The 40-year-old victim, a Mountain View resident and Domino’s employee, was returning to his car after dropping off a pizza at about 9:10 p.m., according to MVPD spokeswoman Liz Wylie. The man was approached by two men dressed in all black. Both pointed a silver, semi-automatic handgun at him and demanded his money and cell phone, which he handed over, Wylie said. Ordered to run back to the apartment complex, he returned to the apartment he had delivered the pizza and called his boss. He did not call police until he returned to work. Officers searched the area for the two men, whom the victim
at the library. So we haven’t had to make it as urgent as other cities might have.” As for what’s next, Figueroa said the MVHA only meets quarterly and hasn’t decided. “We haven’t taken the time to really reflect what the next step is going to be. There is no need to rush into anything at this point in time.” In the meantime, the MVHA runs the city history room in the Mountain View library and continues to receive donated historical items for a future museum, mostly stored in a large shipping container. The MVHA has also launched a Facebook page, facebook.com/MVHistory. V

“Last year was a very good year,” Grimes said. “The statewide reservoirs are in very good shape and our groundwater is in good shape.” If last year had been a dry year, then locals would have likely already seen the district bolstering its conservation campaign, a prospect Santa Clara Valley Water has not considered this season, he added. Weather forecasters are predicting a storm forming in the Pacific will bring wet weather to the Bay Area this week. Rains will do much to clean the region’s smoggy air and bring up temperatures, but according to Grimes it will take a series of wet days before local reservoirs begin taking on more water. “Because it’s been so dry and the ground is so parched, it will take quite a bit of rain before we see any run off into our reservoirs,” Grimes said.
