As your attorney, I submit this memorandum stating

A. There is an appeal now pending in the Court of
Appeal, Third Appellate District, entitled South Tahoe Public

et al., Defendants and Respondents, Sierra Club, Inc., et al.,
Intervenors-Appel!ants, Case No. 3 Civil 24892. Discussing
said pending litigation, Amador County Superior Court Action No.

24892, in open session would prejudice the position of the Dis-
trict. I only learned of a Settlement Conference advanced from
June 7, 1985 to April 19, 1985 on the date of the Special Board
meeting of April 8, 1985, and had no opportunity to prepare this
memorandum for distribution prior to the special meeting of
April 8, 1985, at which an executive Session was requested on
said appeal. The section and subdivision of the Government Code
a~thorizing the closed meeting is set forth for the following
reason: Section 54956.9(a).
