National City council moves into closed session on Polanco litigation and city manager evaluation
Summary
At the special meeting the council convened a closed session to discuss the city manager’s performance under Government Code §54957(b) and existing litigation — Polanco v. City of National City (Case No. 25CU004193C); the council reconvened briefly and said it would report out later.
The National City Council entered closed session during a special meeting to consider two items read into the record by the assistant city attorney: a public employee performance evaluation, dismissal and release related to the city manager under Government Code §54957(b), and existing litigation under Government Code §54956.9 in Polanco v. City of National City (Case No. 25CU004193C).
The city attorney told the dais and the public the meeting would move into closed session under those statutory authorities. Mayor Morrison then announced the council was entering closed session at 04:58.
Later the council reconvened briefly; the mayor said members had returned to the dais and that staff would report out on closed‑session actions at the end of the council meeting. No on‑the‑record votes or actions arising from closed session were announced before the temporary adjournment recorded on the meeting’s public transcript.
The closed‑session notice on the record referenced both personnel authority and existing‑litigation authority. The city attorney stated the litigation by name and read the case number on the record.
