Strategic Plan
 

Historically low interest rates, pent up demand in the Southern California housing market, and continued escalation of housing costs in the urban areas have all resulted in a high level of residential and commercial growth in Yucca Valley and the Morongo Basin. This growth is responsible for significant increases in infrastructure needs and demand for public services.

 
The Town of Yucca Valley’s annual budget provides the blueprint for meeting these needs within the financial resources that are available to local government. The Town Council regularly revisits its priorities and revises the priorities to be addressed. The goal of the budget preparation process is to ensure that the Town’s spending plan in aligned with the Town Council’s strategic goals and objectives.

 

 
Now at the midpoint of a two-year budget, the Town Council is analyzing the extent to which former priorities have been satisfactorily addressed, and considering the current most pressing community needs. The priorities previously listed as the highest priorities include:

  Development of a long-range fiscal action plan
  Create a long-term plan for land acquisition and development
  Address the short-term community swimming pool issues
  Improve and pave publicly maintained roads
  Investigate dirt road maintenance alternatives
  Develop plans for flood control improvements
  Evaluate traffic safety alternatives for Camino del Cielo and State Route 62 intersection
  Assist in securing tenants for old K-Mart building
  Evaluate Town energy use and improvement alternatives
  South side community center project implementation

Several other community needs and issues are regularly under consideration for the Town Council’s “top ten” list. As the Council continues its current review, the following are among the additional issues and priorities to be evaluated:

  Local/regional animal shelter facility
  Economic development plan
  Land banking
  Legislative agenda
  Golf course
  Transportation
  Public safety
  Aquatic center
  General Plan update
  Alternative fuel and energy
  Infrastructure financing options
  Trails Master Plan implementation

The Town Council meets on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month in the Yucca Room of the Community Center. The public is encouraged to comment on Council priorities and strategic plan. Agendas and minutes are posted on this site.
