Subject: Fall/Winter 2026-27 Planned Programs - Community Services Dept Recommendation:
That the Town Council approve the Fall/Winter 2026-27 programs and events organized and conducted by the Community Services Department.
Prior Review:
The TC regularly reviews/approves the planned programs of the Department prior to the publication of seasonal activity guides.
Discussion:
The programming staff of the Hi-Desert Nature Museum, Recreation Division, and the Senior Center of the Community Services Department have developed a schedule of programs and events that will be offered in the fall and winter of 2026-27 (October through March).

In mid-September, the fall/winter activities and events guide will be distributed to the community and posted on the Town website.
Of note is that the Fall/Winter Guide will not include programming details for the YV Aquatics & Recreation Center. A supplemental guide to launch the facility is being prepared as a feature publication to introduce the facility once a final opening date has been scheduled.
Highlights of the 2026-27 Fall/Winter Planned Programs:
SPECIAL EVENTS: Fall/Winter is a busy season for special events. The Department hosts a variety of large-scale presentations that can draw over a thousand attendees. • Early October will feature a pickleball courts Grand Opening that will showcase the new facility at the community center and include demonstrations/intro to the sport as well as food, music and fun.
• October also features the popular Spooktacular event on the 24th, which regularly draws a large crowd to the community center. This year’s presentation will be themed to the Museum’s fall exhibit, “The Journey is the Destination – 100 Years of Route 66,” scheduled to open on Saturday, October 17, 2026, and will feature a car show, trick-or-treat stations, and a haunted carnival.
• The Murder Mystery Dinner returns on October 10th as “Till Death Do Us Part: All is Fair in Love and Murder” takes the stage for this dinner show experience. A terrific Halloween season outing for adults.

The Fall/Winter 2026–27 lineup builds upon successful existing programs while introducing new offerings designed to increase participation, expand programming for all ages, and generate interest leading into the opening of the new facility.
• Basketball: Youth Basketball remains one of the Town's cornerstone recreation programs and will continue to include the Wee-Hoops Academy for ages 4–6, the Pee Wee League for Grades 1–2, and the Youth Basketball League for Grades 3–8.

• Softball: Building on last year's successful expansion, the Town will continue offering Adult Softball three nights per week with Coed Leagues on Tuesdays and Thursdays and a Men's League on Wednesdays. The program continues to offer Spring, Summer, and Fall league seasons, providing consistent recreational opportunities while accommodating community interest in one of the most popular adult sports programs. • Pickleball: Pickleball programming continues to grow as one of the Town's fastestexpanding recreational activities. Returning Morning and Evening Skills Clinics will provide instructional opportunities for beginning and intermediate players, while new Strategy Workshops and Specialty Clinics will help participants develop advanced techniques and game strategy. New Youth Pickleball Clinics will introduce younger players to the sport and encourage lifelong participation. To celebrate the completion of the new pickleball courts at the Yucca Valley Community Center Sports Complex, staff will host a community Grand Opening event featuring introductory clinics, open play opportunities, and activities to showcase this new recreational amenity. • Fitness: The Sports & Wellness Division continues to offer a diverse selection of fitness and movement-based classes that encourage healthy lifestyles and active recreation for participants of all ages.

Alongside the panoramic color photography of Andy Romanoff and Brian Helder, the exhibition uses scent, led by Sofia Collette Ehrich, The Olfactory Contractor, as a tool to interpret the people, places, memories and culture of the Mother Road. Related programming includes the presentation Discovering the Sensory Heritage of Route 66 and a hand-lettering workshop with Gold West Signs. • The Museum and Recreation Departments will once again host the annual Halloween Spooktacular on Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 12:00–4:00 p.m.
This year's haunted carnival and classic car show will celebrate the history and spirit of Route 66.
• Holiday programming will include a soap and bath bomb workshop with Dissertation Soap in November and a nature ornament activity during the Town's annual Craft Faire and Snow Play Day in December.
• In January, the Museum will debut Bombus! The Natural History of Bumble Bees, an exhibition that brings to life the beauty, ecological importance, and joy of California’s charismatic native bees. Complementary programming will include a lecture on local bee species in January and a family STEAM Day in February. • March will mark the opening of Wondrous Waste: 2027 Recycled Art Exhibition, showcasing innovative works created from repurposed and recycled materials.
The exhibition highlights sustainability, environmental awareness, and the creative transformation of discarded objects into meaningful works of art. A reception is scheduled for Saturday, March 27, 2027.
• During Spring Break, the Museum will offer two children's art and science workshops inspired by the recycled art exhibition, encouraging participants to explore creativity, sustainability, and the value of reusing everyday materials. • Building on the success of last year's pilot program with Morongo Unified School District for fourth-grade field trips, the Museum plans to expand the program this year to serve students from two to three local elementary schools.

Subject: November 2026 General Municipal Election – Certification of Nominees and Election Options
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution 26-XX, canceling the General Municipal Election for the Town of Yucca Valley for Town Council Districts 1 and 3, and providing for the appointment of the sole nominees to the offices of Town Council Member for those districts, at the General Municipal Election on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.

California Elections Code § 10229 allows the Town Council, when only one person has been nominated in a legislative district, to cancel the election in that district and appoint that person to office in lieu of election.
In accordance with the Elections Code, the nomination period for interested residents to seek candidacy for a seat on the Town Council opened on July 13, 2026 and closed on August 7, 2026. During this period, the following residents filed the appropriate nomination papers and qualified as candidates.
District 1 District 3 District 5
Jim Schooler Merl R Abel Rick Denison
Dion Antic
At the close of the nomination period on August 7, 2026, only one person was nominated in Districts 1 and 3. Elections Code § 10229 allows the Town Council to take one of the following actions for each district:
1. Appoint the person nominated for that district; or
2. Direct that the election be held for that district.
A person appointed under no. 1, above, will qualify, take office, and serve a four-year term exactly as if elected at the municipal election. If the Town Council adopts the proposed Resolution, Jim Schooler will be appointed in District 1 and Merl R. Abel will be appointed in District 3, and the elections in Districts 1 and 3 will be canceled.
Alternatives
The Town Council may choose to not make an appointment and instead direct that the election be held in Districts 1 and 3.
