Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in San Bernardino County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Barstow-to-Needles OHV corridor funding
$250,000 was moved from an off-road race initiative to Hammerking Productions to plan an off-highway vehicle corridor between Barstow and Needles. Desert residents objected that public money is going to a private for-profit company and that riding corridors threaten the Mojave Trails National Monument.
Stormwater Mandates
New stormwater regulations are projected to cost San Bernardino County and its cities a staggering $11 billion. This massive price tag could force local leaders to pull funding from other essential community services to pay for the mandate.
Solid Waste Disposal System Strategic Plan
County staff presented an update on the solid waste system, highlighting long-term landfill capacity, financial reserves, and strategies for managing out-of-county waste imports.
