Like the optimism. Good luck John. Lead us out of this economic wasteland!

I just looked at the City's website, Assistant City Manager Vina, Hanneman, Jennings, and Interim Assistant City Manager Bisharat are off the City's payroll. Dangberg is still around? Regardless, it is looking promising with the new City Manager.

When will we see slashing of FTEs in the City Manager's Office? Every Dept., but the CEO has suffered. Cutting top salaries saves the most money! New City Manager now is the time to prove your mettle.

Wow, very little unknown in the City Auditor's three audit reports in 1.5 years. I think the consultants reports yield much better results. Ha Ha on the Mayor;s math. Three reports in 1.5 years do not equal one audit report a month.

IZ, I agree. Except the consultant reports we only see nominal results from the City Auditor, . Did the City Auditor ever get a performance review by the City Council? If so, why were the results never announced?
