Mid-Morning Briefing -- April 9, 2007
A couple of goodies to tie you over 'til lunch...
- Burbank municipal election is just a day away. It's Carolyn Berlin and Phil Berlin, Gary Bric and Anja Reinke squaring off for two City Council seats, followed by seven ballot measures including a visitors occupancy tax and a couple amending the city charter to turn city clerk and treasurer from elected to staff jobs. Drop off those ballots at these designated collection centers by 7 p.m. tomorrow.
- Awfully quiet in Glendale this week post-election. The biggest item is probably the council and the housing authority (who happen to be the same people) deciding how spend this year's nearly $3.6 million in federal Community Development Block Grant money. It's mostly for construction projects, though 15 percent can be allocated toward social services providers like PATH Glendale. Here's the list of potential grantees (big 10 MB file -- you have been warned.)
- Last but not least -- The Times decides to pay attention to the Glendale election results.
