AFTER DISCOVERING THAT THE CITY?S SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT HAS REACHED ITS WASTE-HANDLING CAPACITY, THE MEMBERS OF THE SOLEDAD CITY COUNCIL IMPOSED A 45-DAY MORATORIUM ON ISSUING BUILDING PERMITS (FOR BUILDINGS THAT WOULD REQUIRE SEWER CONNECTIONS). 218 BUILDINGS (THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN APPROVED) ARE EXEMPT FROM THE MORATORIUM, AS ARE SOME COMMERCIAL PROJECTS (INCLUDING THE SHOPPING CENTER PLANNED FOR THE SOUTH END OF TOWN). SOLEDAD CITY ADMINISTRATORS NOW HAVE 45 DAYS TO EVALUATE THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT, AND EXPLORE WAYS TO INCREASE ITS CAPACITY. AT THE END OF THE 45 DAYS, ADMINISTRATORS COULD ASK FOR AN EXTENSION OF THE MORATORIUM.
A CONFIDENTIAL YOUTH AND FAMILY COUNSELING SERVICE HAS MOVED TO NEW DIGS IN SALINAS. SUNRISE HOUSE, WHICH HAS SERVED THE COMMUNITY FOR MORE THAN 3 DECADES HAS MOVED INTO 106 LINCOLN AVENUE, AND THEY WILL BE HOLDING AN OPEN HOUSE TOMORROW. THAT EVENT IS SCHEDULED TO RUN FROM 11 A.M. UNTIL 1 P.M.
