[7. SUMMER SCHEDULE DISCUSSION – (Community Services Commission) Verbal]
TAKE A VOTE.>> CHAIR AMERICAN SCARBOROUGH-ECKEL.
>> COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS-MARTINEZ.
WE WILL BE RESUMING MEETING COME SEPTEMBER AND WE WILL TAKE OFF JULY AND AUGUST.
I'LL START WITH COMMISSIONER ORDIAN WITH PARKS AND OPEN SPACES.
THE AAREA I'M GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT IS ON 42 BETWEEN 42 AND HIGHWAY 111 OR I MEAN I 10 BETWEEN MONROE AND JACKSON WHERE THE
[8. DEPARTMENT UPDATES – (Community Services Commission) Verbal]
WALMART IS.AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS PLAN CITY TO BUILD SOMETHING OR NOT BUT I FEEL LIKE IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE LIKE A SHOPPING CENTER OVER THERE LIKE A MALL WE HAVE BECAUSE THE INDIO AREA IS GROWING SO FAST AND BIG WITH US HOUSING AND EVERYTHING WITH THE TRAFFIC NOW
[00:05:04]
WE HAVE A LOT OF TRAFFIC WHICH ACTUALLY IS NICE TO SEE.SO, IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING MISSING OVER THERE LIKE A BIG STOPPING CENTER IF YOU VISUALIZE AND SEE IT I KNOW THERE'S AREAS FOR IS SALE BUT THIS IS WHAT I WOULD PROPOSE IF JIM CAN TALK TO CITY OR WE CAN BUILD SOMETHING.
BUT I THINK THAT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A BIG MALL AREA AND THAT WOULD BE NICE IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS.
>> I CAN COMMENT IF YOU WANT QUICK.
THOSE ARE BEING SOLD OFF BY LOTS.
SO THEY WERE PUT IN THE PLANS TO GO BY LOTS SO QUICK QUACK IS NOW IN THERE NOW AND ASHYS IS NOW IN THERE AND THEY'RE HOPING TO JUST KEEP FILLING THOSE IN AS WE GO ALONG DOWN TO THE ENDS OF WHERE WALMART IS AND BEYOND.
SO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, CARL MORGAN, DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IS THE ONE HEADING THAT AND HE'S CONSTANTLY LOOKING.
THERE'S SOME OTHER THINGS THAT WILL GO IN THERE.
THAT ARE ALREADY KIND OF ON THE HORIZON.
I'M NOT SURE IF THEY'RE NOT DONE THROUGH PLAN CHECK YET OR SUBMITTED PLANS BUT THERE ARE SOME OTHER RESTAURANTS AND SOME OTHER THINGS THAT WILL GO IN THAT AREA.
SO I DON'T THINK A MALL IS REALLY THE WAY TO GO WITH THAT.
AND THAT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME CASH.
AND I THINK IF WE TRY TO PUT A BIG MALL UP THERE IT WOULD DIE.
I THINK THE WAY TO GO IS WHAT CITY COUNCIL AND PLANNING COMMISSION DESIGNATED THAT AREA FOR FOR SHOPS AND OTHER TYPES OF COMPANIES GOING IN THERE LOT BY LOT NOT BIT WHOLE LOT.
AND IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE PROCESS.
I THINK IT WAS KIND OF PAUSED DURING THE COVID DEAL.
AND JUST STARTED OPENING LAST WEEK I BELIEVE OR WEEK BEFORE THAT.
AND OTHER SHOPS ARE GOING TO BE COMING.
I THINK IT'S A TWO OR THREE YEAR PLAN TO FILL THAT WHOLE AREA.
>> I KNOW THERE WAS I THINK LAST YEAR OR THE YEAR BEFORE CINEMAS PROPOSED.
>> THEY WERE PLANNING ONGOING ON AND SUPPOSED TO START AND GO FULL SPEED AHEAD UNTIL THIS THINGS HAPPENED.
SO AS ALL OF OUR THEATERS INCLUDING I PACK IT'S A WAIT AND SEE WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH IT AAND WHEN WE CAN FILL THEM UP AND GO FROM THERE.
ONE QUESTION DO YOU KNOW IF THERE'S ANY DEVELOPMENT OF MAYBE LUKE A CONDOMINIUMS OR HOUSING IN THAT AREA PLANNED.
>> I KNOW THERE'S MORE HOUSING GOING ON.
I DON'T THINK RIGHT THERE THERE WILL BE HOUSING FOR SURE.
WE'RE FULL OB THE NORTH SIDE OF 44 UP TO AVENUE 38, 39.
I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY HOMES OR APARTMENTS PLANNED FOR THAT AREA.
ONLY BECAUSE WE'RE LOOKING FOR SHOPS AND RESTAURANTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT ARE GOING TO GOOD IF IN THAT AREA.
>> ON THE WEST SIDE OF MONROE THEY CLEARED THAT UP AND REMOVED A LOT OF DEBRIS.
I THINK 100 ACRES FOR SALE I WOULDN'T DOUBT IF A WAREHOUSE WAS LOCATED THERE OF SOME KIND.
>> THEY CLEANED IT UP BECAUSE OF THE HOMELESS I THINK LIVING IN THOSE LARGE WEEDS THAT WERE LIKE BUSHES AND TREES.
THEY CLEARED THAT OUT THAT PROPERTY OWNER HAS PERHAPS FOR THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE HE HAS CONTROL UNLESS HE SELLS THEM TO SOMEBODY ELSE? THAT'S A PRIVATE LOT LIKE JIM SAID A LOT OF HOMELESS WILL SET UP CAMP AND OUR KOND FORCEMENT AND QUALITY OF LIFE OFFICERS WILL GO IN AND ASK THE LANDOWNER TO REMOVE THOSE PEOPLE.
SO YOU MAY SEE HOMELESS THERE FOR A EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME BECAUSE WE HAVE TO ENCOURAGE THE HOME -- LAND OWN TO GO AHEAD AND ASNIINGT REMOVING THOSE PEOPLE.
>> THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
I'LL MOVE FORWARD WITH COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS-MARTINEZ WITH THE INDIO PERFORMING ARTS CENTER.
WE'RE GOING TO START OPENING UP THE BUILDING IN JUNE AGAIN AND BRINGING BACK STAFF.
AND WE'RE TRYING TO PUT TOGETHER A SUMMER CAMP ALTHOUGH THERE'S SO MANY UNKNOWNS AS OF YET WITH THE MASK MANDATES AND SOCIAL
[00:10:03]
DISTANCING AND WHAT TYPE OF PERFORMANCE CAN HAPPEN INSIDE THE BUILDING.BUT WE'RE WORKING ON THAT EVERY DAY TRYING TO COME UP WITH WHAT WE CAN DO THIS SUMMER FOR THE KIDS TO GET THEM BACK INVOLVED BUT THE SEASON WILL RESUME IN SEPTEMBER.
WE WILL START RESUMING REGULAR SHOWS ME SEPTEMBER.
AND WE'RE ALSO LOOKING FOR MORE OFFICE SPACE DOWNTOWN TO EXPAND INTO THE DOWNTOWN AREA.
AND BRING BACK OUR ARTS WORKS PROGRAMS AND ALL THE OTHER FUN THINGS THAT WE'RE ANDING A REALLY, BUZZ YES, I EXCITING COMEBACK AND SEASON NEXT YEAR.
I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE -- WE GET A LOT OF EMAILS FROM CUSTOMERS WANTING TO KNOW WHEN WE'LL RETURN.
WE'RE JUST NOT QUITE THERE YET.
>> THANK YOU COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS-MARTINEZ.
ALWAYS GREAT TO HEAR ABOUT I PACK AND GREAT THINGS ARE YOU DOING FOR THE COMMUNITY.
COMMISSIONER WILCOXON WE'LL MOVE ON TO YOU WITH THE TEEN CENTER AND SENIOR CENTER.
>> I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY ACTIVITY.
SO I'M ASSUMING THEY'RE STILL CLOSED.
JIM, HAVE THERE BEEN ANY KIDS COMING BY THE TEEN CENTER?
>> YEAH, SO, YEAH, THE TEEN CENTER HAS BEEN OPEN SINCE SCHOOL WENT BACK.
>> SO I JUST NEED TO STOP IN AND SEE US BEFORE THE MEETING AND SEE HOW WE'RE DOING.
THE TEEN SENTER IS NOW FOUR DAYS -- IT WAS FOUR DAYS A WEEK WITH THE COHORTS WHEN DOING COHORTS A AND B NOW THAT THEY COMBINED THEM ALL COHORTS COME AND WE'VE BEEN HAVING 30, 35 KIDS EVERY DAY WHICH IS NOT A HUGE AMOUNT AND NOT BAD FOR -- THE PROBLEM IS 1, 12:30 SCHOOL GETS OUT AND THAT'S A GOOD TIME FOR KIDS TO YOU GRAB KIDS AND GO HOME BECAUSE IT'S THEIR LUNCH HOUR.
I THINK PARENTS REASON IN AA ROUTINE TO PICK UP KIDS AT LUNCHTIME AND TAKE THEM HOME AND GO BACK TO WORK.
HOPEFULLY THAT CHANGES IN A LITTLE BIT AND IT WILL SURE WILL CHANGE NEXT YEAR WHEN SCHOOL STARTS AGAIN.
I'LL GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THAT LATER.
>> THANK YOU XHIRTION WILCOXON.
THANK YOU, JIM I WILL REPORT ON THE GOLF COURSE.
IT'S PRETTY MUCH BUSINESS AS USUAL.
CAN'T BELIEVE PEOPLE ARE STILL OUT THERE HITTING BALLS BUT THEY ARE.
AND GOOD NEWS FOR THE GOLF COURSE.
PEOPLE ARE IN THERE MAILING THINGS AND I'M SURE JIM CAN ATTEST TO THAT THAT IT IS STILL DOING REALLY WELL.
SO WE WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH PARK --
OKAY WE'LL MOVE FORWARD ITEM NUMBER 8 PARK
[9. PARK UPDATES – (Community Services Commission) Verbal]
UPDATE I'LL START WHERE COMMISSIONER ORDIAN.THE PARKS NORTH JACKSON PARK, LOOKS GOOD.
EVERY TIME GO THERE I DON'T SEE MANY PEOPLE MAYBE ONE OR TWO CARS.
AGAIN WE HAVE -- COULD BE BECAUSE OF WIND OR COULD BE BE DIFFERENT FACTORS.
BUT THE PARK LOOKING GOOD AND INVITESING.
THERE'S NOT MUCH PEOPLE MANY PEOPLE THERE NOW AND OTHER ONE ALSO YUCCA PARK MAYBE ONE OR TWO FAMILIES.
FUNNY THING SHIELDS PARK I NOTICE THERE'S MORE PEOPLE OVER THERE LIKE THREE CARS.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT THE PARK IS BECOMING BUZZIER THAN OTHER TWO PARKS.
THERE WE ARE GETTING INTO SUMMERTIME IT WILL CONTINUE WITH HAVING LESS PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THE HEAT.
SO, BUT, AS OF NOW THE PARK LOOKS GREAT.
>> THANK YOU COMMISSIONER ORDIAN.
COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS-MARTINEZ.
>> MY PARKS ARE IN GREAT SHAPE I'VE SEEN MORE PEOPLE USING THEM.
RATHER THAN TEENS I'VE NOTICED MORE FAMILIES USING THE PARKS.
I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WILL CONTINUE AS THE HEAT COMES UPON US.
BUT, IT IS NICE TO SEE THE PARKS BEING USED NO, I THAT THE RESTRICTIONS ARE MORE LENIENT THAN BEFORE.
AND THE OTHER THING WANTED TO BRING UP TO THE COMMISSION IS IS I HAD TALKED ABOUT POSSIBLY US PUTTING TOGETHER A SCAVENGER HUNT ON SOMETHING IN THE CITY TO GET PEOPLE TO USE OUR PARKS AND SEE WHAT OUR PARKS ARE LIGHT SO.
HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET CITY STAFF TO WORK ON THAT TO DO
[00:15:04]
SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN THE FALL FT.COMMISSION WANTS TO GO FORWARD WITH THAT PLAN.
THANK YOU COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS-MARTINEZ.
COUPLE THINGS ABOUT BURR STREET PARK.
THE RECENT WINDS I THINK HAVE PUT A LOFT SAND INTO THE PARKING LOT.
YOU KNOW IT'S NOT TROUBLESOME BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD.
AND THEN I NOTICED THAT I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE IS A STONE SLAB AT THE FRONT OF THE PARK.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE ENGRAVED OR SOMETHING WITH BURR STREET PARK BUT IT'S BLAENK.
SO I WAS WONDERING WAS THERE ANY PLANS FOR THAT, JIM?
>> YEAH, THAT STONE IS SUPPOSED TO BE IDENTIFYING STONE FOR THAT PARK.
THE QUESTION WAS WHEN WE FIRST PUT IT UP, IN OUR ORDINANCE, WHEN WE DO A NEW PARK, IT AUTOMATICALLY TAKES THE NAME OF THE STREET THAT IT'S ON HENCE THE NAME BURR STREET PARK AND THEN CAN BE CHANGED BY US OUR COMMISSION RECOMMENDING SOMETHING THE CITY COUNCIL TO MOVE FORWARD TO CHANGE THAT NAME TO WHATEVER SOMEBODY MIGHT WANT TO CHANGE IT TO.
IT COULD BE BRIAN TELLLY PARK, WHO FLOWS.
IT HAS TO BE APPROVED BY US, RECOMMENDED TO CITY COUNCIL AND THEN SET UPIA COUNCIL APPROVES THAT.
WE THOUGHT WE WOULD HAVE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE SAYING THIS IS HOW WE WANT TO NAME THE PARK AND IT HAS NOT BEEN NAMED YET IT'S TAKEN ON BURR STREET PARK THE SAME AS MILES AVENUE PARK.
IF WE WANT TO KEEP IT BURR STREET PARK WE KEN GRAVE THAT STONE.
IF THAT'S SOMETHING WE WANTS TO DO.
BUT, YOU KNOW SOMETHING LIKE MILES AVENUE PARK I DON'T THINK THAT WILL EVER BE CHANGED BY ANYBODY.
BUT A BURR STREET PARK OR DR. CARREON PARK WHICH MAY NOT GET CHANGED BUT NAMED THAT BECAUSE IT'S ON DR. CARREON BOULEVARD.
I DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY ONEN GRAVERING IT WHEN WE MIGHT HAVE TO GET RID OF.
IT BUT, THAT'S WHAT THAT STONE IS FOR FOR SURE.
>> WELL, MAYBE WE CAN ALL THINK ABOUT A CITIZEN WE CAN HONOR.
>> YEAH, SOMEBODY IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
THERE'S A TON OF THEM THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO IF YOU WANT TO GET OUT AND TALK TO SOME PEOPLE OR YOU KNOW WHATEVER YOU GUYS WANTS WE CAN CERTAINLY RECOMMEND IT HERE.
BUT THEY'RE ALWAYS ONE TABLE FULL OF GUYS BUT THEY'RE PEACEFUL.
>> THANK YOU XLIRTION WILCOXON.
SO I HAVE PATTORN PARK I HAVE KIDS PLAGUE SOCCER AT CAHUILLA PARK AND PATTORN THE TENNIS COURTS ARE BEING USED CONSTANTLY IT'S NICE TO SEE PEOPLE USING THE PARKS AND I WANTED TO ADD TO WHAT COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS-MARTINEZ SAYS WOULD LIKE TO DO A SCAVENGER THOYNTS DUCE PEOPLE TO THE PARKS AND I WOULD LIKE TO DO YOGA OR SOMETHING IN THE PARK TO GET OUR PARKS OUT THERE.
AND SO THAT PEOPLE KNOW THEY ARE SAFE TO BE N I KNOW WHEN I WAS GROWING UP HERE IT WAS KINDS OF YOU DIDN'T WANT YOUR KIDS AT THE PARK.
BUT I THINK THAT THERE'S A DIFFERENT VIBE AT ALL THE PARKS NOW.
AND I THINK THAT THAT NEEDS TO BE PUT OUT.
THERE SO WE'LL MOVE FORWARD WITH UPDATES JIXT I'LL ASK JIM
[10. UPDATES - (Jim Curtis, CFEE, Community Services Manager) Verbal]
THAT FEASIBLE JIM.>> AND ADVERTISING THE LABOR THAT GOES INTO IT.
SO, I DON'T WANT TO DO IT JULY OR AUGUST BUT SEPTEMBER, WHOKT THINGS ARE OPENING BACK UP AND PEOPLE ARE GOING OUT TO PARKS I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA.
YEAH, WE'LL PLAN THAT OVER THE SUMMER TO HAVE IT HAPPEN IN FALL.
>> SO FAR AS ME AS UPDATES GO DON'T HAVE A TON OF UPDATES SENIOR CENTER AS I SAID I WOULD COME BACK TO IS GOING TO OPEN JUNE 14TH WHICH IS DAY GRT GOVERNOR WILL MAKE HAZE
