The case against the Imperial Beach City Council

The government decided that an election was inconvenient and decided to appoint a long time crony to fill an elected position.  Did this happen in  Chicago, New York, Iran?  No, it happened in Imperial Beach.

The Imperial Beach City Council placed ads in today’s local papers seeking applicants for the seat due to the death of Councilman Fred McLean.   That was according to the law. No applications were accepted and then they appoint the old time crony Diane Rose a former Major of Imperial Beach all without any notice.

Spend $58K to demolish a building because you never advertised it for lease?

Here is video of an exchange between City Manager Brown  and Mayor Janney where the City manager may have just told a little to much truth.  The City of Imperial Beach is going to spend $58,000 dollars in the middle of a recession to tear down a building ( FORMER NORTH ISLAND CREDIT UNION PROPERTY) that the city let deteriorate.  Then they use the excuse that they must tear the building down because no one wanted to lease the building.  Wow that was convenient.  they did vote to pass this item.  Mayor Janney, Bragg, McCoy and Rose voting YES and King voting NO.

The only problem was that they never
bothered to advertise that it was for lease.

I think that something has already been decided.  The public just doesn’t know what it is quite yet.  I wonder what crony of the city council will get  a nice demolished lot to build their brand new shiny building on?  Only time will tell.
