NMNA City Council Candidate Forum
This event has already passed
The New Monterey Neighborhood Association is pleased to host a Candidate Forum on Wednesday, September 26, 7pm-9pm upstairs in Hilltop Park Center. All Monterey voters are welcome to come and learn more about the people seeking to represent us on City Council for the next four years.
There are two Monterey City Council seats up for a vote this year: those currently held by Libby Downey and Jeff Haferman. At this forum, we'll hear from candidates Mike Dawson, Alan Haffa, Bill McCrone, and Ed Smith. We have also invited incumbent Libby Downey, but have not yet received confirmation of her attendance.
The winners of the City Council seats will have a big say in the direction our City will take on a number of issues. We have to find a new City Manager to replace retiring Fred Meuer and we have big budget issues to face such as the pension problem, how to fund the infrastructure shortfall, and how to stimulate downtown economic growth.
