OF CITY ATTORNEY - OUTSIDE LEGAL OPINIONS
In a memorandum dated December 31,1986, Council
Member Strickler requested discussion regarding the policy
for hiring of outside legal counsel to furnish the Mayor
and Common Council with opinions when necessary.
This request for discussion arose from memorandums
dated November 19, 1986, to the Mayor and Common Council,
and December 12, 1986, to Jack Strickler, Chairman of the
Legislative Review Committee, from City Attorney Ralph
Prince, concerning legal representation in conflict of
interest cases.

In a letter dated December 17, 1986, from Council
Member Strickler, City Attorney prince's memorandums were
referred to Attorney General John Van de Kamp for assis-
tance. In a response letter dated December 24, 1986, Jack
Winkler, Assistant Attorney General, Opinion Unit, de-
clined to make an opinion regarding the proper represen-
tation a City Attorney is to provide to the Common Coun-
cil, as the Attorney General has no authority to provide
opinions to city officials on civil law questions.
The Mayor and Common Council considered whether or
not discussion of this item was proper under the Brown Act
by making a motion to open discussion. (See Page 3)
City Attorney Prince stated that due to the request
for discussion not having been listed on the Council
Agenda for this meeting, that discussion of this item is
improper under the Brown Act.
POLICY - BROWN ACT - LISTING OF ITEMS ON AGENDA
The Mayor and Common Council questioned City Attorney
Prince as to why the recent amendments to the Brown Act
had not been previously brought to their attention and put
on the Council Agenda for discussion.
Discussion was held concerning the listing of "Brief
comments by Council Members on general matters of City
business" and "Appointments - Commission/Committee" on the
first page of the Council Agenda.
City Attorney Prince answered questions, stating that
no action may be taken on any subject not defined on the
agenda. The item should be included on the agenda if
action is to be taken. Omission of the item on the agenda
does not limit discussion.
COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ EXCUSED
Council Member Hernandez protested the discussion and
left the Council Table.
Discussion was held concerning previous Council
action regarding Mayor Wilcox sending a letter to the
Attorney General for information on the providing of
legal opinions.
City Attorney Prince stated that although a subject
was previously listed on a Council Agenda and was discus-
sed, this does not qualify the subject for discussion at
subsequent meetings.
City Attorney Prince stated that if an appointment is
to be made, the action must be described on the Council
Agenda. The blanket title of "Appointments-Commission/
Committee" is not sufficient to comply with the Brown Act.
The Mayor and Common Council questioned City Attorney
Prince as to why they had not been previously apprised of
new information to be effective January 1, 1987, concern-
ing the Brown Act, as it was received in the City Attor-
ney's Office several months ago.
City Attorney Prince stated that a group of attorneys
had conferred to interpret the new law. Council Member
Strickler's item is not considered a continued item and
was not on the agenda; therefore, it should not be dis-
cussed at this time.
Council Member Strickler made a motion that discus-
sion regarding policy on providing legal opinions be made
the first item of business on the next agenda.

1/5/87
The motion died for lack of a second.
Council Member Marks made a substitute motion,
seconded by Council Member Frazier and unanimously car-
ried, that the Mayor and Common Council discuss Council
Member Strickler's item, which had need to be discussed
prior to the 72 hours, but for some unforeseen circum-
stance was not placed on the agenda; therefore, we will
comply with the direction of the City Attorney and say
that the need arose within the 72-hour period.
COUNCIL MEMBER ESTRADA ARRIVED
At 9:40 a.m., Council Member Estrada arrived at the
Council Meeting and took her place at the Council Table.
Discussion was held concerning the role of the City
Attorney and his/her responsibility to the Mayor and Com-
mon Council as opposed to information written in two
memorandums dated November 19, and December 12, 1986, by
City Attorney Ralph Prince.
Council Member Strickler suggested the hiring of an
unbiased, outside attorney to give an opinion regarding
the two memorandums of City Attorney Prince, that the City
Administrator be responsible for locating the outside
attorney, and that the funds come from the City Attorney's
fund for hiring outside legal counsel.
City Attorney Prince stated that he is willing and
able to provide a legal opinion, that he would like for
the opinion stated in his memorandums of November 19, and
December 12, 1986, to be made public, and suggested an
alternative of having an attorney from his office provide
an independent legal opinion not reviewed by City Attorney
Prince, in order to save funds.
City Attorney Prince further stated that he does not
approve of hiring special counsel when an opinion can be
obtained from other city attorneys without cost to the
City, as counsel from the private sector will not have
expertise in City law. He stated that not all City Attor-
neys are elected officials and that he could obtain an
unbiased opinion for the Mayor and Common Council.
Council Member Strickler suggested going to outside
legal counsel with recognized expertise in City law for an
opinion regarding Mr. prince's two most recent memorandums
regarding his policy and that the presiding officer of the
Superior Court find the outside counsel to provide opinion
regarding the City Attorney's responsibility to represent
the Mayor and Common Council.
Ralph Hernandez, Council Member of the Third Ward,
speaking as a member of the public, stated that he felt
that the Mayor and Common Council were wrong in discussing
the subject as it was not listed on the agenda and was,
therefore, in violation of the Brown Act, and an ordinance
previously authorized by the Mayor and Common Council
providing guidelines for the hiring of outside legal
counsel.
.---
City Attorney Prince read from the Municipal
the City of San Bernardino governing the hiring of
legal counsel and objected to the Council hiring
counsel without his approval.

nardino with respect to analyzing the appropriate role of
the City Attorney with respect to representing individual
Council Members, the Council, department heads, and the
City as a whole.
Council Member Marks made a substitute motion,
seconded by Council Member Strickler and unanimously car-
ried, that the subject of hiring outside legal counsel be
continued to the afternoon session. (See Page 21)

Council Member Hernandez and unanimously carried, that

for a least a month prior to the effective date of the law
in order to be familiar with the regulations.
City Attorney Prince answered questions regarding how
the time limits stated in the resolution were obtained.

POLICY - APPOINTMENTS - AGENDA

tions at this meeting, as identification was not speci-
fically made on the Agenda.

that they may be present at the meeting to ask questions
or give their opinion.

on the Agenda in order to make appointments as they become

In a memorandum dated December 8, 1986, Council Mem-
ber Quiel, Fifth Ward, appealed the Planning Commission's

ship is not in the City's best interest.

subdivision and a six-month maintenance fee for each unit
in the event of a default, as well as continuance of the
maintenance at a proper level and the developer providing
a $10,000 deposit to the City prior to the recordation of
the final tract map.

al Conditions of Approval for Tentative Tract No. 13473"
as follows:

upkeep of all 22 lots and buildings shall be established
by the developer prior to final occupancy of any building.
Said trust shall be used in the event that any apartment
owner fails to pay their monthly maintenance association
dues or fails to provide normal upkeep and maintenance of
their building or buildings. The amount to be provided by
the developer shall be equal to six months association
dues. Any excess interest earned through the trust shall
be paid out equally to each apartment owner on an annual
basis. The final documents of the trust shall be submit-
ted to the Planning Department for review and approval.
2. A $10,000 cash deposit shall be provided to the
City Public Works Department by the developer to assist in
the construction of a bridge on 48th Street over the ad-
joining Flood Control Channel abutting the site to the
east, prior to recordation of the final tract map.
John Hoge, 1380 W. 48th Street, spoke against the

swered questions regarding the neighborhood homeowners
management association.
