that:

session would be prejudicial to the interest of
the City in that matters within the attorney-client

disscussions would violate and waive the attorney-
client privilege and would give an unfair advantage
to the City's adversaries and allow them to
negotiate a settlement of the matters adverse to
the City; and
B. It has received a confidential letter from the
City Attorney pursuant to Government Code Section
54956.9 describing the grounds and the authority
for the closed session.
SECTION 8. The City Clerk/Secretary shall certify the
