DESCRIPTION:
The Brown Act allows the City Council to meet in closed session to discuss the performance of
employees that report to the City Council. Additionally, it allows the City Council to meet in closed
session with its designated representatives — usually referred to as "labor negotiators" — to
discuss the compensation of such employees. Any final action on the proposed compensation must
be taken in open session.
The City Council will consider and discuss the appointment of two Councilmembers to serve as the
City's representatives for the City Manager's annual review and performance evaluation including
discussion of compensation, and two Councilmembers as the City's representatives in the

performance evaluation process and in labor negotiations with the City Attorney.
It has been the City's custom for many years to appoint the labor negotiators prior to reviewing
the City Manager's and City Attorney's performance. Doing so allows the negotiators to have
compensation discussions with the City Manager and City Attorney during or after the review
process. At the end of the process, the representatives will report their recommendations to the
City Council in open session. The last time such committees were convened was 2023; the two
designated labor negotiators for the City Manager were Mayor Hernandez and Vice Mayor Hu, and
the two designated labor negotiators for the City Attorney were Councilmembers McCorriston and
Qaadri.
