City Council recesses into closed session to discuss anticipated litigation

The City Council recessed into a closed session to discuss anticipated litigation and said it would report back on its conclusion, Mayor Flores said during the public meeting. The council convened, conducted roll call, recited an invocation and the pledge of allegiance, heard no public comments and then moved into closed session. The meeting record lists the closed-session purpose as discussing "anticipated litigation" and directing a report back out to the public portion of the meeting. Roll call showed Council Member Macias, Council Member Martis, Council Member Sanabria, Vice Mayor Martinez and Mayor Flores present. The City Clerk conducted the roll call; the City Attorney was asked to lead the closed-session item. No written public comments were provided and no members of the public came forward during the three-minute public-comment period, the meeting record shows. The public portion of the meeting did not include further details about the anticipated litigation; the council recessed for closed session and indicated it would report any outcome in open session at the meeting's conclusion.
