These documents were provided by the City of Urbana in response to a FOIA request which asked for records related to negotiations the Ward 2 City Council member Erik Sacks claimed he was having with a property developer. Sacks claimed:
“Thus, there is opportunity for some negotiation between the City and the developer. To this end and based on feedback I have received from the community, I and Councilperson Maryalice Wu have been working with City staff to request from the developer improvements to the proposed development. These discussions are ongoing.”
However, the City of Urbana could not locate any records indicating that Erik Sacks was holding any negotiations or discussions with the property developer.
