Vacaville council adjourns into closed session for two legal-counsel conferences

The Vacaville City Council adjourned into closed session Tuesday evening to hold two "conference with legal counsel" items, the meeting audio shows. The public portion ended after a roll call in which Councilmember Ritchie, Councilmember Chapman, Councilmember Fremont, Councilmember Wylie, Vice Mayor Silva and Mayor Carley were recorded as responding "Here." The meeting announced an expected return at 6:00 p.m.

The meeting facilitator, identified in the transcript as the Clerk, told the chamber, "This is the closed session portion of the council meeting." The Clerk also asked whether anyone in the audience or online wished to comment and said no one in the audience indicated a desire to speak; no online commenters were recorded. The Clerk stated there were two closed-session items, both described verbally as conferences with legal counsel; no statutes, case numbers or other legal authorities were cited on the public record.

The record captured no formal votes or motions in the public portion before the closed session. Councilmember Stockton did not have a recorded verbal response during the roll call as captured in the available transcript audio.
