REPORT ON ACTION(S) TAKEN IN CLOSED SESSION:
City Attorney Ihrke reported no actions were taken in Closed Session that require
reporting pursuant to Government Code section 54957.1 (Brown Act). However,
consistent with City Council direction, regular updates on the bankruptcy case are
provided.
Mr. Ihrke said the Council received an update from the City Manager, the City Attorney,
and the City's Special Counsel. The update was regarding the status of the next step in
the process pursuant to the Bankruptcy Court -ordered "Bid Procedures" and auction
procedure, which procedures require the debtors to file a notice of the "successful bidder"
in the very near future, with more updates and announcements to come as the debtors
file motions in the Bankruptcy Court, and the Bankruptcy Court rules on various motions.
Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Court Order for the auction procedure, the Council met in
closed session to receive an update since the August 5, 2025, regular meeting and to
give additional direction to the City Manager, Special Counsel, and City Attorney for the
purpose of following up with the debtors and their legal counsel, relating to the terms for
the selection of a "successful bidder."
Council's authorization remains in place for the City Attorney, in coordination with the City
Attorney's Office and Special Counsel, to defend and protect the interests of the City in
the multiple bankruptcy cases filed by SilverRock Development Company and its
responsive affiliates as reported out for Closed Session Item No. 2 from the August 6,
2024, Council meeting.

There being no further business, a motion was made and seconded by Councilmembers
