Santa Clara council moves to closed session to discuss security, labor, litigation and attorney review
Summary
The Santa Clara City Council and Stadium Authority Board adjourned into closed session to consider four items: threat to public services with a CISA briefing, labor negotiations for police and public safety units, existing litigation tied to PG&E bankruptcy and a confidential city attorney performance review focused on compensation process.
The Santa Clara City Council and the Stadium Authority Board convened a special meeting and immediately adjourned into closed session to consider four agenda items: a threat to public services or facilities matter that will include a presentation by a U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) protective security advisor; labor negotiations involving Unit 2 (Police Officers Association) and Unit 10 (Public Safety Non-Sworn Employees Association); existing litigation related to the fire victims trust release and settlement in connection with the PG&E Chapter 11 bankruptcy; and a public employee performance evaluation for the city attorney limited to review of the compensation process.
City Attorney staff read the closed-session items into the record before council adjourned. Mayor Gillmore and Vice Mayor Cox were present; Council members Shahal, Hardy, Park and Jane were present. Council Member Gonzales was not present in chambers and reportedly intended to participate remotely but did not have reception. The meeting notice indicated the closed session would be held in the Sparacino Conference Room rather than the Council Conference Room. The city attorney said any reports out of closed session will be presented in person at the council's next regular meeting on Tuesday, June 24 at 7 p.m.
No public speakers were recorded for the closed-session items during the preliminary roll call and announcement. The council did not discuss substantive details of the items on the public record at this meeting; the city attorney noted that the review of the city attorney position will focus on process rather than substantive compensation discussions.
