Council moves to closed session on personnel evaluations and three lawsuits
Summary
The council recessed into closed session to consider the city attorney and city manager performance evaluations and to confer with legal counsel on three existing lawsuits named in open session.
At the end of the public-comment period, the city attorney recited five closed-session items for the council to consider: 5.1 the public-employee performance evaluation of the city attorney, 5.2 the public-employee performance evaluation of the city manager, 5.3 conference with legal counsel on existing litigation (Micaela Polacco v. City of National City), 5.4 conference on Kallie Mota v. City of National City, and 5.5 existing litigation BCD LLC v. City of Nashville City.
The city attorney read the case names in open session before the council recessed into closed session. No public votes or outcomes for those items were reported in the open portion of the meeting.
The closed session notice aligns with repeated public comments earlier in the meeting about the city attorney’s conduct, alleged procedural irregularities, and ongoing litigation; the council’s review of personnel and legal matters in closed session is consistent with state law provisions that allow confidential consideration of personnel and litigation strategy.
The record of the meeting’s open session ends with the council entering closed session; any decisions or directions from the closed session would be reflected later in minutes or subsequent public reports if and when the council chooses to disclose them.
