Manteca Council met in closed session May 6; city attorney reports no reportable actions on items B1 and B2

The Manteca City Council met in a special session on May 6, 2025, and convened a closed session at approximately 4:50 p.m. regarding agenda items B1 and B2, the city attorney reported.

The report matters because closed sessions can involve personnel, litigation or real estate that are not discussed in public; the council disclosed that it took no reportable action on the two listed items and that no members of the public spoke on those items before the session.

Mayor Singh, Vice Mayor Halford and councilmembers Breitenbucher, Lackey and Moriwick were present for the special meeting. Mary, the clerk, opened public comment and advised speakers that comments were limited to items on the agenda under Government Code section 54954.3(a) and that each speaker had three minutes. "Public comment is limited to only those items listed on this agenda per Government Code section 54954.3, subsection (a). All public comment speakers shall have only 3 minutes to speak on all items," Mary said.

Mary reported there were no attendees on the Zoom webinar and no in-person public commenters. "I have no attendees," she said, and the council proceeded to closed session.

After the closed session the city attorney reported back to the council: "There were 0 public comments before closed session on these items and there are no reportable actions on these items. Mayor, vice mayor, council, madam clerk, members of the public, this concludes my report. Thank you." The city attorney did not specify the substance of items B1 and B2 in the public report.

No motions, votes or directions to staff related to items B1 or B2 were disclosed during the public report, and the meeting then concluded.

The meeting record shows the special meeting convened, the council moved into closed session on the listed items, and that the city attorney reported no reportable actions and zero public comments on those items.
