A. Update from SunLine Transit Agency

Pro Tern Gregory for his leadership and support of their organization. She

vehicles in Oakland, Orange County and Ohio. She stated that a vehicle on a full
fill of hydrogen can travel 350 miles and an all battery electric bus on a full
charge can travel from 120-140 miles. She stated that zero emission vehicles are
more expensive, however, hydrogen is more stable and the economy on a
Cathedral City Page 2 Printed on 1/16/2020
hydrogen vehicle is better which allows you to set your budget in a certain way.
The more vehicles you produce and use the cost goes down.
Councilmember Mark Carnevale asked for clarification on the future super stop
facilities.
Lauren Skiver gave a brief description of what the super stop facilities could be
and discussed the possibility of working in partnerships with the City and
developers in conjunction with grant funding to build them.
Councilmember Rita Lamb discussed her recent trip to Croatia and what she
learned about hygroden.
Mayor Pro Tern Gregory thanked Ms. Skiver for her presentation. He stated that

going to do his best to continue the work. He reminded everyone that SunLine is
a Joint Powers Authority and is the City's transit agency.
Alan Carvalho, Cathedral City, was called to speak. He stated that former Mayor
Greg Pettis loved transportation, was instrumental in SunLine and transportation
regionally. He appreciates the kind words of Mayor Pro Tern Gregory.
B. Review of Cannabis Tax Rates
Recommendation: This item is presented for information, discussion and
direction only.
City Manager Charles McClendon provided a review of the Cannabis Taxes. He
stated that the Cannabis Task Force recommended that the City Council develop
language to clarify the existing practice related to the payment of distribution
taxes.
Councilmember Rita Lamb asked for clarification on distribution and the process.
Charles McClendon, City Manager, explained the cannabis manufacturing and
distribution process and tax associated with it. He stated that currently the City
does not charge a distribution tax.
Mayor Pro Tern Raymond Gregory stated that he would like to maintain a healthy
industry and remain competitive. He feels there needs to be clarification in the
code pertaining to what taxes the City is charging.
Mayor John Aguilar stated that the Task Force needs to look at the structure of
the current ordinance. He requested City Manager McClendon give a brief
overview of the Cannabis Task Force members.
Charles McClendon stated that the Cannabis Task Force includes three
members from the industry, City Staff and Community members.
Stephan Brown and Charles Burrell, Owners of Attitude Adjustment, expressed
their concern with the cannabis tax rates and how it has affected their company.
They described the types of products they distribute, how they process products,
Cathedral City Page 3 Printed on 1/16/2020
and the amount of taxes they pay.
Nancy Ross, Cathedral City resident, was called to speak. She feels that what
the City is doing is great. She commended those that had the forethought to put
the taxes in place and does not see a need for major change.
It was the consensus of the City Council to formalize the recommendation of the
Task Force to develop language to clarify the existing practice related to payment
of distribution taxes in a Resolution for consideration.
C. Plan to Provide Limited Services at City Hall on Fridays
Recommendation: This item is presented for information, discussion and
direction only.
Charles McClendon gave an overview of the plan to provide limited services at
City Hall on Fridays. He indicated that the costs associated with the services
provided on Fridays also includes additional staff members that are necessary for
the day to day operations of the City.
Mayor Pro Tem Gregory stated the proposed cost improves the service to
residents throughout the week. He feels that this is a good compromise and
supports moving forward. He encouraged the City to have services done at City
Hall on Fridays instead of the weekend when possible.
Councilmember Rita Lamb stated that when she first heard the proposal, she
thought it was just to rearrange staff to accommodate Fridays. She appreciates
all of the information that was presented. She feels that what is proposed is a lot
of money.
Councilmember Ernesto Gutierrez thanked the City Manager for his efforts and
realizes that this plan may have to be adjusted over time. He stated that a lot of
cities work 8 to 5 and close for lunch and suggested looking into that in the future
to save money. He supports moving forward and making adjustments as
necessary.
Mayor John Aguilar expressed his concern about being able to sustain these
costs in the long run. He supports moving forward but feels we need to be
cautious. He questioned the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) position. He
would like to accelerate the April 1, 2020 date.
Tami Scott, Administrative Services Director, explained the City's need for more
IT coverage if the City is open on Fridays. She stated that City currently does not
have a dedicated GIS staff member. She stated that the use of GIS is
instrumental in many if not all of the Departments within the City.
It was the consensus of the City Council to move forward with staff's
recommendations for implementing a 5-day week for City Hall. A separate
budget amendment will come before the City Council at a later date for approval.
D. Review of Art in Public Places Ordinance
Recommendation: This item is presented for information, discussion and
Cathedral City Page 4 Printed on 1/16/2020
direction only.
City Manager Charles McClendon gave an overview of the Art in Public Places
Ordinance. He stated that it has been suggested that the definition in the
Ordinance may preclude the use of art education funds for programs not open to
the general public. He recommended Council discuss their intent for the use of
the fund and provide direction.
Alan Carvalho, Chair of the Public Arts Commission and Cathedral City resident,
was called to speak. He stated that the Public Arts Commission feels the culture
of the City and the community needs to be addressed. Whatever the need is they
want to do it. And he feels they need to create a legacy. He also feels the youth
needs leadership skills which they gain from acting classes. He would like the
Public Arts Commission and the City Council to meet to go over the needs and
what the City Council and Commission would like to do moving forward.
Eric Vail, City Attorney, stated that the public arts program is funded solely by
development impact fees. Under California Law you can only spend development
impact fees consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act, which states that you can
charge a fee for public facilities which are defined to include public
improvements, public services and community amenities. There are California
Case Laws that interpret the section in this code that support a piece of physical
art in public facilities. He also stated that there is nothing in the Mitigation Fee Act
or in California Law that allows or prohibits the City from spending Development
impact fees on art education. When adopting the City's ordinance, a percentage
was set at 30% for art education annually. The City has taken the position that art
education falls under public services or community amenities. In his opinion it is
appropriate to use public arts funds to fund art education if the public can benefit
from the art education. In our ordinance, physical art must be in a public place
that is open to and accessible by the public without a cost. When the ordinance
was first drafted the language was broad and subject to interpretation to allow the
Public Arts Commission to work on how this program would work. He would like
direction from the City Council on how to proceed.
Councilmember Rita Lamb feels the Public Arts Commission and the City Council
need to work together to structure the program.
Councilmember Ernesto Gutierrez feels the Public Arts Commission does a great
job and all the events they put on have been great events. He would like to
continue doing the projects as long as they stay within the law.
Councilmember Mark Carnevale feels that the City Council has been very giving
over the years. He feels that it is very important that these funds are spent as
intended and open to the entire public.
Mayor Pro Tem Raymond Gregory feels it is important to maintain the public
element and the public element needs to be better defined.
Mayor John Aguilar agrees with Mayor Pro Tem Gregory. He suggested
developing language to be a permissive as possible but follow the public
definition and set parameters.
Cathedral City Page 5 Printed on 1/16/2020
The City Council directed the City Attorney to develop language to clearly define
the intentions of the City Council when funding art education and to bring back an
ordinance for consideration.
