A
B
C
So
let's
go
ahead
and
get
going
again
and
thank
you
and
I
forgot
to
introduce
myself
but
I'm
Lisa
Middleton
from
Palm
Springs
City
Council
member,
along
with
councilmember
Coors
of
the
Subcommittee
on
districting
and
I,
am
joined
by
our
incredible
City,
Clerk
Anthony
Mejia.
So
first
we
would
like
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
have
regarding
the
maps
the
process,
and
so
are
there
any.
C
Terms
of
mayor
moon,
councilmember,
Roberts
and
councilmember
Coors
end
in
2019.
So
unless
we
extend
everybody
and
that's
a
whole
long
discussion
expect
that
those
three
gentlemen
will
be
up
for
re-election.
If
they
choose
to
run
in
2019,
councilmember,
holstege
and
I
were
have
been
elected
through
2021
and
we
will
be
serving
through
2021.
C
Three
of
the
maps-
the
dieter
Crawford
map,
the
Adobe
map
and
the
prowl
map
is
Donald
Frell
each
one
of
those
are
three
gentlemen
who
live
here
in
Palm
Springs
and
responding
to
the
opportunity
to
draw
maps
drew
maps.
The
agave
and
Smoketree
map
were
drawn
by
the
professional
demographers
and
NDC
stands
for
national
demographic
corporation
and
in
DC
has
probably
drawn
more
maps
in
California
than
any
other
firm.
At
this
point,.
F
F
C
D
C
G
C
G
Follows
on
both
of
Carl's
questions.
In
essence,
districts
could
be
without
any
representation
in
the
after
the
first
election,
because
district
could
be
represented
by
both
Christy
and
and
Lisa,
not
that
you're
representing
the
district,
but
your
at-large
and
a
person
who
lives
in
your
district
could
be
elected,
so
there'd
be
only
two
other
districts
that
could
be
represented.
That's
a
little
that.
C
C
C
E
So
so
sequencing
of
Elections
is
all
part
of
this
public
hearing
process
so
beginning
on.
Once
council
narrows
it
down
to
its
top
one
or
two
maps.
The
demographers
will
come
back.
Look
at
the
maps,
propose
a
sequence
of
elections
based
on
the
districts
and
where
the
incumbents
lives,
they'll,
use
some
common
sense
applicability
and
looking
at
if
you've
got
the
three
council
members
who
are
terms
up,
and
it
makes
sense
to
then
proceed
with
having
elections
in
one
two
and
three.
E
If
I'm
looking
at
the
agave
map,
then
that's
what
they'll
propose
to
City
Council
and
unless
City
Council
wants
to
make
some
modification
to
that
sequence.
That
would
be
the
sequence
associated
with
the
map,
but
then,
but
the
community
will
will
have
an
opportunity
to
provide
that
input.
Definitely
on
November
29th,
because
it's
part
of
the
public
hearing
process
we
do
have
to
address
the
sequence
of
Elections.
F
F
H
E
Now
the
City
Council
has
discussed
the
mayoral
position
and
they
decided
to
move
forward
with
five
districts,
and
what
that
means
is
that
the
mayor
will
be
selected
from
amongst
the
City
Council
and
they
will
need
to
develop
a
process
in
how
to
select
them
the
mayor,
it
could
be
by
seniority,
it
could
be
by
highest
vote
getter.
It
could
be
a
strict
rotation
of
starting
at
district
one
two,
three
four
and
five,
and
it
typically
is
a
one-year
term
and
it
rotates
between
the
councilmembers.
F
C
E
C
C
Did
the
only
way
the
mayor
would
break
a
tie
now
would
be.
The
mayor
happened
to
vote
last
and
would
be.
It
was
a
three
to
two
vote,
but
there's
no
formal
process.
So
if
your
notice,
when
City
Council
meets
everyone,
punches
a
yes,
no
or
abstain
button,
they
do
so
at
the
same
time
and
unless
you're
peeking
over
somebody's
shoulder,
you
don't
know
how
anyone
else
has
voted
before
you
vote
and
we
try
not
to
be
go
for
each
other's
shoulder,
but.
E
E
The
mayor,
our
Charter,
primarily
only
gives
the
mayor
some
ceremonial
duties
and
and
in
relation
to
the
question
of
the
mayor's
position,
if
you
look
at
all
of
the
cities
in
California
of
some
four
hundred
and
eighty
cities,
the
majority
of
cities
which
are
on
the
smaller
side
such
as
us,
do
have
their
mayor's
selected
from
a
rotation
amongst
the
City
Council.
It's
usually
very
large
cities
like
Los
Angeles,
Riverside,
San,
Diego,
Sacramento,
that
having
a
mayor,
that's
elected,
at-large,.
D
C
E
C
D
C
And
in
all
of
the
joking
and
everything
aside,
one
of
the
the
reasons
for
this
and
why
it
is
so
serious
is
an
individual,
should
be
a
representative
of
the
district
that
they're
living
in
and
that's
very
important.
And
one
of
the
things
that
we
hope
to
accomplish
through
districting
is
that
those
individuals
who
are
representing
a
district
have
a
direct
connection
to
the
people
and
issues
of
that
district.
I
All
five
of
these
considerations
for
maps
was
there
any
consideration
paid
to
the
number
of
polling
places
that
will
be
offered
in
each
district
with
respect
to
ease
of
access
to
the
polls
for
those
who
are
seniors
or
those
who
have
disability
or
those
whose
first
language
is
in
English,
etc.
I'm
wondering
if
that
was
part
of
the
consideration
with
respect
to
the
creation
of
these
maps.
E
Those
locations
will
be
open,
I
believe
all
all
days,
including
weekends
and
they'll,
have
all
of
the
languages
that
that
community
needs
at
each
of
these
polling
centers.
The
idea
is
they're
able
to
consolidate
more
resources
into
these
polling
centers,
but
give
people
opportunity
to
vote
at
their
leisure
rather
than
on
a
specified
day.
So
definitely
within
two
to
four
years.
Voting
is
going
to
be
very
different
in
California.
C
A
J
J
The
doobie
map
to
this
map
was
one
of
the
first
ones
that
I
did,
and
so
this
does
not
really
apply
what
we
call
the
dilution
factor
where
we
look
at
citizens
of
voting
age
population.
This
was
more
based
on
total
population.
That
I
was
looking
at
the
equal
playing
field,
and
so
this
map
wasn't
one
of
the
four
that
the
CBR
a
working
group
put
forward
to
the
council.
J
K
K
Can
wear
American
I'm
on
this
CV
air
working
group
and
one
of
the
reasons
we
didn't
put
we
put
the
four
maps
not
do
be
too
forward.
Is
that
District,
one
in
all
of
the
other
four
maps
gives
the
possibility
of
a
majority
of
people
of
who
are
minority
people
of
color
asian
black
and
latino,
but
more
important
and
are
equally
important.
K
It
also
had
the
youngest
population,
the
greatest
population
of
people
who
didn't
speak
english
in
their
homes,
the
greatest
population
of
families
with
children,
and
it
also
concentrated
it
was
the
most
isolated
of
the
districts
so
that
it
was
further
away
from
the
city
it
has
most
of
the
marijuana
it
has
all
of
the
toxic
wastes
it
has.
It
has
some
issues
that
has
CV
link.
K
G
Think
an
issue
I
have
with
looking
at
the
do
be
and
considering
it
for
more
more
representation.
Downtown
bothers
me
in
that
downtown's,
not
more
important
than
district
1
or
district
2
and
I
feel
very,
very
strongly
that
we're
going
to
have
to
teach
our
Council
and
our
council
is
going
to
have
to
learn
that
they
just
don't
work
for
one
district.
They
work
for
the
entire
city.
So
for
that
reason,
I
have
no
interest
in
dividing
up
downtown
I.
Think
you
know
the
the
five
section
map
that
sort
of
goes
north
to
south.
G
To
me,
look
like
it
would
meet
the
needs
of
our
citizens
and
you
know
I
think
most
of
our
downtown
businesses
probably
do
live
within
Palm
Springs
in
one
of
the
districts,
so
I
think
I
just
think.
We're
all
gonna
have
to
trust
our
city
council
members
to
do
the
job
that
they're
elected
to
and
and
I
would
trust
the
district
and
have
to
allow
that.
L
L
District
one
to
concentrate
certain
concerns
in
the
district.
If
you
have
a
city
council
member
from
a
district
that
has
a
concentration
that
the
others
don't
share
part
of,
do
they
become
well
informed
and
well
good
representation
of
their
district,
but
then
they
have
for
others
who
don't
have
that
familiarity
and
not
that
they
don't
care,
but
they
don't
have
the
depth
of
familiarity.
Will
they
not
share
that
the
sense
of
importance
just
because
they
haven't
had
that
exposure,
where,
on
the
other
hand,
when
you
split
up
downtown,
does
it?
What
does
that
achieve?
L
C
In
some
of
the
communities
outside
of
Palm,
Springs,
I
have
certainly
heard,
and
most
of
the
TSA's
anecdotal,
that
their
cities
very
much
wanted
to
have
multiple
City
Council
members
touching
their
downtown
for
our
city.
I
think
it
would
be
extremely
difficult
to
get
five
districts
touching
downtown
and
I'm,
not
sure
that
touching
really
makes
that
big
a
difference.
C
So
almost
all
of
the
maps
that
I've
seen
have
at
least
two
City
Council
members
that
have
significantly
area
around
downtown
and
I.
Think
that
is
is
a
certainly
a
good
minimum
number.
A
couple
of
them
have
three
that
they
have
reasonable
parts
of
downtown.
Where
and
I
we
may
have
one
that
had
four
but
I
I
think
it
was
pretty
minimal,
at
least
in,
in
my
own
opinion,
something
different
than
downtown,
where
I
think
there
are.
C
A
very
serious
community
of
interest
is
around
the
airport
and
the
in
talking
with
neighborhoods
that
are
either
north
of
the
airport
immediately
south,
just
east
or
just
west.
There
certainly
seems
to
be
a
strong
feeling
that
there
is
commonality
that
those
neighborhoods
have
based
on
the
airport
and
almost
every
map
that
we
have
put
together
has
at
least
three
districts
that
have
very
significant
number
of
residents
around
the
airport
and
I.
C
Very
good
question:
the
hotels
are
much
more
distributed
than
than
that
downtown
corridor
of
Palm,
Canyon
and
Indian
Canyon,
and,
and
certainly
we
do
have
some
of
our
most
significant
hotels
that
are
adjacent
to
downtown
adjacent
to
the
Convention
Center,
and
that
is
that
is
also
community
of
interest.
I
can
tell
you,
the
people
in
the
historic
tennis
club
are
very
well
aware
of
the
advantages
and
at
times
the
disadvantages
that
come
with
having
commercial
activity,
be
it
a
hotel
or
a
restaurant
or
near
them.
C
E
C
C
Demarcation
of
wealth,
but
certainly
one
of
the
it
the
two
seem
to
go
together
frequently.
There
has
been
some
conversation
that
those
who
live
in
the
hillside
communities
have
a
very
significant
community
of
interest.
It
frequently
correlates
to
to
increased
wealth,
but
there
are
very
specific
zoning
laws
that
apply
to
hillside
communities.
C
M
As
I
look
at
these
maps
and
the
question
was
about
the
wealth
in
one
particular
area,
Palm
Springs
is
pretty
much
a
wealthy
city
in
its
own
one.
Pretty
much
is
the
less
affluent
of
all,
so
I
would
think
if
we
can
combine
a
little
more
of
the
wealth
in
that
community
and
decision
making.
That
might
be
a
little
better.
B
Combined,
it
wouldn't
cause,
but
if
someone
run
that's
wealthy,
they
don't
understand
our
needs,
they
don't
know
our
needs.
So
that's
why
I
feel
that
I
don't
think
we
should
combine
them
together,
because
if
somebody
run
like
I
said
it's
on
my
run,
I
don't
have
my
interested
in
I,
don't
think
about
what
we're
going
through
or
anything
because
they
don't
have
money.
So
we
don't.
So
that
would
be
a
conflict
like
that
to
me.
Okay,.
H
Just
to
comment
a
little
bit
on
the
wealth
thing
as
carol
was
saying:
if
you
were
to
put
more
wealth
in
the
district,
one
might
me
personally
I
think
it
would
limit
the
chances
of
like
they're,
saying
a
minority
being
elected,
and
then
the
minority
would
have
to
raise
more
money.
So,
for
instance,
if
you
were
to
put
desert
high
lean
in
with
Vista
Las,
Palmas
or
old
Las
Palmas,
how
would
they
be
able
to
compete
for
campaign
money?
Or
you
know.
L
Can
I
want
to
follow
up
on
that
comment?
I
want
to
point
out
something
that
is
not
on
the
maps
we
have
city
limits
that
extend
beyond
the
maps
that
you're
seeing
one
of
the
wealthiest
businesses
in
the
city
is
actually
in
district
1
and
that's
the
wind
farms,
the
wind
turbine
farms,
so
I
think
that's
important
to
keep
in
mind
and
I.
L
Think
about
that
and
when
I
asked
about
when
it
was
asked
about,
though
concentrating
the
wealth,
and
is
that
good
or
is
it
bad
well
deters
comment
is
if
there
was
wealth,
more
wealth
integrated
into
district
one?
Would
they
overwhelm
with
campaign
campaign
financing
over
the
interests
of
the
lesser
wealth
and
I?
Don't
think?
Well,
there's
a
way
around
that,
because
that
wealth
is
there
already,
but
it's
an
interesting
consideration
and
the
part
of
the
city
that's
to
the
south,
that's
not
on
the
map.
H
If
you
look
on
the
back
of
the
maps,
it'll
say:
household
income
and
in
most
of
the
districts,
the
district
where
desert
highway
neighs
in
the
0
to
$25,000,
category
desert,
hylene
and
the
most
of
the
districts
in
district
1
aren't
the
lowest
income
districts.
You
start
to
see
district
3
with
32
percent
0
to
25
K
and
things
of
that
nature
and
I
think
that's
more
concentrated
with
with
the
multi-family
homes
that
are
pretty
much
concentrated
along
chocolates
and
and
also
there
are
a
couple
concentrated
along
like
Cali
and
Celia
and
El
Segundo
and.
C
One
of
the
things
I
know
after
spending
many
months
pouring
through
maps,
is
there
isn't
a
perfect
map
and
about
every
few
hours.
I
think
I
have
crafted
the
adjustments
to
make
the
perfect
map.
Then
I
usually
talk
to
Anthony
and
I,
find
out
what
I
forgot
and
missed
in
in
the
map.
So
what
we
keep
trying
and
one
of
the
things
that
has
been
fascinating
with
the
community
process,
is
how
much
we
learn
each
time
we
do
one
of
these
and
what
we
notice
that
we
forgot.
C
E
We
provided
everybody
with
the
maps
and
then
we
have
this
larger
map.
That
is
what
we're
calling
your
ballot,
we're
just
hoping
that
people
will
indicate
with
their
pen
or
with
the
sticker,
which
is
their
favorite
map
and
then
hopefully,
you'll
provide
us
with
some
comments
as
to.
Why
is
your
favorite
map?
And
if
you
want
any
proposed
modifications,
if
there's
particular
neighborhoods
that
you
want
to
be
in
a
particular
district,
providing
those
comments,
all
of
these
documents
will
be
provided
to
the
City.
E
Council
they'll
be
reviewing
these
documents
on
November
15th,
where
they'll
be
narrowing,
these
top
five
maps
down
to
the
top
one
or
two
map,
and
then
they
will
proceed
to
November
29th
in
which
they
will
select
their
final.
Absolute
final
map
make
any
final
adjustments
that
they
want
to
make
to
these
maps
and
then
on
December
5th,
which
will
likely
be
pushed
out
to
December
10th
to
the
12th
one
of
those
days.
The
City
Council
will
then
introduce
its
ordinance
and
select
its
final
map,
no
changes
and
then
on
December
19th,
adopt
the
ordinance
and.
C
Why
you
think
why
you
like
something
or
why
you
don't
like,
is
really
really
helpful.
You
may
choose
a
map
as
being
your
favorite,
but
if
you
tell
us
what
it
was
you
liked
about
that
map
city
council
may
end
up
choosing
some
other
map,
but
still
be
able
to
incorporate
that
feature.
That
was
important
to
you
in
the
final
map
that
we
do
adopt
and
a
dieter.
C
That
have
said
well,
gee,
that's
a
that's
a
pretty
big
district,
but
when
you
start
to
dig
down
to
the
communities
of
interest
and
the
connections,
the
people
have
historically
ad
in
the
community
as
well
as
things
such
as
manufacturing
in
cannabis
that
are
so
prevalent
in
both
both
of
those
neighborhoods
I've
at
least
been
able
to
counter
with
a
couple
of
times
with
folks
who
say:
oh
well,
that
district
doesn't
make
any
sense
and
then
I
say.
Are
you
aware
that
there's
cannabis?
Are
you
aware
of
like
manufacturing?
C
Are
you
aware
of
the
legacy
of
section
14
and
people
moving
either
to
the
north
or
to
the
east
out
of
it,
and
sometimes
people
start
shaking
their
head?
Oh
well,
I
wasn't
aware
of
those
things.
So
that's
because
this
community
has
spoken
up
and.
H
Also,
when
we
speak
of
cannabis,
what
about
the
developments
out
on
16th
and
Melissa
and
things
of
that
nature?
The
other
end
of
the
freeway,
where
the
FedEx
Building
and
all
that
stuff
is
there's
a
large
cannabis
grows
that
are
going
to
be
coming
in
there
and
then
we
also
have
all
the
big-box
commercial
retail.
That's
a
long
where
Walmart
is
Home
Depot
things
of
that
nature,
Lowe's!
So
we're
we're
all
saying
about
downtown,
but
we
don't
shop,
downtown.
That's
right,
I!

C
There's
nothing
else
we'll
be
around
here
for
as
long
as
you
want
to
stick
around
and
ask
ask
and
answer
questions
one
on
one
and
thank
you
all
for
coming
and
I
really
think
this
neighborhood
in
particular,
for
the
work
that
you
have
done.
We've
had
more
meetings
in
this
neighborhood
than
any
other
and
that's
for
a
reason
you
care
and
we're
trying
to
care
back.
Thank
you.
