An investigation by the Chattanooga city attorney found that City Services Director Jimmy Templeton violated city code by not disclosing that some of his family members had jobs with a city contractor.

City Council Chairman Manny Rico said the council will discuss the report Tuesday but, based on the report, he doesn’t think any serious harm occurred.
