Better headline: “City of Palo Alto Managers Continue to Jump Ship after Appointment of Ed Shikada as City Manager.”

reality check,
“City of Palo Alto Managers Continue to Jump Ship after Appointment of Ed Shikada as City Manager.”
This could be a good thing given the recent survey of growing dissatisfaction with the City which reflects Keene's work.
This is yet another person taking credit for the pets in need resolution, sheesh how many chiefs, assistants and assistants to the assistants did it take to work on that?
Transitions are not easy but they could be opportunities which hopefully in this case will be used for the benefit of residents and not the same ole same ole.

As long as we don’t farm out the whole thing to logistics company / defense contractor (as we did with RPP) or to a dark star data sifting unicorn / defense contractor (as we did for....who knows what?).
This is creeping towards feudalism (systematic undermining of public sector) or worse.

Just curious-- What type of pension/benefit package does Mr. DeGeus depart with after 19 years of service in PA?

Thank you, Rob. is a registered user.
It has been a pleasure working with you as a citizen volunteer, Rob. Your positive attitude, civil and warm demeanor, and caring and thoughtful problem-solving will be missed--along with all of the historical knowledge of our fair city that is tucked away in your brain.
I'm sad to see you go...but wishing you the very best in your next endeavors. 19 years. Wow. Time flies.
Best wishes!
