    CM Nils Nehrenheim needs to recuse himself from any discussion or voting about the RB Fire Department and the Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACFD). He currently and worked for the LACFD for over 28 years. He is a lifeguard and has held other various positions with the LACFD. According to a Gov't Code #18701: " "A Public official has a financial interest in any source, whether an individual or an organization, from whom the official has received (or from whom the official has been promised) $500 or more in income within 12 months prior to the decision about which the official is concerned". I find it hard to imagine that Nils Nehrenheim is paid less than $500 per year from the LACFD. I've asked the City Attorney to request CM Nehrenheim's past two years of W-2 and 2024 paystubs. This is the law. It doesn't matter what position he holds with the LACFD, he is paid by them and it's against the law. I'm sure when CM Nehrenheim originally said he had no financial interest in the LACFD, he didn't know about a this code that prohibits him from discussing this issue on the city council.
