City Administrator Friday Letter - June 28, 2024

The June 28, 2024, Friday Letter from the City Administrator highlights essential community updates and events in Carmel-by-the-Sea. With summer approaching, the letter stresses the importance of blood donations, as the season typically sees a decline in contributions due to school breaks and vacations. Residents are invited to the 4th annual Monterey County Pops! concert at Devendorf Park, which includes an open rehearsal and a performance featuring special guest soprano Judge Stephanie Hulsey. The Carmel Host Lions will also provide food options, including hot dogs and brautwurst meals, for concert-goers.

In observance of Independence Day, all city offices except Public Safety will be closed on July 5th, and residents are reminded to be patient with increased traffic during the holiday. The letter also includes recommended readings for those interested in the history of Carmel-by-the-Sea, showcasing local authors and historians. Overall, the Friday Letter serves to inform and engage the community by promoting local events and encouraging civic participation.
