STAFF REPORT
The Hawaiian Gardens City Council called a surprise special meeting for tonight with only two items on the agenda, one to approve newly appointed Mayor Myra Maravilla’s appointments and the other to fire the City’s current law firm Alvarez-Glasman and Colvin.
Sources are telling HMG-LCCN that another law firm has been chosen and will be revealed at a later time.
The November City Council election saw three new council persons elected with incumbent Marianna Rios surprisingly losing in a close race.
Long-time councilman and former mayor Reynaldo “Rey” Rodriguez retired, and the acerbic Barry Bruce decided not to run.
