A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY

JULY 1, 1985, PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF
GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54957 AND MAKING
FINDINGS PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION
54956.9(a) AND (c)
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Closed sessions of the City Council are
permitted for various purposes pursuant to Government Code
Section 54957 for the purposes of discussions with the City
Attorney of matters within the attorney-client privilege relat-
ing to litigation and potential litigation, discussion of matters
with the City's authorized labor representative, discussion
of personnel matters relating to the appointment, evaluation,
dismissal, or charges against an employee, or to give instruc-
tions to the City's negotiator regarding the purchase, sale,
exchange, or lease of certain property, among others. It is
the policy of the City Council of the City of Azusa 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 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 City is a party. The title
of this litigation is "Cities of Anaheim, Azusa, et al., v.
Southern California Edison Company'(antitrust) which was filed
in 1978 in the United States District Court for the Central
District of California (Los Angeles).
SECTION 3. The City Council shall recess to closed
session to confer with its attorney regarding pending litigation
pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.9(c) to decide whether
to initiate litigation in two cases. The first case is against
Manuel Murillo and the second case is against Naim Obeji,
William Hinckley, Harry Goodlin, and the Canyon Inn.
SECTION 4. The City Council shall recess to closed
session to meet with its designated representatives regarding
labor relations matters pursuant to Government Code Section 54957.6.
SECTION 5. The City Council shall recess to closed
session to consider personnel matters pursuant to Government
Code Section 54957 relating to the appointment, evaluation,
dismissal, and charges against certain employees.
SECTION 6. In connection with the litigation matters
discussed above, the City Council specifically finds that:
A. Discussion of the litigation matters in open
session would be prejudicial to the interests
of the City 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 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 7. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption
of this Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 1st day of July
1985.
