I believe that this would be a disservice to the public. <br />Many of us saw the email thread that she “inadvertently” submitted on March 7, 2018 and thought her actions highly <br />inappropriate. <br />We have been aware for some time that Ms Nicolello is a paid employee of Schirmer/Satre Group and is also the youngest <br />member of the <br />Eugene Planning Commission. We have heard that this is not the first time that she has participated in planning decisions <br />where she should be recusing herself. <br />Obviously, Ms Nicolello and her employer, Ms Schirmer, do not feel that her involvement in both can be a conflict of <br />interest, but believe me, many others do. <br />Please enter this email and the two attachments into the record and confirm receipt. <br />Thank you very much, <br />Catherine johnson <br />1 <br /> <br />
