King City City Council meeting recap




A resident who lives with her family in a Mobile Home Park asked the King City City Council at their regular meeting on Tuesday night, March 13 why her garbage bill has gone up by as much as $80 in 1 month and was wondering if the Council could help her resolve this issue? City Manager Steven Adams said that the billing that she is referring to is coming from the Mobile Home Park and that Waste Management has been reaching out to the management people at the park to schedule a meeting to discuss with them ways about lowering garbage costs. Adams went on to say that he’ll be researching this issue further to find out if the city has the authority at all or not to enforce something like this if people are being improperly charged. Adams also stated that there will be a ribbon cutting ceremony for a new King City welcome sign on Friday, March 23 at 12 pm. In other business the Council approved a recommendation to appropriate $15,000 for expenses associated with the purchase and installation of a new heater for the race pool, while Dave Baldwin Director of Energy Management for ENGIE Services provided an update regarding how the King City Solar project is coming along which consists of installing solar panels at the wastewater treatment plant and the city pools along with putting in street lights downtown. Baldwin said that everything has been going very well within the last 5 months and that production is at 124%. Baldwin also indicated that behind the scenes he and his crew are monitoring what's going on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and that they have also been assisting with operations and maintenance work. The Council also discussed for over 30 minutes about if they should move forward at all or not regarding whether to prepare an amendment to the current commercial cannabis ordinance, authorizing permits for Type 10 cannabis license activities restricted to non-storefront retail sales. The Council agreed to have staff research and gather more information on this issue.

Lake San Antonio Closed Due to Large Scale Fish Die Off; Number of Fish Impacted is Increasing and Reason for Die Off Remains Unknown

July 9, 2024- Out of abundance of caution for public health, County of Monterey Parks is closing the Lake San Antonio facility due to a large-scale fish die off from an unknown cause. On July 5, 2024, Parks staff noticed that dead baitfish, mostly shad, began washing up on the shore around Lake San Antonio and immediately contacted California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to report the situation. At that time, the CDFW fisheries biologist stated the fish die off was most likely due to the high temperatures and low dissolved oxygen level in the water and that the situation most likely did not present a risk to the public. Parks staff also contacted the Water Resources Agency (WRA), State Water Resources Control Board and Environmental Health Bureau.   Unfortunately, the fish die off has continued with larger species such as bass, catfish, crappie, carp, and trout being impacted. Attached photos include a 3–4-pound bass.   CDFW, WRA and EHB are working together to try t...
