Board reports proposed $100,000 settlement in Agarilar case
Summary
County counsel told the board that, in closed session under Government Code section 54956.9(d)(1), members unanimously approved a proposed $100,000 settlement in Yvette Agarilar v. County of Orange, subject to final approvals and release via the CEO risk management office.
County counsel reported that the Orange County Board of Supervisors met in closed session under Government Code section 54956.9(d)(1) and "unanimously approved a proposed $100,000 settlement in the matter of Yvette Agarilar versus the County of Orange," pending final approval by other parties, counsel said.
Counsel told the board the case arose from a motor‑vehicle collision on the 55 Freeway in which an "OC" bridal care vehicle struck the plaintiff's Volvo, causing personal injury and property damage. Counsel said copies of the finalized settlement agreement will be made available through the office of the CEO risk management division to any person who inquires.
No further reportable actions were taken in closed session, counsel added. The board did not vote publicly on the settlement at the meeting; counsel described the approval taken in closed session as subject to any additional final approvals required by law or policy.
The statement cited Government Code section 54956.9(d)(1), the closed‑session exception that permits deliberations to consider the settlement of pending litigation. The county did not provide additional details in the open meeting about the terms beyond the dollar amount, the timing of payment, or the final approving authorities.
