Summary
Early in the Aug. 28 meeting the council unanimously agreed to add an item of potential litigation to the closed-session agenda under Government Code section 54954.2, finding the matter arose after the agenda posting and requires immediate attention.
At the outset of the Aug. 28 meeting the Cerritos City Council voted unanimously to add an item regarding potential litigation to the closed-session agenda under Government Code section 54954.2. City attorney and staff explained the statutory criteria allowing an unposted item to be added when it arises after agenda posting and requires immediate consideration before the next regular meeting.
A council member moved to add the closed-session litigation matter, a second was given, and the council voted 5–0 to place the item on the closed-session agenda. The council later recessed into closed session to discuss that matter along with labor negotiation items.
No details of the potential litigation were discussed in open session, consistent with the law governing closed-session confidentiality.
