The Orange County Board of Supervisors is set to allocate $50,000 to enhance the Orange County Tourism Council’s website, with options to renew the one-year contract for two more years.
The contract raised the eyebrows of OC Weekly’s R. Scott Moxley. The tourism council includes politically connected officials from Disneyland, corporate lobbying firms and resort hotels, according to Moxley.
Santa Ana City Council members are scheduled to meet for a special closed session Monday to discuss labor negotiations. The city is facing a projected $30-million budget deficit and was down to about $300,000 in the bank with no reserves as of Sept. 30. It is largely recognized that city solvency hinges on negotiations with the city’s public safety unions.
