Update: Our YouTube account has been restored! Upon review YouTube has appropriately decided that we did not violate their Terms of Service. So you can once again view community meetings regarding the Wonder Inn!

Hmm…  We discovered this morning that our YouTube account has been terminated. 

We just started the account this week, and the only things on it were a recording of our Community Informational Meeting from January 28, plus a playlist created to share videos the community recorded during the public meeting held at the Wonder Valley Community Center in May of 2022.

It’s hard to see how this constituted “severe or repeated violations” of YouTube Guidelines, specifically “spam, scams or commercially deceptive content.” We never received a warning, as required by YouTube policy. 

We are appealing.  In the meantime, we’ll investigate other avenues to make the full record of our community meeting available.  And you can still find a few clips from the Jan 28 meeting and many clips from the May 2022 meeting if you search “Wonder Inn community meeting” on YouTube.

On a more positive note:  We have a new Resources page!  So far it includes links to the Initial Study documents (with all 895 pages of the Appendices!); important policy documents such as the Countywide Plan and the Wonder Valley Community Action Guide; and guides to CEQA, including Pat Flanagan’s helpful “CEQA 101” presentation. 

And check this out:  County Giving Them the Bum’s Rush on Resort Approval, Wonder Valley Residents Say in the San Bernardino County Sentinel.  The article includes some background on David Mlynarski, the “politically well-connected development professional who is working on behalf of the project proponents”, and his company Transtech Engineers, Inc.    

Steady as she goes, neighbors.
