Then an update on the health fair at Luckie Park. New this year, the Flying Doctors will provide dental and vision care. Next, CEO Jackie Combs asked the board to approve the transfer of $500,000 from the investment fund to the District’s operations fund to help pay for the Mobile Medical Unit and upgrades to the Yucca Valley campus. Without it, the operations fund would be financially vulnerable till the first of the year. The board unanimously approved the transfer.
