The Morongo Valley Community Services District Board of Directors held its regular monthly meeting last night. Reporter Andrew Dieleman has the details…
At last night’s meeting, the Morongo Valley CSD Board of Directors heard a presentation from resident Christina Gorke on several possible COVID-19 compliant events the CSD could host this Halloween, including an art walk through trails around Covington Park and a drive-thru trick-or-treat event at the Morongo Valley Fire Station. After lengthy discussion and with great sadness, the board voted 4-1 (Director Christina Brook voting yes) to hold no community Halloween event this year due primarily to concerns over liability. Gorke and resident Sue Lefevre stated they would instead investigate the possibility of creating a community Halloween event held on private property.
The board also took no action regarding Covington Park, choosing to leave the park closed to the public until further notice.
Additionally, the board discussed the donation of a $5,000 commercial freezer to the Morongo Valley Fire Department; Morongo Valley Deputy Fire Chief Jim Brakebill discussed fire department activity over the past month, including assistance in battling the recent EL Dorado Fire; and the board discussed holding future meetings with CalTrans and County representatives over traffic safety issues on Highway 62 and on Morongo Valley residential streets.
