COMMUNICATIONS <br />Mr. Ellison: Mr. Nimtz, there have been a number of items <br />in the public record regarding the matter of Mr. Butler <br />and an alleged conflict of interest situation which result - <br />ed in the letter from Mayor Nemeth to you. On behalf of <br />the Commission, about a week ago, we publicly acknowledged <br />the situation, as any public agency has certain responsibi- <br />lities in this type of situation. The first of which is to <br />acknowledge that a conflict of interest has been alleged and <br />the second is to indicate what actions are necessary to assure <br />the pu lic that the Commission will continue to operate <br />above- oard as it has done historically. As a result of this, <br />a vari ty of actions have taken place, both on the part of <br />the Commission and the staff. We do have some recommenda- <br />tions Yegarding how to handle our relationship with Michiana <br />Title ompany, but with respect to the specific charges <br />relate to Mr. Butler, I'd want to throw the matter back to <br />the Ch i r. <br />Mr. Ni tz: The Chair will state that he met with Mr. Butler <br />and Mr. Jim Wagoner, of the Abstract Company of St. Joseph <br />County, and with Ann Kolata of the staff as Carl was engaged <br />in the report concerning the Odd Fellows Building. With that <br />introduction, I'll call on Jim Wagoner, President of the <br />Abstract Company of St. Joseph County in the J.M.S. Bldg. <br />Mr. Wagoner: First of all I would like to comment on the bad <br />reporting that took place in the South Bend Tribune last <br />night where it indicated that a new complaint was offered. <br />There ere about four or five errors in that article. I wish <br />they would get the Abstract Company's name correct. It is <br />Abstract Company of St. Joseph County. There are mistakes <br />in this reporting and I was certainly surprised to read <br />-4 <br />LETTER FROM THE <br />HONORABLE PETER J. <br />NEMETH, MAYOR <br />REGARDING LEGAL <br />COUNSEL KEVIN <br />J. BUTLER <br />
