Description
City of Palm Springs City Council Meeting, held January 27th 2022
A
A
Good
evening,
everyone
and
I
apologize
for
the
delay-
we
had
a
extremely
long
closed
session
this
evening.
I
hereby
call
to
order
the
palm
springs
city
council
meeting
of
january
27
2022.
A
C
A
D
Hi
good
evening,
madam
mayor
council,
tonight
I'm
gonna
provide
you
a
snapshot
of
where
we
are
with
covid
to
help
reframe
any
discussions
you
and
city
managers
need
to
have,
but
before
I
do
that,
I
have
to
figure
out
how
to
share
my
screen.
D
It
is
the
is
the
slideshow
up.
Madam
mayor.
Yes,
it
is
please
thank
you,
so
I
I
want
to
preface
the
next
eight
slides
with
an
acknowledgement
that
the
numbers
are
starting
to
trend
downward,
but
we
do
have
a
lot
of
room
for
improvement,
so
this
first
slide
is.
Obviously
this
is
the
six
metrics
that
the
state
uses
to
track
covid
the
darker
line
is
riverside
county.
D
The
lighter
line
is
the
state,
as
you
can
see,
both
numbers
are
trending.
Downward
riverside
county
is
still
a
little
bit
worse
than
the
overall
average
for
the
state,
but
across
the
board,
numbers
numbers
are
starting
to
improve,
as
we
look
a
little
bit
closer
at
riverside
county
on
the
the
bottom
right,
the
past
six
weeks,
kind
of
obscures
the
decline,
and
that's
because
we
had
a
holiday,
so
anytime
there's
a
holiday.
D
D
So
as
we
look
a
little
bit
closer
at
palm
springs,
we
see
the
decline
a
little
bit
better
and
it'll
be
a
little
bit
more
clear
on
the
next
slide.
When
we
talk
about
the
valley
right
now,
palm
springs
is
averaging
about
100
cases
per
week,
so
that
is
trending
downward.
D
D
For
the
wastewater
treatment,
this
testing
going
back
all
the
way
to
the
beginning,
so
we
can
see
both
surges
the
one
last
christmas
and
the
one
now
last
winter's
viral
load
peaked
at
about
2.5
million,
which
was
really
scary
at
the
time.
We've
learned
a
lot
since
then.
D
D
Again,
the
the
wastewater
treatment
data
were
behind
a
week,
so
we
only
have
up
until
last
monday
and
tuesday
we're
anticipating
the
testing
that
was
done
this
monday
and
tuesday
to
continue
in
that
that
downward
trend,
as
everything
else
has
been
a
comparison
of
this
year
late
over
last
year,
which
it
does
show
that
we
have
a
much
higher
peak
this
year
than
we
did
last
christmas.
But
again,
I'm
going
to
reiterate
watching
for
trend
lines
instead
of
just
looking
at
data
points.
D
It
is
the
way
that
we
need
to
look
at
things
and
then
for
gt
molecular
again
we're
a
week
behind
the
data
going
back
to
december
6th.
We
see
that
we
had
a
peak
just
after
christmas
and
new
year's
and
then
we're
starting
to
trend
downward.
We
will
have
this
week's
testing
data.
We
were
hoping
to
have
it
today,
but
we
will
have
it
available,
probably
by
monday,
and
so,
as
I've
indicated
across
all
the
slides,
we
are
seeing
progress
across
the
various
mechanisms
that
we're
using
to
track
kovit.
D
A
Danny.
Thank
you.
This
is
incredibly
good
information
and
certainly
encouraging
that
things
are
dropping,
but
could
you
go
back
to
the
slide
that
would
show
the
number
of
deaths
in
palm
springs.
D
So
we
have
choose
your
poison,
you
want
the
valley
or
just
palm
springs.
Madam
mayor
palm
springs,
okay,.
A
So
we
had
one
more
death
in
the
last
week,
bringing
us
to
140
for
the
duration
of
of
this,
and
you
know,
there's
been
a
lot
of
speculation
on
all
kinds
of
numbers
and
what
this
means
and
what
that
means-
and
I
just
want
to
remind
everyone-
140
of
our
neighbors
and
friends-
are
gone
from
us
forever
and
please
take
and
remember
those
and
take
this
virus
seriously.
D
No,
madam
mayor,
that
was
actually
one
of
the
the
points
that
I
wanted
to
make
is
that
I
forgot
to
mention
is
that
while
numbers
are
trending
downward,
we
are
still
seeing
people
hospitalized
and
there
are
still
deaths
happening.
So
we
should
not
be
letting
our
guard
down
just
because
we
start
seeing
all
of
the
trend
lines
moving
in
the
southern
direction,.
A
I
can't
see
everyone
on
council
when
we've
got
a
presentation.
Are
there
any
comments
or
questions
from
anyone
on
council
there?
We
go
sorry,
madam
mayor,
not
at
all,
I
don't
see
any
so
danny.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
to
everyone
who's
who
has
worked
with
us
during
this
crisis.
A
Our
next
presentation
is
going
to
be
a
much
more
positive
one,
and
that
is
going
to
be
the
greater
palm
springs
convention
and
visitors
bureau
update
and
for
that
we
get
to
be
joined
by
mr
scott
white
and
miss
colleen
pace.
So
we
are,
we
are
glad
to
have
you.
Thank
you.
F
Yep
good
evening,
good
evening,
good
evening,
madam
mayor
members
of
the
council,
I'm
scott
white,
I'm
president
and
ceo
of
visit,
greater
palm
springs.
Colleen
pace
is
our
chief
sales
and
marketing
officer.
We
have
a
lot
of
slides
to
go
through
so
we'll
try
to
be
as
quick
as
we
possibly
can.
Is
it
okay
to
begin?
It
is
please,
thank
you
very
much.
I
think
colleen's
gonna
share
her
screen.
E
F
Thank
you
and
the
visit
greater
palm
springs
is
a
regional
tourism
agency
really
trying
to
affect
the
destination's
tourism
economy
and
the
quality
of
life
for
residents,
and
obviously
the
the
tourism
businesses
that
we
represent
throughout
the
entire
valley.
We
were
formed
in
1989
and
a
lot
has
changed
in
the
time
frame,
but
here's
a
real
quick
overview
of
our
strategic
initiatives.
We
promote
regional
collaboration
amongst
the
nine
cities.
Working
more
collectively
together
is
important.
We're
supporting
workforce
development,
which
is
really
a
key
important
topic
today,
more
so
than
ever.
F
We
certainly
focus
on
trying
to
drive
demand
for
the
off
season,
our
summer
months
and
shoulder
months
and
neat
periods
throughout
the
year
and
grow
international
visitation,
we're
trying
to
broaden
and
improve
visitor
experiences
through
things
like
the
tourism
grant,
which
I'll
talk
about
in
a
little
bit
increased
visitor
access,
which
is
air
service
development,
and
then
this
two
areas
have
kind
of
come
on
the
radar
in
the
last
two
years
or
so
focus
on
sustainability
and
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion.
F
F
We
receive
about
1.4
million
from
private
revenues
and
then
again
the
rest
comes
from
the
t
bids
and
we're
proud
to
say
that
the
majority
of
our
funds
are
utilized
for
sales
and
marketing
efforts,
business
development,
communications
and
only
11
go
into
operations,
and
in
september
of
last
year
we
entered
into
an
agreement
with
the
city
of
palm
springs,
the
bureau
of
tourism.
F
I
want
to
give
kudos
to
rob
hampton
and
his
team.
They
work
closely
with
us.
They
are
a
great
partner
and
great
collaborator.
We
were
very
lucky
to
bring
kimber
foster
on
from
grapevine
texas
she's,
coming
with
a
lot
of
energy
and
a
lot
of
enthusiasm
and
a
lot
of
experience.
She's
in
new
york
this
week
or
she'd
join
us
but
she's
out
trying
to
spread
the
good
good
name
about
palm
springs
and
drum
up
some
communication
opportunities
at
the
international
media
marketplace.
F
Research,
everything
that
we
do
is
really
guided
by
research
and
analytics.
So
we
always
take
extra
time
and
effort
to
understand
what
the
consumer
is
thinking.
What
the
information
is
coming
from,
the
the
economic
data
for
the
for
the
destination,
so
we're
going
to
be
doing
a
resident
study
here
in
the
next
few
months.
We
want
to
understand
from
the
consumers
what
their
impression
and
perception
is
of
the
tourism
industry.
F
So
we'll
begin
that
research,
probably
in
the
end
of
the
first
quarter
of
2022,
we're
doing
a
study
on
the
on
the
impact
of
cannabis
on
the
region.
We
want
to
better
understand
how
cannabis
impacts
our
industry,
the
tourism
industry
overall,
and
what
is
what
role
should
we
play
within
that
industry
meetings,
which
is
about
60
percent
of
our
business
in
high
season
and
certain
times
of
the
year?
F
We
want
to
better
understand
what
the
media
professional
thinks
of
the
destination,
what
barriers
we
have
and
how
we
overcome
those
we're
currently
working
on
two
studies:
the
vacation,
rental,
economic
impact
study,
one
for
the
entire
region
and
one
for
each
city.
And
then
we
also
want
to
understand
what
the
effect
of
a
bands
have
of
vacation
rentals
in
the
destination
as
well.
F
So
tourism
economics
are
working
on
those
two
as
well,
and
then
we
also
have
a
workforce
development
impact
report
and
then
from
then
turn
over
to
colleen
she's,
going
to
give
you
a
marketing
update.
E
Thank
you,
scott
brief
overview
of
some
of
the
campaigns
that
we're
working
on
with
the
media
partners
listed
here.
You
can
see
all
the
nice
colorful
logos
here,
I've
categorized
them
into
different
awareness
levels
and
including
awareness
of
tv
and
out
of
home
online
travel
agencies,
digital
content
programs,
where
we're
able
to
specifically
target
people
based
on
their
interests
and
behaviors
seasonal
targeting
including
weather,
channel
and
pandora,
and,
of
course,
our
social
media.
The
plan
is
to
spend
3.5
million
dollars
on
these
programs
in
2022.
E
in
2021
we
spent
2.5
million
and
also
had
an
additional
750
000
in
grant
money
from
riverside
county
that
we
were
able
to
use
to
subsidize
these
programs.
Our
summer
campaign
was
very
successful.
As
scott
mentioned.
We
really
drive
all
of
our
campaigns
originally
from
research,
so
we
did
test
these
tag
lines
and
check
and
chill
out
was
by
far
the
winner
of
what
resonated
with
our
consumers.
E
We
we
had
over
10
billion
impressions
and
500
000
television
spots
that
we
ran
throughout
the
summer
and
we
were
able
to
expand
our
markets
from
the
drive
market
into
the
additional
fly
markets
that
we
now
have
year-round.
So
you
can
see
those
listed
here
as
well
as
the
campaign
listed
to
the
right.
E
E
So
that
spot
ran
in
oakland
specific
with
the
southwest
airlines
tag.
This
is
our
2022
plan
for
co-op
opportunities.
We
were
able
to
add
and
enhance
our
co-op
programs
for
2022,
so
some
of
the
new
programs
that
we
have
are
native
advertising,
audio
and
social
media.
E
Now
moving
on
to
our
fall
and
winter
campaign,
this
is
running
in
all
of
the
existing
fly
and
drive
markets.
The
campaign
is
what
will
you
find
as
it
relates
to
our
find
your
oasis
brand?
So
this
is
a
really
fun
campaign,
we're
expecting
and
anticipating
12
billion
impressions
and
over
800
000
television
spots.
In
addition,
we're
supporting
flair
airlines
with
the
new
flight
to
toronto.
You
can
see
some
of
the
campaign
digital
ads
here
and
the
estimated
impressions
that
we
have.
E
E
E
E
We
also
are
able
to
track
bookings
through
a
platform
adara
where
we
pixel
our
digital
ads
and
we're
able
to
follow
them
for
60
days
through
the
booking
cycle
and
for
palm
springs
is
ranking
number
two
and
the
destination
at
31.6
percent
of
the
hotel
revenue
bookings,
which,
for
the
hote
for
the
destination,
is
over
12
million
dollars
that
we're
tracking
social
and
local,
so
social
media
strategy.
You
can
see
here
some
of
the
visuals
we
have.
I
have
a
few
videos
to
share
with
you,
but
we're
on
facebook,
instagram,
pinterest,
newsletters,
youtube
and
tick.
E
E
And
our
love
local
campaign-
these
are
some
of
the
campaigns
that
we're
currently
working
with
dying
gps,
love,
local
trelicious
summer
eats
and
love
local.
Those
are
mobile
passes
where
we
promote
different
businesses
within
the
destination
and
our
new
campaign,
art
and
soul,
is
in
development,
we'll
be
launching
that
in
in
the
first
quarter,
probably
in
march,
and
we're
excited
to
really
showcase
our
local
artists
and
how
the
visitor
can
experience
the
art
in
our
destination.
E
E
E
We
also
are
launching
a
new
arts
app
which
will
be
available
both
on
android
and
iphone,
we're
launching
that
this
quarter.
Currently,
we
have
48
pieces
of
public
art
in
palm
springs
proper
that
will
be
on
this
app
it'll
be
integrated
into
our
regular
website
system.
So
we
can
update
it
in
real
time
and
also
have
other
resources
on
that
like
places
to
stay
places
to
eat
things
to
do
in
our
destination
for
public
relations.
Here
are
some
examples
of
some
of
the
publications
that
we've
been
in
in
2021.
E
You
can
see
the
impressions
and
add
value
of
almost
24
million,
and
one
of
the
highlights
I
wanted
to
share
is
the
live
with
kelly
and
ryan
spot
that
dedicated
an
entire
day
to
greater
palm
springs.
Mentioning
all
of
the
partners
listed
there
on
the
left,
and
I
have
a
short
clip
to
share
with
you
here.
F
J
I
J
Happy
to
listen
because,
what's
missing
from
the
palm
greater
palm
springs
area,
is
the
rnk.
K
Morning,
you
wouldn't
need.
H
L
E
F
Real
quick
update
on
air
service
since
the
airport
is
obviously
in
palm
springs.
I
know
you
get
updated
a
lot
from
daniel
and
the
team
we
work
collaborative
collaboratively
with
them
to
obviously
grow
air
service.
For
those
of
you
that
are
not
familiar
with
it.
The
airport
is
really
guided
by
the
faa
on
what
they
can
and
cannot
do.
We
have
a
little
bit
more
freedom,
so
we
can
enter
into
minimum
revenue,
guarantees
marketing
agreements
and
really
target
specific
destinations
that
we
want
to
go
into.
F
The
next
slide
should
kind
of
highlight
some
of
the
new
flights
that
have
come
in
swoop:
aha,
allegiant,
going
to
nashville
indianapolis
de
monza,
provo
provo,
alaska,
airlines
going
to
san
jose
and
a
lot
and
austin
is
new
southwest.
Obviously
they
added
chicago
and
dallas
during
the
holidays,
we'd
love
to
get
both
of
those
cities
back
year
round,
instead
of
seasonal
and
then,
of
course,
flair
to
toronto.
So
some
really
great
opportunities
at
the
airport.
There.
F
One
thing
I
just
want
to
kind
of
comment
at
the
airport
is:
we
have
had
interest
in
the
past
for
international
flights.
You
know
non-pre-clearance
destinations
in
canada,
mexico
we've
even
had
interest
from
some
international
destinations
like
london
and
germany
and
so
forth.
So
I
think,
hopefully
in
the
future,
if
we
can
get
an
international
customs
terminal
at
the
airport,
I
think
we
could
do
quite
well,
so
just
wanted
to
leave
that
with
you
and
we'll
turn
it
back
to
colleen
for
convention
sales.
E
Great
thanks,
scott,
so
convention
sales.
This
is
an
overview
of
our
team.
We
have
people
deployed
in
market
so
that
we
can
really
engage
and
be
involved
with
the
customers.
We
have
a
new
position
that
we
are
currently
actively
recruiting
for
we're
fairly
close
to
making
some
final
decisions
on
that
and
expect
to
do
that
in
q1.
For
the
vp
of
sales
position,
we've
also
are
adding
a
small
meetings
manager
position.
E
This
is
our
current
pace
target
goal
compared
to
what
we
have
on
the
books.
So
if
you
look
on
the
left
hand
side
here,
the
pace
target
goal
is
taken
from
our
historical
data.
This
is
pre-covered.
2020
is
taken
out
of
this
number
compared
to
what
we
have
on
the
books.
So
we
have
192
000
plus
on
the
books,
with
a
pace
target
goal
of
160,
so
we're
20
over
our
target
based
on
pre-covet
historical
data,
which
is
a
great
success.
E
E
Here
are
the
tentative
meetings
on
the
books
and
what
the
leads
that
we're
actively
looking
at
for
palm
springs,
total
and
the
convention
center.
So
206
leads
total
33
at
the
convention
center
and
the
corresponding
room
nights,
and
this
speaks
to
the
booking.
So
this
is
for
the
convention
center
bookings,
so
it
has
the
generated
rooms,
the
time
frame,
the
estimated
taxes
and
jobs
supported
for
the
21
22
model
there.
E
It's
only
a
six
month,
time
frame,
obviously
june
through
december,
and
this
is
total
palm
springs
convention
center
and
also
the
palm
springs
hotels,
combined
with
the
same
economic
impact
numbers.
F
Molly
and
visit
greater
palm
springs,
we're
not
a
membership
based
organization.
You
know
the
next
slide.
We
have
over
3
000
businesses
that
are
listed
on
our
website.
963,
currently
from
palm
springs,
602
are
listed
for
free,
so
anybody
that
is
in
the
tourism
industry
can
have
a
listing
on
our
website
complimentary
and
then
some
of
those
businesses
will
buy
into
marketing
opportunities
and
greater
exposure.
So
we
have
260
businesses
in
palm
springs
that
invest.
That's
that
private
revenue
that
comes
back
into
the
organization
and
then
valley
wide
we
have
711.
F
education
is
obviously
in
workforce.
Development
is
an
important
one.
The
tourism
foundation
was
formed
a
few
years
ago
to
help
with
scholarships
high
school
students
that
want
to
go
off
to
college
and
maybe
need
a
little
extra
help.
We're
broadening
the
the
effort
of
the
foundation
to
work
on
other
particular
programs.
We've
also
created
a
grant,
and
the
city
has
this
grant
in
front
of
you?
F
You
have
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
propose
to
the
foundation
on
how
to
improve
visitor
experiences
or
events
or
some
type
of
amenity
for
the
destination,
so
city
manager,
justin,
clifton,
has
that
and
amy
and
the
team
and
rob
hampton
have
that
in
front
of
we'll
share
something
with
you
in
the
near
future
and
then
the
next
slide
talks
a
little
bit
about
our
ambassador
program.
F
We
continue
to
train
our
workforce
in
the
destination
about
what
happens
here.
What's
going
on,
we
have
a
lot
of
workers
that
have
never
done
the
tram
they've
never
been
to
living
desert.
They
really
don't
know
how
to
engage
with
the
visitor
and
give
them
recommendations.
So
the
ambassador
program
teaches
them
how
to
ask
the
right
questions
to
make
sure
that
they're
providing
answers
that
are
appropriate.
You
know:
do
you
have
a
car?
How
much
time
do
you
have?
F
What
is
your
budget
we're
partnering
with
cod
to
make
that
program
virtual
for
those
that
can't
maybe
do
it
in
person?
We
want
to
have
a
virtual
opportunity
and
then
we're
working
with
them
to
enhance
the
pace
program,
so
we
can
get
more
workers
that
are
certified
in
culinary
arts
or
in
banquets
or
restaurants,
and
leadership
is
a
new
program,
we're
developing
with
them
as
well.
Some
of
that
will
obviously
be
in
person,
and
some
of
it
will
be
virtual,
so
we're
excited
about
that.
F
We've
applied
through
the
eda
for
a
grant
of
1.6
million
dollars
and
we're
hoping
that
we
can
launch
a
more
robust
program
later
this
year.
Travel
trade,
certainly
international,
has
probably
been
the
toughest
market
for
all
of
us.
So
really
we've
been
focused
on
usa
now,
canada
and
mexico.
We'll
continue
to
start
our
efforts
in
the
uk
and
parts
of
europe,
mostly
mostly
on
the
pr
side.
F
Trade
will
come
back
online
here
in
the
next
few
months
as
well,
and
then
clearly
places
like
asia,
india
and
so
forth
is
going
to
take
much
longer
to
to
rebound,
but
international
travelers.
They
spend
more
money,
they
stay
longer.
It's
an
important
market.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
the
greater
palm
springs
brand
and
an
opportunity
in
in
front
of
that
visitor,
because
we
know
when
they
do
come
back
to
visit,
we're
going
to
be
really
highly
desirable
for
that
particular
market
outdoor
spaces.
F
Lots
of
hiking
certainly
an
incredible
opportunity
for
them
to
enjoy
our
destination,
and
that
is
it.
So
you
have
a
much
bigger
document
that
we
typically
do.
We
shorten
that
down
by
quite
a
bit
you,
so
you
have
two
documents
if
you're
wondering
why
you
have
both
and
I'll
stop
there,
because
I
know
you're
running
a
little
behind
schedule
and
answer
any
questions.
A
Scott
colleen,
thank
you.
Are
there
any
questions
for
scott
and
colleen
council
member
woods.
G
First
of
all,
congratulations
on
the
rebranding.
It
looks
great
your
videos
and
the
branding
makes
palm
springs
anyway.
It
looked
incredibly
sexy,
so
I
definitely
appreciate
that
scott
very
quickly
because
I
think
there's
some
misinterpretation,
at
least
by
some
of
my
residents.
We
have
just
added,
or
you
have
just
added
a
one
percent
tax
to
tot
to
vacation
rentals,
and
can
you
just
quickly
explain
what
that's
for
and
how
that's.
F
Used,
certainly
it's
a
it's
actually
an
assessment:
it's
not
a
tax.
So
it's
an
assessment
where
the
industry
wanted
to
create
a
business
improvement
district,
so
they
came
to
us
and
our
hotel
improvement
district
was
renewing
last
year
and
the
industry
said
we
would
like
to
be
part
of
a
tourism
business
improvement
district
to
be
able
to
use
those
funds
for
research,
education,
obviously
marketing
of
the
destination
as
well,
trying
to
educate
the
traveler
coming
in
on
how
to
be
a
respectful
visitor
to
the
destination.
F
What
the
rules
are
within
the
destination
help
homeowners
understand
and
navigate
how
they
can
set
up
their
business
or
their
home
to
make
sure
that
they're
compliant
and
they're
doing
all
the
right
things
in
terms
of
notifying
the
visitor
about
noise
and
what
things
they
can
and
cannot
do
and,
as
we
know,
throughout
the
valley,
we
have
many
different
cities
that
have
many
different
rules
and
regulations.
So
we
want
to
help
each
of
the
areas.
F
The
v
rons
that
have
kind
of
been
created
in
palm
springs
all
the
way
to
india
and
laquinta
areas,
help
them
with
materials
help
them
with
websites
help
them
with
any
types
of
information
that
can
make
short-term
vacation
rentals
live
harmoniously
between
the
neighborhoods,
the
visitors
and
the
industry
overall,
and
so
we
were
really
able
to
use
our
resources
and
our
talent
within
the
organization
to
help
them.
G
F
So
we
typically,
I
would
say
historically,
we've
always
done
all
of
our
marketing
out
of
market,
but
last
year
we
received
a
grant
from
riverside
county
from
some
of
the
federal
funds
that
came
in,
which
had
enabled
us
to
do
some
love
local,
some
local
enhancements
to
the
to
market.
I
think
we
just
tried
to
pick
businesses
within
all
of
the
different
cities
and
colleen.
F
E
That's
right:
we
had,
we
had
kind
of
a
finite
budget
to
work
with,
so
we
just
tried
to
get
a
great
mixture
really
representing
all
of
the
cities
and
should
we
we
do
have
a
current
grant
proposal
out
with
riverside
county
and
the
local
portion
is
a
part
of
that.
So
should
we
receive
that,
we
will
look
at
going
out
there
again
and
adding
and
enhancing
to
that.
G
F
A
Are
there
any
other
questions
or
comments
for
scott
or
colleen
scott?
One
last
comment:
issues
around
trying
to
expand
our
international
flights
coming
into
palm
springs
are
going
to
be
an
immense
undertaking
requiring
significant
infrastructure
investments.
So
I
think
that's
something
as
we
move
forward.
A
We
need
to
be
very
cognizant
of
keeping
the
public
informed
and
keeping
expectations
realistic
as
what
we
can
do
and
what
kind
of
time
frames
are
involved.
Absolutely
thank
you
and
we
really
appreciate
the
information.
This
is
something
that
is
incredibly
important
to
our
city
and
to
our
region,
and
this
is
a
presentation
that
we
do
on.
I
believe,
an
annual
basis
with
that
we
will
thank
you
and
we'll
move
forward.
We
still
have
a
very
busy
agenda.
Thank
you.
H
A
Okay,
next
item
is
the
acceptance
of
the
agenda
the
city
council
will
discuss
the
order
of
the
agenda,
may
amend
the
order,
add
urgency,
items,
note,
abstentions
or
no
votes
on
consent,
calendar
items
or
request
consent,
calendar
items
to
be
removed
for
a
separate
discussion.
I
would
entertain
a
motion
for
the
acceptance
of
the
agenda.
A
A
M
A
Okay,
thank
you
for
that
clarification,
council
member
hostage.
A
O
C
C
E
A
All
right,
thank
you.
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
are
asked
to
please
begin
your
time
by
telling
us
what
agenda
item
or
items
you
are
speaking
about.
Please
note.
The
testimony
for
public
hearings
will
be
taken
at
the
time
of
the
public
hearing
and
the
general
public
comment
for
subjects
not
on
the
agenda
will
be
taken
later
in
this
evening.
A
Tonight's
city
clerk
will
be
contacting
speakers
by
telephone
and,
as
I
understand
it,
we
have
just
less
than
20
speakers
that
we
will
be
hearing
from
this
evening.
Mr
mejia,
will
you
start
the
public
testimony.
L
Thank
you
good
evening.
I
question
who
this
proposed
navigation
center
actually
benefits.
L
I
believe
it
does
not
benefit
the
homeless
who
indicate
that
their
majority
do
not
want
to
be
transported
to
an
area
where
there
are
limited
services,
no
shopping
areas
and
no
proximity
to
their
sources
of
income,
not
the
police
department
to
indicate
that
they
do
not
support
this
project
in
an
already
high
crime.
Neighborhood,
not
neighborhood
residents,
property
owners
and
renters,
who
overwhelmingly
do
not
want
the
facility
in
this
location,
primarily
because
of
poverty,
clustering
in
an
overburdened
and
already
struggling
neighborhood
and
fears
of
increased
crime
and
drug-related
activity.
L
The
real
beneficiaries
appear
to
be
the
city
of
palm
springs,
the
owner
of
the
property
and
the
service
contractors.
The
city
of
palm
springs
hopes
to
receive
a
massive
injection
of
capital
without
any
long-term
plan,
and
no
assured
county
or
state
funding
sufficient
for
building
renovation,
rehab
and
sustained
long-term
operations.
L
The
owner
of
the
real
estate
purchased
the
property
for
3.55
million
in
2020..
The
city
is
now
assuming
the
escrow
from
the
campaign
donor
for
5.9
million
and
are
pushing
for
a
quick
purchase
on
rapid
track
to
close
tomorrow
january
28th.
The
price
is
at
a
66
increase
over
the
prior
sale.
The
riverside
county,
real
estate
market
update,
puts
an
increase
of
18.4
year-over-year
for
commercial
industrial
property.
I
therefore
question
both
the
valuation,
the
price
and
the
motives
and
interests
of
the
parties
involved.
L
I
have
not
seen
any
real
estate
valuation
studies,
community
impact
studies,
long-term
operational
and
funding
requirements,
studies
or
long-term
capital
availability
studies.
Therefore,
I'm
strongly
opposed
to
the
facility
at
this
site
at
this
time
and
ask
the
city
delay
any
purchase
and
perform
real
due
diligence
for
the
unhoused
population
of
palm
springs,
who
we
all
wish
to
help.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you,
hello.
This
is
about
the
homeless
navigation
center.
I
understand
the
importance
of
helping
the
homeless
and
those
less
fortunate,
but
I
have
a
lot
of
concerns
about
this
project
and
the
location,
starting
with
the
fact.
The
city
wants
to
build
a
multi-million
dollar
homeless
navigation
center
in
a
community
that
is
already
struggling.
H
Why
isn't
the
council,
taking
into
account
the
needs
of
the
desert
highlands
residents
according
to
their
community
leaders?
They
are
already
they're
already
a
community
dealing
with
substance,
abuse,
mental
health
issues
and
violence.
Where
are
the
impact
study
reports
for
this
area?
I'd
like
to
see
those,
but
I
don't
see
they
don't
seem
to
exist.
If
they
do,
can
you
please
share
them
on
your
website?
H
After
this
meeting
I
saw
a
list
of
alternative
sites
for
this
project
and
there
seemed
to
be
locations
that
were
better
suited
or
centrally
located
than
surrounded
by
fewer
residents.
For
instance,
the
ramon
road
location
had
only
45
residents
notified
in
a
500
radius,
yet
the
mccarthy
area
had
137
residents
that
were
notified
and
if
you
include
the
empty
lot
right
next
to
mccarthy,
the
number
of
residents
jumps
to
311.
H
O
H
Less
than
seven
months,
quite
the
price
jump,
especially
when
the
person
selling
this
property
made
donations
to
current
student
council
members
just
makes
me
think
twice:
please
reconsider
this
homeless
navigation
center's
location
before
making
any
rush
decisions
that
could
be
detrimental
to
this
community.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank
you.
P
Okay,
this
is
also
regarding
the
mcclatkey
boat
housing
center,
the
word
nimby
thrown
on
a
lot,
an
online
forums
regarding
those
of
us
flying
this
location.
P
And
while
I
understand
that
concept,
the
actual
practical
definition
of
nimbyism
is
when
wealthy
individuals
from
affluent
neighborhoods
manage
to
push
projects,
they
find
distasteful
into
less
affluent,
usually
minority
neighborhoods,
and
that's
actually
the
working
definition
of
envision
and
that's
what's
happening
here.
P
That's
not
public
debate,
a
lot
of
us
here,
I
think
all
of
us
here,
I
believe,
are
looking
for
the
same
thing:
to
help
them
protect
the
homeless
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
about
the
harm
and
clean
the
shelter
the
shelter
this
place
does
to
the
neighbors
and
communities
surrounding
the
prospective
site.
What
I
haven't
actually
heard
anyone
discuss
is
the
actual
damage
that
will
be
done
to
the
homeless.
With
this
location
choice,
I've
got
all
the
documentation
the
city
is
provided
for
why
this
choice
makes
the
most
sense
it's
the
fastest.
P
It's
the
easiest,
it's
the
cheapest,
but
none
of
that
seems
to
address
the
long-term
needs
of
the
homeless
community.
I've
actually
recently
read
an
incredibly
in-depth
study
done
by
the
american
sociological
association
on
the
effects
of
placing
homeless
in
a
struggling
neighborhood.
The
port
was
released
10
months
ago
and
included
riverside
county
in
its
study.
The
data
is
astounding.
P
The
effect
on
the
homeless
community
is
largely
to
make
them
more
marginalized
than
ever
before,
and
they
are
33
more
likely
to
remain
homeless
than
those
placed
in
other
communities.
So
it's
not
only
harmful
to
the
communities
you're
placing
the
center
in
it's
actually
detrimental
and
detrimental
for
the
people.
You're
intending
to
help
palm
springs
has
done
nothing
to
elevate
the
north
side
of
palm
springs
and
all
of
these
communities
only
to
suppress
and
marginalize
them.
It's
time
to
turn
the
tables
in
this
project.
P
Thank
you.
It's
not
clear
what
your
true
intentions
and
motivations
are
behind
the
navigation
center
project,
but
it
is
very
clear
that
what
you're
trying
to
do
here
is
not
a
good
idea.
Obviously
wasn't
well
thought
through
and
is
not
going
to
reflect
well
on
the
city
council
members
driving
this
decision
at
its
core.
This
is
bad
policy.
P
It's
shocking
that
you
want
to
bust
more
homeless
people
into
palm
springs
from
across
riverside
county,
which
will
undoubtedly
increase
risks
to
our
city
and
there's
a
high
likelihood
that
this
shelter
won't
be
used
by
the
local
homeless
community,
because
you
want
to
build
it
in
a
location,
that's
geographically
undesirable
to
them.
So
if
this
moves
forward,
you
will
probably
waste
more
than
50
million
dollars
of
taxpayer
money
and
not
even
solve
the
core
problem
for
our
homeless
community
in
this
town,
while
bringing
more
homeless
people
to
our
neighborhoods.
P
P
But
the
most
shocking
part
of
this
is
that
four
white
politicians
on
this
council
continue
to
try
to
put
low
income,
housing,
housing
developments
and
now
a
massive
homeless,
shelter
experiment
up
against
desert
highland
gateway
estates.
The
largely
black
neighborhood
in
our
community
you're
pushing
what
will
undoubtedly
be
seen
as
racist
and
segregationist
policy
against
the
dissent
are
the
only
person
of
color
on
the
council.
This
is
not
going
to
reflect
well
on
the
full
review
and
will
follow
you
wherever
your
political
careers.
Take
you.
P
It
will
be
bad
pr
for
you
personally
and
for
the
city
of
palm
springs.
What
you're
proposing
to
do
is
not
a
good
idea
on
any
level
and
needs
to
be
stopped.
Let's
get
this
project
out
of
the
shadows
and
start
having
a
real
discussion
about
how
to
help
our
homeless
population
and
the
people
who
live
in
our
community
in
a
way
that
works
for
everyone.
L
Thank
you.
This
is
about
the
navigation
center,
a
member
of
my
family
experience
being
unhomed,
and
from
that
experience
I
can
say
that
having
the
navigation
center
located
over
three
miles
away
from
any
potential
places
of
employment
makes
it
more
difficult
for
the
unknown
to
obtain
employment,
relying
solely
on
public
transportation,
adds
stress
and
complexity
to
an
already,
increasingly
and
incredibly
stressful,
complex
situation.
L
I
believe
that
the
best
way
to
support
the
unholed
is
to
support
them
in
gaining
financial
security
and
to
provide
easy
access
to
employment.
The
only
way
my
family
member
was
able
to
become
homes
was
because
they
slept
in
a
car
outside
of
their
place
of
work,
which
eliminated
any
obstacle
getting
to
work
and
making
an
income.
After
months
of
saving,
my
family
member
was
able
to
afford
to
rent
a
place
to
live
and
to
continue
on
the
journey
of
becoming
financially
stable
and
safe.
L
If
the
intention
behind
building
this
center
is
to
provide
transitional
housing
and
support
to
the
unknown
population,
there
must
be
access
to
services
and
employment
for
these
people,
to
transition
into
a
life
of
independence
being
located
over
three
miles
away
from
where
they
historically
have
called
home
implies
that
you
want
to
push
this
quote-unquote
unsightly
problem
to
an
area
of
town
that
no
one
will
see.
This
location
is
the
absolute
wrong
location
for
the
navigation
center.
P
P
The
solution
is
not
to
push
unhoused
individuals
from
one
neighborhood
or
shopping
center
to
the
next
one.
The
solution
is
to
provide
the
facilities
and
staff
to
help
people
navigate
permanent
housing.
Again,
great
development
owns
property
nearby
this
location,
and
we
are
confident
the
new
navigation
center
will
not
impact
property
values.
Negatively
this
purchase
will
benefit
our
community,
our
quality
of
life.
It
will
result
in
cleaner
and
safer
speeds,
which
means
less
crime.
This
is
the
first
step
to
resolve
the
pressing
homeless
problem,
not
only
in
our
area
but
nationwide.
Thank
you.
L
Good
evening,
my
name
is
shannon
anderson.
I've
worked
in
palm
springs
since
1991
and
I'm
the
general
manager
of
hilton
palm
springs.
Thank
you
city,
council,
for
taking
my
call,
I
wish
to
voice
my
support
for
the
navigation
center.
The
homeless
issue
in
palm
springs
has
grown
extensively
in
the
past
two
years
from
the
perspective
of
homeowners,
business
owners
and
tourists.
This
presents
many
problems
that
we
are
now
facing
on
a
daily
basis.
L
The
police
department
currently
can
only
move
along
the
homeless
from
one
vacant
lot
or
parking
area
to
the
next.
There
are
literally
no
places
for
these
people
to
go
or
work
through
their
future.
This
is
not
a
solution
for
those
who
are
uncomfortable
with
having
this
facility
in
the
city
saying
it
will
create
an
increased
presence
of
homelessness.
L
It
is
important
to
note
that
we
have
already
have
an
increased
presence
and
we
need
to
act
now
and
start
providing
much
needed
help,
while
the
navigation
center
will
not
fix
all
the
problems
surrounding
this
issue,
it
is
important
and
an
essential
step
towards
finding
the
best
solutions
for
the
future
of
our
city.
Thank
you
for
your
time,.
L
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
and
council.
I
am
opposed
to
the
homeless,
navigation,
shelter
and
rocket
club
west
and
bordering
desert
highlands.
For
three
reasons.
I
spoke
to
homeless
experts
and
homeless
people
in
palm
springs.
They
don't
want
this
in
north
palm
springs,
because
the
homeless
are
not
going
to
take
the
bus
to
the.
L
L
L
L
L
P
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
I
just
wanted
to
speak.
I'm
a
I'm.
A
homeowner
in
palm
springs,
I'm
a
current
resident.
I
just
think
this
is
such
a
bad
idea.
P
What
I'm
most
shocked
about
is
just
all
the
closed
door
meetings
which
I
know
has
been
put
in
the
press
a
bit
too.
P
It
brings
up
a
feeling
that,
basically,
I
think
that
happened
with
covid
everybody
shut
their
doors
and
turn
on
their
video,
and
I
question
how
close
the
council's
with
the
community
there's
so
many
people
so
upset
about
this,
the
low-income
housing
that's
appearing
in
the
north
side
and
even
just
being
around
building
and
safety.
I
know
they
were
looking
at
other
lots
too
to
do
more,
low-income
housing
in
the
same
area
as
this
homeless
center
that
you're
proposing
our
navigation
center.
P
P
P
It's
80
beds
and
comprehensive
homeless
services
will
provide
the
needed
pathway
for
those
homeless.
Seeking
a
life
of
the
street.
Choosing
martha's
kitchen
as
the
operator
is
a
great
move.
Martha's
has
a
wonderful
track
record
in
such
a
difficult
and
important
scope
of
community
services,
great
job.
P
P
Hello
good
evening,
council
and
mayor,
my
name
is
stephen
boswell
and
I
represent
two
large
hotels
that
has
over
300
rooms,
and
I
also
represent
the
united
methodist
church
of
palm
springs.
That
was
very
successful
this
summer,
in
assisting
with
the
homeless
situation,
reducing
homeless
is
a
high
priority
of
the
city.
I
have
over
70
team
members
that
face
this
issue
on
a
daily
basis.
P
P
L
Some
of
these
folks
want
to
get
off
the
streets,
but
don't
have
the
knowledge
on
where
to
start
for
obtaining
housing,
medicare
and
medi-cal
subsidized
housing,
food
and
a
myriad
of
programs
available
to
them,
even
if
they
know
they
can
get
these
benefits.
The
online
requirements
to
apply
are
complex
and
time
consuming.
P
Hello,
thank
you,
council,
members
and
city
manager.
I
am
david
murphy,
a
member
of
the
community
partnership
on
homelessness,
commenting
on
agenda
item
5a,
which
relates
to
the
proposed
navigation
center.
P
P
Yes,
as
expected,
there
will
be
some
in
the
community
and
who
are
pushing
back
on
the
site
location.
This
is
not
an
oversight
or
an
overnight
homeless
shelter.
The
navigation
center,
as
proposed,
will
have
minimal
if
any
impact
on
the
surrounding
area,
while
providing
a
lifeline
to
people
suffering
on
the
street,
including
those
ravaged
by
substance,
addiction
and
mental
health
issues.
P
L
Yes,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
express
my
objection
to
the
location
only
of
the
homeless
accommodations.
L
My
objection
is
that
in
the
upcoming
area,
that
has
been
a
long
time
coming
like
the
villas
and
the
other
developments
around
it
is,
it
is
going
to
defer
a
real
estate
value
in
those
areas
on
the
positive
side
of
the
actual
location
is
that
it
has
some
merit
because
of
the
size
and
the
accommodation
for
so
many
people.
However,
I
felt
that
our
mayor's
husband
had
a
better
location
in
mind
because
of
the
distance
to
more
public
facilities
in
terms
of
shopping,
et
cetera
and
and
transportation.
L
B
B
P
This
is
without
involving
the
planning
commission
and
I
I
don't
know
what
the
hurry
is,
but
this
is
really
not
a
good
idea
for
this
city
and
maybe
at
least
we
should
have
a
a
straw
vote
for
the
people
you
know,
but
the
minimum
it
should
go
back
to
the
planning
campaign.
P
We
have
a
long
history
of
combating
major
projects
in
our
surroundings.
In
the
40s
we
had
a
cement
plant
that
was
going
to
go
in
that
people
fought
in
the
60s.
We
had
two.
He
finally
said
we're
going
to
be
built
and
we
stopped
and
then
even
10
years
ago
he
had
that
10
000
inmate
prison
that
was
supposed
to
go
in
there
at
the
same
time.
P
So
it
must
not
go
on
this.
New
people
are
not
elected
to
destroy
the
town,
but
to
protect
the
beauty
and
the
solitude
of
the
desert.
That
really
is
why
people
come
here,
so
I
really
urge
you
to
not
tonight
have
a
second
reading
on
this,
send
it
back
to
the
planning
commission,
where
it
should
be,
that's
why
we
have
a
planning
commission.
L
Thank
you,
and
before
I
start
I
just
I
need
to
make
some
corrections
to
some
outrageous
statements
were
made.
First
of
all,
the
person
selling
this
property
that
the
navigation
center
has
never
contributed
to
any
city
council,
member
and
homeless.
People
are
not
being
bussed
in
from
other
places
to
this
navigation
center,
and
also
you
can't
compare
it
to
roy's,
because
the
navigation
roy's
was
not
a
navigation
center,
although
it
started
out
trying
to
be
that,
but
it
was
a
homeless
shelter
which
is
an
overnight
facility.
L
This
navigation
center
is
not
an
overnight
facility
is
a
place
where
people
who
are
homeless
can
come.
They
will
live
there,
they
will
get
job
training,
they
will
get
mental
health
services,
they
will
get
all
the
services
that
they
need
to
to
get
themselves
established
in
a
job
and
in
permanent
housing.
I
live
in
the
neighborhood.
I
live
around
the
corner
from
this
property
and
I
am
the
major
in
favor
of
it.
You
people
don't
understand
that
low-income
housing
is
not
low-income.
Housing
is
being
made
to
sound
like
it's
a
bad
thing.
L
Low-Income
housing
is
for
people
who
are
working
and
working
in
jobs
which
are
not
paying
enough
for
them
to
go
into
regular
housing.
It's
families
and
it's
individuals
trying
to
exist
in
a
community,
that's
very
expensive
to
live
in.
We
have
several
low
income.
Housing
properties
in
this
city
that
operate
very
nicely.
Coyote
run
has
two
of
them
across
the
street
from
four
seasons
and
those
communities
live
in
harmony.
L
Now
about
the
navigation
center,
I
sent
you
all
an
email
which
I
don't
know
if
you
had
a
chance
to
read
it,
but
I
would
like
you
to,
but
I
just
like
to
to
say
a
couple
of
things
about
that
email.
I
I
know
you
had
that
the
contract
services
agreement
with
martha's
village
is
preliminary.
L
L
B
L
B
You
I'm,
madam
mayor,
that
does
conclude
public
comment.
We
did
attempt
to
reach
jeffrey
bernstein,
but
his
phone
is
going
straight
to
voicemail,
jerry
keller.
We've
tried
to
reach
three
times
and
dieter
crawford
has
withdrew
wanting
to
make
a
comment.
Thank
you.
A
I
want
to
thank
everyone
who
spoke.
We
know
how
critical
some
of
these
issues
are,
and
we
really
appreciate
hearing
from
you
madame.
B
B
I'm
sorry,
madame
mayor,
the
last
person
is
dan
fast,
but
his
phone
is
also
going
straight
to
voicemail
all
right.
Thank
you
calling
me
down.
Sorry.
P
P
Hi,
this
is
dan
fass,
chair
of
the
urban
code,
neighborhood
organization,
and
I
was
just
commenting
about
what
I
think
has
been
taken
off
of
the
current
council
agenda
item
1.0,
the
widening
of
our
rim,
road,
our
neighborhood
just
has
some
concerns
about
the
scope
of
the
project
and
we'd
like
to
really
consult
with
city
officials,
about
redefining
the
scope
of
it,
so
it
could
be
presented
in
an
alternative
format
at
another
time.
B
L
L
L
I've
also
had
a
chance
to
to
tour
martha's
village,
who
was,
I
believe,
started
by
father
joe's
center
and
they
are
an
excellent
facility.
I
had
a
few
suggestions,
as
the
council
goes
forward
with
this.
I
do
agree
with
jenny,
foates
comments
about
creating
a
citizens
committee
on
implementation
and
additional
services.
L
L
Well-Operated
facilities
get
very
few
complaints
and
I
think
in
the
future,
I
think
that
some
of
the
additional
services
that
would
be
important
to
provide
would
be
dental
people
who
are
homeless
often
have
teeth
issues
that
impede
their
self-confidence
when
they're
looking
for
jobs,
medical
services,
mental
health
and
thank
you,
but
thank
you
very
much.
I
I
do
hope
that
you
look
into
also
the
reporting
aspect
and
that
the
reports
back
to
the
council
on
a
regular
basis
that
gives
the
community
a
chance
to
comment.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time.
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
middleton,
mayor
product,
garner,
council,
members,
woods
course
and
hall
stage.
My
name
is
jeffrey
bernstein,
owner
of
destination
psp
and
a
candidate
for
palm
springs
city
council
district
2.,
I'm
commenting
on
agenda
item
5b,
and
I
urge
you
to
move
forward
with
the
five
points
of
discussion
regarding
the
navigation,
center
property
funding
and
contract
services.
H
With
an
issue
like
this,
there
is
no
ideal
situation
and
this
is
not
a
perfect
location.
However,
the
unhoused
population
of
palm
springs
is
in
a
crisis.
We
do
not
have
enough
beds,
housing
and
services,
and
we
need
those
as
soon
as
possible.
It's
a
top
priority
for
both
our
unhoused
and
housed
residents
and
businesses.
H
H
Most
importantly,
the
situation
offers
much
more
than
temporary
relief
from
life
on
the
streets.
The
navigation
center
will
provide
critical,
wrap
around
case
managers,
behavioral
health
service,
physical
health
services,
basic
needs,
a
transition
to
permanent
housing,
employment,
health
and
much
more
one
of
the
primary
concerns
in
the
area.
A
valid
one
given
past
experience
is
that
there
will
be
loitering
noise,
litter
and
other
disturbances,
parking
lots
and
adjoining
properties.
H
Martha's
village
is
contractually
obligated
to
provide
a
24,
7
security
and
ensure
there
is
no
disturbance
in
the
area.
The
navigation
center
will
not
solve
the
problem
and
we
they
very
well
need
additional
services
and
in
other
areas
of
the
city,
but
they
will
provide
much
needed
help
to
those
desperately
in
need.
We
have
the
opportunity
to
make
this
a
reality
within
a
year
if
we
move
forward
now.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
P

The
financing
is
excellent
from
federal
government
to
state
to
county
and
it's
a
perfect
solution
to
a
very
difficult
problem,
and
unless
we
have
this
again,
the
homeless
are
just
going
to
be
in
palm
springs
on
the
streets
and
there'll
be
no
way
to
help
them
get
off
the
streets
and
so
for
the
good
homeless.
People
who
do
want
to
make
their
lives
better
and
are
willing
to
work
for
it.
P
B
P
Evening,
mayor
and
council
members,
my
name
is
james,
green
and
I'm
the
new
chairman
of
the
genocide,
neighborhood
organization.
I
just
wanted
to
say
a
very
quick
thank
you
to
the
council,
in
particular
grace
connor
for
approving
item
1j,
the
sewer
sewer
improvements
in
our
neighborhood.
Our
residents
have
been
waiting
decades
for
this
to
happen,
and
I
know
they
are
thrilled
at
the
progress.
P
P
P
These
people
need
help
and
they
need
services,
and
we
complain
all
we
want
about
the
homeless
people
everywhere,
but
your
council,
together
with
the
county,
is
using
a
proven
solution
and
all
I'm
hearing
on
these
calls
is
people
say
we
didn't
study
this
enough
or
we
need
to
do.
Assessments,
assessments
and
studies
have
been
done
to
death.
P
Go
look
at
los
angeles,
go
look
at
sacramento,
where
their
only
solution
is
to
provide
places
for
people
to
pitch
tents.
Under
freeways.
Go
look
at
san
francisco
where,
for
years
all
they
did
was
figured
out
different
monetary
amounts
they
could
hand
out
to
people
and
somehow
hope
they
could
help
themselves.
P
So,
when
all
of
us
are
all
talking
collectively
about
the
homeless,
let's
think
about
who
these
people
are,
they
need
help,
they
need
services
granted.
Not
all
of
them
will
accept
that,
but
I
think
many
will
so.
I
urge
all
of
us
to
come
together,
support
our
council
and
get
this
navigation
center
up
and
running,
and
if
there
are
issues
we
can
figure
them
out
as
we
go
along.
B
A
I
Yes,
madam
mayor
members
of
the
council,
members
of
the
public,
the
city
council,
met
in
closed
session
earlier
tonight
to
discuss
the
items
that
are
listed
on
the
agenda.
They
discussed
those
items.
There
was
no
reportable
action.
I
should
note
that
the
council
did
not
discuss
the
property
negotiations
dealing
with
the
former
grant
properties.
Thank
you.
A
A
I
I
think
that
was
council
mayor
pro
tem
garner.
Yes,
all
right
roll
call,
please,
council,
member
woods.
B
I
Yes,
absolutely
madame,
madame
members
of
the
council,
this
item
is
an
mou
between
the
city
of
palm
springs
and
the
newly
formed
palm
springs.
Plaza
theater
foundation,
as
indicated
in
the
staff
report,
fundraising
began
back
in
2019
and
was
slowed
a
bit
when
covet
hit
in
2020.
I
Since
that
time,
the
group
of
local
residents,
mostly
led
by
former
council
member
j.r
roberts,
have
formed
a
non-profit
organization
called
the
palm
springs
plaza
foundation,
which
is
a
fundraising
foundation.
That's
going
to
leverage
the
energies
of
local
residents
to
help
raise
funds
for
the
restoration
of
the
plaza
theater.
I
I
It
provides
for
some
staff
report
to
the
foundation
some
seed
money
for
the
foundation
to
kind
of
get
started
and
then
delegate
some
responsibility
in
terms
of
naming
rights
and
fundraising
efforts
to
the
foundation.
A
number
of
cities
enter
into
these
types
of
mou's
with
non-profit
foundations
in
order
to
kind
of
leverage.
The
the
fundraising
power
of
private
organizations,
so
that's
what
this
item
is.
If
you
have
any
questions,
I'm
certainly
available
to
answer
any
of
those.
N
Thank
you,
city
attorney,
and
I
pulled
this
item.
I
support
this
project.
I
think
the
rehabilitation
of
the
plaza
theater
to
its
original
splendor
is
a
priority
and
really
important
for
the
city,
an
important
economic
development
project,
and
I
appreciate
us
using
seed
money
or
transferring
seed
money,
and
I
support
the
mou.
N
I
just
had
an
additional
point
I
wanted
to
raise,
which
is
that
I
think
the
city
should
support
this
organization,
either
in
hiring
consultants
that
we
may
need
or
that
they
may
need
to
do
this
project
at
this
level,
really
applaud
former
council
member
j.r
roberts
and
all
of
the
donors
and
members
of
the
public
who
are
involved
in
this
effort.
N
I
know
other
cities
have
done
work
like
the
arlington,
theater
and
state
street
in
downtown
santa
barbara
is
you
know,
really
high
level
projects
that
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
they
have
support
on.
So
I
know
that
we
can't
include
that
probably
in
this
item-
city
attorney
or
city
manager-
but
I
just
wanted
to
flag
for
the
council
and
see
if
there
might
be
support
for
I
know
I've
talked
to
council
member
roberts
that
there
might
be
a
need
for
pr
or
marketing
support
to
help.
N
You
know
increase
the
the
brand
of
the
plaza
theater
and
I
think
that
there
might
be
technical
support
that
might
be
beneficial
like
hiring
the
consultants
that
did
the
arlington
or
similar
projects.
J
Great
thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
council
member
hostage
and
we
can't
really
deliberate
on
this
piece
of
it,
but
I
serve
in
the
liaison.
So
I'm
going
to
their
committee
meetings
and
I
joined
the
fundraising
committee
sort
of
to
assist
in
that
area,
and
so
this,
what
exactly
is
needed
is
going
to
be
discussed
at
the
next
meeting
and
at
that
point
we
can
bring
it
forward
to
the
city
manager
to
see
about
bringing
something
to
council
for
the
kind
of
fundraising
support.
J
You
talked
about
to
help
them
really
get
that
expertise.
There
are
folks
working
on
research
and
grant
writing
and
major
donor
ass,
but
I
think
there
is
need
for
more
than
that.
I
And
I,
and
I
will
point
out
that
staff
in
the
city
attorney's
office
anticipate
bringing
forward
a
a
donation
agreement
that
we're
negotiating
with
mr
lee
right
now,
so
there
will
be
other
opportunities
for
us
to
bring
forward
other
agenda
items.
Maybe
mr
clifton
might
want
to
weigh
in
on
the
financial
aspects
of
this
particular
question.
M
Sure,
thank
you,
mayor
and
council
I'll
just
add
briefly
that
the
mou
contemplating
a
little
bit
of
that
seed,
money
and
ongoing
support.
As
these
fundraising
efforts,
progress
is
meant
to
provide
some
of
those
resources,
but
that
said,
nothing
in
that
mou
would
preclude
us
from
moving
even
immediately
to
providing
additional
technical
support.
If
that's
what
council
thinks
is
warranted
here,
so
I
do
think
it's
probably
a
good
course
of
action
to
tie
this
up.
Let
the
committee
meet
establish
some
next
steps
and
then
perhaps
bring
back
a
decision
to
counsel.
N
N
I'm
not
asking
that
today.
I
definitely
support
the
committee
making
that
decision,
and
I
would
also
I
had
three
items
so
the
technical
support
on
the
preservation
side
or
other
technical
support.
You
know
for
programming,
et
cetera,
the
pr
and
marketing
support
and
then
third,
I
think
the
city's
role
might
be
really
helpful
in
finding
state
dollars
for
cultural
resources
like
this
or
other
federal
dollars.
So
I'd
love
to
see
us
support
this
project
more
than
just
you
know,
signing
this
check.
That
is
small
in
comparison
to
the
the
needs
of
the
project.
A
Thank
you.
We
will
now
move
on
to
item
one
oh,
and
this
was
one
that
the
city
manager
asked
for
us
to
pull
for
separate
discussion,
city
manager,
clifton.
M
Thank
you
very
much
mayor
and
council
just
notice
that
it
might
be
a
little
premature
to
put
this
contract
just
on
the
consent
agenda
without
first
discussing
the
approach.
So
this
is
the
the
agenda.
Item
itself
is
to
authorize
roughly
310
000
to
enter
into
a
contract
for
preliminary
engineering
and
environmental
design
services
for
the
rim,
road
widening
project.
So
there
had
been
some
previous
direction
from
council
to
do
some
feasibility
work.
M
Staff's
assessment
was
really
that
it
requires
a
certain
level
of
sophisticated
preliminary
design
to
really
articulate
costs.
But
you
heard
a
caller
even
earlier
this
evening
say
that
maybe
there
are
some
other
ways
to
fulfill
the
direction
of
vetting
this
project
and
not
take
the
step
as
significant
as
this
three
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollar
contract.
So
I'd
like
for
joelle
to
perhaps
expand
a
little
bit
on
the
approach
here.
Make
sure
council
understands
what
this
contract
endeavors
to
do
and
what
other
options
might
be
available
to
progress
with
this
project.
H
Absolutely
thank
you
good
evening,
I'm
madam
mayor
and
members
of
city
council.
So
what
this
contract
is
is
slated
to
do
is
to
get
our
on-call
consultant
web
to
review
the
existing
condition
of
rim,
road
review,
the
right-of-way
situation,
essentially,
rim
road
passes
through
portions
of
private
property
and
it's
technically
only
an
emergency
access,
and
it's
called
the
city
to
enter
and
exit
out
of
that
area
as
emergency
actives.
H
Only
the
the
condition
of
rim
road
has
deteriorated
over
time
and
we
have
not
been
able
to
maintain
it
to
the
city
standards
that
we
would
like,
because,
especially
through
the
private
property
area,
so
one
of
the
things
that
rimroad
isn't
is
it's
not
very
wide.
The
the
width
varies
between
12
and
24
26
feet,
and
if
we're
going
to
look
at
bringing
rim
road
to
an
actual
city
standard
which
is
typically
about
28
feet
wide,
that
would
really
push
you
know
in
two
directions:
either
towards
the
mountain
or
towards
the
wash.
H
So,
in
order
to
evaluate
that,
we
really
need
to
do
environmental
design
to
look
at
what
the
cost
would
be,
whether
the
implications
would
be
of
moving
into
the
wash
essentially
going
into
the
casey's
june
beetle
habitat
or
if
we
move
towards
the
mountain.
What
would
that
entail?
So
staff
at
this
juncture
doesn't
have
the
ability
to
give
good
pricing
for
whatever
those
costs
would
be
so
to
spend
the
money.
H
The
300
000
is
really
to
get
to
the
point
where
we
have
the
ability
to
look
at
different
design
parameters,
different
criteria,
look
at
different
alternatives
and
also
be
able
to
to
pursue
and
look
at
the
private
property.
What
the
cost
would
be
for
the
private
property
and
also
to
be
able
to
make
decisions
on
or
understand
what
the
environmental
impacts
of
the
of
the
future
whitening
would
be.
H
So,
in
a
nutshell,
that's
sort
of
what
the
the
contract
is
for,
and
I
I'd
have
to
answer
additional
questions
or
elaborate
on
on
any
other
of
what
I
just
mentioned.
A
Are
there
questions
for
staff,
yes,
council
member
course.
J
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
joe.
Do
you
have
a
range
of
what
I
I
was
surprised
when
I
saw
this
since
you
know
we
hadn't
really
gotten
gotten
this
far.
I
thought
on
on
this
effort,
and
so
do
you
have
a
range
of
what
the
widening
with
buying
the
properties
to
make
this
all
public
would
be.
Am
I
understanding
it
we're
thinking
in
the
10
million
range?
Not
an
exact
number.
Is
that
roughly
correct?
Well.
H
Yeah
really
yeah,
no
so
yeah
one
of
the
things
we
did
back
in
2019.
We
put
this
very
the
same
proposal
out
for
consultants
and
the
10
million
dollars
came
from
one
of
the
consultants.
That
said,
you
know
we
roughly
believe
it'll
be
an
estimated
10
million
dollars,
depending
on
which,
which
way
we
go
right.
H
If
you
put
a
lot
of
retaining
walls
to
the
cost,
goes
up
so
yeah,
really
we're
looking
at
a
magnitude
of
you
know,
between
five
to
ten
million,
really,
depending
on
what
the
extent
of
the
design
is
and
and
what
I
post
to
my
consultants
now
is
like.
Can
you
give
me
that
information,
and
they
said
really,
we
can't
give
you
an
accurate
number
until
we
go
through
this
process,
because
there's
so
many
variables
so
yeah?
Indeed,
this
is
just
very
preliminary
engineering.
H
This
is
right
away,
acquisition,
review,
appraisals,
environmental
and
to
come
up
with
the
number
and
give
you
give
counsel
a
better
idea
of
what
the
true
costs
are
going
to
be.
J
It's
one
of
my
questions,
which
I
don't
really
have
in
the
staff
report,
is
if
this
turns
out
to
be
five
or
ten
million
dollars.
Is
this
our
highest
priority
right
now?
Are
there
other
priorities
that
would
come?
J
First,
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
why
this
is
now,
as
you
know,
we're
trying
as
a
council
to
prioritize
like
what
we're
working
on
what
we're
spending
money
on,
and
so
I
just
don't
want
to
spend
300
over
300
000
on
something
if
the
general
thought
is
the
cost
of
something
we
might
not
want
to
do
right
now.
So
that's
where
I'm
a
little
confused
right.
J
The
only
conversations
I
remember
about
this
was
to
maybe
spend
25
30
max
to
get
a
general
survey
and
appraisals,
so
that
information
seems
to
be
missing
and
then
I
think,
as
I
recall,
there
are
a
whole
bunch
of
legal
liability
issues
tied
here,
which
I
really
can't
discuss.
Ask
the
city
man.
The
city
attorney
talked
about
now
that
I'd
really
want
to
be
briefed
on
as
a
council
before
spending
this
money.
J
So
we
know
that
this
project
could
actually
move
forward
and
that
we'd
want
it
to
move
forward
before
we
spend
the
money.
So
my
preference
is,
we
maybe
wait
a
meeting,
be
able
to
talk
about
the
legal
issues
in
closed
session
and
also
get
your
sense
of.
Is
this
a
high
priority
compared
to
other
priorities
for
that
kind
of
money?
J
G
All
right
joel,
thank
you
very
much.
What
is
the
purpose
of
the
project?
What's
our?
What
what's
the
outcome
that
we
want
to
achieve
and
who's
driving
that
outcome.
H
So
in
the
staff
report
I
do
mention
that
back
in
2011
staff
was
successful
in
receiving
or
applying
for
and
receiving
federal
funds
to
build
a
bridge
across
arabic
drive,
which
is
the
official
road
into
the
aerospace
neighborhood.
For
some
reason,
the
community
didn't
want
that
bridge
and
council
decided
that
we're
not
going
to
move
forward
with
it
and
the
funds
were
de-obligated
so
from
there
to
today.
H
I
guess
in
an
emergency
situation
right
now
they
can,
but
it
is
sort
of
narrow
and
it's
at
some
point.
You
have
to
one
vehicle
at
a
time.
Essentially
so.
E
G
So
I
would
like
to
echo
the
sentiments
of
council
member
coors
you
what
we
just
received
discount
as
this
meeting
started,
a
representative
of
the
neighborhood
thinking
that
it
might
be
a
larger
scope.
I
don't
know
if
everyone
had
a
chance
to
review
it,
joel,
I'm
sure
you
didn't
get
it.
I
think
it
went
to
council
saying
that
it
there
might
have
been.
This
may
be
more
than
what
they
were
looking
for.
G
So
if
we
do
postpone
it,
it
gives
us
a
chance
to
touch
base
with
the
neighborhood,
as
well
as
discuss
some
of
the
issues
that
council
member
coors
talked
about,
so
I
would
suggest
to
table
it
or
bring
it
back
to
us
unless
there's
a
timing
problem,
we
should
be
concerned
about
joe,
not
from
my
perspective,
no
okay.
So
I'd
make
that
motion.
N
Thank
you
I'll.
Second,
the
motion
to
table
it
to
a
date
uncertain
with
direction
to
communicate
with
the
neighborhood
organization,
and
I
also
just
wanted
to
ask
about
federal
infrastructure
dollars
now
that
there
are
a
lot
of
dollars
coming
in
for
infrastructure
projects.
It's
really
too
bad.
This
is
such
a
sad
story
that
city
staff
had
found
10
million
dollars
for
a
bridge
project
and
then
that
wasn't
supported
and
then
that
money
was
no
longer
available,
but
I'm
wondering
if
we
could
use
our
consultants
to
find
if
there
might
be
new
federal
funding
available.
N
A
I
will
be
voting
to
support
this
as
well,
and
I
think
we
do
need
to
take
a
bit
more
time
and
definitely
consult
with
the
neighborhood,
but
it
would
remind
everyone
that,
following
the
saint
valentine's
day,
flooding
that
we
went
months
with
arabi
drive
closed
to
through
traffic
and
during
that
time,
access
for
a
regular
fire
truck
was
was
essentially
not
available.
A
L
B
I
think
you
said
yes,
yes
and
mayor.
Middleton
motion
passes
five
to
zero.
A
All
right
with
that,
we
have
completed
the
consent
agenda
and,
as
we
noted
earlier
upon
the
completion
of
the
consent
agenda,
we
are
going
to
move
forward
to
item
5a
regarding
the
navigation
center.
Once
you.
C
A
I
would
do
council
comments
following
completion
of
the
navigation
center.
We'll
come
right
back
to
that
that
item.
A
So
with
that,
could
we
get
a
staff
report
on
item
5a.
M
This
good
evening,
mayor
mayor,
potem
and
city
council,
I'll
get
us
started
tonight,
but
we
have
a
couple
people
that
will
present
information
and
then
some
additional
guests
that
can
help
answer
some
questions.
So,
as
you
know,
this
navigation
center
is
really
about
addressing
the
crisis
of
our
unhoused
population
in
palm
springs.
That
has
been
a
growing
issue
over
the
last
many
years
as
it
has
been
across
the
country
and
across
california.
You
heard
some
anecdotes
earlier
this
evening
about
how
that
manifests.
M
We've
had
struggles
with
some
of
our
local
parks.
We've
had
members
of
the
public,
in
some
cases,
accosted
sometimes
individuals
that
are
either
mentally
ill
or
struggle
with
substance
abuse
or
both
our
police
officers
and
service
providers
do
the
best
they
can
with
the
handful
of
tools
that
we
currently
have
in
the
toolbox,
but
mostly
what
we're
doing
is
moving
people
around
the
community
so
with
an
encampment
or
a
problem
grows
to
the
size
that
it
generates
numerous
complaints.
M
We
attempt
to
intervene,
but
have
really
one
huge
missing
tool
in
the
toolbox,
and
that
is
a
place
where
our
unhoused
population
can
go
to
not
only
receive
housing
but
all
of
the
wraparound
services
that
might
help
them
transcend
that
circumstance.
So
the
navigation
center
is
really
attempting
to
do
that.
M
It
was
mentioned
briefly,
but
it's
worth
reiterating
that
one
of
the
other
challenges
we
have
when
we
don't
provide
that
bed
space
and
the
housing
is
that
we're
subject
to
a
ninth
circuit
court
decision
that
basically
says
we
can't
criminalize
homelessness
by
having
no
camping
ordinances
and
other
similar
ordinances.
So
the
the
double
advantage
we
get.
I
think
with
the
navigation
center
is
not
only
does
it
provide
the
full
suite
of
wrap-around
services
to
help
people
improve
their.
You
know
lot
in
life,
find
housing
help
with
addiction,
etc,
etc.
M
But
it
also
enables
us
to
be
more
assertive
with
any
members
of
that
unhoused
population
that
really
refuse
services
and
and
simply
don't
want
help
after
numerous
attempts
to
provide
it.
So
so
that
tool
is
really
important
and
I
want
to
emphasize
that
point
staff
had
committed
a
number
of
months
to
looking
for
parcels
that
would
be
appropriate
for
this
kind
of
facility
and
it
is
difficult
because
it
can
take
a
somewhat
of
a
large
footprint.
M
Some
of
the
comments
that
were
made
about
access
and
proximity
are
all
valid,
so
city
staff
attempted
to
find
good
opportunities
for
a
number
of
months
examined
a
handful
of
parcels
and
ultimately
was
presented
with
an
opportunity
to
acquire
a
purchase
agreement
at
3589,
mccarthy
road.
So
there
might
be
some
confusion
because
that
contract
there
was
a
contract
to
buy
that
parcel
by
fred
noble,
and
I
think
there
was
some
conversation
about
campaign
contributions
and
other
things
that
I
I
don't
know
all
the
ins
and
outs.
M
But
I
want
to
emphasize
that
fred
noble
offered
for
the
city
to
acquire
that
contract
at
no
cost,
so
essentially
no
financial
gain
whatsoever.
There
may
be
some
confusion
that
he
might
have
been
the
seller
of
the
parcel
and
he
wasn't.
He
was
an
original
buyer
of
the
parcel,
but
was
willing
to
convey
that
purchase
agreement
to
the
city
at
that
time,
staff
again
presented
a
number
of
alternatives
and
was
fairly
exhaustive
in
that
effort.
M
In
fact,
during
that
first
november,
meeting
council
had
directed
to
look
at
a
couple
of
other
opportunities
that
we
had
not
looked
into
as
deeply
staff
came
back
with
some
additional
analysis,
but
still
concluded
that
the
mccarthy
property
really
was
ideal.
When
looking
at
this
holistically,
it's
not
perfect.
Certainly
if
we
were
able
to
just
invent
a
circumstance,
I
think
we,
we
might
look
for
a
few
things
that
are
different,
but
looking
completely
at
time
and
cost
to
build
location
and
everything
else
involved.
M
We
did
conclude
that
this
was
really
by
far
the
best
parcel
we
had
available.
I
want
to
emphasize
that
not
only
is
the
opportunity
to
acquire
this
purchase
agreement
somewhat
unique,
but
the
money
that's
on
the
table
now
is
also
unique,
so
the
county
has
offered
to
partner
with
the
city
provide
some
of
its
arpa
funds.
At
the
same
time,
the
state
has
allocated
substantial
new
monies
to
homelessness
in
the
form
of
funky
two
and
likely
other
programs
that
we
can
take
advantage
of
now.
M
So
what
we're
here
to
do
this
evening
is
to
execute
and
give
direction
to
staff
to
execute
a
number
of
agreements
that
will
keep
this
moving
forward,
the
most
important
of
which,
of
course,
is
the
mou
with
the
county
that
sets
the
the
basic
parameters
of
the
partnership
between
the
city
and
the
county.
There
was
a
reference
in
your
staff
report
to
a
a
acquisition
and
sale
agreement.
M
That
was
not
provided
to
you,
because
we
were
still
in
the
process
of
negotiating
that
instrument
with
the
county.
It's
actually
now
called
a
loan
agreement.
They've
wanted
to
structure
things
a
little
more
like
a
template
that
they
use
in
other
instances,
I'll
ask
jeff
ballinger
to
kind
of
review
those
two
documents
here
in
a
moment,
and
then
we
also
have
a
contract
services
agreement
with
martha's,
village
and
kitchen.
That
is
the
result
of
a
request
for
proposals
for
service
providers.
M
It
was
important
to
us
to
put
all
the
key
components
of
this
partnership
together
so
that
we
can
move
forward
in
earnest
with
the
next
phases
of
planning
and
design.
Certainly,
that
includes
engagement
with
the
community.
We
did
want
to
get
a
provider
on
board,
because
so
many
of
the
questions
have
to
do
with
how
these
wrap-around
services
will
be
offered
and
how
negative
impacts
will
be
mitigated.
M
I
wouldn't
ever
want
to
over
promise
and
under
deliver,
but
I
think
a
recent
anecdote
is
worth
highlighting
and
that
is
the
access
center
in
palm
springs.
At
the
old
boxing
club
on
el
cielo,
as
city
council
knows,
there
was
a
strong
desire
to
relocate
services
that
were
previously
held
in
another
area
of
town
on
cayenne,
cilia
near
barista
park
and
also
improve
the
secondary
impacts
that
were
being
experienced
in
that
area.
At
that
time
too,
we
didn't
have
a
lot
of
details.
M
We
knew
that
there
was
a
strong
impetus
to
make
this
move,
but
we
didn't
know
exactly
how
we
were
going
to
improve
or
where
these
services
were
going
to
be
relocated
to.
We
went
through
a
similar
process
in
that
case
identified
the
old
boxing
club,
which
is
directly
near
city
hall,
the
police
station,
the
airport
and
a
county
building.
We
heard
a
lot
of
the
same
concerns.
M
We
didn't
have
a
lot
of
details
on
who
exactly
was
going
to
operate
that
facility
or
how
it
was
going
to
be
operated,
but
we
had
very
strong
conviction
and
direction
from
council
to
work
hard
to
improve
upon
the
situation
that
we
had
seen
previously
at
the
older
location,
and
I
think
I
think
a
review
of
that
would
suggest.
We've
been
successful,
martha's,
village
and
kitchen
came
to
partner
with
the
city
we
sat
down.
We
negotiated
a
much
stronger
service
agreement.
M
I
believe,
linda
barack,
is
here
to
discuss
some
of
the
the
details
for
what
it
might
look
like
to
operate
a
navigation
center,
but
I'm
sure
she
could
also
speak
to
the
numbers
of
that
facility.
The
last
report
I
saw
suggests
over
500,
unduplicated
individuals
have
been
seen,
and
I
have
regular
reports
with
the
air
commission,
airport,
commission
and
others
where
all
I
can
say
is
status
quo.
We
still
haven't
seen
the
increase
in
negative,
secondary
impacts
that
that
people
were
worried
about
that
took
concerted
effort.
M
But
but
the
point
is,
it
was
a
very
analogous
situation.
We
didn't
know
exactly
the
details,
but
we
were
committed
to
make
it
better
and
to
make
it
work,
and
I
believe
we've
done
that
and
I
think
we
can
again
in
large
part,
because
we
have
that
same
quality
partner
proposed
to
be
our
service
provider
of
this
navigation
center.
M
So
what
I'd
like
to
do?
I
know
there
are
a
lot
of
questions
that
I
want
to
get
into
some
of.
What's
been,
that
the
concerns
expressed
by
residents
and
members
of
the
public
maybe
talk
about
some
of
the
misperception
or
misinformation
that's
out
there.
But
I
want
to
focus
you
in
also
on
the
action
for
this
evening,
which
would
be
to
approve
the
documents
we
presented
to
you.
Give
direction
to
execute
those
and
this
loan
agreement.
M
We
also
have
greg
rodriguez
here
with
representing
the
county
representatives
of
lasar
they're,
our
consultant
team,
that
are
experts
in
housing
and
homeless
issues,
and
we
also,
I
believe,
have
linda
brecht
with
martha's,
village
and
kitchen.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
people
here
to
answer
your
questions,
I'm
probably
the
least
expert
in
the
room.
I
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
clifton
mayor
members
of
the
city
council.
The
two
agreements
that
all
kind
of
cover
are
the
two
agreements
that
the
city
is
proposing
to
enter
into
with
the
county.
The
first
is
the
mou.
The
second
is
the
loan
agreement.
The
mou
basically
sets
forth
the
broad
parameters
of
our
proposed
relationship
with
the
county.
It
contemplates
that
we
will
acquire
the
property.
The
city
will
take
title
to
the
to
the
mccarthy
property
and
the
county
will
fund
5.7
million
dollars
of
that
purchase
price
through
arpa
funds.
I
It
bears
noting
that
these
arpa
funds
have
a
broad
array
of
uses,
not
just
homeless
navigation,
centers,
but
also
economic
development,
infrastructure,
child
care
infrastructure,
targeted
infrastructure
to
address
poverty
and
invest
in
minority
communities.
So,
although
the
the
current
use
of
the
the
property
is
being
proposed
as
a
navigation
center,
those
arpa
funds
do
have
a
a
wide
variety
of
other
community
benefits.
I
That's
the
mou.
The
second
agreement
is
the
county
loan
agreement,
and
this
is,
as
mr
clifton
indicated,
is
an
agreement
that
the
county
uses
when
partnering
and
distributing
public
funds
for
activities
and
projects
such
as
this.
Under
the
loan
agreement,
the
county
will
loan
to
the
city,
5.7
million
four
hundred
thousand
dollars,
I'm
sorry,
forty
thousand
dollars
in
order
to
purchase
the
the
property.
The
county
will
also
provide
another
one
million
two
hundred
and
sixty
thousand
dollars
to
go
toward
either
the
improvement
or
the
operation
of
the
navigation
center.
I
Under
the
loan
agreement,
the
the
five
million
seven
hundred
forty
thousand
dollars
is
structured
as
a
loan.
However,
that
loan
does
not
bear
any
interest
or
have
any
monthly
payments.
It's
in
fact,
a
forgivable
loan
that
is
forgiven
once
the
city
provides
the
services
and
the
term
of
that
agreement
is
55
years
it.
I
It
also
bears
noting
that
the
loan
is
a
non-recourse
loan,
so
if
the
city
ever
decides
to
either
for
some
reason,
stop
operating
the
navigation
center
at
this
site,
move
it
to
another
site
or
not
provide
other
arpa
related
activities
at
this
site,
then
the
property
would
revert
back
to
the
county.
Although
the
city
doesn't
answer
that
happening,
it
is
provided
for
under
the
under
the
loan
agreement.
I
The
loan
agreement
also
contains
certain
milestones,
the
first
of
which
is
the
acquisition
of
the
property
which
is
to
occur
by
march
1st
2022.
The
city
is
actually
scheduled
to
close
on
the
property.
Should
the
council
approve
the
agreement
before
then?
The
next
deadline
is
to
start
construction
of
the
project,
which
is
scheduled
for
january
1st
of
2023.
I
The
next
milestone
is
completion
of
the
navigation
center,
which
is
scheduled
for
january
25th,
2024
and
then
having
the
navigation
center
open
to
the
public
in
february
2024..
Obviously
those
are
outside
dates,
and
it's
everybody's
hope
and
expectation
that
we
can
get
that
done
well
before
that.
But
those
are
the
dates
that
have
been
provided
to
the
city
as
kind
of
outside
dates.
So
that
covers
the
two
agreements:
the
mou
and
the
loan
agreement
between
the
city
and
the
county.
I
I'll
turn
it
over
to
jay
and
and
mr
clifton
to
cover
the
mou
with
martha's
village.
Q
Thank
you,
mr
city
attorney,
madam
mayor
mayor
pro
tem
and
council.
It
was
important
to
get
a
service
provider
on
board
as
early
as
possible
to
participate
in
the
design
and
operations
planning
of
the
navigation
center.
We
really
wanted
to
get
a
good
sense
from
an
actual
provider
as
to
what
would
be
needed
and
how
the
facility
should
be
laid
out
if
there
were
any
more
opportune
strategies
for
how
the
facility
was
designed.
Q
So
to
do
so,
we
issued
a
request
for
letters
of
interest
in
december
for
service
providers
for
this
navigation
center
and
as
a
result,
we
received
the
proposal
from
martha's,
village
and
kitchen
and
martha's
proposes
to
operate
and
manage
the
navigation
center,
which
will
have
approximately
80
beds
and
will
provide
access
to
a
variety
of
behavioral
health
services,
social
services,
medical
and
dental
services
and
workforce
development.
Q
Martha's
does
have
over
three
decades
of
experience
serving
homeless
individuals
and
over
two
decades
of
experience,
housing,
homeless,
individuals
and
they
currently
operate,
as
has
been
mentioned,
a
120-bed
residential
facility,
and
they
provide
career
preparation
and
education.
So
this
organization
has
been
doing
this
type
of
work
for
a
very
long
time
and
they've
been
doing
it
quite
successfully.
Q
Martha's
is
also
the
only
non-profit
that
is
certified
by
the
state
to
provide
workforce
development
services
in
the
coachella
valley
and
as
a
state
licensed
child
care
facility.
So
what
that
does
is
open
up
more
opportunities
for
programming
and
funding
at
this
facility
to
assist
the
individuals
that
the
residents
that
may
be
using
the
services
there,
and
it
should
be
noted
that
85
of
the
existing
clients
of
martha's
have
moved
directly
from
homeless
housing
into
permanent
housing.
They
have
an
85
percent
success
rate.
Q
100
percent
of
their
clients
had
basic
needs
met
on
their
paths
to
self-sufficiency,
so
everyone
is
receiving
the
services
that
steps
a
foot
into
a
martha's
facility,
and
seventy
percent
of
the
individuals
that
completed
martha's
employment
program
obtained
work
so
again,
very
effective.
Seventy
percent
is
as
a
admirable
accomplishment.
Q
As
I
mentioned,
the
services
to
be
provided
will
be
managing
the
80
bed
facility
case
management
will
be
provided
at
a
ratio
of
eight
to
one.
Your
staff
report
says
20
to
one,
but
we
have
since
discussed
with
ms
barack
and
she
informs
us
she.
You
know
the
acuity
level
of
the
individuals
may
require
more
attention,
and
so
she
highly
recommended
increasing
that
to
eight
to
one
a
very
strong
ratio
of
assistance
to
individuals.
Q
They
will
be
assisting
individuals
to
obtain
permanent
housing,
supportive
housing,
shelter
and
other
program
placement
if
needed,
should
also
mention
that
martha's
will
be
providing
regular
reports.
This
is
a
requirement
in
their
agreement,
and
I
can
tell
you
from
the
current
operations
at
the
palm
springs
access
center.
Q
We
do
receive
very
detailed
monthly
reports
from
martha's
village
and
kitchen
they're
also
required
to
conduct
quarterly
forums,
and
these
will
be
with
businesses
residents
by
any
stakeholders
in
the
community
that
want
to
chime
in
and
voice
any
concerns,
any
support
just
to
see
just
a
touch
base
with
the
community
to
make
sure
the
operations
are
not
having
a
negative
impact,
and
these
can
be
formalized
to
possibly
a
formal
working
group.
Should
the
council
request-
and
I
should
also
mention
a
24
hour
a
day
seven
day
a
week.
Q
So
I
do
want
to
mention
a
couple
other
changes
from
the
draft
agreement
you
have
in
your
report.
One
is
that
the
case
management
follow-up
was
listed
to
be
at
12
months,
it's
being
recommended
by
martha's
to
be
at
six
months
and
we
believe
that's
okay
and
the
city
will
be
the
entity
responsible
for
providing
computers,
service
servers
and
security
cameras
to
the
facility,
which
would
be
acquired
by
using
the
funds
from
the
home
key
2
application,
assuming
we'll
be
successful
in
that
application.
Q
So
and
again
the
ratio
of
client
to
counselor
case
manager
from
one
to
twenty
as
to
one
to
eight,
and
we
have
linda
barack
here
from
martha's
village
and
others
who
may
be
able
to
answer
any
other
questions
you
may
have.
Madam
mayor
mayor
pro
town
and
council.
Thank
you.
A
Great,
thank
you.
I'm
going
to
give
everyone
on
council
plenty
of
opportunity
to
ask
questions
who
would
like
to
begin.
G
I
can
be
out
of
the
gate
first,
although
I
am
sure
that
my
counterpart
mayor
pro
tem
garner,
has
a
lot
to
add
to
this
conversation,
but
I'll
start
it
off
one
of
the
top
priorities
that
I
have
heard
from
my
residents
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
campaigned
on
was
to
help
with
the
homeless
issue
and
it
in
my
short
two
years
on
council.
G
G
However,
I
want
to
ask
a
series
of
questions
that
actually
come
from
my
constituents
that
are
concerned
about
impacts
and
location,
and
so
I'll
start
off
by
first
asking
aj,
you
said
it,
but
can
you
repeat
it
there
will
be
part
of
the
agreement
includes
like
a
citizens.
Advisory
committee
is
that
right.
Q
It
is
a
quarterly
forum
currently,
as
stated
in
the
agreement
and
and
that
would
include
business
individuals,
police
residents,
that
would
it
would
be
open
to
the
public.
G
Okay,
I
personally
would
like
to
see
that
strengthened
to
more
of
a
standing
committee
where
people
are
appointed,
but
then
other
people
can
come
and
attend
meetings
so
linda.
I
want
to
ask
you:
you
have
a
board
of
directors
and
is
that
for
the
overall
organization
or
for
each
location.
R
It's
for
the
overall
organization,
so
we
actually
about
two
weeks
ago
brought
two
new
board
members.
Well,
actually,
we
brought
four
two
are
from
the
west.
We
want
the
western
end
of
the
valley
to
be
heard
and
to
have
a
voice
and
a
vote
on
our
board.
And,
yes,
we
do
have
a
board,
but
we
sit
as
one
entity
because
our
mission
we
hold
to
our
mission
in
all
locations
and
basically
we
are
tasked
with
the
outcomes
for
the
clients
first.
R
So
if
we
have
one
board,
it
will
not
be
split
because
homelessness
is
kind
of
universal,
but
we
are
engaging
people
from
the
west
to
become
a
part
of
our
board.
So.
G
Linda
you
know
to
follow
up
with
the
questions
that
I
just
asked
of
staff
member.
I
think
I
think,
for
the
neighbors.
Quarterly
meetings
may
not
be
sufficient,
because
it's
kind
of
reactive
versus
proactive
right
right,
oh
and
some
other
nonprofits
that
exist
in
in
that
neighborhood,
which
is
adjacent
to
this.
They.
P
G
On
a
on
a
board
to
get
the
information
in
the
decision
making
up
front
now,
I
know
your
board
is-
is
probably
full.
How
can
we
realize
that
at
this
center,
so
it's
more
proactive
versus
reactive.
R
Well,
you
know
I've
been
involved
in
a
lot
of
openings
of
different
programs
and
different
areas
throughout
the
valley.
I
know
when
we
had
the
warm
weather
shelter
at
the
methodist
church.
We
were
brand
new
and
boy.
Was
that
a
quick
whirlwind
of
a
thing
that
was
a
10
day?
Well,
we
went
into
the
neighborhood
and
left
our
business
cards
with
our
phone
numbers
and
we
have
staff
that
are
available
24
hours
a
day
and
we
respond.
R
We
are
good
neighbors
if
nothing
else
we're
good
we're
here
for
the
community.
You
know
the
homeless
are
part
of
the
community
and
we
are
here
for
the
community.
So
are
we
proactive?
Yes,
I
have
been
out
there
myself,
handing
out
my
business
cards
and
telling
them
at
any
time
should
they
have
any
concerns.
We're
there
we're
there
24
7.
they're,
going
to
get
somebody
24
7,
that's
going
to
talk
to
them.
R
If
it's
not
a
martha's
village
or
navigation
center
issue,
then
we
have
a
good
relationship
with
the
police
or
code
enforcement
or
whatever
it
may
be.
That
is
the
actually
actually
the
needed
entity
to
help
out
the
individual
with
their
concerns,
but
I
do
believe
that
it
should
be
somewhat
structured,
but
sometimes,
if
you
get
it
too
structured,
you
don't
get
people
attending
and
feeling
like
they
can
speak
right.
R
So
I
think
that's
something
open
for
discussion,
we're
on
board
with
direction
and
we
tend
to
go
over
and
above
what
we're
called
on
to
do.
So
if
we
can
have
ideas,
you
know
I
think,
ideas,
a
group
of
ideas,
not
my
idea
or
justin's
idea
and
not
just
greg's
idea,
but
everybody's
kind
of
input.
We
can
come
up
with
something
that'll
work.
G
Okay,
so
we've
already
got
it
in
the
proposed
contract
before
us.
I
just
want
to
strengthen
it
to
what
I
said
earlier
today
to
make
it
work,
maybe
structured,
but
allow
what
linda's
talking
about
more
interaction
from
neighbors
and
whatnot,
but
we
definitely
need
to
have
that
happen.
One
of
the
things
that
we've
heard
is
that
we're
quote
unquote.
G
I
I
don't
agree
with
this
word,
but
we've
heard
it
that
we're
dumping
this
center
into
an
area
that
is
already
experiencing
problems
and
I'm
wondering
if
our
city
manager
couldn't
address
that
and
talk
about
two
things
with
that.
One
is:
are
we
dumping
and
then?
Secondly,
we
have
services
throughout
the
city
that
people
probably
don't
even
realize
exist
throughout
our
city
and
jay.
You
might
be
able
to
say
that
it
is
actually
dispersed
throughout
the
city,
not
just
in
this
particular
area.
M
So
if
I
could
just
start
with
that
council
member
woods,
I
don't
have
the
entire
history
of
palm
springs
and
I
certainly
don't
know
where
every
service
is
located.
What
I
can
say
for
certain
is
that
at
the
staff
level
and
what
we've
heard
from
council
is
that
one
we
want
to
be
responsive
to
opportunities
right,
and
we
discussed
that
this
parcel
in
particular
is
a
unique
opportunity.
M
But
if
you
look
even
at
recent
history,
there
was
another
opportunity
that
didn't
quite
come
to
the
fruition,
and
that
was
the
ivy
palm
motel.
The
ivy
palm
is
maybe
a
little
more
north
than
south,
but
it's
really
much
closer
to
uptown
and
even
downtown
than
it
is
say
what
most
people,
I
think,
would
consider
the
north
end.
We've
approved
a
couple
of
affordable
housing
projects
lately
and
they're.
Also
more
central.
M
The
access
center
is
located
near
city
hall,
the
the
warming
and
cooling
shelter
that
was
operate,
operated
at
the
united
methodist
church,
also
a
little
more
central
to
town.
So
certainly,
I
think
our
recent
history
has
been.
I
don't
want
to
say
opportunistic
in
a
bad
way,
but
we've
looked
for
partnerships,
we've
looked
for
where
we
can
provide
services
and-
and
then
thought
does
this
work.
Is
this
ideal?
M
M
So
we've
even
generated
some
maps
that
we
can
make
available
that
show
where
some
of
those
resources
are
located.
They
do
look
dispersed
to
me
and-
and
I
can
say
again
for
certain
that
as
we've
deliberated
as
staff
and
what
we've
heard
from
council
is
not
to
show
preference.
If
anything,
it
is
to
look
for
opportunities
where
these
kind
of
resources
can
be
located
throughout
the
community
and
not
in
any
one
area,
but
to
still
respond
strategically
to
the
opportunities
we
have
before
us.
G
Great,
thank
you,
and
you
know
there
are
just
adjacent
to
this,
and
people
probably
have
no
idea
just
south
of
this.
In
my
district
there
are
service
providers
that
people
probably
don't
even
know
exist
that
they're,
not
that
they're
there
and
they
have
probably
no
idea.
So
I
just
really
want
to
point
that
out
and
they're
operating
with
zero
impact
to
the
neighborhood
and
the
neighborhood
is
involved
with
those
organizations
to
make
sure
there
is
no
impact.
G
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
this
operation
works
the
same
way.
I
would
like
to
call
on
our
flint.
If
I
could
flynn-
and
I
had
a
discussion-
sorry
mayor-
did
you
wanna.
A
O
Mary
middleton
and
councilman
woods
as
I
as
a
city
manager,
pointed
out
about
the
specific
homelessness
services
that
we've
done
throughout
the
community.
In
fact,
we
actually
had
a
temporary
site
at
demuth
community
center,
as
well
as
palm
springs
high
school
a
couple
years
ago
for
the
summer
shelters.
But
additionally,
too,
is
that
the
county
of
riverside
has
housing
projects
that
are
not
just
affordable
housing
but
deal
with
housing
of
people
with
aids,
also
veterans
housing
throughout
the
city
that
are
dispersed
amongst
the
districts.
G
And
people,
probably
just
don't
know
where
they're
at
you
know
so
and
we
don't
need
to
be
advertising
them,
but
as
long
as
they
have
an
impact
but
director
flag
or
excuse
me,
deputy
city
manager.
Why
thank
you
congratulations
on
your
promotion.
If
people
don't
know,
we
had
a
discussion
earlier
about
kind
of
the
urban
planning
aspects
of
this,
because
you
know
martha's
in
palm
springs.
G
Martha's
in
indio
is
surrounded
by
basically
an
industrial
area
martha's
proposed
in
palm
springs.
I'm
going
to
call
it
martha's
if
that's
okay,
but
is
a
little
different.
It
isn't
an
industrial
area,
but
it
has
housing
on
one
side
across
the
wall
and
then
kitty
corner
across
the
street.
There
are
apartments
and
we
talked
about
kind
of
the
urban
planning
principles
of
this
and
what
mitigation-
and
you
gave
a
great
list,
if
you
don't
mind
going
through
that,
that
would
be
great.
K
Certainly,
I'd
be
happy
to
address
that
and
madam
mayor
members
of
council,
in
terms
of
the
use,
as
has
been
discussed,
a
navigation
center
is
different
than
an
emergency
shelter
or
a
day
center.
In
that
a
navigation
center
includes
both
multi-family
residential
uses,
which
is
the
residential
areas
that
unhoused
individuals
will
stay
in
until
stable
housing
is
provided,
and
then
it
also
has
office
uses
for
medical
facilities,
job
training,
etc,
and
so
what
we
really
see
in
terms
of
the
use
the
land
use
is
both
a
residential
and
an
office
use.
K
K
But
what
you
also
see
is
that
this
use
is
changing
from
what
has
been
an
industrial
use.
It
was
an
automotive
facility
where
car
repairs
were
done.
Car
painting,
fueling
other
things,
so
it's
changing
from
an
industrial
use
to
one
that
is
both
residential
and
office.
So,
to
a
certain
degree,
there
is
a
lessening
of
the
impact
of
the
use
in
terms
of
its
change.
K
Another
thing
to
take
into
consideration
relative
to
this
facility
is
mitigation
measures
that
might
be
imposed
and
where
you
see
that
is
in
the
proposed
scope
of
services,
which
is
included
in
the
attachments
that
you
have
for
this
item.
When
we
look
at
facilities
for
unhoused
individuals,
often
times,
we
impose
conditions
that
try
to
address
or
mitigate
potential
impacts
and
secondary
impacts
and
the
scope
of
services
agreement
is
really
intended
to
do
that
in
terms
of
the
specific
measures
that
are
included
in
there
so
included.
K
K
K
G
Great
and
just
to
kind
of
repeat
so
use
noise
issues.
Security
is
all
kind
of
addressed
in
the
package.
That's
before
us,
I
don't
think
buffers
is
so.
Is
that
something
I
guess
it
asks
the
city
attorney?
Can
we
add
that
into
the
services
agreement
to
have
them
look
at
the
buffers,
as
outlined
by
flynn.
I
O
M
Yeah-
and
one
thing
I
was
just
going
to
mention-
is
that,
in
addition
to
building
anything
into
these
agreements,
the
the
nice
thing
about
the
city
being
in
the
driver's
seat
and
the
partnership
we've
established
with
the
county,
is
we
really
get
to
make
those
decisions
so
the
so
the
city
council
can
decide
what
it
wants
to
see,
come
back
for
approval
and
add
anything
you
want
really
to
the
physical
design
and
layout
of
the
space
and
the
operations
of
the
space.
M
G
And
so
I'd
like
to
move
to
our
police
chief,
if
he's
still
on
the
line,
if
I
could
I'll
wait
for
myself,
hi
chief
mills,
one
of
the
criticisms
or
one
of
the
not
criticisms,
that's
really
the
wrong
thing
to
say.
One
of
some
of
the
feedback
is
that
it
would
be
kind
of
a
magnet
for
crime
and
a
magnet
for
nefarious
activity
per
se,
and
there
would
be
a
lot
of
loitering
and
whatnot
and
in
your
research
and
in
your
experience,
can
you
address
those
concerns.
S
Yeah,
council,
member
woods
and
good
evening,
council
members
and
mayor
middleton,
you
know
that
would
have
to
assume
that
homeless
people
are
predisposed
to
crime.
S
Certainly,
there
are
behavioral
health
issues
and
mental
health
issues
that
need
to
be
addressed,
and
I
fully
believe
that
working
with
the
the
people
who
are
providing
the
services
as
well
as
safety
personnel
there,
that
we
can
design
out
many
of
the
problems
that
the
community
would
be
concerned
about
through
situational
crime
prevention
techniques
through
crime
prevention
through
environmental
design.
And
I
can
assign
a
lieutenant
to
the
service
area
around
it.
S
To
make
sure
that
we're
keeping
an
eye
on
it
that
we're
pulling
data
on
a
regular
basis
to
make
sure
that
problems
are
not
increasing.
S
So
I
would
make
sure
that
we
are
paying
attention
to
the
community,
as
well
as
to
the
people
who
are
coming
and
going
from
the
facility
in
desperate
need
of
help.
G
So
it's
it
seems
to
me.
Oh
sorry,
mayor
pretend:
do
you
want
to
ask
the
question.
C
Okay,
thank
you
then.
Yes,
hi
chief
mills
can
so
a
little
bit
more
on
that.
I
think
one
of
the
the
big
concerns
right
is
that
that
there
will
be
folks
who
come
to
the
center,
maybe
for
a
hot
meal,
but
then
don't
utilize
the
residential
aspect
of
the
center
and
then
are
loitering
on
the
big
empty
lot.
That's
going
to
be.
That
is
right
there
adjacent
or
at
the
tower
market,
or
at
the
dispensary
or
just
anywhere
nearby.
C
So
I
I
did
go
to
martha's
village
and
kitchen
this
morning
and
and
had
another
tour.
I've
toured
the
facility
before
and
I've
been
around,
but
I
I
also
drove
around
and
I
wanted
to
just
kind
of
understand
a
little
bit
more,
and
so
there
were
some
folks
who
were
kind
of
just
hanging
around
not
on
the
property
but
kind
of
down
the
street
a
little
ways,
and
I
think
they
didn't
seem
to
be
bothering
anybody.
C
They
seemed
very
much
just
sitting
there,
but
I
think
that
that's
one
of
the
things
that
I
know
that
that
people
are
concerned
about.
So
if,
if
chief,
you
can
kind
of
address
how
to
prevent
excessive
loitering
and
how
to
help
folks
who
are
in
that
situation,
who
are
kind
of
hesitant
to
get
help
and
then
maybe
miss
brock,
if
you
can
also
kind
of
jump
in
on
that,
because
I
think
that
is
really
what
we're
what
my
residents
are
concerned
about.
L
S
It
certainly
is
possible
that
you'll
see
an
increase
in
traffic
of
people
coming
and
going
from
the
shelter
to
get
help
or
to
get
services,
however,
because
it
provides
us
with
the
opportunity
to
do
some
enforcement
on
people
who
are
refusing
services
and
refusing
help
that
opens
up
the
ability
for
the
police
to
have
more
tools
in
our
belt,
and
I
do
believe
that
this
will
enable
us
to
help
hold
a
half
of
people
held
to
a
little
bit
higher
accountability
and
to
make
sure
that
people
are
not
loitering
in
and
around
the
facility
waiting
for
services.
S
One
of
the
things
I
think
we've
seen
traditionally
over
the
years
is
when
services
are
run.
Well,
we
don't
see
those
problems
congregate
in
neighborhoods,
when
it's
unfettered
access
with
no
accountability,
then
you
can
see
problems
in
neighborhoods
and
that's
not
what
I
have
learned
from
what
I
have
seen
the
proposals,
at
least
up
to
this
point.
G
G
You
know
kind
of
two
separate
things,
so
I'm
wondering
how
the
neighbors
and
and
just
I
think
you
can
agree
to
this-
and
how
the
the
documents
before
us
that
we're
going
to
prove
reflect
that
the
neighborhood
and
concerned
residents
or
neighbors
or
or
whoever
can
be
involved
right
up
front
both
in
the
design.
So
we
can,
you
know
many
times
you
can
sign
out
crime
or
issues
and
and
then
ultimately,
in
the
operation
right.
R
Can
I
say
something
here:
when
we
opened
at
the
methodist
church,
we
had
a
few
people
that
were
in
the
in
the
neighborhood
that
were
very
vocal
and
basically
it
would
be
somebody
a
homeless
person
walking
down
the
street
or
that
sort
of
thing.
So
what
we
did
we
kind
of
have
this
disarming
tool
that
we
use
with
people
in
the
neighborhood
is
please
come
volunteer.
Please
come
see
who
these
people
are.
M
Council
number
ones-
if
I
could,
I
I
think
we
have
mitch
from
lasar
on,
and
they
have
now
a
fairly
robust
scope
of
work
to
do
some
of
the
community
outreach.
It
was
important
for
us
to
bring
a
provider
on
so
that
that
conversation
is
rich
and
not
full
of
questions
that
don't
have
answers,
because
someone
like
linda
and
her
team,
they
can
provide
some
of
the
substance
on
operations
mitch
and
his
team
can
provide
some
of
the
best
practices
that
they've
observed
at
other
locations.
M
So
some
of
that
in
terms
of
design
and
early
conversations
on
operations,
is
built
into
a
scope
of
work
and
and
we're
ready
to
roll
that
out.
In
addition,
we
built
in
the
kind
of
ongoing
minimum
quarterly
forums,
but
we'd
be
happy
to
turn
that
into
something
especially
early
on
more
frequent,
more
formal
where
we
had
a
working
group
comprised
of
members
of
the
community
that
could
express
their
concerns.
M
There'd
be
some
continuity
in
the
conversation
by
having
some
people,
ideally
that
are
well
connected
to
their
neighborhoods
and
and
other
affinity
groups
present,
so
that
it's
not
just
show
up
sometimes,
but
some
people
that
really
have
answers
and
information
and
continuity
of
conversation,
and
we
can
keep
that
going
as
long
as
necessary.
Ideally,
things
do
reach
a
point
where
we
can
fall
back
to
something
more
like
quarterly,
because
things
are
going
well,
but
initially
I
don't
think
there
are
any
limits
to
to
what
we
can
do
to
connect
with
people.
M
G
So,
thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
so
mitch.
If
I
can
ask
you,
so,
are
you
going
to
do
the
outreach
component
and
the
involved
neighborhood
component,
and
if
so,
can
you
tell
people
how
to
get
in
touch
with
you
if
they're
interested.
S
S
The
we've
presented
a
framework
for
an
outreach
plan
to
the
city
and
are
looking
forward
to
input
from
the
city
council
and
from
city
staff
to
finalize
exactly
what
that
plan
will
look
like
our
vision
is
that
we
would
be
doing
outreach
into
the
surrounding
communities
speaking
with
interest
groups
from
a
variety
of
every
perspective
that
we
can
reach
doing
some
surveys
in
order
to
get
feedback
from
folks
and
then
setting
up
with
the
help
of
city
staff.
Regular
opportunities
for
people
to
provide
feedback.
Ask
questions,
give
input
in
into
the
process.
S
So
it's
not
all
finalized
yet.
But
I
think
all
the
things
that
you've
been
discussing
tonight
are
great
ideas
to
add
to
the
final
structure
of
the
outreach
plan,
and
I
think
we
can
certainly
get
to
the
point
where
there
is
a
structured
way
for
people
to
provide
feedback,
to
ask
questions
and
structured
opportunities
for
people
to
get
updates
on
the
progress
of
the
of
the
project.
G
Great
I
so
appreciate
this
has
got
to
be
a
community
effort.
It
absolutely
has
you
know
this.
I
think,
as
linda
barack
said,
you
know,
the
homeless
are
part
of
our
community
too.
This
has
got
to
really
be
everyone
coming
together
to
do
it,
and
I
will
thank
you,
madam
mayor,
for
your
indulgence
on
this.
I
will
relinquish
the
floor.
I
might
come
back
but
I'll
relinquish
the
floor
for
other
other
council
members.
Thank
you.
C
That's
okay,
linda
wondering
if
you
could
talk
about
who
the
anticipated
clientele
will
be.
I
think
we're
hearing
a
lot
from
residents
that
it
almost
seems
like
there's.
This
idea
that
everyone
who
hangs
around
downtown
is
just
going
to
be
off
the
streets
and-
and
I
I
think
you
can
speak
to
that
and
kind
of
who
these
who
these
different
groups
are
and
who
uses
the
services
right.
R
So
I
was
just
talking
about
this
today
with
staff.
I
got
some
numbers
and
specifically
the
access
center
and
yes,
we're
over
600.
At
this
point,
you
guys
have
over
600
unduplicated
homeless
individuals.
R
So
what
I
see
as
a
provider
and
somebody
that's,
truly
passionate
about
the
homeless.
I
must
admit
when
we
break
down
the
numbers,
you
have
your
main
number
and
that's
everybody
that
may
come
in
for
a
shower
water
to
get
out
of
the
heat
whatever
it
is
they
in
the
beginning,
we
saw
a
lot
of
homeless
individuals
in
medical
distress,
they
were
having
heart
attacks
and
they
crawled
to
the
access
center
to
get
help,
and
you
I'm
sure,
justin
and
jay.
You
remember
me
reporting
it
and
it
continues.
R
So
you
have
a
very
diverse,
but
what
I
looked
at
today,
in
particular,
is
that
about
a
third
of
that
600
plus
are
actually
going
and
meeting
with
the
case
managers.
Now
you
remember
that
it's
housing
first,
so
they
have
the
option
to
meet
with
case
managers
or
not.
Now
that
may
not
sound
like
a
lot
to
you,
but
it's
it's
over
200
people
that
are
actually
sitting
down
on
a
regular
basis.
Getting
the
I
you
know.
R
I
speak
this
weird
language,
like
vice
verdat
and
coordinated
entry,
and
all
these
other
things,
but
they're
being
linked
and
we're
getting
their
their
medical
insurance
insurance
in
place
and
we're
getting
them
on
the
rolls
of
possible
permanent
housing
depending
on
their
age,
there's
just
so
much
that
goes
into
it.
R
We
really
did
our
job,
because
if
you
really
have
a
good
provider,
they
can
move
people
through,
but
the
outcome
needs
to
be
a
good
one.
For
them
they
need
to
be
able
to
afford
the
housing
that
they're
placed
in
they
need
the
support
they
need
to
know
how
to
budget
need.
They
need
income
whatever
it
is:
disability
or
employment,
whatever
it
is,
so
they
have
the
tools
to
remain
in
housing.
R
You
guys
talk
about
our
outcomes
you
this
year
it
was
85,
usually
we're
closer
to
89.90,
but
with
covid.
We've
dropped
slipped
a
little
bit,
but
we
are
also
probably
have
one
of
the
highest
rankings
for
keeping
people.
Our
people
don't
fall
back
into
homelessness
and
we
can
tell
this
through
hmis.
R
So
if
you're
going
to
say
to
me
how
many
people
do,
I
think
your
net,
the
navigation
center,
is
going
to
be
able
to
serve.
You
know
probably
three
and
a
half
times
the
80.
and
that's
a
good
clip.
That
is
a
good
clip
with
the
people.
So
when
you
look
at
how
many
you
have
but
today
believe
it
or
not,
I
was
kind
of
encouraged.
I
thought
well
they're
going
to
be
able
to
take
these
folks
that
are
so
willing
to
go
to
case
management
and
just
work
on
everything
right.
R
That
number
is
probably
what
you'll
do
each
year
with
your
80.
and
what
we
saw.
You
know
that
we
popped
up
right
and
we
did
overnight
shelter
when
it
was
going
to
flood
and
it
was
raining
and
nasty
nasty
weather.
What
we
saw
come
in
to
stay
overnight,
where
you
have
a
lot
of
seniors,
a
lot
of
senior
homeless
and
a
lot
of
disabled
homeless
a
lot
and
those
were
the
ones
that
came
in
to
get
out
of
the
weather.
C
O
Sergeant
mayor
and
councilman
garner,
if
I
could
address
because
the
question
you
asked
was
perfect-
is
about
because
there's
this
misconception
about
who
the
clientele
is,
that
will
be
served
and-
and
we
heard
that
in
comments
that
they're
worried
about
crime,
they're,
worried
about
drug
use-
and
that's
just
not
the
case-
and
this
even
came
up
at
a
city
council
meeting
in
coachella
last
night
about
permanent
supportive
housing
right
you're
dealing
with
a
range
of
spectrum
of
clientele.
O
Yes,
some
have
severe
mental
health
and
substance
use
problems,
primarily
those
are
not
the
ones
that
will
be
actually
at
accessing
the
navigation
center
at
first.
They
they
need.
You
know,
40
to
50
times
of
outreach.
What
what
this
type
of
campus
does
and
has
proven
across
the
country
is
those
that
have
just
fallen
into
homelessness,
families
or
individuals
that
have
had
those
40
to
50
outreach
times
that
will
access
the
services.
O
O
Homelessness
is
just
like
the
regular
population.
We
all
have
our
own
mental
health
issues.
We
all
have
our
own
income
issues,
but
we
all
have
the
means
and
the
resources
to
deal
with
that
when
we
can.
But
that's
what
this
campus
will
do
is
provide
the
means
and
the
resources
for
those
who
don't
have
it
to
be
able
to
access
those
services.
R
And
many
times
a
solution
can
be
reunification
with
their
family
bill.
You
know,
rebuilding
those
bridges,
you
know
it.
It's
like.
I
said
it's,
it's
so
diverse,
but
people
that
walk
into
martha's,
I
always
say
after
I
give
it
to
her.
Do
you
realize
that
you've
been
surrounded
by
homeless
people?
Did
you
at
all
feel
uncomfortable?
R
Oh
those
cute,
kids,
and
that
you
know
not
elderly
woman
yeah.
That's
who
they
are,
they
are,
and
a
lot
of
homelessness
is
what
we
call
situational
right.
A
situation
happens
and
their
life
changes
now
they've
got
to
undo
the
knot
and
find
their
way
back,
but
they
have
that
ability,
and
then
you
have
the
ones
that
we
see
and
recognize
as
homeless
right.
C
Yeah,
thank
you,
and
I
phrased
that
partially
to
so
that
the
our
residents
understand
too,
that
this
isn't
an
overnight
shift
right.
The
the
doors
of
a
center
wouldn't
open,
and
you
would
suddenly
not
suddenly
see
the
streets
clear
of
folks
who,
like
to
wear
slogan,
those
those
folks
are
still
maybe
need
another
10
or
30,
or
maybe
even
50,
outreaches
right
before
they're
they're
going
to
move.
But
but
on
that
you
know
you're
talking
about
a
great
deal
of
folks
that
are
going
to
come
through
the
center.
C
How
do
you
anticipate
the
doors
opening
for
the
center?
Do
you
anticipate
80
beds
being
in
service
immediately?
Will
there
be
a
phase-in
process?
I'm
not,
or
maybe
these
are
too
early
to
ask,
but
right
it.
R
Might
be
a
little
bit
yeah,
it
might
be
a
little
bit
early,
but
we
can't
write
that
fast
to
process
80
people
in
one
day.
I
think
it
will.
Probably,
although
you
know
everybody
with
the
warm
weather
shelter
we
went
from
having
like
10
the
first
night
to
being
completely
full
from
that
point
forward.
R
So
no
matter
how
hard
we
have
to
work,
we're
going
to
get
it
done,
but
you
have
to
understand,
too
that
we
have
responsibility
to
the
client
and
the
client
has
responsibility
to
the
program
and
we
go
through
this
right
and
we
explain
why
we
don't
just
say
we're
not
like
mom
said,
and
they
have
all
of
the
choices
of
housing
first.
But
this
is
what
we
do
every
day.
We
will
not.
R
I
don't
think
in
the
first
week
before,
but
I
would
think
no
later
than
the
first
month,
but
we
also
know
how
to
handle
that
situation
it
it
needs
to
be
at
martha's.
I
think
you
kind
of
notice
a
free
flow,
you
know
they're
either
in
employment
services
or
they
might
be
in
budgeting
or
they
might
be
wherever
it
is
that
they
need
to
be
at
that
time.
That's
what
they're
doing
or
maybe
even
better
than
that
we've
gotten
them
some
sort
of
voucher
and
they're
out
looking
for
their
home.
You
know.
O
Greg
you
know
and
councilman
regard
if
I,
if,
if
I
can
distinguish
a
little
bit
so
so,
the
80
units
is
actually
the
transitional
interim
housing
unit
that
we're
applying
for
under
project
home
key.
So
the
shelter
aspect
which
we're
still
will
have
funding
for
is
a
different
you're,
probably
looking
about
50
to
60
beds,
you
know
women's
and
men's
half
of
that,
so
obviously
we're
dealing
with
a
phased-in
approach.
O
The
only
reason
I
bring
this
up
is
because
there
were
some
comments
that
we're
just
putting
this
together
without
any
analysis
of
how
to
do
services
and
all
that-
and
that's
not
true,
we
are
looking
at,
and
you
know
this
councilman
gardner
review
and
I've
talked
about.
This
is
that
this
is
a
throughput
system,
so
whether
you
have
the
element
of
shelter
beds
with
the
wrap
around
services,
but
the
interim
housing
is
key
and
that's
the
80
units
and
to
linda's
point
is
you're:
we're
not
going
to
throw
everyone
in
on
day
one.
O
We
just
can't
do
that
physically
or
operationally,
but
again
it
gets
to
the
whole
throughput
aspect
of
that.
C
O
O
Whatever
word
we
want
to
use
crisis
stabilization,
there
will
be
an
element
of
shelter
bits
because
if
you
talk
to
the
police
department,
if
you
talk
to
christine
I've,
dealt
with
this
for
the
last
two
years
so
as
jeff,
and
I
is
that
there
has
to
be
some
element
where
we
can
get
people
off
of
the
street
and
into
a
bed,
because
if,
if
the
police
department
or
cv
housing,
first
or
jewish
family
services
or
county
behavioral
health
encounter
somebody
that
is
willing
to
get
off
the
street
right
now,
but
it's
not
necessarily
ready
for
a
housing
unit.
O
They
have
to
have
a
shelter
bed
and
linda
operates
this
type
of
system.
Incredibly
well,
and
that's
how
her
whole
system
works.
Is
you
get
him
into
at
least
some
type
of
shelter
situation
and
we're
not
talking
about
a
gym
full
of
places?
This
is
actually
we're
looking
at
individual
rooms
within
that
shelter
system,
not
only
to
provide
security
and
safety,
but
again
you
know,
god
forbid
and
other
pandemic
hits.
O
So
again
it's
about
a
continuum,
so
you've
got
that
element
of
shelter,
but
it's
not
an
overnight
shelter
where
people
can
exit
and
enter.
I
that
and
I'm
glad
you
bring
this
up
councilman
garner,
because
this
is
not
a
situation
where
this
is
like
other
operations
that
have
happened
where
there's
drop
in
drop
out.
You
know
the
daytime,
you
can
come
here
and
take
a
shower
and
get
food.
That's
not
what
the
vision
of
this
navigation
campus
is
for.
O
So
I'll
just
walk
you
through
this
really
quickly.
Is
that
say
the
police
department's
got
someone
they've
got
off
the
street.
We
can
provide
a
shelter
bed
that
night
martha's
and
their
staff
will
work
with
that
client
to
make
sure
that
their
access
to
services
that
they
get
their
id,
that
they
they're
getting
enrolled
in
medi-cal.
O
But
then
the
goal
is
to
transfer
them,
then
into
interim
housing,
and
then
the
further
goal
is
to
transfer
them
into
permanent
supportive
housing
and
the
further
goal
through
workforce
development
and
operation,
county
and
behavioral
health
treatment
substance
use
is
to
be
able
to
allow
them
for
those
who
can
to
actually
provide
their
own
income
and
actually
get
out
of
even
supportive
housing
and
into
market
rate
housing.
So
that's
the
vision
here.
It's
it's
again.
O
It's
not
this
drop-in
dropout
facility
you're,
not
talking
a
lot
of
about
a
lot
of
in
and
out
traffic
per
day,
I'll
stop
there,
because
I've
pretty
much
explained
that.
C
Okay,
thank
you.
I
think
I'm
still
a
little
bit
concerned
about
just
making
sure
that
we're
not,
but
I
guess
I
was
I
was
thinking
of
the
80
housing
units
and
now
having
the
temporary
shelter
beds
too.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
properly
equipped
to
handle
all
of
the
folks
who
might
need
the
services
and
that
the
city
and
the
count
everyone
is
looking
at
that
financial
concern
too,
because
I
think
that's
something
that's
been
raised.
C
A
lot
as
well
is
making
sure
that
the
city,
mostly
that
we
are,
are
prepared
to
to
address
any
issues
because
most
of
the
time
find
it's
financial
right
in
order
to
address
them,
we
need
the
money
to
to
do
it
and
that
we
actually
put
that
into
motion.
O
I
don't
know
how
many
weeks,
not
only
on
hopefully
garnering
the
state
home
key
to
up
money
for
not
only
capital
improvements
but
also
capitalizing
operating
expenses,
and
we
have
balanced
that
with
the
city's
hap
money
for
operating
expenses
linda-
and
I
have
had
conversations-
I
know
lyndon-
the
city
has
had
conversations
and
if
you
look
at
just
what
martha's
done,
the
ability
for
private
and
philanthropic
donations
and
grant
access
we've
had
these
conversations,
too,
is
that
I
know
that
the
west
valley
and
the
philanthropic
community
with
this
model
would
be
behind
it.
O
You
heard
people
like
aftab
and
jerry
keller
in
support
of
this
they've,
already
expressed
interest
in
helping
and
donating
to
this
prospect.
So
what
I
will
say
here
and
roy's
was
brought
up
in
one
of
the
comets
and
roy's
was
built
by
the
county.
Originally,
it
was
supposed
to
be
this
kind
of
concept.
Navigation
center.
It
didn't
happen.
It
became
an
overnight
shelter.
Basically,
additionally,
though,
is
we
didn't
provide
for
ongoing
operational
costs?
I
I
would
not
be
sitting
here
in
support
of
this
project.
O
I
would
have
not
worked
so
intently
with
the
city
and
the
county
and
martha's
to
advance
this
project
if
we
were
not
actually
considering
not
just
what
it
would
take
capital
cost
wise,
but,
more
importantly,
what
it
takes
operationally
to
make
this
sustainable.
O
R
Have
expressed
from
the
very
beginning
when
we
came
in
with
the
access
center
to
operate
it
that
we
are
partners
in
this,
and
that
means
that
martha's
rights
grants
are
certain
things
that
we
can
write
for.
That's
not
easy
for
the
city
to
do.
There's
things
that
the
county
can't
do,
but
there
are
things
that
they
can
do
that
martha's
can't
write.
R
C
Yeah
right
one
more
one
more
question
and
then
I'll
have
comments
later.
So
I
understand
that
there
was
a
lot
more
trash
at
the
methodist
church
once
there
were
services
there
and
of
course
there
was
wonderful
staff
that
cleaned
it
up
and
and
all
of
that
so,
but
in
this
in
this
particular
area,
because
of
where
the
bus
stops
are
and
because
of
the
wind,
we
often
see
a
lot
of
trash.
I
live
nearby
right,
so
there's
often
a
lot
of
trash
that
just
kind
of
gets
thrown
around.
C
So
I'm
wondering
if
there's
a
plan
in
place
to
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
address
that
in
a
better
way,
because
the
united
methodist
church
is
kind
of
in
a
location
where
it's
not
as
windy
and
it's
more
condensed
space.
This
is
a
little
bit
easier
to
clean
up
and
I'm
just
concerned
about
trash
kind
of
down
san
raphael
and
making
sure
that
we
get.
O
So
if
you
look
at
the
the
current
plot
plan,
the
site
plan
is
again
keep
in
mind.
This
is
a
you
know.
Not
just
a
overnight
shelter
or
a
24-hour
like,
like
united
methodist
church
was,
is
they?
This
is
a
self-contained
campus
right,
so
on-site
you've
got
full
trash
bin
collection
and
all
that
so
and
again
to
to
to
your
point
and
council
councilmember
garner
and
to
what
the
chief
said
too,
is
that
again
the
the
loitering
is
not
going
to
happen.
O
R
Right,
so
what
happened
at
the
methodist
church
is
there's
a
lunch
program
and
they
would
give
them
boxes
to
go
right.
So
there
was
a
lot
of
kind
of
tossing.
Of
that
you
know.
I
I
mean
we're
pretty
neat
and
tidy
but
yeah.
R
There
is
also
wind
factors
that
that
all
of
that
trash
that
you
see
obviously
they're
not
yet
there
yet,
and
you
have
the
issue,
but
I
can
guarantee
you
that
we
are,
I
make
sure,
we're
very
tidy,
because
I
believe
that
we
should
give
the
community
and
our
clients
the
very
best
that
we
can.
C
C
No,
I
I
agree.
I
again,
I
just
I
just
flagged
that,
because
I
know
it
is
something
that
we
contend
with
over
in
the
northern
part
with
it,
where
it's.
C
A
All
right,
then,
let's
give
does
council
member
coors
your
councilmember
halstead.
You
want
to
jump
in
with
any
questions.
J
Great-
and
I
really
appreciate
council
member
woods
and
mayor
pro
tim
garner
because
that
covered
so
much
of
I
think
the
things
many
of
us
had.
J
I
didn't
want
to
raise
a
question
I
don't
know
is
for
you
linda
or
greg
or
both
you
know
we
before
covid
council
member
hostage
and
I
were
working,
how
we
get
like
the
court
program,
sort
of
into
palm
springs
and
and
having
some
dedicated
beds
are
such
an
important
places
and
we
call
them
beds,
but
they
actually
are
rooms
right,
yeah,.
J
So,
let's
call
them
doors
because
they
are
rooms.
It's
not
just
a
big,
very
thing
of
people
like
you
know,
because
if
you
see
an
overnight
emergency
shelter,
that's
you
know
what
people
have
seen
and
that's
needed
sometimes,
but
that's
not
what
this
is.
But
you
know
the
court
program,
which
really
is
such
a
great
restorative
justice
program
right
it
lets
people
get
rid
of.
You
know
violent
criminal
history.
People
carrying
around
hundreds
of
thousands
of
fines
can
never
get
out
from
under
them.
R
Well,
we're
a
part
of
it
right.
Yeah
we
go
to
the
meetings
and
there's
a
process
to
it.
I
don't
think
that
it
would
be
hard
for
me.
The
hardest
part
was
setting
up
probation,
getting
the
particular
judge
and
the
the
district
attorney
and
everybody
on
board
right,
well,
they're,
all
in
india
and
that
work's
kind
of
been
done.
You
guys
just
need
to
link
to
it
and
then
you've
got
to
get
providers
that
are
active
to
have
enough
activity
right
and
it
once
you
get
the
hang
of
it.
It's
it's
pretty
doable.
R
You
just
need
to
connect,
and
I
I
think
we
can
get
you
a
contact
to
see
how
you
connect
with,
because
courts
are
up
there
probation's
up
there
they're
all
on
board,
but
you
need
your
police
department
to
kind
of
check
in
with
it.
That's
a
big
piece
of
it
and
then
to
get
your
providers
on
board
because
they
have
a
processors
forms
and
all
of
that,
but
yes,
I
do,
I
do
think
it's
and
it
is.
R
O
So
jeff
this,
this
has
been
a
conversation
that
the
supervisor
and
I
have
been
having
with
probation
and-
and
this
is
actually
a
vision
of
the
county
to
expand
this.
We
actually
haven't
really
moved
this
court
homeless
court
system,
the
way
that
we
should-
and
that
is
the
goal
not
only
of
the
executive
office
but
also
probation
as
well,
and
so
this
is
exactly
the
right
type
of
campus
to
feed
this
into
right.
We
actually
have
county
court
facilities
within
the
city
of
palm
springs
that
are
easily
adaptable
to
the
sites
right.
O
So
again,
this
is
part
of
this
holistic
treatment
to
advancing
health.
R
O
O
O
You
know
we
haven't
gotten
into
the
weeds
of
what
all
the
services
are
and
how
we're
going
to
fund
everything,
but
that's
just
how
the
nature
of
these
things
go.
But
if
you
look
at
the
aspects
of
the
the
money
that
behavioral
health
department
can
provide,
the
ability
to
reimburse
through
cal
aim
the
new
medic.
O
There
are
huge
opportunities
here
and
I'll
leave
it
that
way,
right.
J
No
thank
you.
I
mean,
and
I
wanted
to
highlight
that,
because
you
know
the
goals
are
so
important
here
right
and
when
people
come
out
of
it
and
can
you
know
start
fresh
and
not
have
those
fines
from
you
know
a
lot
of
criminal
activity
that
is
as
a
result
of
them
being
homeless,
they're,
really
that
it
wouldn't
have
happened.
Otherwise
you
know
so
you
know
so
greg.
J
You
know
the
more
we
can
think
about
that
before
this
opens
and
get
that
in
place
the
better,
because
we
really
want
to
give
people
that
opportunity
to
have
their
best
lives,
and
I
think
that's
what's
so
key
here.
So
thank
you.
That
was
my
only
question
really
since
so
much
was
covered
already.
N
Thank
you.
I
do
so
if
staff
could
just
detail
the
next
steps
for
the
public,
so
I
have
some
of
those
questions
as
well
too.
This
is
a
new
phase,
we're
in
and
working
in
partnership,
and
I
have
some
questions
about
like
the
development
process.
What
that's
going
to
look
like,
you
know
the
plans,
what
it's
going
to
look
like
to
build
out.
Yes,
if
there
will
be
child
care,
if
there
will
be
xyz
services,
I
think
the
community
has
those
questions
as
well,
so
justin
I
saw
you
and
muted.
M
Yeah
and
certainly
jay
varada
can
help,
but
this
is
a
really
key
milestone,
because
now
appending
council
action,
we
will
actually
have
a
property,
we'll
have
a
provider.
We've
got
an
application
for
funding.
We've
got
our
consultant
team,
we've
got
our
county
partner,
so
everything
is
in
place.
So
next
steps
would
be
to
engage.
M
You
heard
a
milestone
of
entering
into
some
form
of
design
up
until
maybe
january
of
next
year
before
we
would
start
construction
so
between
now
and
then
we'd
be
engaging
with
stakeholders
and
residents
and
the
design
team
to
really
advance
this
project
forward
and
answer
all
those
specific
questions
like
you
mentioned.
There
could
be
some
decision
points
along
the
way
and
and
again
jay
and
lasar
can
help
us
understand
home
ke2,
for
instance,
you
know,
has
some
very
particular
components.
You
know
it
needs
to
be
a
low
barrier
to
access
shelter.
M
M
So
it's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
those
iterations
until
construction,
probably
at
the
time
of
construction,
things
slowed
down
a
little
bit,
I'm
anticipating,
because
we
will
have
really
solidified
the
design
and
the
plan
and
the
operations,
but
they'll
still
be
other
components:
fundraising,
writing
grants,
etc,
etc,
and
then
we'd
move
into
an
operations
phase
where
we'd
hope
to
have
a
lot
of
the
things
worked
out
like.
Is
it
going
to
be
a
formal
committee?
M
N
N
M
Builder,
so
we
we've
got
some
design
underway
now,
at
some
point,
we'd
go
out
to
bid
and
select
a
builder
based
on
qualifications
and
at
some
point,
depending
on
exactly
how
we
intend
to
construct
the
project
and
again,
jay
and
lazar
may
have
talked
about
this.
A
little
more.
You
know
there
are
some
decisions
to
make.
Is
it
more
of
a
design
build
where
you
bring
a
contra
contractor
or
builder
in
earlier
to
help,
inform
the
latter
stages
of
design,
or
do
you
design
the
whole
thing
and
then
kind
of
bid
and
build
it?
M
You
know
there
are
a
couple
of
those
smaller
considerations,
but
none
of
this
is
really
done
in
house
with
city
staff.
We
guide
the
process.
The
county,
linda
and
martha's
help
guide
the
process
and
we
have
consultants
as
we
would
in
any
typical
capital
construction
project
to
complete
design
and
then
to
build.
O
N
So
you
design
in-house
or
you
design
with
partners,
and
then
you
use
a
construction
firm
and
we
don't
have
to
solidify
those
details
now,
but
I
am
interested
in
those
details
about
who
will
do
what
and
staff
capacity
and
how
to
use
best
practices
in
terms
of
like
someone
said,
I
think,
retired
council
member
jenny
vogt.
N
This
is
such
an
opportunity
for
our
community
to
make
investments
in
this
area,
and
I
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
opportunity,
I'm
really
interested
in
like
a
child
care
center
or
workforce
development,
or
we
talked
about
a
culinary
workforce
training
program
right,
which
is
one
of
the
exciting
programs.
I
know
martha's
has
the
child
care
center
and
ndo
and
things
like
that.
But
I'm
just
more
wondering
you
know.
N
Maybe
it
is
a
process
that
we
can
really
spell
out
for
the
public
and
for
the
partners,
so
everyone
knows
who
is
doing
what
what
capacity
we
have
and
what
other
help
we
might
need
to
bring
on
to
develop
a
project
like
this.
So.
M
Yeah,
absolutely
that's.
One
of
the
reasons
we
have
lasar
on
board
is
that
they
have
broad
experience
primarily
in
this
area
of
housing
and
and
homeless
services,
including
other
best
practices
that
they've
studied
and
seen
and
experienced
elsewhere
across
the
state.
It's
one
of
the
reasons
we
have
someone
like
greg
involved
and
someone
like
linda
involved
as
well
and-
and
I
think
what
I'm
really
picking
up
and
I
think
what
we
expected
at
the
outset
is
we.
We
want
to
have
more
of
these
conversations
rather
than
less.
M
There
are
certain
projects
that
are
pretty
straightforward.
You
know
where.
Maybe
we
bring
you
a
final
design
or
something
like
that,
but
this
is
probably
one
of
those
projects
where,
as
we're
having
conversations
and
hearing
from
the
community
about
child
care
about
the
kind
of
particular
resources
and
design
elements
that
we'd
be
checking
in
with
council
frequently,
so
you
always
kind
of
know
where
we've
been
where
we
are
and
where
we're
going.
O
Can
I
bring
in
a
caveat
here
too,
is
that
I
agree
with
all
of
just
what
justin
said,
but
I
think
also,
I
think,
not
only
with
you
as
a
council,
but
also
the
community.
Is
we
don't
want
to
spend
bureaucratic
government
time
making
this
take
two
to
three
years
to
happen.
I
I
think
justin
would
have
tested
the
fact
of
what
the
county
and
the
city
been
able
to
do
within
the
last
six
months
is
almost
remarkable
as
far
as
government
interaction.
O
So,
while
community
engagement
and
to
your
point
councilmember
hostage
is
that's
why
we
went
out
to
bring
on
martha's
through
the
loi
on
right
away.
That's
why
lasar
has
been
brought
in
as
consultants
to
the
county
and
have
you
know
subcontracted
their
own
through
architects
and
all
that
to
get
not
only
conceptual
stuff
for
a
home
key
application.
But
to
your
point
is
how
do
we
do
that
community
engagement?
How
how
do
we
get
the
right,
servicing
and
programming?
O
But
how
do
we
do
that
in
an
expedited
manner,
because
I
think
we
can
prove
to
the
rest
of
not
only
the
state
of
california
but
also
to
the
nation
that
government
actually
can
deliver
services
in
a
shorter
amount
of
time
than
we
usually
do.
L
N
O
N
Because
you're
raising
bringing
some
of
those
questions
here-
and
I
just
don't
think
that
obviously
the
city
council
are
not
developers
of
projects.
Obviously
we
want
to
hear
from
our
residents
what
should
be
included.
We
want
to
provide
that
public
policy
guidelines,
but
we
don't
want
to
be
developing
a
project
here
together
right.
O
And
and-
and
I
get
what
you're
saying-
councilmember
wholesales,
but
I
think
for
the
purpose
of
tonight
is-
is
primarily
making
sure
we
can
secure
the
property
that
that
the
funding
agreement
between
the
county
and
the
direction
to
staff
is
set.
And
then
those
details,
of
course,
will
come
as
we
move
through
the
process.
Because
I
totally
agree
with
you.
M
Yeah
and
I
envisioned
that
our
engagement
would
be
to
cue
up
certain
critical
milestone,
type
decisions
where
we
would
bring
them
to
you
and
here's
an
a
and
a
b
option
pros
and
cons
and
those
kinds
of
things
so
that
we're
setting
the
stage
and
those
would
be
questions
that
are
coming
either
from
our
stakeholder
residents.
Our
consultant
team.
You
know
people
with
far
more
expertise
than
me
in
building
these
particular
projects
as
well.
M
So
that's
one
of
the
reasons
we
leaned
on
the
star
early
on
is
they
are
that
consultant
type
that
has
seen
and
done
a
lot
of
this,
but
by
all
means
we
can
also
entertain,
as
we
discuss
among
ourselves.
Are
there
other
specialist,
either
sub-consultants
or
other
outside
perspectives
that
we
can
bring
into
that
process?
M
I
feel
like
we
really
do
have
a
good
team
between
a
provider
with
experience,
a
consultant
whose
expertise
is
in
this
area,
county
partners
etc,
which
include
other
county
personnel
by
the
way
that
you
know
also
kind
of
do
this
and
have
seen
it
multiple
times.
But
absolutely
we
can
look
at
it,
whether
or
not
there's
a
need
to
augment
that
team.
Further
with
other
niche
expertise.
N
O
A
My
colleagues
have
done
a
great
job
of
asking
most
everything
I
could
think
of,
but
linda
could
you
as
quickly
as
possible,
just
walk
us
through
how
individuals
come
to
you
the
first
time
for
services
and
walk
us
through
what
happens
in
approximately
the
first
24-48
hours
that
you
they
are
on
your
campus.
R
Okay,
well
I
mean
I
can
speak
to
martha's
and
a
lot
of
some
of
it
comes
through
direct
referral.
Just
last
night
we
had
domestic
violence,
so
we
had
two.
So
it
depends
on
the
situation,
but
this
I
think
some
of
it
will
come
through
coordinated
entry
through
vi's
for
that
again,
I'm
speaking
my
language,
the
housing
language
right,
but
I
can
say
that
we
do
thorough
intakes
and
we
do
an
assessment
at
the
very
beginning.
R
We
need
to
know
about
this
person,
but
we
do
a
series
of
what
we
call
touches
right
to
gain
the
person's
to
put
the
person
at
ease
and
to
interact
with
us,
but
I
have
always
felt
that
a
person
that's
homeless-
they
can
be
depressed
stressed.
R
While
gathering
the
information,
I
have
to
say
that
one
of
the
main
things
about
martha's
is
that
the
client
actually
helps
to
drive
and
blaze
their
own
trail.
We
do
a
set
of
what's
called
housing
plans,
doesn't
mean
you're,
going
to
run
out
and
get
a
house
today.
But
what
are
the
first
three
steps
and
no
more
than
three
steps.
Do
you
take
right?
You
don't
overwhelm
and
you
they
have
the
supportive
staff.
R
We
have
a
lot
of
things
and-
and
I
have
been
reading
a
lot
about
the
particular
funding
that
we're
looking
at
right
now,
which
is
homekey
that
we'll
have
to
adhere
to,
but
there's
a
way
to
do
it,
which
is,
I
think,
very
evident
from
our
outcomes
that
we're
very
effective
with
the
human
individual
that
we're
working
with
and
keeping
it
within
the
guidelines.
R
R
R
So
they
go
on
what
we
call
compensation
track
so
that
our
case
managers
can
help
them
with
their
social
security
and
disability,
could
be
state,
could
be
social
security,
disability,
a
lot
of
people,
don't
realize
we
get
them
where
they've
been
in
jail
for
maybe
six
months
and
everything
gets
caught
up.
They
don't
know
how
to
get
their
money
back.
M
If
I
could
add
one
quickly,
we've
been
having
meetings
and
convening
meetings
of
service
providers
and
other
partners
like
the
county
for
a
number
of
months
now,
and
I
think
what
we've
all
learned
during
that
process
is,
we
really
do
need
to
move
to
a
more
integrated
service
delivery
model.
M
There
are
a
lot
of
kind
of
diffuse
resources
out
there
and,
as
we
started
coming
together
and
comparing
notes,
we
even
started
realizing
that,
for
instance,
more
than
one
agency
has
acquired
a
mobile
health
unit,
but
they
weren't
deployed
in
such
a
way
that
it
was
coordinated
so
while
linda
might
have
one
throughout
the
valley.
If
someone
else
has
one
dedicated
to
palm
springs
on
a
certain
day,
she
can
use
hers
in
another
side
of
the
valley
that
same
day,.
M
To
create
a
common
resource
material,
so
we're
actually
building
a
website
and
a
business
card
with
a
qr
code
that
would
have
one
consolidated
set
of
resources
so
that
no
matter
what
the
touch
point
is
linda's
described
a
lot
of
per
touch
points,
but
we
have
touch
points
with
police.
We
have
touch
right
merchants.
We
have
touch
points
with
hoteliers.
M
M
How
does
the
county
bring
behavioral
health
or
substance
counseling
and
things
like
that
to
the
table,
and
how
do
we
integrate
those
resources,
so
they're
not
just
out
there
as
disparate
things,
but
coordinated,
so
so
they're
we're
doing
a
lot
more
than
just
this
to
make
all
of
this
work
in
the
community.
R
R
We
know
where
our
limitations
are
and
if
we
have
a
gap,
we
feel
it
right
and
that's
and
is:
was
that
jacob
and
his
from
our
meetings,
jay
yeah
yeah,
I'm
glad
you
guys,
yeah,
that's
a
great
idea,
the
touch
point
and
the
the
barcode
that's
going
to
be
amazing.
It
really
is.
A
Let
me
ask
last
question
and
mitch
and
stephan
you've
been
patiently
waiting.
One
of
the
this
is
a
really
broad
question
and
I'll
ask
you
to
answer
it
as
promptly
as
you
can,
but
one
of
the
lessons
I've
certainly
learned
is,
however,
well-intentioned
various
homeless
providers.
A
R
Oh,
I
think
you're
on
the
right
track,
because
you're
taking
a
broad
view,
you're,
actually
identifying
relevant
gaps,
many
times
programs
and
things
will
come
into
inception,
based
on
only
one
person's
view.
R
Right
could
be
the
ceo
and
you
have
to
have
a
broad
range
of
input,
and
one
of
the
best
forms
of
input
is
guess.
What
is
that
client
that
needs
the
help?
What
works
for
them,
what
they
are
willing
to
buy
into
right
and
to
do
the
work
to
remove
themselves
from
homelessness?
R
R
R
R
R
There
was
no
bus.
Stop
first
thing
out
of
my
mouth.
When
I
was
asked
about
this
particular
property
was
how
far
away-
and
I
know
I
asked
this
of
more
than
one
of
you-
how
far
away
was
the
nearest
bus
stop
six
blocks
is
nothing.
I
know
as
a
teenager.
I
walked
a
mile
and
a
half
to
school
and
made
it,
and
so
it's
it's
a
good
location.
R
S
Had
america
would
be
happy
to
to
add
our
perspective
from
from
sort
of
a
best
practices
point
and
and
from
an
overall
point,
I
I
think
that
the
city
is
at
a
unique
crossroads
right
now,
all
the
things
that
have
been
described
about
the
unique
funding,
the
the
unique
opportunity
with
the
site
to
me
that
the
unique
support
in
the
community
and
the
nuanced
understanding
on
the
part
of
the
city
staff
and
of
the
council
of
what
it
really
takes
to
deliver
successful
services.
S
So
my
my
shorter
answer
to
are
you
on
the
right
track
and
why
will
it
work
is
basically
what
I
just
said.
There
are
initiatives
underway
at
the
state
that
are
requiring
that
navigation,
centers
projects
like
this
get
implemented
with
commitments
to
best
practices.
The
city
has
indicated
their
support
for
implementing
with
best
practices.
S
The
things
that
that
linda
has
described
are
the
things
that
help
as
much
as
possible
to
guarantee
success
with
a
very
difficult
population,
and
those
are
things
that
are
being
built
into
the
home
ke2
application
and
are
being
required
by
the
state.
I
I
hope
that
was
a
short-ish
answer,
and
I
hope
that
that
was
a
helpful
answer.
A
G
Close
well,
I
just
want
a
couple
more
questions
that
are
really
quick
and
then
we
can
open
the
discussion.
I
I
so
appreciate
everyone
talking
about
sustainable
financing
so
that
we
have
this.
I
think
greg
you
hit
the
nail
on
the
head.
We
really
need
to
make
sure
we
have
sustainable
financing
that
this
doesn't
fail
us.
So
thank
you
for
that.
I
would
like
to
know
you
know
we.
G
If
this
is
approved
tonight,
we
close
escrow,
I
think
as
soon
as
tomorrow,
and
then
we
start
the
process
and
that
process,
I
think,
like
councilmember
hostage
said,
is
probably
an
enigma
to
most
of
the
world
that
wants
to
be
involved.
When
how
soon
can
people
expect
to
be
involved
in
the
upfront
work?
That's
going
to
be
done
and.
O
M
Q
Thank
you,
mr
city
manager.
There
there's
a
very
detailed
draft
scope
prepared.
We
were
just
waiting
to
hear
back
from
the
council,
see
if
there
were
any
additional
items
to
be
added
in,
and
I
think
mitch
and
stefan
got
an
earful
and
have
a
good
idea
of
how
to
wrap
up
the
plans
for
reaching
out
to
the
community
and
what
to
include
so
they're
ready
to
go.
They
they
keep
saying.
Well,
what
else
do
we
need
to
do?
Q
And
it's
always
we
need
to
get
more,
a
little
more
feedback
from
the
city
council,
so
we
can
go
on
and
do
that
assuming
approval
of
these
items
tonight.
I
also
want
to
add
that
you
know
that
would
start
engaging
the
community
again.
One
of
the
reasons
for
bringing
the
service
provider
on
as
soon
as
possible
is
also
to
start
fundraising
as
soon
as
possible.
So
that
will
be
the
the
main
role
they
will
play
in
the
initial
few
months
and
probably
ongoing
and
also
to
point
out.
Q
You
know
the
home
key
two
funds:
they
they
have
a
specific
performance,
scheduled
performance
and
when
city
attorney
ballinger
read
off
the
dates
for
the
expenditures
from
the
county
loan,
they
were
very,
very
generous.
Q
The
state
of
california
is
looking
for
a
performance
within
12
months
of
notification,
of
an
award
so
and
what
that
means
is
that
aspect
that
council
member
all
hostage
referred
to
as
bringing
on
that
builder?
We
do
have
a
very
good
starting
point.
Q
Lasar
has
several
resources
they've
sketched
out
some
possible
layouts
for
this
facility.
We
know
that
you
know,
could
very
well
be
modular
housing
and
make
up
a
component
of
it,
and
so
that
can
be
installed
relatively
quickly.
There
are
certain
elements,
the
landscaping
and
the
build
out
of
the
facilities
and
what
services
will
be.
Where
again,
we
have
ms
barack
available
to
help
us
design
that
the
community
will
definitely
be
a
part
of
that
conversation
and
we'll
be
moving
very
fast.
G
Q
F
H
F
H
F
H
Sort
of
forums
others
are
going
to
be
in
person
so
again
a
variety
of
different
ways
that
the
community
can
can
offer
their
input.
We're
also
looking
to
establish
you
know
a
way
or
an
email
and
a
phone
number
for
people
to
be
able
to
call
in
or
provide
some
of
that
feedback.
So
that
is
going
to
be
established
within
the
next.
You
know
month
or
so
I
think
at
the
at
the
latest,
but
just
working
with
the
city
staff
to
to
get
that
solidified.
G
Great,
thank
you.
It's
great
to
hear
it's
going
to
be
robust.
I
think
that's
what
people
are
the
delay,
fears
and
have
them
involved
greg.
Can
I
just
two
more
questions,
but
great,
can
I
go
back?
You
know
that
we
talked
a
lot,
so
I
maybe
zoned
out
a
minute,
there's
80
units
that
are
going
to
be
proposed
that
are
transitional
housing
units
as
we're
looking
for
permanent
housing
and
there's
how
many
beds
like
if
somebody
comes
in
like
what
linda
talked
about
how
many
beds
are
there
going
to
be
so.
O
So
in
the
80
units
of
the
transitional
housing,
if
you're
going
to
test
my
memory
here,
sorry
dennis
councilman
we're
sorry.
We
there
are
five
units
that
will
be
primarily
two
bedroom
units
so
that
we
can
accommodate
families.
If
you
look
at
the
point
in
time,
count
in
palm
springs
and
and
lyndon.
I
can
go
back
and
forth
on
this,
but
we
have
far
more
that
are
individual
seniors.
O
Excuse
me,
so
we
have
set
aside
so
you're.
Looking
at
probably
you
know
two
to
four
beds
within
those
two
bedroom
units
we've
also
set
aside:
15
percent
of
the
units
for
tay
or
transitional
age
youth
which
are
18
to
24,
primarily
exiting
out
of
foster
care
system.
So
you're,
probably
roughly
looking
at
in
the
in
the
transitional,
housing
or
interim
housing,
is
about
120
beds.
O
G
Okay,
and
so
somebody
who
comes
in
in
that
situation,
if
they're
spending
the
night
and
leaving
but
linda's
capturing
them
and
getting
statistics
and
whatnot,
but
can
they
spend
more
than
one
night
there
do
they
have
to
leave
the
property
every.
O
R
G
G
There
was
a
concern,
or
there
was
some
stuff
voiced
that
you
know
this
is
going
to
be
a
magnet
for
dumping
like
what
we
experienced
maybe
a
couple
years
ago,
and
that's
my
last
question:
can
you
just
address
that
a
little
bit.
O
Yes
and
great
question
councilmember
woods
and
I'll,
even
I
will
refute
that
even
a
couple
years
ago
there
was
not
dumping,
but
besides
that
point
is
if,
if
you
do
look
and
again
through
the
research
that
I've
done-
and
you
heard
other
comments
tonight-
is
that
that's
not
what
actually
happens
and
we
can
actually
set
preferences
on
the
clientele
that
we
serve.
O
I
cannot
guarantee
you
that
there
will
never
be
somebody
from
indio
or
coachella
that
will
enter
that
facility,
but
I,
but
I
am
confident
in
guaranteeing
that
the
vast
majority
of
the
services
and
the
operation
of
the
navigation
center
are
focused
primarily
on
palm
springs
residents
and
I've.
Seen
mitch
may
be
able
to
add
on
to
this.
So.
S
Yeah
and
greg-
I
absolutely
agree
with
what
you
just
said.
I
think
that
sort
of
the
general
point
that
I
would
add
to
it
is
somebody
said
earlier.
People
experiencing
homelessness
are
people.
People
have
community,
I
I
have
community,
you
have
community
if
I've
got
the
choice
of
going
somewhere.
I
want
to
be
somewhere
where
I
have
my
community.
S
So
the
the
people
who
are
going
to
choose
to
come
to
palm
springs
for
services
are
going
to
be
primarily
people
who
have
community
in
the
area.
It's
not.
We
don't
see
sort
of
nationally.
We
don't
see
trends
that
say
that
service
centers
become
magnets
for
people.
People
really
want
to
be
where
they
have
their
own
communities.
O
And
if
I
could
just
the
last
point
on
this
too,
is
that
councilmember
woods
is
that
I
I
know-
and
I
hear
this
through
cv-
housing
first
program
through
jewish
family
services
through
our
county
behavioral
health
outreach
workers
that
actually
encounter
homeless
individuals
on
the
streets
of
palm
springs
that
are
willing
to
take
services,
but
they
don't
want
to
go
to
india.
So
if
there
was
a
facility
in
palm
springs,
they
would
go
right.
R
So
we
I
can
tell
you
the
stats
about
40
percent
of
the
people
that
martha
serves
to
do
come
from
the
west,
but
a
lot
of
them
are
your
seat.
They
need
to
desperately
get
off
the
street
and
what
we
have
to
do
is
say:
okay,
we're
going
to
zero
in
on
your
employment,
for
you
to
go
back
to
your
community,
which
is
palm
springs
and
find
your
employment
there,
and
once
you
find
your
employment,
then
we're
going
to
zero
on
finding
your
home
in
palm
springs.
R
If
they
have
children,
we
make
sure
that
their
children
stay
enrolled
in
palm
springs,
so
we
transport
so
there's
a
lot.
There's
a
big
thing.
I
think
about
all
that
you're
really
going
to
see
is
maybe
some
overlap
from
cathedral
city
and
dhs.
But
that's
normal!
That's
going
to
be
on
your
normal
corridor.
R
I
don't
think
you're
going
to
get
people
from
you
know
we
used
to
have
one
gentleman
that
would
spend
he
was
homeless,
spend
his
winters
here
and
his
summers
in
montana,
but
there
aren't
many
of
them,
and
you
know
that
was
just
the
way
they
lived.
You
know,
but
there's
not
a
lot
of
that,
but
I
do
think
you're
not
you're,
going
to
see
some
from
cathedral
city
and
dhs.
Q
Council
and-
and
I
would
just
add,
an
unprecedented
amount
of
funding-
is
being
made
available
throughout
the
state
to
address
homelessness.
So
many
other
cities
are
doing
exactly
what
you're
doing
so
the
need
there
will
be
many
more
resources
to
meet
the
need
and
less
need
to
have
individuals
travel
across
counties
to
find
assistance.
So
I'll
just
say,
a
1.45
billion
dollars
is
available
through
just
the
home
key
to
funding,
and
we
hear
there's
going
to
be
more
funding
becoming
available
and
in
our
region,
which
is
the
southern
california
region.
Q
123
million
dollars
is
what
we're
competing
for.
So
if,
if
we
get
20
million
of
that,
there's
still
100
billion
dollars
being
invested
with
other
communities
in
our
region
to
address
homelessness.
A
Is
it
councilmember
woods,
okay,
great
mayor
pro
tem?
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you.
I
hope
that
we
can
I'll
wrap
this
up.
It's
very
clear
that
you
all
know
quite
a
bit
and
have
a
lot
of
wisdom
to
share,
and
I
I
appreciate
that
we
could
have
had
this
as
the
only
thing
on
our
agenda.
I
do
want
to
raise
some
resident
concerns
that
I
know
all
of
you
have
heard,
but
I
want
to
raise
them
again
for
those
residents
that
are
watching
this
meeting
that
didn't
watch
the
other
meetings.
There's
a
lot.
C
I'm
grateful
that
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
outreach
moving
forward
residents
are
so
regularly
telling
me
that
they
didn't
have
enough
outreach
to
begin
with
that.
There
was
not
enough
and
that
even
just
since
our
first
meeting
on
this
to
now,
there
wasn't
a
whole
lot.
They
were
looking
for.
So
I
was
having
conversations
with
residents,
but
they
wanted.
They
were
think
they
thought
from
that.
First,
video
they
were
going
to
have.
C
C
There
are
very
real
concerns
based
on
past
interactions,
for
why
there's
a
lack
of
trust
right
now
in
this
project,
and
especially
in
this
project
generally
and
in
this
project
at
this
location,
and
those
are
real
concerns
there
was
there-
was
an
actual
bus,
stop
that
was
moved
due
to
you
know
the
in-house
causing
issues
with
school
bus.
Stop.
So
there's
there
are
things
the
real
things.
C
The
other
issue
is
that
consistent
funding-
and
this
is
something
I
raised
at
that
very
first
meeting-
was
that
I
I
still
feel
very
strongly
that
as
a
city
of
palm
springs,
if
we're
going
to
be
moving
forward
on
this
project,
that
we
have
to
take
the
responsibility
to
say
it.
Even
if
everything
doesn't
work
out,
we
don't
get
any
grants.
C
The
county
just
says:
forget
you
no
offense
greg
that
that
we
say
this
is
important
enough
to
us
that
we
will
maintain
this,
that
we
will
keep
this
going,
and
I
think
we
really
have
to
be
clear
that
we'll
do
that
and
that,
if
we
see
problems
that
we
know,
we
can
hire
more
staff
to
handle
or
consultant
to
handle
or
whatever
it
is,
or
that
martha's
needs
more
staff,
that
we
are
able
to
fund
that
and
that
we
are
prioritizing
that
so
that
this
can
be
the
best
center
and
the
least
amount
of
issues.
C
You
know
for
our
community
and
the
highest
quality
of
services
to
those
that
are
using
it
and
then
that
there
is
appropriate
security
and
that's
not
just
in
the
security
guards
that
will
be
on
site,
but
that's
also
with
making
sure
that
we
have
additional
security
if
needed
around
the
area,
that
we
have
enough
officers
to
facilitate
that
or,
like
we've
talked
about
social
workers.
That
could
be
doing
that
work.
C
C
There's
dave's
towing,
there's
tower
market,
we're
talking
to
all
of
these
people
and
making
a
one-on-one
connection
so
that
there
is
a
point
person
at
each
of
these
places
that
the
numbers
are
being
given,
but
then
also
that
we
have
had
a
position
for
over
two
years
now
for
someone
who
specifically
works
on
homelessness
services,
we've
identified
several
times
that
jay
varada
is
doing
multiple
jobs
in
our
city.
C
I
would
like
to
see
that
position
that
we
have
been
looking
for
to
be
posted
on
our
website
again
and
for
us
to
do
another
search
so
that
we
can
get
that
person
in
and
they
can
be
coordinating
with
the
county
with
the
city,
with
martha's,
with
the
community
and
being
able
to
make
this
very
successful
and
then
then
the
other
thing
is
the
child
care
funding.
C
I
know
that
I
think
it's
really
important,
that
we
have
that
child
care
component
on
site-
and
I
know
that's
probably
not
going
to
be
the
very
first
thing,
so
I
want
to
be
able
to
again
prioritize
getting
that
up
and
running
at
that
navigation
center.
C
Lastly,
I
just
want
to
reiterate
that
I
still
stand
by
my
original
vote.
That
is
no
on
this
location.
I
still
stand
with
my
residents
on
that,
but
I
enthusiastically
support
martha's
as
a
provider.
I
want
martha's
as
a
provider
for
our
services
regardless,
so
I
just
want
to
have
that
noted
that
I
that
it
is
a
split
vote
since
I
know
there
are
multiple
items
I
don't
for
brevity.
I
don't
want
us
to
have
to
vote
on
every
single
thing,
but
I
do
want
that
noted
and
noted
on
behalf
of
my
residents.
C
J
Course,
thank
you
mayor
and
a
lot's
been
said,
and
I
think
this
has
really
been
just
a
great
presentations
from
everyone,
a
great
discussion,
great
questions
and
responses,
because
I
think
it
provides
an
extraordinary
amount
of
information
for
the
public.
And
so
just
a
few
comments
one.
You
know.
The
concerns
that
have
been
raised
are
understandable,
right
prior
to
martha's
being
at
the
access
center
and
at
the
methodist
church.
J
People
had
not
experienced
a
provider
or
we
didn't
have
significant
secondary
impacts,
and
I
think
martha's
has
shown
that
that
can
be
done,
and
I
really
appreciate
you
know,
having
had
the
some,
the
warm
weather
which
we
extended
and
thank
you
for
extending
that
as
well.
J
You
know
in
my
district
on
the
border
of
midtown
and
movie
colony,
I
heard
from
folks
before
it
came
in
right
and
martha's
response
and
getting
to
be
volunteers,
but
I
went
by
almost
every
day
and
just
to
see
how
it
was
run
and
see
and
talk
to
some
of
the
folks
about
the
impacts
just
having
that
place
meant
to
them.
So
really
appreciate
you
stepping
up
so
quickly
and
stepping
up
and
taking
yet
another
project
on
in
our
city.
J
I
think
that's
so
important
that
this
is
run
in
the
way
that
you
run
projects
and
with
the
success
rates
you
have.
So
I
think
it's
really
important,
because
I
think
councilmember
woods
and
I,
when
there
was
going
to
be
100,
you
know
units
at
the
ivy
palm,
which
is
in
his
district
and
a
block
from
mine
and
about
a
10-minute
walk
from
my
house
on
the
way
when
I
used
to
walk
to
the
gym
pre-covered.
J
J
We
even
heard
them
on
you
know
the
two
recent
affordable
housing
projects
that
we
passed
that
have
that
will
house
unhoused
residents
would
wrap
around
services
right,
one
on
my
block,
literally
two
blocks
away
and
one
in
the
desert,
aids
project
area,
and
so
all
of
that
was
so
important
to
you
know,
have
the
operators
on
our
council
meetings
explaining
how
they'd
be
run
and
answering
those
questions,
because
we
have
had
really
good
experiences
with
our
affordable
housing
projects
overall
and
they
are
really
well-run.
J
So
I
wanted
to
share
that.
I
also
just
want
to
take
a
moment,
and
just
you
know
have
us
celebrate,
may
not
be
the
right
word,
but
when
we
think
the
10
million
dollars,
we
you
know,
were
able
to
get
when
only
the
big
13
cities
were
getting
any
funding
for
homelessness.
J
We
probably
leveraged
to
40
50
million
plus
right.
You
know
two
affordable
housing
projects
with
units
and
wrap-around
services
for
people
like
saying
homelessness,
and
now
this
I
mean
this
is
going
to
help
literally
hundreds
a
year
right
of
people,
get
off
the
streets
and
get
back
to
a
life
where
they
have
dignity
and
respect.
J
But
it's
really
come
together
and
I
just
want
to
take
that
moment
to
realize
you
know
all
that
work
over
the
years
is
really
resulting
in
something-
and
I
know
greg
you've
been
involved
from
day
one,
and
I
so
appreciate
your
passion
and
work
on
this,
and
it's
really
taken
all
of
this
to
get
here,
but
we're
actually.
What
we're
voting
on
tonight
is
really
achieving
such
an
important
piece
of
really
helping
folks
and
in
the
process
creating
the
kind
of
change
in
people's
lives
that
we
all
want
to
see
happen.
J
A
You
is
there
council,
member
hostage.
Did
you
have
anything
you
wanted
to
add.
N
Sure
thank
you
mayor
and
just
for
the
public
and
for
the
record
I've
been
sitting
here
this
whole
time.
I
apologize.
I've
gone
off
video,
I
have
a
sick
baby
who
is
up
all
night,
so
I'm
participating
in
this
meeting
and
I'm
here,
but
I
had
to
go
off
camera
a
few
times.
Thank
you
to
everyone
for
your
comments
and
yeah,
really
thank
you.
Greg
rodriguez
and
supervisor
perez's
office.
N
Greg
rodriguez
has
spearheaded
finding
a
navigation
center
in
the
western
coachella
valley
for
many
many
years,
and
none
of
this
work
would
be
happening,
but
for
greg
and
his
team,
and
it's
really
I
was
getting
a
little
emotional
greg
when
you
were
speaking
because
it
really
is
a
project
of
a
labor
of
love
by
just
a
few
people
to
make
this
happen,
which
is
just
so
incredible
in
our
community.
So
thank
you
to
greg.
N
The
data
does
not
show
that
affordable
housing
harms
a
nearby
community
or
the
property
values.
In
fact
it
enhances
it.
So
I
just
want
to.
This
is
a
little
bit
different.
You
know
this
isn't
probably
the
parcel
or
the
site.
I
would
pick
out
of
all
of
the
sites
if
we
could
pick
our
perfect
site
throughout
the
city.
N
I
don't
like
its
impact
and
you
know,
proximity
to
desert
highlands,
but
these
are
the
hard
decisions
that
people
elect
us
to
make
when
we
govern
the
city,
and
so
we
have
an
option
of,
are
we
going
to
have
a
navigation
center
that's
available
now?
That
is
a
good
match
for
what
the
county
and
other
stakeholders
are
looking
for.
N
N
I've
supported
that
councilmember
coors
and
has
supported
a
project
on
the
allo
project
for
affordable
housing
right
near
his
neighborhood
and
his
home.
The
last
shelter
was
at
palm
springs
high
school,
which
is
just
a
few
blocks
from
my
home.
So
and
just
to
say
you
know,
I've
asked
the
city
manager.
N
Could
we
put
up
units
next
to
the
boxing
club
on
lclo?
We
need
to
look
at
all
of
the
land
we're
in
an
extreme
housing
crisis.
We
are
in
an
extreme
homeless
crisis
and
it
is
just
going
to
get
worse,
and
so
we
have
to
do
everything
we
can
and
while
this
is
really
hard
and
no
decision
is
perfect
and
they
will
all
have
impacts,
I'm
really
committed
to
making
this
project
an
example
of
how
we
can
make
investments
in
community
that
will
benefit
the
community.
N
You
know
training,
programs
and
whatever
feedback
we
get
from
the
community
about
what
we
want
to
see
there,
and
I
hope
this
is
not
just
one
one
option,
but
we
will
continue
to
move
forward
on
other
housing
options
throughout
the
city
we
have
to,
and
so-
and
I
just
want
to
take
a
second
to
reflect
where
we
started,
because
when,
when
I
was
first
elected,
the
public
city
council
royce
has
had
closed.
N
Since
then,
you
know,
we've
tried
to
staff
up
solutions
and
greg's
worked
really
hard
to
scramble
every
summer
and
every
winter
and
same
as
linda,
but
we're
just
using
band-aids,
and
this
is
really
an
opportunity
to
radically
change
the
outcome
for
people
who
are
unhoused
in
the
entire
coachella
valley
and
that's
a
huge
opportunity
that
we
just
can't
waste
and
it's
incredible
the
progress
we've
done.
So
I
make
a
motion
to
move
staff
recommendation
what's
listed
in
the
staff
report.
N
I
did
also
want
to
lift
up.
I
like
council
member
folks,
comments
about
and
and
planning
commissioner
kathy
ware
mook's
comments
as
well.
You
know
looking
at
involvement
of
residence
and
in
a
committee
to
design
you
know
doing
quarterly,
or
you
know,
regular
reporting
and
those
types
of
feedback
that
is
in
the
staff
report.
I'd
love
to
have
the
group
explore
that.
But
with
that,
thank
you
to
greg
rodriguez
and
jay
and
justin.
I
mean
the
progress
we've
made
as
a
community
has
been
huge.
N
I
mean
a
few
years
ago
we
were
considering.
Should
we
sue
the
county,
because
you
know
the
county
is
responsible
for
homelessness
and
you're?
Not
doing
enough
and
our
residents
come
to
us
and
say
you're
not
doing
enough,
and
it's
all
true,
but
it's
it's
great,
to
see
this
level
of
collaborative
partnership
between
all
those
organizations,
and
I
think
that
if
we
include
the
residents
and
have
a
really
good
outreach
plan
for
the
design
and
the
implementation,
it
can
be
a
huge
success.
So
thank
you
to
everyone
for
your
work
on
this.
A
Let
me
just
add
very,
very
quickly:
we've
all
said
an
awful
lot
this
evening.
We
mean
it,
but
the
proof
that
we
mean
it
is
the
work
that
we
do
beginning
tomorrow
and
if
our
actions
back
up
the
commitments
that
we
have
made
this
evening,
we
will
have
improved
lives
for
hundreds,
if
not
thousands,
of
people
in
our
community,
not
only
those
who
are
homeless,
but
those
who
are
not.
A
B
B
And
mayor
middleton
aye
motion
passes
five
to
zero,
with
the
notation
that
grace
garner
council
member
mayor
pro
tem
gardner
votes,
no
on
the
purchase
portion
of
the
recommendation.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
Well,
we
have
certainly
had
a
really
good
discussion.
We're
gonna,
take
a
10
minute
break
and
reconvene
at
10
pm.
The
city
clerk
has
advised
me
that
we
do
not
have
any
general
public
comments.
So
when
we
come
back
at
10,
we
will
have
an
opportunity
to
decide
what
agenda
items
we're
going
to
finish
with
the
first
agenda
item
that
we
will
begin
with
after
we
have
a
discussion
of
what
we
will
go
forward
with
this
evening
is
city
council,
member
subcommittee
and
city
account
manager,
comments
and
reports.
A
So
with
that,
I
know
we'd
like
a
longer
break,
but
we're
getting
ten
minutes
and
then
we're
going
to
be
back.
Thank
you.
A
C
I
wanted
to
let
everybody
know
that
I'm
going
to
be
part
of
the
2022
southern
california,
association
of
governments,
riverside
county
housing
policy,
leadership
academy,
it's
a
mouthful,
but
I
thought
it
would
be
good
for
us
to
have
representation
on
that
and
I
shot
out
a
quick
application
last
week
and
very
luckily
got
chosen
so
I'll,
be
working
with
other
riverside
county
leaders
to
learn
more
about
housing.
C
C
I'm
glad
I
just
happened
to
see
it
and
and
apply,
but
I
hope
that
this
will
literally
be
going
on
all
year,
so
I'm
hoping
that
can
gain
some
good
knowledge
that
I
can
share
with
all
of
you
in
our
in
our
pursuit
of
affordable
housing
and
just
more
housing
generally
in
palm
springs.
Also
very
exciting
news.
They
started
to
build
the
bathrooms
at
the
desert
islands
community
center
park.
C
I
went
by
there
today
and
saw
it,
and
while
I
was
there,
I
talked
to
zeddy,
serenity
and
jason,
who
were
also
there
and
recognized
me
and
came
up
to
say
hello.
They
are
about
middle
school
age
and
they
requested
a
swimming
pool,
a
zip
line,
tire
swing
and
gymnastics
center.
So
I
told
them
that
I
would
share
that
with
all
of
you
and
I
do
hope
that
we
will
be
able
to
have
those
meetings
with
our
youth
about
what
they
want
to
see
at
our
city
park
soon.
C
C
The
other
thing
is
just
to
let
you
know
that
building
resilience
in
african
american
communities,
also
known
as
the
braf
program,
is
going
to
be
having
an
event.
It's
going
to
be
a
live,
african-american
museum,
the
children
at
the
center
are
going
to
be
embodying
the
you
know,
african-american
ancestors
and
you
will
be
able
to
go
in
and
say
I
want
to
hear
more
from
about
rosa
parks,
for
instance,
and
a
child
who
is
embodying
rosa
parks
will
then
give
a
presentation.
It's
going
to
be
really
cool.
C
It's
february,
19th
from
four
to
seven
you'll,
see
flyers
like
this
around.
So
if
they
look
very
colorful
like
that,
please
stop
and
take
a
look.
I'm
very
very
excited
for
this.
So
that's,
oh
and
the
black
history
awards
are
coming
up
on
saturday
february
4th,
so
there's
just
a
few
announcements.
Thank
you.
So
much.
J
I
did
not,
I
I
don't
think
so,
but
I
will
just
briefly,
since
you
saw
me
just
remind
folks
that
our
first
rock
the
park
concert,
which
is
a
eagles
tribute
band
and
they're
really
fun.
I've
heard
them
before
is
on
wednesday
next
week,
starting
at
7
p.m,
in
the
downtown
park
and
it's
being
produced
by
the
chamber
with
financial
support
from
the
city
and
ps
resorts,
and
I
think
our
small
hotel
t-bit
as
well.
N
I'm
continuing
to
convene
a
covid
working
group
every
other
week
with
the
hospitals,
service
providers,
healthcare
providers
like
dap
health,
senior,
centers
and
those
types
of
providers,
so
we're
working
on
how
to
continue
to
collaborate
as
we
deal
with
the
impacts
of
the
pandemic
in
our
community
council
member
course,
and
I
participated
in
a
meeting
with
cod
college
of
the
desert
board
of
trustees.
N
N
In
their
plan,
the
city
of
sacramento
is
doing
a
unique
plan
to
require
people
to
accept
housing,
to
do
a
policy
where
people
are
offered
three
housing
options,
but
then
they
are
sort
of
there's
an
additional
enforcement
mechanisms
if
they
don't
choose
to
accept
that
housing.
N
And
that's
all
I
have
oh
one
last
thing
for
my
for
my
district.
I
was
holding
monthly
district
meetings
for
a
long
time
I
think
over
a
year,
but
I've
moved
to
quarterly
meetings,
because
it's
a
lot
of
impact
on
city
staff
to
go
to
every
single
meeting.
So
we
will
report
the
next
upcoming
quarterly
district
4
meeting.
Thank
you
mayor.
M
Yes,
I
just
want
to
quickly
update
council
and
the
community
on
the
way
that
covet
is
currently
impacting
city
operations.
So
I
think
we
are
over
some
of
the
worst
of
the
surge,
not
only
among
community
members
but
our
team.
So
over
the
last
few
weeks
we
have
had
a
number
of
positive
cases
and
quarantines
and
all
the
things
that
come
from
that
it's
obviously
impacted
our
operations.
We
have
stopped
taking
walk-in
traffic,
although
we
are
still
accepting
appointments.
M
We've
had
isolated
additional
incidents
at
the
swim
center
and
other
places
that
have
impacted
our
staffing
levels
and
forced
us
to
close
certain
programs.
I'm
expecting
that
next
week
will
remain
mostly
remote
working
for
offices
and
still
closed
to
walk
in,
but
I'm
hoping
the
week
after
that,
we
will
resume
more
normal
operations,
so
want
to
thank
the
community
for
patience
as
we
go
through.
M
What
a
lot
of
community
members
and
people
across
the
country
in
the
world
have
gone
through
with
omicron,
hopefully
we're
on
the
right
side
of
a
downslope
to
that
trend
and
will
resume
things
normally
and
do
want
to
just
quickly.
Thank
the
team.
We've
been
shorthanded
in
police
and
fire
and
other
departments,
and
while
those
folks
have
been
out,
we've
had
others
step
up
to
continue
those
valuable
services
to
the
community.
So
hats
off
for
all
of
those
who
put
in
extra
effort.
G
The
council
as
a
whole
has
been
working
very
diligently
to
ensure
that
we
get
a
palm
springs
campus
for
cod
off
of
pacquits
and
I
have
been
participating
or
are
actually
not
participating
yet,
but
actually
monitoring
all
of
those
meetings
and
going
on
so
that
we
can,
you
know,
ensure
and
use
our
strategy
to
get
that
campus
here,
which
we'd
like
to
see.
It
would
be
a
great
asset
for
the
valley
and
a
great
asset
for
the
city
of
palm
springs.
I
want
to
thank
everyone.
G
I
had
a
a
tremendous
number
of
emails
regarding
the
navigation
center
city
services
this
week,
that
you
can
always
contact
me
through
the
city's
webpage.
My
email
address
is
there,
you
can
click
on
the
link
and
just
send
an
email
to
me
and
I'll
get
back
to
you
as
soon
as
I
possibly
can.
If
something
needs
researching,
it
might
take
a
little
bit
longer.
G
A
A
A
Lastly,
and
very
much
not
lastly,
this
afternoon
I
had
the
opportunity
frankly,
the
humbling
honor
to
represent
palm
springs
at
the
holocaust
memorial
conducted
in
palm
desert
today
is
the
77th
anniversary
of
the
liberation
of
the
auschwitz
death
camp.
A
A
A
The
testimony
and
the
comments
that
were
made
today
truly
were
moving,
and
all
of
us
were
reminded
both
of
our
species
capacity
for
evil,
as
well
as
humanity's
capacity
for
good.
Thank
you.
A
With
that,
we
need
to
make
a
decision
as
to
do
we
believe
we
can
go
through
with
all
of
the
agenda
items
that
are
left.
We
have
three
public
hearings,
a
legislative
update
and
one
other
new
business
item.
A
All
of
them
look
relatively
straightforward
to
me,
but
I'd
like
to
get
everybody
else's
opinion.
C
They
seem
straightforward
to
me
too
mayor,
I'm
I'm
willing
to
try.
J
I'm
fine
with
that
as
well.
I
will
note
the
desert
community
energy
item
is
a
time
sensitive
one,
so
we
do
need
to
get
to
that.
A
A
Right,
yes,
okay,
then
without
objection
we
will
move
forward
to
item
5b,
as
in
it's
too
late.
I've
lost
track
of
my
all
of
my
palm
springs
words
barista
barista.
Thank
you.
M
Thank
you,
mayor
and
council.
I'm
going
to
try
to
set
us
off
on
a
good
pace
to
get
the
rest
of
the
business
done
this
evening.
You
all
know
dce
desert
community
energy,
our
community
choice,
aggregation
joint
powers
authority,
so
that's
comprised
of
both
palm
springs
and
palm
desert
when
active
in
october
of
17.
M
This
is
basically
an
entity.
That's
able
to
source
alternative
energy
as
an
alternative
to
traditional
utility
billing
through
southern
california
edison
the
the
primary
impetus
for
that,
of
course,
was
carbon
free
power,
a
a
choice
that
or
a
selection
of
alternative
energy
that
all
of
our
residents
are
opted
into.
It's
been
really
a
powerful
force
in
offsetting.
Our
greenhouse
gas
emissions
in
2020
reduced
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
16,
equivalent
to
25
000
cars
being
taken
off
the
road.
So
that's
really
what
it's
all
about!
M
What
happens
with
a
new
entity
like
that
is
some
of
the
energy
is
purchased
through
long-term
investments?
Those
are
new
energy
generations,
projects
that
some
of
which
aren't
online
yet
and
so
to
fill
the
gap
for
the
energy
that's
needed.
That
is
not
yet
online
part
of
those
long-term
contracts.
They
buy
short-term
energy
and
those
contracts
are
a
little
more
volatile.
Last
year
in
particular,
we
had
hot
summer.
M
You
know
we
were
still
in
a
pandemic,
so
there
were,
you
know
billing
and
other
issues
and
and
ultimately
looking
forward,
there's
a
period
between
now
and
about
20,
23
and
24,
when
some
of
those
new
assets
come
online,
where
the
organization
just
doesn't
look
as
healthy
from
a
cash
flow
standpoint,
an
8
million
line
of
credit,
which
is
what
we're
asked
to
sign
on
to
we'll
do
a
couple
of
things.
M
First,
it
will
enable
dce
to
purchase
power
when
prices
are
good,
irrespective
of
how
the
revenues
are
coming
in
they'll
have
that
line
of
credit
that
they
can
lean
on.
Second,
it'll
mitigate
any
need
for
increases
to
the
cost
of
that
carbon
free
power,
and
we
have
an
interest
to
keep
the
the
premium
for
that
power
lower.
So
people
continue
to
utilize
it
and
we
get
the
greenhouse
gas
offsets,
which
is
really
the
rationale
for
this.
So
we
discussed
either
extending
a
loan
or
signing
onto
a
line
of
credit.
M
I
think
the
fact
that
we
were
able
to
do
this
through
signing
on
to
a
line
of
credit
is
ideal,
so
dce
can
draw
when
they
need
to
by
22
23
or
sorry
2324,
especially
as
the
outlook
suggests
that
net
revenues
will
be
10
to
20
million.
Dce
will
be
able
to
close
that
line
of
credit,
re-establish
surpluses
and
move
forward
with
a
great
deal
more
stability
as
those
long-term
energy
assets
come
online.
So,
with
that
said,
we're
asking
you
to
approve
this.
M
G
Banks-
I
guess
this
would
go
to
the
dce
staff
and
I
don't
know
if
skater
tom
are
they
online?
I
don't
see
the
mountain.
J
Council
members
on
justin,
katie
and
tom
are
not
available
at
this
time.
They
were
in
the
waiting
room
earlier.
They
are
no
longer
in
the
waiting
room.
Okay,.
M
G
I
think
I
think
you
can
answer
it.
Justin
one
of
the
questions
was
when
people
I
guess
I
only
have
two
questions-
is
that
the
revenues
were
projected
to
be
10
million.
The
net
revenue
is
10
million
this
year,
but
yet
20
million
next
year,
which
is
a
huge
jump.
If
somebody
read
that
staff
report-
and
can
you
just
outline
why
that
is
the
case.
M
Sure
so
what
you
want
is
for
your
rate
to
be
fairly
stable,
but
again
those
short-term
energy
contracts
are
a
little
more
volatile
right.
So,
ultimately,
right
now
you
know,
as
those
energy
prices
fluctuates,
a
line
of
credit
will
enable
dce
to
again
buy
energy
at
the
best
possible
price,
but
by
23
24
when
some
of
those
long-term
energy
contracts,
those
investments
in
new
generation
come
online.
Those
are
locked
in
prices
right,
so
that
volatility
goes
away
and
more
of
the
energy
portfolio
is
stable,
so
the
rate
that's
being
collected
today.
M
N
A
A
second
all
right,
thank
you.
Further
discussion.
A
Well,
let
me
jump
in,
I
think
what
we've
done
with
dce
is
one
of
the
achievements
of
the
council
and
the
commitment
of
palm
springs
to
acting
responsibly
to
resolve
climate
change.
In
just
the
first
year
that
we
were
operating,
the
equip
we
eliminated
the
equivalent
of
25
000
cars
being
on
the
road,
and
that
was
a
very
heavy
commitment
of
our
residents
and
of
our
businesses.
A
This
energy
is
costing
us
more
than
what
we
anticipated
would
when
we
first
started,
because
we
have
a
a
couple
of
years
in
which
it
has
been
extremely
hot,
but
we've
also
had,
at
the
same
time,
far
less
people
traveling
because
of
covid
and
staying
home
and
just
simply
using
energy
in
more
days
and
weeks
during
the
course
of
the
year.
A
There's
good
reasons
to
believe
this
market
will
stabilize
not
every
one
of
our
residents
and
businesses
can
afford
to
pay
the
premium.
That
needs
to
be
paid
right
now
to
be
a
part
of
the
green
energy
program
and
there's
absolutely
no
shame
whatsoever.
A
If
you
are
one
of
those
individuals
in
opting
down
to
the
desert
saver
program,
but
for
vast
vast
numbers
of
us,
we
can
afford
the
differential
and
that
additional
price
that
we
are
paying
and
this
additional
commitment
we're
making
by
co-signing
alone,
is
head
and
shoulders
above.
What
anyone
else
in
our
region
is
doing
to
have
a
positive
impact
on
climate
change
and
I'm
very
proud
of
being
in
a
city
where
we're
willing
to
make
that
commitment.
A
If
there
are
no
other
comments,
then
call
for
a
roll
call
come
to
member
hostage.
L
A
You,
let's
move
on
or
move
back
to,
item
2
a
or
excuse
me:
we've
dropped
item
2a
from
our
agenda.
So
now
we
will
go
to
item
2b,
a
request
by
the
city
of
palm
springs,
for
adoption
of
an
ordinance
to
implement
senate
bill
nine
requirements
for
urban
lot,
splits
and
two
unit
residential
developments.
Staff
report.
Please.
K
K
This
is
going
through
the
regular
adoption
process
for
an
ordinance
so
that
we
take
public
input
in
terms
of
adopting
the
ordinance
itself.
By
way
of
background,
the
planning
commission
did
review
this
at
their
meeting
last
night.
They
recommended
approval
by
a
vote
of
six
to
zero,
while,
unfortunately,
we
did
not
receive
any
public
input.
At
that
meeting,
we
have
received
two
letters
with
recommendations
in
terms
of
changes
that
we
might
consider
relative
to
these
requirements
for
urban
lot,
splits
into
unit
development.
K
The
subcommittee
meetings
will
be
brown
act
meetings,
we'll
invite
stakeholders
and
members
of
the
public
to
offer
their
suggestions,
in
addition
to
the
public
comment,
letters
that
we've
already
received
so
with
that,
madam
mayor
members
of
council.
That
concludes
my
staff
report
to
you
happy
to
answer
any
questions
and
would
seek
your
support.
Thank
you.
A
I
don't
see
any
and
I
know
we've
had
extensive
conversation
in
the
past.
So
are
there
any
public
comments,
mr
mohamed.
A
There
being
no
other
speakers,
the
public
hearing
is
now
closed.
Is
there
any
additional
discussion
or
is
there
a
motion
to
approve
council
member
woods.
G
I
would
make
a
motion
to
approve
staff
recommendation
with
one
addition
that
I
talked
about
last
time
and
staff
had
agreed
to
is
under
the
recommendation.
I'd
like
to
add
a
third
one,
there's
one
two
I'd
like
to
add
three:
that
staff
begin
developing
design
standards
for
this,
so
that
we
can
maintain
the
character
of
our
neighborhoods,
and
I
talked
enough
about
it
last
time,
but
I'd
like
to
add
that
in
so
that
would
be
my
motion.
J
A
A
motion
in
a
second
roll
call:
please.
E
B
Middleton
aye
and
I'll
read
the
ordinance
title,
which
is
an
ordinance
of
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
palm
springs.
California
amending
chapter
9.62
of
the
palm
springs
municipal
code
in
chapter
93.00
of
the
palm
springs,
zoning
code
relating
to
urban
lot,
splits
and
two
unit
projects
in
determining
the
ordinance
to
be
exempt
from
sequa.
Thank
you.
A
H
Good
evening,
madam
mayor,
the
item
before
the
council
tonight
is
a
brown
hearing
for
the
airport's
proposal
to
adopt
a
resolution
increasing
the
airport
customer
facility
charge
under
the
allowable
limits
of
california
code,
section
50474..
H
The
charge
is
collected
for
landside
use
only
and
is
specifically
used
for
the
construction
of
the
rental
car
facilities
and
conveyance
systems.
The
current
cfc
charge
is
10
per
rental
car
agreement
transaction.
H
The
airport
is
proposing
to
increase,
to
increase
the
fee
to
nine
dollars
per
day
for
a
maximum
of
five
days,
which
would
be
a
total
of
forty
five
dollars
per
transaction
under
state
law.
The
purpose
of
the
increase
would
be
to
find
a
consolidated
rental
park
facility
on
the
airport
campus
to
both
demand,
both
current
demand
and
demand
for
the
year
2040..
H
The
rental
car
facility
was
initially
proposed
to
council
in
2019
under
director
tom
nolan,
as
a
collaborative
effort
between
the
airport
environmental
companies.
H
Since
that
time,
various
analysis
has
been
completed
to
determine
a
conceptual
design,
estimated
costs
and
funding
mechanism
associated
with
the
anticipated
construction
costs
would
be
potential
cost
of
demolishing
and
relocating
the
general
aviation
customs
and
water
facility.
H
As
well
as
the
current
uso
facility,
the
project
would,
however,
enable
the
airport
to
meet
increasing
passenger
demand,
particularly
in
the
baggage
plane
area
of
the
terminal
under
director,
nolan
and
subsequently,
director
of
yuri.
It
is
our
understanding
that
the
rental
car
companies
have
been
consulted
and
were
involved
in
the
process
fully
to
date
and
on
the
line
we
have
recondo
and
associates
associates.
Who
is
the
consultant
hired
by
the
airport
to
present
on
these
matters
and
conduct
that
analysis?
A
All
right,
thank
you.
Are
there
any
questions
for
mr
barrett
or
for
mr
elliott
or
mr
gregor.
A
B
Robert
robert,
could
you
reduce
the
volume
in
the
background?
Yes,
okay,
thank
you.
Robert
hunsinger
you're
live
with
the
palm
springs
city
council,
and
you
have
two
minutes
to
provide
your
comments.
P
Mayor
mayor
pro
10
city
council
members,
my
name
is
robert
hunsinger
with
enterprisehold,
and
I'm
joining
you
on
behalf
of
the
enterprise
rent-a-car
company
of
los
angeles
llc,
which
operates
the
enterprise
alamo,
and
national
rent-a-car
grants
at
the
palm
springs.
International
airport
enterprise's
goal
in
speaking
today
is
simply
to
let
this
council
know
that
enterprise
is
engaged,
that
we
are
listening
and
that
enterprise
remains
supportive
of
the
development
of
a
future
consolidated
rental
car
facility,
as
well
as
in
support
of
a
prudent
and
reasonable
increase
to
the
customer
facility
charge
at
the
airport.
P
Enterprise
would
like
to
share
with
share
with
you.
I'm
sorry.
Enterprise
would
like
to
share
that
enterprise
appreciates
the
accurate
and
thorough
summary
of
the
position
of
our
position
by
the
airport
staff,
including
within
the
board
report,
and
that
while
enterprise
continues
to
stand
behind
these
concerns,
enterprise
remains
committed
to
the
partnership
with
the
city
of
palm
springs
and
looks
forward
to
working
with
airport
staff
to
improve
the
future
experience
of
our
shared
customers.
B
A
All
right,
thank
you.
There
being
no
other
speakers.
The
public
hearing
is
now
closed.
Is
there
a
discussion
questions
or
is
there
a
motion.
H
C
A
All
right,
we
will
now
move
on
to
item
3a,
which
is
a
legislative
item,
and
this
is
consideration
of
an
ordinance
amending
the
palm
springs
municipal
code
related
to
unintended
attended
animals
in
enclosed
vehicles.
First
reading
and
introduction
of
the
ordinance
I'd
like
to
ask
for
the
staff
report.
B
B
The
guide
dogs
of
the
desert
are
seeking
a
similar
exemption
to
allow
them
to
take
their
dogs
into
high
activity.
Training
areas
such
as
the
downtown
their
vehicles
have
been
outfitted
with
specialized
remote
temperature
monitoring
systems,
including
automatic
safety
features
in
the
event
of
a
system.
Failure
the
chief
of
police
and
his
staff
have
inspected
these
training
vehicles
and
confirmed
that
the
equipment
meets
or
exceeds
the
regular
standards
for
k-9
police
vehicles.
B
If
adopted,
the
proposed
ordinance
would
authorize
the
chief
of
police
to
issue
a
permit
subject
to
conditions
of
approval
to
allow
this
type
of
activity.
The
conditions
of
approval
may
include
prohibiting
leaving
unattended
animals
and
vehicles
during
extreme
heat
conditions
and
requiring
annual
inspection
of
the
equipment
and
I'm
available
for
any
questions.
J
I
just
have
one
comment
and
I,
which
is
or
a
question-
and
this
makes
a
lot
of
sense,
but
you
know
we're
starting
to
see
cars
that
have
you
know
dog
modes
that
keep
the
cars
cool
with
a
remote
notification
right
teslas
have
them.
I
think
there
are
some
others
have
them.
Is
there
a
reason
we
wouldn't
want
to
have
the
police
be
able
to
look
at
models
and
allow
them
in
those
situations
as
well?
Just
while
we're
doing
this,
instead
of
bringing
something
new
back.
B
My
understanding
is
state
law
allows
for
for
re,
not
for
any
regular
citizen
to
essentially
break
into
a
vehicle
break
the
window
if
they
see
an
unattended
animal
in
the
car
and
that
the
tesla
or
other
similar
dog
modes
don't
qualify
for
that,
and
so
the
fear
would
be
that
somebody
passing
by
might
still
break
into
that
person's
vehicle
versus
creating
a
very
specific
exemption
for
something
like
animal
control,
police
dogs
and
the
guide
dogs
of
the
desert.
But
we
can
certainly
ask
the
police
and
other
city
attorney
to
look
at
that
option.
B
J
Yeah,
I
think
it'd
be
worth
just
finding
out,
because
you
know
technology
has
changed
a
lot
since,
since
you
know
since
the
time-
and
so
we
should
just
look
into
what
options
there
may
be,
I
know
I've
seen
people
with
you
know
they
put.
They
have
signs
in
their
cars.
That
say,
you
know
dog
mode
on
and
things
like
that,
so
people
don't
break
the
windows,
but
it
would
be.
I
appreciate
if
we
could
look
into
that.
At
least
okay.
A
Do
we
have
a
second
and
I'll?
Second,
the
motion
all
right,
thank
you,
and
I
will
second
councilmember
coors
comment
that
we
should
study
whether
or
not
we
can
broaden
this
application.
But
what
guide
dogs
is
proposing
here
is
an
exemplary
practice.
B
Mayor
jim
gardner,
yes,
councilmember
courts,
yes,
councilmember
woods,
yes,
councilmember
hostage,
yes,
mayor,
middleton,
aye
motion
passes
five
to
zero
and
I'll
read
the
ordinance
title,
which
is
an
ordinance
of
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
palm
springs.
California
amending
palm
springs
municipal
code,
chapter
10.22,
related
to
unattended
animals
and
enclosed
vehicles.
Thank
you.
All.
A
Right,
mr
mahan,
unless
I've
missed
something,
I
think
we
are
down
to
council
member
and
city
manager
requests
in
upcoming
agenda
item
development.
You
are
correct:
okay,.
J
Great,
thank
you
so
at
the
meeting
consumer
hostage
and
the
city
manager-
and
I
had
with
cod
on
monday
when
they
said
they'd
like
to
present
to
council-
and
we
were
looking
at
february
10th,
I
believe,
as
a
possible
date.
J
I
just
want
to
mention
to
the
city
manager.
It
might
be
helpful
to
not
do
it
as
sort
of
a
normal
presentation,
but
as
an
agenda
item,
so
we
can
actually
have
a
discussion
because
I
think
there'll
be
questions
and
council
members
who
want
to
discuss
some
of
the
things
you
know
about.
How
do
we
work
together?
How
do
we,
you
know,
do
things
where
we
maybe
want
to
have
a
little
more
ability
to
deliberate
than
we
might
in
a
normal
presentation.
M
Yeah
councilman,
of
course,
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense
if
there
aren't
other
kinds
of
suggested
agenda
items,
I'm
happy
to
put
up
on
the
screen
the
future
agendas
document.
We
can
take
a
look
at
the
meeting
on
the
10th
and
also
a
reminder
to
council
and
members
of
the
public
that
we're
also
adding
a
study
session
in
february.
So
I've
got
a
little
information
about
that.
If
I
can
share
my
screen.
M
So
if
everybody
can
see
this
right
now
february,
10th
is
built
out
roughly
to
about
the
four-hour
mark
which
we
hope
gets
us
out
a
little
closer
to
10
than
11..
M
We
can
certainly
add,
rather
than
just
having
a
presentation,
the
college
of
the
desert
item
and
and
it's
possible
that
we
will
want
to
push
the
follow-up
discussion
on
reparations
anyway,
that's
likely
to
be
a
more
narrow
presentation
on
a
couple
of
programs
that
we
think
we
can
move
forward
more
quickly,
but
we
could
move
that
to
the
24th
to
make
sure
we
have
enough
time
for
a
presentation
with
cod
and
a
discussion
and
then
february.
M
22Nd
is
that
study
session
date,
where
our
plan
is
to
follow
up
on
the
visiting
sessions
which
we
might
present
some
of
the
work
plans
that
follow
from
our
strategic
priorities.
But
we
also
want
to
cover
some
of
those
process
related
items,
some
of
which
we're
kind
of
working
on
now
to
implement.
You
know
things
like
the
order
of
the
agenda,
but
some
of
the
others
that
require
some
discussion
and
presentation.
M
C
I
have
a
comment
if
I
may
mayor
pro
tem.
Thank
you,
sir.
Since
you
can't
easily
see
me
jump
in
I.
I
think
that
a
lot
of
what
I've
been
thinking
about,
I
think,
will
will
be
better.
C
It'll
be
better
to
have
that
final
visioning
session
study
session.
I
think
to
then
be
able
to
really
decide
what
the
rest
of
the
meetings
should
look
like.
So
I
I'd
rather
be
able
to
actually
have
robust
discussion,
then
to
then
populate
the
the
agenda
further,
because
I
do
it
does
look
like
we
might
be
able
to
add
another
item
to
february
24th,
but
I'm
just
not
sure
if
we're
all
in
agreement
on
what
that
would
be,
and
I
don't
think
that
we
can
discuss
that
now.
Right.
M
So
we
can,
I
think,
discuss
introducing
items
generally,
I
would
say
the
the
those
meetings
that
are
not
the
next
in
line,
but
the
one
or
two
after
that,
a
lot
of
things
happen
organically
as
well.
So
that's
pretty
tentative,
so
we
can
always
identify
things.
You
know
that
that
we
want
to
get
to
soon,
but
there
may
be
other
items
that
find
their
way
to
that
agenda
without
any
of
our
introducing
them.
Also.
J
Just
one
other
thing
I
know
you
know
we
push
back
the
redistricting
due
to
wanting
some
additional
maps
if
we
can
get
those
maps
as
soon
as
staff
is,
has
them
instead
of
waiting
until
they
come
out
in
a
report,
because
I'm
told
residents
I
was
going
to
do
a
you
know,
a
meeting,
a
zoom
with
them
so
and
get
their
input
on
districts
on
what
on
the
various
maps
and
because
and
how
it
impacts
them
so
getting
those
ahead
of
time.
So
people
have
more
time
with
them.
J
I
think
would
be
helpful
so
once
they
we
have
them
if
we
can
post
them
and
share
them
with
council
on
the
public.
That
would
be
appreciated.
Thank
you.
