Gary Bosworth, stated that there is a good transition house for people to move into , their own housing, but it must remain affordable. Alan Bayrak stated that rent control is not a freeze on rents; that owners can recover expenses; that he felt 80-85% of those under rent control are under allowable rents because the market does not warrant a higher amount; that he contended Councilmember Kleindienst has a conflict of interest, and would be serving his own financial interest to vote on this matter; that if it goes to ballot, a suit will be filed; that the existing ordinance does not allow the Council to diminish anything in the ordinance, and he felt that placing it on the ballot is all attempt to diminish it; that there have not been any hearings, and he felt due process was not followed:; that the task force was also a breach of due process, in that he felt it should have been appointed by the elected officials, and one of its members present; that the committee never met and so it has not made a suggestion the Council can act on; that the action has caused needless anxiety for people who feel threatened) they will be forced into the street if rent control is eliminated; that four members of the Council supported rent control when they ran for office; and that he felt there were a number of groups prepared to help defeat it, and to put into place an even stronger rent control ordinance. Darrell Meeks stated that if a task force was created to work on this subject, the Council should wait for its results before action to place the issue on the ballot. Sid Phillips stated that the community has gone through this issue twice, and there is a widespread organization forming to make certain rent control remains. ' Ronnie Armato (?) stated it is not important to have a vote, but that people be informed, and the task force should be used to do that; that landlords arc gauging on commercial properties, which causes businesses to go elsewhere. Man (name inaudible) S. El Cielo, stated that there is no urgency for placing the matter on the ballot, and it should only be done through a voter initiative. Fred Ebeling and John Wyser offered similar comments, adding that those who want it on the ballot should collect the signatures to make that happen. Betty Tuminello stated rent control should be retained as it ts; that gaming will attract more business which will require more service workers,who need affordable housing. Ed Joseph stated that placing the measure on the ballot will divide the City; that the community is beginning to prosper again;that he supported[lie voter initiative process to make changes; that the Commission and the task force have been by-passed; that gaming will bring different kinds of entrepreneurs; that differences between landlords and tenants should be worked out and there should be a forum for doing so. Peter Shapiro staled that the constitutionality of rent control has been upheld by both the State and U.S. Supreme Courts; and the only way to change rent control is through the initiative process. The following persons spoke in favor of placing the rent control issue on the ballot: ' Jim Jones (a large number of persons in the audience stood in support of his comments), stated that the Council stated in March that it would be too confusing for the matter to be on the June ballot, and should be considered later; that the Council should act to do so now; that lie met with staff members to talk about how Housing funds are being used, and with SCE concerning a better way to provide notice when service is to be terminated; and that the rent control matter should be on the ballot, as a vote for the City's future. Council Minutes 8-3-94, Page 3 Myra Goldwater, Realtor, stated that housing needs are a matter for the entire conununity and not a few landlords, and it should relate to need, not age; that it should be addressed, and taxed accordingly; that property values have been reduced in Palm Springs, and lax revenue decreased, thereby not being able to address people's needs; that there is no industry which limits profits because someone may think it is not fair; that business people take the risk, and get what they can; and that ' there are numerous vacancies, and the rent control should be eliminated. Bob Cook stated that rent control does not do what its proponents claim; that the area of Cottonwood and Chuckwalla has become a slum, because owners cannot afford to maintain the properties with low rental rates, leading to further deterioration and undesirable rentals, e.g., large numbers of people in single apartments, drained pools, stolen water from garden hoses, sofas and trash in the yards, broken glass; that vacancies hold down the ability to even charge what is allowed under rent control; that rental owners purchase their properties to make money, not to provide housing; that seniors and low income persons can be subsidized by the goverment; and that properly values have declined under rent control. Dory Brown stated that placing the matter on the ballot only means the people have an opportunity to vote on it; that she felt the current ordinance is outdated; that a 3/4 cost of living adjustment is ridiculous; that she considered the Rent Commission review process for hardship increase a joke; that there is no incentive in the ordinance for capital improvement, when there is no guarantee that the investor will get a reasonable return on the investment; and that landlords have rights, also. Karen Aguilar, President of the Board of Realtors, stated that she was appointed as a member of the task force which was conceived in March, but did not materialize until they started asking for the matter to be on the ballot again; that she did not think the task force means that everyone will be informed; that its members are 50-50 favor/opposed; that she felt the Rent Conunission was pro-rent control, and perhaps ' there should be sonic landlords on it to represent another side, because she felt it seemed to be very slanted; and that the plea is only to let the people make the decision. Tony Aguilar stated that realtors in California are strictly governed by State laws, and full disclosure is required, otherwise the person may lose their license and be fined; that everyone will not be pleased with the decision; and that the Council must do what is best for the majority of the community, and it should place the matter on the ballot. Lucille ?, stated that rent control takes the rights of one person and gives them to another, and the matter should be voted on. c) The following persons spoke concerning Item 11: Alan Hendricks, Parks&Golf Course employee, commended the "in-house"proposal for parks maintenance, and asked that the Council not be misled as to the quality of service that a contract firm will provide. John Connell stated he was asked to find a firm to submit au RFP; that Technical Services International can meet all of the criteria, with an "A" rating; that lie favors (109- contracting the parks service; and that TSI proposal would save nearly $900,000 003) depending on how the "differentials" are figured, and that it will work 7 days per week; that it has $500,000 in inventory and $124,000 in new state of the art equipment; and that the RFP should be placed before a qualified group of business people in the community to look at the proposals from a business viewpoint. Jeannette Garcia, Parks & Golf Course employee, stated that the utility lax was approved by the voters as a support of the parks; and that she felt a great deal of pride in doing a good job for the City, and the Council should think about not giving away city jobs. Council Minutes 8-3-94, Page 4 d) Lee Vinocour stated that there is always some kind of saefidice going on, which he felt comes from ignorance that there is not enough for evet.yone, nd there would be win-wins; and that there will be drugs, nd crime with gaming; nd the citizen's input is rebuked by the Council. Mayor declared a brief recess; after which, the Council reconvened, and at this point Councilmember Reller-Spurgin joined the meeting. ' LEGISLATIVE ITEMS: 6. GAMING Consideration of site-specific ordinance, possible ballot measure, and other related matters. City Manager reported that there have been a number of meetings with the Tribal Council, and one issue is being considered by the Tribal Council, and it would like an opportunity to continue its consideration for one week. (083- 012) It was the consensus of the Council that every avenue should be explored, and the Tribal Council respected for taking the time needed; and that this meeting be adjourned to August 10; after which, it was moved by Reller-Spurgin, seconded by Lyons, and unanimously carried, that this subject be continued to August 10, 1994. 7. RENT CONTROL Consideration of placing an ordinance on the November ballot to remove apartments, condominiums and certain single-family residences from rent control, so only mobilehome parks shall continue to be subject to rent control. City Attorney reported that a possible ordinance to repeal rent control, except to apply to mobilehome parks, was prepared, and a number of issues raised, i.e.: a) the existing ordinance ' approved by the voters contains a condition that the Council may not diminish the affect of the ordinance, but may amend it to enhance it, and a suggestion that placing it on the ballot would be a violation of that condition and that the Council does not have the legal authority to do so, and that the Council may be sued; that he could not guarantee it, but felt strongly that a court would not uphold that contention, and that the Council has the ability to place the matter on the ballot, in that its action is not an amendment of the ordinance, rather it would be either approved or rejected by the voters; that the initiative process allows a measure to come to the ballot either by voter petition, or by the Council's own action, arid[ it is clear that in has the (083•- authmity to place a matter without a signature petition; and that .if other amendments are 012) desired, there should be discussion, to enable preparing an appropriate ordinance for the next meeting. Councilmember Kleindienst stated this issue was raised in March by the Council and postponed so it did not confuse the June election issues; that the "just Say Yes" committee was willing to actively support it and the other two measures, however, the Council chose not to place the question on the June ballot; and his intent in raising the issue was to place it on the November ballot so people could decide how they feel about rent control; that regarding a potential conflict of interest, he discussed the matter with the City Attorney during the recess, and in the intervening week, it will be investigated and reported back on August 10. Councilmember Lyons stated that there have been conflicting statetnients, i.e., that the voters approved the rent control, but that the Council should not put it on the ballot; that gaming is going to turn around the economy, yet when and if it will happen is unknown; that the Council's honor is at stake - in that because there was once no reason to change it, did not mean there would never be a need to change the ordinance; that he favored retaining rent , control on mobilehome parks because of the big investments that mobilehome owners make; that many studies have shown that rent control impacts property values, and resales; that there are concerns that gouging landlords will take advantage and increase rents on those who cannot afford increase, and that concern should be addressed; and that he favored a provision included which allowed vacancy decontrol, where the rent would remain subject to rent control, until the unit is vacated by the current occupant. n �. P Council Minutes 8-3-94, Page 5 7. RENT CONTROL (Contimmed) Councilmember Reller-Spurgin stated that she did not believe anyone on the Council wanted to see an abuse of the elderly, disabled or single-aged; that what is fair for one is fair for all; that she agreed on vacancy decontrol, mud considered it fair to both sides; and that people should not support a ballot measure just because they think it is alright, but reject the voter process when they do not like the issue. Councilmember I-lodges stated that after serving on the Rent Control Commission, she has been an advocate of rent control, and still favors it; that she favors it for mobilehome parks and for all tenants covered by rent control; that she did not think vacancy decontrol was a solution, rather that the Council's direction was for a task force, and was sorry that it was not dealt with sooner, mainly due to being overwhelmed and consumed by the budget considerations, however, she would like the task force assembled and see what it might come up with; that she felt there are changes that need to be made, and there are areas that could be addressed to make it more fair for both sides; and she would like to see that process followed. Councilmember Reller-Spurgin stated that a meeting was scheduled, but canceled because of posting requirements, and she asked that it meet before August 10, and perhaps it could develop a compromise. She also stated that if a unit is currently vacant, it should immediately be decontrolled, and not subject to payment of[he registration fee. Mayor stated that the housing situation throughout the State has changed in the last ten years; that housing funds set aside in each project area have helped meet housing needs; that subsidized and affordable housing is available for the disadvantaged;that the need is not totally met, but has been substantially addressed; that the inventory of apartment and rental housing is very large right now, and he has questions as to the continuance of rent control on those; that the free-enterprise system is contrary to regulating prices of any industry; that there are times when rent control is needed, i.e., in mobilehome parks, where there is a large financial investment by the mobilehome owner, and the mobilelome is not "mobile" and very costly to relocate; that the housing stock is looked at annually, and the Council has looked at projects which stimulate affordable housing; that he was concerned about the speed of doing this right now, but felt it should be on the ballot, and it is a basic question of should there, or should there not, be rent control on apartment units; that if the task force meets, he would like to see it address the transition phase-either as a result of repeal, or from vacancy decontrol; and that he would like to see the Board of Realtors offer to pay for the cost of putting the measure on the ballot. It was moved by Reller-Spurgin, seconded by Lyons, and unanimously carried, Kleindienst abstaining, that this subject be continued to August 10, 1994. It was consensus of the Council that the issue of phasing, and budget impact on the Rent Control Commission and division be examined, with report back to the Council. It was moved by Reller-Spurgin, seconded by Lyons, and carried by the following vote, that the City Attorney prepare the necessary ordinance and election materials for a November ballot, to include option for vacancy decontrol, and to be returned with the initial option, at the August 10 meeting: AYES: Lyons, Reller-Spurgin & Maryanov NO: Hodges ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: Kleindienst ' 8.

EVENTS PARTNERSHIP (Continued) that the group's focus is city-wide, and participants are not required to be members of the Chamber of Commerce; that staff costs will be provided through the use of flex time, and reduced overtime, and the difference being that the priority will be a part of the work schedule, rather than an addition. Councilmember Kleindienst stated that the group must know that it has a secure green light to proceed in order to retain a coordinator. It was moved by Reller-Spurgin, seconded by Lyons, and unanimously carried, that the presentation concept be approved; that the City Manager be authorized to issue 1-clay business licenses, with ordinance amendment and other appropriate agree:inents/documents to be presented for approval. 9. NOT USED 10. P.S. MARKET FAIR FEES &.R/W DEDICATION Consideration of action related to fees and street dedication for the P.S. Market Fair Project on E. Ramon Road at Crossley. City Manager reported that this approach was discussed on the June; 8 study session, in that the plan reduces the fees to the developer and replaces the shortfalls to the various funds with tax increment from the Redevelopment Agency; that the shortfall its $92,686, exclusive of appeals to other agencies concerning the fringe-toed lizard and TUMF fees; and that the shortfall would be repaid through the tax increment over six years. He stated that there is also an issue concerning street dedication, in that it is required under the conditional use permit, but cannot be exacted, and is a matter on appeal to the Tribal Council. In answer to questions by Council, City Manager stated that the developer will install (119- improvements, but the dedication will not be made; and that he recommended that the Council 001,1 ' waive its right to a joint hearing with the Tribal Council on the appeal; that the easement will be granted for the term of the leasehold, and ultimately the right.-of-way may have to be purchased. He added that "exactions" will be part of the discussion at a proposed Council work session on September 24. It was moved by Reller-Spurgin, seconded by Hodges, and unanimously carried, that the concept of using tax increment to pay fee deferential of $92,686 (through year six), and to waive the City Council's right to a joint meeting with Tribal Council regarding the appeal from street dedication requirement, be adopted. 11. PARKS MAINTENANCE Consideration of RFP for contractual parks maintenance service. City Manager stated that if the Council favors privatizing the service, it should direct that the staff come back on September 7 with an agreement for approval, and to meet and confer with employees during the interim. Engineering Manager reviewed the memorandum of the Director of(public Works, noting that proposals were solicited from 86 firms, of which 10 responded, and that each was weighted (109- based on: service level, cost, background and expertise, references, equipment, and local 003) participation; that only two of the ten provided the information to enable the decision to be made; that an in-house proposal was also developed, and although it provides a much broader coverage through control and schedule assignment, the potential for continued excellence in ' service, the annual savings through a contractual arrangement requires a recommendation to approve contracting with Landscape West. He stated that the real savings for the first year is negligible, however, annual thereafter, the true savings will be in years 2 through 5. n1 �.1 (ti Council Minutes 8-3-94, Page 7 11. PARKS MAINTENANCE (Continued) Councilmember Hodges stated that she did not know if she had specific questions, because there was not enough information to question; that this is a major decision and major policy change for the City; that there was no technical information in the staff report, nor documentation as to what the figures relate to; that she felt the issue was not looked at in a ' business manor; that she received a copy of the John Connell referenced proposal and questioned why it was not considered; that she suggested that since this is a major policy issue, it be looked at by the Citizens Finance task force, which is a group of business people, and make a recommendation of the RFP from a business viewpoint. Councilmember Lyons opposed the suggestion, and stated he felt staff is qualified to make such recotmnendations more so than a citizens committee who has no expertise going through an RFP; that he reviewed his concerns in detail with the Engineering Manager, the Purchasing Manager, and the Director Parks & Golf Coarse, and satisfied himself that the figures were right; that someone else coming into the process after the RFPs were submitted, skews the process. Councilmember Hodges stated that she was not suggesting looking at additional bids or changes in those being considered, rather that staff has the expertise in dealing with in-house management, but it should be looked at from a business point of view, and staff are not business people; that this is a major step, and she felt the staff, the citizens finance and Council finance conunittees could work together and develop a recommendation from a business point of view. Mayor stated that the citizens finance committee was not set up to review RFPs, rather policies and procedures of the Council; that he had no problem with continuing this matter for the Council to look at the documentation; that it is a policy decision whether to contract with a private firm, or to stay in-house; and that he felt the decision should be made within a week. ' City Manager stated that if the conclusion is to remain in-house, there would be no reason to meet and confer; and that the TSI proposal was looked at, and perhaps Mr. Connell might like to look at staff's conclusion. City Attorney stated that it is not necessary for the Council to direct the meet and confer process, rather that it will be followed if the Council wants to privatize the service; and that the decision would be whether to make the final decision, and if there is a proposal to be considered, or if more time is desired. Mayor stated that he thought more time was being suggested to look at which contractor to use. City Manager stated that by the following week the Council should be prepared to act on the RFP, and September 7 would be the time for getting back to the Council with an agreement and the results of the meet and confer. Councilmember Hodges stated that if it is not to be reviewed by the finance task force, she was willing to make a decision at this time. Councilmember Kleindienst noted the figures in the report dealing with allocations for special events and projects provides a big cushion to reduce the loss of in-house staff. Mayor added that marry special events occur outside of the downtown area, and are included under the same umbrella of "special events" or "special projects" and whatever is not spent is a non-expenditure, or "profit." ' In answer to question by Council, City Engineer stated that three of the twenty-seven parks staff will be retained, for the specialized services noted in the report; that die contractor would use its own vehicles. Landscape West representative stated that it supplies its own vehicles, and has offered to purchase mowers, vacuums and small rakes from the City;that it would be willing to interview existing employees, and possibly offer them jobs; that no promise can be made that all will be hired, but an effort will be made. n i `l . Council Minutes 8-3-94, Page 8 II. PARKS MAINTENANCE (Continued) City Attorney stated that this is part of the meet and confer process, and the contractor needs to know that there are contract negotiations that will take place; and that the Council might indicate an acceptance of the proposal, recognizing there will be clarification and possible adjustments. Councilmember Reller-Spurgin stated that the change in policy is needed because the,Council ' has a responsibility to save $4 million over the next 3 years, and this must be clone to obtain that goal. Mayor noted that the savings over four years will be about $1 million. In answer to question by Council, Director of Aviation stated that the parks worker positions at the Airport will be retained. In answer to question by Council, Director of Parks, Recreation&Golf Course stated that one city was visited which is served by both contractors. City Engineer added that the prices are fixed for three years, with a renegotiation for the two additional yours. It was moved by Reller-Spurgin, seconded by Lyons, and unanimously carried, that the parks and parkways maintenance be provided through private contract. It was moved by Lyons, seconded by Kleindienst, and carried by the following vole, that the City Manager continue negotiations with Landscape West, looking toward a final contract to be presented in September: AYES: Hodges, Kleindienst, Lyons and Maryanov NO: Reller-Spurgin ABSENT: None 12.
