Coffee with the City to focus on storm and flood preparedness

Paso Robles Daily News
October 26, 2026
If you've lived here through a wet winter, you know how fast things can change — a dry creek bed one day, water over the road the next. That's why the City of Paso Robles is hosting Coffee with the City, focused on storm and flood preparedness. City staff will walk through the Paso Prepared work and, more importantly, the practical steps residents can take before the rain arrives.
This is the kind of low-key, high-value morning that's worth penciling in. It's a chance to hear directly from the people who coordinate our emergency response, ask your own questions, and pick up tips you'll actually use — sandbags, alerts, evacuation routes, all of it.
The Paso Robles Daily News flagged the upcoming session, so keep an eye out for the date and location. Bring a neighbor, grab a cup, and get prepared together. It's a small hour that could make a big difference when the next storm rolls through.

Paso RoblesCounty clerk-recorder responds to Justice Department demand for voter information
Our county clerk-recorder, Elaina Cano, is standing her ground after the Justice Department came asking for voter information. Her message is simple: without clear legal authority, her office won't hand over confidential voter data. That's the kind of quiet backbone we should all appreciate — your registration details aren't just paperwork, they're personal. This matters right here in Paso Robles, where local elections decide everything from school boards to water districts. If voters start worrying that their information could be shared without a solid legal reason, trust in the whole process takes a hit. Cano's stance helps protect that trust. The Paso Robles Daily News first reported the story, and it's worth a read. Whatever your politics, keeping voter rolls secure and transparent is a nonpartisan good. We'll be watching to see how this demand plays out at the county level.
Paso RoblesDowntown Paso Robles lighting ceremony returns Nov. 27
Thanksgiving leftovers barely cool before downtown Paso Robles gets its glow on. The Main Street Association's annual Downtown Lighting Ceremony returns Friday, Nov. 27 — the day after the holiday — with candlelight caroling and the flipping of the switch in the city park. It's one of those small-town traditions that makes the 805 feel like the 805, where the holiday season officially starts when our downtown twinkles to life. Bring the kids, grab a warm drink, and sing a little off-key with your neighbors. The Paso Robles Daily News has the details, and this is a lovely excuse to walk the square, support nearby shops, and kick off the season the way we do here. Bundle up — Central Coast evenings get chilly — and come be part of it.
Paso RoblesPublic invited to Oct. 27 hearing on The Landing project at former boys school site
Big news for our northside neighbors: the City is holding a public hearing on Tuesday, Oct. 27, on the development agreement for The Landing — the 140-acre project planned for the old boys school site on Airport Road. This is the community's chance to weigh in before the Planning Commission, and it's the kind of meeting that shapes what Paso Robles looks like for decades. The site has sat quiet for years, so whatever happens here will affect traffic on Airport Road, nearby neighborhoods, and the character of that stretch of town. The Paso Robles Daily News flagged the hearing, and we're glad they did — these are exactly the meetings that slip by when we're busy with soccer practice and harvest season. If you've got opinions about growth, housing, or preserving open space, show up and be heard. Local decisions are made by the locals who show up. Mark your calendar, tell a neighbor, and maybe carpool.
