A Manfro All Seasons. Eddie Manfro to Be Anointed New City Manager
At next Tuesday’s Fullerton City Council meeting Eddie Manfo. Acting City Manager will be hired by the City Council to fill the job formally.
He will get $305,000 per year as base pay, plus a cornucopia of benefits that amount to, well, a helluva lot of money. Does he get to keep his current pension?
He’s quasi-at-will until this November, after which he gets nine months’ severance if fired.
Apparently there are at least three votes for Manfro’s appointment, but the sledding will not be without some controversy. Manfor was one of four Fullerton hires post COVID that attracted the negative attention of CalPERS, the State’s public employee retirement system. Once you officially retire there are limits to what you can do for employment inside the system. I don’t know what is required to unretire yourself so maybe Manfro has done that.
However, the CalPERS controversy, such as it is, is bound to arouse the indignation of certain elements in Fullerton Boohoo/Crazy who will use any opportunity, no matter how slim, to impugn the Jung/Dunlap/Valencia troika; the Kennedy Sisters, for instance, continue to bemoan the loss of “excellent” City Manager Ken Domer the incompetent stooge of Jennifer Fitzgerald, and wail about all subsequent replacements.
So….who negotiated this “deal” on behalf of the City? HR? People already working for Manfo?
Usually the city attorney.
Ah! Westminster lawyer Dick Jones who got a CalPERS sugar tit courtesy of…Eddie Manfor.
Would be interested in knowing more specific details
Go to Voice of OC and search on Manfro and/or Dick Jones.
Manfro isn’t worth $3.05 per year, much less $305,000.
He’s an incompetent boob — which is the primary qualification for Fullerton City Manager based on history.
So he’s perfectly qualified. Thanks Jung, Dunlap and Valencia.
So he gets paid bottom five in salary for City Managers in Orange County according to Transparent CA. Job is one of the hardest in the county because the Kennedy Observer blog and this one. Fucking A right. Thank you Jung, Dunlap and Valencia! We got Eddie on sale!
Cheaper chicken is Fullerton pedigree.
I don’t understand. How does this blog make being a City Manager’s job “hard?”
Because we point out fuck ups? What a shame.
The Kennedy Observer blog is a censored cheerleader for all city employees, so that makes no sense, either. Look how fucked up Domer was and how the Kennedy Sisters weep over his firing.
I can’t wait until the Boutique Hotel chickens come home to roost on Dec. 31, 2027. If it’s a 3 year contract, it will happen before Manfro’s contract is up. Will he rightfully throw Domer under the bus? Will he implicate Levitt? How about the prior parade of acting shitty Managers that were accomplices in the crime? Or, will Eddie-boy be able to stroke accountability for an extra year and keep the incompetence hidden until his golden parachute deploys?
Of course, no Council-member will want the horror to come out on their watch so they will acquiesce to the concealment. Either way, Fullerton, being Fullerton, will lose.
Well said Big Bird. I like your style.
What happens on 12/31/27?
Why Are There So Many Older White People at Protests?
Luxury of leisure retirement time to do it.
“Why Are There So Many Older White People at Protests?”
Because they grew up with the Draft and know and fear the horrors of war. And they weren’t treated as heroes like today’s mercenary force.
Mercenaries for Israel.
Antisemite much? You probably think the Nazi concentration camp ovens were one of humanities greatest hits.
Har har. Jewry ≠ Zionist Israel. The End.
“Zionist Israel”. Domestic terrorism is alive and well in Fullerton. Your next claim will be “genocide” in Palestine. Because liars and morons like you can’t help themselves.
We just went to war at the behest of Netanyahu. Liars and morons, indeed!
Look at the double chin on that hog! He’s been feeding at the trough way too long. Time to mix in a salad.
No kidding! He got a boob job on his neck!
Manfro glides in without a peep from tender Elijah, a squawk from the older Older Sister; Zahra, the crrep who leaked the Great CalPERS Scandal story to sweet Elijah praised Manffo for his integrity!
Fullerton Boohoo/Crazy silent as a tomb.
