A
Job
good
job
Haley,
thank
you
I.
You
know,
I
want
to
just
acknowledge
too
that
it
takes
a
lot
of
Courage
for
our
kids
to
come
up
here,
especially
our
little
ones,
and
do
this
in
front
of
all
of
you,
especially
when
we
have
a
packed
house.
So
thank
you
so
much
to
Haley
and
her
family
for
being
here
and
participating.
A
A
D
Good
evening,
mayor
and
council
member,
my
name
is
Melissa
Boyd
again
and
I
am
the
government
relations
manager
for
Southern
California
Edison
on
behalf
of
Edison
I.
Just
want
to
thank
you
and
for
allowing
us
the
time
to
present
tonight
at
Edison's
work
on
our
grid,
reliability
in
the
region,
Southern,
California
oops.
Excuse
me:
I
need
to
use
my
clicker
here.
Southern
California
Edison
has
a
very
expansive
territory.
D
We
are
spending
about
5
billion
each
year
to
maintain
and
improve
our
infrastructure,
and
this
includes
36
miles
of
underground
cable,
that
we
are
replacing
119
miles
of
overhead
conductor,
replaced
for
Public,
Safety
24.5,
000
distribution,
poles
replaced
and
4.3
000
transmission,
Pole
and
24
underground
structure
Replacements.
So
we're
we're
very,
very
busy
trying
to
make
sure
to
that.
We
have
a
safe
and
reliable
and
affordable
clean
energy.
D
For
our
customers
now
we'd
like
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
overview
of
our
types
of
outages
that
our
customers
could
have
experienced
in
the
past.
First
and
foremost,
we,
the
safety
and
well-being
of
our
public,
the
workers
and
our
customers
remains
top
priority
and
we
continue
to
take
actions
to
maintain
our
operations
and
provide
the
safe,
reliable
service.
In
order
for
us
to
perform
the
work
on
our
grid
year
round
outages
are
a
necessary
part
of
the
process.
However,
we
don't
make
these
decisions
lately.
D
D
Outages
can
incur
for
several
reasons.
Some
of
them
are
scheduled
and
others
occur
without
warning,
but
they
usually
fall
within
the
following
categories.
We
have
maintenance,
outages.
These
in
general
are
service.
Interruptions
of
this
type
are
scheduled
in
advance
and
we
inform
our
customers
of
the
outage
details
and
at
least
three
calendar
days
before
the
maintenance
work
begins
as
an
enhancement
to
the
process.
We
are
communication.
Team
is
now
notifying
customers
approximately
10
days
in
advance
of
a
maintenance
outage
and
we'll
do
this
through
email
phone
call
or
text
messages.
D
We
also
have
repair
and
emergency
outages.
These
are
several
categories
that
can
occur
without
prior
indication,
and
this
some
of
this
will
be
something
like
an
equipment,
failure
or
cable
faults
or
damage
by
Third
parties.
That
could
be
a
car
hitting
a
pole,
severe
climate
conditions
such
as
wind
and
severe
storms
and
other
significant
demands
on
our
Electric
System.
D
D
Those
outages
are
defined
as
controlled
temporary
interruptions
of
electrical
service
and
usually
lasts
between
10
and
45
minutes
per
neighborhood,
but
our
Critical
Care
customers.
Those
are
the
ones
that
such
as
hospitals,
nursing
homes,
those
are
generally
excluded
from
those
outages
to
maintain
50
000
square
miles
of
service
territory.
D
Now
it's
not
just
enough
that
we
designate
our
outage
as
critical
and
and
then
move
forward.
The
SCE
is
taking
additional
steps
to
identify
whether
the
critical
outage
can
be
mitigated
further.
So
this
goes
with
our
consideration
that
we
take
into
every
outage
again
it's
not
lightly,
but
we
make
sure
that,
if
it's
possible
to
reduce
our
outage
footprint,
we
want
to
do
that.
We
also
are
looking
at
Critical
Care
customers
that
might
be
affected.
D
D
Once
an
outage
is
entered
into
our
system,
customers
will
receive
a
letter
via
U.S
mail,
approximately
three
to
eight
days
in
advance
of
the
outage.
Digital
notifications
by
phone
text
and
email
are
typically
sent
out
hours
after
the
notification
has
been
updated
in
our
system.
As
such,
we
encourage
our
customers
to
keep
their
contact
information
updated.
D
Many
of
the
residents
here
on
Palm
Springs
are
already
very
familiar
with
that
process,
but
please
make
sure
that
you
have
an
updated
phone
number
email
with
us.
It
ensures
that
you
receive
not
only
the
outage
notifications,
but
also
any
updates
on
the
outage.
There
are
a
couple
reasons
why
our
maintenance
outages
could
be
canceled
some
of
it's
due
to
weather
in
Palm
Springs.
We
have
you
know
high
heat
and
wind
that
can
affect
that.
D
D
D
So
preparedness
is
key
for
those
that
are
affected
by
the
outages.
We
know
that
an
emergency
can
happen
at
any
time.
It's
important
for
you
to
create
a
safety
preparedness
plan
for
family,
including
those
with
special
needs
and
pets.
So
we
encourage
all
of
your
residents
to
do
that.
We
keep
important
for
you
want
to
make
sure
that
you
can
keep
important
phone
numbers
nearby
and
making
that
plan.
D
We
also
encourage
insert
installing
surge
protectors
to
help
Safeguard
your
equipment
in
the
event
of
that
happening
and
if
you're,
considering
a
generator
you'd
want
to
consult
with
a
licensed
electrician,
to
determine
your
proper
power
needs
for
and
for
safe
setup
as
well.
We
have
during
large-scale
long
duration,
PSPs
emergency
events.
D
Sc
will
deplore
what
we
call
Community
crew
vehicles
and
and
work
with
our
local
government
agencies
to
develop
community
Resource
Centers.
These
centers
are
typically
where
customers
have
access
to
restrooms
and
water,
light
snacks,
electricity
and
such
and
we'll
work
to
ensure
that
these
locations
serve
as
a
temporary,
safe
haven
for
the
residents.
In
the
event
of
that
happening,
we
also
have
our
community
crew
Vehicles.
These
are
more
mobile
van
units
that
are
equipped
with
a
generator
to
help
residents
charge
their
laptops
and
their
phones
get
water
light
snacks.
D
D
We
have
if
some
customers
that
have
a
heightened
need
for
medical
power,
so
we
have
created
our
Critical
Care,
backup
battery
program
in
the
event
and
an
event,
sorry
battery
loan
pilot
program,
so
together
these
opportunities.
These
are
opportunities
for
our
battery
backup
power.
During
an
outage
event,
these
have
a
series
of
qualifications
that
you
have
to
apply
for.
D
We
want
to
encourage
all
residents
to
sign
up
again
for
those
notifications.
If
you
haven't
already,
you
can
sign
up
or
set
your
account
on
sce.com
once
you
are
signed
in
you.
Can
click
on
settings
clicking
on
the
settings
button
will
open
up
your
outage
alert
preferences.
So,
finally,
you
input
your
contact
information
for
either
email
text
or
phone.
It's
it's
your
preference,
but
make
sure
that
that
is
up
to
date
here
is
a
snapshot
of
how
our
customer
notifications
work.
D
This
is
the
web
page
here
so
you're
familiar
with
where
you
are
going,
and
then
this
is
a
snapshot
of
a
what
I
previously
mentioned
of
how
our
customer
notifications
work.
So
the
10
to
11
days
you'll
receive
an
automated
message.
If
you
were
enrolled
in
our
outage
alerts
via
text
or
phone
8
to
10
days,
our
physical
letters
over
printed
and
they're
mailed
to
Residents
as
well
outages
that
are
scheduled
less
than
10
days
before,
will
still
generate
an
automated
outage
alert
and
we'll
still
have
the
physical
letters
as
well.
D
D
One
day
before
automated
reminders
will
be
sent
to
customers
enrolled
in
the
outage
alerts
via
their
Community,
their
preferred
Communication
channel
and
on
the
day
of
the
outage,
automative
outage
alerts
were
sent
are
sent
when
the
power
is
restored
as
well.
So
if
changes
occur,
if
it's
canceled
or
changed
they'll
be
notified
as
well
there
as
a
number
of
resources
here
on
our
outage
Center
map,
we
encourage,
if
you
are
experiencing
an
outage
that
is
unplanned.
It
is
not
listed
here
on
our
website.
D
We
encourage
you
to
report
it
and
make
that
notification
here
on
the
website
or
there's
a
phone
number.
You
can
also
call
which
I'll
show
in
a
moment,
but
we
on
our
website.
You
can
find
a
map
of
the
outage
location
where
you
can
report
a
power
outage.
You
can
report
a
street
light
outage
outages
by
address
us
City
ZIP,
how
many
people
are
affected.
D
All
of
council
members
and
our
city
manager
and
everybody
at
the
city
can
see
how
many
of
your
customers
are
affected
and
the
start
time
of
the
outage
and
when
it's
going
to
be
restored
as
well
as
the
cause,
we
will
put
that
in
there
as
well
on
the
status
of
repairs
and
some
contact
numbers
if
need
be.
There
are
like
I,
mentioned
the
two
primary
numbers
to
call
here.
D
D
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor
and
city
council
for
giving
us
the
opportunity
to
present
this
evening.
We
do
have
some
members
of
our
team
care
for
any
questions
you
have.
We
have
Louis
Moreno
from
our
outage
communication:
Team
Eileen
Flores,
one
of
our
government
relations
managers
and
Jeff
Mumford
from
corporate
Communications
here
to
assist
with
any
additional
questions
or
comments
that
the
council
or
the
mayor
may
have.
Thank.
A
E
Hey
Melissa
I
have
the
question
relating
relates
to
downtown
in
particular,
and
the
age
of
the
equipment.
That's
downtown.
What
what
what's
being
done?
Is
there
a
schedule
on
replacing
that
that
aged
out
equipment
for
downtown
businesses,
in
particular
we're
getting
to
the
point
of
you
know
the
outages
that
the
businesses
are
experiencing,
particularly
the
restaurants
that
they're
experiencing
and
the
food
cost
that
they're
being
impacted
with?
So
we
didn't
talk
about
the
age
of
the
equipment
and
that
replacement
program.
Can
you
share
a
little
bit
about
that.
D
We
I
don't
have
the
specific
circuit
we'd
have
to
take
a
look
at
where
those
restaurants,
what
circuit
they're
connected
to,
so
that
we
could
see
how
old
it
is
and
when
it's
being
replaced.
But
we
do
take
a
look
and
do
reports
every
single
year
we're
taking
a
look
at
what
is
aging
out
and
what
needs
to
be
repaired.
D
Sometimes
it's
again
things
that
are
unplanned,
that
we
weren't
expecting
equipment
failure
and
if
there
was
something
that
has
experienced
an
outage
that
needs
to
be
restored,
we
do
try
to
move
to
repair
that
quickly.
I,
don't
believe
I
know
of
any
specifically
that
are
assigned
to
downtown
right
now,
but
I
would
need
to
get
that
information
that
I
could
get
for
you
later
sure.
Okay,
thanks
any.
D
G
So
but
anyway,
yes,
we
have
a
robust
maintenance
program
throughout
our
service
territory,
all
50
000
square
miles,
so
everything
that's
overhead
gets
inspected
every
three
years.
Everything
that's
underground
is
inspected
every
five
years.
So
with
respect
to
agent,
we're
always
keeping
a
close
tab
on
what's
happened.
Where
are
the
conditions
in
the
field?
If
something
is
maybe
approaching?
Maybe
it's
it's
lifetime
or
well
ahead
of
its
lifetime.
We
work
to
jump
ahead
and
get
ahead
of
it
and
replace
it
as
quickly
as
possible.
G
So
sometimes
the
equipment
may
be
a
little
bit
older,
but
it's
still
in
optimal
operating
conditions.
So
again,
our
maintenance
program
helps
us
stay
on
top
of
what's
Happening,
where
and
when
and
when
and
if
we
need
to
replace
it
relatively
quickly
with
respect
to
specifically
downtown
I
can
go
ahead
and
take
that
action
item
to
find
out
what
our
circuitry
is.
Looking
like
maintenance
programs,
things
like
that,
and
then
we
can
report
back
to
you
not
a
problem.
F
Concur
and
thank
council
member
de
Hart
for
his
question,
I
think
we
all
would
like
to
have
a
sense
of
what
is
the
age
of
the
equipment
across
our
city
so
that
we
can
have
some
expectation
as
to
what
to
to
expect
you
make
very
valid
points
about
the
importance
of
Maintenance
I.
Don't
think
you
have
any
customers
who
would
argue
that
that
is
absolutely
critical
because
it
goes
to
avoiding
unnecessary
outages.
H
Yeah,
thank
you
for
Melissa,
for
that
and
I
I
do
understand
that
you're
trying
your
best,
but
I
will
tell
you
the
number
of
complaints,
we're
hearing
from
residents
and
businesses
on
the
outages,
both
planned
and
unplanned,
has
risen
significantly
recently
and
when
you're
starting
to
do
this
to
a
business
it
affects
you
know
their
employees.
It
reflects
his
council
member
dehart
said
they're
they're
Goods
I
can
also
tell
you
I
have
four
locations.
The
timing
of
the
outages
is
probably
25
percent
is
wrong.
H
If
we
say
it's
going
to
be
from
nine
to
five
that
it
is
only
nine
to
five
I
know,
people
have
gone
to
hotels
or
other
places
to
avoid
being
without
power,
we
have
people
who
work
from
home,
who
need
power
and
and
again
the
downtown
we're
hearing
it.
I
know
both
council
member
de
heart
and
I
are
hearing
a
lot
from
businesses
who
are
experiencing
outages,
both
planned
and
unplanned,
that
are
creating
significant
problems
for
their
businesses
and
if
the
equipment
is
old,
then
something
needs
to
be
done.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all
for
being
here.
I,
really
appreciate
that
the
entire
team
is
here
to
answer
questions
I
share
the
concern
of
the
other
council
members.
The
other
question
I
have
is:
it
seems
that
we're
hearing
from
certain
areas
of
town
that
are
getting
hit
with
notifications
for
outages
just
over
and
over
again
I
I,
believe
it
was
six
times
in
one
particular
neighborhood.
Can
you
address
this
issue?
Why
is
it
cons?
Is
there
work
being
done
in
this
specific
neighborhood?
A
G
Speaking
of
that,
Lewis
is
better,
so
just
add
a
little
more
additional
context
on
that.
So
currently,
Edison
is
undergoing.
What's
called
a
cutover
project
out
of
one
of
our
subs
or
the
Belding
sub.
This
project
is
impacting
three
circuits
coming
out
of
that
sub
and
we're
talking
roughly
about
oh
gosh
I,
don't
remember
the
exact
customer
account,
but
these
three
circuits
are
impacting
these
customers.
G
Now
this
work
started
probably
in
the
beginning
of
the
part
of
the
Year,
about
q1,
give
or
take,
and
it
will
continue
through
Q4
approximately,
so
there
will
be
continuous
work.
We
understand
that
it's
impacting
our
customers
negatively.
We
completely
understand
that.
But
what
is
the
cut
over
project?
So
we
have
a
lot
of
circuits
that
are
still
a
4kv
circuit
so
years
years
ago,
many
of
customers-
we
didn't
have
that
high
demand
for
energy
for
power.
Today
we
have
a
lot
more
businesses,
a
lot
more
homes,
Sometimes
some
of
our
homes.
G
We
have
multiple
TVs,
multiple
refrigerators,
Etc,
there's
more
Demand
on
the
grid.
So,
in
order
for
us
to
continue
moving
forward
and
supplying
power
to
that
demand,
we
need
to
ensure
that
the
grid
is
robust
enough
to
ensure
that
that
Community
continues
to
grow.
There's
still
power
enough
there.
So
we're
aging
out
all
of
the
4kv
systems
and
replacing
them
with
16
KV
systems.
This
will
ensure
long-term
reliability
and
that
we're
able
to
provide
and
deliver
power
to
our
customers.
G
So
that's
what
this
project
is
intended
to
do
is
cut
over
the
4kv
to
16
KV
circuits
and
while
we're
doing
that
upgrade
the
substation.
So
there's
enough
power
enough
juice
there
to
supply
the
need
for
our
constituents,
so
this
project
will
continue.
We
have
discussed
it
on
our
end
and
we
still
want
to
stay
in
close
communication
with
you
guys,
so
you
guys
know
what's
happening.
G
What's
what's
going
on
and
also
we
were
talking
about
on
the
communication
front
where
maybe
we
have
fallen
short
so
just
from
the
get-go
I
apologize
for
that,
okay,
just
from
the
get-go,
we
do
our
best
and
we
strive
to.
You
know
to
deliver
Perfection
as
best
as
we
can
we're
as
close
as
we
possibly
can,
and
we
want
to
deliver
information
as
often
as
quickly
as
we
possibly
can.
G
So,
if
you
do
happen
to
receive
any
any
complaints
from
your
constituent
say:
hey,
you
know
what
they
didn't
send
me
a
communication
in
time
or
they
didn't
email
me
something
in
time.
Please
let
me
know
what
we'll
do
on
our
end.
Is
our
team
will
start
researching
it?
You
know
conduct
a
deep
dive
on
it
find
out
what
happened.
Was
there
a
glitch
in
the
system?
I
A
J
You
I
so
appreciate
that
and
appreciate
your
answers
and
you
being
here
and
having
the
whole
team
I.
Think
that
says
a
lot
to
our
community
I
just
wanted
to
Echo
the
comments
made
by
my
colleagues.
You
know
you're
our
partner
in
this,
and
so
the
city
does
a
lot
of
work
to
provide
cooling
shelters
for
folks
if
they
do
need
to
cool
down
to
council
member
Middleton's
Point.
These
are
life
safety
issues
for
our
residents.
Many
are
older.
J
Some
are
homebound,
we're
seeing
more
and
more
days
over
120,
and
so,
if
you're
a
Homebound-
and
it
is
a
hundred
or
110
in
your
house-
that
is
a
significant
life
safety
issue
with
medication
and
keeping
everything
we
need
cool,
but
we're
your
partner
in
this.
So
please
we
want
to
work
with
you
in
Partnership.
If
there
are
ways
that
we,
you
know,
are
very
interested
in
our
infrastructure
and
ways
that
we
can
invest
in
it
or
seek
grant
funding
to
invest
in
that
so
that
we
can
have
more
up-to-date.
J
You
know
power
service
through
your
all
the
science
things
that
I
don't
understand
as
a
lawyer
of
how
to
provide
Power,
we
want
to
work
with
you
in
that
and
then
we're
Partners
to
our
residents
as
well,
because
we're
providing
cooling
we're
communicating
with
our
residents.
We
do
that
when
they're
hearing
from
us
so
appreciate
your
showing
good
faith
as
a
partner
and
showing
up
here
and
thank
you
to
offering
to
work
with
our
community
because
that's
incredibly
important
as
we
work
together,
we
know
this
is
you
I
mean?
G
Of
course,
thank
you
for
that,
and
on
that
note
one
of
you
mentioned
growing.
Our
partnership
I
do
have
something
to
offer
for
your
constituents.
Our
team
has
developed
a.
We
call
that
a
power
talk
essentially,
but
it
is
it's
an
educational
Forum
where
we
can
engage
constituents,
one-on-one
kind
of
pull
back
the
veil
of
what
happens
behind
the
scenes
when
we
experience
an
unplanned
or
what
we
call
a
repair
outage,
what
happens
in
advance
when
we're
planning
a
maintenance
project?
How
do
we
communicate?
G
How
do
we
engage
and,
more
importantly,
where
do
customers
go
for
more
information
for
more
details?
How
can
they
prepare
in
advance
for
these
types
of
events,
so
I
want
to
offer
that
to
the
to
the
city
council
I
want
to
offer
that
to
your
constituents.
This
is
something
that's
of
interest
to
you
and
they
may
Garner
more
interest
from
your
community.
Let
us
know
we
can
come
out
here.
G
A
Thank
you
very
much.
We
appreciate
that
and
love
to
receive
more
information
about
that
program
and
thank
you
all
and
we're
going
to
move
on
now.
So
thank
you
for
being
here
all
right
and
I
just
want
to
let
Council
know
that
we
are
going
to
be
able
to
use
our
screens
to
do
motions
and
vote.
So
just
as
a
reminder.
Our
next
item
is
acceptance
of
the
agenda.
The
city
council
will
discuss
the
order
of
the
agenda.
H
J
J
A
A
A
Thank
you
very
much.
The
next
item
is
public
testimony.
This
time
has
been
set
aside
for
members
of
the
public
to
address
the
city
council
on
non-public
hearing
agenda
items.
Only
two
minutes
will
be
assigned
to
each
speaker.
You're
asked
to
please
begin
your
time
by
telling
us
what
agenda
item
or
items
you're
speaking
about
please
note
that
testimony
for
public
hearings
will
be
taken
at
the
time
of
the
public
hearing
and
general
public
comment
will
be
taken
at
the
end
of
the
meeting.
A
If
there's
any
written
comment
that
you
wish
to
distribute
to
the
city
council
members,
please
hand
that
over
to
the
city
clerk
and
before
we
turn
to
our
first
Speaker
I,
do
want
to
just
say
that,
even
though
Palm
Springs
celebrates
pride
in
November,
we
do
recognize
that
June
is
pride
month
and
we
were
very
excited
to
be
able
to
present
a
proclamation
for
pride
month.
I
know
that
our
first
two
speakers
are
going
to
speak
a
little
bit
about
that.
So
Bill
Mitchell,
followed
by
David
vignolo.
L
Good
evening
my
name
is
Bill
Mitchell
and
with
me
is
my
husband,
David
vignello,
and
we
are
here
tonight
to
thank
the
Palm
Springs
City
Council
for
issuing
a
proclamation
recognizing
June
2023
as
World
pride
month,
despite
the
many
gains
that
the
lgbtq
plus
Community
has
made
since
that
first
Pride
March
53
years
ago.
The
recent
wave
of
anti-lgbtq
plus
legislation
and
the
increase
in
violence
against
members
of
the
community,
particularly
against
trans
individuals,
shows
that
the
struggle
continues
to
achieve
a
safe,
inclusive
and
nurturing
environment
for
all
citizens.
L
A
You
David
did
you
want
to
add
anything?
Okay,
thank
you.
Both.
We
really
appreciate
it
and
happy
Pride.
Everyone
and
I
know.
We've
already
had
some
pride
events
this
month,
even
though
we
don't
usually
so
I'm
very
excited
about
that.
Maybe
we
do
already
celebrate
Pride
all
year
round
right
so
what's
another
event,
just
more
fun,
all
right,
we
will
begin.
We
have
Brad
Anderson,
followed
by
Nona
Watson
and
Kevin
blessing.
M
Good
evening,
good
evening,
I
don't
know
this
is
on
yes,
I'll
try
I
came
here.
My
name
is
Brad
Anderson
I
currently
live
in
a
city,
Rancho
Mirage
I'm,
going
to
speak
on
item
1A
today.
This
is
concerning
the
remote
access
that
you
have
or
you're
using
ab361
I
believe
illegally,
and
this
is
more
or
less
a
cc
assist
letter
to
stop
that
action.
M
This
is
the
fundamental
principle
of
free
speech
in
our
country
and
all
this
stuff
has
been
taken
away.
The
safeguards
of
the
brown
act,
which
is
for
everybody
that
speaks
or
anybody
that
has
opinion
about
anything
in
in
California,
at
a
public
meeting
it's
getting
eroded,
and
this
is
one
aspect
of
it
and
ab361.
You
don't
have
to
have
that
in
place
to
have
remote
meetings
for
the
public.
It's
only
for
the
city,
council,
members
or
the
appointed
members
not
to
be
accessible
to
the
public.
M
I
Thank
you,
mayor
and
city
council
I'm,
Nona,
Watson
I'm,
the
CEO
of
the
Palm
Springs
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
I'm
here,
because
I
know
you're.
Renewing
our
contract,
we're
looking
at
our
contract
for
the
Walk
of
Stars,
but
I
wanted
to
take
a
minute
to
let
you
know
how
honored
and
how
excited
we
are
to
be
able
to
manage
that
program.
For
the
city.
It
is
a
very
special
program
and
it's
one
that
we
don't
take
lightly.
I
It
is
unique
in
that
it's
a
program
that
not
only
honors
actual
movie
stars
people
that
have
called
Palm
Springs
their
playground
for
years,
but
we
also
honor
local
stars,
and
these
are
the
people
that
really
make
us
special.
They
give
us
their
time
their
talents,
their
treasures
and
they
set
us
apart
from
any
other
city,
and
we
understand
how
special
that
is.
I
I'm
here
with
Evan
Gray
Evan
manages
the
program
with
me
for
the
chamber,
we're
here
to
answer
any
questions,
but
honestly
just
wanted
you
to
know
that
we're
looking
forward
to
another
five
years,
I
can't
believe
five
years
has
already
gone
by
and
we're
very
proud
of
what
we've
done
with
this
program
and
how
far
we've
taken
it.
But
we've
got
some
great
Stars
ahead
and
we're
here
to
answer
any
questions
or
concerns
that
you
may
have.
Thank
you.
O
N
Of
the
many
homeless
that
are
out
there
in
our
community
for
just
over
two
and
a
half
years
now,
some
of
the
issues
I'll
keep
this
brief,
because
I
have
more
I'll,
probably
come
back
in
two
weeks
is
the
urgent
need
is
that
we
need
restroom
facilities,
24
7..
We
can't
wait
until
the
sun
comes
back
up
for
the
doors
to
unlock
for
us
to
go,
use
the
laboratory
when
we
wake
up
and
we
all
wake
up.
N
We
have
to
relieve
ourselves
and
what
we
have
to
put
ourselves
up
against
is
we
have
to
go,
find
a
place,
that's
private
enough!
We
have
to
make
sure
that
our
belongings
are
secure.
We
have
to
make
sure
that
the
police
are
not
there
to
give
us
a
ticket
for
doing
something
that
we
shouldn't
be
doing,
and
that's
a
lot
to
put
on
our
minds
and
then
try
to
relieve
ourselves
and
General.
N
N
If
we
had
some
sort
of
lockers
in
designated
locations,
I'm
not
sure
if
they
should
be
locked
up
or
comboed
I,
don't
know,
but
we
need
something
where
the
homeless
can
store
some
items,
some
mementos
they
don't
always
have
to
be
fretting
about.
Is
this
going
to
be
stolen
or
where
do
we
hide
this
bag?
So
it's
going
to
be
safe,
so
the
next
time
we
find
it
and
that's
not
a
life
to
have
for
any
of
us.
N
It's
too
stressful
to
be
homeless
as
it
is
now,
but
to
have
to
worry
about
that
as
well.
It's
just
compounding
the
issue.
I,
consider
homeless,
being
a
full-time
job.
I've
done
a
lot
of
things.
I've
been
a
regional
with
Macy's
department
stores,
I
owned
two
businesses
here
in
the
Coachella
Valley
over
the
past
30
years.
This
homeless
business
is
a
lot
of
work.
I
tell
you
that
so
I
suggest
you
may
want
to
get
out
there
on
the
streets
and
see
how
difficult
it
really
is.
Yes,
some
of
us
are
drug
addicted.
A
P
Good
evening,
mayor
and
members
of
the
city
council,
my
name
is
Bruce
younger
and
I
wish
to
address
item
3A
on
the
agenda.
At
your
last
meeting,
I
expressed
my
concern
about
how
the
navigation
Center
has
apparently
been
growing
in
scope,
and
my
fear
that
this
is
being
turned
into
a
regional
homeless
facility.
I
also
noted
my
objection
on
how
the
astronomical
cost
of
this,
yet
to
be
open.
Center
has
ballooned
after
I
spoke
I
heard
from
several
residents
across
Palm
Springs
thanking
me
for
speaking
up
on
this
issue.
P
So
I
would
like
you
to
understand
that
there
is
widespread
concern
throughout
the
community
on
the
direction
that
the
center
is
heading.
There
is
also
several
my
neighbors
here
this
evening
that
wish
to
help
communicate
in
detail
their
objections
on
how
this
facility
is
being
expanded
and
I
believe
several
have
also
submitted
written
comments
who
are
unable
to
be
with
us
tonight
of
most
concern
to
us
is
the
proposed
edition
of
50
overnight
beds
to
the
center.
We
were
promised
by
the
city
in
your
local
Outreach
meetings
that
it
would
not
be
a
drop-in
facility.
P
Were
we
misled,
or
are
you
just
using
semantics
to
say
it's
not
the
same
thing?
What
is
really
alarming
about
this
is
that,
because
of
this
new
plan,
Martha's
Kitchen
has
now
abandoned
its
plans
for
a
95
shelter
bed
facility
at
another
location,
one
that
would
in
all
likelihood
be
closer
to
where
the
homeless
or
actually
concentrated.
P
This
proves
how
the
navigation
Center
is
being
expanded.
Way
Beyond,
what
the
city
had
promised
to
its
neighbors
and
I
urge
you
to
vote
no
on
the
additional
5
million
dollar
funding.
Have
this
plan
sent
back
and
revised
to
what
the
city
originally
presented
to
its
citizens?
Thank
you
and
I.
Think
some
of
my
neighbors
are
going
to
follow
up
with
the
same
line
of
comments
appreciate
your
concern.
Q
Good
evening,
mayor
and
members
of
the
city
council,
my
name
is
Michael
Hawthorne
I'm,
a
resident
of
miralon
in
district.
One
I
wish
to
address
item
3A
I
want
to
begin
by
commending
the
city
council
for
striving
to
address
the
unhoused
with
the
expansion
of
the
relationship
with
Martha's
Village
in
Palm
Springs
a
trusted
resource
in
the
valley
that
said,
I
am
not
alone
in
strongly
opposing
the
proposal
to
expand
the
scope
of
the
navigation
Center
to
include
an
early
entry
facility
with
approximately
50
overnight
shelter
beds.
Q
R
Hello,
my
name
is
William
Marta
I'm,
a
resident
of
Maryland
district,
one
and
I
wish
to
address
item
3A.
The
navigation
Center
was
designed
to
con
designed
and
conveyed
as
a
transitional
housing
initiative,
aiming
to
offer
individuals
experiencing
homelessness
with
the
desire
to
transition
the
necessary
and
specific
types
of
support
required
to
progress
towards
self-sufficiency.
R
Introducing
an
early
entry
facility
that
focuses
on
overnight
shelter
accommodations,
undermines
the
core
objectives
of
the
navigation
Center.
It
distracts
from
the
effective
delivery
of
comprehensive
Transitional
services
such
as
counseling
job
training,
job
interview,
preparation
and
access
to
Unique
types
of
Social
and
Mental
Health
Services,
which
are
crucial
for
individuals
to
successfully
transition
out
of
homelessness
through
Transitional
Living.
R
This
location
faced
considerable
criticism
back
then,
which
is
now
further
bolstered
by
the
proposition
and
transporting
individuals
with
more
severe
reluctance
toward
transitional
housing
in
favor
of
providing
temporary
overnight
accommodations.
An
early
entry
facility
should
be
located
close
to
where
the
homeless
are
concentrated,
primarily
downtown
along
parts
of
Ramon
road
and
in
the
washes
I
believe
early
entry
facilities
should
be
left
in
the
hands
of
the
extremely
capable
organizations
like
Martha's,
Village
I.
R
R
S
S
S
While
there
are
discussions
about
the
navigation,
Center's
construction,
not
a
single
sentence
that
we've
seen
addresses
the
city
and
County's
plan
to
maintain
order
in
the
neighborhood.
If
such
a
plan
exists,
residents
should
be
informed
for
their
input,
if
not
some,
if
not
all,
of
the
additional
5
million
should
be
redirected
to
address
these
District
One
issues
that
have
been
long-standing
and
may
become
worse.
S
The
city
council
assured
district
one
residence
that
the
navigation
Center
would
only
serve
as
transitional
housing
residents
are
willing
to
participate
in
this
process
to
ensure
the
best
outcome
possible
for
all
involved.
While
there
may
only
be

a

Future
residents
of
the
1100
home,
build
out
to
ensure
the
navigation
Center
is
properly
and
safely
integrated
into
the
neighborhood.
S
T
Yes,
my
name
is
Lars
Holm
I
was
born
and
raised
in
Palm
Springs.
My
family
has
had
the
same
home
since
1954
in
the
sunrise,
Park
area
and
I've
seen
a
lot
of
changes,
but
the
overspending
on
this
homeless,
shelter
is
gotten
way
out
of
hand
and
I
would
like
you
to
not
support
another
five
million
dollars
to
be
invested
in
it.
T
T
Plenty
of
cops
in
the
parking
lot
arresting
people
all
the
time,
so
I
felt
safe,
but
five
million
dollars
for
a
project,
that's
already
out
of
hand,
is
way
too
much.
The
the
spending
has
gotten
out
of
hand,
and
not
only
that
I
would
like
to
know
once
it
is
open.
What
is
going
to
be
the
monthly
expenses,
because
we
plan
on
having
medical,
mental
air
conditioning
there's
a
lot
in
keeping
this
place
open
from
month
to
month?
Will
Palm
Springs
be
responsible
for
that
expense?
U
Hi
Mayra
I
actually
am
not
on
the
phone
I'm
on
the
zoo,
so
I
I,
I'm
speaking
on
3A
also
I
began
working
on
this
project
in
August
of
2021,
and
here
it
is
almost
August
of
2024
and
not
one
shovel
has
hit
the
ground
so
to
speak.
We
built
the
downtown
faster
than
we're,
building
this
but
I'm
beginning
to
feel
the
failure
of
Roy's
Resource
Center
in
this
project.
U
Roy's
was
going
to
offer
so
many
projects
and
programs
that
are
needed
for
the
homeless
to
transition
into
successful
lives,
and
all
we
are
doing
is
value
engineering
out.
All
that
was
supposed
to
be
in
this
program
and
we're
adding
a
program
that
wasn't
supposed
to
be
and
wasn't
presented
to
the
citizens
so
I
I.
Now
we
have
a
project.
U
That's
had
so
many
consultants
that
it
feels
like
there
are
Consultants
to
the
Consultants
and
what
we've
ended
up
with
was
a
building
the
building,
a
that
had
none
of
the
services
that
were
promised
there
was
no
services
for
the
for
the
pets
of
the
homeless
homeless.
Pets
are
not
the
Fido
are
not
your
little
fluffy
pets,
they
have
mange.
They
have
they're,
not
spayed,
they
maybe
have
parvo
and
not
vaccinated,
which
would
have
which
would
not
have
been
safe
for
the
residents
that
we
were
putting
in.
U
But
we
had
no
service
area
planned
to
take
care
of
that.
We
had
a
group
of
beauticians
that
were
offering
to
come
in
free
and
volunteering
once
a
week
to
do
hair
so
that
people
going
out
for
jobs
or
or
people
looking
for
jobs
could
could
be
presentable.
We
designed
something
in
building
eight
that
had
a
one
stall,
bathroom
and
conference
rooms
for
up
to
20
people.
There.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
That
was
time
all
right.
The
next
item
is
the
consent
calendar.
It
will
entertain
a
motion
to
accept
the
consent
calendar
without
items.

I'd,
also
like
to
note
the
recusal
of
Mayor
Pro
tem
Bernstein
on
item
one
DD.
V
Honorable
mayor
go
ahead
just
also
a
correction,
a
brief
correction
to
the
consent
agenda
item
1j
is
the
fire.
Compliance
with
State
mandate
expect
inspection
reports
and
just
a
very
brief
change
on
that.
For
the
record.
Of
course,
we
have
the
California
State
Fire
Marshal,
mandated
annual
inspection
program
in
your
in
the
chart
on
page
two.
It
indicates
under
our
two
occupancy.
V
The
numbers
should
be
total
buildings
to
be
inspected
is
569
and
the
total
properties
that
were
inspected
is
569..
So
all
of
those
were
completed
for
the
year
and
also
for
in
the
occupancy
e
category,
the
total
number
of
buildings
to
be
inspected
is
18.
All
of
those
properties
were
inspected
as
well
for
a
100
success
rate,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
those
two
minor
changes
for
the
record.
Thank.
H
I
just
have
comments
on.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
on
One
V,
as
in
Victor
and
one
ws
and
whiskey.
The
road
pavement
I
want
to
make
sure
we
always
highlight
that
these
are
from
measure
J
dollars,
particularly
the
completed
ones.
I,
don't
think
we
mentioned
it
in
the
staff
report.
That
was
about
seven
million
dollars
last
year.
I
also
see
there's
a
potential
request
to
go
up
to
12
million
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
when
that
happens.
H
We
have
a
full
report
on
how
we've
done,
and
also
that
all
of
the
information
in
One,
V
and
W
is
put
online
I.
Think
the
last
Street
Paving
that
we
see
online
is
from
2019..
So
that
was
just
my
comments,
and
another
comment
is
that
we
still
have
contracts
that
are
going
to
people
outside
the
city
in
the
valley
and
we
should
keep
having
local
preference
and
increase
it
and
work
with
procurement
to
do
whatever
we
can
to
encourage
local
bidders
for
our
projects.
That
was
my
comments.
Thank.
J
Thank
you
agree
with.
You
really
appreciate
that,
and
also
I
had
flagged
that.
So
thank
you
to
the
mayor.
Pro
tem
agree.
You
know.
Seven
million
dollars
for
road
paving
is
an
incredible
success
story
for
our
community,
so
we'd
love
to
see
a
measure.
J
referenced
is
really
important
and
then
also
you
know,
press
coverage
and
the
work
that
we
do
to
share
that
with
our
community,
because
that's
an
incredible
win
I
do
think
we
should
do
more
work
as
well,
just
with
the
new
scores
of
the
roads.
J
J
One
thing
I
also
want
to
raise
is
I'd
love
to
just
see
if
we're
analyzing
the
work
that
came
before
and
the
quality
of
the
work
I
know,
a
lot
of
residents
had
complained
that
some
of
the
newly
paved
streets
had
had
some
issues
like
we're
already
cracking,
and
things
like
that.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure,
especially
if
we're
using
the
same
the
same
companies
doing
this
work
to
just
ensure
that
there's
some
metrics
of
you
know
of
oversight
of
that
work,
which
I'm
sure
is
happening
on
the
staff
level.
J
But
it
would
be
great
for
us
to
know
that
about
as
we
communicate
our
wins
to
the
community
and
then
I
just
wanted
to
lift
up
item
1q
as
well,
and
thank
our
firefighters
and
our
fire
managers
and
our
whole
team.
We're
going
through
a
bargaining
with
many
of
our
city
staff
unions
and
we're
giving
good
weight
wage
raises
to
our
team
and
really
taking
care
of
our
team,
and
so
I.
Just
wanted
to
thank
our
Sierra
fire
chief
is
here
and
other
staff
members.
J
A
A
A
J
You
so
this
is
a
request
to
approve
an
amendment
to
an
agreement
with
a
media
specialist
company
for
creative
and
media
support.
I
think
this
is
incredibly
important
for
the
city.
I
also
noted
that
it's
a
company
in
La
Quinta,
which
is
great,
we
love
to
support
the
Coachella
Valley,
but
it's
not
there's
a
lot
of
people
who
do
this
work
in
the
in
Palm
Springs
itself.
J
I
just
wanted
to
ask
for
the
RFP
process,
we're
not
getting
lists
of
who
all
bid
all
we're
getting
in
this
staff
report
is
the
final
company
that
was
selected
and
so
I'm
having
a
really
hard
time.
Analyzing
any
of
the
procurement
process,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
ask.
Is
that
typical
that
you're
just
presenting
to
us
the
one
company
that
was
recommended
versus
you
know
if
it's
an
open
bid
process?
If
there
were
other
bids.
J
Noticed
in
multiple
consent,
calendar
items
tonight,
for
example,
it's
just
not
listed
who
all
the
bids
were
because
I'm
interested
in
where
they're
coming
from
and
I'm,
not
able
to
see
that.
So,
if
it's
something
I'm
missing,
then
but
I'd
love
to
see
those
in
the
future.
Just
so
we
can
assess
because
I
am
thinking
through
if
we
need
to
redo
our
local
preference
ordinance.
So
we
can
do
some
of
that
work
from
a
policy
level
and
then
I
just
wanted
to
lift
up
you're
spending
a
lot
of
money
on
communication
support
and
Contracting.
J
You
know
I've
always
advocated
for
more
in-house
communication,
support,
more
in-house
media
and
social
media.
We're
spending
an
amount
of
money
that
would
pay
for
a
person
in
the
city,
so
I
just
wanted
to
lift
up
to
my
counsel
as
we
think
about
the
budget.
You
know
what
we
want
to
contract
out
and
what
we
want
to
have
in-house
as
expertise,
but
I'm
happy
to
support
the
this,
as
presented
today.
So
I'll
make
that
motion.
H
That
would
apply
if
they
actually
knew
about
it,
but
they're,
not
always
on
their
radar.
So
I
appreciate
that
you
brought
that
to
our
my
attention
before
and
I
hope
that
I
really
want
to
encourage
and
make
sure
you
have
the
resources
to
do
that
and
I
know.
At
least
a
council
would
support
that.
Yes,.
X
Absolutely
we
are
planning
the
vendor
fair
in
September,
and
the
reason
why
we
chose
September
is
to
let
the
businesses
come
back.
You
know
in
the
summertime,
it
gets
a
little
quiet,
so
we
thought
well,
we
didn't
want
anybody
to
miss
an
opportunity,
so
we
thought
we
would
do
it
in
September.
Then
we're
going
to
meet
with
the
city
of
La
Quinta
in
September,
also
and
we're
looking
at
in
the
future.
X
So
we're
going
to
expand
it
even
beyond
that
and
then
to
council
member
hostage's
comment
about
listing
the
firms
we
do
that
on
bids
we've
not
done
it
on
proposals
as
a
practice,
but
there's
no
reason
why
we
can't
and
bid
you
know
you
always
get
the
bidder
and
the
bid
amount.
But
on
proposals
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
different
factors
that
go
into
grading
those.
X
So
you
would
have
a
list
you
just
wouldn't
have
you
know
they
don't
go
off
low
bid,
so
you
don't
typically
do
the
list
with
cost,
because
then
that
causes
confusion
like
why
didn't
you
pick
the
low
bid
or
well,
it's
not
a
bid,
and
you
end
up
explaining
that
over
and
over
again.
So
that's
why
we
typically
don't
do
that,
but
providing
a
list
of
who
proposed.
That's
not
a
problem.
Thank.
J
A
A
A
Y
Course
my
name
is
Larry
clingaman
I'm,
the
I.T
director
for
the
city
of
Palm,
Springs
and
fiber
optics
I,
don't
know
if
some
of
you
remember
me
from
last
year.
My
first
meeting
is
one
of
my
passions.
So
there's
a
lot
of
grant
money
out
there
to
try
and
build
the
city
out.
So
we
started
down
a
process
last
year
of
applying
for
a
Latta
Grant
and
we
were
awarded
up
to
233
thousand
dollars
to
provide
a
fiber
optic
or
Broadband
master
plan.
Y
What
that
will
do
is
we
will
look
to
the
city,
we'll
look
to
the
constituents,
we'll
talk
to
the
business
owners,
other
government
agencies,
nonprofits
residents
carriers.
What
have
you
try
and
gain
the
interest
of
what
needs
to
happen
in
the
city
and
what
we
should
plan
to
do
going
forward?
And
then
the
constituent,
through
multiple
stakeholder
meetings,
engagement,
can
draw
out
some
business
plans
of
what
options
we
have
and
then
the
city
can
look
to
implement
those
plans
going
forward.
Y
Hopefully,
if
the
bead
money
that
passes,
which
is
what
do
Mr,
Biden
or
President
Biden
announced
last
week
or
this
week,
that
California
was
awarded
almost
two
billion
dollars
for
fiber
optic
funding
So.
The
plan
is
to,
through
this
master
plan,
generate
shovel
ready
projects
to
then
hopefully
go
for
next
year.
H
Y
I,
don't
know
if
the
actual
definition
of
that
the
target
of
this
is
what
we
do
is
we
look
to
include
those
communities
that
have
or
those
sections
of
communities
that
are
underserved.
It's
a
fairly
complex
definition
of
what
they
consider
underserved
they're
talking
about
Broadband
needs
so
anything
over.
Then
you
start
getting
into
megabits,
and
all
that
and
everybody
starts
stopping
listening
to
me
at
that
point.
Y
But
people
with
the
lower
speed
internet
connections,
it's
targeted
to
serve
those
communities
so
whether
it's
a
business
or
a
residential,
but
if
other
communities
or
government
institutions
are
along
the
path
to
serve
those,
they
can
also
get
served
at
the
same
time.
One
other
piece
that
I
forgot
to
mention
is
we're.
Also
looking
to
coordinator,
we
are
coordinating
with
cvag.
Y
H
Y
Y
That's
one
of
the
pieces
that
we're
looking
for,
in
addition
to
helping
the
residents,
have
better
service,
we're
also,
like
I,
said
earlier,
looking
to
partner
with
the
school
district,
the
tribes
and
even
the
carriers
just
to
try
and
find
the
best
way
to
build
out
this
infrastructure.
This
is
a
once
in
a
lifetime
opportunity.
With
this
funding
coming
up
So,
the
plan
is
to
try
and
figure
out
what
the
community
really
wants
and
could
use
going
forward
and
have
a
plan
to
go
forward.
I.
H
But
you
know,
if
we're
looking
at,
how
do
we
create
a
whole
new
industry
here
which
might
be
Tech?
You
know
we
could
be
silicon
desert,
but
we
also
look
like
we're
going
to
have
a
College
of
the
Desert
here.
That's
going
to
raise
it,
we
have.
Our
airport
is
going
up
significantly
that
it's
really
going
to
be
sort
of
a
an
economic
development
and
I
think
we
should
have
a
very
Broad
and
expansive
view
of
what
we
can
do.
That's
not
just
that.
H
We
don't
limit
ourselves,
since
this
is
a
once
in
a
lifetime.
Opportunity
and
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
individuals
in
in
who
have
vast
Tech
experience
in
our
community,
who
may
not
necessarily
have
a
business
here
but
would
understand
what
the
needs
of
the
tech
industry
are.
So
that's
something
that
I
would
like
to
be
involved
with
and
make
sure
that
our
city
staff
and
council
is
closely
involved
with
development
of.
A
J
You
I
was
going
to
pull
this
item
also
to
say
thank
you
for
bringing
this
forward.
Broadband
infrastructure
really
has
been
a
priority
of
the
council
and
the
community,
and
we
get
asked
about
it.
A
lot
so
really
appreciate
your
foresight
in
applying
for
this
and
securing
These
funds.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
about
other
funding
opportunities,
so
you
know
I
always
say
which
I
know
this
plan
isn't
going
to
be,
but
we
don't
want
plans
that
sit
on
a
shelf.
J
We
really
want
to
implement
them,
and
so
you
know
we
want
we
need
to
plan
and
that
will
support
our
ability
to
get
grant
funding
in
the
future.
I'm
sure
is
there
other
funding
from
this
cpuc
that
we
could
apply
for
now
or
do
we
really
need
to
wait
until
the
plan
is
completed?
How
does
that
additional
grant
funding
work?
Well,.
Y
I
I've
found
something
else
today
that
was
brought
to
my
attention
from
the
library
director
of
some
additional
funding
and
it's
identified
to
connect
libraries
with
other
community
centers,
so
I've
started
to
look
into
that,
and
we've
already
worked
a
couple
times.
We
just
applied
right
now
for
another
Grant
through
the
cpuc
to
update
the
public
internet
terminals
at
demuth,
and
if
you
recollect,
we
just
accepted
a
grant
recently
for
the
library.
So
that's
a
rolling
Grant
so
expect
to
see
multiples.
Y
J
Great,
that's
great
and
the
city
has
really
tried
to
expand
our
grant
capacity,
and
so
please
do
let
us
know:
we've
gone
the
six.
Nearly
six
years
I've
been
on
city
council.
We
had
an
in-house
Grant
person.
We
tried
to
contract
it
out
and
use
Consultants
really
I
think
the
success
we're
seeing
is
individual
staff
members
who
are
finding
them
and
bringing
it,
but
for
the
city
manager.
You
know
we
want
to
support
that
effort.
J
It's
obviously
worth
the
investment,
so
I
know
we've
hired
we've
hired
Consultants
to
help
in
Sacramento
looking
for
a
funding
opportunities
and
in
federal
budget
as
well.
So
please
do
rely
on
that
and
let
us
know
if
you
need
more
resources
or
support
to
do
that
Grant
finding
opportunity,
because
we
are
so
far
behind
in
Internet
infrastructure
in
the
city,
and
it
is
really
scary
as
like
the
num.
One
of
the
main
issues
we
need
to
do
to
compete
in
the
future
economy
is
to
have
access
so
really
appreciate
you
doing
that
work.
Thank
you.
J
Y
A
J
You
I
had
this
question
just
for
staff,
so
this
is
4.2
million
for
a
three-year
term
and
then
with
extensions
I.
Just
couldn't
tell
from
the
staff
report
is
this
new
activity
that
this
city
is
engaging
with
is
just
this
existing
and
the
term
has
expired.
I
couldn't
quite
find
that
information
in
this
staff
report
and
so
I,
couldn't
quite
tell
what
was
going
on
here.
I'm
still
not
used
to
seeing
four
million
dollar
things
come
to
quote
to
come
to
consent
which
I'm
getting
used
to
and
I
appreciate.
J
This
is
just
regular
business
for
the
city,
but
I
just
had
some
of
those
questions
and
then
also
the
vendors.
It
didn't
include
where
they're
from
and
I
very
much
like
to
see
that
information
I
see
this
vendors
from
India,
which
is
great
they're
in
the
Coachella
Valley.
So
it
just
asks
in
the
future
if
we
continue
to
put
the
location
of
the
business,
so
we
can
again
analyze
where
we're
Investing
For
million
dollars
of
City
funds
into
so
this
is
just
business
as
usual
and
not
changing
our
policy
with
tree
trimming.
W
That's
correct,
councilmember,
whole
stage.
This
is
a
renewal
of
a
contract.
We
went
out
to
bid
the
previous
contract.
Retreat
trimming
services
was
expiring,
so
we
just
went
out
and
renewed
this
process
and
we
will
continue
to
use
the
same
process
that
West
Coast
arborist
has,
as
far
as
making
sure
that
we
are
following
protocols
for
environmental
sustainability
as
well
and.
J
Z
Hi
hi
Tabitha
Richards
I'm
the
executive
program
administrator
for
the
city
manager's
office,
so
it
is
just
regular
business
that
we
are
that
we
did
go
out
to
bid
and
award
a
new
contract
to,
but
it
does
include
one
additional
piece
from
our
regular
maintenance.
They'll
be
doing
a
tree
inventory
on
top
of
our
annual
tree
trimming.
So
there
is
a
little
bit
of
an
increased
price
from
our
previous
contract,
but
it
is
comparable
to
our
previous
expenditures.
J
E
W
E
J
A
You
thank
you.
So
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
and
looks
like
some
have
already
voted,
so
we
can
go
ahead
and
item
1s
passes
five
zero.
At
this
time.
We'll
move
to
item
one
double
e,
which
is
I
believe
regarding
our
administrative
contract
agreement
with
the
Palm
Springs
Chamber
of
Commerce
on
the
Walk
of
Stars
mayor
Pro
tem.
H
E
Protein:
okay,
yes,
thank
you
and
I
appreciate
Nona
for
being
here
today
and
and
I
want
to
PL,
send
out
some
Kudos,
and
you
know
truly
well
executed
program
for
these
last
five
years
and
if
you've
had
the
opportunity
to
attend
any
one
of
the
ceremonies
they're
extremely
well
executed
and
the
Chamber
has
done
a
great
job.
I
think
my
comments
today
are
just
on
content
of
the
agreement,
so
maybe
they're
more
directed
to
City,
attorney
and
Jeff.
E
So
my
my
concern
is
I,
don't
see
where
we've
got
a
paragraph
talking
about
the
use
of
the
name
and
the
reference
of
the
name,
Palm
Springs,
Walk
of
Stars
and
and
I
see
it.
It's
different
use,
use
different
ways
in
different
places
and
I
think
we
need
to
have
it
standardized
and
include
that
that
paragraph
of
of
reference
and
use
in
the
contract
we're
using
walk
of
Walk
Of
The
Stars,
Palm
Springs.
The
website
is
walkofthestars.com.
E
I
think
we
need
to
have
our
brand
represented,
even
though
Palm
Springs
Florida
isn't
a
city.
It's
a
village
I
think
we
need
to
say
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
Walk
of
Stars
program
in
the
use.
Whenever
we're
using
it.
We
need
to
constantly
show
that
you
know
this
is
an
incredible
asset
for
the
city
of
Palm,
Springs
and
and
I
think
from
a
branding
standpoint
we
need
to.
E
We
need
to
have
that
included
in
the
in
the
contract,
and
we
are
the
the
contract
does
include
another
1200
bucks,
I
I,
believe,
if
I'm
for
new
materials
for
this
new
round.
So
if
we
needed
to
make
an
adjustment
to
the
way
it's
looking
Now's
the
Time
to
do
it,
you
know
with
any
of
our
materials.
So
we
can
have
City
of
Palm
Springs
Walk
of
Stars
administered
by
the
Chamber
of
Commerce.
Are
we
just
need
to
get
that
defined?
So
not
only
does
the
chamber
know
know
the
proper
use.
E
Everybody
within
the
city
has
that
that
proper
use
and
then
the
only
the
other
item
I
noted
when
I
was
going
through.
This
is
we're
defining
ownership
of
the
documents.
As
of
today
in
the
agreement,
or
maybe
going
back
five
years
of
the
materials
that
are
prepared
under
this
agreement,
but
what
about
the
documents
that
existed
prior
to
the
first
agreement,
to
show
that
that
we
own
those
documents?
Also
so
anything
that
was
in
existence
of
Waka,
Stars,
Palm
Springs?
E
K
E
I
E
H
Ahead,
thank
you.
Nona
and
I
I.
First
of
all,
in
full
disclosure,
I
want
to
say,
I
was
part
of
the
Walk
of
star
selection
committee
up
until
I
was
on
city
council,
so
I've
been
very
closely
involved
and
I
have
to
say
the
difference
that
Nona
and
the
team
have
made
from
the
prior
prior
system.
We
had
is
just
exponentially
incredible
and
I
have
watched
it
and
I've
seen
how
it's
everything
has
been
done
and
and
I
think
this
is
a
real
asset
for
our
city
and
I.
H
So
some
of
my
comments
here
are
basically
tied
to
tied
to
making
sure
that
that
always
stays
so
I
did
want
to
suggest
that
there
be
a
council
member
on
the
selection
committee,
whether
it
could
be
voting
or
not
voting,
but
there
may
be
certain
issues
with
that
they
can
weigh
in
on
as
well.
If
they're,
that
would
be
helpful.
I
also
want
to
just
ensure
that
the
selection
committee
represents
the
diversity
of
our
community.
H
H
Obviously
the
local
humanitarians
do
I,
don't
know
if
it's
defined
about
sports
stars
and
entertainment,
but
I
think
most
of
that
time
they
do
I
just
think
we
should
try
to
enforce
that,
and
I
just
want
to
go
back
to
the
app
which
I
think
is
really
terrific
and
I.
Don't
think
enough.
People
actually
know
about
it
and
I
want
to
re
and
I
think
we
should,
if
we
need
more
to
reinvigorate
how
that
is,
presented
and
marketed.
I
know
we're
talking
about
additional
Communications
staff
and
funding
in
the
city.
H
So
if
we
can
help
do
that
as
well,
I
think
would
be
great
and
also
with
the
actual
ceremonies
themselves.
You
know
those
are
major
events
for
us
to
be
able
to
promote
ourselves
and
they're.
All
done
really
well
and
they're.
Very
interesting,
I
have
to
say
and
they're
sort
of
very
heartfelt
and
and
moving,
and
so
I
would
like
to
see.
You
know
those
get
more
promoted.
H
Someone
by
the
chamber,
but
also
by
the
city
and
the
other
thing
that
has
come
up
just
from
from
from
Community,
is
that
whether
spouses
or
employees
of
honorees
can
pay
for
the
star
and
I
think
we
might
want
to
look
at
something
that
says,
maybe
just
they
can't
pay
for
a
majority
of
it.
I
know
that
sometimes
people
have
the
money
and
they
feel
awkward
asking
friends
to
do
it,
but
I
think
as
a
precedent.
H
It
probably
works
out
better
so
that
nobody
is
seen
as
buying
their
star,
which
the
selection
actually
and
again
I
was
on
the
committee
and
has
continued
to
be
great.
So
those
are
my
comments
for
changes.
I,
don't
know
how
to
incorporate
I.
Don't
know.
I
have
spoken
to
to
Nona
about
these,
so
these
aren't
coming
as
surprises
and
it's
all
from
the
point
of
view
of
making
sure
this
keeps
getting
promoted
as
a
real
City
asset
that
we
have
I,
don't
know
if
I
have
to
add
those.
A
K
J
Thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much
for
taking
over
this
program.
For
us,
we
appreciate
it.
I
also
have
been
along
for
the
ride
from
when
we
worked
with
you
to
set
this
up,
so
it
is
surprising
to
have
the
term
pass
but
really
appreciate
it.
I
think
you've
done
an
excellent
job
and
I
didn't
review
any
of
my
questions
with
you
ahead
of
time.
So
apologize
for
that
mayor,
Pro
tem,
is
on
top
of
it.
More
than
I
am
I.
J
J
You
know
where
we're
going
so
the
future
of
the
program
which
I'm
sure
you
have
great
ideas
about
and
you've
really
LED
that
work
so
I
appreciate
where
you've
brought
the
program
from
I
was
a
little
surprised
some.
So
so,
just
from
where
we've
been
so
initially,
we
actually
had
tried
to
get
Council
involvement
out
of
this
program
and
project.
J
We
didn't
want
any
stars
to
be
like
have
any
undue
political
influence
or
even
have
you
know
and
any
concerns
about
impropriety,
and
so
we
thought
that
it
was
best
if
Council
completely
stayed
out
of
it.
I
do
agree
that
there's
a
value
in
having
counsel
involved,
because
it
is
a
program
and
a
partnership
with
the
city,
and
so
you
know
that's
what
a
council
member
would
probably
bring
to
those
conversations.
Is
you
know
how
do
we
get
out
to
the
public?
J
What
we've
done
and
what
is
our
Five-Year
Plan
for
this,
and
what's
the
build
out,
look
like
so
I
agree
with
the
interest
there.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
do
it
in
a
way
where
it
doesn't
seem.
Like
you
know,
council
members
are
influencing,
who
gets
stars
and
I
think
that
had
been
the
original
concern.
When
we
worked
on
this
five
years
ago,.
H
You
know
terrific
and-
and
that
was
my
point
was
not
to
influence
and-
and
you
know
the
way
that
the
the
selections
are
done
now
is
the
Voting
is
anonymous
and
so
Council
would
not
vote,
and
there
is
not
discussion
on
it.
So,
as
far
as
I
can
understand,
it
wouldn't
be
any
influence
on
it,
but
more
of
a
red
flag.
H
F
I
think
what
I
was
going
to
say
has
now
been
said,
but
we
were
very
intentional
in
not
wanting
any
member
of
city
council
to
participate
in
a
decision
over
who
did
or
did
not
receive
a
star,
but
Council
involvement,
otherwise
is
appropriate,
but
I'm
going
to
take
this
opportunity
to
say.
Thank
you
Nona.
Thank
you
to
everyone
from
the
chamber.
You
have
been
absolutely
Stellar
in
the
fashion
that
this
has
been
run
and
as
far
as
I'm
concerned,
I
can't
imagine
anyone
else
being
in
charge.
Thank
you.
Oh.
A
A
H
So
my
my
motion
is
to
approve
this
and
with
just
adding
that
a
council
member
be
a
non-voting
member
of
the
selection
committee
that
we
limit
the
amount
that
spouses
or
employees
can
pay
to
to
to
less
than
a
majority
of
the
cost
and
the
honorees
have
some
connection
to
Palm
Springs
and
the
other
things
are
just
supportive.
So
those
are
not
part
of
the
contract.
I
I,
don't
think
so
because
I
think
well,
there
have
been
situations
where
somebody's
getting
a
star
in
the
family
has
totally
paid
for
the
star,
whether
that's
all
the
members
of
the
family,
contributing
or
just
one
person.
It's
it's
going
to
be
a
little
difficult
for
us
to
know
where
the
money
comes
from,
especially
if
they
walk
in
with
one
check.
Yeah.
I
Say
you
know,
we've
collected,
we
don't
question
where
the
money
came
from,
so
I'm
not
sure
how
we
would
monitor
that
necessarily,
but
it
could
be
suggested
on
the
website
when
they're
filling
out
the
application
that
we
can
word
it
in
a
way.
However,
you
would
like
it
worded
if
that's
important.
It's.
AA
Also
this
year
we
implemented
where
you
can't
fundraise.
It
wasn't
very
clear
on
the
application
of
you
couldn't
fundraise
before
you
were
actually
accepted,
so
that
made
it
sound
like
if
someone
raised
enough
money
before
they
were
accepted
through
the
committee
that
they
could
actually
pay
for
their
star.
So
we
updated
that
verbiage.
So
now
it's
very
clear
that
there
can
be
any
public
fundraising
at
all,
not
even
by
family
but
just
by
any
outside
sources,
so
that
kind
of
helped
navigate
people
avoiding
the
thought
of
paying
for
their
star
prior
to
being
accepted.
It.
E
Feel
it
feels
to
me
like
we
don't
need
to
include
it
council,
member,
because
the
committee
is
going
to
approve
a
nomination,
so
that
process
is
blind
and
it
happens,
and
the
committee
doesn't
know
where
the
money's
coming
from.
So
it's
not
until
the
committee
approves
this
star
going
forward
that
then
the
concern
about
money
where
the
money's
coming
from
may
come
up.
So
I,
don't
know.
I,
don't
know
if
we
need
to
have
a
guideline,
because
it's
not
material
to
the
decision
that
the
committee
is
making.
H
AA
O
H
So
my
three,
my
I'm,
going
to
revise
my
motion
to
say
that
there'll
be
a
council
member,
a
non-voting
council
member
on
the
selection
committee
that
that
the
honorees
should
have
a
connection
to
Palm
Springs
and
that
we
highly
suggest
that
it's
a
not
a
single
member
of
the
family.
Paying
for
majority
of
the
store
and.
J
You
I
agree
with
all
of
those
except
the
one
about
the
family
member
paying
for
this
majority
of
the
star.
So
can
you
where?
What
is
the
current
system
and
then
what's
being
recommended
because
I'm
confused
about
why
we
care
how
people
are
paying
for
this
star
just
like
for
an
equity
consideration?
If
you
I,
don't
understand
why
we
don't
allow
fundraising
for
a
star
and
it
only
allows
Evan.
I
Was
only
saying
before
you
were
approved
because
we
have
in
the
past
had
people
that
put
an
application
and
they
start
fundraising
and
the
Press
gets
a
hold
of
it
and
says
oh
they're
getting
a
star
right
and
they
were
never
approved,
so
the
wording
is
until
you're
approved,
but
then
once
they're
approved
they're
approved.
So
we
wouldn't
then
say:
oh
just
one
family
members
paying
so
you're.
Not
you
know
it's
a
right.
It's
a
sticky
slope.
In
a
sense,
we
don't
monitor
where
the
funds
come
from
and.
AA
Also
we
so
you
know,
for
example,
this
year
we
had
one
star
that
they
were
brought
in
numerous
checks
of
like
250
250,
and
they
had
one
that
wrote
a
check
for
like
ten
thousand
and
five
thousand
so
once
they're
they're
accepted
to
the
committee.
There's
not
really,
you
know
we
don't
monitor
other
than
is
your
15
000
and
30
days
before
the
actual
ceremony.
AA
J
O
J
H
H
E
Money
doesn't
come
into
the
picture
until
the
committee
has
already
decided
who's
going
to
win
or
who's
going
to
be
honored
with
the
star
so
Equitable.
It's
there
isn't
an
inequity,
because
the
committee
is
a
is
blindly
going
and
quietly
looking
at
these
applicants
to
decide
who's
going
to
get
selected
and
they
don't
know
who's
paying
for
it.
They
don't
know
who's
going
to
get
selected
or
or
how
the
money's
being
raised
or
where
the
money's
coming
from.
H
H
My
point
was
trying
to
make
a
Level
Playing
Field,
so
that
council,
member
holstich,
can
ask
every
council
member
she's
worked
with
over
the
last
40
years,
10
years
to
help
pay
for
her
star,
but
that
that
was
really
my
reasoning
so
that
it
wasn't
only
for
wealthy
people
to
be
able
to
get
a
store
and,
if
I,
if
that,
doesn't
come
through
in
this
request
or
suggestion,
then
it's
it's
not
something.
I'm
gonna
hold
this
up
on,
but
that
was
sort
of
the
point.
But.
E
H
A
A
A
At
this
time
we
are
going
to
move
to
our
business
and
legislative
section.
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
item
3A
to
appropriate
funds
for
the
homeless,
navigation,
Center
and
early
entry
facility
in
the
amount
of
five
million
dollars
and
approval
of
amendment
number
three
to
Professional
Services
agreement
with
John
Friedman
Alice
Kim
Architects.
May
we
have
a
staff
report.
Please.
AB
Thank
you
mayor
mayor
Pro,
tem,
council
members
good
evening,
Jay
verratta,
director
of
community
and
economic
development.
Some
of
you
were
sitting
as
council
members
when
Barbara
poppy
presented
her
report
on
homelessness
and
her
top
priority
was
housing
and
more
housing
and
another
of
her
top
priorities.
AB
The
design
process
for
this
project
was
extensive,
10,
Community
meetings,
surveys
lived
experience,
focused
groups,
resident
advisory
committee
and
shelter
provider.
Experience
all
contributed
to
the
design
of
the
project,
but
when
all
the
ideas
had
been
Incorporated
and
it
came
to
light
that
the
available
funding
would
fall
short,
we
were
able
to
secure
additional
funding
from
the
county
and
the
City,
so
we
moved
forward
and
put
the
project
out
to
bid
at
that
time.
This
is
around
April
of
2023.
AB
AB
Getting
back
to
the
Barbara
Papa
report,
recommendations
for
housing
and
more
housing
and
to
create
new,
permanent,
supportive
and
Bridge
housing
units
and
earning
and
adding
the
early
entry
facility
for
the
city,
Palm
Springs.
The
city
would
be
on
track
to
create
a
Continuum
of
housing
resources
within
the
city.
In
this
diagram
it
shows
the

assistance
and
intake

E
AB
AC
Good
evening,
John
multavo
city
engineer,
so
this
project
went
through
several
phases
to
to
get
to
the
end
result
of
the
cost
that
we
see
before
us
today.
The
very
first
phase
was
when
we
were
initially
trying
to
to
retrieve
or
achieve
Award
of
a
grant
so
that
at
the
very
initial
stages
there
was
certain
designed
elements
that
were
not
known.
The
site
was
not
really
known.
The
issues
with
the
utilities
were
not
known,
but
the
grant
needed
to
move
forward.
AC
So
at
that
time
there
was
a
budget
put
together
applied
for
the
grant
and
we
received
it
luckily
and-
and
we
received
the
grant,
so
that
was
the
very,
very
first
phase
of
this
project.
Once
we
received
the
grant,
we
hired
the
the
architect
consultant
and
we
started
working
with
our
team
to
hire
a
construction
management
team
that
would
help
us
through
the
development
of
the
project.
So
when
we
hired
the
architect
they
they
developed
plans.
So
we
got
to
a
point
about
before
February
and
early
February,
or
we
had
design
development
plans.
AC
What
I
want
to
call
maybe
40
to
50
plans
at
that
time?
We
already
had
our
construction
management
team
on
board.
Essentially
our
contractor
that
was
evaluating
the
plans,
but
still
the
site
wasn't
truly
developed.
The
full
scope
of
the
utilities
was
still
being
investigated.
The
full
plans
of
the
architect
had
in
mind
The
Hardscape
landscape,
all
that
was
still
in
its
infancy,
but
we
needed
to
really
look
at
what
those
costs
were.
AC
So
our
team
put
together
a
cost
that
we
felt
was
with
their
experience
in
similar
projects,
they
were
able
to
come,
come
up
with
the
cost,
but
unfortunately,
at
that
time,
because
the
plans
were
not
fully
developed,
we
really
fell
short
of
what
the
true
costs
were
going
to
be.
So
we
we
really
were
were
not
prepared
at
that
point
to
really
assume
or
or
get
to
the
point
after
we
developed
fully
construction
documents
and
then
able
to
bid
the
job
so
what
we
saw
at
the
very
beginning.
The
first
number
was
an
estimate.
F
So
I
think-
and
this
comes
as
no
surprise
to
you-
we
can't
be
surprised
here
up
on
Council
and
if
there's
going
to
be
an
increase
in
cost
that
has
to
be
projected
to
us
at
the
earliest
possible
dates.
So
that's
communicated
to
the
public
based
on
what
you
know
at
this
point.
Where
are
we
in
terms
of
the
reliability
of
the
cost
estimates
that
are
being
given
to
us
this
evening?.
AC
So
the
good
thing
is
today:
we
don't
have
Costa
estimates,
we
actually
have
cost.
This
is
what
the
project
is
going
to
cost,
of
course,
and
I
will
caution.
This
is
a
construction
project.
Construction
projects
always
come
with
unknowns
where
we
have
built
into
our
budget
to
the
unknowns
we
try
to
project
or
or
have
enough
budget
to
try
to
address
the
unknowns
during
construction,
but
for
now
these
are
true.
Construction
costs.
AC
AC
V
Council
member
Middleton,
thank
you
very
much
for
that
comment.
It
is
a
slight
change
in
the
scope.
However,
let
me
kind
of
walk
through
just
a
couple
of
points
that
I
think
are
really
important.
What
we're
trying
to
be
laser
focused
on
is
your
direction
to
us.
We
need
to
get
help
for
people
that
are
out
in
the
streets
that
are
in
the
wash
move
with
all
due
speed.
You
do
let's
get
going
here.
We
don't
have
time
to
waste.
People
are
in
need,
so
that
was
our.
That
was
our
big.
V
That
was
our
big
Focus.
The
good
news
is,
as
Mr
mantavo
indicated.
We
have
really
a
month
from
now
or
slightly
after
a
month
from
now,
we
will
start
seeing
site
work
being
done
on
the
site
dirt
being
pushed
around
getting
the
site
prepped
for
the
modular
units
to
be
delivered.
The
modular
units
are
on
schedule
to
be
delivered
on
in
September,
and
so
that's
on
schedule
as
well.
The
reason
so
thinking
about
that
first
point
I
make
we're
trying
to
get
people
off
the
streets
quickly.
V
We
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
folks
out
there.
That
will
be
ideal
candidates
to
go
into
these
modular
units,
but
we
want
to
get
them
ready
to
go
into
those
units.
There's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
people
that
might
need
some
assistance
getting
ready
to
go
into
their
own
self-contained
units.
So
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
is
figure
out
a
way
to
get
people
off
the
street.
Our
partners
with
Martha's
are
experts
at
helping
people
make
that
transition
and
getting
them
ready
to
go
into
their
own
units,
so
we're
working.
V
V
I
think
it's
really
important
to
mention
that
really
great
thanks
to
director
Montalvo
for
the
work
that
he's
done
when
those
first
initial
bids
came
in.
They
were
almost
15
million
dollars
over
budget,
and
we
know
talking
to
contractors
Builders
people
all
around
the
country.
Construction
costs
are
going
through
the
roof
and
through
a
lot
of
his
good
work,
he
was
able
to
really
value
engineer
that
down
to
a
much
a
much
lower
number.
V
We
were
not
going
to
come
forward
to
his
Council
and
ask
for
a
15
million
dollar
overrun
that
just
wasn't
happen,
but
but
working
through
that,
he
still
had
to
keep
in
mind
the
obligations
we
have
to
the
project
home
key
money.
So
we
have
to
comply
with
that.
We
have
to
work
with
the
county
Martha's
so
that
we
can
deliver
a
project
that
meets
all
of
the
criteria
that
we
need
to
have
happen.
V
So
what
I
will
say
to
the
council
members
is
that
the
one
the
one
area-
that's
still
a
little
fluid
right
now
and
it's
been
referenced
a
little
bit
is
we
feel
we
feel
good
about
the
construction
costs
the
bids
are
in.
We
know
what
what
people
are
going
to
deliver
we're
working
with
Martha's
and
the
county
now
on
the
operations
and
maintenance
costs
that
we
hasn't
been
completely
worked
through.
Yet
we're
working
on
that
I'd
love
to
be
able
to
bring
back
an
operations
and
maintenance
agreement
to
you.
V
AD
Good
answer
councilman,
if
I
could
add
on
to
that
in
addressing
the
scope,
because
I
know
that
came
up
under
public
comments,
I
think
the
counselors
that
were
here
and
I
think
even
Ron
and
Jeff.
You
know
this
as
well
is
that
building
C
was
always
meant
to
be
a
Sheltering
component.
It
just
wasn't
part
of
this
phase
of
home
key,
so
comments
were
made
too
about
Martha's
abandoning
the
the
emergency
shelter.
They
didn't
really
abandon
it.
AD
AD
One
final
thing
is
that
you
all
know
I've
been
on
this
since
the
very
beginning,
and
we
were,
as
you
know,
the
timeline
to
get
the
home
key
application
in
was
very,
very
tight
and
so
to
joelle's
point
is
that
we
came
up
with
the
budget
that
we
thought
was
going
to
get
us
there.
But,
as
you
all
know,
too
is
inflation
supply
chain
issues.
We've
had
many
affordable
housing
projects,
including
the
Monarch
that
have
come
back
and
asked
the
county
for
more
dollars.
So
this
this
is
a
system-wide
problem.
Okay,.
F
AD
Probably
the
biggest
city
county
project
that
it
is
that's
going
on
in
the
county
right
now,
so
the
county
is
in
now
for
about
15
million
dollars
on
this
project.
Originally,
the
land
costs
that
we
did
and
then
additional
allocations
of
arpa
dollars.
American
Recovery
plan
act,
sorry
as
well
as
the
home
key
dollars
as
well,
that
we
leveraged
as.
F
AD
That's
a
very
rare
thing
in
this
County
Corona
has
done
a
great
job
of
that,
but
Palm
Springs
is
really
has
donated
more
than
any
other,
and
we
value
this
partnership.
We're
actually
using
not
only
this
partnership
but
the
one
with
Corona,
as
well
as
an
example
and
a
model
to
take
across
the
county,
and
it's
actually
being
recognized
in
the
state
as
a
best
practice
model
as
well.
F
I've
got
two
last
questions.
One
of
the
things
we've
assured
the
public
from
day.
One
is
that
this
will
not
be
a
drop-in
center,
that
there
will
not
be
individuals
loitering
in
and
around
this
Center.
What
reassurance
can
we
give
to
the
public
that
that
is
not
going
to
happen,
and
none
of
these
changes
are
going
to
impact
our
Fidelity
to
that
commitment.
V
Yes,
council
member,
you
know
the
whole
idea
is
you
know
we
want
to
get
people
into
a
stable,
a
modular
unit
where
they
have
their
own
space.
They
can
have
their
own
dignity
living
in
their
own
space
and
trying
to
get
them
ready
ready.
For
that.
The
whole
point
of
trying
to
I
you
know
trying
to
get
some
folks
into
building
eight
early
is
to
help
get
them,
get
them
ready
and
prepared,
and
there
shouldn't
be
any
reason.
I
know
a
lot
of
you
have
toured
the
facility
you've
gone
through
the
buildings.
V
AD
The
right
way-
and
that
goes
back
to
that
system
flow
so
that
you
know
the
real
drop
in
place-
is
the
access
center.
The
navigation
Center
is
a
referral
place
as
well.
Martha's
has
an
incredible
track
record
of
security
and
a
Good
Neighbor
policy
and
they've
made
that
quite
clear
that
that
will
be
the
case
here
as
well.
F
Lastly,
and
Scott,
this
comes
as
no
surprise
to
you.
I
am
concerned
that
we've
asked
folks
on
staff
who
already
have
full-time
jobs
and
then
some
to
do
additional
work
and
I'll
deferred
a
year
judgment
as
to
the
project
management
Staffing
that
we
need,
but
if
there
is
additional
resources
in
project
management
that
you
feel
you
need,
you
certainly
have
our
support
to
get
it.
V
V
Joelle
and
Jay
have
a
lot
on
their
plates
right
now,
with
a
million
things
going
on
we,
you
know
we
have
some
resources
in
the
budget
and
we'll
talk
more
about
that
for
more
Economic
Development
support
coming
forward,
but
you
know
we
just
have
a
lot
of
issues
and
I
appreciate
that
comment,
and
we
will
come
back
to
you
if
we've
it,
you
know
as
soon
as
we
think
we
need
those
resources,
so
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
AD
Oh
I'm,
so
sorry,
Greg,
Rodriguez
I'm,
a
deputy
director
with
the
Riverside
County
Housing
Workforce
Solutions,
Department
priorly,
with
supervisor
Perez's
office.
This
has
been
a
baby
of
mine
for
almost
three
years
now.
I
do
want
to
highlight
too.
The
timeline
was
brought
up
too.
Is
it
well
conceptually?
We
started
thinking
about
this
two
years
ago.
AD
The
home
key
application
didn't
go
in
until
January
of
2022,
and
then
it's
not
like
nobody's
been
doing
any
work
right,
weekly
meetings,
we've
had
where
every
other
week
now,
because
we're
pretty
much
you
know
until
we
get
construction
but
City
staff's
done
an
absolutely
amazing
job.
The
Architects
have
been
incredible:
The,
Tilden
coil
as
well.
It's
just
really
been
the
supply
chain
issues
and
the
electrical
systems
learn
more
about
gear
switches
unless
last
year
than
I
care
to
know
about.
So
thank.
A
V
Mayor,
if
I
could
just
make
one
other
brief
comment,
you
know
I
see
our
friends
from
Martha's
Village
sitting
out
in
the
audience,
and
we've
been
working
diligently
diligently
with
them
throughout
this
process.
So
we're
going
to
continue
on
that
and,
like
I,
said
I
hope
you
know
we're
expecting
to
bring
back
operations
and
maintenance
agreement
to
you
very
very
as
soon
as
we
as
soon.
AD
E
Craig,
you
know
we're
hearing
frequently
at
least
I'm
hearing
frequently.
You
know
you
need
to
stop
this
project,
it's
yeah
a
tremendous
amount
of
money
and
we
need
to.
We
need
to
come
up
with
a
different
approach
of
the
31
million
dollars
that
we're
getting
or
that
have
been
committed
to
the
project
from
home.
Key
the
American
Rescue
plan,
Inland
Empire
Health
Plan.
AD
All
of
it,
obviously,
the
county
would
probably
sell
the
land.
We
would
have
to
forego
the
home
key
funding,
which
is
16..
It's
the
16
million
pot
yeah
and
then
I
mean
I
could
technically
go
back
to
ihp
and
Molina
and
ask
for
a
reallocation,
but
it
will
not
meet
the
metrics
under
the
housing
and
homeless
and
Senate
program
for
the
state.
So
we
probably
couldn't
do
that.
AD
It's
also
I
know.
People
are
frustrated.
Trust
me
I'm,
just
as
frustrated,
but
the
thing
is
is
this:
is
the
model
that
works
and
so
I
when
they're
telling
us
to
stop
this
I,
don't
know
what
they
want
us
to
do
if
it's
just
to
pop
up
a
shelter
which
is
not
the
most
effective
way
to
treat
homelessness
at
all
one.
AD
It
just
shows
that
the
success
rate
is
like
between
10
and
20
percent,
where
navigation
standards
like
this
with
an
element
of
transitional
housing,
have
a
60
to
70
percent
success
rate
and
Martha's
will
attest
to
that.
Additionally,
is
it
is
extremely
difficult
to
braid
funding
like
this.
That's
been
the
most
work
that
I've
had
to
do
on
this
project
is
to
braid
this
funding
and,
to
be
honest
with
you
and
it's
a
great
question
is
that
we
have
timelines
on
when
to
spend
arpa
dollars.
AD
E
AD
These
are
not
cheap
and
you
all
know
that
just
to
step
up
the
three-month
summer
shelters
that
we
did
for
the
last
I
think
we've
done
them.
Four
years
now
in
a
row,
that's
a
three
to
four
to
five
hundred
thousand
dollar
operation.
For
just
that
short
amount
of
time.
That's
with
no
building
costs,
that's
with
some
donated
power.
AD
E
Right
right,
so
thank
you
for
that
yeah
so
and
then
we're
seeing
today
that
the
cities
investment
is
8.1
million
dollars,
city
manager,
that
am
I
looking
at
the
right
number,
yes
yeah,
so
we're
investing
8.1
and
we
have
we're
standing
to
lose
31
million
dollars.
So
it's
really
a
difficult
position
for
us
to
be
in
to
say
we're.
Gonna,
we're
gonna,
try
another
model.
E
AD
Yeah
Marxist
will
have
operational
plan
for
that
as
well
again,
the
you
know.
The
access
point
is
the
access
center
so
that
any
issues
that
were
brought
up
about
you
know
whether
pets
needed
vaccinations
or
they
needed
treatment
that
can
all
be
worked
out
through
that
and
through
you
know,
the
local
animal,
shelter
or
or
care
so
any
pets
that
would
be
bought
to
the
navigation
Center.
Even
if
they
were
in
the
Sheltering
type
system,
they
would
have
basically
been
intake
at
the.
AD
E
V
AB
Yes,
councilmember,
it
is
part
of
the
operational
plan
and
the
draft
agreements
we've
been
working
on.
There's
security
allocations.
We've
been
working
closely
with
our
Police
Department
to
coordinate,
what's
happening
in
the
neighborhood
and
even
for
working
with
the
homeless
individuals.
So
it's
going
to
be
a
couple.
Different
points
of
Entry,
which
could
be
through
Martha's
at
the
Access
Center
or
the
police
department
may
be
able
to
provide
direct
referrals
also.
AE
AC
AE
And
maybe
let
me
jump
in
there
and
add
a
little
bit
to
that
when
we
first
contemplated
purchasing
the
McCarthy
site,
the
intent
was
to
use
the
existing
buildings.
As
we
went
through
the
home
key
Grant
process,
it
became
clear
that
we
couldn't
use
the
buildings
for
living
units,
and
so
then
we
had
to
add
the
modular
units
to
the
site
with
the
addition
of
the
modular
units.
That's
what
generated
the
need
for
additional
power,
which
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
need
switch
gear,
new
switch
gear
on
the
side
absent
the
modular
units.
B
J
Go
ahead,
thank
you,
I
just
want
to
add
to
since
I've
been
along
the
project
from
the
beginning.
It
is
apples
to
oranges
because,
like
you
said,
the
site
planning
was
different.
The
building
the
intention
of
what
was
which
buildings
would
be
used
and
for
what
were
different.
Originally
the
costing
was
for
the
home
key
State
application
for
funding,
so
that
wasn't
really
a
budget
in
the
way
of
a
construction
budget
would
be.
It
was
an
estimate
based
on
I
think
what
did
we
have
a
few
weeks
to
apply
for.
X
J
That's
two
weeks:
I
think
we
worked
on
that
and
we
I
was
just
you
know:
I
was
there,
you
were
doing
all
the
hard
work,
but
so
that
really
wasn't
accurate
estimate
of
construction
costs.
I
just
want
the
public
to
be
clear
because
we
were
saying
here's
what
we
are
envisioning
here
is
the
dream
state.
Please
help
fund
us.
We
got
16
million
dollars
from
that
project
and
then
we
moved
forward
and
building
it
out
and
talking
about
what
other
services
are
needed
and
finding
other
funding
I
mean
to
be
able
to
deliver.
AD
It's
important
to
note,
too
that
in
the
overall
budget,
that's
including
some
operational
costs-
it
include
includes
the
price
of
acquiring
the
land
and
mayor
Pro
Tim,
as
well
as,
ideally
because
it's
been
done
in
a
different
way
would
have
made
my
life
a
little
bit
easier.
But
we
had
a
very
nice
member
of
our
city
purchased
the
property
before
we
were
really
ready
to
pull
or
to
purchase
it
through
the
county.
So
again
to
councilmember
holton's
point.
AD
We
were
on
that
really
short
timeline
on
the
home
key
and
somebody
purchased
the
property
that
we
had
to
make
sure
that
we
were
buying
for.
So.
Ideally,
if
you
know,
if
I
was
buying
a
lot
to
build,
a
home,
I
would
have
done
a
little
bit
more
infrastructure
due
diligence.
But
it
really
is
because
of
the
way
that
the
project
changed
and
the
addition
of
the
modular
units.
H
AB
At
that
time
we
utilized
an
architect
to
help
do
some
preliminary
site
plans
and
costing
infrastructure
wise.
We
had
a
site
assessment
that
was
done,
but
as
Deputy
city
manager
fagg
explained,
the
project
at
that
time
did
not
include
the
extensive
use
of
the
open
area,
which
now
requires
the
utilities
where
the
living
facilities
would
be.
It
was
contemplated
as
congregate,
living
inside
building
C,
essentially.
H
H
AC
AC
The
process
of
the
bidding
or
well
the
bids
have
to
you
know
they
run
so
what
we
did
was
required,
a
construction
manager
at
risk,
so
a
contractor
to
do
the
bidding
for
us.
They
were
running
the
bids
themselves
and
they
opened
the
biz
they
put
it
out
and
as
they
were,
the
bids
were
coming
in
or
closing.
Then
we
started
figuring
out
what
was
happening
so
I
guess
I'm
not
really
sure
how
to
answer
your
question
whether
we
knew
it
was
happening
during
the
time.
AC
These
are
multiple
different
trades
that
are
being
bid
all
at
the
same
time,
so
there's
many
different
variables
that
are
occurring.
So
what
I
do
know
is
the
contractor
reached
out
to
250
different
other
trades
to
try
to
get
people
to
come
in
and
bid
so
there
was
they
do
weekly
Outreach,
so
they
do
a
good,
thorough
job
to
try
to
get
folks
to
come
in
and
fit
on
the
project.
Okay,.
H
AC
Working
with
the
contractor
being
with
Tilden
coil,
we're
able
to
segregate
the
existing
electrical
infrastructure
to
be
able
to
use
and
power
up
one
of
the
buildings.
Typically
you'd
try
to
upgrade
your
entire
electrical
infrastructure
to
run
your
entire
site,
but
because
we
we've
known
that
we
want
to
operate.
Maybe
a
portion
of
it.
They're
working
they've
actually
had
to
reconfigure
re-bid
work
with
their
electrical
contractors
to
keep
the
electrical
infrastructure
online,
while
they're
still
constructing,
and
while
the
permanent
infrastructure
comes
in.
AB
So
these
are
details.
We're
still
working
out
with
Martha's.
One
model
is
that
the
individuals
coming
to
the
access
center
will
be
coming.
I'm
sorry,
coming
to
the
early
entry
facility
will
be
coming
from
the
access
center.
The
access
center
currently
has
showers
where
those
individuals
could
shower
before
they
come
over,
spend
the
night
and
then
under
this
model
they
would
leave
in
the
morning
they
would
be
transported
by
shuttle
back
to
the
access
center,
so
there
they
would
literally
be
staying
over
the
night
at
the
at
the
early
entry
facility.
AB
H
AB
H
AB
H
AB
AB
Well,
keeping
in
mind
you
know,
the
construction
costs
are,
are
Bid,
And
contracted
close
to
being
contracted,
so
those
costs
are
are
pretty
closed
operationally.
We
do
have
8.3
million
to
work
with
to
help
cover
those
costs
for
the
initial
year,
two
years,
whatever
that
may
be,
there's
likely
a
ramp
up
period
when
there's
not
as
many
individuals
on
site
and
we
don't
know
what
that
might
be.
Maybe
maybe
that's
wrong,
maybe
open
the
doors
and
there's
a
huge
demand.
AB
So
you
know
again
we're
working
through
those
scenarios
and
and
the
opening
months
to
see
what
those
costs
might
be.
But
you
know,
as
as
Greg
has
mentioned,
there's
been
an
enormous
amount
of
funding
made
available
through
grants,
and
the
state
of
California
has
announced
another
round
and
I
should
add,
there's
a
lot
of
grants
that
the
city
is
not
eligible
to
apply
for
they're
only
available
to
cocs,
which
is
the
county
entities
that
apply.
AD
I
can
add
into
there
is
huge
potential
through
Cal
aim:
the
new
Medi-Cal
for
billing
for
services
on
this
we're
working
very
closely
right
now,
with
ihp
and
Molina
we're.
Actually,
the
county
is
working
with
a
consultant
that
worked
with
Alameda
County
to
actually
help
Bill
the
health
plans
for
such
types
of
services.
Many
of
our
providers
don't
have
the
capacity
or
their
technical
expertise
to
do
that
kind
of
medical
billing
we're
more
advantageous
in
Alameda
County,
because
we
have
our
own
health
system,
and
so
we
already
do
that.
H
AD
You
I
get
the
concern
about
operational
costs
and
having
to
come
back
for
another
allocation.
I
think
what
we've
really
tried
to
do,
as
a
team
is
really
to
joelle's
point-
is
that
these
are
these
are
actual
bids.
These
are
not
estimates
and
I
do
believe
that,
with
even
redesigning
the
services
that
I
don't
anticipate,
it
would
be
double
what
the
upper
Regional
cost
is
and
I
would
be
comfortable.
I
can
never
guarantee
anything,
but
I
wouldn't
anticipate
we'll
be
back
for
another
allocation
next
year.
Okay,.
H
And
I
just
want
to
point
out
a
couple
things
I
think
the
design
of
the
modular
units
I
mean
I
I
haven't
seen
it.
It
looks
much
better
than
what
I
thought
it
was
going
to
look
like
and
I
think
kudos
to
to
whoever
to
the
designer
and
I
think
it
really.
That
does
look
really
nice
and
I
also
agree
with
council
member
Middleton.
This
is
a
big
project
and
I
know.
I
know
all
three
of
you
have
a
lot
of
other
projects
going
on
and
and
I
would
I
would
sort
of.
H
J
You
know
I
just
want
to
add
sort
of
where
we've
been
and
so
and
I
appreciate
the
community
coming
in,
and
thank
you
for
your
public
comment
and
really
appreciate
you
and
I
and
I
just
want
to
explain
sort
of
because
I
I
appreciate
the
concerns
that
this
has
changed
or
that
you
know
we
weren't
initially,
including
a
50
bed.
Although
I
think
that
was
initially
always
thought
that
we
would
have
some
sort
of
component
like
that.
But
I
just
want
to
explain
so
you
know.
In
2017
we
had
2016
Roy's
had
clothes.
J
We
had
no
emergency
shelter
in
the
code
in
the
western
Coachella
Valley,
the
nearest
one
being
Indio.
A
lot
of
our
residents
were
asking
for
us
to
do
something
and
build
a
navigation
Center.
We
started
really
in
2017
regionally
we
hired
Barbara
poppy
to
do
an
analysis
of
our
entire
region
in
the
homelessness
system,
and
so
what
were
the
gaps?
J
You
know
so
many
times
in
my
six
years
here.
People
have
just
asked
me
to
build
an
emergency
shelter
and
we
said
no
we're
doing
the
research
to
analyze.
What
actually
are
the
gaps
in
what
is
needed
in
our
whole
homelessness
system,
and
so
Greg
and
I
have
been
working
on
a
navigation
Center
for
years
and
years
we
work
to
get
buy-in
from
the
Coachella
Valley
Association
of
governments,
all
of
our
cities
and
tribal
Partners
and
Greg.
J
And
so
it's
really
amazing.
You
know
we
didn't
have
Martha's
operating
in
the
in
Palm
Springs.
We
had
very
few
professional
operators
of
homelessness
Services.
We
worked
really
hard
to
give
Martha's
a
grant,
so
they
could
open
an
office
in
in
Palm
Springs.
They
could
see
the
need
and
then
to
build
a
navigation
Center.
So
you
know
it
is
shocking,
sometimes
how
long
it
takes
to
get
work
done
in
government.
J
We're
not
meant
to
move
fast
for
a
reason,
but
we
have
really
come
together
on
this
and
it's
been
really
incredible
to
see
our
staff
and
County
and
all
the
marthas
and
all
the
providers,
so
I
I
just
want
to
say
that,
because
imagine
I
mean
just
five
years
ago.
Four
years
ago
we
had
almost
nothing.
We
had
no
overnight
shelter
for
the
Summers.
We
had
no
overnight
shelter
for
the
winters.
We've
propped
that
up
together
with
Martha's
taking
that
on,
and
so
it's
really
amazing.
J
Matthew
doesn't
we're
not
just
investing
in
units
we're
doing
two
big
buildings
and
modular
units
right,
and
so,
if
you
look
at
those
numbers,
it
actually
seems
pretty
reasonable
for
what
costs
are
we're
doing?
Building
eight
for
so
I'm.
Looking
at
your
totals
3.5
million,
that's
a
big
building
with
a
number
of
services
we're
doing,
building
24.
I
do
think
we
should
rename
them
because
the
numbers
make
no
sense.
I
appreciate
that
it's
hours,
but
it
just
makes
no
sense
in
my
brain,
we're
doing
that.
One.
J
So
this
really,
we
have
to
think
about
it
and
explain
it
to
the
public
that
we're
not
getting.
You
know
85
units
for
40
million
dollars
we're
building
an
entire
navigation
Center,
which
is
the
dream
that
we've
been
working
on
for
six
plus
years,
is
a
One-Stop
shop.
Where
people
can
go
escape
homelessness,
they
can
get
a
roof
over
their
heads.
They
can
get
medical
care,
they
can
get
Employment
Services,
they
can
get
legal
aid,
whatever
providers
come
into
that
site
and
they
can
work
with
a
provider
like
Martha's.
J
That's
incredibly
successful,
Nationwide
I
mean
known
nationally
for
your
excellent
work.
Your
success
rates
of
getting
people
into
permanent
housing
are
really
incredible.
We
never
had
that
at
Roy's
we
weren't
getting
people
into
housing,
so
just
for
the
public,
it
looks
like
success,
but
it
might
not
be
actually
success
and
that's
what
we're
tracking
and
so
yeah
I'm
proud
to
support
this
I
appreciate
that
it
is
over
a
budget.
Any
developer,
working
on
a
project
right
now
is
significantly
over
budget.
I.
Think
you've
done
a
good
job
value.
J
Engineering
really
appreciate
it,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
when
we're
talking
about
it.
This
is
multiple
buildings,
modular
units
playground,
you
know
dog
run
I
mean
these
are
incredible.
Investments
in
this
site
so
just
want
to
be
clear
about
that.
I
think
the
concerns
from
the
community
are
really
valid
and
heard,
and
that's
why
we
had
created
a
community
council
to
get
those
concerns
and
work
with
the
community.
That's
in
part
way.
J
The
project
is
so
expensive
because
we
had
had
a
wish
list
from
the
community
that
then
we
included,
and
so
we
want
to
you
know,
so
we
will
continue
to
work
with
the
community
and
heard
the
the
concerns.
I
want
to
say
just
one
more
thing:
I've
learned
in
going
through
this
project
is:
we
had
just
been
working
on
the
navigation,
Center
and
the
temporary
temporary
housing.
J
J
We
really
need
a
place
for
people
to
go
and
I
did
work
with
staff,
and
here
it
doesn't
make
sense
to
invest
seven
million
dollars
in
a
separate
site
when
we
already
want
a
One-Stop
shop,
and
so
that's
where
we
are
I,
think
I
appreciate
the
neighborhood's
concerns
and
we
made
really
true
Promises
to
the
community
that
this
won't
impact.
You
we're
going
to
work
on
security.
J
J
I
did
share
the
concerns
about
the
value
engineering.
I.
Just
don't
want
to
cut
off
our
nose
to
save
our
face
or
whatever
the
saying
is.
You
know,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
putting
recruitive
care.
If
that's,
what
we're
going
to
be
able
to
build
to
cover
for
the
costs
of
some
of
the
operating
expenses.
J
You
know
I
want
to
make
sure
we're
not
taking
out
things
that
are
really
important
to
make
the
project
workable.
But
it
looks
to
me
like
you've
done
a
really
good
job
of
picking
and
choosing
and
I
just
want
to
say
one
more
thing,
because
the
other
question
I
get
is
operating.
Expenses
and
I
know
that's
a
really
good
talking
point
for
the
public
to
say:
oh
you're,
building
a
project
without
the
operating
expenses
we
actually
have
eight
million
dollars
here
for
operating
expenses.
That's
significa,
that's
significant
I!
J
Don't
think
Martha's
has
that
in
in
the
bank,
for
your
other
facilities
that
you
do
and
and
there's
a
lot
of
State
funding.
So
I
am
also
not
very
concerned
about
the
operating
expenses,
because
we
have
eight
million
dollars
already
earmarked
and
there's
so
much
more
State
funding
and
there
will
be
more
so
so
I
feel
I
know
it's.
J
It's
never
good
to
how
it
never
feels
good
to
have
a
project
over
and
I
share
the
concerns
about
the
bidding
like
please
let
us
know
if
we,
you
know,
need
to
re-bid
or
need
to
have
more
bids
or
something
like
that.
But
it
sounds
like
there's
a
lot
of
due
diligence
and
I
agree
with
thank
you
to
staff
who's
working
incredibly
hard
on
this.
J
We
don't
have
dedicated
homelessness
staff.
Doing
this.
It's
all
of
our
city
staff
and
it's
beyond.
You
know
your
normal
job,
so
I
agree
like
I
care
about
staff
capacity
and
making
sure
that
you're
that
we're
doing
that
work
and
and
supporting
you
so
that
everyone
can
do
their
other
things
that
we
have
to
do
for
this
city.
So,
thank
you.
You
know.
A
V
Well,
if
we,
if
we
don't,
approve
this
funding,
you
heard
what
Mr
Rodriguez
said
about
the
risk
to
Future
funds.
Obviously
our
real
goal
is
to
try
and
keep
the
project
on
track.
Get
it
finished,
so
we
can
get
help
to
people
who
need
to
get
off
the
streets
and
get
some
help
and
I
think
it's
really
important
to
emphasize
this
Continuum
of
Care
concept.
So
we
talk
about
having
some
beds
for
50
people
in
building
eight.
Those
are
likely
to
be
the
folks
that
go
into
the
modular
units
and
then
is
there.
V
You
know
that's
just
50.
We've
got
space
for
85
people
in
the
modular
units,
so
there's
still
more
people
and
then
does
that
allow
some
other
people
to
get
off
those
streets
and
sleep
in
those
beds.
We
don't
expect
the
people
in
the
85
modular
units
to
live
there
for
the
rest
of
their
life.
Hopefully
we
move
them
into
permanent
Supportive
Housing,
affordable
housing.
A
A
I
certainly
didn't
expect
either
of
the
people
that
I
spoke
to
to
say
what
they
said
so
you're
walking
by
them
you're
buying
gas
from
them,
you're
they're
people
who
are
working
in
our
community,
who
are
doing
their
very
best
to
survive,
and
that's
why
we
need
these
services
so
badly
and
it
is
frustrating,
but
we
are
doing
everything
we
can
to
make
this
project
successful
to
mitigate
any
impact
to
the
neighborhoods
and
I
will
remind
the
public.
I
live
very,
very
close
to
that
project.
As
well
so
I
will
be
there.
A
H
Floor,
I,
just
and
I
do
want
to
say,
I
I
appreciate
all
the
work
I
mean
this
there.
The
amount
of
money
does
make
me
very
nervous
and
I
think
we
really
have
to
the
fact
is:
we
have
no
choice
but
to
go
forward,
and
we
need
to
have
this
partly
because
we're
so
invested,
but
partly
because
because
people
really
need
a
place
to
be
able
to
live
and
and
be
safer
and
ideally
get
them
off
the
streets
which
I
think
is,
is
the
the
goal
here.
H
What
I
would
just
re-emphasize
is
that
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we
are
on.
We
keep
our
costs
going,
that
we
keep
moving
forward,
because
we
can't
have
more
delays
and
more
cost
increases
that
are
unexpected,
because
I
think
we
could
run
into
some
real
problems
and
we
just
in
whatever
that
takes
city
manager,
whatever
you
know,
to
make
sure
that
we
have
they
have.
Our
staff
has
the
support
they
need.
Greg
has
to
make
sure
that
we
are
on
top
of
this
that
we're
looking
ahead.
H
We
need
to
talk
to
Martha's
to
find
out
really
what
the
operational
costs
are
going
to
be
sooner
rather
than
later.
So.
I
don't
want
to
delay
this,
but
I
do
have
all
those
concerns
and
and
again
I.
Thank
you
for
all
the
work
and
I'm
glad
the
design
looks
good
for
the
for
the
modular
units.
So
thank
you.
A

AF
The
municipal
code,
Palm
Springs,
Municipal
municipal
code,
chapter
3.24
guides
the
city's
collection
of
the
tot
within
the
boundaries
of
the
city.
There's
two
rates
for
Tot,
one
is
13
and
a
half
percent
for
a
group
meeting
hotels,
the
other
is
11
and
a
half
percent
for
non-group
meeting
hotels,
the
11
and
a
half
percent
also
is
for
vacation
rental
properties
and
vacation
rental
agencies.
AF
Always
a
high
point
I
like
to
talk
about
is
the
tot
Revenue
reached
the
historic
high
in
fiscal
year,
22
at
54.3
million,
who
are
on
track
this
year
fiscal
year
23
to
reach
just
under
50
million,
so
seems
like
we're
going
to
have
another
strong
year
for
the
tot
tax,
the
for
the
50
million
that
we
are
looking
at
for
fiscal
year.
23
is
comprised
of
three
types
of
Revenue:
16.2
million
that
we're
estimating
for
a
vacation,
rental,
property
properties.
AF
Now
I
want
to
talk.
Oh
I
forgot
about
this,
the
trans.
This
is
a
slide
that
shows
the
trend
in
TOT.
Since
2010,
you
can
see
that
we've
had
good,
steady
growth,
it's
pretty
clear
when
we
had
the
covid-19
pandemic,
then
how
we
bounced
back
from
that
in
the
last
couple
of
years
and
that
we're
projecting
tot
through
25
to
be
pretty
steady
and
then
talk
a
little
bit
about.
AF
AF
The
community
promotions
fund
has
specific
uses
that
stated
in
the
municipal
code
kind
of
broad,
but
it
is
stated
for
specific
uses
for
advertising,
publicity
promotion,
capital
projects,
debt
retirement
operating
expenses,
normally
payable
out
of
the
library
fund
and
the
parks
and
rec
fund
of
the
city.
So
knowing
that
the
seven
percent
of
the
11
and
a
half
percent
vacation
rental
tot
cannot
be
set
aside
for
affordable
housing,
City
staff
is
recommending
that
we
take
a
percentage
of
the
four
and
a
half
percent
that
goes
to
the
general
fund.
AF
We're
recommending
25
percent
of
the
four
and
a
half
percent
be
used
to
set
aside
for
affordable
housing
programs.
So
how
is
that
calculated?
So
the
example
is
we're
expecting
about
16.2
million
dollars
in
vacation
rental
tot
for
this
fiscal
year,
four
and
a
half
percent
of
the
eleven
and
a
half
percent.
So
it's
four
point:
five
divided
by
11.5
is
39.1
percent,
16.2
million
in
estimated
vacation
rental
Revenue
times
the
39.1,
which
gives
us
about
6.3
million.
That
goes
to
the
general
fund
you
take.
25
percent
of
that
means
about.
AF
AF
A
A
H
H
It
should
go
back
to
July,
2022
I
think
we
should
start
looking
at
how
it's
spent
so
that
I
don't
want
to
make
this
a
slush
fund,
but
I
know
lift
to
rise,
has
a
great
Catalyst
program
and
that
funds
can
sort
of
be
used
to
keep
going
and
helping
a
lot
of
programs
going
forward,
which
is
a
great
consideration
and
that
it
should
not
just
be
seen
that
existing
projects
can
go
out
and
ask
for
more
money.
It
should
really
be
as
a
way
to
create
new,
affordable
housing.
I.
H
J
So
appreciate
that
this
work,
thank
you
to
Mayor,
Pro
tem,
for
leading
it
and
making
this
your
first
request
on
Council
really
appreciate
that
I
had
also
been
sort
of
talking
to
stakeholders
and
asking
for
this,
though,
didn't
do
formally.
So
you
beat
me
to
the
punch
and
so
appreciate
your
leadership.
J
I
just
wanted
to
ask.
We
had
discussed
this
about
if
it
should
be
a
percentage
or
if
it
should
just
be
a
straight
amount
in
terms
of
what's
easy
to
administer,
we
don't
want
to
waste
staff's
time
or
a
lot
of
resources
and
trying
to
predict
what
tot
will
be
every
year
and
then
trying
to
budget
from
that.
J
So
could
you
just
speak
to
if
you
think
it
should
be
a
percentage,
if
you
think
we
should
just
set
a
revenue,
a
direct
allocation
from
the
funds,
I
will
say
when
I
was
initially
conceptualizing.
This
I
thought
it
would
be
for
the
overall
tot,
not
just
vacation
rental.
Tot
tot
overall
has
affordable
housing
impacts
because,
even
though
it
might
not
be
taking
housing
offline
like
a
vacation,
rental
might
to
hotels,
require
people
to
work
in
them.
J
Who
are
often
you
know,
making
who
need
to
afford
housing
in
our
community
and
so
I
think
that
initially
I
had
thought
of
it
as
an
overall
tot,
initially
I
had
had
talks
with
some
stakeholders
about
actually
increasing
the
tot
amount.
If
there
was
room
comparable
to
other
cities
to
actually
direct
that
money
to
a
housing
fund,
so
increasing
tot
overall
would
require
the
voters
to
approve,
so
that
is
complicated,
but
I
just
wanted
to
flag.
J
You
know:
25
of
the
small
percent
of
vacation
rentals
is
very
minuscule
compared
to
if
we
thought
you
know
we
looked
at
tot
overall
and
I
appreciate.
We
have
a
very
large
budget
and
lots
of
things
to
fund,
but
so
could
you
just
so
I
would
definitely
support
a
3
million
annual
amount,
I
think
yeah.
So
could
you
just
speak
to
percentage
versus
total
amount?
What's
easiest
to
administer
and
what
you
think
is
the
best
policy
yeah.
AF
I
mean
I
mean
if
the
council
said
you
know
three
million
dollars,
that's
probably
the
easiest.
However,
this
is
not
a
difficult
calculation.
We
do
track
vacation
rental
Revenue,
although
manually
it
is
tracked
every
month.
So
we
have
a
an
idea
of
what
it
is
at
the
end
of
the
year.
This
would
be
a
an
annual
calculation.
We
would
do
it
one
time
a
year
at
the
end
of
the
year.
So
again
you
know
we
would
just
take
whatever
we
have
in
in
in
June.
AF
H
I
had
initially
asked
for
as
vacation
rental
and
and
in
part,
because,
although
you're
right
that
they
that
all
of
all
of
Hospitality
requires
workers
that
there's
more
direct
comments
from
the
residents
about
vacation
rentals,
taking
away
how's
it
and
even
if
it's
not
necessarily
affordable
housing,
there's
still
compression
in
the
market,
so
this
was
sort
of
a
way
to
address.
It.
H
I
also
think
that,
given
that
there
are
efforts
from
the
the
state
to
to
do
other
things
to
tax
vacation
rentals,
that
this
is
a
great
example
to
say
we're
doing
the
program
ourselves,
and
we
probably
will
then
ensure
that
the
money
actually
is
spent
locally
versus
at
State
decision
level.
So
that
was
my
reasoning
for
that.
Thank.
J
You
I
think
that
this
is
a
deported
to
do
some
of
that
analysis
and
that's
really
Economic
Development
work
that
we
need
to
do
about
our
tot
in
comparison
to
other
cities
and
what
our
Market
can
bear
and
what
you
know.
Some
of
our
stakeholders
think
we
can
bear,
because
I
would
love
to
see
a
a
real
direct,
Revenue
stream
to
housing,
since
the
state
has
taken
away
Redevelopment
and
we
really
have
no
Revenue
source
to
fund
housing
year
over
year.
J
It's
just
been
us
allocating
it,
and
this
is
this
is
a
resolution,
but
it
can
be
changed
by
any
City
Council
in
the
future.
So
really,
this
is
sort
of
an
accounting
measure.
It's
not
a
permanent
policy.
You
heard
I'm
working
for
my
walk
of
star
in
40
years,
I,
like
permanent
policies
that
we
know
will
continue
on
in
the
future
when
we're
long
gone.
So
I
think
this
is
an
excellent
star.
I
really
appreciate
it.
J
I'd
love
to
see
us
do
that
economic
work
about
our
tot
overall,
if
we
do
want
to,
you
know,
start
to
even
talk
about
if
there's
room
to
increase
it.
If
we
would
want
to
make
this
more
permanent
than
a
resolution-
and
I
would
support
it
being
50
percent
as
well
and
then
we've
done
a
very
deep
dive
into
the
Community
promotions
fund,
which
is
the
first
time
I
ever
heard.
That
term,
which
is
bad
because
we've
been
doing
this
for
a
while
and
I'm,
really
supportive
of
us
following
the
ordinance
or
changing
it.
J
J
I've
raised
that
with
measure
to
D
to
police
and
fire,
making
sure
that
you
know
we're
showing
the
community
how
much
we've
taxed
and
then
how
much
it
go,
what
it
goes
to
so
yeah
prepared
to
support
this.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
leadership.
Thanks
to
staff
for
figuring
out
how
to
do
it.
Councilmember.
F
F
But
I
would
be
very
reluctant
to
increase
that
percentage
over
the
recommendation
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
see
some
confirmation
as
to
how
the
money
is
being
used
that
we
collect
and
that
we
gain
some
experience
with
this
program
before
moving
forward
beyond
the
recommendation
that
we
receive
from
staff
as
to
whether
or
not
it
be
a
set
amount
or
a
percentage.
I'll
follow
up
on
what
the
mayor,
Pro
tem
said
in
the
discussions
that
we've
had
with
the
league
of
California
cities
on
SB
584.
F
There
was
very
specific
reference
on
multiple
occasions
to
Palm
Springs,
considering
a
specific
percentage
of
tot
to
be
devoted
from
vacation
rentals
to
affordable
housing
as
a
much
stronger
alternative
from
public
policy,
because
the
money
collected
would
remain
in
the
city
in
which
it
was
actually
being
earned.
So
I
I
would
like
us
to
move
forward
with
the
recommendations
from
staff
and
then
come
back
at
a
later
date.
After
we've
learned
how
well
we've
done
this.
E
E
So
I
like
that,
but
I'd
like
to
as
councilmember
Middleton
said,
I'd
like
to
see
a
a
year,
let's
get
a
year
under
our
belt
and
start
to
see
programs
where
we
can
allocate
some
of
this
money
and
then
look
down
the
road
at
increasing
it
to
a
higher
percentage,
and
maybe
it's
more
than
50..
But
let's
just
see
how
the
program,
how
it
can
start
off
so
I'm
I,
I
support
staff
recommendation.
A
AF
It
is,
you
know,
I
mean
in
in
fiscal
you're
25.
You
know
we're
going
to
operate
as
a
surplus
and-
and
you
know,
fiscal
you're
24
may
be
a
little
pressured,
but
still
we've
got
fund
balance
to
use
fiscal
year.
23
we've
got
Surplus
estimated,
so
so
in
most
cases
in
most
years
we
would
have
surpluses
that
we
would
just
take
from
the
Surplus
and
set
it
aside.
AF
A
A
AF
A
Okay,
thank
you
so
much
I'll
I'll
go
ahead
then,
and
make
a
motion
that
that
we
do
50,
but
I
do
want
to
include
that
we
are
taking
those
measurable
actions
that
council
member
to
Hart
and
councilmember
Middleton,
raised
and
really
being
able
to
figure
out
exactly
how
this
money
is
being
used
and
what
the
impact
is.
Overall.
I
think
that
is
really
important
that
we're
analyzing
this
each
year
and
and
not
waiting
until
many
years
passed
before.
K
A
J
AF
So
it's
going
to
be
remember
how
the
Calpers
set
aside
that
we
do
every
year
and
we
dif
we
called
it
a
signed
fund
balance
we
separated
out
from
the
unassigned
fund
balance.
This
will
be
treated
the
exact
same
way.
It's
actually
officially
called
a
committed
fund
balance.
Since
we
have
a
resolution
in
place
and
it's
a
we
take
an
official
Council
action,
but
that's
the
way
it'll
appear
on
the
fund
balance
schedule
as
a
separate
item
similar
to
the
calperseticide,
because.
J
We've
allocated
I
mean
just
25
and
50
sounds
like
a
big
difference,
but
you
know
we
allocated
10
million
dollars
last
year
for
housing,
and
so
then
we
set
that
aside
for
housing
purposes,
you
know
we
had
originally
actually
had
a
Housing
Authority
right
to
do
this
work.
So
I'm
just
trying
to
think
through
it'd
be
great
to
have
a
separate
fund
because
I
think
if
we
do
pass
an
inclusionary
zoning
or
allow
in
lieu
fees,
then
we
would
want
to
place
for
that
all
to
go
and
I
think
that's.
J
AF
B
AF
J
And
I
think
the
the
analysis
and
well
taken,
but
just
to
be
to
be
clear,
like
we
frequently
give
one
to
three
million
or
more
per
affordable
housing
project
that
comes
forward.
So
it's
not
like
general
fund,
where
we
don't
know
where
this
money
is
going
to
be
going.
It's
going
to
be
really
clear,
I
think
for
the
community
and
for
the
council
we're
giving
this
to
affordable
housing
projects,
we're
doing
this
to
develop
housing.
You
know
and
if
we
need
to
set
some
guidelines
around
that,
please
let
us
know.
A
AF
AF
This
is
a
fun
establish,
a
policy
that,
if
Council
approves
it
will
establish
a
minimum
Reserve
for
the
general
fund
fund
balance
and
just
a
little
fun
about
a
couple
of
points
of
positive
fund
balances,
really
and
accumulation
of
general
fund
surpluses
and
establishing
a
minimum
Reserve
policy
for
the
general
fund
is
a
best
practice.
It's
under
the
adopted
Financial
policy
cited
by
the
government
finance
office,
Association
of
America
no
government,
Finance
offices,
Association,
it's
a
gfoa
for
short,
adopting
a
sound
financial
policy.
AF
So
a
strong
rating
does
lower
our
borrowing
costs
staff.
We
work
closely
with
our
financial
advisor
Suzanne
Harrell,
who
you
all
have
met
in
the
last
couple
meetings:
she's,
given
a
good
debt
presentation,
she
I
had
originally
recommended
17
and
a
half
percent
talking
to
Suzanne.
She
really
strongly
felt
that
we
should
up
that
to
20,
given
the
volatility
of
our
tot
Revenue
in
a
down
year.
AF
AF
The
policy,
in
addition
to
establishing
a
minimum
Reserve
the
policy
does
a
couple
of
things.
It
a
guides
Council
on
what
to
do
to
get
back
to
the
20.
So
if
we
fell
below
that,
we
have
five
years
to
replenish.
We
could
do
a
few
things
to
do
that.
Use
the
future
general
fund
surpluses,
we
could
make
transfers
from
our
internal
service
funds
removal
of
an
removal
of
an
assigned
fund
balance.
So
that's
a
similar
like
the
Calpers
set
aside.
AF
If
we
fell
below
the
20,
Council
would
have
the
option
to
take
from
that
bucket
of
funds
to
get
us
back
up
to
20
percent
and
in
addition,
the
city
council
could
remove
a
committed
fund
balance.
Just
like
we
talked
about
with
the
tot
set
aside
to
affordable
housing.
That's
an
example
of
a
committed
fund
balance.
We
could
use
that
to
get
back
up
to
our
20
percent.
AF
In
addition
to
that,
if
we
go
over
the
20
and
we
have
excess
minimum
fund
balance,
the
policy
guides
Council
to
do
a
few
that
they
can
do
a
few
things.
We
can
use
it
for
debt
reduction,
Capital
Improvements
or
we
can
use
it
for
set-asides,
like
we
did
in
fiscal
year.
23
set
aside
for
some
Council
priorities.
AF
AF
They
recommend
that
a
reserve,
a
general
fund
Reserve,
should
be
equal
to
or
greater
than
a
two
months
of
operating
expenses
and
for
two
months
of
operating
expenses,
for
the
city
is
around
28
to
30
million
dollars.
So
by
setting
it
at
20
percent,
we
do
have
the
two
months
of
operating
expenses,
as
recommended
by
the
that's
a
best
practice
recommended
by
gfoa
and
and
that's
what
we
have
done
to
to
set
the
policy
and
with
that
I
will
conclude.
That
presentation
and
ask
Council
has
any
questions.
Thank.
F
F
I'm
very
concerned
about
the
volatility
of
sales
tax
and
tot
and
the
need
to
make
sure
that
we
have
adequate
reserves
for
the
kind
of
downturns
that
we
can
experience
which
we
have
experienced
when
2020
hit
and
covid
came.
We
went
to
a
full
stop
when
it
came
to
both
tot
and
sales
tax.
We
had
a
remarkable
recovery.
F
I,
don't
remember
anyone
predicting
that
folks
would
stay
home,
pick
up
their
phones
and
start
ordering
from
Amazon
like
there
was
no
tomorrow,
but
that
is
what
happened
and
in
many
respects
that
saved
us
during
that
year.
But
what
what
other
kinds
of
cities
have
you
encountered
where
there
is
the
degree
of
volatility
that
we
have
here.
AF
Councilmember
I
don't
know
that
I
can
truly
answer
that
I.
You
know
with
that
with
facts.
You
know,
I,
think
any
city
that
has
a
tourism
industry
like
we
do
and
it's
reliant
on
it.
I
mean
rtot
tax
is
25
of
our
overall
general
fund
Revenue.
It's
the
single
largest
Line
and
other
cities
who
fall
into
that
category
are
going
to
have
a
situation
like
ours,
where
they're
going
to
be
susceptible
to
a
hard
recession,
and
then
they
like,
we
would
want
to
make
sure
that
we've
got
plenty
of
Reserves.
F
The
other
side
to
The
Ledger
is
well.
We
do
have
some
really
hard
ears.
We
also
have
some
extremely
positive
years
where
our
Market
is
just
a
tremendously
popular,
and
it
strikes
me
that
those
are
exactly
the
kinds
of
times
in
which
you
should
be
salting
away,
more
money
and
I'm
very
concerned
that
a
20
limit
would
not
give
us
the
flexibility
that
we
need
during
those
years
when
income
is
coming
in
at
levels
that
exceed
what
we
we
dreamed
of
so
for
a
comment.
AF
AF
B
AF
A
good
point
to
note
that
is,
you
know,
you
know
as
we
do
it.
The
20
I've
recommended
is
based
off
of
operating
expenditures,
and
we
we
do
that
because
it
is
a
less
volatile
line
than
than
revenue,
and
so
it's
a
more
steady
type
of
fund
balance.
However,
we
could
do
that.
There
are
some
cities
who
do
do
that
the
gfoa
does
recommend
to
not
have
it
have
a
such
a
volatile
have
the
percentage
based
on
such
a
volatile
line,
but
it's
something
that
we
certainly
can
do.
H
AF
Not
really,
but
I
can
tell
you
generally
that
that
as
a
bet,
so
it
varies,
but
generally
as
a
practice,
most
cities
will
use
the
guidelines
of
of
the
15
to
20
percent
range
of
the
two
months
of
expenses.
Some
cities
will
I,
did
look
at
one
recently
in
the
valley,
I
can't
remember
which
one
it
was,
but
they
were
at
25
percent.
AF
H
And
just
for
clarification,
so
if
we
set
our
fund
balance
at
20
and
and
we
have
next-
you
know
a
couple
years-
we
want
to
have
a
budget
where
we
dip
below
it.
That's
just
regular
three
city
council
members
vote
on
a
new
budget
that
dips
below
that
I
want
to
dip
into.
That.
Is
that
right?
It's
not!
There's!
No!
Is
that
permanently
that
that's
it's!
We
could
dip
into
it.
If
we
just.
AF
AF
H
Thank
you
so,
and
I
I
just
want
to
raise
a
point
that
we
brought
up
earlier.
But
this
is
you
know
the
volatility
with
sales
tax
and
and
tot
which
council
member
Middleton
raised,
and
then
council,
member,
halstedge
and
I
have
discussed
having
other
Industries
and
Tech
Industries.
It's
another
reason
why
we
need
to
diversify
our
our
income
and
and
I
agree
with
councilmember
Middleton
that
we
no
one
quite
expected
that
we
would
do
so
well
with
covet
I
mean
there
was.
H
We
were
in
a
panic
situation
and
we
thought
in
fact
that
could
be
it.
And
besides
people
ordering
on
Amazon,
which
you
know
it
could
have
bought
local,
but
they
did
buy
local,
they
did
buy
a
lot
local,
but
they
also
came
and
stayed
here,
and
you
know,
and-
and
it
didn't
take
long
for
our
vacation,
rentals
and
and
hotels
to
start
doing
a
lot
better
and
and
quite
honestly,
the
community
really
supported
our
local
businesses.
But
what
I
would
suggest
is
that
maybe
we
have
a
five
percent
catastrophic
Reserve.
H
AF
Correct,
yes,
the
way
that
would
work
is
your
first
five
percent
would
be
your
catastrophic
category,
and
that
would
be
you
know
a
disaster
would
have.
Would
it
would
take
a
disaster
to
dip
into
that
like
a
major
earthquake
or
something
like
that?
That
would
require
us
to
dip
into
that
and
we
could
either
like
the
policy.
Doesn't
we
probably
have
to
direct
the
policy,
whether
that's
a
city
council
direction
or
whether
they
give
the
authority
to
the
city
manager
to
make
that
Declaration
of
a
disaster.
H
I
believe
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
during
covet,
it
was
the
city
manager
that
declared
the
emergency,
so
so,
basically
that
would
be
that
five
percent
is
there.
Unless
the
city
manager
declares
an
emergency
correct,
but
then
we
could
have
the
20
above
that
which
you
know.
If
we
went
down,
we
have
five
years
to
pay
back.
AF
H
So
I
I
think
this
sort
of
gets.
You
know
to
the
to
the
being
cautious
that
councilmember
Middleton
was
saying
that
we
are
in
a
good
system
right
now,
but
we
we
have
economic
uncertainty,
we
don't
know
quite
what's
going
to
happen.
We
still
have
excess
funds,
so
it's
not
like.
We
can't
do
a
special
projects
or
repaid
debt
if
we
have
to
and-
and
we
also
as
I
understand-
how
much
of
our
debt
is
going
to
disappear
over
the
next
10
years.
Yeah.
AF
H
So
we
we
then
potentially
have
others
whether
we
do
a
bond
measure
or
other
sources
of
of
funds.
Although
we
still
have
this
excess
fund
balance,
we
could
do
for
special
projects.
That's
correct,
okay,
so
that
would
be.
My
recommendation
would
be
to
have
five
percent
of
catastrophic
Reserve
plus
the
20
fund
balance
Reserve
and
go
from
there.
J
Although
we
had
to
lay
off
a
lot
of
Staff
in
that
time
and
it
took
us
a
lot
of
long
time
to
build
up
and
then
and
then
covid,
and
so
you
know
it's
a
conversation,
I
think
about
flexibility
and
and
protection
and
risk.
You
know
management,
so
I'm,
I'm
glad
that
we
are
passing
a
policy
I
very
much
want
to
follow
best
practices.
J
J
I.
Think
it's
a
balance
of
also
deploying
money
into
the
community
and
also
investing
money
into
our
economy.
That
then
pays
dividends
upon
investment
and
so
I
don't
want
to
be
Indian,
Wells
and
sitting
on
a
lot
of
money
that
isn't
being
deployed
to
our
community,
because
our
community
is
so
different
than
Indian
Wells
we're
an
aging
Community.
We
have
so
many
needs.
We
have
so
much
aging
infrastructure.
We
have
true
Economic
Development
to
do.
We
have
to
invest
in
in
our
people
and
Parks
and
Rec
and
all
our
needs.
J
So
I,
don't
like
a
strict
policy,
that's
over
20
percent
that
would
constrain
US.
During
those
times
we've
been
lucky
to
have
good
Economic
Times,
but
you
know
we
might
have
bad
Economic
Times,
where
this
will
limit
I
mean.
So
this
will
limit
I
think
what
we're
able
to
do
in
some
ways
right,
because
we'll
have
to
keep
those
reserves
unless
Council
takes
an
action
to
waive
it.
But
then
we
have
to
work
back
to
replenish
it
back,
correct.
AF
J
AF
AF
It's
I'll
give
General
us
and
we
can
talk
about
it
when
I
get
to
the
budget
in
more
specifics,
but
the
five
percent
would
be
around
another
eight
million
dollars
of
additional
Reserve,
so
you're
going
from
about
31
to
32
to
somewhere
around
40
million
dollars
of
Reserve.
So
right
now
it
looks
like
I
mean
you
know:
we've
got
some
variables
with
the
passing
of
the
navigation,
Center
funding
and
and
the
Tot.
AF
H
H
B
AF
So
we
have
yeah
I
mean
before
some
of
this
stuff
was
was
passed
earlier
tonight.
You
know
we
had
around
a
95
million
dollar
total
unassigned
fund
balance,
and
so,
if
we
elect
to
do
20
20,
we
take
32.
If
we
like
to
do
25,
we
take
40,
that's
our
minimum
and
then
anything
between
the
40
and
the
95,
which
is
the
55
million
I'm
being
General,
would
be
excess
fund
balance
and
the
council
can
choose
to
do
those
few
things
that
we
recommended
in
our
policy.
V
And
if
I
could
just
chime
in
one
other
factor
that
we're
going
to
be
coming
back
to
you
with
at
the
end
of
the
year
is
obviously
we
all
know.
We
have
a
very
substantial,
substantial
unfunded
pension
liability.
All
cities
are
struggling
with
that
we're
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
get
underwater,
so
we
can
we're
not
paying
all
of
our
debt
service
and
we
don't
have
any
money
for
Parks
and
Recreation
and
safety.
V
So
one
of
the
things
we
intend
on
doing
is
bringing
to
you,
at
the
end
of
the
year,
unfunded
pension
liability
for
for
working
that
that
piece
of
it
down
to
put
us
in
a
little
better
position
and
a
lot
of
that.
Those
funds
that
we're
talking
about
could
be.
You
may
want
to
have
that
available
for
your
discussion
later
on
in
the
year
as
well.
Okay,
correct.
AF
H
AF
AF
It's
it's
over.
100
million
I
want
to
say
it's
somewhere
in
the
vicinity
of
120..
The
ual
for
our
Calpers
pension
is
right.
Around
190.
I
think
that's
going
to
come
down
a
little
bit,
but
still
pretty
large
balances.
That
does
the
one
single
measure
that
keeps
our
s
p
rating,
probably
from
going
to
an
AA
plus
right
now
we're
at
double
A.
AF
K
A
A
Okay,
so
motion
passes
three
to
two
on
the
minimum
fund
balance.
At
this
time
we
are
moving
to
item
2A,
which
is
a
public
hearing.
This
is
a
public
hearing
for
a
resolution
confirming
the
report
of
the
Palm
Springs
small
hotel
tourism,
business
improvement,
district,
Advisory,
Board,
loving
the
fiscal
year,
2023-24
assessment
and
conductive
and
conduct
protest
proceedings.
Maybe
we
have
a
staff
report,
please
thank.
AF
AF
The
estimated
collections
for
23.24
or
fiscal
year
24
are
estimated
to
be
about
770
thousand,
that's
off
of
a
a
budget
that
was
prepared
by
the
Palm
Springs
Bureau
of
Tourism
and
the
collections
for
fiscal
year.
23
will
be
around
the
same.
It's
going
to
be
about
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars.
The
city
does
collected
administration
fee
of
3750
per
month,
that's
about
45
000
per
year,
and
that
allows
us
to
process
all
the
monthly
returns
and
various
required
reporting.
With
that
other
questions.
A
H
AF
I
believe
Council
formed
the
district
back
in
2016
and
when
they
formed
a
district
I
believe
they
set
the
parameters
for
the
t-bit
at
one
percent,
and
so
I
believe
that
we
are
required
to
come
back
to
council
and
annually
to
have
them
reapprove
it.
The
only
way
that,
if
Council,
the
only
way
that
we
wouldn't
bring
it
back
to
you
if
there
was
protests
from
a
majority
of
the
small
hotels
that
pay
into
the
program.
Okay,.
A
A
H
I,
just
you
know:
I,
like
this
model
I
like
the
model
that,
with
the
businesses
pay
into
this,
and
then
they
get
to
choose
what
happens
with
the
money
and
I
think
a
lot
of
cities
have
business
Improvement
districts
in
general
for
their
other
businesses
and
I.
Think
that
may
be
something
we
want
to
look
at
in
the
future
as
part
of
Economic
Development.
So
thank
you.
B
A
Motion
passes
five
to
zero.
Thank
you.
Council.
The
next
item
is
our
final
item:
item
2B,
a
public
hearing
and
Adoption
of
the
fiscal
year.
2023-24
and
fiscal
year,
24
25,
comprehensive
budgets,
Palm
Springs,
community
redevelopment
successor
agency
budget,
updated
status,
have
adopted
five-year,
Capital,
Improvement
program,
Appropriations
limit
and
allocated
positions
and
Compensation
Plan.
May
we
have
a
staff
report.
Please.
V
V
We
had
our
study
session
on
the
original
presentation
of
the
budget
on
May,
8th
and
then,
of
course,
we
had
our
joint
budget
meeting
with
the
measure
J
Commission
on
June
5th,
followed
by
another
presentation
of
the
budget
by
our
finance
director,
we're
not
going
to
go
through
that
whole
entire
presentation.
Again
the
documents
have
been
posted
on
our
website,
but
we
do
want
to.
V
AF
You
Scott
yeah.
This
will
be
a
little
bit
different
than
than
what
we've
kind
of
presented
in
the
past
and
that
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
run
through
everything.
Rather
than
bring
the
city
engineer
up
and
our
airport
team
up
to
run
through
theirs
I'm
going
to
hit
the
high
levels
of
the
numbers,
they
really
haven't
changed
a
whole
heck
of
a
lot
they're
right
in
the
same
sort
of
vicinity
that
they
were
in
and
so
with
that,
if
I
could
get
the
team
to
put
up
PowerPoint
presentation
number
two.
AF
AF
Okay,
it's
a
little
bit
smaller
than
I
liked,
but
we'll
go
ahead
and
run
through
it.
We're
going
to
focus
on
the
second
column,
which
is
fiscal
year,
23
24,
and
we're
going
to
hit
the
numbers
High
I'm,
going
to
speak
to
the
changes
since
the
last
iteration
of
the
budget
on
June
the
5th
and
then
we'll
continue
on
that
path,
all
the
way
through
the
capital
program
and
through
the
airport
budget.
So
we're
still
looking
at
197.5
million
dollars
in
Revenue
changes
in
Revenue.
AF
Since
the
last
iteration
is
really
just
a
timing
difference
we
had
a
funding
commitment
to
aloe
Palm
Canyon.
We
used
some
of
the
HHA
Grant
funds
of
2
million.
We
pulled
that
back
into
23
and
we
just
made
that
funding
commitment
happen
just
a
few
weeks
ago.
So
that's
the
change
in
revenue
on
the
expense
side,
we're
showing
210
million
dollars,
210.3
million
dollars
and
there's
changes
in
the
expense.
AF
Again,
we
used
three
million
dollars
of
our
affordable
housing
set
aside,
plus
the
two
million
dollars
in
HF
funds
for
the
five
million
dollar
funding
commitment
to
aloe
Palm
Canyon.
In
addition
to
that
change,
we
found
some
adjustments
found
some
duplicate
expenses
in
our
Plaza
theater
budget
over
24
and
25.
AF
There
was
some
significant
decreases
in
expense
there
it's
about
625
000
in
fiscal
year
24.,
and
then
we
did
a
Reconciliation
of
what
we
had
as
far
as
salary
and
benefits
in
our
budget
compared
to
hr's
final
allocated
positions,
reconciliation
and
we
found
about
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
savings
there
as
well.
For
fiscal
year,
24.
AF
That's
what
I
have
in
the
handout
which
I
will
go
over
later
for
fiscal
year,
25
191.8
million
dollars
in
Revenue
total
expense
in
fiscal
year,
25
183.5
million
dollars
in
expense,
and
they
were
looking
at
right
now
before
anything
that
was
passed
this
evening,
a
surplus
of
8.4
million
dollars
some
changes.
We
found
a
million
dollars
in
plastic,
theater
budget
that
we
had
duplicated.
AF
AF
We
have
operating
revenues
of
178
million
and
we
have
Grant
revenue
of
just
over
19
million
for
total
revenue,
and
this
hasn't
changed
from
a
prior
version
of
197.5
million
dollars,
we're
looking
at
operating
expenditures
of
162.6.
So
this
does
include
the
funding
of
5
million
for
the
navigation
Center
approved
by
council
tonight.
It
doesn't.
It
does
include
the
three
million
dollars
of
set
aside
that
was
that
was
approved
by
council
tonight.
So
I
didn't
I
guessed
correctly,
so
that
was
good.
AF
We
have
the
set
asides
of
16.8
million
dollars.
We've
got
Grand
expense
of
19.,
so
we're
looking
at
total
expenditures.
If
you
kind
of
walk
yourself
down
of
about
218.3
million
dollars,
we're
going
to
use
fund
balance
to
fund
some
of
that
negative
20.8
number.
So,
as
you
can
see,
when
we
go
down
to
the
fund
balance,
there's
the
20
percent
it
says
proposed
minimum
is
now
the
required
minimum
that
gives
us
about
32
and
a
half
million
dollars.
That
is
the
minimum
fund
balance
that
the
council
just
approved.
AF
We
have
remaining
unassigned
or
what
we
are
calling
in
our
fund
balance
policy,
the
excess
unassigned
and
that's
about
53
million
dollars
for
a
total
unassigned
fund,
balance
of
85
million.
There's
the
Calpers
set
aside.
We've
been
setting
aside
six
million
dollars
a
year
to
fund
that
that's
40
million
and
then
there's
the
tot
to
affordable
housing.
AF
AF
If
we
jump
over
to
fiscal
year,
25
We
Begin
the
year
with
85
million
dollars
in
fund
balance,
we
have
186
million
in
operating
Revenue,
5.7
million
in
Grant
Revenue,
4
million
of
that
is
is
is
for
operations
of
the
navigation
Center.
We
have
191.8
million
dollars
in
total
revenue,
go
down
to
operating
expenditures,
161
million
that
transfers
out
again,
transfers
out
or
transfers
to
other
funds,
so
it'll
be
transfers
to
our
debt
service
fund
transfers
to
our
internal
service
funds.
Stuff,
like
that,
to
what
we
call
transfers
out.
AF
If
operating
expenditures
of
180
million-
and
we
have
Grant
expense
of
five
seven,
so
we
have
total
expenses
if
I
believe
that's
186
million
or
a
surplus
of
5.3
so
again
to
require
or
the
the
required
minimum
fund
balance
is
now
32.4
million
dollars
and
with
the
addition
of
the
five
million
dollar
Surplus
we're
looking
at
an
excess
unassigned
fund,
balance
of
about
58
million
dollars
for
the
end
of
fiscal
year,
25.
the
Calpers
set
aside
goes
up
to
46.3
and
the
tot
set
aside
for
affordable
housing
goes
up
to
9
million.
AF
With
that
I
will
conclude
the
general
fund
presentation,
I'll
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
the
capital
fund
along
the
capital
fund,
most
not
most
all
of
the
changes
in
the
capital
funds
since
the
last
iteration
on
June.
The
5th
was
all
due
to
the
measure
J
and
community-initiative
projects,
mostly
that
Council
approved
under
joint
session
with
measure
J.
So
we
are
starting
out
with
the
beginning
fund
balance
and
24
79
million
revenue
of
72
million.
We
have
transfers
in
of
two
men.
That's
coming
from
the
general
fund.
AF
We
also
increased
the
Project's
support
for
the
parks
and
rec.
If
there's
any
overages
in
the
Parks
and
Rec
programs
for
in
measure
J,
we
added
250
000
to
that,
and
then
also
we
included
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
24
for
promotion
of
the
completed
projects
that
happen
in
measure
J
fiscal
year,
25
just
really
quick.
AF
We
also
included
three
million
dollars
of
ketchup
that
we
did
not
include
in
the
budget
in
a
prior
year
at
council's
direction.
We
apologize
for
that.
We
did
catch
up
in
fiscal
year.
25.
we
added
the
3
million
in
so
the
community
initiated
project
bucket
at
the
end
of
25
is
going
to
be
around
10
million
dollars.
So
a
nice
bucket
there
for
the
community
initiated
projects
again.
250
000
was
added
to
Parks
projects,
overruns
and
again,
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
communications
and
marketing
of
the
completed
projects
for
measure
J.
AF
That
concludes
the
capital
presentation
and
we'll
move
on
to
the
airport.
The
airport
had
very
minor
changes
a
little
bit
of
personnel
expense
so
for
the
funding
we'll
start
in
the
second
column,
for
the
revenue,
62.7
million
dollars
of
Revenue
expected
in
24
for
the
airport
expenses
at
48.8
million,
that's
going
to
generate
a
surplus
of
about
13.8
million
dollars
or
13.9
in
fiscal
year
24
and
in
fiscal
year,
25
Revenue
increases
to
69.3
million
expenses
at
60.6
million,
and
that's
going
to
generate
a
surplus
of
about
8.7
million
dollars.
AF
A
H
AF
H
H
H
H
O
AF
AF
I
believe
so
the
measure,
so
the
quinby
fund
is
really
part
of
the
five-year
CIP
plan.
It's
a
funding
source
for
that,
but
it
is
restricted
for
parks
and
rec.
So
the
two
projects
that
I
know
of
off
the
top
of
my
head
is:
we
have
about
725
000
over
the
next
two
years
that
are
going
to
go
toward
pickleball
courts,
and
then
we
have
I
want
to
say
it's
five,
two
hundred
and
something
thousand
that's
going
to
go
to
dog
park
at
demuth
Park.
AF
H
That
leaves
about
another
2.8
million
and
Quimby
funds
for
parks
that
okay
well
I'm
gonna
make
a
comment
on
that
later.
I
have
I'm
sorry
to
do
this
because
I
know
we
we're
only
doing
the
top
level,
but
I
have
a
couple
small,
my
more
questions
to
the
basic.
Do
we
have
any
money
left
in
our
facade,
Improvement
program.
H
AF
H
J
AF
J
J
AF
There's
that's
the
end
of
fiscal
year
23,
but
I
think
we've
got
some
significant
art
projects
that
are
budgeted
for
24
at
a
little
over
a
million
dollars.
We
got
a
million
dollars,
1.4
million
dollars,
budgeted
expense
and
a
lot
of
that
is
going
to
be
for
art
projects
in
24.
So
we
do
in
the
year
at
about
a
500
000
fund
balance
24.
AF
AF
J
AF
Was
actually
rules
around
these
other
funds,
they're
called
special
Revenue
funds
and
that's
established
by
a
Gatsby
pronounce
it
pronouncement,
and
so
I
believe
that
just
the
resolution
that
we
did
this
evening
wouldn't
qualify
it
as
a
special
Revenue
fund.
I
believe
it
has
to
be
more
restricted
than
that
through.
Possibly
an
ordinance
I'd
have
to
confirm
that
with
our
external
Auditors
to
be
sure,
but
I
I
do
I.
Don't
think
that
the
action
tonight
would
make
it
a
special
Revenue
fund.
Z
B
AB
Have
but
it
is
technically
the
leftover
Redevelopment
funds
from
the
previous
Redevelopment
agency,
but
I
believe
what
you're
seeing
are
notes
receivable
as
part
of
the
fund
balance.
So
when
we
issue
financial
assistance
to
projects,
we
do
it
as
a
loan.
So
if
we
give
a
three
million
dollar
loan,
that
3
million
is
still
showing
up
at
that
fund
balance,
so
I
think
it
would
be
important
to
check
the
cash
balance
on
those
for
what
we
can
actually
use
and
I
think
we
spent
that
all
yeah.
So,
okay.
AF
AF
AF
Yeah,
so
what
we
did
with
there
is
is
the
budget
on
measure.
J
was
pressured
in
24,
so
we
couldn't
pick
it
up
to
the
three
million
dollars
that
Council
wanted
to
do
in
24..
However,
in
25
we
did
make
that
annual
amount,
three
million,
and
then
we
caught
up
from
two
years
ago,
when
we,
when
I
think
two
years
last
year,
maybe
last
year
that
Council
wanted
to
do
three
million.
So
we
brought
that
into
25
as
well
to
catch
up
for
what
council
directed
us
to
do
last
year.
J
B
J
AF
J
J
AB
Sufficient
we
have
about
three
or
four
who've
applied,
but
the
funds
have
run
out.
So
we
provide
a
matching
fund
of
seventy
five
hundred
dollars
for
facade
improvements.
The
so
if
they
spend
twenty
dollars
will
match
twenty
dollars.
If
they
spend
70,
fifteen
thousand
dollars
will
match
that
with
just
seventy
five
hundred
dollars,
so
three
or
four
applications
looking
for
that
additional
match.
A
AG
AG
Thank
you
so
I'm
Adam
Lerner
I'm,
the
CEO
of
the
Palm
Springs
Art
Museum,
and
it's
really
a
pleasure
to
be
speaking
with
you
here
tonight.
I
am
grateful
to
you
for
considering
our
request
to
increase
our
support
for
our
free
Thursday
night
programs
and
I'm
grateful
to
you
for
providing
us
with
that.
AG
Fifty
thousand
dollars
a
year
that
we've
received
consistently
since
2008.,
so
the
free
Thursday
night
program
where
the
museum
is
entirely
free
from
5
to
8
pm
and
we
increased
it
since
I
got
here
from
five
to
seven
to
five
to
eight.
That
is
not
just
about
making
the
museum
more
accessible
to
people
who
can't
afford
it.
It
really
is
a
symbol
of
the
Museum's
inclusiveness
and
openness
and
willingness
to
be
inviting
to
all
of
our
community.
AG
We
have
increased
our
investment
in
these
freeze,
Thursday
nights.
When
I
first
got
here,
it
was
a
little
bit
of
a
sleepy
program.
We
had
about
700
people
a
night.
Now
we
get
on
average
about
1500
people
coming
to
a
night
to
this
program.
We
have
we
estimate
about
60
000
people
over
the
course
of
this
year
projected
three
times
this
year.
We
had
to
literally
close
the
doors
because
we
met
fire
code
and
therefore
we
didn't
want
to
do
any
damage
there.
AG
A
E
Thank
you,
mayor,
Chris,
excellent
work
on
catching
all
the
notes
from
our
last
meeting
and
including
them
in
this
version
of
the
budget.
So
thank
you
I
appreciate
that
the
one
thing
that
I
thought
I
had
talked
about,
but
we
didn't
put
a
real
ass
to
it-
is
on
the
community
enhancement
or
what
council
knows
as
the
discretionary
line
item
I
I.
E
J
E
J
Okay,
so
I
was
like:
oh,
he
has
three
million
dollars
on
his
paper,
so
I'll
ask
for
that.
I
do
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
grandson
sponsorship
program.
I
had
talked
to
staff
about
this,
so
we've
gone
in
different
directions,
but
I
do
think
it's
an
important
role
of
our
of
our
Council
and
part
of
our
budget.
J
So
initially
we
had
had
it
be
very
Council
directed
and
we
had
a
subcommittee
and
then
we
decided
here
on
Council
and
then
now
we've
moved
to
like
a
staff
directed
process
where
last
last
year,
staff
decided-
and
we
just
allocated
the
money
we
had
talked
about
in
the
past.
There
are
some
key
public
institutions
in
our
city
that
we
might
want
to
take
out
from
the
grants
and
sponsorships
like
the
competitive
process
for
small
non-profits
and
maybe
just
add
them
as
line
items
in
our
budget.
J
We
had
talked-
and
we
don't
have
to
do
that
today,
but
just
a
flag
for
Council
for
next
years,
because
you
know
we
funded
the
Palm
Springs
Cultural
Center
Center,
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
maizelle
lgbtq
Center
Jewish,
Family
Services.
The
art
museum
is
not
in
here,
but
it's
separate
funds
right
and
so
there's
just
this
like
key
institutions,
and
so
it's
interesting
making
it
a
competitive
process
instead
of
just
like.
If
you're
you
know
this
they're
doing
public
services
for
us
providing
public
services
that
would
cost
us
a
lot
more
to
provide.
J
So
we
had
talked
about
just
doing
line
items
for
some
of
those
institutions
as
opposed
to
taking
big
chunks,
because
you
know
this
was
last
year
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
boys
and
girls
club
100
000.
For
myself.
You
know
you
get
really
close
to
a
million
and
that
takes
away
from
small
and
not
upcoming,
non-profits
or
other
people
who
might
need
the
fun
so
I
would
absolutely
support
an
increase
whatever
amount.
AF
AF
J
AF
J
And
then
more
would
probably
be
possible,
considering
we're
sitting
on
a
lot
of
surplus.
True,
so
that's
one
thing
so
I'd
love
to
talk
about
that
with
Council
I
would
love
to.
We
also
got
a
few
other
requests,
so
the
art
museum
requested
they're,
not
in
our
line
item
budget.
It
looks
like
there
is
also
so
there's
money
in
Grants
and
sponsorships,
potentially
for
them
that
we
could
allocate
there's
also
money
in
the
Arts
fund.
J
It
sounds
like
there's
half
a
million
dollars,
that's
remaining
in
the
Arts
fund,
though
that
fund
does
take
away
from
art
projects
in
the
community.
So
maybe
we
can
find
some
money
for
their
request.
I
would
love
to
see
that
the
organization
do
the
right
thing,
also
requested
I.
Think
thirty
thousand
dollars
they've
been
working
with
the
police
department
and
with
local
high
school
with
students,
so
I'd
love
to
see
if
that's
something
that
we
could
fit
in
in
the
budget.
J
I'm
hoping
mayor,
Pro
tem
is
asking
about
Quimby
funds
to
fund
our
Amphitheater
or
other
Park
improvements
that
we
need
so
desperately
I
would
support
that
and
I
think
that
we're
also
going
to
talk
about
Economic
Development
work
that
we
could
support
as
well.
But
those
are
my
main,
my
main
comments
really
excellent
job.
I
know
it's
not
easy.
I
know
we
have
staff
turnover
and
you're
really
piecing
some
of
this
stuff
together
and
I
think
you've
done
a
really
fantastic
job.
J
F
You
know
I
I,
find
myself
when
we
get
to
this
last
session,
wanting
to
make
as
few
changes
as
absolutely
possible,
but
specifically
to
the
art
museum.
What
we
have
seen
and
I'm
very
pleased
that
Adam
is
here
this
evening.
His
leadership
has
been
absolutely
remarkable
and
we
have
seen
a
sea
change
in
terms
of
the
cooperation
and
involvement
of
the
art
museum
with
the
broader
Palm
Springs
Community
and
I
want
to
reward
that
good
work
so
between
the
public,
Arts,
commission
and
other
places.
A
H
H
I
would
like
to
ask
that
we
make
this
a
priority
to
have
our
Parks
master
plan
done
as
soon
as
possible
and
take
into
account
all
of
these
different
issues
that
we
have
include.
We
have
the
Quimby
funds
to
really
build
up
the
downtown,
the
amphitheater
to
make
sure
I
know.
We've
had
some
discussions
actually
I
shouldn't
say
that
so
and
to
look
at
the
pickleball
to
the
dog
parks
make
sure
the
playgrounds
all
of
these
different
things
that
were
happening.
H
H
I
agree,
I
I,
think
one
of
the
things
I
I
absolutely
agree
with
everyone
about
the
art,
museum,
I
think
it
has
been
it's
terrific
and
and
we're
talking
about
the
free
Thursday
nights,
and
maybe
what
we
want
to
do
is
also
tie
because
they
do
the
second
second
Sundays
I
think
it
is
third
Sundays
which
is
a
great
Community
event
as
well
and
and
there's
a
lot
of
these
community
events.
But
the
other
thing
is
that
since
Adam
has
Adam
Malone
has
been
here.
H
It's
also
been
very
much
involved
in
the
hospitality
community,
and
this
is,
although
it's
a
community
Museum,
it
is
also
a
tourist
role
and
and
I
think
having
a
business.
Downtown
I
will
tell
you.
It
has
been
many
years
before
people
actually
knew
there
was
an
art
museum
there,
and
now
visitors
are
seeing
it,
which
is
great,
and
it's
and
it's
really
a
world-class
Art
Museum.
So
one
thing
the
one
question
I
have
is
the
current
money
for
Thursday
nights
that
comes
out
of
public
Arts.
H
Okay,
so
I
would
like
to
see
it.
I
would
like
to
make
sure
that
we,
you
know
I,
wouldn't
necessarily
want
to
take
the
other
300
000
out
of
public
Arts
fund
without
discussing,
but
maybe
they
want
to
put
in
some
of
it.
But
I
would
ask
that
that
go
to
the
public
Arts
commission
if
they
want
to
increase
that
or
if
they
want
to
put
some
of
that
300
000
into
ensuring
we
have
the
second
Sundays,
the
second
Sundays
third
Sundays,
sorry
that
that
I
would
want
to
have
their
input.
H
I
also
want
to
mention
in
terms
of
this
grants
and
sponsorships.
There
are
other
places
where
money
comes
from
so
like
for
measure
J.
They
did
give
my
500
000
for
the
might
as
well
kitchen
and
and
some
money
for
boys
and
Club
Girls
Club.
They
are
more
they're,
not
just
program
expenses,
but
if
they
didn't
get
that
from
measure
J,
then
you
know
it's
it's
they
they
would
have
to
find
it
from
somewhere
else.
H
So
there
are
other
places
that
we
can
look
and
we
should
make
sure
that
we're
considering
it
the
the
eventual
10
million
dollars
in
measure
J
Community,
initiated
projects
I
think
right
now
we're
at
a
point
where
engineering
and
staff
can't
handle
a
whole
lot
more
Community
projects,
and-
and
we
saw
that
even
this
year.
So
if
we
know
we
have
that
money
in
25,
it
might
make
sense,
then
for
measure
J
to
start
soliciting
Community
projects.
H
That
could
be
done
at
that
point
and
being
able
to
involve
engineering
and
what
actually
makes
sense
because
I
know
last
time
they
came
up
with
all
these
projects
that
hadn't
really
been
fully
vetted,
so
the
cost
fitted
so
I
wanted
to
add
that
I
also
wanted
to
raise
and
I
hope.
I
can
do
this
now,
but
in
the
economic
development.
H
We've
talked
a
lot
about
about
that
earlier
tonight
we
talked
about
a
tech
task
force.
Previously
we
just
talked
about
a
potential
business
improvement
district.
The
facade
Improvement
program
came
up,
we've
run
out
of
money.
I
personally
would
like
to
see
a
dumpster
Improvement
program,
because
that
will
be
another
subject,
but
can
I
ask
that
we
reinstate
the
business
retention
and
economic
development
subcommittee
that
council
members
hostage
and
Coors
ran
so
well
in
the
past.
K
H
Well,
I'm
I'm,
going
to
add
that
to
my
suggestion
that
we
reinstate
that
committee
that
could
handle
a
lot
of
these
four
or
five
issues
that
came
up
tonight
and
other
ones
as
well.
I
think
that
may
have
been
all
I
all
I
had
for
that.
But
thank
you
for
all
this
work.
Chris
and
having
a
two-year
budget
is
really
is
really
terrific.
H
E
Yeah
fully
support
the
300
000
for
the
museum,
but
I
I
would
be
opposed
to
taking
it
from
the
public.
Arts
commission
I
think
we
we
need
to
let
that
those
monies
sit
with
them.
They've
got
a
lot
of
projects,
so
this
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
we've
got
a
pool
from
another
source
and
not
take
away
from
the
public
Arts
commission,
but
I
fully
support
that
amount
and
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
added
into
the
grants
and
sponsorship
for
24.
sounds
good
too.
F
F
But
the
other
number
that
just
jumped
out
at
me
is
property.
Taxes
are
usually
pretty
level
and
we've
gone
from
24
to
31
31,
almost
32
million
dollars
in
property
taxes
over
the
course
of
just
a
little
over
five
years.
So
I
want
to
in
passing
this
budget,
give
a
shout
out
and
a
thank
you
to
our
business
Community
to
our
visitors,
who
come
to
Palm
Springs
to
our
residents,
who
have
invested
in
this
city.
F
A
Thank
you
for
that.
I
agree
all
right.
So
what
I
have
heard
that
I
have
heard
support
for
I
think
is
a
5k
additional
for
each
district
for
a
total
of
25
000,
additional
funding
for
discretionary
fund,
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
the
art
museum,
an
increase
of
Grants
and
sponsorships
by
three
hundred
thousand
dollars,
making
it
1.3
and
then
a
request
to
reinstate
the
business
retention
subcommittee.
J
I'll
get
asked
about
this:
do
the
right
thing
had
requested
funding
for
the
city
for
the
work
they're
doing
with
the
police
department?
The
police
department
didn't
include
that
in
their
budget
we
can
add
it
here
or
we
could
direct
them
to
the
grinson
sponsorship
program.
It's
up
to
stat
city
council
would.
A
H
H
V
Mr
Mayor
Pro
tem,
my
understanding
is
yeah.
The
process
is
we
will,
after
the
budget's
approved
in
July,
we'll
start
the
application
process.
I
understand.
We
notify
the
agencies
that
the
application
is
open
to
to
make
their
requests,
and
then
we
would
diligently
go
about
trying
to
make
those
allocations,
but
I
might
defer
to
our
assistant
City
Manager
for
explaining
that
a
little
better.
W
Mayor
council
members,
the
city
manager
is
correct
that,
after
the
budget
is
approved,
we
will
start
the
process
for
an
application
period,
and
then
staff
takes
your
recommendations
and
guidance
on
things
that
have
been
priorities
for
the
city
council,
things
that
have
been
funded
in
the
past.
That's
how
we've
done
it
the
last
several
years
making
sure
they
impact
Palm
Springs
residents
and
assess
the
applications.
H
H
E
Special
events
and
sponsorship
committee,
then
we're
not
having
a
hands-off
from
the
the
discretion
that
they
have
but
I
understand.
We
do
have
a
special
projects
fund
that
there
is
some
money
there,
so
why
I
would
suggest
we
pull
that
35
from
the
special
projects
fund
and
that's
separate,
and
apart
from
what's
happening
with
grants
and
sponsorships,
we
can
do.
AF
A
And
in
general,
though,
for
the
Arts
Museum,
you
know
this
is
back
in
2008.
It
was
a
request
by
the
city
council
at
the
time
to
have
free,
Thursday
nights,
and
so
it
would
be
nice
to
just
see
this
work
done
to
our
regular
budget,
which
is
why
I
see
that
that
asked
differently
than
I
see.
Do
the
right
thing,
for
instance,
which
to
me
is
more
of
a
grants
and
sponsorships
type
thing.
A
But
if
Council
wants
to
move
forward
with
this
one-time
request,
that's
fine,
but
but
I
do
want
to
just
point
put
that
out
there,
because
I
do
know
that
we
end
up
hearing
from
other
groups
and
people
asking
us
about
why
we're
funding
this
project
and
not
others
in
this
special
way.
So
just
as
it,
this
is
an
exception,
not
the
rule.
Yeah.
H
A
All
right
so
I'm
just
going
to
repeat
this
again
so
that
we're
all
on
the
same
page.
What
I
have
is
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
total
to
the
discretionary
fund,
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
the
art
museum
from
the
special
projects
fund,
1.3
million
dollars
for
Grants
and
sponsorships
a
thirty
five
thousand
dollars
for
do
the
right
thing
from
the
special
projects
fund,
reinstate
our
business
retention
subcommittee
and
a
request
to
prioritize
the
parks
master
plan.
K
A
I
would
love
to
appoint
council
member
holstage
and
mayor
Pro
tem
Jeffrey
Bernstein,
if
they'll
accept
fantastic
I,
also
do
want
to
say
that
this
this
budget
is
based
on
what
I
just
stated,
as
well
as
we're
approving
it
with
the
prior
changes
from
items
3A,
B
and
C.
So
that
is
with
what's
on
the
table
and
we
can
all
go.
A
All
right,
thank
you
all
so
much,
and
we
are
only
one
minute
off
from
my
predicted
time
for
when
we
would
get
to
public
comment
all
right.
The
next
item
is
public
comment
on
non-agenda
items.
This
time
has
been
set
aside
for
members
of
the
public
to
address
the
city
council
on
items
of
general
interest
within
the
subject
matter:
jurisdiction
of
the
city.
While
we
value
your
comments,
we
cannot
take
action
on
any
items
at
this
time.
We
have
one
speaker
Mark,
Patrick
Reese.
A
V
V
I
have
to
say
it
was
and
I
think
I've
said
this
before
the
second
week,
I
was
here,
I
charged
them
with
adjusting
and
pivoting
to
a
two-year
budget,
and
they
performed
admirably
as
well.
I,
see
all
of
our
department.
Directors
didn't
want
to
stay
around
too
much
longer,
but
I
was
going
to
thank
them
for
all
of
their
work
too,
in
adjusting
on
very
short
notice,
and
it's
I
think
it's
going
to
prove
very
positive
for
all
of
us
to
approve
this
to
your
budget
this
evening.
V
I
think
we'll
appreciate
it
next
year
in
the
middle
of
a
lot
of
stuff.
That's
going
on.
I
also
wanted
to
mention
very
just
very
briefly.
We
have
I'm
sure.
Maybe
some
of
you
are
going
to
talk
about
it
too,
but
as
we
celebrate
our
nation's
Independence
next
week,
we
have
a
whole
series
of
activities
that
are
going
on
and
the
community
should
visit
our
website
and
to
find
out
everything
going
on.
V
It's
going
to
be
a
nine
cities
challenge
we're
going
to
host
it
at
the
Palm
Springs
police
training
center
on
Wednesday,
July
26th
and
we'll
talk
about
it
more
and
get
try
and
get
as
much
involvement
as
we
can
in
that
blood
drive.
We
haven't
done
one
in
a
while,
so
this
will
be
it'll
be
a
great
event
for
us.
So
that's
all
I
have
Madame
mayor,
oh
and
yes,
I'm.
V
Sorry,
looking
at
our
tentative
upcoming
meeting
schedule,
you
will
see,
of
course
the
city
council
goes
on
recess
in
August,
so
we
have
more
items
that
we'll
be
trying
to
get
on
on
July
24th.
You
will
see
on
July
10th.
We
really
have
a
pretty
light
schedule,
part
of
that,
because
the
date
has
been
moved
up
a
little
bit
too.
So
we
really,
you
know,
the
agenda
won't
be,
will
be
pretty
light,
but
the
July
24th
we'll
have
we'll
have
a
number
of
items.
A
K
E
K
A
K
Correct
you
know
if
there
are
changes
proposed
to,
for
instance,
the
sidewalk
vending
ordinance,
then
that
would
have
to
be
another
first
reading
and
then
a
subsequent
second
reading.
So
that's
really
dependent
on
you
know
whether
the
council
receives
input
and
chooses
to
to
modify
the
the
sidewalk
vending
ordinance.
A
And
they'll
say
if
there
is,
if
I
have
not
heard
of
any
changes
to
the
sidewalk
vending
ordinance
at
this
time.
If
there
are,
then
those
would
be
things
that
we
would
really
need
to
get
in
and
begin
discussions
about
prior
to
the
July
10th
meeting
or
more
reason
to
push
it
to
the
July
24th
meeting.
If
there's
extensive
changes
that
are
needed,
mayor
councilmember,
Middleton.
J
F
A
If
we,
if
we
defer
than
that
item,
would
come
back
in
September
mm-hmm,
so
I'm
a
little
bit
confused,
are
we
saying
that
we're
going
to
postpone
the
July
10th
meeting
and
have
the
but
have
the
sidewalk
vending
ordinance
come
back
in
September?
Or
are
we
saying
we're
going
to
do
a
July
10th
meeting
and
we
may
need
to
push
it
if
council,
member
holstich
isn't
in
attendance?
Can.
E
K
A
I
think
the
regarding
sidewalk
vending
it's
it's
more
of
whether
or
not
we
want
to
address
it
the
once
it's
a
once.
It's
approved
the
ordinance
won't
go
into
effect
until
another
30
days.
If
we're
going
to
be
doing
basically
a
first
reading
again
the
second
time
we
hear
it,
then
it
would
make
sense
for
us
to
hear
it
sooner
than
later,
but
I
do
anyone
who's
listening
about
sidewalk
vending!
A
J
Thank
you
madamir.
If
I
can
make
a
request
too
I've
been
getting
requests
about
enforcement,
so
I'd
love
when
it
comes
back
to
also
get
an
update
about
what
enforcement
is
happening
for
sidewalk
vending.
There's
I've
seen
it
I've
personally
seen
a
number
of
vendors
with
code
enforcement
or
city
staff
there
and
so
I'm
getting
requests
from
the
community.
You
know
what's
happening
with
the
enforcement
under
the
current
ordinance,
so
if
we
could
bring
that
back,
I
didn't
raise
it
last
time
because
it
was
like
11
p.m
or
something
it
was
very
late.
H
I
just
want
to
thank
councilmember
de
Hart
for
the
big
gay
barbecue
Pride
event
that
was
really
terrific
and
hopefully
we'll
have
more
regular
June,
Pride
events
in
Palm
Springs,
and
as
long
as
you
promise
that
weather
it
was
a
really
terrific
event
and
really
great
Community
event.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
so
I
do
have
a
couple
of
items
that
I
I
want
to
raise.
One
is
that
I
would
like
to
see
us
discuss
procurement
and
local
hire
as
a
as
a
as
a
policy.
This
has
been
since
I've
been
on
Council.
We've
discussed
the
issue
of
local
hire
and
procurement
quite
a
bit,
and
but
we
haven't
taken
any
formal
action.
A
So
if
there's
support
from
Council
I'd
like
to
see
that
on
an
upcoming
agenda,
I'm
seeing
nods
of
support,
the
other
is
that
we
continue
to
have
issues
with
residents
complaining
about
the
base
levels
and
I
know
that
noise
ordinance
generally,
is
a
fraught
issue,
but
I
would
really
like
us
to
look
specifically
at
base
levels
and
limit
our
conversation
to
to
that
and
how
we
can,
because
I
don't
think
we
have
any.
We
don't
have
any
ordinance
on
base
levels
at
this
time.
E
Did
have
a
comment
and
to
city
manager,
I
I
I'd
like
to
make
a
recommendation
that
we
have
somebody
from
the
sept
committee
serve
on
this
sponsorship
and
grants
decision-making
process.
So
the
special
events
team
over
at
parks
and
rec
I
think
they
would
bring
something
some
really
valuable
insight
to
the
decision-making
process.
There.
F
F
We
also
elected
a
new
chair
for
next
year,
and
that's
yours
truly
so,
and
lastly,
I
want
to
use
this
occasion
to
thank
all
of
the
folks
with
San
Francisco
Pride
for
giving
me
an
opportunity
to
speak
at
the
pride
breakfast,
this
past
Sunday
and
most
particularly
the
opportunity
to
stand
up
and
defend
transgender
children
everywhere.
Thank
you.
That's.
