1 comment:
I am very happy the Planning Commission concurred with the Forest & Beach Commission and said no to banning fires on Carmel beach.
The city needs to do more for Carmel Beach cleanup in general. If the city had spent more money for beach cleanup on a regular basis over the years, then the people complaining about the discolored sand on the beach now would not have that to complain about now.
And please budgeting only $10,000 in a $14 million annual budget is nothing.
