We are submitting this in response to Item No. 3 of the Council's March 21, 2023 Business Session as we find it incredibly hypocritical that the City stated its intent to complain to the Coachella Valley USD Board about the alleged disrespectful treatment of Councilmember Sanchez given Mayor Evans' own disrespectful treatment of a concerned neighbor.
Re Special Events Permits (for Residential Neighborhoods) Transcript from video (“Get Friends”) shot in October 2022 by a concerned neighbor as she interviewed Mayor Evans as the latter arrived at an unannounced Mayoral Fundraiser at the DuPot Estate in the Highland Palms neighborhood of La Quinta.
Neighbor: What are your thoughts on an event in a neighborhood that’s not really built for it? Mayor:
It’s a permitted event.
Neighbor:
Huh?
Mayor:
It’s a permitted event. She’s following the rules.
Neighbor:
So, you think it’s okay, though? I mean, would you like this next to you, Mayor? Mayor:
I have gatherings at my house and my friends enjoy spending time with me.
Neighbor:
… Every weekend?! I can’t move, Mayor. I’m trapped next to a Pot Motel because of your policies. … Okay…
Alright, well, I guess you and [Councilmember] Pena are OK with large events in small neighborhoods, is what you’re telling me. Is that correct? CITY COUNCIL MEETING - APRIL 4, 2023 - WRITTEN COMMENTS BY RESIDENT CLAUDIA SNYDER
MATTERS NOT ON THE AGENDA - DUPONT ESTATE SPECIAL EVENTS 2 Mayor:
It’s a gathering of friends.
Neighbor: OK
Mayor:
You should try getting some!
Neighbor:
I have plenty of friends, Mayor!

Please find the Proof of Notification for the DuPot Estate's Nov 7, 2022 Large Scale Wedding Event which we received from the City on March 23, 2023 in response to our request for evidence that the permit applicant (Lynne Daniels) mailed or delivered notification of the event to all neighbors within 500 feet no later than 14 days prior to said event (as required per LQMC 9.60.170).
As you are aware, the neighborhood disputes that the document is evidence and we wish to have this entered into the public record.
Thank you,
Matthew Snyder on behalf of the Concerned Neighbors of Highland Palms CITY COUNCIL MEETING - APRIL 4, 2023 - WRITTEN COMMENTS BY RESIDENT MATTHEW SNYDER
