Committee Reports and Reports by Council related to meetings attended at City expense (AB

. 9:40:22 PM
Vice Mayor Hart stated, "I wanted to publicly state that I have recused myself from making and
participating in making any decisions in which Discovery Builders is directly involved. I have done so
because my wife and I want to start negotiations with Discovery Builders to potentially purchase
property in Schaefer Ranch. Although recusal is not necessarily required at this point in time, I am
doing so to avoid the appearance of impropriety and out of an abundance of caution. I understand
that Discovery Builders has various applications pending with the City and that some of those
applications may eventually make their way to the City Council. Because of my recusal, if items
directly involving Discovery Builders are presented to the City Council, I will not be participating in
the decisions, so long as my wife and I continue negotiations with Discovery Builders. I would ask
the City Clerk to include my statement in the minutes."
