John Drayman's history of legal troubles

National Fire claims Drayman owes the company $98,000 plus interest of 10% per year starting in November 2010. Drayman said he's paid National Fire about $117,000, but then stopped payments due to the permit debacle and disagreements over who was responsible and how much was owed..

In April 2011, National Fire filed a mechanic's lien against Drayman's property for about $98,000. In July, it filed a lawsuit to foreclose on his condo.

Drayman said National Fire has no legal standing because the lien was filed after state-imposed deadlines expired.

Mediation and settlement conferences are scheduled for June. If those are unsuccessful, the case will likely head to a jury trial in July.

Failed reelection bid

In April 2011, Drayman's permit issues and involvement with an ADI subcontractor were aired during the campaign. He narrowly lost reelection, coming in third place behind Councilman Dave Weaver by 61 votes.

Embezzlement allegations

In May 2011, police began an investigation into embezzlement allegations brought against Drayman by the Montrose Shopping Park Assn., a business improvement district on Honolulu Avenue. Drayman helped established and run the association's Harvest Market on Sundays.
