Willows City Council meets in closed session on potential litigation; city attorney reports no reportable action
Summary
At a March 2 special meeting, the Willows City Council convened a closed session to consider initiation of litigation under state open-meetings law, returned at 10:46 a.m., and the city attorney reported there was no reportable action.
Willows City Council convened a special meeting at 9:00 a.m. March 2 and recessed into closed session at 9:01 a.m. to consider initiation of litigation under the state government code. The council returned at 10:46 a.m., and the city attorney said the council discussed the matter but took no reportable action.
The meeting began with the pledge of allegiance and a roll call in which Mayor Hudson, Vice Mayor Thomas, Council Member Hanson, Council Member Pray and Council Member Busby were recorded present. The clerk announced item 4(a) as a conference with legal counsel regarding initiation of litigation and said the public would have an opportunity to comment before the council entered closed session. Public comments were solicited and none were offered before the council moved into closed session.
City Attorney Gretchen reported on the return from closed session: "Council met, had a discussion, but there was no reportable action." The council adjourned at 10:46 a.m.
Because the matter was discussed in closed session under the state statutory provision cited by the clerk, the council did not disclose details of the discussion in open session beyond confirming that no reportable action was taken. No motions or votes were recorded in the public record during the meeting.
