Tasa retiring already? Not in any way a personal criticism, but I wonder how much that promotion to chief added to his retirement? And how much interim service would add?
Wondering more about hiring an Assistant City Manager. Highly paid position. The city has cut staff over the years. Was an option to hire two staff to get work done considered?
I do not believe that the interim services add anything to his retirement. The item I find interesting is the creation of an assistant City Manager position.
727 When do we get a new HR Director and real Finance Director? The royal court has some empty chairs.
Hmmm, are you sure about that Tom? If his pension is based on his final year's earnings which would include payout of unused whatever time, then
that number could "spike" sharply if he also serves as interim chief and leaves late in 2014. That unused time payout can be hefty.
Oh my. Fireworks on this agenda. And dogs. Bumping up the payroll isn't nearly as entertaining.
The position I would like to see created is Director of Economic Development.
Tom, if this council really wanted one, they'd already have one. I doubt their commitment to revenue-producing development. Besides, a good EDD would shake things up and we can't have that.

My thoughts exactly!
So much for the big deal about goal setting.
One of these days, people will wake up and realize what a complete and utter failure our city councils past and present are.

6,000 Housing Units Under Construction In San Francisco, Another 44,000 Units In The Pipeline
While fewer than 2,000 new housing units and 140,000 square feet of commercial space in San Francisco was completed in 2013, there were roughly 6,000 housing units and 2.8 million square feet of commercial space under construction at the end of the year, units which will hit the market over the next year or two.
Permits for another 6,600 housing units to be built in San Francisco have either been approved or requested, units which should start hitting the market in two to four years along with another 4 million square feet of commercial space.
In addition to the nearly 12,600 housing units which are either under construction, ready to break ground or awaiting a permit, another 27,300 units have been approved to be built across the city. The approved projects, however, include 10,500 units by Candlestick, 7,800 units on Treasure Island and 5,680 units in Park-Merced, projects which still have overall timelines measured in decades, not years.
And with proposed plans for an additional 10,500 housing units under the Planning Department’s review, San Francisco's Housing Pipeline currently totals over 50,000 units. For context, a total of roughly 12,000 housing units have been built in San Francisco since 2007, a total of 26,000 new units since 2000.
With respect to commercial development in San Francisco, in addition to the nearly 6.6 million square feet under construction, ready to break ground or awaiting a permit, another 5.9 million square feet of commercial development has been approved and plans for an additional 3.5 million square feet are being reviewed.

And did you notice in the Trib last week City set prioreties and the new library is third on the list. Third! With all our problems they make spending 30 mill on a library the 3rd most important.
I can't wait to hear the sales pitch
from Council for that state-of-the-art library we just gotta have. In the time honored Pacifica tradition it will be an 'enjoy now and somebody else will pay later' deal. It's no accident that the new CM oversaw the fundraising and construction of a new library in Walnut Creek. Gee, can't our more ambitious councilmembers just put their names on a brick somewhere, take a photo, and call it progress? Remember folks, it's all about communication--another item on the CM's resume.
