The Sunnyvale City Council reported in open session on Nov. 18 that during closed session it gave direction to initiate litigation related to a potential case. The vice mayor summarized the closed-session report under Brown Act authority and said details about defendants and other specifics would be provided once litigation commenced.

In a separate ceremonial item, the council declared Saturday, Nov. 29, 2025, Small Business Saturday in Sunnyvale and recognized Lee, owner of Bookasaurus (also referred to as Lee's Favorite Books), for community-building activities such as author events and book clubs. City remarks noted Sunnyvale is home to roughly 5,700 small businesses and encouraged residents to support local shops.

The closed-session direction was reported as having occurred under the meeting’s listed legal authority; the transcript records that direction was given but provides no additional public details on the litigation's subject or parties.
