A
E
F
Okay,
good
evening
on
a
roll
mayor
and
city
council,
my
name
is
christy
McEwan
and
I
am
the
director
of
housing
for
a
path
of
life.
We
are
currently
contracted
with
the
Coachella
Valley
Association
of
Governments
to
provide
Coachella,
Valley
housing,
first
opportunities
for
those
experiencing
homelessness
in
the
Coachella
Valley.
Behind
me
in
the
audience,
I
have
Cheryl
Selene
with
the
Coachella
Valley
Association
of
Governments,
as
well
as
Greg
co-hosts
with
pathol
life.
F
He
oversees
the
Coachella
Valley
housing
first
initiative
so
path
a
life
we
have
been
in
the
community
since
2003
and
I'm
gonna
do
a
brief
overview.
I
will
be
respectful
of
your
time.
Some
of
the
services
that
we
provide
to
the
Coachella
Valley
and
to
Palm.
Springs
specifically
include
our
shelters
as
well
as
outreach,
behavioral
health,
employment,
child
care
and
really
everything
that
goes
along
with
ending
someone's
homelessness.
Ultimately,
the
only
cure
to
homelessness
is
housing.
F
F
So
you
have
in
Palm
Springs
a
team
of
two
outreach
workers
that
partner
with
the
police
department.
We
actually
had
our
meeting
with
the
deputy
chief
and
the
police
homelessness
task
force
earlier
in
the
month
that
was
exceptionally
fruitful.
We
were
able
to
actually
go
by
name
for
some
of
those
that
are
the
most
challenging
in
your
community,
because
housing
is
typically
prioritized
for
the
person
who
truly
needs
it.
The
most
who
is
accessing
emergency
services
5150
s
hospitalizations,
and
that
is,
if
that
is
the
person
who's
going
to
be
housed.
F
The
soonest
and
the
police
can
really
be
experts
on
that.
So
just
a
brief
overview
of
homelessness.
I
know
that
it's
it's
a
really
difficult
subject,
especially
with
your
stakeholders.
Something
that
has
been
nationally
proven
is
that
to
ignore
a
person
experiencing
homelessness
is
actually
more
expensive
than
to
house
them
by
a
significant
amount.
F
So
the
national
studies
show
and
Riverside
County
is
a
good
comparison
that
to
ignore
somebody
experiencing
homelessness
is
cost
about
$60,000
per
person
because
of
the
amount
of
police
engagements
the
amount
of
damages,
some
of
the
loss
of
revenue
for
tourism,
just
some
compounded
events,
especially
with,
if
you
think
of
hospital
stays
and
emergency
services.
So
every
time
an
ambulance
needs
to
go
into
in
you
know
into
an
encampment
every
time
somebody
needs
to
access
the
ER
instead
of
a
typical
physician.
F
Those
add
up
so
for
anyone
who's
concerned
about
spending
dollars
on
somebody
on
a
citizen
in
your
town
experiencing
homelessness
they
already
are,
and
this
intervention
in
regards
to
housing
first
is
the
smart
way
to
spend
that
money,
no
matter
what,
no
matter,
what
that
money
is
getting
spent.
So
I'm
gonna
put
my
smart
money
on
a
third
of
the
cost
for
a
permanent
housing
intervention
rather
than
just
trying
to
band-aid
or
overlook
the
problem
and
Palm
Springs
has
been
an
incredible
partner
in
this.
F
When
somebody
comes
to
the
city,
you
know
City
Hall
somebody,
contacts,
Dale
and
they're
really
in
need
right
now
and
maybe
a
typical
shelter
isn't
the
right
fit.
They
have
severe
medical
needs,
something
to
bring
your
attention
and
I'm
sure
you're
already
aware
the
oldest.
You
know
one
in
five
people,
20%
of
the
people
we
serve
in
Palm
Springs
are
more
than
seventy
years
of
age.
F
F
That's
where
we
bring
in
those
supportive
services
along
the
way
of
course,
but
that
first
we
have
to
cure
the
homelessness
first
and
then
we
start
working
with
the
behavioral
health
conditions.
Any
kind
of
actual
physical
and
wellness
challenges
a
job.
How
they're
going
to
sustain
that
unit
in
that
apartment
once
they're
in
it?
Something
really
to
celebrate
is,
although
we're
only
in
the
first
year
of
this
just
completed
the
first
year.
F
We
already
have
two
that
have
graduated
to
self-sufficiency,
which
is
proof
that
everyone
else
is
still
housed,
and
it's
really
working
right
here
in
Palm,
Springs,
permanent,
supportive
housing,
really
a
celebration.
There
is
you'll,
see
the
seven
chronically
homeless
that
are
housed.
That
means
that
they've
been
on
the
street
for
more
than
twelve
months
and
that
they
also
have
a
co-occurring
disability.
So
they
have
a
severe
mental
health
challenge,
a
chronic
health
challenge
hiv/aids,
as
well
as
their
homeless
length
of
time,
and
because
we're
going
to
that
prioritization,
we
discussed.
F
That
is
really
the
person
that
might
be
punching
at
the
sky
on
the
corner.
That
is
what
permanent
supportive
housing
is
for,
and
it
really
works
and
we
are
able
to
stabilize
someone
and
keep
them
housed
in
the
community,
keeps
them
safe.
It's
an
incredible
program
and,
of
course,
far
more
intensive
case
management,
but
still
a
lease
in
their
own
name.
F
And
that's
that's
the
idea
and
these
what
we
call
scattered
site
and
that
homelessness
Prevention's
that's
been
really
powerful
and
Palm
Springs,
especially
with
elderly
prices,
are
going
up
and
they
they
can
be
priced
out
of
their
units
and
so
we're
able
to
come
in
and
help
them
just
make
that
one
or
two
months
rent
in
order
to
reach
you
know
change
around
their
budget.
We
work
they
actually
have
to
work
with
us
on
a
budget
to
receive
that
homelessness
prevention,
opportunity
and
then
just
something
to
bring
it
home.
F
I
love
numbers,
I,
love
data,
I'm,
always
going
to
bring
you
the
hard
facts,
but
there
is
a
name
to
every
single
person
that
we
just
discussed,
there's
a
name
to
every
single
number
and
so
miss
Rebecca.
She
lived
on
the
streets
of
Palm
Springs
for
ten
years,
she's
struggling
with
addiction.
She
is
the
survivor
of
domestic
violence,
I've
changed
her
name
and
then
but
she's
she's
now
safely
housed
and
in
recovery
she's
been
housed
now
for
just
coming
up
on
a
year.
She
has
a
job
and
you'll
actually
see
she's
so
proud.
F
So
that's
our
unit.
That's
her
job,
just
really
powerful
that
as
soon
as
people
are
housed
and
stable
family
comes
back
around,
and
so
she
got
to
meet
her
daughter
and
spend
and
spend
that
Mother's
Day
with
her
little
girl
last
May
so
again,
well,
I'm
gonna
bring
you
data
there.
There's
a
person
and
a
story
involved
in
every
single
thing:
some
overviews
of
the
Coachella
Valley
housing,
first
plan
prevention,
intervention
and
stabilization.
Again,
I
want
to
be
respectful
of
your
time,
but
just
by
the
numbers.
F
What
what
we've
committed
to
delivering
to
the
Coachella
Valley
are
pretty
big,
and
it's
because
we
know
we
can
do
it
and
we've
done
in
other
cities
and
in
the
valley
throughout
these
past
years.
So
there
is
the
rental
assistance,
which
is
the
homelessness
prevention.
We
have
a
resource
connection
line
where
people
call
and
receive
that
live
person.
Who
is
going
to
do
the
they're
gonna
do
the
legwork
for
them
we're
not
just
going
to
give
you
another
number.
F
If
you
call
we're
gonna
get
as
much
information
as
we
can
and
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
do
that
research
for
you
and
get
back
to
you
and
the
number
will
actually
be
posted
and
I.
Invite
you
just
to
call
our.
We
call
it
a
hotline,
but
it's
9
to
6,
because
we
track
all
the
calls
that
come
in
and
we
haven't
had
a
majority.
We
haven't
even
had
10
a
month
that
come
in
after
hours,
so
we
want
to
be
good
stewards
of
the
funds.
F
It
just
hasn't,
panned
out
that
we
should
have
it
staff
24
hours
that
wouldn't
be
the
best
use
of
of
your
dollars.
Crisis
stabilization
housing.
It's
really
powerful
because
truly
people
stay
in
the
community
in
which
they
became
homeless,
have
the
needs,
needs,
met
or
their
basic
needs
met
and
really
can't
believe,
especially
our
elderly
than
94
year
old.
It's
like
what's
the
catch,
we're
like
there's
no
catch
and
he's
like
nobody.
F
Just
does
this
I'm
like
well,
let's
see
if
Palm
Springs
thinks
you're
pretty
important
and
we
want
to
make
sure
you're
safe,
so
yeah
it's
happening,
but
you
can
ask
questions
and
test
me
all
along
and
they
are
successfully
house
through
a
partnership
with
Housing
Authority
and
the
section
8
voucher
for
our
senior
citizens.
So
we
provide
the
case
management.
We
provide
the
housing,
the
a
behavioral
and
the
employment
support
and
then
truly
at
the
end
of
the
day.
F
Homes
are
what
end
homelessness,
and
so
that's
our
focus
and
again,
if
you
want
to
give
out
this
number,
please
do
we're
working
with
seabag
to
get
a
bit
more
of
the
marketing
out
there.
If
you
haven't
heard
about
this,
offering
that's
coming
and
again,
the
hotline
is
seven:
six:
zero,
six,
zero
one,
five,
four,
two
four
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
If
you
have
any
at
this
time,.
C
If
I
could
just
comment,
thank
you
for
all
of
your
work.
I
know
that
there's
been
a
lot
of
you
know,
information
out
there
and
we've
really
been
trying
to
spread
the
word
about
all
the
good
work.
That
path
of
life
is
doing
in
conjunction
with
the
Steve
AG
housing
first
program,
and
so
we
thought
that
there
was
some
misunderstanding
out
there,
because
there
isn't
a
physical
shelter
because
you're
doing
scattered
sites
and
housing
people
in
regular
homes
where
people
want
to
live.
C
That,
there's
been
some
misunderstanding
about
the
work
that
you
do,
but
Steve
AG
has
done
extensive
I'm,
actually,
an
independent
audit
of
the
success
and
the
outcomes
for
path
of
life's
programs
and
they're
they're,
extremely
extremely
high
success
rates
in
terms
of
people
staying
in
the
program
and
and
positive
outcomes.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
think
there
was
a
rumor
that
you're
no
longer
doing
housing
or
housing
first
in
Palm
Springs,
and
that's
not
correct
right.
No.
F
Not
at
all-
and
that's
that's
a
challenge
that
we're
overcoming
as
a
community
because
folks
are,
are
used
to
being
able
to
see
a
building,
they're
used
to
being
able
to
visit
or
volunteer
in
a
space
in
a
structure
and
while
shelters
have
their
place,
and
we
operate
some
and
they're
amazing
for
the
people
that
they
serve.
They
don't
end
homelessness.
Only
only
a
lease
in
your
own
name
actually
ends
your
homeless
situation.
F
Hud
does
not
consider
shelter,
house,
it's
still
literally
homeless,
and
so
just
inviting
the
community,
and
that
idea
that,
well,
you
can't
visit
it.
We're
gonna
bring
you
the
data,
we're
going
to
be
independently
audited,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
bringing
the
best
service
we're
the
most
cost
effective.
That's
also
the
case
is
that
the
rental
subsidy
is
incredibly
cost
effective
for
how
many
you
can
serve
because
there's
not
there's,
not
the
overhead.
F
D
G
Thank
you.
This
is
a
city
manager,
fuller,
mayor
councilmembers,
so
this
coming
Tuesday
September
11th
2018
marks
the
17-year
anniversary
of
the
terrorist
attack
on
the
World
Trade
Center,
the
Pentagon
and
the
United
flight.
So
in
memory
of
the
over
3,000
people
that
lost
their
lives,
the
Palm
Springs
honor
guard
Fire,
Department
honor
guard
is
hosting
a
ceremony
next
Tuesday
morning,
beginning
at
5:46
a.m.
there
will
be
a
moment
of
silence
so
arrive
before
that,
so
that
you
can
be
part
of
that
moment
of
silence
and
then
at
6:27,
which
is
sunrise.
G
The
honor
guard
will
lower
flags
to
half
staff
in
between
the
moment
of
silence
and
the
lowering
of
the
flag.
There
will
be
an
audio
tape
of
the
actual
communication
between
the
firefighters
that
ascended
to
the
78th
floor
that
day
in
the
South,
Tower
and
you'll
also
be
able
to
walk
around
the
memorial
that
was
dedicated
three
years
ago
here
in
Palm
Springs,
and
that
memorial
and
this
event
is,
is
hosted
at
in
front
of
the
memorial
at
300
North
el
cielo.
G
A
Thank
You,
chief
dollar
and
I've
been
to
that
event
several
times
and
it's
a
really
very
moving
and
in
very
very
nice
event,
it's
a
little
early
in
the
morning,
but
it's
certainly
worth
getting
up
mister
for
any
other
presentations.
Okay,
thank
you.
We
will
move
on
to
acceptance
of
the
agenda.
The
City
Council
at
this
time
we'll
discuss
the
order
of
the
agenda
and
may
amend
the
order
at
urgency,
items,
note,
abstentions
or
no
votes
on
consent,
calendar
items
and
request
consent,
calendar
items
be
removed
for
discussion.
A
A
Any
other
request:
okay
and
I-
will
be
recusing
from
item
1
k.
Okay,
so
do
we
have
a
motion
to
accept
the
agenda
as
amended
with
the
following
items
pulled
from
the
consent,
calendar
1,
G,
1,
K
and
1
n,
with
myself,
abstaining
from
item
1
K
motion
is
on
the
floor
by
councilmember,
Coors
and
seconded
by
councilmember
holstege.
G
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
members
of
the
council,
the
closed
session
agenda
was
somewhat
lengthy
and
my
report
is
that
there
was
no
reportable
action
taken
on
any
item.
The
mayor
did
recuse
himself
with
respect
to
the
second
item
of
existing
litigation
and
left
the
closed
session,
because
the
property
that
is
the
subject
of
that
litigation
is
within
500
feet
of
his
home.
As
to
the
anticipated
litigation,
we
did
cover
all
eight
matters
noticed
as
to
the
initiation
of
litigation.
G
We
did
not
cover
the
wcp
dssh
Holdings,
three
matter,
because
that
matter
settled,
and
we
also
did
not
cover
one
of
the
matters
unidentified
by
name.
So
we
did
ten
initiation
of
litigation
matters.
We
did
not
have
time
for
the
public,
employee
performance
evaluation
and
we
did
not
pursue
the
last
three
noticed
property,
that
is
real
property
negotiation
items.
The
vineyard
parking
lot,
the
Bristow
parking
structure
in
the
plaza
de
Mercado
parking
lot,
all
the
other
real
property
was
considered.
That
concludes
my
report.
Mr.
mayor
Thank,.
A
You,
mr.
Kotkin,
the
next
item
is
public
testimony
and
city
clerk.
Are
you
putting
the
names
into
the
system?
I,
don't
see
any
oh
there,
they
are
okay,
but
with
testimony
this
side,
this
time
has
been
set
aside
for
members
of
the
public
to
address
the
City
Council.
Only
on
agenda
items
for
two
minutes
two
minutes
will
be
assigned
to
each
speaker.
Testimony
for
public
hearings
will
only
be
taken
at
the
time
of
the
hearing
and
general
public
comments
on
non-agenda
items
will
be
taken
later
in
the
meeting.
I
Wore
this
shirt,
so
you
could
hear
me
coming
I'm
Steven
price
I'm
on
the
board
of
the
Palm
Springs
Preservation
Foundation
I
am
here
to
speak
about
item
3b
on
your
agenda.
I.
We
sent
a
letter
to
the
council
which
I'm
sure
you've
seen
as
one
a
second
our
support
of
the
moratorium
under
consideration.
The
law
as
intended
seems
sound
as
it's
on
the
books,
giving
flexibility
to
homeowners,
builders
and
speculators
alike
while
being
responsive
to
the
sensibilities
of
the
community
overall,
but,
as
will
happen,
challenges
and
experiments.
I
Some
stretching
of
the
loopholes,
the
three
wall
remodel,
has
become
a
practice.
That's
an
untrammeled
travesty.
In
every
California
jurisdiction,
I've
seen
it
from
San
Francisco
to
LA,
Los
Angeles
to
Palm,
Springs
I
know
at
least
one
of
our
esteemed
council
members
is
in
the
building
trade
and
must
get
pretty
steamed,
seeing
others
define
or
the
result
of
their
distorting
the
rules
and
while
he,
you
know,
he
and
others-
abide
with
integrity
and
inherits
to
the
intent.
This
moratorium
is
not
to
rush
new
rules
of
unstudied
into
place.
I
It's
just
to
stop
an
invasive
practice
for
a
period
of
time
to
see
what
works
and
what
doesn't
on
with
the
laws
in
the
books.
The
HS
PB
has
already
been
very
diligent
in
researching
that
and
laying
that
foundation
and
it's
framing
I
hope
if
it
comes
to
a
vote
tonight,
he'll
vote
in
favor
of
the
best
practices
and
enact
the
moratorium.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
I
Hi
good
evening
in
council,
my
name
is
dick
Burkett,
as
vice
chair
of
the
Historic
Preservation
Board
for
the
city
of
Palm.
Springs
I
really
appreciate
this
opportunity
to
share
with
you
a
brief
update
regarding
a
proposed
revision
of
the
demolition
ordinance.
A
demolition
ordinance
revision
subcommittee
was
appointed,
comprised
of
HSB
members
bill,
Lavoie,
todd
hayes
and
myself
as
well
as
Planning
Board
commissioners,
Peter
Maroussi
and
Donna
Bell.
I
The
subcommittee,
along
with
city
legal
counsel
and
the
Director
of
Planning
have
had
multiple
meetings
over
the
past
few
months,
reviewing
options
and
solutions
to
the
issues
that
have
risen
from
continued
loss
of
class
three
properties
prior
to
setting
out
on
the
task.
We
did
extensive
research
of
seven
other
prominent
California
cities
that
have
addressed
the
loss
of
historic
properties
by
demolition.
I
The
idea
was
to
use
this
as
a
benchmark
of
what
other
cities
have
crafted
regarding
their
demolition
ordinances.
The
subcommittee
will
present
their
initial
findings
to
the
HSP
meeting
on
September
11th,
this
coming
Tuesday
for
the
entire
boards
review
and
input
with
the
goal
of
a
draft
ordinance
to
be
presented
in
October.
As
the
subcommittee
is
about
ready
to
wrap
up
our
deliberations,
the
next
step
would
be
to
submit
the
draft
ordinance
recommendations
to
Council
shortly
thereafter.
I
A
J
Moreno
Valley
I'm
here
in
support
of
item
5a,
because
legislative
advocacy
plays
a
central
role
in
protecting
local
control
and
keeping
and
getting
your
fair
share,
a
local
revenue
generated
by
your
business
community
in
your
residence.
As
you
all
know
how
Sacramento
likes
to
balance
their
budget
on
our
backs,
they
like
to
pass
on
funding
mandates
that
money.
J
J
In
opposition
to,
and
also
the
proposed
legislation,
because
I
think
as
time
gets
because
when
you
guys
went
to
Sacramento
that
you
went
up
there
to
to
advocate,
but
you
should
pass
something
annually,
so
you
can
look
at
it
and
you'll!
You
could
adopt
it.
What
you're
going
to
see,
then
you
go
Lobby
your
efforts
to
make
sure
that
you
support
legislation
or
be
against
thing.
That's
going
to
be
detrimental
to
your
your
community,
so
I
like
to
introduce
into
the
public
record.
A
K
My
concern
as
many
and
one
is
that
this
particular
item
has
to
do
as
you
well
know,
with
the
camera
that
was
installed
in
our
mayor's
office.
What
item
one
k
talked
about?
Isn't
reference
to
you
approving
up
to
eighty
five
thousand
dollars
in
attorney
fees
for
an
outside
investigation?
You
never
mentioned
mayor
moons
name
on
the
agenda,
so
unless
somebody's
really
knew
what
they
were
looking
for,
it
would
be
difficult
for
us
to
even
know
why
you
didn't
do
that
and
I
think
you're
all
about
transparency
and
I.
K
Don't
understand
why
that
wasn't
mentioned
you're
also
about
transparency,
and
yet
the
very
item
that
you're
concerned
about
is
a
as
a
camera
is
what
helps
us
to
be
more
transparent.
The
state
of
California
is
only
one
of
eleven
states
that
actually
has
this
law
the
we,
the
audio
law,
so
most
of
the
United
States
most
states
in
the
United
States.
This
would
not
even
be
an
issue
I'm
concerned
that
the
district
attorney
did
not
want
to
take
this
up.
K
He
gave
this
back
to
you,
but
if
the
DA
is
not
wanting
to
take
it
up
and
why
we
would
be
reproved
up
to
eighty
five
thousand
dollars
for
an
investigation
when
the
in
district
attorney
himself
is
saying,
this
isn't
worth
investigating
and
I
think
that
we
can
spend
our
tax
dollars
in
such
more
in
in
ways
that
would
be
what
much
more
beneficial
to
our
community
and,
if
you
do,
when
you
do
decide
to
go
through
this
to
me,
a
very
expensive
investigation.
What
do
you
do
with
it?
K
A
L
I
want
to
speak
to
the
to
a
conversion
of
Indian,
Canyon
and
I
want
to
say
that
I'm
very
much
in
favor
of
that
I'm
also
I
I'm
in
favor
of
it,
but
the
current
engineered
drawings
for
this
project
are
entitled:
Indian,
Kenyan,
pedestrian
and
bicycle
safety
enhancements
of
a
two
way
conversion.
These
documents
have
been
approved
by
you
and
construction
is
set
to
begin.
It'll
have
two
lanes
going
north
one
lane
going
south
and
a
turn
lane
as
well
as
parking.
But
what
does
this
visit?
L
Does
it
give
pedestrians
what
they
want
in
need,
or
bicyclists
and
I'm
sorry
I'm,
bringing
this
up
at
the
last
minute,
but
I
actually
did
not
know
of
public
meetings
that
addressed
this
issue
of
the
to
wait:
conversion
while
it
eliminated
bicycle
safety,
even
though
the
title
of
the
documents
are
called
bicycle
and
pedestrian
enhancements
right
now
there
are
sharrows
on
Indian
Canyon,
those
as
I
understand
it
are
going
away
and
they
are
not
being
replaced
with
either
more
sharrows
or
preferably
and
I.
Think.
L
Most
importantly,
with
a
designated
bicycle
lane
or
a
buffered
Lane,
and
my
attitude
is
that
if
we
provide
this
for
all
the
residents
as
well
as
the
tourists,
it'll
bring
people
downtown
and
it
will
create
another
mode
of
transportation,
that'll
bring
people
to
those
businesses
along
Indian,
Canyon
right
now,
Indian
Canyon
has
become
the
second,
the
second
one
to
Palm
Canyon
and
we've
put
so
much
energy
into
Palm,
Canyon
and
I
think
that
if
we
do
the
same
for
Indian
Canyon,
it's
just
exactly
what
the
city
needs.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
K
Thank
you.
My
name
is
Judy
dear
tract
and
I'm,
a
resident
of
Palm
Springs
I'm
here
on
item
number
1k
with
the
potential
investigation
of
Robert
moon
for
85,000
dollars
in
attorneys
fees.
I'm
also
here
coming
out
of
a
kind
of
hibernation,
because
I
felt
pretty
roughed
up
at
the
end
of
the
campaign
when
I
dealt
with
at
least
four
of
you
on
this
panel
that
was
involved,
I
think
in
some
of
the
tenor
of
the
campaign.
K
A
M
Good
evening,
mayor
and
city
council
city
staff,
everybody
else
hey,
I
came
here
tonight
to
briefly
address
you
on
two
items.
One
is
number
one
eye
which
is
palm
tree
trimming
so
I
know
if
you're
on
social
media.
You
might
catch
some
of
the
things
recently,
because
some
some
skirts
fell
down
again.
But
it's
my
understanding,
that's
because
there
was
a
little
bit
of
a
delay
with
this
contract.
M
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
people
understand
that
it
is
being
addressed
and
I
also
really
want
to
give
thanks
to
Stacy,
Shaffer
and
Heather
McPherson
and
the
downtown
crews
for
how
fast
they
get
there
to
clean
up
that
mess.
I
mean
it
happens,
sometimes
right,
and
it
is
unfortunate.
So
the
best
we
could
ask
for
is
that
we
got
great
staff.
That'll
come
take
care
of
it
for
us
as
quickly
as
humanly
possible.
I
also
want
to
talk
to
you
also
on
4a,
regarding
Indian
Canyon.
M
This
has
been
going
on
for
a
long
time.
I
have
to
really
tell
you,
as
president
of
Main.
Street
I
was
very
happy
with
this
particular
layout
because
we
don't
lose
the
parking,
and
that
has
always
been
a
problem
for
us
and
I
think
that
this
was
a
hard
balance
between
pedestrians
and
locals
and
tourists
and
drivers
and
bike
riders.
M
So,
when
you're
trying
to
do
a
compromise
like
this,
sometimes
that's
difficult,
Marcus
and
his
staff,
the
new
engineer
and
Mike
light
are:
they
came
to
Main
Street
on
Tuesday
for
question
and
answer
explained
everything
very
well
and
so
I
I
hate
to
always
be
a
goody
two-shoes,
but
I
just
got
to
say
my
interactions
with
city
staff.
Almost
a
hundred
percent
of
the
time
is
stellar
and
that's
just
the
fact
of
it.
M
A
Okay,
thank
you,
mrs.
joy,
brown,
Meredith.
Okay,
if
there's
no
other
speakers
that
will
close
our
public
testimony
for
non
public
hearing
agenda
items.
Only
next
item
is
public
testimony.
This
time
has
been
set
aside
for
members
of
the
public
to
address
the
City
Council
only
on
non
oh
I'm.
Sorry,
we
just
did
that.
Oh
okay,.
E
A
Okay,
the
next
item
is
City
Council's
of
community
and
city
manager's
comments
and
reports.
This
time
has
been
set
aside
for
the
City
Council
to
provide
additional
general
comments,
reports
and
announcements.
Additionally,
this
time
is
set
aside
for
the
city
manager,
update
the
City
Council
on
important
items
initiated
by
the
staff
or
previously
requested
by
the
council,
Mayor
Pro
Tem
Roberts.
E
To
the
dais,
so
you
are
sitting
at
and
looking
at
a
brand-new
diets
that
was
just
completed
to
replace
the
last
diet
that
we
did
and
the
reason
we
did
that
is,
there
were
some
mistake.
Frankly,
mistakes
and
problems
with
the
last
Dyess
rebuild
and
I'm
happy
to
report
that
we
were
able
to
replace
it
all
and
upgrade
it
and
improve
it
dramatically.
I
think
within
pretty
much
the
same
budget,
we
started
with
and
I'm
getting
a
confirmation
from
Aaron
Brown
and
I'm
most
grateful
that
Aaron
Brown
is
sitting
here,
especially
because
this
occurred.
E
While
we
were
dark
for
recess,
and
the
only
reason
we're
sitting
here
today
is
because
an
amazing
amount
of
work
went
in
to
our
city
staff
to
get
this
done.
In
fact,
Aaron
and
many
others,
many
others
in
our
staff
gave
up
nights
and
weekends
for
the
last
few
months
to
be
here
to
sort
of
stay
on
top
of
our
cabinet
maker
and
all
those
that
are
needed
to
you.
Do
the
work
that
you're
looking
at
right
now,
as
well
as
reinstall
our
electronics
and
get
us
back
up
and
running.
E
The
good
news
is
that
it's
done
it's
right.
It
solved
problems.
The
reason
Anthony
no
longer
looks
like
he's
sitting
in
a
coach
seat
on
an
airplane
is
because
he
is
now
able
to
pull
more
than
four
inches
away
from
his
desk
I
think
we
solved
most
of
the
problems.
The
public
won't
see
that
the
council
has
more
room
up
here,
much
better
design.
What
the
public
might
notice
is
it.
E
That
was
one
of
the
big
mistakes
that
was
made
earlier
last
but
not
least
on
the
Dyess
is
that
it's
a
different
color
and
when
we
had
a
second
shot
at
this,
we
decided
to
get
more
historically
accurate
and
we
went
back
and
we
looked
at
old
photographs,
and
this
was
actually
the
color
and
finish
and
wood
of
the
original
albert
frey
designed
Dyess
for
this
building.
So
we're
really
excited
that
we
have
this
back.
E
It
may
not
be
the
exact
color,
but
we
know
that
it's
much
closer,
it's
it's
it's
at
least
of
a
light.
Wood
and
the
original
might
have
been
maple.
I
think
this
is
birch
there's
most
of
all
it's
closed
and
the
the
room
of
course
has
changed
over
the
years
as
the
needs
of
the
room
have
changed.
Albert
Frei
told
me
himself
that
architecture
serves
the
people
that
are
using
it
that
day,
not
people
who
used
it
50
years
ago
and
that
architecture
and
the
uses
of
those
rooms
have
to
adapt
to
those
new
users.
E
So
hopefully
he
and
John
Porter
Clarke
are
pleased
with
the
changes
that
we've
made
and
I
will
also
report
that
it's
not
complete.
There's
still,
some
tweaks
and
things
that
we're
gonna,
see
and
one
very
exciting
thing
we're
doing-
is
a
change
order,
we're
adding
a
Dyess
for
our
chief
of
police
and
our
fire
chief.
E
But
the
last
thing
I
needed
to
say
because
I'm,
a
lovesick
fool
for
my
sisters
is
that
they're
here
tonight,
from
out
of
town,
my
sister
marquel's
and
my
sister
Kevin
are
sitting
in
the
audience.
There
and
they've
never
been
here
to
City
Hall,
so,
along
with
filling
I'm
filling
them
up
with
coffee
and
caffeine,
I'm
thrilled
to
see
them
here
tonight
and
Mayor.
That's
what
I
have
for
now.
You.
N
O
Want
to
compliment
and
think
mayor,
pro-tem
Roberts
for
all
of
the
work
that
you
did
that
went
into
this
redesign
as
well
as
a
big
thank
you
to
Aaron
Brown
for
all
of
his
technical
work
that
was
associated
I.
Think
both
of
you
have
a
new
career
in
general
contracting,
although
with
it
being
reduced,
I'm
afraid
that
some
of
us
in
early
summer
will
no
longer
be
able
to
come
up
to
the
Dyess
dressed
like
Rachel
Maddow,
where
we
have
the
proper
uniform
on
from
waist
up
but
below
we're
in
shorts
and
flip-flops.
O
So,
but
be
that
as
it
may,
I
along
with
councilmember
Coors,
have
been
a
part
of
the
subcommittee
as
we
make
the
move
to
districts
and
in
the
course
of
that
we
have
had
numerous
meetings
in
our
community
from
Desert
Highland
to
DeMuth
to
meetings
at
the
Convention
Center
meetings
with
Main
Street.
We're
truly
trying
to
reach
out
to
the
community.
I
want
to
very
much
congratulate
and
thank
all
of
the
people
on
the
California
Voting
Rights
Act
work
group
for
the
work
that
they
have
done
and
in
just
over
two
weeks
on
September
27th.
O
We
will
see
a
presentation
of
their
reports,
our
city
clerk
who's,
been
through
this
before
working
in
conjunction
with
Chyzyk
Diaz
Ellen,
a
consultant
has
done
some
very
specific
work
to
reach
out
to
the
Latino
community
and
I
was
at
an
event.
Last
evening
at
Catherine
finchy
elementary
school,
we
had
a
crowd
of
individuals,
probably
the
majority
of
the
adults.
There
were
individuals
that
were
monolingual
in
Spanish
and
we
had
a
truly
effective
outreach
program
to
them.
O
I
wish
I
could
say:
I'm
fluent
in
Spanish,
I
am
NOT,
but
sitting
in
that
room
with
individuals
and
watching
them
interact
with
one
another
and
interact
with
our
city
clerk
and
with
consultants
who
are
trying
to
reach
out
and
educate
them
about
what
we
are
trying
to
do.
Anyone
in
any
language
could
understand
that
these
were
folks
who
were
appreciating
the
outreach
that
they
were
receiving.
I
spoke
with
one
woman
who
told
me
in
that
she
had
lived
in
this
city
for
over
20
years.
O
So
we
have
a
lot
of
work
still
ahead
of
us
in
this
endeavor,
but
it
is
already
paying
fruit
in
terms
of
us
being
able
to
reach
out
and
communicate
with
individuals
who
have
lived
and
worked
in
our
city,
sometimes
for
decades,
and
never
felt
that
the
city
was
open
and
welcoming
to
them,
and
we
are
trying
to
change
that.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
I,
just
like
to
add
a
little
on
to
what
mayor
pro-tem
said.
I
was
on
the
subcommittee
with
him
on
this
new
council
chamber
and,
of
course,
besides
the
you
know,
beautiful
new
worker
that
er
did
on
this.
Also,
the
new
city
emblem
is
up
here
that
people
can
see
and
also
there's
one
in
the
back
of
the
room,
which
looks
I.
Think
really
really.
Nice.
We've
never
had
an
emblem
that
says
what
city
were
in.
A
So
it's
really
nice
to
be
able
to
look
up
and
know
where
we
are,
but
it
must
also
comment.
It
was
a.
It
was
a
lot
of
work,
but
it
was
also
sort
of
easy
for
me
being
on
the
subcommittee,
because,
because
council
mayor
pro-tem
would
just
say,
okay,
we're
having
a
meeting
drag
me
in
here,
say
you
agree
with
me
right:
I
go
yes,
sir!
Well
I
love
it.
So
it's
a
very
easy
ad
hoc
committee
to
work
on.
So
it's
really
nice
to
have
a
architectural
designer
on
on
the
on
the
city
council.
C
A
A
Yeah,
the
annual
state
of
the
city
will
be
tomorrow
and,
as
everyone
probably
knows,
this
is
not
a
city
event.
This
is
a
Chamber
of
Commerce
event
and
we
really
appreciate
the
Chamber
of
Commerce,
putting
this
on
they've
done
it
every
year
since
mayor
Bogart,
I
think
was
mayor
a
long
long
time
ago,
and
it's
an
opportunity
to
celebrate
all
the
great
things
that
are
happening
in
Palm
Springs
and
over
the
past
year
and
to
sort
of
go
to
to
review
all
these
in
a
really
sort
of
a
cheerleading
session.
A
So
it's
very
positive
things,
and
hopefully
people
will
learn
a
few
new
things
and
be
entertained.
So
it's
probably
too
late
to
buy
a
ticket
for
the
luncheon.
But
everyone
is
welcome
to
come
and
there'll
be
plenty
of
seating
at
the
Convention
Center
for
people
to
come
and
listen
to
the
state
of
the
city,
and
this
and
the
doors
will
open
11:30
and
the
state
of
the
city
will
start
just
before
noon,
and
actually
this
year
there
won't
one
slight
change.
E
A
Springs
Chamber
of
Commerce
com:
they
can
go
there,
probably
or
call
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
tomorrow,
but
it
starts
at
11:30,
so
they
better
hustle,
but
if
they
don't
want
to,
they're,
certainly
welcome
to
come
and
do
I
have
plenty
of
free
seats
at
the
Convention
Center.
Okay,
thank
you
for
reminding
me
so
I
hope.
C
C
C
So
I
just
wanted
to
thank
our
staff,
I'm
very
happy
to
be
back
and
and
and
ready
to
work,
but
that
was
an
important
time.
I
think
for
our
city.
Just
a
few
updates.
I
did
meet
with
the
sustainability,
Commission's
working
group
about
plastic,
straws,
styrofoam,
other
plastic
waste
and
toxins,
and
so
they're
bringing
that
forward
to
the
sustainability
Commission
this
month
and
then
that
might
move
forward
to
one
of
our
City
subcommittees
or
City.
C
Council
I
attended
the
county's
blue-ribbon
behavioral
health
committee,
with
the
County
Supervisor
and
a
number
of
other
mayors
and
City
Council
members
were
there,
and
that
was
an
incredible
moment
to
be
there
and
talk
about
what
we
need
to
do
to
recruit:
behavioral
health
specialists
and
professionals
to
our
Valley
and
get
people
good
care.
Actually,
one
thing
that
came
up
in
that
that
people
kept
echoing
is
our
24-hour
mental
health
clinic.
C
That's
operated
in
North
Palm
Springs,
which
everyone
talked
about
as
being
such
an
important
asset
and
right
now
you
might
not
know,
but
through
the
indio
Planning
Commission
they're,
bringing
forward
an
operator
to
provide
mental
health
beds,
which
is
really
important
for
the
county,
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
pushback
from
the
neighborhoods
and
from
just
community
members
there.
So
they
talked
about
the
importance
of
that
project
for
the
valley
at
large,
because
right
now
people
who
are
having
mental
health
crisis,
these
often
have
nowhere
to
go
so
I
thought
that
was
important.
C
I
attended
the
back-to-school
night
backpack
giveaway
at
James
O
Jesse
earlier
in
August.
It
was
an
incredible
event,
or
so
many
kids
and
families,
and
it
was
a
much
larger
event
than
it's
been
in
the
past.
So
thank
you
to
the
Parks
and
Rec
Commission
and
staff
for
working
on
that
I
attended,
Stuff,
the
Bearcat
with
the
police
department
and
the
police
advisory
board,
and
they
stuffed
two
or
three
Bearcats
full
of
supplies.
C
A
A
C
You,
mr.
mayor,
so
I
just
pulled
this
item
to
state
for
the
record,
because
this
City
Council
hasn't
decided
how
we're
gonna
allocate
measure
J
funds,
and
so
we
need
to
bring
that
forward
in
full
together,
I
think
so
that
we
can
make
all
of
those
decisions.
So
I
talked
to
our
assistant
city
manager
and
our
acting
city
manager,
and
he
said
that
we
should
move
forward.
C
E
Thank
You
mayor
is
you
either
room
I
brought
this
up
or
I
pulled
it
just
because
I
thought
it
was
worthy
of
a
little
bit
more
conversation.
If
not
just
a
comment,
you
know
I've
gotten
some
letters
and
some
phone
calls
on
this
issue
and
the
issue
that
I'm
referring
to
for
the
public
is
the
council
approving
funds
for
an
investigation
with
respect
to
an
issue
of
the
mayor
and
recording
equipment
in
his
office.
I
can
assure
you
that
this
is
no
fun.
E
E
It
I
happen
to
believe
that
the
mayor
made
a
mistake
and
we
all
make
mistakes,
and
our
job
is
designed
for
us
to
make
mistakes,
and
we
will
make
them
there
work.
There
will
be
times
that
we
will
not
knowingly
violate
the
Brown
Act.
We
will
do
things
that
we
simply
don't
know,
and
hopefully
we
won't
do
things
that
we
know
we
shouldn't
do,
but
all
in
all
we're
going
to
make
mistakes
just
like
everybody
else,
and
we
can
only
hold
our
hold
ourselves
to
the
same
standards
that
we
would
hold.
E
P
O
To
thank
the
Mayor
Pro
Tem
for
his
comments
and
I,
certainly,
second
them
most
particularly
the
sentiment
that
none
of
us
want
to
to
be
here
tonight
having
to
do
this,
but
in
an
effort
to
assure
the
transparency
of
the
process,
I
would
like
to
ask
mr.
Friedman
and
the
assistant
city
manager,
the
city
attorney
to
brief
us
on
the
process
that
was
used
to
make
the
selection
and
how
the
scope
of
this
investigation
was
designed
and
who
it
was
that
made
those
decisions.
Q
Q
Nevertheless,
it's
the
procedure
that
you
do
follow
for
really
for
everything
other
than
legal
counsel,
I.
Believe
it's
section
7.04
there
is
a
provision
for
RFP,
so
I
use
that
as
a
guide
for
the
way,
for
example,
that
you
look
for
firms
to
do
the
tree
service
that
will
be
discussed
later
this
evening.
There
is
a
very
detailed
procedure
for
RFPs
in
the
Municipal
Code
for
those
forms
of
proto
services,
not
applicable,
but
exactly
a
good
reference
and
wound.
Q
Q
One
was
based
in
two
in
Los
Angeles,
while
two
were
based
in
Los
Angeles,
but
the
third
one,
though
the
one
actually
that
I
decided
it
was
handled
by
a
partner
based
in
Oakland,
so
to
ensure
that
whoever
was
involved
would
be
fully
independent
and
nothing
to
do
with
the
city
of
Palm
Springs.
So
I
sent
out
a
proposal.
Rfp
document
asked
the
three
firms
to
consider
it,
one
of
them
based
in
san
diego,
a
smaller
firm
but
with
excellent
credentials,
decided
after
a
couple
of
days
with
given
their
other
matters.
Q
They
decided
not
to
bid
and
I,
received
two
fairly
detailed
proposals
from
the
firm
in
Los
Angeles
and
the
firm
with
the
Los
Angeles
office,
but
responding
the
the
the
Oakland.
The
partner
based
in
Oakland
I,
considered
both
of
them
carefully.
The
Los
Angeles
one
was
I
felt
not
particularly
responsive
in
particular.
The
way
they
had
pitched
there
in
a
forensic
investigator
was
not
tailored.
It
was
literally
a
copy
and
paste
from
another
document.
So
I
looked
at
the
law.
Q
Firm
proposal
wasn't
bad,
but
I
did
not
think
that
they
had
done
the
work
to
sufficiently
tailor
the
role
of
the
forensic
investigator
and
their
proposal
that
I
received
from
the
firm
that
I,
ultimately
selected,
Myers
navei,
was
absolutely
outstanding.
I
would
have
I
hoped
I
had
prepared,
RFP
responses
as
good
as
theirs.
Q
Hopefully
it'll
be
a
lot
less
than
that,
but
in
case
they
had
to
come
more
than
once,
there's
a
little
bit
of
extra
for
there,
and
so
that
is
the
procedure.
I
believe
that
you
know
the
city
attorney
would
have
done
that
if
he
had
been,
you
know
charged
with
doing
this,
but
is
the
procedure
that
I
was
comfortable
with
it.
I
had
substantial
experience
with
and
I
feel
very
comfortable
on
the
qualities
of
the
firm
that
I
did
select
to
go
through
this
process.
Q
So
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions,
but
I
can
assure
you
that
I
took
the
mission
given
to
me
by
counsel
quite
seriously.
I
was
not
in
town
for
some
of
that,
but
I
made
sure
that
I
took
the
time
when
I
was
away
to
move
this
forward.
So
there
were
no
delays
during
my
my
brief
break
from
from
Palm
Springs.
J
Q
Much
so
and
the
proposal
that
I
received
from
the
Myers
nhave
firm,
they
have
an
incredible
practice,
going
up
and
down
the
state
of
California
and
doing
this,
and
so
their
proposal
detail
literally
up
and
down
the
state
of
California
very
similar
investigations,
and
that
was
one
of
the
strong
reasons
that
I
had
decided
to
say
this
firm
knows
what
they're
doing
they
know
the
questions
to
ask.
They
can
get
the
done
efficiently.
Q
The
budget
that
they
proposed
was
by
the
way
just
to
make
clear
from
the
staff
report
it's
roughly
fifty
five
thousand
dollars
or
fifty
thousand
roughly
in
legal
fees
that
up
to
7500
in
disbursements
and
the
thirty
thousand
is
so.
We
don't
have
to
come
before
you
again.
Obviously
it's
for
contingencies
if
something
comes
up,
but
there's
no
change
from
the
budget
that
was
provided
in
their
RFP,
which
is
Melissa,
said
roughly
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
legal
fees
and
I
want
to
stress
that
that
is
pretty
much.
Q
The
number
that
I
had
in
my
head,
so
I
had
a
number
based
on
my
own
experience.
I
worked
on
a
number
of
investigations
when
I
was
a
partner
at
least
working
on
RFPs
and
explaining
them
to
clients.
So
I
had
a
pretty
good
idea
of
what
this
one
was
going
to
be,
and
the
50,000
number
was
very
much
in
line
of
kind
of
what
the
benchmark
number
that
I
had
in
my
in
my
head,
Thank.
Q
It
was
harder
to
figure
out
said:
I
only
got
one
response,
the
one
that
I
did
not
pursue
was
based
on
a
lidded
they're.
Practically
their
forensic
was
based
on
a
per
document,
and
it
really
was
assumed
that
they
were
doing
ediscovery
and
and
and
I
couldn't
really
figure
out
what
it
was
going
to
be,
and
so
I
said,
the
law
firm
part
of
it
was
responsive.
Q
Honestly,
the
forensic
part
was
non-responsive
and
and
sort
of
taking
the
prerogative
of
how
cities
the
city,
you
know
how
staffs
or
50s
with
bids
I
mean
it
was
non-responsive
in.
In
that
sense
it
was
based
on
this
is
litigation
and
we're
going
to
look
for
keywords
and
we're
going
to
charge
you
based
on
keywords
and
that's
clearly
not
what
this
investigation
was
about.
So
it
was
sort
of
hard
to
price
in
that
respect,
and
the
other
firm
has
said,
provided
a
price
very
much
in
line
of
my
other
expectations.
Q
Thousand
dollars
in
legal
fees
is
the
number
that
I
had
in
my
in
my
head.
I
I,
probably
would
have,
you
know,
done
a
lot
more
anything
number
than
higher
than
that.
But
this
absolutely
is
the
number
and
the
hours
that
are
budgeted
and
there's
gonna
be
a
mix
between
partner
time
of
counsel
time,
and
you
know
junior
staff
time
and
they
that's
included
in
their
own
budgeting.
Software
I
don't
have
the
behind
the
sort
of
numbers,
but
they
did
provide
a
total
for
that
and
I
put
that
in
the
staff
report.
Q
Q
You
know
if
sort
of
a
regular
corporate
litigation
would
have
been
eight
hundred
and
then
the
rest
is
an
up
$7,500
in
disbursements,
but
I
made
it
clear
to
them
that
that
was
a
cap,
but
please
be
efficient
and
you
know
as
they're
trying
to
be
there.
They
expect
to
get
their
interviews
done
in
two
days.
Thank.
C
You
and
just
my
last
question
one
thing
that
the
city
attorney
does
for
us,
which
he's
not
working
on
this
investigation,
is
to
oversee
that
budget
from
the
law
firm
and
their
hours.
Are
you
gonna
do
that
and
carefully
monitor
it
so
that
they're
not
overspending
and
what
you
think
this
is
worth
yeah.
Q
And
I'll
be
working
very
closely
with
with
mr.
King
on
that,
because
he's
the
one
who's
sort
of
he's
not
involved
and
there's
a
you
know,
an
ethical
barrier
between
him
and
the
city
attorney,
so
I'll
be
working
closely
with
with
that.
They
probably
haven't
done
all
that
much
for
the
simple
reason
that
the
interviews
have
not
occurred
until
the
week
after
next
I
believe
it's
when
they're
scheduled
for
so
I'm
sure
they're
preparing
the
clock
is
running.
Q
I
tried
to
keep
my
own
conversations
to
a
sort
of
efficient
minimum,
because
when
I
call
them
as
pating,
the
clock
is
running
and
I
I
know
how
it
feels
and
I
know
what
my
own
clients
have
said
when
I
do
that.
So
once
again,
there's
a
lot
of
this
that
I
had
thirty
years
of
experience
of
doing
this
and
I'm
honored
to
have
you
know
been
been
tasked
with
this
by
Council,
but
I'm
doing
this.
Q
C
C
Just
make
a
comment:
I
really
just
like
spending
money
on
this
as
well:
every
single
dollar
we
spend.
We
we
guard
carefully.
We
know
the
public
entrusts
us
with
public
monies.
Part
of
our
job
is
dealing
with
exposure
to
litigation,
and
we
just
spent
three
hours
before
this
meeting
spending
city
money
on
litigation
and
so
as
an
employment
law
attorney.
C
Who
does
cases
that
are
similar
to
this
I
know
that
this
amount,
though
it's
seemingly
a
lot
in
it,
and
you
know,
I,
don't
question
that
it's
far
below
the
amount
that
even
one
employment
law
case
would
cost
the
city,
if
not,
if
we
had
many
and
so
I,
think
that
their
record-keeping
function
of
this
investigation,
this
record-keeping
of
what
had
occurred
will
be
important
in
protecting
the
city
against
liability.
That
could
be
two
hundred
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
or
more,
and
so
for
that
reason
alone.
I'm
supporting
this
motion.
E
Any
last
comments:
staff,
okay,
in
that
case
I,
think
we've
said
what
we
need
to
say
on
this
mr.
Friedman
again,
thank
you
very
much.
It
sounds
to
me
also
as
though
we
were
thanking
you
and
at
the
same
time
asking
you
for
more
work.
I
think
that
that
sort
of
got
snuck
in
on
you
and
I
hope
you're,
okay
with
it,
and
we
will
release
you
from
service
and
I'm
sure
no
less
than
two
years
right
and
we're
done
so
with
that
I'm.
Looking
for
a
motion,
oh
I
have.
P
E
A
H
Mayor
just
wanted
to
point
out:
we
need
to
update
the
non-discrimination
provision
I,
think
because
this
was
a
extension
which
has
been
going
I
think
since
2009
it
might
have
been
missed,
but
we
should
probably
update
it
in
this
as
well.
So
and
I
spoke
to
the
city
attorney
about
it
as
we
walked
in.
So
thank
you.
A
A
Thank
you
very
much.

Please.
Mr.
N
Mayor
and
members
of
council
item
to
be
as
a
request
for
approval
of
a
preliminary
plan,
development
and
major
architectural
application
for
a
multi-family
project
that
will
be
located
in
the
interior
of
the
mural
on
development.
I'll
go
ahead
and
switch
to
the
PowerPoint
presentation
here.
If
we
could
bring
that
up
on
the
screen
in
terms
of
the
location
of
the
multifamily
site.
Here
on
the
screen,
you
see
the
entire
three
hundred
and
nine
acre
parcel
that
is
Marilyn.
N
The
multi-family
parcel
is
outlined
in
red
there,
it's
in
the
southwest
quadrant
of
the
development,
and
it
will
encompass
approximately
one
hundred
and
fifty
three
residential
units
there
within
the
multifamily
component.
In
terms
of
the
approvals
for
this,
the
marilyn
project
was
originally
approved
back
in
2004.
Under
that
2004
approval,
it
requires
the
two
multifamily
parcels
within
the
marilyn
development
to
be
approved
as
a
planned
development
district.
N
However,
it
also
indicates
that
they
must
adhere
to
the
are
three
multifamily
development
standards,
and
so
the
applicant
has
filed
a
planned
development
district
application,
but
the
project
adheres
to
the
are
three
development
standard
and
no
waivers
are
being
requested
from
development
standards.
In
addition,
the
City
Council
adopted
revised
design
guidelines
for
Maryland
back
in
2016.
This
project
will
also
be
required
to
adhere
to
those
design
guidelines
and
that's
what
the
Planning
Commission
and
the
architectural
Advisory
Committee
have
reviewed
relative
to
this
project.
In
terms
of
the
approval
process,
we've
been
moving
on
this
project.
N
Incorporating
the
comments
made
by
the
Planning
Commission,
the
applicant
then
went
forward
to
the
architectural
Advisory
Committee,
the
architectural
advisory
committee
reviewed
the
project
in
May
of
2018
and
then
finalized
their
recommendations
in
June.
This
was
then
forwarded
to
the
Planning
Commission,
who
reviewed
and
recommended
approval
of
the
project
in
July
in
terms
of
the
actual
application
itself
again,
there's
a
hundred
and
fifty
three
units
they
will
be
both
attached
and
detached
condominium
units.
N
There
are
a
total
of
five
different
floor
plans
that
range
from
approximately
1,100
square
feet
to
about
1,800
square
feet
in
size.
The
condominiums
will
be
between
one
and
two
storeys
in
height
each
will
have
an
enclosed
two-car
garage.
There
will
be
guest
parking
that
is
scattered
throughout
the
development.
The
units
will
also
have
the
option
for
having
a
small
pool
within
a
private
yard
area.
N
However,
the
entire
complex
is
closely
adjacent
to
the
amenity
Center,
where
there
are
two
pools
and
other
recreational
features
for
residents
to
enjoy
in
terms
of
the
layout
as
a
site.
It's
a
rectangular
site.
There
is
a
u-shaped
driveway
that
goes
through
the
project
and
one
of
the
key
components
of
the
project
is:
it
has
a
central
pedestrian
paseo
that
goes
through
the
center
of
the
project
with
a
park
at
the
south
end
of
that
another
thing
that
you'll
see
is
the
arrows
off
to
the
right
along
each
of
the
auto
courts.
N
There
is
Austrian
access
to
the
olive
groves
on
either
side
of
the
project,
and
so
there
are
many
opportunities
for
residents
of
this
project
to
directly
access
the
olive
groves
in
the
open
space.
That's
within
the
Maryland
development.
The
detail
that
I
have
there
on
the
Left
shows
the
design
of
the
central
Paseo
area.
This
is
something
that
both
AAC
and
Planning
Commission
had
a
lot
of
comments
about
in
terms
of
that
design
and
they've
done
a
great
job
in
terms
of
the
pedestrian
walkway
that
goes
through,
that
it
was
originally
a
straight
shot.
N
They've
now
offset
it,
and
also
provided
variety
in
terms
of
one
and
two
storey
units
along
that
central
paseo
and
providing
shade
trees
and
shade
structures
along
that
central
paseo
in
terms
of
the
layout
of
the
units
themselves,
they'll
be
grouped
in
units
of
four
six
and
eight
units
along
auto
courts
on
either
side
of
the
central
driveway,
the
u-shaped
driveway.
You
can
see
here
on
the
floor
plan
on
the
left
that
there
are
again
attached
units
and
detached
units.
Primarily
it
is
the
one-story
units
that
are
attached
and
the
2-story
units
that
are
detached.
N
Let's
just
going
back
to
its
proximity,
the
multifamily
site
to
the
amenity
Center
in
the
clubhouse
I've
got
the
clubhouse
circled
there
with
the
oval
red
circle,
and
then
the
outline
is
of
the
multifamily
development.
But
one
of
the
key
things
that
we
wanted
to
make
sure
happened.
This
was
discussed
in
at
length
in
Planning,
Commission
and
architectural
advisory
committee
is
to
make
sure
that
residents
of
the
multifamily
project
were
within
close
walking
distance
to
the
clubhouse
and
amenities.
N
As
you
can
see
here
from
this
sheet,
that's
also
contained
in
your
backup
materials
residents
in
this
complex
are
generally
within
a
five-minute
walk
of
the
amenity
Center.
The
outer
reaches
of
the
development
are
about
eight
minutes
from
the
amenities
center,
so
all
will
be
within
walking
distance
again
and
available
to
the
Groves
that
are
immediately
adjacent
to
the
site
in
terms
of
its
conformance
to
development
standards.
N
I
cited
mentioned
earlier,
it
does
conform
to
all
of
the
are
three
multifamily
zoning
district
standards
in
terms
of
its
lot
coverage,
height,
limit
parking
requirements
and
open
space
requirements
within
the
development
parcel
itself.
The
density
of
the
project
is
ten
point
three
units
to
the
acre,
which
is,
in
conformance
with
the
general
plan,
medium
density,
residential
designation
that
is
appropriate
to
the
site,
and
then
there
is
a
settlement
agreement,
that's
applicable
to
the
Maryland
development.
No
more
than
a
maximum
of
1,150
units
can
be
developed.
N
N
What
would
be
required
next
is
they
would
present
their
final
plan,
development
to
the
architectural
Advisory
Committee
and
the
Planning
Commission
for
approval,
and
so
the
Planning
Commission
and
architectural
Advisory
Committee
would
review
the
colors
materials
and
construction
details
of
the
units
and
the
landscape
plan
in
detail
and
make
sure
that
it's
consistent
with
the
preliminary
approval.
That
concludes
my
presentation
to
you.
The
applicant
also
has
a
PowerPoint
presentation
for
you.
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have
before
the
applicant
comes
forward.
O
N
O
B
I
C
It's
red,
but
then
it's
not
on
now.
It's
on.
Thank
you.
I
just
have
one
or
two
questions
before
the
public
meeting
a
public
hearing
and
then
I'll
ask
questions
of
staff
after
that.
So
I
see
that
we're
approving
a
landscaping
plan
as
well
just
for
the
multifamily
area
and
so
I
couldn't
quite
tell
which
landscape
plan
we're
approving
and
for
what
area
and
the
status
of
the
landscape
plan
for
the
remainder
of
the
property.
So.
N
N
It
begins
to
get
into
the
details
with
more
specificity
on
pages
56
and
continuing
thereafter,
with
a
preliminary
plan,
development
approval,
you're,
looking
at
a
preliminary
landscape
plan
once
the
final
goes
to
the
architectural
Advisory
Committee
and
the
Planning
Commission
they'll,
look
at
things
such
as
actual
plant
sizes
and
the
planting
details,
irrigation
plans,
etc.
So
what
you're
looking
at
is
a
preliminary
landscape
plan
this
evening
and.
C
C
Coming
into
this
is
the
first
time
that
I've
seen
this
project
sitting
here
on
the
dais
I'm,
trying
to
remember
what
the
City
Council
did
at
that
time.
So
they
had
the
City
Council
had
sent
it
back
to
Planning
Commission,
to
look
into
the
orchards
and
the
olive
trees
and
make
recommendations,
and
so
did
that
come
forward.
Or
was
that
a
final
decision
by
planning
the.
N
Decision
by
planning
was
a
final
to
sue.
What
happened
was
the
City
Council
approved
the
revisions
to
the
plan
development,
the
design
guidelines
and
the
landscape
plan
in
November
of
2016,
with
two
conditions
number
one?
They
wanted
the
Planning
Commission
to
further
study
the
olive
grove
concept
and
look
at
those
materials
and
then
also
City
Council
wanted
them
to
look
at
the
existing
water
retention
Lakes
that
were
part
of
the
Golf
Course.
When
it
was
developed
back
in
2007,
the
Planning
Commission
held
a
study
session
to
look
at
the
landscape
materials
in
January
of
2017.
N
They
sent
it
forward
to
the
AAC
in
March
of
2017
before
doing
a
final
approval
of
the
Groves
in
April
of
2017.
Now
they
did
consider
other
materials.
Those
were
part
of
the
study
sessions
in
terms
of
is
there
anything
other
than
olive
trees.
That
would
be
appropriate
for
this
open
space
area.
After
looking
at
the
alternatives
in
terms
of
water
usage
in
terms
of
the
impacts
in
terms
of
fruit
bearing
trees
and
things
like
that,
it
was
ultimately
decided
that
olive
trees
were
the
best
choice
for
that
site.
A
E
Some
of
my
questions
have
been
asked
and
answered
director.
You
know.
I
know
this
has
been
kicking
around
the
city
for
many
years
and
in
fact,
I
can't
remember,
Councilwoman,
Middleton
and
I
worked
on
this
or
not.
We
did
you
did
and
I
don't
know
if
I
did
or
not
I
I
guess
I've
seen
too
many
projects
in
front
of
me,
but
when
we
approve
a
planned
development,
district
I
know
that
the
Planning
Commission
that
I
was
part
of
revived
the
concept
of
public
benefit.
E
N
Going
back
to
the
2004
approval,
any
public
benefit
would
have
been
considered
at
that
point.
In
and
I'll
apologize,
I
can't
remember
exactly
what
was
identified
as
a
public
benefit.
Then
one
of
the
things
that
was
discussed
as
the
applicant
requested
to
convert
the
golf
course
to
the
open
space
was
to
have
that
available
to
members
of
the
public
and
so
in
the
2016
approval
that
was
granted
by
the
City
Council.
N
One
of
the
things
that
was
requested
was
that
they
leave
the
gates
open
so
that
members
of
the
public
could
access
the
trails
and
the
open
space
during
the
day,
and
so
there
was
an
additional
public
benefit
that
was
granted
at
that
point
in
time
to
allow
public
access
during
the
day,
to
the
open
space,
to
the
trails
and
to
those
amenities.
Thank.
E
N
A
R
R
No
so
I
worked
for
free
whole
communities.
We
are
managers
on
behalf
of
the
aerilon
project
and
we
certainly
appreciate
your
time
this
evening
and
then
that
regard
Flynn
did
such
a
thorough
job
of
presenting
the
project
that
I
don't
have
much
more
to
add
in
that
regard.
I
believe
that
he
did
a
great
job
of
identifying
the
key
features
of
what
we're
proposing
in
the
PD
D
I
do,
however,
have
answers
to
certain
questions
that
have
been
posed,
which
is
to
address
councilmembers
Middletons
question
on
the
smaller
units.
R
Roughly
forty,
three
of
those
163
proposed
units
are
scuse
me.
153
units
are
going
to
be
of
the
smaller
variety,
so
that's
43
percent,
and
to
address
Mayor
Pro
Tem
Roberts
question
about
price
points
for
the
smaller
units.
Just
looking
around
at
the
local
markets,
there
are
some
actively
selling
similar
projects,
Icahn
being
one
of
them.
R
That
is
nearby,
albeit
those
are
larger
units,
so
looking
at
those
price
per
foot
numbers
and
applying
them
to
our
smaller
units,
you're
looking
at
units
that
start
in
roughly
the
mid
$300,000
range,
and
we
do
have
our
design
team
here
to
the
extent
you
have
specific
questions
about
the
nature
of
what
we're
planning,
we
would
have
to
address
those
if
you
would
like
to
pose
anything
related
to
the
architecture
or
the
landscaping.
Recognizing,
of
course,
as
Flynn
pointed
out
that
this
is
a
preliminary
PDD.
R
A
O
Brad
I
was
there
for
the
Planning
Commission
and
for
the
innumerable
number
of
meetings
that
we
had
over
olive
trees
versus
other
kinds
of
I
was
surprised
within
the
last
couple
of
weeks
to
get
a
few
more
questions
regarding
the
selection
of
olive
trees
from
individuals
in
the
public.
Just
for
the
public
record,
could
you
give
a
quick
answer
on
why
olive
trees
were
chosen
as
opposed
to
other
trees
and
what
this
particular
variety
of
olive
tree
and
why
it
was
chosen
in
comparison
to
others?
Sure
first.
R
And
foremost,
we
did
exhaustive
research
on
what
to
do
with
this
open
space,
and
the
first
obvious
answer
was
well
rebuild
the
Golf
Course.
Unfortunately,
rebuilding
the
Golf
Course
has
a
number
of
implications,
not
the
least
of
which
is
golf
courses
tend
to
use
up
significant
amount
of
resources,
not
that
least
of
which
is
water,
and
so
as
our
litmus
test
as
to
what
we
could
we
could
install
instead
of
the
golf
course.
R
R
Many
of
them
use
up
far
more
water
than
even
golf
courses
do,
and
they
are
therefore
they
fell
off.
The
list
some
were
would
have
difficulty
surviving
in
that
relatively
harsh
climatic
conditions.
We
looked
at
citrus,
which
has
a
long
history
in
the
desert,
but
this
is
a
particularly
windy
spot
and
you
know
it's
just
not
conducive.
We
looked
at
grapevines,
for
example,
thinking
of
vineyards
and
again
weather-related
issues
prevented
that,
and
it
just
so
happens
that
when
we
went
on
down
the
list
we
ended
up
at
olives.
R
R
So,
for
all
of
those
reasons,
that's
where
we
ended
up
and
I'm
sorry
I
should
add
one
more
thing
before
I
stop
rambling,
which
is
a
lot
of
other
fruit
bearing
trees,
have
the
propensity
to
attract
pests
because
they
contain
a
lot
of
sugar
and
then
rats
and
other
things
that
are
that
we
don't
want
to
have
around
our
residents
come
out.
Olives
are
really
not
at
all
interesting
to
wildlife
of
any
sort
so
but
for
I,
guess
of
the
occasional
quail
that
likes
the
fermented
version.
They're,
pretty
pest
free,
I.
A
C
You
I
didn't
want
to
open
this
can
of
worms,
but
council
woman,
Lisa
Middleton
did
for
me
so
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
on
that
and
I
know.
You've
already
planted
a
lot
of
the
olive
groves
they
are
included
in
this
project.
Have
you
and
I
saw
here?
Are
you
still,
including
some
of
the
the
citrus
around
you
had
some
pockets
of
citrus
trees
within
these
olive
groves
surrounding
the
multi?
Is
that
still
your
plan?
Yes,.
E
O
A
O
Want
to
compliment
Freehold
on
three
very
specific
areas.
One
of
the
issues
that
we
frequently
faced
on
the
Planning
Commission
with
large
projects
was
getting
a
developer
to
develop
a
central,
large
amenity
center
with
swimming
pools,
as
opposed
to
insisting
that
every
small
lot
of
5,000
square
feet
or
less
had
a
swimming
pool
attached
to
it
and
freehold
has
designed
what
will
be
a
really
beautiful
amenity,
Center
and
I.
O
O
So
I
wish,
frankly,
there
were
more
than
43
of
those
units
under
1200
square
feet,
but
this
is
a
start
and
I
hope
it
becomes
an
example
for
other
neighborhoods
or
other
developers
as
they
move
forward.
Lastly,
as
I
followed
the
course
of
this
development,
freehold
has
done
a
remarkably
positive
job
in
reaching
out
to
the
neighborhood
surrounding
them
and
bringing
those
neighborhoods
to
become
allies
of
this
development,
as
opposed
to
opponents
and
I
want
to
thank
any
developer.
Who
does
that
kind
of
reach
out?
C
You
I
also
just
wanted
to
compliment
the
applicant
for
an
excellent
and
beautiful
project.
There's
a
lot
of
amenities
there
that
I
liked
looking
at
as
I
was
imagining
myself
living
here.
I
think
it's
a
beautiful
project.
Thank
you
for
all
of
your
work.
Thank
you
to
our
planning
staff,
who
is
quite
excellent
and
gave
us
a
really
thorough
report
about
decades-long
work
here
on
this
project.
I
just
wanted
to
comment
to
my
City
Council
colleagues
and
planning
commissioners
and
anyone
else,
who's
listening
about
about
mono
crops
of
having
olive
orchards
and
I
know.
C
We've
talked
about
it
ad
nauseam
and
I'm
opening
a
can
of
worms.
Here,
we've
talked
about
the
pollen,
but
a
lot
of
projects
and
a
lot
of
cities
like
the
city
of
Davis
are
actually
requiring
a
diversity
of
trees
and
if
you
look
at
their
research
for
biodiversity
of
species
and
and
wild
animals
that
live
in
actually
golf
courses
or,
what's
better,
is
a
diversity
of
crops.
So
I
think
this
is
a
wonderful
solution
that
you've
come
up
with.
C
I'm
really
excited
about
your
solution
here
to
reduce
the
water
usage
for
golf
courses,
I
think
in
the
future,
when
we're
moving
forward
on
projects
like
this.
If
we
can
also
think
about
biodiversity,
because
actually
monoculture
of
one
plant
has
less
biodiversity
even
than
a
golf
course,
and
we
know
a
lot
of
wild
animals
live
in
those
spaces.
C
So
thinking
about
that
and
our
planning
staff
can
look
at
that
when
we're
moving
forward,
because
I
expect
that
you're
sort
of
paving
the
way
and
a
lot
of
projects
are
going
to
move
away
from
having
a
lot
of
grass
in
them
and
I
think
this
is
a
wonderful
solution.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
comment
and
I'm
happy
to
also
support
this
project.
I
A
A
A
Public
hearing
item
is
public
hearing
item
number
to
see
a
2018
C,
vague
transportation,
uniform
mitigation,
feed,
tumf,
nexus
study,
tumf
increase
and
an
ordinance
repealing
and
replacing
chapter
890
of
the
Palm
Springs
Municipal
Code
related
to
the
transportation
uniform
mitigation
fee
staff
report.
Please
Thank.
D
You,
mayor
and
council,
this
is
a
public
hearing
item
to
consider
an
increase
to
a
developer
impact
fee,
known
as
the
transportation
uniform
mitigation
fee.
This
is
a
fee
that
we
collect
on
behalf
of
the
Coachella
Valley
Association
of
Governments,
and
it's
really
what
helps
us
operate
the
measure
a
program
and
generates
the
funds
that
deliver
all
of
the
regional
projects
that
you've
seen
over
the
last
20
30
years
in
the
Coachella.
D
Valley
CV
administers
this
program
and
the
last
time
that
there
was
an
increase
to
Tom
was
in
2006
and
so
to
keep
up
with
the
cost
of
construction.
As
we've
seen
with
our
own
projects,
Eve
AG
undertook
a
public
process
to
do
a
nexus
study
on
what
the
cost
of
all
of
the
projects
in
its
portfolio,
those
that
are
proposed
and
anticipated
to
be
delivered
throughout
the
Catawba
Valley
by
all
the
different
cities.
D
What
the
cost
of
that
would
be,
and
what
would
the
fee
need
to
be
to
support
that
cost
and,
as
detailed
in
your
staff
report,
their
initial
fee
calculated
at
seven
hundred
and
fifty
one
dollars
a
trip
which
was
an
increase
of
400%
over
the
current
rate
of
a
hundred
and
ninety
two
dollars
a
trip?
The
way
that
this
works
is
that
each
project,
whether
it's
a
residential
or
commercial
or
industrial
type
of
project,
generates
a
certain
number
of
trips
based
on
the
size
or
the
type
of
land
use.
D
They
coordinated
with
the
Building
Industry
Association
and
desert
Valley
Builders
Association,
who
often
tracks
agencies
that
consider
increases
to
develop
our
impact
fees.
They
requested
C
vague
to
review
the
portfolio
projects
that
C
vague
and
the
other
member
agencies
like
Palm
Springs,
would
realistically
deliver
in
the
next
20
years
that
was
completed
and
ultimately
reduced
the
cost
of
that
portfolio
projects
by
over
a
billion
dollars
and
resulting
in
a
further
reduction
of
the
increase
to
the
developer
mitigation
fee
to
two
hundred
and
forty
five
dollars
a
trip.
D
Also
detailed
for
your
benefit
is
some
suggestions
that
were
adopted
by
the
seve
AG
executive
committee
in
streamlining,
see
vegs
administration
of
the
humph
program
and
how
you
calculate
tumf
regarding
certain
commercial
projects
that
manifests
in
the
tump
handbook
that
each
member
agency
must
adopt,
and
so
that
was
there
for
your
consideration.
So
you
understood
that
that
would
be
part
of
the
new
tom
handbook.
I
showed
some
typical
examples
of
the
increasing
fees
for
residential
and
non-residential
projects,
and
there
was
also
approved
by
the
sieve
AG
executive
committee,
some
eliminations
of
exemptions.
D
So
there
are
four
exemptions
that
previously
were
not
required
to
pay
tumf,
that
being
lower
and
low
and
lower-income
residential
housing,
public
buildings,
buildings
used
for
religious
purposes
and
solar
facilities.
So
the
executive
committee
has
agreed
and
approved
eliminating
all
of
those
exemptions
except
retaining
the
exemption
for
affordable
housing,
so
that
exemption
still
exists
with
the
tumf
program
and
again
trying
to
keep
pace
with
inflation.
D
Seve
egg
will
be
annually
reviewing
the
CPI
and
the
sivak
executive
committee
will
make
a
determination
whether
an
adjustment
will
be
made
in
each
year.
That
will
then
require
each
member
agency
to
do
what
we're
doing
today,
which
is
to
comply
with
state
law,
have
a
hold
of
public
hearing
and
and
consider
the
annual
increases
to
that
developer
impact
fee
known
as
tumf.
The
last
piece
of
this
is
the
tumf
ordinance.
D
So
when
measure
a
was
originally
adopted
in
1980,
eight
in
89,
the
city
adopted
an
uncodified
ordinance
to
basically
allow
the
city
to
levy
this
fee
and
then
in
2006
that
ordinance
was
repealed
and
one
was
codified.
It's
necessary
at
this
point
to
basically
repeal
and
replace
the
ordinance
that
we
have
in
effect,
so
that
it's
the
full
context
of
the
sivak
model
ordinance
just
ensure
that
we're
being
consistent
with
our
implementation
of
the
of
the
measure,
a
program
Eric
Powell
from
C
bags.
D
Here,
if
you
have
any
specific
questions,
we're
simply
the
mechanics
of
implementing
the
tump
fee,
that's
already
been
approved
by
C
vague.
Essentially,
we
we
are
required
to
handle
this
process
per
state
law,
but,
as
a
member
agency
of
C
vague,
we
are
required
to
levy
the
tumf
and
collect
it
on
behalf
of
C
bag.
D
In
order
to
then
receive
our
local
measure,
a
funds
through
the
measure,
a
program
so
there's
a
lot
of
information
in
the
staff
report,
but
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions
and
if
you
have
questions
of
C
VAG's
process
and
their
analysis,
Eric
house
here
for
your
for
your
benefit
and
with
that
that
completes
my
report.
Mr.
mayor
Thank,.
A
You,
mr.
fuller,
we
have
any
questions
of
staff
before
we
open
public
hearings,
okay,
seeing
none,
we
will
open
the
public
hearing.
Do
we
have
an
applicant
wishes
to
speak
on
this
I?
Don't
think
we
would
wait.
Okay,
seeing
that
do
we
have
any
no
public
comment,
no
public
comments.
Therefore,
we
will
close
the
public
comments
portion,
okay,
comments
from
staff,
councillor
Middleton
I,.
O
Think
the
assistant
city
manager,
for
a
really
good
report
on
this
Chum
fees
are
not
frequently
understood.
There
really
are
a
very
basic
item
when
you
build
something
new
you're
going
to
increase
the
amount
of
transportation
needs
that
we
have
and
the
developer
of
those
news
projects
should
pay
part
of
the
cost
of
the
additional
demands
that
are
going
to
be
placed
on
our
roadways
and
that's
what
these
fees
are
designed.
O
You
do.
The
staff
at
sivak
did
a
really
good
job
in
working
with
the
building
industry
and
formulating
a
compromise,
but
I
would
like
to
bring
up
that.
The
original
proposal
that
came
to
the
sieve,
AG
Transportation
Committee,
did
not
include
retaining
the
exemption
for
low-income
housing
and
it
was
after
comments
at
the
Transportation
Committee,
led
in
particular
by
super
supervisor,
Manny
Perez
that
the
Transportation
Committee
voted
unanimously
to
retain
the
exemption
for
low-income
housing
and
I'm
pleased
that
the
CV
Executive
Committee
supported
that
decision
of
the
Transportation
Committee.
Thank
you
thank.
A
B
A
Thank
you
city
clerk
that
completes
our
public
hearings.
Next
item
is
item
3,
a
legislative
introduction
of
an
ordinance
to
reauthorize
the
collection
of
a
fee
to
support
public
educational
and
government
PEG
channel
facilities
within
the
city
and
also
adoption
of
an
identical
interim
urgency
ordinance
staff
report.
Please
Thank.
G
You,
mr.
mayor
members
of
the
council,
this
item
deals
with
the
television
that
people
are
watching
right
now
we
are
reauthorizing
a
local
fee
that
relates
to
state
law,
the
digital
information
and
video
competition
Act
in
2006
represented
the
state
of
California
taking
over
the
television,
cable,
franchises
and
ordinances.
All
over
the
state
cities
like
Palm
Springs
exist
that
provide
for
these
fees,
while
the
state
law
provided
for
the
expiration
of
those
franchises
triggering
a
little
bit
of
a
domino
in
all
the
cities.
G
The
cities
around
the
state
like
Palm
Springs,
are
adopting
these
reauthorization
ordinances
that
include
automatic
renewal
provisions.
Cities
like
Palm,
Springs
and
you'll
note
that
ours
does
include
such
a
provision,
so
we
don't
have
to
come
back
and
do
this
the
next
time
that
the
cable
franchise
expires
in
Sacramento
I.
Think
the
staff
report
is
self-explanatory.
Mr.
E
Mr.
cotton,
this
is
probably
unrelated
specifically
to
this,
but
it
did
beg
the
question
in
my
head
at
least,
and
what
it
costs
for
us
to
operate.
I
should
have
sent
you
this
question
earlier,
but
I
just
thought
of
it
and
what
it
costs
for
us
to
operate
a
TV
station
and
as
much
as
it's
nice
that
we
get
these
fees.
E
They
seem
very
small,
and
it's
been
my
hope
and
working
with
the
communication
subcommittee,
that
we
start
to
use
our
TV
station
to
get
more
and
better
information
to
the
public
and
more
entertaining
information
as
well.
As
you
know,
the
ongoing
use
for
our
council
meetings
and
other
board
and
commissions.
So
can
anyone
answer
that
question?
Do
we
know
Erin
your
smile.
E
Do
we
have
a
clue
what
it
costs
for
us
arseny?
Does
anybody
know
what
it
costs
to
operate
that
station?
You
know
the
public
I
know
very
much
appreciates
that
we're
able
to
to
simulcast
and
do
this
but
I
think
it's
always
good
for
the
public
to
know
what
it
costs
for
us
to
do.
This
type
of
thing,
I'd.
A
You
I
just
like
to
make
one
comment
tonight
for
the
first
time
and
with
our
new
system,
we
actually
are
having
subtitles
on
the
screen
for
people
who
wish
to
see
the
subtitles,
so
people
who
have
hearing
impairment
or
just
want
to
be
able
to
read
what
we're
saying,
and
it
was
really
a
really
nice
addition
to
our
television
station.
Although
I
really
wish,
we
could
go
back
to
regular
definition
instead
of
hi-def.
A
B
A
You
next
item
under
legislative,
is
item
3b
and
enter
emergency
ordinance,
adopting
a
temporary
moratorium
on
demolition
of
substantial
alteration
or
substantial
alteration
of
structures
built
before
1969
class-3,
historic
structures
to
allow
for
consideration
of
appropriate
amendments
to
the
general
plan
or
municipal
code,
in
accordance
with
government
code
sections.
Six,
five,
eight
five,
eight
staff
report
please,
mr.
N
Mayor
and
members
of
council,
this
item
is
being
brought
forward
at
the
direction
of
City
Council,
and
what
it
proposes
is
a
moratorium
on
all
class.
Three
historic
structures
in
the
city
of
Palm,
Springs
and
I
would
ask
if
we
could
have
the
power
brought
up
in
terms
of
a
class-3
structure,
it's
defined
as
our
in
our
code
as
any
structure
that's
constructed
prior
to
1969.
N
It
doesn't
require
a
formal
designation
process.
Again,
any
structure
prior
to
1969
is
defined
as
a
class-3
structure.
The
moratorium
has
proposed
as
an
interim
urgency
ordinance,
and
so
it
allows
a
45-day
moratorium.
While
work
is
underway
on
a
draft
ordinance,
the
moratorium
requires
a
4/5
boat
of
the
City
Council.
It
would
become
effective
immediately
for
anything
that
is
currently
in
process
and
it
applies
to
either
the
demolition
or
substantial
alteration
of
any
class-3
structure.
In
terms
of
the
definition
of
substantial
alteration,
this
is
what
it
would
entail.
N
There
are
certain
exemptions
that
would
not
apply
under
this
moratorium:
any
class,
1
or
class
2
structures
that
already
have
a
certificate
of
approval
from
the
Historic
Site,
Preservation
Board,
or
any
significant
demolition
or
alteration
to
abate,
a
public
nuisance
or
correct
federal
state
or
municipal
violations.
In
those
situations,
those
will
to
proceed
under
this
moratorium
in
terms
of
the
process.
There
is
an
ordinance
that
is
currently
in
process.
N
There
is
a
demolition
subcommittee,
as
was
explained
earlier
in
public
testimony,
that
includes
three
members
of
our
Historic
Site
Preservation
Board
and
two
members
of
our
Planning
Commission.
They
have
been
meeting
over
the
last
several
months,
looking
at
existing
ordinances
relative
to
demolition
and
alteration,
and
while
the
City
Council
was
dark,
I
want
you
to
know
that
our
subcommittee
was
working,
so
they
were
hard
at
work.
N
On
looking
at
this
draft
ordinance,
we
will
be
having
that
as
a
discussion
item
on
the
September
11th
historic
site
preservation
board,
just
looking
at
the
direction
and
some
of
the
alternatives,
and
then
we
intend
to
have
a
draft
ordinance
together
for
the
October,
9th
historic
site
preservation
board
meeting
for
them
to
review.
After
that
point,
it
would
then
be
forwarded
to
the
City
Council
ad
hoc
subcommittee,
I
believe
councilmember
Coors
and
councilmember
Roberts.
N
You
are
the
members
of
that
subcommittee,
so
once
we
have
a
draft
ordinance
will
forward
that
to
you
and
again,
we
would
expect
that
to
take
place
in
October
of
this
year
in
terms
of
the
moratorium
again
as
I
had
mentioned,
this
is
for
a
45-day
period.
If
we
need
to
do
extensions
of
the
moratorium,
the
first
extension
under
state
law
could
be
as
long
as
10
months
plus
15
days.
N
If
we
need
to
do
a
second
extension,
that
would
be
for
an
additional
12
months
again,
based
on
the
status
of
the
draft
ordinance
I,
don't
think
that
we
will
need
the
extensions
or
at
least
not
to
that
extent,
that
is
allowed
under
state
law.
That
concludes
my
presentation
to
you'd,
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have
on
this
item.
Okay,.
H
You
mayor
first
I
really
want
to
thank
the
planning
director
and
the
the
committee
who's
been
working
on
this
I
know
members
of
the
HS
PB
are
here,
and
you
know
this
was
requested
because
what
we
were
starting
to
see
just
so
the
public
knows,
is
people
doing
a
remodel
that
literally
left
up
one
outside
wall
and
destroyed
homes
that
were
built
in
the
40s
and
50s.
There's
one
pretty
close
to
where
the
mayor
and
I
live.
The
mayor
had
some
great
pictures
of
it
and
it
was
literally
a
piece
of
a
wall.
Six.
H
Yeah
six
feet
of
wall,
and
that
is
considered
a
remodel
so
moving.
This
forward
is
something
you
really
much
appreciate
to
avoid
that
situation
happening
and
I
think
the
timeline
is
good.
I
appreciate
people
working
over
the
summer
because
we
don't
want
it
to
lay
this.
So
people
don't
know
what
they
can
do
with
their
property,
so
I
think,
hopefully
not
extending
it
by
too
much
and
I
think
the
schedule
people
from
working
on
has
been
very
fast
and
so
I.
Thank
you
for
that.
N
Terms
of
the
abatement
of
a
public
nuisance
or
to
correct
federal
state
municipal
violations,
that's
something
that
would
be
initially
screened
by
our
Department
Department
of
Planning,
Services,
Building
and
Safety
Department
and
then
forwarded
to
the
city,
attorney
or
city
manager
for
final
review,
primarily
under
the
abatement
of
a
public
nuisance.
We'd
be
looking
for
direction
from
the
City
Attorney's
office.
On
that,
okay.
E
How
about
now,
okay,
we're
back
so
again,
I
wanted
to
thank
you,
director
and
I,
also
want
to
thank
the
HS
PB
for
their
work
on
this.
I
have
one
concern,
and
that
is
the
percentages
or
levels
of
demolition
that
are
allowable
under
this
ordinance
25%.
Was
it
a
frontage
if
you
could
pull
up
that
slide
again,
if
the
guys
in
the
back
could
pull
that
again?.
E
N
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
that
question.
You
yeah,
actually,
most
of
the
other
ordinances
that
we
looked
at
were
50%,
defining
50%
as
a
significant
alteration,
we're
actually
a
little
bit
more
stringent
than
that
in
terms
of
the
25%
that
we're
proposing
for
the
street
front,
elevations
the
alteration
or
removal
or
enclosure
of
25%
of
the
street
front.
Elevations.
So
you'll
find
that
we're
a
little
bit
more
restricted
than
some
of
the
other
ordinances
that
we
looked
at
when.
E
N
Look
at
what
the
existing
structure
is
and
then
base
that
on
the
proposed
renovations
to
that
structure.
So,
for
example,
if
they
come
in,
we
look
at
what
is
the
existing
structure
if
they
are
proposing
to
add
on
to
the
front
of
the
residence.
We
then
look
at
the
lineal
footage
of
that
addition
relative
to
the
existing
structure
and
measure
it
that
way
so
again,
we're
working
from
the
existing
structure
as
it
currently
exists.
Okay,.
E
Thank
you
and
again,
thank
you
for
your
work
on
this
and
it's
for
Kotkin.
Thanks
for
bringing
this
forward
quickly.
This
is
overdue
and
I
I
thought
we
were
be
this.
We
were
kind
of
past
seeing
nicer
older
buildings
coming
down,
but
a
few
more
have
snuck
past
us,
which
is
sad
considering
our
very
brand
is
based
on
our
historic
architecture,
so
I'm
glad
to
see
that
we're
we're
moving
on
this
quickly.
Thank
you.
I.
A
A
What
we're
just
trying
to
do
here
is
to
ensure
that
significant
architecture
in
Palm
Springs,
which
was
one
of
our
irreplaceable
treasures
too
much,
has
been
gone,
been
lost.
We
all
have
a
fair
hearing
and
will
ensure
that
before
building
is
torn
down,
that
it
does
go
through
the
formal
process,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that's
clear.
We're
not
trying
to
say
never
tear
anything
down
before
1969
and
I
think
you
know
even
on
commercial
properties.
I
think
all
of
us
are
very
proud.
A
I
know
the
three
of
us
who
have
been
on
the
council
for
on
our
second
on
our
third
year.
Here
now,
the
first
night
we
were
seated,
we
saved
that
talk
was
Plaza
and
we
see
what's
happened.
There
I
mean
it's
being
filled
with
great
businesses,
now
coffee
and
and
all
kinds
of
businesses,
and
so
it's
very
important
to
look
at
every
building
and
give
it
that
day
in
court,
counselor,
Middleton,
I.
O
Want
to
concur
with
what's
been
said
so
far,
and
I
am
certainly
supportive
of
this
moratorium.
I
do
want
to,
though,
caution
that
not
every
home
that
was
constructed
before
1969
is
in
good
condition
and
frequently
we
do
have
in
some
of
our
neighborhoods
homes
that
were
poorly
constructed,
originally
even
more
poorly
maintained
subsequently,
and
that
the
individuals
who
are
coming
in
to
take
over
and
rehabilitate
homes
that
have
been
truly
distressed,
Lee
conditioned
and
are
a
severe
nuisance
to
the
community.
C
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
that's
my
concern
as
well,
and
so
I
know
that
we
have
a
lot
of
substandard
or
uninhabitable
properties
that
were
built
before
1969,
especially
those
that
tenants
are
living
in
and
so
I've
seen
that
firsthand
and
so
I
just
want
to
give
some
feedback
there
as
we're
moving
forward
the
ordinance
to
think
about
that
and
not
have
a
process
that
would
inhibit
the
ability
of
good
landlords
or
good
owners
to
modify
or
update
properties
like
that.
That
need
a
lot
of
work,
especially
that
people
are
living
and
I.
C
N
Terms
of
the
draft
ordinance
as
I
had
mentioned,
we
expect
to
have
the
Historic
Site
Preservation
Board
review
that
at
their
October
9th
meeting
forwarding
it
then
to
the
City
Council
ad
hoc
subcommittee
later
in
the
month.
I
would
hope
to
have
it
before
the
City
Council
in
member.
So
that
puts
us
at
a
I'm.
Sorry
Eddie
is
shaking
his
head.
That's.
C
G
As
a
matter
of
fact,
there's
a
city
staff
report,
which
is
actually
the
council's
report,
which
is
mandatory
under
the
statute
that
will
be
published
ten
days
before
the
end
of
the
moratorium
just
after
the
October
9th
hearing
that
director
is
just
referenced
and
I
suspect
that
he
and
my
office
will
both
work
with
the
council
subcommittee
on
this
of
Mayor
Pro,
Tem,
Roberts
and
councilmember
Coors,
keeping
them
abreast
of
developments
in
the
process,
getting
any
input
that
they
may
have.
I
took
notes,
I'm
sure
they
did
too.
G
C
You
and
then
I
just
have
one
other
question,
so
I
didn't
see
an
exception
for
if
something's
required
for
public
health
or
safety
or
the
welfare
of
people
living
in
that,
so
do
you
think
that
that
is
included
in
the
not
everything
that
is
substandard
or
uninhabitable
is
going
to
amount
to
a
public
nuisance.
Though,
do
you
think
that
it's
included
in
the
violation
of
state
or
local
law?
You
think
that's
broad
enough
that
if
there
were
an
emergency
that
someone
needed
to
move
forward,
that
they
would
be
able
to
even
with
this
moratorium.
N
G
C
A
A
Thank
you
city
clerk
next
item
under
unfinished
business
item:
four:
a
ratification
of
the
city,
manager's
award
of
a
construction
contract
to
Elkin
or
Belko
electric
inc
at
california
corporation
in
the
amount
of
four
million
four
hundred
and
sixty
four
thousand
eight
hundred
fifty
seven
dollars
for
the
indian
canyon
drive
to
a
conversion
and
pedestrian
and
bicycle
safety,
enhancements
CP
1708
staff
report.
Please
Thank.
D
You
Marion
council,
as
noted
this
is
an
action
to
ratify
an
award
that
was
made
during
the
August
recess
to
a
contractor
that
elect
nor
Belko
electric.
We
received
three
bids
in
in
June
and
July
noted
in
the
staff
report.
Again.
This
project
involves
a
combination
of
some
bicycle
and
pedestrian
enhancements
that
are
made
through
modifications
of
the
traffic
signals
with
better
video
and
other
detection
equipment,
as
well
as
curb
popouts
and
extensions
to
narrow
the
roadway
where
pedestrians
cross.
D
It
also
involves
the
conversion
of
Indian
Canyon
way,
finally,
to
two-way
traffic
circulation
by
preserving
on
street
parking,
converting
the
left-hand
northbound
lane
to
a
southbound
lane,
the
next
lane
to
a
center
turn
lane
and
then
preserving
the
two
northbound
lanes
so
again
on
street
parking
is
being
preserved.
As
noted
by
a
member
of
the
public
Indian
Canyon
Drive
is
noted
on
our
bicycle
plan.
D
Is
a
class
three
route,
there's
just
not
enough
space
in
the
roadway
to
provide
bike
lane,
but
I
would
want
to
point
out
that
on
our
bike
map
on
our
bike
way
system,
we
have
alternative
routes,
including
bolero,
Road
and
Calle
and
Celia.
So
there's
multiple
method,
all
turn
ative
for
bicyclists
to
get
in
and
around
our
downtown
community,
so
the
contract
amount
did
exceed
as
you
as
I
noted
and
seems
to
be
the
trend
in
this
economy.
The
contract
costs
are
coming
in
much
higher
than
estimate
and
we're
getting
fewer
and
fewer
bids.
D
So
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
it's
again.
It's
a
trend
that
we've
seen
in
all
of
our
boom
times
when
times
are
good
contractors
have
more
than
enough
work
and
you
end
up
paying
for
it
for
the
bidders
that
do
bid
your
projects.
To
that
extent,
in
order
to
fully
fund
this
project,
even
though
three
and
a
half
million
is
funded
through
sivak
grants,
there
is
a
need
to
supplement
the
funding
available
for
this
project.
D
So
I
did
want
to
point
your
attention
to
the
fiscal
impact
section
noted
and
we're
having
to
essentially
defer
and
show
a
project
that
we
had
locally
funded
with
local
measuring
funds,
as
well
as
take
from
measure
J
on
schedule,
capital
projects
and
carryover
balance.
Noted
in
that
in
that
part
of
the
staff
reports,
I
wanted
to
call
your
attention
to
that.
D
The
timing
of
this
project,
although
we
try
to
get
these
projects
underway
during
the
summer,
it's
just
a
practical
impossibility
and
I
just
wanted
for
the
benefit
of
the
public.
To
understand
that
a
lot
of
this
project
involves
converting
all
of
these
signals
to
two-way
traffic
circulations.
So
every
intersection
now
will
have
two
way:
traffic
with
signals
being
rotated.
D
So
we
have
to
order
a
lot
of
signals
and
there
used
to
be
back
in
the
day,
six
or
seven
or
eight
manufacturer
of
signal
poles
and
now
there's
only
two,
and
so
everybody
all
over
the
country
that
has
projects
that
involve
street
lights
or
signal.
Poles
are
all
ordering
the
same
type
of
standard
signals
and
there's
a
sixteen
to
twenty
week
lead
time
once
there's
an
executed
contract.
So
right
now
the
contractor
is
anticipating
delivery
of
those
signals
by
January
or
February.
In
the
meantime,
there's
going
to
be
a
a
lot
of
underground
work.
D
Potholing
of
utilities
will
start
in
the
next
few
weeks
to
confirm
and
make
sure
that
there's
nothing
in
the
way
of
where
they're
gonna
put
the
new
signal
poles
and
then
all
the
underground
conduit
and
foundation
construction.
So
the
good
news
is
that
this
project
doesn't
have
a
big
impact
to
the
roadway.
A
lot
of
the
work
will
happen
to
the
side,
and
so
at
least
three
of
the
four
lanes
should
be
open
at
any
one
time.
D
The
benefit
is,
we
will
now
have
southbound
access
when
Palm
Canyon
is
closed,
both
on
Bilardo,
as
well
as
on
Indian,
which
will
improve
circulation
through
town.
It
will,
though,
cause
some
delays
at
all
of
these
intersections,
as
you
now
have
a
left
turn
movement
from
all
of
the
intersecting
streets.
That
now
can
turn
left
onto
Indian
going
south
one
last
bit.
I
had
hoped
again,
you'd
seen
originally
the
peanut
concept,
but
the
traffic
circle
at
Camino,
Paris
Ella,
that's
not
part
of
this
project.
D
We're
hopeful,
see
vague,
we'll
have
another
round
of
safety,
grant
call
for
projects,
and
we
will
submit
that
as
a
project
for
funding
at
this
point
in
time
that
that
intersection
there
at
Camino,
Paris
Ella,
will
just
be
modified
and
remain
a
signalized
intersection.
So
with
that,
mr.
mayor
that
completes
my
report
and
I'm
happy
to
take
any
of
your
questions.
Thank.
E
Thank
You
mayor
Thank
You,
mr.
fuller
I,
believe
you
answered
pretty
much
all
of
my
questions.
I
simply
wanted
to
thank
you
for
commenting
on
the
bike
paths.
P
I
got
a
few
letters
from
some
that
were
concerned
that
we
were
eliminating
the
class
three
paths
and
I
did
respond
to
a
number
of
those
that
I
thought.
We
were
more
than
well
covered
because
of
the
Bilardo
bike
path
and
others.
E
It's
very
disappointing
to
all
of
us
that
we
can't
do
the
turnabout.
We
were
all.
We
were
all
excited
about
that
about
having
one
here
in
Palm
Springs,
but,
as
you
pointed
out,
it
was,
it
was
cost
prohibitive
and
that's
too
bad
I'm,
so
grateful
that
we
were
able
to
find
the
money
to
actually
do
this
and
the
in
the
in
the
increased
cost
that
none
of
us
expected
I'm,
hoping
that
a
future
council
will
possibly
find
a
little
money,
maybe
to
add
some
more
landscaping
and
and
and
brighten
up
the
sidewalks.
A
little
bit.
E
I,
don't
think
we
have
a
minute
to
spare
as
our
new
downtown
comes
to
life
and
more
and
more
people
slowdown
on
Palm
Canyon
too,
to
be
a
part
of
that.
I
think
that
it's
vital
that
we
have
this
new
thoroughfare,
this
new
north-south
thoroughfare
to
get
people
in
and
out
of
town
and
get
people
back
and
forth
in
a
more
efficient
manner.
So
thank
you
for
that,
and
lighting
poles
notwithstanding
I
I,
look
forward
to
this
being
done
in
our
lifetime.
A
A
filler
wrote
a
grant
for
two
million
dollars
and
it
was
approved
and
then
we
needed
another
million
and
a
half,
and
you
know
it's
always
hard
to
go
back
to
the
well
and
ask
for
more
because
people
say
why
didn't
you
ask
the
whole
amount,
the
first
time
and
as
mr.
Fogg
explained,
cost
have
been
going
up,
but
he
was
able
to
write
a
second
grant
requests
which
unanimously
passed
unanimously
passed
the
Seebeck,
Executive
Committee
and
all
the
other
eight
mayor's
in
the
city
and
in
the
Coachella
Valley
approved
this.
So,
thank
you,
mr.
A
fuller,
for
your
expertise
of
you
and
your
staff
in
writing
these
grants,
or
this
would
not
be
happening
because
it
would
be
all
the
Hult
costs
altogether
is
5.5
million
dollars
and
we
would
not
have
been
able
to
fund
that
without
these
grants
from
seabag,
which
you
made
possible.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
M
D
C
D
But
when
you
look
at
rainbow
crosswalks,
you
have
all
sorts
of
different
types.
So
when
somebody
says,
let's
do
rainbow
crosswalks
of
course,
I'm
an
engineer
by
background,
so
I'm
like
okay,
well,
what
type?
How
wide
are
the
stripes?
Are
they
parallel?
Are
they
perpendicular?
Is
it
the
traditional
rainbow?
Is
it
the
extent
expanded
rainbow?
So
these
are
just
different
types
that
exist
so
before
we
jumped
the
gun
and
decided
on
the
actual
type
of
design,
we
wanted
to
at
least
get
some
input.
I
know.
There's
stakeholders
from
PS
pride
in
the
center
I
know.
D
So
we
would
encourage
or
welcome
someone
from
council
Eleison
or
a
subcommittee
to
help
us
with
this
and
then
what
we
do
is
bring
back
the
actual
proposal
and
then
request
cost
from
our
contractor,
which
would
manifest
through
a
change
order,
and
then
we
would
just
fold
that
in
because
all
of
Indian
Canyon
Drive
is
going
to
be
Reisler,
Eid
and
striped.
At
the
end
of
this,
a
conversion
project
Mayor.
E
Now,
thank
you.
Mr.
fuller
I
actually
get
asked
about
this
a
lot
and
so
I'm
glad
it's
coming
forward.
I
would
very
much
like
to
volunteer
to
work
with
city
staff
on
this
on
this
issue
on
the
striping
issue
and,
of
course,
work
with
Rhonda
art,
and
you
know
any
other
stakeholders
in
the
community
who
want
to
be
part
of
this.
E
H
Is
this
better
Thank,
You
Mir,
in
addition
to
some
of
the
nonprofit's,
the
new
arenas,
businesses,
have
an
association
and
asked
this
to
come
forward,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure.
However,
we
move
this
forward
that
we
bring
them
into
this
as
well,
because
they've
gotten
organized-
and
this
is
one
of
the
issues
they
got
organized
around
I,
just
gonna
suggest
we
get
send
it
to
economic
development,
business
retention,
but
we
can
have
a
liaison
or
another
subcommittee.
If
you
want
to
do
this,
that's
fine
as.
A
H
O
We
are
my
thanks
to
Mayor
Pro
Tem
Roberts,
for
volunteering
to
take
on
this
I
think
he
is
the
right
design
person
for
this
and
I
support
the
assistant
city
manager.
We
probably
should
have
this
professionally
done,
but
the
temptation
to
turn
hundreds
of
volunteers
loose
with
pink
cans
in
the
middle
of
downtown
is
almost
to
Palm
Springs
to
resist.
M
C
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
thank
you
to
Marcus
and
our
staff
for
bringing
this
forward.
We
get
a
lot
of
questions
about
this
and
there's
a
lot
of
excitement
and
I.
Think
it'll
be
really
great
for
tourism
and
the
book
businesses
that
are
down
town
I,
think
people
will
take
pictures
of
this
and
share
it,
and
then
people
will
want
to
come
to
Palm
Springs
and
want
to
come
to
this
corner.
So
it's
not
frivolous.
C
When
I
was
asked
what
type
of
rainbow
I
said,
I
don't
know
just
a
rainbow
I'm
not
charged
in
charge
of
design,
so
I
think
that
would
be
great,
but
at
least
one
of
us
councilmember,
Kors
or
I,
so
that
we
can
connect
with
our
business
retention
subcommittee
and
the
businesses,
so
I
would
be
happy
to
do
it
unless
you
want
to,
since
I've,
been
working
on
it
a
bit
with
Palm
Springs,
pride
and
others.
So
I'd
be
happy
to
work
on
that
sub
me
with
you.
Thank
you.
A
A
H
H
So
this
is
just
to
look
into
the
issue
of
the
state
increasingly
taking
action
that
limits
local
governments,
rights
and
sometimes
that
may
be
a
good
thing
and
sometimes
a
bad
thing.
So
we'd
really
need
to
see
what
it
looks
like
before
we
would
weigh
in,
but
I
think
it
makes
sense
to
just
move
forward
and
look
at
that
issue
and
the
other
one
is
just
about
cities
having
some
more
say
in
certain
pesticides,
etc,
being
used
that
are
harmful
to
wildlife
as
well.
A
A
Thank
you
public
comments.
This
time
has
been
a
set
aside
for
members
of
the
public
to
to
address
the
City
Council
on
items
of
general
interests
within
the
subject
matter:
jurisdiction
of
the
city.
Although
the
City
Council
values
your
comments
pursuant
to
the
Brown
Act,
it
generally
cannot
take
any
action
on
items
not
listed
on
the
posted
agenda.
Two
minutes
will
be
assigned
to
each
speaker
and
we
have
three
speakers
at
this
time.
First
is
William
Tracy,
then
Brad,
Anderson
and
then
les
young.
S
Hi
there
I'm
William
Tracy
the
owner
bills,
pizza
in
downtown
Palm,
Springs
real
happy
to
be
part
of
the
Palm
Springs
community.
Oh,
can
you
hear
me
better
now,
I
participant
in
the
Thursday
Palm
Springs,
you
know
Street
Fair
and
the
last
night
I
was
there.
You
know
vending
pizza
on
Thursday,
August,
9th
10:00
to
10:00.
There
was
a
pepper
spray
incident.
S
E
S
S
Actually,
it
was
the
whole
block
from
below
the
plaza
to
talk,
woods
and
hundreds
of
people
affected.
People
screaming
running
yelling,
stopping
to
vomit.
You
couldn't
escape
the
gas
until
you
got
on
the
on
the
other
side
of
the
buildings
on
Palm
Canyon
and
you
know,
I
didn't
feel
good
for
a
couple
of
days
afterwards
and.
S
I
was
just
wanting
to
make
sure
the
city
counsel
was
aware
of
the
incidents
and
a
protocols
were
followed.
I,
don't
think
that
sufficient
information
was
provided
to
the
people
that
were
affected.
I
didn't
know
until
today,
what
I
breathed
in
or,
if
that's,
only,
what
I
breathed
in
but
anyways
I
thought
it
was
almost
like
an
act
of
terrorism
and
I
want
to
know
of
the
protocol
of
the
police
department,
you're.
A
P
E
P
A
representative
I'm
sorry
exist
on
from
he
city
that
represents
well.
That
represents
each
city
on
the
board
and
two
from
the
Riverside
County
that
sits
on
the
Coachella
Valley
mosquito
vector
can
do
is
take
board,
but
I
wanted
to
emphasize
the
importance.
I
I
think
I'm,
the
only
one
that
really
feels
the
public
safety
issue.
P
With
the
new
80s,
a
gypto
mosquito
species
has
been
detected
in
the
desert
in
2016,
it's
been
established
in
Coachella
and
now
it's
in
eight
cities-
and
you
know,
except
for
Desert
Hot
Springs
Rancho
Mirage
this
last
week
it's
been
allowed
to
continue
and
I
know
from
I'm
a
previous
employee
of
the
district.
It's
because
of
the
management
of
the
district.
P
They
don't
really
know
how
to
manage
this
and
control
it
yeah,
it's
way
out
of
hand,
but,
and
now
we
have
West
an
eye
on
SLE
down
in
the
metro
area
and
that
underserved
communities-
just
you
know,
it's
been
allowed
to
continue
for
a
month
now
and
they're
gonna
do
some
rain
this
week
just
to
break
the
cycle,
but
if
it's
been
allowed
to
continue
for
a
month,
that
means
it's
got
a
source
somewhere.
They
have
it
that's
my
opinion,
but
so
I
think
it's
really
important.
I
know
it's
this.
P
This
cycle,
it's
gonna
go
through
Landry
and
by
the
time
the
recommendations
are
out.
It's
gonna
be
a
year
pass,
so
I
think
the
city
in
a
whole
can
maybe
do
more
like
you're
talking
about
a
arenas.
Road
I
know
this
catch
basins
in
there
that
collect
the
whole
water
and
the
mosquito
breeders.
So
that's
something
you
can
consider.
Thank
you
again.
A
I
You
mayor
moon,
Mayor,
Pro,
Tem,
Roberts
and
council
members
and
staff
I'd
like
to
request
that
you
mark
your
calendars
to
save
the
date.
October
2nd
from
5
p.m.
to
8
p.m.
the
police
department
is
inviting
you
all
to
a
national
night
out.
It's
an
opportunity
for
the
police,
together
with
the
community
and
share
some
of
our
capabilities
and
a
special
note.
I
This
particular
time
the
Explorers
are
going
to
be
putting
together
a
program
where
they
will
fingerprint
children,
swab
them
for
DNA
and
give
those
results
to
adherence
so
that
they
can
hang
on
to
them
in
the
event
that
there
is
an
emergency
at
some
point
later
on,
they'll
be
able
to
use
these
to
help
identify
the
children
if
they're
missing.
It's
really
an
extra-special
thing.
I
One
last
thing
I
wanted
to
do
is
Thank
You,
councilmember
holstege,
for
your
comments,
but
I
would
tell
you
as
hard
as
the
police
worked
and
as
hard
as
the
police
advisory
board
worked.
We
had
wonderful
people
from
our
community
come
forward
on
the
hottest
day
and
you
thought
I
actually
was
told
by
people.
You
know
if
you
get
a
few
items,
you
should
be
lucky.
I
We
did
a
wonderful
job
and
we
had
visitors
from
Amsterdam
from
London
and
from
from
Paris
that
were
visiting
here
and
saw
what
we
were
doing
and
their
families
went
in
his
shop
for
us.
So
it
was
just
remarkable
to
see
everybody
here
in
Palm
Springs
pitching
in,
but
also
people
from
across
the
world
that
were
visiting
Palm
Springs
contributing,
so
it
was
a
great
day.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
D
T
T
We
were
grateful
that
we
continue
to
have
visible
presence
downtown.
We
had
a
sergeant
in
for
officers
which
are
assigned
to
village
fest
every
Thursday,
as
well
as
a
second
sergeant
and
two
bicycle
officers.
Again.
Every
Thursday.
There
was
no
delay
in
response
at
all,
as
this
robbery
is
what
it
would
have
occurred.
Flagged
down.
A
uniformed
police
sergeant,
downtown
advised
them
of
robbery
at
just
took
place.
The
pepper
spray
was
actually
bear
repellent
that
the
suspect
used
on
people
that
he
intended
to
rob.
T
He
robbed
them
of
a
cell
phone
and
then
continued
to
spirit
to
spray
that
bear
repellent
on
a
total
of
nine
people,
including
the
seven-year-old
in
a
17
year
old
juvenile,
because
we
do
have
the
police
for
presence
downtown.
We
were
able
to
catch
the
suspect,
as
you
ran
away
detained
him,
recovered
the
stolen
property
and
some
other
evidence
used
in
this
crime
and
a
DA's
office
subsequently
filed
robbery
on
the
suspect
use
of
a
weapon
during
a
felony
corporal
injury
on
a
child
felony
and
unfortunately,
this
subject
was
already
out
of
custody.
T
He
was
one
of
those
early
release
suspects.
They
should
have
been
in
custody,
but
he
was
early
released
because
of
jail
overcrowding,
so
they
charged
him
with
a
felony
for
being
out
and
revocation
of
his
early
release.
Felon
in
possession
of
tear
gas
in
fosston
information
to
to
a
police
officer.
There's
an
investigation,
all
those
sections
that
we
applied
during
our
filing
the
DS
Office
filed
every
one
of
those
charges.
I.
O
O
C
Thank
you.
I
would
also
be
happy
to
work
with
you
on
that
issue.
I've
followed
bike
sharing
and
scooter
sharing
quite
closely
as
they
go
to
a
lot
of
our
neighboring
cities.
So
I
would
be
happy
to
work
with
you
and
staff
on
that
issue,
because
I
do
think,
especially
the
scooters
are
causing
wide-scale
problems
in
a
number
of
cities,
and
so
we
should
just
be
prepared
to
talk
about
that
and
what
we
will
do
when
these
technologies
come
to
our
city.
C
My
request
is:
is
for
a
shelter
emergency
for
the
city
to
declare
shelter
emergency
for
funding,
so
some
of
the
funding
that
is
coming
down
from
the
state
will
prioritize
cities
and
locations
that
have
declared
a
shelter
emergency
so
that
we
can
get
that
funding
for
housing
and
shelter
and
so
I'm,
not
sure
city
attorney.
If
we've
already
done
that
or
if
we
need
to
bring
an
item
forward.
No.
