Congratulations to Steffen Turoff and Dan Kupferman for their efforts to exceed the expectations of the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Steffen recently presented at a city council meeting and Police Chief Mike Calhoun sent an email stating, “The feedback that I received from council last night illustrates the importance of knowing and understanding the community character and vitality of a city and its people including the residents, businesses, employees, and stakeholders. They all felt that their opinions and concerns regarding the parking issues in Carmel were valued and heard. Mayor Jason Burnett said, ‘We worked together and came up with some very essential goals and objectives that were challenging but important to include in the city’s overall parking management plan. Walker listened to our concerns and provided the exact plan with effective policy measures that we were looking for. We feel very confident going forward implementing the suggested policies to achieve the desired parking goals for Carmel.'”
