Cynthia L. Eldred (The Law Office of Cynthia L. Eldred) lobbied Heather Ferbert
Deputy City Attorneys Association (Unitemized Member Contributions)
Heather Ferbert worked at the San Diego City Attorney's Office from 2014 to December 2024, rising to Chief Deputy City Attorney. She was a member of the Deputy City Attorneys Association during this tenure (the union endorsed her City Attorney bid in 2024).
Deputy City Attorneys Association (Unitemized Member Contributions)
The Deputy City Attorneys Association of San Diego (Ferbert's own union as Chief Deputy) endorsed her 2024 City Attorney campaign. This is an in-house endorsement from the body she would supervise as City Attorney — both a credential and a potential conflict of interest re: future labor negotiations.
Municipal Employees Association
San Diego Municipal Employees Association (MEA) endorsed Heather Ferbert for City Attorney 2024. MEA represents City of San Diego white-collar workers — same broad category as Deputy City Attorneys. The City Attorney negotiates against MEA on contract matters, so MEA endorsement of an active City Attorney candidate is structurally noteworthy.
Midway Rising LLC
As Chief Deputy City Attorney with land-use/real-estate portfolio under Mara Elliott, Ferbert was the cognizant CA office leader for legal review/clearance of the Midway Rising consortium prior to the Sept 13 2022 City Council selection vote and the Dec 5 2022 Exclusive Negotiating Agreement execution. The CA office found nothing meriting additional caution despite prior Monterey County litigation involving the developer team. La Prensa San Diego documented city-staff complaints that proper vetting was bypassed at the Mayor's direction.
Midway Rising LLC (on behalf of Legends & Zephyr)
Ferbert as Chief Deputy CA (and from Dec 10 2024 as elected City Attorney) signed off on the ENA extension that pushed the ground-lease deadline from Dec 5 2024 to Dec 5 2025 — a one-year extension that occurred 5 days before her swearing-in. CA office is the legal sufficiency reviewer of every Council-approved amendment to a city contract.
Zephyr Investors LLC
As Chief Deputy CA on real-estate portfolio, Ferbert oversaw legal clearance of Zephyr (Brad Termini's firm) as lead consortium member of Midway Rising despite Termini being the largest 2020 mayoral committee donor to Mayor Gloria. La Prensa SD reported sources within the City complained they were blocked from properly vetting Termini's proposal and financial projections.
Zephyr Partners RE LLC
Same procurement clearance role as conn to Zephyr Investors LLC; Zephyr Partners RE LLC is the related Termini-controlled entity in the Midway Rising consortium structure.
Brookfield Properties
CA office (Ferbert as land-use Chief Deputy) reviewed Brookfield Properties as named participant in the Midway Rising consortium structure during 2022 procurement clearance.
Chelsea Investment Corporation
CA office (Ferbert as land-use Chief Deputy) reviewed Chelsea Investment Corporation as the affordable-housing partner in the Midway Rising consortium responsible for 2,000 of 4,250 units at <=80% AMI; affordable-housing subsidy review cited as part of the timeline that triggered the 2024 ENA extension.
Legends International
CA office (Ferbert as land-use Chief Deputy) reviewed Legends International as the arena operator in the Midway Rising consortium structure during 2022 procurement clearance.
San Diego Housing Commission
Pre-2014 outside-counsel-via-firm relationship: Heather Ferbert worked AS counsel to the San Diego Housing Commission while employed at Christensen & Spath LLP from 2009-2014. Lead 1486 (Form 700 SEI pull) resolved her firm name on 2026-05-09. Her 2014-02-11 leaving-office SEI (evidence 24450) confirms the dual role: Cover page lists Agency = "City of San Diego, Housing Commission, Counsel" (her client-assigned role), Schedule C lists employer = "Christensen & Spath LLp", "law firm", "associate attorney", $10,001-$100,000 salary. C&S also represented CDC of National City, Redevelopment Agency of City of San Marcos, City of Chula Vista, and SANDAG.
Mara Elliott
Ferbert worked under Mara Elliott as Deputy/Chief Deputy CA from Apr 2014 to Dec 2024. KPBS Oct 2024 quote: "when Mara took office, that deal [101 Ash] was baked, signed, packaged" — Ferbert claims the original lease-purchase predates Elliott's Dec 2016 swearing-in (i.e., signed under Goldsmith), absolving both Elliott and Ferbert of underlying-deal authorship. IVN Sept 15 2024 article asserts Ferbert had a role in the City Attorney's decision to sign the 101 Ash purchase agreement despite publicly opposing it — a claim that contradicts her Oct 29 2024 NBC 7 blanket "never worked on it" denial. The IVN claim, if true, places her work on 101 Ash in the April 2014 – Dec 2016 window when she was a junior deputy under Goldsmith, not under Elliott.
Midway Rising LLC
Ferbert as City Attorney (Dec 2024–present) speaks publicly as the City's legal voice on Midway Rising — joint statement with Mayor Gloria after CA Supreme Court Oct 2025 ruling that the city is "disappointed but committed" to the project. No public recusal letter, conflict screen, or memo found via OSINT search of City Clerk records, Ethics Commission filings, or news archives Sept 2024–May 2026. Brad Termini (Zephyr Partners) — the Midway Rising affordable-housing partner — was Mayor Gloria's largest 2020 IE donor, normally a fact pattern that warrants at minimum a conflict screen. None has been published. Definitive resolution requires CPRA to City Attorney for all conflict-screen documents related to Midway Rising and Brad Termini / Zephyr Partners.
Downtown San Diego Partnership
Civic Center Revitalization framework (Apr 2024 → Apr 2026) led by Downtown SD Partnership + Prebys + U3 Advisors proposes a Joint Powers Authority transferring city downtown real-estate authority and a multi-billion-dollar redevelopment program. As of May 2026, San Diego City Attorney has issued NO public legal opinion (Legal Opinions index ends at LO-2020-1) and NO public Memorandum of Law on the JPA structure, surplus-lands compliance, or asset disposition. Either the CA office's advice is being given confidentially to Council (not in public index) or has not been issued. Ferbert was sworn in Dec 2024 — entire pre-Council-decision period falls under her tenure. This absence of public legal-opinion output on Civic Center is itself notable for thread T92.
Christensen & Spath LLP
Heather Ferbert was an associate attorney at Christensen & Spath LLP (San Diego law firm at 401 W A St Ste 2250, 92101) until 2014-01-15. Her 2014-02-11 leaving-office Form 700 SEI (eFile #149676365, evidence 24450) is the primary source for the firm name and her position. Schedule C: $10,001-$100,000 salary, "associate attorney". Cover-page agency designation "City of San Diego, Housing Commission, Counsel" reflects her client-assigned role — Christensen & Spath's public-agency client roster includes San Diego Housing Commission, plus CDC of National City, Redevelopment Agency of City of San Marcos, City of Chula Vista, and SANDAG. She moved directly from C&S to City of San Diego City Attorney's Office on 2014-01-22 as Deputy City Attorney (per assuming-office SEI #149734790, evidence 24451). This resolves Lead 1487 with a primary-source document.
Comcast
Heather Ferbert holds Comcast Corporation stock valued at $2,000-$10,000 (FMV). Disclosed on Form 700 (assuming office, leaving office, and 2025 annual). Telecommunications.
Investigations

The Cleared Bidder And The Silent Office Published

Brad Termini fronted the consortium that the San Diego City Attorneys office cleared for the largest piece of public land in the citys portfolio. He gave Mayor Todd Glorias 2020 campaign apparatus more than $100,000. He gave the City Attorney whose office cleared his project nothing. This is the file on what came instead.
