I am certain that the village has attorney’s who verify “conflict of interest” issues. If there can be two residents of Mallard Point on the board and they can discuss the mallard point issues, and push things a certain way, is that a conflict of interest? do they have a vested interest in the outcome of the village’s decisions/votes? I don’t think you are looking at the whole picture. Also, in your FOIA, did you find out how much of the money paid to EEI was reimbursed to the village through developer fees? Also, please remember that professional service contracts are not bid. they are awarded based on qualifications. EEI was the village engineer before sean was ever village president and according to other articles, he has stated that he has never voted on an EEI contract. Also, after some digging, did you know that each year all elected officials, not just village officials, fill out a statement of economic interest?
