SAN DIEGO—Mayor Todd Gloria announced a massive shakeup in city government Tuesday—including Gloria himself taking over the city manager position—as San Diego faces a more-than $250 million budget deficit.
“The measures I am enacting today will significantly cut costs, enhance efficiency and reflect a full implementation of the Strong Mayor form of government,” Gloria said. “The more than $5 million saved will help preserve services for San Diegans—keeping officers on patrol and all of our fire stations in service and fully staffed, as well as enabling us to continue our progress in fixing the roads and getting the homeless off the street.”
