Though the Twentynine Palms City Council meetings are closed to the public due to COVID-19, the mayor and councilmembers will still gather this evening at 6 p.m. while maintaining a safe distance from one another.
The council will discuss urgent cost-cutting actions due to COVID-19, such as the defunding and closing of certain projects: Trails Flood Control Plan, Animal Control Quarantine Building, Amboy and Hatch/Sullivan bike paths, El Sol curb and gutter, playground equipment, and an electronic sign.
With a potential overall costs savings of over $860K, the funds might still be applied to new roofing and other repairs to the Animal Control Building. The remainder of those funds may be divided equally to the Covid-19 Stabilization Fund and Project Phoenix.
The council will also officially accept the completed work on the Highway 62/Adobe Road traffic signal modification project and note the contract conclusion with PTM General Engineering Services.
