Banks Must Keep Foreclosed Properties Neat
If a mortgage holder walks away from a property, the bank will be responsible for keeping it up, according to an ordinance approved by the Pacific Grove City Council on Wednesday.
The ordinance, presented by Deputy City Attorney Alex Lorca, would require lenders to register properties considered “abandoned” by their buyers with the city within 10 days of a code enforcement officer notifying them.
That solves that. There’s little to no code enforcement.
Anyone see these rotting steps at the city owned old Old Bath House?

Mvsevm Board Member Quits
Who is true here, someone with years of experience in operating many of the Mvsevm’s functions – or out of towners with none at all.
In June 2009, the City Council approved a public-private partnership between the city and the Museum Foundation of Pacific Grove Inc., in which the city leased the museum and its collection for 15 years, while retaining ownership of the museum’s property and its collections.
The foundation is responsible for operations, planning and management.
The Pacific Grove Museum Foundation board “in reality is a private organization unwilling to work with the city board,” Trosow wrote. “We have been accused of micromanagement of the museum; we have not had the executive director of the foundation present at a single meeting and we have been ham-stringed by Byzantine rules about communicating with the foundation.”
She also contended that substantive reports on museum activities are not given in a timely manner and described executive director Lori Mannel’s monthly reports as “generally void of useful information about operations at the museum, contain questionable statistics, and lag behind two or three months between the time period they cover and the time they are shared with the board.”
Other documents posted on the Museum Foundation’s website, she said, including business plans and exhibit plans, “are vague and lacking in specifics,” and in some cases have been edited after being posted and information on them deleted.
Mannel disagreed.
The foundation, she said, “is fulfilling its obligations under the lease agreement, and working hard to support the mission of the museum.”
Counterfeit Thwarted
Good work, Save Mart.
A clerk at a SaveMart store refused to accept the bogus bill, and police were called about 8:20 p.m. The suspect was found nearby, and police said he had five counterfeit $100 bills.
Brendon McCloskey, 29, was booked into Monterey County Jail on a parole hold and suspicion of burglary, attempting to pass a fictitious note and providing false identification.
Lost Wallet Returned After 20 Years
Now if we can just find some sensible city leaders we lost 20 years ago..
A soldier’s wallet was returned 20 years after he lost it in California.
A volunteer who was doing some restoration work in Pacific Grove, CA, said he found a wallet belonging to Tom Moss Jr.
After doing some detective work, he was able to track down the owner.
Moss said he was stationed in nearby Fort Ord in Monterey, CA, in the late 1980s and probably lost his wallet during group runs.
Aaron Corn Gets 7 Years In Felony DUI
Should never be allowed to drive again for life.
Aaron Corn, 19, was sentenced to seven years and four months for driving under the influence and causing great bodily injury, and vehicle theft in connection with the Feb. 21, 2010, crash after a night of partying at a Pacific Grove home. Corn, who has been in jail since the accident, gets credit for about a year and a month time served. He pleaded no contest to the charges in January as part of a plea deal.
The former Pacific Grove High School baseball player faced a maximum of about 10 years in prison, which prosecutor Todd Hornik requested. Defense attorney Frank Dice asked for felony probation and substance abuse treatment.
Pair Busted For Fake Prescription Attempt
Arkwright Court residents Michael Dodd, 27, and 25-year-old Patricia Brown.
“The pharmacist was smart and called Doctors on Duty to check, and learned no prescription had been issued by the office,” he said. “They learned it was a fake prescription.”
Instead of returning Dodd’s phone call, the pharmacist alerted Pacific Grove police and then waited for him to come attempt to pick up the narcotic painkillers. When the
Arkwright Court resident appeared at the store around 4 p.m., pharmacy staff called the police.
Tsunami Watching Pagrovians
Maybe all the tsunami warnings are the wrong message. Block the streets and Pagrovians think it is time for another parade. Crowds gather to watch.
Smart Meters, Like ‘Em Or Not It’s Gonna Happen
Wonder if they work during the frequent power outages?
The Mayor and Dan Miller wanted an ordinance drawn up, but the rest of the council disagreed. Remember who is on PG&E’s side . . .
City Hall was filled with people who came, many from out of town, to speak against the meters on grounds that they emit harmful radiation and violate privacy by collecting data that won’t be secure and can be used to monitor people’s daily lives.
Software engineer Tim Wilson of Monterey said the meters “seem to have privacy and control issues” along with wireless radiation issues, which critics contend can cause genetic damage or increase cancer rates.
“It’s a big money maker for them,” said Bob Franco of Pacific Grove. “PG&E can find out everything we do electronically” and garner information about individuals’ buying habits, the kind of appliances they own, and when they come and go, he said.
P.G. High Student Threatens Assistant Principal
Student is from Pebble Beach.
How many times was the opportunity to manage the bad kid out of the school system overlooked?
The boy gave Martinez permission to search his backpack and she found nothing unusual, she said. But when the student began acting nervously, she asked Howell to search him. In his right front pocket, Howell found a 3½-inch kitchen knife inside a homemade cardboard sheath.
Martinez called police. The boy said he usually kept the weapon in his backpack but was late that morning and put it in his pants. Asked why he carried it, the student took on a sarcastic tone, Martinez said.
“I like to cut things,” he said. “I cut many things.”
…..
The next day, Martinez said, she attended training at Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula. While walking through the hospital, she saw John Doe lying on a bed.
