I’m shocked, shocked I tell you
In what world is it ok to verbally modify a contract of that size with a public entity?
.
In the private business world, any buyer or salesman who didn’t “get it in writing” would have been fired upon discovery.
^^^This is Business Law 101, taught in every business school everywhere. And despite my lack of a law degree, I’m pretty sure that lawyers are educated in contract law.
The main problem is that Andy Cook thinks he’s Jim Brainard. However Cook does not have a lapdog council like Brainard does.
Amen
Unfortunately the SBoA has no teeth. Brainard has thumbed his nose at them repeatedly. Cook has learned from the master crook
My understanding is the City has an $250k annual retainer with a major law firm. The comments from the City PR person also seem to imply the administration believed these actions to be legal? Were these revised agreements actually approved by our legal counsel? It seems like they must have been given the legal counsel would have likely drafted the revised agreements to begin with. If that is the case, I think we deserve a refund as any reasonable person would could see the potential conflicts and issues arising from this gross lack of transparency and overall sloppiness in accounting for hundreds of thousands of our tax dollars. Blaming the SBoA for not giving the city an opportunity to cure this before issuing a report is the flimsiest of defenses I can think of.
There were much better uses of Westfield tax dollars than building Grand Park.
