Hear hear! Good editorial. The public has a right to know.

yes, make the report public and the City leaders need to make sure these constant mis-steps come to an end. Time for a better city lawyer??

Cities and other governmental agencies often try to hide behind the cloak of "confidential personnel actions." There's little reason for this. Many of them tried to hide governmental employee salaries and so on. The editorial is right -- we pay these people to work for us, and they owe us transparency, not secrecy.

Wow! For sure, the wrong person got fired.

Alex McIntyre seems to be the one that needs to be handed a pink slip. And perhaps Mr. McClure as well.

McIntyre wants to HIRE 9 additional employees for the planning department. He seems completely unaware that 71% of the voters in Menlo Park voted for Measure "L" because of their concern over ballooning employee costs. Completely out of touch with the residents / tax payers!

Now he shows complete incompetence in a highly charged employee dismissal. It's hard to believe he never took the time to interview the principle parties in the case. Any person who's ever been in a management position would know that's HR 101.

It's time for the City Council to act on this continuing pattern and send him back to Oregon. And the next thing they should do is hang out a job position sign for a new city manager and city council that are from the private sector. Getting up to speed is normal for any new job. But hiring hacks who have their feet in cement that support the "system" and lack the will or knowledge to challenge it is clearly not working.

Kudos for the great investigative journalism and shame on our elected officials. Put it all out in the open.

If the City doesn't release the information then it would be prudent for all those who talked to the investigator to contact the Almanac and repeat their stories. Completely absurd that the City continues to hide behind "it's a personnel" matter.

Alex McIntyre has been sitting on the completed investigation for over a week now. So much for tranparancy. Just another example of our City Mananger wasting valuable resources and hiding the truth from the public. Shame on you, City of Menlo Park. We deserve better.
