2. City Council authorize the public release of the instructions in Confidential Attachment 1 to the report (April 26, 2022) from the City Solicitor if adopted by City Council, with the balance of the Confidential Attachment 1 to remain confidential as it contains advice which is subject to solicitor-client privilege.
