Good morning Lauren,
Please forward this email to the mayor and council members.
I am writing concerning item 16 of the City Council Agenda for February 7, 2023.
This item was presented and discussed during my term on council. I did not agree to starting this investigation
while an ongoing FBI investigation was being conducted. That being said, for the benefit of the public and my
council colleagues and understanding the scope would be limited, I supported this process.
JL Group's bid for this investigation was for 6 months and $750,000. My council colleagues and I selected JL
Group based on their presentation and bid. When we accept bids for services from any other company, they are
held to the amount they agreed to in their contract. Requesting double the cost and time is unreasonable.
In the interest of transparency, I support presenting the facts of the investigation to date to the public. Once we
know what has been "discovered" then we can determine what additional time and cost is necessary, if needed.
Thank you for considering my perspective.
In gratitude,
Gloria Sahagun Ma'ae
