FLOCK Gabriel From: Tiffany Edwards <tiffanyedwardspc@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, May 6, 2019 3:58 PM To: FLOCK Gabriel Cc: SOMMERS Lauren A Subject: Potential Conflict Statement Importance: High Hi Gabe, I know I put this on the record at our meeting in April, but wanted you to have it in writing. In an abundance of caution, I am declaring a potential conflict of interest with regards to the Downtown Riverfront: The Planning Commission will consider a package of land use applications related to a proposed redevelopment of the Downtown Riverfront. My employer, the Eugene Chamber of commerce has expressed support for the proposed redevelopment. I am not aware of any financial benefit or detriment to the Chamber that could result from my actions or recommendations as a Planning Commissioner related to the Downtown Riverfront application package. However, in an abundance of caution and pursuant to ORS 244.120, Eugene Code sections 2.333 and 9.7065, and the bylaws of the Eugene Planning Commission, I am declaring a potential conflict of interest with respect to the proposed Downtown Riverfront package. It is possible that the redevelopment of the riverfront could bring new business to town, which could financially benefit the Chamber of Commerce. I understand that after declaring this potential conflict of interest, I may still participate in the deliberations and decision of the Planning Commission. I understand my responsibility in a quasi-judicial setting. I take it seriously that I need to remain unbiased during this process. I have the ability to set aside any personal views and to evaluate the Downtown Riverfront application package based solely on the evidence and argument in the record and the applicable approval criteria. ThanksR.
