wonderful and on a federal level

198
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:41,680
regarding cybersecurity

199
00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:43,680
supervisors and trying to

200
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:45,680
coordinate a meeting through the

201
00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:47,680
chamber of commerce for small

202
00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:48,680
businesses.

203
00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:51,668
the idea of ransom ware attack

204
00:09:54,680 --> 00:09:57,680
and how they impact our local

205
00:09:57,680 --> 00:09:59,468
economy is very important.

206
00:10:00,680 --> 00:10:02,680
there has been a discussion on

207
00:10:02,680 --> 00:10:05,668
fentanyl in schools and how to

208
00:10:08,680 --> 00:10:11,668
mitigate them and how to bring

209
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:16,680
the community together and the

210
00:10:16,680 --> 00:10:18,468
housing services and mentioning

211
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:21,680
the coachella valley as an area

212
00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:22,680
with high need.

213
00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:24,680
this is a national conference

214
00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:25,680
and we were highlighted not only

215
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:29,268
for the need, but later for the

216
00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:35,680
innovation we were having.

217
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:37,680
there were questions on the

218
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:39,680
conference and I found it very

219
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:41,680
valuable. I appreciate your

220
00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:42,680
support.

221
00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:44,680
>> thank you.

222
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:46,680

a few things, if I may, council

232
00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:06,680
member trubee and I did attend

233
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:09,668
the cal cities events and there

234
00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:14,680
was a presentation on water and

235
00:11:14,680 --> 00:11:15,680
the issues we are dealing with

236
00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:17,680
and it was valuable to be there

237
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:19,680
and I'm glad we were able to

238
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:22,668
take the time to go over.

239
00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:27,680
banning or beaumont?

240
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:29,680
>> beaumont.

241
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:32,680
also last thursday, secretary of

242
00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:34,680
transportation announced a

243
00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:36,468
$1.3 billion funding for the

244
00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:48,680
port's and trade corridor.

245
00:11:48,680 --> 00:11:51,680
we are part of the trade court

246
00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:52,680
order going through the

247
00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:54,680
coachella valley and doing a

248
00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:56,680
great job representing all the

249
00:11:56,680 --> 00:11:58,680
cities in this area to get

250
00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:02,680
funding to be sure the I-10 is

251
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:03,680
taken care of appropriately and

252
00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:06,680
how it impacts our communities.

253
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:09,680
of course I want to mention,

254
00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:11,680
it's hot out there.

255
00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:14,680
it's time to check on our

256
00:12:14,680 --> 00:12:15,680
neighbors to be sure they are

257
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:17,680
okay.

258
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:19,680
july 1st through august 31st is

259
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:21,680
nine city challenge.

260
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:24,680
during the summer, our high

261
00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:25,680
school blood drives are

262
00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:28,680
non-existent and many of our

263
00:12:28,680 --> 00:12:29,680
snow birds leave.

264
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:31,680
that's another source of blood

265
00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:33,680
donations that we don't have.

266
00:12:33,680 --> 00:12:36,680
this is a great time.

267
00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:37,680
every time you donate, you can

268
00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:40,680
save up to three lives. It's an

269
00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:42,680
hour of your time.

270
00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:43,680
you have until august 31st.

271
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:45,680
make sure you donate.

272
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:48,680
make sure you say palm desert

273
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:49,680
because we would like to win.

274
00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:51,680
most important is that we help

275
00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:52,680
other people in this.

276
00:12:52,680 --> 00:12:54,680
so make sure that you take a

277
00:12:54,680 --> 00:12:57,680
moment and you donate to help

278
00:12:57,680 --> 00:12:59,680
others. That again is through

279
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:00,680
august 31st.

280
00:13:00,680 --> 00:13:02,680
we all have a little bit of time

281
00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:04,680
to get there and donate.

282
00:13:04,680 --> 00:13:06,680
so, thank you.

283
00:13:08,680 --> 00:13:09,680
>>mayor kathleen kelly: thank

284
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:10,680
you.

285
00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:11,680
>> council member trubee?

286
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:12,680
>>council member evan trubee:

287
00:13:12,680 --> 00:13:14,680
yes, I want to remind everybody

288
00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:17,680
that this monday is our

289
00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:19,680
inaugural very first task force

290
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:22,680
meeting and very excited to get

291
00:13:22,680 --> 00:13:24,680
started with this process on the

292
00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:25,680
new beautiful library.

293
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:28,680
you can attend via zoom or in

294
00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:32,268
person and of course jen and I

295
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:35,680
will be there.

296
00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:37,680
and delivered a real template

297
00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:39,680
for us to work with.

298
00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:41,680
I'm looking forward to working

299
00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:42,680
with this.

300
00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:43,680
thank you.

301
00:13:43,680 --> 00:13:44,680
>>mayor kathleen kelly: thank

302
00:13:44,680 --> 00:13:45,680
you.

303
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:49,268
I have a one request for action.

304
00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:55,680
back in 2019, I believe it was

305
00:13:55,680 --> 00:13:58,680
the meeting of april 27th.

306
00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:02,468
the council members unanimously

307
00:14:04,680 --> 00:14:07,680
observed our assessment that the

308
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:10,680
various downtown overlay

309
00:14:12,680 --> 00:14:15,680
districts were not serving to

310
00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:19,680
effectively implement the

311
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,680
general plan of particularly in

312
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,668
regard to height we thought were

313
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,680
not desirable nor achievable.

314
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,680
since that time, we've had two

315
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,680
different significant economic

316
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,680
stressors to development in the

317
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,680
form of covid and inflationary

318
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,680
cycle and quite a lot of staff

319
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:06,680
transition.

320
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,668
so now that those currently in

321
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,468
the development department have

322
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,680
gained some experience with the

323
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,680
current system, I would like to

324
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,468
request staff's assessment of

325
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,680
how well the overlay districts

326
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,468
are functioning or not

327
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,468
functioning and perhaps make

328
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:42,680
some recommendations and

329
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:43,680
alternatives.

330
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,680
does that seem feasible?

331
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,680
>> yes.

332
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,680
and do my colleagues support

333
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:03,680
that?

334
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,680
>> absolutely support that.

335
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,680
>> I see you nodding also.

336
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:14,680
thank you.

337
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,680
this brings us to non-agenda

338
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:17,680
public comment.

339
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:18,680
this is the time to alert the

340
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,680
council to topics of enter which

341
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,668
are not on tonight's agenda. If

342
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:34,680

agenda item, we will give you

considered.

are not on the agenda.

349
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,680
because of state requiring

350
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,668
notice before, we won't be able

351
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:08,680

353
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,680
to staff for follow-up.

364
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:09,680

365
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:10,680
>>r

366
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,680
public speaker: yes, I'm

barbara.

368
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,680
I'm here to talk about the

369
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,468
license reader cameras with

370
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,680
intelligence that is a camera

371
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,680
that is logging, learning, that

372
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,680
is an invasion of our privacy,

373
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,680
and also has many problems of

374
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:35,680
its own.

375
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,668
according to the city of palm

376
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,680
desert at least 101 cameras are

377
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,680
being installed to help the

378
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,680
sheriff "fight crime and enforce

379
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:47,680
the law".

380
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,680
these are carrots of technology.

381
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,680
according to flock's own

382
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,680
website, they record a detail

383
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,680
vehicle fingerprint, travel

384
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,680
patterns, stores images,

385
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,680
analyzes key elements and that

386
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,680
we own the footage and never

387
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:13,680
share it.

388
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:14,680
that is not true.

389
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,680
the stored data goes to amazon,

390
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,680
google and other tech companies

391
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,680
and could easily be hacked.

392
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,680
hundreds of cars come under

393
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,680
suspicion for a crime if they

394
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,680
are recorded passing by a camera

395
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,668
on the event of a crime.

396
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,680
these cameras have access to the

397
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,680
records of all vehicles comings

398
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:38,680
and goings.

399
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,680
the surveillance system with

400
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,680
their records could be used to

401
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:43,680
implicate someone in a crime or

402
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,680
any variety of other situations.

403
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,680
these dangers are worsened by

404
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,468
these broad disseminations since

405
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,680
it not only goes to the

406
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,680
neighbors but to other police

407
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:06,680
even around the country through

408
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,468
flocks new talent system.

409
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,680
which links all the cameras

410
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,680
around the country.

411
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,668
these cameras are black and on

412
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:30,680
black polls.

413
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,680
not to confuse with the

414
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:34,680
intersection cameras.

415
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,680
how many people in this room are

416
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,680
listening via zoom value and

417
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,680
want to keep a right to privacy.

418
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,680
can I have a show of hands?

419
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,680
thank you.

420
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,868
we did not ask for this and the

421
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,680
cameras must be taken down

422
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:00,680
immediately.

423
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,680
we recognize this is an expense

424
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,680
for the city of this technology

425
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,668
and for putting the citizens and

426
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,680
their residents at the forefront

427
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,680
of their decision.

428
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:19,680
>>mayor kathleen kelly: can I

429
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:20,680
ask for one clarification?

430
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,680
>> certainly.

431
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,680
>> I heard you say you are not

432
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,680
speaking about cameras placed at

433
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:27,680
intersections.

434
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,680
>> yes, I'm not talking about,

435
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,468
well these flocked cameras

436
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,680
are -- I have a picture of which

437
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,680
one I'm talking about if you

438
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,680
would like to see it?

439
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,680
>> perhaps you can send that to

440
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,680
the clerk afterwards.

441
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,680
I brought a picture because

442
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,680
there are so many cameras and

443
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:05,680
they are confusing.

444
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,680
>> if you go give that to our

445
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:08,680
clerk.

446
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:09,680
if we can ask for a summary in

447
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,668
the report that safe guards that

448
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:14,680
offers in place to protect

449
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,680
privacy. Thank you.

450
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:28,680

coachella valley water district

529
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:23,680
for utility conflict relocation

530
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:24,680
in roundabout at san pablo

531
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,680
avenue and san gorgonio way

532
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,680

>> hopefully this will culminate

534
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,680
this. This is for a replacement

535
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,668
of a utility pole hopefully with

536
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,680
the installation of the sun

537
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:43,680
sculpture.

538
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:44,680
utilities was also a

539
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:45,680
consideration for this project.

540
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,680
however during the engineering

541
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:48,680
phase and lighting and solution

542
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,680
plan, it was discovered that

543
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,680
utilities were much more

544
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,680
significantly obstructing than

545
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:55,680
anticipated.

546
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,680
so approval of relocating these

547
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:58,680
utilities will allow the project

548
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,680
to remain on track with

549
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:04,680
installation of the sculpture

550
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,680
this year.

551
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,680
in addition, if this is

552
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:09,680
approved, staff will work with

553
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,680
residents and businesses in the

554
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,680
area to notify them of the work,

555
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,680
even though it's minimal impact

556
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,668
such as road closures because it

557
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:23,680
will be refined to the

558
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,680

item before you is for the

591
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,680
project on fred waring drive.

592
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,680
this is showing cracking and

593
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,680
shows failures in the asphalt

594
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,680
and sub grades.

595
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,680
if it is not repairs, there will

596
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,668
be several pot holes. This is

597
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,680
including segments of fred wear

00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,680
they conducted test and

including ground penetrating

602
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,680
radar and determined the best

603
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,680
treatment would be to full deck

604
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,468
reclamation. To pulverize the

605
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,680
existing asphalt and remove the

606
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,680
top six inches of the new

607
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,680
blended material to lay a full

00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,668
layer of new asphalt concrete on

609
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:55,680
top.

610
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,680
there will be a lot of heavy

611
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:58,680
equipment and significant impact

612
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,680
to traffic and will provide

613
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:02,680
notification to businesses and

614
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,668
provide one way traffic at all

615
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:08,680
times. The contract will phase

616
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,680
the project to enclose the

617
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,680
outside lane and then the

618
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,680
driveways first and then to the

619
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:21,680
outside lanes and once they have

620
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,680
that paved, they will move the

621
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,680
operation to the inner lanes and

622
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,680
rehabilitate those lanes.

623
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,680
in addition to the street rehab,

624
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,680
there is pedestrian facilities

625
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,680
and drainage improvements that

626
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,680
will be maintained. Here is the

627
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:38,680
timeline.

628
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,680
we anticipate the project will

629
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,680
take approximately 90 calendar

630
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:43,680

631
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,680
we built a time line with this

632
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,680
in mind.

633
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,680

634
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,680

when we are addressing a project

637
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,668
on an arterial like fred waring,

638
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:04,680
communication is very important.

639
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,668
with that in mind, we built

640
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:09,680
significant aspects into this

641
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:10,680
timeline.

642
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,868
you can see we are up to july

643
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,680

807
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,680
>> good evening mayor and

808
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:50,680
members of city council.

809
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,680
the item before you is for the

810
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:54,680
approval of the golf course

811
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,468
clubhouse. This is another

812
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,680
opportunity to expand this

813
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,468
city's portfolio and renewable

814
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,680
energy projects.

815
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:08,680
public works staff was directed

816
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,680
to research options to reduce

817
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,680
electrical cost at the desert

818
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,468
willow golf course clubhouse.

819
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,680
and there are locations and they

820
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,680
identified a parking lot that

821
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,680
will be constructed on the

822
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,680
corner of marketplace and willow

823
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,680
drive for this location of the

824
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,668
system and this will use 100% of

825
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:37,680
the clubhouse as well as the

826
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:38,680
usage from the golf course

827
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:40,680
irrigation pump.

828
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,680
the solar project will again

829
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,468
rate over 113 megawatt hours

830
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:48,680
annually and the city is

831
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,680
expected to save $2.6 million on

832
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:53,680
electricity bills.

833
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,680
this power purchase agreement is

834
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,680
identical to the power purchase

835
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:00,680
agreement that the city council

836
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,680
approved in 2022.

837
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,680
the agreement has been reviewed

838
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:08,680
by nb 5 that are experts in the

839
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:10,680
field of sustainable planning

840
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,680
and the city attorney has

841
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:18,680
reviewed the agreement and

842
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,680
analysis are reasonable.

843
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,680
staff recommends the project be

844
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:36,680
approved per the

845
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:39,680
recommendations.

846
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:40,680
>>mayor kathleen kelly: thank

847
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:41,680

>> no public comment, madam

854
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:58,680
>>council member evan trubee:

855
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,680
okay, this lot is dirt. And we

856
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:03,680
are going to ground up this deal

857
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:04,680
here?

858
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,680
>> the project will be

859
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,680
constructed as part of the

860
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,680
desert development and will add

861
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:14,680
the take.

counsel has advised that before

865
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:26,680
we close the public hearing, we

866
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,680
should make a finding basing on

867
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,680
the independent review of the

868
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:37,680
proposed system that provides

869
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,680
energy savings in compliance

870
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:41,680
with government code 4217.

871
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,668
would someone like to move that

872
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,680
finding?

happened so quickly and it's

920

because we received excellent

921
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,468
staff reports that allowed

922
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,680
council to do our homework and

923
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:54,268

924
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:57,680
questions and seek

925
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:00,680
clarifications ahead of the

926
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:01,680
meeting.
