City Hall

A group of residents opposed to the Pacific Grove City Council’s decision last week to give itself an immediate 130 percent pay raise is hoping to overturn the idea by putting it to a vote of the people. The council on May 21 passed an ordinance to increase their monthly pay from $420 to $966, and from $700 to $1,610 for the mayor. Councilmembers Lori McDonnell and Paul Walkingstick voted against the pay hike.
In response, a group calling itself Transparent Pacific Grove filed referendum paperwork with the city clerk May 23. Former city councilman Luke Coletti filed the documents for the group.

City Councilman Dan Miller said that about two years ago — before Mogensen was city manager — he complained to city officials about a significant bulge in the pavement in front of the high school, but nothing was done about it. The pavement bulge turned out to be where the water main-break occurred.

Like that’s going to be a real Monterey Experience. More than black light mini golf, more than a diving bell, it’s a Fly & Dive. Check back in a few, see if it’s still a thing. Hint: Bring back the Edgewater Packing Company.

Work has resumed on a new attraction inside the long-shuttered movie theater on Cannery Row, nearly three years after its permits were approved by the Monterey Planning Commission.

A sign posted on the door of the building at 640 Wave St. notifies passersby that work has commenced at the property, which is owned by the Cannery Row Company. The lessee is listed as Fly Dive, LLC, doing business as Monterey Fly & Dive.
