Before that he was planning director in El Cerrito...apparently he shot the Redevelopment Agency's wad on some ugly claptrap townhouses at Del Norte BART (failed infill) and was behind the remodel of El Cerrito Plaza, which though an improvement over the previous dated design locks in the same, auto-centric, land-use for another half century. Old Patty deserves much more than 'six of the best' for his on-going failures.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-21526193381128044282011-02-15T18:16:33.345-08:002011-02-15T18:16:33.345-08:00I do not want to bash public servants, government ...I do not want to bash public servants, government workers, which appears to be all the rage these days. But it is enormously difficult to support this man and his policies. Of course he is getting ready to leave the sinking ship; with so much redevelopment debt (rd). Companies in the city supported through the RA and other means are now bailing out on paying their fair share. They all want reductions in taxes and yet they are all pulling in huge profits. It is the residents who will be left with the mess. Pat O'K and his merry band of staff will not have the ongoing work they now have if the RA disappears.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-4182605824727785562011-02-13T21:52:01.972-08:002011-02-13T21:52:01.972-08:00Let's not blow this out of proportion! In real...Let's not blow this out of proportion! In reality, the only change Mr. O'keeffe is asking for is the same benefit cash outs upon voluntary separation as he would get if he were let go. Now if he was fired or terminated because of disciplinary reasons, he would not be entitled to his sick leave buyback. Read the MESA MOU for details. Here is a brief rundown on what he is entitled to upon "separation in good standing"<br />1. Payment of 60% of his accrued sick leave up to a maximum of 120 days. 120 days is equal to 960 hours, 60% of 960 hrs is 576 hours.<br />2. I don't know how many years of service he has but assuming it is 21 or greater he would get 25 days of vacation per year. The MOU allows 2 years on the books so the maximum he would be entitled to is 50 days if he hasn't used any in the last 2 years. 50 days is equal to 400 hrs at 100% buyback.<br />3. Admin days can be accrued at 10 days per year with no hold over so that gives him 80 hrs.<br /><br />Assuming the $215k per year figure is correct, we know that he works 35 hours per week or 1820 hours per year. This gives him an hourly rate of $118. If you add 576 hrs plus 400 hours plus 80 hours the total is 1056 hours times $118/hr or a total cash out figure of $124,608. FYI- PERS does not allow pension spiking like some of the county 1937 act systems do, so none of this last year payout would count toward his pension. He will receive 2% of his annual salary for every year of service provided he is 55 years old.
