The city attorney informed the Cathedral City Council that the meeting would move into closed session to address two matters: a conference with the city’s labor negotiator about two bargaining groups listed on the agenda and a closed session regarding the public employee appointment of a city manager.

The city attorney read both items aloud and invited members of the audience to ask questions. After staff reported no requests to speak, Mayor Gregory recessed the meeting into closed session to consider those items.

The transcript does not record details of the bargaining groups, the content of negotiations, or any action taken in the closed session. No statutes, ordinance citations, labor contracts, or candidate names for the city manager position were provided on the public record during this portion of the meeting.
