During a recent city council meeting, members celebrated the success of the recent \"Music in the Park\" event, a tribute to the late singer Selena. Council members expressed gratitude to the organizers, particularly Victor Garcia and city staff, for creating an enjoyable atmosphere that encouraged community participation. The next event is anticipated to be announced soon on social media, with hopes of drawing even larger crowds.
In a critical discussion, council members addressed the impending discontinuation of the on-call service provided by MST (Monterey-Salinas Transit) set for December 31. This service has been vital for residents, with over 4,800 individual boardings recorded in the first half of the year. The council emphasized the urgency of obtaining necessary encroachment permits to prevent a service gap that could significantly impact the community.
Additionally, the meeting highlighted upcoming local events, including the Greenfield Harvest Festival scheduled for October 19-20, featuring a car show, arts and crafts, food vendors, and live music. Residents were also reminded of free tire recycling available throughout September and the deadline for youth basketball camp sign-ups on September 21.
The council concluded with an announcement of a 9/11 remembrance ceremony to be held the following morning at city hall, inviting community members to attend.
