Broker in Two City Real Estate Deals had Undisclosed Contracts with City Landlord
“The former volunteer city real estate adviser who received $9.4 million in payments for two city lease deals also had two previously undisclosed contracts with the city’s landlord, including separate non-disclosure and fee agreements signed before the City Council voted to approve the first lease,” reports Lisa Halverstadt in Voice Of San Diego.
“Those agreements came after then-Mayor Bob Filner, in 2013, appointed real estate broker Jason Hughes as his special assistant on downtown real estate issues and commended him for agreeing to work “without compensation from any party. Less than two years later, as an adviser to then Mayor Kevin Faulconer, Hughes signed.”
