any title commitments on any of the property on the project. No title business
has been promised in connection with that project nor have 1 requested it.
Based on the above facts, I do not believe I have any conflict of interest on this
issue. That said, I want do what I can to avoid any perception of a conflict of
interest and try to eliminate a potential false controversy concerning this
important project. As such, I will exercise an abundance of caution and
abstain from any further discussions on the project and will not vote on any
proposed incentive package when presented or vote at future council
meetings.
