Hisam Baqai is listed on Urban Logic Consultant Invoices, but when Baqai spoke at the Council Meeting he denied working for Urban Logic and declared that he has worked for the City of Beaumont for years. The Motion was continued, but is not on the January 6th Agenda.

Below is an email from Wildan dated November 11, 2014 agreeing to hire Hisam Baqai as an Independent Contractor to work in the City of Beaumont. A Public Records Request will show if Hisam Baqai has received any money through Wildan.

Subject: Hisam Baqai

Kyle, we have been in negotiations with Mr. Baqai and unless we hear something to the contrary will hire him as an Independent Contractor for Willdan to provide some services to the City of Beaumont. The detail have not been fully worked out yet, but the main focus will be the effort for the sewage treatment plant.
