Public comment was heard from the following citizens:
A. George Phillips, 9-25O Avenida Fernando, La Quinta, representing the

sand problem of the last several weeks.
B. Paul Perkins, I;8?9OO Avenida Anselmo, La Quinta, spoke also concerning
this problem.
C. Pat Reilly, 51-259 Avenida Diaz, La Quinta, asked that if the developers
don't reply to nuisance charges, could the City charge them for the
services and if not paid, place a lien on their property? The City Attor-
ney replied that there were procedures for this type of action, but time
constraints made their use unfeasible.
The City Manager has been in contact with the County Building & Safety
Department to solve this problem, as has Mayor Wolff. Mayor Wolff will
be writing to the developers giving them a specific period of time in
which to correct this situation. He assured the audience that the City
will do all it can to alleviate this situation, and urged that they
call the County Building Department themselves to provide verbal backup
for the City's efforts.
