CARSON CITY -- Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman has been hit with another ethics complaint over his involvement in issues affecting Southern Nevada golf course owner Bill Walters.

Two long-time critics of the mayor, Bob Rose and former City Councilman Steve Miller, filed the complaint Monday with the state Ethics Commission.

In the complaint, they allege Goodman violated ethics laws in 1999 and in 2005 by making motions and voting on matters affecting Walters, his former criminal defense client.

"At no time during the public hearings did Goodman disclose his attorney-client relationship with Walters in the 1980s," the complaint states.

Rose and Miller contend that Walters acquired 160 acres of land from city taxpayers for $894,000 in 1999 to use as a golf course. But now, they say, he wants to convert the property to residential property "automatically raising its value to over $50 million."

"Mayor Goodman -- without disclosing his ties to Walters -- is participating in all discussions and actions involving this matter," they state in the complaint.

But the mayor's office on Tuesday released transcripts of an April 19, 2000, City Council meeting in which Goodman disclosed his past relationship with Walters, and City Attorney Brad Jerbic said he could vote. The vote concerned billboards at the Desert Pines Golf Course.

In disclosing he formerly represented Walters, Goodman said, "That relationship terminated, oh I'd say several years ago."

A spokesman for the mayor added they are searching council records to see if Walters has made any other appearances before the council.

Neither Goodman nor Walters responded to requests for interviews.

Rose, who has filed two previous complaints against Goodman, said the mayor must excuse himself from any votes concerning Walters.

"He has many times received money from Billy Walters and said he is his friend," Rose said. "Let the rest of them do the dirty work. He should abstain."

Based on a complaint by Rose, Goodman was found guilty in May 2004 of violating ethics law when he promoted and hosted a Washington, D.C., cocktail party to benefit his son Ross's IPolitix business venture. He is appealing that decision in District Court.

Despite finding Goodman guilty, the Ethics Commission deadlocked on whether Goodman willfully violated the law that bars public officials from securing "unwarranted privileges" for their families. If the commission had ruled the violation was willful, Goodman could have been fined up to $5,000.

Ethics commissioners cleared Goodman of violating ethics laws in connection with his Bombay Sapphire Gin endorsement contract, his use of a Cadillac donated to the city, and promotion of a contest for Jane Magazine.
