State of Monterey County Report 1999
1.4
Report Card
Don't be misled by attempting to "average" scores across different categories. Each parameter is unique and has its own value. For example, Monterey County generally has excess wastewater treatment capacity, good air quality, large expanses of agricultural land, and plenty of parks and open space. High rankings in these areas do not offset the serious problems we have with roads and highways, water supply, and affordable housing; indeed, these parameters indicate constraints on future development. There are two new indicators in this year's report: land use efficiency and urban growth boundaries. Both of these indicators tell us whether or not existing policies protect one of our most limited resources--the land. Here is the 1999 Monterey County report card:

State of Monterey County 1999--Report Card tracks
Monterey County's progress on land use, the
environment, and infrastructure by providing a
broad qualitative assessment of how well Monterey
County and the cities are planning our future. The
report card ratings are based on a comparison of
established standards, goals, or needs to data
compiled in this report. An "A" indicates Monterey
County excels in relation to a local, state, or
federal standard; a "B" indicates we are above
average; a "C" is average; a "D" is below average;
and an "F" connotes failure.
