Kim Stemler, Executive Director, Monterey County Vintners & Growers Association: “When I came to you, I said ‘I want to keep this quiet.’”

Mozingo, City Attorney: “You did.

Mozingo: “… you informed us as you recall at the beginning of the initial conversation that you and I had that you had just informed fifteen people…”

Stemler: “my board of directors because that’s my responsibility

Carrie Theis, Mayor Pro Tem: “I do not know the answer to that question.

Stemler: “I seriously doubt it because they would not have known about the closed session…
