Mayor Pureval’s Conflict of Interest with a City Funded Non-Profit – Episode 33
On September 23, 2025, I sent a letter to the mayor and city council about the mayor’s membership on the Board of Directors for Cintrifuse. He has been a member during his entire term, still is. The mayor’s membership on the board creates a conflict of interest because Cintrifuse receives “leveraged Support” funding from the city. As a city official who has a fiduciary duty to the city, his membership on the Board creates a divided loyalty to the city and Cintrifuse. That creates ethics issues.
During the mayor’s term, Cintrifuse has received more than a million dollars from the city. The letter is posted below. Episode 33 tells the story about how the mayor’s conflict came to light and what corrective action was proposed in my letter.
