2010 Mayor Steve Flock

Welcome to the City of Twentynine Palms, California. We invite you to explore our Web site and learn more about our desert community, its government, civic services, economic development, recreational opportunities, and cultural amenities. Our goal is to provide timely online access to City matters and resources for residents, visitors, businesses, and others who are seeking information about our community.

For your convenience, agendas, minutes, and staff reports for City Council and Planning Commission meetings are available online, along with public notices, bid notices, and City news releases. We also offer frequently requested forms and permit applications from our Community Development Department and online registration for Recreation Dept. sports and activities.

The City of Twentynine Palms, incorporated in 1987, is home to 30,000+ residents and is located in the Morongo Basin on the southern edge of the Mojave Desert, roughly 50 miles north of Palm Springs. We have an active public arts program and world-class Oasis of Murals, 300+ days of sunshine a year, brilliant starry night skies, well-maintained parks and recreational facilities, abundant natural and cultural amenities, reasonably priced housing, and ample lodging for tourists.

Twentynine Palms is the gateway to Joshua Tree National Park and home to Park Headquarters and the Oasis Visitor Center. The park’s scenic 800,000 acres border Twentynine Palms to the south, featuring monolithic rock formations, ancient Joshua trees, two desert eco-systems, rock climbing, hiking, and camping for 1.4 million visitors each year.

Our neighbor to the north is the world’s largest Marine Corps training base, the 932-square-mile Marine Air Ground Task Force Training Command, Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms. The city’s proximity to MCAGCC provides economic support for the community and civilian employment for many residents of Twentynine Palms.

As Mayor of Twentynine Palms, I am very excited about the positive changes we will witness in 2010. As we see many of our plans and dreams become reality, your City Council will continue to plan a future that will insure a safe, clean, and economically sound city that our citizens can be proud of and our guests will enjoy visiting. Your city government is committed to providing for the needs of a growing population while preserving the qualities that make Twentynine Palms so special.

Please let us know if we can assist you or answer any questions. Feel free to contact our City Staff by phone (760)367-6799, email: info(at)ci.twentynine-palms.ca.us, or a personal visit to City Hall at 6136 Adobe Road.
