Tonight’s meeting of the Yucca Valley Town Council will start at 5:30 with a closed session, during which council members will confer with counsel to discuss potential litigation, and to discuss negotiations over property at Little League Park. Managing editor Tami Roleff has the rest of tonight’s agenda…
Under the consent agenda of tonight’s meeting of the Yucca Valley Town Council, the council will be asked to deny three claims filed against the town; a complaint of damages by Lani Brown; one by Ann Barajas for the wrongful death of her son Robert Baragas in a crash last October with a Sheriff’s deputy; and one by Thomas Geiger for pain, suffering, and lost wages for the same crash. The council will also receive another update about the effect of the COVID-19 stay-at-home order on town programs. Next up will be a review of the general fund budget. And then the council will be asked to approve operational guidelines for re-opening the town. And finally, the council will receive a health and welfare update on COVID-19.
