Ben Harvey Will Be Spending Even Less Time In P.G.

Posted on by

Farewell to the work-from-Long Beach kid. Overpaid and uneducated about P.G.

Under mysterious circumstances. Like he stomped on a Monarch or something.
Council appointees and department heads are precluded from making disparaging  statements about Ben Harvey,” Pierik said. “You should not make any statements [verbal or written] about Ben Harvey or his resignation.

Following a 5 p_m. closed session city council meet-
ing Wednesday, PG. city attorney Brian Pierik reported
in open session that the council voted 6-0 to approve the
so-called separation agreement, which allows city man-
ager Ben Harvey to resign from the job he’s held since
2016.
While Pierik didn’t specify why the council wanted
Harvey gone — and those specifics will probably kept
confidential — councilmembers were likely not pleased
with Harvey’s job performance and had lost confidence
in him.

“Both suspects began to punch the victim in the face and head,” Kaster said. “At one point, the victim was hit on the head with something hard, causing a small laceration to the back of his head.”

Are You Ready To Fight Godzilla El Nino?

El Nino

Since 1951, there have been 26 El Niño events. Of those, 11 have been weak, 7 moderate, 5 strong and 3 very strong. Overall during all of them, rainfall in Southern California averaged 126% of normal. In the Bay Area it was 109% of normal.

During two of the three very strong El Niños, the winters of 1982-83 and 1997-98 were among the wettest in recorded California history, with massive Sierra Nevada snowpacks and major flooding.

The third, in 2015-16, was something of a bust. Hyped as a “Godzilla El Niño,” that event did see big winter storms, but they ended up hitting Oregon and Washington, dashing hopes of breaking a California drought, which didn’t end until big storms finally arrived in 2017.

Coast Weakly Calls Lighthouse Ave A Struggle

Lighthouse Ave Traffic

Comparing it to Alvarado. Apples and oranges. Avlarados and Lighthouses. And no one wants the homeless bums sleeping in doorways or acting strange on Lighthouse.

It’s been a balancing act for Monterey officials over the decades, figuring out how to serve the needs of motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists while managing the demands and expectations of residents and business owners. A vision for Alvarado Street forged a decade ago in the city’s Downtown Specific Plan has led to what is now a flourishing destination. The vision for Lighthouse Avenue, laid out in the Lighthouse Specific Plan adopted in 2016, has been clouded by its geography and competing opinions on how to make it work as best it can for all involved.

Come-Heres Want To Remove the Grove Of P.G.

Move. Why buy a home under trees if you have dendrophobia?

Wtf Tree

Christie Monson and Tim Calvert know the municipal battle well. With three, 50-foot-plus cypress trees in their front yard – and worries one or more will fall onto their home, especially amid consistently stormy weather of late – the Pacific Grove couple has been wrestling with the city to have the towering conifers removed.

So far, the city has denied the pair’s request, maintaining the trees are healthy and don’t need to come out.

But Monson and Calvert aren’t convinced. Instead, they’ve started sleeping as far away from the trees as they could get, moving their bed from their front-of-house bedroom to a nook near the back.

Sick Rec Trail Attacker’s Parole Upheld

Jason Blad

The grounds for approval, laid out at the board’s October hearing, rested on “Youthful Offender” factors, the DA’s Office said in a press release announcing Blad’s parole. On its website, the CDCR explains that the “idea of a youth offender parole hearing is based on scientific evidence showing that parts of the brain involved in behavior control continue to mature through late adolescence and that adolescent brains are not yet fully mature until a person is in his or her mid-to-late 20s.”
