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 with the City Attorney, including discussion of

compensation.
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 2025; the
two designated labor negotiators for the City Manager were Mayor Hu and Councilmember
Qaadri, and the two designated negotiators for the City Attorney were Vice Mayor Josey and
Councilmember McCorriston.
