LAID BARE: Proof Summers, Bullock & Butler Lied About $150M of City Owned Assets and the Subsidium Engagement
Posted: Fri Sep 29, 2017 9:54 am
Throughout 2015 through today, Summers. Bullock and Butler have steadfastly claimed that:
1. The City did not own the financial and other assets of Lakewood Hospital.
2. Subsidium was engaged on behalf of LHA, not the City.
3. The "Select Committee" was an LHA committee and the City had nothing to do with it.
But we now have conclusive evidence (below) in Summers' own hand:
1. "The assets, both real and financial, of Lakewood Hospital are owned by the City of Lakewood." ($150 million)
2. The City of Lakewood formed the Select Committee--a committee that Summers led and Bullock was a key member of which recommended giving the City Assets to CCF for free.
3. Subsidium was engaged on behalf of the City.
So, Summers, Bullock and Butler have all been caught is another round of huge lies and they keep on lying, and lying and lying....

Mr. Essi:
In Nos. 146, 147 and 148 of your March 15, 2016 public records request, you ask for:
“All records, notes, and communications – electronic or otherwise – that that reflect a contractual relationship with the consulting firm Subsidium and the City of Lakewood.”
“All records, notes, and communications – electronic or otherwise – that reflect a confidential or non-disclosure relationship with the consulting firm Subsidium and the City of Lakewood.”
and
“All records, notes, and communications – electronic or otherwise – relating to any authorization by any City of Lakewood employee or official for Subsidium to represent itself as acting on behalf of the City of Lakewood with respect to the Lakewood Hospital or its programs and services or assets.”
There are no records in our possession that are responsive to this request. The city did not have a contractual, non-disclosure or agency relationship with Subsidium. Thus, this completes our response to Nos. 146, 147 and 148 of your request.
Best wishes,

In No. 154 of your March 15, 2016 public records request, you ask for “All records authorizing Subsidium to issue the Preliminary Memorandum on behalf of the City of Lakewood to any party.”
The city has no responsive records. Subsidium did not issue a document called “Preliminary Memorandum” on behalf of the city. Subsidium represented the Lakewood Hospital Association, not the city, in its work.
Thus, this completes our response to No. 154 of your request.
