The Sacramento City Council’s Jan. 7, 2025, special meeting agenda included a closed-session item to discuss pending litigation pursuant to Government Code section 54956.9(d)(1). The public remarks referenced a litigation matter with text in the transcript that reads: “Sacramento Police Officers Association First City of Sacramento BIPERB CSA CE-1276 M.”

The transcript provides the citation only as an agenda reference; no further details about claims, parties beyond what appears in the agenda text, or litigation status were provided in the public portion of the meeting. The council moved into closed session at 2:02 p.m. to address the listed items.

Because pending litigation is listed under Gov. Code §54956.9(d)(1), California law permits the council to discuss litigation strategy in closed session. Any public filings, case names, or case numbers that the city later discloses would provide public details beyond the Jan. 7 agenda reference.
