The Morongo Valley Community Services District Board of Directors did not meet as scheduled on Wednesday (August 19). As reported by Gabriel Hart, only one director was able to make it to the scheduled meeting, and it was cancelled due to lack of quorum. The meeting was rescheduled by District General Manager Brittany Chavez for Monday afternoon (August 24) at 6:00 p.m.

For the meeting’s agenda, the Board will consider establishing a limit on the General Manager’s emergency spending to allow timely purchases and expenditures to address the district’s urgent needs. District approved holidays will be discussed with consideration of an official holiday schedule for office closures, employee leave, and District operations. To ensure designated positions and disclosure requirements remain current and compliant with applicable law, the Board will consider updates to the District’s Conflict of Interest Code.
