The Santa Barbara City Council convened a special meeting and adjourned to closed session to consider two pending lawsuits against the city, the council clerk announced.
The closed-session items were listed as meeting with the city attorney pursuant to California Government Code section 54956.9(d)(1) to consider pending litigation. The clerk identified the matters as Nikki Student v. City of Santa Barbara (Workers' Compensation Appeals Board case number 80J14168103) and Pamela T. Boucher v. City of Santa Barbara (Santa Barbara Superior Court case number 24CV07195).
Council members were called for roll and marked present before the clerk read the closed-session items into the record. The clerk asked whether any members of the public wished to speak; none were present in the chamber and no online speakers were on the line. The meeting then recessed into closed session.
The council did not record any public discussion, motions, or votes on the record before adjourning to closed session; any deliberations and actions taken in closed session are confidential under state law and would be disclosed later only as permitted by law.
