San Diego City Council will discuss a proposed settlement with the real estate broker who helped the city negotiate lease-to-own agreements for the 101 Ash Street and Civic Center Plaza buildings and earned more than $9.4 million for doing so.
"The proposed settlement offers an opportunity to hold Jason Hughes accountable and reclaim every dollar he wrongfully took from San Diegans," they wrote in a joint statement."We continue to believe he should be held accountable by the justice system for his actions, but we are glad to take this positive step forward as we continue to correct for the mistakes of the past.
Hughes' attorneys have maintained that he disclosed his intent to receive compensation to several city officials.On Wednesday, KPBS reached out to Hughes's attorney, Michael Attanasio, who said he is not commenting on the case at this time. Elliott urged the City Council to reject the settlement. A report from the office states that the settlement proposal"presents several significant disadvantages to the city and does not adequately protect the city's legal and financial interests."
