Santa Barbara City Council adjourns to closed session on labor talks and employee evaluation
Summary
At a special meeting Tuesday, the Santa Barbara City Council moved into closed session to receive instructions on labor negotiations and to conduct a public-employee performance evaluation under identified Government Code provisions; no public reports were anticipated and no public votes were recorded.
The Santa Barbara City Council on Tuesday adjourned its public meeting and convened a closed session to receive instructions on labor negotiations and to conduct a public-employee performance evaluation.
City staff read two agenda items at the special meeting: Item 1, a conference with the city—hief negotiator under Government Code section 54957.6 to discuss negotiations with multiple bargaining units; and Item 2, a public-employee performance evaluation under Government Code section 54957(b)(1). The agenda named City human-resources staff and legal staff as negotiators and listed multiple employee organizations and groups by name.
The agenda listed the Service Employees International Union Local 620; the Santa Barbara City Employees Association General Bargaining Unit; the Fire Management Association; the Santa Barbara City Firefighters Association; the Police Officers Association; the Police Management Association; the Santa Barbara City Supervisory Employees; the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees; and unrepresented managers and confidential employees. Staff said at the meeting that "there are no reports anticipated on either of those items." Public comment was called; staff reported no callers online.
With that, the council adjourned the public meeting and recessed into closed session, saying it would reconvene at 2:00 p.m. The public portion of the transcript contains no formal votes or outcomes on the listed items.
Closed sessions held under Government Code section 54957.6 and Government Code section 54957(b)(1) are not reported publicly in detail while they are underway; any disclosures or report-outs required by law would appear in later public minutes or a subsequent meeting agenda, if provided.
