0o0

0o0

0o0

0o0

Mr. Dewey stated it would be a food-service agreement.
0o0
Council Member Carrizales asked if point of sales would benefit the City of Rialto should Everytable obtain a large contract with the Rialto Unified School District in which thousands of meals per week are prepared. 0o0

0o0
