Burbank City Council schedules closed session to discuss possible purchase of 110 West Olive

The Burbank City Council announced a closed session at 5:00 p.m. to discuss price and terms for a potential acquisition of 110 West Olive in Burbank, the city attorney said during opening remarks. The city attorney identified the closed-session item as a conference with the city's real property negotiator, Simone McFarland, assistant community development director, and cited California Government Code section 54956.9.

The closed session was disclosed publicly at the start of the council meeting and scheduled to take place before the council reconvened the public meeting at 6:00 p.m. Council leaders told the public the televised portion of the closed session would end and invited residents to view the meeting online or on television. Officials also repeated public-comment procedures and phone lines for the televised meeting.

Because the discussion is scheduled for closed session under the cited Government Code provision, the council did not disclose additional details about negotiation positions, price ranges, or other deliberations on the record. The city attorney's announcement named the property (110 West Olive) and identified the negotiator (Simone McFarland) but did not state any final decision or formal action taken in open session.

The council planned to reconvene in the council chambers at 6:00 p.m. for the public portion of the meeting; any outcomes from the closed session that are required to be reported out under state law would be disclosed at that time if applicable.
