Unable and/or unwilling to confront the major issues of the City, including:
• A Vision for the City’s Historical and Cultural Assets. Should all the City’s historical and cultural assets be sacrificed in order to maintain the Sunset Center and Sunset Cultural Center, Inc. management of the Sunset Center? Is the Scout House a disposable historical and cultural asset, similar to the City Council’s view of the Flanders Mansion? Should the City Council maximize the potential of all the City’s historical and cultural assets by annually budgeting for their maintenance and improvements?
• Grand Jury Report on Open Government on a Public Hearing Agenda.
• Local Coastal Program Implementation Violations.
• Mills Act Contracts for Homeowners of Historic Inventory Properties.
• Scout House Historic Resource Status, The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) Compliance, Maintenance and Improvements.
Mayor McCloud, in dictating the City Council agendas, distracts the public with trivia, compared with the major issues confronting the City, including:
• Business License Tax Increase from $0.88/$1,000 of gross receipts per year to $1.00/$1,000 of gross receipts per year, generating $60,000-$70,000 per year, as estimated by the City’s consultant, Ralph Andersen & Associates.
• Sunset Center and Ocean Avenue Median Landscaping.
• Trial Trolley Service between Carmel-by-the-Sea and Pebble Beach.
• City Flag Design.

I concur. The Sunset Center white elephant needs to be sold. It will eventually bankrupt the City.
The Sunset Center, despite SCC's PR, is not a regional theater of the La Jolla Playhouse, The Old Globe, Pasadena Playhouse, Center Theatre Group in L.A., Berkeley Rep Theatre stature, not to mention the Treatre de la Jeune Lune which won the most recent Regional Theatre Tony Award & Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, also a past Tony winner. The grandiose SCC PR is pure hubris.
Lord Baden-Powell, Founder of the Scout movement worldwide, would be turning in his grave!!!
From the Grapevine: SCC is hosting another Producers Guild event. This time it is at The Beach House, Monterey Peninsula Country Club, 17 Mile Drive, Pebble Beach on June 12th. A cocktail & buffet supper with a business presentation and comments and discussion period. All in a feverish attempt to finance their operations...all at Carmel-by-the-Sea taxpayer expense.
