Description
Special Meeting of the Palm Springs City Council, held May 8th, 2023.
This meeting will include a Study Session on General Fund, Capital and Airport draft budgets for FY 2023-24 and 2024-25
A
Fantastic,
thank
you.
So
at
this
time
we
will
take
public
testimony.
This
time
has
been
set
aside
for
members
of
the
public
to
address
the
city
council
on
non-public
hearing
agenda
items.
Two
minutes
will
be
assigned
to
each
speaker.
You're
asked
to
please
Begin
by
telling
us
what
item
you're,
speaking
of
which
I
guess
at
this
point
is
the
budget
and
there
will
be
general
public
coming
again
at
the
end
of
the
meeting.
Yes
for
non-uh
agenda
item
topics.
C
Thank
you,
mayor
Garner,
good
evening.
As
a
member
of
the
Board
of
Trustees
of
the
public
library,
it
has
been
my
privilege
to
learn
of
the
many
educational
and
recreational
offerings
that
the
library
offers
to
the
residents
of
this
city.
Its
programs
and
collections
are
an
extraordinary
Community
Asset,
which
serves
thousands
of
individuals
annually.
C
Personally,
I
can
attest
to
the
high
quality
of
the
author's
talks
and
the
Palm
Springs
speaks
series.
Yet
the
library,
as
you
know,
is
in
acute
need
of
updating,
expanding
and
improving
its
facilities.
The
physical
fabric
of
the
library
is
outdated.
Frankly,
it
needs
substantial
investment
to
realize
its
full
potential
for
serving
the
people
of
the
city.
C
A
D
You
guys
started
it
too
soon.
I
got
jipped
by
about
10
seconds
here,
all
right.
So
here's
what
we
got
this
is
the
budget
right
now,
right
guess
what
everything
I'm
going
to
talk
about
involves
the
budget.
You
know
why
that's
what
everything
is
so
here's
what
I'm
going
to
do,
I'm
going
to
talk
about
the
library,
real,
quick,
Robert's
Rules
of
Order
I,
need
to
know.
If
this
is
the
way
this
meeting
is
run
or
not.
D
So
what
I
did
is
I
went
and
got
the
12th
edition
today
checked
it
out
from
the
library
notice,
something
there
there's
only
one
of
the
12th
edition.
There
are
two
of
the
11th
editions.
Why
did
one
of
those
not
go
in
the
book
sale
this
last
time
why
it
should
have
been
in
the
book
sale?
We
should
have
two
of
the
12th
editions.
You
guys
are
going
to
be
behind
because
I'm
going
to
keep
this
checked
out
for
the
next
few
weeks,
Robert's
Rules
of
orders
in
action
I've
also
checked
it
out.
D
It's
a
real
good
one.
It
also
includes
a
lot
to
do
with.
No,
maybe
it's
this
one
yeah.
It
is
no
that's
not
as
that
one.
It's
got
to
do
with
how
virtual
meetings
are
held
as
well
so
got
some
questions
on
those
I'll
need
some
answers
on
at
some
point.
But
anyway
you
guys
are
just
left
with
the
one
11
Edition
there's
two
of
them,
but
you
know
it's
Edition
behind.
D
Let's
see
what
else
46
seconds
I
got
so
much
time
here.
I
learned
this
on
the
way
up
here.
Your
police,
Chief
right
here,
I
believe
that
right
this
man
does
not
have
his
library
card.
Yet
he's
been
here
18
months,
I
found
that
out
when
I
came
up
here,
I
asked
him
I
said:
I
asked
him
a
question
because
I
showed
him
where
I
was
from
and
he
said,
I
don't
know
it
and
I
said
you
must
not
have
a
library
card
and
he
said
you're,
correct
and
I
went
oh
wow.
D
D
E
Mayor
Garner,
mayor
Pro,
tem,
Bernstein
and
council
members,
my
name
is
David
Friedman
and
I'm
speaking
you
to
you
in
my
capacity
as
interim
chair
of
the
sustainability
Commission
on
two
proposed
budget
expenditures
that
we
considered
at
the
commission.
First,
the
allocation
of
the
current
fiscal
year
for
Turf
conversion
has
been
greatly
successful.
The
city
provided
a
total
of
five
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
matching
funds,
which
is
partially
funded.
A
total
of
437
344
square
feet
in
the
154
approved
applications.
E
These
projects
will
lead
to
Savings
of
approximately
27
million
gallons
per
year
and
nearly
eighty
three
thousand
dollars
per
year
in
cost
savings
based
on
current,
better
order
agency
rates.
However,
the
cities
matching
funds
were
fully
subscribed.
In
the
day
they
were
made
available.
The
sustainability
commission
Sports
the
additional
funding
proposed
in
the
fiscal
year
2324
budget,
including
reserved
funding
for
low-income
property
owners.
The
commission
also
supports
the
proposed
funding
of
the
city's
transition
of
its
Fleet
replacement
to
EV.
E
Only
this
transmission
is
required
by
the
Advanced
Clean
fleets
regulation
that
the
California
air
resources
board
adopted
on
April
28th
starting
January,
1
2024
50
of
the
total
number
of
vehicle
additions
to
the
fleet
in
each
calendar
year
must
be
EVS
starting
January,
1
2027
100
of
the
total
number
of
vehicle
additions
to
the
fleet
in
each
calendar
year
must
also
be
EVS.
In
addition
to
the
new
carb
regulation,
the
transition
to
EVS
is
required
by
the
city's
environmentally
preferred
purchasing
policy
that
you
adopted
on
March
23rd.
Following
the
sustainability
commission's
recommendation.
E
F
My
name
is
Daryl
Terrell
I
know
it's
too
late
to
introduce
a
new
framework
in
constructing
a
budget,
I
hope
in
the
next
fiscal
year
that
you
guys
consider
priority-based
budgeting.
It's
been
recognized
by
the
international
City
County
management
association
as
a
leading
practice
and
as
a
best
practice
by
the
government,
Finance
Officers
Association
and
the
national
league
of
cities.
Priority-Based
budget
budgeting
we're
bringing
unique
and
Innovative
approach
to
budgeting
that
makes
available
resources
with
Community
priorities
Essence.
F
It
is
a
process
that
aligns
spending
with
priorities,
it's
about
gaining
Community
census
of
its
over
arching
priorities
and
then
aligning
the
spending
on
the
communities
program
with
those
priorities
it
would.
It
would
allow
the
community
to
understand
the
core
values
and
how
the
budget
relates
to
those
values,
bringing
them
to
life
in
the
easy
to
understand
and
transparent
way.
This
process
would
enable
you
to
link
funding
decisions
to
priorities
in
the
Strategic
in
your
strategic
plan.
Here
are
some
advantages.
F
It
would
offer
us
transparency
into
what
services
the
city
provides
and
how
much
it
would
cost
to
provide
them.
It
will
show
how
Personnel
affiliated
with
different
programs
make
it
easy
to
understand
where
the
workforce
is
spending
their
time.
Also,
it
would
give
costs
in
context
to
programs
using
invariable
data
points
rather
than
categorizing
them
by
departments.
A
G
We're
going
to
take
I
think
the
staff
we've
got
about
four
sections
to
go
through
we're
going
to
go
through
the
general
fund
budget,
we'll
go
through
the
capital
budget.
We
have
our
financial
advisor
who's,
going
to
talk
about
some
Finance
strategies
with
us
and
then
we're
going
to
conclude
with
our
Airport
Budget
and
council.
Members
can
certainly
ask
questions
in
any
time
throughout,
but
we
will
specifically
take
time
after
each
one
of
those
sections
any
questions
and
obviously,
when
we're
done
we'll
have
time
for
a
lot
more
questions
as
well.
G
So
I'd
like
to
begin
just
to
let
the
public
know.
This
is
the
first
of
several
points
of
discussion
with
the
council.
We're
tentatively
scheduled
for
a
joint
budget
meeting
with
the
measure.
J
commission
I
think
now
on
June
5th,
which
allows
us
to
coordinate
with
their
final
schedule
for
this
month,
followed
by
council
meeting
discussions
on
June
5th
and
June
29th
related
to
the
budget
per
state
per
state
law.
Council
budget
approval
is
required
by
July
1st
of
2023.
G
G
You
will
note
that
the
material
we're
presenting
tonight
is
comprehensive
and
includes
a
number
of
graphical
depictions
of
the
budget
that
we
believe
will
make
it
easier
for
the
public
to
understand
this
complex,
subject
manager.
We
want
to
continue
working
in
this
area
to
further
enhance
Community
transparency.
G
So
let
me
talk
a
bit
about
some
of
the
budget
highlights
and
challenges
more
than
anything
else.
This
budget
reflects
our
commitment
to
rebuild
the
capacity
necessary
to
carry
out
our
mission.
The
two
priority
areas
that
you've
asked
us
to
remain
focused
on
include
quality
of
life,
with
a
focus
on
improving
homelessness,
Public,
Safety
and
crime
reduction,
affordable
housing
and
economic
development
and
two
Community
infrastructure,
with
the
goals
of
improving
City
facilities
in
attention
on
the
five-year
Capital
Improvement
plan
and
overall
Community
design
to
rebuild
capacity.
G
This
biennial
budget
is
recommending
a
number
of
actions
and
strategies.
The
addition
of
26
positions
to
general
fund
departments
and
I'll
speak
we'll
speak
more
about
those
in
a
bit.
The
addition
of
49
positions
to
support
unprecedented
growth
at
the
Palm
Springs
International
Airport,
reclassification
of
a
fund
development
position
to
achieve
Economic,
Development
officer
at
the
assistant
director
level
to
drive
new
development
opportunities
and
support
business
initiatives.
G
In
addition,
we
have
kept
our
commitment
to
Public
Safety.
When
measure
J
was
passed
in
November
2011..
We
are
strengthening
our
fire
and
police
departments
with
added
Staffing
equipment
and
new
technology
that
Public
Safety
commitment
continues
in
this
biennial
budget,
specifically
to
include
two
new
two
new
police
Dispatchers
in
20
fiscal
year,
24
and
two
more
in
fiscal
year,
25
at
an
annual
cost
of
243
and
249
000,
respectively.
G
G
In
the
city's
Capital
plan,
there
is
approximately
seven
million
dollars
budgeted
to
Aid
in
the
renovation
of
the
library.
As
we've
heard
earlier,
the
library
received
a
grant
in
fiscal
year,
23
for
approximately
6.5
million
and
in
total
the
city
has
13.5
million
for
Library
renovation
that
will
be
completed
over
the
next
two
fiscal
years.
The
measure
J
commission
is
expected
to
have
further
discussions
to
potentially
fund
additional
phase.
One
improvements
the
city
remains
committed
to
improving
the
lives
of
its
residents
through
its
affordable
housing
initiative.
G
Previously,
the
city
council
approved
to
set
aside
10
million
dollars
for
affordable
housing
on
April
27
23
2023.
The
city
council
approved
funding
in
the
amount
of
three
million
dollars
for
the
aloe
Palm
Canyon
project,
leaving
a
balance
of
approximately
7
million
dollars
in
the
set-aside
funds,
which
the
city
has
plans
to
disperse
in
the
fiscal
year.
2024
and
fiscal
year,
25
budgets,
along
with
the
affordable
housing
initiative,
providing
resources
to
the
vulnerable
homeless
population
that
calls
Palm,
Springs
home,
has
been
a
top
priority
of
the
city
underway.
G
Is
the
city's
construction
of
a
permanent
navigation
Center
to
temporarily
house
some
of
the
City's
unhoused
population.
The
city
will
be
funding
the
construction
and
some
of
the
operations
with
Grant
funds
from
the
state
prior
to
the
completion
of
the
permanent
navigation
Center.
The
city
continues
to
pursue
additional
opportunities
for
temporary
and
emergency
shelter
needs.
G
In
addition
to
the
navigation
Center,
the
city
is
budgeting.
The
remaining
set
aside,
funds
of
nine
hundred
thousand,
four
million
of
which
was
originally
approved
by
the
council
in
fiscal
year,
23
to
address
further
needs
related
to
the
homeless
population,
such
as
cool
and
warm
centers
and
encampment
cleanup.
G
Also
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year
to
see
vague
over
the
next
two
years
for
homeless,
Outreach
Services.
The
city
has
been
proactively
working
to
engage
residents
on
becoming
more
sustainable
and
reducing
the
carbon
footprint
of
the
city
in
an
impactful
way.
After
the
success
of
the
city's
first
Turf
conversion
program,
the
city
will
build
on
this
success
by
deepening
the
program
with
help
from
the
Desert
Water
Authority.
G
The
program
will
feature
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
dwellings,
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
Homeowner
associations
and
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
low-income
property
owners
to
meet
up
upcoming
carb
requirements.
The
city
will
begin
transitioning
its
Fleet
replacement
to
EV.
Only
the
city
is
planning
a
multi-year
project
targeted
at
electrical
upgrades
in
the
installation
of
25
charging
stations,
with
a
cost
of
four
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
dollars
for
the
INF
infrastructure
and
approximately
three
thirty
thousand
in
ongoing
expenses.
G
The
city
is
creating
a
rapid
response,
Street
repair
team
to
address
troubled
spots
throughout
the
city
for
increased
Readiness
and
safer
road
conditions
through
the
ability
to
Hot
Patch
Street
areas
for
longer
lasting
repairs.
Part
of
this
is
to
acquire
two
Industrial
Vehicles
hot
patching
and
Aero
board
trucks
for
a
cost
of
275
thousand
dollars.
G
G
Thanks
to
the
community
supportive
measure
J
and
the
work
of
the
measure
J
commission,
we
can
Envision
financing
strategies
that
will
allow
us
to
advance
these
initiatives
now,
rather
than
waiting
on
a
pay
until
fully
funded
philosophy
in
the
next
five
to
ten
years.
The
city
will
have
a
significant
amount
of
public
debt
coming
off
our
books
and
we've
arranged
for
Suzanne
Harrell,
our
longtime
financial
advisor
from
Harrell
and
Company
advisors.
To
give
us
an
update
in
a
few
minutes
that
can
help
us
similar
to
how
the
downtown
revitalization
financing
program
was
managed.
G
Also,
next
month,
our
finance
team
will
be
bringing
forward
a
reserve
fund
policy
for
your
considered
approval
that
will
work
hand
in
hand
with
Suzanne's
remarks.
That
policy
could
include
plans
for
Capital
replacement
reserves,
infrastructure
and
asset
management
later
in
the
year.
We
also
want
to
bring
forward
a
pension
stabilization
plan
for
your
considered
approval.
G
One
of
the
items
that's
not
in
here
is
the
initiative
that
was
involved
with
the
city
on
Blue
zones
earlier
in
the
year
that
work
is
undergoing
and
we
understand
they're
working
on
a
report
to
bring
to
us
at
a
later
time.
So
we
haven't
reacted
to
that
initiative
right
now,
and
so
finally,
I
want
to
thank
thank
the
staff,
particularly
Chris,
Mooney
and
Drew,
for
all
their
hard
work.
When
I
got
here,
I
asked
him
to
Pivot
quickly
and
pres.
H
Good
evening
mayor
mayor,
Pro,
Tim
council
members
we're
going
to
go
through
the
general
fund
budget.
The
format
of
this
will
be
very
similar
than
what
we
did
at
the
mid-year
update.
Also
last
year's
budget,
where
I'll
run
through
the
general
fund
and
we'll
do
a
capital
budget
update
and
a
capital
project
update,
and
then
we
will
move
into
the
financing
discussion
with
Suzanne
and
then
we'll
wrap
it
up
with
the
airport
budget,
update
so
very
similar
format
than
the
mid-year.
H
H
Okay
hope
everybody.
Everybody
can
see
that
we
tried
to
make
it
as
big
as
we
could
so
we're
going
to
start
out
with
Revenue
I
want
to
focus
mainly
on
the
second
column,
which
is
the
fiscal
year
24
budget
and
the
third
column,
which
is
the
fiscal
year.
25
budget
I'm
not
going
to
talk
too
much
about
23
until
we
get
to
very
to
the
very
end
of
the
presentation.
H
So
we'll
start
out
with
the
largest
revenue
line
item
that
the
city
has
and
that's
the
tot
tax
of
the
transit
occupancy
tax
I
do
want
to
say
that
we
are
on
target
to
meet
our
forecast
of
almost
50
million
dollars
in
23..
So
I
think
that's
good
news
with
that.
We
are
seeing
vacation
rental
Revenue
down
about
11
from
13.2
million
in
20
two
to
11.7
million
year
to
date
today.
H
So
while
that
number
started
out
pretty
slow,
the
last
two
months
have
been
good
vacation
rental
Revenue
months,
exceeding
what
we
did
in
fiscal
year
22
for
the
last
two
months.
If
that
Trend
continues,
we
should
be
able
to
close
that
gap
on
what
we
did
last
year
for
fiscal
year,
24
tot
in
general
or
in
total,
which
is
all
hotel
and
all
vacation
rental
Revenue.
That
makes
up
the
48.9
million
we're
budgeting
it
to
be
slightly
down
in
fiscal
year,
24
about
2
percent
and
then
in
fiscal
year
25.
H
H
utility
users
tax
continues
to
be
strong.
We
are
continuing
its
growth
with
consultation
from
our
tax
advisors.
We
have
given
good
numbers
for
the
next
couple
of
fiscal
years
at
20.9
million
and
24
and
24
million
in
25.
So
that's
a
good
growth
over
the
next
couple
of
years
again,
in
line
with
what
our
Tax
Consultants
are
forecasting
and
then
I
just
want
to
touch
on
the
all
other
sources
of
revenue.
H
It
includes
our
fees
for
the
city,
that's
the
28.2,
29.2
million
and
24,
and
the
29.6
million
and
25..
What
makes
up
that
category
are
fees
for
our
City
Services
licensing
and
permitting
fees,
fines
and
penalties
and
interest
income
and
many
other
areas
that
make
up
what
we
could
consider
miscellaneous
Revenue.
H
H
H
H
All
right,
sorry
about
that.
Okay,
Grant
Revenue
expected
the
client
significantly
because
we're
assuming
that
we're
going
to
use
a
lot
of
the
homelessness
funds
just
sort
of
a
side.
Note
the
tot
the
property
tax
sales
and
use
tax
and
utility
users
tax,
make
up
75
percent
of
the
city's
operating
Revenue.
H
So
that's
why
we
pay
so
much
attention
to
those
four
items
and
watch
them
very
closely
throughout
the
year
to
be
sure
we're
on
target
to
meet
what
we
have
budgeted
or
what
we
have
forecasted
sales
and
use
tax
going
to
be
flat
from
23
to
24
a
little
bit
of
growth
in
25
at
3.7
percent.
Again
this
is
one
of
those
line
items
that
we
sort
of
rely
on
our
Tax
Consultants
for
their
help
in
forecasting
the
way
they
give
us
the
numbers.
They
give
us
a
very
aggressive
number.
H
They
give
us
a
very
conservative
number
and
then
they
give
us
that
middle
Target.
So
what
we
use
in
our
forecasting
and
budgeting
is
that
middle
Target
and
lastly,
on
the
Cannabis
tax
revenues
we
have
budgeted,
they
will
continue
to
to
decline.
We
have
put
a
five
percent
reduction
in
cannabis,
tax
revenue,
each
and
24,
and
in
25.
H
We'll
move
on
to
some
of
the
expenditure
highlights,
so
we
plan
to
spend
216.4
million
dollars
in
fiscal
year,
24
and
184.1
million
dollars
in
fiscal
year
25,
and
a
lot
of
what
Scott
had
mentioned.
I'm
just
going
to
reiterate
here
in
this
presentation.
These
are
the
big
items
that
are
in
that
budget.
H
So
first
we
have
the
remaining
set
aside
of
seven
million
dollars
for
affordable
housing
to
be
used
on
some
initiatives
such
as
rental
assistance,
low-income
housing,
Rehabilitation
and
additional
funding
over
the
next
two
years
to
facilitate
development
opportunities
again
continue
to
partner
with
dwa
on
Turf
version.
That's
going
to
Total
about
1.2
million.
H
We
have
the
950
000
total
for
the
electrical
system
upgrade
and
infrastructure
build
out
for
the
25
new
charging
stations,
the
purchase
of
the
motor
grader
at
a
cost
of
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
again
to
help
open
the
roads
quicker
after
weather
events
and
then
Grant
funds.
The
homelessness
State
Grant
funds
that
we
have
sitting
in
Grant
expenses
are
going
to
be
used
for
the
operation
for
the
construction
and
some
of
it
for
the
operation
of
the
navigation
Center
over
the
next
couple
of
years.
H
This
is
just
a
slide,
we're
starting
to
get
into
some
of
our
staffing
expenses
and
going
to
a
little
bit
more
detail
on
some
of
the
Staffing
that
the
general
fundra
fund
is
going
to
absorb.
I
just
wanted
to
show
you
that
salaries
and
benefits
make
up
a
significant
portion
of
the
budget
at
about
60
to
63
percent
on
an
annual
basis
for
fiscal
year
24.
H
H
Another
slide
just
to
kind
of
shows
City
Staffing
at
a
glance
it
kind
of
gives
you
the
bigger
areas.
General
government
is,
is
you
know,
General
government,
it's
I.T,
it's
Finance,
it's
HR,
it's
Economic,
Development
Community,
Development
engineering.
So
that's
what
it's
made
up
of
many
different
areas.
You
have
the
police
department
and
fire
and
then,
of
course,
the
airport
you
can
see
it
grows
from
18
percent
of
Total
Staffing
to
22,
which
is
their
initiative
to
staff
up
the
airport
to
meet
the
demand.
H
This
will
give
us
a
summary
of
Revenue
expenses
and
then
it
will
also
give
us
total
fund
balance
broken
out
into
what
we
are
proposing
for
a
minimum,
a
remaining
unassigned,
and
it
also
gives
us
our
Calpers
set
aside
fund
balance
as
well
so
I'm
going
to
begin
over
the
third
column
over
into
the
second
green
column,
I'm
going
to
go
down
to
Total
revenues,
which
is
186.4
million
dollars
which
we're
projecting
for
the
end
of
this
year.
We
have
expenditures
of
136
million
transfers.
H
Out
and
again,
those
are
transfers
to
other
funds,
which
we
call
transfers
out,
that's
27
million,
so
that
goes
for
things
like
the
general
fund
contributes
to
The
Debt
Service
fund.
The
general
fund
contributes
to
the
fleet
internal
service
fund
for
vehicle
purchases
and
and
the
facilities
funding.
If
Council
remembers
from
last
year,
we
we
gave
a
lot
of
extra
dollars
to
those
funds
to
kind
of
Pat
them
up
for
projects
and
purchases
that
weren't
performed
over
covid,
so
that
why
that's
a
pretty
big
number
of
fiscal
year
23.
H
we
have
the
operating
Surplus
is
about
11
million,
which
we're
forecasting
for
23..
We
have
set-asides
that
we've
used
so
far
this
year.
This
is
the
actual
money
that
has
gone
out
the
door,
which
is
3.86
million,
so
that
was
the
contribution
to
DAP
Health,
the
2.8
million.
That
was
the
big
number
in
there.
H
That's
the
beginning.
Fund
balance
projected
revenues
of
199
million,
projected
operating
expenditures
of
155
million.
We
have
transfers
out
of
19
million
set
asides.
That's
the
total
remaining
set-asides
and
I'll
just
say
that
after
fiscal
year
24
and
25,
we
have
a
plan
to
use
all
of
the
set-aside
money,
except
for
the
police
department
set
aside,
which
is
4
million,
and
then
we
have
1.6
million
remaining
in
Workforce
Development,
but
other
than
that.
H
The
there
is
a
plan
to
use
the
set
of
side
funds,
216
million
dollars
in
total
expenditures
and
a
deficit
of
16.7
million,
but
keep
in
mind
that
that's
with
the
19
million
dollar
set-asides
that
we're
going
to
spend
in
fiscal
year
24
and
without
that
money
we'd
be
showing
an
up.
Basically,
an
operating
Surplus
we'll
go
down
to
the
proposed
minimum
fund
balance,
and
this
is
what
Scott
had
mentioned
earlier:
we're
going
to
be
bringing
a
fund
balance
policy
to
the
Council
Office
in
sometime
in
June.
H
This
will
be
a
fund
balance
policy
that
is
in
line
with
the
government,
Finance
Officers
Association
of
America's
guidelines.
It's
a
very
common
policy
and
there's
a
lot
of
really
common
fund
balance.
Best
practices
within
this
policy
we'll
bring
that
to
the
council,
hopefully
in
the
next
couple
of
meetings.
H
The
remaining
unassigned
fund
balance
is
about
66
million
dollars
for
total
unassigned
fund
balance
of
95.9
million
I,
think
that
is,
and
then
the
Calpers
set
aside
again
in
24
growing
it
by
6
million
dollars
to
end
the
year
at
40.25
million
and
as
I
have
over
my
side.
Note.
As
Scott
mentioned
earlier.
H
Again
we're
assuming
the
set
of
sides
will
be
used,
but
we
probably
will
have
some
carryover
into
25
we're
just
making
the
assumption
that
they're
going
to
be
used
in
24,
Grant
expense
down
significantly
to
1.7,
and
so
we're
left
with
an
overall
Surplus
and
25
of
about
3.8
million.
We've
assumed
the
same
proposed
minimum
fund
balance
at
30
million
dollars
remaining
unassigned
fund
balance
is
just
under
70
million
dollars
and
the
Calpers
set
aside
grows
again
six
million
to
46.2
million
dollars
and
with
that
that's
the
end
of
the
general
fund
presentation.
H
When
we
we
just
kept
the
number
the
same
it,
it
will
change
when
we
Implement
our
fund
balance
policy
and
we
go
with
the
straight
percentages
or
we
want
to
go
with
a
straight
percentage
of
operating
expenditures
which
we'll
come
to
council
with
that,
then
it'll
fluctuate
when
the
operating
expenditures
fluctuate
right.
Now
we
just
made
it
flat
year
over
year.
H
Financial
statements,
so,
as
that
number
fluctuates
the
the
operating
expense
or
the
fund
balance
minimum
will
fluctuate
as
well
too.
The
GFA
guidelines
really
kind
of
say
you
want
to
pick
the
less
volatile
line
item,
either
expenditures
or
revenue,
and
my
practice
has
been
to
always
use
operating
expenditures.
It
seems
to
be
the
less
volatile
line
item.
H
It
should
oh,
yes,
they
are
they're
in
the
attachment
one
in
the
budget.
Brief.
Okay,
it's
a
little
bit
more
lengthy,
but
they
are
in
there.
Now.
Are
you
talking
about
the
graphical
charts
or
or
the
fund
balance
worksheet?
The
pie,
charts
that
you
were
showing
the
pie.
Charts
are
not
I,
don't
think,
are
not
in
not
these
exact
ones.
There
are
some
pie
charts
in
there,
but
these
are
different
than
what's
in
the
budget.
Brief.
Okay,.
G
K
You
we
end
up
with
a
lot
of
questions,
but
I'm
going
to
try
to
keep
them
short
the-
and
this
is
very
impressive,
I'm
I'm
pleased
and
the
manner
in
which
this
has
been
formatted
is
very
easy
to
follow,
and
much
appreciated
and
I
greatly
appreciate
some
of
the
historical
data
that
we
have,
that.
Let
us
see
some
Trends
in
ways
that
we've
not
previously
been
able
to
see.
So
thank
you.
K
I'm
gonna
go
right
to
the
start.
I
see
an
edition
of
two
dispatchers
this
upcoming
year
and
two
more
the
following
year,
but
I
don't
see
any
additional
police
officers
in
this
budget
and
there's
nothing
that
I
hear
more
requests
for
than
more
police
officers,
except
maybe
fewer
people
that
are
homeless
on
the
street.
G
Yes,
Council,
council,
member
I,
think
I
I.
Think
the
police
department
is
going
through
a
staffing
study
in
the
coming
year
and
once
they
go
through
that
that
I
think
the
chief
and
I
will
be
able
to
get
together
and
have
a
little
better
feel
for
where
we
might
be
going
long
term
on
police
Staffing.
K
L
Council
member
Middleton
I
can
address
the
first
part
of
it.
We
already
went
through
the
process
to
select
a
firm
I,
wasn't
happy
with
the
firms.
I
came
in
way
over
budget
and
undervalued,
and
what
from
what
we're?
Looking
for
declare
with
me
that
he
wants
me
to
get
this
done
and
so
we're
working
with
procurement
to
come
up
with
a
process
that
will
get
us
to
where
we
need
to
go.
That
is
keeping
within
what
we
expect
for
the
city
of
Palm
Springs.
G
Okay
and
council
member-
let
me
just
maybe
emphasize
something
I
didn't
say
in
the
beginning.
Also,
is
that
we'll
we're
proposing
a
biennial
budget
mainly
for
the
Public's
benefit
a
two-year
budget,
but
that
doesn't
mean
we
don't
look
at
it
throughout
the
two
years.
So
typically,
what
happens
at
very
minimum?
Is
we
come
back
to
council
with
a
continuation
budget
halfway
after
one
year?
H
H
M
M
M
H
M
M
Go
ahead,
I
I'll,
wait
till
the
end
and
go
through
it
all
in
case
it's
covered
elsewhere,
but
I
am
just
going
to
point
out
something
on
that.
One
slide
you
showed
with
a
community
in
Economic
Development
was
one
percent
of
our
staffing,
expense
and
and
I'm
going
to
keep
saying
this
later.
It'll
go
on,
but
50
of
our
Revenue
comes
from
our
local
businesses.
M
It
seems
like
we're
sort
of
assuming
that
they're
going
to
keep
getting
our
Revenue
in
and
I
think
we
need
to
take
a
much
more
proactive
role
in
a
very
senior
level
to
be
getting
in
to
ensuring
that
we
maintain
that
I
think
between
cannabis,
tot
and
sales
tax.
It's
it's
75.
It's
half
our
budget,
which
we
have
Direct
Control
with
our
with
our
local
businesses.
M
N
Also
trying
to
decide
what
level
of
questions
to
ask
right
now
you
talked
about
Street
Maintenance,
going
from
6
million
to
9
million
a
year,
I
think
last
budget
cycle.
We
had
an
in-depth
conversation
about
that
and
we
had
additional
funds
that
went
beyond
the
normal
6
million
that
we've
been
doing
year
over
year.
So
can
you
just
explain
a
little
bit
about
why
that
number
went
up
so
much
and
what
is
the
cost
savings
and
the
analysis
behind
that
yeah.
H
So
I
can
talk
to
the
dollars
and
maybe
Joel
could
give
a
little
color
to
some
of
the
other
question,
but
we
had
a
a
few
years
ago.
My
understanding
was,
we
had
a.
We
didn't
spend
all
of
that
money,
so
there
was
a
three
million
dollars
that
was
left
over
that
we've
been
carrying
over
for
a
couple
years.
Well,
we
decided
Joelle
has
decided
that
in
24
it's
time
to
spend
the
money,
so
we're
going
to
increase
it
from
six
to
nine
million.
N
N
Great,
thank
you,
I
think,
that's
consistent
with
council's
directions
that
we
want
to
use
those
rollover
funds
and
really
deploy
them
for
our
community
for
firefighters.
The
budget
has
going
to
three
three
additional
firefighter
EMT
positions.
We
had
talked
about
a
plan
of
getting
to
40
Staffing
I,
believe
that
would
require
six
new
firefighter
EMT
positions.
We've
had
a
long
conversation
about
this
last
budget
cycle
and
we
have
a
new
police
fire
chief.
So
welcome
we're
so
glad
to
have
you
in
our
community.
Welcome
as
you.
N
We
just
start
budgeting
and
you're
sitting
here,
but
we're
really
grateful
to
have
you
so
I
assume
our
new
fire
chief
will
have
some
input
there
and
we
really
want
his
input
over
the
budget.
But
could
you
speak
a
little
bit
about
why
three
firefighter
EMT
positions
were
recommended
and
if
there's
a
plan
to
get
to
440
Staffing
and
what
that
looks
like.
G
Certainly
councilmember
the
only
thing,
I'll
comment
on
that
regard:
it
was
probably
just
more
of
a
bit
of
a
prudent
cautious
budgeting
over
these
next
couple
years
is
was
indicated,
we're
going
to
be
looking
to
see
how
the
economy
is
performing
and
where
we're
going,
we
either
need
to
add
we
need
to
add
in
groups
of
three
I
think
to
get
fully
fully
staffed.
So
three,
adding
three
gets,
gets
us
to
four
of
our
five
fully
four-person
staffed
situations
and
I
think
we
would
look
at
now.
G
You
know
never
say
never
a
year
from
now.
If
revenue
is
as
strong,
the
economy
is
strong.
We
might
be
more
comfortable
with
looking
at
adding
the
next
three
group
of
firefighters
a
year
from
now,
but
we
were
just
a
little
bit
cautious
in
wanting
to
see
how
the
economy
performs
over
the
next
12
months
or
so.
N
Thank
you
and
I
think
last
budget
cycle
and
administrative
or
a
deputy
chief
or
there
was
a
battalion
chief,
I,
think
recommended
as
a
battalion
chief
included
in
this
budget.
I
know
we
had
talked
about
the
ratio
and
supervision
and
how
to
best
align
the
department
with
firefighters,
EMTs
and
Battalion
Chief
and
other
supervisory
positions.
G
Yeah
and
potentially
on
the
battalion
chief
position,
I
wanted
to
make
sure
the
fire
chief
got
here
and
got
a
chance
to
do
an
evaluation
for
himself.
We've
talked
about
potentially
partnering
that
position
with
airport
funding,
because
a
lot
of
that
position
will
potentially
serve
airport
operations.
So
we
need
to
kind
of
look
at
it
from
that
standpoint
as
well
great.
N
Got
it
thank
you,
but
it
might.
It
sounds
like
it
might
be.
Once
we
get
the
analysis
from
our
new
chief,
that
sounds
great
for
fire
station
one
I
know,
we've
talked
a
lot
about
planning
for
that
Capital
need.
So
could
you
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
in
this
budget
and
what
we
need
to
think
through,
because
that
is
very
urgent,
yeah.
G
And
I
think
it
it
might
come
into
focus
a
little
more
when
we
talk
about
our
financial
Financial
strategies
with
our
advisor.
That's
coming,
that's
going
to
be
speaking
in
just
a
few
minutes
about
that,
but
we
know
that
it's
it's
a
it's
a
critical
obligation.
We
talked
in
our
staff
meeting
this
morning
about
trying
to
do
planning
for
that.
So
it's
not
just
it's
a
complicated
process
right
and
we
talked
about
maybe
having
a
team
that
included
both
fire
fire
department,
expertise,
City,
Planning
expertise.
G
You
can't
just
set
a
new
fire
station
down
anywhere.
It
has
to
be
within
models
of
how
we
can
respond
quickest
to
the
greatest
area
in
that
part
of
the
city,
and
then
my
experience
is
you.
It's
always
good
to
have
some
people
in
your
city
planning
department
being
a
participant
in
that
your
fire
Personnel
are
tremendous
in
in
the
technical
expertise
of
where
it
needs
to
be
and
how
it
needs
to
get
there.
G
But
there's
always
there's
always
implications
about
what
a
fire
station
does
in
a
particular
location,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
right
amount
of
community
engagement
and
everything
that
goes
along
with
it
and
then,
very
importantly,
as
the
historic
preservation
people
remind
me
are.
The
current
station
I
believe
is
a
Class
one
building,
and
so
we're
going
to
need
to
take
great
care
to
think
about
what
what
is
the
ReUse
of
of
that
particular
building.
G
If
we're
to
vacate
it
so
it
it,
the
the
whole
process
is
going
to
take
a
good
bit
of
time.
It's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
study
deployment,
modeling
on
behalf
of
the
fire
department
to
figure
out.
Where
would
be
the?
Where
are
some
of
the
locations
we
can
consider,
and
then
you
have
to
hope
you
can
find
acquire
property
to
start
building
at
that
location.
So
we
need
to
get
going
on
it
and
I.
N
Thank
you.
A
few
other
questions,
so
Council
had
discussed
and
I
think
requested
it
to
come
forward
or
at
least
discussed
reducing
the
Cannabis
tax
rate,
like
other
cities
in
the
Coachella
Valley
have
done
so
that's
not
included
in
this
budget,
we're
assuming
the
same
cannabis
tax
rate.
Would
that
be
a
significant
difference
if
Council
matched
other
cities
that
we're
competing
with
yeah.
N
Yeah,
so
that
would
understand,
as
we
think,
through
Council
policy
on
on
cannabis,
Taxation
and
what
other
cities
are
doing
in
the
market
and
then
I
know.
Mayor
Pro
tem
has
asked
for
the
tot
Revenue
stream
a
portion
for
affordable
housing.
We
discussed
just
from
the
generals
the
fund
as
a
set-aside
or
a
separate
fund.
So
is
that
included
in
this
budget
or
how
should
we
think
that
through
and
plan
for
it.
H
N
Thank
you,
I
think
that
it'd
be.
It
has
my
support.
We've
asked
for
it
for
a
few
times
and
for
a
while
now
so
I'd
love
to
see
us
include
that
in
this
budget,
and
maybe
it
doesn't
matter
because
the
money
is
fungible
and
it's
just
about
we're
replacing
money
as
opposed
to
expense
and
revenue.
So
maybe
that's
okay,
but
let's
just
think
through,
especially
as
we
deploy
our
housing
and
homelessness
funds.
N
You
know
if
we
need
additional
resources
and
then
last
question
not
last
question
but
last
question
for
right
now,
just
the
library.
So
we
got
the
public
comment.
Thank
you
to
the
Friends
of
the
library
and
not
the
board
for
all
their
work,
as
well
as
our
staff.
So
do
you
think
that
the
money
we
have
right
now
set
aside
for
the
library
project
is
sufficient?
Should
we
think
through
finding
additional
money
to
protect
and
and
save
for
that
giant
project?.
H
Yeah
I,
certainly
I
I,
think
the
money
that
we
have
set
aside,
which
is
around
just
under
14
million.
You
know
we'll
cover
some
of
what
the
library
needs
in
their
renovation
I
think,
as
we
get
further
into
our
discussing
our
discussion
today
and
we
talk
financing
strategies,
I
think
that
will
also
could
potentially
be
part
of
what
we
do
at
the
library
as
well.
G
Okay-
and
let
me
just
add,
I
think
this
could
be
a
really
good
point
of
discussion
when
we
have
our
joint
meeting
with
the
measure
J
Commission
in
a
few
weeks.
It's
something
that
they've
talked
about
internally
themselves,
about
big
capital
projects
and
how
to
fund
those
so
I
I
think
there'll
be
more
discussion
on
that.
G
P
Hi
thanks
thanks
and
to
answer
your
question
directly.
No,
the
funding
doesn't
include
everything
and
our
the
grant
that
we
received
is
strictly
for
infrastructure
for
the
main
library
the
RFQ
process
is
going
quite
well.
We've
had
a
great
response,
so
the
applications
have
come
in
and
now
the
the
team
is
tasked
with
grading
and
ranking
the
candidates
to
select
an
architect
for
this
project.
P
The
things
that
aren't
included
are
things
that
actually
absolutely
have
to
happen.
Packing
Moving
storage
carpet
paint
anything
on
the
exterior,
exterior
paint.
There's
a
whole
list.
I
literally
have
a
list
of
things
that
are
not
included
but
have
to
happen
to
put
the
project
back
together.
So
the
infrastructure
Grant.
Really
just
does
you
know
the
basics
that
the
guts,
the
plumbing
electrical
sprinklers?
We
don't
have
sprinklers
in
the
in
the
building.
P
Our
fire
life
safety
all
needs
improved,
Ada
improvements,
the
restrooms,
all
of
those
things
have
to
happen,
but
there's
a
lot,
that's
not
covered
that
we'll
have
to
pick
up
and
so
we're
hoping
that
we
can
have
that
discussion
to
to
to
pledge
the
money.
And
yes,
there
are
Community
groups
that
have
my
the
friends
have
have
a
little
money,
the
foundation's
hoping
to
raise
money.
The
library
Board
of
Trustees
has
a
little
money.
It's
going
to
take
all
the
money.
Thank.
N
You
I
remember:
we
looked
over
the
scope
together
for
the
request
for
proposals
and
we
talked
about
what
wasn't
fun
did
so
it
would
be
great
to
get
a
sense
of
what
number
we're
building
to,
especially
for
the
meeting
with
measure
J.
So
we
really
can
have
a
sense.
Is
it
a
20
million?
Is
it
a
30
million
dollar
project?
You
know,
what's
that
total
estimate,
so
we
can
plan
for
it
in
our
budget
because
it
absolutely
should
be
reflected
in
this
two-year
budget.
G
Can
it
get
started
with
some
of
the
initial
infrastructure
behind
the
scenes
stuff?
We
would
hope
a
lot
of
it
would
be
able
to.
But
you
know
this
construction
Market
is
rapidly
changing.
Costs
are
rapidly
escalating
and
you
know
until
we
actually
go
out
to
bid
on
some
of
this
stuff
and
do
some
estimating
it
with
a
with
a
really
strong
scope
of
work.
It's
going
to
be,
you
know,
really
hard
to
guess.
A
number.
N
Things
I
agree,
and
so
we
just
need
to
do
the
the
financial
planning
to
get
there.
Since
we
know
we
don't
have
enough
now
and
we
know
we're
going
to
need
a
lot
more
and
so
I'd
like
to
plan,
because
what
we
have
been
doing
is
coming
up
with
projects
and
then
you
know
waiting
10
years
plus
as
we
wait
for
a
project
to
move
forward,
and
then
we
have
to
go,
find
the
money
with
a
narf
with
a
bid
and
then
it
gets
outdated
as
we
find
the
money
in
the
community.
N
I
M
A
K
A
H
So
if
it's
airport
capital
or
if
it's
wastewater
treatment,
plant
Capital,
it
will
not
be
in
here
because
their
funds
pay
for
that
separately,
with
their
own
user
fees
and
and
other
things
so
we'll
go
through
here.
The
gas
tax
fund
there's
several
funds
here
that
go
for
streets
and
transportation.
The
gas
tax
fund
is
one
of
those
that
measure
a
fund
is
another
and
the
rmra,
which
is
the
road
maintenance
and
Rehabilitation
Act.
All
of
those
have
some
impact
on
streets
and
transportation
they're
restricted
for
that
use.
H
It
is
fairly
significant
dollars,
especially
when
you
look
at
what
measure
a
brings
in
on
an
annual
basis
as
well.
We
have
the
drainage
fund,
that's
an
impact
fee
on
new
development.
That'll
go
for
I!
Believe
it's
new
development
on
vacant
land
if
I
have
that
right,
that'll
go
to
new
Drainage
Systems
so
that
those
properly
work
we
have
the
Quimby
fund,
which
is
also
an
impact
fee
on
residential
development
paid
in
lieu
of
any
green
space
or
parks
that
would
go
into
a
residential
neighborhood
that
is
restricted
for
parks
and
rec.
H
We
also
have
the
measure
J
fund,
of
course,
the
one
percent
sales
tax,
while
it
has
a
general
use
this.
The
commission
has
long
adopted
mostly
of
that
those
funds
to
be
Capital
oriented
so
most
of
the
measure.
J
funds
are
for
city
capital
projects,
and
then
we
have
their
own
Capital
fund
and
the
revenue
that
you
see
there
is
largely
reimbursed
Road
and
Bridge
expenses
from
Caltrans.
So
it's
a
significant
amount
of
dollars.
Caltrans
reimburses
the
city
for
Approved,
Road
and
Bridge
projects
to
the
tune
of
almost
90
percent.
H
H
We
also
get
a
reimbursement
back
from
cvag
I,
believe
that
goes
into
the
measure,
a
fund
and
they
reimburse
us
at
75
percent
of
any
approved
Regional
project
as
well.
So
a
lot
of
the
dollars
that
we
see
here
well,
some
of
them
are
tax
dollars,
impact
fees,
they're,
really
big
dollars,
go
for
come
from,
Caltrans
comes
from
cvag
and
that's
how
we
get
a
lot
of
the
big
large
projects
funded
in
the
Capital
Area.
So
with
that
71.8
million
dollars
in
total,
budgeted
Revenue
for
fiscal
year
24.,
the
general
fund
is
transfer
in.
H
That
is
a
transfer
in
from
the
general
fund.
Historically,
the
general
fund
supports
Capital
to
the
tune
of
two
million
dollars
per
year,
so
we're
going
to
continue
that
funding
I
think
it
was
discontinued
last
year,
but
we're
picking
it
back
up
this
year
and
then
budgeted
expenditures
is
about
83.8
million
dollars.
We're
left
with
the
ending
fund
balance
in
24
of
about
66
million
dollars,
go
down
to
the
second
half
of
the
slide.
H
Look
at
fiscal
year
25,
so
the
very
last
row
under
Revenue
total
revenue,
55.3
million
dollars
down
significantly,
but
that's
because
it
depends
on
the
projects
that
you
do.
If
you
don't
have
some
of
the
big
projects,
you're
not
going
to
give
as
much
money
back
from
Caltrans
again
there's
a
two
million
dollar
influx
from
the
general
fund,
and
then
you
have
49.2
million
dollars
in
expenditures.
You're
left
with
about
71
million
in
fund
balance
at
the
end
of
fiscal
year,
25.
Q
O
So
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
five-year
Capital
program.
This
five-year
Capital
program
has
been
around
now
for
at
least
two
three
years
last
year.
We
brought
it
forward
and
this
year,
what
we
intend
to
do
is
not
to
really
introduce
any
new
projects.
We
have
currently
over
70
projects
active
projects
in
the
five-year
CIP,
so
my
intent
is
not
to
introduce
any
new
project.
There
is
one
that
we're
bringing
back.
O
That
was
part
of
our
five-year
CIP,
which
is
a
rim
Road
winding
study,
that's
where
the
arabico
closes
down
the
residents
of
that
neighborhood
use,
Rim
road,
so
I'm,
bringing
that
project
back
other
than
that
we're
going
to
maintain
our
our
70
projects
that
we
have
and
I
say
over
70
projects
because
built
in
those
70
projects,
there's
two
or
three
areas
where
we
have
other
projects.
So,
for
example,
we
have
our
pedestrian
master
plan
and
our
local
Road
Safety
plan
each
one
of
those
has
projects
associated
with
that.
O
The
our
pedestrian
master
plan
has
34
projects
identified
throughout
the
city,
so
the
staff
and
my
staff
are
working
to
move
those
projects
forward.
So
it's
not
only
70
that
we
have,
but
within
those
70
we
have
other
smaller
projects
embedded
in
them.
Our
our
traffic
calming
program
also
involves
small
little
projects
all
over
the
city.
Those
also
take
a
lot
of
time,
and
then
they
actually
add
to
our
project
count
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
wanted
to
note
for
this
year
or
what
city
manager
said
earlier
is
very
poignant.
O
Our
project
estimation
or
estimating
our
cost
is,
is
not
on
point.
We've
been
a
lot
of
these
projects
started
a
long
time
ago.
Our
estimates
are
old
and
as
we
try
to
revise
them,
we're
not
there
yet
because
we're
not
getting
close
to
when
we're
actually
constructing
the
project.
So
we're
budgeting
we're
estimating
projecting,
essentially
for
70
projects
how
much
those
that,
how
much
that
cost
is
going
to
be
so
every
year
when
I,
look
at
the
projects,
I
take
a
look
this
year.
O
What
I
decided
to
do
is
for
the
two
fiscal
years
that
are
coming
increase,
our
request
by
30
percent,
so
I'm,
taking
each
one
of
those
budgets
that
I
would
have
normally
asked
what
I
thought
was
the
right
number
two
a
year
ago,
increasing
that
by
30
but
I'm
not
doing
it
across
the
board.
There
are
certain
projects
that
are
I've
increased
it
a
little
bit
more,
just
because
I
know
the
nature
of
the
project
and
the
cost
for
construction
in
those
areas.
O
O
Let
me
see
so
as
far
as
Staffing
we
Council
last
year
approved
two
project
managers.
Essentially
non-engineers
were
having
difficult
time
bringing
Engineers
to
the
city,
so
as
of
this
month,
I've
been
able
to
hire
two
project
managers,
but
unfortunately,
over
the
same
course
of
time,
I
lost
two
Engineers,
so
I'm,
basically
back
down
again
and
we're
advertising
for
two
Engineers.
So
with
the
staff
that
I
do
have
available,
then
I'm
going
to
show
in
the
next
slide
here.
O
In
the
last
fiscal
year,
we've
been
able
to
complete
14
capital
projects,
so
I'm
going
to
touch
a
little
bit
on
the
on
those
projects.
So
one
of
the
projects
we
were
able
to
finish
is
cycle.
Seven
traffic
signal
program-
that's
17
signals
all
over
the
the
city.
We
did
our
flashing,
Beacon
and
dynamic
Message
Board.
It's
just
completed.
It's
gonna,
we're
about
to
make
it
go,
live
our
North,
Palm,
Canyon
traffic
signal
project
project.
That's
still
in
the
works.
O
We
are
going
to
finish
it
in
the
fiscal
year,
but
we
are
going
to
have
minor
things
that
we
need
to
do
in
July.
So
I
still
counted
it
as
completed
this
year,
but
it
will
jump
into
the
next
fiscal
year.
We
did
a
city,
roof
replacement,
Pavilion,
Aqua,
Center
acoustic,
upgrade
desert
Highland
Park
project.
So
we
did
a
few
of
those
The
Swim
Center,
shade
structure.
We
also
finished
our
6.9
million
Paving
project
and
our
slurry
project
and
I
also
say
there.
O
We
have
one
Community
initiated
measure,
J
funded
project
that
was
funded
and
completed
the
The,
Visitor
Center
up
lighting
project.
So
you
can
see
last
fiscal
year
we
completed
14
projects
and
on
the
next
slide
here
in
this
next
fiscal
year,
we're
going
to
have
17
projects
under
construction,
so
we're
we're
at
a
pace
at
about
10
to
15
projects
being
constructed
every
year.
So
some
of
the
the
highlights
on
our
construction
projects
next
year
are
the
44
million
Bridge
Project,
which
is
a
big
project.
O
It's
gonna
it's
already
been
awarded,
but
we're
going
to
start
working
here
in
the
summer
and
that's
going
to
go
through
three
fiscal
years.
So
it'll
take
three
years
to
complete
the
Plaza.
Theater
renovation
is
going
to
be
under
construction.
The
hsip
cycle,
8
14
additional
traffic
signals,
will
be
under
construction.
We
have
a
major
stormline
project.
That's
going
to
go
on
Ramon
Road
next
to
the
high
school.
That's
that's
a
big
project.
That's
going
to
be
under
construction!
The
field
lighting
upgrades
was
awarded
this
year,
but
are
going
to
construction
next
year.
O
We're
also
going
to
be
working
on
the
navigation
Center.
The
article
track
sewer
and
a
few
wastewater
treatment
projects
all
under
construction.
So
with
that
I
have
those
17
projects
under
construction.
All
the
other
projects
are
in
different
phases:
we're
either
scoping
them
out
we're
planning
them
we're
designing
them
we're
working
with
our
Architects.
O
So,
in
a
nutshell,
that's
sort
of
what
I
wanted
to
present
to
you
that
we're
not
really
increasing
our
our
project
load,
but
we
do
have
a
lot
of
projects
that
we're
working
on
and
trying
to
staff
up
to
to
deliver
those
projects.
The
next
two
slides
are
a
visual.
It's
kind
of
interesting
I
watch
the
Guardians
of
the
Galaxy
movie.
So
here
is
our
project
Improvement
program
universe.
So
it's
really
giving
you
an
idea
of
the
the
projects
and
how
much
we're
spending
Andrew
put
this
together.
R
Good
evening,
council
members,
my
name
is
Andrew
budget
manager,
so
I'm
more
of
a
visual
kind
of
person
and
so
working
with
Joelle
has
been
amazing.
You
know
looking
at
all
his
projects,
tracking
everything,
but
it's
all
been
a
lot
of
numbers,
a
lot
of
just
tables
and
so
I
said
Hey.
What,
if
we
showed
kind
of
the
scope
of
each
project,
kind
of
what
we're
looking
to
allocate
to
each
project
and
how
many
projects
there
are,
if
you
notice
in
the
top
right
there's
what
I
call
the
sun?
R
That's
a
conglomeration
of
other
smaller
projects,
no
less
important,
but
just
smaller
dollar
size
of
where
we're
allocating
other
items.
So
the
globe
size
kind
of
gives
you
the
visual
representation
of
kind
of
where
we're
putting
our
dollars
a
lot
of
the
bridges
and
things
like
that
are
just
very
Capital
intensive.
So
just
to
kind
of
give
you
the
visual.
O
Right
and
the
big
visual
there
is
that
big
Globe,
the
Vista
Chino
bridge,
is
going
to
be
at
100
million
plus
dollar
project
that
we're
working
on
so
in
the
next
I'm,
hoping
to
start
constructing
in
the
next
three
four
years.
So
with
that.
That
concludes
my
presentation
and
I'm
happy
to
take
questions.
K
K
O
K
Thank
you,
one
of
the
issues
that
we
had.
That's
not
a
part
of
this
budget.
As
I
see
it
is
making
changes
to
Indian,
Canyon
and
Gene
Autry
and
that's
a
part
of
cvac
project,
but
I
just
want
to
highlight
that
we
need
to
keep
on
trying
to
find
the
federal
funding
that
will
allow
us
to
proceed
on
those
projects
right.
O
To
that
end,
I
am
on
that
team
working
with
CVC
directly
the
the
tribe
actually
reached
out
to
see.
If
we
could
use
some
of
the
funding
they
were
asking
because
they
have
less
restrictions
than
we
do
so.
I
put
the
tribe
together
with
cvag,
so
that
we
could
get
funding
and
they
might
be
able
to
to
support
us
there.
I
I,
just
made
the
connection
and
I
will
follow
up.
O
O
A
A
O
O
There
is
a
challenge
with
the
city
of
Palm.
Springs
has
a
really
active
Capital
program
and
when
you
come
to
the
city
of
Palm,
Springs
and
you're,
working
on
my
department,
you're
working
hard
you're
working
as
hard
as
the
private
sector
and
that's
misinterpret
people
don't
understand
that
that,
when
you're
working
with
with
within
what
we
have
and
all
the
work
that
the
city
has
there,
it
Demands
a
lot
of
of
your
time.
So
I
think
some
folks
might
get
scared
away.
Is.
O
The
capacity
I
have,
if
I,
if
I,
have
two
project
managers
and
then
I
already
have
two
Engineers
myself
and
two
more
I
think
we're
at
a
point
where
we're
we're
we're
we're
we're
good
I
may
need
one
or
more
one
or
two
more,
but
I
can
see
that
over
the
next
two
years,
because
I
need
to
bring
my
project
managers
in
acclimate
them
to
what
we're
doing,
because
they're
non-engineers.
They
need
to
work
with
my
engineers
and
then
I
I
lost
my
principal
engineer.
A
M
M
O
Even
if
I
hired,
four
or
five
more
so
what
we're
doing
and
that's
the
intent
of
the
five-year
CIP
is
to
look
for
five
years
and
see
where
we're
actually
going
to
be
constructing
and
then
using
our
staff
accordingly,
and
that's
what
I've
been
trying
to
do?
Okay,
so
bringing
in
five
six
doesn't
help
me
because
you
have
to
manage
all
those
folks
right.
You
have
to
be
able
to
to
we.
O
M
I
M
And
trust
me
I
I,
do
understand
how
immense
all
of
this
is.
I'm
just
wondering
what
we
could
do
to
help
on
city
council,
whether
it's
more
people
or
more
money
or
something,
because
if
you
take
seven
or
eight
years
to
do
The
Pedestrian
master
plan
you're
going
to
have
50
projects
coming
up
that
are
waiting
by
that
time.
Right
right,
yeah.
O
M
O
See
it
right,
we
didn't
attempt
to
tell
the
the
council,
so
at
this
study
session,
when
we
were
completing
projects,
I
have
and
that's
my
goal
right
to
build
when
I
build
the
staff
as
I
hire
more
staff,
I'm
able
to
then
step
back
and
actually
try
to
program
where
we're
going
to
deliver
those
projects
in
the
future.
I
want
to
probably
get
more
software
to
help
me
manage
the
projects
and
be
able
to
give
you
timelines.
M
I
think
that
would
be
extremely
helpful.
I'm
just
concerned
that
we're
sort
of
we're
never
going
to
fully
catch
up
and
by
the
time
you
get
through
these
70
projects,
we're
going
to
be
way
behind
again,
I
I
know,
for
instance,
on
the
parks
measure
J.
Last
year
there
was
money
put
aside
for
Parks
projects
that
was
never
really
allocated.
Has
that
been
Incorporated
elsewhere,
I.
O
M
O
G
G
M
O
M
G
Other
thing,
mayor,
Pro
tem,
that
I'll
make
note
of,
is
just
a
discussion
with
our
HR
department
to
do
a
comparison
and
I.
Don't
know
if
Joel
can
tell
us
now
about
how
our
salary
schedule
Compares
with
the
engineers
of
other
cities
in
the
valley
here
and
are
we
falling
behind
a
little
bit
or
not?
And
so
we'll
I'm
going
to
make
note
to
follow
up
with
staff
and
then
we'll
be
reporting.
M
Back
and
I
would
suggest
also
looking
to
see
how
the
Departments
are
structured,
because
it
sounds
to
me
like
there's
a
lot
put
on
Joel
to
to
manage
everybody,
and
maybe
a
different
structuring
of
would
get
him
more
senior
people
to
help,
so
he
doesn't
get
stuck
with
all
the
management
of
it,
but
I
think
and
some
of
these
other
things
like
the
I
I,
just
want
to
make
sure
you
have
all
the
resources.
You
need
to
do
this,
because
every
one
of
these
projects
will
come
up
in
a
council.
M
O
So,
just
for
the
road
sake,
we
are
we're
going
to
bring
the
payment
Management
program
back,
we
are
being
very
aggressive,
I
mean
I,
think
we're
one
of
the
cities
that
that
is
investing
more
in
their
roads
than
any
other
city.
So
we
have
a
project
every
year,
we're
slurrying
every
year,
so
I
think
as
a
city
we're
doing
excellent
and
we're
keeping
up
the
projects
are,
are
coming
we're
doing
them
every
year.
We're
gonna
do
a
9
million
project
with
the
new
paper
bachelor
program.
That's
coming
up
so
I
think.
M
O
M
O
Interestingly
enough,
the
real
small
projects,
the
neighborhood
traffic
coming
program,
the
little
project
like
that
they
actually
take
a
lot
more
time
of
our
you
know,
staff
times
and
and
the
major
projects,
because
the
major
projects
we
have
Consultants
we're
working
with
Consultants
along
the
entire.
You
know,
process
of
a
project,
but
when
we
get
to
the
neighborhoods,
where
we
take
that
same
staff,
member,
that's
working
on
a
30
million
dollar
project
and
then
having
to
go
work
with
the
neighborhoods,
it
does
take
significant
amount
of
time.
So
we're
trying
to
balance
that.
O
O
M
But
at
the
rate
we're
going
we're
still
going
to
be
fixing
the
37
that
we
have
right
now:
34
projects,
correct.
Okay,
all
right,
sorry,
I
thought
that
okay,
those
I
I,
appreciate
I
know
this
is
a
lot
I
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
have
the
resources
to
do
this
because
everything
comes
down
to
the
infrastructure
here,
and
so,
as
we
go
into
an
uncertain
economy,
we
should
just
try
and
make
sure
we
get
as
much
done
earlier
before
it
gets
even
more
expensive.
So
thank
you
for
all
this
great
work.
N
N
You
know
for
me,
it's
like
City
Hall
and
the
outside
of
City
Hall
I
mean
there's
so
many
things
that
are
identified
in
that
study,
showing
you
know
poor,
our
poor
quality
or
current
status
of
so
many
of
our
projects,
and
so
we're
just
so
far
down
into
this
hole.
So
I
appreciate
Joelle,
because
you've
come
and
you've
put
a
lot
of
structure.
Sure
to
this.
N
That
was
that
was
messy
before
and
so
we're
just
trying
to
dig
ourselves
out
of
this
hole
and
in
one
way
we
we
never
will
and
right
and
we'll
just
continue
on,
but
I
I
agree,
because
my
incentives
are
to
deliver
projects
to
the
community
that
they're
asking
for
now,
and
they
don't
always
understand
it
takes
many
many
years
to
get
them
even
in
the
queue
so
I've
seen.
I
applaud
your
very
small
Department's
work.
I
think
you've
delivered
excellent
projects.
N
N
You
know
aged
out.
People
are
aging
out
of
the
needs
that
we
have
so
I
would
just
urge
the
city
manager
and
Joelle
and
your
departments
to
come
together.
Like
is
there
creative
thinking
we
can
use?
You
know
when
we
needed
police
officers,
we
did
a
30
000
hiring
bonus.
You
know
we're
going
to
have
to
have
a
lot
more
police
officers
if
we
continue
to
have
bad
in
intersections
that
need
work
that
are
causing
more
traffic
accidents
right
so
like.
N
N
Thinking
around
how
to
plan
priorities
and
I
think
we
can
support
you
right
if
it's
a
change
of
the
neighborhood
program,
let's
bring
that
forward.
You
know
I
think
our
residents
want
progress
and
then
sometimes
we
pick
easier
quicker
progress.
People
are
really
happy
to
get
that
intersection
at
the
corner
or
whatever
it
is.
But
what
they
really
want
is
like
to
reduce
pedestrian
deaths,
and
so
sometimes
it's
harder
to
do
that
more
impactful
change,
but
I'm
just
would
love
to
support
it
and
I.
N
Think
council
is
saying
we'd
love
to
support
you
doing
that
creative
work
around
how
to
solve
this
problem
and
I.
Think
some
of
those
comparison
figures
would
be
really
helpful
because
we
do
get
questions
about
other
cities.
You
know.
Obviously,
other
cities
are
newer
cities,
they
don't
have
the
Aging
infrastructure.
They
are
not
full
service
cities,
so
they're
only
doing
a
few
and
they
don't
have
all
the
Fire
Department
fire
stations
and
police.
N
You
know
all
of
that,
so
that
kind
of
comparison
would
be
helpful
as
we
explain
to
the
community
how
well
we're
doing
and
how
we
are
delivering,
but
we
do
have
a
problem
to
solve,
which
is
that
whole?
And
you
didn't
you
didn't
save
it.
You've
said
it
before
for
the
public
following
along
the
numbers.
Are
the
year
that
it
was
implemented,
it
was
initiated.
A
O
G
H
Thank
you,
Scott
yeah,
so
I
want
to
introduce
Suzanne
Harrell.
She
is
the
city's
financial
advisor
she's
with
Harold
and
Company
advisors.
She's
been
with
the
city
for
30
years,
wow
30
years,
so
she's
been
a
part
of
every
debt
issuance
or
debt
that
we
have
on
our
books
today,
with
the
exception
of
the
pencil
obligation,
bonds,
I
believe
so
she's
here
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
capital
projects,
give
us
an
overview
of
financing.
S
S
S
S
You
can
use
intergovernmental
Revenue
like
grants
which
you're
doing
for
some
of
your
library
expenditures,
and
then
you
can
borrow,
which
is
issuing
municipal
bonds
by
issuing
municipal
bonds.
You,
you
know,
bonds
provide
a
long-term
financing
for
for
Capital,
with
a
very
long
useful
life.
Think
about
your
house,
you
don't
typically
pay
cash
for
your
house
or
save
up
cash
to
buy
a
house.
You
typically
get
a
mortgage
so
that
you
can
get
into
the
house
and
enjoy
it
for
the
30
years
that
you're
paying
for
it.
S
So
cities
have
two
kinds
of
municipal
bonds
that
they
typically
use
to
fund
general
fund
type
projects.
So
this
is
not
airport
or
wastewater
treatment
plant
things
like
that
have
their
own
Revenue
sources,
but
just
typical
general
fund
projects.
One
are
General
obligation,
bonds.
These
are
secured
by
a
property
tax
levy.
They're
voter
approved
the
city
has
no
General
obligation,
bonds,
you'll,
probably
remember
seeing
them
for
the
college
has
some
general
obligation.
Bonds
and
the
school
districts
have
Geo
bonds.
S
Typically,
cities
borrow
by
issuing
what
we
call
lease
revenue
bonds,
and
so
the
lease
revenue
bonds
are
issued
by
a
city's
financing
Authority
and
their
secure.
The
payment
is
secured
by
lease
payments
that
the
city
pays
to
the
financing
authority
to
lease
various
City
assets.
It's
the
lease
payments
are
subject
to
annual
appropriation
and
therefore
they're.
They
don't
violate
any
state
constitutional
debt
limits
and
you
can
allocate.
Although
the
general
fund
is
responsible
for
the
payment,
you
can
allocate
the
payment
to
other
funds.
You
do
this
right
now,
with
your
measure
J
fund
it.
S
S
The
financing
of
the
city's
financing
Authority
board
of
directors
is
the
same
as
the
city
council
members
to
authorize
the
bonds
there's
approval
by
resolution
by
both
the
authority
and
the
city
council,
and
if
it's
a
new
project,
it
requires
a
public
hearing
and
then
it's
approximately
a
60-day
process
from
that
point
to
between
getting
the
city
councils
to
consider
and
approve
the
project
get
getting
through
the
credit
rating
process,
structuring
the
bonds,
marketing
the
bonds
selling
the
bonds
and
and
funding
the
project.
It's
it's
a
total
of
about
60
days.
S
S
So
I
thought
this
might
be
interesting
to
you
to
see
kind
of
what
interest
rates
are
today.
So
the
city?
Doesn't
you
know,
interest
interest?
Cost
is
the
most
significant
cost
factor
in
any
borrowing,
and
interest
rates
vary
based
on
your
credit
rating
and
how
many
years
to
maturity
it
is
so.
The
city
doesn't
really
have
that
much
control
over
its
interest
rate.
In
terms
of
you
know,
your
credit
rating
is
double
A
and
that's
going
to
you
know,
cost
a
certain
amount
of
Interest.
S
You
know
an
example
of
of
you
know
how
your
how
you
might
fund
some
of
your
infrastructure
projects,
but
I
thought
again.
This
might
be
helpful
to
see
you
know
how
much
does
a
million
dollars
of
bonds
what's
The
Debt
Service
on
that?
What's
the
annual
payment
over
10
years,
it'd
be
a
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand
a
year
for
10
years
over
30
years,
the
interest
rates
higher,
but
the
debt
service
is
obviously
lower.
S
Other
financing
costs,
in
addition
to
interest,
is
something
that
we
call
cap
that
we
call
capitalized
interest.
So
during
the
construction
of
any
asset,
the
city
is
prohibited
from
making
these
lease
payments
that
we
that
I
mentioned
that
secure,
The,
Debt
Service
on
the
bonds,
so
you're
prohibited
from
making
those
lease
payments,
because
you
have
to
have
use
and
occupancy
of
the
facility
that
you're
leasing.
So
in
order
to
deal
with
that
limitation,
there's
a
couple
of
ways
you
can
fund
your
project
that
needs
capitalized
interest.
S
If
you
you
can
borrow
to
pay
interest
during
the
construction
period,
so
you
can
add
to
the
financing
say
two
years
or
two
and
a
half
years
of
Interest
costs
and
that
will
kind
of
pay
for
itself
during
the
construction
period.
You
can
also
set
aside
funds
that
you
have
on
hand
in
advance
to
pay
to
pay
interest
during
that
con
during
the
construction
period.
S
So
there's
kind
of
three
ways
you
can
deal
with
the
capitalized
interest
requirement
and
again
how
much
capitalized
interest
depends
on
how
long
the
construction
is,
and
you
know
what
the
lease
asset
that
you're
are
you
building
it
are
you
going
to,
you
know,
use
an
existing
asset
and
then
it
also
depends
on.
When
do
you
want
the
city
to
start
making
these
payments
it?
May
you
know,
depending
on
the
debt
service
that
you
already
have,
do
you
want
to
start
paying
right
away?
Do
you
you
know?
S
S
Some
other
financing
costs
are
cost
of
issuance,
which
are
Bond,
Council,
Municipal
advisor
and
the
other
people
that
you
need
to
help.
You
issue
the
bonds
and
those
are
generally
fixed
fees
based
on
the
size
of
the
bonds,
and
they
range
from
you
know
about
one
percent
to
one
and
a
half
percent
of
the
size
of
the
bonds.
Depending
on
how
big
it
is,
obviously
the
larger
the
size,
the
less
the
percentage,
and
then
there
can
be
a
Debt
Service
Reserve
fund
required
it's
usually
equal
to
one
year's
death
service.
S
We
they
set
it
aside
with
a
trustee.
In
case
you
have
financial
difficulties,
you
don't
aren't
actually
required
to
have
that
for
your
current
general
fund
financings,
because
you
have
a
double
a
credit
rating.
There
were
times
in
the
past
where
you
had
less
than
a
you
had
an
a
credit
rating
and
we
would
actually
have
to
borrow
money
and
set
it
aside
for
that,
but
because
of
your
current
credit
rating,
you
don't
have
to
do
that.
So
that's
a
cost.
You
get
to
avoid.
S
So
this
part
of
the
presentation
kind
of
just
deals
with
you
know
how
you
can
structure
your
debt
going
forward
to.
You
know,
make
the
most
of
your
financial
situation
in
terms
of
this
fire
station
and
Library.
So
I
thought
I'd
start
out
with
what
your
existing
bond
and
Lease
debt
Services
now
principal
amount.
S
You
have
about
a
hundred
and
forty
million
dollars
of
bonds
outstanding,
but
about
a
hundred
million
of
that
is
going
to
be
paid
off
within
10
years,
and
that's
that's
truly
significant,
so
you
can
see
I
show
the
existing
Debt
Service
I
show
how
much
we
talked
about
you
know
is
being
paid
for
measure
J,
so
the
net
general
fund
cost.
So
you
can
see
down
in
20,
35
36,
the
last
item
there
that's
the
last
payment
on
the
convention
center
expansion
financing.
S
S
So
what
I
wanted
to
do
was
kind
of
just
create
two
Debt
Service
scenarios
for
you
just
so
you
can
get
a
feel
for
how
you
know
the
different
options
for
structuring
that
we're
going
to
look
at
depending
on
what
your
goals
are.
So
for
my
example
here
I
said
well,
let's
what
happens
if
we
issue
Bonds
in
2024,
and
we
want
50
million
dollars
for
the
project
fund,
but
the
Project's
two-year
cap
two-year
construction
period,
so
we're
gonna,
we're
gonna
use
one
of
those
techniques
for
funding
capitalized
interest.
S
Then
I
did
a
2025
Series.
So
in
2025
you
might
issue
20
million
dollars
for
the
library
project
and
again
two-year
construction
period.
So
we've
got
two
and
a
half
years
of
capitalized
interest.
We
usually
go
six
months
beyond
the
construction
for
in
case
some
you
know,
some
delay
happens
during
the
construction
period
again
30
years,
but
in
this
case
measure
J
is
going
to
contribute
50
percent
of
The
Debt
Service
until
the
measure
J
tax
expires.
S
S
S
Oh
yes,
when
I
mean
it's
set,
when
you
issue
the
bonds,
the
rates
are
going
to
be
whatever
they
are
at
that
time,
whether
if
you're
borrowing
for
30
years
in
my
example,
they
would
be
four
percent.
If
you
had
a
double
a
credit
rating,
okay,
they
would
be
2.55
if
you
borrowed
for
only
10
years.
You
can't
really
impact
that.
S
M
I
M
S
M
M
M
And
the
second
point
I
will
make
is,
since
the
measure
J
is
funded
by
a
sales
tax,
that
it
also
is
important
to
focus
on
economic
development
and
that
we
have
that
sales
tax
measure
J
started
out,
8
million
it's
now
20
million
a
year
that
has
to
keep
at
that
level
or
go
up,
and
we
can't
get
it
back
to
the
8
million
that
we
used
to
have.
So
that's
my
comment
to
the
city
manager,
but
you're,
since
it
was
part
of.
N
Councilmember
holstich.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation
really
appreciate
your
service
to
our
city.
Thank
you.
So
I
agree
with
your
comments.
Thank
you
for
saying
that.
So,
knowing
that
measure
J
will
sunset,
though
Our
intention,
you
know
we
need
to
discuss
as
a
community.
N
We
have
such
a
small
window
there
to
work
with
with
sales
tax
dollars
and
directing
them
to
Palm
Springs
versus,
like
the
overall
County
or
another
agency,
which
also
have
been
looking
at
sales.
Tax
measures
I
mean
increasing
sales
tax.
So
no
thinking
that
we
might
want
to
renew
it.
I
would
also
love
to
plan
on
what
we
need
to
do
if
it
impacts
our
bonding
capabilities
to
extend
it
and
when
we
could
do
that
and
what
that
would
look
like.
N
That
would
be
obviously
a
public
process
and
a
vote
by
the
public
when
I
joined
city
council
about
five
years
ago
or
our
city
manager
at
the
time,
said
that
we
were
sort
of
at
capacity
for
our
debt
and
our
bonding.
And
so
that's
why
I
at
least
have
been
looking
at
financing
and
saving
funds
for
measure
J
and
other
where,
since
we
have
used
significant
capacity
to
bond
for
other
projects,
right
so
I
think
I'm.
Sorry
I'm,
not
a
finance
person,
I'm
a
lawyer,
so
my
brain
was
trying
with
all
the
information.
I
N
You
did
and
I
think
one
of
your
graphs
was
about
that.
But
could
you
explain
in
detail
just
with
specificity
or
bonding
capacity
and
how
much
capacity
we
have
to
add
like?
Are
we
able
going
to
be
able
to
do
two
projects,
two
large
projects,
like
a
library
and
a
fire
station?
What
does
that
actually
look
like
well.
S
As
I
mentioned
your
you
know,
I
I
wouldn't
recommend
increasing
the
general
fund
contribution
towards
Debt
Service,
because
that's
a
you
know,
that's
a
significant
amount
of
money.
It's
about
10
million
dollars
a
year,
but
measure
J
is
I,
mean
I
I
almost
view
that
as
one
time
money
outside
the
general
fund.
The
other
thing
is,
as
I
mentioned,
you
know
in
10
years
you're
going
to
be
paying
down
a
hundred
million
dollars
worth
of
principal
amount
of
your
bonds,
and
that
does
free
up
a
you
know.
S
N
K
K
I
think
what
we're
looking
at
is:
what's
the
trade-off
of
the
increase
in
additional
construction
costs
that
we're
going
to
see
over
time
versus
the
advantages
of
getting
in
now
and
paying
that
higher
interest
rate.
What
would
be
helpful
to
me
in
making
a
decision
as
to
what's
the
right
trade-off
would
be
to
have
some
comparative
reports
on
how
our
indebtedness,
Compares
with
other
municipalities,
most
particularly
municipalities
that
have
tourism-based
economies
such
as
as
ours
and
I'm
intrigued
by
these
opportunities,
but
I
really
do
want
to
take
and
and
see
more.
K
We've
talked
about
the
criticality
of
measure
J
and
going
back
to
the
public
to
make
it
permanent.
But
that
is
also
facing
the
headwind
next
year
that
we
are
likely
to
have
California
Business
Roundtable
initiative
on
the
ballot
which
could,
if
it's
passed
and
God
forbid,
that
it
be
passed
that
we
would
have
a
significant
change
in
what
it
would
take
to
to
be
able
to
pass
such
an
initiative.
A
H
H
You
get
even
further
into
the
increases
because
of
all
the
initiatives
and
the
growth
the
airport
has
experienced
and
and
is
going
to
experience
so
33.9
million
in
fiscal
year,
23,
48.8
and
24..
That's
a
44
increase
and
then
60.4
million,
which
is
a
24
increase
over
24.,
so
significant
growth,
significant
Revenue
growth,
significant
expense
of
growth
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
so
Harry
and
Victoria
can
give
you
a
lot
more
detail
in
what
those
numbers
mean.
Q
Good
evening,
Madam
mayor
and
mayor
Pro,
tem
and
Council
a
couple
things,
so
the
budget
that
you
see
in
front
of
you
is
a
reflection,
a
direct
reflection
of
the
new
lease
that
we
negotiated
with
the
airlines.
Historically
we'd
been
under
a
residual
agreement
with
the
airlines
that
rate
structure
has
since
changed,
which
then
changed
the
way
we
applied
those
revenues
to
our
operating
costs.
Q
So
we've
budgeted
we're
anticipating
long-term
growth
of
about
six
percent
year
over
year
with
the
airport,
but
for
this
fiscal
year
and
for
or
for
the
coming
fiscal
year
and
next
fiscal
year
we're
looking
at
about
1.5
percent
growth.
We
wanted
to
be
a
little
conservative,
given
the
economic
environment
right
now
on
the
operating
side.
Obviously
we're
asking
for
upwards
of
40
positions.
Q
We
really
took
a
look
at
what
the
other
airports
of
our
size
and
our
caliber
were
doing,
we're
looking
at
Staffing
levels
of
about
100
between
140
and
220
positions
for
those
airports,
so
at
69
ft's
we
fell
well
short
of
that
for
Palm
Springs.
On
the
capital
side,
we
benefited
a
lot
from
a
lot
of
the
infrastructure
funding
from
the
bil
infrastructure
law
a
couple
years
ago.
So,
in
addition
to
our
AIP
funding,
we
get
about
4.1
million
dollars
year
over
year
in
entitlement
funds.
Q
In
addition
to
discretionary
funding,
we
also
benefited
from
an
additional
5.2
million
dollars
for
the
last
couple
of
years.
Nbil
funds
and
that'll
continue
for
the
next
three
years,
so
Victoria
will
dig
into
those
numbers
a
little
bit
more,
but
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
set
the
stage
for
where
we
were
heading.
T
My
name
is
Victoria
Carpenter
I'm,
the
airport
Administration
manager
for
the
Palm
Springs
International
Airport,
on
behalf
of
the
Palm
Springs
International
Airport
I'm
pleased
to
report
that
our
estimated
fiscal
year
23
actuals
show
a
surplus
of
19.7
million,
which
represents
a
significant
24
increase
compared
to
the
fiscal
year
23
revised
budget.
This
Surplus
is
a
result
of
our
diligent
efforts
to
improve
our
operations
and
generate
Revenue.
T
This
plan
includes
identifying
the
best
use
of
vacant
property
and
developing
it
to
generate
additional
revenue
for
the
airport
as
a
result
of
our
successful
financial
performance
and
the
need
to
continue
to
beautify
the
airport
and
the
expanding
operational
needs.
We
are
requesting
an
additional
49
positions,
as
Mr
Barrett
stated
over
the
next
two
fiscal
years
to
help
address
passenger
capacity
and
operational
constraints,
some
of
which
include
three
fire
captains,
a
project
manager
and
sanitation
Representatives.
T
These
new
positions
will
enable
us
to
provide
better
service
to
our
passengers
and
to
enhance
our
overall
operations
to
include
improving
the
cleanliness
of
the
airport.
Moreover,
we
have
several
robust
capital
projects
planned
for
fiscal
year,
24
and
25,
which
will
enable
us
to
improve
and
beautify
our
facilities
and
infrastructure
to
better
accommodate
the
needs
of
our
passengers.
T
Slide
16
shows
the
airport
total
passengers
on
a
fiscal
year
basis
with
the
projected
fiscal
year,
budgets,
24
and
25
escalating
at
a
conservative,
1.5
percent
growth
rate.
One
of
the
primary
reasons
for
our
revenue
and
expenditures
growth
is
the
increased
passenger
traffic
we
have
experienced
over
the
past
year.
Despite
the
challenges
posed
by
the
pandemic,
the
airport
has
seen
a
steady
increase
in
passenger
numbers
as
people
resume
their
travel
plans.
T
Historically,
our
airport
total
passengers
for
fiscal
year
19
was
2.5
million.
Then
after
the
pandemic
fiscal
year,
22
ended
with
over
2.8
million
passengers.
We
are
anticipating
ending
fiscal
year
23,
with
approximately
3.2
million
passengers,
a
16
increase
when
compared
to
fiscal
year
22..
This
increase
in
traffic
has
directly
translated
into
increased
revenue
from
airline
rates,
parking
rates,
rental,
car
fees
and
other
related
non-airline
fees,
as
well
as
the
increases
in
the
operational
and
capital
expenditures.
T
Revenues
continue
to
increase
as
passenger
traffic
increases
over
fiscal
year.
24
and
25.
total
operating
revenues
for
fiscal
year
24
are
budgeted
at
62.4
million,
an
increase
of
15.4
million
or
33
percent
over
the
fiscal
year
23
revised
budget,
the
revenue
reflects
three
sources:
Airline
revenue
of
21
million
non-airland
revenue
of
35
million
and
non-operating
covet
relief,
Grant
revenue
of
6.2
million
fiscal
year.
25
operating
revenues
are
budgeted
at
69
million,
an
increase
of
6.6
million
or
11
percent,
of
which
27.4
million
represents
Airline
revenue
and
41.8
million
is
from
non-airline
revenue.
T
T
Non-Aireland
revenue
is
expected
to
increase
by
4.9
million
or
10
percent
in
fiscal
year
24
as
a
result
of
car
rental,
Revenue,
new
retail
and
food
and
beverage
concessions
and
parking
revenue.
Non-Operating
revenue
is
expected
to
be
exhausted
by
fiscal
year
25,
and
that
includes
the
coveted
relief
funds
that
are
no
longer
going
to
be
available
in
fiscal
year.
25.
T
Total
operating
expenditures
for
fiscal
year
24
are
budgeted
at
48
million,
which
address
the
airport's
overall
strategies,
initiatives,
initiatives
and
mandated
obligations
and
reflect
an
increase
of
13.6
million
40
percent
of
the
FY
24
operating
expense
budget
from
the
FY
23
revised
budget.
In
addition,
fy25
operating
expenses
are
projected
to
increase
by
4.1
million
10
percent
over
the
fiscal
year
24
budget.
This
increase
reflects
the
hiring
of
27
new
positions,
a
wage
and
salary
increase
required
under
the
negotiated
contract
agreements.
T
For
the
record,
I'd
like
to
reflect
a
change
in
the
staff
report,
the
airport
currently
has
a
total
of
nine
capital
projects
that
are
in
progress.
The
staffer
report
reflects
seven.
This
includes
the
airport
master
plan,
restroom
renovation,
common
use
and
carpet
renovation
baggage,
claim
and
baggage
handling
system
design.
The
airport
intends
to
pursue
about
four
point:
42.7
million
in
capital
expenditures
and
fiscal
year,
24
and
96
million
in
fiscal
year
25..
T
In
total,
the
airport
will
request
about
86
million
in
federal
grants
to
fund
the
capital
expenses.
Some
projects
to
highlight
during
the
upcoming
years
include
zero
emission
buses
main
terminal,
facade,
restoration
and
HVAC
infrastructure
replacement.
These
projects
will
include
the
expansion
of
our
terminal
facilities,
also
upgrading
our
parking
facilities
and
implementing
new
technologies
to
improve
our
operations.
T
T
This
program
will
fund
public
art
installations
that
one
that
will
enhance
the
airport's
Ambiance
and
provide
an
immersive
experience
for
our
passengers.
In
conclusion,
we're
proud
of
the
progress
we
have
made
and
we
are
committed
to
continuing
our
efforts
to
enhance
our
operations
and
provide
excellent
customer
service
to
our
passengers.
And
we
want
to
take
thank
the
city
council
for
your
ongoing
support.
N
You,
thanks
for
all
your
work
on
this
I
think
it
really
looks.
Excellent
I
appreciate
that
your
aggressive
might
not
be
the
right
word,
but
aggressively
investing
in
the
airport,
I
think
that's
absolutely
right
and
so
I
really
like
the
budget.
That's
been
presented
and
appreciate
the
Investments
and
the
focus
on
Capital,
Improvements
and
art
and
expansion,
opportunities
and
I
think
that
forward.
Looking
vision
is
so
needed
at
the
airport.
N
The
last
three
or
four
years
have
been
weird
and
so
I
would
appreciate
just
a
longer
perspective,
especially
because
we
have
a
cyclical
tourism
economy,
and
so
you
know
we
really
have
to
think
through
10
years
and
what
those
cycles
look
like
as
the
economy,
you
know
Ebbs
and
wanes
and
flows,
and
so
I
love
just
information
as
we
think
through
predicting
how
those
passenger
levels
will
continue
and
or
if
they'll
rise.
Just
that
perspective.
N
K
Q
So
that's
a
very
good
question:
we're
dealing
with
the
same
problem
that
Joel
has
right
now
with
you
know,
retaining
talent
and
hiring
talent
and
figuring
out
how
to
recruit
Talent.
We
don't
have
those
resources
in
place
right
now.
We
are
working
on
contracts
as
well
as
hiring
staff
support
for
that,
but
they're
currently
not
in
place
now.
G
And
a
council
member
I
made
out.
That
was
one
of
the
reasons
when
we
had
discussions
with
our
HR
department
of
actually
hiring
an
HR
professional
dedicated
just
to
the
airport,
to
work
on
the
filling
of
all
of
his
positions
and
Harry.
Just
as
similar
as
Joel
Joel
mentioned.
You
know,
as
we
looking
at
at
anything
and
everything
can
we
contract
out
for
engineers?
Can
we
contract
out
for
project
managers?
K
So
one
of
the
issues
not
to
bring
up
things
that
have
gone
wrong,
but
we
we
made
a
massive
investment
in
baggage
handling
and
found
that
it
needed
to
be
much
bigger
by
the
time
it
opened.
So
that's
a
learning
experience
a
rough
learning
experience,
but
it
certainly
tells
us,
as
we
move
forward
with
these
plans.
We
need
to
be
aggressive
in
terms
of
our
imagination
as
to
what
the
future
demand
is
going
to
be
and
make
sure
that
we're
building
excess
capacity
in
order
to
be
able
to
handle
that.
N
Holstich,
thank
you.
Sorry,
I
forgot
my
question
as
I
was
so
excited
about
your
plans.
Can
we
talk
about
maintenance?
So
I
saw
maintenance
is
like
two
percent
of
the
budget.
I
think
the
overall
budget
swells.
So
it
reduces
in
proportionality
for
the
second
year
and
in
this
budget.
So
you
could
just
talk
about.
Is
that
sufficient?
Do
we
need
more
attention
to
maintenance?
I
know
we're
dealing
with
the
same
issues
with
other
City
facilities
of
Aging
infrastructure
and
just
aging,
and
thank
you.
N
Q
A
lot
of
the
delayed
maintenance
or
the
infrastructure
deficit
that
we've
had
in
the
past,
we're
trying
to
capture
those
in
new
development
as
we
go
along,
so
we're
trying
to
combine
those
two
as
we
move
forward.
Frankly,
that's
going
to
take
a
little
bit
of
calibration
from
time
to
time.
We
do
have
a
lot
of
delayed
maintenance
on
the
airport,
but
we're
working
through
those
processes
and
on
a
daily
basis,
really,
as
we
start
planning
out
the
future
of
the
airport.
N
N
Q
Up
of
the
facilities,
we
have
a
full
maintenance
team
in
place
responsible
for
the
terminal
and
the
Airfield.
An
idea
behind
the
additional
Staffing
is
that
we
would
start
to
car
compartmentalize
that
maintenance
division
so
that
we
can
focus
those
resources
specifically
on
those
areas
and
we've
also
not
only
taking
some
of
our
maintenance
personnel
and
train
them
up
on
some
of
the
things
that
we
historically
have
contracted
out.
But
we've
also
implemented
new
contracts
to
help
support
some
of
those
those
other
areas
that
we
have
neglected
in
the
past
great.
N
Thank
you.
It
would
be
helpful
for
me.
I,
don't
know,
I,
don't
want
to
create
a
lot
of
extra
work,
but
if
it
is
for
staff
like
just
comparable
information
too,
so
we
can
know
I'm
sure
you're,
bringing
us
forward
best
practices.
That's
why
we
have
you
as
experts,
but
we
are
not
experts
and
so
it'd
be
helpful
to
have
just
you
know.
What
is
that
percentage?
We
should
be
spending
on
maintenance
and
you
know
comps
there
and
then
just
to
flag
one.
Q
J
Q
I
R
Q
Q
We
did
raise
the
CFC
for
the
rental
car
companies,
but
that
was
the
only
rate
that
we
raised
for
them,
and
then
we
kept
the
rates
flat
for
the
airlines
as
well,
so
we're
actually
trying
to
play
catch-up
on
some
of
that
stuff,
and
most
of
the
tenants
are
aware
that
that
was
coming.
They
benefited
during
the
pandemic,
but
now
it's
time
to
to
True
up
on.
J
M
Q
A
couple
things
actually
so
the
first
is:
we
are
underway
on
an
FIS
feasibility
study.
It's
broken
into
two
phases.
The
first
phase
was
through
visit,
greater
Palm
Springs,
so
they're
kind
of
coordinating
that
with
the
consultant
and
then
the
second
phase
turns
over
to
the
airport,
to
figure
out
how
we
would
Implement
that
here
at
Palm
Springs,
so
that
we're
looking
another
six
or
seven
months
before.
We
really
have
some
reports
on
that.
M
Q
M
Q
Q
Years,
five
years,
so,
regardless
of
what
happens,
they
owe
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
for
those
five
years.
Our
non-signatory
carriers
are
a
little
bit
different
situation.
They
have
they're
on
a
month-to-month
agreement,
but
right
now
most
of
the
airlines
are
reporting
really
really
strong
revenues.
So
I
don't
see
a
situation
right
now,
at
least
where
we
would
see
any
of
the
airlines
pull
out.
M
Q
M
Now
so
I
would
suggest
as
you're
looking
at
this
Arts
fund
and
we're
looking
at
potentially
the
tribe.
Having
a
welcoming
and
I
know,
we
have
a
new
logo
and
and
we're
gonna
obviously
have
to
work
within,
spacing
things
that
and
we're
going
to
have
new
concessions
and
we're
going
to
have
a
lot
of
different
stuff
happening.
I
know
this
week
we're
going
to
see
about
new
kiosks
and
bounce
member
holster
to
talk
about
carpet.
M
Although
I,
like
the
Toronto
floors,
better
I
would
look
at
having
somebody
who
is
specifically
charged
with
with
the
design
and
your
the
design.
I
don't
mean
physical
design
but
Aesthetics
of
the
airport,
because
it
really,
as
we
have
the
most
beautiful
airport
and
it's
the
most
wonderful
experience
and
as
we
expand,
we
need
to
make
sure
we
don't
lose
that
design,
aesthetic
that
was
there
and-
and
it's
obviously
going
to
be
a
big
Challenge
and
a
small
airport
as
we
have
grown
so
significantly.
M
So
if
you
want
an
extra
person,
I
would
push
for
that
too.
So
but
I
think
that
is
something
to
look
at,
because
managing
an
Arts
fund
is
going
to
be
very
hard
to
do
it
and
making
the
decisions
in
context
of
all
the
other
design
elements
that
are
going
on
so
I
would
just
keep
that
in
mind,
but
it's
very
exciting
to
see
how
everything's,
growing
and
and
and
operationally,
it's
really
seemed
as
handle
the
expansion
very
well
just
a
few
unavoidable
glitches.
M
N
Q
The
logo
itself
and
its
application,
we
do
have
ongoing
support
for
that,
so
we're
working
with
the
consultant
right
now.
Actually,
in
fact,
they
presented
me
with
some
business
cards
today
on
those
applications
and
where
those
uses
might
be
and
how
we
would
use
them
in
terms
of
what
mayor
poor
Tim
was
referring
to
in
terms
of
the
design
standards
of
the
facility.
We
will
need
to
bring
somebody
in
for
that,
whether
it's
someone
on
staff
or
contract
out,
but
we're
open
to
doing
that.
Thank.
N
You
I
think
those
are
really
good
points
and
really
should
be
considered
as
we
grow.
We
need
to
preserve
the
unique
character
and
make
sure
it
it's
on
brand
one
other
question
about:
if
I
can
I
just
have
you
sorry,
I
got
excited
about
the
airport
from
all
this
work
composting
and
all
of
our
sort
of
green
purchasing
work.
We
heard
about
how
it's,
how
your
have
it
planned
for
your
Capital
improvement
with
the
buses
and
things
like
that,
but
is
the
airport
required
to
do
composting?
N
G
Council
members,
so
that
concludes
our
our
portion
of
the
program.
Obviously
we're
available
for
any
and
all
additional
questions
that
council
members
might
have.
The
one
thing
I
will
say
is
tomorrow:
we'll
have
all
of
these
presentations
on
our
finance
website
for
the
public
to
look
at
and
review
I.
Don't
think
that
should
be
a
problem,
and
so
yes.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
this
time
we'll
go
ahead
and
if
there's
a
council
members
that
have
other
questions
or
comments,
we
can
have
a
more
General
discussion
about
this.
I
do
want
to
just
start
by
mentioning
that
I
think
it
is
really
important
that
we
are
completing
current
projects,
as
we
saw
there
is
that
long
list
of
of
CIP,
and
so
many
of
those
people
have
been
waiting
for
for
a
long
time.
A
A
A
So
how
do
we
really
come
up
with
some
kind
of
comprehensive
plan
that
maybe
the
measure
J
commission
might
be
interested
in
assisting
with
to
talk
to
our
young
voters?
Our
soon-to-be
voters,
rather
as
well
as
our
current
voters,
about
the
different
projects
that
are
that
are
going
on
so
that
we
aren't
in
a
position
to
be
worried
that
we
won't
have
any
of
this
Revenue
coming
in
and
then
10
years
from
now.
So
I
really
appreciate
mayor
Pro
tem,
raising
this
several
times
now,
all
right
council
member
to
heart,
I,
saw
your
hand
up.
I
J
Weeks,
eight
weeks
and
and
I
I,
just
I
say
thank
you
for
putting
together
and
working
with
our
staff
to
really
put
together
a
comprehensive,
the
comprehensive
budget
and
allowing
us
this
opportunity
for
the
study
session,
because
I
think
it's
a
lot
of
work
has
gone
into
this
and
I
appreciate
that
and
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
even
eight
weeks
only
you
were
able
to
work
with
our
team
and
get
that
done.
So,
thank
you
all
for
putting
the
the
energy
into
making
it
happen.
I.
J
G
I
think
a
couple
things
will
happen
now
for
a
while.
We're
I
was
talking
to
our
assistant
city
manager,
she
and
I,
and
others.
We've
been
trying
to
take
notes
of
some
of
your
questions
and
follow-up
things
we'll
try
and
put
some
of
that
together,
maybe
in
the
form
of
a
memorandum
and
send
it
out
to
all
of
you.
So
you
can
just
see
any
follow-up
that
that
you
might
have
requested.
That
may
generate
some
more
discussion
and
then,
of
course,
our
next
meeting
I
think
can
be
pretty
interesting.
G
That
will
be
with
all
of
the
members
of
The
Measure
J
commission
that
will
be
here
and
I.
Think
that
would
be
a
good
follow-up,
Lively
conversation
with
them
about
some
of
the
things
that
our
financial
advisors
talk
to
us
about.
I've
attended
the
last
couple
of
measure,
J,
commission
meetings
and
I
know
some
of
the
commission
members.
There
have
expressed
interest
in
trying
to
do
bigger
projects
faster,
quicker
and
not
get
too
bogged
down
in
a
lot
of
smaller
things.
G
So
I
think
you
may
hear
that
from
some
of
the
some
of
their
Commissioners
about
that
when
they
get
together
and
potentially,
we
can
ask
Miss
Harrell
to
come
back
for
that
joint
session
and
talk
a
little
more
about
some
of
the
financing
strategies
that
we
might
talk
about.
One
of
the
things
that
struck
me
and
I
was
going
to
ask
her.
G
It
won't
make
sense
for
us
to
go
out
to
the
bond
market
for
trying
to
finance
these
two
projects
until
we
know
exactly
what
the
cost
is
going
to
be,
and
so,
particularly
in
the
I
think,
the
library
has
a
little
has
a
little
bit
of
a
head
start
on
the
fire
department
and
what
some
of
their
costs
are
going
to
be.
But
I
don't
think
we
should
kid
ourselves.
G
It's
going
to
take
a
good
bit
of
time
before,
for
the
fire
departments
and
working
with
our
team
is
able
to
do
a
complete
analysis
of
of
a
deployment
study
about.
Where
are
the
locations
that
a
new
fire
station
could
could
go,
and
then,
where
are
we
able
to
acquire
those
those
properties?
Is
there
any
city
land
within
those
properties?
I
think
you
raise
some
terrific
questions
about
the
tribe
and
what
kind
of
Partnerships
that
we
might
be
able
to
have
in
discussion
with
them.
I
think
that's,
there's
some
really
valuable
stuff
there.
G
That
could
really
streamline
some
of
these
projects,
and
but
it's
going
to,
especially
in
the
case
of
the
fire
department.
It's
going
to
take
a
good
bit
of
time
to
get
through.
Even
we
start
tomorrow
on
all
of
the
we
put
a
team
together,
we
start
the
analysis.
The
deployment
hiring
a
consultant
team
to
do
all
that,
trying
to
work
on
all
of
the
real
estate
angles
related
to
it.
G
It's
just
going
to
and
then
seeing
what's
available
and
really
engage
in
the
community,
potentially
in
a
series
of
meetings
about
where
a
fire
station
should
go.
So
in
my
mind,
it's
a
much
more
complicated
project
than
the
than
the
library
project
is,
and
so,
when
our
financial
advisor
is
talking
about
series
2024
Bonds
in
series,
2025
bonds,
you
know
I
was
struck
by
trying
to
figure
out.
G
Do
we
have
to
figure
out
how
to
identify
the
costs
for
both
of
those
projects
at
the
same
time
to
go
out
to
the
market
in
one
big
issuance?
Or
is
it
okay
to
to
do
a
couple
different
issuances
and
there's
costs
with
that?
So
there's
a
lot
of
thinking
about
that
that
we
would
need
to
engage
with
them
too.
So
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
stuff
that
we're
we're
going
to
need
to
get
after,
and
so
it's
a
long-winded
answer
for
you
know
all
the
stuff
that
we're
going
to
have
to
do.
J
J
The
library
may
be
more
than
the
fire
station,
but
I
think
quite
a
bit
of
work
has
been
put
into
the
fire
station
and
I
note
a
time
and
assessment
studies
been
done
on
location
and
distance.
So
I
know
you
know:
we've
we've
we've
done.
We've
done
some
work
on
that
location,
so
I'm
glad
to
hear
we're
going
to
pick
it
up
and
keep
going
strong.
K
Thank
you
to
the
city
manager
and
to
everyone
who
was
responsible
for
putting
this
together.
This
was
a
very
impressive
presentation
and
I
really
do
appreciate
the
organization
and
the
work
that
went
into
it.
It
shows,
and
the
fact
that
we
may
be
finishing
before
nine
o'clock
also
shows,
because
we've
got
fewer
questions,
because
you've
anticipated
what
our
questions
were
going
to
be.
K
So
thank
you,
as
you
start
to
move
forward,
just
a
couple
of
priority
items
that
I
would
like
to
to
flag,
but
I
think
you've
done
a
great
job.
The
mayor,
Pro
tem,
has
spoken
about
the
need
for
increasing
the
economic
support
Staffing
that
we
have
for
our
downtown
merchants
and
I
want
to
wholeheartedly.
Second,
his
his
concerns
there.
We
have
a
truly
unique
character
of
businesses
in
our
community
and
we
need
to
be
consistently
supporting
those
businesses
because
they
are
what
keeps
this
city
running.
K
I'm
also
concerned,
though,
that
we
increase
our
planning
department
staff
if
we're
going
to
build
the
kinds
of
housing
that
we
want
to
be
building
in
our
community,
we're
going
to
need
to
have
the
Staffing
in
the
planning
departments
to
to
get
those
approvals
move
through.
We
want
to
be
able
to
have
a
reputation
that
we
are
easy
to
do
business
with
and
that
things
happen
quickly
and
that's
not
always
been
the
case.
M
Yeah
I
have
a
I,
have
a
number
of
questions
and,
and
then
some
comments
is
there
an
increase
in
our
Communications
budget,
Staffing
Amy
here
and
I'm.
Just
mentioning
this,
because
I
see
how
often
all
of
our
departments
have
to
communicate
things
that
probably
would
save
a
lot
of
time.
If,
if
we
had
some,
you
know
them
on
a
website
and
I
mentioned
QR
codes
in
the
Parks
and
proactive
communication
to
constituents
which
can't
have
one
person
do
all
of
that.
So
do
we
have
enough
in
that
department.
G
M
Would
also
make
sure
that
we
have
good
website
Improvement.
There
is
so
much
information
that
is
very
hard
to
find
and
again
it
just
the
amount
of
staff's
time
I
can
see
because
it
all
comes
to
us
as
well.
That
is
taken
where
you
feel
like
it
could
be
in
one
place,
for
them
to
know
would
save
a
lot
of
time.
So,
if
there's
a
expense
for
that,
I
am
all
for
it.
H
M
At
that,
do
we
have
to
look
at
more
budgeting
more
money
from
somewhere
for
this,
possibly
okay
on
the
park.
I
guess
that's
my
last
three
question
for
the
parks:
the
parks
maintenance,
which
I
guess
we
had
5.8
budgeted
this
year,
I'm
only
going
to
spend
5.2
and
then
it's
going
up
to
6.2
and
six.
Do
we
and
it's
only
going
up
to
6.2?
Is
that
enough
money
for
our
Parks
maintenance,
Maybe,
fun,
I,
don't
know
if
she's
here.
H
M
M
M
M
M
M
M
We
look
at
the
percentage
of
tot
for
affordable
housing
and
because,
if
we
don't
have
this
budget,
we've
got
to
look
at
a
revenue,
source
and
and
with
that
is
something
that
we
should
have
coming
up
soon
and
I
think
we
need
to
actually
look
at
a
ongoing
budget
for
housing.
I
know:
we've
talked
about
developing
existing
city
land,
we've
talked
about
about
buying
new
land,
we've
talked
about
a
catalyst
fund.
M
We've
talked
about
rezoning,
our
our
shopping
centers
to
have
multi-family
multi-story
housing,
I
think
we
have
to
build
2,
000,
more
homes
by
29,
I,
think
and
we're
we're.
We
need
to
sort
of
really
start
investing
in
that
now
and
it's
probably
one
of
the
top
priorities
in
the
city
and
so
this
and
then
off
the
ongoing
funding
for
the
navigation
Center,
because
I
don't
think
that
we've
really
thought
out
long
term
how
we're
going
to
keep
funding
that
in
the
absence
of
of
state
and
County
grants
which
hopefully
we'll
still
get.
M
The
parks
I
agree
that
we
don't
want
to
take
off
too
much,
but
it
is
so
important
to
all
of
our
community
and-
and
we
have
dealt
with
a
number
of
capital
projects.
But
there
are
many
more
that
are
going
to
come
up.
We
haven't,
you
know
we're
going
to
hear
from
the
dog
park
people
again
soon
the
playground,
people
are
emotions.
M
They
playground
people
the
constituents
who
use
the
playgrounds
and
constituents
who
the
the
residents
who
use
the
playgrounds,
the
residents
who
use
the
dog
park,
you
know,
and
residents
who
use
the
swim
center
and
the
residents
you
use
the
the
the
sports
fields
and-
and
you
know
all
have
an
important
use
of
our
parks
and
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
it.
Even
the
residents
who
use
our
downtown
Amphitheater
that
doesn't
have
an
AV
system
that
we
need
to
sort
of
look
at
like
how
we
actually
invest.
M
So
our
community
gets
the
most
I
think
we
get
very
wrapped
up
in
in
the
tourists
which
are
obviously
our
economy.
But
it's
really
the
residents
we
need
to
to
make
sure,
and
so
along
those
lines,
we've
got
housing
and
then
we've
got
Economic,
Development
and
I
know
you've
got
a
deputy
director
I
think
we
should
look
at
whether
it
really
makes
sense
to
have
housing
and
economic
development
in
one
department
or
whether
we
expand
it
significantly
or
whether
we
have
a
director
of
Economic
Development
in.
But
we
are,
it
is
a
huge
job.
M
We
also
need
to
look
at
who
was
really
responsible
for
ensuring
we
get
this
50
million
dollars
in
TOT
tax
and
and
I
think
we're
very
lucky
to
have
the
hotels
who
have
continued
to
invest
and
advertise
and
and
manage
their
business.
But
this
is
our
Revenue
stream
that
we
really
need
to
look
at
and
the
same
with
the
35
million
dollars
in
sales
and
use
tax
I
mean
it's
our
local
businesses
that
have
done
this
have
made
this
happen.
M
H
M
000
business
licenses,
it
seems
to
me,
like
it,
would
warrant
some
expanded
support
and
help
council
member
holstich
brought
up
the
the
Cannabis
tax,
which
I
think
is
important
issue,
but,
more
importantly,
we
as
a
city.
If
this
is
an
industry,
we
want
need
to
look
at
how
we're
going
to
keep
it,
how
it's
going
to
thrive
and
and
and
continue
to
to
maintain.
M
I
also
want
to
look
at
a
database
of
our
real
businesses
with
these
29
000
I,
don't
think
you
know,
we've
had
these
issues
come
up
with
whether
it's
food
delivery
services
or
or
whatever
we
should
be
able
to
immediately
message
all
of
our
restaurants
and
get
their
opinion.
We
we
should
know
that
we
should.
We
should
know
who
are
you
know
how
many
black
owned
businesses,
how
many
LGBT
owned
businesses?
How
many
men
are?
You
know
Latino
owned
businesses
Latin
excellent
businesses.
M
These
are
things
that
we
really
could
use
as
our
city,
and
we
don't
really
have
any
any
of
that.
So
this
is
why
I
keep
pushing
for
economic
development,
expansion
and
focus,
because
half
of
our
revenue
is
coming
from
our
our
local
businesses
that
need.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
they
are
stay
and
Thrive
and
support
over
time.
M
So
oops
I
will
keep
saying
this
until
like
a
dog
with
a
bone.
I
do
want
to
also
support
and
make
sure
that
we
have
our
our
fire.
We,
you
know
we
get
that
up
to
speed
in
the
new
station
as
well
as
the
police.
I
do
have
a
question:
do
we
have
this
police
staff
to
man
the
downtown
station
that
was
built
in
the
park.
L
M
Okay,
that's
great,
that's
wonderful,
I
didn't
know,
it
was
like
that.
So
those
are
my
overall
things.
I
think
you
know
we.
We
are
an
aging
City
in
a
lot
of
ways
and
we
need
to
sort
of
reinvest
in
in
our
image
and
our
resources
for
the
community
as
we
grow.
So
those
are
all
my
comments
in
my
rant
for
today.
Thank
you
for
listening.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
I
do
want
to
Echo
mayor
Pro,
tems
Point
regarding
Communications
and
being
able
to
really
have
a
robust
system
of
communications.
That
is
often
what
we
get
in.
Requests
from.
Residents
is
just
confusion
about
what's
happening
and
explaining
the
process
when
really
it
could
just
be
a
centralized
system
and
just
better
knowledge
of
what's
going
on
and
and
getting
that
information
out
there
and
a
lot
of
it
is
like
signage,
for
instance.
So
we've
talked
about
that
signage
at
the
parks
anytime.
A
M
Sorry
I
see
Kim
Baker
here
so
I
want
to
mention
something
about
procurement
and
I
know
later
this
week,
we're
going
to
have
a
couple
more
consent
items
for
for
contracts
with
businesses
that
are
not
located
even
in
the
valley
and
I
think
it
is
really
important
for
our
own
economic
development
that
we're
doing
procurement
we're
actively
marketing
it
to
our
local
businesses
and
most
of
our
local
businesses,
probably
do
not
look
at
Planet
bids
or
the
Desert
Sun
for
jobs
and
I.
Think.
M
The
idea
that
that
our
procurement
director,
Kim
Baker,
came
up
with
was
to
have
fairs
for
the
local
business
Community
to
educate
them
on
the
process
is
something
that
I
think
would
be
of
great
benefit
to
our
local
businesses,
but
also
to
our
own
economic
impact
on
the
city.
So
thank
you
for
letting
me
go
on
sure.
A
But
we
also
just
heard
a
great
example
from
mayor
Pro
tem
about
all
the
different
possibilities
there
are
in
just
looking
at
things
a
little
bit
differently
and
and
how
we
communicate
or
gathering
email
addresses,
for
instance,
from
our
our
businesses
really
small
things
that
could
probably
be
achieved
relatively
quickly
and
maybe
and
I
think
administratively,
and
not
necessarily
stuff.
That
has
to
come
to
council,
but
I
really
love
these.
A
These
different
ideas
that
we're
hearing
not
just
from
Air
Pro
tem
but
from
all
of
the
council,
and
wondering
how
we
can
kind
of
continue
to
make
sure
that
those
types
of
things
are
being
considered
and
and
possibly
getting
a
report
back
about
some
of
them.
We
don't
want
to
necessarily
add,
require
Council
attention
on
things
that
don't
need
Council
attention,
but
but
do
look
into
some
of
these
ideas
that
that
we
hear,
but
thank
you
all
so
much
again.
A
D
All
right,
that's
why
I
held
it
up.
I
thought
you
were
gonna
cut
my
time
right.
There
I
was
like
watch
out
all
right.
Let's
see
congrats
on
the
airport
logo,
that's
clutch,
I'm
glad
you
were
able
to
nail
that
down.
That's
really
good
I
know
the
tribe
is
going
to
be
really
happy
about
that.
That'll.
Look
great,
because
I
know
why
I
was
there
they're
looking
at
bringing
in
slot
machines
for
the
airport,
so
that'll
be
great
nice
little
entrance
there.
You
could
ask
the
chairman
why
he
asked
he
actually
terminated.
D
Let's
see,
oh
thanks
staff
for
the
capital,
Improvement
Pro
program
slide.
That
was
a
great
data
as
far
as
the
visuals
concerned,
I
was
able
to
follow
that
one
pretty
well.
So
that's
a
that's
really
nice
good
to
have
people
that
can
interpret
data
and
be
able
to
put
it
out
visually
did
not
sign
an
NDA
with
Agua
Caliente.
So
anything
you
guys
want
to
know
about
them.
I
am
more
than
willing
to
talk
about.
I
got
a
minute
left,
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
pass
these
out.
N
D
Okay
got
it.
Thank
you
all
right.
So
what
we
got
now
is
my
last
little
part
which
you
guys
were
talking
about
the
centralized
locations
and
everything
that's
happening
actually
with
the
city
clerk's
office
today
had
a
printout
of
the
calendar.
It
is
not
a
very
good
calendar
and
to
get
it,
it
only
lists
really
this
week.
So
for
the
rest
of
the
weeks
for
the
month,
it
doesn't
list
anything
as
far
as
the
meetings
are
concerned,
so
I
can
leave
that
one
with
you
that
came
from
your
website
printed
off
today.
D
So
that's
one
thing
that
is
an
example
of
something
that
could
be
put
together
because
I'm
trying
to
find
all
the
meetings,
so
I
can
show
up
at
every
single
one
of
them
and
get
public
comment.
So
the
that's
something
that
we
could
look
at.
That's
probably
a
really
easy
fix,
especially
considering
that
you
guys
are
using
my.
