City and Chamber of Commerce Thinking About How to Help Restaurants and Other Businesses
Clearly, there are a lot of us on the same wavelength! Just to let you know that City staff has already been mulling the idea of providing additional opportunities for restaurants and other businesses when the time is right…not only on Myrtle, but throughout Monrovia. I know that that the folks at the Chamber are talking about this too.
While we’re still bound by the County and state orders, we’re all looking forward to a time when we can support all of our business community to the fullest.- Brad Haugaard
Monrovia School District Student Information System Hacked
On April 27, Monrovia School District was informed by Aeries, the company that provides the district's student information system, that information for some of the districts the company serves might have been breached.Possible compromised information is: parent and student login information, residents' physical addresses, email addresses, and password hashes. [Password hashes, by the way, won't let you log into an account. They're passwords, but they've basically been turned into hash. - Brad]
All accounts have been locked and Aeries will be sending out a password reset to students and parents.
The district is asking people to login as soon as possible to reset their passwords. For help, call (626) 471-2064.

Opinion - Devote Myrtle Avenue to Restaurant Seating
A friend in Lodi told me his city is considering this plan, and I think it could work in Monrovia.
When it becomes legally possible for restaurants to open, the city could close off Myrtle to vehicle traffic and open the street as a dining area for the adjacent restaurants.
If restaurants are required to have seating spaced at least six feet apart, this would allow them to have - more or less - full seating. And it would be kinda fun, too!
If I want to go north or south in Monrovia, I avoid Myrtle. Too many stop lights and pedestrians. I'm usually only on the street if I'm going somewhere ON Myrtle, so I don't think closing it would be a big inconvenience for drivers.
Also, it need not be a permanent arrangement. This could just be for summer and fall, or just afternoons and evenings.
With the Friday night festival, the city has plenty of experience with closing the street, so planning would mostly involve simply copying the procedures for Friday nights.
I dunno. Just a thought ...

Humane Society Swamped With People Wanting to Adopt a Pet
From the PHS web page (https://is.gd/aCa37H):
"We are extremely grateful to our community for your excitement and willingness to adopt a shelter pet during this time. In the past week, we have received nearly 1,000 adoption applications for adoptable animals in our care. This means that we have more applications than we have animals—while we generally consider this a good problem to have, we also understand that this can be frustrating for people ready to bring a new pet into their lives. While we work to develop a more seamless adoption process, we appreciate your patience and support."
