Re-engaging,not retiring.
Look for it every month in People Newspapers
When the newCity Councilconvenes next
Wednesday, Delia Jassowill not have a seat at thehorseshoe for the first timein four years.
Just in case youve beenliving under a rock, a redis-tricting map that was sup-posed to increase the num-ber of Hispanic councilmembers actually did theopposite.
Jasso, who has repre-
sented District 1 since2009, and Scott Griggs,who was elected fromDistrict 3 in 2011, wereforced to run against eachother, and Griggs pre-vailed, thanks in large partto the disproportionateturnout among the mostly
white voters of KesslerPark, Stevens Park Estates,and Winnetka Heights.
Were going to miss
Delia. Even when some-thing we published upsether, she was still warmand friendly after she hadtime to calm down. Shewas always accessible andeasy to talk to, a quality notcommon among electedofficials.
Sure, shes been accusedof flip-flopping on issuessuch as the aforemen-tioned map or the Griggs-driven resolution in sup-port of same-sex marriage.But there were plenty ofways Delia showed con-sistency. For example, sheconsistently greeted me asDon. Oddly, she alwaysthought photographerChris McGathey, whosalso bald with a goatee,was named Dan.
All ribbing aside, Deliadid a lot of good for NorthOak Cliff during her timeon the council, as evi-denced by the photos onthis page. And since a pic-tures worth a thousandwords, Ill shut up now.
See you around, Darla.

COLD CASEBetween 6:30 and 9 a.m. on
June 12, a burglar broke into abackyard in the 400 block ofNorth Windomere Avenue,
causing $2,500 worth of damage,before stealing a freezer and anair-conditioning unit valued at
$100 apiece.
Stundins made thatstatement during the June6 meeting of the districtsboard of directors, whenone of the first items on theagenda involved extend-ing several deadlines forRick Garzas Davis Street
Market project. The itemsaid nothing about whenGarza could expect toreceive any funds.
Nonetheless, McDonaldand his attorney, MyronDornic, pressured theboard to insert an amend-ment st ipulating thatGarza would not get anymoney until after Stratfordgot paid.
Weve had some discus-sions with staff lately, andtheres some confusion
about the priority of theIncap master agreement,Dornic said, so as part ofthis item, I would appre-ciate it if the board would
clarify that this item ispaid after the Incap masteragreement is paid.
Ed Oakley, chairman ofthe TIF board, triedto explain that no onehas ever suggestedthat any developerwould receive fundsfrom the district
before Stratford. Theformer city council-
man also pointed outthat an amendment to thedistricts increment allo-cation policy i.e. therules for doling out money was coming up later onthe agenda.
But Dornic would havenone of it.
Id like it to be part ofthis [Davis Street Market]motion, because I thinkwhen this item originallywent through, there wassome confusing language
in the [City Council] mate-rials, Dornic said. Whenit goes through again, Iwant it to be very clear inthe council materials that
the Incap agreement haspriority.
At times, the conversa-tion was almost like Abbott
a n d C o s t e l l o sWhos on First?routine. Board mem-
be r Ka th y He wi ttasked, Where inh e r e d o e s i t say that hell be in fronto f yo u ? Do r n ic
replied, It doesntsay that in here, and thatswhy I want it to say that.Then, after a brief pause,during which Dornic pre-sumably replayed thewords he had just uttered,he added, I want it to saythat the Incap agreementwill be first.
If your heads not spin-ning yet, just wait. Garzahad no problem with therequest from McDonaldand Dornic; he said as
much through consultantLauren Montgomery, whoused the word we whenreferring to Davis StreetMarket. So when the board
finally conceded the pointand voted to add the Incapamendment to Garzasextension, he left the room.
Thats when Montgo-mery who was the plan-ning director for IncapFund before launchingher consulting business gathered her things,crossed the room, and tooka seat next to McDonald,
where she remained forthe rest of the meeting.
McDonald and Dornic,with support from Mont-gomery, eventually con-
vinced the board to delaya vote on the incrementallocation policy. That
vo te wi ll ha pp en af te rDornic works with citystaff on a draft more suit-able to Stratford, which isdeveloping The Canyon inOak Cliff, also known asSubdistrict A of the Davis
Garden TIF District.
