Nearly a year after Huntington Beach was sued by a resident for allegedly breaking California public record laws, the city has been ordered to release the full details of a $7 million settlement it withheld from the public.
The ruling, dished out by Orange County Superior Court Judge Jonathan Fish on May 22, requires the city to release the entire settlement agreement with operators of the Pacific Airshow, who sued the city when the final day of a three-day event it had staged was canceled because of the 2021 oil spill off Huntington Beach.
