City attorney reports $190,000 settlement in Justin Ramirez case; city manager performance review was routine
Summary
In closed session the council unanimously approved a $190,000 settlement in Justin Ramirez v. City; the city attorney said the city manager’s performance evaluation was routine and required under contract.
The city attorney reported in open session that the City Council met in closed session and, by unanimous vote, agreed to settle the existing litigation Justin Ramirez v. City for $190,000. The city attorney also disclosed that the public employee performance evaluation for the city manager was performed as a routine contractual requirement rather than a spontaneous review.
City Attorney Turney stated the settlement figure during the closed-session report and confirmed both items were reportable. No further details about the litigation were presented at the meeting.
The council did not take additional public action on the litigation at the meeting beyond the settlement disclosure; the city will complete the settlement documentation consistent with closed-session reporting requirements.
