The City Attorney shall not participate in the drafting of any instrument on behalf of any client of his firm or offer advice with respect to the drafting where the instrument would be used in a proceeding brought before the Planning Commission, Council or other body of this City. No member of the firm of the City Attorney shall represent a client in the courts of this State in either a civil or criminal matter in which the City of Reynoldsburg is an adverse party.
It is not the intention of Council in enacting this section to prohibit partners of the City Attorney from representing clients of the firm before the Planning Commission, Council or other bodies of the City government. Such representations by that firm do not constitute a conflict of interest.
