P CONTRACTING From Page 1 Skillshots Joan Skillman sand, pieces of broken pipe, and any other debris from the sanitary sewer lines and sanitary manholes. Daniel Gho pointed out that the City does not own modern, specialized equipment to do many of these jobs. Again, the city does not own specialized equipment so street striping will be contracted to Mike Harvey’s Concrete and Asphalt Services. Under this contract, the work would include traffic striping, pavement markings/markers, and thermoplastic crosswalks on City streets, striping and marking/marker removal by grinding. Gho also pointed out that the work could be done at night by an outside contractor and provide less disruption on city streets. The contract for park and turf mowing of all City parks and ball fields was awarded to Gachina Landscape Management but does not include the cemetery. CourseCo, which will take over the job at the next-door Golf Links, will also perform mowing and turf management at the cemetery. There were objections from a member of the public to staff’s choice of arbor- ist, based on experiences in another city. That portion of the contracting was tabled pending further due diligence. Gho advised that janitorial services, which includes the library and the museum, will remain in-house, as an evaluation of the responses to the request for proposals revealed that city staff can do the job at the lowest cost. No City jobs will be lost. Work now performed by a number of employees in the City would be shifted to the contractors, which will bear all associated costs, according to the agenda report. While the contracts would reduce the necessary number of FTEs in Public Works, the City has held off from filling authorized and vacant positions. Several employees will be taking advantage of the City’s offers for a smooth transition for staff, enabling their “soft landing.” As a result, there is no need for a reduction in force associated with these contracts. “There would be no impacts on members of the Management Employees As- sociation as a result of these contracts. There would be changes in responsibilities and assignments to members of the GEA, however, and to employees in some of the part-time positions (who are not represented),” according to the agenda report. Savings by contracting out the sewer positions will be $125,000 per year. Sav- ings for turf mowing amount to $58,000 annually, while cost to use CourseCo for mowing the cemetery is part of their lease of the Golf Links and is at no additional costs, There is an expected $75,000 savings in equipment and staff by contracting out street striping. A decision on the tree trimming position is expected by the next city Council meeting of March 5. With these agreements and the pending tree trimming one, City Manager Tom Frutchey says that all of the contracting to outside providers that can be done is finished.

Haley’s teacher is Larry Haggquist, English teacher at Pacific Grove High School. Sharmaine’s teacher is Simon Hunt of Santa Catalina School. Both girls were coached by Alec and Kim Murdock.

Our local museum, the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History, is one of the few places in western North America where the public actually can see a passenger pigeon specimen. Researchers wonder: What if passenger pigeons could be brought back from extinction? How could it be done? Might they live again? Ben Novak is on the leading edge of research into reviving the passenger pigeon. In a talk at the PG Museum of Natural History, he will address passenger pigeon natural history, including misconceptions and misunderstandings about how the birds lived. Most exciting, he will discuss the most recent discoveries from his research into sequencing the DNA of passenger pigeons from museum specimens.

Respondents who said it is a good time to sell a house increased 5 percentage points from last month to 38 percent. Fifty-five percent of respondents said mortgage rates will go up in the next 12 months, which is a decrease of two percentage points. The share of people who said home prices will stay the same in the next 12 months increased seven percentage points to 45 percent, while the share who said home prices will go up in the next 12 months fell by six percentage points to 43 percent. Doug Duncan, senior vice president and chief economist at Fannie Mae, com- mented, “The dip in overall home price expectations, though notable, is consistent with our view of moderating home price gains this year from a robust pace last year, while positive trends in perceptions about the economy and personal finances over the next year support our view of stronger growth in the broader economy.” Kevin Stone Monterey County Association of Realtors® 201-A Calle Del Oaks | Del Rey Oaks, CA 93940 (831) 393-8677 DIRECT Try These New Services From Tuscan Kale and Farro Soup Prep time: 40 minutes the Pacific Grove Library Serves 2 Dianne Busse Ingredients ½ cup dry kidney beans, pre-soaked overnight (alternatively, you could use canned How It All Stacks Up beans, drained) ½ cup farro Our Pacific Grove Library has several new offerings which we wish to share with 1 tbsp. tomato paste library card holders so you can take advantage of these free services. 4 cups broth (vegetable or chicken) Friends of the Pacific Grove Library have donated the funds to purchase these op- ¾ cup dry white wine, I used Sauvignon Blanc tions.

She says she first started to pare down their belongings persons concerned with maintaining the beauty and individuality of Pacific Grove; and after her mother passed away. There was “a mountain of stuff” Betty said she had to to educate its citizens and inspire pride in its neighborhoods. sort through. She wanted to spare their two sons. But, the really big incentive was that they lived in a 6,800 square foot home in St. Louis, Missouri, and were moving to a home in Pacific Grove which was only 1,900 square feet. That’s right. Their new home was almost 5,000 square feet smaller. Before, they had enough space, so they didn’t need to face getting rid of the things that made their house a home. This time, it was different. They decided they had to downsize before they moved because they calculated it would cost them 60 cents per pound to move items. Instead, they jettisoned four tons (yes, that’s four tons) of their possessions. The Sproules were not hoarders. They had been married for 40 years, traveled to 49 states and 17 countries. Along the way, they picked up a lot of “stuff.” To make such a dramatic change in their lives, they devised a system. The first thing was to change how they thought about the task. Instead of thinking of it as getting rid of things they loved, which sounded difficult, even painful, they gave the job a positive spin and looked at it as a way to find a new home for the things they owned. They also decided it would be easier to do it a little bit at a time rather than try to do it all at once. That way, it didn’t seem as impossible or overwhelming. The Sproules will share with us specific ways they learned to remove the clutter in their home —and keep it that way. The book is chock full of ways to help you choose what goes and what stays, and how to productively shed yourself of what you decide you will not keep. Their advice is apparently very appealing to readers, because The Stuff Cure is currently in the top 10 percent of Amazon book sales.
