K
K
L
Mayor
Pro
tem
City,
Council
Members,
my
name
is
Ernest
cecenya
I'm,
chairman
of
talk
which
Creek
Golf
neighborhood
organization.
My
community
is
neighbor
to
the
Tahquitz
Creek
wash,
which
you
know
has
been
overrun
by
homeless,
I'm,
going
to
spare
the
details
of
the
filth
and
frustration
and
fear
that
my
neighborhood
has
had
to
live
with.
L
L
A
M
Hello,
I'm,
Adam,
Mayer
and
City
Council,
Members
I'm
just
want
to
quickly
say
my
name
is
Rebecca
larte
for
item
1D
on
behalf
of
the
Palm
Springs
Public
Library
Foundation.
Thank
you
so
much
to
the
city
staff
City
attorneys
for
all
the
hard
work
in
coming
to
the
memorandum
of
understanding,
we're
very
excited
about
the
work
that
is
ahead
and
are
excited
about
the
partnership
with
the
city.
Thank
you.
N
A
A
All
right
at
this
time
we
will
close
public
comment.
The
next
item
is
the
consent.
Calendar
I
will
entertain
a
motion
to
accept
the
count,
consent
calendar
without
items,
one
I
and
one
H
which
were
removed
for
separate
discussion.
Do
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
we'll
do
that?
Do
you
actually
we'll
go
ahead
and
make
allow
mayor,
Pro
tem
to
give
his
comments
about
the
item
before
we
vote
item
go
ahead.
D
D
D
So
the
ad
hoc
committee
has
appointed
from
the
existing
applicants
to
the
commissions,
which
do
not
require
full
Council
interviews
or
review
those
three
Historic,
Site
preservation,
board,
planning
and
measure
J
are
supposed
to
happen
sometime
in
the
next
few
weeks
and
after
today
we
will
start
announcing,
which
commissions
still
have
current
vacancies.
I
think
most
of
them
probably
a
lot
of
them.
Do
administrative
appeals
as
alternates
Parks
and
Rec.
Public
arts,
and
especially
sustainability,
has
a
lot
of
vacancies
and
Village
exports.
D
So
we'll
see
that
later
and
to
look
at
the
website
for
those
applications
and
once
they're
filled
going
forward,
it
will
be
we'll
take
applications
for
two
months
out
of
the
Year
prior
to
the
new
appointments.
So
a
lot
of
people
have
asked
questions.
I
just
wanted
to
comment
and
give
some
of
the
answers
to
that.
Thank
you.
D
I
forgot
to
address
that
one
point
so
because
there
were
so
many
appointments
and
so
many
commissions
that
needed
it.
What
we
we
did
not
do
that
for
this
round,
however,
we
are
asking
each
appointee
to
meet
with
the
chair
prior
to
prior
to
their
starting
on
the
commission
and
they're,
also
going
to
go
through
with
our
City
attorney
and
city
clerk,
some
rule
pop
rules,
procedures
and
policies
regarding
being
on
a
commission
and
how
operationally
it
works.
O
A
P
Thank
you
so
much
good
afternoon,
garnering
Council,
my
name
is
Lauren.
Wolfer
I
am
speaking
today
on
item
1H.
In
my
capacity
as
program
director
at
the
Palm
Springs
Cultural
Center.
We
want
to
express
our
support
for
the
proposed
pop
art,
Park
pop
art,
Parks
the
little
that
one's
a
bit
of
a
tongue
twister,
but
we
love
the
idea
in
Block
G
that
has
been
proposed
by
public
Arts
commission
chair
Gary
Armstrong.
P
We
have
had
the
privilege
of
screening
outdoor
movies
as
free
community
events
in
the
downtown
park
through
our
movies
in
the
Park
series,
thanks
to
the
generous
support
of
the
city
of
Palm,
Springs
NPS
Resorts
and
we've
seen
firsthand
how
much
our
residents
and
visitors
enjoy
the
downtown
park
and
the
area
surrounding
the
forever
Maryland
statue.
This
is
a
much
needed
cultural
Hub
in
the
heart
of
downtown,
and
we
deeply
appreciate
all
of
council's
hard
work
and
bringing
these
amenities
to
our
community.
P
We
also
thank
Mr
Armstrong
for
bringing
this
proposal
forward
and
look
forward
to
seeing
this
excellent
addition
to
the
downtown
Park
area
and
finally,
I
just
wanted
to
Echo
mayor
Pro,
tem
Bernstein's
suggestion
in
a
previous
investing
in
the
Town
Park
Amphitheater.
This
feature
of
the
park
has
proved
exceptionally
popular
with
residents
and
it
would
be
wonderful
to
see
it
developed
into
something
on
par
with
the
amphitheaters
in
the
cities
of
Cathedral
City
and
Rancho
Mirage.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
time.
A
Q
The
Arts
commission
has
proposed
this,
as
it
will
become
a
point
of
interest
for
visitors,
make
the
area
just
a
bit
more
vibrant
and
interesting,
and
it
will
be
there
for
members
of
the
public
to
enjoy
the
the
recommended.
Action
would
be
to
accept
a
donation
of
artwork,
the
artwork
pinwheel
by
artist
Larry
LeBeau,
which
was
donated
to
the
City
by
Ann
Sheffer,
and
the
public
Arts
commission
has
approved
that
and
is
recommending.
Q
Q
D
I
was
going
to
pull
it
as
well,
but
I
I.
What
my
question
that
came
up
last
time,
which
I
I
do
you
know
I
do
support.
This
was
what
what
is
happening
in
other
parks
and
other
parts
of
the
city.
I
mentioned
specifically
Victoria
Park
that
doesn't
really
have
any
art,
except
for
one
piece
and
I
would
like
to
see
it
in
all
the
parks.
R
One
was
in
Las
Palmas
and
that's
where
the
community
of
Las
Palmas
came
to
us
and
said
we
want
some
artwork
along
Chino
Road,
and
so
we
gave
them
five
thousand
dollars.
They
came
back
with
some
artists.
They
then
raised
the
rest
of
the
funds
themselves
and
then
they're
getting
that
installed.
The
one
that
to
me
was
the
most
successful
was
what
we
did
in
demuth
park
and
demuth
park
came
to
us
and
said
we
want
a
neighborhood
Grant.
R
We
want
to
paint
some
picnic
tables
and
benches,
and
we
said
okay
you'll
get
money,
bring
us
the
designs.
They
brought
us
designs.
You
guys
saw
the
designs,
prove
them
as
they
were
doing
that
they
realized.
There
was
a
lot
of
community
Spirit
behind
it
and
that's
how
demuth
Art
in
the
Park
started.
It
was
because
these
park
benches
started
being
painted
with
the
neighborhood
Grand
and
in
my
head,
it
sort
of
changed
what
the
program
was,
and
it
became
more
of
a
an
accelerator
program
where
we
were
getting
seed
money
to
the
communities.
R
So
when
I
say
it
was
moderately
successful
program,
I
think
that
what
we
missed
as
a
commission
was,
we
focused
on
neighborhoods
rather
than
places
where
many
neighborhoods
get
together
and
we
didn't
Focus
specifically
on
what
a
neighborhood
represented.
It
could
be
one
block
over
from
another
one
who
got
a
neighborhood
Grant.
So
what
we're
going
to
be
doing?
Oh
and
the
five
thousand
dollars
really
wasn't
enough.
So
as
we
found
we
had
to
augment
financially
for
a
lot
of
these
programs
to
kick
off
in
a
big
way.
R
So
when
we
did
the
the
fossils
in
little
Tuscany,
that
was
a
five
thousand
dollars
for
temporary
piece
I
believe
it
was
council
member
Woods
Houston
said:
can
we
get
that
permanently?
So
we
said
yes,
we'll
approve
the
funds
to
put
it
in
there
permanently
the
same
thing
with
popsicles.
Now
popsicles
is
one
of
our
most
Instagram
pieces.
R
The
problem
with
it
is
it's
on
a
private
lot
and
the
owner
is
always
looking
to
sell
that
lot
and
it's
not
the
best
sighting
of
it.
When
you
take
a
picture
of
it,
you
see
a
for
sale,
sign
and
wires
behind
it.
Just
doesn't
look
like
the
beauty
of
Palm,
Springs
and
I
know.
Some
of
you
are
at
the
last
joint
commission
meeting
last
June
and
I've
spoken
I
said
one
of
the
things
we're
going
to
focus
on
is
reciting.
The
artwork
I
want
every
piece
of
artwork.
R
So
when
it's
photographed
like
it
or
not,
we're
in
an
Instagram
generation,
so
every
piece
of
artwork
should
be
photographed
and
become
promoting
Palm
Springs.
Every
person
who
posts
this
on
our
social
footprint
will
become
an
ambassador
for
the
beauty
of
Palm
Springs.
So
we
want
to
take
pieces
that
are
really
popular
pieces
and
put
them
in
an
Avenue
and
a
venue
and
frame
them,
so
they
make
Palm
Springs
look
its
best.
So,
probably
six
months
ago,
I
went
to
the
Parks
Commission
and
I
said:
popsicles
is
very
popular.
R
So
when
we
found
out
about
this
Lot
G,
we
thought
well,
maybe
popsicles
can
go
there
and
it
fits
perfectly
because
there
is
a
land
of
Landscaping
that
we
can
put
it
up
there
and
when
it's
photographed
you
will
see
the
mountains
and
you'll
see
the
Palm
Springs
behind
it.
Now
I
also
talked
about
context.
Whenever
we
put
a
single
piece
of
artwork
in
a
big
space,
we
have
to
ensure
it's
not
lonely
and
that's
why
we
thought.
Well.
You
know
we
have
lawn
chair
and
lawn
chair
used
to
be
the
Skylark
Hotel.
R
A
lot
of
people
didn't
even
know
that
was
public
art.
It's
sitting
in
our
storage
facility
right
now
and
we
thought
well,
if
we
put
popsicles
with
lawn
chair
there,
they'll
sort
of
work
as
a
grouping
and
they'll
attract
attention.
You
know:
I,
don't
subscribe
to
the
fact
that
the
only
people
that
go
downtown
are
visitors,
I,
think
that
a
lot
of
residents
go
downtown
and
I
had
a
meeting
with
nona
Watson
on
Monday
about
trying
to
get
more
people
downtown
more
residents
for
her
Park
program.
R
There,
The
Rock
in
the
park
and
I
said
here's
one
thing
we're
thinking
of
his
friend
counselor.
She
said:
I
love,
it
people
love
it
we'll
get
them
there.
So
the
thinking
is,
the
pop
art
will
be
said,
that's
big
and
vibrant
and
bright,
and
it
will
get
people
to
do
that.
Now
back
to
the
original
challenge
of
the
neighborhood
grant
program.
What
we're
going
to
do
is
we're
going
to
put
it
on
steroids,
we're
really
going
to
amp
it
up,
but
rather
than
offering
it
to
neighborhoods
we're
going
to
Target
specific
parks.
R
So
we're
going
to
give
a
fifty
thousand
dollar
Grant
to
a
place
like
Victoria
Park
and
see
we
want
the
community
to
come
together.
We
want
you
to
help
us
come
up
with
something
that
will
go
in
this
park,
we're
going
to
Target
Two
Parks
per
year,
and
the
first
two
parts
are
going
to
be
the
James
o
Jesse
Center
and
Victoria
Park
we're
going
to
start
North
and
work
our
way
down.
R
R
A
year
ago,
it
was
a
year
ago
yesterday
that
I
came
to
her
office
and
mentioned
a
program
that
I
wanted
to
do
something
along
North,
Riverside
Drive
and
talk
with
reverse
States
and
I
said
I
want
to
do
an
Eco
art
walk
here.
It's
a
beautifully
landscaped
area.
I
want
to
put
some
artwork
here
and
I
want
to
create
a
Vista
so
that
when
people
come
to
that
area,
they'll
take
a
picture
and
it
will
look
like
an
amazing
Palm,
Springs
postcard,
you
know
things
get
pushed
to
the
side.
R
Step
doesn't
happen,
all
of
a
sudden
get
a
call
from
planning
they're,
like
we
heard
you
talking
about
something
about
this.
Can
we
do
something
here
so
I'm
meeting
with
Planning,
Commission
and
bro,
or
the
planning
department
and
brought
in
sustainability
and
code
enforcement
and
the
neighborhood
association
talk
through
the
whole
idea
and
we're
like
we're
going
to
make
this
happen?
So
not
only
are
we
doing
things
specifically
in
Parks,
but
we're
trying
to
create
other
neighborhood
areas,
so
the
artwork
doesn't
seem
lonely.
R
D
R
I
just
want
to
throw
one
more
number
that
I
did
drive
G
up
the
wall,
while
he
was
doing
business
and
I.
We
work
on
a
July
through
June,
fiscal
and
I
ran
all
of
our
numbers
of
projects.
We've
done
this
year
and
60
of
the
art
pieces
are
not
in
the
downtown
area,
so
they
may
be
pieces
that
the
newer
council
members
may
not
be
aware
of,
but,
as
I
said,
60
of
our
spending
is
outside
of
downtown.
Okay,.
O
R
You're
hitting
something
else
I'm
doing
we're,
trying
to
create
a
consistent
template
for
all
the
plaques
and
each
of
the
plaques
have
that
information
on
there.
Not
every
piece
has
a
plaque
but
again
I'm
from
the
magazine
world
and
the
ethos
there
was
every
photo
deserves
a
caption,
so
we're
trying
to
create
these
amazing
photos
and
give
captions
to
them.
O
R
O
R
Other
thing
that,
as
one
of
my
goals
since
I
joined
the
commission
when
I
go
to
a
city,
I
look
at
things
to
do
activities
to
do,
and
you
just
need
to
go
to
trip
advisory
Yelp
and
they
have
art
walks
where
they
on
their
on
TripAdvisor.
They
will
say:
go
here.
Go
here
go
here.
We
need
to
do
that
as
well,
so
I'm
talking
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
tourism
about
that
excellent.
Thank
you.
Thank.
G
You
thank
you
so
much
for
your
leadership
and
your
work.
This
question
might
be
to
City
staff,
but
the
question
is:
are
we
replacing
the
popsicle
art
with
another
piece
of
art,
I
hate
to
cannibalize
existing
public
art
that
we
already
have
deployed?
I
know
that
was
important
to
the
community.
You
answered
to
me
why
we
should
move
it
and
I
agree,
but
can
we
put
another
piece
there.
G
Q
Well,
Armstrong,
thank
you
councilmember.
We
would
just
have
to
update
the
agreement
to
the
extent
that
that
property
is
available
and
vacant
and
the
owner
is
willing
to
work
with
the
city
to
place
the
art
there.
That
is
possible.
However,
it's
my
understanding
from
other
Commissioners
also
who've
communicated
with
the
owner,
that
they
intend
to
build
something
on
that
site.
So.
G
I
see
thank
you,
so
you've
communicated
with
the
owner
and
they're
no
longer
potentially
interested
in
maintaining
the
art
for
a
long
time.
So
perhaps
the
commission,
because
I
agree
that
we
need
more
art
everywhere
in
the
city.
We
do
more
art
downtown.
We
need
more
art
in
our
Parks.
I
would
push
you
to
think.
Can
you
do
more
than
two?
Can
we,
as
a
team
do
more
than
two
parks
a
year?
We
have
a
number
of
parks
who
really
need
it.
G
I
saw
that
this
city,
the
art
commission,
the
art
fund
that
we
have
for
the
art,
commission
and
the
city
council
to
deploy,
is
pretty
significant,
and
so
it
looks
like
we
have
resources
there
to
deploy.
So
I
would
just
love
to
see
us
also
when
we're
removing
the
Popsicles
from
that
neighborhood
place.
Other
are
and
think
through,
where
that
might
be
able
to
go
because
I
know
the
council
member,
for
that
District
was
a
strong
Advocate
before
for
maintaining
that
and
investing
in
the
neighborhoods
as
well.
Thank
you,
I.
R
R
So
we
every
commissioner,
is
acting
as
a
project
manager,
so
we're
out
there
doing
things
and
we're
the
ones
in
the
field
doing
that
I
would
love
to
do
a
lot
more
work
and
I'm
going
to
ask
if
you
can
accelerate
my
Commissioners,
because
right
now,
I'm
a
commission
of
four.
So
we've
got
four
people
and
even
though
you're
going
to
get
new
ones
and
I'm
still
going
to
be
at
four,
so
the
more
people
you
can
get
me
the
more
work
I
can
do.
Thank.
G
A
F
O
A
E
E
I
would
like
to
mention
to
the
council
members
that
we
we
still
expect
all
of
the
infrastructure
work
to
begin
in
July
there
as
scheduled,
the
module
modular
units
are
scheduled
to
arrive
in
September
as
scheduled,
and
then
all
of
the
rest
of
the
Land
Development
related
to
the
project
will
continue
on.
So
we'll
be
talking
a
lot
more
about
that
on
June
5th
and
at
this
time
I'd
like
to
turn
the
report
over
to
assistant
city
manager,
Theresa
Gallivan,
to
go
over
the
report.
E
S
S
It's
a
recommendation
that
Council
approved
the
contract
service
agreement
to
provide
these
services
and
they
would
begin
June
1st
and
go
through
May
31st
2026.
Palm
Springs
has
experienced
an
increase
in
our
homeless
population
and
we
have
been
working
on
longer
term
Solutions,
as
city
manager,
styles
just
recommended
to
provide
services
and
temporary
to
permanent
housing
at
any.
Given
time
there
are
a
number
of
homeless
encampments
in
the
city
that
do
require
attention.
These
sites
can
become
dumping
grounds
for
trash
and
debris
and
sometimes
contain
hazardous
and
biohazardous
waste.
S
Ofrs
would
be
responsible
for
working
with
the
police
department
and
cleaning
up
the
various
sites
on
an
as
needed
basis
with
the
police
department
supervision.
The
services
would
include
remediation
disinfection
debris,
removal,
bagging
and
tagging
personal
property
for
storage
posting
and
noticing
prior
to
clean
up
events
and
proper,
hazardous
and
biohazardous
waste
disposal.
S
Public
Works,
along
with
our
Police
Department,
worked
with
the
procurement
and
Contracting
Department
to
issue
a
request
for
proposals
to
to
bring
a
contractor
forward
for
these
needed
Services.
Eight
proposals
were
received
and
evaluated
by
a
team
from
Public
Works,
the
police
department
and
our
office
of
neighborhoods
ofrs
was
ranked
among
the
as
the
highest
by
the
evaluation
team
and
is
being
recommended
for
Award
of
the
contract.
S
T
T
What
just
as
important
as
what
we
do
in
ORS
is
also
important
to
know
what
we
do
not
do.
We
do
not
see
ourselves
as
a
solution
to
homelessness
a
camp
abatement
team.
We
are
not
a
camp
abatement
team,
we
recognize
the
multiple
constitutional
challenges
of
abating
camps
and
we
are
very
sensitive
to
that
as
a
department,
we're
also
not
social
workers.
T
We
understand
that
people
have
very
complex
needs
and
again
try
to
work
with
the
people
who
are
Professionals
in
this
area,
Point
people
to
them
and
then
employ
them
and
implore
them
to
come
out
into
the
field,
we're
also
not
a
private
company
or
nor
will
we
use
a
private
company
to
remove
the
unhoused
from
encampments.
This
is
only
for
the
purpose
of
cleanup
with
police
oversight.
Our
goal,
our
sole
goal,
is
to
reduce
the
amount
of
criminal
activity
in
the
community.
T
Camp
abatement
becomes
a
a
pretty
significant
question.
There
are
only
really
three
circumstances
where
we
believe
that
we
have
the
ability
to
clear
encampments,
the
first
of
this
unprivate
property,
and
we
are
directed
by
the
owner
of
that
property
to
help
them
by
arresting
people
who
are
currently
trespassing.
T
If
that
is
the
case
in
by
law,
we
have
to
help
them
and
and
at
the
demand
of
the
property
owner
to
either
request
that
they
move
or
arrest
them.
The
second
circumstance
is,
if
there's
a
public
health
or
safety
emergency.
If
you
remember
at
Crosley
in
Ramon
that
was
the
case
there.
We
had
documented
a
large
amount
of
feces
and
urine
and
needles
on
a
public
sidewalk
where
there
are
people
walking
at
a
commercial
establishment.
T
If
we
can
get
their
mobile
evaluation
team
out
here,
which
is
a
struggle
sometimes
the
third
reason
that
we
can
remove
people
is,
if
there's
a
lawful
ordinance
or
a
court
order
that
permits
us
to
do
this.
An
example
would
be
when
the
airport
ordinance
was
passed,
we
were
able
to
go
in
there
and
ask
people
to
move,
and
almost
everybody
complied
immediately.
T
So
when
there's
a
lawful
order
controlling
the
time,
place
and
manner
or
a
court
order
that
allows
us
to
do
that,
then
we
can
go
in
As,
Long
As.
We
judge,
in
our
opinion
that
it
is
a
lawful
order
again,
every
single
time
without
fail,
we
give
seven
minimum
of
72
hours
notice
and
we
bring
in
the
collaboration
of
homeless,
advocacy
experts
and
refer
people
to
the
ability
to
find
housing.
Before
we
start
removing
people,
we
do
have
some
challenges
challenges
to
helping
the
homeless.
T
We
recognize
that
this
is
not
generally
a
police
responsibility,
however,
we're
the
only
ones
available,
24
hours
a
day
to
try
to
meet
the
needs
of
people
whose
difficulties
are
far
beyond
our
capacity.
We
are
not
trained
to
deal
with
significant
mental
health
issues
or
poverty
or
drug
addiction,
however,
we're
the
only
ones
available.
So
somebody
has
to
do
it.
We
can
use
greater
County
involvement
and
there
are
39
teams
county-wide.
T
So
we
certainly
need
help
with
this
cleanup
of
the
environmental
damage
that's
taking
place
and
by
the
way
the
community
members
can
help
us
with
this
by
not
putting
things
on
the
curb
for
free,
because
that
will
ultimately
wind
up
in
one
of
our
sensitive
habitats
and
the
Constitutional
protections
are
in
place.
I
want
to
reassure
you
of
that.
First
of
all,
we
have
stringent
policy.
T
We
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
very
clear
and
Lieutenant
Hutchinson
is
here
today
and
he
has
shouldered
a
great
deal
of
this
burden,
he's
taking
it
on
he's
just
done
a
marvelous
job
and
I
want
to
applaud
you
for
that
Hutch,
intense
supervision
and
Leadership
any
time
we're
approaching
encampments
or
dealing
with
people
there's
always
a
supervisor
and
or
manager
there
unseen.
We
just
not
do
not
leave
this
to
chance.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
there's
very
close
supervision.
T
We
have
given
our
people
detailed
training
on
a
NOAA
Camp
abatement
policy
because
of
the
Constitutional
issues
involved.
I
think
the
City
attorney
will
go
into,
but
we
clearly
understand
Martin
versus
Boise
and
the
prohibition
on
moving
people
who
are
homeless
without
adequate
bed
space.
Now,
some
of
that's
up
for
interpretation
and
I'll,
let
the
our
attorney
speak
to
that.
T
However,
we
clearly
understand
and
are
so
grateful
that
the
council
is
moving
forward
with
a
navigation
Center,
because
that
will
give
us
the
ability
to
funnel
people
to
a
place
where
they
can
get
the
help
they
need
and
clear
out
some
of
these
encampments
that
way:
police
oversight
of
the
company
when
the
company,
whether
it's
this
company
or
any
company,
operates
under
our
care.
We
will
always
have
a
police
officer
there
on
scene,
making
sure
that
we
are
going
to
intervene
in
case.
Something
is
amiss.
T
It's
tagged
and
bagged
and
marked
very
clearly
who
it
belongs
to,
and
we
return
that
to
people
when
they're
ready
for
it,
and
so
these
are
some
of
the
things
that
we're
doing
currently
with
operation,
Relentless
sun
and
we're
seeing
some
positive,
very
positive
effects.
But
we
also
want
to
make
sure
we're
doing
this
in
the
right
way.
T
One
of
the
things
that
really
has
dawned
on
me
as
I've
gotten
to
know
our
department
better
is
we
have
multiple
officers
whose
family
members
are
currently
homeless,
and
so
we
deal
with
this
from
a
place
of
compassion,
but
at
the
same
time
there
has
to
be
order
and
that's
why
we've
done
up
to
this
point.
Thank
you.
J
Council
members
I'd
like
to
remind
you
as
staff
as
indicated
the
contract
before
the
council
tonight
is
aimed
at
moving
property
debris
and
waste
not
aimed
at
moving
individuals
from
public
property.
I
know,
there's
been
some
discussion
of
the
court
case
of
Martin
versus
Boise
that
Case
established
a
rule
that
cities
may
not
enforce
criminal
penalties
for
sitting,
sleeping
or
relying
on
public
property
against
homeless
individuals
if
there's
not
available
shelter
available
for
those
individuals.
J
However,
since
the
Boise
case
was
handed
down
later,
courts,
including
federal
courts,
have
clarified
that
Boise
does
not
establish
a
constitutional
right
to
occupy
public
property
indefinitely
at
the
option
of
an
homeless
individual.
So
it's
therefore
my
opinion
that
the
contract
before
the
council
tonight
does
not
violate
the
rule
laid
down
by
the
Boise
court.
J
If
this
contract
is
approved,
the
city
attorney's
office
will
be
working
closely
with
the
City
Public
Works
staff,
as
well
as
the
police
department,
as
we
have
in
the
past
to
ensure
that
the
rights
of
homeless
individuals
in
Palm
Springs
are
not
violated.
I'm
available
to
answer
any
legal
questions.
G
Thank
you
and
thank
you
so
much
for
the
really
thorough
presentation,
really
excellent
presentation
from
the
police
department
and
the
chief
and
City
staff
appreciate
that,
because
I
know
there
are
some
questions
about
what
this
contract
meant
in
the
community
and
we
received
some
public
comment.
Letters
as
well
about
this,
this
contract
being
about
moving
people,
and
thank
you
for
answering
that
question
of
the
public
that
this
isn't
about
moving
people,
it's
about
biohazard,
cleanup
and
other
hazards
associated
with
encampment.
So
thank
you
for
all
of
your
work
on
that
very
much
appreciate
it.
G
I
just
have
a
few
questions
about
the
contract,
and
so
that's
probably
to
the
City
attorney
I
had
raised
that
there
are
some
issues,
I
think
just
with
the
language
of
the
scope
of
services,
just
to
clarify
to
make
sure
because
obviously
we
know
this
is
such
a
tough
issue
and
cities
really
are
being
liable
for
cleaning
up
or
even
you
know,
taking
belongings
of
people
if
those
are
protected,
belongings
or
valuable
belongings.
People
might
have
a
search
and
seizure
claim
or
a
claim
against
the
city.
G
We
also
hear
people
lose
their
IDs
and
then
that
traps
them
further
into
homelessness.
Things
like
that
so
and
we
know
that
the
police
are
educated
on
the
Constitution
and
enforce
the
Constitution
I'm
worried
about
this
contractor
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
the
scope
of
services
is
really
clear
about
what
they're
doing
so
that
we're
protecting
the
city
and
also
protecting
the
people
for
the
belongings.
G
So
if
I,
maybe
I'll
just
go
quickly
through
sort
of
what
I
saw
and
see
if
there's
agreement
on
Council
or
where
you
all
want
to
go,
the
scope
of
services
I
think
is
unclear.
It
says
the
cleanup
of
homeless
encampments
in
one
point:
1A
I'm
on
page
17
of
the
staff
report
or
page
it's
in
exhibit
a
the
scope
of
services.
G
So
it
says
garbage
it
also
does
list
in
D,
constructed
temporary
shelter,
so
I
think
there's
a
question
of
I
might
put
abandoned,
constructed
temporary
shelter
or
something
like
that.
Some
of
the
language
in
the
scope
does
sound
like
it's
removing
people,
so
I
think
we
would
just
want
to
clarify
that
just
for
the
public,
it
does
say
the
contractor
will
get
approval
from
the
city.
It
says
Pratt
and
F.
It
says
prior
to
the
removal
of
any
vegetation
or
alteration
of
the
land.
G
G
And
then
on,
P
is
site
number
P.
It
says
if
a
site
is
found
to
be
occupied,
the
police
department
can
be
called
to
clear
the
site,
so
I
think
we
would
want
to
work
with
make
sure
the
contractor
is
following
the
police
department.
I
know
you
have
really
clear
policies
about
when
you're
engaging
and
when
you're,
not
so
the
can
can
be
called,
is
probably
not
clear
enough
language
for
a
contractor.
G
We
want
to
make
sure,
like
you
said
that
they
are
calling
the
police
department
or
they'll
be
on
site,
and
then
it
says,
cleanup
Crews
should
avoid
cleaning
the
site
if
it's
actively
occupied
unless
otherwise
authorized.
So
maybe
the
City
attorney
and
police
chief
can
just
work
on
cleaning
up
that
language
so
that
it's
really
clear
about
what
their
duties
are
and
what
our
Duties
are
and
that
they're
following
our
city
policies,
we
heard
a
public
comment
about
this
contractor
being
involved
in
a
city
or
a
county
that
was
sued.
G
G
S
also
says
persons
ordered
from
camps
are
told
to
take
possessions
of
importance
to
them
if
they're
arrested
and
leave
behind
valuable
usable
items,
so
right
just
clarifying
some
of
that
language.
If
on
upon
staff's
discretion,
it
also
lists
items
in
good
repair
and
then
later
on
page
20
of
the
staff
report
and
attachment
A1
it
lists
these
things
are
to
be
immediately
disposed
of
dirty
or
soiled
items,
and
so
it
explains
I
think
clearly
broken
or
disassembled.
G
J
Yes,
I
would
point
out
council
member
holsidge
that
this
City's
police
department
has
gone
to
Great
pains
to
create
a
policy
when
necessary
to
remove
a
tag
and
store
personal
belongings,
and
that
policy
has
been
blessed
by
at
least
one
federal
court
in
another
jurisdiction.
And
so
my
recommendation
would
be
for
us
if
the
council's
inclined
to
approve
this
contract
is
to
incorporate
the
city's
policies.
The
police
department
policies
into
this
scope
of
services,
so
that,
essentially,
this
contractor
will
be
guided
by
the
city's
policies
that
we've
spent
a
lot
of
time
on.
Thank.
G
You
that
would
be
my
support,
my
request,
if
Council
moves
forward
with
the
motion
and
then
if
I
could
just
ask
some
bigger
picture,
questions
sorry
to
dive
into
the
the
smaller
detail
first,
so
we
heard
from
a
neighborhood
leader
about
talk
with
swash
and
that's
of
concern
to
me
because
it's
my
district
and
we
hear
from
the
residents
who
are
impacted
and
we're
hearing
that
there
are-
is
a
significantly
large
Camp,
probably
one
of
the
largest
in
the
county.
Even
so,
can
you
we
get
those
questions
from
neighborhoods
and
neighbors?
T
So
my
understanding
is
that
there
are
four
different
property
owners
in
that
area.
One
is
Seven
Lakes
Community.
The
second
is
the
county,
flood
control
Channel,
a
third
is
another
private
property
owner,
and
then
the
fourth
would
be
the
city,
and
so
there
are
four
different
jurisdictions
in
that
in
that
flood
control.
Part
of
the
of
the
of
the
riverbed.
G
G
E
A
council
member
will
certainly
reach
out
to
the
county,
Flood
Control
District,
and
see
what
cooperation
we
can
get
from
them
to
participate
in
it.
I'll
mention
when
we're.
When
we're
also
out
there
we're
really
going
to
be
making
an
effort
to
bring
our
social
service
providers
to
the
extent
that
they
can
join
in
and
offering
services
to
folks
that
need
Services
there.
One
of
the
things
that
we
were
interested
in
with
the
current
provider
is
they
were
one
of
the
few
providers
or
the
cleanup
companies.
G
You
that
would
be
great,
please
let
us
know
how
we
can
help,
because
it
really
is
going
to
take
a
coordinated
effort.
The
city
cannot
bear
this
work
alone
and
it's
significant
amount
of
work,
as
we
know,
to
get
people
into
housing.
Get
people
into
Services
clean
up
encampments
deal
with
the
impacts.
We
just
can't
do
it
alone,
so
I
applaud
your
efforts,
working
with
with
the
county
and
social
service
providers,
and
that
was
going
to
be.
My
next
point
is
I'd
love
to
see
us.
G
The
chief
said
you
know:
people
need
a
place
to
go.
You
know
my
question
would
be
how
many
people
move
from
the
Walmart
area
moved
into
that
wash
area
and
how
many
people
are.
You
know
moving
around
in
encampments,
and
so
we
know
that's
a
mobile
community,
and
so
just
wondering.
Is
there
a
way
to
secure
beds
so
that
people
do
have
a
place
to
go?
Can
we
ask
the
county
for
dedicated
beds
or
dedicated
vouchers
for
Palm
Springs
or
work
with
service
providers
to
get
those
so
that
the
city
has
all
the
tools?
E
Yeah,
council,
member,
yes
and
I
know
our
Police.
Department
is
really
diligent
about
sharing
that
information
when
they're
out
there,
but
we
will
follow
up
I
know:
we've
had
some
conversations
with
you
and
other
members
of
council
about
really
engaging
with
the
county
just
to
work
with
them
on
resources
that
they
can
bring
to
the
table.
I
know
they've
done
that
in
the
past,
and
we've
had
good
cooperation
with
them
and
we'll
continue
to
engage
with
them.
G
Thank
you,
that'd
be
great
just
for
the
council,
sorry
to
take
so
much
time
on
this,
but
it's
really
an
important
issue.
We
want
to
make
it
sure
we
get
it
right
that
it's
constitutional,
it's
protecting
our
staff
and
our
police
department
and
the
contractors
and
our
residents
and
homeless
folks
as
well
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
and
I've
been
able
to
work
on
encampment
response.
I
worked
with
the
county
and
and
other
social
services
and
all
of
law
enforcement.
G
How
to
coordinate
a
coordinated
effort
in
Riverside,
the
riverbed
area
in
the
city
of
Riverside,
and
so
I
was
able
to
see
a
room
with
50
people,
coordinating
encampment
response
in
the
Riverside
riverbed,
so
I
would
love
to
see
something
like
that
occur
here.
Where
and
I've
also
been
on
site
with
encampment
response,
where
you
have
County
staff
housing
staff
with
vouchers
in
hand
with
transportations
to
take
people,
you
know
our
police,
like
you,
said,
I
agree:
it's
not
your
job
to
solve
homelessness
to
you.
G
G
So
I'd
love
to
see
us
work
in
partnership
with
the
county
and
with
other
social
service
agencies
to
have
a
coordinated
response
and
I'd
be
happy
to
work
with
staff
and
others
to
to
help
build
a
coordinated
response
for
those
encampments
because
they're
we
can't
the
status
quo
is
not
acceptable.
It's
not
acceptable.
It's
not
Humane
to
have
people
living
in
the
riverbed
I'm
in
the
wash
I'm
very
concerned
about
the
safety.
G
U
T
U
T
U
O
E
V
Hear
me,
thank
you,
mayor,
council
members.
Thank
you
very
much,
just
part
of
the
review
process.
We
absolutely
look
to
see
if
there
are
any
potential
red
flags
that
come
with
the
companies
we
do.
We
all
of
the
individuals
that
are
responsible
have
to
look
to
see.
Is
there
anything
going
to
be
bring
discredit
to
the
city?
Are
they
a
problem
organization?
Is
there
something
of
that
that
nature
that
could
be
problematic
as
a
local
contractor?
We
certainly
did
not
find
that
with
this
company.
V
I
I
believe
that
the
public
comment
that
was
being
addressed
is
that
the
county
itself
was
sued,
not
necessarily
the
company
that
we're
looking
at,
and
there
may
have
been
some
decision-making
issues
with
the
county.
At
that
point,
that
may
have
come
up,
but
we
did
not
find
any
lawsuits
pertaining
to
ofrs
directly
and
they
they
do
have
several
contracts
with
several
counties,
the
state
of
California-
and
they
are
here
that
could
address
any
concerns.
If
you
would
like
them
to
come
forward
and
speak
as
well.
J
If
I
might
I'd
like
to
just
reiterate
what
Lieutenant
Hutchinson
said,
I
heard
the
public
speaker
say
that
there
was
a
lawsuit
against
the
county
at
the
time
that
this
vendor
was
generally
doing
work
in
that
region.
But
I
didn't
hear
that
there
was
actually
a
lawsuit
against
this
vendor.
It
would
be
an
entirely
appropriate
question
if
the
council
is
interested
to
ask
this
vendor
if
they've
actually
been
named
in
a
lawsuit.
J
O
Thank
you
so
Scott.
The
other
thing
that
I
had
I
was
very
interested
in
is,
and
it's
not
written
down
in
the
scope
was
the
the
the
call
for
hiring
local
and,
in
particular,
giving
homeless
an
opportunity
to
work
on
the
cleanup
activities,
and
you
mentioned
that
it's
one
of
the
things
that
that
this
company
brings
to
the
table.
But
it's
not
written
down.
I
I'd
like
to
see
it
written
in
the
in
in
the
agreement
that
that
is
something
that
they're
committed
to
do
are.
E
W
This
specific
contract,
though,
based
on
what
we
have
here,
we
are
going
to
work
to
perform
that
so,
but
what
one
has
to
understand
is
the
amount
of
training
and
skill
set
that
goes
into
this
work
is
quite
extensive
and
there's
there's
additional
costs
for
us
to
perform
that
work
which
we're
open
to
doing
it's.
Not
it's
not
a
program.
W
That's
going
to
take
place
right
away,
so
what
we
are
going
to
do
is
employ
this
contract
with
with
usually
one
of
our
or
two
of
our
supervisors,
and
then
we
reach
out
to
local
whether
it's
you
know
local
shelter
like
facilities.
We
try
to
find
some
of
their
best
workers
and
then
we
teach
them
the
services.
W
O
G
W
Those
are
great
questions,
so
this
is
a
publicly
funded
project,
so
we
have
to
follow
the
dir
requirements
for
prevailing
wage.
This
will
fall
under
group,
one
labor,
which
is
an
hourly
wage
of
about
55
dollars
an
hour
so
that
that
also
leads
back
to
the
program.
So
it's
it's
kind
of
a
sticky
situation
where
sometimes
you
find
someone
that
has
not
been
employed
for
some
time.
They
come
into
a
large
sum
of
money
and
then
they
end
up
back
in
to
the
the
same
situation
that
they
were
into.
W
So
that's
why
the
vetting
program
takes
so
much
time.
You
know
making
sure
that
they've
been
sober,
making
sure
that
they
have
appropriate
housing
Etc.
As
far
as
the
local
hire
goes,
we
will.
We
will
definitely
start
this
with
our
own
employees
because
we
have
to
because
they
have
the
training
and
then
essentially,
you
know
with
a
three-year
contract.
It
only
makes
sense
to
hire
locally.
So
that's
what
we
plan
on
doing.
Thank.
G
O
D
So,
first
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
the
the
chief
for
the
presentation
that
was
really
terrific
and
I
appreciate
everything.
You've
had
to
do
without
a
lot
of
other
support,
so
I,
I
and
councilmember
hosted
your
comments.
I
agree
with
men
with
really
a
lot
of
them
is
very
thorough
and
in-depth
and
I
appreciate
you
doing
that,
and
a
lot
of
it
really
makes
total
sense.
J
Our
our
policy,
our
police
policies,
are
very
clear
in
terms
of
identifying
the
distinction
between
abandoned
property
and
property.
That's
just
there
and,
and
so
our
police
policies
would
be
incorporated
into
this
I.
Think
the
we'll
look
for
the
reference
to
dirty
I
think
that
may
have
just
been
used
in
the
staff
report.
I
wasn't
finding
it
in
exhibit
a,
but
if
maybe.
G
It's
in
the
if
I
may,
it's
in
the
attachment
A1,
and
so
it's
not
in
the
scope,
it's
referenced
in
the
scope
and
it
says
attachment
one
examples
to
take
to
storage
and
then
examples
of
items
that
are
trash
and
it
says
dirty
or
soiled.
But
then
it
says
colon
we're
getting
really
specific
items
that
smell
are
stained
with
urine
bodily
waste
or
mud,
or
are
infested
with
fleas
bed
bugs
rats
or
other
vectors
that
might
be
sufficient.
You
know
my
I
just
want
to
clarify
and
defend
my
position.
G
If
I,
can
we
frequently
rewrite
scopes
of
work?
That's
the
city
council's
job,
I've
reviewed
a
number
of
the
litigation
and
constitutional
claims
against
cities,
and
so
I'll
defer
to
the
City
attorney.
But
it
seems
to
me
you
don't
have
to
make
my
recommendations,
but
I
would
love
to
give
discretion
to
the
City
attorney
and
the
police
chief
to
at
least
rewrite
the
scope,
because
I
don't
think
that
you
looked
at
it
in
depth
about
constitutional
claims.
G
I
think
this
looks
like
boilerplate
scope
to
me
and
if
that
already
occurred,
please
let
us
know,
but
it
seems
to
me
in
protecting
the
city
that
we
would
want
to
make
sure
that
there
isn't
a
claim
that
the
contractor,
I'm
sure
you'll,
do
your
job
very
well
and
won't
have
any
claims,
and
that
would
be
great.
But
if
we
were,
they
wouldn't
have
an
argument
here
that
you
know
it
doesn't
say.
The
contractor
has
to
contact
the
police
before
removing
people
or
something
like
that
right.
D
D
Of
what
connection
I
understand,
hazardous
materials.
I
understand
contaminated
perished,
you
know
rotten
thing
whatever
or
human
waste,
but
not
if
it's
dirty
or
soiled
or
or
or
broken
or
disassembled
or
and
what's
obvious
trash
I
guess,
that's
that's
okay,
but
medications
and
Controlled
Substances
should
be
obviously
kept
in
and
held
on
to.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
our
policies
cover
what
councilmember
holstead
said,
because
that
sort
of
seems
human
decency
and.
J
Again,
the
police
policies,
as
I've
heard
from
at
least
the
majority
of
the
council,
will
supersede
these.
So
you
know
I
think
the
dirtier
soiled
would
be
red
in
connection
with
the
words
that
follow
that,
in
terms
of
you
know,
items
that
are
stained
with
urine
bodily
waste
or
mud
or
infested
with
fleas
bed
bugs
rats
or
other
vectors.
J
So
there
will
be
some
judgment,
calls
on
the
part
of
the
vendor
and
the
staff,
but
I
believe
that
between
these
exhibits
and
the
city's
policies,
there'd
be
specific
enough
direction
that
this
vendor
can
perform
the
services
in
a
way
that
would
protect
the
legal
rights
of
homeless
individuals
as
well
as
the
city.
If.
T
D
Yeah
I
mean
just
to
clarify
I,
know,
I,
know
you're,
not
we're
hiring
an
outside
company
and
that's
and
I.
Don't
you
know
and
I
know
that
I'm
sure
they're
reputable,
but
that's
why
I
want
to
just
make
sure
that
we're
not
if
it
was
a
police
I'm.
Not
it's
not.
It's
not
an
issue
really
because
I
know
how
you've
operated
with
respect
to
and
respecting
people,
but
we're
hiring
outside
companies
so
and
I
know
we'll
have
a
police
officer
there.
D
So
maybe
they
can
be
very
clear
that
what
may
be
acceptable
somewhere
else
is
not
here
and
that
it
has
to
really
pose
a
danger
and
be
hazardous.
I,
don't
know
how
to
define
this,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
our
policies
do
supersede.
If
that's
the
legal
issue
and
that
anything
in
here
that
might
be
too
vague,
is
cleaned
up
without
sort
of
rewriting
the
whole
contract.
I,
don't
know
if
that's
possible,
but
some
of
those
things
see
it
make
sense
to
me.
U
I'll
keep
this
very
brief.
All
of
us
are
trying
to
affect
the
best
policy
that
we
can.
My
concern
is
that
we
have
a
policy
that
has
been
working.
We
have
a
crisis
at
our
doorstep,
with
these
encampments
and
I
want
to
can
make
sure
that
we
move
as
quickly
as
we
can
to
provide
our
police
and
our
public
works
department
with
kind
of
resources
that
they
need
in
order
to
be
able
to
respond
to
this
and
I
don't
want
to
confuse
them
as
to
what
they
can
and
cannot
do.
U
A
Thank
you
very
much
so
I'm
hearing
a
few
different
things
right
now.
One
is
to
move
forward
with
the
recommendation
from
the
city
attorney,
which
is
to
include
the
existing
policies
with
the
scope
of
work,
to
provide
further
clarification,
and
the
other
is
to
do
that
with
the
addition
of
also
giving
the
City
attorney
and
police
department
discretion
to
further
edit
the
scope
of
work,
the
City
attorney
and
chief.
J
A
G
You
know
I
have
not
seen
and
read
the
policy
that
we
are
incorporating
so
for
me
to
do
my
job
as
a
council
member
and
we
all
all
are
on
the
same
page
and
want
to
protect
this
city.
These
are
really
significant
claims
that
I
followed
the
cases
across
the
state
for
many
years,
and
the
city
was
liable
before
I
think
and
thank
you
for
posting
notice
and
cleaning
up
and
holding
property
and
following
the
constitutional
rights
of
folks.
So
it's
really
hard
for
me
to
say:
let's
just
incorporate
that
policy.
G
I'm
sure
it's
great
I
just
haven't
seen
it,
and
so
it's
really
difficult
for
me
to
know
that
my
concerns
about
vagueness
of
terms
making
sure
it's
not
about
the
police.
The
contractor
is,
you
know
how
they're
interpreting,
what's
dirty
or
what's
abandoned,
I
think
the
concern
is
when
you
come
to
a
camp
and
you
don't
know
if
it's
abandoned
or
not
or
it
looks
abandoned
and
then
you're
removing
the
property,
and
so
it's
really
hard
for
me
to
I
I
support.
The
motion.
G
I
was
going
to
make
a
motion
to
support
initially
I.
Would
it's
just
typical
for
us
to
clean
up
a
scope
so
a
little
surprised
about
that
opposition,
so
yeah
I
think
we
should
approve
I
agree,
it's
an
urgent!
It's
urgent!
You
know
the
way
that
these
claims
worked.
Aren't
just.
If
we
have
a
problem,
then
we
fix
it.
If
we
have
a
problem,
we
have
a
multi-million
dollar
lawsuit,
so
I
want
to
just
it's
my
job
to
ensure
so
I'm
happy
to
support
the
motion.
I
support
the
city
attorney's
recommendation.
G
A
D
I
I
also
agree
with
milk
and
I.
Don't
want
to
delay
the
councilmember
Middleton
I.
Don't
want
to
delay
this
because
it's
it's
a
crisis
situation,
so
I'm
not,
and
would
it
suffice
to
say
that
we
we
attach
our
our
city
policy
that
supersedes
this
and
our
policy
could
be
changed
and
they
would
still
have
to
follow.
It
is
that
legally
allowed
are.
D
J
D
Well
then
I,
then
that's
what
I
think
is
probably
a
solution
and
we
have
our
policy
in
place
and
they
have
to
that
supersedes
this.
And
if
we
amend
our
policy
and
council
member
hostage
has
time
to
read
it,
then
we
can
update
it
as
as
necessary
to
ensure
that
we're
protecting
also
the
individuals
as
well
as
the
city.
O
And
one
other
item
to
the
list
that
you
read
off
on
the
motion.
I
think
I
heard
there
was
there
was
support
and
agreement
to
allow
the
City
attorney
and
city
manager
to
give
better
definition
to
vague
terms,
so
I
I
would
I
would
be
in
favor
of
if
the
City
attorney
sees
an
opportunity
to
better
Define
or
further
Define
the
term
that
you've
got
the
ability
to
do
that.
A
Right
yeah
that
I
believe
that
was
councilmember
hostage's
proposal.
What
I
had
been
clarifying
was
whether
or
not
the
City
attorney
felt
that
that
was
needed
or
not,
but
obviously
you
can
have
that
discretion
and
decide
after
this
meeting.
If
you
feel
that
upon
further
review
that
that's
necessary
or
not
all
right,
so
we
have
a
motion.
Or
would
you
like
me
I
can
I
can
make
a
motion.
Let's
do
this
well,
you
made
it,
but
what
is
it
for
that's
the
problem?
A
A
D
A
Fantastic,
thank
you
and
I
do
want
to
reiterate
that
I
do
think.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
policies
like
that
are
attached
to
our
staff
reports
ahead
of
time.
Just
for
that
for
that
additional
clarity,
because
you're
you're
right
councilmember
hostage,
you
should
be
able
to
have
time
to
read
that
ahead
of
the
meeting.
A
X
Good
evening
mayor
Garner
mayor
protein,
Bernstein
and
members
of
the
city
council,
it's
nice
to
see
you
all
this
evening.
I
am
joined
also
by
our
colleagues
from
Palm
Springs
Disposal
Services,
who
are
over
here
to
answer
any
additional
questions
you
may
have.
So
my
presentation
can
I
have
the
thank.
X
So,
just
a
brief
presentation
to
talk
you
through
this
procedural
item
this
evening.
So
this
is
the
process
by
which
we
moved
delinquent
waste
disposal
accounts
onto
the
county
property
tax
rolls,
and
these
are
accounts
that
have
been
delinquent
in
commercial
cases
since
before
December
of
2022
and
in
residential
cases
since
before
July
of
2022..
X
So
again,
this
is
an
annual
process
to
collect
these
charges.
This
is
authorized
as
part
of
our
Municipal
Code
chapter
4,
section
or
chapter
six
section.
Four,
it's
a
process.
We've
followed
for
many
years.
It's
also
authorized
at
the
state
level
and
it's
a
common
practice
followed
across
the
state.
X
As
of
May
16th
of
this
year,
we
did
have
796
delinquent
accounts
that
has
gone
down
to
around
730ish
delinquent
accounts.
Currently,
after
we
send
out
the
notice
letting
people
know
that
their
accounts
were
delinquent.
This
is
a
little
bit
higher
than
in
years
past,
but
not
super
significantly
and
represents
just
under
about
five
percent
of
active
accounts
based
on
my
rough
estimations,
so
the
notification
process,
so
notices
are
sent
out.
They
were
sent
out
about
a
month
ago
in
English
and
in
Spanish.
X
A
X
So
that
information
goes
over
to
the
county,
I
believe
at
the
end
of
June.
So
then
it
just
gets
placed
as
part
of
the
property
tax
bill.
So
it's
not
uncommon,
based
on
and
Chris
feel
free
to
clarify
if
I
misspeak
here
there
are
a
number
of
customers
who
kind
of
are
on
the
list
annually
and
and
do
pay
the
bill
that
way.
O
A
A
Y
Evening,
everybody
I've
been
coming
to
Palm
Springs
for
a
very
long
time
since
1980.
I
bought
a
home
in
2004.
and
I
still
own
the
same
property.
All
of
a
sudden
on
my
trash
bill
appeared
this
walk-in
service
fee
of
45
every
single
month,
I
called
at
the
time
Mr
Wade
at
Palm,
Springs
disposal,
services
and
I
said
what's
going
on
here,
and
he
said
oh
well,
you're
on
the
vacation
rental
program
and
the
city
decided
that
any
estate
size
properties
get
automatically
billed
and
I'm
like
well,
you're,
not
providing
service.
Y
So
how
can
you
Bill
me
and
he
goes
well,
it's
kind
of
that's
just
the
way
it
works.
That's
what
the
city
council
did
and
I
have
a
real
issue
with
that
I
I
used
my
Gardener
to
put
the
trash
cans
out,
bring
the
trash
cans
in
I've,
gotten
300
and
something
dollar
bill
for
a
service
that
Palm
Springs
disposal.
Never
ever
provided
and
honestly
as
a
small
business
person.
Y
I
don't
have
the
city
to
use
to
collect
my
debts
from
my
customers
that
don't
pay
their
bills,
not
that
this
is
the
case
because
I
do
pay.
My
regular
bill
I've
always
paint
it,
but
this
additional
bill
that
he's
using
the
city
vacation
ordinance
to
try
to
collect
money
from
me.
I
think
it's
unjust,
I,
don't
think
it's
fair
and
I.
Don't
think
that
I
should
be
forced
to
pay
for
a
service
that
I
don't
use
and
he
goes
well.
Why
don't
you
use
it?
It's
not
that
much
money
I
said
well.
Y
My
house
was
broken
into
in
2015..
It's
broken
into
in
2018
was
broken
into
in
2019.
There's
police
reports
regarding
all
of
it,
the
first
time
it
was
broken
into.
They
tried
to
steal
my
classic
cars.
They
couldn't
get
the
gate
open,
but
they
got
them
out
of
the
garages.
They
took
all
the
keys.
They
took
all
the
manuals,
they
took
the
registration
they
broke
into
my
guest
house.
They
were
living
in
my
guest
house.
It
was
horrible
cost
thousands
of
dollars
to
fix
everything.
Y
Y
A
D
D
X
Palm
Springs
disposal
has
been
responding.
They
you
know,
we
get
we've
gotten
a
few
questions
about.
You
know
the
nature
of
the
charge
or
you
know
what
it's
referring
to,
or
something
like
that.
Palm
Springs
disposal
has
been
working
with
customers
to
resolve
those.
Maybe
Chris
I
might
defer
to
you
to
answer
this.
One
specifically
but
I'll.
Ask
a
clarifying
question:
are
you
curious
specifically
about
vacation
rentals
or
in
general?
Well.
D
Z
Good
evening,
mayor,
Garner,
Pro,
tem,
emergency
council
members
and
staff
and
residents,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
time
I'm
Chris
Cunningham,
with
Palm
Springs,
Disposal
Services
yeah.
To
answer
your
question
we'll
go
to
the
vacation
first
of
vacation
ordinance,
it's
an
ordinance!
So
so
we
have
to
follow
that.
If
there's
another
direction
that
the
city
would
like
to
go
there,
you
know
it
will
certainly
abide
by
that,
because
it's
an
ordinance
we
we
have
to
continue
to
do
that
and
the
the
other
yeah.
Z
So
once
we
start
getting
those
complaints,
we
have
to
start
getting
creative
another
way.
So
now
we
have
the
ability
and
some
new
equipment
which
are
called
mini,
Packers
and
they're.
Smaller
collection
vehicles
that
we
can
navigate
smaller,
smaller
places
like
that
and
and
the
weight
is
much
lighter.
So
they
don't
crack
and
break
things.
Z
So
we
we
have
in
in
the
rate
schedule
a
manual
service
rate,
it's
a
semi-manual,
so
in
other
words
these
smaller
Vehicles.
They
go
into
smaller
communities,
they
have
two
drivers
in
them
and
they
get
out
of
the
vehicle
and
they
pull
them
to
the
back
and
and
have
to
really
manually.
Do
it
instead
of
the
automated
truck
and
that's
why
the
extra
charge
but
I
work
with
each
and
every
one
of
these
communities
beforehand
to
try
to
figure
out
a
much
better
solution.
Z
O
Z
O
Does
so
outside
of
vacation
rental?
So
if,
if
a
homeowner,
not
a
vacation,
rental
is
disputing
a
fee
and
that
they're
disputing
the
fee
today
and
it's
not
settled
with
Palm
Springs
disposal
by
the
end
of
the
month.
Do
they
get
turned
to
the
tax
rolls
versus
continuing
to
work
with
you
on
the
solution?
Yeah.
Z
If
it's
one
that
we
can
most
of
the
time
we're
very
flexible
and-
and
we
have
pulled
them
off
there,
because
if
we
don't
find
a
solution,
it
always
goes
on
the
next
year
and
I
have
no
doubt
we
figure
it
out.
But
in
most
cases,
if
we
do
have
a
situation
like
that
or
any
situation
where
we're
still
working
through
it,
we
will
pull
them
from
a
delinquent
list
until
we
do
and
we
can
and
we
do
have
that
ability.
Yes,.
O
Yeah,
okay,
excellent
and
then
the
just
the
last
item.
You
know
we
we
had
public
comment
on.
You
know
one
particular
situation
where
they're
not
using
the
estate
Home
Service,
I
I
would
I
would
just
like
to
see
that.
Maybe,
if
you
have
a
conversation
with
that
Resident
and
see
how
they
can
take
advantage
of
the
service,
that's
being
offered,
that's
required
to
be
offered.
U
All
right,
thank
you.
The
question
is
I
understand
it
that
the
gentleman
raised
is
the
home
is
a
home
share
and,
as
our
ordinance
defines
a
home
share,
it's
a
vacation
rental
that
is
mandated
to
have
the
estate
service
and
when
we
did
our
extensive
review
of
the
vacation
rental
ordinance
last
year.
This
was
just
an
issue
that
we
did
not
get
to
as
to
whether
or
not
it
was
appropriate.
U
That
home
shares
be
required
to
have
the
same
kind
of
estate
service
that
a
traditional
vacation
rental
has
I,
think
that's
an
issue
that
should
be
studied
by
staff
and
come
back
to
council
as
to
whether
or
not
that
policy
makes
sense.
But
with
respect
to
our
staff
today
and
to
Palm
Springs
to
disposal,
they
don't
have
any
choice:
we've
not
given
them
that
choice.
A

AA
AA
The
designation
process
was
initiated
by
the
Historic
Site
preservation
board
and
requests
the
class
1
designation
of
the
talk
with
Resort
golf
course
clubhouse
building,
which
is
located
in
the
far
right.
Sorry,
the
far
northeast
corner
of
the
parcel
shown
here,
it's
at
London
red
for
clarification,
the
designation
would
be
limited
to
the
clubhouse
building
itself
and
not
to
the
balance
of
the
golf
course
or
any
surrounding
property.
AA
A
report
commissioned
by
the
hspb
is
included
as
an
attachment
in
your
package
and
provides
a
robust
history
and
context
for
the
clubhouse
building,
which
was
completed
in
1967..
The
photos
shown
here
were
actually
taken
from
the
Hue
M
cap
tour
collection
at
the
Palm
Springs
Art,
Museum
and
capture
many
of
the
character-defining
features
of
the
resource
in
its
unaltered
form.
Against
the
backdrop
of
the
mountains.
AA
These
photos
show
the
current
condition
of
the
clubhouse.
As
you
can
see,
there
have
been
some
alterations
that
have
been
made
to
the
resource
Over
time.
However,
the
strong
sense
of
form
and
composition
Remain,
the
highlight
of
the
structure
additions
have
been
constructed
in
locations
that
do
not
or
sorry
have
been
constructed
in
locations
that
do
not
compete
with
the
original
form
and
alterations
have
been
made
that
are
reversible
and
have
not
eroded
the
historic
Integrity
of
the
original
structure.
AA
In
order
for
consideration
as
a
Class,
1
historic
designation,
the
resource
must
demonstrate
exceptional
historic
significance
and
meet
at
least
one
of
the
seven
criteria
that
are
listed
here
as
outlined
further
in
the
staff
report.
We
believe
that
this
resource
is
an
important
reflection
of
its
time.
Period,
embodies
a
unique
method
of
construction,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
the
outdoor
Breezeway
and
is
the
work
of
a
master
architect,
Hue
cap
tour
that
continues
to
influence
the
field
with
his
work
per
staff's
evaluation
and
hspb's
recommendation.
We
believe
that
criteria,
3,
4
and
5
are
met.
AA
I
do
want
to
correct
for
the
record
and
error
in
the
staff
report
that
was
found
on
page
two,
where
we
referenced
that
criteria
two
three
and
five
are
met.
That
is
an
error.
It
is
three
four
and
five.
It
is
correctly
stated
in
the
conclusion
section
of
the
report,
as
well
as
in
the
resolution
that
is
before
you.
AA
Finally,
designation
also
requires
an
analysis
of
Integrity
of
the
resource
and
the
categories
that
are
shown
here
again
based
on
our
evaluation
staff,
finds
that
the
resource
meets
all
seven
of
these
aspects
of
Integrity
as
the
resource
remains
in
its
original
location.
The
exterior
of
the
building
is
in
good
condition.
The
design
of
the
building
with
its
sweeping
roof
line
and
massing,
is
prominent
on
the
site
and
the
designs
association
with
the
mid-century
modern
style
of
architecture
is
strong
and
is
unaltered
because
much
of
the
original
and
simple
nature
is
maintained.
AA
The
historic
resources
report
and
staff
report
list
the
character
defining
features
that
will
be
designated
are
included
as
part
of
this
designation
in
more
detail.
I
won't
read
all
of
these.
However,
it
is
these
features
that
will
that
the
designation
would
seek
to
preserve,
and
it
includes
the
curved
roofline,
which
is,
you
know,
an
important
element
of
the
structure:
the
arched
Breezeway
that
I
mentioned,
and
the
glulam
beams
to
create
the
exterior
covered
Breezeway,
just
to
name
a
few
in
their
review.
AA
The
hspb
discussed
some
exterior
alterations
that
have
occurred
that
I
mentioned
previously,
including
the
Timber
and
canvas
structure
that
was
constructed
in
the
front
of
the
entryway.
So
you
can
see
that
on
the
left
image
shown
here,
the
Right
image
is
is
what
it
looked
like
when
it
was
completed
in
1967..
The
these,
the
sort
of
structures
with
those
green
awnings
were
added.
We
believe
in
sort
of
the
mid
to
late
90s,
and
so
there
was
a
lot
of
discussion
around.
AA
You
know
the
city,
considering
the
feasibility
of
removing
those
to
restore
it
to
its
original
Integrity.
Those
are
not
impacting
the
building
in
any
way
they
can
be
removed,
and
the
HSB
hspb
were
was
clear
that
those
were
advisory
comments
and
something
that
we
can
continue
to
work
with.
We
flagged
that
for
parks,
and
we
can
continue
to
look
at
the
feasibility
of
that.
You
know,
as
as
we
continue
further
improvements
to
the
property.
AA
In
summary,
our
evaluation
demonstrates
that
the
talk
with
result,
golf
course
clubhouse
displays
an
exceptional
level
of
historic
significance
and
qualifies
as
a
class,
one
landmark
in
accordance
with
our
historic
resource
ordinance.
We
support
staff.
Sorry
hspb's
recommendation
that
the
city
council
adopt
a
resolution
designating
the
the
structure
as
a
classman
landmark.
That
concludes
my
presentation.
Our
historic
preservation
officer,
Sarah
Yoon,
is
also
here
to
help
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
H
U
AA
And
I
will
say
it
was
an
exciting
moment.
He
was
able
to
actually
participate
in
the
hspb
hearing,
and
so
we
did
hear
that
directly
from
him
and
it
was
a
nice
conversation
to
hear
you
know
a
lot
about
his
original
intent
in
this
and
the
inspiration
for
his
design
and
he's
very
strongly
advocating
that
we
do
that,
and
you
know
certainly
from
the
pictures
you
can
see
the
difference
that
it
makes
in
sort
of
you
know
preventing
some
of
the
visual
look
of
that
original
sweeping
roof.
U
A
AA
AB
AB
I
think
the
intent
was
to
create
that
entry
feature.
There's
a
sign,
that's
placed
on
the
canvas
itself.
It
was
constructed
in
1997,
so
it's
it's.
It's
not
obviously
not
part
of
the
original
intent.
So
I
think
that
was
the
purpose.
If
you
look
closely,
it's
actually
not
attached
to
the
structure
at
all.
It's
a
freestanding
structure,
so
it
was
more
for
a
a
defining
intra
feature
plus
signage.
D
AA
Absolutely
I
mean
it
would
be
subject
to
a
review
through
a
certificate
of
appropriateness
which
would
be
reviewed
either
at
the
staff
level
or
with
the
hspb,
and
you
know,
certainly
if
any
alterations
or
changes
were
made
to
the
building.
We
would
look
at
that
structure
as
part
of
that
process
and
likely
if
we
didn't
take
care
of
it.
In
the
meantime,
we
would
have
the
ability
to
look
at
it
at
the
time
that
anything
is
proposed
for
the
building.
Okay,.
D
AA
Another
purpose
the
designation
doesn't
preclude
the
use
of
it.
We
would
just
again
be
looking
to
that
list
of
character.
Defining
features
to
make
sure
that
whatever
is
being
proposed
is
respectful
of
those
that
were
maintaining
the
Integrity
of
the
building
overall,
but
absolutely
the
building
can
be
repurposed
and
used
for
another
use
and.
AA
Right
through
hspb
review,
we
would
look
at
at
the
impact
of
that.
You
know
you
can
see
again.
Sarah
mentioned
that
they
had
moved
the
sign
to
those
awnings
on
the
on
the
left
picture.
You
can
see
if
you
look
very
closely
at
the
picture
on
the
right.
The
signage
originally
was
on
that
sort
of
wall
out
in
front.
We
could
work
with
them
and
relocating
that
or
looking
at
another
location.
But
absolutely
you
know
that
the
staff
level
review
and
then
working
with
the
hspb.
G
For
bringing
this
forward,
it's
a
really
beautiful
building
I
know
the
community.
Sorry,
my
mic
is
breaking.
The
community
supports
this.
That
I've
heard
from
at
least
and
I
definitely
support
removing
the
Timber
and
canvas
structure
on
the
main
facade
if
we
can,
and
also
looking
at
the
landscape,
because
I
think
that
once
that's
removed,
the
palm
trees
will
be
really
obvious.
G
Report,
thank
you
and
then
just
a
question
about
maintenance.
So
I
know
I
was
just
at
a
meeting
there
and
they
raise
the
issue
of
Maintenance
and
I
know
we
have
a
number
of
City
aging
City
buildings,
so
this
is
on
city
property
and
it's
a
city-owned
building,
but
we
contract
it
out
with
the
contractor
who
maintain
who
operates
it
right,
who's
in
charge
of
maintenance?
Is
it
still
the
city?
You
might
not
know
that
for
zero,
the
planning
department
don't.
AA
G
Be
great
because
I
think
we
want
to
protect
our
historic
resources
and
ensure
that
you
know
we
we
maintain
this
at
the
level
that
it
deserves.
We
don't
get
I
assume
we
don't
I
I've
done
a
few.
We
did.
We
did
O'donnell
golf
course,
so
we've
done
a
few
for
city-owned
properties,
but
obviously
we
don't
probably
don't
get
tax
benefits
or
anything
like
that,
but
do
we
get
other
benefits
or
other
state
funding
or
Investments
that
we
could
search
to
find
make
investments
in
these
properties
that
need
maintenance
and
more
repair?
G
AB
On
the
state
level,
there
are
state
funded
grants
and,
and
things
that
we
can
apply
for
so
we
certainly
will
be
looking
into
that
in
the
upcoming
future.
We
are
a
CLG
institution,
so
we
will
have
that
ability
to
apply
for
Grants
and
I
think
that
the
way
that
those
grants
are
used
can
can
be
at
our
discretion
and
so
looking
to
maintain
City
properties
that
are
historic
are
certainly
an
option.
G
AB
A
AC
Good
evening,
mayor
Garner,
a
pro
tem
Bernstein
and
City
Council
Members.
Thank
you
for
listening
to
me
tonight.
I'm
Stephen,
Keelan
I'm,
vice
president
of
the
Palm
Springs
preservation,
Foundation
I'm.
Also
the
author
of
the
book,
the
modern
architecture
of
Hugh
Michael
captor.
As
a
member
of
pspf.
We
wholeheartedly
support
this
and
are
excited
to
see
this
go
through.
Hugh
came
to
dinner
the
other
night.
It
was
his
92nd
birthday
and
this
did
come
up
and
he
wanted
me
to
tell
you
that
he
fully
supports
this.
But
please
remove
this.
AC
He
used
a
word.
I
won't
say
thing
in
front
of
the
building
and
he
does
support
kind
of
scaling
back
the
landscape
to
let
this
this
building
really
sing.
You
know
and
I
wrote
about.
He
is
such
a
great
artist
and,
in
his
architecture,
he's
truly
a
sculptor
and
there's
no
better
example
of
that
than
in
this
building.
So
thank
you
for
considering
this.
A
D
It's
on
our
property
and
we're
not
subject
to
differing
opinions
from
from
the
owners
and
I
agree
if
that
serves
no
purpose,
that
ugly
thing
should
be
removed
and
I
would
strongly
encourage,
and
if
maybe
pres
the
the
the
book
you
did
is
terrific
on
on
on
Mr
captor,
and
it's
really
a
great
book
that
benefits
the
preservation.
Foundation,
but
I
would
encourage
anything.
D
We
can
do
to
sort
of
make
the
whole
landscape
and
the
whole
thing
look
like
it
did
originally
would
be
really
terrific,
because
the
city
won't
necessarily
have
the
resources
or
the
or
to
do
it,
and
if
the
preservation
Foundation
can
help.
But
I
wholeheartedly
support
this.
This
class
one
historic,
designation
and
I
think
it's
a
terrific
building
and
and
just
as
a
side
note
I
love
these
staff
reports
on
the
historic
designation.
It
gives
great
history
about
Palm
Springs,
it's
sort
of
they're,
the
most
interesting
ones.
O
AA
I
might
without
Parks
being
here
to
defend
themselves
and
their
budget.
Perhaps
there's
a
way.
We
can
add
language
to
direct
us,
to
look
at
the
feasibility
of
that
and
come
back
with
a
plan
or
to
develop
a
plan
just
because
I
would
be
a
little
hesitant
to
commit
them
to
something
they're,
not
here
to
speak
to,
but
obviously
it's
your
call.
Thank.
A
A
C
O
A
AA
As
a
brief
reminder,
the
property
is
located
located
at
the
corner
of
South
Indian,
Canyon
and
Ramon
Road
and
was
the
site
of
the
Security
First
National
Bank.
The
application
for
designation
was
initiated
by
the
Historic
Site
preservation
board
in
2011
in
2011
I'm,
sorry
in
2021,
at
the
request
of
the
Palm
Springs
preservation
foundation
and
was
recommended
for
a
designation
by
them
in
January
of
this
year.
AA
AA
Briefly.
As
a
reminder,
the
municipal
code
lists
seven
criteria
that
are
required.
One
of
them
is
required
to
to
qualify
for
designation
as
a
class
one
structure
we
as
we
had
indicated
previously.
We
believe
that
this
meets
three
of
the
criteria
as
listed
here
and
is
among
one
of
the
most
strong
examples
that
we
have
pursued
designation
on
in
the
in
recent
years.
AA
At
the
February
meeting,
as
I
mentioned,
the
owners
raised
concerns
about
the
impact
the
designation
would
have
on
their
ability
to
attract
future
tenants.
Specifically,
they
were
concerned
about
exterior
alterations
to
the
parking
lot
and
Landscaping
and
expressed
a
desire
for
more
flexibility
to
accommodate
the
specific
needs
of
any
future
tenant.
AA
I
think
they
were
looking
for
more
assurance
that
they
would
be
able
to
reuse
the
building
or
that,
if
you
know
other
tenants
may
be
able
to
come
in
and
that
it
could
work
for
their
needs,
two
meetings
were
held
with
them
in
March
to
identify
a
compromised
path
forward
and
the
resulting
changes
were
forwarded
to
them
earlier
this
month.
At
the
conclusion
you
know,
after
we
had
concluded
those
discussions,
we
have
not
received
any
objections
from
them
to
date
and,
as
I
mentioned,
we
believe
this
is
a
workable
compromise.
AA
However,
you
know
that
they
plan
to
speak
after
this,
and
they
can
can
tell
you
in
their
own
words
where
they
are
on
it
to
summarize
the
changes
that
we
made.
So
you
know
this
was
the
original
list
of
character,
defining
features
that
were
before
you
in
February,
the
the
strikethroughs
that
are
highlighted
in
white
kind
of
highlight
the
changes
that
we
have
made,
so
we
have
eliminated
as
a
character
defining
feature
the
words
automobile,
Centric
design
with
drive
through.
AA
We
believe
this
gives
them
greater
flexibility
for
how
they
use
that
sort
of
drive-through
space,
as
well
as
the
parking
lot
to
accommodate
future
tenants.
We
have
also
removed
the
reference
to
landscape
design
and
instead
add
the
word
beds,
and
this
we
believe,
clarifies
the
landscape.
Beds
are
the
element
that
we
were
looking
to
to
ensure
the
the
preservation
of,
and
it
provides
them
greater
flexibility
to
changes
to
to
make
changes
to
the
plantings
within
those
Beds,
which
was
one
of
the
concerns
that
they
raised
in
terms
of
non-contributing
elements.
AA
That
I
mentioned
in
the
previous
presentation,
in
accordance
with
our
ordinance.
So
again,
they
would
have
the
ability
to
have
someone
new
come
in
to
make
the
changes
that
they
might
need
to
make
to
accommodate
a
future
business
and
would
work
with
staff
and
potentially
through
the
hspb,
to
evaluate
those
and
make
sure
that
the
character
defining
elements
and
the
important
historic
resources
not
impacted
by
those
changes
and
that's
a
review
that
we
would
coordinate
with
them.
On.
G
AB
Yeah
the
bets
are
actually
referring
to
the
areas
that
are
designated
for
plantings,
usually
they're
kind
of
enclosed
with
curbs
right
now
the
the
beds
were
part
of
the
original
design
that
we
could
see,
and
so
maintaining
those
beds
in
those
locations
was
kind
of
what
we
were
looking
at
as
we
compare
the
original
drawings
in
the
original
design,
intent
the
within
the
conversations
with
the
applicant
or
with
the
owner
team.
Excuse
me.
G
AB
We
have
two
categories:
it's
either
a
major
or
minor,
and
that's
only
for
properties
that
are
designated
class
one
or
two,
and
if
it
is
qualified
as
a
minor
application,
they
would
submit
for
a
minor
application
staff
would
review
the
scope
and
decide
on
if
it
is
something
that
can
be
approved
by
by
the
hpo,
depending
on
the
criteria
that's
listed
in
our
Municipal
Code.
If
it's
something
that
needs
to
be
elevated
to
the
hspb,
they
would
be
referred
to
the
hspb.
AB
If
it's
a
scope,
that
is
a
major
alter
or
a
major
major
alteration
to
a
historic
site,
then
those
would
be
referred
to
the
hspb
board
for
review
and
making
sure
that
they
meet
the
criteria,
making
sure
that
the
changes
and
the
impacts
are
not
rehabilitating
to
the
historic
resource
itself.
Any
that
review
process
is
really
to
make
sure
that
the
changes
are
harmonious
with
the
historic
resource
Elevate
the
site,
et
cetera,
so
just
making
sure
that
the
historic
Integrity
is
maintained
while
being
able
to
rehabilitate
the
site.
D
D
AB
D
AB
They
could
do
that,
so
any
sort
of
change
on
a
designated
property
would
require
a
review.
So,
yes,
we
would
review
it
just
to
make
sure
that
it
meets
the
criteria
of
making
sure
that
it
doesn't
damage
the
resource
that
kind
of
thing.
So,
yes,
any
any
sort
of
change
would
any
sort
of
exterior
change
would
require
a
certain
level
of
review.
Okay,.
AA
Thank
you,
I
think
I
would
just
add
that
there
would
be
an
Avenue
for
them
to
pursue
that
we
would
work
with
them.
We
would,
you
know
again
look
at
what
the
intent
is.
Look
at
the
fact
that
it
was
added
later
that
it
is
identified
as
a
non-contributing
element
and
then
make
a
determination
based
on
all
of
those
factors,
so
there's
a
process
to
go
through
to
do
that.
Absolutely
it's
not
a
blanket.
No,
you
can't
or
an
automatic
yes,
but
we
would
work
with.
D
G
M
G
AB
G
AA
G
Yeah
but
if
perhaps
just
sorry,
I
took
statutory
interpretation
in
law,
school
and
I
think
the
language
matters,
because
if
it's
unclear
there
might
be
litigation
after
it,
they
might
bring
something
forward.
So
maybe
you
could
just
further
Define
what
landscape
beds
is
or
you
could
incorporate
by
reference,
which
ones
you
mean
I
could
just
imagine
a
dispute
among
a
new
tenant
who
might
need
to
expand
the
parking
lot
or
change
that
we
just
need
to
know
which
are
actually
contributing
and
which
are
not.
If
you
can
do
that,
we
don't
need
to
do
that.
G
And
we
may
not
need
to
it's
just
a
just
a
thought,
because
I
was
confused
by
what
that
meant,
and
that
means
other
people
will
be
and
then
just
to
clarify.
So
could
we
we
could
put
that
the
parking
drive
through
overhang
is
non-contributing.
Or
would
you
not
recommend
that
at
this
time,
because
it
would
need
further
review
of
Staff,
because
I'm
also
concerned
about
it
limiting
future
business
opportunities
or
use
of
the
building,
and
it
seems
non-contributing
to
me
as
a
not
a
historical
historian,
architectural
historian.
AB
For
the
drive-through
overhang
itself,
there
were
portions
of
it
that
were
added
on
the
the
intent
of
the
drive-through
itself
was
incorporated
as
part
of
the
original
design.
That's
why
it
was
originally
identified
as
such
in
the
building
itself
towards
the
side.
So
I'm,
sorry.
What
do
you
mean?
The.
G
AB
The
building
was
incorporated
and
then
the
overhang
kind
of
helps
guide
where
the
drive-through
is
and
I
don't
know
if
I
can
actually
describe
it
there,
but
I
think
I
would
hesitate
to
include
that
as
a
non-contruding
feature
at
this
point,
I
think
there
is
flexibility
to
discuss
design
options
when
they
come
through.
So
the
parking
lot
was
excluded.
AB
AB
AB
A
A
AD
Can
you
guys
hear
me?
Okay,
yes,
okay
sounds
great,
so
listen
I
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
you.
Allow
us
to
voice
our
opinion.
I
want
to
thank
you,
the
the
mayor
city
council,
that
you
slowed
the
process
and
allowed
us
to
go,
have
some
additional
conversations
with
the
planning
department.
Your
planning
department
is
great.
We've
enjoyed
working
with
them.
AD
AD
You
know
you
talked
about
the
beds
that
the
for
the
landscape
and
you're
absolutely
right.
We,
we
would
like
to
designate
that
the
ones
in
the
parking
lot
are
not
included
in
that
designation.
It's
purely
the
ones
that
are
on
the
side
in
the
front
of
the
building
and
and
not
the
parking
lot
we're
excluding
the
parking
lot
and
Landscaping
out
there
should
be
taken
out
as
well.
AD
The
other
question
that
I
thought
was
spot
on
was
the
overhang
for
the
drive-through
was
added
at
a
much
later
date.
It
really
doesn't
have
historical
significance,
and
you
know
that's
not
to
say
that
we
would
take
it
out,
but
I
think
making
it
a
part
of
the
historic
designation
is
not
fair
because
it
really
had
nothing
to
do
with
the
original
design
of
the
building.
So
you
know,
our
hopes
is
that
yeah,
the
Union
Bank
folks
renew
for
the
next
10
years.
AD
We
don't
have
to
do
anything
to
the
building
and
it
stays
exactly
the
way
it
is.
But
if
it
doesn't,
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
a
good
quality
tenant
and
be
good
stewards
of
the
property
and
and
try
to
get
a
great
tenant
and
that
we
don't
have
a
pot
shop
or
a
homeless
shelter
or
something
like
that
in
there
and
then
we've
got
a
real
nice
addition
to
the
community.
So.
B
I
AD
A
O
So
Chris
a
question
about
the
minutes
from
the
meeting
from
March
23
of
with
staff
in
the
property
owners.
The
last
paragraph
says
the
owners
indicated
they
would
not
oppose
the
possible
historic
designation
of
the
property
based
on
the
terms
and
what
you're
bringing
forward
today
and
as
I
see
it
on
page
12,
automobile
Centric
design
with
the
drive
through
has
been
removed
from
the
character
defining
features
of
the
resource.
AA
AA
So
we're
hearing
that
tonight
that
wasn't
our
takeaway
from
our
meetings
with
them
I
do
have
a
clarification
and
went
back
and
referenced
some
notes
in
the
report
we
removed
the
drive
through
as
a
as
a
character,
defining
feature,
meaning
that
it
doesn't
have
to
serve
as
a
drive-through
or
sort
of
function
in
sort
of
an
automobile
Centric
way.
There
is
a
portion
of
the
canopy
that
was
part
of
the
original
structure
that
was
part
of
the
overhang
over
the
drive-through
window.
I
think
that's
the
piece
that
we're
concerned
about
about.
AA
O
Yeah
I
think
that
would
be
I
think
that
would
be
an
excellent
thing
to
add
to
the
resolution
going
forward.
In
addition
to
the
clarification
and
I,
don't
know
how
you
do
that
with
a
map,
or
you
know
somehow,
on
the
bed
issue.
I
think
that's
that's
an
important
clarification,
that's
needed,
but
excellent
job
on
this
and
really
appreciate
staff.
D
A
relatively
so
that's
sort
of
what
I
was
asking
for.
This
is
yeah.
It's
great
work
and
I'm
glad
we
came
to
to
this
resolution
and
I
as
a
historic
building.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
it
actually
remains
viable
and
and
and
doesn't
become
a
building
that
no
one
can
use
so,
and
it
seems
like
these
compromises
are
really
good
in
excluding
the
certain
beds
and
the
non-contributing
element
of
the
extended
part
of
the
canopy.
So
thank
you.
A
A
A
B
A
AE
AE
You
see
the
comprehensive
fee
schedule,
the
modifications
can
occur
in
a
couple
of
different
ways.
They
could
be
recommendations
from
the
department
head
to
add
a
fee,
remove
a
fee
adjust
a
fee
and
then
the
big
modification
is
applying
a
rate
from
a
consumer
price
index
to
most
of
the
fees
every
year.
This
is
a
process
that
we
do
annually.
AE
I,
don't
have
a
presentation,
so
I'm
just
going
to
hit
the
high
points
and
talk
about
process
a
little
bit.
So
first
talking
about
process,
there's
a
lot
of
hands
that
touch
the
comprehensive
fee
schedule,
so
Finance
sort
of
oversees
the
process
and
then
after
we
apply
the
CPI
index
rate
to
most
of
the
fees.
Then
we
issue
the
fee
schedule
out
to
the
department
heads
each
department
head
will
review
their
schedule,
make
recommendations
for
changes
and
then
submit
it
back
to
finance.
We
will
compile
the
data
after
we
make
those
adjustments.
AE
We
do
send
it
out
to
Desert
Valley
Builders
Group
for
their
review.
That
will
usually
issue
some
comments
backed
and
we
will
work
with
them
back
and
forth
on
their
comments.
We
did
so
this
year
and
they
did
Issue
a
letter
of
support
for
the
rate
increase,
so
we
were
thankful
for
that
and
thankful
for
their
partnership.
AE
AE
AE
The
other
modification
that
we
wanted
to
bring
forth
to
the
council
was
the
change
in
the
Consumer
Price
Index,
so
we
had
historically
used
a
consumer
price
index
that
was
out
of
the
LA
metropolitan
area
and
it
was
brought
to
our
attention
last
year
by
dvbg
that
there
is
a
better
CPI
index.
That's
more
related
to
our
area,
which
is
the
Riverside
San
Bernardino
Ontario
CPI
index.
So
we
wanted
to
put
that
in
the
resolution
specifically
call
that
out
and
have
it
available
for
questions
in
the
public
hearing,
and
we
have
done
that.
AE
We
have
chosen
specifically
the
all
items:
less
food
and
energy
category.
That's
typically
that
was
dvbg's
recommendation.
That's
also
what
the
council
the
rate
that
the
council
approved
last
year,
so
we
went
ahead
and
adopted
that
into
the
resolution
this
year
it's
usually
a
little
bit
lower
than
the
all
items
rate
and
we
felt
that
it
was
better
applicable
to
as
well.
AE
Lastly,
before
we
entertain
questions,
if
we
are
due
for
a
feast
study,
so
I
think
once
every
five
years
we
try
to
get
a
fee
study
in.
So
we
are
going
to
do
that
in
a
fiscal
year.
24.
we'll
bring
those
results
of
the
fee
study
back
to
the
council
and
present
them
and
either
in
this
form
or
in
a
separate
meeting.
AE
AE
Don't
think
we
did
it
last
year,
but
I
do
think
two
years
ago
in
the
building
area,
I
do
think:
we've
reduced
quite
a
few
fees
based
on
the
efficiencies
that
we
have
gained
it's
possible
with
our
new
software
that
we
have
just
implemented
this
week
that
we
could
identify
some
more
efficiencies
as
well
with
that
software
and
maybe
come
back
with
a
reduction
in
some
fees.
But
it's
not
it's
not
uncommon
for
us
to
to
request
that
fees
be
reduced
as
well.
A
G
I,
just
I
have
a
lot
of
tabs
I
apologize
to
my
colleagues
so
we're
we
can't
charge
more
than
the
costs
that
the
city
has
for
providing
these
services
or
programs.
But
we
can
underpay
or
subsidize
certain
programs
right
and
we've
done
in
that
that
in
the
past
for
residence
services
or
Parks
and
Rec
Services,
that's
right
and
so
I
just
have
questions
for
about
mostly
about
parks
and
recs.
G
So
maybe
I'll
flag
them
now
and
then
we
can
open
the
public
hearing
and
hear
public
comment
and
then
we
can
have
a
more
throat
discussion
about
it.
Then
so
I
don't
take
a
lot
of
time,
asking
questions
and
so
really
interested
and
thank
you
to
the
staff
for
bringing
this
forward
really
interested
in
that
number.
Four
recommendation
to
direct
City
staff
to
bring
back
a
policy
authorizing
the
city
manager
to
waive
fees
for
verified
non-profits.
G
We've
heard
that
it's
a
barrier
to
use
City
facilities,
especially
for
parks
and
rec
like
at
the
Leisure,
Center
or
other
community
centers,
because
the
fees
are
high,
especially
for
non-profit
or
for
residents.
So
I
was
looking
at
the
parks
and
rec
fees
and
just
sort
of
wondering
which
ones
we
need,
which
ones
are
reasonable.
G
I
had
a
conversation
with
the
city
manager
about
you
know
how
much
revenue
we
bring
in
from
some
of
these
minor
fees
for
rentals
and
if
those
are
Justified
or
in
addition
to
a
policy
waiving
fees
for
certain
non-profits,
we
might
want
to
consider
you
know
also
waiving
fees
for
some
residents,
so
primarily
those
are
parks
and
rec
programs
for
like
the
swim
center
for
the
facility.
These,
like
I,
mentioned
picnic
area
reservations
that
sort
of
thing
really
most
of
them
listed
in
parks
and
rec.
G
You
know
and
I
love
information
when
we
do
discuss
that
about
you.
So
you
know
what
is
the
demand?
How
much
use
are
we
seeing?
Are
they
sitting
empty
because
fees
might
be
too
high,
or
is
there
so
much
demand
that
we
do
need
to
control
it?
And
then
the
question
is:
should
we
apply
the
cost
increase
to
these
Parks
and
Rec
programs,
so
when
five
dollars
or
ten
dollars
more
a
month
for
a
family?
G
If
you
have
multiple
kids
and
parks
and
rack
programming,
for
example,
that
could
be
a
significant
amount,
so
I
think
in
the
past
we've
protected
some
of
the
rate
increases
to
not
increase
rates
on
residents
for
parks
and
rec
programs.
Many
of
our
residents
who
are
living
in
poverty
and
might
not
be
able
to
afford
that
when
they're
trying
to
decide
to
buy
more
milk
or
put
their
kids
in
summer
camp
for
the
additional
cost.
So
I
am
not
making
comments
about
that
I'm.
Just
asking.
G
If
you
could
take
a
look
at
that,
because
obviously
6.8
percent
is
a
significant
increase.
I
mean
we're
seeing
that
for
all
types
of
costs
on
cost
of
living
issues
for
residents.
So
if
you
could
just
be
prepared
to
discuss
that
and
answer
those
questions
when
we
get
through
the
public
comment
period,
thank.
D
AE
AE
We
are
not
at
this
time,
we
have
looked
at
it
and
we
need
to
look
at
it
some
more.
We
thought
it
would
be
just
as
easy
as
having
the
payment.
Processor
flip
a
switch,
and
they
automatically
do
it.
We
can
do
that,
but
I
think,
as
council's
request,
to
try
to
not
assess
those
fees
to
Parks
and
Rec
programs.
AE
So
would
we
if
we
did
flip
that
switch,
it
would
affect
everybody,
so
we're
not
going
to
do
that,
and
so
we're
going
to
come
back
with
a
different
solution
to
be
able
to
recoup
some
of
those
credit
card
fees
on
other
transactions
that
are
not
related
to
Parks
and
Rec.
So
we'll
bring
back
that
policy
to
council.
Okay,.
D
AE
G
Thank
you.
I
just
have
a
follow-up
question.
If
I
can,
because
we
had
attempted
to
create
some
sort
of
fee
waiver
program
for
residents
living
in
poverty,
that's
why
I
looked
at
you
because
it
was
a
few
years
ago.
I
was
seeing,
if
you
remembered
so
we're
not
currently
doing
that.
Even
though
we
worked
hard.
A
A
A
I
A
A
O
Question
on
a
big
concern
on
key
the
area
of
camp
for
parks
and
rec.
So
I
see
Jasmine's
here
who,
in
our
folks
from
Parks
and
Rec,
so
we're
proposing
an
85
dollar
a
five
dollar
increase.
So
it's
85
dollars
for
a
week
for
a
resident
to
attend
partial
day
camp
and
131
for
full
day
and
non-residents,
pay,
108
and
165..
O
How
how
many
families
do
we
know
how
many
families
aren't
able
to
pay
the
the
85
so
there's
their
their
children?
Don't
get
to
participate?
Do
you
have
any
idea
what
we
encounter
every
year,
because
85
is
and
131
dollars
for
a
full
day
is
a
lot
of
money
for
a
family
with
multiple
children
and
somebody
who
may
not
have
the
earnings.
AF
H
AF
So
for
the
camp
right
now,
so
that
80
fee
would
actually
be
a
55
dollar
fee
for
our
camp
goers
and
then
that
123
fee
would
actually
be
a
98
fee.
That
said,
yes,
you
know
every
year
there
are
families
that
do
you
know
struggle
with
paying
those
fees
for
our
Leisure
Center
camp.
We
often
will
offer
our
joj
camp
as
another
Camp
solution
for
families
who
want
to
go
to
Camp
there.
AF
The
camp
programs
there
are
absolutely
equivalent
in
terms
of
quality,
of
the
programming
that
we
offer
with
the
camp
at
joj,
just
having
one
just
sort
of
significant
difference
in
that
they
end
up
doing
additional
field
trips.
But
that
said,
then,
to
get
back
to
your
other
question.
What
about?
If
none
of
those
fees
right
are,
you
know
suitable
for
a
family
and
in
those
cases
what
I
understand
is
historically
through
the
year
there
have
been
some
sponsorships
programs
where
fees
were
waived
for
families.
AF
AF
AF
AF
O
AF
AF
AF
AF
AF
O
AF
O
U
Thank
you,
I
I
want
to
pick
up
on
what
council,
member
de
Hart
said
and
I'm
not
sure
that
we
can
compose
it
here
from
the
diocese,
but
I
believe
the
idea
of
a
scholarship
program
and
providing
fun
funding
for
a
scholarship
program.
That
would
give
our
Parks
and
Rec
professionals
an
opportunity
to
subsidize
where
it
is
appropriate
and
what
I
would
ask.
D
Well,
I,
thank
you.
Councilmember
Hart,
for
bringing
this
up
and
and
councilmember
Middleton
I
absolutely
agree
that
we
should
have
a
scholarship
fund
for
the
Youth.
What
I
would
suggest
is
that
as
we're
going
into
budget
next
month,
if
we
need
to
allocate
some
money
now
that
we
have
some
idea
even
before
the
program
is
fully
fleshed
out,
that
we
could
sort
of
put
a
reserve
for
a
scholarship
program
and
a
ballpark
figure
so
that
we
can
do
something
sooner
rather
than
later.
That
would
be
ideal.
That's
all
I
had
on
Parks.
D
My
other
comments
are
really
that
I
would
like
to
see
an
option:
an
opportunity
for
non-profits
to
have
their
fees
waived,
ideally
with
just
city
manager.
Approval
on
that,
especially
since
some
of
our
non-profits
actually
generate
other
revenue
for
the
city,
so
we're
benefiting,
and
we
don't
necessarily
need
to
charge
them
as
well.
So
I
think
that's
something
that
we
should
really
look
at.
D
I
would
very
much
like
to
see.
We
start
instituting
credit
card
processing
fees
like
everybody
else
in
the
world,
but
as
Council
all
I
think
we
all
agreed
previously
to
to
not
do
that.
For
parks
and
rec
fees,
so
just
to
be
very
clear.
This
is
not
if,
if
we're
not
going
to
further
hurt
people
that
we're
trying
to
help-
but
this
is
really
especially
for
things
like
you
know-
a
tot
or
Builders
permits
with
where
they
offer
they
have
the
option
to
pay
other
ways
easily
and
along
those
lines.
D
I
would
ask
that
we
look
at
ACH
payments.
I
know
a
lot
of
Builders
do
actually
use
ACH
versus
e-checks,
and
for
them
it's
very
different
as
we're
as
we're
improving
our
new
systems.
It
is
something
that
I
don't
know.
Most
places
are
going
in
that
direction
as
well.
So
that
is
something
we
should
do.
I
will
say
Obviously.
D
So
if
that's
the
case,
we
should
just
start
looking,
especially
at
efficiencies
with
our
new
online
system
that
could
actually
that
could
actually
reduce
it
and
and
if
we
can
sort
of
again
also
with
online,
you
know
any
kind
of
fees
that
we
can
reduce.
You
know
we
want
to.
We
do
want
to
encourage
building
in
here
we
want
to
cover
our
costs
and
we
have
to
sort
of
weigh
the
pros
and
cons
of
that.
D
So
I
think
those
were
my
comments
on
that
so
and
also
for
for
our
you
know.
Our
businesses
too,
I
want
to
mention
the
CPI,
for
things
to
go
up,
is
sort
of
for
a
local
business
kind
of
very
high
for
them
as
existing
ones
as
well.
There
are
new
ones
and
for
our
residents,
so
hopefully
it
will
go
down
next
year
when
we
don't
have
as
much
inflation.
But
those
are
my
comments.
D
A
Thank
you,
yeah,
so
I
appreciate
the
desire
to
have
scholarships,
but
we
also
have
the
ability
here
on
this
diet,
to
just
not
charge
so
much
in
general
for
our
parks
and
recs
programs,
which
is
what
I
would
really
like
to
see
us
do,
is
to
Simply
make
the
cost
more
affordable
across
the
board
for
everyone
in
and
then
in
general.
It
is
so
expensive
for
parents
to
do
anything
with
their
kids
and
these
costs
really
add
up.
A
A
It's
not
going
to
be
that
much
and
for
us
to
Simply
budget
for
that,
so
that
no
one
ever
has
to
be
turned
away
or
you
don't
ever
have
to
ask
anyone
for
additional
money
for
for
these
programs,
but
I
would
like
to
see
us
consider
just
lower
costs
in
general
for
for
summer
camp
and
any
other
camps
that
we
have
because
I
do
know,
we
have.
We
have
a
winter
camp
at
joj
and
a
spring
spring
break
Camp
too,
and
just
to
clarify
in
terms
of
the
scholarship
fund.
That
does
exist
right
now.
A
We
do
have.
We
do
collect
private
funding,
mostly
from
1ps,
sometimes
from
other
residents
that
can
sponsor
a
child
for
camp,
and
it
is
my
understanding
but
Jasmine
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
it's
my
understanding
that
if
any
kid
or
family
comes
to
the
city
and
doesn't
have
the
funds
that
you
usually
do
reach
out
to
park,
1ps
right
so
yeah
we
have
a
direct
relationship
with
1ps.
We
don't
turn
children
away
from
Camp,
so
we
do
have
something
in
place.
A
That
doesn't
mean
that
the
city
you
know
cannot
obviously
do
that
ourselves,
but
but
I
would
love
to
see
us
do
that
by
lowering
the
cost
in
general
and
then
maintaining
this
partnership
for
any
additional
costs
that
come
in,
because
it
is
something
I
think
that's
been
working
really
really
well
and
our
power
is
stronger
by
just
lowering
costs
across
the
board
councilmember
hostage.
Did
you
have
other
comments?
Thank
you.
G
I
agree:
you
know
a
scholarship
program
is
nice.
It's
sort
of
a
charity
model
where
we're
looking
for
charity
to
support
kids,
our
job
as
a
city
is
to
provide
Parks
and
Rec
opportunities
for
our
children
at
an
amount
that
they
can
afford,
and
so
I
appreciate
that
program
and
all
of
the
charity
and
support
that
goes
into
it.
It's
not
enough.
G
We
shouldn't
be
raising
Parks
and
Rec
fees
by
6.3
percent,
sorry
I
said
6.8,
6.3
percent,
and
a
time
when
families
are
experiencing
10
15
inflation
on
basic
cost
of
living
expenses,
so
I
very
much
would
love
to
see
us
Institute
a
policy
you'll
bring
back,
bring
back
I'd
love
to
do.
Have
you
do
the
analysis
for
the
parks
and
rec
and
Library
fees
by
the
way
too.
G
You
know.
I
had
brought
this
up
a
number
of
years
ago,
because
the
city
of
Coachella
waived
their
fee
stopped
charging
fees.
They
had
a
policy
for
like
park
and
rec
field
rentals
and
light
fees.
You
know
think
about
the
costs
that
we're
paying
on
the
back
end
when
our
kids
don't
have
anything
to
do,
and
we
have
significant
gang
activity,
it's
much
more
expensive
than
the
Investments
we're
doing
in
parks
and
rec.
So
I
would
very
much
love
just
to
see
like
the
comparative
fee.
G
G
Please
I'll
look
back,
but
when
we
did
this
fee
schedule,
because
we've
done
a
number
of
them,
we
had
talked
about
a
fee
waiver
program
and
it
was
pretty
easy
to
see
if
people
were
on
public
benefits
or
living
in
poverty
which
most
of
our
many
of
our
kids
participating
are.
That
might
be
easy
to
do
so.
I,
don't
know
where
we
go
in
terms
of
the
urgency
of
this
item
and
how
important
it
is
to
pass
tonight.
G
I
would
like
I
appreciate
that
a
policy
will
be
brought
back
forward
that
will
authorize
the
city
manager
to
waive
fees.
It
says
for
non-profit
organizations
to
me,
that's
not
enough,
because
our
power
on
city
council
is
to
set
the
fees
right
now.
That's
what
we're
doing
so.
I
can't
support
increasing
fees
for
parks
and
rec
and
library
on
residents
at
this
time.
At
this
rate,
so
I
don't
know
if
we
can
separate
those
out
and
pass
the
rest
or
a
few,
how
that
process
would
go
forward.
J
If
the
council
is
not
comfortable
passing
the
resolution
at
this
point
wants
to
direct
staff
to
bring
back
a
policy.
You
know
perhaps
before
the
beginning
of
the
next
fiscal
year,
then
if
that
would
make
the
council
more
comfortable
in
adopting
the
increases,
you
can
close
the
public
hearing
and
continue
the
matter
until
some
later
date.
Maybe
the
second
meeting
in
June.
J
G
That
wouldn't
have
a
significant
impact
on
operating
of
parks
and
rec,
or
the
city
I'm
I'm,
seeing
heads
nod
and
one
other
question.
I
have
or
common
I
see
that
we
started
renting
out
our
council
chambers
again,
so
we
used
to
do
this
and
then
we
had
stopped
and
I
know
it's
important
for
groups
by
the
way
the
reason
I'm
raising
this
is
because
it's
so
hard
to
find
meeting
space
in
this
city.
It's
really
difficult
for
non-profits.
It's
a
need.
I
hear
all
the
time.
G
I
actually
had
sponsored
a
postpartum
new
parents
group,
our
new
moms
group,
because
they
couldn't
afford
the
fees
that
the
city
charges,
and
so
this
is
so
important,
so
yeah
I'd
love
to
see
that
come
back,
so
I
just
lost
my
train
of
thought.
We've
been
going
since
4,
00
p.m.
Straight
and
earlier
than
that
oh
council
chambers,
so
I
know
it's
important
for
groups
and
they
like
to
meet
here.
I'm
really
concerned
about
like
First
Amendment
issues.
G
If
there's
problematic
groups
that
are
sitting
at
the
diocese,
if
people
are
planting
things,
it
just
seems
problematic
from
a
safety
perspective
and
also
from
like
a
someone
adopting
the
city
seal
and
holding
meetings
in
front
of
it.
So
I'd
like
to
see
us
remove
that
from
the
fee
schedule.
If
we
do
move
forward
in
approving
the
remainder
of
the
fee
schedule
tonight,
holding
out
Parks
and
Rec
and
Library
services
for
further
review
and
recommendations
from
staff.
U
I
would
also,
but
I
would
like
to
move
forward
with
the
balance
of
fees
that
we
do
have
I.
Think
mayor,
Pro,
tem
Bernstein
raises
very
appropriate
question
moving
forward
when
it
comes
to
our
various
construction
fees
that
we
want
to
step
back
and
make
sure
that
we
are
consistent
with
our
neighbors
in
other
cities.
That's
going
to
require
some
time
to
take
and
do
that
and
a
broader
fee
review
is
about
to
get
underway.
U
I
think
that's
an
appropriate
vehicle
to
take
and
do
that
with
one
of
the
hard
things
is
you're
doing
these
kinds
of
fee
reviews
is.
The
easy
thing
is
to
just
simply
apply
an
inflationary
factor
to
everything,
but
we
know
that
there
are
discrete
programs
that
actually
do
Co
have
changing
costs
and
fees.
It's
a
lot
of
hard
work
to
get
in
and
do
the
research
for
those
but
I
think
it's
something
that
we
need
to
spend
some
time
taking
and
doing.
U
All
of
us
want
to
be
able
to
provide
Parks
and
Recreation
Library
services
at
the
best
possible
cost
very
and
then
moving
on,
very
specifically
when
it
comes
to
canceled,
Chambers
and
the
use
of
council
chambers
by
other
organizations.
This
is
a
very
important
location
that
we
have
here,
and
the
opportunities
for
very
good
public
agents
are
non-profit
organizations
to
use
this
space
is
something
we
want
to
make
available,
but
at
the
same
time
we
do
need
to
protect
the
reputation
of
the
city
and
of
the
building
and
I
would
suggest.
U
O
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
I
agree
with
addressing
Parks
and
Rec
in
the
and
and
library
at
after
we've
got
a
an
analysis
of
what
those
impacts
are,
but
there
at
some
point,
we've
got
to
draw
a
line
on
on
where,
when
are
we
being
fair
to
everybody
when
it
comes
to
fees,
our
small
business
Community,
you
know
the
the
the
business
community
in
general,
our
mom
and
pop
businesses.
O
Do
we
address
lowering
fees
or
not
increasing
fees
across
you
know
for
them
so
I'm
a
little
concerned
on.
Where
do
we
draw
the
line
on
necessary
costs
for
the
city
operations,
but
in
very
much
in
favor
of
addressing
Parks
and
Rec
separately,
as
as
we
move
forward
and
I?
Think
no,
that's
good.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
A
O
If
we
can't,
if
we
can't
sit
today
and
say
we're
going
to
lower
or
not
even
have,
an
increase,
I
would
be
very
happy
not
having
an
increase,
but
there
was
a
it
says.
Increase
is
based
on
resolution
number
two,
four,
eight,
nine
nine.
So
can
we
even
ask
to
not
increase
the
fee
because
there's
a
prior
resolution.
J
D
If
I
can
just
address
as
cannabis,
I
was
going
to
bring
this
up
later
and
I
know.
Councilmember
Halstead
has
brought
up
the
taxes
and
we
have
this
and
Gardner
and
I
were
approached
and
to
look
at
the
ordinance
and
some
other
issues
of
it.
I
mean
some
other
issues
in
the
whole
ordinance
and
cannabis
and
I
think
we
were
going
to
look
through
the
ordinance
and
all
these
issues
and
present
and
give
something
to
council
to
discuss
about
revising
the
ordinance
and
the
fees
and
the
taxes.
D
Looking
at
other
issues
that
are
going
on
in
the
Cannabis
industry
to
see
how
we
can
help-
and
this
I
brought
this
up
in
the
budget
discussion
earlier
about
the
taxes
going
down
and
how
we
can
make
sure
that
we
have
this
Revenue
stream,
so
I'm
not
I'm,
not
necessarily
opposed
to
to
holding
off
on
this
fee
increase.
But
what
I'm
going
to
say,
there's
a
whole
lot
of
issues
with
cannabis
and
I
think
it
would
be
smart
of
us
to
sort
of
address
them
all
address.
D
All
the
issues
that
keep
coming
up
over
time.
There's
been
issues
with
code,
compliance
with
with
waivers
with
renewing
permits
with
unused
permits.
All
of
these
different
things
have
come
up
with
potential
odor
controls
moratoriums
all
things
that
have
been
mentioned,
I'm
not
proposing
anything,
but
if
we
could
have
time
to
review
the
ordinance
and
these
other
issues
and
then
discuss
with
Council
and
as
appropriate,
it
might
be
a
way
to
sort
of
address
a
lot
of
the
Cannabis
issues.
O
G
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
Sorry,
this
opened
up
a
can
of
worms
for
me
for
some
other
questions.
So
what
are
so
every
agency?
Does
this
as
a
matter
of
course,
essentially
right
or
at
least
every
city
to
adopt
new
fee
schedules
every
year,
or
do
some
cities
not
adopt
them
every
single
year
and
just
leave
fees
as
they
are
I.
AE
X
G
AE
Than
two
options,
to
be
honest,
just
two:
we
looked
at
the
all
items,
category
which
was
previously
used
historically,
and
then
we
looked
at
the
all
items,
less
food
and
energy,
which
was
mentioned
as
a
recommendation.
Last
year,
the
all
items
rate
would
have
been
7.3
percent,
and
so
the
all
items
less
food
and
energy
is
6.3.
Thank.
G
You
so
this
was
the
lesser
amount
right
and
I'm
just
asking
that
for
businesses,
because
I
understand
you
know
for
me,
I'm
on
and
I
have
some
personal
privilege
here,
because
I
had
I
think
15
campaign
mailers
attacking
me
for
raising
fees,
probably
a
million
dollars-
and
you
know
this
is
what
agencies
do
as
a
matter
of
course.
But
it
is
important
for
me
and
for
us
to
be
fiscally
responsible
and
take.
You
know:
businesses
and
corporations
and
people
doing
business
with
the
city,
their
money
to
compensate
the
cost
of
providing
those
services.
G
AE
AE
C
AE
G
Be
great
I
think
having
comparable
information
and
Analysis
would
be
really
helpful
here,
because
I
agree
with
councilmember
Middleton,
just
taking
a
CPI
year
over
year
over
year,
might
really
result
in
fees
that
you
know
we
might
not
have
set
through
a
fee
study,
so
I
I,
you
know
and
I
raised
that
just
to
say
pulling
out
specific
for
me.
In
my
mind,
I
was
thinking,
residents
are
impacted
and
trying
to
pay
for
food
and
rent.
G
You
know,
businesses
I
feel
are
struggling
as
well,
but
it's
just
different
when
they're
doing
the
business
with
city
the
city,
it's
hard
to
pull
them
out
and
do
it
separately
because
then
you
know,
I
also
have
questions
about
housing.
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
housing
fees
are
reasonable
and
we're
considering
affordable
housing
and
incentivizing
multi-family,
and
it
just
gets
very
complicated
and
I.
Think
those
are
the
questions
for
the
fee
study
and
not
from
the
dice
pulling
them
separate.
G
O
I
think
it's
a
it's
a
big
concern
and
it's
looming
for
the
industry
and
I'm
just
as
fine.
If
we
say
we're
not
going
to
have
increases
this
year,
if
we
don't
want
to
pull
cannabis
and
wait
for
the
study
that
we're
asking
staff
to
go
forward
with
I
I
would
I
would
be
fine,
saying
we're
not
going
to
increase
cannabis
this
year
until
that
study
is
done
instead
of
pulling
it
separately.
I
would
be
in
favor
of
doing
that.
D
Just
a
couple
of
things:
when
the
in
2019,
when
we
did
the
CPI
adoption,
it
was
like
one
and
a
half
percent,
so
that
was
actually.
This
is
just
an
odd
year.
What
I
would
say
is
that
the
Parks
and
Recreation
makes
a
lot
of
sense,
especially
when
we're
talking
about
youth
programs
I
mean
that
is
a
pretty
clear,
defined
thing.
When
we
get
into
business
uses,
it
is
kind
of
varied
and
even
in
the
Cannabis
industry,
because
some
are
huge,
huge
businesses.
D
AE
D
What
I'd
rather
do
is
look
at
the
take
time
after
this
and
look
at
the
things
that
we
want
to.
We
want
to
pull
the
parks
and
rec.
If
there's
any
other
areas
you
want
to
support,
we
can
readdress
those
either
in
the
budget
or
separately,
but
I
think
you
know
just
from
a
fiscal
responsibility.
We
have
to
be
a
little
bit
careful
about
changing
this.
U
All
right,
thank
you,
just
very
specifically
on
cannabis,
I'm
open
to
us
stepping
back
and
taking
a
look
at
that
industry
and
what
our
tax
policies
should
be.
I
think
we
should
be
rather
holistic.
If
we're
going
to
tackle
that
and
try
to
to
make
some
assessments.
I
would
like
to
see
us
be
consistent
with
the
rest
of
the
Valley
Cities.
I
frankly,
would,
like
the
rest,
the
valley
cities
for
us
to
have
some
conversation
so
that
we
are
relatively
consistent.
U
U
In
the
seven
years
that
I
have
been
our
six
years
that
I've
been
on
this
Council,
my
opinion
that
this
industry
is
over
built
and
cannot
sustain
the
number
of
operators
that
are
in
place
has
not
changed.
It's
simply
been
reinforced
over
and
over
again
and
I
want
to
help
maintain
an
industry,
but
we
cannot
maintain
this
level
of
operation
successfully.
It's
the
the
financial
ability
to
support.
It
is
just
simply
not
there.
G
G
Do
you
have
that
by
category
like
how
much
was
the
Inc
increased
Revenue
for
cannabis,
for
example,
Parks
and
Rec,
and
not
to
put
you
on
the
spot,
but
I
do
think
more
detailed
fiscal
information
from
the
council
would
be
helpful
as
we're
weighing
for
me
the
the
value
of
providing
the
service,
the
cost
to
us
of
administrating.
It
right
like
weighing
those
two
things.
It's
really
hard
to
do
that
with
just
the
blanket
fiscal
impact
instead
of
knowing
how
much
are
we
making
on
these
fees?
That
was
my
point
like.
G
Does
it
really
make
sense
to
charge
someone
17
if
you
bring
your
14
year
old
to
go
swimming
for
the
day
you
know
or
what's
the
cost
of
actually
even
administering
those
those
programs?
So
anyway,
do
you
have
that
I
don't
mean
to
put
you
on
the
spot?
You
might
not
have
it
right
now,
but
the
categories
by
category
like
cannabis,
we.
G
Because
then
we
could
talk
about
housing
like
should
we
not
it
just
is
a
very
detailed
policy
conversation
than
what
we're
doing
right
now,
because
it's
the
impact
of
the
fees
and
like
even
a
blanket
policy
for
City
Manager
for
non-profit
some
non-profits,
don't
need
waivers
for
their
fee
for
their
rentals
right.
It's
really
sussing
that
out
and
that's
usually
what
we
have
staff
do.
A
O
E
AE
AE
AE
O
AE
Studies,
that's
kind
of
what
I
was
going
to
mention.
If
counseling
chooses
to
to
not
increase
fees
today,
then
it
almost
would
be
appropriate
to
wait
until
we
have
the
feed
study.
If,
if
that's
what
council
wants
to
see
and
we
could
provide,
you
know
endoscope
of
work
for
the
fee
study,
we
could
provide
maybe
some
direction
to
look
at
these.
Specifically,
if
that's
what
council
decides.
Thank.
U
You
know
I
think
we've
got
a
couple
of
different
items
here
when
it
comes
to
libraries
and
Parks
and
Recreation.
My
sense
is:
there's
very
strong
commitment
to
subsidize
those
activities
and
what
we're
going
to
be
looking
for
is
recommendations
as
to
what
are
the
appropriate
ways
to
go
about
doing
that.
U
That
may
indicate
that
not
only
will
we
not
raise
that
we
may
lower
some
of
those
fees
because
we're
trying
to
create
a
appropriate
study
subsidies
and
if
that
works
for
everyone,
I'll
make
that
motion.
What
about
building
building
I
think
that
can
be
a
part
of
the
study
that
comes
forward
to
us.
But
it's
something
that
should
come
back
to
us,
particularly
in
connection
with
a
review
of
what
are
the
fees
that
other
cities
are
charging
for,
similar
Construction,
Services
and.
C
U
U
You
want
to
repeat
your
question
is
one
we
do
not
raise
any
fees
for
libraries
and
Parks
and
Recreation.
We
direct
staff
to
return
to
us
with
their
recommendations
for
fees
related
to
Parks
and
Recreation,
with
direction
that
it
is
the
desire
of
city
council
to
subsidize,
particularly
those
residents
who
need
those
subsidies
in
order
to
participate
in
our
Parks
and
Recreation
programs.
U
We
approve
all
other
fee
changes,
as
recommended
by
the
staff
report,
but
that
four
we
asked
staff
to
come
back
at
a
date
to
be
determined
by
staff
as
to
give
us
a
review
of
our
fee
structure,
as
relates
to
construction
costs
as
to
how
they
compare
with
other
Valley
Cities.
And
are
there
changes
that
we
should
make
in
order
to
make
sure
that
we
are
competitive
with
other
Valley
Cities
when
it
comes
to
our
construction
fees?.
A
U
C
A
The
next
item
is
public
comment
on
non-agenda
items.
This
item
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
council
values
your
comments
pursuant
to
the
brown
act,
it
generally
cannot
take
any
action
on
items
not
listed
on
the
agenda.
Two
minutes
will
be
assigned
to
each
speaker
we'll
begin
with
Zachary
Daniel
Stone,
followed
by
Ruben
Perez.
N
All
right
guys,
let's
see
this-
was
exciting
tonight
doing
a
version
of
myself
called
poor.
Little
Zachary
checked
out
a
book
today
called
anti-conspirator
and
read
the
dedication
in
there.
I
thought
it
was
really
awesome.
This
one
just
came
out
in
2023.
It
says
to
all
the
teachers
over
the
years
who
taught
me
how
to
read
thoughtfully
thought
that
was
great
I
thought.
Think
critically.
We
talked
a
lot
tonight
about
reading
and
thinking.
So
you
know
I
thought
it
was
great.
N
Let's
see,
I
support,
freeing
Taco,
Tuesday,
perfect
Robert's
Rules
of
orders,
cows
Chows
chaos.
We
follow
them.
You
know
you
guys
wouldn't
have
as
many
questions.
Let's
see
elected
officials
are
candidates.
Are
you
guys
here
for
service
for
yourself
regret
or
any
self-sacrifice?
I?
Don't
know
it's
kind
of
odd
meeting
meeting
notices.
N
Can
we
put
these
in
the
downtown
library
and
the
Library
main
branch
as
well
just
any
of
the
meeting
notices
just
so
I
don't
have
to
walk
all
the
way
out
here
for
them
I
could
do
it
online
you're
right,
but
I
don't
have
access
all
the
time,
Zoom
meetings.
We
do
all
these
on
Zoom.
Why
not
Microsoft
teams,
you
don't
have
to
pay
for
it?
N
It's
crazy
all
right,
YouTube
sites,
I,
don't
know
the
last
two
meetings,
the
study
session
and
the
council
meeting
they're,
not
on
the
YouTube
site,
though
they
are
on
the
website.
I
will
say
they
are
on
the
website,
but
they're
not
on
the
YouTube
site.
So
you
might
want
to
try
to
get
those
up.
Let's
see,
operation,
Relentless
son
I
do
appreciate
the
presentation
earlier.
That
was
great.
N
Let's
see
had
some
questions,
though,
on
the
environmental
damage
I've
worked
for
congress,
I've
worked
for
the
Bureau
of
Land
Management
I
work
for
forest
service,
so
I've
got
one
of
these
where
I'm
kind
of
like
what
is
this
environmental
damage
we're
actually
doing?
Why
are
we
not
calling
fish
and
wildlife
in
here
if
we've
got
threatened
and
danger
going
on?
Why
are
we
not
talking
with
the
state
going
hey?
We
need
to
get
somebody
in
here
for
this.
Thank
you.
AG
Good
evening
Madam
mayor
Mr
protem,
my
members
of
the
council,
my
name
is
Ruben
Perez
and
it's
been
a
very
robust
meeting.
So
I'll
try
to
be
as
quick
as
possible,
but
please
bear
with
me
if
I
go
over
about
30
seconds
in
time.
I'd
appreciate
that
I
have
a
couple
of
handouts
that
I'll
give
to
the
Madam
Clerk
the
assembly.
The
sub
number
asked
that
I
come
tonight,
say
hello
and
give
a
little
update
on
his
behalf.
AG
This
legislative
session
we
were
giving
a
new
committee
assignments
and
now
chair
the
committee
on
utilities
and
energy.
We
have
successfully
sent
out
sent
18
out
of
21
bills
that
are
office,
authored
out
of
the
assembly
and
are
now
in
the
Senate
making
their
way
through
the
legislative
process,
three
out
of
the
21
or
two-year
bills.
The
legislature
will
soon
begin
the
budgeting
process
fight
new
committee
assignments
assembly.
Member
Garcia
continues
to
be
a
champion
for
our
region.
There
are
a
handful
of
bills.
I
would
like
to
highlight
in
order
to
address
the
housing
crisis.
AG
The
assembly
member
has
authored
ab371,
which
establishes
the
California
tribal
housing
program
within
hcd
ab1630,
which
helps
cut
red
tape
for
the
construction
of
student
housing
near
college
campuses,
ab1385
a
bill
sponsored
by
Riverside
County
Transit,
Commission
rctc,
and
the
Coachella
Valley
Association
of
government
cvag
grants
rctc
the
authority
to
go
back
to
the
voters
and
ask
for
a
potential
tax
increase
for
transportation
purposes
in
the
future.
We
want
to
emphasize
that
this
is
not
a
tax
increase.
AG
We
are
just
giving
rctc
the
capability
to
put
something
on
the
ballot
in
the
future,
recognizing
that
the
investment
in
mental
health
counseling
for
our
youth
is
very
is
more
critical
than
ever
assembly.
Member
Garcia
has
authored
ab1479,
which
requires
the
California
Department
of
Ed
to
streamline
an
application
so
that
K-12
educational
institutions
can
receive
state
funding
for
mental
health
services.
AG
The
piece
of
legislation
that
will
keep
us
busy
the
most
busy
is
ab1567
the
climate
and
resources
Bond.
A
few
weeks
ago
during
Governors
the
governors
May
revise.
He
made
it
explicit
that
he
would
like
to
see
the
legislature
author,
a
bond
to
tackle
climate
change
and
ab1567
will
have
us
front
and
center
of
that
conversation.
This
bomb
will
include
a
historic
900
million
dollar
allocation
for
parts.
By
comparison,
a
few
years
ago,
we
authored
prop
68,
which
saw
a
750
million
dollar
investment
for
Park
Statewide.
AG
Lastly,
part
of
the
assembly
member's
Legacy
has
been
creation
and
establishment
of
the
lithium
Valley,
which
will
be
even
more
transformational
for
our
region.
This
Sunday
member
wants
to
ensure
that
our
communities
are
benefiting
directly.
This
is
why
we
have
authored
ab1593,
which
establishes
a
Workforce
framework
and
pipeline
for
potential
Community
benefits
and
pre-apprenticeship
programs
to
ensure
locals,
get
Workforce
opportunities
in
the
emerging
lithium
industry.
AG
Yesterday,
on
May
24th,
the
state
legislature
held
their
first
of
many
select
committee
hearings
on
the
fentanyl
crisis.
The
legislature
understands
that
this
issue
does
not
discriminate
based
on
race,
gender
identity
and
goes
across
party
lines.
The
legislature
has
made
this
frightening
epidemic
a
priority
and
has
33
bills
on
the
issue
with
five
getting
out
of
the
assembly
today,
including
ab-33
by
assemblywoman
Baines
ab701
by
viapuda,
AB
889
and
ab
890
by
Patterson
ab1060
by
Ortega
I'm
happy
to
follow
up
with
you.
AG
If
you
have
any
specific
questions
or
any
want
any
additional
information
on
any
of
our
bills.
At
a
later
time,
mayor
council
and
community
members
has
been
a
productive
six
months
in
the
year,
one
of
a
two-year
legislative
cycle
I'm
looking
forward
to
providing
you
with
another
updates
or
two
as
the
year
progresses.
AG
Just
as
a
friendly
reminder.
Our
district
office
continues
to
offer
assistance
to
individuals
with
state
agencies
such
as
EDD,
DMV,
Franchise,
Tax,
Board,
ACD
and
many
others.
If
you
or
someone
you
know
have
any
ideas
of
for
something
that
should
become
law
or
change
the
statute
we
are
here
and,
despite
not
being
your
state
representative,
the
assembly
member,
would
like
to
express
that
you
have
a
friend
in
him
and
an
ally
in
the
assembly.
The
assembly
member
understands
that
we
are
one
Coachella
Valley.
Thank
you.
Thank.

AH
You
good
evening,
honorable
mayor
mayor,
Pro,
tem
and
council
members,
my
name
is
Melissa
Boyd
and
I'm,
a
government
relations
manager
for
our
Southern
California
Edison
each
year,
Southern
California
Edison
addresses
our
kids,
our
grids,
reliability
and
we
make
sure
it's
adequate
to
accommodate
for
the
increasing
amount
of
electrical
needs
from
our
customers.
These
Investments
include
replacing
aging
equipment
and
Public
Safety
and
Wildfire
mitigation.
AH
We
are
doing
everything
we
can
to
ensure
the
safety
and
reliability
of
our
electrical
system,
as
CE
is
required
by
California
Public
Utilities
Commission
to
conduct
work
on
our
grid
year
round.
To
perform
these
essential
work
for
safety
and
reviability
of
the
electrical
system.
We
sometimes
have
to
de-energize
customers.
We
know
that
any
outage,
whether
an
emergency
or
planned,
can
cause
hardship
to
our
customers
and
we
don't
plan
them
lightly.
AH
There
are
several
types
of
outages:
we
work
hard
to
plan
for
and
prevent
these
power
losses,
but
sometimes
they
can
happen
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
from
routine
maintenance
to
emergency,
such
as
a
car
hitting
a
pole,
and
some
outages
are
necessary
to
support
business
expansion
and
economic
growth
in
the
area.
No
matter
what
the
cost
of
an
outage
SCA
wants
our
customers
to
stay
comfortable
and
safe
when
their
power
is
off.
AH
So
we
want
to
be
sure
that
the
Palm
screen
Palm
Springs
residents,
know
that
they
can
update
their
contact
information
to
receive
outage
notifications
report
outages,
follow
each
outage
restoration,
progress
and
learn
how
to
prepare
for
outages
online
at
the
Southern
California's
website.
It's
www.sce.com
outage
Dash
Center.
AH
AH
C
AI
AI
A
E
E
Of
course,
we
want
to
make
sure
the
public
gets
a
chance
to
really
learn
and
understand
the
budget,
not
a
lot
of
the
you
know
not
as
many
people
pay
attention
to
the
study
session
and
in
a
formal
council
setting,
we
really
feel
we
need
to
kind
of
go
through
that
all
of
the
presentation
material.
Again,
we
will
be
coming
back
with
some
sidewalk
vending
ordinance
ordinances
that
you've
asked
us
to
bring
back.
E
A
resolution
back
to
the
council
for
your
considering
for
your
consideration
following
those
discussions
and
then
just
looking
ahead
will
be
the
will
be
scheduled
to
approve
the
budget
on
the
29th.
We
do
have
to
come,
bring
back
Walk
of
Stars
program
that
will
be
expiring.
We
we
anticipate
having
a
reserve
fund
policy
for
you
to
con.
Consider,
what's
not
on
here,
we'll
also
be
be
bringing
back
the
the
Palm
Springs
Film
Festival
renewal
that'll
be
on
the
consent
agenda.
E
It
can
certainly
be
pulled
for
discussion
if
anybody
wants
to
and
then
just
very
quickly
in
July
10th
council
did
ask
us
to
bring
back
the
Picasso
and
timeshare
ordinances,
we're
working
on
that
food
delivery,
ordinances
and
then
on
the
24th
we
Inc.
We
expect
to
have
some
information
for
you
on
the
inclusionary
housing
study,
so
that
gives
us
a
look
at
Council
activity
over
the
next
couple
months.
E
E
Of
course,
that's
our
new
system
for
folks
to
apply
for
things
online,
permitting
applications,
planning
activity,
business,
license
inspections,
making
payments
online
so
that
we
made
that
transition
this
week
and
a
lot
of
work
goes
into
that
from
a
lot
of
different
departments,
and
it
can
there's
are
examples
where
it's
gone
very
badly
in
other
cities
and
so
I
think
congrats
to
our
staff
for
all
their
diligence.
On
that.
O
D
We,
we
have
a
hotel,
Improvement
program
where
the
there's
a
tot
rebate
for
increased
tot
based
on
the
last
three
years.
Small
hotels
and
I
think
also
large
hotels
will
expire.
The
end
of
this
year
and
I'd
like
to
have
look
at
something
to
bring
that
back
next
year
as
well
and
bring
it
back
for
Council
for
discussion.
D
A
Yeah,
if
we
can
do
that
first,
so
we
did
just
discuss
the
review
of
cannabis
in
our
prior
discussion.
So
we
do
have
support,
for
that.
Is
that
correct
Council,
yes,
I'm
seeing
nods
there
and
then
is
there
support
for
small
and
large
Hotel
rebate
review,
since
that
program
is
ending
I'm,
seeing
nods
for
the
record
and.
D
Just
to
clarify
the
way
the
program
works
is
that
if
they
do
re,
we
give
them
if
they
spend
money
to
renovate
their
hotels
and
they
increase
their
tot
over
the
last
three
years.
There
is
a
rebate
up
to
a
certain
percent
up
to
a
certain
dollar
amount
per
room
out
of
that
increase,
not
out
of
their
existing
to
tape
or
whatever
they
can
increase
it.
Given
the
fact
that
we've
had
three
years
of
really
strong
toot,
it's
probably
a
good
time
to
do
it
because
they
would
have
to
significantly
improve
their
properties.
Great.
D
Okay,
then
my
comments
I
just
it
is
Memorial
Day.
In
addition
to
the
great
honor
that
council
member
holstedge
is
going
to
receive,
I
did
want
to
mention
our
pool
party
at
the
swim
center
on
Saturday
11
to
6
and
then,
of
course,
on
Monday,
the
the
air
museum,
the
flower
drop
and
the
exhibitions
and
the
music
and
the
food,
and
it's
a
also
it's
very
important.
They
honor
the
gold
star
families
and
my
father
grew
up
as
a
gold
star
family
after
his
brother
was
killed.
D
So
it's
it's
really
quite
a
moving
event
and
I
would
encourage
people
to
do
kids,
go
for
free
and
active
military
and
their
families
Go
for
free
and
then
lastly,
just
mentioned
there
is
a
district
2
community
meeting.
This
Wednesday
May
31st
at
5
30
pm
at
Vista,
Del
Monte,
Elementary
School,
it's
almost
full,
but
there
are
a
few
seats
left
by
the
way
it's
a
great
place
to
have
a
meeting
in
their
their
gym
and
it's
not
expensive.
So
that's
at
5
30
p.m,
on
Wednesday,
May
31st.
Thank
you.
Thank.
U
Yes,
thank
you
and
I'll
try
to
keep
it
short.
First.
Everyone
who
compliment
everyone
that
was
involved
in
the
Jerry
Keller
star
that
was
presented
on
Tuesday
for
Mr
Keller,
the
owner
and
creator
of
Lulu's
restaurant
and
the
mayor.
Pro
tem
represented
us
extremely
well
in
his
remarks
that
morning,
it
was
good
to
have
the
representative
from
Southern
California
Edison
call
in
this
evening,
but
I
don't
think
it
was
adequate.
U
We
need
to
have
an
opportunity
for
representative
from
Edison
to
be
present
in
Chambers
and
for
us
to
have
an
opportunity
to
ask
questions
and
to
offer
comments.
We
have
far
too
many
members
of
our
community
who
believe
they
have
been
greatly
disadvantaged
by
unexpected
and
in
their
minds
unnecessary
power
outages.
We
all
know
that
this
is
a
difficult
subject,
but
it's
one
in
which
greater
conversation
is
needed.
U
My
last
comment
is
to
thank
my
colleagues
for
item
1p
that
was
added
to
this
evening's
agenda
for
asking
for
further
support
from
for
assembly
member
Quirk
Silva's
request
that
three
billion
dollars
be
added
for
permanent
homelessness,
Services
provided
by
cities.
If
we
we
are
going
to
provide
permanent,
reliable
Services,
we
need
to
have
a
permanent,
reliable
funding
stream
to
provide
those
Services.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
All
right
just
want
to
mention
to
council
that
I
I
couldn't
attend
the
dedication
to
the
star,
because
I
had
been
invited
to
UCR
School
of
public
policy
to
meet
with
the
dean
and
students
and
it
the
program
is
really
incredible.
It's
still
relatively
new,
it's
only
about
five
years
old,
but
there's
an
undergrad
and
master's
program.
These
students
are
really
smart,
ask
great
questions
and
the
dean
is
hoping
to
work
with
not
only
cities
but
other
organizations
to
ask
us.
You
know
what
is
it
that
we
need
researched?
A
What
are
these
big
questions
that
we
have
and
to
then
provide
those
opportunities
to
the
students
to
do
as
a
research
project
that
they
would
then
be
able
to
present
back
to
us?
So
these
are
not
things
that
we
need
immediately.
It
would
be
something
they
did
over
the
course
of
a
semester
or
possibly
a
year,
mostly
Master's
students,
but
it's
a
great
opportunity.
A
The
program
that
particular
project
is
still
in
the
works,
but
I
wanted
to
flag
it
for
Council,
because
I
think
these
students
could
really
offer
us
a
great
deal
of
of
innovative
ideas,
and
we
should
definitely
consider
taking
advantage
of
that.
So
I'll
I'll
share
more
information
once
that's
provided
to
me,
but
I
was
really
impressed
and
I
also
got
to
take
a
tour
of
Cielo
Vista
Elementary
School
I
had
two
young
tour
guides
and
I
think
our
future
is
very
bright
from
our
youngest
to
our
oldest
students.
