the Oversight Board that there was going to be a University Planning and
Development Committee Meeting (California State University,
San Bernardino - Palm Desert, and University of California, Riverside -
Palm Desert) this Friday (November 7) in the City Hall Administrative

Staff noted that the City's University Planning and Development Committee

by the City Council as a whole.
