The Parlier City Council went into closed session on Dec. 19 to discuss two liability claims against the city and, upon returning, reported it had authorized a settlement for claimant Bricieta Escobar.

City staff announced in open session that the council had authorized settlement authority for Miss Escobar. The transcript records the amount as "12008.23.26," which appears to be a formatting or transcription error. The council placed the settlement authorization on the public record when it reconvened from closed session.

No additional details about the settlement terms, the identity of a mover or seconder, or a recorded roll-call vote were provided in the open record at the time the action was announced. The other closed-session item, a claim by Carolyn Rhodes (claim FR1029320002), was listed for discussion but no outcome for that claim was announced in the public report-out.
