L.A. Memorial Coliseum Commission interim GM JOHN SANDBROOK was “singled out” on Thursday by L.A. County Superior Court Judge LUIS LAVIN, who said that the commission “appeared to have repeatedly violated the state’s open-meeting law during its months of closed-door deliberations on USC’s lease of the taxpayer-owned stadium." In “pointed language,” Lavin said that he was “prepared to issue an injunction against the commission that would restrict what it could discuss in secret sessions and require it to record all of its private meetings for three years.” However, Lavin said that he was “not inclined to void” the coliseum's lease with USC (L.A. TIMES, 10/4).
