Most of the agenda at the May 21, 2013 City Council meeting was made up of Anne Forrest and her organizations either wanting more money, waiving of proper licenses, etc.
They voted to give one of the organizations, we think it was ACBA, another $6000 for last years centennial celebration. Don't they ever fundraise for themselves?
Would you believe that a City Council member Bert Sobon and Anne Forrest stated they went together to LAS VEGAS to a convention of shopping centers to draw one here in Angels Camp.
Did the City pay for that or did they pay their own way. Did they take other family members along. (it is Las Vegas, after all).
They actually admitted that Anne Forrest as the Executive Director of Destination Angels Camp, another City created organization she runs, went to Las Vegas and didn't handle setting up appointments with developers they had intended to meet with.
They both stated it was a learning opportunity. Shouldn't someone who knows what to do be going to conventions if the City taxpayers are paying?
Forrest also was up at the podium agains reporting on all the businesses she said were moving to Angels Camp. HUH?
She had a beauty parlor on the list. We happen to know this business simply moved within the City. Frankly, we don't believe our tax money should be going to someone's organization who isn't even aware or the difference between a move and a new business.
