WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Paris continues
to strive to follow the requirements of the Constitution of
the Sta te of Texas, the Laws of the State of Texas and the
Charter of the City of Paris, and has never knowingly
violated any of the same; and,

due caution to prevent the possibility of a violation of the
open meetings law, finds that it would be prudent and in the

Paris News, and that the City Attorney, T, K, Haynes,
negotiate the terms of such agreement and report the same to
the City Council; NOW THEREFORE,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARIS,
that no executive sessions be scheduled or held by the City

the law governing the same can be agreed to by the City
Council and The Paris News, or until such time as this
resolution is revoked by resolution of the City Council of
the City of Paris.
Passed and adopted this 1st day of February, 1993.
