Council to Take Up Suit Filed By Ousted Downtown Boardmembers

09/09/2025 9:36 AM | Margaret Fulton (Administrator)

In a special closed session, the Council will take up the lawsuit that claims the City attempted to remove "the majority of the members" from the Downtown Santa Monica Inc. (DTSM) Board without just cause.

"The City and the DTSM have been engaged in contract negotiations over the City's allocation of costs associated with Downtown Santa Monica," states the 10-page lawsuit filed by former Boardmembers Leonid Pustilnikov and Jon Farzam against the City, the Council and DTSM.
