The Twentynine Palms City Council convenes this evening at City Hall to wrap up a number of civic issues. Reporter Heather Clisby has the details…
Tonight, the Twentynine Palms City Council meets to tackle local issues such as road repair, water taxes and the town’s new marketing logo.
The Council will consider projects funded by SB1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act, and the budget amendment to include additional transportation funds for road repair and maintenance.
Next, the Council will consider supporting a recommendation by the Twentynine Palms Water District to create a Safe Water Drinking Trust in lieu of a water tax. Signed by Mayor Bilderain and addressed to Senator Bob Weickowski, chair of the state’s Budget and Finance Subcommittee, the letter reads, in part, “The Trust is a better approach than a statewide water tax because it is not sound policy to tax a resource that is essential to life.”
Also on the agenda: The Morongo Basin Active Transportation Plan, the new ‘Visit 29’ logo, and the preliminary two-year general fund budget for the fiscal year 2019-2020.
The meeting takes place at City Hall on Adobe Road in Twentynine Palms at 6 p.m.
