Furthermore, that prior to the Council meeting of August 11, 1992, he and the City Manager had discussions about the propriety under closed session of the Ralph M. Brown Act under the circumstances you described, and that he had advised the Council prior to that time, that he believed that the session was allowed under the Ralph M.

Councilman Robbins stated for the public record that he had spoken with Mr. Prim yesterday and discovered the following 1) Mr. Prim's name was misspelled on the flyer; it should be Prim not Primn; 2) Mr. Prim was upset that the recent flyer misquoted him because he had actually stated that the Attorney General's Office was prohibited from giving legal advice, opinions, or research; 3) Mr. Prim stated he had never spoken to a Scot Dannen, but had received one phone call vaguely related to this, and the information he gave at that time was not in any way close to what was in the flyer - nor did he state that there was any legal violations or violations of the Brown Act, and 4) Mr. Prim stated he would be conducting his own investigation into the flyer. Scot Dannen stated that last night he brought up a matter in which an individual was stopped in an attempt to express their freedom of speech in the City of El Segundo by the Police Department; that he understood the Council planned on addressing this tonight, and questioned whether this included discussion of the ^ content of that flyer; Mayor Jacobson responded that the Council would not be addressing the content of the flyer, but only the complaint of being stopped.

Further stating, because Mr. Dannen was the chairperson at the El Segundo Community Association meeting which she attended, it appeared that Mayor ProTem Wise was encouraging and funding that drive to recall three of his fellow councilmen which she felt was damaging to the community. She then submitted copies of the faxed letter to the Council; Councilman Robbins stated while reading the submitted letter that it was not on stationary but had Wise Electric and their fax phone number at the top which may have made it appear to be on stationary. Mayor ProTem Wise reviewed the letter and responded that he had not seen the letter before tonight; that the letter was not on Wise Electric stationary but verified that the heading stated Wise Electric with the fax phone number; that Mr. Dannen was one of a hundred employees of his; that there are over 500 fax's sent out daily of which he does not have control over.

SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS Scot Dannen's Complaint /Allegation Of Improperly Interfering With Persons First Amendment Rights. Police Chief Grimmond presented a report regarding a call received by the Dispatch Operator on 911 regarding a female who looked lost, wandering, or possibly casing, which the Officer and a backup Officer responded within 15 minutes. The Officer found the individual on the resident's property who had made the 911 phone call, and that the individual was handing out political literature. After the Officer had a conversation with this individual, she went to look up the section exempting political literature and was trying to find it in the Code book, but the individual responded that she was going to stop and go home, and the Officer informed the individual that if she would call the Watch Commander at the Police Department they would look up that section and give her the quote of the section. Further stating, he there are over 400 codes for the Officers to remember, and felt the Officer acted in good faith.

Councilman Robbins stated that he felt at a minimum it was premature to pass a budget of this magnitude due to the fact that the city had not experienced day or night population growth; still facing economic bombshell regarding the aerospace decision which could cost $2-8 million payable in two years if we do not get relief on that; possibility of Sacramento taking away part or all of our property tax revenues; and that he felt they could have done better on the budget - that this issue was not whether they cared about quality education because that was only one aspect of the budget, and there were other issues he felt were not fully addressed.
