Pasadena City College is getting sued for violating the Brown Act

The LA Times reports that a non-profit is suing the Pasadena City College District for violating the Brown Act.  The article reports:  

In the suit, Californians Aware claims that the board of trustees of the two-year college violated the Ralph M. Brown Act by not discussing and taking action on Rocha's retirement and severance package in public.

The suit asks that the board acknowledge its alleged mistakes, record future closed sessions and rescind Rocha's nearly $400,000 severance package. The suit also asks that Rocha be ordered to return the money.

In letters sent to Californians Aware and the Los Angeles Times earlier this year, an attorney representing the college denied any Brown Act violations occurred and said discussions about Rocha's retirement were held in closed session because of concerns over litigation.

The $400,000 package is amazing.
