The well-heeled cities have taken the unprecedented step of loaning city leaders to assist Bell until they get a city staff.
Ruben Vives reports:
"Beverly Hills is expected to provide Bell with an information technology analyst who will help update the city's computer system and a management analyst to help draw up new city policies.
San Mateo, Calif., more than 300 miles to the north, has already sent a human resource director to help and in the coming days a temporary city clerk is expected to parachute into Bell."
