1. RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA
WAIVING A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH RESPECT TO
PROPOSED REPRESENTATION OF SUPERIOR READY MIX CONCRETE
Former Senior Assistant City Attorney Glen R. Googins requested that the City Attorney
confirm that Mr. Googins' prospective representation of Superior Ready Mix Concrete
does not present a conflict of interest that must be waived pursuant to California Rules of
Professional Conduct 3-31 O(D). The decision to waive a potential conflict of interest lies
with the City Council. Although there is always the potential for future conflict, it does
not appear at this time that the interests of Mr. Googins' prospective client are adverse to
the City. Accordingly, it is recommended that the City Council waive any potential
conflict arising from the limited scope of the proposed representation. (City Attorney)
Staff recommendation: Council adopt the resolution.
