Hello neighbors,
The County off-road vehicle ordinance will be reviewed by the Supervisors this Tuesday, August 21. Everyone who cares about controlling irresponsible ORV use must be there!
Ordinance 3973 has begun to turn the tide on ORV abuse in the Morongo Basin by restricting ORV trespassing and staging and by increasing enforcement. There is still much to be done, but it is critical that this major step forward not be reversed.
Opponents of the ordinance are promising to show up by the busload. They are putting a lot of pressure on the Supervisors to weaken or repeal the ordinance. If we are to keep the ordinance intact and effective, we must demonstrate strength through numbers. We are also encouraging folks to bring signs to increase our visual presence.
Community ORV Watch is arranging carpooling and also has a map link to the hearing on their Website, www.orvwatch.com. Also on the COW Website you will find Frequently Asked Questions, the text of the ordinance, and many more resources.
If you can't go on Tuesday, we ask that you call your Supervisor on Monday and tell him that you support the ordinance staying strong and intact.
Details, address, and phone numbers are below. See you there on Tuesday, August 21, 10 a.m.!
Best regards,
Christine Carraher
