I found your article regarding the hiring practices by the City Manager, Deanna Santana very interesting. I would like to submit a response: It is very interesting that the City Manager, Deanna Santana, emphasizes the importance of attracting talent to the City of Santa Clara stating it is a great place to work. However, she does not state the importance, or need, to promote from within in order to retain the talent that is currently within the city offices. Santa Clara is a great place to work because of those who have built the existing structure and work environment. Her approach to hiring outside personnel at a higher salary, especially those she has worked with or who worked for her previously, is big step in demoralizing the existing managers and rank and file. They see this as a slap in the face of the many years they have given to the city with

The Santa Clara Schools Foundation wants to share our appreciation for the Santa Clara Firefighters Foundation and for everyone that joined us at The Firehouse Run on December 2, 2019. Your involvement enabled the Santa Clara Firefighters Foundation to donate a whopping $28,000 to the Santa Clara Schools Foundation to support our schools and students — their biggest donation so far! We also want to say a big thanks to all of the race partners, sponsors, and the many volunteers that made the event possible. The event was a great success and we couldn’t have done it without you! Over the past 5 years, The Firehouse Run has contributed $100,000 to the Santa Clara Schools Foundation. This funding goes directly to provide grants to teachers in Santa Clara Unified School District and scholarships for Santa Clara Unified School District students going to college!

Keep up the good work!

I wonder why we have street signs when no one really pays attention to them. Of course, I am talking about those pesky speed limit signs that no one seems to care about. On local roads, most of them indicate that the speed limit is 35, but when was the last time you saw anybody driving below 40? On freeways, it is even worse. Most drivers do not seem to understand that “65” means 65, and instead seem to interpret it as 75 or more. We could probably save a lot of money by removing these signs from our roads and allowing people to do what they seem to do best – drive fast and deal with the consequences.

Have a heart! I'm one of those older gents (87 this July). Are you trying to compete with the NY Times crossword puzzle? Can't you get something easier, like the Merc's Commuter that doesn’t contain too many young actors, singer, bands? More like Gary Cooper, Perry Como, Wayne King? I used to complete maybe one out of five or ten puzzles. We dropped the Merc after realizing only the bridge column ( wife), the Commuter ( me), the comics (me), Road Show (both) interested us. Sorry to say we are current with news based on AP, the Times, Politico and the WSJ on Internet. Imagine back in 1940 my family avidly read thoroughly the Chicago Herald American daily and on Sunday scoured the Tribune, Sun-Times and H A. TV, the Internet and the rush of today's world sure have changed things. The W. Made a smart move expanding coverage to SV and this

Perhaps it is just we older longtime residents, accustomed to using a paper monthly annual calendar upon which we make our daily appointments and watch for reminders of our City events, especially Council meetings and the like, that we miss not receiving a City Calendar this year. Not just my household but also my neighbors. We are not in the habit or yet accustomed to carrying our brains and filing cabinet around in a small hand-held device, so we actually use the City paper calendar. I note that in recent years each home owners' copy is being delivered later and later and the paper quality seems to be of a lower grade too. Here we are, first week into the New Year and no sign of this year's issue. Follow-up enquiries with the City advise that if a copy has not been received in the next twenty days we are to call back ...
