Summary
The Marysville City Council convened a special session and immediately adjourned into closed session under Government Code section 54956.9 to consider whether to initiate litigation and to confer with counsel on existing litigation identified as City of Marysville v. Department of Industrial Relations (Division of Occupational Safety and Health, Cal/OSHA). A public report will be made at the next regular meeting.
Mayor Branscomb called a special session of the Marysville City Council and the public portion of the meeting was then adjourned into closed session to address litigation matters, the council announced.
The council said the meeting would move into closed session pursuant to Government Code section 54956.9. The presiding officer told attendees the first item was whether to initiate litigation on a potential case; the second was a conference with legal counsel about existing litigation, which the transcript identifies as "the City of Marysville versus Department of Industrial Relations" and which the council referred to as Cal/OSHA (the Division of Occupational Safety and Health).
The clerk conducted roll call before the closed session; attendees named in the transcript included Council member Rollins, Council member Diltrust, Council member Hudson, the vice mayor and Mayor Branscomb. The transcript records that a reportable closed-session action would trigger an adjournment by operation of law and that a report on any reportable action will be made at the beginning of the next regular meeting.

Any outcomes that are reportable under the Brown Act are expected to be disclosed at the next regular meeting, according to the announcement.
The council's public meeting concluded with the announcement that it would reconvene in closed session; no further public comment or staff presentations were recorded in the provided transcript.
