After a month off, the Yucca Valley Town Council meets for the first time in 2012 tonight. The meeting starts off with a closed session at 5 p.m. in the Town Hall Conference Room to discuss potential litigation and to negotiate for two lots on Church Street, one just north of Joshua Drive and the other on the southeast corner of Church and Onaga Trail. After the closed session, the Town’s Redevelopment Agency will meet at 5:30 in the Yucca Room. On the agenda is an updated list of obligations owed by the RDA. The regular Town Council meeting begins at 6 in the Yucca Room of the community center. Among the items on the consent agenda are the second reading of the underground utility ordinance, and the awarding of a contract for a splash park at the community center, highway and street improvements. Among the items on the action agenda are the selection of a bank for Town business; the appointment of a Council Member to the Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District, and the awarding of a contract for public outreach services for a November election to implement a 1 percent sales tax in the Town. Finally, the Council will be asked to vote on naming the Town as the successor to the Redevelopment Agency.
