Closed Public Communication Councilman Robbins responded to Mr. Dannens comments: I, too, have a copy of the subject letter. All of Mr. Dannens allegations were false when he stated them in the past and they remain false today. It is unfortunate that the City Clerk sent an incomplete set of information and disclosure statements along with Scot Dannens accusations to the County District Attorney's office. I spoke with Deputy District Attorney Carol Straughn this afternoon. She is the author of the letter that Mr. Dannen referred to. She acknowledged to me that she was not aware of E1 Segundo Municipal Code 2.9.10, Section E, which allows the cost of a fund raiser to be subtracted from the gross receipts before applying the $1000.00 campaign contribution limit. In addition she acknowledged the possibility of an arithmetic error. Upon examination of her calculations an arithmetic error was indeed discovered. She subtracted itemized contributions in amendments from the total amount of campaign contributions rather than from the amount of non - itemized contributions which was a much smaller number. After making these two corrections it became clear that I owe nothing to the City of El Segundo as Mr. Dannen has claimed. For those of you who may have the letter which Mr. Dannen was very happily passing out here in the Council Chambers you can look and see that the amount of $1757.00 should have been subtracted from $1980.00 not from $2346.62. This correct subtraction results in $223.00 which is City Council Minutes February 16, 1993 - 7:00 P.M. 2 less than cost of the campaign fund raiser. In addition reading from the Deputy District Attorney's letter, " "The term "anonymous contribution" is not defined in the California Political Reform Act or in the E1 Segundo Municipal Code. The term as commonly understood by the Fair Political Practices Commission refers to monies received for which there is no clue or information as to the source or identity of the contributor, " ". In my case, my only true anonymous contributions was small change amounts that children contributed at a game booth at a fair which I used as a fund raiser. Reading back from the letter again " "The E1 Segundo Municipal Code is somewhat confusing on this issue, as it requires that a list of all amounts, names and addresses, of "anonymous," as opposed to "non - reported," contributors be maintained by the candidate "" anyways, in the last sentence which is the only part that's correct which Mr. Dannen stated. The letter states "We therefore consider this case closed." and it is closed. Finally I would like to state that as you know I have served the voters and tax payers with diligence and integrity and I have not let you down, I certainly will not in the future as other Councilmembers have.
