City won't appeal lawsuit decision

The city of Sunnyvale decided not to appeal a judge's February ruling that found councilmembers and staff violated the Ralph M. Brown Act in a series of eight closed sessions in 1995.

Councilmembers came to the decision in a closed-session meeting May 5.

The city will pay court costs and legal fees to the San Jose Mercury News, which brought the suit against the city. The exact amount is still being determined and will become public record once finalized.

"We felt we fought the good fight, and now it's time to move on," Mayor Jim Roberts said. "It's been a distraction for all of us."

CYS features local violinist

The California Youth Symphony has scheduled two Bay Area performances in May that will feature solo violin performances by Cupertino's Miriam Pak.

Pak, a 17-year-old senior at Homestead High School, has played in the CYS for three years and is very involved at her high school, in the community and the local music community as well. She'll play the first movement of a Beethoven violin concerto.

On Sunday, May 17, the CYS will play at the San Mateo Performing Arts Center and on May 24 at the Flint Center in Cupertino.

Tickets are $8 general and $4 for students and seniors. Call 650/325-6666 for more information.
