The Vacaville City Council met in closed session at 5 p.m. on Oct. 14 to consult on cybersecurity threats to public services and facilities, meet with its labor negotiator over ongoing collective bargaining, and consider public‑employment matters concerning the positions of city attorney and fire chief, according to the meeting record.

Councilmembers present for the closed session roll call included Councilmember Stockton; Councilmember Ritchie; Councilmember Fremont; Councilmember Wiley; Councilmember Silva; Vice Mayor and Vice Chair Chapman; and Mayor and Chair Carl. A meeting moderator noted there was no one in the audience and the council adjourned the closed session shortly thereafter. The moderator closed the public portion with the remark, “Makes you feel better already, doesn’t it?”

The agenda identified four items for closed session: (A) consultation regarding cybersecurity and threats to public services and facilities; (B) conference with the city’s labor negotiator covering negotiations with all bargaining groups; (C) public‑employment matters related to the city attorney position; and (D) public‑employment matters related to the fire chief position. The public portion of the meeting record contains no further details, and no votes or formal actions on those items were announced during the public session.

Closed sessions are routinely used for confidential matters such as personnel deliberations and labor negotiations; the transcript indicates the council did not take public comment on the listed items. Any formal decisions or reportable actions arising from closed sessions would typically be reflected in subsequent public meeting agendas or official minutes.
