SECTION 6. In connection with the litigation
matters discussed above, the City Council specifically find
that:
A. Discussion of the litigation matters
described above in open session would be
prejudicial to the interests of 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
Agency's adversaries and allow them to negotiate a
settlement of the matters adverse to the Agency;
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
