Council appoints Rashaan Atnam to represent city in water-rights mediation
Summary
After a closed session on existing litigation, the council reported it unanimously appointed Council member Rashaan Atnam to represent the city in water-rights mediation; the item was reported by the attorney and the meeting adjourned.
At a brief special meeting, the City Council unanimously appointed Council member Rashaan Atnam to represent the city in ongoing water-rights mediation, the attorney reported after a closed session.
The action was reported after the council moved into closed session to discuss existing litigation described in the meeting as including matters called “Mojave” and “Starshoes.” An attorney told the council, “One item was considered by the council, and that pertains to water rights litigation,” and said the council had unanimously appointed Atnam to represent the city in the mediation because the mayor’s employment with the U.S. Navy required a different representative.
The council convened with Mayor Endicott and four council members present, and opened the meeting with a motion to approve the agenda, which passed by a 5-0 voice vote. There were no public comments on items on the agenda.
After reporting the closed-session outcome, the meeting concluded and the council adjourned.
No additional details about the mediation, including dates, the names of opposing parties, or the precise scope of the appointment, were provided in the public report from the meeting.
