Each year, the Business Journal sits down with city management to discuss the city's highest earning jobs. Since 1997, the “$100,000 Club” has included the city’s top earners, but it’s time to make room for a new elite group: the “$200,000 Club.” In our last interview with outgoing City Manager Patrick West and his top staff, we discussed city salaries, the competition for top talent, the city budget and the highlights of his 14-year career in Long Beach.
