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. It has been the City’s custom for many years to appoint the labor
negotiators prior to reviewing the City Manager’s performance. Doing so allows the negotiators to
have compensation discussions with the City Manager during or after the review process. The
negotiators have also been consulted on scheduling and process for the performance review. At
the end of the process, the representatives will report their recommendation to the City Council in
