Good
evening,
the
city
of
Arcata
acknowledges
that
the
lands
we
are
located
on
are
the
unseated
ancestral
lands
of
the
wiiat
tribe.
The
land
that
Arcata
rests
on
is
known
in
the
wiat
language,
as
Houdini,
meaning
over
the
woods
or
among
the
Redwoods
past
actions
by
local
state
and
federal
governments
removed
the
WEA
and
other
indigenous
peoples
from
the
land
and
threatened
to
destroy
their
cultural
practices.
The
city
of
Arcata
acknowledges
the
weak
Community
their
Elders,
both
past
and
present,
as
well
as
future
Generations.

To

I

G
Good
evening,
good
evening,
everybody
and
welcome
thank
you
for
this
offer,
or
this
honor
and
we're
really
excited
about
the
event
this
weekend
and
as
as
Stacy

it
runs
from

to
5,
and
we
really
hope

everybody

we
have
entertainment
and
all
kinds
of
fun
and
Frolic
for
everybody.
A
H
My
Alzheimer's
and
brain
awareness,
whereas
there
are
more
than
6
million
Americans
living
with
Alzheimer's
dementia
today
a
figure
that
is
expected
to
grow
to
as
many
as
13
million
by
2050..
If
scientists
do
not
develop
a
cure
or
effective
treatment
and
whereas
one
in
three
seniors
die
with
the
Alzheimer's
or
another
dementia,
it
kills
more
than
breast
cancer,
and
prostate
cancer
combined
between
2002
and
2019.
H
Death
from
heart
disease
has
decreased
by
7.3
percent,
while
deaths
from
Alzheimer's
disease
have
increased
by
145
percent
and
whereas
in
2020
covid-19
contributed
to
17
increase
in
Alzheimer's
and
Dementia
deaths,
and
whereas
more
than
11
million
Americans
provide
unpaid
care
for
people
with
Alzheimer's
and
other
Dementia.
In
2021,
these
caregivers
provided
more
than
18
billion
hours
of
care,
valued
at
nearly
340
billion
dollars,
and
whereas
the
Alzheimer's
disease
is
a
local
issue,
our
friends
and
neighbors
need
to
access
to
support
services
and
resources
to
lessen
the
diseases
impacts
in
Humboldt
County.
H
Held
on
the
summer
solstice
the
longest
day
invites
participants
to
fight
the
darkness
of
Alzheimer
through
a
fundraising
activity
of
their
choice
or
by
wearing
purple.
Now,
therefore,
be
preparing
by
the
city.
Council
of
the
city
of
Arcata
recognizes
June
2023
as
Alzheimer's
and
brain
awareness
months.
The
council
thanks
the
Alzheimer's
Association,
providing
services
to
people
and
families
coping
with
dementia.
It's
signed
by
mayor
Schaefer
and
it's
being
accepted
on
Zoom
by
Kim
Kaleo.
A
A
So
if
you're
planning
on
making
comment,
please
grab
one
of
those
cards
we'll
take
the
first
four
in
person,
then
we'll
go
online,
but
if
we
have
more
time
in
this
15
minute
time
period,
we'll
come
back
to
to
folks
that
are
here
in
in
the
room.
So
again,
this
15
minute
time
period
allows
people
to
address
the
Council
on
matters
that
are
not
on
the
agenda.
A
Please
know
that,
pursuant
to
the
brown
act,
the
council
cannot
discuss
or
take
action
on
items
that
are
not
listed
on
the
posted
agenda
and
at
the
end
of
oral
Communications,
the
council
May,
respond
to
statements
and
supported
requests
that
require
action
will
be
set
for
a
future
agenda.
There
will
also
be
time
for
the
public
to
comment
specifically
on
each
agenda
item
and
again
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
under
item
number
12..
A
A
K
Good
afternoon
everybody,
oh
one
thing:
I,
want
to
ask
the
all
the
members
of
the
city
council
to
personally
thank
the
crew
that
actually
paved
Street
where
I
live.
It
was
a
mess.
It
would
wake
me
up
at
2,
3
o'clock.
In
the
morning
of
all
the
potholes
and
This
Crew
came
in
in
less
than
a
week,
they
cleaned
up
that
year,
old
mess
on
the
D
D
Street
d,
as
in
David
between
10th
and
12th.
K
K
So
that's
going
to
be
your
budget.
What's
coming
up,
another
thing
that
I
have
been
requested
by
Neighbors
for
different
reasons
could
not
come
to
this
meeting.
Please
please
do
not
use
L
Street
for
trucks.
Please
don't
do
that
and
the
other
thing
which
I
feel
very
important
I
thank
the
people
that
are
purchasing
the
old
motels,
but
we
need
to
contact
the
College
of
the
Redwoods
and
Cal
Poly
and
organize
the
homeless
to
work
it
out
to
work
actually
do
the
work.
C
We
are
families
here
gather
for
the
sanctuary
Garden.
We
are
here
to
demand
the
stop
to
hate
crimes.
It
has
been
more
than
12
and
this
is
unsustainable,
unbearable
and
it's
really
it's
a
situation
that
needs
to
stop.
Now
it's
going
to
be
almost
one
year
after
the
first
attack,
so
the
first
thing
I
need
you
to
take
in
your
agenda-
is
the
invitation
of
central
Del
Pueblo
to
come
and
cling
with
us
that
sign,
because
that
sign
it's
saying
something
that
is
suffering
for
the
entire
city,
a
sufferings
for
the
entire
Humble
County.
C
This
cannot
be
called
a
sanctuary
City
with
those
hate
crimes,
and
it's
a
shame
on
this
government
and
it's
a
shame.
I
cannot
listen
more
stories
from
you
or
from
the
police
department
and
need
actions
and
I
made
a
call
of
action
for
all
the
neighbors
that
are
here
and
I'll
make
it
the
same
call
of
actions
for
you,
so
I'm
waiting
for
you
next
week
to
come
and
clean
with
us
that
sign
on
volunteer
hours
as
a
group
as
our
Representatives
representing
every
race
and
every
person
here
migrating
to
Arcada.
C
C
L
L
L
L
L
L
M
That
was
an
important
topic
to
follow.
Gosh
two
minutes
so
first
we'll
introduce
myself
I'm
Jeanette,
Todd
I
am
the
rarely
seen
in
the
public
eye
or
come
up
for
air
co-founder
of
the
fairy
festival
with
shoshana.
Second
I
want
to
take
a
moment
to
celebrate
the
huge
success
of
the
fairy
Festival
last
weekend,
where
we
saw
6
500
attendees
and
for
the
first
time
in
arcata's
history
that
I
know
of
and
I've
been
around
a
while.
We
did
not
use
one
single
disposable
cup
and
I
think
that
that's
a
huge
success
for
Arcada.
M
It's
a
huge
success
for
zero
waste
Etc.
It
could
be
a
headlight
third
I
specifically
came
here
tonight
to
talk
to
the
council
about
the
budget
and
the
flexibility
of
it.
In
years
past
we
have
been
able
to
work
with
the
city
in
a
way
that
would
help
us
reduce
or
donate
permit
fees
for
these
types
of
events,
family
friendly
community
events
that
are
diverse
and
welcome
to
all
people
are
difficult
to
produce
with
really
unsavory
costs.
M
So
I
implore
the
city
council
to
consider
in
their
budget
some
flexibility
to
partner
with
groups
like
ours,
small
non-profits,
who,
what
if
we
did
make
money,
we
would
provide
things
like
scholarships
and
free
camps
for
kids
through
our
non-profit
Redwood
racks,
but
those
fees
just
crush
us.
They
wipe
us
out.
M
A
J
G
I
A
B
B
If
I
bring
more
of
a
presence,
maybe
it
would
cease,
but
like
Brenda
brought
up
within
the
past
year,
I
mean
I
have
a
little
sign
it's
almost
every
other
month,
but
the
last
three
attacks
were
in
the
last
30
days,
so
it's
as
if
the
increase
of
people
and
activity
and
even
the
residents
of
Brenda
and
her
husband,
her
child,
who
we
thought
would
bring
more.
It's
not
really
deterring
these
attacks.
B
We
have
invested
in
a
surveillance
system,
but
those
cameras
have
been
taken
out
one
by
one
or
in
a
group.
Over
time
we've
been
locked
out
of
the
our
own
garden
because
they
bring
their
own
chains,
they've
macheted
growth
that
we
have
had
within
the
garden.
So
it's
just
really
upsetting
that
the
idea
of
brown
bodies
gathering
together
to
foster
a
strong
Community
threatens
a
certain
type
of
community
within
our
community,
so
I
I
would
think.
I
would
like
to
suggest
because
the
presence
of
police
brings
fear.
B
Perhaps
we
could
invest
more
in
the
community
ambassadors,
because
I
know
that
they
overhead
graffiti
abatement
and
a
lot
of
the
things
that
have
happened
have
had
to
do
with
graffiti,
but
these
attacks
also
are
in
the
evening,
so
I'm
not
sure
if
we
can
propose
another
job
that
is
in
the
evening.
That
could
cover
something
like
that.
So
it's
still
Community
Based.
Maybe
it
won't
bring
as
much
fear
but
still
more
eyes
and
yeah
12
attacks
since
July
21st.
N
I
carried
my
food
waste
here,
I've
done
this
before,
but
we
need
to
keep
our
food
waste
and
Humboldt.
This
proposal
to
ship
it
out
needs
to
not
happen.
We
need
to
be
creative
and
do
something
to
compost
in
our
own
Community,
whatever
it's
going
to
take,
and
then
we
also
need
to
reuse
our
cups
for
all
events.
So
thank
you.
A
All
right,
thank
you,
okay,
so
for
our
15
minutes
here
we
are
going
to
be
able
to
take
one
more
in
person
and
then
we're
gonna.
Do
our
one
comment
on
Zoom,
so
you
you
guys
can
fight
over
who
gets
to
be
the
one
last
in-person
one.
So
we
will
take
one
more
comment
in
person
and
we'll
take
our
one
comment
on
zoom
and
that's
our
15
minutes.
O
Hello,
my
name
is
Carlos
seif
lived
in
Arcata
since
2019.
I
moved
600
miles
to
be
here
and
went
from
LA
to
a
place
where
I
could
not
see.
People
like
me,
Center
to
Pueblo,
was
an
opportunity
to
find
a
home
away
from
home
and
to
see
that
home
attacked
to
see
that
home
consistently
brought
into
a
place
of
fear
has
been
hard.
O
We
oftentimes
went
out
the
garden
are
told
by
people
passing
by
not
to
take
it
personally,
but
it
is
personal.
It
always
has
been
personal
as
much
as
we
would
like
to
pretend
that
Arcata
is
a
safe
place.
Sometimes
it
isn't,
and
that's
especially
true
for
people
like
me,
people,
like
my
friends
here
my
question,
I
guess
because
I
know
that
the
legislative
body
cannot
adopt
this.
There
are
procedures.
This
cannot
be
put
on
the
agenda
today.
But
my
question
is:
how
much
longer
do
we
have
to
wait?
O
O
O
I
Q
J
D
I
D
J
J
J
I
I
J
I
J
Q
Q
J
B
A
A
A
A
No,
that's
yeah.
Sorry,
that's
the
15
minutes,
we're
keeping
it
just
to
respect
everybody's
time,
respect
all
of
our
staff.
That's
here
to
to
get
through
this
meeting,
and-
and
thank
you
guys
for
for
making
your
presence
here.
We
we
hear
you
and-
and
thank
you
for
for
being
present
tonight
and
please
feel
free
to
to
email
call
reach
out
to
all
of
us.
Our
phone
numbers
and
emails
are
online
and
we
are
available
that
way
as

So
all
right.

So
the
next
item
on
our
agenda
is
going
to
be

all
matters
on
the

to
be

There's
no

of
these

and
if

required,
that

will
be

to

and
so
at
the

of
the

and
authorize
the
city
manager
to

item
G
to
adopt
resolution
number
223-56.
A
resolution
of
the
governing
body
of
the
city
of
Arcata
authorizing
a
joint
request
for
amendment
to
The
Grove
standard
agreement.
Contract
number

one
hk-17196.
H
R
T
Yeah,
thank
you
mayor
and
council
members.
The
item
is
before
you
to
correct
some
language.
When
we
adopted
this
resolution,
originally
the
state
asked
us
to
use
their
template.
We
pointed
out
to
them
that
the
template
made
it
sound
like
we
were
applying
when,
in
fact,
we
were
amending
to
add
danco's.
G
T
That
they'd
created
for
for
operations
of
the
project
and
they
said,
go
ahead
and
use
it
anyway
and
they've
now
changed
their
mind.
Sorry
not
Danko
for
cada
house
partnership,
they've
changed
their
mind.
They've
asked
us
to
adopt
an
amended
resolution
that
indicates
that
we're
adding
The
Entity
as
opposed
to
applying
for
for
those
funds.
So
this
is
completely
administrative.
J
A
Motion
carries
unanimously.
Thank
you
folks
for
getting
us
through
consent.
There
and
all
right.
That'll
take
us
to
new
business,
which
is
item
a
to
review
the
proposed
budget
for
fiscal
year
2023-24,
and
this
is
going
to
be
our
initial
review
of
the
budget,
and
so
this
is
our
time
that
we
can
make
requests
for
changes.
But
again
we
will
not
be
adopting
this
budget
until
the
June
21st
meeting.
So
it's
the
perfect
time
for
us,
council
members
and
the
public
to
be
able
to
give
feedback.
U
Foreign
vice
mayor
of
city,
council
and
members
of
the
public
just
want
to
briefly
mention
that
this
is
your
first
review,
and
this
is
scheduled
for
public
hearing
on
the
21st,
which
would
be
your
opportunity
to
adopt
it.
But
if,
at
any
point
in
time
tonight
or
over
the
next
couple
weeks,
you
feel
that
you
need
more
time.
We
can
certainly
add
work
sessions
or
extend
that
public
hearing
out,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
you're
you're
comfortable
with
the
budget
when
we
get
to
the
final
so
just
quickly.
U
This
is
the
items
that
we
are
going
to
review
this
evening.
I
picked
this
picture
because
I
really
always
hope
that
the
state
shows
up
with
very
large
checks
to
give
us.
So
it's
a
budget,
that's
kind
of
our
opening,
but
we're
going
to
take
a
quick
view
on
the
council
goals,
priorities
and
and
priority
projects
to
kind
of
put
everything
in
context
of
what
you're
doing
tonight,
because
that's
really
where
the
budget
comes
together,
we'll
do
an
overview
of
the
numbers
which
I
will
try
not
to
be
too
tedious
and
too
in-depth.
U
The
capital
Improvement
program
will
look
at
some
of
the
projects
and
programs
for
this
year.
We'll
take
a
look
at
the
American
Rescue
plan
act
projects
and
some
of
those
highlights
we'll
talk
about
our
plan
for
reducing
the
pension
liability.
We'll
briefly
talk
about
the
potential
for
seeking
new
sources
of
revenue
and
then
just
wrap
it
up
with
a
summary
of
the
Appropriations
limit,
which
is
one
of
our
requirements
as
a
public
entity
to
adopt
every
year
annually.
U
Certainly,
climate
adaptation
and
change
is
something
that
you're
addressing
sustainable
development
is,
is
in
there,
but
not
as
large
Public,
Service,
residential
and
Community
Health
and
then
prepare
for
future
needs
is
one
that
you
really
are
addressing
and
that's
not
just
in
planning
for
the
infrastructure,
that's
going
to
last
30
plus
years,
but
looking
at
the
financial
stability
and
and
really
making
sure
that
we
have
that
set
of
side.
Also.
U
So
again,
I
realize
that
when
we
get
into
the
numbers
there
are
lots
of
numbers
here
and
that
they
are
fairly
small,
but
I
think
it's
important
to
take
a
look
at
this
is
all
of
your
funds.
So
this
is
your
total
budget
expenditures,
revenues
and
the
amount
that
increases
or
decreases
your
fund
balances.
We
are
presenting
four
years
to
give
you
kind
of
a
look
at.
U
U
So
it's
a
comparison
of
where
we
think
we're
going
to
be
and
what
we
we
proposed
as
our
spending
plan
a
year
ago,
so
I'm
going
to
drop
to
the
bottom,
which
is
that
black
line
and
that's
the
increase
to
decrease
and
decreases
to
fund
balance,
and
you
had
an
extraordinary
couple
of
pandemic
years,
which
is
kind
of
in
retrospect,
certainly
not
what
we
expected
anywhere
in
local
government
that
you
would
be
putting
away
a
total
of
13.7
million
dollars
towards
your
fund
balances.
Those
are
huge
numbers.
U
Those
are
significant
savings
that
you
get
to
take
advantage
of.
You
know
in
this
next
year's
budget
and
going
forward
it's
between
19
percent
in
2022
and
23
percent
of
your
expenditure
budget,
which
is
just
phenomenal.
The
other
thing
that
I
would
point
out
is
I,
went
back
and
looked
at
the
budget
that
you
had
originally
adopted
in
fiscal
year
2021
and
it
was
49
million
dollars,
so
you
came
in
almost
14
million
dollars
less
so
obviously
we
understand
the
pandemic,
but
you
really
cut
back
Services.
U
You
really
sort
reacted
to
what
was
the
unknown
Financial
impact
at
that
point
in
time.
Moving
over
to
your
right
hand,
side
you
will
see
by
the
negative
numbers
at
the
bottom
there
that
for
fiscal
year
2023
we
are
going
to
use
about
2.7
million
dollars
of
fem
balance.
That's
approximately
half
of
what
you
budgeted
so
you're
really
coming
in
a
little
bit
better
there,
and
we
are
looking
at
spending
eight
and
eight
point.
Five
million
dollars
next
year
of
fund
balance.
U
So
you
are,
you
are
going
to
spend
more
than
you
bring
in,
but
I
think
it's
really
important
to
jump
back,
to
sort
of
the
top
line
under
revenues,
intergovernmental
and
the
top
line
under
expenditures,
which
is
your
capital
outlay.
For
two
reasons,
one
is
that
just
as
I
I
mentioned
earlier,
Capital
outlay
at
43.7
million
dollars
is
just
phenomenal
and
just
as
an
example,
I
worked
for
a
city
one
one
year
and
I
felt
like
we
had
a
huge
capital
budget.
Our
operating
budget
was
105
million
and
our
capital
budget
was
45
million.
U
It
was
a
third.
Yours
is
54
of
your
total
budget,
which
is
gigantic,
and
the
really
impressive
piece
is
when
you
go
back
to
the
very
top
under
revenues
that
intergovernmental
number
far
right
hand.
Excuse
me
far
right
hand
side
under
fiscal
year,
2024
requested
of
that
36.9
million
dollars
in
an
intergovernmental
revenues.
U
Only
two
and
a
half
is
reoccurring,
so
you
have
34.4
million
dollars
that
is
coming
in
to
pay
for
those
improvements
and
those
those
infrastructure
and
those
Capital
Investments,
which
means
that
we're
we're
paying
about
20
of
it,
and
so
we
are
getting
a
lot
of
bang
for
our
buck
this
year
and
I
want
to
give
kudos
to,
because
this
all
happened
before
me.
I
can't
take
any
credit
at
all
didn't,
but
but
the
staff
that
put
those
grants
together
the
direction
from
city
council
to
to
go
after
them.
The
city
managed
approval
this.
U
This
is
a
big
deal.
This
is
pretty
important
and
I.
Think
like
I
said,
that
is
really
the
the
message
of
this
budget.
A
couple
other
things
that
I
really
want
to
point
out
because
they're
important.
If
you
look
at
your
second
revenue
from
the
top
charges
for
services-
and
you
start
from
the
left
and
move
to
the
right-
you'll
see
that
it
does
increase
sort
of
moderately
every
year
and
that's
really
what's
built
into
your
water
and
wastewater
rates.
That's
what
you're
building
to
pay
for
some
of
this
infrastructure
as
we
go
forward.
U
One
of
the
areas
that
we'll
talk
about
in
a
little
while,
but
I
think
that
probably
will
need
to
be
addressed-
is
that
if
you
look
at
your
taxes,
the
third
line
down
you're
not
seeing
any
growth
and
the
problem
is,
we
are
seeing
growth
in
our
expenditures
and
the
bottom
as
far
as
our
materials
and
services,
and
certainly
our
Personnel
costs
have
gone
up.
So
that
is
certainly
not
keeping
up.
U
Everything
else
is
pretty
much
in
line
I'll
drop
back
down
to
expenditures.
Again,
you
can
see
the
Personnel
Services
increasing
from
21
and
22
in
23
and
24.
We
had
some
jumps
and
those
are
really
twofold.
The
first
is
that
you're
filling
positions
you
had
some
pretty
significant
vacancies
in
those
pandemic
years
and
then
obviously
you're
well
aware
of
the
fact
that
you've
increased
rate,
your
you
know,
wages
to
kind
of
Meet
the
market
and
to
try
to
make
the
city
more.
U
But
to
make
it
more
competitive
when
you're,
when
you're
seeking
out
those
Physicians-
and
it
also
will
include
some
of
the
increased
costs
for
pension
and
health
insurance
I
well,
go
ahead
and
move
to
the
next
slide,
because
the
capital
expenditures
are
such
a
big
portion
of
your
budget
I,
just
kind
of
wanted
to
point
out
where
those
expenditures
are
happening.
Obviously
the
biggest
piece
is
your
waste
water,
that's
more
than
half
at
52
or
22.6
million
dollars.
The
bulk
of
that,
of
course,
is
your
wastewater
treatment
plan
upgrade
and
several
other
projects.
U
So
we're
going
to
move
to
the
overview
of
the
general
fund.
This
pretty
much
should
look
the
same
as
all
funds,
but
it
is
specific
to
your
general
fund
and
just
a
reminder
that
the
general
fund
is
important
because
it's
where
essentially
most
of
your
services
live,
and
it's
also
the
one
that
you
have
the
most
flexibility
with
the
funding.
So
it
becomes
the
most
competitive.
U
When
we
talk
about
using
those
resources
for
programs
and
Staffing
and
and
investments
in
the
future,
again,
you
can
look
at
the
bottom,
we'll
drop
right
to
that
black
line,
which
is
your
increased
decrease
in
fund
balance
or
or
how
much
your
revenues
exceeded
your
expenditures
very
much
like
all
of
your
the
rest
of
your
funds,
the
fiscal
year
2021
and
2022
between
the
two
years,
you
added
by
0.9
million
dollars
to
your
fund
balance.
Just
to
give
you
a
perspective
on
that
that
increased
your
fund
balance
within
two
years
by
70
percent.
U
So
everything
that
you
had
saved
up
until
that
point
over
the
years
you
know
increased
by
70
percent
in
just
those
two
years
you
can
see
by
the
adopted
budget
over
to
the
right
hand,
side
for
2023.
We
did
anticipate
and
plan
on
spending
some
of
that
a
little
bit
on
on
cat.
Some
of
that
was
on
Capital
and
a
few
other
expenses
that
were
agreed
to
through
the
year,
and
we
are
expecting
to
spend
about
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
additional
above
and
beyond
the
revenues
that
will
come
in
in
2024.
U
U
We've
already
talked
about
the
taxes,
but
because
the
bulk
of
the
taxes
come
into
your
general
fund,
you
can
see
that
third
line
down
again
you're
you're
you're
you're,
actually
less
than
flat,
you're
down
a
little
bit
and
and
that's
kind
of
the
trend
that
we're
seeing
with
our
sales
tax
and
our
tot
and
the
property
tax,
which
is
sort
of
the
that
makes
up
the
difference.
They're
just
doesn't
increase
enough
each
year
to
make
up
for
those
other
reductions.
U
The
intergovernmental
I
just
want
to
give
a
shout
out,
because
we
had
that
check
at
the
for
on
the
first
slide.
Essentially,
the
increase
that
you're
seeing
between
the
prime
the
previous
years
and
fiscal
year
2024,
is
about
the
is
the
two
million
dollars
that
we
received
for
Carlson
Parks.
So
you
know
we
have
to
be
thankful
again
for
that
and
everything
else
is
pretty
much
in
line.
U
We
are
moving
a
few
revenues
through
inner
fund
charges
and
transfers
from
funds
and
you'll
see
a
little
bit
of
an
increase
there
when
you
get
back
down
to
the
expenses
just
like
everywhere
else,
but
not
to
anywhere
near
the
extent
you've
got
a
bump
in
capital
outlay
and
again
that
really
is
Carlson
Park.
It's
that
extra
money
that
we
received
this
year,
that
we
we
get
to
spend
we'll
see
about
a
million
dollars
increase
in
our
Personnel
Services
and
again,
that's
really
hoping
to
be
fully
staffed.
U
On
top
of
some
of
the
increased
in
wages
for
bettering
our
recruitment
process
and
the
rest
of
it
is
really
pretty
consistent
with
where
we've
been
so
your
special
Revenue
funds,
these
These
funds
are
probably
going
to
be
the
the
ones
that
are
going
to
go
up
and
down
the
most
from
year
to
year,
and
most
your
special
Revenue
funds
are
funds
that
you
receive
from
other
governments
and,
most
of
it
almost
the
bulk
of
it,
is
going
to
be
in
Grants.
So
it's
going
to
be
one-time
money.
U
It's
going
to
be
money
that
you're
going
to
see
for
one
year
or
two
years,
there's
very
little
reoccurring.
Revenue
in
these
funds,
so
you'll
see
you
can
see
just
looking
at
your
expenditures,
kind
of
the
ups
and
downs
and
because
we
got
a
lot
of
money
sort
of
during
and
after
covid
are
23.
You
know
our
23
and
our
24
budget
years
are
significant
as
far
as
expenditures.
U
Quite
honestly,
I
think
we
will
see
a
trend
in
24
25
and
going
forward
where
those
numbers
will
probably
drop
off.
I.
Think
everybody's
aware
that
the
federal
government
is
starting
to
cut
back
and
even
talking
about
climbing
back
some
of
the
coveted
relief
our
state
went
from
a
very
nice
surplus
of
102
billion
and
now
they're
for
even
just
next
year.
They
are
projecting
I,
think
the
last
number
I
heard
was
32
billion,
but
that
has
even
changed.
U
It's
increased
over
just
the
last
few
months
in
their
projections,
so
those
are
because
that's
where
we're
getting
those
funds
I
think
we're
going
to
see
a
decrease
there.
But
again
this
is
money.
That's
one
time
it's
money
we're
supposed
to
spend.
So
using
up
and
spending
you
know
almost
3.5
million
dollars
this
year.
As
far
as
a
negative
is
a
good
thing,
we're
moving
forward.
U
There's
probably
not
a
lot
to
say
about
Wastewater
other
than
again
that
this
is
where
we're
spending
all
that
Capital.
So
you
can
see
just
if
you
look
starting
on
the
left
hand,
side
the
intergovernmental
revenues
you
can
see
how
much
money
is
coming
in
from
out
outside
entities
to
pay
for
our
capital,
and
if
you
look
at
that,
first
line
under
expenditures
which
is
certainly
you
know
by
far
the
largest
number
in
that
budget.
Is
you
know
the
22.6
million
dollars?
U
You
know
the
bulk
of
it
is
being
paid
for
by
outside
funds,
and
we
are
using
a
little
bit
of
the
fund
balance
that
you
have
saved
up
and
our
Wastewater
fund
you've
been
very
good
about.
The
council
has
been
very
good
about
making
sure
that
the
rates
kind
of
meet
the
needs
on
a
long-term
ongoing
basis
so
that
we
do
have
the
infrastructure
in
place.
That's
necessary.
U
The
water
fund,
not
to
anywhere
near
the
extent
of
your
Wastewater
utility,
has
a
very
similar
picture.
You
can
see
that
you
had
very
little
capital
investment
during
the
coveted
years
and
you
have
certainly
increased
that
with
the
highest
number
being
this
this
next
fiscal
year
for
2024.,
you
can
see
that
we
are
using.
We,
we
gained
some
fund
balance
here
in
2021
2022
and
we
are
using
more
than
more
than
we
gained,
but
you
had
a
pretty
good
capital
reserve
set
aside
for
this
very
purpose.
You've
been
planning
on
this.
U
As
you
are
aware,
we
are
going
to.
If
you
look
at
the
total
revenues,
it's
72
million
dollars,
you're
spending
80.5.
So
you
are
spending
about
eight
and
a
half
million
dollars
above
what
you're
bringing
in
and
really.
If
you
look
at
that
second
line
down
your
special
Revenue
funds,
you
can
see,
and
those
are
predominantly
grants
you
can
see
that
about
three
and
a
half
million
or
or
almost
half
of
it
is
coming
from
that.
U
There
and
that's
what
you
would
expect
the
remainder
there's
a
small
amount
in
your
general
fund
and
the
remainder
is
really
your
utilities.
There's
one
other
place
that
I'll
point
out,
because
I
think
we'll
we'll
need
to
talk
about
it
a
little
bit
in
this
budget
season,
the
third
from
the
bottom
storm
water.
You
can
see
that
we
have
very
little
fund
balance
coming
into
this
year.
It's
a
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars,
and
you
can
see
that
we
are
going
to
be
spending
about.
U
You
know
probably
about
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
more
than
we
are
bringing
in,
and
you
will
end
up
with
a
deficit
of
a
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
dollars
if,
if
we
meet
budget
at
the
end
of
the
year,
the
reason
that
that
beginning
number
for
storm
water,
the
fund
balance,
isn't
less
isn't
more
negative,
is
that
the
the
city
has
been
basically
subsidizing
that
Enterprise
fund
or
that
utility
for
a
number
of
years.
The
revenues
just
don't
meet
the
expenditures.
U
The
npdes
permit
that
we
are
essentially
required
to
meet
the
expectations
of
we
just
don't
have
the
revenue
and
and
part
of
the
reason
I
mentioned,
and
part
of
the
reason
that
we've
shown
it
with
the
deficit
and
not
subsidized
it
right
away
is
so
that
you
know.
Everyone
understands
that
this
is
some
place
where
we're
probably
going
to
have
to
look
at
finding
some
additional
revenue
and
I
anticipate
that
a
a
rate
study
and
that
process
will
be
coming
forward.
U
Again,
because
this
is
so
Capital
driven,
I
thought,
I'd
start
talking
about
the
capital
projects,
and
this
is
really
your
future
planning
and
your
support
for
your
Capital
project
program.
The
top
four
items
here
you've
got
your
Wastewater
configuration
construction,
which
is
by
far
the
largest
17.6
million
dollars
this
year.
The
sewer
inflow
and
infiltration
infiltration,
Reduction
Program,
and
this
is
pretty
exciting.
We
got
a
grant
that
I,
don't
know
that
everybody
thought
we
would
get.
U
So
it's
not
out
of
the
the
local
customers
Pockets,
your
water
line,
improvements,
water
storage,
finishing
tank
1C,
4.5
million
dollars
for
Old
Arcata
Road,
your
annual
pavement
maintenance,
which
I
think
is
every
other
year,
but
that's
a
pretty
substantial
investment
and
does
include
some
arpa
funding
your
sustainable
Transportation
infrastructure
project
because
I,
don't
think
anybody's
talked
about
it.
Much
I
also
wanted
to
point
out
it's
a
small
dollar
item,
but
the
arcade
at
ballpark
Improvement
program
of
250
000
and
then,
of
course,
the
Carlson
Mad
River
Park
Trail.
U
U
These
are
programs,
and-
and
this
is
just
a
select
list,
but
I
really
wanted
to
highlight,
because
these
these
really
do
meet
many
of
the
goals
and
priority
projects
that
you've
set
for
the
year
and
I.
Think
it's
important
to
acknowledge
these
programs.
You
know
the
first
one
is
your
Police
recruitment.
You
know
you
we
stepped
up
and
and
put
together
and
have
budgeted
for
a
pretty
significant
bonuses
to
try
to
increase
the
number
of
officers
that
are
on
the
street
and
working
for
the
city,
and
so
we
will
we'll
start
that
process.
U
You
are
continue
to
support
implementation
of
a
climate
action
plan
with
your
environmental
Outlook,
supporting
Arcata
house
partnership
and
seeking
grants
to
extend
the
safe
parking
program.
Just
as
a
note,
we
are,
the
arpa
funds
will
carry
that
through
September
and
then
those
funds
will
will
be.
We
will
be
spent.
The
implementing
the
Citywide
resident.
Excuse
me
rental
inspection
program,
and
this
really
also
supports,
in
addition
to
the
tenant
protection
policies.
Not
just
all
of
your
citizens,
but
it
also,
you
know,
is
a
good
furthers.
U
Your
relationship
with
Cal
Poly
and
the
student
bodies
that
are
coming
in
there
paperless
council,
meeting
packets,
solar
and
electric
upgrades
to
the
community
center
coordinating
efforts
on
the
Arcata
Chinatown
project
through
Equity
Arcata.
Just
a
reminder.
The
this
is
a
project
that
we'll
be
finishing
up
but
you'll
be
opening
your
second
home
key
in
this
next
fiscal
year.
U
Talking
about
your
homeless
strategy
and
then
just
simple,
and
you
can
kind
of
see
the
bus
outline
in
the
back
there.
But
securing
funding
for
a
free
bus
service
this
summer
is
also
just
a
project
that
isn't
going
to
show
up
from
a
budgetary
standpoint,
but
it's
a
big
one
which
leads
us
to
the
American
Rescue
plan
act.
Just
a
reminder:
you
received
4.4
million
dollars.
You
have
initially
allocated
all
of
the
projects
for
that.
A
few
of
them
are
listed
here,
including
some
of
the
the
minor
changes
that
we're
making
this
year.
U
We
anticipate
that
they'll
probably
be
another
half
a
half
a
million
dollars
that
will
come
back
to
you
at
mid-year
budget
next
year
for
probably
reallocation
or
looking
at
how
to
make
sure
that
we
how
to
ensure
that
we
spend
those
funds
before
the
end
of
the
calendar
year.
2024
again,
you
know
these
are
funds
that
are
there's
some
talk
about
trying
to
claw
them
back
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
properly
spent
them
and
we
don't
lose
them.
U
The
Valley
West
neighborhood
support
was
the
number
one
project
listed
on
your
arpa
fence.
That's
supporting
kuna
I'll
mention
this
here
and
down
below
it.
Also
we're
looking
at
we've
set
aside
100
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
for
The
Woodsman
Hall
in
Valley
West
for
a
community
center,
potentially
a
police
in
police,
Annex,
meeting
space
and
other
office
space,
and
so
that
will
probably
come
back
to
the
council
shortly.
You
you
set
aside
quite
a
bit
of
money
for
economic
recovery
and
there's
some
projects
built
into
the
budget
next
year.
U
U
Let
me
yes,
adaption
measures,
I
mentioned
Woodsman
hall,
and
then
one
thing
that
has
changed
is
that
we
have
increased
the
we've
moved
money
to
City
Staffing,
and
this
is
the
five
positions
that
you
all
funded
last
year
that
had
been
laid
off
or
had
been
set
aside
for
saving
budget.
We
are
asking
to
continue
that
into
this
second
year
we've
got
a
200
000
new
reallocated
dollars
and
150
000.
U
The
Calpers
unfunded
liability
I
did
not
include
in
that
80.5
million
dollars,
because
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
separated
it
out.
It's
also
talking
about
the
seven
and
a
half
million
dollar
investment
that
we've
we've
discussed
with
the
council.
Prior
to
this
is
a
big
number
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
kind
of
set
it
aside,
and
we
talk
about
the
fact
that
it
will
be
using
flood
balance
and
it
is
an
investment
in
our
future
and
certainly
will
save
more
money
than
it
costs.
U
So
it
is
a
good
thing,
something
that's
come
up
the
several
times
that
we
have
talked
about
the
Calpers
unfunded
pension
liability
in
the
past
is
sort
of
the
idea
that
this
might
be
unique
to
Arcata
and
honestly
I
kind
of
wish.
It
was
because
this
is
this
is
a
Statewide
issue.
You
know
our
school
systems,
our
state
governments
and
then
many
of
our
local
public
agencies
are
all
in
the
same
boat
that
we
are.
U
So
when
you
look
at
the
total
unfunded
liability
number
here,
unfortunately,
you
probably
need
to
increase
all
of
those
by
about
a
third
more
and
the
funded
status
would
probably
drop
somewhere
between
8
to
10
percentage
points.
So
this
was
what's
available
to
us
because
it's
the
most
current
information
Calpers
presents
and
I
wanted
it
to
all
be
equal,
but
it's
sort
of
an
interesting
picture
of
sort
of
where
everybody
else
stands.
U
Just
a
few
comments
on
some
things
that
I'm
aware
of
I
picked
the
top
one
San
Luis
Obispo
City,
because
I
thought:
oh,
they
have
another
Cal
Poly
I'm
curious,
but
they
they
certainly
I,
would
assume
they're
a
little
more
Progressive.
They
seem
to
have
a
bigger
community
and
more
funding
to
pull
from,
but
they're
they're
pretty
low
funded
at
70.1
percent
city
of
Eureka
I
wanted
to
just
show
so
some
of
our
other
local
entities,
Humboldt
Bay,
Fire
and
Joint
power.
U
You
can
see
that
they're
at
77.1
percent,
funded
Humboldt
County
has
a
two:
almost
a
250
million
dollar
unfunded
liability.
There
that's
78.5
percent,
funded
Oroville,
Dixon
and
arroya
Vista
and
American
Canyon
were
all
entities
I
picked
because
they
were
about
the
same
size
and
again
they're
they're.
All
within
you
know,
10
points
above
and
below
us
two
that
stand
out
at
the
very
bottom
of
the
list:
the
city
of
American
Canyon.
It
looks
like
they're
in
great
shape,
which
is
wonderful
when
I
looked
them
up.
U
Part
of
the
reason
for
that
is
that
they
don't
have
their
own
police
department.
They
contract
with
the
county
sheriff
so
they're,
not
carrying
that
debt
on
their
books,
and
then
the
city
of
Ukiah
is
103
funded,
which
is
awesome,
but
they
issued
about
50
million
dollars
in
bonds
back
in
2021
and
paid
off
their
debt.
So
they
paid
it
off
with
Calpers,
but
they
still
have
a
you
know:
a
payment,
a
debt
obligation
on
their
books.
U
So
just
a
reminder:
this
is
not
new
from
what
we've
recommended.
At
the
last
time
we
talked
about
pension
liability.
We
are
proposing
that
we
make
a
five
million
dollar
one-time
payment
to
Calpers.
It
would
be
funded
from
the
general
fund,
water
and
then
waste
water
based
on
the
the
employee
representation
there.
In
addition
to
that,
we
are
suggesting
that
we
establish
a
115
trust
and
we
make
an
initial
deposit
of
2.5
million
dollars.
U
It's
earning
more
interest
than
it
would
if
we
kept
it
in
our
city
treasury,
but
we
could
offset
our
annual
obligation
to
our
pension
contributions
at
any
point
in
time
that
it
became
necessary
by
also
opening
up
this
account.
It
gives
us
a
place
that
if
we
have
any
other
years
going
forward
where
we
might
have
a
surplus
or
we
feel
like,
we
can
spare
a
little
bit
of
money,
we
can
set
it
aside,
but
we
haven't
completely.
We
haven't
completely
lost
control
of
it
and
it
it
gives
us
again
an
additional
reserve.
U
It
will
stay
on
our
books
as
an
asset
as
opposed
to
just
paying
Calpers
where
it
it's
gone.
The
second
piece
of
this
is
the
Fresh
Start
we'd
like
to
re-amortize
pay
that
off
and
then
reamortize
our
unfunded
liability
out
15
years.
It
cuts
it
a
little
bit
shorter,
but
it
does
save
us
quite
a
bit
of
interest
and
then
we
would
Target
paying
that
off
in
10
years.
U
In
addition
to
that,
we
would
recommend
that,
as
a
part
of
this
next
year's
process,
we
develop
a
funding
policy
and
then
every
year
going
forward
during
this
period
of
time.
When
we
take
a
look
at
our
budget,
we
would
look
at
the
pension
obligation,
we'd
reevaluate,
what
we're
paying,
where
we're
at
and
have
an
opportunity
to
sort
of
revise
that
plan
as
we
go
forward.
U
So
this
talks
about
sort
of
one
of
the
the
particles
and
the
discussions
that
we've
had
regarding
the
potential
for
for
new
and
additional
Revenue
sources.
We've
had
a
few
conversations
about
the
the
potential
for
taking
a
transaction
use,
tax
ballot
measure
to
the
voters
in
the
spring
of
next
year.
In
the
primaries,
and
at
this
point,
staff
is
recommending
that
the
city
council
direct
the
transaction
and
use
tax
oversight
committee
to
review
and
evaluate
potential
ballot
questions.
U
This
would
give
a
group
that
otherwise
only
has
a
mandatory
meeting
once
a
year,
a
real
goal,
a
real
mission
to
dig
into
this
issue
and
to
really
to
look
at
what's
the
right
amount?
What
do
we
need?
What
does
the
public
actually
want
to
fund
and
what
would
they
support
the
process
that
we
would
go
about
that
and
then
even
the
piece
about
education?
How
do
we
educate
the
public
and
the
voters
about
why
we're
asking
for
it
and
what
it
would
be
used
for,
just
as
a
reminder
about
every
quarter?
U
We
keep
talking
about
a
recession
and
so
and
I
I
pay
attention
to
the
Wall
Street
Journal
regularly
to
try
to
keep
in
touch
with
what's
happening
and
I
looked
last
weekend
on
their
economy
page,
and
these
were
three
headlines
that
hit
me
and
the
the
ironic
part
is
that
the
first
two
are
completely
opposite
opinions.
One
basically
says
that
we
have
such
a
strong
labor
market,
we're
far
from
recession,
we're
not
there.
It's
not
going
to
happen
anytime
soon.
U
U
So
when
there
are
downturns,
particularly
in
the
in
the
dot
in
the
tech,
indust
Industries,
those
earnings
get
hit
pretty
hard,
and
that's
really
where
that
happened,
and
this
graph
just
happens
to
show
you.
The
average
weekly
wages
changes
in
21
22
from
the
prior
year
in
select
counties.
But
you
can
see
that
the
largest
decrease
in
wages
happened
in
San,
Francisco
county.
The
second
one
was
San
Mateo,
County
and
third
was
Santa
Clara.
Some
of
our
you
know
most
wealthy
counties
in
this
state.
U
So
it
gives
you
a
little
insight
as
to
why
that
happened
so
quickly.
These
are
two
graphs
that
I
pulled
from
the
California
legislative
analysis
office.
They
basically
do
Revenue
updates
periodically
and,
on
the
left
hand
side
you
can
see
the
impact
of
the
personal
income
taxes
in
2022,
the
big
change
that
happens.
We
lose
about
I,
think
it's
20
million
20
billion.
U
This
is
just
it
in
anticipation
of
not
having
that
same
level
of
earnings,
so
it
kind
of
highlights
how
quickly
and
how
dependent
our
state
budget
is
on
on
our
high
wage
earners,
so
kind
of
wrapping
it
up
with
our
last
sort
of
requirement.
The
Appropriations
limit,
or
the
Gan
limit,
is
something
that
we
are
required
to
do
every
year
by
June
30th,
it's
a
fairly
simple
calculation.
U
Basically,
we
take
our
appropriation
limit
from
the
previous
year
and
we're
allowed
to
adjust
it
for
an
inflationary
or
Price
factor
and
an
increase
or
decrease
in
the
population.
You
can
see
the
calculation
here
we
get
to
increase
it
about
1.6
million
dollars.
It
puts
us
just
below
20
million
dollars
for
our
limit
for
the
upcoming
budget
year,
something
that
is
new
this
year
and
it's
the
the
darker
line
about
two-thirds
of
the
way
down.
Add
back
state
state
of
California
subvention.
U
So
this
is
new,
so
in
2122
the
state
ran
into
a
problem
where
they
were
exceeding
their
appropriation
limit
and
basically
needed
to
move
some
Revenue
to
other
local
agencies.
They
looked
at
the
cities
that
had
capacity
who
basically
were
well
below
their
limit,
and
we
are
the
city
of
Arcata
was
one
of
them,
so
they
have
allocated
4.9
million
dollars
that
they
are
kind
of
Shifting
to
us.
That
we've
been
asked
to
pick
that
up.
The
good
thing
is
that
we
do
have
the
capacity
you
can
see
the
adjusted
Appropriations
subtracting.
U
That
out
is
just
over
15
million.
Our
revenues
that
are
subject
to
the
appropriation
limit
are
about
13.5
million,
so
we
do
have
about
a
1.5
million
buffer
there
and
we'll
watch
that
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
end
up
getting
in
trouble,
because
that
money
was
moved
over.
The
state
has
said
that
if
we,
if
we
run
into
an
issue
where
we
can't
meet
our
appropriation
limit,
we
can
essentially
tell
them
to
take
that
money
back.
U
I
I
So
it's
saying:
okay,
let's
take
this
100
million
that
were
over
and
let's
make
it
be
counted
on
different
cities
books
and
they
targeted
cities
where
they've,
given
a
lot
of
grant
money,
we
gave
you
all
of
this
Revenue,
but
you've
got
to
count
some
of
this
against
your
your
limit.
So
it's
that
is
not
actual
dollars
going
back
and.
U
Forth-
and
it
is
something
that
you
know
it
will
be
interesting
to
see
with
their
deficit
position.
This
could
could
be
re-looked
at
pretty
quickly
and
and
may
change
even
well
doing
that
calculation.
One
of
the
things
that
we
get
to
adjust
for
is
is,
as
I
said,
population
and
I
thought.
This
was
interesting.
This
is
all
of
the
entities,
including
unincorporated
County
and
Humboldt
County,
and,
as
you
can
see
at
the
Top
Line,
we
are
the
only
jurisdiction
that
increased
our
population
in
the
last
year,
but
I
thought
that
was
interesting.
U
And
kind
of
wrapping
up
my
piece
of
the
presentation,
just
a
few
other
things
that
I
I,
would
ask
the
council
to
consider
and
make
a
decision
on
before
we
adopt
the
budget
is
we
do
have
a
request
for
approval
for
a
project
manager,
assistant
engineer.
This
would
be
funded
with
some
of
our
grants,
particularly
our
Capital
project
grants,
and
there
is
sort
of
a
chicken
and
an
egg
here
in
that.
In
order
to
get
those
projects
done,
we
really
do
need
the
additional
staff
resources
to
get
the
work
done.
U
So
it
is
something
that
is
being
recommended
again.
I
mentioned
this
earlier.
Just
keep
in
the
back
of
your
mind,
the
idea
of
Shifting
arpa
funds,
so
that
we
make
sure
that
we
use
those
and
spend
those
I
kind
of
wanted
to
mention
also
that
I
feel
pretty
good
about
where
the
city
stands
this
year
in
fiscal
year,
24
20,
23,
24
excuse
me,
2425
does
have
some
challenges
and
I
just
kind
of
want
to
paint
a
picture,
so
we
can
start
looking
out
a
little
farther.
U
If
you
remember,
we've
got
that
1.3
million
dollar
increase
in
our
Calpers
pension
contributions,
and
the
challenge
here
is
that
no,
no
matter
what
we
do
this
year
to
pay
those
down,
because
the
actuarials
and
their
calculations
are
always
two
years
behind.
We
won't
see
the
results
of
that
until
25
26,
so
we
will
end
up
with
a
with
a
year
where
we
end
up
increasing
those
funds
again.
A
Great,
thank
you
so
much
Tabitha,
all
right
so
I'd
like
to
have
the
council
start
with
any
questions,
things
that
need
to
be
clarified,
but
before
we
really
go
into
much
discussion
or
comments
or
changings
I'd
like
to
to
take
public
comment
before
we
do
that.
So
do
we
have
any
clarifying
questions
from
the
council.
E
Sure,
first
of
all,
thank
you
staff
for
all
the
grants.
You
guys
really
Kudos
so
Tabitha.
When
we
met
to
discuss
the
budget,
we
were
talking
about
Enterprise
funds.
Is
there
a
screen
that
you
is
there
anything
with?
Because
I
do
understand?
You
know
the
importance
of
next
year
and
making
sure
that
we
have
reserves,
and
so
so
I'm
looking
at
enterprise
Enterprise
funds
like
661
through
666.
yeah.
U
So
so,
actually
this
slide,
probably
and
I-
wasn't
going
to
use
this,
but
I
had
it
so
I'll
pull
it
up.
So
this
this
slide,
I
show
sort
of
what
we're
recommending
our
reserves
be,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
are
recommending
is
moving
from
25
in
our
general
fund
stabilization
Reserve
to
30
percent.
U
2023
estimated
fund
balances.
Excuse
me,
it
shows
you
where
we
would
be
and
what
would
happen.
The
other
thing
this
just
is
sort
of
sort
of
just
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
in
mind
the
one-time
pension
payments
and
then
the
money
that
we
would
place
in
the
115
trust,
and
you
can
see
I
don't
have
those
as
an
outgoing
I
have
those
netting
out,
because
they'll
still
be
an
asset
on
our
books.
They'll
still
be
available
for
limited
use
towards
our
annual
pension
payments.
E
U
We
are
using
some
of
the
reserves
that
have
been
built
up
in
that
fund
to
pay
for
those,
and
then
we've
also
added
an
additional
kind
of
payment
that
all
of
the
Departments
that
use
Vehicles
will
pay
in.
That
adds
up
to
five
hundred
thousand
dollars.
So
we
can
start
replenishing
that
replacement
fund
and
we
have
funds
going
forward.
So
it's
another
place
to
sort
of
make
sure
that
we
are
planning
for
the
future
and
making
sure
that
we
have
the
the
infrastructure
and
the
assets
that
we
need.
Yeah.
E
U
F
First
of
all,
thank
you
for
taking
the
time
to
meet
with
us
one
on
one
to
go
over
this
that
it.
It
offered
a
lot
of
clarification,
because
this
is
a
lot
to
absorb.
So
I
appreciate
you
taking
the
time.
I
just
have
a
couple
questions
one
and
I
I,
don't
know
what
slide
it
was
on,
but
it
showed
that
for
2024
requested
I
think
it
was.
It
was
money
and
the
waste
for
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
and
it
showed
a
negative
1.5
million.
F
U
V
U
Can
see
the
1.5
million
dollars
and
we
are
using
1.5
million
dollars
of
fund
balance
here
and
if
you
look,
you
can
kind
of
see
part
of
the
reason
why
the
intergovernmental
Revenue
at
the
top
under
2024
is
18
million
dollars.
So
that's
the
grants
we're
receiving
that
we're
getting
in.
We
still
are
spending
some
money
out
of
pocket
and
that's
the
22.6
million
dollars.
It's
not.
We
still
have
an
offset
because
of
the
revenues
we're
bringing
in,
but
it's
not
quite
enough
to
cover
that
year.
U
U
U
U
I
get
direction
to
to
do
that.
We'll
go
ahead.
It
is.
It
is
in
draft
format
in
your
budget
document.
If
we
get
the
direction
to
do
that,
we
would
go
ahead
and
transfer
that
that's
not
it's
a
policy.
It's
not
actually
an
expenditure,
because
the
money
is
just
moving
from
from
unreserved
to
reserved.
But
if
you
give
me
direction
to
do
that,
we'll
build
it
into
the
process.
S
U
I
can
so
we're
look
first
of
all,
if
you
go
back
and
look
out
to
2021
and
2022
we're
down
from
those
years
and
that's
not
surprising.
We've
we've
converted
hotel
rooms
and
hotels
and
we've
also
had
the
influx
of
the
Cal
Poly
built
into
those
those
numbers.
We
added
in
a
the
offset
that
we
we
expect
to
receive
from
Cal
Poly.
They
have
made
assurances
that
they
will
make
up
the
difference
for
the
hotel
rooms
that
are
being
converted
to
student
housing.
U
Exactly
and
and
the
challenge
we
we
are
keeping
it
a
little
bit
open
and
that
we
don't
know
by
by
reducing
the
total
number
of
hotel
rooms
available
in
Arcata,
there's
likely
to
be
higher
occupancy
rates
at
the
other
hotels
and
potentially
higher
rates
charged.
So
some
of
that
could
be
offset
as
just
part
of
the
market.
U
S
S
A
E
U
Not
one
of
the
challenges
is
that
that
middle
column,
the
fiscal
year
2223
budget,
were
there's
a
lot
of
unknowns
as
far
as
what
we've
spent
to
date,
there's
a
few
challenges
and
I
don't
believe
that
we
will
have
spent
the
2.9
Million
Dollars.
In
fact,
I
think
it's
probably
going
to
be
quite
a
bit
less.
Some
of
that
has
already
been
rolled.
U
The
2324
budget,
but
you
know,
there's
some
things
like
the
missed
contract.
We
don't
have
any
Billings
on
that.
You
know.
We've
got
quite
a
few
that
we're
waiting
on
other
entities
to
bill
us
so
that
we
know
what
we've
spent
so
I.
We
will
probably
have
to
bring
it
back
at
mid-year,
but
I
suspect
that
there's
probably
about
five
hundred
thousand
dollars.
That
will
come
back
to
you
as
being
sort
of
not
spent
that
we'll
have
to
reallocate
do.
A
And
I
I
think
kind
of-
and
we
can
talk
about
this
more
but
I,
don't
remember
who
said
it,
but
some
somebody
at
one
point
that
I
talked
to
said
I'm
kind
of
just
I,
don't
know
the
idea
of
like
creating
like
a
rainy
day
fund
that,
like
you,
know
a
pot
of
like
fifteen
to
twenty
thousand
dollars
that
we
as
a
council
can
kind
of
decide
to
spend
on.
You
know
things
like
when
events
like
this
happen
and
things
come
up.
W
H
U
If
you're
going
to
use
arpa
funds,
but
we
can
also,
this
is
your
budget.
So
if
you
tell
us
whatever
dollar
value,
you
say
you
want
to
add
into
the
Council
budget
so
that
you
have
some
of
that
flexibility
for
unknowns
emergencies.
Just
you
know,
programs
that
come
up
through
the
through
the
year.
We
can
certainly
add
that
to
the
budget
when
it
comes
back
to
you
on
the
21st,
that's
and
all
I
would
need,
is
you
know
at
least
three
of
you
to
nod
and
agree
to
the
amount,
and
we
can.
U
U
I'd
say
we
just
and
the
only
the
only
cabin
and
there's
probably
we
probably
wouldn't
run
into
this,
but
we'd
want
to
be
careful.
If
there
was
anything
there
aren't
too
many
limitations
on
the
arpa
funds,
but
we'd
want
to
make
sure
we
didn't
hit
any
of
those
but
we'd
check
those
before
you
spend
them.
H
So
you
know,
of
course,
I
was
being
I'm,
always
trying
to
be
I.
Don't
know
why
conservative
about
it,
but
you
know
you
mentioned
20
000
I
was
thinking
15
at
what
5
15
you
know
so
somewhere
we
should
come
up
with
an
amount
so
that
we
could
give
it
to
her
tonight.
So
we
could
have
an
agreement
on
yeah.
A
I
Again,
that's
completely
discretionary
number
for
the
council,
then
the
number
came
as
we
were
looking
at
how
you
were
choosing
to
allocate
into
buckets
and
you
had
monies
allocated
into
Economic,
Development,
and
so,
given
that
they
are
working
on
a
fairly
major
motion
picture
that
should
be
coming
and
doing
filming
in
Arcata
this
next
fiscal
year.
In
terms
of
actually
I
mean
we
will
likely
make
back
that
money
plus
much
more
with
that
filming
that'll
be
happening
here
so
of
all
the
things
that
are
coming
out
of
the
pandemic
around
economic
development.
H
And
in
the
past,
over
in
the
past
years,
I
remember
that
we
used
to
give
them
an
allocation
of
five
thousand
dollars,
and
so
so
they
they're
they're,
probably
a
really
interesting
way
for
us
to
have
money
that
revolves
around
the
entire
County
and
and
cities.
When
you
have
a
film
or
any
kind
of
advertising,
that's
done
car
ads,
Etc
et
cetera
that
happen.
I
And
I
just
do
want
to
make
sure
the
whole
Council
knows
there
still
is
that
it's
not
quite
5
000,
but
it's
like
4
800
that
is
still
in
your
budget
towards
them
as
well,
so
that
is
sort
of
their
ongoing
allocation.
And
yes,
the
county
puts
in
a
lot
I.
Think
Eureka
is
putting
in
40
000
this
year
to
the
film
commission
and
the
county
does
a
little
more
than
that.
So.
H
So
you
may
want
to
have
a
chance
to
talk
to
their
finance
officer
and
figure
out
what
she
figured
that
they
could
do
to
make
sure
they
wouldn't
lose
it
because
of
where
they
would
put
it
and
how
they
were
going
to
organize
it
and
she
talked
about,
but
I,
don't
know
where
it
went
or
how
it
was
going
to
be
handled
exactly.
But
so,
if
you
wouldn't
mind
doing
that,
thank
you,
but.
J
A
P
H
X
Yes,
good
evening,
mayor
council
members,
we
have
a
20
discounted
permit
rate
for
non-profits,
and
then
we
also
have
had
grants
in
the
past
like
the
covet
outdoor
grants
that
has
supported
having
community
events.
Those
are
other
grants
that
we
could
go
after
in
the
future
as
well,
but
those
have
been
some
of
the
funding
supports
for
non-profit
events,
which
I
know
provide
a
great
benefit
to
the
community.
F
That
was
the
question
I
wanted
to
bring
up
about,
permitting
is
I
I
do
support
when
we
can
offsetting
those,
since
we
do
have
the
extra
money
this
year,
but
I
was
also
just
want
to
bring
up
and
I.
Don't
know
how
you
will
determine
this,
but
I
feel
like
it
needs
to
be
done
in
an
equitable
way,
just
like
how
we
have
the
Arts
Council
now,
so
that
we
make
sure
that
our
you
know
the
art
is
Equitable
and
I
feel
the
same
way
about
you
know
the
event
money.
A
Okay,
we
got
two
into
ideas
and
I
really
wanted
to
take
it
out
to
public
comment
before
we
got
too
bogged
down
with
talking
about
our
decisions,
because
we
might
hear
some
things
from
the
public
that
might
spark
what
we
want
to
make
some
changes
about
right,
and
so
that's
why
folks
are
here
so
I'd
really
like
to
open
it
up
for
public
comment.
Unless
there
are
more
clarifying
questions
of
things,
we
do
not
understand
about
the
budget.
S
I
do
thank
you.
Okay,
so
item
number
five
I
just
was
wanting
to
see.
If
we
could
change
the
language,
it
says,
extend
or
expand
and
I'm
wondering
if
we
could
say
and
just
thinking
of
expanding
the
ambassador
program
to
North
Arcata
to
Valley
West
and
then
I
was
hoping
to
get
some
clarification
on
item
number
four
I
noticed
in
2223,
it's
227
000,
and
then
it
goes
up
this
year
or
the
proposed
23
24
to
263,
000
and
I
was
just
wanting
to
see.
If
you
could
clarify,
are
we?
U
Number
four
is
from
so
I'm
going
to
start
with
Community
Ambassador
and
then
I'll
go
back
to
the
Miss,
so
the
community
ambassador
program,
the
reason
that
the
proposed
budget
is
a
little
bit
higher
than
half
of
it
is
because
we
have
some
funds
that
weren't
we
won't
expend
the
full
135
000
that
was
budgeted
this
year,
so
I
included
them
next
year,
and
so
the
question
being
we
want
to
keep
those
funds
there.
I
know
that's
a
very
important
program.
So
the
question
is
whether
or
not
it
would
be
extending
it.
U
Expanding
it
and
I.
Don't
know
that
I'm
I'm
in
a
position
to
tell
you
how
that
would
happen,
but
we
want
to
have
the
funds
available
so
that
they
stay
within
that
program.
So
I
think
that
may
be
a
decision
that
we
come
back
to
you
to
clarify
how
we
handle
administration
of
that
program
next
year
and
it
sounds
like
you're
suggesting
that
maybe
we
extended
into
Valley
West.
U
H
I
Is
that
true,
we've
just
added
two
positions
or
we've
just
hired
two
new
ambassadors,
and
so
they
will
be
going
through
training
and
and
then
shadowing,
and
then
they
will
be
out
working
solo.
The
idea
of
expand
or
extend
is
that
we
believe
we
could
get
a
few
additional
months.
I.
Don't
suspect
that
with
our
initial
pilot
project,
arpa
funds
we're
going
to
be
expanding
the
program,
but
I
do
think
if
the
council
goes
with
council
member
stillman's
request
to
have
the
transaction
use
tax
committee.
S
A
It's
about
where
the
money
comes
from
too,
and
so
I
mean
the
idea
that
we
would
extend
this
tax
is
something
that
could
really
seriously
fund
a
program
that
you
know
costs
this
much.
So
we
need
to
look
for
ways
to
bring
in
new
Revenue
Services
if
we're
going
revenue
streams,
if
we're
going
to
continue
to
offer.
You
know
these
services
that
are
new
or
expand
or
extend
these
services
that
are
new.
S
Right,
yeah,
no
I
understand
it's
just
that
with
400
new
students
coming
in
the
fall
and
with
the
other
home
key
another
90,
we
have
600
new
people
out
there
and
I
feel
like
this
is
something
that
needs
to
come
to
fruition
sooner
than
later
and
I'm
just
trying
to
see
if
there's
something
that
we
can
move
around.
I
know
that
it
is
a
lot
but
we're
talking
about
expanding
on
to
the
extension
right.
So
we're
going
to
fund
it
anyway
for
23.24.
S
The
day
before
yesterday
we
had
another
incident
and
we
really
could
use
ambassadors
which
are
going
to
be
less
threatening
with
the
students
coming
in,
who
are
people
of
color
from
out
of
the
area
and
I
just
feel
like.
If
we
had
more
ambassadors
out
there,
also,
that
would
be
a
great
opportunity
to
not
have
to
have
APD
out
there
every
minute
of
the
day,
so
something
to
think
about,
and
then
I
will
let
you
answer
my
second
question
so.
U
The
the
question
you
had
on
the
Mist
was
the
difference
between
last
year
and
this
year,
and
what
it
is
is
that
we
have.
We
are
funding
Sergeant,
scound
salary
out
of
this
line
item,
but
we've
also
set
aside
additional
funds
for
when
we
get
billed
by
the
county
again
I,
don't
one
of
the
challenges
is
because
we
have
not
been
built.
H
S
Just
wait
because
I'm
new
with
this
so
bear
with
me
and
if
this
is
redundant,
we're
looking
at
that
the
t-u-t
in
March.
So
that
means,
if
we
wait
that
long
our
fiscal
year
is
starting
now
we're
not
going
to
have
anything
happening
for
another
year,
then
at
least
for
for
Valley
West
to
acquire
some
ambassadors
out
there,
I'm
just
really
hoping
that
the
council
could
see
that
this
is
a
something
that
might
need
to
be
a
priority.
So.
F
Just
to
clear,
because
it
would
be
clear
because
we've
had
this
discussion
up
here
before
and
it's
not
just
the
money,
it's
the
development
of
the
program
and
I
had
a
really.
We
I
mean
I'm,
the
one
that
brought
the
program
to
the
council
and
really
sold
it
so
I'm
like
yes,
yes
and
yes,
I
want
it
everywhere,
but
when
I
went
to
Chief
Ahern
to
discuss
the
possibility
of
expanding
it,
it
was
actually
a
couple
months
ago.
F
So
it's
just
really
important
to
me
that
we
be
you
know,
prudent
I
mean
I
know
we
have
so
many
things
pressing
on
us.
So
it's
for
me.
It's
not
just
the
finances,
it's
also
the
Readiness
of
the
program
and-
and
you
know,
and
the
chief
has
shared
his
opinion-
that
it's
not
ready
to
be
expanded.
Yet
yeah.
Y
Y
We
need
a
training
program
that
that
is,
you
know
we're
constantly
tweaking
that
the
de-escalation
side
of
it
is
still
something
that
Sergeant
Scout
is
working
with.
Our
current
ambassadors
on
we
always
there's
always
going
to
be
challenges
for
scheduling,
for
example,
because
you
know
it's
similar
to
the
satellite
office
for
the
PD
is
and
and
I
realize
we're
going
to
be
up
in
Valley
West
at
some
point
and
I.
Y
You
know
I've
seen
this
happen
before
in
other
areas
of
California,
where
the
expectation
is
is
now
that
we
have
a
satellite
office.
Is
that
you're
going
to
be
there?
So
my
fear
is,
is
if
we,
if
we
grow
the
program
too
quickly,
we
may
not
be
able
to
staff
it
in
these
newer
areas
at
a
level
that
the
community
is
expecting
and
then
we
may
be
asking
too
much
of
our
current
ambassadors.
So,
having
said
that,
I
do
I
do
agree
that
it.
The
program,
has
really
worked.
Y
Well,
there's
really
a
lowering
of
the
temperature
on
the
streets
of
of
Arcata
and
I
attribute
that
to
two
things
is
the
all
of
the
the
Sheltering
options
that
you
have
stood
up
for
are
homeless
individuals
and
because
of
the
community
ambassadors,
so
I
think
the
probe
program
is
definitely
working
and
we
I
do
I
do
see
the
need
to
expand
it
into
Valley
West.
We
will
try
to
meet
whatever
timeline.
Y
You
know
you
place
upon
us,
but
we
still
are
growing
the
program
to
the
city
manager's
point
we
just
hired
on
two
people
for
the
vacancies
that
we
had
so
I'd
like
to
see
how
they
develop
through
the
training
program
and
if
it's
something
that
they
even
continue,
you
know
to
work
with
us
on,
but
certainly
doable.
I.
Just
think
trying
to
figure
out
the
the
best
time
to
do
it
is
is,
is
our
biggest
question
that.
S
Makes
sense
to
me
thank
you
for
the
clarification
and
I
did
notice
in
the
priority
goals
that
we
have
prioritized
trying
to
get
our
dedicated,
Valley
West
officer
out
there,
possibly
another
one,
so
yeah.
So
we
got
our
bases
covered.
I
just
really
am
excited
at
the
wonderful
job
that
we're
doing
with
the
ambassador
program,
and
we
will
wait
in
anxious
anticipation
for
that
to
get
the
wrinkles
worked
out
and
and
when
it's
ready
we'll
receive.
A
Yeah
and
I
think
that
is
a
in
its
own,
its
own
separate
agenda
item
to
kind
of
discuss
that
program
and
how
it's
developing
and
give
feedback
get
feedback
from.
You
know
the
folks
that
are
on
the
ground.
I
know
we
had
that
a
couple
months
ago,
but
it
was
still
very
fresh
at
that
point
and
once
you
know
we're
able
to
dig
into
it
a
bit
more.
H
I
would
like
to
support
what
has
been
said
because
I've
experienced
other
programs
that
we've
had
on
the
Plaza,
that
didn't
succeed
and
for
one
reason
or
another,
it
escalated
and
we
everybody
just
quit.
And
so
we
don't
want
to
be
in
a
situation
like
that,
and
this
has
been
slowly
working
and
we
need
to
establish
it
that
way
and
not
have
what
we've
had
in
the
past.
A
Z
Into
the
budget,
obviously
yeah
so
I
can
and
I,
don't
know
what
brought
me
here,
but
ultimately
my
goal
is
to
like
create
some
clarification
for
the
community.
You
know
so
we're
just
asking
for
like
safety
and
like.
Why
are
these
people
pestering
us?
You
know,
like
that's,
that's
a
plain
and
simple
question.
You
know,
and
so
these
Community
ambassadors
are
they
are
they
police
force
or
are
they
a
different
Community
Ambassador?
Are
they
the
equity,
Arcata
or
Equity
Community
Arcata
Ambassador?
Z
Really
yeah,
it's
okay,
it's
all
good,
no
I'm
down
for
ping
pong
I
was
gonna,
say
that
yeah.
So,
ultimately,
my
name
is
Elias
and
I'm.
A
student
with
the
Cal
Poly
I
started
here
in
2016
and
I.
Wasn't
there
at
the
party
when
Josiah
Lawson
died?
But
you
know
we're
still
missing
him,
and
this
is
a
reflection
of
that
I
feel.
AA
Good
evening,
members
of
this
Council,
my
name
is
magali
and
I'm.
Here
now,
just
as
member
of
central
Del
Pueblo
I'm
here
as
a
friend
for
my
friend
I'm
concerned
for
her
safety
and
concerned
for
all
or
slavery,
we
are
hard
work.
People
we
harmless
with
us
are
better.
We
don't
deserve,
be
humiliated
like
this.
This
way,
as
we
had
enough
of
these
treatments,
that
Garden
is
for
me,
like
a
part
of
my
hometown,
it's
a
little
bit
on
my
hometown.
We
have
a
lot
of
community
in
there.
AA
A
lot
of
friendship
and
also
I'm
concerned
for
all
the
students,
they're
living
home
or
homes
are
far
away,
and
this
Garden
make
us
make
home
for
us.
So
please
help
us
to
stop
this
crime
and
we
don't
nothing
what
they
they
put
in
the
graffiti
says
we
don't.
We
know
that
kind
of
people.
We
are
hard
working
people,
sorry
I'm,
nervous.
AB
Yeah,
so
I
just
want
to
name
some
of
the
currencies
that
have
happened
just
so
like
you
know,
for
you
to
consider
where
the
money
is
going
and
what
it's
going
towards,
because
we
don't
want
to
you
know,
have
anything
to
do
with
this.
It
started
in
2022,
July,
21st,
America
USA
was
vandalized
on
our
side.
AB
A
month
later
our
corn
was
cut,
and,
if
you
don't
know
about
corn
and
our
people,
please
do
a
little
research
that
that
is
who
we
are.
That's
how
we're
here
again
in
October
the
the
corn
was
vandalized
once
more
October
25th,
we
had
a
ton
of
garbage
dumped
at
the
entrance
of
the
garden
February
26th
again,
the
sign
was
vandalized
with
graffiti.
AB
AA
AB
AC
This
has
been
happening
since
July
of
last
year.
You
just
heard
a
list
of
all
the
things
that
have
been
happening
over
and
over
for
the
last.
Nearly
a
year
now
I
was
here
at
the
last
city
council
meeting,
saying
hey,
you
know
this
has
already
happened.
Eight
times
and
I
saw
many
sad
nods
and,
oh
yes,
that's
that's
too
bad
and
since
then,
we've
had
at
least
two
more
occurrences,
so
I.
AC
Thank
you
for
the
action
you
have
taken
now,
but
I
also
I
note
that
in
in
the
budget
presentation
there
are
notes
of
the
council
priorities,
including
Public
Safety
and
Equity
diversity
and
inclusion,
a
wiser
man
than
me,
Senator
portino
state
senator
portentino,
once
wrote
to
the
governor
this
year.
Actually
that
a
budget
is
a
moral
document,
it
is
not
just
numbers,
it
is
a
moral
document
that
is
a
promise
to
your
constituents.
AC
The
priorities
that
you
are
taking
to
keep
them
healthy
to
keep
them
well
to
keep
them
safe.
So
again,
I
thank
you
for
the
action
taken
now.
Finally,
but
I
also
implore
each
and
every
one
of
you
that
it
does
not
end
now,
this
has
to
be
a
continuing
ongoing
effort
to
address
an
ongoing
crisis
in
our
community.
AC
AD
Towards
finance
and
the
budget
is
back
in
October
Kimberly
wasn't
on
the
council
at
that
time,
but
you
approved
of
phase
one
of
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
I
believe
it
was
52
million
dollars.
You
had
a
little
bit
in
case
the
they
came
back
and
needed
a
few
more
million,
so
I
think
it
was
just
a
little
bit
under
54
million
that
was
approved
by
you
and
I
brought
this
up
a
number
of
times
and
our
financial
director.
Then
it's
two
different
times.
It
said
it's
now
62
million
dollars.
AD
So
my
question
is:
why
isn't
that
anybody's
even
curious
about
and
explaining
why
you
know
it
went
up
from
54
at
the
max
to
62
million
dollars
and
I
mean
I?
Don't
know
whether
this
is
the
government
thing
that
nobody
really
is
too
concerned
about
it,
because
if
you're
in
the
private
sector
I
mean
you'd
have
to
have
an
answer
to
this,
and
you
know
I'm
just
surprised
that
you
know
of
all
the
millions
of
dollars.
Nobody
has
an
answer.
AD
I've
I've
asked
this,
and,
and
basically
it's
like
you-
asked
a
lot
of
questions.
Don't
worry!
This
is
a
grant.
It's
90
of
it's
paid
by
a
grant.
I'll
remind
you
that
the
federal
government
is
the
one
that
sends
us
the
money
for
these
grants
and
it's
33
trillion
dollar
deficit
that
we're
just
about
defaulted
on
like
a
week
ago.
So
it's
you
know
we're
all
citizens
of
the
U.S.
We
should
be
asking:
where
did
this
money
go?
What
what
is
the
reasons
why
that
it
exceeded
your
authorization
back
in
October?
AD
So
you
need
to
be
asking
that
question
I'd.
Also,
you
need
to
explain
to
the
public
too
that,
because
of
90
of
it
is
being
paid
by
a
grant,
and
you
collected
from
the
taxpayers
for
increasing
water
and
sewage.
You
told
them
to
to
pay
for
this
phase
one
and
the
grant
is
paid
for
90
of
it
and
you're
using
five
million
dollars
of
it
now
to
pay
for
the
pension
fund.
AD
I'm
sure
the
majority
of
the
people
out
here
don't
know
that
you're
using
5
million
to
pay
for
the
pension
fund
and
I
think
what
happens
when
you're
you
get
into
leadership,
I
mean
you're.
Obviously,
your
salary
is
in
the
six
figures,
so
it's
no
I'm
not
talking
about
you
I'm
talking
about
you,
think
I'm
talking
about
you,
guys
no
I,
I
I'm
on
your
side
about
that
I'm
addressing
this
table
over
here,
everyone's
a
six
figure.
But
so
it's
it's!
AD
C
I
want
to
keep
reading.
The
timeline
is
related
to
the
budget.
At
the
end.
In
2023
we
have
started
in
February
with
a
vandalized
sign
with
a
graffiti
and
then
in
April
12th.
The
new
cameras
and
light
motions
were
stalled,
stolen
in
May
8
9.
We
have
a
vandalized
sign,
saying,
USA
Trump
in
May
25
we
had
the
broken
gate
and
a
person
trying
to
steal
cameras
using
ladders.
We
have
the
image
and
the
police
has
the
image
as
well.
C
This
is
a
space
that
we've
been
fostering,
and
this
is
a
space
neighbor
of
and
space
we've
been
working
to
transform.
I
have
some
ideas
for
you
to
use
in
that
budget.
The
site
has
been
vandalized
in
multiple
locations
because
it's
multilingual
because
it
includes
the
solar
look,
the
weird
language.
It
includes
a
mixed
Echo
indigenous
language
from
Oaxaca.
It
includes
Spanish
and
English,
so
provide
access
to
multilingual
people
choose
that
budget
in
those
signs
in
that
in
those
campaigns
to
make
it
in
several
languages.
C
So
we
are
not
targeted,
so
the
person
that
is
doing
this
knows,
as
this
city
provides
safety
space
for
everybody
that
speaks
several
languages.
This
goes
racism
I
hear
there
is
a
film
commission.
Maybe
a
campaigning
media
can
be
come
to
discuss
how
racism
is
a
Public
Health
crisis
and
we
are
in
a
crisis
we
have
so
many
attacks.
C
So
far,
that
is,
is
becoming
a
problem
for
our
health,
physical
and
mental.
In
the
vandalism
of
June
2nd,
my
house
space
was
trespassed
by
this
person.
I
don't
feel
safe.
Even
for
gardening.
I
have
a
baby
I.
Don't
let
her
out
I.
Ask
you
to
highlight
the
sanctuary
Garden
as
an
important
space,
so
that
this
person,
that
is
committing
hate
crimes,
knows
that
you
are
in
our
side
that
you
are
allies.
C
C
W
Hola
hi,
my
name
is
Angela
Verdin
I'm,
a
member
of
the
community
I
also
am
a
volunteer
at
El,
Centro,
Del,
Pueblo
and
I.
Am
a
student
at
Kapolei.
Humble
I
just
want
to
talk
about
how
I'm,
originally
from
the
Bay
Area
so
coming
here
I.
It
took
me
a
long
time
to
find
places
where
I
felt,
safe
and
and
Harding
santuario
is
one
of
those
places
that
I
have
found
to
see
that
it
has
been
volatilized.
It
breaks
my
heart
it.
W
It
really
makes
me
question
because
of
some
of
the
statements
that
we've
made
today.
These
people
are
hard
working.
These
people
are
harmless;
they
they
don't
bring
any
hatred
into
the
community
and
for
them
to
receive.
That
is
very
confusing
for
me,
and
so,
if
we're
talking
about
budget
one
of
the
things
that
I
wanted
to
bring
up.
Thank
you
I
heard
some
of
your
comments.
W
W
We
deal
with
a
lot
of
issues
when
it
comes
to
police
and
so
I
feel
like
having
more
of
that,
may
not
necessarily
be
what
we're
looking
for.
But
when
problems
arise
in
our
community,
it's
time
for
our
community
to
come
together
to
strengthen
to
find
ways
that
we
can
help
each
other
and
so
maybe
creating
positions
that
allow
for
that
to
be
available,
creating
positions
that
help
the
community
come
together
and
find
ways
to
be
able
to
help
each
other
one
another.
W
W
We
need
to
be
able
to
trust
each
other
and
come
together
and
help
each
other
and
us
being
able
to
do
that
and
strengthen
numbers
is
how
we're
going
to
be
able
to
get
through
this.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
your
time,
I
appreciate
it
a
lot
and
I
hope
that
you
put
into
consideration
ways
and
brainstorm
ways
that
we
can
continue
to
help
each
other,
because
it's
not
just
about
us.
W
There
was
a
place
down
the
street
of
the
garden
that
got
vandalized
not
that
long
ago,
maybe
less
than
a
week
ago
as
well.
So
we're
not
the
only
ones
that
are
you
know,
receiving
this
sort
of
behavior,
and
so
helping
the
community
as
a
whole
will
be
super
super
helpful.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
time.
B
Hello,
it's
me
again:
Kate
B
I've
been
living
here
for
13
years.
I
graduated
from
Cal
Poly
10
years
ago,
I
almost
moved
away,
but
I
thought
you
know.
I
really
love
this
place.
I
studied
ecological
restoration,
botany
and
watershed
management,
but
I'm
a
full-time
artist
and,
like
they've,
said
the
garden
has
kind
of
helped
me
come
out
of
my
home.
It's
like
my
second
place.
B
I
know
someone
brought
up
the
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
position.
I've
actually
personally
looked
at
that
job,
because
I
thought
you
know,
I
look
for
these
things
in
my
day-to-day
that's
something
that
is
very
important
to
me.
So
budget
wise
I
would
suggest
increasing
the
pay,
because
I
get
paid
more
cleaning
floors
than
that
job
has
posted,
so
I
don't
know
who's
going
to
apply
for
that
job,
because
what
it
takes
to
deal
with
that
not
only
on
an
academic
but
on
an
emotional
labor.
B
It's
not
enough,
and
so
I
don't
know
who's
going
to
fill
that
job
I've
been
interested,
but
it's
not
it's
yeah.
So
as
far
as
the
budget
for
the
garden
I
think
I
mentioned
it
before
because
of
the
whole
sentiment
on
police.
Maybe
if
we
could
open
up
more
positions
having
to
do
with
the
community
ambassadors,
I
mean
I
would
hate
to
have
to
lean
on
them
too
much,
because
I'd
also
want
them
to
have
some
sort
of
training
when
it
comes
to
decolonizing
and
being
trauma
informed.
B
So
I,
don't
know
what
that
looks
like
as
far
as
rate
of
pay
for
that
position,
because
we
need
somebody
at
night
time
a
present
to
look.
We
have
a
camera,
but
the
motion-
sensors
don't
go
off
because
we
have
to
put
it
at
such
a
distance
to
keep
it
out
of
Arm's
Reach,
and
then
we
can't
capture
who's
there.
B
N
You
know,
I'm
a
climate
activist,
so
that's
kind
of
my
focus
but
I've
been
a
social
justice
activist
as
well,
and
we
need
to
address
this
out
loud
on
the
street
corners
at
the
ball
game
seriously.
At
the
ball
game
and
at
other
places-
and
we
need
to
get
a
handle
on
this
and
stop
the
hate-
we
need
to
stop
the
Discrimination.
We
need
to
like
I
said
earlier,
recognize
that
we
all
belong
to
each
other
and
must
stand
in
a
circle
of
compassion
with
one
another.
N
I
was
able
to
hear
my
friend,
Father
Greg
Boyle
speak
at
my
niece's
graduation
in
Santa
Barbara
last
week
and
I
talked
to
him
about
coming
up
here
because
he's
an
inspiring
person
doing
great
work
down
in
Los
Angeles
at
homeboy,
and
hopefully
I
can
get
that
to
happen.
Now
that
I've
made
direct
contact
with
him,
because
we
need
to
inspire
this
community
to
be
different
than
it
currently
is
behaving.
O
O
You
know
that
is
not
the
end.
I
understand
you
know
the
American
Rescue
plan.
That's
you
know,
I
believe
almost
200
billion
dollars
is
allocated
through
different
states,
and
you
know:
Arcata
Humboldt
County
was
very
lucky
to
receive
quite
a
good
chunk
of
that
funding
and
I
know
that
it
can
be
used
for
these
purposes.
My
worry
I
guess
is
what
happens
afterwards?
O
That
funding
will
last
quite
a
long
time
and
that's
something
that
you
know
is
definitely
being
considered
as
I
see
from
these
discussions.
But
I
would,
you
know,
be
I,
guess
hesitant
to
be
too
optimistic
about
the
future
after
after
that
or
the
future
in
which
different
change
in
the
rescue
plan
makes
it
so
that
way
that
funding
that
has
been
provided
might
change.
O
What
if
the
city
considers
something
an
emergency
and
the
people
do
not,
or
vice
versa,
what
if
the
people
consider
something
an
emergency,
but
the
city
does
not
meet
them
at
that
level.
Is
the
funding
then
withheld
I
think
these
are
important?
Questions
and
I
can
see
that
you
all
care
that
you
know
you
want
to
do
something
about
it
and
I
hope
in
the
future.
O
G
F
A
Q
Hey
Hallelujah,
fantastic,
a
whole
bunch
of
ideas,
okay,
I,
don't
know,
I
know
we
have
a
or
had
I've
seen
them,
though
we
have
a
volunteer
policing
program
and
they
go
up
into
neighborhoods
where
somebody's
going
on
vacation
and
oversee
it.
Maybe
we
could
extend
that
program.
We
have
a
very
active
cert
program
for
emergencies.
Q
I
think
it's
a
very
important
going
to
the
budget
to
when
we're
talking
about
Economic
Development
and
the
positive
Improvement
task
force,
which
I
was
on
to
find
ways
to
support
the
fairy
festival
and
events
like
that,
because
they
do
bring
money,
they
do
bring
people
that
brings
money
to
downtown
businesses.
We
should
be
doing
the
same
thing
over
in
the
Creamery
District.
Q
We
should
be
doing
some
more
things,
possibly
in
Valley
West.
In
order.
The
more
special
events
we
have
I
mean
the
oyster
festival
brings
in
enormous
amounts
of
money.
The
kinetic
event
does
a
lot
for
bringing
people
here
and
bringing
people
from
out
of
town
a
lot
of
interest,
Etc,
so
I
think.
If
we
actually
actively
support
some
of
these
things,
it
will
be
good
for
both
Economic
Development
and
safety,
but
also
I.
Q
Think
if
you're
going
to
have
it
occurred
to
me,
I,
don't
know
how
exactly
big
the
sanctuary
Garden
is
in
terms
of
square
feet.
Maybe
you
could
get
somebody
to
live
there
and
create
a
homeless
somebody
to
actually
live
in
a
small
area.
They're
just
buying
modular
units
down
at
Hilfiger,
I,
Hilfiger
I
think
it's
called,
and
maybe
you
could
put
a
modular
unit
in
there.
Somebody
could
live
there.
Then,
when
the
lights
came
on,
there'd,
be
somebody
there
to
respond.
Q
The
motion
sensor
white
so
I'm
talking
about
because
the
point
my
my
initial
reaction
was
well
just
place
them
high
enough
that
somebody
can't
get
at
them.
Maybe
you
can
get
permission
to
place
them
on
buildings
across
the
street
from
the
people
that
own
those
properties,
but
there
needs
to
be
a
way
to
monitor
that
and
create
a
sense
of
safety.
I
AE
I
was
just
wondering:
I
heard
that
there
were
two
new
positions
filled
of
the
ambassador
program
and
I
was
wondering
if
they
quit
or
I'm
just
wondering
if
we
need
to
offer
benefits
in
a
full-time
position
or
full-time
positions
to
people
that
work
in
their
program
to
keep
good
workers
doing
the
great
work
they
do
and
I
also
just
want
to
say,
I
empathize
a
lot
with
the
people
that
have
been
speaking
tonight
and
I
hope
that
we
do
something
as
a
city
to
help
out.
Thank.
A
You
touched
a
bit
on
maybe
like
thinking
about
creating
a
framework
for
that,
and
we
can
maybe
direct
our
city
manager
to
create
a
Equitable
framework
for
how
we
can
provide
lower
rate
permitting
to
those
events.
So
those
were
the
three
things.
I
wrote
down
that
I
heard
us
kind
of
begin
to
consensus
and
agree
on
I.
P
X
I'm
I
can't
speak
to
the
specifics
on
that
Paschal
I.
Don't
have
that
information
in
front
of
me,
but
I
will
say
that
we,
since
the
goal
setting
meeting
in
March
the
environmental
services
and
Engineering
departments,
took
the
direction
for
looking
at
additional
infrastructure
and
beautification
opportunities
in
Valley
West,
and
so
we
did
submit
a
clean
California
grant
for
that.
So
that
will
address
many
of
those
concerns.
I
just
can't
speak
to
the
something
in
the
past
that
that
is
not
in
the
documentation.
S
I
A
X
Four
parts
of
that
we
were
looking
at
and
included
mention
in
the
the
grant
that
we
submitted
to
Caltrans
at
the
end
of
May
was
solar.
Additional
solar
lighting
at
the
bus
stops
so
I,
but
thank
you
mayor
Schaefer,
for
bringing
up
that
in
the
goals
it
was
looking
at
those
bigger
picture
items
and
I.
Think
at
the
staff
level
we've
tried
to
address
those
in
in
some
opportunities
so
far.
A
A
U
U
Is
the
project
manager
assistant
engineer
that
would
potentially
be
funded
from
Capital
project
grants
that
that's
already
been
sort
of
outlined,
and
just
that
would
be
in
addition
to
the
budget,
but
it
would
be
offset
by
Revenue
that
would
cover
the
cost
of
at
least
at
least
the
ongoing
cost
of
that
position.
I.
I
A
H
And
well,
no
I
have
when
we
get
into
comments.
You
know
I'm
gonna
just
bring
this
up
and
I.
Don't
know
how
it'll
affect
things,
but
it
could,
as
far
as
staff
time
I've
been
thinking
about
the
transportation
Safety
Committee
and
the
public
safety
Comm
committee
and
I've
been
thinking
about
how
we
could
merge
those
two
in
the
transportation
Safety
Committee.
We
have
one
opening
and
the
public
safety.
E
A
U
A
AF
Well,
Ray
and
I'm
here
representing
myself,
my
ancestors
and
my
community
I
want
to
uplift
what
folks
said
and
I
just
want
to
amplify
that.
Not
only
city
council
should
bear
the
weight
of
having
to
wipe
those
words,
but
so
should
Karen
David
y'all
have
been
sitting
in
those
seats
for
a
really
long
time,
and
you
are,
you
know
you
make
the
big
bucks
you're
their
boss.
AF
You
know
you,
you
should
also
feel
what
that
what
that
is,
because
I
was
there
the
first
time
and
having
to
wipe
that
off,
that
sign
of
hurt
and
so
I,
don't
I
mean
they'll
come
and
go,
but
you
continue
to
sit
there.
Karen
and
so
I
hope
that
you
go,
and
you
feel
that
you
feel
what
it
is
to
be
in
that
in
this
community
and
to
experience
that
targeting
and
then
have
to
clean
it
up
and
then
for
my
second
Point
unrelated,
but
also
related
around
Community
safety.
AF
Today,
the
city
of
Arcata
conducted
another
sweep
at
Carlson
Park,
and
this
time
there
was
no.
There
was
no
papers
passed
out
to
people
informing
them
of
when
the
police
would
return
just
a
threat
that
if
people
were
still
there,
when
the
police
returned
that
they
would
be
arrested
no
date,
no
time
nothing
and
so
I
just
want
you
to
know
that
people
are
watching.
People
know
what
you
all
are
doing.
AF
It
is
not
okay
and
pack
out
green
team
is
going
to
hold
yet
another
cleanup
and
they're
gonna
pick
up
abandoned
encampments
that
were
abandoned
because
you
pushed
them
out
with
the
threat
of
arrests
with
nowhere
to
go
so
people
are
watching.
This
doesn't
get
swept
under
the
under
the
rug.
You
want
to
talk
about
budgets
approve
some
public
dumpsters
approve
some
services.
AF
AD
AD
Basically,
I
guess
the
closest
thing
was
our
storm
water
pollution
prevention
plan,
which
I
have
addressed
from
the
standpoint
in
the
past
that
we
didn't
have
a
street
cleaner.
So
for
the
last
five
years
you
know
not
too
often
with
the
streets
being
cleaned
and,
unfortunately,
all
during
that
time
larger
amount
of
trash.
You
know
where,
whenever
it
rained
it's
getting
washed
down
the
storm
drains
that
goes
into
our
oceans,
so
I
believe
I
might
have
missed
the
night.
AD
But
maybe
you
did
approve
that
street
cleaner,
which
is
good,
but
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
bring
up.
Is
that
there's
hundreds
of
right
now
on
the
streets,
hundreds
of
cigarette
butts
that
are
outside
of
businesses?
A
lot
of
them
are
outside
bars
in
smoke,
shops
and
so
I'm,
not
saying
that
the
ambassador
program
should
have
the
responsibility
of
cleaning
it
up,
but
it's
definitely
something
that's
being
missed,
and
last
night
was
supposed
to
be
a
50
chance
of
rain.
AD
So
if
it
had
rained
all
of
those
cigarette
butts
would
have
gone
into
the
rivers
and
out
to
the
ocean.
So
we're
not
really
doing
what
we
need
to
be
doing
here
in
the
city.
We're
not
I
mean
we
have
a
lot
of
people
that
have
backgrounds
environmental
science,
but
I
mean
it's
kind
of
a
lacking
in
the
storm
water
pollution
prevention
plan,
from
my
standpoint
and
sort
of
was
involved
with
two
different
jobs
in
Marin,
County
and
Sonoma.
AD
So
I
know
a
little
bit
about
it
and
so
we're
we
kind
of
have
the
reputation
of
being
an
environmental,
friendly,
City,
but
I
don't
see
the
mechanics
of
getting
the
job
done.
So
somebody
needs
to
figure
out.
You
would
think
that
from
the
standpoint
of
at
least
education,
those
businesses
and
maybe
you've
changed
your
policy
about
smoking
in
the
city
of
Arcata
or
it's
okay.
AD
To
do
it,
but
you
would
think
that
the
businesses
that
have
all
the
cigarette
buds
that
are
right
in
front
of
their
businesses
would
like
to
get
rid
of
the
evidence
so
that
when
somebody
walks
the
bide,
they
just
can't
see
that
we
have
a
lot
of
smokers
that
are
obviously,
unless
you
change
the
laws
here
in
town
are
freely
smoking
on
the
sidewalks
of
downtown
Arcata
and
I've.
Seen
them
daytime.
But
I
would
imagine
it
happens
a
lot
at
night
and
nobody
seems
to
be
doing
anything
about
it.
V
V
There
were
a
lot
of
tired,
tiny
people
afterward,
but
it
was
great
and
I
just
want
to
really
give
a
shout
out
to
the
community
ambassadors,
who
I
think
do
a
rock
star
job
they're,
pretty
fantastic
and
are
always
there
ahead
of
things
and
around
things
and
trying
to
help
get
things
ready
for
for
what's
coming
next
downtown
when
I've
seen
them
also,
what
else
was
there?
It
I
have
really
loved
the
evolution
of
that
outdoor
events.
Grant
Program
and
this
I
know
I
missed
the
budgeting
time.
V
I
was
at
the
library
tonight,
but
just
anyways
that
things
can
look
forward
to
the
future
with
some
of
those
elements
is
pretty
cool
that
is
really
Innovative
and
interesting.
How
that
came
together
and
yay?
More
of
that
I
hope
and
also
the
summer
reading
program
is
starting
at
all
the
libraries,
so
everyone
should
sign
up
for
some
reading
all
ages.
V
Everyone
and
yeah
I
think
thanks
so
much
to
the
Center
Pueblo
folks
that
came
out
today
too,
and
anyone
who
can
go
volunteer
at
the
gardens
be
a
part
of
all
the
wonderful
cleanups
and
participate
in
the
community.
All
those
people
who
came
to
fairy
Festival
are
all
awesome
people
and
they
should
all
go
and
help
out
at
all
these
things,
because
they
should
wear
their
wings
and
make
it
happen.
Thank
you.
Thanks.

Hi
I
just
want
to
say:
I
was
gone
for
a
week
to
where
I
used
to
live
down
in
Santa
Barbara
I'm,
now
not
driving
a
car
for
the
summer.
I'm
gonna
try
and
get
places
without
a
car
and
I'm
finding
the
challenges
already,
but
I
walk
a
lot
and
I
walk
by
Sorrel
place
the
other
day
and
to
follow
up
Greg's
comment.
N
This
is
what
really
concerns
me
about
places
like
Sorrel
place
and
where
places
like
that
that
we're
planning
you
walk
on
the
sidewalk
there
and
it
is
just
littered
with
butts
cigarette
butts
or
whatever
people
are
smoking.
It's
a
total
mess
and
if
we're
going
to
house
a
lot
of
people
in
high
density
areas,
we've
got
to
manage
it
a
whole
lot
better
and
I.
You
know
this
town
is
getting
really
shabby.
N
It's
getting
really
shabby
and
in
so
many
ways
and
I
love
fairy
festivals,
I
love,
you
know
parties,
but
let's
do
the
work,
and
then
we
have
a
reason
to
celebrate.
It's
just
really
concerning
me
that
we're
just
kind
of
letting
things
slide
and
then
we're
the
unhoused
issue.
It's
absolutely
discouraging
to
me
that
our
small
town
cannot
get
a
handle
on
helping
people
who
need
help
and
they're
just
languishing
literally
on
the
sidewalks.
N
We,
you
know
a
lot
of
money
is
being
spent
and
it's
really
interesting
that
there's
been
money
been
found
to
extend
this
safe
parking
program.
But
there
are
people
just
literally
lying
flat
on
the
sidewalks
in
downtown
Arcata
and
probably
up
in
Valley
West
too,
and
this
has
got
to
change
really
soon
really
soon.
Q
Q
So
we
need
effective,
Solutions
and
some
of
this
extra
money
we
have.
We
ought
to
look
at
how
to
use
it
in
that
area.
I
also
want
to
comment
about
K,
Street
I
didn't
see
anything.
The
Planning
Commission
recommended
that
the
safety
issues
there
be
addressed
by
realigning
it
eliminating
some
parking
areas
and
basically
putting
in
either
stop
signs
or
I
know.
It
was
mentioned
that
there
would
be
one
of
those
lighted
frostwalks.
Q
Q
So,
thank
you
very
much.
Good
luck
with
all
this.
We
have
a
lot
of
things
we
need
to
do,
and
safety
is
a
priority
and
I.
Don't
think
the
transportation
committee
should
be
joined
with
the
public
safety,
because
they're
totally
separate
issues.
One
involves
the
voice.
Department
one
involves
transportation.
AG
AG
There
stop
signs
sounds
like
you're
talking
about
a
flashing
light
at
a
street
and
elimination
of
at
least
partial
or
or
parking
on
one
side
to
allow
for
a
full
bike
lane,
in
addition
to
the
sidewalk
space,
and
since
we're
talking
about
budget
really
kind
of
a
non-commitment
to
budget,
but
a
commitment
toward
the
future
would
be
deciding
to
designate
the
L
Street
Corridor.
It
should
be
a
linear
Park
and
to
say,
if
you
got
to
excuse.
AG
My
dog
he's
pushing
his
dog
food
bowl
around
the
background,
but
committing
that
to
be
a
a
linear,
Park
and
saving
those
Open
Spaces.
It
wouldn't
cost
anything,
but
it
would
be
a
placeholder
in
the
future
and
I
hope.
You
consider
that
we're
up
to
about
750
petitioners
right
now
and
and
that
continues
to
go
on-
and
there
is
a
lot
of
support
for
Lanier,
Park
and
I-
would
think
you'd
support.
AG
The
second
round
of
the
Transportation
safety,
with
the
general
plan
once
again
saying
that
that
L
Street
should
be
a
linear
Park
and
you
should
abandon
the
couplet
and
thank
you
thank
you
for
everything,
you're
doing
and
I
appreciate
all
the
speakers
tonight.
As
far
as
talking
to
the
sanctuary
Garden,
it's
it's
really
troubling.
AG
A
A
F
I
mean
we
talked
a
lot
about
Oysterfest
tonight,
so
everyone
does
know
about
that.
That
was
my
main
update
and
then
also
I
wish
that
Gregory
was
still
here,
because
I
wanted
to
just
share
I
did
do
an
update
on
my
walk,
along
with
the
ambassadors,
but
I'll
say
it
again
when
I
did
that
they
we,
because
I
was
working
with
them,
picked
up
a
lot
of
cigarette
butts,
that's
what
they
do.
F
A
Man,
I,
don't
really
have
much
either
the
iblock
party
is
happening
and
the
planning
is
in
full
force
and
myself
and
vice
mayor
Matthews
will
be
emceeing
it
and
it
will
be
held.
The
Monday
of
Labor
Day
weekend
like
it
always
is,
and
that's
something
to
look
forward
to
through
the
summer
here
gosh
I
was
like
writing.
Somebody
down
I
had
something
I
was
like
remembering.
Oh.
A
S
We
did
pick
up
a
whole
bucket
of
cigarette
butts,
so
we
are
trying.
We
had
another
successful
cleanup
on
Sunday
wanted
to
mention
that
arcade
house
partnership
could
use
more
volunteers,
always
for
their
food
pantry.
They
do
it
on
Fridays.
Give
them
a
call
and
I
had
a
blast
at
the
Oyster
Fest
kickoff
party,
I,
just
I
loved,
that
at
wrangletown
wanted
to
mention
that
West
Village
Studios,
the
home
key
project
number
two
they're
moving
folks
in
and
it's
super
exciting
I've
been
seeing
posts
on
Facebook.
S
As
pointed
out
by
Alex,
there
are
several
vacancies
on
our
committees
just
to
let
people
know
the
transportation,
Safety
Committee,
the
Public
Safety
Committee
or
park
and
rec
committee
and
our
energy
committee
and
of
course,
our
Planning
Commission.
So
if
you
want
to
do
some
Public
Service
do
reach
out
to
the
city
of
Arcata
and
I'm
sure
they'll
find
something
that
will
fit
for
you.
S
Anyone
who
wants
to
learn
more
about
participatory
budgeting,
as
you
know,
kuna
was
the
first
to
bring
participatory
budgeting
to
Humboldt
County,
and
it's
when
you
allow
the
residents
or
the
community
to
make
decisions
on
how
public
money
is
spent
and
our
city
council
has
been
very
gracious
in
allocating
25
000
to
North
Arcata
Valley
West
Community.
So
if
you
would
like
to
learn
more
and
come
observe,
there
will
be
a
6
p.m.
S
S
There
will
be
a
shuttle
at
the
Oyster
Fest
that
will
be
happening
at
the
Westwood
Shopping
Center
Arcata
high
school,
so
you
can
park
and
not
have
to
fight
for
a
parking
spot,
and
oh
I'm
really
excited
I'll,
be
leaving
Monday
coming
back
on
Thursday
to
do
a
climate
conference,
but
I
will
be
back
in
time
for
that
Oyster
Festival
on
Saturday
and
just
a
reminder
that
both
Saturday
and
Wednesday
are
opportunities
for
you
to
stand
in
solidarity
for
Central
de
Pueblo.
Thank
you.
H
Okay,
well
so
I
have
well
I'll,
just
send
it.
This
Friday
Montessori
is
having
their
mural
dedication
also
and
on
June
17th.
It
was
brought
up
today
at
HCA
dumped
the
pump
and
that's
Thursday
June
17th,
where
you'll
be
able
to
ride
the
bus
free
all
day,
and
that's
happening
not
only
here,
but
it's
one
of
the
it's
a
national
event,
so
HCA
also
approved
today
our
catered
transit
system
and
HTA.
They
they
approved
the
starting
on
July
1st.
So
now
we
have
made
that
whole
thing
happen.
H
That's
very
exciting
and
I
still
think,
no
matter
what
people
say:
I
think
that
we
can
have
public
safety
and
Transportation
safety
combined
and
I
know
you
want
to
find.
We
need
a
lot
of
people
for
volunteers
in
our
community
at
this
time,
I
also
attended
the
hemp
creep.
Hemp
creek
Workshop
that
was
at
at
the
Arcata
Chamber
of
Commerce
I,
went
to
sbdc
Small
Business
Development
Center
they've,
hired
Will
Franklin
as
their
new
Eda
Ed
today
and
he's
the
also
the
owner
of
Trinity
wines.
H
So
I
was
so
cigarette
butts.
Oh
my
gosh!
There
was
a
time
there
was
so
much
going
on
about
giving
up
smoking
a
Cancer,
Society
and
I
just
haven't
seen
that
happening,
especially
at
the
county
level.
They
used
to
really
push
up
and
possibly
we're
going
to
have
to
think
about
new
development
when
we
have
that
about
how
to
deal
with
smoking
and
where
smoking
would
be.
H
There's
a
lot
of
talk
about
the
we
should
figure
out
how
to
handle
more
housing
for
Arcata
for
our
homeless,
and
we
have
done
a
great
job
on
doing
that,
and
we
do
need
citizens
to
think
about
if
they
are
really
concerned
about
making
donations
toward
it.
I
Street
was
the
bike
lane
that
was
at
one
time.
Was
it
alternative
bike
growing?
So
you
could
go
on
I
and
said:
okay?
Isn't
that
still
true,
or
did
that
go
away.
H
So
I
don't
know
if
people
actually
realize
that's
an
alternative
to
K
Street,
maybe
that
we
need
to
talk
about
that
some
more
and
when
we
talk
about
you
know
what
things
look
like.
Striping
is
always
important
of
how
the
streets
are
striped
and
when
they're.
Currently,
when
they're
striped
freshly
everything
looks
better
so
I
guess
that's
about
it.
For
me,
I
do
appreciate
you
thinking
about
a
discussionary
fund
or
rainy
day
fund
or
slush
fund
or
whatever
you
want
to
call
it
so
yeah.
She
didn't
want
me
to
use
the
word.
H
That
sounds
good,
that's
probably
the
best
name,
Community
Support
fund.
So
in
the
old
days
they
used
to
use
those
kind
of
charms.
There
are
a
lot
of
terms
you
can't
use
anymore.
You
can't
even
use
webmaster.
You
have
to
call
them
a
person
in
charge
of
the
web
system,
so
we
have
a
lot
of
changes.
Okay,
thank
you
all
right.
Thank.
