NO to the permanent sunset of measure J, extend it fine but NO to making it permanent. No one can predict the
future and I would prefer to see a detailed, completely transparent expenditure list. Try some fiscal austerity
instead, 300K + for playground equipment as an example is just ridiculous
Thank you,

Re: Written letter to be entered in the Public record and made available for public Inspection
for the July 9, 2024 (5:30PM) Palm Springs City Council meeting - Agenda Item: 3.A
(elimination of original voted on agreement - Taxes)
Dear current City Council,
It's reasonable to consider that the current extremely progressive Palm Springs City Council
has taken radical political maneuvers to waste taxpayer's resources to add a ballot measure to
eliminate a voter approved "Sunset" clause on Measure "J" sale tax increase.
It's remarkably clear that such a radical political maneuvers to extend the city's one (1) cent
sale tax increase past the voter agreed time (due to expires on March 31, 2037) was to
potentially have California constitutional amendments (ACA 1 and ACA 13) that may be
installed after November 2024 by California voters (or democratic shenanigans) in place. Plus
another ballot measure that has been removed by legal ranging from California's political
powers (Taxpayers Protection Act). Would certainly make that Measure "J" tax a forever tax
without the possibility of having future attempts to have that tax and others ever removed by
direct voter efforts.
It's very suspicious that having this discussion (Agenda Item: 3.A) attached to this Palm
Springs City Council meeting (Tuesday) that may have less public partispation (real time
monitoring of Residents) because of the Citys methodology of moving the long established
Thursday Palm Springs City Council meetings to a Tuesday meeting for this week only.
It's highly likely that Riverside County Transportation Commission may announced a Ballot
measure to increase the regional sales tax by one (1) cent for the upcoming State wide election
in November 2024. City of Palm Springs already has the highest sale tax in the Coachella
Valley with the possibility of an inconvenience increase in November 2024 with voter
approval (or ballot shenanigans).
Tourists already may have negative opinions over the high sales tax in the city of Palm
Springs - why continue bad policys for our tax hungry political classes and their special
Interests -

Subject: Homeless ordinance
Hello Mayor Bernstein, Iam writing on behalf of myself & husband in SUPPORT of
the ordinance you will consider tonight. I recently retired from the Seattle area
where I served as a Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for 32 years. James & I
live in Palm Springs full time now. I witnessed Seattle let the homeless situation
get totally out of control & are now trying to deal with a very difficult problem.
Please do not allow this to happen to our new home.

This in no way should be interpreted as opposing help for the homeless, we
support these efforts, but lawlessness is of no benefit to anyone.
