On the city consent calendar for CC meeting Dec. 16, 2020 - increases in city staff salaries and 2 new additional city manager related positions. Apparently, the city manager, Pamela Antil, has found that her job is too difficult with only one assistant city manager, Mark Delin. She now wants another new assistant city manager position established to help her. She also wants a reclassification to city deputy manager position approved. How much will this cost the taxpayers? Top tier base salary for Pamela is $250,000, new assistant city manager top tier base salary is $207,172, and reclassified position to city deputy manager position is $199,799. Add approximately 25% of the total for benefits gives a total of $821,465 for 3 city managers. Mark Delin's current salary/benefits (calsalaries) is listed as $241,751. More than a million dollars for 4 city managers if these changes are approved. What happened to one (1) city manager and perhaps one (1) assistant manager (Mark Delin). The current Human Resources manager is also getting a promotion to Director (with salary increase?). Don't expect potholes to be fixed when taxpayers foot the salaries of 4 city managers.
I wonder if they are going to bring up the guy that wants to fuck dogs?

ReplyDeleteEncinitas is a big city now. To pay for this will take more development. Is this what the residents expect or is less better?
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't Blakespear just hire a city manager who had actually been one - not a lifetime assistant CM. Two will cost more than doing it right the first time.
ReplyDeleteAnswer: an experienced one wouldn't provide Blakespear the yes-man performance she demands.
Grifters the lot of them.
ReplyDeleteThey make this kind of money???? What the hell hell do I live in?
ReplyDeleteThat's insanity. Do they have a 401K where the city provides incentives/matching funds? Apparently I'm in the wrong business.
This is nonsense
Any council votes tonight not 5-0?
ReplyDeleteI mean, even if he managed to win—which—not in a million years. He’d only be one vote, and couldn’t do anything anyway.
ReplyDeleteBetter to quit and not even try.
Just keep surfing.

Encinitas Announces Graffiti Competition
Following the success of the I-5 underpass murals at Santa Fe Drive and Encinitas Boulevard, the city of Encinitas has announced a graffiti competition. The competition is part of the city’s public art initiative.
Only graffiti artistry displayed on public property surfaces will be considered in the competition. They are available throughout the city.
For example, the city cited the surface shown above. It’s near the corner of North Coast Highway 101 and Phoebe Street and close to the Leucadia post office. The front and back are eligible as individual surfaces.
Only the first and sole graffiti on any public surface will be accepted in the competition. Defacing done following the original graffiti will disqualify it. Spot graffiti are discouraged. The more of the surface the artist uses, the better the chances of winning the competition.
Judges will look for originality of concept and design, and quality of execution. The city cited Banksy’s and Keith Haring’s graffiti as outstanding examples.
Winners will be announced in January 2021.

It’s Official: The Votes and the Mandate Are In
The San Diego County Registrar of Voters has counted all the votes cast in the November 3, 2020 election and posted the results.
I beat Julie Thunder by 10%. Tony Kranz beat Alex Riley by 11.7%, and Kellie Hinze beat Susan Turney by a whopping 23.3%. Measure H, which lets four pot shops open in Encinitas, passed by 2.3%.
To be honest — you know I’m always honest — I’m surprised by the comfortable margins. The four council members and I inflicted so much pain across the breadth of the city that I thought the three eligible positions were in danger.
Of course, I see our triumphs as a clear mandate. I assure residents who didn’t vote for us, who opposed us at council meetings and who slammed us on local social media that we will not only continue to ignore you, but we will actively pursue policies that are opposite your wishes.
For those who don’t agree that my victory is a mandate, witness my unanimous election as the upcoming chairwoman of SANDAG. If I didn’t think I deserved it, I would find the board’s gushing praise embarrassing. The position will let me impose my power countywide, at least regarding transportation.
Encinitas residents can look forward to my doubling down on the agenda I’ve been pursuing since my first election as mayor in 2016. Some specifics: More and denser development, abusive land use, bigger population, fewer and narrower traffic lanes, more and wider bike lanes, more bollards, letting the state tie my hands, fewer and longer council meetings, inviting more homeless to our city, killing Prop A dead as a doornail, fully funding and building Streetscape, pursuing an ineffective climate action plan, suing residents who organize to oppose me, and packing the commissions and staff with acolytes.
I’ll soon start my third term as your mayor. My policies and I will become so firmly entrenched that we will be very hard to undo. I only wish I didn’t have to run for reelection every two years. That’s really a pain. With so many voters on my side, maybe the majority will pass a measure to make the mayor’s term four years.
For those who are stressed by my secure position in seats of power, I suggest sampling the wares I will offer in my soon-to-open Encinitas pot shop.

ReplyDeleteSweden's king has said his country "failed" to save lives with its relatively relaxed approach to the coronavirus pandemic.
ReplyDeleteSweden, which has never imposed a full lockdown, has seen nearly 350,000 cases and more than 7,800 deaths - a lot more than its Scandinavian neighbours.
Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said he agreed with the king's remarks.
"Of course the fact that so many have died can't be considered as anything other than a failure," Mr Lofven told reporters.
I will be the first to admit I was wrong. We should all wear masks, and be on a partial lockdown until the vaccine is widely available. The federal government has failed us, and should be cutting checks directly to workers to keep them at home so they aren't forced to work to pay bills.

Deleteyou need to stay inside for the next 10 years. COVID is evolving just like the flue and the vacine will only be effective for this one specific strain. There are millions more strains out there that will get you. And.....
COVID-20 was just found in NZ killing hundreds of people over 90 with underlying health conditions. This is really serious.
Stay inside. We will tell you what year it's safe to go out and talk with people.
For the rest of us that enjoy facts.
DeleteUS death per 100k including underlying conditions 94
Sweden death per 100k including underlying conditions 74
Oh, our CNN plan is really good. I love how all the developed countries with massive testing have hire rates but the poor countries have much lower rates.
The data shows 1. CORONA does not like rich people. 2. Its more healthy to be poor.
Facts are facts!!

You let the hogs loose at the trough and they go to town stuffing themselves. The City Manager is unqualified if she needs so many assistants. Blakespear's reelection was a mistake - this city has too many overpaid do-nothing administrators.
ReplyDeleteBlakespear surrounds herself with yes people and "professional staff," to distance herself from responsibility for anything. She calls that "courage."
DeleteSpeaking of hogs loose Blakespear's stack n PAC mega housing plans seem to have Gonzalez as project attorney on more than a few.
Deleteclaims he's doing it for the greater good. no $$$$$$$ involved. who's buying?
DeleteOK so what is with Lisa Shaffer popping up all over the freaking place? Like Barth she wants desperately to be relevant.
ReplyDeleteMy money's on Blakespear appointing her to a temp fill-in term for Hubbard who may need a break. Any takers??
Blakespear should appoint Thunder to Hubbard's seat. After all, Thunder lives in Cardiff.
ReplyDeleteHere are my predictions:
DeleteJim Wang
Shaffer
Barth
Any developer-biased ex or current planning commissioners

DeleteThe worst time has passed”However, it is true that there are more improvements than before...because of the rising numbers of people living with HIV in the state of Nevada. How could they stigmatize all of them? Therefore everything becomes a little easier and we start to share everything... We also started to invite and visit each other in a community. You know, it is six years since I started taking antiretroviral drugs...Yet whatever problems I face, the worst time has passedWhen I was evicted from the family home by my mother, my father rented a small room for me. But my mother and brothers believed that having HIV was my own fault – and that I deserved to be punished...I also considered myself unworthy and without hope... But I have a child and eventually I convinced myself to live for my child’s sake.
ReplyDeleteMy mother knew nothing [about HIV]. She didn’t understand anything. Do you know why? She didn’t have [the chance] to go out of the house and communicate with society. However, my father does interact with the community. I know his friends are mature and dignified africa america. So he has a better understanding than her.My father came call me on a sadfull day sitting on my couch about a friend of his from africa who introduce him to Dr Itua Herbal Center in africa in which he advise we should purchase his herbal medicine to cure my hiv so we did and Dr Itua prescribed I should drink the herbal medicine for two weeks to cure although we were so curious about the whole thing ,I finished the herbal medicine like he advised then he talked to me to visit my nearest clinic for check up I did and now I'm totally cured from Hiv my father was my rock and I and my family are now happy together also Dr Itua has be helpful in my community ever since he cure my Hiv so why I'm leaving my story on here today is to reach out someone out here to hope on God and never give up no matter the situation you that you are facing especially through this pandemic seasons which has really taught us all on how we should be helpful to each other and cherish one another.Dr Itua cures the following diseases.....
