SECTION 1. Closed sessions of the City Council and
Board are permitted for various purposes pursuant to
Government Code Section 54957 for the purposes of discus-
sions with the City or Agency Attorney of matters within the
attorney-client privilege relating to litigation and
potential litigation, discussion of matters with the City's
or Agency's authorized labor representative, discussion of
personnel matters relating to the appointment, evaluation,
dismissal, or charges against an employee, or to give
instructions to the City's or Agency negotiator regarding
the purchase, sale, exchange, or lease of certain property,
among others. It is the policy of the City Council and the
Board of Directors to strictly adhere to the requirements of
the Brown Act (the California Public Meeting Act) and to
only recess to closed session when absolutely necessary.
SECTION 2. The City Council and Board of Directors
shall recess to closed session pursuant to Government Code
Section 54956.9(a) to confer with its attorneys with respect
to confidential matters within the attorney-client privilege
regarding pending litigation which has been initiated
formally and to which the Agency is a party. The title of
this litigation is Lyte v. Azusa Redevelopment Agency.
SECTION 3. The City Council and Board of Directors
shall recess to closed session pursuant to Government Code
Section 54956.8 to give instructions to the City's and
Agency's negotiator regarding negotiations with the
following persons for acquisition of interests in certain
designated properties: Dennis King, 960 Gaillard St., Azusa;
Vic Garolfolo, 623-625 N. Azusa Ave., Azusa; R. Talley, 619-

Ave., Azusa; and Bill Bilotti, 635 N. Azusa Ave., Azusa.
SECTION 4. In connection with the litigation
matters discussed above, the City Council and Board
specifically finds that:
A. Discussion of the litigation matters described
above in open session would be prejudicial to the
interests of the City and Agency in that matters
within the attorney-client privilege will be
discussed and disclosure of such discussions would
violate and waive the attorney-client privilege and
would give an unfair advantage to the City's and
Agency's adversaries and allow them to negotiate a
settlement of the matters adverse to the City and
Agency; and
