The Encinitas City Council recessed to closed session to confer with legal counsel on two litigation matters, including Hunnyshaikh v. City of Encinitas (Case No. 37-2023-00044398-CU-PO-NC); the council said it will report out in the regular meeting.
The Encinitas City Council adjourned to closed session during its meeting to confer with legal counsel on two litigation matters, the council announced. The first item was listed as significant exposure to litigation under Government Code §54956.9(d)(2); the second was listed as existing litigation under Government Code §54956.9 and named Hunnyshaikh v. City of Encinitas, Case No. 37-2023-00044398-CU-PO-NC.
The council’s roll call showed Mayor Ehlers, Deputy Mayor Lyons and council members San Antonio, Schaeffer and O'Hara present. The council noted there were no public comments before adjourning to closed session and said it would report out from closed session later in the evening during the regular meeting.
Closed sessions under Government Code §54956.9 permit public bodies to meet privately with counsel to discuss litigation exposure or existing litigation. The council provided no additional details in open session about the substance of the litigation, possible remedies, or any settlement negotiations. The meeting record lists two closed-session items and identifies the Hunnyshaikh case by name and case number.
No votes or substantive actions on the litigation were recorded in open session; the only formal action announced in the public portion of the meeting was the council’s recess to closed session. The council said it would report any required public disclosures at the conclusion of the closed session in the regular meeting.
