Next
item
exceptions:
the
agenda,
the
City
Council
at
this
time,
we'll
discuss
the
order
of
the
agenda
may
and
men
the
order
at
her
to
see
items
without
abstentions
or
no
votes
on
consent,
calendar
items
and
request
consent,
calendar
items
be
removed
for
discussion.
I
would
like
to
entertain
a
motion
for
acceptance.
The
agenda
are
there
any
items
any
council
member
would
like
removed
from
the
consent
calendar
for
a
separate
discussion,
and/or
vote.
A
E
I
would
also
like
to
request
that
item
1h,
which
is
the
approval
denomination
of
the
Palm
Springs
Airport
terminal,
building
to
the
National
Register
of
Historic
Places.
What
I'd
ask
is,
if
that
be
moved
to
the
second
meeting
in
April,
just
because
there
was
a
procedural
issue.
The
Airport
Commission
didn't
want
to
take
a
look
at
this,
so
we'll
schedule
that
for
the
next
Airport
Commission
meeting
and
mr.
Morsy
has
agreed
to
join
us
at
that
meeting
to
give
the
presentation
and
then
it'll
come
back
here
on
April
the
18th,
hey.
A
A
G
Senate
bill
905
regarding
the
extension
of
the
hours
for
alcoholic
beverages,
I
would
like
to
see
that
our
city
be
included
and
the
reason
behind
it
is
that
if
there
are
competitive
cities
that
are
going
to
be
included,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
lose
that
edge
against
our
competitive
cities.
So
I
hope
you
will
consider
that.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
H
You
very
much
mr.
mayor
and
members
of
the
council.
Pursuant
to
the
notice
closed
session
agenda,
the
City
Council
did
in
fact
address
each
and
every
existing
litigation
exposure
to
litigation
initiation
of
litigation
item
in
closed
session.
There
was
no
reportable
action
taken
on
any
of
those
matters.
H
The
City
Council
did
consider
my
evaluation
in
part
and
to
the
best
of
my
understanding,
we'll
continue
to
do
so
at
the
next
meeting
and
with
respect
to
real
property
negotiations,
we
only
had
the
opportunity
to
move
forward
with
one
of
the
noticed
items
that
was
three
for
two
through
three
for
four
North
Palm
Canyon
Drive.
We
did
not
take
up
the
other
two
real
estate
items
that
were
noticed
and
we
did
not
have
a
conference
with
labor
negotiator
in
closed
session
today.
That
completes
my
report
as
to
closed
session
action.
H
I
do
wish
to
report
that,
pursuant
to
council
authorization
in
a
prior
closed
session
that
we
were
able
to
settle
the
case
of
masters
versus
Palm
Springs,
we
did
so
with
the
council's
authorization.
The
amount
of
the
settlement
was
$75,000.
The
city
did
not
in
settling
the
matter,
acknowledge
any
liability
or
legal
responsibility
for
any
of
the
claimed
damages,
but
the
settlement
was
entered
in
favor
or
in
lieu
of
the
extremely
high
costs
of
litigation.
That
concludes
my
report.
With
respect
to
that
matter,
hey.
A
A
The
trees
was
there
and
also
the
Golf
Course
manager
and,
of
course,
our
city
manager,
our
city
attorney
and
our
sister
city
manager,
and
we
had
a
very
good
discussion
with
this
on
action,
the
process
and
how
it
would
work.
The
city
attorney
presented
and
explained
to
the
residents
a
couple
of
different
waivers
and
that
needed
to
be
done
to
allow
these
trees
to
be
moved,
removed,
removed
from
the
property
and
we
there
was
a
few
questions.
Those
questions
were
answered
and
we
told
people
that
we
would
start
this
after.
A
We
received
the
waivers
from
the
people
along
the
Golf
Course
and
we
asked
people
to
get
them
in
within
10
days,
most
of
the
people
who
were
all
the
people
who
attended
turned
them
in
at
that
time,
and
a
few
others
who
weren't
able
to
attend.
We
both
sent
them
to
them
and
delivered
them
to
their
homes,
so
everyone
has
them
and
they
are
doing
by
the
27th.
So
at
that
point
we
should
be
able
to
start
planning
when
we're
going
to
move
these
trees.
So
it
was
a.
A
Another
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
is
in
April
we're
sure
the
budget
Covidien
hat
may
have
something
to
say:
we're
gonna
be
starting
the
budget
and
by
ordinance
I'm,
the
head
of
the
Finance
Committee
and
council
member
Kaur
is
on
it
with
me,
but
there's
also
a
budget
committee.
That's
going
to
be
working,
and
we
can't
talk
outside
of
here
because
of
Brown
Act,
so
I
just
want
to
mention
a
couple
of
things.
I
want
to
make
sure
since
I
was
on
the
Budget
Committee
the
past
two
years,
but
I'm
not
on
it.
A
A
That's
because
we
were
quite
aware
of
the
fact
that
if
we
look
around
the
city,
everything
from
City
Hall
to
the
village
green,
to
the
library
to
the
police
stations
to
the
fire
stations,
we
have
so
many
city
buildings
and
there's
a
lot
of
maintenance
that
has
been
sort
of
deferred
on
those
for
a
number
of
years
and
needs
to
be
addressed
in
a
priority
manner.
So
what
the
city
has
done
is
done.
A
A
study,
195
pages,
which
is
very
comprehensive
and
it
gives
the
total
of
the
the
requirement
forecast
for
20
years
thing
is
that
took
that
requirement.
Forecast
for
20
years
is
269
million
dollars,
and
of
that
98
million
is
the
airport,
which
comes
mostly
from
the
FAA
I
talked
to
dr.
Reddy
about
this,
mostly
from
the
FAA,
and
the
airport,
of
course,
is
its
own
enterprise
fund.
A
That's
98
million
of
it
and
3
million
is
the
water
wastewater
treatment
plant,
but
that
still
leaves
168
million
dollars
at
least
of
maintenance,
and
it
needs
to
be
done
over
20
years,
and
that
does
not-
and
that
means
8.4
million
dollars
a
year.
That
needs
to
be
done,
and
that
does
not
include
things
such
as
the
downtown
park.
I
mean
that
the
the
underground
parking
place,
because
that's
taken
out
of
measure
J
now
and
there's
some
other
things
that
aren't
included
here.
A
But
if
you
add
that
to
the
fact
that
we
also
have
162
million
unfunded
pension
liability
and
44
million
dollars
in
OPEB,
which
is
other
personnel
employment
benefits
which
now
this
year
because
of
new
accounting
rules.
That
goes
to
the
balance
sheet,
where
it
was
a
footnote
before.
So
we
really,
you
know
we're
setting
aside
money
for
the
unfunded
pension
liability,
but
I
really
would
like
to
ask
the
Budget
Committee.
A
So
we
can
consider,
as
an
entire
Council,
a
plan
to
look
at
these
very
significant,
a
hundred
and
168
million
dollars
with
the
maintenance
and
figure
out
how
we're
going
to
fund
this,
because
if
we
keep
kicking
it
down
the
road
five
or
ten
years
from
now,
we're
going
to
have
a
huge
bell
curve
in
front
of
us
that
the
city
will
not
be
able
to
do
so.
I,
just
like
was
the
head
of
the
Finance
Committee
I
just
wanted
to
bring
that
up.
Okay,
council,
member
Middleton,
I.
I
I
First
with
recently
I,
raised
question
as
part
of
the
investment
report
as
to
whether
or
not
city
of
Palm
Springs
had
any
investments
in
firms
that
either
manufacture
or
distribute
guns,
and
was
reassured
that,
by
virtue
of
our
social
responsibility
policy,
we
do
not
have
any
such
investments.
I
asked
a
similar
question
of
the
Riverside
County
Transportation
Commission
and
the
Sunline
Transportation
Board
Sunline
is
still
investigating
as
to
whether
or
not
they
do
or
do
not
have
any
gun
manufacturing
stock
in
their
portfolio.
I
I
will
report
back
once
I
learn
of
that
Riverside
County
Transportation
Commission
did
have
an
opportunity
to
study
and
came
to
a
determination
that
they
did
not
have
any
investments
in
gun
manufacturers
or
gun
distributors.
This
was
not
as
a
result
of
a
social
responsibility
policy,
similar
to
what
city
of
Palm
Springs
has,
but
the
result
of
their
guidelines
for
the
financial
strength
of
where
they
make
investments.
I
They
did.
Staff
did
report
back
to
me
that
if
at
some
point
in
time
in
the
future,
they
would
have
any
investments
in
firms
that
manufactured
our
distributed
guns
that
they
would
report
that
back
to
the
city
of
Palm
Springs,
so
that
we
could
make
a
determination
here
on
this
council
as
to
whether
or
not
we
wanted
to
make
a
request
of
the
Transportation
Commission
to
not
have
such
an
investment
policy.
I
I
cannot
tell
you
as
to
what
the
opinion
of
the
various
cities
in
Riverside
County
that
are
part
of
the
transportation
Commission
would
be
to
such
a
move
on
our
part
were
we
to
take
it,
but
what
I
can
report
is,
at
least
as
of
this
moment.
There
are
no
investments
in
the
in
such
firms
at
the
Riverside
County,
Transportation
Commission
and
given
the
size
of
their
investment
portfolio.
I,
think
that
is
pretty
profound.
I
A
second
Commission
that
I'm
a
part
of
the
Coachella
Valley
Mountain
Conservancy
at
their
recent
meeting
on
March
12
city
of
Palm
Springs,
was
an
applicant
for
the
mountain
Conservancy
to
purchase
the
property
that
has
been
known
as
the
crescendo
project.
The
proposal
was
for
the
mountain
Conservancy
to
purchase
this
for
the
price
that
was
being
asked
for
by
the
owner
of
the
property
grit
development,
which
is
five
million
dollars,
or
approximately
120
thousand
dollars
per
acre.
I
Given
rules
regarding
conflict
of
interest,
I
was
not
able
to
participate
in
that
discussion
since
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
was
the
applicant,
but
I
was
present.
When
the
discussion
took
place.
The
staff
report
did
not
recommend
moving
forward
with
that
purchase
due
to
staffs
opinion
that
it
was
doubtful
that
it
would
make
any
improvements
in
the
water
quality
of
the
area
is
not
in
an
undisturbed
state.
The
property
is
near
development
and
is
not
a
recognized
protected
species
habitat
the
mountain
Conservancy
voted
unanimously,
not
to
purchase
the
property
at
five
million
dollars.
A
I
Crescendo
project
is
adjacent
to
tram
or
a
tramway
Road
and
is
immediately
a
part
of
the
Chino
cone,
although
it
is
right
at
the
very
edge
of
the
Chino
cone
last
one
is
desert.
Community,
Energy
and
I
had
the
opportunity
to
sit
in
on
that
meeting
this
Monday,
covering
for
council
member
Coors
desert
community
energy,
is
the
community
choice,
aggregation
program
that
is
being
worked
on
by
Coachella
Valley
Association
of
government.
Currently
there
are
three
cities
that
are
participating
are
planning
to
participate
in
that
program.
I
Cathedral
City,
Palm
Desert
in
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
progress
is
moving
forward
to
have
the
startup
of
the
CCA
available
to
customers
in
Palm
Springs.
Before
the
end
of
summer.
This
year
the
option
to
opt
out
of
the
program
will
be
made
known
to
everyone.
Within
our
city.
There
are
going
to
be
two
plan
options
that
will
be
available
to
individuals.
I
Actually,
three,
you
can
stay
with
Southern
California
Edison
to
purchase
power
for
you
or
you
can
take
a
basic
plan
which
will
increase
the
amount
of
green
energy
over
what
you
get
from
Southern
California
Edison
and
reduce
the
amount
of
your
cost.
Probably,
by
approximately
3%
on
your
generation
bill,
not
your
total
bill.
Just
your
generation
bill
from
Edison.
There
will
also
be
a
one
hundred
percent
carbon
free
option
that
will
be
available.
I
A
F
Thank
You
mayor,
so
just
I
want
to
report
out
to
Council
on
on
two
meetings
that
I
attended.
Once
with
Councilman
Middleton,
we
met
with
grit
development
on
the
downtown
subcommittee,
which
would
be
the
Downtown
Development
subcommittee.
The
topics
for
that
meeting
were
specifically
how
we
would
handle
parcel
B,
which
is
where
the
Virgen
hotel
is
approve,
to
go
and
parcel
be,
is
it
would
really
be
parcel?
Be
one
parcel
be
I.
Guess
is
where
H&M
is?
Isn't
it
I
think
so
behind
that
group
of
development?
F
So
it's
it's
with
a
parcel,
that's
directly
east
of
what
will
be
the
new
downtown
Park
and
there
are
two
concepts
for
that.
One
is
that
it
would
become
a
temporary
sculpture
garden
and
we
would
work
in
concert
with
our
Arts
Commission
on
that
and
and
the
Palm
Springs
Art
Museum.
The
other
option
is
that
it
would
just
become
additional
parking
for
for
now.
Apparently,
the
Virgin
Hotel
is
slated
to
start
in
about
a
year
from
now,
and
so
we
asked
for
more
information
on
that,
and
so
we
don't
have
a
definite
decision
on
that.
F
The
problem
is
you:
can
you
are
required
by
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
to
use
Palm
Springs
disposal
service
for
for
all
disposal
needs,
but
what
we
have
on
some
sites
is
that
people
are
hiring
side,
people
to
Holloway
construction
debris
to
the
dump
directly
and
the
problem
with
that.
Besides,
a
violation
of
our
franchise
agreement
is
that,
when
Palm
Springs,
when
the
disposal
service
does
it,
they
automatically
separate
the
recyclables
from
the
garbage
in
the
in
the
construction
debris.
So
we're
looking
for
some
programs
that
will
be
more
appealing.
F
You
know
going
to
use
sugar
I
hope,
instead
of
vinegar
to
attract
contractors
and
builders,
to
start
to
start
doing
better
recycling,
diversion
and
will
report
more
on
that
program
when
we
get
it,
but
it
was
a
good
meeting
and
Palm
Springs
disposal
services
dedicated
to
coming
up
with
some
new
and
better
ways
to
do
that.
We
challenged
them
to
be
the
new
model
by
which
other
cities
would
use
for
diverting.
F
The
best
news
we
got
out
of
that
meeting
is
about
700,000
tons
of
just
construction,
debris
is
thrown
out
and
the
50,000
tons
of
it
are
already
being
separated
and
the
recycling
is
being
diverted.
So
we
are
not
only
doing
really
well
on
that
front,
but
we
are
meeting
and
exceeding
the
state
requirement
currently
for
for
recycling.
F
C
C
Craig
Ewing,
so
that's
very
exciting
for
our
shelter
as
we
move
forward
and
streamlining
lining
our
processes
and
I'm
having
someone
oversee
all
the
operations,
there
I
think
it'll
make
a
big
difference
for
our
community
and
for
the
amazing
work
that
the
animal
shelter
does.
It's
just
become
such
a
large
operation
and
so
successful
and
so
I
think
that
will
be
great
to
have
that
success.
Continue.
I
also
wanted
to
update
that
I
attend
the
community
action
ship
meetings.
C
I
was
appointed
to
that
board
as
a
city
council
member
for
the
city
of
Palm,
Springs,
that's
for
the
county
of
Riverside,
my
first
meeting
they
considered
and
decided
to
move
those
meetings
from
banning
or
somewhere
in
the
middle
of
the
region
to
Riverside
itself.
So
I
voted
no
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
Palm
Springs.
At
my
first
meeting,
I
made
some
good
friends
and
I
voted
no
for
our
residents,
who
have
a
right
to
attend
those
meetings
and
be
aware
of
the
poverty
prevention
programs.
C
It's
a
big
poverty
prevention
board
that
does
a
lot
of
good
work
for
the
entire
region.
Unfortunately,
I
was
outvoted,
and
so
those
meetings
are
now
in
Riverside,
which
I
will
attend,
but
grudgingly
another
update
is
our
homelessness
task
force
for
our
city
has
scheduled
our
quarterly
meeting
for
April
12th
that
will
be
at
4
p.m.
at
the
fire
training
center,
which
is
3,000
East.
Alejo.
C
A
lot
of
people
constantly
are
asking
Jeff
and
I
who
serve
as
the
Subcommittee
on
homelessness,
how
they
can
get
involved,
and
we
meet
with
a
lot
of
interested
residents
who
want
to
talk
more
about
homelessness
with
us
and
we're
always
happy
to
do
that.
But
really
the
best
way
to
get
involved
on
this
issue
is
come
to
that
homelessness
task
force
meeting
so
that
you
can
get
a
prized
of
what
everything
is.
You
know
what
we're
all
doing
on
that
issue
and
so
that
you
can
help
out
and
get
involved
too.
C
So
that'll
be
on
the
city
calendar
of
events,
councilmember
Middleton
and
I
attended
the
principal
for
a
day
program
with
the
Palm
Springs
Unified
School
District,
so
I
went
to
see
Ella
Vista
charter
school
and
saw
their
K
through
8
program.
I
got
to
go
to
a
slime,
making
class
where
the
kids
were.
Making
slime
and
I
also
got
to
be
in
the
room
where
they
announce
to
the
eighth
graders,
who
had
applied
for
transfers
to
Palm
Springs
High.
C
They
live
from
all
over
the
region
and
they
really
wanted
to
go
to
Palm
Springs
High
because
of
the
excellent
education
that's
available.
There
and
I
got
to
get
be
in
the
room
in
the
principal's
office
when
they
announced
it
to
the
students
and
they
actually
cheered
and
jumped
up
and
down
and
screamed
and
I've,
never
seen
quite
anything
like
it,
students
being
excited
to
go
to
high
school,
so
it
was
really.
C
It
was
just
a
really
good
experience
and
to
be
reminded
of
all
the
kids
that
are
in
our
community
and
go
to
our
schools
here
and
the
high
school
students
and
they're
really
fit.
It
was
a
really
fantastic
experience
and
council
middle
council
member
Middleton
went
to
quia.
Is
that
right
or
you
went
to.
A
I
She
elementary
school
I
had
an
absolutely
wonderful
time.
I
got
to
play
leprechaun
and
mess
up
classes.
Well,
students
were
out
I
am
the
tallest
leprechaun
known
to,
and
probably
the
most
English
and
I
came
away
from
that
experience,
absolutely
with
refreshed
and
incredibly
proud
of
the
educators,
the
principal
and
the
students
in
our
community
I.
C
C
My
final
comment
is
about
pedestrian
safety,
so
I
know
we
had
two
fatalities
over
the
last
week
or
so,
and
I
got
a
lot
of
emails
from
constituents
asking
about
what
we
can
do
as
a
city
to
you
know,
can
to
review
our
pedestrian
safety
and
really
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
everything
we
can
to
prevent
these
type
so
fatalities.
I
know
you
know
a
lot
of
that
is
still
being
investigated
about
what
happened
in
those
particular
incidents
but
I'm
just
making
a
comment.
C
Broadly
so
I
would
like
to
see
us
bring
that
back
for
a
discussion
item
or
have
some
recommendations
or
appoint
a
subcommittee
through
the
council
so
that
we
can
sort
of
take
on
that
issue.
I
know
staff
works
on
that
on
a
on
a
daily
basis,
but
I
as
a
council.
Member
would
like
to
help
support
that
work
so
that
we
can
protect
all
of
our
people
here
in
Palm.
Springs,
that's
all
I
have
mr.
mayor.
J
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
so
two
things
for
staff.
One
is
ordinance
1927,
which
is
the
rental
assistance
ordinance
that
former
councilmember
vote
and
I
drafted
for
conversion
of
apartments
into
other
projects,
hotels,
condominiums,
etc.
We
did
a
one-year
ordinance
with
a
thought
that
we
might
want
to
expand
it
through
the
affordable
housing
subcommittee.
That
hasn't
happened
yet
so
it
expires
on
April
5th.
So
can
we
please
bring
that
back
to
extend
it
as
an
urgency
ordinance
at
the
next
meeting?
J
And
then
maybe
the
affordable
housing
subcommittee
could
look
at
any
revisions,
but
we
don't
want
to
have
a
gap
in
those
protections
for
tenants.
So
that
was
one.
The
other
was
a
couple
meetings
ago
and
asked
for
us
to
look
into
some
potential
changes
when
people
file
appeals
to
our
board
of
appeals
so
that
we
don't
have
a
situation
when
we
only
have
three
of
the
five
members
present
and
on
a
two-to-one
vote,
someone's
denied
an
appeal
and
I
know
we.
J
Some
of
the
suggestions,
the
city
attorney
and
I
talked
about
was
having
alternates
for
that
that
board.
But
if
we
can
move
on
that,
because
I
don't
want
us
to
be
in
that
position
again
where
we
are
in
the
position,
we
only
have
three
members
and
if
it's
not
unanimous,
someone
has
less
than
the
majority
of
the
board
members
voting
to
deny
them
and
their
their
appellate
rights.
J
And
the
last
thing
I
have
is
actually
a
statement
from
the
tire
counsel
which
I'm
going
to
read,
part
of
and
councilmember
Middleton's
gonna
read
part
of,
but
it's
been
approved
by
the
entire
Council.
So
on
March
5th
2018,
the
city
of
Palm
Springs,
received
a
letter
from
an
attorney
representing
the
Southwest
voter
education
registration,
education
project
and
its
members
residing
in
Palm
Springs.
J
The
letter
alleges
that
Palm
Springs
is
in
violation
of
the
California
Voting
Rights
Act,
due
to
the
city's
process
of
utilizing
at-large
elections
instead
of
district
elections
to
elect
members
of
our
City
Council
and
at
the
at
large
election
process,
has
diminished
the
ability
of
Latino
residents
to
impact
elections
and
has
resulted
in
racially
polarized
voting.
The
Southwest
voter
registration
education
project
requests
that
the
city
voluntarily
switched
from
at-large
elections
to
district
elections.
J
Pursuant
to
the
California
Voting
Rights
Act,
or
face
judicial
action
to
force
the
city
to
do
so,
a
determination
of
whether
Palm,
Springs
or
any
other
elected
governmental
body
is
in
violation
of
the
California
Voting.
Rights
Act
is
based
on
an
analysis
of
the
relevant
facts
which
are
considered
under
law:
the
southwest
voter
registration,
education
project
sites,
Palm
Springs,
large
Latino
population
and
historic,
lack
of
Latino
representation
on
the
City
Council
and
his
example
of
evidence
for
their
claim.
J
They
did
not
include
demographic
analysis
in
support
of
their
claim
of
racially
polarized
voting
and
did
not
mention
that
one
has
been
performed.
Although
a
court
would
likely
consider
the
totality
totality
of
the
circumstances
to
determine
if
a
violation
of
the
California
California
Voting
Rights
Act
exists,
the
key
legal
questions
considered
include
whether
the
protected
minority
groups,
voters
have
diminished
ability
to
influence
election
a
comes
and
whether
there
is
evidence
of
racially
polarized
voting.
J
Those
determinations
require
a
detailed
democrat
demographic
analysis
as
a
facts
or
the
basis
of
any
legal
judgment
as
to
whether
a
violation
exists.
It
should
be
noted
that
creation
of
a
district
where
a
protected
minority
group
is
the
majority
is
not
required
under
the
California
Voting
Rights
Act.
The
public
process
will
begin
on
April
19th
at
a
special
meeting,
while
it's
important
to
obtain
the
democratic
information
prior
to
making
any
decision
or
recommendation.
J
It
should
be
noted
that
no
California
City
served
with
a
notice
of
violation
of
the
California
Voting
Rights
Act
has
won
in
court
and
sustained
an
at-large
election
system
for
all
members
of
the
City
Council.
Each
city
that
has
fought
district
elections
has
lost
and
been
required
to
pay
both
sides
attorneys
fees
and
costs
in
their
losing
effort.
These
fees
can
and
often
do
run
into
millions
of
dollars.
I
Recently,
our
neighbors
Cathedral
City
in
India
receives
such
a
notice.
Both
Cathedral,
City
and
Indio
chose
to
change
their
at-large
elections
to
district
based
elections
for
all
members
of
their
City
Council's.
Similarly,
Palm
Springs,
Unified,
School
Board
and
the
College
of
the
desert,
Board
of
Trustees,
have
moved
to
district
elections.
In
recent
years,
most
California
City
Council's
elected
at-large,
upon
receipt
of
a
voting
rights
violation
notice
have
chosen
to
voluntarily
switch
to
districts.
I
Since
receiving
the
letter
we
have
met
with
our
city
attorney
and
the
City
Council
ad
hoc
subcommittee
on
California
Voting
Rights
Act,
consisting
of
councilmember
Coors
and
myself
has
met
with
outside
expert
counsel.
We
have
engaged
a
demography
expert
to
fully
understand
and
document
our
voting
patterns
by
ethnicity
and
geography
and
we'll
share
the
results
at
public
hearings.
One
we
receive
them.
We
intend
to
fully
understand
every
legal
and
financial
decision
that
is
before
us
and
provide
that
information
to
our
residents.
I
Finally,
our
public
hearings
will
take
place
prior
to
making
any
decision
and
include
the
public
in
the
process
of
drawing
any
districts
that
kook
formed.
Most
importantly,
we
remain
committed
to
diversity
and
inclusion
and
will
proceed
in
a
manner
that
is
consistent
with
the
law
and
our
values.
Long
before
the
receipt
of
this
letter,
the
city
took
steps
to
make
diversity
and
inclusion
a
priority.
In
2016,
we
created
an
ethics,
transparency
and
Government
Reform
taskforce.
I
We
already
have
implemented
many
of
the
task
force's
recommendations.
Over
the
past
few
months,
the
government
reform
working
group
and
the
diversity
and
inclusion
working
group
have
met
to
finalize
recommendations
to
ensure
our
elections
serve
our
residents
and
that
our
government
reflects
the
diversity
that,
as
Palm
Springs
as
always,
we
are
committed
to
making
decisions
in
an
open
and
transparent
manner
that
are
in
the
best
interests
of
our
residents.
End
of
statement
in
mr.
city
manager,
I
believe
the
this
statement
is
being
made
available
now
to
the
public
in
written
form.
Thank
you.
A
And
I'd
like
to
comment
that,
because
this
was
pending
a
litigation,
we
considered
this
in
closed
session
earlier
and
I
appointed
the
out
of
the
sub
of
the
ad
hoc
committee
of
councilmember,
Coors
and
councilmember
Middleton,
and
that's
why
they've
been
working
on
this
because
of
so
people
understand
because
of
Brown
Act
restrictions.
Only
two
council
members
could
work
on
this,
but,
as
was
described,
we
will
be
going
into
a
number
of
public
meetings
on
this,
so
the
entire
community
will
be
involved.
F
Of
course,
we're
working
with
the
city's
designated
preservation
organization,
which
is
Palm
Springs,
modern
committee,
they've
done
an
awesome.
Job
they've
been
researching
a
lot
of
history
as
well
and
currently
are
working
closely
with
dunn-edwards
to
research,
the
original
paints
and
the
original
colors
for
the
building.
So
the
building
or
the
entire
complex
of
the
Town
&
Country
center,
along
with
being
shored
up
and
repair
and
landscape
cleanup,
will
be
repainted
to
its
original
colors.
F
At
least
that's
that's
what
we're
looking
at
now,
but
we'll
bring
that
to
the
council
before
those
final
decisions
are
made.
But
again
the
idea
is
to
get
it
cleaned
up
until
such
time.
The
developer
changes
his
focus
from
the
new
development
back
to
the
Town
&
Country
Center,
of
course,
with
the
class
1
designation,
the
original
Town
&
Country
Center
will
need
to
stay
intact,
regardless
of
what
else
the
developer
wants
to
do
on
the
property
and
within
the
parking
lots
of
that
property,
but
more
to
come
on
that
a.
F
E
I
think
Thank
You
mayor
mayor,
a
couple
things
and
council
a
couple
things.
I
would
just
like
to
note.
As
we
get
started.
Oh
I'd,
like
the
chief
to
come
to
the
microphone.
We
we've
had
a
very
interesting
improvement
in
our
crime
statistics
and
and
I
thought.
This
was
so
important
that
I
want
to
ask
the
chief
to
take
a
minute
and
walk
you
through
a
couple
of
these
important
numbers.
B
Pretty
incredible-
and
you
know
it's
not
just
the
police
department-
there's
a
lot
to
be
said
behind
that
slide.
Obviously,
forty
seven
percent
decrease
in
residential
burglary
in
a
town
where
were
a
tourist
destination
and
that's
on
top
of
twenty
three
percent
drop
in
2016
and-
and
let
me
just
share
with
you
some
some
factors
that
I
see
this
that
have
been
stacked
against
us.
Obviously,
if
somebody
bill
109
knocked
down
drug
crimes,
all
two
misdemeanors,
the
threshold
for
theft,
is
now
950
dollars.
B
Forty
thousand
plus
inmates
have
been
released
in
riverside
county
jails
earlier
than
they
were
expected
to
all.
Those
things
are
things
that
work
against
our
efforts,
so
when
I
became
chief
I
made
it
a
point
that
we
need
to
partner
with
the
community
and
get
one
PS
on
board
and
prevent
it
before
it
occurs,
because
when
the
crime
is
occurring,
they're
not
doing
it
in
jail
time
and
the
criminals
are
aware
of
this.
B
Some
other
factors
I
mean
clearly.
Obviously
the
additional
officers
downtown
has
freed
up
our
Petrof
sirs
to
engage
our
community.
The
homeless
outreach
teams
that
you've
given
us,
has
also
freed
up
our
patrol
officers
to
go
and
engage
in
our
community
and
and
another
big
factor
that
many
people,
probably
don't
even
consider,
is
a
team
that
you
created
for
our
vacation.
B
Rentals
vacation
rentals
was
heavily
relied
upon
the
police
department
to
goal
in
respond
and
address
those
calls
for
service,
probably
90,
plus
percent
decrease
in
response
to
vacation
rentals,
because
that
team
that's
been
created
is
relieved.
The
police
department
to
again
engage
our
community
to
drive
these
numbers
down.
K
E
And
there
I
think
mayor
one
other
thing:
I
just
like
to
point
out
to
you:
there's
one
more
slide.
If
we
could
put
up.
As
you
know,
we
just
finished
modernism
week
and
I
I
think
this
was
just
worth
mentioning
note.
As
you
can
see
there,
attendances
has
grown
significantly
over
the
five
years,
their
demographics,
every
state
in
the
Union
is
represented
in
19
countries
and
then
all
of
the
events
and
free
events,
so
I
just
thought,
it'd
be
worth
noting
that
they
just
finished
in
I
know.
Mr.
E
F
B
Sure
so,
first
of
all,
on
behalf
of
the
board
and
the
staff
at
modernism
week,
we'd
like
to
thank
city
council,
mayor
moon,
the
city
manager,
the
city
attorney,
everybody
that
was
involved
in
helping
us
this
year
and
in
your
support,
but
mostly
for
securing
the
downtown
lot
for
camp
this
year.
It
was
significant
and
it
really
helped
boost
our
numbers
this
year
to
126
thousand.
So
thank
you
very
much
of
that.
B
B
B
F
B
Well,
the
great
thing
is
that
we
had
26
neighborhood
organization
that
opened
up
their
homes.
This
year
we
expanded
our
programming
down
Valley,
which
really
helped
our
partner
organizations
increase
the
number
of
events
that
they
were
having,
so
it
really
all
came
together
as
a
real
community
event
this
year,
and
so
we
really
appreciate
everybody
getting
involved.
We
had
over
400
local
volunteers
working
with
this
as
well.
F
Chris,
would
you
I'm
hoping
that
you
will
do
some
sort
of
press
release
on
this,
because
the
wider
community
can
know
the
positive
impacts
of
this
event?
I
think
the
doctor
ready,
if
I'm,
not
wrong,
hasn't
mater
modernism
even
eclipsed
the
film
festival
on
the
revenues
and
resources
and
things
that
it's
bringing
in
to
the
city
and
attendance
as
well.
A
B
A
A
A
C
C
And
so
thank
you
to
city
staff.
The
city
attorney
the
City
Council
for
considering
this
and
moving
forward
and
submitting
formal
comment.
I
think
we
always
talk
about
pumps,
bearings
being
a
leader
for
our
region
and
what,
as
well
as
the
state
and
I,
know
it's
important
to
all
of
us
to
be
a
leader
on
conservation.
C
We
received
today
as
well
a
letter
from
the
Sierra
Club
in
support
of
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
formal
comment.
That's
that
will
be
submitted
if
you
accept
this,
and
so
I
also
wanted
to
make
a
comment
to
the
public
that
all
members
of
the
public
are
also
able
to
submit
formal
comment.
The
deadline
is
tomorrow,
March
22nd,
and
if
you
look
at
the
staff
report,
it
gives
direction
about
how
to
submit
that
formal
comment
and
you
can
do
so
electronically
to
the
email
address
for
the
Bureau
of
Land
Management.
So,
thank
you.
A
Thank
you-
and
this
is
a
reminiscent
of
the
last
council
when
we
passed
a
similar
resolution
opposing
the
Eagle
mountain
of
project,
where
they're
going
to
be
pumping
billions
of
gallons
of
water
out
of
a
reservoir
to
do
a
hydroelectric
dam
and
at
which
time
I
said,
doesn't
make
sense,
but
windmills
where
there's
no
wind.
Why
have
hydroelectric?
Where
there's
no
water?
So
sometimes
we
have
to
comment
on
these
things
in
our
region.
So
motion
to
approve
has
been
made
by
a
council
for
holstege
motions.

D
Good
evening
mr.
mayor
Mayor,
Pro,
Tem
and
council
each
year,
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
receives
Community
Development,
Block
Grant
funds,
the
US
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development.
Hud
funds
are
allocated
locally
and
are
used
for
various
programs
and
projects
in
the
city
that
accomplished
one
of
three
national
objectives:
those
are
benefiting
low
and
moderate
income
persons,
eliminating
slums
or
blight
and
meeting
urgent
local
community
development
needs.
It
is
important
to
note
that
70%
of
CDBG
expenditures
must
benefit
low
and
moderate
income
persons.
D
By
way
of
process,
staff
announced
the
availability
of
the
RFP
for
CDBG
funding
for
the
upcoming
fiscal
year
on
December,
28th
and
again
on
January
17th
email
announcements
were
also
sent
on
December
28th,
a
pre
proposal
workshop
was
held
on
January
18th,
nine
RFPs
were
distributed.
Eight
proposals
requesting
funding
were
submitted
by
the
February
1
deadline.
A
Citizens,
Advisory,
Committee
or
CAC
was
assembled
to
evaluate
the
proposals.
D
The
CAC
held
a
public
hearing
on
February
22nd
and
all
seven
RFP
respondents
attended
the
public
hearing
and
the
CAC
finalized
the
recommendations
on
March
1st
today's
public
hearing
is
the
second
of
the
two
required
public
hearings
for
the
CDBG
funding
allocation
process.
The
CDBG
allocations
recommended
by
the
CAC
are
intended
to
be
the
annual
action
plan
for
fiscal
year
2019.
D
It
should
also
be
noted
that
the
consolidated
plan
is
the
broader
five-year
community
development
plan
require
by
hud
for
all
jurisdictions
that
apply
for
and
receive
HUD
funding.
The
consolidated
plan
is
designed
to
help
local
jurisdictions
assess
their
affordable
housing
and
community
development
needs
and
market
conditions.
D
This
includes
improvements
to
nonprofit
medical
and
social
service
facilities,
a
DA
or
Americans,
with
Disabilities
Act
curve
and
ramp
improvements
in
low
and
moderate
income,
neighborhoods
emergency
assistance
to
low-income
seniors,
providing
assistance
to
low
and
moderate
income,
tenants,
improving
facilities
for
programs
and
services
and
providing
protection
and
advocacy
for
residents
and
skilled
nursing
and
resident
care
facilities.
Your
action
tonight
will
determine
what
the
action
plan
will
be.
D
Notice
of
the
availability
of
the
action
plan
will
be
being
available
to
the
public
following
tonight's
action
that
you
take
and
pursuant
to
a
30-day
public
review
period,
programs
and
activities
are
scheduled
to
begin
on.
August
1
I'd
also
like
to
recognize
and
thank
the
CAC
members
for
their
time
and
effort
in
assisting

D
F
Thank
You
mayor
Thank,
You,
Jay
I
question
a
few
questions
so
when
applications
are
brought
in
for
the
Block
Grants
for
specific
things
constructions,
examples
of
that
would
be
number
one
that
you
know
the
desert,
AIDS
Project
for
their
energy
efficiency,
LED
retro
lighting
upgrade
Public
Works
doing
its
ad
a
curb
ramp
Mizell
wanting
$40,000
for
an
enclosure
to
do
real
bids
come
with
that.
How
would
how
are
those
determined
and
monitored
in
terms
of
those
sums.
D
F
We're
not
seeing
any
of
that.
So,
if
we're
being
asked
to
make
that
determination,
I'd
like
to
I'd
like
to
really
how
do
we
know
those
monies
are
going
to
be
spent
for
those
things
and
how
do
we
and
what
say,
do
we
have
in
the
determination
of
the
costs
of
these
things,
particularly
when
other
things
that
have
you
know
other
groups,
obviously
that
have
applied
or
not
getting
nothing.
G
G
We
have
a
list
of
those
areas
and
the
affected
curb
ramps.
We
develop
a
cost
estimate
based
on
the
available
seed,
CDBG
funding,
that's
been
historically
put
to
these
projects
and
then
we
come
up
with
a
project
to
fit
that
available
funding
and
we
allocate
that
or
we
proposed
that
budget
for
the
next
fiscal
year.
F
That
didn't
answer
my
question
on
some
of
the
other
ones.
In
other
words,
obviously
these
groups
make
requests
so
the
city
one,
is
a
little
easier
because
we
go
through
a
very
strict
bidding
process
for
everything
that
we
do,
but
some
of
the
other
organizations
like
DA,
P
and
Mizell.
Do
we
get
very
specific,
multiple
bids
for
these
sort
of
things?
Is
there
a
protocol
that
we
follow
for
this
and
again
we're
not
seeing
any
of
that
background
in
this
we're
just
seeing
recommendations
for
chunks
of
money
going
out
and.
E
I
can
help
with
that
councilman,
so
we
have
contracts.
Well,
we
have
contracts
with
each
of
the
organizations
and
there's
a
process
is
not
only.
We
monitor
that
that
HUD
requires
us
to
monitor
on
the
the
expenditures
when
their
expenditures,
the
pricing,
the
procurement
formalities.
So
that's
all
part
of
our
contract,
and
we
certainly
can
give
you
updates
on
those
reports,
because
we
we
provide
those
to
HUD
on
a
regular
basis
and
we
can
start
providing
on
the
council.
So.
F
E
B
E
F
Yeah
I
would
like
to
see
more
on
that,
because
this
this
is
important
money
and
it's
big
chunks
of
money
and
there's
a
lot
of
people
who
don't
get
it.
Who
want
it
and
there's.
You
know,
obviously
a
lot
of
great
work
that
can
be
done
with
these
dollars
and
it's
really
going
to
a
handful
of
people
and.
J
E
E
E
J
We
may
have
to
come
back
and
make
changes.
Okay,
second
question
I
had
is,
and
just
looking
at
our
strategic
goals
for
the
city
tied
to
this,
which
include
a
lot
of
affordable
housing
and
mobile
home
housing
and
homeless
housing.
We
don't
really
have
a
any
I
mean
we
have
one
fair
housing
project.
We
don't
have
any
of
the
anyone
applying
from
what
I
can
tell
on
this.
So
what
kind
of
outreach
are
we
doing
to
try
and
get
closer
aligned
to
the
goals?
J
Because
it
seems
over
that
at
least
my
this
is
my
third
year
doing
this.
It
tends
to
be
a
lot
of
energy
related
things
for
social
service
organizations,
which
are
all
great.
But
what
are
we
doing
to
make
sure
we're
trying
to
achieve
more
of
the
goals
here,
because
these
applications,
a
lot
of
them,
are
in
that
sort
of
same
category
and
not
hitting
any
of
the
other
goals.
Although.
E
I'm
gonna
ask
Jay
to
maybe
come
in
a
little
more
broadly,
but
but
it
but
but
generally,
but
but
generally
the
parlour
issue
is,
you
know,
we're
we're.
Barely
an
entitlement
city
is
a
smaller
City
and
our
resources,
this
roughly
three
hundred
thousand
and
then
there's
categories
of
work
and
go.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
the
pie
towards
that
kind
of
of
a
project
which
is
a
big-ticket
item.
That
being
said,
we
also
have
very
minimal
staff
that
work
on
this.
So
you
know
couldn't.
E
Could
we
do
a
better
job
at
doing
outreach
to
certain
areas?
I
think
we
probably
could
one
thing
I
would
suggest
we
have
not
had
any
council
subcommittee
really
focus
on
this
and
some
time,
and
it
may
be
time
to
revisit
that
so
that
that's
one
it's
council
subcommittee
on
this
I
think
process
going
forward
might
be
helpful
and
also
Jay
I,
don't
know
if
you
can
add
anything
more
to
the
the
outreach
effort.
E
And
and
I
would
just
know,
Dale
who
Dale
cook,
who
is
our
staff,
seem
to
be
jeepers
and
he
has
had
a
family
emergency
which
is
taking
him
out
of
the
city.
So
that's.
Why
he's
not
with
us
this
evening.
D
Right
other
than
what
I
had
previously
mentioned
on
the
outreach
beginning
with
notices
in
public
papers
of
being
distributed
throughout
the
region
and
emails
to
known
service
providers
and
affordable
housing
entities.
However,
one
thing
I
would
add
is
with
the
$300,000:
it's
not
going
to
go
very
far
with
any
type
of
new,
affordable
housing
production,
but
people
are
it
may
help,
and
we
would
definitely
look
for
those
opportunities.
G
J
You
know
yes
with
that
amount
of
money,
we're
not
going
to
build
affordable
housing,
but
right.
One
of
our
goals
is
to
support
rental
assistance
for
folks
to
keep
them
from
becoming
homeless,
and
that
is
something
folks.
We
know
there
are
organizations
that
are
doing
that
kind
of
work,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
we're
looking
at
our
goals
and
sort
of
I
do
want
to
appreciate
that
we've
really
changed
the
make
and
councils
direction.
J
Two
years
ago,
though,
we
don't
have
any
members
of
the
organizations
that
applied
board
or
staff
on
the
committee
anymore
and
I
think
really
appreciate
that.
But
if
I
look
at
the
folks
who
are
on
it,
who
all
very
much
appreciate
their
work,
we
really
don't
have
representatives
from
homeless
or
housing
related
entities
right.
So
we
have
entities,
seniors,
HIV
and
but
we
don't
have
housing
or
homeless
representatives
and
I.
J
Think
I,
don't
know
what
the
requirement
on
the
makeup
is,
but
I
think
we
should
look
at
that
moving
forward,
given
that's
also
in
the
city's
top
goals.
Right
to
increase,
resources
relate
to
homelessness
and
affordable
housing.
So
so
is
there?
Is
there
HUD
guidelines
on
who
the
representatives
are.
E
Actually
they
are,
and
this
is
why
I
think
actually
up
since
it's
been
a
while
a
council
subcommittee
on
this.
You
know,
as
we
move
in
we've
got
a
process
for
next
year,
a
review,
some
guidance
from
the
subcommittee
some
drilling
down
more
on
these
details.
I
think
might
be
helpful
here,
because
the
the
other
thing
you
mentioned
now
that
we
are
more
in
the
social
service
business.
E
I
I
want
to
thank
everybody
who
is
involved
in
this
process.
I
know
how
how
much
work
there
is
that's
involved.
I
do
have
a
question
on
one
specific
project
that
did
not
receive
funding
and
I'd
like
to
better
understand
what
that
project
was
intended
to
do
in
the
decision
not
to
fund
it,
and
that
is
the
solar
radar
speed
sign
project
could
but
I
get
a
better
understanding
as
to
what
exactly
it
was
go
intended
to
do.
G
Alright,
the
radar
speed
feedback
signs
were
intended
to
be
placed
in
locations
throughout
the
city
where
we
have
excessive
speeds.
It
was
part
of
the
traffic
calming
citywide
on
specific
corridors.
The
benefit
of
these
signs
would
have
been
to
order
a
limited
number
of
signs
but
place
the
bases
throughout
the
city,
with
a
with
a
small
traffic
cover
over
them,
so
that
they
pulled
their
place
in
the
sidewalks.
When
the
traffic
covers
in
place
the
sign
isn't
there,
you
can
move
the
sign
from
location,
location
based
on
the
need.
G
We
are
implementing
these
on
a
couple
of
corridors
now,
Farrell
being
one
of
them.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
they
just
dug
the
foundations
this
last
week,
so
they
are
going
in
place.
We
hope
to
include
these
in
some
more
traffic
calming
projects,
as
well
as
some
of
of
the
pedestrian
safety
projects
that
we're
doing
with
seabag.
I
And
as
we
move
into
the
budget
year,
I'd
like
us
to
take
a
look
at
whether
or
not
this
is
the
kind
of
project
that
we
should
be
putting
into
our
budget.
As
we
know,
we
have
traffic
fatalities
and
pedestrian
fatalities
and
things
that
will
help
slow
speeds
down
are
something
that
I
think
we
should
prioritize
in.
E
C
Thank
you,
I
echo,
some
of
my
fellow
councilmembers
questions
and
concerns
I.
Think
it's
because
this
council
likes
to
do
our
homework
and
really
get
in
the
weeds
sometimes,
and
so
we
don't
see
what
the
agencies
submitted
or
even
why
some
of
the
projects
weren't
recommended
I,
think
that
was
councilmember
Middleton's
question
of.
C
Why
wasn't
this
city
of
Palm,
Springs,
Public,
Works
in
engineering,
solar
radar,
speed,
sign
recommended
and
so
I
would
I
think
it's
a
wonderful
idea
to
have
a
subcommittee
from
Council
I
would
love
to
serve
on
that
subcommittee
going
forward,
so
we
can
kind
of
streamline
and
get
as
much
information
as
this
council
wants
to
do
that.
So
I
have
just
some
staff
questions,
or
did
you
want
to
respond
to
that.
E
C
C
Each
project
recommended
for
funding,
it
has
different
numbers
below
it
and
the
staff
report
which
you're
not
looking
at
and
it
says,
Palm
Springs
residents.
It
lists
how
many,
for
example,
the
desert,
AIDS
Project
proposal
will
serve
I,
think
it
says
1,100
Palm
Springs
residents,
and
then
it
has
an
evaluation
score
of
30
versus
some
of
the
other
ones,
have
a
low
valuation
scores
of
20
and
29,
and
so
I
don't
have
any
information
about
what
that
means.
We.
B
Look
at
several
criteria
and
applied
a
number
for
each
of
us
and
what
Dale
did
was
took
all
of
our
results
and
averaged
them
out.
So
one
of
us
may
have
actually
included
the
the
stop
signs
being
numbered
and
our
you
know
being
lit
up
and
and
not
included
ramps
based
on
the
scoring
until
they
were
averaged
together.
That's
what
you're
looking
at
so.
E
And
I
also
had
that,
as
we
have
some
new
members
on
the
council,
council
does
have
the
discretion
to
change
this
recommendation
anyway
in
and
obviously
distribute
that,
based
on
a
different.
L
When
Dale
notified
me
that
he
wasn't
going
to
be
here,
he
also
indicated
that
the
amount
of
money
that
we
had
expected
was
less
than
what
he
had
projected
and
that
that
was
the
reason.
I
think
we
had
originally
funded
all
of
the
applications,
but
I
think
that
one
fell
off
at
the
end
when
there
wasn't
as
much
money,
and
that
happened
after
we
adjourned.
L
Of
them
there
was
I
think
there
was
one
of
the
other
criteria
was
how
already
we
felt
the
job
was
to
go
to
be
launched,
and
so
that's
part
of
the
evaluation
score
that
you
look
at
if
they
weren't.
If
they
hadn't
done
the
appropriate.
You
know
specs
of
what
they
wanted
to
do
and
figure
out
approximately
what
they
were
going
to
need
and
weren't
ready
to
launch.
As
soon
as
that,
the
effective
date
was
was
to
come,
then
they
we
figured,
it
was
less
likely.
L
They
could
finish
in
the
amount
of
time,
because
I
think
they
have
to
finish
it
within
the
fiscal
year.
That's
one
of
the
requirements,
and
so,
if
they're,
not
job
ready,
shovel-ready,
whatever
you
call
it,
that's
that
was
part
of
it
and
I
many.
Some
of
these
people
are
seeking
multiple
sources
of
funding,
and
so
because
our
spot
is
pretty
small.
We
also
looked
at
that
to
make
sure
that
we
thought
that
the
project
was
viable,
given
the
fact
that
they
were
going
to
have
additional
contributors
to
their
project.
L
C
D
Well,
I've
got
a
number
of
different
levels
of
information
from
each
of
the
each
of
the
applicants,
but
generally
they
provided
descriptions
of
the
projects,
the
budgets
they
anticipated
needing
for
those
projects.
The
allocations
for
staffing,
how
the
funds
would
be
spent
and,
in
some
cases,
maps
showing
the
areas
served
as
they
do
have
to
be
in
serving
low,
moderate
income
census,
tracts.
Okay,.
C
E
E
D
E
C
But
if
you
think
that
forty
thousand
or
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
go
to
Fair
Housing
Council,
that
provides
some
assistance
to
tenants
when
that
could
go
to
actual
vouchers,
preventing
homelessness.
It
seems
like
we
need
to
do
some
more
work
on
really
our
goals
themselves
and
then
how
we're
doing
outreach
to
different
organizations
that
we
want
responding
to
these
and
that's
nothing.
I
I
know
all
of
these
organizations
who
are
on
the
list.
I
worked
with
them,
I
think
they're
all
great,
but
I
really
think
we
want
to
cast
a
really
wide
net.
F
Comment
and
in
how
we
look
at
this
in
the
future,
so
one
of
the
problems
that
I
struggle
with
and
looking
at
these
recommendations
is
on
the
sheet
I'm
looking
at
as
an
example,
I'll
just
use
desert
AIDS
project
because
they're
the
first
one
and
in
their
request,
was
for
energy
efficiency.
Led
retrofit
lighting
well
they've
been
getting
large
chunks
of
monies
for
the
last
five
years,
but
I
don't
know
what
it
was
or
so.
F
What
would
be
helpful
is
a
sentence
very
similar
to
the
description
for
what
they're
requesting
this
year
on
what
they've
gotten
in
the
past
I
think
it
would
help
us
to
know
and
balance
these
dollars
better
to
know
where
the
monies
are
going
over
the
years.
In
this
case,
it
looks
like
over
the
last
five
years,
they've
gotten
over
three
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
just
on
an
LED
lighting.
Retrofit
I.
Don't
think
that's
what
it
is.
F
I
think
that's
for
this
year,
but
it's
still
over
five
years,
they've
gotten
a
very,
very
large
chunk
of
money,
I'm,
not
second-guessing
that
all
those
dollars
went
for
good
things.
Eap
is
a
great
organization
and
does
astonishing
work
for
us,
but
it's
if
we're
being
asked
to
really
examine
these
block
grants
and
approve
them
and
balance
them.
We
don't
have
anywhere
near
the
information
we
should
have
on
these
I
agree
with
dr.
Reddy
that
a
subcommittee
will
help,
but
I
really
think
we
should
look
a
lot
closer
at
how
these
reports
are
written.
A
Yeah
I
just
like
to
add
that
I
do
remember.
Last
year
the
D
AP
was
for
the
preparations
for
Mayor
Pro
Tem.
Last
year,
the
DA
P
was
for
putting
it
for
helping
the
installation
of
emergency
diesels
to
support
their
refrigeration
systems
for
medications
in
case
of
a
power
loss.
So
so
I
mean
you're
right.
They
had
a
good
reason
last
year,
but
it's
not
documented
here.
A
You
have
to
remember
back
here
on
it
for
five
years
and
but
I
I
know
the
discussion
is
to
have
a
subcommittee,
but
even
if
we
have
a
subcommittee,
we
do
that's
only
two
people
and
I
don't
want
two
people
making
the
decisions
on
this.
We
all
need
to
make
decisions.
We
need
more
information,
for
instance
the
neuro
vitality,
Center,
I
Drive
by
there
every
day
on
the
way
to
City,
Hall
and
and
usually
a
couple
times,
and
that
place
is
busy.
I
know
it's
busy,
but
all
it
says
it's
denied.
A
E
E
A
Sure
I
was
gonna,
I
trust
their
judgment
I'm
just
saying
it
would
be
nice
going
forward
any
time
anything
is
approved
or
denied
that
we
have
a
little
bit
more
in
the
staff
report,
so
we
can
read
it
during
our
Star
Council
preparations
and
no
but
I'm,
not
questioning
the
decision.
I'm
just
saying
we
need
that
information.
We
go
ahead,
but.
B
It
is
a
good
question
and
the
issue
was
that
none
of
it
was
related
to
health.
It
was
painting
and
and
doing
some
work
that
would
make
a
hallway
between
two
units
look
better
and,
and
that
didn't
seem
to
us
to
bring
any
value
to
the
company.
There
was
no
to
the
group,
there
was
no.
We
asked
if
they
were
removing
popcorn
ceilings
that
might
be
health-related.
That
wasn't.
B
A
Like
I
said
I'm,
not
questioning
the
decision
of
the
committee
I'm
just
saying
going
forward,
we
need
to
have
a
comprehensive
report
because
we
reread
this
stuff
during
the
week
before
the
council
meeting.
That
way
we
know
coming
in
here
or
what
the
what
the
decision
was
based
on.
So
with
that,
may
we
go
to
public
hearing
after
an
hour
of
discussion.
Okay
with
that,
we
will
open
to
public
hearing
and
the
first
speaker,
speaker
is
Judi
Crispin
and
then
Daryl
Tucci
and
then
retired
city,
council,
member
Ginny,
foe,.
M
Thank
you
very
much.
I'm
judy
crescent
from
jewish
family
service
of
the
desert,
I'm
the
last
one
on
your
list.
There
we
are
requesting.
Thank
you
mayor
and
members
of
the
council.
We
are
requesting
$15,000
CDBG
funding
for
emergency
assistance
for
seniors,
which
is
part
of
our
senior
care
management
program.
Jfs
serves
about
over
600
seniors
a
year
in
our
senior
care
management
program,
which
includes
care
management
services,
emergency
assistance,
community
programs
for
seniors
for
isolate
seniors
transportation
services.
Through
our
emergency
assistance
program.
M
We
serve
about
a
hundred
and
fifty-seven
seniors
throughout
the
Coachella
Valley
for
emergency
assistance,
primarily
talking
about
seeing
your
homelessness
prevention,
we
provide
assistance
for
rental
assistance,
utilities
medications
that
they
cannot
afford
housing,
repairs,
plumbing
repairs,
air
conditioning
repairs.
The
funding
from
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
would
assist
primarily
with
rent
and
utilities
to
prevent
senior
homelessness
for
seniors.
Primarily,
so
we
are
requesting
the
$15,000
for
that.
M
What
we
do,
we
don't
provide
the
funding
directly
to
the
senior
we
we
have
the
senior
meet
with
our
case
managers
bring
in
their
bills,
bring
in
their
level
of
income,
discuss
what
other
services
they
have.
What
other
options
they
have
and
after
that
we
provide
the
funding
directly
to
the
vendor,
so
we
pay
the
apartment
manager.
We
paid
a
utility
companies,
we
pay
the
medical
supply
companies.
M
The
average
assistance
right
now
is
primarily
about
$300
is
what
we
can
afford
with
the
$15,000
that
we
would
get
from
the
city
if
approved
and
that
would
serve
about
50
seniors
about
25
were
looking
from
the
city
of
Palm,
Springs
and
25
throughout
the
Coachella
Valley,
when
we
so
far,
we've
provided
about
133
seniors
right
now,
with
emergency
assistance.
When
we
originally
applied
for
CDBG
funding,
we
were
at
109
right
now
we're
at
103.
So
133
excuse
me,
the
need
is
there.
We
continue
to
receive
requests
for
assistance
from
all
our
community
partners.
M
M
B
Good
evening
mayor
members
of
the
City
Council
I
know
you
I
know
you,
but
for
the
record
I'm
Daryl
to
cheetah
chief
development
officer
at
desert,
AIDS
Project.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
our
energy
efficiency
LED
lighting
project.
We're
very
grateful
for
the
previous
awards
that
have
funded
many
projects,
including
most
recently,
our
Emergency
Preparedness
generator
PAP
is
a
federally
qualified
health
center
serving
4,600
people,
3,000
of
whom
live
low
or
very
low
income.
The
majority
of
desert,
AIDS
projects,
clients
reside
in
Palm,
Springs
51
and
a
half
percent
to
be
exact.
B
Dep
is
located
in
census.
Tract
zero
4
for
6.02
in
distract
block
group
3
exceeds
the
HUD
requirement
of
51
percent
low
income
threshold
for
funding.
The
majority
of
daps
clients
live
with
either
HIV
or
AIDS
at
more
than
60
percent
of
Riverside
County's
identified
people
living
with
HIV
and
AIDS
live
within
a
20
mile
radius
of
our
campus.
The
intent
of
our
new
project
is
to
replace
all
368
antiquated
unhealthy
energy,
wasting
fluorescent
light
bulb
fixtures
with
energy,
efficient,
environmentally
recommended
LED
lighting
at
our
main
facility.
B
The
total
cost
at
a
project
is
a
hundred
seventy
three
thousand
plus
dollars
in
three
phases.
Cdbg
funding
for
program,
your
18/19
would
support
phase
one.
This
phase
consists
of
removing
and
replacing
2x2
outdated
fluorescent
fixtures
with
LED
fixtures
and
upgrading
all
electrical
panels
for
three
phases
to
accommodate
LED
lighting.
Our
proposed
project
is
consistent
with
and
advances
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
commitment
to
the
general
plan
to
be
an
environmental
advocate
and
a
leader
in
the
environmental
compliance
and
protection
to
conserve
electricity
and
to
promote
sustainable
development.
B
But,
lastly,
the
project
is
also
a
crucial
new
component
to
our
expansion
plan.
That's
been
recently
announced
and
reported
in
the
desert.
Sun
well
I
have
I'm
happy
to
take
questions
particularly
I'm,
happy
to
speak
to
the
transparency
questions.
Councilmember
Roberts
asked
earlier.
If
you'd
like
Thank.
A
A
H
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I
spoke
with
former
council
member
phone
and
I
advised
her
with
respect
to
certain
provisions
of
state
law,
and
my
understanding
is
that
she's
going
to
withdraw
her
request
to
speak
at
this
point
in
time
before
the
body
I
will
certainly
represent
to
the
body
that,
based
on
my
conversation
with
her,
my
understanding
is
that
any
information
the
council
needs
about.
H
A
B
A
A
K
Mayor
members
of
council,
this
is
a
request
for
historic
designation
of
the
residents
at
1323,
south
driftwood
drive.
The
nomination
was
prepared
by
the
Palm
Springs
Preservation
Foundation,
on
behalf
of
the
owners
mark
and
Jane
garrison.
The
residence
was
constructed
in
1955
for
the
George
F
Barrett
family,
the
contractor
for
the
residence
was
Jo
Pauline
and
mrs.
Barrett
is
credited
with
the
design
of
the
residents.
K
However,
it
is
associated
with
William
Holden,
the
actor
who
owned
the
residence
between
1966
and
1977,
and
hence
that's
why
it's
being
called
the
William
Holden
deep-well
residence
is
because
of
his
association
with
the
property.
This
is
the
appearance
of
the
residence
as
it
looks
today
from
the
street.
This
is
the
residence
from
the
back
yard
of
the
property,
and
then
this
just
gives
a
detail
of
the
construction
again
from
1955.
It's
a
post
and
beam
structure,
large
window
openings
very
beautifully
detailed.
K
The
one
of
the
issues
that
was
discussed
relative
to
the
property
was
the
integrity
in
terms
of
additions
to
the
residence.
You
see
the
floor
plan
of
the
residence
here.
The
areas
in
blue
were
added
by
mr.
Holden
in
1967.
He
added
on
a
garage
and
storeroom
structure
that
you
see
at
the
far
left
of
the
screen
and
then
also
added
on
to
the
breakfast
nook
there
centrally
on
the
screen.
There
was
a
renovation
that
was
done
in
2011
that
removed
some
of
the
site
wall.
K
The
garden
wall
in
front
of
the
residents
also
covered
over
some
of
the
slump
stone
on
the
exterior
of
the
residents,
replace
the
existing
sliding
glass
doors
with
pivoting
doors
and
then
also
replaced
the
front
door.
The
historic
site,
Preservation
Board,
reviewed
the
nomination
and
found
that
it
did
meet
a
number
of
the
criteria
that
we
have
in
our
code
relative
to
historic
designation.
K
Specifically,
they
found
that
it
met
criteria,
number
two
associated
with
the
life
of
a
significant
person
that
being
William
Holden
number
three
exemplifies
a
particular
period
of
local
history
and
also
construction
criteria.
Number
four
and
then,
in
addition,
they
also
found
that
it
meant
criterion
number
five
in
terms
of
being
the
work
of
a
master
builder.
They
identified
that
contractor
Jo
Pauline
has
done
a
number
of
residences
there
in
the
deep-well
area,
as
well
as
in
the
Mesa,
and
found
that
the
application
met
that
criteria.
K
K
Again,
as
I
had
pointed
out,
the
garden
wall
there
in
the
front
and
the
illustration,
the
picture
there
at
the
top
of
the
screen
is
prior
to
2011
I
believe
that
photo
was
from
2007
and
then
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen
is,
as
it
appears
today,
after
the
renovation
in
2011.
So
again
it
lost
the
garden
wall
there
in
front.
It
was
replaced
with
a
different
type
of
wall.
Some
of
the
slump
stone
on
the
exterior
was
covered
over
with
stucco
and
then
the
replacement
of
doors
and
windows.
K
It
does
specifically
cite
that
if
the
residents
is
restored,
they
are
particularly
looking
for
for
things
to
be
implemented
back,
and
that
would
be,
as
I've
mentioned,
the
changes
to
the
front
of
the
residents
so
again
that
language
is
in
the
approving
resolution.
For
you
with
that,
the
Historic
Site
Preservation
Board
has
recommended
approval
of
the
class
1
designation.
We
do
have
MS
Barbara
Marshall
here
who,
as
the
applicant,
will
speak
and
answer
any
questions
you
might
have,
and
then
the
property
owners
are
also
here
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
F
F
C
Surprise,
you
know
so
I
saw
some
discussion
about
including
it's
a
it
was
originally
for
Lots
right
and
so
I
saw
the
discussion
about
including
all
four
Lots
in
the
historic
designation
or
just
the
I
think
two
Lots
that
the
structure
is
on
which
is
included
in
this
resolution.
Is
it
all
four
Lots
and
and
what?
K
I
This
may
be
a
question
for
Miss
Marshall,
but
I'm,
looking
at
the
roof
line
of
the
original
residence
and
as
it
is
now,
and
it
appears
that
the
roof
line
is
significantly
different
from
one
version
to
another.
That
strikes
me
is
something
that
will
be
extremely
difficult
to
to
rehabilitate
to
the
original
design
am
I
miss
reading
this
or
I.
K
Believe
that
just
the
fascia
piece
was
removed
in
the
renovations
that
were
done
in
2011.
If
you
can
see,
the
post
and
beam
structure
is
still
evident,
both
in
the
top
picture
and
in
the
lower
picture,
and
what
I
believe
is
missing
is
just
the
fascia
panel
on
the
end
of
those
beams,
but
I'll
ask
ms
Marshall
to
address
that
in
her
presentation.
Thank
you.
A
Any
other
questions
of
staff.
Before
we
open
public
hearings,
seeing
none,
we
will
open
the
floor
to
public
comment.
The
applicant
has
up
to
five
minutes
to
present
their
case
and,
if
requested,
will
have
a
two
minutes
available
for
rebuttal
at
the
end,
so
the
applicant
like
to
come
forward
can
even
be
Miss
Marshall.
M
Okay,
good
evening,
I'm
Barbara
Marshall
from
the
Palm
Springs
Preservation
Foundation,
the
story
of
the
Holden
deep
well
residents
is
a
fascinating
one
and
we
learned
much
about
the
homes
designer
Joe
Pauling,
a
very
colorful
local
builder
Pauling
made
a
name
for
himself.
The
year
after
building
the
Holden
residence
160,
la
presse
people
and
movie
Queen
Jane
Russell
were
flown
down
to
Palm
Springs
to
see
his
night
56
House
of
tomorrow.
The
following
summer,
the
Desert
Sun
reported
that
thousands
of
people
toured
Pauling's
project
I'd
like
to
address
a
few
items
in
the
staff
report.
M
The
report
mentions
a
new
pool.
However,
the
pool
is
from
1955,
as
should
be
expected,
the
pool
was
resurfaced
and
at
the
same
time
remodeled
to
add
stairs
and
a
tanning
shelf.
However,
it
retains
its
location
and
it's
rectangular
shape.
The
staff
report
also
mensen
mentions
the
current
color
palette
as
a
negative.
M
Yes,
darker
paint
colors
were
more
predominant
in
the
original
paint
scheme,
but
we
all
know
that
a
layer
of
paint
is
as
easily
remedied
as
another
layer
of
paint
actor
William
Holden's
additions
to
the
floor
plan
more
than
50
years
ago
are
also
cited
as
a
shortcoming
in
staffs
discussion
of
integrity.
These
changes
were
not
only
sympathetic
to
the
design,
as
has
been
the
opinion
of
multiple
architects,
but
do
much
to
strengthen
Holden's
association
with
the
house.
M
We
staff
and
the
HSP
be
all
agree
that
Holden's
association
with
the
house
rises
to
the
level
of
meeting
criterion
2
of
the
class
1
designation.
Since
the
changes
were
made
during
the
residences
period
of
significance,
they
would
likely
not
be
allowed
to
be
reversed,
so
citing
them
as
a
negative
seems
counterintuitive.
M
One
of
the
reasons
for
pursuing
this
designation
is
to
help
ensure
this
impressive
lot
remains
intact
and
does
not
fall
victim
to
future
speculative
development.
I'm
sure
you'd
agree
that
a
stunning
residence
should
stay
connected
to
its
stunning
sight.
This
residence
has
garnered
much
attention
since
it
was
built
in
1955,
first
appearing
in
a
1956
article
in
Palm,
Springs,
villager
magazine
and
then
again
many
times
throughout
the
late
50s
and
early
60s
on
a
1970s
postcard
and
in
California
design
magazine
just
a
few
years
ago.
M
During
modernism
week,
the
Holden
residence
was
a
feature
twice
by
Kay
Mir
News
as
an
example
of
the
modernist
architecture,
for
which
Palm
Springs
is
so
well
known.
In
short,
this
residence
has
been
a
good
advance
ambassador
for
Palm
Springs.
While
we
appreciate
councilmember
Kors
and
mayor
moons.
Recent
positive
comments
about
PSPs
nominations:
many
folks,
collaborate
in
these
efforts,
architect,
Jim
Harlan
and
preservation,
architect,
Susan
Sequoia,
Jenson,
kindly
reviewed
this
nomination
and
gave
us
feedback
architect.
M
Hugh
Kaptur
graciously
agreed
to
be
interviewed
and
answered
questions
about
builder
Joe
Pauling,
the
Historical
Society
staff
provided
invaluable
assistance
and
access
to
historical
records.
Orange
Coast
title
donated
their
services
because
they
believe
these
nominations
serve
an
important
community
cause
and
the
city's
Planning
and
building
departments
are
always
helpful.
In
short,
many
are
involved
in
bringing
these
nominations
before
you.
We
saw
the
council
struggle
last
November
with
the
Crocker
Bank
designation,
because
a
city
paid
expert
reported
the
building
was
so
profoundly
compromised.
M
That
designation
was
inappropriate,
but
councilmember
Roberts
eloquently
explained
how
these
designations
serve
the
community
in
many
ways
and
he's
right.
There
is
virtually
no
downside
to
historic,
designation
it
stirs
reinvestment,
gives
the
city
input
into
future
changes
and
recognizes
the
efforts
of
those
who
created
our
city's
built
environment,
while
the
Holden
residents
certainly
does
not
have
the
integrity
issue
teeth
of
the
Crocker
Bank
building,
the
principle
still
applies.
The
garrisons
will
invest
in
and
improve
this
property
granting
historic
classes.
M
One
designation
to
the
Holden
deep-well
residence
would
further
the
purpose
of
historic
preservation,
to
quote
the
staff
report
by
ensuring
long-term,
proper
care
and
maintenance
of
a
unique
custom
built
home
from
the
mid-century
air
that
was
owned
by
a
person
of
significance
and
helps,
educate
and
inform
the
citizens
about
this
important
period
in
the
development
of
Palm
Springs.
Thank
you
to
answer
the
question
about
the
roofline.
It's
just
a
fascia
and
the
difference
in
the
angles
of
the
photograph.
The
dark
pane
against
the
white
paint,
the
roofline
is
the
original
roofline.
A
Thank
you,
miss
Marshall,
oh
by
the
way,
what
the
system
weight
is
now,
if
someone's
doing
five
minutes,
I
don't
have
a
five
minute
button.
I
have
to
do
a
two
minute
button,
a
three
minute
button.
So
if
someone's
doing
a
public
hearing-
and
you
hear
the
the
chime
go
off
at
two
minutes,
keep
going
because
I
want
to
give
you
another
three
minutes.
Oh
okay,
okay,
next
speaker
is
to
jane
garrison.
We
have
two
minutes.
M
Ere,
council
members,
jane
garrison,
my
husband
and
I
are
the
now
owners
of
this
home
and
I
just
want
to
address
a
few
issues.
Councilman
Roberts.
We
did
not
see
the
home
prior
to
the
renovations,
but
from
every
person
we
spoke
to
in
the
neighborhood
Realtors
architects
who
went
through,
they
said
their
biggest
concern
when
the
previous
owners
bought
the
home
was
that
they
were
going
to
knock
it
down
and
build
four
homes
on
that
beautiful
property.
M
So,
although
the
finishes
are
different,
the
architecture
and
was
actually
returned
to
its
original
footprint,
all
the
posts
and
beams
are
original.
The
tongue-and-groove
ceilings
are
original.
The
fireplace
is
original.
The
pool
is
original,
so
I'm
incredibly
grateful
that
they
didn't
knock
it
down,
because
it
wasn't
very
big
disrepair.
We
support
this
in
actually
in
buying
this
home.
My
husband
and
I
made
three
commitments.
Number
one
was
that
we
will
make
sure
that
this
house
is
always
maintained
and
not
just
the
home,
but
the
land,
our
biggest
fear,
is
when
we're
all
long
gone.
M
We
already
opened
it
up
for
the
retro
martini
party,
which
had
almost
400
people,
and
last
week
we
were
approached
about
hosting
the
HRC
garden
party
in
in
November,
which
we
are
thrilled
to
agree
to
host
that
will
host
that
as
well.
So
this
property,
we
feel,
needs
to
be
protected.
It
needs
to
make
sure
that
in
the
future,
no
one
knocks
it
down.
No
one
changes
it
in
the
wrong
way.
We
will
maintain
it
and
we
want
to
share
it
with
our
community.
So,
for
all
those
reasons
we
are
in
support
of
this
designation.
A
F
I'm
very
very
grateful
that
the
property
wasn't
raised
in
that
and
that
there
and
they
ensure
that
the
property
is
gonna
stay
intact.
This
is
a
very
or
once
was
especially
a
very,
very
beautiful
home
and
very
important
architectural
II
I'm
I
am
disappointed
that
when
the
original
restoration
was
done
on
this
house,
they
weren't
more
sensitive
to
the
the
elements
that
did
exist.
I
did
see
this
house
beforehand
and
it
certainly
was
and
in
in
a
state
of
decay
but
I.
F
Frankly
and
again,
I
don't
mean
to
insult
the
house,
because
I
think
it's
beautiful
today
as
it
was
then,
but
it's
virtually
a
new
house.
It
could
have
been
built
yesterday,
and
so
you
know,
I
will
I
will
support
the
designation,
but
I
have
to
say
in
this
case
it's
a
little
bit
of
a
stretch.
For
me.
F
You
know
these
designations
are
great
on
many
levels,
but
they're
especially
great
for
homeowners,
because
it
gives
them
the
opportunity
to
file
for
the
mills
Act,
which
is
significant
cost
savings
and
taxes
and
in
the
mills
act
is
designed
specifically
for
people
to
have
the
money
to
maintain
their
older
homes.
In
this
case,
this
is
no
longer
an
older
home.
F
This
house
has
clearly
been
gutted
to
its
studs
and
rebuilt
and
will
probably
be
in
great
can
great
condition
for
the
next
50
years,
but
you
know
on
the
fact
alone
that
the
the
parcels
were
kept
intact
and
they
were
combined,
and
you
know
some
of
the
you
know.
The
original
post-and-beam
construction
is
still
in
place.
I'm
gonna
support
it.
F
But
I
did
want
to
say
that
I'm
a
little
disappointed
in
the
level
of
modernization
that
occurred
here
and
unless
I
think
walking
through
this
house.
Unless
you
were
told
that
this
house
had
a
history,
you
really
wouldn't
know
it
could
be
a
magnificent
new
house
and
architectural
II.
That's
a
nod
to
the
original
architect.
It's
just
too
bad.
You
can't
really
see
in
any
of
the
finishes
or
what
originally
existed
here,
but
with
that
I
will
still
gladly
support
this
designation.
A
I'd
like
to
comment,
you
know
we
talked
tonight
about
modernism
week
and
I
know:
I
I
was
able
to
go
to
the
retro
martini
party
for
this,
but
only
because
I
got
online
and
within
the
first
few
minutes,
I
bought
a
ticket
before
it
sold
out.
I
mean
this
is
the
kind
of
home
that
people
come
from
all
over
the
world
to
see
because
it
is
so
reminiscent
of
what
was
our
mid-century
architecture
and
I
granted
it.
A
A
It
looked
to
me
like
and
looking
at
the
photos,
it
looks
like
the
doors
are
in
the
same
place
that
just
put
these
more
modern
type
of
swivel
doors
instead
of
the
old-fashioned
sliding
doors
and
there
probably
more
efficient
than
those
1963
doors
yeah
and
also
as
I
was
reading
this
you
know
things
I
can
see
where
the
things
that
nang'k
interpreting
the
things
like
the
landscaping
it
can
be
changed.
The
water
feature
at
the
front
door
and
the
garage
door
carport,
which
was
done
in
nineteen.
A
You
know
done
fifty
five
years
ago,
wall,
sconce
lighting
fixtures,
the
only
thing
I
can
see,
which
could
be
a
little
difficult
to
restore,
is
the
smooth
stucco
finish
but
I,
don't
think
that's
a
huge
issue,
and
so
I
really
strongly
support
this.
The
house
is
stunning
and
it
is
a
beautiful
example
of
the
style
of
the
homes
that
made
Palm,
Springs
famous
and
there's
only
two
of
these
houses
remaining
and
the
deep
wall
neighborhood
and
the
other
one
is
also
historic.
C
You
mr.
mayor
I
also
have
a
hard
time
with
this.
One
I
actually
was
able
I
live
near
this
home
for
a
few
years,
and
I
walked
my
dog
by
it
every
single
day,
I
think
it's
a
beautiful
home,
it's
one
of
my
favorite,
if
not
my
favorite
home
in
Palm
Springs,
it's
very
beautiful
I
watched
I
walk
by
it
every
day
when
it
was
being
gutted,
so
I
saw
it
before
I
saw
the
huge
amount
of
things
that
were
changed
and
that
were
taken
out.
C
I
saw
the
fix
the
pool
fixture
that
was
added
in
the
in
the
front
there
and
and
I
watched
it
now.
I
think
it's
a
beautiful,
beautiful
building
I
think
it
might
be
architectural,
a
significant
and
historic,
also
in
50
years
as
part
of
our
revitalization
of
the
mid-century
modern,
with
modern
elements
that
we
see
happening
a
lot
of
homes
in
deep
well.
Are
that
way
and
I've
watched
that
change?
C
It's
a
beautiful
lot
and
I
really
was
moved
by
a
lot
of
the
owners,
comments
about
retaining
the
property
and
retaining
it
all
together
there
and
how
important
that
is
for
community.
So
I'm,
not
an
architectural
historian,
I
defer
to
my
council
members
and
the
staff
report
and
a
lot
of
the
really
hard
work
that
went
into
this,
but
but
I
do
have
some
concerns
about
looking
at
the
different
elements.
C
I
I
share
some
of
the
concerns
of
my
colleagues
but
I'm
going
to
support
this
designation.
This
home
is
absolutely
stunningly
beautiful.
It
is
incredibly
important
that
we
preserve
the
property
intact
and
I
know
it
is
not
a
criteria
for
designation,
but
I
will
certainly
say.
I
deeply
appreciate
the
commitment
of
mr.
and
mrs.
mrs.
garrison
to
the
community
and
the
manner
in
which
they
have
opened
this
home
up
to
nonprofit
organizations
in
our
city
and
on
a
bias.
Note
I'm
really
proud
that
it's
in
the
South
End
of
Palm
Springs.
J
A
A
See:
okay,
Rosie
on
V
LLC
for
a
planned
development,
district
application,
a
minor
architectural
application,
conditional
use,
permit
applications
and
a
variance
application,
proposing
renovations
and
dishes
to
an
existing,
sixty
two
room
hotel
to
add
an
outdoor
music
venue.
An
outdoor
restaurant
use,
an
outdoor
cocktail,
lounge
juice
and
support
spaces
at
the
monroe
hotel,
also
known
as
infusion
beach
hotel
located
at
1,900
North
Palm
Canyon
Drive
case
5.1
409.
Okay,
do
we
have
a
staff
report,
please?
Mr.
K
Mayor
members
of
council,
you
have
quite
an
extensive
backup
materials
in
your
pack
at
400
pages
plus,
so
I
will
just
go
through
a
presentation.
To
summarize,
the
applications
what's
being
asked
by
the
applicant
I
also
want
to
go
through
the
environmental
review
that
we
did
and
then
talk
about
the
recommendations
of
the
Planning
Commission
relative
to
this
application.
First
of
all,
in
terms
of
what
the
applicant
is
requesting,
they
are
asking
to
add
the
following
uses
to
the
existing
Monroe
Hotel
property.
There
will
be
no
changes
to
the
hotel
itself.
K
It
will
still
remain
as
a
hotel
with
62
rooms,
but
they
would
like
to
add
a
restaurant
use.
This
will
be
an
outdoor
restaurant
also
they
are
proposing
bar
service.
So
in
our
zoning
code
that's
called
a
cocktail.
Lounge,
that's
another
one
of
the
uses
that
they've
proposed
to
add,
and
then
with
that
in
the
outdoor
area,
they
would
like
to
have
music,
and
these
are
the
hours
that
they're
proposing
to
do
it
and
the
types
of
music
from
Monday
to
Thursday,
until
12:00
a.m.
they're
proposing
to
have
ambient
music
and
by
ambient.
K
What
that
means
is
its
background
music,
so
that
you
and
I
could
have
a
conversation
in
the
area
and
be
able
to
hear
each
other.
While
there
is
background
music
on
Friday
through
Sunday
from
1
p.m.
until
10
p.m.
they're
asking
to
have
amplified
music
and
then
after
10
p.m.
Friday
through
Sunday,
it
would
go
back
to
being
ambient
music
until
2.
A
one
of
the
things
that
I
want
to
point
out
is
this.
Application
does
not
request.
Nor
are
we
asking
to
modify
the
city's
noise
ordinance.
K
They
will
still
be
subject
to
the
noise
ordinance
at
the
perimeter
of
their
property
and
I'll.
Go
into
a
little
bit
more
detail
on
that
as
we
get
into
the
environmental
factors
that
we've
analyzed
in
terms
of
the
applications.
There's
four
applications
as
Sodhi
associated
with
this
request
number
one
is:
they
need
a
conditional
use
permit
for
the
restaurant,
the
cocktail
lounge
and
the
outdoor
music.
Secondly,
they
need
a
minor
architectural
application
for
the
new
structures
that
they're
proposing.
K
Third,
they
need
a
variance
for
the
location
of
their
offsite
parking
lot
to
accommodate
the
additional
use
here
on
the
property
they
need
to
provide
additional
parking
spaces.
The
lot
that
they've
located
is
at
the
Dinks
property,
which
is
at
the
corner
of
North,
Indian,
Canyon
and
via
escuela.
The
code
requires
offsite
parking
to
be
within
300
feet
of
the
site
that
it
serves.
This
site
is
360
feet
away,
and
so,
consequently,
a
variance
is
needed.
K
Finally,
they're
requesting
approval
of
a
planned
development
district
for
certain
waivers
that
they're
seeking
from
development
standards,
and
those
waivers
include
the
following
number
one:
they're
requesting
a
reduction
in
the
side
yard
setback
on
the
south
side
of
the
property
for
the
kitchen
building
and
for
the
cabanas
that
will
be
adjacent
to
the
pool
area
for
a
hotel
use
in
a
c1
zoning
district.
It
requires
a
10-foot
side,
yard
setback,
they're,
proposing
to
locate
those
buildings
directly
on
the
property
line.
Secondly,
they're
requesting
a
reduction
in
the
open
space.
K
The
drawing
on
the
left
is
the
existing
condition,
showing
the
hotel
buildings,
the
parking
lot
and
the
swimming
pool
area,
and
then
on
the
right.
I've
indicated
the
new
buildings
and
changes
to
the
site
plan,
you'll
notice,
the
new
kitchen
building
located
to
the
far
right,
the
outdoor
bar
area,
the
cabanas
that
are
located
along
the
property
line
and
then
the
new
wall
at
the
front
of
the
property
and
then
also
they
have
a
raised
platform
or
staged
area
there
at
the
front
of
the
property
facing
north
palm
Canyon.
K
These
are
the
illustrations
of
the
exterior.
This
is
the
perimeter
wall
on
North,
Palm
Canyon,
the
wall
details
as
well
as
the
buildings
that
they're
proposing
interior
to
the
site
have
been
reviewed
by
the
AAC
and
the
Planning
Commission.
A
lot
of
concern
was
paid
to
the
details
and
materials
of
the
exterior
wall.
K
This
is
a
view
looking
towards
the
west
of
the
pool
area
showing
the
cabanas
there
on
the
left
and
the
improvements
to
the
pool
area.
This
is
a
view
looking
back
to
the
east,
the
kitchen
building
will
be
hidden
more
or
less
behind
a
ficus
screen.
You
see
the
pool
area
with
tables
there
to
the
left
that
will
provide
the
restaurant
service
or
the
dining
area
for
the
restaurant
in
terms
of
the
off-site
parking
lot.
K
K
Let
me
go
briefly
into
the
environmental
analysis
that
was
done
because
of
the
potential
for
impacts
to
not
only
traffic
but
also
noise.
From
the
outdoor
sound
system,
we
had
a
consultant
engaged
to
analyze
those
impacts.
There
are
two
primary
mitigation
measures
which
are
included
in
the
conditions
of
approval.
From
that
environmental
analysis
number
one.
There
needs
to
be
a
long-term
lease
for
the
parking.
That
is
because
we
are
adding
additional
uses
to
the
Monroe
Hotel
property,
and
so
we
need
to
guarantee
that
there
is
parking
available
to
serve
those
additional
uses.
K
The
applicant
has
provided
us
with
a
10-year
lease
that
meets
our
qualifications
for
a
long
term
lease
and
so
that
guarantees
that
we
will
have
that
in
place.
Secondly,
in
terms
of
the
outdoor
music,
there
are
mitigation
measures
relative
to
that
it
requires
that
a
long-term
noise
monitoring
system
be
provided
on-site.
They
also
have
an
option
of
having
a
sound
limiter
on
the
system
itself,
so
that
would
keep
it
within
the
city's
noise
ordinance.
So
the
mitigation
measures
allows
one
or
the
other.
K
When
the
Planning
Commission
reviewed
this,
they
were
very
concerned
about
the
impact
of
the
outdoor
music
on
adjacent
residence.
Looking
at
the
nearest
residence
to
the
site,
we
have
the
condominiums
that
are
located
on
North
Palm
Canyon
at
tangerine
court.
Those
are
approximately
three
hundred
and
fifty
feet
away
from
the
property.
We
also
have
the
new
condominiums
that
are
being
developed
near
the
Riviera
64
at
the
Riv.
Those
are
approximately
270
feet,
75
feet
away
from
the
property
going
just
a
little
bit
further
out.
K
We
have
single-family
residences
at
capture
court
off
of
this
Ticino
that
are
about
650
feet
away.
We
also
have
the
Indian
Canyon
Gardens
condominiums
at
North,
Indian,
Canyon
and
via
escuela,
that
are
about
600
feet
away.
As
you
get
a
little
bit
further
out
700
feet
away.
You
encounter
more
residential
units
there.
So
again,
Planning
Commission
was
concerned
with
those
impacts,
and
that
was
a
focus
of
the
many
meetings
that
they
had
on
this
project.
K
In
total,
the
Planning
Commission
held
four
public
hearings
on
this
matter,
going
in-depth
on
the
details
of
the
impacts,
including
one
study
session
I'd
like
to
discuss
some
of
the
key
added
conditions.
There
was
quite
a
list
of
conditions
that
the
Planning
Commission
added,
but
I'm,
just
going
to
focus
on
some
of
the
key
conditions
relative
to
the
impacts
number
one.
K
They
limited
the
capacity
of
the
outdoor
uses
there
at
the
Monroe
hotel
property
so
that
there
are
enough
parking
spaces
both
on
the
hotel
property
and
with
the
valet
parking
at
the
dink
site
to
accommodate
not
only
the
added
uses
at
the
hotel,
but
also
retention,
retention
of
the
dinks
building
as
well.
So
we
can
accommodate
uses
at
Dinks
in
addition
to
the
additional
uses
at
the
hotel
with
a
valet
parking
plan
for
both,
but
we
do
need
to
limit
the
capacity
on
the
Munro
property
to
210
patrons
total.
K
There
were
many
different
things
discussed
relative
to
public
benefit,
I'll
skip
to
the
summary
of
that
and
that's
the
Planning
Commission
recommendation
that
the
applicant
donate
50
thousand
to
the
city's
sidewalk
gap
infill
project
in
order
to
do
pedestrian
improvements
geared
towards
pedestrian
safety
in
the
immediate
area
of
the
property.
The
applicant
has
submitted
a
letter
to
you,
which
is
the
very
back
of
your
400
page
backup
materials
that
they
have
issues
that
they
want
to
address.
K
The
council,
on
relative
to
two
of
those
conditions
that
the
Planning
Commission
has
imposed,
one
is
relative
to
the
public
benefit
and
then
the
other
is
relative
to
the
conditions
about
the
outdoor
music
system.
With
that,
that
concludes
my
presentation
to
you.
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have.
The
applicant
is
also
here
to
address
your
questions
as
well.
Mm-Hmm.
F
F
K
Sorry,
after
ten
years,
what
we
would
need
to
do
is
read
the
conditional
use
permits
that
they
have
been
granted.
So
if
there
is
not
parking
to
serve
those
additional
uses
on
the
property,
we
would
either
have
to
terminate
the
conditional
use
permits
or
the
applicant
would
need
to
seek
additional
offsite
parking
to
satisfy
those
uses.
So
that's
what
would
happen
when
the
lease
expires
in
ten
years.
If
the
lease
is
extended,
then
obviously
we
can
continue
to
extend
the
conditional
use
permits,
but
otherwise
we
would
need
to
terminate
those
or
revoke
them.
So.
F
B
F
E
F
And
thank
you.
Dr.
Reddy
I
recognize
that
we
do
this
sort
of
thing,
but
Dinks
is
not
a
church.
You
know
a
church
is
not
going
to
be
having
you
know
the
potential
of
being
a
major
restaurant
or
discotheque
at
night.
You
know,
basically,
most
churches
are,
you
know
not
going
to
have
that
kind
of
use
or
that
kind
of
or
any
kind
of
a
use
that's
going
to
require.
You
know
consistent
large
parking
requirements,
so
a
church
would
seem
a
perfect
use,
particularly
for
nighttime
uses
for
additional
parking
I'm
a
little
worried
about
dings.
F
It's
I
think
it's
not
if
it's
when
Dinks
reopens
as
a
new
place,
so
I
really
do
have
a
lot
of
concerns
about
this
parking
the
same
times.
I
don't
want
to
kill
the
concept.
I
just
have
real
concerns
there.
I
don't
have
problems
with
the
side
yard
issue,
because
it's
I
was
originally
worried
about
the
smells
and
sounds
coming
from
the
kitchens,
but
being
that
that
all
just
backs
up
to
the
Farr
and
parking
lot
of
Billy
reads:
I,
don't
see
a
problem
there.
F
F
What
was
the
restaurant
called
that
was
shut
down
the
Hacienda,
the
Hacienda
and
I?
Remember
that,
in
order
to
approve
the
haciendas
sound
system,
we
had
it
come
back
to
the
Planning
Commission
and
there
were
mixed
results
with
that
and
that
we
tried.
We
thought
we
tried
everything
but
I
remember
when
it
did
come
back
there
were.
There
were
complaints
that
came
back
with
it.
So
I
have
some
real
concern
about
sound,
but
maybe
it's
covered
in
the
monitoring
and
maybe
it's
covered
in
coming
back
I.
F
What
I
guess
what
I'm
most
concerned
about
here
and
I'm
looking
for
answers
on
the
long-term
this-this-this
parking
and
the
sound
issues
and
I'm
not
worried
about
him,
now
I'm
worried
about
him
down
the
line
years
from
now,
when
everybody's
forgotten
about
this
meeting
and
forgotten
about
the
rules
that
we
put
in
place,
what
will
occur
there
and
how
will
we
really
be
able
to
monitor
it
10
years
from
now
and
make
sure
that
we
haven't
created
a
noise
disaster?
Andrea
I'm
not
worried
about
their
day-to-day
noisy
there
I'm
not
worried
about
their
day-to-day
music.
F
What
I'm
worried
about
is,
we
are
a
real
party
town
and
you
know
now
all
we
have
so
many
events
coming
to
town
and
these
hotels
are
packed
and
we
have
white
party
and
Dinah
and
all
of
these
things,
where
these
hotels
start
rocking
and
I
know
the
Riviera
can
be
exceptionally
loud
because
I
live
close
to
it
and
you
can
feel
the
vibration
in
the
streets
and
I
know
they're
in
all
sorts
of
violation.
But
I
just
doesn't
seem
like
a
lot
happens
about
it.
K
Mayor
pro-tem,
we
shared
those
same
concerns
in
terms
of
the
off-site
parking
when
you
expand
uses
on
a
property
without
having
the
parking
available
there
on
the
property,
it's
always
a
concern,
and
so
again
we
hope
that,
through
the
conditions
that
we've
applied
to
this
project,
that
will
help
to
address
that
I
forgot
to
mention.
In
terms
of
the
concerns
about
noise.
We
do
have
the
city's
sequa
consultant
here,
who
can
address
the
mitigation
measures
and
would
also
be
able
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have
about
those
mitigation
measures
and
the
noise.
Thank.
A
A
Gonna
do
what
you
want
to
do
anyway,
I'm
just
saying
this
portion
is
supposed
to
be
for
questions
of
staff
and
then
after
we
hear
the
comments
of
the
applicant
and
the
public,
then
I
think
that's
a
good
time
for
us
to
express
our
comments
and
concerns
I'm
joking,
but
okay,
councilmember
Coors
great.
Thank
you.
J
Two
areas
of
questions,
one
on
parking
and
wanting
something
else
so
on
parking
and
I
saw
in
the
staff
report
that
it's
believed
that
there's
enough
parking
for
both
this
project
with
its
new
uses
and
dinks.
If
dinks
were
to
reopen,
if
you
just
explain
for
both
us
but
the
public,
how
we
calculate
the
number
of
parking
spots
that
are
needed
for
these
uses
and
when
the
last
time
we
did
that
calculation.
K
Yes,
absolutely
I'll
go
to
that
on
page
9
of
your
backup
materials
in
the
staff
report.
We
do
have
a
table
with
the
parking
calculations
they're
going
through
what
parking
is
required
for
the
hotel
use
for
the
62
room.
Hotel
59
parking
spaces
are
required
which
are
available
on
the
immediate
property
for
the
addition
of
the
restaurant
and
the
cocktail
lounge
use
based
on
the
Planning
Commission,
limiting
the
occupancy
to
210
persons.
K
We
have
a
ratio
of
1
parking
space
for
every
3
seats,
and
so
that's
how
the
parking
is
calculated
for
that,
so
that
results
in
a
requirement
for
70
parking
spaces
for
the
restaurant
and
cocktail
lounge
use,
then
in
the
dinks
building.
It's
based
on
the
square
footage
that's
available
for
the
public
as
a
restaurant
use,
and
so
that
would
require
69
spaces.
If
you
add
all
of
that
up,
that
comes
to
a
total
of
198
spaces
with
the
valet
parking
plan,
I
believe
that
there's
a
total
of
217
spaces
available.
K
So
that
gives
us
just
a
little
bit
of
a
cushion.
So
if
we
need
additional
spaces
for
employees
or
any
other
thing
available
there
on
the
site,
that
we've
got
a
little
bit
of
a
cushion
there
in
terms
of
the
total
number
spaces.
But
again
it
does
have
to
be
all
valet
parking
because
there
are
tandem
spaces.
K
J
J
My
understanding
was
a
Planning
Commission,
initially
wanted
to
put
$50,000
into
an
affordable
housing
fund,
but
at
the
time
staff
was
unaware
if
we
hadn't
account
for
that
and
since
that
time
were
spoken
to
the
city
manager
and
City
Attorney,
who
said
we
actually
can
do.
That
is
that
I
just
want
to
confirm
that
yes,
okay
and
then
we
can
discuss
that
when
the
time
comes.
Thank
you.
That's.
I
Flynn
I
know
there
were
a
number
of
meetings
that
the
Planning
Commission
had
on
this
project
and
you
did
a
very
nice
job
of
summarizing
the
conclusions
of
the
Planning
Commission.
Could
you
elaborate
a
little
bit
on
what
the
original
requests
were
to
the
Planning
Commission
and
in
terms
of
number
of
people
who
would
be
occupying
parking
plans
and
and
how
they
came
to
the
conclusions
that
that
they
came
to.
K
I'm
going
to
apologize
because
the
application
has
changed
a
number
of
times,
since
it
was
originally
submitted
to
staff
back
in
early
2017
I
believe
when
it
first
came,
and
this
was
before
the
Planning
Commission
saw.
It
I
believe
that
they
were
questioning
to
have
up
to
800
people
there
for
special
events
at
the
property.
K
It
was
cut
back
once
it
got
through
the
architectural
Advisory
Committee
and
made
its
way
to
Planning,
Commission
and
I
can't
remember
what
the
number
was
that
Planning
Commission
originally
saw,
but
again,
based
on
the
number
of
available
spaces.
Planning
Commission
made
the
condition
that
it
be
limited
to
210
patrons
because
we
could
park
that,
and
so
they
had
requested
more,
but
the
Planning
Commission
did
cut
that
back.
Thank.
I
C
Thank
you.
The
major
question
that
I
have
is
that
my
understanding
of
the
staff
report
was
that
the
applicant
could
have
for
the
noise
attenuation
measures
so
I'm,
looking
at
page
48
of
the
staff
report,
and
this
is
for
the
conditions
of
approval
and
exhibit
a
and
so
it
says
you
know,
number
16
and
and
then
a
install
a
long
term
noise
monitoring
system
and
then
at
B
on
page
49.
C
It
says,
in
addition
to
the
permanent
noise
monitoring
solution,
a
sound
level
limiter,
but
my
understanding
from
the
staff
report
that
that
was
an
either/or
situation.
Then
I
made
it
to
page
420
with
the
applicant
and
they
also
asked
for
the
applicants
letter,
my
goodness
I
made
it
all
that
way
and
they
were
asking
relief.
So
can
you
explain
all
the
different
levels
of
mitigation
for
noise
and
what
the
Planning
Commission's
recommendation
was
on
that
certainly.
K
In
terms
of
the
mitigation
measures
that
were
prepared
by
the
city's
consultant,
it
was
an
either-or
situation
and
the
mitigation
measures
are
on
page
101
of
your
backup
materials
and
it
says,
install
a
long-term
noise
monitoring
station
that
was
option
a
and
then
option
B
says
as
an
alternative
to
a
permanent
noise
monitoring
solution.
A
sound
level
limiter
shall
be
installed
so
in
the
mitigation
measures.
It
was
an
either-or,
however,
because
the
Planning
Commission
was
so
concerned
about
the
impacts
to
adjacent
residential
properties.
K
They
went
for
both
they
want
to
see
both
of
those
in
place.
So
to
use
a
metaphor,
this
is
the
belt-and-suspenders
approach
that
they
want
to
see
both
of
those
added
to
the
conditions
of
approval.
Now
the
Planning
Commission
went
one
step
further
and
because
of
their
concerns
about
base,
they
said
no
subwoofers.
So
that's
in
addition
to
the
mitigation
measures.
What.
C
K
Have
not
been
as
stringent
as
we
have
been
in
this
case
because
of
complaints
that
we've
had
on
previous
properties
about
the
impacts
of
noise.
We
actually
did
the
environmental
analysis
here
to
develop
mitigation
measures,
that's
something
that
we
didn't
have
in
place
on
the
Hacienda,
for
example,
when
it
was
in
operation
other
properties.
Again,
we've
placed
certain
conditions
that
they
have
to
adhere
to
the
city's
noise
ordinance,
but
we
haven't
had
the
strength
of
the
mitigation
measures
that
we
have
proposed
for
this
application.
I
guess.
C
C
Thank
you
and
then
I
just
have
a
few
other
questions
for
you.
If
people
do
you
street
parking
I
noticed
that
30-somethings
are
the
target
market
for
this
property
and
venue
and
I'm.
Sometimes
we
are
don't
want
to
use
valet,
because
even
if
it
doesn't
cost
you
might
have
to
tip
and
so
I'm
wondering
it
costs,
then
to
use
valet
for
us,
so
I'm
wondering
if
people
do
use
street
parking
instead,
where
they
would
park
and
and
the
impact
to
those
neighborhoods.
This.
K
Was
one
of
the
difficult
discussions
that
we
had
Commission
there
isn't
the
ability
of
the
city
to
police
who
parks
on
public
streets
it's
difficult
to
identify.
You
know
who
the
individual
is
and
and
what
business
they're
patronizing
we,
the
Planning
Commission,
did
ask
that
the
applicant
post,
a
sign
saying
that
parking
on
residential
streets
is,
is
forbidden,
but
again
it's
very
difficult
for
the
city
to
enforce
that.
K
K
You
look
at
the
area
map.
There
really
is
not
parking
available
on
either
North
Palm,
Canyon
or
North
Indian
Canyon.
So
you
have
to
get
approximately
two
blocks
away
before
you
find
available
on
street
parking
spaces.
That
also
raises
concerns
of
pedestrian
safety
and
crossing
the
major
streets
to
get
to
the
property,
and
so
that's
why
their
recommendation
on
public
benefit
was
to
also
have
things
in
place.
To
address
that.
Thank.
C
You
and
I
also
saw
that
one
proposed
public
benefit
in
the
Planning
Commission
discussions
was
installing
a
crosswalk
on
Palm
Canyon
so
that
people
could
easily
get
to
the
venue.
And
back
can
you
explain
or
any
justification
why
the
Planning
Commission
set
the
public
benefit
as
the
fill
in
for
sidewalk
gaps
versus
the
other
ideas,
because.
K
C
You
I
remember
that
being
an
issue
for
the
Hacienda,
because
it's
so
it
was
so
dark
there.
My
last
question
is
on
page
12,
for
example,
it
says
the
location
of
the
food
preparation
kitchen
proposes
a
reduction
of
a
side
yard
setback
from
ten
feet
to
zero
and
I'm,
not
familiar
and
I'm
wondering
if
zero
foot
setback
is
a
safety
hazard
or
a
problem
at
all
or
what
the
recommendation
was
on
that
no.
K
It's
kind
of
unusual
in
our
zoning
code
that
in
the
c1
zoning
district
commercial
uses
such
as
retail
or
office,
could
build
on
the
property
line.
However,
there
is
an
exclusion
for
hotels
or
residential
that
they
have
to
have
additional
setbacks
again,
that's
kind
of
unusual
in
his
owning
code,
but
that's
the
way
that
our
zoning
code
is
in
terms
of
complying
with
Building
Code
requirements.
K
A
Okay,
just
a
quick
question:
one
is
on
the
on
the
drawing
on
page
143
63.
It
shows
a
diagram
and
there
isn't
much
in
the
write-up
that
I
could
find
on
the
size
of
the
stage,
but
it
looks
like
the
stage.
Of
course
there
is
at
the
at
the
west
wall
against
the
west
wall
and
it
looks
fairly
large.
Do
you
know
what
the
size
of
that
stage
is?
It
looks
like
it's
almost
as
big
as
the
pool
which.
K
K
K
A
The
other
quick
question
is
I
noticed
on
page
49
towards
a
pair
just
before
paragraph
B.
It
says
in
the
event
of
a
noise
complaint.
The
project
applicant
shall
provide
noise
level
measurement
data
to
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
planning
services
department
for
the
event
during
which
the
complaint
was
made,
including
daytime
evening
and
nighttime
hourly
noise
level
data
to
demonstrate
whether
the
noise
levels
exceeded
the
on-site
noise
level
limit.
The
data
should
be
provided
to
the
city
by
the
applicant
immediately
for
review
at
the
city's
discretion.
Is
this
normal?
A
K
That
isn't
normal
and
that's
part
of
the
fact
that
they
would
be
required
to
install
a
long-term
noise
monitoring
station
and
so
that
noise
monitoring
station
would
record
the
data,
and
we
would
ask
that
they
forward
that
data
to
us
to
review.
That's
not
something
that
we
have
in
place
in
other
properties.
Currently
and
again,
this
is
with
the
more
stringent
mitigation
measures
that
are
being
proposed
with
this
use.
Okay,.
A
Thank
you
any
other
questions
of
staff.
Before
we
open
this
public
hearing,
we
will
open
it
to
public
hearing.
The
Afghan
has
five
minutes
to
present
the
case
and,
if
requested,
we'll
have
two
minutes
available
for
rebuttal
and
again,
as
I
said
explained,
I
don't
have
a
five
minute
button,
so
I'm
going
to
give
you
two
and
then,
when
you
hear
the
first
ding
ignore
it
then
keep
going
for
three
more
okay.
So
our
first
speaker
I,
don't
have
your
name
on
here,
but
please
so
I.
Please
identify
yourself
and
you
may
start.
N
I'm
Matthew
Rogers
the
project
manager.
Thank
you
all
for
your
consideration
attention
in
dealing
with
infusion
Beach
project.
This
has
been
a
long
and
arduous
project
process,
to
say
the
least.
There's
no
doubt
that
the
original
proposed
project
across
the
street
has
evolved
to
where
we
are.
Today
we
have
done
our
best
to
mold
a
business
model
around
the
wants
and
desires
of
the
Planning
Commission
and
what
they
feel
would
best
serve
the
residents
and
visitors
of
Palm
Springs.
We
appreciate
their
favorable
recommendations.
The
misconceptions
about
the
project
are
abundant.
N
We
are
not
Hacienda,
we're
not
golden
voice,
we're
a
a
hotel
with
the
hopes
of
adding
a
food
and
beverage
component
that
will
give
our
guests
a
different
atmosphere
and
environment
to
enjoy
their
time
in
Palm
Springs.
The
fact
is,
the
economic
realities
of
the
North
End
make
it
extremely
difficult
for
a
hotel
to
survive
without
a
food
and
beverage
component
as
a
parent
with
many
surrounding
properties.
N
What
we
are
proposing
today
further
drives
traffic
and
inject
life
into
our
entire
block,
the
north
end
and
the
Gateway
to
our
city.
We
invite
the
members
of
the
council
to
ask
any
questions
that
will
help
them
better,
understand
our
business
model
and
who
we
are
they
vote
for.
This
project
is
a
vote
to
support
the
North
End.
You
vote
for
this
project
is
a
vote
to
support
the
other
businesses
of
the
North
End.
N
We
vote
for
this
project
as
a
as
a
vote
to
support
economic
vitality
of
the
North
End
I
also
wanted
to
address
the
letter
that
was
sent
about
the
conditions
of
approval.
The
first
is
the
mitigation
measures
that
the
Planning
Commission
is
conditioned.
The
project
with
urban
crossroads,
the
independent
and
cousteau
engineering
firm,
who
performed
the
noise
study
for
the
sequel
report,
has
recommended
the
two
mitigation
measures.
As
you
have
spoken
about,
the
measures
are
to
install
the
noise
limiter
or
to
install
the
long
term
noise
monitoring
system.
N
The
Planning
Commission
has
conditioned
the
project
to
install
both
of
these
mitigation
measures,
as
well
as
removing
the
subwoofer,
as
well
as
installing
a
noise
limiter
on
the
subwoofer,
which
is
not
in
the
system.
The
letter
is
requesting
that
the
council
removed
the
conditions
of
a
noise
monitoring
system,
as
well
as
the
limiter
on
the
subwoofer
that
will
not
be
in
the
system.
The
noise
monitoring
system
is
something
that
the
City
Council
has
never
conditioned
a
project
with
before
details
and
intricacies
of
a
system
like
this
would
be
an
operational
nightmare.
N
The
proposed
location
is
alongside
highway
111,
which
will
cause
validity
problems
when
alarms
our
trip.
Consultants
will
have
to
be
hired
to
determine
the
origination
of
the
sounds
is
that
the
alarm
off
second
part
of
the
letter
pertains
to
the
public
benefit
of
the
project.
We
feel
the
development
standards
we
are
asking
to
deviate
from
our
minimal,
as
staff
has
agreed.
The
public
benefit
we
are
proposing
is
the
project
itself,
as
well
as
a
$35,000
cash
donation.
To
improve
it's.
We
feel
that
this
development
will
impact
the
North,
End
and
Gateway
to
our
city
tremendously.
N
A
group
has,
our
group
does
have
control
and
plans
to
file
a
CEP
of
the
form
of
Dinks
location
by
the
end
of
2018.
We
also
plan
to
purchase
that
building.
We
have
an
option
in
the
lease
to
purchase
the
building.
So
not
only
do
we
have
control
of
the
parking
lot,
but
we
also
have
control
of
the
entire
building.
No
one
else
can
go
in
the
building.
No
one
else
can
use
it.
It
is
completely
on
us.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
We
only
have
one
speaker
say:
Clerk,
okay,
our
first
speakers
off
tah-dah.
Mr.
Dada,
you
will
have
two
minutes
good.
G
Evening,
mayor
and
city
council
I'm
back
again
as
president
of
the
Palm
Springs
hospitality
Association,
as
well
as
the
GM's
morning.
Breakfast
we
had
today.
Both
the
board
have
unanimously
approved,
supporting
this
project
that
we
badly
need
on
the
north
side
of
Vista,
Chino
and
I
feel
it
and
my
colleagues
all
feel
it
that
the
addition
of
the
food
and
beverage
component
will
be
a
very
successful
stuff
in
that
part
of
the
town,
because,
as
you
know
it
currently,
we
don't
have
any
hotel
or
motel
that
have
the
food
and
beverage
component.
G
So
I
would
like
for
all
of
you
and
urge
you
to
please
approve
this
project.
I
had
the
pleasure
of
visiting
the
property
a
few
days
ago
and
some
of
the
job
they
have
done
with
adding
those
beautiful
cabanas
and
the
concrete
area
and
the
staging,
as
well
as
the
bar
they're,
building
and
also
Matthew,
showed
me,
the
location
of
the
kitchen
so
having
valet
parking
and
alternate
transportation
now
available,
I,
don't
feel
parking
will
be
an
issue
for
this
project.
So
thank
you
again
and
hopefully,
you'll
approve
this
project.
Thanks,
okay,.
A
F
K
Certainly,
that
property
is
called
the
Tova
Hotel
project.
It
was
approved
by
Planning,
Commission
I
believe
back
in
2016.
What
they
are
doing
is
they're
renovating
the
property.
They
are
actually
decreasing.
The
number
of
hotel
rooms
I
believe
they
had
110
they're,
going
down
to
about
a
hundred
rooms
and
they're,
adding
a
brand-new
pool
component
to
that
spa
component.
They
had
originally
proposed
to
do
a
restaurant,
but
didn't
have
on-site
parking
available,
and
so
consequently
they
have
put
that
portion
of
it
off.
The
project
is
unfortunately
much
like
the
rail
project
dependent
on
eb-5
funding.
K
F
N
N
N
K
K
K
F
I
very
much
share
Councilwoman
hostages,
concern
about
the
parking
beyond
I'm
a
little
bit
concerned
about
the
dinks
use
and
the
other
use
combining
for
two
events.
If
you
add
an
event
going
on
at
the
dinks
building,
and
you
had
an
event
going
on
at
the
hotel.
I
worry
that
we're
gonna
have
parking
problems,
and
you
know
Christy
I
think
what's
gonna
happen
is
I,
don't
think
we
have
a
neighborhood
problem
here,
residential
but
I.
F
So
I
will
often
not
use
them
and
so
I
think
I'm
not
alone
in
that,
and
then
on
your
suggestion
that
Millennials
don't
even
want
to
pay
the
tip
that
they
might
overflow
or
they
might
use
other
Lots.
So
I
think
that's
what
we're
gonna
see
and
so
I
think
what
we're
gonna
see
is
Billy
reads
and
Rick's
across
the
street
and
potentially
even
the
Riviera
have
to
now
heavily
monitor
their
parking
lots
to
protect
their
parking
in
this
situation.
So
I
have
concerns
about
this.
F
A
Have
a
few
concerns
I
want
to
talk
about.
Speaking
on
the
parking
I
went
down
there
and
drove
around
this
about
three
or
four
times
to
see
how
it
worked
and
it's
quite
a
ways
to
go,
because
you
have
to
go
out
right
and
turn
right
onto
Indian
Indian,
then
on
to
the
Internet
via
more
or
less
day
right
and
then
you
have
to
turn
right
onto
Vista
Chino
and
that's
that
intersection,
where
I
believe
we've
had
two
fatalities
and
there's
a
light
going
going
there
soon.
So
there's
not
soon
enough.
A
So
there's
there
gonna
be
a
light.
There
then,
is
going
to
be
a
light
on
Vista,
Chino
and
Indian,
which
we
know
how
long
it
takes
to
get
through
that.
If
there's
a
big
line
of
people
patrons
waiting
for
their
cars
or
ballets
waiting,
you
know
the
more
cars,
the
more
tips,
I
I,
don't
see
them
going
around
that
circle
on
a
regular
basis.
They're
gonna
go
left
left
and
that
is
a
really
busy
part.
A
So
I'm
really
concerned
that
this,
this
valet
parking
is
not
going
to
work
and
the
Assessor
space
210
people,
that's
a
lot
of
people
and
to
me
it
looks
like
it's
got
a
very
large
stage
and
my
concern
also
at
the
stage
is
the
stage
faces
east
towards
residential
neighbor,
so
night
drove
over
there.
There's
a
lot
of
residential
neighborhoods,
particularly
I
drove
around
the
Riviera
of
villa
I,
think
it's
called
and
which
is
smaller,
smaller
condos
and
they're
fairly
much
in
line
with
it.
A
But
what's
really
directly
in
line
with
it
is
the
new
River
at
64,
which
is
gonna,
be
really
nice
condos,
and
they
are
right
in
line
because
that
that
stage
is
going
to
be
a
it's.
Gonna
have
a
back
wall
which
is
gonna,
be
a
little
higher
than
normally
allowed,
and
that
back
wall
is
going
to
be
a
reflection.
A
That's
going
to
reflect
that
music
right
through
the
opening
between
the
hustle
between
this
hotel
and
Billy
Reid's
that
it's
gonna
go
right
through
rib
at
64
and
then
right
over
and
to
the
the
condos
there
and
I'm
just
concerned.
We're
gonna.
Remember
the
complaints
we
used
to
get
on
the
Hacienda
I
know
they
said
they're
not
going
to
be
the
Hacienda
or
golden
voice.
However,
when
we
have
splash
house
in
we
know
there
were
complaints,
we
get
and
that's
two
weekends.
A
You
know
in
the
summer
and
it's
the
summer,
so
you
know
we
sort
of
live
with
it.
We
get
the
emails
the
next
day
and
you
know,
but
this
is
every
weekend
so
I'm
really
concerned
about
it
in
the
Hacienda.
If
you
really
looked
at
at
the
Hacienda,
it
didn't
have
anybody
any
real
residential
neighborhoods
around
it,
except
some
condos,
fairly
far
away
and
also
the
the
trailer
park
there.
But
yet
we
got
there
was
tremendous
number
of
complaints
from
the
Hacienda
was
going
and
the
that
that's
that's
my
concern.
A
I
just
don't
think
this
is
practical
and
I.
Don't
think
it's
you
know.
Iii
Palm
Springs
resorts
the
fact
that
they
support
this
I
think
is
great,
but
they're,
looking
at
revenue
and
business
which
we
have
to
also,
but
sometimes
we
also
have
to
look
at
the
residents
who
live
in
our
neighborhoods
and
if
I
lived
if
I
was
bought.
If
I
bought
a
house
that
the
Rivet
64
and
then
I
found
out
this
was
across
the
street.
A
All
this
noise
was
coming
over
there
I
think
I
would
be
very
upset
and
also
I
think
we're
gonna
if
I
actually
lived
in
those
that
that
condo
development
there's
been
there
since
1980
the
Riviera
I
figure.
What's
called
I
would
not
want
this
theory.
River
Gardens
I
wouldn't
want
this
there,
either
so
I'm
trying
to
place
myself
in
the
position
of
the
people
who
live
in
that
neighborhood
and
I.
C
I'm
excited
to
support
this
project,
I
think
it's
a
really
important
project
for
a
blighted
area
in
our
community
I
hear
the
concerns
about
noise,
and
it
looks
like
500
pages
of
research
and
for
public
public
meetings
and
a
lot
of
work
went
into
an
investigation,
went
into
potential
noise
and
mitigation
and
I
think
that
the
Planning
Commission
has
come
up
with
mitigation
options
for
noise
complaints.
I
actually
don't
have
concerns
about
parking.
I
was
making
a
comment
about
valet,
but
I
agree.
C
C
You
know
we're
gonna
have
self-driving
cars
in
ten
years
that
can
get
us
there
and
so
I'm
really
not
concerned
about
the
parking
and
I'm
really
excited
to
hear
that
you
have
an
option
on
that
dinks
building,
and
so
one
of
my
concerns
was
preventing
development
or
you
know
a
business
being
successful
in
that
location
if
you're
holding
the
parking
there.
But
actually
it
sounds
like
that
will
be
a
good
partnership
and
I
think
that
the
parking
calculates
to
what
even
under
our
very
strict
parking
requirements,
are
under
our
outdated
code.
C
Haciendas
was
a
controversial
project.
It
was
a
wildly
popular
of
concert
venue,
there's
not
a
lot
to
do
for
young
people
in
this
city
and
I.
Think
you're
really
filling
a
need
that
people
will
be
excited
about
I
drove
by
I
peeked,
my
head
in
and
for
all
the
hoopla
that
I
heard
about
the
project
before
seeing
it.
I
was
surprised.
It's
a
smaller
pool
area
with
really
cool
cabanas,
a
small
stage
area.
It's
really
not
proposing
a
very
radical
of
use
and
so
I
think
that
it's
exciting.
C
We
need
this
type
of
development
in
that
North
End.
There
actually
aren't.
If
you
look
at
the
map
that
many
residential
areas
that
are
going
to
be
affected
and
that's
the
point
of
bringing
back
a
see
you
pee
in
six
months
and
that
we
can
review
that
at
that
time,
I
think
you
know
we're
a
tourist
town.
C
We
have
tourists
who
like
to
be
by
the
pool
or
a
resort
city,
that's
known
for
pool
parties
and
I,
don't
want
that
in
to
intrude
on
residents,
peace
and
quiet,
but
we
also
need
to
balance
that
with
the
need
of
providing
services
to
both
tourists
and
residents,
who
want
to
use
those
types
of
venues
and
have
something
to
do
here.
So
I
support,
I'm
gonna
vote
and
support
this
project
and
the
variances
and
the
Cu
P
I,
don't
support
having
both
the
belt
and
the
suspenders
of
a
noise
monitoring
system.
C
I
agree
with
the
applicant
that
there's
a
lot
of
problems
and
the
noise
monitoring
system,
that's
automatic,
because
the
street
noise
and
you
look
at
the
report
that
was
done.
It's
often
higher
than
the
than
is
actually
even
required.
So
you're
gonna
have
constant
feedback
and
constant
triggers.
It's
gonna
be
a
nightmare
and
it's
an
expensive
and
comprehensive
system,
and
so,
if
we
haven't
required
it
for
any
other
projects,
I
don't
see
why
we
would
require
it
here.
We
have
similar
events
happening
at
the
Riviera
right
there
and
so
I.
C
J
You
mr.
mayor
I
also
support
this
project
and
agree
pretty
much
with
everything.
Councilmember
holstege
said
you
know.
If
we
can't
do
this
kind
of
project
north
of
Vista,
she
know
between
Indian
and
Palm
Canyon,
we're
basically
saying
we
can't
do
it
anywhere
in
our
city,
and
you
know
when
it
comes
to
the
noise
they're,
not
asking
for
any
waiver
of
our
normal
noise
ordinance.
J
So
the
issue
is
enforcement
and
that
we
make
sure
the
neighbors
and
residents
know
that
there's
a
phone
number
for
noise
complaints,
that's
on
our
website
and
that
we
actually
enforce
it
because
I
think
one
of
the
concerns
was
we
don't
always
do
that
and
so
they're
not
asking
for
a
waiver
of
that
on
parking.
All
they're
asking
for
is
50
feet
more
for
the
valet
than
what
they're
entitled
to
and
they
meet
the
parking
requirements
as
long
as
they
do
valet
for
both
possible
dinks
use
and
for
the
hotel
use.
J
J
J
It's
something
in
addition
and
I
know
we're
spending
what
a
million
a
million
five
and
measure
J
funds
for
sidewalk
gap
fill
in,
which
is
why
I
think
the
original
idea
from
the
Planning
Commission
of
affordable
housing
fund
and
something
we've
talked
about
on
council
would
be
a
better
fit.
But
I
agree.
If
staff
has
a
different
feeling,
please
let
us
know,
but
I
do
support
the
project
on
the
same
terms
as
councilman
per
whole
stage.
I
I'm
also
going
to
be
supporting
the
project,
and
much
of
that
has
to
do
with
the
incredibly
rigorous
work
that
the
Planning
Commission
went
through
I'm
going
to
differ
from
my
colleague,
councilmember
holstege.
But
then
maybe
it's
just
age
but
I
think
the
belt
and
suspenders
need
to
be
used,
and
this
calls
for
a
six-month
review.
That's
not
only
an
opportunity
for
us
to
review
what
the
impact
of
sound
and
the
like
has
been.
I
It's
an
opportunity
for
the
applicant
to
demonstrate
if
there
are
practical
issues
with
being
able
to
implement
the
sound
system
that
the
Planning
Commission
is
calling
for,
they
will
have
an
opportunity
to
demonstrate
to
the
Planning
Commission
what
they
have
tried
to
do
and
what
those
impediments
have
been
to
them.
But
I
want
to
see
the
effort
there.
I
One
of
the
other
reasons
why
I
am
supporting
this
project
is
that
it
does
not
allow
for
subwoofers
and
I
have
a
little
bit
of
experience
with
the
the
Hacienda
and
that
I
live
approximately
a
thousand
to
1,500
feet
from
where
the
Hacienda
was.
And
yes,
the
noise
ordinance
was
complied
with.
But
those
bass
sounds
travel.
I
A
tremendous
length
and
we
have
within
650
feet
frankly,
once
you
get
to
a
thousand
feet,
a
number
of
residences
that
start
to
appear
and
those
bass
notes,
would
carry
so
I
think
it's
incredibly
important
that
we
do
not
allow
subwoofers
there
in
terms
of
the
noise
ordinance
itself.
It
continues
to
apply
and
it
applies
at
the
property
lines.
So,
if
I'm
at
64
at
the
Riv,
if
there
is
compliance
with
our
noise
ordinance,
it
is
simply
impossible
for
sound
to
have
reached
64
at
the
Riv,
because
you
couldn't
do
it.
I
That's
how
limiting
our
ordinance
is.
So
to
get
this
sound,
another
half
a
block
across
a
busy
street
I,
just
don't
is,
is
something
that's
going
to
take
place
so
and
lastly,
on
the
public
benefit
as
a
member
of
the
Planning
Commission
I
was
very
pleased
to
be
pushing
for
public
housing
as
being
our
preferred
method
of
public
benefit
going
forward.
I
So
if
there's
an
opportunity
practically
to
do
this
as
a
part
of
this
project,
I
would
love
to
see
us
implement
it.
But
I
also
know
that
we
could
take
another
40
or
50
projects
providing
$50,000
for
sidewalk
repairs,
and
we
would
still
have
a
number
of
sidewalks
that
la
left
in
the
city
that
needed
to
be
repaired
and
from
a
practical
standpoint.
It
may
be
more
advantageous
for
us
simply
this
time
to
set
the
money
aside
for
sidewalks,
knowing
that
we
need
to
have
a
program
in
place
to
to
move
forward
with
public
housing.
A
F
So
I'm
on
to
support
this
project
I'd
like
to
see
it
go,
I
think
the
Planning
Commission
made
really
good
calls
on
this.
I
don't
want
to
second-guess
them
if
they
want
to
try
a
more
stringent,
a
stringent,
sound
mitigation,
I'm
interested
because
I've
been
here
long
enough
and
sat
on
that
Planning
Commission
to
see
us,
give
shots
to
hotels
and
have
it
not
work
and
again,
music.
F
In
a
party
environment,
it's
really
hard
to
control
DJ's,
it's
really
hard
to
control
music
and
in
as
much
as
we
are
a
party
town
and
we
want
live
music
venues
and
I
completely
support
that
we
have
to
strike
a
balance
between
its
effects
on
its
surroundings.
It's
never
a
question
in
my
mind
as
if
we
should
have
a
new
venue
or
a
new
live
music
venue
can't
be
enough
of
those,
but
it
will
always
be
a
question
in
my
mind
about
the
impacts
and
I
think
that's
my
job
is
to
look
at
those.
F
It's
not
the
fun
job,
but
you
know
that's
the
job
we
have
to
do
with
respect
to
the
public
benefit.
You
know
when
I
was
on
the
Planning
Commission.
The
whole
concept
of
public
benefit
was
a
little
squishy.
In
fact,
we
weren't
even
using
it
when
I
got
on
the
Planning
Commission,
because
in
those
days
we
were
so
grateful
to
get
new
development.
F
Those
were
the
days
we
would
accept
the
project
as
a
public
benefit,
because
we
had
all
these
empty
buildings
and
empty
lots.
So
we
were
thrilled.
Things
have
changed
a
lot
since
then,
and
the
Planning
Commission
has
changed
a
lot
in
what
it
requires
is
public
benefit
and
I
know
I,
don't
even
know
if
we
fully
define
how
to
derive
public
benefit
or
what
it
should
be.
Can
I
ask
you
a
question
flynn
on
that?
F
K
Was
the
intent
of
the
Planning
Commission?
Is
that
in
the
way
that
they
worded,
that
condition
of
the
public
benefit
in
terms
of
donation
to
our
sidewalk
gap
fund?
They
wanted
to
see
the
funds
used
in
the
vicinity
of
this
project,
and
so
they
wanted
to
look
at
areas
that
were
immediately
in
this
area
rather
than
you
know,
South
Palm,
Springs
or
you
know,
East
Palm
Canyon
things
like
that,
and
so
again
they
did
want
that
to
be
in
the
immediate
vicinity
and.
F
F
F
F
I,
don't
need
the
the
owner
coming
back
every
year,
but
I'd
like
to
get
a
report
from
the
police
department
and
also
get
a
report
from
staff
on
complaints
if
we're
getting
a
lot
of
noise
complaints
or
we're
getting
a
lot
of
people
being
hit
by
cars
because
they're
crossing
the
street
right
there.
So
that's
that's
the
I'm
pretty
much
saying
I'm
gonna
support
it
as
it
is,
but
I
would
like
to
add.
The
monitoring
I
would
like
to
have
when
I
say.
Monitoring.
F
K
To
that
question
about
the
monitoring
on
page
43
and
the
conditions
of
approval,
the
monitoring
requirement
is
condition
ad
m8
right
now.
It
states
a
six-month
review
and
a
one-year
review
and
that
those
reviews
go
to
the
Planning
Commission.
If
mayor
pro-tem,
as
he
has
just
discussed,
would
prefer
those
to
come
to
City
Council,
we
would
need
to
modify
that
condition
accordingly.
I.
F
Would
not
I
trust
the
Planning
Commission
to
that
if,
if
staff
or
dr.
Reddy
thinks
that
should
come
to
us,
if
we
need
to
pull
this
back
up,
I'd
like
you
to
make
that
call,
but
I
fully
trust
the
Planning
Commission
to
do
the
monitoring
I
know
that
they
they're
good
at
that.
I
would
just
like
to
extend
it
for
a
few
years.
If
my
colleagues
are
open
to
that,
yeah.
A
I'd
like
to
add
that
I
I
can
count,
but
I
I
I
think
this
is
a
cool
cool
project,
but
I
just
can't
support
it.
Two
things
to
me,
the
valet
parking
I
think
is
in
a
congested
area
of
high
speed.
Traffic
is
gonna,
be
a
problem
and
we're
talking
about
today,
not
10
years
from
now
in
all
these
Jets
and
cars
or
self-driving
or
buzzing
around
policy,
and
also
the
noise
I.
Just
we
can
put
in
all
this
stuff
and
say,
like
like
mayor
pro-tem,
said
with
districts
and
stuff.
A
You
never
know
what
they're
going
to
do
and
I
think
this
is.
This
is
gonna,
be
a
problem
and
as
customer
holstege
says,
this
is
a
resort
town
true
and
it
is
a
party
town,
but
it's
also
a
residential
town.
We
have
a
lot
of
people
who
live
here
and
I
drove
around
that
place
and
looked
at
the
homes
there,
and
there
are
smaller
homes
there.
Condos
and
they're,
probably
you
know
a
lot
of
people
who
are
seasonal
or
they're
here
during
the
hi
party
season
and
they
deserve
some
enjoyment
of
their
neighborhood.
A
And
yes,
we've
got
the
downtown.
That's
booming:
that's
got
all
these
for
these
places
that
make
a
lot
of
noise,
but
that's
for
downtown.
This
is
a
very
heavily
residential
area
and
for
that
reason,
I
just
can't
afford
this
and
I'd
also
like
to
comment
that
before
we
start
a
practice
of
putting
money
like
tonight
into
affordable
housing,
which
is
something
we
do
need
to
do,
I
think
we
have
to
have
a
program
in
place
first.
A
This
is
all
premature
for
that,
because
you
know
we
don't
want
again
to
I
lived
in
Washington
DC,
where
a
lot
of
projects
were
approved
because
of
off-site
affordable
housing
where
money
was
set
aside
for
how
affordable
housing
somewhere
else
and
a
lot
of
projects
got
approved
later
on
in
Washington,
which
is
a
much
bigger
city
that
probably
shouldn't
have
been
because
they
got
money
for
affordable
housing
somewhere
else.
So
I
think
we
just
need
to
look
at
that
carefully
before
we
start
putting
money
into
something
like
that.
J
Cop,
a
comment
which
is
the
reason
I
brought
up
and
I'm
fine
with
a
sidewalk
gap.
I
guess
I
have
some
questions,
one.
The
reason
I
brought
up
the
affordable
housing
is
my
understanding,
which
might
not
be
correct,
was
that
was
the
Planning
Commission's
first
choice,
but
they
were
told
we
didn't
have
a
fund
when
in
fact
we
do
have
a
housing
fund
with
a
million
plus
dollars
in
it,
so
that
so
we
can
be
clear.
What
was
the
Planning
Commission's
first
choice
on
this
I.
K
Don't
know
if
it
was
their
first
choice,
but
it's
certainly
one
of
the
choices
that
they
wanted
to.
Consider
and
I
was
not
aware
that
we
had
a
fund
in
place,
and
so
that
was
the
direction
that
I
gave
them
at
that
point
in
time.
But
again
that
was
one
of
the
things
that
they
considered
and
one
of
the
priorities
for
them,
especially
on
this
project
and
any
projects
going
forward,
as
they
would
like
to
put
funds
towards
affordable
house
and.
J
I'm
fine
with
this
being
for
sidewalks,
do
we
know
if,
in
the
one
and
a
half
million
were
already
allocated
recently
for
sidewalks,
and
maybe
Marcus
knows
this
is:
is
that
area
already
addressed
or
they're
gaps
that
are
not
going
to
be
addressed
in
the
sidewalk
projects
that
were
currently
planning
on
doing
that
actually
need
to
be
done
up
there?
We.
B
J
B
J
Okay
in
that
area,
specifically,
though
I
want
to
make
sure,
because
if
we're
gonna
do
that,
I
would
want
to
make
sure
it's
really
right
there,
because
I
do
think
it
is
a
safety
issue.
I
think
that's!
That's
a
good
point.
My
only
thing
on
the
noise,
the
belt-and-suspenders
which
I
just
want
to
mention
is
you
know
no
subwoofers
and
a
noise
limiter
that
prevents
the
noise
from
going
to
a
certain
level.
J
N
J
J
F
J
G
J
J
F
F
C
And
if
I
could
just
say,
the
level
of
staff,
work
and
preparation,
and
all
of
your
shepherding
of
this
project
through
is
just
really
impressive,
and
to
allow
us
to
sit
here
and
grill
you
about
the
status
of
those
specific
sidewalks
and
to
be
able
to
answer
is
just
incredibly
impressive.
So
thank
you
for
all
your
hard
work
on
this
made.
It
easy
for
me
at
least
mr.
K
H
A
Okay,
no
legislative
items,
no
unfinished
business.
No
new
business
public
comment
on
non-agenda
items.
This
time
has
been
set
aside
from
members
of
the
public
to
address
City
Council
on
items
of
general
interest
within
the
subject
matter:
jurisdiction
of
the
city.
Although
the
city
values
your
comments
pursuant
to
the
Brown
Act,
you
generally
cannot
take
any
action
on
items
not
listed
in
the
posted
agenda.
Two
minutes
will
be
assigned
to
each
speaker.
A
B
Well,
good
evening,
mayor
and
council
I'll
put
a
demand
on
the
city
again
shortly
and
I
think
when
it
really
is
as
a
default
as
far
as
I
can
tell
mr.
kotkin,
the
city
is
in
default
of
the
complaint
that
I
filed
against
officer
Donovan
against
this
offense
on
my
person
back
in
November
and
I.
Put
that
complaint
in
against
the
city
shortly
thereafter.
B
I,
don't
think
anybody
here
doubts
the
stress,
duress
and
angst
and
horror
that
my
life
has
been
in
the
past
few
years
from
the
zero
response
from
the
city
on
either
side
of
the
street
okay.
But
if
there
is
any
doubt
in
your
mind,
then
you
can
view
the
body
cam
of
the
second
time
that
officer
Donovan
pulled
me
over
and
I
I'm
speaking
mr.
Roberts,
and
don't
stop
stop,
stop
I
expect
your
undivided
attention
view
of
the
body
cam
mr.
B
J
F
L
L
You
I
want
to
thank
you
all
up
there,
as
well
as
the
board
of
directors
of
the
Palm
City
Animal
Shelter,
for
what
you
did
to
get
my
kitties
back
to
me
last
on
Sunday
Craig
Ewing,
who
used
to
be
the
city
planner,
who
I
have
known
since
October,
2nd
2012
when
I
moved
here
and
I
was
under
his
classes.
For
four
years
he
held
my
kitties
hostage
at
the
Palm
Springs
Animal
Shelter.
For
nine
days
he
came
to
my
house
with
rusty
fukaya,
a
technician.
L
Thank
you
so
much
and
the
rest
and
she
contacted
the
rest
of
you
are
and
my
kid
he
allowed
my
kitties
to
be
released,
but
he
put
demands.
He
put
unbelievable
limitations
on
me
stating
that
I
had
to
get
a
letter
from
my
landlord
which,
if
my
landlord
had
complied
and
think
got
the
good
Lord
that
he
did
not,
but
had
he
complied.
He
would
have
been
in
violation
of
a
HUD
and
a
DA
as
well
as
fair
housing,
laws
and
I
went
with
Jeff
King
one
of
my
close
friends
to
get
the
kitties
on.
A
F
You
mayor,
so,
first
of
all,
mr.
cotton,
I
I
have
a
question
for
you.
So
with
mr.
worthy.
We
have
this
ongoing
problem
and
I.
Don't
you
know?
I
can
deal
with
some
of
that,
but
I
find
that
I
can't
really
work
under
those
conditions.
More
importantly,
it
it
really
upsets
me
to
see
our
audience
intimidated
and
frightened
by
him
he's
getting
he's
becoming
more
aggressive
and
more
defiant
and
I.
F
Don't
know
what
we
are
able
to
do
on
that,
but
he
seems
to
be
unfazed
by
our
admonishments
and
our
request
that
he
come
in
here
with
some
level
of
respect
and
self-control,
but
him
screaming
at
us
like
that
and
threatening
us
that
way
that
I
can't
work
with
in
this
environment
and
I
need
to
know
between
you
and
our
police
staff.
What
we
can
do
about
that,
because
he's
not
getting
the
point
it's
every
time
now.
I
will.
H
H
Fight
here,
through
I,
will
prepare
a
confidential
and
attorney-client
privilege
memorandums
describing
to
the
council
and
mayor
I
will
CC
the
police
department.
What
are
what
our
capacity
is
to
limit
that
type
of
behavior
in
this
chamber.
I,
certainly
understand
you
and
I
have
spoken
about
this
before
and
I've
expressed
in
this
chamber
that
you
all
have
the
right
and
even
the
responsibility
to
do
the
people's
business
for
which
you
are
elected
and
when
things
get
in
the
way
of
that,
that's
not
an
acceptable
impediment.
H
People
have
a
right
to
their
government
functioning
in
a
reasonably
ordered
fashion.
That
said,
of
course,
there's
free
speech,
of
course,
there's
free
expression
and
in
this
city,
as
the
five
of
you
have
made
clear
on
many
occasions,
that's
one
of
our
paradigms.
That
is
unshakeable
inflexible
and
permanent
as
far
as
you're
concerned.
But
but
there
are
limits
and
and
I
will
provide
that
legal
advice
to
you
not
here
in
this
chamber,
but
certainly
in
writing
all.
F
Right,
thank
you,
I.
You
know
what
I
don't
mind
criticism,
I
don't
mind:
people
who
upset
about
issues,
that's
part
of
our
job
and
I,
don't
even
mind
when
they
when
they,
when
they
criticize
us
personally,
about
issues
having
to
do
with
the
city,
but
he
goes
to
another
level
of
abuse
and
I
I
just
can't
deal
with
it
and-
and
it
really
upsets
me
to
hear
audience
members
shaken
up
from
it.
They
come
here
to
feel
safe
and
to
speak
with
us.
F
They're
nervous
anyway,
coming
here
and
I
understand
that
we're
all
sensitive
to
that
microphones
aren't
friendly.
They
shouldn't
have
to
be
subjected
to
that
kind
of
behavior
in
here.
Somehow
we
need
to
create
a
safe
environment
for
people
to
be
here
and
to
speak
with
us
and
for
us
to
relate
and
communicate
with
them.
So
I
really
think
it's.
We
now
need
to
take
some.
F
A
F
A
Of
retirement
can
I
add
something
to
that
sure
I'd
like
to
add
that
I
was
just
recently
at
the
Palm
Springs
opera
guild,
black-tie
gala
at
the
Palm
Springs,
Art,
Museum
and
mr.
worthy
was
there
in
a
tuxedo.
The
tickets
started
at
$350
and
he
was
there.
He
was
having
conversations
of
some
of
the
most
prominent
members
of
our
community
and
behaving
in
a
very
social
and
very
acceptable
and
very
sophisticated
way.
A
So
that
tends
to
lead
me
to
have
very
little
sympathy
for
this,
because
I
know
he
can
behave
in
a
civilized
way
because
I've
seen
him
do
it.
That's
why
I
agree
with
mayor
pro-tem
that
some
of
this
may
be
an
act
and
if
there's
some
way
to
based
on
a
history,
a
restraining
order
of
some
sort.
You
know
there
are
limits
to
free
speech,
public.
H
A
I
didn't
really
safe
manner.
I've
been
bringing
my
procedure
book
with
me
cos,
but
it
has.
This
hat
happened
to
forgot
last
couple
meetings,
so
I
didn't
bring
it
tonight,
and
but
it
does
specifically
say
that
this
is
not
allowed
that
people
are
not
allowed
to
denigrate
or
insult
staff
or
the
council
members.
Well.
K
F
H
Really,
where
my
advice
will
be
directed
I'm,
not
comfortable,
giving
you
legal
advice
in
this
forum,
but
I
will
put
it
in
writing.
I
will
CC
chief
Reyes
we'll
have
a
dialogue
in
a
confidential
manner
and
as
a
practical
matter,
I'm
disturbed
when
I
hear
that
somebody
who's
here
from
the
public
feels
unsafe.
I
agree
with
you.
A
hundred
percent
Thank.
C
I
I
Then
he
came
back
and
asked
for
a
subsequent
meeting,
which
I
had
last
week
with
him
lasting
approximately
45
minutes,
and
so
he
has
been
given
ample
opportunity
to
present
to
not
only
this
council
but
to
me
one-on-one
to
say
what
his
concerns
were.
He
was
invited
he
was
requested
at
the
last
meeting
that
I
had
with
him
put
down
in
writing
all
of
your
complaints.
A
C
C
Advice
to
us
thank
you
for
that.
I
would
like
to
request
an
ad
hoc
subcommittee
for
our
business
retention,
Committee
and
work.
What
councilmember,
Coors
and
I
are
on
the
Standing
Committee
and
we're
putting
together
a
forum
for
the
community,
and
so
we
need
to
meet
and
discuss
that
in
a
way
that
will
help
organize
it,
and
we
can't
do
that
without
an
ad
hoc
subcommittee.
Please,
mr.
mayor
could.
C
H
C
My
property
is
like
70
decibels,
because
I
live
on
Farrell,
and
so
there
were
issues
with
us
complying
with
the
noise
ordinance,
because
even
just
the
regular
noise
of
the
street
and
our
neighbors
is
much
much
higher
than
that,
and
it
puts
people
risk
for
complaints
and
other
things
like
that
and
I
think
we
should
really
review
that
in
light
of
our
conversation
about
this
property.
Thank
you.
That's.
B
B
B
D
F
You
yeah
with
respect
to
future
agendas
and
so
forth.
Dr.
Reddy
I'd
like
to
request
that
at
some
point
at
your
convenience,
there's
no
urgency.
Obviously,
on
this
but
I'd
like
to
see
it
come
back
before
summer,
if
possible,
a
downtown
furniture
question.
We've
had
sufficient
time
for
everyone
to
go,
see
it
and
comment
on
it.
I'd
like
to
bring
it
back
to
see
what
changes
we
want
to
make
or
what
we
like
or
don't
like
Stacey
has
asked
that
as
well,
and
obviously
we
don't
want.
F
If
we're
going
to
do
these
change
outs,
we
don't
want
to
subject
that
to
them.
If
we
can
in
the
heat
of
the
summer,
particularly
getting
rid
of
all
that
concrete
furniture,
I
also
was
hoping
that
we
could
soon
talk
about
our
summer
schedule.
We
know
that
we
have
up
until
the
summer
looks
like
we're
going
to
be
adding
a
number
of
meetings
to
our
agenda
to
cover
the
heavy
caseload
that
we
anticipate
but
I
like
us
to
talk
about
August,
and/or,
July,
August
and
September
about
how
we
want
to
handle
that
I.
F
E
E
There's
obviously
the
holidays,
Jewish
holidays,
the
Christmas
holidays
and
New
Year's,
and
then
the
summer
so
and
then
some
extra
meetings
that
we're
planning
so
I'm
gonna
put
together
I
a
rather
detailed
upcoming
schedule,
adjust
calendar
I'll,
get
it
to
council
it'll
actually
be
agendized
at
the
next
meeting
and
I
can
get
formal
direction.
Okay,.
A
Okay,
okay
and
I
point
out
that
January
2nd
is
a
Wednesday
and
that's
probably
the
the
Film
Festival.
So
we
might,
since
January
has
five
weeks,
so
we
might
be
able
to
actually
figure
that
to
the
second.
Fourth
also
docked
already
a
few.
When
you
look
at
January,
that's
because
I'm
sure
Harold
will
have
the
Film
Festival
in
January.
Second,.
