It's a standard real estate practice because you will have to give information about your potential tenants and other sensitive topics

But not for a public land deal where public officials are held to standards under the Public Records Act and the Brown Act to conduct the people's business in public. The negotiations of the price are shielded from the public, but not other elements of the deal.

speaking from experience, it's normal. and pretty complicated behind the scenes, because there are laws that govern the types of contracts public officials and agencies can enter into (and lots of bureaucratic approvals)
-
Yah, it’s complicated. You can have closed sessions for real estate dealings, but I don’t think NDAs are standard for that. Unless google has some product, related to the site, up their sleeve?

Totally abnormal in California for a public land sale and potentially in violation of a number of state laws. Have to wonder what

Considering that city officials and their cronies may front run the real estate purchases, why not?

One of the oddities of California law: to put the deal together, Google can meet with every council member individually; but, thanks to the Brown Act, no more than half the council members can consult each other.

Oh... Dang. How the heck do we fix that? Yes the Brown act is a pain; I've dealt with its consequences, but it serves an important role in keeping decision making public. That role is heavily subverted here.
