City Council enters closed session over Greek Theater litigation dispute

The Los Angeles City Council meeting on January 26, 2000, addressed significant legal matters, including ongoing litigation involving a contracted party. Council members discussed a lawsuit that may involve either the city or petitioners, prompting a suggestion to enter an executive session for further deliberation.

During the meeting, Council member Weingard brought attention to Item 34, which pertains to the Greek Theater. A hearing related to this matter was scheduled for later that afternoon at 1:30 PM. The council considered the implications of the litigation and the necessity of discussing it in a closed session, as allowed under government code.

The discussions highlighted the complexities of the city's legal challenges and the importance of confidentiality in ongoing litigation. The council's decision to potentially enter an executive session underscores the seriousness of the issues at hand and the need for careful consideration of the city's legal strategies moving forward.
