At one of the December meetings, the City Attorney claimed campaign spending on behalf of a city councilmember created a "common law conflict of interest" that required councilmembers to recuse themselves from any discussions related to that issue. Contracts with the police and fire unions are on the agenda today. Lisa Gillmor and Kathy Watanabe benefited from campaign spending by these unions. Doyle must provide the same advice he did in December or admit that his advice in December was wrong.
