Onl...14 staff members at the city council meeting <br /><br />Only 8 citizens at the meeting.<br /><br />People are not attending city council meetings nor are they watching on TV.<br /><br />I guess everyone was too busy watching Juan Pablo last night.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481238059942383326.post-1201589211020210132014-03-11T15:25:19.650-07:002014-03-11T15:25:19.650-07:00Well here's an idea council is trying to push ...Well here's an idea council is trying to push through. A 30 million dollar boondoggle. Let's go into further debt so council will have proper chambers and we'll have a library which nobody uses anymore. And let's build it on a prime piece of oceanfront property so no developer will touch it. That's the ticket.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481238059942383326.post-61660859383689025092014-03-11T14:12:05.894-07:002014-03-11T14:12:05.894-07:00The downward spiral continues.

Should we expect a daily journal of their sad activities soon?<br /><br />What would an economic development DIRECTOR-level person cost this city? You want to be a hero, Ms. Nihart? Hire one.

From Adobe to Oddstad it is even worse and city crews dumped a few buckets of tar and patched up the cracks and potholes. <br /><br />You can see where the pavement is just falling apart.<br /><br />$1 million dollars a year should have been used for city road maintence and that money was moved into the general fund to pay bills. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481238059942383326.post-67622838901478479692014-03-11T01:44:38.820-07:002014-03-11T01:44:38.820-07:00At city council, tonight and for several months, d...At city council, tonight and for several months, during citizen communications, Tod Schlesinger has challenged this city council to "do something big", and move forward with needed economic development.<br /><br />Late Summer/early Fall, the Economic Development Committee did send an important report to city council that was accepted, ignored (NO ACTION), and shelved along with so many other paid by citizens reports. Yes, in addition to city staff time, there was a paid consultant who offered the usual good research and advisement to this city. But, again NO ACTION.<br /><br />Tonight during city council communications, Mayor Nihart again mentioned that our council members sitting on county committees was paying off. Namely, that Linda Mar Boulevard would be paved through a county transportation grant. Well, we've driven this broken road for a few years, and the worst of it will be paved to Adobe Drive, halfway only back into the valley.<br /><br />Aren't YOU tired of this neglected city with its minimalist economy by now? The Mayor mentioned city staff had been cut by 20% last year. Is our city economic plan really maneuvering for handouts at county level, and continuing to cut city employees, while at the same time neglecting reasonable expectations of city services? <br /><br />There was the announcement of the city communications plan tonight at city council with the caveat, "we don't have the staff to implement it fully." Whereas, the preliminary conversation and goal of a communications plan has been going on for more than one year. Notwithstanding, who cares about a communications plan when the #1 ACTION PLAN goal in this city should be: real, substantial economic development.
