A
Next
we
have
ceremonial
matters.
We
have
a
proclamation
in
recognition
of
fire
prevention
week,
which
is
October
9th
to
the
15th
2022,
and
the
proclamation
will
be
read
by
council
member
Matthews.
Just
so

member
will

then,
if
you'd
like
to
say
something,
you
can
go
to
the
podium
and
say
something
about
it.
C
Okay,
Proclamation
and
recognition
of
Fire
Prevention,
Week
October
9th
through
15th
2022,
whereas
home
the
place,
people
often
feel
safest
from
fire,
is
actually
where
they
are
the
greatest
risk.
74
of
all
U.S
fire
deaths
incurring
in
homes
and
whereas
people
are
more
likely
to
die
in
a
home
fire
today
than
they
were
in
1980..
Newer
homes
are
built
with
lightweight
materials
that
burn
faster
than
older
home
constructions,
and
many
of
today's
products
and
Furnishing
produce
toxic
gases
and
smoke
when
burned,
making
it
impossible
to
see
and
breathe
within
moments.
C
That
can
mean
the
difference
between
life
and
death
in
a
fire
developing
a
home,
Escape
Plan
with
all
members
of
the
household
and
practicing
it
regularly
ensures
that
everyone
knows
what
to
do
when
the
smoke
alarm
sounds
and
use.
That
time
was
now,
therefore,
be
it
proclaimed
to
the
city
council
of
city
of
Arcata
hereby
recognizes
October
9-15
2022
Aspire
Prevention
Week
throughout
this
community.
E

The
American
Institute
of
certified
planners
endorse
October
as
National
Community

month
as
an
opportunity
to
highlight
the
contribution
that
sound
planning
and
plan
implementation
make
the
quality
of
our
community
and
the
environment,
and
whereas
the
celebration
of
national
Community

provides
opportunity
to
publicly
recognize
the
participation
of
dedication
and

private
and

who
have

Therefore

City
council.
The
month
of
October
2022,
is
hereby
recognize.
E
F
G
G
At
some
point
somewhere
there
was
a
group
of
planners
and
officials,
and
you
know
public
input,
committees
that
were
deciding
how
all
of
these
things
should
be
laid
out
and
where
different
usage
should
go
in
our
cities
and
our
counties.
So
it's
really
important
to
have
good
planners
in
the
communities
and
I
encourage
everyone
to
seek
out
your
local
planner
and
let
them
know
what
your
thoughts
are.
We
would
love
to
hear
from
you
the
more
public
input
we
have,
the
better.
We
can
design
communities
for
your
needs.
So
thank
you
again
for
this
Proclamation.

Violence
signed
October,
5th
2022
by
mayor
Casey,
Atkins
salazarus.
There's
someone
here
to
receive
it.
I
I
Of
the
city,
part
of
our
discussion,
I'd
like
to
acknowledge
our
city,
engineer,
nature
country
and
assistant
city,
engineer,
David,
Chase
for
being
keeping
everything
running
and
helping
with
everything
that
we're
doing
so.
Those
guys
are
great
and
Todd
Dockweiler
with
Police
Department.
Is
there
every
month
giving
a
safety
report,
so
we
can
follow
trends,
try
to
help
City
react.
I
I
I
K
I
I
Sometimes
people
don't
know
whether
they're
a
bike
or
they're
a
car,
sometimes
they're,
blowing
stop
signs
sometimes
they're
in
the
wrong
lane.
Sometimes
they're
not
going
too
fast
in
the
bike
too
slow
in
the
car
Lane,
so
I
I
think
it
has
potential
to
be
a
great
thing,
but
we're
in
an
evolution
that
there
needs
to
do
it.
H
So
I
know
other
communities
in
California
have
been
dealing
with
that
and
that
you
just
see
them
they're
left
on
the
sidewalk
here
or
there
and
I
think
they
have
to
be
recharged.
So
it
has
to
be
someone
that's
going
to
be
managed
enough,
some
company
or
someone
going
and
picking
them
up
and
I
I.
Had
someone
stop
me
on
the
street,
talk
to
me
about
them
and
what
how
they'd
impacted
some
of
the
challenges
so
I
think
it'll
be
something
to
definitely
watch.
J
H
Well,
I
I,
just
think
I
see
students
Crossing
there
all
the
time
and
it's
fairly
active
crosswalk
and
that
having
some
safety
there
is
the
same
as
we
have
a
crosswalk
going
to
the
creamery.
We
have
one
across
Samoa
Boulevard
and
that
probably
wouldn't
be
a
bad
place
to
have
another
one.
So
thank
you,
I
didn't
mean
to
put
you
on
the
spot.
That's
fine!
Thank
you.
L
Sure,
if
you're
looking
for
an
answer
on
yes
17th
Street
has
come
to
our
TSC
in
last
month,
a
lot
of
months
and
a
few
times
currently,
we
are
considering
putting
maybe
a
speed
feedback
sign
that
is
already
in
the
budget.
It
will
be
on
the
alliance
tree
just
to
slow
the
speed
down
and
enhance
the
processing.
If
that
doesn't
work,
maybe
we'll
look
into
the
flashing
cost
and
I'm
fine,
but
right
now,
that's
not
in
the
design
phase
right
now.
It's
a
speed
feedback
sign,
letting
people
know
at
what
speed
they
are
going.
Alliance.
H
C
Hi,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
service
and
thank
you
first
and
foremost
for
the
help
on
the
complete
streets
policy.
I'm
super
happy
about
that.
I
was
wondering
if
the
transportation
Safety
Committee
had
anything
to
do
with
the
recent
pop-up,
with
the
eighth
and
9th
streets
being
one
way
each
and
what
your
views
on
that
was.
I
I,
don't
I
mean
we
had
one
member
who's
on
that
working
group
and-
and
we
did
talk
about
the
eighth
and
Ninth
project
at
our
last
meeting
and
gave
some
some
feedback
that
has
for
the
pop-up
I'm,
pretty
sure
that
the
city
and
its
Consultants
were
the
ones
who
handled
that
I
I.
Wasn't
there
that
day,
I
didn't
get
a
chance
to
see
it?
I
don't
know
if
there
were
other
TSC
members
that
were
involved.
C
D
I
Sure
so
a
little
bit
of
the
background,
so
the
draft
of
the
Gateway
plan
was
released
in
December
of
last
year.
As
you
guys
are
aware,
we
talked
about
it
at
our
January
18th
meeting
and
at
that
time
the
community
development
director
David
Loya,
said
eventually
he
would
like
some
recommendations
from
us,
but
since
it
was
still
kind
of
new,
he
said
we'll
be
back.
So
of
course
we
had
the
110
page
draft
report
at
that
time.
I
believe
we
all,
or
at
least
I
printed
out
the
chapter.
I
Seven,
that's
the
section
on
Mobility,
which
is
most
relevant
to
the
transportation
Safety
Committee.
So
then,
and
I
I
think
we've
had
committee
members
have
had
opportunities
to
go
on
walking
tours
I've
done
one
or
two
of
them
myself,
I
think
verse.
One
was
maybe
a
year
ago
I
was
thinking.
It
was
October
predated
that
the
release
of
the
draft,
so
I've
done
a
few
of
the
walking
tours.
I
I
We
didn't
finish
so
we
had
a
special
meeting
two
weeks
later,
that
one
went
another
couple
hours
plus,
and
that
was
the
meeting
that
we
finally
got
to
the
L
Street
couplet
and
made
a
recommendation
to
the
city
council
to
leave
that
as
a
Trail
Corridor
or
a
linear
Park,
and
so
at
that
point
you
know
we
have
seven
members,
and
maybe
one
of
the
members
is
fairly
new.
So
not
all
of
the
members
have
been
at
all
of
the
meetings,
not
everybody's
hearing,
all
of
the
same
things
we're
not
consistently
the
same.
I
Seven
people
discussing
the
issue.
One
of
our
members,
is
an
engineer
with
ghd
and
had
to
refuse
so
at
the
August
second
meeting.
When
we
finally
got
around
to
that
discussion
and
made
our
recommendation,
two
members
didn't
show
up.
There
were
only
four
of
us
there,
so
we
had
a.
We
had
a
vote
of
three
to
one.
I
The
the
dissenting
member
had
act
initially
in
January
been
kind
of
favorable
toward
the
view
of
the
other
three,
but
he
heard
some
things
that
evening
that
made
him
change
his
mind,
so
I'm
giving
you
this
background,
because
this
issue
has
been
different
for
our
committee
to
handle
than
just
about
any
other
issue
we've
taken
on.
We
take
a
vote
or
give
a
recommendation
on
a
speed,
hump
or
a
stop
sign,
or
something
like
that.
You
know
we
go
through
it.
It's
usually
fairly
black
and
white.
There
may
be
some
Nuance,
we
gain
consensus.
I
We
give
a
recommendation
to
the
city
and
then
the
staff
runs
with
it.
This
one
has
been
a
little
a
little
bit
different.
So
having
said
that,
and
then
also
I
I
paid
attention
to
your
study
session.
That
I
believe
was
September
22nd
that
you
had
with
the
Planning
Commission
I,
don't
remember
if
I
followed
that
live
or
if
I
dialed
it
up
the
following
evening
or
something,
but
it's
great
to
be
able
to
to
pull
these
things
up
now
on
the
internet
and
go
back
so
I
paid
attention
to
that
and.
I
I'm,
not
sure
that
if
I
were
to
stand
here
and
give
what
I
feel
the
pros
and
cons
are
of
it,
you'd
be
getting
my
agenda
and
I'm
not
sure
that
if
somebody
else
was
standing
up
here
from
the
committee
tonight
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
committee
and
they
try
to
convey
what
we
talked
about
and
what
our
discussions
were,
because
they
were
kind
of
complex,
they
were
nuanced
I,
I,
just
I'm,
not
comfortable
with
that.
So
what
I?
What
I
would
encourage
you
to
do?
I
Probably
10
minutes
from
two
different
meetings
will
give
you
the
gist
of
the
majority
of
that
it
was
the
August
2nd
meeting
that
we
took
the
vote.
We
probably
there's
probably
a
15-minute
segment
from
that
meeting.
That
I
think
somebody
I
don't
know
if
it
was
a
member
of
the
public
or
somebody
else
identified.
Here's
where
it
starts
pay
attention
in
the
next
15
minutes,
you'll
get
the
gist
of
what
we
talked
about.
How
we
came
to
the
conclusion
that
we
did
maybe
some
of
the
questions
we
asked
how
people
came
to
their
positions.
I
I
would
love
to
come
back
sometime
as
a
private
citizen
and
give
you
my
opinions
and
my
you
know
my
take
on
it,
and
I
may
well
do
that,
but
I
represent
the
transportation
Safety
Committee
tonight,
not
a
respect
to
the
other
members.
I
would
just
kind
of
encourage
you
to
to
maybe
look
at
what
we
talked
about.
I
I
We
talked
about
ideas
that
we
could
do
to
get
what
we
discussed
those
evenings
back
to
you,
whether
we've
come
up
with
some
synopsis.
We
didn't
really
come
up
with
anything
it's
on
our
agenda
for
next
month.
I
think,
it's
probably
you
know,
there's
a
few
community
members
that
think
we've
done
our
part
and
it's
it's
time
to
move
on,
and
now
it's
in
your
hands
to
be
a
blind
about
it,
but
so
anyways
with
that
I
just
would
ask
that.
E
No
questions
but
thank
you
Dave,
so
much
for
a
comprehensive
report
and
just
all
of
your
input
and
service
to
the
committee
and
also
just
I
I,
like
a
nice
bulleted
report
like
this,
and
it's
helpful
to
me
too.
Just
to
you
know,
see
all
the
yeah
streets
laid
out
and
think
about
how
I
drive
and
walk
and
bike
around
Arcata.
So
just
thank
you
so
much
for
a
nice
clean,
excellent
report.
N
N
You
talked
about
scooters.
Eight
Street
sometimes
is
used
to
get
over
to
Sunset
and
offensive
Direction
with
skateboarders
scooters
bicyclists
that
seem
to
not
use
G
Street
to
get
over
there.
So
it's
very
popular
to
go
in
the
on
the
wrong
direction
on
the
bike
Lane
and
go
against
traffic,
which
at
some
point
someone's
going
to
go
ahead
on
with
the
vehicles
going
down
the
street
there.
Unfortunately,
so
that
needs
to
be
addressed.
N
There's
an
issue
there
and
I:
don't
see
anybody
saying
that
I'm
wrong
with
that
assessment
too,
which
is
I,
know
it's
kind
of
a
scary
thing,
but
there
are
problems
out
there
and
they're
not
being
addressed
and
I.
Don't
really
know
why
well
I
think
I
have
a
little
bit
of
an
idea.
I've
talked
a
year
ago
at
the
police,
basically
with
a
lot
of
General
problems,
but
it
was
sort
of
like
it
was.
A
very
unusual
comment,
pray
and
go
to
the
city
council.
N
N
Are
I
mean
what's
going
on
there
as
far
as
our
ratio
of
police
to
the
population,
because
you
know
I
read
a
lot
in
the
New
York
Times
They
have
a
section
on
California
and
a
lot
of
these
problems
are
are
kind
of
listed
up
there
and
they're
sort
of
basic
like
responses.
So
if
it's
a
lot
of
speeders-
and
you
don't
have
the
resources,
you
have
to
have
cameras
at
certain
intersections
and
they
learn,
they
get
a
ticket
in
the
mail,
it's
more
income
for
the
city.
N
Unfortunately,
even
with
that
approach,
they're
set
probably
25
miles
an
hour
they're
set
at
36,
so
people
learn
they
can
go,
get
away
at
35
miles
an
hour,
so
there's
always
limitations.
So
we
need
to
have
like
a
serious
conversation.
Maybe
the
police
chief
could
address
this
of
exactly
what's
the
state
of
the
city,
because
I
see
the
problems
and
I
don't
see
the
solutions.
O
O
There
was
one
time
when
I
was
not
able
to
access
the
meeting
and,
as
you
well
know,
I
like
to
be
there
in
person
to
the
meetings,
because
I
think
there's
just
so
much
more
seen
and
felt
and
heard
when
you're
in
person
and
I
wasn't
also
aware.
If
those
meetings,
those
committee
meetings
for
the
Transportation
safety
were
videotaped
to
follow
up
and
and
listen
to
them
afterwards.
So
that
was
one
of
my
questions.
O
You
know
monitoring
the
discussion
and
it
was
interesting
to
see
how
that
process
worked
and
the
input
that
people
were
able
to
give
on
that
thing.
So
I
sometimes
seen
how
other
people
do.
It
is
sort
of
interesting
and
they
really
do
have
a
a
great
opportunity
in
that
City
Hall
Chambers
to
get
a
lot
of
people
involved,
and
you
know
it's
different,
but
but
similar
things
are
being
discussed.
O
So
I
just
wanted
to
bring
up
those
issues
of
concern
about
public
participation
in
those
committee
meetings
that
are
still
on
zoom,
and
maybe
we
can
make
them
hybrid
real
soon
and
also
couplets
were
not
alone
on
concern.
Oh
I!
Guess
what
I
really
wanted
to
bring
up,
because
I
get
distracted
and
wander
down
a
weird
path?
Sometimes
a
winding
road
but
School
drop-offs
came
was
a
big
Topic
at
that
particular
discussion
in
Eureka
and
school.
O
Drop-Offs
are
a
really
huge
topic
to
me
in
terms
of
safety
and
climate
change
and
the
reality
of
our
future.
In
a
climate
action
plan
world
where
transportation
and
fossil
fuel
emissions
are
a
huge
component
of
what
we
need
to
reduce
School
drop-offs
are
a
big
concern,
so
the
High
School
on
16th
Street
is
a
parking
lot
for
blocks
and
I.
Think
the
school
district
needs
to
be
included
in
a
discussion
of
how
we
can
improve
safety,
especially
on
pickups
and
drop-offs,
at
in
front
of
schools,
even
the
high
school.
Thank
you.
P
Hello,
council
members,
Glenn
Colwell,
Western,
Avenue
Arcata
I'm
here
to
talk
about
safety,
increased
crime
in
my
neighborhood
and
the
condition
of
the
city-owned
footpath
that
connects
Alliance
to
Western
Avenue
top
of
the
put
path
is
directly
opposite.
My
property
on
Western,
which
we've
owned
since
1985.
Lance
road
footpath,
is
a
liability
to
the
city
in
our
neighborhood.
There
is
no
clear
line
of
sight
for
law
enforcement
because
of
its
design
and
interiating
condition
its
potential
lawsuit
waiting
to
happen.
P
I'm
here
to
Advocate
that
the
CD
either
number
one
install
a
no
climb
fence
at
the
top
and
bottom
of
the
path
with
Gates
that
are
open
and
closed
on
the
same
schedule
as
a
nearby
Arcata
skate
park
or
two
abandon
the
footpath
and
completely
fence
off
the
trail
and
secure
it
with
secure.
No
climb
fencing
the
safe
routes
to
school
improvements
that
were
installed
on
North
Street
in
18
2018
lead
directly
to
this
footpath,
which
is
100
non-compliant
with
the
design
criteria
of
those
improvements.
P
Property
crime
is
increasing
in
the
Western
Avenue
Sunset
area,
as
can
be
verified
by
the
city's
rims
database
maintained
by
APD
on
921.
Our
locked
truck
was
stolen
at
2
A.M,
while
parked
in
front
of
our
home
10
feet
from
where
we
were
sleeping.
This
is
the
second
car
theft
within
200
feet
of
our
home.
In
the
last
two
years,
the
same
night,
our
truck
was
stolen.
P
A
few
blocks
away,
neighborhood's
truck
neighbor's
truck,
had
its
Windows
smashed
in
a
theft
of
Temple
parked
on
Lincoln
a
few
weeks
prior,
another
neighbor
had
their
truck
tires
slashed,
while
parked
on
Grant
another
neighbor
on
Grant
had
their
baby
carriers
stolen
during
the
night
from
their
car.
Last
year,
our
neighbor
across
the
street
had
her
car
windows
smashed
overnight,
while
parked
next
to
our
home.
P
Unfortunately,
it
seems
the
foot
path
by
providing
a
known,
hidden,
dark
space
at
night
is
playing
a
role
in
property
crimes
in
our
area,
I've
spoken
with
police
chief
Ahern
about
the
footpath
he's
acknowledged.
It's
problematic,
sometimes
used
by
criminals
to
sort
stolen
goods,
purses
and
backpacks
taken
by
thieves
on
foot.
We
have
taken
to
placing
signs
like
this
inside
of
our
cars,
to
no
avail.
P
We
are
finding
used
syringes
on
the
footpath.
My
neighbor's
12
year
old
son,
uses
the
path
to
walk
to
school.
My
neighbor,
his
father,
has
witnessed
an
intravenous
drug
use
user,
injecting
himself
or
reclining
on
the
footpath.
During
the
day
we
are
all
on
edge.
Every
bump
of
the
night
causes
us
to
get
out
of
bed
and
check
to
see
if
our
property
or
cars
are
being
vandalized.
P
Recent
discussions
with
the
city
focused
on
the
low
38
home
ownership
rate
in
the
city
with
Trends
we
are
experiencing
Arcada
will
lose
more
families
like
ours
and
our
neighbors.
The
current
condition
of
the
footpath
is
a
problem
improvements.
The
path
made
by
the
city
a
decade
ago
are
now
failing.
The
safety
railings
have
gone
loose
and
rickety
soil,
slumping
and
erosion
are
occurring
and
there
are
slippery
mud
areas
during
the
wet
season.
P
With
the
potential
of
addition
of
102
housing
units
at
the
Westwood
Garden
Apartments,
there
will
be
an
increase
in
foot
traffic
as
well
as
additional
liability
for
the
city.
It
truly
saddened
me
to
think
about
locking
down
our
neighborhood
like
this,
but
things
are
getting
worse
there.
While
many
cities,
including
Arcata,
are
working
to
add
safe
pedestrian
infrastructure
and
footpaths
without
clear
policy
addressing
criminal
use
and
law
enforcement
on
footpaths,
we
are
in
danger
of
creating
additional
problems
while
attempting
to
solve
others.
P
Lastly,
I
want
to
sincerely
thank
Environmental
Services
director
Emily
sinkhorn,
for
offering
to
meet
with
our
neighborhood
group
on
October
12th
and
to
thank
Meredith
Matthews
for
meeting
with
us
on
the
trail
last
Sunday
morning,
I'm
happy
to
meet
with
any
of
you
at
any
time
to
look
for
solutions
to
this.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Q
Good
evening,
I'm
also
here
to
talk
about
this
Alliance
Road
footpath.
What
we
have
tried
to
tolerate
as
homeowners
in
the
immediate
neighborhood
on
Western
Avenue
in
the
sunset,
has
become
unlivable
folks,
you
need
to
wake
up.
The
alliance
Trail
is
now
signed.
Very
definitely,
a
city
sign,
there's
a
bright
LED
street
light
right
at
the
top
on
Western
Avenue.
So
this
becomes
a
criminal
Highway
and
don't
doubt
if
you
look
at
any
survey
of
recent
crime
in
the
last
six
months
in
our
neighborhood,
it's
it's
without.
We
can't
tolerate
it.
Q
Two
times
in
the
past
four
months
used
hypodermic
needles.
This
is
right
on
the
trail
right
by
the
Rocks,
where
moms
and
dads
come
with
their
strollers,
where
people
walk
their
dogs.
It's
we
can't
tolerate
this,
and
this
is
a
treacherous
footpath
for
our
children
to
get
to
the
elementary
school
now
with
the
safe
sidewalk.
That
goes
all
along
in
Sunset
to
to
the
elementary
I'm,
not
exaggerating,
saying
that
it's
a
treacherous
Trail,
only
very
able-bodied
people
can
do
this
and
it
becomes
even
worse
in
the
winter,
a
steep
eroding
uneven
stairs.
Q
They
aren't
to
regulation,
leaning,
handrail
rotten
falling
off.
This
is
your
property
City,
and
the
liability
is
just
waiting
to
jump.
I.
Don't
want
to
see
that
I
want
to
know
that
my
neighbors
are
safe,
that
we're
safe
at
night
and
on
average
about
every
two
weeks
anytime,
any
hour
of
the
night
arguments
fights
things
loud,
music
happens
and
we
have
to
holler
at
the
people.
You
know
go
away,
we'll
call
the
police
they
wake
up.
Q
They
wake
us
up,
they're,
making
our
student,
the
Cal
Poly
student,
tenants
that
that
live
in
the
neighborhood
also
feeling
very
unsafe
and
unsafe.
We
are
we're
asking
for
secure,
fencing
top
and
bottom
and
all
of
this
Trail
removed,
maybe
20
years
ago.
Somebody
thought
it
was
a
good
idea,
but
somebody
is
going
to
get
a
concussion
or
worse.
Q
Meredith
was
very
pleasant
to
meet
us
on
Sunday
morning,
seven
of
our
immediate
neighbors
met
with
her
over
half
hour,
walking
the
trail
discussing
it
in
the
course
of
that
they're
two,
maybe
10
year
old
boys
on
skateboards,
taking
them
down
the
trail
trying
to
ride
the
rails.
That
could
have
been
a
concussion
that
could
have
wiped
out
thousands
and
thousands
of
dollars
of
our
taxpayer
dollars
that
go
into
the
city
coppers.
So
you
guys
need
to
wake
up.
It
needs
to
be
addressed.
It
needs
to
be
rectified
immediately.
We
cannot
tolerate
this.
S
Hi
this
is
Jim
Becker
speaking
and
I
just
wish
to
follow
up
a
little
bit
about
the
sorry.
I
got
another
thing
going
here:
one
second
I
apologize,
so
I
did
want
to
speak
the
Arcata,
linear,
Park
and
just
revisit
it.
There
is
presently
a
website
that
I
put
out
where
we
are
running
a
online
petition
that
is
actually
gardening
people
from
the
area
and
also
from
around
the
state
which
I
think
is
helpful
too,
because
the
red,
the
great
Redwood
Trail,
will
definitely
be
welcoming
people
throughout
the
state.
S
There's
really
good
language
in
there.
As
far
as
the
city,
you
know
being
behind
what
was
a
strong
Community
interest
in
having
a
linear,
Park
and
they've
made
something
really
great
down
there.
There
are
some
links
on
there
to
the
Arcata,
linear,
Park
Facebook
page
and
also
to
the
arcade
linear,
Park
Instagram
page.
There
is
links
in
there
to
decision
makers
view
there.
S
The
Planning
Commission
Mike
McGuire
to
Steve
madrone
on
the
committee,
he's
I
think
the
vice
chair
for
the
committee
of
the
great
Redwood
Trail
and
just
keep
in
mind
that
Open
Spaces
to
the
North
and
South
will
be
paved
over.
This
is
kind
of
an
irreversible
situation
for
the
road
I
think
there
are
alternatives
out
there
that
we
should
consider
and
just
consider
what
this
could
represent.
S
R
A
K
A
You
know
in
various
forms:
email
at
meetings,
personal
conversations
and
I
know
like
I
personally,
have
an
intersection
that
I
think
is
unsafe,
so,
rather
than
kind
of
knowing
that
that
accident
happened
typically,
you
know
you
have
a
fender
bender.
You
work
it
out
with
the
other
driver,
your
insurance
and
you
go
from
there,
and
so
one
of
the
it
was
number
seven
in
the
TSC
report
is
talking
about.
A
One
of
their
goals
is
to
promote
the
street
story,
which
is
a
an
app
or
a
web-based
tool
that
citizens
can
use
to
report
unsafe
things
and
I
think
that
that
is
a
really
important,
I'm
glad
that
I
saw
that
on
there,
because
that's
one
way
to
help
get
the
those
statistics
for
your
area
is
we
all
just
need
to
take
responsibility.
I
just
assumed,
as
I
was
witnessing
witnessing
accidents
or
unsafe
behaviors
that
that
was
all
making
it
to
the
police
department,
but
it
doesn't
so.
H
M
Yeah
I
mean
to
me
it
sounds
like
you
know.
This
Alliance
neighborhood
needs
urgent
help.
It
seems
you
know,
definitely
pretty
problematic
too
many
times.
You
know,
I've
seen
us
as
a
council.
We
will.
You
know
we
do
really
care,
so
we
will
meet
with
these
community
members
and
listen
to
their
problems.
M
We'll
sit
up
here
and
not
our
heads
during
public
comment
and
then
time
happens.
It
kind
of
gets
forgotten
about,
and
you
know
nothing
gets
done
about
it.
So
you
know
I
think
this
is
a
good
challenge
for
us
to
kind
of
break
that
pattern.
You
know.
I
really
think
it's
appropriate
for
us
to
agree
to
take
urgent
action
on
this
problem.
M
You
know
agendize
it
for
our
next
council
meeting
and
start
talking
about
Solutions
I.
Think
two
weeks
you
know
is
a
lot
of
time,
for
you
know
the
council,
members
that
met
with
those
community
members
to
have
that
conversation
with
the
city
manager
and
bring
those
concerns
forward
and
for
us
to
have
that
conversation
about
Solutions
and
how
we
can
help
these
people
as
soon
as
possible.
M
H
M
C
M
A
E
M
H
E
And
I
would
love
to
also
just
add,
because
I
saw
you,
you
put
your
name
and
address,
but
I
don't
want
to
come,
knocking
on
your
door
if
we
could
get
some
an
email
or
a
phone
number
for
you
as
well.
Glenn
I'm,
just
because
I'm
very
familiar
with
that
path
as
well.
I
used
to
live
on
Stuart
court,
so
I'd
walk
a
little
Loop
up
the
really
nice
paved
path
and
beautiful
Bridge
up
into
Sunset
and
then
down
the
rather
Cuddy
little
path
back
to
Alliance.
A
Okay,
so
next
we
have
early
oral
Communications
and
the
city
council
values
your
comments.
This
15-minute
time
period
allows
people
to
address
the
Council
on
matters
not
on
the
agenda.
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
at
the
end
of
all
oral
Communications,
the
city,
the
council,
May,
respond
to
statements,
supported
requests
that
require
Council
actions
will
be
set
for
a
future
agenda
or
referred
to
staff.
Speakers
are
limited
to
two
minutes.
A
A
N
Council
of
the
square
allegiance
to
the
laws
of
the
State
of
California
and
August
23rd.
When
you
had
a
joint
session
of
between
the
plan,
commission
and
the
council,
I
objected
to
the
fact
that
you
were,
you
know
having
a
straw
vote
point
of
the
Gateway
project
and
part
of
my
objection
to
it
is
that
it's
not
even
your
role
to
make
that
decision.
It's
a
it's!
N
A
coastal
commission,
Coastal
commission,
there's
properties
from
8th,
Street
down
to
Samoa,
Boulevard
and
This
falls
under
their
jurisdiction,
terrification,
so
I'm
just
really
confused
how
how
long
this
has
been
going
on
and
why
the
staff
hasn't
advised
you
on
that
and
I'd
also
like
to
bring
up
the
point.
The
coastal
commission
has
also
made
a
ruling
in
the
last
meeting,
and
basically
that
was
part
of
your
phase.
N
One
wastewater
treatment
plant
that
you're
bringing
up
tonight
as
far
as
the
cost
of
it
and
part
of
that,
is
that
you,
your
hundred
thousand
dollar,
grant
that
you're
spending
for
part
of
it
a
sea
level
rise
and
part
of
it
is
improvements
to
the
plant.
You
have
I
think
18
months
as
part
of
your
Grant
to
come
back
and
a
part
of
that
is
identifying
sea
level
rise.
N
Where
are
you
going
to
move
that
plant
and
I've
been
told
by
another
number
of
sources
that
the
Gateway
project
was
the
area
with
a
barrel
District
where
that
was
supposed
to
go?
So
my
question
is
to
you
is:
how
can
you
make
that
decision
of
going
ahead
without
that
report,
the
coastal
commission
is
demanding
from
you
and
also
for
the
Sam.
N
O
Hi,
my
name
is
Joanna
Gary
and
I
sometimes
like
to
bring
some
visuals,
so
we
got
a
polar
bear
and
the
sea
level
is
rising
and
it's
a
little
bit
longer
to
less
than
my
talking
here.
But
again,
I
want
to
remind
the
city
of
Arcata,
the
city
council,
the
staff
that
we
really
are
in
a
climate
emergency
and
we
need
to
start
acting
as
if
we
are
in
an
emergency
and
I
really
am
concerned.
Well,
first
of
all
that
we
have
these
ceremonial
matters
and
it
takes
up
a
lot
of
council
time.
O
So,
if
that's
going
to
continue,
I
would
really
like,
in
the
beginning
of
each
meeting,
a
climate
action
report
about
what
the
city
is
doing
actively
to
thwart
the
climate
reality
and
to
lower
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
I
mean
a
specific
report
of
what
we
are
actually
doing
on
a
weekly
bi-weekly
basis
and
make
that
a
standard
part
of
our
City
Council
meetings.
O
I
also
appreciate
the
acknowledgment
that
is
read
prior
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting,
and
I
would
like
to
ask
if
a
written
form
of
that
could
be
placed
in
the
lobby
so
that
people
can
see
what
you
know.
We
are
dedicated
to
and
acknowledging
in
our
space
here
and
our
community
about
the
ancestral
lands
of
the
weak
people.
O
So
if
we
could
have
something
written
I
would
really
appreciate
that,
but,
as
you
know,
from
the
San
Francisco
Chronicle
cover
story,
we
are
Ground
Zero
for
a
lot
of
things
and
we
can
be
in
the
Vanguard
of
showing
people
how
we
adapt
and
mitigate
all
those
things.
So
we
are
an
emergency.
You
know,
there's
no
doubt
about
it.
It
doesn't
need
a
vote.
So
let
us
act
like
we
are.
Thank
you.
K
A
R
U
Ahead,
hi,
let's
see
I
just
wanted
to
just
make
a
statement.
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
think
Brett
is
a
really
good
person.
I've
actually
known
him
several
years
now
and
he's
always
been
really
dedicated
to
Arcata
Volunteers
in
the
community
and
he's
always
been
trying
to
make
the
city
a
better
place
and
I
do
know
that
he's
made
some
mistakes,
but
I
do
believe.
S
I
started
taking
care
of
this
during
the
last
time.
I
was
speaking,
but
I
failed
to
mention
during
the
time
when
Dave
Ryan
was
speaking,
his
volume
dropped
off
to
almost
zero
at
one
point
when
he
was
trying
to
describe
some
of
the
situations
that
went
on
with
his
meetings
and
I'm,
hoping
that's
something
that's
just
online
and
can
be
recovered
at
the
audio
end,
because
I
feel
and
that's
the
main
thing.
S
H
V
V
So
we
met
you
know
down
on
the
M
Street
and
what
she
said
was
that
we
have
to
wait
for
it
to
be
developed
to
make
any
progress
on
the
road,
and
then
I
pointed
to
many
newly
improved
roads
that
didn't
have
like
a
connection
to
development.
In
fact,
we
were
just
standing
at
the
corner.
You
could
look
all
the
way
up,
12th
Street
all
the
way
up
to
wild
berries
and
it
was
repaved
and
re-striped
and
everything.
V
So
then
after
that,
then
the
subject
changes.
Well
then,
if
we
pave
it,
she
said,
then,
if
we
pave
it,
people
will
only
drive
faster
and
so
I
just
I've.
Just
we
get
stuck
in
these
conundrums
where
I
don't
understand
how
we
move
forward
and
I
know.
Brett
Watson
was
just
trying
to.
You
know
try
to
move
forward
on
something,
and
maybe
it
was
not
procedurally
right
but
I'd
like
to
see
more
concern
on
behalf
of
the
city
council.
V
M
Just
want
to
quickly
say:
I
mean
I'd
really
like
to
see
the
staff
in
the
council
get
training
on
working
with
people
with
mental
health
issues
and
disabilities.
I
feel
like
that's
something,
that's
really
missing
from
the
trainings
we
receive,
and
you
know
it's
just
really
unfortunate.
When
you
know
people
are
dealing
with
depression
and
anxiety
and
serious
issues
in
their
life,
and
you
know
they
get
these
labels,
as
you
know,
being
unstable,
you
know
it
just
it
fuels
discriminatory
and
it
feels
inappropriate
and
I.
You
know
I
think
a.
A
Thousand
dollars
authorize
the
city
engineer
to
increase
the
contract
amount
by
up
to
25
500
18.75,
which
is
15
for
a
total
of
195
643.75
to
allow
for
any
unforeseen
contingencies
and
additional
work
as
necessary
and
authorize
the
city
manager
to
execute
all
applicable
documents.
Would
any
council
member
like
to
remove
an
item
from
the
insect
calendar.
C
E
A
All
right
sounds
like
that's.
Unanimous
motion
passes
okay,
so
next,
where
we
have
new
business
and
this
is
to
conduct
a
public
hearing
to
receive
input
regarding
unmet
Transit
needs
and
to
direct
staff
to
forward
all
comments
to
the
Humboldt
County
Association
of
government.
So
can
we
have
a
staff
report
from
city
engineer
Patrick?
Please.
L
Yes,
good
evening,
mayor
vice
mayor
council
members
and
the
member
of
the
public
here,
this
is
our
annual
public
hearing
for
the
unmet
transit
needs,
edgecog
administrators,
our
TDA
fund
for
all
transit
agencies,
and
this
public
hearing
is
one
of
the
requirements
to
use
the
transit
funds
goal
here
is
to
just
get
the
input,
and
once
we
receive
the
input,
we
will
be
forwarding
that
to
each
cargo
and
they
will
be
finalizing.
The
unmet
transit
needs
for
the
whole
region
by
early
next
year.
E
I
have
an
unmet
Transit
need
I've
heard
a
lot,
a
couple,
different
people
that
I've
talked
to
and
been
in
communication
with
about
improved
bus
routes
to
Bayside
and
having
bus
service
and
I
know.
I've
talked
a
little
bit
about
this
I'm
with
the
city
manager
as
well,
but
just
yeah,
whether
that
be
city,
bus
going
out
or
also
a
continuation
of
HDA
County
bus.
You
know
on
that
whole
route
out
through
Old,
Arcata
and
everything
through
there.
So
Bayside
needs
buses.
H
A
L
Yes,
you're
absolutely
correct
to.
If
you
want
to
start
a
new
route,
we
want
to
make
sure
our
Firebox
ratio
is
minimum
10th
person.
We
have
to
meet
that.
If
you
add
a
new
route
in
the
past,
HTA
has
tried
some
new
routes,
but
they
had
to
cancel
that
because
they
were
not
able
to
meet
that
minimum
10
fair
box
ratio
and
if
you
have
a
question
on
Fair
boxes,
so
I
can
explain
that
to
you.
A
I
think
the
key
is
when
you
know,
hopefully
getting
the
word
out
when
those
new
routes
get
trialed,
so
people
are
willing
to
try
them
out
and
get
the
ridership
going.
That's
that's
really
the
important
piece
so
that
we
can
keep
them
do
we
have
any
members
of
the
public
in
person
that
have
any
unmet
Transit
needs
that
they
would
like
to
bring
forth.
H
M
A
Okay,
we
have
Item
B
for
new
business,
which
is
to
waive
immaterial
and
minor
bid,
discrepancies
and
award
a
Construction
contract
for
phase
one
of
the
Arcata
wastewater
treatment
facilities,
Improvement
project
to
while
in
Construction
Incorporated
in
the
amount
of
51
million
495
thousand
dollars
and
57
cents
authorize
the
city
engineer
to
increase
the
contract
amount
by
up
to
three
million.
Eighty
nine
thousand
seven
I'll.
L
Be
bid
the
project
the
project
was
out
for
bid
for
at
least
60
days,
or
actually
it
was
more
than
that
because
we
had
to
issue
an
addendum.
We
received
two
bids
for
the
project.
One
was
from
Walden
construction
and
other
was
from
North
Coast
contractors
or
Constructors.
A
bit
summary
for
the
project
is
attached
with
your
staff
report.
L
Both
the
bits
were
reviewed
and
evaluated
for
completeness
consistency
to
ensure
both
the
bit
met.
The
project
contract
requirements
after
the
bid
opening
city
received
a
bid
protest
document
from
North
Coast
Constructors
challenging
the
responsiveness
of
volunt
construction
bid,
followed
by
a
response
to
the
bid,
protests
from
the
wall
in
construction,
city,
project
team
and
Consultants
reviewed
the
purchase
documents
and
believe
volunt
construction's
bid
is
responsive
and
responsible.
L
There
are
few
minor
discrepancies
in
the
volunt
Wallace
bid,
but
on
further
review
they
were
declared
immaterial
North
Coast
Constructors
raised
three
questions
on
their
bit:
protest
related
to
violence,
responsiveness
and
I'll.
Just
go
through
those
three
elements:
number
one
was
wall
and
construction
did
not
meet
the
project
requirement
to
list
a
completed
project
that
was
at
at
least
80
percent
of
the
value
of
this
project.
So
the
intent
behind
the
qualification
section
of
the
bid
to
determine
that
your
contractor
has
sufficient
experience
performing
work
on
projects
at
and
related
to
Wastewater
implants.
L
The
project
history
provided
by
the
wallet
demonstrate
that
they
have
experienced
to
do
the
work
of
the
projects
listed
within
the
last
five
years.
College
of
the
reduced
project
cost
is
listed,
was
listed
as
30
million
approximately
30
million
dollars.
This
is
approximately
77.5
of
the
engineer's
estimate
for
the
project.
L
This
is
just
two
and
a
half
percent
shy
of
the
project
requirement.
Hence
it's
immaterial
in
addition
to
that,
they
have
listed
other
small
projects
related
to
Modern
Wastewater.
That
shows
they
are
qualified
to
perform
the
work.
The
number
two
concern
that
was
raised
by
a
North
Coast
Constructor
was
Wallen.
Constructions
did
not
meet
the
project
requirement
to
list
projects
showing
proper
qualification
for
the
electrical
work
on
the
project.
L
This
section
of
the
bid
document
is
intended
to
review
qualifications
for
electrical
subcontractor
business
wallet.
Construction
is
self-performing
electrical
work
under
their
own
C10
license.
Therefore,
the
section
then
refers
to
their
overall
qualifications,
so
hence
they
meet
the
requirement
for
that
as
well.
Number
three
is
Walland.
Construction
did
not
meet
the
project
requirement
as
it
lists
a
demo
demolarization
amount
that
is
less
than
permitted
by
the
big
documents.
L
Funding
for
this
project
is
mainly
from
a
grant
through
State
revolving
fund,
and
there
are
some
portions
will
be
funded
by
CDC
refund,
while
speaking
with
our
Partners
at
the
state
water
board,
and
they
reviewed
the
bids
and
one
of
the
items
was
tidal
and
earthquake
insurance
and
they
have
said
that
they
will
be
not
paying
for
that
item.
So
hence
city
has
has
to
cover
that
item
and
that
item
cost
is
approximately
half
a
million
dollars.
Remainder
will
be
covered
by
the
state
evolving
fund.
L
I
just
want
to
maybe
give
big
kudos
to
the
city
team
and
the
partners
who
work
on
the
project.
As
I
said,
this
is
the
one
of
the
largest
project
in
the
city,
and
this
is
the
best
example
of
teamwork,
working
together
in
the
city
from
the
city
managers,
Department
to
finance
department
from
Community,
Development
Department
to
environmental
services
and
Engineering
all
working
together,
I
believe
there
are
at
least
one
or
two
staff
from
each
department
who
contributed
towards
work.
L
So
this
is
great
that
we
are
at
this
level
and
we
are
able
to
award
the
project
and
it's
fully
funded
and
we
can
start
the
construction
and
we
can
meet
the
compliance
and
fix
our
aging
infrastructure.
So
with
that,
I
will
conclude
my
staff
report.
If
you
have
any
questions
with
me
also,
if
you
have
any
further
questions,
we
have
Emily,
sinkhan
or
email
address
director,
Adobe,
who's,
a
project,
engineer
and
anti-demand.
L
A
L
T
On
you
know,
good
evening
you
had
the
city
Engineers,
absolutely
correct.
The
bid
specifications
specifically
identifies
that
only
and
I'm,
quoting
only
a
bidder
who
has
actually
submitted
a
proposal
is
eligible
to
submit
a
bid
protest
against
another
bidder.
So
the
the
protest
that
was
received
late
this
afternoon
by
Mercy
Frazier
isn't
eligible
for
being
considered
the
other.
Let's
use
that
here
too.
The
other
issue
is
that
it
came
in
late,
the
bid
specifications.
Oh
thank
you
right
there
in
front
of
me.
T
H
Thank
you,
but
I
I
do
think.
One
of
the
things
that
was
brought
up
is
the
electrical
subcommute
contractor,
and
that
is
in
this
also
there's
a
lot
of
concerns
about
that.
So
that's
what
I
feel
like
Mercer
Fraser
was
addressing
and
they
felt
like
they
like
they.
If
they
had
realized,
they
would
have
kept
their
bid
in
or
whatever
they
would
have
done,
but
we're
reading
all
this.
We
have
issues
with
this
like.
L
L
Okay-
yes,
definitely
sorry,
my
apologies,
so
I
can
speak
to
that.
I
did
talk
with
Mark
Benson
I
think
they
haven't
mentioned
my
name
on
the
letter.
So
I
did
speak
with
Mark
benzenger,
because
when
the
bidding
was
happening,
we
were
under
the
impression
that
Mercer
Fisher
will
also
be
somebody
in
the
bid.
But
after
looking
at
the
bid
at
the
bid
opening
date,
we
did
not
see
their
bids.
So
I
asked
him.
What
was
the
reason
you
did
not
submit
the
bid
and
his
reasoning
was.
L
E
We
just
read
it:
yeah,
no
I,
think
Andrew
Stan
what
you're
saying
Alex
I'm
just
about,
because
it
talks
about
like
the
strict
qualifications
for
that
electrical
contractor
and
not
being
able
to
meet
those.
So
could
you
just
maybe
clarify
a
little
bit
more
like
what
those
qualifications
would
be
and
why
somebody
think
would
think
that
they
would
not
meet
them
and
now
we're
seeing
that
okay
yeah
this
seems.
Okay,
you
are
going
to
meet
that,
and
so
the
kind
of
confusion
there.
If
you
have
Insight
on
that.
L
I
will
definitely
expand
on
that.
As
we
know,
this
is
the
one
of
the
largest
projects
we're
doing
the
city.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
the
contractor
we
get,
they
have
good
qualified
subcontractors
or
they
can
sell
from
the
electrical
work.
So
hence
there
was
a
requirement
to
have
certain
amount
of
work
to
be
done
and
in
a
certain
big
amount
of
work,
to
be
done
by
an
electric
contractor.
Who
is
qualified
to
do
the
work
in
this
case
our
low
bidder
here
at
wallan?
A
C
L
No,
this
is
one
of
the
largest
projects
we
have
done
in
the
past.
I
believe
you
know,
I,
don't
don't
quote
me
and
I
maybe
have
to
see
some
of
the
project
documents.
There
were
some
project
that
we
had
done
where
there
were
minor
irregularities
and
we
have
awarded
the
contract,
but
at
that
time
the
valley
was
in
the
range
of
three
to
five
million
dollars,
the
total
cost
of
the
project,
and
this
is
50
million
dollars
project.
So
definitely
this
larger
project.
E
E
L
So
today,
if
we
reject
the
bids
and
the
financial
impact
on
the
city
would
be,
we
are
on
a
strict
time
schedule
order
from
our
regional
water
column,
water
quality
control
board
to
meet
certain
deadlines
on
the
project,
so
that'll
be
delayed.
We
need
to
be
working
with
them,
because
once
we
reject
this,
we
have
to
modify
the
project
and
rebid
the
project,
which
will
at
least
take
three
to
six
months
on
that
and
also
I
would
say.
We
need
to
talk
to
our
financial
team
at
the
state
water
board.
L
M
Yeah
I'm,
just
you
know,
thinking
back
to
a
few
years
ago,
when
this
whole
project
originally
came
to
the
council.
You
know
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
I,
remember
my
first.
The
first
iteration
of
it
was
one
large
project
and
you
know
originally
I
think
one
of
the
recommendations,
or
maybe
one
of
the
leading
recommendations,
was
to
eliminate
the
March
system
as
part
of
the
filtration
process.
M
You
know,
there's
a
lot
of
discontent
about
that
from
the
community
and
you
know
I
think
we
ended
up
figuring
out
a
way
to
keep
the
marsh
that's
part
of
the
process
and
and
then
it
you
know,
went
into
well,
let's
break
it
up
into
two
pieces.
Maybe
we
can
just
do
part
one
first
and
see
how
it
goes
and
then
do
part
two
later,
and
you
know
after
we
can
kind
of
reassess.
Is
that
correct.
M
R
I
think
at
the
time,
you're
very
close
I
think
it
was
a
little
over
60
million
that
we
were
talking
about
and
part
of
that
in
that
period
was
to
say
this
is
what
we
think
that
we
can
raise
that
we
can
include,
within
the
rate
structure,
towards
improvements
at
that
time.
I
think
we,
the
council,
requested
and
and
staff,
certainly
would
be
diligent
about
finding
additional
Grant
Monies.
R
M
M
M
R
I,
don't
know
if
you
can
ever
rule
that
out,
but
I
will
say
is
this
is
the
best
financial
position
that
we
have
in
at
least
my
time
here
at
the
city
ever
been
in
in
terms
of
sitting
in
the
quicker
we
move
the
more
access
to
those
Grant
funds.
We
will
have
to
do
this
phase.
One
with
you
know,
maybe
we're
looking
at
80
plus
percent
in
Grant
funds
and
spending.
You
know
very
little
of
the
money
that
we
had
set
aside
initially
and
that
we
are
garnering
towards.
R
That
is
pretty
incredible,
but
you
know
looking
at
phase
two
I
mean
part
of
it.
Remember
we
we
put
off
phase
two
to
see
what
level
of
compliance
do
we
get
from
phase
one
in
conjunction
with
our
other
sewer
project
you
approved
tonight
and
a
large
we're
working
on
a
10
million
ini
project
to
bring
back
to
the
council.
That's
in
your
CIP
this
year,
as
well
in
the
budget
to
work
on
so
garnering.
R
What
we
get
in
terms
of
capacity
and
compliance
through
all
of
those
projects
in
the
next
couple
of
years
as
well.
We
will
be
assessing
as
to
whether
or
not
you
know
how
critical
phase
two
is
and
what
the
timeline
of
that
is.
You
know
I
can't,
but
prices
are
going
up
when
we
look
at
the
bid
prices
here,
they're
tremendously
higher.
We
don't
see
that
going
back
down.
Unfortunately,
it
does
create
a
sense
of
urgency
to
get
this
needed.
Maintenance
and
repair
work
done
on
this
phase.
One
I
think
sooner
than
later,
as
well.
M
Thank
you
appreciate
that,
so
you
know
and
like
when
we
talk
about
the
financial
stability
and
the
financial
position,
the
city's
in
you
know,
one
thing
I
think
it's
important
that
we,
you
know
kind
of
obviously
always
keep
in
mind,
are
revenues
coming
into
the
city,
and
you
know
one
thing
I've
requested
is
the
quarterly
reports
we
get
from
HDL.
That
kind
of
highlight
you
know
all
of
our
top
25
tax
revenue,
generators
for
the
city
and
I,
don't
believe
the
council's
received
any
of
that
information.
M
R
Okay,
I
do
I
agree
that
those
are
important
documents
and
and
the
council
should
receive
those,
and
that
is
in
in
process,
but
I
do
want
to
just
point
out
that
what
you
see
in
sales
tax
revenue
associated
with
those
reports
is
not
water,
sewer,
Revenue.
So
those
are
very
separated
revenues.
They
are
certainly
economic
indicators.
You
know
to
your
point
there,
but
they
are
not
revenues
that
would
be
used
towards
this
project.
M
Sure
and
I
agree,
you
know
the
importance
of
the
economic
indicator
being
you
know
how
that
might
be
tied
to
connected
to
our
residents.
You
know
rate
payers
ability
to
actually
pay
their
utility
bills,
so
I
feel
like
that's
the
important
connection
there
and
it's
I
guess
you
know
just
it's
also
concerning
to
me
that
we
didn't
have
that
information
when
we
approved
the
budget-
and
you
know
every
for
the
five
years
I've
been
on
the
council,
we
always
got
to
promptly
a
recorder,
so
yeah
I
mean
it
would
be.
M
So
you
know
it's
now
that
the
cost
of
phase
one
has
gone
up
to
55
million
dollars
when
we
thought
that
was
going
to
be
the
cost
of
both
phases
together.
It's
just
really
makes
it
questionable
to
me
if
we
should
be
if
this
is
the
best
use
of
55
million
dollars
of
taxpayer
money,
you
know,
maybe
we
should
be
putting
that
money
towards
the
much
larger
expense,
a
larger
project,
of
moving
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
out
of
an
area
susceptible
to
sea
level,
race.
Those
are
those
are
my
comments
right
now.
E
M
Please
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
you
know
they
do
support
and
in
some
instances
will
allow
reparation
of
existing
fortifications,
but
they
are
typically,
you
know,
have
a
pretty
strong
opinion
against
building
brand
new
sea
walls.
I
think
they're,
maybe
they've
even
put
the
moratorium
on
it.
So,
as
far
as
you
know,
creating
you
know,
I
think
some
people
have
this
idea
in
their
mind
that
we
can
just
build
this
big
wall
to
hold
the
ocean
back.
M
H
A
Let's
go
ahead
and
open
up
public
comment,
so
just
a
it's,
it's
been
a
minute
since
we've
done
something
like
this
here,
so
I
just
want
to
be
really
clear.
Do
does
everyone?
What
are
our
policies
regarding,
like
the
applicants,
does
everyone
get
a
three
minutes,
or
do
we
give
more
time
for
the
applicants
to
or
the
midwinners
to
explain,
what's
a
normal
procedure.
R
W
If
there's
anybody
on
the
phone
from
the
protesting
bidder,
that
might
have
something
to
say
that
I
might
want
to
respond
to
so
maybe
we
can
address
that
when
the
time
comes,
but
thank
you
Council.
Council
members,
my
name
is
Trevin
Tilbury,
representative
Walland
construction,
the
the
low
lowest
responsible
and
responsive
bid
on
the
project
I
had
some
kind
of
comments
prepared
to
to
go
over
and
then
some
questions
came
up
and
I
want
to
try
to
hit
each
of
those
things
and
I'll
be
as
quick
as
I.
W
Possibly
can
one
of
the
one
of
the
things
I
think
and
all
the
most.
The
vast
majority
of
this
has
been
addressed
in
the
letter,
briefs
that
went
back
and
forth
the
protests
and
the
response
Etc
that
that
staff
has
reviewed
in
some
detail
so
I'm
going
to
try
to
hit
the
highlights.
One
of
the
things
that
council
member
Schaefer
I
think
it
is
asked
about
was
what
happens
if
the
bid
is
rejected
and
and
that
gets
off
into
some
pretty
deep
Weeds
about
public
bidding
law.
W
But
the
the
basics
of
this
is
that
the
this,
the
qualifications
that
that
North
Coast
has
challenged
for
Walland
when
there's
a
challenge
like
that,
the
courts
tend
to
look
at
it
through
a
different
lens
and
that
that
lens
is
a
responsibility
lens
instead
of
the
responsiveness
lens.
I
won't
bore
you
with
the
details
of
that,
but
responsibility
has
to
do
with
whether
the
contractor
can
actually
perform
the
work
as
promised,
and
so
anytime
you're
looking
at
their
capabilities.
W
You're
looking
at
responsibility
and
what
the
courts
California
courts
have
said
is
that,
if
you're
going
to
reject
a
bid
based
on
responsibility,
you
have
to
give
that
contractor
a
couple
of
things.
One
of
those
is
a
due
process
hearing
where
they
get
to
come
in
and
put
on
evidence,
and
the
idea
is
that,
if
you,
if
you
find
them,
non-responsible
it's
going
to
affect
them
down
the
line
on
other
projects,
because
they're
going
to
have
this
sort
of
Mark
against
them.
W
No
excuse
me
I,
think
it's
more
than
that.
But
if
you
apply
that
30
36
percent
escalation
If
you
bid
that
project
today,
you'd
be
looking
at
a
60
million
dollar
project
would
be
well
in
excess
of
the
actual
contract
price.
Much
less.
The
engineers
estimate
is
there.
Are
there
any
questions?
I
can
answer
here.
A
N
I'm
really
surprised
from
the
Planning
Commission
and
the
council
hasn't
even
read
the
response
from
the
coastal
Commission,
because
the
questions
you're
even
asking
tonight
is
a
reflection
that
you
haven't
even
looked
at
it
part
of
the
reason
why
one
and
two
weren't
combined,
because
the
coastal
commission
wasn't
going
to
go
for
it
because
of
a
levy
enhancement.
So
that's
the
reason.
Only
phase
one
was
approved
because
it
has
to
do
with
water
quality.
N
They
pretty
much
send
a
pretty
clear
message
in
their
response
that
they're
not
too
excited
about
Levy
enhancement,
so
I,
don't
think,
there's
going
to
be
a
phase
too,
but
if
you
want
to
look
at
phase
two
phase,
two
from
the
city
standpoint
in
writing
and
verbally
to
the
coastal
commission,
was
33
000
more
that
they
want
5.5
for
Levy
enhancement.
So
that's
a
lot
of
money
on
top
of
what
you're
approving
tonight,
so
I,
don't
know
of
any
investment
that
the
city
has
made
into
Gateway
prod
project
I,
don't
know!
F
B
O
Hi,
my
name
is
Joanne
McGarry
and
I
am
very
concerned
about
the
history
of
this
whole
project
and
how
we
end
up
kind
of
racing
to
put
Band-Aids
on
something
instead
of
trying
to
avoid
the
accident
in
the
first
place
and
I
know,
many
of
you
are
new
on
the
council
and
I'm,
not
an
expert
and
not
well
learned
on
the
specifics
of
this
particular
project.
50
million
dollars
is
a
whole
lot
of
money.
O
So
whatever
you
do
tonight,
just
also
really
think
about
actively
thinking
about
the
future
and
what
we're
going
to
need
to
do
pretty
much
sooner
than
later
in
the
future.
So
I
can't
speak
about
this
specific
allotment
of
money
if
it's
coming
through
and
we
have
it
set
aside
and
it's
not
going
to
hopefully
result
in
huge
increases
to
landowners
of
which
I'm
a
tenant
in
a
land
or
anything
and
don't
want
their
rates
to
go
up.
O
R
X
Can
okay,
hi
city
council
members,
I'm
Cliff
poulton,
with
McCullough
construction,
we're
located
here
in
Arcata
and
I'm
representing
a
North,
Coast
contractors
JV.
We
were
the
second
bidder
on
this
project,
the
responsible,
responsive,
low
bidder.
Please
understand
that
we
spent
an
enormous
amount
of
time
to
bid
a
job
like
this.
X
We
went
way
out
of
our
way
follow
the
specifications
for
this
job,
including
a
joint
venture
with
a
fully
qualified
team
from
out
of
the
area,
and
you
know
make
sure
that
we
were
meeting
the
spec
a
staff
report
before
you
says
that
wall
and
bids
that
the
wall
and
bid
essentially
meets
the
requirements,
the
job
specifications
with
only
inconsequential
variations.
That
should
be
waived.
X
X
Y
Okay,
my
name
is
Chelsea
Rios
and
I'm,
also
with
McCullough
construction,
our
partner
in
the
North
Coast
Constructors.
The
bidder
on
this
project.
First
off
I
just
want
to
make
a
point
to
the
council
that
there
was
a
comment
made
earlier
by
Nancy,
and
it's
a
bit
concerning
possible
collusion
that
if
Wallen
construction
is
awarded
this
project-
and
there
is
a
lawsuit
Wallen
would
cover
the
city's
legal
fees.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
city
knows
that
that
is
grounds
for
collusion.
Y
Y
Y
The
whole
point
of
the
electrical
qualification
is
not
only
to
show
that
the
general
contractor
has
the
qualifications
for
the
project,
but
they
did
that
the
electrical
work
is
also
done
by
a
qualified
electrician
as
well,
while
Wallen
does
have
considerable
experience
as
a
GC
on
this
type
of
work,
there's
nothing
in
his
bid,
docs
that
show
that
he
has
completed
work
that
is
even
close
to
the
bid
required
experience
as
an
electrician
Wallin.
Only
added
an
electrical
license
to
his
General
license
in
January
of
2021.
Y
spec
calls
for
a
minimum
of
five
years
of
electrical
experience,
as
well
as
a
job
that
is
80
of
the
value
of
this
job.
The
largest
completed
electrical
job
that,
while
enlisted
in
his
bid
docks,
is
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars,
assuming
that
the
electrical
for
this
project
is
at
least
12
million
dollars.
This
is
just
over
one
percent
in
lieu
of
the
required
80
percent.
Y
This
staff
report
completely
ignores
the
qualification
requirements
for
the
electrical
portion
of
the
work
stating
that
the
GC
has
an
electrical
license
and
that
somehow
that
relieves,
the
GC
of
having
to
have
any
electrical
qualifications
again,
contrary
to
state
law.
If
this
is
the
standard
it
has
to
be
so
stated
in
the
specifications.
Y
A
You
know
checking
back
with
other
folks
to
make
sure
that
we
are
doing
things
legally
and
correctly
and
so
with
I
guess.
My
question
is
with
different
things
that
you've
heard
brought
up
in
public
comment.
Is
there
anything
that
changes?
The
recommendation
that
you
have
for
us
tonight?
Have
you
heard
anything
that
causes
concern
or
would
change
that
recommendation.
T
No
I
I,
haven't
I
will
say
that
the
wall
in
construction
Indemnity
is
is
in
its
capacity
as
real
party
and
interest
which
obligates
it
to
defend
the
lawsuit.
It
is
not
a
collusionary
matter
and
I
also
did
want
to
have
to
be
given
advance
notice
that
That's
the
basis
for
rejecting
a
bid,
but
I
I.
Think
the
the
quick
Point
here
is
that
in
in
a
staff
does
not
have
concerns
about
qualifications.
T
The
only
issue
that
staff
is
asking
the
council
to
affirmatively
acknowledge
and
waive
are
the
minor
irregularities
of
the
bid
to
the
the
bid
specifications,
and
that
is
something
that
is
a
conferred
totally
to
the
discretion
of
the
city
council.
It
is
not
something
that
is
determined
de
novo
or
separately
or
independently
by
an
appellate
court.
Responsiveness
is
based
on
the
the
bid
document
itself.
T
It
doesn't
look
beyond
the
bid
document
and
on
the
face
of
the
bid
document,
it
is
actually
very
common
for
construction
projects
to
come
forward
with
irregularities
and,
and
it
is,
it
is
within
the
city's
discretion
to
say
it
is
immaterial.
The
contractor
will
perform
the
work
as
it
was
bid
and
that
that
is,
it
I
think
you
know
if
I
went
on
too
long,
but
I
think
it's
an
important
distinction.
Z
Pleasure
to
be
here,
Fallen
construction
has
been
doing
Wastewater
projects
for
approximately
32
years,
and
all
we
do
is
waste
water.
We
do.
10
percent
is
other
projects,
but
90
percent
of
our
work
is
water
and
wastewater,
and
you
can
see
that
by
our
resumes
sent
in
and
we
in
2007
to
2010
we
did
the
Crescent
City
Wastewater
project
that
was
bid
at
35
million,
went
up,
37
million.
Z
Z
Z
The
value
in
our
mind
is
current
can
be
current
value,
so
the
current
value
for
these
projects,
like
the
Crescent
City
Wastewater,
would
be
62
million.
So
we
do
meet
the
criteria
for
the
80
percent
and
I'd
like
to
also
point
out.
Most
of
my
staff
is
here
tonight
and
I'd
like
to
State.
My
wife
and
I
started
this
business
back
in
1989.
Z
and
we
started
it
as
a
I
was
the
president
and
we
started
a
corporation.
So
she
had
to
be
the
secretary
treasurer
and
vice
president,
so
she
did
a
great
job.
We
started
out
and
we
slowly
moved
up
to
this
point.
So
we
have
a
very
good
track
record
of
moving
up
to
this
point,
and
our
bonding
company
has
recognized
that
and
says.
Okay,
you
can
get
a
bid
Bond,
because
you've
proven
that
you
can
graduate
up
to
here.
You
have
the
working
capital
to
do
the
project
and
we've
also
picked
up.
Z
You
know
Brett
Reinhardt,
over
on
the
far
end,
he's
worked
with
me
since
2005
down
the
city
of
fortuna
and
we've
grown
in
our
relationship
and
he's
going
to
be
a
very
important
part
of
this
project,
because
he's
been
working
on
a
process
of
Wastewater
and
water
plants
for
that
amount
of
time
from
2005.
Actually
it
was
bid
in
2004.
So
it's
almost
been
18
years
now
that
we've
been
doing
nothing
but
waste
water
and
treatment
projects
and
together,
and
then
he
has
a
lot
of
familiarity
with
all
these
projects.
Z
Z
So
the
point
is
that
he's
been
in
the
worst
scenarios
of
processing
equipment,
mechanical
equipment.
So
he
can
step
in
anytime.
We
have
a
conflict
or
we
have
something
that
we
don't
think
the
engineers
drawing
can
come
up
with
and
we'll
assist
with
that,
and
then
Brett
also
is
a
civil
engineer.
Registered
and
I
have
Greg
Hufford
here
that
came
over
from
shn
who's
very
familiar
with
engineering
and
he's
a
registered
civil
engineer.
Z
I've
got
two
civil
engineers,
a
mechanical
engineer
on
staff,
which
is
unheard
of
so
we
can
handle
just
about
anything
that
comes
up.
We
currently
have
a
120
million
dollar
bonding
capacity,
so
this
job
isn't
even
going
to
phase
our
capacity
and
we
don't
get
that
capacity
just
given
to
us.
You
have
to
show
30
years
of
gradually
saving
working
capital
and
getting
up
to
where
you
have
enough
working
capital
to
do
these
jobs
or
you
can't
even
bid
them
so
and
then
I've
got
Kyle
Brown.
Z
Here
we
picked
up
Redwood
electric
who's
been
in
business
for
20
years
here
locally
and
all
of
his
experience
and
electrical
he
does
high
voltage,
which
is
unheard
of.
Everybody
comes
to
us
to
do
the
high
voltage
work
now
and
there
we
picked
up
all
of
their
experience
and
his
time
involved
in
in
the
electrical
business
so
yeah.
It's
true
that
we
just
got
our
C10
license
and
picked
that
up,
but
his
experience
is
what
we're
working
with
here
and
NCC
states
that
well,
he
just
got
a
license
a
year
ago.
Z
Well,
their
joint
venture
license
was
received,
I
believe
on
August
6th
of
22.,
so
their
joint
venture
license.
Not
only
was
picked
up
last
minute.
It
was
a
joint
venture
license.
That
is
an
LLC,
so
it's
pretty
hard
for
for
them
to
be
hypocritical
about
what
we
submitted
when
their
grossly
and
compliant
with
the
requirements.
So
I
also
have
Carly
harpen
here,
she's
our
office
manager
and
she
does
a
great
job,
getting
the
job
set
up
with
some
middles
and
making
sure
that
all
of
the
ocean
requirements
and
everything
are
met.
Z
Z
M
So
I've
worked
on
this
issue
more
than
any
other
issue
in
the
city
in
my
five
years
and
met
with
staff
many
meetings
with
staff,
many
tours
of
the
plan,
I've
traveled
to
Coastal
commission
meetings,
I've
traveled
to
other
cities
to
tour
their
wastewater
treatment
facilities
and
I've
met
with
the
coastal
commission
staff,
and
he
just
you
know,
there's
just
a
lot
of
things
that
concern
me
about
it.
The
you
know,
cost
seemingly
doubling
the
unfinancial
certainty
of
the
city.
M
You
know
missing
key
economic
indicators
that
have
you
know
seemingly
been
with
health
in
the
public
and
I.
Do
you
know
agree
that
we
as
a
city
are
not
doing
enough
to
prepare
our
city
for
sea
level
rise
and
to
spend
55
million
dollars
on
infrastructure?
That's
in
sea
level
rise
area.
When
we
know
we
can
see
the
writing
on
the
wall.
Is
that
we're
going
to
have
to
move
the
plan
and
that's
going
to
cost?
You
know
who
knows
how
many
more
millions
of
dollars?
M
So
you
know
I,
don't
you
know,
have
any
specific
issues
with
the
the
bids
or
the
contractors
working
on
it
but
yeah.
You
know
those
are
my
feelings
on
it
and
you
know
I'm
it's.
It's
also
confusing
to
me
that
you
know
how
the
cost
is
is
doubled
without
you
know
the
council
kind
of
being
a
kept
abreast
of
those
increases,
the
costs
over
time.
So,
for
those
reasons,
I
I'm
not
gonna,
be
able
to
support
this
tonight.
Thank
you.
M
A
A
Okay,
so
next
we
have
oral
Unwritten,
Communications
and
the
city
appreciates
public
input.
This
time
is
provided
for
people
to
address
the
council
or
submit
written
Communications
on
matters
that
are
not
on
the
agenda.
Please
know
that
pursuant
to
the
brown
act,
Council
cannot
discuss
or
take
action
on
items
that
are
not
listed
on
the
posted
agenda
at
the
end
of
all
oral
and
written
Communications,
the
council
May
respond
to
statements
supported
requests
that
require
Council
action
will
be
set
by
the
council
for
a
future
agenda
or
referred
to
staff.
A
O
I'm
I'm,
always
still
here,
as
I,
told
the
previous
council
members
a
few
years
ago.
This
is
better
than
Netflix
as
far
as
I'm
concerned,
but
I
have
sent
to
you.
Emails
periodically
and
I
was
a
little
disconcerted.
That
I
only
got
one
reply,
so
I
hope
you
have
seen
and
read
my
emails
and
just
as
a
a
courtesy,
it
would
be
nice
just
to
have
you
just
send
back
a
quick
thanks
for
your
email.
O
The
overview
effect
is
the
impact
looking
back
at
Earth
has
on
the
astronauts
who
are
up
there
in
space,
and
so,
as
we
decide
on
the
minutia
and
the
monies
and
the
material
matters
in
our
Locale
of
Arcata
California,
Humboldt,
County
USA
I
just
want
to
encourage
you
to
continually
think
about.
You
know
those
immediate
local
issues
and
matters
that
we
have
to
act
upon
in
you
in
your
capacity
as
council,
members
and
staff
and
me
as
Citizens
think
about
I.
O
Just
would
hope
that
you
take
moments
to
pull
back
and
think
about
the
bigger
picture,
because
everything
we
do
in
the
little
things
or
the
major
Investments
locally
do
have
the
impact
on
a
global
sense
or
a
planetary
sense.
So
I
just
have
for
you,
and
this
has
nothing
to
do
with
any
other
issue
that
is
local
and
being
discussed.
O
But
I
have
for
each
of
you
an
Earth
flag
because
I
want
you
to
remember
the
overview
effect
and
think
about
that,
and
maybe,
if
you
need
to
hang
it
somewhere,
where
you'll
see
it
periodically
to
recall
what
I'm
hoping
to
ask
you
to
do
along
with
me
in
that
regard.
So
here
we
go.
Karen
already
has
a
couple
and.
N
I
would
like
to
know
when
I'm
going
to
get
an
answer
from
the
standpoint
I
mean
we
have
a
coastal
commission
and
we
have
laws,
and
why
is
why?
Is
it
that
you
think
that
you
could
put
eight
stories
in
the
coastal
commission
when
they
clearly
have
jurisdiction
and
have
said
this
is
their
their
call
on
it?
N
Is
the
address
sea
level
rise
and
also
answer
some
of
those
questions
that
clearly
none
of
you
have
read
as
far
as
addressing
where
you're
going
to
move
that
plant,
and
there
has
been
a
lot
of
talk
about
that
plant's
best
location
is
basically
in
the
barrel
District.
So
I
don't
see
how
you
guys
can
come
up
with
voting
on
this.
When
you
don't
have
those
answers,
you
don't
have
the
report
that's
18
months
from
now,
according
to
the
city.
N
So
why
do
you
keep
on
acting
like
this
is
not
like
a
big
deal.
You
know
it.
I
mean
I'm,
just
blown
away
that
there
are
laws
you
swore
to
uphold
the
laws
of
the
State
of
California.
I.
Understand
that
your
position
here
is
you've
got
a
lot
on
your
plate,
so
I'm
not
expecting
you
to
be
experts,
but
at
least
you
should
be
asking
staff,
and
why
is
staff
not
giving
you
this
information?
N
This
process
did
not
come
from
the
community,
it
didn't
come
from
Architects.
It
didn't
come
from
Urban
designers
because
they
wouldn't
do
this.
They
would
they
would
have
like
quitted
frustration
from
the
option.
You
only
gave
one
option:
that's
not
how
it
works.
You
know,
creative
people
have
lots
of
options,
and
then
you
basically
narrow
that
down
to
some
really
good
answers
and
that's
what
happens
with
Urban
Design
is
that
you
have
a
lot
of
input
from
the
public.
N
K
Hello,
thank
you.
You
know
I
actually
kind
of
wanted
to
Second.
What
gentleman
before
me
was
saying
I'm
really
curious
about
what
goes
into
the
decision
making
in
the
city
council,
because
I'm
often
surprised
at
how
so
many
people
in
the
public
will
have
opinions
that
are
different
than
what
you
guys
seem
to
be
voting
on
and
I
don't
mean
that
in
any
any
way,
I
respect
the
work
that
you're
doing.
But
I
am
especially
at
that
last
last
decision.
K
There
was
a
lot
of
stuff
thrown
out
there
and
there's
a
lot
of
pressure
and
I
really
appreciate
and
respect
the
work
that
you
guys
are
doing
and
that
you
understand
what
those
people
were
saying
there
to
a
higher
degree
than
I
could
but
still
I'm,
very
confused
and
almost
concerned
with
a
lot
of
the
decisions
that
I
see
being
made
and
a
lot
of
the
reluctancy
to
kind
of
engage.
The
public
more
I've
seen
some
of
it,
which
was
really
great
and
I've.
K
R
Just
wanted
to
share
with
the
council
that
we
did
have
a
social
media
threat
that
came
through
around
the
Arcata
High
campus.
Today,
it
did
result
in
a
fairly
significant
response
from
our
Police
Department.
We
did
put
out
a
press
release
and
you
know
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
the
work
of
the
school
and
the
police
department
today,
in
cooperation
with
each
other.
In
handling
that
event,
it
did
end
up
being
a
social
media
post
that
was
posted
by
an
Arcata
High
student,
a
14
year
old
student.
R
Our
detectives
working
with
the
school
were
able
to
identify
that
individual,
unfortunately
very
young
person,
but
taken
into
custody
and
is
in
juvenile
hall.
Today.
There
was
no
immediate
threat
to
campus
in
the
end,
but
the
campus
was
on
lockdown
for
a
period
of
time
and
the
administration
and
the
staff
in
the
high
school
were
excellent
about
communicating
with
the
police
department
and
vice
versa.
So
you
just
wanted
to
it's,
not
a
not
a
good
situation
for
our
community
and
the
families,
but
very
well
handled
around
for
the
safety
of
our
kids.
Today,.
M
M
Quicker
than
that
excellent
and
then
I
had
emailed
our
city
computer
person,
it
you
know
kind
of
looks
like
a
bunch
of
emails
in
my
email,
account
have
been
destroyed
and
I
know
that
only
the
staff
has
the
ability
to
do
that.
The
council
can't
do
that
and
he
stopped
replying
to
me.
I
was
wondering
if
you
had
an
update
on
what
happened
to
my
emails.
R
M
And
then,
during
the
study
session
with
the
Planning
Commission,
it's
you
know,
my
perception
was
it
of
it.
Was
that
several
times
multiple
planning,
Commissioners
and
then
you
know,
multiple
council
members
agreed
and
then
reasserted
their
desire
for
a
third
party
polling
agency
consultant
to
pull
the
residents
the
voters.
Constituents
on
you
know
how
they
felt
about
the
Gateway
plan
and
I
was
wondering
what
the
status
is
of
that.
R
We
have
reached
out
to
a
couple
of
polling
agencies
around
that.
At
this
point,
it's
on
hold
waiting.
The
Planning
Commission
was
intending
on
having
a
larger
discussion
about
the
Gateway.
At
their
last
meeting,
they
had
a
current
planning
project
that
took
up
the
bulk
of
that
meeting,
so
we
were
holding
on
some
direction
from
the
Planning
Commission
to
be
able
to
package
what
all
of
their
needs
were
and
that's
where
the
status
of
that
is.
M
Great
and
then
yeah
just
a
request
on
the
status
of
some
of
the
agenda
items
I
requested
a
couple
months
ago.
At
that
meeting
you
know
I
suggested
that
we
discuss
paying
planning
Commissioners
for
their
service
when
I
researched
it
other
cities
do
do
that
and
it
seemed
like
there
was
a
consensus
amongst
the
council
that
we
should.
You
know,
have
that
conversation.
M
So
I
was
wondering
when
that
might
be
coming
to
us,
and
I'd
also
requested
that
we
look
at
you
know
giving
some
of
our
committee
members
some
form
of
conversation
as
well.
So
you
know
I
do
feel
like
you
know
it
would
be
appreciated
by
them,
and
you
know
we
just
approved
a
60
million
dollar
budget,
and
what
we're
hearing
is
that
you
know
everything's,
sunshine
and
rainbows
with
their
finances.
It
seems
pretty
reasonable
that
you
know
we
could
help
out
our
residents.
Our
volunteers.
H
A
A
Looked
it
up
so
if
if
I
can
interject
so
I
did
get
that
email
and
I'll.
Just
let
you
guys
know
what
my
thinking
is
behind
it
and
if
you
feel
differently,
then
so
be
it
that
that
would
be
a
conversation.
It
definitely
is
a
conversation
and
it
seems
more
appropriate
to
have
it
at
goal
setting
and
budget
time.
But
if
anybody
would
like
to
have
it
sooner,
then.
H
So
no,
no,
no,
no
I
just
wanted
to
I
couldn't
understand
everything
he
was
saying
so
I'm.
Just
trying
to
reiterate
it
so
I
can
understand
it
and
I
would
agree
that
then
we
could
have
volunteers
that
got
paid.
You
know,
I
I,
don't
agree
with
that
at
this
point
and
I
think
if
you
want
to
bring
it
up,
if
we're
goal
setting
or
something
that
could
be
but
I,
don't
think
that's
the
way
we
need
to
go
at
this
time,
even
though
you
period.
E
It's
not
necessarily
a
report
of
my
own,
but
I
was
driving
on
Foster
today
and
I
just
want
to
comment
about
and
I
know.
We
have
some
parks
and
environmental
service
people
here
about
how
wonderful
Shea
park
looks
and
the
improvements
in
the
playground
or
the
Ninja
Warrior
workout
playground,
whatever
you
want
to
call
it.
It
just
looks
super
cool
and
I
can't
wait
for
it
to
be
open
and
check
it
out,
and
it's
walking
distance
from
my
house.
It's
a
great
location
for
a
lot
of
people
to
be
able
to
use
it.
C
H
I
have
no
idea,
but
I
can
give
my
report,
so
HTA
sold
their
cell
tower
that
they
had
on
their
lot,
where
all
the
buses
have
parked
and
they've
sold
it
for
1.4
million
dollars,
and
that
money
then
goes
towards
our
best
systems
and
also
I
attended
the
vacation
rentals
meeting
today
with
the
Community
Development
staff
and
was
able
to
find
out
what
was
going
on
there.
And
then
one
of
the
things
I'm
somewhat
concerned
about
off
and
on
is
those
crossing
the
raised
bubble,
Crossing
that
we
have
on
Corners
throughout
Arcata.
H
H
H
You
don't
have
to
answer
me
I'm,
just
that's
my
report
on
that
one
then
I
worry
about
that
I,
send
pictures
and
whenever
I
see
them
so
I
think
that's
all
I
did
go
to
yesterday.
I
did
go
to
the
mmip
and
was
it
all
day
event
that
was
at
the
community
center
and
I
was
funded
and
arranged
by
the
Humboldt
area.
H
Foundation
I
think
was
really
wise
for
them
to
do
that
and
they
had
indigenous
people
that
came
from
throughout
California
for
that
from
all
the
various
tribes
and
it's
amazing
some
of
the
work
that's
being
done
and
some
of
the
work
that
has
to
be
done.
That
isn't
always
done
correctly,
because
not
everyone
knows
what
the
law
is.
H
That
I
think
was
well
worth
it,
and
I
was
happy
that
I
went
because
it
is
an
issue,
and
we
hear
more
about
it
from
in
Canada
for
quite
a
long
time
about
missing
women
and
there's
missing
everyone,
children,
women
and
they
have
the
last
half
of
the
day
where
parents
coming
or
individuals
talking
about
their
children
disappearing
or
their
wife
disappearing
or
their
child
disappearing
and
trafficking
trafficking.
We
know
we
have
a
big
issue
with
trafficking
throughout
the
United
States,
and
that
was
something
else
they
talked
about.
So
thank
you.
E
I
forgot
I
did
have
something
I
wanted
to
report
or
at
least
announce
I'm,
not
our
chamber
person,
but
I
am
our
Redwood
Coast
Energy
Authority
person,
and
so
our
cea
is
hosting
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
mixer
tomorrow
at
5
30,
and
it
will
be
at
wrangletown,
North
storyline
on
I
Street
next
to
salt
and
there's
gonna
be
live
music
and
it
is
guaranteed
to
be
a
good
time.
I
also
hear
there's
going
to
be
some
energy
trivia,
something.
C
A
And
from
for
mine,
I
yeah,
we
did
mainstreet's
getting
a
new
executive
director
as
well,
which
is
exciting
and
also
I,
attended.
The
central
Del
Pueblo
fundraiser
that
they
had
last
weekend
at
the
community
garden
at
El
Jardin,
and
it
was
really
lovely
which
man
was
there
as
well,
and
they
had
a
great
fundraising
effort.
So
it
was
a
good
Community
event.
