Seaside council to meet in closed session to discuss city manager recruitment
Summary
The council announced it will convene a closed session under California Government Code section 54957 to consider public employment — the city manager recruitment — and said no announcement is expected after the session.
The Seaside City Council announced it would meet in closed session Friday, Dec. 20, 2024, to discuss a matter of public employment: the city manager recruitment. The city attorney read the closed-session citation on the record and told the public the council did not expect to make an announcement after returning to open session.
On the record, the city attorney said: "The council will meet in closed session to discuss a matter of public employment pursuant to government code section 54957. That position is the city manager recruitment. And for the benefit of the public, I do not believe there will be any announce out after return from closed session this evening." The city opened public comment on the closed-session item and heard from one member of the public.
Resident Carlo Lobo asked whether the council had narrowed candidates and whether the public should have access to vetting logistics. "Have we narrowed down candidates? Are we still in the process of, vetting candidates, logistics that the public should have access to?" Lobo asked. The mayor and city attorney did not provide candidate details on the public record, citing the closed-session process.
The council then recessed to closed session; no final action or announcement was made on the public record at the time the transcript ends.
