Elen Asatryan’s Unethical Pay-to-Play Timeline with evidence

Jun 1 2023: Elen introduces Erik Khojoyan, a restaurant owner, to Glendale’s Director of Community Services

Jun 14 2023: Khojoyan tours the Glendale Civic Auditorium as its management contract is set to expire.

Jun 28 2023: Elen holds a campaign fundraiser at Khojoyan’s restaurant, and he makes an in-kind donation of $4800.

Dec 5 2023: Glendale City Manager asks for an official meeting with Khojoyan and city staff.

Jan 2024: The first official meeting occurs between Khojoyan and Glendale city staff.

May 2024 to Nov 2024: Mayor Elen presides over SIX closed-door contract negotiations, and her hand-picked city representative negotiator is friendly with her donor.

Dec 3 2024: Mayor Elen schedules a vote at a 3pm Special City Council meeting rather than at the usual 6pm General Countil meeting. Instead of recusing herself, she casts the deciding vote in a 3-2 decision to advance the Civic Auditorium contract as an exclusive negotiating agreement with her donor.

Glendale City Attorney Mike Garcia erroneously clears Elen Asatryan of any conflict of interest by saying that the vote took place 17 months after the campaign donation. However, both city and state laws define a proceeding as “pending” or else reasonably expected to come up before City Council at the moment the proceeding was initiated, which would be the Jan 2024 meeting with the City Manager.
