At the request of the City Council, the City Attorney�s office prepared a legal opinion memorandum regarding the possible conflict of interest of Planning Board Member Dan Humfreville relative to his participation in Project No. 2005-50, Conditional Use Permit and Variance for Andre de Montesquiou, California Chicken Caf�.   Sr. Assistant City Attorney Mary Riley prepared the memorandum, which is a confidential attorney-client privileged document.

The Council has asked that the matter of whether or not to waive the attorney-client privilege and publicly release the memorandum be agendized for discussion and possible action. 

Recommendation: 

It is the recommendation of this office that Council direct staff as it desires this matter to be handled.
