Council reports 3–2 vote in closed session approving $500,000 insurer-funded settlement
Summary
After a closed session, Lindsay City reported the council voted 3–2 to approve a settlement whose material term is that the city's insurer will pay Richard Carrillo $500,000; the council read the post‑session report and adjourned.
After returning from closed session, the council disclosed a post‑session action: by a 3–2 vote the council approved a settlement agreement. The presiding officer reported the material term of the settlement is that the city’s insurer will pay Richard Carrillo $500,000.
The disclosure was brief: the mayor or presiding officer read the vote result and the payment term and indicated that was the extent of the public report. No further details about claims, releases, or the parties’ stipulations were provided in open session. The council then adjourned.
Because the substantive settlement discussion occurred in closed session, the public record in the meeting packet and the open‑meeting disclosure is limited to the approval vote and the material financial term reported by the council.
