I was just checking out the agenda for Tuesday’s La Puente City Council meeting, and it seems they have some very interesting items on there.
First:
|
F-1
|
THE CITY COUNCIL WILL RECESS TO CLOSED SESSION BEING HELD PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54956.9(b) – TO CONFERENCE WITH LEGAL COUNSEL – ANTICIPATED LITIGATION ONE CASE
|
***Hmm, City Attorney James Casso told me last week he would be discussing several *options* with the City Council in regards to recouping $500,000 in missing tow fees from La Puente coffers. Could a lawsuit against the County and the Sheriff’s Department be brewing?
Second:
|
E-7
|
DISCUSSION OF CONSIDERATION OF VEHICLE TOWING SERVICES (Requested by Council Member Solis)
|
****Wow, that was quick. A week after the theft of nearly $500K in impound fees from La Puente went public, Councilman John Solis is requesting consideration of a towing service agreement, according to a city staff report.
I wonder if he’s looking to Bob’s Towing again for the job? Last August, Bob’s Towing submitted an unsolicited bid to the city for an exclusive franchise agreement. Solis said the agreement would bring in more dough for the city, but the council didn’t buy into it.
Haven’t had a chance to ask Solis about the item – ever since the tow story dropped, he’s failed to return about a dozen of my calls.
