Notwithstanding these possibilities, <br /> both agencies have determined that it is in their individua� and mutual interests to have a single <br /> - 1aw fir�n represent tl�am j ointly in connection with the labor and personnel issues presented by <br /> the contracting o�t process. . <br /> While your res�ective positions are presently in har�nony and the pot�ntial coi�flict <br /> discussed above is waivable, facts and circums�ances inay change. For example, oi�e agency <br /> inay change its mind and wish to pursue a co�rs�that is adverse to the interests of anotl�er <br /> agency, and the corlflict may becozne iu�waivable. In t11at case, LCW would likely need to <br /> withdraw from representing both agencies concerning the cantracting out process. <br /> �t is fiirther u�derstaod and agreed that LCW xnay freeiy convey necessary infor�nation <br /> pro�idec� to us by ane agency to the other, and that�here will be no sec�ets as between bot� <br /> agencies concerniil�tbe labor aaad persoiu�el issues presented by the contracting out process <br /> Lulless botli agencies expressly agree to the contrary. <br /> Accordingly, tlzis confirms the infonned consent by the City of San Carlos and R�dwood <br /> City that Liebert Cassidy Whihnore may serve as legal counsel to the two agencies in the manner <br /> described above. This will also confirm that each agency agrees to waive any conflict af interest <br /> arising oufi o£the naatter descr�bed in tlxis letter, and that you will not object to LCW's <br /> representation of both agencies �or this purpose.
