Recording and Transcript of August 16, 2017 Meeting Posted for 14 Days
The City Council directed the City Attorney’s Office to release the recording made by then-City Manager Jill Keimach on August 17, 2017, with appropriate redactions as authorized by law. The audio recording and transcript are now available on the City’s website. This page will be archived after 14 days. If you have difficulty accessing the materials, you may notify the City Clerk’s office that you wish to obtain a copy pursuant to Government Code section 6253(f).
In accordance with California law, the recording and transcript have been redacted to delete portions of the meeting either because they do not relate to the public’s business or because disclosure of the redacted material would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy when weighed against the public interest served by disclosure. See Government Code §§ 6252, 6255; Los Angeles Unified School Dist .v. Superior Court, 228 Cal.App.4th 222 (2014). The City’s interest in allowing its Council members and senior staff to share personal matters in private conversation outweighs the public’s interest in disclosure. As is clear from the transcript, these redactions are minimal.
