Council holds closed sessions on anticipated litigation tied to cannabis selection and permitting software
Summary
Council convened in closed session to consider anticipated litigation over the retail cannabis business selection process (12 potential cases) and initiation of litigation related to the city's electronic permitting software contract; Mayor Minto reported direction to counsel on reconvening.
The Santee City Council recessed to closed session at 10:40 p.m. to discuss two items under Government Code section 54956.9. The first concerned significant exposure to litigation—twelve potential cases—related to the retail cannabis business selection process. The second involved initiation of litigation tied to the city's electronic permitting software contract. The council reconvened at 10:59 p.m. and Mayor John W. Minto reported that direction had been given to counsel.
The minutes record the legal subjects and that councilors received direction, but do not disclose specifics of the legal advice or the content of council deliberations, consistent with closed-session confidentiality and California law. No votes or details about potential plaintiffs, defendants, or claims are in the public minutes.
