Michelle Dawson City Manager of Moreno Valley, you make this way to easy for Thirty Miles of Corruption. This is great material. It doesn’t get any better than this.
There needed to be full disclosure to the public about the Mayor and Council’s recent decision to hire Leslie Keane as your interim city clerk at about $10,000 a month. Since your hiring a celebrity the public should have been told. The Mayor and City Council voted 5-0 to appoint Leslie Keane as interim city clerk. Mayor Xstian Gutierrez should have done his due diligence and checked her background out thoroughly. The leadership of the Mayor’s office is lacking miserably. If these are the decisions coming out of the Mayor’s office, the Citizens need to Vote in a new Mayor. They are continuing to feed the perception that the mayor and council are still a bunch of yo yo’s. What kind of message does this send to the staff and the residents?
I thought it was a new day and a new chapter for Mo Val? The citizens need to be fully aware of what they are paying for and they deserve a qualified staff. Is this just another embarrassing moment for the City? Mayor Gutierrez you own this appointment!
Is this a friend or acquaintance of City Manager Michelle Dawson, Tom De Santis or Brad Hudson (Who by the way is the new CEO for Laguna Woods)? This is just another example of how the executive staff of Moreno Valley is destroying the city. The shenanigans’ that go on in this City is unbelievable. This appointment is unbelievable! ONLY IN MORENO VALLEY and only under the direction of Michelle Dawson, City Manager and Xstian Gutirrez, Mayor….the gift that keeps on giving!
If this was any other employee in Moreno Valley they would be fired. This would be like the City of Riverside bringing Police Chief Leach back!

It is clear that you know absolutely nothing about city government. The city Council appoints the city clerk, not city staff doing so.
Can you get any fact correct?
“There needed to be full disclosure to the public about the Mayor and Council’s recent decision to hire Leslie Keane as your interim city clerk….” Thanks for your comment Nancy, you may have overlooked it, but we said it. In the City of Moreno Valley, Xstian has the dual position of Mayor/Councilman. The point being made is that staff takes a part in the responsibility of finding new employee talent to replace those who’ll be leaving. Ultimately, the City Manager Michelle Dawson takes the brunt of this decision in bringing Ms. Keane forth as the best choice for the taxpayers of Moreno Valley. As you can see, Ms. Keane has a track record of being around the block, from the City of Colton, City of Yucaipa, and many years as City Manager of Laguna Woods, to now downgrade, and take a position as City Clerk? With the many of potential and qualified people out in the work environment, this was the best choice that the City of Moreno Valley staff was able to bring for the christening by your Council? Best, Javier Moreno
So Nancy – why didn’t Council do their homework in appointing this individual, then? This leave me with 2 thoughts. 1) Council knew her work history background and didn’t care or 2) Council DID NOT do their due diligence in vetting her. Either case, it shows their of level of incompetence.
do you know that Leslie Keane cleared out her office at Laguna Woods when she was fired. Left no records.
