XIII. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS - C
Ms. Carney reported that due to the Coronavirus, the City provided options for people
to comment this evening. One of those was a phone line where people were allowed
to leave a voicemail message and state under which item it should be considered. Staff
received one voicemail under Oral Communications and she played it for the record as
follows:
MS. EILEEN SNYDER, Villa Road, Palm Desert, expressed concern about people
coming into the area by plane who are not having their temperature checked or finding
out if they have traveled from overseas or not. She knew of a man who came in through
LAX from Milan who said he wasn't checked and he couldn't believe it. She wants to
know if the City has done anything to ensure that fewer cases of Coronavirus will come
into the area from out of town.
