Leave A Million Dollars In A Mini Storage?

If I was really looking out for the security of gold coins, I’d be asking a bank with a vault. Not a place where excess household junk is kept. Where’s Nadar??? Is he hiding in the bushes?

In a lawsuit filed June 18 against Extra Space Storage, Lillian King is seeking compensation for valuable silver coins and precious jewelry, which she says were stolen in 2006.

In January 2006, King’s attorney arranged to have 17 boxes of gold and silver coins and jewelry placed into a unit at the storage facility, according to the suit. In May of that year, King’s attorney removed two boxes of gold coins from the unit and placed them into a bank for safe keeping. However, days after that, the lawsuit claims, the storage unit was broken into and the remaining 15 boxes of silver coins and jewelry were stolen.

David Stamm

He is charged with 13 felony counts of child molestation and possession of child pornography related to alleged activities with a former employee.

City Manager Suddenly Quits

Colangelo, who has 28 years experience in local government, said he’s not sure if he’ll look for another job, but that he plans to stay in the area, at least for a while. He said his son Dylan’s graduation from P.G. High last month was another reason for his resignation. “I feel like I have accomplished a lot of things,” he said. “I have reached a point in my career where I want to reconsider what I want to do.”

I wonder if all the employees that followed him to PG will do without him?

P.G. City Budget – $29,000,000

With fires and $5/g gas, it’s not shaping up to be a big tourist year. It’s smart to not be all Sandy-ish and start spending like a gold digger.

Pacific Grove’s $29 million fiscal 2008-09 budget got final approval late Wednesday by unanimous vote of the City Council.

The council has set the city machine’s financial carburetor on lean. Pacific Grove anticipates general fund revenues of $15.7 million, including new revenues of $630,000 and general fund expenditures of $15.2 million, with the balance going to build up city reserves.

Total expenditures for the coming year are expected to reach $24.8 million, including general fund spending and expenditures of money earmarked for special purposes.

Do We Really Need Susan Goldbeck’s “Talent”?

Wasn’t it sloppy management during her first terms that got us deeper into the mess we are in today?

Goldbeck 1 grand

Speaking of city leaders and funny money, Squid’s not sure what to make of former-and-would-be-future Pacific Grove city councilwoman Susan Goldbeck.

Recently, after repeated demands, the Weekly sales department received a long-overdue check for a Backpage ad– for a whopping $140. A few days later a notice from the bank arrived, saying the account is closed.
