The county seat of Monterey County, Salinas has population of 155,564, making it the region’s most populous city by a long shot. Author John Steinbeck called Salinas home and set many of his novels in the area, notably East of Eden. (Now it’s home to the National Steinbeck Center, a museum dedicated to the author.) Famous as the “Salad Bowl of the World,” the area is rich in agriculture history and produces strawberries, lettuce, tomatoes, and spinach, among numerous other crops.
The Salinas City Council holds regular public meetings every other Tuesday at 4 p.m. Meetings are livestreamed and archived video of past meetings is available online.
From Monterey County Weekly...
Gloria De La Rosa knows how to throw a party. To the sound of live mariachi, Tex-Mex and cumbia music, she awaits the results of the Nov. 5 election. Even before the results come in, the atmosphere is festive with drinks flowing and supporters dancing on the dance floor at 201 Main in downtown Salinas.
While five seats on the Salinas City Council are on the ballot Nov. 5, there is also attention on the two councilmembers who are not up for reelection this year.

In recent months the city of Salinas has seen an increase in pedestrian fatalities, including the death of a 3-year-old in July, after a driver ran a red light on East Alisal Street.
With Election Day approaching Nov. 5, Salinas City Council might experience more of the same direction – or a sharp shift. Five out of seven seats are up for grabs, including the mayor.
