During a recent city council meeting, the Rialto City Council convened to discuss several legal matters in a closed session. The agenda included four primary items, with the addition of a significant case involving Mariela Valdez against the City of Rialto, which pertains to police-related litigation.

City Attorney led the session, highlighting that the agenda originally featured ten items related to anticipated litigation, primarily concerning worker compensation and internal dispute resolution issues. The council also addressed three items involving negotiations over real property, with Colby Catati, the Director of Community Development, designated as the agency negotiator.

The newly added item regarding the Valdez case was deemed urgent as it involves a motion for summary judgment and potential settlement discussions. The council members unanimously approved the addition of this item to the agenda, emphasizing the need for timely action.

The meeting proceeded without public attendance or comments, and the council moved into closed session to further discuss the legal matters at hand. The mayor was noted to join the session later, ensuring all council members were present for the discussions.
