Vacaville City Council moves into closed session to discuss existing litigation; one item rescheduled

The Vacaville City Council convened at 5 p.m. on Dec. 9, 2025, and moved into a closed session to discuss existing litigation, the moderator announced. The moderator said one other closed-session item (agenda item 1b) would be rescheduled for a date in January.

Council attendance was confirmed in a roll call. The council members called by name during roll call included Stockton, Ritchie, Silva, an individual whose name appears in the transcript as “Free mouse,” Wiley, Vice Mayor Chapman and Mayor Carly; each name was met with a verbal “Here” response that was not separately identified on the public record. The meeting was described on the record as the regularly scheduled city council meeting.

During opening remarks the moderator told those present, “And this would be the time for the public to make any comments for our closed session which we will be going into.” The moderator later said, “So with that we're gonna go ahead and move into closed session.” No formal motion text, vote tally or mover/second was recorded in the available portion of the transcript; the council proceeded directly into closed session.

The transcript indicates item 1a will be discussed as existing litigation; the moderator said item 1b would be rescheduled to January, but no specific January date was provided on the record. Because the remainder of the meeting was taken into closed session, no further public deliberations or votes on the regular agenda are recorded in the public portion of the transcript.

The council’s next publicly stated step was to recess into closed session to address the listed litigation matter; the transcript does not show any subsequent public actions or outcomes for the closed-session topics.
