REQUIREMENTS FOR PAWN SHOPS AND CHECK CASHING FACILITIES,
AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF.

2. PD 131 (WESSMAN) - APPEAL
On July 6, 1994, the Council continued hearing to consider appeal from Planning Commission
a denial of application by John Wessman for Ralph's Market to amend the uses permitted in
Building F, currently approved for a grocery store use; requested uses would permit similar
uses to those in the C-1 zone; the site is located at 1555 S. Palm Canyon; said hearing was
further continued to this date. (Note: Conflict of Interest resolved through drawing lots,
Councilmember Kleindienst to participate)
' Director of Planning&Zoning reviewed details of his revised supplemental report, a copy of
which is on file with the City Clerk, noting that the efforts of the Economic Development
Department to locate a potential lessee were separately reported in memoranda from the
Director(also on file); that the division of Building F, the exhibit to the resolution was revised
to allow dividing the building up to two spaces, and if there is a desire for a greater division, (116-
Ralph's would need to submit to the Planning Commission on a case by case basis, at no cost 012)
to the applicant.
Director of Economic Development reviewed the results of contacts to locate a market in the
building,of which there was interest,but none coming specifically forward; and that there was
a greater interest by Boney's (a specially market) however, they recently opened in Hemet,
and smaller stores move slower and expand even more slowly.
Mayor & Councilmember Lyons abstained, as previously disclosed.
Mayor pro tem declared the hearing open.
Cynthia Ludvicksen, attorney for Ralph's, stated that the company also went through the same
process as the Director of Economic Development, and was not successful in locating a
replacement market; that its leasehold value has diminished by that period of time because the
City took the position that only a supermarket was acceptable; that she understood the concern
and limitation on consignment sales, and prohibiting indoor swap meets or market places; that
Ralph's goal is to sublease to a single tenant, however, given the size the building, that may
not be possible; that a schematic was submitted showing a division of 3 spaces, which
' architecturally and functionally is workable; and that the lease provides a division up to 4
spaces.
Myra Goldwater, tenant at the complex, spoke in support of the appeal, and anything to
continue cleaning up the site and making it more attractive to potential tenants.
John Wessman, project owner, stated that he did not have a problem with either 3 or 4
divisions, and the sizes would be enough to draw from a mixed-trade standpoint; that he did
not think two was enough, and 3 should be the minimum.

2. PD 131 (WESSMAN) - APPEAL
In answer to question by Council, Director of Planning & Zoning staled that the Planning
Commission rejected the original settlement entirely; that the original proposal was up to a
division of 4, with an effort to lease to a major tenant; Ralph's has asked for three, staff had
thought four was acceptable; and that the market will direct the type of tenants that go in there.
Councilmember Hodges stated her concern was to try to find supermarket tenant, and she '
appreciated the efforts to do so; that it is clear that will not happen in the near future, and the
site should be made available for rent; that she did not have a problem with either 3 or 4
divisions, because the size would still be large, and the schematic seems feasible with 3.
In answer to question by Council, Mr. Wessman stated that the overall site has space available
for a 20,000-40,000 square foot building,which could accommodate the "Boney" type market,
and he did not have a problem with dividing Building F into 3 spaces.
Resolution 18437 overruling Planning Cormuission action,upholding[he appeal, and providing
for approval of uses/conditions,including allowing Building F to be divided up to four spaces,
was presented; after which, it was moved by Hodges, seconded by Kleindienst, and
unanimously carried, Lyons & Maryanov abstaining, that R18437 as revised be adopted.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
a) Comments concerning Item 9:
Jerry London, Gaming Task Force (GTF) member, stated that the report gave an
accurate accounting of what people could expect if they were allowed to vote on the
issue; that the Indians declined invitation to participate on the task force; that this
issue is not "out of the blue", rather the task force met 25 times; that if the voters
approve gaming, and 1-2 licenses are issued, money will come to the City to relieve
financial burden of the City; and that people should be allowed to vole and not held
hostage. He presented a letter from Dudley Gray, task fierce member, expressing
similar comments.
Karen Aguilar, President of the Board of Realtors, read a prepared statement, a copy
of which is on file with the City Clerk, indicating the results of an "open forum" of
members at a meeting this date, indicating they favor the Indian casino project,
because it is a class act run by a reputable gaming entity, bringing world class (083-
recognition to the City; but clearly opposing card rooms; and urging that if a voter 412',)
ordinance is submitted it should include future voter approval of amendments, and
stay with the criteria of a resort with a golf course, hotel, and 40 or more acres.
Ziva Hillinger, GTF, stated that a lot of important city financial decisions will be
made this year, and the people have a right to express themselves at the ballot box;
and the relationship with the Tribal Council should not be one sided.
Robert Fey, resident, agreed that the Caesar's casino would be alright, but not
cardrooms; and if the voters approve it, the voters should approve any future
amendments. He stated that he felt property values would drop by 20%, and that
Gardena barely supports 200 tables.
Ruth Blank, realtor, pleaded not to change Palm Springs and not become a Gardena
or Bell Gardens; and she supported the Casino, as a "class act" development.
Tom Pettit, GTF, stated that the Tribal Council contends it "had a deal" said if that
is true, it should be upheld, and the Council should not pursue a cardroom ordinance, ,
otherwise the Council has the right to do so and to seek a vote; that the term
"cardroom" is a misnomer, and some other description should be used; that the type
of facility is akin to European, high quality facilities; that there would have to be a
draw of$10 mullion from one site for the City to receive $1 million, and under (lie
Indian proposal, it would require a$75 million draw, to receive the same $1 million;
and that gainers are not big spenders, rather spend about 75% of that spent by [lie
average tourist.
Council Minutes
7-20-94, Page 4
John Wessman, commented on other items also, spoke in favor of the ordinance to
allow gaming in large scale resorts, and a 4/5 vote of the Council for future
amendments.
Paul Muetln (?) stated he works in Palm Springs, and if cardrooms results in risking
the Indian casino, they should not be pursued; that such a casino in mid-downtown
' would help the City to grow and generate income, and he thought downtown should
be one "mall", since it is the only thing Palm Springs has.
Darrell Meeks expressed opinion that the article in the newspaper was a planned
effort to intimidate the Council, and that the Tribe wants its casino in Palm Springs
and not elsewhere; that Councilmember Hodges asked several times in the past if the
agreement with the Indians in anyway would stop the City from having gaining, and
the answer was no; that the City's success should not be based on revenue from the
tribal council, rather from business in Palm Springs; and that the ordinance should
not be postponed and it should be added to the November ballot.
Phil Bennett, GTF, stated that big, classy gaming casinos is what is being suggested,
not card clubs; that gaming will be in Palm Springs whether the ordinance is passed;
that the Indians can have any game that is legal; that the City can do likewise, if the
ordinance is passed, and can share in the profits that can come from two private
casinos downtown,which would enhance each other; that the task force recommended
something it felt could be accepted or rejected, but was for the betterment of the
community;that the Indian effort could hurt getting the ordinance passed; and that the
task force feels the Council should move forward and assist the City and the citizens
with it.
Mark Bragg, Shadowrock, stated that perhaps some realtors and voters do not
understand what is being considered; that it is not card rooms; that his project could
be the first, with a Monte Carlo, upscale, and expensive style facility, and the
ordinance only grants the right to apply for a use permit; and that the hearing and
approval process would result in varied regulations and conditions.
Eric Meeks, also commented on other matters, supported cardrooms, and felt it was
a "buying chip" for the Council; that the Tribe has a right to Class III on its land but
should not stop others from gaming; that exclusivity stops business in Palm Springs;
and that he would like to see the hotel height limit lifted, which would add hotel
rooms and provide jobs; and that more competition with the Indians could result in
more building by them.
Diane Steiner, resident, stated she opposed gambling, but recognized its value in
terms of revenue and growth, and ancillary enhancements; that perhaps the Council
should take an askew look at it in terms of image to be projected; and that a first-
class, well-run facility might draw new-people and money, to fill restaurants, and
shops.
Myra Goldwater, who also commented on other items, stated she favors the Indian
Casino, and not a lot of volume,just the best.
b) The following persons spoke concerning Item 5:
Ed Kibbey, Building Industry Association, Desert Chapter, stated that the fee is not
a mitigation, however, there are concerns that the requirement should apply to all
residential, not just one unit in excess of$100,000 valuation; and that if the art piece (103-
is provided and installed, the private owner should not have to maintain it, as is the 001)
' case if a developer simply pays the fee.
c) The following persons spoke concerning Item 7:
Jim Schlecht, attorney for several property owners in Palm Hills, stated that a
substantial amount of property was acquired in anticipation of the completion of the
General Plan; that it now appears those expectations can move toward development
program for the area; and that the Peninsular Plan would devastate any effort by the
City to develop the area. He stated that language of the resolution should be
stronger, as it appears to suggest the concept is a noble idea.
Council Minutes

c) Continued
Rick Stevens, representing the Lovekins, spoke in support of the staff's analysis and
recommendation to oppose the plan.
John Wessman stated lie was a member of a committee involved in the conservation
effort, and they do not want to see any development in Palm Hills, and the: Council ,
needed to be very careful as to what it supports.
i d) The following persons spoke concerning Item 10:
Bob Kieler, Cybernetics and Rick Bicherano (?), Vomar, each commented on their
bid, and in favor of awarding the contract to their firm.
e) The following persons spoke on matters not related to an agenda item:
Dick Sroda, resident, challenged the Mayor's response to an article in the newspaper
comparing costs between cities, and stated that an independent survey is not involved
in the results of the survey, and he considered it poor judgement to assign a city
employee the task of evaluating it. He made continents similar to those be has
previously stated as to the employees being paid more than the average resident; and
asked how much will be taken from city department heads and managers.
The following city employees spoke, commenting on the nature of their jobs, their
willingness to educate and train themselves at their own expense and time; their
dedication to the City and the community; the quality of work; and asked that the
Council give them consideration and appreciation for what they do:
Steven Kramer, print shop, noting that the 1990 census is being quoted as $20,000
average income, but does not exclude seasonal, or fixed income persons, and if only
the general unit employee is considered, a true comparison in 1990 dollars would '
$24,069, and the point is job worth, not job pay.
Beth Anlriser, Wastewater Treatment Plant,noting certificates of technical skill levels
are required to operate the treatment plant, and employees have obtained those on a
voluntary basis, at their own expense.
Sandy Bensteder, police department, noted that employees gave back$1 million last
year in reduced benefits, and many thousands of hours in extra, uncompensated time;
that other professionals would not be asked to work for below wages, and expect the
care and concern and extra effort of them.
Dana Rascon and Cindy Kane, business license section, commented on their pride in
working for the City and in doing a good job.
Ed , Airport, suggested the Council spend a day in each department to see what
employees really do.
Jim MacClean, fire, expressed concern about statements that employees are overpaid,
i.e., fire, and that a June, 1994 survey of neighboring cities, showed that every fire
position from firefighter to chief was paid less, ranging from 9.5% to 14.17%, and
that Palm Springs only has a 2-matt engine company compared to 3-man in a
neighboring city; and that facts should be checked before making such statements.
Maria Trask, community service preservation, stated she has been on a layoff list
three times, and it is difficult to work under those circurnstances; that others have ,
been laid off and remaining employees are picking up what they can; and she favored
a "status quo" and added that moral is not getting any better.
Myra Goldwater, resident, stated she favored the City and its leadership, and many
accusations from little people have been made along the way, and she was proud of
those who serve the City.
Council Minutes
7-20-94, Page 6
Fred Ebeling, resident, stated that he thought Mr. Sroda was misunderstood, and that
the pay for employees is not the issue, rather a parity with seniors, and the question
is who pays those salaries. He also suggested an ombudsman or hotline to help
people find help.
Eric Meeks, who also commented on other matters, stated that a salary comparison
' of Palm Springs to others is just as fair as one conducted by someone else; that the
police department is being "picked on" and it should not take pay cuts that anyone
else is not taking.
Mayor stated that am analysis is being prepared of the figure reported in the
newspaper, which were erroneous in that it purported to compare Palm Desert and
Palm Springs based on population, however, Palm Desert recently completed an
annexation of 14,000 people and it will have to gear up to serving that added
population;that he felt the Council valued its employees, and had no complaint about
what they do.
Councilmember Reller-Spurgin stated employees did a fine job in their coming
forward, and the Council appreciates them, even though they may not think so, and
the Council is trying to settle everything.
At the conclusion of the meeting, Councilmember Kleindienst also expressed
appreciation for the employees, and valued their work for the City, noting that he has
spent time in the various departments to familiarize himself, and will continue to do
SO.

aspects in Title 2 of the Code, along with other boards and commissions; and the remainder 001)
in Title 3; and responded to question by Council, that to accommodate Mr. Kibbey's concerns,
the Building Department has agreed to collect this fee at the time of occupancy permit, rather
than at the time of permit issuance; and that the $100,000 was established as the threshold,
which would produce $250, and would not be excessive to require at the time of permit
