Evening,
mayor,
moon
and
councilmembers,
we
are
so
excited
to
be
here
this
evening,
and
this
is
a
wonderful
honor
and
I'd
also
like
to
thank
Ms
Blaisdell
for
all
of
her
help
and
support.
We
are
also
very
pleased
to
have
so
many
members
from
the
Palm
Springs
modernism
committee
here
with
us
this
evening
and
I'll
introduce
my
students
and
they'll
talk
about
our
program.
This
is
8th,
grader,
Audrey,
pies,
6th
grader,
Isabella
Martinez
and
6th
grader,
Sadie,
pies
and
I
will
turn
it
over
to
them.
Thank
you
again.
G

In
fifth
grade
the
Palm
Springs
modern
committee
sponsors
to
take
a
tour
of
promises
of
Palm
Springs
to
show
us
around
Palm
Springs,
and
let
us
see
the
different
iconic
buildings
of
Palm
Springs
and
the
modernism
that
it
has
within
our
within
the
city.
And
my
personal
favorite
is
the
Alexander
homes,
because
it
was
great
to
see
them
in
great
detail
and
have
great
people
there
to
guide
us
on
what
they
were
and
just
tell
us
how
great
buildings
are
and
how
they
contribute
to
the
city
and
sixth
grade.

Hello,
my
name
is
Isabelle
Martinez
and
I'm.
A
sixth
grade
student
at
st.
Joseph's
school
I
chose
Palm
Spring,
City
Hall.
As
my
modernism
project,
the
architect
was
Albert
Frei
and
it
was
Bill
in
the
year
of
1950,
I
chose
Palm,
Spring
City
Hall,
because
I
like
the
round
Sun
screens
and
opening
over
there
entrance
the
material
is
used
and
the
3d
printer
is
a
filament
is
a
filament
that
melts
then
is
deposited
now
it's
time
for
some
fun
facts.

is
Sadie
pies
and
I'm.
A
sixth
grade
student

school,
the
building
I
have
chose
is
the
Saguaro
Palm
Springs,
located
on
Sunrise
Way
and
East
Palm
Canyon
Drive
I
chose
this
building
because
it
has
lots
of
colors
and
I
saw
how
much
detail
it
had
and
I
wanted
to
include
that
in
my
project
it
was
finished
on
February,
1st
1977
and
its
architects
are
Stanford
Ashley
and

245
rooms
and
15
watt
wild

flower
colors
across
the
Coachella
Valley.
G
A
Thank
You,
mrs.
Hyatt
and
your
students
from
state
treats
of
school.
Thank
you
very
much
and
I
think
we
can
all
see.
This
is
just
one
more
thing
that
modernism
week
and
and
the
modernism
group
does
for
Palm
Springs.
Their
benefits
go
throughout
every
portion
of
our
existence
here.
So
the
next
item-
it's
all
downhill
from
here.
A
The
next
item
is
acceptance
to
the
agenda.
The
City
Council
at
this
time
we'll
discuss
the
order
of
the
agenda
and
may
amend
the
order
at
our
agency
items
and
note
abstentions
or
no
votes
on
consent,
calendar
items
and
request
consent,
calendar
items
be
removed
for
discussion.
I
would
like
to
entertain
a
motion
for
acceptance
of
the
agenda.
Are
there
any
items
any
council
member
would
like
removed
from
the
consent
calendar
for
a
separate
discussion,
and/or
votes,
council
member
Middleton.
H
F
A
When
I,
okay,
yes,

did
anyone
else.
Okay,

accept
the

Maxime?
Excuse
me:

f1l
and
5b
and
Councilman
Middleton
holstege
are
abstaining
from

has
been
set
aside
for
members
of
the

address
the
City
Council.
Only

Okay,
we
currently
have
12
people
in
queue.
C
B
Mr.
mayor
City,
Council
members,
thank
you
for
this
opportunity.
I
am
asking
you
to
support
the
MOU
resolution
between
Imperial
County
and
Riverside
County
on
the
Salton
Sea
MoU,
with
the
friendly
amendment
that
will
allow
for
water
importation
into
the
Salton
Sea.
As
part
of
the
solution,
you
may
know
that
assembly
member
Garcia
had
put
out
an
RFI
for
those
solutions
to
be
put
forward.
Three
of
them
have
been
accepted
by
the
state
of
California
and
we
are
hoping
and
asking
you
to
vote
YES
on
the
resolution
with
the
friendly
amendment.
Thank
you.
Thank.
K
Thank
you,
I
wanted
to
one
of
my
friends
here.
It's
also
a
member
of
the
Salton
Sea
coalition,
we'll
be
explaining
the
gei
water
import
proposal
to
you.
I
was
going
to
take
the
other
two
just
to
familiarize
you
briefly
with
with
these
proposals.
The
second
proposal
is
by
the
binational
corporation.
It's
called
the
Salton
trough
interconnection
project,
it's
to
restore
the
historic
inflow
and
outflow
to
and
from
the
Salton
trough,
which
is
a
geologic
formation
that
extends
from
Palm
Springs
to
the
Sea
of
Cortez.
At
this
time,
the
Salton
Sea
has
no
outflow.
K
They
plan
to
import
water
through
212
foot,
thick
I,
mean
diameter
pipes
from
Salton
Sea
and
then
return
saline
water
through
a
single
12-foot,
pipe
back
to
the
Sea
of
Cortez
to
mix
with
this
Pacific
Ocean.
This
proposals,
estimated
cost,
is
seven
to
eight
billion
dollars,
funded
by
a
private
public
partnership,
and
it
would
take
six
to
seven
years
to
deliver
water.
K
The
third
proposal
is
by
Cordoba
corporation.
It's
called
the
Salton
Sea
water
importation
project.
They
would
bring
in
water
by
pipeline
and
create
a
perimeter
lake,
which
is
one
of
the
proposals
of
the
existing
MOU,
and
this
amendment
would
actually
provide
enough
water
to
fill
a
perimeter
lake
which
would
create
bird
and
fish
habitat.
Then
they
would
leave
the
central
part
of
the
lake
very
saline,
so
there
would
be
no
need
to
desalinate
or
or
move
the
salt
that
would
be
produced
by
desalination.
This
project
would
cost
one
two
three
billion.
K
If
you'd
like
to
read
more
about
these
proposals,
you
can
go
to
the
state's
website
natural
resources,
dot,
ca.gov
and
click
on
the
salt
and
sea
button.
We
really
would
appreciate
it
this.
This
amendment
is
merely
asking
for
this.
These
possibilities
to
be
considered
as
part
of
the
long-term
plan.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
L
Evening,
I
basically
want
to
also
support
the
fact
that
we
need
water
to
be
brought
into
the
Coachella
Valley
because,
for
example,
the
there's
a
lake
perimeter
that
was
proposed
to
at
many
Perez,
and
it's
gone
from
4,000
acres
to
be
covered
by
this
lake.
Now
it's
less
than
900,
because
there
is
no
water
there's
a
problem.
Of
course
the
stench
is
going
to
start
building
up
all
around
the
Coachella
Valley
property
values
are
going
to
go
down
and
the
health
of
people
are
gonna
is
in
danger
already.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank
some.
A
L
The
last
person-
okay,
thanks
hi,
my
name-
is
Jessica
spry
I
previously
previously
served
as
a
sustainability
commissioner,
here
in
Palm,
Springs
and
I'm,
currently
a
member
of
the
Salton
Sea
coalition,
which
is
a
sub
group
of
courageous
resistance.
As
you
may
be
aware,
the
environmental
disaster
of
the
Salton
Sea
not
only
impacts
the
health
and
safety
of
local
residents,
but
also
threatens
well
of
local
residents
to
the
Salton
Sea,
but
also
us
our
health
and
our
local
economy.
L
As
the
sea
recedes,
toxic
dust
is
exposed,
windy
conditions
causes
dust
to
become
airborne
and
they
flow,
and
they
will
flow
into
our
community.
So
the
MOU
before
you
excludes
consideration
of
one
important
long
term
solution
for
the
Salton
Sea,
which
is
ocean
water
importation.
Our
Coalition
believes
ocean
water.
Importation
is
an
important
solution
and
needs
to
be
fully
vetted.
At
the
same
time,
the
perimeter
of
North
Lake
solutions
are
considered.
Please
consider
approving
this
amendment
to
the
original
MOU.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration.
L
A
L
Okay,
good
evening,
mayor
city
council,
my
name
is
Judy
Norman
and
I'm,
a
member
of
the
Salton
Sea
coalition
and
a
teacher
in
John
Glenn
Middle
School
in
Indio
and
I'd
like
to
give
you
just
a
little
bit
of
information
about
the
other
part.
The
other
portion
that
Chuck
Parker
referred
to
as
part
of
the
ocean
water
import
proposals.
L
The
request
is
for
the
RFI
ocean
water
in
I'm.
Sorry,
the
request
for
information
on
the
water
import
to
the
Salton
Sea
was
put
out
by
Governor
Brown
at
the
urging
of
Assemblyman
Eduardo
Garcia,
whose
district
encompasses
the
Salton
Sea.
The
state
of
the
California
Salton
Sea
management
plan
has
a
mandate
to
develop
a
long-term
plan
for
the
restoration
of
the
Salton
Sea
by
the
end
of
the
year.
All
of
the
projects
in
the
current
10-year
plan
and
in
the
MoU
between
Riverside
and
Imperial
counties
only
address
short-term
and
medium-term
solutions.
L
It's
to
bring
water
to
the
salton
sea
by
lined
canal
and
pipeline
to
raise
the
level
of
the
sea
and
lower
the
salinity.
Do
sell
any
2
million
acre
feet
of
water
per
year
and
mix
this
distilled
water
with
the
Colorado,
River
water
and
then
dispose
of
or
sell
the
large
volumes
of
salt.
That
is
a
byproduct
of
desalination.
The
cost
would
be
3
to
5
billion,
funded
by
the
state
of
California
for
the
water
import
and
the
federal
government
for
the
DC
water
desalination.
A
I
A
candidate
running
for
City
Council
in
district
2
tonight,
I'm
here
to
address
agenda
item
1l
the
request
for
City
Council
consideration
and
approval
of
a
resolution
in
support
of
the
Imperial
Riverside
County
joint
Memorandum
of
Understanding
on
the
Salton
Sea
I'm,
in
full
agreement
with
having
comprehensive
analysis
done
included
into
the
SS
MP
long
term
Salton
Sea
plan,
a
shrinking
Salton
Sea
could
expose
its
toxic
coated
bottom
to
wind
storms,
posing
a
major
air
pollution,
hazard
and
health
risk
for
every
resident
in
the
Coachella
Valley.
I
D
I
A
B
Name
is
Robert
Mueller
I'm,
a
resident
of
Rancho
Mirage
and
a
member
of
an
organization
called
courageous
resistance,
I'm
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
MoU
with
the
addendum
that
I
believe
you're
considering
for
the
Salton
Sea
I
just
wanted
to.
Let
you
know
that
several
of
us
have
raised
this
issue
also
with
the
city
of
Rancho,
Mirage
and.
J
B
A
M
A
N
Thank
You,
mayor
and
council,
so
of
course,
I
support
it
though
yes
I
hear
our
health
and
the
economy.
So
what
I
don't
hear
was,
of
course,
as
synonymous
with
the
economy
is,
of
course,
the
big
passion
here
real
estate,
because
it's
a
disclosure
on
the
transfer
disclosure
statement,
more
commonly
known
as
the
tds
form.
So
you
know
please
we're
all
working
together
on
homelessness
and
crime,
and
everything
else
said
is
a
disclosure.
These
are
not
good.
Disclosures.
Okay,
I
would
not
want
to
be
selling
real
estate
here
right
now.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
A
O
My
name
is
Daryl
Thor,
elf,
from
Moreno
Valley
in
the
mid-year
budget,
update
a
powerful
siskel
storm,
get
teams
to
gain
speed.
That's
why
I'm
asking
you
to
consider
priority-based
budgeting.
It's
a
new
budget
process
that
builds
your
budget
in
a
way
that
delivers
the
results
your
residents
wants
at
the
price
they're
willing
to
pay
instead
of
starting
with
the
previous
budget
year,
you
decide
how
much
money
you
want
to
spend
next
year
work
with
your
residents
to
define
what
was
important
to
them.
Then
you
decide
how
much
money
each
of
these
outcomes
it's
worth.
O
Then
you
divide
the
money
among
them
and
rethink
your
way.
Your
departments
go
about
producing
them.
The
government
finance
Officers
Association
has
adopted
this
approach
to
budgeting
as
they
recommend
the
practice.
It
has
already
proven
its
value
in
more
than
a
dozen
states,
cities,
counties
and
school
districts.
It's
not
a
metric
one,
however
I
believe
that
adopting
this
new
form
of
budgeting,
in
fact,
will
benefit
you,
because
it
will
create
accountability
for
performance.
It
focus
on
energy
on
what
to
keep
not
what
to
cut
it
purchased
results.
Last
last
year.
O
Its
costs
are
no
longer
starting-point
of
the
budget
process
it
if
for
and
forces
low
value
spending
out
of
the
budget
every
year,
it
helps
you
find
fun
new
investments
that
promise
important
results,
rather
than
forcing
them
to
compete
for
the
scraps
after
existing
programs
are
funded
in
the
city
of
Baltimore.
This
budget
process
cut
a
large
structural
budget
deficit
in
half
it
shrunk,
unfunded
liabilities
by
25
percent
and
pull
and
and
popped
a
130
million
dollars
in
new
investment
in
infrastructure
and
I
like
to
introduce
in
the
public
record
Thank.
A
P
Good
evening,
Council,
oh
good
evening,
mayor,
thank
you
for
having
me
here
today.
My
name
is
Elmer
Diaz
and
I
am
an
organizer
with
the
IBEW.
We
represent
over
20,000
electrical
workers.
All
over
SoCal
I
specifically
reside
here
in
the
Coachella
Valley
and
I'm
in
charge
of
organizing.
Here
what
I
wanted
to
bring
to
your
attention
before
you
proceed
any
further
on
your
CCA's
and
considering
at
what
rate
to
lock
in
your
residence
is.
P
We
currently
are
awaiting
for
hearing
from
the
from
the
contractors
state
licensing
board
and
I
would
like
to
share
something
with
you.
Real
quick.
Our
industry
has
been
in
a
long
debate
with
the
contractors
state
licensing
board
over
the
proper
license
needed
to
install
battery
and
energy
storage
systems.
Lack
of
clear
regulations
has
allowed
c-46
solar
contractor
licensees
to
install
battery
energy
storage
systems
when
paired
with
solar
voltaic
systems.
P
This
has
occurred
even
though
battery
energy,
energy
storage
systems
are
separate,
electrical
systems
and
the
c-46
solar
contractors,
and
especially
their
workers,
do
not
have
the
electrical
training
or
expertise
required
to
protect
the
workers
first
responders
or
the
general
public.
Now
there
will
be
having
this
hearing
on
the
18th,
which
will
decide
if
the
c-46
contractors
will
be
able
to
install
this
work
or
not,
and
which
brings
me
to
my
next
point.
P
Edison,
as
of
next
month,
will
be
changing
their
hours
for
the
net
metering
program
that
they
offer
from
currently
like
noon
to
4:00
from
now
from
4:00
p.m.
to
9:00
p.m.
which
will
greatly
affect
all
your
residents.
I
currently
are
using
that
program
and
if
they
think
they're
going
to
be
getting
money
back
when
we
enroll
them
in
this,
they
they
probably
aren't
so
I'd
like
to
ask
you
guys
again
to
reconsider
all
the
legislation
coming
up
within
the
next
month.
That
will
affect
you
guys.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
A
B
Good
evening,
thank
you
for
this
opportunity.
My
name
is
Pat
Cooper
and
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
supervisor
of
Iman.
Will
Perez
I'm
here
to
speak
about
the
Salton
Sea
MOU
I
wrote
the
MOU
on
behalf
of
Riverside
County
in
Imperial
County
and
the
supervisors
office
for
both
supervisor
Perez
and
supervisor
Ryan
Kelly.
At
this
time
we
prefer
not
to
have
the
Salton
Sea
MOU
amended.
We
prefer
to
keep
the
verbage
intact.
B
All
of
the
cities
in
both
Imperial
and
Riverside
counties
have
kept
the
original
MOU
verbage,
except
for
Palm
Desert,
and
we
do
not
get
the
opportunity
to
respond
to
Palm
Desert
when
they
took
their
vote.
Imperial
County,
Supervisor,
Ryan
Kelly,
approached
supervisor
Perez
about
creating
this
MOU
to
show
the
state
that
the
local
jurisdictions
had
unity
on
common
goals
and
agreed
projects
agreed
projects.
B
The
Salton
Sea
management
plan,
which
is
the
ten-year
SS
MP
as
part
of
the
agreed
project.
Riverside
County's
North
Lake
planned
as
well
as
a
broad
support
for
the
perimeter
lake
concept.
The
water
import
concept
is
still
in
early
discussion.
The
state
has
not
taken
a
formal
position
on
a
water
import
concept,
but
has
taken
steps
to
evaluate
it
and
could
potentially
possibly
continue
to
evaluate
it,
but
they
have
not
taken
position
on
it.
B
As
of
today,
we,
both
counties
are
focused
on
the
state's
ten-year
SS
MP,
because
it's
immediate
it's
sooner
than
a
water
import
concept
and
Riverside
County's
Northlake
plan,
because,
quite
frankly,
both
counties
were
unhappy
with
the
state's
inability
to
take
responsibility
for
the
Salton
Sea,
the
water
importation
concepts
steps
into
a
federal
jurisdiction.
We
at
the
county
felt
that
we
needed
to
take
a
local
action
in
in
in
response
to
the
state's
inaction
where.
B
A
B
B
B
As
a
result
of
CDBG
funding
da
P
could
prioritize
funding
for
direct
client
services
for
the
low-income
community,
for
example,
with
support
from
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
CDBG
funding
over
five
years
da
P
installed
new
energy,
efficient
facilities,
solar
reflective
roof,
upgraded
HVAC
system
installed,
thermo
efficient
windows
and
doors
throughout
our
main
facility,
and
we
were
able
to
direct
those
savings
from
reduced
energy
costs,
six
thousand
dollars
per
month
to
direct
client
services,
and
this
was
really
exciting.
The
city
of
Palm,
Springs
and
EAP
were
jointly
awarded
a
prestigious
award.
B
The
Audrey
Nelson
award
in
2017
from
the
National
Community
Development
Association
for
these
energy
efficiency
projects.
For
the
past
say
three
years,
CDBG
funds
supported
daps,
Emergency,
Preparedness
generator,
which
was
completed
last
year.
So
in
the
event
of
a
power
outage
in
a
catastrophe,
a
disaster
of
the
emergency
generator
can
come
on
and
DA
P
will
be
able
to
provide
care
and
treatment
to
the
community.
B
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
No
any
more
speakers.
Mr.
Mejia,
okay
say
none.
We
will
go
to
the
next
item,
which
is
City
Council
subcommittee
and
city
manager's
comments
and
reports.
This
time
is
set
aside
for
the
City
Council
to
provide
additional
general
comments,
reports
and
announcements.
Additionally,
this
time
is
set
aside
for
the
city
manager
to
update
the
City
Council
on
important
items
initiated
by
staff,
our
previously
requested
by
the
City
Council
dr.
Reddy.
You
want
to
kick
this
off
Thank.
J
D
Do
we
not
happen
to
have
a
picture
of
the
old
ones?
Do
we
I,
don't
think
so?
Yeah
I
should
have
brought
one.
So
in
fact,
I
did
an
interview
with
the
press
on
this
today
and
about
the
general
upcoming
renovation
of
the
airport,
but
why
these
are
important?
Is
you
know
the
the
people's
first
experience
are
many
people's
first
experience
of
Palm
Springs
is
coming
through
our
iconic
Airport.
D
That
was,
of
course
designed
by
Donald
Wexler
in
the
early
60s,
and
it's
a
powerful
thing
to
come
through
that
Airport
and
why
these
chairs
are
important
is
that
they
are
of
the
era.
These
are
a
these
are
designed
by
Charles
and
Ray
Eames,
who
are
important
modernists
through
the
40s
50s
60s,
and
these
are
classic
airport
seating
and
we
spend
a
lot
of
money
to
have
these
we've
replaced
almost
I
think
we'll
be
replacing.
D
So
anyway,
it
was
funny
that
I
got
excited
about
it.
I
was
picking
somebody
up
at
the
airport
yesterday
and
the
press
even
picked
it
up.
So
if
you're
asked
about
these,
you
now
know.
A
C
J
E
Mayor
and
city
council,
we
have
two
council,
City,
Council
candidate
forms
scheduled
and
which
will
be
reviewing
the
nomination
process
and
rules
and
regulations
related
to
campaigning.
The
first
one
will
be
held
on
April
15th
at
6:00
to
8:00
at
DeMuth
community
center,
and
the
second
will
be
held
on
April
23rd
from
6:00
to
8:00
at
the
James
of
Jesse
unity
Center.
This
information
will
be
shared
via
press
release,
social
media
announcements,
advertisements
in
the
desert,
sun
postings
and
local
businesses,
and
at
the
city's
community,
centers
library,
leisure
center
and
on
the
city's
website.
A
A
J
As
you
know,
the
original
cameras
in
the
downtown
were
very
old
and
most
of
our
inoperable.
The
chief
has
been
proceeding
along
with
our
information
technology
department
to
replacing
the
downtown
cameras
and
then
we're
going
to
be
adding
cameras
in
the
Uptown
and
when
that
projects
fully
complete,
we'll
we'll
get
council
full
report.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Doctor
ready,
I,
wanted
to
start
off
and
I'm
sure
the
custom
of
a
mayor
pro-tem
will
complete
it,
but
mayor
protein,
when
I've
been
working
hard
for
a
long
time
on
the
convention
center
and
the
renewal
of
contract,
and
we
extended
it
for
a,
we
extended
it
several
months
to
allow
us
to
get
more
time
to
see
if
other
people
wanted
to
compete,
which
we
did
end
up
with
one
of
the
company
that
competed
and
we
had
went
through
a
very
long
process
on
this-
that
last
October
30th.
A
We
have
an
advisory
board
advising
us
on
this
and
they
did
interviews
of
the
two
companies
AEG
and
SMG,
and
they
did
three
hours
of
interviews
for
each
one
of
the
companies
and
gave
the
council
members
links
to
those
interviews.
So
you
could
watch
them
total
six
hours
of
very
detailed
interviews,
yeah
and
then
on
November
20th.
The
advisory
group
met
with
the
Mayor
Pro
Tem
and
I,
and
gave
us
their
some
advice
on
that
and
on
the
third
of
January
on
January
29th.
Excuse
me
on
January
29th.
We
met
with
dr.
Reddy
and
mr.
A
four,
and
and
also
the
Advisory
Committee,
and
also
with
the
people
from
AEG
and
SMG,
and
had
very
long
discussions
which
lasted
all
day,
and
so
we've
been
going
through
this
with
a
lot
of
detail
but
then
suddenly,
out
of
nowhere,
we
found
out
that
a
EEG
was
buying
SMG.
So
this
really
made
things
more
complicated.
A
So
that's
why
we
haven't
come
back
to
the
council
with
a
recommendation
on
this,
because
things
keep
changing,
but
the
Mayor,
Pro,
Tem
and
I
did
want
to
bring
up
that
we'd
need
to
our
current
contract
with
SMG
expires
on
March
31st.
So
we
can't
leave
that
very
important
function,
sort
of
dangling
and
not
knowing
what's
going
to
happen
so
Jeff.
You
want
to
add
on
to
that
I.
Q
A
This
is
actually
the
acquisition
of
AEG
of
SF
by
AEG
of
SMG
could
take
months
and
months
could
be
take
a
year
and
perhaps
because
it's
got
to
go
through
government
approval,
etc.
So
we
need
to
have
something
in
place.
So
if
they're,
our
next
meeting
is
fairly
urgent,
we
need
to
bring
have
an
item
come
before
the
council,
that
we
can
have
a
contract
in
place
until
that
merger
is
complete
and
we
know
what
to
do
next.
Yeah.
R
A
D
Thank
You
mayor,
so
I
missed
the
last
council
meeting
and
stop
me
if
I
mentioned
what
I'm
about
to
tell
you.
This
is
a
report
from
the
sieve:
AG
Public,
Safety,
Committee
and
I.
Don't
remember
whether
I
told
you
this
or
not,
but
the
district
attorney
for
Riverside
Heston
had
created
a
cannabis
regulation
task
force,
and
this
force
is
made
up
of
a
number
of
agencies,
and
cities
like
ours
can
get
involved
with
this
task
force
as
well.
D
D
The
gentleman
that
came
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
task
force
gave
us
a
lot
of
interesting
facts.
He's
also
willing
to
come
here
and
tell
us
more
and
I
highly
encourage
dr.
Reddy
to
invite
him
I
think
it
would
be
most
helpful
for
the
community
to
hear
some
of
these
statistics.
I'm
gonna
give
a
few,
but
what
they
have
found
is,
since
the
passage
of
Prop,
6-4,
I'm,
sorry
64,
making
adult
use
of
marijuana
legal.
D
What
we
know
to
be
true
today
is
that
at
least
50%
of
those
using
cannabis
are
still
purchasing
it
from
the
street,
meaning
that,
even
though
they
are
allowed
to
purchase
it
now
from
authorized
and
legal
vendors,
they
don't
and
the
reason
they
don't
is
because
of
cost
and
they
can
still
buy
cannabis
on
the
street
for
a
whole
lot
less
money.
So
what
is
the
problem
with
that
toxicity?
So
the
cannabis
that
people
are
buying
on
the
street
that
is
being
collected
and
tested
is
extremely
toxic.
D
The
thing
that
occurred
to
me
in
all
of
this
was
that
we
need
to
do
a
PR
campaign
about
this.
We
need
to
let
particularly
our
school-aged
children
know
that
if
they're
going
to
do
this,
if
they're
going
to
try
to
get
a
hold
of
cannabis,
they
need
to
know
the
toxicity
that
they're
getting
themselves
into.
In
fact,
the
toxicity
levels
in
some
cannabis
are
now
worse
than
what
we're
seeing
in
cigarettes
and
they're
completely
unregulated,
a
via
Slee,
it's
completely
unregulated
and
untested.
So
I
want
to
invite
this
guy
back.
To
tell
us
more.
D
The
last
statistic
that
I
thought
was
interesting,
or
just
fact
is
that
obviously,
prior
to
legalization,
there
were
many
cartels
that
drug
cartels
that
dealt
in
cannabis
and
so
I
guess
I.
Imagine
and
many
others
might
have
imagined
that,
with
the
legalization,
the
cartels
would
go
away.
In
fact
they
didn't.
The
cartels
are
stronger
than
ever,
because
legalizing
cannabis
drew
more
people
into
wanting
to
try
and
use
cannabis,
so
the
cartels
simply
undercut
the
price
so
they're
doing
better
than
ever.
So
the
sad
part
of
this
is
the
problems
that
we
have
with
cannabis.
D
Prior
to
its
legalization
are
worse
than
ever,
and
it's
something
we
need
to
address
as
strongly
as
we
address
all
the
regulation
that
we're
trying
to
address
on
cannabis
all
over
so
I'm,
hoping
that
we
can
get
this
gentleman
to
come
and
give
you
more
facts.
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
tell
you
is
that
and
and
dr.
Brady
I
will
get
you
that
name
or
we
can
get
it
from
sieve.
Ag
I
also
wanted
to
give
you
just
a
very
brief
update
on
the
Cornelia
Whitehouse.
D
R
It
doesn't
look
like
it,
but
there's
a
lot
of
work,
that's
occurring
inside
the
building
and
so
they've
completely
gutted
the
flow
or
in
in
some
of
the
rooms
and
re
reconstructing
that
whole
subfloor.
So,
as
you
mentioned,
it's
just
taking
a
little
bit
longer,
given
the
extensive
work,
that's
required.
If.
D
F
R
A
Q
Great
Thank
You
mayor
two
things.
The
first
is
so
it's
brought
to
my
attention
that
the
Convention
Center
has
entered
into
a
contract
for
a
convention
with
a
group,
a
non-profit
known
as
worldwide
Marriage
Encounter
from
July
11th
to
July
14th,
and
it's
understood
to
be
one
of
their
weekend.
Experiences
for
married
couples,
so
the
organization
bills
itself
as
the
largest
pro
marriage
organization
in
the
world
and
promotes
weekend
experience
for
couples
who
want
to
make
their
good
marriage
even
better
and
it's
open
to
the
public.
Q
You
can
register
pay
a
fee
and
come
to
this
convention.
The
issue
comes
to
the
organization.
Only
opens
this
to
members
in
marriages
between
a
man
and
a
woman.
So
it's
a
public
entity.
We
don't
discriminate
against
people
based
on
their
political
beliefs.
If
this
is
an
anti
equality
organization
or
pro-equality
organization,
they
can
rent
our
space.
We
don't
care
what
their
beliefs
are.
Q
So
entities
who
reach
out
to
the
convention
center
to
do
a
contract
know
what
the
rules
and
requirements
under
state
and
local
law
are
so
just
want
to
update
people
on
that.
The
other
issue
I
just
want
to
bring
on
and
it's
just
doing
a
little
and
then
councilmember
holstege
was
going
to
do
the
rest
of
this,
but
we
had
our
homeless
task
force.
Meeting
on
Thursday
and
one
of
the
things
working
with
staff.
Is
we
compiled
a
lot
of
the
data
from
what
we've
done
over
the
last
three
years
and
I?
Q
Think
one
of
the
things
that
was
most
important
and
the
biggest
takeaways
was
that
188
people,
Palm
Springs
residents
who
are
on
the
street
over
the
last
three
years,
were
moved
into
permanent
housing
and
that's
a
real
change
from
the
programs
we
were
doing
before,
which
is
emergency.
Shelter
were
very
few,
moved
out
of
an
emergency
shelter
into
permanent
housing,
but
moved
into
the
housing
first
program
that
we
helped
fund
and
the
two
housing
crisis
teams
that
we've
brought
on
that
the
city
fully
pays
for
have
really
helped
us
do
this.
Q
Q
So
we'd
like
to
bring
that
to
the
council,
the
next
meeting
for
council
to
discuss
and
decide
if
we
want
to
do
that,
it
would
be
limited
to
the
Delta
working
with
our
housing
programs
to
get
people
into
housing
and
it
would
four
thousand
to
cover
a
year.
So
we
just
be
covering
that
year.
That's
all
I
have
mr.
mayor.
That's.
F
Thank
you.
Thank
you
mr.
mayor.
Thank
you,
council,
member
Middleton,
just
picking
up
on
that,
we
had
a
important
community
meeting
and
we
talked
to
the
press
about
this.
You
might
have
seen
some
of
the
news,
but
just
to
go
over
sort
of
some
of
the
projects
that
we
funded,
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
on
homelessness
and
the
results
on
that.
But
first
on
the
housing
vouchers,
the
City
of
Riverside
has
done
a
similar
program
and
in
being
involved
in
the
regional
work,
with
the
Coachella
Valley
Association
of
Governments.
F
What
we've
learned
is
that
a
lot
of
government
funding
for
vouchers
is
really
restricted,
but
what
cities
can
do
and
you
can
hear
that
it
doesn't
pay
enough
to
actually
rent
an
apartment.
So
what
we
can
do
is
sort
of.
We
can
have
unrestricted
funds
for
vouchers
to
cover
the
difference,
and
so
a
lot
of
cities
have
had
successful
results.
F
Those
are
duplicated.
That
means
they're
going
and
many
times
talking
50
times
to
one
person.
It
takes
a
lot
of
contacts
to
get
people
to
accept
help
and
services.
So
that's
been
a
really
effective
program.
We
also
then
doubled
those
crisis
teams
so
with
desert
health
care
district
who
helped
provide
a
matching
grant.
We
funded
a
second
team
that
works
on
the
nights
and
weekends
when
people
need
help
as
well
right,
not
just
they're,
not
just
homeless
9,
to
5,
so
we're
providing
those
services
through
the
County
behavioral
health.
F
We
funded
the
well
in
the
desert
at
seventy-five
thousand
dollars
for
their
cooling
center
and
their
main
place
of
business
in
downtown
Palm
Springs.
We
funded
a
new
program
with
Martha's
kitchen
and
village
to
provide
wraparound
service
and
employment
services
to
people
at
the
well
and
people
going
in
for
those
services.
F
I
know
Martha's
told
me
that
they
were
really
surprised
by
the
number
of
people
that
they
were
seeing
coming
in
to
that
Center
and
to
Martha's.
So
they've
reported
to
us
that
year-to-date
from
just
July
2018
to
December
2018,
they
served
about
330
people
in
just
half
a
year.
So
those
are
maybe
some
duplicates
as
well,
but
really
a
lot
of
services
that
that
that's
funding.
F
We
also
have
recently
obtained
keep
funding.
So
that's
the
last
time
you
asked
me
on
the
the
heap
the
housing
emergency
assistance
program,
I
did
it,
and
so
we
just
actually
got
five
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
from
new
state
money
to
fund
housing,
bridge
housing
in
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
as
a
pilot
program
just
for
Palm
Springs
residents
who
are
homeless,
which
is
really
incredible.
Only
four
facilities
for
programs
were
funded
in
our
entire
supervisors:
district
District,
four
in
Riverside
County,
so
I'm
really
proud.
F
These
services
in
our
city,
the
other
cities,
are
fighting
over
not
having
them,
often
in
their
city
and
so
I'm
proud
to
represent
our
city
and
our
residents,
who
are
constantly
asking
us
to
do
more
on
this
so
yeah,
the
main
takeaway
for
the
numbers
is
the
hundred
and
eighty
eight
people
who
receive
permanent
housing.
We
did
an
analysis
of
the
data
for
the
path
of
life.
The
housing
first
model
that
we're
doing
and
eighty
percent
of
those
people
retained
their
housing,
so
they
stayed
permanently
housed.
F
Talking
about
our
CDBG
Community
Development
Block
Grant
funding
that
they've
used
to
serve
700
people
in
the
last
year,
138
residents
so
as
I
got
that
this
I
realized
that
the
number
and
the
update
that
we
got
and
how
many
people
were
actually
serving
with
services
and
with
funding
from
the
city
doesn't
even
include
all
of
that
prevention.
So
that
would
be
important
to
look
at
too,
as
we
talk
about
that.
So
that's
that's.
My
update
on
homelessness
and
I
think
I'll.
Leave
it
at
that.
F
I
did
a
number
of
other
meetings,
I
attended
the
main
street
meeting
for
merchants
downtown.
We
talked
about
a
number
of
issues
that
are
coming
forward:
I
attended
the
encampment
protocol
working
group
meeting,
that's
what
the
county
and
a
lot
of
public
safety
agencies
to
plan
for
the
flooding
that
we
just
had
and
how
that
impacts.
F
Public
Safety,
so
to
talk
about
how
the
city
can
be
involved
in
the
county's
work
and
a
lot
of
the
public
service
agencies
altogether
and
then
just
one
announcement
count
mayor,
pro-tem,
cores
and
I
serve
on
the
business
retention
economic
development
subcommittee.
We
have
our
next
meeting
March
12
at
5:00
p.m.
in
the
large
conference
room
at
City,
Hall,
that's
open
to
everyone,
it's
open
to
the
public
and
that's
our
opportunity
to
support
local
businesses
and
hear
what
programs
you
need
what
is
going
on
and
how
we
can
support
your
work.
F
H
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
and
I
will
be
brief
and
fairly
quick,
sunlight
Board
of
Directors
met.
Last
week
we
received
a
report
on
system
performance
and
on-time
performance
again
was
at
88%
system-wide,
that's
up
consistent
with
what
on-time
performance
was
last
year.
Three
points
better
than
it
was
in
the
previous
year.
Total
ridership
for
public
transit
nationally
is
down
a
significant
amount
in
the
Sun
line.
Ridership,
it
is
down
by
just
a
couple
of
thousand
riders.
It
actually
equates
to
less
than
one
half
of
one
percent
reduction.
So
we're
really
pleased
that
writing
is
continued.
H
People
are
using
our
public
transit.
At
that
meeting
we
took
a
vote
to
ban
smoking
at
all
Sun
line.
Bus
stops
and
I
would
like
to
do
a
shout
out
to
a
very
dear
lady
who
is
a
disabled,
Air
Force
veteran,
who
is
a
regular
attendee
at
son
line
board
meetings,
and
it
was
because
of
her
experiences
and
her
testimony
during
public
comments
that
the
board
became
aware
of
this
issue
and
was
able
to
resolve
it
quickly
once
it
came
to
our
attention.
H
So
public
comments
do
matter,
and
the
last
thing
we
changed.
Committee
assignments
at
Sunline
and
over
the
next
year,
I
will
be
chairing
the
strategic
planning
and
operations
committee
and
be
the
vice
chair
of
the
finance
and
Audit
Committee.
Lastly,
I
want
to
do
a
shout
out
for
mrs.
Hyatt
and
st.
Teresa's
and
as
I
was
looking
at
those
models.
I
was
reminded
of
my
days
on
the
Planning
Commission,
where
we
would
for
large
projects
quite
often
ask
the
developer.
H
A
Thank
you
and
I
can
give
you.
The
number
of
great
construction
I
had
one
other
thing.
I
wanted
to
mention
is
councilmember.
Holstege
and
I
are
on
the
committee
for
ad
hoc
committee
for
sponsorships
and
grants,
and
just
this
week
the
City
Clerk's
and
had
an
announcement
on
this,
and
we
are
now
accepting
those
applications
for
sponsorships
and
grants,
and
people
need
to
move
fairly
quickly
on
this,
because
this
is
a
process
that
goes
fairly
quickly.
What
will
happen?
A
These
applications
come
in
and
counselor
holstege,
and
I
will
look
at
them
and
make
recommendations
to
the
full
council.
The
full
council
will
then
decide
on
where
to
disperse
the
limited
funds.
In
fact,
we
don't
even
know
how
many
funds
will
be
available
yet
because
the
council,
when
it
does
the
budget,
will
have
to
decide
at
that
time
what
the
funds
are
boat
but
with
the
council
will
have
prioritized
these
and
just
to
remind
people.
A
There's
several
rules
on
these.
They
only
501,
C,
3
charitable
organizations
are
eligible
to
apply.
Applicants
may
seek
funding
for
a
specific
program
or
project
or
request
general
operating
funds
for
their
organization.
The
council
will
consider
requests
for
event.
Sponsorship,
however,
be
advised
that
funding
for
this
purpose
is
very
limited.
The
council
will
not
consider
requests
for
funds
that
will
be
regretted
by
your
organization
in
any
way,
and
only
typewritten
applications
will
be
accepted
and
I
think
that
means
also
printed
out
on
a
computer
printer
to
be
considered
for
funding.
A
The
application
must
be
submitted
on
time,
complete
and
all
requested
documentation
must
be
attached,
and
these
are
due
in
on
the
three
o'clock
on
Monday
April,
the
8th,
that's
not
a
lot
of
time,
but
we
have
simplified
this
process
over
the
years
council,
member
Koretz
and
I
in
a
fit
of
it.
Suzy
azzam
made
a
very
complex
process
three
years
ago
that,
fortunately,
we
fixed
the
next
year.
So
it's
much
simpler
now
but
city
clerk.
Could
you
add
a
little
bit
more
information?
How
people
can
get
information
on
this
and
how
to
apply
if.
E
A
You
and
please,
if
anyone
is
a
member
of
an
organization
and
wants
to
apply,
do
it
on
time,
because
every
year
there
are
organizations
that
come
in
and
they
said
they
were
late,
they
didn't
know
about
it
and
there's
nothing.
We
can
do
there's
a
dead.
There
is
a
drop
dead
deadline
on
this
and
also,
please
make
sure
they're
complete,
because
it's
really
sad
with
this
organization.
We
really
want
to
would
really
like
to
help
and
they've
had
an
incomplete
application
and
that
just
ties
our
hands.
A
A
Anything
else:
okay.
The
next
item
is
consent.
Calendar
I
will
entertain
a
motion
to
accept
the
consent
calendar
without
items.

F
and
one
L
and

are
abstaining
on

A
motion
to

floor.
A
H
Okay,
mr.
mayor,
thank
you,
and
this
will
also
be
brief.
I
want
to
congratulate
the
Human
Rights
Commission
for
the
report
and
for
all
of
the
information
one
of
the
things
that
they
identify
as
a
priority
initiative
for
them
is
mediation.
Services.
I
did
not
see
any
discussion
in
their
report
of
success
or
activity
and
mediation
services.
H
I
know
through
my
work
with
neighborhoods
USA
that
there
are
a
number
of
cities
across
the
country
that
have
developed
extremely
successful
mediation,
programs
and
I
would
simply
like
to
ask
the
Human
Rights
Commission
to
provide
us
with
some
information
regarding
the
success
of
their
mediation
efforts,
any
barriers
that
they
have
and
any
assistance
that
we
can
be
to
help
improve
the
mediation
operations
that
they
have
hey.
Thank
you.
F
You
thank
you
for
that
comment,
as
the
liaison
for
the
Human
Rights
Commission
I'm
happy
to
work
with
them
on
that.
My
understanding
is
that
when
we
had
a
former
Commissioner
Suzanne
Severn,
she
was
providing
a
lot
of
mediation
process
because
she
is
a
trained
mediator,
and
so
it
looks
like
based
on
this
report
that
they
want
to
continue
that
and
get
that
going
again,
but
I'm
not
aware
if
it's
currently
services
that
are
available.
F
So
it
looks
to
me
like
we
really
would
have
to
build
up
those
services
with
the
Commission
or
with
the
support
of
city
staff.
I
know
that
there's
some
budget
requests
in
here
that
are
higher
than
they're.
Typically,
they
get
$2,000
as
a
budget
for
a
commission,
so
I
think
we
would
just
want
to
talk
to
them
about
that.
It's
an
important
service,
a
lot
of
cities
do
looks
like
mr.
F
S
Council
member,
we
do
receive
inquiries,
but
most
of
it
is
commercial
base,
disputes
and
based
upon
that
it
takes
participation
of
both
parties
and
many
times
it's
a
commerce
issue
and
we
don't
have
purview
over
those
type
of
issues,
but
we
have
directed
some
of
those
to
the
city,
attorney's
office
and
gotten
consultation
so
as
to
the
barrier,
it's
beyond
the
jurisdiction
of
the
Human
Rights
Commission,
and
we
do
refer
to
the
state
organizations
or
even
as
you,
reference
landlord
tenant
mediation.
The
Fair
Housing
Council
of
Riverside
County
assists
with
that
I.
H
Think
there
are
some
examples
out
there
of
cities
who
have
made
this
work.
I
would
draw
attention
to
the
city
of
Henderson
Nevada,
which
a
big
part
of
making
mediation
work
within
a
municipality
is
clearly.
Both
parties
have
to
agree
where
they
have
been
successful
is
in
publicizing
that
they
have
the
mediation
available,
publicizing
successes
and
dealing
with
it
on
a
voluntary
basis
to
resolve
amicably
disputes.
Quite
often
that
are
very
personal
in
nature.
H
The
dark,
the
barking
dog,
the
car,
that's
constantly
parked
in
front
of
my
house,
but
it's
not
my
car
any
number
of
neighbor
to
neighbor
dispute
processes
and
you're
right.
It
always
comes
back
to
two
people
agreeing,
but
when
you
get
beyond
the
the
legalistic
part
of
it,
it
becomes
very
difficult
to
say
no
I
won't
come
in
and
at
least
talk
to
a
neutral
party
about
what
my
dispute
is.
H
S
F
H
H
F
You
I
just
had
a
few
other
comments
if
I
may
on
this
on
this
report.
Thank
you
to
the
Commission
for
writing
a
really
detailed
report.
We
don't
always
get
a
report
like
this
from
our
Commission's
and
I
thought.
It
was
important
to
attach
to
the
agenda
so
that
we
could
recognize
them
and
the
work
that
they've
done
in
the
last
year.
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
some
important
points
in
their
report,
so
one
they.
F
This
commission
actually
explored
something
that
the
council
has
been
talking
about,
which
is
changing
meeting
times
so
that
it's
more
accessible
to
people
who
work
or
parents
or
people
who
might
not
typically
go
to
those
meetings,
and
they
said
that
they
tried
it
a
few
months
in
a
row
and
then
didn't
quite
they
tried
it
at
different
times
and
didn't
quite
see
a
difference
from
first
at
5:00
p.m.
from
3:00
p.m.
and
then
5:30
and
I
just
wanted
to
comment
that
really
we
need
to
be
doing
this
more.
You
know
for
longer
periods
of
time.
F
I
really
applaud
them
for
taking
this
on.
It's
the
first
commission
that
has
done
that,
but
it
just
we
see
change
over
time.
It
takes
a
long
time
for
people
to
realize
that
the
commission
times
have
change
and
that
they
can
attend
at
a
certain
time,
so
I
applaud
them
and
I'd
like
to
see
that
continue.
F
I
just
wanted
to
flag
for
city
staff
that
there
is
a
budget
request
in
this,
and
so
you
can
see
sort
of
their
budget
and
what
they've
included
and
I
can
work
with
the
Commission
on
that
going
forward.
I
know
they're
working
on
fundraising
and
other
needs,
so
that
would
just
be
a
good
discussion
item
to
include
when
we
do
the
budget
and
then
I
just
had
a
question
really
about
this.
F
So
my
sense,
being
the
liaison
to
this
Commission
for
Human
Rights,
is
that
they
should
also
take
up
the
California
Voting
Rights
recommendations
from
the
working
group
and
have
some
points
and
take
us.
You
know
position
on
some
of
those
recommendations,
because
I
think
actually
that
all
of
that
work
falls
into
this
commission.
So
I,
don't
know.
If
the
council,
you
know,
would
send
it
there
to
the
Commission,
so
they
can
take
a
position
or
it
sounds
like
they
asked
for
that,
and
we're
told
that
it
sort
of
wasn't
right
for
them.
F
F
A
A
H
H
Q
Thank
You
mayor
I
brought
this
forward
at
the
request
of
some
of
our
residents
and
people
who
are
working
on
the
issue
and
I
thought
there
are
some
really
strong
arguments
made
today.
I
am
fine
continuing
it
to
have
that
conversation
with
a
supervisor
before
we
vote
for
two
weeks,
so
I
think
that
makes
sense
just
to
make
sure
we're
in
touch
with
him
before
we
take
action
and
see
what
you
know
if
he
wants
any
concerns
or
changes.
Okay,
thank.
A
You
I
just
like
to
comment
on
this
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we
support
this
and
one
thing
you
know
I
think
the
idea
of
pumping
seawater
to
there
is.
It
seems
to
me
like
an
amazingly
good
idea
and
people
say
it
can't
be
done,
but
yet
I
know
we
are
all
we
pump
oil
from
Canada
all
the
way
to
the
Gulf
of
Mexico
and
we
pull
pump
oil
all
the
way
from
Texas
to
the
East
Coast,
that's
oil
and
we
can't
pump
saltwater.
You
know
a
few
hundred
miles
from
the
coast.
A
H
Q
A
A
I
Mayor
members
of
council,
the
item
you
have
before
you
is
an
implementation
of
an
annual
process
to
update,
or
perhaps
better
said,
to
clean
up
our
zoning
code.
The
corrections
that
are
included
in
the
ordinance
before
you
this
evening.
Our
Corrections
that
have
either
been
identified
by
staff
in
working
with
the
zoning
code
or
some
of
our
applicants
have
pointed
out
some
errors
and
things
that
are
wrong
with
our
zoning
code.
And
so
it's
our
intent
that
once
each
year
will
come
before
you
with
a
clean
up
ordinance
for
the
zoning
code.
I
There
are
no
major
policy
changes
that
are
proposed
as
part
of
this
item
this
evening.
You'll
see
that
there
are
some
corrections
or
elimination
of
definitions
that
are
no
longer
needed.
There's
corrections
to
terminology
such
as
the
name
of
the
department
is
different
in
various
sections
of
the
ordinance
there's,
some
minor
corrections
to
the
use
table.
I
There's
the
addition
of
a
parking
requirement
for
a
category
of
use
where
the
parking
requirement
is
not
identified,
and
then
we've
also
proposed
to
removed
a
couple
of
conflicts
and
regulations
that
again
have
been
pointed
out
either
by
staff
or
by
applicants.
The
Planning
Commission
reviewed
all
of
these
changes
that
they're
meeting
on
February
3rd
and
recommended
approval
without
any
revisions.
We
would
also
request
your
approval
of
this
clean
up
ordinance
this
evening,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have
on
the
proposed
Corrections.
Okay,.
D
D
You
define
a
Home
Improvement
Center
and
in
the
verbage
that
got
left
behind
is
a
Home
Improvement
Center
does
not
include
industrial
applications
such
as
contractors,
supply,
wholesaling,
bulk
material
supplies
or
industrial
type
uses
such
as
milling
planing
and
major
cutting
of
lumber
or
cutting
or
threading
of
pipes,
but
many
home
improvement.
Centers
now
do
some
of
those
services,
so
I'm
a
little
worried
that
you're
defining
that
as
not
a
Home
Improvement
Center.
I
D
I'm
sure
you
know,
as
well
as
I
do
home
improvement.
Centers
are
becoming
major
supply
for
industrial
sized
jobs
because
they're,
the
only
ones
who
can
compete
on
the
material
cost,
so
I
think
that
that
gets
a
little
fuzzy
through
that
definition,
but
I
think
that's
fine
and
what
you're
doing
and
then
another
question
I
had.
Would
it
be
on
page
9
of
the
red
line
as
well,
and
it's
the
title
line
second
from
the
bottom,
and
it
says
you
simply
define:
do
you
define
special
standards
for
specified
medical
and
adult
use?
D
I
Correct
in
our
previous
update
to
cannabis
uses
prior
it
was
just
medical
cannabis
facilities,
but
then
we
amended
it
to
include
adult
use,
and
so
throughout
chapter
93
of
the
zoning
code
word
addresses
cannabis
uses.
It
says
medical
and
adult
use.
We
just
want
the
title
of
that
section
to
be
consistent
with
the
other
terminology.
However,
if
the
subcommittee
in
the
future
decides
to
shorten
that
title,
we
will
so
here
as
well,
so.
D
F
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I,
just
have
one
question
for
you
on
page
7
third
row
is
definitions
of
mobile
home
park
and
it
says
mobile
home
park
means
an
area
or
attractive
land
where
one
or
more
mobile
home
Lots
are
sold,
rented
or
leased
to
accommodate
mobile
homes
and
any
associated
accessory
structures
or
uses.
So
it's
just
wondering
if
we
looked
at
state
law
and
how,
like
the
state,
mobile
home,
residency
law
defines
mobile
home
parks
and
what
we
relied
on
to
get
to
that
definition.
We.
I
F
I
H
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
just
one
question
mr.
Fech
on
page
two
there's
a
reference
to
environment,
environmentally
sensitive
areas
and
I
did
get
an
inquiry
that
somehow
or
another
there
would
be
a
change
in
the
status
or
what
would
be
permissible
ultimately
at
a
sweat
canyon.
Does
what
we're
doing
here
tonight
have
any
impact
on
us
wit.
No.
I
It
does
not
have
any
impact
on
AWS
what
Canyon
all
we're
doing
is
adding
the
environmentally
sensitive
area
zone
to
the
index
at
the
beginning
of
the
zoning
code.
For
some
reason,
when
it
was
adopted
back
in
2006,
they
never
put
it
in
the
index
and
again
this
is
just
a
simple
correction.
All
right!
Thank
you.
A
And
the
question
is
a
staff:
before
we
open
the
public
hearing,
we
sink
none.
We
will
open
the
floor
for
public
comment.
Members
to
the
public
are
invited
to
speak
on
this
public
hearing
item
for
up
to
two
minutes.
Do
we
have
anyone
who
wishes
to
speak?
Mr.
Mejia,
no
public
comment
a
seeing.
None
going
going
gone,
but
closed
public
comments.
The
exciting
and.
E
A
E
Honorable
mayor
and
city
council
for
your
consideration
as
a
proposed
amendment
to
the
Municipal
Code
relating
to
Public
Integrity
disclosure
requirements,
it
is
recommended
that
the
filing
schedule
be
modified
from
a
quarterly
to
a
semi-annual
basis
for
public
official
statements
of
economic
interest
and
public
integrity
disclosure
forms.
This
matter
was
presented
to
the
City
Council's
Subcommittee
on
Public
Integrity,
Mayor,
Pro,
Tem,
Kors
and
councillor
Middleton
and
I
defer
to
the
subcommittee.
If
they
have
any
additional
comments,
a.
A
Q
Does
that
mean
this
case
I'm
the
representative
yeah
on
the
on
the
JPA
for
desert
community
energy?
So
you
know
as
we're
working
on
the
launch
of
the
program.
I
want
it
just
to
sort
of
update.
The
counsel
in
public
would
also
make
sure
I'm
getting
direction
that
counsels
sort
of
still
where
we
were.
There
were
some
changes
due
to
public
utility
Commission's
rulemaking.
Q
That
has
some
impact,
but
the
basic
idea
is:
if
we
make
a
decision
over
the
next
couple
months,
this
can
be
in
effect
our
Community
Choice
aggregation
energy
program
in
the
sort
of
spring
of
2020.
So
that's
when
it
would
launch
assuming
we
move
forward
the
staff
recommendation
and
what
we
already
decided
for
the
city
previously
was.
We
would
do
the
one
hundred
percent
carbon
free
default
energy
option.
People
would
have
the
right
to
go
down
to
a
program
that
matches
the
product
offered
by
Edison,
which
is
sixty
five
percent
carbon
releasing.
Q
So
it's
mostly
not
green
at
a
slightly
reduced
cost
for
medicine,
one
hundred
percent
carbon
free-
it's
probably
a
three
and
a
half
to
four
percent
increase,
so
people
would
have
the
choice
which
one
they
would
want
to
do.
The
default
would
be
what
we
had
said,
which
is
one
percent
carbon
free,
but
everyone
will
get
many
notices
and
they
could
change
their
mind
as
it
move
forward.
People
also
have
the
right
to
opt
out
of
the
entire
program
and
stay
getting
their
power
from
Edison.
Just
for
people
who
are
new
to
this.
Q
The
way
the
program
works.
Is
you
still
get
your
power
through
Edison's
lines?
It's
just
the
new
entity
which
is
Palm,
Desert,
Cathedral,
City
and
Palm
Springs
would
be
purchasing
the
power
and
the
mix
of
power,
but
Edison
would
still
be
delivering
the
power.
So
it'd
be
the
same
process.
The
government's
aren't
running
your
power
company,
so
it's
meant
as
a
way
to
either
reduce
costs
for
people
who
want
to
keep
it
one
way
or
get
us
much
closer
to
renewable
energy.
A
Yeah
one
question:
I
do
have
one
thing:
I've,
never
really
understood
on
this
I
think
it's
a
great
idea
by
the
way
and
to
allow
people
will
make
that
choice.
But
when
people
could
you
explain
why,
when
people
are
not
buying
the
power
for
medicine,
they're
buying
it
for
someone
else,
but
Edison
is
transmitting
the
power
there
is
a
certain
cost
of
infrastructure,
the
grid,
transformers,
etc.
How
is
Edison
reimbursed
for
those
costs
when
you're
buying
your
power
from
someone.
Q
Else
so
about
half
of
what
you
get
on
your
bill
is
all
those
other
things:
it's
not
the
power
you're
buying,
it's
all
the
infrastructure
or
the
delivery.
All
of
that
so
Edison
still
gets
reimbursed
for
that,
whether
we're
buying
the
power
through
this
entity
or
whether
Edison's
buying
the
power,
so
they
get
reimbursed
either
way
so
they're
cooperative
with
these.
Now,
because
the
way
the
state
law
works,
they
have
to
be,
but
they
still
get
what
what
what
they
lose.
Is
they
don't
get
their
profit
on
buying
the
power
right?
Q
That's
so
that
allows
in
fact
already
we
have
over
four
million
dollars
in
reserves
for
this
entity
before
it's
even
launched
from
some
buying
and
selling
of
power,
and
so
that
money
can
go
back
into
the
community
for
covering
things
like
building
a
solar
farm
or
insulation,
and
that
will
be
decided
by
the
cities
and
the
boards.
So
what
would
be
profit
actually
goes
into
the
cities
and
the
other
real
benefit
of
these
is
local
control.
Q
So
we
get
to
make
the
decision
so
once
there's
enough
of
a
reserve
built
up
with
the
money
that
would
otherwise
have
gone
to
shareholders
through
the
power.
It
allows
us
to
look
at
whether
we
want
to
build
more
green
energy,
more
wind
farms
or
more
solar
and
create
jobs
here
or
what
else
we
might
want
to
do
underground.
H
You
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I,
Community,
Choice,
aggregation
or
CCA's
have
had
tremendous
success
in
numerous
communities,
not
only
in
California
but
across
the
nation
and
where
CCA's
have
been
implemented.
We
see
individuals
choosing
the
greenest
option
available
very
consistently
and
one
of
the
things
that
in
the
survey
that
was
done
by
sivak,
is
65%
of
those
from
Palm
Springs,
who
were
polled
said
they
were
willing
to
pay
between
1
and
5
percent,
more
for
electricity
to
get
a
100
percent
carbon
free
option.
H
So
one
of
the
things
that
I
was
very
pleased
about
when
it
came
to
CCA's
is
it
increases
choice
for
the
customer?
Not
only
do
you
have
the
choice
between
getting
your
power
from
the
CCA
or
from
the
legacy
utility
company
you
have
within
the
CCA
a
choice
of
options
regarding
how
much
green
energy
you
want
to
purchase.
So
I
know
that
we
want
to
proceed
in
a
very
prudent
way
to
make
sure
that
we
do
not
get
out
ahead
of
what
we
can
actually
afford
and
make
sure
that
we
can
deliver
to
the
public.
H
F
You
mr.
mayor,
thank
you
to
Mayor,
Pro
Tem
course
for
bringing
this
forward
and
attaching
it.
This
is
really
helpful
and
I
found
the
polling
and
the
studies
fascinating,
and
really
helpful
for
us
in
deciding
this
issue
where
residents
stand,
yeah
81
percent
of
our
of
people
in
Palm
Springs
were
willing
to
engage
in
the
community
choice,
aggregation
program,
and
so
was
inspired
by
the
peep
majority
of
people
who
are
willing
to
pay
a
little
bit
more
I.
F
Think
that
conversation,
though
we
have
to
remember
you,
know
we're
talking
about
the
front
end,
and
it
doesn't
include
the
back
end
of
paying
more
because
of
all
of
the
costs
of
climate
change
and
how
it
affects
us,
and
so
it's
really
important
in
this
conversation
I
completely
support
100%
carbon
free
I'm
really
excited
that
we
have
that
option
through
the
CCA
and
and
we
will
deliver
it
to
our
residents.
So
thank
you
for
your
leadership.
F
I
know
you've
been
a
regional
leader
in
this
work
and
it
really
shows-
and
it's
really
important
so
thank
you.
My
only
question
is
the
the
IBEW
person,
the
International
Brotherhood
of
Electrical
Workers.
So
unfortunately,
I
see
that
you
Amy
I,
heard
your
public
comment.
I
see
you
emailed
us,
but
I
didn't
we
didn't
receive
it
ahead
of
the
meeting
so,
but
this
is
a
time-sensitive
decision
that
we
need
to
make,
because
we
need
to
give
you
direction
for
a
future
meeting.
Is
that
right?
Q
Tonight,
it's
mostly
direction
on
right,
CCA
and
moving
forward.
You
know
as
soon
as
we
can
practically
do
it
in
a
sound
fiscal
way
which
we
believe
is
in
a
year,
but
you
have
to
start
doing
the
paperwork
almost
a
year
ahead.
So
we
need
to
start
that
process
and
with
them
100
percent
carbon.
But
people
have
a
choice
not
to
do
that
program
to
do
the
lesser
program
or
to
opt
out
for
Edison.
Thank
you
that's!
Q
F
A
E
Mayor
and
city
council
for
your
consideration
is
a
resolution
proposing
procedures
for
the
selection
of
a
mayor
and
Mayor
Pro
Tem
for
implementation
following
the
next
general
municipal
election
in
November,
2000
19.
To
summarize,
the
procedures
call
for
the
mayor
and
Mayor
Pro
Tem
to
be
the
senior
most
councilmembers
that
have
not
yet
served
as
mayor
or
mayor
pro-tem.
E
The
terms
for
mayor
mayor
pro-tem
are
to
be
one
year,
an
accounts
member
may
decline
or
the
first
service
if
the,
if
desired,
alternative
methods
for
selection
are
outlined
in
the
staff
report
and
contained
in
your
yellow
folder
is
a
survey
of
Coachella
Valley
cities
and
their
methods
for
selecting
the
mayor
and
Mayor
Pro
Tem.
These
proposed
resolution
is
recommended
by
the
City
Council
Subcommittee
on
the
CVRA,
which
is
California
Voting
Rights
Act,
Mayor,
Pro,
Tem,
Kors
and
councilmember
Middleton
and
I
defer
to
the
subcommittee
for
any
additional
comments.
Councilmember.
Q
F
Councilmember
Roberts:
this
is
one
thing
we
wanted
you
here
for
so
we
waited
on
this
last
time
for
you.
Thank
you
for
doing
your
work.
Doing
the
work
on
this
and
it
sounds
like
you
really
just
looked
at
lots
of
different
cities
as
models,
but
primarily
Cathedral
City,
and
what
they
did
and
then
the
additional
materials
it
looks
like
I
asked
the
city
clerk
when
he
distributed
it
to
you
and
the
yellow
folders,
and
it's
here
for
the
public
as
well.
What
other
cities
have
done?
F
You
know
it's
interesting
because
I
think
I've
been
thinking
about
all
the
work
that
we've
done
for
the
California
Voting
Rights,
Act
and
sort
of
our
goals
in
doing
that.
I
have
some
concerns
about
doing
it
by
seniority
and
especially
by
highest
vote
getter.
So
I
think
that
we
actually
cannot
do
it
by
a
tiebreaker
highest
vote
getter
because
of
the
differences
in
voters
in
the
districts
and
the
differences
in
voter
turnout
in
the
districts.
So
you
know
District
one
has
only.
F
We're
always
going
to
have
two
people
getting
on
council
at
the
same
time
and
then
three
people
getting
on
council
at
the
same
time.
So
for
me,
they're
always
obviously
will
always
be
a
tie
for
seniority.
Unless
people
drop
off
and
and
one
person
is
here
for
17
years
or
something
like
that,
but
I'm
just
a
bit
confused
about
how
that
would
work.
It
doesn't
how
it
works.
There's
a
few
things
to
decide.
So
there's
how
it's
gonna
work
in
the
interim
before
we're
all
districted.
F
So
the
two
years,
while
we
are
still
at
large
and
then
how
the
rotation
will
go
so
I
couldn't
quite
understand
from
the
resolution.
Is
it
that
you're,
starting
with
the
most
senior
and
then
evenly
rotating
every
single
year,
so
it
got
goes
5,
4,
3,
2
1,
or
is
it
that
it's
gonna
be
this
complex
calculation?
F
Each
time
over
who
has
most
seniority
and
then
who
has
the
most
votes
so
I
liked
I,
prefer
the
cities
that
are
just
straight
like
the
city
of
woodland
that
has
2
3,
4,
5,
1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
1
I.
Think
the
benefits
are
that,
like
I,
can't
decide.
I
can't
figure
out
sitting
up
here
with
all
this
information,
how
it
will
go
in
the
next
few
years
and
the
next
5
or
6
cycles.
F
It
looks
to
me,
like
it,
wouldn't
probably
be
fair
because
it
would
prioritize
seniority
over
who
is
the
next
in
line
the
district
in
line.
So
if
I'm
missing
something
please
let
me
know
we're
gonna
have
to
have
a
tiebreaker.
If
you
we
do
it
on
seniority,
but
I
think
what's
important
for
residents,
city
councilmembers
candidates
is
to
be
able
to
predict
and
know
and
understand.
Okay.
F
Q
Not
was
intended
I
think
the
intention,
because
there
was
the
desire
from
the
working
group
that
someone
at
least
be
on
council
a
full
year
before
their
mayor
is
sort
of
to
start
with
seniority
for
the
first
process,
and
then
it
would
move
on
to
a
regular
cycle.
So
no
one
would
write
every
fifth
year.
Someone
from
that
district
would
have
the
opportunity
to
be
mayor
if
they
wanted
so.
F
H
Is
clear
sure
we
get
it
get
it
written?
One
of
the
things
that
we
clearly
were
trying
to
do
with
this
is
to
remove
personality
and
to
to
make
this
very
predictable
and
I
want
to
thank
the
city
clerk
for
all
of
the
research
that
he
did.
We
looked
at
a
number
of
different
cities
in
terms
of
their
model,
for
how
they
did
it.
Seniority
is
used
far
more
frequently
than
I
could
find
any
other
way
of
defining.
What
is
the
order
going
to
be
one
of
the
things
that
we
established
in
here?
H
Anyone
who
serves
for
five
years
will
have
the
opportunity
to
serve
as
mayor,
and
so
it
will
always
work
that
way.
I
think
there
and
I'll
reinforce
what
we
got
from
the
working
group
I
believe
that,
having
sat
on
City
Council
for
over
a
year
now,
it
is
helpful
to
have
the
experience
of
sitting
on
council
before
being
responsible
for
presiding
at
meetings
and
therefore
there
is
a
value
that
comes
with
with
some
seniority.
H
Now
it's
it's
conceivable.
Someone
could
be
mayor
in
their
second
year
under
the
system,
depending
on
how
elections
go
so
I
I
feel
very
strongly
that
we
should
have
seniority
as
a
part
of
the
criteria
and
making
a
determination,
but
that
only
applies
to
what
the
order
is
going
to
be,
and
this
order
begins
in
December
2019.
So
on
December
2019,
when
the
new
council
takes
place,
whoever
happens
to
be
the
most
senior
individual
would
have
an
opportunity
to
serve
as
mayor.
H
We
do
create
in
here
an
opportunity
which
we
saw
in
other
cities
for
an
individual
to
defer
or
to
decline
being
the
mayor
or
mayor
pro-tem,
and
there
are
any
number
of
very
legitimate
reasons
why
someone
won't
want
to
defer
our
decline.
One
of
the
things
that
we
were
trying
to
be
very
cautious
of,
though,
is
that
if
someone
makes
a
decision,
I
just
don't
want
to
do
one
of
those
jobs.
H
There
are
numerous
different
ways
that
ties
can
be
broken
and,
yes,
there
will
always
be
people
coming
on
city
council
likely
at
the
same
time,
it
is
not
guaranteed
that
one
more
than
one
individual
will
be.
The
method
that's
suggested
here.
Whoever
has
the
most
votes
is
what's
commonly
used
and
it's
more
commonly
used
than
any
other
method,
and
it
is
a
very
predictable
method
in
terms
that
it
does
define.
That
does
create
some
issues
here,
in
which
we
do
not
have
exactly
the
same
number
of
people
in
each
district.
H
We
don't
know
how
many
people
will
run
in
each
district.
There
could
be
two
people
running
in
a
district.
There
could
be
three,
there
could
be
five,
so
whoever
gets
the
most
votes
is
impart
a
product
of
how
many
people
are
in
a
district.
It's
also
part
of
how
many
people
are
running
against
one
another.
D
So,
having
served
as
mayor
and
and
having
gone
through
this
process
and
on
another
city,
I
may
be
the
only
one
up
here.
Who
has
that
experience
and
what
I
learned
from
that
experience,
which
I
offer
here
is
I,
come
from
a
place
of
more
flexibility,
so
how
we
handled
it.
There
was
that
the
mayor
and
Mayor
Pro
Tem
were
elected
by
the
council,
and
the
idea
was
very
simple:
you've
needed
to
serve
at
least
one
year
to
have
a
little
experience
under
your
belt.
You
needed
to
be
elected
by
the
majority
of
the
council.
D
The
idea
was
rotation.
The
idea
was,
the
concept
was
to
give
anybody
on
the
council
who
really
wanted
it
the
opportunity,
but
we
didn't
lock
it
in
stone,
and
what
we
found
is
that
some
people
don't
want
to
do
it,
and
there
are
times
that
sometimes
somebody
shouldn't
do
it
and
we
had.
We
had
those
two
situations
occur.
D
The
only
real
hard
regulation
that
we
added
was
that
you
couldn't
serve
more
than
once
during
your
term
unless
everyone
else
who
wanted
to
had
already
served
or
the
council
by
vote,
felt
that
that
was
the
right
choice
and
because
because
it
was
always
a
voting
majority,
it
was
really
more
about
how
the
council
works
together
and
and
who
they
see
and
trust
to
essentially
serve
as
chair,
because
the
way
it
is
now
even
today
and
where
we're
headed.
This
is
a
mayor
position
that
has
no
more
power
than
one
vote
on
the
City
Council.
D
So,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
would
I
would
make
this
I
would
loosen
this
up
even
more
and
simply
say
that
the
only
real
restriction
give
yourself
the
flexibility
to
vote
for
one
another
have
one
year
of
experience
and
obviously
anybody
can
define
or
defer,
and
hopefully
no
one
will
serve
more
than
once
in
one
term
now.
Having
said
that,
if
that
doesn't
have
any
interest
on
the
with
the
rest
of
the
council,
the
recommended.
D
You
know
the
staff
report
recommendation
to
me
works
fine,
it's
just
slightly
more
restrictive
than
that
and
I
would
go
with
that.
I
think
it
works
much
better
than
forcing
rotation
and
I.
Think
in
some
of
these
situations
is,
and
it
can
get
complex
so
in
the
end
I
would
say:
give
yourself
flexibility.
H
Just
quick,
1
and
I
agree
with
councilmember
Roberts
keeping
some
flexibilities
is
very
important.
This
is
a
resolution,
so
I
think
some
of
the
circumstances
that
you
described
in
Sausalito.
Those
are
unique
things
happen
that
is
difficult
to
predict.
You
know,
and
as
this
is
a
resolution,
it
is
possible
for
a
future
city
council
dealing
with
emergency
situations
dealing
with
something
that
would
be
very
unexpected
to
make
a
change
in
these
processes
as
they
need
to
I.
D
Would
suggest
it
and,
of
course
you're
right,
you
know
in
any
situation
a
council
can
can
do
an
urgency,
but
I
will
tell
you
that
in
a
heated
moment
like
that,
it
can
create
a
lot
of
turmoil
rather
than
just
having
the
flexibility
to
take
an
action
but
to
having
to
rewrite
your
process
or
do
an
urgency
in
the
middle
of
a
drama
with
with
it.
It
can
really
turn
things
over
and
create.
D
You
know
a
lot
of
discomfort
with
the
community
as
well,
because
it
can
turn
into
a
and
I've
seen
that
happen
in.
In
other
situations,
where
you
have
a
high
political
drama
going
on,
and
you
start
to
lose
trust
from
the
community
and
so
again,
that's
why
I
would
suggest
keeping
it
more
flexible
rather
than
having
to
change
it
in
the
middle
of
a
potential
political
meltdown,
but
again
either
way
works
well,
I
mean
you
know
what
I
met.
Yeah
political
meltdowns
work
because
they're
gonna
happen
anyway.
I
was.
H
F
Yeah
I
think
is
this.
This
actually
is
a
really
important
conversation
decision
for
us
right
now,
because
I
think
just
like
districts
how
we
adopted
a
map
that
will
stand,
it
will
be
changed,
but
essentially
it's
not
gonna
be
completely
changed
and
I
think
this
actually
is
the
first
time
that
we're
deciding
this
as
as
a
city
and
so
how
we
do
it
really
matters
going
forward.
I
agree
with
the
one
year
requirement.
If
that's
the
point
of
seniority,
I.
Think,
of
course,
it's
hard
to
chair
a
meeting
before
serving
so
I.
F
Think
that
that's
a
good
requirement
I'm
strongly
opposed
to
the
vote,
numbers
breaking
ties
and
it's
complicated,
I
hear
I,
hear
you
that
I
hadn't
thought
that
fully
through
that,
maybe
there
would
be
six
or
ten
candidates,
I
mean
things
out
of
people's
control.
So
if
it's
an
arbitrary
way
to
pick
someone
if
there's
a
tie,
maybe
that's
fine
I'm
concerned
that
you
know
we
did
this
in
the
goal
of
following
the
California
Voting,
Rights
Act
and
in
diversity,
equity,
inclusion
and
making
sure
everyone
can
serve.
F
We're
gonna
have
a
lot
of
firsts
for
mayor
because
of
this
system,
I'm
concerned
that
the
seniority
and
issue
prioritizing
seniority
that
prioritizes
people
who
can
serve
for
a
long
period
of
time
who
you
know
are,
can
get
reelected
multiple
times
and
then
especially,
the
vote
count
is
gonna.
You
know
disproportionately
affect
communities,
candidates
of
color
voters
of
color,
so
I'm
really
I
mean
looking
at
all
the
demographic
data
for
the
districts.
I'm
really
concerned
that
that's
not
the
right
way
to
go.
F
I
know
that
that's
what's
commonly
used,
but
also
that's
for
a
lot
of
cities
that
are
not
districts
yet.
The
Coachella
Valley
cities
that
do
that
I
know.
Cathedral
City
did
but
also
cities
that
don't
share
our
values
and
all
the
work
that
we've
done
on
this
I
know
the
working
group,
the
California
Voting
Rights
Act
working
group,
actually
recommended
with
what
jr.
suggests
suggested
just
open
flexible
so
that
the
council
can
decide
their
chair
that
comes
with
benefits
as
and
and
cons
as
well,
because
there
could
be
implicit
bias
there.
F
People
don't
vote
for
the
woman
or
whoever
it
is
for
certain
reasons.
So
I
think.
There's
pros
and
cons
to
both
it's
hard,
because
people
will
have
four
years
in
their
terms,
and
actually
this
coming
term
will
be
three
years
and
we
also
cut
our
terms
short
by
a
year
as
well.
So
in
whatever
we
do,
whoever
is
elected,
isn't
not
everyone's
going
to
have
an
opportunity
to
be
mayor
in
their
term
unless
they're
in
four
years
since
there's
five
districts.
Q
Q
So
the
way
this
was
thought
and
it
was
based
on
you-
know,
other
cities
and
I
think
I'm
open
to
more
flexibility
as
well
is
you
know
you
start
with
the
most
senior,
but
that
person
doesn't
get
to
serve
again
if
there
are
other
people
who
haven't
served
until
at
least
five
years,
so
it's
not
I,
don't
think
it's
creating
that
I
think
some
of
the
concerns
you're
worried
about
that
way
because
it
would
just
go.
You
know
if
there's
someone
junior,
they
would
still
get
to
serve
next.
Q
H
You
know
one
of
the
things
that
you
need
that
I
think
may
be
missed
here.
Is
you
can't
repeat
as
mayor
until
every
other
individual
has
an
opportunity
to
be
mayor?
No
one
can
be
unless
somebody
declines
or
defers.
So
let's
try
to
take
that
out
of
it.
You
can't
do
it
more
than
once,
every
five
years,
so
whoever
happens
on
to
some
December
2019
to
have
the
most
seniority
will
get
the
first
shot
at
it.
Then
in
2020,
it'll
go
to
number
two
and
2021
it'll
go
to
number
three
and
so
on.
H
H
Could
come
up
on
a
rotation
to
where
they
needed
a
fifty
year
in
order
to
get
on
to
have
the
opportunity
to
serve
as
mayor,
but
they
were
assuming
they're
reelected.
They
would
get
that
opportunity
in
their
fifth
year,
but
there's
there's
five
individuals
that
have
a
chance
to
serve
and
we're
generally
running
in
four-year
terms.
So.
F
I
understand
what
you
are
trying
to
do
in
reading
in
just
having
a
blank
slate
of
me
reading
this
resolution
and
trying
to
understand
how
that
cycle
would
work,
I
don't
get
there
I
think
part
of
it
is
it's.
Your
resolution
is
based
on
council
members
who've
served
as
opposed
to
districts,
so
it
doesn't
actually
right
in
the
fairness
between
districts.
So.
Q
Let
me
ask
the
question
on
that
because
and
that's
the
question
so
if,
let's
just
say,
district
four
right
has
a
new
person
every
four
years
right
right,
so
that
they
get
precedence
over
someone
who's,
and
there
has
been
for
five
years
from
serving
again
that
right.
So
is
it
the
district
or
is
it?
Does
everyone
get
a
shot
every
five
years
right.
D
D
I
think
districts
have
sent
people
your
mic.
Oh
the
way
we're
headed
is
districts
are
sending
I
default
here.
The
council's
already
the
city's
already
fully
represented
or
the
districts
are
already
fully
represented,
that
person's
been
elected
and
since
so
that
person
already
has
the
position
of
being
a
representative.
D
D
D
Simply
because
if
you're
rotating
two
council
members
and
three
council
members
every
two
years,
each
council
member
could
have
an
opportunity
to
serve
as
mayor
in
their
term
once
and
unless
you
have
an
anomaly
that
person
really
wouldn't
have
an
opportunity
to
serve
again.
It
would
require
an
anomaly
and
the
other
thing
I
want
to
suggest
to
you
from
what
I've
seen,
not
only
in
my
own
experience,
but
also
witnessing
other
cities
that
use
this
system
or
this
much
flexibility.
Is
it
usually
kind
of
works
itself
out
much
in
the
way
that
we're
expected?
D
And
if,
if
we're
worth,
our
salt
have
enough
respect
for
one
another
and
work
closely
that
we
can
kind
of
solve
that
up
here?
If
you
can't,
you
got
much
bigger
problems
and
I
haven't
seen
a
council
like
that.
Fortunately,
maybe
dr.
Reddy,
as
maybe
others
with
a
lot
more
experience,
have
Peter
shaking
his
head.
No,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
guess
the
main
reason
I
would
still
stand
by
more
flexibilities.
D
It
tends
to
work
itself
out
and
in
an
in
a
two
and
three
and
in
in
when
you
have
cycles
of
two
or
three
people
being
elected
every
two
years,
you're
covered
on
the
ability
to
be
mayor
or
to
serve
in
those
positions.
So
now
this
first
run
is
confusing
that
one
you're
just
gonna
have
to
iron
out,
because
everything
got
you
know
everything
got
turned
upside
down
funny
enough
I
had
to
serve
when
I
served
in
Sausalito.
We
went
the
other
way.
We
we
changed
from
spring
to
fall.
A
Okay,
I
was
just
gonna.
Add
one
thing
on
to
this:
well,
I
totally
agree
with
councilmember
holstege
on
number
of
voters.
Number
of
votes
is
not
really
relevant.
It
was
when
we
were
running
at
large
because
everybody's
running
in
the
same
pool
and
so
person
who
got
the
most
votes
it
was.
It
was
actually
a
measure
in
districts.
It's
not
one
thing
I.
This
brings
up
a
discussion.
We
just
had
a
sieve,
AG
recently
an
executive
committee
because
NC
bag,
the
the
chairmanship
rotates
every
year
between
the
cities.
A
It's
not
the
individual,
it's
the
city,
and
in
this
case
we
have
districts.
So
you
know
having
the
model
here
as
councillor
holstege
said
like
the
one
that
was
in
here
from
Woodland,
where
it's
by
districts
makes
sense,
because
that
way,
each
district
will
have
the
opportunity
to
be
represented
by
this
person.
Who's.
The
mayor
of
the
city
and
I
know
in
seabag.
We
just
had
the
situation
where
the
city
that
came
up
in
do
for
chairmanship
their
representatives,
their
mayor
wasn't
reelected,
so,
but
so
so
they
didn't
jump
to
the
next
city.
A
They
actually
they.
Actually.
You
know
we're.
Gonna
put
someone
from
that
city
into
the
spot,
because
the
discussion
was
that
you're,
not
the
it's,
not
the
person
that
matters.
It's
the
dista
City,
that's
on
the
representing
on
the
sea
bag,
so
I
think
that
same
philosophy
should
go
with
us
here
where
it's
not
the
person,
it
is
the
district,
so
the
district
should
have
a
fair
share
at
this.
A
Now,
as
councilman
Roberts
said,
the
first
time
is:
gonna
have
to
do
some
some
some
computing
here,
but
then,
after
that
a
sugar
issue
should
be
able
to
get
into
a
rotation,
but
if
it
gets
to
the
city,
the
city
comes
up
and
it's
their
turn
and
the
person
is
brand
new.
They
don't
have
a
year.
You'd
have
you
could?
Maybe
you
know
make
an
arrangement
to
skip
that,
but
this
is.
We
should
I.
Think
council
should
look
at
this
because
of
all
we've
been
through
with
districts.
A
The
the
the
the
representative
position
of
mayor
should
be
here
that,
whatever
you
would
call
it
as
mayor
should
be
evenly
rotate
between
them
between
the
district's.
It's
only
fair
and
by
the
way
one
thing
I'd
like
to
add.
Is
you
know
when
you,
when
somebody's
there's
a
lot
of
stuff,
you
have
to
juggle
when
you're
chairing
these
meetings?
A
But
one
thing
that's
really
helped
is
a
couple
of
years
ago,
three
years
ago,
we
as
a
council
because
I've
there
was
no
guidance
when
we
came
in
three
years
ago,
but
the
the
resolution
we
did
on
the
council
rules
of
procedure
really
make
it
easier
because
it
actually
lays
out
exactly
what
you
do
and
also
having
a
good
city
clerk.
Who
can
I
mean
I,
go
by
see
the
city
clerk
before
the
meeting.
A
Every
time
we
have
a
meeting
and
I
sit
with
him
and
say:
is
there
anything
special
about
the
meeting
and
he
you
know
we
talk
about
what
things
don't
have
to
be
voted
on
with
it.
So
he
still
helps
me
out
after
three
years
on
on
meeting.
So
those
are
two
things
that
what
helped
people
is
they
can
rotate
through
this
position.
H
Well,
one
of
the
things
that
we've
always
tried
to
do
is
make
sure
we
get
this
right,
and
so,
if
there's
a
proposal
that
someone
would
like
to
make,
we
could
do
that.
What
I
would
suggest,
though,
is
that
we
continue
this
until
the
next
meeting
give
everyone
an
opportunity
to
identify
what
their
proposals
would
be
in
terms
of
changes
to
this
really
sit
down
and
think
through
and
and
communicate
those
those
recommendations
to
the
city
clerk.
If
we
can
so
that
we
can
compare
every
every
idea
on
this
and
then
come
back.
D
A
Next
item
is
under
under
new
business
item
five
declaration
of
local
emergency
and
report
of
emergency
debris,
removal,
cleanup
road
repairs,
building
remediation
and
repairs
related
to
the
February
14
2019
flood
pursuant
to
section
201.
Six,
eight
of
the
California
public
contract
code
in
Section,
7.0
4.04
over
the
Palm
Springs
Municipal
Code
and
the
city
manager
has
a
presentation
here.
R
R
R
I
was
told
by
Riverside
County
Flood
Control
District
that
the
rain
gauges
up
near
Idlewild,
recorded
over
nine
inches
of
rain
and
in
some
cases
that
exceeded
what
is
called
the
100-year
event
coupled
with
it,
was
a
warm
storm
and
it
melted
all
the
snow
that
had
fallen
on
the
previous
storms
before
that.
So
all
of
that
led
to
some
significant
runoff
which
affected
all
of
the
different
washes
and
rivers
in
in
Palm
Springs.
R
We
did
an
initial
total
damage
assessment
for
the
county,
which
was
used
for
the
declaration
at
the
state's
level,
which
approaches
almost
two
million
dollars
right
now.
We're
fronting
that
money
with
the
city's
risk
fund,
which
is
essentially
funded
through
the
general
fund,
and,
as
we
mentioned
now,
with
the
governor's
declaration,
it
opens
a
our
opportunity
to
recover
those
costs.
R
So,
as
we
showed
last
time,
there
was
so
much
debris
coming
out
of
the
mountain
that,
if
you
don't
know,
there's
a
large
flood
control
basin
at
where
the
the
tribes
Visitor
Center
is
at-taqwa
Creek,
that
that
was
developed,
I
believe
in
the
80s,
with
the
intent
of
doing
what
it
did
during
the
storm,
which
was
to
hold
back
all
that
debris.
But
there
was
so
much
that
I
think
this
was
the
first
time
that
it
completely
filled
and
spilled
over
into
talk,
whit
screech.
R
So
if
you
were
watching
the
flood
coming
through
talk
with
creeks,
all
that
debris
then
spilled
through
tog
was
creaking
caused
all
the
damage.
You
see
here
at
the
different
roadways
that
crosstalk
was
Creek,
which
includes
the
golf
course
and
feral
Drive
in
el
cielo
and
then
downstream
to
the
golf
club,
so
golf
club,
the
low
water
crossing.
There
worked
it's
just
that
the
water
spreads
so
far
that
it
ate
into
the
asphalt
on
the
what
would
be
the
north
side
of
that
crossing
and,
of
course,
feral
was
just
obliterated.
R
R
Just
just
down
from
rim
rim
Road,
where
site
County,
Flood
Control
District
is
now
working
to
do
an
emergency,
essentially
emergency
project,
starting
potentially
next
week,
because
so
much
sediment
was
deposited.
They
estimate
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
yards
have
to
be
removed
from
the
Palm
Canyon
wash
and
basically
the
carrying
capacity
that
washes
has
been
eliminated.
R
Luckily,
I
think
they've
remained
arrangements
with
Robertson's
ready-mix
down
in
Coachella
who's,
taking
all
this
material,
because
it's
actually
great
material
for
them
to
use.
So,
but
in
the
meantime,
so
the
Arabi
was
basically
covered
with
five
six
feet
of
sediment
and
parts
of
it
was
lost
and
so
we're
working
to
get
that
reopened.
R
The
water
I
mean
this
was
the
most
I've
ever
seen
it
actually
ate
into
that
berm
uncovered
an
old
that
had
been
buried
and
and
lost
for
years,
and
it
just
it
shows
the
the
the
power
of
that
water
and,
of
course,
here's
a
reminder.
Please
do
not
drive
around
Road
barricades
and
road
closed
signs
because
you
will
get
stuck
and
you
could
lose
your
life
and
so
here's
a
truck
that
tried
to
make
their
way
down.
R
Gene
autry
trail
and
got
stuck,
and
then,
of
course
we
as
we
mentioned
the
water,
was
so
much
that
it
came
around
angel
Cove
around
the
this
is
the
area
in
there
windy
point
and
then
just
basically
drained
down
highway
111
in
the
southbound
lanes,
depositing
a
bunch
of
material
and
causing
damage,
and
then
this
is
actually
Chino
Creek,
where
it
crossed
over
the
the
northbound
lanes.
And
so
this
was
what
led
to
the
closure
of
111.
R
This
was
Spencer's,
they
had
a
natural
waterfall
and
it
and
Bristow
served
as
it
was
intended.
So
if
people
have
always
questioned,
why
are
the
curbs
1215
inches
high?
It's
because
of
this
waterfall.
You
see,
on
the
left
hand,
side
that
comes
out
of
the
mountain,
so
that,
basically,
is
our
report.
I
do
have
Brandon
Alexander
I
want
him,
bring
him
up,
because
our
public
golf
courses
were
really
significantly
damaged.
R
M
Yves
Leonard
he's
Regional
Manager
out
of
Scottsdale.
He
helps
me
out
from
time
to
time
welcome.
So
we
had
three
to
four
feet
of
debris.
On
the
legend
Golf
Course,
our
team
was
able
to
remove
that.
We
open
that
golf
course.
Approximately
eight
days
later,
which
was
good
get
the
revenue
back
Resort
course
is
still
closed.
As
of
today,
as
Marcus
mentioned,
a
lot
of
the
structure
damage
is
a
car
pass,
turf,
large
pieces
of
material
just
completely
washed
away
plan.
M
There
is
to
get
it
some
temporary
fencing
put
up
that
were
renting,
so
we
can
get
that
golf
course
open
back
up
to
play
where
it's
safe
for
participants
playing
golf
or
anybody
that
might
wander
out
there
at
this
point
plan
is
hopefully
to
have
it
open
by
Monday.
Fencing
spell
start
going
up
tomorrow,.
M
Our
in
church
broker
our
property
insurance
broker;
they
have
their
chief
adjuster
here
on
site.
We
met
with
him
today,
he'll
be
here
tomorrow
and
Friday
as
well.
He
brought
in
HMI,
which
is
a
representative
of
the
market
for
the
insurance
company,
and
they
brought
in
a
golfcourse
consultant.
Their
role
is
to
look
at
scope
of
work.
M
Try
to
decide
what
is
it
in
fact
that
we
have
what
we
need
to
do
to
rebuild
it
as
it
was,
and
what
the
costs
associated
that
with
that
is
that
may
take
fifteen
to
thirty
days
we
were
told,
but,
like
I
said
they
are
here
now
and
evaluating
that
BMB
is
also
been
engaged
with
their
insurance
company.
That's
business
interruption!
That's
for
the
loss
in
revenue
we've
incurred.
While
the
golf
course
is
closed.
M
They
have
our
financials
now
they're,
aware
of
our
situation
and
when
we're
trying
to
be
open
on
both
courses
and
what
the
result
of
that
is,
and
the
only
other
thing
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
was
that
before
this
event
we
were
having
our
best
year
ever
we
were
joining
$50,000
ahead
budget.
As
of
the
end
of
January
financials
and
that
got
washed
away
in
14
days,
so
that's
where
we
are
right
now
you
have
any
questions,
I'd
be
happy
to
try
to
get
through
and.
R
I
just
want
to
point
out,
you
know:
Century
Golf
is
our
operator,
but
the
city
funds.
The
operations
of
the
golf
course,
so
the
losses
to
the
city's
bottom
line
and
and
their
property
insurance
will
help
mitigate
that
loss
for
the
city.
So
we're
looking
forward
to
finding
out
how
that
is
resolved.
Those
insurance
proceeds
go
back
into
the
revenue
of
the
golf
operations
and
and
cover
those
costs,
so
those
costs
are
our
costs.
R
E
A
Passes
five
to
zero,
okay,
the
next
item
I
believe
customer
Middleton
mentioned
wanting
to
table
this.
But
let
me
read
it:
first:
public
art,
relocation
of
the
sculptures,
butch
I
feelin,
squeezed
by
artist,
John
Clement,
to
the
talk
with
scallion
way,
medium
between
Ferrell
Drive
and
el
cielo
Road.
Let's
go
ahead,
a
staff
report,
then
we
can
discuss
council
Rosen's
recommendation.
A
E
Leaving
mayor
mayor,
pro-tem
council,
the
sculpture
by
artist
John
Clement,
were
alone
to
the
city
from
bush
line,
mowett
Fine
Arts
Limited,
and
that
was
for
a
limited
period
of
time
approximately
eighteen
months.
But
what
had
happened
was
the
sculptures,
ended
up
being
sold
and
to
an
extent
abandoned.
E
Accommodations,
the
city
ended
up,
holding
them
on
sight,
paying
for
their
maintenance
and
cleaning
and
eventually
accumulated
a
bill
to
the
owner
of
approximately
fifty
four
thousand
dollars.
Now
we
have
just
very
recently
negotiated
a
settlement
due
to
the
good
work
of
our
city
attorney.
We're
in
the
new
owner
has
agreed
to
forego
any
ownership
rights
in
the
sculptures,
and
with
that
happening,
it
freed
up
a
long-standing
request
by
the
public
Arts
Commission
to
locate
those
sculptures
on
the
talk
with
speed,
e'en
and
that's
where
we're
at
okay.
H
My
reasoning
for
suggesting
that
we
to
continue
this
to
the
next
meeting
the
locations
that
are
being
proposed
on
the
medians
along
Tok
whatz
I,
get
that
they're
attractive
and
they
would
provide
an
artistic
approach
from
the
airport
into
the
downtown
area.
Those
are
very
narrow,
medians
and
these
are
pretty
vibrant
and
tall
structures.
H
F
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I
had
the
same
concerns
and
I
just
didn't
see
a
lot
of
information
here.
I
was
trying
to
look
to
see.
I
said
I
know
that
there's
a
description
of
how
big
the
medians
are
and
how
large
the
art
pieces
are
compared
to
that,
but
I
sort
of
had
a
hard
time
also
determining
just
based
on
the
attachment
to
at
the
end
I'm.
Just
an
aerial
view.
It's
hard
to
really
see,
because
some
of
those
problems
is
a
problem
depending
on
the
intersection
and
how
you
turn
into
the
Main
Street.
J
R
R
We
didn't
consider
that
they
would
be
obstructing
fully
obstructing
the
view
of
traffic.
The
one
the
one
location
at
Farrell
I
mean
each
of
these
sits
back
from
the
turn
pocket
where
you're.
Turning
and
the
question
is
from
the
other
direction,
would
they
represent
a
restriction?
And
so
you
know
it
would
be
difficult
to
say
until
they're
in
place.
They
certainly
could
be
reoriented
to
see
you
know,
because
because
of
the
nature
of
the
squiggles,
whether
they
completely
obstruct
the
view,
but
it's
something
we
can
continue
to
pursue.
Q
My
only
question
was
so
if
I'm
reading
this
right,
the
public,
Arts
Commission,
voted
to
put
them
here
three
years
ago.
Has
it
gone
back
to
the
Arts
Commission
since,
or
is
this
because
I'm
wondering
why
the
chair
would
have
a
concern
if
this
was
recently
from
the
reform
that
looks
like
this
is
three
years
old
and
just
making
its
way
here
now.
J
E
L
J
Oh,
when
the
Arts
Commission
really
originally
did
this.
Yes,
there
is
this
large
time
lag
was
because
we
couldn't
determine
ownership,
the
the
owner
of
that
we
kept
trying
to
get
them
to
come
and
remove
them.
They
were
non-responsive
and
what
I
said
to
the
city
attorney
is
that
the
Arts
Commission
wants
this
council
to
place
these,
but
we
don't
have
ownership
and
we
need
to
resolve
this
so
either
they're
abandoned
either.
J
We
have
to
do
what
you
have
to
do
formally
to
make
sure
that
they're
abandoned
so
council
connect,
and
this
has
been
a
long
long
process.
So
so
here
we
are
III
my
cents
on
this
is
these
are
large
objects
and
I.
Don't
know
why
we
would
want
to
potentially
even
expose
ourselves
to
this
I.
Don't
think
it's
the
right
fit,
but
again
I'm,
not
the
artist
on
this.
Q
J
Wish
that
this
artist
did
but
no
and
then
there's
been
a
new
art,
it
was
sold
to
someone
else
and
they
don't
apparently
have
an
interest,
but
the
artist
the
artist
is
abandon
essentially
abandoned
them
in
all
our
all,
our
attempts
to
the
artist
we've
gone
either.
What
just
Jay
has
responded
or
was
not
interested.
E
J
D
I
want
to
throw
out
something:
I
know
this
is
gonna,
come
back,
but
I
just
want
to
throw
out
a
concept
if
we're
gonna
send
this
back,
you
know.
Perhaps
we
should
look
at
this
about
the
way
museums
look
at
art
that
they're
not
sure
they
still
want
or
need.
Maybe
we
want
to
consider
D
assessing
these,
and
that
means
they
could
be
sold
off
if
we
owned
them
outright
or
perhaps
other
cities
are
interested
or
developers
are
interested
in
using
them
that
should
be
thrown
into
the
mix
as
well.
D
There
are
a
lot
of
these
around
down
I'm
thinking
of
a
doctor's
office
that
has
one
up
against
their
wall
and
up
on
the
north,
into
town,
there's
and
there's
so
many
of
these
around
town.
So
perhaps
the
problem
is
we're
trying
to
find
places
for
them,
but
maybe
the
we
have
enough
of
them.
Maybe
it's
time
get
rid
of
a
few
of
them
or
let
other
cities
or
other
environments
enjoy
them
and
I
would
just
like
to
I.
Would
counsel
is
an
agreement
with
me
on
this?
D
Q
F
D
Q
D
F
H
A
A
E
Thank
You
mayor
once
again
it's
time
to
issue
the
request
for
proposal
for
Community
Development
Block,
Grant
funds,
and
we
wanted
to
check
in
with
the
council
on
the
process,
also
want
to
give
you
just
a
quick
refresher
on
some
of
the
requirements
and
restrictions
on
the
CDBG
funds.
They
are
required
to
be
used
towards
benefiting
low,
moderate
income,
persons
preventing
or
eliminating
slums
and
blight
and
meeting
urgent
local
community
needs.
E
Q
Thank
You
mayor
and
thank
you
for
staff
and
the
reason
I
asked
for
this
sort
of
be
a
discussion
before
everything
started
was
just
so
we
could
give
some
input
and
some
questions,
so
the
six-member
citizens
advisory
committee
is
in
accordance
with
the
citizen
participation
plan.
So
you
just
explained
so.
Is
that
those
six
categories
for
participation,
those
representatives
set
by
HUD
or
is
that
something
we've
set?
The.
S
S
Typically,
the
citizens
participation
plan
is
a
part
of
the
five-year
consolidated
plan,
so
this
coming
year,
we
will
be
in
our
fifth
year,
so
come
2021
we're
going
to
go
through
the
process
of
establish
in
a
new
five-year
plan.
So
there
is
the
flexibility,
the
opportunity
to
relook
at
the
representation,
but
over
the
years
the
city
has
identified
these
special
populations
and
the
three
city
Commission's
to
make
up
that
citizen
participation
plan
and.
Q
I
appreciate
that
from
at
least
the
first
year
for
some
of
us,
we
have
changed
the
people
in
those
roles,
so
they're,
not
applicants
which
I
think
was
a
really
good
change.
So
I
really
appreciate
the
work
to
make
that
happen
and
I
think
we
brought
up
last
year.
One
of
the
concerns
of
this
group
is
given
council
goal-setting,
we've
done
in
past
years,
in
which
money
for
housing
for
low-income
people
and
homelessness
that
we
have
known
with
any
of
those
backgrounds
on
that
group
and
that's
not
been
typically
what's
been.
Getting
getting.
Q
Funding
and
considering
the
three
objectives
are
low,
moderate
income
persons,
preventing
slums
and
blight
and
urgent
Community
Development
needs
those
seem
to
be
the
city's
top
priorities.
Yet
that's
not
we
don't
have
to
represent
from
those
on
here,
not
that
the
other
things
aren't
important.
So
that
was
one
issue
and
I.
Don't
know.
If
that's
something
we
could
change
this
year
or
we
have
to
wait
a
year
for
we.
S
Would
have
to
wait
a
year,
but
I
would
remind
you
that
some
of
those
individuals
are
very
involved
and
the
affordable
housing
homeless.
Standing
council
subcommittee
the
concerns
of
the
park
system
about
the
users
and
maybe
some
obstacles
that
they're
faced
with
with
the
homeless
population,
so
I
do
think.
There's
a
cross
blend
of
individuals
that
have
those
interests
and
those
concerns
and
I.
J
In
some
direction,
that
would
be
helpful.
There
is
relatively
are
the
pot
of
dollar
resources
is
so
small.
Traditionally,
council
has
welcomed
departments
to
submit,
and
we
have
particularly
like
I
believe
improvement
apple
projects,
but
but
the
more
we
do.
Obviously
it
competes
with
the
other
nonprofits.
So
and
now
we
would
certainly
welcome
to
apply
for
more
things
and
so
I
think,
if
that's
the
direction
I'm
getting,
we
will,
but
just
knowing
that
that.
Q
Is
in
competition
not
sure
it's
more,
it's
prioritizing.
So
you
know
what
are
the
top
two
or
three
the
city
wants
to
apply
for
that
make
the
most
sense,
given
the
goals,
as
opposed
to
having
ten
applications
from
the
city,
for
example.
So-
and
maybe
that's
something
you
could
just
work
with
two
of
us,
okay
sort
of
on
I
would.
S
I
would
point
it
at
the
challenge
of
that
is
the
Community
Development
Block
Grant
funds
are
for
low
to
moderate
income
census.
Tracts
are
also
targeted,
are
targeted
to
low
to
moderate
clientele,
so
there's
very
few
census
tracts
within
the
city
that
are
now
low
to
moderate
the
prime
example
for
a
number
of
years
the
desert,
Highland
neighborhood
area,
had
been
a
census
tract
of
its
own
and
had
met
exceeded
the
51
percent.
S
But
when
the
census
tracts
were
read,
redesigned
Reap,
repor,
ssin
--it,
it
included
the
mountain
Gate
subdivision,
so
the
low
to
moderate
population
decreased
dramatically.
So
those
are
the
challenges
we're
faced
with
most
of
the
city
projects
that,
through
the
street
department,
are
starred
low
to
moderate
census,
tracts
yeah.
Q
S
As
well
earlier
point
about
the
council,
grants
and
sponsorship,
applications
are
now
available,
I
could
seek
advice
from
the
City
Clerk's
office
as
to
what
organizations
have
participated
in
that
program
and
that's
a
point
well
taken
our
federal
Community
Development
Block
Grants.
This
past
year
was
421
thousand
dollars,
whereas
our
own
city
grants
and
sponsorship
program
it.
It's
double
that
it's
eight
hundred
and
seventy
seventeen
thousand.
You
know
the
strings
attached
to
any
government
grant
program
where
there's
greater
flexibility
and
latitude
with
the
city
funds.
Q
Actually,
a
lot
of
the
organizations
get
from
both
right,
the
ones
together
this
the
Block,
Grants,
okay
and
the
other
thing
is
I,
think
just
making
sure
given
as
I
look
at
this
and
I.
Think
of
people
who
might
have
been
the
email
address
for
these
organizations-
and
this
came
up
last
year-
no
longer
work
at
those
organizations
and
to
make
sure
we're
getting
that
someone's
actually
receiving
it
in
those
organizations,
whether
it's
a
follow-up
phone
call
or
it
needs
to
be.
Q
S
J
S
J
S
S
A
C
As
a
mention
and
the
February
20th
meeting.
The
auditors
gave
a
brief
overview
of
the
annual
financial
report
in
there.
They
had
mentioned
to
you
the
increases
that
were
happening
in
CalPERS
and
also
into
the
open
in
from
seven
in
1718.
The
CalPERS
liability
increased
by
eighteen
point,
two
million
dollars
and
the
O
peb
increased
by
thirty
four
point:
five
million
dollars
of
the
payments
that
we
are
normal
payments
from
1617.
C
We
were
at
16
million
and
went
to
17
million
in
2017
18,
which
is
a
1.8
million
increase,
and
for
this
fiscal
year
we
are
going
to
be
at
twenty
one
point:
six
million,
which
is
a
three
point.
Six
million
increase
I
would
like
to
now
go
to
my
powerpoint
presentation
and
for
cash
reserve
summary,
which
I
mentioned.
We
ended
the
unrestricted
ending
balance
at
6:30
of
18
was
twenty-one
point:
four
million
20.6%
River
Reserve.
C
Our
estimated
amount
for
six
thirty
of
19
is
twenty
four
point:
five,
with
a
reserve
of
twenty
one
point
six
and
is
noted:
CalPERS
reserved
for
future
costs.
Ending
six
thirty
of
nineteen
is
that
going
to
be
at
ten
million
to
50,
make
sure
I
get
this
and
the
next
slide.
You
have
six-month
comparison
of
revenues.
We
went
from
31
percent
to
35
percent
and
an
increase
of
approximately
six
point.
Two
million
dollars
we'll
go
to
the
next
page
and
I
will
go
over
the
major
revenues
with
you
on
page
number,
four
o
property
tax.
C
We
have
an
increase
of
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
over
the
prior
year
and
T
ot
is
1.2
million
and
sales
tax
is
an
increase
of
2.3
million.
So
this
will
show
you
also
the
percentages
above.
This
does
not
include
measure
J
sales
tax.
On
page
five,
you
will
see
measure
J
sales
tax
revenue.
Excuse
me
the
increase
from
prior
year.
We
are
up
35
from
35
from
34.
Excuse
me
to
35
percent,
and
this
is
for
the
six
month
comparison
and
page
six.
You
will
note
the
vacation
and
Hotel
Motel
rentals.
C
Those
are
going
up
approximately
three
million
per
year
from
15
16
16
17
17
18,
and
we
have
a
budget
this
year
of
33.5
million
dollars
on
page
7.
You
will
see
a
comparison
of
the
six
months
expenditures
and
we
are
at
43%
this
year
compared
to
41%
in
the
prior
year,
and
these
are
comparable
on
page
8.
It
will
give
you
an
analysis
of
the
revenues
for
property
taxes,
t
OT
utility
taxes
and
sales
taxes
and
the
budget
expenditures
at
the
lower
end
of
the
slide.
Q
You
mayor
and
thank
you
for
the
update,
just
one
questions
we
were
I
know
we're
waiting
to
get
sort
of
the
five
year,
rolling
average
increase
in
CalPERS
and
health
retirement
benefits,
but
for
the
so
for
the
next
year.
The
numbers
you
gave
was
that
if
you
know
it,
if
you
don't,
we
can
get
it
another
time
was
that
what
we
were
expecting
a
year
ago
believe.
C
Q
C
A
A
I
know
the
Gaspee
is
requiring
us
to
now
put
on
the
balance
sheet,
the
other
pension
other
post-employment
benefits,
which
are
mostly
I-
think
of
employee
health
care
for
retired
employees
no
longer
with
the
city,
but
that
that
increase
on
that
one
went
up
from
a
hundred
and
thirty
four
point:
million
34.5
million
from
107
to
141.
That's
a
30%
increase
in
one
year.
How
did
that
happen?.
C
A
Okay,
hey
another
question:
I
have
I
brought
this
up
last
year
and
you
know
one
thing
that
I
worry
about
is
a
couple
years
ago
the
council
asked
city
manager
to
do
a
study
of
watt
capital.
Maintenance
requirements
are
needed
to
be
done
on
capital
bill
on
city-owned
buildings.
We
have
a
lot
of
them
and
we,
the
city,
did
that
study
and
it
was
a
pretty
thick
report
here,
and
this
report
shows
this
was
from
2017
to
2036.
A
This
is
not
new
buildings,
or
this
is
just
maintaining
the
building's
we
have.
It
came
out
to
269
million
dollars
over
that
20
year
period
and
now
two
years
have
passed
and
if
you
99
million
of
that
is
the
airport,
which
is
a
different
fund,
that's
an
enterprise
fund
and
also
there's
federal
funds
involved
there
cetera,
but
that
still
leaves
170
million
dollars
in
maintenance
that
we
know
we're
going
to
have
to
do
over
the
next
17
years
and
I'm.
A
You
know
we're
setting
aside
money
for
pensions
of
the
pension
liabilities,
but
we're
not
setting
aside
any
money
for
this
and
I'm
a
little
concerned
how
we're
going
to
in
future
years.
Future
or
the
next
17
years
how
we're
going
to
address
this
because
dr.
Reddy
I
mean
we
have
a
lot
of
maintenance,
it
needs
to
be
done
and
we're
not
really
planning
for
all
of
that.
Much
are
we.
J
Yes,
so
some
air
of
counsel,
this,
that's
obviously
an
ongoing
question
and
concern,
though
there
may
be
the
best
model
that
I've
seen
and
if
the
time
may
have
come,
that
councilman
considered.
Is
it
that
every
year
there's
a
certain
amount
and
capital
earmark
for
building
maintenance?
You
know
you
have
a
pot
of
money
for
your
capital
and
you
specify
a
certain
amount
for
that
for
maintenance,
and
then
you
prioritize,
based
on
that.
J
A
Really
like
to
ask
the
subcommittee's
they're
putting
working
with
the
budget,
no,
no,
the
hole
count
went
before
it
comes,
though
council
to
please
look
at
this
long
term.
Maintenance
I
mean
look
at
the
building,
we're
in
right.
Now
this
building
I
mean
it's
getting
real.
The
Ragged
at
the
cuff,
I
mean
the
front.
You
know,
there's
rust,
running
down
the
front
of
the
building
in
and
it's
just
not
and
get
something.
A
A
Unfortunately,
council
members,
you
know,
are
only
here
for
a
few
years.
They
really
want
to
do
things
that
really
look
good
this
year,
and
this
is
not
very
glamorous,
but
it's
sort
of
like
your
own
home.
If
you
don't
keep
up
the
painting
and
you
don't
keep
up
the
maintenance.
Eventually,
it
catches
up
with
you.
That's
where
Milton.
H
H
H
Is
the
recession
this
year?
Will
it
be
next
year?
Will
it
be
the
year
after
we
don't
know,
but
there
is
a
recession
coming
and,
unfortunately,
an
awful
lot
of
that
sales
tax
increase
revenue
is
discretionary
purchases
that
individuals
make
and
so
I
think
a
budget
quite
a
priority
for
us.
As
we
look
at
fiscal
year,
1920
still
has
to
be
ensuring
that
we
are
putting
sufficient
money
aside
during
good
years
to
get
us
through
the
difficult
years
that
we
can
predict
will
come
Oh.
D
Mm-Hmm
I'm,
sorry,
this
is
a
buzzkill,
so
dr.
Reddy
I,
look
you
square
in
the
eye,
sir
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
and
once
again
and
I
am
as
we
go
through
this
list
when
we
back
we
backed
and
in
one
of
those
screens
back
10
years
in
this
consistent
increase
and
I
lay
a
lot
of
that
at
your
feet
and,
of
course,
your
snaps
feet.
D
D
We've
done
some
things,
they've
been
very
controversial,
but
we're
on
the
right
track
right
now
and
when,
when
we
can
sit
here
and
talk
about
all
the
the
ancient
maintenance
and
the
long-term
problems
and
and
the
the
you
know,
the
pers
issues
that
we're
now
trying
to
clean
up
that
have
been
dragging
around
for
years.
Those
are
happy
problems
funny
enough
when
we
consider
how
fortunate
we
are
to
be
in
the
position.
D
J
You
councilman
it
was,
it
was
a
great
team
effort
by
a
lot
of
people
over
a
lot
of
years
and
I.
Would
you
make
one
observation?
What
what
was
what
what
was
apparent
is
that
everyone
was
moving
in
in
one
direction.
You
know
in
terms
of
the
downtown
the
hotel,
the
Convention
Center
the
airport
and
they
all
had
a
commonalities
of
moving
from
one
level
to
another,
and
it's
all
started
to
come
together,
and
so
it's
it's
obviously
the
council's
policies.
J
You
know
all
the
staffs
efforts
and,
as
importantly,
what
we're
finding
is
that
our
stakeholders,
our
stakeholders,
time
and
time,
step
to
the
plate
supporting
tax
increases,
giving
assistance
in
all
these
other
areas
and
then
once
we
put
the
polishes
out
there,
then
they
took
them
and
utilize
them
and
it
manifested
into
what
we
have
today.
So
it's
been.
It's
been
a
great
case
study
actually.
A
Any
of
the
comments
inside
of
them.
Okay,
then,
we'll
go
to
the
last
item
on
the
agenda,
which
is
item
II
award
of
a
construction
contract
to
metro
video,
Systems
Inc
in
the
amount
of
three
ninety
nine
to
forty
three
hundred
nine
thousand
two
hundred
forty
dollars
for
the
keyless
entry
system
phase,
one
City,
Hall,
Police,
Department
and
city
yard,
slash
fleet
buildings,
CP
14-2,
three
staff
report.
Please.
R
Mayor,
thank
you.
Your
comments
regarding
maintenance
of
buildings
and
facilities
is
key
to
this
item.
This
is
one
that
was
identified
as
a
staff
recommendation
for
the
projects
to
be
funded
and
I
realized.
We
still
owe
the
council
additional
information
on
the
range
of
capital
projects
and
priorities
for
your
consideration.
The
challenge
there
is
that
that
list
is
an
unending
list
and
it
depends
on
who
you
talk
to
what
those
priorities
are.
So
this
one.
R
We
recommend
you
move
forward
with
only
because
the
the
bid
will
go
stale
and
you'll
either
have
to
consider
awarding
it
tonight
or
otherwise
we'll
return
and
have
you
reject
the
bids
because
we'll
have
to
rebid
or
just
table
the
item.
We
recommend
that
you
move
forward
because
the
security
system
we
have
here
at
City
Hall
is
really
no
longer
supported
by
the
vendor,
and
so
we'll
have
a
challenge
to
the
extent
that
the
software
fails
and
then
we
have
problems
with
you
know:
securing
City
Hall.
A
A
Motion
passes
five
to
zero.
Thank
you.
Next
item
is
our
second
public
comments.
Public
comment
on
non-agenda
items.
This
time
has
been
set
aside
from
members
of
the
public
to
address
the
City
Council
on
items
of
general
interest
from
that
within
the
subject
matter:
jurisdiction
of
the
city,
although
the
City
Council
values,
your
comments
pursuant
to
the
brown
acted
generally,
cannot
take
any
action
on
items
not
listed
on
the
posted
agenda.
Two
minutes
will
be
allowed
for
each
speaker.
O
My
name
is
Daryl
Tyrell
for
Moreno
Valley.
Tonight.
I
would
like
to
share
with
you
another
idea
that
will
not
only
save
your
city
money,
but
patrol
calls
and
deliver
better
results
to
your
residents.
I
would
like
for
you
to
counsel
and
doctor
ready
to
consider
investing
in
Guf
stat,
based
on
the
city
of
Baltimore,
City
stat,
a
drill,
a
data-driven
management
system
designed
to
monitor
and
improve
the
performance
of
city
departments
in
real
time.
O
The
goal
would
be
to
use
information
technology
to
improve
service
delivery
in
every
city
department,
more
than
just
a
management
system
gusts
that
will
be
an
accountability
tool
that
ensures
that
the
failure
is
in
service
deliveries
are
a
knowledge
and
amended
in
a
timely
fashion.
Every
two
weeks,
the
mayor,
a
city
council
number
doctor,
ready
the
the
director
of
the
Guf
stat
and
key
executive
team
members,
would
meet
with
selected
department
heads
to
review
the
most
recent
department
data
department.
O
Heads
would
answer
questions
about
the
data
and
says
what
it
says
and
if
there
is
any
problem,
what
is
being
done
to
fix
it
immediately?
Well,
I
guess
that
would
be
a
useful
tool
for
tracking
the
state
of
the
city.
It
is
the
most
valuable
performance
management
tool,
cities
that
use
gov.
Stat
reports
have
produced
dramatic
improvements
and
city
services
and
efficiency.
O
According
to
the
Kennedy
School
of
Government,
the
financial
effectiveness
of
the
city
of
bottom
Baltimore's
arm,
City
staff
has
been
estimated
as
a
total
of
arrogant
savings
of
a
hundred
million
dollars
for
its
four
years
of
existence.
When
I'm
saying
this,
this
program
does
work
and
I.
Think
if
you
do
it
on
a
pilot
basis
with
a
department,
you'll
see
you'll
have
a
greater
savings.
Thank
you.
N
Good
evening,
mayor
and
council,
so
the
first
thing
I
have
to
say:
I
attended
a
memorial
service
for
Jacob
Montgomery
and
it's
it
was
absolutely
inexcusable
that
not
one
of
the
four
of
you
were
there.
Mr.
Reddy,
you
know
one
from
the
city.
Mr.
mayor
you're
excused
you
were
very
ill.
The
night
before
you
could
barely
speak.
N
N
N
What
happened
to
me
and
my
family,
sir?
No
different
from
the
Joe
pond
family
approaching
three
million
dollars
could
be
four
could
be
three
2.75
who
knows
who
cares
not
in
this
town
thank
God,
Pat
Cooper
was
here
tonight
he's
able
to
catch
up
with
her
had
to
go
to
Manny
Perez's
office
to
correct
all
the
fraud
and
the
garbage
committed
on
the
court
by
sergeant
Matt
beard,
so
the
other
DA's
office
turned
upside
down.
That's
what
LGBT
has
done
to
the
DA's
office?
Okay,
it's
a
disgrace.
Mr.
Coors
miss
Halstead,
that's
it!
N
N
J
I
A
Q
J
It's
a
variant
city
static,
upstairs
it's
a
broad
range
of
looking
at
data
consistently
continually
and
always
adjusting
your
service
delivery
to
it.
So
it's
a
it's
a
it's
a
whole
culture
thing,
and
so
there's
we
have
yes.
So
the
short
answer
is
yes,
but
to
the
extent
that
you
can
do
it
in
a
in
a
government
of
this
size,
so.
J
H
Like
do
you
have
that
I?
Don't
have
it
here
with
me,
but
what
was
impressive
with
the
group
that
asks
you
meet
with
me,
as
it
included
individuals
from
the
equestrian
community
from
the
hiking
community
from
the
bicycling
mountain
bicycling
communities,
all
of
them
coming
together
who,
where
they
are
using
trails
and
helping
to
maintain
those
trails?
Thank
you.
Q
You,
mayor
and
I
think
that's
a
really
good
idea
and
just
make
sure
it
sounds
like
we
should
get
our
Parks
and
Rec
Department
commissioned
or
whatever
way
makes
the
most
sense
engaged
in
that
process,
since
it
deals
with
already
working
on
it.
There's
a
subcommittee
on
that
at
Parks
and
Rec.
So,
let's
make
sure
they're
engaged
in
that
process
as
well,
but
that
would
be
great.
D
Remember,
I
just
want
to
do
what
the
council
know
that
we
have
not
forgotten
about
new
benches
and
trash
cans
and
things
of
the
of
a
pretty
nature
for
our
downtown
and
dr.
Eddy
and
I
in
fact,
are
trying
to
schedule
some
time
with
joy,
brown
Meredith,
who
of
course,
heads
up
the
Main
Street
committee.
We
had
asked
her
to
come
up
with
some
ideas
with
the
downtown
first
based
on
things
that
they
might
want
to
see,
and
we
did
that
a
few
months
ago.
So
we're
gonna
push
that
a
little
bit
forward.
D
We
that's
gonna,
be
part
of
it.
I
we
pretty
much
settled
on
the
trash
can
because
it's
it's
really
effective
and
it's
working
well
and
it's
much
easier
for
staff
and
I
guess
we're
now,
actually,
honestly,
for
the
first
time
separating
recycling
and
trash
where,
in
the
past
it
never
worked.
So
the
trash
cans
are
working.
