The Yucca Valley Town Council will hold a special closed session meeting at 2:15 p.m. today (Thursday, November 2). The sole item on the agenda is a discussion with the town’s attorney concerning a significant threat of litigation, based on a letter from a potential plaintiff. Last week, the Town of Yucca Valley received a letter from a lawyer threatening to sue the town unless it changed the way council members are elected, from an “at-large”-based system, to a district-based system. The lawyer contends that “at large” elections violate provisions of the California Voting Rights Act. The meeting will be held in the Town Hall conference room on Dumosa Avenue.
