the
map
drawing
sometimes
you
can
get
that
cascade
effect
a
little
bit
there,
but
we
can
certainly
look
into
that
and
see
whether
we
can
create
a
population
balanced
option
that
keeps
all
of
gene
autry
in
district.
One.
M
I
Sure
I
just
want
to
note
that
las
palmas
neighborhood
organization,
their
line,
has
changed
to
chocolates
west
of
palm
canyon.
I
know
that
adds
79
people,
which
you
can't
so,
but
I
did
want
to
note
that
and
make
sure
before
we
vote
on
final
map.
You
know
we
send
that
to
them.
31
are
in
sort
of
the
downtown
project
and
the
rest
are,
I
think,
must
be
above
businesses
because
I
walked.
I
I
walked
it
and
found
out,
at
least
on
the
grip
properties,
but
so
those
are
those
are
new,
since
you
know
people
living
there,
some
of
them,
but
that
would
throw
the
numbers
off.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
we,
the
city,
does
the
outreach
and
I'll
do
the
outreach
as
well
before
we
bring
these
back
since
we'll
be
splitting
that
neighborhood
organization
for
just
a
small
group
of
people,
but
they
weren't
in
it
until
recently.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
they
they're
notified.
A
I
want
to
congratulate
mr
mejia,
mr
priest,
everybody
in
the
public.
We
spent
a
tremendous
amount
of
time
and
energy
three
years
ago
with
map
making
and
I
think
the
benefits
of
all
the
work
that
we
did
then
has
has
clearly
paid
off.
We
are
able
to
produce
a
really
efficient
map
that
makes
very
minimal
changes
from
what
we
did.
The
public
has
gotten
used
to
these
these
maps
and
anyone
else.
B
I
A
H
I
would
agree:
rogers
ranch
has
a
great
relationship
with
dap.
They
work
really
well
together.
So
far,
so
I
think
that's
good.
You
know.
Gene
autry
has
also
expressed
that
they
don't
want
to
be
split.
They've
called
me
several
times
about
that,
so
I
think
map
j
fits
both
of
those
things
and
matt
j
also
for
the
upper
west
side
seems
to
fit
what
they
were
wanting
as
well.
A
B
D
C
Just
for
the
record,
if
I
can,
since
the
public
hearing,
I
just
want
to
note
that
I
spoke
to
the
city
clerk
about
the
maps
and
asked
him
all
my
questions
about.
I
asked
about
smoke
tree.
I
asked
about
chocolates
and
farrell
and
the
districts
and
neighborhoods
around
that
area
and
a
few
other
issues.
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
I
asked
those
questions
ahead
of
the
meeting
great.

But
per
section
8.05
of
the
municipal
code,
the
city
can
initiate
designation.
These
particular
structures
were
identified
by
the
historic
site
preservation
board
as
part
of
their
work
plan
a
couple
of
years
ago.
Typically,
the
historic
site
preservation
board
identifies
structures
that
are
worthy
of
designation
and
as
part
of
staff's
work
plan.
We
then
proceed
with
doing
the
research
on
such
properties,
as
this
has
been
initiated
by
the
city.
We
have
notified
the
property
owners
of
the
structures.
On
several
occasions.
K
K
We've
requested
information
from
the
historic
organization
here
in
town
and
there's
a
couple
of
stories
in
terms
of
how
that
might
have
originated,
but
in
terms
of
its
qualifications
for
designation,
it
does
meet
criterion
number
three
and
number
four
for
designation
relative
to
the
time
period
and
the
method
of
construction
and
also
retain
sufficient
integrity
for
class.
One
designation,
even
though
it
has
had
a
number
of
additions
to
it.
You
can
still
easily
tell
the
original
portion
of
the
structure
that
was
constructed
in
1926.
K
K
K
The
structure
at
2540
is
the
best
maintained
of
all
of
the
structures.
Two
of
the
structures
are
uninhabited.
You
will
note
that
there
is
some
deterioration,
however,
as
stone
structures,
though
they
still
retain
sufficient
integrity
for
class.
One
designation,
and
so
we
just
wanted
to
make
that
known-
that,
despite
the
fact
that
they
are
not
inhabited-
and
there
is
some
deterioration,
the
stone
portion
of
the
structure
remains
intact,
and
so
it
still
has
the
character
as
when
originally
constructed
the
historic
site
preservation
board.
In
their
consideration.
K
Of
these
six
structures
found
that
all
buildings
meet
the
necessary
criteria
for
designation.
They
did
review
the
deterioration
of
some
of
the
hopi
village
buildings,
but
found
that
they
still
merit
class
1
designation
at
that
hearing.
One
of
the
property
owners,
the
owner
of
2540
south
arabi,
objected
to
the
designation
at
the
public
hearing.
You
also
have
information
in
your
background
materials
of
a
packet
of
information
that
the
property
owner
has
submitted
for
your
review.
K
K
Despite
that
objection,
the
historic
site
preservation
board
voted
to
recommend
approval
of
all
buildings
as
class
1
or
landmark
structures,
and
so
that
is
the
recommendation
that
you
have
before
you
this
evening
with
that.
Madam
mayor.
That
concludes
my
presentation.
As
the
city
is
the
applicant,
we
are
the
ones
who
would
respond
to
any
questions.
We've
made
our
presentation,
however,
any
property
owners
that
may
wish
to
speak
should
be
given
some
additional
time
in
order
to
identify
either
their
support
or
objection
to
these
designations.
I
I
K
K
I
K
K
What
designation
does
in
terms
of
telling
the
story
of
palm
springs
and
looking
at
these
particular
structures?
These
are
all
early
structures
that
were
constructed
in
the
arabic,
cove
neighborhood
right
after
the
subdivision
was
approved,
and
so
they
very
much
are
a
part
of
that
particular
neighborhood
and
do
tell
that
story.
K
So,
with
historic,
designation
at
the
local
level,
any
significant
modifications
to
the
structure
would
need
to
receive
approval
from
the
historic
site
preservation
board.
So
there
is
that
additional
step
in
a
process
if
the
property
owner
were
to
significantly
modify
or
expand
the
structure
in
terms
of
maintenance,
I
will
commend
the
property
owner.
A
K
With
the
recent
changes
to
our
historic
preservation,
ordinance
back
in
2018,
we
added
two
additional
classes:
class,
three
and
class
four,
this
particular
structure,
if
not
designated,
would
be
a
class
three
structure
which
still
does
have
some
protections
in
place,
requiring
either
review
by
the
historic
preservation
officer
or
the
historic
site
preservation
board.
If
significant
modifications
are
made.
So
yes,
there
still
would
be
some
hurdles,
some
review
process
that
would
be
necessary
as
a
class
three
structure,
but
not
to
the
degree
as
a
class
one
or
class
two.
F
H
K
H
K
A
B
G
Okay,
hello,
I'm
concerned,
because
no
one,
including
the
city
attorney
the
city
manager,
the
city
council,
cares
about
the
safety
and
welfare
of
myself,
my
family,
my
former
tenants,
my
neighbors
and
friends,
my
family
and
I
have
been
discriminated
against
and
denied
the
peaceful
and
quiet
enjoyment
of
our
home,
the
city
of
palm
springs
and
the
actions
of
the
uphill
neighbor,
supported
by
code
enforcement
to
intentionally
damage
me
and
my
family.
Quiet
enjoyment
is
the
right
of
a
property
owner
to
enjoy
his
of
her
property
without
interference.
G
G
I
do
not
want
to
be
designated
2540
south
araby
at
this
time.
It
doesn't
benefit
me.
You
need
those
other
structures
because
they
need
to
be
saved.
You
do
not
need
to
save
mine,
I
am
deed
restricted
and
I
will
become
historic
when
I
am
ready
to
become
historic.
I
am
not
built
out,
like
those
other
two
properties
who
are
given
a
favor
in
this
situation.
G
Two
have
the
city
building
and
safety
called
riverside
county
environmental
health
to
verify
working
septic
systems
at
both
my
home
and
the
neighbor
home,
which
is
10
feet
away,
and
my
tenant
moved
out
due
to
the
smell
three
reissue,
the
courtesy
notice,
which
is
exhibit
b
for
access
of
city
services,
trash
police
and
fire
to
not
only
my
residence
to
the
17.5
acres
of
araby
preserve
accessed.
Only
through
my
property,
I
am
unable
to
rent
the
historic
rock
house
due
to
the
city
in
actions
about
the
access
road,
which
is
not
a
dispute
between
neighbors.
G
She
made
sure
we
had
to
use
the
levy
road
because
she
had
problems
with
levy
the
owners
before
that
had
problems
with
levy
and
there's
an
injunction
against
him
doing
things
to
that
access
road,
which
the
city
attorney
tells
me.
I
gotta
call
the
sheriff.
Now
I
don't
believe
that's
true.
The
city
of
palm
springs
has
damaged
us
and,
in
addition,
in
good
conscience,
I
cannot
expose
a
tenant
to
unsanitary
conditions
at
the
neighboring
property
2550
south
araby
occupied
full-time
by
the
owner.
G
I've
been
asking
the
city
manager
and
city
council
in
writing,
and
verbally
since
2014
to
do
the
right
thing.
All
I
ask
for
the
city
is
to
use
their
memorandum
of
understanding
to
have
riverside
county
environmental
health
come
from
looking
septic,
as
there
is
no
sewer
to
the
properties,
2540
2550
and
the
hopi
homes.
I
again
ask
the
city
council
to
do
the
right
thing
and
not
have
2540
south
arab
historic
one
designation
at
this
time.
I
would
appreciate
you
taking
the
other
three
properties.
A
F
F
The
second
issue
is
a
code
complaint
that
she
has
launched
with
regard
to
the
neighboring
property,
which
I
have
indicated
to
misrep
the
city
code
department,
as
well
as
fire
department,
will
be
responding
to
with
regard
to
the
applicability
of
those
two
issues
to
the
application
that
is
before
you
tonight.
I
don't
see
any
particular
legal
relevance
to
the
application
with
regard
to
those
issues
and,
as
I've
indicated,
certainly
the
one
that
the
city
is
involved
in
the
code
enforcement
issue.
F
A
K
I
K
H
On
the
roundhouse
is
under
protest
by
the
applicant,
can
I
don't
know
how
big
that
lot
is,
but
can
they
still
build
out
like
if
they
wanted
to
build
another
home
or
something
on
that
property?
Is
that
still
available?
This
doesn't
preclude
them.
From
doing
that,
I
think
I
heard
her
say
something
like
this:
that
correct.
C
Thank
you.
Sorry.
Can
you
describe
so
I'm
concerned
about
the
app
the
public
testimony
we
heard
from
the
neighbor,
and
so
I've
just
for
the
record
have
spoken
to
her
at
a
community
meeting
and
then
asked
staff
to
follow
up
with
her
on
those
issues
that
she
raised.
That
was
quite
many
months
ago,
and
then
I
had
lauren
my
legal
fellow
reach
out
to
her
in
advance
of
this
hearing
to
ask
her
the
status
of
her
issues
that
she
raised
in
the
hearing.
So
just
first
step.
C
So
I
understand
that
it's
not
technically
related
to
this
designation,
but
is
there
any
more
commitment
we
can
make
about
any
of
her
questions
or
requests
of
the
city
or
what
would
or
could
you
elaborate
for
her
what
her
next
steps
would
be?
Since
I
know
she's
been
involved
in
this
for
a
long
time,
many
many
years.
F
The
next
step
really
would
be
to
coordinate
an
inspection
by
the
code
officer
as
well
as
the
fire
department.
The
potential
fire
access
issue
is
a
fire
department
issue.
We've
heard
from
the
police
personnel
that
they
don't
believe
it's
a
fire
issue,
but
just
to
be
sure
we're
going
to
send
them
out
there
again.
A
So
I'm
I'm
struggling
notwithstanding
the
objection
of
the
homeowner
as
to
what
criteria
we
would
use
other
than
that
she
does
not
want
us
to
do
so
to
to
not
move
forward
with
the
historic
designation-
and
I
hope
my
freshman
english
teacher
did
not
hear
that
sentence
because
of
it
wasn't
structured
very
well.
But
hopefully
you
got
the.
I
got
the
point
across.
I
F
C
B
A
E
I
will
note
that,
as
of
right
now,
are
you
seeing
the
tentative
agenda?
We
are
okay.
Thank
you.
Please
note
a
couple
of
things.
One
is
that
we
have
a
study
session,
the
first,
at
least
in
recent
history
february
22nd,
where
we
intend
to
cover
some
of
the
remaining
work
to
update
strategic
priorities,
work
plans
associated
with
those
and
process
improvement,
related
work.
We
have
the
next
couple
regular
meetings
after
that
identified
february,
24th
and
march
10th,
you'll
notice.
Those
are
fairly
light
agendas.
E
However,
we
are
aware
of
a
handful
of
things,
including
the
potential
rescheduling
of
the
cod
presentation
meeting
that
could
potentially
be
on
one
of
those
dates.
So
I'm
not
concerned
at
this
point
that
we
won't
find
good
work
to
do
during
those
meetings
to
to
have
kind
of
our
regular
length
meeting
aiming
for
something
around
10
pm.
E
So
the
rules
of
procedure
contain
a
handful
of
things,
including
the
order
of
the
agenda,
and
when
we
presented
the
first
round
of
strategic
priorities
and
process
improvement,
I
sought
direction
from
council
to
go
ahead
and
cue.
Some
of
those
things
up
that
we
discussed
in
our
visioning
sessions,
including
reordering
the
agenda,
to
create
some
efficiencies
with
council
meeting
flow.
So
we
intend
to
present
those
for
your
consideration.
A
E
I
think
we
all
appreciate
that
there
is
an
extended
commitment
to
have
the
conversation
and
appreciate
that
chair.
The
cod
trustees
reuben
perez
came
to
tell
us
that
you
know
about
that
renewed
commitment,
although
I
did
pick
up
perhaps
a
hint
of
frustration
or
friction
that
we
rescheduled
the
meeting.
So
I
just
want
to
emphasize
to
to
all
concerned
that
we
really
did
try
to
coordinate
this
closely.
E
I
think
we
were
under
the
impression
that
there
would
be
a
meeting
as
far
back
as
january
24th.
I
do
think
there
may
have
been
some
differences
in
understanding
and
how
that
would
happen.
You
know
we
conduct
our
agencies
slightly
differently.
I
know
that
we
certainly
focus
heavily
on
engagement
and
transparency.
We
promote
our
meetings
in
stakeholder
groups,
so
we
really
made
sure
that
we
had
the
details
of
this
meeting
down.
E
So
I
did
have
a
couple
of
exchanges
where
we
were
concerned
a
little
bit
about
the
time,
but
in
those
emails,
as
you
can
see,
if
you
want
to
see
them,
we
really
made
a
concerted
effort
to
reorder
the
agenda
to
play,
something
that
was
at
the
very
back
at
the
very
front.
And
frankly,
even
without
the
issue
of
our
public
hearing
that
was
scheduled
at
7
00
pm.
E
So
if
we
call
that
at
5
40
and
we
go
to
6
40,
we
present
for
20
minutes,
there
would
have
been
15
minutes
for
questions
and
answers.
So
it
wasn't.
It
wasn't
meant
to
dismiss
that
the
chair
was
here
to
present,
but
it
was
to
emphasize
that
we
thought
it
was
important
to
have
robust
question
and
answer
to
have
a
full
discussion,
and
so
we
didn't
make
the
decision
unilaterally.
E
I
sent
an
email
in
the
morning
placed
a
total
of
five
calls
today
to
the
college
of
the
desert
executive
office
to
make
sure
that
they
had
an
opportunity
to
respond
to
what
I
described
as
a
proposal
to
postpone
the
meeting.
We
wrote
a
press
release
and
refrained
from
issuing
it
until
5
30
this
evening,
because
I
didn't
want
to
make
that
call
unilaterally.
E
We
wanted
to
make
it
in
conjunction
with
our
partners
at
the
college
of
the
desert,
I'm
sorry
that
we
weren't
able
to
reach
them
and
and
given
busy
schedules
we
weren't
able
to
coordinate
more
closely,
but
it
was
not
an
attempt
to
you
know,
do
something
tricky
we
want
to
have
this
conversation,
it's
not
trivial
that
we
have.
Everybody
present.
We've
heard
over
the
course
of
the
last
number
of
meetings,
sometimes
consistent,
sometimes
conflicting
information
on
who's,
making
key
decisions.
E
As
one
quick
example
with
the
roadrunner
motors,
I
was
told
at
one
point:
it
might
have
been
board
input,
but
then
later
I
think
we
heard
that
it
was
strictly
the
superintendent
and
president's
decision.
So
I
thought
it
was
really
important
that
we
had
everybody
here
to
answer
questions
and
make
sure
it
was
a
thorough
conversation.
E
So
again
I
apologize
if
there
was
some
friction
there
and
doing
what
we
thought
was
best
to
have
a
complete
conversation,
but
wanted
to
know,
as
we
reschedule
it,
that
that
was
really
the
only
reason
that
we
took
that
tactic.
We
tried
to
coordinate
it's
difficult
with
our
schedules
at
the
last
minute.
We
only
learned
of
the
conflict
for
dr
garcia
yesterday
after
4
pm
did
our
best
to
respond.
E
A
A
If
I
don't
see
any
other
hands
go
up
at
8
20
pm,
I'm
going
to
adjourn
the
city
council
meeting
the
next
regular
city
council
meeting
is
february
24th
2022
at
5
30.,
but
is
again
noted
by
the
city
manager.
We
have
a
study
session
planned
for
february
22nd,
that's
a
tuesday
evening
and
correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong,
we
are
beginning
that
meeting
at
5,
30
pm.
