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 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 regarding pending litigation which has been initiated formally and to which the Agency is a party. The title of this litigation is Corcoran v. City of Azusa, Lyte v. Azusa Redevelopment Agency. SECTION 3. In connection with the litigation matters discussed above, the City Council and Board specifically finds that: A. Discussion of the litigation matters in open session would be prejudicial to the interest 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 B. It has received a confidential letter from the City and Agency Attorney pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.9 describing the grounds and the authority for the closed session. SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this Resolution. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 18th day of November 1985.
