A Huntington Beach resident has filed a lawsuit against the city, claiming it is breaking California public records laws.

At issue is a settlement agreement between the city and operators of the Huntington Beach Pacific Airshow, who sued the city when the final day of a three-day event it had staged was cancelled due to the 2021 oil spill off the coast of Huntington Beach.
