FAIRFIELD-SUISUN, CALIFORNIA The City Council terminated its contracts with the Fairfield Main Street Association, Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2021. (Robinson Kuntz/Daily Republic) City breaks contractual ties with Fairfield Main Street Association FAIRFIELD The City Council on Tuesday voted to sever its relationship with the Fairfield Main Street Association. “We’ve got to do better with our downtown . . . I am ready to move in a different direction,” Councilwoman Pam Bertani said. Connie Ng, owner of CruiseOne Travel, Robert Levine, owner of B&K Tax Service, and attorney Brian Tubis, the current Main Street board president, spoke in favor of approving an agreement with the association. ....
Print Facing the possibility of a six-hour or longer meeting to interview a record number of applicants, the Oceanside City Council decided last week to change a policy it adopted a year ago to bring “transparency” to the political appointment process. Thirty-six people initially applied to be appointed to the two years remaining in the District 1 council seat left vacant by the election of Mayor Esther Sanchez. One person has since withdrawn. The interviews and a possible selection are set for Jan. 27. Instead of all 35 applicants, the council voted 3-1 last week to interview only the top five picks of each council member.

Also, they will shorten each interview to five minutes instead of 10. ....

The City Council has until Feb. 10 to appoint somebody or it must designate a special citywide election, though an election appears unlikely. The earliest the vacancy could go on a ballot is November, at an estimated cost of $250,000 to taxpayers, and the winner would have less than a year in office. Seldom does an open council seat attract so many applicants, though until recently the process was less formal. About a year ago, the council adopted a policy for how vacancies in elected positions are advertised, the requirements for applications, the procedures and time limits for interviews, and more. ....
Never in most of our personal histories have we ever been so glad to say goodbye to one year and hello to the next. All the world’s challenges, increased and expanded by the coronavirus, have conspired to make 2020 a time to forget. Now, as we approach the year’s end, it is tempting to do that and wax eloquently about the prospects for 2021. The effects of the pandemic will extend into next year, however, and that means our rosy prognostications about the future must be tempered with the realities of the present. We, as a city, had burdens enough before the arrival of the virus. Issues including affordable housing, street repairs, homeless services, and public safety were challenges enough without a pandemic. Then, the complications of face-masking, hand-washing, and, most significant for local businesses, social distancing restrained us physically and challenged us politically and philosophically. In the absence of consensus, multiple attitudes and actions often conflicte ....
