Squid gets uninvited to another secret public meeting, and takes a golf ball to the kisser.

SUPER SOAKED… Coming off a weekend of nonstop entertainment, complete with golf, sunshine and Fifty Shades of Grey, Squid was looking for something fun to do. So Squid decided to invite Squidself to a water meeting.

Here’s where it started: Nonprofit Monterey Coastkeeper sued the Monterey County Water Resources Agency in 2010, arguing MCWRA is required to clean up certain waters that flow into Monterey Bay.

Ken Harris, director of the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board, gave an answer to that question in a Jan. 7 letter to Monterey County Superior Court Judge Thomas Wills. “[We have] determined that MCWRA is a waste discharger,” Harris wrote. Wills said in court Feb. 17 that Harris’ letter pretty much sealed Coastkeeper’s victory. “In a nutshell,” the judge said, “petitioners were right.”

But he held off on a final ruling pending the outcome of a March 3 meeting between MCWRA and state officials. It’s MCWRA’s chance to beg for mercy – and MCWRA’s attorney told Wills the public was welcome to attend.

“This is a meeting that is open to the public,” said attorney Nicole Granquist of Downey Brand, which represents MCWRA.

Squid was delighted by Granquist’s open invitation and planned to show up for the fun. To be courteous, Squid RSVPed, but water board Senior Manager Harvey Packard vetoed Squid’s party plans. “We would prefer to keep it private,” he says. “We need to be able to have an open, frank discussion.”

AIR BALL… Squid’s concerned about the effects of climate change on the seas, but with the summery weather at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am this past weekend, Squid set those worries aside and focused on hustling after Buster, Bill and getting some color in Squid’s pasty complexion.

One worry Squid couldn’t put aside was the ever-present danger of an errant golf ball, especially at a tournament where half the players are amateurs. At least one person doesn’t share Squid’s vigilance, and she wants Pebble Beach to pay for it.

Fresno resident Natalie Kaita filed a suit Feb. 5 against the Pebble Beach Company and the Professional Golfers’ Association (among others), stemming from a Feb. 8, 2013 incident where a mis-hit golf ball struck her in the eye. She is seeking more than $25,000 in damages, and her suit’s cause of action states: “Defendants created… a dangerous condition in and about their business premises… allowing golf balls and/or other objects to fly into partitioned off spectator areas… ”

Kaita’s attorney Roger Bonakdar couldn’t be reached for comment, but Squid has a guess for what this “dangerous condition” is: watching golf.
