The Yucca Valley Town Council meets in regular session tomorrow evening to provide an update on the operational review of the animal shelter. As part of the review, the council may authorize new employees for the Yucca Valley Animal Shelter, consider the creation of a standing committee to oversee the shelter, and create programs to improve volunteer outreach and animal foster efforts.
The council will hold a public hearing on adding solid waste treatment and handling services to the tax roll for 2025 and 2026. Though the cost of the services are already on the tax rolls, the services must be approved via public hearing each year and the cost for services may have increased in the past year due to organic waste “green bin” collection.
The Town Council will review applications for Measure Y funding, in which money collected from tax revenue will be allocated to programs and non-profit institutions for the benefit of the community. Applicants include the Joshua Tree National Park Association, Aquafit, Mil-Tree, Spark Growth, the Boys & Girls Club, the Morongo Basin Historical Museum, and more.
The Town will also receive a report from the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department on a proposal to install twenty license plate recognition cameras at five intersections throughout town.
The public meeting of the Yucca Valley Town Council begins at 5:00 p.m. Tuesday at the Yucca Valley Community Center.
