Saunders operation as described in applications at one time last year System had as many as 20-30 automobiles in Palm Springs; has deliveredcars here from Los Angeles; described method of supplying and picking up cars; it is proposed to supply 1955 models immediately; some 30-40 cars now in stbck; and Answering questions by Council: System presently operates- 200-250 automobiles,in Southern California area, including Palm Springs; has applied to maintain ten (10) cars in Palm Springs at Kenny Paul's Automotive Service Garage, 4765 East Ramon Road,under management of Kenny Paul; intends to furnish whatever number of cars is needed to meet demands; cars at all times to be stored and serviced inside that garage and delivered from there to prospective renter; rates are very competitive, as high, if not higher, than local competition. Kenny Paul: In past,calls to local agencies for rentals have indicated that care are not available; renters have been obliged to wait for cars to be delivered from outside Palm Springs. Northey DuMaurier (Palm Sp rings Tourist- and 17'isitors Bureau) is_ interested in Saunders applica ion only from tourist bureau stand- point; 'past three years applications for cars have not been filled by local people. Ella Hager, r resenting Beverl Motor Liver (operated from Guarantee Garage➢ north of City) : Has operated for three years here under extremely difficult circumstances; applied for business license which was denied in 1949; still desirous of applying; cited' instances where Tanner and Hertz had been unable to supply cars; at least one more service and probably two more services are needed here in addition to Tanner and Hertz.

Stables in Section 14 - Indian Land (City' Manager Report, Item 6, 10-26-54) - eported receipt of C y Sanitarianvs mw"y report as to conditions existing on following named Avenida Caba1.].etb8 propertiest Ranc1t Stables Riding School (Mrs. Frances Ingram) Araby Stables (C. A. Johnson) at."41 190 Cliff►s Stables (Clifford Campbell) Z1TFiXW�100; and Desert Inn Stables (Travis T. Rogers) 1205 East RamonRoad Fly problem evaluated as follows- No complaints received since starting work in early September. Fly population very low at restaurants,where they would probably be attracted if present; no complaints from nearby residents as to stable odors, and very few flies, if any, could be discerned. Stables on Avenida Caballeros appear to have high adult fly population; spraying is carried out regularly and manure from premises hauled to City dump daily; fly breeding found in some stables which had escaped thorough cleaning. Ramosr Roads&U¢able showed very low fly population. Conclusion- Fly breeding presently existing at stables named does not constitute a health hazard; distance of stables from dwellings apparently prevents flies from migrating in appreciable numbers. Read letter from District Indian Agent (of date November P4, 1954) concerning existing e a e eases in est of Section 14; in substance, as follows- Wilson and Parks have 5-year lease effective December 1, 1951 Cliftb rd Campbell has 5-year lease effective May 1, 1954 Beryl Minor has 1-year lease effective October 1, 1954 Ted Barry has no leases "tenants at will;" Campbell and Minor leases are for any use permitted by City zoning rules Page 5 Council Minutes 12-7-54 and regulations. Wilson and Parks lease is for purpose of stable site ; Agent of opinion that- under Public Law 322, City has power of enforce- ment on land use within city limits irrespective of stated purpose of ground leases approved by Agency; a lease executed prior to January 19 1950 may have non-conforming rights but each of said leases were effective subsequent to establishment of City's jurisdiction; and is recommending that, since there are two other known stables operat- ing within city which are much nearer a residential area than are stables on Indian Land, sanitation authorities enforce compliance to abate any fly,nuisance' and permit continuation of Indian Lands stable] operations for' lease'terms stipulated - thus dvoiding any charge of discrimination, particularly since this type of operation is being closely watched by Agency in order to insure that potential growth and development of Indian Land will not be retarded by adverse improve- ments or use. 3.
