It will be anything but business as usual for the Morongo Basin Municipal Advisory Council following changes proposed by Third District County Supervisor Dawn Rowe. At tomorrow’s 10 a.m. meeting of county supervisors, the board is expected to approve a restructuring that will change the look of things from Joshua Tree to Johnson Valley. Reporter Mike Lipsitz explains…
In a consent agenda vote tomorrow, supervisors, in one fell swoop, will
dissolve the Lucerne Valley/Johnson Valley Municipal Advisory Council, which has been inactive and does not currently have delegates. In the same board vote, the boundary of the Morongo Basin Municipal Advisory Council will be extended to include Johnson Valley. And, Johnson Valley resident Jim Harvey will be appointed to the Morongo Basin MAC representing Johnson Valley. In other business, supervisors are expected to declare and post a vacancy on the Twentynine Palms Cemetery District board, approve $30,000 for another year of continued presence of a probation officer to address juvenile crime prevention and public safety at Morongo Basin schools.
Tomorrow’s meeting streams online and to the first-floor teleconferencing room in the County Government Center on White Feather Road in Joshua Tree where public comment may be made via live video link.
