The San Carlos Police Department is up for bid... sort of. The City of San Carlos is fielding proposals to take over their police services. They got a bid from the Sheriff's office for $6.7 million but then got underbid by Redwood City, which can do the job for $6.4 or $6 million... which begs the question: is a police department the thing you want to give to the lowest bidder?
The lawns in Menlo Park might get a little brown this summer... the City Council took another step toward a water conservation ordinance. It didn't even raise lots of public concern, apparently. The story only mentions 2 members of the public that were even in the room. There is a 100 percent chance that once this ordinance goes into affect, the Menlo Park Council Chambers will start to fill up...
Watch Dog has to wonder if the water ordinance will help with the MP's deficit, which the Almanac put into a pretty graph for everyone...
It was deer versus mountain lion last weekend in Portola Valley... and the deer lost. Watch Dog loves this part of the story: Residents are advised not to approach mountain lions, and to try to appear large and make noise if one is nearby. The cats are most active at dawn, dusk, and at night... Too bad the deer didn't get the same advisory...
What was once going to be a big new housing development (500+ units) in San Bruno will now be a rebuilt old development with 300+ units. Instead of tearing the Treetops Apartment complex down, it will be rebuilt. Why? Because of money, of course...
