summary
Summary Explanation/Background:
John R. Chapman is seeking to become a member of the Marine Advisory Board (“MAB”) of Pompano Beach and is requesting a Waiver of Conflict from the City of Pompano Beach after full disclosure of the potential for a conflict of interest. Mr. Chapman is a partner with the law firm Holland & Knight LLP which currently represents Pompano Pier Associates, LLC in matters whose interests may at some point in time be adverse to the interests of the City of Pompano Beach. Holland & Knight has a substantial practice in the areas of real estate development, transactional, government contracts, and land use and zoning; Holland & Knight’s clients may from time to time find themselves in relationships that are potentially or actually adverse to the City of Pompano Beach and/or MAB.
However, Mr. Chapman shall recuse himself should any matter create a conflict as to his participation on the Board, and will not use any information gained as a member of the MAB against the City’s interests in his private role as an attorney.
Origin of request for this action: City Attorney
Fiscal impact and source of funding: N/A
