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
relating 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 instructions 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 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 Agency is a
party. The titles of the litigation matters are Spiritual
Psychic Science Church of Truth, Inc. v. City of Azusa and
rcoran, et al. v. uicy or mzusa, eL_al.
SECTION 3. The City Council shall recess to closed
session to confer with its attorney regarding litigation
pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.9(c) in order to
decide whether to initiate litigation. The cases are
against Naim Obeji and Ethel Sue Haaz.
SECTION 4. 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 interests 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.
