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." ...
