® Attorney Selvia discussed Finding of Fact and Conclusion of Law regarding Mary Anne Trapp v.
City of Greencastle, Greencastle City Council, Greencastle Planning Commission and DePauw
University, filed with Putnam County Circuit Court February 24, 1999. Attorney Selvia stated
Judge Brown ruled Bill Dory did have an indirect conflict of interest, therefore, the request to
close College Street will be on the Plan Commission Agenda March 29, 1999 for a new vote with
Bill Dory abstaining from voting and discussion. Attorney Selvia told the Council that they have
the right to appeal, but she feels it would be futile. Attorney Seliva further stated her bill is
approximately $2,100.00, but could have been more if DePauw had not prepared Finding of Fact
and Conclusion of Law and the Order that had to be prepared. Councilor Roach stated we have
already spent too much money on this issue. Councilor Masten stated we don't want to minimize
this finding, but don't want to be gun shy either. Move on and allow to go to Plan Commission.

Michael stated the Request for Production of Documents has been submitted.
Motion to adjourn made by Councilor Masten, seconded by Councilor Hammer. Vote was
