LISA KIM, Garden Grove City Manager (Tribune file photo)<\/p>\n

Back-Patting and Nit-Picking Dept.: There\u2019s been a predictable amount of grumbling about the pay increase given last week to City Manager Lisa Kim by the Garden Grove City Council.<\/p>\n

Two points here: Lisa is doing a heck of a fine job and the city manager is on call 24\/7, not to mention being responsible for \u201ceverything above and below ground\u201d within city limits.<\/p>\n

The City of Youth and Ambition has had two outstanding CM\u2019s in a row \u2013 Scott Stiles (now sunning himself in Palm Springs) and Ms. Kim. Good leadership is gold. Holding on to it is worth the price.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>On the other side of the ledger, the worst, most dangerous sign is the freeway onramp sign on Trask Avenue between Brookhurst and Magnolia streets.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s so faded you can\u2019t even see the green background. Is it inviting to you to west or east? Can\u2019t tell.
It\u2019s long been a faint image of what it should be, but now it\u2019s as faded as Greg Bonino\u2019s chances of getting elected mayor of Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

I realize the sign may be the responsibility of CalTrans, but that agency is notorious for its sluggish response to complaints and crises.<\/p>\n

Little things like signs can mean a lot.<\/p>\n

Those responsible could show they mean to do the right thing by quickly replacing that disastrous excuse for signage before we hear the wail of the ambulances.<\/p>\n
