CHULA VISTA APPROVING A WAIVER OF POTENTIAL
CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH RESPECT TO
PROSPECTIVE REPRESENTATION OF MR. WALTER
SCHANUEL BY GLEN GOOGINS AS IT RELATES TO CODE
ENFORCEMENT MATTER HI 04-0362
WHEREAS, Glen R. Googins was employed as an attorney for the City of Chula Vista
from 1993 to 2004; and
WHEREAS, under California Rules of Professional Conduct 3-310(E), an attorney "shall
not, without the informed written consent, of the. . . former client, accept employment adverse to
a . . . former client where by, reason of the representation of the former client, the attorney has
obtained confidential information material to the employment."; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Schanuel proposes to retain Mr. Googins in connection with
representation related to a pending code enforcement action. The scope of the representation is
outlined in a letter from Mr. Googins to the City Attorney dated, December 2,2005; and
WHEREAS, because Mr. Googins had limited involvement with code enforcement
matters and never worked on a code enforcement action at this site, his representation of Mr.
Schanuel in the pending code enforcement action does not appear to present a potential conflict
which could harm the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby waive any potential conflict of interest related Mr. Googins' representation of
Mr. Schanuel as it relates to the pending code enforcement action (#HI04-0362).
