[Proclamations/Presentations/Direction]

THEY GOT A LITTLE ROUGH, BUT THIS YEAR THEY GOT BETTER. EVERYBODY THAT COMES HERE AND PLAYS WITH AGAINST US, THEY REALLY ENJOY THE FIELDS. THANK YOU FOR THE NEW RESTROOMS. THOSE LIGHTS THE LIGHTS ARE EXCELLENT. THEY'RE WAY BETTER NOW. THE KIDS ARE OUT THERE WITH LIGHTS. THE RESTROOMS ARE NEARBY THEM. WE DON'T HAVE TO BE RUSHING ON TAKING THEM TO THE RESTROOMS ALL THE WAY TO FIELD ONE AND TWO. AND BASICALLY, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING'S GETTING PRETTY GOOD. AND WE HAVE THE 2015 WHO CAME OUT CHAMPS. AND THEN I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE ANY VOICE

[00:05:03]

ALL RIGHT. FIRST OF ALL, WE'RE GOING TO INTRODUCE OUR GOALIE. AND I'M GOING TO ASK THE CITY COUNCIL TO JOIN US DOWN HERE AS WELL SO WE CAN SHAKE THE CHAMPION'S HANDS. WE HAVE THE GOALIE. HE'S HE GOES BY PUMA, BUT HIS NAME IS PEDRO. COME ON IN, PUMA. WE GOT JOSEPH.

WHATEVER. JOSEPH. COME UP. WE GOT GUCCI. VICTOR. COME ON DANIEL. AND THEN WE GOT DAVION.

WE GOT MAX. WE HAVE ANGEL. WE HAVE GAIL. WE HAVE OUR CAPTAIN, OLIVER. WE HAVE MATEO. AND THEN WE HAVE OUR HEAD COACH, DANIEL. AND WE'RE MISSING A COUPLE OF PLAYERS. ONE OF THEM'S MY SON.

THEY'RE ON THE WAY OVER HERE. AND WE HAVE A ROSTER OF 17 PLAYERS, AND WE PICK FROM THERE.

YOU KNOW WHO'S DOING GOOD IN SCHOOL AND EVERYTHING. AND THAT'S HOW WE CHOSE WHO GOES TO THE TOURNAMENTS. ALL RIGHT, WELL, COACH DANIEL, I'VE KNOWN YOU A LONG TIME. WHY DON'T YOU SAY A FEW WORDS ABOUT YOUR TEAM? AND THEN WHO'S THE CAPTAIN? I KNOW YOU GOT CAPTAIN OLIVER. GET OVER HERE. AND THEN OLIVER IS GOING TO TAKE THE MONEY. WHO WANTS TO? OLIVER WANTS TO TALK FIRST. YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR TEAMMATES AND WHAT YOU LEARNED THIS SEASON. AND HOW WAS THE EXPERIENCE? HOW MANY GOALS DID YOU GET? NONE. HOW DID YOU GET YOU PLAYED AS A TEAM? YEAH, IT WAS A TEAMWORK. IS THAT THE MAIN LESSON HERE? YEAH. TEAMWORK. WHAT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF? YOUR TEAMMATES AS WELL ABOUT PASSING THE BALL. THEY PASS THE BALL. THEY WORKED AS A AS YOU GUYS WORKED AS A TEAM. YEAH. OH THAT'S AWESOME. GOOD JOB. NOW WHAT ABOUT YOU COACH. HELLO. MY NAME IS DANIEL RODRIGUEZ I AM THE HEAD COACH FOR THE 2015 DESERT SOLOS. WE AND I ACTUALLY RUN THE WHOLE DESERT SOLOS. WE HAVE TEN TEAMS UNDER US, WHICH STARTS FROM 2020 ALL THE WAY TO 2008, WHICH IS OUR HIGHEST CATEGORY. THEY JUST CAME BACK FROM PHOENIX TO WE ENDED UP LOSING THE FINAL IN THE 2008 CATEGORY. WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS TEAM, AND THAT'S THE REASON WHY I'M HERE, IS I REPRESENT DESERT SOLOS. I REPRESENT THESE KIDS. SOME OF THESE KIDS LIVE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE VALLEY, AND IT'S SOMETIMES IT GETS COMPLICATED. SO FOR A CLUB TO COME IN HERE AND TRY TO TAKE THE FIELDS AWAY, IT MAKES IT VERY HARD. AND IT KIND OF NOT UPSETS ME BECAUSE SOME OF THESE KIDS CAN BARELY AFFORD TO GO TO THE TOURNAMENTS, SO WE HAVE TO MAKE IT WORK SOMEHOW. SO NOW IMAGINE IF WE'RE TRYING TO MINIMIZE COST FOR THEM, FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO TRAVEL, FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO PLAY HERE IN COACHELLA, FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO COME IN, TO TRY TO BRING A CLUB. AND THE PRICES ARE NOWHERE NEAR CLOSE TO EACH OTHER. SO THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT I YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT THAT. YOU KNOW, IT'S HARD FOR THESE KIDS, SOME OF THESE PARENTS, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALL PARENTS. WELL, MOST OF US ARE PARENTS. AND I DON'T HAVE ANY KIDS PLAYING HERE. HE'S MY NEPHEW, THE ONE RIGHT HERE IN THE MIDDLE. AND AGAIN, WE TRY TO MINIMIZE COSTS FOR ALL THESE KIDS. I RUN A BUSINESS AS A TAQUERO, AND I TRY TO HELP THEM OUT BY DONATING A QUIZ OR SOMETHING SO THAT WE CAN RAISE MONEY SO THAT THEY CAN PLAY HERE AND THEY CAN TRAVEL OUTSIDE. AWESOME. SO AFTER WINNING THIS WEEKEND, WE ACTUALLY QUALIFIED TO GO PLAY IN THE VANCOUVER CUP, WHICH IS IN JUNE. YOU GUYS GOT A SWEATER? IT'S GONNA BE COLD UP THERE. NOT YET. BUT I ALSO WANT TO PRESENT A ROOMBA, WHICH IS ALSO ONE OF OUR ASSISTANT COACH.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THEY WENT OUT THERE. AND WE'RE MISSING ONE MORE. THERE YOU GO. HERE. THANK YOU. OH, IT'S TONY HERE. NO, NO, HE'S NOT HERE. AND WE'RE MISSING ONE MORE TONY. AND BASICALLY THESE ARE ASSISTANT COACH, AND I'M JUST THE TRAINER. NOT TO. GREAT WORK. THANK YOU. LET'S

[00:10:01]

I HAD AN EXCELLENT CONVERSATION WITH ALMA AND SHE SAYS, HEY, LOOK, I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 16 YEARS AND I LOOK FORWARD TO RESPONDING TO THE RFP. SHE GOES, SHE GOES, THERE'S PEOPLE THAT WANT TO TRY TO TAKE ME OUT. I SAID, I KNOW THE FEELING. I TOLD HER, YOU KNOW, AND, AND I SAID, LOOK, BUT YOUR EXPERIENCE COUNTS. AND SO, YOU KNOW, THE COLLABORATION THAT SHE'S GOING TO GET INTO TO MAKE SURE THAT SEESAW IS, IS, YOU KNOW, COULD BE THE ONLY LEAGUE IN COACHELLA.

AND THEY WERE THE ONLY LEAGUE IN COACHELLA NOT TOO LONG AGO. SO IT'S EXCITING. AND I KNOW THAT SHE'S UP FOR THE CHALLENGE. I KNOW THAT SHE'S LOOKING AT DIVERSIFYING, GETTING SENDING KIDS OFF TO COLLEGE, SENDING KIDS OFF TO DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW, GAMES TO SO THEY CAN SEE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING AND ALL THAT STUFF. SO SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS UP TO THE CHALLENGE. SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING TO OCCUR. AND GOOD LUCK TO EVERYBODY. I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE EXCITING JUST TO, YOU KNOW, GIVE YOU A LITTLE SOMETHING ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON.

ALEX. WHERE'S EMILIANO? COME HERE. YEAH. HE'S HE'S 18 YEARS OLD NOW. HE'S ACTUALLY WHO I STARTED TEN YEARS AGO WITH ALMA PLAYING, CAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE ACCOMPLISHED HERE WITHOUT HAVING THOSE HIGH COST OF CLUBS. HE'S BEEN A CLOSE CHAMPION PROBABLY FIVE YEARS. AND THIS IS MY OTHER SON. HE'S A 2011. I ALSO COACH, AND HE'S ALSO A COACH CHAMPION ALREADY. THAT'S AWESOME. SO WHERE ARE YOU GUYS GOING? WHERE I'M AT RIGHT NOW. WHERE ARE YOU GUYS GOING? TO SCHOOL. HE'S GOING TO TORO CANYON. NICE. AND HE'S GOING BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL. OH, GOOD. YOU GUYS ARE DOING GREAT. KEEP IT UP, BOYS. AND THIS IS WHERE WE ENDED UP. BUT NOW THAT WE JOINED WITH THE GENTLEMAN BACK HERE, WE FOUND A BETTER PATHWAY FOR THE YOUNG ADULTS TO GO INTO SOCCER WITHOUT HAVING THOSE BIG COSTS. THAT'S AMAZING. IT'S AMAZING. AND WELL, THANK YOU, COACHELLA, AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN MAKE IT BETTER FOR YOU GUYS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU AGAIN. CONGRATULATIONS CHAMPS. GOOD JOB. ALL RIGHT NOW ON TO THE NEXT CONVERSATION WHICH IS GOING TO BE JUST AS EXCITING. MOSQUITOES. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT BRING OUR. OUR VECTOR CONTROL DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE. WELCOME. GOOD EVENING. AND FIRST OF ALL CONGRATULATIONS VOICE.

AND IT MIGHT NOT BE AS FUN AS PLAYING, BUT I'M GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MOSQUITOES AND WHY I'M HERE. MY NAME IS ROBERT GAONA. I AM THE PUBLIC INFORMATION MANAGER AT COACHELLA

[00:15:02]

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A DRONE DEMONSTRATION, AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A TOUR OF OUR LAB AND SHOW YOU HOW WE TEST AND TRY TO GET RID OF THOSE MOSQUITOES. SECOND, WE RECENTLY LAUNCHED A SPRING CAMPAIGN ADVERTISEMENT CAMPAIGN. YOU MAY HAVE SEEN SOME OF OUR BILLBOARDS AS YOU'RE TRAVELING THROUGH COACHELLA, OUT IN MECCA, OASIS, COMING ACROSS THE EAST VALLEY. THESE BILLBOARDS ARE NOT ONLY ON THE BIG BILLBOARDS ON THE STREET, BUT ALSO ON SOME OF OUR BUS SHELTERS AND ALSO ON THE RADIO. YOU MAY HAVE SEEN A COMMERCIAL OF OUR DISTRICT, AND IT ALL IS TO BRING AWARENESS TO OUR DISTRICT AND OUR SERVICES. BACK IN 2023, WE HAD THE FIRST CASE OF DENGUE IN CALIFORNIA. IT WAS FOUND IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IN 2024. JUST LAST YEAR THERE WAS 18 CASES. LUCKILY, WE DO NOT HAVE ANY CASES OF DENGUE IN THE VALLEY YET, BUT WE DO HAVE THE MOSQUITO THAT IS CAPABLE OF TRANSMITTING THESE DISEASES DENGUE, ZIKA AND CHIKUNGUNYA.

BACK IN 2016, WE FOUND THAT MOSQUITO HERE IN THE CITY OF COACHELLA, AND WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET RID OF IT. SO PART OF THIS CAMPAIGN IS TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO USE OUR SERVICES IS A COMPLETELY FREE SERVICE, AND ALSO TO REMIND EVERYBODY TO HELP US CONTROL MOSQUITOES. AND THAT IS IT. THANK YOU. HOW DO YOU DO THAT? HOW DO YOU YOU GOT YOU GOT YOUR LIVE. YOU GOT A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE. HOW CAN THE COMMUNITY HELP YOU CONTROL MOSQUITOES? SO THE EASIEST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING WE COULD DO AT OUR HOMES IS BY DUMPING AND DRAINING WATER SOURCES. THE AEDES MOSQUITO, IT'S A SMALL LITTLE MOSQUITO. IT'S A BLACK AND WHITE MOSQUITO. AND YOU'RE GOING TO FIND THAT MOSQUITO AROUND YOUR HOMES. WE ALL LOVE HAVING OUR PLANTERS. OUR MASTER'S RIGHT OUTSIDE OF OUR HOUSE. THOSE MOSQUITOES ARE GOING TO LIVE AND THRIVE IN THOSE WATER SOURCES RIGHT UNDER THE POTS. IF THERE'S STANDING WATER OUTSIDE, THERE IS GOING TO BE MOSQUITOES. AS THE TEMPERATURES RISE, WE'LL SEE AN INCREASE IN MOSQUITOES. AND AS THE YEAR PROGRESSES TOWARDS A FALL MONTHS IS WHERE THIS AEDES MOSQUITO IS GOING TO THRIVE. AND I'M SURE WHEN WE'RE OUT IN THE FIELDS AND WE'RE SLAPPING OUR LEGS OR OUR HANDS, WE DON'T WANT TO BE BOTHERED BY THESE AEDES MOSQUITOES. SO GETTING RID OF WATER AROUND OUR HOME, IF WE HAVE ANY STANDING WATER IN THE SUMMER, SOME OF US WILL PUT UP OUR POOLS. OUR POOLS THAT WE USE TO HAVE FUN DURING THE SUMMER. WE MIGHT FORGET TO DUMP THAT WATER WHEN IT GETS A LITTLE COLD. SO GETTING RID OF THAT STANDING WATER AND ALSO USING US AS A RESOURCE. THE VALLEY, THE COACHELLA VALLEY MOSQUITO AND VECTOR CONTROL DISTRICT IS PUBLICLY FUNDED, AND ALL THAT WE DO IS FREE TO OUR RESIDENTS. IF PEOPLE START SEEING MOSQUITOES AROUND THEIR HOME, GIVE US A CALL. WE HAVE REALLY GREAT TECHNICIANS THAT HAVE. THEIR JOB IS TO GO FIND MOSQUITOES AND GET RID OF THEM. AND BUT ULTIMATELY, THE COMMUNITY IS DOING OUR PART HELPING OUT. THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO HELP US GET RID OF MOSQUITOES. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. COUNCIL. ANY QUESTIONS? NO, I JUST HAVE A COMMENT. YOU ALWAYS DO. YOU AND YOUR TEAM, THE STAFF ALWAYS DO A REALLY GOOD JOB OF SHOWING UP TO ALL OF OUR COMMUNITY EVENTS AND HAVING A TABLE THERE. AND SO YOU SHARE ALL OF THIS EDUCATION AND RESOURCES, BUT YOU GUYS DO IT IN A VERY FUN WAY, AND YOU ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S ACTIVITIES AND WAYS THAT OUR CHILDREN CAN PARTICIPATE ALSO AND LEARN. SO I DO APPRECIATE THAT A GREAT DEAL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. AND IF THERE IS ANY OTHER OPPORTUNITIES TO COLLABORATE AND SOME OF OUR TRASH PICKUP EVENTS, I KNOW WE HOST THEM IN THE PARKS. WHEN WE DO BULK BULKY ITEM PICKUPS, WE'RE ALWAYS WILLING TO COME OUT AND ALSO SHARE RESOURCES WITH EVERYBODY, BECAUSE SOME OF THAT JUNK THAT WE KEEP IN OUR BACKYARD ARE ALSO RESOURCES OR SOURCES FOR MOSQUITOES. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THAT YOU DID A GOOD JOB ON THE PRESENTATION. THAT'S A PROBABLY ONE OF THE FIRST TIMES I'VE SEEN HIM. I'VE SEEN SOMEONE FROM THE MOSQUITO CONTROL GET A, YOU KNOW, AN APPLAUSE. YEAH. WE HAVE A GOOD AUDIENCE HERE. LET'S MOVE ON TO THE CONSENT CALENDAR. IT'S RECOMMENDED THE CONSENT ITEMS BE ACTED UPON SIMULTANEOUSLY. WHAT ARE THE WISHES OF THE CITY

[Written Communications]

[00:20:04]

YEAH. AND SO THAT'S WHAT I WOULD DO. SO WE JUST RECEIVED A WRITTEN COMMUNICATION.

COMMUNICATION FROM GABRIEL MARTIN RECEIVED THIS IS A CEASE AND DESIST LETTER REGARDING MR. MR. PATTERSON THANK YOU. THANK YOU. AND THEN WE WILL MOVE ON NOW TO CONSENT CALENDAR. IT'S

[Consent Calendar]

[New Business Calendar (Legislative and Administrative)]

SO JUST A QUICK REMINDER THAT THE RESIDENTIAL HOUSING NEED ALLOCATION BY 2029 FOR THE CITY IS 7886 AND 2024, WE PERMITTED A TOTAL OF 818 UNITS, AND 92 OF THOSE WERE LOW INCOME. SO SINCE 2021, THE CITY HAS PERMITTED A TOTAL OF 794 UNITS, WHICH IS KIND OF FAR FROM THAT 7000 NUMBER. BUT THE CITY HAS SET GOALS TO MEET THE HOUSING NEEDS, AND WE'LL SEE THAT NUMBER CHANGE AFTER 2029. SO OUR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR WILL PRESENT ON THE GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION UPDATE. SO. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL. SO AS YOU MAY BE AWARE THAT THE GENERAL PLAN IS YOUR VISION DOCUMENT FOR THE CITY. THIS WAS ADOPTED IN 2015.

ALL CITIES HAVE TO ADOPT A GENERAL PLAN. THEY'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE ALL THESE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS FROM LAND USE ALL THE WAY TO SAFETY. WE HAVE THAT PLAN. I WOULD IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO READ IT, I WOULD ENCOURAGE TAKING A LOOK AT THAT DOCUMENT. IT CAME OUT OF A LOT OF ENGAGEMENT WITH YOUTH, SENIORS AND FAMILIES. SO THE IDEAS COME FROM THEM. TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT THE GENERAL PLAN ENCOMPASSES, IT INCLUDES GOALS THAT THE CITY WOULD LOOK TO ACHIEVE AND THE POLICIES RELATED TO IT. SO IF YOU WERE TO READ A PAGE FROM THE GENERAL PLAN, THIS IS WHAT YOU WOULD SEE. SO WHAT'S BEFORE YOU TODAY AND WHAT'S PROVIDED AS AN ATTACHMENT? OUR GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS. SO THE GENERAL PLAN ISN'T INTENDED TO BE A PLAN THAT SITS ON THE SHELF. IT'S INTENDED TO BE A PLAN THAT THAT THE CITY TAKES ACTION ON. SO WHAT WE'RE PROVIDING IS UPDATES ON THE ACTIONS THAT WERE TAKING PLACE.

AND THAT IMPLEMENTATION ACTION MATRIX IS STRUCTURED LIKE THIS. IT TALKS ABOUT THE ACTION THAT RELATES TO THE ACTUAL ELEMENT FOR THE GENERAL PLAN, WHAT LEVEL OF PRIORITY IT IS FOR THE CITY, THE TIME FRAME. SO IS IT MORE SHORT TERM OR IS IT LONG TERM THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH THAT ACTION? WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR IT? SO IS IT IS IT THE CITY ENGINEER? IS IT THE CITY

[00:25:03]

ANOTHER ACTION IS ALLOWING ENCOURAGE CREATION OF ADUS. AND, YOU KNOW, THE COUNCIL ADOPTED THE PRE-APPROVED PLANS FOR THE COMMUNITY IN ORDER TO INCREASE HOUSING SUPPLY AND REDUCE THE COST TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT ON A MENTIONED HOW SUCCESSFUL THAT PROGRAM IS DOING IN TERMS OF INCREASING HOUSING SUPPLY. SO THE BIG CHANGES THIS THIS YEAR WE ADDRESSED THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS ELEMENT. SO WE ADOPTED A UNIQUE HEALTH AND WELLNESS ELEMENT FOR THE CITY. WE WERE ONE OF THE FIRST CITIES TO DO THIS. WORKING WITH THE CALIFORNIA ENDOWMENT FOR ABOUT SEVEN YEARS. THIS PLAN WAS SITTING ON A SHELF AND NO ACTION WAS TAKEN. I THINK WE REALLY TOOK THIS SERIOUSLY THESE PAST FEW YEARS. ONE OF THOSE ACTIONS IS EDIBLE LANDSCAPES. IN THE PAST, THE CITY DID A REALLY GOOD JOB WITH THE SHADY LANE PARK AND WORKING WITH, YOU KNOW, PRIVATE COMPANIES TO MAKE IT AN EDIBLE LANDSCAPE. THIS YEAR, PYRAMID RANCH, WHICH IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT, THAT PARK IS GOING TO BE DESIGNED WITH EDIBLE LANDSCAPES. SO FRUIT TREES AND HERBS. BUT WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE DOING THIS WITH THE COMMUNITY RESILIENCE CENTER THAT THE CITY IS GOING TO UNDERTAKE PRETTY SOON. THE NEXT ONE IS DEVELOPING MULTI USE FACILITIES, EMERGENCY FOOD, GARDENING TOOLS AND RESOURCES, COMMUNITY GARDENS, COMPOSTING EDUCATION. SO HOW DO YOU ACHIEVE ALL THAT. RIGHT. YOU ARE GOING TO BE ACHIEVING THAT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMMUNITY RESILIENCE CENTER. SO WITH THAT REHABILITATION IT'S GOING TO PROVIDE FOR ALL THOSE DIFFERENT THINGS. AND SO THAT'S THAT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT ACCOMPLISHMENT. THE NEXT ACTION IS THE WORKPLACE WELLNESS TEAM. AND SO THIS WAS DEVELOPED AT THE END OF THIS PAST YEAR IN 2024.

THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT IS LIES WITH THE CITY MANAGER. AND SO STAFF DOES MEET ON A PERIODIC BASIS TO IDENTIFY THE WORKPLACE WELLNESS NEEDS OF STAFF, TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE COULD DO. AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN REPORT MORE ABOUT THAT TO THE CITY COUNCIL. SO YOU'RE AWARE OF WHAT THOSE NEEDS ARE. AND THEN LAST IS AN ACTION FOR PLAZA VENDORS TO CREATE A HEALTHY FOOD TRUCK PERMIT PROGRAM TO OPERATE AROUND PARKS AND PLAZAS. AND SO THE FOOD TRUCK ORDINANCE THAT YOU ALL ADOPTED WASN'T JUST LIKE WE DIDN'T INVENT IT, RIGHT. IT ACTUALLY CAME STRAIGHT FROM THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS ELEMENT. AND SO WE'RE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THAT TODAY. SO THAT'S PLANNING WORKING WITH THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT. SO JUST A FEW PICTURES TO KNOW WHAT THE SO THE COMMUNITY KNOWS WHAT'S COMING. THIS IS THE COMMUNITY RESILIENCE CENTER. SO THIS SHOULD BE OUT TO BID HOPEFULLY SOON. AND I THINK ANDREW IS GOING TO HAVE A BETTER REPORT FOR THIS AT THE NEXT MEETING. BUT I WANT TO REPORT LIKE THIS IS THE BIG DEAL, RIGHT? THE CITY PURCHASED THIS SITE BASED ON THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT WE HAD WITH WITH THE OUTGOING CHAIR, CHRISTI PORTER, WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF HIDDEN HARVEST AT THE TIME. SO THIS THIS ALLOWED US TO BE ABLE TO PURCHASE THIS SITE AND TO BE ABLE TO APPLY FOR THAT GRANT TO BRING IN THE $10 MILLION. AND SO IT WAS DEFINITELY A BIG STAFF EFFORT TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. AND WE'VE BEEN REACHING OUT TO DIFFERENT BUSINESSES. RIGHT. SO WE'VE REACHED OUT TO MUJERES BREWHOUSE AND BORDER X BREWING.

MUJERES BREWHOUSE FOCUSES ON IT'S A WOMAN OWNED BREWERY OUT OF SAN DIEGO, AND THEY ALSO FOCUSED ON IT AS A QUEER FRIENDLY ESTABLISHMENT AND BORDER EXPLORING, WHICH IS THE LARGEST LATINO BREWERY IN THE UNITED STATES. BUT YOU CAN GET AN IDEA OF ALL THE ACTIVITIES THAT THEY HAVE. THEY'D LIKE TO BRING THAT EITHER TO THE DOWNTOWN OR TO THE CRC. ALSO AZIZ FARMS. SO WITH MARK TADROS, HE'S VERY INTERESTED IN AND ALSO BEING ABLE TO INFUSE PROGRAMING FROM FROM HIS FARM. SO HE HAS HIS FARM OUT ON AVENUE 60. STAFF WAS ABLE TO GO ON A TOUR OF THIS

[00:30:01]

SO YOU LOOK AT THE SUCCESS OF OUR ADU PROGRAM, FOR EXAMPLE, THE FACT THAT WE WENT OUT AND DID PRE-APPROVED PLANS AND WE HAVE 92, 80 UNITS THAT HAVE BEEN BUILT WITHIN A VERY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT HOW COACHELLA COMPARES TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, THAT'S, THAT'S THAT'S HUGE, RIGHT? YOU'VE WORKED WITH STAFF AND I THINK PROBABLY THE, THE, THE STATISTIC THAT I'M MOST PROUD OF IN COACHELLA AS MAYOR, I'VE BEEN MAYOR FOR 11 YEARS IS THAT WE HAVE OF OUR OF OUR HOMES, OF OUR HOUSING STOCK, 70% OF IT IS OWNED BY OUR RESIDENTS AND NOT SOME SECOND OR THIRD, YOU KNOW, INVESTMENT BY SOMEONE. BUT 70% OF OUR RESIDENTS OWN THEIR HOMES. AND THAT'S AMAZING. AND I THINK YOU'VE YOU'VE BEEN PART OF THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT AND YOU'RE

[00:35:07]

THE OTHER THING THAT YOU DID AND YOU MENTIONED IT TODAY, YOU KNOW, YOU RECOGNIZE THAT AGRICULTURE IS PART OF OUR HERITAGE IN IN COACHELLA. AND NOT ONLY ARE WE WORKING TO DO AN AGRICULTURAL SUMMIT, BUT WE'RE WE ACTUALLY STARTED THE RUTA DE VINO OR THE LA RUTA DE DATIL DE DACTYL. RIGHT. SO WE ARE PRESERVING OUR OUR DATE PALM TREES AND OUR DATE GROVES TO ACTUALLY CREATE VENUES WHERE PEOPLE CAN LEARN ABOUT THE DATE, BUT ALSO EXPERIENCE A MEAL, HAVE A BIRTHDAY PARTY, WEDDING, DIVORCE PARTIES ARE IN, I GUESS RIGHT NOW TO WHATEVER IT IS. BUT LIKE THE ONE THING YOU HAVE DONE IS, IS YOU'VE YOU'VE REALLY THOUGHT THROUGH AND HAVE DONE REAL, TRUE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND THE AND WHAT IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT IS THAT YOU UP THE STANDARDS. YOU KNOW, THERE'S A THERE'S A CERTAIN IDEA IN, IN SOME MANAGEMENT ROADS WHERE, WHERE OH WE JUST NEED TO TAKE WHAT WE CAN BECAUSE THE ECONOMY IS GIVING IT TO US. BUT THAT'S NOT THE ATTITUDE YOU'VE HELD. YOU'VE HELD THE ATTITUDE THAT WE NEED TO BRING THE BEST FOR OUR RESIDENTS BECAUSE OUR RESIDENTS ARE LIVING HERE YEAR AFTER YEAR. AND IF YOU LOOK AT, LIKE CORDOVA, THAT'S ALMOST DONE IN THE CORNER. THAT WAS A PROJECT THAT YOU WORKED ON, THE ARCHITECTURAL RENDERINGS AND THE ARCHITECTURAL DETAIL OF THAT PROJECT ARE PRETTY NICE. AND THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL. SO YOU'VE BEEN AN INTEGRAL PART OF THIS TEAM. AND, AND I WANT TO RECOGNIZE, YOU KNOW, THE, THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE ON THE HOUSING ELEMENT, THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE, YOU KNOW, REGARDING IMPLEMENTING THE GENERAL PLAN. RIGHT. AND THOSE ARE THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, PEOPLE CAN TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WANTING TO DO THINGS AND, AND, AND, BUT YOU HAD A REALLY VITAL ROLE IN, IN GETTING A LOT OF THIS STUFF DONE. AND WHEN YOU WALK YOU GO AROUND COACHELLA. COACHELLA IS BEAUTIFUL. EVEN THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT PYRAMID RANCH, YOU SEE PYRAMID RANCH RIGHT NOW, IT IS GORGEOUS. THE WAY IT'S TAKING SHAPE LIKE IT IS. IT IS LOOKING REALLY NICE. IT'S SELLING PROPERTY VALUES. IF YOU'RE A HOMEOWNER IN COACHELLA, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A TIME WHERE OUR OUR HOMES WERE DEPRECIATED IN VALUE. THEY WERE 150,000, 200,000. AND YOU GOT THEM UP TO, YOU KNOW, THREE TIMES THAT AMOUNT, FIVE, 600,000. THAT'S GOOD BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, MORE MONEY FOR EDUCATION, MORE MONEY FOR, YOU KNOW, SERVICES AND THINGS OF THAT SORT. AND AT THE SAME TIME, YOU'VE BEEN A BIG ADVOCATE WHEN IT COMES TO FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER PROGRAMS, COLLABORATING, YOU KNOW, AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH, YOU KNOW, NONPROFIT PARTNERS. WE'RE WORKING WITH DIFFERENT GOVERNMENT AGENCIES.

AND I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT WORK. AND THE ONE THING THAT I THINK PERSONALLY IS MOST IMPORTANT IS THAT YOU REALLY BELIEVE IN COACHELLA, TO THE POINT THAT YOU LED AN EFFORT TO EXPAND THE CITY BOUNDARIES, AND THE CITY BOUNDARIES HAVEN'T BEEN EXPANDED IN LIKE 40, 30 YEARS.

AND WE'RE WORKING ON P SEVEN, AND WE SET OURSELVES UP REALLY NICELY TO BRING IN A WHOLE AREA AND HOLD OFF INDIO AND LA QUINTA, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? WHO ARE TRYING TO ANNEX THE CAHUILLA DESERT ACADEMY, WHERE WE ALL GO TO SCHOOL, WHO ARE TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE HIGH

[00:40:04]

YOU KNOW, I GO BACK TO WORKING WITH GABRIEL SINCE I WAS ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND I WAS CHAIR AND I REMEMBER, YOU KNOW, IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAD DEALT WITH A DIRECTOR THAT WAS SO. INTRIGUED, AND HE REALLY WANTED TO UNDERSTAND, AND HE WOULD DO THIS THING WHERE HE WOULD CALL ME AND SAY, HEY, ALMOST TELLING ME. AND I'M NOT EMBARRASSED TO SAY IT BECAUSE I THINK IT'S THE TRUTH. BUT SAYING, DO YOU HAVE MORE QUESTIONS? LIKE, THERE'S A LOT ON THIS AGENDA, LIKE, DO YOU HAVE MORE QUESTIONS LIKE YOU CAN ASK, YOU KNOW, AS IN ASK MORE QUESTIONS? AND RARELY DO YOU HAVE A DIRECTOR AT THAT LEVEL OR A MANAGER AT THAT LEVEL, TELLING SOMEONE THAT IS ON A COMMISSION OR A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER AND SAYING, HEY, YOU KNOW, ASK MORE QUESTIONS. AND TO ME THAT WAS SUPER INTRIGUING. BUT IT ALSO KIND OF HIT ME ON THE SPOT OF LIKE, YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. I HAVE ONLY GOOD THINGS TO SHARE ABOUT GABRIEL. I THINK HE'S THE ONE PERSON THAT I CAN COUNT ON FOR A CALL ON A SATURDAY OR EVEN A SUNDAY. THE CITY DOESN'T WORK ON FRIDAYS, BUT YOU CAN COUNT ON GABRIEL TO CALL YOU ON A SATURDAY OR ON A SUNDAY IF IT'S SOMETHING PRESSING. AND THAT JUST SHOWS UP TO TELL YOU THE TYPE OF INDIVIDUAL AND EMPLOYEE AND CHARACTER THAT HE IS. AND I THINK YOU'RE AN INCREDIBLE YOU'VE BEEN AN INCREDIBLE ASSET TO THE CITY. YOU'VE DONE A LOT. I MEAN, I WOULDN'T DARE MENTION ALL OF THE STUFF THE MAYOR ALREADY SAID BECAUSE IT'S A LOT. IT'S LENGTHY AND THERE'S SO MUCH MORE. BUT THE LATEST PROJECT YOU AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON WAS YOUR IDEA. IT'S THE AGRICULTURAL SUMMIT. YES, I'M A CO-CHAIR ON THERE AND SO IS ANOTHER PERSON. HER NAME IS JANELLE PERCY, AND WE LEAD THE MEETINGS AND WE SHARE A LOT OF UPDATES. WE SHARE A LOT OF OPINION AND A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, RECOMMENDATIONS. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, THAT'S TAKING PLACE BECAUSE OF YOU. YOU'RE THE ONE THAT PUT IT IN MOTION. YOU'RE THE ONE THAT HAS BEEN SETTING IT UP. AND TO LOSE SOMEONE LIKE THAT, THAT CARES SO DEEPLY ABOUT THIS CITY, THAT YOU CAN GUARANTEE THAT HE'LL BE IN THE OFFICE ON SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS WHEN HE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE. IT'S AN INCREDIBLE LOSS TO THE CITY. AND, YOU KNOW, I'LL GO AS FAR AS SAYING IS YOU'RE THE SECOND PERSON PART OF OUR EXECUTIVE TEAM THAT WE'RE LOSING. AND I'LL EVEN GO AS FAR AS ASKING MY COLLEAGUES, YOU KNOW, PUBLICLY TO THINK ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IN THE CITY OF COACHELLA. WHAT ARE WE DOING AND HOW ARE WE GOING TO RESPOND TO SOME OF THESE THINGS? BECAUSE I LOVE SEEING MY CITY PROSPER. I LOVE SEEING A GREAT TEAM. I LOVE WALKING IN HERE AND SEEING A TEAM THAT IS DEDICATED, THAT FEELS SUPPORTED, THAT WANTS TO BE HERE. I LOVE SEEING THAT, BUT I DON'T LIKE THESE LETTERS. I DON'T LIKE SEEING THIS AND WHAT'S BEING DISCUSSED AND WHY YOU HAVE DECIDED TO LEAVE OUR CITY. SO I'LL PUBLICLY ASK MY COLLEAGUES TO THINK ABOUT THAT. WHAT KIND OF A CITY DO YOU WANT TO SEE? BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE A PROSPEROUS CITY. I WANT TO SEE A CITY THAT RESPONDS. I WANT TO SEE A CITY THAT CARES ABOUT THEIR CONSTITUENTS AND ABOUT THE RESIDENTS. THAT'S WHY I'M HERE. THAT'S WHY I DECIDED TO RUN, IS BECAUSE I CARE THAT MUCH. BUT I CARE ABOUT THIS TEAM AS WELL, SO I'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT AGAIN.

GABRIEL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR DEDICATION, ALL OF YOUR WORK. I HAVE NO, I

[00:45:02]

ZERO DOUBT IN MY MIND. YOU CAN WORK ANYWHERE YOU'D LIKE. BUT WOULD WE HAVE PREFERRED THAT YOU HAVE STAYED HERE? I WOULD SAY YES, ABSOLUTELY. BECAUSE YOU'RE AN INCREDIBLE ASSET TO THIS LEADERSHIP TEAM. SO AGAIN, APPRECIATE YOU ALL OF YOUR DEDICATION AND I WISH YOU NOTHING BUT THE BEST. AND I HOPE THAT, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING CONTINUES TO GO WELL FOR YOU.

BUT THANK YOU. WELL, WE HAVE RESOLUTION 25 DASH 14 WAS THE WISHES OF THE CITY COUNCIL MOTION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NUMBER 20 2514. IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. THERE'S A SECOND. CAN WE GET A ROLL CALL? YES. COUNCIL MEMBER PEREZ. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. FIGUEROA. AYE.

ANGELA, WE DO HAVE A PUBLIC COMMENTS. THE FIRST ONE IS FOR ALAN. CARVALHO. YES. ALAN, WELCOME. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS ALAN CARVALHO. I'M HERE TODAY TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHY CERTAIN PEOPLE IN THIS SANCTUARY CITY OF COACHELLA ARE ATTACKING COUNCIL MEMBER YADIRA PEREZ BY REQUESTING THAT SHE STEP DOWN DUE TO AN IMMIGRATION ISSUE WITH HER HUSBAND. WAS SHE SUPPOSED TO TURN HER HUSBAND INTO ICE HERSELF AND ALLOW OTHER FAMILY SEPARATIONS TO OCCUR? IS THAT THE NEW SPIRIT OF COACHELLA? NOW TURN YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS IN? OR IS THE NEW LITMUS LITMUS TEST FOR PUBLIC SERVICE BEING THE KNOWLEDGE OF ANOTHER PERSON'S LAWLESSNESS? MR. MAYOR, AREN'T YOU A CONVICTED FELON OF STOLEN PROPERTY? SHOULD THE GOOD PEOPLE OF COACHELLA ALLOW YOU TO HAVE A KEY TO THE CITY OR CITY FINANCES? DID YOU KNOW THAT FORMER ASSEMBLY MEMBER BRIAN NESTANDE WAS A USER OF COCAINE AND FENTANYL BEFORE HE DIED? OR DID YOU JUST DISCOVER THAT WHEN YOU DISCOVERED HIS BODY AT HIS HOME IN PALM DESERT OVER YOUR

I'M IN OPPOSITION OF THIS NEW LEAGUE, AND I WANT YOU TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE FACTS THAT I THINK THEY'RE VERY IMPORTANT AS A PARENT, BECAUSE YOU GUYS KNOW THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE CITY OF COACHELLA RESIDENTS ARE FARM WORKERS.

I HAVE CHILDREN TOO THAT HAVE BEEN IN SPORTS AND I KNOW IT'S NOT EASY TRAVELING OUT OF CITY, TRAVELING OUT OF STATE. IT DOES. IT DOES COST A LOT OF MONEY. BUT KEEPING KIDS IN SPORTS, I THINK IT'S THE BEST THING. LIKE A GENTLEMAN DID SAY, IT DOES KEEP THEM OUT OF GANGS.

IT DOES KEEP THEM OUT OF TROUBLE. IT ALSO SHOWS THEM STRUCTURE AND DISCIPLINE, WHICH WILL HELP THEM BECOME BETTER IN LIFE, ESPECIALLY IF THEY DECIDE TO GO ON TO COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY. IT DOES HELP A LOT. THE COACHES, THANK YOU FOR DEDICATING YOUR TIME AND TEACHING THESE KIDS. I KNOW IT TAKES A LOT OF PATIENCE SOMETIMES YOU GUYS HAVE A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE PARENTS, SOMETIMES IT'S THE KIDS, SOMETIMES IT'S OTHER LEAGUES.

AND IT LOOKS LIKE, YOU KNOW, EVERYONE'S HAVING A GREAT TIME WITH, YOU KNOW, THEY JUST LIKE TO PARTY AND IT'S FUN AND IT'S GREAT TO SEE THAT THEY HAVE THAT THAT EXCITEMENT AND THAT ENERGY. IN THAT SENSE. I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND THE STATE SENATOR PADILLA'S OPEN HOUSE THIS PAST WEEKEND, BE ABLE TO MEET WITH THE STATE SENATOR AND HAVE SOME CONVERSATIONS ABOUT SOME OF THE APPEALS WE HAVE HERE IN THE CITY, ESPECIALLY WITH CHROME SIX, AND

[01:10:01]

SO THAT MEANS THAT THE TIMELINE IS EXTENDED OUT LONGER OKAY. AND THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS MR. MAYOR.

THANK YOU MAYOR. THERE.

THERE IS A FEW THINGS IN THE CITY THAT THAT'S BEEN BOTHERING ME FOR QUITE A BIT OF TIME. AND THERE'S SKID MARKS, SKID MARKS IN THE CITY WHERE, YOU KNOW, THEY THEY DO THE DONUTS AND THEY RACE IN THE CITY AND THE RACING, THE RACING AND THE SPEEDING IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT BOTHERED ME THE MOST, BECAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE RESPECT FOR ANYBODY ELSE'S LIVES. IT'S JUST A REALITY FOR THE SKID MARKS. I'M WONDERING IF SO, IF ANYBODY'S CAUGHT DOING DONUTS AND THEY'RE DOING SKID MARKS ON, ON, YOU KNOW, ON OUR STREETS, CAN THEY BE CHARGED TO CLEAN UP THOSE SKID MARKS? SO BASICALLY THEY'RE DAMAGING. I MEAN, THEY'RE DAMAGING, YOU KNOW, OUR

[01:15:10]

OKAY, LIEUTENANT VASQUEZ, FOR THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT. TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. AND AGAIN, IT COMES DOWN TO THE CITY ATTORNEY. THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT IS NOT IN THE IN THE IN THE JOB OF GATHERING REIMBURSEMENT. OKAY. WE WOULD BE IN THE JOB OF MAKING THE ARREST. OKAY. SO IF WE'RE ABLE TO LOCATE THAT INDIVIDUAL AND THE CITY WAS WILLING TO PROSECUTE, SAY, FOR, FOR VANDALISM OR DAMAGE DONE TO CITY PROPERTY, THEN WE WOULD BE ABLE TO PROSECUTE THAT INDIVIDUAL FOR THAT CRIME OF VANDALISM. IF IT'S OVER A CERTAIN AMOUNT, THEN IT BECOMES A FELONY, AND THEN THE CITY ITSELF CAN LOOK AT REIMBURSEMENT THROUGH CIVIL ACTION OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE, TO GET THAT, THAT REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE DAMAGE DONE TO THOSE STREETS. OKAY, GREAT. I THINK THEN, LIEUTENANT, THEN COULD WE BE PROVIDED THAT INFORMATION? I MEAN, YOU GUYS DO SUCH A GOOD JOB OF PROVIDING US INFORMATION ALL THE TIME, BUT THIS IS A VERY SPECIFIC THING. AND SO I'M WONDERING IF WHEN YOU SEND THAT INFORMATION OVER THAT YOU JUST MAYBE SHARE THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS PERSON WAS, YOU KNOW, WAS CAUGHT FOR RECKLESS DRIVING AND THEN AND THEN OBVIOUSLY THEN WE CAN CONSIDER WHETHER WE WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH ANY OTHER.

YES. AND AGAIN, WE'D HAVE TO CATCH THEM IN THE ACT. AND IF THE CITY IS WILLING TO PROSECUTE FOR THAT, FOR THAT RECKLESS DRIVING OR DAMAGE DONE TO THE CITY, THEN, THEN YES, WE COULD DO THAT. WE DO SOMETHING SIMILAR WITH TRAFFIC COLLISIONS. WE FORWARD THOSE THOSE REPORTS OVER TO THE CITY, AND THE CITY GETS IT GETS REIMBURSEMENT OR SEEKS REIMBURSEMENT FOR DAMAGE DONE TO CITY PROPERTY, SAFE SIGNS OR LIGHT POSTS, WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. LIEUTENANT. THANK YOU. AND THE NEXT ITEM IS THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT MANY TIMES, BUT WE REALLY DIDN'T PUT ANYTHING FORWARD. AND WE HEAR A LOT ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH, YOU KNOW, WITH THE ANIMALS IN RIVERSIDE COUNTY AND HERE IN THE CITY OF COACHELLA. I, I DO WANT TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE NOT COSTING OUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS OR OUR TAXPAYERS MORE THAN WE SHOULD.

AND I'M REFERRING TO ILLEGAL BREEDING OR BREEDING OF ANIMALS. AND I SAY THIS BECAUSE WE'RE HAVING TO PAY AND I MEAN, WE'RE THE COACHELLA RESIDENTS. YOU'RE HAVING TO PAY A LOT OF MONEY, A LOT OF MONEY TO KEEP UP WITH THE CHALLENGES THAT WE'RE WE'RE GETTING. AND SO WHAT'S HAPPENING IS, AS I'M SURE YOU KNOW, SOME OF THESE PUPPIES AND DOGS ARE, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE GORGEOUS. THEY REALLY ARE. BUT WHAT WHAT'S HAPPENING IS THAT THEY ENDED UP BEING PURCHASED BY PERHAPS A FAMILY WHO REALLY DOESN'T HAVE THE EDUCATION TO CARE FOR THEM, AND THEY GO FROM ONE HOME TO ANOTHER OR THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, WE FIND THEM IN THE STREETS OR THEY FIND WE FIND THEM BACK IN THE ANIMAL SHELTER. AND SO IN A WAY, TO TRY TO CUT DOWN SOME OF THOSE COSTS AND ALSO BE RESPONSIBLE WHEN IT COMES TO THE CARE OF OUR ANIMALS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE I KNOW SOME OF THE OTHER CITIES, I DON'T KNOW IF THE COUNTY DOES IT, BUT BREEDING IS NOT ALLOWED AND I WOULD LIKE TO PURSUE SOMETHING SIMILAR IN THIS CITY. AND THEN ALSO IS OBVIOUSLY MAKING SURE THAT WE BRING BACK THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH WHAT COACHELLA TAXPAYERS ARE PAYING SO THAT THEY UNDERSTAND JUST, YOU KNOW, THE PRICE TAG ON IT. I WENT TO OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING FOR SUNLIGHT. WE ARE STARTING OUR SUNLIGHT STRATEGIC PLAN. WE DO IT EVERY SINGLE YEAR. I HOPE IN THE CITY OF COACHELLA WE START OURS SOON. I KNOW WE HAVEN'T DONE ONE IN SEVERAL YEARS, AND IT IS REALLY MUCH NEEDED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE STAYING ON TASK. I ALSO WANTED TO A LOT OF THE FOLKS THAT ARE HERE, IS THAT I KNOW WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS AT 8 P.M, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO CONSIDER MOVING PUBLIC COMMENTS TO THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING. AND I SAY THIS BECAUSE TODAY WAS A PERFECT EXAMPLE, IS THAT WE DON'T GO TO 8:00. AND SO WHAT'S HAPPENING IS THAT WHEN YOU CITY COUNCIL AGENDA GOES OUT, IT SHOWS PUBLIC COMMENTS AT 8 P.M. AND SO I'M HOPING THAT MY COLLEAGUES WILL SUPPORT MOVING PUBLIC COMMENTS TO THE BEGINNING. THAT WAY THE FOLKS HERE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT TO HEAR US. AFTER MANY AGENDA ITEMS. I, I PREFER TO GIVE THEM THE SPACE ONCE THEY GET HERE, AND MANY CITIES HAVE THEIR PUBLIC COMMENTS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING. AND SO HOPEFULLY SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES WILL SUPPORT THAT. I ATTENDED THE COACHELLA

[01:20:04]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. AND I GOT A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT COMMENTS AND COMMENTS. CON LAS GRACIAS A TODOS LOS PADRES A LOS COCHES A LOS A LOS JUGADORES LOS NINOS LLEGADO A AHORA PARA PARA RECORDAR LA PROBABILIDAD TIENE CANCER Y SIEMPRE VA A SER DEL RESTO DE JUGAR EN LAS VEGAS. YO ESTOY EN ACUERDO CON EL PUESTO DE JUGAR DEPORTES. EL COSTO ES LO MAS IMPORTANTE. NO ESTE PORQUE ES SOMOS UNA COMUNIDAD DE BAJOS INGRESO Y SOMOS UNA COMUNIDAD. PUES CU CU SABEMOS Y LA IMPORTANCIA DEL DEPORTE ESPECIALMENTE CUANDO LLEGA A LAS PANDILLAS Y ESPECIALMENTE CUANDO LLEGA A LLEVAN LOS NINOS Y TAMBIÉN LOS PADRES. NO, PORQUE EL DEPORTE ES ALGO PUES NOS AYUDA A TODOS AL IGUAL. QUIERO ACLARAR LO QUÉ ESTA PASANDO. NO ESTA. HAY UNA HAY UNA EL CONCILIO PARA PONER EL FRENTE. UN PROPOSITO EN DONDE QUEREMOS FORMER UNA LIGA UNA LIGA SOLAMENTE ANTES HABIA UNA JUNTA EN EL ANO PASADO. EN DONDE ESTABAN LAS DOS LIGAS Y OTROS PERSONAS TAMBIÉN QUIZAS QUIEREN USAR LOS FELIZ Y SI ES UN ACUERDO SE HIZO UN VOTO EN DONDE ALMA INCLUSO CON LOS DEMAS VOTARON SI ESTABAN UN ACUERDO, UNA LIGA YO YO YO, YO TENEMOS EL VIDEO. LE PODEMOS LA PODEMOS EN EL VIDEO Y ES DONDE TODOS ESTABAN A DONDE SE PLATICO Y LO ESTAMOS HORITA HASTA EN PROPOSITO. NO ES THE CASE FOR LA LIGA Y QUÉ HAY UNA CONVERSACION

[01:25:08]

BUT I DEFINITELY THINK THAT THE PRIMARY PURPOSE THAT I HEARD FROM THE COUNCIL IS STILL IS TO PROVIDE RECREATIONAL SERVICE FOR SOCCER. SO THAT IS THE NONCOMPETITIVE, MORE RECREATIONAL COMPONENT. IN ADDITION, WE WOULD LIKE THE RFP TO SPEAK TO BOTH SERVICES, AND THAT'S WHAT THAT PANEL WILL THEN EVALUATE. AND I THANK YOU, JASON, FOR BRINGING UP THE PRESENTATION FROM LAST MEETING. AND IT IDENTIFIES THAT THERE WILL BE SEVERAL SCORING

[01:30:05]

WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO GO THROUGH THE FOUR? YES. THE FOUR PIECES OF THE PIE. SO ESSENTIALLY THE CRITERIA IS LEAGUE STRUCTURE. AND THAT'S GOING TO MAKE IT THE BIGGEST COMPONENT. SO 50% PRESENTATION. YEAH I MEAN WE NEED TO KEEP IT LIMITED. JUST CLARIFY. YOU KNOW CLARIFY I'M JUST GIVING THIS ONE SCREEN BECAUSE THAT WAS THE QUESTION. SO I WON'T GO THROUGH THE ANY OTHER PIECES OF THIS. SO 50% IS THE LEAGUE STRUCTURE. BACKGROUND IS 20%. AND 20% IS ALSO THE PROGRAM FEE. EXCUSE ME. AND THEN 10% IS THE UNIQUE LEAGUE FIXTURES. SO ANYTHING SPECIFIC THAT THEY ARE BRINGING ADDITIONAL JUST BY 16 YEARS ALONE THIS LEAGUE IS GOING TO TAKE 20% LIKE RIGHT THERE. JUST YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. SO IT'S SO IT'S I THINK IT'S PRETTY FAIR, YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF THE WAY THIS IS SET UP AND, AND PRICE IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE AFFORDABLE. AND THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR ALL OF US. SO QUERIA ACLARAR COURRIER DE LAS GRACIAS A LA MISMA VEZ DE ESTE ES LA LA. THIS IS THE CRITERIA THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE EVALUATING, OR THIS COMMITTEE IS GOING TO BE EVALUATING. AND ULTIMATELY US AS A COUNCIL WILL BE VOTING ON. BUT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO. WE'RE TRYING TO GET DOWN TO ONE LEAGUE. I WANT TO THANK STAFF AS WELL FOR THE BEAUTIFUL MARIACHI FESTIVAL. WE HAD A WE HAD A MARIACHI FESTIVAL THAT JUST HAPPENED ON SATURDAY, AND WE HAD A GREAT TURNOUT. AND THE MARIACHI WAS WAS SECOND TO NONE. I MEAN, IT WAS JUST A FABULOUS EVENT THAT WENT ON AND, AND PROBABLY PROBABLY THE MOST PEOPLE THAT HAVE THAT I'VE SEEN IN A WHILE ATTEND THE MARIACHI FESTIVAL. I WAS WELL ATTENDED AND IT JUST IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL EVENING AS WELL. AND, AND IT JUST LOOKED GREAT. AND I WANT TO THANK STAFF AS WELL FOR THE FOLLOWING THE WEEK BEFORE TO WHERE WE DID SUAVECITO SUNDAY I COULD NOT ATTEND, BUT I WAS, I WAS A LITTLE SICK, BUT THE TURNOUT AND THE CARS THAT WE HAD AS WELL WAS VERY, VERY BEAUTIFUL. SO WE ARE IN FULL SWING WHEN IT COMES TO THE MONTH OF MARCH. MARITZA I'M SURE, I'M SURE YOU AND YOUR STAFF ARE HAPPY THAT IT'S OVER, BECAUSE THERE THERE ARE A LOT OF EVENTS THAT YOU WORKED ON, AND AS INCLUDING ARBOR DAY AND THE WORK THAT YOU ALL DID AT THE PARK.

I'VE BEEN WALKING BACK. DUMA PARK. I GOT A CHANCE TO WALK BACK DUMA PARK PROBABLY ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK. I'M WALKING IN AND THE TREES, THEY THEY LOOK GORGEOUS THE WAY THEY'RE ALIGNED. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM FULLY GROWN OUT AND PROVIDE THE SHADE JUST FOR THE PARENTS.

I'M A BIG SUPPORTER OF PUTTING TREES AND NEXT TO THE PICNIC BENCHES SO THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY GIVE THE PICNIC BENCH SHADE, NOT JUST FOR DECORATION. AND UNFORTUNATELY, WE WERE JUST PLANTING TREES AND THE SHADE WASN'T NECESSARILY WHERE WE WERE AT. SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I KNOW MARITZA HAS CHANGED BECAUSE SHADE IS IMPORTANT. I DO WANT TO ADDRESS SOMETHING BECAUSE I'VE HEARD BOTH LIBEL AND SLANDER AGAINST ME. AND. AND YOU JUST SAW ALAN COME IN HERE AND MAKE A FALSE ACCUSATIONS AND BASICALLY IT'S A DEFAMATION ATTACK AGAINST ME AND MY CHARACTER, AND, AND IT'S A MALICIOUS ATTEMPT TO TARNISH MY REPUTATION AND INTEGRITY. I'M NOT A FELON. I'VE

[01:35:04]

I KNOW THAT I'VE HEARD GREAT THINGS FROM COUNCIL ABOUT HIM, AND WE'RE SORRY TO SEE HIM GO, BUT THINGS HAPPEN. LOTS OF THINGS HAVE HAPPENED IN THE SHORT TIME THAT I'VE BEEN HERE, AND THEY WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN AND HOPEFULLY THEY WILL STOP SOON. SO I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE COUNCIL, SERVING THE COUNCIL. WE WILL GET THROUGH THE BUDGET PROCESS.

THINGS ARE CHALLENGING. I'LL JUST PUT IT THAT WAY. I THANK THE COUNCIL FOR THEIR SUPPORT AND THEIR UNDERSTANDING AND YOUR UNDERSTANDING WITH EACH OTHER. SO THAT'S MY COMMENT FOR TONIGHT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. AND WITH THAT WE ARE ADJOURNED AT 736. NO, NO. NO SORRY I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT AND CLOSE THE MEETING ON BEHALF OF TWO PEOPLE. AND ONE OF THEM IS OUR OUR EMPLOYEE WHO PASSED AWAY UNFORTUNATELY, VERY RECENTLY. AND THAT'S RAY GAMBOA.

RAY WAS A BILL. HOW LONG HAD RAY BEEN HERE? ABOUT 16 YEARS. 18 YEARS? 18 YEARS. HE HAD BEEN HERE AND I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH RAY, AND HE WAS JUST A REALLY GOOD MAN. AND I WENT TO SCHOOL AS WELL WITH HIS HIS WIFE, EVA, AND I KNOW THEIR KIDS AND THEIR FAMILY AND HIS MOTHER IN LAW, WHO LIVES JUST DOWN THE STREET FROM HERE. AND HIS SERVICES WILL BE ON, ON, ON SATURDAY AS WELL ON A SUNDAY AND MONDAY, MONDAY, SUNDAY AND MONDAY. RIGHT. BELIEVE SO AND SO, RAY. HE WILL BE MISSED. AND THEN I ALSO WANT TO CLOSE IN HONOR OF SHARON PATTERSON, WHICH IS OUR CITY MANAGER'S MOTHER. AND SO WE WISH YOU CONDOLENCES AS WELL BILL. I'M GOING TO ASK THAT WE TAKE A MOMENT OF SILENCE.
