the Public Works Director s plan to accomplith the work outlined iRR
paragrapHl Above and. further concludes that's testlmorry and docum§nts
presented to the committee does not support the finding that councilor
&euntas R%nowingly or intentlonaly requested or permitted the expenditure
of public funds for the improvemnn of property owned by Brountas Realty
Co.
