Pursuant to Executive Orders N-25-20 and N-08-21 executed by the Governor of California, and subsequently Assembly Bill 361 (AB 361, 2021), enacted in response to the state of emergency relating to novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and enabling teleconferencing accommodations by suspending or waiving specified provisions in the Ralph M. Brown Act (Government Code § 54950 et seq.), members of the public, Planning Commission, the City Attorney, City Staff, and City Consultants may participate in this meeting by teleconference. Further, due to the temporary closure of City Hall, the public is not permitted to physically attend this meeting; however, any member of the public may listen or participate in this meeting virtually as specified below.

Written public comments – can be emailed to the Planning Commission Secretary, Tania Flores, at TFlores@LaQuintaCA.Gov, preferably by 3:00 p.m. on the day of the meeting, and will be distributed to the Planning Commission and incorporated into the agenda packet and public record of the meeting, but will not be read during the meeting unless, upon the request of the Chairperson, a brief summary of any public comment is asked to be read, to the extent that the Planning Commission Secretary can accommodate such request.

It would be appreciated that any email communications for public comments related to the items on the agenda, or for general public comment, are provided to the City at the email address listed above prior to the commencement of the meeting.  If that is not possible, and to accommodate public comments on items that may be added to the agenda after its initial posting or items that are on the agenda, every effort will be made to attempt to review emails received by the City during the course of the meeting. The Chairperson will endeavor to take a brief pause before action is taken on any agenda item to allow the Commission Secretary to review emails and share any public comments received during the meeting. All emails received by the City, at the email address above, until the adjournment of the meeting, will be included within the public record relating to the meeting.
