WELCOME AND THANK YOU FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.
EVERYONE MY NAME IS TAYLOR Â" I'M A HOMEOWNER IN THE CITY OF OWNER AND REGIONAL AFFORDABLE HOUSING WITH Â".
YOU ARE AWARE WITH OUR PARTNERS OF PARTICIPATION IN THESE MEANS THAT LONG BEFORE THE PANDEMIC TELEFILM AND MEET FAMILIES ESPECIALLY RENTERS WERE STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP WITH THE HIGH COST OF HOUSING.
WE KNOW OVER HAVE A CHILD THE RENTERS WERE RIGHT DRIVEN.
HALF OF THE FAMILIES WERE FORCED TO CHOOSE BETWEEN PAYING RENT AND PROVIDING FOR OTHER BASIC NECESSITIES SUCH AS FOOD, CHILDCARE, MEDICAL CARE AND MORE.
AS MY COLLEAGUES ON THE CALL TODAY WILL FURTHER EXPLAIN WE KNOW THE PANDEMIC HAS SEVERELY WORSENED THE ECONOMIC DISPARITY FOR RESIDENTS.
AS YOU KNOW BECAUSE WERE HAVING THIS MEETING AND IT'S ALSO OPEN UP NEW OPPORTUNITIES NEW FLEXIBLE RESOURCES TO HELP LOCAL COMMUNITIES TURN TO A PATH TO RECOVERY.
ACCORDING TO URGE THE CITY TO USE A PORTION OF THIS FUNDING TO INVEST IN THE LONG-TERM RECOVERY FOR THE CITY THROUGH THE PRODUCTION OF MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
WE KNOW THIS IS AN ALLOWABLE USE UNDER THE FUNDING GUIDELINES.
AND THE CITY IS RIPE FOR INVESTMENT IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
IN INDIA ALONE THERE ARE OVER THOUSAND UNITS OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE PIPELINE OF AFFORDABLE PROJECTS THAT ARE COMING TO THE CITY.
WHILE 102 OF THE UNITS ARE ALREADY UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
THERE'S A MUSCLE THOUSAND UNITS SPREAD ACROSS 4 DIFFERENT PROJECTS THAT ARE RIGHT FOR INVESTMENT FOR THE CITY.
THE CITY'S CONTRIBUTION TO THESE PROJECTS WILL ENABLE THEM TO COMPETE FOR MILLIONS, TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN OTHER FUNDIN SOURCES ALLOWING YOUR INVESTMENT TO GO FURTHER.
WE ALSO WOULD ENCOURAGE CONSIDER REGIONAL INVESTMENT INTO HOUSING SUCH AS THE CATALYST FUND BEING DEVELOPED BY OUR HOUSING CAN AND THAT HAS INVESTED IN THE FIRST 3 PROJECTS.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION.
WE ARE HERE TO URGE THE CITY TO INVEST IN THE LONG-TERM RECOVERY FOR THE CITY OF INDIO THROUGH THE PRODUCTION OF MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
IS THERE ADDITIONAL PUBLIC COMMENTS?
>> YES MER WE HAVE RUBY Â" ON THE LINE.
>> HEIGHT, MY NAME IS RUBIO ENORMUS HOMEOWNER THE STATE OF INDIO AND AS MY COLLEAGUE MENTIONED WE UNDERSTAND OUR FUNDS HAVE FLEXIBILITY TO SUPPORT VARIOUS EFFORTS AND WE URGE YOU CITY TO CONSIDER USING THESE FUNDS TO BRING IN MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
AS YOU KNOW FOR THAT RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM WE MET WITH DOZENS OF RESIDENTS OVER HUNDREDS WHO HAVE A VERY ENFORCEABLE WE KNEW BEFORE.
[00:05:02]
FOLKS HAVE BEEN REVERTED AND STRUGGLING TO GIVE UP THE RENT EVEN BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.THE RENT CONTINUES TO INCREASE AND THE SUPPLY OF HOUSING HAS BEEN REMAINS STAGNANT.
FOLKS HAVE BEEN HAPPY TO WORK 2 JOBS EVEN BEFORE THE PANDEMIC AND ARE STRUGGLING EVEN MORE SO NOW TO KEEP UP WITH THE RENT AND UTILITY BILLS AS A SUMMER HEADS.
WITH MORE COST NOW THAT KIDS ARE AT HOME IN ADDITIONAL EXPENSES THAT MUST BE MADE WE URGE THE CITY OF INDIO TO SUPPORT RESIDENTS AND WITH THANK THE CITY OF INDIA FOR SUPPORTING THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.
WE CREATE URGE THE CITY TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT A LONG-TERM SOLUTION TO BRING MORE STABILITY FOR FAMILIES BY PROVIDING MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
WE KNOW NOW MORE THAN EVER IT'S IMPORTANT TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO BRING IN MANY FAMILIES UP ON THEIR FEET POST PANDEMIC AND LONG-TERM HOUSING STABILITY IS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT FOR ECONOMIC RECOVERY AND IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR MANY RESIDENTS IN INDIO.
>> YES MER WE HAVE MICHAEL MEJIA.
>> MICHAEL YOU CAN UNMUTE PLEASE.
WHILE WE GET MICHAEL ON THE LINE WE HAVE SOMEONE FROM LIFT TO RISE.
>> HI I'M SORRY IT'S TAYLOR AGAIN.
I WAS USING LIFT TO RIGHTS ACCOUNT.
I'M HAPPY TO GO AGAIN IF YOU'RE ITCHING FOR MORE.
>> SINCE MICHAEL MEJIA, CA YOU UNMUTE SO YOU CAN HAVE 3 MINUTES TO SPEAK? DO YOU WANT TO COME BACK TO HIM MAYOR?
WHEN WE GET HIM BACK ON THE LINE WE WILL COME BACK TO HIM.
OKAY THERE BEING NO FURTHER PUBLIC COMMENT THAT I LIKE TO MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER 3 THE DISCUSSION ITEMS. CITY COUNCIL STRATEGIC PLANNING OVERVIEW.
[3. DISCUSSION ITEMS]
REVIEW PROJECT POTENTIALLY TO BE FUNDED BY THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT AND MEASURE ACT X FUNDS.I LIKE TO TURN THIS OVER TO OUR CITY MANAGER TO LEAD THE STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSION.
COME HAVE THE POWERPOINT UP NOW IF WE COULD.
WHILE THEY DO THAT THIS WEEK I COMPLETED MY SECOND MONTH AS THE CITY MAYOR.
WE SHOULD'VE HAD A CAKE OR SOMETHING FOR THAT.
I THINK IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO START BY AT LEAST SHARING MY IMPRESSIONS OF THE FIRST 2 MONTHS.
AND IN PART THE PROFESSIONAL STAFF WE HAVE THAT LEADS THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS AND DIVISIONS OF THE CITY.
I HAVE COLLEAGUES THAT IS THEY TAKE ON THE OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE IN A NEW COMMUNITY STRIVE TO BRING IN THEIR OWN PEOPLE IF YOU WANT TO PUT IT THAT WAY OR THE CLEAN HOUSE WHICH IS HAPPENING IN OTHER CITIES.
I WANT THE CITY COUNCIL AND COMMUNITY TO KNOW THAT WE ARE VERY, VERY WELL SERVED BY THE PROFESSIONAL STAFF, THE EXECUTIVE TEAM THAT'S LEADING THE ORGANIZATION.
AGAIN AS SOMEONE THAT'S BEEN DOING IT A LONG TIME.
THEY CARE, THEY ARE SMART, THEY ARE CAPABLE.
WE HAD A DRY RUN DISCUSSION ABOUT SOME OF THESE MATTERS ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND YOU COULD JUST TELL THE ENERGY AND THE DESIRE TO MAKE INDIO EVEN BETTER.
WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW AT CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.
SO THE DISCUSSION TODAY I WOULD HOPE WE WOULD GET INTO A LOT MORE DETAIL WE WANT TO BE REALISTIC AND WHAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH IN THESE NEXT 3 HOURS.
HOPING WE CAN GET TO A GOOD FEEL FOR SOME OF WHAT YOUR DIRECTION IS AS COUNCIL MEMBERS.
KNOWING THAT A FULL, CLEAR, AND STRATEGIC PLAN BE SOME MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD.
BUT THIS IS PART OF THE FOUNDATION.
I DO REFERRED TO SOME INITIAL SURVEY WORK THAT WAS DONE WITH COUNCILMEMBERS AS WELL AS EXECUTIVE TEAM.
THAT IS ONE PART OF THAT FOUNDATION THAT WE ARE BUILDING.
KNOWING WE NEED PUBLIC INPUT TO BE A PART OF THESE DISCUSSIONS AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC COMMENTS WE HEARD TODAY.
BROOKE IS LEADING AS YOU KNOW THIS OTHER BROADER COMMUNITY AND EVEN OUTSIDE THE COMMUNITY SURVEY.
WE DON'T HAVE THOSE RESULTS YET.
THAT'S ANOTHER PART OF THE FOUNDATION OF BUILDING ON WHAT SHOULD WE ACCOMPLISH PARTICULARLY NOW WE HAVE THE GOOD FORTUNE OF HAVING SOMEONE TIE MONIES AVAILABLE FOR CONSIDERATION.
AGAIN, I WANT TO REITERATE AS MUCH SINCERITY AS I CAN EXPRESS AS SOMEBODY WHO
[00:10:01]
KNOWS THAT THE WORK DONE BY THIS PROFESSIONAL STAFF I GOING TO REFLECT ON ME.THAT THE THINGS WERE GONNA TALK ABOUT TODAY, WE CAN GET ACCOMPLISHED.
NOW, WE WILL HAVE TO BE REALISTIC WITH WHAT OUR RESOURCES ARE BOTH STAFF ALWAYS AS WELL AS FINANCIALLY.
BUT THE PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE IS HERE.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE WAS AWARE ABOUT.
I WANT TO BRIEFLY COME MAYOR I APPRECIATE YOU GIVING ME THE FLOOR TO TALK ABOUT THE STRATEGIC PLAN CONCEPT.
THIS ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE AND I KNOW ALL THE THINGS YOU BEEN UP PART OF YOU GUYS BEEN PART OF STRATEGIC PLANNING HERE TO KNOW WHAT WERE TRYING TO DO IS MAKE SURE WE SET FORTH A CLEAR VISION OF WHAT WE WANT TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT WE WANT INDIO TO BECOME.
ADMISSION STATEMENT, THAT DESCRIBES HER PURPOSE.
PORTABLY EXIST AS AN ENTITY? AND THEN THESE VALUES AND ETHICS ARE THE BROAD, HOW DOES IT DESCRIBE US? LOOKING ORGANIZATION TO WE WANT TO BECOME? I WILL STATE AS I WILL SHOW YOU IN A COUPLE OF SLIDES HERE THAT YOUR PREVIOUS STRATEGIC PLANNING DISCUSSIONS AND THE GENERAL PLAN DISCUSSION IT'S ONLY A COUPLE YEARS OLD.
SO SOME OF THE DRAFTS I WILL SHOW YOU AREN'T FINAL.
THERE ARE SOME OF WHAT YOU ALREADY DISCUSSED.
I THINK YOU MIGHT NOT YOUR HEADS TO THOSE.
ONCE WE HAVE THOSE FIRST 3 STEPS IN MIND.
AGAIN WE WILL HAVE TO FOLLOW-UP IN FUTURE MONTHS TO GET THOSE FINALIZED.
WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU WANT AS A CITY COUNCIL FOR US TO FOCUS ON.
WE LIKE TO COVER EVERY ISSUE THAT'S COVERING AND IMPACTING THE COMMUNITY.
AS AN EXAMPLE TODAY TALKING TO KEVIN ABOUT THE SPAN OF CONTROL LIKE A DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR OR CITY MANAGER.
THE IDEA IS HOW MANY DIRECT REPORTS CAN YOU HAVE AND PROPERLY FOCUS? AND THERE OTHER STUDIES OUT THERE, 6 SEEMS TO BE A MAGIC NUMBER BUT NO MORE THAN 9.
ANY YOU SHOULDN'T PROBABLY HAVE MORE THAN 6 TO 7 TO PEOPLE REPORTING TO YOU.
USE AS AN EXAMPLE FOR US AT CITY COUNCIL THINKING W PROBABLY CAN'T FOCUS ON 15 AREAS OF STRATEGIC FOCUS.
NOT ONLY DO WE NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES FINANCIALLY, WE DON'T HAVE THE STAFF RESOURCES TO SPREAD OURSELVES THAT.
MUCH LIKE A LASER ABLE TO FIND 6 TO 7 AND 8 AND SAY THOSE ARE IT.
THOSE ARE WHAT WE OUGHT TO BE FOCUSED ON.
WHAT WE DO WHEN WE SET THOSE AREAS IN FOCUS WE SET GOALS.
FOR EXAMPLE IF PUBLIC SAFETY WHICH I'M SURE IT IS ONE OF THOSE.
PUBLIC SAFETY IS AN AREA OF FOCUS.
OKAY WHAT WE WANT TO ACHIEVE? WHAT CIRCLE PUBLIC SAFETY? IN THE VARIOUS ASPECTS OF IT? POLICE, FIRE, EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS.
UNDER THOSE GOALS AND AT ABOUT STRATEGIC AREA OF FOCUS WHAT ARE THE SPECIFIC ACTION ITEMS? DO WE HAVE TO SET FORTH AND ACCOMPLISH AND IF THEY ARE ACCOMPLISHED WILL HELP US ACHIEVE THE GOAL AND THAT STRATEGIC AREA.
SO YOU CAN SEE WERE NOT QUITE INTO THAT DETAIL TODAY.
TABLE TALK MOSTLY ABOUT ONE-TIME PROJECTS BECAUSE THERE'S ONE TIME WHEN HE AVAILABLE.
AS OF THE ACTION ITEMS. FOR EXAMPLE WE WILL DISCUSS OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY CAMPUS IN THE LEAST THAT INITIAL PHASE IS ONE OF THE ACTION ITEMS THAT HELP US ACHIEVE THE LEVEL OF SERVICE AND PUBLIC SAFETY WE WANT.
I DESCRIBED ACTION ITEM WILL BEGIN A WRITTEN DOCUMENT.
WE WILL HAVE ONE OF THOSE BOXES NEXT TO IT.
SO THAT WHEN IT'S ACCOMPLISHED WE CHECK IT OFF.
WE DID THE NEXT ONE, WE DID THE NEXT ONE.
IF WE ACCOMPLISH THOSE THINGS WE WILL THEN BE ABLE TO MAKE SURE THAT GOAL IS BEING MET.
IT IS TRUE THAT MANY OF THE PROJECTS WE HAVE WILL TAKE YEARS TO ACCOMPLISH.
WE CAN REPORT BACK TO YOU WHEN THIS PLAN IS DEVELOPED.
ON A QUARTERLY BASIS OR EVEN A MORE FREQUENTLY SO YOU KNOW WHAT ITEMS ARE BEING DONE.
WHAT IS THE STATUS? WE GET TO THAT DETAIL IT WILL BE CLEAR WHICH STAFF MEMBERS TAKING THE LEAD.
FOR EXAMPLE I KEEP PICKING ON THE PUBLIC SAFETY CAMPUS.
SCOTT TRUJILLO IS TAKING THE LEAD ON MANAGING THE PROJECT.
AND MANY OTHERS WILL MAKE IT POSSIBLE BUT HE'S GOING TO BE THE ONE ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE TO MAKE SURE IT HAPPENS.
EVERY ONE OF THESE ACTION ITEMS WILL HAVE A TEAM LEADER SOMEONE FOR THE TEAM EXECUTIVE TEAM PRIMARILY THAT WILL MAKE SURE THAT PROJECT IS GOING TO GET OVER THE GOAL LINE.
WITH A LOT OF HELP FROM A LOT OF PEOPLE.
YOUR SUPPORT IS COUNCILMEMBERS WITH THE FUNDING.
THAT'S MOST OF OUR DISCUSSION TODAY.
DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE AN QUESTIONS.
WE WILL GLOSS OVER SOME OF THESE BECAUSE WERE GETTING TO PROJECTS.
ONE EXPLAINED THE OVERALL CONCEPT OF WHY A STRATEGIC PLAN.
YOU CAN IMAGINE WHEN THIS IS DONE IN THOSE ACTION ITEMS UNDER PUBLIC SAFETY
[00:15:01]
THERE MIGHT BE 10, 15 ACTION ITEMS. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE SIT DOWN WITH YOU COUNCILMEMBERS DURING THE BUDGET PREP THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH MONEY, STAFF AND CASH TO ACCOMPLISH ALL THIS.THEN WE KNOW AS STAFF THIS IS EXACTLY TO THE DETAIL OF WHAT YOU WANT US TO ACCOMPLISH AT CITY COUNCILMEMBERS.
GO GET THAT DONE AS AMIR SAID WE USE THE ACRONYM GSD AROUND HERE.
GETTING THINGS DONE GETTING STUFF DONE.
HE WAS CITY COUNCILMEMBERS WILL BE ABLE TO HOLD UP THAT STRATEGIC PLAN AND THOSE ACTION ITEMS AND SAID WE SAID WE WOULD DO THESE 10 THINGS PUBLIC SAFETY.
THESE 2 ARE YET TO BE DONE BUT THERE UNDERWAY.
THE PEOPLE THAT ELECTED YOU, THE PEOPLE WE SERVE THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT.
THEY DON'T WANT US TO SIT AROUND AND TALK ABOUT IT.
THEY DON'T WANT US TO HOPE FOR IT.
THIS PLAN WILL GIVE US THAT WRITTEN DOCUMENT FOR THEM AS WELL.
SO FOR WHOM THAT WE SERVE THEY CAN PULL UP THAT STRATEGIC PLAN THAT WE ALL COMMITTED TO WHEN IT'S COMPLETE.
SAY HEY, HEY, THIS ITEM 1D THIS ACTION ITEM, I DON'T SEE YOU DOING ANYTHING ON THAT.
WHAT'S GOING ON? WHERE ARE WE NOT GETTING THAT ACCOMPLISHED? IF THAT'S STAFF MEMBER USE MY NAME AS PRIMA CAMRY IS THE TEAM LEADER ON WEDNESDAY.
I'M TAKING PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE THAT'S NOT BEEN ACCOMPLISHED.
WE HAVE THE PROFESSIONAL STAFF TO DO THIS.
SO, ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CONCEPT? IT'S FAIRLY CLEAR.
IN THE GENERAL PLAN AS A STATED YOU TALKED ABOUT A VISION.
THIS IS WHAT YOU WAS A COUNSEL MEMBERS BACK IN 2019 HAS STATED THAT INDIOS RECOGNIZES A VIBRANT COMMUNITY FOR ARTS, ENTERTAINMENT, EDUCATION, COMMERCE AND CULTURE.
THAT'S INTERESTING, NOT BAD, WE WANT ALL THAT.
THERE MIGHT BE SOME ARE CONCRETE THINGS AS WE MOVE ALONG IN THIS PROCESS OF THE STRATEGIC PLANNING.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO TWEAK ON THAT.
BUT, ANOTHER STEP IN THIS PROCESS IS PUTTING ONLINE LOT OF THESE ITEMS AND SEE IF THERE'S SOME PUBLIC INPUT AND IDEAS OF WHAT WE COULD CHANGE TO MAKE IT MORE CONCRETE.
IN 2012 THIS IS GOING BACK SOME YEARS.
THERE WAS A STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSION HELD WHEN THIS WAS A MISSION STATEMENT.
THIS ONCE UNIQUE AND IT TALKS ABOUT HE WAS COUNCILMEMBERS IN US AS A PROFESSIONAL STAFF THAT WE AS PUBLIC SERVANTS PROVIDE OUTSTANDING MUNICIPAL SERVICES TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR OUR RESIDENTS, VISITORS AND THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY.
WERE ENHANCING THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE PEOPLE AROUND US.
MOST OF THE RESIDENTS, SOME VISITORS, SOME OWN BUSINESSES BUT MAY NOT BE RESIDENTS.
THAT IS A SOLID MISSION STATEMENT.
SO AGAIN WHAT WE CAN DISCUSS TODAY WITH A BIG LUMP OF CASH, THIS BODY THAT'S COMING FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AS WELL AS OTHER RESOURCES THE CITY HOUSE.
LOOK AT ME ACCOMPLISHED TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR OUR RESIDENTS? THIS IS HARDER TO READ BUT BACK IN 2012 WE WENT THROUGH SOME VALUES.
AND FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY, EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE, HONESTY AND INTEGRITY.
CERTAINLY THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE AS WE GET TO THE POINT OF ADOPTING THE FORMAL ADOPTION OF A STRATEGIC PLAN SHOULD PROBABLY STATE IS PROBABLY LATER THIS FALL.
WE WILL HAVE TIME TO REVISE THESE AND SEE IF THEY STILL SEEM SOUND.
MIGHT WANT TO MOVE AHEAD WITH SOME CHANGES.
SO, TODAY I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE GOOD TO DISCUSS THESE AREAS OF FOCUS.
AGAIN, I WOULD HOPE MAYOR WITH YOUR POSITION THERE SOME OF THE DISCUSSION AND WE HAVE SOME FREE FLOW BOTH FROM COUNCILMEMBERS AND STAFF AS WELL AS WE TALK ABOUT THESE THINGS.
THE GOAL WOULD BE CAN WE GET CLOSE ON, YEAH, THOSE SEEM LIKE GOOD AREAS.
BACK TO MY EXAMPLE OF THE SPAN OF CONTROL.
WE PROBABLY NEED TO FIND OURSELVES NEARING THEM DOWN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BEING REALISTIC.
PROBABLY 6 TO 8 AREAS OF FOCUS.
TO GUIDE US, ONE OF OUR GREATEST NEEDS AS A COMMUNITY? WHAT IS PERCEIVED AS THE MOST CRITICAL TO BE ADDRESSED NOW? AND WHY THE STRATEGIC PLAN TO PLAY IS A 2 YEAR TO 5 YEAR PLAN.
BUT THE RESOURCES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO THE CITY CRITICALLY THE FEDERAL MONEY HAS A TIMEFRAME WITHIN IT NEEDS TO BE SPENT.
SO THE FEDERAL MONEY IS MORE OF A NOW WITHIN THE NEXT 2 OR 3 YEARS.
THEN ONE OF OUR BIGGEST OR HIGHEST PRIORITIES? THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT ARE NICE TO DO.
THERE ARE SOME THINGS WE SHOULD PROBABLY DO.
THEN THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE REALLY HAVE TO DO.
YOU'RE THE ELECTED OFFICIALS WE GET TO MAKE THOSE TOUGH DECISIONS WITH
[00:20:03]
INPUT FROM YOUR CONSTITUENTS AND SOME ADVICE FROM THE PROFESSIONAL STAFF.WHEN YOU PRIORITIZE SOMETHING DROPS OFF.
WHEN YOU SPEND $10 ON SOMETHING YOU NOW ARE NOT ABLE TO SPEND THAT $10 OR $10,000 ON SOMETHING ELSE.
WERE TALKING ABOUT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THIS IS PRETTY CRITICAL.
WHEN WE GET THE BEST BIGGEST BANG FOR ABOUT? WHERE'S THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PRIORITY? WE DID CONDUCT A VERY INFORMAL SURVEY.
STOP THE ONE THAT'S BEEN DONE UNITY WINE.
BUT THE QUESTION WAS ASKED WHAT ARE THE 3 BEST THINGS ABOUT THE CITY OF INDIO AS A COMMUNITY? MAYBE I'LL THROW IT OUT THERE AND THEN I'LL PULL UP THE WORD GRAHAM.
JUST BLURTING OUT, THE BEST 3 THINGS YOU CAN THINK OF AS INDIO AS A COMMUNITY?
>> MORE BASED ON THE PEOPLE, THE SUPPORT NETWORKS.
>> FAMILIES, NONPROFITS, CHURCHES, THEY'LL PLANT IN THE ROLE WITH SUPPORT PEOPLE.
I WAS TALKING TO SOME OF THE OTHER DAY.
YOU LOOK AT THE COACHELLA VALLEY IN THIS PERSON'S OPINION AND I HAVE TO AGREE.
THE ONLY DIVERSE COMMUNITY IN THE COACHELLA VALLEY IS INDIO.
CERTAINLY IS THE MOST DIVERSE.
>> SO SOME OF THE INPUT RECEIVED SO YOU KNOW THE CONCEPT OF A WORD GRAHAM RATHER THAN LIST EVERYTHING AND PUT HOW MANY PEOPLE SAID THIS AND HOW MANY PEOPLE SAID THAT.
JUST A QUICK SOFTWARE APPLICATION WE PUT IN THE FREQUENCY OF THE RESPONSES AND THEN YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
SO AS OF ITS LEGIBLE HERE BACK TO THE PEOPLE.
ONE OF THE TOP COMMENTS AND RESPONSES TO OUR SURVEY WAS THAT WERE FRIENDLY, FESTIVALS, DIVERSITY.
AN IMPORTANT BECAUSE NOT EVERY COMMUNITY IN THE VALLEY IS THAT WAY.
HOUSING, I THINK THERE'S HOUSING AVAILABLE AND LESS EXPENSIVE HERE THAN OTHER PLACES.
THAT MIGHT RELATE TO FRIENDLY AND PEOPLE.
IT'S A LARGEST CITY, HISPANIC PRIDE.
AS I LOOKED THROUGH THE SURVEYS I THINK FRIENDLY WAS ON MORE THAN HALF OF EVERYONE THAT RESPONDED.
THAT'S GREAT TO BE KNOWN AS A FRIENDLY COMMUNITY.
SO WHAT ARE INDIO'S BIGGEST CHALLENGES? WHAT COMES TO MIND QUICKLY ON SOME OF THE CHALLENGES? MR. PRICE.
YET WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO.
>> BUSINESSES THAT CAN'T GET EMPLOYMENT.
>> AFFORDABLE AND ATTAINABLE HOUSING.
THERE'S SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY AND IT'S ATTAINABLE AND INSUPPORTABLE.
>> PR SALES TAXES GOING NEXT-DOOR.
>> SURVEYED RESIDENTS AND ASKED THEM HOW A SALES TAX CALCULATED.
THAT WHEN I JUST BUY GAS IN LA QUINTA BECAUSE IT'S MORE CONVENIENT ON MY WAY HOME I JUST LEFT ALL OF THAT SALES TAX IN LA QUINTA.
IT'S HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT WAS SPENT OUTSIDE THE COMMUNITY.
WE NEED TO KEEP THOSE TAX DOLLARS IN TOWN.
I GET BACK TO THE SURVEY RESULTS.
NOT A DESTINATION OLD, NOT ENOUGH RENTAL HOUSING.
TO THOSE RESONATE AS WELL? I THANK YOU TALKED ABOUT A LOT OF THOSE.
[00:25:03]
THE LEAKAGE IS IMPORTANT TO BE ON HERE FOR MATTEL'S SALES TAX PERSPECTIVE.SO WHAT ARE THE 3 BEST THINGS THE CITY ORGANIZATION COULD DO TO MAKE THE BIGGEST IMPACT? WHAT ARE SOME THINGS WE CA DO TO HELP MAKE IT HAPPEN?
>> INFRASTRUCTURE, ROADS, WATER.
THAT GOES FROM WATER TO BROADBAND TO BRIDGES TO ROADS.
SOME OF THAT IS UNDERGROUND AND NOT EVERYBODY SEES IT AND IT COST A LOT OF MONEY.
OF FLOW-THROUGH HOW TO BETTER CAPTURE THEM IN THEIR MONEY? WE TALKED ABOUT CLEAN AND SAFE AND YOU SEE HOW THESE THINGS AS DID THE RESPONSES TO THE SURVEY.
INFRASTRUCTURE, BEAUTIFICATION, REVITALIZING DOWNTOWN.
BUILD PRIDE, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.
>> WILL WE DO ALL THIS AND ACCOMPLISH PIECES OF THIS WEATHER IT'S CLEAN AND SAFE AND WERE INVITING PEOPLE HERE BECAUSE WE HAVE ATTRACTED RESTAURANTS AND MORE EVENTS AND ETC. WE SOMEHOW HAVE TO GET THE WORD OUT.
SO THIS WHOLE BRANDING CONCEPT, WHO IS INDIO AND HOW DO WE LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER ON A REGULAR BASIS.
I LISTEN TO THE SHOP LOCAL COMMERCIALS FOR THE CITY OF THE QUINTA AND EGGNOG SEE HIM AND IT MAKES ME CRAZY AND WE NEED TO HAVE THESE COMMERCIALS AND INDIO AS WELL AND WE NEED TO HAVE THE THINGS THAT BACK UP WAS A SHOP LOCAL WHAT IS AVAILABLE.
MANY PEOPLE SAY THERE'S NO MUCH AVAILABLE.
SOON WILL BE SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 111.
THE ABILITY TO CREATE THAT BRAND.
THAT IMAGE THAT SINGLE FOCUS THAT RESONATES WITH PEOPLE.
SO THAT PEOPLE GET HERE AND COME HERE NOW BUT THEY'RE GETTING INTO WHEN THEY GET HERE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT.
I THINK THERE IS A PERCEPTION AS SOMEONE NEW TO THE COMMUNITY.
I THINK THAT'S ONE OF HER NEXT QUESTIONS.
IT ISN'T AS POSITIVE AS WE WANTED TO BE.
[00:30:01]
HOW DO WE HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A LOT HERE ALREADY AND THAT WERE HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION? IF WE DON'T TELL PEOPLE WHAT'S GOING ON.THERE'S THAT OLD ADAGE IF YOU DID SOMETHING AND NO ONE KNOWS IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
THERE IS THAT EFFORT UNDERWAY.
THAT WAS MENTIONED BY FEW FOLKS IN AN IMPACT COULD BE THIS BRANDING AND MARKETING.
WHO ARE WE? WHY IS IT A GREAT PLACE TO DO BUSINESS? WHY IS IT A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE? IT'S THE OLD ELEVATOR SPEECH SCENARIO.
IF YOU'VE HEARD OF THE EXAMPLE.
THE IDEA IS TO BE WRITING AN ELEVATOR YOU HAVE ABOUT 20 SECONDS TO COMMUNICATE SOMETHING TO SOMEBODY IF THEY ASK A QUESTION.
IF I'M STANDING ON THE ELEVATOR I'M AT A CONFERENCE OR WHATEVER AND IT HAS MY NAME THAT SAYS THE CITY OF INDIO, BRIAN MONTGOMERY.
SOMEONE STANDING THERE AND SAYS WHY SHOULD I RELOCATE MY BUSINESS TO INDIO? I'VE GOT 20 SECONDS.
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THIS IS PART OF THE EFFORT THAT EVERYONE OF US CAN AGREE WITH THAT 22ND SHOULD BE AND WE BOUGHT MEMORIZE IT.
SO DON'T SIT THERE AND STAMMER BY THE TIME THE ELEVATOR OPENS PERSON SAYS HELLO, I'M NOT TAKING MY BUSINESS THERE.
CITY MANAGER DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHY HE SHOULD BE THERE.
WE NEED TO ARTICULATE THAT MESSAGE AND HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
WHAT ARE SOME REASONS PEOPLE WOULD LIVE RELOCATE THEIR BUSINESS, WOULD NOT LIVE OR NOT RELOCATE THE BUSINESS? THIS IS THE PAINFUL ONE AS IT CAME IN.
IN FACT THERE WERE A COUPLE OF RESPONSES ACTUALLY USE THE WORD DIRTY AND I TOOK THOSE OFF.
THERE'S A HOMELESSNESS PERCEPTION.
WORKING TO GET SMART FROM THE OTHER SURVEY BUT THIS IS SOME OF THE PERCEPTION OF WHY MAYBE WE AREN'T HAVING SUCCESS WE NEED TO HAVE.
SO NOT ONLY DO WE NEED TO TELL PEOPLE IT'S NOT THIS PARTY YOUR DISCUSSION TODAY AND ALL OF OUR EFFORTS AND EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM AND THE 250 MEMBERS OF TEAM INDIO IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS A RESPONSIBLE WERE DONE WHEN WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD OVER THE YEARS.
THE PEOPLE CAN'T SAY IT'S UNATTRACTIVE.
THEY CAN'T SAY THERE'S A HUGE CRIME PROBLEM OR HOMELESSNESS PROBLEM OR THAT WERE THE LOW INCOME COMMUNITY IF THERE'S A DEROGATIVE NATURE TO THAT.
ALL SAFETY TO PERCEIVE INDIO TO BE? SAFETY IS THE CORE FOUNDATION OF ALL THAT FOLLOWS WITH REGARD TO LOCATING A BUSINESS, LOCATING YOUR FAMILY.
HARD TO SEE BUT THE OPPORTUNITY OR THE ANSWER POTENTIAL ANSWERS WERE VERY SAFE, SAFE, SOMEWHAT SAFE OR NOT SAFE.
THERE WAS NOBODY THAT WAS SURVEY THAT SAID WERE VERY SAFE.
MAYBE 2 THIRDS SAID SOMEWHAT SAFE.
OR MAYBE 1/4 SAID THEY DON'T FEEL SAFE.
PERCEPTION, REALITY, MAYBE IT DOESN'T MATTER.
IF IT'S ONLY PERCEPTION WE NEED TO CONVINCE PEOPLE IT'S NOT TRUE.
THAT SHOULD PROBABLY BE PART OF OUR EFFORTS.
WE LOOKED AT SOME OF THE NUMBERS IN THE PROGRESS THAT'S BEEN MADE OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS WERE HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
THAT PERCEPTION IS FROM YEARS AGO.
WHAT YOU CALL WHAT'S YOUR COMMENT ON THAT? MOST OF US FEEL SAFE BUT THERE ARE SOME IN OUR COMMUNITY ARE SOME THAT WE THINK ABOUT MOVING HERE AND THAT'S A DETRACTOR? COMMUNITIES HAVE EVER THOUGHT FL THERE UNDERSERVED BY POLICE AND
[00:35:25]
FIRE.MOVING BACK TO THE BRANDING AND MARKETING AND IS NOW CRITICAL THAT MAY BE AS A PARTY TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND.
ARE THERE SOME AREAS THAT WE NEED TO FOCUS ON DRIVEN AROUND AND I POPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND WALKED? THERE ARE A FEW I THINK SOME MORE FOCUS NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE.
IN HELPING THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS TAKE PRIDE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
CODE ENFORCEMENT IS A PART OF THAT.
HELPING THEM TAKE PRIDE IN IT.
TELL THE STORY OF THE STAFF TEAM GATHERED A GROUP IN A FAMILY WHERE WHENEVER ANYONE OF US MY BROTHER AND SISTERS CAN'T ALIGN MY DAD WOULD SAY MONTGOMERY'S DON'T DO THAT.
I WOULD HOPE TO GET TO THE POINT WITH REGARD TO HOW WE ALL IN THE COMMUNITY MAINTAIN OUR PROPERTIES .
AND INDIO RESIDENTS VIDEO WE DON'T DO THAT.
WE TAKE PRIDE IN WHAT WE HAVE AND THERE'S A PROCESS THAT I THINK WE NEED TO GO THROUGH TO HELP SOME OF THOSE AREAS IN THE COMMUNITY THAT MAY BE LACKING.
THEY ARE SAFE BUT THE PERCEPTION MAY NOT BE SUCH AS RESTATING.
>> WHAT IS SAFE MEAN? RIGHT? A LOT OF IT IS PERCEPTION.
THERE'S A FEW HOT POCKETS AND IT'S PERCEPTION OF HOW IT LOOKS.
SO THEN THERE'S A PERCEPTION THAT I DON'T THINK, WE HAVE SUCH AN EXTRAORDINARY POLICE DEPARTMENT I THINK IT'S A PERCEPTION ISSUE AND WHAT IS SAFE.
HIS BODILY INJURY OR IS IT THEFT? WHAT DO PEOPLE WHEN THEY SAY IT'S NOT SAFE MEAN? SOME PEOPLE SAY THERE'S A PROPENSITY FOR DRUGS IN THIS PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD.
BUT, IT'S NOT REALLY NOT SAFE? OR IS THAT AN ISSUE THAT WE CAN WORK TO RESOLVE GOING BACK TO THE NEED FOR COMMUNITY TO PULL TOGETHER.
>> CHIEF, TO AN ECHO OR CHIME IN ON SOME OF THE DISCUSSION ABOUT PERCEPTION AND REALITY WE.
>> ASK EXTREMELY HARD TO SHAKE.A 5-YEAR AVERAGE.
LOOK AT VERSES LUSTER LUSTER WAS AN ANOMALY BECAUSE WE WILL SHUT DOWN.
LOOKING AT WHAT IS MARK TWAIN SAYING? LIVES, AND STATISTICS? IF YOU LOOK ENTER NUMBERS OR DOING MUCH BETTER THAN WE EVER HAVE.
AND THE TREND CONTINUES TO BE THERE.
THAT'S WHERE THE.[APPLAUSE] THERE.
>> I THINK MOST OF THE TIME WHEN I HEAR PEOPLE THINKING OF UNSAFE PLACES IT'S USUALLY OUR PARKS.
INDIO BOULEVARD IS TO BE AN UNSAFE PLACE OR PERCEPTION LINES FOR PEOPLE.
I SEE A LOT OF ACTIVITY THERE AS WELL.
I ALSO THINK THE FOOT TRAFFIC, THE LACK OF A TRAFFIC.
AM I NOT BE A LOT OF HOMELESS PEOPLE THERE.
THE FACT THAT THERE'S NOBODY ELSE THERE PERCEPTION IS IT'S ABOUT PLACE TO BE.
YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO RUN INTO PEOPLE WHO HAVE ISSUES THERE.
>> YOU COULD TAKE AN EXAMPLE OF A PARK WITH HOMELESS AND SO IT'S CHICKEN OR EGG.
WITH SOME HOMELESS THERE PERHAPS SOME RESIDENTS DON'T WANT TO GO TO THE PARK.
THE REALITY IS THE MARIA'S NETWORK MORE THE HOMELESS WILL FIND SOME OTHER PLACE.
WE'VE GOT TO FIND A WAY OF ACTIVATING THE SPACES.
IT'S A VERY COMMON TERM IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
EFFECTIVELY TO THE SPACE MOST PEOPLE WILL SELF POLICE.
BUT, IF IT'S TO BAD THE PERCEPTION IS TO BAD THEY DON'T SHOW UP THAT WE DEACTIVATE THE POLICE.
[00:40:03]
TEAM.THE NUMBERS ARE REALLY NOT THAT HIGH IF YOU WANT TO PUT INTO PERSPECTIVE.
THEY'RE GOING DOWN BUT, THERE ARE SPACES, SHELTERS ALMOST ALL THE TIME.
ALMOST ALL OF THE TIME THERE IS SOME PLACE FOR THESE PEOPLE TO GO BUT SOME ARE UNWILLING FOR WHATEVER REASON.
THERE ARE NUMBER OF REASONS WHY.
SOMETHING TO KEEP IN THE BACK OF THE MIND AS YOU STATED.
THERE'S SOME THINGS WE CAN DO.
IT IS AMAZING LIKE THE OLD BROKEN WINDOW THEORY.
TRACY COULD GIVE US A BETTER EXPLANATION ON.
ONE PROPERTY LOOKS BAD AND RUN DOWN THE WINDOWS BROKEN IF IT'S NOT REPAIRED GRAFFITI IS ON THE WALL AND IS NOT REMOVED IT GETS CONTAGIOUS.
RIGHT? THE OTHER THING HAPPENS TO YOU ALL.
SO ONCE YOU PICK UP THE PROPERTY AND SOMEONE SAYS YOU SEE IT NICELY MOUNTS CAPED AND NOW IT'S MORE LIKELY THE NEXT ONE WILL BE THAT WAY AND TO THE MAYOR'S POINT CLEANLINESS ACTUALLY AFFECTS THE PERCEPTION OF PUBLIC SAFETY.
IF IT LOOKS OLDER RUN DOWN THEN SOMEHOW AND MAYBE GENERAL, IT MAY NOT BE.
BEAUTIFICATION IS A KEY COMPONENT TO THAT EFFORT.
THAT WAS MAYBE SOME BACKGROUND TO KICK OFF SOME OF THIS DISCUSSION.
THERE WAS NOTHING REALLY THAT SURPRISED ME OTHER THAN PERHAPS THE NUMBER OF RESPONSES THAT DID TALK ABOUT BEAUTIFYING THE COMMUNITY.
SO YEAH, WHEN YOU GO TO OTHER PARTS OF THE VALLEY YOU DO SEE A DIFFERENCE.
IF THAT'S SOMETHING WE THINK WOULD HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON PUBLIC SAFETY AND SO FORTH.
SOMETHING TO CONSIDER AS WE MOVE AHEAD.
OKAY I'M SORRY, IF YOU $1 MILLION HOW WOULD YOU SPEND IT TO IMPROVE INDIO? SO REVITALIZING DOWNTOWN, BEAUTIFICATION, POWERED SUBSTATION, HIGHWAY 111, PARKS, BROADBAND, SIGN ORDINANCE, HOUSING, LIGHTING WHAT ARE SOME OTHER THOUGHTS? NOT EVERYBODY GOT A CHANCE TO RESPOND TO THIS QUESTION.
WHAT COMES TO MIND THAT MAYBE YOU DON'T SEE ON THAT WORD GRAHAM IF WE HAD $10 MILLION.
HOW WOULD YOU SPEND IT TO TRY TO IMPROVE INDIO?
WE DON'T HAVE A HUGE VOLUME OF THEM BUT THOSE THAT WE HAVE CAN CERTAINLY BE ACTIVATED AND IMPROVED, BEAUTIFYING.
>> WE DO HAVE A HUGE VOLUME OF THEM BUT WE JUST HAVEN'T APPROVED THEM.
>> WHEN I GOT HERE 2004 WE WERE SO EFFICIENT A PARKLAND THAT WE DOUBLED IT BUT WE NEVER IMPROVED IT.
IN FACT I LEARNED ONE FOR THE MAYOR THERE'S 10 ACRES ON MONROE WHETHER IT'S A PARK ABOUT OUR NEW STILL.
>> I THINK, BEFORE IT CAME ON COUNSEL ATTENDED RIBBON-CUTTING OF WHEN THE PARKS AND I'LL NEVER FORGET IT.
HE SAID THIS IS YOUR PARK AND YOU NEED TO MAINTAIN IT AND YOU NEED AND I WAS LIKE WOW THAT SOUNDS HARSH.
I KNOW WE ARE COMING FROM NOW.
IT WAS TRYING TO FOSTER THAT SENSE OF PRIDE.
I THINK PARKS, I AGREE WITH THAT BUT WE NEED MORE ACTIVITY IN THE CITY.
WE NEED PLACES, WE NEED RESTAURANTS, WE NEED A MOVIE THEATER.
WE NEED THINGS FOR PEOPLE TO DO SO PEOPLE ARE OUT WALKING OR PLAYING BALL OR HAVING A SUNDAY PICNIC.
BECAUSE OF JACKSON PARK USED TO HAVE AMAZING NUMBER OF SUNDAY PICNICS.
BECAUSE THE MORE PEOPLE THAT ARE OUT DOING THINGS AND HAVING FUN THAT'S WHEN WE THAT MAKES THE PERCEPTION EVOLVE.
>> CRIME OR SAFETY AND SO FORTH.
SHOULD A STATED IN SHELLEY'S HANDS ALREADY SORE.
WERE TAKING COPIOUS NOTES OF EVERYTHING YOU'RE SAYING.
ON A MAKE SURE YOU KNEW ALL OF YOUR COMMENTS ARE BEING TAKEN DOWN SO WE CAN Â" THIS TOGETHER.
AT THE END OF OUR DISCUSSION TODAY STAFF HAS A LOT OF WORK TO DO.
TOGETHER IN EVERYTHING WILL BE DISCUSSING MAKING SURE WE DO THE RESOURCES NEEDED TO BRING BACK THE SPECIFICS SO YOU COULD SIT DOWN USING THE RIGHT PREDECESSORS TERM ABOUT WHAT'S ABOVE THE LINE AND WHAT'S NOT.
WHEN HE GETS ALL THAT DETAILED TODAY BUT WHAT YOU'RE FEEDING NOW IS ARE CREATING THIS FOUNDATION OF DIRECTION FOR STAFF ARE WHAT'S CRITICAL.
BACK TO THIS MORNING, PARKS, IF YOU HAD $10 MILLION?
[00:45:03]
>> WE NEED MORE THAN 2 MILLION.
>> WE DO A TERRIBLE JOB OF MEETING EVERYTHING WE HAVE.
WE NEED PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE.
CITY HALL NEEDED TO BE PAINTED.
WE BUILD IT AND WE NEED TO MAINTAIN IT.
PARKS ARE NOT ALWAYS MAINTAINED.
WE'VE GOTTEN SO FAR BEHIND ON MAINTENANCE THAT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO GET IT BACK TO WHERE IT IS.
HAVE TO BUILD STUFF AND THEN MAINTAIN IT AND THEN PROVIDE LANDSCAPING DO HER HOMEWORK.
IT WAS BEAUTIFUL 10 TO 15 YEARS AGO.
AND THE PLANTS NEED TO BE PULLED OUT AND WE DON'T DO THAT.
WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF OUR BUILDINGS AND LANDSCAPING.
OTHERWISE IT WILL ALWAYS LOOK TIRED.
>> THAT IS THAT ONGOING RECURRENT COMMITMENT THAT HAS TO BE MADE IF WE WANT THAT QUALITY.
THE POINT THAT'S BEING MADE WITH SOMEONE THAT IS A BUSINESS.
SOMETIMES YOU GOTTA SPEND QUITE A BIT OF MOANING UPFRONT.
ONE TIME TO GET TO THAT LEVEL AND AT THAT POINT IT'S EASIER TO MAINTAIN IF YOU KEEP IT THERE.
IF YOU LET YOUR HOUSE GET 30 IT'S CAN TAKE A LOT OF TIME TO CLEAN IT UP.
IF YOU KEEP IT CLEAN YOU JUST TOUCHING UP.
WE MAY NEED A ONE-TIME INFUSION AS YOU HAVE THIS DISCUSSION OVER TIME.
ON-TIME INFUSION TO GET US TO THE LEVEL WHERE THEN IT'S EASIER TO MAINTAIN.
AND WE NEVER HAVE ENOUGH REVENUE TO INVEST BACK INTO THE FP.
EVERY YEAR SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE HOPEFUL THAT WE FINALLY HAVE A SURPLUS THERE'S ALWAYS INSURANCE INCREASES MILLION DOLLARS.
THERE'S ALWAYS EXPENSES THE END OF EATING ANY ADDITIONAL SURPLUS WE HAVE.
SO EVERYTHING IS BACK TO LEAKAGE.
IF WE CAPTURE SOME OF THAT LEAKAGE THAT WE HAVE THE ADDITIONAL REVENUES THAT WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO INVEST IN THE CITY.
THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE TO CAPTIONING THE LINKAGES WE DON'T HAVE MUCH OFFER.
WE HAVE THE BASIC DAY-TO-DAY PROBLEMS NO ONE'S EVER GONNA COME AND SHOP.
SAY WHAT CAN GO TO LA QUINTA GET EVERYTHING I CAN GO TO AMAZON AND GET EVERYTHING.
TO ATTRACT, LIKE A NICE CLOTHING STORE WE NEED TO FRESHEN UP AND BEAUTIFY AND GIVE PEOPLE CONFIDENCE THAT ALMOST SO THEY KNOW THE GOOD OF RETURN ON THEIR INVESTMENT.
TO SEE THE CHICKEN AND THE EGG.
WE NEITHER PLENTY NOW TO BEAUTIFY IT SO WE GET THEM HERE.
ONE-TIME INVESTMENT MIGHT HELP ON THAT.
THERE'S A POINT I WILL OFFER WITH REGARD TO NOT JUST PARKS BUT ANY ELEMENT.
LET'S SAY WE HAVE 13 PARKS, CORRECT ME AND THAT MIGHT BE RIGHT.
WE REALISTICALLY ONLY HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO MAINTAIN THE LEVEL IS YOUR STANDARD AND IT'S MY PERSONAL STANDARD TO ONLY MAINTAIN 11 IS THERE A TOUGH DECISION TO MEETING? MAYBE, MAYBE NOT? BACK TO THE ISSUE OF FOCUSING.
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO STEP BACK AND SAY YOU KNOW JUST CAN'T.
OR 2 OF THEM ARE GOING TO BE LOWER EXPECTATION 10 OF THEM CAN MEET HER EXPECTATION.
THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH MONEY UNTIL WE GET MORE WE'VE GOT TO DECIDE WORK WE MAKE THE BIGGEST BANG FOR THE BUCK.
ONE THING I THINK IT'S PERSONALLY IMPACTFUL FOR ME AND EVERY PERSON IS DIFFERENT.
WHEN YOU CAN ARRIVE INTO A COMMUNITY AND SAY WOW, I'M SOMEPLACE DIFFERENT.
YEARS AGO TEXAS FOR EXAMPLE IN ALL THE FREEWAYS AND THE INTERSTATE GOING INTO TEXAS THEY WOULD PUT RED CINDERS WHICH IS A RED SLURRY SEAL SO THAT THE FIRST MILE PUTTING ENTER TEXAS YOU HAVE THIS REALLY BEAUTIFUL ASPHALT.
THEN THEY STOPPED AND WHAT THEY WANTED PEOPLE TO KNOW WHEN YOU LEFT NEW MEXICO
[00:50:04]
YOU ARRIVED IN TEXAS.OR IF YOU CAME FROM ARKANSAS, NO THIS IS TEXAS THIS IS DIFFERENT.
WE HAVE SOME GATEWAYS, ARE THEY CONSISTENT AND IMPACTFUL? PROBABLY NOT.
AS A POINT WHERE THIS IS HEADED SOMEWHERE.
BUT IF WE AREN'T WISE ON HOW WE DESIGN THOSE THAT COULD BE VERY HIGH MAINTENANCE VERY LOW MAINTENANCE.
THEY COST A LOT OF MONEY OR BE MODERATELY EXPENSIVE.
JUST ONE IDEA A FEW PEOPLE PUT FORWARD.
SOME OF THESE LIKE BROADBAND AND STREETS AND SOME OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE.
THEY AREN'T AS VISIBLE UNFORTUNATELY.
WE NEED TO SPEND MONEY ON THEM.
STREET CONDITION ABOVE THE GROUND IS VISIBLE.
HOW WILL WE MAINTAIN OUR PROPERTIES.
WHEN I MENTIONED THAT WE COULD DO BETTER CUSTOMER ASKING OTHERS TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR PROPERTIES.
AS A CITY IF WE OWN A PIECE OF PROPERTY WHAT MESSAGE ARE WE SENDING? I THINK OF JUMPING A HEAD OF MYSELF HERE.
>> IF I CAN JUMP IN FROM A PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE.
PEOPLE I TALKED TO BECAUSE I AM A SMALL OWNER WILL COME IN AND THEY GO OH, I WISH.
WISH THERE WERE SITDOWN RESTAURANT.
I WISH THERE WERE A DRUGSTORE.
RIGHT? I WILL MORE PERSON TELL ME ABOUT HOW WONDERFUL MILES AVENUE WAS IN THE SHOE STORE IN THE DRUGSTORE AND THE GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH.
AND THE MEN STORE THAT SOLD SUITS.
THEY COME INTO SEGMENTS OF HER SITTING GIRL, THERE'S NOBODY HERE.
SO WHEN YOU WALK INTO A PLACE AND YOU SEE 3 OR 4 OR 5 HOMELESS.
IF ON A PENNY EVERY TIME I TELL SOMEBODY HATE, TO BOTHER YOU.
REALLY THEY'RE NOT GONNA BOTHER YOU.
AND THEY WOULDN'T BOTHER YOU AND THEY WON'T EVEN BE NOTICED IF THERE WERE 500 OTHER PEOPLE WONDERING AROUND THE STREETS AND OUT OF THE STORES.
SO SOMEHOW GETTING THOSE FIRST COUPLE ENTICING THIS FIRST COUPLE OF BUSINESSES WHETHER IT'S DOWNTOWN OR HIGHWAY 111 OR WHATEVER.
THEN CREATING EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES IN ADDITION TO AND AROUND THAT THE MORE PEOPLE, THE MORE ACTIVITY THE LAST SOME OF THIS OTHER STUFF EXIST TO A MUCH LARGER EXTENT WOULD BE NOTICEABLE.
SO SOME OF THAT DISCUSSION AND NOT TO TALK ABOUT.THE DOOR.
SIT ON THE SIDEWALKS OF THE TABLES.
[00:55:03]
SMILING.PAYMENT EXTRA 10 BUCKS AN HOUR FOR SMILE.
WE HAVE ALL THESE PEOPLE WALKING AROUND AND NO ONE KNOWS THAT WE PAY THEM.
LIKE 30 BUCKS AN HOUR TO WALK AROUND AND BE HAPPY.
>> OUR TEAM FIRST OF ALL OF ALWAYS SAID IS MOST OUTSTANDING TEAM.
THIS MIND COULD FIND A NICKEL AND GET $800 OUT OF IT.
YOU'RE SUCH A GREAT STEWARD OF OUR FINANCES AND YOU HAVE SUCH A SENSE.
A CITY MANAGER MIKE SETTING UP TAX.
I WAS SO EXCITED I WAS JUMPING UP AND DOWN.
THEN I THOUGHT WELL LOOK ACROSS THE STREET.
THERE'S THESE BUILDINGS THAT ARE TERRIBLE AND THE WINDOWS ARE AWFUL AND ARE SCRATCHED IN THE WRITTEN ON IT AND YOU HAVE TO DRIVE UP REALLY DO AND THERE'S DOWN PALM TREES BECAUSE THEY FALLEN DOWN OR THE AUTOZONE I MEAN THAT'S WHEN PEOPLE GO TO HIGHWAY 111 AND GO EW AND EW TRANSLATES INTO NO SAFE.
BUT I'M THINKING OF IS HOW DO WE TRANSLATE THIS BEAUTIFUL GRAND MARKETPLACE INTO SOMETHING ACROSS THE STREET THAT BUSINESSES ARE, TAKE PRIDE IN THAT CHINESE RESTAURANT OVER THERE I WOULD GO IN ON THE BED.
>> UNFORTUNATELY WERE ALL HUMAN AND HUMAN NATURE IS TO NOTICE THE UNATTRACTIVE BEFORE WE NOTICE THE ATTRACTIVE.
FOR THOSE THAT THOUGHT FOLLOWING UP WITH WHAT WOMEN SAID.
I DON'T WANT TO GET AHEAD OF THE BRANDING EFFORT.
BUT THE HUB, THE PLACE TO BE IN THE 30S, 40S, 50S AND 60S AND EARLY 70S ARE WE TALKING ABOUT IN INDIO RENAISSANCE? I WILL TALK ABOUT SOMETHING NEW? CAN WE HELP CONVINCE PEOPLE THAT WERE HEADED IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION? THE WORD RENAISSANCE SIGNIFIES THAT.
AND IT MIGHT BE A GOOD BUZZWORD AMONGST OTHERS TO USE A PART OF THIS DISCUSSION.
>> FOR THE ONE TIME I WOULD PRIORITIZE THE PARKS BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY OF THESE ISSUES WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FROM ONE PLACE.
SO FOR INCREASING THE FOOT TRAFFIC, INCREASING PUBLIC SAFETY AND INCREASING THE PER SUBJECT OF PUBLIC SAFETY AT THE SAME TIME.
ALSO IT WILL HELP US ATTRACT MORE BUSINESSES.
THEY SEE THERE'S A LOT OF FAMILIES OUT THERE WALKING AROUND.
IF THERE WALKING AROUND IN A PASS BY MY STORE COMPARATIVE AS IT IS NOW.
IF IT ATTRACTS THE BUSINESSES IN IT COULD HELP WITH THE LEAK RATE ISSUES AND THE QUALITY OF HER RESIDENCE.
IF THEY HAVE THOSE PLACES TO GO OUT WITH THEIR FAMILIES ARE NOT STUCK INSIDE THE HOME HER KIDS ARE ALWAYS ON THE VIDEOGAMES THEY COULD GET OUT GET ACTIVE GET HEALTHIER.
ANOTHER THING I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS ADDRESSING THE HOUSING CRISIS.
HOW FAR WOULD I WANT TO GO WITH OUR PROGRAM? IF IT'S A GAP FUNDING TO GET SOME PROJECTS GOING? IF WE HAD THE FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS PROGRAM.
GLITZY PEOPLE RIGHT NOW THEY'RE STRUGGLING THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE LOOKING FOR HOMES AND THEY CAN'T MAKE IT THERE.
IF WE WERE TO PROVIDE LET'S SAY $20,000 FOR YOUR DOWNPAYMENTS.
AND WITH $1 MILLION WE COULD DO THAT FOR 50 FAMILIES.
[01:00:03]
THAT'S 50 FAMILIES.WE CAN APPRECIATE THE NETWORKS WE HAVE HERE IN THE COMMUNITY IN THE SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND FAMILIES LIVED HERE LET'S MAKE THAT EFFORT TO HELP THEM STAY HERE IF THAT'S WHAT WE WANT.
BUCKS THAT'S ANOTHER GREAT EXAMPLE BECAUSE THE 50 FAMILY FAMILIES EACH GET $20 TO HELP THEM STAY.
IF WE SPEND $1 MILLION ON SOMETHING THAT COULD BENEFIT 5000 PEOPLE AND SEE SOMETIMES IT'S A MATTER OF NUMBERS UNFORTUNATELY.
THAT'S PART OF OUR DISCUSSION WERE GOING TO JUMP INTO.
I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE ANY OF THIS BECAUSE I KNOW WE WILL CONTINUE TO JUMP IN BUT IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THESE AREAS OF FOCUS.
SOMEDAY WE WOULD SPECIFICALLY PUT IN A DOCUMENT THAT SAYS REFOCUSING ON THIS.
FROM JUST THE SURVEY RESPONSES THESE ARE SOME THAT POPPED UP.
I THINK I PUT SOME DIFFERENT COLORING.
ONCE ON THE RIGHT SIDE MAY HAVE NOT BEEN A SPECIFIC SET OF PARKS.
FOCUSING ON PUBLIC SAFETY SEEMS TO BE AN EASY ONE.
STREETS, ROADS, TRAFFIC SAFETY, BRIDGES, BEAUTIFICATION, DOWNTOWN AND HIGHWAY 111 BEAUTIFICATION.
THE ELECTRICAL AND FIBER BROADBAND SO WE HAVE SOME TYPES OF INFRASTRUCTURE THAN OTHERS.
NO WATER INFRASTRUCTURE WHICH WERE A PART OF IS CRITICAL.
FORTUNATELY WE HAVE A REVENUE SOURCE TO ADDRESS THAT ONE ON A CONTINUING BASIS FOR SOME OF THESE WE DON'T HAVE AN ADEQUATE REVENUE SOURCE.
BUSINESS AND JOB GROWTH, PARKS, RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES.
THINK ON THIS SIDE WAS AS COMMON.
SOMETHING MISSING? IS THERE TO MUCH ON THERE? TO THOSE LOOK LIKE GOOD AREAS OF FOCUS? AS A DRAFT? CERTAINLY NOT FOR ANY FINAL DECISION.
>> THAT'S A GREAT TOP 10 LIST FOR HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS.
>> TO ACCOMPLISH ALL THAT WE NEED TO ACCOMPLISH FOR THOSE WE NEED A LOT MORE MONEY.
WELL, SO IN THESE AREAS WELL BEFORE WE GET INTO THAT.
WILL MUSCHAMP INTO THESE DISCUSSIONS ON THE PROJECTS FOR THE STAFF WILL HELP INFORM YOU ABOUT WHAT WE MEAN ON SOME OF THESE PROJECTS.
YOU WILL WANT TO CHIME IN ON HOW YOU WANT TO GIVE US DIRECTION ON WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE.
THEN YOU MAY WANT TO ADD SOME THAT WE DIDN'T LIST.
IF EVERYBODY IS ABOUT A 2 TO 3 MINUTES THAT WILL HELP US TIME.
I'M SURE WERE GONNA NEED BREAK MAYOR AND MAYBE ABOUT HALF HOUR FOR JUST A BREAK.
AT ABOUT 5:45 TO 6 WE WILL HAVE FOOD COME IN GOOD BY THAT TIME WE WILL BE WINDING DOWN AND THERE WILL BE MORE MEETINGS OBVIOUSLY.
THERE ARE NO DUMB QUESTIONS FROM HIS STAFF PERSPECTIVE FOR THEM OR FOR YOU.
IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION OR COMMENT PLEASE JUST MAKE IT.
I THINK THAT'S MORE PRODUCTIVE DISCUSSION.
AGAIN WERE TAKING COPIOUS NOTES.
I'M RELYING QUITE A BIT ON THIS POWERPOINT SO YOU VISUALLY CAN SEE IT.
WE HAVE A WHITEBOARD OVER THERE BECAUSE THAT'S ALSO AN IDEA BORN.
MEETING OF SOMETHING WE WROTE DOWN HERE BASED ON THE SURVEYS AND STAFF DISCUSSION YOU WANT ELIMINATED OR WE NEED TO ADD SOMETHING, THE WHITEBOARD WILL HELP US DO THAT AND I'LL BE ABLE TO DESCRIBE BATHROOM.
I WANTED TO GIVE SOME TIME TO ROB TO GIVE US THIS BROAD OVERVIEW SPECIFIC TO THE ONE TIME MONIES THAT ARE AVAILABLE.
SO, EVERY YEAR WE TALK ABOUT OPERATIONAL BUDGET AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RECURRING EXPENDITURES AND RECURRING REVENUES.
WE DO HAVE THIS UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY RIGHT NOW WHERE WE HAVE ONE TIME MONIES PROBABLY MORE THAN WE'VE EVER HAD IN PART BECAUSE OF FEDERAL MONEY.
I WANT ROB TO GIVE US AN OVERVIEW BEFORE WE JUMP INTO THINKING ABOUT HOW WE MIGHT SPEND NOT MONEY.
HOW MANY SLIDES DO I HAVE TO GO OVER? JUST ONE? OKAY.
SO THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT.
THE CITY IS GOING TO RECEIVE $20.4 MILLION.
HALF OF THAT IS ARMY IN THE CITY OF INDIO BANK ACCOUNT.
WE HAVE SOME GUIDELINES ON HOW AND WHAT TO SPEND NOT MONEY ON IN A TIME FRAME IN WHICH WE NEED TO SPEND IT IN.
WE NEED TO SPEND THE RESOURCES BEFORE THE END OF DECEMBER 2024.
IF WE HAVE SOME COMMITMENTS AT THAT TIME THERE ARE SOME PROVISIONS THAT ALLOW US TO SPEND MONEY AFTER THE FACT BUT WE CAN'T BE HOLDING IN HER HAND.
IT CAN'T BE SITTING IN THE BANK ACCOUNT.
WE HAVE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.
WHEN WE REPORT THE USE OF THOSE FUNDS IN US TO FALL INTO ONE OF 4 CATEGORIES.
IT HAS TO FALL INTO PUBLIC HEALTH RESPONSE AND THAT IS SPECIFICALLY HOUSEHOLD AND BUSINESS AID AND ECONOMIC STABILIZATION.
WE HAVE TO ADDRESS HOW THAT MONEY MITIGATES THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF THE
[01:05:05]
PANDEMIC.THE SECOND BUCKET IS FOR PREMIUM PAY FOR ESSENTIAL WORKERS.
THERE ARE SOME TREASURY REPORTING HOOPS THAT DOES MAKE THAT A LITTLE HARDER THAN IT SOUNDS.
AND IDENTIFYING ESSENTIAL WORKERS AND THEIR SOME PAY LIMITATIONS ON THAT.
III BUCKET IS WHAT I WOULD REFER TO IS THE MOST BROAD BUCKET FOR SPARSE LATITUDE FOR SPENDING.
BECAUSE III BUCKET IS YOU CAN SPEND THE MONEY ON THE PROVISION OF GOVERNMENT SERVICES TO THE EXTENT OF REVENUE LOSSES.
REFINANCE STAFF IS COMPLETED THAT ANALYSIS AND WE BELIEVE ALL OF THESE RESOURCES FROM ARPA, $24 MILLION FALLS UNDER THE REVENUE LOSSES.
THAT'S GOOD NEWS FOR US INDIANS GIVES A CITY COUNCIL MORE FLEXIBILITY IN SPENDING THAT MONEY ON ANY OF THOSE BUCKETS INCLUDING PROVISIONS OF ANY GOVERNMENT SERVICES.
THE 4TH BUCKET ITS INVESTMENT IN WATER/SEWER AND BROADBAND.
TO GO BACK QUICKLY TO THE PROVISION OF GOVERNMENT SERVICES.
UNDER THE LOST REVENUE PREVENTION.
THAT WOULD INCLUDE BRIDGING SHORTFALLS TO AVOID CUTS IN CITY SERVICES.
IT WOULD INCLUDE PAYING FOR MAINTENANCE.
VARIOUS PAY-AS-YOU-GO BUILDING FRONT INFRASTRUCTURE.
PAY-AS-YOU-GO IS A TERM THAT MEANS YOU CAN'T USE IT TO PAY DOWN DEBT.
IT COULD BE USED FOR HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE.
PROVISIONS OF THE FIRE AND PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES.
THAT'S THE BROAD CATEGORY ON THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN.
WE SAID SHOULD RECEIVE THE BALANCE OF THE SECOND HALF PROBABLY IN JUNE NEXT YEAR.
IN REGARDS TO MR. X FUND BALANCE.
WE KNOW WE AGGRESSIVELY PLAN TO SPEND MEASURE X SOMETIMES THE PROJECTS ARE DEFERRED AND IN THIS CASE WE DON'T SPEND MONEY ON MEASURE X IN A PRIOR YEAR GETS PUT INTO A RESERVE.
WE HAVE $18 MILLION AT THIS POINT IN TIME THAT IS UNOBLIGATED MEASURE X MONEY.
I SAY UNOBLIGATED BUT TO WITHOUT $18 MILLION SET ASIDE FOR PUBLIC SAFETY RADIO REPLACEMENTS NOT SET NECESSARILY ERICA WE HAVE $16 MILLION THAT IS ON EARMARKED AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
IN REGARDS TO RECURRING MEASURE X FUNDS.
THE 21/22 BUDGET WE ASSUME WE WILL GET $12.3 MILLION IN MEASURE X FUNDS.
IT IS SUBJECT TO ECONOMIC FACTORS MEANING DURING THE PANDEMIC WE ASSUMED MEASURE X WAS GOING TO GO DOWN.
WHAT HAPPENED WAS A LOT OF PEOPLE WENT ONLINE AND STARTED BUYING GOODS THROUGH AMAZON.
THAT REALLY KEPT MEASURE X STABLE AS A SALES TAX FOR THE CITY OF INDIO.
THIS FISCAL YEAR MEASURE X REVENUE.
IN CONTRADICTION TO WHAT HAPPENED WITH AMAZON.
WE GET A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF MR. X SALES TAX FROM CAR SALES.
REFERRED ABOUT SOME CHIP SHORTFALLS AND SLOW DOWN IN CAR CELLS.
POTENTIALLY THERE COULD BE SOME REDUCTION.
IT WILL FLUCTUATE OVER THE COMING YEARS WITH THE ECONOMY.
IN REGARDS TO OPERATIONAL AND BALANCE.
WE WANT TO TOUCH ON THAT BRIEFLY.
YOU'VE HEARD THE OLD ADAGE DON'T USE ONE TIME MONEY FOR ONGOING COST.
I WANT TO TALK BRIEFLY ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE OF STRUCTURAL IMBALANCE AND WHAT I WOULD CALL MEASURE X INCONVENIENCE.
THE GENERAL FUND RIGHT NOW WE ARE, THE COUNCIL HAS APPROVED ABOUT $7.6 MILLION IN EXPENDITURES ONGOING EXPENDITURES IN EXCESS OF ONGOING REVENUES.
THAT'S THE BUDGET THAT WAS ADOPTED.
WE ASSUME THAT SOME OF THAT WILL BE FILLED THROUGH SALARY SAVINGS THROUGHOUT $2 MILLION TO THE BUDGET.
THAT STILL KEEPS A $5.6 MILLION SO WHAT WE DID WAS WE EARMARKED MEASURE X MONEY TO FILL THAT GAP.
IF WE DIDN'T EARMARKED MEASURE X AND THAT'S WHAT I'M REFERRING TO AS A MEASURE X INCONVENIENCE WE WOULD HAVE TO THE FACT THAT WE HAVE AN ONGOING BUDGET STRUCTURAL DEFICIT.
IF WE HAVE AN GO DOWN THAT ROAD AFTER TALK ABOUT HOW GOING TO FIX THAT PROBLEM AND THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE WATCHING OUR FINANCES WILL KNOW HOW WE WILL ADDRESS THAT PROBLEM.
INSTEAD OF ADMITTING TO A SERIOUS BUDGETARY SHORTFALL IF INSTEAD CATEGORIZE HER SITUATION AS IT MEASURE X INCONVENIENCE BECAUSE WERE USING IT TO FILL THE GAP BECAUSE MEASURE X IS ONGOING REVENUE SOURCE.
JUST TO BE CLEAR, RELYING ON BUDGET TERRIBLY TO ULTIMATELY $7 MILLION WHICH WILL BE REDUCED BY SOLAR SAVINGS AND OTHER OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES HOPEFULLY WE WILL GET DOWN CLOSER TO NOTHING AT THE END OF THE YEAR.
IF YOU'RE BUILDING A BUDGET YOU HAVE TO SHOW THOSE RESOURCES ON WHETHER TO COME FROM.
[01:10:01]
THAT'S A PICTURE WE BUILT RIGHT NOW.THAT'S AGAIN TO RELATE MAKE SURE WE COMMUNICATED TO THE WORLD THAT WERE USING THAT ONGOING REVENUE SOURCE AT LEAST ONGOING IN THE SENSE OF THE NEXT 20 YEAR PERIOD TO OFFSET THE IMBALANCE IN OUR GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURE PLAN TODAY.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THE OVERVIEW? I GUESS THE HIGHLIGHT HERE IS WE HAVE $20 MILLION IN RESCUE PLAN ACT MONEY WE HAVE $60 MILLION IN MEASURE X FUND BALANCE.
SO WE HAVE IN EXCESS OF $36 MILLION IN ONE TIME MONEY TO TARGET TOWARDS THE PROJECTS WERE, DISCUSSED TODAY.
SO THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR WERE INCONVENIENCED WITH THE BUDGET? LAST YEAR WE ENDED UP BEING INCONVENIENCE TO MILLION? WAS AT THE FINAL NUMBER QUICKBOOKS LAST YEAR WE ALSO BOTH THE BUDGET WE ASSUME TO BE ABOUT A $5 MILLION USAGE.
I DON'T THINK THEY'LL BE ANY USAGE OF MEASURE X TO BOSSA BUDGET.
WE HAVE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES THAT CAME IN.
A PERFECT EXAMPLE FOR THE RESOURCES FROM LAND FOR THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND ENABLE TENANT NOT RELY ON ANY MEASURE X MONEY TO BALANCE THE BUDGET.
>> WAS ABOUT MONEY FROM TH SALE SUPPOSED TO GO BACK INTO RESERVES?
>> FALLS INTO FUND BALANCE AND IT'S BEEN USED FIRST BEFORE USE MEASURE X.
TO YOUR POINT THOUGH COUNCILMEMBER AMITH.
IF WE CHOOSE TO USE MEASURE OF AND THAT WOULD BE A PREFERENCE CALL.
>> I'M TRYING TO GET THE NUMBERS STRAIGHT.
SO ENDED UP AT NET ZERO LAST YEAR'S BUDGET WITH THE SELL THE PROPERTY.
>> I BELIEVE THERE'S A SMALL GAIN PROBABLY AROUND $2 MILLION.
>> HOW MUCH LESS WHERE REVENUES ARE REGULAR REVENUES THEN PROJECTED FROM THE PRE-PANDEMIC.
>> REVENUES HAVE DROPPED, I DON'T HAVE A GRAPH WITH ME FROM 18/19 TO 19/20 REVENUES HAVE DECLINED.
I WANT TO SAY 5 TO 10 PERCENT OF REVENUE REDUCTIONS.
>> OUT OF AN $80 MILLION BUDGET?
>> THE TEAMWORK TO SEE IF THE FEDERAL MONEY COULD REPLACE LOST REVENUE SO THAT 20 IS PROBABLY.
>> I'M TRYING TO GET TO THAT NUMBER.
>> SO THAT NUMBER IS TRULY WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING.
>> YEAH, THE QUESTIONS ARE SO IMPORTANT YOU JUST ASK BECAUSE MY UNDERSTANDING I WASN'T HERE BUT THE MEASURE X REVENUES ARE TO BE USED ON ALL THESE IMPORTANT ONE-TIME PROJECTS OUT THERE INCLUDING ROADS AND PARKS AND THAT TYPE OF CORE INFRASTRUCTURE.
IF WERE NOT CAREFUL WE CREEP INTO THAT SOURCE OF REVENUES FOR OPERATIONS.
AND WHAT ROB JUST EXPLAINED IS THAT IS NOT OUR PREFERENCE AND THAT'S NOT HER FOCUS.
ABLE TO GET BY THIS PAST YEAR BECAUSE OF ONE TIME REVENUES.
WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE? IT'S AN IMPORTANT FACT BECAUSE IF WE SAY TO YOU IT'S ACTUALLY 20.4.
LET'S SAY THERE'S 36.4 MILLION FOR US TO GO SHOPPING AND I WILL SAY 11 MILLION ON THE FLOW OF MEASURE X.
ROB REFERRED TO 12.3 BUT THE RESULT 1.3 ROUGHLY COST OF THE JEFFERSON BRIDGE ISSUE.
EFFECTIVELY WE CAN'T SPEND THAT TWICE.
BUT, IF WE HAVE THIS THING TO ANY SIGNIFICANT DEGREE ON AN ONGOING BASIS.
WE WILL HAVE TO USE SOME OF THAT COVER THIS.
SO WERE HOPING AS A TEAM WE'VE BEEN TALKING AND DISCUSSING AND RESEARCHING THAT BY NEXT SPRING AS WE PREPARE NEXT OPERATIONAL YEAR'S BUDGET WE WILL BE ABLE TO TELL YOU WHAT THAT NUMBER IS.
AND THAT I KNOW IS YOUR DIRECTION IS A PARTY PROVIDED THAT.
AND WILL COMMIT TO WORK TOWARDS THAT.
HERE'S HOW EXTREME THAT IS HOWEVER.
IF THERE WERE NO OTHER GENERAL FUND REVENUES BESIDES MEASURE X TO COVER ABOUT $7 MILLION DEFICIT.
THAT'S ABOUT HOW FAR WE ARE OFF.
YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THE PAPER HAD LUNCH WITH THE CITY MANAGER UPON DESERT.
THEY JUST APPROVED THE BUDGET WITH THE $7 MILLION DEFICIT.
IT'S KIND OF WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW IN PART BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC.
I WILL TELL YOU OURS IS BECOMING MORE STRUCTURAL.
WE COMMIT TO DO THAT BUT IF WE LOOK AT THIS 36 MILLION OR THE 11 ANNUAL AND SAY ALL WE'VE GOT ALL THESE PROJECTS WITHOUT 11 MILLION.
THEY ARE ONE-TIME PROJECTS WHICH IS THE TENT OF MEASURE X.
WE BETTER MAKE SURE WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING HERE BECAUSE WE WILL NEED TO TAKE SOME FOR THEIR IF WE DON'T GET THAT CORRECTLY.
[01:15:03]
I THINK THIS IS AN IMPORTANT FOUNDATION TO KNOW THAT PROJECTS WE WILL BE DISCUSSING AND WE WILL BE PRIORITIZING NOT JUST TODAY BUT IN SUBSEQUENT MEETINGS.I DON'T THINK WE GOT THE WHITEBOARD READY FOR YOU AND WE NEED MORE INFORMATION.
YOU MIGHT BE ADDING PROJECTS AS WELL.
IF YOU WANT TO THINK IN YOUR MIND IS A LITTLE OVER $36 MILLION OF ONE-TIME MONEY THAT WILL NOT COME BACK.
FOR US TO ADDRESS SOME OF THESE THINGS WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR THE LAST 45 MINUTES.
EVERY YEAR WE HAVE ABOUT 11 MILLION.
THERE SIMPLE INTEGRITY TO SALES TAXES ROB MENTIONED.
THERE'S ABOUT 11 EVERY YEAR FOR ONE-TIME PROJECTS TO ADDRESS.
ALL THESE ISSUES WE TALKED ABOUT AND THAT THEORETICAL BUT IF YOU HAD $10 MILLION? WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO HELP YOU DEAL? WE'VE GOT 36 TO DECIDE.
WHAT CAN WE DO TO GET THE BIGGEST BANG FOR OUR BUCK TO IMPROVE VIDEO? AND THEN EVERY YEAR WE HAVE ANOTHER 11 TO CONSIDER.
UNFORTUNATELY THE PROJECTS THAT WE LISTED AND SOME OF YOU AS YOU SENT THOSE INTO ME AS COUNCILMEMBERS IS SOMEWHERE IN THE ORDER OF $85 MILLION.
SO THAT'S WHY PRIORITIZE ASIAN IS SO CRITICAL.
TIM WILL TELL UOFU GOT TO THE 5 YEAR CIP CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN, THE CIP PROJECTS.
THE 5-YEAR PLAN IS HOW MANY HUNDREDS? HE WILL TELL ME.
ONE REASON I THINK OUR PLANNING WINDOW FOR THESE ONE-TIME PROJECTS NEEDS TO BE ON A 2 TO 3 YEAR BASIS BECAUSE THE BIGGEST CHUNK OF THIS HAS TO BE SPENT BEFORE DECEMBER 2024.
WE'VE GOT SOME GOOD ENTHUSIASM.
WE HAVE A THOUGHTFUL PROGRESSIVE CITY COUNCIL.
I'M JUST GRATEFUL WE'VE GO SOMEBODY TO DEAL WITH IT.
UNFORTUNATELY IT'S NOT ENOUGH.
SO WE WILL HAVE TO BE PRUDENT IN THAT DISCUSSION.
JUST JUMPING INTO THE, NOW THIS I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE TO DO THIS.
THERE ARE DIFFERENT WAYS OF PRIORITIZING.
IF SOMETHING IS REALLY IMPORTANT.
IF WE TALK ABOUT A PROJECT I WANT TO SEE HOW IT WENT HERE.
IF WE TALK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT PRIMARILY THE COUNCIL.
IT MAY BE 3 OF YOU MAY THINK OF THAT'S IN A TOBY THINK OF IT TO BE.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NECESSARILY WANT TO DO THAT.
IF WE FEEL LIKE WE NEED THE INPUT FROM YOU ALL PROBABLY ASKED FOR IT.
CHIEF WANTS BUT ONE OF THESE IN BETWEEN EACH PERSON.
SO IT WOULD BE, YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT.
RB PROJECT IS ITS IMPORTANCE AND WE SHOULD DO IT BUT IT'S NOT AS IMPORTANT AS A PROJECT.
AND WE OUGHT TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE WE MIGHT THINK SOMETHING IS A C BUT IF WE DID IT IT HELPS ACCOMPLISH IN A LIKE PUBLIC SAFETY.
SOME MIGHT SAY BEAUTIFYING I WOULD 111 OR SOME OF HER NEIGHBORHOODS IS A C.
IT'S IT TO BE A NICE THING TO DO.
IF IT HELPED US ACCOMPLISH IN A PRIORITY, PUBLIC SAFETY MAYBE WE OUGHT TO RETHINK IT.
DAVE REFERS TO OFTEN TIMES WANT TO DO SOME THINGS BUT THE WORD DELEGATE AS PART OF THE PRIORITIZATION.
THERE ARE OTHER AGENCIES IN A MORE LIKELY.
OTHER AGENCIES, THE STATE AND COUNTY.
HE IS LIKE HOPE WE DON'T PUT OUR ER LIST BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, WE SHOULDN'T EVEN BE TALKING ABOUT THAT.
THERE'S NO WAY IT SHOULD EVEN BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THAT $36 MILLION DEAL.
AGAIN I DON'T WANT TO MAKE THIS TO STIFFEN OUR DISCUSSION AS WE GO THROUGH THESE PROJECTS.
IF IT HELPS US ON A, B AND C IS YOU GOT AN IDEA X SUBURBAN A SCREAM OUT BABY C OR D?
I WANT TO THINK HE WAS COUNCILMEMBERS FOR ALLOWING ALL OF THE STAFF TO BE AT THE TABLE.
MOST OF THE STAFF TO BE UP HERE TO BE WITH YOU.
PLEASE FORGIVE US OF ONE OF THE STAFF MEMBERS ALSO TRIES TO CONVINCE YOU ONE IS ARB AND THAT MIGHT HAPPEN.
WE KNOW YOU'RE THE ONES THAT VOTE.
THERE AT THE TABLE AND THEY HAVE SOME INPUT.
SOME THESE PROJECTS YOU MA HAVE QUESTIONS.
THEY WILL EXPLAIN IT A LITTLE BIT.
YOU WILL BE ABLE TO LEAVE TODAY.
WE WILL BE ABLE TO LEAVE TODAY KNOWING THAT THERE ARE A BUNCH OF PROJECTS, STAFF IS GETTING AN IDEA OF WHAT THE TOP TIER IS.
WERE GOING TO GO RESEARCH THEM SOME MORE AND GET THE COST NAILED DOWN.
[01:20:01]
THEN COME BACK AND PRESENT THESE TO YOU WHERE YOU CONTINUE ABOVE THE LINE AND BELOW THE LINE.SO WE WON'T BE QUITE THERE YET.
TAKING THE CATEGORY OF PUBLIC SAFETY.
SO WE KNOW WE BEEN WORKING ON THE PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES BUILDING.
THERE IS A SERVICES BUILDING THAT'S A 2-STORY.
THERE'S A COMMUNICATION DISPATCH CENTER.
THERE ARE SOME UPGRADES TO THE EXISTING ADMINISTRATION BUILDING THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED.
THEN FIRE STATION NUMBER ONE LET'S CALL THE ONE ON SOUTH JACKSON, THE OLD ONE.
THOSE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED AS KEY PROJECTS.
WE COULD BUY THOSE EVERY YEAR BUT OVER A 3 YEAR WINDOW.
AND THEN PREPARING OUR BUILDINGS.
OUR ESSENTIAL BUILDINGS FOR SOME SWITCHGEAR FOR GENERATOR SO WE CAN THE ROLE OF A GENERATOR JUST FLIP A SWITCH IN TIMES OF EMERGENCY.
CAMERAS, KNOW THE DISCUSSION OF THIS LAST BUDGET THERE WAS DISCUSSION OF THE BODY WORN CAMERA SYSTEM FOR OUR POLICE OFFICERS.
THIS IS WHEN I THROUGH AND BY THE WAY.
THEY COULD BE LICENSE PLATE READERS OR SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS.
IT'S A CONSIDERATION FOR SOME OF THIS MONEY.
ONE THING I JOKED WITH THE CHIEF ABOUT IS ONE OF THE GOOD THING ABOUT THE CAMERAS AND NEVER CALLS IN SICK.
THE KEEP OPERATING AS LONG AS THERE'S POWER.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE CAMERAS AT YOUR HOME FOR YOUR OWN SECURITY AND SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.
WHY NOT HAVE A MENTOR PARTS, KEY INTERSECTIONS.
WE WOULD KNOW WHO IS COMING INTO TOWN AND WHO'S NOT.
EVERY LICENSE PLATES BEING READ I KNOW IT SOUNDS BIG BROTHER-ISH.
IF IT'S NOT A PARTY THEN FINE.
THOSE ARE COLD BUT TO GIVE SOME NUMBERS TO IT BECAUSE I CAN GIVE YOU SOME FRAMEWORK.
WE'VE GOT ABOUT 36 MILLION ONE TIME AND EVERY YEAR ABOUT 11.
WE WOULD NEED TO BORROW BECAUSE THIS IS ABOUT A 35+ MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT.
BUT THE DEBT SERVICE IS ABOUT 2.8 MILLION.
THAT DEBT SERVICE BECAUSE OF RECURRING COST.
THAT WOULD PROBABLY NEED TO COME OUT OF THE 11 MILLION.
THAT'S ROUGHLY WHAT THAT WOULD BE.
THAT INCLUDES THE FIRE STATION AND SOME UPGRADES TO THE EXISTING BUILDING ALL THE NEW ONES COME IN.
THE AMBULANCES COULD BE SPREAD OUT.
WE THINK WE CAN GET THE SWITCHGEAR DONE FOR ROUGHLY 200,000.
THE CAMERAS, THIS IS A SWAG WITH SOME KEY INTERSECTIONS MAYBE 350,000.
SOME OF THESE HAVE A SLIGHT RECURRING COST FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN WE BUILD SOMETHING WE NEED TO KNOW WE MAY JUST HAVE ADDED SOME OCCURRING COST.
NEW BUILDINGS ARE FAR MORE EFFICIENT IN POWER USAGE.
ELECTRICITY, BETTER LIGHTING AND SO FORTH.
WE WILL HAVE MORE SQUARE FOOTAGE SO WHEN WE BUILD NEW BUILDINGS IS A LITTLE BIT MORE JANITORIAL PROBABLY MORE UTILITIES BUT SAVINGS ON THINGS LIKE AC UNITS AND SOME OF THE OTHER MAINTENANCE ISSUES THAT ARE JUST ONGOING IN THESE OLDER FACILITIES.
CAMERAS THERE WOULD BE SOME ONGOING COST TOO.
IN ANY OF THESE DISCUSSIONS TODAY YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE WE RECOGNIZE YOU FOR DOING SOMETHING THAT CREATES A RECURRING COST THAT STRUCTURAL OPERATIONAL IMBALANCE ONLY GETS WORSE.
DOES IT MEAN WE SHOULDN'T DO IT BUT WE HAVE TO KEEP IN THE BACK OF HER MIND.
TO GLENN! WE SHOULD NEVER BUILD ANYTHING THEY DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO MAINTAIN.
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS OR CHIEF I DON'T KNOW IF YOU, OR IF THERE ANY COMMENTS ABOUT THE EXISTING FACILITIES? THE COUNCILMEMBERS SPECIFICALLY.
I'LL BE ON THE RIGHT TRACK ON TESTING ON THESE FACILITIES?
>> ON THE 2.8 MILLION, TIMEFRAME?
WE WOULD NEED MEASURE X EXTENDED TO BE ABLE TO BORROW THAT TYPE OF MONEY.
YOU COULD JUST PUT AN E ON THE CAMERA'S.
PARK SQUARES MY WORKSHEET QUESTIONMARK.
>> WANT TO GO BACK TO THE QUESTION WE TALKED ABOUT.
EVER SINCE I BEEN HERE WE'VE SPOKE ABOUT LEAKAGE.
WE COULD PAY FOR SOME OF THIS.
I ALMOST WANT TO SAY HOW DO WE REDUCE LEAKAGE AS ITS MAIN TITLE AND WHAT ARE THE ELEMENTS WERE GONNA GO THROUGH WILL SUPPORT THE ENHANCEMENT OF REVENUE INTO OUR CITY?
>> AND AS YOU ALL STATED QUALITY SOLID PUBLIC SAFETY BOTH IN REALITY AND
[01:25:01]
PERCEPTION IS A PART OF THAT.I THANK YOU HAVE A LOT OF PERCEPTION GOING ON RATHER THAN REALITY.
WE'LL HAVE ONE SIGN AT A TIME.
IF ARE LOOKING AT A RECURRING CAPITAL COST LIKELY TO WITHOUT SERVICE THIS WOULD COME FROM THE MEASURE X.
SO 2.6, 2.8 TO BE SLIGHTLY LESS THAN THAT.
2.80 THAT 11 IS WHAT YOU'D BE DEDICATING IF WE BUILD PHASE 1 OF THE FIRE STATION AND THE POLICE.
>> FOR THE LIFETIME OF THOSE THINGS WOULD BE LIKE 50 YEARS.
>> WITH NEW CONSTRUCTION I HOPE IT'S A 75 YEAR LIFE.
THE FUNCTIONALITY, FIRE STATION MIGHT BE AN EXAMPLE.
THE THOUGHT PROCESS WHEN THAT WAS BUILT IN 1974.
WE JUST OPERATE DIFFERENTLY NOW.
OR USING OFFICES FOR SLEEPING QUARTERS.
THE NEW BUILDING WILL BE FAR MORE EFFICIENT NOT ONLY IN UTILITY USAGE BUT IN STAFF TIME.
>> THEY WON'T LOAN US THE MONEY ¦ THIS TOTAL CAPITAL COST UPFRONT IS ABOUT 45-ISH LET'S SAY.
WE HAVE A MEETING TOMORROW TO CONFIRM THIS.
THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO BRING SOME OF THIS BACK TO YOU.
WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO AFFORD IT.
I USE THIS EXAMPLE OFTEN ABOUT.
MOST OF US AGREE TO BUY A HOME TO BUY A 5000 HOMELESS PEOPLE DON'T HAVE $500,000 IN THE BANK.
IF I WAITED UNTIL MY CUMULATIVE $5000 BEFORE BOB GOT HOME GOT HOME WHAT IT COST $500,000 BY THE TIME I CUMULATED.
ONE BENEFIT OF MOVING SOONER ON MEASURE X EXTENSION AND THESE PROJECTS SOONER IS RIGHT NOW INTEREST RATES ARE LOW.
WE ALSO HAVE INFLATIONARY COST.
MUCH LIKE THAT HOME EXAMPLE I JUST PROVIDED.
SCOTT WAS TALKING TO THE TEAM IS ABOUT $200,000 A MONTH.
IF WE BUILD THIS A YEAR SOONER THAN WE HAD THOUGHT PROBABLY ABOUT A $2 MILLION SAVINGS.
OVER TIME THE $2.8 MILLION MORTGAGE PAYMENT 15 YEARS AGO WAS GONNA FEEL LIKE A VERY SMALL PART OF IT.
AGAIN I'M TAKING TO MUCH TIME BUT I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL MY PARENTS WANTED ME TO SEE THEM PAY THEIR LAST PAYMENT ON THE MORTGAGE.
THEY WANTED ME, THIS IS HOW IT WORKS RIGHT? THIS WAS IN THE MID-80S.
THE MORTGAGE PAYMENT THAT LESS WHEN THEY MADE HUNDRED AND $57.
>> I REMEMBER LAUGHING, AT THAT TIME THAT SUCH A LONG TIME AGO.
TO THAT SAME ISSUE ABOUT LOW NUMBER.
I LAUGHED AT MY PARENTS LIKE HUNDRED $57, COME ON.
EVEN THEN, THIS WAS 30 YEARS AGO.
MY MOM SAID BRIAN, WE ENTERED THAT MORTGAGE WE COULD BARELY CUT THAT NUGGET.
BUT AFTER 30 YEARS OR 20 YEARS, SO TO THE POINT THAT 2.8 SOUNDS A LOT MORE NOW THAT IT WILL 20 YEARS FROM NOW WILL WE MAKE OUR LAST PAYMENT SHOULD WE DO THIS.
THIS PRAY THAT WE CUT LEAKAGE AND SALES TAX GROWS IF YOU DECIDE TO DO THIS BECOMES A SMALLER AND SMALLER PERCENTAGE OF THAT OVERALL MEASURE X FUNDING.
OKAY? DOES IT MEAN WE CAN COME BACK TO THAT.
TIM WANTS TO SPEND ALL OF YOUR MONEY ON THESE.
[01:30:01]
WE COULD FOCUS ALL HERE AND NOT TO ANY OF THAT PREVIOUS PAGE OF THE NEXT 4 PAGES.THE MONRO INTERCHANGE WERE WERE AWARE OF.
THIS IS WILL BE DUE ALL AROUND TOWN TO THE COMPLEMENTS HAVE BEEN GIVEN.
GOOD JOB ON CATCHING UP THIS FAR.
MANY OF THE RESIDENTS WANT TO ASK ABOUT MEASURE MEASURE X CAN BE VERY PROUD.
THIS IS WHERE WE BEEN GETTING A HUGE BANG FOR OUR BUCK THERE.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO PRONOUNCE OUT STREET.
I'LL JUST PUT SOME DOLLAR VALUES ON THIS AND MAYBE TIM IF YOU CAN SEE THEM CLOSELY.
IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS HERE.
CIVILIZATION AROUND THE INDIO MARKETPLACE.
THERE SOME WORK TO BE DONE THERE THAT'S PUBLIC PROPERTY.
BOTH THE TRAFFIC CENTER IN THE INTERSECTION AS WELL AS THE WHITENING.
SOME TIM WILL EXPLAIN IN A MINUTE THERE MATCHING DOLLARS REGIONAL AGENCIES.
TEND TO WANT TO COMMENT ON ANY OF THESE?
SO A LOT OF THESE PROJECTS AS MANY OF YOU KNOW THOSE ARE, THAT'S OUR SHARE OF THE TOTAL COST.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT FOR EXAMPLE MONROE STREET INTERCHANGE THAT'S AN $80 MILLION PROJECT.
WERE ABLE TO LEVERAGE OUR 5 TO $20 MILLION BUT LEVERAGE $80 MILLION.
ANY TIME YOU SPENT THE MEASURE X DOLLAR TOWARDS ANYTHING OTHER THAN THESE PRE-LEVERAGED PROJECTS.
YOU'RE BASICALLY SPENDING A FULL DOLLAR ON SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO FOR 1/4 OR $0.10 OR $0.20 ON THE DOLLAR.
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT FEW YEARS.
NOW ALSO MIND YOU THESE PROJECTS WE'VE ALREADY, THIS SHIP HAS SAILED A LOT OF THESE.
WE ARE IN PLANNING AND DESIGN A LOT OF THINGS.
THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO KEEP IN MIND.
YOUR PAYMENT REHAB FOR EXAMPLE.
THE FOREIGN HALF YOU DOLLARS A YEAR IN ADDITION TO THE SP1 THAT WE GET.
WE ARE ABLE TO FIX A LOT OF THESE ROADS THAT WE HAVE.
THAT HAS A HUGE IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY.
SO THE PAYMENT MANAGEMENT UPDATE IS SOMETHING WE HAVE TO DO.
THE JACKSON STREET INTERCHANGE, JACKSON STREET INTERCHANGE IS NOT TO FAR BEHIND MONROE.
GETTING READY TO ADOPT THE ENVIRONMENTAL APPROVAL THE REASON WHY WERE SAYING THAT WERE DELAYING THAT LITTLE BIT.
I HAVE THE SAME PLAN WE DID FOR MONROE STREET INTERCHANGE.
SHOVEL READY PROJECTS GET FUNDED WHEN WASHINGTON D.C. RELEASES THE INFRASTRUCTURE BILLS AND ETC. WHO IS READY TO GO? THOSE OF THE MONSTER TO GET THE FUND FIRST.
RECENT REJOIN JACKSON STREET IS BEHIND MONROE STREET BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE COMMITMENT FROM SEA BAG TO FUND MONROE STREET INTERCHANGE AND JACKSON STREET INTERCHANGE AND WE DON'T HAVE $50 MILLION TO COMMIT TOWARDS THOSE 2 INTERCHANGES.
WE ARE SPACING THOSE BEHIND EACH OTHER.
MADISON STREET AVENUE 111 TO 248.
WE HAD 75 PERCENT AND WE ARE TO HAVE AN AGREEMENT IN PLACE.
AVENUE 50 FROM JEFFERSON TO JACKSON.
THAT'S A PROJECTS THAT'S DEAR TO ALL OF THE COUNCILMEMBERS.
THAT'S WHERE ALL THE FESTIVALS ARE.
IT'S NUMBER ONE ON THE PRIORITY LIST FOR SEA BAG OR NUMBER 3 OR SO.
THAT'S A $30 MILLION PROJECT IN TODAY'S DOLLARS.
WE ARE JUST NOW STARTING ON THAT ONE.
SO AVENUE 50 AND JACKSON TRAFFIC SIGNAL INTERSECTION INSTANTLY THE INTERSECTION AS YOU ALL KNOW.
WERE GOING A MILE IN EACH DIRECTION NORTH AND SOUTH THEN ON EACH SIDE OF AVENUE 50 THAT WHOLE INTERSECTION IS GOING TO GET IMPROVED.
YOU KNOW? DOES HAVE AN IMPACT.
[01:35:09]
THEY HAVE FALLEN APART.THE $4.5 MILLION FOR PAVEMENT REHAB, IF YOU DON'T SLURRY SEAL STREET EVERY 7 YEARS IS GOING TO FALL APART AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE SO FAR BEHIND THE GATE THAT YOU NEVER CATCH UP.
THAT'S THE FOUNDATIONAL, KEEP YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE UP.
KEEP IT GOING SO YOU GET THE LIFE OUT OF IT.
IT SEEMS LIKE SUCH A SMALL THING.
I JUST WANTED TO PUT MY PITCH IN THERE.
>> ORDO COST MORE LATER AN JUST LIKE CRAP DOWN TH ROAD.
SO QUICKLY BEFORE THERE'S ANY OTHER COMMENTS.
WE JUST WENT THROUGH SOME PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUES.
YOU COULD SAY WE PUT A Â" SHARE, 5 MILLION TO 20 MILLION.
THE FEDERAL APPROPRIATIONS THAT MAY HELP WITH US.
HOWEVER, SEA BAG TO MAKE SURE THERE'S PLENTY THERE.
IF WE HAVE 36 AND ONCE I MONEY AND WE NEED TO FIND 20 THERE'S NO OTHER SOURCE.
THERE'S 20 TO 36 MILLION OUT THE DOOR.
IT'S GOING TO BE A TOUGH DISCUSSION.
THIS WOULD LIKELY BE, WE JUST TALKED ABOUT POTENTIAL DEBT SERVICE ON AN ANNUAL BASIS FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITIES OF 2.8.
BUT WE COULD WRAP IT UP INTO A BOND ISSUE POTENTIALLY BUT IT WOULD BE EVERY YEAR BACK TO TRISHA'S POINT.
WE'VE GOT TO BE ON TOP OF THE ROADS OR THEIR GONNA COST US MORE IN THE LONG RUN.
11 MILLION IF YOU'RE DOING MATH.
BEFORE WE TAKE A BREAK HIS OR QUESTIONS FOR TIM, DELETE SOME OUT BUT NEED SOME ATTENTION? SO MONROE STREET WE ARE TO HAVE THE AGREEMENT IN PLACE WITH CITIBANK.
THE PAYMENT REHAB THAT'S OUR OWN STUFF.
GEORGE STREET THAT SOMETHING THE FOLKS AT THE GOLDEN VOICE HAD ASKED US TO DO HELP THEM IN THEIR OPERATION.
THERE'S NO MINING SET ASIDE FOR THAT ONE.
THE PAYMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN WE NEED TO DO THAT TO STAY CURRENT.
JACKSON STREET FOR DESIGN AND WERE MOVING FORWARD.
THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED FOR THE GRAND MARKET.
MADISON 111 2 AVENUE 48 WE HAVE THE AGREEMENT IN PLACE FOR THAT ONE.
50, JEFFERSON TO JACKSON WERE GETTING AGREEMENT IN PLACE.
>> 20 SORRY SET ASIDE FROM THE MANY WE HELP? OR IS THIS ALL BRAND-NEW?
>> CAN WE INCLUDE THE $20 MILLION FROM THE FEDS?
>> MOST ABOUT TO BE CREDITED TO SEA BAG UNLESS WE CAN TO THE MAGIC.
>> WHAT ABOUT THE LOS COYOTES?
>> THOSE ARE RUNNING IN YOUR CURRENT YEAR'S BUDGET.
>> UNDERFUNDED THAN I SENT AN EMAIL WITH SOME PREPARATION FOR THE COUNCIL AND I KNOW COUPLE OF YOU PROBABLY RAISED HER EYEBROW AS YOU ARE THE DEAD.
THERETO ROADS, THERE'S LIKE 2.2 MILLION.
THEY SERVE PROBABLY 500 TRIPS A DAY.
CAN WE PUT 2 MILLION THAT SERVES OF A ROADWAY THAT SERVES 20,000 CARS A DAY? THOSE ARE TOUGH DECISIONS.
YOU'RE THE ONES THAT ARE GOING TO MAKE THE DECISIONS.
IT KEEPS PEOPLE IN THE CENTER OF THE CITY.
>> IN CASE PEOPLE IN INDIO INSTEAD OF GOING DOWN JEFFERSON STREET.
[01:40:01]
STRATEGIC CIRCULATION STRATEGY.
>> FORTUNATELY THAT WENT IN THEORY IF WE DID TO THIS TO ENTER ANOTHER 2.3 MILLION IN.
WE VERONDA GOT THAT COMMITTED AN ATTORNEY AND PROCESS.
SOUNDS LIKE THE MAJORITY YOU'RE LIKE THAT COMMITMENT WORK KEEPING UP.
FORTUNATELY DUMP US AND COME OUT OF THOSE 36 OR 11 AT THIS POINT.
IT'S COMING AT A CURRENT YEAR BUDGETED REVENUES.
WELL, MAYBE A 5 MINUTE BREAK TO FEED THE FISH GET A BANANA OR SOMETHING? THEM WILL BE BACK TO WRAP UP THE PAGES.
>> THE FISH ARE IN THE RESTROOM I THINK.
>> WERE GONNA NEED TO SIT DOWN TO GET ALL OF THIS CLARIFIED WHERE YOU REALLY
[01:46:30]
ARE DOING MATH.WHAT ARE WE REALLY SAYING IS IN OR NOT.
THERE WAS A HORRIBLE HABIT QUITE DONE ON THESE FIRST 2 SLIDES.
A LITTLE BIT OF HOPE THAT MAY BE CAMERAS AS AN EXAMPLE.
IF SOME OF THESE ARE LIKE DON'T RESEARCH THAT ONE.
[01:50:01]
DON'T BRING THAT BACK.THEN WE NARROW DOWN THE RESEARCH WE NEED TO DO AND BRING IT BACK TO YOU.
IF THERE ARE THINGS IN THE PREVIOUS LINES AS WE JUMP INTO THE NEXT ONES LIKE WHEN I CAN HAVE MONEY FOR THAT WE KNOW.
THEN WE WON'T EVEN TALK ABOUT IT ANYMORE.
WE WILL RESEARCH IT OR BRING IT BACK.
IT COULD BE THE BACK YOUR MIND AND YOU CAN STILL BRING IT OUT.
WE WON'T HAVE THAT IN FRONT OF YOU TO START PRIORITIZING MONEY.
SO THE NEXT ONE BASED ON THOSE AREAS OF FOCUS I THINK MY CLICKER DIED OUT.
LET ME TURN IT ON AND LET ME SEE IF IT WORKS.
I CAN YOU NOT SEEING EVERYTHING AT ONCE.
WE PARTY HAVE MORE EVENTS DOWNTOWN IN THE LAST LITTLE WHILE WITH THE WE CAN THINK THAT ERIC HAS GOING.
WE'VE HAD SOME OTHER EVENTS, SPEND MORE NOTICEABLE AS I WALKED IT MYSELF.
THESE ARE USED PARKING LOTS AND THEY ARE IN NEED OF LOVE AND REPAIR.
SOME OF THE ROADWAYS, TRISH REFERRED TO A CONSISTENT SLURRY SEAL PROGRAM.
WE CAN WALK UP AND DOWN OASIS AND PART OF MILES AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN TREATED FOR YEARS.
IN FACT THEY MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SENSE THE REDEVELOPMENT DAYS.
SO, SHE GAVE A 7 WE'RE WINDOW.
EVERY PIECE OF ASPHALT IS DIFFERENT DEPENDING ON HOW LONG IT'S RUN.
BEFORE LOOKING AT 12 TO 15 YEARS WITH NO TREATMENT.
SO THERE COULD BE DECORATIVE LIGHTING BUT OTHER STREET LIGHTING.
I'VE BEEN DRIVING AND WALKING IT MOST WEEKENDS NOW JUST TO GET A FEEL FOR THINGS AND I SEE SOME DARK SPOTS ON OASIS AND SO FORTH.
THERE ARE SOME UPGRADES THERE.
SOME LANDSCAPING IN THE DOWNTOWN GENERALLY THINGS LOOK NICE AND CLEAN.
THERE CERTAINLY COULD BE MORE.
WE HAVE THE BURGER BUILDING THAT WAS MENTIONED.
WE OWN AND IT'S A LARGE STRUCTURE ON THE FAR NORTHWEST CORNER OF MILES AVENUE PARK.
PEOPLE ARE COMING AND DOING DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING.
THE STAFF OPINION IS IT'S BEYOND REASONABLE REUSE.
IT WOULD TAKE A LOT OF MONEY TO BE USED.
DOESN'T MEAN IT COULDN'T HAPPEN BUT IT WOULD TAKE A LOT OF MONEY FROM SOMEBODY IF NOT THE CITY.
THAT COST WE WILL SHOW US A DEMOLITION.
THE CHURCH ON THE CORNER DOWN HERE ON SUMMER AND BLESS OR MAYBE CIVIC CENTER.
AGAIN DOESN'T LOOK BAD FROM THE OUTSIDE EXCEPT THE BULLET HOLES.
THE INSIDE STAFF UNDERSTANDING THE RECOMMENDATION IS IT'S NOT USABLE WITHOUT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY.
THIS WAS IN YOUR DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN.
A BEAUTIFUL RENDERING THAT CAUGHT MY EYE IS RESEARCHING THE OPPORTUNITY HERE IN INDIO.
ON THAT CORNER ACTIVATING THAT IS AN EVENT SPACE.
WE WILL TALK ABOUT THAT IN A MINUTE.
CONJUNCTION WITH THAT, COULD WE COME UP WITH IF WE HAVE A BETTER EVENT SPACE DOWNTOWN.
FOR FIRST FRIDAY IS OUR SECOND SATURDAYS.
SOMETHING THAT'S CATCHY WHERE IN THE VALLEY YOU KNEW EVERY FIRST FRIDAY OR EVERY SECOND SATURDAY THERE IS A CONCERT, A MOVIE IN THE PARK FOR YOUR FAMILY.
IN DIFFERENT FOOD TYPES, FOOD TRUCKS.
ANYWAY YOU KNEW ONCE A MONTH WE DEDICATE SOME MONEY AND SPACE FOR THAT.
DOESN'T MEAN THERE COULD BE MORE EVENTS.
THE CONCEPT COULD THAT HELP WITH MONEY? JUST THROWING THE MONEY OUT OF HERE.
TIM STUMPED SOME ROUGH ESTIMATES THIS IS REHAB OF THE PARKING LOTS AROUND 300,000.
THE ROADWAYS PUT APPROACH 600,000.
AGAIN IF IT WAS SLURRED 10 YEARS AGO THAT WOULD'VE BEEN LOST.
200,000, YOU SEE THE NUMBERS THERE.
THEN THE SPARK, MAYBE ALL THAT BOTH KEVIN AND CARL CHIME IN ON HOW THEY CAN DO IT BETTER.
BUT TO MAKE THE PARK NICE AND SET ASIDE SOME MONEY TO KICKSTART AN EVENTS PROGRAM.
DO YOU WANT TALK BRIEFLY TO THAT?
>> SO THIS IS YOU GUYS WE REMEMBER FROM THE DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN.
IT'S NONTRADITIONAL OPEN SPACE PARK.
IT'S INTENDED TO BE AN EVENT ORIENTED SPACE AS BRIAN INDICATED.
THAT MEANS THE IMPROVEMENTS IN IT AREN'T AS PERMANENT AS YOU MIGHT FIND DIFFERENT PARKS.
THERE ARE SOME KEY ATTRIBUTES THAT NEED TO BE THERE LIKE IF ARE GONNA DO THE FIRST FRIDAYS WERE SECOND SATURDAYS WE NEED A REGULAR ELECTRICAL SERVICE AVAILABLE TO VENDORS WE MIGHT WANT TO COME THERE.
IF YOU WANTED TO HAVE MOVIES IN THE PARK YOU WOULD NEED TO HAVE
[01:55:02]
SOMETHING LIKE A LARGE BLOWUP SCREEN AND PROJECTOR.SO FOLKS COULD WATCH MOVIES IN THE EVENING FOR EXAMPLE.
IF YOU WANTED TO INVITE IN FOOD VENDORS AND THINGS LIKE THAT YOU MIGHT PUT UP A TENT STRUCTURE A TEMPORARY TENT STRUCTURE WOULD FACILITATE PEOPLE HAVING A PLACE TO GET OUT OF THE SUN AND EAT.
OR AND HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE TYPES OF EVENTS.
IT TENDS TO BE A TACTICAL PARK MORE THAN A TRADITIONAL PARK.
THE PREMISE UNDER THIS AND AS THE PLAN ENVISIONED IT IS THAT MOST GREAT COMMUNITIES HAVE A, IT WAS MY TERM AND I THINK BRIAN WAS CHANGING INTO FAMILY ROOM FAMILY ROOM OR LIVING ROOM OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT THEY HAVE A CENTRAL GATHERING SPACE NORMALLY DOWNTOWN.
IF ANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN TO PORTLAND OREGON TO HELP WHAT YOU CALL THE PORTLAND PIONEER COURTHOUSE SCARE SQUARE IN THEIR DOWNTOWN.
IT'S HER PRIMARY SPACE IN THE DOWNTOWN.
THAT'S PATTERN ALL OVER THE REST OF THE UNITED STATES.
SITUATIONAL REALM THE EVENTS THAT MIGHT HAPPEN THERE.
>> WHERE I CAME FROM WAS FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS.
IN THE VALLEY YOU CAN EVEN LIVED IN THEORY WITH THIS CONCEPT ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE VALLEY AND THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING ON THE SECOND SATURDAY DOWNTOWN INDIO.
DOESN'T MEAN THERE HERE EVERY SECOND SATURDAY BUT IT'S IN OUR MIND WE CEMENTED.
>> RESTAURANT OR EATERY MARGUERITE TYPE SPACE AND ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SIDEWALK WHERE THE OLD HOTEL WITH SOME PALM TREES WOULD BE ON THE EAST SIDE THERE IS STILL A LITTLE SPACE.
THAT ONE BUILDING, THE ONE BUILDING CAME DOWN TO THE SUB STATION.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE SPACE THERE THAN BEFORE.
EAST OF THAT SIDEWALK THERE IS A SIDEWALK AT THE TANGIE BUILDING ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE SIDEWALK IF YOU'RE HEADING SOUTH.
IT'S THE GREEN SPACE ON THE CORNER IS WHAT THAT DOWNTOWN CAN IDENTIFY.
ACROSS THE STREET WAS ANOTHER BIG GREEN AREA.
>> THIS IS THE SOUTHWEST CORNER WHERE THE FORMER INDIO HOTEL WAS OUT.
THERE'S A SIDEWALK ON THE WEST SIDE OF THAT AND THEN THERE'S A VACANT CROSS LOT THAT WAS A MARKET.
THAT WOULD BE USED FOR THE OUTDOOR DINING AREA.
WE MAY BE A LITTLE HIGH THERE DEPENDING ON WHAT THE FINAL DESIGN IS.
IF YOU LIKE THE CONCEPT, IF YOU DON'T WE WILL RESEARCH IT.
IS IT MORE OF THIS TYPE OF SPACE OR $300,000 UPGRADE TO THAT AREA? OR IS IT WAS $600,000 SO THERE'S SOME OF 20 THERE.
GET THE PEOPLE THERE AND YOU HAVE THE VENDORS.
WE HAVE FOLKS THAT WILL TRAVEL THERE.
BUT GROUND ZERO.CLOUD ON THE STREET BUT TEMPORARY TABLES CHANGE STRUCTURES THAT HELPS THE RESTAURANTS IS ORDER BUSINESSES.
I LIKE TO SEE THAT A FIRST FRIDAY.
HAVING A LIVING ROOM SPACE INCLUDES A NO PART OF THIS STREET TO WALK ALONG IT.
>> YOU CAN SEE FROM SUMMER TO TOWN.
[02:00:04]
THAT WOULD BE REALLY EASY ONE THAT WOULD BE CONNECTED BACK TO THE PARK.>> THE ORIGINAL MILES DOWNTOWN STREET WAS.JUST OKAY.
TO PROTECT THINGS IN THE BEGINNING I WANT TO MENTION WE PURCHASED ALL THE PARKLAND IT WAS TO BUILD AROUND THE PARK.
NOW ARE TURNING IT INTO SOCCER FIELDS MILES PARK WAS ORIGINALLY WHERE HE PLAYED SOCCER.
THAT'S WHERE I USED TO PLAY SOCCER.
NOW THAT'S NOT EVEN TO THE RIGHT SPECS.
I'M NOT OPPOSED TO PUTTING SOCCER GOALS BUT SOMEHOW BETWEEN NOW AND FULL FOOT TRAFFIC CAPACITY WE HAVE TO HAVE A STRATEGY TO PROTECT THOSE AREAS.
>> SOMEONE MENTIONED THE VOLUME THERE ARE 300 PEOPLE THOUGHT MIGHT BE A START.
300 PEOPLE ATTENDING A CONCERT OR EVENT IN THE PARK AND THERE WERE 6 HOMELESS.
WE MAY NOT NOTICE THEM VERY MUCH.
>> I WAS GOING THE COUNCILMEMBER MADE A GOOD POINT THAT I WAS GONNA MAKE SO I'LL EXPAND ON IT.
>> SHE DID IT BETTER I'M SURE.
SO IN A PREVIOUS LIFE I DID A LOT OF CONSULTING WORK IN BEND OREGON WHICH IS COMPARABLE TO THE SIZE OF OUR CITY.
ONE THINGS THEY DID IS THAT A VERY SAME SITUATION.
THEY HAD A MORE BOUND DOWNTOWN.
THE CITY GOT BEHIND THE ACTIVELY MANAGED BOTH THE EVENTS IN THE SPACES AND IT REQUIRED A LOT OF ENERGY UP FRONT.
WHAT HAPPENED IS BUILT ON ITSELF NOW THE CITY HAS 1/5 PLAYER BECAUSE ALL THESE ENTITIES HAVE COME IN AND IN ESSENCE TAKEN OVER THE JOB.
IT TOOK ABOUT 7 TO 9 YEARS FOR THAT TO HAPPEN SO WHAT WAS COMMITMENT ON THE PART OF THE CITY.
THE OTHER THING THAT HAPPENED IS IT ALSO BROUGHT BUSINESSES TO THEIR DOWNTOWN.
AS PEOPLE CAME AND EXPERIENCE THE DOWNTOWN IT EXPOSED INDIVIDUALS AND SO YOU SAW THE RESTAURANTS AND THE NIGHTCLUBS AND THE ECZEMA WIFE STARTING TO EMERGE BECAUSE OF EXPOSURE.
>> THE PEOPLE COME AND SAY LOOK AT ALL THESE COOL PEOPLE.
[02:05:03]
WHETHER IT'S ART, MUSEUMS.WE COULD COME BACK TO THE SLIDE.
THERE ARE 2 OF THEM FOR THE DOWNTOWN.
TALKING ABOUT OUR BUILDINGS BOTH THE LIBRARY AND CIVIC CENTER.
THE WHOLE BACK ON THAT A LITTLE BIT.
A FAÃ♪ADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
THIS COULD BE A NOT A LOT OF MONEY OR A LOT OF MONEY DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.
SOMETIMES IT'S AMAZING WHAT A COAT OF PAINT OR DIFFERENT FACIA OR SIGNAGE CAN DO TO HELP BRING FOUND DOWNTOWN.
THERE'S A LOT OF CONCEPTS CAN COMPLEMENT BOTH KEVIN AND CARL SOME OF THESE IDEAS.
EVEN WHERE THERE MIGHT BE A BLADE SIGN UNDULY FRESHLY PAINTED BUILDING THAT'S VACANT LYONS.
IT MATES A FUTURE CANDY SHOP AND HAVE A REAL ATTRACTIVE SIGN.
AND BRING ALL THIS TRAFFIC DOWNTOWN WELL I CAN OPEN MY ICE CREAM SHOP OR CANDY SHOP THERE.
GIVE IT SOME VISION OF LIFE AND SOME COLOR AND POP.
IF YOU READ THE DOWNTOWN SPECIFICALLY IT HAS WOVEN THROUGHOUT ALL USE THE TERM ECLECTIC.
IT'S NOT THE TRADITIONAL OH YEAH THAT'S HOW THE OLD DOWNTOWN WAS.
IT'S GOING TO BE HIP AND HAPPENING.
SOMETHING THAT WOULD DRAW OUR COACHELLA CROWD AS MUCH AS IT WOULD BE THE OLDER CROWN.
THE HISTORY MUSEUM IS IN NEED OF SOME ELECTRICAL RENOVATIONS THAT ARE ALMOST IF I WERE TO SAY THE ABCS FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND IT'S GETTING CLOSE TO AN AA FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT.
THERE DIFFERENT GIMMICKS TO GET PEOPLE TO COME DOWNTOWN.
ONE OF THEM IF YOU'VE SEEN IT SOME CITY IS THIS A TRY ENORMOUS RED CHAIR.
RIGHT? IS THAT A WORD? SHE IS LAUGHING AT ME.
THIS CHAIR, EVERYBODY WANTS TO GO AND GET THEIR PICTURE TAKEN.
I WAS IN NASHVILLE A COUPLE YEARS AGO MOST OF YOU SEEN THE SIGN.
IT'S ON THIS OLD DILAPIDATED BUILDING ON A BLOCK WALL AND IT'S A PICTURE AND IT SAYS I LOVE NASHVILLE.
EVERYBODY STANDS HERE TO GET THEIR PICTURE TAKEN.
BUT HE WANTS TO SIT ON THIS BIG RED CHAIR.
SOME CITIES WORKING WITH THE CELL COMPANIES HAVE PUT A PHOTO OR FAKE CELL TOWER.
IT'S A CELL TOWER AND THAT'S WHAT PAYS FOR IT BY THE WAY BECAUSE THEY GET CELL COVERAGE.
IT'S AN OLD LOOKING WATER TOWER OR IT'S A MOSAIC.
I'M ALMOST THINKING OF THE STRUCTURE THAT WERE BUYING FROM GOLDEN VOICE OF YOUR MIND TO WHAT IT IS.
THOSE COLORS AND STAINED GLASS YOU COULD PUT THAT UP AND GET THIS SKYLINE ISSUE GETTING OVER THE BRIDGES AND LIKE WHAT'S GOING ON DOWN THERE? THAT'S ONE OF THOSE IDEAS.
CLOCK TOWERS ARE COMMON IN CITIES TO CREATE A VERTICAL ELEMENT.
SO WHAT IS OVER THERE? IDEAS, NEURAL RESTORATION WE JUST COMPLETED A DRAFT OF THE STUDY.
WE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY CORRECTING THOSE AND CHANGING THOSE? ANOTHER ONE CARL BROUGHT UP AS AN ARTIST ON DENVER.
HAVE YOU SEEN THAT ONE? AND YOU STAND, A MEDICAL DOWNTOWN TO GET MY PICTURE TAKEN.
THIS IDEA OF SKIPPING THAT IDEA OR A MUSEUM OR COACHELLA RELATED.
I SEE A LOT OF WISDOM AND RATIONALE FOR THE LATEST ARTWORK TO GO TO DOCTOR CAREY ON PARK.
IF THERE'S SOMETHING COACHELLA RELATED THAT'S DOWNTOWN HERE IN SEMATECH I WENT TO THE 2018 COACHELLA AND I'M DRIVING THERE TO PHOENIX I'M GOING TO GO DOWNTOWN TO TAKE A PICTURE IN FRONT OF THAT ARTWORK THAT REMINDS ME OF THE FUN TIME I HAD A COACHELLA IN 2018 2012.
[02:10:01]
WE HAVE SOME PRETTY EMPTY ATTRACTIVE EMPTY SPACES A GREAT THIS WEATHER IT'S MILES AVENUE OR SOME OF THESE OTHERS.WE KNOW THE CHAMBER ROOF NEED SOME LOVE.
AND THEN THE COD PARKING LOT, RIGHT NOW WE GOT THAT WHITE STEEL PORTION IT'S WHERE THEY WANT TO PUT A PARKING LOT, A STRUCTURE WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE OVER TIME.
COST WISE AND SO FORTH THAT MAY HAVE TO BE SURFACED INITIALLY.
WE ARE PARTICIPATION MAY ONLY BE AT THE VALUE OF THE LAND IF THAT'S YOUR DECISION TO THE COUNCIL.
WE NEED TO ADD SOME COST BECAUSE I THINK WE WANT ALL OF THE SUCCESS WERE, HOW WE WANT THAT PARKING LOT AVAILABLE NOT JUST FOR STUDENTS BUT PARTICULARLY AFTER HOURS BUT A PUBLIC PARKING AREAS WELL.
YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE IT IN A DOWNTOWN.
LET ME THROW SOME DOLLAR VALUES THERE AND GIVE YOU SOME PERSPECTIVE.
>> ON THE COD WE NEED MORE THAN JUST THE BUILDINGS.
THEY CAN DO EAST VALLEY STREET FAIR USE OUR PARKING LOT.
WE ALLOWED THEM NOT TO UTILIZE A BUILDING THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A COFFEE SHOP OR BOOKSTORE.
THEY NEED TO BRING SOMETHING TO THE TABLE BESIDES JUST THE BUILDING.
A LOT FALLS ON US BUT THEY CAN HELP US WITH THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO PROFIT FROM IT TOO.
AT THE SAME TIME SOME OF THEIR STUDENTS CAN GET JOBS.
AND CARL WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING.
>> I'M GOOD, IT'S ALL COVERED.
>> A PARKING STRUCTURE WOULD BE HUGE.
THE KIND OF GLOSSED OVER THOUGH IT COULD BE PART OF A FAÃ♪ADE IMPROVEMENTS IS THE IPAQ BUILDING AND THE PEOPLE IT'S BROUGHT DOWN FOR THOSE PERFORMANCES.
A LITTLE FACELIFT THERE NOT THAT IT'S UNATTRACTIVE BUT IT COULD BE SPRUCED UP.
WHERE I CAME FROM THERE WA NO PARKING ISSUE BECAUSE THERE WAS NOBODY IN DOWNTOWN.
RIGHT NOW THERE'S NOWHERE TO PARK.
I PRAY TO GOD WE HAVE THAT PROBLEM.
IT COULD SERVE THEM DURING THE DAY AND AT NIGHT IT GETS OVERNIGHT LIFE IF YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE GOD.
>> THE TOWER THERE SUPPOSED TO TAKE DOWN.
>> THAT WOULD COOL TO BE DOWN HERE.
>> WE FOUND 5 TO 10 FAÃ♪ADE IMPROVEMENTS JUST BETWEEN OASIS AND SMURF.
>> REALLY? I'M NOT REAL KEEN ON THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL ABSENT OWNERS THAT DON'T OPEN A BUSINESS.
I WOULDN'T MIND DOING FOR IPAQ.
WE PAID FOR THE ORIGINAL BUT IT WAS A MOVIE THEATER.
AS FAR AS BETWEEN OASIS AND TOWN OF ABOUT.
>> NOT INTERRUPT THE THOUGHT PROCESS WE MAY HAVE TO.
CARL HAD A CONVERSATION WITH ONE PROPERTY OWNER THIS PAST WEEK WHERE, WHAT IF WE PAID FOR THE PAINT, WE PAID FOR THE ARCHITECTURE IN THE FAÃ♪ADE AND YOU JUST LET US DO IT.
SOMETIMES WE MAY HAVE TO PUT THE LIPSTICK ON ON OUR OWN TIME IF HE WANTED TO BE DONE.
>> SOME OF THEM TOOK BENEFIT OF THE PROGRAM ARE READY.
>> AND SOME OF THEM DON'T LOOK BAD OBVIOUSLY.
AND THAT'S PROBABLY DUE TO THE PROGRAM.
IF WE NEED TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE DOWNTOWN WHICH IS THE CHANGE FROM BEFORE WE HAD A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL.
MAYBE WE COULD GET SOME CONSISTENCY IN SIGNAGE AND FAÃ♪ADE LUCK.
THE STYLE DOWN THERE'S KIND OF A MIDCENTURY MODERN.
IF WE GO THAT ROUTE AND TRY TO GET THOSE BUILDINGS BACK TO THAT MAY BE A LITTLE MORE COLOR.
IT WOULD BE WHEN HE PENNED A TONY CAME DOWN HERE TO GET A BEER AND A NICE MEAL OR SOMETHING.
>> ALL THE BUILDINGS HAVE CHANGED HANDS EXCEPT MINE.
THE OLD TIRE SHOP HAS CHANGED HANDS.
THE OTHER BUILDING IS THE CITY.
THERE'S BEEN NOTHING BUT NEW OWNERS THERE.
WHAT MY THOUGHT IS THIS IF WE DO SOMETHING TO THE FAÃ♪ADE THAT WE NEED TO
[02:15:04]
HAVE QUOTE ENFORCEMENT KEEP IT UP.BECAUSE IN 2 OR 3 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD AND SEEING SIGNS OF ART MAINTAINER PULLED OFF WALLS.
IF WE END UP STARTING FRESH WHEREVER THAT IS WHERE THE CLOCK STARTS TICKING ON THESE BUILDINGS TO BE MAINTAINED.
ONCE I GET THERE IT SHOULD BE EASIER IF THERE'S ACTIVITY AND THINGS GOING ON.
ABSENT BUILDINGS, COULD SOMEONE WALK AND MAYBE IT'S NOT OPEN ALL THE TIME? THERE'S A STAFFING ISSUE? THERE'S ARTWORK OUTSIDE IT MAY BE INSIDE PHOTOS.
AND THE SCHEMATICS THAT CHANGE EVERY YEAR.
IT'S A MAY BE A WAY TO FILL ONE OF HER VACANT BUILDINGS.
THE BURGER ABILITY MIGHT BE MILLIONS TO GET THAT GOING.
AND WE SHOULD NEED SOME HELP FROM OTHERS TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
>> MR. HIGGINS HAS A LOT OF THINGS.
COOKSEY HAS THEM IN THE VIP ROOM.
>> I HAVEN'T BEEN TO ONE OF THESE FESTIVALS AND I'M IMAGINING SUMMONS HAVE THIS GREAT EXPERIENCE HERE THEY WANT TO COME BACK AND THERE'S A LOT OF REPEAT VISITORS AND PARTICIPANTS AND ATTENDEES.
WHAT WOULD HELP REMIND THEM? WHAT WOULD HELP THEM SAY OF THE AUTHORS THAT AND I WANT TO COME BACK.
THEY WANT TO COME TAKE THEIR PICTURE THERE AND SNAPSHOT THEMSELVES THERE OR THAT'S HOW WE MULTIPLY THIS.
THERE'S NOTHING THAT TIES THE DOWNTOWN TO THE FESTIVALS.
OTHER THAN THE TAMALE FESTIVAL.
>> SOMEPLACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN STAND UNDER A SIGN THAT SAYS COACHELLA FESTIVAL OR WHATEVER.
>> WE HAVE THE DOG BUT IT DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING.
INTO A PIECE AND YOU CAN INSTAGRAM THAT ALL DAY.
AND YOU GET FOLKS DOWN HERE SOMETHING GENERATING SOME MONEY.
>> QUESTION ON THE FIRST ITEM.
>> IT'S A LONGER DISCUSSION, GLENN TOUCHED ON IT.
THIS OUTSTANDING TEAM REFERRED TO IN ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE TEAM WE WANT TO BRING IN THIS IS WHERE WE BRING OUR FUTURE EMPLOYEES TO TELL THEM THIS IS WHERE WE WANT YOU TO WORK AND THIS IS WHERE YOUR CUBICLE IS.
WE WANT TO TRACK THESE LARGE INVESTORS TO INVEST THEIR MANY INTO INDIO THIS IS WHERE WE BRING THEM.
IT'S NOT THAT IT'S EMBARRASSING.
IT'S NOT, IT COULD BE MAINTAINED BETTER TO THE POINT.
IT'S NOT EFFICIENT FROM A FUNCTIONAL STANDPOINT.
IT'S NOT SOUNDPROOF FOR AN TYPE OF CONFIDENTIALITY.
I COME IN ON THE WEEKENDS AND THIS LAST WEEKEND WAS III TIME I'VE BEEN HERE 2 MONTHS WE HAD TO PUMP OUT THE SEWER, THE PLUMBING SEWER.
WE HAVE UNITS ON TOP THAT ARE FAILING FROM THE CHILLER WE HAVE ALL THE RETAINING WALL AROUND BOTH THE LIBRARY HERE RAMBLING TO THIS CONCEPT KNOWING WE NOW ARE INVESTED IN THE LIBRARY.
WE DON'T OPERATE IT BUT WE ON THE BUILDING.
IF WE COMBINED THIS EFFORT WITH THE PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDING AND MAY ONLY BE, THIS IS HIGH, ONE AND AND A HALF TO 1.8 MILLION WOULD HAVE TO COME OUT ABOUT 11.
THIS WOULD BE A BRAND-NEW CITY HALL AND LIBRARY PROBABLY ON THE SITE.
[02:20:13]
WE NEED TO DO IT EVENTUALLY.IT'S ONLY GONNA GET MORE EXPENSIVE OVER TIME.
DOESN'T MEAN WE HAVE TO PU IT IN.
I THINK IT WILL HELP ASSESS THE TEAM.
IT WILL HELP US ATTRACT BETTER TEAM MEMBERS AND INVESTORS.
I HOPE THAT ANSWERS MOST OF IT.
>> IS THERE ANY CHANCE OF GETTING GRANTS FOR THE LIBRARY?
>> YES BUT NO MORE THAN $500,000.
A LOT OF THOSE GRANTS I JUST WENT THROUGH A PROCESS THEREFORE COLLECTION AND MAYBE THE FURNISHINGS AND FIXTURES.
WE COULD AS AN OPTION IT'S PROBABLY AT LEAST THAT MUCH OR MORE.
WE COULD TRY TO WORK WITH WHAT WE HAVE AND MAKE IT PRETTY OUTSIDE.
THEN WE STILL HAVE THE OLD BUILDINGS.
WE TALKED THE OTHER DAY ABOUT SWAPPING.
MAYBE CITY HALL MOVES INTO THE LIBRARY SPACE THE LIBRARY MOVES OVER HERE.
THEY HAVE MORE SPACE THAN THEY NEED.
THEN AGAIN WE HAVE A BUILDING BIT IN THE MID-70S AND SO WE PUT THE LIPSTICK ON IT.
IF WE DON'T DO IT NOW I SAY WITHIN THE NEXT 5 TO 7 YEARS WOULD HAVE TO DO IT AND IT WILL COST ANOTHER 5 OR $10 MILLION.
I WAS TALKING TO THE CHIEF ON THIS FIRE STATION THIS IS NOT A MERCEDES.
THINK OF THE PRIDE WITH ALL THAT WERE TALKING ABOUT IN THE DOWNTOWN WHERE PEOPLE WOULD COME TO THAT CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS AND THE INVESTORS WILL SAY SOMETHING IS HAPPENING HERE.
THEY CALL IT THE MUNICIPAL ISOLATION OF THE DOWNTOWN.
WHEN YOU CREATE THE CIVIC CENTER.
I FRANKLY LIKE TO BRING THE POST OFFICE IN PART OF THIS EFFORT TOO.
JUST TO CREATE TRAFFIC AND TO CREATE LIKE THIS IS WHERE I GO FOR MY CIVIC BUSINESS.
THE POST OFFICE IS IN PEOPLE'S MINDS.
IF IT'S ONLY ABOUT 10 PERCENT OF THE 11 AND WE CAN ACCOMPLISH THAT, A TYPICAL RESIDENT AUTHOR FOR LISTENING TO ME WILL SAY THAT'S NOT A PRIORITY.
IT MAY NOT BE AND THEY MAY NOT LIKE IT.
IS NOW THE RIGHT TIME OR NOT? SOMETHING TO CONSIDER AS WE MOVE AHEAD.
>> KEEP THAT IDEA ABOUT TH POST OFFICE.
THEY'RE NEVER GOING TO MOVE UNLESS SOMEBODY BUILDS IT.
IF WE BUILD THE SPACE THEY WILL MOVE THE OPERATIONS.
>> THERE IS A DEVELOPER IN THE COMMUNITY THAT OWNS A LOT OF AREA BY FARGO AND WE WENT TALKING ABOUT THAT.
I THINK IT WILL HELP US IF WE HELP WITH THAT EFFORT.
IN A COMMUNITY ARE SIZE DESERVES A DECENT POST OFFICE.
>> IN THERE SO FOOT TRAFFIC THAT IT WOULD REALLY HELP.
>> THERE ARE LINES ALL THE TIME.
>> WE ON PROPERTIES THERE THAT CAN HAPPEN.
WERE TALKING A THOUSAND PEOPLE A DAY TO THE POST OFFICE THAT WOULD BE DOWN THIS WAY.
MANY THINGS THAT PEOPLE WILL BRING PEOPLE OUT.
I THINK THE COACHELLA STAGECOACH MUSEUM I THINK IT BE BETTER IF WE COULD INCORPORATE THAT INTO THE DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES.
LET'S SAY WE COULD OFFER WHOEVER'S COMING INTO DOWNTOWN SAY IF YOU CAN HAVE A WALL DEDICATED TO THIS ART PIECE FOR THIS PICTURE THEN IT WOULD DETRACT FROM THEIR BUSINESS BUT GIVE A SENSE OF THE CITY ALONG WITH IT.
>> WE DO HAVE SOME VACANT BUILDINGS WE OWN IF WE AREN'T FINDING ANY USER IT COULD BE ON THIS CORNER UNTIL WE GET TO USE HER.
THEN WE MOVE IT AND MAKE IT LARGE PHOTOGRAPHS.
>> COULD ALSO BE A PLACE WHERE WE COULD SELL MERCHANDISE.
>> I GOT SOMETHING BUT IT'S NOT NICE.
>> WE DID THIS WHEN I WAS IN NEVADA.
HAD A BIG BILLBOARD ON THE INTERSTATE THAT SAID FREE ICE CREAM THEY GAVE THE ADDRESS.
THAT ICE CREAM MACHINE AND IT JUST PULLED PEOPLE OFF THE INTERSTATE AND THEY
[02:25:03]
SOLD THEIR SWAG.COOK SOMETHING TO GET PEOPLE OFF THE ROAD.
WE HAVE 100 AND SOMETHING THOUSAND CARS ON MY TENT.
>> MOST OF ITS GOODS MOVEMENT.
SO POTENTIAL CONSUMERS HOW TO GET THEM OFF THE INTERSTATE TO COME DOWNTOWN AS A THOUGHT?
>> WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE OL CHURCH DUMP OF THE BURGER BUILDING AS MUCH AS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE COME DOWN ¦.
THESE WE HAVE SOME CURRENT BIDS ON.
THE BUILDINGS ARE JUST A NUISANCE AND WE SPENT MONEY.
THEY COULD STAY OUT FOR PERIOD OF TIME.
>> EARLY GETTING ONE PERSON'S INPUT.
>> SO FAR YOU'VE GIVEN ME HIS NAME.
>> WE WILL BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
>> THAT'S WHY NEED A WORKSHEET.
MARKETING GOOD DISCUSSION OBVIOUSLY.
ARE SOME OF THESE OFF? ONLY JUST MENTIONED 2 OF THEM MAY NOT BE AS A HIGH PRIORITY IN HER MIND LIKE THESE DEMOS.
AND WE JUST LEAVE THEM UP FOR ANOTHER FEW YEARS AND USE THAT AND EVENTUALLY GET THEM DOWN.
YOU SAT 200 SOME THOUSAND DOLLARS ON SOME OTHER EFFORT IS WHAT YOU'RE PUTTING WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH AS A THOUGHT.
WILL HE BRING BACK THE ABOVE THE LINE A BLOODLINE SPREADSHEET IF IT'S GOING TO BE ALL THE SAME PROJECTS THAT WE HAVEN'T NARROWED THEM DOWN THAT'S FINE.
BUT, IF THERE'S SOMETHING ON HERE YOU'RE LIKE I DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT THAT.
WHAT ARE SOME YOUR THOUGHTS? YOU LIKABLE?
>> YOU HAVE NOT HEARD ANYONE SENSES ABOUT ADDING OR REMOVING ANYTHING.
I DON'T THANK YOU'RE GETTING THE FEEDBACK THAT YOU NEED.
IF YOU WANT TO HELP US NARROW IF NOT THAT'LL BE THE NEXT STEP YOU WILL SEE ALL THESE AGAIN WITH A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL.
>> I THINK I'D LIKE TO SEE IT ON THE LIST.
I'M NOT REALLY TAKING ANYTHING ON THE LIST ARE ADDING ANYTHING ON THE LIST.
>> LET'S KEEP GOING UNLESS OR SOME OTHER INPUT ON SOME OF THESE DOWNTOWN PROJECTS.
LITERALLY THAT COULD BE $12,000.
SOME OF THESE COULD BE VERY INEXPENSIVE.
WHERE AND HOW AND IF THAT'S THE CONCEPT.
THAT'S PART OF THE DISCUSSION WE WILL BRING BACK TO YOU.
HOW BIG OR SMALL DO YOU WANT TO GO.
UNIFICATION, WE TALKED ABOUT SOME THE GATEWAY MONUMENTS.
I THINK A GATEWAY TO THE DOWNTOWN AND SOME COMMUNITIES WILL DO AN ARCH.
WE HAVE SOME OF THAT WITH A STREET LIGHTING AND SO FORTH.
THE DOWNTOWN COULD BE PART OF THAT.
THE GENERAL PLAN RATHER SPECIFIES SOME KEY ENTRY POINTS WHERE I THINK THEY ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE SCHOOL FOR THE FIRST QUARTER MILE IS ALWAYS A PRISTINE SHADE.
THAT THE LANDSCAPING AND EVERY ONE OF THOSE AREAS, THOSE MEDIANS IS AS NICE AS YOU SEE ANYWHERE IN THE VALLEY.
AS YOU GET POOR ASKED A QUARTER-MILE BABY IT DROPS OFF SLIGHTLY.
JUST BECAUSE THE RESOURCES ARE THERE.
SOME SORT OF MONUMENTATION, TIM WAS IN INDIAN WELLS WHEN NEEDED SOME ATTRACTIVE, THAT YOU STILL SEE STONE MONUMENTS.
COULD IT BE SOMETHING NEW AND FRESH? THAT'S PROBABLY ON THE ORDER OF POST $1 MILLION DEPENDING ON WHAT LEVEL YOU WANT TO DO.
>> EVEN THE MURALS IS AT ALL GENERAL FUND MONEY? WE CONTROL THAT THILO.
THE MURALS I AGREED SOME OF THEM NEED TO BE REDONE.
WE DON'T OWN THE BUILDING SO WE DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE GONNA STAY OUT.
WE HAVE GREAT NEW ARTIST THAT COULD COME OUT PUT ABOUT NEURAL FOR 15 OR $20,000.
SOME NEED TO BE RENOVATED.TOTAL 730.
LET'S SAY 2 THIRDS OF THAT IS ARTS MONEY.
IF WE WANT TO DO THE MALTED HAVE TO BE SOME GENERAL FUND PARTICIPATION.
>> WHY CAN'T WE JUST PANAMA WHITE START THEM ALL OVER?
>> WE COULD REDO THE RAILROAD STRIPS.
WE COULD REDO THE HISTORY OF INDIO.
[02:30:03]
WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE TH SAME ONE?>> WE HAVE AT LEAST 100 ARTISTS IN CONTROL OF THE DUE MURALS.
>> AS LONG AS WE HAVE GOOD QUALITY.
AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE I DID IT.
>> AND ALSO SOME THE MURALS ARE NOT IN STRATEGIC LOCATIONS.
WHY WOULD WE HAVE A MURAL REPEAT ON SOMETHING THAT'S NOT THOUGHT ABOUT.
>> NOT GOING TO GIVE US A BANG FOR THE BUCK.
THE HAND IS LIKE $750,000 TO FIX THEM ALL.
WE KNOW THE RESOURCES ARE THERE.
>> YOUR TARGET ABOUT BRINGING PEOPLE INTO AREAS YOU SHOULD PUT THE MURALS WHERE PEOPLE HAVE TO GO INTO OUR CITY.
>> WE HAVE TO FOCUS THE RESOURCES.
NO MORE CROWDED AUDIENCE ANYTHING WE DO NOW PARTICULARLY BECAUSE THE FESTIVALS CURRENT AGE IS PROBABLY 20 Â" 30.
SO WHAT ARE THE 20 Â" 30 20 Â" 35 YEARS LOOKING AT? IF ARE A BUNCH OF 55-YEAR-OLDS TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT WOULD BE COOL.
TO YOUR POINT WE NEED TO THINK OF THE DIFFERENT AUDIENCE.
>> WITH LIKE A TILE STUDENT ART WORK ON THE WEST SIDE.
>> ACTUALLY THAT'S WITH A TIME CAPSULE IS.
>> I'LL BE HAPPY TO RIP IT DOWN TO SEE IF THERE'S A TIME CAPSULE.
>> ELIMINATE THEM ALL AND PICK STRATEGIC LOCATIONS.
CREATED ART WALK JUST REDO THEM FOR 20 TO 25,000 EACH.
>> I THINK THAT'S LASER FOCUSING OUR MONEY.
I DON'T THINK ANYONE DISAGREES.
WHEN AT TIMES TO WHAT THOSE ARE PIECES ARE.
>> SOMETHING WITH THE FESTIVALS.
I THINK SOMETHING WITH THE DESERT.
>> YOU COULD COME UP WITH THE LIST.
>> OF ASSEMBLY GOES TO EVERYTHING THAT COUNSEL IS TURNABOUT WITH MURALS.
THE ONLY THING OF SKIN ADD WAS YOU CAN ACTUALLY SET THE DESIGN PARAMETERS.
YOU CAN ASK COUNSEL WITH INPUT FROM THE ARTS COMMISSION YOU CAN SET THE PARAMETERS SO IT'S NOT THAT YES YOU CAN'T GET'S ARTIST HEAD BECAUSE THEY HAVE ARTISTIC EVENTS BUT THEY YOU CAN SELECT PARAMETERS.
SO WHAT YOU AND THE COUNCIL WANTS MOTHER STARTING OVER THE ANSWER IS YES.
>> THAT'S WHAT WE DID WITH THE ORIGINAL ELECTRICAL BOXES.
WE TOLD ARTISTS WE WANT A BOX ABOUT THE PRESIDENTS.
I KNOW WE WILL FROM THIS BRANDING AND ARC MARKET ANALYSIS.
SOME I'M NOT EVEN 55 YET SO SHE JUST SAID THAT.
THE OLDER VIEWPOINT THERE MAY BE SOME ARTWORK OR FAÃ♪ADES AND OTHERS I WANT TO CHALLENGE YOUR MINDSET.
YOU MAY LOOK AT AS OKAY, BUT OUR BRANDING THAT SOME OF THE INFORMATION COMES BACK AT ME NEEDS A MODIFICATION OF HOW OUR LETTERHEAD LOOKS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
IT MIGHT PUSH HER EDGE BUT NO WE HAVE AN AUDIENCE THAT'S DIFFERENT THAN US IN THE ROOM.
IT'S ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER AS WE RAMBLE ONTO THAT.
[02:35:02]
THAT MIGHT GET TO THE BEAUTIFICATION 2 IT'S AMAZING HOW PEOPLE FEEL HOW OTHER MEDIANS ARE MAINTAINED.IT'S A FEELING OF THE OVERALL COMMUNITY.
JUST THROWING IN THERE'S ONE BLANK MEETING ON HIGHWAY 111 IF YOU KNOW WHERE TODD IS JUST ROCK OR DIRT.
THAT'S A LIKE NUMBER BUT WOULD IT GO IN THERE AND AT SOME COLOR ON WHAT EXIST THERE? OR FOCUS ON THE FIRST QUARTER-MILE IF THERE'S INTEREST.
WE COULD GO $20,000 A WEEK AGO 2 MILLION.
WE TALKED ABOUT A FAÃ♪ADE IMPROVEMENT FOR DOWNTOWN.
WE NEED TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO PROVIDE SOME FACE LIFTING.
OPERATION FACELIFT IF YOU WANT TO CALL IT ON 111.
IT IS OUR MONEY FOR THAT? IS IT A PRIORITY? WHEN IT'S A LOAN PROGRAM MIGHT BE DIFFERENT THAN A DOWNTOWN.
YOU'RE BASICALLY ASKED THEM TO PUT SOME SKIN IN THE GAME.
IF YOU DO IT RIGHT OVER TIME BECAUSE 111 IS A LONG STRETCH.
THEIR PAIN BACK THE LOAN A LITTLE BIT AT A TIME.
AND THAT'S FUELING THE LOAN FOR SOMEBODY ELSE.
SOMEONE GIVE A PERSPECTIVE LIKE 7 TO 10 YEARS.
WE HAVE A REVOLVING LOAN FUND, 30 YEARS FROM NOW IF EVERYONE PARTICIPATES ALONG THAT CORRIDOR IT'S FEEDING ITSELF.
OBTAIN 3 AND A 50,000, COULD BE HALF A MILLION COULD BE 35,000.
THE HOUSING THAT'S PROJECTED FOR HAVING 111.
THINK OF THESE BEAUTIFUL NEW HOUSING COMPLEXES 2 TO 3 TO 4 ALONG THE WAY.
THAT WILL ENCOURAGE THE COMMERCIAL AND FRESHEN UP YOUR SPACE.
IN THE DREAM WOULD BE DRIVING DOWN 111 FROM JEFFERSON, YOU WOULDN'T FEEL ANY DIFFERENT AS YOU MOVE THROUGH TOWN AND HE GOT TO THE END OF 111.
I KNOW THAT'S A 30 YEAR DREAM.
WHAT WE NEED TO DO NOW TO GET 30 YEARS FROM NOW TO GET TO THAT.
WE FINISH ALL THE OTHER STUFF AND WE HAVE THAT SECTION AND EVERYBODY GOES OUT.
FIRST THING YOU SEE IS YOU GO IN THERE.
>> JEFFERSON IS THAT BEAUTIFUL AND VERY WELL DONE THEN YOU GET THERE.
>> I KNOW IT'S DIFFICULT TO KEEP IT UP AND A LOT OF PLANTS DIE BECAUSE THEY SPRAY THE LA QUINTA WEEDS.
MISS GOES OUT INTO THE BUSHES.
WE COULD TAKE IT OUT AND LEAVE IT ROCK OR FIX IT.
>> THERE IS A PRIVATE PROPERTY PIECE ON THAT LINEAR PIECE.
IT LOOKS LIKE WERE GETTING CLOSE.
THERE'S AN IED ISSUE FOR THE LACK OF POWER.
THAT WILL GATEWAY VISION MEL TALKED ABOUT FOR YEARS.
IS THERE AS PART OF WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
THAT STRETCH OF MEDIAN WOULD BE EASY.
ON INDIO BOULEVARD YOU HAVE TO FIRST TAKE OVER THE HOMELESS.
JUST ADD GRAVEL LIKE IT MATCHES THE RAILROAD TRACK.
THAT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO BE ON THE LIST WE COULD JUMP ON THAT RIGHT AWAY.
>> I COULDN'T AGREE MORE ON ANY ONE OF THOSE POINTS.
WE CAN'T PLANT ANYTHING BECAUSE WATER SEEPING FROM THE CANAL.
WE COULD PUT SOMETHING ON THE CORNER.
IF THE INTEREST WERE CITY OF JEFFERSON IN 111 WHERE SHIELDS IS.
OTHER THAN THE WHITE FLAGS IN THE BIG WHITE FLAGS THAT SAY Â".
IT COULD BE SOMETHING DECORATIVE.
[02:40:02]
THEN YOU COME DOWN HIGHWAY 111 AND AS YOU'RE COMING DOWN MONROE THAT STRIPMALL IS GOSH IF WE COULD REDO THE WINDOWS AND PAINT.>> IT'S LIPSTICK THAT COULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
SO SIMILAR TO WHAT'S BEEN DONE OR COULD BE DONE MORE THE DOWNTOWN IS USING 111 FOR THAT.
AGAIN WERE RUNNING OUT OF MONEY I'M SURE.
SOME OF THESE DECORATIVE LIGHTING.
I THINK THE MAYOR TALKED ABOUT OTHER MEDIAN WORK AND EXAMPLES.
THIS IS JUST A PROGRAM BUT WE NEED TO CEDE IT.
WE USUALLY HAVE A COMMITTEE AND CITIZENS AND IT'S A MARKETING PLOY.
THERE'S A KEEP AMERICA BEAUTIFUL PROGRAM WE CAN ALIGN WITH.
BUT BEAUTIFICATION I DON'T KNOW WHY IT WASN'T SURPRISED BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S AN IMPORTANT MATTER.
THAT WAS RESOUNDING AND I THINK WE WILL HEAR FROM THE OTHER SURVEY.
WE NEED TO BEAUTIFY THE COMMUNITY.
NEVER THAT TAKES AND HOWEVER IT MEANS NOT REPRIORITIZE THAT WILL GET TO THAT POINT.
HIS URGES AGREEMENT THAT THAT'S A PRIORITY? OR MAYOR AND VICE MAYOR?
>> BEAUTIFICATION IS NUMBER ONE RIGHT?
>> PARKS WAS BROUGHT UP AS WELL.
WE DO HAVE A GRANT FOR SOUTH JACKSON AND THERE'S SOME APPROPRIATIONS IN TOW.
THIS ADDITIONAL WOULD BE BEYOND THAT.
JUST KNOWING IT'S USED SO MUCH.
MILES AVENUE PARK IMPROVEMENTS.
THERE WAS A MASTER PLAN THAT WOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE BUT COMPONENTS OF IT LIKE A DOG PARK OR OTHER ELEMENTS.
ACTUALLY IF WE DO THE WHOLE MASTER PLAN IS CLOSER TO 2 MILLION THAN 1 MILLION.
YOU HAVE A GRANT PENDING FOR THE BEAUTIFUL SPORTS PARK.
WE NEED TO DO SOME PARTICIPATION THERE IF WE GET THE GRANT WE SHOULD KNOW END OF AUGUST MAYBE OR SEPTEMBER.
YOU SEE WHY BACK TO THE PRIORITIZATION.
WE DON'T KNOW IF THIS GRANT IS IN.
IF YORTY SPENT THE MONEY ON SOMETHING ELSE THEN WE GET THE GRANT YOU LIKE OH NOW WE NEED TO MOVE ¦.
>> WAITING ANOTHER MONTH OR 2 WE WILL KNOW MORE FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO NAIL DOWN SOME OF THESE THINGS.
I DO KNOW WILL BE BILLED AT SPORTS PARK WE NEED TO FIND ANOTHER 5 OR $600,000 A YEAR TO MAINTAIN IT EVERY YEAR.
IT'S A GREAT THING BUT WE BUILD IT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE MAINTAIN IT WELL.
IF YOU WENT TO THE 11 OR 13 PARKS AND FOUND WHERE WE GET THE BEST BANG FOR OUR BUCK AND TRY TO SPREAD THAT MINING AROUND AND FRESHEN THEM ALL OUT.
MAKING SURE SOME OF THAT MIGHT BE HARDSCAPE OR DECORATIVE ROCK.
THEN IT WILL SAVE US MANY OVER TIME.
WE'VE GOT TO SPEND SOMEBODY UP FRONT TO GET THERE IT'S THAT CONCEPT.
>> WANT TO MAKE SURE COUNSEL UNDERSTANDS ON THE PARKS.
THE 13 PARKS WE HAVE AND WE MAINTAIN.
IN ADDITION TO THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF GENERAL FUNDS INCLUDING MEDIANS IN PARKWAYS.
THE ENTIRE CITY WE HAVE OVER 50 OTHER AREAS ON TOP OF PARKS.
ADJUST FOR COUNSEL'S BENEFIT WILL HE GET $1 MILLION TOWARDS ALL OF THAT MAINTENANCE PERIOD.
SO WE REALLY MAY NEED TO CONSIDER MAYBE ELIMINATE SOMETHING THE PARKS THAT ARE NOT IN USE AND FOCUS ON THE ONES THAT ARE IN USE.
>> IS YOU THANK YOU NEED FOR ALL OF THEM?
WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE DESERT WRECK MAINTAINING THESE.
I MAINTAIN EVERYTHING IN INDIAN WELLS.
GLENN KNOWS HOW WE MAINTAIN THINGS IN INDIAN WELLS.
DESERT WRECK WILL COME HERE AND TAKE OVER THE PARKS AND TAKE OVER EVERYTHING AND MAINTAIN IT WITHOUT ASKING FOR A LOT MORE MONEY.
IF THE MONEY IS AVAILABLE WE WILL TAKE CARE OF IT.
>> THAT'S ONE MORE THING THAT YOUR SMALL STUFF HAS TO CARRY WE CAN HAVE A PARTNERSHIP AND GIVE THE MONEY TO SOMEONE ELSE THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO IN AN ECONOMY SCALE.
>> IS THAT POSSIBLE? IS IT BETTER TO SPEND THAT MONEY ON STAFF CONSULTANTS THAT ARE SUPERVISED TO DO ALL THIS.
[02:45:01]
WHAT IS IT.THAT'S WHY I WAS WONDERING IF WE COULD CONTRACT OUT 25 PARK SISTER 13 PARKS.>> THEY DO CONTRACT OUT TH MAN'S LANDSCAPING MAINTENANCE.
WHAT THEY COULD REALLY HELP US IS OUR PROGRAMS. WE DEATHLY COULD USE THE PROGRAMS. I DON'T NEED THEM FOR THE MAINTENANCE.
AT THE MONEY IS AVAILABLE TO TAKE CARE OF THE MAINTENANCE I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.
BUT THE PROGRAMS WE NEED HELP.
>> WE DO HAVE AN AGENDA ITEM I THINK IT'S A SEPTEMBER MEETING WHAT DOESN'T REXALL COME TO A PRESENTATION AND IT'LL BE INTERESTING I DON'T KNOW IF THE MILLION DOLLARS WILL BE ENOUGH.
IF WE HAD THAT $11 MILLION FLOW AND IF THAT WAS A PRIORITY MAYBE ONE OF THAT 11 NEEDS TO BE EVERY YEAR TO DEDICATE TO MAKE THOSE PARKS BUT WE THINK THEY SHOULD BE.
>> I KNOW WE DON'T NEED TH ONE AT THE OLD, SHELTER.
IT WOULD BE MUCH MORE RETURN ON INVESTMENT TO BRING A HIGHER PAYING JOB INDUSTRY THERE.
ONE THAT WE BOUGHT IN THE FESTIVAL I DON'T SEE IT EVER BEING A PARK.
THIS MORE UTILIZE FOR FESTIVAL ACTIVITIES.
THE MONEY WOULD HAVE TO GO IN THE PARKS.
>> BUT HAS TO GO TO PARK ACQUISITION.
>> OF ORGANA DO THAT.WE NEED NEW MONEY IN THE FLOW.
IF THEY MAKE SURE THEY SIZE NOT PROPERLY EVEN IF THEY ARE THE MONTHS OF MAINTAIN OUR PROGRAM ARE BOTH THERE'S RESOURCES THAT WIL CONTRIBUTE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME MOVEMENT THERE.
IT WAS KIND OF MIXED OPINION ON WHERE TO SPEND.
MAYBE THIS ISN'T THE TIME WE CAN BRING IT TO A COUNCIL MEETING.
NOT INCLUDED IN THIS MONEY IS A 5000 APPROPRIATIONS THAT COULD HELP.
AND WE HAVE A GRANT GOOD THINGS WILL HAPPEN IN SOUTH JACKSON BUT MORE NEEDS TO HAPPEN.
FOR MILES PARK I THINK NEED A LINE ITEM OF WHAT THAT COULD INCLUDE.
BERGEN BUILDING ADDITION TO TEAR DOWN.
THERE WAS SOME MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS THAT CAME ON FROM STAFF AND SOME OF YOU.
THERE'S A STUDY UNDERWAY ABOUT TO COMMENCE WITH REGARD TO BROADBAND.
I SPOKEN TO THE CITY MANAGERS IN THE REGION.
EVERYONE WANTS TO SEE REGIONALLY WHAT WE COULD DO ON THIS MATTER.
WE PROBABLY HAVE SOME PARTICIPATION NEEDED.
[02:50:02]
SO AN EXAMPLE FOR $250,000 THERE.THE BUSINESS GRANTS WERE VERY GENEROUS AND THE LAST WAVE OF SUPPORT FOR BUSINESSES .
MY UNDERSTANDING IS ABOUT 140 APPLIED FOR THE LATE 70 REFUNDED.
SOME OF THOSE LIKE THE CHILDCARE PROVIDERS THERE WAS ADDITIONAL MONEY THAT CAME IN AFTER FROM THE FEDS.
IF YOU WANTED TO PICK THE NEXT 70 UP OR PORTION THEREOF IS PROBABLY BETWEEN 4 AND $600,000 THAT COULD BE USED FOR THOSE BUSINESSES .
TO IMPLEMENT WHAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT YOU COULD GO LOW OR HIGH.
IT COULD BE $50,000 OR $350,000.
IF THAT'S A SERIOUS EFFORT IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME HONEY.
THE IED SUBSTATIONS ON LONG STORY AND WE HOPE WE CAN GET OTHER TO PAY FOR IT OR IT COULD BE WRAPPED UP INTO A BOND.
IT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 5 AND 10 MILLION.
THE SUBSTATION FOR THE TEAM IS NEEDED FOR ANY ADDITIONAL GROWTH IN A KEY AREA OF THE CITY INCLUDING THE DOWNTOWN.
THERE SOME MISCELLANEOUS UPGRADES AT THE SENIOR CENTER AND TEEN CENTER JUST TO FRESHEN UP THOSE BUILDINGS.
IF YOU HAVE SOME QUESTIONS WE WILL RESPOND TO THOSE.
TO SUPPORT THE MARKETPLACE AND THE PROJECTS BEHIND, THE CITY OWNS A PROPERTY.
WE NEED TO FRESHEN UP PERHAPS.
THERE'S A PARK COMPONENT WHICH THE DEVELOPER IS WILLING TO HELP IN THE VALUE OF THE LAND WILL HELP SOME.
PROBABLY NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE TO COMPLETE THAT AND MAKE THAT AS MEANINGFUL AS ORIGINALLY COMPLETE PLATED.
IT HAS A SUNDRY ITEMS THAT IF WE DIDN'T WORK INTO OUR OPERATIONAL BUDGET ONE-TIME EXPENSES COULD BE USED IN I'LL LET SCOTT TALK ABOUT THAT IN A MINUTE.
TIM CAN TALK ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.
I THINK THE MAYOR CAME UP WITH THE IDEA.
HOW CAN THAT BE DEVELOPED IN SOME OF OUR VACANT BUILDINGS PERHAPS SOME DOWNTOWN OR LEASE ONE OF THEM.
BUT, SCOTT WHAT OF THE THOUGHTS WITH THE SENIOR AND TEEN CENTER?
WITH THE TEEN CENTER IS PRIMARILY THE SECURITY CAMERAS THERE.
AND WITH SCHOOL RIGHT AROUND THE BEND AUGUST 18 WE LACK THE CAMERA SYSTEM.
THAT'S THE PRIMARY NEED THERE.
THERE'S ALSO SOME CONCRETE AND SERVICE UPGRADES AROUND THEIR INCLUDING THE BASKETBALL COURTS.
THEN WITH THE SENIOR CENTER IT'S ALSO CAMERAS AND SO FORTH.
THEY'RE ASKING FOR SOME DESIRES AS WELL.
THERE'S PROBABLY ABOUT $50,000 THAT ARE ACTUAL NEEDS OF THE SENIOR CENTER WHEN IT COMES TO SURVEILLANCE.
AND THEIR SOUND SYSTEM THAT THEY, THE ENTIRE AUDIO AND VISUAL THROUGHOUT THE FACILITY.
WHICH THEY UTILIZE QUITE A BIT.
AT LEAST THE SENIOR CENTER, IS THERE ANY CONSIDERATION MAY BE WEAKENED MAKE THE SIGN A LITTLE SMALLER THAN THE INDIO SENIOR CENTER THAT TAKES THE WHOLE FAÃ♪ADE OF THE BUILDING?
[LAUGHTER] THE GENTLEMAN, HILARIO WAS RUNNING THE BOXING PROGRAM IS BACK.
THE BOXING IS BACK IN FULL SWING.
>> I THINK IT'S SOMETHING WE CAN LOOK AT.
THE POLICE OFFICER ASSOCIATION PUT IT IN.
THEY BUILT A BOXING GYM JUST DOWN THE STREET.
IN THE MISCELLANEOUS CATEGORY YOU WOULD LIKE US TO RESEARCH? REMEMBER WHEN WE BRING THIS BACK IT'S ABOUT $36 MILLION USES AND ABOUT 11 EVERY
[02:55:02]
YEAR.>> IT'S A COOL CONCEPT THAT'S LIKELY NEEDED.
IT'S WHO DOESN'T HOW MUCH IS A COST SOMEWHERE SET OUT? WE HAVE VACANT BUILDINGS AT LEAST NOW WE HOPE THEY'RE NOT VACANT FOR LONG-TERM BUT MAYBE THEY COULD BE USED FOR SOME OF THOSE THINGS.
>> THEY HAVE TALKED TO MOVE IT TO COD DOWNTOWN.
IF WE DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT OR SIMILAR MAY BE BOTH ARE INVOLVED.
>> COMPLETE A CORPORATE IN THAT SHARED SPACE?
>> INCORPORATED INTO SHARED SPACE?
>> FOR NEW BUSINESSES LIKE AN OFFICE FOR THE DAY.
THAT IS A CONCEPT I HAD A MINE.
SOME OF IT HAS TECHNOLOGY RELATED.
SOMEONE'S JUST TRYING TO HAVE A SPACE AWAY FROM THEIR HOME.
AND IF THEY INCUBATE THEIR BUSINESS THEN THEY MOVE INTO THE SHOP AND THIS THEORY.
>> THEY'VE DONE A PHENOMENAL JOB OF THAT.
WELL, TO ME IT'S BEEN HELPFUL.
IN PART TO KNOW WE ARE ALL COLLABORATING A TALK ABOUT SOME VERY IMPORTANT PROJECTS AND WE DO HAVE A LOT OF MONEY TO SPEND BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH.
THE NEXT STEPS WOULD BE FOR US TO DO SOME MORE RESEARCH.
DON'T HESITATE COUNCILMEMBERS TO EMAIL ME TO THINK ABOUT THIS AND SECOND THOUGHT I'M NOT SURE WE REALLY WANT TO DO THAT.
BUT THERE ISN'T REALLY MUCH OF THAT LIST WE DIDN'T REALLY GET TO THE POINT OF PRIORITIZING WE WILL BRING IT BACK TO YOU WITH A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL AND PRETTY PICTURES TO GET A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT WERE TALKING ABOUT.
SOME OF THE ROADWAYS ARE AWARE OF BUT WE WILL GIVE YOU MORE DETAIL.
IT WOULD BE THE TIME TO SAY ABOUT THE LINE OR BELOW THE LINE.
WE HOPE BY THAT TIME WE KNOW MORE ABOUT THE MONROE INTERCHANGE W RECEIVE THE FEDERAL APPROPRIATION OR NOT.
WILL THAT HELP US WITH A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THE PROJECT OR NOT.
WE WILL LET KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE FOR THE MARKETING SURVEY EFFORT AND SO FORTH THAT WILL BE HELPFUL.
WE NEED TO LEARN MORE ABOUT IED.
THERE'S NEVER A BETTER TIME FOR US TO KNOW SHE ATE WITH IED FOR NOW.
THEY WANT TO PROVE THAT THEY BE WILLING TO CONSIDER US.
IT'S AT SUBSTATION SOMETHING WE CAN GET TO THEM UPFRONT AND SOMEHOW WE SET UP A DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE TO PAY THEM BACK.
IF THAT IS A PRIORITY WHICH I THINK IT IS UNFORTUNATELY.
WE HAVE TO UPFRONT THAT WE JUST TOOK 5 TO 10,000,030 6 AND JUST DROPPED IT AWAY.
HOPEFULLY BY THE TIME WE BRING THIS BACK TO YOU WE KNOW THAT MATTER.
THERE'S A FEW STRAGGLERS LIKE THAT.
THERE IS MENTION THAT SOLEIMANI COULD GO TOWARDS ONE-TIME STIPENDS TO ESSENTIAL CITY WORKERS.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S PART OF THE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING ARRANGEMENT.
WERE NOT PREPARED TO TALK ABOUT THAT DETAIL YET NOW UNTIL THOSE ARE INCLUDED WE MEET WITH YOU WITH THE SESSION.
HE COULD SEE HOW THERE ARE SO MANY UNKNOWNS RIGHT NOW THAT THIS WAS A GOOD DISCUSSION.
WE WILL HAVE TO COME BACK WHEN WE KNOW MORE.
HOPING IT COULD BE WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH.
MENTION MY EMAIL FROM ROXANNE'S BEEN WORKING WITH KEVIN IN THE GOLDEN VOICE FORKS WITH A SPECIAL MEETING AT THE END OF AUGUST.
[03:00:02]
THE MAYOR'S AT TOWN LAST WEEK.MAYBE WE WILL KNOW MORE BY THEN OR EARLY SEPTEMBER IF WE ARE IN TOWN.
TOP ANOTHER ONE OF THESE POWER WELLS.
WE WILL WALK OUT OF THERE SAYING, OKAY IS THAT ONCE IT HAD TO DROP OFF THE LIST BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY.
EVEN THOUGH THERE ALWAYS OR MOST OF THEM ARE A'S.
>> I WOULDN'T HAVE ANY MORE TO THE LIST.
BECAUSE WE NEED TO PULL THE PRIORITIES OUT OF IT.
I WOULD SURE APPRECIATE THE LIST IN EXCEL.
>> GREAT, WE HAVE THAT QUEUED UP RIGHT NOW.
I THINK OUGHT TO TIGHTEN UP A LITTLE BIT ON THE NUMBERS.
END OF AUGUST OR EARLY SEPTEMBER MIGHT BE PAST LABOR DAY.
>> I COULD DO IT SOON BUT I'M GONE THE WEEK AFTER LABOR DAY.
>> WE DON'T HAVE A FIRST MEETING ON SEPTEMBER BUT WE HAVE 3RD WEDNESDAY WE ARE MEETING.
I WILL EMAIL YOU AND MAY BE PULLED DUE TO LESS.
WE'LL SEE IF THE END OF THE AUGUST IS AT THE END OF THE DISCUSSION.
I HOPE IT DOESN'T LIKE WORKING IN THE COUNT ON THE ROAD.
WE WILL KNOW MORE DOWN THE ROAD.
WE WON'T KNOW EVERYTHING BUT WILL KNOW MORE THAN.
BY III WEEK RENDER THE LEGAL CITIES.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE GOLDEN VOICE.
>> YOU PRIORITIZE THESE WITHOUT ANY MONEY IN MIND.
AND THEN IN THAT SCENARIO YOU GO UNTIL THE MONIES GONE.
IT'S A TECHNIQUE WE COULD TALK ABOUT THAT IN THE NEXT SETTING.
MAYBE WILL GIVE YOU BOTH OPTIONS.
MAYBE THE INITIAL STANDPOINT YOU NEED TO GET THAT LIST IN PLACE TO MATCH UP THE MONEY.
THERE ARE SOME PROJECTS WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE GONNA COST YET UNTIL WE BID THEM TOO.
IF YOU HAVE EXTRA MONEY MOVED ON THE LIST OR IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH WHEN YOU CAN ONLY DO 7 ITEMS.
>> THE KEY THERE IS COULD WE GET SOMEONE ELSE TO UPFRONT THAT MONEY?
IF WE CAN GET SOMEBODY ELSE IT IS TOTALLY RELEVANT AND IT KNOCKS OUT A LOT OF OTHER PROJECTS.
>> JUST REAL QUICK IF I MA SUGGEST THIS TO COUNCIL.
I THINK WHEN YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT ANY OF THESE PROJECTS THINK ABOUT IT THIS WAY.
I BELIEVE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO US IS TO GROW THIS REVENUE MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
IF WE HAVE MORE REVENUE WE COULD DO ALL OF THESE PROJECTS.
AND THERE'S A LIMIT TO HOW MUCH WE CAN DO OVER THE NEXT 3 TO 5 YEARS.
LOOKING AT THE STAFF HERE BEHIND YOU AND I'D LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE 2 GENTLEMEN IN THE BACK, JOSH NICKERSON AND RON WIRED.
THAT'S ALL I HAVE LEFT ON ENGINEERS.
BUT, YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT ANY OF THESE PROJECTS, ANYTHING THAT GROWS THE REVENUE STREAM PROBABLY TAKES PRIORITY OVER ANYTHING ELSE.
I THINK WE COULD DO EVERYTHING ELSE.
WE MIGHT WANT TO SCATTER OUT THE PIZZAS A LITTLE BIT.
YOU WANT TO DIVE INTO THOSE SO YOU CAN OPEN THE MEN AND GRAB SOME PLACES.
IF YOU'RE WILLING TO STAY THAT WOULD GREAT GREAT.
>> OKAY, CRUSH SO NOT USED TO DOING THIS.
NEXT REGULAR MEETING IS COULD TO BE JULY 21, 2021.
THIS MEETING IS FORMALLY ADJOURNED.
YOU ALL FOR COMING.
