City Attorney told the Colton City Council on July 15, 2025, that the lawsuit Jorge Luisiana Sanchez v. Miguel Angel Gonzalez has settled and asked the council to provide direction to settle the case for $265,000.

The City Attorney said, “No reportable actions were taken. I do have a report off from closed session from a previous city council meeting that has now settled on July 15, 2025 in the case of Jorge Luisiana Sanchez v. Miguel Angel Gonzalez in the City of Colton, we now need to receive direction to settle that lawsuit for the amount of $265,000. That case has now settled and as such I'm reporting that for the record.”

The report came as the council reconvened from closed session. The City Attorney began by saying the council's closed-session item produced no reportable actions and then summarized the settlement and the requested next step: formal direction from the council to complete the $265,000 settlement. The transcript does not show a motion, second, or vote on the settlement in the excerpt provided.

Mayor Kapo thanked the speaker after the report. The record in the provided transcript ends with the City Attorney's request for council direction and the mayor's acknowledgment; the council's decision or any funding source for the settlement was not specified in the excerpt.

Because the transcript excerpt contains only the readout and request for direction, it does not state whether the $265,000 would be paid from a specific fund, covered by insurance, or otherwise charged. The report also did not identify any additional conditions, related ordinances, or court filings connected to the settlement in the recorded portion of the meeting.
