Commission accepts settlement in Duckett v. City; commissioners vote not to disclose details
Summary
After a closed session review, the Fire Commission voted to accept the City Attorney's recommendation to settle Duckett v. City and County of San Francisco and then voted unanimously not to disclose closed-session discussions.
The San Francisco Fire Commission met in closed session Dec. 13 to consider existing litigation (Duckett v. City and County of San Francisco). Upon returning to open session the commission announced it had accepted the City Attorney's recommendation to settle the case; the action was unanimous.
Commissioners then voted on whether to disclose any details of the closed-session discussion. Commissioner Joe Alioto Veronese moved that the commission not disclose the discussions; Commissioner Michael Hardiman seconded the motion, and commissioners voted unanimously in favor of non-disclosure.
The commission did not release the terms of the settlement at the meeting and the vote to withhold disclosure was framed under the relevant state and city rules for closed-session confidentiality.
