Willows council reports direction given in closed session on labor, litigation and rejects a liability claim
Summary
After a closed session, the Willows City Council reported it gave direction on labor negotiations and anticipated litigation and unanimously rejected a liability claim by a claimant named Steve Abel.
After meeting in closed session, the Willows City Council reported publicly that it gave direction to staff on three items: labor negotiations, anticipated litigation and a liability claim.
City Attorney Andrew (last name redacted in the record) reported the council met with designated labor negotiators — City Manager Marty Brown and the city attorney — on matters involving multiple employee bargaining units; the report out stated “direction was given to staff.” The council also met on one matter of anticipated litigation under Government Code Section 54956.9(b); the city attorney reported that direction was given to staff on that item as well.
On a liability claim from an individual identified as Steve Abel against the City of Willows, the council voted unanimously to reject the claim. The attorney’s report listed the legal code sections under which the closed session was held and confirmed the council’s public report out.
No further details were provided in open session.
