Evansville City Council; Moves to appoint Chris Eager to Redevelopment Authority for 5 year term; Discusses recusal in conflict of interest cases

The Evansville Common Council met on Friday, April 28, 2006 and appointed Chris Eager to the Redevelopment Authority for a five year term. There was considerable discussion of whether Mr. Eager would recuse himself in cases where he had a conflict of interest. Two cases were mentioned. The first is covered in the audiopost by Mr. Sorenson and was the vote to approve the new Bank at Union and Main. Mr. Eager cast the lone dissenting vote. The question was from some citizens whether this was due to the fact that this was a competitor as compared to the merits of the case.

The second case was the motion by Mr. Decker and second by Mr. Eager to approve the application of the Economy Store for 25% of 1.9 million where UB& T was identified as a possible banker of interest in the matter.

The council was told that Mr. Eager would recuse himself appropriately and the council voted unanimously to approve his appointment.
