The Eureka City Council voted in closed session June 16 to authorize the city attorney to file a receivership in the 25 Wabash Street case, according to the meeting record.
The agenda identified the matter as City of Eureka, Petitioner v. Dick Leroy Henderson, et al. in Humboldt County Superior Court case CV2600047, tied to 25 Wabash Street in Eureka. The transcript summary shows the council’s report-out followed the closed session and that Councilmember Castellano cast the lone no vote.
Receivership is a court action that can allow a receiver to take control of a property under dispute, and the council’s vote marks a formal legal step rather than simply a discussion item. The materials reviewed do not explain in detail what prompted the city to seek that remedy, and they do not include the city attorney’s full public report-out language.
The meeting also covered unrelated budget, utility and public hearing items, but the receivership authorization was a distinct closed-session action documented in the record.
