Fremont council to meet in closed session on labor negotiations
Summary
The Fremont City Council announced it will convene in closed session to discuss labor negotiations with city negotiators under California Government Code section 54957.6; the City Attorney said the matter covers nine employee organizations.
Mayor Solon called the meeting to order and asked the City Clerk to take roll. The City Clerk recorded Council member Hsiao as absent; Council members Liu, Kimberlin, Campbell and Kang and Vice Mayor Zhang were recorded present. The mayor opened the oral communications period and, after the clerk said no public speaker cards had been submitted, closed that portion of the meeting.
Solon then turned the meeting to the City Attorney, who said the council would meet in closed session to confer with labor negotiators “pursuant to California Government Code section 54957.6 regarding the nine employee organizations listed on this evening’s agenda.” The council indicated it would convene in the Fremont Room for the closed session.
The council’s announcement was procedural: the closed session is authorized by state law for confidential labor-negotiation discussions, and no public action or vote on the underlying contract terms was recorded in the public portion of the meeting. The clerk’s roll-call record and the City Attorney’s reading of the statutory citation were the only substantive items disclosed before the closed session.
