Southern California’s top air quality officials are set to go on a two-day retreat this week to Palm Desert.

Board members at the South Coast Air Quality Management District are planning to gather at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort in Palm Desert on Thursday and Friday for a series of special board meetings.

Several policy topics are on the agenda, including a proposed plan for drought management and water conservation.

It’s unclear whether the agency will allow public participation from its headquarters in Diamond Bar, for those who can’t make it to the desert.
