Is CBH the Potential Legal Issue Behind Closed Doors?

The City Council has retreated behind closed doors in the recent past. Each time the Mayor announces the issue to be discussed is possible pending lawsuit against the city.

There has been no indication of who the Party is or what the Issue is.

Now are we to assume it is CBH trying to collect for work that the city feels it has already paid for, or was not under the obligation of the city to pay for? By hiding behind closed doors and trying to save the "Embarrassment" caused by disclosing the sloppy Management of Steve Berry and Tom Schwab in their dealings with CBH will the City Council bend over and pay off CBH for items and work the City is not Contractually Obligated to pay?

Given the recent Senior Center Furniture drama there may be sufficient reason to air out these bills and CBH's Claims. All of the sudden CBH was willing to keep the used furniture and drop the related charges off of their claims against the city. That will be a loss of at least 70,000.00 to CBH as the used furniture market is not very good.

So what else have they billed the City for that is out of the contract specifications. What have they done without proper authorities and process. IF Steve Berry acted as an individual and they violated the terms of the contractual process for making or getting authorizations for changes, try Steve Berry's pockets not those of the City of Grand Terrace.

The hint came from CBH... they "desire to maintain a relationship with the city". Well CBH go a head take the City to Court... run the risk of continued relationship and management of the Villa's. Get a judgement that will refund the lease you are paying on the property... what was that a buck a year for 60 years. Go right back in to Judge Wade's Court and tell him how messed up the Development and Management Plans are after you said how wonderful it was in the same court.

Could it be that you don't care what the Center Furniture Looks Like now that you have the apartments nearly all rented. Will you be closing other aspects of "Services" to the Senior Residents? You know those adds that said near by shopping, and public transportation were lies. Remember you said that the 20 percent of the Seniors who move in will not have cars. Yet you refused to provide transportation, and continued to push for the off the RTA route and away from the GT Retail area. You and Schwab and later Berry, entrapped the residents. Many of which are looking to leave as soon as their lease is up.

CBH you ran face into a block wall and bloodied yourself when you removed the Furniture. Now City of GT you need to be open with the flaws in the contract and don't pay off just to save face. We can't afford to save face of the City or Berry or Schwab... Shame is Shame... stop hiding behind closed doors. The ONLY way to get to the real truth of this is to allow it to be resolved in public. Stop the back room dealing.
