Kings County Board of Supervisors Special Meeting (07/10/2026)

The Kings County Board of Supervisors held a special meeting on July 10, 2026, primarily to address the issue of filling four vacant seats on the Avenue City Council following a recall election. The Elections Department presented a resolution to place all four vacant seats on the November 3, 2026, general election ballot, as the city council had not timely called an election to fill these vacancies. Legal counsel confirmed that recalled officials are barred from running to succeed themselves in the recall election. The board discussed the lack of authority to appoint council members directly and emphasized the importance of restoring lawful governance and democracy to the city of Avenue. After public comments expressing support for the resolution and concerns about ongoing governance issues, the board unanimously approved the resolution to place the four seats on the ballot. The meeting concluded with an announcement of a closed session on related litigation matters.
