The city has tons of high paid GIS people and the city just got their hundred thousand dollar report taht says the city had underfunded streets maintenance. Ask the city to give you a map of the streets in bad shape.

Except in Encinitas the council was warned to stop drinking the cool-aid and they blew off the community and went on a drinking binge. Drive around coastal Encinitas to see how bad the roads are. The city’s own report says they have been underfunding road repair. The council admits it needs a million bucks to fix beacons.

Are the roads and beach access in Encinitas such a mess? I think not (If you want bad roads, drive in the City of San Diego.) That said, the pension obligation is problematic, but the problem is wide-spread at all levels from social security on down to tiny Encinitas. Virtually every government entity is suffering because we all drank the cool aid of guaranteed double digit returns and ever escalating property values. Could our leaders have made better decisions, absolutely (especially easy to answer in hindsight). This is a serious issue, but this piece is just another vocal minority pre-election hit piece on Dalager and Gaspar.

This is a very serious article. This hidden debt obligation negates any future projects that do not guarantee a huge revenue stream. The pension debt is unbelievable. This makes the Hall Sports Park project look positively foolish. We basically have a city with a $172,467,502 long term debt and $9,601,583 in cash reserves.
If either Gaspar or Dalager are elected and push through another lease revenue bond (which does not require voter approval) that would just be gross negligence. I hope that the people who are paying attention are the ones who are voting. If Gaspar is elected I hope she grows and develops a mind of her own, and doesn’t depend on her endorser Jerome Stocks to do her thinking.

This is the legacy of $tocks, Bond and Dalager. On November 10th, they will approve the rezoning of the Pacific View School site and deliver it over to the developers. Gone forever will be the golden opportunity for the community to acquire an absolutely unique piece of coastal property for municipal use. This property is within walking distance to Moonlight Beach and adjacent to the coast – one of a kind. Instead of a public park or community use facilities, it will become another ugly mess like the Pacific Station eyesore downtown.. This is the continuing legacy of the trio of thieves – $tocks, Bond and Dalager.

They all need to go!

City of Encinitas Salary and 2009 Compensation Listings
http://lgcr.sco.ca.gov/CompensationDetail.aspx
Please visit this link that was put up by the state (Encinitas would not share this 411) to see how nearly every employee has been able to greatly exceed and even double their "maximum salary" – not exactly sound fiscal management by our mayor.
