outstanding
work

and
I'll
tell
you,
I've
been
in
the
fire
service
for
30
years
and
I
have
never
worked
with
a
group
of
personnel
that
are
so
hard
working
and
well
trained
as
your
palm
springs
firefighters,
as
I.
E
E
E
E

well
as

rest
of
our
city,
department.,
that's.,
okay.,.
D
F
F
All
weekend
long.
we're
going
to
highlight
a
few
things,,
but
I
just
really
want
to
recognize
all
of
our
colleagues
in
the
city
and
our
community,,
as
was
pointed
out..
So
this
is
three
stages
for
us..
First
of
all,
is
preparing
for
the
hurricane,,
the
after
effects
of
the
hurricane..
You
can
see
it
rolling
in
and
I
think
alof
us
knew
that
it
was
going
to
be
a
pretty
significant
event
for
us,
locally
here.
and
trying
to
contingency
plan
for
maybe
not
a
whole
lot,,
but
at
the
same
time,.
F
F
F
Know
there
are
four
locations
in
the
city
that,
even
if
you
get
a
small
amount
of
rain
or
a
little
bit
of
wind,,
it's
going
to
flood
or
or
blow
over.,
so
the
decision
was
made
fairly
early
with
the
city
manager,
as
well
as
the
roads
street
department
to
shut
down
those
locations..
I
think
that
that
was
in
retrospect
,
one
of
the
key
elements
of
us
not
having
to
do
a
lot
of
swift
water
rescues,
as
well
as
other
problems
that
could
have
occurred..
So
I
really
want
to
again,
thank
the
team
for
that..
F
We
looked
at
a
lot
of
different
scario
shuit
down
now.
shut
it
down
at
midnight.,
shut
it
down
tomorrow
when
it
rains.
and
the
decision
was
made
to
shut
it
down
at
midnight.
and
that,
again,
helped
helped
immensely..
We
did
a
few
other
things
to
prepare
for
it.
one
is
we
warned
all
the
homeless
individuals
in
our
community?
F
It's
a
vulnerable,
vulnerableopulion
that
we
care
for,
and
so
we
went
out
on
foot
into
all
the
locations.
We
know
where
the
homeless
reside
as
well
as
had
the
sheriff's
helicopter
come
over
and
broadcast
and
send
a
drone
out
with
a
speaker
to
broadcast
that
seek
higher
ground.
many
did.,
a
f
stayed.,
and
then
we
went
and
made
sure
that
those
people
clearly
understood
the
risks
they
were
taking
by
staying
where
they
were.
and
ultimately,.
F
For,
for
not
having
to
problem
solve
that..
We
also
contingency
planned
for
three
other
things.
one
is
community
rescues..
What
would
that
look
like
if
we
had
to
go
and
rescue
people
out
of
homes,
off
of
roofs,
out
of
attics
with
the
fire
department??
Obviously
the
fire
would
take
the
lead,,
but
a
lot
of
times
it'll
take
our
staff
also.,
so
that
was
all
planned
and
prepared
for
in
advance,,
including
with
our
communications
division..
F
We
also
need
to
prepare
for,
if
things
went
bad
to
have
potential
looting.,
and
so
we
put
resources
in
place
to
make
sure
that
we
were
prepared
to
respond
to
it.
fortunately,.
We
had
zero
of
problems,
tha
wayand.
Then
there
are
other
vulnerable
populations,,
such
as
elderly
people
in
our
city.,
we're
known
for
a
fairly
elderly
population,
and
so
we
are
completely
prepared
for
that
as
well..
The
impact
we
use.
F
Drones
and
you
can
see
a
picture
of
our
drone
ithe
the
photo
there
to
do
damage
assessment
and
search
for
stranded
motorists..
It
was
very
helpful
to
have
that
send
it
out
in
indian
canyon,
gene
autry,,
vista,
chino..
We
could
get
way
out
there
and
check
the
places
that
you
guys
couldn't
go
physically..
We
felt
really
good
about
that
difficult,
thing.
and
of
course,.
When
things
go
bad,
they
can
go
really
bad..
So
we
had
our
911
center
get
knocked
out.
Completely.,
we
lost
all
telephones
and
we
lost
all
the
radios
at
one.
F
One
point.,
and
so
the
city
manager,,
the
fire
chief,
myself,,
were
all
in
there
until
pretty
wee
hours
in
the
morning.
Speaking
with
people
in
orlando,
florida,
trying
to
get
everything
back
up
and
running.,
and
I'm
happy
to
say
that
our
brilliant
dispatchers
found
a
way
around
it
and
we're
able
to
move
all
of
the.
F
Calls
to
nine
one,
one
calls
to
a
phone,
single
phone
in
our
in
our
records
bureau
and
then
transfer
that
over
to
their
phones..
So
they
found
a
way
around
it
and
it
actually
worked
well
until
we
could
get
the
thing
back
up
and
running,,
which
was
about
3:00
in
the
morning
before
we
got
it
to
a
place
where
it
was
successful..
The
storm
damaged
the
radio
system
by
knocking
out
a
tower
and
a
train,
took
out
the
911
trunking
cables..
What
we
found
out
so
it
was.
F
An
interesting
few
minutes.
and
then
officers
staffed
the
road
closures
and
worked
around
the
clock
for
many,
many
hours,,
you
know,
pulling
double
shifts.
and
when
you're
pulling
a
double
shift,,
it's
a
ten
hour,
shift.
you're
up
for
a
long
time.
and
they
were
able
to
do
it..
We
actually
had
dispatchers
sleeping
the
ll
center
on
cots
because
they
didn't
want
to
go
home..
F
F
D
G
G
G
Five
feet:
deep
for
a
quarter
mile.,
it
took
a
over
250
staff
hours
to
clear
that
road..
So
it
was
trafficable..
So
when
people
are
very
excited
about
getting
the
roads
open,
very
quickly,,
we
it
takes
a
lot
of
time
to
push
dirt
off
of
the
road
and
try
to
make
it
safe
for
the
community
again..
So
250
staff
hours
spent
on
gene
autry
trail
indian.
G
When
we
were
doing
our
assessments,.
It
was
1800
feet
of
road
that
was
damaged
and
under
debris.
as
we
started
to
clear
it
and
got
an
actual
scope
of
the
damage,.
We
made
the
decision
to
stop
clearing
the
road
because
we
kw
it
was
going
to
be
trafficable,.
It
was
unsafe
and
we
were
going
to
have
to
rebuild
it..
So
we
only
spent
90
hours
clearing
debris
before
we
realized
just
how
bad
it
was.
on
the
plus
side,.
That
did
let
us
clear
vista,
chino
and
gene
autry,
a
lot
faster.
G
and
here's
an
image
of
vista
chino
at
the
wash
.
it
was
under
2.5ft
of
mud
and
debris..
We're
actually
surprised
that
that
didn't
have
any
major,
significant
damage..
It
took
100
staff
hours
to
clear
that
road
just
to
make
us
not
an
island
anymore,
so
we
could
get
from
here
to
cat
city..
One
of
the.
G
G
Did
not
happen
in
palm
springs.,
we
had
a
lot
of
neighbors
helping
neighbors
as
young,
young,,
capable
people,
filling
sandbags
for
our
older
community,,
actually
jumping
in
cars
with
them
to
to
eir
house
and
actually
put
sandbags
out
for
them
and
then
hitchhiking
back
to
city
hall
to
fill
more
sandbags..
It
was.
It
was
an
amazing
thing.
and
our
our
communities
work
helping
each
other
made
the
job
of
our
first
responders
easier.
an
one.
G
G
D
Thank
you,
daniel.,
just
a
couple
other
comments.
I
wanted
to
make..
If
we
could
put
up
the
next
slide.,
we
are
laser,
focused
on
trying
to
get
indian
canyon
road
open
as
quickly
as
possible.,
and
we
wanted
the
community
to
know
that
there
is
a
significant
effort
underway
to
receive
funding
to
rebuild
indian
canyon..
You
saw
the
one.
D
D
D
D
D
D
I
want
to
thank
mayor,
garner,,
council
member
middleton,
for
really
lobbying
strongly
with
governor
newsom
when
he
showed
up
that
sunday
morning
to
get
an
analysis
from
us
on
what
we
were
going
to
expect
during
the
during
the
storm..
You
can
see.
Congressman
calvert
was
out
at
the
wash
area
and
we've
asked
him
for
additional
funding
at
the
federal
level
to
assist
with
the
rebuild..
So
it
was,
it
was
really
a
team
effort.

..
The
faa
recommends
that
that
the
airport's
complete.
a
master
plan
process
every
7
to
10
years..
So
we
started
one
in
february
of
this
year..
It
was
scoped
to
be
a
30
month
process
..
We
are
a
few
months
into
it,,
but
we've
reached
some
critical
milestones
with
that
master
planning
pcess.,
and
I
just
wanted
to
provide
context
for
what
we're
attempting
to
do
here.
so
we're
trying
to
find
solutions
to
current
capacity
problems
and
operational
constraints
related
to
the
airport
that
can
be
funded
by
faa
funds..
J
We're
trying
to
ensure
that
the
camera
campus
is
modernized
to
meet
future
needs.,
we're
trying
to
incorporate
sustainability
where
possible
and
other
initiatives
to
improve
services
to
passengers
and
to
the
community.
and
we're
trying
to
meet
future
development
goals
to
ensure
that
city
policies
are
incorporate,
vetted
into
the
planning.
Processas
t
master
plan
has
been
guided
by
a
working
group
which
consists
of
four
airport
commissioners,
three
city
department,
heads
from
sustainability,
engineering,
and
it
and
five
airport
executive
staff..
J
As
I
mentioned,
we've
reached
the
point
in
the
process
where
we've
come
up
with
initial
alternatives
for
conptua
design
of
the
terminal
and
landside,,
which
was
phase
one
of
the
process.
we'll
be
discussing
the
technical
analysis
that
fed
the
recommended
options.
Next
tuesday,
at
an
open
house
at
the
palm
springs
convention
center.,
but
right
now,.
Mr.
ryan,
hayes
from
eden,
hunt,
he's
ourenio
consultant
on
this
project.
he's
going
to
give
a
presentation
on.
K
The
alternatives.
so
I'll
turn
it
over
to
ryan.
thank
you,,
harry.
good
evening,
everyone.
thanks
for
listening..
We've
done
a
lot
of
work
on
this
master
plan,,
so
it's
fun
to
share
some
of
the
progress
with
you
all..
I
doave
me
drawings
of
some
conceptual
layouts
of
what
the
terminal
and
terminal
facilities
could
potentially
look
like
in
the
future..
So
I'm
going
to
get
to
those
as
fast
as
as
fast
as
I
can.
I'm
going
to
try
to
keep
this
to
15
minutes.
I'll
go
over
some
background,
slides,
really
quickly,
b.
K
K
Opportunity
for
the
community
to
weigh
in
and
provide
the
consultant
team
and
airport
staff
with
some
input
at
that
time..
I
also
want
to
give
hug
thank
you
to
airport
staff..
You
have
a
tremendously
professional
airport,
staff,
harry
and
jeremy,
and
his
team
have
been
extremely
helpful
to
us
as
consultants
and.
K
Pillars,,
the
pre
planning
pillar,
the
investigation
stage,
both
of
those
we've
completed.
and
we're
moving
into
the
solutions
phase
at
this
point.
and
then
the
fourth
pillar
is
the
implementation
phase..
How
much
is
all
of
this
going
to
cost,
and
how
are
we
going
to
pay
for
these
projects?
as
harry
mentioned,?
The
schedule
is
approximately
12
months.
we're
about
halfway
through
that
and
we've
really
focused
all
of
our
efforts
on
the
terminal
and
the
immediate
surroundings
of
the
terminal
to
start
oncee
a
terminal.
K
K
K
K
I'll.
Also
note
that
the
airport
has
gone
through
planning
processes
multiple
times
in
the
past,,
and
a
lot
of
the
major
improvements
have
followed.
a
master
plan,,
the
air

tower,
terminal
expansions,,
the
runway

and
those
major
projects
usually
result
from
a
planning
process.

In
a
minute,,
but
that's
not
enough.
gates
during
the
busy,
busy
season
and
during
the
peak
hour,
the
airport,
all
18
of
those
gates,
are
used
at
once.,
so
the
growth
has
been
tremendous..
This
this
chart
shows
enplanement
growth
at
the
palm
springs
airport
and
the
faa
defines
enplanements
as
one
passenger
boarding,
one
aircraft..
So
you
have
to
double
the
employment
number
to
get
to
total
passengers..
So
in
2022,
for
example,,
the
airport.
K
K
Aviation
activity
at
this
airport
have
that
1.5
million
enplanements
growing
to
over
3
million
enplanements
by
the
end
of
the
20
year,
planning
period.,
so
6
million
by
2042.
we're
anticipating
the
airport
having
to
process
6
million,,
potentially
up
to
6
million
passengers
per
year..
The
other
thing
that's
important
in
terminal
planning
is
the
peak
hour
window
that
all
the
airlines
schedule
their
flights
at
what
time
of
day.
and
this
chart
indicates
it's
all
around
the
noon
hour.,
so
that
noon.
K
K
So
all
of
that
information
goes
into
our
facility
requirements..
We
have
this
level
of
service
concept.
That
applies
to
other
facilities
that
the
city
owns.,
but
basically
we're
trying
not
to
under
design,,
but
we're
also
tryi
noto
over
design.
we're
trying
to
find
that
optimum
level
of
square
footage
and.
K
Attention
to
the
peak
hour.
again,
17
aircraft
on
e
grnd
,,
all
at
gates
at
one
time.,
we're
anticipating
that
to
grow
to
31
by
the
end
of
the
planning
period..
The
previous
master
plan
for
this
airport
recommended
no
additional
gates.
and
there's
various
reasons
why.,
but
the
bottom
line
is
the
airport's
a
little
bit
behind
the
curve
now
and
we
need
to
start
planning
for
more,
more
facilities
to
accommodate
this
growth..
This
is
just
a
summary
slide
of
the
requirements..
K
K
K
So
all
of
that
information
is
the
background
information.
and
then
we've
developed
for
terminal
concepts
that
I
want
to
show
you
all
and
that
we
want
to
present
to
the
community
next
tuesday
at
the
open
house..
So
the
first
oh,
before
I
mentioned
that,
I
want
to
I
want
to
mention
the
amount
of
oueach
did
to
harry
mentioned.
The
working
group..
We
also
talked
to
everyone
who
lives
in
this
terminal..
We
talked
to
the
airlines,,
the
car
rentals,,
the
tsa,,
the
concessionaires,,
everyone
who
has
to
go
to
work
in
this
building
every
day.
K
and
we
got
their
input
about
what
they
like
about
the
terminal,,
what
they
don'
lik,
where
the
pinch
points
are,,
where
more
square
footage
is
needed,
things
we
heard
were
that.
Obviously,
the
mountain
views
are
important..
The
indoor
outdoor,,
a
unique
nature
of
the
indoor
outdoor
space
is
vitally
important..
At
this
airport.
Consideration
of
walking
distance
for
future
facilities
is
obviously
important
as
well..
So
that's
just
some
of
the
input
that
we
heard..
We
essentially
took
three
approaches
to
planning
terminal
facilities..
We
took
a
maximum
reuse
approach
which
reuse
his
existing
facilities
to
the
greatestxtent.
K
K
K
Concourse
with
aircraft
parked
at
both
sides.,
this
concept
also
includes
a
consolidated
rental
car
deck
shown
in
oran
on
e
on
the
left
side
of
the
chart.,
and
then
the
surface
parking
is
shown
in
yellow.
and
then
I'll
also
note
that
we're,
including
at
airport,
staff's
direction,
a
federal
inspection
facility
in
these
planned
future
terminal
facilities
to
accommodate
the
potential
for
international
flights..
That's
one
concept.
K
K
K
K
Of
the
full
replacement
terminal
facility.,
so
this
this
looked
at
the
available
space
within
the
terminal
envelope
to
the
south
along
kirk
douglas
way.,
basically
kirk
douglas
way
would
become
the
front
door
of
the
of
the
facility
in
this
concept.,
but
the
bonus
or
the
wechsler
terminal
building
does
not
go
away
in
this.
In
this
particular.
K
Scenario,,
the
wechsler
terminal
would
be
repurposed
for
some
other
use
and
we're
having
some
interesting
discussions
with
the
working
group
and
with
airport
staff
about
what
some
of
those
possibilities
might
be.
and
that's
one
thing
that
we're
going
to
be
looking
for
input
from
the
community
on
next
week..
K
K
The
last
thing
I'll
mention
is
this:
none
of
these
terminals
would
ever
get
built
at
one.
Time.
thishis
would
be
a
phased
approach.,
and
that's
really.
The
next
step
in
the
process
is
to
determine
how
we
would
phase
this
and
how
we
would
construct
it,
while
keeping
the
airport
open
and
minimizing
the
impact
to
passengers..
It
is
it's
some
fairly
significant
facilities,,
but
I
think
in
the.
K
Next
step,,
as
we
phase
them,
it'll
it'll,
make
sense
how
they
might
how
these
concepts
might
be
built
over
time..
So
that's
really
that's
really
our
our
mission
after
this
public
meeting
next
week
and
this
open
house
is
to
start
refining
these
concepts,
start
phasi
them
and
developing
cost
estimates
and
continue
to
meet
with
the.
K
L
K
Up
as
a
teleconference,,
but
we
do
have
a
master
plan
website
and
we're
going
to

going
to

some

we've

and
to
give
you
a
brief
overview
of
where
we're
at

The
future

was
launched
about
seven
months
ago
to
really
assess
the

the
impact
of
the
convention

to
e
community
and
how
it
fits
in
in

in
the
overall
hospitality.
N
O
O
O
Has
been
incredibly
inclusive.,
the
hospitality
industry,
the
business
community,,
even
as
recently
as
this

continuing
the
outreach
to
bring
in

a
insight
from
the
community.
we
which,
which
we
think
is
critical,
a
matter
of
fact,.
I
would
say
the
hospitality
industry
and
the
business
community
in
this
market
really,
really
understands
the
importance
of
bringing
people
in
from
out
of
town
to
support
the
economy.
to.
O
Support
jobs,
to
develop
careers,
.
et
cetera.,
so
as
rob
mentioned,,
it's
probably
seven
months.,
and
I
want
you
to
really
to
understand
that
this
was
a
deep
dive..
I
boiled
it
down
to
about
15
slides,,
but
it's
really
much
deeper
than
that.
From
the
perspective
of
looking
closely
at
the
historical
operation
of
thbuilng.
ere,
are
we
at
today??
What
is
our
competition
doing.?
What
do
we
have
to
offer.
O
O
Customers.,
all
of
this
gets
boiled
down
into
into
some
key
findings
that
will
lead
to
a
couple
of
major
recommendations
that
we
want
to
talk
to
you,
about.
historic
operations..
We
look
at
the
convention
center
very
closely..
This
is
just
one
small
snapshot
snapshot
of
what
we
focus
on..
This
is
the
room
nights.
you
can
see
the
green
baare,
the
conventions
and
trade
shows
that
we
bring
to
palm
springs.
because
of
the.
O
Convention
center.,
they
generate
the
lion's
share
of
the
room.
Nights.
witch
just
pre,
coveted
at
82,000
room
nights
on
an
annual
basis.
we'
talng
about
a
lot
of
people
coming
in
a
lot
of
economic
impact,
a
lot
of
use
of
the
airport
which,
which
is
all
synergistic
to
what
we're
trying
to
do..
We
also
look
at
the
occupancy
of
the
exhibit
space..
We
use.
this
as
a
metric.
O
O
O
Won't
you'll
see
more
of
the
improving
what
we
have
scenario
based
in
part
on
on
findings
like
this..
I
do
also
notice
that
in
2022
we're
read
back
up
to
40%
occupancy.,
so
we
are
recovering
very
quickly,,
just
as
the
airport
did
in
terms
of
our
convention
business,.
Looking
at
what
we
have
in
terms
of
the
destination,,
you
can
see
the
little
gray
box
in
the
middle
is
our
convention
center..
You
can
also
see
the.
thealan
of.
O
Hotels,
restaurants,
retail,
entertainment
is
a
bit
of
a
distance
away
from
where
we're
at.
and
you
guys
have
all
been
to
conventions..
When
you
walk
out
of
the
building,.
When
you
walk
out
of
your
hotel,,
you
don't
want
to
walk
down.
andreas,
you
know,,
2
or
3
blocks
to
get
to
all
the
restaurant.,
so
you
want
it
in
a
walkable
environment,
that'enertic
d
well
signed
and
safe
and
secure.
O
.,
so
we,
when
we
talk
about
recommendations,,
this
is
steering
us
to
the
notion
of
connectivity..
What
you
are
as
palm
springs
is
amazing.,
and
how
do
we
tap
into
that
from
the
convention?
Standpoint??
We
also
look
at
your
space
on.
The
left
is
the
largest
contiguous
space
that
you
have..
It's
your
exhibit
hall
and
we're
at
about
92,000ft
of
space..
We
rank
10th,,
11th,,
ninth,
something.
O
Like
that.
we're
not
the
largest
.
we're
a
little
bit
smaller
than
average
in
terms
of
exhibit
space..
There
will
come
a
day
when
we're
going
to
want
to
make
this
a
larger
building,,
a
larger
box..
So
one
of
the
things
we
talk
about
in
terms
of
land
planning
is
every
parcel
around
your
convention.
Center
is
gold
for
the
convention.
Industry.
O
O
So
we
want
to
keep
that
in
the
back
of
our
mind
that
real
estate
planning
is
a
big
part
of
this.,
and
then
we
look
at
total
sellable
space.,
I'm
lumping
in
your
meeting
space
and
yourbarool
sellable
and
we
drop
a
little
bit..
This
is
a
sign
to
us
that,
while
we
may
not
need
exhibit
space
today,,
we
probably
need
an
enhancement
of
ballroom
and
meeting
space
for
the
overall
complex..
We
talked
to
your
customers..
Some
of
these.
O
O
Overall
positive
response,
rate.
that
compares
very
favorably
with
some
other
studies.
We've
conducted
fairly
recently,,
including
palm
beach
county
kind
of
a
sister
destination
coast
to
coast..
So
we
have
a
great
deal
of
interest..
I
think
a
lot
of
that
nural
is
fed
by
the
brand
of
palm
springs
or
an
internationally
known
destination,
and
even
a
convention
planner,
that's
never
been
here.
Or.
is.
O
O
O
Ballroom.,
but
the
planners
these
days
with
the
younger
audience,,
the
younger
attendance
group,,
don't
think
in
terms
of
silos..
They
think
in
terms
of
how
do
I
produce
something
on
this
entire
area
within
the
building
and
even
outside
the
building,
they
don'lookt
loies
as
a
place
to
walk
from
point
a
to
point.
B,.
O
O
O
O
Now
now
rob
and
his
sales
team
go
to
sell
this
destination
against
another
destination..
It's
like
you,
come
to
palm
springs
and
sure,.
You've
got
your
exhibits
and
your
ballroom,,
but
we
have
an
entire
outdoor
living
room
for
you.
That
can
be
transformed
to
accommodate
the
latest
and
greatest
trends
in
the
industry.
number
three,.
Also
really
important,
we're
talking
about
this
notion
within
the
lobbies
and
the
pre-function
area
of
food
and
beverage,
a
entertainment
and
ten
years
ago,
20
years
ago,
we
solved
that
by
bringing
in
starbucks.
aren't
we
great?,
we
got
a
starbucks..
O
Let's
move
on
now
to
destinations
around
the
country
are
saying
we
want
a
local
coffee
company
in
town..
We
want
the
local
brewery
to
come
in
for
the
evening.,
a
local
distiller,,
a
local
food
outlet.,
so
this
becomes
kind
of
coffee
in
the
morning,.
Perhaps
a
cocktail
or
a
glass
of
wine
in
the
evening.,
all
locally
sourced,,
all
local,
desned.
O
O
we've
got
a
oasis
for
I'm
going
to
go
to
number
seven,
their
oasis,.
All
for
you
saw.
The
occupancy
of
the
space
was
fairly
low..
You
also
know
that
our
ballroom
is
a
little
bit
smaller
than
we'd
like.,
so
we
do
ink
cou
go
into
that.
and
with
some
improvements
to
the
ceiling
structure,
wall
treatment,
some
lighting,,
we
could
create
an
opportunity
to
do
ballroom
type
events
more
effective
in
oasis,,
for
we
also
think
that
number
six
there
that
reinventing
the
entrance
on
the
east
side
is
important..
O
We
all
know
that
a
lot
of
people
park
in
that
parking
lot
across
the
street,
across
tahquitz
and
that's
their
front
door,
and
it's
just
not
designed
that
way.,
so
rob
has
brought
in
an
architect
and
they're
still
working
through
some
plans
that
I'd
have
just
saw
some
of
them.
Today.
and
you'll
see
those
later.
amazing
improvement
to
the
green
space
and
the
entrance
on
the
east
side..
So
that's
another
low,
nginfrui,
not
hugely
expensive,
that
we
think
should
be
invested
in
pretty
quickly..
O
The
action
is
on
palm
canyon,
indian
canyon,
and
we're
not
quite
there..
So
how
do
we?
How
do
we
start
to
connect?
and
you've
got
a
variety
of
options.?
You've
got
a
motto,,
you've
got
tahquitz,,
you've
got
andreas
in
the
middle
there.
and
certainly
with
what's
happening
with
the
spas
and
the
cultural
center,.
O
You
have
opportunities
to
create
an
experience
walking
from
the
convention
center
into
the
downtown
areawe're
talking
about
monumental
public
art.,
that's
important,
because
I
can
walk
out
of
a
hotel
and
say,
go
to
that
giant,,
you
know,
whatever
it
is.
That's
palm
tree,
that's
representative
of
our
destination
town.
and
you
can
move
the
pedestrian
or
the
person
that
doesn't
live
here
quickly
to
the
key
junctures,.
O
And
forth.
driverless
shuttles.,
it's
here.,
it
really
is..
So
the
experience
for
the
attendee
moving
towards
downtown
and
back
becomes
part
of
the
overall
festival.
Experience
of
the
destination..
It's
well
lit,.
It's
programed,,
we're
doing
events,
we're
doing
activities,,
there's
shade
structures,,
there's
music
at
certain
times.,
so
we've,
we've
built
a
district.
Now
that
includes
everything
you
see
in
orange.,
that's
what
we're
selling
to
the
convention
planner
and
the
convention
attendee..
We
look
at
more
of
the.
O
O
and
it
makes
sense..
I
can
get
I
mean,
during
covid,
I
was
getting
4
or
$500
a
night
from
leisure
travelers..
So
why
would
I??
Why
would
I
give
my
rooms
to
a
convention?
That's
only
$300
a
night?,
so
they're
committed.
ability
was
fairly
low
and
it
still
is
low.
and
that's
not
a
bad
thing..
That
means
we're
generating
a
lot
of
money
in
our
hotel
industry.,
but
to
really
move
to
the
next
level,
we're
going
to
need
that
headquarter.
Hotel..
I'd
love
it
to
be
300,
rooms.
O
committable,
which
is
probably
400
rooms,
built
at
least.
andherere,
a
variety
of
locations
that
we've
talked
about
in
terms
of
the
ideal
headquarter,
hotel,
hotel,
location..
I
think
that's
the
nexus
site
that
the
city
has
been
in
conversation.
With.
they've
got
some
plans
for
various
hotels,
residential,,
all
selfishly
and
from
the
perspective
of
protecting
and
enhancing
the
conveion

in

I'd
love
to
see
a
much
larger
hotel,
.
we've
got
the
dream:
hotel,
that's
discussed.!
I
don't
know.
O
O
O
So
some
of
the
land
planning
thinking
that
wehinkill
really,
really
critical
and
candidly,
you
know,,
as
I
look
at
this,,
it's
that
nexus
site.
That
really
is
the
most
important
piece
of
real
estate
to
the
future
of
the
convention
industry
in
palm
springs..
So
where
do
we
go
from
here??
You
can
see
ten
steps
that
vary
from
from
small
to
large..
O
O
We
talked
about,,
the
dream,
hotel,
they're
coming..
If
they
do
happen,
they'll,
come
within
the
next
1
to
3
years.,
that's
fine.,
the
convention
district

issues..
This
is
the
big
idea..
This
is
something
we
need
to
start
planning
now.
so
in
the
next
1
to
5
years,
we're
starting
to
unveil
all
the
new

For

O
O
Goes
off
here,
real,
quick
because
to
get
it
sited,
planned,
financed,
designed,
built
takes
a
long
time.,
so
we
are
ready
to
move
fairly
quickly
into
some
of
those
developments.

This
is
this-
will
be
the
big
idea.,
the
big
expansion
somewhere
down
the
road..
Maybe
it's
a
ten
year
plan..
So
those
are
some
of
the
big
ideas
that
we
think
in
terms
of
timing,
to
move
us
forward
in
the
coenti

And
then
we
talk
about
some
of
the

O

we
begin
the
process
of

we're
looking
to
move
that
to
100,000.
and
once
we
build
a
headquarter
hotel
and
we
fully
connect
and
we
create
a
convention
destination
that
has
all
the
assets,
we're
at

sustainable
at
an
average

basis..
We
look
at
the
variety
of

O
I
won't
go
into
the
numbers,,
but
every
dollar
I
spend
is
a
visitor,
gets
re
spent.,
the
person.
That's
that's!
Working
at
the
restaurant
has
to
go,
buy
my
clothes
for
their
children
when
they
go
to
school
at
kindergarten
when
they're
six
years
old
and
their
birthdays
today,,
it
gets
re
spent
throughout
the
economy,
employment..
I
talk
about
jobs,,
but
I
really
talk
about
careers,
hospitality.
Industry
is
a
starting
point
for
many
people
to
get
into
the
professional
world
and
their
high
paying
jobs..
O
As
you
move
up
the
ladder,
you
can,
you
can
build
an
entire
career
around
hospitality
and
we're
suorti
tha
and,
as
we
all
know,,
the
hospitality
industry
in
palm
springs
is
a
heck
of
a
lot
more
important
than
it
is
in
covington,
kentucky..
We
really
do
need
to
predict
that
that
golden
goose
tax
revenues
generated
to
the
public
sector.
every
dollar
in
tax
revenues
you
generate
from
a
visitor,
is
a
dollar..
You
don't
have
to
pay
as
a
resident.
and
lastly,
and
just
as
importantly,
the
profit
that
goes
to
the
hospitality
industry,.
O
These
are
businesses,
hotels,,
restaurants,
that
that
feed
the
tax
engine,
their
hotel
tax
pay
for.
a
lot
of
what
we've
developed
and
the
cycle
continues
because
they're
bringing
in
business
that
creates
a
profit
model
for
them..
So
this
really
is
the
classic
public
private
benefit
type
project
when
you're
investing
in
the
convention
and
trade
show
industry.
last
couple
of
slides,.
This
is
the
financial
operations
of
the
building..
You
can
see,
we've
got
probably
a
dozen
or
so
convention
centers
around
the
country,
and
you
can
see
their
operating
deficit
on
average,
is
about
600,000.
O
Communities
is
accept
and
finance
deficits
in
the
convention
center
because
of
the
kind
of
room
nights,
economic
impact,,
tax
revenue
and
instryrofithat
it
generates..
It's
a
loss
leader
for
the
community..
If
I've
got
a
thousand
person
convention
and
I'm
generating
a
ton
of
economic
impact,,
I've
got
five
cities
that
I'm
considering.
O
At
1.3
million
in
17
to
19
average,
in
part
because
of
the
revenue
generating
assets,
we
don't
have.
We
don't
have
that
kiosk
in
the
lobby..
We
don't
have
technology..
We
don't
have
monitors
within
the
building.
and
exterior
to
the
building.
We
can
use
for
advertising
and
sponsorships.
good
news
is,
in
2023,.
They
were
able
to
erase
the
deficit
in
part
from
the
apex
large
event
that
came
to
town
and
generated
a
ton
of
food
and
beverage..
O
O
and
as
we
introduce
these
improvements,,
we'll
be
able
to
cement
that
in
as
as
a
good
baseline,
as
opposed
to
the
1.2,
1.3
million,,
which
is
really
a
savings
of
4
or
$500,000
a
year
in
operations,
because
we
have
a
better
product
to
sell
that
we
can
monetize
more
effectively..
Lastly,
next
steps
you've
kind
of
seen
some
of
this,,
the
one
on
one
interviews
with
city
manager,
elected
officials.-
you
guys
are
all
involved
with
that.
amc.
Is
the
architect.
they're
working
now
to
develop
some
plans
and
renderings,
initial
conversations
with
hospitality,
industry
leaders.?
O
That's
that's
been
underway.
and,
as
I
say,,
I
rare
to
see
that
much
100%
support
for
a
project
like
this,
from
from
all
stakeholders
within
the
hospitality
industry,
so
far.
a
formal
presentation
to
councilepteer.
we're
doing
that
today.
and
then
the
next
steps,
we're
looking
at
financing
options
and
beginning
the
process
of
not
final
design,.
But
how
do
we
lay
the
building
out,
bringing
in
an
urban
planner
to
help
us
understand
what
this
thing
could
look
like?
and
as
I
say,,
how
do
we
pay
for
it??
A
H
O
O
Reminded
me
of
a
conversation
I
just
had
recently
with
the
convention
bureau
director
in
denver.,
they
did
a
survey
of
all
new
sinees
moving
into
the
destination.,
an
85%
of
the
ceos
that
moved
to
denver
had
been
to
a
convention
before.,
and
so
when
we
talk
about
all
these
other
industries,,
we
are
that
leading
edge
of
the
wedge,,
bringing
them
to
town
to
say,
wow,.
I
never
knew
this
is
an
opportunity
for.
O
O
L
The
next
ste
with
the
architects.
okay.
and
I
agree
with
council
member
middleton.-
I
mean,
tot-
was
$50
million
last
year.,
a
quarter
of
our
general
fund,,
which
doesn't
even
include
all
the
tax
and
everything
else,
the
sales
tax
and
everything
else.
that
was
generated..
So
I
love
the
local
aspect
to
it..
I
mean,.
L
Probably
have
much
more
to
offer
than
a
lot
of
cities
just
in
terms
of
the
variety
of
our
local,,
especially
our
food
and
beverage
options
out
there..
I
also
was
very
intrigued
by
the
shade
aspect
of
you
talked
about
walking
from
the
convention
center
to
downtown,,
which
I
believe
is
actually
something
we
need
throughout
our
downtown,,
because
once
you
walk
downtown,
it's
in
the
summer
or
heat.,
it's
hot..
So
that
was
my
third
question..
My
next
question,
was,
is
the
idea
on
how
to
activate
th
mor
during
the
off
season.
O
Q
I
I
I
So
I
think
that
is
absolutely
one
problem
to
solve
here
in
the
connectivity
conversation..
So
I
love
the
proposals
of
using
public
art
and
light
lighted,
thwa,
bu.
I
know
we
talked
about
shade
and
I
would
love
to
think
really
boldly
and
broadly
about
transportation,
because,
as
we
see
it,
get
hotter
and
hotter,
it's
harder
to
walk
those
few
blocks
to
more
of
the
business.
I
R
R
The
updates
to
our
land
use
element
of
the
general
plan
will
accommodate
the
expansion
of
the
airport
out.
and
then
just
moving
on
to
another
topic
that
you
brought
up
in
terms
of
shade
,
pedestrian
access,
things
like
that,.
We
anticipate
that
those
elements
will
be
covered
in
the
update
of
the

Hello.
good
evening.,
council
members.,
I'm

three
b.
Thank
you
for
bringing
back
this
ordinance
for
its
send
rdingthe
passage
of
inequitable
sidewalk
vending
ordinance
is
the
vital
first
step
for
integrating
palm
springs
vendors
into
the
local
economy
and
into
the
culture
of
the
city..
The
inland
coalition
for
immigrant
justice
is
here
today
to
advocate
for
the
street
vendors
of
the
area
by
asking
this
council
to
revise
the
current
ordinance,
in
particular,
the
seasonal
prohibition
that
is
currently
in
place
in
the
downtown
areas
of
the
arenas,
district
and
palm
canyon..
V
While
we
commend
this
council
and
its
staff
for
working
tirelessly
to
exchange
and
improve
this
ordinance,,
we
still
believe
that
this
ordinance
is
still
being
guided
by
a
frame
of
nd
that
views
sidewalk
vendors
as
outside
orders
and
not
a
part
of
palm
springs.
in
past
city
council
meetings,,
when
this
ordinance
was
first
brought
up,.
There
were
those
on
the
council
who
described
the
increase
of
sidewalk
vendors
as
an
explosion
of
vendors
and
framed
them
not
as
locals,
but
as
outside
actors
being
exploited
for
their
labor..
W
Good
evening.,
I'm
the
economic
justice
organizing
director
for
inland
coalitionfos,
made
up
of
45
organizations
that
collectively
advocate
for
the
rights
of
immigrants..
Some
of
those
folks
submitted
letters
this
week
and
have
been
supporting
us
for
months
now.
With
this
ordinance.
together,,
we
reach
over
100,000
inland.
W
Empire
residents
yearly,,
including
thousands
in
the
cities
throughout
riverside
county..
I
am
here
for
a
third
time.,
as
mentioned
before,,
to
address
some
of
these
concerns
with
some
of
these
provisions
in
the
ordinance
and
continue
to
provide
recommendations,
actions
that
will
have
a
big
impact
on
dewa
venrs,,
a
very
small
number
of
sidewalk
vendors
that
are
currently
operating
in
the
city..
We
recognize
that
you
are
concerned
about
health
and
safety,,
but
let
me
remind
you
that
those
concerns
have
to
be
objective..
W
There
are
these
areas,
are
the
most
commercially
desirable
locations
for
sidewalk
vendors
and
should
be
areas
where
the
city
would
work
to
create
infrastructure
and
find
reasonable,
wayfor
ndorto
exist.,
a
local
ordinance
that
tries
to
limit
street
vending
in
downtown
affects
the
street
vendors
and
it
affects
their
families
and
the
families
that
rely
on
those
businesses.
as
such
as
retail
markets,
manufacture,
sharing
and
transportation,
implement
ordinances
that
restrict
vending,
not
only
goes
against
the
individualistic
ideals
that
our
country
was
founded.
W
On,
it
also
segregates
street
vendors,,
creates
a
negative
discourse
and
has
contributed
to
violent
attacks
by
vigilante
against
them
and
has
a
negative
impact
on
the
economies
where
they
work..
The
city
can
instead
work
to
apply
for
grants.,
as
we
invested
$800,000
to
incorporate
88
small
food
businesses
into
the
formal
economy
in
both
riverside
and
san
bernardino
counties.
with
those
dollars,
30
sidewalk
vendors
are
now
working
to
invest
in
small
carts,
trucks
and
other
startup
costs.,
and
because
the
startup
costs
are
a
lot,.
We
hope
that
you
don't
require
to
the
liability.

for
design
part
one.,
and
so
we
know
that
we
have
grant
funded
items
that
need
to
happen.,
and
so
we
are
definitely
designing.
The
architect
will
create
a
design
forll
of
that
work..
The
part
that
is
up
in
the.
AC
AC
We
want
and
the
things
that
are
needed,
because
when
you
do
all
of
the
infrastructure,
there
are
things
that
have
to
be
done
to
put
the
building
back
in
place,
like
put
carpet
back.
so
but
that's
not
included
in
the
grant
funds.,
so
they're
going
to
come
up,
withhe
ct
esmates
for
all
of
that.
and
then
the
jc
fry
building
that
is
part
of
this
project
too.
and
that
that
building
definitely
needs
some
design
from
the
architect..
AC
AC
AC
The
line,,
once
we
get
all
that
done
and
all
that
design
package
done,,
we
will
do
construction.
and
so
construction
could
be
done.
all
at
once.,
one
full
giant
package,,
depending
on
what
we
select
or
it
could
be
phased
depending
on
the
costs
and
the
mmuny
needs
and
assessments
and
what
the
architects
recommend..
So
I
just
wanted
to
lay
this
out
and
I
am
a
visual
person,.
So
I
like
to
see
it
done
with
pictures.
AC
L
L
L
The
questions
because
I
think
this
is
and
the
other
question
I
had
really
was
from
the
use
of
the
jc
fry
building,,
which
is
sort
of
unusable
ait.
I
I
think,
right
now.
and
I
know
you
talked
about
the
architects-
would
help
develop
a
use
for
that
as
part
of
the
whole
design
phase
and
the
I
support
this.
L
L
A
A
AD
Report.
please
yes,
good
evening,,
mayor
and
council.-
this
is
our.
our
update
to
our
municipal
and
zoning
code
that
we
bring
forward
to
the
council
every
year..
It's
really
a
technical
update
to
our
zoning
and
municipal
codes
that
we
identify
throughout
the
prior
year
to
clean
up
our
ordinance
and
really
make
it
more
clear
or.
AD
AD
AD
AD
AD
Have
is,
as
I
said,
minor
modifications
to
lot
coverage
and
open
space
for
medium
and
high
density,
multifamily
housing,
projects.,
and
that's
really
to
make
some
minor
adjustments
if
those
are
needed
for
residential
projects.
and
that
kind
of
relates
to
some
of
the
housing
updates
that
we're
proposing
as
well.
the
sb9
urban
lot.
Splits.
AD
Zoning
and
municipal
codes.
we're
proposing
to
allow
non
profit
developers
to
utilize
this
tool.
currently
there's
a
restrict
in
those
ordinances
to
limit
those
to
the
property
owners..
So
we
want
to
extend
that
to
nonprofit
develers
that
they
have
that
ability
to
provide
additional
housing
in
our
city.
as
well
as
exempt
them
from
the
occupancy
requirement
that
is
currently
in
our
codes.
AD
AD
AD
Some
proposed
cleanup
items
to
our
architectural
review
and
development
permit
ordinances.,
as
as
you
recall,,
we
updated
thatrdince
comprehensively
back
in
2020..
So
these
are
really
some
cleanup
items.
we'd
like
to
make
sure
that
we're
capturing
some
hillside
additions
and
remodels
and
making
sure
those
are
still
subject
to
review,
clarifying.
AD
AD
AD
And
then
lastly,
change
the
appeal
filing
requirement
from
our
clerk
to
the
planning
department.
so
that,
given
the
change
to
our
online
permitting
applications,,
those
are
all
really
being
handled
through
our
new
integrative
system..
So
it
would
be
appropriate
that
those
appeals
are
filed
in
that
system
and
those
come
through.
The
planning
department.
some.
AD
AD
AD
AD
Clean
up
for
our
codes
was
presented
to
the
planning
commission
on
june
28th..
They
unanousl
recommended
approval
of
these
changes.
there's
a
couple
of
others
that
were
proposed,
but
have
since
been
removed.,
given
the
commission's
concern
that
those
were
more
policy
related
changes..
So
what
you
have
in
your
package
is
all
the
recommendations
that
were
caied
forward.
From
our
planning
commission.-
and
again,,
this
is
really
more
of
a
technical
cleanup
to
our
code..
AD
AE
Plan
take?,
yeah.,
good.,
good
evening,,
madam
mayor
and
members
of
the
council.-
councilmember
dkert
we'r
hoping
to
have
someone
onboarded
either
by
the
end
of
the
year
or
early
next
year,,
depending
on
the
rfp
process..
There
are
a
number
of
other
large
projects
in
queue
with
our
procurement
team,,
so
we'll
work
through
that.
but
in
any
event,.
I
would
hope
that
we
would
come
back
to
you
potentially
by
the
end
of
next
year.,
we're
looking
at
maybe
a
12
month.
Process.
you
know,
will
depend
on
how
robust
the
engagement
is.
AE
L
AE
That's
part
of
the
zoning
code
that
would
happen
next
year.,
so
we
could
reconsider
that..
So,
as
I
understd
itthers
a
bit
of
a
history
there.
we
did
look
at
expanding
the
applicability
of
where
tattoo,
parlors
and
other
similar
uses
could
be
permitted
in
the
downtown
area..
I
think
under
a
previous
council,,
we
decided
not
to
take
that
up..
But
if
there's
interest
among
this
council,,
we
would
certainly
evaluate
that
as.
A
A
A
AF
AF
AF
AF
Significant
importance
about
them.
so
in
this
particular
case,,
the
las
palmas,
business,
historic
district,,
like
its
name
says,,
is
a
significant
because
it
reflects
the
city's
expansive
growth
from
being
a
village
to
a
full
fledged
city
and
how
that
growth
is
reflected
in
the
buildings
in
this
particular
part
of
the
city..
So
this
is
what
the
las
palmas
business
historic
district
was
as
it
was
introduced
in
1986.
the
significance,,
as
I
mentioned,
the
expansion
of
that
original
village
core,.
The
original
focus
during
that
time
was
buildings
from
the
20s
and
30s..
AF
It's
interesting
as
you
look
at
preservation,
an
it
keeps
marching
along..
So
even
now
we're
starting
to
look
at
buildings
from
the
70s.
Many
of
the
important
commercial
buildings
in
the
district
that
we
now
recognize
as
being
significant
to
palm
springs
were
not
even
considered
at
that
time.
and
also
there
are
currently
many
non-controlled
abutting
buildings
or
parcels
in
the
district
that
weaken
its
overall
strength
and
significance.
most
of
the
buildings,,
as
you
can
see,
from
these
slides
in
the
distric
haveetaid
their
historic
character..
So
you
see
there.
The
dollar
building,,
the
reid
clinic.
AF
,,
el
paseo
and
the
pacific
and
the
colony
palms,
hotel.
others
have
been
so
modified
that
they
no
longer
qualify
as
historic.
a
couple
of
these,
m
pointing
out
the
one
to
the
left.
There
is
the
palm
springs
florist,.
The
one
in
the
middle
is
the
original
ambassador
hotel,
now
known
as
the
triada..
It
went
from
a
very
modest
structure
to
a
sandcastle
of
architecture.
AF
AF
AF
The
whole
story,
adding
the
important
buildings
from
the
war
period
that
I
just
mentioned,
provides
a
defined
period
of
significance..
Why
some
buildings
are
important
here
and
why
some
are
not?
Is
because
there's
a
distincterioof
time
that
we're
reflecting
with
this
district.,
it
provides
an
analysis
of
the
individual
buildings
to
substantiate
their
contributing
status..
It's
not
an
arbitrary
reason
of
why
these
buildings
were
brought
in
or
left
as
noncontributing..
It
sticks
to
the
business
and
commercial
theme,,
meaning
we're
removingome
of
the
residential
buildings
that
were
originally
put
in
this
district
in
the
1980s.
AF
AF
Clarifies
what
is
really
historic.
in
other
words,,
distinguishing
that
from
what
I
call
pseudo
historic,,
which
is
really
what
we
have
with
the
triada
hotel.
it's
beautiful,,
but
it
no
longer
reflects
its
historic
condition..
It
recognizes
some
contributing
buildings
that
don't
contribute
anymore
because
of
them
being
heavily
altered,,
as
I
just
mentioned.,
and
then
it
includes
some.
It
includes
non
contributing
buildings
only
as
necessary
to
establish
a
reasonable
district.
boundaries.
AF
So
this
map,,
albeit
small,,
explains
the
difference.
the
map
on
the
left,.
It
is
the
current
district
as
it
has
been
approved
in
the
1980s..
The
map
on
the
right
in
terms
of
that
area
in
yellow
is
what
the
proposed
historic
district
would
be..
It's
a
similar,
it's
a
smaller
historic
district,
with
more
contributing
sites
fully
reflecting
the
period
of
significance,
and
I
want
to
make
a
little
footnote
here
on
this.
AF
By
taking
some
of
these
buildings
out
and
making
this
district
smaller.
you
go
back
to
some
of
the
discussions,.
We
were
just
listening
to
the
buildings
that
are
outside
of
the
district,
have
a
much
more
streamlined
process
for
redevelopment.
and
that's
kind
of
important.
When
you
start
looking
at
these
areas
like
the
entire
area
north
of
downtown,,
this
area
is
going
to
continue
to
expand
and
grow,,
and
it
mes
accommodates
that
kind
of
future
expansion..
AF
AF
1969.,
that's
going
to
be
the
end
date..
It
includes
the
contributing
sites
that
reflect
the
full
business
growth
story..
It
includes
an
archival
record
showing
the
criteria
why
certai
builngs
are
considered
contributing..
It
amends
the
boundaries
to
meet
the
new
ordnance
requirements
and
the
national
standards
and
we've
recommended
updating
the
district
design
guidelines
to
meet
the
contemporary
preservation
standards
and
staff
recommends
the
recommendations.
A
L
AF
Lighting.
yes,
any
contributing
building
would
go
through
a
typical
certificate
of
appropriateness..
Any
thing
that
happens
in
a
commercial
building
anywhere
in
this
part
of
the
city
goes
through
architectural
review
anyways..
So
there's
a
real,
a
subtle
difference
in
the
review
process,,
but
essentially.
L
AF
AF
You
explain
that
again
when
you
have
a
historic,
district,,
you're
looking
at
buildings
that
have
something
in
common.
if
they
were
not
of
something
in
common,,
you'd,
simply
designate
them
as
individual,
historic
sites..
But
when
you're
looking
at
a
district,
you're,
really
looking
at
this
group,
that
is
close
enough
geographically,
that
they
share
something
in
common.
an
in
this
case,
it's.
that
it
explains
and.
A
L
L
Of
their
open
year,
round.
there's
different
kinds
of
lighting:
that's
needed.!
We
have
our
climates
getting
warmer.
so
just
to
understand
and
that
it's
important
to
recognize
this
historic
district.,
but
that
we
don't
want
to
make
it
impossible
for
people
to
keep
doing
business
in
cityespeally
if
we
try
to
make
ourselves
more
year
round
and
more
commercially
viable
in
today's
market..

staff..
I
know
you're
aware
we
got
a
number
of
requests
from
nonprofits
about
the
need
for
more
office
space
in
the
city
of
palm

todec,,
which
supports
residents
with
services.,
also
inland
county
legal
services..
Our
legal
aid
asked
about
office
space..
This
is
right
by
the
courthouse,,
so
it
would
be
a
good
option
if
we
had
even
like
an
open
or
rotating
or
some
sort
of
option
to
provide
to
the
community..
R
I've
been
engaged
in
doing
space
planning
for
city

as
we've
hired
additional
employees,,
as
we
have
to
find

for

in

have
the
vast

of

Sell

their
permits
through

first,
before
applying
for
a

license.
that
way,
the
city
can
verify
that.
Indeed
they
do
have
the
proper
permits
from
environmental
health
in
place
and
so
that'sne
othe
ings
that
I
wanted
to
point
out.
and
I've
had
many
questions
about
that
in
the
past..
We
have
also
tried
to
incorporate
where
we
can
consistent
regulated
with
the
department
of
environmental
health.
so
for
example,,
there's
language,

That's
a.
R

Meetings,
we've
had
three
meetings
to
date..
We
have
members
of
our
code.
Compliance
divisi.
we've
had
a
representative
from
environmental
health,,
our
finance
department,
who
issues
business
licenses
as
our
planning
department
and
our
police
department
at
those
implementation
meetings..
So
it
is
a
city
wide
effort
in
terms
of
getting
ready
to
put
the
ordinance
in
place..
Speaking
of.
R
R
R
R
Do
that
currently
is
through
a
land
use
permit
process.,
it's
already
in
our
zoning
code..
We
n't
need
to
update
it
for
vendors,
who
may
be
contemplate
ing
vending
in
the
sidewalk
areas,
as
they
can
already
do
that
on
private
property..
I
think
one
of
the
biggest
impediments
is
the
cost
of
obtaining
that
land
use
permit..
R
R
R
That
we
have
in
public
rights
of
way..
It
makes
it
possible
for
vendors
to
actually
use
the
ten
by
ten
tents
on
private
property
without
encroaching
into
that
accessible
zone..
So
there's
a
number
of
reasons
why
we
want
to
incentivizehose
vending
on
private
property.,
it's
primarily
looking
at
our
public
rights
of.
R
R
R
We
wouldn't
want
to
conflict
with
that,,
but
but
on
other
weekend
evenings
where
we
don't
have
any
other
events,
might
be
a
good
opportunity
to
set
those
up
and
specifically
make
those
available
for
our
food,
vendors
and
mobile
food
trucks..
I
think
that
would
be
particularly
helpful
during
the
summer
months
when
some
restaurants
close
and
we
don't
have
as
many
options
for
outdoor
dining
as
we
might
like.,
and
so
those
are
some
of
the
things
that
we
would
like
to
bring
forward
to
you
in
the
future.,
upon
adoption
of
the
ordinance.
and
with
that,.

That
concludes
my

the

quite
honestly,,

we
make
sure
it's
done.
Properly.,
I'm
not
sure..
I
don't
know
all
these
if
other
cities
have
done
to
what
you're
proposing,,
but
I
think
it's
terrific.,
I
do
believe
tt
with.
L
L
L
L
L
L
A
That's
fine.,
you
can
think.
yeah..
Thank
you,
everyone
for
your
cment.
I
dohink
that
a
big
part
of
this
is
this
continued
engagement..
We
do
have
folks
here
who
work
directly
with
street
vendors
and
immigrant
organizations
giving
us
feedback
on
this.,
and
it
certainly
isn't
perfect
as
it
is..
We
heard
requests
for
36in
instead
of.
A
.
for
the
weekend
hours
to
be
more
limited.,
I
think
the
requests
that
are
being
made
are
areeasoble.nd.
What
I'm
hearing
from
my
colleagues
is,
though,
is
that
they
like
what
we're
what
is
in
front
of
them.,
but
I
think
the
big
thing
is
that
we're
for
us
to
continue
to
be
engaged
with
these
groups,
to.
A
Be
be
watching
these
types
of
things
that
they're
bringing
forward
to
us..
So
if
we're,
if
we
pass
this
ordinance,
tonight,
kind
of
keeping
those
things
in
mind
as
we're
looking
at
these
vendors
to
say,
okay,,
maybe
is
48in
too
much,.
Should
we
reduce
to
36??
Are
these
hours
reasonable
or
or
should
they
be
changed
and
changing
themsneedeo.

Looked
on
the
agenda.,
I
was
so
excited.
as
normal
when
I
got
the
email.
um,
and
then
I
was
disappointed
because
I
didn't
see
anything
about
homelessness
or
affordable
housing.
and
I
was
like,
huh,
wonder
what's
goingoa
priority
of
this
council.-
so
I
was
just
going
to
say
once
again,
if
we
could
establish
a
homelessness
and
affordable
housing
task,
force,
that'd
be
good
and
we'd,
keep
it
on
on
the
agenda
and
up
front
and
up
center..
So
just
something
else
to
think
about.
and
remember,.
It
costhe
cy,
absolutely
nothing
to
do.
That.
all
right.
AI
AI

P
For
all
the
work
on
this
ordinance,
specifically,,
I'm
speaking
to
the
street
vending
ordinance.,
I
appreciate
all
of
the
improvements
made
to
the
ordinance
and
understand
the
work
that's
being
done..
I
also
work
to
support
small
businesses
and
understand
e
chleng
of
running
a
business
and
can
fully
understand
concerns
that
have
been
voiced.
with
that
said,.
I
do
think
that
the
state
law
is
clear,
and
there's
a
section
that
reads
that
for
purposes
of
this
section,
purposes
of
community
animus
or
economic
competition
does
not
constitute
an
objective
health
safety
or
welfare.
P
No
sense.,
if
you
have
immigrant
groups
speaking
out
and
asking
for
you
to
improve
the
ordinance,,
letting
you
know
that
this
is
at
the
behest
of
specific
businesses
in
downtown
town
and
that
you
are
making
decisions
for
that.
Specific
community,
violating
state
law
and
you're
still
choosing
to
move
forward
is
saying
a
lot
and
it's
something
that
the
council
should
be
very
aware
of
and
go
home
with
tonight
and
know
that
tonight
you
did
not
stand
with
immigrant
working
class
communities..
P
You
made
a
decision
in
favor
of
specific
economic
interests,,
and
that
represents
the
city
council
that
we
have
right
now
in
palm
springs.,
and
it's
unfortunate
and
I'd
also
like
to
mention
that
there
were
concerns
about
workers,
rights
and
labor
violations
raised
and
fairness
in
treatment
of
businesses
in
palm
springs,
and
I
grew
up
in
palm
springs
in
a
working
class.
Milyhave
lotf
family
members
that
worked
in
hotels
and
restaurants,
and
the
city
has
done
virtually
nothing
to
support
workers
rights,
to
fight
wage
theft,,
to
hold
restaurants
accountable,
to
hold
hotels
accountable..

Today
I
stand
before
you
addressing
a
to
adess,
a
pressing
issue
that
affects
not
only
our
community,
but
our
collective
humanity.,
the
growing
crisis
of
homelessness..
It
is
a
crisis
that
is
tearing
the
very
fabric
of
our
city
and
we
must
confront
it
with
urgency
and
compassion..
AJ
AJ
Affordable
housing
is
not
a
luxury.,
it
is
a
basic
human
need..
The
lack
of
affordable
housing
options
is
pushing
more
and
more
individuals
and
families.
Out
of
the
desert..
We
must
prioritize
the
creation
of
affordable
housing
units
to
allow
our
residents
to
live
with
dignity
and
insecurity..
Some
may.

I'm

and
wee
greful,
to
have
a
really
strong
working
relationship
with
your
team
and
the
spirit
of
that
coordination..
Then
I
wanted
to
inform
you
about
something.
That's
coming
up
on
the
horizon.,
the
state
water
board
of
california.
AK
..
The
draft
regulation
isn't
a
result
of
desert
water
agency
not
being
able
to
provide
or
supply
water
because
desert
water
agency
has
been
investing
in
effective
management
for
decades,
so
that
we
have
a
sustainable
supply.
as
drafted,.
The
regulations
will
put
desert
water
agency
in
t
position
of
reducing
water
sold
considerably
in
the
years
to
come.
throughout
the
city,,
including
at
city
sites
from.
AK
Billion
gallons,
a
year,
which
is
equivalent
to
removing
about
as
much
grass
as
we
find
at
sunrise
park
and
the
baseball
field
by
more
than
30
times.,
and
given
that
palm
springs
is
desert
water
agency's
largest
customer,.
We
wanted
to
let
you
know
that
more
aggressive
water
conservation
requirements
may
be
ahead.
Aer
the.
AK
Desert
water
agency
will
be
subjected
to
clients
to
compliance
ordinances
and
steep
fines.
if
we
exceed
those
objectives.
so
we're
working
to
ensure
that
the
regulations
appropriately
consider
such
local
nuances
like
heat,,
flh,
stms,,
seasonal
population
and
short
term
rentals..
We
welcome
the
city
to
engage
in
that
process
alongside
with
us.,
as
our
staff
has
shared
dates
for
public
hearings
and
comment,
letter
deadlines
with
your
team,
and
I
will
be
attending
a
public
hearing.
Ooctober
4th
in
sacramento,,
where
the
desert
water
agency
will
provide
testimony
on
those
regulations.
AK
given
how
much
these
regulated
could
impact
the
city,,
its
residents
and
its
businesses,.
We
wanted
to
share
this
opportunity
to
get
involved..
We
value
our
partnership
on
this
andf
course,,
so
many
other
things
,
and
we're
looking
forward
as
well
to
having
you,
as
our
council
members,
attend
a
future
tour.
with
regard
to
what
the
agency
does
for
the
city
of
palm
springs
and
the
rest
of
the
western.
AL
AL
And
making
sure
that
the
health
is
number
one
with
our
food
vendors
and
allowing
them
to
be
here.,
and
it's
going
to
and
thinking
outside
the
box
so
that
we
can
create
other
areas
that
we
do
have
more
street
vendors
that
we're
making
them
an
actual
event..
I
think
these
are
things
for
us
to
look
forward.
To.
thank
you.
also
for
our
affordable
housing..
I
work
with
martha's
village..
I
sit
on
the
board
and
what
we're
doing
is
breaking
ground.
AL
AL
What
city
,
um,
allowances
that
are
doing
for
the
homeless
unsheltered
and
what
we're,,
what
we're
doing
as
a
community.
and
that's
the
awareness
that
we
can
actually
bring,
because
I
don't
think
we
have
enough
people
advocating
saying
we
did
pass
this,.
We
do
have
this
coming
in
and
for
me
to
see
all
this,.
It's
a
joy,
because
we
are
the
leading
front
d.
a
so.
I
guess
we
are
blessed
to
be
here
in
in
in
palm
springs.
and
thank
you.
All.
A
They're
black
and
white.,
but
thank
you,
guys
all..
Thank
you
very
much.,
all
right.
that
can
includes
our
public
comment..
The
next
item
is
city
council
and
city
manager,
request
for
upcoming
agenda
development.,
and
before
I
pass
it
over
to
you,
city
manager,,
I
do
want
to
just
mention
that
we
did
have
a
member
from
find
food
bank..
I
think,
wasn't
able
to
stay
that
they
did
want
to
announce.
A
That
september
is
hunger
action
month
and
it's
a
great
opportunity
to
think
about
donating
to
find
food
bank
to
supporting
local
businesses
that
are
also
supporting,
find
food
bank
like
burba,
eight,,
four,,
nine
and
others
that
you
can
find
on
the
find
food
bank
website..
So
just
wanted
to
do
that.
Little
plug.
Since
I
know
they
they
had
hoped
to
do
it.
D
Themselves.
city
manager,
thank
you,
madam
mayor.
members
of
council,
and
also
I
want
to
thank
the
council
members
for
allowing
us
to
do
all
three
of
those
presentations
at
the
beginni
of
the
council.
Meeting.
important
stuff..
We
hadn't
met
in
a
while,,
but
we
wanted
to
get
all
that
information
out
to
the
community
..
D
D
Also
hoping
to
bring
forward
the
service
agreement,
agreement
with
martha's
village
for
the
manament
of
our
navigation,
center,,
the
early
access
center,
and
continued
operation
of
the
of
the
access
center,
early
entry
and
the
navigation
center.,
so
we're
working
with
them
on
all
three
parts
of
that.
and
finally,
know
that
there's
been
you've
had
some
discussion
about
parklets,,
and
we
want
to
bring
back
some
discussion
for
you
to
give
us
some
feedback
back
and
direction
on
parklets,
as
those
are
business
items.
In
addition
to
the
normal
consent.
R
Q
I
Q
I
Would
just,,
I
think,
want
more
information
before
directing
a
discussion
item,
before
directing
a
big
process
to
go
forward,,
because
that's
a
significant
use
of
staff
resources
and
planning,
commission
and
all
of
that..
I
do
support
in
general
having
our
ordinances
be
similar
and
have
the
same
rules..
I
think.
I
I
Mortar
retail.
and
there's
just
been
a
lot
of
work.
That's
been
done
on
that
for,.
You
know,
I'm
interested
to
hear
what
council
thinks,,
but
for
me
it's
a
further
it's
a
big
discussion
because
it's
there's
different
uses..
I
mean,.
I
understand
it's
just
ada,,
but
it
is
reducing
the
ada
access
on
the
sidewalk
for.
I
Q
A
I
R
R
H
A
L
Raising
that.
do
we
have
other
comments?
mayor
pro
tem?
yep.
a
couple
things.,
so
I
know
we're
having
a
cannabis
presentation
at
the
next
meeting
and
mayor
gardner
and
I
have
been
working
on
some
proposed
changes
to
the
ordinance
and
I
just
wanted
to
ask
that
we
get
permission
to
have
staff
help
draft
something
either
not
necessarily
before
the
next
meeting,
but
help
work
on
this.,
I'm
not
a
lawyer,.
So
I'm
not
really
good
at
drafting.
D
D
L
This
to
come
forward.,
but
is
we?
This
is
an
update,,
but
we
did
discuss
this
at
one
point
at
council
and
agree
that
we
would
that
may
air-
and
I
would
work
on
updates-
is
what
the
request
now
is
that
we
actually
need
staff
help
to
do
this,
because
it's
a
lot,
it's
a
130
page
ordinance
and
we
really
just
have
certain
changes..
I
know
council
member
holstege
has
brought
up
taxes.
there's
been
other
things.
so..
I
think
there.
D
I
L
Changes.
certain
ones
that
we
would
do
so
that,
instead
of
just
addressing
the
taxes
or
one
part
of
it,,
we
address
the
whole
thing
at
once.,
and
that
was
really
the
request..
But
I
did
not
my
request.
Tonight
was
whether
it
was
okay
to
be
start
engaging
staff
time
to
help
do
this,
as
opposed
to
just
us
doing
it
on
our
own.,
and
that
was
my.
L
L
L
.
and
on
that
note,
just
also
raise
that
following
rosh
hashanah,
yom
kippur
and
eight
days,,
which
is
e
hoest,ost
solemn
day
in
every
year.-
and
I
know
the
city
doesn't
do
events
on
yom
kippur,,
but
every
year,
there's
different
organizations
that
seem
to
schedule
events,,
especially
nonprofit,
ones,,
and
often
ones
that
celebrate
diversity
on
yom
kippur
and
it's.
I
would
encourage
us
to
remind
organizations
to
look
at
what.
