These items relate to a recommendation by the Redevelopment Agency that the City Council adopt an ordinance amending the plan for the Eastside Redevelopment Area to extend the termination date of the plan, extend the time of issuing indebtedness to finance projects with the area, and expand the boundaries of the area. In my private capacity I provide consulting services to Union Village LLC. Union Village is a development company with land located within the Eastside Redevelopment area. And therefore, Union Village would benefit from these items and the proposed ordinance. However, any benefit accruing to Union Village from these items is not greater than the benefit accruing to any other property owner or developer in the Eastside Redevelopment area. As a result, I do not believe that the independence of my judgement on these items, or that of a reasonable person in my situation, would materially affect my professional work for Union Village, and I intend to vote on these items. Nonetheless, I have been advised by counsel to make this disclosure pursuant to the Nevada Ethics in Government Act and to promote transparency.” Redevelopment Agency Meeting Page 6 of 8 Tuesday, September 15, 2020 - Minutes Vice Chairman Marz made the following disclosure statement: “This disclosure is for both RDA-4 and RDA-5.
