The Yucca Valley Town Council has an extensive consent agenda for today’s regular meeting. Among the items they’ll be asked to approve are the procurement of new traffic signals at Yucca Trail and Palomar Avenue; awarding a contract for sidewalks along the highway; and allocating $100,000 in Community Development Block Grants to the Senior Center’s kitchen improvements. And finally on the consent agenda, authorizing a “friend of the court” brief that urges the U.S. Supreme Court to take up the case of a lawsuit which contends the California Voting Rights Act does not require cities to hold district-based elections. Managing editor Tami Roleff fills in the rest of the items on tonight’s agenda…
