The non-governmental organizations (NGOs) likely will not be saved, except for Pacifica Resource Center.

City position restructuring -- A financial services manager, an accountant and an economic development coordinator will be created out of two staff vacancies and one retiree in finance. This will have the effect of strengthening the finance department and enhancing code enforcement services, Tinfow said. The police department adds a permanent part-time community services officer paid for by a state grant." Read article.

More ponzi type schemes from city council. Pretty soon the gravy charity train will de-rail.
Way to go city council.
If you've seen one Pacifica City Council, you've seen them all.
What is the job description of the economic development coordinator position being added to the budget? The article seems to link it to code enforcement. A coordinator is a paper shuffler. Does staff have too much paper to shuffle? This town needs something a tad more powerful. But it sure sounds nice, doesn't it?
317, big surprise, from an easy internet search, here's one career background description of "Economic Development Coordinator": paper shuffler. Not what you'd expect for the job description of a real "Economic Development Director".
Some of us remember that city council said they would hire an "Economic Development Director". An effective Economic Development Director focused on city economic development is what's needed.
Oh Kathy, just stick a fork in that one. Well done.
Just a matter of time til we gotta have a Super-Shuffler. That's someone to coordinate all those other coordinators. You know it's going to happen with Council rubbing up against that unguarded 5.7 million dollars in sewer reserve funds. Bet they're giddy with anticipation. I know I am.
505, oh you're right, "stick a fork in it, the solution, economic development. The paper shuffler, Economic Development Coordinator link, posted above at 458 didn't work, try again.
At city council 5/14/14, Councilmember Stone brought-up two new restaurants bouncing on the revolving top 27 revenue list. Imagine, restaurants in Pacifica are among the big tax revenue money makers. Overwhelming, isn't it?
Kathy, don't forget our other economic juggernaut--gas stations.
Happy for all those entrepreneurs, they deserve medals, but what a sad commentary on Pacifica's economic future. Sadder still that it came from one of our supposed pro-growth councilmembers. What a joke!
