Please enter this comment into the record for tonight's meeting: I sent this comment via email to Council members, but it was
undeliverable to Garner, Soto and Reedy allegedly because the delivery system did not recognize the address palmspringscity.gov.

Hello Councilmembers,
I am still waiting for a response from you. In the meantime, I note that the City Council Meeting agenda tonight contains recommendations to annex new
territories into CFD's, however there is no staff report accompanying these agenda items so I am curious if the Council is fully aware of what they entail and
what the genesis is for these recommendations in light of the fact that there has not been fiscal impact analysis performed on the existing ones. I think it
would behoove the Council to be fully educated on the concept of Mello-Roos levies, their financial objectives, their audit maintenance and the necessity
and equity of the existing ones.
In a previous communication I stated that I saw a dollar amount of expenses in the last Analysis Report that was "filed," but no accounting for what that
amount was expensed for. Before Council members vote to approve these annexations, I would hope they ask for an accounting of the existing 20 and 18-
year-old CFD's fiscal objectives before collecting more money from residents under this taxation format.
If nothing else, a time frame of a little over a month to hold a public hearing re these financially impactful resolutions to property owners seems hardly
adequate.
