National City Council moves to closed session to discuss litigation, workers' comp and labor talks
Summary
The National City Council went into closed session to discuss four items: anticipated litigation (one case), a workers' compensation claim identified in the transcript as "Nagel or Daniel Nagel v. City of National City," labor negotiations with the POA and unrepresented groups, and one additional item. No public comments were registered and a five-minute break was taken before the session.
The National City Council moved into a closed session during its meeting after completing roll call and receiving no public comment. Mayor Morrison announced the closed session and said the council would report back at the end of the meeting.
"We have 4 items for closed session," the city attorney said, and then identified them: a conference with legal counsel on anticipated litigation (one case); a workers' compensation claim naming "Nagel or Daniel Nagel v. City of National City" as the claimant; a conference with labor negotiators involving the Police Officers' Association (POA) and unrepresented employee groups; and a fourth closed-session matter listed as item 5.4 that was not described in the public remarks.
The clerk conducted roll call before the closed session. Councilmember Yamani and Councilmember Molina responded present; Mayor Morrison also responded present. The clerk noted that Councilmember Rodriguez and Vice Mayor Bush were absent, and that a quorum was present. The mayor asked Councilmember Molina to lead the Pledge of Allegiance earlier in the meeting.
The mayor and city attorney said there were no registered public commenters via Zoom and no speaker slips in person. The council took a roughly five-minute recess before entering the closed session; the mayor said the council would provide a report-out on any public-actions or disclosures required at the meeting's end.
Because closed sessions are not part of the public record, the council did not discuss the substance of those items on the public record; the publicly announced items above are the extent of the meeting's disclosed agenda for the closed session.
