Pacifica Tribune/Jane Northrop, 12/11/12. "City Council hires consultant to draft economic development plan."
 |
| Economic development this time? |
.... The work is expected to take five months and cost $34,900. The money will be paid out of the general fund, but not by creating an additional expenditure from the general fund. The motor pool replacement fund will not be used this year to be able to pay for the project. The City Council has identified this project as a priority.
Members of the
screening committee included Mayor Pro Tem Len Stone, Councilmember Sue
Digre, Economic Development Committee Members Mary Brown and Victor
Spano, Planning Director George White and City Manager Steve Rhodes.

We'll be saying good bye to Steve Rhodes just about when this latest consultant is ready to report. He's definitely earned his retirement. Hope Council lines up a strong replacement for City Manager. Someone with some real development experience would be so nice to have around. Council, this is not a time for butt kissers or those at the beginning or end of their careers. Get a good one and don't take all next year to do it!
kick that can kick that can kick that can.
Ritzma is rumored to be the next city manager.
He's definitely earned his retirement.
Yeah, spent the reserves, held illegal closed session meetings, blew the police outsourcing process,glad to see him go.
City council can make it happen. Ya click your glass slippers together.
Ritzma as City Manager??????
She'd hire Lurch to run PBR.
The only people who want Rhodes out are disgruntled hippies.
Anon 1134...Who is "Lurch"? (other than the one on the TV show)?
Ninnies! Steve Rhodes didn't spend the reserves, hold secret meetings, or blow the police outsourcing deal...that was Council. Rhodes reports to them and carries out their wishes or he perishes. You can blame individual councilmembers and their undying dedication to their own political ambitions, their enormous egos and various neuroses for avoiding important decisions and kicking that can down the road. And, some councilmembers have much more influence than others behind the scenes. It's Council and not any City Manager who calls the shots. If Ritzma schemes and manipulates her way into the job, and she has laid the groundwork well, I'd say Council will get exactly what it deserves. Her skills as a soulless manipulator exceed those of any councilmember. And, she's smarter and emotionally much tougher than those wimps. Good for Pacifica? Compared to what?
was there a 7 police car chase in Pacifica? wonder why I had to read about it on patch!
The Adams family butler.
Spend a little time with Ritzma and you'll swear that you just slipped into an episode of Dark Shadows.
It's that drone of hers that's almost unnerving. What's that woman on? I swear council is on psych meds. They share with Ritzma.
Mary Ann has them all under a voodoo spell
HooDoo that VooDoo? Well, at least it's not lobotomies.
how many times has Pacifica hired an economic development consultant?? and how has that worked for us?
consultants love us. they know we're run by fools and poseurs with a city check book.

You haven't been paying attention.
