is a party. The title of this litigation is Lyte v. Azusa

SECTION 3. [INITIATE] The City Council and Board

SECTION 5. In connection with the litigation

prejudicial to the interests of the Agency in that

Agency's adversaries and allow them to negotiate a
settlement of the matters adverse to the Agency;

from the Agency Attorney pursuant to Government
Code Section 54956.9 describing the grounds and the
authority for the closed session.
SECTION 6. The City Clerk and Secretary shall
