Hemet faces backlash over controversial no bid contract
During a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding Hemet's approach to attracting new businesses, particularly in light of a no-bid contract awarded to an outside company, City Net. Critics questioned how such practices could foster a welcoming environment for potential businesses.

The contract, which encompasses case management services and provisions for motel rooms and meal vouchers, has drawn scrutiny due to its cost structure. Reports indicate that motel accommodations are priced at $92 per night, alongside additional expenses for repairs and a 10% administration fee.

Community members expressed their dissatisfaction, emphasizing that these expenditures should not be linked to Measure View, which is primarily focused on public safety. The discussions highlighted a growing concern about transparency and the implications of such contracts on the city's economic development efforts.
