CLAREMONT: The city, which invested nearly $5.4 million in the Orange County investment fund that has lost $1.5 billion in value, is considering the impact of Orange County’s decision to file for federal bankruptcy protection. City Manager Glenn D. Southard said he will attend a meeting today for managers of cities with investments in the fund. But he said he expects Claremont will recover most of its investment. City Atty. Wynne S. Furth said Claremont is not at immediate financial risk from the bankruptcy declaration because the city does not use that money for its operating expenses.

PASADENA: World Cup USA ’94 still owes Pasadena more than $200,000 for services it provided in staging the soccer games in June and July, according to city officials. World Cup is disputing several city bills, but primarily is objecting to a $157,000 charge for having Pasadena Police Lt. Roger Kelley spend 18 months planning security for the games at the Rose Bowl, said David Jacobs, Rose Bowl interim director. City officials say the costs were in the security contract signed before the games and they expect to recover the money. Officials added they aren’t the only ones waiting for payment: the World Cup still owes the U.S. Department of Defense $14 million for security.
