CLOSED SESSION
A.CONFERENCE WITH LEGAL COUNSEL - ANTICIPATED LITIGATION
Significant exposure to litigation pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section
54956.9: No. of potential cases: One.
A point has been reached where, in the opinion of the legislative body of the local agency on the
advice of its legal counsel, based on existing facts and circumstances, there is a significant
exposure to litigation against the local agency. The existing facts and circumstances exposing
the City to litigation include the following:
A letter has been received from Robert Goodman, Attorney at Law on behalf of his client
Jamie Gomez, asserting that the City of San Luis Obispo’s method of conducting elections
may violate the California Voting Rights Act.
Pursuant to California law, Mr. Goodman demands that the City Council adopt a resolution
within 45 days of receipt of the letter outlining its intention to transition from at-large to
district elections and specifying specific steps it will take to facilitate this transition. If the
City Council does not adopt a resolution to this effect within 45 days (December 28, 2019),
then Mr. Goodman asserts that legal action will be commenced in San Luis Obispo County
Superior Court to require the City of San Luis Obispo to institute district elections pursuant
to the California Voting Rights Act.
