City Attorney says council will meet in closed session to discuss two lawsuits, including LA Metro case
Summary
The City Attorney announced the council would go into closed session at 4:30 p.m. to discuss two existing litigation matters: a motor-vehicle suit (Amber Victoria Rangely v. City of Burbank) and a CEQA/breach-of-contract case brought by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
The City Attorney told the council and public that the City Council would meet in closed session at 4:30 p.m. to discuss two existing litigation matters. "For the benefit of the public, the City Council is meeting at 4:30 this afternoon to discuss two items in closed session," the City Attorney said, citing Government Code Section 54956.9(d)(1).
The first matter identified was Amber Victoria Rangely v. City of Burbank, described as a motor-vehicle accident case. The second was named as Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority v. City of Burbank, described in the meeting as a California Environmental Quality Act and breach-of-contract matter involving LA Metro.
The announcement did not include details of any proposed settlement, damages, or scheduled votes; it served to notify the public of the topics the council planned to confer about in closed session under the cited Government Code provision. The clerk and presiding official then moved the meeting into closed session; the televised portion of the closed session was declared over and the council announced the regular session would begin at 6:00 p.m.
