Board names labor negotiators, retires into closed session under state law
Summary
The board announced a closed-session item under Government Code section 54957.6 to discuss labor negotiations and named Director Deborah Martinez and Steve Mendick as agency-designated representatives before adjourning private discussions.
The Madera County In-Home Supportive Services board announced a closed-session item under Government Code section 54957.6 to confer with labor negotiators and named the agency's designated representatives before retiring into closed session at the March 10 meeting.
At the start of the session Chair McCully asked whether there were public comments and noted none. The clerk then read the closed-session item into the record, stating that the item fell under "Government Code Section 549.57.6, Conference with your labor negotiators." The clerk identified the agency's designated representatives as "Director Deborah Martinez and Steve Mendick." The board then recessed into closed session; no public comment was taken on the closed-session item prior to the recess.
Under California law cited on the record, the board may discuss labor-negotiation strategy with designated representatives in private. The transcript does not record any negotiation details or outcomes; those discussions were held in closed session and are not part of the public transcript.
The public session ended with the board moving into the closed session described on the agenda.
