Long Beach City Council reports three closed‑session settlements totaling $970,000
Summary
Council reported three closed‑session settlements: $495,000 in Dolly v. City of Long Beach; $175,000 in Bellamy v. City of Long Beach; and $300,000 in Welch v. City of Long Beach.
The Long Beach City Council on Jan. 20 reported three settlements approved in closed session, according to a brief report to the dais.
The city agreed to pay $495,000 to resolve Dolly v. City of Long Beach; $175,000 to resolve Bellamy v. City of Long Beach; and $300,000 to resolve Welch v. City of Long Beach. The amounts were announced during the meeting’s report out from closed session.
The council did not provide further details about the claims, underlying allegations, or whether the payouts will be charged to specific departmental budgets; the oral report gave only the case names and settlement amounts. No motions or votes on the settlements were recorded on the public record beyond the closed‑session report out.
Council members moved on to the rest of the agenda after the report. The council did not read longer summaries of the settlements into the public record at that time.
