Pacific Grove City Council met Nov. 5, 2025. The council heard presentations on a countywide Safe Streets Together traffic-safety pilot, a briefing on Flock license-plate-reader camera use, and public updates about the new Kimpton hotel and community events. The council received a closed-session report that it had selected a preferred city‑attorney firm to negotiate an agreement. On action items, staff presented a resolution to set fees for outside hearing officers and to temporarily increase a potable‑water entitlement discount to 60% through February 2026; council discussion on the fees was limited and public comment raised concern about outsourcing. The council also received legal research and public comment about the Historic Resources Inventory and voted to receive the report; later the council directed staff to prepare ordinance amendments to merge the Architectural Review Board and Historic Resources Commission into a single body (historic and architectural resources commission) and begin the public review process (vote: 5–2).
