City Attorney Allen presented a resolution fixing the salaries for certain
Police Department employees. Motion was made by Councilman Nagel, seconded

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, FIXING
THE COMPENSATION OF CERTAIN EMPLOYEES
IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.,
which was read, be adopted.

2. City Manager Jones reported that the City had been informed that
there is a possibility of litigation against the City in connection with a pending
development by Standard Oil Company of a desulfurization plant on refinery
property. This may involve whether or not the City should require an Environ-
mental Impact Report under a rather obscure section of the code which has not
been used in several years.
This action might cause a conflict of interest because City Attorney
Allen is a member of the law firm which also represents the City of Manhattan
Beach, a party to the litigation. Therefore, Mr. Allen had recommended and
Mr Jones had concurred that the City should obtain other counsel to advise the
City in this matter.
Mr. Jones presented a letter proposal dated July 5, 1973 from the law
firm of Martin & Flandrick of San Marino, California and recommended that this
proposal be accepted. This proposal provides for a fee of $60. 00 per hour for
senior members and $40. 00 per hour for junior members of the firm.

Motion was made by Councilman Morgan, seconded by Councilman

litigation. Motion carried by the following vote:
Ayes: Councilmen Morgan, Nagel, Stephens

Absent: Councilman McGill.
No other business appearing to come before the Council at this
session, it was moved by Councilman Morgan, seconded by Councilman
