Attorney of matters of within the attorney-client privilage

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.

discussed above, the City Council specifically find that:
A. Discussion of the litigation matters
discribed above in open session would be prejudicial
to the interests of the City in that matters within

disclosure of such discussions would violate and
waive the attorney-client privelege and would give
an unfair advantage to the City adversaries and
allow them to negotiate a settlement of the
matters adverse to the City; and

from the City pursuant to Government Code Section
54956.9 describing the grounds and the authority
for the closed session.
