Good Morning Dale and John:
We really appreciate you expediting the resolution and apologize for the lack of communication. We
were taken by surprise that the Council opted to not join the Consortium and tried every avenue that
we could to make it work. There is a back story to their decision to not join which I can share with you
and John when we have a moment to talk. The delayed response was partly due to our
communication with HUD regarding the impact of Hemet not joining and to see if there were any other
options we could pursue before we notified the Cities. The delay was entirely my responsibility as we
believed there would have been a way for the County to address the gap necessary to meet the
minimum threshold but that option failed as well. Again, I apologize and truly appreciate the
support. Stephanie worked very very hard with the partner cities and there was no one more
motivated than she to make this happen. We plan on attempting this again next year. John

Good morning Stephanie—Yes, it is very unfortunate for our respective Cities, and in addition to everyone's efforts. It
would have been beneficial to have learned of Hemet's refusal after their May 13"vote, or even early the next
morning. You had read my Wednesday morning email, but did not respond-back until this Thursday evening email.
Our City Clerk's Office rushed to process the Agreement and certified Resolution for your Thursday's deadline because
we're closed on Fridays as well I was certain to place the originals in next day delivery service before leaving the office for
a couple of days. For the future opportunity, there will need to be improved communications. Thanks. — Dale

Good afternoon Dale,
I wanted to let you know that unfortunately the HOME Consortium will not go through at this time. This week Hemet's
City Council voted against joining and therefore we do not meet the required threshold. I want to thank you and the
City of Palm Springs for your efforts and consideration in joining the Consortium. It has been a pleasure working with
you. I will let you know if an opportunity comes up in the future. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Stephanie Adams
