you appear to be a micromanager.   you have to faith in the people doing the work, you seem to think all they have are evil intentions wanting to stick it to the people.  this kind of attitude is "small kine thinking".  believe hart and the city is trying to do their best but mistakes happen, dumb decisions are made but these are part of the process.  if they are not doing a good job you change the people.  you cannot think that these people are in it only to enrich themselves.
