TWENTYNINE PALMS CITY COUNCIL MEETS TONIGHT, ACQUISITION OF HOWSER LAND ON AGENDA

Block grant priorities, filling vacant city posts, and acquisition of land owned by the estate of a well-loved resident (now deceased) are among the topics at the Twentynine Palms City Council meeting.  Dan Stork tells what else is doing…

After starting the 6 p.m. open session with a presentation to Captain Rich Boswell on his retirement from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, the Twentynine Palms City Council moves on to the consent agenda, which contains several items of note: opposition to a commercial solar farm on unincorporated land in the city’s sphere of influence; approval of a fireworks contract for the Fourth of July; reimbursement from the general fund to the original fire development impact fee study, and guidelines for hiring a new code enforcement officer. Next up are public hearings on Community Development Block Grant priorities, and the 2013-2021 Housing Element. Further discussions and potential action items cover the purchase of a new telephone system, and a contract with a consulting company for three months of interim community development director services and ongoing Successor Agency administrative support. In addition, the Council will consider acquiring for park use 70 acres registered under the name of the Huell Howser Trust, and will go into closed session following adjournment to follow up on whatever is decided on that subject. The meeting takes place in City Hall on Adobe Road.
