City officials would like to see projects that would create new jobs. ``If the developer brings a proposal for me to review, it better be about jobs,'' said Councilman Glen Becerra. ``That's where my priority is for that property. ...

We're deficient in high-quality, well-paying jobs.'' The land at the canyon is zoned for industrial uses. ``When you spend that kind of money, you want to get the ball rolling,'' said Mayor Pro Tem [Latin, For the time being.] An abbreviation used for pro tempore, Latin for "temporary or provisional."
