• <br />Complainant: David P. Honan <br />Attorney(s): Scott T. Anderson, Ann R. Goering <br />Action: Summarily dismissed — discipline not warranted <br />Date of Decision: May 10, 2006 <br />Complainant: Helen P. Nere <br />Attorney(s): Jennifer J. Kruckeberg <br />Action: Summarily dismissed — discipline not warranted <br />'AFFIRMATIVE ACTION <br />The firm has adopted an affirmative action policy that has been approved by the State <br />of Minnesota. The firm complies with the affirmative action requirements of the City, <br />except that it cannot determine whether all business with whom we have transacted business <br />have adopted similar policies. <br />CONFLICTS OF INTEREST <br />When new matters come into the office, the firm's attorneys consult one another and <br />run a conflict check to assure no conflict of interest exists. A list of new matters is circulated <br />weekly to all attorneys. <br />In the event a potential conflict of interest may exist, we promptly notify each client <br />or prospective client. If the firm reasonably believes that representation of one client will <br />not adversely affect the relationship with the other client, we will undertake representation <br />only if both clients consent. If we believe our representation of a client could be materially <br />limited by our relationship with another client, we will not represent the client, but will assist <br />the client in finding adequate representation. Our goal in identifying and resolving all <br />conflicts is to maintain the loyalty present in all our client relationships. <br />Potential Conflicts: We are not aware of any party that the firm represents or has <br />represented that would create a direct conflict of interest with our representation of the City <br />of Lino Lakes. Nor are we aware of any client that we have represented on a matter that <br />would impact our ability to fully represent the City even when a direct conflict of interest did <br />not exist. The firm does not currently represent any other local unit of government having <br />jurisdiction within, or contiguous to, the City. <br />Real Estate Developers: We take pride in representing only the interests of <br />municipalities and therefore we do not represent, nor have we ever represented, any real <br />estate developers. <br />9 <br />
