the City is the tenant. One or more landlords for such leases have used Colliers

3. 1 have a personal interest in Colliers International Virginia, LLC because I am an

4. The City Attorney's Office has advised me that although I have a personal interest

Re: Disclosure Regarding the Virginia African American Cultural Center
Dear Mrs. Barnes:
I make the following declaration:
1. I am executing this written disclosure regarding the City Council's vote on the
operating budget for FY26-27.
2. The budget includes funding for the Virginia African American Cultural Center
(VAACC)through regional grants. I am the Founder and Chairman of the VAACC.
I do not receive a salary or other compensation from the VAACC.
3. The City Attorney has advised me that the State and Local Government Conflict of
Interests Act provides that, because I do not receive compensation from the
VAACC, I do not have a"personal interest" in the VAACC, and therefore the Act
places no restriction on my ability to participate in the City Council's discussion
