The Yucca Valley Town Council met in what Managing Editor Tami Roleff says was a relatively calm session…
Slow and careful deliberations were the order of the day at last night’s nearly 3-hour-long meeting of the Yucca Valley Town Council. The Council took more than an hour just to go through the consent agenda, pulling for discussion three items. After an attorney for a property owner at Emerson and Yucca Trail protested the Town’s attempt to revert a subdivided parcel of 17 lots back into a single lot, the Council agreed to appoint two members to meet with the owner to work out details on keeping the property as a subdivision. The Council voted to hire Vanessa Cantu as a part-time contract employee for $20,000 to work as a registrar for the Hi-Desert Nature Museum. Cantu has been volunteering as an assistant registrar at the museum for the past year. The new Youth Commission was introduced to the Council. Council members spent quite a bit of time discussing changes made to the development code update before approving the ordinance for its first reading. Construction of new playground equipment at Paradise Park should start in January. The Council also received a report on the Questar Southern Trails Pipeline Oil Conversion Project, which we’ll hear more about tomorrow.
