New Monrovia City Manager's First Report

In her first weekly report  ( http://goo.gl/v6f2t ), new City Manager Laurie Lile writes that, "I have been overwhelmed this past week by the friendly and gracious welcome I have received from the entire community."

She also reports that a new four-unit development planned for 212 and 216 West Olive Avenue (see above) incorporates an existing 80-year-old house into the development and the three new two-story units incorporate several of the same design features as the existing house. The developer will probably break ground in early summer.
