Alderman Sayad read the following statement for the
record:
"At the last City Council meeting on a vote to authorize
Staff to negotiate a redevelopment agreement with Tartan
Realty, for the property at 2695 Mannheim, I abstained
from the roll call. I did so because I know the second
bidder and thought it appropriate not to vote. However,
the Legal Department has confirmed that had I voted on
the successful bidder it would not have been a conflict
of interest. I am making this statement at this time to
clarify the record regarding my abstention at the October
17, 2005 meeting. Thank you."
