The
healing

following

on

and
where,
as

is
much

A
Therefore,
on
behalf

the

of

California,
we

our
sincerest
appreciation
to
father
Andrew
green
for
his
public
service
to
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
and
our
community
for
over
30
years,
and
we
do
hereby
proclaim
the
7th
day
of
April
to
be
father,
Andrew,
Green
Day.
So
thank.
A
G
A
F
You
mayor,
yes,
so
in
a
little
bit
we
would
generally
do
updates
on
subcommittee
meetings,
but
because
the
plaza
theater
made
the
front
page
of
the
newspaper
with
a
very
interesting
ahead
of
mine,
I
thought
what
might
be
more
interesting
than
an
update
is
to
actually
show
you
me
speaking
with
the
press
on
this
issue.
So,
more
importantly,
you
all
know
what's
out
there
right
now
about
this
and
give
you
a
little
update
on
it.
So
with
that,
we
have
I,
think
it's
a
four
minute
presentation.
H
F
Gee,
no,
you
know
I
couldn't
be
more
excited.
You
know
we're
pretty
much
completed.
Building
our
steering
committee
and
the
steering
committee
will.
Its
primary
job,
of
course,
will
be
fundraising
and
we've
got
great
names
like
Ross
Matthews,
and
you
know
my
mom.
Some
really
wonderful
people
have
agreed
to
be
on
the
steering
committee.
So
I'm
excited
about
that.
We'll
hold
our
first
official
meeting
in
in
late
April
right
in
the
theater.
We're
gonna
use
the
theater
as
our
office
for
the
steering
committee
and
we're
gonna
get
going
on
the
fundraising.
F
H
F
You
know
the
Desert
Sun
did
a
big
article
about
it.
In
fact,
it
was
a
front
cover
article
about
the
the
plaza
theater
and
about
his
future,
and
it
suggested
that
there
was
confusion
about
what
to
do
with
the
theater
or
that
there
was
a
lack
of
consensus
and
the
truth
is
there's
no
problem
on
consensus.
Everybody
agrees,
this
theater
must
rise
again
and
it
must
be
restored
and
it
must
be
brought
back
to
what
it
once
was
most.
Apparently
we
want
to
get
it
back
open
for
the
community.
F
It's
also
it's
a
hidden
gem
I
mean
I,
don't
have
to
tell
you,
you
understand
it
and
so
how
it
will
be
used
and
who
gets
to
use
it.
That's
not
just
for
me
to
decide,
or
even
our
steering
committee,
that's
something
that
the
city
in
the
City
Council
will
decide
with
a
lot
of
input
from
the
community
as
well.
H
Come
forward
who's
that
someone's
this
long
said
that
she
would
like
to
take
over
the
theater
or
at
least
be
able
to
do
her
shows
there.
This
will
be
owned
by
the
city.
Will
the
city
decide
who's
booked
in
their
participation?
At
what
levels
has
any
difference?
I
mean?
How
is
that
gonna
work
once
we're
up
and
running?
Well.
F
Yes,
you're,
yes
to
your
question,
it
will
be
operated
by
the
city
and
it
will
be
solely
owned
by
the
city
and
right
now.
My
number
one
goal
is
to
find
the
money
and
to
get
it
restored.
We
can't
do
anything
until
we
do
that.
I'm
thrilled
that
suzanne,
somers
and
other
people
have
come
forward
and
shown
a
lot
of
interest
in
the
theater
we've
had
five
or
six
serious
people
come
come
talk
to
us,
including
Charo,
some
great
news.
F
You
know
many
people
wish
the
follies
would
come
back
or
a
new
version
of
the
follies,
so
I'm,
hoping
that
there's
room
for
all
that
we're
a
big
tent
as
it
were,
and
I
think
as
a
theater.
We
can
provide
a
venue
for
the
community
in
general.
Suzanne
Somers
can
definitely
be
a
part
of
it.
She
actually
offered
to
come
up
with
a
million
dollars
to
take
control
of
the
theater
that
would
still
leave
somewhere
around
11.
F
To
go
fine
right
and
so
that
that's
a
bit
of
a
problem
but
I
think
there's
room
for
everybody
and
I
think
we'll
have
all
types
of
shows.
The
theater
can
do
a
lot
and
I
think
a
lot
of
live
performances
can
happen
there.
So
right
now
the
focus
is
raising
the
money,
restoring
it
and
getting
open.
Then,
as
a
community
and
as
a
steering
committee.
Ultimately
we'll
make
recommendations
to
the
City
Council
about
how
it
should
be
right.
H
F
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
raise
half
of
it
in
the
next
year
or
so
so
it'll
probably
take
a
year
or
two
unless
we
get
some
very
large
donors
that
come
forward
and
I've
seen
it
happen
before
and
other
fundraising
efforts
that
I've
been
involved
with.
Maybe
if
we
get
some
angels
it'll
go
faster,
but
it's
probably
going
to
take
a
few
years
to
raise
all
that
money.
The
good
news
is,
since
the
city
owns
it
and
the
city
has
financial
resources
to
loan
against
it.
H
F
So,
thank
you.
I
know
that
was
a
bit
long
but
I.
The
reason
I
wanted
you
to
see
that
is
again
to
understand.
What's
kind
of
what's
out
there,
what
the
paper
generated
a
little
bit
of
confusion,
I'm
pushing
back
a
little
bit
on
that
and
neutralizing
it
because,
ultimately
again
we're
not
making
any
decisions
on
its
use
at
all
simply
about
trying
to
find
money
to
fix
it
so
I!
F
A
Definitely
agenda
is
it
because
they
would
actually
allow
members
of
the
public
to
come
and
make
comments
during
public
comment
and
also
allow
us
to
talk
about
some
of
the
options,
because
I
think
you
and
I
both
know
some
options
for
the
use
of
this.
That
we'd
really
like
to
kick
around
here
with
the
full
council
yeah.
F
And
definitely
and
I
think
that's
a
long
conversation.
The
bottom
line
is
again
and
I
and
I'll
say
this
a
hundred
times.
The
use
is
not
as
important
to
me
right
now.
It's
really
about
finding
money
without
without
the
money
and
without
a
restored
theatre.
We
got
nothing
to
talk
about.
So
thank
you,
doctor.
A
Any
way
else,
okay,
that
completes
our
presentations.
Next
item
is
acceptance.
The
agenda,
the
City
Council
at
this
time,
we'll
discuss
the
order
of
the
agenda,
may
amend
the
order,
adder
to
see
items,
note,
abstentions
or
no
votes
and
consent,
calendar
items
and
request
consent,
calendar
items
be
removed
for
discussion.
I
would
like
to
entertain
a
motion
for
acceptance.
The
agenda
are
there
any
items?
Any
councilmen
would
like
from
the
consent
calendar
for
a
separate
discussion,
and/or
vote,
mayor
pro-tem
course,
Thank.
E
A
D
J
Thank
You
mayor
moon
and
council
of
the
three
items
on
the
existing
litigation
I'm
happy
to
report
that
the
litigation
counsel
in
the
Lee
matter
versus
Palm
Springs
was
able
to
obtain
a
dismissal
and
dismissal
without
prejudice
provided
with
prejudice,
provided
that
we
would
waive
the
the
de
minimis
legal
fees
and
you
approved
that
in
closed
session,
that
we
accept
the
dismissal
and
not
seek
de
minimis
legal
fees.
Okay,
Thank
You,
mr.
king,
nothing.
A
Else
next
item
public
testimony.
This
time
has
been
set
aside
for
members
of
the
public
to
address
the
City
Council.
Only
on
non
public
hearing
agenda
items,
two
minutes
will
be
assigned
to
each
speaker
and
you
requested
to
begin
your
time
by
telling
us
wattage
into
item
or
items
you're
speaking
about
to
remind
testimony
for
public
hearings
will
only
be
taken
at
the
time
of
the
public
hearing
in
general,
comic
and
general
public
comments
for
subjects
not
on
tonight's
agenda
will
be
taken
later
in
the
meeting.
A
D
You
know
come
up
and
thank
you
guys.
We've
worked
with
the
Subcommittee
on
the
14th
and
15th
fairways
of
the
Crosley
mountain
shadows
area
of
the
golf
course
and
I
just
want
to
thank
the
subcommittee
again.
Marcus
fuller.
We
worked
with
the
landscape
architect
and
drafting
the
alternative
or
compromise
plan,
and
it
is
a
compromise.
I
mean
you
know,
I'm
sure,
there's
folks
from
both
sides
that
would
like
to
see
changes.
But
again
it's
a
compromise.
We're
happy
with
it.
I
look
forward
to
seeing
it
happen.
D
Obviously
it's
getting
warmer
now,
so
we
need
to
get
a
plan
as
soon
otherwise
it's
going
to
be
the
end
of
the
year.
So
we
don't
want
to
see
the
money
go
away
either
as
part
of
that
the
remaining
trees
on
the
golf
course
originally,
we
started
out
with
with
the
original
plan
was
duplicating
what
was
the
long
mountain
shadows,
pine
trees
and
every
quarter
now
the
Golf
Course
is
removing
two
or
three
pine
trees.
A
quarter
as
the
pine
trees
are
dying
off.
D
That's
one
of
the
reasons
we
didn't
want
pine
trees,
but
we
still
need
to
work
with
the
golf
course
and
and
city
staff
to
start
replacing
those
other
trees
and
again,
you
know
we
know,
there's
money
left
from
the
insurance
settlement
for
tree
replacement.
We
just
want
to
see
some
of
they
get
purpose
for
the
rest
of
the
trees.
So
that's
pretty
much
all
I've
got.
We
look
forward
to
seeing
this
done
and
getting
a
planet.
D
A
You,
mr.
Horan,
okay,
send
you
any
more
speakers.
It's
seeing
none.
We
will
close
the
first
section
of
public
comments.
Next
item
is
City,
Council
subcommittee
and
city
manager's,
comment
and
reports.
This
time
has
been
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
and
I
believe
the
city
manager
has
a
few
items
for
us.
I
do.
G
K
K
When
out
of
every
10
drivers
are
texting
while
driving
83%
of
surveyed
drivers
believe
using
a
cell
phone
while
driving
is
a
dangerous,
is
as
dangerous
as
drinking
while
driving
adults
25
to
39
years
old
are
more
likely
to
drive
and
Texa
cated
adults
who
receive
more
than
50
text
messages
per
day
are
more
likely
to
drive
and
text.
Gated
46
percent
of
drivers
use
their
smart
phone
for
navigation
searching
for
music,
believing
people
expect
quick
responses
and
also
believing
they
are
more
productive.
K
K
Go
that's
a
display
that
was
up
in
front
of
our
City
Hall
a
couple
days
ago
or
triple
a
stage
two
cars.
Obviously
some
significant
front-end
damage.
You
can't
tell
much
of
a
difference
between
the
two.
Obviously,
the
damage
itself
looks
pretty
significant,
however,
once
from
a
DUI
crash
and
once
from
a
texting
crash,
so
our
intent
in
partnership
with
triple
A's
to
bring
attention
that
distracted
driving
is
just
as
impactful
as
driving
under
the
influence.
K
Injuries
are
similar
because
of
the
collisions
evolved
up
to
including
death.
So
for
the
month
of
April,
we
will
be
stepping
up
our
education
of
people
that
we
stopped
as
well
as
enforcement
and
in
the
hopes
that
this
message
is
force
multiplied
when
we
bring
this
attention
of
distracted
driving
to
the
level
that
the
DUI
it
gets
throughout
the
country.
At
the
concludes,
my
report.
G
Thank
You
chief,
if
a
very
important
message
so
appreciate
you
about
taking
leadership
on
that
chief.
A
second
another
very
important
issue
to
the
city
is,
as
you
know,
the
ban
on
Elektra
on
gas-powered
leaf
blowers.
We
had
electric
leaf
board
workshop
this
week.
It
was
actually
very
successful
I'm
going
to
ask
our
sustainability
manager
Patrick
Talarico,
to
come
forward,
and
he
has
a
brief
presentation.
L
We
had
over
200
people
by
our
estimates
that
came
out
and,
most
importantly,
we
hit
the
target
population
that
we
were
looking
for,
which
was
those
small
one
and
two-person
shops
out
there,
and
even
though
several
people
said
that
they
got
letters
in
the
mail
that
we
had
sent
out
and
got
fliers
on
their
trucks,
which
we
went
out
and
put
on
there
about
70%
of
the
people
that
we
talked
to
said
that
they
heard
about
it
through
the
Spanish
radio
spot
that
we
did
so.
A
majority
of
the
people
that
came
up
were
spanish-speaking.
L
We
were
very
grateful
for
Jackie
Linares
and
Felipe
primeira,
who
are
on
staff,
who
served
as
our
translators
on
site
that
day,
who
are
a
big
help
to
us
in
reaching
out
to
folks
and
talking
to
them.
While
they
were
there,
dan,
DeGarmo
and
I
were
were
staffing.
The
booth
that
day,
we
didn't
get
a
ton
of
folks
that
signed
up
with
us.
L
There
was
a
lot
of
reluctance
to
put
their
names
down,
but
we
did
have
lots
of
people
that
pass
through
and
I
was
really
surprised
about
the
amount
of
time
that
they
spent
there.
So
they
really
took
the
opportunity
to
test
out
the
various
equipment
that
was
there
visit
with
the
different
vendors
and
really
tried
to
figure
out
what
was
best
for
them.
The
only
other
thing
I
would
report
is
that
we
had
a
huge
success
story.
L
At
the
the
day
of
the
event,
we
had
a
guy
who
came
in
who
was
incredibly
resistant
and
wouldn't
even
really
talk
to
us
about
the
blower's
and
the
and
the
changes
by
the
time
that
he
got
around
to
the
end
vendor.
He
came
back
to
us
and
she
said:
I
found
this
great
piece
of
equipment.
It's
gonna
work
for
me
and
it's
gonna
be
great
and
so
anyway.
L
So
that
was
the
kind
of
thing
that
we
were
seeing
that
day
and
since
then,
I've
gotten
about
four
or
five
complaint
calls
and
I've,
followed
up
with
the
people
that
they
were
complaining
about.
Two
of
them
were
at
the
event
and
actually
purchased
equipment
afterwards,
and
one
of
them
said
that
he
was
sorry
to
miss
the
event
but
was
going
out
that
day
to
get
his
and
so
we've
gotten
a
lot
of
good
feedback
to
date
in
terms
of
our
our
engine
efforts,
so
Thank.
G
Also
now
we're
almost
finished,
but
I
do
want
to
recognize.
You
know
there
was
the
senior
inspiration
Awards
this
past
weekend
and
I
I
want
Dianne
Ross,
who
is
a
very
dear
community
member.
She
received
the
senior
inspiration
award
and
I
just
wanted
to
give
her
a
shout
out.
Obviously
there
she
is,
it
was
last
Friday
and
at
least
I
believe
you
presented
the
award
to
her,
and
so
we
just
wanted
to
recognize.
Dianne
Ross
who's
been
an
amazing
volunteer
and
member
of
our
community.
G
And
finally,
if.
A
I
can
adjure
Oh,
mayor,
pro-tem
and
I
really
appreciate
Lisa
doing
this.
It
was
a
very
important
event.
We
were
both
hated,
we
couldn't
be
there,
but
but
the
mayor,
pro-tem
and
I
were
both
modeling
on
the
runway
that
day
at
that
time,
for
the
annual
Women's
Club
scholarship,
luncheon
and
fundraiser
for
scholarships
for
Palm
Springs
youths,
particularly
young
women
and
duty
calls.
So
thank
you,
Lisa
for
covering
for
us.
G
Finally,
I
would
just
like
to
just
note
that,
as
we
know,
your
we
are
well
into
the
budget
process
and
as
part
of
that,
our
applications
that
we
request
for
grants
and
sponsorships
from
from
the
community
members
and
that's
the
wrong
one.
Okay,
well,
we're
gonna.
Do
it
this
way?
Well,
regardless,
what
I
wanted
to
say
is
the
deadline
for
accepting
those
applications
is
Monday
April,
the
8th,
Monday
April,
the
8th,
and
they
just
wanted
to
make
sure
the
community
was
aware
of
that
and
will
be
then
bringing
them
forward
to
you
for
consideration.
I
Thank
You
mayor,
so
one
question
comment
on
the
leaf
blowers,
since
we
went
to
the
next
thing,
which
is
we're
also
have
and
their
grant
programs
I
just
want
to
remind
everyone
that
are
available
through
the
Air
Quality
Management
District,
but
we're
also
doing
grants
for
homeowners
right
who
do
their
own
landscaping,
and
so
how
do
people
find
information
out
about
that?
Can
you
share
that
as
well,
so.
L
All
the
grand
information
is
available
on
our
website
ps,
leaf
blowers,
comm,
the
application
form
is
on
there
and
just
a
new
thing
that
we're
asking
people
for
is
a
w-9
form
when
they
do
fill
those
out,
because
we
have
to
just
track
how
much
money
we
give
out
to
individuals
so
anyway,
all
of
those
forms
are
available
online.
In
both
english
and
spanish
we've
had
a
handful
of
people
respond
on
the
residential
side.
Lots
of
people
on
the
outside
are
taking
part
in
the
in
the
state
program.
Terrific.
I
Thank
you
sure.
Just
have
a
few
things
on
Friday
I
attended
along
with
councilmembers
holstege
in
Middleton,
the
League
of
Cities
policy
committees.
Each
of
us
is
on
different
policy
committees,
there's
one
overlap
and
just
really
briefly,
there's
some
information
which
will
get
to
the
city
manager,
which
he
can
share.
I.
Think
in
the
there's,
a
lot
of
talk
about
the
budget
and
pension
issues
that
was
very
helpful
and
the
government,
transparency
and
labor
policy
committee,
which
I
serve
on
with
councilmember
holstege.
I
The
too
many
things
that
I
wanted
to
share
just
with
the
rest
of
Council
is
there?
Is
legislation
moving
forward
to
try
and
address
all
the
confusion
around
social
media
and
the
Brown
Act
and
what
it
means
if
you
like,
opposed
versus
if
you're
deliberating
that
is
moving
forward
and
as
we
have
that
draft
moves
forward,
I'll
probably
get
to
bring
council,
so
we
can
give
any
ideas
we
have
on
that
and
the
other
which
the
ad
hoc
Budget
Committee
Mitch
met.
I
Yesterday,
council,
member
Middleton
and
I
were
on
and
I
shared
with
city
staff,
that
a
lot
of
cities
are
really
looking
at
how
they
could
supplement
what
is
being
done
by
the
federal
government.
So
we
get
the
most
accurate
count
possible
in
the
census
and
the
city
managers
already
working
on
some
really
good
ideas
on
how
we
can,
as
a
city,
make
sure
we
get
the
most
accurate
count.
We
can
obviously
grant
funding
from
the
government
and
all
kinds
of
things
are
tied
to
it.
We
want
to
make
sure
we
count
everyone
in
that.
I
The
mayor
and
I
had
a
meeting
of
the
ad
hoc
subcommittee
on
the
convention
center
contract.
We
just
met
with
a
lot
of
the
small
hotels
and
retail
and
restaurant
stakeholders
to
get
their
input
and
recommended
to
the
city
manager
that
we
do
a
study
session
with
the
rest
of
Council,
so
we
really
can
get
the
community
and
stakeholders
input
and
the
whole
council
can
hear
what
we've
heard
and
give
people
that
opportunity.
I
Those
were
very
productive
meeting
the
city
manager
and
our
procurement
office
director
were
there
and
then
yesterday,
councilmember,
Middleton
and
I
were
at
the
Palm
Springs
police
police
department
did
an
LGBT
outreach
meeting
at
Mizell,
which
was
packed
was
a
really
great
turnout.
I
think
the
respect
and
trust
that
has
been
gained
and
now
is
very
solid,
where
our
Police
Department
in
the
community
really
came
clear.
The
chief
and
captain
Demerara
and
everyone
on
the
working
committee
and
in
the
department
did
really
an
exceptional
job.
I
E
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
just
want
to
add
quickly
to
what
mayor
pro-tem
course
said
regarding
last
evening's
event,
at
Mizell
with
the
LGBT
outreach.
One
of
the
things
that
came
up
is
that
statewide.
We
are
now
starting
to
see
in
response
to
state
legislation,
police
departments,
implementing
programs
very
similar
to
what
we
had
already
done
voluntarily
here
in
Palm
Springs.
E
The
timeframe
for
implementing
those
programs
in
such
a
way
as
to
restrict
funding
for
transportation
projects,
a
big
shout-out
to
our
city
and
to
Palm
Springs
pride.
This
past
Monday,
we
hosted
the
first
Cesar
Chavez
breakfast
in
the
city
of
Palm
Springs.
It
was
an
extremely
well
attended
event
and
a
very
moving
event,
not
only
hearing
from
supervisor
Perez
in
terms
of
the
coming
together
of
disadvantaged
communities
on
the
east
side
of
the
Coachella
Valley
with
Palm
Springs,
but
also
our
Insurance
Commissioner
Ricardo
Lara,
the
son
of
an
illegal
of
illegal
immigrants.
E
M
You
mr.
mayor
so
I
also
attended
the
League
of
California
cities,
policy
committees,
councilmember,
mayor
pro-tem,
core
has
already
reported
on
one
I'm,
also
on
the
housing
community
and
economic
development
policy
committee.
So
we
looked
at
a
number
of
bills
and
what
I'll
do
is
I'll
attach
the
agenda
to
the
next
council
meeting.
So
it's
available
to
the
public.
M
We
looked
at
some
really
important
housing
bills
that
are
coming
down
from
the
state
and
we
talked
about
the
state's
mandates,
really
that
are
coming
down
about
density
and
zoning
and
some
things
that
we've
already
done
like
accessory
dwelling
units.
So
it's
important
I
think
Palm.
Springs
is
a
leader
on
that
committee
and
I'm
happy
to
represent
us
there,
some
of
the
important
bills.
We
talked
about
a
b53
which
is
a
band,
the
box
type
of
measure
for
rental
housing,
so
to
prevent
information
or
requests
about
criminal
background
checks.
Just
on
the
first
application.
M
People
can
do
background
checks
later,
but
just
to
not
automatically
exclude
people,
because
so
many
people
who
are
exiting
prison
or
jails
are
then
becoming
homeless
because
they
can't
get
housing.
We
also
talked
about
SB
18,
which
would
actually
create
homeless
prevention
and
a
legal
aid
fund
for
cities
and
counties
to
help
tenants
facing
eviction,
which
is
a
huge
need
in
the
Coachella
Valley
other
tenant
protections,
and
we
talked
about
SB
329,
which
prevents
discrimination
and
housing
based
on
source
of
income.
M
So
this
would
prevent
landlords
from
refusing
to
rent
for
people
with
housing
vouchers,
which
is
also
a
huge
problem
in
our
community,
because
we
know
there
are
dozens
of
people,
if
not
more,
who
have
a
housing
voucher
but
can't
actually
get
a
landlord
to
take
their
voucher
to
house
them.
So
those
were
important
bills.
M
Now
it's
a
full-time
job
going
to
all
of
these
meetings,
but
they're
really
important
to
hear
about
what
people
are
talking
about
in
all
of
the
areas
of
our
city,
so
I
find
them
really
rewarding.
And
lastly,
I
attended
Los
Angeles
City
Hall
I
went
to
councilmember
nori
Martinez,
hosted
a
conversation
with
the
first
partner
Jennifer
siebold
Newsome
to
end
out
and
close
out
Women's
History
Month,
so
she
invited
students
from
La,
mostly
young
women
there
to
hear
from
councilmember
Nury
Martinez.
M
A
You
anyone
else.
Okay,
next
item
is
the
consent.
Calendar
I
will
entertain
a
motion
to
accept
the
consent
calendar
without
item

and
also
council
middle
council.
Member
Middleton
is
recusing
from
item

We
have
a

to
approve.
May
my
Council
Mayor
Pro
Tem
chorus

of
my

Roberts

Mayor,
Pro
Tem
course.
Thank.
I
You
mayor
just
one
question:
I
see
that
there
are
some
conditions
about
insulation
in
the
walls
to
prevent,
can
of
soda
or
escaping
that
came
with
this.
Is
there
a
condition
or
is
there
anything
we
need
to
do
just
that?
There
won't
be
an
occupancy
permit
until
the
expert
outside
consultant
approves
the
odor
control
plan.
Actually.
N
There
is
nothing
that
the
City
Council
needs
to
do
at
this
point
in
time
as
part
of
the
conditional
use
permit
that
the
Planning
Commission
considered
and
approved
the
applicant
had
a
copy
of
their
odor
control
plan,
which
was
reviewed
by
our
consultant,
and
it
was
approved
with
recommendations.
The
Planning
Commission
incorporated
those
recommendations
as
part
of
the
conditional
use
permit
terrific.
Thank
you.
A
N
Poor
please,
mr.
mayor
and
members
of
council,
the
item
before
you
is
a
request
for
class
1
designation
for
the
residents
at
417
Hermosa.
The
kirshner
residents
are
also
known
as
Casa
Adair.
The
residence
was
designed
by
the
firm
of
Brewster
and
Benedict
and
was
constructed
in
1937.
It
was
named
after
the
daughter
of
Walter
and
Dorothea
Kirchner,
and
so
it
carries
the
name
of
Casa
Adair
to
this
day
in
terms
of
the
residents
itself,
it
has
been
modified
somewhat.
You
can
see
in
the
plan
to
the
left.
N
The
area
shown
in
brown
is
a
number
of
additions
that
were
done
in
1985.
However,
the
original
portion
of
the
residence
remains
largely
intact
and
largely
as
it
was
when
constructed,
and
so
overall
it
was
found
to
still
maintain
its
integrity
in
terms
of
the
architectural
design
of
the
residence.
You
have
some
photos
there
of
the
residence
not
long
after
it
was
constructed
on
the
top
in
black
and
white
and
then
pictures
of
the
residents
today
in
terms
of
its
qualifications
for
class
1
designation.
N
In
considering
this
application,
the
Historic
Site
Preservation
Board
found
that
it
met
criterion.
Number
3
criterion
number
4
and
criterion
number
5
relative
to
our
standards
and
then
also
found
that
it
still
retains
a
high
degree
of
integrity,
despite
the
fact
that
there
have
been
additions
to
the
structure.
So
with
that
the
historic
site
Preservation
Board
has
recommended
approval
of
this
class
1
designation.
We
would
also
support
that
recommendation.
I
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
and
we
have
a
couple
of
representatives
who
are
here
able
to
speak
about
the
residency.
A
Thank
you.
Do
we
have
questions
of
staff
before
we
open
the
public
hearing,
it
seemed
done.
We
will
open
the
public
hearing.
The
applicant
has
up
to
five
minutes
to
present
their
case
and,
if
requested,
will
have
a
two
minutes
available
at
the
end
for
rebuttal,
members
of
the
public
are
invited
to
speak
on
this
public
hearing
item
for
up
to
two
minutes
as
the
applicant
here:
okay,
yep,
Steven,
Kalin.
O
Good
evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Steven
keelon
I'm,
vice
president
of
the
Palm
Springs
Preservation
Foundation
and
I
authored
the
class
1
nomination
for
Casa
dare
I'm
here
on
the
request
of
Susie
and
Steven
Nam,
sorry,
Nancy
and
Steven
Cooper
the
owners.
They
live
in
New
York
and
couldn't
be
here
tonight,
but
they
wanted
to
let
you
know
they
enthusiastically
support
this
class.
One
nomination,
the
the
house
is
a
spectacular
Spanish
colonial
estate
and
old
Las
Palmas
on
a
really
large
lot.
O
Brewster
and
Benedict
are
really
quality
architects,
Cornell
trained
in
the
case
of
Floyd
Brewster,
really
not
really
well-known,
but
for
about
three
years
in
Palm
Springs.
They
did
a
lot
of
really
high
quality
work
from
Spanish
colonial
Monterey
to
streamline
Moderne
in
the
case
of
the
cork
and
bottle
so
with
that
I'd.
You
know,
if
you
have
any
questions,
I'm
happy
to
answer
them.
F
O
A
D
A
A
N
N
What's
unusual
about
this
conditional
use
permit,
is
it
had
an
expiration
date
on
it,
which
is
not
typically
the
case
for
conditional
use
permits,
and
so
for
that
reason
they
had
to
submit
an
application
to
reestablish
their
conditional
use
permit,
and
so
that
is
what
is
before
you
this
evening
in
terms
of
the
facility
itself,
they
are
in
the
process
of
constructing
a
parking
lot.
Expansion
on
the
property,
that's
immediately
to
the
east
of
the
lodge
building,
and
so
that
parking
lot
will
bring
them
into
conformance
with
code
requirements
relative
to
parking.
N
The
use
is
consistent
with
both
the
zone
and
the
general
plan,
and
for
those
reasons,
the
Planning
Commission
has
recommended
approval
of
the
item,
as
does
staff
in
terms
of
the
use
itself.
It's
a
little
bit
unusual
in
our
zoning
code,
fraternal
organizations
or
philanthropic
organizations
have
to
come
to
the
City
Council
for
approval
of
the
conditional
use
permit,
and
so
that's
the
reason
why
the
item
is
here
before
you
this
evening.
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
I.
Don't
believe
that
mr.
N
F
F
A
J
Yeah
good
evening,
council
members,
the
sons
of
Italy
is
a
501
C
3
non-profit
organization.
It
was
founded,
1906,
there's
over
350,000
members,
members
like
Robert,
De,
Niro
al.
You
know
Lady
Gaga,
you
Bradley
Cooper.
So
what
our
thing
is
through
or
locally
we'll
give
out
scholarships
here,
and
we
also
support
the
Barbara
Sinatra
Children's
Foundation.
Then
in
June
there's
like
50
clubs
in
California,
we
go
up
to
the
Bay
Area
and
we
donate
to
cancer,
Alzheimer's
and
heart
disease.
So
we're
and
that's
what
we
do.
J
Basically,
we
do
have
we're
only
opened
up
31
days
out
of
the
year,
and
so
we
were
here
to
assimilate
our
culture.
As
we
know,
1492
Columbus
found
in
America
15:06
John
Cabot,
which
was
Giovanni
Kibaki
landed
in
Massachusetts
in
the
best
one
1499
America
Vespucci,
which
is
our
countries
named
after
America,
was
the
male
version
and
America
is
the
female
version.
So
for
you,
people
that
don't
know
this
was
mapmaking
founded
by
Amerigo
Vespucci.
J
A
A
N
Mayor
and
members
of
council,
as
you
are
aware,
a
moratorium
on
certain
cannabis
uses
within
the
desert,
Highlands
gateway
and
portions
of
the
DeMuth
park.
Neighborhood
was
adopted
back
on
February,
the
20th
for
a
45-day
period.
In
accordance
with
state
law,
we
submitted
a
report
to
you
on
March,
the
20th
prior
to
the
expiration
of
the
moratorium
and
under
that
45-day
period
that
expires
on
April
the
six.
So
it's
important
that
we
bring
this
item
back
to
you
to
extend
that
moratorium
in
accordance
with
state
law.
N
We
are
requesting
to
extend
the
moratorium
for
a
period
of
10
months
and
15
days,
while
we
anticipate
that
our
process
in
terms
of
reviewing
and
approving
a
new
ordinance
to
address
the
concerns
relative
to
the
moratorium,
can
be
accomplished
prior
to
that
10
month
time
frame.
What
we
would
like
to
do
is
to
extend
it
for
that
full
time
frame
so
that
we
don't
have
to
come
back
to
you
multiple
times
to
extend
the
moratorium.
N
One
of
the
things
actually
two
issues
that
I
need
to
point
out
to
you
number
one.
We
have
made
a
modification
to
the
moratorium
relative
to
the
covered
uses.
After
consulting
with
our
subcommittee
and
our
odor
control
consultant,
we
are
exempting
the
dispensary
use
and
the
transportation
distribution
use
from
this
moratorium
in
those
areas,
as
those
uses
have
little
odor
impacts,
and
so
that's
one
of
the
changes
with
the
extension
of
the
moratorium.
The
second
is
an
error
on
my
part.
N
I
was
aware
that
there
had
been
an
interest
in
the
moratorium
in
the
DeMuth
Park
area
to
extend
it
up
to
Ramon
Road
I
thought
we
had
done
that
verbally
at
the
meeting
on
February
one
youth,
but
in
going
back
and
reviewing
the
video
I
discovered
that
we
had
not
done
that.
So
in
consultation
with
the
city
attorney,
we
have
to
keep
the
boundaries
in
the
demuth
park,
neighborhood
as
they
were
originally
established
on
February
the
20th.
N
If
we
want
to
extend
that
up
to
East
Ramon
Road,
what
we
would
need
to
do
is
come
back
to
you
with
a
second
moratorium
that
would
only
cover
that
area
at
your
next
city
council
meeting,
and
so
we
would
look
for
your
direction
on
that
regard.
I've
provided
a
corrected,
ordinance
and
map
in
your
backup
materials,
and
so
that
would
be
the
item
that
you
would
be
approving
this
evening.
Happy
to
answer
any
questions
and
miss
Goodheart
is
also
here
this
evening.
I
N
Time,
yes,
it
will
take
us
probably
another
six
weeks
or
so
to
formulate
a
draft
ordinance.
We
would
then
need
to
schedule
a
public
hearing
at
the
Planning
Commission,
depending
on
Planning
Commission
action.
We
would
then
bring
it
forward.
The
City
Council
overall
I
think
we're
looking
at
about
a
three
to
four
month
process,
depending
on
how
many
public
hearings
we
go
through
or
how
many
adjustments
we
make.
N
A
Any
other
questions
to
staff
before
we
open
the
public
hearing.
Okay,
with
that,
we
will
open
the
public
hearing
and
we
have
eight
people
who
wish
to
speak,
and
our
first
speaker
in
each
members
of
the
public
will
have
two
minutes
available
for
speaker
is
Hank
Bates,
followed
by
Greta
Carter,
then
Damien,
nosov,
Nasiri.
G
P
Six
four
five,
four
six,
nine
three
vermin
road
and
it
was
I-
was
really
happy
to
see
that
Ramon
Road
was
crossed
out
of
this
ordinance
when
I
came
here
and
I
assumed
that
that
meant
this
was
a
done
deal.
But
then,
when
I
hear
that
there
can
be
an
amendment
to
this
and
it
kind
of
gets
me
a
little
nervous
again
and
I
think
well.
P
Why
was
there
interest
in
extending
this
Ramon
Road,
because
Ramon
Road
faces
the
airport,
which
is
pretty
far
away
so
nobody's
want
to
be
impacted
by
any
odor
or
anything
coming
from
that
location
and
the
only
other
thing
on
that
block
next
to
our
Center
at
four
six,
four,
five,
two,
four,
six,
nine
three
Ramon
Road,
it's
a
small
Shack
station
and
I
think
we're
probably
more
impacted
by
the
small
sex
station
that
they
would
be
by
us.
So
it
kind
of
confused
me
a
little
bit.
P
The
owner
of
the
property
bought
the
property
in
December.
2017
was
the
intention
of
leasing
for
cannabis,
a
cannabis
allowances
specifically
because
we
feel
that
there
are
places
where
people
can
go
and
buy
cannabis,
but
they
can't
necessarily
smoke
it
legally,
except
in
their
home
or
wherever
and
again,
earnest
lands
allows
people
to
come
together
and
just
smoke
cannabis
legally.
So
we
thought
that
would
be
a
nice
thing
would
be
like
a
bar,
but
instead
of
alcohol
that
would
be
cannabis.
This
is
legal.
P
The
only
other
thing
I
can
think
of
is
that
you
know
when
we
bought
the
property.
If
we
met
with
the
planning
department
and
they
said
that
it
was
okay
for
cannabis.
We
signed
a
lease
for
someone
to
open
a
can
of
this
lounge
and
we
did
great
work
with
interviewing
that
person
and
going
through
their
their
qualifications,
and
we
think
we
have
a
top-notch
Scarabus
operator,
hey.
A
D
Greetings,
my
name
is
Greta
Carter
and
I
have
a
pretty
well-documented
history
of
helping
to
bring
in
responsible
regulations
around
the
cannabis
industry.
The
that
eventually
evolved
into
me
having
a
consulting
company
that
we
employ
15,
folks
that
him
a
couple
of
them
have
worked,
had
the
pleasure
of
working
with
staff
and
and
representing
our
clients
here.
D
D
But
our
experience
has
clearly
been
in
other
towns
that
lawsuits
ensue
and
they
will
find
an
attorney
that
will
help
represent
them
on
something
that
could
potentially
lose
somewhere
around
seven
or
seven
figures
are
large,
larger,
so
there's
that
legal
repercussions
that
I
want
you
to
be
aware
of,
but
then
the
other
piece
that
I
really
want
you
to
understand
is
that
many
of
the
cities
that
have
businesses
that
have
been
successful
with
order
control.
Many
of
them
are
our
clients.
It's
there's
not
a
lot
of
magic
to
it.
G
A
C
Evening,
members
of
the
City
Council,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity.
My
name
is
Damien
Nasiri
I'm,
an
attorney
and
I,
represent
a
prospective
applicant
for
a
license
whose
secured
a
location
has,
as
the
last
lady
mentioned,
invest
a
lot
of
money
to
get
ready
to
apply,
and
so
moratorium
is
certainly
going
to
hurt
them
financially.
But
beyond
that,
I
think
that
I
would
urge
the
council
to
vote
against
extending
the
moratorium,
because
to
do
so
would
be
effectively
to
create
a
ban
across
the
entire
city
I'm.
C
The
reason
I
say
that
is
because
my
clients
have
looked
into
other
areas
where
the
moratorium
will
not
effect.
That
will
still
be
open
and
they
can't
find
anything.
They've
talked
to
several
landlords,
there's
very
little
to
lease.
If
anything
at
all,
all
they
could
really
find
is
raw
land
and
that's
going
to
take
a
huge
investment
to
basically
buy
the
land,
build
the
building
and
on
the
hopes
of
maybe
getting
a
license
later
on
and
that's
very
difficult
because
there's
it's
hard
to
get
a
loan
in
this
industry.
So
it's
it's
it's
it's.
C
It
hurts
them
tremendously
and
they
what
they
intend
on
dealing
there.
Their
hope
was
to
create
a
manufacturing
business
where
they
made
edibles
and
topicals,
and
they
wanted
to
have
a
small
grow.
A
grow
is
only
going
to
be
about
250
square
feet,
so
if
the
and
that
I
believe
they
can
contain
that
smell
with
the
air
filters
and
all
the
other
ono
gels
and
different
types
of
ways
to
contain
the
smell,
so
I
think
that
if
the
council
does
vote
to
extend
the
moratorium,
perhaps
they
can
consider
carving
out
an
exception
for
small
grows.
C
As
as
the
gentleman
mentioned
there,
I
think
you
have
an
exception
now
for
dispensaries.
Maybe
you
could
also
consider
a
carve-out
for
small
or
grows,
because
250
square
feet
is
likely
not
to
generate
the
types
of
smells
that
I
believe
the
the
larger
warehouses
are
doing
and
I
also
think
that
that
that
they.
A
Q
Good
evening,
mayor
err,
Pro
Tem,
council
staff,
dr.
Reddy
directors
I.
Actually,
so
my
name
is
Steven
V
attic.
This
is
my
boyfriend.
Jason
Gilliland
I'd,
prepared
a
two-minute
speech
regarding
the
moratorium
and
I
was
pleasantly
surprised
to
see
that
it
was
amended
back
to
the
boundaries
that
it
was
formerly.
Q
However,
I
would
like
to
say
that,
please,
you
know,
keep
it
in
those
boundaries.
I
I
would
really
like
to
see
it
stay
in
those
boundaries
and
not
extend
up
to
Ramon
Road
I
know
there
was
some
talk
of
presenting
that
at
the
next
city
council
meeting,
so
I'd
like
to
thank
everybody
for
for
their
time
and
considering
this
all
the
details
around
the
moratorium
with
that.
D
B
Everyone
I'm
here
to
support
Steve
V
attic
on
his
application,
he's
on
Ramon
right
he's
on
Ramon.
So
it's
amazing
that
you
actually
corrected
the
mistake
from
last
time
about
the
map.
That's
fantastic.
We
drove
in
from
Phoenix
just
to
support
him
and
he's
such
an
amazing,
an
ethical
and
brilliant
person
for
him
to
be
the
only
person
who
has
an
application
kind
of
in
limbo.
B
Right
now
it's
been
turned
in
and
partly
been
seen
by
some
sections,
but
if,
if
the
moratorium
is
extended
to
Ramon
Road
very
soon,
his
application
has
this
possibility
of
not
being
accepted
and
approved,
even
though
it's
already
been
turned
in
I.
Just
hope
that
this
one
exception
can
be
made
for
him
because
he's
such
a
good,
he
would
be
such
a
wonderful
addition
to
the
community
and
I.
Just
don't
want
you
to
forget
about
him,
so
just
making
a
plea
on
his
behalf.
So
thank
you
for
listening.
Thank.
P
Thank
you
for
taking
the
opportunity
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
address
the
council.
My
name
is
Todd
Burgess
and
I
own
a
building
located
at
770
South
unitary
Trail,
which
is
currently
listed
for
sale
due
to
its
size
and
and
when
zoning
in
a
distance
of
over
1,300
feet
from
the
closest
residential
zone,
it's
highly
suitable
for
cannabis
cultivation.
We
currently
have
an
experienced
cannabis
operator
interested
in
purchasing
the
building
if
sold.
P
This
would
generate
a
significant
increase
in
tax
revenue
for
the
city
from
both
property
and
ongoing
operations,
property
taxes,
ongoing
operations,
both
parties
relied
on
current
zoning
maps
and
existing
ordinances
prior
to
the
temporary
moratorium
to
negotiate
the
transaction.
Fortunately,
the
current
cannabis
moratorium
has
put
the
sale
on
hold.
The
10-month
extension
would
be
a
deal-breaker.
My
situation
is
just
one
example
of
how
extending
the
mordrem
would
harm
business
and
I'm
asking
you
to
vote
against
it.
P
Additionally,
the
wording
in
the
boundary
description
of
the
proposed
ordinances
mistakenly
places
my
building
within
the
demuth
park,
neighborhood,
as
it
defines
the
eastern
boundary
as
both
sides
of
gene
autry
trail
between
east
camino,
Parsell
and
East,
sunny
dunes
Road.
This
both
sides
of
all
boundary
definition
used
in
the
Orient's
is
at
odds
with
the
Palm
Springs
neighborhood
map
for
the
DeMuth
park,
neighborhood,
as
well
as
as
attachment
to
of
the
ordinance
which
shows
the
eastern
border
of
Timnath
park,
neighborhood
being
the
western
side
of
south
sumatra
trail.
P
Not
both
sides
of
South
Sumatra
trail
is
stated
in
the
ordinance,
since
my
appropriate
outside
the
muth
booth
part
neighborhood
and
over
1,300
feet
from
the
closest
residential
zone,
I'm,
requesting
that
the
wording
for
the
eastern
boundary
be
change
to
correctly
place.
The
eastern
side
of
South
gene
autry
trail
outside
the
moratorium
with
or
without
the
moratorium.
This
change
would
allow
for
the
Sailor
property
go
through
given
the
city,
a
possible
fivefold
increase
in
property
and
other
tax
revenues.
Thanks
for
your
time
and
consideration,
Thank.
R

We've
cleaned
up,
our
properties
got
them
ready
for
for
the
process,
and
you
know
the
tenants
have
paid
rent
for
a
while
and
now
they're
out.
So
we
would
like
you
to
try
to
thread
the
needle
by
maybe
taking
things
on
a
case-by-case
basis
and
not
making
it
an
absolute
over
an
entire
area.
The
San
Raphael
area,
as
you
know,
is
a
very
industrial
area.
I
A
P
D
A
O
Good
afternoon
staff
mayor
council,
my
name
is
dieter
Crawford
I
live
in
the
desert,
island
Gateway,
Estates
neighborhood.
My
background
is
in
community
health
and
public
health,
I
graduated
from
Loma
Linda,
University,
Health,
Samuel,
well,
Gateway
college
and
I
currently
work
at
desert
clinic
pain,
Institute,
where
I
work
with
severely
opioid
addicted
patients
and
I
connect
them
to
different
resources
and
services
in
the
community.
So
the
desert
island
gateway,
Estates
neighborhood
is
480
households,
predominantly
black
and
Hispanic.
O
The
majority
of
the
community
members
are
low-income,
there's
two
federally
subsidized
apartment
complexes
over
40
businesses
and
four
churches.
This
area
has
long
suffered
from
substance,
abuse
and
substance
use.
Disorder
substances
are
alcohol,
stimulants,
inhalants,
cannabis,
hallucinogens,
opioids
tobacco
and
sedatives
substance.
Use
disorder
is
a
chemical
condition
and
what's
your
use
of
one
or
more
substances
lead
to
a
clinically
significant
impairment
or
distress.
Approximately
1.2
million
adults
in
America
suffer
from
coil
cord
occurring
mental
health
and
addictive
disorders.
Those
are
dual
diagnosis.
Most
of
the
people
you
see
running
around
here
that
are
homeless.
O
That's
what
they're
suffering
from
I
begin
experimenting
with
marijuana
at
the
age
of
nine
years
old
by
16
years,
old
I
was
weakened.
Binge
drinking
and
selling
marijuana
crack
cocaine,
powder,
cocaine
and
heroin
by
19
years
old
I
was
making
over
200
thousand
a
year,
but
I
was
helping
destroy
my
community.
She
Freya's
here.
He
knows
we
don't
need
more
stuff
up
there,
like
that.
We
need
grocery
stores,
financial
institutions,
workforce
development
programs
stuff,
like
that.
Not
more
tools
to
self-destruct
I
understand
that
cannabis
will
bring
in
tax
revenue,
but
there
has
to
be
diversity.
O

Thank
you
so
this
issue,
this
moratorium
primarily
came
up
in
the
subcommittee
because
we
had
some
concerns.
Much
like
one
of
our
speakers
presented
this
last
speaker
and
my
concern
with
the
moratorium,
which
is
poor,
is
my
concern
with
any
moratorium
that
we
pull
out
last
minute
after
we've
allowed
something
to
exist
and
thrive
for
a
while,
and
that
is
pipeline
cases
where
we
have
people
who
are
going
to
suffer
great
hardships.
F
If
we
cut
them
off
mid
route
and
I'm
hoping
we
can
have
a
little
discussion
on,
maybe
creating
a
standard
by
which
we
can
allow
some
in
the
pipeline.
I
mean
look
at
some
of
these
that
are
in
the
pipeline
at
this
moment
and
make
a
determination
on
what
kind
of
hardship
it
will
cause
that
that
individual
and
I
guess
I'm.
F
Looking
for
my
colleagues
come
on
on
this
and
staff
as
well
their
thoughts
and
approximately
how
many,
if
staff
is
able
to
to
make
a
gas
of
pipeline
cases,
we
have
right
now
and
when
I
say
pipeline
I
mean
somebody
that
has
done
more
than
just
pull
an
application.
Somebody
that
has
actually
submitted
an
application
and
or
more
purchased
property
and
as
and
is
sitting
on
on
land
and
or
a
lease
with.
F
M
One
ask
a
follow-up
question,
so
we
have
one
submitted
permit.
Do
you
have
a
sense?
Because
we
heard
during
public
comment
of
people
who
might
have
leased
buildings
or
taken
other
actions
to
start
businesses
here
in
Palm,
Springs
I
know
you
probably
don't
have
a
sense
of
how
many
people
have
actually
pulled
and
requested
an
application
or
some
other
measure
where
we
could
track
how
many
people
might
be
in
process
of
setting
up
their
business
and
impacted
by
this
moratorium.
Since.
B
We
began
the
discussion.
I
have
been
tracking
the
phone
calls
of
people
inquiring
about
the
area
because
they
have
been
looking
or
they've,
been
talking
to
people
and
they're
still
interested
in
pursuing
it
and
I
receive
on
average
about
three
calls
a
week
from
people
who
are
either
in
that
area
identified
as
some
park
or
the
desert
Highlands.
So
they
don't
go
as
far
into
discussion
to
tell
me
if
they
have
and
take
out
the
lease,
but
there's
still
quite
a
bit
of
interest.
At
least
three
phone
calls
a
week
and.
M
N
Go
ahead
and
address
that
comment.
Looking
at
the
areas
of
the
city
where
cannabis
businesses
would
be
permitted,
there
are
still
two
major
areas
where
they
would
not
be
covered
by
the
moratorium,
and
that
includes
properties
that
are
along
North,
gene
autry,
tree
adjacent
to
the
airport,
north
of
Ramon
Road
and
then,
of
course,
north
of
the
interstate
10
freeway
in
that
area
there.
So
those
are
the
two
areas
that
still
remain
and
are
not
covered
by
the
moratorium,
as
in
terms
of
the
availability
of
properties
within
that
area.
N
M
A
I
I
I
You
know,
tens
and
maybe
more
thousands
of
dollars
to
get
that
far,
and
so
you
know
that
may
not
be
a
lot.
It's
not
the
three
people
who
call
you
every
week,
you
know
it's.
People
have
really
shown
major
efforts
and
expenditures
towards
this
and
that's
sort
of
where
I'm
stuck
and
I'm.
Also,
you
know
I
know
the
reason
we're
doing
the
ten
months
is
because
just
in
case,
but
it
also
just
concerns
me.
It
sends
a
message
to
have
it
that
long,
because
we
don't
want
that.
We
don't
want
that
message.
I
M
Just
going
off
of
that
really
quickly,
if
I
can,
is
there
a
process
that
staff
would
recommend
for
showing
I
like
what
you
said,
significant
steps
or
hardship
in
this
process.
I
know
it
Maura,
Toria
MS,
a
blanket
prohibition
I
see
that
we
exempted
certain
uses.
Is
it
would
it
be
possible
to
exempt
people,
have
taken
significant
steps
or
relied,
or
is
there
another
way
that
you
would
frame
it
for
that
type
of
process?.
N
It's
very
difficult
to
establish
a
standard
other
than
by
a
use.
The
use
is
a
very
clear
and
easy
line
to
understand
in
terms
of
what
is
permissible
versus
what
is
not
when
we
start
to
get
into
the
area
of.
Has
someone
purchased
a
property
or
have
they
entered
into
a
lease?
It
becomes
a
little
bit
more
difficult
to
then
determine
well.
Is
that
significant,
or
is
it
not,
and
so
I
would
caution
you
from
using
that
as
a
basis
to
determine
whether
applications
should
move
forward
or
not.
J
I'm,
sorry,
it's
it's
really
I.
Think
playing
director
explained
it
pretty
clearly
that
you
have
to
have
a
bright
line
or
we
get
into
a
real
slippery
slope,
and
then
people
start
coming
in
and
saying
that
they
had
their
application,
and/or
their
lease
and
so
forth,
and
it's
pretty
difficult
to
monitor.
That's
not
saying
it's
impossible,
but
what
you
have
before
you
is
the
bright
line,
and
so
we
would
have
to
back
up
and
analyze
due
process
rights.
Visa
vie
this
particular
what
you
had
before
you.
F
F
And
so
my
question
for
you
Veronica
was,
if
you
thought
there
was
perhaps
a
way-
and
maybe
we
do
this
in
subcommittee
on
any
I
know
you
and
I
know
you're,
probably
familiar
with
pretty
much
everybody
and
everything
that
is
either
in
the
pipeline
or
thinking
about
getting
into
the
pipeline,
and
so
I
was
wondering,
if
perhaps
maybe
the
way
to
handle
this
was.
If
you
thought
there
were
any
specific
cases
that
we
should
maybe
look
at
in
subcommittee
and
then
talk
about
I
think
I
understand
the
bright
line
concept.
F
F
So
I'd,
rather
not
just
throw
down
a
hard
metal
door
on
this,
and
maybe
we
take
this
back
to
subcommittee
but
I'm,
hoping
that
you
can
maybe
come
up
with
a
short
list
of
things
or
people
that
you
think
are
hardship
and
if
you
don't
find
that
there
are
any
in
your
experience,
that's
that's
a
perfectly
acceptable
answer.
It's
just
it's!
It's
always
such
a
challenge
up
here
when
we
do
this.
F
As
you
know,
we
went
through
this
with
vacation,
rentals
and
everything
else
that
we've
done
as
we
work
out
these
new
processes
of
taking
a
machete
through
a
jungle
in
creating
new
policy.
So
that's
my
thought
on
it.
Councilman
our
mayor,
pro-tem
Coors,
is
my
is
on
the
subcommittee
with
me.
So
you
know
I'd,
like
your
take
as
well.
In
that
look.
E
Director
you're
asking
for
ten
months,
but
my
understanding
is
that
you
don't
think
you
need
that
and
one
of
the
issues
if
we
go
with
a
shorter
period
of
time,
because
we
may
have
to
revisit
this
and
there
is
some
cost
to
associated
with
that
for
all
of
us.
But
given
the
circumstances,
might
we
be
better
to
be
looking
at
something
along
a
90-day
moratorium
that
90
120
days?
That
would
give
us
an
opportunity
to
move
more
quickly
to
get
past
all
of
the
work
that
we
need
to
do
and
give
some
certainty
moving
forward.
E
N
Certainly
ask
for
the
longer
of
those
two
options
again.
This
is
a
public
hearing
process
before
the
Planning
Commission
in
the
City
Council,
and
so
there
are
notification
deadlines
that
have
to
be
met,
in
addition
to
the
time
required
for
us
to
formulate
modifications
to
the
ordinance
and
do
so
that
addresses
the
concerns
that
have
been
raised
by
residents
and
the
City
Council.
Thank
you.
I
Thank
You
mayor
so
on
the
first
issue,
which
was
people
who
have
taken
significant
steps,
I'm
just
wondering
if
the
best
way
sort
of
to
handle
it
as
subcommittee
can
come
up
with
some.
You
know,
I
think
the
case-by-case
does
get
really
murky,
but
I
think
coming
up
with
some
standards.
If
we
think
we
can
with
Veronica
and
the
City
Attorney,
and
if
we
can
come
up
with
something
bring
it
back
to
council,
we
will
does
that
work.
Okay,
I
do
have
some
other
comments
on
on
this.
I
So
you
know
the
the
idea
of
this
is
councilmember
Roberts
said
was
odor
odor
control,
and
we
did
get
some
information
that
at
some
point,
even
with
great
odor
control.
When
you
have
so
many
businesses,
it
may
still
create
a
problem,
and
so
the
sooner
we
can
get
something
from
the
expert
telling
us
that
that
would
be
helpful.
I
know
we
don't
have
that
at
this
point,
but
it
was
also
saturation
and
also
we
want.
You
know.
I
Some
of
these
industrial
areas
are
directly
next
to
residential
areas
and
oversaturation
is
a
real
concern
and
so
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
and
thinking
about
it
exempting
dispensaries,
because
that's
part
of
the
over
concentration
and
lack
of
economic
diversity
and
one
of
the
things
that
is,
you
know
we
are
hearing,
and
you
know
it
applies
probably
for
manufacturing
distribution,
but
not
it's.
The
same
extent
is
rents
are
going
up
so
much
in
these
areas.
I
I
You
know,
take
space
and
leased
space
ahead
of
time
and
do
all
those
things
so
and
just
I'm
concerned
about
that
and
want
to
hear
from
my
colleagues
until
we
figure
out
what
oversaturation
is
to
allow
oversaturation
to
continue
or
happen
with
no
limit
concerns
me
and
given
there's
no
distance
limitations.
There's
nothing.
You
know
we
could
have
20
new
businesses
in
some
of
these
areas
in
that
time,
so
that
that
concerns
me.
A
Some
comments
on
that.
You
know
mayor
Patel,
I,
believe
you
know
when
we
had
a
lot
of
speakers
here
before
when
we
did
this
odor
control
was
really
our
main
concern,
though,
and
Deidre
Crawford
gave
us
a
map.
I
think
everybody
saw
it
came
with
her
emails
today,
which
actually
did
a
good
job
he's
good
at
doing
maps.
A
It
showed
us
for
all
the
the
businesses
are
located
so
I
think
the
concern
of
the
neighborhood
is
the
over
concentration
of
the
manufacturing
and
growing
facilities
that
create
the
odor
and
sometimes
with
that
much
of
a
concentration.
It's
hard
to
tell
where
it's
coming
from
one
thing:
one
concern
I
have
one
thing
one
question
I
have
mr.
king
is
this
expires
on
April
6,
so
we
have
to
redo
it.
So
what
if
I
mean?
A
J
A
So
we
really
can't
make
very
many
changes
to
this
or
will
have
that
I.
That
would
be
difficult,
perhaps
be
difficult
to
manage,
having
a
gap
of
two
to
four
weeks,
and
if
you
have
the
subcommittee
estimate
I'm
just
pushing
putting
it
pointing
out
some
of
the
procedural
problem
with
a
challenges
here.
So
we
need
to
keep
that
in
consideration.
Also
remember
this
takes
a
4/5
vote
to
pass
this
extension
of
the
moratorium
Airport
in
Robert
some
custom
of
Robert.
F
Thank
you,
I
wasn't
suggesting
that
we
adjust
the
moratorium
right
now.
I
was
simply
saying
that
we
have
a
we.
It
sounds
like
we
have
and
it
sounds
like
I.
Don't
know
that
it's
the
case
and
that's
why
I
was
looking
for
Veronica's
help
here,
that
we
have
some
collateral
damage
and
just
to
see
if
there
was
a
way
we
could
avoid
that.
That
could
happen
in
subcommittee
and
the
moratorium
could
go
on.
You
know
again.
F
The
the
reason
director
fog
needs
is
time
and
staff
needs
this
time,
and
we
need
this
time
is
to
determine
what
our
problem
is.
If
we
have
one
saturation
on
its
own
isn't
necessarily
a
bad
thing
in
this
industry.
It
was
really
about
impacts
and
saturation,
but
if
our
biggest
impact
was
odor
and
we've
pretty
much
solved
that
and
I
don't
know
if
that's
true
yet
saturation
isn't
as
big
a
problem,
because
in
general
this
industry
doesn't
have
major
impacts.
It
it
isn't
loud,
it
doesn't.
F
You
know,
smog,
shops
and
auto
repair
and
recycling
places
create
much
more
impact
on
a
day
to
day
basis,
with
respect
to
noise
and
odors
and
so
forth.
So
it's
really
coming
down
to
recognizing
whether
these
businesses
are
creating
a
significant
impact
or
not,
and
that's
what
we're
really
talking
about
anymore.
So
we
need
to
do
that
process.
I
do
but
personally
believe
we
should
go
on
with
a
moratorium.
All
I
was
suggesting.
Is
that
subcommittee?
F
I
You
mayor
council
member
Robert
said
most
of
what
I
was
going
to
say,
which
is
yeah
I,
don't
think
we
should.
We
should
are
really
capable
of
coming
up
with
what
those
exceptions
might
be
tonight.
I
think
we
need
to
think
about
it
and
get
input
from
legal
counsel
on
it,
and
if
there
is
something
that
makes
sense,
then
we
bring
it
back
to
Council
and
that
we
can
do
correctly
and
legally
mr.
king
you're
nodding
yes,
okay,
just
so
we're
clear,
I.
I
J
N
The
current
moratorium
dispensaries
manufacturing
cultivation
transportation
distribution
are
all
prohibited.
What
we
are
proposing
is
to
relax
that,
and
so,
rather
than
becoming
more
restrictive,
we're
becoming
less
restrictive,
and
it
was
my
understanding
in
discussing
this
with
Jim
Priest,
our
attorney
with
BB
and
Kay,
that
being
less
restrictive,
would
be
appropriate
under
this
moratorium.
However,
the
expansion
of
the
area
or
expanding
to
additional
uses
would
not
be
permissible
and
I'll
just
ask
mr..
If
that
is
yet
correct.
That
is
correct.
N
E
So
I
want
to
err
on
the
side
of
protecting
those
neighborhoods.
As
we
move
forward.
That
said,
I
would
like
to
see
that
the
boundaries
do
remain
as
have
been
defined
in
DeMuth
Park,
that
the
northern
boundary
is
camino.
Para
Sela
and
I
do
not
see
a
reason
for
extending
to
both
sides
of
gene
autry
the
boundaries
I
think
it
should
be
the
western
side
of
gene
autry.
E
That
is
the
boundary
that
we
operate
with
and
I
would
very
much
appreciate
if
the
subcommittee
can
come
back
with
some
modifications
that
allow
those
projects
that
are
in
the
pipeline
to
to
have
an
opportunity
to
move
forward.
I'm,
certainly
open
for
reconsidering
that
at
a
later
date,
but
I
do
not
want
to
lose
this
moratorium.
M
M
I
will
also
support
the
extension
of
the
moratorium.
I
said
again
and
again:
I,
don't
like
moratoriums
I've,
been
saying
up
here
for
a
year
that
we
need
to
assess
how
we
are
choosing
cannabis
businesses
and
it
shouldn't
just
be
first
in
first
out
so
I
look
forward
to
that
strategy,
planning
as
the
City
Council
and
with
the
subcommittee,
but
as
it
stands
now
because
of
the
impacts
on
the
neighborhood,
which
we
heard
again
and
again.
I
think
that
we
need
those.
M
I
And,
let's
see
so
we'll
extend
the
moratorium
six
months.
A
reasonable
compromise.
Is
that
enough
time,
I
really
do
want
you
to
have
enough
time
and
to
get
community
input.
If
we
rush
this
we're
going
to
end
up
back
here
again.
So,
yes,
six
months
is
adequately
and
if
it
can
be
done
faster
with
all
the
proper
process
and
committing
foot.
That's
great,
so
a
six-month
extension
of
the
moratorium.
E
I
A
A
R
You
Marion
council:
this
is
a
follow
up
to
an
item
you
last
saw
at
the
end
of
last
year
regarding
the
proposed
landscape
plan
to
address
the
area
where
we
remove
tamra's
trees
at
the
city's
golf
course.
At
that
time
you
directed
us
to
make
some
revisions
to
that
plan
and
continue
coordination
with
residents
of
mountain
shadows,
as
well
as
the
Crosley
tract
neighborhoods.
R
There
were
a
few
follow-up
meetings
with
representatives
from
both
of
those
neighborhoods
based
on
that
input.
The
landscape,
architect,
revised
the
landscape
plan
eliminated
the
pine
trees
incorporated
a
variety
of
different
trees.
Those
are
identified
in
your
staff
report
with
photos
and
the
issue
of
a
hedge
versus
bushes
was
debated
and
what
was
ulta
is
ultimately
recommended,
for
you
is
some
low-growing
shrubs,
Lantana
and
acacia
again
shown
in
your
staff
report.
R
That
plan
was
provided
to
our
Golf
Course
operator
to
solicit
some
bids
from
their
landscape
contractors,
and
those
bids
are
documented
in
your
staff
report.
There
was
a
field
review
meeting
on
January
31st
with
members
of
the
neighborhood
locations
of
the
palm
trees
and
trees
were
staked.
The
trees
are
positioned
in
ways
that
they
won't
block
the
review
from
the
residents
in
the
Crosley
tract,
so
we
would
recommend
your
approval
of
the
landscape
plan
and
authorize
us
to
direct
a
century
golf
to
proceed
with
the
landscaping.
R
F
Thank
You.
Mr.
fuller,
thank
you
for
a
good
report
and
also
thank
you
for
taking
on
quite
a
bit
of
the
work
for
the
subcommittee,
which
is
the
mayor
and
myself.
I
thought
we'd
have
to
be
out
selling
trees
and
shrubs
and
picking
them,
and
it
sounds
like
you
got
the
neighborhoods
to
do
it,
which
is
the
best
way
to
do
it
and
it
it
looks
like
a
good
selection.
My
only
question
would
be
you
know
our
week.
Are
we
putting
in
preferred
trees
that
are
not?
R
F
Don't
know
if
my
colleagues
heard
anything
about
it,
but
I
have
not
I've
heard
no
complaints,
only
actually
a
few
positive
comments.
So
it
sounds
like
for
every
issue.
There's
a
beginning,
a
middle
and
an
end,
and
it
sounds
like
we
may
have
hit
the
end
on
this.
One
I'll
miss
the
drama,
but
I
think
we
can
find
something
new
to
talk
about
Thank
You
councillor.
E
Just
want
to
thank
mr.
fuller
and
the
neighbors
in
mountain
shadows
and
the
named
Orson
Laurence
Crosley.
It
has
taken
us
so
long
to
get
to
this
point,
and
I
am
really
pleased
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
this
done
very
quickly.
We
are
really
at
the
end
of
a
period
of
time
that
we
can
plant
without
getting
into
the
summer
season.
A
Okay,
thank
you
and
as
part
of
the
subcommittee
with
councilman
Roberts
I'd
like
to
really
think
that
dr.
Reddy
and
Marcus,
particularly
who
did
so
much
work
working
with
the
community
and
getting
all
the
approvals
signed
by
people
and
all
the
waivers
signed
and
getting
those
big
ole,
huge
trees,
ripped
out
and
then
getting
it
all
smoothed
out.
Letting
Assad
planet
are
now
picking
out
the
well.
This
has
been
a
big
project
and
not
empty
of
drama,
so
I'm.
Thank
you
very
much.
So
do
we
have
a
motion
to
approve
motion
improvement
but
counselor
holstege?
A
Next
item
item
5b
request
by
Fenton
booth
on
behalf
of
Glenwood
Management
Group
LLC,
to
defer
a
condition
of
approval
requiring
the
construction
of
a
median
for
a
new
multi-family
residential
complex
at
2150
north
as
n0
roads.
On
our
to
case
three
point,
three:
nine
eight
nine
staff
report.
Please.
N
Mr.
mayor
members
of
council,
you
have
a
request
from
a
property
owner
who
is
in
the
process
of
developing
an
apartment,
complex
on
the
subject
property,
and
the
request
is
to
remove
a
condition
of
approval
that
requires
the
immediate
construction
of
a
median
on
North
Indian
Canyon.
In
terms
of
the
project
itself,
it
will
consist
of
17
apartments
on
a
parcel.
That's
just
slightly
larger
than
an
acre,
its
situated
between
Indian,
Canyon
and
Zen
Harrow.
Road
access
to
the
complex
will
be
from
Zen
Harrow
Road.
N
The
project
was
originally
approved
by
the
Planning
Commission
back
in
July
of
2017.
It
was
called
forward
to
the
City
Council
in
September
and
City
Council
approved
the
project
at
that
time,
but
as
one
of
the
conditions
of
approval,
they
removed
the
deferral
of
the
median
in
terms
of
the
layout
of
the
apartment,
complex
itself.
Here
you
see
a
site
plan
again
seventeen
units,
the
units
are
in
three
buildings
that
are
oriented
around
a
common
courtyard
area.
N
Access
is
on
the
left-hand
side
of
the
drawing
from
Zen
Harrow
Road,
with
some
covered
parking
and
the
parking
lot
serving
the
apartment
complex
there.
There
will
be
pedestrian
access
from
the
Indian
Canyon
frontage;
they
do
have
gates
on
the
north
and
the
south
side
of
the
property
to
the
public
sidewalk
there
on
Indian
Canyon
in
terms
of
the
requirement
for
the
median
itself.
It's
part
of
the
requirements
of
the
general
plan
that
we
have
medians
on
major
thoroughfares.
There's
two
reasons
for
that.
One
reason
is
for
aesthetics,
secondly,
is
for
traffic
control
purposes.
N
The
requirement
for
the
median
was
deferred
to
covenant
by
the
Planning
Commission
at
the
recommendation
of
our
engineering
staff,
for
the
reason
that
we
don't
have
full
improvements
there
in
the
area.
And
so
what
would
have
been
required
is
that
the
median
the
median
would
have
been
required
to
be
constructed
at
a
later
point
in
time
when
adjacent
properties
also
developed
or
redeveloped,
and
we
could
extend
the
median
along
the
full
length
of
the
block.
N
As
I
had
mentioned,
the
City
Council
removed
that
deferral
to
covenant
of
the
median
when
the
project
was
approved
in
September
of
2017.
The
applicant
makes
the
case
that
there
are
safety
issues
relative
to
the
construction
of
a
partial
median
here
in
the
image
on
the
screen.
You
see
the
site
outlined
in
red
in
the
red
dotted
line
that
shows
the
portion
of
the
median
that
the
applicant
is
required
to
construct.
N
There
is
an
existing
median
to
the
south
of
this
that
was
developed
as
part
of
the
64
at
the
RHIB
proj
and
that's
shown
in
yellow.
However,
the
issue
is
north
of
the
project
site
between
or
south
of
racket
club
Road.
There
isn't
a
median
there
and
so
all
of
a
sudden,
mid
block
there
would
be
a
median
starting
at
the
northern
boundary
of
the
property.
N
So
again,
there
are
some
safety
issues
when
we
don't
do
medians
from
intersection
to
intersection
staff
had
originally
recommended
that
we
defer
this
to
covenant
based
on
the
request
of
the
applicant
this
evening.
We
would
still
support
that
recommendation
that
we
defer
this
item
to
covenant.
I
believe
that
mr.
booth
is
here
in
the
audience
or
had
indicated
that
he
would
be
here
this
evening
and
could
answer
any
questions
or
staff
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
Thank
you.
F
You
director
I
struggle
with
this
one,
so
I'm
trying
to
make
findings
based
on
your
recommendations,
the
median
that
fronts,
the
new
64
at
the
rib
in
unless
I'm
missing,
something
that
median
starts
mid
Street
as
well.
It
starts
to
the
north,
I
mean
the
northern
end
of
it
starts
mid
Street.
So
the
argument
that
this
is
more
dangerous
than
another
median
doesn't
really
add
up
for
me.
F
Yet
if
there,
if
the
issue
is
that
a
median
should
originate
at
an
intersection
which
the
64
at
Riv
does,
how
difficult
would
it
be
for
us
as
a
city
to
extend
what
looks
like
a
very
short
distance,
at
least
what
I
can
tell
from
this,
drawing
to
the
same
corner,
V
escuela,
where
the
64
at
Riv
median
starts.
So
my
questions
are:
why
is
this
one,
a
bigger
problem
than
the
other
I
understand
that
the
applicant
is
trying
to
make
that
case.
I,
don't
quite
understand
why
your
department
is
making
that
case.
Let.
N
Me
go
here
to
the
screen
if
I
might
again,
this
property
is
a
very
small
segment
of
Indian
Canyon
between
racket,
club
and
via
escuela.
Looking
at
64
at
the
Riv,
it's
a
much
longer
segment
aligns
with
a
left
turn
lane,
and
so
it's
less
of
a
problem
there
again
here.
We
would
only
have
this
small
segment.
We
would
be
missing
a
segment
here.
The
recommendation
really
is:
it
should
start
here
at
via
Olivera,
where
there
is
an
intersection,
and
we
should
do
the
entire
segment
here.
N
R
Able
to
put
more
on
this
on
this
$300,000,
no
I,
you
know
a
couple
hundred
thousand
dollars.
I,
also
note
we
would
have
deferred
the
median
for
the
condominium
project,
but
they
actually
have
their
main
entrance
on
Indian,
so
they
physically
needed
to
build
that
median
to
make
that
a
right
turn
access.
Only
you
know
the
difference
with
the
apartment
complexes
we
worked
with
them
to
specifically
have
their
entrance
off
of
the
side
street
on
the
on
the
west
side,
I
think.
R
Originally
they
showed
some
an
access
off
of
Indian
in
an
earlier
version,
so
the
median
again
is
a
short
median.
It
doesn't
go
all
the
way
down
the
Via
escuela,
and
that
was
the
reason
why
the
engineering
department
ultimate
originally
recommended
it
be
deferred
to
a
covenant.
We
typically
defer
those
when
they're
short
medians,
like
that.
F
F
I
guess:
I'm
getting
old
I!
Don't
remember
that
and
why
is
it
back
before
us
again
just
because
they
appealed
that
or
at.
N
M
S
So,
as
you
can
imagine,
for
a
homeless
individual
with
little
or
no
income,
the
vouchers,
despite
their
high
high
value,
are
really
unable
and
ineffective
in
helping
them.
If
they
cannot
afford
to
pay
the
difference
between
the
wrench
and
the
voucher,
the
voucher
goes
unused
and
ultimately
may
expire,
the
vouchers
expire
within
60
days,
but
if
we're
able
to
provide
an
individual
with
housing
for
approximately
one
year,
it
may
give
them
the
opportunity
to
find
resources
such
as
employment
and
other
support
mechanisms
that
they
may
need
to
become
self-sufficient.
S
So,
in
discussion
with
our
subcommittee,
we
did
start
looking
into
ways
of
allocating
fundings
to
increase
or
to
bridge
that
gap
between
the
voucher
and
the
rim.
That's
a
and
prevailing
rents
that
are
in
the
community.
Recent
legislation
does
allow
for
cities
to
use
the
former
Redevelopment
Agency
housing
funds
to
go
towards
homeless
prevention
and
rapid
rehousing
services.
S
Keep
in
mind,
however,
the
primary
use
of
the
housing
funds
is
for
producing
new,
affordable
housing
like
the
chalk
project
that
was
recently
approved
or
preserving
existing
affordable
housing.
However,
the
recent
legislation
allows
for
$250,000
per
year
to
be
used
towards
the
homeless
prevention
and
rapid
rehousing
services.
S
F
S
F
F
I
You,
mayor
and
I
think
the
subcommittee,
which
is
council
member
whole
session,
who
asked
for
this
had
the
same
concern
and
given
the
we're
doing
very
well
on
our
budget,
had
initially
suggested
this
from
the
general
fund.
The
city
manager
felt
it
would
be
better
from
the
housing
fund,
so
maybe
it
would
make
sense
for
dr.
Reddy
to
explain
his
thinking
on
that
sure.
G
The
the
housing
fund-
obviously
this
is
for
that
purpose,
the
big
piece,
as
you
said,
what
did
go
to
chalk?
What's
left,
you
know,
isn't
really
enough
at
this
point
to
do
another
kind
of
project.
This
might
be
a
good
short
term
sort
of
used
for
the
funds.
Now,
as
we
move
through
time,
that
fund
will
start
to
grow
back
so
in
it
and-
and
my
thought
was
using
it
here
as
opposed
to
using
the
general
fund,
which
obviously
we're
going
to
need
for
other
expenses.
I
Thank
you
so,
on
this
in
general
and
I'm
I'm,
very
much
open
to
which
way
we
do
it.
You
know
what
really
struck
us-
and
this
was
discussed
at
the
homeless
last
homeless.
Task
force
meeting
was
that
we
have
20
to
25
whether
it's
individuals
or
families,
but
units
who
have
active
vouchers
who
can't
get
housing
and
so
HUD.
I
Over
the
last
two
years,
federal
government
has
reduced
the
amount
of
the
vouchers
to
get
housing,
while
rents
have
gone
up
to
the
point
that
they
really
don't
then
serve
any
goal
so
they're
giving
vouchers
that
can't
be
used,
at
least
for
the
people
in
Palm
Springs
and
for
approximately
four
thousand
dollars
a
year.
We
can
get
someone,
and
sometimes
several
someone's
and
a
family
off
the
streets
and
into
housing
which
is
so
much
less
expensive
than
anything
else
that
we're
doing.
I
Ideally,
this
would
come
from
the
county,
and
ideally,
we
will
find
we
will
look
for
other
means,
foundations
and
other
grants
to
fund
this
moving
forward,
but
for
this
year
these
people
have
their
vouchers
will
expire.
It
was,
we
felt
it
was
a
good
use
of
money
short-term
to
do
that,
so
that
was
that
was
the
reasoning
behind
it
and
I
think
it
can
go
either
way
because
we
can
always
choose
to
replenish
the
housing
fund
and
I.
Think
what
dr.
I
Reddy's
view
was
also
when
I
recall
this
general
fund
can
be
used
for
anything,
so
you
can
always
put
it
into
housing,
but
the
housing
fund
is
restricted,
so
user
restricted
funding
first,
and
then
we
can
almost
replenish
that
for
the
general
fund,
if
we
wanted
that
was
part
of
I
think
the
reasoning
so
so
I
think
it's
an
important
thing.
We
do.
We've
had
so
much
success
in
getting
people
into
permanent,
supportive
housing,
and
we
know
when
someone's
housed.
I
They
do
get
services,
and
you
know
we've
seen
it
through
the
other
housing
first
program:
the
people
in
one
year,
you
know
80%
stayed
in
housing.
Their
incomes
went
up
from
400
to
1500,
roughly
because
of
benefits
and
jobs,
which
means
they
can
then
afford
an
apartment.
So
you
know
it's
a
short-term
way
to
hopefully
get
people
back
into.
You
know
paying
rent
and
living
in
society
is
productive
and
hopefully
happier
people.
A
M
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
and
just
to
be
clear
because
I
got
some
questions
about
this,
on
social
media
and
in
the
press.
This
is
just
to
allocate
the
funds
for
this
type
of
program,
and
then
we
would
bring
back
staff
would
bring
back
a
recommendation
for
the
actual
program
so
who
would
be
entitled
or
who
would
be
able
to
apply?
M
You
know
who
would
operate
this
type
of
program
that
sort
of
thing
so
right
now
the
City
Council
is
just
allocating
that
money
I
think
it's
an
incredibly
important
use,
especially
as
you
as
the
mayor
pro-tem
mentioned.
This
is
a
relatively
you
know:
low
cost
to
actually
get
people
from
who
are
living
on
the
streets
or
have
government
subsidies,
but
can't
find
a
unit
when
we're
talking
about
producing
units.
M
You
know
we're
talking
about
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
unit,
so
if
it's
only
four
thousand
dollars
a
year
or
so
to
get
people
into
housing,
I
think
that's
a
great
use
of
city
funds.
You
know
some
people
are
talking
about.
This
is
gonna
increase
the
cost
of
housing
and
Palm
Springs
and
the
rental
market.
M
I
really
don't
believe
that
to
be
true
on
what
we
have
right
now
is
just
a
failure
in
the
market
where
people
who
have
guaranteed
income
to
pay
for
housing
just
can't
use
it,
and
that
costs
a
lot
of
money
for
the
city
and
for
agencies
to
take
care
of
people
who
are
homeless
so
I
think
it's
a
great
use
of
our
our
money.
We
also
need
to
produce
a
lot
more
housing
and
we're
working
on
that
as
well.
M
A
A
G
You
mr.
mayor
members
of
council
this
evening,
we're
asking
you
to
approve
this
contract
before
you
with
a
best
best
and
Krieger
for
attorney
services,
and
then
we
would
be
appointing
a
city
attorney
mr.
Jeffrey
Ballinger,
who
is
a
member
of
that
firm
and
I'd
like
to
just
point
out
and
introduce
a
mr.
Bellinger's
with
us
in
the
audience
today
he's
here
and
can
certainly
address
any
specific
questions
that
you
might
have.
But
I
would
just
note.
G
The
financial
portion
of
this
contract
is
which
was
outlined
in
the
staff
report,
the
the
monthly
cost
of
this
contract,
which
is
approximately
twenty
seven
thousand
nine
hundred
a
month,
equivalent
to
three
hundred
and
thirty
four
thousand
dollars
a
year.
That
is
where
we
we
started
for
the
two
days
a
week
service
which
he
will
be
here
on
the
ground,
also
available
to
us
city
attorney
for
dealing
with
the
agenda
items
and
things
of
that
nature
throughout
throughout
the
week,
obviously,
through
through
telephone
and
other
communication
means.
G
That
being
said,
we
currently,
as
you
know,
you
have
a
budget
of
approximately
five
hundred
and
eighty
eight
thousand
for
the
in-house
city
attorney,
which
was
the
department
that
you
created
a
couple
years
ago.
Obviously,
when
mr.
Kotkin
resigned
to
City
Attorney,
the
council
wanted
to
review
of
that
process,
and
and
and
through
those
discussions
with
the
subcommittee
what's
before
you
this
evening,
is
recommending
this
this
contract
I
would
note
that
the
five
hundred
and
eighty
eight
thousand
that's
budgeted
for
the
city
attorney
apartment.
That,
in
essence,
will
be
going
away.
G
That
money
will
just
go
in
back
into
the
general
fund
towards
this
contract.
Now
now
that
does
not
include
the
cost
for
litigation
another
outside
law
firms
that
we
handle
alike.
It
has
been
as
an
additional
expense.
That
being
said,
we
would
recommend
that
we
move
forward
with
this
contract,
and
certainly
mr.
ballinger
is
here.
If
you
have
any
specific
questions.
Thank
you
mayor.
I
Thank
You
mayor
just
a
couple
comments
on
the
staff
report.
For
it's
not
everyone
is
going
to
read
through
all
the
details
of
the
contract,
and
so
you
know
it
talks
about
the
amount
of
money
for
it's
called
basic
legal
services
in
two
days
a
week,
but
just
so
if
people
want
to
read
through
the
contract,
that's
really
covering
all
of
the
normal
usual
city
attorney
services,
not
just
of
mr.
I
Alan
German,
attorneys
and
others
in
his
firm
to
work
with
us
so
because
otherwise
we
may
read
that
he's
getting
paid
this
amount
of
money
for
two
days
a
week
in
it
it's
a
lot
more
than
that
right,
that's
the
benefit
of
his
firm
special
legal
services
are
really
for
above
and
beyond,
like
litigation.
So
it's
not
quite
you
know.
I
know
those
are
the
works
in
the
contract,
so
you
have
to
use
those,
but
just
so
the
public
understands
this
is
for
a
lot
more
than
two
days
of
basic
legal
services.
I
This
is
full
league,
normal
city,
legal
services.
You
know
crafting
of
ordinances
and
contracts
and
all
the
things
that
the
city
attorney
does
so
I
want
to
make
that
clear
and
just
want
to
say
you
know
that
in
the
interviews
we
did,
we
really
were
just
so
impressed
with
mr.
Bollinger
and
his
background
his
grasp
of
the
issues
that
we
deal
with
day
in
and
day
out
how
he
interacts
with
us.
A
F
Thank
You
mayor
mr.
Bollinger,
could
you
come
up
to
the
podium?
Please
we
have
to
initiate.
You
know,
actually
we're
not
I
was
just
hoping
and
not
for
us
as
much
as
the
general
public
to
meet
you
and
also
because
we're
going
from
what
was
formerly
a
full
time
on
staff
city
attorney
to
essentially
a
contract
service.
Maybe
you
can
explain
what
that
will
mean
for
the
general
public.
Will
you
be
available
for
phone
calls
all
the
time,
just
sort
of
lay
out
what
that
means
for
for
everyday
people
and
our
and
our
constituents
absolutely.
Q
Reddy
mentioned
I'm
a
member
and
partner
of
the
law
firm
of
best
best
and
Krieger,
been
practicing
municipal
law
for
last
19
years,
right
out
of
law
school,
it's
a
passion
of
mine
to
work
with
cities
and
help
communities
grow
and
be
prosperous
and
I'm,
certainly
sensitive
to
the
the
issue
of
transitioning
from
a
in-house
city
attorney
arrangement
to
a
contract,
city
attorney
arrangement,
and
so
as
Mayor
Pro,
Tem
Kors
mentioned
I
and
other
members
of
the
firm
will
be
fully
available
to
the
elected
officials,
city
staff
and
other
appointed
officials.
Seven
days
a
week.
Q
F
E
Just
want
to
say
that
we
got
an
opportunity
to
interview
three
different
individuals
from
best
best
and
Krieger,
and
all
three
of
them
were
extremely
outstanding
individuals.
But
there
was
no
question
mr.
ballinger,
that
your
personal
story
of
growing
up
in
the
Hemet
area
and
your
convictions
around
a
number
of
issues
that
are
paramount
in
this
community
made
you've.
Just
such
an
obvious
fit
and
I
am
joining
all
of
my
colleagues
and
truly
looking
forward
to
having
you
work
with
us.
I.
Q

A

You

This

has
been

the
City
Council
on
items
of
general
interest
within
the

matter:
jurisdiction

Please

D
Council
and
staff
members
pleasure
to
be
here
like
to
thank
you
for
a
couple
minutes
of
your
time,
not
telling
anything
we're
just
doing
an
energy
introduction
of
the
disabled
american
veterans
and
a
couple
other
groups
mirror
moon.
Thank
you
for
attending
our
meeting
a
couple
years
ago
and
we're
still
in
the
community
just
real
quick
on
what
we
do
and
I
have
a
little
handout
for
everybody.
We
help
veterans
with
standard
claims,
homeless,
veterans,
interesting
statistics
since
as
a
volunteer
service
officer
that
helps
everybody
for
free
in
this
area.
D
Every
woman
over
the
last
four
years
from
military
as
he's
been
raped
or
sexually
assaulted,
every
one
of
them
estimated
50,000
veterans
in
our
community.
An
estimated
7,500
to
7800
of
those
are
same-sex
orientated.
Half
of
those
are
considered
married
and
we
have
barely
touched
any
of
those
to
be
able
to
help
them
get
benefits
the
view
that
had
discrimination.
They
don't
choose
not
to
go
to
the
VA.
Are
they
looking
at
options
or
they
don't
know?
That's
what
we
do
is
help
veterans
get
off
the
streets,
help
them
with
their
claims.

A
You
mr.

and
I'd
like
to
point
out
that
the
members
of
the
community
stop
by
there
sometime
too
and
see
the
place.
If
you
haven't
seen
it
I
mean
it's
a
it's.
A
wonderful
piece
of
history.
I
mean
some
of
the
great
radio
stars
of
the
30s
and
40s
broadcasted
there
during
the
war
and
the
piano,
and
the
stage
was
actually
a
gift
from
Al
Jolson
who
used
to
go
there
when
he
was
in
town
and
play.
So
it's
a
fascinating
place
and
thanks
to
the
generosity
of
mr.
A
D
Mayor
moon,
I
believe
you're
gonna,
be
there
and
speaking.
We
just
like
to
extend
the
welcome
out
to
everybody
in
the
city
to
come
out
and
join
us
and
I'll,
throw
some
information
out
to
you
guys
tomorrow,
so
I'll
get
home
and
print
that
out
and
send
it
down
over
to
you
guys,
and
that
would
be
it.
So.
Thank
you,
sir.
Okay.
A
G
Agenda
items
the
the
first
to
the
Convention
Center
study
session
with
regard
to
the
management
contract
that
the
the
subcommittee
had
had
requested.
Also,
we
do
need
to
from
your
schedules
if
we
get
some
direction
on
basically
a
town
hall
budget
meeting,
which
would
be
the
joint
meeting
with
the
measured
Jay
Commission.
So
those
are
the
two
that
I
specifically
would
like
some
direction
on
and
also
we're
just
a
reaffirming
that
the
fact
that
is
the
may
calendar.
It's
may
1st
and
may
22nd
as
we
move
the
meeting
in
that
month.
So.
I
G
What
are
those
I
know?
That
xx
is
if
well
actually,
if
you
could
assist
me
and
refresh
my
memory,
I
think
the
sub
community.
When
we
talk
to
the
budget
subcommittee
yesterday,
they
had
some
dates
and
I
would
I,
don't
I
want
to
make
sure
I
have
them
correct.
If,
if
maybe
the
subcommittee
could
refresh
my
memory
on
the
dates
for
the
Town
Hall.
G
E
I
I
E
M
M
F
G
I'm
looking
at
well
the
the
what
well,
the
only
thing
is
the
jet
the
agenda
for
that
meeting
on
June
June,
the
5th
is
gonna,
is
due
on
Thursday
the
30th.
So
that's
gonna
be
a
a
quick
turnaround
if
it's
that
week,
so
the
23rd,
if
that
works
for
everyone,
the
23rd
would
be
better
23
to
5:30.
Okay,
5:30
and
23rd
appreciate
that
at
5:30,
okay
and
we.
I
G
F
I
F
E
I
M
I
I
A
E
On
November
6,
since
it
was
immediately
following,
what's
going
to
be
Election
Day,
but
looking
at
the
calendars
and
consulting
with
some
other
folks,
I
think
that
holding
our
November
meeting
on
November
6
instead
of
November
20,
would
actually
provide
greater
continuity
for
this
particular
City
Council
and
a
little
bit
longer
break
for
everyone
before
the
new
City
Council
takes
over
in
December.
So
my
suggestion
is
that
we
change
our
November
20
City
Council
date
to
November
6.
I
I
I
A
Well,
that
give
dr.rudi.
Do
you
anticipate
that
giving
you
and
give
and
having
enough
time
to
get
all
the
business
you
need
done?
Yes,
Mara
anything
else,
I,
don't
think.
I've
ever
said
this
before
we
will
adjourn
time
at
8:30
and
we'll
adjourn
until
Wednesday
April,
the
17th
2019
at
six
o'clock.
Thank
you.
