Recreation Board — April 23, 2026
Pacific Grove spends more than it collects each year, reserves are dropping from 41% to 21% over five years, and there's a $21 million backlog of infrastructure needs. A proposed 3/8-cent sales tax could raise about $1 million a year for streets, parks, and public safety.
We'll email you when it's on an upcoming agenda and when it's voted on, at most once a day.
