Fresno politicians were wined and dined at receptions for Ivanka Trump when the TV personality’s father was trying to consummate a deal with the city for Running Horse golf course last year.

Mayor Alan Autry and other city officials listed the receptions as gifts in economic-interest statements recently filed with the city.

City Council Member Mike Dages attended one of the Trump receptions, but he didn't disclose it on his statement. State law says gifts of $50 or more must be reported, but Dages says he only had hors d'oeuvres and didn't think they cost that much.

Still, Dages said he will check with City Attorney Jim Sanchez about whether he should disclose the event, and he'll amend his form if needed

Fresno developer DeWayne Zinkin and Fresno businessman Bob Smittcamp paid the costs of the July receptions with representatives of the Trump Organization.

Autry valued the two dinners and receptions he attended at $135. Other Fresno officials also listed as gifts their attendance at one or both of the receptions, including Deputy Mayor Jeff Eben; City Council members Henry T. Perea, Brian Calhoun, and Jerry Duncan; City Manager Andy Souza and City Clerk Rebecca Klisch.

Eben, Perea, Dages and Duncan are all competing to replace Autry as mayor. Calhoun is running against Fresno County Supervisor Susan Anderson and accountant Paul Dictos for the Second District supervisor seat.

The city offered to help Donald Trump buy part of the land needed to finish the golf course in southwest Fresno, but the deal fell apart in December.
