Summary

In closed session the Glendora City Council tentatively authorized the city manager's ratification of Hal Ghafari as public works director, citing Government Code section 54957(b); the action was reported out with no other reportable actions.

The Glendora City Council met in closed session and tentatively authorized the city manager's ratification of Hal Ghafari to serve as Glendora's public works director, the city attorney reported. The personnel discussion occurred under Government Code section 54957(b), which permits closed-session consideration of public employee appointments.

The city attorney told the council the appointment had been considered during the closed session and that the council had tentatively authorized the ratification by the city manager. The transcript did not record any public vote, mover or seconder, nor provide further detail about Ghafari's background or contract terms.

The council opened public comment before recessing to closed session and heard none. The mayor recessed the meeting to closed session at 5:33 p.m. and reconvened at about 6:00 p.m., at which time the city attorney read the closed-session report. The attorney stated there was no other reportable action taken on the items discussed.

Because the council's action was described as a tentative authorization and the transcript references the city manager's ratification, any final appointment or employment terms will depend on the city manager's formal ratification and any required follow-up actions not detailed in the record.
