Gregory Ballard
Chairman, Housing Commission
Palm Desert, CA
Dear Greg,
Telephone 760-779-5535
For the last four years, it has been my distinctive pleasure to serve on the Housing Commission. I really
appreciate Janet Moore, Director of Finance for our city to keep our commissioners involved and up to date. I
deeply appreciate the efforts of Patty keeping up with the minutes of the Commission...
We have been so lucky to have Teressa Vakili, RPM, supporting our properties. I could not have made decision
without her help and support.
We, Palm Desert residents, are so fortunate to have outstanding employees, such as Jessica Gonzales.
How fortunate to have Kathleen Kelly, our City Council Member liaison, to get to know her and know she
supports our issues.
I am most fortunate to have know my other commissioners and to have been part of the opening of Carlos
Ortega Villas and getting the "No Smoking" policy imposed.
Thank you so much.
