Millbrae City Council adjourns to closed session to discuss existing litigation

The Millbrae City Council called its July 23, 2026 meeting to order at 4:36 p.m., completed roll call with four members present, and proceeded directly to agenda business. The chair read agenda item D1 as "a conference call with legal counsel, existing litigation, closed session held pursuant to Government Code 54956.9," and read the court caption naming the parties and San Mateo County Superior Court case number 26CIV05490.

The chair identified one in‑house public speaker slip for "Miss Anne Schneider, former mayor Schneider," who then addressed the council. After Schneider's remarks, the chair stated, "Seeing that there's no other public comment for this item, we are now going to adjourn to our closed session," and the meeting moved into closed‑door deliberations to consult with legal counsel. No public vote or formal motion was recorded on the transcript before the adjournment.

The council invoked Government Code §54956.9 when announcing the closed session; the public record on the meeting shows the caption and case number but does not include the closed‑session deliberations or any on‑the‑record council actions related to that litigation.
