I know we are not going to respond to comments but as an FYI, the focus of 40' equalling 4
stories that we are hearing does not always play out. For example, the highest point on the
Andalusia clubhouse is 36'. This will be an easy one to address as we move forward with the
design of the hotel.
Please Add Good,

Hi Nicole,
That's what I expected. I'm certainly not advocating that we cut anyone off.
Thanks!

Although I am going to say something to that effect, we will not stop anyone from repeating what has

Hi Nicole,
I've been thinking about today's scoping meeting. Would it be appropriate to include in your opening
remarks, something along the following lines, "If the topics you plan to speak on have already been
covered, it is okay to simply state your name and address and say that you have the same concerns as the
previous speakers."
Thanks,
Jim

Our PPT is attached. There is some repetition, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

That's fine. So we will start ours with the Project Overview slides. Do you want the
"Questions/ Comments" and "Contacts" slides left at the end or just end at the conclusion
of the "Environmental Overview" and turn sharing back to you?

Subject: Scoping Meeting
Jim and Garrett,
We have met internally, and have set a Scoping meeting for
March 30th at 4 PM. It will be a City -hosted Zoom meeting. We
will be preparing notices to mail to everyone who received the
NOP, email to everyone who has sent a comment, post on the
City's website and published in the Desert Sun on March 19th
The format will consist of a presentation by someone from your
team, and I would suggest it be someone from the environmental
group at MSA, to include a project description, the issues
identified in the NOP and the CEQA process, followed by public
comments at 3 minutes each. Questions regarding process,
hearing dates, etc., will be addressed by the City. We do not
propose that either your team or the City answer questions
4 of 5 5/29/22, 1:03 PM
Firefox https://outlook.office.com/mail/deeplink?Print
regarding CEQA issues, as that would be premature.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
