The Yucca Valley Town Council met in regular session last night. Managing Editor Tami Roleff says park signage dominated the meeting…
A routine item on last night’s agenda of the Yucca Valley Town Council prompted the only real discussion of the meeting. The town’s Park and Recreation Commission had presented a proposal to the council to authorize the installation of monument signs at Machris and Essig parks. Council member Merl Abel thought the signs should be designed and created by local artists. However, the other council members all thought the new signs for the park should be uniform, and should match the current signs for Jacobs and Paradise parks. The council voted 4-1, with Abel dissenting, to purchase and install monument signs, at an estimated cost of $15,000, that will conform with the town’s park signs currently in place. In other business, the council also approved playground improvements—to include new play equipment and replacing the sand with wood chips—for Jacobs Park, at a cost of about $100,000 from community development block grant funds.
