Did he get a job description?

In a surprise announcement at Wednesday night’s Pacific Grove City Council meeting, city attorney Brian Pierik said he would step down after only three years in the role.
Pierik, 75, began working for P.G. in July 2022, after the council voted to retain the Los Angeles-based law firm he works for, Burke, Williams & Sorensen LLP. Another  attorney with the same firm attorney, Gregory Rubens, was hired as the assistant city attorney.

Rest Home Hires Unqualified Caregivers

From 2022 to 2023 before the care home was sold to “new owners”.

A civil complaint filed Aug. 19 by prosecutors contends that Sandeep and Anuradha Saini, who previously owned Del Monte Assisted Living on David Avenue, also allowed non-caregiver staff without background checks to perform duties that allowed them to interact with residents and did not have adequate training to meet residents’ medical and care needs.

Pacific Grove Council Raises Halted

Posted on by

The council directed staff to bring back an ordinance on Sep. 3 to formally repeal Ordinance No. 25-007, which raised council stipends from $420 to $966 per month and the mayor’s from $700 to $1,610. The May ordinance was automatically suspended after a referendum petition qualified in July.

Following the repeal, staff will later return with an agenda report outlining potential dates for a public vote on council pay. The measure could appear on the ballot in June or November 2026, or during a standalone special election.

And Councilman Paul Walkingstick turns it into a kooky DEI subject,

Councilman Paul Walkingstick noted that Pacific Grove recently voted to move to a by-district election system, and the city already struggles with gathering a diverse group of candidates to run, either from different classes or different neighborhoods

Squids Got Ties To Ojai

Another day, another Weakly hit piece on Luke Coletti for having held ex–City Manager Ben Harvey accountable. Here’s what Squid (Pam Marino) won’t mention: multiple Ojai employees—many of them women—have filed complaints against Harvey for workplace harassment and discrimination.

The record is damning:
Three complaints already filed
A fourth complaint pending
All involve harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and other unlawful conduct
Instead of attacking oversight, maybe ask why Ben Harvey keeps generating complaints from Ojai city staff.

See for yourself:

Drunk, stupid or envious?

Samuel Shaffer

Carmel police arrested Samuel P. Shaffer, 30, of Pacific Grove on Tuesday morning for vandalizing two McLarens.

“Everyone is asking ‘why,’ and I don’t know the reason why this happened, but I can tell you that his contact with the police department has been pretty minimal,”

The McLarens each have a different owner who was in Carmel for Car Week. The vehicles were parked near each other by the Pine Inn.

Burglars just ram the building with stolen cars.

Two Oakland marijuana dispensaries previously targeted by burglars were hit again by invaders using cars to get inside.

Oakanna, on Lakeshore Avenue, was hit just before 4 a.m. Friday. Several carloads of burglars converged on the business and rammed an Acura MDX with stolen plates into the storefront.

The dispensary was hit in similar fashion in October. In 2022, Oakanna’s owner was shot and wounded during a robbery.

Early Monday morning, the Stiiizy dispensary on Telegraph Avenue and 21st Street, was rammed by a Honda Accord, similar to an incident back in September when carloads of burglars surrounded the store. In that earlier case, a suspect was charged by Alameda County prosecutors last month.

School Kid On Motorized Scooter Hurt In Crash With Car

Posted on by

No details, but all three 4-way intersections around PG Middle School are 4 way stops. Motorized scooters and bicycles can often be seen riding on sidewalks.

A middle school student in Pacific Grove was injured in a collision with a car while riding a motorized scooter to school on the first day of classes, prompting concerns about traffic safety.

The seventh grader collided with a Mercedes, leaving a dent on the car and a gash on the windshield, according to another witness, Susannah Ashton.

“He was in the fetal position on his left side, and he just kept screaming and saying, it hurt. It hurt, it hurt,” Falknor said.

Ashton also expressed concerns about children riding motorized scooters, saying, “It’s just ridiculous. Kids don’t need to be on what’s essentially a motorcycle without any kind of license or regulation. And we just we need we need protections for the kids for that. But we also need better crosswalks and stop signs.”
