The site only list 9 open positions that have been listed for quite some time. The site is rarely updated.

If we were able to provide some of the most critical positions a chance to live and own at the upcoming SRI site you would have a flood of applicants,
Let's be proactive,

Is it known why Menlo Park's City Manager and Police Chief both voluntarily and abruptly quit their respective positions recently? I do not have a good understanding of either situation but it does beg the question of whether our City Council bears some level of responsibility and whether this is related to our inability to fill some of the key management positions.

@MP Father, the Police Chief was unable to bear even discussing how residents viewed the police and how to better serve the community, so he quit in a tantrum - extremely unprofessional, and we are much better for having our new Police Chief, David Norris who is really good at engaging the community. (But as the story states, there are no vacancies in the police dept., so all this is neither here nor there with regard to vacancies.)

The city manager lost the confidence of the majority of the city council, but she had two supporters. [Portion removed due to personal attack/unsubstantiated claim].

It's hard for anyone to hire these days, because during the pandemic, wage earners left or found other ways to support themselves, and the pay is too low to enable people to live close enough to work to make it worthwhile.

It would be wise for apologists not to slander the former City Manager. She chose to enter retirement gracefully, but I for one would be interested in hearing what she has to say regarding the current City Council majority and how they treated her and city staff.
