B
A
Thank
you
so
much
and
we
do
have
a
couple
of
presentations
if
we
can
get
the
85th
Anniversary
up.
Thank
you
so
much
so
on
Saturday
the
city
celebrated
its
85th
Anniversary.
It
was
an
incredible
day
that
began
with
a
car
parade
which
you
can
see
on
the
screen
now
with
cars
from
1938
to
2023..
We
successfully
had
a
car
from
each
year
and
we're
poised
to
receive
an
official
Guinness
Book
of
World
Records.
A
For
that,
can
you
get
the
next
slide,
so
thank
you
to
Keith
McCormick,
who
came
up
with
the
idea
with
aftab
data
and
for
executing
this
incredible
event:
community
members
from
all
over
the
city
rode
in
the
parade,
including
former
mayors
and
council
members,
and
some
of
our
folks
who
are
being
honored
with
keys.
We
can
have
the
next
slide:
the
opening
ceremony
honored
our
Grand
Marshal
Nancy,
Sinatra,
Harold,
matsner
and
Keith
McCormick
with
keys
to
the
city.
A
A
Thank
you
to
Amy
Blaisdell,
our
special
events,
team
and
all
of
the
city
staff
who
worked
hard
to
make
this
happen
next
slide
to
our
residents
and
visitors
and
all
of
the
people
who
work
in
our
city.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
making
Palm
Springs
truly
like
no
place
else
all
right,
so
city
manager,
I,
believe
you
are
going
to
start
us
off.
E
Foreign.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
members
of
the
city
council.
We
wanted
to
take
just
a
few
minutes
today
to
give
you
an
update
on
homelessness
efforts
in
the
city.
So
it's
only
been
a
few
weeks
since
I've
been
here,
but
it's
pretty
clear
to
me
that
really
nothing
is
more
important
than
working
on
solutions
to
homelessness.
I've,
gotten
clear
direction
from
all
of
you
about
the
high
priority
of
this
issue:
I've
gotten
clear
feedback
from
the
community
about
how
important
this
is.
So
that
part
is
unambiguous.
E
As
Council
in
the
community
knows,
the
city
and
the
county
are
working
as
fast
as
possible
to
build
out
the
navigation
Center
at
3589,
McCarthy,
Street
and
just
a
few
key
benchmarks
on
that
that
I
thought
would
be
helpful
for
you
and
the
community
to
know
so.
Tilden
Coyle
has
been
selected
as
a
general
contractor
for
that
for
that
work,
we're
out
to
bid
right
now
to
the
subcontractors
to
do
this.
Demo,
the
site
work,
building
renovation,
utility
work,
landscaping
and
all
those
bids
are
due
on
April
20th.
E
E
As
you
know,
Martha's
Kitchen
has
been
selected
as
a
service
provider
and
they've
been
a
great
partner
with
us
in
working
through
this.
Getting
to
this
point
and
we'll
be
giving
I
anticipate,
giving
Council
more
detailed
updates
in
the
coming
Council
meetings
just
to
keep
you
up
to
date,
I
know
how
important
this
project
is
to
everyone.
E
I
also
wanted
to.
Let
you
know
that
our
homeless
Outreach
coordinator,
Roman
Ruiz,
has
been
hired
and
he's
now
on
the
job
I
wanted
to
bring
him
here
today
to
introduce
him
to
all
of
you
into
the
community.
He
couldn't
be
here,
but
at
the
next
meeting,
we'll
have
him
here,
so
you
can
put
a
name
with
the
face
and
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
work
that
he's
doing.
E
But
despite
all
of
this,
we
know
that
many
many
of
our
homeless
population
will
not
be
ready
to
go
right
into
their
own
separate
modular
unit
at
the
navigations
center
right
away.
We've
had
a
lot
of
discussions
with
our
service
providers
with
the
police
department,
the
police
chief,
and
we
really
feel
we're
there's
a
little
something
there
that
we
need
to
pay
close
attention
to.
We
want
to
be
very
proactive
to
identify
additional,
to
identify,
additional
and
immediate
next
steps
on
on
issues
related
to
the
homelessness.
E
Some
people,
initially,
we
know,
will
only
choose
to
use
use
our
current
Access
Center.
Some
will
be
prepared
for
the
stability
of
a
first
point.
What
I
call
it
as
a
first
point
of
entry
navigation
facility
and
some
will
be
ready
to
find
security
and
stability
at
the
McCarthy
center
right
away,
but
it's
kind
of
all
three
of
those
points
we.
E
What
we're
trying
to
think
about
is
how
do
we
build
out
a
Continuum
Continuum
of
Care,
because
we
know
that
folks
need
to
enter
and
progress
through
a
Continuum
of
Care
before
we
can
ever
get
them
ready
for
permanent
Supportive
Housing,
finding
their
first
affordable
housing
unit?
That
sort
of
thing
so
we're
trying
to
think
holistically
about
where
people
can
eventually,
you
know
how
they
can
eventually
progress
through
the
system.
E
Many
places-
and
you
know
I've
worked
at
some
before
that
have
implemented
other
additional
strategies,
such
as
mobile
Mental,
Health,
a
street
medicine
programs
that
I
think
I've
already
I'm
involved
in
having
conversations
with
people
about
those
sort
of
additional
resources
that
maybe
sort
of
mitigate
in
with
everything
else
we're
doing
with
the
housing
portion
of
that.
So
we're
we're
continuing
to
look
at
all
kinds
of
things
to
try
and
be
Progressive
proactive
to
try
and
get
out
ahead
of
doing
everything.
E
F
Currently,
in
Palm
Springs,
we
know
that
the
homeless
count
is
rising,
but
there
are
limited
resources
here
in
town
to
to
deal
with
it
at
the
point.
At
this
point
we
do
have
the
access
center
over
here
by
the
airport.
It's
open
eight
to
five
daily,
but
again
provides
limited.
Resources
can
provide
a
snack
and
drinks
but
still
leaves
gaps
in
in
the
needed
fight
against
homelessness,
basically
to
provide
for
those
people
out
there
that
need
some
help.
F
F
We
do
plan
on
running
a
warm
weather,
shelter.
Here
again
this
summer
we
have
secured
funding
for
that
So.
The
plan
currently
will
be
to
run
that,
through
from
July
1st,
through
September
30th
and
approximately
20
to
25
beds
at
the
access
center,
but
there
are
a
number
of
beds
will
be
based
on
whatever
we
can
fit
in
there
safely.
So
it
could
be,
15
could
be
25
if
we
can
fit
30
we'll
try,
but
we'll
do
our
best
to
put
as
many
people
in
there
as
we
can.
F
By
doing
that,
it
will
help
get
obviously
people
off
the
streets.
It
will
give
law
enforcement
a
little
more
ability
to
offer
people
that
they
see
out,
encampments
or
elsewhere
a
place
to
go
instead
of
stay
on
the
street.
The
way
that
we'll
we
envision
working
it
it'll
be
on
a
referral
basis.
Palm
Springs,
Police,
Department
and
Martha's
Village
can
refer
people
to
have
admission
and
they
will
be
given
a
bed.
F
We
haven't
got
all
the
details
worked
out,
but
we
plan
on
them
having
a
bed
and
letting
them
stay
and
not
having
it
be
just
a
nighttime
shelter,
so
they
would
have
a
place
to
stay
during
the
day.
We
would
figure
out
something
for
meals
and
try
to
accommodate
them
that
way,
and
as
long
as
they
were
there,
they
would
keep
their
bed
until
they
were
no
longer
around
it.
F
Entry
time
to
to
claim
it
Let's
see,
we
don't
know
if
you,
if
you're
all
familiar
with
us,
but
we
have
a
really
good
reputation
in
Indio
for
being
a
good
neighbor.
We
go
out
of
our
way
to
make
sure
that
the
neighbors
around
us
are
not
affected
as
little
as
possible.
Anyway,
with
with
the
people
that
come
and
go
from
our
facility.
F
I
think
same
thing:
we're
in
warm
weather,
shelter
here
in
the
city
at
the
United
Methodist,
Church
I,
think
the
neighbors
were
pretty
happy
with
us
the
two
years
we
were
there.
They
had
a
good
experience,
so
we're
hoping
that
we
can
do
the
same
here
with
this
and
and
make
it
a
very
well-run
location
and
again
the
police
department.
F
Plans
for
the
next
couple
of
years,
like
we
just
mentioned
warm
weather
shelter
this
summer,
that
would
be
20
to
25
beds.
Approximately.
We
would
like
to
set
up
this
emergency
navigation
Center
as
quickly
as
possible.
It's
just
a
matter
of
how
long
it
takes
us
to
secure
the
bids
and
get
it
built,
basically
we're
ready
to
move
on
it
as
soon
as
we
get
approval
at
some
point
and
of
course
we
have
a
navigation
Center,
that's
currently
being
built
and
we'll
open
up
next
year.
F
Just
a
couple
pictures
this
is
an
example
of
what
some
sprung
structures
could
look
like
on
the
site
that
we
proposed
to
put
95
beds
on.
What
this
doesn't
show
is
another
option
which
could
be
part
of
this,
also,
which
would
be
the
tiny
homes
which
I
think
you
probably
are
all
maybe
familiar
with
from
other
areas
that
have
used
them.
F
F
F
G
Well,
good
evening,
mayor
and
council
members,
thank
you
for
the
time
to
talk
about
this
important
topic.
One
of
the
first
questions
we
get
anytime.
We
contact
somebody
when
we're
conducting
enforcement
is
okay.
You
don't
want
me
here.
Where
would
you
like
me
and
that's
a
tough
answer,
question
to
answer
for
people,
especially
for
officers
who
are
very
concerned.
Two
of
our
officers
have
family
members
who
are
homeless.
G
G
It's
important
for
us
to
consider
other
options,
such
as
an
emergency
shelter
for
this
emergency
shelter
to
work.
It'll
take
a
few
things.
In
my
opinion.
One
is
the
right
facility
and
I
think
that
this
looks
like
it's
a
good
process
and
a
good
path
to
have
the
right
facility.
That's
controlled,
that's
safe!
That's
it
that's
enclosed!
The
second
is
the
right
team
to
run
the
facility,
and
since
my
time
here
in
Palm,
Springs
I
just
want
to
applaud
Martha's
Village
in
the
staff
for
all
the
work
that
they
have
done
in
our
city.
G
So
far,
they've
been
they've,
been
very
good
collaborators
and
very
good
partners.
So
we
thank
them
from
a
from
a
policing
standpoint.
One
of
the
most
critical
pieces
is
that
we
need
tightly
controlled
access.
That
means
a
few
things.
One
is
that
the
referrals
come
from
the
police
and
Martha's
Village.
We
need
to
have
the
ability,
as
a
police
department,
to
be
able
to
say
you
cannot
live
under
this
bus
shelter.
You
need
to
go
over
to
this
location.
G
We
have
a
bed
available
for
you
right
now
and
then
take
them
over
there
and
help
them
get
that
get
into
that
bed
and
get
situated
that
is,
that
is
tightly
controlled.
We
cannot
allow,
in
my
opinion,
from
looking
at
this
for
the
past
15
years
is
just
random
walk-up
access,
because
if
that
happens,
people
will
congregate
to
a
location
where
they
think
they
can
get
services,
and
that
is
not
the
purpose.
G
For
me
of
an
emergency
shelter,
people
need
to
be
and
brought
in
there
be
screened,
be
talked
to
and
have
a
variety
of
other
things.
I'll
mention
in
a
second
I
do
believe
that
if
we
have
it
too
open
that
other
cities
will
try
to
bring
the
people
in
need
in
those
cities
to
us
and
that
becomes
problematic
from
a
variety
of
perspectives,
they
are
certainly
welcome
to
build
facilities
to
feed
people
in
their
own
cities.
G
But
we
want
to
try
to
take
care
of
the
people
in
Palm
Springs
first,
and
once
we
prove
success,
then
we
can
certainly
take
a
look
at
other
things
later.
It
also
needs
to
be
strict
enforcement
of
the
rules
that
people
sign
when
they
go
into
facility
such
as
this.
That
violence
is
unacceptable.
That
open
use
of
drugs
is
unacceptable,
that
stealing
from
local
businesses
is
unacceptable,
and
if
they
do
that,
there
has
to
be
a
consequence,
which
is
you
lose
your
right
to
be
there?
G
G
There
also
needs
to
be
for
this
to
work,
well,
a
the
ability
to
say
that
you
are
seeking
help
and
that
placement
is
your
highest
priority
for
you
personally,
so
that
whether
there's
a
document
or
an
explanation
that
they
sign
to
so
they
thoroughly
understand
that
staff
in
this
particular
situation
are
not
there
to
prolong
the
use
of
of
the
lifestyle
that
they've
had,
but
to
improve
them
as
well
as
our
community
yeah.
Anything
that
violates
those
Community
standards
must
be
dealt
with
so
that
people
are
no
longer
there
and
then.
G
Lastly,
I
want
to
assure
you
that
that
pspd
will
make
this
a
priority
hotspot
wherever
we
locate
something
that
becomes
our
highest
priority
for
heavy
Patrol,
consistent
enforcement
and
referrals
to
opportunities
for
people
to
get
help.
It
has
to
be
a
focal
point
for
our
department.
Our
officers
have
done
an
amazing
job,
taking
on
the
four
hot
spots
that
we
had.
G
H
I'll,
take
a
lot
less
time
than
I
usually
do
in
no
PowerPoint
this
time,
but
first
of
all,
I
want
to
say
that
your
city
manager
has
jumped
on
this
faster
than
I've,
probably
seen
any
new
city
manager.
Do
you
can
tell
he's
dedicated
this
I
think
two.
He
laid
out
what
the
good
timeline
that
we
really
have
expedited.
H
Even
since
the
last
time
we
reported
you
on
the
development
I
think
it
needs
to
be
made
clear
that
the
development
of
this
property
of
the
navigation
scenario
has
never
stopped
a
huge
shout
out
to
Jay,
to
Flynn
and
to
Joelle
for
the
great
work
that
the
city
has
done
on
this
as
well.
What
I'm
here
tonight
is
and
I
think
they've
laid
out
a
really
good
continuing
of
care.
H
You
know
the
county
has
already
significantly
invested
in
this
city
and,
of
course,
as
a
resident
I
will
continue
to
advocate
for
that,
but,
looking
at
how
we
can
reallocate
again
to
build
out
this
continuing
of
care,
I'm
heart
much
more
heartened
than
I,
see
the
progress
on
the
navigation
Center,
but,
like
you,
I
realize
that
this
problem
has
to
be
addressed
as
soon
as
we
possibly
can,
and
even
though
Martha's
has
talked
about
the
sprung
structure.
You
know
we
haven't
really
specifically
identified
a
location.
H
E
Thank
you
to
all
of
our
partners
appreciate
them
coming
here
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
this,
just
a
couple
final
points
and
then
we'll
certainly
open
it
up
any
questions
you
have
for
any
of
us.
You
know
I've
seen
firsthand
some
of
the
point
of
entry,
navigation,
Center
systems
that
are
in
place
and
that
are
working.
A
good
example
is
the
City
of
Huntington
Beach
right
on
Beach
Boulevard
leading
right
into
the
beaches,
has
built
out
a
first
point
of
entry,
navigation
Center
that
really
works
really
well
there.
E
They
have
a
Good
Neighbor
policy,
and
you
know
at
some
point
very
quickly.
Maybe
we
might
round
up
a
bus
and
anybody
who
wants
to
take
a
two-hour
drive.
We
can
go,
look
at
their
facility
and
see
firsthand
kind
of
how
they're
doing
some
of
this.
We
don't
want
to
over
promise
on
any
of
this.
We
know
all
of
this
is
really
hard
work.
All
of
you
know.
We've
had
significant
encampment
issues,
especially
around
the
lawn
Crosley
area.
E
There's
a
Walmart
store
there,
where
I
know
the
police
chief,
and
all
of
you
had
spent
a
lot
of
time.
Trying
to
you
know,
help
people
get
off
the
encampments
that
were
going
along
there
and
our
Police
Department
reminds
me
what
a
hot
spot
area
that
is.
Mr
Rodriguez
reminds
me
of
some
of
the
commitments
we
have
with
Building
C
I
think
it
is
as
part
of
the
McCarthy
navigation
Center.
E
So
you
know
what
is
the
long-term
future
of
that
as
a
controlled,
effective
place
that
could
be
part
of
our
Continuum
of
Care,
so
those
are
those
are
some
of
the
things
that
we've
been
thinking
about,
and
so
what
I
want
to
just
leave
council
members
with
is
that
none
of
this
is
going
to
be
cheap.
We
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
we're
not
asking
Council
to
approve
anything
this
evening,
we're
just
we
wanted
to
introduce
some
of
these
additional
Concepts
that
all
of
us
on
the
team
behind
you.
E
E
Looking
for
from
us
and
if
we
are
and
if
we
have
the
green
light
from
you
to
just
keep
forging
ahead
doing
what
we're
doing
we'll
try
and
come
back
as
quickly
as
we
can,
maybe
as
soon
as
our
next
council
meeting
with
much
greater
detail
about
things
like
financing
procurement
structure,
scheduling
all
of
that
stuff.
That
I
think
will
be
important
for
you
to
be
thinking
about
in
terms
of
trying
to
free
up
the
resources
that
we
need.
We're
going
to
need
to.
E
I
E
E
Yeah,
because
that
facility
has
individual
pod
situations
where
you
know
someone
who's
experienced
experiencing,
homelessness
is
going
to
be
have
their
own
sort
of
individualized
area
where
they
can
have
some
of
their
own
privacy
and
and
hopefully
get
a
feel
for
you
know,
hopefully,
moving
on
to
permanent
Supportive
Housing,
maybe
affordable
housing,
maybe
their
own
apartment.
So
we
we're
all
do
speed
as
quickly
as
we
can.
I
I
The
idea
that
we're
being
presented
today
is
something
that
could
happen
relatively
quickly.
Yes,
that
that
could
deal
with
this
crisis
that
we're
in
yes
and
I
just
want
to
clarify
a
couple
other
things.
So
we
talked
about
that
the
place
in
Martha
Village
would
refer
people,
that's
the
only
way
people
can
get
in.
E
No,
the
idea
and
I
think
both
Martha's
and
the
chief
both
indicated.
We
want
to
have
a
situation
where
the
police,
department
and
Martha's
Village
have
really
close
tight
protocols
about
how
they're
working
together
literally
every
day,
tracking
how
many
beds
are
available
who's
in
there
who's
been
referred
in
there
and
then
that
person
has
Safety
and
Security
of
having
their
space.
If
they
had
a
shopping,
cart,
they'll
have
some
protection
for
their
space
there,
and
then
they
can
get
get
back
on
their
feet.
Okay,.
A
E
A
I
mean
in
terms
of
recommendations:
for
instance,
queer
Works
has
a
mobile
shower
unit
that
they
bring
around
specifically
targeting
the
unhoused.
If
queer
Works
were
to
come
to
to
Martha's
and
say,
there's
someone
we've
been
providing
showers
to
for
X
number
of
weeks.
We
think
that
they
would
be
a
good
person
to
go
into
the
center.
Can
they
get
a
referral
that
way.
E
A
I
E
Don't
know
yet
no
I
mean
we
have
to.
We
want
to
be
very
sensitive
to
wherever
a
facility
would
go
whatever
space
that
we're
building
out
whatever
you
know,
however,
we're
trying
to
do
it.
The
the
important
thing
to
remember
is
this
is
a
facility
that
this
is
a
facility,
that's
a
controlled
environment.
That's
why
I
think
it's
good
to
see
another
facility
in
action
and
you
get
a
feel
for
people
aren't
coming
and
going.
E
Absolutely
yeah
absolutely
there's
security,
24
7
on
all
these
locations,
both
for
the
Safety
and
Security
of
the
residents
that
are
there,
but
also
the
Safety
and
Security
of
the
staff
themselves.
And
that's
why
you
have
to
have
that
real
close
working
relationship
with
your
Police
Department,
okay
and.
I
E
Well,
you
know
we
have
a
lot
of
tremendous
resources
and
I
haven't
really
spoken
to
any
of
these
groups,
but
we,
you
know,
we
have
the
Inland
Empire
health
plan,
we
have
the
Desert
Medical
Center
and
we
can
partner
with
all
of
it's,
not
in
anybody
he's
interested
to
bring
homeless
individuals
to
our
emergency
rooms.
That's
not
that's!
Not
the
recipe
for
long-term
success.
I
And
and
I
guess
you
know.
Lastly,
I
just
want
to
make
a
comment
that
you
know
I
think
we
are
in
a
crisis
situation
and
I.
Don't
think
anybody
doubts
that
I
know
up.
You
know
the
place
have
done
a
great
job
and
sort
of
helping
with
these
hot
spots,
but
we've
seen
people
just
have
to
move
around
because
there
is
no
place
for
them
to
go.
So
you
know
my
personal
view
is.
It
sounds
like
my.
I
I
I
understand
that
this
is
it's
probably
better
to
have
something
that
might
have
an
easier
access,
easier
barrier
to
entry
or
lower
barrier
to
entry,
which
is
what
this
sounds
like.
It's
not
obviously
an
ideal
navigation
Center,
but
that
is
what
we
are
building
elsewhere.
So
do
you
see
the
potential
that
this
would
keep
going
or
that
this
would
end
when
the
new
navigation
Center
owns.
E
E
We
have
you
know
when
we
look
at
our
point
in
time
count.
Our
number
is
much
larger
than
that
some
number
much
larger
than
that,
and
so
you
know
and
then
hopefully
you
know
people
are
progressing
through
and
people
will
leave
the
McCarthy
site
and
they'll
go
on
to
a
better
place
in
their
lives
and
then
somebody
can
take
their
place.
So
that's
you
know,
that's
in
a
you
know,
that's
part
of
you
know
trying
to
a
holistic
approach
right.
I
E
Yeah,
usually
that's
part
of
the
navigation
process.
If
people
are
conveying
that
to
our
trained
staff
that
are
there,
they
know
how
to
get
them
to
people
that
can
help
them
and
work
with
them,
and
maybe
have
people
visit
the
facility
itself
and
spend
time.
So
that's
how
you
kind
of
build
that
that
partnership
to
kind
of
Move,
Along.
I
Well,
I
just
want
to
say,
I
do
think
what
a
crisis
I
I
like
the
idea
that
this
could
open
quickly
while
we're
still
you
know
not
letting
up
steam
on
the
navigation.
Center
I
appreciate
you've
been
here
a
month
and
we've.
You
know,
you've
recognized
the
problem
that
would
that
we
have
and
I
know,
Martha's
has
well
and
obviously
the
police
have
had
to
deal
with
it.
So
you
know
I.
I
My
view
is
a
way
to
say
other
questions,
but
I
I
think
you
know
this
sounds
like
a
great
option
to
move
forward
quickly
and
address.
What
really
is
an
emergency
situation
right
now
and
I
think
I
know
from
the
residents
and
the
business
community
and
and
and
and
and
the
homeless.
You
know
service
providers
that
everybody
recognizes
the
need
for
more
help
in
this
city
and
if
that's
what
we
can
do,
then
I
think
this
is
absolutely
what
we
should
do
to
move
forward.
J
All
this
comes
back
to
being
able
to
respond
quickly
with
Staffing
that
is
trained
and
experienced
and
ready
to
go
and
in
every
Endeavor.
That
is
a
critical
question
today.
So
what
can
you
say
to
reassure
us
that
if
we
move
forward,
you
in
fact
have
the
people
with
the
expertise
in
place
to
be
able
to
manage
this
program.
K
Yes,
what
we've
been
doing
since
we
start
operating
the
multiple
programs
here
with
the
warm
weather
and
cool
weather
and
the
access
center,
is
that
we've
been
working
with
our
current
staff
on
enhancing
their
skills
and
we've
been
having
these
meetings
with
them
before
coming
here,
because
one
thing
we
won't
do
is
present
you
a
project
that
we
don't
believe
will
be
successful,
because
that
is
you
know.
Martha's
has
a
reputation.
I
guess
I've
heard
here
before
sources
says.
K
Is
there
is
vital
to
us,
so
we've
been
working
with
staff
members,
adding
their
enhancing
their
their
skills
and
also
having
the
time
to
to
be
proactive
and
posting
the
jobs
for
those
line.
Staff
that
are
needed
is
vital.
We
don't
like
when
we
get
calls
10
days
prior
to
opening
it
up
and
we're
in
a
in
a
tight
spot,
because
now
you
need
to
staff
entire
facility
in
10
days
to
operate.
J
K
Been
in
Palm
Springs,
the
last
three
years
or
going
on
three
years
and
the
best
the
only
answer
I
could
give.
You
is
building
that
trust
with
the
clients
they
knew.
Who
Martha's
is.
We
were
new
to
Palm
Springs?
Three.
Maybe
we
didn't
have
that
answer
for
you
three
years
ago,
but
I
know
that
now
clients
are
familiar
with
our
services.
K
It
was
an
overnight
shelter
type
of
service,
but
if
the
rules
were
not
followed,
then
the
services
would
not
be
provided
and
I
believe.
Clients
know
that
it
was
very
important
that
the
community,
when
we
did
at
the
Methodist
Church,
that
the
community
members
fell,
that
trust
with
us
too.
So
therefore,
we
had
to
control
foot
traffic
and
clients
not
littering
around
the
neighborhood,
so
clients
knew
those
conversations
were
having
with
them
every
day.
K
I
had
those
conversation
myself
where,
at
the
end
of
the
night,
okay,
I'm
going
home,
guys
make
sure
I
don't
get
called
in
the
middle
of
the
night
that
something
happened
and
they're
like
oh,
no
nothing's,
gonna
happen
and
I,
don't
and
I
believe.
If
I'm
not
mistaken,
the
police
department
reported
that
there
was
less
calls
during
that
time
that
we're
operating
the
warm
weather
I
know
during
cool
weather.
We
didn't
receive
any
calls
in
the
middle
of
the
night.
Again
it's
the
good
neighbor
but
clients
knowing
that.
J
J
But
some
of
the
individuals
who
are
out
on
our
streets
are
in
fact
committing
crimes
and
disturbing
their
neighbors
and
not
asking
for
help.
So
could
you
talk
about
some
of
the
kinds
of
issues
that
your
officers
face
with
that
segment
of
the
population
and
again
I
know
it's
not
the
entire
population.
G
The
third
group
is
the
element
that
I
think
you're
addressing
those
who
desire
to
live
a
lifestyle
where
they
are
living
in
a
in
a
place
that
may
or
may
not
be
where
they're
from
that
are
choosing
to
commit
crime
to
either
either
fuel
a
drug
habit
or
that's
just
the
way
they
have
chosen
to
do
that.
It's
exacerbated
by
a
few
things.
J
G
G
J
Thank
you
so
I'm,
very
supportive
of
what
we
are
doing
and
what's
being
proposed,
I
think
we
need
a
sense
of
urgency
in
everything
that
we
do
in
this
area.
There
are
far
far
too
many
people
that
are
on
the
street
and
again
every
cause
that
has
been
thought
of
is
true
at
times
as
to
why
people
are
on
the
street,
but
we've
got
to
have
the
beds
available
and
we
do
not
have
those
beds
available
right.
I
J
And
the
sooner
we
get
them
the
better
off
we
will
all
be.
There
is
no
higher
priority
in
my
mind
than
us
to
respond
to
this
issue
and
I
want
to
thank
the
county
for
the
work
they've
done
and
everyone
else
who's
in
who's
out
there
fighting
and
trying
to
make
this
happen,
and
the
last
thing
I
want
to
say
is
that
we
are
still
even
with
the
actions
that
are
being
proposed
now,
simply
being
responsive
and
reactionary.
J
J
M
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
thank
Martha's,
Village
and
kitchen
for
bringing
this
forward
and
really
thank
staff
when
we
first
when
I
first
joined,
City
Council
in
2017
Martha's
was
helping
people
throughout
the
county
and
throughout
the
Coachella
Valley,
but
didn't
have
a
site
in
Palm
Springs
and
one
of
the
things
that
I'm
so
proud
that
we've
done
over
the
last
few
years
was
give
them
grant
funding
to
start
in
Palm,
Springs
and
they've
just
continued
to
say
yes
and
jump
at
New
Opportunities.
M
M
So
I
just
really
want
to
applaud
their
leadership
and
thank
them
for
the
work
that
they're
doing
in
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
for
continuing
to
say
yes
to
the
challenges
that
we
Face
together
as
a
city,
we
really
appreciate
your
leadership,
ship
and
continuing
to
step
up
for
that.
For
us
I
know
this
will
be
a
successful
project
and
I
fully
support
all
of
the
the
work
that
staff
and
Martha's
is
doing
to
bring
this
forward
to
provide
an
Access
Center,
so
people
can
get
into
housing
right
away
and
then
also
achieve
transitional
housing.
M
I
know
that
the
council
is
doing
and
we
have
been
doing
proactive
work
on
addressing
homelessness,
including
developing,
affordable
housing.
So
I
look
forward
to
looking
at
that
data,
so
we
can
continue
to
address
this
problem
with
urgency.
I
mean
I
just
want
to
applaud
the
county.
Thank
you
for
your
partnership
and
Greg
Rodriguez
personally,
who
spearheaded
this
and
a
number
of
projects,
and
also
our
police
chief
for
really
getting
a
handle
on
collecting
data
and
reporting
to
city
council.
What
is
happening
on
the
ground
in
the
city
of
Palm
Springs.
L
Thank
you,
a
city
manager,
Scott
I,
really
appreciate
you
jumping
in
feet.
First
head
first
body
first
to
tackle
this,
and
it
certainly
is
a
massive
issue.
Just
based
off
of
the
comments
we've
heard
today
and
from
fellow
council
members,
but
I
think
it's
and
I
know
the
community
appreciates
the
fact
that
you're
standing
here
councils
providing
the
opportunity
for
you
to
to
share
with
the
community.
L
What
are
the
next
steps
in
this
fight
for
homelessness
and
and
being
able
to
share
that
with
the
community
I
think
is,
is
is
really
important
that
they
get
to
see
the
end-all
solution?
Isn't
the
navigation
Center,
you
know
the
navigation.
Center
is
one
piece
of
the
pie
and
I've
I've
said
as
I
talked
in
the
community
all
of
last
year.
We
you
know,
there's
the
north
part
of
town,
isn't
the
only
part
of
town
that's
going
to
have
services
that
can
help
deal
with
this,
but
the
homelessness
issue.
L
Can
we
can
we
ask
that
that
this
emergency,
the
emergency
shelter?
That
is
another
tool
in
the
Arsenal
to
help
fight
homelessness,
that
it's
not
in
the
North
part
of
town,
that
it
is
in
a
different
part
of
of
town,
where
we
know
we're
making
services
available
throughout
the
city,
not
just
in
one
pocket.
E
E
So
even
after
people
leave
the
McCarthy
facility
and
they've
been
living
there
in
their
modular
unit
for
three
four
months
and
they're
doing
well
and
they've
got
a
job
and
they're
coming
back
and
forth,
and
now
do
we
have
a
permanent
Supportive
Housing
unit
for
them
to
go
to
do
we
have
an
affordable
housing
unit
for
them
to
go
to
their
back
and
their
feet.
They're
stabilized
they're,
getting
their
life
together,
so
yeah.
It's
all
of
that!
There's
no
there's!
E
No
one
size
fits
all
one
easy
snap,
your
fingers
do
one
thing
and
it's
all
going
to
go
away
and-
and
you
know
the
other
part
that
the
chief
talked
about
you
know-
I've
learned
the
city
of
Indio
has
a
number
I
think
a
number
of
of
beds,
probably
over
200
beds,
that
they're
using
to
help
in
their
Community.
But
this
is
a
regional.
It's
a
regional
issue.
We
have
you
know
all
cities
have
to
join
in
in
this
in
this
fight
in
this
challenge
to
help
help
reduce
homelessness.
E
L
L
They
know
it's
a
very
complicated
issue
but
to
hear
that
we're
working
with
Community
partner
owners
to
address
the
mobile
mental
health
opportunity
that
might
be
there
to
offer
that
service
in
the
community,
the
street
medicine
being
able
to
have
teams
for
Street
medicine
providers.
You
know
those
are
all
additional
elements
that
I'm
hearing
you
all
are
working
on.
To
bring
back
to
Council
in
the
days
ahead
is
to
make
our
overall
comprehensive
plan.
That's.
E
Right,
yes,
I
mean
we
have
great.
We
have
great
medical
medical
staff,
great
medical
professionals
in
this
community
people
with
a
lot
of
resources
in
a
lot
of
different
areas,
so
I
think
it's
not
just
the
city,
it's
not
just
the
county.
It's
not
just
Martha's,
there's,
probably
a
little
bit
of
a
role
in
a
lot
of
these
areas
for
folks
to
partner
with
us
and
I
would
sug
I'd
say
if
anybody's
watching
and
they
they've
been
having
some
thoughts
about
some
of
these
different
ideas.
E
That
might
kind
of
you
know
correspond
with
what
we're
trying
to
do
to
please
reach
out
to
us
you're,
going
to
find
a
whole
bunch
of
folks
who
are
more
than
more
than
happy
to
figure
out
how
they
fit
into
the
equation
of
what
we're
doing
it's.
As
we've
always
said,
this
isn't
just
a
police
problem.
Police
can't
solve
this
by
themselves.
L
I
appreciate
that
and
I
certainly
am
supportive.
I
I
want
to
support
this
effort
that
you're
bringing
forward
and
just
ask
that,
as
as
we
you
bring
to
details
to
the
Council
next,
is
that
you're
you're
making
sure
that
you're
asking
us
for
the
tools
that
are
needed
for
all
of
our
teams
that
are
working
on
on
this
across
the
board
police.
Everybody!
L
A
E
E
C
E
A
Thank
you
and
I
appreciate
all
the
work.
All
right.
We
will
move
on
to
the
next
item.
Then.
Thank
you.
Our
next
item
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
be
removed
for
separate
discussion,
I'd
like
to
entertain
a
motion
for
acceptance
of
the
agenda.
Are
there
any
items,
staff
or
council
member
would
like
removed
from
consent,
calendar
for
separate
discussion
or
vote
council
member
de
heart
yeah.
A
A
N
Madam
mayor
members
of
the
council,
members
of
the
public,
the
city
council,
met
in
closed
session
earlier
this
afternoon
and
discussed
the
items
that
are
listed
on
the
agenda.
The
only
reportable
action
was
the
city
council
voted
5-0
to
join
the
settlement
in
the
opioid
litigation.
This
is
the
second
phase
of
that,
and
so
the
city
will
be
receiving
funds
once
that
settlement
is
finalized
by
the
other
parties
other
than
that
there's
no
portable
action.
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
begin
your
time
by
telling
us
what
agenda
item
or
items
you
are
speaking
about.
Please
note
that
the
time
for
public
hearings
will
be
taken
at
the
time
of
public
hearing,
although
we
don't
have
any
today.

February

1996
Wayne
McKinney
MD
a
year
ago,
when
I
inquired
at
the
well
in
the
desert
about
some
of
these
Services.
Instead
of
being
told
they
are
unable
to
provide
services.
Instead,
I
was
yelled
and
screamed
at
for
even
mentioning
them.
The
whale
in
the
desert
has
to
provide
these
services
in
order
to
maintain
their
tax,
Internal
Revenue
code
organization
without
propaganda.
The
well
in
the
desert
is
in
Gross
violation
and
has
violated
my
civil
rights.
A
I
You
had
one
comment
which
I'm
not
well,
that
wasn't
Paul,
which
is
one
eye
regarding
the
application
for
PS
bottle
shop
and
I
just
wanted
to
congratulate
them
on
a
local
business,
expanding
especially
one
that
focuses
on
lgbtq,
plus
bipoc
women,
owned
Brands
and
local,
Brands
and
I.
Think
it's
great
to
see
them
have
some
success
in
our
city.
A
P
Thank
you
mayor
mayor,
Pro,
tem,
council
members.
This
is
a
request
to
appropriate
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
a
substantial
project
on
the
chocolates
medians
and
it's
a
project
that
would
convey
welcome
and
values
to
the
visitors
of
Palm
Springs
coming
into
the
downtown
area
from
the
airport.
So
the
project
entails
soliciting
artists
to
prepare
column,
artwork
pillar
artwork
at
six
locations
on
the
Palm
Springs
medians,
and
they
will
reflect
different
equities
through
the
artwork
themes
and
the
cost
for
each
of
these
pillars
is
allocated
at
fifty
thousand
dollars.
P
L
L
L
They
are
the
specific
categories
that
are
going
out
and
having
receive
that
from
our
public
comment
that
was
sent
in
to
council.
I.
Just
wanted
to
point
that
out
that
that
this
is
the
intent
of
the
program
and
and
with
that
I
fully
support
it
and
and
again
thanks
to
Vice,
chair
Gary,
good
job
I,
appreciate
that,
and
we
look
forward
to
the
next
project
that
you
got
coming
to
it's
going
to
top
this
one.
So
thank
you.
I
P
Yes,
those
there
are
plans
to
relocate
them.
The
public
Arts
commission,
however,
has
not
solidified
those
that
will
finalize
those
discussions.
First
is
the
discussion
of
purchasing
the
horses
which
are
on
loan
still
to
the
city
and
second
will
be
where
to
put
them.
Should
the
recommendation
approaches
then,
and
city
council
approve
the
purchase
of
the
horses
come
forward?
There
are
some
possible
locations.
P
I
I,
like
that
idea
that
people
could
team
up
close
I,
also
want
to
mention
the
horses
are
kind
of
hard
to
see
sometimes
and
I.
Think
I've
drove
in
that
street
10
times
before
I
could
really
see
them.
All.
I
would
recommend
that
if
we
do
these
pillars,
it'd
be
more
like
somewhat
the
scale.
The
tribal
sculpture
that
you
sort
of
see
right
away.
I
You
know
it's.
This
is
only
for
people
really
driving
by
or
happen
to
walk
on.
Talk
with
I
would
also
ask
you
know
if
we
look
at
toxics
in
the
median
there's
a
lot
of
lighting,
that's
out,
and
some
of
the
Landscaping
there's
zip
lines
that
go
nowhere,
that
at
the
time
that
has
unveiled,
we
make
sure
the
whole
median
is
kind
of
re-done
so
that
we
don't
put
these
beautiful
pillars
into
an
area
that.
I
A
B
A
Q
A
I
Think
part
of
the
issue
is
that
when
this
was
approved
it
was
part
of
the
whole
measure,
J
Budget,
and
there
was
other
things
that
may
not
have
been
approved
or
there's
other
things
that
you
know
that
are
that
are
waiting
to
be
approved
that
are
now
going
to
be
pushed
out
because
the
money's
being
used
and
so
I
realize-
and
this
was
I
I
apologize.
That
Joel
is
not
here
but
I.
Think
it's
something
that
we
as
a
city
should
start
doing,
is
overestimate
some
of
these
things.
So
we
you
know,
counsel.
I
When
we're
considering,
should
we
spend
another
million
and
a
half
on
this
project?
We
also
can
look
and
see
what
else
would
have
been
the
options.
Now
that
said,
I
think
this
is
a
great
project
and
and
I
think
it's
nice
to
see
something
in
our
Parks
happen.
But
again,
we've
talked
about
a
master
Parks
plan
and
Parks
and
Recreation
plan,
and
this
is
one
element
of
it
and
it'll
be
makes
sense
to
do
the
thing
to
do
approval
project
in
the
scope
of
everything
that's
going
on.
I
Q
I
Another
question
another
point
I
just
wanted
to
make
to
the
city
manager
is
that,
since
this
is
a
measure
J,
which
is
a
great
use
in
measure
J,
we
should
look
at
how
we
can
measure
what
percentage
of
measure
J
comes
from
visitors
versus
residents,
since
it
is
a
sales
tax
and
it'll.
Be
nice
I
think
for
the
residents
to
know
that
this
tax
that
happened
primarily,
which
is
large
part
funded
by
visitors,
helped
serve
the
residents
and
the
last
point
maybe
Flynn.
I
Q
I
Okay,
that
that's
that's
really
my
questions,
my
only
things
once
this
does
open,
we
should
have
a
big
celebration,
the
same
way
we
did
with
the
downtown
park
since
there
there's
so
many
people
who
use
our
Recreation
Fields,
both
at
the
Ballpark
and
demuth
and
I,
think
this
is
really
a
nice
project
for
the
community.
So
thank
you.
L
L
It
is
4.6
million
dollars
in
measure
J
funds,
but
the
the
the
job
grew
significantly
from
it
was
when
it
was
originally
proposed
to
just
be
some
minor
changes.
So
it
grew
to
be
a
much
larger
project
which
is
going
to
serve
so
many
families
and
and
folks
that
that
use
the
demuth
park
and
the
use
of
the
the
stadium
and
surrounding
area
at
Sunrise,
so
I'm
very
excited
about
this
and
I
can't
wait
to
see
it
completed.
A
A
R
R
R
S
S
S
We
completed
audit
for
the
city's
financial
statement,
the
public
financing,
Authority
financial
statement,
audit,
the
passenger
facility
charge
program,
compliance
audit,
housing
successor

measure,
J
audit
in
agree
upon
procedures
on
measure
D,
and
we
have
just
completed
also
the
single
audit
for
the
cities.
Federal
award
program
next
slide.
S
So
some
of
the
required
communication
next
slide.
Please
is
related
to
our
responsibility.
So
we,
our
responsibility
as
an
auditor,
is
to
form
an
Express
opinion
about
the
financial
statement,
the
fair
presentation
or
the
financial
statement
and
to
perform
and
to
plan
and
perform
the
order
to
provide
a
reasonable
Assurance,
not
absolute
Assurance,
because
we
test
the
transaction
on
the
sampling
basis
and
to
determine
whether
the
financial
statements
are
free
from
material
misstatement
and
during
the
other
process.
S
We
consider
the
internal
control
over
financial
reporting
and
then
also
doing
a
single
order,
processing
other
compliance
order.
We
consider
the
the
internal
control
over
the
compliance
compliance
requirements
and
these
considerations
are
for
the
purpose
of
determining
all
the
procedures
and
not
necessarily
provide
any
Assurance
only
internal
control.
But
if
there's
any
internal
control
matter,
we
will
report
to
those
charges,
governance
and,
as
part
of
the
other
requirement.
S
We
consider
whether
there's
any
going
concern
issue
for
the
city
to
continue
for
the
next
12
months
to
operate
continue
to
operate.
And
lastly,
we
also
required
to
communicate
with
those
charged
governance
which
we
issue
a
couple:
letters
to
those
Charter
Governors
during
our
planning
process
and
doing
the
completion
order
and
also
doing
this
presentation
next
slide.
S
So
a
couple
other
required
communication
first
is
related
to
the
ethic
and
Independence.
So
we
as
auditor
has
complied
with
all
relevant
ethical
requirements
regarding
Independence
and
then
the
independence
related
to
the
independency
appearance
and
Independence,
in
fact,
and
also
Independence
over
the
the
none
other
services
we
provide
for
the
city,
including
assisting
the
city,
preparing
the
financial
statement,
and
we
are
also
required
to
communicate
some
significant
accounting
policy
which
are
described
in
the
Note
1
to
the
city's
financial
statement
and
during
the
year
of
2022,
the
city
Implement
gas
b87
on
the
leases.
S
So
that's
the
new
Gatsby
government
accounting
standard
board
statement
number
87
on
the
leases
which
the
city
Implement
during
the
fiscal
year
and
bring
those
leads
transactions
to
the
financial
statement
and
couple
other
significant
estimates.
That's
used
by
the
management,
including
the
investment,
fair
value,
depreciation
on
the
capital
asset
and,
of
course,
with
the
pension
and
other
post-employment
benefit
liability.
It
also
involved
a
lot
of
estimate
used
by
the
actual
array
to
estimate
those
liabilities
for
the
city
next
slide.
S
So
the
next
slide
will
be
all
the
result,
so
with
the
assistant
with
the
the
support
of
the
city's
management
and
the
staff,
we're
happy
to
conclude
the
audit
and
issue
our
modified
opinions.
So,
with
our
modified
opinion,
that
means
the
financial
statements
are
fairly
presented
in
all
mature
respect,
so
the
accounting
policy
and
as
the
accounting
policy
has
been
consistently
applied
and
the
estimate
that
I
mentioned
earlier.
Those
major
estimates
are
reasonable
and
not
only
does
the
financial
statement,
there
are
a
lot
of
notes
disclosure
to
accompany
the
financial
statement.
S
Those
disclosures
are
properly
reflected
in
the
financial
statement
and
there
are
also
several
compliance
audits
that
will
issue
opinions
on
and
we
also
issue
a
modified
opinion,
which
is
the
best
opinion
you
can
get
on
those
statements
and
we
do
have
a
compliance.
Finding.
That's
noted
for
the
single
order,
that's
noted
in
as
finding
2022-001
on
reporting
for
the
airport
program
other
than
that
we
did
not
know
any
other
required
internal
control
matter
to
be
reported
to
those
Charter
governance.
S
J
Okay,
thank
you,
Francis
just
couple
of
questions
for
you
and
I'll
presage.
Those
questions
with
saying
not.
Everyone
is
familiar
with
the
audit
processes
and
how
these
are
conducted.
So
I
just
want
to
get
a
couple
of
things
on
the
record
for
those
in
the
public
that
are
not
familiar.
The
pun
group,
you
have
a
major
specialty
as
I
understand
it
in
performing
audits
of
public
agencies,
including
many
municipalities.
Could
you
talk
about
the
nature
of
your
organization.
S
So
the
punger
has
been
in
business
since
2012.,
so
our
Focus
has
always
been
focusing
in
governmental
agency
and
many
other
clients.
We
service
in
also
in
the
Coachella
Valley
are
a
governmental
agency,
so
we
are
full
service
accounting
firm,
not
only
surfacing
auditing
and
auditing
service
providing
auditing
service,
but
also
provide
tax
services.
But
still
our
main
focus
is
on
the
other
side,
especially
on
the
governmental
sector.
S
So
we
are
very
familiar
with
the
the
accounting
pronouncement
issued
by
government
accounting
standard
board
which
what
we
refer
to
as
Gatsby,
that
issue
pronouncement
that
dictate
how
the
financial
statement
should
be
prepared
for
governmental
agency.
But
we
also
follow
American
Institute
of
certified
public
accountant,
their
professional
standard
on
how
to
conduct
the
audit,
which
is
what
we
call
the
generally
accepted
accounting
auditing
standard,
and
also
because
is
a
couple
of
mental
agency
audit.
We
also
follow
government
auditing
standard
in
conducting
the
audit,
so
there
are
multiple
sets
of
Professional
Standards.
S
We
follow
in
conducting
these
Audits
and
in
addition
to
that,
we
also
perform
the
single
order,
which
is
another
set
of
standard
and
requirement.
That's
what
we
call
the
uniform
guidance
that
we
have
to
follow
when
we
are
conducting
the
compliance
audit,
so
the
our
firm
is
specialized
in
conducting
these
type
of
audits.
So
that's
why
got
Professional
Service,
firm
and
I
will
I
would
say.
Probably
80
percent
of
our
clients
are
governmental
agencies.
So
that's
what
we
do.
You
know
on
the
day-to-day
basis,
all.
J
S
There's
no
such
availability,
so
the
city
has
worked
very
diligently
working
with
us
providing
supporting
documentation,
so
the
other
process
is
actually
a
very
lengthy
process.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
we
issue
those
two-page
report
accompanying
a
financial
statement
and
two-page
report.
A
comp
two
three
pages
report
accompanying
those
compliance
report,
but
the
other
processes
started
way
back
when
in
May
April
May
time
frame,
and
it
last
couple
a
couple
weeks
and
then
we
come
back
and
then
we
do.
S
A
A
T
Good
evening
Madam
mayor
mayor,
Pro,
teming
Council
in
your
agenda
packet,
we
have
a
logo
that
the
airport
is
recommending
for
approval
and
I
wanted
to
provide
a
little
bit
of
context
for
it.
We
are
in
the
process
of
thinking
more
innovatively
at
the
airport
and
figuring
out
ways
to
not
only
deliver
more
air
service
for
the
state
of
Palm
Springs,
but
also
to
focus
on
organizational
Innovation,
such
as
how
to
recruit
better
how
to
bring
people
in
to
the
workforce
better
how
to
Market
our
airport
and
services
industry-wide.
T
So
that's
the
context
for
the
recommendation
to
approve
this
logo
with
me.
I
had
the
deputy
director
of
marketing
for
the
airport,
Mr
Daniel
Meyer,
and
he
can
dive
in
a
little
bit
into
the
process
and
how
we
got
here.
Also
on
the
line
we
have
Katie
Franco
with
aviatrix
who's,
the
consultant
to
the
airport,
so
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Daniel
and
Katie,
and
then
we'll
take
any
questions
from
there.
U
U
As
you
know,
it's
been
a
process,
and
so
I
want
to
talk
about
a
little
bit,
how
we
got
here
and
why
we
decided
to
move
in
this
path
and
then
Katie
has
a
presentation
with
a
lot
more
detail
that
she'll
provide
to
you
via
zoom
and
then
we'll
have
to
take
a
have
a
q
a
session
at
the
end.
But
it
started
in
2021
when
we
developed
a
marketing
Communications
plan
for
the
airport
and
coming
out
of
that
plan.
U
U
The
airport
is
to
help
set
us
apart
from
other
airports
within
Southern
California
really
make
the
Palm
Springs
brand
stand
out,
at
least
for
the
Palm
Springs
Airport
and
make
people
and
make
it
a
way
that
people
will
consider
us
flying
instead
of
driving
into
Ontario
or
LAX
or
some
of
the
other
Regional
airports.
The
current
logo
that
we
have
now
on
our
website
was
actually
not
developed
from
the
airport.
U
U
V
B
B
V
U
V
Okay,
so
first,
thank
you
everyone.
My
name
is
Katie
Franco,
as
Daniel
mentioned,
I
am
the
owner
and
principal
of
886
Communications,
and
we
have
been
working
with
the
airport,
the
Palm
Springs
Airport
since
2021
to
help
improve
Communications
within
the
community
and
the
aviation
industry,
and,
as
Daniel
mentioned,
the
logo
that
exists
now
and
we've
been
around
for
five
or
six
years,
but
isn't
as
versatile
as
the
airport
would
like.
You
can't
stack
it
vertically.
You
can't
turn
it
into
a
social
media
icon.
V
There
is
no
accepted
color
palette
for
it,
so
the
airport
was
looking
for
a
way
to
create
a
logo
that
would
work
across
a
variety
of
mediums
and
with
that
design
process,
the
airport
was
very
certain
to
gather
different
voices
throughout
this
process.
So
airport
staff,
the
general
public,
had
close
work
with
several
Regional
stakeholders
have
helped
ensure
that
this
logo
is
going
to
be
reflective
of
a
variety
of
audiences
and
opinions.
V
V
The
airport
staff
is
one
of
the
most
important
stakeholders
in
level
of
development
for
the
airport,
so
they're
the
first
ones
we
worked
with
and
we
wanted
to
learn
who
they
were
and
how
they
wanted
to
be
represented.
So
we
started
by
helping
develop
Mission
Vision
of
values
for
the
airport.
These
are
foundational
guidelines
for
how
the
airport
operates,
but
also
how
it
wants
to
be
perceived,
so
they
described
the
company's
goals.
The
Way
employees
want
to
work
together
and
how
they
want
to
be
perceived
by
their
customers
in
the
community.
V
V
This
is
the
airport's
mission
statement
and
for
the
visual
representation,
the
keywords
they
were
looking
for
were
cheerful,
welcoming,
diverse
and
bold
next
slide.
So
with
the
process,
the
airport
used
surveys
to
be
able
to
gather
and
synthesize
feedback
and
then
our
meetings
to
discuss
directly
with
their
stakeholders
and
audiences,
so
starting
in
March
2022.
We
had
a
third
party
conduct
a
community-wide
survey
via
telephone
to
understand
how
the
entire
Coachella
Valley
felt
about
air
travel
and
multiple
airports.
V
In
the
first
focus
groups
and
public
meetings,
they
were
held
in
2021
to
help
us
understand
what
we
were,
what
the
community
was
currently
feeling
about
their
airport,
and
so
these
Regional
Partners
included
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
business
and
tourism,
Partners
local
businesses
and
the
Palm
Springs
Airport
marketing
committee
as
well.
In
the
fall,
the
airport
held
two
public
meetings
more
directly
related
to
the
logo
development
process
and
to
give
some
clarity
to
the
public,
as
well
as
to
solicit
public
feedback,
and
nearly
70
people
participated
in
those
two
meetings.
V
We
also
held
a
larger
stakeholder
meeting
in
the
fall
taking
a
deep
dive
into
those
draft
logos,
in
addition
to
hearing
directly
from
stakeholders
and
community
members
who
conducted
Research
into
the
architecture
and
design
that
makes
the
region
so
unique,
and
that
specifically,
of
course,
sensory
modernism.
So
a
look
at
a
combination
of
indoor
outdoor,
bold
colors,
clean
lines
and
use
of
negative
space
and
really
exactly
what
you
guys
are
known
for
and
making
sure
that
we're
creating
now
a
little
bit
more
emblematic
of
that
region.
V
We
did
look
at
several
of
the
identities
that
currently
exist
in
your
community
and
also
building
off
those
strong
fonts,
bold,
colors
and
geometric
shapes.
Some
of
these
examples
are
very
classic.
Mid-Century
modern,
like
the
Palm
Springs,
welcome
signs
and
some
take
a
more
modern
approach
to
the
colors
and
font
palettes.
Like
visit
greater
Palm
Springs.
V
Looking
at
the
airport
itself,
we
want
Palm
Springs
Airport
to
be
like
no
place
else
and
really
embody
the
Region's
vitality
and
unique
characteristics,
but
also
positioning
it
as
a
player
in
the
Region's
Aviation
Network.
So
we
looked
at
what
the
other
airports
in
the
region
were
doing.
You
can
see
here:
Ontario,
Long,
Beach,
Los,
Angeles,
San,
Diego,
John,
Wayne
and
San
Bernardino,
and
there
are
some
common
themes
throughout
these
the
use
of
blue
coming
here.
V
It
was
well
as
across
the
country
and
some
of
these
use
airplanes
in
the
logos,
some
of
them
about
half
of
them,
use
the
airport
code
and
then
the
use
of
negative
or
white
space
in
terms
of
tone.
Lax
is
very
bold.
San
Bernardino
has
a
more
abstract
feel
and
Long
Beach
has
a
SoCal
Vibe
with
the
colored
gradients,
the
lowercase
lettering
and
the
palm
tree,
and
so
there
is
a
breadth
of
ways
to
describe
your
airport
or
its
personality.
V
It's
it's
important
to
note
that
none
of
these
are
the
local
Sydney
seal
or
convention
and
visitors
bureau
brand.
These
are
all
independent
stand-alone
brands
that
represent
the
airport,
specifically
going
back
to
the
input
process
in
multiple
stakeholders.
Excuse
me:
multiple
stakeholder
focus
groups.
We
heard
directly
from
Regional
design
leaders
like
Lisa
vasler,
Smith,
Colleen,
Pace,
J.R,
Roberts,
Gary
Wexler,
and
we
received
specific
feedback
on
the
draft
logos
and
they
had
important
feedback
for
the
New
Direction
and
the
specific
design
revisions.
V
We
gathered
a
tremendous
amount
of
feedback
during
these
initial
logo
development
and
it
was
clear
that,
while
the
airport
was
interested
in
a
departure
from
traditional
airports
that
logos
signs
with
the
community
really
wanted
something
that
was
mid-century
modern
and
we
took
this
to
heart.
We
developed
new
options.
We
shifted
color,
palettes
font
Styles.
We
tone
down
the
vibrancy
of
some
of
the
color
palettes
and
we
utilize
more
white
space.
We
also
heard
from
the
stakeholders
that
we
should
be
encouraged
to
explore
the
use
of
the
airport's
code
PSP.
V
So,
with
this
important
feedback,
we
refined
existing
graphs
and
created
new
drafts.
Each
of
those
drafts
had
different
variations,
but
in
January
we
presented
nine
final
draft
logos
to
the
airport
and
stakeholders,
and
then
the
marketing
committee
selected,
the
top
or
from
the
top
four,
it's
a
preferred
choice
and
it
moved
forward
into
the
airport
commission
last
month
that
passed
unanimously
and
so
I'm
honored,
to
show
you
the
next
hopeful
iteration
of
the
airport's
logo
and
the
airport
staff,
the
marketing
committee,
the
commission,
the
overwhelming
favorite
for
this
group
was
geometric.
V
Playing
geometric
plane,
as
you
can
see
here,
is
contemporary,
clean
and
sophisticated
with
strong
roots
in
mid-sensory
modernism.
So
looking
at
the
logo
marks,
these
are
four
unique,
abstract,
geometric
shapes
that
come
together
to
form
a
plane,
a
negative
space
plane
taking
off
into
the
right
personally
I
love
that
these
are
four
different
shapes.
None
of
them
are
the
same,
but
they
managed
to
create
the
same
plane.
V
The
next
slide
shows
what
the
team's
most
important
characteristics,
and
that
is
the
versatility
of
this
logo,
so
it
can
be
stacked
vertically
horizontally.
It's
used
as
a
one
color
and
it
can
utilize
the
airport
code
PSP.
So
this
new
Option
gives
Daniel
and
his
team
the
chance
to
put
it
on
logos
on
lanyards
on
social
media
icons
on
the
website,
a
variety
of
ways
that
this
logo
will
help
him
tell
the
airport
story
across
a
variety
of
channels.
V
V
So
we
will
be
moving
into
two
tracks
of
website
developments
and
getting
that
built
and
launched
in
support
of
a
July
1
public
launch
of
the
logo
identity,
and
so
we
will
be
working
internally
behind
the
scenes
with
Daniel's
team
and
to
help
prepare
the
staff
and
get
their
uniforms
ready
and
to
prepare
stakeholders
and
make
sure
that
they
have
the
latest
version
of
the
logo
and
the
brand
guidelines
to
update
their
websites
on
staff.
Tenants
as
well,
and
then
the
public
launch,
July
1.
Will
many
of
those
elements
will
be
digital.
V
So
the
website
so
social
media
icons,
but
then
also
in
person,
including
on-site
banners
in
the
parking
lot
best
decals
or
wherever
we
may
be
able
to
promote
the
new
logo
and
identity
of
the
airport
by
that
July
1
launch
date,
and
with
that
I
will
open
it
to
questions
or
get
it
back
to
Daniel.
To
conclude,
thank
you.
J
Just
a
quick
comment,
and
thanks
the
Outreach
that
was
done
to
all
of
the
various
stakeholders
was
extremely
good
and
I.
Think
this
final
product
that
we
are
looking
at
is
a
reflection
that
we
in
fact
engaged
with
the
very
broad
section
of
Palm
Springs.
That
cares
passionately
about
these
kinds
of
issues
and
I,
think
staff
and
everyone
who
is
involved
in
making
sure
that
every
Voice
Was
Heard.
I
I
N
I
I
just
want
to
clarify
these
things.
They
just
researched
it
on
their
own.
So
first
of
all,
I
want
to
I
appreciate
you
doing
this
I
know
when
it
came
last
time.
There
was
a
quite
a
lot
of
public
comment.
We
have
an
involved
community
and
it
is
never
easy
to
have
designed
by
committee,
but
I
do
think.
This
is
proof
that
it
actually
came
out
better
as
difficult
as
I'm
sure
it
was
for
for
aviatrics
and
and
the
airport
staff.
I
I
U
I
So,
and
and
not
that
we'll
and
it
would
be
helpful
I
know
you
mentioned
a
number
of
different.
You
know
uniforms,
badges
websites,
things
like
that,
but
I
think
I
know.
Banners
obviously
are
great
as
it's
a
anything
that's
sort
of
on
the
building
or
The
Monuments
or
things
I.
Think
that
not
to
say
come
before
Council,
but
sort
of
just
be
cognizant
that
you'll
it'll
people
are
very
aware
of.
What's
going.
U
On
absolutely
that's
like,
as
you
as
you
mentioned,
with
this
whole
process,
definitely
a
very
involved
community
and
in
the
end,
I
learned
a
lot
about
Palm
Springs
met.
Some
great
people
met
a
lot
about,
preservation
really
got
to
know.
Gary,
Wexler
and
Stephen
Keelan
were
actually
learning
a
proposal
to
us
and
we
do
some
Restorations
to
the
front
of
the
terminal
so
like
some
of
the
original
typefaces
and
stuff.
I
I
We
have
a
logo,
it's
not
necessarily
a
full
branding
campaign,
but
as
we
look
at
wayfinding
as
we
look
at
seating
as
we
look
at
everything
to
sort
of
think
about
a
design
plan
to
create
a
consistent
look
so
that
we
don't
end
up
with
four
different
logos
or
four
different,
you
know
competing
Styles
going
on
because
we've
now
defined
a
style,
so
I
wanted
to
mention
that
and
I
think
I
think
the
airport
should
reflect.
You
know
our
city,
our
values,
I
think
the
historic
nature
of
the
building.
It's
it's
it's!
I
It's
it's
a
very
special
building.
It's
obviously
it's
convenient
it's
it's!
It's
an
out
indoor
outdoor,
but
the
the
architecture
itself
was
very
important.
Sort
of
involving
our
landscape
into
the
airport
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
work
on
they've
done
a
great
job
in
sort
of
growing
our
airport
and
managing
how
to
do
it
and
keep
the
design
as
much
as
possible.
I
But
as
we
go
forward,
we
should
try
and
do
that
anymore
and-
and
so
I
I
also
wanted
to
so
so
when
we
look
at
other
uses
for
it
that
we
can
consider
how
this
is
done
and
I.
Also,
first
of
all,
aviatrix
I
know
the
great
respect
for
them.
They're,
wonderful
I,
want
to
mention
this
just
to
the
city
in
terms
of
a
procurement
process.
I
think
a
lot
of
the
reason
that
some
of
the
community
up
Community
concern
was
that
we
have
design
Professionals
in
town
who
didn't
know.
I
This
was
happening
and
that's
sort
of
a
reason
why
we
as
a
city
should
think
about
procurement
ways
to
reach
out
to
locals,
so
they
could
be
involved
from
the
beginning,
and
certainly
you
know
Gary
Wexler,
his
father
designed
the
airport
so
so
he's
an
important
person
to
have
involved.
But
you
know
I,
like
this
I
want
to
congratulate
aviatrix
on
sort
of
managing
all
the
community
input
on
this
and
and
new
Daniel
and
her
as
well.
I
A
A
The
next
eye
to
public
comment,
common
non-agenda
items.
This
time
has
been
set
aside
for
members
of
the
public
to
address
the
city
council
on
items
of
general
interest
within
the
subject
matter:
jurisdiction
of
the
city.
Although
the
city
values
your
comments,
pursuant
to
the
brown
act,
we
generally
cannot
take
action
on
any
items
not
listed
on
the
agenda.
Two
minutes
will
be
given
to
each
speaker.
We
have
one
public
speaker
at
this
time:

ask

public
testimony
public
hearing
and
public
comment
that
everyone
who

used,
their
full
name
I,
have
noticed
in
several
meetings.
First
names
are
only
used.
First
names
only
to
me
are
confusing,
as
I
am
not
sure
who
is
who
it
comes
off
as
a
good
old
boys
club
as
a
palm
spring
citizen
who
is
interested
in
addressing
many
public
Palm
Springs
City
Council
agenda

as
an

homelessness
and
the

I
have
had
to
follow
up
on
everything.

have
the
correct

I've
been
down
to
Martha's,
Village

Kitchen
in
India.
The
bus
number

doesn't
even
stop
coming
back.
O
West
I
asked
this
body
to
look
at
the
lack
of
sunline
bus

in
Palm

for
the
poor
Martha's
Village
in
kitchen
Inc
has
violated
my
civil
rights
even
without
knowing

as
a

So
now
I
advocate
for

and
samsa

As
mayor
council
members
I
think
we
have
up
on
the
screen.
Some
of
the
upcoming
items
that
are
coming
up
on
on
April
27th
I
do
want
to
mention
you'll
notice.
So
you
know
we
have
questions
from
time
to
time
on
traffic
signal
synchronization,
so
we've
asked
our
city
engineer
and
representative
I
think
from
cvag
will
be
here
to
give
us
an
update
on
the
synchronization
projects.
Of
course,
our
cdbg
annual
action
plan.
E
We
are
expecting
to
have
it
as
you'll
note,
public
hearing
on
the
tentative
Dream,
Hotel
Amendment
and
then
most
likely
a
tot
vacation
rental
Revenue,
sharing
program
for
affordable
housing.
That's
been
discussed
by
the
council
members
I
do
want
to
mention
some
other
items
that
are
kind
of
developing
and
may
very
well
be
on
the
April
27th
agenda,
which
includes
some
of
the
airport
lease
work
that
our
Airport
Manager
is
doing.
E
The
City
attorney
advises
me
that
we
may
very
well
have
our
reparations
contract
on
the
agenda
for
the
next
council
meeting
for
consideration
by
the
council.
We
may
have
some
homelessness,
hopefully
some
homelessness
update
stuff
to
to
follow
up
on
that.
We
talked
about
earlier
today,
third
party,
delivery
fees
that
I
believe
and
I
understand
came
out
of
the
pandemic,
and
Council
asked
us
to
bring
back
an
ordinance
on
that
as
well.
Looking
a
little
farther
in
to
May
and
in
May
25th
I
do
want
to
mention
somewhere
during
the
month
of
May.
E
B
A
I
So
first
I
just
wanted
to
say
to
the
public
the
applications
for
the
affordable
housing,
Monarch
Monarch
apartments
are
now
open.
The
wait
list
is
actually
open
and
that
is
on
the
city's
website
and
hopefully
we'll
be
getting
out
more
to
the
public,
but
there's
60,
affordable
housing
units
at
Indian
and
San
Rafael
I
also
want
to
congratulate
Jeff
kelsheimer
for
firefighter
of
the
year.
I
I
wanted
to
mention
that
Ann
Shepherd
will
be
getting
her
star
on
the
Walk
of
Stars
on
Thursday
at
11
A.M
and
who
is
instrumental
in
a
lot
of
the
public
art
in
the
city
and,
lastly,
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
Harold
matzner
who's,
who
is
left
or
as
moving
on
from
his
position
as
chair
of
the
film
Palm
Springs
International
Film
Festival,
although
he'll
still
be
involved.
Thank
him
for
what
everything
he
did
for
our
city
for
our
brand
and
for
the
film
festival.
I
L
And
I'll
Echo
the
comments
and
appreciation
and
Kudos
and
hats
off
to
Harold's
man,
Harold
matsner
for
23
years
of
service
with
the
film
International
Film
Festival
and
wish
him
the
best
in
his
retirement,
and
we
know
he's
not
going
to
go
far
and
continue
his
work
in
the
community.
So
thank
you
for
two
decades
of
great
work
in
the
community.
So
far.
J
Thank
you
I,
second
and
third,
the
comments
of
my
colleagues
and
want
to
once
again
thank
everyone
who
was
involved
in
the
85th
birthday
celebration.
That
was
an
incredibly
memorable
day
for
all
of
us
and
the
crowds
were
just
absolutely
fabulous.
It
was
a
perfect
day
in
Palm
Springs
and
it
was
such
a
team
effort
of
City
officials,
the
mayor
and
her
leadership
and
our
business
community
and
Mr
McCormick.
J
J
Lastly,
We
are
continuing
to
work
with
cvag
and
other
cities
on
getting
the
funding
that
is
needed
for
the
bridges
at
specifically
on
Indian
Canyon,
although
I've
personally,
given
up
on
getting
Gene
Autry
included
in
that
at
this
point,
I
don't
have
an
Ask
of
council
or
of
Staff
in
terms
of
additional
actions
that
are
needed,
but
we
are
in
very
much
in
the
budgetary
process.
The
federal
government
is
is
going
to
be
acting
and
we
may
need
additional
resources
at
a
very
one,
very
short
notice.
J
In
order
to
make
our
presentations
to
to
Washington
as
needed,
I
did
have
an
opportunity
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
as
a
part
of
a
league
of
California
cities
delegation
to
have
a
few
minutes
to
talk
with
our
current
Congressman
Calvert
regarding
the
importance
of
that
project
and
was
very
pleased
with
his
receptivity.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
have
a
mayor's
book
club,
this
Thursday
April
13th
at
the
Mizell
Center
at
6,
00
PM.
The
book
is
a
series
of
essays
and
a
book,
titled,
disability
visibility
and
there
will
be
an
ASL
interpreter
at
that
event
and
again,
thank
you
all
for
for
Saturday
by
the
end
of
it,
I
was
just
overcome
and
just
tearing
watching
everybody
have
so
much
fun
in
in
this
city
that
I
love
so
much
and
with
that,
unless
we
have
any
other
comments,
seeing
none
all
right.
