Azusa : Consulting Firm Dropped

The City Council, which hired the Los Angeles public relations firm of Braun & Co. 10 months ago to improve Azusa’s image and attract developers, has terminated the $4,000-a-month contract. City Administrator Lloyd Wood said the council decided that the service did not justify the expense. He said the city has no plans to hire another public relations consultant, but he may ask the council to consider hiring a staff information officer.
