Sacramento City Council adjourns to closed session to discuss labor talks and auditor review

The Sacramento City Council convened a special meeting on June 9, 2026, and promptly adjourned to closed session to discuss two items: conference with labor negotiators and a public employee performance evaluation of the City Auditor.

Madam Clerk stated that she called the special meeting and confirmed, "We do have a quorum of council members and chambers," adding that there were no public speakers on the closed-session agenda. The clerk identified the first closed-session item as a conference with labor negotiators and named the designated representatives as Lainie Milstein, Aaron Donato and Tim Davis. She identified the employee organizations involved as the Sacramento Police Officers Association and Sacramento area firefighters Local 522.

The clerk also listed a second closed-session item as a public employee performance evaluation under the cited Government Code provision and specified the title under review as the City Auditor. The agenda references Government Code sections cited on the record during the meeting for the labor-negotiations item and the public-employee evaluation; the public record of the meeting lists those statutory citations alongside the closed-session items.

After the clerk’s announcements, the Mayor Pro Tem authorized adjournment to closed session; the meeting record states, "We are adjourned to closed session." No public debate, public comment, or formal vote on either closed-session item was taken in open session.

The council moved into closed session to handle the confidential matters specified on the agenda. Any formal actions, votes or public disclosures would be reported later as required by law when and if disclosure is permitted.
