George Washington Park Forest Management Plan

Costs would include signage, boulders or curbs, and any staff outreach campaign — not yet estimated.

Overnight Parking of Trailers and Oversized Vehicles

New signage citywide would carry an expense; penalty structures could rise from $100/$200/$500 before towing.

Immigration Enforcement Facilities Resolution

A local museum stands to lose about $57,000 in unpaid federal grant money.

City Manager Appointment

Any change in the City Manager position could affect the city's leadership and, potentially, employment costs, though no financial figures are available.

Chinese Pavilion Project

The city's share is capped at $140,000 under the funding agreement.

Residential permit and variance at 715 Ocean View Blvd.

Compliance with the 15-foot setback costs the owners about 105 square feet of floor area, roughly 3% of the proposed home.

Local Emergency Proclamation

Sandbags and sand are free to residents.

Proposed Dog Park at Hayward Park

The project would be 100% privately funded at roughly $500,000, though the city could face ongoing maintenance costs.

Student e-bike and e-moto safety

Enforcement costs not quantified; police staffing limits mean only three beats cover the whole city.

Future restoration and enhancement of Crespi Pond

Possibly recoverable funds from the decade of unperformed maintenance could support restoration, per public comment.

Visitor Impact Mitigation and Revenue Options

Potential new visitor-related revenue is under study; no amount set yet.

Lighthouse Avenue Parking and Bike Racks

A full stop-sign study at Lighthouse/Congress/Central cost upward of $30,000; a similar study here would need council funding.

Interim City Manager Appointment

The City Manager's salary and contract terms will affect the city budget, but details weren't made public.

Youth Advisory Subcommittee update

Other cities gave youth advisory groups small grants; Greenfield's youth-driven community center topped $20 million.

Use permit request at 408 16th Street

A 72% size increase on a ~2,100-square-foot lot; neighbors say their property values and quality of life would drop if built as designed.

Selecting equity metrics for the task force's framework

A councilmember flagged that a future equity data dashboard will need a maintenance plan and budget.

Monterey One Water Building on Golf Course Near Coral Avenue

The speaker said the Esplanade alternative would cost about $5 million less than the Coral Street site.

Crespi Pond vegetation management results

A biologist monitoring condition could have cost about $250/hour per the Public Works Director; the project itself was budgeted through the city's environmental permitting process.

Historic Preservation Permit for 801 Lighthouse Avenue

The owner says theater revenue is as low as a few hundred dollars a day and the apartments would subsidize keeping the cinema open.

Point Pinos Lighthouse Update

About $117,000 in annual lighthouse revenue with operations roughly breaking even either way.
