2/27/94

The Press Enterprise:  Jordan Park article:
 
The Press-Enterprise, February 27, 1994:
 

 

            "The park was bought with money from a fund other than the one authorized by the City Council.  Then-Finance Director Ann Marie Gallant used what is known as Quimby fund money, whose use was inappropriate, Assistant City Manager Gene Rogers wrote recently in response to concerns raised by the parks committee.
 
            "A city ordinance required that any expenditure of more than $15,000 from any account be authorized by the City Council.  Tapping the Quimby money for the $719,000 to buy the park would have required council approval.
 
            "Had general-fund money been used, as the City Council directed, the Quimby fund would have an additional $719,000 for park facilities, said Baird, the parks committee chairman."
