If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
Personally.
For
me
to
be
a
resource
right,
we
have
five
City
Council
members,
that's
not
a
lot,
but
we
have
an
extension
of
the
work
happening
through
the
working
group.
So
I
would
like
to
ask
those
of
us
who
are
part
of
the
working
group.
If
you
would
like
to
just
raise
your
hand-
and
just
let
folks
know
so,
I
don't
have
the
numbers
off
the
top
of
my
head
of
how
many
of
us
there
are,
but
there
are
several
of
us,
and
so
please
use
this
as
a
resource.
A
In
addition
to
the
elected
folks
and
city
staff
and
I,
think
that's
all
I
will
say
so.
I
just
wanted
to
say.
Thank
you
so
much
for
those
of
you
who
are
here
today.
There
are
some
documents
out
in
the
front
in
case
you
didn't
see
them
or
get
a
chance
to
grab
them.
Let
someone
know
and
like
I
can
go
up
and
grab
them.
B
Again,
thank
you
for
coming
out
tonight,
and
this
is
very
informal,
so
you've
been
to
many
City
Council
meetings.
We
are
going
to
mostly
be
listening
to
you.
We've
got
some
presentations
that
we're
going
to
make,
and,
unlike
city
council
meetings,
you
can
come
up
and
tell
us.
This
is
what
I
think
or
you
can
ask
questions
or
you
can
do
a
combination
of
both.
B
We
don't
have
any
time
limits
on
how
long
individuals
can
speak
other
than
we
ask
that
you
respect
all
of
the
other
people
in
the
room
who
might
have
a
desire
to
speak
by
not
taking
more
than
your
fair
share
of
of
time.
But
this
process
is
a
significant
change
for
our
city.
We
have
traditionally
been
electing
individuals
at
large
across
the
entire
city.
B
The
California
state
legislature
very
clearly
identified
that
at-large
voting
has
been
used
by
a
number
of
cities
to
disenfranchise,
in
particular
minority
voters,
and
that
has
happened
in
multiple
cities
in
multiple
places.
There
are
folks
who
will
argue
whether
it
has
or
has
not
happened
in
Palm
Springs,
but
the
state
legislature
made
a
decision
over
20
years
ago
that
it
was
happening
frequently
enough
in
California
that
they
put
their
thumb
on
the
scales
and
said
we
want
cities
to
begin
moving
to
at
district
elections,
so
that
individuals
represent
individual
districts
in
their
cities.
B
When
we
received
notice
in
Palm
Springs
that
we
were
subject
to
litigation,
if
we
did
not
move
to
districts,
our
city
takes
an
awful
lot
of
pride
in
our
attention
to
inclusiveness,
our
mission
of
being
an
inclusive
City,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
think.
After
a
couple
of
days
of
reflection,
all
of
us
on
City
Council
found
ourselves
saying
is
Palm.
Springs
wants
to
be
the
kind
of
city.
B
B
We
were
able
to
negotiate
with
the
attorney
representing
the
plaintiffs,
an
extension
of
time
so
that,
rather
than
having
to
get
this
all
completed
by
next
Thursday,
we
were
able
to
get
an
extension
of
time
through
the
end
of
this
year,
and
we
we
got
that
because
we
were
committed
to
making
this
process
work.
We're
required
to
have
four
public
hearings.
We're
gonna
have
four
meetings
this
week
and
many
more
to
follow
after
that.
So
thank
you
for
coming
out.
It's
warm,
but
we
are
gonna
stay
here
until
you're
finished,
talking
and
finished,
answering
questions.
C
I
want
to
acknowledge
our
mayor,
Robert,
moon
and
councilmember
Christy
holstege
are
here
because
of
the
Brown
Act
they're
not
allowed
to
talk,
so
you
have
to
direct
questions
to
us
as
the
subcommittee,
but
I
think
everyone
on
council
wants
to
hear
from
the
public,
and
so
I
really
appreciate
both
of
them
being
here.
So
they
get
the
same
input
we
get.
C
Really
thank
Alexis
for
offering
to
help
facilitate
this.
On
the
working
group.
There
are
nine
members
of
the
working
group
and
the
working
group.
We
really
want
people,
you
know
if
you
want
to
reach
out
to
Lisa
and
I
the
city
clerk
with
questions.
Any
council
member
should
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
with
your
info
and
that
will
eventually
all
get
to
Council,
but
sometimes
people
are
more
comfortable
reaching
out
to
members
of
the
working
group
right.
C
Obviously,
this
impacts
the
five
members
of
council
since
we're
going
to
be
creating
districts
for
the
council
members.
So
the
working
group
is
another
vehicle
for
people
to
reach
out
to
and
I
really
appreciate,
just
by
name,
Dixie
Miller
who's
on
it
who's
here
who
I
think
a
lot
of
folks
here
know:
Tobias,
Barrington,
wolf
and
Steven.
Moses
are
also
here
with
Alexis,
so
people
are
started
splitting
these
up.
C
Some
people
have
going
to
come
to
as
many
as
they
can
and
we
very
much
appreciate
their
doing
so
and
we'll
make
sure
that
we
have
a
way
for
people
to
contact
the
working
group
directly
on
the
website.
So
folks
are
able
to
do
that
without
having
to
go
through
us,
and
the
only
thing
I
want
to
add
before
we
start
is
well.
You
know,
Lisa
is
really
on
point.
This
is
a
big
change
for
Palm
Springs.
It's
not
a
change
for
how
we
normally
vote
when
we
vote
for
the
school
board.
C
We
vote
for
the
College
Board
starting
this
year
when
we
vote
for
the
desert
healthcare
district,
when
we
vote
for
the
state
Senate
or
the
Assembly
or
Congress,
or
the
US
Senate
we're
voting
in
districts
where
a
representative
democracy,
where
you
vote
for
you,
a
representative
who
then
represents
you
in
the
larger
body,
which
prevents
the
majority
from
picking
everyone,
which
would
be
much
more
like
a
parliamentary
system
that
you
see
in
Europe
and
other
places.
So
this
is
actually
more
consistent
with
how
we
vote
for
other
offices.
C
It's
just
something
that
will
be
new
for
the
Palm
Spring
City
Council.
So
it
is
something
we
just
I
want
to
rhyme
people
is
familiar
just
not
for
this
specific
office
and
with
that
I
know
our
city
manager,
David
Reddy,
is
here.
So
thank
you
for
being
here
and
our
director
of
communications.
Amy
Lee
plays
dáil
this
year.
So
if
you
have
questions
for
any
of
them,
we
have
a
bunch
of
staff
who
are
doing
all
the
AV
here.
So
thank
you
and
Jarvis,
who
runs
the
center
of
here.
C
D
Thank
you
for
having
me
I
do
want
to
point
out
the
documents
that
we
have
available
for
everybody.
So
first
off
are
these
comment
cards
so
if
you're
somebody
who's
shy
or
doesn't
want
to
make
your
comments
out
in
the
public
feel
free
to
take
these
cards
fill
them
out.
You
can
submit
them
to
me.
You
can
drop
them
off
tonight
or
you
can
drop
them
off
at
City
Hall.
You
can
email
it.
D
However,
you
want
to
get
it
to
us,
but
we
do
want
to
hear
from
everybody
so,
whether
you
speak
tonight
or
you
fill
out
these
cards,
if
you
are
a
Spanish
speaker-
and
you
want
to
fill
this
out
in
Spanish,
we
will
have
it
translated.
In
addition,
we
do
have
an
interpreter
here
if
anybody
needs
Spanish
translation.
D
Additionally,
we
do
have
voter
registration
in
that
room
right
over
there.
So
if
anybody
needs
to
slip
away,
real,
quick
and
fill
out
a
voter
registration
card
feel
free.
So,
in
addition
to
that,
we
have
on
the
green
sheets
Spanish
documents
and
on
the
blue
sheets
English
documents,
which
are
a
brief
memo
on
what
communities
of
interest
are
and
you're
going
to
hear
that
term
a
lot
tonight.
D
Communities
of
interest
is
the
focus
of
tonight's
presentation
and
then
in
addition,
we
have
the
schedule
of
other
meetings
that
we'll
be
having
through
December
and
then,
of
course,
we
have
the
PowerPoint
presentation
for
tonight
and
then
last
is
this
map,
which
is
a
public
participation
map
and
as
we
go
through
the
presentation,
I'll
be
describing
the
three
kind
of
levels
of
participation.
The
simplest
and
easiest
is
to
use
this
paper
map.
You
can
just
draw
using
a
marker
or
crayon
kind
of
the
boundaries
of
what
you
think.
C
D
So
with
that
I'll
go
ahead
and
start
the
presentation,
so
I'm
gonna
briefly
describe
that
we
we
are
currently
in
an
at-large
election.
So
that
means
that
the
city
elects
each
of
the
council
members
and
the
mayor
at-large,
and
so
what
we're
proposing
is
that
we
transition
to
by
district
elections
in
which
the
councilmember
would
need
to
live
within
the
district
that
it
represents,
and
then
the
members
within
that
district
would
be
the
only
ones
voting
on
that
councilmember.
D
D
This
is
an
illustration
of
how
district
elections
are
intended
to
work,
as
you
can
see
that
if
there
is
a
minority
group,
that's
centra
are
concentrated
in
a
particular
location
and
an
at-large
election.
You
would
see
that
they
would
always
basically
not
be
able
to
elect
the
member
of
their
choice
to
the
City
Council.
B
So
these
goals
that
we
have
our
goals
that
were
adopted
by
the
entire
City
Council,
the
first
is
to
maximize
the
goal
of
the
California
Voting
Rights
Act,
including
civil
rights,
equality
and
inclusion
and
I-
think
I've
already
talked
about
how
important
that
is.
We
want
to
prioritize
the
creation
of
majority-minority
districts
and
where
we
cannot
create
create
an
actual
majority
minority
district.
B
We
still
want
to
create
districts
that
give
greater
influence
to
minority
groups
in
those
districts
so
that
you
may
not
come
to
being
an
actual
majority,
but
it
becomes
a
much
more
significant
plurality
of
voters
to
the
extent
practical
we
are
going
to
try
to
keep
all
of
our
forty-five
neighborhoods
intact.
We
think
we
have
a
great
investment
in
our
neighborhood
organizations.
They
do
an
awful
lot
for
the
city
and
they
help
organize
events
throughout
the
city
and
people
identify
with
their
neighborhood.
So
where
we
can,
we
will
try
to
keep
all
of
those
intact.
B
We
want
to
maintain
the
principle
that
the
best
interest
of
the
city
as
a
whole
remains
the
first
responsibility
of
all
elected
officials,
and
we
think
it's
very
important
that
people
always
remember
you
have
to
put
the
city
first,
but
that
does
not
mean
you
not
representing
your
district
as
well.
It
is
possible
to
take
and
do
both.
That
is
what
we
see
every
single
day
from
our
congressman
from
our
state
senators
from
our
assembly
members.
B
They
represent
their
districts
but
they're
voting
on
issues
that
impact
either
the
entire
state
in
the
entire
country,
and
they
have
an
obligation
to
take
and
work
on
behalf
of
that
that
today,
here
it's
the
city,
we
take
an
oath
of
office
not
to
defend
the
interests
of
our
district.
We
take
an
oath
to
defend
the
Constitution
and
the
city
charter
that
we
have.
B
We
want
to
by
process,
evaluate
our
current
structure
of
government,
all
of
our
Democrat
demographics.
Compare
them
learn
from
other
cities.
We
like
to
believe
we're
like
no
place
else,
but
we
do
have
cities
that
we
have
things
in
common
with
and
we
can
learn
from
their
experiences
and
then
ultimately
recommend
a
structure
of
government
that
is
the
best
to
achieve
the
goals
of
CVRA
and
for
our
long-term
needs.
B
Our
time
plan
for
this
is
to
meet
with
local
neighborhoods
and
interest
groups
over
the
course
of
the
months
of
June
and
July,
and
that
is
a
time
when
we're
going
to
be
concentrating
on
questions
of
communities
of
interests
and
one
of
the
things
we're
really
looking
forward
to
hearing
from
you
tonight.
What
neighborhoods
do
you
want
to
be
sharing
a
district
with
and
why?
What
neighborhoods
would
you
prefer
not
to
be
sharing
a
district
with?
B
And
why
and
we
don't
think
anyone
here
will
be
bashful,
so
please
speak
up
and
nobody's
going
to
get
their
feelings
hurt.
The
second
phase
is
something
that
we're
going
to
start
in,
like
July
and
through
September
that's
developing
maps.
We
will
have
an
opportunity
to
look
at
maps
that
have
four
council
districts
and
an
at-large
mayor.
B
Look
at
maps
that
have
five
districts
and
a
rotating
mayor,
but
that
fundamental
question
of
how
we
govern
ourselves
is
going
to
be
a
decision
that
we
will
make
at
the
first
meeting
in
October
and
vigorously
debate
in
the
month
of
September
at
City.
Council
meetings
as
to
what's
the
most
appropriate
form
of
government
and
I
am
sure
we
will
hear
very
strong
opinions,
both
sides
of
that
issue.
B
Once
we've
made
that
decision
in
October,
we
will
move
to
finalizing
the
maps.
We
will
do
that
in
meetings
in
October
in
November,
and
it
is
at
the
two
meetings
in
December
that
City
Council
will
ultimately
finalize
what
the
maps
are
going
to
look
like
moving
forward
to
elections
that
will
be
held
in
November
of
2019,
and
we
will
have
three
positions
that
will
be
up
in
November
2019.
D
The
goal
would
be
to
get
to
eight
thousand
nine
hundred
residents
in
each
district,
and
then
we
go
on
to
the
federal
Voting
Rights
Act
and
that
primarily
relates
to
ensuring
that
minority
groups
have
a
stronger
voting
power,
so
ensuring
that
there's
no
dilution
of
voting
power
for
the
minority
groups
and
then
next
is
no
racial
gerrymandering,
and
so
that's
really
an
attempt
to
an
attempt
to
segregate
minorities
and
weaken
their
voting
power.
And
so
that's
also
a
criteria
that
is
prohibited.
D
Other
traditional
criteria
include
communities
of
interest
and
we'll
go
with
into
detail
about
what
that
means.
Next
is
that
district
should
be
formed
in
a
way
that
is
contiguous
and
compact
as
possible.
That
doesn't
mean
that
they
need
to
be
perfect
squares,
but
they
can
be
longer
rectangles
and
and
obviously
they're.
Gonna
need
to
follow
the
natural
flows
of
major
roads
and
highways
and
things
that
like
that,
but
they
shouldn't
be
again.
D
They
do
need
to
follow
natural
and
visible
boundaries
such
as
major
roads,
rivers,
lakes,
you
know,
maybe
the
airport
is
a
natural
breaking
point,
other
things
like
that
and
in
addition,
other
criteria
would
include
planning
planned
future
growth
areas.
So
if
there's
a
particular
area
in
the
city,
that's
expected
to
have
development
and
that
those
those
residents
haven't
been
accounted
for,
yet
the
the
districts
could
take
into
account
that
population
growth
as
long
as
it's
still
within
the
variance
that's
allowed.
D
So
when
we
go
into
the
definition
of
communities
of
interest,
I
hope
you
all
take
a
look
at
that
document
that
helps
define
it,
but
some
of
the
normal
or
more
common
criteria
include
school
attendance
areas,
natural
dividing
lines
such
as
highways,
roads,
rivers,
canals
or
Hills
landmark
areas
such
as
parks
or
any
other
kind
of
landmark
area.
I
think
our
downtown
would
count
as
a
landmark
area.
D
Common
issues
such
as
neighborhood
activities,
legislative
or
election
concerns.
Yesterday,
at
the
convention
center,
there
was
an
excellent
example.
I
think
it
was
Kathy
who
pointed
out
that
if
you
live
near
the
airport,
you
might
be
impacted
by
the
airport
noise.
So
obviously
that
might
be
a
community
of
interest
for
those
that
are
impacted
by
that.
D
So
we
need
to
be
able
to
provide
him
with
input
on
what
are
the
communities
of
interest
that
he
can't
see
through
the
natural
dividing
lines,
but
that
you
all
know,
are
your
communities
of
interest
and
want
to
provide
that
input
to
the
City
Council
and
to
the
demographer.
And
then
a
part
of
that
question
is
whether
or
not
a
district
should
be
united
as
one
district
or
whether
it
should
have
multiple
council
members
that
represent
it
and,
for
instance,
that
would
look
like
the
downtown.
D
If
you
were
to
propose
that
either
one
council
member
would
be
primarily
formed
to
represent
the
downtown
area
or
should
it
have
multiple
boundaries
touching
the
downtown
so
that
multiple
council
members
are
responsible
for
representing
it
and
that's
a
decision
that
the
community
needs
to
order.
That's
input
that
we
need
to
hear
from
the
community,
so
the
City
Council
can
make
that
decision.
D
So,
let's
just
say,
desert
Highlands
you'll
be
able
to
take
that
entire
area
and
then
be
able
to
see
the
demographic
makeup
for
that
particular
area
and
then
there's
a
lot
of
other
demographic
information.
That's
available
through
the
tools
and
as
people
are
wanting
more
information.
For
instance,
yesterday
somebody
suggested
that
we
provide
information
about
where
renters
versus
property
owners
are
located
in
the
city,
we'll
be
able
to
have
the
demographer
provide
that
map
and
just
like
how
we
have
these
additional.
D
What
I
call
heat
maps
behind
the
paper
map
we'll
be
able
to
provide
that,
whether
it's
for
renters
income
level,
languages
spoken
education
level?
Things
like
that,
so
as
people
want
that
information
we'll
be
able
to
provide
it
so
where
Latinos
are
particularly
located
in
city
of
Palm
Springs
they're
identified
in
two
areas,
one
is
in
the
desert
highlands
area
and
then
the
second
is
just
south
of
the
airport.
D
So,
as
a
councilmember
Middleton
pointed
out,
we're
going
to
try
to
have
neighborhoods
stay
in
tact
as
much
as
possible.
So
inside
the
districting
tools,
this
map
will
appear
as
a
overlay
so
that,
as
you're
playing
with
the
mapping
systems,
you'll
be
able
to
decide
how
to
incorporate
the
neighborhood
groups
into
the
districts.
D
D
D
So
the
Excel
spreadsheet
tool
will
allow
you
to
go
in
depth
about
how
the
how
you
want
to
draw
these
districts,
and
so
first
off
there's
there's
two
parts
to
it:
there's
the
Excel,
spreadsheet
and
kind
of
a
Google's
map
system
in
which
is
pretty
simple
to
use
and
it's
numbered,
and
so
as
you're
looking
at
that
map,
you'll
be
able
to
say.
Okay,
I
want
to
put
section
1
into
a
particular
district
and
then
in
the
Excel
spreadsheet,
it'll
calculate
the
demographic
totals
as
you're
drawing
that
map.
D
D
D
So
the
focus
of
tonight's
presentation,
though,
is
to
hear
from
all
of
you
about
communities
of
interest.
Again
the
City
Council
needs
to
hear
about
what
what
are
the
criteria
that
you
want
them
to
consider
when
they're,
taking
into
account
all
of
the
various
maps
that
might
be
submitted
and
then
do
you
have
a
preference
on
whether
or
not
the
district
is
represented
by
one
council
member
or
having
multiple
representatives
basically
touch.
You
know,
for
instance,
desert
Highlands,
and
then
what
other
communities
of
interest
in
the
city
should
be
considered
while
drafting
the
maps.
D
So
you
know
I
think
yesterday
was
a
good
example.
Somebody
was
saying
that
could
could
you
consider
your
shopping
centers,
as
you
know,
forming
one
district,
so
perhaps
with
desert
Highlands,
if
there's
a
particular
shopping
area
that
you
use
should
that
be
counted
as
a
district
or
insuring
that
the
park
is
part
of
the
district
or
other
factors
that
the
City
Council
may
not
be
already
considering
that
they
need
to
know
from
you.
D
D
D
And
then
I
just
want
to
give
you
some
samples
of
what
other
cities
have
done.
So,
for
instance,
this
is
the
City
of
Pasadena.
The
City
of
Pasadena
I
wanted
to
ensure
that
again,
their
downtown
had
multiple
councilmembers
representing
it.
So,
as
you
can
see
in
the
downtown
of
Pasadena,
it's
Colorado
Boulevard.
So
what
they
attempted
to
do
was
to
ensure
that
every
Council
District
touched
it
in
some
way
in
the
County
of
San
Luis
Obispo,
because
San
Luis
Obispo
is
the
major
population
area
for
the
county.
D
They
wanted
to
ensure
that
all
of
the
County
Board
of
Supervisors
had
a
role
on
the
on
the
major
city.
So,
with
the
exception
of
one
district
which
just
couldn't
reach
it,
they
were
able
to
divide
the
county
so
that
all
of
the
cities
or
all
of
the
districts
touched
the
city
of
San,
Luis,
Obispo
and
then
last
is
from
the
city
of
South
Pasadena.
D
A
Awesome
just
checking
in
how
are
y'all
feeling
that's
a
lot
of
information
right,
a
lot
all
right.
That's
why
the
City
Council
is
doing
several
of
these
meetings.
So
we
encourage
you
if
this
is
something
that
you're
interested.
Please
continue
to
show
up.
Please
continue
to
reach
out.
Ask
questions.
A
The
next
portion
of
our
evening
will
be
hearing
from
you
all.
With
the
limited
time
we've
had
to
process
some
of
this
information,
but
we
would
like
to
just
open
the
forum
and
start
the
discussion
and
get
that
going
so
I
will
be
calling
on
each
row
and
each
section
one
by
one
to
come
up
to
the
mic
and
provide
some
feedback
with
the
understanding.
A
You
know
if
you're
up
in
the
first
row-
and
you
don't
have
your
thoughts-
that's
quite
all
right
if
I
call
the
second
row-
and
you
happen
to
not
go
on
during
the
first
row-
please
feel
free
to
join
us
and
also
recognizing
that
there
are
folks
in
the
overflow
room
and
if
you'd
like
a
little
bit
more
space,
please
please
feel
free
to
be
in
there.
So
why
don't
we
go
ahead
and
get
it
going?
A
I
will
first,
however,
read
the
questions
posed
to
everyone
here
and
feel
free
to
you
know
speak
to
whatever
you're
most
passionate
about
you
know
so
question
one:
what
is
your
neighborhood
or
community
of
interest?
How
would
you
define
a
community
of
interest
for
yourself
for
your
neighbors
for
your
community
number?
Two?
Do
you
prefer
your
neighborhood
be
kept
together
in
one
district
or
have
multiple
representatives
and
number
three?
What
are
other
communities
of
interest
in
the
city
that
should
be
considered
when
drafting
Maps?
A
A
They
might
not
know
the
subtleties
or
the
differences
between
certain
communities
certain
areas,
so
all
that
feedback
is
very,
very
important
and
then,
of
course,
if
you
have
any
other
questions
related
to
the
presentation
that
Anthony
gave
or
anything
that
councilmember
Jeff,
Kors
or
councilmember
Lisa
Middleton
mentioned,
please
feel
free
to
raise
those
concerns.
So
I'll
start
with
this
yep.
D
Can
I
just
add
so
when
it
comes
to
the
demographers,
drawing
the
maps?
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
yes
he's
going
to
be
drawing
maps
on
behalf
of
the
city,
but
we
really
do
want
to
see
the
maps
that
are
submitted
by
the
residents
and
the
City
Council
will
take
that
into
consideration
and
whatever
map
ends
up
prevailing
as
being
the
best
map.
Whether
it's
the
demographers
or
a
residence
is
ultimately
going
to
be
the
one
that's
selected,
and
then
slight
modifications
may
end
up
being
made
to
that.
A
E
Just
over
here
on
be
escuela
and
Indian
Canyon.
So
that's
my
neighborhood.
It's
not
really
I,
don't
think
it's
part
of
the
neighborhood,
the
41
or
44
neighborhoods.
So
this
is
that
one
area
that
does
it
doesn't
have
a
representation,
but
yeah
I'd
prefer
the
the
neighborhood
be
kept
together
as
far
as
communities
of
interest.
I.
D
Might
and
I
wanted
to
point
out
a
couple
things
if
you
need
the
mic
brought
to
you.
Just
let
me
know
and
we'll
bring
the
mic
over
and
and
also
if
you
have
questions
this
isn't
a
formal
City,
Council
meeting.
So
the
council
or
I
can
respond
to
your
questions
and
then,
if
you
still
have
comments
that
you
want
to
make
after
that
feel
free.
F
Hi,
my
name
is
joy.
Meredith
there
you
go
okay,
so
I
I
did
come
to
the
meeting
last
evening
and
and
speak
as
well,
but
I
think
that
some
of
the
things
most
of
you
were
we're
not
at
that
meeting.
So
I
live
in
the
movie
colony,
East,
neighborhood,
I
own,
a
business
in
downtown
Palm,
Springs
and
I,
also
own
a
business
in
the
desert,
Highland,
neighborhood
and
so
I.
F
I
think
that
there
are
a
lot
of
different
needs
that
everybody
has
here
and
as
far
as
the
actual
working
on
the
map,
I
did
try
to
work
on
that
last
night,
and
there
are
so
many
other
little
details
that
matter.
Like
maybe
financial
demographics.
You
know
trying
to
make
sure
that
people
that
are
more
disadvantaged,
it
could
be
represented
better
right
now
from
what
we
have
in
your
in
your
handout.
It
deals
with
three
different
racial
communities
and
I
I.
F
I
thought
I
had
it
in
my
purse,
but
I
didn't,
because
it
might
be
helpful
if,
if
you
let
people
know
what
was
discussed
last
night
as
far
as
what
sort
of
ideas
people
were
throwing
out
there
just
to
get
your
you
know
your
juices
flow
in
on
what
it
is
that
that
might
help
to
bring
this
out
in
the
community.
Thank
you.
D
Row
right
here
so
some
of
the
ideas
that
were
thrown
around
last
night
as
far
as
more
information
that
people
want
to
see
and
which
will
be
posted
online
is
they
wanted
to
see
kind
of
the
age
makeup
for
the
city,
so
I
believe
our
demographer
will
be
will
provide
a
heat
map
on
the
age
differences
within
the
city.
In
addition,
we'll
have
renters
versus
property
owners
online
and
then
income
level.
That's
the
second
time,
I've
heard
that
so
we'll
also
ensure
that
we
get
a
income
level
map,
that's
posted
online.
A
G
Comment
may
seem
a
little
laughable,
but
I
really
don't
consider
it
the
B
so
considering
the
fact
that
we
have
an
entire
LGBTQ
council
and
mayor
I
would
be
concerned
that
in
number
three,
that
the
LGBTQ
community
be
represented,
because
I
really
do
not
feel
that
they
are
in
a
majority
position.
Despite
the
makeup
of
the
mayor
and
council,
I
would
like
to
see
if
there
were
demographics
available
on
same-sex
households
that
we
could
also
take
into
consideration.
Thank
you.
C
Just
quickly
in
response,
I
believe
in
the
2010
census,
while
there
wasn't
a
LGBT
specific
question,
there
was
a
way
to
identify
if
you
were
at
a
same-sex
partner
living
in
the
household.
So
if
there
are
couples
that
is
some
data
we
can
get.
My
understanding
is
the
current
administration
plans
to
get
rid
of
that
in
the
2020
census.
So
we
may
not
have
that
in
the
future,
but
the
state
actually
has
been
asking
questions
in
several
ways
and
that
data
may
be
available
for
us
as
well.
H
Hi
I'm
rusty
Kaplan
on
his
husband,
I
love
maps
and
I,
like
picking
landmarks
up,
I,
think
there's
quite
a
few
mistakes
on
this
map.
Highway
111
is
not
where
it
is
that
goes
north
on
gene
autry
and
left
on
Vista
Chino
until
it
hits
Palm
Canyon.
It's
not
written
that
way
and
I
think
that
you
mentioned
that
you
want
major
streets
to
be
border
lines
and
I
think
that
that
mistake
could
have
a
big
influence
on
on
what
people
choose.
B
I
think
it's
a
little
unclear
as
far
as
111.
Actually,
if
you
look
very
closely,
it
shows
111
up
at
the
north
end
where
it
is
111
and
111
down
at
the
south
end
just
east
of
Gene,
Autry
and
Palm
Canyon
actually
does
become
111
at
that
point,
but
there's
no
indication
of
where
111
is
as
it
moves
through
the
city
on
the
color
map.
C
D
Want
to
mention
that
comes
member
Kors
brought
up
the
2020
census,
which
is
a
good
point
that
came
up
yesterday
so
because
the
census
is
done
every
10
years.
There's
a
requirement
in
the
government
code
that
districts
be
redrawn
every
time
the
census
is
updated.
So
after
the
2020
census,
approximately
March
of
21,
the
city
will
be
getting
that
demographic
data
and
then
it
will
need
to
modify
the
districts
again
to
account
for
the
population
shifts
or
the
population
growth
within
the
city.
B
Some
of
that
is
going
to
become
most
prominent,
is
here
at
the
north
end
of
town,
because
most
of
the
new
development
has
taken
place
at
the
north
end.
If
you
look
at
the
residence
numbers
for
the
escena
area,
it's
very
clear
that
that
is
dated
information
going
back
to
2010,
but
that's
the
census
data
that
we
have
right
now
to
work
from.
I
C
D
So
so
I
just
to
expand
a
little
bit.
Many
cities
in
California
have
a
rotating
mayor
and
honestly
from
I've,
worked
in
six
cities
and
most
of
them
have
a
rotating
mayor.
And
so
what
occurs
is
there's
a
mayor
and
a
vice
mayor
and
then
each
year
the
council
members
decide
amongst
themselves
who
should
be
the
mayor
for
that
year
and
the
mayor
plays
a
ceremonial
role.
It
doesn't
have
any
more
greater
power
than
the
rest
of
the
City
Council
members
and
then
in
addition,
under
the
city's
charter.
D
Currently
the
mayor's
role
is
primarily
ceremonial
and
function
and
a
spokesperson
for
the
city,
but
a
non-exclusive
spokesperson
for
the
city.
But
the
voting
power
is
the
same
among
the
council
members,
in
addition,
so
but
but
it
rotates
and
typically
it's
a
one-year
term
and
then
the
next
year
it
be
one
of
the
other
council
members.
J
My
name
is
Tobias
wolf
I'm,
one
of
the
members
of
the
task
force
and
I
just
wanted
to
build
a
little
bit
on
what
Anthony
said,
because
this
is
a
really
important
point.
So
the
city
charter
provides
that
we
have
a
five-member
City
Council
now
today,
and
the
mayor
is
a
member
of
the
City
Council
right
and
Anthony
said
this,
but
I
think
it's
worth
saying
again.
The
mayor
of
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
doesn't
have
any
power
other
than
the
power
of
a
member
of
the
City
Council
right.
J
What
the
mayor
does,
according
to
the
Charter,
is
serves
on
the
City
Council
votes
as
a
member
of
the
City
Council
and
presides
over
the
meetings
meeting
you
know
the
mayor
is
the
one
who
calls
it
to
order
and
that
kind
of
thing
lots
of
cities,
mostly
much
bigger
cities,
have
a
mayor
who
actually
runs
the
city
right.
A
mayor
who
manages
the
city
a
mayor
who
the
city
staff
answers
to
directly.
J
This
is
all
about
basically
how
City
Council
is
structured
with
the
mayor
as
a
member
of
City
Council,
and
so
when
we
talk
about
five
districts
versus
four
districts,
what
we're
talking
about
is
having
all
the
members
of
the
City
Council
elected
the
same
way,
which
is
by
districts
and
then
the
reason
that
you
go
to
this
thing.
A
rotating
mayor
is
because,
when
you
have
a
city
disorganized
that
way,
the
members
of
City
Council
then
have
to
select
a
mayor
somehow
from
among
their
ranks
to
serve
in
that
sort
of
ceremonial
function.
J
It's
just
talk
with
our
fellow
residents
about
how
the
government
actually
operates,
and
that's
one
of
the
things
that
I
didn't
know
until
I
moved
to
Palm,
Springs,
I'm
I
should
say
by
the
way
I
think
I'm,
the
only
part-time
resident
on
the
task
force,
so
I'm,
a
very
proud
resident
of
Palm
Springs
five
months
out
of
the
year
and
as
soon
as
I
can
arrange
my
life
so
that
I'm
here
all
year,
believe
me
I'll.
Do
it
but
I'm
still
working
on
it.
J
But
anyway,
one
of
the
things
we
discovered
is
that
people
haven't
ever
had
occasion
to
have
like
an
extended
conversation
about
how
the
mayor
works
and
how
the
City
Council
works.
So
that's
part
of
a
goal
here
and
lots
and
lots
of
cities
I
think
the
overwhelming
majority
of
cities
our
size
in
California
have
something
like
a
rotating
mayor
where
you
elect
them
out
of
City
Council
and
then
the
mayor
either
is
selected
by
the
City
Council
or
it
rotates
through
the
districts
and
those
various
different
options.
K
It's
not
a
welcoming
understanding
of
this
neighborhood
that
I've
already
I
have
had
in
a
lot
in
a
couple
of
six
months
that
I've
been
here
it
it.
It
doesn't
look
good,
so
I
highly
recommend
the
wording
being
changed
because
then
it
lets
other
communities
know
that
there's
only
four
percent
of
us
here
and
it
only
doesn't
matter
it
doesn't
matter,
because
it's
only
four
percent.
So
think
your.
A
G
I
guess
I
just
had
a
question.
My
name
is
probably
Rickman.
I
had
a
question:
when
are
you
guys
gonna
implement
this
and
have
you
guys
thought
about
some
of
the
communities
have
more
seniors
and
not
really
access
to
the
computer
and
so
on
and
so
forth?
Have
you
guys
actually
thought
about
getting
out
to
people
who
are
disabled
people
who
don't
have
access
to
computers,
people
who
don't
have
income
to
be
able
to
get
on
the
computer?
How
are
you
guys
going
to
include
them
into
the
loading
and
into
the
process?
G
B
C
Out,
okay
and
every
address
in
the
city
should
have
received
a
mailing
about
these
and
other
ways
to
engage,
but
we
are
going
to
do
you
know
we're
meeting
with
1ps.
We
actually
have
a
meeting
where
this
is
going
to
be
discussed
with
at
the
Mizell
Senior
Center,
with
senior
providers
to
find
out
how
we
can
reach
the
senior
community.
So
that's
a
really
good
point
and
we
will
do
some
outreach
to
the
disabled
community
as
well,
which
is
important.
So
thank.
D
And
if
there
is
somebody
who
wants
to
use
a
computer
but
doesn't
have
one
at
home,
they
can
always
go
to
the
public
library,
use
the
computers
there
and
and
if
there's
any
need
for
assistance,
I'm
happy
to
either
do
it
by
phone
or
if
they
want
to
come
to
my
office,
I'm
happy
to
provide
anybody
with
assistance
and
using
to
toll
it
is
complicated.
But
honestly,
with
maybe
twenty
thirty
minutes
of
a
little
bit
of
a
tutorial,
it
gets
a
lot
easier.
A
H
L
L
The
mayor
should
be
it
shouldn't,
be
a
rotating
saying
because
everybody
can't
be
a
mayor,
you
know,
and
then
you
set
yourself
up
for
maybe
businesses
won't
come
into
the
area
because
there's
no
structure
but
when
I,
when
I,
when
I
look
at
this
and
and
I'm
here
and
I'm.
Listening
to
you
explain
it.
It's
like
garble,
garble
garble,
but
I
am
computer
literate.
L
So
for
those
of
us
who
are
seniors,
who
are
not
so
computer
literate
who
are
not
so
savvy
as
to
what
this
garble
is
saying
to
me,
it
needs
to
be
broken
down
a
bit
more
because,
first
of
all,
you
have
to
understand.
You
have
a
huge
senior
population
here,
a
huge
senior
population,
a
huge
collection
of
people
who
pay
taxes.
Here
you
have
a
huge
collection
of
people
who
work
and
we
get
to
work
seasonal
for
some
ungodly
reason.
L
I,
don't
know
so
you
know
just
it's
the
seasonal
work,
but
we
do
pay
our
taxes.
So
you
know
when
you
look
at
these
and
you
look
at
these
different
neighborhoods
and
these
different
communities
and
you
try
to
read
the
small
print
you
try
to
say,
go
to
this
map
and
go
to
that
draw.
You
know
I'm
just
a
little
concern,
because
the
downtown
that
seems
to
be
growing,
but
what
about
the
outlying
areas
and
then,
as
you
get
people
who
come
in
and
build,
you
know
like
they
got.
L
The
new
addition
going
in
over
here
is
that
pushing
other
people
out
of
the
way.
So
my
thing
is
these
meetings
are
great
and
these
meetings
are
helpful
for
me
to
get
up
and
talk
about
it.
But
it's
like
you're
talking
over
people's
heads,
so
people
a
lot
of
people
are
not
understanding
what
everybody
is
saying.
You
know
and
I
just
don't
think
it's
really
fair,
because
again
it's
like
taxation
without
representation.
If
you're
gonna
represent
me,
then
you
need
to
break
it
down
all
the
way
down
to
where
I
can
understand.
L
This
and
I
can
input
my
two
cents
and
be
accommodative
Oh
to
me
so
I
can
say
this
is
what
we
want.
This
is
what
the
neighborhood
wants.
This
is
how
it
should
affect
me.
You
know,
but
this
is.
This
is
just
me
in
my
viewpoint,
because
I'm
listening
and
I'm
really
good
at
using
the
computer.
But
when
I
listen
to
you,
talk
and
I'm,
trying
to
read
this
trying
to
go
along
with
you,
I
don't
make
no
sense
to
me.
It
absolutely
don't
make
no
sense.
L
They're,
like
the
young
ladies
saying
the
wording
where
it
says
only
because
in
the
James
O
Jesse
Center
is
not
only
african-american
people,
it
is
not
only
people
in
the
gateway
community.
There
are
other
african-americans
that
lives
in
other
parts
of
Palm
Springs,
and
that
needs
to
be
recognized,
and
you
need
to
find
another
way
to
say
that
and
when
you
say
particularly
the
Latinos
particularly
live
over
here,
but
you
need
to
be
a
little
bit
more
extensive
because
you
all
are
the
City
Council
and
you
represent
everybody
in
Palm
Springs.
L
So,
whatever
areas
you
represent,
what
you
should
know
you
should
know,
and
when
you
come
to
the
meeting,
you
should
be
more
specific
and
know
this
is
what
area
we
represent,
and
this
is
who
who
lives
here
and
who
lives
there,
because
it
goes
from
working
class
to
people
who
are
retired
to
people
in
convalescent
centers,
to
you
know,
people
who
are
here
part-time
full-time
here
to
understand
that
people
who've
been
living
here
all
they
like.
So
what
the
think
about
that
we
have
school
districts.
You
know
we
have
all
this
stuff.
B
B
G
I
mean
you
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
believe
the
whole
purpose
of
this
is
to
put
everybody
together.
Well
to
me,
it
seems
like
looking
at
the
maps
and
things
everybody
segregated.
It's
still
putting
us
back
in
the
same
situation
that
we've
been
in,
and
you
know
to
have
representation.
It's
fine,
but
still
the
person
that
we
have
to
represent
us
is
that
the
person
that
we're
going
to
have
to
actually
represent
us.
G
B
G
A
One
second,
so
I,
we
appreciate
all
the
feedback,
all
the
commentary.
We
will
ask
if
you
could
wait,
so
you
get
a
mic
so
that
way,
folks
that
are
online
can
hear
for
access,
but
we
want.
We
want
to
continue
this
conversation
and
it's
really
hard
to
have
a
conversation
when
there's
only
like
one
mic
right
so.
D
And
so
the
intent
of
the
CRA
is
to
strengthen
the
power
by
breaking
the
city
into
smaller
units,
so
that
now,
when
you
go
out
to
vote,
if
that
community
again
decides
that
they
want
to
concentrate
their
voting
power
on
to
a
particular
candidate
there'll,
be
a
higher
likelihood
that
that
person
will
get
elected.
So
when
we're
looking
at
breaking
up
the
city
into
districts,
we're
saying
okay,
if
you
think
that
you
vote
more
likely
with
other
African
Americans,
then
we
should
try
to
concentrate
the
number
of
African
Americans
in
that
district.
D
But
if
that's
not
how
you
vote,
if
you
think
that
you
vote
more
along
the
lines
of
income
level-
and
you
want
somebody
who
represents
people
who,
maybe
you
need
bring
control
in
the
city
and
you
need
a
stronger
rent
control
ordinance,
then
it
currently
exists.
Then
you're
looking
at
candidate,
who
might
be
low-income
and
has
the
experiences
of
somebody
who
wants
rent
control-
and
in
that
case,
that's
how
you
identify
that.
D
M
M
M
L
G
A
The
last
couple
rows
back
there
does
anyone
have
any
comments
and
then
I'll
ask
the
folks
in
the
overflow
room
if
they
have
comments
to
that
point
really
quickly.
So,
as
a
member
of
the
working
group,
one
of
the
things
that
I've
offered
please
step
up
to
the
mic,
if
you
have
a
comment
like
I've
met
with
other
folks
as
part
of
the
working
group
like
one-on-one,
we've
just
met
up
for
coffee
and
we've
like
talked
about
these
things,
one-on-one.
A
Sometimes
it's
easier
when
it's
a
smaller
group
to
make
sure
that
everyone
feels
like
you
know
they
have
time
to
ask
in-depth
questions,
because
it
is
a
lot
of
information
and
it
is
a
lot
that
we're
doing
so
like
I'd
like
to
offer.
You
know
my
I've
off
I've
offered
Dixie
that,
like
I'll,
come
to
your
house,
you
know
one
day
and
like
let's
just
go
over
it
right.
A
H
My
name
is
Steve
Moses
and
I'm,
a
member
of
the
task
force
and
I
as
I
heard,
the
concerns
in
the
later
questions
or
statements.
I
think
it's
important
to
understand.
The
purpose
of
districts
is
to
give
more
strength
and
more
value
to
the
voice
of
people
than
they
get
if
they're
just
one
of
a
whole
city
and
the
struggle
we're
having-
and
this
is
just
the
beginning
to
get
it
done-
is
to
create
districts
neighborhoods
areas
of
interest
so
that
persons
voting
they
are
have
more
of
a
percentage
of
probability
of
being
heard.
H
H
It's
a
lot
to
go
over
I,
for
one
would
be
perfectly
willing
to
have
another
meeting
in
this
neighborhood
or
more
than
one
and
we're
we're
available
to
answer
questions
and
to
talk
with
you
we're
trying
to
learn
what
does
each
area
each
neighborhood
want,
so
that
we
can
properly
combine
them
with
other
region,
aber
hoods
who
are
adjacent
and
draw
those
lines
so
that
your
voice
is
being
unified.
That's
the
intent.
J
Thank
you,
I
just
want
to
echo
what
Steve
said
I'm
very
happy
to
make
myself
available,
with
probably
some
help
from
Alexis
in
small
meetings
with
folks.
You
know
one-on-one
meetings,
if
that's
what's
most
helpful,
and
let
me
just
emphasize
in
particular
all
the
comments
about
you
all
are
going
about
this
the
wrong
way.
That
is
why
we
are
here
like
we
are
not
here,
because
we
think
we
know
how
to
do
this
and
we're
here
to
tell
you
how
we're
gonna
do
it.
J
We
heard
to
get
marching
orders
from
you
about
how
to
go
about
at
the
very
he's
advising
the
City,
Council
and
so
questions
about
you
know
what
is
what
kind
of
experience
is
it
going
to
for
a
neighborhood
to
go
through
this
process
of
being
put
together
with
other
neighborhoods?
We
need
to
hear
that
from
you
and
the
City
Council
needs
to
hear
that
from
you
and
the
point
that
the
lady
made
that
this
is
a
neighborhood,
that
a
lot
of
other
neighborhoods
know
more
about
us
than
we
know
about
them.
J
The
point
is
for
us
to
help
get
all
of
your
views
in
front
of
the
City
Council,
that's
the
charge
of
our
working
group,
and
so,
if
you're
partly
frustrated,
because
you
feel
like
this
is
a
process
that
you
don't
know
exactly.
You
know
what
factors
are
going
to
be
the
factors
that
determine
how
these
districts
get
drawn.
J
That's
like
we
don't
either
like
that's
the
whole
point
of
this
process,
and
and
you
all
explaining
to
us
here
are
the
things
that
are
most
important
to
me
when
I
think
about
how
I
want
a
district
that
I'm
a
part
of
to
be
put
together.
That's
that's
what
we
all
need
to
hear
about
and
that's
what
we
are
going
to
try
to
advise
the
City
Council
on
and
when
they
make
the
final
decision.
J
G
C
So
under
California
state
law,
once
the
city
decides
to
move
forward
with
this
process,
we're
supposed
to
get
it
all
done
in
45
days
with
four
public
hearings
and
council
meetings
and
that's
what
a
lot
of
governments
are
doing,
we
actually
reached
out
to
the
attorney
representing
the
Voting
Rights
organization
and
said
you
know
we
need
more
time.
This
is
very
complicated.
We're
all
learning
this
new
for
the
first
time
and
I,
don't
know
anyone
who's
gotten
as
much
time,
but
they
agreed
to
give
us
till
the
end
of
the
year
to
finalize
everything.
C
So,
instead
of
doing
four
meetings,
you
know
we're
gonna
be
doing
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
meetings.
This
is
the
first
set
you
know
this
week,
but
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
these
throughout
the
process.
We'll
come
back
as
much
as
people
want
and
answer
as
many
questions,
but
that
that
is
how
the
process
works.
C
C
C
Yes,
because
the
earliest
as'll
will
have
a
vote
in
districts
will
be
2019
by
the
time.
There's
an
election
in
2021
the
districts
will
change
so
we'll
have
some
that's
when
I
think
we'll
have
the
experience
and
we
can
make
adjustments
not
just
based
on
population
but
based
on
how
it's
worked,
how
it
hasn't
worked,
because
it
is
new
for
every
single
one
of
us
to
be
going
through
this.
C
None
of
us
on
the
council
have
gone
through
it
and
that's
why
we're
out
here
and
in
addition
to
subcommittee
two
other
council
members
are
here,
because
we
really
do
want
input
in
how
we
think
about
this
and
all
the
inputs
been
really
helpful
tonight.
So
I
really
appreciate
people
speaking
and
people
listening,
because
that's
how
we're
going
to
do
this
as
best
as
possible.
Hi.
G
G
You
know
and
I've
heard
people
say
well
when
you
come
to
Palm
Springs,
don't
go
to
the
north
end,
don't
go
to
the
north
end
when
they
help
us
to
erase
some
of
that
because
we
have
representation
and,
secondly,
we'll
help
more
businesses
to
come
into
the
community,
because
we
know
that
we
spend
most
of
our
dollars
out
of
the
community
rather
than
in
the
community.
So
will
that
help
businesses
come
because
we
have
representation.
We
have
a
voice.
B
Someone
who's
going
to
be
elected
from
this
area
and
instead
of
having
to
answer
to
40,000
people
we'll
have
to
answer
to
to
about
ten,
and
that
means
that
the
voice
of
the
fifteen.
Sixteen
hundred
people
that
live
in
this
neighborhood
is
going
to
be
much
stronger
with
it
for
that
individual,
and
so
that
is
one
of
the
fundamental
goals
of
moving
to
this
is
so
that
every
voice
is
heard
at
City
Hall
and
we'll
be
looking
forward
to
working
with
you
to
make
that
happen.
F
L
I'm
just
curious
because
a
lot
of
this
is
tribal
land
and
we
are
trying
to
redistricting
or
just
create
districts
now,
because
it's
tribal
land
and
if
we
decided
we
have
districts,
there's
a
lot
of
federal
funding
out
there
for
the
various
different
things,
and
we
have
to
even
consider
the
businesses
that
come
in
now
we
have
to
take
in
consideration
that
the
tribes
may
not
like
some
of
this
stuff
and
they
may
not.
Let
businesses
come
in.
L
So
do
we
have
to
be
concerned
with
that,
because
we
have
to
figure
out
where
to
checkerboard
pattern
is
for
the
tribes
in
the
in
the
area.
This,
like
they're,
making
the
post
office
move.
You
know
you
hate
to
start
something
and
the
tribe
step
in
and
say
no
or
you
try
to
get
some
federal
funding
and
they
say
no,
you
can't
get
it
because
your
tribal
property,
so
is
that.
Does
that
flip?
L
B
Could
conceivably
play
a
role
the
tribe
is,
is
not
likely
to
get
involved
in
what
a
district
looks
like,
but
when
you
start
talking
about
communities
of
interest
bringing
together
a
number
of
individuals
that
are
on
leased,
land
versus
on
feel,
and
certainly
people
who
are
on
leased
land
have
an
awful
lot
in
common
and
may
want
to
be
true,
join
together
as
much
as
possible.
We
haven't
heard
that
yet,
but
it's
certainly
something
that
we're
listening
for
to
to
get
reactions.
F
There's
something
very
exciting
about
all
this
and
I
want
to
tell
you
what
that
excitement
is.
Is
that
currently
it
costs
about
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars?
If
you
want
to
run
for
office
here?
Is
that
accurate?
That's
what
it's
been
costing
so
look
at
this,
though,
when
you
go
now,
when
you
go
now
into
districts
all
of
a
sudden.
Now
you
only
need
to
reach
20%
of
the
city.
F
If
we
go
into
five
districts
right
so
now,
people
that
before
could
not
afford
to
run
for
office
could
run
for
office
regardless
of
these
districts.
Okay,
you
and
you
and
you
and
you
and
you
and
you
everybody
would
be
on
a
much
more
level
playing
field
to
be
able
hold.
Those
offices
not
just
be
the
citizens
in
those
districts,
and
that
to
me
I
think,
is
something
that
is
very
important,
particularly
in
this
community,
where
it
might
have
seemed
too
many
that
there
would
never
be
an
opportunity
to
because
of
that
income
level.
F
B
D
Well,
I
mean
federal
law,
prohibits
gerrymandering,
and
if
there
is
gerrymandering
anybody
can
bring
a
lawsuit
too.
You
know
reverse
those
maps,
but
ultimately
the
City
Council's,
as
far
as
transparency
goes,
is
going
to
ensure
that
all
of
the
maps
are
posted
online.
So
everybody
in
the
community
can
review
those
maps
provide
comments.
Those
maps
are
gonna,
be
posted
online
will
have
copies
available
as
they're
being
published
at
the
community
center,
so
seniors,
who
may
not
have
access
to
those
computers
can
still
review
those
maps.
D
C
One
difference
probably
and
yes,
federal
law
does
prohibit
gerrymandering,
especially
racial
gerrymandering,
but
it
happens
on
the
court
allows
it.
So,
let's
be
I
can
say
that
sure,
in
a
different
way.
California
law
is
much
stronger
than
federal
law,
California
courts,
a
much
stronger,
honor
enforcing
voting
rights
in
federal
law,
and
it's
the
reason.
The
entire
Council
unanimously
set
the
top
priority
as
achieving
the
goals
of
the
California
Voting
Rights
Act
in
every
map.
We're
gonna
look
through
that
lens.
C
Are
we
achieving
the
goal
to
end
racially
polarized
voting
and
give
more
power
to
protective
minorities?
That
is
our
number
one
priority
for
all
five
of
us.
We
made
that
decision
together.
The
working
group
recommended
it
unanimously,
so
I
think
there
have
been
some
bad
federal
cases
in
my
view
that
have
allowed
German
during
to
happen
while
saying
they're
not,
and
we're
not
going
to
do
that
here
in
California
does
not
ever
allow
that
and
the
courts
have
been
very
good
in
California
on
that.
C
But
it's
an
important
point
because
if
you
read
the
paper
you're
realizing
the
Supreme
Court
is
sort
of
allowed
some
bad
gerrymandering
to
happen,
and
that
won't
happen
here.
But
thank
you
for
bringing
that
up
because
I
want
people
to
know.
There
is
a
real
distinction.
California's
law
is
much
stronger
than
federal
law
and
that's
a
commitment.
We've
all
made
our
goal.
C
D
There
are
applications
to
apply
for
boards
and
commissions
and
then
a
pink
sheet
that
describes
each
of
the
boards
and
commissions
when
they
meet
how
the
board
is
formed
and
what
the
subject
matter
is
of
those
boards
and
commissions
and
again,
that's
a
great
opportunity
for
everyday
citizens
who
don't
want
to
run
for
an
elected
office
to
be
able
to
influence
the
City
Council's
policy
decisions
and
projects
that
are
implemented
throughout
the
city.
So
the
appointment
process
will
begin
in
November
in
December
and
then
new
members
will
be
in
their
terms
in
January.
D
C
To
follow
up
on
that,
if
anyone
here
or
if
you
know
anyone
who's
interested
in
learning
more
about
the
boards
and
commissions
what
they
do,
what
the
time
commitment
is
please
reach
out.
I'm
sure
everyone
on
City
Council
would
be
happy
to
me.
I'm
happy
to
meet
with
anyone
and
just
go
over
the
list,
explain
what
they
are,
because
that
is
a
really
good
way
with
less
time
than
being
on
council
for
those
who
work
full
time
p.m.
councils,
a
challenge
and
we're
also
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
fix
that.
C
But
if
you're
interested,
please
just
to
reach
out
I'm,
happy
I,
know,
I'm
sure,
Christie
and
mayor
moon
and
jr.
would
be
happy
to
sit
down
and
go
through
the
list.
So
all
of
our
emails
are
on
the
website.
If
you
want
my
email,
just
let
me
know
when
we're
done
and
I'd
be
happy
to
meet
with
you
on
that.
G
My
name
is
Sid
Craig
I'm
on
my
third
commission
and
I'm.
Only
saying
this
to
encourage
all
of
you.
We
are
the
public.
We
are.
The
community
were
the
people
that
make
things
happen
in
this
city
and
being
part
of
it.
I
sit
on
boards
and
commissions
with
people
like
Dixie.
Who
will
tell
you
being
involved
in
this
community?
You
have
a
voice,
so
when
I
hear
people
say
they
don't
like
the
way
things
are
being
done.
Joe
and
I
have
been
involved.
The
people
that
get
up
and
speak
make
a
difference.
G
O
C
Thank
you.
It's
a
really
important
point
and
the
broader
task
force
previously
and
Lisa
and
I
actually
have
proposals
we're
going
to
be
bringing
it
to
Council
to
have
the
meetings
after
work
hours,
because
you
know
a
lot
of
City
Council's
in
the
Coachella
Valley
meet
in
the
middle
of
the
day
and
they're
all
like
you
get
so
much
more
public
comment
I'm
like
because
we
do
it
when
people
aren't
working,
and
so
we
really
it's
gonna,
be
a
discussion
for
council.
C
But
our
recommendation
is
that
we
move
them
and
we
need
to
get
that
done
before
this
process
ends
because
it
does
not
only
can
make
it
hard
to
serve.
It
makes
it
hard
to
come
and
testify.
If
you
want
to
come
and
say,
I
don't
want
that
project
in
my
neighborhood
or
you
know,
we
need
this
in
our
Park.
If
you're
working,
you
can't
take
off
three
or
four
hours
from
work
to
go
to
the
meeting.
So
it's
a
really
good
point
in
something
we
are
planning
on
recommending
to
the
entire
council.
A
O
B
D
N
Evening
my
name
is
Dee
sock,
Gaston,
he's
mentioning
what
we're
doing,
and
the
council
is
definitely
doing
its
best
to
make
everything
in
in
both
languages
to
outreach
as
much
as
possible
we're
going
business
to
business
and
and
and
throughout
the
city.
It's
a
complicated
process.
It
takes
a
while.
So
just
like
you're
mentioning
you
need
more
time,
we
do
intend
to
reach
out
as
much
as
possible
and
there
has
been
a
disconnect
and
throughout
this
process.
This
is
exactly
why
the
community
needs
to
get
involved
now,
so
that
disconnect
does
not
continue.
N
So
your
comments
are
incredibly
important.
We
do
hope
that
more
Latinos
are
feel
the
need
to
participate
in.
They
feel
included
in
this
process,
and
the
council
is
doing
all
the
steps
up
to
this
point
to
make
sure
that
that
happens.
So
if
anyone
knows
Latinos,
you
know
you
know
you're
going
to
the
taco
shop
or
whoever
it
is.
We
want
to
hear
from
them
if
anyone's
watching
at
home
your
voice
is,
it
is
important.
We
want
you
to
come
support.
A
C
A
D
A
O'clock
and
one
of
the
things
I
wanted
to
mention
with
regards
to
deters
come
in
and
I
think
I
mentioned
this
to
you
before,
like
I
I
grew
up
on
San
Rafael,
like
I,
was
born
and
raised.
There
I
came
to
the
Baptist
Church
for
a
preschool
and
like
all
the
folks
that
I
know
who
lived
in
that
area
and
like
in
Golden,
Sands
and
stuff,
like
none
of
them
live
here
anymore,
right
like
oh,
my
family
has
moved
to
cat
city,
so
so
T's
locks
point
is
like
really
really
powerful.
A
If
you
know
folks
who
are
Latino
who
live,
especially
in
some
of
these
neighborhoods
who
aren't
organized
right
because
not
all
the
neighborhoods
are
organized,
please
connect
them
to
us.
Please
connect
them
to
the
working
group
to
me,
because
that's
that's
part
of
that.
This
is
all
part
of
the
process
right
and
like
I'm,
a
lifelong
Palm,
Springs
resident.
So
for
me,
it's
not
it's
not
just
about
this
process,
it's
long
term!
So
like
that's
what
what
I'm
here
for
personally.
N
This
is
a
complicated
process
and
just
like
not
all
african-americans
live
in
this
community,
not
all
Latinos
only
speak
Spanish,
so
the
process
is
just
about
really
community
at
large,
and
so
everyone
working
together
and
talking
to
your
neighbors
and
the
people
that
you
come
across,
so
it
really
the
people
in
this
room
I
need
to
serve
as
ambassadors
to
the
community
at
large.
So
you
know
if
you
can
reach
out
to
others.
N
O
The
Hispanic
community,
because
when
you
were
asked
in
the
communities
of
interest,
I
think
that
we
do
have
things
in
common
with
them
as
far
as
kids
in
the
household
things
of
that
nature,
socioeconomic
status,
where
geographically
close
to
the
CV
link.
Whatever
you
have
it,
you
know,
and
we
don't
want
to
be
bunched
in
with
older
Las
Palmas
little
Tuscany
and
Vista
Las
Palmas
movie
colony,
and
then
we
just
lose
our
vote.
We're
already
4%
as
it
is.
A
B
Folks,
we're
trying
to
get
this
right.
We're
gonna
make
some
mistakes
along
the
way,
but
we
are
here
to
listen
and
to
learn
and
we're
gonna
stick
around
here
for
a
while
after
this
meetings
over.
So
we
can
talk
with
you,
one-on-one
and
I
can't
tell
you
it'll,
be
perfect
when
it's
all
over
at
the
end
of
this
year,
but
we're
gonna
do
our
best
to
get
it
right.
