Prior to entering Executive Session, the City Attorney read a statement.
Before the Commission acts on the motion to enter executive session, let me state on the
record that the matter about to be discussed are confidential communications between the
City and its attorneys for the purposes authorized by 25 O.S. §307 (B) and protected by
the attorney-client privilege under 12 O.S. § 2502. The privilege belongs to the City as
the client; it does not belong to any individual Commissioner, and it may be waived only
by the Commission acting as a body. Each Commissioner has taken the oath of office
required by the City Charter §58 and has been provided with the executive-session
memorandum and acknowledgement, which is on file with the City Clerk. Consistent
with that oath, the memorandum, and the law, the substance of these discussions, together
with any documents reviewed or an opinion expressed during them, is to be held in
confidence and is not to be disclosed outside this room without the Commission’s
authorization. Unauthorized disclosure of the information, even if the information is
learned outside of the executive session, may impair or be deemed to waive the City’s
attorney-client privilege, including subject-matter waiver or related communications, may
expose the City to civil liability, and may expose the City to civil liability, and may
constitute a breach of the Commissioner’s fiduciary duty to the City.

Motion was made by Commissioner Credle and seconded by Commissioner Sjulin to
convene into Executive Session at 6:19 P.M.
