National City Council ends closed session on city manager with no reportable action

The National City Council convened a short meeting that included a closed session to consider the appointment of a city manager under Government Code section 5457(b). After returning to open session, the city attorney reported that there was "no reportable action at this time," and the council adjourned.

Mayor Morrison called the session to order and asked for a roll call; the clerk noted Councilmember Yamani absent and confirmed the presence of Councilmember Rodriguez, Councilmember Molina and Vice Mayor Bush, establishing a quorum. Mayor Morrison asked Councilmember Rodriguez to lead the Pledge of Allegiance, which Rodriguez did.

The council identified a single closed-session item: consideration of public-employee employment, naming the position to be filled as city manager under Government Code section 5457(b). The council recessed into closed session to discuss that personnel matter and later returned to open session.

On return, the city attorney reported that the closed session had concerned public-employee employment for the city manager position and that there was "no reportable action at this time." Following that report, the meeting was adjourned.

The council did not announce any appointment, direction or next steps during the open session that followed. No votes or motions were recorded in the transcript.
