The DOJ is Open to a Side Letter - We Need to Make Sure it has the Right Langauge

Last week we met with representatives from the Department of Justice.  Without making a firm commitment, the DOJ reps suggested that the DOJ might be open to a side letter which clarified some of the timing and economic points in the Consent Decree.   Our City Council is also open to the idea of a letter of clarification.

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THE SIDE LETTER COVERS THE FINANCIAL POINTS RAISED BY OUR CITY MANAGER.

HERE is a link to a proposed side letter that we feel addresses these concerns.  

PLEASE LET YOUR COUNCIL MEMBER KNOW THAT THEY MUST STAND FIRM AND NOT PASS THE CONSENT DECREE WITHOUT A SIDE LETTER THAT ADDRESSES THESE ISSUES.
