Officer Wayne Campbell - City of La Quinta - Code Compliance Officer:
I am writing this email to insure that our complaint respecting the light coming from the Morrow
Ranch is entered into the City record.
Below are pictures that were taken on Sunday, January 27th at about 9 or 9:30 pm. On Monday,
January 28th, I called the City to file a complaint regarding the light that was shining directly
into our great room. The light source appears to be coming from the horse stable directly south,
across Brown Deer Park, the Norman #5 tee box and across the 16th lake and fairway, directly
into our great room.
On January 30th I sent the pictures to Ms. K. Pierce, I was assured she would follow up
respecting this matter.
On January 31st, I received a call from you, at which time, I went over all of the above details
with you. You confirmed the light was definitely in violation of code. You commented that the
owner of the Morrow Ranch property had just met with you and you brought this complaint
to her attention. She stated the light did not come from her property but from a golf tournament
being held at PGA West. I clarified that first of all, there was no tournament going on at the
Norman Golf Course and secondly, certainly, not after 9:00 p.m. when it’s pitch dark and you
CANNOT see the golf ball. Furthermore, our first call when the light came into our home was to
PGA West Security. Two security guards came to our home to see what the complaint was
about. I explained our complaint and asked them to come in and see what the problem was. The
guards left our home to investigate the source of the light. Shortly after, they returned and
informed us it was not coming from anywhere on the Norman Course.
During our conversation I offered to have you come to our home and get an idea where the
source of the light might be.
You asked me to check at night and see if the light was on again and to call you the next morning
and let you know. I mentioned that since this property is being used for special events, it
probably would not happen again until another event was held there. To date, either there
have not been any events held on the premises or the light has been eliminated from their use.
Please forward this email to Danny Castro and Kevin McCune.
Thank you,
Yolanda Mills
