Definition
The chairman of the local city council is sympathetic to Engineer A's staffing concerns and offers to issue an order permitting the hiring of additional code officials, but conditions this on Engineer A's concurrence with a grandfathering ordinance that exempts certain buildings from newer, more rigorous code requirements — a politically-motivated quid-pro-quo that trades public safety concessions for resource commitments.
