No public commenters were present for the initial public comment period.
The Burbank City Council will meet in closed session at 4:00 p.m. Tuesday to consider anticipated litigation and a possible property acquisition, the City Attorney said.
"The City Council is meeting at 4:00 this afternoon in closed session to discuss two items. The first item is a matter of anticipated litigation pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.9(d)(4) with the city as a potential plaintiff in one case. The second item is conference with the city's real property negotiator, Ms. Simone McFarland, Assistant Community Development Director of Business and Economic Development, to discuss potential acquisition of 300 South Lake Street," the City Attorney said.
The announcement sets purchase terms for 300 South Lake Street to be discussed in closed session; the City Attorney did not provide further details during the televised announcement. Ms. Simone McFarland was identified as the city's real property negotiator; she was introduced by the City Attorney but did not speak on the televised portion.

When asked whether there were any in-person or phone public commenters for the evening, the City Clerk replied, "Good afternoon, Madam Mayor, we do not." Officials then declared the public comment period closed for that portion of the meeting.
