We explored our Monterey History digital folder for this "Throwback Thursday" and found this wonderful image taken in the 1950's. It looks like it was taken at the corner of Bonifacio and Tyler streets. What do you think?

The Monterey Police Department's (MPD) Monthly Report for January 2021 has just been published. This Report includes information on MPD priorities for the year, staffing protests/rallies, Covid-19 education and enforcement, and much more.

Monthly Reports are located under the Get Informed/Monthly Reports page at montereypolice.org.

Everyone in California will have an opportunity to get vaccinated against COVID-19 at no cost. But our vaccination supply is limited right now. So we’re starting with the groups who are at highest risk, like people with a high chance of exposure and people 65 and older. Sign up to get notified when it's your turn to receive the #COVID19 vaccine: http://myturn.ca.gov #StopTheSpread #EndThePandemic

Thank you Supervisor Askew for this helpful graphic. If you are eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, there are a few different places you can contact to schedule an appointment. For the all of the latest locations, visit http://MontereyCountyCovid19.com

The Monterey County Community Action Partnership (MCCAP) has asked our Housing Programs Office for help in distributing the 2022 - 2023 Community Needs Assessment Survey. The MCCAP mission is to assess the needs of low-income residents of Monterey County and develop, maintain, and evaluate community services that empower low-income individuals and families to improve their quality of life. The survey helps them prioritize services and allocate funding based on community needs. This year of course, all outreach will be done remotely. More information and the link to surveys in English and Spanish are available on the County website at https://www.co.monterey.ca.us/government/departments-i-z/social-services/community-action-partnership/community-engagement#cap

The Parking Division is encouraging residents who would benefit from the parking program to buy an annual permit for $20 that offers 2 free hours of parking in the downtown garages, Cannery Row garage, and Waterfront lot. The link to the form is at monterey.org/parking, or residents can call 646-3935.

Each item is $20 including tax. We have posters, baseball caps, and t-shirts in sizes Med/Lrg/XL. Email webmaster@monterey.org to place your order and schedule pickup and payment in front of the Monterey Public Library.

Here are today's numbers from CHOMP, and comparison to the day before:
