Martinez City Council holds closed session to discuss anticipated litigation
Summary
The Martinez City Council met in closed session Wednesday evening to discuss one potential case of anticipated litigation and later reported providing guidance to staff; no public comment was received and the regular meeting was scheduled for 7:15 p.m.
The Martinez City Council convened a closed session Wednesday, Feb. 4, beginning at 6:06 p.m. to discuss anticipated litigation, the council’s presiding chair said. The council moved to a closed-session room to consider one potential case and said it would report out at the end of the hour.
“We will convene to our closed session room, and I will report out at the end of the hour,” the chair said.
During roll call the clerk recorded Mayor Brianne Zorn, Vice Mayor Sittender Mollie and Council member Debbie McKillop as present; Council members Jay Howard and Greg Young were absent but were said to be on their way. The chair noted there were no members of the public in the council chambers, and the clerk confirmed there were no virtual attendees, so no public comment was taken.
After the closed session the chair told attendees, “The city council just completed our closed session. We had 1 item conference with legal council anticipated litigation. Council provided guidance to staff.” The council then adjourned and said its regularly scheduled meeting would begin at 7:15 p.m.
The council provided no further public details about the subject of the anticipated litigation during the report-out, and no formal votes or motions related to the closed-session item were recorded in the public portion of the transcript.
