The Baldwin Park City Council convened a special meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 19. After a roll call that showed Mayor Avila, Mayor Pro Tem Damien, Council member Ayala and Council member Lozano present and Council member Estrada absent, the council announced it would enter closed session.

The meeting host stated the time and called for roll, and the council confirmed there were no requests for public communication. When asked whether anyone in the audience wished to speak, no one came forward and public comment was closed.

The presiding official then announced the council would go into closed session. The public transcript records the announcement but does not include a formal motion, the name of a mover or seconder, or a recorded vote. The closed session itself is not part of the public record; the transcript ends with the council stating it was entering that session.

Attendance on the record showed one absence: Council member Estrada was noted as not present during roll call. No ordinances, resolutions, motions with recorded outcomes, or staff presentations were recorded in the public portion of this transcript.

The council recessed into closed session; the transcript does not include any further public business or a return to open session.
