Keany asked if there was a specific printing business being proposed as part of this office park. If so, he asked the City Attorney if it would be a conflict of interest for him to participate in this discussion. Jim Junge, architect and planner for the project, 9630 E. Powers Place, Englewood, Colorado, stated that there is a specific printing business being proposed, but they welcomed Keany's input and felt there would be no conflict of interest. Susan Griffiths, City Attorney, stated that the decision on whether or not Keany abstained from voting because of a conflict of interest was his to make. Lathrop disclosed that the proposed veterinary clinic happened to be their veterinarian, but he felt it was a merchant relationship and not a conflict of interest. Keany felt that looking at the overall plan was not a conflict of interest, but when it came to specific usage and a specific tenant he would need to excuse himself.
