The Encinitas City Council will consider [sic] appointing Pamela W. Antil as its next city manager at its Sept. 9 city council meeting, according to a city news release. Antil became the top candidate after a nationwide search to replace Encinitas’ previous city manager, Karen Brust, who retired in June after nearly five years with the city. If the item is approved, Antil would begin on Oct. 12, 2020.
Antil has more than 25 years of experience directly managing and advising local government agencies across the country including small and large cities such as San Jose, Calif., Ann Arbor, Mich., and Palo Alto, Calif. Since 2015, she has been serving as the assistant city administrator for the city of Santa Barbara, Calif.
“We’re really excited to have Pam join our team,” said Mayor Catherine Blakespear. “Her experience in the city managers’ offices in Santa Barbara and Palo Alto, as well as other cities, gives her a depth of knowledge that will be invaluable here in Encinitas.”

Dysfunction at City Hall: How the City Manager Office Broke Down
Remember how Encinitas ran Gus Vina out of town after the backroom giveaway of the Little League field and the taxable bond fiasco? Those rubes in Brentwood didn't have a clue.
I had heard that for many years Santa Barbara was able to stave off the crazy growth that we have seen else where on account of their shortage of water. Recently, I heard that they have had to yield to high-density developers. If this city manager is part of that initiative--watch out! Considering who is making this final selection, I think that we need to investigate this further. Some have said that Blakespear never met a developer she didn't like--maybe because i heard her dad is a developer, too.
ReplyDelete"Had to yield?" Perfect fit for blakespear.
ReplyDeleteAlso Antil has never been a city manager, only assistant. blakespear anticipates with glee the molding of a yes woman.
And the salary is??? Probably a quarter million a year. Overpaid bureaucrats.
ReplyDeleteAs long as the new one isn't another America hating leftist, we have enough of those at City Hall now.
ReplyDeleteShe'll work "at the pleasure" of the mayor.
DeleteHere comes another lawsuit! Thanks Mayor Blakespear!

By reading the article, she will be perfect for Blakespeas fucked up web of continuing Encinitas run as the worse run City in the state. Drama- A Results - F.
ReplyDeleteMy big Question is can Marco lay some wood with the new City Manager, like he did with others ? :)
What a fucking mess.
Hey, polo-polo-polo.
DeleteI can't believe that we keep hiring people like this. People that are not coming from a stable job. First I would disqualify anyone coming from a California City. Look at this state and how it is run. That is what we are going to get from a city manager that has only worked in far left cities.
ReplyDelete7:31 How is taking bribes (legally) from developers and legislating accordingly "Leftist"? How is this any different than how Republicans act?
ReplyDeleteQUIT DIVERTING FROM LOCAL POLICIES BY BRINGING IN PARTISAN POLITICS, WHEN YOU DO THIS, IT LOOKS LIKE YOUR HIDDENING FROM THE REAL ISSUES THAT ARE FACING OUR COMMUNITY! OVERDEVELOPMENT, HOMELESS, STREET IMPROVEMENTS, PUBLIC SAFETY NEEDS, ETC...

I can think of 12 Encinitas residents that could run this city better than all the previous city managers. She'll do just as the mayor and staff tell her. Another worthless overpaid, over-pensioned, do nothing bureaucrat. What is her salary?? What are her benefits?? How much is she getting in a "moving expense"?
ReplyDelete• Receive an annual base salary of $250,000, car allowance of $500 per month, cell phone allowance of $100 per month, and an annual contribution of $15,000
Deleteto a 401a deferred compensation plan;
• Receive reimbursement for relocation assistance up to $12,000 and rental assistance up to five months not to exceed $25,000 with payback provisions should City Manager leave within a stated period;
• Receive the same health and benefits as other miscellaneous employees
A monkey could do this job.
