As Sacramento embarks on a nationwide search, what does a city manager actually do? Also, a conversation with new state Assembly Member Maggy Krell. Finally, how to cope with seasonal affective disorder.

The Role of a City Manager
The city of Sacramento is about to embark on a nationwide search for a new city manager. The process to replace Howard Chan could take up to 8 months to complete. What does a city manager actually do and what skills should the next one possess? Joining us on Insight today to break down city management 101 is Ken Pulskamp. He’s the executive director of the California City Management Foundation, which provides resources for civic officials. He served as City Manager for Santa Clarita from 2002 to 2012.

New Assembly Member Maggy Krell
There is a new class of state lawmakers. Today, we’ll meet first-time Assembly Member Maggy Krell. The Democrat won the race for the Assembly’s sixth district in Sacramento, replacing Kevin McCarty who is now Sacramento’s mayor. A former deputy attorney general under then-Attorney General Kamala Harris, Krell is known for prosecuting sex traffickers and wrote the book Taking Down Backpage: Fighting The World's Largest Sex Trafficker. She was also an attorney for Planned Parenthood and helped pave the way for California’s Proposition 1 protecting abortion access. Krell joins Insight with her priorities in her first year in office.

UC Davis Health clinical psychologist Dr. Gloria Petruzzelli explains the SAD symptoms and how to cope with a depression tied to the colder months.
