![]() The trial court did not abuse its discretion in allowing the introduction of evidence about Aloyan s prior involvement with payments to public officials in connection with government contracts. There also was sufficient evidence showing that the campaign contributions and jobs for the council members relatives were provided in return for the council members approval of the franchise agreement with HUB. Evidence presented at trial supported a finding that Aloyan, through AUS, acted as a public official in advising Compton on its waste collection operations. Appellants argue section 1090 does not apply because neither Aloyan nor HUB was an official or employee of the city, and there was insufficient evidence to prove bribery of city council members. Compton s motion for nonsuit was then granted as to appellants complaint. A jury unanimously found that appellants had violated section 1090 and were liable for over $22 million in damages to Compton. ![]() At trial, Compton advanced two conflict of interest theories under Government Code section 1090 (section 1090), arguing that Aloyan had a prohibited financial interest in the franchise because of his role in managing Compton s in-house waste division, and the franchise was void because members of the Compton city council had illegal interests related to campaign contributions and favors given by HUB and Aloyan. The trial court found that Aloyan was HUB s alter ego, and granted summary adjudication in favor of Compton on its claim for declaratory relief that it did not breach the franchise agreement when terminating it. Compton cross-complained against HUB and Aloyan, seeking to void the contract and disgorge funds from appellants. Some years later, Compton terminated the franchise. The city of Compton had awarded a 15-year waste collection franchise to HUB. _ This conflict of interest case grew out of a suit and cross-action centering on the activities of appellants Michael Aloyan and HUB City Solid Waste Services, Inc.
