The Sacramento City Council convened a special meeting at about 3:02 p.m. and immediately adjourned to closed session to consider three items: potential initiation of litigation, a personnel performance evaluation of the interim city manager and negotiations with multiple recognized employee organizations, the council clerk said.
The closed-session items cited Government Code section 54956.9(d)(4) for the possible initiation of litigation; Government Code section 54957(b) for a personnel performance evaluation of the interim city manager; and Government Code section 54957.6 for labor negotiations. The clerk said there were no public comments on the closed-session agenda and that a quorum of the council was present in chambers. The clerk also noted that item 3 on the published agenda was omitted from the meeting.
Under item 4, the clerk read a list of recognized employee organizations the council planned to discuss in closed session, including the Sacramento City Exempt Employees Association; the Sacramento Police Officers Association; the International Union of Operating Engineers, Stationary Engineers Local 39; Sacramento Area Firefighters Local 522; Sierra Building and Construction Trades Council; Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 447; Automotive, Marine and Specialty Painters Local 1176; Western Council of Engineers; and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. The clerk identified the city's chief negotiators as Shelly Banks Robinson and Aaron Donato.
The council did not take public votes at the special meeting and adjourned into closed session. No details of the closed deliberations were disclosed at the time the meeting record ends.
The meeting record shows the items were placed on the agenda under the cited Government Code sections, which allow local legislative bodies to meet privately for specified litigation, personnel and labor-negotiation matters. The interim city manager's name and further particulars about the potential litigation or the status of negotiations were not specified in the public remarks recorded on the transcript.
