Staff report, Madam Clerk. Thank you, Mr. Mayor, members of the assembly. The assembly, uh, this is for the assembly to consider whether to waive attorney-client privilege to publicly release a confidential written legal opinion from outside counsel Lande Bennett Bloomstein. The legal opinion addresses the election eligibility of candidate Jeremy Jerry Williamson in relation to active municipal service contracts held by Aimee Maintenance under Kodiak Island Borough Code 2.35015. Because attorney-client privilege materials cannot be released without assembly authorization, a majority vote of the assembly is required should the body choose to release the legal opinion to the public.
