Speaker 1: Okay. Regarding conference with property negotiators, the council received information from staff and gave direction. No vote was taken regarding existing litigations on the boat work cases. The council received information and gave direction to staff with no vote taken. Regarding the amicus brief and the city has been asked to sign on to an amicus brief to be filed in three cases, as previously mentioned, in which the US Supreme Court will consider how Title Seven's ban on workplace sex discrimination protects LGBTQ people from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. The EEOC and many federal courts have recognized that anti LGBTQ discrimination is a form of sex discrimination. The Supreme Court will now decide whether to revoke or affirm these nondiscrimination protections. The Council has voted to authorize the city attorney to sign in favor of recognizing and affirming that anti LGBTQ discrimination is a form of sex discrimination. The Council voted and by a roll call vote by five eyes to approve proceeding with that. Regarding existing litigation in the Guzman case, the Council received information and gave direction to staff. No vote was taken and regarding the liability claim, council received information and gave direction with no vote taken.
