AN ORDINANCE OF THE YUCCA VALLEY TOWN COUNCIL AMENDING CHAPTER

12.60 (ENCROACHMENTS AND EXCAVATIONS) OF TITLE 12 (VEHICLES AND

TRAFFIC) OF THE YUCCA VALLEY MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADD A NEW SECTION

12.60.295 GOVERNING STREET RESTORATION
The Yucca Valley Town Council does ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. Findings. The Town Council finds, determines and declares as follows:

A. Government Code § 38775 authorizes the Town of Yucca Valley (the “Town”) to prohibit encroachments and obstructions on public property and may provide for the removal of any prohibited encroachments.

B. The Town may regulate encroachments on public property, including but not limited to, sidewalks, alleys, streets, and other public places by requiring an encroachment permit and permitting the encroachment under specified conditions. Laura Vincent Co. v. City of Selma (1941) 43 Cal.App.2d 273) C. Yucca Valley Municipal Code (“YVMC”) Chapter 12.60 (Encroachments and Excavations) of Title 12 (Vehicle and Traffic) establishes regulations for the Town’s management of the public rights of way in the interest of the public health, safety, and welfare, including those related to encroachments into the public rights of way under Town control.

D. The City Council seeks to modify YVMC Chapter 12.60 to add a new Section

12.60.295 to establish restoration and paving requirements for roadway restoration as full-width street reconstruction of roads can realize cost efficiencies that are lost through piecemeal road repair.

SECTION 2: Amendments. YVMC Chapter 12.60 (Encroachments and Excavations) of Title 12 (Vehicle and Traffic) is amended to add a new Section 12.60.295, which will read as follows:
“12.60.295 Pavement Restoration and Paving Requirements.

A. General; Scope. Unless the Administrative Authority finds that the public health safety, and welfare requires alternative methods, the requirements in this section will control the restoration of street surfaces disturbed during construction of sewer mains, laterals, manholes, cleanouts, or associated appurtenances. Such restoration projects in Town-controlled streets must be approved by the Administrative Authority pursuant to this chapter. Notwithstanding anything in this section to the contrary, the pavement restoration and paving requirements

4896-2738-5705 v1
herein will not apply to any person or entity operating under a valid franchise agreement that the Town has duly granted under state law.

B. Full-Width Paving Requirement.

1. Subject to subsection 3, below, when sewer mainlines and/or sewer lateral trenches encroach into an existing street surface, the full width of the affected street surface must be restored if any of the following conditions exist:
a. When trenching exceeds four feet in width or occupies more than 25% of the street or roadway width;
b. When two or more trenches are installed within the same block length, from intersection to intersection;
c. When sewer laterals are installed at intervals such that partial or piecemeal trench restoration would negatively affect pavement continuity and drivability for the relevant street or road; or
d. The Administrative Authority finds that full-width restoration is necessary due to poor pavement conditions that preceded the encroachment or in the interest of long-term performance of the affected street.

2. Full-width paving must consist of cold milling the entire width of the impacted street lane or lanes, followed by resurfacing with a minimum of two inches of asphalt concrete, or per the standards set forth in above in Section 12.60.060, whichever is greater.

3. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Administrative Authority may waive the full width street replacement requirement if:
a. It is in the interest of the public health, safety, or welfare to restore only a portion of the street;
b. It would unduly burden an interested party to effectuate the full width street replacement; or
c. Otherwise required by law.

C. Restoration Limits.

1. Longitudinal restoration must extend a minimum of five feet beyond the edge of the excavation or to the nearest undisturbed joint or curb line.

4896-2738-5705 v1

2. The traverse restoration must match the full width of the roadway or travel lane, as applicable.

3. Transitions between restored and existing pavement must be smooth and feathered to ensure no abrupt change in grade.

D. Temporary Restoration. Until permanent paving under this section is completed, all trenches must be restored to the satisfaction of the Administrative Authority and in accordance with the standards set forth above in Section 12.60.060.

Restoration may include the use of cold mix asphalt, steel trench plates, and adequate traffic control.

E. Governing Standards. Standards for work conducted pursuant this section must comply with the performance requirements set forth above in Section 12.60.060, in addition to Hi-Desert Water District Construction Specifications, as applicable.” SECTION 3: Environmental Assessment. This Ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000, et seq.; “CEQA”) and CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15000, et seq.) because it governs the restoration of existing public rights of way and does not authorize the significant expansion of existing infrastructure.

Further, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that there will be a potential significant environmental impact from requiring proper restoration of already-disturbed Town streets. This Ordinance, therefore, is categorically exempt from further CEQA review under CEQA Guidelines §§ 15301 (Class 1, Existing Facilities) and 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption).

SECTION 4: Construction. This Ordinance must be broadly construed to achieve the purposes stated in this Ordinance. It is the Town Council’s intent that the provisions of this Ordinance be interpreted or implemented by the Town and others in a manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this Ordinance.

SECTION 5: Summaries of Information. All summaries of information in the findings herein are based on the substantial evidence in the record. The absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an indication that a particular finding is not based in part on that fact.

SECTION 6: Severability. If any part of this Ordinance or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Town Council intends that such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, this Ordinance’s provisions are severable.

SECTION 7: Recordation. The City Clerk, or designee, is directed to certify the passage and adoption of this Ordinance; case it to be entered into the Town of Yucca Valley’s book of original ordinances; make a note of the passage and adoption of this Ordinance and cause it to be published or posted in accordance with California law.

SECTION 8: Effective Date. This Ordinance will become effective 30 days after second

4896-2738-5705 v1
reading and adoption.

PASSED AND ADOPTED this 21st day of October, 2025.

Town of Yucca Valley
Town Council Staff Report
To: Town Council
From: Alex Qishta, Public Works Director
Date: October 14, 2025
Meeting Date: October 21, 2025
Subject: Authorization to Purchase Engineering Plotter, Kip 740C Series Recommendation:

That the Town Council:
• Authorizes the purchase of the Kip 740C Series plotter for the Engineering Division in the amount of $31,185.04.
• Amends the FY2025-26 General Fund Budget, allocating a total of $31,228 for the equipment purchase as identified in Exhibit A.

Prior Review:

None.

Discussion:

The Town currently utilizes a Canon TX-4100 plotter for large-format printing needs, including plans, maps, construction drawings, and other technical documents. The unit has slower performance and limited functionality compared to current technology. These limitations have impacted staff efficiency and the ability to produce high-quality large-format materials in a timely manner.

Staff has evaluated available wide-format printing options and is recommending the KIP 740C series as the most cost-effective and technologically advanced replacement. The KIP 740C is a wide-format color system that provides the following benefits:
• Enhanced Productivity: High-speed output for both color and black-and-white documents.
• Versatility: Ability to handle technical drawings, renderings, maps, and graphics within a single system.
• Quality: Superior image quality and color accuracy for professional-grade presentation. • Efficiency: Streamlined workflow with integrated scanning and copying functions.

• Sustainability: Energy-efficient design and reduced consumable usage compared to legacy equipment.

By transitioning to the KIP 740C, staff will be able to improve efficiency and ensure that largeformat production capabilities keep pace with departmental and project needs.

Staff received three quotes for the Kip 740C Plotter, with the lowest quote coming out to $31,185.04, as shown below:

Company Total Cost (tax included)
AIS $31,185.04
Steven Enterprises $32,616.44
ABD Office
Solutions
$36,975.00
Alternatives
None.

Fiscal Impact:

The purchase price of the new plotter will be offset by $14,028 in grant funds from the FY24 EMPG grant. The remainder will be accommodated by the FY2025-25 General Fund Engineering division budget. The cost breakdown for the Kip740C Plotter is as follows:

Kip 740C Plotter (includes freight in, installation, delivery training, and IT setup)
$28,675.90
Sales Tax $2,509.14
Total Cost $31,185.04
The FY 2025-26 Budget is recommended to be amended for project funding as follows:

Funding Source Amount
FY24 EMPG Grant $14,028.00
Engineering General Fund (001 51) $17,200.00
Total Budget $31,228.00

Town of Yucca Valley
Town Council Staff Report
To: Town Council
From: Alex Qishta, Public Works Director
Date: October 14, 2025
Meeting Date: October 21, 2025
Subject: Yucca Mesa & Buena Vista Intersection Improvements Project, Town Project No. 7073.

Award of Construction Contract
Recommendation:

That the Town Council:
• Amend the FY2025-26 Special Revenue Fund Budget Measure I Fund 524, allocating $320,000 of undesignated reserve funds to accommodate the total project cost of $420,000
• Adopt Resolution 25-XX to amend the Measure I Five-Year Capital Improvement Program and Expenditure Strategy for Fiscal Years 2025/2026 to 2029/2030 by adding the Yucca Mesa & Buena Vista Intersection Project with total construction amount of $420,000;
• Approve the award of a construction contract with LCR Earthwork & Engineering of Norco, California, in the amount of $354,650.00 to construct Yucca Mesa & Buena Vista Intersection Project;
• Authorize construction, construction contingencies, and inspection costs in the total amount of $420,000.00; and
• Authorize the Mayor, Town Manager, and Town Attorney to execute the agreement, and authorizes the Town Manager or designee to expend contingency funds, if necessary, for project completion.

Prior Review:

On August 19, 2025, the Town Council adopted Resolution No. 25-18, approving plans, specifications, and estimates for the construction of the Yucca Mesa & Buena Vista Intersection Improvements Project, Project No. 7073 and authorized the Town Clerk to advertise and receive bids.

Discussion:

The Yucca Mesa & Buena Vista intersection is heavily traveled by daily commuters and semitrucks as it is part of the Town of Yucca Valley’s truck route. The intersection has an Average Daily Traffic count of 8,000 vehicles per day. Both roads are directly accessible from the two main highways, SR 62 and SR 247.

The limit for this project is the intersection of Yucca Mesa Road and Buena Vista Drive. The Project will consist of widening the intersection, upgrading the pavement surface from asphalt concrete to reinforced concrete, as well as curb, gutter, and striping. The current intersection is offset from the centerline of Yucca Mesa Road.

Project plans and specifications were prepared, and the project was advertised for public bidding in the High Desert Star Newspaper. In addition, the project was advertised on F. W.

Dodge, Construction Bid Board, High Desert Plan Room, Bid America Online, and the Town’s website.

Sealed bids were received and opened on September 18, 2025. The Town receive four (4) bids as follows:

Bidder City Base Bid
LCR Earthwork and Engineering Jurupa $354,650.00
Van Engineering Jurupa $486,590.00
Granite Construction Indio $589,942.00
Onyx Paving Company, Inc. Anaheim $717,000.00
Staff reviewed the bid packages and confirmed that LCR Earthwork & Engineering of Norco, California, is the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with a total bid amount of $354,650.00. If awarded by the Mayor and Town Council, construction work is anticipated to begin in December 2025 and be completed by February 2026.

Alternatives
No alternatives are recommended by staff. The recommended action is necessary for the project to move forward.

Fiscal Impact:

This project is recommended for funding from the Town's Local Measure I Special Revenue Fund 524. The breakdown of the improvement work costs follows:

Construction Bid Amount $354,650.00
Construction Contingency $45,350.00
Engineering and Inspections $20,000.00
Total Project Cost $420,000.00
The current FY2025-26 Amended Fund 524 Budget includes $100,000 of funding for the Yucca Mesa and Buena Vista Intersection Improvement project. It is recommended to allocate an

additional $320,000 of Measure I Funds towards the project with this Council action.

Town Council Staff Report
To: Town Council
From: Alex Qishta, Public Works Director, Shane Stueckle, Deputy Town Manager Date: October 14, 2025
Meeting Date: October 21, 2025
Subject: 56370 Buena Vista Drive Demolition Project – Town Project No. 8070 Award of Construction Contract
Recommendation:

That the Town Council:
• Approves the award of a construction contract with UBD, Inc., in the amount of $34,777.00 for the 56370 Buena Vista Drive Demolition Project; • Authorizes construction, construction contingencies, and inspection costs in the total amount of $41,000.00; and
• Authorizes the Mayor, Town Manager, and Town Attorney to execute the agreement, and authorizes the Town Manager to expend contingency funds, if necessary, for project completion.

Prior Review:

On September 16, 2025, the Town Council adopted Resolution No. 25-23, approving plans, specifications and estimates for the advertised demolition of 56370 Buena Vista Drive Demolition Project, Town Project No. 8070, and authorizing the Town Clerk to advertise and receive bids.

Discussion:

The property at 56370 Buena Vista Drive has remained vacant following the owner’s death.

During this period, the residence was involved in a fire incident that caused significant structural damage. Successors in interest are unable to fund remediation or demolition of the damaged structure. As a result, the Town has initiated a Public Works project for the demolition of the structure, the end of utility services, and clearing of the site.

Property title research has identified no additional lien or interest holders in the property.

Proper notice has been sent to the property owner to abate the public nuisance as required by Town regulations. All utilities will be disconnected, and all septic tanks and leach lines will be

removed and back-filled.

The 56370 Buena Vista Drive Demolition Project will consist of the demolition of all structures, removal of all concrete foundations and site concrete, and disposal of all demolished materials.

Additionally, testing for asbestos materials was conducted, finding no presence of asbestos in the building.

Project plans and specifications were prepared, and the project was advertised for public bidding in the High Desert Star Newspaper. In addition, the project was advertised on F. W.

Dodge, Construction Bid Board, High Desert Plan Room, Bid America Online, and the Town’s website.

Sealed bids were received and opened on October 9, 2025. The Town received five (5) bids as follows:

Bidder City Base Bid
UBD, Inc. North Hollywood, CA $34,777.00
Capo A General Contracting San Juan Capistrano, CA $37,984.00 Tri-Star Contracting II, Inc. Desert Hot Springs, CA $73,146.00 Integrated Demolition and
Remediation, Inc.

Anaheim, CA $88,800.00
Valley Pipeline Services, Inc. Palm Desert, CA $163,000.00 The Town has reviewed the bid packages and confirmed that UBD, Inc., of North Hollywood, California, is the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with a total bid amount of $34,777.00. If awarded by the Mayor and Town Council, construction work is anticipated to begin in November 2025 and be completed by December 2025.

Alternatives
No alternatives are recommended by staff. The recommended action is necessary for the project to move forward.

Fiscal Impact:

The overall cost of the improvement work breaks down as follows:

Construction Bid Amount $34,777.00
Construction Contingency and Inspections $6,223.00
Total Project Cost $41,000.00
The total project cost is accommodated by the Adopted FY2025-26 General Fund Budget Code Compliance division's appropriate budget for abatement and substandard building costs.

WHEREAS, Pursuant to Section 17958.5 of the Health and Safety Code of the State of California, The Town Council of the Town of Yucca Valley hereby finds that the amendments of the building standards contained in the California Building Code, Volumes 1, 2, 2025 Edition are necessary to address local conditions.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF YUCCA VALLEY, CALIFORNIA HEREBY RESOLVES, FINDS AND DETERMINES AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The Town Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the recitals of this Resolution are true and correct.

A. The Town is subject to extremely strong winds, commonly known as “Santa Ana Winds” which can reach speeds in excess of 90 miles per hour. Extensive damage frequently accompanies these winds, such as blowing sand and debris, downed power lines, fallen trees, overturned vehicles and structural damage to buildings.

These conditions result in increased demand for fire services, blocked or delayed emergency vehicle access and impaired water supplies and building emergency systems.

B. During the summer months, the Santa Ana Winds may produce periods of extremely low humidity, thereby reducing the fuels moisture and increasing the possibility and severity of fire from dry vegetation and other common

combustibles.

C. During the summer months, much of the Town experiences prolonged periods of temperatures in excess of 100°F. When coupled with sustained severe Santa Ana Winds, an increase in the threat from rapidly moving wildfires exists.

D. During the winter months, heavy rains routinely cause damage to roadways rendering them completely impassible, or with limited access, sometimes for extended periods.

E. During winter months, heavy snow and ice conditions exist in the mountain areas resulting in increased demand for fire services and limiting or delaying emergency vehicle access. In some cases, emergency vehicle access roads are completely impassible, or have limited access, sometimes for extended periods.

LOCAL GEOLOGICAL CONDITIONS:

A. The Town is subject to moderately strong to severe shaking and surface ruptures resulting from known earthquake faults located within or near the Town. These local earthquake faults have the potential to cause severe personal and property damage, utility interruptions, fire hazards and hazardous materials releases.

Additionally, significant roadway, bridge structure, water supply and communications systems are subject to failure, thereby causing a detriment to emergency services response.

B. Unstable slopes in several areas throughout the Town have experienced soil movement as a result of heavy or soaking rains, resulting in damage to roadways, structures and utilities.

LOCAL TOPOGRAPHICAL CONDITIONS:

A. The Town encompasses an area with limited access routes connecting areas developed with street and utility infrastructure from underdeveloped areas. This distance, combined with these limited access routes, results in delays in the reallocation of resources to emergency scenes.

B. The topography of the Town is exceptionally diverse, ranging from relatively flat desert and valley areas, to foothill areas, and canyon areas. This results in some areas that are inaccessible to radio communications, which hampers emergency response capabilities.

C. The diverse topography of the Town, combined with numerous areas of lacking infrastructure, results in many areas having limited, and unreliable or unavailable water supplies available for firefighting purposes.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE OF THE TOWN OF YUCCA VALLEY, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING TITLE 8 OF THE TOWN OF YUCCA VALLEY MUNICIPAL CODE BY THE ADDITION OF CHAPTER 8.02.115, AND 8.02.125 AMENDING CHAPTERS 8.02.010, 8.02.020, 8.02.030,

8.02.040, 8.02.050, 8.02.060, 8.02.070, 8.02.080, 8.02.090, 8.02.110, AND 8.02.120, ADOPTING AS MODIFIED THE 2025 EDITION OF THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE VOLUMS 1, 2 INCLUDING THE APPENDIX AND STANDARDS, THE 2025 EDITION OF THE CALIFORNIA ELECTRICAL CODE, THE 2025 EDITION OF THE CALIFORNIA PLUMBING CODE, THE 2025 EDITION OF THE CALIFORNIA MECHANICAL CODE, THE 2025 EDITION OF THE CALIFORNIA GREEN BUILDING CODE, THE 2025 EDITION OF THE CALIFORNIA RESIDENTIAL CODE, THE 2025 EDITION CALIFORNIA ENERGY CODE, THE 2025 EDITION OF THE CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE, THE 2025

EDITION OF THE CALIFORNIA WILDLAND URBAN INTERFACE CODE, AND ADOPTING OTHER REGULATIONS RELATING TO BUILDING REQUIREMENTS.

The Town Council of the Town of Yucca Valley, California does ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. Findings
A. Government Code Sections 50022.1 et seq., provide that ordinances and codes of the federal, state or any agency of either of them may be adopted by reference, provided that prior to such adoption by reference a noticed public hearing has been held.

B. Pursuant to Section 17958.5 of the Health and Safety Code of the State of California, The Town Council of the Town of Yucca Valley hereby finds that the amendments of the building standards contained in the California Building Code, volumes 1, 2, 2019 Edition are necessary due to:

1. Local Climatic Conditions:
a. The Town is subject to extremely strong winds, commonly known as "Santa Ana Winds" which can reach speeds in excess of ninety (90) miles per hour. Extensive damage frequently accompanies these winds, such as blowing sand and debris, downed power lines, fallen trees, overturned vehicles and structural damage to buildings. These conditions result in increased demand for fire services, blocked or delayed emergency vehicle access and impaired water supplies and building emergency systems. b. During the summer months, the Santa Ana Winds may produce periods of extremely low humidity, thereby reducing the fuels moisture and increasing the possibility and severity of fire from dry vegetation and other common combustibles. c. During the summer months, much of the Town experiences prolonged periods of temperatures in excess of one hundred degrees Fahrenheit (100°F). When coupled with

sustained severe Santa Ana Winds, an increase in the threat from rapidly moving wildfires exists.
d. During the winter months, heavy rains routinely cause damage to roadways rendering them completely impassible, or with limited access, sometimes for extended periods. e. During winter months, heavy snow and ice conditions exist in the mountain areas resulting in increased demand for fire services and limiting or delaying emergency vehicle access. In some cases, emergency vehicle access roads are completely impassible, or have limited access, sometimes for extended periods.

2. Local Geological Conditions:
a. The Town is subject to moderately strong to severe shaking and surface ruptures resulting from known earthquake faults located within or near the Town. These local earthquake faults have the potential to cause severe personal and property damage, utility interruptions, fire hazards and hazardous materials releases. Additionally, significant roadway, bridge structure, water supply and communications systems are subject to failure, thereby causing a detriment to emergency services response. b. Unstable slopes in several areas throughout the Town have experienced soil movement as a result of heavy or soaking rains, resulting in damage to roadways, structures and utilities.
c. Some desert areas of the Town have limited aquifers, exceptionally deep aquifers or aquifers providing only brackish or contaminated water supplies. These limits, or in some cases eliminates, water supplies available for firefighting purposes.

3. Local Topographical Conditions:
a. The Town encompasses an area with limited access routes connecting valley, mountain and desert areas. This distance, combined with these limited access routes, results in delays in the reallocation of resources to emergency scenes. b. The topography of the Town is exceptionally diverse, ranging from relatively flat desert and valley areas, to foothill areas, and canyon areas. This results in some areas that are inaccessible to radio communications, which hampers emergency response capabilities. c. The diverse topography of the Town results in many areas having limited, unreliable or unavailable water supplies available for firefighting purposes.

C. Copies of these codes and standards were filed with the office of the Town Clerk fifteen (15) days prior to the noticed hearing.

D. A noticed public hearing has been held by the Town Council, at which time all interested persons had the opportunity to appear and be heard on the matter of adopting by reference the current editions of certain model codes, as follows:

1. California Building Code, 2025 Edition, volumes 1,2 with Appendices.

2. California Residential Code, 2025 Edition with Appendices.

3. California Mechanical Code, 2025 Edition with Appendix and Standards

4. California Plumbing Code, 2025 Edition with Appendix H.

E. Pursuant to section 17958.5 of the Health and Safety Code of the State of California, The Town Council of the Town of Yucca Valley hereby finds that the amendments of the building standards contained in the California Building Code, volumes 1, 2, 2022 Edition are necessary due to past earthquakes (Landers 1992) and the inherent run off problems incurred with severe thunderstorm activity and flooding due to the Town's desert location.

Town of Yucca Valley
Town Council Staff Report
To: Town Council
From: Jordan Gumbish, Finance Manager, Bree Francis, Staff Accountant Date: October 8, 2025
Meeting Date: October 21, 2025
Subject: 2025-26 Purchase Order Encumbrances and Project Carry Forwards Recommendation:

Adopt Resolution No. 25-XX Approving the 2025-26 Purchase Order Encumbrances and Project Carry Forwards as identified in Exhibits A and B.

Prior Review:

Discussion:

The encumbrances and projects identified in the attached schedules (Exhibits A and B) represent expenditures that were authorized and approved, but not completed or invoiced as of June 30, 2025. These are contracts executed but not all services received and billed as of the end of the fiscal year and authorized capital projects that have been planned, approved and budgeted for, but not yet initiated or completed. The total carry forward into Fiscal Year 2025- 26 General Fund is $195,000.

The approval of the encumbrance schedule will transfer the authorized amount from the Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget to the current fiscal year 2025-26 budget. These funds were not expended in the prior fiscal year, and therefore, there is no net impact on total expenditures for the contract or project. This process simply moves the expenditure authorization from one fiscal year to the next.

Pursuant to the Town’s Budget Resolution, for all special revenue funds, unexpended appropriations for approved individual capital projects will be carried forward as necessary.

Those special revenue funds with carry forwards are attached as Exhibit B. In addition to unexpended appropriations, there may be transfers and revenue included in the Special Revenue Fund Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget.

Alternatives
None

Fiscal Impact:

Total requested general fund carryovers are $195,000. This amount will reduce the amount of funds available for designation from FY2024-25 fund balance.

Attachments

1. Reso Budget Carryforward FY25-26

2. Exhibit A- General Fund Budget Summary FY24-26 10.21.25

3. Exhibit B - Special Revenue Funds Carry Forwards 25-26

RESOLUTION NO. 25-XX

A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF YUCCA VALLEY, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 BUDGET.

WHEREAS, the Town Council of the Town of Yucca Valley has adopted a budget for the Town’s 2025-26 fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, amendments are required to reflect changes in appropriations from the original adopted budget.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE TOWN COUNCIL resolves as follows:

1. A total of $195,000 is appropriated as reflected in Exhibit “A” to cover amounts encumbered during the 2024-25 fiscal year within the Town’s General Fund (001) as identified and amends the Fiscal Year 2025-26 General Fund budget.

2. Amends the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Special Revenue Fund budgets as identified in Exhibits B.

APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 21st day of October 2025.

Town of Yucca Valley
Town Council Staff Report
To: Town Council
From: Iryna Hess, Accounting Technician
Date: September 22, 2025
Meeting Date: October 21, 2025
Subject: AB1234 Reporting Requirements
Recommendation:

Receive and file the AB1234 Reporting Requirement Schedule for the month of September 2025.

Prior Review:

Current reimbursement policy for Council members and Successor Agency members reviewed and approved by Council August 2006.

Discussion:

AB1234 requires members of a legislative body to report on “meetings” attended at public expense at the next meeting of the legislative body. “Meetings” for purpose of this section are tied to the Brown Act meaning of the term: any congregation of a majority of the members of a legislative body at the same time and place to hear, discuss, or deliberate upon any item that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the legislative body or the local agency to which it pertains. Qualifying expenses include reimbursement to the member related to meals, lodging, and travel.

An example of when a report is required is when a Town Council member represents his or her agency on a joint powers agency board and the Town pays for the official’s expenses for serving in that representative's capacity. Additionally, in the spirit of AB1234, the Yucca Valley Town Council also reports all travel related to conference and training attended at public expense.

Although the AB1234 report can be either written or oral, this report must be made at the next meetings of the legislative body that paid for its member to attend the meeting.

Alternatives
None for this item.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no anticipated financial impact associated with the recommended approval of AB1234 reporting requirements.

Yucca Valley Town Council
57090 Twentynine Palms Hwy.

Yucca Valley, CA 92284
Dear Town Council Members:

What makes a community a desirable place to live? Inarguably, a great part of the attraction is the activities, recreation, parks, facilities, and public art. We are fortunate to reside in a community that regards these as vital aspects to the Town’s appeal.

The completion of Brehm Park and the soon-to-be-completed Aquatic Center are testaments to the Town’s long-term vision. The additional leisure and recreational activities will go a long way toward advancing the needs of community members, and I welcome the opportunity to be a part of the discussion.

Further, the innovative and diverse programming offered at the Hi Desert Nature Museum recently, has been a valuable resource to both children and adults. Supporting and increasing the programming in our museum, for both adults and children, is vital to the educational and cultural enrichment of our community and visitors.

Lastly, public art defines a community, speaks to its historical legacy, and illustrates the value and consideration given to artists in all mediums. Artists are part of Yucca Valley’s history: Howard Pierce and Antone Martin both left legacies here for the enjoyment of all. And with the recent calls for artists to submit work in various mediums, our town continues this tradition.

As a long-time resident of 46 years in Yucca Valley, I would be a valuable addition to the team of Commissioners. I’ve experienced the growth of our town through the years, and I look forward to collaborating with the Commission to meet the diverse needs of our community. The new residents, new businesses, and visitors from around the world visiting Joshua Tree National Park, make this an exciting time to be involved. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
Kim Monnie

Respected, Town of Yucca Valley,
I want to thank you for giving me this time to explain why I want to serve the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Commission. I mainly want to get involved in the community. I go to the park often. Also try to go to local events you hold like the Renaissance festival. I enjoy going out with my son. My wish is to be a member and to really help the community join and have others enjoy this town for what it has to offer. I believe we can do more as a town this year has proven it for how many events this spring/summer. Plus with the new Aquatic and Recreation Center that is being built it gives me hope. I’m grateful for you taking this time and hope you consider me for a member. I myself know that I could bring a perspective and skills that can make this the most exceptional town in California or the U.S.A.

I would like to further introduce myself in consideration for a PRCC Commissioner position. My name is Megan Ripley, and my diverse experiences make me an ideal candidate for the commission. I understand Yucca Valley’s potential to become a premier destination for outdoor exploration, rich in history and culture, embodying the theme of resilience. My husband and I love hiking with our dogs in the trails behind our house and enjoying all the nature that comes through our yard. Previously, we lived in an “up and coming” area on the Eastside of Indianapolis, where I served on the Windsor Park Neighborhood Association. There, I utilized Robert's Rules of Order to organize residents and advance initiatives that fostered community engagement. While there, we organized neighborhood cleanups and plantings, educating the community about Windsor Park’s unique history and ecological significance within the outskirts of the 12th largest city in America.

Overcoming Stage 3 Breast Cancer prompted us to move here 8 years ago. Our goal was simple: to live as if we were retired. Of course, as a Homeschool Mom and Business Owner with my husband, my definition of “retirement” differs from the conventional. Notably, Yucca Valley has an unusually high percentage of residents over 65. This offers a clear example of how to best utilize one’s “retirement” years. Our community has a heart to pour into the people of the area and see everyone succeed. Our family has enjoyed many local programs that residents of all ages are involved in; including the Youth Tennis program, Youth Basketball, and supporting the Miracle League. This is my second application for this position, a testament to my positive persistence. As I pursued climbing the ranks of the corporate ladder at Gannett, the largest newspaper company in the country at the time, I applied to be a Sales Manager in our department 9 times before being selected, often due to my youthful appearance and fun, exuberant demeanor.

But I am serious, serious about having FUN. In an effort to show my leadership skills and further climb the ranks in our department, I created the Wellness Committee. The Wellness Committee aimed to boost job satisfaction and performance by fostering camaraderie and encouraging healthy habits, such as improved eating and movement breaks, within our largely sedentary workplace.

Together, we walked enough steps to metaphorically “cover” all the markets we supported across the United States. We designed and sold Wellness Committee T-Shirts, raising over $900 for the Megan S. Ott Foundation, which supports those undergoing breast cancer treatments. Since our office was located within the downtown Indianapolis mall, we organized a Laser Tag Tournament that allowed for teams to come together and excel in ways beyond their sales accomplishments. Upon being offered the Sales Manager position, I continued to leverage “fun and games” to motivate my team of 10 sales associates, leading to success in a market that had underperformed for three years. As a Sales Manager at Gannett, my favorite part was guiding my team through complex, emerging advertising concepts by using a fun, more informal approach.

Fast forward to today. I am a stay-at-home mom, homeschooling my three children, ages 14, 12, and

4. Similarly, as a Homeschool Mom, I most enjoy helping my children grasp challenging concepts. I remain committed to keeping FUN, MOVEMENT, and EDUCATION the core of our everyday values.

Our area is rich in history, and Yucca Valley’s unique topography and abundance of the rare and controversial Joshua Tree set it apart from the rest of the Morongo Basin. As a cancer survivor who has studied longevity and fulfillment, I’ve learned that stress management is key to living a chronic disease free life. Science indicates that regular exposure to nature and exercise significantly increases overall wellness and happiness.

I want to encourage everyone to incorporate enjoyable movement into everyday life, make choices that promote well-being, and learn about the persistence and resilience of our town’s founders and current supporters. Both visitors and residents benefit from Yucca Valley's low-stress, highly beautiful environment. I aspire to help position Yucca Valley as the premier destination for testing physical limits, breathing the nation’s freshest air, and experiencing unparalleled natural beauty, day and night.

The unique way I use my talents to encourage and motivate people will be an asset to the PRCC Commission as the work continues to promote community well-being and engagement.

Dear Members of the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Commission, I am writing to express my interest in serving on the Town of Yucca Valley’s Parks, Recreation and Cultural Commission. As a resident of the Town of Yucca Valley since 2021, I am passionate about promoting the quality of life in our community through vibrant public spaces, engaging events, and inclusive recreational activities.

I’ve long believed that strong parks and cultural programs are vital to building community connections, supporting physical, mental, and emotional wellness. My background in healthcare has equipped me with skills in organizing and planning and given me a collaborative mindset. I am eager to take on a more active role in shaping the future of our community’s recreational and cultural offerings. Through dedication, we can continue to make the town of Yucca Valley a great place to live, work, and raise families. I would be honored to contribute to the Commission’s effort by sharing my perspectives and skills, providing inputs, collaborating with fellow members, and advocating for inclusive and innovative programs that serve residents of all ages and backgrounds.

Thank you for considering my application. I am happy to provide any additional information and would welcome the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to our community in this capacity.

Sincerely,
Nina Thai

Dear Members of the Selection Committee,
I am submitting this letter in support of my application to serve on the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Commission. As a lifelong athlete and competitor, native Angeleno and recent Brooklynite, l feel strongly that I can make a positive and significant contribution to the commission.

My professional background is rooted in creative marketing, athletics, entrepreneurship, military service, real estate, the arts and academia. I’ve operated as a high-level creative, offering artistic feedback, analysis and direction on countless multimedia projects with budgets well into the multi-million-dollar range.

As a graduate student studying Mental Health Counseling, the opportunity to collaborate and engage with members of the community is equally as important to me. I value this community and as a veteran of the United States Air National Guard, I understand better than most the level of service required to keep it not only running, but thriving.

Thank you for reviewing my application. I’d be honored to serve.

Sincerely,
Ric Richardson

Job Experience, Special Skills or Qualifications
Summarize your work experience, special skills and qualifications you have acquired from employment, previous volunteer work, or through other activities, including hobbies or sports: Text Originally educated as a Civil Engineer, I've had some prior experience working in the public sector for the county of Orange's engineering department, in their project management division. However, the majority of my professional experience has been in the software industry. Over the past few years, I’ve been pivoting into the fascinating world of architecture, urban planning, and real estate development.

Since moving to the Morongo Basin nearly 7 years ago, I've become heavily involved in the local community, previously volunteering for the HDWD's Public Action Committee and Morongo Basin Youth Soccer Association. I am eager to continue getting more involved at the town and believe the Revenue Oversight Committee for Measure Y/Z is a great place to start! Eric Linnert

TO: Yucca Valley Town Council
Parks, Recreation and Cultural Commission
Town of Yucca Valley
Yucca Valley, CA
Dear Members of the Town Council,
I am writing to express my sincere interest in serving on the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Commission for the Town of Yucca Valley. As a business owner, creative professional, and active community advocate, I bring a unique blend of experience in strategic planning, facilitation, inclusive programming and passion for the arts—qualities I believe align well with the Commission’s goals and mission.

With over 35 years of professional experience in the governmental sector and creative industries— including interior design and wardrobe styling—I bring a keen understanding of aesthetics, public art, and event planning. These skills are directly applicable to shaping the visual and cultural landscape of Yucca Valley. In addition, my refined skills in collaboration, consensus-building, and problem-solving are the core competencies essential to serving effectively in an advisory capacity. I am also an enthusiastic participant in the town’s recreational programs, particularly as a regular pickleball player and supporter of the upcoming Aquatics Center.

My motivation for joining the Commission stems from a deep appreciation for the Town, the role that parks, recreation, and cultural offerings play in fostering community connection, wellness, and pride. I am especially passionate about expanding inclusive programming for seniors, people with disabilities, and underserved populations, and I hope to support initiatives that reflect the diverse needs of our residents.

I hold a B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management and have furthered my education through programs at UCLA and professional certifications in person-centered planning. I believe my cross-disciplinary background—in business, advocacy, and the arts—equips me to be a thoughtful, creative, and collaborative contributor to the Commission’s work.

It would be an honor to support the Town Council in shaping the future of Yucca Valley’s parks and cultural initiatives.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Warm regards,
Julie Ebin LaRose

1) Job Experience, Special Skills or Qualifications
Summarize your work experience, special skills and qualifications you have acquired from employment, previous volunteer work, or through other activities, including hobbies or sports:

I currently own and operate a business within the governmental sector, where I work as a facilitator and advocate for individuals with developmental disabilities. My work centers on collaboration, strategic problem-solving, and diplomacy—qualifications that are highly applicable to advisory roles such as the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Commission. I am very well versed in working within a team framework, listening to diverse perspectives, and building consensus around shared goals.

I also have over 35 years of experience in creative arts industries as an Interior Designer and Wardrobe Stylist, which has given me a strong understanding of visual design, public aesthetics, and project planning—skills that translate directly to public art review and event development.

My extensive background in Business Management and Marketing will support effective communication, outreach, and planning strategies that are essential when advising on community programming or recreational services.

I currently serve on the board of directors of AquaFit (formerly known as, The Center for Healthy Generations) in Yucca Valley, where I recently led a full rebranding and renaming initiative there. This speaks to my ability to translate vision into action and reflects my ability to lead meaningful projects that blend strategy with community impact.

In terms of recreation, I’m an avid pickleball player, participating regularly in local tournaments and ladder leagues. I utilize the town’s courts and recreational activities frequently, and I look forward to the upcoming Aquatics Center. My hands-on involvement in town recreation gives me firsthand experience with the programs and infrastructure that serve Yucca Valley residents. 2) Explain Your Reasoning to Serve on a Commission/Committee Express your reason for seeking a position as an appointed Commissioner or Committee Member:

I am passionate about our town and believe that the quality of our public spaces, recreational programs, and cultural offerings plays a vital role in community wellness. So, I am eager to give back to it by contributing to the town’s continued growth and vitality through serving on the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Commission.

My goal is to be an active, thoughtful participant in shaping the future of our parks, open spaces, and community events. I’m particularly interested in supporting inclusive programming— especially for seniors and underserved populations—and helping expand access to recreation and

cultural engagement for all residents. I am also deeply supportive of the arts and believe strongly in the value of public art and museum programming in enhancing civic pride and quality of life.

With a background in business, community advocacy, and the arts, I bring a well-rounded, collaborative mindset that aligns with the advisory nature of the Commission’s work. I would be honored to support the Town Council in making informed, community-centered decisions. 3) Education
