ROLL CALL Present Councdmembers Patrrcio S Miranda, Rosemary M

CLOSED SESSION At 5 30 p m , Council convened in Closed Session
RECESS At 5 42 p m , Council recessed to Open Session in the Council
Chambers
MICHAEL Michael Montgomery, attorney for Valley Vista Services,
MONTGOMERY explained his belief that the reason his client David M Perez
who is the Operations Manager of the Recycling Center in the
City of Industry, was late to the pre -submission conference is
not relevant since the meeting was not specified as mandatory
in the bid packet and there was no indication in the bid packet
of penalties for not attending the conference However, he
continued to explain that a serious injury accident occurred at
10 00 a m , at the recycling center requiring Mr Perez to stay
at the scene until it was taken care of He indicated that the
conference began at 1 00 p m and Mr Perez arrived at 3 00
p m He further stated his contention that since the bid packet
was accepted it was apparently done correctly, and if his client
did not comply with a certain requirement, he would have been
notified Mr Montgomery continued to advise that he received
a letter from the City Attorney s office offering to return the
packet, however, he indicated his preference that the packet
and the cashiers check not be returned He also stated that
any problem that was caused by Mr Perez s lateness was
cured since the bid packet and check were submitted properly
and accepted
Michael Montgomery continued to express his opinion that the
purpose of receiving contracts is to receive the best
arrangement for the business community and stated his belief
that no purpose would be served by excluding his client s bid
He also stated that if Valley Vista submitted the best overall
proposal, including the lowest bid then that would be the best
for the business community Further, he said that he would like
to avoid a disqualification on a technicality for the purpose of
benefiting one or more of the other bidders on a pre-bid basis,
since that would not be proper and may lead to personal
