Encinitas council holds special meeting, adjourns to closed session on litigation and labor talks
Summary
The Encinitas City Council convened a special meeting and adjourned to closed session to discuss existing litigation (Walsh v. City of Encinitas, ADJ1166688 and ADJ3094701) and two labor-negotiation items, including talks with SEIU Local 221; no public comment was taken and the council said it will report out at 6:00 at the regular session.
A special meeting of the Encinitas City Council was called to consider three closed-session items and then adjourned to closed session, the meeting chair said. The agenda listed a conference with legal counsel on existing litigation identified as "Walsh versus the City of Encinitas" (case numbers ADJ1166688 and ADJ3094701) under Government Code section 54956.9.
The chair also read two labor-negotiations items under Government Code section 54957.6. The city negotiators were named as Judy Von Kalinowski, director of human resources, and Jace Schwarm, assistant city manager. One labor item was identified as negotiations with employees represented by SEIU Local 221; the other concerned "city unrepresented employees."
During roll call, Council member Alliance, Council member San Antonio and Council member Schaeffer answered present; Deputy Mayor O'Hara was not present at that moment, and Mayor Ehlers answered when called. The chair said, "We have no public speakers. We will adjourn to closed session." The council indicated it would report out at the regular session at 6:00 that day.
The transcript does not include a meeting date or any formal motions or votes; the items listed were announcements of closed-session topics and negotiators. Because the meeting moved into closed session, no further substantive public record about the litigation or labor negotiations appears in the transcript.
