  Hello Sunshine,

  I’m emailing to inform you that due to unforeseen circumstances all of the requests you have submitted in October will be delayed. The city recently made the move to gmail. The opengov email address transferred but I was only able to get access to it today. This is why you did not receive a confirmation letter or update when requested. I apologize for the inconvenience and assure you that we are working on your requests now.

  Hi City of Asheville,

  We just received another records request via www.sunshinerequest.com! Here are the details:

  Subject: “List of all the times Mayor Esther Manheimer has had to recuse herself from development votes”

  Message:

   

  “Mayor Esther Manheimer works at Van Winkle, the largest real estate development law firm in Asheville. Due to the fact that a large amount of the developers who bring projects before City Council have retained her firm to ensure approval of their projects, she had had to recuse herself from voting on several occasions because of “Conflict of Interest”.

  I would like a chronological list beginning when she was still just a member of City Council up until her present day position as Mayor, of all the times that Esther has had to recuse herself from development votes. Please include a copy of the City Council agenda and meeting minutes from those instances along with the name of the development firm / individual and the particular project up for approval.”

  Editor’s Note: Please note that the requestor filled out the timeline field on our website which indicates that the date range for this request should also include the period of Jan. 1, 2010 – Oct. 5, 2017.

  Thank you for your help with this request!

  Sunshine
