Home My WebLink About5/4/2005 - STAFF REPORTS (24) Timothy G. Albert 2241 N. Leonard Road Palm Springs, CA 92262-2721 760.322.7263 Talbert@dc.rr.com Wednesday, May 4, 2005 Good Evening Mayor Oden and City Council members: My name is Tim Albert and I am before you tonight to talk to you about my support for the City's proposed Neighborhood Services Program and in keeping with this week's celebration of Public Service Week, some of the city's staff. Since the CCNO organized around 2 years ago, the group has had many dealings with the staff in Code Enforcement. About a year ago our neighborhood was dealing with a motor home than appeared to become grounded and a permanent part of the real estate in the area. My personal discussions with Dirk Voss on this matter gave him the information needed to be instrumental in coordinating with our Police Department and Officer Combs on this matter. Within a reasonable period of time the motor home was once again mobile and gone from our sights. Dirk's department once again came to our call for a clean up of The Bahamas. This lead allowed this city to come to the realization that The Bahamas category as a hotel and/or apartment complex was in question. Another realization was that the city was losing out on TOT revenue. This resulted in a court case which was recently resolved to what appears to be for everyone's benefit. Dlrk's work with CCNO to target The Bahamas was exemplary of his understanding the neighbor's concerns about crime and safety within our village to target a very troubled section of the city and to hold an absentee property owner accountable for their derelict properties on North Palm Canyon, the gateway to our village. Although it's not at 100% yet with the Bahamas, we've seen some great improvement, due to these coordinated efforts! I request that this council implement the City's Neighborhood Services Program as well as lift the freeze on the vacant code compliance officer position. We must improve our efforts of this part of our city's government. I submit to you that if we fully enforce the codes as presently written that we will have the lead on crime. Fail to fully enforce, then the neighborhoods deteriorate, crime moves in and due to our under staffed police department—the criminals will take over like the locust of Africa brought down the plane in the movie, Flight of The Phoenix, ed ivt r rs Strong Code Enforcement as I have experienced is a very positive example of a new approach that the City can embrace, a "Win-Win" for both government and neighborhoods,working together for a stronger and safer community. As part of Public Service Week celebration, let me move on to inform you of some super staff members here working daily within this building_ In a recent matter concerning a 500% increase in my fees to park at our airport, Kathie Hart and Cindy Berardi where instrumental in my bringing to the city clerk, city attorney and city manager's attention a situation which allowed the city to prevent a violation of the Brown Act by the Airport Commission. Like the pins, that they all.wear .this week: states "Together we make a Difference"—and they do!

S. - (760) 864-4181 5-04-05 Where to begin with this penny wise and pound foolish, fuzzy Enron-style accounting?l 1. You do not waive a small fee for the 10& anniversary for the Salton Sea (5.A) because of quote, the "budget deficit", and immediately in 5.C, you lavish MILLIONS of dollars for an over-priced airport project. This is similar to the way the Council lavished MILLIONS on the Convention Center then, in their inimitable chicken style, did not waive a lousy $75 fee for a peace exhibit_ By the way, where's the solar component in the Convention Center? In the copper fascia? 2. Then we have the innocuous fee for Luke-Dudek to perform a part of the EIR for a huge development on Gene Autry and Ramon. Didn't you hear?The town of Rosemead in Los Angeles stopped th,,rg Super WalMart in mid-construction, and 2 City Council members lost their seats`They have to mass-grade, and require high water usage, too. 7> What if the#%n't pass the EIR? * r-�5�cm - 1 have seen otherwise intelligent-looking people in the audience here, snicker in ignorance, when DOCTOR Jane Smith warns of the health hazards of Valley Fever, which is on the rise since the mass grading of the desert is in full swing. My partner just died of it. A young woman living near Gene Autry and Vista Chino is seriously ill. This fungus is delivered with the PM 10 and PM 2.5 we breathe. This is serious folks. It is listed as a reportable disease to the Center of Disease Control because it is equated as a bioterrorism agent on a par with Anthrax! It affects, us, our pets, the Bighorn sheep— everything that breathes. Those who are sticking their heads in the sand will be the first to get it. 3. Then there are the monetary pension plans. Does anyone in the audience understand why, and how, and from where, these funds come, and where they go? How about explaining it to the people who pay for it? Mayor Dick Murphy of San Diego had to step down because of such a probe. 4. And speaking of paying for things, where do you get off promoting the DWA to purchase, without our permission, our only income-producing asset (to pay for the mismanagement of this city's funds, for years)with the tax savings this city granted to them?They would buy our paid-for-by-us asset that we own, without our permission, with our money. Talk about Enron-style accounting. Who's "confused", Mayor Oden? You had best rescind your vote to support this. 5. On 3.A, will the Water facility be on the November ballot?And will they conduct the same kind of immature, arrogant, obstructionist, deliberately confusing campaign as they did on our recent ballot issues? � 6. is violation of the law, that the public must vote on the sale of its public utility, This all sounds like a conspiracy, or collusion, to us.....
