Mayor advised that he needed to wait for her report to see why he had not yet received a letter. 1 1 STUDY SESSION AGENDA Normally, no action is taken on Study Session items; however, the City Council reserves I the right to give specific policy direction and take specific action as necessary. Presentations will be limited to 10 minutes unless other provisions are made i in advance. A. CITY COUNCIL: i 1. Receive report regarding recent community survey. (A. Howe) (Pg. 1 -5) Allen Howe gave the report of the survey results. The survey was conducted between Feb 11 and Feb 13 and contact four Hundred citizens. This results in a statistical accuracy of 96 %. The survey tested a number of features but also tested the receptiveness of the community to revenue increases. An increase in the UUT was tested and a parcel based increase were tested. What it found was that 6 of 10 respondents knew of the State Government has taken millions of dollars of funding from Cathedral City, including 1 Economic Development Dollars. 7 in 10 respondents responded there is a need for additional funds to provide a level of services to provide to Cathedral City Residents. I Approximately 2/3 or more, are strongly concerned about cuts to Public Safety. The public is not ready at this time for a revenue measure. When the survey was conducted, the surveyor, right off the bat would ask people their support for a revenue type measure. Then the respondents received information about the budget situation, about why the revenues were needed. Approximately 2/3 were struggling with cuts to public safety services. However, despite that, four other kinds of budget remedies where brought forward, and none of them were enough to be viable. The public was not ready at this time for an additional revenue measure. The public was asked at the beginning of their support of a revenue measure, then respondents received information about the budget situation, why the revenues were needed and what they would go for. The Revenue measure is tested again, to see how that influenced them and how they responded. The third step is to I C O provide them with negative information, even with that, there was a feeling that we needed to balance our budget and live within our existing means. The survey tested a 7% and a t t r t I I I 3:00 p.m. SPECIAL MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY COUNCIL SERVING ... 1 5% utility tax increase. There was no interest in a Utility measure. This is the time to reach out to our public about our financial situation and how we can get their input and resolve this issue. I would imagine that in April we will be having some Community Outreach forums, or some workshops, in some format. I think what we can do from now to then is to begin to put information on our web -site that addresses the problem. We have developed community lists so that we can provide information out there, I know that Finance Staff is working on Clear straightforward information that can get out and forward of this problem. The begin to move to Public Workshops, Public Forums during the April time frame. The issue is that the Public is aware of our needs and we just need to let them get a stronger understanding of what the situation really is. Council Member England - read the report and agree with Lew Edwards on how to do the outreach.. Good time to talk about the budget and upwards of 7 Million dollars. Thankful we are going to ask the community to be involved. Council Member Toles - survey asked specific questions - Public Safety is now over 80% of the budget. While the people understand that the State has taken the money away, while they would like to see more support and wants to maintain the Public Safety, correct me if I am wrong, the strong impression I am receiving, is they feel it paramount or of most importance most, regardless of the number of Public Safety employees that would have to be laid off in order to balance the budget, while they had high concerns did not motivate them, as a community, they are telling us as a council, that we must balance our budget without additional revenues and I think that at least myself and I am sure of my fellow Council Members received this information loud and clear, and the the task at had is going to be How do we do that? There is another important component, which is input from 1 Applied Story Telling, In addition to cuts we must make sure that the business community and the community at large understand, we are in business for business. Despite the Challenges we must go forward, must engage, and continue our business development because it is not just a matter of cuts, it is the matter of working with the business community to grow, and get revenues without additional tax measures. Mr. Howe } responded, that the respondents thought the city should be doing more to attract businesses, and we should move ahead in our economic development. If you only message is cuts, that is a difficult thing to do, attacking more businesses here in the city. i We need to balance our message, this is reality of things we have to do. At the same time we are trying to move forward and attack businesses. Mayor DeRosa - I appreciate the opportunity to hear the voices from the people, input from the public, and the opportunity to share making these decisions. Mayor DeRosa added a few more comments. I appreciate the opportunity to hear from the public, for often they feel we are not transparent enough. I also believe we need to have a shared vision with the Public, they need to be part of - this is there community, this is their building, this is their city, the government is the people that make up it up, to have their voices hear at the beginning is very important, while it will be the five of us who will make the ultimate decision, having their input on what they want. The Primary purpose for the public outreach is to communicate to the public what the urgency is, and to hear back from them as to what their need are, and bring us all together. I see that you have put in here a couple of different locations that you would like to recommend. My concern 3:00 p.m. SPECIAL MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY COUNCIL SERVING ... 1 with the two particular locations is that they are neighborhood specific rather than globally specific. I don't want to get into neighborhood issues, this is a global community situations. Rather to see us do James Workman, the Library or high school, something more centralized. While we have done Cathedral City Elementary, turnout there has not been good in part experiences. Allen is recommending the Aqua Calliente School and the Cathedral City Elementary School, due to the large Hispanic community. My recommendation would be St. Louis Church with it being more centralized and having a very large Hispanic community. I recommend two public workshops and then a workshop for the results. Mr. England wants to have three area meetings. Mayor DeRosa wants to be more universal than site specific. The City Manager interjected that what they were proposing to you, would to bring forward a proposal of what the various cuts would look like. That package would address all the different issues that we need to be taking into account. We understand the discussion we had earlier about freezing on promotions or anything else, we would certainly honor that. We would like to discuss that and many other things with you but feel the next Council Meeting is the time to do that. We need to empathize that when we talk about something in the order of 7 million dollars of cuts, that is a very, very significant and drastic cut that would have to be maid, at the same time we are trying to figure out to keep all the balls in the air, for reaching Council Goals, trying to be a business friendly as possible, trying to have a "welcome" mat out for the business community so that in particular not only cut our way out of this, but grow our way out. Also how do we function internally with reduced limited resources that we have so we can provide the most effective services to the community with the resources that we have. I think it is fair to say, that whatever we are doing today and whatever your expectations are, you and the community, we will not be able to meet them if we do go forward and make these cuts. There is going to have to be a "reduced appetite" for things to be done, while at the same time we try to figure out how to move the community forward in a positive way with the resources that we have. We will try and bring this forward to you at the next meeting, and address this in many different ways so that we will have an idea, a sense of direction. This will not be a final budget proposal, it will be an idea of how we will address this. That will lead to the public process that you are talking about now. To including of the public participation. If all things do not come together as we may like, the next year may put us in a deficit situation, having used all reserves. Council Member Toles asked, if after this item, I would ask for ermission to leave, and be p , with my family. Council Member England moved to move forward with public Participation meetings, motion seconded by Council Member Pettis, motion carried with no objections. 2. Receive report on the current activities and accomplishments of the Coachella Valley Economic Partnership and the Coachella Valley iHub and discussion about financial support of the iHub program. (A. Hall) (Pg. 6 -8) F Andy Hall gave a comprehensive report on this item (Which you may watch the entire (.0 discussion on the Internet at WWW.Cathedralcitv.gov). After a long and detailed discussion, and due to the situation that this item is on the Consent Agenda tonight, it was 1 3:00 p.m. SPECIAL MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY COUNCIL SERVING ... determined that the item be pulled from the Consent Calendar and be deferred to a future Agenda, for further discussion, asking that the leaders of CV iHub President Tom Flavin, and Joe Wallace, Managing of iHub, be available for an update on this subject. 3. Discussion of potential amendments to Special Use Permit process. (A. Hall) (Pg. 9 -20) The Report was given by Andy Hall. Special Use Permits are a little like the pendulum on a clock, we get into a mode where we are regulating them, then we decide that we are over - regulating them, then we go back the other way. What we are trying to do is see if there is some way to see if they can get a more predictable and efficient process of reviewing and approving Special Use Permits. Mr. Hall followed with a long and comprehensive report of Special Use Permits on Public Property, and on Private Property. You may read the report and watch the report on line at www.cathedralcitv.gov . Mayor DeRosa advised that Mr. Hall had hit on a number of things, and one of the things she doesn't see is a fee schedule, so she doesn't know what that looks like. This is a long time coming, we needed to update it, which is great. You spoke about a conflict in the writing here of 14 days vs. 60 days, you went on to explain it a little bit, you don't quantify what advance planning is, so what is enough? Are there any exceptions? How hard and fast are these time lines, because right now we have a time line, these are things that just have come up, you talk about private security companies, will there be a list of them, or will it be anybody that they choose, to whom are they acceptable? Who sets the standard, I would rather see us either provide a list of 1/2 dozen, or a dozen, where our police department authorized companies that they can work with, or they just have to use Cathedral City police. It is too ambiguous. The deposit will be returned makes perfect sense, but there again, who will determine whether the property is put back in condition that we expect it? There are a lot of ambiguities in here, I guess is my concern, between the different time lines and these others. Fees to be determined by Resolution of City Council. Is this a case by case basis, is this just going to be a fee schedule attached? Mr. Hall responded that they would go thru each of the nine usages that have been allowed on private property, then we would seek an amendment of the actual fee schedule. The reduced fee schedule for ongoing events. If Organization A continues to do events and does them well, I get a reduced fee schedule, but if Organization A has somebody come in who is organizing it, you are not working with the same body of people so you don't know what the organization is going to be doing, that statement seems to not offer any criteria, if there is a new director or staff, or if there are new people, you may have them dealing with things in a new way. I look forward to this coming back, I look forward for a fee schedule, some additional information. Mr. Hall said that this all effects the Police, Fire, and Lynn with her work as the events coordinator, he had not yet asked for any input from these three groups. Lynn Mallotto advised that with regard to your time line, many instances if it is a large event, that may involve ABC, State Board of Equalization, or the County Health Department which enforces the State Health Code, they are requesting 30 days, because they to have had significant reductions in staffing, and have little time to process. That is the reason for the 60 days. We can generally work within 30 days but we really are pumping it out. And we need to be able to submit not only enough notice to those agencies, but request our Special Use Permit to review the documentation, so it has to be a complete permit. Mayor responded that she did not care what the time line was, my concern is, if we set a time line, will we live withing it? There are always exceptions to �r the rule. Lt. Moss do you have anything you wanted to ad? Lt. Moss responded that it had 1 3:00 p.m. SPECIAL MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY COUNCIL SERVING ... Co been covered and that this was a Study Session and we could talk about it with Andy as we do our due process. Council Member Vasquez said as far as the security goes, I don't think it is appropriate to list preferred security companies, I don't feel this is our business to list business this way, second, we have reoccurring events that there are two at Town Square and one at Patriot Park. Those events don't use either a recognized security company, or our city police department. They have all successfully used volunteer security. Council Member Pettis advised that a couple comments and again for the audience. Mayor Pro Tem Vasquez and I have been a sub - committee working on this issue with staff. And I think what staff has come up with is a huge improvement over what we have had. But keep the over reaching goal of this is to cut the regulations. We have over regulated our special events here so that the public and community organizations here choose not to have events in Cathedral City because as it is just too difficult. Two of the three events that we have are produced by church groups who have large bases of volunteers, and the other is put on by Rotary, that again, can pull large numbers of volunteers from around the valley to do the events. Our smaller groups just can't do it. Then we are charging them $600 for the privilege of finding out they can't do it. We need to encourage, especially when we are beginning to cut back on our donations to groups so that the boxing club can have events when they want them, the Boys & Girls club can have events outside of their own four walls, and encourage that. Our Town Square needs to be open to these events. In the goal of cutting back on regulations, we have to give that leeway to the City Manager, so that he can make some of those determinations so he has some leeway, and not have so much in black and white so there is no wiggle room for staff to make these judgment calls. Things will come up and Co something will happen like it is 31 days or 29 days and "you didn't make it" when we all know that we could probably make the thing happen. We need to empower some of the staff to do these things. We have been doing the Rotary event six years, and we are still charging Rotary $600 even though that the staff just now knows everything that has to go on. Is that a good use of money, or should they be able to buy more flags with that? With regard to the security, you can probably say, if the Police Department finds a need for private security, that it should be a license security company. We should try not to straight-jacket ourselves when making these regulations. I am really glad to have 2 weeks or even a month to go thru this with a fine tooth comb to make sure that we have done the kinds of things, that when we put this in place, it is something we can all live with. 4. City Council /Staff reports and inquiries of new or ongoing projects. One is, Bill are you or Andy going to give an update on Ramon road? Andy Hall returned to the podium to give the update, advising that we were one step closer to getting Ramon Road constructed. It has left the state and has moved up to Federal High -ways, Federal High -ways does want us to make one more modification top our plans before we go out to RFP's and that is that, in the past you could include the local pouring of the water valves, finish the rest of the project, and bring the valves up to the surface and then put on the concrete collars and finish the surface. Current Federal Regulations do not allow that, and so we have to inform the, in this project, the Coachella Water Project that will be their responsibility and we are in the process of doing that, but we are moving forward, and usually is faster than the CalTrans. Mayor DeRosa had one more queswtion about the ICSC materials, asking if we are 1 3:00 p.m. SPECIAL MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY COUNCIL SERVING ... updating those items? Mr. Hall responded that both Lisa and Allen were working on that. RECESS Mayor DeRosa hearing no one else wishing to speak, recessed the Study Session portion of the meeting at 6:46 p.m. and advised that we would go immediately to the Evening portion of the Meeting immediately.
