The Livermore City Council reported on Feb. 23 that it unanimously approved a $325,000 settlement in Lee v. City of Livermore, a lawsuit arising from a 2023 motor vehicle–pedestrian crash.
City Attorney Kim Seeley told the council the decision was made in closed session and reported out under California Government Code section 54957.1(a). She said the council voted unanimously to accept a settlement agreement and full release of all claims signed by the three plaintiffs in exchange for the payment of $325,000.
The report did not include further details about the circumstances of the accident or whether the payment will be charged to a particular insurance policy; Seeley concluded her report by stating the settlement had been accepted. The council did not take further public action during the meeting to modify or ratify other terms that were discussed in closed session.
The city clerk’s official minutes and any settlement documents to be recorded with the city will provide further procedural detail; the council directed no additional open-session action at the Feb. 23 meeting.
