RESOLUTION NO. 2269
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORI-
ZING THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF CALIFORNIA
TO CONDUCT LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
WHEREAS, the City of El Segundo, California, (herein-
after called Public End User) has purchased asphaltic petroleum prod-
ucts (hereinafter called products) either directly or indirectly; and
WHEREAS, it appears that the suppliers of these products
and other persons have acted in violation of the antitrust laws of the
United States and of the State of California, and that Public End User,
in the purchase of these products may have paid more than would have
been paid if lawful competitive conditions had prevailed; and
WHEREAS, the Attorney General of California, acting in
his official capacity to protect and further the legal interests of the
State, its political subdivisions and agencies, has offered to act as the
legal representative of Public End User in connection with these matters;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL OF CALIFORNIA IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED BY PUBLIC END
USER, acting through its duly constituted governing body, to take any and
all legal action and proceedings that he may deem appropriate to recover
for Public End User such monetary damages and other compensation to
which it may be entitled under applicable law, federal or state, by reason
of legal injuries received in the course of purchasing said products. In
so acting as attorney on behalf of Public End User, the Attorney General
may, among other things:
1. Determine in his discretion what product trans-
actions by Public End User, if any, would be brought to suit.
2. Join all or any part of the claims of Public End
User in legal proceedings with all or any part of similar
claims in any manner he may deem appropriate.
3. Settle, compromise, or dismiss all or any part
of any claims of Public End User involved in such proceed-
.108b1�
ings in any manner he may deem appropriate.
4. Distribute in such manner as may be deter-
mined or approved by the Court any money or other re-
coveries received from the defendants in such proceed-
ings, whether by settlement, suit or otherwise, to the
State, its political subdivisions and public agencies, in-
cluding Public End User, which are parties to said pro-
ceedings, excepting the amount of attorneys' fees, costs
and expenses determined or approved by the Court; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, Public End User will, on re-
quest, advance such sums and amounts for costs and expenses of carry-
ing on the litigation herein, other than attorneys' fees, as may be deter-
mined to be Public End User's fair share; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that such amount of attorneys'
fees, costs and expenses incurred by the State in connection with said pro-
ceedings as may be determined or approved by the Court, less amounts
paid in advance by Public End User, shall be paid into the State Treasury
for services rendered and costs and expenses incurred by the Office of the
Attorney General; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Public End User will pro-
vide to the Attorney General the necessary data identifying the transactions
on which the Public End User seeks to claim damages in the legal proceed-
ings authorized by this resolution, and that Public End User shall provide
the personnel necessary to accumulate from the records of Public End User the
documents and other materials necessary to prepare and submit damage claims
in these proceedings.
