National City council moves to closed session to discuss city manager review, litigation and Bay Front property talks
Summary
The council announced a closed session to consider three items: a public employee performance evaluation for the city manager, existing litigation identified as Roberto Umana v. the City of National City, and negotiations over Bay Front properties (APN numbers listed on the agenda).
Mayor Morrison announced the council would enter closed session and turned the floor to the city attorney, who listed three matters the council would consider behind closed doors: a public employee performance evaluation for the city manager; a conference with legal counsel on existing litigation, which the attorney identified as "Roberto Umana versus the City of National City"; and a conference on real property negotiations concerning the Bay Front properties, with APN numbers on the meeting agenda.
A council member interjected after the announcement to question why the mayor’s executive assistant had been involved in calling a prior meeting referenced by a public commenter. The city attorney responded that staff had been "pretty lenient" in allowing that public comment because it did not directly relate to the agenda, and said it would not be appropriate to continue that discussion at the moment.
The council entered closed session and later returned to open session; Mayor Morrison said the council would report out of closed session at the end of the meeting. The transcript includes no recorded vote or further public detail about outcomes from the closed session.
