Pismo Beach Mayor Ed Waage announced he will not seek reelection in November after 18 years of service to the city. Waage spent eight years as a councilman and ten years as the city’s mayor.
I have achieved my main objectives,” Waage said. “I feel like the city is in great shape.”
The city’s new police and fire stations have a ribbon cutting on May 11. There is a new pier and plaza.
“We were selected for the second year in a row as the Best Coastal Small Town by USA Today and, more important, the feedback from our residents is generally positive,” Waage said. “Our businesses are investing in their properties as well.”
