Budget is on the mind for tonight’s Yucca Valley Town Council Meeting. The Slurry/Cape Seal Project and the California Welcome Center have funding on the docket, and the council will be advised to reject current bids for the Old Town Beautification Project, opening the door for a new round of bidding.
The town council will review a Memorandum of Understanding with the County of San Bernardino Department of Public Health to expand vector control services within Yucca Valley. Vector control is the method to limit the spread of animals or insects that transmit disease, such as mosquitoes, fleas, rodents, or other pests. The increase of mosquitoes in the Morongo Basin over the past several years has resulted in greater community interest in these services. If approved, the County will provide monitoring, testing, and educational services on vector control within the town.
The Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Commission will also submit their recommendations for the Utility Box Program to the town council. This initiative of the Public Arts Program will cover six Yucca Valley utility boxes with art by local artists. The art installation is scheduled to begin later this month.
The Town Council meeting is open to the public and will be held tonight at 6 p.m. at the Yucca Valley Community Center. The meeting can also be attended online here.
