RE: City of San Clemente Brown Act Referral- Revised Closing Letter Dear Ms. Mitchell:
On June 12, 2025, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office (“OCDA”) provided the City of San Clemente with a closing letter indicating that the OCDA was satisfied with the curative and training measures taken by the San Clemente City Council (“Council”) in response to a Brown Act violation. Subsequently, the OCDA received a request from the Council to clarify that the referenced Brown Act violation was committed (solely) by Councilmember Zhen Wu. This letter serves as confirmation that the only Brown Act violation identified was by Councilmember Wu.
Sincerely,
Avery T. Harrison
Avery T. Harrison
Senior Deputy District Attorney
