Shame on the city council for quickly voting for the new navigation center approval without getting feedback or impact statements from residents. Miralon is a new development where many people are moving away from the serious crime, safety and lower quality of life neighborhoods that the pandemic has brought. Many of us have just purchased, are in escrow or have just moved in. Many have saved for a lifetime to safely retire away from a big city. It is obvious you pushed this through to prevent the current and future miralon residents to mobilize their voices and fight this to not happen in our backyards. Many homes back up to San Rafael and there is currently parking allowed. This street will became a major urinal, trash collector and guarantee it will become filled with broken down RVs and Winnebago's that people are living in. The area already does not have enough police presence, does not have supermarkets, restaurants. banks etc. it is a shame that the decision was made purely because of the budget vs also taking the time to see if there were other viable, less impactful options. We are now starting to connect with all of the surrounding neighborhoods to ensure all current and future residents are aware of what the city council just did. Just shameful 1 1 guarantee you that not one of the council members has this new navigation site in their backyards. Very very disappointing. https://www.desertsun.com/story/opinion/editorials/2021 /11 /20/palm-springs-homeless-navigation-center-take-lot-more- work/8660540002/ Sent from my Samsung Galaxy X Can'► rm�m Anthony Mejia From: Kenneth Martinson <kenamartinson@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 16, 2021 10:32 AM To: City Clerk Subject: Written Submission for consideration of City Council for 11/18 meeting INOTICE: This message originated outside of The City of Palm Springs -- DO NOT CLICK on links or open attachments unless you are sure the content is safe. Dear City Council members, I am writing, as a Mountaingate resident in Northwest Palm Springs to let you know you have my FULL support for the proposed location in North Palm Springs for the Drug Rehab and Homelessness facility in our community. I understand that some of my neighbors are concerned about adding to an already problematic crime rate and possibly lowered property values. I am attaching a well- researched and sourced study which proves these myths are just that .... myths. I hope you will take the opportunity to look over this well done study which proves, at least in Los Angeles, that people's concerns over increased crime and lowered property values are false concerns, and the greater good is to help the people in need. In fact, for Palm Springs to go ahead with this center would make our city even more fabulous, and hopefully, even more enjoyable with less people having to be forced roaming the streets with their belongings in shopping carts. Everyone should have the right to a place to keep their belongings, as well as a shower, clean clothes, and a place to stay cool in the desert. Additionally, the centers will certainly give some people in need a chance for them to get back on their feet and become a productive member of society once again. Thank you for your work, and considering my words. Kenneth Martinson, I �1 1� lzoz -?

Nov 18 2021 INOTICE: This message originated outside of The City of Palm Springs -- DO NOT CLICK on links or open attachments unless you are sure the content is safe. Nov 18 2021- City Clerk, Mayor Council November 18, 2021 City Council Agendas COD legal fee- NO, Reparations- NO, Bogert Sculpture- NO to any move or change in location. Navigation center McCarthy -NO. DAP expansion not to code -NO COD $500,000 attorney outside contract: I oppose any such attorney contract for half a million dollars. The pandemic has slowed down progress on many public projects. DO NOT SIGN an attorney fee contract. A work around between new COD leads and new Mayor of PS can unfold. I request that the City of Palm Springs leads have patience, wait, see how this unfolds, work directly with COD leads, allow COD to perform their feasibility studies I think a convention center public forum can be set up for mid January 2022 to discuss many situation BOGERT Sculpture- No to any change of location- Is it sad that city of PS current leads spin, use politics. Leave Bogert sculpture memorial as is/whereis and stop the lies, spins, political false stumps! NAVIGATION CENTER- the City paid for appraisal, yet lacks transparency as to public record requests to show us the appraisal. The property sold for $3.5 million recently, yet the city made an offer of nearly double the value at just under $6 million. Wasting of public funds is wrong. REPARATIONS - Palm Springs has never had slavery situation. This City Council is clearly aberrant, inept to politically spin again. Using public funds on false narrative when Indian Land owners, two tribe members had every right to notice temporary tenants, many squatters who paid no rent to the tribe members to vacate so tribe members may develop their land. The Citizenry of Palm Springs have nothing to do with this. Taxpayer funds may not be used in this manner. Wasting public funds again on false narratives is wrong. Granted this City Council is new to the city, fails to know or see clearly to facts, fails to comprehend a simple matter of tribe land rights. This is another political spin, mismanagement by leads. DAP project- The DAP expansion needs to be reviewed, plans changed to keep code zone for 31 units (not 61 units) City is wrong to increase density, while deleting adequate parking for the new additions. Either scale back on public center spaces to add parking or scale back to 31 units with proper parking. City said it will install signal light in front of new units. As we know another pedestrian was run over, hit by car and died as a result of the DAP crossing to east Stater Bros market. The city is liable for such poor designs and there will likely be more deaths as density is being increased far above building zone & codes. I oppose high density and height increases to three stories and lack of parking spaces per unit as per codes. It is time to put the above items on agenda at the Convention Center in Palm Springs, then on the ballot from there if need be for a few of the items. Thank you.
