The City of 29 Palms is examining the feasibility of consolidating operations of the City with the 29 Palms Water District and the 29 Palms Cemetery District. Gary Daigneault has more….
The City Council is expected to request that LAFCO, the agency that oversees elected bodies in the county, do a service review to identify potential savings of community resources with the elimination of redundant tasks and services within the Twentynine Palms Community. Included in the request will be the Twentynine Palms Water District operations of retail water management; the City of Twentynine Palms municipal operations in development of Wastewater and Sewer, Roads, recreations, law enforcement, land use management, and parks; and the Twentynine Palms Public Cemetery District operations with operations of public cemetery. The resolution says the report may be used as a basis to initiate agency sphere-of-influence updates and address identified service deficiencies. The City resolution says a local stakeholder group will be formed to identify operational and financial reasons for potential consolidation.
