CITIZEN COMMENTS

Mayor Espinoza opened Citizen Comments at 6:04 p.m.

Katherine Schell-Rodriguez, P.O. Box 163, mentioned that it is unusual for the City Manager to have an evaluation two months after he was hired. She also mentioned that City employees are not as responsive as they used to be. One reason for that may be that all questions for the City Manager are now required to go through the Deputy City Clerk. Should that employee be out of the office on sick leave, there may be some significant delays in getting a response to a question.

Mayor Espinoza closed Citizen Comments at 6:08 p.m., as there were no further comments from the audience.
