Sunnyvale’s New City Manager – SVBJ Interview

Posted on May 1, 2014 by Jim Griffith

As you may have heard, we voted 6-1 on Tuesday to hire Deanna Santana as our next city manager. I’m looking forward to her start on June 2nd.

The San Jose Business Journal just published an interview with Mrs. Santana that gives good insight into her philosophies and the approach that she intends to take in her new position. It’s worth reading.

“Santana served as the top administrative official in Oakland during the controversial eviction of Occupy protestors[sic]” Hmm. . . Considering that Occupy San Jose, Mountain View, and Palo Alto played nice and stayed out of Sunnyvale, I have my concerns. Also, Did anyone tell Sunnyvale DPS that she was Debra Figone’s deputy? SUNNYVALE EMPLOYEES: KISS YOUR PENSIONS GOODBYE! Sunnyvale residents: watch us collapse.

Great. Glad it’s someone who knows the region. I hope she’ll encourage all of you to take a regional approach, because our regional and national economies depend upon it.
