The Twentynine Palms City Council will meet in regular session tonight. Reporter David Haldane says the meeting will mostly be about…
Bingo, tourism and relocation. Those are the subjects dominating the agenda at tonight’s meeting of the Twentynine Palms City Council. The bingo, if approved, would take place at the Community Food Pantry, a nonprofit center operated by Immanuel Prince of Peace Lutheran Church.
Tourism is the goal of the Joshua Tree Gateway Communities Marketing Process, a proposed $40,000 contract with the Desert Regional Tourism Agency to help the city capture its fair share of revenues from the increasing Joshua Tree National Park attendance.
And relocation is what the residents of seven houses will have to do after the city acquires their properties to make way for Project Phoenix. On the table: a plan to help those displaced people find new homes.
It all happens starting at 6 p.m. tonight at City Hall on Adobe Road.
