Mayor Kevin Wilk calls special meeting for closed-session conference on existing litigation
Summary
Mayor Kevin Wilk convened a March 17, 2026, special Walnut Creek City Council meeting to hold a closed-session conference with legal counsel on existing litigation; no public commenters were present and the council planned to reconvene in one hour for open session.
Mayor Kevin Wilk opened a special meeting of the Walnut Creek City Council on March 17, 2026, saying the session was called “for the purpose of holding a closed session related to the following, conference with legal counsel existing litigation.”
Wilk told attendees that “under California law, public comments and special meetings are limited to subjects on the agenda only,” and said the council would accept public comment for the item before moving into closed session. He then noted that there were no members of the public present to comment and said the council would reconvene for open session in about an hour.
The meeting moved promptly into closed session for a conference with legal counsel on existing litigation. No motions or votes were recorded on the public record during the special session. The council’s stated next step was to reconvene in open session approximately one hour later to continue public business.
The council did not announce details of the litigation during the public portion of the meeting; the only on-the-record statements were the mayor’s procedural remarks about the meeting’s purpose and the public-comment rules.
