description and. whether it properly .informed the public. City Attorney Hays explained that the
description includes qualifying langoge. under the Brawn Act in terms of the safe harbor
language; under litigation, citing the case name is adequate. He noted that it is a global case and
all of tate defendants sued by tate City were under "M & P Investments, et al., Case No. CIV -S-00-
2441 FCD ,1FM." Mayor Pro Tempore Howard and Council Members Beckman and Hansen
