The city of Healdsburg faces a new legal challenge as it transitions to district-based elections.
A resident alleges the city violated open meeting laws during a recent council meeting where they discussed the switch. This comes after the city received a legal threat demanding the change to address potential voting inequities. Residents have expressed concerns about the proposed system, particularly regarding the selection of the mayor.
The city aims to complete the transition by 2026, though the process has been met with some opposition and legal challenges.
