Mayor Kevin Wilk called a special meeting of the Walnut Creek City Council on Feb. 17, 2026, to interview candidates for city commissions and outlined how the session would proceed. He said public comments are limited to agenda items and would be taken immediately before the interviews.
“Under California law, public comments and special meetings are limited to subjects on the agenda only,” Mayor Kevin Wilk said. “Therefore, public comments will be received at this time related to interviews of commission candidates.”
Wilk also told attendees that the commission interviews would not be video recorded but could be viewed in person. “Commission interviews will not be video recorded, but can be viewed in person,” he said, before adjourning the public portion of the meeting to proceed to the interviews.
The council did not take any recorded votes or make appointments on the public record in the segments provided; the meeting moved directly to the candidate interviews after the opening remarks. The announcement that interviews would not be recorded is the principal procedural detail available from the public portion of the session.
No statutes or specific council rules beyond a general reference to California law were cited in the remarks. The council’s next publicly stated step in the transcript was to adjourn and conduct the interviews in the format described by the mayor.
