So Cal Consultants Hired To Roll Up Weed Permits

Posted on by

City manager Matt Mogensen hired the consultants for $24K. Two years sales taxes on PG Weed might cover the fee, eh?

The initial term of the contract with HdL is expected to be less than $24,000 through December 2026. “Consultant fees to the city will only be charged for the hours necessary to finalize the application process and establish the user fees,” according to a report by Mogensen presented to the council at its Dec. 18 meeting.
“The user fees will cover all other costs associated with the consultant’s work and will be charged to the applicant,” the report said. After voter approval of a pot shop, the council directed city officials to create a licensing program to allow the operation of a retail storefront. A cannabis business must first obtain a license to operate from the city before getting a use permit.

Citizens Inge Lorentzen Daumer and Mike Gibbs opposed hiring HdL, with Gibbs, a member of the city’s Economic Development Commission, saying he believed the company’s services were “particularly poor,” while Daumer said she had “never been a fan” of the consulting firm. The city council did not entertain their concerns.

“Ever scene we started monitoring the butterflies, what we have noticed is a steep decline in the number; an over 95% drop,” said Community Science Coordinator at the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History Natalie Johnston.

“One of [the reasons] is habitat loss and in their northern ground where they migrate too,” said Johnston. “Another is pesticides, and then there is climate change, witch is impacting all creators.”

No words.

The woman in her 40s said she was out walking at around 7:30 a.m. when she was being followed by a male.

“During that encounter, the male subject produced a handgun,” said deputy spokesperson Andy Rosas. “The male basically walked her over to a tree and proceeded to tie her up to the tree. And shortly thereafter, the male walked away.”

The man just left on foot. She said she was not injured, assaulted or robbed.

She is found a few hours later. She was taken to the hospital for a checkup.

The culprit was described as a Hispanic male adult in his 30s who was wearing a green hat and grey sweater. He had a tattoo on the right side of his neck with the first letter being the letter “Z.”
