Staff discloses attorney conflict on ARC incentive project; commission authorizes president to sign waivers
Summary
Staff updated the commission on an ARC project where company principals are represented by an attorney with prior ties to the city; staff said it will step back from representation and requested authorization for the president to sign conflict waivers as the company restructures.
Commission staff provided an update on an ARC incentive project at the Jan. 13 meeting and disclosed prior attorney representation and a related conflict-of-interest waiver.
Staff said the project's principals "are represented by Lee Roberts, who was an attorney in our office," and noted a prior conflict waiver had been agreed. Staff then said it would step back from representing the company this time and asked the commission to authorize the president to sign conflict waivers on the commission's behalf. Staff also warned the company is undergoing restructuring and that an assignment of the company's interest in the agreement to a new entity may be required.
The commission agreed to authorize signature of conflict waivers; the action passed by voice vote. The transcript shows staff recommended the administrative step and referenced prior waivers; it does not include legal opinions or a full description of potential conflicts beyond those statements.
