With all the cloudy weather lately, SJ Council Member Don Rocha thought it would be good to bring a little more sunshine to City Hall. He wants the new Mayor to explain why he pushed City Manager Ed Shikada out the door just as he was beginning to make some progress with city unions. That decision, (and the discussion that went along with it) happened in a very short closed session over the holiday break. Although state law allows city councils to discuss personnel matters in closed session, Rocha is asking the City Council Rules Committee to allow the whole Council to decide whether that discussion can be made public. Rocha thinks it would get things off on a better foot if the public knew why Mayor Liccardo wanted to impede the tiny spark of hope that appeared to be igniting between City administration and unions.
