Over the last several years, Inner Arbor Trust/Symphony Woods and CA's relationship with that organization/park has repeatedly been a source of contention. Lawsuits, a lack of financial audits, conflicts of interest, seemingly endless grants, relation/cooperation with other downtown non-profits... Its just non-stop drama with IAT. This level of attention is totally out of proportion with the importance of one 36 acre park compared to everything else CA is responsible for - and this speaks poorly of the leadership of CA's board and IAT.

Regarding your lawsuits comment. The posted 990s reveal legal fees (and if I recall correctly business consulting) as a percentage of the total budget (excluding depreciation) for recent years posted. It was frankly a little surprising to me the proportional amount.

The CA Board and (I think) IAT has taken an overly confrontational and litigious approach towards resolving conflict over the last few years. Its unhealthy for the community.
