Despite Mayor Ron Nirenberg's earlier insistence that talks about contract negotiations with the city's fire union be held in public, council quickly moved into a closed-door executive session Thursday to discuss the matter.
Last week, five members of city council expressed their concerns with City Attorney Andy Segovia . However, those disagreements appear to have blown over.
The only public discussion on the contract negotiations wasn't a discussion at all, but rather a 10 minute presentation showing that council and the fire union are still miles apart when it comes to a collective bargaining agreement. Alderete Gavito was tight-lipped about what was discussed during the lengthy session, only saying that she and her colleagues had some"good conversation."
