Willows City Council adjourns into closed session to discuss lawsuit against County of Lehi
Summary
At a brief special meeting July 16, Mayor Hudson announced the council would go into closed session to confer with legal counsel about City of Willows v. County of Lehi; the council invited public comment but none was offered before the session began.
Mayor Hudson called a Willows City Council special meeting to order at 5:00 p.m. July 16 and said the council would adjourn into closed session to discuss existing litigation. "Name of case, City of Willows versus County of Lehi et al., Glenn County Superior Court case number 26 v 00193," Hudson said.
The announcement came after the mayor led the Pledge of Allegiance and asked that the roll be called. The clerk conducted roll call, and the council recorded Mayor Hudson, Vice Mayor Thomas, Council Member Hanson and Council Member Bridal as present.
Hudson told attendees that, pursuant to the Brown Act provisions cited on the record, the public would have an opportunity to address the council on the closed-session item and that public comments were generally limited to three minutes per speaker. No members of the public came forward when the council opened the floor for comment.
After allowing for public comment, the council adjourned into closed session at 5:01 p.m. to confer with legal counsel about the litigation. The council did not take any votes in open session and provided no further public details about the subject of the closed session at the time it convened.
The council did not specify next public steps or announce a return time from closed session at the meeting’s close. Any formal actions or votes resulting from that closed session were not recorded in the open portion of the meeting transcript.
