Big Bear City CSD holds closed session on anticipated litigation; board reports no reportable action
Summary
The Big Bear City Community Services District met April 7 in a special session to discuss one potential case of anticipated litigation under Government Code Section 54956.9(d)(2). Vice‑President John Russo reported that when the board reconvened it had taken "no reportable action."
The Big Bear City Community Services District Board of Directors convened a special meeting April 7, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. in Big Bear City and entered a closed session at 10:07 a.m. to discuss anticipated litigation under Government Code Section 54956.9(d)(2), identifying one potential case.
Vice‑President John Russo reported when the board reconvened at 12:03 p.m. that President Bob Rowe left the meeting at 11:36 a.m. and that "no reportable action had taken place." The minutes list board members Bob Rowe (President), JoKay Rowe, John Russo, Larry Walsh and Al Ziegler as present; district staff included General Manager Glenn Jacklin and Secretary Morgan Szabad. Public attendance is recorded by name but no statements from public comment are transcribed.
The closed-session item was explicitly cited in the minutes as "Conference with legal counsel: anticipated litigation" under Government Code Section 54956.9(d)(2), with the number of potential cases recorded as one. The meeting record shows the board adjourned by consensus at 12:03 p.m., and the minutes were signed by Morgan Szabad, Secretary of the Board.
Because the minutes state there was "no reportable action" from closed session, the record provides no further public details about the subject or status of the potential litigation. The district may have additional confidential records consistent with state open‑meeting exceptions for litigation.
