Apple Valley council moves into closed session after brief roll call

The Apple Valley Town Council, sitting as the Successor Agency and Joint Powers Financing Authority, recessed its public meeting and entered closed session after a brief roll call and no public comment.

An unidentified presiding official opened the special session and invited public participation, instructing would-be speakers to fill out speaker cards and hand them to the town clerk. The presiding official cautioned attendees to behave professionally, saying, "Disruptive behavior in a public meeting is a misdemeanor under Penal Code 403, and individuals may be asked to leave the chambers and or face arrest." The official also cited municipal code sections in describing limits on responding to items not on the posted agenda.

A roll call recorded Council member Bishop present, Council member Leon present, Mayor Pro Tem Emmick present and Mayor Nassif present; Council member Cusack was noted as absent. When asked for public comment, the meeting was told there were no requests to speak.

The presiding official then moved "to go into closed session," which was seconded. The council proceeded "without objection" and recessed the public portion to convene closed session.

The public record in the provided transcript contains no further details of agenda items or deliberations; the council’s business in closed session was not disclosed in the public record.
