| City Attorney Francisco Leal Presented For Council Approval A Seemingly No-Bid Contract For His Lobbying Firm September 8, 2004 By WatchOurCity.com Huntington Park- During city council meeting on 9-07-04 City Attorney Francisco Leal presented for council to "Approve Agreement for Lobbying Services by and between the City of Huntington Park and Legislative Advocacy Group, Inc", a firm owned by Leal. Council members approved the seemingly no-bid contract for Lobbying services with Leal's lobbying firm. The contract amount was not listed on the meeting agenda. Leal's lobbying firm currently has a "$60,000 contract with the City of Commerce to provide lobbying services for the city on card club and gaming issues" (Wave Newspapers 9-8-04). Councilman Ric Loya was opposed to the City Attorney contract (also no-bid) and a Noguez initiative for a card club at Leonardo's night Club. Leal was a campaign donor to Noguez and Hernandez.
