[Monterey County] Carmel to Meet Tuesday of grand jury investigation


CARMEL >> The Carmel City Council will hold a special meeting Tuesday regarding the Monterey County civil grand jury’s investigation of the city. A town hall community forum also is planned.
At 4:30 p.m., councilmembers will consider a request by the grand jury for production of documents, waiver of closed-session privilege and waiver of attorney-client privilege. It also will provide direction to city staff.
The city and an ad hoc committee of Carmel residents both requested that the grand jury investigate city operations during the tenure of former City Administrator Jason Stilwell. That investigation is under way, and a report is expected in June.
The city must respond to the report but does not have to take action.
At 5:30 p.m., the council will hold a town hall community forum. The public may attend and ask questions of Mayor Jason Burnett, other councilmembers, the city administrator and key staff members.
Afterward, the City Council will adjourn to a closed session.
The council meets in Council Chambers at City Hall, east side of Monte Verde Street between Ocean and Seventh avenues.
