Do your own background checks on anyone you hire.
Monterey County District Attorney Dean Flippo today announced that Central Coast Senior Services of Pacific Grove has agreed to pay $175,000 to settle a false advertising complaint.
Flippo’s office began their investigation in April 2006 after two criminal prosecutions involving Central Coast Senior Services employees stealing from elderly clients.
The City Council will consider the approval of a Resolution naming the month of May 2008 as “Pedestrian Safety Month” as part of the Pacific Grove Police Department’s ongoing efforts to promote pedestrian safety throughout the City.
Reference: Police Chief Engles
Recommended Action: Adopt the Resolution
Sometimes hard to see people crossing the street downtown, but please do try and look.
Even harder to see the pedestrians (or the pedestrians see cars) at Fountain & Lighthouse when delivery trucks block the crosswalk because someone that drives a gold Chevy pickup (presumably an employee of Victorian Corner) uses the “Loading Zone” as a personal all-day parking place.
All the time . .
