Irvine City Council unanimously approved legislation to strengthen its conflict of interest policy this week.
The bill adds a provision to contracts with the city that allows the city to cancel a contract and get reimbursed if a member of council or an employee of the city lobbied on behalf of a contractor, paid or unpaid.
