[31:32] fitness studios here and they don't need to travel outside, but also people that are very involved in our community and our parents themselves and can teach classes and languages and maybe someone will Quality of fitness that they haven'

[31:42] Quality of fitness that they haven't experienced before.

[31:43] but we want this to be free and community friendly and it'

[31:46] but we want this to be free and community friendly and it'll be just a little bit of a taste it'

[31:47] just a little bit of a taste it'll be 20 minute classes, so it'

[31:48] a taste it'll be 20 minute classes, so it'll be a round robin type and you.

[31:56] um, and refreshments will be provided by the big juice bar from Cathedral City and Starbucks is donating all trees for snacks um.

[32:06] budget is looking like Adam let us know that even though we are plug and play, we do still have to hire a DJ.

[32:11] of music and have sound at the event, so reading that cost budget.

[32:17] We are budgeting about 50 0 of that and each instructor will get 70.

[32:21] for very low cost event.

[32:22] family friendly the day we'

[32:25] family friendly the day we've settled on that, uh, the amphitheater is open.

[32:28] is the 14th of March.

[32:30] It

[32:30] is the 14th of March. It'll be 9 to 11:30 in the amphitheater.

[32:33] and it will be a fun fall family day um, and the best part is with the reason we'

[32:37] the best part is with the reason we're doing it at the amphitheater is one because of sound, but also if your littles don'

[32:40] because of sound, but also if your littles don't wanna pay attention even minutes.

[32:41] to whatever fitness class out.

[32:47] is.

[32:47] Anything else that you would like to, I think you covered most of it just in our conversation with Adam He also said that it would be great to partner with DRD.

[32:56] So we

[32:56] great to partner with DRD. So we're gonna talk to them about having different kinds of activ ities for kids to do while other classes are in place that they may not want.

[33:05] have their scheduled events, things that they can net for, um, and all the activities at Cathedral City provides outside, so there'

[33:11] provides outside, so there's a way for families to apply for this scholarship for DRD right then and there at their booth as well as do activities and learn about all of everything.

[33:18] to read soccer and.

[33:20] and so it

[33:21] soccer and. and so it's.

[33:21] ' s kind of a big introduction to DRD as well.

[33:25] um, so that people.

[33:26] be options are within Cathedral City yes we need to all tidy it up for a staff next meeting s and.

[33:46] to approve that and then we can move it on Since we' can move it on Since we're on a tight time frame if you'

[33:52] Since we're on a tight time frame if you're on Mar.

[33:56] team.

[33:56] your staff No, we don'

[34:04] your staff No, we don't So we'

[34:04] No, we don't So we're gonna actually schedule it assuming they'

[34:07] assuming they'll sort of a second meeting that you can provide, excuse me, February.

[34:16] So if you could provide as much detail as you do.

[34:22] liaisons, DMO Presuit literature Cristina, that'

[34:28] Presuit literature Cristina, that's how this team works.

[34:31] and we can get that thing all tidied up.

[34:33] those.

[34:33] all ready as soon as possible because you know all the details of it.

[34:43] would be due at uh.

[34:59] because there might be some back and forth.

[35:00] So send me an email.

[35:02] just watch your email because I'

[35:03] just watch your email because I'll shoot you questions if I have um.

[35:41] no spreadsheet thanks to Commissioner McColl lo And does anybody, any commissioners have any questions?

[35:54] Just one other thing that really this is meant to be kind of a pilot, so we'

[35:57] that really this is meant to be kind of a pilot, so we'd be able to kind of work out a lot of the nuances at the amphitheater and then hopefully be able to replicate at other parks throughout Cahed ral ity as time goes on Yes, and this satisfies

[36:09] the request from, um, community and other commissioners to do something on a weekend so that.

[36:14] you pay.

[36:19] precluded your budget, any publishing or OK.

[36:31] back to this sheet.

[36:35] go.

[36:36] there is no need for approval It'

[36:38] there is no need for approval It's.

[36:38] almost for discussion.

[36:39] This item was for discussion only and there was no formal action required.

[36:42] they

[36:42] required. they'll be on the you would like it agenized for them.

[36:46] We have no public comments on so then we can move on without any or.

[36:53] action items needed to item B, which is paint with paste.

[36:56] Maybe we have an in the commission.

[37:01] Herrera and I have been working on putting certain um that would be activating the.

[37:09] throughout Cathedral City and working with.

[37:13] things were a bit slow and getting responses from people.

[37:17] so I don

[37:17] getting responses from people. so I don't have too many updates uh, moving forward, but I did wanna mention that we, we did attend the public arts commission meeting and gauge their interest as well as their willingness to different artists

[37:30] that might be connected.

[37:31] ed to teach some of.

[37:34] these We'

[37:34] these We're building out some of the connections needed, uh, I did to take next steps with community s We did talk to Sue Townsley about partnering with the senior center too.

[37:45] So I.

[37:47] am waiting to hear back from February because that was the initial impetus.

[37:51] for the idea was there.

[37:54] a lot of their arts programming reducing because of a staff member library and they used to offer like Saturday art classes and kind of.

[38:03] some they have some of the resources already.

[38:05] It was, it was building from that interest and also need.

[38:16] Fridays.

[38:16] There

[38:16] Fridays. There's 50 galleries right here in a lot of.

[38:20] that are already.

[38:29] Yeah, thank you Do we have any other questions from the commission item?

[38:41] OK?

[38:41] Any public claim, any public comments on this item.

[38:44] If you have.

[38:47] and it was just for information discussion only, so there'

[38:49] and it was just for information discussion only, so there's no formal action needed on this item.

[38:57] I think hold off.

[39:01] I think hold off. I'm thinking that the first event will probably kick off in the summer, and I think.

[39:05] that will at one.

[39:06] of the art galleries or at the library would be a great.

[39:13] the follow so with this F March A.

[39:35] the it financial support meeting and the body and.

[39:53] Also, if it is in the summer, we can promote.

[39:55] through the summer movie through that event.

[40:00] This event is on a Saturday. We'll have, we can do it on the.

[40:05] built-in audience for this 50 people.

[43:14] So just 15 tables 2 chairs, and how does s 5 and 5 tables 5 tables the amphit um the person that you sent the email, what'

[43:42] the person that you sent the email, what's what was the email that you sent OK, because the size of the tables could determine This is more like an expo as a.

[43:55] to a fair like where begin Um, it says in the staff report.

[44:06] detailed the desert Healthcare provided um with the staff report, the events from 10 to 1.

[44:11] uh, district healthcare will coordinate the event and manage participation by approximately 12 to 15 community-based organizations.

[44:20] And then they, the services include two mobile medical clinics.

[44:25] a vision, mobile clinic operating eye exams.

[44:34] community-based organizations offering help and sources.

[44:36] and then DRD for productivities.

[44:38] Um, the one.

[44:42] that confirmation was it binds So if they don'

[44:46] confirmation was it binds So if they don't know, it finds fine usually brings their own, though there was just a really an unknown question of how much it would cost to rent.

[44:57] how many tables and chairs, uh.

[45:00] 50.

[45:01] tables and chairs it'

[45:03] tables and chairs it's estimated at 700 dollars and it'

[45:10] it's estimated at 700 dollars and it's but a rental for table and two chairs.

[45:13] is $14 So I think we can probably get this down.

[45:20] If you really think they only need 5 tables and 15 chairs.

[45:26] sized tables.

[45:27] with the long like this a 6 ft table, yeah, something like that.

[45:37] Yeah, so you

[45:37] that. Yeah, so you're looking at 14 dollars Mhm we could do like we do on the other events, we could do a not to exceed amount from the Parks commission budget.

[45:53] and then only spent what we end up, I'

[45:55] and then only spent what we end up, I'll confirm with the organizer exactly but we do have something somewhere in storage that we can take, so.

[46:05] Let me I would would focus in on a figure and I would focus in on another.

[46:21] with don'

[46:22] with don't spend it Bill goes back into the I'

[46:27] Bill goes back into the I'd like to ask a question, um when we first started doing yoga, we had to do a special permit So who'

[46:33] permit So who's handling the permit?

[46:36] What does it need one at the parks?

[46:40] Does it need not need?

[46:43] It just gets the support and it goes through city council.

[46:59] 0 They I I' I'd up it a little bit just in case I miss.

[47:14] 6 that And that budget.

[47:19] why are we not able to use the city'

[47:21] why are we not able to use the city's tables and chairs like we do?

[47:25] flat tables and chairs.

[47:26] We

[47:26] like we do? flat tables and chairs. We've already asked special events that are not tables and chairs and to be lo ed up.

[47:30] and then this is our event.

[47:32] It

[47:32] and then this is our event. It's a or events That'

[47:36] or events That's what they said, um But I was thinking too does because every time this is not against Every time they do like, for example, do they do yoga class.

[47:55] vendors do they come out?

[48:00] outside We providing papers in insurance.

[48:05] sometimes unattended had to bring out the tables to the.

[48:11] stairs.

[48:12] chairs then that'

[48:15] then that's, that'

[48:15] then that's, that's what I was that'

[48:16] that's, that's what I was that's what I do.

[48:28] yoga.

[48:29] I know that we have 3 because we use 3.

[48:33] the Alinabby dog and they provide the pictures.

[48:35] a storage room.

[48:37] Adam brought.

[48:42] I, I would write about the tables.

[48:44] We have Parkinson

[48:45] I, I would write about the tables. We have Parkinson's, we have Read with Me.

[48:47] our own tables.

[48:49] and There are some tables in there, and there may be still just do a $500 because that'

[48:57] still just do a $500 because that's a, what day is that event?

[49:00] Saturday?

[49:02] even if I can get use of city.

[49:07] s.

[49:07] I still have to bring out also bring out.

[49:10] approved of drop.

[49:14] So we

[49:14] drop. So we're not getting the same message, but we'

[49:17] we're not getting the same message, but we'll clarify that.

[49:18] Yeah, well, obviously we don

[49:19] message, but we'll clarify that. Yeah, well, obviously we don't want to be It control and actually move so.

[49:31] necessarily we'

[49:31] necessarily we're being sent out to a park and then they'

[49:36] and then they're collecting it and.

[49:38] in this case in this event, you'

[49:39] in this case in this event, you're not gonna city.

[49:46] So it'

[49:47] So it's a little nuance there.

[49:48] And once again, chairs and tables are like tools.

[49:54] have a mechanic.

[49:54] shop or anything in that way, so I'

[49:58] in that way, so I'm very cautious about that Great point though.

[50:01] Why not have us.

[50:02] purchase some as oppose to renting if first money so that we have, I mean, like I, I'

[50:09] first money so that we have, I mean, like I, I'm a vendor for Read with me and I have to bring my table and my pop up and my chairs to the lens that we do.

[50:15] do that with anything we own or do we put it uh once again as an example frontages they use for the old snow fest.

[50:35] storage costs more than annual bases.

[50:40] It got ridi cul ous What do we do.

[50:50] you know.

[50:52] those are the challenges we have.

[50:56] trying to run this Morris efficiently And I mean, it'

[50:59] Morris efficiently And I mean, it's good we can pry these away from some as in the one out, which is probably at tables.

[51:14] might be a little uh.

[51:21] like for.

[51:24] and I do things for my I 3, and it because they can come out.

[51:32] set them up.

[51:35] I don

[51:35] set them up. I don't think 14 boxes outrageous.

[51:37] I think that

[51:37] outrageous. I think that's fine.

[51:38] and that

[51:39] I think that's fine. and that's why I was just gonna ask to do the not to exceed 500 and then I can do some research.

[51:45] because if.

[51:47] if we do have the tables and chairs here that the city can use.

[51:50] I still have to budget for the manpower to get it to you.

[51:53] added up.

[51:55] whereas they

[51:55] added up. whereas they're only charging 100 to do that.

[51:58] It might be cheaper to just rent it.

[52:01] I.

[52:01] one of the things to that district they just wanted to accept you.

[52:12] I up.

[52:15] help her in the Yes.

[52:18] out there was insurance there' was insurance there's any as to or anything.

[52:24] we get it and just remember that when it parks city amphit he at ers sometimes has exceptions We don'

[52:40] exceptions We don't need a city council unless it'

[52:46] a city council unless it's extraordinarily huge.

[52:48] um OK, we don'

[52:49] um OK, we don't need to use terms.

[52:55] monetary we to.

[53:03] they it'

[53:04] they it's actually good to go to the city We want the $500 not that difficult.

[53:08] to have it in your budget Also advertising.

[53:16] the Yeah to do the something.

[53:22] we

[53:22] something. we'd at least have some of the 5 You guys are OK with that 500 dollars yeah, this is a first time event too.

[53:33] It
