ACKNOWLEDGING THE CITY'S INTENT TO ACQUIRE THE REAL PROPERTY

WHEREAS, the Property is currently owned by ten members of the Schneider family,
who have been marketing the Property for sale; and

Streets, Stormwater, Forestry and Natural Areas Departments; and
WHEREAS, the proposed purchase price of the Property is $1,169,000; and
WHEREAS, the City's Streets Superintendent, Larry Schneider, is the son of one of the
owners of the Property; but, to comply with the conflict of interest provisions of the City Charter,
Mr. Schneider has been deliberately removed from participating in any discussion or process
related to the City's interest in the Property, and has not exercised, directly or indirectly, any
decision making authority concerning the sale of the Property to the City; and
WHEREAS, City staff is seeking acknowledgement by the City Council of the City's
intent to purchase the Property and the steps that have been taken to avoid a conflict of interest
