12. 22-494 Action on:
1. Adoption of a Resolution approving the amended salary plan for Unclassified Employees;
2. Adoption of a Resolution approving the amended salary plan for As-Needed (Temporary) Employees; and
3. Approve and authorize the Mayor to execute an Agreement for Interim City Manager services with Rajeev Batra.
Raj Batra, based on reports of prior performance, doesn't like hard work and, besides, as a pensioner, won't be able to work more than part time. So, if the Council wants to hire an ineffective manager, this is definitely the way to go. But, if the city wants to hire an effective, full time manager for less than the former manager, the city might check someone like Jaime Fontes - whom I do not know personally - as he steps down from an exceedingly effective term with East Palo Alto.
