Good afternoon, Madam Mayor.

Will you please state the items on the agenda for closed session and the study session?

Yes, Madam Mayor, Vice Mayor, members of the City Council, and for the benefit of the public, the City Council is convening closed session this afternoon on one item of existing litigation pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.91 in the matter of Amanda Sim versus City of Burbank. This is a personal injury case. case immediately following closed session at about 5 p.m. City Council will reconvene into open session to receive a study session entitled updates to the accessory dwelling unit ordinance provided by the Community Development Department.

Great. Thank you. Madam City Clerk, good afternoon.

Good afternoon, Madam Mayor. Awesome.

Do we have any in-person public comment on closed session items or any remote comments?

We do not. We could be potentially having a Granicus problem, though. So I just want to alert the public that we may not be streaming right now.

I see.

We're trying to fix it. OK, thank you.

There being no public comment, I now declare the public comment period closed. We will now proceed to a closed sessions meeting. We will reconvene the council meeting at 5 o'clock in the council chamber for a study session. The regular session of the council meeting will begin at 6. The public is invited to view the meeting online or by TV and will be able to provide public comment in person or remotely for all sessions of public comment.
