YUBA CITY — After convening to closed session on Feb. 3, City Attorney Mr. Chaffin reported a single reportable action: the council authorized a notice of rejection by operation of law on one of the closed-session items.

At the start of the meeting staff read two closed-session items: a workers' compensation claim by John Krysler (claim numbers O596610386 and O396610361) and a liability claim by Michelle Michael Hernandez (claim number 2602) against the City of Yuba City.
