St. Louis Social Justice Ministry has been working in the community of Cathedral city for the past 10 years, working in partnership with ICUC. ICUC represents over 50 congregations in the Inland Empire;and also works with the Pico National Network which represents over one million families in 18 states. We have worked with the City in the past on several issues of community concern such as;helping with the rights of undocumented drivers. Working with the city of Cathedral City officials in creating a towing policy that would allow undocumented community residents the opportunity to call a licensed driver to come and pick up the car to avoid the car being impounded. This Policy helped create a pathway to what is known has AB60,giving the opportunity for undocumented drivers to obtain a license. The Social Justice Ministry uses their faith as a vehicle to put their hopes and values into action. The ministry is very much dependent on community participation, especially those most impacted by the challenges and barriers that arise for them on day to day bases. We use the tools of our faith to engage the most powerful institutions in this day and age. We support the community by providing assistance in developing leadership skills that will give them the tools to address any pressing challenge and barrier that may arise in their daily lives. Our goal is to help the community to understand and realize their full potential in becoming agents of change. The Purpose of tonight meeting is to create an opportunity and a platform for the Community to develop a relationship with the City Council, to create an open line of communication where the City and the Social Justice Ministry work together, with the purpose of inclusion in future developments that may impact our city residents positively. This relationship, will give the community a platform to not only participate, but have the ability to make suggestions as well as have the option to make suggestions in the process. We(the residents of Cathedral City)would like to ask for a commitment that the City will work with us to establish this line of communication;for a commitment that future job opportunities created within the City of Cathedral city, will be offered to local business and residents. We feel strongly that by working together the revenues that may Cathedral City Page 2 Printed on 6/29/2016 City Council Special Meeting SPECIAL MEETING June 10,2016 be generated by these new employment opportunities can be invested not only in our communities,but in our youth.

Testimonies: Alma Garcia: Resident of Cathedral City who has to travel every day 15-20 minutes in order to get to her work. She does not have enough time to spend with her children;and has to leave them alone everyday to be at work on time. She would like to see more job opportunities inside the city. Sarah Baltazar. Youth perspective Experience with growing up as a student who has a dream of going to college but in my surroundings not everybody has the same dream.A lot of people want to work as soon as they get their high school diploma and we need to allow them opportunities to be successful with what they want to do regardless of the path they decide to take, so we want the city to provide the things that schools no longer do. Life Skill prep courses or classes that Cathedral City Page 3 Printed on 6/29/2018 City Council Special Meeting SPECIAL MEETING June 10,2016 offer specialized careers like, workshop, automotive care, or computer classes, and other job training opportunities. Research Report: by Josie Diaz and Emily Rosas Organizing Model: The Social Justice ministry was formed to address the most pressing needs of the community;and we do not take this task very lightly. Over the past 10 years we developed the ability to organize using a specific organizing model that gave us the opportunity to engage our congregation, and the community as well. The organizing model lets us capture information by engaging in a one on one conversation whit residents which helps us to identify the issues. Secondly we engage in research meetings,seeking information surrounding the concerns and trying to come up with solutions. We then meet with elected officials and experts on the issues and concerns that community have and begin dialogue to identify solutions and introduce the community to city representatives/agents. The 3rd piece of this model is to hold Public Community forums that create a space to educate the community on the issues as well as working on solutions;solutions that will help resolve some of the issues and concerns; collaborating with the city with the city to address some of the concerns in a timely manner, such as we are doing today. This process has allowed us to build a strong and successful working relationship with the City of Cathedral City as well as other cities within the Dioceses. Keeping to this process we make sure that we remain focused and are addressing the needs of our community by creating a venue to have an authentic dialogue that will help find solutions to our problems. Listening Campaign: During the first part of the organizing process, the one-to-one campaigns, we heard a multitude of issues and concerns voiced by community residents. We heard about the impact from the poor quality of education, Public Safety, immigration issues, lack of job development and impaired infrastructure that impacts our city residents. There were so many issues that were impacting our community, but too many to list here so we tried to identify what the community felt was most important and that impacted the dignity and the life of the people in our community. Economy Issues in our community: As we began to put all these problems on a wall we began to realize that even though these issues are big there has to be a root cause connected to this. In a quote from Pope Francis which states"These are not isolated issues. Can we recognize that I'm invisible thread it joins everyone of these forms of exclusions?There are not isolated issues. Can we recognize that invisible thread which link them?I wonder whether we can see that those destructive realities are part of a system which has become global. Do we realize that the system has imposed the The mentally of profit at any price, with no concern for social exclusion or a destructive nature?" With all the issues there is a common thread that connects everything;it connects the pain caused by the violence,by poor quality of education and the challenges and barriers due to immigration. The St. Louis Social justice committee alongside with ICUC,believe that the core fundamental thread that connects all these issues together in our city is our economy. Our economy connects us as residents of the community, as do the issues and struggles we face every day. Analysis of cathedral City:(unemployment, commute time for residents,youth perspective) As we began the 2nd stage of the organizing model, Research, we were able to identify within our city that there are 53,826 people living in the City;and out of that number we have 7,032 people that are unemployed. During this research phase we also recognized that 26%of the qualified working community make between$0.00 to$15,000.00 a year;way below the parameters of the Poverty Level. We are very proud to say that of the other cities in the Coachella Valley, Cathedral city is recognized as having one of the most hardest working communities around. The challenge faced by our residents is that they are Cathedral City Page 4 Printed on 6/29/2016 City Council Special Meeting SPECIAL MEETING June 10,2016 commuting other areas of the valley to work. This is where as a city we are not we are hurting our economy by not investing in them, by not creating local,good paying jobs. As we see in this slide(Unemployment by Ethnicity in our City), keeping in mind that the data reflects the qualified workforce between the ages of 16 to 75+, the data shows the number of people(qualified workforce)that are unemployed in Cathedral City. This validates what we stated earlier;that City of Cathedral City could be the city with the valleys hardest working community, but there is still the problem of people being unemployed. We feel that the City may not be investing in our people locally, that they may live here but need to work outside of their City, which can cause hardship for many families. Commute for Residents: As you can see, some of the city residents have to commute and travel across the entire Coachella Valley and into other counties for their work. 35%of Cathedral city residents commute and travel between 15 and 20 minutes sometimes longer, across the valley or even outside of the valley for work as well as for groceries, medical appointments, clothing etc. We feel and can see by the Research conducted that we are losing quite a bit of revenue that could be invested in our city, communities, residents and especially our youth. In our Research we found that the two cities that provide the greatest amount of work within the Coachella Valley, are Palm Springs and Palm Desert. 35%of our residents are commuting to work in these two cities. Our residents and workforce serve and work for other cities because of the lack of opportunities in Cathedral City; giving way to the decrease in community participation and support, they cannot be vested in our city. We know and truly believe that the city knows and is aware of the capable workforce that investing in our residents and community by providing local job opportunities,recreation and training, by creating a city collaboration, can increase our local economy and sustain it as well. Our Youth: If the City is not investing in its residents now;what message are we giving the youth?In this school year, 520 students graduated from Cathedral City High School,yet only 155 students graduated on a pathway to apply to a four-year university, and only 41 students were actually prepared for college. You do the math, that's 326 students that did not graduate on a College/University pathway. So that's 326 new workers being introduced into the workforce,but will be challenged in finding work Where do they find jobs, where can they go within our city to prepare for jobs? Our Asking for the City to Commit: • We are asking of our City Council and local government entity to make a commitment to work with the Residents;that we start with these new developments that the city is bringing into the City,such as Saxony, including the revenue that may come in from future projects, to make a strong and committed effort to invest in our community by insuring that opportunities such as jobs, be offered first to Cathedral City residents and jobs be filled using our local workforce. We are asking for a commitment to insure that you will make every effort in putting local community interests first by investing in our community. • We are asking for a commitment that as a city council and with the power you hold, that you will make a strong effort to enforce the CBA when working with new business and developers. • We want to grow our economy, and to do this we need to make sure that you are investing in our residents first, the CBA will insure Cathedral City residents are a priority.As Council members you have the Power to do so. Community benefits agreement(CBA): A Community Benefits Agreement or"CBA"is a contract signed by a community group and a real estate developer that requires the developer to provide specific amenities and/or mitigations to the local community or neighborhood. Site-specific Community Benefits Agreements(CBAs)ensure that particular projects create opportunities for local workers and communities. Often,however, these projects change the city's development paradigm;when decision makers realize what well-considered ro'ects with specific benefits attached can bring to the community, the city enacts community P J Cathedral City Page 5 Printed on 6/29/2016 City Council Special Meeting SPECIAL MEETING June 10,2016 benefits policies that set the stage for lifting thousands of people out of poverty. Future Job Commitments: • We asked for a commitment that new job opportunities created,jobs such as from Saxony as well as any future development jobs remain local • We asked for a commitment that the commitment(above)to keep future job opportunities local be included in all Community Benefits Agreements. • We asked for a commitment that a minimum of 20%of any and all new construction jobs stay local. • We asked for a commitment that a minimum of 30%of permanent jobs to stay local. Programs for youth: As you saw in earlier slide there will be 326 graduates looking for a job. We would like a commitment that revenue brought in from local Hotel Bed Taxes, 20%of this revenue be budgeted and invested in job trainings as well as life skills training, for all youth including Special Education students. We asked for your commitment to inform us(the community)of any future funding that becomes available to sustain these and future programs. Questions: 1. Will the city commit to creating a sub-committee that will focus and work in conjunction with city ni Benefit Agreement to present to the City council with a 90-day period.? representatives to create the Community g p ty Y P Answer: The city committed on creating a sub-committee that will work in conjunction with city representatives to create the Community Benefit Agreement to present to the City council within a 90-day period. 2. Will you commit to exploration in the allocation of a minimum of 20%of revenue collected from the bed taxes revenue and invest it into work force development programs such as job training and life skills? Answer: The city did not commit on giving 20%of revenue collected from the bed taxes revenue on the Saxony Hotel to invest in work force development programs such as job training and life skills,but they agree on helping us to find other resources to accomplish this goal.
