City Council to Discuss Goals, Evaluate City Manager and City Attorney
The Monrovia City Council will hold a special session Thursday at 9 a.m. at the Doubletree to set goals, then it will go into closed session to evaluate how the city manager and city attorney are doing. Details.
Comment: May I suggest the city discuss goals for wildlife management. I'm sure we're all happy to live near bears but I don't think we want them inside our houses or ripping up things under our houses. I'm sure we're okay with coyotes, but we don't want them eating our pets. Both are moving further and further into the center of town. This is a foothills problem that should probably be addressed by a consortium of foothills cities. Perhaps Monrovia should take the lead in this.

Mactron 3000 - Not a Robot, But a Dog - An Adorable Dog
Mactron 3000 might sound like a robot or an amusement park ride, but he is very much an adorable dog who is ready for any adventure that comes his way!
Mac is about 1 & ½ years old, and he loves nothing more than running around in the yard and playing non-stop. He leaps from toy to toy and only stops to hop into the puppy pool to cool off.
He’s also a bit of a foodie in that he loves any food that comes his way. Staff and volunteers at Pasadena Humane have been able to harness that enthusiasm to teach Mactron a trick or two.
With Mactron 3000, every day is an adventure waiting to happen, filled with laughter, love and a touch of delightful mischief!

A Moment in Monrovia History: Fire Engines at Lemon Ave. Fire Station
Fire engines at Lemon Ave fire station. I wish there was more detail but I'd guess these are 1920s vehicles. Monrovia's first fire engine was a 1917 Seagrave. From the Myron Hotchkiss collection. See full details here. And here's a picture of the Seagrave.
For more historic photos and papers, see the Monrovia Historical Society’s complete Legacy Project collection here. Learn more about the Monrovia Historical Society here.
