Aint No Money In Our Wallet, Broke Again Is What We Call It*

Red House Sidewalk

Pay Rent for the sidewalks?

“We’ll have about a 1.3 million dollar shortfall”, said Pacific Grove Budget Manager Jim Beckenberg.

That makes up approximately ten percent of the City’s annual budget and now everything is on the table, meaning City Hall could decrease the hours that it stays open, furloughs will also be considered as well as layoffs.

“We have to look at recreating services, library services, anything where we’re charging a fee for a service to make sure that we collect as much as we can so that general tax dollars can be saved for basic services like police and fire” said Beckenberg.

Small offering: $25 a month per square yard of sidewalk used by restaurants and sidewalk spam signs.

Bigger offerings: The Asilomar Flamingo hotel/casino.
