Ed Butts Ford back in the game?

I noticed this on the La Puente City Council agenda faxed to me on Thursday for next week’s meeting:

THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION WILL RECESS TO CLOSED SESSION PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54956.8 TO CONFERENCE WITH REAL PROPERTY NEGOTIATORS

PROPERTY: 1515 N. Hacienda Boulevard

NEGOTIATING PARTIES: Michael Hastings of Direct Point Advisors, Consultant for Ed Butts Ford

AGENCY NEGOTIATOR: Executive Director Carol Cowley and Deputy Executive Director Gregg Yamachika

The clause bolded above is not on the agenda that’s up online, but it is on the agenda that was faxed to me.

Hmmm….last time the city and Ed Butts Ford tried to negotiate a deal, it didn’t work out too well.

Wonder if they are trying again or just putting an official end to stalled talks?
