@villaraigosa After gutting Street Services of nearly 40% of it’s staffing levels and now ERIP. Good Luck with that. Operation Pothole Scam

Deadwood, not the mayors finest moment.

  Maybe it was a tactic to make employees feel unwelcome or unappreciated, to demoralize the older workers,either way it worked.

Now with the ERIP in place and many of the city’s oldest and most experienced workers ready to leave, is the city ready ?

 Sure I agree with the mayor and all of us have seen that worker who has 40+ years on and does as much work as your pencil, but there are countless other employees who handle areas of expertise the city may not be so quick to part with.

 Claims Investigators, City Attorneys, Investigators, Management Analysts, Supervisors and Superintendents. Many of these people handle very complex issues dealing with civil liability, Airport operations, libraries,  personnel law and civil service regulations, emergency preparedness, and homeland security.

 Letting these people simply walk away will create a huge knowledge gap that if not properly prepared for could lead to civil judgments against the city, security gaps, and violations of law.

 It is important to remember many civilians hold high ranking vital positions in the LAPD and LAFD, proper training is essential for there replacements, these workers and there importance to the city should not be overlooked.

 Council should take a long hard look at this process and make certain that the knowledge and skill they posses will be transferred as much as possible to there replacement, although there is no substitute for experience.

To those workers who care, and have dedicated there life to a prosperous career with the City of LA, Thank You for all you have done.

Pay close attention to state budget issues, removal of gas tax revenue from LA city could cost 100′s of city jobs. http://twitpic.com/bboyh
