14.2 Conference with Legal Counsel Regarding Significant Exposure to Litigation Pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.9(d)(2) Public Comments
John Moot
The counsel should put on the agenda the report of the settlement with Republic. The matter was not noticed on the June 14, 2022 agenda as it had previously been on March 1,2022 agenda as item 14.2 Conference with Legal Counsel -- Anticipated Litigation -- Initiation of Litigation Pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.9(d)(4):
One [1] case.
Ongoing issues with Republic Services, Inc.
Nor was it noticed on regular agenda . If the Council agreed to a settlement on terms offered by Republic as would appear to be the case since the partial credit was reflect on Republic's website in February it should have been publicly reported out after closed session on March 1st . If any material terms changed the agreement should have come back to counsel, voted on and reported out at that time . A review of the settlement agreement reflect boilerplate terms other than the deal points which would not take 3 months to negotiate necessitating a delay until after the election. Further the signature for Republic is not dated reflecting the date they actually agreed. The matter should be re-noticed on the regular agenda and the requested documents in my letter made public at the hearing .
John Moot submitted written communications in support of the item.
ACTION:
Item not discussed.
