The City of Monterey and the Monterey Peninsula Chamber of Commerce are hosting a breakfast event on Thursday, October 22 at 7:30 am to hear a special presentation from municipal leaders of Shabo, Ukraine. Tickets are available through the Chamber’s website.

What does readiness really look like when your community is on the front line? Join the Monterey Bay Defense Alliance for Readiness and Resilience: Perspectives from Ukraine, a breakfast forum with municipal leaders from Ukraine. They’ll share firsthand how their cities are protecting residents and keeping local economies running under extraordinary pressure, and what those lessons mean for the Monterey Bay, home to one of the nation’s most concentrated clusters of defense education, research, and training.

Moderated by David O’Keefe, the guided panel will be followed by open Q&A. This is a rare chance to hear these perspectives in person, right here in Monterey.

For more information and to register, please visit the Monterey Peninsula Chamber of Commerce website.

Monterey’s Roadmap to Resilience includes Navigation Point 4: “Maximize Revenues and Practice Disciplined Spending.” On July 21, the City Council voted to place Measure S on the ballot to address the extension of current revenue set to otherwise expire next year. Measure S, the City’s existing street infrastructure sales tax, will appear on the November ballot, allowing voters to extend this source of revenue for an additional eight years, through 2035. If approved by voters, revenue would continue to fund local street, sidewalk, stormwater infrastructure, and Americans with Disabilities Act improvements.

At last night’s City Council Meeting, the Mayor and Council recognized three Monterey Sports Center staff members and seven Monterey Fire Department staff members for their quick, skilled, and coordinated actions that saved a life of a Sports Center patron on September 6, 2026.

The MSC aquatic staff members immediately recognized the patron suffering a cardiac incident and successfully rescued the unresponsive patron from the pool and perform CPR until emergency personnel arrived to assume care. The response from the Monterey Fire Department was approximately 5 minutes. The patron was then transported to Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula and made a full recovery.

This outcome reflects the training, readiness, and teamwork of the MSC’s aquatic staff and the Monterey Fire Department. The lifeguards and aquatic staff maintain CPR and first aid certifications and train regularly for this exact kind of emergency. The professionalism and readiness to respond emphasizes the importance of a highly trained and qualified staff in providing for the health and safety of our community. Anda!
