The Twentynine Palms City Council meets tonight to consider, among other things, improving and expanding the vision of the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department. Reporter David Haldane explains…
If you’re a scofflaw in Twentynine Palms, your days of traversing city streets without detection may be numbered. At its regular meeting tonight, the City Council will consider funding an elaborate Automated License Plate Reader system designed to stop you in your tracks.
The system—to be operated by the sheriff’s department and partially funded by the city—would consist of five mobile units installed in patrol cars and one fixed unit with eight cameras recording license plates at Adobe Road and Indian Trail.
In other business, the Council will hold a public hearing on the engineer’s annual report on lighting and landscaping, consider giving the city manager a raise and ask a property owner to reimburse nearly $15,000 spent demolishing a fire-damaged house on Serrano Drive.
Tonight’s meeting gets underway 6 p.m. at City Hall on Adobe Road.
