Owners of The Forum concert venue issued a sharp rebuke to the Inglewood City Council for its sudden decision Thursday to negotiate a new basketball arena with the Los Angeles Clippers.
A scathing letter from an attorney representing the owners was delivered Thursday morning, when council members met and approved the deal in a special meeting. It complained negotiations were made “without a shred of public notice or public process.”
Inglewood City Hall publicly noticed the meeting’s agenda, listing the proposed state-of-the-art arena on a 20-acre site just south of the NFL stadium, the day before.
Council members then swiftly approved the item Thursday morning.
