Minas Yerelian, stated that for 40 years there has been an understanding regarding
Attorney-Client privileged communications between the City and the City Attorney. He
noted his opposition to restrictions regarding limiting the manner in which a Council
Member can review confidential documents. He suggested that the City needs a legal
committee to help the Council make decisions regarding legal matters.
Lowell Wedemeyer, Rancho Palos Verdes, stated that he submitted his comments as
part of late correspondence, noting that State law protects much of the Attorney-Client
privileged communications. He summarized his comments that the Council consists of
non-lawyers who receive advice from the City Attorney, and he opined that there should
be the means for Council Members, if they are in the minority on a decision, to seek a
second opinion regarding if an item is or is not attorney-client privileged. He suggested
that Council Members be allowed to obtain independent counsel advice from a qualified
attorney who certifies that he/she has no conflict of interest by giving his opinion, and
states that he/she will preserve the attorney-client privilege. He added that the City
would be better off by not having a policy and addressing the issue on a case by case
basis.
Discussion ensued among Council Members and City Attorney Lynch.
Councilwoman Brooks moved, seconded by Mayor Duhovic, to waive the attorney-client
privilege of an item discussed in Closed Session, but to not discuss the underlying topic.

NOES: None
ABSENT: None
Tom Long, Rancho Palos Verdes, stated that he was one of two attorneys to serve on
the Council in the last 10 years. He noted that when serving on the Council, the
attorney-client privileged issues were easy to identify and agreed that the City was able
to get by for 40 years without a policy of this nature; however, he realized that the
situation may have changed. He added that in all the years on Council he found City
Attorney Lynch to be objective and correct in her advice to the City Council. He stated
that he recalled City Attorney Lynch collecting sensitive materials from Council
Members after discussion of the matters, and the procedure requiring the City Attorney
to rewrite memorandums on the rare occasion that the Council, as a whole, would waive
the City Attorney’s advice on an issue.
Discussion ensued among Council Members and Mr. Long.
