Commissioners said the change reduces staff workload and avoids preparing reports during a period when many officials take vacation.

Staff explained City Council recently consolidated summer absences and shifted one meeting around Memorial Day, creating a schedule the commission recommended mirroring. Commissioners said canceling meetings during the summer when agendas tend to be light had been done informally in past years; the motion formalizes the three-month break.

The motion was made by Commissioner Herrera and seconded by Vice Chair Bai Shu. The roll call showed all present commissioners voting yes (4–0). Staff said any urgent matters that arise in June–August can be agendized or reviewed by the city manager and returned to the commission in September; commissioners were advised of the May agenda filing deadlines for items they wish the commission to consider before the summer break.

Commissioners identified several items they plan to bring forward before the break, including a yoga program recap and summer-movie sponsorship details. The cancellation was described as an efficiency move rather than a reduction in services.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Parks and Community Events Commission - Regular Meeting - April 1, 2025 5:00 PM","oneSentenceSummary","The Parks and Community Events Commission voted to cancel its June, July and August meetings and reconvene in September, mirroring City Council’s summer schedule to reduce staff workload.","taxTitle","Cathedral City, Riverside County, California","taxId",5539,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6617066,"Commission backs partnership with Animal Samaritans for free spay/neuter sign-up at Esperanza opening",493,1028365,1522105,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2844018-51ec7e9a2c699fbe012934872513e7b2&start=1028&end=1522","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2844018-51ec7e9a2c699fbe012934872513e7b2/thumbnail_1028365.jpg","/articles/6617066/Cathedral-City/Riverside-County/California/Commission-backs-partnership-with-Animal-Samaritans-for-free-spayneuter-sign-up-at-Esperanza-opening","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6617066-04889d4d99d34f74a69b90c53dfc2e26/orig.mp4?Expires=1771170994&Signature=bdBPONpTiTdWV00wzybLi06E54AFm28aPIKOKfh1WHOdpAz5RK7C3C53iT7FBxuEAj6O36~o1GkQ9NXm0x2oVnuQFdGoz~f1Sq5QRZXQtuncrNIo~0FOKk11k1LCX98eYZ6uAWjhnuvE83nYJUnhnIiL2FxdXKfMHwiU6wK~pNFZY7eqFZxB8SpMNPuLaq5X-7se-OXtgMTcYSPKhVTJ6lVd8NJVSCVNTI9X0nOuPRI~AKTuukY-OIvP5vIPofxKmo4c3SmkuEH8jVW0h6k7Ti18obsbAkFBiOtdhjFC5MLU53QVFhpibtOW1xh77wa879TWAChCBV1dtCj~k-8FuQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cathedral City Parks and Community Events Commission voted April 1 to partner with Animal Samaritans to host a free spay-and-neuter sign-up table at the Esperanza Park grand opening on May 22, 2025. Commissioners approved the partnership by voice vote; there is no cost to the city or to residents for the sign-up effort.

Representatives said Animal Samaritans has a grant of approximately $100,000 to fund spay-and-neuter surgeries across the valley and will allocate 50 surgeries for the Esperanza opening. The program is aimed at qualifying low-income neighborhoods; staff said the city’s economic development department confirmed the neighborhood qualifies so that residents will only need to bring a dog and proof of residence (for example, a utility bill) to secure a voucher. Surgery appointments will take place at an off-site clinic (described in the meeting as Thousand Palms/Palms location).

Commissioners and staff discussed timing so the sign-up table does not interfere with the grand-opening ceremony; Animal Samaritans agreed staff would stage a registration table and give vouchers that can be redeemed later, and volunteers will be available to register residents on the day. Commissioners noted the program’s potential to reduce pet overpopulation in low-income areas and said staff should work with the nonprofit to schedule a presentation to City Council if requested by the nonprofit.

The motion was made by Vice Chair Bai Shu and seconded by Commissioner Herrera; the roll call showed all present commissioners voting yes (4–0). Staff clarified the program will not require a city funding allocation and therefore does not need City Council approval for the sign-up booth; the commission requested that staff coordinate communication and logistics with Animal Samaritans and the city manager’s office.","The commission approved partnering with Animal Samaritans to host a free spay-and-neuter sign-up table at Esperanza Park’s grand opening May 22; the program covers 50 surgeries at no cost to the city or residents and targets low-income neighborhoods under a $100,000 grant.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6617070,"Commission funds $300 for Feliz Navi holiday dog contest at Esperanza Dog Park",546,441575,987880,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2844018-51ec7e9a2c699fbe012934872513e7b2&start=441&end=987","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2844018-51ec7e9a2c699fbe012934872513e7b2/thumbnail_441575.jpg","/articles/6617070/Cathedral-City/Riverside-County/California/Commission-funds-300-for-Feliz-Navi-holiday-dog-contest-at-Esperanza-Dog-Park","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6617070-d84796f48e7506b16abeccab61b70d89/orig.mp4?Expires=1771170994&Signature=QiAe1J026za-AillnfnhFRDGpCFdS3JgaGPL3z8uleObQ4u62g-yXXjWtanbovI~h47e-aaOspxT47t8lz1vKKEx9lTar5jal0kI4iKHGGaDQdffejAa5tGMJTDz0BHfvGYcp1h1EnO3BuVOjTCI2bX1NL6x3lWvLfArEosGeSvYj9arKZRXIpJxRPbJIuneIZs6M7PUdIOx-FHM3Ni1mfWcRdaq1krph7T6ebszu03ej8s-kG7-n9nmj0eh6xWpB3CLtYXa19EyL4rfgEzYaso4cqcV07jMidXdQM2~iCULdr37116cOayyazWSQHV1ngLG0jR~iMmnOZTGfmdkKA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cathedral City Parks and Community Events Commission on April 1 approved $300 from the commission’s budget to support the “Feliz Navi Dog” holiday dog costume contest at Esperanza Dog Park on Saturday, Dec. 6, 2025.

Commissioners described the event as a neighborhood-focused holiday contest with the same format used for other dog contests: registration before 9:30 a.m. and judging from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., with small- and large-dog categories and combination-owner-and-dog awards. The commission was told the event is intended to showcase Esperanza Park as a citywide destination and could attract attendees from outside the immediate neighborhood.

Staff and commissioners discussed promotional elements: 50 flyers were proposed for distribution, and commissioners requested a banner with sponsor names. Initial discussion considered increasing the request to $600 to cover a banner, but commissioners later agreed to proceed with the original $300 request and to coordinate banner and flyer costs with staff and subcommittee members. The motion approved $300 to come from the Parks and Community Events budget; Vice Chair Bai Shu made the motion and Commissioner Herrera seconded; the roll call showed all present commissioners voting yes (4–0).

Commissioners also discussed a possible bicycle raffle for children at the event. The commission asked staff to coordinate the number and funding source for bikes with community partners; no specific dollar amount for bikes was approved at the meeting, and commissioners said they would finalize details in subsequent meetings.

The commission noted the event will be placed on a City Council agenda (likely July or August) for any necessary budget housekeeping after the city’s new budget is adopted.","Parks commission approved $300 from its budget to support a holiday dog costume contest at Esperanza Dog Park on Dec. 6, 2025; commissioners discussed banners, flyers and a planned bike giveaway for children.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6617075,"Commission approves Panorama Dog Park Halloween dog costume contest for Oct. 25",250,160620,411425,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2844018-51ec7e9a2c699fbe012934872513e7b2&start=160&end=411","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2844018-51ec7e9a2c699fbe012934872513e7b2/thumbnail_160620.jpg","/articles/6617075/Cathedral-City/Riverside-County/California/Commission-approves-Panorama-Dog-Park-Halloween-dog-costume-contest-for-Oct-25","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6617075-d2b702471b28f4ad4d7efeff4dcf949e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771170994&Signature=XYU-MOUn5mxBHHw9IhyX-xVGYNl5VQjLUCqPZJDmrXoSPx8JInp4oWMaolMgfmpnz63HPMEr1k-z5eBWn57r3MClRPTxnffrGUwxKTaKjiPZVUlt73ZPEi4enmCIJDmQ3letv7PzQcH49MfO6LuXyjV2G9LwN5vslVOhbOGH04dBwgeoVZ3wo62yRc6rNmLYGqweTclN3mAF-024JycvrKqIs44HdFAmFFaQbG8afOwBsOTow4fGFmWRW6XliTaWM9hTAQEBsfBWrDbaHJTVuKCkhVKebdvFvPWOHrpUCXwVL9WPiovajsv05NC7tYxT3e~Qz7YrzDD~LgDIfw9cdw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cathedral City Parks and Community Events Commission voted unanimously April 1 to approve a Halloween dog costume contest at Panorama Dog Park on Saturday, Oct. 25, 2025, and authorized $100 from the commission’s budget for miscellaneous charges.

The event is planned to follow the park’s grand reopening after scheduled maintenance in October. Commissioners said the contest will follow the format used the prior two years: registration at 9 a.m., judging starting at 9:30 a.m., and separate small- and large-dog categories with first-through-third prizes. Staff reported that last year’s contest drew an estimated 244 attendees and 30 competing dogs.

Commissioners asked staff whether overseeding or other maintenance could prevent the park from being ready; staff indicated they did not foresee a conflict but will monitor the park’s progress. The motion to approve the event was made by Vice Chair Bai Shu and seconded by Chair Hyland; the roll call showed all present commissioners voting yes (4–0), with Commissioner Martinez absent.

The commission noted that, after the commission’s approval, the event will be brought to the City Council for final scheduling or budget housekeeping at a July or August meeting once the city’s fiscal budget is set. Staff said they will confirm final logistics, including staffing needs and any weekend staffing arrangements, before the event.

The commission’s approval covers the event concept and the $100 miscellaneous request; additional changes to staffing or budget will be returned to staff and, if required, placed on the council agenda.","The Parks and Community Events Commission approved a Halloween dog costume contest at Panorama Dog Park on Oct. 25, 2025, and authorized a $100 miscellaneous expense from the commission fund; the park reopening after maintenance was noted.","actionData","errors"]
