sanjosemerucrynews.com file photo: Santa Clara Mayor Lisa Gillmor seen speaking at an undated city council meeting is leading an audit on the San Francisco 49ers who provided some documents but not all regarding if they used general funds on Levis Stadium operations on Wednesday
As of yet it was reported that the San Francisco 49ers front office has not turned over any documents demonstrating they haven’t used any Santa Clara County general fund money to pay for stadium upkeep to paying for personnel. The Niners were supposed to have the itemized documentation ready last Monday as a result of not having those documents ready the City of Santa Clara hired an auditor to look at the 49ers records.
The 49ers were supposed to show in the audit that they weren’t using tax payer funds to fund the stadium operations and that was supposed to be the 49ers job. The city auditors found that city funds were being used for security measures and other stadium operations which was contractually forbidden when the city and the 49ers went on the stadium venture. The city says that they either get reimbursed and if the 49ers don’t reimburse them at cost then the city says they’ll take over stadium operations.
