Needles council reports approval of Teamsters side letter after closed-session negotiations
Summary
After closed session, the city reported approval of a side letter with Teamsters Local 1932 covering unclassified employees; the council recorded the motion and a roll-call vote in open session and staff said no other reportable actions were taken in the executive session.
The Needles City Council reported in open session that it met in closed session to address several items including anticipated litigation, real-property negotiations and labor negotiations under California Government Code §54957.6. City staff told the council that the only reportable action arising from the closed session was approval of a side letter agreement with Teamsters Local 1932 covering unclassified employees in the city—s bargaining unit for the 2019–2023 period.
City staff said the motion to approve the side letter was made and seconded in closed session and that the subsequent roll call recorded council members as voting in favor. No additional reportable action was disclosed for the other closed-session items involving anticipated litigation or real-property negotiations, including matters described as related to the 19th Hole at the golf course and the Tri State Alano Club property.
The city attorney advised the council that the closed-session items largely resulted in no reportable action aside from the labor agreement side letter. Staff did not provide further public details of the side letter—s specific terms at the meeting.
The council then resumed regular business and proceeded with the published agenda.
