Why was Chetty Builder's flats plan pushed through?

There is a regular scheduled Coatesville City Council meeting on the 4th Monday in December although it is usually canceled unless there is a pressing need to meet.

If City Manager Harry Walker wanted to push through Chetty's flats development before the end of the year there could have been a regular City Council meeting on December 28th.

I couldn’t understand why Walker pushed the approval of Chetty’s flats development through just 2 days after the RDA meeting when there could have been a regular meeting just 5 days later.

Matt Baker has a good point. Maybe the meeting was not held on December 28th because this article that ran on December 27th:

Delaware towns: No home, no refund, no hope

In part the article states:
"Chetty Builders Inc. and its subsidiary The Promenade LLC, are under investigation by the Delaware Attorney General's Office. Carl Chetty would not say why customers' money has not been refunded, but he renewed a promise to repay them. Chetty wrote in an e-mail that he hopes to finish the project someday."
