County Division, League of California Cities City Manager Koski stated there was some question about the Treasurer's report and proposed dues schedule for the Los Angeles County Division of the League. Councilman Atkins stated concern regarding the overhead of the Division office and felt that some savings could be realized. He does not object to their function, but rather to the costs incurred. Councilman Dennis stated in his opinion the City gets some benefit from membership in the Division. Councilman Tyrell stated he is not sure whether the county office really represents the smaller cities, however their operations should be questioned at that organization's meeting by our representatives. He felt the Council meeting is not the proper forum to discuss this matter. Councilman Gillanders felt the dues schedule was disproportionate and suggested the matter be continued to the City's budget discussion, to which the Council agreed. B. Councilman Tyrell directed Council's attention to some mail he received indicating that he has had control of the Council for many years. It was apparantly sent by a supporter of some candidates and his concern is that the election process in Temple City has gone below its usual integrity. Councilman Gillanders commented that there have been a number of things which have been done in this election which have degraded the entire election process and all candidates should be concerned. 12.
