The Rancho Mirage City Council, meeting Sept. 18, voted 5-0 in closed session to move forward with a receivership for a parcel identified as assessor's parcel number 674151007, the city attorney reported after the recess.
City Attorney (reporting out) said the vote was carried on a motion to approve initiation of receivership proceedings; the motion was reported as made by a council member identified in the record as Mulatto and seconded by Council member Downs. The city attorney said no other reportable action was taken during the closed session, which the agenda described as "potential initiation of litigation pursuant to Government Code section 54956.9(d)(4) with one potential case."
The council's report is limited: it confirms the council authorized pursuing receivership for the parcel but did not provide details in open session about the underlying dispute, the owner, or next procedural steps. The item will proceed according to applicable legal processes and any statutorily required notices or filings.
