It is ludicrous to think that a low-level temporary employee was "told to redact" part of…Read More legal bills. I don't believe that for a second. More likely, the Admin Services officer just told the clerk to give the auditor the invoices they asked for. Then, when she realized it was going to reveal improprieties (or illegalities), the AO pitched a fit and conveniently, the temporary employee was let go. It does seem to me the City is trying very hard to hide something. I have been reading Libi's rants about the city doing illegal stuff for months. She appears to have been right.

'... Does anyone remember City of Bell?... We don't want hat here....'
too late - the l.a. times…Read More reporter that won the pulitzer prize for his coverage of the city of bell has already contacted me and cbs is already scheduled to film the audit ....
expecting the l.a. times cover up your corruption like 'papa doc' does at the union tribune isn't going to work out for you...
council members are the 1st indicted because they sign the papers and ratify the check warrants ... i contacted every member of council and not one of them would stand up for the art kids.....
....so they all get to fall together....too bad for you.....

This city needs to hire a Qualified City Planner.

Forcing the blame back on the court's for the release of these felon's will not solve the problem…Read More tho, A workable answer is to de=criminalize all state marijuana laws and release all those convicted of marijuana except thos ewith a conviction for distributing over 10 Lbs.

Candy,
Spriggs and Patton are supposed to be researching a Youth Advisory Committee (including a…Read More name with a better acronym).
Sign me up for a Youth committee. With 3 kids, from teen to toddler, I have a very vested interest in keeping activities for all ages. Plus Marc wants on. As a teen he can be a leader to younger kids - like he is in Coronado.
It is just those of us who want to work for our city's betterment, seem to be shot down.

Why can't the Sportspark offer the same type of programs that the YMCA does? I think it would be…Read More great for the City to have have a Parks and Rec's Advisory Committee. The advisory committee could help the rec center establish some new programs and apply for the 1000's of grants available out there.
Lets not forget about the over 800 people in IB who signed a petition and still want a dog park. What about the need for a park in the Oneonta area? A Parks and Rec's Advisory Board could help council with funding and also take some of the work load off of staff. This wouldn't cost the City a dime, sounds like a win-win to me. If the advisory board had some dedicated volunteers, they could establish themselves as a non-profit and apply for grants themselves and help the City pay for these projects. That would free up money in the general fund and allow us to keep our Sportspark, Skatepark and Little Leagues to ourselves. Out sourcing should be our last resort.
