Monterey Passes ‘Sit/Lie’ Ordinance Monterey City Council has passed the first reading of an ordinance making it il- legal to sit or lie on the sidewalk in a commercial area. The ordinance also included a move to install more benches on Alvarado Street. Residents, business owners and visitors have increasingly complained about young people from outside the area who hang around downtown Monterey and, by sitting or lying there, block sidewalks. It is alleged that they threaten and intimidate people. The law, said Monterey Police Chief Phillip Penko, is aimed at these youth and not at the homeless, at strollers or wheelchairs. It would not apply to parks and beaches and more than 62 percent of sidewalks. Police officers in Monterey carry cards that list services available for the homeless, but there are only six beds available in the city for homeless people. The vote was 4-1, with Councilman Alan Haffa voting against the measure. City staff is to report back in a year to report on whether the ordinance is working.

Brown Act Investigation Suspended Pending Trial The Monterey County District Attorney announced on July 1 that he is suspending his investigation of the Monterey County Board of Supervisors concerning allegations that the Board improperly used closed sessions to conduct policy discussions under the guise of evaluating the performances of county officials, all in violation of the Brown Act. The investigation concerns the same legal and factual questions presented in the civil lawsuit which Save Our Peninsula (SOP) brought against the Board of Supervi- sors and which is still pending in Superior Court. To date, the law enforcement investigation of these allegations has likewise failed to produce any evidence of a violation of the Brown Act. The District Attorney’s Of- fice has no greater right of access to confidential records of a closed session than any member of the public. In short, should the District Attorney’s Office file a civil case alleging a violation of the Brown Act and seek access to the same confidential records, the office would not fare any better than Save Our Peninsula in the current civil case. If the civil trial, now set for August 26, 2014, produces new evidence, the inves- tigation may be reopened. The District Attorney's office points out that the law allows the Board to conduct as many performance evaluations of an executive during a year as it deems necessary. However, the investigation has revealed that many of the scheduled 53 performance evaluations never took place or had to be continued two or more times because of other pressing matters on the closed session agenda. Even though the investigation is suspended, the District Attorney recommends that the Board of Supervisors publicly adopt a written protocol for the evaluation of the five county executives. “The Board’s unwritten procedures are detailed and complex and call for at least two or more meetings with each executive during the year. Mak- ing public the method for conducting a performance evaluation may ease the public’s concern that the evaluations are simply a cover for improper private discussions,” according to the District Attorney's office.

When you read this it will be on Independence Day or the day after. We will celebrate of the 4th of July as it is more commonly called. Most of us think of the day as one of barbecue, fireworks and parades. We rarely give thought to what gave us the freedom to celebrate. My mother’s family arrived on the New England shores around 1630; they came to escape tyranny from the “Kingdom of Great Britain.” There were few “gentle folk” who made the passage; my lineal ancestor was Anthony Morse, a farrier. For lineage purposes in a historical society I used Roger Shaw, also from England. The Mayflower Pilgrims arrived on these shores in 1620 in hopes of making a better life for themselves and their children while being able to worship freely and in peace. Undoubtedly the most famous colonists in world history, their faith and fortitude are legendary. Their perseverance laid the cornerstone of a new nation.The Pilgrims’ courage, gratitude to God, and love for one another still inspire people today. The story of Plymouth Colony, with its tragic first winter, treaty with the Wampanoag people and celebrated First Thanksgiving echoes down the ages and around the world.

Tony Gamecho has owned the store for 21 years, having started in the business as a flooring installer and working his way up to general manager there, before buying the store at the age of 33. He takes pride in ownership by continuing to offer hometown service since 1979.

Sara Lauderdale, the general manager for the last three years, has worked at two other carpet showrooms, but says “Grand Avenue Flooring & Interiors stands out because they introduce their licensed and bonded installers at the beginning of the job, and inspect ther work at the end with the customer.” This is to ensure the client is satisfied before they leave the job and call it complete.

Michael Krokower, the newest salesperson, brings many years of knowledge regarding carpet, laminate, hardwood, area rugs, fabric, vinyl, window cover- ings, remnants, and sanding and refinishing of hardwood floors to the business.

The Monterey Bay Friendly Landscapes Re- bate Program offers rebates for rainwater harvesting devices, rain garden and swale installation, impervious surface and lawn replacement. Stevie Kister, Conservation Repre- sentative for the MPWMD, said “When it rains or during the dry season when there is increased irrigation, unimpeded water flows directly to the ocean. Often times, that water is carrying harmful bac- teria which can cause beach closures and damage to the bay. This program aims to reduce that runoff and in turn provide a method for reducing water use.” The program, which is a partnership between the District, the City of Pacific Grove and Ecology Action is based on Low Impact Development (LID) or Rain- scapes, which are landscaping concepts specifically designed to work with nature to manage stormwater and irrigation run- off as close to the source as possible.
