<br />Please send to the RPU Board Members and upload to ecomment. It was too large to <br />include on line. Thank you. (I am within the two hour window) <br />LastOctober, you raised issues concerning the appointment of City representatives on <br />the Gage canal board. At that meeting, staff strongly pushed back on council members <br />actually participating in those meetings. During a subsequent special subcommittee <br />meeting, other objections were raised including the fact that your attendance would <br />trigger the Brown Act or that the meetings were "boring" and didn't involve issues <br />important to the general public. <br />On Friday, both the City and Gage were sued. I haven't read the complaint, and I am not <br />a party to that lawsuit. However, as a ratepayer and taxpayer, I will be forced to pay for <br />what could be costly litigation and potential damages. <br />My understanding is that this controversy partly surrounds the City's ownership and <br />voting of <br />Gage shares owned by the City and whether, by voting its shares, the City effectively <br />controls Gage. <br />As a resident, I would like to know the following: <br />1.What is the legal "status" of RPU staff who sit on the Gage board? Are they <br />shareholders of Gage and hence defended by Gage's insurance or do Riverside residents <br />have to pay their attorney fees? <br /> <br />
