Council Approves $125K Injury Settlement, Signals Busy Night Ahead
The Hayward City Council convened Sept. 15, 2026, with a packed house — but the crowd wasn't there for the opening gavel. Mayor Mark Salinas acknowledged that many attendees had come for an unspecified referral item later on the agenda, a signal that a contentious policy debate awaited. Before the council could reach it, however, the meeting's early minutes produced a notable fiscal action: confirmation of a $125,000 personal injury settlement approved behind closed doors.
- Council confirms $125,000 settlement in the Minhevar v. AC Transit personal injury case, approved 6-0 at the Sept. 1 closed session
- Labor negotiations underway across all city bargaining units, with council giving direction to staff
- Large public turnout signals a significant referral item later on the agenda
The City Attorney delivered a consolidated closed session report spanning two sessions — Sept. 1 and Sept. 15 — covering litigation, a personal injury settlement, workers' compensation cases, and labor negotiations with all city bargaining units.
