The resolution, introduced by Supervisor Alejo and seconded by Supervisor Askew, was approved unanimously. \"This morning, it is the honor of the County of Monterey Board of Supervisors to honor...one of our rising stars,\" Supervisor Alejo said before calling Adams and her father to the dais.

The board’s presentation cited Adams’s wins at the 2025 AAU Junior Olympic Games in Houston — a 400-meter time of 52.58 seconds and a 200-meter time of 23.42 seconds — and noted she is ranked among the top high school sprinters nationally. The resolution also recognized her 3.88 grade-point average and several school, county and regional records she set this season.

Clara Adams addressed the board and thanked the community. \"I just really appreciate everybody who's had my back, especially, after all the controversy that happened after state,\" she said. Her father and coach, David Adams, told supervisors the recognition was especially meaningful given the difficulties the family had faced publicly this year. \"When you're going through a hard time... I felt that me and Clara was alone,\" he said, adding thanks for the board’s support.

The board invited representatives from federal and state offices to present recognition plaques and certificates; a certificate of congressional recognition from U.S. Rep. Zoe Lofgren and recognitions from Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas’s and State Sen. John Laird’s offices were presented by their staff. Dominic Dursa, district director for the assembly speaker, and Marissa Hernandez, field representative for State Sen. Laird, spoke briefly in support.

The resolution notes the county will prepare a letter supporting the reinstatement of a state title that the family said had been disputed; Supervisor Alejo said the board planned to sign and send such a letter. The ceremonial item required no follow-up action beyond the resolution adoption.

Clara Adams, 16, and her father left the dais with the board resolution, recognition certificates and a county photo for social media. The board recessed to other business after the presentation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","County of Monterey Board of Supervisors Meeting 8/19/25","oneSentenceSummary","The Monterey County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution honoring North Salinas High School sophomore Clara Adams for winning two AAU junior national championships and breaking county records, and proclaimed Aug. 19 as Clara Adams Day.","taxTitle","Monterey County, California","taxId",3728,"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},6490730,"Board approves Pedrazi agricultural subdivision, imposes 10-year deed restrictions on subdivided lots",528,5596000,6124000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5600234-4a870508436f9bbd31e6390654c55b95&start=5596&end=6124","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5600234-4a870508436f9bbd31e6390654c55b95/thumbnail_5596000.jpg","/articles/6490730/Monterey-County/California/Board-approves-Pedrazi-agricultural-subdivision-imposes-10-year-deed-restrictions-on-subdivided-lots","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6490730-1eec2fc98190fb9263d67e9a5c32ae14/orig.mp4?Expires=1775309979&Signature=ANbOnC-dgo36CPgRnKe3fwwlIYNA-MArfEv8lHuz0COnamdB44YGVx0nrSZXtUempssztGb9hiS5~4yrOuEQqvm37-yU-fXGp6SWUsY1VpRczqDNhiKsMHhOo9GrCzNLRXueGqm6tHVabedpnJN0xH64ECAZ0qTJz6Aj7IOrjGP7seBeIMF0VMcPiGb7MY1aLtTlXiMeLBBdKsDjS1Zp7SPoj2KE9nKAms~clsFLcnuOAadVHwPopk4SfNGON2cqRjj1VPhytME-5SWDqo8cDe7gj7bl9V0nbm6jz-uSqt8JJf8TLO0idSexA8KNRm20JRMOy4BGhYh0w20zwvsH5g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Monterey County Board of Supervisors on Aug. 19 approved a tentative subdivision map (PLN 210158) to divide three existing parcels into five parcels plus a remainder for land in the Toro area, finding the project consistent with the Agricultural and Winery Corridor Plan and applicable state law.

Staff planner Jacqueline Nickerson told the board the proposal would subdivide land under an existing Williamson Act contract and that no new structural development would result from the approval. Because one proposed parcel would be smaller than the 40-acre minimum in the zone, staff applied the Ag-Wine Corridor Plan exception allowing parcels down to five acres when strict conditions are met. Staff recommended, and the applicant accepted, deed restrictions and a condition of approval requiring a mitigation monitoring and reporting program. \"Staff finds the proposed agricultural subdivision to meet the county regulations for a standard subdivision tentative map as well as the state's Williamson Act findings,\" Nickerson said.

The board adopted the mitigated negative declaration and approved the tentative map with a nonstandard condition (Condition 17) requiring a note on the final map that future development on parcels a through f will be subject to an approved mitigation monitoring and reporting program. Staff also recommended, and the board authorized, the chair to execute a new or amended agricultural preserve land conservation contract as necessary.

When Supervisor Daniels asked what would happen after the 10-year deed restriction, staff responded that the applicant would be allowed to submit an application for development and that staff would review any proposed development for consistency with applicable policies and regulations. Applicant representative Michael Kling said the subdivision reflected a judicial partition and internal family ownership changes, and that the owners intended to continue agricultural use.

The motion to adopt the mitigated negative declaration and approve PLN 210158 carried unanimously.","The Board of Supervisors approved PLN 210158, the Pedrazi Agricultural Subdivision in the Toro area, adopting a mitigated negative declaration and requiring deed restrictions to limit future development for 10 years on the subdivided parcels to conform with agricultural and winery corridor policies and Williamson Act findings.",{"_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},6490739,"EPA-led cleanup begins at Moss Landing battery fire site; county to publish sampling reports this fall",206,6099000,6305000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5600234-4a870508436f9bbd31e6390654c55b95&start=6099&end=6305","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5600234-4a870508436f9bbd31e6390654c55b95/thumbnail_6099000.jpg","/articles/6490739/Monterey-County/California/EPA-led-cleanup-begins-at-Moss-Landing-battery-fire-site-county-to-publish-sampling-reports-this-fall","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6490739-7c4a1b3804b30e6c527985a19a6884be/orig.mp4?Expires=1775309979&Signature=PAKuN9qdiPpgI05nMvLyTllABejIqq73oR4u~-t5AtJW6Xzy-6-S0BgnFL9697sBijtEtnHkqcT71kazdjes77FExcA8vs08tewOaL~ZcZQWLqlqYHFBT1bltMOmcSwArxARU7z7K5GJv2qWuWlE6VSHcy8kzVx4Swmr60w7cCRcFICz8L-Ql40ITBU8SNN4F4r4ucYrRehHexzW1ZVZihIPZ4iue~V7tquE1WO6IQNCT1ASXXbfQ1uzRevaMZu4sPJ73OthGFmYffqLDeTej~V0xeqIQkp0Bzer3to9M44lDdgIWMbYPhDnfKsBqzFsJ4oA7LkZeCcqZd6xKSklEg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Monterey County staff and residents on Aug. 19 discussed progress and outstanding questions about the cleanup at the Moss Landing battery storage fire site. County environmental and public-works staff said the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has finalized a CERCLA enforceable agreement with the responsible party and on-site activities have begun, with battery removal expected to start in September.

Kelsey Scanlon, county staff providing the update, said the EPA and the responsible party executed a CERCLA agreement (docket cited by staff as \"CERCLA docket number 9-2025-08\") and that structural stabilization, partial demolition and preparatory work are underway to allow safe retrieval of batteries. \"After the stabilization and partial demolition activities are completed, the US EPA expects battery removal will begin in September,\" Scanlon said. She added that dust control and air monitoring measures were in place during work.

Scanlon outlined a timeline for county-coordinated sampling and reporting: a TerraPhase soil sampling report (mid-September 2025), a sediment and surface-water technical report (November 2025), and a preliminary environmental analysis with human-health and ecological screening (December 2025). The county said it would post verified results and technical reports online after internal and peer review.

County public-works staff described sampling logistics and timelines, but several residents urged clearer, faster disclosure of pollutant lists and concentrations. Ed Mitchell, a co-founder of Never Again Moss Landing, said residents have not received a complete list of pollutants found across the fire footprint and urged officials to obtain and release sample results for a pile of burned material the group called \"Ground 0.\" \"We asked the section chief to get us the sample results... We didn't get that,\" Mitchell said.

Another resident, Michelle Clary, said she found hexavalent chromium in a well in Royal Oaks during recent testing and urged stronger county action to protect private wells, livestock and workers. \"Who's gonna take care of my well and make sure it's clean?\" she asked.

Public-works staff told the board the county is coordinating review of lab reports, that TerraPhase and other consultants will produce technical reports for county and state peer review, and that the EPA is the lead for site activities within the fence line. Tom Moss, senior water resource hydrologist for the county, told the board the sampling program should help identify sediment pore-water partitioning for fire-related analytes and that review timelines account for complex analyses such as PAHs, dioxins and furans.

Supervisors expressed residents' frustration at gaps in available information and asked staff to press federal and state partners for clear, public reporting. Supervisor Church said he meets monthly with EPA staff and that the county is asking the agency for additional detail on materials inside the fenced area. The board requested EPA provide an in-person briefing at the county's next monthly update, which staff said was planned for Sept. 16.

No formal board action was taken; the Aug. 19 update was informational and staff said it will return with more detailed results and EPA participation at the September meeting.","Monterey County staff reported that a CERCLA enforceable agreement with the U.S. EPA is in place, on-site stabilization and demolition have begun, and community sampling reports are expected mid-September through December 2025; residents pressed for clearer pollution data and protections for wells and workers.",{"_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},6490754,"Board delays Oak Hills CSA 45 engineer’s report after residents raise concerns over notice and costs",1507,3999000,5506000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5600234-4a870508436f9bbd31e6390654c55b95&start=3999&end=5506","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5600234-4a870508436f9bbd31e6390654c55b95/thumbnail_3999000.jpg","/articles/6490754/Monterey-County/California/Board-delays-Oak-Hills-CSA-45-engineers-report-after-residents-raise-concerns-over-notice-and-costs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6490754-42e0a4563d3676d731638d59bb52b493/orig.mp4?Expires=1775309979&Signature=SQ2ozLdR-XbPQ5YrTH4eEC9fm5z~1XTmrWVOuysl005huhlU-YjQe8eLvOSmf0FMMjSPWFyGeBCRzFqa33hl-rzBNr02DG5To8XXB974NbnRLLQ4uLmDVeZbFPSyxhUbaihORKJnq~3~TXbfK0Ra0Fnq39XhCYImQJSEDSmgyIIDh-DzDQEJGAncpKe~YlOf8AY4SN8OGRxs~xkqK11aI2gWRLAps1K9G8wazMh1x4pJwp2I5Lp28HroNT0l2g1EJ6h3OmZx5V8tm32Ra4gBUt9exXlnbm-43MkZDA-IQHQZAm6jeMDQmTKg-jN55S19vGlyVWsNhjhtiZFgl7Vr3A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Monterey County Board of Supervisors on Aug. 19 voted to delay action on an engineer’s report and Prop. 218 election process for County Service Area 45, an Oak Hills special district, after residents urged the board to postpone the matter and public works staff described potential service shortfalls if funding is not approved.

Supervisor Church moved to delay the item to an undetermined future date to allow additional community outreach; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously. \"I would rather leave a little bit open, but we're gonna make this a real priority to get it resolved here in short order as possible,\" Church said, adding the proposal needed broader outreach to the hundreds of homes in Oak Hills.

Residents who attended or called in said they were surprised by short notice, questioned the size and necessity of an engineering study, and opposed potential tax increases. \"It's a waste of $65,000 for a stupid engineering study to tell us stuff that we already know,\" said resident Mister Gray, who said he would oppose an eventual vote. Alex Rausch, president of the Oak Hills Neighborhood Association and a member of the CSA 45 advisory committee, said the engineer’s report is required for the Prop. 218 process and that property owners will have a vote on any proposed rate increase after the study and public hearings.

Public works staff, including Director Randy Ishii and senior water resource hydrologist Tom Moss, briefed the board on service needs and timing. Staff said CSA 45 has two zones of benefit: 617 parcels pay for a full set of services and another 346 parcels pay only for open space. Moss said the Prop. 218 process and engineer’s report typically take about eight months; delays could push new rates into the following fiscal year. \"We're already on about a three-year cycle to maintain the open space,\" Moss told the board. \"We don't have plans to maintain the open space next fiscal year because of lack of funds.\"

Advisory committee members and Oak Hills residents requested more meetings, better communication, and time to consider alternatives to the engineer’s report process. Several asked the board to postpone so that the advisory committee could hold broader neighborhood outreach and fully explain options for storm drain maintenance, street lighting ownership questions and open-space upkeep.

Supervisor Askew, who seconded the eventual delay motion, urged staff to work with the community to schedule additional meetings and said the county should assist the neighborhood in preparing for the Prop. 218 process. \"We want to work with you... We want this to be successful,\" Askew said.

The board’s delay keeps the item off the immediate calendar; staff said they will coordinate community meetings with the supervisor’s office and return the matter to the board when adequate outreach and material are provided. Public works warned that a longer delay could require reductions in services or pushing necessary maintenance into a later fiscal year if new revenue is not identified.

The record includes multiple public comments opposing the study and urging delay, and advisory committee members said communications from the county had been inconsistent. The board instructed staff to engage with the community and to report back with outreach plans.","Following extensive public comment, the Monterey County Board of Supervisors voted to delay consideration of a Prop. 218 engineer's report for County Service Area (CSA) 45 (Oak Hills) to allow more community outreach and information-sharing; staff warned delays could push needed revenue into the next fiscal year.","actionData","errors"]
