The Twentynine Palms City Council will kick off tonight’s meeting with six presentations, including an update on current projects from Reach Out Yucca Valley, a recap of “Dine in 29” and Restaurant Week, info on the upcoming Creche Festival, a filing of the city’s annual Comprehensive Financial Report, an audit report on federal awards the year, and a presentation by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department on the new Flock Camera System.
Next, the council will host a public hearing on the abatement of an abandoned lot that had become an illegal dumping ground. The Planning Commission had declared the lot a Public Nuisance and the city hauled away trash, debris, and an abandoned motorhome at a cost of nearly $18K. The council will likely order the property owner, Ronald Russell of Redlands, to repay the city within 10 days of the hearing.
The council will then discuss a proposal from the non-profit organization, Molding Hearts, to provide housing and rehabilitative services for the homeless. With a look to the future, the council will then consider contracting services with Moore Iacofano Goltsman, Inc. (MIG), an urban planning and design firm, to conduct a comprehensive long-term strategic planning initiative.
The meeting takes place on Tuesday, November 12, at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall, 6136 Adobe Road. It can be livestreamed or viewed on-demand via the city’s website, www.29palms.org.
