Ramos Pushes For Joshua Tree Board Meeting Video Hook-up

At the behest of Third District Supervisor James Ramos, the county is looking into establishing a videoconferencing site at the Joshua Tree Government Center to allow residents of Joshua Tree, Twentynine Palms and Yucca Valley remote access to address the board of supervisors at their normally scheduled meetings.
Ramos said he wanted San Bernardino County Chief Executive Officer Greg Devereux “to research the costs to establish and operate a videoconferencing site at the Joshua Tree Government Center and present those findings to the board of supervisors at the February 26, 2013 meeting.”
Ramos continued, “San Bernardino County is the largest geographical county in the United States and, as a result, it can be difficult for members of the public throughout the county to attend regular board meetings, which take place at the county seat in San Bernardino. On May 25, 2010 the board approved a pilot program to establish and operate a videoconferencing location in Victorville to allow for remote participation in board meetings. Establishment of a remote videoconferencing site at the Joshua Tree Government Center would provide residents in the Morongo Basin with improved access to participate in board meetings.”
