The Mayor announced that the City O/C-John
Council would immediately adjourn to Wayne Airpori
closed session which is authorized by
Government Code Section 54956.9(c), in
that the City Council is presently
deciding whether to initiate litigation
against the Orange County Board of
Supervisors regarding the certification
and approval, by the Orange County Board
of Supervisors, on February 26, 1985, of
EIR 508, the Airport Master Plan, and
the Airport Access Plan. This closed
session is necessary to allow legal
counsel to fully inform the City Council
as to the facts and circumstances which
may warrant litigation, the legal
authority upon which the ligitation
would be based, and other matters
pertaining to the potential lawsuit.
The position of the City of Newport
Beach in the possible litigation would
be prejudiced if the legal or factual
basis for the possible litigation is
discussed in open session.
