Summary
The Porterville City Council entered closed session to consider the appointment of a city manager under California Government Code section 54957, and the city manager said no report out was anticipated.
The Porterville City Council moved into closed session to consider the appointment of a city manager under California Government Code section 54957, the city manager said.
The city manager told the council, "Tonight, we have for closed session 1 item. Item 1 is government code section 54,957, public employee appointment, employment, title, city manager." The manager added, "There is no anticipated, report out after the closed session as well." The council then recessed into closed session.
The item cited—California Government Code section 54957—authorizes closed-session discussions concerning public employee appointments and related personnel matters. The city manager’s announcement made clear the council did not plan to publicly report the outcome at the meeting’s end.
Mayor Meister formally moved the meeting into closed session, saying, "Okay, we'll go in the closed session." No motions, votes, or public decisions about the appointment were recorded in the meeting transcript prior to the recess.
Because deliberations on public-employee appointments are confidential under state law, the council’s discussions and any final personnel actions were not described in the public record at this meeting.
