Food for thoughts: I've lived in Mountain View since 2002, and Lisa is the 4th City Clerk for this job. This means we have 3 retired city clerks on pension and 1 working. That's 4 people on the payroll for 1 person actually working. Can we as CA residents afford this?

Why is she already a "former" employee of Sunnyvale. And it is NOT CORRECT that there are 3 Council appointees under the City Charter (not counting the Rental Housing Committee). There is a 4th but the position is never filled by anyone who reports directly to the Council. Can anyone guess the title of this ghost of a position? The last poster was on the right track. You could cheat and peak at the Charter.

Okay. Go ahead and look at SECTION 710 OF THE MOUNTAIN VIEW CITY CHARTER.

I wonder where else in the country an office clerk of only 16 years can pocket 130K + Benefits? Can someone explain why we can't pay our teachers more?

You would want to ask that 4th City Council appointee under City Charter section 710.

Across the country, there are relatively few City Clerks (a high skilled job with very specific knowledge requirements) compared to tens of thousands of teachers. Simple economics.

Nothing against Lisa but should this position be eliminated?

@ @Really
There are tens of thousands of highly skilled senior executive administrators across the country. The point is work for local government and hit the jackpot!

I can also state that I have almost never heard of anyone saying that teachers on the taxpayer dime are overpaid, except at Berkeley.

Thing is Lisa will have to work 12 months a year, not 9. Average that out into a 16 year teacher salary.
