49ers, Santa Clara city council relationship remains a mess

The San Francisco 49ers and the city of Santa Clara continue to have problems. The latest involves an audit to consider whether public money has been improperly used for Levi’s Stadium operating costs. Santa Clara mayor Lisa Gillmor is claiming the team has refused to turn over certain documents for an on-going audit about game-day expenses and whether or not there is a violation of Measure J with regard to general fund money. She said this put the 49ers in breach, and if they did not cure that breach, the City Council would look to take back management of the stadium.
