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

California Public Meeting Act) and to only recess to closed

session to confer with its attorneys with respect to

that a substantial exposure to litigation exists with

pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.9(c) in order to
decide whether to initiate litigation. The case involves:

dismissal, and charges against certain employees.
SECTION 5. In connection with the litigation
matters discussed above, the City Council specifically finds
that:
A. Discussion of the litigation matters
described above 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
the Agency; and
