Glendale city councilman Rafi Manoukian has alleged that the council violated the Brown Act, the state’s open meeting law, when they held a closed meeting on the topic of the city manager’s impending retirement.
Although Manoukian would not say what his allegation entailed, the closed session on the city manager was posted as “Performance Evaluation – City Manager”. Since the city manager told the council he wanted to retire, it could be that issues other than performance evaluation came up at the meeting prompting Manoukian’s protest. -db
