This is not the Call Log, Crime Report but Actual Arrests

Well here is the Commentary:
This City Council Meeting Agenda suggests an attempt to hold back any and all topics or issues that may be opportunity for certain Council Members embarrass themselves by making known their position on the topics and issues.
*
In a past meeting the City Manager detailed the Agenda Making Process said that HE had control over what is on the Agenda as he approves the Agenda to make sure the "STAFF" is prepared.
*
Council Member Miller's Requests to put items on the Agenda...
IGNORED
Citizen Request to put items on the Agenda....
IGNORED
*
This IGNORANCE is NOTED, and its Perpetuation Apparently Serves the Political Advantage of Council Member Ferre, Council Member Garcia, Council Member Cortes.
THIS is WHY YOU SHOULD SIGN THE RECALL PETITIONS AND WORK TO RECALL & REPLACE & REFORM THE CITY COUNCIL IN GRAND TERRACE.
