City Council Discusses Pension Problems

Council To Meet Behind Closed Doors

The San Diego City Council huddles behind closed doors with its attorneys Monday to discuss federal probes into whether it hid damaging financial information from investors and the public.

The meeting comes four days after a law firm that San Diego retained to investigate its pension fund said city officials repeatedly failed to recognize the depth of the fund's troubles.

The 268-page report by Vinson and Elkins found San Diego officials, "adopted a minimalist approach to public disclosure, providing the public with negative information only when it has felt legally required to do so."

Auditors said there was a loss of accountability and that some of the financial data used to make critical decisions was wrong.

However, the report did not uncover any evidence of criminal wrongdoing.
