PUBLIC COMMENTS Mr. Fred Cordova, Colton, pointed to recent news coverage regarding the debt owed by the City of Colton. He reasoned that the City of Colton owns its own utilities, and the debt owed is to its utilities. He wondered why the debt is not forgiven and stop scaring the citizens. He noted that corporations can allow subsidiary corporations to go into debt. The corporations will often forgive the debt, refund it and it can start with a clean slate. City Attorney Biggs said she would investigate internal loans and report to the City Council. Mayor Fulp said he will place this item on the agenda for the first meeting in March.
