Board reports closed session: Inyo County authorizes counsel to defend lawsuit filed by Ms. Phillips
Summary
County counsel reported the board unanimously approved authorizing the county counsel’s office to defend the lawsuit filed by Ms. Phillips; the board received reports from staff on labor negotiations but took no reportable action under labor item.
County Counsel Vallejo reported at the April 8 session of the Inyo County Board of Supervisors that the board met in closed session and unanimously authorized the County Counsel’s office to defend the lawsuit filed by Ms. Phillips.
Vallejo also said the board received staff reports related to the agenda’s labor-negotiations item but took no action that must be publicly reported under applicable closed-session reporting rules.
The board convened to closed session under two agenda items: conference with legal counsel regarding existing litigation and conference with the county’s labor negotiators. After returning to open session, Vallejo read the required report to the board and public.
Why it matters: The board’s authorization directs the county’s legal team to proceed with defense in the named lawsuit; no other reportable decisions were announced from the labor-negotiations item.
What’s next: County Counsel’s office will handle the defense of the suit. No other directions or public actions were reported following closed session.
