Posted on by

Matthew Mogenson goes back home to Marina. P.G.’s going broke, council members Rau & Garfield nit picked him to death and drove him nuts and then the cannabis fiasco. He did tear down the parklets though.

Marina may have decided on a new city manager, and he will be a familiar face to many. The city announced  Thursday it would consider an employment agreement with  former Assistant City Manager Matthew R. Mogenson at their Tuesday meeting.

While serving as City manager of Pacific Grove, Mogenson oversaw the appointment of a new police chief after uncertainty caused by the injury of the previous chief ( Cathy Madalone).

City Citing Squirrel Sustainers

Now, Seagulls will swoop down and steal your food, but the punk squirrels at Lovers Point will climb your leg and bite you.

Feeding wild animals such as deer, squirrels and raccoons in Pacific Grove is not only frowned upon, it’s illegal. It will also cost you.
On June 15 and 16, Pacific Grove police officers cited five people on Ocean View Boulevard and nearby streets for feeding animals. “My understanding is that in these five cases, it was squirrels that were being fed,” Pacific Grove Police Chief Casey Day told The Pine Cone this week.

Well, The Yes On C People ARE Stereotypical Bigots

Is that what they think about anyone over 50? While the no votes in the AI picture are all angry old people the yes votes are all happy young people. Katy Annigoni on Nextdoor thinks so. This AI is crap, and people using it for illustrations are brainless. .

AI Yes C

But Katy, you said:

Katy’s second crappy AI ad – only the white people have their eyes open. Why? Do multicultures close their eyes to bad ideas and let them become laws?

Eyes wide shut

Also, no children in either ad.

Ben Harvey Same City Manager, Different City

Sounds familiar, eh? Employee Issues, Lawsuits Plague the City of Ojai

“We’re hopeful, especially after you hired Anthony as the trolley supervisor. It seemed promising. He would often ride the trolley with us and ask for our input. He’s a very kind and helpful man, and we thought things were looking up. But now Anthony has disappeared, and we just want to know what’s going on.”

Another speaker, Joe Puglia, accused Ojai City Manager Ben Harvey of mistreating Palacios, “How you have treated this veteran tells me you are not fit for leadership,” he said.

Connecting the stories of the City’s former Transit Operations Supervisor, Financial Director and Recreation Manager, two of whom are suing the City

After Harvey came on board as City Manager, Greer alleges she “realized she was dealing with a different kind of city manager, one who had no respect for rules as they applied to him,” after allegedly pushing back on Harvey’s request for reimbursement of hotel and housing expenses, Greer’s complaint says, she got “on [Harvey’s] bad side.”

Greer also alleges that, “Harvey encouraged disrespect for the Finance Director’s authority and condoned, supported and promoted… illicit and improper City accounting practices.”

…

“In April 2024,” the complaint reads, “[City Manager] Ben Harvey specifically directed [Davis] to identify operational issues within the [Recreation] department.”

Davis alleges he made “his first protected complaint” to Harvey regarding alleged improper use of funds for the City’s gymnastics program in May of 2024. According to the complaint, Davis made subsequent “protected complaints” regarding bad behavior amongst Recreation staff.

Slow Clapping Goes To Diana V For Best Troll Of 2026

Post shows up on Nextdoor 4/16/2026. Huge response by Nextdoor people that think this is true. Update, they have a website too! pacificgroveforward.com

Hi neighbors! BIG CHANGES COMING TO PACIFIC GROVE! I’m Diana from the City Planning team, and I wanted to share an exciting vision we’ve been exploring for the future of our town 🌊

As many of you know, Pacific Grove has always been special because of its walkability, charm, and connection to the coastline. We’re now looking at ways to build on that by gradually moving away from car-heavy streets and creating more people-focused spaces.

One idea currently being discussed is transforming portions of Lighthouse Avenue into a more pedestrian friendly corridor potentially incorporating small canals inspired by European coastal towns . The goal would be to our neighbours Carmel. To decrease traffic, increase local business activity, and create a unique, beautiful destination that attracts visitors while still feeling like home.

Imagine outdoor cafés along the water, small bridges connecting walkways, and a calmer, more relaxed pace through the heart of town.

This is still very early in the conversation, and community input is incredibly important. We’d love to hear your thoughts what excites you, what concerns you, and what you’d want to see included if we move in this direction.

THE REASON:

This isn’t just for looks — it’s being explored as part of a larger infrastructure plan to address long-term issues like coastal flooding, aging storm systems, and rising heat in dense areas. A controlled canal system could help store and redirect excess water during storms, reduce pressure on underground pipes, and lower street temperatures, which in turn helps reduce strain on the power grid from cooling demand. It also creates a more resilient downtown that can better handle climate impacts while supporting local businesses and tourism.

In addition, the concept relies on using non-drinking (desalinated and recycled) water in a closed system, meaning it wouldn’t draw from our existing water supply. With future desal capacity being discussed for the region, this kind of system could also act as supplemental storage and buffering, helping manage water more efficiently rather than letting it go to waste.

BELOW ARE SOME SKETCHES

Looking forward to hearing from you all!
