Yvonne Davis is instead blaming city staff for the delays.
The city manager's memo details other areas of contention from Davis’s office, including involvement in the city’s procurement process."What we have to do as a city is make sure we stay above board," Bazaldua said.The memo says Davis’s office "was adamant about wanting a separate advertisement for these projects" rather than adding it to an existing request for qualifications.
