Pacifica Tribune/Jane Northrop, Staff Writer, 2/24/15.  "City staff and council set goals."

Among the main goals, "Maintain fiscal sustainability -- finish the general plan update, work on economic development, hire an economic development manager, hear small business issues, create a business plan for Palmetto Avenue, complete the Palmetto Avenue streetscape and the Beach Boulevard development with a new library, establish a 10 percent reserve fund and an emergency reserve fund, work with the Chamber of Commerce to increase tourism, enhance grant opportunities."

From public comments.  "Tom Clifford said he thought the planning department and economic development department should work together often." And, "have a planning subcommittee work on affordable housing," he suggested."   Read article.

Note comment from Tom Clifford not covered in the Tribune article:  "I also suggested that the Planning Commission and the Economic Development Committee form a joint sub-committee on how Planning & E.D.C. can ease the way for new business to get started and old businesses to grow." (From the comment section of this article, 2/26/15, 4:44 p.m.). Thanks Tom!

Let's see what the forensic accountant learns about the unaccounted for $4 million.

How about world peace and ending hunger? We actually paid for someone to come from Oregon to lead this session? How'd we do on last year's goals? Just recycle them and save a bundle on the consultant and staff OT/loss of productivity. Will the bleating about a new library ever end? Is the library crowd being strung along for political reasons or does the CM and some council members have a library up their sleeves? Here's a goal for ya--what was the 4 million spent on? Disgusting bunch of wankers.
