Oxnard City Council recesses to closed session to discuss potential litigation over truck-scale contract
Summary
At a council meeting, the Oxnard City Council recessed into closed session under Government Code §54956.9(d)(2) to confer about a potential litigation claim by GITokK Construction Incorporated concerning the contract to replace truck scales at the Del Norte Recycling Center and Transfer Station (Spec. No. PW02-F3).
The Oxnard City Council recessed into closed session to consider potential litigation related to a claim filed by GITokK Construction Incorporated concerning the contract for replacement of truck scales at the Del Norte Recycling Center and Transfer Station, specification No. PW02-F3.
The council cited a closed-session statutory exception for anticipated litigation, identified in the transcript as Government Code section 54956.9 (subdivision (d)(2)). The transcript records the item as a single case involving a claim filed by the contractor over the city contract; no additional public details or votes were recorded in the posted excerpt.
The item was announced as a recess into closed session; the public transcript does not record further discussion or any public action taken during that closed session. The council typically returns to open session after confidential deliberations and may report any final, reportable action in accordance with applicable law, but the transcript excerpt provided does not include a post-session report.
The matter concerns a city contract to replace truck scales at the recycling and transfer facility identified in the transcript as the Del Norte Recycling Center and Transfer Station (Specification No. PW02-F3). The transcript spells the contractor—s name and some facility names inconsistently; the record identifies the claimant as GITokK Construction Incorporated and the specification reference as PW02-F3. No dollar amounts, contract award dates, mover/second on a motion, or vote tallies were recorded in the excerpt.
Because the discussion moved to closed session under the cited litigation exception, details of legal strategy or settlement offers are not included in the public excerpt.
