7. Short description of proposed project.
Palm Canyon Theatre is requesting funding for equipment and installation of a
Security System at Frances Stevens School, located within Frances Stevens Park in
North Palm Springs. Unfortunately, the park and facility attract people who
vandalize, do and deal drugs, sleep, urinate, and defecate on the property. These
types of occurrences are ongoing and usually occur weekly. PCT’s request is to
install 11 security cameras each with built-in red/blue warning lights and active
audio deterrence. A Desert Alarm bid estimated the cost. Currently, the City of
Palm Springs is in a planning stage to invest a portion of Measure J funds
(allocated in 2022) to repair damaged/unsightly portions of the property. Many of the
issues were due to vandalism. By requesting a security system at Frances
Stevens School we would protect the repairs that are planned in the next year,
defend the historic building from further damage, and discourage further loitering
at the facility and in the park.
