OF THE CITY OF AZUSA TO RECESS TO CLOSED
SESSION ON MAY 6, 1991
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA AND THE BOARD
OF DIRECTORS OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF
AZUSA DO HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Closed sessions of the City Council and
Board of Directors are permitted for various purposes
pursuant to Government Code Section 54957 for the purposes
of discussions 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 or City is a party. The
titles of these litigation are Bauzon v. Azusa; Santos v.
Azusa; Alvarez v. Azusa.
SECTION 3. The City Council and Board of Directors
shall recess to closed session to confer with its attorneys
with respect to confidential matters within the attorney-
client privilege pursuant to Government Code Section
54956(b) in order to discuss one (1) potential litigation
and is hereby of the opinion that a substantial exposure to
litigation exists with respect to such items.
SECTION 4. In connection with the litigation
matters discussed above, the City Council and Board of
Directors specifically find that:
A. Discussion of the litigation matters described
above in open session would be prejudicial to the
interests of the City and the 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 the Agency's adversaries and allow them
to negotiate a settlement of the matters adverse to
the City and the Agency; and

•
B. It has received a confidential letter from the
City and Agency Attorney pursuant to Government
