In addition the estate and AEG will pay $300,00 for crime fighting equipment, as a make-good for the memorial expenses.

City officials determined $1.3 mil will cover the costs of police services, permits, Sanitation Department and Transportation Department expenses incurred for the memorial.

So, all costs are covered so people can't whine about that anymore when he comes back. The actors can be paid their fees with the rest of the $ 300,000. Interesting they agreed on this now...

Maybe I'm reaching but found this interesting...


From the "Unite fore Children" website...

Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS)
UNICEF assists countries in collecting and analyzing data in order to fill data gaps for monitoring the situation of children and women through its international household survey initiative the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS).

Since the mid-1990s, the MICS has enabled many countries to produce statistically sound and internationally comparable estimates of a range of indicators in the areas of health, education, child protection and HIV/AIDS. MICS findings have been used extensively as a basis for policy decisions and programme interventions, and for the purpose of influencing public opinion on the situation of children and women around the world. To learn more about MICS, watch our videos.

Results from MICS4 surveys, carried out in 2009-2011, will become available from 2010 onwards. MICS4 data will allow countries to better monitor progress toward national goals and global commitments, including twenty of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) as the target year 2015 approaches.

Background

MICS1 - The MICS was originally developed in response to the World Summit for Children to measure progress towards an internationally agreed set of mid-decade goals. The first round of MICS was conducted around 1995 in more than 60 countries.

MICS2 - A second round of surveys was conducted in 2000 (around 65 surveys), and resulted in an increasing wealth of data to monitor the situation of children and women. For the first time it was possible to monitor trends in many indicators and set baselines for other indicators.

MICS3 - The third round of MICS, which was carried out in over 50 countries in 2005-06, has been an important data source for monitoring the Millennium Development Goals with 21 MDG indicators collected through MICS3 (particularly indicators related to health, education and mortality). MICS3 was also a monitoring tool for other international goals including the World Fit for Children, the UNGASS targets on HIV/AIDS and the Abuja targets for malaria.

Survey tools

The MICS survey tools are developed by UNICEF after consultations with relevant experts from various UN organizations as well as with interagency monitoring groups. UNICEF works closely with other household survey programmes, in particular the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) programme, to harmonize survey questions and modules and to ensure a coordinated approach to survey implementation, with the objective to provide comparability across surveys and to avoid duplication of efforts. The survey questionnaires are modular tools that can be adapted to the needs of the country.

Implementation and capacity building

MICS surveys are typically carried out by government organizations, with the support and assistance of UNICEF and other partners. Technical assistance and training for the surveys is provided through a series of regional workshops where experts from developing countries are trained on various aspects of MICS (questionnaire content, sampling and survey implementation, data processing, data quality and data analysis, and report writing and dissemination).

Survey results

Results from MICS, including national reports and micro level datasets, are widely disseminated after completion of the surveys and can be downloaded from the MICS pages on childinfo.org.

Increasing periodicity in MICS4

Starting with MICS4, UNICEF now provides assistance to countries at more frequent intervals - every three years instead of every five years. This provides the opportunity for countries to capture rapid changes in key indicators, particularly the MDGs.

Hope this isn't a stupid question....but why would AEG be on the hook for any of these expenses anyway? I can see the Estate doing this as a measure of goodwill, but for all intents and purposes, as far as the general public is concerned, and as of the date of the Memorial, AEG was simply the backer of the This Is It Concert Series and the owner of the Staples Center, am I right? Why would they be liable or responsible in any way for expenses incurred by the city from Michael Jackson's Memorial?

Please forgive me in advance if I'm overlooking the obvious answer here!

******************************************************************************************************
Well, that's still up for speculation as I've read in more than one place that Murray never signed a contract with AEG or was paid a dime for his services....but that being said, let's just say AEG did provide his doctor and of course, they were the backers of the concert run...remember at that point, July 7, 2009, there wasn't even talk of a movie called This Is It yet....but this is my whole point! AEG should ostensibly have had no other connection to the Memorial and its expenses....so for them to come out now and pony up the dough along side the Estate shows me that the two entities have been tied at the hip for some time now....simply because AEG was behind the show that ultimately "killed" MJ, as that would be a matter of conjecture, it would not, in my opinion, make them liable for these Memorial expenses....I don't know....that's just what jumps out at me...but on the other hand, I do believe in The Hoax....all of these thoughts I've written would only really be relevant if MJ was indeed murdered...if so, it makes AEG and the Estate Executors look like they are culpable somehow....but since I believe in The Hoax, this must all be part of The Plan somehow....right? I do think that having these expenses paid by anyone other that the city of L.A. will go far with goodwill once the BAM occurs...once it comes out that MJ is alive, if L.A. had had to eat those expenses, MJ would have been raked over the coals for it!

mjfansince4 · June 2010

doesn't it seem like loose ends are being tied up? when he comes back people are going to complain and attack him for stupid things they don't see are already taken care of. that's when it's our turn to stand up.

i'm ready for the BAM and for the ride after. i'll be here michael.

Yeah you make some good points. It's hard to know fact from fiction at this point...for all we know things like this could be completely made up. I can't wait until the truth is out... no matter what it is...

Yes seems that the end of the ARG part is near but the real fight has not begun. Be prepared Army of Love to be part of History.

Datroot · June 2010

I saw a video where Randy Phillips categorically denied having anything to do with hiring Murray. He said MJ insisted on him being hired. AEG wanted to hire an English doctor.
