The San Diego City Council will hold a special meeting Tuesday to revote on which of its members should serve as president, due to a possible violation of the state’s open-meeting law.
Sherri Lightner was selected Wednesday to succeed Todd Gloria, who served in the position for two years but was unable to muster a majority of his colleagues to remain in the post.
At the beginning of Monday’s council meeting, Lightner said allegations were raised about whether improper discussions were held before the meeting. She did not elaborate, and no other council members commented.
However, NBC San Diego reported Thursday that a series of individual meetings among council members could be considered a violation of the Brown Act.
Lightner said a revote was scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. Her nominations for president pro tem and a slate of appointments to council committees and outside agencies will also be heard at the special meeting, she said.
Even though she scheduled the revote, she continued to run Monday’s council meeting.
