Jacob,
We can reschedule, but an addiOonal 2.5 weeks, when the Department set the meeOng three weeks
ago, is an issue. What availability does your team have early next week?

Hello Everyone,
I apologize from the last minute change but CDFW requests that we re-schedule this meeOng to discuss the
Coral Mountain Resort project. We need more Ome to review and have a couple staff members that have
schedule conflicts today. Does the City and Project team have availability on Thursday, 1/27 between 1-2pm
or 2:30-4pm for a call? I can provide more available Omes if this does not work. Thanks for your paOence.
Best regards,
Jacob
