Fremont City Council recesses into closed session for labor negotiations
Summary
At a May 26 special meeting, the Fremont City Council recessed into closed session to confer with labor negotiators under California Government Code section 54957.6 regarding nine organizations listed on the agenda; no public comments were taken and no votes were recorded in open session.
Mayor Sawan called the Fremont special meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. on May 26, 2026, and asked the city clerk to take roll.
The city clerk reported Council member Liu was absent; Council member Hsiao, Council member Kimberly, Council member Campbell and Council member Kang were present; Vice Mayor Zhang was noted as absent but expected to arrive in a minute or two. The clerk also reported there were no oral communications submitted via Zoom or by speaker card.
The mayor turned the meeting to the city attorney to read the closed-session titles. The city attorney said, “In closed session, the council will discuss 1 item. It will have a conference with labor negotiators pursuant to California Government Code section 54957.6 regarding the 9 organizations listed on this evening's agenda.” That item was the only substantive matter announced for the meeting.
After the title was read, Mayor Sawan said the council would go into closed session in the Fremont Room and the meeting recessed for that purpose. No votes or formal actions were taken in open session during the recorded minutes of the special meeting.
The closed session addresses labor negotiations covered by California Government Code section 54957.6; the transcript and agenda identify nine organizations as parties on the agenda but do not disclose further details in open session. The council did not take public comment prior to the recess. The meeting record ends with the council moving into closed session in the Fremont Room.
