The VVAPL was asking 2 million and the town offered $750,000. The town parted the services with the VVAPL leaving an outstanding balance of $11,000 dollars. The town thought it would be cheaper to build an 8 million dollar facility than to pay a fair price for a shelter already built. The VVAPL is now trying to renovate their facility which has been built in 1958. And guess what--the town of Apple Valley won't let the VVAPL make improvements since the zoning has changed. It used to be agriculture and is now zoned residential. Its really time to get the council people out and new blood in. The current council are the same people who abused Prop N.
