What was old yesterday is new today on the top floor of City Hall.
A decade after releasing the last public information officer – in a move labeled shrink-the-staff-for-economic-reasons – a replacement is being sought.
The proposed move, for some older-timers, recalls the name of Randi Joseph, now employed in Sacramento. She served as City Hall’s public information officer in the late ‘90s and early years of this century
One explanation for the change in policy is that several executive regimes have passed through and out of City Hall in the interim.
City Manager John Nachbar, who will mark his sixth anniversary in Culver City this summer, is seeking a more direct channel than presently exists to stream pertinent information to the community.
Mr. Nachbar’s questions:
How do we communicate better with the community?
What kind of vehicles can be utilized to let people know what City Hall is doing?
