I play pickleball at DeMuth Park, and I recently heard that there are plans to build a block wall between the courts and the wastewater treatment facility. I’m not sure why it was determined that a block wall is needed at that location, but I’m concerned about the safety of players who play directly in front of a wall like that. I ask that you look into ways to protect players from the harsh effects of the wall’s hard surface before a wall is built--and that you seek input/feedback from pickleball players that would guide your decision.

To:City Clerk Cc:Raul Torres Subject:Traffic Signal/Crosswalk Timing and Accessible Ramps Date:Sunday, March 20, 2022 3:32:56 PM NOTICE: 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. To Whom It May Concern, My name is Raul H. Torres, I'm 66 years old and retired from the University of California Office of the President. I only recently have had the pleasure of living in this lovely city since October 2020. I'm a transplant from the San Francisco Bay Area where I've lived for 34 years prior to moving here. In 2016 I suffered a neurological trauma resulting in having to rely on walking with a brace and cane and for longer excursions, a power wheelchair. One of the factors that brought me to Palm Springs was because of its flat terrain. I felt it would be the perfect setting for my retiring years. Over the past year and 5 months, I've explored and gotten around town in my wheelchair. I can get to most destinations without too much trouble, however... I must say there are some aspects of getting around town on a wheelchair that are a bit vexing. I will try to be as concise as I can, but I will not attempt to be all inclusive here, nor will I list these issues in any particular order of importance. Traffic/Crosswalk Lights & Controls: There's not enough time to safely cross most major intersections in Palm Springs. The placement of the pedestrian signal button is very often quite a distance from the cut-a-way ramp in the sidewalk. When the button is activated, the signal many times immediately changes, but I, the wheelchair user, am not yet in position at the ramp to check for traffic before entering the intersection. This means several precious minutes have already lapsed and the yellow or wait sign comes on while I'm still in the intersection. Move the buttons closer or lengthen the time on the lights. And perhaps redesign the ramps. Expansive intersections are especially problematic. Cut-A-Way Sidewalk Ramps: Nearly every intersection has the same setup and it's not a very good one. One cut- a-way ramp in each direction on a sidewalk; that means two cut-a-ways at every corner. They are usually steep and awkward to navigate. Why not make the entire corner a ramp? From one light post all the way around the corner to the other light post. A perfect example is the northwest corner of N Palm Canyon at E Tahquitz Canyon Way. But there again is the issue of where the button to activate the light is 3/24/2022 Public Comment Item Non Agenda located... several yards away from the intersection. See above. Blinking Lights on Crosswalks: ALL CROSSWALKS SHOULD HAVE BLINKING LIGHTS TO WARN DRIVERS THAT A PEDESTRIAN IS IN THE CROSSWALK. Pedestrians and/or wheelchair riders are no match for a vehicle of any type. Missing or Poorly Maintained Sidewalks: Where are my tax dollars going if not to maintain something as basic as sidewalks? The majority of the sidewalks are usually very nice, but get out of the touristy area and some streets don't even have sidewalks. Or they just end mid-block. A wheelchair rider can't just hop the curb and run across the street. We have to backtrack, that is if the sidewalk is wide enough to turn around, and go back to the last intersection, cross the street then proceed. What? Businesses and ADA: It appears accessible doors are not a thing here in Palm Springs. I've even found some medical facilities lacking in this area. Most places have ramps and there is usually someone to help, but why don't I see accessible, easy-open doors at local shops and establishments? As I said, this is just a short list of things I've observed in my short time here in the desert. I hope this reaches the eyes of someone who cares and will take some action on these very important matters. I hope to hear back from someone soon, (by the end of the month?) if only to acknowledge receipt of my email. Sincerely, Raul H.

I lodged a complaint because my neighbor parks his trash receptacles on the side of the house. From the street, in both directions, they are in plain sight. I sent dated photographs showing the violation along with the complaint. Received acknowledgement of my complaint and then, in a couple of days received an email that said the case was closed. No explanation whatsoever and no name, nothing, and no way to contact whoever had sent me the email from compliance. One year later the receptacles are still in plain sight. Interaction two. A Vista Norte neighbor lodged a similar complaint because her neighbor parks four trash receptacles outside, in plain view from the sidewalk and street. She also sent photographs. Just like my interaction, she received acknowledgement of the complaint and then, in a couple of days received an email the said the case was closed. No explanation whatsoever and no name, nothing, and no way to contact whoever had sent the email from compliance. Six months later the receptacles are still in plain sight. Interaction three. A third neighbor, Don S. complained that his new neighbor had parked a huge pull-out trailer home on said neighbor’s property. The camper was very visible from the street, less than eight feet from Don S. property line as well as blocking views from Don S. property. As with the two other examples, Don S. received acknowledgement of the complaint and then, in a couple of days received an email that said the case was closed. No explanation whatsoever and no name, nothing, and no way to contact whoever had sent the email from compliance. Eight months later the trailer home is still in plain sight. The point I’d like to bring to the attention to City Council, concerning our Codes department is - After a complaint is filed, it is frustrating and rude that absolutely no information is shared back with the resident. In these three examples “case closed” is the only information received. Let us know why our complaints are ignored. Did we not file the complaint correctly? Were these not actually violations? (Pretty positive after re-reading the codes that these were, in fact, clear code violations.) Were there extenuating circumstances that allow the codes to be violated?

Tahquitz Canyon Way Palm Springs, CA 92262 Re: 71h Annual Richard M. Milanovich Legacy Hike/5K Run Dear Mr. Mejia: On behalf of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, please accept my sincere appreciation for the City of Palm Springs' sponsorship of the 71h Annual Richard M. Milanovich Legacy Hike/5K Run held March 11, 2022. The hike is extremely successful due to the City of Palm Springs' deductible donation of $5,000. The overwhelming generosity of Tribes, Corporations and individuals demonstrates the importance of the Native Nations Law & Policy Center Fellowship Program at UCLA School of Law. The Fellowship Program is designed to advance Indian nations' law and institutions, promote cultural resource protections, and prepare the next generation of legal service providers for Indian country. To date, the hike has funded seven fellowships and this will be the first one benefitting the UCLA School of Law. Agua Caliente is proud, and you should be too, that the success of the hike and proceeds from this year will be used to support this higher education opportunity and directly benefit the fellowship program in honor of our late, great Chairman Richard M. Milanovich. Agua Caliente is a federally -recognized Indian Tribe and as such, your charitable contribution in the amount of $5,000 is fully tax deductible as allowed by law (See 26 I.R.C. § 7871). For your records our tax identification number is 95-2549724. Our Bch Annual Richard M. Milanovich Legacy Hike is scheduled for 2023. We hope that the City of Palm Springs will once again support this worthy cause. The importance and emphasis on education and support of Native American issues is vital to all Native communities.

Hello Mr./Ms. My name is John Fitzgerald and I am a resident and property owner here in Palm Springs currently living in the neighborhood of Movie Colony East near Ruth Hardy Park. I'm also an avid Pickleball player and have great concerns with the proposed cement/brick wall being discussed to be built along the Southern permitter of the DeMuth Park Pickleball courts and the safety issues it presents to me and my fellow Pickleball players. I'm 63 years old and a lot of my fellow pickleball players are seniors as well. During a Pickleball game it's quite common for players to run outside the defined court space in attempt to keep a ball in play; which sometimes results in a player coming in contact with the existing cyclone fence. The current fence has a lot of give and is much more forgiving than a potential solid cement/brick wall which will cause greater physical harm and damage to an individuals body. Old bones are fragile. I assume all in City Management are aware of the litigious nature of Southern California and I'm concerned once people start getting injured from contact with the proposed solid cement/brick wall the City is going to see an increase in lawsuits, litigation cost and potential jury awards and settlements; which will ultimately be passed on to the property tax payers of Palm Springs. Remember Seniors vote and hate seeing tax dollars spent foolishly. For some reason if the wall needs to be built, why not place the wall 3 to 4 feet south of the current Pickleball fence; therefore avoiding potential injuries from contact with the wall and also allowing uninterrupted usage of of the courts during the wall construction since the cyclone fence in place is fully functional. What also concerns me is that we have a group of tax paid city employees that for some reason seem unable to complete their jobs with Pickleball players in the park and require an extremely expense wall to be built; maybe these employees are in the wrong profession! What also concerns me is when you have an individual or group pushing for an expensive boondoggle of a project; which will most likely be awarded to a private outside firm, is that the sponsors are usually financially motivated. (Shall I say kick backs) I think with the high usage of the Pickleball courts here in Palm Springs and Pickleball being the fastest growing sport in America the wall money would be better spent increasing the number of Pickleball courts. Why not consider using the wall money to build courts in Sunrise park; which might also decrease the amount of crime and vagrancy in the park. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.
