At tonight’s meeting of the Yucca Valley Revenue Measure Oversight Commission, commissioners will determine the priorities of how to allocate the funds from the half-cent Measure Y sales tax. The three areas that will be funded by the sales tax revenues are public safety, followed by infrastructure and then general quality of life. The commission is committed to funding all current position in the Sheriff’s Department, and any additional positions added will remain funded during the course of Measure Y.
