City Council Agenda - 11/07/05

Note: Items of special interest to the Mission Viejo Watchdogs are highlighted in red. These represent, in our view, significant issues that require special attention.

In this case: CS3 seems to be a stealth attempt by the auto dealer to have the city give them more money, even though they had previously denied the would request such funds.

Item 25 is another attempt by Lance “I want my gym” MacLean to have the taxpayers fund his pet project.
