The corner of Via Arboles and Munras Ave adjacent to the Super 8 motel currently has no sidewalk or curb cut along Munras Ave. It is not ADA compliant and is a very dangerous area for pedestrians as they have to walk into the oncoming traffic lane and there is a dirt berm and foliage obstructing the view of vehicles driving up to the intersection at Via Arboles., I have had several near-misses with vehicles when I attempt to cross at that intersection. The dirt berm and plantings at that corner need to be removed and a concrete sidewalk needs to be installed along Munras adjacent to the Super 8 motel with a curb cut at that corner to allow safe pedestrian crossing.

This is Phase 1 of plan developed for San Bernabe Drive by previous NIP project. This projects was initially proposed to widen the road and install curb and retaining walls on properties with high slope road margins, with Phase 2 (future) building the sidewalk and further retaining walls.

Given that this project was delayed for a number of years need to review the plans with the neighborhood is essential.

If appropriate, this project can follow a similar 2-phase timeline, or be built all at once if deemed more efficient and cost effective (TBD before voting night).

This section of San Bernabe Dr is a sharp narrow set of curves across a natural gully. The road is too narrow for cars to pass each other safely, and even more dangerous for pedestrians. All adjoining residents, as well as many drivers and pedestrians, support this project.

The neighborhood request is also to have signs with a curve notice and a recommended 15 mph speed limit. We look forward to working with the City to improve the safety for our neighborhood, pedestrians, dog walkers, children, and drivers.

An NCIP-organized meeting at the submitter's home met on Jan 15th, 2020, and was attended by all nearby neighbors plus others. Jeff Krebs presented the plan and everyone agreed this was a dangerous curve and was in full support of the project. This support remains today.

Signs for both freeway entrances on the corner of Munras Avenue and Soledad Drive to assist visitors who are not familiar with the area. Current signage is too close to entrance to Hwy 1 to help those approaching the Munras and Soledad intersection. 2011 Cut-off Project CW-41.

Design for entire block improvements for San Bernabe Dr, between Bartolomea Way and Via Ventura. Investigate widening the roadway and providing a walking area.

Upgrade the basketball court at Via Paraiso Park.

Fund TJE design and environmental work for reconstruction of Mar Vista Drive from Dry Creek to Soledad (~2700 LF of roadway including 7 unsigned intersections). Intent of overall project is removal of adverse crown, construction of curb ramps, bulb outs, and median islands as shown in the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Plan , and potentially and potentially constructing storm water treatment facilities if required. The intent of this project is to produce a shovel-ready project, making the project more competitive for obtain grant funding from SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOLS and COMPLETE STREETS programs.

Install the Expression Swing in toddler, kid, or accessible format at Via Paraiso Park between the baby swings and the benches, near the tire swing. The Expression Swing (http://www.gametime.com/expression) allows two people to face each other while swinging.

Allocate $250,000 for placement of conduit for underground utilities in a residential area scheduled for street restructuring.

Continued management of city wide forest and open space ($400,000). Management of these areas are necessary to minimize the risk of wildfire and encourage good forest health.

The City's Greenbelt System experienced extensive loss of trees and vegetation due to the disastrous storms from January to March 2023 and current. We also continue to lose Monterey Pines and Coastal Live Oaks due to pest, disease, and environmental conditions.

Workwouldconsist of removing fallen trees, underbrush,and unhealthytrees, as well as proactive forest management measures to acknowledge and preserve the City's forestsand parks.

NCIP has always been very supportive of greenbelt maintenance and we are extremely grateful.

Residents have expressed support and interest in undergrounding utility lines.

The reasons to underground are potentially lifesaving and include: 1. theriskoffiresfromdownedutilitylines;

2. the lengthy energy outages and resultant business losses;

3. personal costs and disruption incurred around utility outages;

4. blocked emergency routes from downed poles and lines during weather or fire related emergencies;

5. beautification of our lovely city.

This proposal submitted by Old Town Neighborhood Association and Monterey Undergrounding is for $2,000,000 seed money for undergrounding overhead utility lines in the City of Monterey, an amount suggested to Council and NCIP on February 6, 2024, by the City Manager.

This project prioritizes undergrounding along Del Monte Avenue between Sloat Avenue and Palo Verde Avenue, where main feeder lines broke in March 2023, leaving Pebble Beach, Pacific Grove, and much of Monterey without energy and telecommunication for many days. (The priority of location is subject to change due to circumstances and opportunities.) Funds may also be used if needed to augment the Rule 20A funds available for undergrounding of North Fremont Street under Ordinance No. 3621 C.S. of August 4, 2020. Both roads are main escape routes and of high priority to the safety of Monterey residents and visitors.

Undergrounding means the undergrounding of all utility lines and the removal of poles.

Funds shall go only to the firm(s) contracted to do the planning and undergrounding and to one full time City staff (i.e. Utilities Conversion Program Manager) dedicated to the undergrounding and to establishing the Conversion Master Plan with the Underground Conversion Committee (see below). Any contracted company shall have the skills and experience needed to work efficiently with utility companies, most importantly PG&E. The Utilities Conversion Program Manager shall have the skills and experience needed to work efficiently with utility companies and the Underground Conversion Committee.

This proposal envisions the creation of a city Underground Conversion Committee (“UCC” or “Committee”), as recommended by PG&E in their July 2023 Electric Rule 20 Guidebook. PGE Electric Rule 20 Guidebook Like the other commissions and committees of the City, this is to be a committee consisting of volunteer residents. The idea is to reduce staff costs and to utilize the expertise of the public such as selected members of Monterey Undergrounding, the group of residents meeting and learning about undergrounding issues monthly since 2018. As with other City commissions and committees, staff would provide support to the UCC at monthly meetings and collaborate with the UCC to create recommendations to the City Council. A goal is that required biannual meetings with the PG&E liaison occur with the UCC and staff at these UCC meetings for transparency and inclusion of the public.

The Underground Conversion Committee meetings shall be transparent, meaning legally noticed and available for participation by the public in person and through the remote viewing policy in place by the City, and available for review on the internet after the fact. Underground Conversion Committee members shall receive public comment and recommend to the City Council future undergrounding locations based on the feedback from residents and on financial incentives. The UCC shall work with staff to meet state law requirements such as declaring and facilitating the generation of an undergrounding policy or ordinance where needed and creating an undergrounding Conversion Master Plan as recommended by PG&E.

A parallel funding goal of this project and of the Underground Conversion Committee is to work toward cost sharing through government partnerships and grants. The work of the UCC shall include working with city staff in grant writing and research into state, federal, and county funds available.

The expected benefits of this NCIP project are a safer, more resilient, and more beautiful City.

Fire Stations are critical infrastructure support community and fire department needs, provide emergency response, and house critical equipment. They are staffed 24/7 by fire department staff.

Historically, Fire Station 12 in New Monterey, originally built ni 1951, serves New Monterey, Cannery Row, and the Coast Guard Pier. Rehabilitation consists of roof repairs, termite treatment, repair concrete slab, replace emergency generator, upgrade communications system, replace exterior windows, replace HVAC system, replace exterior deck, kitchen remodel, restrooms and shower remodel, interior paint, new interior flooring, newdomestic hot water heater, lighting upgrade, and resurface parking lot.

Historically, Fire Station 13 in Villa Del Monte, originally built in 1951, serves Villa del Monte, Del Monte Beach, Casanova Oak Knoll, Del Monte Grove/Laguna Grande, City of Sand City, etc. Rehabilitation consists of roof repairs repave parking lot, kitchen remodel, replace exterior windows, replace emergency generator, upgrade communications system, replace HVAC system, restrooms and shower remodel, interior paint, termite treatment, new interior flooring, new domestic hot water heater, lighting upgrade, and library materials locker.

Add 650ft of split rail wooden fence w/ new flags and hardware along Veterans Dr. from the upper flag pole parking lot to the Basketball court.

This will drastically improve safety, helping delineate the basketball court, turf and playground from the fast moving traffic on Veterans Dr.

This will replace the current aging bollards, flags and hardware along the field. In addition it will help complete the updated aesthetic when the Bocce & Basketball courts are renovated and the upper flagpole parking area is repaved.

This Nomination is being sent by Chris Makowski (Veterans Park Attendant) for multiple concerned families and neighbors that frequent the park often.

ALPF license plate readers are installed in Carmel, Pacific Grove, Seaside, Marina and Salinas.

Monterey is the sole exception on the Peninsula. Criminals who just committed a real time crime are tracked city to city except for Monterey.The cameras are police force multipliers, critical in the nationwide shortage of police officers. It many times finds the perpetrators within minutes, acting as a crime deterrent for future criminal activities. All these cities have successfully solved violent crimes, rapes, shootings, robberies, attempted murders and returned stolen cars.

NCIP in the past funded a security camera to over see the Serra Statue on the Lower Presidio, so there is a precedent.

The Automated License Plate Recognition cameras wil sit on top of light posts and traffic lights about 10 to 12 feet in the air and take photos at an angle of the backs of vehicles. The software can gather information about the cars like the make, model and license plate. It alerts police when the vehicle matches the description of cars involved in crimes. Kaster said they are mainly thinking about stolen vehicles, and mass retail theft where groups of people steal several Items at once and run away.

"It's not facial recognition, it's not tied to personal identifying information, and it's not used for traffic enforcement,"

The data is not stored beyond 30 days, and automatically deletes every 30 days unless that vehicle is flagged for an investigative purpose.

Police will also only be able to access the system for investigative purposes. They will have to be working on a crime or looking for a lead on a crime to use the software and not just to "check-up" on a car or individual, according to police.

Hector Soliman, a representative from Flock, said the vehicle images are the only thing that can be captured with the cameras and they cannot pick up audio or be upgraded to do so.

"There's no personal identifiable information in the data that's captured. So it's only images of the backs of vehicles and their license plates. We don't have any personally identifiable information within Flock, there's no DMV records or third-party databases."

The police chief also shared that as a resident of Monterey he would ensure civil liberties are protected. This proposal offers to pay for purchase and installation only, with a limit of $130,000 from this project.

ALPR cameras are set to be presented to the Monterey City Council, please show neighborhood support for this vital crime prevention tool.

DearMembers of the NCIP Board,

I trust this message finds you well. Iam reaching out to share an exciting proposal aimedat improving and expanding the offerings at the Monterey Tennis Center, where I serve as Co-Owner.

Our center currently hosts tennis camps for kids, tennis lessons for adults and children, and manages the Monterey Bay Racquet Club at the Hyatt Regency Monterey, with over 100 pickleball members. To further enrich our services and foster community engagement, we are considering a strategic expansion into pickleball, proposing a name change to the Monterey Racquet Center.

The proposed project involves converting tennis courts 1 and 2 into eight pickleball courts, complete with lighting for evening play. This alternative approach presents an opportunity to offer an appealing pickleball experience without the need for additional traffic on Highway 68, contrary to the Ryan Ranch Pickleball Project.

Understanding the importance of community input, we are committed to obtaining feedback from our local community. We also recognize the need for regulatory compliance and will ensure that we obtain all necessary approvals to proceed. In terms of financing, we estimate that the project for redoing the tennis courts and adding pickleball courts would require an investment in the range of $50,000 to $60,000. We are exploring funding options and potential partnerships to support this endeavor.

Additionally, I am pleased to inform you that we accept Optum Fitness Networks, providing free play opportunities to individuals with Renew Active by UnitedHealthcare or Onepass by Aaptiv insurance plans. This inclusivity aligns with our goal of making our facilities accessible to a wide range o fcommunity members

Upon completion, this project wil bring a total of 25 courts to Monterey, including 7 permanent pickleball courts at the Hyatt, 8 at the Monterey Tennis &Pickleball Center, 2 additional courts at Via Paraiso, and 8 more courts at MPC. Furthermore, Seattle currently boasts the highest number of pickleball courts per capita at 20.5 courts per 100,000 people.

Pickleball Courts Per Capita Ratios:

With 25 Permanent Pickleball Courts:

Population of Monterey: 30,000, Pickleball Courts: 25, Ratio 83.33 courts per 100,000 people

With 17 Permanent Pickleball Courts:

Population of Monterey: 30,000, Pickleball Courts: 17, Ratio 56.67 courts per 100,000 people

We believe this initiative aligns with our mission to create a vibrant community hub for tennis and pickleball enthusiasts alike, contributing positively to downtown Monterey.

However, it is crucial to note that the feasibility of this project hinges on the outcome of the Ryan Ranch Pickleball Project. Should the Ryan Ranch project proceed, it may impact the viability of our proposed expansion. We request yourconsideration and support in light of these circumstances.

We kindly request the opportunity to present this comprehensive proposal in more detail during an upcoming NCIP board meeting. Your support and insights would be invaluable in bringing this vision to fruition.

Thank you for considering our proposal, and we look forward to the possibility of collaborating to enhance the Monterey Tennis Center
