NO! And they don’t return phone calls either

Baja Fresh has other problems; limited parking and the closure of Haggen’s are impacting its success.

Let’s just hope two of her “buddies” are no longer council members come next election.

I am glad someone else saw her smirking. She is pretty damn arrogant this early into her employment and there is good reason.

She is buddy buddy with Guthrie, Barneich and Harmon. She knows they will not vote to remove her.

Tonight on Congalton Tim Brown kept repeating “we have spent to much money for her to fail, she has to succeed”. Talk about throwing good money after bad.

I would rather get rid of her now instead of waiting to see IF she gets better. She does not have the experience to run a full service city, yet she is paid almost as much as Steve Adams.

I think council should have told the head hunter NONE of the applicants are worthy of the position and asked what it was going to take for this city to get someone competent. I think the council dropped the ball and the citizens should be pretty damn upset about that.

or lack of performance…..

I was at the last city council meeting, John Mack got up and told the council and city manager that he has been trying for awhile to schedule a meeting with the city manager and she has apparently been too busy to arrange it, and she just sat there with a strange smirk on her face. Now I know she is not supposed to say anything during public comment but come on, at least act as though you have some life and a backbone instead of just a strange expression. Too this point she has given us no reason to support her, and it may be time for the council to schedule a “Closed Session” to discuss her performance.

Does staff EVER answer the phone at city hall?

The Brisco on/off ramps and underpass are used by more than just AG residents. agag1 is right, input from anyone who drives thru that area should feel free to comment.

well stated. thank you.

You hit it agag1

The awakened citizens have asked ot be heard. It is not a small group. That small group was a majority.

thank you for reminding us of the tyranny that existed in AG.

Perhaps SLO County can rid itself of Adam Hill now!

The Council and Mayor are elected. They hire the City Manager who runs the city on their behalf.

Got it!

Do not think for a second that Ferrara was not running the show in AG. He was running the show and more. Telling property owners what they could do with their land, working with developers on the side and cutting back door deals for personnel transgressions.

This Council needs some serious leadership training starting with meeting protocols and courtesy. The City Manager needs to show us her stuff now instead of just “listening”. It is time to act.

Where are you Mr. McFall? The city manager needs a life coach!

It is the holidays and one always talks about the holy trinity – Adams – Ferrera & Carmel.

It’s time for McClish to go. The City will not move forward with the lack of trust heading a major department and the new City Manager needing her so much.

C’mon AG. Do what needs to move forward and get this show on the road.
Honestly, we’ve been talking Briscoe for decades!

It seems that if the Council always votes to have something on the agenda, they are defacto breaking the Brown Act by not allowing public comment on that vote. Why the heck do they vote to put something on the agenda?

The MAYOR and MAYOR PRO TEM should be meeting bi monthly with the CITY MANAGER to set the agenda. Of course the City Manager should have a draft of time sensitive items and know the queue.

However, the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem should have some say on timing, load of the meeting and where things are placed. Some meetings are unnecessarily packed and make the issue rushed thru!

The CITY MANAGER and STAFF work for the COUNCIL. We all know that! So do it Mayor Hill!

Much to his great credit, Council member Tim Brown has been thoughtfully response in trying to set matters right. Brown was critically forth coming in revealing the intransigence of the Adams situation as well as being critical of certain council members — Harmon and Barniech — on prematurely judging Planning Commission member John Mack before the FPPC judgment establishing Mack had no conflict of Interest on a developer project.

Brown has forced the issue as to the procedure on establishing the Council meeting agendas. In the old, Ferrara was a force because of his power over Adams. Most observers believed this was the policy that the Mayor had a major say in the setting the Council meeting agandas — as is done in most Cities. Tim Brown has guts and is reseponsibly attuned to the citizens concerns.

Mayor Jim Hill has a great heart and a sincere sense of citizen’s concerns. The fact that he understands the issues confronting the city and has no political agenda except to do the right thing is a rare virtue in politics these days. He should be forgiven for this by those who wish for a more insidius attribute.
