Elk Grove Mayor Singh-Allen and the city council were advised of the poor performance of Darrel Doan, the city's economic development director.

On Wednesday, June 12, Elk Grove Mayor Bobbie Singh-Allen and her city council heard advice from a long-time city council observer and watchdog about the city's economic development department. The mayor heard the advice during their regular meeting's public comment on non-agenda items.

Elk Grove resident Lynn Wheat made the remarks. More specifically, Ms. Wheat focused on the city's economic development director, Darrell Doan, by citing a recent Elk Grove News story that, in turn, quoted a source.
