Last night’s Yucca Valley Town Council meeting was host to the Mayor’s State of the Town Address, as well as an update on the youth commission. Reporter Joshua King has more details…
The meeting began with the State of the Town Address, which mayor Jeff Drozd kept light with a game of Yucca Valley Trivial Pursuit throughout. In his speech, he thanked essential workers and emergency servicemembers, called attention to the year’s list of completed public works projects, and promoted the theme of resilience.
Following that, Merl Abel was elected as the new mayor and Jim Schooler was elected as the mayor pro tem.
There was then an update on the amendment to the town ordinance about Yucca Valley Youth Commission, to allow junior high and high school students to participate even if they are not attending a Yucca Valley school. The meeting then concluded with a presentation from Tri-Valley Little League which showcased improvements to the landscaping of Olympic and Brehm Parks.
