Assistant City Manager Erickson summarized events including a six-concert summer series at Sixteenth Street Park (June'August), Grover Beach Night Out with a drone light show and family activities, a Stone Soup Festival coordinated with the Clark Center in August, and fall events including a Sept. 5 movie night and the Sept. 14 Dune Run 5K. Erickson said the Ramona Garden Park project will install an inclusive playground, new restrooms, an event lawn, seating and a band shell.

Jeff Lee, representing the Grover Beach Community Foundation, said the foundation'led \"Your Park, Your Legacy\" fundraiser has sold roughly 60 commemorative 4x8 pavers and one bench, raising about $21,000'$22,000 so far. He said commemorative items will be installed by the park contractor and the foundation will increase outreach now that construction is underway. Lee encouraged the council and staff to promote fundraising at the Stone Soup Festival and local media.

Commission Chair Anita Schauer accepted a council proclamation designating July as Parks and Recreation Month and encouraged residents to track the park renovation progress online; she said Ramona Garden Park will be branded \"Grover Beach, California\" on completion.

Councilmembers thanked staff and volunteers for events planning and the foundation for fundraising; staff said there is no fixed deadline for paver purchases but estimated installation timing around August when bricks will be placed. The band shell naming opportunity is offered for a multi-year recognition; price or formal deadline was not specified at the meeting.

The council received the update; staff and the foundation plan further outreach as construction proceeds.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Grover Beach City Council June 23, 2025, 6 p.m.","oneSentenceSummary","With Ramona Garden Park under construction, city staff outlined a summer events schedule relocated to Sixteenth Street Park and the Grover Beach Community Foundation reported roughly $21,000'$22,000 raised toward Ramona Garden Park pavers, benches and a band shell naming opportunity.","taxTitle","Grover Beach City, San Luis Obispo County, California","taxId",72146,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6178580,"Residents raise water and sewer concerns as Pismo Beach advances Central Coast Blue; city says Grover Beach is not a partner",639,527000,1166000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5213961-696a09b07dc606eb8ec0ef29df9b59dc&start=527&end=1166","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5213961-696a09b07dc606eb8ec0ef29df9b59dc/thumbnail_527000.jpg","/articles/6178580/Grover-Beach-City/San-Luis-Obispo-County/California/Residents-raise-water-and-sewer-concerns-as-Pismo-Beach-advances-Central-Coast-Blue-city-says-Grover-Beach-is-not-a-partner","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6178580-0253274e0c0fef6dcbae0fbcbdcce7b3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771203234&Signature=BwV4BljSZTnCBtszY252iTjTJSjKJysSeBGLk~TiMJmzemolEKXeYGWCRHMD9qeJt9XpPEV992kdVA7VDn9LxEoJpkAztQapP8f9-ZYHx5sBGHDCDeTOJNjBv3pT5cOvI8YHatb7CqTwqbJIDdbzE7DHtXGkW~pPHwaWdJQS74hEQRME~Ff5DVArM46V18HNZLDVdB6RtxOpW-oyovWZMx1dbMwCLWOLjWmr1yHdEkqjy-KCUsoKwK6LWM5hzDHWjeeVkeBzlGQEFbYThGGrznNP7KoVYAxUSBpRTAIiuMkI8R~IJXAXDUVhNinbKhl5bIEvfngq3NUBKXpVatG6QA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Multiple residents told the Grover Beach City Council on June 23 they fear that the Pismo Beach-led Central Coast Blue recycled water/wastewater project could affect local water and sewer systems and asked the council to press for clearer answers.

Brenda Auer, an Auer Real Estate agent and Grover Beach resident, said she attended a Pismo Beach meeting and urged the council to make water availability a precondition for future development approvals: \"If we do any more future builds in Grover Beach, I wanna ask that we do address the water,\" Auer said. \"Let's think about it. Don't put the cart before the horse anymore.\" Other speakers repeated concerns about sewer-rate classifications for new multifamily buildings and asked why homeowners or HOAs were being charged in the ways described by commenters.

City Manager Bronson responded to the council after public comment: \"As a reminder, the city is not part of this project. We have no financial responsibility, no funding associated with this project. We withdrew last year,\" he said. Bronson added that the city has questions and concerns for Pismo Beach and that staff will \"explore our applicable permitting and regulatory requirements, and we'll report this back to the council once this is known.\" Councilmembers said they expected to keep residents informed.

Speakers also said past voters had opposed Central Coast Blue and recalled elected officials who supported it; residents urged the council to represent voter preferences. The council listened but did not take formal action on the project at the June 23 meeting.

The city emphasized it is not financially liable for Central Coast Blue and that any future implications for Grover Beach will be studied and reported back to the council as staff identifies permitting or regulatory responsibilities.","Public commenters urged Grover Beach councilmembers to block or scrutinize connections to Pismo Beach'led Central Coast Blue; City Manager Bronson said Grover Beach withdrew from the project last year and has no financial responsibility, but staff will monitor permitting and regulatory implications.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6178585,"Police outline Fourth of July enforcement: drones, new social-host ordinance take effect June 27",478,1478000,1956000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5213961-696a09b07dc606eb8ec0ef29df9b59dc&start=1478&end=1956","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5213961-696a09b07dc606eb8ec0ef29df9b59dc/thumbnail_1478000.jpg","/articles/6178585/Grover-Beach-City/San-Luis-Obispo-County/California/Police-outline-Fourth-of-July-enforcement-drones-new-social-host-ordinance-take-effect-June-27","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6178585-12cafb6fa47fb3f1f54e7555141ebf77/orig.mp4?Expires=1771203234&Signature=oH9vqkXDuoHKsWhFiTx3Jgovz5ItLAdqqEaHKEiaaaJyC0ABMg5MANZmsLCS4xO-1KzUh0nFqd4awUMGT2BRXLCVcD84sHYuP6qw2fItOQxxV0DTvC0BxfzU9Tz8N1DBTErnzc-2Y8iS1faqmiBEVs1kO~sS1c8kec8VGiL2sYmwFh-Qiw-iRlbrhscySfeEH0uvqMK4fseAN3MELj4mrOyMexojKn4KScdpHomJxLi~Im8QJzsTJvcaSwBvueBR~sPlPD-NWgBEWPKLS61xFoxiXbw3PlNx1jCTMnvi2VWiE1VGLAhIs6YH3Ybi-ugeCnItIuZK9XjtgFqnAAaZhg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Police Chief Jim Monroe told the Grover Beach City Council on June 23 that enforcement efforts for illegal fireworks will increase around the July 4 holiday, using drones and the new social-host ordinance that takes effect June 27.

\"Beginning in 2021, we added drones to our enforcement efforts which have helped,\" Monroe said, describing aerial observation as a way to locate illegal fireworks more effectively than a patrol car. He said fireworks-related calls for service have declined from 299 in 2020 to 98 in 2024 and that the department issued eight citations last year, all during the July 4 period.

Monroe said the police department has launched social-media outreach, sent emails to short-term rental operators and will place electronic road signs informing visitors that fireworks are illegal. He said enforcement will ramp up in the days before July 4, include a substantial presence on the holiday and continue into the weekend: \"we will have staff. It will, you know, incur some overtime costs for our staff coming in on their days off,\" Monroe said, adding that fines may offset some overtime.

Residents spoke during public comment about animals frightened by fireworks and called for stronger action. Catherine Sills said her dog has run off after fireworks that began weeks before July 4. \"This isn't working,\" Sills said.

Council members and speakers urged the department to maintain messaging that distinguishes legal, vendor-approved fireworks from illegal devices, and to continue public education. The city also said it would issue a post-holiday report summarizing enforcement results.

The item was a receive-and-file update; councilmembers asked clarifying questions about outreach methods and timing of the ordinance'the ordinance was passed earlier and becomes enforceable 30 days after adoption, Monroe explained.","Police Chief Jim Monroe told the Grover Beach City Council the department will use drones and a recently adopted social-host ordinance to enforce illegal fireworks over the July 4 period; the ordinance goes into effect June 27 and department outreach is underway.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6178590,"Grover Beach Council adopts $42 million budget, confirms SB1 street project list",269,1194000,1463000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5213961-696a09b07dc606eb8ec0ef29df9b59dc&start=1194&end=1463","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5213961-696a09b07dc606eb8ec0ef29df9b59dc/thumbnail_1194000.jpg","/articles/6178590/Grover-Beach-City/San-Luis-Obispo-County/California/Grover-Beach-Council-adopts-42-million-budget-confirms-SB1-street-project-list","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6178590-0e69951f31cabdfa1eeff6dbc7725562/orig.mp4?Expires=1771203234&Signature=l271pRkFeZuzKVLwDdxG4TOplMjSIyBh0EyG-0DrWE~s4tD-8Ayzkk0hyAemaJ0qdJ8SO-AzV1IDAfz6KPVtOvIzlq89uEATm~lOKm0a~3BJE4jWNvwDDnL1n3X6TStkaicfQ2bAXth9GQKDY01cVwp3LHBzkPKlIX7tngjsJR9lWuZlncgB2SRk2Q8gpdd~ZZRNthNLS5GKsS8wVMGS2V0u9qpdRsb3bTm8AxD0KqmP~5opdFGjmAsSIxLBSO47bcaUAjW~FyvOcUCjiSjZIi6O~Fr878mEb59FpwAsdxokXcojsorExcPV9sr9H6r76Qlzo9F53VI0dU0Nht0Nlw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Grover Beach City Council on June 23 unanimously adopted the fiscal year 2025-26 and 2026-27 budgets, approved the 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program and confirmed a list of street projects funded by Senate Bill 1.

The budget adoption came as part of a consent package the council approved by roll call. City Manager Bronson told the council the adopted budget totals about $42,000,000 and begins July 1.

Council members voted \"yes\" on the consent agenda in a recorded roll call: Mayor Pro Tem Robert, Council member Wyrick, Council member McCrory Driscoll, Council member Tuggle and Mayor Dee. The consent package also included the treasurer's report for May 1'May 31, 2025, and minutes from the June 9 council meeting.

Residents at the meeting urged clearer budget presentations and line-item transparency. Debbie Peterson asked where the public could review fuller budget documents; staff said the city will publish a program-level budget on the website about a month after adoption and will provide additional breakdowns of the \"non-departmental\" category, including the fire agency contract. City Manager Bronson said staff can respond to requests for more detailed line-item information but emphasized the city's published program-level budget focuses on departmental programs and categories.

Public commentators also asked for more disclosure about high-value credit card charges and other specific expenditures; councilmembers and staff acknowledged the requests and committed to continued financial transparency.

Votes at a glance:
- Adoption of FY 2025-26 and 2026-27 budgets and 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program: outcome approved (roll-call yes: Mayor Pro Tem Robert; Council member Wyrick; Council member McCrory Driscoll; Council member Tuggle; Mayor Dee).
- Resolution confirming SB 1-funded street projects: outcome approved (same roll-call).

The council did not pull items for separate discussion; the consent agenda passed as presented. Staff said the final, published program-level budget will appear online in July and that staff will provide additional detail on request.

The council moved on to regular business after adopting the consent agenda.","The Grover Beach City Council unanimously approved the city's fiscal 2025-26 and 2026-27 budgets, the 2026-2030 capital improvement program and a resolution listing SB1-funded street projects during its June 23 meeting.","actionData","errors"]
