Former deputy mayor Phil Fujii, who left Mayor Mike McGinn’s administration after just four and a half months, citing health problems, is returning to Vulcan, where he was director of community relations.
Vulcan spokesman David Postman says Fujii will be coming back to Vulcan on a six-month assignment. Postman says he’ll be “working with stakeholder groups on issues like urban design, mobility planning, and pending construction projects including the North Portal & Mercer West.”
He says Vulcan will ensure Fujii’s work doesn’t violate city restrictions against former city employees lobbying the city.
“The main restriction is that Phil can’t communicate with the mayor’s office, or the mayor himself, on behalf of Vulcan for one year,” Postman says. Additionally, former city employees are barred from divulging confidential information gained at the city, barred for two years from helping anyone on a matter in “which you participated” at the city, and barred for one year from communicating with anyone with your old department on behalf of anyone involved with a city issue.
