The Vallejo City Council convened at 7:30 p.m. and immediately adjourned into closed session to meet with labor negotiators under Government Code section 54957.6, the city attorney announced.

The closed session item, described by the city attorney, named the city esignated representatives as City Manager Andrew Murray and Human Resources Director Stephanie Sufentes and identified the employee organizations as the Vallejo Police Officers Association and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 1245. No public commenters spoke before the council entered closed session.

Why it matters: meetings held under Government Code section 54957.6 allow public bodies to discuss labor negotiations in private; substantive terms, proposals and any direction given in closed session are not publicly disclosed unless the council votes later to release them.

During the roll call the mayor called the meeting to order and the clerk confirmed a quorum. After the city attorney announced the closed session item and gave the names of the designated negotiators and employee organizations, the council confirmed there were no public speakers and moved into closed session.

The council did not take any publicly disclosed votes on the subject during the open session. The councilntered executive session to discuss bargaining strategy and other matters allowed under the cited statute; any outcomes or instructions from that closed session will be confidential unless the council chooses to report them in open session later. The transcript shows no additional details about proposals, compensation figures, or tentative agreements in the open portion of the meeting.

The meeting record indicates one closed-session item on labor negotiations and no public comment before the council recessed to closed session. Further public disclosure about the content of the closed-session deliberations will be governed by state law and council policy.
