4. REPORT ON CLOSED SESSION ACTIONS
In response to the July 9, 2021, letter from attorneys representing Mary’s Kitchen, the City Council held a closed-session meeting to discuss the significant threat and exposure to litigation against the City. The item appeared on the closed-session agenda in compliance with the Brown Act, as authorized under § 54956.9(d)(2)-(4).
The City Council was provided privileged advice and discussed the possible legal implications of the letter, which urged the City Council to rescind or stay the termination of the License Agreement by the City Manager. The City Council did not acquiesce to the demands in the letter, thereby having the effect of confirming the actions of the City Manager.
