Listen as Jerry Lochner explains why he violated the city donation policy. 1-22-13 He says they(meaning himself) made an EXCEPTION TO THEIR RULES, and personally approved the placement of the Loremeier granite bench at the West Side Recreation park, WITHOUT CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL BEFORE THE PLACEMENT, AND SKIRTING THE DONATION POLICY COMPLETELY. This is where Greg Kimman learned the antics of operating below the board from. He witnessed this type of behavior, as he attended meetings in excess of 3 years, learning the ropes. Jerry Lochner taught Greg Kimman that he too, would be able to skirt the city laws, just by acting on whatever he felt appropriate. This is why the Lindbergh Lions Christmas display and signs were allowed, illegally by city staff. Because they(or he, Greg Kimman) knew he could get by with it. That even though the policy was violated, that the council would "go along to get along" and approve it, after the fact. This city council continues to operate in a "lawless fashion" and city employees need far more supervision and oversight. If they violate city policy, there should be a consequence of some sort, or they will continue in their "below the board" dealings.
