HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif.—After a lengthy public discussion on an agenda item that sought to go around Huntington Beach’s elected city attorney and hire outside legal help, the city council voted Dec. 21 to continue the discussion in a closed session in January.
The motion, brought forward by Mayor Barbara Delgleize, Mayor Pro Tem Mike Posey, and Councilman Dan Kalmick, cited legal disagreements with elected city attorney Michael Gates.
