Summary

After a closed session on Feb. 4 covering a liability claim, anticipated litigation and real property negotiations, the council reported it unanimously denied a claim filed by Tavari Harris; the closed-session agenda also included negotiation of two Kings Village Road parcels (APN 02260105 and 02260113).

At the Feb. 4 meeting the City Council convened three closed-session items under the California Government Code: a liability claim under Gov. Code §54956.9, anticipated litigation, and real property negotiations under Gov. Code §54956.8 for two parcels on Kings Village Road (APN 02260105 and APN 02260113).

After the closed session, the council reconvened in open session and city staff reported that "the City Council voted unanimously to deny the claim" received from Tavari Harris. No additional details about the substance of the claim or any settlement terms were disclosed in open session; staff said the council expected to report out on the claim and did so by announcing the denial.

The council did not disclose details of anticipated litigation or the real property negotiations beyond identifying the parcels and noting those matters were considered in closed session.
