San Fernando City Council approves agenda, recesses into closed session

The San Fernando City Council convened a special meeting at 5:32 p.m. and approved the meeting agenda by roll call, then recessed into a closed session.

A presiding speaker announced, "We have a quorum," after the roll was called. The clerk recorded Council member Solorio as absent; Council member Joe Fajardo, Vice Mayor Mary Mendoza and Mayor Celeste Rodriguez were present. During the subsequent roll-call vote on the agenda, the three members present voted yes and the presiding speaker announced, "Motion passes." The record does not show who made the motion to approve the agenda; a second was spoken on the record.

The deputy city clerk stated, "There are no public comments for the special meeting." Immediately after the vote, the presiding speaker recessed the meeting into a closed session. The transcript records the phrase "closed site session," which has been rendered in this article as "closed session." No public actions or votes were taken after the recess was announced in the portions of the meeting available on the public record.

The council did not receive public comment during the special meeting. No formal ordinances, resolutions, contracts, or budget actions were discussed or adopted on the public record in this session.
