LOS ANGELES - The financial fallout from the Michael Jackson memorial service continues, with Los Angeles city officials calling for reviews on who should pick up the tab for municipal services related to the event.

Councilman Dennis Zine said Friday he wants a report on how much the city spent on police overtime, sanitation and traffic control for the service, which was attended by some 17,000 fans at the Staples Center on Tuesday. Zine says promoter AEG Live or the Jackson family should foot the city's $1.4 million bill.

Meanwhile, Councilwoman Janice Hahn has called for an accounting on how much tourism revenue was generated by visitors coming for the service.
