In the featured informational presentation at the August meeting of the Morongo Basin MAC, County Special Districts Regional Manager Tim Millington will touch on the forming of Special Districts, and road issues including the County maintained road system. The MAC will return to an action item tabled at last month’s meeting: Support of a Scenic Highway designation for Route 247 will again be considered after a follow-up from lead proponents Betty Munson and Joanna Wright of the Scenic Hwy 247 Committee. Specifically, they will address the question of whether or not scenic highway designation will impose restrictions on the rights of property owners. The meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. in the Joshua Tree Community Center on Sunburst Avenue.
