YUCCA VALLEY TOWN COUNCIL CONSIDERS $2.9 MILLION PFF BUILDING RENOVATION

The Yucca Valley Town Council will be busy spending money at its meeting tonight. Managing editor Tami Roleff says a Yucca Valley Film Festival and construction plans for the library in the PFF Bank Building are on the agenda, as well as forming an advisory council for the new aquatic center, and a discussion of murals on buildings in the town…

A Yucca Valley Film Festival could well be in the town’s future this year, if the town council likes the proposal it will hear at tonight’s meeting. The organizers are requesting that the town fund the festival to the tune of $25,000.

Matt Beurois is a multi-award winning director, scriptwriter, and producer. Auregan is a producer, singer-songwriter and performer. They are the founders of the Paris Arts and Movie Awards festival. They want to bring a film festival to Yucca Valley, starting in November 2019.

Also tonight, the council will be asked to approve the renovation plans—at a cost of $2.9 million—for the new library in the old PFF Bank building.

The PFF Bank Building, bought by the Yucca Valley Redevelopment Agency in 2009, has been sitting empty on the corner of Joshua Lane and SR 247 while the Town Council decides what to do with it.

Next up, the council will be asked to give the go-ahead to forming citizens’ advisory group for the town’s new aquatic center.

And finally, the town will discuss several murals painted on building walls that are not in compliance with the town’s sign and mural ordinance.

The meeting will be followed by a closed session in which they will discuss the potential sale of the old gas station at 55460 29 Palms Highway in Old Town Yucca Valley.

Tonight’s meeting starts at 6 p.m. in the Yucca Room of the Yucca Valley Community Center.
