Good day Ms. Criste. Can you please request a copy from the developer of the new, approved,
Will Serve letter from IID for the Coral Mountain Resort? Since the City Council will be
approving the EIR and the mitigation letter, I think it is critical information for the City Council
meeting for the Coral Mountain Project. The EIR still references the expired Will Serve letter.
Thank you very much.
Respectfully,

Good morning Alena,
The City has completed its review of records on file, and has determined that is not in
possession of responsive documents to your request below:
"John Gamlin said there was a new Will Serve letter from IID as of October 2021. However, the EIR, dated
February 2022 states the following: In a letter dated May 26, 2020, IID concluded that electrical facilities can be
extended to serve the project, under the conditions in the will serve letter."
The letter you reference was issued by IID to the applicant; IID is the custodian of
record for this document; please direct your request for records to IID or request a
copy of the letter from the applicant.
Thank you.

Good day. In the Planning Commission meeting, John Gamlin said there was a new Will Serve letter from IID as
of October 2021. However, the EIR, dated February 2022 states the following:
In a letter dated May 26, 2020, IID concluded that electrical facilities can be extended to serve the project, under
the conditions in the will serve letter.
As we learned, the original Will Serve letter dated May 26, 2020, was cancelled by IID. If there indeed is a valid
Will Serve letter, then the date in the Final EIR dated February 2022, should have reflected the new Will Serve
letter. Perhaps Mr. Gamlin did not understand our point and was referring to the fact that they have applied for a
new Will Serve letter but have not received it.
In either case, we would like a copy of the new Will Serve letter, or the request for a new Will Serve letter, so that
we can make a valid assessment about the electrical requirements, given the fact that Mayor Evans has said, as
part of her work to find an electric company other than IID, that IID is tapped out for providing power to new
