This is the only reason that such an ineffective person would be kept on. Guillen is "running" one of the smallest cities in the area but is by far the most highly paid of the regions city managers. McCloud is always crying about how poor the city is but pays this most incompetent uncreative of men, who Seaside and Monterey wouldn't hire as a city manager, more than other cities pay their much better city managers. If he had been an independent self starter, he'd never have been hired by McCloud.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24019952.post-19097541891628689472008-12-31T15:17:00.000-08:002008-12-31T15:17:00.000-08:00The fact that the mayor failed to prevail in the c...The fact that the mayor failed to prevail in the city council over her neibhor, the Forest and Beach Department and the Forest and Beach Commission seems to show that she sometimes doesn't get her way. Hopefully it is an indication that the mayor will get what she wants rubber stamped less often now. Perhaps it was a bit of payback from city councilors for McCloud,s trying to run roughshod over them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24019952.post-69016498878656283502008-12-31T15:04:00.000-08:002008-12-31T15:04:00.000-08:00Mayor McCloud has consistently undermined the Loca...Mayor McCloud has consistently undermined the Local Coastal Plan whenever she could. Further, she does not like Carmel's forest (something she has stated publicly) and is starving the Forest and Beach Department so trees on city property cannot be replaced when they fall or are taken down. It is also impossible to ensure private property owners don't violate the laws governing trees for the same reasonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24019952.post-62116032760786462242008-12-31T11:53:00.000-08:002008-12-31T11:53:00.000-08:00Happy New Year.

The years of media making our government accountable to Americans is long gone. It is beyond sad for carmel that most carmel residents have no idea what is really going on in this small microworld of carmel-by-the-sea and the people who know are too busy making excuses to keep the perferential treatment they get from playing along with the mayor and her cronies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24019952.post-67225227599891275842008-12-31T11:41:00.000-08:002008-12-31T11:41:00.000-08:00Here, here.

Money is routinely spent on consultants who are then ignored.
