Now is the time to set minimum standards for a national search -- and a fairly balanced Search Committee -- for the next City Manager of our City of St. Augustine.
No more coronations. No more Caudillos. No more automatic selection of the next person in line on the "ladder." The next City Manager must have a documented history of accountability, creativity, responsiveness, listening to employees and citizens and learning from experience and "mistakes." What do you think?
In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!
