Top issues during term (13)(Environment)
Future restoration and enhancement of Crespi Pond
Possibly recoverable funds from the decade of unperformed maintenance could support restoration, per public comment.
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.
California Coastal National Monument Gateway Initiative
The MOU is non-binding, but commissioners worry unclear insurance and property-damage clauses could create unplanned city expenses in a time of structural deficits.
Crespi Pond permit acreage discrepancy
If mitigation is required, the city could face additional removal work or compliance costs.
Federal environmental policy rollbacks
Promoting safe and responsible wildlife viewing
Email distribution is free; printed brochures would cost hundreds to thousands of dollars annually unless a partner or hotel association pays.
Opposition to offshore drilling and seabed mining
An oil spill could devastate the local coastal economy — the 2015 Refugio spill caused an estimated $3.9 million in lost recreational value alone.
Climate Action and Adaptation Plan Adoption
The plan includes a year-by-year funding roadmap for 2026-2029 and identifies grant sources; commissioners want quantified costs before budget debates.
SB 1383 organics compliance MOU
Ban on sale of filtered tobacco products
Santa Cruz spends over $2 million a year mitigating tobacco waste; Pacific Grove's costs would be smaller given its ten retailers, and enforcement could ride on the county's existing tobacco retail licensing.
Copper roofing and stormwater pollution near Monterey Bay
Copper roofing is a premium upgrade the owners are paying for themselves; any future city ordinance could add costs for builders.
LCP Cypress Tree Protection Policy
Water Heater Electrification Program
Funded by PG&E incentive program; no direct city cost stated.
