Public Comments:
Jay Lindberg, San Bernardino, CA.
Sr. Assistant City Attorney Wilson stated that the City Attorney's office did not
sign the resolution for the project because the process, once the grant has been
procured, includes a substantial management element such as community
involvement, administering the dollars, entering into the contracts, and making
sure the relationships are properly structured under the law. He stated that
