The El Segundo City Council will select a new City Manager in May to replace current City Manager Greg Carpenter, who is retiring in June. It’s important for the Council to understand what the community wants and needs from the individual who will be leading the City of El Segundo employees. The Council is seeking assistance to answer questions like: • What are the important challenges facing the City of El Segundo and what skills are needed to address them? • What is the preferred method of interaction that you want the City Manager to have with the community and what are the important topics to communicate? • What qualities and traits do you believe are important for this person to possess? • What should this individual know about the El Segundo community? If you would like to participate in this community conversation, please plan on attending a Special City Council meeting scheduled for Wednesday, April 10, 2019 at 7 p.m. in the City Council Chamber of City Hall. – Source: City of El Segundo • Missing Networks Up North As a baby boomer I grew up with the three major television networks. Most millennials today would hardly know what those are and most of might not think we’d miss them if they were gone but, for DirecTV subscribers in the most northern parts of the California Coast that is exactly what happen recently. With eighteen months to go on our contract and with out any advance notice all subscribers to Direct TV on the Redwood Coast suddenly found themselves with out CBS or NBC. It’s been almost two months now and still not a peep from the folks at DirecTV (headquartered in El Segundo CA), as to what happen to two of the three major networks or what they intend to do to make us subscribers whole again. So if you’ve been thinking of leaving your cable company for DirecTV, I would suggest you think again. – Richard Salzman, Arcata CA • Letters Pizza, Pasta & More VALENTINO S Ample Seating Closed On Sundays!
