This was a three (3) to two (2) decision to negotiate with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) over its threat to sue unless a small cross is removed from the county seal, rather than to fight the threatened lawsuit.

Zev Yaroslavsky one of the three (3) voting for removal said: "I don't personally believe that any religious symbol on any government seal is appropriate."
