Costa Mesa Council opens closed session to discuss anticipation of three litigation matters
Summary
The Costa Mesa City Council convened in closed session Nov. 18 to discuss anticipation of litigation in three cases under California Government Code §54956.9(d); no substantive details or actions were announced in the public portion of the meeting.
The Costa Mesa City Council convened a closed-session meeting Tuesday, Nov. 18, where the council said it would confer with legal counsel about the anticipation of litigation in three separate matters under California Government Code §54956.9(d).
At the start of the meeting, the presiding speaker asked the clerk to read the closed-session agenda. The clerk recited Item 1 as "conference with legal counsel, anticipation of litigation for 3 cases, pursuant to California Government Code section 54956.9(d)." The clerk did not provide additional facts about the claims during the open portion of the session.
The matter is listed as an anticipated-litigation item only; the public record in the meeting transcript contains no motions, votes or further description of the cases themselves. Because the discussion moved to closed session, any substantive deliberations and legal strategy were not publicly reported in the available transcript.
The council recessed to closed session immediately after the clerk finished reading the items on the agenda; no public comment was taken in the chambers or on Zoom before the recess.
