Importance: High
Thank you, Tania and Danny for sending this information. I reached out to Carmela and she does have additional
questions about the project. This story is scheduled to run tomorrow night 4/22.
Danny - Are you available for a phone call interview with Carmela this afternoon or tomorrow morning between 10 -
12?
Here are the questions she is going to ask:
• Can she get a preview of Tuesday's meeting?
• What decisions can we anticipate?
• What are our plans or thoughts on this project?
• The Colorado River was just added to the most endangered list, have we taken this into consideration with this
project?
I will need to send her your available times by 1:30 pm this afternoon. Thank you,
I N C

If a Planning Commissioner were to speak to a reporter, the direction to provide is that "the project is under
consideration and the Planning Commission meeting is next Tuesday". And that's it. There's nothing more to
discuss.

Subject: Public Information Officer Request
Good morning Marcie,
Carmela, a reporter from NBC Palm Springs, is looking to speak to someone with the Planning Commission regarding
the upcoming Public Hearing for Coral Mountain Resort. I am forwarding this request to you as our Public
Information Officer so that you can provide the appropriate information instead. She can be reached at
415-450-1733.
Thank you.
