Additionally, the question of a possible conflict of interest with respect to Alderman Thompson's association with the firm of Hugh & McKinnon Ltd. was presented to Council as requested in the letter received from Hugh & McKinnon and the City Administrator noted that there was no evidence of a legal conflict of interest respezcing Alderman Thompson and recommended that the firm of Hugh & McKinnon be appointed as the Broker of Record for purposes of the City’s Insurance Coverage.
