Let
me
just
mention
to
you
that
Mr
Ruiz
came
to
us
from
the
city
of
banning
where
he
served
as
the
homeless
site
coordinator.
There,
his
responsibilities
there
included
oversight
of
all
their
shelter
facilities,
conducted,
client
intake
and
occupancy
of
their
facility,
worked
with
residents
on
site
rules
and
expectations
collaborated
with
the
police
department,
other
City
departments,
Community,
Partners,
documenting
client
activity.
All
of
that
important
work,
he's
done.
Other
non-profit
work
with
Upward
Bound
house
to
assist
individuals
dealing
with
mental
health,
substance
abuse,
co-occurring
disorders,
domestic
violence
and
medical
needs.
E
He's
been
a
caseworker
for
affordable
housing,
developer
new
economics
for
women.
Mr
Ruiz
has
his
master's
degree
in
social
work
from
the
University
of
Southern
California,
and
he
received
his
undergraduate
degree
in
theater
from
the
California
Institute
of
Arts,
and
so
we're
thrilled
to
have
him
on
board
and
I
thought.
He
might
just
say
a
quick
word
or
two
to
the
council.
F
A
A
G
Thank
you,
mayor
members
of
the
city
council.
The
engineering
department
does
get
frequent
calls
about
our
traffic
signals
and,
and
you
know,
they're
having
problems
or
something's,
not
working,
so
I
thought
the
best
way
to
show
where
we
are
and
where
we're
going
is
to
bring
in
cvag
and
try
to
to
discuss
the
CV
sync
project,
which
really
really
is
going
to
improve
the
traffic
signals
here
in
the
city
of
Palm,
Springs
and
regionally.
So
with
that
I'll
introduce
Tom,
Kirk
and
I'll
have
some
few
words
at
the
end.
Okay,
thank
you.
H
Mayor
members
of
the
council,
good
to
see
all
of
you
I'll
make
this
very
quick
signal.
Synchronization
doesn't
sound
like
a
very
interesting
thing,
but
it
is,
and
it'll
help
us
get
from
one
point
in
our
Valley
to
another
point
of
our
Valley
faster
and
easier
and
make
it
better
for
our
visitors
too
I'm
going
to
give
you
a
broad
overview.
H
Congestion
relief
is
a
big
deal.
We
understand
this
time
of
year,
in
particular
with
music
festivals
and
a
lot
of
other
events
going
on
the
Coachella
Valley.
Our
residents
and
visitors
do
face
a
little
bit
of
congestion,
particularly
before
and
after
these
big
weekends
cvsync.
Are
you
going
to
see
green
lights
everywhere?
No,
but
you're
going
to
see
more
green
lights
than
red
in
the
future,
and
we've
tried
this
before
by
the
way
in
the
Coachella
Valley
and
we
failed.
H
We
tried
this
about
21
years
ago
on
Highway
111
and
the
system
just
didn't
work
and
I
kind
of
liken
it
to
remember
the
days
of
Microsoft,
Word
and
wordperfect,
and
if
you
did
a
document
in
one
of
those
and
you
tried
to
convert
it
to
the
other,
it'd
always
be
screwed
up.
We've
been
doing
that
with
our
signal
synchronization
program
in
the
Coachella
Valley
every
city
had
its
own
program,
software
controller
and
it
didn't
communicate
with
other
cities.
H
So
we're
looking
at
a
system
that
works
for
the
many
not
just
the
one
and
I
could
tell
you
stories
about.
Just
one
person
can
screw
up
the
entire
system
by
insisting
they
shouldn't
wait,
30
seconds
to
make
a
left
turn
on
Highway
111.
we're
going
to
get
away
from
that
and
create
a
regional
system
with
your
cooperation.
H
H
H
We
are
done
with
phase
one
and
our
former
chair,
holstage
I,
think
we're
there
when
we
were
about
Midway
through
phase
one
that
involved
Washington,
Street,
Highway,
111
and
Ramon
we're
just
about
30
days
away
from
accepting
the
final
work
on
Highway
111,
we're
largely
done
with
Washington
and
Ramon
phase.
Two
is
a
hundred
million
dollar
project
that
mayor
Garner
you're
part
of
our
executive
committee.
We
just
approved
that
work
and
that'll
take
the
next
two
years
and
I'll
show
you
what
that
means
for
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
in
a
minute.
H
So
phase
one
largely
done
we're
finishing
up
the
work
with
Caltrans
to
deliver
Gene,
Autry
and
then
Ramon,
then
back
out
to
Highway
111.
That
should
be
done.
The
next
30
days
phase
two
expect
Summer
by
summer
of
2024
all
the
other
major
corridors
through
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
to
be
synchronized
and
we're
here
to
tell
you
this
is
going
to
be
slightly
disruptive
at
times
to
your
community.
H
That's
one
reason
we're
here
to
explain
that,
but
most
of
the
work
is
actually
underground:
you're,
not
going
to
see
open
trenches
in
the
arterials.
We
do
work
on
control,
the
control
boxes
and
the
Mast
arms,
but
we're
going
to
try
to
do
that
at
night
and
in
the
middle
of
the
summer
and
Eric
Hal's
our
point
of
contact
and
really
the
lead
on
the
project.
H
H
I
Good
afternoon,
Chris
gutterson
of
CB
sync
program
manager
and
what
we're
looking
at
here
is
the
traffic
Management
Center
over
in
La
Quinta,
and
it
was
utilized
during
the
Ironman
back
in
December
and
what
it
allowed
us
to
do
during
the
Iron
Man
is
to
respond
in
real
time
to
traffic
conditions.
We
had
deputies
posted
in
there
with
us,
so
they
could
contact
the
the
deputies
out
in
the
field.
I
Here's
a
short
video
of
a
Drone
footage.
You
can
see
the
impact
of
the
traffic
as
it's
rolling
in
looks
like
a
bunch
of
ants
and
the
tennis
Stadium's
off
over
there
on
the
right
upper
right
hand,
side,
but
basically
being
able
to
have
eyes
in
the
sky
everywhere.
It
helps
us
to
adapt
quickly
to
changing
traffic
conditions
and
if
there's
something
that
causes
any
issues
in
the
field
helps
us
to
respond
quickly
and
we
would
plan
on
using
the
facilities
to
respond
to
many
of
the
events
throughout
the
valley.
G
So
yeah,
thank
you
Tom.
So
one
of
the
things
that
I
wanted
to
show
is
the
city
of
Palm.
Springs
also
has
a
traffic
Management
Center,
we
have
our
own.
It's
been
upgraded
with
the
CV
sync,
and
what
I
wanted
to
show
on
this
slide
here
is
our
Network
right
now
is
in
different
different
stages
of
of
their
functionality.
Some
signals
are
very
old.
Some
of
the
communications
are
very
old
they're
failing
so
we're
working
to
fix
that
and
and
the
our
audience
or
our
residents
want
to
know
what.
G
What
are
you
doing
today
to
fix
this
situation
right
we're
going
to
integrate
into
the
cvsync,
but
right
now
we're
spending
about
15
million
dollars
in
active
projects.
The
downtown
project
is
one
of
them.
We
have
three
four
actually
highway
safety,
Improvement
programs
that
are
being
funded
by
Caltrans.
We
have
two
signals
that
went
up
that
are
going
up,
one
at
Rosa,
Parks
in
Indian,
the
other
at
San
Rafael
and
Avenida
Caballeros.
G
We
have
The
Pedestrian
signal
at
Racket
Club
and
in
the
next
few
weeks,
our
next
few
Council
meetings
I'll
be
bringing
back
a
request
for
funding
to
continue
working
with
our
traffic
Management
Center,
to
improve
it
and
and
connect
it
to
the
CV
sync.
So
that's
sort
of
what
we
are
doing
to
improve
our
track
signals
here
at
the
city
of
Palm
Springs.
Thank
you.
A
The
next
item
on
our
agenda
is
acceptance
of
the
agenda.
The
city
council
will
discuss
the
order
of
the
agenda.
May
amend
the
order
at
urgency,
items,
note,
abstentions
or
no
votes
on
consent,
calendar
items
or
request
consent,
calendar
items
to
be
removed
for
separate
discussion,
I'd
like
to
entertain
a
motion
for
acceptance
of
the
agenda.
Are
there
any
items,
staff
or
council
members
would
alike
removed
from
the
consent
calendar
for
a
separate
discussion
or
vote
councilmember
Middleton.
J
L
K
A
C
A
C
A
A
Thank
you
very
much.
The
next
item
is
public
testimony.
This
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're
asked
to
please
begin
your
time
by
telling
us
what
agenda
item
or
items
you
were
speaking
about.
Please
note:
the
testimony
for
public
hearings
will
be
taken
at
the
time
of
the
public
hearing
and
general
public
comment
for
subjects
not
on
the
agenda
will
be
taken
later
in
the
evening.
A
N
N
Make-A-Wish
is
celebrating
our
Make-a-Wish
chapter
of
celebrating
our
40th
anniversary
of
fulfilling
our
mission
of
creating
life-changing
wishes
for
children
with
critical
illnesses
in
Orange,
Riverside
and
CERN
Bernardino
counties
make
a
wish
fulfills
all
kinds
of
wishes
from
wishes
to
be.
They
want
to
be
somebody
to
have
a
computer
system
perhaps
to
go
Disney,
World,
Disneyland
and
tuitions
to
meet
celebrities.
Typically,
this
idea
is
to
give
children
the
strength
to
fight
against
and
over
even
overcome
a
critical
illness.
N
Research
have
shown
that
the
wish
Journey
can
improve
the
emotional
well-being
of
a
child
with
a
life-threatening
illness.
Our
chapter
grants
325
wishes
each
year
I'm
sure
you
won't
be
surprised
to
learn
that
40
of
them
are
Disneyland,
Disney,
World
and
again
45
percent
are
travel
again.
My
sincere
thanks
for
the
proclamation.
Thank
you.
A
O
Hi,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
we
can
please
go
ahead.
My
name
is
Catherine
hatch
I'd
like
to
comment
on
item
1i
I'm,
a
regular
user
of
Palm
Springs
parks
with
my
three
sons,
ages,
two
four
and
nine
and
I've
been
increasingly
baffled
by
their
condition
and
I'm
not
alone.
This
is
a
wealthy
town.
We
pay
high
property
taxes
to
live
here.
People
come
here
from
all
over
the
world.
The
way
in
which
the
city
maintains
its
public
parks
is
an
embarrassment
I'm
happy.
O
The
shade,
however,
the
council
should
also
consider
adding
water
features.
We
used
to
enjoy
one
at
Ruth
Hardy,
but
it
was
removed
years
ago.
This
is
the
desert.
We
need
shade
and
water
for
children
to
be
able
to
play
in
the
heat.
There's
only
one
shade
of
play:
structure
in
Palm
Springs,
which
is
sunrise,
Park
I,
encourage
you
to
visit
Sunrise,
it's
dilapidated.
The
ground
is
peeling,
not
all
the
swings
work
and
many
parents
avoid
it
due
to
open
drug
use
in
around
and
around
the
park.
O
The
maintenance
of
our
Park
bathrooms
and
structures
need
immediate
attention.
For
months,
two
slides
at
both
Ruth
Hardy
and
demuth
have
been
boarded
off.
Why
is
this
who's
responsible
for
maintaining
the
existing
play
structures
and
why
does
it
take
months
to
repair
them
and
why
aren't
they
cleaned
the
bathrooms
at
all
of
our
city
parks
are
filthy.
It's
well
known
among
parents
to
avoid
them.
My
older
son
plays
baseball
with
the
Palm
Springs
Youth
League.
He
and
the
other
children
can't
use
the
bathrooms
without
a
parent's
parent
in
there
with
them,
as
I
was
photographing.
O
The
conditions
at
demuth,
a
desperate
mother,
said
to
me:
please
complain.
This
is
horrible.
The
league
president
has
told
us
about
encountering
drugs,
people
selling
and
using
them
and
sexual
acts
taking
place
in
the
bathrooms
by
the
Fields.
How
can
the
city
allow
this?
What
does
it
say
to
the
families
that
live
here?
I
encourage
you
to
visit
the
local
playgrounds,
use
the
bathrooms
and
imagine
you
were
there
with
your
children
or
the
child
of
someone?
O
You
love
I,
encourage
you
to
visit
the
playgrounds
in
Rancho,
Palm,
Desert
cat
City
and
even
Indio
to
see
how
clean,
modern
and
welcoming
and
well-maintained
they
are
by
comparison.
We
should
be
able
to
do
better
for
our
youngest
residents
and
as
the
most
recognized
City
in
this
Valley.
These
conditions
are
unacceptable
at
a
bare
minimum.
We
should
be
able
to
keep
our
parks
and
restrooms
safe
and
clean.
Hopefully
you
will
be
the
change
makers.
Palm
Springs
parks
desperately
needs.
Thank
you.
P
And
CD
functionaries,
the
city
police
chief
Mills
good
afternoon
to
everyone
and
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
here-
I'm
very
I'm,
a
taxpayer,
because
my
my
wife
and
I
we
live
in
the
city,
we
own
a
home
near
the
section
14
area,
and
we
find
it
completely
absurd
that
the
city
is
going
to
incur
an
expense
of
over
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
if
and
and
they're
hiring
or
considering,
to
hire
an
organization
from
New,
York,
State
and
New.
York
state
is
a
disaster
itself.
P
It's
a
lot
of
criminality,
there's
nothing
to
learn
from
New
York
people
are
being
pushed
into
the
subway
and
terrible
things
are
happening
in
New
York
and
there's
no
reason
to
hire
a
firm
from
New
York.
If
we
were
going
to
do
this
hire
one
from
California,
but
the
whole
idea
is
absurd
and
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
blunder,
because
I
understand
that
this
property
was
owned
by
the
Indians
of
the
kawila
Indians
and
that
whatever
happened
on
that
property.
P
That's
on
section
14,
those
many
years
ago
that
was
between
the
Indians
allowed
it
not
the
city
of
Palm
Springs,
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
may
have
improved
because
these
were
Shacks.
This
is
a
shanty
town,
I
have
lived
in
South,
America
and
I
have
seen
the
extent
of
shanty
towns
and
slums
and
if
they
are
not
cleaned
up,
they
turn
into
huge
cities.
P
Q
There's
so
much,
we
could
say
about
the
situation
and
I
know
that
gentleman
spoke
about
it,
but
his
grandmother
didn't
live
on
that
property.
His
grandmother
didn't
move
from
a
Jim
Crow
state
of
Mississippi
to
live
in
Palm,
Springs
and
work.
My
grandmother
was
a
wonderful
person
and
my
family
still
owns
our
house
in
2023
that
was
purchased
in
1962
on
Lawrence
crosley's
property
after
being
sent
off
for
that
property.
The
way
she
was-
and
it's
one
thing
to
say
that
it
was
shaqs
and
you
needed
to
get
rid
of
that
property.
Q
Okay.
That
may
have
been
true.
It
may
have
been
true,
but
it's
how
you
do
things.
It's
a
way
to
do
everything
and
you
can't
just
burn
down
folks
homes
and
think
it's
okay,
it's
not!
Okay.
People
moved
out
there.
People
had
had
their
entire
livelihood
out
there
in
that
in
that
area
they
had
churches,
they
had
homes,
they
had
stores
and
they
were
taken
care
of
a
lot
of
people.
My
grandmother
used
to
clean
people's
homes
here
in
the
desert
until
she
upped
until
the
day
she
died.
Q
So
these
same
nasty
people
that
they
talk
about
have
made
Palm
Springs
what
it
is
today.
Okay,
I
still
live
here,
I'm
a
nurse
I'm
45
years
old
I
have
no
felons
I'm
a
taxpayer,
and
we
have
rights
too
and
I.
Don't
understand
why
everybody
has
a
problem
when
black
and
Latinos
speak
up
about
what
they
need.
R
A
R
R
So
if
trash
was
sitting
around
it
wasn't
us,
it
was
the
city
that
was
not
giving
us
what
we
were
paying
taxes
for
to
have.
Okay.
So
a
lot
of
these
people,
the
speaking
negatively
about
us,
wasn't
even
from
Palm
Springs
at
the
time
they
have
no
idea
what
went
on
and
I'm
sick
of
them
standing
up
and
talking
about
something
they
know
nothing
about,
but
anyway,
I
have
a
lot
to
say
about
it.
R
S
I
would
just
like
to
underscore
that
it's
so
important
that
we
kind
of
standardize,
comprehensive,
shade
at
all
of
our
perks
and
that
we
forecast
the
maintenance
of
our
places,
replacement,
cost
of
all
shade
structures.
So
we
keep
children
safe
from
the
strong
Sun
here,
and
also
that
we're
anticipating
what
that
cost
is
going
to
be,
and
it's
not
sneaking
up
on
us
and
we're
letting
it
kind
of
extend
far
longer
than
it
needs
to
I
did
notice
in
both
proposals
for
both
park.
There
is
no
water
features.
S
I
hear
a
lot
of
times.
People
say
the
pool
the
pool
is
for
best
for
swimmers
and
safest
for
swimmers
for
very
small
children.
Preschoolers
toddlers,
splash
pads,
are
really
helpful
and
then
the
last
thing
I
would
say
around
Parks
is
you
know,
I
would
love
to
hear
an
update
on
the
status
of
new
park
rangers
I
believe
they
just
started
I,
don't
know
why
it
took
10
months
to
fill.
S
A
T
T
There
are
many
conflicting
stories
about
what
happened,
who
ordered
it
and
what
was
told
to
the
families.
All
of
us
in
this
community
want
to
know
exactly
what
happened.
Ways
City
have
both
an
obligation
to
The
Descendants
and
of
the
families
and
to
the
citizens
of
the
city.
This
Council
has
the
responsibility
to
gather
all
the
facts
and
determine
what
is
fair
and
just
as
well
as
a
fiduciary
responsibility
to
the
residents
of
Palm
Springs
you've,
yet
to
find
the
scope
in
the
city's
factual
involvement
and
what
happened
and
what
that
means.
T
I've
read
all
the
documents
that
have
been
covered
in
the
archives
and
other
information
that
has
come
from
local
historians,
I'm
also
sure
The
Descendants
have
additional
information.
We
cannot
act
on
what
we
think
happened
or
the
conflicting
memories
of
individuals
as
to
what
happened.
We
definitely
cannot
pay
half
a
million
dollars
for
a
predetermined
outcome.
An
independent
analysis
of
all
the
facts
needs
to
be
presented
to
the
council,
so
the
determination
can
be
made
on
how
to
proceed.
T
A
U
I'm
William
Wickwire,
the
movie
Colony
District,
three
calling
calling
in
about
item
3A
reparations
I
have
five
points
to
make.
The
first
one
is
about
the
bias.
That's
inherent
in
this
proposal.
We
should
not
spend
over
500
or
up
to
five
hundred
and
two
thousand
dollars
on
research
on
section
14
with
the
team
that
is
already
pre-biased,
I
mean
just
check
out
their
websites.
Columbia
University
is
an
unbiased
sounding
cover,
but
this
is
a
preordained
agenda.
The
item.
U
The
team
is
not
objective,
they're,
not
a
third
party
who
will
openly
consider
all
the
inputs,
and
they
are
starting
with
an
unbendable
hypothesis
and
they're,
going
to
gather
data
to
prove
it
number
two
slippery
slope.
There
should
be
citizen
polling
on
a
matter
of
this
magnitude
because
it
doesn't
just
end
at
half
a
million
dollars.
U
Newly
found
documents
show
that
the
Bureau
of
Indian,
Affairs,
Riverside,
County
and
other
people
wanted
to
honor
the
tribe's
right
to
develop
their
own
land
is
a
stone,
Cold
Fact
and
it
is
written
into
current
land
leases
that
you
are
subject
to
eviction
and
home
loss
if
tribal
members
seek
to
reclaim
their
Parcels
of
land.
Furthermore,
the
RFP
was
likely
to
have
been
inaccurate.
U
Three
inflated
values,
people
lost
homes
and
the
value
of
those
homes
must
be
considered,
because
the
claim
that
vast
amounts
of
intergenerational
wealth
were
lost
is
wrong.
They
were
seasonal
workers
living
on
undeveloped
land
and,
although
two
billion
dollars
is
just
an
anchor
number
considering,
there
are
only
120
documented
survivors.
A
V
V
What
happened
to
us
is
no
big
deal
just
just
a
small
research
I
look
at
Inland
atrocities
to
Scotland
I,
look
at
Japan
atrocity
to
China
13,
3.9
million
Chinese
were
killed
and
looking
at
Terps,
The
Armenian
Genocide,
you
know
100
to
200
000
women
and
children
were
converted
to
become
Muslims,
I
mean
it
just
took
away
the
world
now.
Also
looking
at
Nazi
Germany
against
the
Jews,
six
million
Jews
approximately
were
killed
and
Jews
are
still
hunting
Nazis
in
December
of
22.
V
Her
name
is
urban
guard
ferchner.
She
was
indicted
and
prosecuted
for
ten
thousand
and
500
murders,
although
she
had
a
suspended
sentence,
but
Jews
are
still
hunting
Nazis
because
they
haven't
forgotten,
and
so
we
won't
forget,
and
so
we
will
continue
our
journey.
I
want
to
thank
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
for
acknowledging
what
has
happened
to
us
and
continue
the
great
fight.
Thank
you.
W
Hi,
my
name
is
Daryl
Terrell.
For
far
too
long,
there's
been
an
imbalance
of
power
between
third-party
food
delivery
services
and
restaurants.
They
shouldn't
be
pressured
into
accepting
third-party
food
delivery
services
fees
in
order
to
remain
viable
and
competitive.
Madam
mayor
and
your
colleagues,
the
city
council,
I,
have
seen
your
commitment,
support
and
Leadership
and
protecting
your
your
restaurants
in
this
work
is
before
the
pandemic
during
and
after
you
have
opportunity
once
again
to
stand
up
for
them.
W
That's
why
I
support
the
permanent
ordinance
by
permitting
limiting
the
fees
you
are
ensuring
that
the
restaurants
have
a
real
opportunity
to
recover
and
thrive
in
delivery.
Drivers
receive
all
their
tips
they
earn
and
deserve.
However,
Madam
mayor
and
city
council,
we
could
do
even
more.
For
example,
you
should
propose
an
ordinance
that
requires
these
third-party
delivery
services
to
obtain
a
city
business
license
and
pay
the
airfare
share
of
taxes
by
licensing
food
delivery.
Apps.
W
You
could
bring
much
needed
oversight
and
regulation
to
this
expanding
industry,
which
would
greatly
benefit
not
only
the
delivery
drivers,
but
the
restaurants
and
residents
who
use
apps
as
well.
Also,
you
should
consider
require
them
to
share
customer
order.
Data
with
restaurants,
fulfilling
food
orders
prohibit
them
from
listing
restaurants
on
their
platform,
without
the
restaurant's
permission,
require
them
to
list
their
restaurants,
brick
and
mortar
telephone
number
on
their
platform
and
finally
prohibit
them
from
charging
restaurants
for
telephone
orders
when
a
transaction
did
not
take
place.
W
X
This
way,
those
with
no
resources
are
prioritized
over
those
with
the
higher
incomes
of
up
to
forty,
nine
thousand.
Five
hundred
for
people
like
me,
in
mobile
home
parks
in
the
extremely
low
income
bracket
of
no
more
than
eighteen
thousand
five
hundred.
My
personal
income
is
significantly
less
than
that.
It's
a
hopeless
one
step
from
homelessness
situation
when
major
issues
arise,
I
have
a
lot
to
say
in
regard
to
the
difficulty,
getting
assistance
and
keeping
my
mobile
home
habitable.
X
It
was
not
disclosed
to
me
prior
to
the
purchase
that
it
had
sat
empty
and
a
pipe
broke,
flooding
the
home
for
an
extended
period
of
time
with
up
to
three
inches
of
water,
which
I
discovered
by
a
barely
visible
water
line.
Much
later,
it
was
confirmed
by
a
neighbor
over
time.
The
wooden
supporting
frame
underneath
dry
rotted,
causing
my
home
to
begin
caving
in
I,
see
daylight
where
the
wall
and
floor
meet
in
one
room.
X
Y
A
Thank
you
and
I
do
realize
that
that
comment
came
in
the
wrong
spot,
so
if
anyone
else
is
speaking
on
2A,
that
will
be
at
a
later
time
but
you're
fine,
your
comment
is
fine.
It
was
we
that
was
my
fault,
but
thank
you
for
your
comment.
Just
noting
that,
for
the
record
next
we
have
Michael
Joseph,
Pitkin
and
Then,
followed
by
Amanda
Krim.
Z
Michael
Joseph
Pitkin
all
allocations
in
the
United
States,
only
non-theistic
Satanism
is
promoted
as
Jewish
and
Christian.
Religions
do
not
want
God
associated
with
evil
to
prevent
another
Hitler
and
Holocaust
theostic
Satanism
is
not
about
creating
a
god
of
evil
religion.
Rather,
since
time
immemorial,
there
has
always
been
human
definition
and
respectful
understanding
of
all
that
is
naturally
not
leading
to
a
pleasant
human
survival.
Z
That
natural
unpleasantness
should
be
acknowledged
as
part
of
all
aspects
of
life,
including
religion,
all
satanists,
occult
non-believers
and
the
others
have
a
duty
to
be
engaged
citizens
willing
to
compromise
with
all
religions
for
human
survival.
If
one
is
not
part
of
the
solution,
then
one
is
part
of
the
problem
in
over
a
year
and
a
half
I
have
asked
several
requests
of
this
body
and
its
government
Partners.
Those
requests
I
feel
I
need
in
order
to
survive
requests
that
fix
your
broken,
reasonable
test
program
and
civil
rights
violations.
My
requests
have
been
disregarded.
Z
It
is
against
my
own
theostic
Satanism
religion
to
be
forced
into
Jewish
and
Christian
religions
and
laws.
Today,
in
protest,
I'm
Michael,
Joseph,
Pickin,
publicly
pronounced
I
am
a
theatric
Satanist
religious,
conscientious
objector.
In
addition,
I
am
a
political
sex,
race,
age,
financial
and
economic
disparity,
conscientious
objector,
all
of
the
negative
actions
and
threats
of
treason
and
Sedition
from
people
of
color
here
is
exactly
what
I
experienced
in
2004
at
Barbara
boxer's
FBI
office
in
LA
with
black
women
screaming
sedition.
Z
It
is
not
to
be
me
who
is
treasonous
and
seditious,
but
rather
those
who
put
Trayvon
Johnson
and
Debra
Randolph
on
my
medical
records.
Without
my
permission,
if
this
body
does
not
like
my
pronouncement,
then
I
will
go
to
confession
to
my
friend
Father
John
Butkus,
a
client
of
mine,
I,
moved
to
Beaumont
in
2005.
AA
Wonderful
good
evening,
council
members,
my
name
is
Amanda
Crim
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
testify,
on
behalf
of
doordash
on
item
3C
at
doordash.
Our
mission
is
to
grow
and
Empower
local
economies,
including
in
Palm
Springs.
We
do
that
by
connecting
customers
with
the
best
of
their
communities,
helping
local
restaurants
and
other
Merchants
grow
their
business
and
provide
delivery
drivers,
our
Dashers
access
to
flexible
earning
opportunities.
AA
Thankfully
much
has
changed
since
October
2020
when
the
city
first
imposed
emergency
limits
on
the
fees
that
platforms
like
doordash
and
restaurants
and
Palm
Springs
may
agree
to
dining
rooms
are
fully
reopened.
Social
distancing
and
mask
requirements
have
been
lifted
and
vaccines
are
widely
available.
In
fact,
both
the
state
of
California
and
the
city
have
terminated
their
respective
states
of
emergency.
Now
that
the
city's
economy
has
reopened.
Restaurants
in
Palm
Springs
again
have
options
when
it
comes
to
serving
their
customers,
including
more
choices
than
ever.
AA
When
it
comes
to
partnering
with
platforms
like
doordash
for
more
than
two
years,
doordash
has
offered
pricing
plans
that
give
local
restaurants
the
ability
to
offer
customers
delivery
through
our
Marketplace
and
pay.
Only
15
commission,
the
same
rate
required
by
the
city's
temporary
fee
limits,
restaurants,
that
want
to
pay
more
to
access
additional
Services
can
opt
into
those
services
and
pay.
A
higher
commission
and
restaurants
aren't
locked
into
the
choices
they
make
they're
free
to
switch
plans
as
they
see
fit.
AA
Keeping
the
current
current
fee
limits
in
place
could
jeopardize
the
ability
of
restaurants
in
Palm
Springs
to
access
the
full
Suite
of
services
offered
by
doordash
and
other
platforms.
Feed
limits
also
cause
customers
prices
to
increase,
leading
to
fewer
opportunities
for
restaurants,
to
earn
revenue
and
for
Dashers
to
earn
income.
For
these
reasons,
we
urge
the
council
to
follow
the
lead
of
other
cities
like
San
Francisco,
that
have
adopted
a
compromise
approach
and
ensures
restaurants,
have
access
to
low-cost
options,
but
gives
restaurants
the
flexibility
to
decide
which
products
and
services
work
best
for
them.
AB
Good
evening
my
name
is
Doug.
Evans
I'd
like
to
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
about
item.
3A
you've
got
to
get
the
facts
right.
You
heard
some
very
good
testimony.
Some
testimony
from
somebody
I
usually
disagree
with
about
you
better
get
it
right.
Your
contract
is
flawed.
We're
not
here
to
try
to
fix
it,
for
you.
You're
either
live.
Y
AB
AB
That
quote
was
made
at
an
Interfaith
service
at
the
Methodist
Church
I
had
to
read
it
I
had
to
look
at
the
video
again
today,
because
I
still
don't
believe
it.
There
were
never
5
000
people
of
color
in
section
14.,
the
people
in
section
14
were
good
people.
The
Indians
were
good
people.
The
city
councils
at
the
time
were
good
people
you're,
inherently
good
people.
G
AB
Little
bit
of
heat
for
the
Human
Rights
Commission
report,
it's
factually
wrong
and
it
hasn't
been
fixed.
The
Human
Rights
Commission
recently
this
year
has
voted
twice
to
talk
about
it,
we're
not
sure
who
keeps
it
off
their
agenda
when
they
vote
unanimously
to
put
it
on
the
agenda.
That's
wrong!
That's
not
transparent!
Let
them
talk
about
it.
You
should
be
talking
about
it.
A
A
AC
This
is
not
an
issue
that
should
be
publicized
with
normal
postings
as
though
you
are
changing
an
intersection
or
adding
a
building
to
the
school.
This
is
a
momentous
decision
and
the
only
reason
that
it
wouldn't
be
publicized
so
that
a
majority
of
Palm
Springs
voters
know
what's
going
on,
is
that
people
might
be
afraid
of
what
the
voters
would
say.
I'm,
not
afraid
of
what
the
voters
would
say.
I
think
the
voters
would
be
fair
and
I
think
the
issue
could
be
dealt
with,
but
I
really
believe
strongly
that
you're
not
publicizing
this
enough.
AD
Good
evening
mayor
council
staff
I
want
to
speak
on
item
3A.
My
name
is
Dieter
Crawford
I
live
in
the
desert,
Highland
Gateway
Estates
neighborhood
I'm,
a
board
member
for
the
Palm
Springs
black
history
committee,
as
well
as
a
member
of
the
section
14
survivors
group.
My
family
came
here
to
Palm
Springs
in
the
early
1950s
and
settled
on
section
14
of
the
Agua
Caliente
Indian
Reservation.
AD
Advocate
to
have
us
move
forward
with
reparations
Consulting.
This
is
something
that
our
families
have
been
asking
for
as
far
as
compensation
for
many
many
years
for
being
evicted
from
section
14
and
I
think
that
it's
time
that
we
have
an
expert
look
at
it
and
come
up
with
an
a
decision
to
see
if
it's
worth
making
possible
or
even
making
happen.
AD
So
once
again,
just
like
to
thank
the
council
for
even
taking
up
this
issue,
I
know
you
guys
issued
an
apology,
a
while
back
as
well,
so
just
want
to
get
some
closure
on
the
issue
of
our
families
being
displaced
and
we've
all
heard
the
stories
from
both
sides.
You
know
the
conservators
and
the
city
colluded
to
evict
minority
residents
from
Downtown
Palm
Springs
to
make
Palm
Springs
what
it
is
today.
So
we
just
want
to
get
closure
on
this
issue
and
once
again
my
name
is
Dieter
Crawford.
AE
Good
evening,
mayor
mayor,
Pro,
tem,
members
of
the
council,
our
new
city
manager,
welcome,
welcome
and
staff
I'm

I
want
to
commence
City
staff
and
the
council
for
what
you
will
be
approving
the
playground,
equipment
and
change
structures
for
demuth
and
Victoria
parks.
This
is
one
of
the
many
critically
important
Capital
expenditures
needed
to
bring
our
Parks
up
to
standard.
Please
keep
investing
in
Capital
Improvements
and
the
staff
to
manage
the
ongoing
planning
for
capital
projects,
along
with
the
use
and
maintenance
of
these
facilities.

This
is
a
serious
matter
that
deserves
to
have
the
full
attention
of
council
and
staff
who
results
who
suffers
as
a
result
of
this
failure.
Everyone,
of
course,
but
importantly,
our
kids.
What
they
see
and
experience
is
horrific.
I've
talked
to
a
number
of
moms
and
dads
in
the
past
few
weeks
and
their
stories
are
devastating.
They
were
shocking
to
me.
I
know
there
are
issues
with
the
unhoused,
but
we
can
still
solve
this.
AE
AE
You
can
be
the
council
that
solves
this
once
and
for
all.
It
is
a
long-standing
problem
and
I
bet.
If
there
is
visible
Improvement.
Each
of
you
will
be
lauded
for
your
collective
decision
to
solve
this.
Please
do
not
run
up
the
white
flag
and
say
this
is
the
best
we
can
do.
I
know
we
can
do
better.
Let's
do
it.

Your
honor,
but
I
now
want
to
make
it
clear
for
those
who
are
here
giving
their
opinions.
My
father
built
our
home
with
his
own
hard-earned
money.
We
rented
the
land
from
the
Native
Americans,
but
the
home
was
ours.
We
were
thrown
out
and
had
to
leave
our
home
without
compensations
until
something
this
devastating
has
happened
to
those
giving
their
lack
of
research
comments.

Consider
doing
your
research
I'll,
give
you
a

who
tells
a
story
from
all
the
sides
that
were
involved,
you're
so
concerned
about

How
much
money
was
made
by
getting
us
out
of
there
and
bringing
in
all
the
rich
and
Elite
to
enjoy

Palm

without
the

that
you
so
heartlessly
had
thrown

I'm
qualified
to
give
an
account
of
exactly
what
took
place
here

no
matter
how
much
people
want
to
trust
to
twist
it.
The
facts
about
the
Agua
Caliente
tribe
is
clear.
They
invited
us
to
live
on
the
reservation
they
wanted
us
here,
while
the
civic-minded
public-minded
Civic
leaders
set
out
to
construct
a
city
to
eliminate
and
favor
its
so-called
most
worthy
citizen,
which
was
folks
that
weren't
folks
of

they
were
white
folks
and
they
didn't

AJ
AJ
before
jumping
off
a
cliff
and
spending
half
a
million
dollars
on
figuring
a
way
to
blame
one
group
for
the
misfortunes
of
another,
no
matter
which
side
of
the
issue
you're
on.
We
don't
move
to
the
Penalty
phase.
Until
a
verdict
has
been
handed
down,
we
don't
know
if
a
crime
has
been
committed,
let
an
O,
let
alone
a
coup
committed.
One
is
eviction.
AJ
A
crime
is
destruction
of
improvements
constructed
on
rented
Land
by
tenants
subsequently
destroyed
by
the
property
owned
eviction
as
a
legal
device
used
by
Property
Owners
to
reclaim
their
own
land
under
a
variety
of
legal
conditions,
for
example,
if
a
tenant
stops
paying
rent
or
if
a
tenant
engages
in
illegal
activity
like
running
a
meth
lab
or
a
brothel
if
a
tenant
deliberately
and
maliciously
destroys
the
property.
These
are
all
reasons
why
eviction
is
a
device
that
is
used
in
law
to
protect
the
property
owner
and
oh
by
the
way.
AJ
One
way
is
if
a
tenancy
is
terminated.
So
the
question
is:
were
these
tenancies
terminated
properly?
There
were
many
arguments
that
point
to:
yes,
they
were,
and
there
were
some
Unfortunate
Events
along
the
way
in
terms
of
who
actually
received
notice,
whether
it
was
the
owner
or
whether
it
was
the
tenant.
But
the
point
is
eviction.
When
it
happens
to
people
is
most
uncomfortable.
It's
very
sad
for
the
people
who
are
evicted.

thank

J
Commissioners
like
Jeffrey
Bernstein,
who
brought
this
forward
and
supported
so
I.
Just
have
a
few
questions
that
we
heard
in
public
comment.
K
So
one
could
you
speak
to
the
water
features?
We
heard
a
lot
about
that.
We
get
a
lot
of
requests.
I
know
I've
personally
sent
a
lot
of
photos
to
City
staff
over
the
years
as
well,
about
the
water
features
and
the
maintenance,
and
all
of
that
so
could
you
just
say
a
little
bit
about
if
the
company
offers
water
features.
K
I
know
that
the
intent
is
to
do
a
Parks
master
plan
and
plan
out
big
water
features,
but
both
that
demuth
at
Victoria
Park
at
Sunrise
Park
and
a
few
others
there's
old
water
features
where
it's
all
built
out,
but
the
turtles
will
remove.
So
does
this
company
sell
a
water
feature
products
that
we
could
put
in
those
locations
as
we
wait
to
plan
larger
water
play
for
younger
kids.
AM
Thank
you
for
the
questions.
I
I
can't
speak
to
whether
or
not
the
company
offers
that
we
can
certainly
ask
them.
I
have
looked
into
the
old
water
features,
so
they
were
removed
in
2017
from
what
I
understand
they
were
maybe
unsafe
and
old
at
the
time,
but
they
have
completely
been
removed.
So
there
is
no
infrastructure
left
for
that.
However,
I
do
know
that
the
Parks
and
Recreation
Commission
and
Parkinson
Recreation
staff
are
very
interested
in
that,
and
my
understanding
is
that
that
will
be
part
of
their
master
plan.
K
Thank
you
I
believe
that
they
were
actually
removed
much
later
than
that,
because
I've
been
asking
for
that
for
a
few
years
now
and
we
first
had
them
and
we
had
a
lot
of
requests
to
turn
them
back
on,
and
then
we
asked
so
much
they
were
removed
and
so
we're
in
worse
circumstances,
and
so
it
seems
like
I,
go
to
the
parks
almost
every
day.
With
my
toddler,
there
is
still
underground
infrastructure,
I
believe
because,
because
only
the
actual
physical
Turtles
were
removed,
so
certainly.
K
AM
K
And
then,
if
I
can
just
ask
a
few
more
questions,
I'll
be
great.
Thank
you
to
my
colleagues.
So
one
of
the
shade
structures
is
a
complete,
full
shade
structure,
so
it
offers
complete
shade
and
then
one
of
the
shade
structures
is
like
triangles
put
together,
which
allows
a
lot
of
sun
to
come
through.
So
could
you
explain
the
reasoning
about
why
not
doing
similar
the
same
shade
in
both
of
the
areas
and
why
one
was
picked
over
the
other?
Certainly.
AM
My
and
our
designer
can
speak
to
that,
but
my
understanding
is
the
way
the
playground
at
Victoria
is
sort
of
laid
out
that
that
will
actually
get
better
coverage.
So
what
we
have
at
Duluth
is
more
like
a
straight
line.
So
then
a
solid
structure
really
makes
more
sense
in
that
realm.
That
was
the
idea,
because
in
Victoria
we're
a
little
bit
limited
for
room,
so
we
don't
want
to
have
a
overly
large
footprint,
but
I
can
have
them
speak
to
that.
If
you
would
like
more
information.
Thank.
K
Z
K
Know
as
a
parent
I
have
preferences,
because
often
those
triangles
have
a
lot
of
sun
that
comes
through
and
you
really
don't
have
the
shade
coverage
I
think
we
currently
have
that
at
Sunrise,
Park
and
I
would
say
it's
not
sufficient
shade
to
use
the
park
in
the
Sun,
but
so
I
love,
I'd,
love,
some
input
on
that,
but
I
don't
want
to
hold
this
up.
I
very
much
want
it
to
go
forward.
K
K
K
Mulch
Rubber
does
not
work
it's
everywhere
and
it's
a
mess
and
then
could
I
just
ask
City
staff.
We
heard
a
lot
about
Maine.
You
might
not
be
the
right
person
but
maintenance
of
the
playgrounds
of
some
of
the
park
structures.
Definitely
as
users
of
the
parks.
We
often
experience
the
side
slides
being
closed
for
months.
K
All
that
was
accurate
in
the
public
comment,
swings
being
missing
for
months,
and
so
could
you
just
talk
about
I
know
the
we
have
Park
Rangers
that
we've
hired
and
are
coming
on
board,
who
talk
about
what
they're
doing
and
the
improve
maintenance
and
also
just
speak
to
the
of
the
safety
in
the
bathrooms,
because
that
was
really
concerning
the
public
comment.
We
heard
certainly.
AM
Excuse
me
so
for
the
for
the
equipment
for
the
other
playgrounds,
they
are
correct,
it
does.
It
is
quite
lengthy
when
you
order,
for
instance,
a
new
slide
things
like
that,
so
you
will
see
that
sometimes
we
will
have
to
block
it
off
because
we
don't
want
it
to
be
unsafe,
but
it's
not
uncommon
for
it
to
be
many
months
to
get
those.
It
is
an
unfortunate
reality
where
we're
at
today
the
project
before
you
today.
AM
Should
you
approve
it
the
lead
time
for
that
to
get
everything
is
about
seven
months
again,
it's
just
an
unfortunate
reality,
but
we
hope
that
you
will
approve
it
for
the
restrooms.
We
certainly
have
Crews
and
a
contractors
that
work
on
that
restrooms
are
closed.
Generally
around
10
o'clock,
they're
clean
before
the
restrooms
open,
usually
the
issues
that
we
have
are
generally
throughout
the
day,
so
we
we
certainly
rely
on
reporting
of
if
there's
an
issue
staff
also
checks
restrooms.
Throughout
the
day,
we
also
have
a
contracted
day
Porter.
That
does
the
same
thing.
AM
So
we
put
a
lot
of
effort
in
that,
and
I
certainly
understand
their
frustration.
However,
I
don't
know
to
be
honest:
I
don't
know
that
more
contractor
staff
would
make
a
difference
in
that.
In
that
realm
we
certainly
couldn't
post
someone
at
that
restroom
24
hours
a
day
and
I
think
that
would
be
a
struggle.
AM
Unfortunately,
sometimes
it's
almost
societal
thing.
Some
people
are
just,
can
be
Vandal
vandals
or
have
cross
problems,
so
we
may
clean
it.
It
may
be
beautiful
and
I
go
in
use
the
restroom.
Someone
else
goes
in
30
minutes
later.
It
could
be
a
different
scenario
and
please
don't
think
that
is
an
excuse,
but
that
is
really
a
reality
that
we
face
every
day
and
we
really
really
try
to.
AM
AH
AN
Will
be
there
as
soon
as
possible
for
any
additional
cleaning
that
might
be
necessary.
That
does
requires,
as
director
Maccabee
said,
reporting,
but
now
that
we
have
Park
Rangers.
Just
this
week
we
ramped
up
with
three
new
park
rangers.
This
is
the
first
time
we've
ever
had
this
position,
we'll
have
a
fourth
coming
on
soon,
and
they
will
also
help
with
that
being
out
in
the
Parks
and
Reporting
when
they
see
issues
so
that
they
can
be
addressed
more
quickly.
AN
K
Thank
you,
I
think,
that's
a
great
solution.
I
know
the
council
had
supported
that
since
reporting
relying
on
people
reporting
problems
on
their
own
isn't
enough,
and
if
you
have
a
toddler
or
a
few
and
you're
not
able
to
also
report
problems
so
I'm
so
glad
we
moved
that
forward.
Thank
you.
Is
there
a
plan.
We
got
one
comment:
a
comprehensive
for
comprehensive,
shade
at
all
the
parks,
so
we're
just
starting
with
these
two.
It.
AM
AM
K
And
not
to
date,
myself,
I'm
36,
so
I'm,
not
even
that
young,
but
these
Parks
playgrounds
are
from
were
installed
before
I
graduated
high
school
I
could
have
played
on
these
playgrounds
as
a
minor,
really
shocking,
so
I
hope
we
don't
get
in
this
hole
again
and
like
the
Naomi
Soto
commented,
I
hope
we
have
a
plan
for
maintenance
and
repair
so
that
we're
not
just
funding
the
problems
once
we're
too
far
in
the
hole.
That's
what
happened
to
us
with
Street
repairs
and
so
many
other
deferred
maintenance
issues.
So
thank
you
so
much.
U
A
L
AM
L
AM
L
AM
Certainly
so
there
are
a
myriad
of
color
options
available
for
not
only
the
shade
structures
but
the
playground
equipment
itself
so
again
should
Council
approve
tonight,
then
this
will
go
back
so
that
they
can.
The
commission
Parts
commission
can
choose
the
colors
they
want.
They
were
very
clear
that
they
wanted
bright,
vibrant
colors,
Many
Many
Colors,
so
that
was
what
was
decided.
So
should
you
so
the
rendering
you
see
tonight
shows
you
the
layout
and
everything
is
there,
but
it's
not
necessarily
green
I.
AO
So
thank
you
for
the
question:
Yvonne
wise,
your
Parks
and
Recreation
director.
So
right
now
we
are
working
with
our
master
plan,
ad
hoc
of
the
Parks
and
Recreation
Commission.
We
have
a
draft
of
the
RFP
for
the
master
plan
consultant.
We
are
going
to
need
a
few
more
weeks
to
get
that
polished
up
so
that
we're
happy
with
it.
AO
We
know
right
now,
for
instance,
that
we
wanted
to
include
a
special
section
on
water
features
for
our
Parks,
so
we
wanted
to
have
our
consultant
or
a
consultant
who's
knowledgeable
about
youth
play
water,
interactive
features
Focus
just
on
that,
and
that
will
give
us
basically
the
Stepping
Stones,
to
implement
a
very
large
Vision
faster.
What
we
don't
want
is
the
master
plan
that
we
put
on
the
Shelf.
We
want
a
master
plan
that
actually
comes
with
some
guidelines
or
sort
of
you
know
some
sequencing
of
how
we
can
start
implementing
okay.
L
I
appreciate
that
I
know
it's
not
a
simple
process.
I
too
wish
this
had
been
done
with
water
features.
Initially,
I
want
to
just
raise
one
more
point,
a
couple
points,
and
then
that
comment
can
I.
I
know
I
brought
this
up
before,
but
when
you,
when
things
happen
at
our
Parks,
the
signage
and
communication
is
so
important
with
our
community.
AO
You
guys
up
now
yeah,
so
we've
installed
some
new
signs
that
are
also
friendly
and
explain.
What's
coming,
as
opposed
to
saying
it's
closed,
and
we
also
have
updates
on
our
website
now
so
for
Victoria
Park
as
well
as
dumuth
park.
It
has
the
preliminary
renderings
of
the
playground,
structures
and
one
of
the
other
vehicles
that
we're
using
as
a
way
to
communicate
to
the
public
about
Parks
and
Rec
are
the
monthly
Parks
and
Rec
commission
meetings.
So
those
are
on
the
fourth
Monday
of
every
month
at
5,
30.
L
L
That
specifically
goes
to
the
renderings
and
the
details,
because
a
lot
of
the
questions
that
I'm
getting
asked
are
on
the
website
or
or
there
and
and
we
don't
actually
tell
people
and
to
go
to
the
city's
website-
is
a
little
confusing,
but
you
could
go
directly
to
the
page.
It
says
this
is
what's
happening
in
the
park.
This
is
what
it's
going
to
look
like
this
is
the
timing.
I
think
it
would
save
save
staff
a
lot
of
time.
L
I
know
this
is
happening
now
with
the
dog
park
too
I
would
I
would
just
point
out.
Not
everybody
knows
where
every
other
Park
In
The
City,
Is
So,
when
you
say
that
there's
another
park
at
demuth
or
the
dog
park
is
at
demuth,
not
everybody.
People
often
know
their
local
park,
so
I
think
that
would
be
something
to
do.
L
I
agree
that
we
should
get
something
I
will
say
just
in
comment
that
I
think
are
parks
with
no
disrespect
to
anyone
really
are
very
substandard
for
our
city
and
I'm.
Glad
I'm
glad
we're
working
on
the
plan
to
make
it
work,
and
this
is
we're
seeing
this
with
the
playgrounds
we've
seen
it
with
the
Swim
Center
we're
seeing
now
with
the
dog
parks,
it
will
come
back
with
pickleball
we're
seeing
it
with
the
sports
Fields,
even
even
the
downtown
park.
L
Also
tourist
attractions
too,
as
well
and
and
and
some
of
these
changes
are
not
that
expensive
or
time
consuming
and
a
lot
of
it
just
takes
some
focus
and
I,
and
probably
staff
as
well.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
being
here
and
and
focusing
on
this
and
this
and
this
progress
and
just
to
know
that
I
know
that
this
council
is
going
to
keep
pushing
for
more
with
our
Parks.
So
thank
you
much.
AP
So
thank
you
a
question
on
the
playground.
The
equipment
that's
coming
in
you
know
I
learned
recently
about
Communications
boards
and
and
how
non-speaking
children
use
the
boards
to
communicate
and
point
to
pictures
on
those
Communications
board
are.
Are
we
including
a
Communications
board
with
each
of
these
sets
of
in
each
of
the
playgrounds.
AM
AQ
Hi,
my
name
is
Bryce
Lawrence
I'm,
a
designer
for
miracle
playground,
sales,
the
sales
rep
from
York
Recreation
on
this
particular
one.
We
don't
have
a
Communications
board.
If
it's
something
you
guys
would
like
to
see,
you
can
definitely
add
it
when
we
design
these
playgrounds.
Excuse
me
would
try
to
be
as
inclusive
as
possible
and
inclusive
means
a
lot
of
different
things
to
a
lot
of
different
people,
but
we
want
to
provide
the
five
senses
for
all
the
kids
ground
level
as
well
as
elevated.
AQ
So
while
we
may
not
have
a
communication
board
specifically
on
these
two
parks,
there
are
other
ways
for
kids
to
interact
non-verbally.
So,
but
if
it's
something
that
we'd
like
to
see,
we
can
definitely
work
up
a
communication
board.
I,
don't
necessarily
know
that
we
have
one
standard,
but
we
do
have
a
great
custom
panel
option
for
our
manufacturer
and
they
can
create
a
custom
panel
for
what
you're
looking
for
yeah.
AQ
AQ
I
can
answer
yes,
I
can
answer
a
few
of
the
questions
that
were
brought
up
here
as
far
as
recyclable
David
was
right
that
the
older
equipment,
because
of
the
the
Plastics,
the
way
that
the
color
was
put
on
it,
it
has
to
go
into
a
landfill,
the
newer
equipment.
They
changed
the
way
they
applied
the
the
color
with
a
powder
now,
so
it
is
actually
recyclable.
We
can
also
provide
a
lead
report
which
shows
all
the
lead
points
that
you
get
back
for
the
recycling
and
the
green
nature
of
the
playground.
AQ
So
we
can
provide
that
for
both
playgrounds.
So
for
you
guys
to
view
not
everything
is
100
recyclable,
I
believe
there
is
a
standard
that
they
try
to
meet
where
about
60
percent
of
the
playground
is
recyclable
depending
on
what
pieces
are
picked,
but
again,
I
can
get
to
a
lead
report
that
would
fill
in
more
on
that
yeah
excellent.
AP
A
K
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
can
you
tell
us
about
the
colors,
so
what
color?
Do
you
typically
see
this?
It's
very
bright
for
me
as
well,
and
so
I
appreciate
the
bright
colors
I
saw
that
there's
a
whole
range.
We
traditionally
have
it's
hard
to
select
colors
as
a
in
a
democratic
process,
because
it's
objective
so
could
you
just
tell
us
what
colors
people
usually
see
if
you
know
how
the
colors
were
selected
and
then
could
you
tell
us
if
you
sell
water
features,
okay,.
AQ
Colors
first,
so
colors
are
across
the
board
when
we
originally
proposed
this.
We
proposed
more
of
a
nature
theme
brown,
green
tan,
which
is
what
most
of
the
parks
here
have
in
Southern
California.
Some
people
want
that
they
kind
of
want
it
to
blend
in
with
the
background,
so
they
they
pick.
Those
colors
I
would
say
more
and
more
we're
seeing
more
of
these
brighter
colors.
AQ
The
idea
is
that,
while
the
natural
color
may
fit
in
with
the
surrounding
area
better,
it's
not
very
exciting
for
children,
so
kids
want
to
see
the
brighter
colors,
and
things
like
that.
So
we
do
tend
to
see
more
of
the
on
this
one
they're
chartreuse
and
a
very
bright
vibrant
colors,
because
it
makes
it
more
exciting.
So
that
is
what
we
tend
to
see
more
now,
but
we
do
still
have
people
that
you
know
do
natural
colors.
They
do
primary
colors
it's
across
the
board
and
we
can
mix
and
match.
AQ
However,
we
feel,
but
you're
right
with
a
democratic
party
on
that
sometimes
there's
a
lot
of
cooks
in
the
kitchen.
So
it's
hard
to
settle
on
one
color
scheme
and
as
far
as
the
water
play,
we
ourselves
do
not
sell
it
anymore,
but
we
have
a
company
that
we
work
very
closely
with.
Actually,
my
uncle
is
the
vice
president
of
that
company
now,
so
we
can
obviously
talk
to
David
and
and
Parks
and
Rec
and
and
get
them
working
together
to
get
that
in
I
will
say.
AQ
Water
play
is
a
lot
more
difficult
to
coordinate
than
playgrounds
playgrounds.
You
basically
put
in
concrete
fittings.
You
build
it
you're
good
to
go
water
play
with
the
state
of
California
there's
a
lot
to
go
into
as
far
as
drainage
and
in
California
they
want
to
see
recirculated
systems
which
are
very
expensive,
very
big
tanks.
So
there's
a
lot
that
goes
into
it.
K
Thank
you
and
thank
you
to
council
member
de
Hart
for
asking
about
Communications
board.
I
would
love
to
see
that
included
if
we're
able
to
easily-
and
it
looks
like
you,
do
you
have
other
adaptive
equipment
here.
It
looks
like
you
have
adaptive
swings
for
kids
in
wheelchairs
and
other
thoughts
that
went
into
making
sure
that
this
is
accessible.
AQ
K
Thank
you
and
just
the
city
staff
and
as
we're
talking
about
this
Parks
plan,
because
when
you
tell
me
a
Parks
master
plan,
I
I
feel
very
worried
because
I
hear
two
years
for
a
plan
that
will
sit
on
the
Shelf.
Excuse
me
and,
and
that's
not
what
we
need
and
so
I
think,
as
we
think
that,
through
a
plan
like
having
short-term
medium
term
and
long-term
improvements
that
we
can
do
like
there
are
a
million
short-term,
very
affordable
things
that
we
could
do
to
significantly
increase
the
enjoyment
of
our
Parks.
A
A
AR
Yes,
Jay
Verrado,
director
of
community
and
economic
development,
and
before
we
get
started,
I'd
like
to
point
out
a
technical
correction
that
needs
to
be
made
in
staff
report
on
the
table
on
page
three.
The
first
number
under
Public
Services
should
be
sixty
two
thousand
and
twenty
six
dollars
instead
of
fifty
five
thousand
dollars.
AR
For
fiscal
year
2024,
the
city
has
been
awarded
a
cdbg
grant
amount
in
the
amount
of
413
506
dollars.
As
discussed
at
previous
City
Council
meetings.
These
funds
are
proposed
to
be
used
for
residential
rehab
program
at
358,
506
dollars,
Fair
Housing
Services
at
fifty
five
thousand
dollars
and
administration
actually
is
a
zero
allocation
and
before
introducing
our
Housing
Services
administrator
who's
with
me,
Ariel
toll
free
Williams
to
discuss
the
residential
rehab
program.
AS
Mayor
mayor,
Pro,
tem
and
city
council,
so
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
residential
rehab
program.
I
spoke
about
it
the
last
time.
We
are
expanding
a
program
that
is
already
in
place
right
now.
The
program
offers
residents
about
fifteen
hundred
dollars
to
make
small
fixes
to
different
things
going
on
their
homes.
Plumbing
different
things
like
that,
but
now
we're
going
to
be
expanding
it
to
making
it
larger.
So
we
can
cover
things
up
to
fifteen
thousand
dollars
for
our
residents,
and
that
includes
Roofing,
siding
air
conditioners.
AS
Things
like
that
things
that
are
in
disrepair,
and
so
we're
really
excited
to
be
able
to
do
that
and
I
know.
Last
time
there
was
a
question
on
how
we're
going
to
advertise
that
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
hit
on
that
point
for
folks.
So
one
of
the
main
things
that
we
do
already
is
work
with
our
code
enforcement
team
very
closely.
AS
They
see
the
residents
every
day
and
they
already
let
them
know
what
programs
we
have
available
and
we
have
already
spoken
to
them
about
how,
in
the
future
they're
going
to
get
new
flyers
and
so
they'll
have
more
information
and
be
able
to
give
their
information
to
us.
And
then,
in
addition
to
that,
we
plan
on
reaching
out
to
1ps
and
we'd
like
to
go
to
meetings
to
talk
to
Neighborhood
Representatives.
AS
So
they
have
that
information
as
well
we'd
like
to
use
the
city's
social
networking
sites,
and
then
we
are
going
to
be
updating
our
website
to
be
more
user
friendly.
So
people
can
find
it
so
mayor,
proton
Bernstein
when
you're
talking
about
the
QR
codes.
Things
like
that
on
the
flyer,
so
people
can
get
directly
to
the
website
instead
of
kind
of
clicking
around
and
trying
to
find
specific
things
like
that,
and
then
we
also
would
like
to
work
with
our
front
desk
staff
because
they
also
field
a
lot
of
calls
that
come
our
Direction.
AS
So
we
want
to
make
sure
they
have
that
information.
And
then
the
city
is
also
listed
with
2-1-1
Riverside
County
as
a
resource
for
various
things,
so
we
will
make
sure
that
they
are
updated
as
well.
So
that
is
the
gist
of
what's
going
on
with
our
residential
rehab
program,
starting
in
the
new
fiscal
year.
AS
So
because
this
is
a
program
for
low
to
moderate
homeowners
generally,
what
we
see
is
first
come
first
serve
works
best.
It's
just
helpful
for
us
on
our
side
to
make
sure
we're
getting
all
the
paperwork
together,
because
this
is
a
federally
funded
program,
there's
kind
of
a
lot
of
paperwork
that
goes
through
it.
So
we
kind
of
want
to
make
sure
that
the
program
just
runs
through
smoothly
and
there's
not
a
large
delay
for
someone
who
could
get
help
while
we're
kind
of
waiting
for
some
other
things.
AS
But
we
definitely
do
take
in
mind,
especially
as
funds
start
to
dwindle.
Like
okay,
we
see
what
this
person
needs
and
you
know
maybe
again
they're
missing
a
whole
window,
or
something
like
that.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
also
helping
not
just
with
the
need
financially,
but
the
need
of
what's
going
on
in
the
home
at
the
end
of
the
program.
Right
now,
when
it
starts,
we
are
going
to
do.
First,
come
first
serve
unless
directed
otherwise.
AS
Especially
something
like
cdbg,
what
I've
seen
in
other
communities,
it
is
always
first
come
first
serve
again
just
because
of
what
happens
on
our
side
with
all
of
the
paperwork
getting
contractors
out
there
and
things
like
that,
it's
easier
just
to
move
forward
to
make
sure
that
we
are
able
to
serve
as
many
residents
as
possible.
Excellent.
Thank
you.
L
AS
Yes,
so
there
is
an
application,
we
are
in
the
process
of
updating
it,
but
it
will
be
updated
on
our
website
by
the
time
fiscal
year
starts,
and
so
the
application
and
there's
information
on
there
on
everything
that's
needed.
So
people
will
have
that
again.
Pay
stubs,
big
statements,
all
of
those
documents.
It
will
all
be
on
the
application
and
they
can
also
call
if
they
have
any
questions
and
we
can
walk
them
through.
L
AS
L
AS
L
L
Only
asking
this
because
I
know
somebody
was
actually
for
another.
The
Monarch
housing
was
trying
to
and
they
were
at
a
public
computer
where
they
couldn't
fill
out
a
PDF
and
I
hadn't
really
thought
about
how
they
would
so
so
we
did
it
for
them.
But
but
yes,
I
would
consider
that
if
the
low
to
moderate
income
is
having
trouble
that
you
know
they
may
have,
they
may
not
have
computers,
they
may.
AJ
L
All
kinds
of
things
so
so
to
take
that
into
account
to
make
it
as
easy
as
possible,
but
I
appreciate
all
the
reach.
The
the
Outreach
I
think
going
to
1ps
and
then
offering
to
go
to
individual
meetings
is
really
helpful
because
those
people
will
know
how
to
reach
their
neighborhood
as
well,
so
obviously
the
door-to-door.
So
thank
you
I
appreciate
it.
K
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
We
heard
public
comment
received
in
writing.
Public
comment
about
rehab
needed
for
mobile
homes
and,
obviously
that's
a
unique
situation,
because
owners
often
own
their
homes,
and
so
will
this
apply
to
mobile
homes
and
then
is
there
State
funding
or
are
there
grants
that
the
city
might
be
able
to
look
at
through
our
Consultants
or
otherwise
to
look
for
mobile
home
repairs,
rehab
or
other
residential
rehab
programs
like
this
to
supplement
our
money?
Since
we
know
it'll
go
really
really
fast
and
it's
not
enough
sure.
AS
So
this
money
can
go
towards
mobile
homes.
There
are
specific
things
that
it
can
work
on.
I
apologize,
I,
don't
have
all
the
repairs
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
that's
certainly
information.
We
can
get
to
you
based
on
the
age
of
some
mobile
homes.
They
don't
qualify
based
on
federal
guidelines,
so
that
is
a
hard
one
to
get
past.
We
can
definitely
look
into
what
other
research
what
other
resources
are
out
there.
A
A

As
the
council
is
aware,
between
1930
and
1965,
the
section
14
property
that
is
held
in
trust
by
the
federal
government
on
behalf
of
the
members
of
the
cuia
band
of
Agua,
Caliente
Indians
and
the
tribe
itself
was
home
to
many
residents,
including
black
indigenous
and
other
minority
residents
during
the
1960s
and
after
changes
in
federal
law
allowed
for
longer
term
leases
of
this
tribal
land.
The
city
of
Palm,
Springs,
assisted
in
the
event
of
section
14
residents.
So
the
section
14
property
could
be
developed
commercially.
M
More
recently
on
September
29th
2021,
the
Palm
Springs
City
Council
considered
an
issue
of
formal
apology
for
the
city's
role
in
evicting
the
individuals
from
section
14
and
at
that
meeting,
directed
additional
work
to
be
done
by
City
staff
and
at
the
meeting
on
November
18th.
The
city
staff
returned
to
the
city
council
with
a
report
to
further
consider
reparations
programs.
M
M
M
M
Eventually,
the
city
did
receive
two
two
proposals
within
the
extended
deadline,
at
which
time
City
staff
began
the
evaluation
process.
The
evaluation
criteria
that
was
considered
by
City
staff
included
the
firm's
experience,
the
team's
experience,
a
demonstration
of
the
understanding
of
the
work,
a
local
preference,
as
well
as
cost
staff,
is
presenting
to
the
city
council,
the
proposed
contract
for
the
trustees
of
Columbia
University
in
the
city
of
New
York
as
the
highest
scoring
proposer.
The
trustees
of
Columbia
University,
along
with
a
team
that
they've
assembled,
has
extensive
experience
in
handling
reparations
for
other
communities.
M
M
The
Consultants
proposed
scope
of
work
involves
a
12-month
process
that
includes
conversations
with
the
city
councils,
whether
as
well
as
other
key
stakeholders.
It
should
be
pointed
out
that
there
are
several
touch
points
with
the
city
council
throughout
this
12-month
process.
So
it's
it's
not
that
the
consultant
would
be
doing
this
in
a
vacuuming.
There
would
be
several
opportunities
for
city
council
to
to
provide
direction
to
the
proposed
consultant.
M
The
RFP
consultant
also
proposes
to
gather
historical
information
from
various
sources,
including
documents
made
available
by
community
members,
public
records
and
newspapers.
The
proposed
scope
of
work
includes
conducting
oral
history
interviews
with
those
impacted
similar
to
the
work
that's
being
done
by
the
state
of
California's
reparations
task
force.
M
Finally,
the
proposed
scope
of
work
includes
an
attempt
to
quantify
the
harms
that
are
alleged
to
have
been
caused
by
the
Redevelopment
of
section
14,
as
well
as
the
development
of
a
draft
proposed
options
which
would
be
ultimately
shared
with
the
city
council
for
consideration
and
feedback.
Finally,
the
city
would
be
asked
to
form
an
independent,
Advisory
Board
per
the
recommendations
of
the
consultant
in
order
to
implement
the
objectives
of
the
plan.
M
I
should
conclude
this
presentation
with
an
indication
that
this
action
should
the
council
choose
to
take.
It
would
align
with
one
of
the
Strategic
plan
items
that
the
city
council
has
previously
adopted,
which
is
for
the
creation
of
a
section,
14
reparations
program,
I
believe
the
city
council
has
been
provided
with
copies
of
both
proposals
by
the
Consultants,
as
well
as
the
proposed
contract.
That
concludes
my
presentation.
M
I'm
certainly
available
to
answer
any
questions
as
well
as
Kim
Baker,
our
procurement
manager,
and
we
also
have
the
lead
consultant
for
the
the
team
Linda
Mann
from
Cambria
University,
who
you
heard
called
up
earlier
during
the
public
comment.
She's
really
on
here
on
Zoom
to
be
able
to
answer
any
questions
the
council
might
have.
L
M
A
good
question,
so
the
the
survivors
of
section
14
and
their
attorney
have
filed
a
government
claim
with
the
city
they
filed
that
in
May
of
2022,
as
well
as
a
document
entitled
an
amended
claim
in
November
of
2022.
A
claim
is,
is
a
prerequisite
to
filing
a
lawsuit
in
California
for
damages
against
the
local
government
entity,
and
so,
while
they
haven't
filed
the
lawsuit
in
court
they
filed.
You
know
the
necessary
prerequisite
documents
in
the
form
of
a
government
claim
with
the
city.
M
In
the
most
recent
claim
in
the
November
2022
document
entitled
an
amended
claim,
that
was
the
claim
in
which
they
alleged
harm
upwards
of
two
billion
dollars.
In
the
earlier
documents,
they
included
claims
of
initially
of
1.5
million
dollars
per
Survivor.
They
revised
that
to
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
per
Survivor.
That
was
back
in
April
of
2022,
so
the
more
recent
one
is
two
billion
up
to
two
billion
dollars.
L
L
M
L
M
L
M
AT
L
AT
Not
that
there's
yes,
it's
very
limited
and
that's
part
of
the
problem.
I
talked
to
all
of
the
other
cities
that
are
working
on
reparations,
tops
top
of
programs.
I
talked
to
Culver
City
I
spoke
to
West,
Hollywood
and
they're,
actually
behind
us
they're
they're
in
the
process,
but
they're
farther
behind
than
we
are
so
they're,
just
starting
their
contextual
studies,
so
they're,
basically
behind
us
and
they've
had
this
same.
Even
finding
someone
to
do
the
historical
contextual
studies,
they've
had
struggles,
they
West
Hollywood
got
one
proposal
for
that.
L
J
M
I
think
that
the
claimants
would
have
a
difficult
time
obtaining
a
judgment
against
the
city
based
on
factors
such
as
the
time
that
has
elapsed
since
the
activities
involving
section
14,
as
well
as
the
fact
that
there
was
actually
a
test
case
in
court
in
State
Court
back
in
the
late
60s,
in
which
the
court
found
that
the
city
had
not
done
anything
wrong.
So
I
think
they
would.
The
claimants
and
the
plaintiffs
in
that
case
would
would
face
a
steep
uphill
battle
if
they
were
in
court.
J
So
if
the
value
of
this
claim
in
civil
court
is,
in
your
opinion,
not
likely
to
prevail,
then
for
us
to
make
a
determination
that
we
need
to
expend
Municipal
funds
Would,
we
not
need
to
identify
specific
wrongs
on
the
part
of
the
city
of
Palm
Springs.
That
and
city
council
would
have
to
come
to
a
majority
opinion
on
those
wrongs
am
I,
correct.
M
I
think
so
and
I
it's
my
understanding
that
at
least
the
previous
direction
from
the
previously
constituted
Council
was
to
to
undertake
that
type
of
a
study
to
find
out.
If,
in
fact,
there
there
had
been
wrong
perpetrated
by
by
the
city
so
and
and
that's
what's
being
presented
in
part.
The
other
part
obviously
of
the
contract
is
if,
if
the
consultant
believes
that
there
are
and
and
presents
us
to
the
council,
then
a
potential
programs
could
be
presented
to
the
council
right.
Thank.
K
K
We
heard
public
comment
about
the
RFP,
which
means
request
for
proposal
for
the
public
and
the
process,
and
why
that
wasn't?
If
it
was
publicly
noticed-
and
all
of
that
so
can
you
just
talk
to
what
process
went
forward
about
how
to
create
the
requests
for
proposals,
how
it
was
decided?
What
was
in
it,
how
it
was
put
out
into
the
public
and
how
those
decisions
were
made
so
that
everyone
understands
where
this
came
from.
AT
Out
you
know
pretty
much
working
with
staff
legal
staff
counsel
to
develop
the
scope
of
work
for
the
solicitation.
It's
been
quite
quite
a
bit
of
time,
refining
that
scope
of
work
and
trying
to
get
it
right.
One
of
the
things
we
knew
we
wanted
to
do
was
focus
on
the
contextual
study.
First,
you
know
we
have
a
lot
of
good
historical
information,
but
the
first
thing
we
want
them
to
do
is
validate
that
information
before
we
do
anything
else,
so
that
was
a
big
part
of
the
scope
in
the
community
engagement
as
well.
AT
So
once
the
scope
was
developed
and
the
RFP
was
ready
to
go,
it
followed
our
normal
process.
It
was
developed.
It
was
published
in
the
newspaper
to
run
two
consecutive
Sundays.
It
was
published
on
our
website.
As
Jeff
mentioned,
there
was
some
attendance
at
a
symposium
to
let
people
know
what
we
were
trying
to
accomplish
and
then
because
it
was
put
out
too
close,
I
think
to
the
holidays,
a
lot
of
people
just
weren't
paying
attention,
and
so
we
did
receive
some
requests.
AT
You
know
if
we
could
allow
more
time,
and
so
we
did
extend
the
time
on
it,
and
then
we
did
receive
the
two
proposals.
As
Jeff
mentioned,
both
proposals
were
very
good
proposals.
The
local
proposal
was
very
good
as
well.
However,
the
local
proposer
just
didn't
have
any
relative
experience
in
this
area,
and
so
the
criteria
required
someone
to
have
experience
with
developing
a
reparations.
Excuse
me
program
and
the
local
proposer
had
a
very
good
plan
to
move
it
forward,
but
did
not
have
the
relative
experience.
AT
So
we
went
through
the
valuation
process.
We
had
an
evaluation
committee
that
evaluated
the
proposals,
scored
the
proposals
we
did
an
interview
with
the
firm.
The
one
firm
met
with
them
extensively
asked
them
a
lot
of
really
good
questions
and
then
move
forward
to
make
the
recommendation
for
the
selection.
K
AT
K
M
And
I
should
point
out
I
believe
I
heard
a
comment
made
about
the
fact
that
the
proposals
were
not
available
to
the
public
or
a
normal
process
as
well
as
most
public
agencies
process
is
until
the
item
is
being
presented
to
council
for
for
final
award.
The
proposals
are
not
made
available,
because
that
would
impact
the
ability
of
the
city
to
negotiate
with
a
proposal.
Thank.
K
You
for
clarifying
that
the
Council
doesn't
typically
see
proposals
until
it's
presented
as
a
package
to
us
so
as
not
to
influence
the
decision.
Thank
you
and
then
so
you
said
that
the
in
this
RFP,
the
Consultants
will
go
through
and
and
collect
histories
and
listen
to
oral
histories
and
review
all
the
history
and
data
and
information
that's
out
there.
So
we
got
some
public
comments,
disputing
facts
that
are
in
the
historical
context,
statement
and
survey
and
other
City
documents.
So
that
is
the
work
that.
AT
Yes,
they
have,
the
majority
of
their
staff
are
researchers,
they
are
excellent.
Expert
researchers
and
that's
a
big
part
of
this
is
to
find
the
facts,
and
so
it
won't
just
be
you
know,
taking
information
from
people
affected,
it's
going
to
be
taking
information
from
the
entire
community
in
whatever's,
available
and
I've
spoken
to
a
lot
of
these
people
that
spoke
today
and
I've
reminded
them.
They
will
be
an
important
part
of
the
process
as
well
if
they
have
facts
and
information
to
share
that
will
also
be
included
in
this
process.
K
Start
with
so
people
who
are
concerned
about
some
facts
that
might
be
incorrect
or
something
like
that
in
the
scope
of
work
or
in
the
request
for
proposals.
The
consultant
wouldn't
be
biased
by
that
information,
because
they
would
go
on
a
full
fact
finding
mission
to
collect
that
information.
Correct.
K
Report,
thank
you,
and
obviously,
staff
I've
been
working
with
staff
on
this
for
a
long
time,
as
many
of
us
have
and
everyone's
doing
their
best
to
put
together
accurate
information.
But
the
problem
is
that
the
information
is
not
collected
in
one
place,
and
so
because
we
haven't
done
this
work,
you
know
anyone's
going
to
be
able
to
find
disagreements
with
some
of
the
facts
and
that's
the
value
of
doing
this
work
for
our
community
to
really
fill
in
Palm
Springs
history
that
is,
has
been
missing
or
has
been
Untold
correct.
Thank
you.
AP
Also,
you
know
where
I'm
challenged
with
the
agreement
that
came
back
is
my
understanding
was
more
that
we
were
looking
at
this
in
two
pieces,
one
that
we
were
really
evaluating
the
the
impact
on
the
the
depth
of
that
harm
and
the
breadth
of
that
harm
that
was
caused
to
people
who
were
identified
to
be
part
of
you
know
this
displacement
and
then
the
other
piece
is
if
there
is
identified
harm
and
it's
it's
historically
documented-
we
know
who
it
is.
We
know
what
it
is.
AP
We
know
what
the
damage
is,
then
there's
part
two
and
that's
a
reparations
program.
So
what
is
that
program
entail
and
I
think
they
are
the
RFP
from
many
people
who've
reached
out
to
me
and
what
we
heard
in
tonight.
It
gives
an
impression
that
we're
doing
step
two
before
we're
doing,
step.
One
and
and
I
really
look
at
item
the
the
directive
from
the
request
for
proposal
from
the
city
that
everybody
had
a
chance
to
bid
on.
AP
AP
We
talk
about
vetting
the
affected
residents,
we
talk
about
identifying
former
residents
and-
and
we
know
that
needs
to
be
done,
but
I
feel
like
we're
we're
missing
what
I
thought
we
had
set
out
to
do,
and
that
was
to
identify
that
the
depth
of
the
harm
and
the
individuals
that
were
harmed
specifically
so
I'm
really
challenged
with
the
proposal.
That's
before
us
and
after
hearing
the
comments
from
our
attorney
tonight,
I
I
really
I,
I,
really
question.
L
Even
today,
we're
still
battling
for
equality
in
all
forms,
and
so
the
idea
of
of
making
a
a
atonement
or
or
reparations
for
people
have
been
heard.
Certainly
something
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense
and
people
of
color
have
probably
had
it.
The
worst
in
in
this
country
and
there's
been
there's
no
question
that
there's
been
other
qualities
and
harm
done
to
people
and
and
a
lot
of
this
goes
up
to
the
federal
level
you
know
in
you
know.
L
Before
we
had
slavery,
we
didn't
have
equal
rights
and
then
so,
but
what's
what
I
what's
at
hand
here,
specifically
the
city's
role
in
the
wrongdoings
and
and
to
the
residents
of
section
14
and-
and
you
know,
while
we
can
try
to
make
amends
for
our
being
complicit
with
national
issues.
That's
that's
not
really
what
I
think
is
be
I,
think
sort
of
beyond
the
scope.
L
L
What
we're
really
in
need
of
is
to
have
a
real
we've
seen
this
today
and
I've
seen
it
in
many
different
meetings
that
there's
a
lot
of
different
opinions
on
this
and
and
there's
a
lot
of
different
facts
and
the
city
is
still
coming
up
and
finding
you
know
new
facts,
and
so
we
really
do
need
this
in-depth
research.
So
we
can
make
an
appropriate
recommendations
either
on
how
to
repair
specifically
what
we
may
have
been
responsible
for
and
I.
L
Absolutely
think
that
you
know
if
we
have
direct
responsibility,
but
I
also
think
we
have
a
responsibility
for
community
and-
and
you
know
they
may
have
been
legally
evicted.
It
may
not
have
been
our
property,
but
there
were
different
areas
of
the
city
that
were
not
treated
well.
When
they
had
to
go
there.
I
know
we
talked
to
one
person
who
was
able
to
buy
a
home
and
that's
great,
but
a
lot
of
people
were
redlined,
they
couldn't
get
loans
and
you
know
and
no
matter
what
path
we
take
in
this.
L
The
agreement
that
everybody
can
make
is
that
they
want
the
facts
heard
and
I've
heard
that
actually
that
was
Universal
from
everybody
who
spoke
today
and,
as
everybody
spoke
now,
they
may
have
a
different
view
of
what
they
think
the
facts
are,
but
they
all
want
the
facts
to
be
heard
and
I
I
do
not
think
that
this
proposal,
as
it
was
actually
requested,
and
certainly
not
as
it's
been
responded.
It's
coming
up
with
really
just
historical
context
and
objective
facts
about
what
happened,
and
it's
going
to
lead
as
council
member
de
Hart
said
through.
L
The
second
Collision
is
how
to
make
reparations
for
this,
and
and
I
would
like
to
come
up
with
something
that
actually
works.
You
know
I,
don't.
This
is
not
something
that
I
want
to
drag
out
forever
and
I
certainly
think
that
if
we're
going
to
get
researchers
to
help,
there's
a
lot
of
universities
out
there,
where
there's
people
who
are
interested
in
doing
objective
research,
I,
don't
know
how
we
reach
them.
L
I,
don't
think
they're
looking
at
Planet
bids,
so
I
don't
and
no
disrespect
to
anybody
again,
it's
just
hard
to
reach
people
who
might
have
expertise
in
this,
but
that's
something
that
we
really
should
try
to
do
and
I
think
we
should
be
clear.
This
is
an
objective
Research
into
the
the
historical
context
and
separate,
and
apart
from
whatever
recommendations,
would
then
be
made.
So
it's
unfortunate
that
it
was
done
this
way.
L
I,
don't
I
want
to
keep
moving
forward,
but
I
don't
believe
that
this
organization
is
the
right
one
to
to
lead
us
down
this.
The
path
where
we
want
to
go
where
we'll
come
up
with
a
really
good
solution
that
that
works
best
for
the
entire
city,
especially
for
the
ones
who
have
been
been
harmed,
but
also
for
the
entire
city,
and
our
duty
is
as
council
members
is
to
all
the
residents.
L
So
my
my
view
is
that
we
need
to
go
back
and
find
an
independent
person
to
do
the
historical
context
and,
and
then
we,
these
people.
The
a
lot
of
these
organizations
that
are
part
of
this
group
here
seem
to
be
great,
at
working
with
municipalities
and
working
on
on
actual
reparations
programs
and
different
options
for
that,
and
that
that
part
might
be
better.
But
until
we
have
the
actual
historical
facts
and
research
out
I,
don't
think
that
we
should
be
starting
to
talk
to
an
organization
that
really
advocates
for
for
reparations.
L
J
J
J
Springs
and
I
can
feel
very
comfortable
in
standing
in
front
of
the
public
and
saying
we
did
this
wrong
and
we
have
an
obligation
to
make
amends
for
what
we
did
wrong.
But
I
think
we
have
to
have
consensus
as
to
what
it
was
specifically
that
we
did
wrong
and
I
don't
believe
we
had
that
consensus.
Today
we
have
achieved
consensus
that
there
were
wrongs
performed
by
the
city
of
Palm
Springs.
AP
AP
My
concern
tonight
that
I'm
expressing
is
based
on
the
fact
that
we
have
acknowledged
some
wrongs.
We
have
acknowledged
that
the
city
had
a
role
and
we
apologized,
but
to
take
it
to
the
next
step.
Now
we
we
have
to
have
a
thorough
assessment
of
the
the
harms
that
were
done
and
clearly
identifying
the
individuals,
the
property,
the
the
the
impact
of
that
destruction
and
that's
where
I'm
I'm
not
getting
to
that
point
with
this
consultant
agreement
tonight,
so
I
I
will
not
be
able
to
support
the
the
agreement.
A
AT
Me,
okay!
Go
ahead!
Sorry,
it's
a
little
mind-boggling
to
me
because
that
was
part
of
the
scope.
That's
what
I'm
struggling
with
it's
it's
in
1.2
D.
The
first
thing
we
asked
them
to
do
was
to
look
at
the
historical
context.
Now.
The
reason
why
we
didn't
ask
them
to
do
it
from
scratch
is
because
there's
so
much
information,
that's
already
out
there
that
we're
providing
them
and
by
not
having
them
do
it
from
scratch
was
saving
the
city
money.
So
the
idea
was
take
the
information.
That's
out
there
everywhere.
AT
All
of
these,
this
information
stuff
that's
been
found
historical
records
that
have
been
found
and
researched
that
and
determine
what
the
facts
are.
That
is
Step
number
one
I
just
want
to
make
sure
before
we
say
do
over
that.
You
understand
that
that
is
the
first
step
in
the
process
and
you
could
say
to
them
at
that
point.
Stop
that's
enough!
AT
We
heard
we've
seen
the
facts.
We
don't
need
you
to
do
anything
else,
so
I
guess
I.
Just
don't
I
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
what
your
all
your
options
are,
because
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
thinking
that
they
they're
not
doing
that.
That
is
a
the
biggest
part
of
their
scope,
is
to
do
that
and
I
get
the
concept
totally
that
someone
who
advocates
for
this
could
not
be
objective,
because
it's
one
of
the
first
comments
that
I
made
to
Mr
Ballinger
when
the
proposals
came
in.
AT
A
You
that
can
we
just
have
City
attorney
Bellinger.
Can
you
speak
a
little
bit
about
this
process
and
what
exactly
this
contract
will
detail
so
that
we
can
determine
if
there
is
interest
from
the
council
and
moving
forward,
because
I
think
they're,
based
on
what
we're
hearing
right
now,
I
think
there
is
some
confusion:
yeah.
M
The
council
is
looking
for
a
very
objective
analysis
of
the
of
the
history
and
then
we'll
undertake
it
a
a
look
at
potential
reparations
programs
and,
if
that's
actually,
what
the
council
is
looking
to
do.
I
would
ask
the
council
if
the
because
I
think
I
heard
at
least
one
council
member
suggests
that
maybe
we
just
have
one
person,
do
this
contextual
investigation
and
then
have
it?
Maybe
another
consultant
or
group
help
the
city
with
the
second
part,
which
is
developing
the
reparations
program.
L
I
think
that
is
probably
close
to
what
I
today
I
think
is
that
I
understand
that
it
was
the
first
part
of
the
of
the
RFP,
but
it's
also
in
the
RFP.
It
says
and
developer
reparations
program,
so
I
think
the
people
who
are
by
definition,
going
into
doing
the
research
of
people
who
understand
reparations
programs
which
are
historical
researcher,
may
not
be
able
to
do
at
all
right,
and
so
that's
where
I
think
the
confusion
comes
in,
is
that
it
wasn't
and
again
this
wasn't
that
I'm
saying
it
was
badly.
L
We
should
have
separated
it
just
to
do
the
historical
research,
because
I
mean
you
know
the
we
have
survivors.
We
have
a
lot
of
Records
the
cities
found
records,
I
mean
there
are
different
people
who
have
different
points
of
view
who
have
records.
The
Historical
Society
has
records,
and
really
what
we
want
to
do
is
get
that
that
research
done
and
then
Council
can
come,
and
we
may
decide
that
you
know
what
we
can
see
exactly
what
we
should
do
here.
We
can.
L
We
don't
need
someone
to
come
with
the
next
part,
although
these
people
are
experts
and
they
can
certainly
help
but
I
think
that's
how
we
should
do
it
and
separate
it
and
make
a
concerted
effort
to
find
people
who
are
just
historical
archivists,
not
that
these
people
aren't,
but
but
they
also
are
reparations
Advocates.
So,
let's
find
somebody
who
is
just
some
who
are
there
other
people
who
are
just
historical
archivists
that
could
help
us
do
this
research
so
that
we
have
the
facts
and
again
I
agree
with
with
council
member
art
we
want
to.
L
A
Just
one
comment
on
that:
I
think
you
know
you
can
have
someone
research
and
present
the
factual
information
as
they
see
it,
but
you
still
need
analysis
beyond
that
right.
It's
not
just
here
are
the
facts.
We
need
to
have
a
context
of
those
facts.
We
need
to
be
understanding
the
history
of
of
our
nation
in
terms
of
race
relations
and
racism
and
segregation
and
redlining
there's
a
lot
more.
That
goes
into
it
than
simply
presenting
a
historic
account
of
what
happened.
A
A
Think
that's
very
important,
so
I
I
am
interested
in
finding
out
if
what
we
can
do
to
either
amend
this
contract
to
move
forward
or,
if
I
think
I'm
hearing
that
maybe
this
is
just
not
the
right
group
for
the
majority
of
the
council
and
if
that's
the
case,
then
then
again
adjusting
the
RFP
and
and
moving
forward
in
a
different
way.
But
I
I
do
want
to
just
State
for
the
record
that
I
do
think.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we
are
not
separating
out
things
too
much
and.
L
K
You
so
looking
at
the
scope
of
work
and
I
was
trying
to
follow
along
with
the
council
members
about
which
was
objectionable.
I
know
you,
council,
member
de
heart,
read
out
parts
of
the
scope
of
work,
so
on
page
17
for
it's
under
1.2
scope
under
the
scope
of
work
is
primarily
what
we're
looking
at.
So,
as
you
noted,
D
is
historical
context.
K
So
I've
circled
that,
because
I
think
I
heard
a
majority
of
council
saying
we
want
historical
context,
research
done
and
then
I'm
looking
to
see.
You
know,
like
e,
is
research
vetting
of
effective
res
residents
of
section
14..
That
might
be
what
was
described
as
phase
two
I'm,
not
sure
so
I'm
just
wondering
if
we
can
look
through
this
list
and
see
what
we
might
want
to
be
included
in
the
scope
of
work.
Just
for
the
public
councils,
don't
usually
work
on
the
scope
of
work
right.
Y
K
AT
This
one
was
unique
because
we
knew
the
sensitivities
of
it
and
we
wanted
to
get
it
right,
so
we,
this
is
like
in
the
two
years,
I've
been
here,
the
only
time
we've
ever
gone
through
this
with
council
members,
but
we
actually
did
go
through
this
with
the
past
Council
to
develop
this
scope
of
work
in
this
manner.
Every
word
mattered
and
we
spent
a
lot
of
time
on.
K
It
thank
you
and
if
I
could,
because
I
just
want
to
stay,
and
it's
so
hard
to
serve
in
this
role,
because
we
have
to
represent
Palm
Springs
now
and
we're
representing
our
districts.
All
of
us
are
districted,
so
we're
representing
our
district
now
and
we're
representing
all
of
Palm
Springs
and
we're
also
representing
the
agency
and
so
I
think
it's
Undisputed
that
the
agency,
the
city
of
Palm
Springs,
had
a
role
to
play,
enforced
evictions
and
removals
of
people,
especially
people
of
color
in
section
14.
K
in
the
60s,
and
that
that
had
ongoing
effects
on
those
communities,
especially
because
of
redlining
and
and
limitations
and
discrimination,
racial
discrimination
of
where
people
could
go
so
just
to
be
clear
about
where
we've
been,
because
it
does
feel
I'm
getting
some
messages
like
didn't.
We
already
do
some
of
this
haven't
we
already
decided
this
as
a
city,
and
so
I
appreciate
and
I'll
be
respectful
that
we
have
a
new
Council
and
you
have
to
come
into
this
part
way
and
you
deserve
a
voice
and
we
want
to
have
consensus
definitely.
K
But
the
council
did
vote
to
support
reparations
a
program.
We've
had
extended
conversations
about
that.
We
issued
an
apology,
so
we've
admitted
wrongdoing
on
part
of
the
city
for
whatever
that
involvement
was
I,
agree
that
I
want
the
full
historical
record.
I
think
it's
an
important
part
of
California
history
in
this
Regional
history
and
I.
Very
much
would
like
to
see
it
documented
I'd
love
to
see
those
oral
histories
collected
I.
K
Think
that
we'll
be
looking
back
50
years
100
years
and
telling
this
story
as
part
of
California
history,
a
dark
period
of
California
history,
so
I
just
say
that
to
say
I,
don't
we
don't?
Our
residents
are
sitting
here
watching
us
debate.
This
don't
deserve
us
to
try
to
relitigate
this
we've
extended
numerous
hours
of
Staff
time
and
Public's
time
doing
this
and
I
just
don't
want
to
move
backwards
and
that's
what
you're
saying
is
the
council
had
already
this
Council?
K
Not
this
current
one,
but
the
city
council,
Palm
Springs,
had
looked
at
this
scope
and
approved
it,
and
so
here
we
are
so
I
think
if
we
could
just
I
know,
we
have
also
Colombia
on
the
line
if
I
could
hear
from
them
because
dying
to
speak.
I
would
very
much
like
to
hear
from
the
professional
who
does
this
she's
heard
the
concerns
from
Council
about
objectivity
and
neutrality
and
how
to
get
a
historical
basis
and
the
phases
of
this
and
I'd
love
to
just
hear
from
her.
K
If
she
has
a
response,
I
will
note
that,
just
to
be
clear,
the
scope,
the
RFP
and
the
agreement
has
a
30-day
termination
clause
for
any
reason
right,
so
the
city
could
engage
and
then
say.
Actually
we
think
this
is
coming
from
a
biased
place
or
we
don't
think
that
we
think
this
is
advocacy
on
behalf
of
the
survivors
that
we
didn't
want.
We
wanted
a
more
objective
process.
We
could
cancel
the
contract
at
any
time
right.
Yes,
you
could.
Okay.
Can
we
just
hear
from
her?
Please
staff.
AT
AL
AL
Yes,
of
course,
and
first
of
all,
I
just
want
to
state
that
I
recognize
the
I
I'm
listening
to
all
of
you.
First,
let
me
just
start
with
that.
I
am
listening
to
each
and
everyone's
concerns
and
I
think
that
it's
really
important
that
you
know
that
the
work
that
we
do
is
not
exempt
of
anybody's
voices.
AL
It's
interesting,
you
had
already
kind
of
done
some
background
work,
I,
don't
know
if
anybody's
gone
to
the
National,
Archives
and
records
and
administration
in
DC,
but
it's
a
place.
We've
already
started
to
actually
kind
of
take
a
peek,
because
the
Bureau
of
Indian
Affairs
is
there
and
certainly
a
place
where
the
documentation
needs
to
be
researched.
To
be
better
understand
how
this
was
situated
within
the
historical
context
of
what
was
occurring
at
the
time,
so
due
diligence
is
at
the
Forefront
of
everything
we
do
again.
AL
AL
AL
It's
you
know
it's.
It's
there's
five
categories
of
different
types
of
repair.
It
can
be
Rehabilitation,
it
can
be
truth-telling
where
people
in
communities
gather
together
to
understand
the
history
as
a
community,
so
I
just
I'm,
not
sure
the
propensity,
the
feeling
that
we
have
a
bias
towards
reparations
I
would
say
we
have
a
through
line
in
which
we
look
at
history,
the
research,
the
historical
context
and
then
look
at
the
impact
and
then
think
about
ways
to
move
forward
in
a
community.
AL
AL
I
would
say
to
you
that,
whatever
research
process
that
you
explore,
this
piece
of
the
history
is
not
going
to
go
away.
It's
something
that
needs
to
be
further
investigated
and
further
understood
and
and
done
in
the
spirit
of
community
and
working
alongside
all
stakeholders
to
develop
a
better
understanding
for
the
public
to
better
make
a
better
understanding
for
The
Descendants
and
those
who
were
removed.
K
Thank
you
and
if
I
could
ask
questions
so
as
we're
looking
at
this
scope,
and
we
have
what's
proposed
as
a
12-month
program.
So
could
you
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
maybe
the
phases
of
the
project,
and
so
what
would
be
first,
what
would
be?
Second,
what
would
be
those
early
stages?
The
city
council
is
looking
at
the
scope
of
work
to
see
what
we
might
want
include
what
the
majority
might
want
included
and
not
included
yet.
AL
Yeah,
the
entire
first
section
is
completely
focused
on
historical
analysis,
vetting
and
research,
so
everything
about
the
Forefront
is
going
to
be
going
to
the
archives
as
I
shared
going
to
the
archives
going
to
to
Los
Angeles.
We
know
that
there's
documentation
there,
we'd
like
to
be
looking
at
going
to
Legacy
institutions
that
exist
in
the
city
of
Palm
Spring
meeting
with
individuals
who
are
who
are
descendants
or
who
were
removed,
who
understand
their
histories
and
do
the
oral
histories.
AL
AL
AL
Then
the
last
piece
would
just
be
policy
recommendations
again
if
the
RFB
very
specifically
States
that
we
would
be
only
making
recommendations-
and
it
will
really
be
up
to
the
city
council
to
determine
whether
any
of
those
policies
or
policies
you
act
upon
or
not.
I
will
say
up
front
also,
as
noted
there's
a
significant
piece
of
community
engagement,
so
creating
public
dialogue
among
all
of
the
stakeholders,
like
I,
said
the
city,
the
section
14
members,
but
also
the
General
Public,
so
that
there's
a
better
public
understanding
of
this
history.
A
A
M
A
K
K
We
apologize
for
our
role.
We
know
that
there
was
wrongdoing
and
this
city
council
majority
of
it,
said
that
we
wanted
to
do
a
reparations
program
and
so-
and
we
know
the
urgency
as
so
many
other
residents
are
aging
and
I'm
starting
a
whole.
We
put
out
this
RFP
November
2022
were
almost
six
months
out.
It's
just
adding
many
many
months
to
this
process.
I
would
have
loved
to
so
I
object
to
this
result,
I
would
very
much
like
to
see
us
move
forward.
K
L
So
that's
why
I
think
it's
a
it's
it's
it's
I
do
I
do
think
we
need
to
go
for
a
step
forward,
but
an
advocacy
group
I,
don't
think,
will
be
as
objective
in
going
through
the
historical
context
and
I
would
like
to
know
because
we
may
find
the
city
is
not
liable
for
a
lot
of
things.
You
know
for
that
much,
but
we
may
want
to
do
more
than
that.
Sorry,
we
don't
want
to
do
more
than
that
for
the
community
that
suffered,
as
as
the
mayor
said
from
what
would
be.
L
You
know
his
racism
in
in
our
country
overall.
That
may
not
have
been
as
a
result
of
our
specific
actions.
So
that's
where
I
come
out
and
I
and
I,
don't
I,
don't
want
to
make
it
I,
don't
want
to
seem
like
I,
don't
want
to
do
any
reparations
or
make
good
for
what
the
city
make
good
for
the
wrongs
the
city
did.
I
do
but
I
want
to
have
the
historical
context
done
in
a
in
a
better
fashion.
A
M
A
Thank
you,
and
so
just
for
the
record
as
well.
I
think
that
this
process
is
taking
too
long
and
I'm,
not
convinced
that
even
spending
12
months,
which
was
what
was
in
this
proposal,
would
actually
change
the
result
of
what
we
would
ultimately
do,
and
so
I
am
very
concerned
that
this
will
continue
to
go
on
and
on
and
never
actually
be
resolved
and
I
do
think
that
the
what
we
had
in
front
of
us
was
sufficient
and
could
be
modified
for
us
to
move
forward.
Instead
of
delaying
the
process.
A
A
A
So
I
want
to
go
ahead
and
get
started
on
our
next
item.
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
item
3B
to
approve
additional
funding
in
the
amount
of
three
million
dollars
for
Development
and
Construction
of
the
aloe
Palm
Canyon
project
located
at
1479
North
Palm
Canyon
Drive,
a
71
unit
senior
housing
project
in
the
city
of
Palm
Springs.
We
have
a
staff
report.
Please.
AR
Thank
you
mayor
mayor
Pro,
tem
and
council
members,
Jay
verratta,
director
of
community
and
economic
development
tonight,
you're
being
asked
to
consider
a
request
from
the
developer
to
provide
an
additional
three
million
dollars
of
financial
assistance
to
the
aloe
Palm
Canyon
project.
You
will
recall
this
project
is
located
in
the
southwest
corner
of
North,
Palm,
Canyon
and
Stevens
Road
and
is
for
the
development
of
71,
affordable
senior
housing
units,
including
25
permanent
supportive
units.
AR
Our
developer
representative
is
also
here
in
the
audience
tonight.
If
you
would
like
to
ask
questions
later
in
this
presentation,
I
would
like
to
point
out
that
the
agreements
currently
provides
a
developer
with
land,
valued
at
1.4
million
and
financial
assistance
in
the
amount
of
2.6,
which
is
rather
2
million.
Six
hundred
four
three
hundred
dollars,
of
which
two
million
dollars
is
State.
Grant,
hhap
funds
and
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
is
former
Redevelopment
agency
housing
funds.
So
neither
of
these
are
general
fund
and
can
only
be
spent
for
affordable
housing
or
homelessness.
AR
There
are
several
factors
that
have
led
to
this
situation.
As
you
can
imagine,
affordable
housing
development
in
this
day
and
age
is
probably
more
complex
and
involved
with
moving
parts
and
changing
circumstances
than
it's
ever
been
one
of
those
being
that
contracts
for
construction
work
were
bid
at
the
height
of
the
lumber
crisis.
AR
However,
the
level
of
competition
for
affordable
housing
is
highly
competitive.
In
fact,
in
the
latest
round
of
applications
for
just
the
Inland
Empire
region,
seven
out
of
nine
project
applications
received
a
perfect
score
of
120.,
and
only
one
of
the
seven
projects
was
awarded
tax
credit
funding,
the
aloe
project
scored
119,
meaning
it
would
still
have
to
compete
with
the
other
six
projects
for
future
tax
funding.
AR
AR
AR
AR
Yes,
in
the
current
Year's
budget,
the
city
council
had
allocated
10
million
dollars
for
affordable
housing.
So
it's
proposed
that
this
three
million
dollars
would
come
out
of
that
10
million
that
was
approved
in
the
budget.
It's
called
the
affordable
housing
set
aside.
That
would
be
used
to
assist
this
project.
AR
I'm
going
to
ask
the
developer
to
come
and
help
out,
but
I
can
tell
you:
there
is
qualifications
based
on
income
and
the
income
levels
vary.
Some
of
them
are
considered
to
be
very
low
at
20
percent
of
the
area
median
income,
and
it
goes
all
the
way
up
to
80
percent
of
the
area
median
income,
so
it
is
varied
in
that
sense,
a
new
athletes.
Thank
you.
Thank.
AU
You
Jay,
so
we
we
do
have
a
tenant
selection
plan.
That's
you
know,
worked
with
the
local
agencies
and
that
the
key
is
to
make
sure
that
it
obligates
and
satisfies
all
fair
housing
laws,
and
if
there
is
a
priority
to
house
local
residents,
one
of
the
ways
you
can
move
forward
with
that
is
Consulting
with
a
fair
housing
attorney
and
they
can
review
your
marketing
and
Outreach
plan
to
see
if
there's,
if
it's
consistent
with
all
the
fair
housing
laws.
AU
The
city
of
Santa
Monica
has
also
you
know,
elected
to
have
their
own
waiting
lists
and
that
allows
them
to
control
the
application
process
and
you
know
focused
on
the
marketing
component.
So
you
know
for
for
us.
We
we
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
abiding
by
all
fair
housing
laws.
The
way
we
distribute
and
Market
the
plan
is,
you
know,
Incorporated
with
the
local
non-profits
we're
working
with
so
we're
working
with
Mazel
and
Heritage
Senior
Care
in
city
of
Palm
Springs,
and
we
would
have
Flyers.
AU
That
would,
you
know,
be
circulated
at
you
know
other
non-profit
agencies,
but
schools,
as
well
as
where
areas
where
seniors
might
congregate.
Like
public
libraries,
we
would
also,
you
know,
provide
advertisements
and
newspapers
and
then
social
media.
Maybe
next
door
is
an
option
or
Facebook.
So
that's
something
that
gets
sorted
out
as
we
move
forward
with
the
marketing
and
Lisa
process.
AU
AP
J
AU
J
AU
So
one
of
one
of
the
challenges
affordable
housing
developers
face
is
that,
because
we
are
typically
provided
Public
Funding
for
most
of
our
projects,
we
have
to
use
higher
wages
for
the
labor
of
the
project.
It's
usually
agreement
with
all
the
union
trades
that
are
associated
with
the
local
jurisdiction,
but
we're
paying
residential
prevailing
wages
on
this
project
and
that's
an
average
of
about
10
to
15
percent
on
the
construction
costs.
AU
In
addition,
you
know
we're
working
with
more
extended
timelines,
so
our
pre-development
costs
are
typically
longer
than
what
a
market
rate
developer
would
typically
use.
We
try
to
you
know,
make
the
numbers
work
as
much
as
possible
like
we're,
not
incurring
any
additional
developer
fee,
even
though
our
project
increased
in
budget.
AU
But
you
know
there's
only
so
many
things
we
can
do
so
we
did
reduce
the
construction
budget
by
three
and
a
half
million,
with
still
keeping
the
Integrity
of
the
design
in
Tech,
but
there's
just
a
lot
of
issues
outside
of
our
control,
and
so
it's
challenging
as
affordable
housing
developer,
and
it
is
true
that
the
costs
are
a
little
higher
than
market
rate.
But
I
don't
know
if
it's
that
much
higher
in
this
current
climate.
AU
K
I,
actually,
don't
think
we've
had
any
market
rate
Apartments
built
in
this
city
for
a
long
time
right,
and
so
the
problem
is
that
it's
not
penciling
on
the
market
side,
Coachella,
Valley,
Housing,
Coalition
and
and
sorry
not
Coachella,
Valley,
Housing,
Coalition,
The,
Building,
Association
tracks.
How
many
permits
are
pulled
in
the
Coachella
Valley
for
apartment
apartments,
and
it's
very
very
few,
and
so
that's
a
significant
issue.
We
need
to
address
just
the
cost
of
building
housing
overall.
Thank
you
so
much
for
this
project.
K
Thank
you
for
being
here,
sorry
that
it's
probably
pretty
late
for
you,
as
you
probably
drove
in
I
great
work
on
this
project.
I
know
it's
a
difficult
time.
We've
had
a
number
of
private
luxury
development
projects
like
Hotel
projects,
go
under
or
claim
that
they
can't
continue
because
of
the
pandemic
and
you've
carried
on
even
with
all
of
these
increased
costs,
and
we
know
that
we're
subsidizing,
a
4,
affordable
housing
for
55
years
and
longer,
hopefully
in
this
city,
and
that's
so
valuable
to
us.
So
thank
you,
and
especially
to
our
residents.
K
I,
had
a
question
about
permanent
Supportive
Housing.
So
I
know
that
you
have
so
either
today
or
to
you
to
the
developer.
I,
see
that
you're
doing
low
income
very
low
income
and
I
know
we're
trying
to
balance
our
Arena
needs
for
the
public.
Our
Regional
Housing
needs
allocation
of
the
number
of
units
we
have
to
develop
and
you
have
25
permanent
Supportive
Housing
for
people
who
are
exiting
homelessness
with
Supportive
Services.
So
I
got
a
question
from
the
public
about
if
the
city
is
providing
3
million
more.
K
If
there's
you
know
and
you're
probably
pretty
far
along
in
this
project
to
be
reallocating
units,
but
I
did
get
a
question
of
the
city's
allocating
more
dollars.
Is
there
other
benefits
to
the
city
other
than
all
these
units
that
we
so
desperately
need?
You
know
are
there?
Is
there
are
a
consideration
of
doing
more
permanent
Supportive
Housing
units
on
the
project
itself?
K
Since
we
keep
hearing,
we
just
had
a
meeting
with
the
county
today.
I
know
you've
been
working
closely
with
the
county,
but
we
heard
that's
the
biggest
need
for
the
throughput,
so
people
have
housing
at
the
end
of
the
day,
knowing
that
they
can.
The
city
is
developing
a
navigation
Center
and
we
need
to
place
those
people
in
permanent
housing.
K
AU
So
I
think
you
know,
there's
always
trade-offs
and
you
can
focus
completely
on
permanent
Supportive
Housing,
but
at
the
expense
of
low-income
housing.
Households
in
you
know
part
of
the
challenge
is
that
if
you
don't
provide
housing
for
these
residents,
then
they're
also
in
Jeopardy
of
losing
their
homes
and
then
becoming
homeless
as
well,
and
so
we
like
to
have
a
broad
range
of
residents,
especially
this
is
our
first
project
in
Palm
Springs,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
providing
adequate
services
and
programming
needs.
AU
A
third
of
our
overall
portfolio
is
for
senior
housing
and
we
provide
residence
services
for
senior
households
that
are
low
income
eligible.
So
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
offer
those
services
and
if
it's
all
permanent,
Supportive
Housing,
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
be
the
service
provider.
We'd
have
to
Outsource
those
Services
either
to
the
the
County
of
Riverside,
Behavioral
Health.
Excuse
me,
University
of
Riverside
behavioral
health
or
the
AIDS
adaptive
project.
AU
AU
L
AU
They
have
a
strict
timeline
to
close
a
project
by
June
26th,
and
if
we
don't
make
that
timeline,
those
funds
will
be
reallocated
elsewhere
and
then
we're
so
we're
essentially
back
at
square
one
where
you
know
I,
think
you
know,
we've
contemplated
whether
or
not
this
project
would
move
forward
at
all
it.
It's
really
you
know
driven
a
lot
because
of
Jay
and
Ariel
and
Scott
Styles.
So
I
really,
you
know
thank
you
for
your
patience
and.
L
AU
L
AR
So
it's
structured
in
that
way,
plus
it
gives
a
city
a
little
more
leverage
in
terms
of
being
able
to
make
requests
on
the
project
and
developer,
say:
maintenance
Etc,
although
most
of
our
developers,
have
been
very
good
with
being
responsible,
but
the
the
challenge
with
that
is
that's
a
loan
that
would
be
behind
yeah
35
million
dollars.
Okay,
so.
L
L
L
L
L
V
L
L
M
L
So
I
mean
I,
certainly
think
that's
that's
what
we
should
do
in
this
project
and
I
think
we've
seen
other
projects
I
mean.
Obviously
you
could
work
with
myself
and
we
have
other
organizations
out
out
here
that
are
probably
great
for
for
finding
finding
people
who
who
would
use
this.
Who
would
need
this
so
I
would
like
to
add
that
local
preference
in
there
to
whatever
we
can
do
legally
and
ensure
also
the
marketing
and
then
lastly
ensure
that
we
actually
have
somebody
who
helps
people
apply.
L
Okay,
so
I
would
like
to
have
this.
You
know
a
real
marketing
plan
come
back
when
on
on
this
and
and
how
we
can
get
our
local
preference
in
there
and
get
our
our
Palm
Springs
residents,
especially
since
we're
now
investing
more
money
on
it.
But
I
do
like
this
project
and
I'm
glad
you
brought
this
and
and
and
I
can't
wait
to
see
it
open
great.
Thank
you.
J
A
L
Okay,
so
the
only
other
thing
I
want
to
raise
is
that
we
did
keep
talking
about
a
portion
of
our
affordable
of
our
tot
vacation
rental
to
come
to
go
towards
affordable
housing.
Somehow
it
keeps
disappearing
from
our
agenda.
I
would
like
to
see
that
come
back
because
we're
going
to
have
these
projects
and-
and
we
don't
you-
know-
we're
going
into
budget
season-
it'd
be
nice
to
know
that
we
could
have
a
continuation
of
funds
for
affordable
housing,
which
is
going
to
be
quite
expensive
and
I.
Think
that
would
be
a
non-controversial
thing.
K
K
Lift
to
rise
in
the
County
of
Riverside
is
doing
a
loan
loss,
Reserve
program
where
they're
holding
funds
and
then
loaning
them
out
to
affordable
housing
developers
or
anyone
doing
affordable
housing
and
they're
trying
to
fill
in
the
gaps.
When
things
like
this
happen,
where
you
know
your
need
additional
financing
to
really
close
those
gaps
and
fund
these
projects,
I
did
check
with
them
to
see
if
they
were
available
to
fund
this
project
to
fill
your
Gap
and
they
said
they're
not
able
to
they're
extended,
but
I
have
asked
Council
publicly
and
I'll.
K
Ask
again
I
know
we're
doing
a
study
session
on
how
to
spend
that
now,
seven
million
dollars
and
I'd
love
to
see
us
hold
some
of
that
money
in
this
in
this
Regional
for
the
Coachella
Valley
Loan
program
for
affordable
housing,
because
it's
revolving.
So
that
means,
if
we
put
three
million
dollars
into
that
fund,
they
would
loan
it
out
multiple,
multiple
times
and
not
just
use
it
on
one
project
but
use
it
on
many.
Many
more.
It
just
amplifies
the
power
of
our
money.
K
So
when
we
consider
that
spending-
and
hopefully
we'll
have
a
money
coming
into
it
all
the
time
from
our
tot
thanks
to
Mayor
Pro
tem,
we
can
also
consider
getting
information,
at
least
from
left,
to
rise
in
the
County
of
Riverside
in
their
program.
I
think
it's
been
pretty
successful,
but
I'd
love
to
get
objective
information
from
staff
about.
If
that
is
something
we
would
want
to
consider
when
you
do
have
money,
you
get
requests.
This
is
we
got
this
one?
K
A
M
Honorable
mayor
members
of
the
city
council,
in
response
to
the
increase
in
demand
of
third-party
food
delivery
services
in
October
of
2020
during
the
covid
pandemic,
the
city
council
enacted
urgency
ordinance
number
2033,
which
temporarily
placed
a
limit
on
charges
that
are
imposed
by
third
party
food
delivery
services
on
retail
food
establishments.
The
point
of
this
ordinance
at
the
time
was
to
promote
the
use
of
those
Services
when
folks
were
not
able
to
freely
dine
out
at
restaurants
inside
and
protect
both
City
residences
and
local
businesses
from
excessively
High
fees.
M
That
ordinance
was
set
to
automatically
sunset
or
expire
90
days
following
the
end
of
the
locally
declared
emergency
which
occurred
in
February
of
2023.
Therefore,
without
further
Council
action
that
urgency
ordinance
is
set
to
expire
at
the
end
of
May.
At
the
February
21st
city
council
meeting,
the
council
gave
direction
for
the
city
staff
and
city
attorney's
office
to
bring
back
an
ordinance
permanently,
establishing
the
regulations
that
were
in
place
under
the
covid
emergency
ordinance,
and
so
that's
what
we
have
before
you
tonight.
M
The
ordinance
that
is
before
you
tonight
will
impose
the
following
regulations
on
food
delivery
service
companies.
First,
it
makes
it
unlawful
for
those
food
delivery
service
companies
to
charge
a
restaurant
for
a
delivery
fee,
that's
more
than
15
percent
of
the
cost
of
the
purchase
order
of
the
online
order.
It
also
makes
it
unlawful
for
that
delivery
service
company
to
charge
a
retail
food
establishment
any
amount,
that's
designated
as
a
delivery
fee,
for
an
order
that
it
does
not
involve
delivery
of
food
or
beverages.
M
It
would
make
it
unlawful
for
a
third
party
delivery
service
to
charge
a
retail
food
establishment
more
than
five
percent
of
the
cost
of
the
purchase
price
for
all
other
fees
and
charges
for
other
services,
for
example,
that
the
online
service
might
provide
and
it
caps
those
fees
at
those
three
points
that
are
listed
above.
The
ordinance
would
also
make
it
unlawful
for
a
third-party
delivery
service
to
charge
a
customer
for
a
purchase
price,
that's
higher
than
the
price
that's
listed
on
the
menu.
M
It's
similar
to
kind
of
what
we
see
under
the
Ada
law,
where
private
citizens
or
residents
are
able
to
bring
a
private
right
of
action,
and
it
bolsters
that
Remedy
by
providing
prevailing
plaintiff
is
entitled
to
attorney's
fees
and
costs
if
they
are
successful.
In
a
case
subsequent
to
the
posting
of
the
agenda,
the
city
was
contacted
by
at
least
one
of
the
food
delivery
services,
doordash
and
doordash
explained
to
us
that
they
had
introduced
a
a
Model,
A
business
model
and
other
at
least
one
other
food
delivery.
M
Service
company
had
established
a
business
model
after
the
covid
ordinances,
went
into
effect
in
2020
that
basically
provides
for
enhanced
services.
That
are
provided
by
the
food
delivery
service
company
to
the
restaurants,
that
that
select
the
food
delivery
service
companies
and
so
that,
basically,
the
15
percent
is
is
charged
as
a
commission
by
the
food
delivery
service
companies
to
the
restaurants
for
basic
food
delivery,
but
that
there
are
enhanced
services
such
as
marketing
enhanced
exposure.
M
If
the
restaurants
voluntarily
choose
to
pay
a
higher
commission
to
to
the
food
delivery
service
service,
and
so
what
doordash
is
asking
is
for
an
exemption
to
be
included
in
this
ordinance
for
those
restaurants
that
choose
to
select
these
enhanced
services
that
are
offered
by
the
food
delivery
service
companies,
and
so
we've
provided
to
the
city
council
an
example
of
that
type
of
ordinance.
The
city
of
San
Francisco
adopted
such
an
ordinance
in
2022
following
conversations
and
litigation
with
doordash,
and
so
we've
provided
that
to
the
council.
M
J
Thank
you,
Jeff.
One
of
the
issues
that
is
in
our
proposed
ordinance
requires
third
party
delivery
service
to
disclose
to
the
customer
each
fee
that
was
charged
a
retail
establishment,
as
well
as
any
tip
paid
to
the
person
who's
delivering
the
food
is
I,
understand
it.
There
is
a
state
ordinance
that
are
excuse
me,
State
Statute,
that
covers
this
area
is
what's
being
proposed
here,
different
than
what
is
in
the
State
statutes,
and
if
so,
why
do
we
need
to
be
different.
M
J
J
I
struggle
to
understand
once
we've
our
past
the
emergency,
why
the
city
should
intervene
in
what
is
essentially
a
relationship
between
a
restaurant
and
a
delivery
service
to
Define
what
the
maximum
fee
is
going
to
be
that
a
restaurant
can
pay,
and
in
talking
with
some
of
our
local
restaurants,
they
have.
They
feel
that
the
additional
services
that
they
will
receive
for
the
additional
fees
are
an
appropriate
decision
for
them
to
make
and
one
they
would
like
to
have
the
Liberty
to
make.
D
M
M
L
You
know
I
I've,
I
I've
been
on
the
sites
many
times
and
I
know
that
you
know
we
basically
in
this
country
have
what
is
assembled
just
an
oligala
oligopoly
of
of
food
delivery
services
is
basically
four
Behemoth
services
that
take
care
of
this
all
and
so
and
I
know
from
being
on
having
an
online
business
that
the
the
threshold
is
fine.
But
the
truth
is
that
you
actually
have
no
exposure.
L
It
just
does
not
ring
very
well
with
me:
I
think
their
margin
they
can
get
up
to
20,
and
that
seems
like
a
very
good
margin
in
a
small
City
like
like
ours
to
be
able
to
do,
or
we
have
mostly
small
businesses,
small
local
businesses,
I
I,
I'm,
sure
the
McDonald's
and
the
Chipotles,
and
all
these
other
fast
foods
that
are
on
the
sites
are
not
paying
paying
more
than
15,
even
with
their
added
exposure.
So
I
actually
support
the
the
continuation
of
this.
L
L
M
D
M
That
states
actually
does
not
preempt
local
agencies
from
adopting
their
own
and
I
would
point
out
that
ours
is,
is
a
little
bit
broader
in
the
sense
that
it
provides
a
private
right
of
action,
whereas
I
don't
see
that
the
state
law
provides
that,
and
so
ours
is
a
little
bit
more
expansive
than
state
law.
So
there
is
a
there
is,
would
be
a
reason
to
do
this.
A
AP
AP
K
L
L
A
K
There
be
further
discussion,
I
have
questions
that
I
haven't
asked
yet
before
we
vote
on
the
motion.
Thank
you,
council,
member
Holsted.
Thank
you.
Madam
mayor
I.
Just
have
a
few
questions
about
enforcement
and
also
the
regulatory
scheme
that
we
have
so
one
can
we
talk
a
little
bit
about
enforcement
and
what
we're
seeing
either
City
staff
has
those
answers
of
what
you've
heard
from
businesses
or,
if
council
members
have
from
talking
to
businesses.
K
Don't
see
the
disclosures
I
was
just
looking
the
other
day
and
I
saw
that
I
won't
name
the
company,
but
items
were
a
few
dollars
more
on
the
app
than
the
website
of
the
restaurant,
so
that
clearly
violates
the
ordinance
I
think
my
order
would
have
been
ten
dollars
more
out
of
30
or
40
dollars
just
because
the
prices
were
inflated,
not
even
considering
the
fees
and
all
of
that.
So
could
you
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
we
might
do
to
enforce
this
ordinance?
However,
Council
decides
to
continue
it.
You
know.
K
M
K
M
K
Right,
it's
interesting
now,
because
it's
really
expanded.
Just
in
the
last
two
years,
I
have
a
toddler
and
I
had
a
baby,
so
I'm
very
used
to
these
Services,
because
I
often
could
not
leave
the
house
to
get
food,
and
so
now
you
can
order
convenience
items
I'm,
trying
to
think
of
how
what
other
local
businesses
we
would
see
in
under
this
ordinance
that
many
of
them
are
chains,
but
they
could
be
locally
owned
like
they
deliver
7-Eleven
and
other
things
like
that
convenience.
K
K
M
I
think,
from
a
from
a
legal
perspective,
we
would
be
entirely
entitled
to
require
them
to
obtain
a
business
license.
We
would
probably
have
to
apportion
the
business
license
tax
that
we
collect
from
these
types
of
businesses
because
they
operate
in
multiple
jurisdictions.
I,
don't
know
off
the
top
of
my
head
whether
these
businesses
actually
do
have
business
licenses,
but
we
can
ask
ask
staff
to
find
that
out.
We've.
K
Seen
that
issue
on
a
number
of
different
Tech
models
where
it
was
like,
do
we
required
of
every
delivery
driver
or
is
it
the
larger
companies?
How
do
we
know
who's
operating
those
sorts
of
things?
Daryl
Terrell
of
Moreno
Valley
drove
all
the
way
here
to
give
this
public
comment,
so
he
asked
Can.
The
council
require
companies
to
share
customer
order.
Data
with
restaurants,
fulfilling
food
orders
prohibit
them
from
listing
restaurants
on
their
platform
without
the
restaurant's
permission.
K
I
think
that
might
already
be
required
by
state
law
require
them
to
list
a
restaurant's,
brick
and
mortar
telephone
number
on
their
platform.
Could
the
council
prohibit
them
from
charging
restaurants
for
telephone
orders?
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
heard
that
public
comment
appreciate
his
Insight
here
and
if
staff
has
any
response.
M
I
think,
with
the
exception
of
the
the
making
available,
the
the
consumers
orders
I
think
all
of
those
are
at
least
would
probably
be
legally
defensible
under
the
city's
police
power.
I
think
the
listing
of
customers
orders
might
implicate
some
privacy
concerns
that
courts
might
be
skeptical
of.
We
could
certainly
look
into
those
if
the
council
wishes
us
to
thank.
A
Great
so
at
this
time
we
do
have
emotion
and
a
second
on
the
floor
to
support
the
amended
version
of
this
ordinance
that
was
provided
in
our
supplemental
information.
So
at
this
time
we'll
take
a
vote
on
that
motion
and,
depending
on
the
outcome
of
that
motion,
we
can
hear
an
additional
motion.
Councilmember
hostage,
I.
K
Like
to
discuss
things
before
I
just
vote,
if
I
can
ask
one
more
question
about
legal
liability,
so
when
the
staff
report.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
it
talks
about
San
Francisco
having
a
similar
ordinance
to
our
permanent
one.
That
is
the
motion
on
the
table.
So
can
you
just
explain
a
little
bit
about
the
legal
liability
and
the
risk
if
we
were
to
continue
with
the
existing
ordinance
and
if
there
is
risk?
What
might
come?
M
Sure
so,
as
I
indicated
in
the
supplemental
staff
report,
San
Francisco
was
sued
by
doordash
and
GrubHub,
based
on
their
ordinance.
That
mirrors
our
our
existing
covet
ordinance
and
the
city.
In
that
case,
filed
What's
called
the
motion
to
dismiss
which
basically
asks
the
court
to
decide
whether
the
case
should
proceed
to
trial.
The
city
was
successful
in
part,
but
not
successful
in
other
parts
in
the
court
in
that
case
was
going
to
allow
the
case
to
proceed
to
a
trial
on
two
claims.
M
One
would
be
a
due
process
claim
under
the
under
the
Constitution
and
then
the
other
would
be
a
takings
claim
and
also
under
the
Constitution.
The
court
didn't
say
that
that
doordash
would
necessarily
win
on
those
two
causes
of
action,
but
they
said
that
the
the
companies
at
least
established
a
viable
claim
that
could
proceed
to
trial
and
there
would
be
there
would
have
to
be
a
trial
on
the
facts
in
terms
of
the
reasonableness
of
the
regulation.
M
In
order
to
resolve
that,
and
so
I
would
say
that
oh
I
would
also
point
out
that
doordash
and
I
believe
GrubHub
also
have
sued
the
city
of
New
York
and
that
lawsuit
is
still
pending.
So
the
two
companies
have
indicated
a
propensity
to
to
file
lawsuits
over
these
types
of
ordinances.
So
it
would
be
fair
to
expect
if
the
council
adopted
an
ordinance
similar
to
identical
to
what
we
currently
have
in
place
under
our
covet
ordinance.
M
B
L
K
Sorry
I'm
sitting
here
and
I
was
delaying
a
little
bit
because
I'm
undecided
and
so
I
voted.
No
just
so
we
can
have
more
of
the
discussion
just
to
say:
I
did
meet
with
doordash,
who
had
contacted
the
city
and
proposed
this
amended
version,
which
the
City
attorney
and
City
staff
presented
and
I
do
think.
K
That's
a
reasonable
compromise
and
I
am
concerned
about
liability,
but
I
also
talked
to
local
restaurants,
who
shared
that
they
felt
that
the
15
percent
limit
was
the
very
bare
minimum,
but
they
were
still
being
buried
in
the
apps
and
not
being
found
and
really
not
having
access
to
the
full
services.
And
so,
while
I
hear
the
concerns
about
what
is
our
role
in
in
regulating
the
relationship
between
these
two
businesses.
K
It's
hard
to
insert
ourselves
there,
but
also
our
restaurants
are
still
struggling
with
this,
and
they
do
feel
that
they
are
paying
more
than
often
that
they're
making
in
terms
of
profit
and
so
I
think
that
there
might
be
more
work
to
do
on
this
ordinance
and
with
these
companies.
You
know
I'm
interested
in
what
our
role
is
as
a
city
when
these
are
international
companies
that
are
doing
business
with
tens
of
thousands
of
other
cities,
and
you
know
how
much
power
we
have
against
those
companies
to
really
regulate
our
own
system.
K
If
this
is
still
an
issue,
because
we
also
hurt
other
business
owners.
Our
and
restaurants
are
supportive
of
the
compromise
and
the
amended
ordinance
so
I
just
it's
hard.
Without
that,
the
process
of
knowing
where
the
majority
of
restaurants
are
and
really
what
they
need
from
us
today,
but
the
ones
I
did
reach
out
to
us,
said
that
they
needed
more
support
and
protection
on
this
issue.
L
M
We've
reached
out
to
we've
reached
out
to
the
representative
from
doordash
and
I,
didn't
get
a
really
strong
response
in
terms
of
their
willingness
to
to
provide
that
equal
platform.
No
and
I
would
say
if,
if
the
council
is
interested
in
moving
forward
with
one
version
or
or
the
other
and
then
having
more
dialogue
with
the
companies,
you
could
always
introduce
the
ordinance.
You
know
ordinances
require
two
readings,
so
you
could
introduce
the
ordinance
tonight
in
one
way
or
another
and
then
direct
staff
to
to
have
those
conversations
with
the
stakeholders.
L
E
A
mayor
council
members,
obviously
we're
going
to
have
to
sit
down
and
talk
to
staff
and
see
what
kind
of
capability
they
have
to
reach
out
if
you're
really
hoping
to
get
a
lot
of
input
from
a
lot
of
restaurants,
see
what
our
capability
is.
We're
trying
to
do
a
lot
of
work
on
the
budget
right
now
and
so
I
don't
want
to
over
promise.
But
might
might
you
know
maybe
in
a
couple
meetings,
no.
M
D
A
C
A
Thank
you
at
the
next
item
is
public
comment
on
non-agenda
items.
This
time
has
been
set
aside
for
members
of
the
public
to
address
the
city
council
on
items
of
general
interest
that
are
not
on
our
Council
agenda
this
evening.
Although
the
city
council
values
your
comments
pursuant
to
the
brown
act,
it
generally
cannot
take
action
on
any
items
not
listed
on
the
agenda.
Two
minutes
will
be
assigned
to
each
speaker,
I
believe
Douglas
Young
has
left
Daryl
Terrell,
followed
by
Michael
Joseph
Pitkin.
W
Good
evening
my
name
is
Daryl
Terrell.
The
pandemic
has
created
new
fiscal
challenges
that
cause
for
a
new
way,
a
new
approach
to
budgeting
in
a
way
that
delivers
the
results
the
residents
want
at
the
price
they're
willing
to
pay.
That's
why
I
would
like
for
you,
madam
mayor
in
the
city
council,
to
consider
in
your
next
budget
cycle,
implementing
priority-based
budgeting
government
Finance,
Officers
Association
and
the
international
city
and
county
management
association
has
adopted
this
approach
as
a
recommended
best
practice.
W
It's
a
framework
that
would
enable
you
to
effectively
match
the
available
resources
with
the
community's
priorities.
The
philosophy
behind
this
is
that
City
resources
should
be
allocated
according
to
how
effectively
a
city,
program
or
city
services
achieves
the
goals
and
objectives
that
are
the
greatest
value
to
the
community.
In
a
priority
driven
approach,
the
city
would
identify
its
most
important
strategic
priorities
and
then,
through
a
collaborative
evidence-based
process,
rank
City
programs
or
city
services.
According
to
how
well
they
aligned
with
the
priorities,
the
city
then,
would
allocate
funding
in
accordance
to
those
rankings.
W
It
would
be
a
major
shift
from
the
current
line.
Item.
Budgeting
approach
simply
would
turn
to
the
city's
budget
process
upside
down
by
creating
a
city
budget,
not
by
looking
at
last
year's
a
budget
at
Baseline.
But
if
anyone
in
scores,
services
and
programs
based
on
desired
outcomes
and
align
budgets
with
the
community
priorities
by
reviewing
City
level
service
levels
and
efficiencies
to
allocate
and
optimize
resources-
and
you
know
the
one
most
important
benefit
of
this-
is
that
they
will
help
you
make
data
driven
decisions
to
allow
budget
resources.

mobbing
is
where
two
or
more
people
conspire
together
to
bully
another
person.
The
haza
shimra
negative
Street
gossip
in
Palm,
Springs,
Coachella,
Valley
Riverside
county
is
that
gay
HIV,
positive
individuals
in
prison
are
targeted,
cancel

denied
contact
with
their
family
members,
poisoned
prematurely
killed
and
complete
strangers.
Take
out
life
insurance
policies
on
them
almost
like
Michael,
Jackson
and
Prince.
I
have
no
proof
of
this,
even
if
this
is
BS.
Why
would
this
be
a
topic
of
discussion
here
unless
it
is
part
of
a
reasonableness
test
program?
Z
What
I
do
have
is
my
own
experience
here
in
Palm,
Springs
I
have
walked
over
4
000
miles
in
order
to
go
to
the
library
and
document
a
response
to
the
Palm
Springs
brand
I
feel
the
brand
can
do
better
for
those
who
are
new
to
town
and
who
are
not
retired,
millionaire
homeowners,
an
inclusive
diversity
brand
accepts
people
for
who
each
is
not,
who
you
want
them
to
be
our

myself.
I
am
a
combination
of
German
Jew,
French,
English
and
Russian
like
in
the

Z
My
grandfather
on
my
mother's
side
was
trained
as
a

from
Saint
Petersburg
Russia.
He
was

of
a

of
team
of
Tradesmen
to
establish
a

Oregon

my

not
survive

I
am
a
Nazi
of
Operation

Has
that
shimra
of
my
being
of
three
royal
families?
Z
One
would
think
the
Palm

blackmailers
would
be
asking
for
hundreds
of

more
like

The
indigenous
people
of

in
Oregon
receive
50

My

is
another
reason.
I
am
now
currently
being
targeted
and
you
all
just
reminded
me:
I
am
a
health
conscientious
objector.
A
E
Yes,
certainly
Madam
mayor
members,
Council
just
taking
a
quick
look
at
the
tentative
upcoming
agenda.
You'll
see
you'll
notice.
First
of
all,
we
have
a
lot
of
over
the
next
couple
months.
A
lot
of
budget
related
items
I
just
want
to
for
the
for
the
Public's
awareness
May
8th
the
week
from
Monday,
will
be
our
study
session
on
the
budget
when
we
will
present
general
fund
capital
and
Airport
ideas
and
budget
development
to
you
at
that
time.
E
M
E
Other
topics
on
Monday,
our
new
fire
chief
Paul
Alvarado,
will
be
beginning
work
so
at
our
first
available
council
meeting,
we'll
be
getting
him
here
in
front
of
you
to
meet
him
and
certainly
making
him
available
to
also
meet
with
you
individually
and
I'm
sure
he's
going
to
be
out
in
the
community
meeting
lots
of
groups.
So
you
can
look
forward
to
that
and
I
know
there
this
weekend,
there's
a
big
preservation
matters
meeting,
but
maybe
one
of
the
council
members
at
the
diocese
wants
to
talk
about
that.
That's
all
I
have
great.
A
AP
E
E
A
L
They
do
a
report
that
we
look
at
I
mean
if
it's
on
the
agenda
we're
making
a
decision
about
whether
we
start
trimming
them.
So
maybe
we
can
see
do
a
report
first
because
I
mean
there's
another
there's
just
to
be
clear.
There's
other
issues
too,
because
the
tribe
it
has
a
it,
has
a
historical
meaning
for
them.

J
Thank
you.
Earlier
this
month
we
lost
another
of
the
incredible
Legends
in
our
community
when
Gail
Christian
passed
away
at
age,
83.
Gail
and
her
wife,
Lucy
D,
Bart,
deep
art
delay
button
were
residents
of
Palm
Springs
for
nearly
20
years.
They
were
co-founders
of
the
Palm
Springs
women's
jazz
festival
for
all
of
us
who
knew
them.
They
were
simply
Lucy
and
Gail,
and
you
never
talked
about
one
without
mentioning
the
other.
J
She
was
an
incredible
individual
grew
up
in
Los
Angeles
and,
as
reported
in
much
of
the
media,
had
many
issues
and
challenges
as
she
was
growing
up
and
at
one
point
was
incarcerated.
In
the
California
state
women's
prison
for
armed
robbery,
she
went
on
to
become
one
of
the
groundbreaking
journalists
in
America
First,
beginning
early
in
her
career
reporting
on
the
Patty
Hearst
murder
trial.
J
Then
moving
on
to
many
many
other
assignments
at
NBC
and
at
PBS
and
I
want
to
quote
a
couple
of
things
from
her
that
were
reported
in
the
New
York
Times
obituary
for
Gail,
and
it's
quote
from
her
I
always
wanted
to
be
the
black
reporter.
As
in
covering
black
stories,
she
said
in
an
interview
with
Chicago
Tribune
in
1986.,
felt.
That
was
the
reason
I
was
there.
J
I
didn't
resent
it
in
the
least
I
felt
then,
as
I
feel
now
that
it
is
very
dangerous
for
a
group
of
people
to
live
in
a
society
where
they
are
not
allowed
to
interpret
themselves
later
in
our
life.
Gail
went
on
to
become
the
national
news
director
for
the
public
broadcasting
system
and
she
said
of
that.
I
always
wanted
to
be
the
one
in
the
room
who
got
to
decide
what
was
done
for
those
of
us
who
knew
her
in
Palm
Springs.
J
She
was
just
simply
Lucy
and
Gail
to
beautiful
women
celebrating
their
lives
together
with
numerous
friends
and
whether
you
knew
of
what
she
had
accomplished
in
her
career
or
not.
You
only
had
