Interesting agenda. Closed session, Sanchez Art Guild and Stephen Johnson leases. Guess we're going to subsidize the arts again, IN CLOSED SESSION! Look at the consent calendar. Why are we paying a consultant 55k to negotiate our garbage contract? Why doesn't the city require Recology to pay for all our expenses in their re-negotiation?

Questions that need to be asked:
2. market rents achieved?.
3. out of town studio holders pay 2 or 3X what resident studio holders pay. Why should pac taxpayers and laid off workers subsidize out of town folks?
4. full cost recovery at sancehz and steve johnson be discussed in front of the fiscal review committee. Stands to reason that if employees are gonna get laid off or furloughed, sanchez should pay its fair share after a public discussion.

Lance,
you forget the #1 axiom of this City Council and their supporters: taxpayers and homeowners subsidize city staff and their cheerleaders to place further burdens on the homeowners and taxpayers. Until the homeowners and taxpayers stop voting in people who work against their best interests, your questions are very insightful but ultimately moot.
P.S. is it any surprise that our "finance director" has basically given away the house to the unions, increasing employee salary and benefits during a time of a complete fiscal meltdown? Would it surprise anyone if Ann Ritzmaa got some cushy promotion in the near future??
Or that Julie Lancelle had to basically resort to unfair labor practices in an attempt to browbeat the unions into $865,000 of concessions, after the city already approved every blank check on the Consent Calendar for salary and benefit increases?
Like they say, follow the money . . . who has benefited in this town? The artists, the employees, the environmentalists . . . at whose expense? The taxpayers, the homeowners. Again, until that message gets through to voters (and it won't as long our group continues all this infighting and inaction) then Pacifica will most likely find itself out of money by June of next year.
But damn, we might have lights and benches on Palmetto!
