The San Marino City Council is recruiting for a City Manager, and has selected the firm of CPS- HR to conduct the search. As part of the recruitment process the City is seeking input from the community, and has developed an online survey in both English and Mandarin. “It’s important for the City Council to know what qualities our citizens believe a City Manager must possess to best serve the interests of our city and our community. What we hear will bear heavily in our selection process,” San Marino Mayor Richard Sun said. Appointed by the San Marino City Council, the City Manager is the Chief Executive Officer of the City, overseeing the operations of all the City’s departments. The City Manager is responsible for planning, directing, and managing all activities and operations of the City, ensuring that all public services are delivered in the most efficient and effective manner. The City Manager also implements policy decisions made by the City Council and facilitates the development and implementation of City goals and objectives. The City of San Marino utilizes a council manager system of local government. Five Council Members are elected in November of odd calendar years, serving four- year terms. The City Council has taken steps to consolidate its elections with statewide elections and will be moving to even year elections in 2022. The five Council Members serve without any financial compensation, and each year the City Council elects one member to serve as mayor. The City’s 2016-2017 adopted budget reflects general fund revenues of $26.6 million and expenditures of $25.3 million (which includes $900,000 in capital expenses). The salary range for City Manager is $180,000 to $200,000, with the starting rate dependent on qualifications. Additionally, the City offers a $600 monthly car allowance and a $200 monthly technology Allowance. The survey can be found at ci.san-marino.ca.us.

The veterans really enjoy home- made cookies, and we hope you already have your best cookie recipe planned. But donations of local bakery and pre-packaged cookies are also welcome and we always need sugar free cookies. “Operation Cookie” delivers decorative containers of cookies to Veteran’s Hospitals, to the Wounded Warriors Battalion at Camp Pendleton, to Military Women in Need, the Foundation for Women Warriors, and to other groups serving special needs veterans. We remember our homeless veterans as well. Your support is more important than ever for the increasing number of veterans who we will remember with your cookies. You may deliver your cookies (minimum of two dozen) to the Clubhouse at 1424 Fremont Avenue between the hours of 7:00 am and 11:30 am, Wednesday, May 24th. Alternate drop off time is the evening before (4pm–7 pm). Convenient curbside service is available both days. We also hope you will be able to volunteer some time with us helping on the cookie “assembly line,” or packing the cookie boxes in cartons, or helping transport cookies to the various hospital and veterans groups. Financial support is also welcome. For information or to volunteer: call or text 213- 300-9305 / Email: spwc1899@ aol.com.

San Marino Recognizing and Honoring Those Who Serve The City of San Marino wishes to honor community members who are actively serving in the U.S. Armed Forces or attending a military academy by displaying a personalized street banner in recognition of their service. The banners will be on display in the center of town from early September through early/mid-November. The banners will then be presented to each honoree (or a family member) at a special Thanksgiving Breakfast in November. Banners will be offered at no cost to the serviceperson or his/ her family. It is the City’s hope that this project can be funded entirely through donations. In order to qualify, honorees must meet two general guidelines: First, the honoree must be on active duty with any branch of the the U.S. Armed Forces (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard or National Guard) or be attending a military service academy. Second, the honoree must be a current or former San Marino resident, or live in the San Marino Unified School District boundary, or be a high school graduate of either San Marino High School or Southwestern Academy. To apply for the program, complete the application at ci.san-marino.ca.us/ DocumentCenter/View/3170 and submit before July 10.
