Vice Mayor Rosemary Wilson DISCLOSED that she is a real estate agent affiliated with Howard Hanna
Real Estate Services ("Howard Hanna'), who's Oceanfront Office is located at 303 Mh Street Suite 102,

Howard Hanna, and the volume of transactions it handles in any given year,Howard Hanna has an interest
in numerous matters in which she is not personally involved and of which she does not have personal
knowledge. In order to ensure her compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local
Government Conflict of Interests Act (the "Act'), it is her practice to thoroughly review the agenda for
each meeting of City Council for the purpose of identifying any matters in which she might have an actual
orpotential conflict. If, during her review of the agenda for any given meeting of the Council, she identifies

Conflict of Interests Act (the `Act'), it is Council Member Remick's practice to thoroughly review the
