IRVINE, Calif.—After a heated discussion about giving voters the choice in November to expand the city council from four to six seats and changing how ballots are cast for those seats, councilors voted 4–1 on Tuesday to move the issue into closed session at their next meeting.
The item—brought forward by Councilman Larry Agran last week—intends to not only increase the size of the council, but to split the city into six districts of roughly 52,000 residents each.
