City <br />Attorney Anderson noted that statements that his office <br />didn't provide objective legal advice were inaccurate, and <br />whether that advice was upheld in a court as right or <br />wrong, it was irrespective of politics or personal issues. <br />Living Wage Requirements <br />Councilmember Ihlan requested that the next City <br />Council Study Session agenda include discussion and <br />consideration of adopting living wage requirements for <br />any developers or retailers using Tax Increment <br />Financing or other public subsidies. <br />
