After a presentation from the County’s Third District Supervisor Dawn Rowe, recognition of the Morongo Basin fire stations, a presentation from the town’s Youth Commission, and recognition of the town’s employees of the year, the Yucca Valley Town Council will get down to business at its meeting tonight. Managing editor Tami Roleff fills in what’s on the agenda…
At tonight’s meeting of the Yucca Valley Town Council, the council will be asked to approve placing liens on four properties which the town cleaned up after the properties were determined to be a public nuisance due to trash, abandonment, and weeds. The properties are: a vacant lot on Vera, owned by Scott Kamalski (emergency abatement for illegal dumping); 55601 29 Palms Highway, owned by Don Norris (abatement of overgrown vegetation on vacant lot); vacant lot on Airway, owned by Yucca Desert 6.5 LLC (homeless encampment on lot, cleaned up and trash, junk, debris hauled off); 6431 Goleta Avenue, owned by Olen Bales (abandoned property, clean up and board up).
Then the council will be asked to approve marketing plans for Measures Y and Z, that would cost $40,000 to implement.
Next up are amendments to the budget, including an increase of nearly $164,000 for the Sheriff’s contract for 2019-20.
And finally the council will be asked to increase the town’s personnel salary schedule by 0.75 percent as a cost-of-living adjustment.
The council will then go into closed session to discuss potential litigation.
Tonight’s meeting starts at 6 p.m. in the Yucca Room of the Yucca Valley Community Center.
Tonight’s meeting will be preceded by a workshop at 5 p.m. during which council members will discuss the potential development, disposition, and maintenance of town-owned properties.
