  § 2-2. Attorney/client privilege.  

Latest version.

  • (a)

    No waiver of the attorney/client privilege between the City Council and its City Attorney or designated attorney representing the City shall occur or be effective unless and until:

    (1)

    The issue of waiver of attorney/client privilege must first be a posted item on the City Council agenda, in accordance with the Texas Open Meetings Act;

    (2)

    The item must be fully voted upon by the City Council; and

    (3)

    Said waiver of attorney/client privilege shall only be effective if a simple majority of the City Council in such vote shall agree to waive the privilege. Should any court find this provision to be invalid, either on its face or as applied, a majority vote shall nonetheless be required.

    (b)

    In no case shall any action by an individual Alderman constitute a waiver of the attorney/client privilege for the City Council. The only recognized waiver of attorney/client privilege by the City Council is the process delineated in subsection (a) of this section.
