2. ANNEXATIONS (Continued)
Frankie Brown, 670 Calle Palo Fierro, stated that the
City should consider a creative approach to zoning, i .e. ,
that the area be required to produce its own energy; and
there should not be any new taxes to acquire the property.
Bill Byrne, 301 Overlook, stated that he wished to reiterate
comments he made at previous meetings; that he is not
opposed to the annexation, but the irreversible momentum
of the situation; and he commented on an Antioch case
which ruled against that city; that he feels there are
11 occurrences which demonstrate irreversible momentum
- which includes comments and video tapes of staff and
developer; acceptance of the application for a CUP; require-
ment for noise impact report; Planning Commission minutes
and tapes; audio tape of Mayor comments in Council meeting.
He stated his opinion that the City is violating CEQA,
and questioned if the 1990 Guidelines have been adopted;
and read a portion of page 14 thereof; that the project
will have a significant impact on the environment, and
asked that the Council order a full and complete EIR.
Planning Director reported that the 1988 CEQA guidelines
were the last guidelines adopted.
City Attorney stated that there is no requirement that
the guidelines be changed each year, only that there be
local guidelines.
Don Franks stated that the purpose of the hearing is to
consider possible uses for the area; that residential ,
commercial , industrial and recreation has been mentioned;
that much of the area is designated a wildlife reserve;
that wind and solar energy are plentiful , and the area
might be designed as an energy producing zone for the
entire valley.
Fred Ebling, 2460 Tuscan Road, stated that he installed
a windmill at his previous residence near Corona and found
it energy efficient and profitable, and the Council should
think about making the area self-sufficient.
Councilmember Broich asked the City Attorney to determine
whether a full EIR is required.
There were no further appearances.

carried, Neel absent, that the hearing be continued to

Notice was provided as required by law.
Councilmember Broich stated that he would abstain since
he is a member of the District; and excused himself from
the dais.
Mayor stated that this is a heated issue, and the Council (133-004)
has taken the stance that it wants to do whatever the
majority of the downtown business people wish to have
done; that the Council does not want to mandate that the
assessment will or will not be placed; that the City
Attorney has been instructed to provide as accurate a
count as possible to determine the pros and cons, so when
the decision is made it will be based on the majority,
and the Council will merely ratify whatever that choice
is.

3. DBID (Continued)
Business Retention Specialist reported that the District' s
annual report has been filed with the City Clerk; that
there are no changes in either the boundary or the assess-
ment formula; and that the estimated total assessment
for the next fiscal year is $150,040.
City Attorney stated that concerning the hearing, the
District exists and the purpose of the hearing relates
to what will be the annual assessment; that If 50% protest
is attained, the proceeding to establish the annual assess-
ment would be terminated except as to the extent to which
the District has contractual obligations; that if the
protest appears to be a protest to the establishment of
the district, it will be construed as a protest to the
annual assessment, and considered in that light; that
the assessment is based on the gross receipts for some
businesses, and the data available today may not be the
most up-to-date, and information received during the hearing
may result in a slight recalculation; and that he would
expect the matter will be continued to the next regular
meeting to permit calculating the protests, at which time
a decision would be made to either establish the assessment
or determine that there will not be any assessment for
the next fiscal year.
Mayor declared the hearing opened.
Lyn Crandall , Attorney for the DBID Committee for Fair
Taxation, asked that the protest hearing be continued
to give further time for the protest procedure and mere
documents to be filed; that there have been several press
releases consistent with the Mayor's statement; that under
the law when the District was formed, the protest period
was 20-30 days, but is now considerably shorter; that
the Council has discretion to grant a longer time; that
the amount of assessment last year was $224,000, and the
protests represented $90,000, or closer to one-half of
what was actually collected and closer to the true assess-
ment; that there is a lawsuit pending on how that was
calculated last year; that a 30-day continuance would
give time to receive a more accurate notice, and recommended
the hearing be continued to November 7, 1990.
City Attorney stated that the hearing may be continued
up to 30 days, and protests received at the continued
hearing could also be considered; that the holiday season
decoration program with the DBID could be impacted, and
because of the potential protest, no order has been placed,
but the last. (late for placing an order is at. hand, and
if the matter is heard in November, it may be too late
to order them; that an assessment hearing is held each
year, and protests could cut-off the assessment.
Steven Rosen, President of the DBID objected to continuing
the hearing; and stated that Mr. Crandall has been the
attorney involved for quite some time, and should have
known that the hearing would be scheduled, and should
have been working to acquire protests; that an entire
promotion program has been designed for the District,
and the lack of assessment would stop it.

3. DBIB (Continued)
Jim Hicks, 701 N. Patencio, P.S. Now, stated that the
same battle has been fought for years; that businesses
are leaving town, and property values are stagnate; that
business people are trying to take positive steps for
improvement; that the program is dynamic and viable, and
cannot be assessed after only one year; and that honest
efforts are being donated by people who are truly concerned
about the situation.
Mary Duncan, Desert Off Road Ventures, stated that she
moved her business from Palm Desert to Palm Springs; that
an aggressive marketing approach much be taken, which
will require unity, cohesion and teamwork; that she is
concerned it will all be tossed out because of a small
pettiness; and everyone must stand together.
John Wessman, 72200 Clancy Lane, Rancho Mirage, downtown
property owner, stated that the same protests have been
made for 20 years; that the amount of money is small ,
and the opposition poisonous; that the City keeps trying
to protect downtown, but people only want the City to
do something; that if there is a protest, the City should
stop trying to help downtown, until it wakes up and does
something; and that he did not think any more time was
needed.
Wayne Dewey, Mystery Book Store, stated that he saw a
marketing plan for E1 Paseo District, and they count on
Palm Springs merchants being unorganized and in-fighting
to gain customers for themselves; that the additional
time is to change people' s minds, and he felt that that
was an indication that they do not have enough protests;
and delay will only delay programs which have already
been started.
John Kappmeyer, Robert' s Mens Wear, stated that. he also
has a store on El Pasco and is a member of that District,
and the costs are considerably higher, but they are
committed to unity and working together.
Bob Weithorn, Orchid Tree Hotel , stated that he served
on DBIA, Main Street, and now DBID and Secretary of the
Hotel Association, and he has seen years of dissension
gradually melt into cooperation; that selflessness, coopera-
tion and community are key ingredients; that he appreciated
anyone with a better idea, but not naysayers who do not
do anything themselves; that he would like others to be
reasonable, objective and do what is right for the
community; that the DBID Board meetings are open, and
its minutes available for inspection; and that people
who are opposed have not attended Board meetings.
Sheila Gratten, Gratten Advertising, 777 E. Tahquitz,
stated that her concerns relate to the way the DBID was
created, and the classificaLion for her business; Lha1.
property owners on Palm Canyon do not pay., yet benefit
from the increased property values; that all of her business
is done through referrals, and not advertising; that she
would like the concept reevaluated, and each business
assessed to benefit downtown; and that her written protest
has been filed with those to be presented by Joan Gattuso.

3. DBIB (Continued)
Joan Gattuso, Carlo' s Deli , stated that the protest is
against the District, not to pitching in with a team effort;
that opposition felt the District was not fair, and was
created in midsummer last year; that there has been very
little time again this year; that the District should
never have been formed; that last year the number of members
in the District changed from 1,000 to 613 and today it
is reported at 567, and the numbers are not straight;
she questioned if the following businesses were removed
from the count, as they are no longer in business: TCBY
Yogert, Great American Bar• & Grille, Lou Callen, Ruck
Barry Shoe collection, and 1 'Magnin; that she is not against
dollars for promoting downtown, but everyone who has a
business license gains from the assessment, and it should
not be limited to a district, nor based on gross sa-des
when people are already working hard to just pay rents;
that she has marketed the town for 27 years; that people
are afraid to sign the protest because they fear city
retribution; that there should be one group and big money.
She submitted an article from the newspaper, "Timeline"
and written protests (purportedly 260); that people are
angry because merchants are not given a fair chance, that
collection agency should not be used to collect the assess-
ment; that the written protests total about $72,000; that
very little more is needed; that corporate offices have
been contacted, but have not yet responded; and she asked
that the time extension be granted.
Kurt Handshuh, 2754 Cypress Road., stated that the DBID
has tried to work fairly with the multiple entities, i .e. ,
the VPB; and he hoped the same debate will not be on-going
in the next 20 years.
Mr. Sheibo, CPA, stated that he is included in the District
and feels their are inconsistencies in the annual report
submitted., and that proper accounting procedures might
ease some of the fears of the opposition. lie commented
on the report, and what appeared to be confusion between
figures carried forward, used to balance revenues and
expenditures, and unanswered questions about unpaid bills.
Charles Roulette, Mgr. Marquis Hotel , stated that more
could be achieved if all businesses paid the assessment;
and the entire community should be involved.
Bill Marzone, Mgr. Spa Hotel , stated that the assessment
is a token indicating unity of the people who are trying
to do something; that he took over the hotel in January,
and is one of the s'trongesI, supporters of the District..
Patrick Duffy, 261 E. Tahquitz , insurance business, stated
some of the opposition comes from the viewpoint that the
District formation was handled wrong, and that animosity
has not gone away, and the merchants have been split since
then; that he favors promoting the town, and doing so
in a manner that all can handle.
Ester Youngerman, Gaiety Deli , 448 S. Indian, commented
on the amount of money spent for a "theme ;song" and that
it could have been spent on something more worthwhile
and lasting; and asked that the additional time be granted.

3. DBIB (Continued)
Carson Collin, Jones Agency, read a letter from a production
company, indicating that $75,000 is an appropriate amount
and commensurate with the particular song (I [lad the Time
of My Life); that major corporations use songs in this
same manner; and a song writer friend of his stated that
smash hits command between $100-150,000 for song rights.
Ms. Youngerman stated that the amount paid is only for
the music rights and is to be used locally and not
nationally.
Ester Baker, Surfside Agency, a domestic employment agency,
stated that she pays the same assessment as attorneys,
doctors and CPAs, and asked if the DBID is an improvement
entity, what improvements it has made to downtown. She
commented on the number of landlords who own her building,
and the lack of allocated parking spaces, maintenance,
and lack of participation by property owners.
Ted Grofer, Executive Director for the DBID, PS Now and
Main Street, stated that there are 652 members of the
District; that the protests do not have near the 50% and
he urged that the Council proceed with the assessment;
that a handful of property owners raise $40,000 to keep
PS Now going; that the DBID is making a difference, and
is coming up with something that will recapture Palm
Springs; that the promotional concept "I Had the Time
of My Life" was an idea generated by Disney Land friend
of his; that the song has been used locally as a kick-off,
but will soon be heard in all of Southern California;
and he explained other aspects of the DBID programs maps,
gift bags, PS Life Magazine, restaurant listings,
involvement in Children's Festival evening events downtown,
and the proposed effort for the holiday cuson Ile
described the decoration program, and stated that if the
materials are not ordered within the next few days, they
will not be completed for installation after Thanksgiving;
and that the Board election has been completed, for 5
of the members whose terms expired this year.
Larry Pitts, 115 S. Indian Avenue, President of Main Street,
stated that the City keeps talking about making things
happen, and the turning things around; that the DBID is
in place and doing a good job; and that he is concerned
that if it is protested out, what it will be replaced
with; and that people who are opposed should come to the
Board meetings and get involved to get done what they
want to have happen.
Glenn Dennis, Moccasin Shop, urged that the opposition
become involved, and that everyone work together.
Carlo Gattuso, 119 S. Indian, stated that he believed
the District was headed in the right direction, but that
the District is not enough to generate the money that
is needed, and every business and professional should
contribute a specific amount as a part of the business
license; that there are hard feelings because businesses
outside of the District are promoted by money generated
within the District.
There were no further appearances.
City Attorney asked that if anyone who spoke in protest
was not included in the written protests submitted by
Mrs. Gattuso, that they advise the City Clerk of their
business address and the amount of the assessment. (Note:
No one notified the City Clerk)

3. DBID (Continued)
Councilmember Hodges stated that staff had said that there
probably would not be a protest hearing, and possibly
there has not been enough time, and she favored granting
an extension to October 30, and between that time and
November 7, the staff can calculate the protests and report
back to the Council .
Councilmember Murawski stated that he thought the song
rights were exorbitant, but was willing to participate
in the cost because it was the result of three major groups
coming together, and working together, who had never done
so before, which was very important; that the community
is in trouble, and one reason for it is because people
are not working together; that the democratic process
will result in either a pass or fail , and whichever is
the result, people will need to get together and make
Palm Springs happen, and not fight each other. He stated
that he believed everyone knew what the time and dates
were.
Mayor stated that the Council wants an accurate assessment
of what the majority of the people in the business community
want to have happen; that if everyone does not align in
the same direction, nothing will happen; that the community
is its own worst enemy, with much bickering; that: there
needs to be one goal , with one solution to achieving it;
that at some point there must be unity to achieve it;
that the burden is on the business community„ and it must
unite and come back to the Council with a decision, which
the Council will go with; that it is not a City obligation
to finance every business, yet the Council works harder
than anyone for the welfare of the business community,
and all of its directions are for that and to Find ways
for Palm Springs to Flourish; that someone has to bend
and concessions made at some point - to listen and look
at what seems to be a logical and unanimous way, and then
to move in that direction; and that he would like to allow
the time for either side to work for their cause, and
whichever way it goes, the Council will follow that.
Councilmember Murawski stated that perhaps rather than
finding more time to find more opposition, that the people
should find a way to work together, and come back and
say they want to withdraw the opposition and move ahead;
that he spent a lot of time, and took at lot. of criticism
about the visitor information center, but he did it out
of a strong belief that it will get people into the shops
downtown, and the merchants should do the same - get
together and find a way to make it happen.
Councilmember Hodges offered her time to mediate both
sides, regardless of the decision the Council will have
to make, to see if there is another way to bring everyone
together.
It was moved by Bodges, seconded by Bono, and carried
by the following vote, that the hearing be continued to
October• 30, 1990, by and during which time additional
protests and/or withdrawals of protests may be made, and
that subsequent to the hearing, the staff shall calculate
the protests, and submit report to the Council on November
7 , 1990 for a decision:
AYES: Hodges , & Bono
NO: Murawski

7. MOUNTED POLICE
Recommendation: That the Council authorize a five-year
agreement with the P.S. Mounted Police, requiring annual
parade in conjunction with the rodeo, and holding the
outstanding debt of $54,424 until it is Forgiven at the
end of the agreement term, providing another place for
the rodeo during the first and second year of the agreement,
if the Equestrian Center is not available, and requiring
payment of $5,000 to the City upon execution of the
agreement.
Acting City Manager reported that the staff was looking
for conceptual approval before proceeding with drafting
an agreement.
Director of Community Services & Promotion reported that (104-
if the concept is approved, staff will proceed with 007)
developing an agreement, which will provide a place for
the rodeo, and if the Equestrian Center is not available,
either Angel Stadium or the High School Stadium could
be considered; that the Mounted Police have a two-year
commitment in terms of the rodeo, and are willing to pay
$5,000 toward the debt this year.
Councilmember Murawski stated that two years is too long;
and the Council should not be asked to negotiate on the
use of a property it is attempting to reacquire; that
he is supportive of using the Center this year, and willing
to help them in finding a place next year, without any
particular guarantee; and that forgiving $5,000 each year
in exchange for the parade is a good solution to the debt.
Councilmember Hodges stated that she did not favor a
five-year agreement under any circumstances, and did not
favor the two year agreement given the uncertain
circumstance of the Equestrian Center; that she was
supportive of allowing the use this year, and reviewing
it again in six months for the following year, which would
permit time to evaluate the golf course situation; that
it would be nice if they could repay the debt, but it
should not be held against them, and she did not object
to forgiving the amount on an annual basis.
Mayor stated that the Mounted Police always volunteer
for search and rescue whenever they are called upon ; that
the debt should be forgiven; and that they do not have
the money; and that while the City cannot guarantee it
will find another location, it can help them in their
search.
Councilmember Broich stated that he favored forgiving (See 11/7/90
the debt, and encourages the parade and rodeo as much Minutes)
as possible, but not to find a place for them if the for correct
Equestrian Center is no longer available.
City Attorney recommended that if the Council wanted to
proceed with one year, an agreement should be prepared
covering insurance and other standard provisions for the
use of the Equestrian Center, language expressing
appreciation of the importance of the event in the
community, and a desire to continue working together,
and cancellation of the outstanding obligation.
Acting City Manager stated that the Mounted Police were
prepared to pay the $5,000 this year and still have enough
money to do the rodeo; that they were also willing to
repay the balance of the debt, but could not do that as
well as the parade.

at least 2,000 square feet; rate adjusted, in third year,

rebate. In answer to question by Council , he stated that
the right of first refusal on the remainder of the building

cooperative, and there should be no problem in signing
