A new Craigslist job posting suggests that Rec. and Park general manager Phil Ginsburg is out the door and the City is seeking a successor:

The City and County of San Francisco is seeking a new General Manager for its Department of Recreation and Parks

For the past several years the Department of Recreation and Parks has been recognized as leader in the development of innovative programs to prevent the public from enjoying either recreation or parks. However, in a time of increasing budget shortfalls and political uncertainty, new directions must be found to preserve our civic treasures from our civic body.

Several recent initiatives, including privatization of parks, closing recreation centers, and placing advertising on every available public surface, have failed to keep people from going outdoors for free. We need bold ideas.

The qualified candidate will:

· Own a stun gun
· Possess strong ties to the business community
· Exhibit rudimentary math skills

People skills are optional.

The ad goes on to say that no experience is required, but you be submitted to “a background check” and a “substantial campaign donation will be required.”  Google employees, we're looking at you.
