He indicated this is the culmination of the first step in creating the Dunbar Cultural District. He also addressed his concern with Council and double standards. He noted the inconsistencies that prevailed when we were a small town. He believes Mr. Becerra honored all his agreements when renting the property. The City made a "hand shake" deal with the previous owner versus a written agreement, and this was done for some groups and not others. The City should create processes and procedures that are consistent across all groups. These double standards should not exist in the City.
