Minutes of this meeting are available here

Pay close attention to items #9 and #10 on the 5/5/08 agenda. Item #9 is a questionable receivables financing method that is burdened by a 10 percent fee to ATS, a big campaign contributor.

Item #10 is the start of a huge expense for a Rose Bowl Float that no one in town except the City Council and City Manager want. I would not be surprised if the total cost exceeds $1M before we are done. Dale Tyler, Editor
