Good chance the council will approve an appeal of the judge's ruling (see below). On what legal grounds? The law doesn't matter, especially when you don't have pay for the legal costs out of your own pocket.
The City has filed a "Notice of Appeal" of the court's ruling pursuant to Government Code section 6259(c).
This is a little complicated, but there is no right to "appeal" a ruling in a public records act case. The statute (and case law) are clear and specific, the only appellate review of such a ruling is by filing for a writ of mandate in the appellate court. The writ process is designed to be much faster: no waiting for a record to be prepared, no 'right" to respond to the writ petition. If the court wants to, it could deny a writ by return mail.
In addition, the time for filing for a writ is 20 days after the court serves a Notice of Entry of the order. Here, there is no final order yet.
I didn't get one of these about the Cummins meeting and I don't see it on the website.
Blogger's note: We got the notice because press started asking Kevin C about the meeting and the appeal. Otherwise the public would be in the shadows.
