They say a property’s value is determined by three important elements: location, location, location. When county supervisors meet at 10 a.m. in San Bernardino tomorrow, three locations in our Morongo Basin will be among the many topics up for discussion. Reporter Mike Lipsitz tells us about each…
Agenda item 20 concerns the lease of an antenna on a little plot of county-owned land atop Paxton Hill in Yucca Valley. Supervisors will likely renew a five-year, $300,000 lease agreement with Verizon Wireless. Item 21 concerns the future home of Yucca Valley’s library at Highway 62 and Joshua Lane. Supervisors are expected to approve a one year delay, until March 2020, for the start date of the county’s 15-year lease. The last location is a 14,000 square-foot piece of land with a little office on it at Old Dale Road and Cholla Avenue in Twentynine Palms. The former site of County Special District’s TV translator, the site was put up for auction in January 2018, then May, and then December, starting at $73,000, and going down to $60,000. But not a single bid was submitted. So tomorrow, supervisors are expected to approve a fourth auction set for May 21 in another attempt to unload the location, location, location.
Tomorrow’s meeting streams online and to the first-floor teleconferencing room in the county government center on Whitefeather Road in Joshua Tree where public comment may be made via live video link.
