Manhattan Beach City Council recesses into closed session after announcing cited Government Code sections
Summary
The City Attorney announced closed-session agenda items that invoked Government Code provisions and the council recessed into closed session; the public portion of the transcript records the announcement but not the closed-session discussion or outcomes.
The Manhattan Beach City Council recessed into closed session after the City Attorney read the items to be discussed and cited Government Code provisions governing closed sessions.
The City Attorney advised the council that the matters before them were being considered "pursuant to Government Code sections" and cited provisions identified in the transcript (recorded in the public portion as Government Code sections such as 54956.8 and related subdivisions of 54956.9). Following the announcement the council recessed into closed session.
Mayor Pro Tem Tim Leser was noted as arriving before the announcement and Council members Franklin, Tarn and Sherillian were recorded as present in the roll call. The transcript records a procedural motion approving the agenda earlier in the meeting; that motion was moved by Councilman Sherling, seconded by Council Turn and reported as "Motion passes 401." The public portion of the transcript does not record the subjects discussed in closed session or any outcomes from those discussions.
Next steps: The council entered closed session; the public record provided does not include any outcome or vote from that closed session.
