The Ojai City Council approved a special meeting agenda and adjourned into closed session Friday to discuss labor negotiations concerning the city’s "Charlie" drivers and the city’s unrepresented employees.
A staff member told the council, "No reportable action is expected on either, and no final action can be taken on compensation in closed session." The council moved forward after a motion to approve the special meeting agenda was made and seconded on the record.
