Lack of Reserves?

Mitchell complains to state about lack of Prunedale water reserves

Supervisor candidate Ed Mitchell will hold a news conference this afternoon, alleging that the Monterey County Board of Supervisors "have failed to enforce mandatory, fire protection State laws and that he has submitted a formal complaint with the State Attorney General’s Office and the Office of the State Fire Marshall."

Mitchell claims that the Pesante-Berta Canyon area of Prunedale has a 45 percent deficiency in water capacity for fire suppression.  Mitchell has a list of actions he is planning to take "if the County does not immediately take action to correct the long-standing safety problem."

Mitchell, a North County resident, is challenging longtime Supervisor Lou Calcagno in 2010.
