Sorry for jumping the gun!
Let's meet early next week. We all sometimes get emails separately so it will be helpful to have a process
that you guys are comfortable with moving forward for this item. I am available Tuesday morning. I know
it's Council day so we can just have a quick meet if that's ok.

Monika,
Whatever is your usual process I don't want to change. Why don't we get together early next week to figure it out.

Hi Nicole,
Generally, the comments related to the project are collected by Planning and added to the project file and then
attached to the staff report when published.
The Clerk's Office usually collects comments received after the publication of the agenda packet, as they were
considered comments specific for the Council meeting, not just general project comments.
I'd like to briefly discuss with you and Cheri the process for collecting public comments for this project for the next 3
weeks.

Monika,
Everything we receive relating to the project is forwarded to the hearing body. To date, it's been sent to the PC. Now that the Council
is next, they get to read all the comments from PC (Tania has those), and all the comments that come in from now till hearing (which
you get to collect, and which will likely be June, not May 17).

Hi Ladies,
I just want to clarify and understand - your direction is to consider the comment below as "written public
comments" for the Council meeting of 5/17/2022, instead of comments for the project file?
As I read it, the comments are not addressed directly to Council and the meeting has not even been advertised yet?

Hi Nicole,
Would it help if the water used in this and other water surf parks in Palm Springs was not local water, but was surplus water from areas of potential
flooding? I've been proposing for years that spring flooding in the Midwest and eastern parts of the US could be reduced/mitigated by hauling
away surplus snow before it melts and causes flooding. One good source for collecting some of this surplus is snow plowed from large expanse
parking lots. As it is plowed and scooped it can be easily deposited into reusable containers similar in size and shape to household plastic trash
bins. Each time those bins are filled they could be loaded onto freight trucks destined for the west coast. On their way through Palm Springs those
containers, or the water in those containers, could be dropped off at the water parks (and in lakes and reservoirs throughout California) and stored
in the containers until needed in the surf park pools. After the containers are emptied, they could be stacked and a stack of empties loaded back
onto trucks returning with new freight from the coast and shipped back to the heavy snow accumulation areas to be refilled again, over and over.
Many trucks have unfilled capacity that would allow enough space for at least a few of these containers to be added to their existing loads. Some
trucks might not always have a load at all when returning to the west coast and could accommodate over 100 such containers. For more details on
this proposal feel free to contact me. I'd be happy to provide more specifics on how this could help bring more new water supplies into California
and Arizona, and all states in the west, as well as mitigate spring flooding in the midwest and eastern states, provide more revenue for truckers,
and reduce parking lot damage caused by piles of ice created by snow plowed from those lots that participate. Thank you for reading and
sharing.
