CityCouncil | 2010-07-07 | 13 | Mr. Brown responded that he has heard, seen some blogs emails and stuff like that, yes. Mayor/Chair Johnson inquired whether Mr. Brown has had the opportunity to review the reports, to which Mr. Brown responded in the negative. Mayor/Chair Johnson inquired whether Mr. Brown is aware that he is included in the report as having received unauthorized and/or illegal communications from Councilmember/Boaro Member/Commissioner Tam. Mr. Brown stated that he does not believe he has ever received communication from Councilmember/Board Member/Commissioner Tam. Mayor/Chair Johnson stated that is not what she is asking; clarified that she is asking Mr. Brown if he is aware that the report has evidence of that. Mr. Brown inquired of him receiving [communications]. Mayor/Chair Johnson clarified not Mr. Brown personally, SunCal. Mr. Brown responded yes, he is aware that they have alleged that, yes. Mayor/Chair Johnson stated that she would recommend that SunCal review the report because SunCal is a pretty significant part of the report; inquired if the City Attorney made the request, would SunCal return all privileged or illegal communications, at least the written portions. Mr. Brown responded attorneys are involved; so he would have to ask his attorneys; stated in general, he thinks SunCal have no philosophical problem with it; in his conversations today with the members of his staff and the SunCal staff and team, SunCal absolutely cannot believe anything inappropriate has occurred; to the extent that Mayor/Chair Johnson is asking a legal question, he would have to defer to legal people; in general, SunCal would be happy to disclose that. Mayor/Chair Johnson stated one of the things that people have asked her over the last few weeks is what would it would take for SunCal to stay in the game; obviously questions about transportation, pro forma, economics, cannot be solved over the next few weeks; one of the fundamental things that she has told people and probably people from SunCal, is SunCal need to show that it is a trustworthy partner; if the City is going to work with SunCal as a partner, the City needs to be able to trust SunCal and have a true partnership; the revelations that came out in the report really hurt SunCal's position, because accepting illegal, unauthorized, attorney-client privileged, violations of the Brown Act communications, are not what a trustworthy partner would do.
