The Community Cetner continues to make headway. As you drive by 5th Street, you will see that most of the windows are up, and the building is almost fully enclosed. We are excited to see its progress and are beginning to gear up for its programming early next year.

City Manager Report
February 2025
In December, the City had to build an
emergency disposal pond at the City’s
Wastewater Treatment Plant. It was needed
right away due to slow percolation from
high groundwater, large amounts of agwash water coming from the Industrial Business Park and rainwater. The project
was authorized on December 11th and the
contractor (Swift Tectonics) quickly
mobilized on it. They worked 10-hour days
to have it completed by December 24th.
The project was presented with the Project
of the Year Award by the Monterey Bay
Chapter of the American Public Works
Association at their awards ceremony on
February 6th.
