The full story

Staff described a downtown slate that included replacing the Old Fisherman's Wharf corner boat display, a request to reinstall a historic 'Welcome to Monterey' sign, Hartnell Gulch Creek rehabilitation, and a request to replace the solar panel system at the city office building; staff said outreach to potential rebate or incentive partners returned no available programs and that the existing solar system is not functional.
