City staff hires almost complete
Friday, January 16, 2015 by Elizabeth Pagano
City Hall’s old and new City Council offices are almost full, with only one staff position remaining a mystery. That opening is on Council Member Ellen Troxclair’s staff, though she has hired Viveca Martinez as a policy aide and Annette Cantu as her temporary executive assistant. Martinez was formerly an adviser to Gov. Rick Perry. Mayor Steve Adler also went public with his hires this week. He has hired campaign manager Jim Wick as his director of community engagement and Community Action Network executive director Vanessa Sarria. Nancy Cardenas, who is a former staffer for Mayor Pro Tem Sheryl Cole, will serve as Adler’s Constituent Services aide.
