After 42 years in public service, Mark Muir is looking forward to finally retiring — but that doesn't mean he's going anywhere.Muir is Encinitas' all-time pension champion, pulling in $185,000 a year in his early retirement. But he's likely to be surpassed by City Manager Karen Brust and others as city worker pay rises at a far greater rate than inflation.
Muir, who spent seven years on the Encinitas City Council and 35 years with the city’s fire department, lost in his bid for a third term in November to opponent Jody Hubbard. In the first election for the newly-created District 3, which covers Cardiff, Muir earned 46.37 percent of votes, while Hubbard, a planning commissioner, garnered 53.63 percent.

Why hasn't the City Manager and Council terminated all staff that is still at PERS retirement rate of 2.7% @ 55 yrs. and replaced them with new staff at 2.0% @ 65 yrs.? It will save the city $$$,$$$,$$$.00
ReplyDeleteBecause they finally have "staff" all trained up nicely and aligned against residents. They have employees willing to do anything they ask. That's why.
ReplyDeleteNow Mark has more time to dress like Duck Dynasty with his motley crew, Stocks and Gaspar.
ReplyDeleteThis city bleeds red ink. Municipal pensions are out of control
ReplyDeleteYou can thank Jerome Stocks for Encinitas paying all the tax dollars to a few lucky City Slackers. Thanks for nothing drunk Stocks.
ReplyDeleteMuir and Houlihan were BY FAR the best council members we have ever had!!!
ReplyDeleteThe standard of "best" was determined by them? Starting at the bottom of the barrel is unusual.
