8T AFF REPORT
Council Meeting Date: Julv 5. 2005
TO: Mayor and Common Council
FROM: James F. Penman, City Attorney
DATE: July 1, 2005
AGENDA ITEM No. 52: Waiver of Conflict of Interest
The City of Lorna Linda is planning to build their own small, wastewater stripper plant which
will strip off secondary wastewater but will continue to transmit whatever isn't treated at
their plant to the wastewater plant in the City of San Bernardino.
The City of Lorna Linda contends there should be a reduction in the fee they pay San
Bernardino for our wastewater treatment plant to process their wastewater when their plant
becomes operational. They also contend they are entitled to a rebate of certain past fees.
However, our plant will still need to reserve capacity for the bio-solids, for the remaining
wastewater stream, and for those times when Lorna Linda has no demands for the
recycled water they expect their proposed plant to produce. (Lorna Linda's proposed plant
will have no ability to digest bio-solids, which will still have to be treated at our wastewater
treatment plant.)
The law firm of Best, Best & Krieger has represented the City on various matters in the
past. That firm is presently representing the City of San Bernardino on only two cases,
a police personnel issue and a Fire Department Union proposal. It is unlikely that the firm's
past or current representation of our City would raise any actual conflicts if the firm is
retained by the City of Lorna Linda to represent that City in the above-described
controversy.
The City Attorney's Office recommends that the potential conflict be waived.
