HONORABLE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL
From ALLEN R. BRIGGS
Sr. Asst. City Attorney
Date September 26, 1986
Subject
Meeting with Representative~ Fair
Political Practices Commission
Approved
Date
750.80
John McLean, an attorney with the Fair Political Practices
Commission, has been designated by the Commission to meet with
the Mayor and Common Council and the Community Development
Commission to discuss the general principles of conflict of
interest. He has suggested five alternate dates, anyone of
which is available to him at this time. He would plan to fly
down from Sacramento for the meeting, and return the same day.
He advises that he would be happy to meet at the Council's
convenience, but suggests that any morning meeting not start
earlier than 10:00 a.m., if convenient. He is available
either morning or afternoon on wednesday, October 15,
Thursday, October 16, or Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday,
October 21, 22, or 23.
He asks that I get back to him as early as possible to advise
him which day the Council prefers.
I have been advised by the Attorney General's office that they
customarily do not meet with local units of governments, and
that it is the Attorney General's position that City Attorneys
and other local counsel generally are more familiar with and
better prepared to address issues of Government Code Section
1090 type violations than is the Attorney General's office. I
have not received a final rejection, but a preliminary "highly
doubtful" response. After you have advised me what date the
Council prefers, I will again contact the Attorney General's
office to see if they will send a representative.
Also, I will contact the District Attorney's office to seek to
have them send a representative.
