You’re just a go-between giving the owners’ opinion, not your own. Don’t see a problem with that. It doesn’t mean you agree with it.
Seems like your job would be to represent anything having to do with your employers property not some one else`s.
What would I do? I would be out of a job.
I “feel” you should tender your resignation to the owners so you can be true to the things you “feel”.
Just to be clear ... we live in a “representative republic” which means that you are in FACT electing the person for HIS/HER opinions, feelings, beliefs, etc. because they most closely match yours and can best REPRESENT your thoughts to the Government. The idea of an elected official, much more well informed and theoretically with a better understanding of the facts at hand, sublimating his own values and beliefs to vote the way an off-site group might think is best ... well that ain’t the way it works. RINO’s are people who misrepresent their true feelings in order to get elected and they need to be fired.
As for the caretaker, that is a job where you are specifically hired to act in someone elses best interest. You are obliged to do as they ask in this case or quit. IMHO
You have a fiduciary duty to your employer to represent their position. If you can’t do that then tell them and offer your resignation.

Exactly. .....Compare this to criminal defense lawyers who feel the accused is truly guilty, but are required by law to offer the best defense they can.
If you are hired and paid to go to the meeting you are obligated to represent them and their interests.
Otherwise politely decline giving a vague reason why you can’t attend the meeting.
You have a responsibility to inform them that you can not adequately, and in good faith, represent them.
I’m not sure you’d be seen as having standing to represent them unless you’re an attorney or have some other qualifications.
But you certainly DO have an obligation not to betray your employers. If you really feel like you can’t do it in good conscience tell them that and have them hire a land use attorney to appear for them.
