City Manager Chris Brady In The Spotlight: MesaCity Council Meeting - 8/29/2016

The final agenda for this regular meeting was featured in a post here on August 26, 2016

Notice how quickly Items on the Consent Agenda get passed . . . about 5 minutes
City Manager Chris Brady starts off with nervous giggles about 6:00 even though his updates were scheduled as the last item.
Salvatore Reza is the first to speak about the long-standing issues with Mesa Royale Trailer Park : issues of long-standing violations [25 years] that were ignored by the city or conveniently overlooked until a questionable complaint - possibly fake - came out of City Hall from "a neighbor" not identified in Mr. Brady's comments. Any questions - and they were frequently asked - about back-handed dealings and undisclosed business and/or family connections inside City Hall that might have been for personal gains - were not addressed either.
Residents alleged actions by the property were "racist'
The only thing new was revealing city negotiations for an extension of code compliance problems with the new owner, identified as 644 Main Street LLC, an out-of-state corporation registered with the Arizona Corporation Commission. No real estate or financing details were provided, although it became know that Jerry Lewis, friend of the mayor and others in city government, "had a hand" in the dealings as the registered agent for the Gene Hamm Family Trust who sold the property.
Any remedies Mesa Royale residents might have if they have to move were referred by Chris Brady to other entities other than the City of Mesa.
