RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Closed Sessions of the City Council
are permitted for various purposes pursuant to Government

Attorney of matters of within the attorney-client privilage

of matters with the City's or authorized labor

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

its attorney-client privilege regarding pending litigation which
has been initiated formally and to which the City is a party.
The title of this litigation is Ayon v. City of Azusa.
SECTION 3 . The City Council shall recess to CLOSED

items of potential litigation and is hereby of the opinion that
substantial exposure to litigation exists.
SECTION 4. 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 City in that
matters within the attorney-client privilege
will be discussed and disclosure of such
discussions would violate and waive the
attorney-client privelege 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 5. The City Clerk shall certify the
