Note: The Mayor did not vote for the increase !
Neither did Councilmember Watanabe.
“Approval of Amendment No. 1 to Employment Agreement with City Attorney Glen Googins; Adoption of a Resolution Updating the Unclassified Salary Plan for Position of City Attorney.”
Funny how this happens after Measure “I” was passed.
Expect more squandering of the $400 Million…..
Point taken. Yes, regardless of how well intentioned some public ‘servants’ might be when taxpayer’s money is involved it’s ‘free money’. And others, without benefit of good intentions, are already spending it. It isn’t government money, it is our money. Respect it.
Aren’t raises assigned based on performance??? What are the things that Mr. Googins has accomplished in his short time as city attorney so we can understand why anyone thinks he needs a pay increase????
What has Glen Googins done to deserve an increase. Yes, it is not a merit increase, but what has he done for us? He has ignored the 49er violations and them committing the city to potential large losses, but what has he done for us? Maybe I missed it, and maybe he should ask the 49ers for a raise. JMHO.
