The Yucca Valley Town Council met last night to discuss many important matters, but first turned over the podium to Joshua Tree National Park Superintendent David Smith for an update on the park. In his presentation, Smith discussed the original closure of the park last year, the high numbers of tourists coming through the park, totaling roughly 3 million visitors this last year, and the upcoming Black Rock Rehabilitation Project.

Up next was Linda Tyer from OneLegacy, a nonprofit for organ, eye, and tissue donation, and Jannette Zito on behalf of the San Bernardino County Children’s Network whose presentations led to the designation of April 2021 as both DonateLife Month and Child Abuse Prevention Month in the Town of Yucca Valley.

Following, the council began their discussion on ratifying a letter of opposition to the transplantation of sexually violent predator Lawtis Donald Rhoden to Twentynine Palms from Orange County. The letter’s ratification received unanimous approval from the council. Rhoden has no prior ties to the area.
