Sky Valley Homeowners Association

"To maintain, preserve, and operate the Sky Valley Community Community Center building and grounds for the benefit of the public and the nonprofit organizations that serve the citizens of the Sky Valley Community."

Sky Valley Community Council was formed in 1993 under then Supervisor Corky Larson. It now consists of five members appointed by current Supervisor John Benoit and the County Board of Supervisors. The Community Council responds to Sky Valley issues involving County government. The public is encouraged to attend the council meetings, second Tuesdays, January, March, June, September, and November at 6 PM at the Community Center, and voice opinions and concerns regarding Sky Valley. See the county's council web page HERE (broadband recommended).

As of September, 2012, the Community Council has absorbed the duties of the County Service Area (CSA) 104 Advisory Committee, which maintains oversight of our roads and recommends work to be done. Our County liaison for road maintenance is now the Economic Development Agency (EDA) in Riverside. See the current status of streets in Sky Valley HERE.

Citizens should direct requests for road maintenance to one of two places:

• Washboard correction is routine maintenance, so bring your request to a Community Council meeting.
• Potholes, storm washouts, and emergency repairs are priority work, so direct requests directly to the County at 800-984-1000. Ask for CSA Road Maintenance.

Sky Valley Citizens on Patrol (COP), a sub-committee of the Community Council, is the eyes and ears for the Sheriff's Department. Since COP began protective patrols in 1995, volunteers cleared by the Sheriff's department take turns patrolling in the vehicle provided by Riverside County. Money for car phone and incidental expenses comes from donations by COP volunteers, citizens,and Sky Valley organizations. Contact the committee through the Sherrif's Sgt. Dan Devinny at 760-836-1742.

Sky Valley Emergency Team (SVET) was started in 1995 to ensure that Sky Valley residents are prepared for earthquakes, floods and other possible disasters. The team meets each month. It has developed an emergency communication system and medical supply, and it has organized volunteers to provide emergency aid. You can contact the committee through Bill Hall at 760-329-9593.

Sky Valley Hiking Club has been exploring the hills and canyons around Sky Valley and the Low Desert since May of 2008. They typically hike on Saturdays, or when things work out, on full-moon nights. They have wonderful photos from many of the hikes. See their webpage HERE (broadband required).
