Council schedules closed session under Gov. Code 54956.9 on sidewalks litigation; no reportable action taken
Summary
The council read an item under Government Code section 54956.9 concerning litigation captioned in the transcript as Citizens for a Better Los Angeles v. City of Los Angeles (case references stated in the item); the meeting moved to closed session and the transcript records that no action was taken on that item.
The City Clerk read an agenda item invoking Government Code section 54956.9 for a closed session on pending litigation captioned in the transcript as Citizens for a Better Los Angeles v. City of Los Angeles (the clerk read case references as “2 2 STSP o 3 8 22” and described the matter as related to sidewalks). The council moved into closed session to confer with legal counsel.
The clerk read: “el commit es el código 5 4 9 5 6.9 del código sección del código gubernamental para conferir con el abogado legal. Relativo con el caso de los ciudadanos para un mejor Los Ángeles y en contra la ciudad de Los Ángeles,” attributing the reading to the clerk, Señora Moreno.
At the end of the closed-session period the transcript records that “no hubo acción que se tomó” regarding the item. Council members therefore made no reportable action on this litigation item in open session, as recorded in the public transcript.
Because the item was discussed in closed session, the council did not discuss substantive litigation strategy or evidence on the public record during the meeting.
