Escondido's City Council is set to interview candidates for the job of City Attorney and to consider hiring one for the post. The interviews and the decision on whether to appoint someone are to take place in a closed session, meaning the council meets out of public view for that part of its business.
The council lists the matter as public employment under Government Code Section 54957(b)(1), the law it cites as the basis for handling the hiring privately.
