City attorney reports three potential litigation matters; no reportable action, council member Ortiz recused from related items
Summary
The city attorney reported three items were discussed in closed session — Mandeville litigation, a preservation‑of‑evidence request from the San Bernardino Police Officers Association involving current and former council members, and a County of San Bernardino letter on outstanding property taxes — and said there was no reportable action.
The city attorney reported out that the mayor and council met in closed session to discuss three matters: anticipated litigation concerning Mandeville, a request from attorneys for the San Bernardino Police Officers Association to preserve evidence in a matter that involves a current and a former council member, and a letter from the County of San Bernardino seeking payment of outstanding property taxes.
Why it matters: The topics reported involve potential litigation and a preservation request tied to elected officials; the city attorney said there was no reportable action from closed session.
Recusal The city attorney stated that one matter of significant exposure and one initiation of litigation involved Council Member Ortiz, and that Ortiz recused herself from those discussions. The city attorney closed the report by saying there was no reportable action.
No formal votes were announced in open session about these closed‑session items.
