Vm. Gupta stated, “I want to publicly state that I will recuse myself from making and
participating in making decisions on Agenda Item 6.2, Grafton Plaza.
My recusal is based on my financial interest in a condominium unit that is within 500 feet of the
boundary of the Grafton Plaza Project, my interest in my business associated with renting the
unit, and the income I receive from a tenant.
Although my condominium is within 500 feet of the project site, it is located more than 500 feet
from the hotel component of project. Therefore, and in accordance with the Fair Political
Practices Commission regulations, site development review approval for the hotel has been
segmented and will be considered separately as Agenda Item 6.3. I will participate in my official
capacity in the consideration of Agenda Item 6.3, but only after all decisions have been
reached on matters in which I have a financial interest.
I would ask that my statement is included in the minutes." Vm. Gupta left the dais and the
Chamber.
