Minutes of the last meeting July 13, 1973 were read and approved Motion by Mary K. Van de Mark, seconded by Eve Ownbey that starting on September 7th meetings will be held on the First and Third Fridays of the month, at the same time, 7.30 A. M. Comment by Sherman Smith that no distinction be made between the North and South side in conversation or publicity. Palm Desert is to be considered as one contiguous area. Warren Bailey, Membership Chairman, introduced guests which included Mrs. Jean Benson, a candidate for the City Council, Genevieve Burke who will be in charge of the drive for registrations beginning Sept- ember 4th, Madgamanda Mallory, a new Precinct Chairman and Barney Miller, the new manager of the Palm Desert Chamber of Commerce. Rheo Lawman, the precinct chairman for 4 precincts, was belatedly introduced much to the embarrassment of the Membership Chairman. Barney Miller announced that the Chamber of Commerce will have a special breakfast meting on Wednesday morning August 15th at Sambo's honoring the People to People Ambassadors who have just returned from their European trip. The public is invited to attend. Mr. Miller also told about the Annual Golf Cart Parade to be held on October 6th and invited the Incorporation Committee to enter a cart. Chairman Hubbard stated that the original Feasibility Study made-0y LAFCO has been up -dated and indicates new estimated revenue of $514,396 for the first fiscal year as compared to $ 445,055as previously esti- mated. Estimated expenses have been reduced from $402,000 to $390,000 indicating a surplus of $ 144,396. The new study again confirms that there should be no necessity for a city property tax. If the voters approve incorporation on November 6th, City revenues will accrue from approximately December 6th, 1973 until the start of the fiscal year on July 1, 197't thereby creating a reserve of about $50,000 to get the new city off to a good start. Jack Macfadyen, Public Relations Chairman, said that two Ladies lunch- eons were held at Sandy's Restaurant with 12 attending the first lunch- eon and 36 attending, the second. As a result of these meetingF; a Palm Desert Town Meeting is being planned by the Junior Women of Palm Desert for October 5th 1973 at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church.

Joan Wyman, Jccrctary Palm Desert Incorporation Committee Meeting April 13, 1973 The regular meeting of the Palm Desert Incorporation Committee was called to order by the Chairman, C. Robert Hubbard, at 7:30 A. M. on April 13, 1973, at Sambo's Restaurant. See sign -in register for members and guests present. Reading of minutes of last meeting dis- pensed with, due to absence of Secretary, Joan Wyman. Warren Bailey, Vice Chairman, reported that he and Ralph Adams, Chair- man of Land Owners Signature Committee, had gone to Riverside on April 12th with all of the petitions and a list of the signers, approximately 2,265 individuals, partnerships and/or corporations owning property within the proposed incorporation boundaries. The total assessed land value figure was $3,869,413. Both signatures and assessed valuation exceed the requirements by 29.3% and 30.5% respectively. Resignations had been received by three members of the Incorporation Committee; namely, Chuck Aston, Robin Barrett and Robert H. Ricciardi. It was moved by Ralph Adams and seconded by Jack MacFadyen that these resignations be accepted. Vote unanimous. Ed Benson, Co-chairman Finance Committee, reported as follows: Income and Expenses thru April 12, 1973 . . . Donations, $7,992 (from 108 individuals) , and Expenses, $2,410.37 . . . leaving a bank balance of $5,521.63. Copies of this report were distributed to all members present. Chairman Hubbard asked that all members and the Press urge qualified people to consider running for office on the City Council. He stressed the importance of a well balanced slate of vitally interested and far- sighted people. Discussion followed with substantiating ideas from Phil Boyd and Judge Eyman, each suggesting that we talk with qualified parsons and ask them to come forward . . . maybe running a series of newspaper articles in September to encourage them. Discussion regarding recessing the monthly meetings until the fall resulted in the consensus of opinion that we continue with the morning breakfast meetings, the second Friday of each month, with the exception of perhaps July and August. Chairman Hubbard asked for volunteers . . . or that we all be endeavor- ing to find the right person to conduct the campaign for members of the new Council. Judge Eyman, who has had much experience with cam- paigns, offered his services to assist but not to chair the campaign. Eve Ownbey suggested that registrations for voting (new and/or changes) be taken at the Board of Realtors. Other suggestions were at the local banks, the post office, and maybe super markets. Bob Callender re- minded us that we must get the new voters, the eighteen year olds . . . perhaps getting them to vote absentee since they will be away at school. It was also suggested by Anthony Kane that we have some posters in store fronts reminding owners to register and to vote. Page 2, Incorporation Conmittee Meeting, April 13, 1973 Mary Stokes, Chairman of the womens' volunteer service, didn't think that women should be asked to staff the Incorporation Office for the following four months, since there will really be nothing for them to do. It was suggested by Phil Boyd that we have an answering ser- vice that could answer any telephone inquiries from a prepared sheet . and possibly mail the sheets to callers if requested. It was moved by Cliff Henderson, and seconded by Cartwright Hunter, that we have such answering service. Motion carried. Discussion regarding publicity . . . it was suggested that Joe Benes do a re -run at a later date of the TV commentary. A report by Jack MacFadyen, Publicity Chairman, concerned bumper stickers. He had samples from a local source and prices of same. Anthony Kane also has a connection in the city and will obtain samples and prices. Discussion as to whether the stickers should be given at no coat, or at a price, or on a donation basis, resulted in a majority vote that they should be on the donation basis. It was moved by Anthony Kane and seconded by Cartwright Hunter that an amount of $500 should be expended for bumper stickers. A committee, under the chairmanship of Jack MacFadyen, will follow through. Warren Bailey paid a tribute to both Mr. and Mrs. Jack MacFadyen for r.their constant dedication to the incorporation effort thus far. Chairman Hubbard welcomed new attendants, Mr. Calkins and Mr. Richardson. Meeting was adjourned promptly at 9:00 A. M.

Hardin Ed Benson Gloria Greer, Press Doug Brown, Press Hal Gillespie - Fairway Cottages 1. Andrew J. Eyman, retired San Francisco Superior Court Judge, now a full time P.D. resident, was elected co-chairman of Governmental Study Committee. Any further suggestions for co-chairman should be directed to Warren Bailey. 2. Unanimously approved to spend up to $100.00 for maps of proposed area. 3. In the future, any committee chairman can approve expendi- tures up to $25.00 without obtaining executive committee approval. 4. Duane Wheeler reported that the total assessed valuation within the proposed P. D. incorporation area was$31,126,731. This compares with total of $35,000,000 for the combined P. D. and Rancho Mirage area in 1970. 5. Mr. Hubbard outlined the necessary steps to be followed since approval by LAFCO. a. Petition signed by at least 25 but not more than 50 property owners to be in by 12/5/72. b. If Board of Supervisors approve petition at 12/5/72 meeting, at least 25% of the assessed land valuation (by amount, - which is between $10 million and $11 million dollars) and 25% of the land owners by number must sign petitions requesting an election. These petitions must be in within 120 days after Board of Supervisors approval. c. It was unanimously approved that we suggest a date of election to the Board of Supervisors to be early in November 1973. 6. Mr. Hubbard pointed out that under the required procedure the earliest possible election date from a 12/5/72 approval would be 6/6/73, therefore, the Board thought it wise to use the normal allotted time limit of 311 days and ask for a November 1973 election. 7. Messrs. Hubbard and Wheeler explained that our petition to the property owners would have to indicate a form of city government, namely, a. b. c. d. at large. by districts (boroughs). and have the charter provide together with an elected city clerk and an elected treasurer. 5 councilmen to be elected 5 councilmen to be elected 5 councilmen to be elected for a city manager. 5 councilmen to be elected Only two of the 412 incorporated California cities have (b.) and it was moved by Ted Smith and seconded by Warren Bailey that (a.) 5 councilmen at large would give the new council the widest discretion as to what seems best for Palm Desert. Mr. Kane pointed out that there might be considerable advantage to a district form of elections because of the somewhat heterogeneous make-up of Palm Desert. 8. Mr. Hubbard commended Messrs Bailey and Macfadyen for speaking at the University Club at COD. A tape of the remarks is available. 9. It was agreed to continue the every other Friday morning meetings of this committee, namely, 10/27, 11/10, 12/1 and 12/15 and then to probably go on a once -a -month basis until later. 10.
