Message from the President
To my Del Monte Beach Neighbors,
On April 16, 2026 the DMBNA held a meeting with Mayor Tyller Williamson attended by about 50 neighbors in which he discussed his accomplishments and answered questions offered by those in attendance. Recently the DMBNA held a similar meeting with Mayoral Candidate Vince Malfitano on Thursday, September 3, 2026 which was unfortunately the Labor Day weekend with the accompanying Monterey Fair. We had about 30 neighbors in attendance. Vince presented his visions for the City of Monterey and answered questions from the audience.
MANY NEIGHBORS HAVE EXPRESSED THE DESIRE TO HEAR MORE FROM THE CANDIDATES.
Yesterday a Candidate Forum was held at the Middlebury Institute with limited seating.
