Discussion of Animal control field and shelter services with Riverside County Department , G of Animal Services. (K. Conner) Lt. Earl Moss advised the Council that the best contract that they could negotiate with the Riverside County Animal Campus was $925,498. for four years. Field Services is $333,984 and is included in that amount. The Shelter is where there is such a big increase and it in Incremental Increases, because they say the are loosing none. Lt. Moss thinks this is the best situation for us right now because we have a Termination Clause. In 1 conversations with Palm Springs, they are not ready to take us on. Council Member England wanted to ask if these charges are consistent with other cities? He was advised they were, he asked about Desert Hot Springs, they also have 2 field officers and use the 4 shelter in Thousand Palms just like us. Council Member England seemed very stressed with this contract and feels it doesn't work. Chief Conner spoke and since Palm Springs had a no kill shelter, they were inundated with animals. We were hoping we could get in with Palm Springs, but our new contract is what every other city has been paying now for two years. Due to the very long term contract we were able to stay at the former prices for an additional two years. 1 Mayor wanted to take a few minutes and make a presentation of a Proclamation to Chief J Building Official, Gilbert Estrada. This is Building Safety month and Mayor DeRosa i 3 presented the Proclamation to Mr. Estrada. 3 1 2. Receive and discuss 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 two -year operating budget. (T. Scott) (Under Separate Cover) s 1 Mr. Bradley, City Manager introduced the next item advising that what Council had in front of them is a draft of the Budget Working Document. He advised that 1. Tami Scott i will give overview, 2. Various Departments will make presentations, and 3. then we will 1 open up for comments. Mayor DeRosa felt that the UUT was projected too high? Also felt the projection on planning fees was too high. Council Member Toles was concerned that after the propose budget contained a number of changes the budget was still at 4.3 million 4 over where I budget needed to be There was lengthy discussion on the Council Budget, J they tried to set a minimum that the Council budget was to be cut. There were minimums of 20 %, some suggested it should be the same as the highest department budget cut, there I was no actual decision, it was suggested to give up Council Dinners, perhaps cut tech stipends, reduce Council pay. The Marketing budget was discussed, it was advised that they had met that day, Mayor DeRosa wanted to know if there money had been 4 redirected? Ms. Scott said there had been a suggestion that the city offer Wi -Fi in and around city hall. She felt it was could be a problem, and cost prohibitive and people can't s get on to our internal Wi -Fi, because of security reasons. Mayor said to take it out the $ proposal. The City Clerk's budget of $77,000 was questioned. The budget continues a s $50,000 cost figure for the November 2012 Election, which is in the new Fiscal Year There is a smaller sum in the next year's budget in case something has to go to ballot I after the regular election. The Police Chief explained their efforts in forming a JPA of the , cities of Cathedral City, Desert Hot Springs, and Beaumont. Cathedral City is the backbone of ERICA, and felt that a Regional Dispatch Center, probably located in Cathedral City, could become a reality in, perhaps, six months. There is a high probability J that Indio would want to join this center. This would be a regional effort to centralize 1 j s i 1 3:00 p.m.REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY COUNCIL SERVING... Dispatch services. In the review of the Fire Budget, Chief Soqui projected much longer response times, especially with a closed Fire Station. Mayor DeRosa doesn't want a closed Fire Station. She asked Chief Soqui if he couldn't sell the Tiller Fire Truck, and s Chief Soqui advised there was not a big business in used fire equipment. Mayor DeRosa felt it was not being used and when we ever needed one we could buy a new one. Chief Soqui said he felt we could not get very much for the use truck and it would cost even more to build a new one. Last time it was more than a million dollars and took quite a I long time to design, and then build the Truck. Mayor still thought it might be sold. A gentleman in the audience remarked that we shouldn't sell the truck, Fire Departments got credit for their equipment even if we stored it now, and still kept it for the future. Every Budget line was looked at, question were asked and answered. At the end of this discussion, the Mayor made it quite clear that the budget did not work for her, she is very unhappy, and would find it difficult to vote for it, if it were not changes substantially. 3.

Moreover, I thank you on behalf of the low income 1 and fixed income home owners in Cathedral City. Four months ago, there was no assistance 1 program and quite frankly, no options for those who needed to comply with the septic tank 1 abandonment ordinance. Now, because of this Council efforts, those home owners who have not { yet complied have been given a financial option in a form of a special needs agreement to stretch out the cost of the fees CVWD and DWA, allowing them to get their permits and begin the process of hooking up to the sewers. This five year plan will include further financial assistance for low income and fixed income homeowners, for grants for "sewer abandonment" funds, for those who qualify, is another fine achievement. It is in great pride in my City Council that I, and 1 many other Cathedral City residents, urge a unanimous yes vote to adopt this proposed five year plan. When we all work together there is nothing that we can't all accomplish. Thank you. Seeing no one else wishing to speak, Mayor DeRosa closed Public Comments. AGENDA FINALIZATION 1 At this time, the City Council may announce any items being pulled from the agenda or continued to another date. I Mayor DeRosa advised that we would be pulling Item 4 from Consent Calendar, to be 3 heard at a later date. There are no other changes. } I I l 3:00 p.m.REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY COUNCIL SERVING... URGENCY ITEMS 1 c Urgency Items ( "Added Starters "): The Brown Act, which governs public meetings, permits the City Council to take action on any item that does not appear on the agenda only if 2/3 of the Council (if all are present) or all members of the Council (if fewer than all members are present) determine there is a need to take immediate action on the item, and the need to take immediate action came to the City Council ?s attention after the agenda is posted. There are no Urgency Items. Council Members comments on items not on the agenda. COUNCIL COMMENTS Council Member Sam Toles - Today has been an interesting day. It reminds me of the great promise the city has as well as the great challengers that lay in front of us immediately. I have spent the majority of my day here, since about noon here in this building. The first 3 -4 hours looking at "going forward plans, talking about business development and how we can attract new businesses and all the assets that this great city has. They are many and sometimes we forget about them. WE are moving forward. And 1 the last 2.5 or 3 hours we have spent going thru our budget, line by line. Even with all of that we are coming up 4 million short. We will balance the budget. I will do my utmost trying to do what is right for the citizens and the employees. It will require sacrifice, even after all the proposed lay -offs and everything is factored in, we are still coming up four 4 million dollars short. So I urge my colleagues to think boldly, we will get thru this, we will balance the budget, and we will do it the right way, you have my utmost word that this process is something I am paying attention to, and trying as best as I can, and I know my colleagues are doing the same, to do what is right for the citizens, for our employees, 1 1 during these difficult times. We will get thru this, it will require sacrifice, and it will require leadership and boldness. Hopefully at the end of this, we will be on a path not only 4 to sustainability, but growth and a very bright future. Thank you. 1 I Council Member England - In lieu of the time I am going ahead and hold my comments. Mayor Derosa - Thank you again for being here this evening. I had an opportunity to I spend last week at the Fallen Peace Officers Memorial up in Sacramento. Chief Conner, along with a number of our Police Officers. I don't even know where to begin to explain to you the type of event it was, honoring the fallen officers who have died in duty, not only in 2011 but those who passed, and had not been recognized before, all the way back to the 1 1800's. It was two days of incredible ceremonies, and yet to see the comradely of the l I families, and our men and women in blue. Pretty amazing. These men and women put their lives on the line for us every single day. We own them a debt of gratitude. I had an opportunity yesterday to attend two events, one was the First Annual Creative Summit. When I chaired the Coachella Valley Economic Partnership, the Creative Economy 1 became one of the elements back then, we saw some significant opportunities and advantages to help cities and help the Coachella Valley increase business opportunities here. I don't have the statistics, I will get them from the presenters, but it is a staggering amount of money the creative economy can bring to the Coachella Valley. I think it is one . 1 I 3:00 p.m.REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY COUNCIL SERVING... i I we need to continue looking at, and certainly these young men and women are a testimony 3 C to the creative abilities out there. Yesterday I also had the opportunity to represent the 1 city, I chaired the Visitors and Convention Bureau, a Joint Powers Authority - yesterday was the unveiling of their new brand, their new image, again it was a great j opportunity to be part of the tourism community. I also attended the trade show travel 1 I trade show called "Pow -Wow" a couple of weeks ago. There were 6,000 attendees, i Mayors from across the Country were invited to be a part of it, to learn about the trade industry. And to see the competition quite frankly, that we in the Coachella Valley are I i fighting against, to bring tourists and tourism here. Tourism is our number one generator 1 for the Coachella Valley. Cathedral City certainly needs to be a part of that, and have an opportunity to secure some of those dollars. To see what is going on out there in the global economy just reinforced that we can't live in our four walls of Cathedral City, we 1 need to be part of the global economy and need to be a part of everything else that is going on. I have spoken before, and I will tell you again, I am passionate about regionalism, I have said it in the past, we need to begin looking at ourselves as an economy of 1/2 million people here in the Coachella Valley, not 10, 15, 20 thousand people in our community. We will always be nine cities, we will always be nine jurisdictions. We all have our own set of identity, who we are, and what we want to be, and what we want to do with our cities. If we really want to grow an economy here in the Coachella Valley, year round economy, a robust economy, to provide services to our employees, and to have things here for our students to do, places for people to work so they do not have to travel outside the valley,we need to start thinking more globally, and definitely start thinking more regionally. I have a passion for that, and I will continue to working on that for the betterment of 1 C Cathedral City in the end. d COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS ' I See last page of Agenda Book MINUTES Mayor advise there were several typographical errors that have been corrected, unless there are any other corrections, the minutes from City Council Meeting for April 25, 2012 stand approved as corrected. i CONSENT AGENDA All matters on the Consent Agenda are considered routine in nature and are expected to be enacted by one motion.

COUNCIL. Consider approval of Community Development B Grant (CBDC) Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan for submittal to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. (A. Hall) (Pg. 116 -140) a. Report was given by Andy Hall. I 1 Andy Hall advised that his end of the bargain was to present the report, but he had not done a stitch of work on it. He thanked Phenvana Panpradith for her efforts and proceeded. She did a lot of work for us to do or annual pland and put together the action plan. Mayor DeRosa said they had all gotten this report and have gone thru it, so before lets see if this Council has any other questions? Mr. Hall said he would go thur just a couple of 1 requirements first: This is a Public Hearing, this is just a proposal from staff. E would 1 G like to know if their are any other projects they might like to consider, ther City Council actually sets the action plan when they vote on it. Mayor asked Mr. Hall to explain what CDBG funds are so that the audience know what we are speaking of. Because of our population, we have reached a population of 50,000+ with the last census, so we can now be an entitlement city, which allows us to get funds directly from the Federal Government, rather than competing with other jurisdictions in Riverside County. It did increase our allotment slightly, this year we will get, roughly, $492000, We also have some carry over 1 funding from a previous grant that we have received from the Riverside County Program, 1 about $268,000. Then we must do an action plan. First action, what staff is proposing that we create a revolving loan fund for sewer connection for low and moderate income people I needing to install a sewer. Our allocation to Roy's Resource Center of $51,000 has been included to this years budget. If we were to use the entire 15% of the Social Program set - I aside, we could use up to $73,000 dollars. So roughly there could be some $22,000 for some other Social Programs, but esentially the expenditures in CDBG will be about I i $760,000. First we need to have a Public Hearing to make sure we receive any public 1 comments on programs and projects the Public would like to see. We also need to 1 authorize the agreement prepared between Cathedral City and Riverside County, the City 1 Attorney May sign that form on his review and the City Attorneys agreement that the form is correct according to their review and that will transfer the $268,000 that is left in 1 Riverside County to our Project. All this must be done prior to May 15, that is why it is on your agenda tonight. Mayor DeRosa had one question of Mr. Hall: for information for the I public, what this money cannot be used for: The Funds must be used to benefit low and moderate income persons in our community. Or targeted groups, so essentially Senior I C Citizens, persons with a disability. It cannot be used for staffing purposes. We are i i 1 1 3:00 p.m.REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY COUNCIL SERVING... allowed to use some of the money for administration costs of the program, that has been included in the annual action plan as well b.

(California Government Code Section 54954). Unless additional time is authorized by the City Council, remarks shall be y limited to three minutes. Jens Mueller - Cathedral City - There are a couple of things that I am not sure the Public is 1 aware of: We are considering firing 50 employees, it is going to be absolutely t devastating. I would suggest that City Council take the first bullet so to speak. Like I mentioned before, Sam I think you have kind of taken a lead in this, if I may say so, by not taking pay. I'm saying that Council shouldn't take pay, I think that is commendable of 1 t you that you don't take pay. And City Council makes about $790 a month plus Health Insurance. But looming cuts and an absolute devastation to the 40 or 50 employees we I have, I think Council should take the first bullet, and I think someone on Council, should direct staff to study no more pensions. No more pensions for City Council. I am not sure that citizens know that, after two terms, City Council collects a pension, and I don't know 1 how much it is. And full time health benefits. I think it would be admirable, it would be a 1 ' leadership thing to do, to say to those being fired, we will take the first bullet, an we will 1 renounce our pensions. I had one more thing to say and I should always have notes with 1 me. Well we will just leave it at that. Thank you. 1 1 Tom Swann - Rancho Mirage - Veterans for Peace are here this evening. Almost eleven 1 years ago we dedicated America's first and only Gay Veterans Memorial here in Cathedral City in Desert Memorial Park. This Council supported that I am happy tonight to present each one of you, and the City Clerk, a Challenge Coin of the Memorial. Please give one to Council Member Vasquez also. They are challenge coins that we are selling, each one costs $10. It is a fundraiser for the Veterans for Peace and has Cathedral City on the Coin. If anyone wants to buy one they can contact me. Thank you for your 1 i 1 1 i 3:00 p.m.REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY COUNCIL SERVING... 1 support. Ruth Kwake - Cathedral City. Ms. Kwake teaches at Cathedral City High School, and she is here tonight to introduce, an incredible group of students, the Seniors, and others from I Cathedral City High Shool Health Academy. I am thrilled and proud of these amazing i students, young people from Cathedral City and what they are doing. I Zaida Espericveta - Cathedral City. I am a Senior at Cathedral City High School and I am E part of the Health Academy there and a member of HESA, Health Education Students if America. This is an organization that allows students from different schools, different cities to compete in Health related events. This was my first year attending the I State Leadership Conference. For my teammates it was was their 2nd or 3rd year. We competed in the Public Service announcements, for this event we had to make a 30 second video on a topic they gave us. This year it was about "Cleaning out your medicine cabinet. I My team decided on making a video that showed the "right" way and the "wrong" way to clean out the medicine cabinet. The we went out to the community to present the 1 video. Some of the places were the Coachella Valley Economic Partnership meeting, a 1 middle school, and our own high school. My team and I competed with 11 other schools 1 from California and we ended up placing First Place. Now we have the chance to go to 1 Florida to the Nationals in June, which we are very excited about because we have been � 1 given the opportunity to experience new things and meet new people from other states, we 1 r are also going to be representing our high school and our community. There are other groups that would like to share their experiences with you. 1 C Lizette Gonzales - I am also a Senior from Cathedral City High School. My team competed in Health Education which was a team that created a portfolio and taught a class to anyone you wanted to, about any topic related to the Health Field. We decided to teach a class on self - esteem because today this is a subject effecting our communities, and 1 everywhere. We decided to teach the 5th graders because they are going to transition to middle school, and that is where they start to discover who they are, and we hear about 1 1 suicide and anexoria, etc. We also taught another class of seventh and eight graders combined. We gave out charm braclets that showed in red esteeme and confidence and a 1 charm that said life, to teach them that life is precious. Out of the nineteen groups that competed we placed second in the State of California. If you would like to see a portfolio I have one I can show you Vanessa Medero - Cathedral City. My team competed in community (unclear on recording), Our topic was Emergency Preparedness, we went out into the community and i taught how to be prepared for any emergency, focused on earth quakes due to fact that we are located right above San Andreas Fault. We targeted mostly teenagers, because we felt like they were the ones mostly unprepared. We wanted to help them when adults were in a sense of a panic and we wanted them to know what they were to do to assist them. We sold first aid kits, we taught them basic first aid tips, and we presented to the Nellie 4 Coffman students and we put the note at our community health fair. We presented to the HEAL Juniors and Freshman. This is my second year going to the State Leadership Academy Conference, and it was an amazing accomplishment knowing that our team placed second place, it was incredible, but not ass much as going to Nationals this year in Florida. We all know that everything cost money we are really here to ask you if you can C I t I 1 3:00 p.m.REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY COUNCIL SERVING... C help us in any way possible to get there. We want to make a tremendous impact and make 1 I you guys something to be proud of, even prouder of our high school by placing at 1 Nationals. Mayor DeRosa interjected that this was not just a plea of the City Council, but to everyone, and you heard of the Elks Lodge who was just here, so someone contact the Elks Lodge, Council Member echoed the Mayors comments by saying "Yes all of you" in reference to contacting the Elks Lodge. 1 Following the three student presentation the Mayor asked the remainder of the group (twelve students) to step to the podium and give their name, year in school, and what they planned to be when they finished school. You may listen to this on www.cathedralcity.gov Agendas and Minutes. Daniell Soto - Diamond Bar. I represent the South Coast Air Quality Management District, your air quality regulation agency.

I know that for Council we mean nothing and we don't get noticed. We are the Blue Collar citizens of this Country. And I know if we don't pick up trash, clean up the streets, remove grafetti, maintain road signs, parks, and all that we maintain, you will notice us. The City Manager is proposing to eliminate seven groundsworkers, in order to balance the budget. As you can see, each and everyone of those is important. Keeping Cathedral City a hazard free Cathedral City. Mayor DeRosa responded to Rudolfo, don't think for a moment that we don't notice, i Jose Leon - Cathedral City. I am always proud to be a city employee. It is me back again I to beg you, we need jobs. We have family waiting at home. Every time 1 go home after I work my son askes me, "please dad tell me yes, you are still working for the city right?" So I fell kinda guilty. In the past we were already in this problem, you know? We gave up ' four (can't hear the word on the recording) before and paid 3.5 percent into , . retirement. The for the retirement we could help the City again, but we need the jobs. We I need to sleep well, help us out please. 1 Dan Foster - Cathedral City - Also an employee of Police Department for over 10 years. I I have a wife and four year old twins. I am also a California Justice Certified Crime I Intelligence Analyst. International Association of Law Enforcement Intelligence Analyst, 1 Certified. Things I provide for the community and the Police Dept, 1 want bring out to i you I provide statistics to Administration of the Police Dept to help them make Policy 1 c [ : : , r ! i i i I 1 3:00 p.m.REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY COUNCIL SERVING... decisions. For example the Alarm Policy we had, I did an Alarm report, it took three months to complete, cost comparison analysis, would it be cheaper to get rid of our Police Dept. and go to the Sheriff Dept, you have seen the figures, it is cheaper to have our own. Pursuit report, that was something that was asked of me as well. I also attend briefings to I ¢ keep officers up to date so they know what is going on between the shifts. I research crime reports every day, looking for trends, series, and patterns. So the officers know F exactly where to focus their attention and know where to be. I produce a weekly crime I analysis report averaging about 20 pages every Thursday. Also let the officers know who l is getting out on parole so they know who they are going to be dealing with on the streets. Let the officers know who has warrants, always nice to know, a little heads up ahead of time. I also produce a daily "hot sheet ", a list of stolen vehicles out there every day. I also keep in contact with all the surrounding agencies Crime Analysts. There crooks are our 1 crooks. Also as you may know, I played a major role in the gang injunction in the Dream Homes. Since that gang injunction has been in place, gang activities in the Dream Homes i f is down by 81 %. I developed the Police Department web -site. I have assisted Detectives on numerous places and I teach at International Crime Analysis Conferences. Those are g all things that you are going to loose when I walk out the door. Along with 10 years of 1 experience which is right here (pointing to his head). When I get laid off, I don't know what you will do with a lot of my statistical reports that you guys use to make a lot of i decisions. Also, I plan on short selling my house, I will leave Cathedral City because there is no work out here in the valley in my position and I try and support a family of four on unemployment. I wanted to finish by saying thank you and I hope that the AFSCME city i employees, who have in all these years, have helped with the budget, that you guys take a hard look at what you are doing. It is not only going to impact me as an employee, it is i going to impact the community safety, The family safety in this community, and also the Police Department. t z Karen Hogan - Cathedral City - Four years ago I moved to Cathedral City from Los i i Angeles to accept the position as Administrative Assistant in the Police Department. I was 4 eager to become an active member of the Cathedral City Organization and local community. Now my position is on the list to be cut from the budget. At the Council meeting on March 28th I expressed my concerns to you on how these budget cuts will alter j my life and the domino effect of cutting of my position on the businesses I frequent as a 1 resident of Cathedral City. At this meeting I want to outline how my job responsibilities contribute to the day to day successful operations of the Cathedral City Police Dept. On 1 what the elimination of my position would mean. During 2011 I helped to file over 1,000 cases with the District Attorney's offices. These packages include reports from officers, documentation, photos, blood alcohol and drug reports from the Department of Justice, as I well as adult disposition and arrest court action forms and a District Attorney Complaint form required by the County and the State. Many of these cases are called "Last Dayers" i or "In Custody" which means the suspect is already in custody, and charges must be filed with the DA within 24 hours or the suspect will be released. Each case is reviewed by the 1 Administrative Assistant to ensure that all the paper work from the officers is in the jacket and accurate. Kick -backs of these cases by the DA are frequently returned for additional information. Many of thee cases are resubmitted several times before the DA is comfortable with filing charges and the likelihood of conviction. We complete the follow - up on these cases. After the case has been filed, supernova are sent to the Administrative , Assistant via email. We forward them on to the Officers. We also submit 1050's if the C i 1 n i 1 , 4 I . 300 p.m.REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY COUNCIL SERVING... I : officer is unable to the court session, and the DA can be informed of the officers status. In 1 I 1 1 2011 approximately 1,649 supernova were received, routed, tracked and reported to the Police Department Supervision. In addition we have extensive contact with the general I public and we are required to respond on inquiries on various law enforcement issues. Many times we are the first contact citizens or victims of a crime have with the Police 1 Department. Our skillful handling of their concerns and information translates to effective follow-up by our officers. The elimination of these positions mean much of this work will . not be done at all. Or at the very least not done with the same attention and detail that we 1 I provide for our officers so they can focus on patrolling the streets of Cathedral City. Thank you for your attention and time. 1 I Oscar Rodas - Cathedral City - I am proud to be a resident and an employee of Cathedral City.

How can you have better wages and benefits Nana Rodas - I am one of the biggest supporters of Cathedral City. but my question is how I , do we raise revenues. , : , Close Public Comments , , Zaida Espericueta - Cathedral City. I am a student at Cathedral City High School and I am 1 part of the Health Academy there. 1 Mayor DeRosa asked if there was anyone else who wished to speak who had not already ; spoken this evening. She said that the final chapter has not been written. We believe there I will be lay-offs, but the final chapter has not been written, we continue to look ways to see I i what can be done, and we will do that till the end. Every employee is important, in every 1 i c 1 t , 1 1 t 1 i i i [ 3:00 p.m.REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY COUNCIL SERVING... E thing you do, is noticed. So don't ever let me hear you say you don't think you are noticed. Because you are important, and you add great value. I have been over to Public Works many times, I know many of you by first name, as other Council Members do. So do not ever think that your are not noticed or important, and that what you do is not important, because you have great value. Who you are as a person and what you do for the city. r l ; 6 Mayor DeRosa asked Mr. Meuller if he had something important to add? r a Jens Mueller - Cathedral City. Thank you for your indulgence Mayor, well there is actually something we can do, and Chief, I can't believe we forgot it. I spoke with the Sheriff - Riverside County, if we could get a report of how much it would cost for getting these sworn officer, because I contend that we could save 8.8 million dollars. Some contend that there would be no savings and in fact, it would cost us more. I don't know, but the report is free, we can call in Cal -Fire to give the report, how much would it cost for 36 Firefighters and how much would it cost from the Riverside Sheriffs Departments to give us 53 sworn Officers. Palm Desert has sheriffs as does Rancho Mirage, if it is good enough for the vintage, I think it is good enough for us, anyway, the point is we could ask for a free report. Make it public, this is what it would cost, then we could put the debate to rest. Thank you Mayor. ' Mayor DeRosa again asked if there were anyone else who wished to speak on the Agenda please come forward. coe Stan Henry - Cathedral City. I disagree. We have been there and done that. The citizens of Cathedral City voted to have their own Police Department. Voted to have their own Fire Department. How can you have higher wages, better benefits, and be cheaper? It can't be done. Mayor DeRosa, any one else? Nana Rodas - Cathedral City. I am one of the biggest supporters of my city. I love Cathedral City. I am also the wife of a employee, whose city job is in danger of being cut. My question is how are we going to give 100% to Cathedral City, to raise revenues, if we do not have the business to cater to our special needs. We do not have businesses to compete with our neighboring cities, such as Department Stores like they have in Town Center in Palm Desert? Office Supplies like Staples, home improvement like Home Depot? Give us something so we won't cross the Border, so to speak. In order to spend, we need to meet the needs of this beautiful city. Thank you. Mayor DeRosa, seeing no one else wishing to speak, close Public Comments.

I actually do take a paycheck from the City of Cathedral City,I do donate 100% of that to local charities, and will be happy to help out with the kids trip, and to the Veterans c Memorial as well. I am fortunate to be in that position, I am fortunate I don't need to take the City Health Care benefits, because I do have a full time job that can offer benefits. But I do also think that, I look to someone like Pat Hammers who was honored tonight, and Pat also makes as an elected the same level of compensation that the Council does, if we had to hire a City Clerk to do that role, it would cost in the 6 figures, because that is what City Clerks get. I think based on need, I think we all have responsibility to do everything it I can, and if we can afford to, make those personal sacrifices and that way I can agree, but i also being in Public should not only be for the privileged, but it should also should be for I everybody. I want to talk a little about, we have had three community meetings now, , talking about this budget process. I have heard a few comments and I want to state a few I f i things for the record. Some of this will be shared by my colleagues and some which may not be. The first and most important thing, we have tried, and the citizens in this community, have stepped up to the place twice, to balance our budget. And every time the community has stepped up, the state has taken more. And that is just not Cathedral City. When you have our largest city the city of Los Angles threatening bankruptcy, you know that we are not just crying foul here as a single community that is dealing here with these troubles. Los Angles is a community of multiple millions of people, and they can't balance their budget, because of what the state has done. So this is not a situation that is , unique to us, to this council, and everybody needs to know that. The other thing people i . have said to me as a result of the meetings or that this is just a ploy to put another tax 1 , initiative on the ballot. I would like to dispel that myth, we have been told, under no 5 1 , uncertain terms by the residents of our community, through the surveys that we have done $ in recent months, that a tax initiative is not something that the citizens would like to see. r f They do wish to see a balanced budget. At the end of this process we will have a balanced I budget. The pain that comes from a balanced budget is what you are witnessing, what the Co i I t , , ; , , , i i 3:00 p.m.REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY COUNCIL SERVING... 1 1 employees are talking about. I as someone works in the private sector, in business development for a half of a billion dollar corporation, do understand the budget process. You have my personal assurance that I will go line by line through the budget, and I have been told by Tami Scott it is (motioned with fingers about 3 inches) this thick with a lot of reading ahead of me, and I will explore every, every g p ry, and I mean eve alternative. If there cheaper ways to do things, if there is a way to save jobs, and keep our Police t F Officers on the street, I will make sure that if my vote counts, that we look at that option. I will make sure that all options are explored. If you hear a yes vote from me on a budget, it means that that is a budget that I believe that we looked at everything and it is the right thing to do. I want to leave you with, the role of a Councilman and as an elected official is to represent the community. It is that all of us want to see the best possible service. One of the things is to speak to the groundskeeper has said earlier, is one of the things that people value the most in this community. It is clean streets and beautified roads. And a graffiti abatement, those are things that are very, very valuable to the citizens. We have I i heard that time and time again. You are very important and we do understand that. A very wise former City Manager of a town, which I will not name, who I take great Council from, told me that he went through this process several years ago and it was painful. The City balanced its budget, they ripped off the band aid, but after they did it, what they found was that the city began to grow again. They were able to get themselves out of the hole, and start a new day. I witnesses when my home town of Buffalo, New York, went through the Bankruptcy process. There are more new businesses and more new buildings and the city is in a Renaissance today, it needed to have this painful moment so that it could grow 1 1 again. I rd e this ere comty di, whatever So the look result forwa that each to th of us future that sit of h, has th own as being conscience extraor that nary they and have to deal with, and my conscience will not allow me to vote for a budget that isn't what I think is the best thing that I can do for this community. Council Member England - Without repeating everything that Sam just said, I echo all of his comments. Maybe we both know that retired ex City Manager, we probably do. I wanted to thank all of the community who showed up for those three community meetings. I can tell you that this community is very passionate about the community. They come from different positions and points, and it is so challenging to balance those f 1 various points out. AS a City Council Member, that is what we do. Some of us are a little more successful than others in weighing those things out. We are as passionate as you are about making this community as the community that you all want to live in, we all want to support, that we are all excited about. I am not going to regurgitate the problems that have rolled down from our Federal Government, down to our State Government, and then down to us. We are tasked to, in providing services to a community, and that is what our overwhelming desire is. To have a community that functions properly. As a City Council Member I can, I've been here for almost twelve years and I am very thankful for the opportunity to serve this community at this point in time. I can tell you that you are going to hear sound bites from people saying that we need to go to the Riverside County Sheriffs, or we need to go to CalFire. Or we need to do this or we need to do that to save a dollar. Unfortunately the other side of the coin is, is that yes we can, we will get less for what we already have, we had an earlier speaker that says it just doesn't make sense, and I want you to understand that, Riverside County Sheriff is a higher salary rate, better benefit package, than what we currently offer. It has been known forever, that is just the way that it is. I say more power to them. However, we in our Police Dept. have professionals, that Clo i } I i I 1 -F q k t 3:00 p.m.REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY COUNCIL SERVING... i CI provide a service to our community and we are Nationally known that we have the lowest crime rate in the Valley. Nobody else shares that. They provide these services to this valley that is at a cost that is less than what it costs from Riverside County. I for one am not willing to spend more to get less. And to have the same type of crime rate that we have in other jurisdictions. I think it is important to acknowledge that and to drill that home, that we have the best Police Dept. and the best Fire Dept., we have people that in good faith, are willing to negotiate with us to make our budget work. That is the process that we are going through at this time. We all want to work together, we all want to make 1 this thing work and I am very thankful for everybody stepping up to the plate, and to agree that this is what it is going to take, we all want to to work. I wanted to say thank you for I the different groups who are out there who are working with us. I wanted to say thank you 1 for all of the citizens who have come forward at those meetings, who have pulled me in off the street, asking what about this or what about that? We are exploring everything. As Sam has said, I know for sure that the other three Council Members, we will go through the budget like we have never gone through the budget before. We will make cuts, we will I probably make cuts in our budget too, but no stone will be left unturned, that we make the tightest budget, that if we can save one or two dollars, that is what we are going to do. That is what our commitment is to this community and to the employees of this community. Thank you. Mayor DeRosa - speaking of our students, I had the opportunity with Councilman England 1 s on Saturday to recognize three Cathedral City High School student who were the recipiets of the Earth through the Lens awards, which is a National Organization, they were recognized for the photographs that they submitted. Also I want to thank the Public Arts Commission for the great presentation they did on Saturday also, for the Agnes event here in Council Chambers, and the work she has done here in Cathedral City. Tomorrow the Boys & Girls Club will be hosting a lunch over at Leons, it is a fund raiser for the Boys & Girls Club, as you heard, this is another Organization that we are having a tough time figuring how to fund or if we can fund, helping them raise money is always important. I t } want to thank the City Attorney for sponsoring Team Cathedral City in the CalState event, which the money goes to Scholarships for young men and women. Team Cathedral City brought home the Cathedral City Trophy, took third place overall and placed first in the City Team, so our name will be on the big cup and thanks to Charlie Green. I spent Monday and Tuesday in L.A. at what is called POW -WOW, it is a Travel /Trade Show through the Convention and Visitors Authority: My expenses were picked up by CVA as the Chair of the Convention and Visitors Authority. It was a wonderful E opportunity to meet people in the Travel Industry from all over the world who I could tell them about Cathedral City and the Coachella Valley and try to bring them here. One of the things I was looking for Council to support is having staff look at mechanism to help 3 our Hotels through the increment TOT to refresh their hotels to bring in money, it would not take any money out of the General Fund, if anything it would be an opportunity to increase funds into the city. If Council has no objection I would like to have staff look at what that mechanisn would look like and bring back something to us to consider in an opportunity to help our hotels. It would look like having staff pull some stuff from Palm ` Springs and other cities that do this and come back to us. Usually it is incremental TOT, so it would be a base line. TOT stays where it is today and over that we have a cost split, we get some and some would rebate back to the Hotels. Last item - I attended the CVAG Homeless Committee Meeting, there is a taskforce that has been put together to look at s E ' t t ■ 3:00 p.m.REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY COUNCIL SERVING... how much money will it take to fund Roy's Resource Center. Cities have been asked for a $103,000 per year, Cathedral City does not have $103,000. We have never given them a $103,000 because we can't afford it. It cost Martha village to operate $17.00 a bed, it cost Coachella Valley Rescue Mission $13.50 a bed and it costs at Roys is $51.00 a bed. They have been asked to find out what the differences are and then the opportunity to spin off Roy's as a free standing, non- profit organization, as Martha's Village and the Coachella Valley Rescue Mission are. And get the cities out from under this potential obligation. Council Member Pettis said it was mentioned that Mayor Pro Tem Vasquez wasn't feeling well. It is important that staff is here, he was in an automobile accident a few days ago, very serious one, but he was here for Closed Session today, and it was a 3.5 hour session, mostly on personnel issues, and how we are dealing with the budget cuts, and he did leave home to come here for that meeting. But then he did need to go back home and get some rest. I did want you to know he spent the time earlier.

COUNCIL REPORTS ON CITIZEN INQUIRIES AND CONCERNS Council Member Toles has one item, the residents of the La Pasada neighborhood requested of me a "no dumping" sign at the dead end of Da Vall, apparently their is a significant amount of dumping that goes on there. If staff could look into this? Mayor DeRosa had one other thing that should have been brought up under Council Comments, that is as long as we are going to look at the TOT, I would like to look at a rental ordinance. I was informed by the CVA that there has been a drop in TOT at the hotels at 1 the Coachella Fest and StageCoach festivals because more and more people are renting homes and condos, and I don't believe that we charge TOT on that. Many cities have found this to be an increased revenue stream. to the point that they paid the consultant a 1 considerable amount of money, so if they are paying the consultant a considerable amount of money, I figure they have to be making twice that much. City of Rancho Mirage has 1 this rental ordinance, and I would love to have the opportunity to take a look at that and see if Cathedral City might also take advantage of that and give us additional revenue because we don't charge people who rent homes for week-ends.
