Vacaville City Council adjourns into closed session to confer with legal counsel on existing litigation

The Vacaville City Council moved into closed session Tuesday after the clerk announced a conference with legal counsel on existing litigation and invited public comment; no members of the public spoke.

"This would be an opportunity for the public to address the city council regarding the closed session items," the Clerk said while opening the meeting, adding, "We do have a conference with legal counsel on existing litigation." During roll call the Clerk recorded Council members Stockton, Ritchie, Chapman, Thiemel and Wiley, Vice Mayor Silva and Mayor Carley as present.

After announcing the opportunity for public comment, the Clerk said they saw no one in the audience to speak and stated the council would adjourn into closed session to confer with legal counsel about the matter. The transcript ends with the council moving into closed session; no formal motion, vote, ordinance or other public action on the litigation was recorded in the public portion of the meeting.

The council had called the meeting to order at 5:02 p.m. and completed roll call before the closed-session announcement. No additional details about the nature of the litigation were disclosed in the public record in the segments provided.
