SF ENVIRONMENT STAFF

According to this blurb, Jared Blumenfeld has grown SF’s Department of Environment. It’s treated as a positive thing. To bureaucrats size definitely matters, budget size.

Jared Blumenfeld replaces Francesca Vietor, who resigned in April, joining SF Environment at a time of significant growth, with several new program areas in development. The department has an operating budget just under $2 million and will have a staff of 25 by year's end ­ up from a budget under $300 thousand and a staff of three when Vietor became director in 1999. SF Environment also administers a $13 million grant for environmental health and justice projects in Potrero Hill and Hunters Point, and an $8 million grant to launch the Power Boosters program to help small businesses underwrite the costs of energy-efficiency improvements.

Here is the current staff list as posted on their website. There are more than 25 names here.
