Manhattan Beach council approves agenda, recesses into closed session
Summary
At its Dec. 2 meeting, the Manhattan Beach City Council approved the agenda and immediately recessed into a closed session citing Government Code section 54957; no public comments were received in the chamber or on Zoom.
Manhattan Beach City Council convened an adjourned regular meeting Dec. 2, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. The council approved the meeting agenda after a motion by Mayor Pam Franklin, seconded by Council member Tarna; the clerk recorded, “Motion passes. 5 Z.”
After the vote, the city attorney announced, “Pursuant to government code section 54957, the city council will now go into close session to discuss the item identified on the agenda,” and the council stood in recess into closed session. No members of the public spoke in the chamber, and the clerk reported there were no requests to address the council via Zoom.
The statute cited authorizes certain closed sessions for matters specified in state law; the transcript does not identify which agenda item the council planned to discuss in closed session. The meeting record shows no further open-session action before the recess to closed session.
